I remember reading that back at the early part of the 1900's there was another 'progressive' movement.

I wonder if that changed the face of the culture like this movement we're experiencing has?

Same ideology?

I'm not sure.

What we're seeing is the Globohomo Agenda put into practice. And, anyone rational, anyone sane, anyone glandularly normal, would agree: It's repulsive and nauseating.

It will remain so, no matter HOW much the Globohomos grap of power. They're just winding the spring, until it snaps...which it will, and must, by the laws of physics.

That's to our advantage, because no matter HOW the mincing f@gg0ts try to normalize their deviancy, it cannot remain. Not so long as parents remain sentient. Not so long as men that are men, remain, and women who are women.

The question is, how much of the Deep State martial-law we have to combat in rising up. Ten years ago, this should have been solved in school-board meetings and political rallies. Now it's a matter of State Nullification of illegal Federal impositions. Soon it will be a matter solved as in Yugoslavia.
 
Trump rally Miami!

Trump POTUS 2024!
Desantis POTUS 2028!
Trump Jr. FL Gov2028!

 
The choice is coming, in the days ahead.

Rise up forcibly; or accept that the Deep State has completed its Color Revolution.

As with the populace in The Turner Diaries, I'm pretty sure that so long as the paychecks keep coming, the population will remain pacified.

Gramsci’s Grand Plan
July 5, 1999 | Fr. James Thornton​


One of the most interesting aspects of the study of history is that very often men born in the most humble of circumstances nevertheless rise up to affect the course of human history dramatically. They may be men of action or men of thought, yet in either case their activities can father tremendous changes across the years. Antonio Gramsci was both a man of action and thought and, whatever the outcome of the events of the next several decades, he will almost certainly be reckoned by future historians to have been a remarkable figure.

Born in obscurity on the island of Sardinia in 1891, Gramsci would not have been considered a prime candidate to impact significantly the 20th century. Gramsci studied philosophy and history at the University of Turin, and soon became a dedicated Marxist, joining the Italian Socialist Party. Immediately after the First World War, he established his own radical newspaper, The New Order, and shortly afterwards helped in the founding of the Italian Communist Party.

That is not as bit a negative as it seems it appears to you. Lemme give you a bit of positive historical information on this subject as to the percentage of Americans that supported the Revolution

"...it was supported by 25% according to George Washington..." I am using George Washington's word, but John Adams believed the number was closer to 1/3 that supported it.

The number who actually took up arms was about 3%.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But we've known each other for twenty years or more, and you KNOW I am going to bring my example up to date to show you how modern arms in the hands of the rulers does not, in the long run, mean shit.

The year is 1989. Iron fist rule in Communist Poland. <-- Unca Note: Observe the parallel to the USA right now in this quote:

"The creation of NSZZ Solidarity and its over year long period of legal functioning significantly altered the social awareness, a change which could no longer be reversed by the so-called politics of normalisation, which began after the introducing of martial law in Poland in December 1981." <-- Equate with Covid political overreach, FBI/CIA/etc. chicanery.

"The banning of Solidarity and the pacification of civil protests, which peaked on the 31st of August 1982 when demonstrations of supporters of the union took place in 66 cities, had not stopped the economic, social and political changes which put the People's Republic of Poland (PRL) in a state of chronic crisis and, after a change of the international situation, led to its downfall." <-- Equate with MSM/Twitter/etc. banning/censoring/mockingbirding.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bottom Line, Bro:

This ain't the first redeo, and it won't be the last. And you can bet your alabaster ass that there are enough of us -- you and me types -- who are all out of bubble gum. It is gonna happen, and the Good Guys have it.

And pmbug is right. We cool it.

So sit there and take it. We have done that for a pretty long time now and it's not working. But, Peaceful revolutions are possible and I think David Icke had the best strategy. Do Not Comply.

Is a summation of the situation, an incitement?

I'm not cracking wise. It's a fine line...and no, we GIMmers, or preppers, or even PM holders, didn't bring us here. Other persons, situations, and mindsets (insanity) have so done.

I hear you. I understand why. But I suppose we need to decide, and have spelled out...how much of this line of thought can be discussed, and where the line is.
 
Just me thinking out loud about changes I'd like to see when it comes to elections.

General
- Get rid of the electoral college and go with a popular vote.
- No more than two four-year terms across the board (federal, state & local.
- No one over 74 can hold office and no one over 70 allowed to run - across the board.

Pre-qualifications for candidates
- Must provide income tax returns for the past 8 years. No exceptions. These will be made public. No ticket - no laundry.
- Must take and pass both an American History and a Civics test. No exceptions. Results to be made public. Don't pass - you can't run.
- Must take and pass both a physical health exam and a mental health evaluation. Results will be made public. Don't make the grade, it's bye bye.
- No more than 1 bankruptcy.
- No connections with any radical organizations ( religious, political, etc.)
- For federal positions, candidates cannot own a business in a foreign country, nor have any business interests in a foreign country.
- For federal positions, no candidate can own a business that does business with the US Government, nor can they have any business interests in the same.
- No one who has ever made unproven claims of fake, stolen elections allowed to run for any office anywhere in the US.
- No one who has ever worked for or lobbied for a foreign government allowed to run for any federal office.
- Publicly pledge, both on paper and video, to abide by whatever outcome an election may bring. Publicly state that if they lose, they will accept the outcome and move on with their life. Period. No bullshit about fake or stolen elections.

Actual candidates
- Anyone who has made it this far and is running for prez or congress must get out of the stock market. Same goes for their family members. This is so they can't profit from insider trading. And agree to stay out of the stock market for four years after they leave office.
- Publicly show where every penny of every campaign contribution comes from and what it is being spent on.
- Agree to and abide by an ethical conduct pledge where they cannot lie about other candidates or any platforms / issues they are running on. Get caught lying............they will be taking the A train outta politics for eternity.
- Publicly agree that the DOJ is not their personal police force and pledge to stay away from them and to not try to use them against political rivals or for personal vendettas.

Election winners
- Take both a physical exam and mental health evaluation every year they are in office.
- Provide copies of their income tax returns every year they are in office.
- Show where every penny of the taxpayer's money they spent went on a year-to-year basis.
- Make sure that anytime they speak to a foreign leader it's recorded both on paper and video. No secret meeting what-so-ever.
- Provide proof they are abiding by all laws concerning federal records.
- As for the prez, he or she will stay away from the DOJ and the military (except in matters of national emergency.)
- Act in the interest of the taxpayers / citizens of the country and not in their own personal or business interests.
- Any violations of the above and the person in question will be removed from office.

Out of office
- Get on with your life.

Not gonna happen but wouldn't it be nice?
 
Disagree, vehemently.

The Presidency was never intended to be a popularity contest. It was to be awarded, two steps REMOVED, from popular passions.

The STATES (legislatures) were to choose Electors, who would consider the best-qualified candidate.

And the winner...was to be, not a rock star, not a King, but a competent administrator. Not Barry Hussein, but Calvin Coolidge.

Turn it into a popularity contest, one-person-one-vote, and it becomes a campaign of plunder. Who will plunder whom. The 51-percent will vote to loot the 49-percent. Who can promise the most, gets the biggest win.

It takes where we're at, and dials it up to 11.

No-pfukkin-WAY. We will never fit the government back inside the Constitutional box, if the payout is for the opposite.

Just a thought... if you quote the rhetoric you find offensive, it might help folks understand what you are referring to??

Gave you a "thanks" because I think you gave me an honest reply. That said...........if you want my vote you have to give me a reason to vote for you. Not promise me a chicken in every pot but talk to me about real issues that actually concern me and my life and come out and state exactly how you would try to better things for me if you were to be elected.

Name calling, talking crazy ain't gonna make it. Let me know what you can do for me. I don't think that's a bad thing. If more people thought this way, we would probably have way better candidates than the ones we have now. And instead of circus side shows for political campaigns we would probably have actual debates where real issues were discussed instead of the insanity that we have now.

But that's just me and I do realize it ain't gonna happen.

How about getting rid of the filibuster? Think that's a good idea?

Edited for sentence construction.

I really try to treat folks as adults and not call folks out publicly. I set a clear boundary. Don't be obtuse. You (anyone you, not specifically Casey or Goldhedge) want to play revolutionary and call for violence, that's your business - just do it somewhere else.
 
Can somebody tell me what I am doing wrong? I looked at the sample ballot for tomorrow and I cannot find Biden or Trump or even DeSeantis anywhere on my ballot. Is this stuff rigged?


oh, Divorce is expensive.
 
How about, good government? Competent administration, of the (legitimate) bureaucracy?

But then. When you have Good Government on one side, and Free Schitte on the other side...guess which one wins?

That's if the masses vote directly. And yes, although I'm all for Good Government...if we're voting to LOOT, I'm gonna vote to be a LOOTER, not a looting VICTIM.

Keeping the election of the Presidency two steps removed from the functional illiterates in the street, can focus the campaign on substance, not avarice.

That of course assumes a good State government...but if the whole of society is Idiocracy, then, nothing will save it.

No. When you make the selection process, not a job application but a popularity contest, then name-calling, false accusations and false evidence, Dirty Tricks, voter fraud, all come into play.

And it ceases to be a contest between applicants (candidates) for the job. It becomes a struggle for personal (or for puppetmasters' ) POWER...and it becomes By Any Means Necessary.

Absolutely not.

The filibuster was to be the States' last pre-legal brake on bad, illegal or reprehensible legislation. Remember, the Senate was to be the voice of the STATES. Senators were to be appointed by State Legislatures. And were to serve the State Governments' interests.

Repealing Amendment 17 would be a far better improvement.
 
I think I spotted my votes in Chicago back there......1000s of them......
 
Hey, I'm off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, in about an hour. Wracking my brain about what to wear, that doesn't make my a$$ look big... maybe I should wake the wife unit and ask her what she thinks..........
Wish me luck, I am gonna need it.




Divorce is expensive. If I can't be Queen of the House, I'm taking the ball and going home, after installing my Princess Daughter on the Throne of course.....

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero
www.zerohedge.com

The legacy news outlet has published an article titled ‘Early election night results might not indicate final tallies (and why that’s OK)’.

The piece explains how Republicans may “appear to be leading their Democratic opponents, even by large margins” in federal and statewide races, but that their leads “will dwindle, or crumble completely” after “dumps” of mail-in and absentee ballots are counted after election day, which could take “weeks”.

Why America can’t count all the votes on the night, as is done in countless other developed countries, isn’t explained.

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero
www.zerohedge.com

With help from left-wing organizations, the largest urban cities and counties in the battleground state of Pennsylvania are going all-out to help thousands of voters replace flawed ballots submitted via mail.

The Democratic Party and other left-wing organizations then leapt into action. Shoshanna Israel, a member of the Working Families Party in Philadelphia, told the Washington Post that 250 volunteers signed up for a Monday-evening phone-bank session to contact errant voters.

Other volunteers gave pizza, snacks and bottled water to voters waiting in line at City Hall that reportedly had people waiting for upwards of two hours. One activist told the Post that, at 3:45pm Monday, city officials notified some would-be re-voters that they wouldn't make it to the office before it closed. Upset voters prompted the arrival of sheriff's deputies, but there were no reports of violence...yet -- Election Day could be more boisterous.

Not all counties are trying to alert voters. "We’ve never cured ballots in Lancaster County," county commissioner Joshua G. Parsons told the Post. "It’s a questionable procedure.”
