The collective insanity that’s rapidly erasing
America

Original Article

Many of us older than half a century no longer recognize the country we grew up in. We have a hard time reconciling that past America with what we see happening today. America, to our view, was predominantly a place of light, freedom, and joy. Now, as we witness a massing storm of iniquity, we either don’t understand what we’re seeing or we choke back the language to describe it because the words all sound too harsh or politically incorrect. We look for other demons to blame such as Socialism, and Marxism, and while they are definitely part of the problem,

The wonderful America we once knew, even my daughter in her forties remembers, is gone. The Democrat party aka Democrat Communist party and it's running dogs in the media despise our country and want it brought low. The Party will steal, deceive and even kill for this cause. Seth Rich, murdered on a public street with pockets full of money and a $5k wrist watch left unrobbed, was meant to send a message to those not loyal. Local police in the case...worthless. Folks, keep the 2nd Amendment, you're going to need it.

Yeah, I know the world has lost its mind. Now what are we going to do about it? Reading conservative media is now like reading the world's longest weather report. "Yeah, it's hot out there. Really hot. And it's still hot . . . Boy is it hot . . . Still hot . . . And we've stayed just as hot a we were minutes ago . . . Because it's hot . . . . "

What is far worse than not finding the words to accurately describe the problems that are the topic of the article, is the lack of words describing the one and only solution to said problems. It's not that no one knows what is required by the majority American population to save our country, it is the cowardly unwillingness to articulate it much less organize to act on it. So on we go railing about socialists and Marxists and generic criminals, while we slide further into the abyss, from which there will be no return to America the Beautiful. Chanting MAGA with no articulable roadmap to operationalize making America great again is nothing more than political sloganeering, which is OK if one still believes that Normal Americans can still vote their way out of the determined, lawless insurgency being carried out real time by the left.

FTA ‘’We deny God and accommodate evil’’ Doesn’t that say it all? If more people believed God and that we will be held accountable before him then it would show in our actions. I choose to love God and good.

The People on the Right are all talk and little action. Just like the Republicans they vote for. The left will do anything to win. The Right will not lower themselves by fighting back. The left steals, burns and murders. The Right files lawsuits. The left is not afraid to get arrested. The Right is afraid of losing their jobs, their big homes, their fancy cars. Bottom line, to the Right, Freedom just isn't worth the hassle.

Really?? Freedom isn't worth the hassle?? Sadly, a LOT of people sure do act like that is how they think. But how many of those, who don't want to be bothered, have truly thought about the consequences of such thinking?? How many actually REALIZE "what a hassle" they will have once their freedom is completely gone?! Probably none. And who cares if they monitor our phones, social media and all....? They cannot and will not come after us all, especially if we stand by our fellow patriots. If you are really worried, do most of your planning in person. Set up weekly meetings. True red-blooded Americans NEVER used to cower to threats. That is not our heritage. Have we all become yellow-bellied, lily-livered cowards in just one or two generations?? Maybe even in less time?? As the good Lt. Governor of North Carolina reminded us in his speech, we Americans ran TOWARD the danger (the burning skyscrapers) to save others on 9-11-2001. We Americans came together in a time of crisis. Now, just 20 years later, many of those people have become so cowardly that they are scared to simply speak the truth for fear of being ostracized or maybe someone will put a bad mark on their "permanent record", eh? . WTH?? Why have we ALLOWED the manipulators to condition us into complying with their insanity? They WANT us to be afraid and we are giving them just what they want by staying silent. Some of those shaking in their boots keep hoping someone will save them, but they are delusional. NOBODY will save us unless we save ourselves first. So, what are you going to do? What are you waiting for?? Do you really want to wait until it's too late to avoid massive bloodshed and suffering?? The longer we wait, the more certain there will be death and destruction that could take hundreds of years to heal. However, there is still a chance we can avoid the horrors that are likely to come if we continue on this path. But WE ALL MUST ACT NOW! No more complacency. No more capitulation. NO more fear!! Our forebearers risked everything and many sacrificed their lives and limbs to keep our people free. Let us not let their sacrifices be in vain. Protect our American heritage and carry on the legacy of our forebearers. We were a great people. Let us return to that greatness and show the world there was a reason we were once he envy of the world! One final word...yes, one of the reasons our country had been exceptional was because we WERE a moral society and the majority of us had faith in God, regardless of our chosen individual religion. Now, it seems materialism has superceded our spiritual lives. As we take up our virtual "arms" (i.e. organize, speak out and speak up, spread the truth, demand real justice, fight corruption, stop manipulation, etc.), let us also re-focus on our spiritual lives too and strengthen our relationship with our Higher Power (however you may define it). Doing so will help strengthen our resolve to do what is right and help us to act upon it.

We are becoming what many of us aspired to become back in those halcyon '60s. Everyone wanted peace, and whether it was the US patrolling the world beat as policeman or the UN peacekeepers in hot spots, we were all for peace. And then we watched such programs as Star Trek...where everyone was prosperous, tolerant and looking out...and humanity was a global kumbaya. There are no US flags on the Starship Enterprise. We were part of that United Federation of Planets. We demanded "values" be taught in school. And they were. Just not yours. And for most it was tolerable, if not desired. Good citizenship meant questioning and exposing government, whether LBJ's or Nixon's. Not so much today as the solutions to social issues is conformity of thought, mainly by restructuring the majority view with pop culture propaganda and government programs. We are introduced to a series of "life events" that shape thought...like COVIDS, with masks and lockdowns until saved by government-spurred/financed vaccines. We all become "heroes" for playing along, some more celebrated than others. And then we all are exposed to mega-debt when the government issues TRILLIONS in "stimulus" it doesn't have. The big question was "Where's mine?". Our GOPe saviors negotiated a TRILLION DOLLAR infrastructure bill into a $1.2 TRILLION deal after bloviating about no more than $650 billion. Run those currency presses until they melt. #11 has a real point...conservatives conserve.

Our condition was well described by the disciple Paul a couple of thousand years ago. Read Romans 1:18-32. Paul goes on to tell us that we cannot dig ourselves out of our pit of degradation. Only the grace of God through Jesus can save us.

This period in time will only make our nation stronger. We have reached the tipping point. Americans will not roll over and succumb to defeat. There's a groundswell of opposition to the wickedness from the left. It's picking up momentum around the country. Everyday we hear about a brave momma bear coming forward to protect her cubs. Watch for mothers of this country lead the way out of this mess. The Feminazi gang is in for a reckoning from God. Courage is contagious. When a brave man or woman takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened. Billy Graham

This is the result of Cultural Marxism. Our Democrats are Marxists who do not believe in private property. An oligarchy of Rothschilds and tech giants have made a pact with the Marxists in a modern synthesis. The same egalitarian poison of fraternity of the French Revolution has now found a racial expression. But only as recently as 2019 we were fine, at peace and accumulating fabulous amounts of private wealth by following Nationalist policies. What happened is that the Globalists and race baiters had to remove Donald J. Trump. First they came for the statues and suddenly we have a gulag of political prisoners in the federal prisons of Washington D.C. to protect the stolen election. The solution is to restore Western Civilization and individual Nation-States. Thank you dear President Donald Trump for showing the way.

It's ignorance, either self imposed or by design of the media and our educational system. Most people do not pay attention to anything outside their personal social agenda and if they do, its superficial and the information is absorbed through soundbites. Without knowledge it is impossible to engage in critical thinking even if there were the motivation to do so. Worse young people are not trained to analyze or problem solve, but accept any new liberal directive as true simply because it contradicts that which was previously established. Decades of educational propaganda and educational mismanagement cannot be undone. A superficial entertainment oriented society and a radically biased media are now permanent fixtures of American life. You only have to be vocal and threatening with good media coverage to obtain political power. The message is irrelevant. Shout and riot and you've got congressmen always looking for votes in your pocket waiting to create a new protected class of people, legalize indoctrination and dole out the money. Elections have consequences, even fraudulent elections.

Look up: Augean Stables in Greek Mythology. I've seen it used as a metaphor for what needs to be done in all our institutions; only it is not 30 years of dung that has to be shoveled out, or washed away, it is 40 or 50 years of it. Too many in our institutions, though, do not want to change a thing; they seem to like becoming weaker and weaker and smaller and smaller. We need a giant fire hose to get rid of all the deadwood while we still have time.

COVID shutdowns championed by U.S. governors and D.C. bureaucrats are responsible for destroying nearly 40% of small businesses since the virus was unleashed on the world—and we know now that it was for little to no damned good reason. A study by the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences revealed recently that shutdown orders made little to no difference in COVID’s impact. From the abstract of the study: “Previous studies have claimed that shelter-in-place orders saved thousands of lives, but we reassess these analyses and show that they are not reliable. We find that shelter-in-place orders had no detectable health benefits, only modest effects on behavior,

I've known for well over a year now that we had an effective treatment for COVID-19. Hundreds of thousands of Americans could have been saved. I knew about this simple, safe, inexpensive treatment with remarkable results because I've had a dozen brilliant doctors as guests on my nationally syndicated radio show, "Wayne Allyn Root: Raw and Unfiltered" on USA Radio Network, to talk about their success using Hydroxychloroquine on patients sick with COVID-19. But one stood out over all others. His name is Dr. Vladimir Zelenko. Here is an excerpt from a column I wrote last summer on the alleged efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine.

They enjoy America’s freedom of press while kowtowing to China’s CCP politics. My book “Breaking the News” reveals this Commie Cash grab,” Marlow wrote on social media on Thursday, thanking radio host Glenn Beck for having him on his program this week.

I’ve never been a Bill Maher fan because his politics and mine diverge so completely. However, I’ve always given Maher credit for having the courage to speak out against the mindless leftists who – let’s be honest – make up his fan base. He was back Friday night with a monologue telling his fellow progressives to get over their “progressophobia.” That term, from the Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker, refers to progressives who, when they see actual progress, refuse to acknowledge it. In his almost nine-minute-long monologue, Maher points out that America has embraced most progressive causes,

In his motion for a new trial, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, through his attorney Eric Nelson, made an obvious point. Quoting case law, Nelson reminded the court of “the prosecutor’s inherently unique role in the criminal justice system, which mandates that the prosecutor not act as a zealous advocate for criminal punishment, but as the representative of the people in an effort to seek justice.” Had the State prosecutors set out to honor this mandate and seek justice, they would not have presented the medical evidence they did. In fact, they would not have charged Derek Chauvin with second-degree murder or charged his colleagues as accomplices.

US President Joe Biden appeared to breach royal protocol during his first meeting with the Queen. Royal protocol usually dictates members of the Royal Family should be the last to arrive at an event and the first to leave. However, Mr Biden and the US First Lady Dr Jill Biden arrived at yesterday's reception a few minutes after the Queen. An expert warned "everyone" should arrive before the royals at ceremonial events - and nobody should leave before them at the end. It marks a blooper for the gaffe-prone president during his first royal meeting since entering the White House.

A new study seems to confirm that former President Donald Trump may very well have been right about hydroxychloroquine. According to the observational study published on MedRxiv that surveyed 255 patients infected with the coronavirus and requiring intermittent mandatory ventilation, weight-adjusted hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin improved the survival of such patients by nearly 200 percent. “Most Covid studies have not considered days of therapy, cumulative dose, or weight-adjusted dosing. We found that when the cumulative doses of two drugs, HCQ and AZM, were above a certain level, patients had a survival rate 2.9 times the other patients,” the study noted in its conclusion.

Sadly (for Biden), Joe Manchin and other Democrat Senators have been a thorn in their side, promising to never vote to end the filibuster.
