You said it, lady. Half are still asleep and living likes it's 1999. Not. A. Clue. What. We. Are. Talking. About. And for the majority of the rest of "us," you nailed it. I keep checking and there's still plenty of food at the market and I can still get anything under the sun from Amazon. My electricity and internet still work. It's almost like nothing ever happened.

But I know it's coming. I'm old enough to recognize something completely different than "tough times." It's building slowly, being executed strategically, and we're being psy-op'd and gaslighted on every topic (Today's headlines: "[Only] Far-right Trumpers take issue with the raid.")

For the past two years, I feel like I have been sitting on a bench alone watching the craziest of things unfold and looking furiously to my left, then my right to see who else is seeing what I'm seeing. And most of the time I get nuthin'. We're just not at the tipping point yet, though some of us can see it from where we sit, plain as day.

This is a revolution is slow motion. The (overwhelmingly white) middle class is in the crosshairs. Hence all this talk about the threat of white nationalists/white supremacists. They are being demonized and dehumanized so that there will be no pity for them when they are destroyed. When some resist their plight, the MSM will pounce and point to the prescient warnings of "white supremacist violence" given by the integrity-free FBI.

An armed IRS, staffed with recent diverse graduates of woke universities is being prepped to take away their savings. After Big Tech helpfully turns data over to government (remember: questioning "vaccines" and the results of the 2020 election are warning signs of potential domestic terrorists), red flag laws will disarm them, lest they put up too much of a struggle.

America is the main battlefield. Because of the 2nd Amendment, we are the only nation capable of resisting the implementation of the NWO. Europe, shattered by the wars of the 20th century and lacking an armed citizenry, will be mopped up lickety-split if we fall.

We are too comfortable for now. That's the problem. But that's changing every day, as more and more people are being made aware of the walls closing in on us.

A leader is needed to organize the tens of millions of Americans awake (the real "woke") to the horror surrounding us. About a year ago, in the comments of a substack article, Dr. Yeadon wrote that he was desperately trying to get to Florida and get an audience with Gov DeSantis and explain his alarming findings. Well, no official word on that, but I can't help but notice that Dr. Yeadon has been in Florida for quite some time now, and that Gov DeSantis is just about the only politician speaking out forcefully about what's been going on. He has even quoted "the armor of God" passage from Ephesians that Renee (above) finds so powerful. I have hope.

I feel that much injustice and suffering awaits in the years ahead, but I remain confident that we will eventually win. I hope I'm around to see it!

I feel that most of our leaders (both blue and red), the Ted Cruz's and Lindsy Grahams are so obsessed with keeping their position that they don't care anyway. Tweets and sound bits to the ill-informed so to retain their office. Career politicians for both power and money.

I'm sick of it...and them. That place needs to be rebuilt.

Give me a media leader that stands up beyond the camera or microphone.

There is none.

Where are the elected leaders who take a real-life stance, who will speak truly for the people?

The last one was cheated from the election...and no one who could stand up did.

No media to dig into, no official to go public, and no lawyer willing to prove it.

Why are they so afraid?

For a while now, I've felt like we're sitting at the top of the tallest part of the roller coaster, just after the clack-clack-clack of the lift chain stops, and there's a very quiet moment while we're waiting for gravity to reassert itself on us, and we're just staring straight down...

As the other side becomes more desperate, the actions they take become more exaggerated and extreme (and usually absurd). When they miss, it's very obvious to everyone, and usually hilarious. But when they hit, that's when it really hurts. They're going all in, Nothing or Double, No Horseshit, Jack. We are not going to emerge unscathed.

“just because you’ve taken your mind off it, doesn’t mean it isn’t still happening behind you.” Doesn’t this exactly sum up the new normal?

I would just like to add that the American Revolution also had a) some great thought leaders who not only put out pamphlets that got the farmers worked up and supporting their cause, but also b) went to other countries to get support. France supported them financially, India revolted at the same time to draw some of the British troops away. That’s just a couple of examples. So things require a bit more organisation and leadership that is currently being offered for Revolution to happen. We do have some great medical leaders, but I’m not sure they would lead a Revolution.

I’m recently becoming reacquainted with the value of history to teach you useful things about the present - especially about the tactics used by the enemy actually.

I am old enough to have had milk delivered very morning in glass bottles with very simple cardboard caps, Watching this play unfold is painful, but I clearly see the disaster that unfolds daily, a flower that reminds me of the years when this county was still something I wanted to live in.

These days I just want to get on a boat, set sail, and see where the wind takes me…

I'm so afraid we're like the frog in the pot of water and by the time we realize we're boiling, it will be too late to hop out of the pot. People (myself included) have long wondered how could the "good" Germans have sat back and allowed the Nazis to commit the atrocities they did. Well, now I understand.

I think things will turn very unpleasant in the winter. It's probably good that there isn't a leadership cos that creates targets, mass rejection, mass non compliance is the way forward

Boy, did your 3 points of why “not yet” resonate.

I’m hoping against hope for number 3 to come through, although it’s the most unlikely.

I’ve been asking myself how to get number 2 from the great in theory idea to practical for over a year now. I’ve seen a recent video of people in France who have started implementing their own decentralized parallel society, which seems like a very necessary step for what lies ahead, whether if the futures is worse than I think or better. Also planning a few peaceful means for myself. Violence may well come, but I personally think we must not be the ones to kick that off.

Number one is already personally the reality for myself and my hubby. Barely leave the house as it is. No fun discretionary spending. Making do is a way of life. We fully anticipate the uncomfortable factor to get much worse personally and as a whole for all regular people worldwide.

Prepared as best we can, but I don’t know how long they’ll attempt to grind us all down by amping that uncomfortable factor up. But we plan on making it past the the worse part and surviving into it will get better stage. Although I agree, we are losing what this country once was no matter what happens. It will not all be bad, but it will be very different and I mourn the actual death of my past ahead of time. Best to get that over with now.

👍 great piece gutter. The sign that greater tyranny is ahead and they're prepared for it is obvious now.. Billion$ and 80k new IRS rats. Nothing sends a clearer message to the people. The most powerful weapon the people have is to quit paying for their own abuse and bankrupt the system. The regime knows this and will make sure everyone keeps subsidizing their further subjugation at gunpoint.

Brilliant article, describing the current situation and the people's dilemma so well.

I think we have no choice but to be Rosa Parks. The only way this ends without war is passive non-compliance without violence.

So your local tyranny agent doesn't like that? Point out to him / her the no trespassing sign, and demand to see their warrant. Most judges won't issue warrants on frivolous grounds.

Local officials acting like dictators? Put those asses on notice that they are subject to prosecution in accordance with the Notices and Affidavits on AffidavitMommas2021.com

They want to make up new laws that violate the Constitution? Any law that is repugnant to the Constitution is null and void. Marbury vs Madison 5 US 137. And local tyrannosaurus bossy pants, who is obligated by law to uphold the Constitution and not destroy it, is now personally liable and may be sued under title 42 USC 1983.

Use the laws we've got, and the Constitution which must take precedence over them in a court of law to put the assholes on notice to back off.

You write very well.

Thanks Guttermouth. I've been asking myself many of the same questions, since well before Covid, and you helped me discern possible answers more clearly.

I have an advantage over some, in that I concluded several years ago - years before Trump said it - that were were living in a banana republic.

Yes, a very comfortable, wealthy and large one, but a banana republic all the same. Americagua, Ameristan, Amerabwe.

In March 2020, as I watched blue-state and blue-city lockdowns from the safety of rural Texas, I was stunned that people didn't take to the streets. It makes more sense to after reading this.

I'm late to this post, but it was great, as were all the comments. Much appreciation. Thanks for framing the discussion for us the way you did, it was useful and resonated with me. I know for myself, personally, I would like to be able to DO something before #1 MORE PAIN FOR MORE PEOPLE happens, but the number of ideas out there is just, well, a lot. And who wants to be like all those gun control advocates shouting "just DO something, do anything!" Blegh. We want to do what will work, and that might NOT be 'anything.'

And I agree that it is going to be local, and in person, how we move forward. This (substack) is great and your newsletter and others' inspire me and I learn with each read, often laugh, too, but.

Nothing beats offline.
