I am now convinced that the governments of the US, local, county, State and federal, have broken their contract with we the people and are now an illegal occupying force.

Lifelong conservative, but this sort of legislation over and over again??? As Dan B likes to say, "Politicians hate you". No wonder increasing numbers of conservatives are saying they are not going to be voting in the next iteration of "the most important election of our lifetimes". I cannot say enough bad things about republicans.

Unfortunately both sides are the same designed to divide!

It took me a while but I don’t like politicians from any party. I regret every vote I ever cast and I will never vote again.

that will show them.....

Actually, and not to split hairs, Oligarchs hate you, the elite hate you, politicians are just the tool they use to try to club you to death. Politicians are for sale to the highest bidder ( and often that price is only a few thousand dollars) and thus do the bidding of whatever entity is currently bribing them.

Politicians don't hate you, its just like a an doordash driver delivering overprocessed junk food to you to help along your early death, they are not poison, they only deliver the poison..

Now you know why they’re building 5000 data centers in America. To store everything you do online, in your homes, in any stores you go to, and on the streets.

Real time tracking of all the citizens and their activities in the virtual world as well as real life, requires tremendous resources. Datacenters aren't going to build themselves, by using corporations, publicly traded corporations, the government makes you pay for your own surviellance network via your 401k and other stock market investments. Why do you think the big AI corporations are being added to the major indexes?

They are clever bastards and sadistic as well. Divest them from your portfolio, do not use their publicly facing AI tools, even if they are free, they are the most expensive free thing you will ever use.

Each query trains the beast to know you and track you.

Do you think people are turned into sociopaths when they are employed by the federal government, or do they have a propensity to sociopathy and gravitate towards federal government because of it.

Garth Mando's avatar

Chicken or egg problem, probably a little of both. The winds of corruption bend the trees in the forest. Many programs are so cloaked or segmented that a high paid moron won't put 2+2 together until they notice the machine has chopped their own dicks off.

Call it human nature, the ability to ignore ergreious dangers and harms whenever it will harm your paycheck.

When all other techniques fail, the drums of patriotism are usually invoked along with tremendous social pressures.

Manipulating people is much easier than most people think, look at the Cola Wars. Sugar water makes billions with the right "advertising"...

Beware of legislation that sounds benevolent. Almost always it’s not!

Garth Mando's avatar

the CIA perfected this with their habit of "Cover Stories" to explain their actions, these names for bills are merely cover stories to sell them in the press and other media.

Brain dead politicians determining the fate of the nation. Most bills Congress approves have positive friendly catchy names, when the truth and intention of the bill is just the opposite. Affordable Care Act grabs me! We have bloated $$$$$ healthcare system that delivers sickcare!

Gender affirming care comes to mind.

Garth Mando's avatar

virtually all laws (aka bills before becoming laws) are not written by politicians since the 1990's - K street lobbying firms have been delivering prewritten bills to their paid for politicians to become the laws they need and desire.

You can blame the politicians for a lack of morales, and a debasement of the process, but they are just tools in the machine doing the bidding of K-street and K-streets owners.

Politicians are the process you see and meant to shoulder the blame, the real problem are the people pulling the strings of the puppet politicians.

don't be misled, your ire is meant to be focused on the politicians, their owners wish to remain hidden and shielded from your wrath.

Thomas A Braun RPh's avatar

How do we cut the strings and stop the amoral behavior of the politicians?

Garth Mando's avatar

Cui Bono is the latin phrase.. Cui bono?, in English "to whom is it a benefit?

ask yourself, "Who Benefits?" follow that trail..Then use logic, cunning and manipulation, the same tools used against you to formulate a plan to disrupt or cut their lines of influence.

It is a war, you must outflank your enemy, even if the battle field is in your mind and in your wallet.

There needs to be a more effective solution than not paying your taxes to turn this fascist juggernaut around. They don't really need our taxes. They can print all the money they want, and they do! Taxes are there to just make slaves of us. I don't have the answers except apply a more comprehensive set of protocols for not complying.

Peter Hendrickson's book, Cracking the Code, is an excellent read about federal income taxes. I urge everyone to buy the book, read it, and amend your tax returns to get refunds owed you. I did, and received a letter from the IRS along with my full refund plus interest for my 2024 taxes. I have also sent amended returns for 2023 and 2022. And I filed my 2025 taxes using what I'd learned from Peter's book. By law, you must file your tax return. However, you can reclassify your "income" by sending amended W-2s, etc., if the money you make is not technically taxable. You just need to know what money you must pay tax on, and it's probably not what you think. Don't just ignore your taxes...that'll land you in jail. This is the proper way to handle the matter.

I just bought this on Ebay, used for $12 bucks and change. All the others on Ebay range from high $ 60+ to $ 230 new. Thanks for the info. I heard about this somewhere on SS 5-6 months ago and hadn't written it down. Thank you!!

DC made into a lake instead of swamp.

Garth Mando's avatar

a swamp has actual dimensions including a bottom. DC is more like an infinite pool of sewage with no bottom and creeping every day to cover our nation like a slowly crawling beast consumming everything in its path and delivering all wealth encountered to the billionaire elites.

Its a machine, machines can be broken.Analyze the machine. find its failure points, and utilize them. The liberals used the welfare state to club the governement, it was clever and devious, and has lead to much fiscal burdens and is part of our current demise and malaise. Other levers must be available that can undo this calamity.

if you take a look at most of these "socialists" (really communists) you will see they are the former anchor babies. Exactly what we have been warning about all along.

END birth tourism, END birthright citizenship, Make being a socialist/communist illegal, like it was in the McCarthy era, many of those laws are still on the books - use them nationally and locally!! This latest "kids act" just sets the stage for the power grab coming; why do you think they need so many "data centers"?

PASS the SAVE America Act! Remove Thune from leadership! Isn't McConnell dead? Or are they keeping him on life support to block a replacement?

Don’t vote = Return to Biden years

Don’t say there’s no difference

Garth Mando's avatar

part of the system is built to demoralize voters. it makes it even easier to place their puppets into positions of power.

the lesser of two evils, may still be evil, but it is, as is noted in the name, the "lesser". sometimes slowing down the evil is just as important as stopping it. it gives more time for strategy and battle.

Don't stop voting, but do continue and even accelerate your learning and understanding of the process and the candidates and their histories and associations.

Our true enemies are in control of this fake corporation aka US Government. Rope cures Treason.

Garth Mando's avatar

Rhetoric is fine, but it does little to change this fine fettle of fish we find ourselves boiling in. There is neither enough rope, nor enough volunteers to use the rope, to accomplish what must be done to change/save/rebuild this nation.

Think past slogans, consider methods that can accrue momentum and accomplish more with less effort, like judo, turning an opponents momentum against them.

Digital ID’s + Digital Currency =

Conditional freedom predicated on constant compliance with rolling government mandates that limit a free citizen’s ability to work, buy, sell, trade, travel, get an education, or exercise any other God given rights…this is enforced by government sanctioned discrimination, ideological segregation, and blatant coercion, while using duplicitous language under a false premise.

IT’S HELL ON EARTH.

When we participate in that kind of behavior, we vet it, give it credence, and building power…WE BECOME IT and levy it on our peers.

THE ANSWER IS, NO.

According to Trump's perpetual spamming, he's the only thing standing in the way between us and them.

We've been saved!!!!, BaWAHAHAHA!

Garth Mando's avatar

if you think one man is responsible for this, you don't really understand what is going on. They want you to hate Trump, it absolves the real actors from facing the public wrath.

but continue to hate on Trump, they want you to be all consummed and mentally masturbating over orangemanbad, it keeps you occupied and it restrains you from attempting to really understand what is going on.

I understand this is a cover for surveilance, but what are the talking points to share why this does nothing for kids?

Garth Mando's avatar

Kids are an emotional trigger, by invoking kids it bypasses the brains logic circuit and invokes basic human instincts to protect the progeny. Its basic propaganda 101.

since when has the government gave a shit about children? They will do performative public actions, while destroying the very structures that allow family creation and succesful child rearing.

The whole thing is illogical and without actual protection, its a cover story, like the so called Patriot Act, to steal your rights and your abilities.

Aaron's avatar

Do you all see now that the fake as shit assassination was needed to usher in this pure monstrosity of a cult leader, for the sheep to follow straight to the gates of hell...I laugh my ass off at the sheep that somehow still believe in MAGA..The largest of the trojan horse's since bomber and Regan. I laugh at folks that still believe a braid dead Regan (proven dementia while he was in 2nd term)as was the last brain dead one we just had, did anything to help out the common people. Elections truly don't matter anymore as long as they keep us divided, fighting for scraps.. Doesn't matter D or R, they all hate you and are compromised....Good summary in this post.

Garth Mando's avatar

If you think Trump is the problem, you are nearsighted.

Aaron's avatar

I don't think he is the only problem, just the most recent one we have. However, I haven't observed a cult following such as his since bombers first term. However, most in bombers term realized he was fake and gay. Unlike the crazies that believe this billionaire grifter, who is stealing peoples money right in all of their faces, is going to fix anything but his wealth... I think it might be crazier than all the people who took his "greatest military achievement in the history of the world" SV40 contaminated gene therapies.. It's not short sightseeing to point out the obvious with this fraud...

shibumi's avatar

at some point, the question will be... how to work around all of this for the normal human who does not want to be tracked.
