Except Nixon had deep state and media out to get him, putting the two next to each other is insulting Nixon.

Yeah, but Nixon made savings account interest taxable, pulled us off the Gold Standard, wage and price controls in the aftermath of the death of Bretton Woods, killed Apollo (it's debatable whether this was a good or a bad thing), made friends with China, . . . the list goes on.

Nixon wasn't taken out for those reasons, he was taken out because he ended the Vietnam War.

It was the Vietnam War that forced us off the gold standard, it bankrupted this nation. Wage and price controls was a bad idea, but it smoothed over the transition. Our currency should have hyperinflated, and it will eventually.

Making friends with China was NOT a bad thing, they are now more free market than WE are. That's a good thing for a BILLION people. They don't allow unlimited immigration, they don't have this gender theory bullshit. I don't like the Chinese government, I don't think I'd prefer to live under it, but they are far fucking better as a government than they were in 1980 and we're far fucking worse.

They are improving. FAR from perfect, but improving, we're getting worse. That's not Nixon's fault, that's OUR fault. In time, YOU will prefer to live in China, or your kids will if this trend continues. They can only be propagandized so long with "this is the best goddamned nation in the world!!!!!" - well, it was. Until we allowed a police state, and until our government entered endless, pointless war.

China likes the USA so much that they are flooding Mexico with the precursors for fentanyl (much like they did for meth) so that they can trafficked by the cartels and kill hundreds of thousands while addicting millions. They want to do to us what the western world did to kill the Qing dynasty. Some friends.

Our government is doing this. Our government runs these drug cartels. That's what Operation Fast and Furious was, to arm one cartel that the US has agreed not to work against.

Do you really think the US couldn't shut down illegal drug trade? Is easy to close the border, we have a massive military, but the government will never do it.

We shut down illegal immigration under Eisenhower.

The US government is at war with us, how can you not see it?

If you turn a blind eye to government criminality, you get a criminal government. Of course our own intelligence agencies are running the drug trade. They pretend they want to fix the problem, they are lying.

What do you propose is the reason they are at war with their citizens?

Distraction mostly just the exercise of raw power for another. The government is just a group of criminals. If you are so busy dealing will the fallout of what they are doing, you can't go after them, you won't even be aware of what they are doing.

Do you really think they care about transgendered bathrooms for example? But forcing the issue creates all sorts of strife. This gets people angry and forces people into the two party illusion.

By the time Biden is done fucking up the country we're going to swing hard right, but it will just be a Rhino Neocon in power, they will create more problems.

Don't you ever notice the the last thing the government ever does is a actually address a problem? They just create 2 more and pretend to address the problem. I mean honestly, how hard is it for the government to keep what is basically child pornographs out of a school.library? They pretend it's a free speech issue, it"s not, it's a wedge issue.

Do we really have a society where 1/2 of society disagrees on that??? Read whatever books you like, but why are you putting these in elementary schools? Why is there such a push? It's to get people in this society to hate one another, and discontinue oversight of the government.

It has taken 3 decades for people to start to be aware of what is actually going on. It took the Internet to show the public just what sort of actual system we have. You can find a speech from somebody in government speaking platitudes that you agree with which are 50 years old. Can you find one speech from any politician in the last 10 you agree with?

Nobody in our media will even tell us why we are in a war, what purpose it has, what the goal is. It's always been like this. Every war is a lie, every justification is false and I can see it I used to think once it was uncovered people would take notice, they don't.

I see people like myself astonished at just how insincere our news media and politicians are. Jimmy Dore is an example, there comes a point where you can't look away anymore and you lose any fear of speaking out.

I've told you before you need to get out of California permanently or at least 4-5 times a year. Pornographic books are not in schools outside of California, Oregon or Washington. Because CA is the biggest state they have the loudest microphone. Especially with Hollywood. Even liberal/left Chicago wouldn't put up with that in their public schools. You live in a crazy place.

Again, this isn't much of an issue throughout the country. CA has the most House Reps. I travel enough and I've never seen a man go into a women's restroom ever. You're right about it creating strife and attention, but it's not a big deal anywhere I've been. Giving it any attention just makes it a bigger story. It's not really happening where I've been.

But it's constantly in our media. It's a distraction. People rightly ask what is the world coming to and this is the national conversation for months. Years even.

I have seen this tactic over and over again. Remember the hand wringing over school prayer? Abortion? People may feel strongly about these issues, but they really aren't issues.

People need to tune out of all this nonsense. Gay wedding cakes were a constant distraction, monkey pox was the new pandemic until men were found to be infecting kids and dogs. It's all designed to create animosity and waste people's time talking about issues our government doesn't care about.

They'll find something that causes outrage, and then misrepresent the issue so people think it's worse than it is or prevents people from understanding the other side

Take this war in Gaza. I am antizionist, but I'm not a bigot. I understand the situation well, I just want a solution before I die. It's pretty easy to do, just declare the borders of Israel, whatever is left, that's Palestine. Palestinians won't be happy with the solution but it will be the first real step forward to a solution that I've literally seen in my lifetime. Instead it's all just occupied land, your never told it's a segregated society, your never told that settlements just keep growing, that there have been peaceful protests for years and Israel in the US claims they want a two state solution, in Israel, they don't.

When I learned how deceived I was about Israel for all my life I was outraged. I lost all trust in all the media, and it's a dangerous topic to talk about, so the knowledge isolates you. If we could just talk honestly, most of the worlds problems would go away so what do they do? Impose censorship, have fact checkers, infiltrate Wikipedia, take over our media system, hire agent provocateurs, and all paid for by our tax money.

I've seen media outlets that were once trustworthy absolutely betray ever principle they claimed to have. The Guardian did this, Rachel Maddow did this, Stephen Colbert did this. It has destroyed my ability to trust. You know the only way to tell somebody is lying is catching in a contradiction, but when you do, they just deny it, and years years later they might admit they were wrong but they never apologize for attacking you, supporting some horribly war, calling you stupid or crazy..

We have real psychological warfare going on and it's driving people insane. How many people screamed that you wear a mask, use disinfectant hand liquid, insist that if you don't get vaccinated, you are a threat? Meanwhile your trying to protect them from an error, they don't understand why they believe the nonsense, you can explain your logic, but they have none, "the experts can't all be wrong", well yes they can when you don't have a functioning honest media. It's complete mind control and about 90% of the population are entirely brainwashed.
