A SKEPTIC'S VIEW

Will Trump Act?

Last week it was the National Guard and the Marines in LALA land on Trump's unilateral order, without the Governor's request.

Now it is this: https://www.zerohedge.com/weather/everyones-been-shot-here-arsonists-set-wildfire-northern-idaho-open-fire-firefighters

Will Trump do it again? Will he send in the NG and Marines to hunt LEO killers? If he does, you will know both events were false flags to condition us for nationwide Martial Law.

That's what Trump wants, isn't it? That's what Hillary, Biden, and Harris also wanted. See, there is really only a single political power in the USA. Trump can suspend elections under martial law. That way he can stay in office, AND he can prevent the Democrats from controlling Congress. What do the tea leaves say?.

Another Step Toward Martial Law

Detention of Americans under conditions that violate Natural Law and rules of the Geneva Convention. This administration, like the last six administrations, have no regard for the Bill of Rights. It is time to completely decentralize government.

That is the worst performance in 52 years. And that is just the beginning of the dollar's decline. It is time to undo the damage Nixon did to our monetary system.

The Inherent Corruption In Government - Part 1


And please understand, the MAGA-hats have the same intentions for their enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Here is the link:  https://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/breaking-dni-tulsi-gabbard-confirms-former-president-obama-authorized-assassination-attempt-on-trump/

And here is an excerpt:
Redacted transcripts reveal that Obama, under the pretense of national security, convened an off the books task force of senior intelligence officials and military advisors at Camp David in late December. One document, marked Eyes Only 44, reads: "The threat Trump poses to institutional stability cannot be overstated. Removal, if necessary, is justified." While Obama has not commented publicly, legal teams are reportedly mobilizing behind the scenes. As the files prepare to go public, the country teeters on the edge of political reckoning, and the question now isn't whether there was a plot, but how far it went, and who else was involved.

The Inherent Corruption In Government - Part 2
How Party Politics Destroys Independent Thought and Liberty
 

Noah Webster [1758-1843, attorney, educator] didn't mince words; "Nothing is more dangerous to the cause of truth and liberty than a party-spirit." Over 200 years ago, he saw the danger of trading truth and principle for party loyalty. In other words, when people stop thinking and start following, liberty doesn't stand a chance. Here is Webster's message, step by step.

Step One: Independence Is Surrendered.
"When men become members of a political club, they lose their individual independence of mind. They lose their impartiality of thinking and acting, and become the dupes of other men."

Step 2: Fair judgment disappears.
"The moment a man is attached to a club, his mind is not free:" This is the foundation of the warning. If the mind isn't free, the person isn't either. Obedience replaces curiosity. Conformity replaces conviction.
 
 Step 3: Tribalism replaces reason.
"He receives a bias from the opinions of the party:" Suddenly, positions change. What was once wrong becomes right - because the party line says so.
"A question indifferent to him, is no longer indifferent, when it materially effects a brother of the society." Tribal politics hijack priorities. Issues that were once irrelevant become flashpoints - not because of principle, but because the party has something to gain.
"He is not left to act for himself; he is bound in honor to take part with the society."
Dissent becomes disloyalty. Acting from conscience is frowned upon. Silence becomes complicity.
"His pride and his prejudices, if at war with his opinion, will commonly obtain the victory;" Even when there's inner conflict - when something feels off - pride usually wins.
"And rather than incur the ridicule or censure of his associates, he will countenance their measures, at all hazards;" Avoiding shame becomes the goal. To keep status and favor, people go along - supporting policies and actions they'd never accept from the other side.
"And thus an independent freeman is converted into a mere walking machine, a convenient engine of party leaders."

Step 4: A Once-Free Mind Becomes An Obedient Tool.
No different from a campaign sign or a soundbite. Reliable, predictable - and utterly controlled. That's what party loyalty creates: blind obedience packaged as virtue.
"Nothing is more dangerous to the cause of truth and liberty than a party-spirit." Not foreign enemies. Not economic collapse. Not even war. Party-spirit.
 Because when winning becomes the goal, truth is the casualty. And when loyalty to a party overrides loyalty to liberty, the Constitution becomes optional. Power is excused. Abuse is rationalized.
This corruption isn't limited to one side. It infects every corner of the political establishment - and most of the grassroots - today.
The loudest defenders of "freedom" often vanish when their team is the one in power. The same people who scream about overreach look the other way when it's coming from their side.
"An independent freeman is converted into a mere walking machine, a convenient engine of party leaders."

Webster's warnings still hit like a hammer.
It wasn't just about politicians. It was about everyone willing to trade principle for party. Those whose principles shift depending on which party is doing it were never patriots. They're pawns. And nothing is more dangerous to liberty than letting pawns pretend they stand for freedom.
