so simple its stupid, but,,,

but, thats not to say EASY.

Sarah had a dark moment in her Cassandra post, and returned with a brighter moment in her follow up.

Brighter does not mean it isn’t dark, but there is a light in the tunnel that isn’t an oncoming train.

The solution is easy, just not as easy to apply where it’s needed the most.   (always easier said than done, eh?)

The solution at YOUR level is “IGNORE THE JACKANAPES”.  They live on power, power over others, and if you ignore them, they don’t have that power. Stop feeding the beast.  

Where things go wonky with this solution is in the Corporate world.   All of the CEO’s Execs and the like that are complying even part way with all of these silly decrees and ‘Wokeness”, (and I am looking at you WORDPRESS with your silly ass rainbow W thumbnail for your app. ).  

It all comes down to TAXES.   They tax everything and the amounts those taxes add up to are staggering.   We see so much money being sent to places like the ‘Kraine, and people wonder where it all comes from (besides being arbitrary figures created out of thin air by some grifters with ‘a plan’).    It all comes from a percentage here, a point there, and its in every single aspect of our day to day.  Every-time we fill up at the tank, they are pulling in more money.   Money that was intended to be used for very specific things, but at the end of the day, its all ‘money in the bank’ for an out of control government.   Just like that 8% taken out of every paycheck in America to pay for Social Security: that was ‘promised’ to go into an investment portfolio to support the retired.   Now, its a slushfund and the actual payments are allocated from future payments: payments that are growing smaller by the year as the income brackets continue to fall in relation to inflation and needs.(I know that my verbiage is off a bit here, I am just flying on one wing this am.  Not enough coffee). Our Founders rebelled over a 3 cent tax stamp,,,,   Think about that.   How much are YOU paying in taxes? (granted, that 3 cent tax stamp was the straw that broke the back of that particular camel, as addressed by the list of grievances listed in the Declaration of Independence.   Go read that little essay if you haven’t in awhile and see just how much applied then as to what we ‘tolerate’ now.   Its an eye opener for certain.)

I have said it time and time again “STOP COMPLYING”, but it is not just us that needs to do so.   There has to be an accounting at the corporate level as well.   Sadly, I think we need the collapse to happen so that Corporates get a good swift kick in the ass (or a solid whack upside the head with the ClueBat.).   The problem really stems from the fact that Corporations don’t actually pay taxes.  (I still get funny looks from people when I tell them that, but its TRUE). Oh, they show tax payments to the GOV, but they don’t actually pay a dime.  They defray that into cost increases to the customer to make up the difference.  The customer is paying it: always has, always will.    And the Corporates are unpaid middlemen in the TaxScam.     

Imagine if we still had Tax Collectors as they did in King Georges Brittania days: Imagine if one person were assigned to task of going around and collecting the income tax from every person in your town, once a week.   Imagine how quickly the people being taxed would get their heads together, figure out just how much money was being fleeced from them and what they could do if they weren’t being fleeced.  I would imagine said tax collector would have a very short life expectancy.   And of course that’s why they do it the way they do: cut outs and middlemen to absorb the angst and defray the backlash. (Its not that we wouldn’t pay taxes, but when we figure out, AS A COLLECTIVE, just how much we actually pay,,,    Try and figure it out for yourself, and not JUST your income, but the tax you pay everywhere, to include at the pump (they hide that one, its actually quite significant, not just that $.009 they tack on) on your phone, your registrations, your certifications, all of those things you pay for that make living in a micromanaged ‘republic’ acceptable.    Take your time, and have the whiskey at hand for when you start to see the TRUE FIGURES

)

But there is backlash coming.   When we hit Weimar Germany levels of “wheelbarrow of money for a loaf of bread”, that backlash is going to be a wildfire.   What scares me about that: wildfires are uncontrollable.   Where this country ends up may be even worse.    (I’ve said it here a time or two.  Nehemiah Scudder level bad, or Lenin/Stalin/Mao/Polpot BAD.)

We have the midterms coming and all the signs are showing that the LEFT are preparing the theft machine again.   They know there is backlash building but they can not let go those levers of power.  If they would just leave the mechanisms alone, things would right themselves in short order, but they aren’t capable of that.  They are convinced they are IT.  (and I would say they are as convinced as Louis XIV was, up to when that blade went through his spine and he had 30 seconds of cognizant thought left to atone to his maker. ). ( I still think paper ballots, purple fingers is the way to go,,,    But I am just one little fish blogger in the great wide world.)

And in some ways, I am glad for their arrogance.   That arrogance is allowing us to finally see the parasite in the host.   I can only hope that we are able to purge that parasite of all the places it resides, and finally get BACK to that freedom I recall as a kid.     If they do ‘make the steal’ this round of (s)election cycles, it will be obvious to all, and the American people have always be told “we have a say”,,,,   If they take that away, and rub it our faces,,,,   (personally, I feel they already did that with the last (s)election and the whole Jan6 elephant-shit show,,,,   Apparently there needs to be a ton more of that to get Joey Normal off his couch.)
