But, but I'm a single mother...

Good luck with that. The American landscape is littered with single mothers (with multiple children from multiple fathers) and most of them are unskilled, badly educated, morbidly obese, and lazy. In other words, totally useless.

Not useless. They're keeping the birth rate up and men working to pay their way.

on that if he's given jail time he
becomes a martyr and if he's given jail
time what our focus group respondents
said is they're afraid that there'll be
protests riots in the street that there
is real concern that the results of this
case could bring a level of violence
that we haven't seen ever in American
democracy and second just the fact that
he's been found guilty of 34 felonies is
something that we're not used to and
that the public is looking at this
shrugging their shoulders and saying how
the hell did we get here

** 14-Apr-2020 World View: Simultaneous cataclysmic crises

In the last century, the following three cataclysmic crises took place
ten years apart:

• 1918-1919 Spanish Flu pandemic
• 1929 Stock market panic and crash
• 1940-45 World War II

Today, all three of these cataclysmic crises are occurring
simultaneously. In addition, the WW I and WW II fault lines and
timelines have been combined.

So the economic crisis will be much worse than the Great Depression,
and the war will be much worse than WW II.

I still don't agree that the world is headed for a new dark age, as
you claim, but I do agree that this is the best evidence so far that
supports your view.

Add jail time for Trump into the mix and it gets even messier.

A search for part of Luntz's quote: "could bring a level of violence that we haven't seen ever in american" only brings up the British news sites.

To me, that means American leadership is frozen and doesn't know what to do. They will spend a month trying to figure it out.

'How Dare You Humanize Him': Tulsi Gabbard Reveals Dems 'Twisted' Reaction to Meeting With Trump

From the transcript:

2:43
you say that because it makes me think of course of another free thinker Donald Trump you and him seem to have a lot in
common in that sense for sure on trial now and yet the the left is saying he's

On Trump

a threat to democracy and is also saying that he'll he's ready to jail his political opponents at the same time
that the Biden's doj is looking to jail Biden's top opponent exactly you can't make this stuff up and and of course
Donald Trump and what they're doing to him is the most public um abuse of the
Department of Justice and and you're exactly right they are doing the things that they are accusing uh Donald Trump
of doing if he is elected as president again uh and and it's a pure distraction
tactic it is it is an attempt to be able to divert voters views away from how
they are abusing power and instead try to paint uh a picture of Donald Trump as
some kind of crazy dictator they say this if he's elected this will be the last election we ever have in America
all of these really insane comments um that point to a picture that is not real
and it's not grounded in evidence or precedence for that matter you don't have to guess about what kind of
President he'll be because he was President for four years and and he is not he did not do the kinds of things
that the Biden Harris Administration have been doing from the very beginning when they took office so the the lawfare
and the weaponization of the justice system against Donald Trump is is the most prominent example of that abuse of
power the undermining of the rule of law but as I share in my book they are also
targeting and going after everyday Americans who are their political opposition whether they be peaceful
pro-life protesters or people who are challenging the the neocon warmongering
foreign policy of the Biden Harris Administration or those who are you know most famously throughout the covid uh uh
epidemic or the pandemic or whatever you want to call it uh people who are
speaking the truth or just merely questioning why why is the government forcing us to do this why are they not
willing to allow freedom of speech for different healthcare um uh professionals
uh who are challenging the government narrative on this thing the level of censorship the level of abusive power
and taking away our freedom even to go and worship with friends in Hawaii we had churches that they wanted to go and
gather on the beach outside in public small groups of people for their church service and we're told if you do that
you will get arrested I mean th this this this precedence has been set by the
Biden Harris Administration the Democrat Elite and if they are allowed to remain in power we will only see that not only
continue but escalate what's the Playbook here because you lay it out it kind of a three stages in in the book

The Playbook

you talk about first they try to ignore ignore you then they try to destroy your reputation and then they go for total
Destruction this happened to you yes uh you know I I experienced this in
different ways throughout my eight years in Congress throughout my time uh as a vice chair of the DNC but it was it was
full bore in 2020 when I was running the Democratic presidential primary and it
started started on the very day I announced my candidacy...

'We're in trouble': Pollster reacts to his discussion with young voters

https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/202 ... digvid.cnn

[Higgenbotham]

A lot of comments about moving to safer areas to avoid the coming wars and tribulations. My two cents is that if you want to move, consider relocating not to a different country, but to a mountainous region in your own nation. Living in the mountains has the advantage that it’s easier to defend from raiders and easier to stay hidden. Preferably move into an already established community instead of by yourself. It’s something I’ve been thinking for myself.

It’s quieter too.

Rafael, sure, and that’s why insurgencies usually get started and establish their base areas in mountainous regions. If you’re worried about an insurgency, and I already said I am, moving to a mountainous region is leaping from the frying pan straight into the fire.

Insurgencies fall into the category of "irregular warfare", since an insurgency normally lacks the organization of a revolution, even though it has the same aims. Revolutions often begin within a country's armed forces, whereas insurgencies often arise in remote areas, where they gain strength slowly by winning the confidence of rural populations. An insurgency may be based on ethnic or religious identity, or its roots may be basically political or economic. Since insurgencies are rarely strong enough to face a national army head-on, insurgents (often called guerrillas) tend to use such tactics as bombing, kidnapping, hostage taking, and hijacking.

I didn't finish my thoughts on this and have seen a lot of related discussion on the board since I posted this.

I remember the news reports minutes after the Oklahoma City bombing. It was reported that (I believe it was two) two men of Middle Eastern descent were thought to have fled the scene of the bombing and that's who was being sought. I was working in an office. I said that I doubted anyone of Middle Eastern descent was responsible; it was probably an American.

Now I think the FBI is living in the past. It's my assessment that "the population from which the traditional military recruits come from" (as mentioned above) has been so thoroughly beaten down that it would be extremely difficult to organically assemble a group out of that population to challenge state authority. I put it this way 5 years ago:

No, I don't see a Civil War. The FBI said if Scutari had showed up in 1983 things may have been different because Scutari had the rare ability to organize and lead an underground movement composed of separate cells operated on a need to know basis. Finding a competent leader who can herd today's cats is unlikely. Competence has gone down the drain in the past 35 years.

No H I have no aspiration since America went past herding Cats along time ago.

No great leader would take it on. You can't make a run at glory with attention deficit disordered asthmatic diabetics with celiac disease who are addicted to drugs. And why would a great leader want to save these cats. Even the army has a tremendous problem finding recruits that are fit for duty.

It's not that there are absolutely no people capable of doing this. It's that they are spread so much thinner through the population that organically assembling them into a coherent, workable unit, as was done in the 1980s and may have been possible as late as 2010 is an extremely low probability outcome.

I think the type of loosely, non-uniformly, poorly organized thing Greer describes where you see a kidnapping here, a bombing there, etc., would fit well into what I see also as the new dark age continues to tighten its grip. It will be very poorly executed, like everything else.

Martin Armstrong again.

We are currently in the second stage of the revolutionary cycle and rapidly heading toward stage three as discontent grows.

The SECOND STAGE is where the intellectual debates prove pointless, and the initial conflict begins. This corruption has run its course, and governments have transformed justice into their own self-interest. This stage is usually accelerated by governments raising taxes in the midst of an economic decline. The economic hardships may vary per individual, but as a whole, they will tend to focus upon the prosecutorial arm of government, which includes the police, who will far too often claim they are moral under the pretense of simply following orders.

This is when history will typically produce some leader who can be a moderate who sees the problem and will often try to reason in order to reach a resolution that is ignored by the government. This further intensifies the feelings of injustice, especially in light of the economic decline. The leadership can also be seized by extremists who demand complete change, such as Lenin. This initial stage results in the first demands change with protests rising. The mobs rarely are able even to articulate the reform because they then make demands that they want certain actions that go far beyond what they actually need. This is where mobs will often turn to revenge rather than justice. Governments will typically refuse to reform and become often very defensive.

Therefore, the second stage is one of rising protests and discontent with initial confrontation against the government who relies upon the police state they have created. As long as the police continue to support the government against the people, this will inevitably lead to the next revolutionary stage.

The THIRD STAGE is where it often becomes an outright war in the streets as governments seek to retain power and refuse to see the error of their ways. In revolutions like the Nika Revolt of 532 AD, the police side with the people or stand back. In the case of the Ukrainian Revolution against Yanukovich, once the police saw that the people coming to the aid of the president were Russians, the police switched sides and supported the people. In the case of the Nika Revolt, the government called in the army, who then massacred the people and the police. In the case of the American Revolution, the central power was in England and not local. This allowed the local authorities to differentiate themselves from the British.
