What's called the silent majority is really the ignored majority, who for the most part are happy being ignored. Their lives revolve around their families, jobs, friends, and community, not the media, publicity, polls, or politics. They're sick of elections well before they've seen their hundredth campaign ad, received their hundredth mailer, or ignored their hundredth telephone call. They know that politicians are phony and corrupt and make jokes about them, but hope that their rulers don't screw things up too badly, cross their fingers, and vote for the perceived lesser of two evils.
There's a shortage of blue-ribbon pedigrees, Ivy League degrees, and gold-plated resumés among the ignored majority, but a surfeit of hard-knocks wisdom and common sense. Benjamin Franklin said, "Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other." Everybody does foolish things, but by and large, the ignored majority learns from the dear school and puts its lessons to good use.
The gilded class denigrates those outside it: Hillary Clinton deploring the "deplorables," Barack Obama saying working-class voters, "cling to guns or religion," and Obama telling entrepreneurs, "you didn't build that." Yet, it consistently, almost invariably, demonstrates a complete lack of the common-sense street smarts found in abundance among those it disparages.
The quotes' condescending arrogance rankles, but at a deeper level illustrate the real division in American politics — between the productive class and those it supports. At the intellectual level it's the irreconcilable difference between those who believe that value can and should be conferred by the government, and those who know it must be created and produced. It's believing or not believing that something can be had for nothing.
Freeloaders' delusion stems from psychology, not ignorance. Every human faces a choice. They can produce value or they can beg, borrow, defraud, or steal it from someone else. For every advance humanity has made, there's always been someone claiming their unfair share. Most of what we call history is merely an account of who's stealing or defrauding from whom.
Because production is necessary for human survival, not producing anything of value creates a gaping psychological fissure, one not generally recognized or acknowledged. What's generally accepted is that humans grasp at rationales and justifications for their actions, not just for the audience to which they're playing, but for themselves. Most political philosophy is just an elaborate justification for theft and fraud. Political systems don't spring from philosophies, the philosophies spring from the systems' actual or potential beneficiaries.
Governments can take every scrap of what is produced. They can pledge every scrap of future production as repayment for their debts. The legitimization of unlimited current and future plunder leads to ever-increasing plunder and debt — and ever-diminishing production. Present governments are merely repeating a cycle that's played out countless times throughout history.
You would think that government rapacity would be curbed when taxes, regulatory extortion, and debt disincentivize and begin reducing legitimate production. Unfortunately, that assumption flies in the face of historical fact; countless regimes have killed their golden geese. The only regimes that haven't are those that are currently in the process of doing so.
One among many of rulers' delusions is that the ruled are buying their lies. Over time the victims see through the propaganda and narrative management. The lies fool the rulers more than the ruled and are essential psychological support for this predatory and parasitic class.
Commentators from the alternative media bemoan the lack of intelligence and awareness of the American people, and the supposed dominance of the mainstream media narrative. Yet, any number of alternative media commentators, YouTubers, and sites routinely receive more readers or viewers than touted mouthpiece media "powerhouses." More people watch dissident Paul Joseph Watson's videos than Rachel Maddow's nightly screeds, but Maddow receives an inordinate amount of attention from the alternative and mainstream alike and Watson virtually none.
The alternative media's thousands of sites have eclipsed the mouthpiece media, which exists in a bubble of its own creation. It's a hugely underreported trend — without fanfare millions of people rejecting the mainstream, reading, researching, and coming to their own conclusions. There's 330 million Americans and many of them are neither stupid nor duped. It's just that nobody pays attention to them.
The media bubble envelopes the government-centered corruptocracy and allows those within to preserve the self-deception of personal worth. Someone who lives off the corporate-lobbyist-political food chain, shuffles paper in a government bureaucracy, enforces tax or regulatory extortion, or is otherwise supported in a something-for-nothing scheme cannot have the self-respect that comes from producing value. Instead, the predatory and parasitic classes cling to psychological crutches: conceit, arrogance, condescension, delusion, and willful ignorance.
The most intense predator and parasite condescension is directed at the producers who provide their sustenance. This may seem paradoxical but it's not. Honest production is an obvious moral rebuke to those who live by theft and fraud. Acknowledging either the value of producers or their own dependence on them would undermine the fragile edifice of their rickety substitutes for self-worth.
Disaffected veterans were the core of a group that would grow to millions, their "faith" in government and the people who ran it obliterated by its repeated failures and lies. Revolutions dawn when an appreciable number of the ruled realize their rulers are intellectual and moral inferiors. The mainstream media is filled with vituperative, patronizing, and insulting explanations of what's "behind" the Trump phenomenon. It all boils down to revulsion with the self-anointed, incompetent, pretentious, hypocritical, corrupt, prevaricating elite that presumes to rule this country. It is, in a word, inferior to the populace on the other side of the yawning chasm, the ones they have patronized and insulted for decades, and the other side knows it.Nothing has changed over the last four years, except that the ranks of disaffected have swollen. Trump gave voice to them in 2016 and he'll do it again in 2020. Once more it's the productive businessman outsider against a government hack insider. After Russiagate, the impeachment, the coronavirus power-grab, leftist and Marxist riots, and endless media-driven tempests in teapots, the somethings in this country are far more contemptuous of the nothings who presume to rule them — and farcically, have designs on the whole world — than they were four years ago. The ultimate farce is the Harris/Biden ticket: a corrupt, doddering, old fool and a nakedly ambitious shrew who even Democrats don't like, neither with a scintilla of detectable principle, waging the most inept campaign ever in front of face-masked, socially distanced audiences that number in the tens.
"Much More Than Trump," Robert Gore, SLL, March 3, 2016, reposted November 6, 2016
If he gets anything approaching an honest vote count Trump will win in a landslide. The "reputable" pollsters have become another arm of the entrenched powers' narrative management. Like everything else the corruptocrats have tried, this effort will prove inept. The purported double-digit Biden leads will motivate, not discourage, Trump's voters. By every other indicator — voter registrations, growing black and hispanic support, the crumbling entertainment and sports complex, the crumbling mainstream media, the ascendent alternative media, millions of new gun owners, backlash against the riots, slowly fading coronavirus hysteria, and off-the-charts attendance and enthusiasm at Trump rallies — Trump's winning by a country mile.
And let's not forget Hunter Biden's hard drive, much as the corruptocracy, Twitter, Facebook, and most of the mainstream media would like us to. The revelations are important not because they reveal that the Bidens are a criminal enterprise — we already knew that — but because they further confirm the suspicions of millions of street-smart, disaffected Americans: our country is a corruptocracy.
If Trump wins and quells the Super Tantrum, he'll have to do more than give voice to the disaffected. He's forced the corruptocrats from the depths of their swamp, and he may or may not be blackmailing them for his own purposes. But not a drop of swamp has been drained, and if nothing happens the next four years, Trump's tenure will be nothing more than a feel-good fantasy for his fans.
He'll have to either blackmail paid up swampsters William Barr and Christopher Wray to do their jobs or get rid of them for people who will. Nothing less than indictments and prosecutions that cuts a wide swath across the corruptocracy — Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Mueller, Page, Strzok, Haspel, the Biden crime family, Obama, the Clintons, many of the listings in Jeffrey Epstein's black book, and the rest of their insidious ilk — will do. Arresting Hunter and Joe Biden the day after the election would be a good start.
Trump must put up or shut up on draining the swamp before he can proceed to his long list of other unfinished business. The swamp is the inevitable backwash of a government that has arrogated unlimited power to itself, has first claim on everything produced within the United States, issues debt without limit, and maintains a confederated global empire. Power creates corruptocracies. There is a one in a trillion chance that Trump or any other ostensible outsider changes any of this, and a one in a quadrillion chance that the system reforms itself.
Trump or no Trump, the disaffected will get more disaffected, at least until the system collapses, which it will. The failing of all governments is that they can't produce, only coerce. What they can force their citizens to produce is astonishingly low compared to what those citizens would produce if left to their own devices in free markets. The productive economy is straining under the tax and debt loads it's being forced to carry. The debt orgy this year is probably the last straw. The shut-down real economy and debt-bloated financial markets will force a reckoning.
That reckoning will be global and governments will get smaller. Not because anyone within them experiences an intellectual conversion towards less government — and consequently less power — but because they are bankrupt and access to credit will be severely limited. Central banks may continue to buy their governments' debt with their own devalued debt, but that daisy chain will come to an end as well. A bear market in debt of all stripes and a bull market in interest rates loom. The silver lining: long suffering savers (both of them) and creditors will finally be compensated for the credit risks they bear.
With the crumbling of governments will come the crumbling of current political institutions and boundaries. The breakdown of the corrupt and doomed old order presents the opportunity for the establishment of new orders. What seems inconceivable now may occur with astonishing speed. A year ago, who envisioned what's transpired so far in 2020?
Millions of salt-of-the-earth, common sense Americans have watched in horror as their country has imploded from lockdown insanity and riots. There's an exodus from urban hellholes to safer and saner locales. The response to those who say breakdown can't happen is that it's already begun.
Alasdair Macleod is writing about Europe, but what he says applies to the United States:
The fate of the euro will be shared with the majority — if not all — of other fiat currencies for reasons specific to them. The recovery from the ashes of government incompetence can be swift — a matter of a year or two, so long as successor governments quickly learn that free markets, sound money and minimal interference from government are all required for the restoration of economic progress. Additionally, all socialist policies must be discarded, and the profit motive and individual wealth creation embraced.There will be jurisdictions, some born out of secession or insurrection, that will institute "free markets, sound money, and minimal interference from government," along with the concomitant essentials: freedom and the protection of individual rights, because they work and have worked throughout history. They are the quickest way to recover from economic and financial devastation. Most importantly, freedom is the only moral system, the only system compatible with productive survival, and the only system that promotes human happiness.
"The destruction of the euro," Alasdair Macleod, goldmoney.com, October 22, 2020
Freedom, rather than Trump, represents the best hope for the righteously disaffected.

There are three kinds of dogs (not two) and I shall describe them briefly:
The first dog, if given some meat, will chew it slowly and carefully and when the food descends to its stomach, it will digest properly. Hence, that dog will have a fine coat and a good musculature and in general, have a pretty good life.
The second dog, if fed, will bolt its food down ravenously, and its further digestion will suffer. It will feel pains and various diseases that it needn't and it may even choke itself to death.
The first type of dog, exhibits the grace of God, and can help the second dog learn to overcome its foibles and stupidity. This is good.
The third type of dog is a special breed. It pretends to be either the first or the second, but it is neither. This dog, when given meat, hoards some of the meat and is very secretive about this. When it has enough of this 'hoard', which becomes very massive, it uses it to control the second dog and to poison the first.
The first dog, being poisoned, can no longer help the second dog, and the third dog seizes the day.
This is where we are now.
And every dog is sick.
And this is bad.

BTW, thought it was about time to test my theory about the world in general and the West/US in particular.
If the political system is controlled by evil entities, and media are an important part of the control, one might presume that honored celebrities are equally dirty. So, I picked a long-dead celeb, thought for a moment what he looks like, and pounded the keywords into my search engine (no, not Google...) : " Charlie Chaplin + pedophile ".

The nonNationals who control the nations ruin the the National Industries-The Golden Geese then sweep up the debris for themselves. The only regimes that haven't are those that are currently in the process of doing so.

There is a big list of people who are desperate to get rid of Trump and hope all this goes away with him. I for one just did not realise how desperate. They are all in this together, covering some pretty big arses.
I for one thought it was hate of Trump that has been driving all the enquires, impeachment, smearing, propaganda etc for the last four years. But that’s not it. That is the distraction.
They can not let Trump have a second term under any circumstances because of the indictments many will face, and that is why we are where we are today, and that is why this won’t end until they get him out of the WH - before inauguration day.
I had wondered why we were hearing stories about a coup, about removing DT from the WH. This is all about protecting themselves: Obama Biden Clinton Brennan Comey Judge Sullivan Stoke. I am sure there are many more. This is not just about stealing an election; it’s about protection.
If the White house has clear evidence of massive voting fraud in multiple states, then we are in the midst of a Coup d'etat.
Trump needs to take action immediately:
1.Declare martial law
2.Open the emergency broadcast system, with a very carefully crafted factual speech, lay out to the American people what has happened, and that it is stopped now and that he is not declaring a dictatorship - he is only declaring the election invalid - show them the facts of significant malfeasance.
3.Send the military to take over: all of the media networks; the associated press; the major newspapers, Twitter, Facebook and Google. In the name of supporting a Coup - the ownership is liquidated.
4.Take over the CDC and the Covid "case" count and put this Plandemic to bed.
5.Set a date for a new - fair and freely contested national election - for President, Congress and the Senate. Allow states to decide the fate of local elections. Put all non-critical activity of Congress and the President on-hold until the new election is completed and new electees are inducted. Do not take advantage of the situation.
6.Eliminate the CIA, FBI and NSA - fire all employees and put a process in place to rebuild the intelligence community from the ground up.
7.Put the military on high alert to defend against any foreign action.
8.Be surgical, ruthless, and completely fair in the process and he will be remembered in history as the savior of our democracy...
The President is sworn to defend this country from "All enemies foreign and domestic" . If he has evidence that he has fairly won the election and that significant (I'm not talking about a vote here or there - I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of votes), then these are domestic enemies of our country that have perpetrated this voting fraud. If so, he is the rightful president. His supporters will not have a problem with him taking fair and balanced action. If we have a fair election and he loses, then he loses. If we do not have a fair election, then he must act immediately.
