VANITY: How to wake up the apathetic
butterdezillion | self

Posted on 04/06/2024 9:42:38 AM PDT by butterdezillion

Some in my family are "normies" who just don't have the energy to care about what they call "politics". They believe the government is corrupt but think there's nothing we can do - no good options - so they just want to ignore it and "remain sane". Basically they are black-pilled, and they say most people are the same way.

How do we reach these people? This is what I'd like to say to them, if there was a way to get them to listen. Can somebody help me out here?

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ― Ronald Reagan

We were not vigilant enough to maintain and keep the freedom we received. It’s a stinky political world right now, but as tempting as it is to just hold our noses and ignore it, unless each one of us cares enough to turn this around, this is a very small glimpse of the government we might pass on to our children:

Passing a law that targets one person.

Giving a ticket to the guy going 76mph on the interstate when everyone else is going 90.

Planting fake evidence against whoever goes against a political agenda.

Jailing political prisoners indefinitely without charging them with crimes.

Torturing those political prisoners.

Spying on everybody but especially judges and lawmakers.

Keeping sex crimes unprosecuted so perpetrators can be blackmailed.

Law enforcement getting rid of “no trespassing” signs and barriers, guiding people into a secretly-restricted area, and then calling them terrorists and giving them jail time and fines.

Firing rubber bullets and teargas at peaceful protesters after a year of letting arsonists, brick throwers, sucker-punchers, and looters off scot-free.

Law enforcement busing in agitators to frame peaceful protestors; agitators fist-bumping law enforcement when violence is achieved.

The leader who refused 20,000 National Guardsmen to prevent “an insurrection” holding herself off-limits to Congressional investigation about her role.

Congressional investigators all hand-picked by that leader hiding evidence disproving their accusations toward her political rivals and holding televised hearings where they tell lies unchecked.

Requiring people to submit to scientific experiments that will kill them and their children.

Having weapons that can undetectably assassinate any person any time.

Having weapons that can brainwash psychologically vulnerable people and use them to commit any atrocity on demand.

Having weapons that can set fires and trigger earthquakes at any time and any place.

Bureaucrats who break every law to target a political enemy – and are then protected by the “Department of Justice”.

Trials that violate evidentiary standards.

Judges and prosecutors who get rich and famous by targeting a political figure.

Juries who lie about their biases so they can punish their political enemies.

Changing a law to get rid of the statute of limitations temporarily so that one man can be bankrupted for defending himself against a 30-year-old rape allegation whose “victim” is caught red-handed lying about the dress she supposedly wore – the only actual evidence even claimed in the case.

A President taking bribes from nearly all the country’s enemies.

Taxpayers forced to pay the President’s money-laundering nation to support the war that erupts when another country finds our CIA creating bioweapons directed toward them.

Staging color revolutions all over the world and in our own country to insure massive worldwide bloodshed.

Censoring factual content on social media and “news”.

Allowing and protecting the abuse, selling, and killing of adult and child sex slaves.

Arming drug cartels.

Passing so many laws and regulations that nobody can possibly be innocent of them all.

Deliberately putting human toxins in food, air, and mosquitos.

Doing the bidding of those planning the extermination of 80% of the world’s people.

Banning home gardens

Banning vehicles that we can afford and that can safely get us to work and back. Rigging “scientific studies” to call safe, effective treatments dangerous, to keep hundreds of thousands of sick people from being saved.

Prosecuting anyone who holds that our own laws governing election safeguards should be obeyed

Deliberately leaving our border unprotected so that any terrorist and any disease carrier can walk in and be received with open arms.

And nothing will happen. Nothing ever happens. When was the last you actually thought the GOP, not Trump the PARTY, did ANYTHING that nade you proud to back them?

Conversely how regularly do complain about the GOP “surrendering” or “failing” or “compromising”? How many of the current elected officials have you described as RINOs? Is it a high enough percentage for you to realize they ARE the Republican party? Do you actually think if Trump wins they will actually support his platform, keeping in mind modt them didn’t the first time around? And yet you’re going to be supporting them.

Do you see the sad? No probably not. Oh well. Have fun keeping the problem around. See ya

I’m not a Republican and never have been, but I always vote for the best advancement toward conservatism that I can get.

You think voting against Trump is the way to go, I don’t.

There is clearly something going on in terms of younger voters looking to Trump. When it was assumed they would be almost all Dems.

Things are bad economically especially for the younger adults. And the Regime just ignores them and lets in more immigrants, puts on more Green taxes crap... etc.

The problem is they have been subjected to a lifetime of Progressive crap from every institution from pre-school on, including education, clubs, churches, popular culture... all pushing the same Leftism.

Decades of propaganda to overcome.

Read the site in my tagline. Tell them that surveillance machine is in their neighborhood targeting them and their children, using its children as spies in the schools, right this moment. The European elites have created their own private sector CIA, which has penetrated the US Intel community, and recruited a massive number of American Quislings who are screwing them over right his moment. There will be some right in this thread, commenting, pretending to be real Americans. And they are about to get real quiet, because they know.

A great civil war is coming, real Americans vs the European elite’s Quisling traitors who have been selling us out for quite some time. I believe a lot of Americans are going to learn what it is to activate those ancient hunter neural pathways, and it will be among the most glorious times to be a human being.

But for now, you have to alert everyone to the surveillance. Look up the accounts of “gangstalking” and know those are your fellow Americans, holding loyalty to the nation and its ideals, being tortured by cowards whose days are coming.

Then have them learn to spot the vehicular and foot surveillance deployed throughout this nation, watching everyone. Force them to confront the fact that surveillance knew 9/11 was coming, because nothing gets past it, and it at least allowed the attacks to cement its own hold on power.

Guide them to the realization of what is coming, and if they are real Americans worth their salt, they will join the march this nation is on, to our destiny, and begin preparing.

The coming elections are nothing compared to the real test approaching.

Ronald Reagan Sits Down with Johnny | Carson Tonight Show

In 1975, Ronald Reagan was traveling around the U.S.A., giving speeches about our worthy American Heritage.

On the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Reagan used common sense to explain things about leftist/liberal government bureaucracy - what we now call "The Swamp."

A nearby town is in the process of turning part of it into a 15-minute smart city. (I’m not sure those two have to be combined - one can have a 15-minute city without it being smart and vice-versa?). I digress.

One of the “great” things about a smart city is that people can have a digital ID. (California just ruled that the people are not mandated to have a digital ID though, which was the original plan.)

Below is a website promoting digital ID and some excerpts. I don’t see what the fuss is - it sounds so wonderful for us “civilians”.

*********************************

https://www.loginradius.com/blog/identity/smart-cities-improve-unified-identity/

The key lies in leveraging a robust identity management solution that delivers a great user experience to citizens across multiple platforms and devices...

With population growth and the expansion of public services, cities need to be innovative about providing services to all people without compromising service quality. There is a need for a single platform where all facilities are centralized, and customer experience is considered.

Digital identity is a great way to get started as it can prove a citizen’s identity through diverse government channels and is crucial for citizens to avail government services....

***************************

Hmm... that last part sounds like the mark of the beast. “I’m sorry but in order to avail government services you must....”

President Trump is a Republican, runs the party, helps his Republican Party win races, helps GOP candidates win primaries, fund raises for the GOP.

So you are voting against him and telling FR to vote for the pro-open borders Libertarian Party or whatever 3rd party they want, such as the Greens if they choose.

He’s a republican NOW, he wasn’t always, and frankly isn’t terribly conservative. No he does not run the party. And his election effect are so-so at best.

No I’m not telling FR to vote for anybody. The question presented was how do you get change. And you don’t get change but continuing to vote for the same parties that you know don’t stand for anything to alternate power. Vote for who you want, I don’t give a crap, your vote. But when you start complaining that the GOP is the stupid party who always surrenders to the Dems and let’s them do whatever they want and nothing is changing remember, I told that would happen.

Trump is a Republican, get over it.

You are telling people to not vote republican, not vote for Trump, you even said you personally prefer the open borders party, that freepers should even vote Greens as long as they avoid President Trump’s party, you are making a fool of yourself.

Wow. There is a lot there. I guess the surveillance by people in the community shouldn’t be a surprise, since it was described by Yuri Bezmenov - although he only mentioned individuals being targeted for harm once the revolution had come.

I have heard of directed energy weapons but this gave a lot more information. For those targeted with sleep deprivation, can rooms be made that are safe from these weapons? I’m guessing they had to shoot holes in Binney’s metal ceiling because it was the only way to render him vulnerable again.

I wonder how much weapons and tactics like these are being used to tranquilize the general public, in addition to their overt psy-ops.

Thank you for this information. It will take a while to process it, but I’ve heard and seen enough to believe there’s a “there” there. it’s good to have some of the documentation gathered in one place.

I think my sister is like a lot of people. They don’t want to know in advance what is going to kill them, unless knowing can change the outcome. If I can give her actionable information she might listen, if she’s not too afraid.

Do you have any hints for actions we can take to try to prevent the surveillance from being effective at targeting us? For instance, any ideas how to keep somebody from getting us to buy poisoned milk?

Is there blue paint that redirects microwaves?

I enjoyed that. Two reasonable men just talking.

How far the media has fallen. And how out of control government spending has become.

Good example of a great moment.

His 1976 RNC speech was excellent.

Reagan made many whistle stops prior to the 1980 National Republican Convention.

The RINO’s wanted former Texas governor, John Connally, but Reagan held a lot more ground.
