Loading ...Are we
having fun yet?
Every time I get a pity party going I think of what my parents went through. The Great Depression. WW II, when the western world of freedom as we knew it teetered on the brink. Followed quickly by the Korean War. Watergate. Travel to the moon. Viet Nam war – one of history’s great travesties.
My first job I made .85 an hour and thought I was rich. Made enough in the summer working on the Oldsmobile assembly line to pay for the following year of university – room, board and tuition.
I tell these stories now and even my own kids don’t believe me.
This is nuthin’. We are far from finished, the story is just beginning to unfold.
You are so right Boomer
Can we even imagine what our parents were dealing with.
Everybody had a family member or many risking their lives in WW2…and there was a German maniac threatening to KILL everyone they could and enslave the rest. Sounds familiar.
It has taken a while but now we know who the Maniacs are and we are fixing to stop and destroy them one way or another
And before that the uncertainty of even a meal during the Depression.
Excellent point…well worth reflecting upon
With today’s rise in Fascism/Totalitarianism being supported by so many business/government/wealth leaders of the “free world”, did the ideologies and methodologies executed by WWII Germany just get set aside temporarily until a different way to implement the same agenda was put into place? Think back 18 short months ago and recognize how far they have shifted the psyche of the general public via constant bombardment of fear messaging and implementation of controls that were assumed out of thin air vs knowingly granted.
This group was well prepared, moved with lightning speed and agility and have met with minimal resistance.
So far those that have opposed have merely been ostracized (to be dealt with later perhaps).
In fact, my speculation is that it has gone so smoothly, that the implementation agenda is in overdrive to ensure that resistance cannot form in time to stop their plans. For as soon as the financial system is removed from control of sovereign nations (per Heil Schwab musings) and becomes governed by one worldwide body this group will have total control.
Agree with that, completely.
Most of my mom’s family put it on the line, as they were involved in the Resistance efforts within sight of the German border. My aunt was sent to Ravensbruck. My mom’s employer was executed for giving medical assistance to allied airmen.
And it was a rough go in Europe for many years after the war was over.
BUT … this journey WE are on, might only be just beginning. And we’ve dug ourselves a HUGE HOLE. (And we can thank our socialist friends for digging it even deeper.)
Some of us are going to have to use our wits to get through it somehow, because I for one don’t have the physical agility I once had.
Just spoke with an ardent supporter of the current Covid narrative. He truly believes that once everyone is jabbed, all will go back to the way it was. He believes that they should track down all those who did not give consent to be jabbed. He wants to travel abroad once the border opens. The only reason he got jabbed.
He is oblivious to the need for a booster and another after that to maintain his Jab Passport. He told me the Jab Passport won’t be needed anymore.
He believes that the current jab (safe and effective) will protect him form variants. I wonder how his vision will work out. He loves Trudeau.
Life has been good to him. Retired, Gov Pension and assets. On the leading edge of Boomerdom and everything has worked out. Complacent for sure.
I believe we are just entering a nasty period in which we will become as society reliant on Big Government. Just enough to survive and not to protest.
The great unwashed will become serfs or chattels to the ruling class.
Columbia — I expect those that “have” will be the hardest hit and most shocked when “whatever they have” is redistributed for the betterment of society.
The goal has always been to have everyone (except those controlling this con game of course) “equal” – so those that have the most today will also have the biggest distance to fall in order for everyone in society to be “equal”. Am not sure how that gets enacted but hints have been given ie: “you will own nothing and be happy”.
Perhaps that nice 6000 sq ft home on 5 acre lot may or may not remain under your control – clearly from an equality perspective no single family needs that much space — so lets move 2 or 3 less fortunate immigrant or less wealthy families into the premises to make society equal — that type change — your home is my home, your food is my food, your wife is …. well lets not go there.
This applies to us too because having your investments in the “right” companies is only as good as being able to retain control of the shares.
Perhaps the sovereign debt crisis will reach a climax that NO ONE could have foreseen wherein all personal assets of citizens must be turned over to the government (in exchange for worthless t-bills) so that the assets can be liquidated and the proceeds used to ensure the nation escapes bankruptcy. I don’t know how they will do it — but it will be a rude awakening when fascism takes hold!
