I write a blog for substack called Make Orwell Fiction Again, johannaneuman.substack.com. I too have been blue lately, and have been writing less often, or maybe with less fire. Some days it feels like we've already lost, as if every time we tamp down on an absurdity -- like biological males competing against biological women in sports -- a new one pops up elsewhere, like Disney grooming its young audience to go transgender. I have started reading deeply into the making of the US Constitution, looking for hints of a loophole that would explain how socialism could come to rule our country. Alexander Hamilton, and many others at the 1787 convention, thought the Revolution had sparked "an excess of democracy" among citizens. If only we could summon it now. Thank you for all you take this journey, none more than Dr. Malone.
It's easy to get discouraged. I can predict it is going to get much worse over the next 3 years until we can get a better president. Inflation is just starting. It's going to get much, much worse. If China gets that digital currency going, the world will dump the dollar as the reserve currency. I hate to think about what that will do to our purchasing power. Then there is the mass importation of illegals. A huge crime wave is being imported into the country.
It's easy to get discouraged. However, I have gone back to the history books. It is instructive to learn how many times in the past there were awful times and things looked dim. But...bad times don't last. It is important to hang onto the anchor of faith and refuse to tell or propagate lies. Following the Ten Commandments is the clearest guide to the kind of behavior which will get us through the rough times to better days on the other side.
Harari comes across as truly mad. At the very least, deeply disturbed. How he can stand up and speak to crowds (who look, in audience pans, to be raptly fascinated) using the language he does ... and not be censured (no, not "censored"!) ... is beyond the scope of anything I have ever seen.
EC, I am so sorry. It breaks my heart when I post things on social media about people who have been harmed and people laugh! They are brainwashed! I am angry that religious leaders have held vaccine clinics at churches! They have told people that we must love our neighbors and submit to the shots! At least one said that if Jesus were here, he would be injected! A lot of it is ignorance, but the truth is slowly coming out now. Personally, I have alienated family and I have felt that some Christian friends think this whole covid/vaccine/WEF agenda should not be discussed, that it is "politics." Others have come to realize that what is happening is wrong. I have helped people get ivermectin. I have encouraged a young woman whose entire family was injected and who was being pressured to be injected while pregnant! She does not intend to submit. I will pray for you. What other help do you need? If it is medical, take a look at https://covid19criticalcare.com/
As for your other comment about no one saving people who have been harmed, there are some people who are working to hold the evil people accountable. A German lawyer named Reiner Fuellmich is trying to work through the justice system. Attorney Tom Renz has vowed to bring them to justice. Senator Ron Johnson has been courageous in holding roundtable discussions, which of course, are ignored by mainstream media. Del Bigtree of The Highwire is another who is working tirelessly. There are thousands of doctors and scientists. We have to stand together and encourage each other. We can't do this alone. They may kill me before this is over with, but I hold onto these verses: "For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." (Philippians 1:21) "“I say to you, my friends, don’t fear those who kill the body, and after that can do nothing more. But I will show you the one to fear: Fear him who has authority to throw people into hell after death. Yes, I say to you, this is the one to fear!" (Luke 12:3-5)
True, there's nothing like the brutality of the times to demonstrate how far we haven't progressed. Can't help but think we are all complicit in the fact we made a Faustian bargain with the convenience of Technology.
Have been studying our founding ancestors quite a bit in recent years. They were realists and understood the dangers we faced. This danger of the effects of plutocracy was what inspired them to try. They hoped we citizens would make the necessary improvements. We however have made a Faustian bargain with technology and the convenience of corporatism. Jefferson wrote about this when he wrote (paraphrasing) that is we made a "deal" with monied banks and corporations that our children would go homeless on the very land their ancestors fought and died for. We failed the oversight requirements.
Love that insight about Faustian bargain w tech and Amazon..how true, we are victims of our own success...I've been looking more at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, and there I've found some evidence that the framers wanted to "reign in the revolution" from people who farmed the land. These farmers had won debt forgiveness from the states, who printed paper money, worsening the national war debt. Most telling: there was so much anger in the states about how the proposed constitution made the new federal government too powerful that historians believe the constitution would not have been ratified unless a Bill of Rights had been added, protecting individual and states rights. I keep musing about what they would think now, with Red States going their own way.
Love your comments. I’m just diving into American History and must believe our founding ancestors had great reasons for believing the Federal Government might turn into the real threat to the rights of we the people. They well understood their own and others autocratic impulses.
Would like to know more about this. Don't know much about Tennessesse politics but the recent attempt of Republicans to keep certain candidates off the ballot has got my attention.
In 2016, Tennessee was the 5th state to sign on to the Convention of States. I honestly know almost nothing about it. I first heard it mentioned last year at a Town Hall meeting held by Diana Harshbarger. I occasionally get text messages from the Organization, encouraging me to "get involved"; but since I have virtually no contacts outside my home and since Tennessee has already approved it, I never go to meetings. Here's a link to their website:
I read briefly and it seems one or more of them moved to Tennessee within the last year or two. A whole lot of Republicans who have worn out their shoe leather over many campaigns are tired of carpetbaggers. If anyone knows more please post it.

Harari's words are absolutely chilling, aren't they?

Exactly - finally the actual means to control everyone on earth.

There is something called the Convention of States that might wrest control from Washington, DC. Tennessee signed on to it many years ago.
Would like to know more about this. Don't know much about Tennessesse politics but the recent attempt of Republicans to keep certain candidates off the ballot has got my attention.

Mark Levin is for a convention of the states. I am not so sure. These things can have a way of backfiring.
I read briefly and it seems one or more of them moved to Tennessee within the last year or two. A whole lot of Republicans who have worn out their shoe leather over many campaigns are tired of carpetbaggers. If anyone knows more please post it.
Tennessee also has many misguided “liberals.” They run Nashville.
Everyone has high hopes for this but why do they think it will be controlled exclusively by conservatives?
