Supply Chain Shortages and Inflation

[Smitty-48]

it's like I would suggest that America's zenith was 1965

but then the Democrats went into the Ia Drang leading to catastrophic military defeat

this was then followed by Nixon coming off Breton-Woods, inciting an economic crisis

and America has never been able to get back to 1965 anymore than we can get back to 1995

catastrophic military defeat followed by economic crisis, this is the historical driver of culture, it's all geopolitics

the empire is collapsing at the geopolitical level, this is inciting a dog eat dog Hobbesian Nightmare culture

the Bills of Rights will not save us, these are mobs of lunatics with torches & pitchforks, they are beyond caring

the scale of this is geostrategic, this is right up there with the French Revolution in terms of implosions

[Smitty-48]

and again, not to thump the Bible

but when things get to dog eat dog Hobbesian Nightmare, who can you turn to then ?

there is only one way out of this, America has to come to Jesus, or whatever you want to call that higher power

you gotta feel good to do good so good things happen, and politics just ain't gonna get you there

there is no atonement in politics, but until there is atonement, we can't move forward

the whole thing can collapse, but the sun comes up the next morning, and the Creator is still there waiting for you

[The Conservative]

I would suggest that Trump simply came too late

the Blue Collars waited too long before abandoning the Democrats

we needed Trump instead of George W. Bush

by the time Bush & Obama had done so much damage, it was too late to save MAGA by then

somebody needed to say the emperor had no clothes much earlier than 2016

it's too late now, everybody knows, but the options have narrowed as the crisis has expanded

the die is cast, we are going to ride this one down as far as it goes, there's no righting the ship at this point

look around, we are being governed by sheer lunacy, actually crazy policies, theatre of the totally absurd

this is the Collapse in progress, right now

I honestly think if we voted in Perot we would have been in a much different situation than we had now.

I don't know

but the catastrophic military defeat that is the GWOT, followed the catastrophic 2008 financial collapse after ?

that changed the culture itself, there's no going back now

The thing is Perot was warning about all of it pretty much, saying we couldn't keep on the path we were without consequences. If people voted for the best candidate instead of the smile... we wouldn't have 90% of what we have now. He warned about the economy, about how to fix it, etc... hard measures required sacrifice for stability...

He didn't sugar coat it... and if we listened, we would have been better off.

Americans never forgiving themselves is not helping

there has to be atonement, or it is stuck where it is now forever

that is what Woke is, Woke is Americans self flagellating without atonement

the great expansion of America was driven by the Creator

that is the exceptionalism, atonement, forgiveness, a second chance

when America comes to Jesus, we will be better off

so long as America is beating herself up, we are in this purgatory

[Smitty-48]

what is the American rule ?

you admit you were wrong, you come to Jesus, then you are forgiven

atonement, that is the exceptionalism, in America, you can always remake yourself

when that comes back, we can move forward, but so long as nobody can be atoned, we are stuck in this ditch

The "Woke" is cancer.

but it's only a symptom

the Devil is simply filling a void where Jesus used to stand, America doesn't work without the Creator

this false idolatry of Woke is the effects of degeneracy, not the cause

[Martin Hash]

It's not like we can change the Temperance ladies; there's no returning to liberty.

[Smitty-48]

it's beyond the scope of mere liberty now

this is degenerating into devil worshipping in effect, the bonds of American society are breaking down

this is deliberate, this is being driven by the Gilded Age 2.0 Robber Barons, they are the devil worshippers

money lenders in the temple, only is only one man who can stop them, the Fisherman

never mind constitutional rights, the light civilization itself is in the balance here, on the brink of a dark age

it's like "Trans", this is an abomination by any measure

they take kids who are not "Trans" and try to make them "Trans", they are out to mutilate children

they want to cut the genitals off boys, cut the breasts of girls, for nothing more than devil worshipping

the routine stuff on the nightly news is becoming the stuff of Dante's Inferno

wanton mutilation of the genitals of children, that is getting into the collapse of civilization zone then

it's like something a godless tribe of lost savages did, just before they went extinct

if America falls to these abominable lunatics, there is no other force that can save the day

I’m still trying to figure out the end goal here, and I’m down to 2 possibilities.

1 - religious nutbaggery: either bringing about End Times by total collapse, or Super Cool Communism.

2 - complete, unforgivable stupidity.
