"... On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur. "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going in for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in."
Florida announced results (for all districts) within a couple hours of close. It is completely Republican run, and free of Dem shenanigans, especially mail in ballots, machines and other unconstitutional non state legislator mandated changes. Voters in FL got what Voters want.
California is completely Dem run, the next day it has only 42% vote counted.
Why? To buy time to get the Establishment to "fix" voter intent to get what the establishment wants.
It’s still only at 45% counted at 11’pm the day after the election. My ballot hasn’t been counted (I’m signed up for notifications). San Diego still has over 500,000 uncounted ballots. WTF?
SNL was great when it first came out in 1975. In recent years, it has become unwatchable. They used to make fun of everybody. Now it is completely woke and one-sided.
I think that substack is a bit of an echo chamber of self educated people. In spite of the fact their are probably a million readers on substack we are only a small portion of the US population. The people that are on here are far from representative. Most people live their lives in a social media bubble - their memory extends to last week maybe and the future means nothing. They have no deep hatreds or loves. Only petty grievances and short term lusts. Only today matters.
This has a serious effect on elections. Our leaders are a reflection of the average American.
Until covid-19, it was possible or at least easier, outside of the encroaching wokeness, to largely ignore the ignorance, fear and authoritarian tendencies of the public (politicians, not so much). The extent that many of us have been forced to acknowledge those tendencies even in friends and family in these past years is gut-wrenching, to be honest.
Makes the NPC meme, or what the ancient Gnostics' called Hylics, seem like an accurate description of much of humanity, sadly. Not sure what to make of that, but your assessment is, regrettably, spot on.
Man, I'm usually optimistic, but I have to tell you, I hope people get what they voted for - and get it hard - like with a 2X4 sideways in the bungholio.
Potentially with me moving out of the US. It's not about candidates or parties at this point It's about a sizable percentage of my countrymen with whom I have irreconcilable differences. This is far beyond differing policy opinions. A communist cauliflower is going to be a member of the US Senate. The culture in America has changed dramatically and swiftly. I don't think there is a way back,
My short list is Panama, Portugal and Zambia. I don't think you can ever escape the globalists, but you could at least enjoy a simpler life. Each of the three have their pros and cons. I'm not sure if I'll ever do it, but I figure researching a plan B is better than sticking my head in the sand.
I honestly wouldn't go anywhere near Zambia. When ultimately the SHTF big time, that is not going to be a welcoming or very safe place to be. I have lived in Africa and when things go bad, people don't stick together and help each other out, it becomes a total sh1tshow, every man for himself. (And the brutal violence is real.) You'll get killed for your shoes or watch. And the govt and the government lackeys (cops and army) are more corrupt than probably anything you've ever experienced.
I honestly don't know where an ideal country would be to flee to, I don't know if one exists anymore. As with everything else, I guess you've got to choose the best of a bad lot. Live in a community of friendly, helpful, mild mannered people. (Maybe they would even turn on you, who knows?) Foreigners will always be foreigners in a foreign land, especially when things turn really rough...
I've been to Africa and totally understand the possibility of brutal violence. That is why Zambia is on the list and not say...Somalia or Zimbabwe. Again, not sure I'll ever do it. I'm also not sure what kind of SHTF event you're thinking about, but I'm willing to bet it won't have the same impact in developing nation's since there's less to lose. I'd be more worried about civil unrest in a developing nation vs. any kind of global SHTF scenario.
Your life or family's life is never less to lose. Never live somewhere where life is cheap. Living with less is one thing, but you can do that anywhere. SHTF event? Most countries in Africa are on a knife edge. Just a lack of food or water or electricity or gas or anything else can set off crazy rioting and looting and killing. And we should all know by now that the engineered shortages are "coming to a country near you" soon.
Don’t get me wrong, I do not really trust Putin, but these words are promising. I don’t hear this sort of thing from a single leader in the West. (BTW I wouldn't really consider moving to Russia, that was tongue in cheek.)
Putin. September 30, 2022:
“The current neocolonial model is ultimately doomed; this much is obvious. But I repeat that its real masters will cling to it to the end. They simply have nothing to offer the world except to maintain the same system of plundering and racketeering.”
“They do not give a damn about the natural right of billions of people, the majority of humanity, to freedom and justice, the right to determine their own future. They have already moved on to the radical denial of moral, religious, and family values.”
“Let’s answer some very simple questions for ourselves. Now I would like to return to what I said and want to address also all citizens of the country – not just the colleagues that are in the hall – but all citizens of Russia: do we want to have here, in our country, in Russia, “parent number one, parent number two and parent number three” (they have completely lost it!) instead of mother and father? Do we want our schools to impose on our children, from their earliest days in school, perversions that lead to degradation and extinction? Do we want to drum into their heads the ideas that certain other genders exist along with women and men and to offer them gender reassignment surgery? Is that what we want for our country and our children? This is all unacceptable to us. We have a different future of our own.”
“Let me repeat that the dictatorship of the Western elites targets all societies, including the citizens of Western countries themselves. This is a challenge to all. This complete renunciation of what it means to be human, the overthrow of faith and traditional values, and the suppression of freedom are coming to resemble a “religion in reverse” – pure Satanism. Exposing false messiahs, Jesus Christ said in the Sermon on the Mount: “By their fruits ye shall know them.” These poisonous fruits are already obvious to people, and not only in our country but also in all countries, including many people in the West itself.”
I agree with you about Jesus and Australia. The issue today is that things are moving much MUCH faster in the wrong direction. There was no serious thought in the Obama days about mutilating children to appease their parent's woke/weirdo ideas. The national debt was $19Tish when Obama left office. Today it's over $31T and interest rates are rising as well. Anyway, my point is; it's different this time. Yes Portugal is pretty socialist. That is definitely a con. But on the flip side I have no emotional investment in their system of government. I would only be there for the low cost of living and quality of life. In other words, if we're all gonna be commies I might as well be a comfortable commie.
Panama has an IRS office in Panama City.... You can do some things to legally protect your assets, but all of them are part of FACTA. Zambia?? I have worked in Uganda since 2009 and love it. I'd move there for my work. But to get away from crazy crap?! There is no African country where that's possible, esp if you're American and more especially if you're a mzungu (white person, at least in E Africa).
I've been to Africa. I understand your point. I guess it depends on what kind of crazy crap you're trying to avoid. I forgot to mention the US Virgin Islands. It would still be part of the political nonsense to some degree, but they always need nurses, pay well and if you're going to be a serf might as well be on the beach.
The coward peasant thing is human nature. I'm not interested in escaping that as it is unpossible. However, there are places on earth that are not shoving chicks with dicks down your throat 24/7.
I've lived in Georgia for 40 years now and you are 100% correct. I knew it in 2020. Elections as a way for the people to control the government are over. Which is pretty depressing. But what we need to do is put on our big boy pants and move on. We believe in real democracy, which means the people control the government. If we can't control the government through elections, and it is clear that the American people are no longer in the driver's seat, then what's Plan B? They keep telling us that our choices are elections or violence, but think about social media. They kept telling us that our choices were put up with it or go start our own, well a third choice popped up with twitter, now I am not saying that that is directly applicable but, for the American people reining in the federal beast, let's not force ourselves into a false dichotomy. Elections don't work and we are not violent people. It's time to think of some other options.
You mean stop feeding them tax money? I am not sure they collect tax money because they want the money, I think it is just another equity scheme, picking winners and losers. The increase in federal law enforcement is certainly intended to enforce their will on us, but how to fight it? State and local governments provide one avenue but it seems likely they will see that coming and be prepared, although the Regimes vast incompetence might make that route more plausible than I think. I think we have to write off the republican party as a help towards self-government with a few specific exceptions. After the 2020 debacle I, and I expect most of the others here, trusted MAGA and the Republicans to make this time go better. They failed. Time to fix it ourselves or give up on the self-government dream I would say.
Jane, Maricopa Co ADMITTED there was fraud in the 2020 election last week. Then there were those pesky glitches on Election Day. WTF. At least FL was shamed by the hanging chads and cleaned up their election personnel and systems.
Big Gretch is the specter of death herself. Perhaps the cold, dark winters and SAD have so warped the minds of the alleged majority of Michiganders who “voted” for her, see seems like a familiar drug.
Her beloved Abortion up to birth program via Proposal 3 has also just been installed. Now she and her wretched cronies, Nessel and Benson, can warm their claws in even more innocent human blood.
I'll tell you how this ends, think Rome in reverse. When Rome fell the People of the lands they conquered were freed and regained power in their own country. When we fall, our people who once had their own power will be swept up by foreign nations and subjugated to them. biden isn't working for the American People, and as far as I can see he is joined by many on both sides of the aisle at all levels of American government. From the lowest local office, to the highest office in the land politicians are working in their own self interests and many of those interests are funded by our enemies.
Make no mistake, without a change in direction and holding elected officials to their oaths the end is still the same no matter who is elected. But electing those who will not change the course, and reelecting those who have put us on this course will only hasten the end, and it is coming soon.
"When Rome fell the People of the lands they conquered were freed and regained power in their own country. "
Not true, many of them escaped the cities to the latifundas owned by the wealthy elite. This is how feudalism began. Its all a cycle my friend, and is why they say history doesn't repeat but it rhymes
No, actually for all the drama and ensuing horrors and pending wars our elites are reasserting the American Empire, it comes into the open in all its horrors at last. We’re rapidly reindustrializing for 🇺🇸 example, so that’s good for us peasants.
We’ll be happier peasants.
The price of reindustrializing is War and hostile relations with Russia, China and the subjugation of Europe as never before, but good for us, or at least better than war and offshoring.
Eventually the sexual predators as teachers and even race hustles shall be cast aside. Not that anyone wants their kids anywhere but school, mmm?
America won’t be conquered and divided up because- it already has an owner class, and its now again yet confirmed they do not share power. Americans conquered America, and we are subjects not citizens. Or not free, nor more Republic.
I sit here, in the house that my father built, on the banks of a beautiful creek, surrounded by wildlife and trees and light. An oasis in a blue state that just shaded to a deep indigo. How can I leave it? How can I stay? My trust in humans has withered to dust - I see it drifting off on the breeze. It doesn’t really matter if the voters were stupid or the cheaters cheated. Either scenario is gut wrenching and saps my strength and hope. What to do?
It ends thusly: Comrade, you are hereby ordered to report to your local non-cis-gendered Gen Z bureaucrat whom will administer your weekly disinformation vaccine and cricket protein ration. Be sure to keep your cell clean and tidy for daily inspection!
I had to stop watching livestreams, no cable or network tv for me, and get off social media at about 930pm pacific. This is my first taste of whatever atrocity started unfolding last night and I don't have the stomach to look at the results. All the voting issues across the nation are just laughable. I don't see how this country continues.
The governing party of Quebec - the CAQ - imposed the most futile and vicious restrictions and psy-op games anywhere on the continent. At the time they held a strong majority with 74 of the 125 seats in the Parliament.
What did the people do? Rewarded them with 90 seats!
This is the good thing about federalism. I moved away from a state that kept voting for stupidity, to a state that tends not to vote for it (or at least to vote for the less stupid of the two generally available options), and last night was as good a night for me as it could have been. It would have been nice if either of the Libertarian candidates in our state had won, but one of them got ~30% of the vote, which would have been impossible where I came from. And we didn't pick a governor who wants to lock us in our houses or take our jobs away for declining a toxic, experimental gene therapy with no legal recourse for its victims. My old state did. For state-regulated stuff (as opposed to Congressionally-legislated stuff), they will keep on getting what they deserve. As long as there are places where sane people choose non-awful leaders--or at least, the lesser of two weevils--I won't cry in my beer over the folks who chose the bigger weevil. There is not a single one of my friends or family who does not have greater financial means than my own little family; we were the only ones who had the sense to leave. They're all busy rationalizing what happened and how it won't be that bad, could be worse, etc. Whatever.
I'm happy that the third branch of government has decided (better late than never) to do its job of enabling people to refuse the mouse shots without greater sacrifice.

Thank you for this absolute gem of a quote from one of the most enjoyable and most timeless novels of the 20th century.
Fuckin AWESOME book.
The perfect SNL skit? Biden and Fetterman having a meeting about anything. Then they bring in Hobbs to help them. God help us all.
Brilliant.
Then KJP will explain it to Peter Doocy, “to be clear.”
The sorry thing is that we will never see this comedy gold from the likes of SNL.
SNL was great when it first came out in 1975. In recent years, it has become unwatchable. They used to make fun of everybody. Now it is completely woke and one-sided.
And it wouldn't even need to be scripted.

Very astute observation, I hear you, see you, feel you.
I think we are victims of our own bubble. I for one was hoping for it to become obvious that people were sick of the Covid bullshit. Disappointing.
That’s exactly what they want you to think and to be.
Great insight
Makes the NPC meme, or what the ancient Gnostics' called Hylics, seem like an accurate description of much of humanity, sadly. Not sure what to make of that, but your assessment is, regrettably, spot on.
Then clearly we're in for a helluva thing.
Great post Chris...but depressing.

Well thanks for the laugh at least! Idiocracy is the most prophetic piece of media since 1984.

It has fairer elections.
So does the local Teamster’s Union.
Or Brazil seems to have pretty fair elections... 😆
😆
You mean, because the CIA is in charge of counting the ballots? ;)
When Obama got elected we thought pretty seriously about moving to Australia. Glad we didn’t go that route!
We were recently in the Azores. Part of Portugal and hence pretty socialist, but they seem to be pretty self-sufficient and a healthy lifestyle.
Still, the best refuge is Jesus.
I agree with you about Jesus and Australia. The issue today is that things are moving much MUCH faster in the wrong direction. There was no serious thought in the Obama days about mutilating children to appease their parent's woke/weirdo ideas. The national debt was $19Tish when Obama left office.

I agree Mike. Those of us over 40 know what’s up.
Hmmm…you may need reinforcements, or need to use other talents at your disposal-LOL!😳
Where?
Think hard.
Something goes wrong you got family there?
Oh, and our 🇺🇸 countrymen are just coward peasants. This is normal, certainly no place to hide from that outside of Chechnya or the Balkans.
You have to kill someone to be a man there TBH. Kill the wrong one, blood feuds.
Think hard
The coward peasant thing is human nature. I'm not interested in escaping that as it is unpossible. However, there are places on earth that are not shoving chicks with dicks down your throat 24/7.
This is true.
It's time for the cheating deniers to stop denying the blatant election cheating.
Every person I know in GA voted for Herschel Walker but only half of those folks held their nose and voted for Kemp.
The other half skipped over the governor's race on their ballot and left it blank. So how did Kemp end up with more votes than Walker?
Cheaters, that's how. No wonder none of the Dems debated -- they knew they'd win regardless.
I has the sadz now.
I've lived in Georgia for 40 years now and you are 100% correct. I knew it in 2020. Elections as a way for the people to control the government are over. Which is pretty depressing.

I think this is where God ends His humor.
I’m in CT so stuck in Lib nonsense for eternity. I can’t get past MI and how the “majority” wanted MORE of Gov Gretch.
Who says they really did? With all the computer screw ups all across the country who's to say they voted for her?
Yes, Most glaringly in Maricopa county in Arizona which is a scandal in itself
Those aren’t computer screw ups if the Democrats won.
Katie Hobbs is AZ Secretary of State, she’s in charge of ... elections . Including her own.
That’s a feature, not a glitch 🤣🤣
😂🤣😂🤣
Jane, Maricopa Co ADMITTED there was fraud in the 2020 election last week. Then there were those pesky glitches on Election Day. WTF. At least FL was shamed by the hanging chads and cleaned up their election personnel and systems.
FL fixed itself because Gore lost.
If Bush had lost those chads would have been Bronzed.

Eventually the sexual predators as teachers and even race hustles shall be cast aside. Not that anyone wants their kids anywhere but school, mmm?
America won’t be conquered and divided up because- it already has an owner class, and its now again yet confirmed they do not share power. Americans conquered America, and we are subjects not citizens. Or not free, nor more Republic.
We’re; The Democracy.
Let’s call it The Democracy.
Its not Our Democracy, its their Democracy.
But The Democracy is fair.
I sit here, in the house that my father built, on the banks of a beautiful creek, surrounded by wildlife and trees and light. An oasis in a blue state that just shaded to a deep indigo. How can I leave it? How can I stay? My trust in humans has withered to dust - I see it drifting off on the breeze. It doesn’t really matter if the voters were stupid or the cheaters cheated. Either scenario is gut wrenching and saps my strength and hope. What to do?
It ends thusly: Comrade, you are hereby ordered to report to your local non-cis-gendered Gen Z bureaucrat whom will administer your weekly disinformation vaccine and cricket protein ration. Be sure to keep your cell clean and tidy for daily inspection!
I had to stop watching livestreams, no cable or network tv for me, and get off social media at about 930pm pacific. This is my first taste of whatever atrocity started unfolding last night and I don't have the stomach to look at the results. All the voting issues across the nation are just laughable. I don't see how this country continues.
Want 'please shit on us' more?
The governing party of Quebec - the CAQ - imposed the most futile and vicious restrictions and psy-op games anywhere on the continent. At the time they held a strong majority with 74 of the 125 seats in the Parliament.
What did the people do? Rewarded them with 90 seats!
Here! Govern us harder!
This is the good thing about federalism. I moved away from a state that kept voting for stupidity, to a state that tends not to vote for it (or at least to vote for the less stupid of the two generally available options), and last night was as good a night for me as it could have been. It would have been nice if either of the Libertarian candidates in our state had won, but one of them got ~30% of the vote, which would have been impossible where I came from. And we didn't pick a governor who wants to lock us in our houses or take our jobs away for declining a toxic, experimental gene therapy with no legal recourse for its victims. My old state did. For state-regulated stuff (as opposed to Congressionally-legislated stuff), they will keep on getting what they deserve. As long as there are places where sane people choose non-awful leaders--or at least, the lesser of two weevils--I won't cry in my beer over the folks who chose the bigger weevil. There is not a single one of my friends or family who does not have greater financial means than my own little family; we were the only ones who had the sense to leave. They're all busy rationalizing what happened and how it won't be that bad, could be worse, etc. Whatever.
I'm happy that the third branch of government has decided (better late than never) to do its job of enabling people to refuse the mouse shots without greater sacrifice.
