I notice the protests this week are called the “No Kings” protests.

I’m assuming no one is supposed to think beyond the very superficial.

As Americans we are all trained to dislike kings and equate them with tyranny. And not having a king is freedom.

This, of course, is a lie. Big surprise.

Tyranny is tyranny, no matter what the form of government.

And in our case, the U.S. federal government is far more tyrannical than King George III would have ever dreamed of being.

King George III was a radical libertarian compared to the U.S. government.

But there’s a big reason why we’re trained to hate kings.

Oligarchs (big money with zero attachment to the nation) much prefer “democracies” than dynastic kingdoms.

Why?

Well, take a look at our politicians to see why.

Look at how many of them are bought and paid for by globalists and outside powers.

How many times have we all said over the last few decades that: “it’s as if the government hates us.”…

I’m not saying the US should have a king…far from it. We have no unifying principles, culture or religion.

These have all been stripped away.

The U.S. has become a bunch of separate regions held together by the force that DC can exert to keep it together.

The LA riots are a great example.

So while I’m not saying that we need a king, I am saying that what Americans, including myself, have been taught about kingdoms is pure garbage.

Power needs to be decentralized.

That doesn't mean that local government doesn't have issues. People are people. They will be greedy, envious, seek to dominate, etc...etc...

But when power is localized, rather than centralized, it limits the scope of damage. For almost 100 years, the U.S. ravages the world because of the centralization of power and resources.

If we lived in the original America, this would have remained impossible. Power was decentralized.

But over the years, power was slowly stripped away from local and state governments. Then after the "Civil War," all power was concentrated in DC.

Since then, DC not only dictates to every American, seeks to dictate to the entire planet...while running roughshod all over it.

Decentralize.

There were two caveats to having Trump as president for a second time:

1) The Democrats -- When Trump is president, they turn to violence.

2) Israel -- That Trump would sink us into another war for them ... this time against Iran.

Both of these problems are front and center.

MAGA influencers.

Just like the TV.

But on X instead.

I remember the tears in the eyes of the supporters of “Hope & Change” Obama.

The destructive era of George W. Bush was over.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama then went on to drop bombs on 8 different nations.

I remember (just half a year ago) how Donald Trump was coming to rescue America from the Biden Administration.

This was the Second American Revolution! The burdens of the state would be slashed!

Six months later, Trump supporters are screaming for BIGGER government, and bigger debts and deficits!

As you look at the MAGA fanatics, hopefully you can understand how we ended up with the Patriot Act back in 2001…

…And invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9/11.

MAGA fanatics are the mirror image of leftist fanatics, who pressured 75% of people to get injected with fake vaccines.

These two fanatical “sides” are used by the uniparty to repeatedly screw every single American.

America bankrupted itself fighting unnecessary wars around the world, on behalf of other nations.

All while being invaded by 10’s of millions of illegals.

What a historic blunder.

Getting 10’s of millions of illegals back out is virtually impossible.

But it is possible to get rid of the empire. Better now than later.

MAGA influencers were wrong in claiming Massie supports "open borders"?

In order to anger people, so that they support Trump's BBB?

Tell me it isn't so.

Government should not go bankrupt trying to solve a problem that it created.

“Ron Paul is wrong!”

“Pass the Patriot Act!”

“Rand Paul is wrong!”

“Pass The Bog Beautiful Bill!”

“Libertarians,” who amazingly support open borders, are way off the mark.

The only situation where you can even think about open borders is in a completely private property society, with sound money, and no welfare state.

We aren’t even in the same universe of such a situation right now.

We have a society where private property is constantly under attack, with fiat money and a MASSIVE welfare state.

We have about 50% of American CITIZENS receiving federal money, and a sickening amount of corporate welfare.

In such a dire and unsustainable environment, you can’t open the border and let anyone in!

We’re already sinking!

Furthermore, the motives of the government opening the borders are to specifically put illegals on welfare AND to destroy American culture.

The purpose is to destroy.

These “libertarians” are an embarrassment to the name.

After the Musk feud (Round 1?) there are people pledging total loyalty to Trump.

You never want to pledge *total* loyalty to a politician who holds power.

Power corrupts.

The politician (despite how things may look today) can turn around and use the power against you.

You’ll “stand with him no matter what” if he does that?

Foolish.

The status quo crowd is quite selective on BBB in who they criticize.

They blame Congress, libertarians, Massie, Paul.

That’s standard. All are safe to criticize.

But they’re careful not to criticize Trump even though he’s the leader of BBB.

They’re also careful with Elon … Maybe hoping Elon was just grumpy yesterday and this will all blow over?

Who knows what happens next, but these are the dynamics as I see it for the status quo side.

This is always why Republicans lose.

They never deliver.

They campaign like libertarians and govern like Democrats.

Meanwhile, Democrats campaign like Democrats and govern like Democrats.

Hence, we're constantly stuck with bigger government.

The gargantuan problem in America is DC.

DC uses technology AGAINST US.

They have repeatedly proven that to us.

Any benefits that we gain from technology for our own purposes are a sideshow to their purposes.

DC doesn't want states to get in their way when it comes to AI.

We need the states as a line of defense.

Tucker Carlson on X:

Mark Levin was at the White House today, lobbying for war with Iran. To be clear, Levin has no plans to fight in this or any other war. He’s demanding that American troops do it. We need to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons, he and likeminded ideologues in Washington are now arguing. They’re just weeks away.

If this sounds familiar, it's because the same people have been making the same claim since at least the 1990s. It’s a lie. In fact, there is zero credible intelligence that suggests Iran is anywhere near building a bomb, or has plans to. None. Anyone who claims otherwise is ignorant or dishonest. If the US government knew Iran was weeks from possessing a nuclear weapon, we’d be at war already.

Iran knows this, which is why they aren’t building one. Iran also knows it’s unwise to give up its weapons program entirely. Muammar Gaddafi tried that and wound up sodomized with a bayonet. As soon as Gaddafi disarmed, NATO killed him. Iran’s leaders saw that happen. They learned the obvious lesson.

So why is Mark Levin once again hyperventilating about weapons of mass destruction? To distract you from the real goal, which is regime change — young Americans heading back to the Middle East to topple yet another government. Virtually no one will say this out loud. America’s record of overthrowing foreign leaders is so embarrassingly counterproductive that regime change has become a synonym for disaster. Officially, no one supports it. So instead of telling the truth about their motives, they manufacture hysteria: “A country like Iran can never have the bomb! They’ll nuke Los Angeles! We have to act now!”

They don’t really mean this, and you can tell they don’t by what they omit. At least two of Iran’s neighbors — both Islamic nations — already have nuclear weapons. That fact should scare the hell out of Mark Levin. Yet for some reason he never mentions it. How come? Because it’s not the weapons he hates. It’s the ideology of the Iranian government, which is why he’s lobbying to overthrow it.

It goes without saying that there are very few Trump voters who’d support a regime change war in Iran. Donald Trump has argued loudly against reckless lunacy like this. Trump ran for president as a peace candidate. That’s what made him different from conventional Republicans. It’s why he won. A war with Iran would amount to a profound betrayal of his supporters. It would end his presidency. That may explain why so many of Trump’s enemies are advocating for it.

And then there’s the question of the war itself. Iran may not have nukes, but it has a fearsome arsenal of ballistic missiles, many of which are aimed at US military installations in the Gulf, as well as at our allies and at critical energy infrastructure. The first week of a war with Iran could easily kill thousands of Americans. It could also collapse our economy, as surging oil prices trigger unmanageable inflation. Consider the effects of $30 gasoline.

But the second week of the war could be even worse. Iran isn’t Iraq or Libya, or even North Korea. While it’s often described as a rogue state, Iran has powerful allies. It’s now part of a global bloc called BRICS, which represents the majority of the world’s landmass, population, economy and military power. Iran has extensive military ties with Russia. It sells the overwhelming majority of its oil exports to China. Iran isn’t alone. An attack on Iran could very easily become a world war. We’d lose.

None of these are far fetched predictions. Most of them comport with the Pentagon’s own estimates: many Americans would die during a war with Iran. People like Mark Levin don’t seem to care about this. It’s not relevant to them. Instead they insist that Iran give up all uranium enrichment, regardless of its purpose. They know perfectly well that Iran will never accept that demand. They’ll fight first. And of course that’s the whole point of pushing for it: to box the Trump administration into a regime change war in Iran.

The one thing that people like Mark Levin don’t want is a peaceful solution to the problem of Iran, despite the obvious benefits to the United States. They denounce anyone who advocates for a deal as a traitor and a bigot. They tell us with a straight face that Long Island native Steve Witkoff is a secret tool of Islamic monarchies. They’ll say or do whatever it takes. They have no limits. These are scary people. Pray that Donald Trump ignores them.

Everyone is entitled to change their opinions.

But...

In my opinion, Trump was right to be embarrassed then, and should be embarrassed now.

Trump is creating a Palantir master database for them.

Sadly, the U.S. is working on abolishing freedom of speech too.

Each administration adds their own angle to it.

They chip away...chip away.

The current administration's angle is "anti-semitism."

When you're directed to fight someone, your ultimate enemy is not the someone.

It's the director.

Democracy is the ultimate system for tyranny.

WAY more than with a monarchy.

In a monarchy there is a clear distinction between the ruler and the ruled. There’s no doubt on who is who.

In a democracy, the people are suckered into believing that they are BOTH the ruler and the ruled. A logical impossibility.

So when voters realize that the live in a tyranny, they have to believe that they themselves are to blame; they voted for it.

They falsely believe that they ARE the government.

And they can’t ever vote themselves out!

In this world, there are the rulers and the ruled.

You cannot be both, unless you want to live in a totalitarian society.
