Yes Joel, people deserve the government they allow. The Britts gave up their freedoms and brains when they gave up their guns. Of course it was for "security and safety"....But as our brilliant Benjamin Franklin once said "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a temporary Safety, deserves neither Liberty nor Safety." So let them sink in the cesspool they created.

True, still sad and disheartening, especially because some signs indicate it’s a precursor to our unhappy lot.

The way things are going, soon We will not be able to read Your posts and We will be in a totalitarian state world wide . Ben's word ring so true! Thanks Steve L and You Joel!

Yes Don, exactly why we the people voted for President Trump. I believe the globalist/communist/democrats are 💩in their panties and scrambling for an answer on how to stop Trump from all the winning for the world. I’m sure these most mentally and morally corrupt people will come out with more than the deranged antifa freaks who have been their attack dogs, but I believe we are ready. Unlike the weak British, we still have the ability to defend ourselves and our country 💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I hope that You are correct. Not only for Yours and My sake , but the worlds!

What scares me is the rising attacks on self-defense.

Thank you again Joel for your well written over view of an unbelievable loss of UK freedoms. The world citizens in majority seem to flutter and affirm ANYTHING they perceive as “nice or kind” (look the other way at illegal immigration). Then these same citizens reflexively condemn enforcement of the norms, rules and laws as “mean and bad”. Very confusing dystopian world we have constructed with social media.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Breyer noted in a concurring opinion, "public expression of ideas may not be prohibited merely because the ideas are themselves offensive to some of their hearers." Matal v. Tam (No. 15-1293 argued Jan. 18, 2017, and decided June 19, 2017)

The question that bothers me is this; where do you find officers of the law who are willing to join in the persecution of the people. They have rot in their soul. Don't they understand the government they are supporting will turn on them in due time. How about armies?" will they be willing to turn against their own? Reference past Marxist movements and get back to me. England is one hell of a study for those who love freedom. Freedom is not cheap so they say and history tells us that is true. The rate at which Englishmen are losing their freedom is astonishing. Tokenization in America poses the same threats. Read the Great Taking please.

Joel, ITs scary how far governments will go to fight an enemy ( who is us ,the people, paying their salaries and benefit packages) . Ultimately the leader's choose not to care what the people think. Bottom line = people's revolution to take back our freedoms.

One side is going to fail miserably Richard, and it’s not going to be the good guys 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Another Brit, who managed to influence the mob, once said …

“Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” — Harrow School, 29 October 1941.

It is commonly believed that Churchill stood up, gave the three-word speech, “Never give in!,” and sat down.

There are still many, with long memories or researchers of recent history, aware of the dire consequences of ignoring these three simple words.

Always remember when put into play, this call to action had proven to have the power of nuclear fission.

Europe loves to mock USA, it's times like these they wish they had our Constitution in their own land.

Mike Noone's avatar

Unfortunately the USA constitution is rapidly also becoming “For display purposes only..!”

Which is kinda sad as it is an amazing concept.

Digid.

Rigid. A tool brand. Telegraphed the en-toolification of little, former, & temporary, customers by big boxes corporations.

Turgid - Distended beyond the natural state by some internal agent or expansive force; swelled; swollen; bloated; inflated; tumid; -- especially applied to an enlarged part of the body.

Orchid. “Testicle,” from the appearance of paired subterranean tuberoids.” When prefixed by “crypto” it means interraneous without descent. OED wants me to subscribe in return for the definition of “interraneous.”

Roid. Substances that pump up embodiment of rage against the light that died, often in bullied youth, by facilitating & enabling as much killing of the light as possible.

If I had a Time Machine I’d go back & deal with the subterranean-dwelling Morlocks, creatures whose nuts are so undescended they float around like lighter than air extraterrestrial bubbles, & upon which they model their lighter than air currencies-bubbles & even more weightless cryptos-bubbles.

Since I don’t have that tool - Rigid doesn’t sell those to mere former customers - my next best idea is to round them all up & permanently relocate them to an Arizona town I once passed thru named Eloy.

Four prisons are already there, but I bet many of the little Eloi could be helped to see the Elysian Fields on earth angle of pitching in to expand accommodations.

But I’m hearing didgeridoo song.

Circular breathing operated is the human instrument, too.

“Inhaling thru the nose while simultaneously pushing air out through the mouth using air stored in the cheeks." Which “produces a continuous tone without interruption.

Not even Quigley’s visit Down Under put a dent in that tone.

Jeff Einstein did a good job he titled The Rise of Huxwell:

Maria Bonner’s last post may indicate the small root of the large problem: people simply have trouble working out their individual problems. They then turn to a government and have their issues magnified. Everyone ends up suffering.

Robert Prost's avatar

The rise of safetyism in the US (and elsewhere) has given the perfect opening to totalitarians.

You only need one or two injured individuals and an overactive media to make half the population into Little Red Hens. The death of critical thinking has resulted in a population that has no way to evaluate the truth of an argument other than the 'authority' of the presenter. Sadly, when the crisis has passed, these non-critical thinkers never think about what they have reflexively swallowed based on 'authority' alone.

This won't end anytime soon - it's cheap, easy and works every time.

The Meek shall inherit the Earth, while the proles sit back and watch. Will someone in this reader group please explain to me how this will be stopped?

Don Hrehirchek's avatar

It is called "Divine" intervention. Something that You and I can not start , nor stop. When the time is right!

Steve L's avatar

And before we get that sweet intervention, we have President Trump to help our good lord get a head start in eliminating the corrupt, evil leftist, and those who support this evil. The time is now🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Steve L's avatar

Yes Rich, here in NC, we had sweet Meek Iryna Zarutska. This beautiful meek child was a young woman living the American dream… her horrific murder is a direct result of failed soft-on-crime policies that put criminals before innocent people. These policies are the result of mentally unstable, corrupt and evil politicians getting elected by leftists who believe in the same evil. The battle is about to begin, and it’s not going to be pretty, but it’s necessary in order to let the Meek inherit our earth. 🙏

In the UK, the aroused vs. the accused (only one side is aware). Very sad end of a Kingdom story. Coming soon to a theatre near you…

Dillon's avatar

I know lots of people that moved to the UK and they love it there compared to South Africa, the 24/7 surveillance makes them feel safe and they don’t have to pay a lot for security like South Africa.

Kenny Ellison's avatar

It’s sad when you perceive that your choice is limited to the lesser of two evils.

Dillon's avatar

Yes it is sad, but all these people have kids and I guess when kids are involved you're always going to trust the government narrative over the ones being labelled conspiracy theorists like I have been called a lot recently.

Stephen Hoffman's avatar

Tsk tsk. is it possible to have your eyes hurt after reading Joel’s cannonade against the British governmental whitewash against common sense?

i fear so.

But the bigger conundrum is this. For the most part, their ships brought us to our land of milk and honey. We may nay say it won’t happen here. We said that about two world wars and a number of what the F’s and pitchers of shitty beer.

never say never and remember England is the second ranked place americans would want to move to outside out borders The number one is canada another british colony….

Our last remaining island of hope is the one we are on.

Our guard must always be up, always and never assume anything lest we make that ass out of u n me. Until our savior steps forth, he must remain steadfast in our heart bearing that with the helmet of our salvation.

Loved today’s read, Joel. Spot on and LOL funny, as you often are… ”Note, too, the phrase “perceived by the victim.” In other words, whenever some giant crybaby’s feelz get a bit hurty, a metropolitan police officer could be lurking in the shadows, ready to file an NCHI (because, you know, it’s not like police officers in the UK have actual crime to attend to... )” 👏👏👏

Ps. It’s a pity Joan Rivers is no longer here to help us get through this.

Forrest Rowland's avatar

It has gone way past crybaby, these policies have instantiated the crybully as the New Normal.

Gotta love the irony in the “Cheers,” salutation at the close of today’s Note.
