Hate to say this. But, for most of my life. My family on both sides always cautioned me and warned me about politics. They didn't tell me which way to lean. They didn't tell me to pick a side. They just tried to tell me that it's nearly impossible to make everybody happy and that tomorrow is never promised.
A lot of these politicians will simply promise you things that will never see the light of day. They'll sell you on an idea and then completely sell you out once they actually get into office. My parents flip flopped over the years. They were high on Bill Clinton in the 1990's. They didn't like Bush. They didn't like Bush Jr. After things started coming out over the years. They leaned away from politics until Trump was up for election in 2016. They went all in on red and voted for him. They appreciated his dogmatic attitude and his honesty that was cut throat at times. My younger brother was leaning towards Bernie Sanders at that time. My Dad convinced him to go with Trump instead. For me, personally. It's hard to tell you exactly where it comes from. It's not my parents though. As I got older and started studying things that interested me. Things like ancient cultures, stoicism, war, world history, economics, philosophy, etc. I began to come to my own conclusions. Governments are not perfect. Politicians are not perfect. Corporations are not perfect. Often times, in fact, you will come to find that most of them are bought and paid for. Most of them are corrupt. The genuine candidates that tend to ask too many questions or give off the vibe that they genuinely give a [BLEEP] about your well being. Like Jesse Ventura, Ron Paul, etc. Those guys are often laughed out of the main parties and demonized by the media. Then, I started reading books that would ultimately shape me into who I am at a young age. War is a Racket, Lords of Creation and a few documentaries on YouTube slowly but surely opened my eyes into things that most of the public wasn't maybe aware of. Esoteric Agenda, Zeitgeist, Everything is a rich Man's trick, interviews with William Cooper, some of the things that are now more socially acceptable to discuss openly that were once demonized when I was a kid or now more fact than fiction. That's terrifying. Add in a little bit of George Carlin and his stance on it all and that also had a bit of an impact on me. It really feels like a our political system is just a show of smoke and mirrors. We really have a plutocracy running the show behind the scenes. All of those weird meetings in Bohemian Grove, the Bilderburgh Group meetings, the World Economic Forum now, etc. All of that's been going on now for decades. Following the money will really, really open up your mind to how things work from my findings. Then you get into the deep state stuff with the FBI and CIA. I mean, it goes on and on and on. Sex trafficking, etc. It's just astronomically unfathomable for some people but it's something I have accepted as fact with me nearing the age of 35 this year. I wanted to believe. I really did. I wanted to trust some of these red ties and blue ties over the years. I just can't do it anymore. Especially with fringe policies and rhetoric getting into the way of everyday living. I stand in the middle. A bit of classic liberalism views with fiscal conservative views. Not a fan of big Government. Not a fan of interfering or getting involved geopolitically. Not a fan of us leading the way in arms deals. Not a fan of the direction our public school system is going with this gender fluid nonsense and a number of other belief systems that come straight out Karl Marx's playbook. Everything is corroding in my opinion. Our country is modern day Rome. The show is just about over for us. I think a lot of us can feel it and sense that deep down. And, to be fair, a lot of it's our fault. We deserve what's coming to us. We didn't fight back enough. We didn't push hard enough. We didn't demand enough honesty and transparency here. The only resolution in my opinion is all out war. Internally. Civil war. Until we take matters into our own hands? We're just going to be in this cyclical, abusive relationship with Uncle Sam. The other problem with that? And I recognize the inherent danger and flaw in my belief. Which I don't even advocate, by the way. But, the moment we turn to that? What does that mean for the rest of the world and what does that mean for our actual threats out there globally? China and Russia would love to see this happen here across all of our borders. They'll come right on in and play mop up duty. So, I don't know. In the grand scheme of things. I don't have a [BLEEP] clue. I just feel like we're damned if we do and damned if we don't at this point. It's scary. The two biggest things that stood out to me through all of this though was what happened with JFK, and Operation Northwoods. And then, before that, Woodrow Wilson in 1916 selling us out to the Federal Reserve. Those two key moments have always cautioned me to question anything that smells even remotely fishy when it comes to Government handling and deep state dealings. ![]() "What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king." |
