Bad to the Bone
Loss of Public Trust in our Institutions is well deserved
We are living in a time of consequence. In that fertile ground between sleep and awakening, simple truths are revealed. One of them that came to me this morning was the utter corruption of the systems that govern our daily lives. It is now clear our civilizational systems are failing in real time across the full spectrum of western institutions. The corruption is everywhere—academia, public health, international banking, big media, big government--I don’t have to tell you. You know this.
Social systems are more like biological organisms than rigid hierarchies. Their behavior adapts to a changing environment in a primal need for survival. Before diagnosing the cause necessarily, it is safe to say that the social systems free societies rely on have failed. Whether planned or not by global puppet masters, the sheer inertia of time and circumstance has led us to a dark moment for all who yearn for individual freedom. It doesn’t matter how you vote or who you love, the compounding disasters will damage or destroy life for all of us, our children and our children’s children. The Covid crisis was a dry run, gutted civil discourse, trust in our institutions, and demonstrated the thin line between love and hate.
Between the crashing economy, the threat of global war to critical lifeline infrastructure—the power grid, the water supply, the food supply—we’re up against it, big time. Fear is the tool of government tyranny. There has always been corruption, for where there are men and a fountain of cash, there are the grifters. It has always been thus, but it is different this time.
The concentration of weapons-grade information technology, money and power in the hands of so few is unlike anything humanity has ever seen. The levers of state power are controlled by a permanent political class and its global partners in banking, public health and non-profits---the corporate carpet baggers virtue-signaling in pinstripe suits. And that’s not to mention the Department of Defense and the Intel Agencies. Everyday people are enraged and engaged--- for good reason. We are all on the front lines of an information war and the chopping blocks of tyrants.
Complex systems take decades to form and wield immense power. In times of peace, only those paying close attention see the signs. But ever since 2016 when Donald Trump became President, we have witnessed a steady slide into the abyss of division, fear, and the destructive power of the state. Free societies are going full totalitarian. Corporate media stoked fear in citizens in five-part harmony, pitting neighbor against neighbor, son against father. Political fear mongering is a well-financed high art. It is time to wake up and smell the coffee. It is not just what Elon Musk brilliantly calls Woke Mind Virus that afflicts the nation. It is the apathy of an uninformed citizenry that allowed the sixty-year march through our institutions. We can no longer be spectators.
Most people do not aspire to wield state power. They wanna be left alone to raise their families and live in safety. But in a complex, money laundering world, we have let the lunatics run the asylum for far too long. Systemic theft of federal and state treasuries--a heist of generational proportions—has left our nation, the light of the free world--- morally bankrupt. Worse, our children, betrayed by their academic overlords and cultural fascists, are confused, afraid and depressed. Reminds me of the sixties. All that’s missing is the assassinations.
Our American identity, a noble inheritance of moral philosophy and laws to defend individual freedom against unchecked state power, was once shared by nearly everyone, but those days are gone. As more awaken to the utter corruption and abuse of power against foundational civil liberties, our best hope against systemic corruption is to unite in solidarity in support of individual freedom—and the pursuit of your own happiness—so long as you are not denying someone else of those same rights. At its core, a principled pursuit of happiness, with a Don’t Tread on Me, Don’t Tread on Others ethos is the irreducible first principle of a free society. And it’s a big tent with open arms for every American.
In the 1920’s, a young writer named Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum experienced the theft of her family’s small business by the Bolsheviks and the reign of terror that followed. Known by her pen name, Ayn Rand, she clearly saw in her adopted America the moral virtues of a free society and the free markets that made free peoples possible. Her epic novel, ATLAS SHRUGGED, depicted in stark contrast the innovators and builders who made a widely-shared prosperity possible, and the moochers and looters who fed like parasites off the confiscated wealth that such producers created. These ideas were despised by the Keynesian and Malthusian central planning types, and she was targeted as a fascist. No small irony.
Even in the 1950’s, she foresaw the decay of the American ideal, no less than Dwight Eisenhower, who warned us about the military industrial complex. There were others, among them, Aldous Huxley. You can watch fascinating YouTube videos of Ayn Rand and Huxley in The Mike Wallace Interviews from the late 50’s and early sixties (links below). We now know that the CIA was behind the murder of JFK, see Oliver Stone’s JFK Revisited for the unpleasant facts. This pure evil, rationalized in a way only human minds can, gives all of us very good reasons to mistrust our government. This November will mark 60 years since that national trauma and shame of a nation. In any other time, these revelations would have been front page news. But not today, in an age of daily headlines, a cascade of one crisis after another. Yes, that little device in the palm of our hands is a tool of mass mind control, dividing and conquering, addicted as we are to the latest, breaking “news”. One of my favorite memes recently on Twitter was the journalist asking two Amish men why it was that the Amish were spared the devastation of Covid and its deadly vaccines. Their answer? “We don’t watch TV”. Huxley spoke to the irresistible distraction of television and motion pictures, and the special vulnerability of children to propaganda. His dark vision of the Brave New World is the one in which we are living today.
I have been absent from these pages pretty much since the incredible spectacle of the last election. Many reading this are on one side or the other of the deep political theatre that divided us during the long battler to remove Trump from office, and now, to prevent him from running again. But even more disturbing is the government’s unrelenting attempt to smear ordinary dissenting Americans as racists, transphobes and domestic terrorists. The infiltration of federal agents into the censorship industrial complex of social media as reported in the Twitter files is a dark stain upon America’s traditions of individual freedom and free speech. I have voted in every American election since I was old enough to vote. You win some, you lose some. But never have I felt that something was stolen from this country, and it was more than the election. It was the very freedom to express yourself concerns and share it with others--whether right or wrong. History will prove that our election system, the very foundation of representative government, has been corrupted and murdered—just like JFK.
If you have not already read Robert Malone’s stack on 5th Gen Warfare, I highly recommend it. We are all being subjected to military grade psychological warfare, and nothing is what it seems.
Covid was not a natural pathogen, nor was it deadly. The experimental genetic therapy (vaccine) mandated on college students and the employed was not safe and effective. The dramatic rise in all-cause mortality, sudden death, aggressive cancers is not due to long Covid, it is due to immune system injury, suppressed by our public health system, caused by the “vaccine”. Ivermectin is not horse paste, it is the Nobel Prize winning compound that was saving countless lives before the government banned it. January 6th was not a violent insurrection. The Proud Boys were not an armed militia. The crowd was embedded with undercover federal agent provocateurs and Antifa terrorists. Those breaking the glass and opening the doors of the capital were helped from inside. The Qanon Shaman prayed for the Capitol police, you can find all this on the recently released video that was hidden by the partisan J6 committee. Ordinary Americans awaiting trial, pretty much ushered into the Capitol building, are rotting in a DC jail with no bail, while violent criminals are released into our city streets.
For those of you now dismissing me as a conservative wingnut, I am sorry you are still being played by those that care nothing about you. May your sons and daughters, fathers and sons, be spared from the tragic fate so many other families that have experienced tragic losses to corruption of our institutions at every level. I am appealing to all Americans, who do not hate, but still love America for which it stands; For those who still believe that laws, duly enacted by those elected fairly to represent us, are enforced by those sworn to protect and defend the US Constitution, the most brilliant document ever devised for a people who dare to self-govern.
As I have said, “They did not steal our freedoms. We gave them away. Now we’re going to take them back.” It won’t be easy, and it’ll take time. The corruption runs deep and wide throughout our country and the world. But first, we must come together as Americans, loud and proud to renew our shared identity, regardless of party, proud of the freedoms that made us the most generous people on earth. We must elect tough minded reformers, united in love of country and the rights of all people to live and love as they choose, without coercing others. We can no longer tolerate the infestation of corruption, censorship and captured institutions that serve the interests of the political elite, those that have sacrificed our children and loved ones to the whim of unelected bureaucrats and crony corporatists.
We must restate and rally around the First Principles of Freedom and gather all people of good faith to renew our love of each other—and our shared American identity.

Sadly, all true. However, if you think we'll win this "war" without violence, you haven't been paying attention.
