"You mentioned the Blacklock's story revealing hundreds of thousands of dollars paid to Twitter influencers. Then there was over $100 million... paid by the government to the regime media during the lockdowns. There's the annual media bailout. So there's the carrot but then there's now the stick, because, you know, you can't force people to watch the CBC... The CBC's viewership is falling even by their own acknowledgement. People will find interesting things on their own... But now in Canada, you got [Bill] C-11, which grants the government domain over the internet, [Bill] C-18, and other bills yet to come. They have something called the Online Harms Act that they're planning to reintroduce. So if the government couldn't get people to watch the regime media with a carrot, here they come with a stick."
"Americans today are increasingly polarized, as if they constitute two separate nations." - Strauss & Howe - The Fourth Turning
"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." - Thomas Paine - The American CrisisThomas Paine wrote these words 247 years ago, in the most historic year in our history - 1776. That was during the first American Fourth Turning. It's not a coincidence we are now in the midst of our fourth Crisis period in U.S. history, as they arrive like clockwork every 80 years or so, the length of a long human life. Paine's American Crisis began in 1773, ignited by the Boston Tea Party and the British reaction to this revolutionary act of defiance. Our current Millennial Crisis was triggered by the Federal Reserve/Wall Street/Government created financial disaster in 2008 and subsequent outrageously desperate, totalitarian, un-Constitutional, extreme acts designed to keep the ruling class in power, while impoverishing and enslaving the masses in a surveillance state techno-gulag.
