Totally sympathise with your opening remarks about being in the dark for most of my existence (40 years). I continue to be amazed about the things I continue to learn almost on a daily basis. And I have the COVID plandemic to thank for that. Had they not panicked and overplayed their hand I and many others would probably still be in the dark and call the people I've now become "Crazy!"

:) Thanks for your wonderful and informative posts!

I've been ready for over a decade now... just waiting for others to catch up.

They went too fast after removing orange man bad. Watch crime, food rationing and social unrest intensify from Labor Day onwards. Their problem is nobody believes system media other than the sheep who’ve add taken the shots.

Sign me up. Corporations such as the airline, food, agriculture, automakers and all consumer goods manufacturers, I would imagine have had enough of the last two years attempts, by unelected globalists, to further destroy economies, or what is left of them. It was pointed out at the beginning of the plandemic that this was an attempt to distract people’s attention away from the unsustainable levels of national debt. Or as the Americans call it, “kicking the can down the road”.

Our advice to klaus, gates, Biden, macron, Trudeau, Arden, Johnson, and all the others involved in this toxic distraction is to get back into your lane, and stay there. We have had enough.

The push is so hard, so obvious, so relentless, one can only think such revolution has always been part of the plan.

We're in for a wild ride no matter what.

There seems a quickening. I have been expecting this at least since 2008. The regime, despite the complexity of it, despite the immense power of it, despite the seeming invincibility and inevitability of it, is incredibly fragile, it has strayed so far from reality, has become so rapacious and appears incapable of keeping itself from perpetrating genocide. I'm trying to think creative about it how to face it.

A great quote from a friend and admirer of America:

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” – Winston Churchill

I’d like to believe we will get a critical mass on our side, but when I see how many people are still stuck in the two party BS, I have my doubts. As long as people remain plugged into the propaganda matrix, they are just too easy to manipulate. Therefore, the prerequisite condition is for people to unplug from the propaganda. How do we achieve that? There is a process of awakening, but what is its true velocity? My immediate set of friends and family are still stuck in the matrix. I believe that on-line communities are badly skewed in direction of our own biases and it should not be relied on to figure out the rate of awakening.

"However, every few hundred years, for whatever reason, the commoners are compelled to rise up and overthrow the “elites” that illegitimately govern them." My unqualified guess is the hubris always get the better of the elites and they become so detached from the reality that they inevitably cut the branch they perch on. "Let them eat cake", so to say. Or "have no hope and obey the cabal".

“For thousands of years, the common person - the plebs, serfs and modern-day tax-payers - has overlooked the fact that the organisational structure they adhere to is typically a greater threat to their liberty, health and fulfilment than the threats it ostensibly purports to defend them from.”

Amen, Joel!

I’m ready for the revolution, although I would argue it’s actually a counterrevolution to combat the revolution the philanthropaths have already set in motion.

Appropriately, I just started listening to Hannah Arendt’s “On Revolution” and found this quote particularly salient:

“In a constellation that poses the threat of total annihilation through war against the hope for the emancipation of all mankind through revolution—leading one people after the other in swift succession ‘to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them’—no cause is left but the most ancient of all, the one, in fact, that from the beginning of our history has determined the very existence of politics, the cause of freedom versus tyranny.”

Dominic Frisby wrote a great book "Life After The State" a fair while back. IIRC its subtitled something like "...and why we don't need it", and if only for its opening revelations alone, about how small and non-encroaching upon our daily lives western nations were even just a century or so ago, I thoroughly recommend it, as in required reading category, along with "Bitcoin" by the very same geezer, for understanding and pointers to the actionable solution that is BTC.

I've been ready for a long time. Long before covid.

I disagree with the final paragraph, though. Borders are necessary and a realisation that we must strengthen them to maintain civilization will be an inevitable feature of the next era. Indeed, it is the elites who have been pushing for a borderless, globalised world.

Ready as I’ll ever be. I’ve been thinking they would have been better off pretending to respect peoples autonomy because the heavy handed approach was a dead giveaway to many who initially had no suspicion that anything was wrong. Now they have shoved together resisters from across various demographic lines. One of my favorite moments from Defeat the Mandates Jan 2022 is the one from Rizza Islam, acknowledging that the draconian pressure created a diverse resistance movement, “They really didn’t expect all of this.” DEI consultants, take note on how to create a diverse community cooperating w each other in service of a common cause...

There is nothing new or sophisticated about the so called "elites" attempting to control and enslave everyone else, again. Just the same old self serving behavior of mentally disturbed megalomaniacs which is observed through history once they manage to seize enough power.
