\u201cThere are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.\u201d<\/em> \u2015 Vladimir Ilyich Lenin<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019ve got here is\u2026 failure to communicate. Some men you just can\u2019t reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it\u2026 well, he gets it. I don\u2019t like it any more than you men.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Captain \u2013 Cool Hand Luke<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It is fitting that I use a quote from a communist to begin this article because it is the communist ideology of hate, murder, and propaganda that has led us to this point of no return. Charlie Kirk was right. America will never be the same. It might not even closely resemble the America at the start of this century by the time this period of upheaval and crisis resolves itself, with the shedding of much blood and death on a scale not seen since World War II. Charlie Kirk was Cool Hand Luke\u2019d for daring to challenge the status quo and daring to question the psychopathic powers that be in this prison planet of our own making.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The senseless slaughter of Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk were the opening salvo in a new U.S. civil war, which is likely to spread to the U.K., Ireland, France, Germany, Australia and wherever else the globalist elite have planted the seeds of revolution through importing Muslim hordes, criminalizing whiteness, glorifying deviancy, outlawing free speech, bankrupting nations, and promoting WW3. The chaos, confusion, vitriol and mayhem is not happening by chance. It is being manufactured by those constituting the invisible government (aka Deep State<\/a><\/strong>) as a means to their end game \u2013 Digital IDs, CBDCs<\/a><\/strong>, Social Credit Scores, 15 Minute Cities (Gulags), Great Taking<\/a><\/strong> leading to the Great Reset<\/a><\/strong>, and the depopulation of millions with the dehumanization and subjugation of the survivors.<\/p>\n

What is happening is not a bug, but a feature in the new world order they envision. The last couple weeks certainly meet Lenin\u2019s criteria of decades happening, as the whirlwind of tragedy, anger, threats, retribution, legacy media lies, political posturing, international coalitions forming into war-like postures, all capped off by the cold blooded murder of \u201cthat white girl\u201d by a feral psychotic dangerous black man set loose by a black woman pretending to be a judge, and the assassination of an earnest young christian conservative man who was trying to sway minds and hearts through debate, evidently by an ANTIFA inspired transgender dropout loser who spent his life online with other losers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I say evidently because I don\u2019t believe anything the government or media tells me. There are dozens of unanswered questions regarding this 22 year old Tyler Robinson as the shooter. Based on what we have been told by the authorities regarding Thomas Crooks, the 20 year-old Butler assassin, I don\u2019t expect any truthful revelations regarding Kirk\u2019s assassin. An official narrative will be concocted, fed to the MSM mouthpieces, and devoured by the ignorant masses as the truth. Questioning the official story will be shouted down as conspiracy theories, even though the conspiracy theorists are now 40 \u2013 o versus the official stories over the last decade. Our lives don\u2019t matter, but narratives do matter to those pulling the strings.<\/p>\n

Even worse was the complete blackout of Iryna\u2019s murder by the far left dying legacy media. The alt-media forced the world to witness the consequences of left wing policies of encouraging crime and refusing to lock up dangerous black men. False narratives are all the left have. The dying legacy left media live up to Huxley\u2019s observations regarding the truth:<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth.\u201d \u2013 <\/em>Aldous Huxley<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Personally, the images of that beautiful helpless girl staring in stunned terror at the savage beast who just slaughtered her because she was white, and the instantaneous death of Charlie with the blood pouring out of his neck wound have disturbed and haunted me for this entire week. I haven\u2019t been able to sleep. I feel like I\u2019ve been going through the motions at work and at home, as a feeling of foreboding envelopes my consciousnesses. I\u2019m sure others have a similar feeling.<\/p>\n

The last time I felt this way was the week following 9\/11<\/a><\/strong>. I knew the world had changed and the change was not going to be good. The world has once again taken a turn for the worse. There will be no reconciliation between the right and the left. There will be no peace. There will be no turning the other cheek and coming together as a nation. Unification is impossible. You will be required to choose a side, because the violence has only just begun. It will only intensify from this point until there are clear winners and losers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That young refugee from Ukraine was going home from her shift at a pizza joint. It\u2019s ironic that she would have still been living peacefully in Ukraine if the U.S. had not initiated the hostilities by overthrowing the democratically elected government in 2014<\/a><\/strong>, as the neocon\/Deep State<\/a><\/strong> plan to overthrow Putin by goading him into WW3 was hatched. The millions of deaths and casualties in Ukraine are directly attributable to the dastardly actions of Obama, Biden, Nuland, Graham, McCain and the rest of the warmongering bastards that instigated this war. That racist feral dog that murdered Iryna in cold blood shouldn\u2019t have been on that train either. The left wing communist DAs and judges who released this violent unhinged savage 14 times have her blood on their hands. Both seats should have been empty, but that image of savagery will now encourage a race war.<\/p>\n

I know every right leaning talking head, twitter influencer, blogger and politician has been mourning the death of Charlie Kirk on social media at a deafening crescendo, trying to outdo each other in their level of tributes, video compilations, and pictures of his wife and children. He is being treated as a Jesus-like martyr, with connotations of JFK\u2019s Camelot<\/a><\/strong> lost. Some said he was destined to be president within the next decade. Maybe so, but we will never know.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Charlie<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Truthfully, until he was murdered this week, I knew very little about the man. I knew he was a popular right leaning commentator, but I had never heard him speak or followed him on twitter. I pretty much lumped him with the other right wing influencers, who make a living off tweets, podcasts, youtubes, and blogging. Everyone\u2019s gotta make a living somehow. They are in a constant battle for likes, retweets, impressions and eyeballs. I\u2019m always suspicious about whether they are paid to support a certain point of view or actually believe what they say.<\/p>\n

He was 31 and I\u2019m 62. His Turning Point USA<\/a><\/strong> organization was geared to mobilize idealistic young conservative people to embrace conservative family values. After 17 years of trying to change hearts and minds, my site generally attracts cynical old dudes who despise the government and media, knowing change through the ballot box is a fruitless venture. The best we can do now is tribe up with like minded people, gather our preps, make sure we are heavily armed, and buy more ammo. Nothing I\u2019ve seen in the last couple weeks tells me to do otherwise. This train is moving too fast towards the bend, and derailment is a certainty.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

From what I could gather, Charlie was an intelligent, loving Christian family man, who loved spirited debates with those who had opposing points of view. His debating skills were clearly top-notch. The left wing loons in the media, on college campuses, and in politics despised him because he was more intelligent and articulate in presenting his viewpoint, as they shrieked at, threatened and cancelled those who supported him. The brainwashing of our indoctrinated youth by left wing communist ideology has convinced millions to actually believe Kirk, Trump, Musk, Carlson, etc., are nazis and fascists \u2013 deserving to be murdered for their cause. Their warped ideology kills.<\/p>\n

Kirk\u2019s Turning Point USA<\/a><\/strong> non-profit is essentially a rounding error compared to the Soros NGOs, Gates Foundation, and USAID grifts funding chaos and hate across the land. I checked their 990 Tax return and total donations were $85M, with Kirk\u2019s annual compensation around $400k. Pelosi makes more than that with one insider stock trade. He surely also made significant income from Twitter, podcasts, books, etc. But, he wasn\u2019t what I would call a grifter.<\/p>\n

His views pretty much aligned with mine on most major issues \u2013 Ukraine war, the Israeli genocide, bombing Iran for Israel, abortion, tranny degeneracy, woke indoctrination in schools, 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, covid vaccines, masks, Snowden<\/a><\/strong> & Assange<\/a><\/strong>, and the Deep State<\/a><\/strong> . He did not deserve to die and making him a martyr will ultimately backfire on those celebrating his murder. Cancellation goes both ways, they are finding out.<\/p>\n

More people have now read and watched his speeches\/debates in the last few days than would have ever been introduced to his views over their lifetimes. His death has created more anger and desire for retribution than I\u2019ve witnessed in the course of my life. Will it be a Boston Tea Party<\/a><\/strong>\/Fort Sumter<\/a><\/strong> moment, triggering a revolution\/civil war? Time will tell, but we know one thing for sure, Fourth Turnings<\/a><\/strong> never de-intensify. I would say in this past week we have experienced an intensification of our ongoing crisis, with the bloodiest and most intense years yet to come. Tragic iconic photos from my lifetime have marked turning points for the country, and I believe the two photos above will sadly mark a new turning point of death and destruction.<\/p>\n

I was six months old when my government murdered JFK<\/a><\/strong>. The images from the Zapruder film<\/a><\/strong> are disturbing and sad, but the murder of our young president because he threatened the CIA\/FBI\/Deep State changed the course of our country to the detriment of all but those constituting the Deep State<\/a><\/strong> and their billionaire benefactors. Our young have been dying, while those running the show have utilized all the propaganda tools at their disposal to breed hate and fear. Keeping the masses focused on their differences, ensures they don\u2019t all realize the true enemy are those pulling the strings and manipulating the masses, as described by Edward Bernays<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Look at your young men fighting<\/em>
Look at your women crying<\/em>
Look at your young men dying<\/em>
The way they\u2019ve always done before<\/em>
Look at the hate we\u2019re breeding<\/em>
Look at the fear we\u2019re feeding<\/em>
Look at the lives we\u2019re leading<\/em>
The way we\u2019ve always done before<\/em><\/p>\n

Civil War \u2013 Guns N\u2019 Roses<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And history hides the lies of our civil wars<\/em>
\nD\u2019you wear a black armband when they shot the man<\/em>
Who said, \u201cPeace could last forever\u201d?<\/em>
And in my first memories, they shot Kennedy<\/em>
I went numb when I learned to see<\/em>
\nCivil War \u2013 Guns N\u2019 Roses<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Two tragically iconic photos during the Vietnam War<\/a><\/strong> were turning points in convincing average Walter Cronkite<\/a><\/strong> watching Americans we should not be there, sacrificing our young men, killing women and children, and turning our military against college students protesting against another war fought by the poor to benefit the rich. The American empire has degenerated into Murder Inc., spreading death and destruction across the globe to enrich the military industrial complex and the parasite politicians fueling the war machine with our tax dollars, while burdening our children with an unpayable debt.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So I never fell for Vietnam<\/em>
We got the wall in D.C. to remind us all<\/em>
That you can\u2019t trust freedom when it\u2019s not in your hands<\/em>
When everybody\u2019s fightin\u2019 for their promised land and<\/em>
\nI don\u2019t need your civil war<\/em>
\nCivil War \u2013 Guns N\u2019 Roses<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The photos of the World Trade Center towers<\/a><\/strong> on fire shortly before collapsing into their footprint became the defining moment of this century, thus far. We know the neo-cons (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz) who used the moron baby Bush to kick-start their agenda by pushing through the pre-written Patriot Act<\/a><\/strong>, ushering in the ever expanding surveillance state, have seized control of government and set us on a path to destruction. We\u2019ve been spilling blood across the globe, while adding debt at a hyper-sonic pace, based upon lies, corrupt leadership, and at the behest of a globalist billionaire death cult. And here we stand at the brink of a civil war and global conflict, with unknown but likely terrible consequences.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Look at the shoes you\u2019re filling<\/em>
Look at the blood we\u2019re spilling<\/em>
Look at the world we\u2019re killing<\/em>
The way we\u2019ve always done before<\/em>
\nLook in the doubt we\u2019ve wallowed<\/em>
Look at the leaders we\u2019ve followed<\/em>
Look at the lies we\u2019ve swallowed<\/em>
And I don\u2019t want to hear no more<\/em>
\nCivil War \u2013 Guns N\u2019 Roses<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

We are currently in an existential battle between good and evil. The murderous bastards who killed Iryna and Charlie were the personification of evil, motivated by the satanic urging of the Soros<\/a><\/strong>, Gates<\/a><\/strong>, Obama, Clinton cult of death. The Democratic party is infested with evil men and women, hellbent on the destruction of our country through the promotion of depravity, social chaos, and rampant criminality without consequences. The real deplorables in this country who cheered Kirk\u2019s death and felt sorry for the black devil who slaughtered \u201cthat white girl\u201d are evil. The despicable excuses for journalists in the far left propaganda media are evil.<\/p>\n

All of these people are your enemy. Many of your neighbors, coworkers and family are your enemy. They would not shed a tear at your death. We have passed the point of no return. I wish I could visualize a near term positive outcome, but that is impossible after this week. As another old time cynic declared a century ago, normal people need to hoist the black flag.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.\u201d<\/em> \u2015 H.L. Mencken<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A current day cynic<\/a><\/strong>, and someone the left would also like to kill,\u00a0 captures my thoughts exactly. I will not unite or let bygones be bygones with people who wanted me to die for refusing the covid jab and would spit on my grave based upon my views on the Constitution, unwarranted wars, the welfare state, surveillance state, government spending, and the degeneracy of the left. We are already at war, but most don\u2019t realize it yet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve tried to live in peace, minding our own business, turning the other cheek, and hoping the crazed leftists would fade away, because their ideas are evil and insane. We just wanted to be left alone, but they forced millions to get jabbed with Big Pharma poison under threat of being fired, hoisted their transgender deviancy upon our children, indoctrinated our young with communist bullshit in government schools, opened our borders to third world invaders, burned our cities while making a drug addicted black criminal their fake martyr, placed low IQ diversity stooges in key positions of power, encouraged criminality with no consequences, stole elections, and now they are killing the best of us. It is now time for all normal people to channel William Munny<\/a><\/strong> and do whatever is necessary to defeat the evil forces opposing us. Words matter, but actions speak louder than words.<\/p>\n
