As a firearm owning Canadian, we in the community know this has nothing to do with safety and is a political attack on his opposition.
The "Liberal" party of Canada has teamed up with the NDP to make this all happen.
They don't care about the data regarding firearms, they know their voting base is completely ignorant of our firearm laws and so they're just leveraging that ignorance for political points.
Worst part is there is nothing we can do. We can't vote them out (they have a majority).
Im canadian. Guns are not my thing but I agree. 100% political. Canada is a horror show. Trudeau is exploiting a tragedy in the US for his own grandstanding photo app, so to speak. Crimes, mostly gangs, are committed are with firearms illegally smuggled in from the states, not guns from legal ownership by private citizens He is such a vile human being.
It’s because Canada is next door to the US. THE WEF, the CCP, and progressive leftist globalists in the US all see America Firsters as the greatest threat to their plans. They have to degrade the Five Eyes and they are certainly doing that, but the US northern border, southern border, and West Coast are being systematically softened for invasion in case the Brandon Regime can’t quell the MAGA movement.
I'd suggest that part of that plan is utilizing the Brandon Regime as a Vichy style government, where the CCP/WEF is the benefactor and the non compliant people are the enemy.
Laws written by corrupt governments are not tolerable. Every form of evil empire (the Soviets, the Nazis, the Khmer rouge, the People Republic, etc) all had "laws" which justified immeasurable casualties of it's citizens and which gave incredible power to it's tyrants.
I’ve thought the same! And I’m literally on the West Coast, 2 blocks from the ocean. Growing up in SF (not in SF now) the forts and turrets are still on the coast in case of an invasion in the 1940’s. Unfortunately, I’m surrounded by libtards that have their heads up their asses.
Canada, Australia and New Zealand are the globalists' "trial run" on dismantling Western democracies. They are preparing the strategies they will use in the US and Europe.
If I were a Dipper I would be pi***d that my leader had been replaced by Trudeau. Why bother with Singh’s party leader salary when he is nothing more than a Commons’ yes-man bench warmer. How embarrassing. Where is integrity?
Watch the Ontario election tonight to see how the NDP does. Certain NDP strong holds i.e. Brampton are projected to loose to the Conservatives. Even Jagmeets brother's riding was considered a "toss-up" yesterday. His brother. You don't get much more name recognition then "I'm the brother of the Federal party leader" and he might loose.
A lot of NDP voters I know are VERY pissed off right now.
I hear so many complaining that "they want to take my guns, and I won't be able to defend myself against a rogue government", but ALL governments have gone rogue a long time ago and all those guns did nothing, they are only being fired for robberies or fun, in specially designated (by the same rogue government) places.
It looks like all the sharp shooters in the world have been employed by the WEF and the only ones knowing how to actually use a gun to protect themselves are employed by your rogue governments.
There is nothing you can do ? Of course there is; stay in your empty pods, watch cnn, chew bugs, get injected and die, while watching your children being "fresh drag queens" for your owners' pleasure.
Stop lying to yourselves, it is time for most of us to die. The only question is how, and how many enemies each of us will take out in the process.
Bingo. Bingo, bingo, bingo. I remember having an argument with a “gun collector” about compliance. He said “oh, you have to comply, they *want* you to not comply.” I said “what is the point of your firearms if all you ever do is hand them in when ordered to? Where do you draw the line?” He had no answer. The right is personal and individual, and so is the responsibility. Personal, and individual. No one is going to ‘give the order’. It’s up to each of us.
Great comment but I will add this too: we have politicians completely out of touch with those they're supposed to serve. Out of touch because they only serve themselves, not much interest in serving the nation. Maybe not every single politician, but too many. They rule by opinion poll. Right now, their support comes from the 'ban the gun' urbanites so that's what they do.
It's difficult to vote these people out and it would be difficult to get them out any other way that a few below have implied because the real difficulty is persuading our neighbours to change their opinion. The guy that wants to stay home and receive UBI will vote for the party that promises to do that and will ignore the harm that that way of life will cause. The person who wears 3 masks driving alone in their car will vote for the party that promises harsher control and ignore the harm that that will cause.
The problem is not so much our politicians as it is our neighbours.
Yes, a big problem. Uninformed voters. Should there be a political means test at the entrance to the polling stations? I have a list of great questions 🤣
But, interestingly, in the popular vote in the 2021 election, 39% of Canadians voted Conservative (34% CPC and 5% PPC). Alas, 34% voted Liberal, 18% NDP and 7% the non-national Bloc party.
I would love to see a voting system based on policies with the actual candidates blinded. I would also love to see politicians held accountable when they mess up.
THEY ARE KILLING US NOW, and you are ranting about voting and persuading ?!?
We are at WAR, this is not a movie, this is real, no sperman will save us, no spider webs will ease our fall, no green moron will kick our enemies' arses for us, WE have to do it.
They are poisoning us by force, they are stealing our air, water, food, energy, they are stealing our time with their fake promissory notes worth less than one of the crickets we are supposed to have for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we are being under constant and deadly attack from all sides, and you sing "kumbaya" ?!
Say you are a coward and you'll rather hide behind words like "moral", "peaceful" "petition" "election" "discussion" which at this moment are nothing else but empty constructs, say you are afraid to take a risk or even die, say "slavery can't be that bad after all we will get used to it, after all, we have never been really free", or say you are a paid shill for the gang of criminals, trying to do your job - deflect the discussion - and nobody will lynch you.
Yet, but hopefully later...
We are the only side still playing by the rules, the other side has none, never had any.
Every one must break the spell. Become U N G O V E R N A B L E.
Nobody is alone, we are only disorganised and unfocused, we need to work on these and the win will be easy. Well, sort of, of course many will die, only because it is so late.
Nothing personal, but I lose it when I read nonsense...
You are right Jeff but running head first towards a freight train won't stop it. Action must be done right otherwise failure ensues. Hernan Cortes is one of my exemplars. He conquered the Aztec empire with a crew of 650 men, some horses and some guns. I remember reading that the Aztec population was up to 20 million a the time. I'm not an historian by any means but I think he was successful because there were important circumstances in his favour, e.g., the Aztec people were completely fed up with their ruling class.
I feel right now, we, the unvaxxed, are in the small minority, like Cortes. We really need circumstances to be in our favour and I believe that is happening.
But remember, we can't fight evil by becoming evil. That won't work.
Hernan Cortes won because the Aztecs thought he is Quetzalcoatl, they fooled themselves.
The Conquistadors did nothing smart, they just butchered everyone that didn't agree with them.
The Vietnamese on the other hand, beat the Americans with holes in the ground. The Taliban are happy and super wealthy because they know their mountains so well, and used this knowledge wisely. And because the Americans didn't pay attention and lost control of their country to a horde of rabid baboons who dumped their toys, scratched their arses and ordered retreat.
We don't need a big army, small groups of even 2-3, trained in guerrilla warfare. Pick your target, and boom. Ghost yourselves for a while, then next.
Of course everyone will be scared shitless, everyone involved in a war is, and how we will get over it and take full responsibility for our lives and actions is up to each of us, it's a very personal matter.
We ran out of time, they have the upper ground, and we need to change that by ANY means, if we want to stay alive.
Wow, this is what I love about substack. Great, powerful writing.
But ... ummm ... a little ad-hominem-y there, Jeff. Don't you think we need to cut each other some slack? We who are on the red-pilly side are all convicted - yet conflicted, confused, angry, frustrated, fearful, feeling powerless. And each who falls in that category is doing what s/he can to push back the darkness with whatever skills and hope they may have. In our province it means potentially preventing the governmental ugliness from becoming uglier A stopgap measure, to be sure, but one works for, hopes for, prays for a breakthrough of common sense - and attempts to put a finger in the ever ballooning dike. Let us seek to lift each other up, not tear each other down.
Some are natural leaders; some are followers. God bless the red-pilled followers who desperately wait for the rally cry. We were there supporting truckers in all the ways we could. We don't know what the other has done, what they have endured in their quest for genuine freedoms in this nation - job loss, breakup of families, health woes. I know this is hard and we want to lash out somewhere, somehow at the monstrous insults to our dignity and our freedom, but we need to check our judgments of others who, too, are fighting the good fight in whatever way they can. God bless our nation of Canada
I know. I did say I lose it sometimes, who doesn't...
We don't have much time for exchanging ideas, the cabal is eyeing the internet for awhile now, Not everyone needs to know how to operate a proper communications base, but everyone of us needs to know how to get to one. We need to show some fangs and claws, people.
And we need to get to terms with the idea that we are fighting for those we care for, if we make-it to the end alive, that's just a bonus.
Great Big Sigh, yes. And there are stages to red-pilling, just as there are stages of grief. In Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral, the archbishop stated (referring to the chorus of women who lamented the dire events surrounding them), “Mankind cannot bear very much reality.” Indeed, so it goes with us now, and to be remembered is that many were already (and are) suffering heavy personal crosses. But, yes, we must inexorably inch towards acceptance of reality as best as each can. Lord have mercy. Strengthen us.
Absolutely! I cringe when I read articles and comments that attempt to portray "conservatives" as potential saviors. All that means is the authors are completely taken in by the grand illusion of the 2-party system, one composed of good guys and the other composed of bad guys. There are no good guys, not a single one. Not until we wake up to the reality that we are continually being deceived into believing that voting matters, that we have a voice in our government, that all we need is some principled politician to swoop in and drain the swamp, will we ever be able to dismantle the sham that is government and start over, or find a way to divorce ourselves from the system and live on our own.
The NWO/WEF makes sure he gets elected. In 2019, I thought for sure he would loose. That's when the blackface issue came out, media couldn't hide it. But, what happened? Obama to the rescue! He gave a nice little speech about how that really wasn't racist and that JT is really a good guy. Greta also put in an appearance. That's when she literally sailed into Canada and preached climate change while visiting a glacier in Alberta in the middle of an October blizzard. An October blizzard is early even by Canadian weather standards! And of course, the paid for media gave precious little coverage to the conservative candidate (Andrew Scheer). And so JT won again. I have still to be convinced that Dominion is even necessary in Canada.
Yes, how true. And for those of us who write their politicians regularly, we know they have, for the most part, become bobbleheady critters.
When I was raising my children, I used a parenting technique that was alleged to offer children a certain amount of power and autonomy: Give them three choices - all of them yours! It worked for quite a while until they figured it out 😁 and said, “None of the above.” And now many suspect the same applies to political parties, and especially in Canada where there are many official political parties: Give them six or seven choices - all of them yours.
And observing more potential manipulation, we saw effective conservative vote-splitting in the last federal election, where 25 ridings were affected, changing the outcome, giving the nod once again to JT. And we may see it June 2 in Ontario where there is not just one, but three “conservative” parties, splitting conservative vote three ways. Since our voting system is first-past-the-post, this might significantly change the outcome of key rural-ish ridings and leave us with a liberal/ndp coalition 😱😱😱 I pray I am SO wrong.
My ideal outcome would be Conservative minority propped by the the 2 new parties. Yes, vote splitting is a problem but it's one that the conservatives have brought upon themselves. Ford has been a disappointment.
Neither True Blue or Ontario Party can hope to win a single riding, except maybe for Brenda and Jim (and esp since they are further splitting the vote), so they will never prop up a "conservative minority." Ford a disappointment, absolutely, but a lib/dip coalition would be disastrous - and it is very real. I held my nose with a dozen clothespins and voted prov conserv - lesser of the evils. And given the vote splitting that affected the 2021 federal election, I believe we need to vote strategically. Further, I believe that on some level those two parties were created to split the vote three ways and produce the lib/dip coalition. But nobody listens.
We don't really need Dominion in Canada. Trudeau is good at buying votes: rule by opinion poll. That said, I've heard anecdotes of suspicious vote counting.
To my knowledge so far they have been used spottily in municipal elections, once partially in a provincial election, and in major party (Liberal, Conservative) leadership elections. More recently they were used in the Ontario conservative party leadership election (Doug Ford was chosen), and the Federal conservative party leadership election (Erin O’Toole was selected). In both of these leadership elections there was a 7 hour delay in the count. Since these are ranked ballot elections there should have been no delay. It was blamed on mechanical glitches. It will be interesting to discover if DVS will be used in the upcoming federal conservative leadership election in September.
I've been looking at this too. Problem is (and the online personalities I watch/read agree) that the entire world has gone Marxist. It's only a matter of relatively less severe at the moment. Keeping a low profile seems to be a consensus recommendation and diversifying your assets internationally too. I heard someone say that you shouldn't live anywhere in 'permanent' mode at the moment and be ready to pickup and go elsewhere fairly quickly. Having a 2nd passport seems to be a recommendation, even if we can't leave Dodge at the moment.
parts of Europe that are off the beaten track, but who knows. I am in such a place and it feels a little separated from the fracas, but that is mostly illusion I suppose
I think as long as you can keep a low profile and don't have much interaction with any kind of officials, you're OK, at least for the foreseeable future.
Democracy is the problem. The only sane system is one in which no law which seriously imposes on people can be passed without near-unanimity. Otherwise, you have the tyranny of the majority or plurality like we do now.
"Leveraging ignorance for political points" - isn't that pretty much the job description of most politicians? "Wanted: federal legislator - must be proficient at leveraging the ignorance of the populace for political points."
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one.”
There were quite a few. Some police who were setting up a picnoc on the schoolhouse lawn stopped them, cuffed and tazed them. Musta run across the grass on the way to the propped open side door into the school.
They were the cream that rose to the top of the Enlightenment.
Normally an oxymoron, they were both utopian and pragmatic. They created a republic that was the greatest engine of liberty, both personal and economic, in the history of the world.
It was so successful that Americans forgot the source of their freedom and wealth, and became rich enough to allow themselves to be taken in by leftist mountebanks and grifters promoting State power, for the Common Good™, don't you know, which like many parasites, has grown to the point where it is sucking the host dry.
We need to reanimate our nation.
Separate the State from money. Separate the State from the economy. Separate the Separate the State from morality. Separate the State from education.
"We need to reanimate our nation". That brings it to life. Good choice of words.
Yes. The problem is we have mostly "stick-figures" as fellow citizens. Pretty hard to reanimate those with only four articulating joints and zero executive functioning of the frontal lobe.
Maybe shit has to get really bad so that the stick figures can figure out they are being moved to and fro by the ultimate puppet master: The State
Their classical education is what allowed them to use their experience and intelligence toward the goals they achieved. And their exceptionally civil upbringing tempered their passions allowing productive discourse.
Virtually all of them were polymaths. I believe this to be the "secret sauce" that led to a well thought out constitution and system of governance. That and furious debating surrounding a common goal.
They had a much wider aperture than the "one trick pony" soothsayers we've witnessed of late.
I did a little research and discovered this statement was not made by Thomas Jefferson but was rather a quote by Cesare Beccaria that Jefferson recorded in his “Legal Commonplace Book.” The original is in Italian, and the quote above is believed to be from a 1963 translation by Henry Palolucci:
Pity we have so devolved from the wisdom of the past. Quite well explains the founders ideas about "carrying of arms". We might ask how we have been so mislead over time.
I have been posting this a lot lately, but it really explains it:
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
(G. Michael Hopf, Those Who Remain)
We're on #4. It will swing to #1. In between, therein lies pain.
Notice that just yesterday the Parliament voted to keep all airport restrictions, including the banning of "unjabbed" citizens in airplanes departing Canada. This, is a vendetta. This is JT's way of "sticking it to the trucker". This guy is sick, seriously. And, slowly but surely, hard men will be forged out of this.
AND WOMEN! Behind every good man, is a good woman! Women take care of men, children and nurture. Many of us also FIGHT like psychos when our “nest” is compromised! Rule of thumb: don’t f**k with a “crazy” woman. You’ll lose.
Never truer words. My wife would claw someone's face off if they messed with our kids. It's quite remarkable...and scary. Pity the fool who messes with the nest.
The other day I had to have lunch in a McDonalds because it was too late to go any other place. There was a table, right next to me in which four teenagers were having lunch. They were extremely obnoxious and, when they left, they left all the area absolutely covered by litter.
A few minutes afterwards, a lady came to clean up the mess. It took her over 10 minutes. I couldn't help myself, but had to ask her if all the rubbish was due to the four teenagers. She confirmed it and told me that, these same four teenagers went each Friday afternoon to the restaurant with the same result. Another customer told me that, before I arrived, an old-lady that was seated were I was had had to leave, because one of the teenagers threw an eaten chicken wing that hit her (I saw it on the floor under my table).
The owners of the restaurant have to accept the situation because there is no longer the right to deny service to anyone. They know that their other customers are annoyed, and it is costing them money, but there is nothing they can do.
This is the kind of society we live in. We need to change it. It has become absolutely obvious that our governments are no longer interested in providing the services that they are supposed to provide. They make us poorer and our life more miserable, sometimes enriching cronies in the process, but most of the time just destroying wealth and happiness with no purpose.
“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”
I'm at the brink, just teared up. I fear it will to come down to this, when times are hard enough to create strong men. Right now, keep moving with the job, provide for hard times, keep the family life lively. I'm man of faith, so "nothing shall I wont".
Couldn't agree with you more. I think JT is still feeling a little bit hurt when the European gathering he attended showed their displeasure about his handling of the Freedom Convoy. We are becoming the laughing stock of the world. Italy just dropped all their travel mandates. These days I identify more with the poor creatures we keep in our zoos. Pacing back and forth in a confined space with no escape or release in sight.
Let me put “weak men” in terms most will understand. Sometime in August in BC, premier Horgan and health sidekick Bonnie appear on cable news (which I cut, btw. No more cable here) talking about “vaccine mandates”. I was livid. But things were unclear, then. I’m a post-secondary instructor, and some time after that announcement, we got the Post-Secondary Ministry memo that colleges and universities could do as they saw fit, by email. I replied to the department: “from we’re all in this together, 2 weeks to flatten the curve to ‘show me your papers’. Don’t support the medical apartheid”. And I got a reply: “but it’s good public health policy!”. There, “weak men”.
And, for the record, I am using "men" (or, better, using the original quote) in the sense that used to have in this context: "peoplekind" (as his highness the pharaoh JT uttered)
Good analogy. I take it further. Weak men somehow still cling to power. For me our health minister was a bit of a stretch. I'm old enough to remember The Glen Clark scandal and his involvement.
Omg…I’m 58 and I see the “men” now…absolutely pathetic. And he’s going to protect ME? I’ll take chances on my own. Thanks but no thanks. My bf and I were in Portland before the bs years ago, and I couldn’t tell the straight males from the gay ones. And I think they were all STRAIGHT! Women today don’t even know what a real man is!
The campaign against masculinity began decades ago. It has been very effective. Nowadays people who look like me—W/M—and who exhibit any of the traits once respected as properly manly are called “toxic” in our toxic popular culture.
Manhood has taken one hell of a beating in my lifetime. Men are demoralized because the Plan has long been to demoralize them.
A “man” wearing skinny jeans and having no balls is a crime to me…and it should to his wife. Who marries these beta males???? The woman always takes charge. I want a MAN TO TAKE CHARGE! Because I’m a woman and I love strong men!
I've worked in a country town for 14 years. I know all too well what real men are now! Having spent the first 27 years of my life in Sydney, I look back and wonder why I didn't puke at the sight of all those men in tight, shiny suits and pointy shoes! Guess I was young and stupid, eh?
I have to say I really like that my hubby can use not just his muscles but his brain to do all the fencing, fix things around the property & inside the house, shoot foxes & rabbits - but still read a story to the kidlets come bedtime :-) Yes, he's a country boy, and he's even going to build our new house shortly. I feel very lucky to have nabbed such a great guy :-) The best thing is that he LIKES doing all this stuff!
So there you go Renee, I used to not know what a real guy was, but I have come to learn what a real man is. Maybe others have also come down this path.
YOU ARE EXTREMELY BLESSED! I grew up with men like this! And believe it or not, I grew up in San Fransicko! All the guys I grew up with were real men. All were blue collar workers, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc. We’d all go camping in the middle of nowhere and had such a great time. I graduated in 1981, so this was decades ago…years of great memories! I myself have hunted once…a 22lb. turkey-lol! I SEE the difference in men today, and it’s not cool.
Most of them are probably too worried about being hit for a sexual harassment claim, ha ha
Maybe women have gotten too touchy as well, who knows...
But those 'SNAGs'? Men just aren't naturally that sensitive (yes, I'm generalising here!), and if I was with a guy who was as emotional as me, I'd leave him!
But I think if we all got on with things, called a spade a spade, and were more realistic, we'd be living in a very different world. In many ways, I think the country men have it right, because those attributes I just mentioned are typically male rather than female: but then men are called sexist pigs or insensitive jerks for saying how it really is. Maybe women need to grow a thicker skin and men just need to stop being assholes sometimes. There's room for improvement on both sides if you ask me.
But yeah, still prefer a country boy to a city boy any day!
And yet the political class on the left repeatedly keep saying “why you so angry?” At protestors. Our next federal election is 2025 and Americans have no idea how angry we are under the surface we show to visitors
I am a very angry Canadian and am fed up to the teeth with our current government. Still can't leave this godforsaken country since I chose to stay unvaccinated.
Many of us have considered fleeing to the States, but we fear it will be no different there in a couple of years. Is running away always the answer? At some point, don't we have to stand up and say, "Enough! This is MY country and I want it back!"?
How can we get our country back when they CHEAT, LIE AND MURDER their way into office? We have NO election integrity… Here in Alabama, governor memaw Kaye Ivey just supposedly won the republican nomination… I didn’t know a single person that voted for her Ms. Rino in chief… 🔥🔥🔥.
We're not allowed on planes, trains, or public transit. When crossing land borders to the States, you may get asked if you're vaxxed and they may force you to turn around and go home if you aren't. We have heard of people getting across the border unvaxxed, and also of people being turned away. It's hit or miss.
Can you picture yourself with all your friends, family and loved ones? Take a mental picture.
Then picture all the clothes, furniture, belongings, etc, you need to start a new life in another country.
Realize you will never be legal there because you do not have citizenship. You might not be able to open a bank account or transfer your money, get a license, etc.
Despite the fact their government is letting millions in the south illegally and handing them asylum, giving them 500k as “payment” for their illegal activity, helping them get ID cards, NOT testing for covid. But those from the north, from a country that is your nearest democratic (???) sister. No.
He is on the Globalists side of course. The side that wants to depopulate the planet. The Globalists need to disarm the people for total control. We know what happens when guns are confiscated. People die. Lots and lots of people. Tyranny! The genocidal agenda for the New World Order Madness.
every day it seems there is some additional obscenity, infringement, transgression. every day new heights of hypocrisy are attained. someone made the point that Trudeau is surrounded by armed security 365/24/7 and he has the gall to tell others they cant have firearms.
It is quite clear that all this is completely intentional at this point.
Most or all of us are aware of how government creates problems, then "works" on a "plan" to solve them, then ends up making the problem worse while creating new problems for them to "work" to "solve".
Add to this that Castro Jr. is a WEF kindergarten graduate and Klause Kritter™, and along with the rest of the "leadership" of the formerly free world wants to Build Back Better™, which of course requires ruins to "build back", and the incentives become rather clear.
But they now have the capstone to finally complete the totalitarian arch over us all: an utterly depraved, supine, credulous, ignorant population that a century of progressive government propaganda, "education", divide and conquer tactics, bread, circuses and other shiny objects have bamboozled at least a plurality, and in many cases a majority, of the capite censi into voting for their own enslavement and impoverishment.
They have literally reversed the enlightenment for hundreds of millions of people, returning them to a state of superstition and fear.
I am at a real loss as to how to come back from this and get our civilization back, but we need to sort it out.
“ Add to this that Castro Jr. is a WEF kindergarten graduate and Klause Kritter™, and along with the rest of the "leadership" of the formerly free world wants to Build Back Better™, which of course requires ruins to "build back", and the incentives become rather clear.”
Under Diocletian Romans were fleeing into barbarian lands, willing to be stripped of everything but their clothes in order to escape the corruption, continuous currency debasement and onerous taxation.
At the end, many Romans welcomed the invaders as liberators.
"A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within."
"government creates problems, then "works" on a "plan" to solve them, then ends up making the problem worse while creating new problems for them to "work" to "solve". - BINGO
I agree! I’m a retired deputy sheriff of 23 years. I’ll stand with my fellow Americans before ANY civil service sheep. And what the sheep don’t realize is, you are a “useful idiot” (Lenin) you’ll be next! We’re repeating history in real time. Read “GULAG ARCHIPELAGO” by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. I see what the government does…I’m not interested. In fact, I’m “scared”.
We can all probably name several. Those who will show up, invited to their own arrests or executions, dressed in Sunday finest, with a suitcase, relieved that they are still in the cool kids' club, as their friends have already been arrested or shot in the head. And for the first time in my life, perhaps as you, I'm actually "afraid" of something. Americans have conceded, given up in favor of pot and porn. Solzhenitsyn and others have been warning us for over fifty years. The real Yuri Bezmenov advised in 1984 that we have nowhere to defect.
We need, at least in America, to stop calling these people "leaders" - they are not leaders, they are (or are supposed to be) representatives, public "servants." In these cities like San Francisco and Chicago, I do believe those holding public office actually represent the inanity of thought that comes from those who vote for them. That these people continue to be elected reveals either a corruption in the election system or the depravity of their constituents.
I retired from San Fransicko last March. Everyone in that city is insane. SF was never like this. It was a beautiful, law and order city. It was full of families and children. It was affordable with nightlife and great restaurants. What changed? I think the Tech Industry changed it immensely. Also, transplants from EVERYWHERE changed the whole dynamic. Now, it’s been taken over by Progressives that are all on the take who are selfish and apathetic. And it’s happening everywhere-now!
As a Canadian I am grateful for this post. While I was aware of this recent legislation which I am sure will be passed I was unaware of the move to reduce prison time for offenses that are gun related. Racism! Seriously our prime Minister is crazier than a loon. If not for your post today I would not have known about this part of this juicy woke tale. Certainly haven't seen anything about the reduced sentences for said crimes from our media. It's possible I have missed any reports about this, as I am on a 4 month sabbatical in our trailer which means no TV which is a blessing and at times, limited wifi. Am using my limited data right now to post my comment. Worth every penny.
Worlds so called leaders are actors performing in One Giant Scripted PSYOP
" We are NOW 2 years into a 5-year plan for the TOTAL DESTRUCTION of the SOCIETY using Global Plandemics, Wars, Economic Collapse, and FOOD SHORTAGES." :
ON some level I suspect that these people know they are baiting people. I mean how much vindictiveness, hypocrisy, craven lying, cant, evil... do they think we can take. Those of us who understand the tragic dimension of life; who hold the constrained vision and have not deemed ourselves the anointed concern ourselves with building our private lives. We have families, careers , friends, hobbies. We seek growth and joy. We are relational and voluntary in our dealings with others. These others, Like Trudeau have none of this. They are emotionally and spiritually bankrupt and know it. THey seek to destroy and dominate. The fact that you and I have joyous private lives drives them crazy. How long will it be until some of us get fed up and defend ourselves against these monstrous incursions into our liberty. Our defense will be deemed "terrorism" .
THe scottish author Ian Banks wrote a series of novels called the "culture" novels that explored ideas like this. Power used for good and bad. The exploitation of technology to increase power...
No matter how one feels about mandatory minimums, gun ownership, and the potential for or existence of racism in the judicial system, this is internally inconsistent to the point of being a satire piece. Outlaw guns but then loosen/eliminate penalties for committing gun related violence? One gun death is too many, which is why we're going to make the penalties for gun violence more lenient?
I'm starting to feel like the world I used to live in collided with a bad SNL sketch.
SAID SORRY TOO OFTEN jars are all now holding pickles in Canuckistan. SWEAR jars overflowing with loonies and toonies line our kitchen counters. We have learned that the eff word can be a noun, verb, adjective and adverb and can actually fit into one sentence as long as dear leader’s name is in the same sentence. Canadians who had never uttered “darn” prior to 2020 have discovered, to their shock, the joy of a well-placed, stress-relieving fuddle duddle. Confessors just laugh and nod. 🤣
And especially poignant standing on 401 bridges when it was -85C, whilst all truckers honked in solidarity, and flag 🇨🇦 wavers felt like a band of brothers. May that spirit live. What unites us is not piously-intoned “diversity” uttered by pm actor, but love for our freedom and rights.
As a firearm owning Canadian, we in the community know this has nothing to do with safety and is a political attack on his opposition.
The "Liberal" party of Canada has teamed up with the NDP to make this all happen.
They don't care about the data regarding firearms, they know their voting base is completely ignorant of our firearm laws and so they're just leveraging that ignorance for political points.
Worst part is there is nothing we can do. We can't vote them out (they have a majority).
Im canadian. Guns are not my thing but I agree. 100% political. Canada is a horror show. Trudeau is exploiting a tragedy in the US for his own grandstanding photo app, so to speak. Crimes, mostly gangs, are committed are with firearms illegally smuggled in from the states, not guns from legal ownership by private citizens He is such a vile human being.
Not "nothing". Note your opening clause.
Maybe your penultimate sentence should end with "...yet."
Maybe you meant “final” rather than “penultimate”.
No, I wasn’t thinking of *voting* them out. The second-to-last sentence is where “yet” applies, IMO.
“If it cannot go on forever, it won’t.”
It’s because Canada is next door to the US. THE WEF, the CCP, and progressive leftist globalists in the US all see America Firsters as the greatest threat to their plans. They have to degrade the Five Eyes and they are certainly doing that, but the US northern border, southern border, and West Coast are being systematically softened for invasion in case the Brandon Regime can’t quell the MAGA movement.
That’s my take, anyway.
Agreed, there is a bigger plan afoot.
I'd suggest that part of that plan is utilizing the Brandon Regime as a Vichy style government, where the CCP/WEF is the benefactor and the non compliant people are the enemy.
Laws written by corrupt governments are not tolerable. Every form of evil empire (the Soviets, the Nazis, the Khmer rouge, the People Republic, etc) all had "laws" which justified immeasurable casualties of it's citizens and which gave incredible power to it's tyrants.
Our enemies mean business. We’ve got some ugly times ahead.
I’ve thought the same! And I’m literally on the West Coast, 2 blocks from the ocean. Growing up in SF (not in SF now) the forts and turrets are still on the coast in case of an invasion in the 1940’s. Unfortunately, I’m surrounded by libtards that have their heads up their asses.
Canada, Australia and New Zealand are the globalists' "trial run" on dismantling Western democracies. They are preparing the strategies they will use in the US and Europe.
And a very perceptive one too.
If I were a Dipper I would be pi***d that my leader had been replaced by Trudeau. Why bother with Singh’s party leader salary when he is nothing more than a Commons’ yes-man bench warmer. How embarrassing. Where is integrity?
Watch the Ontario election tonight to see how the NDP does. Certain NDP strong holds i.e. Brampton are projected to loose to the Conservatives. Even Jagmeets brother's riding was considered a "toss-up" yesterday. His brother. You don't get much more name recognition then "I'm the brother of the Federal party leader" and he might loose.
A lot of NDP voters I know are VERY pissed off right now.
☕
There is nothing you can do...
What is the point of owning guns, then ?
I hear so many complaining that "they want to take my guns, and I won't be able to defend myself against a rogue government", but ALL governments have gone rogue a long time ago and all those guns did nothing, they are only being fired for robberies or fun, in specially designated (by the same rogue government) places.
It looks like all the sharp shooters in the world have been employed by the WEF and the only ones knowing how to actually use a gun to protect themselves are employed by your rogue governments.
There is nothing you can do ? Of course there is; stay in your empty pods, watch cnn, chew bugs, get injected and die, while watching your children being "fresh drag queens" for your owners' pleasure.
Stop lying to yourselves, it is time for most of us to die. The only question is how, and how many enemies each of us will take out in the process.
Who’s your Huckleberry? Just say when. If you think I’m going out as a slave to these psychopaths after working my ass off for 40 years…HELL NO!
Bingo. Bingo, bingo, bingo. I remember having an argument with a “gun collector” about compliance. He said “oh, you have to comply, they *want* you to not comply.” I said “what is the point of your firearms if all you ever do is hand them in when ordered to? Where do you draw the line?” He had no answer. The right is personal and individual, and so is the responsibility. Personal, and individual. No one is going to ‘give the order’. It’s up to each of us.
Great comment but I will add this too: we have politicians completely out of touch with those they're supposed to serve. Out of touch because they only serve themselves, not much interest in serving the nation. Maybe not every single politician, but too many. They rule by opinion poll. Right now, their support comes from the 'ban the gun' urbanites so that's what they do.
It's difficult to vote these people out and it would be difficult to get them out any other way that a few below have implied because the real difficulty is persuading our neighbours to change their opinion. The guy that wants to stay home and receive UBI will vote for the party that promises to do that and will ignore the harm that that way of life will cause. The person who wears 3 masks driving alone in their car will vote for the party that promises harsher control and ignore the harm that that will cause.
The problem is not so much our politicians as it is our neighbours.
it's 100% the citizens. Which is far scarier.
Yes, a big problem. Uninformed voters. Should there be a political means test at the entrance to the polling stations? I have a list of great questions 🤣
But, interestingly, in the popular vote in the 2021 election, 39% of Canadians voted Conservative (34% CPC and 5% PPC). Alas, 34% voted Liberal, 18% NDP and 7% the non-national Bloc party.
I would love to see a voting system based on policies with the actual candidates blinded. I would also love to see politicians held accountable when they mess up.
♨
You won't like this one.
Excuse me, on what planet do you live on ?
THEY ARE KILLING US NOW, and you are ranting about voting and persuading ?!?
We are at WAR, this is not a movie, this is real, no sperman will save us, no spider webs will ease our fall, no green moron will kick our enemies' arses for us, WE have to do it.
They are poisoning us by force, they are stealing our air, water, food, energy, they are stealing our time with their fake promissory notes worth less than one of the crickets we are supposed to have for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we are being under constant and deadly attack from all sides, and you sing "kumbaya" ?!
Say you are a coward and you'll rather hide behind words like "moral", "peaceful" "petition" "election" "discussion" which at this moment are nothing else but empty constructs, say you are afraid to take a risk or even die, say "slavery can't be that bad after all we will get used to it, after all, we have never been really free", or say you are a paid shill for the gang of criminals, trying to do your job - deflect the discussion - and nobody will lynch you.
Yet, but hopefully later...
We are the only side still playing by the rules, the other side has none, never had any.
Every one must break the spell. Become U N G O V E R N A B L E.
Nobody is alone, we are only disorganised and unfocused, we need to work on these and the win will be easy. Well, sort of, of course many will die, only because it is so late.
Nothing personal, but I lose it when I read nonsense...
You are right Jeff but running head first towards a freight train won't stop it. Action must be done right otherwise failure ensues. Hernan Cortes is one of my exemplars. He conquered the Aztec empire with a crew of 650 men, some horses and some guns. I remember reading that the Aztec population was up to 20 million a the time. I'm not an historian by any means but I think he was successful because there were important circumstances in his favour, e.g., the Aztec people were completely fed up with their ruling class.
I feel right now, we, the unvaxxed, are in the small minority, like Cortes. We really need circumstances to be in our favour and I believe that is happening.
But remember, we can't fight evil by becoming evil. That won't work.
✉
We are in minority, indeed.
Hernan Cortes won because the Aztecs thought he is Quetzalcoatl, they fooled themselves.
The Conquistadors did nothing smart, they just butchered everyone that didn't agree with them.
The Vietnamese on the other hand, beat the Americans with holes in the ground. The Taliban are happy and super wealthy because they know their mountains so well, and used this knowledge wisely. And because the Americans didn't pay attention and lost control of their country to a horde of rabid baboons who dumped their toys, scratched their arses and ordered retreat.
We don't need a big army, small groups of even 2-3, trained in guerrilla warfare. Pick your target, and boom. Ghost yourselves for a while, then next.
Of course everyone will be scared shitless, everyone involved in a war is, and how we will get over it and take full responsibility for our lives and actions is up to each of us, it's a very personal matter.
We ran out of time, they have the upper ground, and we need to change that by ANY means, if we want to stay alive.
Wow, this is what I love about substack. Great, powerful writing.
But ... ummm ... a little ad-hominem-y there, Jeff. Don't you think we need to cut each other some slack? We who are on the red-pilly side are all convicted - yet conflicted, confused, angry, frustrated, fearful, feeling powerless. And each who falls in that category is doing what s/he can to push back the darkness with whatever skills and hope they may have. In our province it means potentially preventing the governmental ugliness from becoming uglier A stopgap measure, to be sure, but one works for, hopes for, prays for a breakthrough of common sense - and attempts to put a finger in the ever ballooning dike. Let us seek to lift each other up, not tear each other down.
Some are natural leaders; some are followers. God bless the red-pilled followers who desperately wait for the rally cry. We were there supporting truckers in all the ways we could. We don't know what the other has done, what they have endured in their quest for genuine freedoms in this nation - job loss, breakup of families, health woes. I know this is hard and we want to lash out somewhere, somehow at the monstrous insults to our dignity and our freedom, but we need to check our judgments of others who, too, are fighting the good fight in whatever way they can. God bless our nation of Canada
☔
I know. I did say I lose it sometimes, who doesn't...
We don't have much time for exchanging ideas, the cabal is eyeing the internet for awhile now, Not everyone needs to know how to operate a proper communications base, but everyone of us needs to know how to get to one. We need to show some fangs and claws, people.
And we need to get to terms with the idea that we are fighting for those we care for, if we make-it to the end alive, that's just a bonus.
Great Big Sigh, yes. And there are stages to red-pilling, just as there are stages of grief. In Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral, the archbishop stated (referring to the chorus of women who lamented the dire events surrounding them), “Mankind cannot bear very much reality.” Indeed, so it goes with us now, and to be remembered is that many were already (and are) suffering heavy personal crosses. But, yes, we must inexorably inch towards acceptance of reality as best as each can. Lord have mercy. Strengthen us.
Absolutely! I cringe when I read articles and comments that attempt to portray "conservatives" as potential saviors. All that means is the authors are completely taken in by the grand illusion of the 2-party system, one composed of good guys and the other composed of bad guys. There are no good guys, not a single one. Not until we wake up to the reality that we are continually being deceived into believing that voting matters, that we have a voice in our government, that all we need is some principled politician to swoop in and drain the swamp, will we ever be able to dismantle the sham that is government and start over, or find a way to divorce ourselves from the system and live on our own.
Spot on, thank you.
BOOM!
And yet Canadians re-elect Justin no matter what he has done.
Are you kidding? He’s not elected, he’s selected as the NWO lap dog, just like Gavin NewSCUM in Commifornia.
The NWO/WEF makes sure he gets elected. In 2019, I thought for sure he would loose. That's when the blackface issue came out, media couldn't hide it. But, what happened? Obama to the rescue! He gave a nice little speech about how that really wasn't racist and that JT is really a good guy. Greta also put in an appearance. That's when she literally sailed into Canada and preached climate change while visiting a glacier in Alberta in the middle of an October blizzard. An October blizzard is early even by Canadian weather standards! And of course, the paid for media gave precious little coverage to the conservative candidate (Andrew Scheer). And so JT won again. I have still to be convinced that Dominion is even necessary in Canada.
Yes, how true. And for those of us who write their politicians regularly, we know they have, for the most part, become bobbleheady critters.
When I was raising my children, I used a parenting technique that was alleged to offer children a certain amount of power and autonomy: Give them three choices - all of them yours! It worked for quite a while until they figured it out 😁 and said, “None of the above.” And now many suspect the same applies to political parties, and especially in Canada where there are many official political parties: Give them six or seven choices - all of them yours.
And observing more potential manipulation, we saw effective conservative vote-splitting in the last federal election, where 25 ridings were affected, changing the outcome, giving the nod once again to JT. And we may see it June 2 in Ontario where there is not just one, but three “conservative” parties, splitting conservative vote three ways. Since our voting system is first-past-the-post, this might significantly change the outcome of key rural-ish ridings and leave us with a liberal/ndp coalition 😱😱😱 I pray I am SO wrong.
My ideal outcome would be Conservative minority propped by the the 2 new parties. Yes, vote splitting is a problem but it's one that the conservatives have brought upon themselves. Ford has been a disappointment.
Neither True Blue or Ontario Party can hope to win a single riding, except maybe for Brenda and Jim (and esp since they are further splitting the vote), so they will never prop up a "conservative minority." Ford a disappointment, absolutely, but a lib/dip coalition would be disastrous - and it is very real. I held my nose with a dozen clothespins and voted prov conserv - lesser of the evils. And given the vote splitting that affected the 2021 federal election, I believe we need to vote strategically. Further, I believe that on some level those two parties were created to split the vote three ways and produce the lib/dip coalition. But nobody listens.
The NDP have been the anal suppository for the Liberals for most of my life. Nice of them to know their place and "fit in" where they belong.
Do you use Dominion voting machines in Canada? Maybe that's why he can't be voted out.
We don't really need Dominion in Canada. Trudeau is good at buying votes: rule by opinion poll. That said, I've heard anecdotes of suspicious vote counting.
To my knowledge so far they have been used spottily in municipal elections, once partially in a provincial election, and in major party (Liberal, Conservative) leadership elections. More recently they were used in the Ontario conservative party leadership election (Doug Ford was chosen), and the Federal conservative party leadership election (Erin O’Toole was selected). In both of these leadership elections there was a 7 hour delay in the count. Since these are ranked ballot elections there should have been no delay. It was blamed on mechanical glitches. It will be interesting to discover if DVS will be used in the upcoming federal conservative leadership election in September.
As the expression goes "it's time to get the hell out of Dodge".
Running won’t help you. The bandits will find you. You have to make a stand.
I would live to but where? US immigration is impossible.
I've been looking at this too. Problem is (and the online personalities I watch/read agree) that the entire world has gone Marxist. It's only a matter of relatively less severe at the moment. Keeping a low profile seems to be a consensus recommendation and diversifying your assets internationally too. I heard someone say that you shouldn't live anywhere in 'permanent' mode at the moment and be ready to pickup and go elsewhere fairly quickly. Having a 2nd passport seems to be a recommendation, even if we can't leave Dodge at the moment.
Shar, you need to find your way to Mexico and come in through the back door which has been left wide open.
parts of Europe that are off the beaten track, but who knows. I am in such a place and it feels a little separated from the fracas, but that is mostly illusion I suppose
I think as long as you can keep a low profile and don't have much interaction with any kind of officials, you're OK, at least for the foreseeable future.
Democracy is the problem. The only sane system is one in which no law which seriously imposes on people can be passed without near-unanimity. Otherwise, you have the tyranny of the majority or plurality like we do now.
"Leveraging ignorance for political points" - isn't that pretty much the job description of most politicians? "Wanted: federal legislator - must be proficient at leveraging the ignorance of the populace for political points."
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one.”
—Thomas Jefferson (h/t The Good Citizen)
Someone in WV was shooting up a graduation. Mama got her gun out and plugged him fulla lead. Shooting stopped.
They could have used her in Texas. Those poor kids.
There were quite a few. Some police who were setting up a picnoc on the schoolhouse lawn stopped them, cuffed and tazed them. Musta run across the grass on the way to the propped open side door into the school.
Here's how it's done Florida. Epic:
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2022/05/31/florida-sheriff-issues-warning-to-wouldbe-school-shooters-n2607988
The sheriff of Polk Cty, Fl - just like him.
Love.
True! We have some characters down here.
“I want them to shoot them, shoot them so much that you can read the local newspaper through them. Neutralize the threat.”
Florida style. Give them a belly full lof lead imo
In the U.K., Mama would have been prosecuted.
Add it to one of the reasons we left.
God, the founders were smart
They were on to the way of tyrants.
From every angle! Its quite remarkable. They thought of just about everything, by just accounting for human nature
They were the cream that rose to the top of the Enlightenment.
Normally an oxymoron, they were both utopian and pragmatic. They created a republic that was the greatest engine of liberty, both personal and economic, in the history of the world.
It was so successful that Americans forgot the source of their freedom and wealth, and became rich enough to allow themselves to be taken in by leftist mountebanks and grifters promoting State power, for the Common Good™, don't you know, which like many parasites, has grown to the point where it is sucking the host dry.
We need to reanimate our nation.
Separate the State from money. Separate the State from the economy. Separate the Separate the State from morality. Separate the State from education.
Separate the State from everything.
The Tree of Liberty is very, very thirsty.
Positively parched.
"We need to reanimate our nation". That brings it to life. Good choice of words.
Yes. The problem is we have mostly "stick-figures" as fellow citizens. Pretty hard to reanimate those with only four articulating joints and zero executive functioning of the frontal lobe.
Maybe shit has to get really bad so that the stick figures can figure out they are being moved to and fro by the ultimate puppet master: The State
Just watch how animated they become when their dollars become worthless and they become hungry.
This popped up as I'm looking at my kids 529C statement. Thanks!..
So true. Three meals away from anarchy
They had two advantages: they were smart, and they were *experienced*.
Their classical education is what allowed them to use their experience and intelligence toward the goals they achieved. And their exceptionally civil upbringing tempered their passions allowing productive discourse.
Virtually all of them were polymaths. I believe this to be the "secret sauce" that led to a well thought out constitution and system of governance. That and furious debating surrounding a common goal.
They had a much wider aperture than the "one trick pony" soothsayers we've witnessed of late.
I did a little research and discovered this statement was not made by Thomas Jefferson but was rather a quote by Cesare Beccaria that Jefferson recorded in his “Legal Commonplace Book.” The original is in Italian, and the quote above is believed to be from a 1963 translation by Henry Palolucci:
https://www.monticello.org/site/research-and-collections/laws-forbid-carrying-armsspurious-quotation
We're going to forgive you, since you do so much for the cause!
I'm surprised Libertate didn't give you a loving "scold".
I love your guys' quotes. Learning quite a bit from you guys!
😆😅
I looked up Cesare Beccaria. Among other things he was a criminologist.
Seems we all need to read more Jefferson these days...so many spot on quotes!!!!!
I think he was onto something there.
Pity we have so devolved from the wisdom of the past. Quite well explains the founders ideas about "carrying of arms". We might ask how we have been so mislead over time.
I have been posting this a lot lately, but it really explains it:
“Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.”
(G. Michael Hopf, Those Who Remain)
We're on #4. It will swing to #1. In between, therein lies pain.
Notice that just yesterday the Parliament voted to keep all airport restrictions, including the banning of "unjabbed" citizens in airplanes departing Canada. This, is a vendetta. This is JT's way of "sticking it to the trucker". This guy is sick, seriously. And, slowly but surely, hard men will be forged out of this.
Godspeed to those hard men.
AND WOMEN! Behind every good man, is a good woman! Women take care of men, children and nurture. Many of us also FIGHT like psychos when our “nest” is compromised! Rule of thumb: don’t f**k with a “crazy” woman. You’ll lose.
Never truer words. My wife would claw someone's face off if they messed with our kids. It's quite remarkable...and scary. Pity the fool who messes with the nest.
Your last sentence: oh I see a great T-shirt there: “Pity the fool who messes with the nest”
That's a good idea! My wife said it was clever. Thats always good enough for me...:)
You’re talking about my past wives now. And you’re correct.
Have you seen the Crazy Scale! It’s hilarious!
LOL. Epic! Starts off a little corny, and I thought it might be lame, but a few minutes later I was literally LOL-ing.
“🤪”
I have always said, behind every great man, there is a surprised woman.
Manuel - thx for starting off my morning with a good chuckle! That one is now committed to my brain RAM
Ryan, you are welcome.
And it is also true. Don't you think?
Absolutely. There are so few great men left these days. I think there's ample evidence of that after the last two years. Where were all the real MEN?
Coincidentally, here's the first article in my feed this morning. It's germane imo.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/06/where_are_all_the_men.html
It is true.
The other day I had to have lunch in a McDonalds because it was too late to go any other place. There was a table, right next to me in which four teenagers were having lunch. They were extremely obnoxious and, when they left, they left all the area absolutely covered by litter.
A few minutes afterwards, a lady came to clean up the mess. It took her over 10 minutes. I couldn't help myself, but had to ask her if all the rubbish was due to the four teenagers. She confirmed it and told me that, these same four teenagers went each Friday afternoon to the restaurant with the same result. Another customer told me that, before I arrived, an old-lady that was seated were I was had had to leave, because one of the teenagers threw an eaten chicken wing that hit her (I saw it on the floor under my table).
The owners of the restaurant have to accept the situation because there is no longer the right to deny service to anyone. They know that their other customers are annoyed, and it is costing them money, but there is nothing they can do.
This is the kind of society we live in. We need to change it. It has become absolutely obvious that our governments are no longer interested in providing the services that they are supposed to provide. They make us poorer and our life more miserable, sometimes enriching cronies in the process, but most of the time just destroying wealth and happiness with no purpose.
Yes, we need great men (and women).
“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”
I'm at the brink, just teared up. I fear it will to come down to this, when times are hard enough to create strong men. Right now, keep moving with the job, provide for hard times, keep the family life lively. I'm man of faith, so "nothing shall I wont".
god bless zerohedge
Couldn't agree with you more. I think JT is still feeling a little bit hurt when the European gathering he attended showed their displeasure about his handling of the Freedom Convoy. We are becoming the laughing stock of the world. Italy just dropped all their travel mandates. These days I identify more with the poor creatures we keep in our zoos. Pacing back and forth in a confined space with no escape or release in sight.
Helen,
Let me put “weak men” in terms most will understand. Sometime in August in BC, premier Horgan and health sidekick Bonnie appear on cable news (which I cut, btw. No more cable here) talking about “vaccine mandates”. I was livid. But things were unclear, then. I’m a post-secondary instructor, and some time after that announcement, we got the Post-Secondary Ministry memo that colleges and universities could do as they saw fit, by email. I replied to the department: “from we’re all in this together, 2 weeks to flatten the curve to ‘show me your papers’. Don’t support the medical apartheid”. And I got a reply: “but it’s good public health policy!”. There, “weak men”.
And, for the record, I am using "men" (or, better, using the original quote) in the sense that used to have in this context: "peoplekind" (as his highness the pharaoh JT uttered)
Good analogy. I take it further. Weak men somehow still cling to power. For me our health minister was a bit of a stretch. I'm old enough to remember The Glen Clark scandal and his involvement.
Helen! What a sad thought. Now, I have this picture in my mind, and it's just really sad.
We seem to be living in a time of the weakest of men, foreboding the hardest of times, and the most severe reckoning to follow.
Omg…I’m 58 and I see the “men” now…absolutely pathetic. And he’s going to protect ME? I’ll take chances on my own. Thanks but no thanks. My bf and I were in Portland before the bs years ago, and I couldn’t tell the straight males from the gay ones. And I think they were all STRAIGHT! Women today don’t even know what a real man is!
The campaign against masculinity began decades ago. It has been very effective. Nowadays people who look like me—W/M—and who exhibit any of the traits once respected as properly manly are called “toxic” in our toxic popular culture.
Manhood has taken one hell of a beating in my lifetime. Men are demoralized because the Plan has long been to demoralize them.
Well, be careful not to misgender anyone up there. I understand the penalties are greater than stealing a gun and committing a crime.
A “man” wearing skinny jeans and having no balls is a crime to me…and it should to his wife. Who marries these beta males???? The woman always takes charge. I want a MAN TO TAKE CHARGE! Because I’m a woman and I love strong men!
I've worked in a country town for 14 years. I know all too well what real men are now! Having spent the first 27 years of my life in Sydney, I look back and wonder why I didn't puke at the sight of all those men in tight, shiny suits and pointy shoes! Guess I was young and stupid, eh?
I have to say I really like that my hubby can use not just his muscles but his brain to do all the fencing, fix things around the property & inside the house, shoot foxes & rabbits - but still read a story to the kidlets come bedtime :-) Yes, he's a country boy, and he's even going to build our new house shortly. I feel very lucky to have nabbed such a great guy :-) The best thing is that he LIKES doing all this stuff!
So there you go Renee, I used to not know what a real guy was, but I have come to learn what a real man is. Maybe others have also come down this path.
YOU ARE EXTREMELY BLESSED! I grew up with men like this! And believe it or not, I grew up in San Fransicko! All the guys I grew up with were real men. All were blue collar workers, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc. We’d all go camping in the middle of nowhere and had such a great time. I graduated in 1981, so this was decades ago…years of great memories! I myself have hunted once…a 22lb. turkey-lol! I SEE the difference in men today, and it’s not cool.
Most of them are probably too worried about being hit for a sexual harassment claim, ha ha
Maybe women have gotten too touchy as well, who knows...
But those 'SNAGs'? Men just aren't naturally that sensitive (yes, I'm generalising here!), and if I was with a guy who was as emotional as me, I'd leave him!
But I think if we all got on with things, called a spade a spade, and were more realistic, we'd be living in a very different world. In many ways, I think the country men have it right, because those attributes I just mentioned are typically male rather than female: but then men are called sexist pigs or insensitive jerks for saying how it really is. Maybe women need to grow a thicker skin and men just need to stop being assholes sometimes. There's room for improvement on both sides if you ask me.
But yeah, still prefer a country boy to a city boy any day!
Damn, well said. So precise. Exactly how I feel.
Yep. Pain will come first - whatever we consider “pain” to be - but reckoning will follow.
Hopefully, but I don't see much evidence of it. Canadians seem pretty tamed.
We are and it drives me crazy. Way too complacent and nice. If someone accidentally bumps into a Canadian don't worry. We will apologize.
“Weak men”. Yep, pretty tamed.
And yet the political class on the left repeatedly keep saying “why you so angry?” At protestors. Our next federal election is 2025 and Americans have no idea how angry we are under the surface we show to visitors
Where do you see that anger going? 2025 is a long way away, and the Trudeau regime can do an enormous amount of damage in that time.
And the Biden/Obama/Clinton/DOJ/CIA CARTEL…organized crime. But, it was going on long before they were ever conceived.
I see it going on your mom
I am a very angry Canadian and am fed up to the teeth with our current government. Still can't leave this godforsaken country since I chose to stay unvaccinated.
Us, too. Maybe we were meant to stay and fight...
And here in the USA, we are in the same “predicament”.
Many of us have considered fleeing to the States, but we fear it will be no different there in a couple of years. Is running away always the answer? At some point, don't we have to stand up and say, "Enough! This is MY country and I want it back!"?
Exactly right. There was no place in Russia to run to when the Bolsheviks took over. Stay and fight.
God bless you guys up north.
How can we get our country back when they CHEAT, LIE AND MURDER their way into office? We have NO election integrity… Here in Alabama, governor memaw Kaye Ivey just supposedly won the republican nomination… I didn’t know a single person that voted for her Ms. Rino in chief… 🔥🔥🔥.
It’s downright disgusting 🤢🤢🤢🤮😡😡😡
No quackcine - you are a pureblood ! 👏
Helen, does the government actually physically restrain people from leaving? I'm trying to picture how this works.
We're not allowed on planes, trains, or public transit. When crossing land borders to the States, you may get asked if you're vaxxed and they may force you to turn around and go home if you aren't. We have heard of people getting across the border unvaxxed, and also of people being turned away. It's hit or miss.
Wow.
Can you picture yourself with all your friends, family and loved ones? Take a mental picture.
Then picture all the clothes, furniture, belongings, etc, you need to start a new life in another country.
Realize you will never be legal there because you do not have citizenship. You might not be able to open a bank account or transfer your money, get a license, etc.
Despite the fact their government is letting millions in the south illegally and handing them asylum, giving them 500k as “payment” for their illegal activity, helping them get ID cards, NOT testing for covid. But those from the north, from a country that is your nearest democratic (???) sister. No.
Yeah. Sorry. I know.
But that’s your answer.
Just like THIS is our home, Oh Canada is theirs.
Yes, it is our home. I always thought that if we had to leave, we would just go. Canada has been socialist for a long time. But it's hard to go.
We have researched moving to the US. It's nearly impossible. We joke about flying to Mexico and walking across the border, like everyone else.
Some of you, perhaps. Wasn’t he just reupped?
He is on the Globalists side of course. The side that wants to depopulate the planet. The Globalists need to disarm the people for total control. We know what happens when guns are confiscated. People die. Lots and lots of people. Tyranny! The genocidal agenda for the New World Order Madness.
every day it seems there is some additional obscenity, infringement, transgression. every day new heights of hypocrisy are attained. someone made the point that Trudeau is surrounded by armed security 365/24/7 and he has the gall to tell others they cant have firearms.
It is quite clear that all this is completely intentional at this point.
Most or all of us are aware of how government creates problems, then "works" on a "plan" to solve them, then ends up making the problem worse while creating new problems for them to "work" to "solve".
Add to this that Castro Jr. is a WEF kindergarten graduate and Klause Kritter™, and along with the rest of the "leadership" of the formerly free world wants to Build Back Better™, which of course requires ruins to "build back", and the incentives become rather clear.
But they now have the capstone to finally complete the totalitarian arch over us all: an utterly depraved, supine, credulous, ignorant population that a century of progressive government propaganda, "education", divide and conquer tactics, bread, circuses and other shiny objects have bamboozled at least a plurality, and in many cases a majority, of the capite censi into voting for their own enslavement and impoverishment.
They have literally reversed the enlightenment for hundreds of millions of people, returning them to a state of superstition and fear.
I am at a real loss as to how to come back from this and get our civilization back, but we need to sort it out.
^^^^!
“ Add to this that Castro Jr. is a WEF kindergarten graduate and Klause Kritter™, and along with the rest of the "leadership" of the formerly free world wants to Build Back Better™, which of course requires ruins to "build back", and the incentives become rather clear.”
Priceless!
Rome is 🔥 burning
The barbarians are not just within the gates, they are in the neighborhood.
The barbarians were never the main reason for the fall.
As with most nations/kingdoms/empires throughout history, Rome fell due to the festering cancer of corruption from within.
Indeed.
Under Diocletian Romans were fleeing into barbarian lands, willing to be stripped of everything but their clothes in order to escape the corruption, continuous currency debasement and onerous taxation.
At the end, many Romans welcomed the invaders as liberators.
"A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within."
~ Ariel Durant
I’ve thought about the phrase “Nero fiddled while Rome burned” a thousand times.
"government creates problems, then "works" on a "plan" to solve them, then ends up making the problem worse while creating new problems for them to "work" to "solve". - BINGO
Great and sad observation of where we are right now. And yes, how do we come back from it, and can we.
"guns for me but not for thee"
When citizens can't have guns legally but the authorities can, it's called a police state.
I agree! I’m a retired deputy sheriff of 23 years. I’ll stand with my fellow Americans before ANY civil service sheep. And what the sheep don’t realize is, you are a “useful idiot” (Lenin) you’ll be next! We’re repeating history in real time. Read “GULAG ARCHIPELAGO” by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. I see what the government does…I’m not interested. In fact, I’m “scared”.
We can all probably name several. Those who will show up, invited to their own arrests or executions, dressed in Sunday finest, with a suitcase, relieved that they are still in the cool kids' club, as their friends have already been arrested or shot in the head. And for the first time in my life, perhaps as you, I'm actually "afraid" of something. Americans have conceded, given up in favor of pot and porn. Solzhenitsyn and others have been warning us for over fifty years. The real Yuri Bezmenov advised in 1984 that we have nowhere to defect.
Yuri Bezmenov knew this. He lived it. Now we are.
This soy boy would cry like a 😺if he looked at a round…pathetic.
We need, at least in America, to stop calling these people "leaders" - they are not leaders, they are (or are supposed to be) representatives, public "servants." In these cities like San Francisco and Chicago, I do believe those holding public office actually represent the inanity of thought that comes from those who vote for them. That these people continue to be elected reveals either a corruption in the election system or the depravity of their constituents.
All of the above
I retired from San Fransicko last March. Everyone in that city is insane. SF was never like this. It was a beautiful, law and order city. It was full of families and children. It was affordable with nightlife and great restaurants. What changed? I think the Tech Industry changed it immensely. Also, transplants from EVERYWHERE changed the whole dynamic. Now, it’s been taken over by Progressives that are all on the take who are selfish and apathetic. And it’s happening everywhere-now!
In totally unrelated news, a few years ago Toronto, previously known primarily for being boring, caught up with NYC in violent crime.
I really gotta wonder how long law-abiding people will keep abiding as the anarchotyranny gets increasingly blatant.
IMO. A really really long time.
As a Canadian I am grateful for this post. While I was aware of this recent legislation which I am sure will be passed I was unaware of the move to reduce prison time for offenses that are gun related. Racism! Seriously our prime Minister is crazier than a loon. If not for your post today I would not have known about this part of this juicy woke tale. Certainly haven't seen anything about the reduced sentences for said crimes from our media. It's possible I have missed any reports about this, as I am on a 4 month sabbatical in our trailer which means no TV which is a blessing and at times, limited wifi. Am using my limited data right now to post my comment. Worth every penny.
Worlds so called leaders are actors performing in One Giant Scripted PSYOP

people just stand and stare at each bullet individually dumbfounded and fail to see the army across the field.
ON some level I suspect that these people know they are baiting people. I mean how much vindictiveness, hypocrisy, craven lying, cant, evil... do they think we can take. Those of us who understand the tragic dimension of life; who hold the constrained vision and have not deemed ourselves the anointed concern ourselves with building our private lives. We have families, careers , friends, hobbies. We seek growth and joy. We are relational and voluntary in our dealings with others. These others, Like Trudeau have none of this. They are emotionally and spiritually bankrupt and know it. THey seek to destroy and dominate. The fact that you and I have joyous private lives drives them crazy. How long will it be until some of us get fed up and defend ourselves against these monstrous incursions into our liberty. Our defense will be deemed "terrorism" .
THe scottish author Ian Banks wrote a series of novels called the "culture" novels that explored ideas like this. Power used for good and bad. The exploitation of technology to increase power...
The end goal is chaos. When that happens, they usher in The Great Reset.
It's harder to have chaos when normal people have a means to defend themselves. So they MUST take that ability away ASAP.
No matter how one feels about mandatory minimums, gun ownership, and the potential for or existence of racism in the judicial system, this is internally inconsistent to the point of being a satire piece. Outlaw guns but then loosen/eliminate penalties for committing gun related violence? One gun death is too many, which is why we're going to make the penalties for gun violence more lenient?
I'm starting to feel like the world I used to live in collided with a bad SNL sketch.
Yet Trudeau is tough on bouncy castles.
SAID SORRY TOO OFTEN jars are all now holding pickles in Canuckistan. SWEAR jars overflowing with loonies and toonies line our kitchen counters. We have learned that the eff word can be a noun, verb, adjective and adverb and can actually fit into one sentence as long as dear leader’s name is in the same sentence. Canadians who had never uttered “darn” prior to 2020 have discovered, to their shock, the joy of a well-placed, stress-relieving fuddle duddle. Confessors just laugh and nod. 🤣
This is what made the F Trudeau flags so poignant.
And especially poignant standing on 401 bridges when it was -85C, whilst all truckers honked in solidarity, and flag 🇨🇦 wavers felt like a band of brothers. May that spirit live. What unites us is not piously-intoned “diversity” uttered by pm actor, but love for our freedom and rights.
