Just watched this video that was posted a month ago. It’s a short reminder that this isn’t the first contested presidential election and how that one turned out for the democrats (you can read my thoughts on the video by setting the comment section to “Newest First.”) Watch
I’ve been reading an interesting book that has been out of print for a while. Written in 1943, “The Machiavellians” by James Burnham. You can view it for yourself for free at the Internet Archive. I’m about halfway, having just finished a section on the importance of maintain societal myths.
I bring this up now because I’ve been wondering, where do we go from here? It seems nothing is going to stop the democrats from installing their demented idiot next week and marginalizing voices in opposition in the process. Are states really going to secede from the union again, sparking off a second civil war? Are we really going to the polls again, relying on our authorities to let us participate in a free and fair election next time?
What about something in between? A way to force reform that restores confidence in our electoral process. What about a general strike by the deplorables to force our government to incorporate the necessary safeguards that will protect the sanctity of our vote? Unless something is done to address the grievances of the 75 million who voted for a second term for the president, we are headed for an economic shut down, the likes of which the lock downers of COVID never foresaw as being possible.
Fasten you’re seat belts, put on a crash helmet, adjust your jock strap, it might get bumpy.
If Biden were President in the 1860’s we would be citizens of the CSA. I think they are beginning to see that they don not have as much nationwide support as they thought they had.
I hate to be Debby Downer but I believe the next decade is already lost.
Covid will take us into 2022.
Blowden will be 25th, setting up BJ Harris.
Bitch likely has already amassed 80 million votes in the Dominion servers for 2024.
Jackwagons like Lizzy-Lesbo Cheney are already trashing any remaining republican voters.
2022 is far too soon for any meaningful election reform.
2024? 2028? Already in the books as far as the swamp goes.
AOC will be president before any republican can even sniff the White House again.
Please don’t shoot the messenger. I hate this shit!
If this mess isn’t cleaned up by Trump, there will be no more trust in the American government without massive bloodshed.
Maybe we should dox the law firms and companies that have dropped Paler. If they are so unsupportive of Freedom of Speech then maybe they should be acknowledged for their efforts.
I’m half way there with Loco. You know what they say, it’s not the first guy that stands up, it’s the second. We’re to comfortable. And after we’re walking up the ramp into the box car, it’s to late.
I can’t believe the Republicans actually think we are going to vote for them again. Hannity has his talking points of not giving up after so many people have called in and said “f*ck this, I’m done.” Rush has said the same.
The R party is busted and broken. Rinos don’t see it yet. Maybe they’ll negotiate enough stolen votes with the Left to make it look like they are making a comeback. It’ll be the only way they can get any votes now.
The answer is to go Galt and starve the beast. They can and will pound down those who stand up but they are powerless against someone who does nothing. Going Galt is the only thing they are powerless to stop. Before you get giddy at the thought of winning by doing nothing you have to consider the problem of personal debt. All this debt has made people into a bunch of debt slaves who are unable to join John Galt.
By the way, how many thousands of troops in Washington D.C. does it take these days to conduct a peaceful transfer of presidential power? 7,000? 10,000, 20,000?
Dont need a general strike; just an embargo on trucking food and medicine and asswipe into all centers of Deploring elites
Also cut off power and water to Oppressor areas. That would bring them to their knees. These people have power because they spent their lives networking. Their strength is acting in concert
But individually they’re weak
7 Days.
I’m going to hold my optimism, 7 days, that this shit is going to blow up.
The dead line is “high noon” Jan 20.
It’s not going to be good either way.
Reminds me of a song I learned at an early age:
Be, BE, BE prepared……..
1. Someone on the inside has a come-to-Jesus moment, steps forwards, and blows the whole fucking thing wide open in a way that can’t possibly be denied. (Best Case scenario, but probably not gonna happen.)
2. Someone kicks off American Civil War 2.0, and what happens then depends on what the end goal(s) is/are. Keep in mind that the point of the leftists taking over public education was not just to create hordes of lo-info voters, but also ensure that the military is full of drones who don’t know history or civics and won’t think to question the lawfulness of the orders they’re given. You CANNOT count on the military to do the right thing, especially the officers.
3. We become something like Venezuela and begin our descent into hell, eventually eating all of the zoo animals after we’ve scrounged everything edible from the landfills.
4. We become something like France during the Reign of Terror. AOC can be Robespierre. (She’d probably be thrilled at the idea, as she has no idea who he was or what ultimately happened to him.)
5. We become something like Ireland in the 1970s, the Balkans in the 1990s, or sub-Saharan Africa at pretty any time in history, with constant bloody inter-tribal warfare with no clear winner for decades or even centuries.
6. The S.M.O.D. (Sweet Meteor of Death) finally arrives; there’s an “Andromeda Strain”-type outbreak globally; Jesus returns; there’s an actual zombie apocalypse; or someone sets off a nuke (accidentally or otherwise) that finally kicks off WW3 and global armageddon.
Democrat?
Never.
Republican?
Not since January 4.
Color me unpredictable, motherf@cling career pols.
Well, Dr., I’ve argued for a Constitutional Convention called by the States under Article V. And it seems our current Federal election disaster makes that advisable.
But for reasons I don’t understand, people don’t want to talk about this, even though some years ago, 27-28 States already passed standing resolutions calling for one.
An Amendment to the Constitution specifically outlining how FEDERAL elections are to be held in ALL states, with no exceptions, including descriptions of voting method, monitoring procedures, tabulation procedures, Congressional certification, auditing and penalties for parties who violate it.
We can start the discussion right here. Anyone?
At this point, the question of fighting a stolen election seems to be looking backward since Biden is going to be inaugurated on Jan 20. But I hope you’ll offer this up for discussion again once we see what happens w/ impeachment proceedings (and what Repubs do during those proceedings), and once we see whether Trump declassifies everything, and once we see if Biden is given any reason to invoke the insurrection act.
Civil disobedience at every turn.
Trump rallies thst never end.
Walk away from the GOP.
Strictly vote with your pocketvook.
Relentlessky work to expose the swamp’s fruadulent voting system.
Stsrt discussing secession.
>An Amendment to the Constitution specifically outlining how FEDERAL elections are to be held in ALL states, with no exceptions,
Amen.
Dr Tar, I took the question to mean “What can we do right now?” and since it’s a very fluid situation, a lot seems to depend on what unfolds over the next week or so.
Guinness Girl
Yes. You’re on the right tract. The conversation has currently switched from this threads topic to what are we going to do after they arrest Trump.
Jimmy – My main opposition to a CC is that once in it they pretty much could be free to actually throw out the Constitution. It was a similar Convention that lead us away from the Articles of Confederation that resulted in the Constitution. We don’t have nearly a third of the good people they had back then who we could trust to do the right thing. Having a CC provides too much power to do far more harm than anything We The People want or need.
Menotu, I agree. If a Constitutional Convention is called, it will be used as a mechanism by the Left. It is in their playbook and has been used in every country where they have applied that playbook. Do you really trust your state legislatures after this election?
Menotu – that’s been the primary objection by most for many years. Perhaps we’ll get desperate enough to try it, anyway. It’s also a way of saying “people can’t be trusted.” And my thought there is, fine. Then let’s start completely over in any manner that works out, good or bad, where people CAN be trusted. I think it could be good. Could be, but no guarantee. Everyone wants a guarantee.
I don’t.
I want everything DEPOLITIZED. Money, banking, education, medicine, the professions…
I’ll go to bed and dream about it.
Thank You Bush Clan! One and all; thanks a million!
There’s not much I can say about the future but there is one thing that is guaranteed. I will never be walking up the ramp to a box car. I’ve had a great life and would not trade for a few more weeks of existence.
And second on that list is I will never vote for a Republican again. If there is no Trump Party candidate running, I will vote for the dem to accelerate the burn.
I think whatever movement on our side occurs, it can’t be centered around Trump. It needs to be about the people, conservatism, Bill of Rights, and 1st/2nd amendments.
The movement needs to hit state legislatures to turn around this mess of mail in ballots and they need to take their power back from the gov and sec of states. The state legislatures are to be so much more powerful than they are.
I say it doesn’t need to be centered around Trump, because they are coming after all conservatives and anybody that doesn’t think like them. We don’t need to defend Trump, we need to defend ourselves, our ideals, our rights, our voices, etc.
Atlas Shrugged.
I’d love to see the republican party never get another vote. ONe election where they’re all out. Ok, so we have to go through a bad time for awhile. But then maybe we’d get republicans who understand that they have to take our side or they are OUT, for good!
But no. It won’t happen. The next election, they’ll spend the last few months telling us that this is the ‘most important election of our lifetimes bs, and then republican voters will vote all of the backstabers back in. I can almost guarantee that mitt romney will get reelected.
this is why i do not vote.
I used to think Az voters were my enemy because they kept electing mccain.
But then i realized that the whole republican party is my enemy. Because they all vote for mccain, mcconnnell, liz cheney. etc. I have nothing in common with these voters.
Invoke the 10th.
Kill the Traitors.
Hold a verifiable election (photo ID, thumbprint on Registration and Ballot, iron-clad chain of custody, capital punishment for fraud – both ends).
Simple – but not easy.
izlamo delenda est …
If NOTHING ELSE, but there was SO much more, President Trump helped make it painfully obvious that our government and judicial offices are completely corrupt. It is painful to think about what he endured in the face of so much corruption.
I can not imagine that Trump will just roll over peacefully. That simply is not him. So, we should have his back all the way. He was there for us when we needed him. Now is the time to return the favor.
The plain truth is that for whatever reason the Lord God Almighty is ushering in the End Times.
Life in a free republic was lost on Nov 3. They now control the voting booth and both political parties.
They control all the apparatus of existence now, the federal government, the banks, the corporations, the media, the entire education system (from kindergarten to Doctorate), the internet, the military, the entertainment industry, the Healthcare industry, pretty much everything but food and trucking.
And even if farmers and truckers were to strike they would simply federalize both and own them also.
The only firewall now is guns and ammo..and you can take it to the bank that with 2 new states and a packed Supreme Court they will be coming for yours.
They will dox, cancel, purge, bankrupt and ruin every and any individual who resido, We are already witnessing an institution of a social credit score.
They will arrest, bankrupt destroy PDJT as an example to educate the small fry who resist.
If you don’t see the start of this already you are not paying attention.
In the end all of our current constitutional rights will be abrogated.
They will use plagues and climate to kill our freedom of movement, assembly, worship, expression, self defense, and ownership of private property.
China will oversee our conversion to full blown communism and all Christians and patriots will be exterminated.
So succession is our only option now and Texas is the only state with the balls and legal right to do it.
Prepare yourselves IOTWers, its revolution now or slavery.
They, being the establishment, aren’t listening. Today, we are still citizens. By the time these jokers get done with their agenda, we’ll be reduced to subjects. The American republic hangs by a thread.
Once Biden gets sworn in, Schumer and company remove the filibuster and Pelosi will pass to HR1, all it will take is for the Schumer Senate and usurper president to rubber stamp the bill and that will be when historians will talk of the American Republic in the past tense. I don’t think it can be stopped, but we can make our opposition know.
That’s why a general strike is going to be our last remaining, peaceful option to oppose them. It may even force them to reform our election protections to the point that citizens will want to participate.
The foreseeable future looks like they are going to destroy our ability to select our leaders in any meaningful way to where we become subjects to our government not citizens to our nation.
All general strike will do is isolate and identify the strike leaders for incarceration. The taking of the capitol was a general strike, and they are rounding every signal participants as we speak with the exception of the antifa plants that initiated the action.
The assumption a strike would be meaningful is based on the idea we are still currently free, we are not as of Jan 20. Any and all resistance actions taken after 20 Jan will only be an excuse to purge you, which they will be doing to all of us soon.
The CIA has been tracking each of us since we first posted on IOTW, I respect you Dr Tar tremendously but succession or revolution is our only option now, most of us will be dead or rounded up anyway so we may as well go down fighting.
Its gonna come at all of us with blinding speed of true satanic hatred once a senile pervert becomes the President.
Stock up on non-perishable foodstuffs/household items first. And of course you’ve already obtained a firearm/ammunition, and acquainted yourself with its safe operation. It’s going to be a long winter.
A strike might have some effect, as Mike Bloomberg could NOT teach the Dems to grow food and the city soy boys don’t know how to drive anything, let alone a tractor trailer. If everyone who actually makes, moves, or fixes tangible things (aka 80million+ Trump voters) quit providing those goods and services to the urban and suburban areas, it might get the attention of the politicians and the rest of the nonproducers (whose student debt they want us to pay off).
But then, what have you got? A temporary position of strength from which to negotiate with people who have been exposed as deceitful, power hungry, and vengeful? I am not optimistic.
In the meantime, I remain on facebook, never posting or liking or commenting on anything political –while I watch ‘friends,’ neighbors, and even some family members post and cackle and smirk about ruining the lives and livihoods of people who believe as I quietly do. It’s a horror show but at least I know who not to trust –and who I am not obligated to help.
@ Jimmy Yes! Although not the same as a Constitutional Convention, I found this article quite informative:
https://completechristianity.blog/2021/01/08/convention-of-states-the-only-way-forward-now/
You must understand that the global cabal will use every single resistance effort as simply a lever to justify exerting more control to crush dissenters. That is how Marxism works,foment dissenters to act and then ruthlessly crush them.
Think it won’t happen here, we can only take our guns and vote with our feet now by congregation in states of like minded individuals to succeed or revolt.
We do control the bread basket for now, but they use every “crisis” as a way to dominate and control aka Wu Flu…
They have already created a crisis of “hate” and “racism” to dox, and brand patriotism.
The truth is only about 3% of us have the courage to pick up a rifle and fight. In my 34 years as a Soldier I can inform you that the arc of history does not bend towards justice it bends toward corruption and control of the population because thus world belongs to Satan.
I do not doubt the individual courage of my fellow IOTWers, but the vast majority of citizens will submit and relinquish their freedoms willingly. Don’t believe me? Just use Covid as your guide.
We will soon see Covid passports to purchase goods and services or travel, or congregate. The mark of the beast is coming to all.
This is the beginning of the end times for patriots and Christians since the vast majority of patriots are Christians.
Those whom cackle and smirk will be tomorrow’s informants not that the cabal needs them. They have identified all of us who will resist already, now prepare yourself to submit or be purged.
The speed and ferocity of the purge will shock this nation, hopefully enough to start the second American revolution.

I have had this book sitting there waiting for me to get to it.

I am just a third of the way through it, but it lays out the argument that I make regarding the progressive movement being actively opposed to The Good. I have been making the argument that anyone who votes for their agenda is at the very least complicit in a program of increasing innocent human suffering, misery and death. I recognized the dynamic in play, but did not have the background to name it. This author explains Critical Theory and does so in context of the times we are living in. He describes it as Satanic, I describe it as diabolical. I recognized what is in play, w/o having the scholarly background he has. I can recommend this book unreservedly.
One simply cannot look back at the last century of what happens each and every time the left gains critical mass and gets control of the levers of power and implements it’s agenda and claim ignorance. To be ignorant of hundreds of millions of innocent human deaths, and unquantifiable suffering and misery that came about as a DIREECT RESULT of them having the power to implement their worldview demands willful ignorance at best, or what I claim (with good reason) is complicity of a wicked and evil movement motivated by a compulsion to increase innocent human suffering, misery and death here on earth. That would be bad enough if it were their end game, but it isn’t. Their ultimate desire is to separate as many souls from God as they can, condemning as many to spend all eternity in hell with them as possible.
