You about sum it up, Ray. I don't find the overall scenario depressing but rather realistic. But. I'm older and find myself in the position of The Observer in late life.

As you are noting in your recent article, looking for beauty is a powerful weapon:

Things have never been much different, but this is the first time in history, when those who mean to retain some self-determination must dig deeper. Not much to be depressed about. On the contrary: being aware offers a chance to make realistic choices and decisions.

Do you have the NIH mask study at the ready to share that you mention?

"caused by the muzzles they were “required” to wear “in order to prevent transmission.” The study was co-authored by Fuxxi and was published on the NIH website in 2008."

It was a study co-authored by F*. They exhumed the victims of the 1918 plandemic, and determined that 95% of the deaths were due to bacterial pneumonia. It's my addition that it was due to the mandatory muzzling...

And especially that all American soldiers were "vaccinated"! It has already been revealed that they wanted to throw them over to Europe as biological weapons, in the hope of infecting the entire continent. But that's not what happened, only the vaccinated died! Even faster with masks, because they sucked their bacteria back in. (I say the rest besides "vaccination", because the authorities already knew at the time that "vaccinations" would lead to "epidemics"! So it's clear that they wanted to throw them over as weapons...)

I understood what it was, had read reference to it before. Was just hoping you had a link readily available instead of me having to find it.

It is the easiest, and most difficult thing, to say "NO" in the face of entrenched, public, evil agendas. May we all have the courage and integrity to do so. My hope is that our society will once again remember that money cannot redeem your soul, and the price was too low, however much you were paid, if you sold it.

Thank you for posting!

The reality you write about during the late 1980's onward was enlightening and reassuring. Being a biological female, I could not buy in to the 'feminist studies' courses in college, ( during the 1980's) the angry feminists were attempting to twist their Patriarchal b .s. into me, it didn't stick...

Felt so alone and isolated wondering

why no others was seeing the craziness.

Many just took it as fact and copied into their notebooks, studied for the tests....

If I questioned, the professor's would attempt to shame you in class and a reprimand was immediately...

"Do not question my PhD. I wrote a book about it. "

I kept on wondering ' WHO ' is making these sweeping decisions in education? Why am I being exposed to this?

Why am I paying for this?

Why aren't the parents or administrators speaking up?

It was and is insidious...

This Evil is insidious...

well orchestrated

The saddest part of being attacked and handed a fragmented life back, is trying to pick up the pieces and go on. As Ray has touched on so many of these subjects, and looking at an American Thinker article this morning called "Without an enemy, there would be no politics". and also reading this morning another Lew Rockwell article on The "Ultra-Processed Life" which drives home the point that the people have become so disenfranchised of the natural and plugged into the synthetic, that astro turfing, compartmentalization's hit them when they're up, kick them when they're down politics.

I cannot be in any way persuaded that the destruction of the family unit can in any way be in the national interest of Americans, and yet, those Satanist, Communist, Leftest and the many other adjectives of "Fill In the _______ was called out clearly by Jesus in John 8:44. They are the children of the devil, adolescents in adult bodies who are children playing in the marketplace. I'm coming more and more to the realization that I need to detach myself from this synthesized unnatural world and go back to living my life (whatever remains of it, in the real world, with the realization that sometimes using logic and reason to check my passions will not stop those who refuse to do so. In a world where the love of money has displaced the love of God, and a love of lying supports the destruction of the truth on all sides, it isn't any wonder that people are going "postal" because they cannot find any other way to deliver their package. One sub stacker who expressed that 97% of the people who go to jail are there on trumped up BS, and yet, even knowing that war isn't even the last thing the poor want, it will be foisted upon them by multitudes of useful idiots. I'm of the opinion that those who actively pursue the active destruction of the natural family should be caged, if not for life, at least long enough for a serious attitude adjustment.

I hope, you know that Lew Rockwell is publishing only pseudo-opposition, but that doesn't mean it's useless: it shows trends in mass manipulation and contains fragmented facts that, nevertheless, can be useful for putting the puzzle together.

The family was destroyed by women's lib, the Pill, sexual "freedom," and divorce courts, along with the destruction of steady foundations for values.

I actually find a lot of good publishing on Lew Rockwell. Although I still struggle with the philippic attacks of malicious bureaucrats that I still find tempting to "cure what ails them". I am also aware that I cannot allow myself to sub-comb to their level of darkness.

I've been planning a challenge regarding "reliable" resources forever (e.g. LW, Mercola, or RFK, Jr.):

You tell me a title (with a link), and I tell you what's wrong with it. :)

This could be a continuing project, but SS readers are set for journalism, and rarely read anything older than two days.

That would be interesting, but I think Dr. Mercola has been more consistent than RFK. I'll link you to the Ultra Processed Life article that is currently trending.

Ray, I now understand your views much better after the story of your MA experiences starting back in '89. Full Bolshevik for sure. MA was also Full Gung Ho for preserving Mr. Lincoln's Union which was the ProgreSSive Movement of that day.

All I want to mention is that the Southern Red Neck is still Alive, and unlike the MA "Loyalists" betraying their 1775 Heritage, We still have a core sense of Rebellion. Did I also mention, Well Armed? surely a shock to MA democRat sensibilities.

I Concur that this current situation has become much worse since 1989 if that is even possible, but MA certainly was Ahead of the Recalcitrant Southern Red Necks.

We also support MAGA "as policy", stemming from earlier Tea Party roots in 2010. We aren't so jaded as to form the circular firing squads just yet, knowing some Russian history from 1917 and Bolshevik 101, or knowing Gen. Robt. E. Lee wasn't a racist.

I wish you well as 2025=1775 or if "Union" isn't possible, 1861 is always an option, but No More Surrenders.

My standing on the (un)Civil War is in

And it was NOT about slavery, but taxation that contradicted The Articles of Confederation and established federal control over states (for guess, who?).

https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/the-law-of-the-land

Have you read my "MAGA" article? What's your take on it?

And party politics is only a show for the masses: both parties are serving the same occupying power.

Civilians are miserably armed, and if they use violence, that would only result in martial law:

https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/invitation-for-conversation-coaxing

Of course, that doesn't mean surrendering, only fighting where there is at least a tiny chance to win or, at least, delay what looks inevitable today, but later it might be too late for it to happen.

I see the Unworkability of abandoning MAGA for What??? No Elected People, No Organization, No Nothing, zip nada.

I see the very same mentality from Cindy Sheehan on her substack from a Left viewpoint, Libs railing about how bad it all is, not that much different from "conservatives" but Also with no proposed workable mechanics.

imo, This is Repeating the Divisions of the White Russians in 1917 fighting the red Russians. Divided the Whites lost to the Bolsheviks.

Expecting perfection, not seeing some choices are better than others, improving situations on a gradient, etc is workable.

MAGA is a big movement that took years to coalesce from grass roots Tea Party. Not Perfect, but Anti-Bolshevik and I'll choose that over Obamy-biden-clintoons.

You are still living in a MA Mentality,imo.

Lucas Nascario's avatar

No offense, but you're misunderstanding Ray entirely, and the rest of us here. Why would you even support MAGA as policy? That's a head-scratcher, as MAGA is purely a communist movement.

If you support MAGA, you're under the MAGA Spell. I was there myself at one point; you don't want to be there, it dumbs you down.

One question, What is Your WORKABLE Alternative ??? If MAGA is Communist you are more Leftist than Cindy Sheehan. Go check her substack out as she is abandoning the democRats.

And if you check out my substack, I'm no rinoRat or Estab Repub. but that doesn't mean I'm off jousting at windmills either.

I'm going to be very blunt here, so be warned of that: You're sadly saying, whether you know it or not that one communist puppet is better than another. We don't need puppets; rather, we need our fellow man to see the puppeteer. I used to support Trump, so I'm way ahead of you, because I know why you're lowkey clinging to the ol' false hope/hopium. You're only a hair better off than most collectivist-partisan idiots, but you still have so much waking up to do, especially seeing how you folks are supposed to be smarter than us youngsters (you're clearly not; not even close, actually, as even college-age people and redditors know partisan politics is a huge psyop), and *still* can't seem to understand the Left-Right Paradigm, which is widely used... do you need to maybe Google it?

Cultural taint, and the pathetic levels of wokeness finally taking a turn: Those were started by the same exact people currently trying to push us back to tradition; it's an intended cycle, it just keeps the masses distracted, divided, and tired of inescapable extremes being everywhere like we're in some kind of prison.

MAGA is a mass-gaslighting strategy, it's really just the "right hand" of offshore, uniparty rhetoric (e.g. I have a left and a right hand; I can move them differently, but it doesn't matter which one the slaves count on, because they're both used by the same brain or in this case the same puppeteers). This time around, literally the same *exact* globalist agendas (just look at what Trump is shilling, MIGA, AI, fake space exploration, MRNA vaccines... not to mention his new best buddy President Elon was always the biggest NWO puppet, so you name it) only the rhetoric is different, but the "sides" are on the same team - that's team Bilderberg, CFR, etc. I'm not a 'leftist' at all, nor am I libertarian, nor republican - I simply don't participate in bullshit.

The ONLY "workable alternative" is not being under mind control. And you can't help other people with that, only yourself. Period.

I could call you a "Jacobin" but why bother? Nihilism is all that is offered in your essay. Man exists as an Individual And as well a Group Species.

I reiterate, this current situation is a repeat of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, and You will need allies you do not 100% agree with. Good Luck on your ideological island.

April 2nd 2025 is like April 19th of 1775, Same Scale as “The Shot Heard Round the World”. Reagan made Peace through Financial Military Strength to collapse the Soviet Union; Trump just made Prosperity through MAGA Strength of America 1st.

This is an Economic WW3. The Only question is are the American People tough enough to perservere ? Are there enough Patriots to prevail over the Globalists and Domestic Nihilists ?

This USSA Empire will Collapse as All Empires have done. Will We/Me/You Restore an American (USA) Republic ??? and Can these Two Actions occur at the Same Time to avoid the 38 Trillion $ Bankruptcy Consequences ?

President Trump is trying to Save America, imo, despite the wailing and knashing of teeth from the Rotting Deep NWO Statists, Enemies Foreign & Domestic.

The Bolsheviks were the minority, but they occupied the food reserves, while everyone was starving, so those who didn't want to starve, joined them one by one, and their numbers outgrew their enemies'. As you are also saying, exactly the same thing is happening, because the enemy controls the reserves.

It's a good question how far one can work together with others, if they disagree. For instance, one of the parties want to nominate a leader, the other ones don't or just want someone else.

And I still haven't mentioned the problem that arises once reserves are running out...

While attacking would require concerted action, as long as the opposition is centralized, it's easy to infiltrate or even target for annihilation, unless it's constantly on the move, but how can one distinguish allies from traitors before it's too late?

In my understanding, while winning an open conflict is extremely unlikely, occupying the enemy to delay its progress must be done. Again, how is that possible?

InFinity Valued Logic* is workable while one valued logic, two valued logic or three valued logic is what homo sap klings to.

*Something is better or worse than someting else. For example it seems obvious to me at least that Trump is better than Biden/Obama/Clinton/Bush/Romney/McCain/etc.

Reagan was better than Carter, and it's been and Will Continue To Be making Relative Choices leading to Gradiently More Liberty for Individuals and Countries while knowing Absolutes are Unobtainable.

Please, notice that it's absolutely unnecessary to resort to categorizing your discussion partner; your utterance can speak for itself, and it does.

You and I agree on most of the manipulative aspects (not on the mRNA, which I believe, it a red herring: https://rayhorvaththesource.substack.com/p/the-problem-with-mrna).

As long as people use the common concepts for thinking, whatever they do with them, the outcomes are the same; they are under mind control... Luckily, humans can develop their own concepts (humans think in concepts, not in language, but language can influence feeble minds). As you are saying, that's a job for the person, and everybody does it to a certain extent, but the need to belong somewhere tends to override individual thinking in many, if not most, cases...

Agreed. I just kind of lost my s**t when he kept bringing up this 'Cindy Sheen' lady, as chances are immensely strong I'm not on the same page as anyone he's reading, lol. He also said that you have an "MA mentality" - but no, you don't, and neither do I - the 'MA mentality' is to be disillusioned by the phony party system.

Your story remined me of this. I saw the strawberry article first.

WHY DID IT TAKE THE IDIOT SCIENTIST SO LONG TO TELL YOU, YOUR FRUITS AREN'T FRUITS, BUT SOME ARE VEGGIES ? WE HAD THIS ISSUE OVER WHAT A TOMATO WAS. OR BOTH.

Strawberries Aren't Berries And Those Aren't Seeds On The Skin: it is not a Fruit.

https://www.foodrepublic.com/1350069/strawberries-arent-berries-seeds-skin-myth/

AI: In botanical terms, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries, despite their common names, are not true berries, whereas bananas, cucumbers, and pumpkins are. You might get a different answer on the last 3.

Here's a breakdown:

True Berries: Botanically, a berry is a simple fruit that develops from a single ovary and contains seeds. Examples include blueberries, cranberries, grapes, and bananas.

Not True Berries: Fruits like strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries are actually aggregate fruits, meaning they develop from multiple ovaries within a single flower.

Other examples of non-berry fruits: Cherries, which are drupes or stone fruits, are also not true berries.

Peaches and olives are drupe fruit. (Stone) Acavadoes, So an avocado is both a fruit (specifically a berry) AND a vegetable!
