Of course I was excited about it and pissed off and talked about it.
And many other people were excited and pissed off about it.
Did you do something about it besides complain that despite telling people about it, and some of them also getting pissed off about it, nothing happened?
How about a red line. Dementia Joe just decided he's going to take away parent's rights to stop transitioning Genders. How's that for an ancient liberty that digs deep into the soul? Why don't we make that a red line. In advance so no welching when it happens.
Did you at least get pissed off by it? Did you explain it to other people?
I'm frustrated by people's indifference "what are you going to do?" they ask, well I know what THEY are going to do - absolutely nothing. They won't even complain about it.
So, I really don't care at this point if the mRNA vaccines do kill them.

I feel the only way to get positive change is to educate enough of society to see there's a need for change.
For years, "conservatives" tirelessly defended the FIB, CIA, and NSA. The Office of Special Plans, that was just an error. Well, they know differently now that 800 people are political prisoners to protesting a stolen election, they know better now they can have seen people framed by the FIB.
To fix a problem, you have to acknowledge a problem, and if everybody can finally see it, but do nothing about it, we're just a lost species. We're fucked, but nobody is going to be able to say I didn't stand in the way of it.

The internet was invented for war.
Porn just made it easier to download pictures and stream video.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Why do you think we made the fucking internet? For porn?

ARPANET was invented for war, mostly actually for research. In the 1980's, the US government tried to keep people who had been on the ARPANET (the precursor) from using it unless they were working on specific projects, and to use it ONLY for those projects. The response was there was a revolt and the Universities offered to entirely take over, or replace ARPANET with their own system or purchase the infrastructure of the existing system since they built for it and paid for it mostly anyhow.
That happened.
The Internet which is what it developed into was a direct challenge to the idea it should be used ONLY for war. The concept in the late 1980s was a world wide, uncensorable, communication system. When I got onto it, the FIGHTS, you have no idea. We were meeting people all over the planet, and we quickly realized we were all given different lines of bullshit about history. Talk to a guy in France or Belgium, and their idea of history was TOTALLY different. Same for Indians, and Chinese. We're all fed bullshit.
People complain about the "toxicity" of the Internet today, if you were on it in 1990, you have NO IDEA what sort of knockdown, drag out fights there were over "the truth".

Porn changed it from "oh, that thing nerds use to talk to weirdos in other countries for no reason" to "Hey mom, can we get dialup Internet"? When photographs and (limited) video became available, it suddenly took off. In Bill Gate's "The Road Ahead" - 1st edition, he thought the Internet was a passing FAD. That was published in 1995. We had still images then, but not video, except some very basic video.
I don't mind pornography being on this, and I fully realize that's why it was adopted widely, but that's not its purpose. Here, want to understand how to calculate an FFT?
https://www.youtube.com/@MarkNewmanEducation/videos
That's suitable for a junior high school student to understand what is going on with the FFT. You might want to explain to him first what use an FFT is, but with over a weekend, they will be able to calculate one, although most of them will just make use of libraries, but it also gives you enough information to use wavelets (if you know they exist) or other periodic signals, you don't have to use sine waves, you can use square waves and triangular. Why would you want to do this? Well, in some audio and video encoding, it's a lot faster than using a sine wave to do the convolution, and you don't lose anything by using simpler periodic waves.
That's what the Internet is for. Knowledge. There's somebody that wants to share it, and there's somebody that wants to learn it.
What I personally know about geopolitics, out-strips 99.99% of what ANYBODY could have known 30 years ago. I'd say I'm easily in the top 1% of knowledge now. I wanted to understand what the fuck is going on, and I largely do (now - I THINK) but if I try to explain it to anybody, "oh, man, are you CYNICAL" - the people that run this world are fucking very cynical. People just can't believe it.
It's like being in 1946 and trying to tell people that FDR let Pearl Harbor happen BUT that's slowly changing. I'm NOWHERE near as alone as I was 20 years ago. There's plenty of places where I can talk entirely openly and not have somebody screaming about what a nutcase I am. There's people now teaching me and I've been doing this 30 years. A lot of people know the details and grim reality of the civil war, I don't. I know the basics of the reality, but the real reality - oh my god, it's nothing like what were taught. Nothing at all.
10 year old kid can find this out now.
Nobody knows what they don't know, nobody has any idea how much they have to learn about a situation, but with geopolitics, I can tell you almost nobody understands the most basic reality of it. We are lied into EVERY war, and our media is COMPLETE propaganda. There is NO POSSIBLE way that people working in the "news" agencies don't know they are lying. You can't correct them, and the REAL reason they go rid of commenting ability, is not only to prevent people from telling the truth, but to keep the reporters from ever being held accountable as what they really are - propagandists. They're just going to say "well, I had no idea!"

The false flags and “stand offs” are all about vilification and cover for increased war and unconstitutional surveillance.
Gordon Kahl, Ruby Ridge, Waco, these were direct attacks on Americans, but not just any Americans. These were attacks on conservatives who practiced Constitutional rights. They didn’t attack left wingers, communists or gang bangers. No they made examples of people who love their country and their family and were prepared to defend them. But why should we rehash history. My people have been in the know and fighting on the front lines at BPOU meetings for decades. It wasn’t until recently that we started to see much progress but progress is being made. Did you know that it was people who went to caucuses around the state who made sure Trump got on the ballot and not some never trumper Rino?
We have done and continue to do the work on the front lines of political action. We don’t just bitch on the internet about how the government is evil. We seek to make government serve the people by activism. You don’t get results by bitching or posting. You have to go to meetings, make donations, serve on committees, develop relationships and exert influence to serve notice that communism and totalitarianism will not be tolerated. You are wasting your time and indignation if you are not going to meetings and making donations and being part of the process that runs government. We don’t have a constitution because people posted shit or wrote letters to the editor. We have a constitution because men and women gave their time treasure and talent to forge it, as a part of the political process.

Hold on there chief. Liberal meant something very different during Waco and Ruby Ridge. Conservative meant Janet Reno, and endless war in the Middle East.
Don't feed the false dichotomy. It's only purpose is your slavery.

Janet Reno is a totalitarian leftist. Kind of like the left wing fascists of Germany in the 1930’s.

When the Cold War ended, the big gov agencies needed a new boogeyman, so they invented militia groups, and then created incidents to prove they were dangerous and the agencies vital and heroic.
Ruby Ridge, Waco were absolutely this way. The could have yanked Koresh into a car during his daily jog with his walkman. But they literally warned the media for maximum footage of their "Daring Raid on Whackos from Wacos". Then they incinerated children on purpose. The helo footage proves they deliberately created a fire prone situation with maximum air penetration, released massive quantity of gas, and then several flashes by the attack vehicle to start the inferno.

Elections were just ended by the intelligence agencies.
You know this, see the scope of the problem. There's 800 political prisoners today, because they protested the end of our ability to vote.
The only reason Trump was allowed to win in 2016, if they simply weren't able to manufacture enough balloting fraud. That was fixed with mail in voting, which I guarantee is going to be permanent.

They could have picked up David Koresh when he was shopping. Same thing with Randy Weaver, although he was quite self sufficient.
I remember the "news" media at the time that was tripping over themselves to defend government actions.

The War on Us started in the 70's, well before the militia demonization. After Vietnam, they figured out war was no longer going to be supported, at least not without a perceived threat on US soil. So they transitioned to the War on Us, which introduced mandatory minimum, significantly increasing incarceration rates in this country, specifically for victimless crimes. From there they briefly introduced the domestic terrorist concept, but must not have caught on like they wanted, so they pivoted to the War of Terror. Although the focus has really been us the whole time. Definitely ramping up the domestic terrorist angle the last few years.

I would not have believed this before the scamdemic, but between that and finding out about Lavon Affair and Operation Northwoods, I think it may be true that the government was behind the OK City bombing as well.

OK city bombing - put a truck full of fuel and fertilizer and blow it up as a big distraction, while the demolition charges take down the supporting building columns.
9/11 - fly planes full of fuel into the WTC as a big flaming distraction, while the demolition charges take down the support structures.
I guess OK City was just another practice run for 9/11. Not so much for the logistics, but honing "the narrrative," getting the media and govt agencies on board by getting rid of anyone who would blow the whistle. That took years of purges.
