That includes Hollywood, Disney, the like…STOP FEEDING their egos. Focus on family and friends. Be truthful in who you are but keep calm. The inaction to their poking will make them crazy and they will out themselves and overreact all the faster….stand strong out there!! I really do think people are tired of this and this time is different. We will come out the other end different but better for it. It will take sacrifice…but the fact we’ve battled back against psychological and spiritual warfare this far is pretty incredible!
Stop feeding egos and pocketbooks. Don’t go to their movies, their play lands or buy anything that caters to their disregard for you or your children. Starve the beasts.
It saddens me greatly as many hours of childhood was spent at Disneyland, less than an hour from my home. And the Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night.
I’m so sorry! It must be hard being so close to it all. Hang in there. If it helps any, I was reading a post on Twitter about a Disney worker overjoyed about the unvaxxed finally being let go. She seemed to think life would get back to “normal” now—like the unvaxxed are perpetuating this “crisis”? how angry will those people be when they realize they’ve been had and this is all about power. Truth will out but it will take patience and perseverance on our part. Maybe we can be ready to take things back! 😎
I should have worded that better. My childhood home 😸. I escaped that congested madness 18 years ago to the heavenly rural countryside of Tennessee. The Disneyland of my adulthood is the surrounding mountains, the E ticket is hiking through the wonders there. With the stunning autumn we have had, it has been like walking through a painting.
I've heard vaxxed people saying stuff like this, too. They actually buy the media narrative that the unvaxxed are the source of all their problems. Maybe somebody needs to remind them that the Germans were sucked into believing that the Jews were all diseased and the source of all their problems, as well.
That sounds suspiciously like sorrow at the loss of a great man. You may need to dig a bit deeper. Disney was more... errrm... complicated, than his public persona made us all believe. You could start with his daughter.
Hollywood...people who in many cases barely graduated from high school and who have never done anything meaningful except play act at being someone else while saying the words that someone else wrote. People who live in multi-million dollar mansions, then drive a Prius to virtue signal about their concern for the environment, people who spend $10K a night on a hotel room, and yet we lesser folk are supposed to take anything they say seriously? I laugh at them, they are mostly morons.
In addition to his better known "War of the Worlds" or "Time Machine" stories, H.G. Wells wrote several short stories, with the typical dry-as-a-popcorn-fart British humour of his age. I've just finished "The Sad Story of a Dramatic Critic" (a.k.a. "The Obliterated Man"), circa 1895. It's a tragic-comic story of a writer who gets sandbagged into a career as a theatre critic. He unwittingly adopts the fake mannerisms of the actors he sees. This eventually costs him his romance and his other social connections. Despondent, he decides the only possible career for him is the stage. But even this is denied him; his boss won't let him quit. 🙂
Everything that the left and progressives accused Donald Trump of, like narcissism authoritarianism much more they all had too much greater degree. It’s the most cosmic example of a psychological projection I’ve ever seen.
It’s like they were jealous that someone was stealing attention from them and they reacted like hysterical children and threw A collective tantrum the fallout of which could possibly bring down western civilization
Execpt that trump was a major disappointment and failure. His personality got in the way. We all only can be as sane and or rational as our personalities will allow right? I was hoping he would hold the line and veto any and all budgets, spending, increased deficits, pardon all the dissidents like assange and ulbricht and under no circunstances committ troops or bomb anyone. He did cut alot of regs but overall i think from a true conservative or libertarian perspective he was a complete failure.
I must respectfully disagree, he was not perfect and no President makes everyone happy but overall, I was happy with him. I will vote for him again in 2024 if he runs. As far as his personality, he suffered no fools and took no prisoners. He did not allow other countries to run roughshod over us. All this polite BS is overrated sometimes. I am an Independent but lean conservative.
I understand how you feel, but all the financial problems we face with the federal reserve inflation and deficits were made orders of magnitude worse when trump was in office. He rightly and harshly criticized the current swamp and his inaugural address made me cheer and this he proceeded to crank up the printing presses to a greater degree than even Obama...
I do like his "take no prisoners", and I do think he worked hard at his job.
Dig deeper re some of the things he put in motion and/or perpetuated. I thought I knew everything about him and his presidency, but I did not.
I agree with MiFly and how Trump sunk us even further into an upcoming impending economic disaster. The current administration is putting the final nails in the coffin.
I agree with you - Trump is another wing of the same bird that controls the Dems. Yes, yes, and yes.
He pandered to other interests all the time, including Israel, and did not stand up for the people, especially when it came to COVID. Do I think he would have been as bad as the Biden administration - nope, but why are we settling for the best of the worst???
I agree with MiFly - Trump's policies in 2020 set us up even more for the economic disaster that is coming. Debt, debt, and more debt plus printing of money with no backup - doomed to fail.
how quickly people forget which president gave us operation warp speed to create these wicked "vaccines" and is still urging people to get said "vaccines."
I read this and I understand why it might work and why it could be a great tactic to win hearts and minds. BUt dont you think that it could backfire b/c in a lot of people's minds trump represented a very reactionary conservative anti gov worldview. Even though in reality trump was anything but a small gov conservative. If we denigrate trump and blame him for everything doesnt that also cast , in the eyes of these clueless liberals, the entire conservative movmnet in a bad light?
What has surprised me is that many, many people seem to enjoy the elites having that status, and in fact seem to feel that some of the status accrues to themselves just by voting for and strongly supporting these elites. I was reading my neighborhood Nextdoor posts today, and a poor man objected to the fact that he was not allowed into a restaurant because he was unvaccinated. The replies used every mainstream narrative and cliché that exists to side with the restaurant, even though my city does not yet require vaccine passports. None of it made sense – it was on the level of “You have to wear a shirt and shoes too.” But underlying the replies was the unmistakable scent of a sense of superiority. I keep thinking of being on a conference call recently with some relatives as we discussed a family issue. A woman said without irony that she needed to watch the clock so that she didn’t miss Meghan Markle on TV that evening. I don’t follow the various Markle stories closely, so I’m not particularly for or against, but out of the corner of my eye she seems a bit vacuous to me, and also it seems she is beloved by certain women for marrying a super rich prince and complaining about it. I’m sure I’m getting the nuances wrong! But my relative had a flutter of excitement in her voice at the mere mention of Markle. Again, I’m not necessarily AGAINST Markle, but why the flutter in her voice? Why would one watch the clock so as not to miss Markle on TV? This is a relative who passionately believes in all the covid measures – vaccines and masks and lockdowns and contact tracing and on and on. I have seen that she just REALLY REALLY enjoys lording over me because she is vaccinated and I am not. She told me the other day that “some” believe me to be completely oblivious. SHE wore her mask outside when she was told to do so by her governor. This is all a long way of saying that I think what we are dealing with is not just an elite that exults in their elitehood, but also elite followers who exult in what they perceive as their relative eliteness over their unvaccinated inferiors. This whole debacle has given them society’s permission to unleash the snobs within themselves that they had previously kept on a leash, and for good reason.
This is it, absolutely! There is a huge portion of society that are just hangers-on to this group of elites that they worship. The boot-licking is unbearable. My younger sister, sadly, is in this group. She proudly displays on her social media whatever the woke meme of the day is, thinking it makes her "one of them." The other day, she proudly displayed a photo of herself, her husband, and my handsome, healthy young nephew, all post-booster shot. I almost cried, knowing the risk that boy was just exposed to. Baby Sis is so anxious to be part of the clique, she wouldn't think twice about risking her son's life to show how much she supports them.
Sadly but predictably, it seems every society always has a group or class that perceives itself to be far above the rest of their society. A need to feel "better than", a need to feel important? I don't know, but it seems pervasive throughout all cultures. Then these same people must feel some kind of guilt as they run around posturing as do-gooders for the less fortunate. Perhaps they all have inferiority complexes deep down. It's a curious thing.
Yes, and a new French Revolution is waiting for them. How did it work out for Marie Antoinette or Czar Nicholas II and his family? Off with their heads, night is coming fast for them, do not worry. They will eventually be defeated; in the meantime we dig our heels in and do not give an inch. Civil Disobedience all the way.
AMEN! Time to create our parallel societies. Fortunately we are a hard working, family loving, motivated group of people who WILL make this happen. I know it, I see it every day. People are waking up and joining forces with others...it is a beautiful thing to observe humanity coming together.
I read following yesterday and it ties in perfectly to what your write:
"...most global predators have no strong ideological commitments. They are strictly driven by personal ambition and the acquisition of wealth and power. They are not patriotic toward any nation. They have no religion and most are agnostics or atheists, with many identifying themselves as humanists or transhumanists. Their ethics are relativist, situational and tailored to meeting their greater goals. This vastly limits their ability to take over the world because people who lack a strongly motivating ideology also lack COURAGE and the required determination to succeed or to DIE in their effort." Peter Breggin MD
I remember several years ago remarking to my 2 teenage daughters that I would die for this country, in order to preserve it for them and for my future grandchildren. I could tell at the time, they were surprised and probably thought it was just a weird thing to say. They're a bit older now, graduated from college, and fully aware of what's being done to their country. I believe they would make the same statement themselves now.
Incredible quote and actually encouraging as I hope they do lack courage because patriots do not. I'm assuming this is from Breggin's Global Predators book, right?
Just like when Bill Clinton was asked about taking advantage of an intern: I did it because I could. no remorse, no introspection because he didn't think he did anything wrong. 🙄
You gotta hit them where it hurts. Bullies do not like to be made fun of and these people are bullies. Most are as ugly on the outside as they are on the inside. Exploit their weaknesses no matter how superficial.
Someone recently commented that their lack of concern for getting "caught" breaking the very important rules they imposed should be our first clue that they are not the least bit concerned or threatened by any of us because they know they have this in the bag. I hope that's not true.

"As of tomorrow, every citizen, every person who lives in Austria must be aware that they can be checked by the police," Nehammer told the news conference."
I don’t know how to overcome this ridiculous & outrageous restriction on the unvaccinated in Austria.
I know what would work. If everyone stopped refused to give the police their status, the system would die a death on Day 1.
Literally everyone. How about this?
“Thank you, officer, for your question. I understand it’s sincere. However I cannot comply because I sincerely believe the discrimination to be unscientific, beneath us as Austrians & profoundly evil”.
Unfortunately, massive numbers of people don't see this an intrusion, because they have complied and demand that others do as well. I was shocked at a little house party in South Dakota recently to hear someone say our state Should have locked down in the early days because we had so many more deaths than densely populated Connecticut. His data is wrong. His understanding of how viruses behave is wrong. His lack of knowledge about the fact that covid death outcomes don't differ between harsh lockdown states and light or no lockdown states, yet economic and other illnesses do differ greatly. And he lives on a farm where he would not have had to comply anyway.
Mike - If only it was that easy. Our Canadian mainstream news reported this decision by Austria as if this is completely normal and sane. No critical thinking at all. Sadly I believe that other countries will follow as they are getting desperate.
Absolutely. They LOVE it. They love flouting their own idiotic rules. They love the humiliation rituals of masks and swabbing and boostfinity for the plebs and useless eaters
The Sociopath Next Door, by Martha Stout. I read the book a while ago. It helps you understand what some of the authorities are: sociopaths. Do you think Cuomo really cared about New York's health and safety?
I've studied narcissism and dealt with narcissists. This fits right into their mentality. The thing about narcissists - once you understand them, you see the pattern immediately when it crops up in different areas.
One of my favorite observed hypocrisies was John Kerry being asked about taking a private plane to a climate conference. He basically said that flying commericial didn't work for "people like me." Oh la la, Mr. elite horse face that he is, he wouldn't think of riding with the plebes.
Careful with that fire. I just read an article that some of these fires in the last years were not natural. These same people probably started a few. I t might be a conspiracy theory, but it also might not. Many conspiracy theories have been proven to be the truth.
I've always thought a romantic afternoon would be a hot air balloon ride over the tinder dry California hills with a brazier of charcoal briquettes and a pair of tongs 😈
90 to 95% of wildfires in California are human caused. Mostly unattended campfires (this happened near me recently), but also arson in a few cases. Lightning occasionally starts a big fire. And a lot of major fires in CA have been caused by high winds and electric wires getting knocked down. Due to elite environmentalism efforts to prevent cleanups and cutting down dead trees, our forests in CA have not been managed well, so they are tinder boxes whenever a fire gets started. It's people, not climate change.
The article does not state it is. The fires in Portugal are probably caused by BigTreeFarms, that cause the fires so they can plant the trees they want, not the ones the inhabitants of these places want. Obviously eucalyptus makes a source of fuel they need. Never heard of it bfore I read this, but who knows ! I am no longer surprised to read the weirdest thing now.

Me, too! We have great memories of when Walt was in charge, though. :)
We do! I still have an old map, circa late 60s, ticket books and postcards of the Upjohn Shop.
I hear you on that KatLee!
I’m with you! Love Walt Disney…but you know they targeted his brand first because he was outwardly anti-communist. So sad!
Yes, another prime example of the Idiot Jeds at work, LOL

comparing them to these people seems unjust to the reptile.
You are indeed correct. Reptiles rock!

become self sufficient, self governing, and disinterested in them and theirs.
build back without them."
Yes!! Now you've got it!
Ignore them, that is what they hate the most. Silence and to be ignored.

Yes, but it has to be mostly everyone and that is a tough target to achieve.

Careful with that fire. I just read an article that some of these fires in the last years were not natural. These same people probably started a few. I t might be a conspiracy theory, but it also might not. Many conspiracy theories have been proven to be the truth.

the chapter on the fires in Portugal sounds true to me
I've always thought a romantic afternoon would be a hot air balloon ride over the tinder dry California hills with a brazier of charcoal briquettes and a pair of tongs 😈
Long as we can laugh we are good
90 to 95% of wildfires in California are human caused. Mostly unattended campfires (this happened near me recently), but also arson in a few cases. Lightning occasionally starts a big fire. And a lot of major fires in CA have been caused by high winds and electric wires getting knocked down. Due to elite environmentalism efforts to prevent cleanups and cutting down dead trees, our forests in CA have not been managed well, so they are tinder boxes whenever a fire gets started. It's people, not climate change.
The article does not state it is. The fires in Portugal are probably caused by BigTreeFarms, that cause the fires so they can plant the trees they want, not the ones the inhabitants of these places want. Obviously eucalyptus makes a source of fuel they need. Never heard of it bfore I read this, but who knows ! I am no longer surprised to read the weirdest thing now.
