How do we do it?

Expand full comment

We need to start God Mode.

I read a piece yesterday that gave me some solace, reminding me to not fear. It was directed at another group but if it works, I’ll take it.

midama - I loved that article - especially the part 2 on the spirit of fear. It also gave me solace, but also a sense of "I'm NOT crazy"

I subscribed on the spot the moment I finished reading.

So in the battle we’re in, I guess these things are little markers, pointers that light up the way, “over here”, “go over there” “try this, it will help”, a reminder to read stuff that nourishes, be with people that bring you up, eat stuff that your body doesn’t need to argue with (I guess the term is “disagree” but I’m letting it stay) all that Jazz so when the time to really really fight back is here, we can give as good as we get. No one is taking me alive to any camp. And I’m sure I could take at least one wretched monster down with me.

In my head, I do think it will come to blows. Maybe that’s naive and the military will spray us all with nanobots to sedate us before taking a battering ram to the door.

I remember reading that article in September thanks to my husband's cousin and passing it on to people who needed to read it. Sadly, those people are leadership in the congregation and I don't see any movement in the right direction. Business as usual continues. Those of us who are awake need to keep rejecting the fear and keep speaking out.

Basically you need a Hitler.

They seem to already have one. They just don't come across as inherently evil as the original. A happy giggly, or boring authoritarian is still an authoritarian though. Everyone is so quick to judge the German people in the 30's for going along with Hitler, and yet it seems like the people of the world have learned absolutely nothing since then. They still go along with leaders that blame others (the unvaxxed, or jews, or some other group of outsiders) and promise to solve all their problems as long as the people just give them more emergency power to fix things. Now Australians are being forcibly shipped to "quarantine camps". How many of them will end up being mistreated, or forced vaccinated, or will just disappear and never be heard from again? Will the unvaxxed have their assets seized as well? You hear all sorts of horrible things in the media about what should happen to those terrible unvaxxed vermin that are holding everyone else back. The whole pandemic of the unvaxxed narrative. At what point are they so demonized that some people believe the only way to save humanity is to exterminate the unvaxxed. The quarantine camps become extermination camps, and nobody cares. The narrative will change to "they had it coming, they were the worst of the worse and were putting us all at risk. The new "other" will now be those that are not up to date with the latest quarterly booster shot regimen. Now they are off to the camps since they are putting us all at risk with their non compliance...

So true. And it has started the same way in every country, just fast-forwarded in countries easier to control. If anyone thinks we are somehow any different and it won't happen here, I would argue that that is delusional. It will happen here mainly because these lockdowns and punishments are not random or specific only to the country in which they exist--they are part of a global strategy. So it's coming here--it so much easier to get the easier ones locked down first.

And I feel that every day we do nothing, the worse it will be. If an when we do anything, it will be late in the 4th quarter and our options will certainly be more limited than they are now.

Apparently Biden has not been inside the White House for months. They fenced the White House off months ago. Newsom seems to be awol too, having shipped his children elsewhere... It seems they anticipate a real revolt.

First they'll need a Reichstag fire, or a phony assassination. I have no doubt they'll 'find' one :(

As bad as Biden is, "President Harris" does not exactly inspire confidence. But in a way, both of these are puppets, and the real decisions are made in the shadows.

Expand full comment

I agree with you. Is it Austria though instead of Australia?

Expand full comment

No, this is Australia all right - the Northern Territory, indigenous country.

Expand full comment

Yes, the article speaks of Australia, but Austria and Germany also as of this weekend--complete lockdowns. They are falling, as the history books say, like dominoes.

Expand full comment

thank you...so scary on all fronts

Expand full comment

The article said Australia, although I'm sure Austria is not far behind. The only difference right now is that what I hear out of Austria is that the police and military are refusing to comply with the mandatory vax order and are protesting with the people.

thank you. i must have misread something

Is that why the media went nuts (and still does) on Trump? Or is he part of all of this? Hard to know what is real anymore.

Expand full comment

I think Trump is a conman who was allowed to become President if he played the role of a (fake) modern "Hitler" for the masses so the left could be riled up against the right in a major way.

What we need is a real leader(s) who can rally the people and act with determination and ruthlessness.

Expand full comment

You think Trump was "allowed to become President"? Seriously? So, the endless psy-op and the Russian collusion bullshit was all part of the plan? Trump was a disruptor. Clearly, they did not anticipate his win. They thought they had the election under control...and the people had a different idea. They were ready in 2020, and they got away with it.

Expand full comment

I think either theory is possible. Outside of this discussion, there have been a few things that lend some credibility to Hansen's theory. A lot of bluster about the election and "proof" that it was stolen, and yet, going on a year now and nothing but build up and clatter; that Trump is pro vax and even after time, has not come out against it or the mandates. "Former President Trump reportedly said he would not mandate COVID-19 vaccines if he were still in office, noting he would “convince people” to take it instead." And, "It was supposed to take five years and they said it wasn’t going to work. I did three vaccines in less than nine months and they do work, they work really well.” This does not sound anything like a disruptor. He would definitely know the truth by now, so ignorance can't be the excuse.

I'm not defending Trump's role in the creation of the "vaccines". He facilitated all of this. Was he a willing, informed participant or was he just a business man trying to fix a problem and a politician trying to get re-elected? IDK.

I just don't believe he was "allowed to become President" I 2016. I think they wanted Hillary and expected her to win.

And I don't believe that Biden (who couldn't get anyone to vote for him on the first two attempts) and Harris (who dropped out before the Iowa Caucuses) got 80 million votes.

Fixing the 2020 election is another matter.

Yes, the election results just don't seem plausible. But all of that could be a lot of theatre as well. If you read the Substack "Adretto" posted below, it is interesting. https://secularheretic.substack.com/p/vaccines-or-bioweapons-part-2

Let me know what you think.

Expand full comment

I will read through it.

But I don't believe Biden won...and I don't believe he got 80 million votes.

I also believe there are people on sub stack who are inside the wire attempting to undermine the opposition and cause doubt and dissent. I take everyone and everything with a grain of salt.

Expand full comment

Absolutely. While I'm quite happy with Substack so far, anyone who thinks we don't or won't have trolls and shills here, beyond the obvious like Porno Paula, is living in a fantasy world.

Yup, you're right. Gotta keep eyes wide open at all times.

This is an excellent piece.

And, if I may: LOCAL, LOCAL, LOCAL. I'm an old guy and the worship of a great "R" or a great "D" at the top of the world hasn't done much for me in my lifetime. But... making sure I have a Sheriff and a City Council and a School Board that aren't cowards and believe in individual liberty? Now that HAS made a difference.

Yes very true. Having the "city chiefs" on your side is a huge relief even when the central government is hostile.

Which means I have to move! That is looking more and more likely.

It gets a bit off topic. I'm of the opinion that Trump was basically a "none of the above," a "Fuck you!" that succeeded, surprising everyone including him. He wasn't (and isn't) the savior many on the right wished and still wish that he were. He was easily co-opted by the "real" (swamp, deep state) government. If you are or were a Democrat, merely look at how the 2020 primaries were manipulated. Biden was never a favorite. Powerful interests did all they could to eliminate Sanders. And when Biden was approved, Harris (even less popular than alternatives), was worked in since he'd promised a black woman Veep. The system is rigged top-to-bottom, beginning-to-end. We aren't going to vote our way out of this.

Yes, it's amazing how most of us are still very much under the illusion that we pick the candidates and vote for them.

Lol. You people are sick, but not with Covid.

Who knew Trump was part of a vast right-wing conspiracy to cede total power to the left?

Those sneaky far-right wingers.

Everybody who bothered to look knew Trump was a stooge. Not a conspiracy? Where have you been the last 2 years?

Why do you TDS people have to ruin every single conversation there is by injecting some off the wall Trump fantasy into it? It's tiresome.

Expand full comment

What the hell is TDS? And in what world are you living where you believe an obvious conman like Trump is for real?

Trump Derangement Syndrome. It was way more contagious (for the left) than covid and, apparently, incurable. Once the brains are turned to mush, there is no fixing them. Kinda like Humpty Dumpty.

This is a strain I haven't seen before.

Oooookay.

Don't fall prey to the greater manipulation. All of this infighting is nonsense. All of these red/blue stories? Nonsense and many staged. Believe me, I wanted Trump to be the great white hope too, but if he's not, I want to know. I just want to know the truth, period.

Most idiotic stupid comment I have ever read.

Expand full comment

That makes perfect sense. It served to polarize us in a way nothing else could. It also got the country to deem him "fascist" and "authoritarian" so that his predecessor could not be so deemed. Isn't that the best strategy? Accuse the person you are against of doing exactly what it is you are doing. In my 55 years, I have never seen so many "executive orders" on a federal and state level and have the masses believe that forced injections are perfectly acceptable.

In retrospect, all of it seems fake. The 2016 election and Hilary's "disappointment." The set-up of a fascist leader and relentless media influence and shift over the past 5 years, Trump's 2020 loss and his false attempts to overturn the election. Next, if this progresses well, we will have another right-wing "win" in 2024 and the masses will be so grateful, they will do anything.

Nah, you just need God. But not the narrative version.

God is our protector not our leader. If a leader becomes a tyrant it is always the peoples responsibility to put him down.
