Excellent! The Dissident Life is calling. We are not many, but we are strong. We are building a future for our children. This is not a high-status life of shiny things, spotlights and activism, but rather hard work, stoic mettle, and spiritual fortitude. It is, however, a life full of Truth & Beauty.

The system is but a cul-de-sac of false offramps to keep you coming back around to lap up the same old lies. The inversion must be righted, one heart at a time. Reject it ALL.

For the sake of your children's children do the work now, have the courage now, to plant trees under which you will never sit to enjoy the shade. Do not indenture them into the empire of lies.

This is the calling of our generation. A great reckoning stands between more dereliction, selling out, and rationalizing submission as necessary. Do not let your kids bury a coward's bones.

Thanks GC. There are scant voices who dare to cross the great divide with the truth of our current station.

This is your best post. Thank you for saying this. Withdrawing from the corrupt system and *fixing ourselves first* is the only meaningful way to fight back. Unfortunately, this approach is continually ignored because it requires effort. It's much easier to hope that somebody else will fight for us.

In addition to what you've said, I'd like to plug Privacy Badger as a simple way to take control of our data trail --

Much great stuff, thank you. I'd add commit to doing positive things for your health (and hence sanity). Not just ditching Big Pharma as far as it is possible -- although that is necessary. Fat Rabbit Iron has a number of great posts on physical, material, and even spiritual self-sufficiency. I'd recommend him to any of your readers who don't know his stuff. https://fatrabbitiron.substack.com/

I'm a bit more positive on Tulsi's statement and recent actions as it seems not yet certain to me that she has simply switched uniforms. More people need to opt-out of the rigged game. You might well be shortly proven right. She at least did answer your query (well-worded, btw). You highlighted well the problems with her response.

The overly intelligent Phillip stopped by my sub and posted this on a somewhat related topic::

## quote ##

Lifestyle is the key. The foundations for political freedom are widespread ownership of capital, savings in a currency that functions as a reliable store of value and the lived experience of personal autonomy. Without those, democracy is a sick joke.

We all need to rethink the culture at a micro level (individuals, families and grassroots communities). People who don't think for themselves as a matter of course cannot function as citizens. And this requires less use of infotainment technology, less consumerism, education in things of substance (maths and languages) and valuing practical skills.

## end quote ##

Thought it worth sharing, so shared. All best!

Thank you for another well reasoned, elegantly stated post. The rising background hum of "red wave" is just as toxic as the past three years of "six feet" and "safe and effective". If it can be reduced to a slogan, it's likely not your benefit.

I had a personal lesson in enslavement on Friday. I moved out to the country a year ago, but had to travel back towards town to go to a wedding. Before leaving, I did a quick search on Google maps (on my laptop) just to verify the route. After the wedding, I had a coupon in my email from a business I used to frequent when I lived in town. I haven't been there for at least three years. Funny thing, the timestamp on the email coupon corresponds to the exact moment that me and my phone were driving by the store.

Remember "kill your television". Kill your cellphone. It's a television on crack.

When I see yet more fake money getting sent away to be stolen or laundered by Ukrainian Nazis I find myself thinking "I didn't vote for this!" Then I see fucking Ukrainian flags everywhere and realise most of the people around me would vote for it in a heartbeat, even as they're made to suffer the consequences of such reckless government policy.

Politics is not real. Its a Hegelian dialectics theater for the "useless eaters":

Yep GC, they're all rotten, the whole lot of them. You don't get to their level of politics without sharing a few drinks of adrenochrome and selling your soul. I would like to think that the libertarians running are trying to make a difference from the inside, but you just never can tell.

Damn! You pulled out all the stops!

Well, you did it again! Thanks.

This morning, Igor shared the almost OPPOSITE recommendation and asked his readers to contribute to DeSantis, Gov Lee (TN) and others who are working to stop the vaxx (except that they are not).

This substack and his are two of my favorites regarding covid (and yours for other things, as well). Yet Igor let me down today just as Steve Kirsch has with his requests to support Ron Johnson (who, too, embraced the shots).

Thank you for your research. I have known several politicians at the local, state, and even federal level. They are opportunistic types, and will switch affiliations and stances depending on what they believe will garner them the most political success. Sickening, actually.

I'm not as cynical of TG as you are TGC, nor as cynical as Carlin. I also fully understand the root of your cynicism and agree with much. I'm just not ready to go totally off-the-grid yet.

The first step is to admit you have a problem.

Even courage has a modicum of self-serving in it.

Her words are one thing. Her actions will determine her sincerity.

I have "hopium" in that I see regular folks all over finally waking up. Not those of us who have always been engaged. But folks who are normally unpolitical. One bit of "hopium" is that more people hear what TG has done and begin their research.

An analogy is the scene in Wizard of Oz when Dorothy melts the witch, and is fearful of the reaction of the flying monkies and the guards. I "hopium" that many, many more begin to sing "ding dong, the witch is dead" regarding the evil glodalists and their satanic cult.

You gotta wake up first to become fully awake.

GC, Another great analysis and straight to the point about Gabbard. She is a politician. She will hedge her bets. I don't trust her or any other. If they can't (who's holding them back?) stand up and back up what they say, f--- em. Her response to you told me she's a hedger. As for someone mentioning Ron Johnson and his efforts to let the public speak in a hearing about their injuries. Well, wasn't that nice. He will get some votes for that. Ron Johnson is wholeheartedly in favor of any and all monies being shoveled to the "war effort to help Ukraine". So to me, he's no better than any other in Congress. Liars, all of them.

Short comment: canning our venison steaks this season as opposed to deep freeze. Long comment: being of an age and with a health condition that requires monitoring and expensive medications cannot go scorched earth there, but have moved out of ‘big Wall Street bank’ to bank based here (TX) and am divesting out of all ESG related funds.

Say what you want about Desantis, but he put the choice of getting children vaccinated in the hands of the only people who have the right to make that choice, the parents. You can't very well blame Desantis for people's stupidity. In a free world, you have to let people be as stupid and ignorant as they want. People have the responsability to educate themselves too, but that's another story.

And giving people the choice to either vaccinate or not, in spite of him getting campaign donations from the pharma industry, is about as far as he can go. In my opinion, if you ban Coca Cola because it's bad for you, you're marching down the same wrong lane as those that would try to make it the mandatory national drink. The company will not stop producing and pushing Coca Cola, it is your responsability and yours alone to stop drinking it. Freedom of choice works both ways.
