We have a decision to make as a society. Either we allow the "authorities" to take over, and we are bound by their chains (these chains are wrapped around our thought; not allowed to wrong-think), or we expose them for the malicious, malevolent fraud they have been for the past 75 years. The lines are now drawn, but the outcome is still uncertain. In order for individual freedom to succeed, there's going to have to be a much more fundamental change in our governing institutions than anyone near the center is remotely considering so far. At the same time, however, the popular mood is moving in the right direction in the US and Europe. It just still has significantly further to move to stamp out completely the socialist anti-individualist rot which has collected for decades. One heart, one mind at a time...

How come it was starting to gain attention in Trump's first two years then started to take a back seat? We are now back to Oh Liar era where it was back to whispering behind closed doors. This is like during the Stamp Act now where British Troops were sent to listen into stairwells for any talks of 'overthrow' and rely on keywords to report back.

A key difference between the current Obama 3 admin and the Obama 1&2 admins: there is now widespread recognition (including on the left, though they are scared to admit it, even to themselves) that 1) Obiden is cognitively incompetent and 2) his administration - whoever is tasked with making the real decisions, including obviously Obama1 and Clinton - are enacting policies that have no popular support among any constituency. Obama1 still maintained the veneer of legitimacy; people believed his policies did represent large numbers of people - even when they disagreed with those policies. People no longer believe (again, even on the left) that any of the policies are based on any popular support at all, just pure power/money politics.

They know they are in trouble. Thus the censorship of all levers they can pull, which is what you started this thread with. Censorship makes explicit the control they used to be able to exert with greater subtlety. Now that they are being "pulled from behind the curtain," the clock is running, and they know it.

The center senses what's going on, but is not yet viscerally angry enough to act rather than bitch. When the center starts real action (in whichever direction they move), things will change very quickly, either for better or worse. I really really hope people want individual freedom and responsibility enough to reject the false "goody bag" the socialists are throwing at them.

The real people in charge are those at the center of the Venn diagram when you list everyone in the Atlantic Council, Council On Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, PNAC, etc etc etc.

What I see is actual Russian Revolution rather then American Revolution. Russian Revolution was a six sided war that all ended badly as different factions killed each other off and they went into hard communism never giving what was promised because it isn't physically possible. Laws of supply and demand still exist even under communism no matter how hard they try to deny such silly mundane stuff.

    The words 'kill' or 'Jesus' are some words prohibited.
