There's a reason I don't post here anymore.

I stopped a long time ago when several of our members showed just how blindly they were loyal to someone simply because that person wore the jersey of their team.

Well, here's the result of that in spades.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer nailed it when he said: "Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice."
There are several people here who this perfectly describes.

If you see yourself reflected here, then it's time to rethink some things. The problem is you're likely way too stupid to see yourself reflected her.

Bonhoeffer wasn't most disturbed by the cruelty of the guards at the concentration camp in which he was imprisoned. He was most disturbed by what he saw in the entirety of Germany. Pastors, doctors, professors, people who had gone to university and were regarded as highly intelligent applauding Hitler.

The question as Bonhoeffer saw it wasn't how evil could exist; it was how good people could come to applaud it.

He said you can fight evil. You can expose it, resist it, lock it away. Evil has a logic, it wants something. And because it wants something you can see it coming.

But against stupidity you have no defense. Because the stupid person, and here's the part almost nobody talks about, isn't someone with low intelligence, it's someone who has given up using their own judgement. Someone who has handed their capacity to think over to a leader, a group, an ideology.

And once that happens you can't reach them with facts. You can't appeal to their reason because it isn't their reason anymore. It's someone else's, borrowed and worn like a uniform.

Bonhoeffer wasn't describing ignorant people. He said explicitly that stupidity shows up most in people who have just gained social power or
who belong to groups with a lot of collective power.

The more powerful your group, the easier it is to stop thinking for yourself because the group hands you an identity, a sense of safety and ready-made answers.

And suddenly thinking for yourself carries a price that it never used to carry. The risk of being cast out by your own people.

Evil acts alone. It has to hide, it has to lie, it has limits.

But the stupid person is an instrument of someone else.

And the worst part is they don't know it. They feel certain. They feel a part of something bigger. They feel like they're on the right side.

It wasn't monsters who tore Germany apart. It was millions of ordinary people who handed over their judgement to a movement and stopped asking questions.

They weren't evil. They were something worse. They were obedient. Obedient without a mind of their own.

Now look around you - people repeating lines with no idea where they came from. People sharing headlines they never read past. People hating strangers they've never met because someone told them they are the enemy. These are people who've stopped thinking for themselves, and they don't even realize it.

That's the real problem. The stupid person never recognizes it in themself. They feel informed. They feel awake. They feel smarter than everyone else. And that's exactly what makes them IMPOSSIBLE to reach.

So, what do you do with that? Bonhoeffer had an answer.

He said stupidity isn't cured with education, it isn't cured with information, it isn't cured with better arguments, because the problem was never that the person didn't know. The problem was that the person decided, consciously or not, that their group's approval mattered more than their own judgment.

And that only breaks from the inside with an act of courage not intelligence.

With the moment someone decides they would rather think alone than think in company, but without thinking at all.

Bonhoeffer wrote all of this knowing he was going to die. He wasn't writing a book. He was writing so that someday someone would understand what had actually happened. And what happened wasn't that a monster seized power. What happened was that millions of people decided thinking for themselves was too uncomfortable to bother with.

So, for those of you on the forum who this is targeted for....

When was the last time you changed your mind regarding something that truly matters?

When was the last time you said something within your own group (this forum perhaps?) that you knew wasn't going to garner applause?

If you don't know the answer maybe the problem isn't that you're stupid, maybe you just stopped thinking and you never noticed.

Time to play the "Blame Game"

Republicans turn against Hegseth after election losses

Nov 4, 2026 #News #Election #Trump
Many Republican lawmakers and allies alarmed by Tuesday’s wipeout are moving swiftly to pin blame for the election results on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, arguing behind the scenes that he played a chief role in convincing Trump to attack Iran with no exit strategy - and no plan for managing the inevitable political fallout.
And the House could vote as soon as next week to impeach the Pentagon’s top leader.

Executive Order 13848, signed by President Donald Trump on September 12, 2018, declares a national emergency to address the threat of foreign interference in United States elections. The order authorizes the imposition of sanctions on foreign persons and entities that engage in, sponsor, or materially support interference activities, including hacking election infrastructure or distributing disinformation.

The process mandates that the Director of National Intelligence assess election interference within 45 days of an election's conclusion, while the Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security report on any material effects on election infrastructure. Based on these findings, the Secretary of the Treasury can block property, restrict transactions, and impose visa bans on designated foreign actors.

The national emergency has been renewed annually by subsequent administrations, including President Biden in 2024 and 2026, to maintain the legal framework for these sanctions. Implementation involves regulations under 31 CFR Part 579, which allows the Treasury Department to designate individuals and entities on the Specially Designated Nationals list for violating the order.

The Executive Office of the President, Executive Order 13848: Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election, September 12, 2018. Unclassified. | National Security Archive

RINOS

They're champing at the bit to stop the IRAN skirmish. The City of London that is through their lackys....
 
First, it was ‘Trump is going to fire Hegseth because of Iran war’ earlier today.

That narrative fell flat almost immediately. No one bought it.

Then out came Thomas Massie, piece of shit that he is, threatening to file impeachment articles against Pete. Which everyone knows goes nowhere. Theatrics.

Its interesting how much they hate him for restoring order & discipline & lethality & removing the social contagion.

And it’s all theatrics— because they dont have the votes.

Don’t take the rage bait. Spit on it & mock it.

 
It ain't over... til it's over!



If people understood the full scale of this sting operation, they would be celebrating instead of complaining. Many more could face jail time after falling into the trap. Never underestimate Trump; he knows how to appear weak while strategically preparing to strike. What’s coming, according to this message, will be historic and remembered for generations. ✝️
 
Trump and a group patriots seized control of the Executive Branch and wrested power away from the Shadow Government.

Then they spent 20 months giving the country an eyeful of:

1. Over 1 trillion in taxpayer's money being stolen every year
2. how the Shadow Government at all three levels was involved in hiding the trillion dollar yearly theft [federal/state/ county-city]
3. shutting down the border and demonstrating the human/drug trafficking could have been stopped at any time over the last 50 years of the fake 'War on Drugs'
4. reversing over a generation of off-shoring of vital US industries and reworking the trade deals to actually benefit all Americans

Now we've reached the part of the movie where The Shadow Government Strikes Back!

Desperate to stop the exposure of their criminal operations, they have had to pretend the massive shift of the country towards Trump and MAGA for the past 11 years never happened, that instead in just a 21 month period the country made a massive bounding leap to the far Left.

They don't care how it looks. Its about stopping the exposure of their criminal networks, the shutting down of their criminal networks, the destruction of their criminal networks.

Now they're at the stage they have to sell you on the narrative that the country turned on the team of patriots that exposed all of this to you.

Over gas prices.
Over groceries.
Over not doing a good enough job destroying the Deep State.

Or something.

The Systems of Illusions is casting it's last, most glorious and most desperate illusion right now.

"By doing all of the sick and evil things he did to America in the last 21 months, Trump has caused the entire nation to turn on him and move to the Insane Party!"

We'll see how America responds to the gaslighting this time.

It's not 2020 any more.

The Great Awakening did not lead this country to turning on patriots in this White House.

 
Funny the MSM isn't mentioning any of this...




My election observations... I'm titling it... "The Rope-a-Dope"...

Trump is leaning against the ropes, congratulating the people throwing punches at him, while an entirely different fight unfolds around the ring...

Three days before the midterms, Trump posted Muhammad Ali's 1971 defeat against Joe Frazier... that caught my attention because Ali's greatest strategic masterpiece came three years later against George Foreman... the rope-a-dope...

Ali absorbed punishment against the ropes, allowing Foreman to exhaust himself while the crowd watched what appeared to be a losing fighter... then, in the eighth round, Ali came off those ropes and knocked Foreman out...

Now look at November 3... Dems capture Congress, the media celebrates, and Trump congratulates his opponents, praises their performance, and offers cooperation...

He distances himself from the losses, reminding everyone he wasn't on the ballot and still possesses presidential veto authority...

See the positioning? He's absorbing the blows while his opponents inherit responsibility for what follows...

Meanwhile another sequence was unfolding... in September, DOJ issued litigation holds covering election records in 29 states and Washington, D.C. On October 26, Trump announced a proposed $1 million election fraud reward, alongside DOJ's separate $10,000 to $30,000 fraud incentive program...

On October 29, DOJ reinforced the 22-month federal election record preservation requirement, warning against deliberate destruction...

Then just one day before the election, a Michigan judge permanently blocked deletion of original electronic pollbooks after certification, preserving underlying data and metadata... "watch Michigan"...

Election evidence was being legally protected before the outcome was known...

Simultaneously ~1,000 DOJ monitors and observers covered 126 jurisdictions across all 50 states...

Hegseth mobilized military intelligence, Cyber Command, and the NSA against foreign interference, while DOJ's voter registration litigation tested federal authority against state sovereignty and privacy protections...

Election Day produced localized scanner failures, ballot shortages, bomb threats, and disruptions. Federal cyber monitoring reported limited threats and no identified foreign influence operations by late election night... preserved records now provide a foundation for lawful audits and investigations...

Zoom out and connect the systems... federal monitoring expanded as courts enforced constitutional boundaries... cyber defenses operated alongside evidence preservation... Congressional power shifted while the presidency retained its executive authority... and Trump is congratulating the Democrats...

Ali understood this dynamic... Foreman's aggression, confidence, and energy expenditure became variables influencing the fight... the punches were landing while conditions for Ali's counterattack developed...

Trump's Ali posts, his election response, and the institutional activity surrounding November 3 create a striking parallel...

The congressional defeat is real, legal processes continue, election records remain preserved, and Trump retains his constitutional powers...

Trump has absorbed the immediate political damage while positioning himself for the next phase...

The Democrats have their victory, the spotlight, and the illusion of victory... Trump is about to move off the ropes and come out swinging...
 
I think the Democrats over played their hand this time...



The video I made has gone viral.

Pay attention to the claims I make. Avoid inventing claims I do not make.

I don’t date-<redacted - see forum guidelines on epithets>. The ODNI foreign assessment report on elections has to be returned no later than 45 days. That’s the law, not an opinion.

What POTUS and the Department of War choose to do with that assessment, everyone has an opinion.

But make no mistake, an assessment of the election’s vulnerabilities has already been made before the election, was tested during the election, and will be ongoing.

The evidence is overwhelmingly clear.

The Department of War and Cyber Command have everything.

People are so cynical based on 2020 because of the hardships we all experienced. Everyone has an opinion on what POTUS should have done.
With 20/20 hindsight, many are now saying “why didn’t Trump act in 2020?” All while forgetting how absolutely brainwashed the American people were about our plight. None of you are the same person you were 6 years ago.

And the vast majority of people shouting from the rooftops in 2026 about elections being rigged were not shouting in early 2021.

They waited until the coast was clear while those that did put up a fight had their lives destroyed.

So, it is with this faulty logic that the cynic asks “why should we expect Trump to act differently now?”

A minority of people truly understood the corruption in 2020.

A majority of the people understand the corruption now.

There’s your difference.
 
I think AIPAC still managed to buy several elections, though not as many as before...

What he needs to be asking is, why TF did the people of Gaza attack Israel?

Had they not chose to cross the border and kill and kidnap people, none of what Israel did in response would have happened.

All Israel did, was to try to put a permanent end to it after decades of constantly being attacked.

If you make the choice to attack your neighbor, it's not your neighbors fault for fighting back.
.....and really, what exactly did those people think was gonna happen when they attacked Israel and killed people and took all those hostages? Were they really dumb enough to believe that Israel wouldn't respond with overwhelming force?


If your neighbor has a tank in his backyard with a giant gun on it that's aimed right at your house and all you have is sticks and rocks, it's probably not a good idea to jump the fence to kill his kids and kidnap his wife while not expecting your own house to get blown to smithereens.

In fact, it'd be pretty stupid to think that it wouldn't.
