"Vote the right way...or else", declare Governors Inslee and Kotek after sending the Army to polling places.
Except when the dissenters skin tone is 1/10th of a shade darker than their own.
Then they can do no wrong.
Thank you.
And few know that during the last glacial maximum, 25,000 years ago it dropped to between 170-180 ppm.
We dodged a bullet.
Yet some, insanely, want to reposition all of us before the bullet again.
It is insane.
The politics of the Western Left have always been the politics of suicide, and submission to foreign authoritarians.
Why live to murder or enslave yourself? These people are insane.
They tilt at windmills such as "global warming" while they remain in an Ice Age. Specifically they remain in the 40th or 41st interstadial of the Quaternary Ice Age, before which there were no glaciers on the poles.
But you cannot reason with unreasonable people.
You cannot provide empirical facts (such as vegetation frozen in permafrost, or buried temperate forests in the Arctic which prove it used to be warmer there) to people who do not believe in objective reality, and hence do not believe there exists such a thing as facts.
They are insane. They will continue to be insane and to make insane decisions.
Your only option is to politically divorce from them for your own survival.
Avoiding loss is not the same as avoiding risk.
Risk cannot be avoided by mortals, only managed.
Pssst...
The "paper" money is a check drawn on one of those debts.
You see when the Treasury borrows the Fed writes two entries for the transaction: An asset entry which is the debt, and a liability entry to cash. The check they write to the Treasury drawing on the cash IS THE PAPER MONEY.
Money of they type you are describing was killed in 1914, and ceased to exist in 1933.
There is only debt.
That's why the debt always grows: the principal + interest of any maturing loans gets rolled into a new debt, and the Congress has to think of some pretext, no matter how stupid, to spend it into the economy to keep all the debts from going *poof*.
See, when the debt defaults they draw a line through the asset entry. And they draw a line through the liability entry to cash. And that "cash" no longer exists.
Do you understand?
You've been treating money and debt as two separate things, as though debt were an obligation while money was a pre-existing object of unquestioned value totally separate from debt.
But that has not existed since 1933. There is only debt. When the debt defaults the money, or more precisely currency, also defaults.
TRANSLATION: We print money from nothing and charge you interest to use it. We also borrow your money from you at your exclusive risk to make investments for our exclusive profit. But our math geniuses were mixed up about the logarithmic math, so we had to make our government employees rob you in 1933, and again in 1971, and again in 1987, and again in 2000, and again in 2008, and again in 2019, and now again in 2025.
It has been almost three years without that QE sugar. And, yes, we know the intervals between our monetary mainline injections are getting shorter. But look, Squirrel! And Kapowie! Election! And, gee, well we really need to take it all for ourselves to keep this thing afloat. We did tell you this was logarithmic, after all. So it's your own fault.
Anyway, the thing is, we've contrived to split our asset base into two parts, a collection of "banks", and a collection of "shadow banks".
We called them "shadow banks" mostly because it makes it sound like it is someone else who is not us, but also because it sounds dark, dangerous, maybe illegal.
Anyway, we've moved all the bad assets to these "shadow banks". You will soon be surprised to discover that these "shadow banks" also own all your stuff. Even if you have no liens, these "shadow banks" for legal purposes own everything about you through your old friend "Collateral Debt Obligations". Don't you wish you'd done something about those? Ha, ha.
Basically they own you. And we have made sure that they will bankrupt literally ANY MINUTE NOW.
And when they do you will own nothing. And you will be happy. Or you will be dead at the hands of your own governments, which we of course own.
So happy election day! And go pretend to vote! And we will pretend to count votes. And then we will do exactly what we decided long ago to do: take everything and declare ourselves literal gods amongst you puny...ahem...happy! Happy peasan...citizens.
Now take your killvax and pass on. We have a welfare state bill to eliminate, now that you dont matter.
The Demoncrats haven't accepted an election result even once in this whole century.
David Lammy thinks that dissatisfaction with the UK Government could not possibly be related to its two-tier policing system or penchant for jailing housewives for saying things the government does not agree with.
Can we get past all the foreplay and get to the shooting and blowing up of urban essential services?
The Totalitarians are not going to be deterred by any electoral result. They will not stop until they are dead or in prison. And many of them run the courts and police, so you are stuck with only the first solution.
Can we just get it over with so we can start fixing things?
We're not getting any younger, in case you did not notice.
Lawfully, the House is supposed to charge them with the high crime of Subversive Conspiracy or Insurrection. If convicted by the Senate they are then removed from office. At that point any Prosecutor from a Jurisdiction subject to Federal Law and subject to the Federal Office from which the official was removed, and hence a jurisdiction wherein the crime occurred, can then prosecute the individual.
Under Georgia Law GA Code § 21-2-30, the Secretary of State is a non-voting board member of the election commission, and before 2021 was the Chairperson of the committee.
After 2021 the Legislature selects one of their number by vote to chair the committee.
The US Constitution gives the plenary power over Presidential Elections to the State Legislature. And Georgia Laws comport with the US Constitution.
Why then is the Georgia Secretary of State running elections that by Georgia Law and US Constitution are not within his purview, and hence not within the Georgia Executive Branch's authority to change?
There is always a market for lies amongst people who do not believe there exists such a thing as objective reality.
Morons will be morons.
A lot of Epstien's in every blue city.
It is almost like they are a club, or something.
Societies who prefer to make their way through life as eternal adolescents, childless and care free, are unsuitable to make any sacrifices of any kind, for any reason, or to shoulder any responsibilities of any kind.
The pathology of the West is eternal adolescent angst.
Meanwhile, in the real world, we still have a logarithmic debt-based monetary system where failure to borrow logarithmically more money into existence, for any reason, means deflationary recession with an eternally increasing chance of contagion and currency collapse.
Will Americans who cannot service the debt they have borrow still more into existence if the government doesn't?
Will they service those larger debts that they obviously find challenging to service now?
Just write a few more paragraphs of fantasy.
Nothing can be fixed until the monetary system is fixed.
So Richie Rich signed the warrant that was executed by a literal Karen?
These a-holes are literal cartoon villains.
So...

The anti-property gestapo agent responsible for Peanut's death is a literal Karen.
Figures.
I am Peanut.
You are also Peanut.
During COVID bureaucrats and State employed doctors found many BS excuses to demand activities that killed tens of thousands of people. Remember the rest homes? Remember the vaccine mandates?
Not only would they do to you what they did to Peanut, they already did do it to thousands.
I am Peanut.
You are Peanut.
The Rest Home residents were Peanut.
The vaccine injury deaths were Peanut.
Government is incapable of using power over lives and property with restraint and transparent responsibility.
