Constant Government Lies Spark Resistance Movements
American Thinker ^ | 17 Feb, 2023 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 02/17/2023 5:01:49 AM PST by MtnClimber

In the digital public square of social media, I have seen a noticeable uptick in biting memes and political cartoons calling out the U.S. government for its constant lies. In one example, a cyber-billboard screams, "I don't know if I'm being distracted by vaccine deaths so I don't notice inflation, or if inflation is the distraction to Ukraine money laundering, or if Ukraine is a distraction for rampant pedophilia, or if pedos are distracting me from election fraud." Clearly, that was produced before the great balloon scare gripped the nation. Ah, but no sooner had China Joe proven once again how unsecured our open borders are by allowing a Chinese surveillance balloon to float above the continent's nuclear silos than I ran into a cartoon divided into four squares in which the same man was being hypnotized — first by a dangling coronavirus in 2020, then an mRNA "vaccine" shot in 2021, then a Ukraine flag in 2022, and finally an extraterrestrial spaceship in 2023. Well done, meme masters and internet freethinkers! Actually, corrupt Senator Harry Reid had started to play the UFO card a decade ago, so perhaps this cycle is just starting up once again. Uff da.

If you want to know what's really going on within a society, you don't run to the national newspapers or interview people with titles. You get out and talk to the people nobody else would dare seek. In the Internet Age, you look at what's being said by ordinary people on unremarkable chatrooms whose opinions are routinely overlooked. What I see today is a bubbling movement of frustration and anger that is as acidic as anything I've come across. Americans are furiously mad — but noticeably not in despair. People are not throwing their hands up in desperation;

Did Biden say what he said yesterday on order to appease China?

There were lemon laws that applied to cars years ago. It is well past time to apply them to today’s government ‘overlords’ (and their spokes gals), IMHO.

Gotta say my experience backs this up. I go to many places on the internet that have nothing to do with politics and the FR level and type of commentary and angry snark that finds its way into the comments is remarkable.

The treatment of the January 6th political prisoners is symptom, along with Biden's Philadelphia tirade and comments about 'F15s and nukes'.
Look at how East Palestine Ohio is being treated/regarded.

Credit to JD Vance on contacting Norfolk Southern about their 'accidental' liability waiver.

I know the glowies peruse this forum. Hypothetical question for them: if the current track described in the article is accurate, at some point bread and circuses won't work, which means more and more force will have to be used to keep the status quo. How confident/willing are you to stand in the breach, especially when those you are serving have demonstrated a willingness to through people away like tissue paper when the going gets tough?

For everyone else: when it becomes obvious all regular means for redress and representation are rigged/cheated, and that line " But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism" is not just a quaint line from a parchment sitting in the National Archives but the default operating mode, what are you prepared to do? (Answer to yourselves, the glowies will look for any excuse)

Very good questions. I wonder about this a lot and I can’t for the life of me, figure out the answers. No one will know until that first shot “heard around the world” comes to pass. I guess we’ll get our answers then.

Those people that attempt that will be put down and federal evidence will be posted to show they were all child molesters and known thieves and killers.

A societal collapse always starts slowly and then quickly all at once.

For example, the Soviet Union. Who could have predicted that within weeks of the arrest of Gorbachev that the communist politburo would be finished and that Boris Yeltsin would be the leader of the new Russian Federation.

I dream of the day that the deep state in Washington DC is dissolved and its members exterminated.

Now we see why the FBI and other gummint goons are so obsessed with militia groups and other civilian gatherings.

Fighting back is gonna be tough without at least some organizational structure, but Americans will find a way. We can be very resourceful when pissed.
