REPUBLIC REBORN

While we as a nation often indulge in mindless military worship, we seem to turn a blind eye to the plight of these real flesh and blood human beings who are suffering daily in the military. An example of that immense suffering was recently laid bare by a report from the Pentagon Inspector General, which found that the sexual assault that is rampant within the military is more likely to result in PTSD than combat. This is a travesty, and all those who purport to “support the troops” should be outraged at the suffering endured by the men and women who enlist.

I should also note that among our veterans, another class of soldier that our government ignores, the suicide rate is steadily climbing.

Almost $1 trillion is spent on the military each year. The well-being of the actual people that comprise it should take priority over any new weapons contract or overseas regime-change war.

Great, yet alarming, interview, with Peter Breggin by the great Del Bigtree:

One comment related to Dr. Breggin’s discussion: Americans have settled into a habit of always looking to government to fix problems, or protect us or our children, and we are reaping the fruits of that devil’s bargain. Because, if we ask the government for protection, it will happily oblige, and proceed to bring in industry after industry to do the “protecting”. This mass abdication of parental responsibility, this naive faith that government could possibly protect us from everything, has, perversely, led to a situation where our children are far less safe than they would have been if we as parents began acting like parents. Government can’t protect our kids from dangerous consumer products, or disgusting music or movies, or from the worst aspects of the internet. Only we can do that. It doesn’t even take that much effort, but it’s effort that must be made. Instead of dumping our children in the middle of unfiltered pop culture without giving them any frame of reference, we could guide them and protect them from it. The notion of protecting our kids is now frowned upon and labeled “helicopter parenting”, but how many of today’s generation understand that they didn’t get nearly enough guidance while growing up during the rise of the internet and the proliferation of so much pop culture garbage? If our children are harmed, whether psychologically or physically as a result of exposure to this environment of unfiltered, gutter pop culture or bad food or whatever, it’s not the government’s fault for failing to protect them. It is ours.

The times are changing for the better in a state that is the second only to Louisiana in terms of its incarceration rate. And this is just the beginning, apparently, as Governor Stitt plans on commuting the sentences of up to 2,000 Oklahoma inmates.

Gaggle is a student surveillance service that monitors millions of U.S. schoolchildren for the ostensible reason of keeping them “safe”, and charging schools thousands in the process.

From the Buzzfeed article:

A college student whose middle school used Gaggle told BuzzFeed News that the tool taught them that they would always be watched. “I feel like now I’m very desensitized to the threat of my information being looked at by people,” they said.

Desensitization to constant surveillance is not something a free society should engage in. We’ve allowed our children to be exposed and captured by industry, whether surveillance, medical, or another, and now we’re reaping the consequences.

Tulsi calls for declassification of probe into Saudi involvement in 9/11 in an excellent appearance on the Tucker Carlson show.

Now polling 4%, Tulsi now trails behind only Biden, Warren, Sanders, and Buttigieg, with Kamala and Andrew Yang polling 3%.

The powerful acolytes of the Clinton Doctrine are eager to rid the race of Tulsi, but she’s not going anywhere. They’re terrified of her, because she is so convincing, courageous, and charismatic in her message, and anyone that listens to her for more than 5 minutes usually becomes a fierce supporter.

“I can defeat Trump and the Clinton Doctrine”. Good god, that’s a slogan the entire nation can get behind.

8 babies died in their sleep over a period of five months on the Treasure Coast, five of which happened in St. Lucie county.

This can’t be swept away, or ignored any longer.  We are experiencing the effects of man-made disease, the end result the Medical Class’ obsession with chemical-laden interventions into the lives of otherwise perfectly healthy children. I realize that criticism of healthcare providers is taboo, despite the fact that their blunderings lead to the avoidable deaths of upwards of 250,000 Americans each year.  What if there are other, more insidious blunderings occurring out of sight, pointedly avoided for fear of what might be found? And what will that turning of a blind eye result in?

A V of black swans is just over the horizon, headed our way. And there is no one to blame but ourselves We’ve welcomed them, creating a perfect habit for their existence.
