Welcome, my dear readers, to the first post of 2024. It is hard to imagine that I have been tending the asylum for two years and we are starting our third together. I hate to say it but 2024 is probably going to be a more difficult and dangerous year than any that have gone before, since the 1860s in America. I know things haven’t been great in a while. I know all of the economic issues since 2020 are just an acceleration of consequences set in motion more than 100 years ago (here, here, and here). The financial collapse was inevitable and after the crash of 2007-2009, with artificially suppressed interest rates causing real prices of most things especially housing (both purchased and rented) to artificially skyrocket, it was only a matter of time before the end and it didn’t matter who was elected. Sure, maybe they could kick the can another couple of years, but the longer it was put off the worse the reckoning would be. Sadly, even by 2007, the eventual reckoning was so big as to make the great depression look like a wealthy, booming period. Even then, with a cohesive society, we could have borne it and come out the other side.
Sadly, over the last 40 years, there has been a growing distrust in the powers of governance as they have proven beyond doubt over and over that they are not trustworthy (here, here, and here). Until the rise of the internet in the mid-90s, those people could be managed and if they couldn’t, then what is another Ruby Ridge or WACO between friends? But in the last 20 years or so, it has become more clear to more and more people, as more information comes to light, that the government will kill, torture, and maim its people to advance its power and will also get away with it for decades until there is no one left to punish (here). This has been fully supported by a compromised mainstream media (MSM) which is little more than the mouthpiece for the establishment (here and here). This caused the MSM to lose all credibility with almost all demographics with their repeated denial of objective reality in support of a false narrative during COVID in 2020-2021 (here, here, and here). This distrust is completely healthy and probably beneficial in a lot of ways.
The thing that is and will destroy us as a nation is the local distrust and division that has been sown in neighborhoods, towns, states, and families. This has been a much more recent event. After several decades of healing from the civil rights acts of the 1960s through the 1990s there was a high degree of integration between races. As a society at large, we were realizing the dream of Dr. King, where people didn’t so much concern themselves with skin color or origin. I am not saying that there weren’t racist assholes of every color out there because there were and always will be. The only real solution to that is to force them onto the fringes of society, out of polite company, and keep them there, making the consequences of their worldview unattractive to new devotees. We were so close to that becoming reality that we elected a Black president who was in a position to fully unify the majority of the country. Sadly, he didn’t. Through his administration, he used his position to plant seeds of distrust and drive wedges deep into the American people. It was Obama’s Departments of Education, Commerce, Energy, and Justice that first introduced the foundations and
administrative requirements for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), as well as Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG), the two levers that in the preceding decade would be used to rend the very fabric of American society into tattered shreds of warring camps. Obama also started the war on American energy and the push for unreliable, unready, and ultimately bad renewable energy sources (here, here, here, and here). Over his 8 years, Obama masterfully seized on elements of the security and intelligence apparatus and made sure that they were fully politicized and seeded as much as possible with loyal zealots (here and here).
I think the plan was to have Hillary continue where Obama left off, but they didn’t realize she was the single least electable person in the country. The media, being the compliant tools that they are, went along and created the illusion that Hillary was a lock and couldn’t lose. That is until she did, and then for the next several years, we had to listen to lies made up as they went along about Russian collusion, and false quid pro quo accusations, while we had 100% proof of Biden’s illegal quid pro quo on video published to the internet (here). All while prominent media and liberals claimed the 2016 election was illegitimate (here, here, and here), it became clear to most normal people that something wasn’t right and as a result what was liberal was pushed so far out that prominent liberals with principles like Tim Pool, Elon Musk, Bill Maher, and others were to be called conservative or even far-right by core players on the left (here, here, and here). None of these people are conservative by any stretch of the imagination, but they are all reasonable, and willing to accept objective reality. Unfortunately, no matter where you stand on any issue if you are unwilling to decouple yourself from objective reality then you are a far-right extremist, or so the death cult would have you believe. Sadly, far too many prominent liberals lack any integrity or convictions and just slid along with the insanity to stay relevant. For essentially Trump’s entire term, we were bombarded with claims the election was rigged and he was illegitimate, even after millions of dollars were spent in an investigation that disproved these claims (here, here, and here). These blatant attacks furthered the divides and even broke off more traditional liberals who had a basic sense of justice and fair play (here).
From there, the nation and the world were thrown into the hysteria and mass psychosis that was COVID. With constantly false claims on the news and a concerted effort to spread terror and hysteria, even when the evidence didn’t support the reporting, to a set of vaccines that appears to have killed far more people than COVID did. Into the summer of love, where we saw thousands looting, burning, raping, and murdering in major cities across the country, were just peaceful protests with no COVID risk and folks in their cars at a drive-in was a ‘super spreader’ event (here, here, here, here, here, and here). With all this unresolved baggage, media-manufactured stress, and the very real divisions that come from it, we had the election of 2020. From the polls closing in three states before a winner was found then vote counting resuming after the monitors left, unexplained truckloads of ballots, ballots with no chain of custody, newly legalized ballot harvesting, blind mail of ballots, and so many more strange irregular occurrences, followed by an overnight miracle upset victory for Biden, followed by a court system unwilling to hear cases or dismissing nearly all cases for lack of standing or other technicality rather than on merits (here). This culminated in the staged insurrection of January 6th, 2021 and yes I am fully willing to call it staged after watching hours of footage of capital police ushering people into the building, giving tours, and taking selfies with people (here, here, and here). Then, there is the fact several people were caught on camera instigating violence, agitating for invading the capitol, and then actively orchestrating the small group that actively attacked the building who have been largely protected from prosecution, chief among them Ray Epps. Ray was on the wanted list of the FBI just after January 6th, then removed. After that, the media and democrats, namely Pelosi, tried very hard to protect him (here, here, and here). Only years later and after enormous pressure was Ray finally given a slap on the wrist (here). Never mind Ray is on camera directing attacks on the front of the capitol, things that others have been sentenced to years for on far less deviance (here and here).
After this things start to get strange, with soccer moms on watch lists and schools covering up bathroom rape, all to support an agenda and chill the speech of normal people (here and here). All of this in light of clear and confirmed criminal activity being excused, allowed, and accepted by certain political classes (here). We are left with a country divided into camps. One is an insane victim class that is dependent on authority and the establishment elite that will promise this class anything if they are just violent in the right ways. The other is everyone else who doesn’t want our kids mutilated in war or operating rooms, wants to be left alone, and leave people alone. Unfortunately, the desires of this class are becoming more and more irrelevant to the establishment as they flood our nation with unvetted migrants, most military-aged men, and trafficked women and children (here, here, and here). To make matters worse, it isn’t just people from South and Central America crossing the border. More and more it is Chinese, Africans, and Middle Easterners (here, here, and here). The real question is how are impoverished migrants from halfway across the world finding their way to the US southern border and who or what is helping them get there?
I admit the picture is bleak, as the economy is going to get much worse and food will be much scarcer in the coming months, but I think the ignition point will be the election. There is already so much fuckery in the establishment trying to use government power to rig the game that I honestly don’t think it matters who wins, neither prominent side will accept the outcome. We have been in a 5th generational civil war for several years now that has more and more frequently bled over to 4th generational warfare in the last 18 months. If no one accepts the outcome of an election (I believe the process is so discredited at this point it is damaged beyond repair.) where does that leave us? I think this clash was carefully orchestrated over the last decade, and Biden is the sock puppet to give the establishment deniability if it didn’t work out. What it will look like, I don’t know. It could be cities turned into patchwork, autonomous hell zones. It could be actual armies supporting the rightful president in the field across the country. Or, it could be a graceful collapse into separate states. I don’t know. I do, however, believe that 2024 will be the year our true sorrow begins, whatever it looks like, and years of carefully cultivated division finally leads to real fracture. It is my sincerest hope that Jesus is in your heart and that he comes back soon.
Luke 17:22-24
22 Jesus said to His followers, “The time will come when you will wish you could see the Son of Man for one day. But you will not be able to. 23 They will say to you, ‘He is here,’ or, ‘He is there,’ but do not follow them. 24 When the Son of Man comes, He will be as lightning that shines from one part of the sky to the other.
God Bless you
