Haven't all of those places ceased to be ruled by those independent entities and aren't they now ruled by the State?

Great guest! I'm currently enjoying reading his book "The Total State: How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies."

This episode seems to provide a nice summary of what the book covers.

"If we won't be ruled by our churches, if we won't be ruled by our fathers, if we won't be ruled by our community, WE WILL BE RULED BY THE STATE. Those are the only options."

–Auron MacIntyre on "Your Welcome" with Michael Malice

Spoken like a true Viking 😄

I do think the U.S. has sway over Europe through NATO, though. Look at how the U.S. got the Nordstream-II pipeline blown up and neither Germany or any other European country has done anything about it. With good friends like that, who needs enemies?

So was Nietzsche admitting to being demon-possessed? I know that Jung claimed to have a spirit-guide.

What about this?

"According to a statement from the US Justice Department, Assange is now banned from returning to the United States without permission. This ban is part of his plea agreement and is in effect unless he is granted permission."

Perhaps Norway is still more responsive to the people because it's not part of the European Union, but it is in NATO, and therefore somewhat under the U.S. thumb. France is part of both. But if you are correct, I'm glad to read that.

Did He actually come soon, as He said? Or is this still unfulfilled, nearly 2,000 years later?

"More than terrorism, more than domestic extremism, more than gun violence and organized crime, the U.S. government has become a greater menace to the life, liberty and property of its citizens than any of the so-called dangers from which the government claims to protect us."

"If voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it. Americans only think they’re choosing the next president. In truth, however, they’re engaging in the illusion of participation culminating in the reassurance ritual of voting. It’s just another manufactured illusion conjured up in order to keep the populace compliant and convinced that their vote counts and that they still have some influence over the political process."

"When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals."

"For all intents and purposes, we now have a fourth branch of government. This fourth branch came into being without any electoral mandate or constitutional referendum, and yet it possesses superpowers, above and beyond those of any other government agency save the military. It is all-knowing, all-seeing and all-powerful. It operates beyond the reach of the president, Congress and the courts, and it marches in lockstep with the corporate elite who really call the shots in Washington, DC."

"The government is not our friend. Nor does it work for “we the people.” Our so-called government representatives do not actually represent us, the citizenry. We are now ruled by an oligarchic elite of governmental and corporate interests whose main interest is in perpetuating power and control."

> As it stands all we have is the cessation of one single act of depravity by an empire who’s only backing off to make room for newer, more important depravities. We all still live under a globe-spanning power structure which has shown the entire world that it will destroy your life if you expose its criminality, and then stand back and proudly call this justice.

Checks ✅ out. You didn't expect a fair fight from the Devilcrats, did you?

I was playing around once and put two short Bible books on Nostr, where each verse gets a note:

I didn't see all of the demands. No audience?! It's getting more and more anti-democratic all the time...

Watch him astonish everyone at the debate coming up...

Is this cruel and unusual?

Unless that's how he killed his victim, in which case it's exact justice...
