The Transformation Of Our Nation Into A Complete Surveillance State Is Almost In Place: “You’re Known, Your Vehicle Is Known, Your Daily Itinerary, Shopping Habits… It’s All Being Recorded”  |
| The headlines are awash with the recent tensions with North Korea, and most are focused intently upon this act of the play that has been running hot for several years, now. Akin to the proverbial frog in cold water, however, we are not paying as much attention to the surveillance state that is continuing to wrap its tentacles around us. Eurasia is our ally, Eastasia is our enemy…and nobody notices that the chocolate ration has been diminished. While everyone focuses on what is reported in theWednesday, February 17, 2021 |

 Better than the alternative  |
| As people age we sometimes hear them say it beats the alternative, which is usually left unsaid.It’s an old joke technology aims to eliminate by treating aging as a disease and curing it.
But there’s another sense in which the alternative is assumed to be far worse than the present condition. I’m referring to the type of government almost all people live under, which is the nation state. As bad as states might be — we’ve all been taught — it certainly beats the alternative, anarchy.

| Ominous Musings on America – 2018 |
| Decay and despotism invade our lives today like gangrene creeps up the limbs of a wounded soldier in the festering fields of war. Our Washington pols swagger through fulsome milieus of political putrescence and graft. Establishment pundits spew hysterical falsehoods on a daily basis. FOMC bureaucrats print fake money like mountebanks spin shell games to carnival dupes. Special counsel shysters conduct corrupted investigations to overturn the rightful will of the people.

 Donald Trump – Modern Day Walpole  |
| “Hatred of Walpole was almost the only feeling which was common to them. On this one point they concentrated their whole strength. With gross ignorance, or gross dishonesty, they represented the Minister as the main grievance of the state. His dismissal, his punishment, would prove the certain cure for all the evils which the nation suffered. What was to be done after his fall, how misgovernment was to be prevented in the future, were questions to which there were as many answers as there were nSunday, January 7, 2018 |

 Nietzsche, Trump, and the Political Left |
| The German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, warned us back in the 19th century with his famous theme, the “Transvaluation of Values.” An ominous world dictatorship was coming where good would become evil, and evil good. Freedom would be thought of as slavery, and slavery would become freedom.
He “boldly prophesied that power politics and vicious wars were in store for the future. What he sensed was an approaching period of nihilism, the seeds of which had already been sown.” [1]

| Car Deals: Must Be Subprime, Must Finance Through Chrysler Capital |
| Reader Bian emailed an ad for huge discounts on cars. The fine print is rather amusing: Must be subprime and must finance through Chrysler Capital.
Frequently, when you see an ad “only x available at this price”, there are really none available at that price. They all went to friends of the dealer.
I called about the 2017 Patriot and there were still some left but they were “going fast”.
The ad reads “Primary customer must have a FICO score below 620 and must finance through Chrysler Capital”

| What’s Triggering The Left Now: Soon You Won’t Be Allowed To Say “Patriot” |
| There was a time when liberals and conservatives both agreed on one thing. They both used to love their country. Though they differed on what values and policies would be best for their homeland, they still had that shred of common ground.
That’s clearly no longer the case. Across the Western world, you’ll find that even moderate liberals are often uncomfortable with terms like “patriotism” and “nationalism.” As for the far-left, they now view these terms as poisonous and archaic. That’s becauseThursday, June 15, 2017 |

Last night Tucker Carlson danced circles around Dan Siegel, the civil rights attorney representing Berkeley bike lock attack suspect Eric Clanton who may be facing more than 40 years in state prison. Siegel, an activist lawyer, former Oakland mayoral candidate, and community organizer who led a moment of silence for 'brother comrade' Hugo Chavez in 2013, thought he could try lawyer-talking his way around Tucker's questions. Nope. Carlson went in witWednesday, May 31, 2017 |

Did the Government Spy on Trump Of Course. It Spies on All of Us!  |
| There was high drama last week when Rep. Devin Nunes announced at the White
House that he had seen evidence that the communications of the Donald Trump
campaign people, and perhaps even Trump himself, had been "incidentally collected"
by the US government.
If true, this means that someone authorized the monitoring of Trump campaign
communications using Section 702 of the FISA Act. Could it have been then-President
Obama? We don't know. Could it have been other political enemies lookingMonday, March 27, 2017 |

| The Deep State, Trump, and JFK |
| Donald Trump is a revolutionary, and government establishments loathe revolutionaries. This has been so since human societies began. Those who threaten any society’s prevailing power blocs with a diminishment of their prestige and influence are always targeted by those power blocs as an enemy to be undercut, smeared, and even exterminated if necessary. This is a law of politics that is as assured as the flow of tides and the paths of the planets.

| Freedom’s Leftist Enemies |
| One of the tragic ironies of history is that the very moment freedom was given birth in America in 1787 with enactment of our Constitution in the wake of the Declaration of Independence, the concept of freedom itself came under direct assault from the philosophical thinkers of Europe, which laid the groundwork for the massive statisms of the modern day. This is because ideology moves history. Mankind’s societies are shaped by the prevailing ideas that have gained prominence among the great mindsSunday, January 15, 2017 |

Epstein discusses the Fable of Edward Snowden
At the forefront of Epstein’s claims is the fact that Snowden lied. “As he seeks a pardon, the NSA thief has told multiple lies about what he stole and his dealings with Russian intelligence,” says Epstein.

| It’s early Wednesday morning, and I could not be more thrilled – as indeed, as I have loudly predicted since the day after the BrExit, Trump not only won, but did so in a landslide! Sure, America’s deadly demographics – featuring an explosion of welfare-seeking immigrants; plus tens of millions of disenfranchised “locals” desperately seeking the same, made the result closer than the underlying sentiment of hatred for the establishment, and a desire for change.

| Trump Wins the Presidency! |
| Great day in the morning. The hated honchos of Washington and their media lackeys have been routed like seedy oligarchs in the Caribbean. Globalism has been roundly rejected. The Clinton Cartel has been told to take their insufferable governmentalism elsewhere.
Donald Trump has defied all odds and has won the Kentucky Derby as a thoroughbred with no prior races. He was counted out from the beginning by all “experts” everywhere. They treated him like they would treat an orangutan at a tea party. Wednesday, November 9, 2016 |

Note that Chuck Baldwin shows no inclination to political parties – a refreshing approach in today’s ‘my clown is better than your clown’ political mentality.
