Whether I want to see them or not, there are a ton of articles talking about the increasingly bad economy and other problems throughout the world. It's all doom and gloom. I've seen the phrase "second Great Depression" used multiple times. There are many reasons that support the notion that the economy is not doing well. One of them that I had not considered is the fact that cardboard box use is down by nearly 13% the first quarter and an additional nearly 10% the second quarter of 2023. [1] That's really huge considering most people buy things online and require some type of cardboard container for shipment.
Other bloggers are noting that the economy is in "contraction" mode, which means it's shrinking instead of growing. These and many other indicators are signs that we are heading toward something that is not going to be good. But shhhh, don't tell the mainstream media because they'd like us to believe everything is fine.
But aside from the economic indicators that trouble is on the way, we also have the absolute corruption happening within aspects of our federal and state (and at times, even our local), governments. The rule of law that has always been based on the Constitution is being set aside while certain agencies have weaponized themselves to go after anyone deemed a threat to their goals. By "their goals," I'm referring to the goals of Marxism. In the case of the USA, it appears that "corporatism," which was defined by Mussolini as, "...a merger of state and corporate power," is rising. This is what is occurring in the United States, to the applause of all Fascists (Leftists).
These fascists want to see Donald Trump on the gallows, while ignoring and even going to bat for Joe and Hunter Biden. Even though Trump's presidency was a bit of a mess, with the cherry on the top being the warp speed vaccine that critically thinking people understand has been abhorrent for people's health and has likely caused a multitude of adverse reactions and deaths, Trump doesn't really need to be treated like he's being treated. The charges are trumped up (no pun intended), but it is clear the corrupt DOJ, FBI and other ABC agencies along with the judge overseeing the case, will continue to go after him solely because they do not want him to be elected to another term. This is a perfect example, in my opinion, of corporatism where the state and corporations have enough power to use tyranny in lieu of true justice to accomplish what they want to accomplish.
In the end, I have no real idea what is true or not. It seems to me that when I look at the political arena, everyone is some type of ACTOR, all doing their part. This will offend people, but that "may" include Trump, though I continue to think he's being mercilessly heckled and attacked, while Joe and Hunter (and Hillary and Obama), continue to skate as untouchable.
Even when a man like Devon Archer testifies under oath before a congressional panel against Hunter Biden, the Left either vilifies him or derides him. Mainstream media pundits come out of the woodwork to tell us what a wonderful father and grandfather Joe Biden is and how much he loves his family and could not possibly have done what Archer alleges (or the IRS whistleblowers or officials in Ukraine, etc., etc., etc). They're all making things up to take down the most popular president in the history of the USA who allegedly garnered 81 million votes and if you disagree with that, then you may have a visit from one of them thar ABC agencies tasked with dealing with "nationalists" and "white supremacists."
It is happening all over the world and around this particular country. I just read of a young teenager who was actually arrested in Wisconsin for preaching on the sidewalk. His crime? Apparently, preaching near a drag show, yet he was on the public sidewalk. [2] The teen was using a hand held mic and amplifier and he apparently needed a permit for that but didn't have one. Instead of simply citing him, he was arrested and probably for "resisting arrest" as well. I wonder what would have happened if he had not been using a mic and amplifier? Good to know it took three or four LEOs to bring this hardened criminal down. It's things like this (along with incidents like what occurred in Uvalde TX where the police did nothing for 71 minutes while roughly 20 students were killed by a mass shooter), that makes me not want to provide blanket support for law enforcement. Are they on the side of law or are they simply becoming fascist henchmen these days?
Then we've got "climate change," which has apparently gone from "global warming" to "global boiling." Not sure how that happened but here we are and the tactics they are using to push that belief is interesting. Several things related to temperatures. They are often using temperatures from airports where the heat index is higher because of all the asphalt tarmacs. They also push the message with their charts while delivering the weather reports. They are now also resorting to using temperatures much closer to the ground instead of high off the ground because they can say things are heating up. All of this tends to "prove" that temperatures are warming therefore "man-made climate change" must be a real thing. They want us to fall for it, hook, line and sinker. We should expect an attempt at "climate lock downs" anytime now to show us they're in control and our movements are harming Gaia.[3] Don't fall for it.
But let me shift gears here in the remainder of this article. I could complain all day and nothing would change. The real question is what do we do in the face of this stench and abject evil that exists and is so confident that it now doesn't even try to hide itself? For me, that's the greatest question I can ask because the corrupt corporatism that we see growing daily is doing everything it can to cower people into submission. The goal is to make us afraid to act or speak out of turn by doing or saying something that goes against the accepted narrative. They want us compliant. Was Jesus complaint to lawlessness? Was John the Baptist or Paul? Was Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Tyndale et al?
So again, what should our response be to all of this? I can only think of one real substantive response that will allow us to retain our dignity and purposefully create for ourselves some semblance of well-being in the midst of the growing behemoth of corruption that seeks to swallow all dissenters up and conform us to the final global order.
The answer is, as far as I can see, to continue doing...
