This is a great article. It is not worth your freedom to be arrested and have a little checkmark of what you’ve done when you have a background check flying into countries traveling. But freedom speech is a privilege. It’s not done with tyranny and following ICE and growing things. They were civil in most cases until you touched or push someone. Then it becomes a serious, and not a civil protest. Now we have so many being paid protesters where it’s not Organic! Instead it is a communist regime trying to undermine our beautiful country.🇺🇸💔
Ugh, none of this is as it seems. Mr. Muse, this may be of interest:
"If you catch 100 red fire ants as well as 100 large black ants, and put them in a jar, at first, nothing will happen. However, if you violently shake the jar and dump them back on the ground the ants will fight until they eventually kill each other. The thing is, the red ants think the black ants are the enemy and vice versa, when in reality, the real enemy is the person who shook the jar. This is exactly what's happening in society today. Liberal vs conservative, black vs white, pro mask vs anti-mask, vax vs anti-vax, rich vs poor, man vs woman, cop vs citizen, immigrant vs citizen. The real question we need to be asking ourselves is who's shaking the jar ... and why?" —Shera
President Obama's Warning: "You just have to flood a country's public square with enough raw sewage, you just have to raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theorizing that citizens no longer know what to believe. Once they lose trust in their leaders, in mainstream media, in political institutions, in each other, in the possibility of "truth", the games won."
We are those ants and that society and all that we are witnessing is contrived to destroy the United States—both sides of the blackmailed isle are in on it. Here are the WEF 2030 goals:
1) America will no longer be a super power
2) You will own nothing and be happy
To achieve this they have to destroy the old order first before they can usher in their new total surveillance tyrannical super state. To achieve that they are mercilessly dividing and conquering us which is the oldest playbook for control that exists. Here is how:

Ten Ways Billionaires Who Hate You Are Manipulating You Right Now by @thewisewolf
1) The first manipulation is the illusion of choice. You think you have two parties representing different visions for America but both parties are funded by the same billionaires, vote for the same surveillance bills, approve the same defense budgets, and serve the same corporate interests. The choice you are given is which color tie the puppet wears, not who controls the strings.
2) The second manipulation is emotional hijacking. The news does not inform you, it activates you. Every story is framed to trigger fear or anger or disgust because those emotions bypass your rational thinking and make you easier to control. You are not watching journalism. You are being subjected to psychological operations designed to keep you in a constant state of agitation.
3) The third manipulation is tribal sorting. The algorithm learns what makes you angry and feeds you more of it until your entire worldview is shaped by outrage at the other side. You are sorted into a tribe not because you chose it but because keeping you tribal keeps you predictable and profitable.
4) The fourth manipulation is false scarcity. You are told resources are limited and the other tribe is taking what belongs to you. Immigrants are stealing your jobs. Welfare recipients are draining your taxes. The other party is destroying your healthcare. Meanwhile the billionaire class has more wealth than any humans in history and could solve most of these problems tomorrow if they wanted to.
5) The fifth manipulation is memory holing. Stories that threaten powerful interests get buried or forgotten within days. Exposed crimes result in no consequences. Historical context that would help you understand the present is never taught. You are kept in a perpetual present with no past to learn from and no future to plan for.
6) The sixth manipulation is controlled opposition. The voices you think are fighting for you are often funded by the same interests they pretend to oppose. The outrage merchant on your side of the aisle is playing a character designed to keep you engaged and angry and tuned in while nothing ever actually changes.
7) The seventh manipulation is the Overton window. The range of acceptable opinion is artificially narrowed so that anything outside it seems extreme. Ideas that were mainstream fifty years ago are now treated as radical. Ideas that serve elite interests are treated as moderate common sense. You are not choosing your beliefs from the full range of human thought. You are choosing from a menu they wrote.
8) The eighth manipulation is learned helplessness. You are shown so many problems with no solutions that you eventually give up and accept that nothing can change. This is intentional. A population that believes resistance is futile does not resist. They scroll and complain and feel superior for understanding how bad things are while doing absolutely nothing about it.
9) The ninth manipulation is identity capture. Your political affiliation becomes your identity, and any attack on your party feels like an attack on you personally. This makes you defend politicians and policies that harm you because admitting they are wrong would mean admitting you were wrong, and your ego will not allow that.
10) The tenth manipulation is the most insidious of all: you are manipulated into believing you are too smart to be manipulated. Every person reading this thinks the manipulations I described apply to other people, the stupid people, the brainwashed people on the other side. That certainty is itself a manipulation. The moment you believe you are immune is the moment you become most vulnerable
There is something way bigger going on when you can divide everyone in the entire world into an 'us vs them' mentality on almost every single subject.. We cannot let them get away with these ridiculous ancient divide and conquer tactics...
This comment could be a Substack of its' own! I'd encourage readers to share this online, print it out and leave it at local businesses, and talk about it as much as possible, especially with those whose minds are captured.
It does raise the question in me, though: Am I one of those who are actually captured? I am extremely skeptical of mainstream reporting, and have diverse sources for news...BUT...am I deluding myself?!
Thank you Bonnie. The author wrote an entire article around that here, and it is among the best articles i have ever read. I think you will find it worth every moment of your time:
My neighbor has TDS so bad we are no longer friends. So sad. Even the mention of Elon Musk caused her to turn around and leave even as I was still speaking. Can’t recall in my 80+ years such a disappointment. I blame an irrational press and media. How can one person inspire such hatred. That will haute us years from now. Amazing the stuff people believe true. Trump will have his time and then what? Now the backlash is seen in VA where crazy proposals seem evident from the far left who can destroy current success. To what purpose?
Does not your opening statement (none of this is as it seems) apply to your claims, as well?
I am not disagreeing, per se, because I can see the manipulation 800 yards away. The absurdity that was “Covid” made it all too clear. But, I will argue that there is some underlying honesty and virtue struggling to break through the matrix.
You can identify it, or at least see its manifestations, when the perverted institutions and compromised spokesmen all line up in lockstep against something or someone. Remember, in 2015 fifty out of fifty “major U.S. newspapers” endorsed Hilary. That does not happen in a system that isn’t already gamed.
It lays bare this and how narrative is the most potent weapon in our world today:
Comcast owns NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Universal Pictures, and dozens of cable channels. Disney owns ABC, ESPN, Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, National Geographic, and just absorbed most of 21st Century Fox. Warner Bros Discovery owns CNN, HBO, the DC universe, and a sprawling empire of cable networks. Paramount Global owns CBS, Showtime, MTV, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon. Sony controls a massive chunk of the music and film industry. And News Corp, the Murdoch empire, owns Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, and newspapers across three continents.
Your local news station that you think is independent? Probably owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, which controls nearly two hundred television stations across America and forces them all to read the same scripted editorials. Your favorite newspaper? Bought up by a hedge fund or a billionaire who wanted a mouthpiece. Your streaming service? Owned by one of the six. Your social media feed? Curated by algorithms designed by Silicon Valley billionaires to keep you angry and engaged and clicking.
I am aware. I consume little to none of the tripe. I stopped going to the movies 40 years ago. I have no “favorite shows” among contemporary canon. The messaging was so constant and one sided and, frankly, stupid and childish I could not enjoy any of it.
The mainstream culture has been poisoned. Pretty pictures and cartoonish action gilding collectivist propaganda. There are exceptions, of course, but they are few.
The news is written for children.
The good news is that those businesses are under heavy pressure, some say “dying”. Independent films, music, publishing, are all making in roads. Elon buying Twitter, on balance, is an improvement.
We always knew, as far back as the ‘60’s, that Democrat strongholds (e.g. Chicago) were held fast by cheating. That spread slowly until they elected one of their own to the Presidency, then the fraud accelerated nationally. It was an “all of government effort” to secure the uni-party permanently.
We will see how this plays out. This administration needs to stay the course, defund the NGO networks, stop the unaccountable flow of government money, punish the fraudsters, and clean up the elections.
I like to believe that if “they” get tte civil war “ they” so desperately seek, “we” will be smart enough to know to attack, and kill, those shaking the jar.
But what is the legal remedy for judges who ignore the laws and capriciously set their own standards? Are those judges also engaging in collusion with illegal activities? Besides having these cases slowly working through the legal appeals process, and therefore achieving the goal of obstruction of law enforcement, is there another legal remedy?
Although a rather long explanation it is an excellent one ! JUDGE MENENDEZ should be removed from handling any case law till a review of her actions by the. DOJ , yes the DOJ ! THE BENCH DOES NOT NEED POLITICAL or ACTIVIST JUDGES IT NEEDS JUDGES WHO ADMINISTER THE LAW AS WRITTEN !!!
This shouldn’t be controversial unless ideology has rotted basic legal literacy. Shadowing federal agents, relaying their movements, and intervening to derail arrests isn’t protest—it’s obstruction, stalking, and aiding evasion. The law draws that line clearly, and it always has. Judge Menendez’s order pretends context doesn’t matter, as if intent evaporates when activists wear the costume of “peaceful observers.” It doesn’t. Warnings establish notice; persistence establishes mens rea. What’s most reckless is the lie sold to activists—that courts will save them when confrontation turns dangerous. They won’t. Enforcing obstruction laws early isn’t authoritarian; it’s preventative. If the rule of law means anything, it means you don’t get to tail cops and call it speech.
This is a great article. It is not worth your freedom to be arrested and have a little checkmark of what you’ve done when you have a background check flying into countries traveling.

That is food for thought...
The only way to be protected from deceit is to fortify yourself upon a reliable foundation of truth.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.”
If you have faith in God, His principles and teachings, they will act as your compass so you won’t get lost in the forest of noise.

I hope so, but it is always better to hope for the best, prepare for the worst, while striving to ensure the worst never comes to pass.
Another damn activist judge that must be slapped down. How many more times, O Lord, how many more times?
The Menendez brothers, Senator Menendez, Judge Menendez...Is EVERYBODY named "Menendez" a crazy person?
But what is the legal remedy for judges who ignore the laws and capriciously set their own standards? Are those judges also engaging in collusion with illegal activities? Besides having these cases slowly working through the legal appeals process, and therefore achieving the goal of obstruction of law enforcement, is there another legal remedy?
These people are willing to throw their lives away for people who don't give a damn about them.
Pathetic.
Although a rather long explanation it is an excellent one ! JUDGE MENENDEZ should be removed from handling any case law till a review of her actions by the. DOJ , yes the DOJ ! THE BENCH DOES NOT NEED POLITICAL or ACTIVIST JUDGES IT NEEDS JUDGES WHO ADMINISTER THE LAW AS WRITTEN !!!
Well stated. Thank you.
You, Sir, have quickly become one of my Must-Read, Go-To, sources of information. Well done. Carry on.
These are the same idiots who watched the illegals invade for 4 years. They are good at watching..
Them: ICE Watch!
ICE: Watch this!

Hate to be a downer, but none of this matters if the jury nullifies the case despite obvious guilt.
We cannot rely on the law to save us here.

Arrest them
Hindering a police officer in the performance of their duties.
These laws apply globally
Pretty straightforward to me.
