They Lie. They All Lie. They All Lie All Of The Time.

[6/30/23 in Suburban Northern New Jersey]

They think we are stupid and can focus on a topic, no matter how intense and infuriating, for a finite (and very short) amount of time. They think that we will fall back into our comfortable patterns in consumption -- shopping and viewing and reading -- and will resume the funding of their society-destroying manipulation of everything traditional, religious, spiritual, masculine...

All of this erosion of our soul as a country is in service to a larger mindset whose bedrock is power, no matter how they obfuscate. And not just power, but centralized power. Governmental, corporate power over everything we do. That the lines between corporations and governments are blurring is not a coincidence. And the progression from a free people to an enslaved one will go through that evil cabal doing each other's bidding: the corporation pushing the latest culture-eroding policy in exchange for some tax or regulatory relief, and restocking the revolving door with a few corporate board positions and directorships.

All of this is not part of some grand conspiracy, but rather the confluence of like-minded people who share a common goal, and know how to work toward it. It's a wink and a nod, and I doubt it is ever spoken. But it exists everywhere where men have power over other men.

And their greatest tool is the simple lie. "Gender Affirming Care" is a lie. "Diversity, Equality, Inclusion" is a lie. "Pride" is a lie. "Equal Opportunity" is a lie. "American Rescue Plan Act of 2021" is a lie. "Reproductive Health Care" is a lie. "Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act" is a lie. "Voting Rights Act" is a lie. "Body Positivity" is a lie.

The technique is simple and powerful...degrade the language, make everything relative, hide the true intention behind a mass of anodyne sayings and misdirection, so previously clear and unambiguous ideas are blurred. "Mens Sana In Corpore Sano" (A sound mind in a sound body) has been shifted over the last two generations into an insane belief that no matter how unhealthy one's life is, that it should be celebrated by society...on pain of government action!

You weigh 350 pounds and have multiple health issues? Wonderful! Let's put you on the cover of a beauty magazine! Because how YOU feel about yourself is more important than the reality. But that is a lie.

You are a 15-year-old girl who feels awkward and out of place in society? We have a cure for that...we'll cut your breasts off, build a Frankensteinian ersatz phallus, and give you powerful drugs so you can pretend you are a man. But that is a lie.

Government spends $2 trillion in response to a foreign-manufactured virus, driving us farther into a debt we cannot repay, and they tell us that it will improve the economy? But that is a lie.

A generation ago, many of us were reflexive in our support for many of the things that our government and corporations did. "The War On Terror," "The Patriot Act," "Back The Blue," shifting manufacturing to low-cost countries with the promise that it would make us stronger, and on and on. And cultural shifts were even more profound: gay marriage, the move away from traditional education, embracing social media at the expense of normal human interaction...the confluence of all of these seemingly disparate shifts have conspired to untether our society from its bedrock of family, religion, patriotism.

But recently the curtain has been pulled back ever so slightly from the machinations of that evil cabal...and the senescence of our great country and culture -- American Exceptionalism -- has been slowed.

Will we continue to pay attention? Will we continue to call them on their monstrous lies? Will we continue to push back about the most evil lie of them all..."For The Children?" Because that is what finally caught the attention of a sleepy and passive America; when we finally noticed the evils perpetrated in our names on our children...in their schools and physician's offices.

Will that be the final overreach of the globalists who seek to destroy everything we have built over the last 400 years? They are going after our children, and that is simply too much to bear!

21 Outstanding, CBD. Thanks…. Yes, lies everywhere. What I find most discouraging is folks nominally on our side who refuse to see what time it is. One tiny example: I just got home from church and today our first 2 congregational songs were the national anthem and America the Beautiful. All I could think about the country I knew and loved was (in the words of Bones): It’s dead, Jim. Yet people all around me singing the words like it’s 1984. But in 2023 we have stolen elections, political prisoners and TPTB trying mightily to throw their biggest threat (DJT) in prison Beria-style. How do people not notice?? I’ve decided I can’t be all that patriotic anymore… this makes me very sad.

Even here in Seattle, while the Pride parade was huge, the month long "all gay all the time" was fairly subdued.

Premiers/Blue Cross, a major medical insurance carrier, based just north of Seattle, is being taken to court for refusing to cover breast removal on a healthy teenage girl because she thinks she's a boy.

And at the end of Mass last evening, we sang "My Country tis of the."

27 What they have done to the word "conspiracy" is one of their greatest tricks.

Basically, all of human interaction is "conspiracy." You conspire at work, if you have coworkers, to complete whatever tasks you do. You conspire with your friends and family, to do things from moving a couch to planning a party to moving some party's body inside your couch.

Paper trails, word of mouth, a wink and a nod, it's all done in an effort by people with a common goal to coordinate their actions, to accomplish that goal, and it usually doesn't require everyone to repeat all the details of what the goal is, or their role in it. You just do what your part calls for you to do.

Of course our rulers conspire. They always have, we just had this blip in our timeline, where those in power tried to conspire to have "the people" be their own rulers. It kinda worked, for a while. Kinda.

This is a very important point. It obviates any need to believe in actual conspiracies; and explains how something can appear to be a 'Global Conspiracy'. I decided this decades ago after listening to IDK how many wingnuts go on about such. An interesting example is Missionary Work: once a person or group is indoctrinated, they can be sent anywhere; and then they will all do much the same things wherever they are. Same principle. It's not brain science or rocket surgery to accept it.

I think fascism works fine. People have to get over the idea that fascists and commies are on opposite sides... and others have to come to accept that what we used to call capitalism exists in only the narrowest sense of the word.

Fascism was and is, the "perfect" melding of these varying concepts into a ruling structure that looks essentially like our nation, and increasingly, much of the whole planet.

TBH, I've never noticed that these kinds of people actually hide anything. Far Left idealogues are constantly telling everyone in sight and hearing what they want and what their plans are!

As far as my own denomination is concerned, every bishop should have told the authorities to go piss up a rope. They should have said that the Church has had Mass during war, fire, famine and plague and that while the faithful were dispensed from Sunday obligation, every parish would continue to have Mass every day for those who wanted to come. And that they were not disobeying civil authority but adhering to God's.

I totally agree. I left a church of which I was a member in 2020 because they wouldn’t have services. I began attending Grace Community (pastored by John MacArthur) because they were having services…. It was a longer drive but worth it. And of course LA County and the state of CA tried to destroy Grace (unsuccessfully, thank God).

A man who decided in his fifties he was a "woman", who as an adolescent specialist advocated actively for gender mutilating treatments for children and teens and mentally ill adults, and who parlayed his personal delusion into a high profile public health career in government with both hands firmly on the bully pulpit where he continues to push the WPATH agenda, will not be radical enough to suit their all-consuming perversion.

Yeah, your brain doesn't really know the difference of whether you got them from Walgreens or off the street.

And why you take them doesn't really make any difference either. People like to claim opioids prescribed for "real" pain aren't addictive. Which misses the fundamental point. Your brain is addictive, the substance just finds its way in. However it does. And opioids find a specific part of the brain that really really really really really REEEEEAAAAALLLY likes them.

Lately, I see two or three stories like this every month. What I rarely see are stories about transsexuals who began the process in their teens and are now are happy, well-adjusted, and have no regrets.

101 >>Not just the people population but all life forms will perish if they block out the sun. A dead Earth, I guess that's what's in store.

If you look at the history of the global warming movement it really began with a group of self-proclaimed globalist Malthusians called The Club of Rome in the late 1960s. Some of those people are dead, others now infest the WEF, the UN and other globalist organizations but they all share a common vision. That man is the enemy of humanity and the only way to save the world is to vastly depopulate the globe.

The started pushing the idea of global warming and got it adopted by the UN at the Rio summit and it is has been the mantra of globalists ever since. There is no real science behind any of this. It's a cult.

But everything we are seeing around us, from green energy, to the gender crap, to 3rd world invaders in the US and Europe, to lockdowns to digital currency to riots and on and on is all part of their doing. Call it what you want but they have a plan and it is playing out right now.

They're doing the same, except they don't view their primary dreams and talent as engineering or teaching or design or whatever. Their primary dream is subversion and changing the system. They use learned skills to achieve that dream.

We're seeing it now in churches and local political party meetings. "Disillusioned democrats" are not to be trusted or given any positions of influence.

Posted by: polynikes at July 02, 2023 12:32 PM (MNhXM)

I believe it is more than a conspiracy between two separate groups. The MSM is now a fully integrated segment of the Left. It is the major propaganda arm of the overall Leftist regime. Information and ideas freely flow into and out of the MSM, from/to Leftist individuals and organizations. Making the MSM sort-of neutral is impossible until Leftism is wholly and widely discredited. Because the MSM currently recruits new employees only from the Left. There first must be a drastic reduction of Leftists (by peaceful means) in journalism schools, local TV stations and newspapers. Being a Leftist pundit must be made a low-status job. And so on. Gonna take a lot of time, unfortunately.

And there is a particularly insidious aspect to fascism: You are allowed to practice your "freedom," as long as we let you. If the spotlight of the state does not shine on you, it feels like you are able to live in freedom. But as soon as it does, you will NOT be released from their control, unless and until they arbitrarily decide it is no longer useful for them to do so.

Not based on "the law," not based on justice, not based on anything other than the casual exercise of power. You are either favored or disfavored, and once they decide you must be sacrificed or eliminated, they will do so. Because they can.

205 Muslims couldn't organize a goat rodeo. But the globalists have been openly advertising their conspiracy for a long time. When someone tells you they are going to do something and then they do it it might be a good idea to believe them.

Muslims make good useful idiots. Destruction is something they excel at. They are easy to inflame and many have a reason to be angry with their former colonial masters and the globalists use them with ease. Sarkozy, Obama and the rest of NATO knew what would happen if they took about Gaddafi but they did it anyway and the invasion of Europe was on. And not only have they not tried to stop it they enabled it.

The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.

Tylenol is useless and is a liver killer - many of the prescription opioid deaths are actually liver shutdown because of the included Tylenol.

I'm wondering the same with Ozempic. It's being touted now as a miracle weight loss drug, and frankly, I don't know how much it's being pushed on the public. It seems to me they're possibly downplaying it, and making it harder for people to get their hands on it.

So these two in particular, if it's not for profit, I don't know if the Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex has a plan for our destruction, using our desires against us... somehow.

Heck, look at us here and tie it to "conspiracy theories"

We watched multiple states shut down on election night simultaneously, across time zones, because of a water leak in Georgia (btw, there was never a work order on that leak). We know, without any confusion or doubt, that there were 17K votes invented in Georgia with no paper trail, images, signatures, etc. In a state where Biden won by 11K. And that sort of thing happened around the nation in multiple states.

And here we all are now, happily arguing over DeSantis vs Trump in 2024, like none of that ever happened.

245 An interesting recent conspiracy is the Gruesome Twosome Rona RWs, who most certainly 'conspired', two ostensibly Joo-ish women conspiring to seriously damage American society.
I don't actually care they did; one is NYC, the other is Boston, so there you have it, why expect more; but that it seems both inquired from spiritual advisors outside their jobs as to whether their actions were ethical. This is a far more thorny question.
RW-NYC belongs to a 'LB-etc, Synagogue' that seems to be little more than an urban storefront Gay Church. RW-Beantown seems to belong to a grasping, social-climbing Ultra-Proggie outfit that is so thrilled to have her silly ass in their 'community' she probably could have pegged the 'rabbi' in public.
So both 'spiritual advisors', which I view as the last line of defense against their totalitarian idiocy, failed miserably.

Someone here (BurtTC?) recently pointed out something similar as it related to Ivermectin during the vaxxine push.

The media, government, etc. made a conscious push and full-court press effort to suppress any information on Ivermectin.

The thing is, though, if Ivermectin didn't work, people would figure that out pretty quickly and it would die out on its own. If it killed or harmed people the same thing would happen. Folks would learn about it, and they'd self-limit the behavior.

That didn't happen, though. What did happen is the government and media took great pains to suppress it.

Sure wouldn't want to call something a conspiracy, though.

Here's how the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit describes Rahimi's subsequent antics:

"Between December 2020 and January 2021, Rahimi was involved in five shootings in and around Arlington, Texas. On December 1, after selling narcotics to an individual, he fired multiple shots into that individual’s residence. The following day, Rahimi was involved in a car accident. He exited his vehicle, shot at the other driver, and fled the scene. He returned to the scene in a different vehicle and shot at the other driver’s car. On December 22, Rahimi shot at a constable’s vehicle. On January 7, Rahimi fired multiple shots in the air after his friend’s credit card was declined at a Whataburger restaurant."

274 Excellent post, CBD.

They lie to build their forces against "conservatism," rally against TRUMP! & The Supreme Court, to complete changes to America.

Biden admin knew the proposed student loan forgiveness couldn't pass the smell test even before the 2020 presidential election campaign but they needed those 'voters.' But note, even though the Supreme Court struck down Biden’s student loan forgiveness program, his administration has already canceled $66 billion in student loan debt for more than 2 million borrowers including physicians, teachers & administrators. (It became easier for people to qualify for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program & also for more borrowers who attended schools that may have misled them or violated certain state laws eligible, as well those permanently disabled, to have student loan debt discharged.)

Biden just announced new actions to to provide debt relief for student borrowers: negotiated rule making & an "on-ramp" period to help borrowers adjust. Surely, right up to the very next presidential campaign election.

Thing is, when reality crushes illusion, the result is most often not a Eureka! moment but a catastrophic breakdown of value system that very few people truly recover from. It's dangerous as all hell. The vast majority of people will die defending a value system they know doesn't work.

Depending on your state as to legality, 'Delta 8' is a product derived from the hemp plant. Low THC content - but it's a cousin of marijuana in effect, with less paranoia reported. If you want your guns back you could check it out. Most 'Vape Shops' in my state of PA carry it. Legal in TX, FL, PA, CA - not legal in NY, MD.

While I generally agree with your point, it was through sin that death entered the world.

What once was wholesome and substantive, is now tainted by the influence of sin, oft-bastardized from its original design.

316 It's Sunday and that means that RedState.com is using the weekend to sneak in another one of their ridiculous articles giving Mitch McConnell credit for all the Supreme Court rulings of the past 72 hours.

You have to really be living in a fantasy land - and they do frequently over at RedState.com - to believe that the credit for the SCOTUS rulings are due to McConnell's leadership!
Was he the GOP Senate Majority Leader that helped usher through the nominees like Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney Barrett? Sure he was and he gets a pat on the back but that's about it, mainly because THAT'S HIS FUCKING JOB!!!

President Trump is the real leader who had the kajones to nominate and fight like hell for these nominees. DJT deserves all the credit. Period. But that won't stop the establishmentarians at RedState.com from pushing their ludicrous argument. The truth is that McConnell would have taken the most moderate candidate to usher though, just so he wouldn't have to do any real work. A case in point is how he pushed Ketledge over Kavanaugh, just because he said Ketledge would have an easier time being confirmed. Yes, he said it.
