It's being rubbed in our faces, forcefully and repeatedly, that our political class are not the ones in charge, obviously.

Yes, you're right...I find myself wondering every single day just exactly who it is that's running our government! It's NOT the clowns we see on TV, that's for sure!

In Canada, we have what can only be described as an Occupation Government led by a certifiable moron, failed drama teacher Justin Trudeau, and his puppet cabinet, that was clearly installed by the Money Powers. It seems the entire western world is ruled by Occupation Governments which is why we need to focus on the power behind the throne. Follow the money and it will lead you to an International Banking Cabal that is waging a war against all western nations and Christian Western Civilization. This Cabal needs to be exposed and destroyed for the sake of all humanity. Isn't it shocking that we do not know the owners of the most powerful private institution in the US that controls the value of your labor, pensions and savings...the Federal Reserve bank which is neither a federal nor a reserve agency?

Totally! But in every organization the rot flows from the top down. So we can judge those above based on what we see in Congress. No wonder western countries are devolving.

It is said that politics is downstream from culture and we have been in cultural decline for over a century...probably since the Enlightenment Era when we abandoned God and embraced the scientific method of man. Who needs God when we have god-like scientists who are prepared to remake the world in the image of man. Follow the science they say. And I am speaking as someone who has been a research scientist for over 35 years, published over 200 peer reviewed papers, and was fortunate to collaborate with some of the most capable scientists in the world. The recent mRNA shots that have killed and injured millions world-wide is a testament to this Brave New World created by man.

As always, she is parroting the lines in the same way they were presented to her. Her puppeteers teach her using the childlike inflections and she then parrots back. She is a used up skin sack, holding in the mind and substance of a child.

And we are paying the price.

The lady often seems to be addressing her remarks to intellectually challenged children. Not just because of the preschool vocabulary, but her presentation! It's painful to see - and listen.

On target, Mr. Bray.

The Globalist Agenda has one of its goals as the loss of trust in institutions. And the destruction of everything else.

Given the clowns they have been throwing at us for decades - and the political nadir we are at now - I'd say they have been wildly successful. The controlled demolition policies have followed installation of these sock puppets.

Collectively, they are like wind-up toys, spewing forth Big (P)harma, ClimateHoax et al talking points without a thought in their heads.

And then signing into law the measures that will see our societies crumble.

Still, I think we have enough rope.

The only time I've ever listened to her was that clip where she described herself, the room she was in, what she was wearing, etc. I derive no benefit from listening to any of the puppets; I've probably listened to five minutes total of elected officials talking since... maybe since the Rand Paul faux-libuster about drones killing Americans?

The most gratifying thing in a lot of these exchanges is the laughter on the faces (and in the room) of those being questioned. They have (and should have) absolute contempt for the question-askers. They say profoundly stupid things. And those being questioned know they have the upper hand. They know. And the dumb is just getting dumber in government. But hanging onto stories and ideas that are so indefensible must scramble the brain somehow. Right? I mean, they’re really just kind of dissociating from reality now, right?

Who has the upper hand? Taibbi was deprived of his First Amendment rights, along with a lot of other Americans (including journalists). It doesn't matter that the people in Congress are stupid. Taibbi is far smarter than the members of Congress, sure. Much good may it do him (and us).

Well, reading the room and the attitudes, Taibi & Co know they have the moral, intellectual, and rational upper hand. Doesn’t matter if the government eventually “wins” anything, they’ve already lost.

Right, right. I have a friend who is a pastor's wife who said in 2020 she focused on the fact that no ome could stop her from praying in her own mind. Re: the eternal things, Taibbi wins. Re: actually living the free American life that is our right... not so much.

Good lord. I know I look down on the college freshmen our high schools produce, but I will say it now: Any one of my former students could easily replace either one of those elected officials. How the hell does that even happen? Do they get stupid AFTER getting elected? Are they just high?

I think DWS' attack on Taibbi was never intended to elicit information, but primarily to provide sound bites for Regime media. It was insular and really had nothing to do with Taibbi. Her acting was 'sold to the cheap seats'' to fire up the lefty rage machine, and hopefully trip up Taibbi or Shellenburger.

For 30 years we've been adding to the library at the ranch. My great-grand children, have almost 3000 volumes of the classics and how-to books from the late 1800s through to the 1950s. They also have tools from the same era. We made learning the use of those tools into games for our own kids, the grandkids, and for the last few years, our great- grandkids.

Is that the same Debbie Wasserman Schultz who was ousted from the DNC Chairmanship for getting caught plotting to cheat Bernie Sanders out of the nomination in favor of HRC? And now she's attempting to lecture Matt Taibbi on ethical conduct? Go figure!

What I find fascinating is that somehow she's managed to get enough (apparently brain dead) constituents to forget (or ignore) her complete lack of integrity and send her back to Washington. How'd THAT happen?

They are there precisely because they are stupid. If you’re trying to stay on script while you take over the country/continent/world, you don’t need a bunch of smart ass independent thinkers popping off with actual thoughts that might be at odds with The Agreed Upon Narrrative. No, you want worker drones, or in the case of politicians, hooker drones. No disparagement intended to actual hookers. So when Learless Feeder makes a proclamation from his bunker under the Federal Reserve or Disney World, and all the copy goes out, the drones recite the liturgy with solemnity and sincerity. How do these people get elected you ask? In Arizona they don’t. They are selected and the process is adapted yo the selected candidate. Katie Hobbs is an airhead with zero charisma, zero intelligence, zero ethics, zero anything you’d want your kids to grow up to be, but she’s the governor, after refusing to speak/debate/campaign/ do shadow puppets. Nothing.

So that’s the new model. Shut up, do what we tell you and you get to be an elected official.

It’s bad enough to have a government that is deconstructing the greatest nation in the history of the planet. The fact that the faces of this government are trashy morons is the salt in the wound. And the Republicans are just the other side of the same coin. They don’t hate the Democrats. That’s theater. They hate us. We need a new party. There’s no way around it. The incumbent institutions aren’t going to adapt, right Ronna Romney McConnell Pence McDanielBush? Fuggedabout it.

Well put, Tanto! Your observations are dead on. So the question is, given that the "trashy morons" control the government, the media, education, and the economy, how do we dig our way out of this ever deepening hole.

I don’t know if we have the collective will and brains to do it. And I’m not going to advocate for violence, because I think right now that’s a suicide mission that will only hurt the odds to fix this. The breadth and depth of the corruption and ignorance is amazing. It requires mass noncompliance. It requires some clever leadership which we don’t have. And it will require the regime to continue to ruin everything. Because nothing changes until the pain is bad enough and that’s where the problem lies. A lot of people have already suffered with COVID and the response to COVID, the canceling of people, the economic shenanigans. But life goes on. And there’s no big change. No big uprising. Probably the regime will collapse. But that could take a long time. Criminals are still running everything. One of the paradoxes is that people are resilient and adapt so they figure out how to survive the

Idiocracy. The security state is vast and the legal system is politicized.Unless you want to be a martyr, small groups just get crushed when they go up against that. Look at January 6. So I don’t think that’s a solution. Better for the average awake ( not woke) person to withdraw from as much as you can, be as self sufficient as feasible,keep yourself and your loved ones safe and fed, with a roof over your head, try to find a community of like minded not crazy people ( hard these days) and wait for more information. The cracks in the facade are appearing every day. I am surprised by our lassitude, but I don’t think enough people are ready to stand up to the state to make change happen. Eventually the tide will turn. I know - not inspiring.

We seem to have reached similar conclusions. I predicted the inevitable collapse of our so-called "liberal democracy" well over half a century ago, (in my university days). But I didn't anticipate living long enough to actually watch it happen.

Expand full comment

Well, unfortunately we have a front row seat. This thing could be turned around. The fastest way to do it is simply not what most people would find acceptable these days, and that has to factor into the equation. The fact is that most of the people in high positions in the government are either actively treasonous or passively assisting treason. It is treason to allow an invasion of your country in contravention of the law. It is treason to disable a sitting President trying to uphold his oath of office. It’s treason to kill your citizens with a virus you fabricated illegally and then give them toxic vaccines which injure and kill them or render them infertile. I just think that many people are so divorced from reality and you aren’t going to talk to them and watch the lightbulb go on. Not happening. The people who started this country had the right idea. And Trump had the right idea vis a vis ISIS. We were told that fighting them was a generational conflict. When the incompetent diplomats and the lawyers had to stand down, and we let the military do what it’s supposed to do ( break things and kill bad guys), it took about 9 months. Of course when Uncle Creepy became President and the wokesters had his ear, everything fell apart on purpose.

I can not stop thinking about that. Especially when around friends/family who vote D. Most of them I know have no idea that censorship is happening.

And if they did, they would make up an excuse to dismiss my claims...even when shown irrefutable evidence.

One of the interesting aspects of the last 5 years is that liberals, who once defended 1A unconditionally, are now for censoring anything that would challenge their dogma!

Ryan, mr Gardner, I don't know your family but from personal experience over here - both in the present and when the Iron Curtain was up - I'd argue they wouldn't make up excuses.

They would instead endorse and defend it and make tacit accusations against anyone not calling for state control of all media pre-publication as well as the re-writing of what is already published, plus that they would also more or less openly accuse anyone looking up things for themselves as dangerous splitters and sowers of discord.

Depending on which survey one picks, 30%-60% of EU-serfs answer in the affirmative re: state or even supra-state censorship. As with all surveys, it's in how you ask.

Given the voting patterns of the US, I hardly think it's different over there.

Wasserman Schultz is a vile, partisan hack. She reads a piece off a piece of paper that is 100% fiction. She acts as those this fantasy of leftists like her is in fact 100% fact. Elon “spoon fed” the information. It’s a total lie. Elon gave real journalists access to whatever information they wanted, so the people that are actually not partisan hacks could get it unfiltered and make up there own minds. I can’t imagine how exhausting it must have been for Taibbi to scour through 1000’s and 1000’s of mundane emails. And the idea that he is some sort of right wing nut job is laughable. These politicians are low information, bottom feeding losers. Almost to a man.
