What an incredible post. It was exactly what I needed to read this morning. It needs to be posted as a friendly reminder - and activator - daily. Thank you, Peter!
I agree with your assessment and thank you for this overview which many of us can’t see because we are black-pilled to some extent and too bogged down in the day to day. Excellent!
The question is: will those who stay actually step up when necessary? I am not sure most have the clarity to know when taking action is necessary. Most will 'wait and see' as a default, and that could be deadly for allowing all of this insanity to continue. Do any of your readers imagine the trigger will be clear for every one?
"Most will 'wait and see' as a default, and that could be deadly for allowing all of this insanity to continue."
That's right. It's ineradicable human nature. It will be deadly -- as it already *is*, for an increasing number of us, in a variety of ways. Followers always wait for the winds to change. Once that happens, then boom! So, stealing the words of Hemingway, I say it will happen "gradually, then all at once".
You are probable right. Just be sure that before it happens all at once, that you are one of the ones checking six and ready to go. Because I am afraid that, even if it becomes necessary, it will not be pretty before it is all over.
Quite right, DM. But it will require a whole lot of different people with those individual sticking points to come together to set all of this right should the balloon go up. And those folks must, once again, be willing to 'pledge their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor' to ensure all of this idiocy ends once and for all.
The so-called French Resistance has been blown out of all proportion in order for Frenchmen to hold up their heads after their crushing WWII defeat by Germany. Clearly, they would never have removed the Germans by themselves and were provided a lot of support from the UK.
"In other words, even with our shabby election infrastructure, they still fear the people." I laughed out loud on this line. Looking at what the Uniparty does inside the Beltway, they clearly do NOT fear the people. They spend trillions we don't have and get involved in every war possible, shoving billions to Ukraine and Israel, ignoring Israel's clear genocide of Palestinian civilians. They are destroying the dollar, both as the reserve currency and as our currency as well. It appears deliberate. They do not care what you think. They will lie to you come Elections and go right back to their usual traitorous behaviors.
I don't want a democracy. Democracies don't have minority rights. The Founding Fathers never referred to America as a democracy, as they understood what that meant. We are supposed to be a Constitutional Republic, but I am afraid only Congressman Massie is the only one in Congress who takes this seriously. How very sad that we are clearly not at all like the Founding Fathers wished things to be, but more than one stated without a moral people, all is lost. Here we are.
This time around, authoritarianism will be harder to defeat. They will own all your assets in a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and make your money disappear in a second if you cross their radar. Cellphones and social media make it incredibly easy for an authoritarian government to track everyone. Even Twitter now censors users. I have zero faith in the conservative movement. No one in the movement is serious about following the Constitution. They don't even ask the GOP candidate hard questions about what the Constitution requires and what it prohibits. They are all wrapped up in a candidate, one who was okay with the ATF calling a bump stock a machine gun and likes red flag laws. With DoD recently allowed to enforce laws INSIDE the U.S., they are preparing. Remember authoritarianism lasted 70 years in the USSR. The US implementation of Star Wars was what helped bankrupt the USSR. This time around, there will be no external help. China's authoritarianism shows no signs of waning. The Chinese people have no weapons and so they are essentially helpless against the army which will attack them when ordered, just like Tiananmen Square.
We clearly need another party of principle, but most "conservatives" still rush out to vote GOP. The definition of stupidity is voting for the same party over and over again and expecting a different result. The GOP never claims to be for small government anymore. They are okay with Big Government as long as THEY run it.
"they were still a generation away from the brainwashing it would take for a totalitarian takeover"
Exactly. They needed the rest of us with memories to die off. Well, we're now awake, (re-)educating our young, and the suppression will be very messy indeed. That's why they're scrambling to get AI into production yesterday, into every facet of our lives.
Is Team Liberty winning? I hope so, but until We the People reject modern-day bread and circuses from government, I don’t see anything beyond an uneasy Cold War where everyone spends their time trying to figure out how they can maintain their position at the government trough while coercing their neighbors to relinquish theirs. The poverty and despair that people associate with inner city socialism is now threatening every socioeconomic class in the West. Every sector of the economy—EVERY sector—now depends, to one degree or another, on government spending or legislative preferences. At, what is it, $60 trillion of debt projected for the G7 by 2050 (that’s just the national realized debt), the West is now akin to a lifeboat in which there are 5 times more occupants than seats and everyone is looking to someone else to start paddling back to shore in time to collect their social security check.
The intrinsic link between economics and rights (especially Liberty) is generally unappreciated and traces back in the modern era to Leibnitz and Natural Law.
There are enough awake who see past the fiat green curtain to discern the hidden hands on levers—we’re past the tipping point. Beyond rejecting the false official narratives, I’d argue the best thing We, the People can do is to stack silver, however humbly. This seems to be the Achilles heel of their fiat control system, which is on the verge of collapsing via a massive silver short squeeze revaluation.
That was rather uplifting, in an odd way. Thank you sir. And I do know what you mean by the timing of canned goods. They do have expiration dates
Freeze-dried is good for 25 years, maybe more.
History has been a great teacher, the more I know of it, the less surprised I am, & hopefully the better prepared. Well done
Peter. The Covid canard did not just fall in their laps. They'd been planning on pulling that trigger for years.
What caught them by surprise was the sudden rise in populism worldwide. So they had to pull it sooner rather than later.
a positive message and one with which I agree. we have consistently seen significant pushback against the totalitarian impulse of the left

You have to draw your line and stick to it. It’s different for different people, that’s all.
Quite right, DM. But it will require a whole lot of different people with those individual sticking points to come together to set all of this right should the balloon go up.

I like you... you are way too optimistic. Thank you.

Good article, Peter. Linking it today @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
I will stay for the same reason Bonhoefeur went back to Germany after he came to America - to help his people through it all as best he could.
Thanks, Peter, I like to start my Fridays with optimism.
Nice job brother!
