Vivek Ramaswamy, himself a closet Globalist, mocks Nikki Haley-”Nikki Haley is now psychotically claiming that Putin’s birthday is on Oct 7 & that’s somehow related to Hamas’ attack on Israel. You can see the $$ signs flashing in her eyes. She needs to publish her tax returns & clients of her defense contractor - now.”

Increasingly, Biden's desire to make nice with the Iranians in order to keep global energy prices down ahead of the 2024 election is translating to a posture of 'looking the other way'—and some analysts worry it's too late to reestablish deterrence.
The Commander-in-Chief hasn't so much as ordered a military response when American warships in waters off Yemen themselves come under direct attack. Again, this is what has deeply frustrated Pentagon leaders, who feel handcuffed. In its fresh commentary, WSJ points to the reality and immediate consequences of the US Navy coming under attack, but failing to respond or decisively hit back:
Recently the news broke that the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Carney had fended off several missile and drone attacks in the Red Sea. While Biden administration officials tried to frame the battle, for a battle it surely was, as the Carney’s defending nearby merchant ships, it seems clear that Iranian-supplied Houthis were targeting the Carney directly as well as the commercial ships it was accompanying.
This was only one of several recent assaults on American naval assets in the region. They have happened despite the presence of the Ford carrier strike group in the eastern Mediterranean and the Eisenhower strike group in the Gulf of Aden—a conventional level of naval deterrence that should have reduced aggressive activities by U.S. enemies. Instead, Iran attacked American ships and allies.

We are an Occupied country, Americans are brainwashed by Propaganda and Entertainment Propaganda. Delusional in regarding elections are legitimate, the few alert ones certain if Trump triumphs or Bobby the Great Pretender the Globalist coup will be Rolled Back! Absurd. A coup can not be dissolved before the Union crumbles and that certain states remaining Loyalists will form a new union totally under Globalist control much greater than seen today despite politicians loyalty to the Borg. With luck we do not have a shooting war if Texas votes for Independence and a year later does give it a go.
The Pandemic I believe still is generating a new era of strong Authoritarianism. In Poland for example-"It's Like Martial Law" – Poland's Pro-EU Govt Seizes Public News Channels In Massive Police Raid. “This is the most brutal taking of power ever in the EU, with the government using force, assaulting MPs and shutting down media they do not like”
In Australia-The Australian Government’s proposed new laws to crack down on misinformation and disinformation have drawn intense criticism for their potential to restrict free expression and political dissent, paving the way for a digital censorship regime reminiscent of Soviet Lysenkoism...

The climate dictatorship or Great Reset is trying to hook the Western world to an imaginary world where everything is ‘green‘, meaning no coal, no fossil fuels, and no nuclear power for energy, food control, which will leave the Western world with no industry, no jobs, and most of all, loss of property and income.
According to Wikipedia, and this time they are right in describing the transformation as seen and implemented by the World Economic Forum (WEF) in cooperation with the UN:
“Ecoauthoritarianism, short for ecological authoritarianism, is a political thought arguing for the inevitability and necessity of measures that defy democracy and even commonly accepted human rights in general. The common denominator in ecoauthoritarian thought is the focus on sustainability and the belief that democracy cannot secure survival. Though other regime types are imaginable, the majority of scholars suggests a meritocratic system, although some have suggested a climate dictatorship. Instead of a democratic rule, politicians would be chosen according to their expertise. Democracy would be replaced by policies guided by science and ecological necessity. “
Ellul: We are fed information. The result is a general attitude that we do not think we are capable of caring for our own needs. The commercializing of life is not an end. It is experienced as a means of gaining information and acting upon the world (an illusion). We become consumers because what ought to produce our initiative is inhibited by excess of information. “Consumers are not the decision makers. The decision makers are not those who pay. Those who pay are not consumers.” Information leads to obligatory consumption in the same way as suburban living leads to the obligatory use of the automobile. The lack of consumer power has often been stressed.
Consumers take what the producers give them. But this lack begins with a failure to find out what is useful. The mass of unimportant information which is circulated produces the passive consumer attitude. Educated as they are, consumers constantly want more. It is only thus that they feel they are alive. They swallow the information even though they later disgorge it and seek something new, as they also seek every technical innovation that is presented as indispensable and redemptive.

The Journal of Lingering Sanity is a reader-supported publication. We are beholden to truth not party. “The time has come," the Journal said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings— And why the sea is boiling hot— And whether pigs have wings."
Example; I as a consumer can buy a grounding mat for my computer, about 50-75 dollars. I can make a grounding mat for about 20 dollars. Or I can simply walk barefoot on the ground outside a few times a day. I am opting for making my own and also walking outside, though it's winter now. A slight improvement, perhaps.
I’ve been down so long it looks like up to me.😂. I’m frugal to a certain degree and spendthrift in other aspects of my lifestyle. I have maybe $100 “extra” money per month if not working. I’m pleased though because I’m happy with not needing so many things that people chase.
