I respect the position. I did decide to re-register to vote as 'unaffiliated' so I could go and write in "Neither choice is acceptable" on the ballot. Felt less passive but result is same as not voting.
Do you pay your taxes that are used TO FUND the war criminals whether or not you voted for them? Most of us (me included, me especially) pay our taxes because we don't want to pay the REAL price of resistance. Snowden and Assange paid the price of standing for principle, the rest of us maybe sleep in on election day and try to live with our conscience because we really haven't done much
I will say. My whole life I was pretty much OK with paying my taxes. Mostly because we had great public schools and the modest income kids in my demographic got great, near private school level, public school education, based on taxes. I'm not that materialistic and don't mind my taxes going to educate my neighbors' kids (who I know). Each generation takes turn trying to launch the next. Of course it is in the context of community (something they've been trying to destroy) and common culture and values (another thing they've been trying to destroy in the Great Balkanization).
But all that has been eroding and changing radically and I was getting more disenchanted with taxes, because of a growing awareness that it was being weaponized AGAINST us rather than creating the wonderful schools and neighborhood I remember.
There are a million things we could all bitch about, BUT, what clinched it for me was being attacked by a bio weapon and the murderous follow up of the response ALL DONE WITH OUR TAXES.
Drop a nuke on the peeps and don't expect they'll ever be complacent again.
In those moments I went from a somewhat disenchanted but resigned adherent of
"taxes is the price we pay for a civil livable society"
TO
Tax is theft.
The government DOES NOT get to try and bio murder us while saying "it's for the greater good" and expect us to be OKY DOKY with being extorted of our money. We may lab rats, and we may be pretty dumb lab rats sometimes
But we ain't THAT dumb.
Even the lab rats know that tax is theft when it is being used to kill them
I think I heard Trump talking about this on the Joe Rogan interview or something (not this guy but along the same lines as this guy). I think he threw it out there that Federal taxes are illegal and should be abolished and replaced by tariffs (or something like that). Of course since he's not the dictator they insist he would be he has ZERO chance of abolishing the IRS. Most of his time sadly will probably be spent by the weaponized deep state DOJ (including the FBI & CIA) so the IRS will be a problem to be avoided.
Perhaps I got groggy or heard it in my sleep (it was 3 hours & I often put these things on then fall to sleep) but I could swear I heard him talking about it. It was stunning and refreshing to hear such things coming from a presidential candidate. They say he doesn't read and is not curious about things like philosophy and the constitution but he's obviously done SOME constitution thinking. A lot of the attacks on Trump about not being an "intellectual" is just intellectual elitism anyway. Because he's actually done stuff he's had to think real hard about LOTS of things that others only approach intellectually.
I think voting validates the entire corrupt system. As long as we participate in the rigged system that they created and where they control both candidates, they decide who will win, and it doesn't matter anyway because both candidates agree on what matters to them (herd-culling vaccines and Israel), we can never win. I am with you!
Paying our taxes is even a bigger validation than voting because if we did not fund the SOBs it would be hard for them to fund things like very expensive mk-ultra psyop murder technology or Gain Of Function murder programs and the thousands of other things that provide "good jobs" for thousands but ultimately have little purpose other than mass murder &/or mass control.. As long as we fund the criminals they really don't give a crap about our vote. The price for NOT funding as "a matter of principle" is very steep indeed. When it comes to funding it gets sticky because it may be our job that gets nuked.. It is ever more sticky in a technocratic world because there are good livings to be made creating the technology of mass murder. I'm certainly not ready to stop paying my taxes but am outraged along with everyone else about what's being done with it.
It appears their system runs on printing money out of thin air and making $Billions$ vanish down a hole, leaving no trace. Leaving us to b e l i e v e we hold the rains by way of taxes and voting, as this post perfectly lays out. We will realize the whole mirage in short order, when they step in to not just extort taxes from us, but rob us of all of our belongings and savings outright.
Right. I severed a lucrative 3 year contract and put the energy into turning my property into a more self-sustaining arrangement. Minimized my bank exposure, shifted investments into tangible assets. Goals: sustainable production, bartering, cash transactions and staying below the taxable bracket. A huge adjustment on a less than 100% suitable frame, needed some compromises, but no longer working for ‘them’. Max resistance without having to resort to jail.
PFFFFFFT. Sure, you have "choice", IF you have enough money to move. Libertarian claptrap. As for his smears of Communism, let's get him to debate Richard D. Wolff.
Whatever revenues they don't collect (for whatever reason) they make up for by borrowing from private banksters, at interest. Meanwhile, they take your property/throw you in jail, whatever. So I doubt that refusing to pay taxes is the solution.
YES! Though of course that's just income tax--the only tax we have that even pretends to be progressive. But if you don't file an income tax return, you can't claw any of that back. Though if you have a mortgage, it might be paying your property taxes for you as well. I'm guessing most ppl don't want their house taken away from them....
There are very few solutions. Only half measure mitigations and "making a statement". Only solution is to make better more moral people which is an ongoing failure prone project that seems to run in cycles between "people are really bad, greedy and selfish" to "people are really really really bad, greedy and selfish". Best you can hope (in my opinion) is to keep slogging and do your part to make things better and hope you're lucky enough to not be living in those "interesting times" from the famous curse "may you live in interesting times"
Because economic justice should be the bedrock of a country's laws, not something that has to have a majority of voters vote for it (even if the votes were getting counted accurately)
Not to mention what the reptilians intend, UN agenda 2030, CBDC, digital I.Ds, 15 min cities, the whole globohomo NWO construct, replacement illegal alien invasion etc etc.
uggggh.... can you think of a more accurate description of the psychopaths than, 'reptilians' - which are creatures of Nature whereas psychopaths and sociopaths and cyborgs are not?
reptiles are cold blooded. Whether creatures of nature or not reptiles are often used historically and in fiction to represent evil. If you can think of a better description then please advise.
I get where you're coming from - all good points about commonly used terms and it's those i object to, not just from you. You were spot on about the misdeeds of these evil creeps. I just happen to love reptiles; they're a part of nature and they fascinate me. are still natural creatures in creation - however one defines what creation means (god/not god/ not sure). cold blooded - they're born that way for whatever reason.
I call the evildoers psychopaths because that seems to define them best. I'm not sure that animals and reptiles can be psychopathic, but with all the endocrine disruptors in our waterways, maybe - sadly - and if so, that cause is partly because of these same creeps and our conditioning to be triggered by certain words - a form of mind control.
I shouldn't split hairs over language, I suppose - but I'd like to think that if we used more precise language it would eliminate a lot of confusion 'they' aim to generate. I can see why people are drawn to the Blble - because the Babel story illustrates how someone or something divided us. I don't like to call it Satan because I'm not religious and that kind of language infuses psychopathy with more power than it deserves to have. I don't have any answers but it's interesting to look at the language we're divided over, and to know that it is by design. I hate to call those kinds of manipulators anything natural - because it's not natural to want to be a megalomaniac. Maybe together we can try to figure out what to call them - scumbags, reprobates, war criminals, genocidal maniacs, torturers - those are some names that come to mind on first thought.
No problem at all.. whatever you want to call them. Say 3 to 5% at the top of the heap are psychopaths. The narcissists, water carriers and order followers are there for other reasons, greed, job, pension, whatever. Makes no difference, they are all evil and don’t get a pass. I did get my eyes targeted by a spitting cobra once. I was wearing glasses and when I took them off, the lens were covered with this milky fluid. I like warm blooded mammals and dolphins, porpoises and whales and a whole bunch of other kinds. But to each their own.
As Mark Twain said, “If voting mattered, they wouldn’t let us do it.” Just told a friend yesterday voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. It’s all Theatre of The Absurd to me.
Reminds me of a meme I may have seen on your stack…NPC w a mask on and syringes stuck all over…Govern Me Harder Daddy. 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing boldly Miss Sarah! 🙏 You’re certainly not alone. Love to you too. 💖💖💖
I reckon what it boils down to is the need to take a closer look at our understanding of ‘Democracy’. What we will likely find is that it has been sold to us on a pedestal, adorned with a halo which everyone has adopted as the highest measure of political virtue. 2020 should have made it cristal clear, to whom pays attention, that it caters to the hijacking of personal rights and social rule by way of indoctrinated and apathetic masses psyopped by psychological mind warfare. And is the onramp into Marxism unless diligently garded. We cannot drop our shackles using the tools provided by those keeping us hostage.
I think the best thing most people can say is that freedom is defined by having a limited government. Limited means limited. Well defined. Do not let wiggle room for the executive to make inventions. Which means there should not be socialist programs, like public health, public education, espionage everywhere without a warrant, etc. The old ideal of a government of things and not of people. It should be acceptable for most, because most people are not sociopaths, and because freedom means that law enforcement and courts should work autonomously, independent of political whims and machinations. And because in a freedom system the people who do better get more and the people who do worse get less, and criminals are decimated. Freedom is not safe for criminals.
But some people want privileges and guaranteed business and profits. They hate freedom too, like criminals, even if they are not criminals.
How could ever be banks, pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies like today, in a fredom-based system?
Not so sure about Marxism being the threat we are told it is. It's what was and is DONE with Marx's original ideas that should be the concern. This way the master manipulators and propagandists can make something into good/bad or evil without us ever knowing what the purest ideas were really about before they got co-opted by the greedy and power-addicted.
Regardless of the Idea - some will always vie to control it. Just to savour its irresistible flavour. So the recourse lies in personal development of wisdom, alertness and the appreciation of freedom to maintain the value-track on the bumpy road of potholes. This cannot be done by rules and regulations. Sure as shit, we end up in the ditch every time someone lays tarmac.
hmmm... good food for thought! I still vote locally where I think it counts, but I can certainly write "FARCE!" across the presidential and congressional and judicial fiascos. But then would my local vote count? I think most people are right that voting is supporting the entire fraud system which now, thanks to technocracy, is a global system of greed and corruption.
I HAVE been involved in our small rural community as a non paid citizen journalist reporting on the doings of boards and commissions in taxing districts. When the people are informed and not apathetic, we can get some things done. Sadly, it requires constant vigilance because greed and apathy always take over and people get tired and lazy and things regress pretty quickly in just one election cycle, so I'm questioning everything again - but for me, active involvement in my community and talking with people and educating each other and most of all, listening to one another, sure beats being at each others' throats (which more and more, seems to be what our times hold.) For me, local involvement keeps things civilized in the true sense of the word. You have to see these people in the grocery and hardware store and you quickly learn where people stand (ie mandates vs dialogue and respect of live and let live and do no harm) It may be lost to us on a national level - I think in the US it could lead to civil war. More worrisome to me is to see people I know acting like total intolerant asswipes - on both 'sides.'
Great summary of the president's since Reagan. The only way I can communicate my displeasure for both major parties is to NOT vote. This absurd idea that I MUST vote for someone who stands in opposition to nearly everything that I believe is good and right is insane.
I hope you include Reagan in 'since Reagan.' He was one of the worst 'actors' in the system, setting precedent for what we now have - which is a big fat nothing - and people are still eating up the lies and thinking a political 'savior' from the UniCorporateParty will save us.
No vote is a vote for the status quo. You like the status quo?
Additionally, Trump at least defunded the WHO and is probably going to defund the UN too if elected. Why not support that, or vote down ballot for those that are fighting the system? Not voting doesn't change anything and gives you zero voice.
Lee, defeatism is exactly what the oppressors want. Where I live, Florida, Constitutionalism has been empowered over the past six years, thanks to the will of voters. Yes, FL was on the brink of tyranny in 2018 with rampant fraud, but we've cleaned up the system (there's still work to do thanks to the Feds undermining the Citizenry), and Freedom is on fire here. We have a loud voice because we voted for it, defended it actively in public meetings and demonstrations, voted with our wallets, and said bull shit to the tyranny coming from outside the state, rather than sitting around and bitching on a keyboard.
It's work, unlike bitching about things, but it's rewarding.
My point above stands. Not voting doesn't change a thing. It's stupidity to think that it does. Maybe voting doesn't work where you live, so move to somewhere that it does. Staying and bitching only makes you miserable, which is what the Enemy wants, if you don't have the power to change it.
Yeah, I used to think like that too, Crazy P, but I gotta stop short of paintin' you with the stupid brush. Where I come from, it just ain't polite 🤠
Congrats on your wins over there, but no need to for me to move ... I already live in the one state arguably more "free" than the sunshine peninsula.
Thanks for pointing out that bitchin' ain't action. Been preaching that gospel for a month of Sundays. That's why I'm Active in the large and growing movement for Texas Independence. Texit is going to happen, with any luck at all. And God's help of course.
Thanks also for mentioning defeatism, which I frankly have zero time at all for. If you will pardon my reckless preposition dangling. To the contrary, my message and philosophy is sharply focused on tangible and meaningful Actions for freedom executed on a daily basis. Guess we gotta agree to disagree that voting a for president is one of these. But vote local? Hell yeah.
Sixty presidential elections in a row have done little more than continue and accelerate the decline of our once great nation to the precarious juncture at which we currently find ourselves. I simply choose to direct my finite energy elsewhere, that's all.
History tells us that it's time for a much bigger change than the one offered up by continuing with Leviathan. Maybe this will help ya know where I'm coming from ...
Your state, along with mine, is already leading the charge of the great wave of Nullification that is coming to the country. May we continue to build on this crucial part of the Lifeline to Liberty.
I am always thrilled to hear of other freedom fighters like yourself, battling with such great passion. Best of luck in this epic undertaking and please feel free to drop by The Good Help Network sometime, drink beer, talk trash, love to have ya. 🤙🏼
Very good article, Whitney Webb had also done extensive research on this too. It’s a huge web of corruption and deception that the masses who scream their support for are oblivious. We have definitely entered the Twilight Zone.
The status quo resulted theoretically resulted from votes cast four years ago.
Not voting is no more likely to see the status quo preserved as overturned.
Also, Sarah didn’t pose the question “How sure are you that votes are counted accurately?”
I’m pretty sure that one of two things is true:
1. The perpetrators own all leading candidates so it makes no difference who votes for what. The perpetrators man or woman ends up in charge.
2. The perpetrators have decided who’s going to win and rigged the process so that this is going to be the declared result regardless of who votes for what.
In U.K., I didn’t bother to vote. As I take no routine media, I didn’t know who got in for a week and couldn’t care less which crook the perpetrators inserted.
I look at how the world is watching the U.S. elections Many countries and citizens with no longer a country (because their countries were destroyed by US interventions, wars, or coups or because they lived it - such as Guatemala under Rios Montt who still walks free and should have been assassinated many decades ago!- and that is just ONE example of hundreds) are watching... they've been through the horrors of being voiceless and powerless. So I listen especially to them because they KNOW what it means to have no voice and for many, to run for their lives and that of their family's - same as some of our ancestors did when they emigrated to the US. They lost country, culture, Home. They lost everything. They are the ones who KNOW, and they are watching our elections with held breath.
Use it or lose it - concerning your voice. If you don't vote, then DO something else. Don't just sit there lamenting. The time for sitting on our collective asses is over. If nothing else, do something locally for yourselves and your communities!
We don't have elections, we have selections. Your voted is to decide if brand Red or brand Blue gets to choose the people who will select the Electorates who choose from the two. You are not allowed to choose your leaders, they are chosen for you. Rules for Electorates vary from State to State.
We may not consent but we submit every time we pay taxes because regardless how we vote they'll forcefully and cheerfully take our money and spend it to murder anyone they want including us and do whatever they want whether we voted for it or not. In that respect (just my opinion) the more we can drop out (like the Amish for example) and the more we use harder to tax cash the more we say "I want no part of this". We still have every right to conduct charity etc but it also gives us the right to opt out of things like "gender affirming" genital removal for minors which is sold as "charitable" and king.
For the record. I did not recall Trump saying he'd get rid of income taxes in the Joe Rogan interview. As I recall (now I have to go review:) it was just a free wheeling conversation about the whole concept, purpose and constitutionality of Federal Income taxes. He probably has promised to LOWER Federal Income taxes in campaign mode, but I doubt he's ever said he would get rid of Federal income tax. But repeal of the Federal income tax law IS a rather nice fantasy. But not happening any time soon
They want to get rid of the whole idea of local and community and force you to think global about made up extortion scams like carbon credits.
I agree we need to work on the exorbitant state taxes. Particularly in People's Republic Sanctuary states like where I live. They just come right out and tell you that your taxes are more justly spent on invaders than on your neighbors. So much for the concept of local and community. In the past I would have been more wobbly on the proposition excess reduction because most property tax where I grew up went to schools and we had really great safe schools. But at this point it is CLEARLY out of whack and those alleged school taxes are being used to fund some pretty damaging things.
But all that has changed and is continuing to change. What the state did to public schools during COVID revealed to many of us just what is going on if we had not been in touch in a while. Much as it seems like a pain beginning to look like home schooling &/or private schools that have at least some sane policies is the better option. At the very least you can put them in a environment where out of the gate they don't brow beat you to put your kids in the clot shot and vax schedule lottery. That issue along is disqualifying for public schools in my opinion. The public schools have become indoctrination zones (perhaps they always were) and the worst in my opinion was they were tip of the spear in pushing for clot shots, masking, social distancing and of course the whole LBGTQ+ / Trans agenda. But it is hard to send our kids to alternative schools that reflect saner values and avoid the state sponsored nonsense if they extort your private school money in property taxes.
The change is so radical and so fast that even though I've lived here for decades seems every few months I walk out the door where I live and have that "where the hell am I?" feeling both culturally and atmospheric.
Lots of immigrants around here which is OK in principle, mostly nice people but sometimes I get the feeling they feel less displaced than the natives because they have no background expectation. This is not home to them. It may become home but it isn't yet. I know lots of transplants who've lived here decades and are thinking of retiring "back home" and it is a wistful thought because "back home" is hardly even a concept for many. They ARE home and home is kinda gone. When home no longer feels like home even though you never left it it produces lots of cognitive dissonance. It is not even a matter of going away and coming back. It's a matter of waking up every day in the same place to face a continuously less recognizable place.. You'd think that staying put would shield one from that shock but it doesn't. The pace of change is so fast and so radical you can't keep up
I could list so many things but one that always leaves me stunned is, ...
I never could have imagined that in what seems like a rather short period of time I'd wake up in a culture where government paid government approved and government enabled/encouraged genital removal would be viewed as gender "affirming". We even have candidates promising foreigners, "come to America and we'll hack off your genitals for free".
HUH! Did I miss something?
When did Mengele go from being the icon of Evil to sexy and in vogue? I thought I could depend on mutilation as a bad thing as reliably as Holocaust bad, Nazi Bad, Hitler bad. Turns out you can't rely on any fundamental truths. They're all up for re-interpretation. To the point that if you question it you're some how evil. There are other examples but that one ...??? I can't keep up. Nor do I care to keep up.
Sadly, part of the gender confusion is in our waters - neonicotinoids in pesticides - and that names only one type of hormone disruptor - are in our air, the soils, and all of our waterways. These and so many other hormone disruptors are indeed confusing people about gender. All lifves that rely on our waters are being poisoned and hormonally changed without consent - and then this confusion in the human species is being preyed on by propogandist greedy soulless parasitic scumbags -and sold to our kids through mind control indoctrination disguised as 'tolerance." It's an insidious evil that targets children and youth. I'm not against an adult who's had lots of time and research to ponder the change, changing their gender. I think we need to understand that things like gender manipulation and confusion is a long game programming device, and one of many. People are being conditioned to think in certain ways and these ways are mandated. You can't mandate consciousnes!!
I’m with you Sarah! The older I get the more I come to understand that the history of history is governments committing atrocities against its citizens. Since history is always written by the winners we rarely come to understand how deep the lies go! Thank you!
Good delineation of what happened under whose watch. They are all lifetime actors doing just that for the ones who pull their strings.
The southern people voted to leave the union as promised because of excessive taffifs and taxation from the feds only to have the stuffing and everything else beaten out of them. Hows that for voting counting.
Only local votes count if any do. Local people have to live there. Sherrifs do not have to honor mandates of others if you make them.
THANK YOU! this got me off the fence. was heading to give trump my vote, but the thought kept me nauseous.
you are so right not to give further way to the gatekeepers!
they are all criminals.
i will vote locally, and for good reps state&federal, but NOBODY for president.
NOBODY!
fractuous times ahead for us all, all you good people spend the next few months making your best efforts to be prepared with security, food and water ~ stay safe ~ stand down and off radar throughout whatever comes next in the next few months til the initial dust settles and vision ahead appears more clearly.
BLESSINGS ALL ~ DO YOUR BEST TO DO NO HARM AND CARE FOR YOUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS💗
Wishing for a Pat Buchanan or Thomas Massie. I would even vote for Sarah Palin. But in my lifetime the fix has always been in.
When the last sham was questioned by a whole bunch of states the Supreme Court said nah go away. What a joke of a country. It’s mafia level rackets all the way down, not turtles, rackets.
It seems to me, and I do not think you could find anyone as cynical as me, that you approach leaves something to be desired. I understand as well as anyone here the deep state of corruption that we are in. I understand the players and I understand the futility of thinking that you can "vote one's way out of tyranny." I do not buy the James Corbett and Whitney Webb drink of being anti-Hopium. It sounds cute, but it get tedious---as much as I applaud both for other wake-up instructions they've given. I am not "hopeful" in the way that they pronounce all voters to be. And, please, I am not voting from some sophomoric notion of "the lesser fo two evils." I am making a voting calculation based upon which of my feared outcomes I think that I can live with for long enough to do some good. Not voting is not a good strategy for our "anti-tyranny coalition against the Uniparty and the Garks.
Looking through the comments, I was afraid there wasn’t going to be a voice of reason, but then I saw your comment, a lone voice in the wilderness. Are you as puzzled as I am by people who say that by not voting they are withholding their “consent” to be governed. How does that work exactly? A previous commenter said they had never felt so free. Do they think the government goes through a list of non-voters and removes them from the tax rolls, and do they imagine they can ignore other laws they may find objectionable or inconvenient because they haven’t given their “consent” to be governed? I suggest they test this hypothesis the next time a state cop pulls them over for doing 75 in a 55. I wonder how they think he would respond to their claim that he has no jurisdiction over them because they didn’t vote and thus did not “consent” to be governed.
It’s also odd that people who value the the 1st amendment wouldn’t, at least, vote against an administration who has demonstrated they very much want to remove “misinformation”, as defined by the administration, from all platforms. If they are successful, this post we are commenting on would likely never see the light of day.
People can think what they want about the Uniparty, and I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, but there is no way the two candidates currently vying for the highest office are playing for the same team. There is some type of battle playing out and whether it is between good and evil or two different factions of evil remains to be seen but one thing is certain, regardless of those who may claim otherwise, no one who is on the outside looking in can know, with certainty, which of those two battles is playing out.
For an interesting take on the topic, I just read an interesting post from Mark Bisone, “A Blackpilled Guide to Voting” here on Substack. Somewhat tongue in cheek, but he makes some interesting points.
Dear "Not That Karen," you expressed this matter beautifully and thoroughly. Not voting is just one little form of submissiveness that they want people to exhibit and yield to. Not voting is a form of malignant obedience. These "oh-so-defiant" voters are generally just giving themselves a weak excuse for their laziness. Using their same rationale of ineffectiveness, NOT voting is even more ineffective. Thanks. This was a keeper comment.
If I understand you correctly, and I think I do, your question--a very good one--is directed toward a question of the properties of the elected official's governing actions vis-à-vis their prior campaign promises and whether the former (as those stuffy philosophers say) supervene upon the the latter, that is, the campaign promises. And if not, what can guide one's vote if there is no causal relationship between promise and in-office activities. This is where the person's character and prior hints of how they might--in general--govern. Donald Trump has definitely disappointed in this sense. However, Kamala Harris seems to participate in governance in ways that do not surprise me and in ways that I object to. Thus, I reject her candidacy in favor of a problematic and sometimes unpredictable Trump. That is, I hope you can see, NOT a simple "lesser fo two evils" calculus.
Your calculation will probably not have an effect on the outcome. Both major parties are now in Schrodinger's Electrically Counted Ballot Box...one will survive and 'win', dependant on and subject to the needs of the electricians who have wired our system. My personal voting booth is crowded by Jill Stein and Smedley Butler. Neither will be elected, but one sends a quantum of living anti-genocide, anti-Uniparty energy into the environment. But Smedley's so cool, so...?
Sorry, I was trying to answer your reply during an intermission in a zoom call. I almost misunderstood your remark regarding ". . . a quantum of living anti-genocide, anti-Uniparty energy." Well, that is too woo-woo (please forgive that rapidly-becoming hackneyed term). There is the practical action of meeting others at the polling place, encouraging others and being encouraged by the long lines for your candidate---as I experienced in 2016. But, yes, yes, yes, the electoral activity is not sufficient and it becomes less sufficient when we do nothing in between elections. Politics is too important to leave to politicians. It is OUR job to fix the culture using all of the powers available to us: conversation, economical, entrepreneurial, educational, political, . . . coaching baseball, and on and on. And if you are so inclined, remember to pray. Thanks.
Sir or Madam, I can count. I spend my days often dealing with probablities and reading statistics. Your comment, ". . . a quantum of living anti-genocide, anti-Uniparty energy into the environment," is colorful, but it has no practical meaning.
My comment wasn't about arithmetic, but about a rigged system that is not currently subject to being influenced by our individual participation...at least not on the presidential level. (Just saw your longer reply get posted...no offense taken here on the woo woo categorization...but if prayer has any practical meaning for you, maybe reconsider the practical & spiritual value of voting for somone who isn't promising to give Israel whatever it needs to 'git 'er done'...it certainly won't stop the slaughter, but it might be beneficial in some personal way going forward...and, yeah, do what you can with your local school board & city council...they're influencable.)
Yes, prayer does have meaning to me and I do pray for the Gazan people everyday. If you have seen by Substack page, you will see my recent writings on the matter which appear to be the basis of Twitter blacking me out from even accessing Twitter/X. I opt to burden Kamala Harris with genocide now given the Biden Administration's support for Israel and her claim that she has been intimately involved in his governing decisions. (Whether that is true, or how true it is, is going to have to go unresolved.) Trump's words, I agree, were horrible on this recently--its the campaign cash. Not because he is a deep moralist, but because of his worldly, pragmatic view of building and dealing, he seems to be averse to wars. I think there is some chance that DJT, once in office, will pull the plug on bombing Gaza. I base this on the admittedly vulnerable conjecture on my part that given DJT's frank admission that, in his meeting with Bibi in the past, that it was DJT's realization that Netanyahu did not want peace when it was available. I am praying that DJT disappoints Mrs. Adelson. But, believe me, I am very aware of what we both can see as an alarming set of data re: DJT and U.S. policy towards Israel. See my discussion with the Academic Agent in my Notes section. So, for me, a vote for Harris is a vote to kill more Palestinians, Lebanese and Iranians (not an exhaustive list). To circle back to my original reply to the Conspiracy Sarah, the author of this site, TO NOT VOTE AS A PROTEST IS AS MINISCULE IN EFFECTIVENESS AS VOTING IN TERMS OF ELECTORAL POWER---THE OTHER BENEFITS OF VOTING WHICH I BELIEVE ARE REAL AND SUBSTANTIAL (HUMANS ARE ENCOURAGED BY GROUP EMULATION). Plus, voting, added up, I do believe is important in the collective count, even considering its unreliability. People and groups either not voting, or white women voting for Obama, unleashed a lot of misery--perhaps irreversible--on the nation. I never have much respect for the act of counselling others to not vote. I will save my strong words for that. Thank you infanttyron3 and thank you Conspiracy Sarah for this thread.
Dear Wilson, can you clarify. I cannot figure out which was you old position and which is your new position. Can you explain the reasoning for your switch?
I am tired of all the lies, greed, warmongering, corruption, lawfare, the fed, pharma med complex, CRT, D.I.E. marxist takeover of the military, illegal alien invasion, israel first, career politicians, a pedophile dementia patient potus, leviathan government, lgbtq, trannies, race hustlers, captured msm, three letter agencies that are out of control, murder and debilitating injury by injection, hate for western civilization, 35 trillion debt and much more. I am done with all of it.

Not only that, but FBI whistleblower, Sibel Edmonds, told me that no-one is allowed to attain a position of power in the US government who is not compromised. Look what happens to those work for peace and justice.
Dear Wilson, Re: "I am tired of all the . . . " I could hardly agree with you more. There is the problem. Now, I will ask you (a rhetorical question only): "What is the solution?" Awakening others--as you are doing--is indeed important.
Write in for executive and legislator positions with no good options,
"I, DO NOT CONSENT"
They no longer have the consent of the governed, of We the People. We don't vote for puppets while being stolen from.
Want to really mess with their algorithms, return all you purchased in the last day, last week, last month. Imagine if only 5% of us did it. And then, did not buy for a day, a week, a month.
I'm with you, Sarah!
I DO NOT VOTE FOR WAR CRIMINALS AND MASS MURDERERS.
Yup, me three.
I respect the position. I did decide to re-register to vote as 'unaffiliated' so I could go and write in "Neither choice is acceptable" on the ballot. Felt less passive but result is same as not voting.
Not a wasted vote at all. It shows you do not consent. See my post as that is crucially a vote “against” not a vote “for”.
Do you pay your taxes that are used TO FUND the war criminals whether or not you voted for them? Most of us (me included, me especially) pay our taxes because we don't want to pay the REAL price of resistance. Snowden and Assange paid the price of standing for principle, the rest of us maybe sleep in on election day and try to live with our conscience because we really haven't done much
I can neither confirm nor deny such things. =)
While not confirming or denying:)...
I will say. My whole life I was pretty much OK with paying my taxes. Mostly because we had great public schools and the modest income kids in my demographic got great, near private school level, public school education, based on taxes. I'm not that materialistic and don't mind my taxes going to educate my neighbors' kids (who I know). Each generation takes turn trying to launch the next. Of course it is in the context of community (something they've been trying to destroy) and common culture and values (another thing they've been trying to destroy in the Great Balkanization).
But all that has been eroding and changing radically and I was getting more disenchanted with taxes, because of a growing awareness that it was being weaponized AGAINST us rather than creating the wonderful schools and neighborhood I remember.
There are a million things we could all bitch about, BUT, what clinched it for me was being attacked by a bio weapon and the murderous follow up of the response ALL DONE WITH OUR TAXES.
Drop a nuke on the peeps and don't expect they'll ever be complacent again.
In those moments I went from a somewhat disenchanted but resigned adherent of
"taxes is the price we pay for a civil livable society"
TO
Tax is theft.
The government DOES NOT get to try and bio murder us while saying "it's for the greater good" and expect us to be OKY DOKY with being extorted of our money. We may lab rats, and we may be pretty dumb lab rats sometimes
But we ain't THAT dumb.
Even the lab rats know that tax is theft when it is being used to kill them

This Man Says He LEGALLY Hasn't Paid Federal Taxes In Over 30 Years, “They Are Unconstitutional”
I think I heard Trump talking about this on the Joe Rogan interview or something (not this guy but along the same lines as this guy). I think he threw it out there that Federal taxes are illegal and should be abolished and replaced by tariffs (or something like that). Of course since he's not the dictator they insist he would be he has ZERO chance of abolishing the IRS. Most of his time sadly will probably be spent by the weaponized deep state DOJ (including the FBI & CIA) so the IRS will be a problem to be avoided.
Perhaps I got groggy or heard it in my sleep (it was 3 hours & I often put these things on then fall to sleep) but I could swear I heard him talking about it. It was stunning and refreshing to hear such things coming from a presidential candidate. They say he doesn't read and is not curious about things like philosophy and the constitution but he's obviously done SOME constitution thinking. A lot of the attacks on Trump about not being an "intellectual" is just intellectual elitism anyway. Because he's actually done stuff he's had to think real hard about LOTS of things that others only approach intellectually.
Consent is needed to tax us & pass laws.
True but it's kept a secret. Meanwhile the order of the day is
YOU WILL CONSENT! Else we'll take all you have and toss you in jail
If you're lucky
Same here.
Dummie.
Thank you!
I think voting validates the entire corrupt system. As long as we participate in the rigged system that they created and where they control both candidates, they decide who will win, and it doesn't matter anyway because both candidates agree on what matters to them (herd-culling vaccines and Israel), we can never win. I am with you!
Paying our taxes is even a bigger validation than voting because if we did not fund the SOBs it would be hard for them to fund things like very expensive mk-ultra psyop murder technology or Gain Of Function murder programs and the thousands of other things that provide "good jobs" for thousands but ultimately have little purpose other than mass murder &/or mass control.. As long as we fund the criminals they really don't give a crap about our vote. The price for NOT funding as "a matter of principle" is very steep indeed. When it comes to funding it gets sticky because it may be our job that gets nuked.. It is ever more sticky in a technocratic world because there are good livings to be made creating the technology of mass murder. I'm certainly not ready to stop paying my taxes but am outraged along with everyone else about what's being done with it.
It appears their system runs on printing money out of thin air and making $Billions$ vanish down a hole, leaving no trace. Leaving us to b e l i e v e we hold the rains by way of taxes and voting, as this post perfectly lays out. We will realize the whole mirage in short order, when they step in to not just extort taxes from us, but rob us of all of our belongings and savings outright.
I'm "READY TO STOP PAYING " and I WANT MY PAST TAXES BACK...!!!!!
Right. I severed a lucrative 3 year contract and put the energy into turning my property into a more self-sustaining arrangement. Minimized my bank exposure, shifted investments into tangible assets. Goals: sustainable production, bartering, cash transactions and staying below the taxable bracket. A huge adjustment on a less than 100% suitable frame, needed some compromises, but no longer working for ‘them’. Max resistance without having to resort to jail.
https://odysee.com/@KimIversen:d/this-is-how-you-can-stop-paying-taxes:e
This Is How You Can Stop Paying Taxes Legally, NOW!
PFFFFFFT. Sure, you have "choice", IF you have enough money to move. Libertarian claptrap. As for his smears of Communism, let's get him to debate Richard D. Wolff.
What are you a professor of?
Whatever revenues they don't collect (for whatever reason) they make up for by borrowing from private banksters, at interest. Meanwhile, they take your property/throw you in jail, whatever. So I doubt that refusing to pay taxes is the solution.
Not to mention the fact that for most working people, taxes are withheld weekly. It’s not optional.
YES! Though of course that's just income tax--the only tax we have that even pretends to be progressive. But if you don't file an income tax return, you can't claw any of that back. Though if you have a mortgage, it might be paying your property taxes for you as well. I'm guessing most ppl don't want their house taken away from them....
There are very few solutions. Only half measure mitigations and "making a statement". Only solution is to make better more moral people which is an ongoing failure prone project that seems to run in cycles between "people are really bad, greedy and selfish" to "people are really really really bad, greedy and selfish". Best you can hope (in my opinion) is to keep slogging and do your part to make things better and hope you're lucky enough to not be living in those "interesting times" from the famous curse "may you live in interesting times"
IMHO there's one very good solution: making sure that each household gets as much unconditional cash as Congress gives itself: https://diy.rootsaction.org/petitions/end-poverty-demand-a-ubi-equal-to-what-congress-pays-itself
Because economic justice should be the bedrock of a country's laws, not something that has to have a majority of voters vote for it (even if the votes were getting counted accurately)
Not to mention what the reptilians intend, UN agenda 2030, CBDC, digital I.Ds, 15 min cities, the whole globohomo NWO construct, replacement illegal alien invasion etc etc.
uggggh.... can you think of a more accurate description of the psychopaths than, 'reptilians' - which are creatures of Nature whereas psychopaths and sociopaths and cyborgs are not?
reptiles are cold blooded. Whether creatures of nature or not reptiles are often used historically and in fiction to represent evil. If you can think of a better description then please advise.
I get where you're coming from - all good points about commonly used terms and it's those i object to, not just from you. You were spot on about the misdeeds of these evil creeps. I just happen to love reptiles; they're a part of nature and they fascinate me. are still natural creatures in creation - however one defines what creation means (god/not god/ not sure). cold blooded - they're born that way for whatever reason.
I call the evildoers psychopaths because that seems to define them best. I'm not sure that animals and reptiles can be psychopathic, but with all the endocrine disruptors in our waterways, maybe - sadly - and if so, that cause is partly because of these same creeps and our conditioning to be triggered by certain words - a form of mind control.
I shouldn't split hairs over language, I suppose - but I'd like to think that if we used more precise language it would eliminate a lot of confusion 'they' aim to generate. I can see why people are drawn to the Blble - because the Babel story illustrates how someone or something divided us. I don't like to call it Satan because I'm not religious and that kind of language infuses psychopathy with more power than it deserves to have. I don't have any answers but it's interesting to look at the language we're divided over, and to know that it is by design. I hate to call those kinds of manipulators anything natural - because it's not natural to want to be a megalomaniac. Maybe together we can try to figure out what to call them - scumbags, reprobates, war criminals, genocidal maniacs, torturers - those are some names that come to mind on first thought.
No problem at all.. whatever you want to call them. Say 3 to 5% at the top of the heap are psychopaths. The narcissists, water carriers and order followers are there for other reasons, greed, job, pension, whatever. Makes no difference, they are all evil and don’t get a pass. I did get my eyes targeted by a spitting cobra once. I was wearing glasses and when I took them off, the lens were covered with this milky fluid. I like warm blooded mammals and dolphins, porpoises and whales and a whole bunch of other kinds. But to each their own.
As Mark Twain said, “If voting mattered, they wouldn’t let us do it.” Just told a friend yesterday voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. It’s all Theatre of The Absurd to me.
Reminds me of a meme I may have seen on your stack…NPC w a mask on and syringes stuck all over…Govern Me Harder Daddy. 😂😂😂 Thanks for sharing boldly Miss Sarah! 🙏 You’re certainly not alone. Love to you too. 💖💖💖
And if people do not vote you voted anyway so if you lose more of your freedom than you already have then you cannot complain
Great post Sarah!
Would you vote if you could cast a negative vote? That means, you vote would count as a negative 1.
that's some 4-D Chess there, Roger- and I like it !
(question is, can one un-vote multiple times...?)
I reckon what it boils down to is the need to take a closer look at our understanding of ‘Democracy’. What we will likely find is that it has been sold to us on a pedestal, adorned with a halo which everyone has adopted as the highest measure of political virtue. 2020 should have made it cristal clear, to whom pays attention, that it caters to the hijacking of personal rights and social rule by way of indoctrinated and apathetic masses psyopped by psychological mind warfare. And is the onramp into Marxism unless diligently garded. We cannot drop our shackles using the tools provided by those keeping us hostage.
I think the best thing most people can say is that freedom is defined by having a limited government. Limited means limited. Well defined. Do not let wiggle room for the executive to make inventions. Which means there should not be socialist programs, like public health, public education, espionage everywhere without a warrant, etc. The old ideal of a government of things and not of people. It should be acceptable for most, because most people are not sociopaths, and because freedom means that law enforcement and courts should work autonomously, independent of political whims and machinations. And because in a freedom system the people who do better get more and the people who do worse get less, and criminals are decimated. Freedom is not safe for criminals.
But some people want privileges and guaranteed business and profits. They hate freedom too, like criminals, even if they are not criminals.
How could ever be banks, pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies like today, in a fredom-based system?
Looking over the walls that confine our box is the way forward.

Read the definition of Republic.
Not so sure about Marxism being the threat we are told it is. It's what was and is DONE with Marx's original ideas that should be the concern. This way the master manipulators and propagandists can make something into good/bad or evil without us ever knowing what the purest ideas were really about before they got co-opted by the greedy and power-addicted.
In the wider sense of homeopathy ?
Regardless of the Idea - some will always vie to control it. Just to savour its irresistible flavour. So the recourse lies in personal development of wisdom, alertness and the appreciation of freedom to maintain the value-track on the bumpy road of potholes. This cannot be done by rules and regulations. Sure as shit, we end up in the ditch every time someone lays tarmac.
For years I refused to vote. Especially since 2008.
Yet I decided that i could also ruin the ballot - went and made a statement from my ballot, two times so far.
Big cross over the whole thing and added "I do not consent to...".
I like to think that this kind of action has quite an impact...
Certainly it can not have impact like a collective boycott could have...
hmmm... good food for thought! I still vote locally where I think it counts, but I can certainly write "FARCE!" across the presidential and congressional and judicial fiascos. But then would my local vote count? I think most people are right that voting is supporting the entire fraud system which now, thanks to technocracy, is a global system of greed and corruption.
I HAVE been involved in our small rural community as a non paid citizen journalist reporting on the doings of boards and commissions in taxing districts. When the people are informed and not apathetic, we can get some things done. Sadly, it requires constant vigilance because greed and apathy always take over and people get tired and lazy and things regress pretty quickly in just one election cycle, so I'm questioning everything again - but for me, active involvement in my community and talking with people and educating each other and most of all, listening to one another, sure beats being at each others' throats (which more and more, seems to be what our times hold.) For me, local involvement keeps things civilized in the true sense of the word. You have to see these people in the grocery and hardware store and you quickly learn where people stand (ie mandates vs dialogue and respect of live and let live and do no harm) It may be lost to us on a national level - I think in the US it could lead to civil war. More worrisome to me is to see people I know acting like total intolerant asswipes - on both 'sides.'
Great summary of the president's since Reagan. The only way I can communicate my displeasure for both major parties is to NOT vote. This absurd idea that I MUST vote for someone who stands in opposition to nearly everything that I believe is good and right is insane.
Insane indeed Jody. Cray cray, as the kids say. Not only that, it is a vast fraud covering up the really big fraud ... Caitlin says it best ...

I hope you include Reagan in 'since Reagan.' He was one of the worst 'actors' in the system, setting precedent for what we now have - which is a big fat nothing - and people are still eating up the lies and thinking a political 'savior' from the UniCorporateParty will save us.

No vote is a vote for the status quo. You like the status quo?
Additionally, Trump at least defunded the WHO and is probably going to defund the UN too if elected. Why not support that, or vote down ballot for those that are fighting the system? Not voting doesn't change anything and gives you zero voice.
We already have zero voice. That's the whole point. Voting is the great fraud that fakes the masses into believing they have a voice.
Only when enough people stop validating a thoroughly corrupt system by voting ... will there be any hope of real change.

Call me when we have hand counted actual paper ballots again.
Best of luck,
~~ j ~~
we use only paper ballots where I live - and we have drop boxes for the ballots. And they are hand counted. I would never mail a ballot.
Nice! Where is this enlightened place, if I may ask?
💥👏💥
Most precincts in AK, NH, WV and VT hand count, but not all.
Lee, defeatism is exactly what the oppressors want. Where I live, Florida, Constitutionalism has been empowered over the past six years, thanks to the will of voters. Yes, FL was on the brink of tyranny in 2018 with rampant fraud, but we've cleaned up the system (there's still work to do thanks to the Feds undermining the Citizenry), and Freedom is on fire here. We have a loud voice because we voted for it, defended it actively in public meetings and demonstrations, voted with our wallets, and said bull shit to the tyranny coming from outside the state, rather than sitting around and bitching on a keyboard.
It's work, unlike bitching about things, but it's rewarding.
My point above stands. Not voting doesn't change a thing. It's stupidity to think that it does. Maybe voting doesn't work where you live, so move to somewhere that it does. Staying and bitching only makes you miserable, which is what the Enemy wants, if you don't have the power to change it.
Yeah, I used to think like that too, Crazy P, but I gotta stop short of paintin' you with the stupid brush. Where I come from, it just ain't polite 🤠
Congrats on your wins over there, but no need to for me to move ... I already live in the one state arguably more "free" than the sunshine peninsula.
Thanks for pointing out that bitchin' ain't action. Been preaching that gospel for a month of Sundays. That's why I'm Active in the large and growing movement for Texas Independence. Texit is going to happen, with any luck at all. And God's help of course.
Thanks also for mentioning defeatism, which I frankly have zero time at all for. If you will pardon my reckless preposition dangling. To the contrary, my message and philosophy is sharply focused on tangible and meaningful Actions for freedom executed on a daily basis. Guess we gotta agree to disagree that voting a for president is one of these. But vote local? Hell yeah.
Sixty presidential elections in a row have done little more than continue and accelerate the decline of our once great nation to the precarious juncture at which we currently find ourselves. I simply choose to direct my finite energy elsewhere, that's all.
History tells us that it's time for a much bigger change than the one offered up by continuing with Leviathan. Maybe this will help ya know where I'm coming from ...

Are you sure Trump “defunded the WHO”????

TLV has become a TDS sufferer.
He used to be worth a listen, but not any more.
No vote, is another vote for Kamala.
It is as simple as that.
That's more brainwashing propaganda.
Sure about that?
The article is by Derrick Broze, who is quite informative and legit in my opinion.
Very good article, Whitney Webb had also done extensive research on this too. It’s a huge web of corruption and deception that the masses who scream their support for are oblivious. We have definitely entered the Twilight Zone.
I have a couple of Webb’s books. She’s a wealth of information!
Not voting is not a vote for the status quo.
So I disagree with your contention.
The status quo resulted theoretically resulted from votes cast four years ago.
Not voting is no more likely to see the status quo preserved as overturned.
Also, Sarah didn’t pose the question “How sure are you that votes are counted accurately?”
I’m pretty sure that one of two things is true:
1. The perpetrators own all leading candidates so it makes no difference who votes for what. The perpetrators man or woman ends up in charge.
2. The perpetrators have decided who’s going to win and rigged the process so that this is going to be the declared result regardless of who votes for what.
In U.K., I didn’t bother to vote. As I take no routine media, I didn’t know who got in for a week and couldn’t care less which crook the perpetrators inserted.
I look at how the world is watching the U.S. elections Many countries and citizens with no longer a country (because their countries were destroyed by US interventions, wars, or coups or because they lived it - such as Guatemala under Rios Montt who still walks free and should have been assassinated many decades ago!- and that is just ONE example of hundreds) are watching... they've been through the horrors of being voiceless and powerless. So I listen especially to them because they KNOW what it means to have no voice and for many, to run for their lives and that of their family's - same as some of our ancestors did when they emigrated to the US. They lost country, culture, Home. They lost everything. They are the ones who KNOW, and they are watching our elections with held breath.
Use it or lose it - concerning your voice. If you don't vote, then DO something else. Don't just sit there lamenting. The time for sitting on our collective asses is over. If nothing else, do something locally for yourselves and your communities!
We don't have elections, we have selections. Your voted is to decide if brand Red or brand Blue gets to choose the people who will select the Electorates who choose from the two. You are not allowed to choose your leaders, they are chosen for you. Rules for Electorates vary from State to State.
I DID NOT VOTE! I DO NOT CONSENT! 👉🖕The entire system is despicable and corrupt. I wash my hands of this shit show, bread and circuses!
We may not consent but we submit every time we pay taxes because regardless how we vote they'll forcefully and cheerfully take our money and spend it to murder anyone they want including us and do whatever they want whether we voted for it or not. In that respect (just my opinion) the more we can drop out (like the Amish for example) and the more we use harder to tax cash the more we say "I want no part of this". We still have every right to conduct charity etc but it also gives us the right to opt out of things like "gender affirming" genital removal for minors which is sold as "charitable" and king.
I pay taxes to stay out of jail. Taxes are a sin, Ray!
And I concur with you.
Agreed
I used to see taxes as a responsible charitable citizens' duty. For the obvious reasons
OBVIOUSLY I had not thought it through
NOW it's mere prison avoidance behavior
Took a bio weapon attack to get it through my skull
Tax is theft AND a sin
Trump says he will get rid of income tax!! Yeah right. We need to work in our states to get rid of property taxes, that would be a great start.
For the record. I did not recall Trump saying he'd get rid of income taxes in the Joe Rogan interview. As I recall (now I have to go review:) it was just a free wheeling conversation about the whole concept, purpose and constitutionality of Federal Income taxes. He probably has promised to LOWER Federal Income taxes in campaign mode, but I doubt he's ever said he would get rid of Federal income tax. But repeal of the Federal income tax law IS a rather nice fantasy. But not happening any time soon
They want to get rid of the whole idea of local and community and force you to think global about made up extortion scams like carbon credits.
I agree we need to work on the exorbitant state taxes. Particularly in People's Republic Sanctuary states like where I live. They just come right out and tell you that your taxes are more justly spent on invaders than on your neighbors. So much for the concept of local and community. In the past I would have been more wobbly on the proposition excess reduction because most property tax where I grew up went to schools and we had really great safe schools. But at this point it is CLEARLY out of whack and those alleged school taxes are being used to fund some pretty damaging things.
But all that has changed and is continuing to change. What the state did to public schools during COVID revealed to many of us just what is going on if we had not been in touch in a while. Much as it seems like a pain beginning to look like home schooling &/or private schools that have at least some sane policies is the better option. At the very least you can put them in a environment where out of the gate they don't brow beat you to put your kids in the clot shot and vax schedule lottery. That issue along is disqualifying for public schools in my opinion. The public schools have become indoctrination zones (perhaps they always were) and the worst in my opinion was they were tip of the spear in pushing for clot shots, masking, social distancing and of course the whole LBGTQ+ / Trans agenda. But it is hard to send our kids to alternative schools that reflect saner values and avoid the state sponsored nonsense if they extort your private school money in property taxes.
I went to Catholic school for 12 years…what a difference! Of course I graduated in 1977 😂!
The change is so radical and so fast that even though I've lived here for decades seems every few months I walk out the door where I live and have that "where the hell am I?" feeling both culturally and atmospheric.
Lots of immigrants around here which is OK in principle, mostly nice people but sometimes I get the feeling they feel less displaced than the natives because they have no background expectation. This is not home to them. It may become home but it isn't yet. I know lots of transplants who've lived here decades and are thinking of retiring "back home" and it is a wistful thought because "back home" is hardly even a concept for many. They ARE home and home is kinda gone. When home no longer feels like home even though you never left it it produces lots of cognitive dissonance. It is not even a matter of going away and coming back. It's a matter of waking up every day in the same place to face a continuously less recognizable place.. You'd think that staying put would shield one from that shock but it doesn't. The pace of change is so fast and so radical you can't keep up
I could list so many things but one that always leaves me stunned is, ...
I never could have imagined that in what seems like a rather short period of time I'd wake up in a culture where government paid government approved and government enabled/encouraged genital removal would be viewed as gender "affirming". We even have candidates promising foreigners, "come to America and we'll hack off your genitals for free".
HUH! Did I miss something?
When did Mengele go from being the icon of Evil to sexy and in vogue? I thought I could depend on mutilation as a bad thing as reliably as Holocaust bad, Nazi Bad, Hitler bad. Turns out you can't rely on any fundamental truths. They're all up for re-interpretation. To the point that if you question it you're some how evil. There are other examples but that one ...??? I can't keep up. Nor do I care to keep up.
Sadly, part of the gender confusion is in our waters - neonicotinoids in pesticides - and that names only one type of hormone disruptor - are in our air, the soils, and all of our waterways. These and so many other hormone disruptors are indeed confusing people about gender. All lifves that rely on our waters are being poisoned and hormonally changed without consent - and then this confusion in the human species is being preyed on by propogandist greedy soulless parasitic scumbags -and sold to our kids through mind control indoctrination disguised as 'tolerance." It's an insidious evil that targets children and youth. I'm not against an adult who's had lots of time and research to ponder the change, changing their gender. I think we need to understand that things like gender manipulation and confusion is a long game programming device, and one of many. People are being conditioned to think in certain ways and these ways are mandated. You can't mandate consciousnes!!

They won’t change their policies if they know you’ll vote them for them no matter what they do.
I’m with you Sarah! The older I get the more I come to understand that the history of history is governments committing atrocities against its citizens. Since history is always written by the winners we rarely come to understand how deep the lies go! Thank you!
Good delineation of what happened under whose watch. They are all lifetime actors doing just that for the ones who pull their strings.
The southern people voted to leave the union as promised because of excessive taffifs and taxation from the feds only to have the stuffing and everything else beaten out of them. Hows that for voting counting.
Only local votes count if any do. Local people have to live there. Sherrifs do not have to honor mandates of others if you make them.
THANK YOU! this got me off the fence. was heading to give trump my vote, but the thought kept me nauseous.
you are so right not to give further way to the gatekeepers!
they are all criminals.
i will vote locally, and for good reps state&federal, but NOBODY for president.
NOBODY!
fractuous times ahead for us all, all you good people spend the next few months making your best efforts to be prepared with security, food and water ~ stay safe ~ stand down and off radar throughout whatever comes next in the next few months til the initial dust settles and vision ahead appears more clearly.
BLESSINGS ALL ~ DO YOUR BEST TO DO NO HARM AND CARE FOR YOUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS💗
Wishing for a Pat Buchanan or Thomas Massie. I would even vote for Sarah Palin. But in my lifetime the fix has always been in.
When the last sham was questioned by a whole bunch of states the Supreme Court said nah go away. What a joke of a country. It’s mafia level rackets all the way down, not turtles, rackets.
It seems to me, and I do not think you could find anyone as cynical as me, that you approach leaves something to be desired. I understand as well as anyone here the deep state of corruption that we are in. I understand the players and I understand the futility of thinking that you can "vote one's way out of tyranny." I do not buy the James Corbett and Whitney Webb drink of being anti-Hopium. It sounds cute, but it get tedious---as much as I applaud both for other wake-up instructions they've given. I am not "hopeful" in the way that they pronounce all voters to be. And, please, I am not voting from some sophomoric notion of "the lesser fo two evils." I am making a voting calculation based upon which of my feared outcomes I think that I can live with for long enough to do some good. Not voting is not a good strategy for our "anti-tyranny coalition against the Uniparty and the Garks.
Looking through the comments, I was afraid there wasn’t going to be a voice of reason, but then I saw your comment, a lone voice in the wilderness. Are you as puzzled as I am by people who say that by not voting they are withholding their “consent” to be governed. How does that work exactly? A previous commenter said they had never felt so free. Do they think the government goes through a list of non-voters and removes them from the tax rolls, and do they imagine they can ignore other laws they may find objectionable or inconvenient because they haven’t given their “consent” to be governed? I suggest they test this hypothesis the next time a state cop pulls them over for doing 75 in a 55. I wonder how they think he would respond to their claim that he has no jurisdiction over them because they didn’t vote and thus did not “consent” to be governed.
It’s also odd that people who value the the 1st amendment wouldn’t, at least, vote against an administration who has demonstrated they very much want to remove “misinformation”, as defined by the administration, from all platforms. If they are successful, this post we are commenting on would likely never see the light of day.
People can think what they want about the Uniparty, and I’m not saying it doesn’t exist, but there is no way the two candidates currently vying for the highest office are playing for the same team. There is some type of battle playing out and whether it is between good and evil or two different factions of evil remains to be seen but one thing is certain, regardless of those who may claim otherwise, no one who is on the outside looking in can know, with certainty, which of those two battles is playing out.
For an interesting take on the topic, I just read an interesting post from Mark Bisone, “A Blackpilled Guide to Voting” here on Substack. Somewhat tongue in cheek, but he makes some interesting points.
Dear "Not That Karen," you expressed this matter beautifully and thoroughly. Not voting is just one little form of submissiveness that they want people to exhibit and yield to. Not voting is a form of malignant obedience. These "oh-so-defiant" voters are generally just giving themselves a weak excuse for their laziness. Using their same rationale of ineffectiveness, NOT voting is even more ineffective. Thanks. This was a keeper comment.
How can we know the outcome of either presidential selection? Is the expected outcome based on campaign promises?
If I understand you correctly, and I think I do, your question--a very good one--is directed toward a question of the properties of the elected official's governing actions vis-à-vis their prior campaign promises and whether the former (as those stuffy philosophers say) supervene upon the the latter, that is, the campaign promises. And if not, what can guide one's vote if there is no causal relationship between promise and in-office activities. This is where the person's character and prior hints of how they might--in general--govern. Donald Trump has definitely disappointed in this sense. However, Kamala Harris seems to participate in governance in ways that do not surprise me and in ways that I object to. Thus, I reject her candidacy in favor of a problematic and sometimes unpredictable Trump. That is, I hope you can see, NOT a simple "lesser fo two evils" calculus.
Your calculation will probably not have an effect on the outcome. Both major parties are now in Schrodinger's Electrically Counted Ballot Box...one will survive and 'win', dependant on and subject to the needs of the electricians who have wired our system. My personal voting booth is crowded by Jill Stein and Smedley Butler. Neither will be elected, but one sends a quantum of living anti-genocide, anti-Uniparty energy into the environment. But Smedley's so cool, so...?
Sorry, I was trying to answer your reply during an intermission in a zoom call. I almost misunderstood your remark regarding ". . . a quantum of living anti-genocide, anti-Uniparty energy." Well, that is too woo-woo (please forgive that rapidly-becoming hackneyed term). There is the practical action of meeting others at the polling place, encouraging others and being encouraged by the long lines for your candidate---as I experienced in 2016. But, yes, yes, yes, the electoral activity is not sufficient and it becomes less sufficient when we do nothing in between elections. Politics is too important to leave to politicians. It is OUR job to fix the culture using all of the powers available to us: conversation, economical, entrepreneurial, educational, political, . . . coaching baseball, and on and on. And if you are so inclined, remember to pray. Thanks.
Sir or Madam, I can count. I spend my days often dealing with probablities and reading statistics. Your comment, ". . . a quantum of living anti-genocide, anti-Uniparty energy into the environment," is colorful, but it has no practical meaning.
My comment wasn't about arithmetic, but about a rigged system that is not currently subject to being influenced by our individual participation...at least not on the presidential level. (Just saw your longer reply get posted...no offense taken here on the woo woo categorization...but if prayer has any practical meaning for you, maybe reconsider the practical & spiritual value of voting for somone who isn't promising to give Israel whatever it needs to 'git 'er done'...it certainly won't stop the slaughter, but it might be beneficial in some personal way going forward...and, yeah, do what you can with your local school board & city council...they're influencable.)
Yes, prayer does have meaning to me and I do pray for the Gazan people everyday. If you have seen by Substack page, you will see my recent writings on the matter which appear to be the basis of Twitter blacking me out from even accessing Twitter/X. I opt to burden Kamala Harris with genocide now given the Biden Administration's support for Israel and her claim that she has been intimately involved in his governing decisions. (Whether that is true, or how true it is, is going to have to go unresolved.) Trump's words, I agree, were horrible on this recently--its the campaign cash. Not because he is a deep moralist, but because of his worldly, pragmatic view of building and dealing, he seems to be averse to wars. I think there is some chance that DJT, once in office, will pull the plug on bombing Gaza. I base this on the admittedly vulnerable conjecture on my part that given DJT's frank admission that, in his meeting with Bibi in the past, that it was DJT's realization that Netanyahu did not want peace when it was available. I am praying that DJT disappoints Mrs. Adelson. But, believe me, I am very aware of what we both can see as an alarming set of data re: DJT and U.S. policy towards Israel. See my discussion with the Academic Agent in my Notes section. So, for me, a vote for Harris is a vote to kill more Palestinians, Lebanese and Iranians (not an exhaustive list). To circle back to my original reply to the Conspiracy Sarah, the author of this site, TO NOT VOTE AS A PROTEST IS AS MINISCULE IN EFFECTIVENESS AS VOTING IN TERMS OF ELECTORAL POWER---THE OTHER BENEFITS OF VOTING WHICH I BELIEVE ARE REAL AND SUBSTANTIAL (HUMANS ARE ENCOURAGED BY GROUP EMULATION). Plus, voting, added up, I do believe is important in the collective count, even considering its unreliability. People and groups either not voting, or white women voting for Obama, unleashed a lot of misery--perhaps irreversible--on the nation. I never have much respect for the act of counselling others to not vote. I will save my strong words for that. Thank you infanttyron3 and thank you Conspiracy Sarah for this thread.
that is one take and an understandable one. I thought that way too, once.
Dear Wilson, can you clarify. I cannot figure out which was you old position and which is your new position. Can you explain the reasoning for your switch?
I am tired of all the lies, greed, warmongering, corruption, lawfare, the fed, pharma med complex, CRT, D.I.E. marxist takeover of the military, illegal alien invasion, israel first, career politicians, a pedophile dementia patient potus, leviathan government, lgbtq, trannies, race hustlers, captured msm, three letter agencies that are out of control, murder and debilitating injury by injection, hate for western civilization, 35 trillion debt and much more. I am done with all of it.

Not only that, but FBI whistleblower, Sibel Edmonds, told me that no-one is allowed to attain a position of power in the US government who is not compromised. Look what happens to those work for peace and justice.

Dear Wilson, Re: "I am tired of all the . . . " I could hardly agree with you more. There is the problem. Now, I will ask you (a rhetorical question only): "What is the solution?" Awakening others--as you are doing--is indeed important.
Write in for executive and legislator positions with no good options,
"I, DO NOT CONSENT"
They no longer have the consent of the governed, of We the People. We don't vote for puppets while being stolen from.
