I have noticed a demonstrable and significant silence amongst the demoralized in my social circle. I'm not sure they've been de-programmed, but they may have started the progress of re-moralization (if we can use that term) and are embarrassed to admit it. In any case, progress. Just as you don't interrupt an enemy when they're making mistakes, you don't interrupt friends when they've begun the process of reversing theirs.

I think it’s a part of recognizing their “cognitive dissonance.” Democrats were the ones who cared about the little guy – like you and me. It’s unavoidable to see how that is so not true anymore, (or so we think), but for those who see through the veil, it’s embarrassing.

No worries. Let’s all unite to be We the People and fix this mess!!

Thomas Frank, a lifelong Democrat and great writer, was chronicling the party's transformation into corporate power's ruthless executive for some time before Covid and Ukraine. Why they would want to display themselves so obviously as a bunch of rapacious, lying and warmongering psychopaths is baffling, but perhaps that's where hubris kicks in. Frank has been quiet for a while, and I hope he's OK.

Indeed, and We the Peeps should understand that BOTH sides of our stupid tool of a "Two Party System"-- set up IN ORDER TO BE divisive-- are not by, for, nor OF the PEOPLE, but by, for, and of the Filthy Rich!

We will NEVER see the country we want until we stop playing the Game.

I am amazed at the level of head-burying by my demoralized friends. It’s clear that absolutely nothing can happen in reality that will make them vote against the Democrat. Bringing up any political topic is like bringing up trauma for them.

I would imagine they see no other alternative.

We need alternatives to the Non-Choice we're offered.

Trump Derangement Syndrome

I thought the Derangement was much bigger than just Trump...

It is, but as it relates to this election the reason why someone won't vote for trump at this point is either some imaginable standard like "he's not presidential" (whatever that means), or the most recent hoax which is currently convicted felon. As if they would have voted for him but for that current things that the left did...which isn't true. There are just a lot of otherwise rational great people that cannot vote for him under any circumstances.

"We share common ground as Americans".

As an Australian I can tell you we share the same set of demoralizing psyops lies that you guys do. We just don't have guns, the grand canyon and the US CONSTITUTION.

The US Constitution is no longer considered binding, except by the People. The Usurpers running this Shit Show don't give a f_ck about the Constitution... They've taken steps to "undo" it, "legally." So what is "LEGAL" is no longer JUST, TRUE, nor RIGHT.

Nailed it again!

When there are voters who think America is a democracy (like that is a good thing) and do not understand why America’s founders wrote the Constitution to protect us from becoming a democracy, so that the majority does not rule, we are in trouble. But, why did our founders not anticipate what would happen when the tyranny IS the minority, as in the big corporatocracy/big government oligarchy?

But, wait, some of our founders DID Warn us that a big, central government would result in tyranny and become the root of the problem. The problem is most of us (myself included) did not learn this in school. History is written by the victors and the “Anti-Federalists” were not the victors.

So, it’s up to We the People to figure this out. Please, everyone read the Anti-Federalist Papers and let’s then have a conversation about how to get out of this mess!

Could we revise the Articles of the Confederation? With threats of another forever war, at what point do We the People say Enough?

Since our government officials and talking heads taut our system as a civilized representative democracy, voting to change government policy is the only means we have to redress our grievances.

The Congress and Legislatures openly admit that they do not read, examine or debate any of the laws they vote on.

They vote on one hundred - 2,000 page laws per day.

The honest representative admits that they vote the way their advisors tell them to vote.

As responsible Citizens, we must develop a way to evaluate 200 Thousand pages of law speak per day.

This evaluation must be public, transparent and in a form that the representative can view in order make their vote congruent with that of their constituents.

And we must decide who gets to participate in this amplified voting, and how the vote is counted and what specific impact the sacred vote has at the business end of government.

Right now, the first question is:

# 1. Who gets to vote in the: general election?

a. citizens only - Yes No

b. natural born citizens only - Yes No

c. natural born citizens with four natural born grandparents - Yes No

d. naturalized citizens (legal immigrants) - Yes No

e. legal immigrants not yet naturalized - Yes No

f. anyone with a drivers license – Yes - No

"What lies opened your eyes?"

The anti-nuclear stance of the media for the last 50 years is what opened my eyes. For decades I didn't give it a lot of thought, but when "climate change" became a thing, and wind/solar were the annointed solutions, I started actively wondering at the insanity.

Which led to questioning, why there were always a crowd of folks ready to pop up in protest at the slightest nuclear excuse? Where did all the money come from for the stacks of water bottles and snacks and coverage? How is there always an antinuclear spokesperson on tap and ready to provide a sound bite or pithy quote to "journalists"?

The work of Rod Adams over at atomicinsights helped my thinking considerably and emphasized the "follow the money" item.

Now I see the same pattern, money, unaccountable NGOs, liars in journalists' rolodexes from said NGOs, infiltrators from NGOs in government administrative rule making jobs, and no accounting for who is funding this very influential structure, in so many different topics beyond anti-nuclearism.

Exactly! In my own little corner, medicine, I find it amusing when parents think that doctors *just* went crooked a couple years ago. It’s funny how many don’t trust a word from the AAP about trans stuff, but take all their advice on antidepressants and ADHD meds as gospel… But it’s just the latest version of the same scam. Only difference is sunlight….

“ The back-to-back blows of affirmation and vaccination demonstrate that most pediatricians have abandoned the practice of weighing costs and benefits. What made them think they could get away with such disregard? Well, for the straightforward reason that they’ve been doing it for decades.”

Fantastic work. A few suggestions:

Since your stuff is so good, readers will want to forward it to their “normie” friends and family. These people who read you for the first time may be put off or confused by your “comrades” schtick. They won’t get it. Libs can’t meme. They’ll think you’re a communist named Yuri, and won’t understand that it’s a pen name.

Define your terms, abbreviations and acronyms, or spell them out. Each time, each post. A normie (a person only exposed to mainstream propaganda) probably does not know the term “MSM” (Mainstream Media) for example.

The cites to your own work (previous articles) in the middle of the current article are too big and long, and distracting. Older people get lost in these posts, and cannot follow the train of thought.

Just suggestions!

Thank you for your work, and your consideration, “comrade”. AGGGH no, stop using that word, it’s funny but I guarantee it is hurting your subscriber count here in America. We hear “comrade”, and it has very negative connotations.

The MSM has also been lying for decades about Israel, Iran, Palestinians, the UN, and more.

In Iran, there are no reformist candidates - it's an imperialist Islamist dictatorship run by Khamenei and the IGRC that murders, lies, and continuously commits crimes against humanity, including its own population, which hates it more than east Europeans hated the Communists.

Israel is the most successful decolonization project, for what its worth, seeing the return to sovereignty of an exiled indigenous population whose recorded presence in the Land goes back well over three millennia. No Israeli is "illegal" -- regardless of where he or she lives. Israel's Arab neighbors are the true apartheid regimes where Jews are not allowed to live, let alone exercise any basic human rights -- and where Christians are regularly abused and humiliated. Meanwhile, Israeli Muslims, Christians, and Druze are full citizens and represented in all sectors of the economy, government, and military (well, other than the Rabbinate).

There is no starvation of Gaza, nothing remotely close to genocide, and no systemic war crimes. No other army in the history of humanity has achieved as low a non-combatant-to-fighter-killed ratio. Although most Gazans ghoulishly celebrated the massacres and abductions of Oct. 7th, only Hamas targets have been systemically targeted. It's been Hamas's stated psychopathic policy to sacrifice as many Gazans as needed to achieve their goal - the destruction of Jewish presence in the Jewish homeland.

UNRWA is a terrorist organization prolonging and entrenching the conflict. No other conflict has produced such a fat and demented welfare (yas!) queen as UNRWA. It receives more money that any other UN agency and has been using it to support terrorism and poison the minds of generations of Arabs under the guise of "humanitarian assistance."

Have you noticed how all of the worst wokist movements get infected with Palestianism? And they WELCOME it with open arms! Curiously, most right-leaning warriors fighting the Commies, Islamists, and assorted allies never seem to help out their Israeli brethren. Sadly, many of them are leprous with antisemitism. Heal thyself!

The official narrative, including about history, has always been a lie. In my understanding, lies can stop people from thinking altogether, but there is more:

Great article Yuri. However...

https://watchmanscry.com/?p=6550 Trump is an ACTOR, Hollywood Hall of Fame Star in the sidewalk, WWE wrestler, corrupt protégé of Cohen, Wailing Wall kissing Zionist, Mason, pussy grabber and Lucifarian with his black cubes, 666 aligned trees, Arc of the Covenant replica and chessboard floors. The pantomime to divide and conquer, Red v Blue is building up a head of steam. Biden worse. Wake up folks. Am in the UK, if you guys fall, everyone does.
