W. Bush spoke of the \u201cnew world order.\u201d\u00a0 Well, the cat is now thoroughly out of the bag.\u00a0 Our services are no longer required.\u00a0 The people who own most of the wealth and control everything of importance are saying in no uncertain terms to get lost.<\/p>\n<p>And to be totally honest my first impulse is to say goodbye.\u00a0 Who wants to be somewhere you\u2019re not wanted?\u00a0 But as a practical consideration where can I go?\u00a0 I guess I can return to the land of my ancestors.\u00a0 I hear the pasta there is really good.\u00a0 But the problem is that after four generations you become the place you\u2019re from.\u00a0 I\u2019ll always be a twentieth century American.\u00a0 That was the world I grew up in and knew.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t know how to be an Italian at this point if I tried for the rest of my life.\u00a0 And the same goes double for anyplace else.\u00a0 Sure, I might be able to make a living and I might be able to find a place there but it would never be home.\u00a0 Leaving this country would be the last desperate act of a man with no other choice.\u00a0 And I assume this is the case for tens of millions of other Americans who are no longer welcome in the land they were born in.\u00a0 Where can they go?\u00a0 The answer is nowhere.\u00a0 We\u2019re stuck.<\/p>\n<p>What our betters hope happens to us is a quick death.\u00a0 Their best case is opioid overdose.\u00a0 The worst case is a marginal life as a welfare case with a shortened lifespan and no descendants.\u00a0 This is the fate of people that no longer fit in with the plan.\u00a0 And they\u2019ve already made a decent start to the plan.\u00a0 Lots of devastated areas of the rust belt are curling up and dying.\u00a0 Upstate New York, Western Pennsylvania, large swaths of Appalachia, the upper Midwest and various places around the country are shocking remnants of what they were fifty years ago.\u00a0 Some of them are almost depopulated.<\/p>\n<p>But something happened back in 2016 that wasn\u2019t supposed to happen.\u00a0 Donald Trump held up a mirror to men like Jeb Bush and John Kasich and exposed them for the con men that they were.\u00a0 They were in on the racket and were meant to block the emergency exit that people flee to when the building is on fire.\u00a0 In the past when the Democrats got tired of the working-class people the people could go to the Republicans and get relief.\u00a0 But the Bushes were given the franchise by the Democrats to hold that exit closed.\u00a0 Both George Bushes did an excellent job at that station.\u00a0 Now it was Jeb\u2019s turn but Trump blew his cover.\u00a0 He told us the true story.\u00a0 And we got four years of relief and daylight.\u00a0 We got a reprieve.<\/p>\n<p>But in 2020 the Deep State cemented up the emergency exit and here we are.\u00a0 We\u2019re stuck inside a burning house and there\u2019s no way out.\u00a0 If anyone is going to save us it\u2019s going to be ourselves.\u00a0 No help is coming from Washington.\u00a0 That\u2019s where the fire is coming from.\u00a0 If no one steps forward to lead us out then the only thing left is to jump out a window.\u00a0 And when there is no other choice that\u2019s what you do.\u00a0 That\u2019s what I consider leaving the country is.\u00a0 It\u2019s jumping out the window of a burning building.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the thing about arson.\u00a0 If the victims survive the fire, they\u2019re going to come looking for the arsonist.\u00a0 And there\u2019s a chance his house is made of wood too.\u00a0 Our masters have depended on the fact that we\u2019re too busy trying to raise our families and live our lives to notice that our masters don\u2019t like us anymore.\u00a0 Well, we know that now and maybe we\u2019ll find some new masters.\u00a0 And maybe the old ones are going to go where mobs usually send aristocrats.\u00a0 Why let a good crisis go to waste?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Twentieth Century was the American Century.\u00a0 And the Ruling Elite created the American Dream to fuel it.\u00a0 They fed us the Walt Disney\/Norman Rockwell<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[103,1917,1627],"class_list":["post-15913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","tag-deplorables","tag-globalists","tag-the-elites"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
