Those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it.
Some people just have to learn the hard way.
Yes, those are platitudes that many of us like to spout when history DOES actually repeat itself, and when young anarchists are persuaded or paid to give communal and what we call communistic living a shot. Really. We do this. It is happening in multiple corners of the internet, including Professor Jonathan Turley comparing what is happening right now to the French Revolution when the mobs in Paris defaced quite a bit of property and destroyed anything that reeked of privilege. Personally, this writer believes a more apt comparison can be made to other ugly times in history, but the point is the same: the people were sent to the brink.
With the current generation of young anarchists claiming what amounts to colonies within American cities, trying out communal living for the upteenth time in trying to improve on the Paris Commune of 1871, the words of the first governor of Plymouth Plantation – the original American commune that failed – resonate.
(Forget the tall tale that is told about the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving which is taught in schools and has become legend. The real truth is a lot less romantic.)
From The Story of the Plymouth Commune:
The real story is much more interesting than the simplified version we learned as school children and offers valuable insight into solutions to our economic problems.
Over half of the 101 Pilgrims who first landed on Cape Cod were dead within the first few months of their arrival, victims of disease, harsh weather conditions and malnutrition. Over the next three years, 100 more settlers joined Plymouth Plantation, but the colony was barely able to feed itself. According to William Bradford, the first governor of the colony, the Pilgrims were so destitute that “many sold away their clothes and bed coverings [to the Indians]; others (so base were they) became servants to the Indians and would cut them wood and fetch them water for a capful of corn; others fell to plain stealing, both night and day, from the Indians … .”
Why was this happening? New England may not have the most temperate climate or the most fertile soil, but the Native Americans had managed to grow food and feed themselves. What prevented the Pilgrims from doing likewise?
The answer, it turns out, was an incorrect political economic decision imposed on the colony by the investors in the Mayflower. Before you blame capitalism (a term which had not yet been coined) and bankers, however, understand that the cause of the Pilgrims’ problems was the decidedly anti-capitalist property distribution scheme these investors imposed. They assumed that common property ownership would be the most profitable arrangement under which the Pilgrims could work and produce in order to pay back the money fronted them for their voyage. These investors turned Plymouth Plantation into a collectivized farm.
The results were disastrous. Where there is not ownership there is no pride and little incentive. Governor Bradford explained it this way: “For the young men, that were most able and fit for labour and service, did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense.” Those who did more of the work also felt it unjust that they should receive no greater reward than those who did little, Bradford said, and husbands resented that their wives were forced to cook and care for men to whom they were not married.
The problem was solved when each household was given a private plot of land to tend. “This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious,” Bradford reported, “so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been by any means the Governor or any other could use, and saved him a great deal of trouble and gave far better content.”
Bradford blamed the failed collectivization experiment on “that conceit of Plato,” referencing the Greek philosopher’s advocacy of collective ownership of land, and said those who believed communal property would make people “happy and flourishing” mistakenly thought themselves “wiser than God.”
Those who blame the “greedy investors” for this debacle miss the point. The Pilgrims were not in conflict with those who had enabled them to flee to the New World but with each other. Some saw an opportunity to slack off while others supported them, and those willing to work became decidedly less willing when they saw no more benefit to themselves than to their lazy fellow colonists.
As is always the case when an economic system fails, it was a failure of human nature rather than the system. But since human nature itself is eternal and does not seem to change no matter how hard utopians try to force it to, it makes sense that a system which accepts human nature and works with it to produce the best results will succeed.
Seriously, communal living and work distribution only works in the Biblical sense, when dedication to God is involved.
From the Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 2:
[42] And they were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers. [43] And fear came upon every soul: many wonders also and signs were done by the apostles in Jerusalem, and there was great fear in all. [44] And all they that believed, were together, and had all things common. [45] Their possessions and goods they sold, and divided them to all, according as every one had need.
[46] And continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they took their meat with gladness and simplicity of heart; [47] Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord increased daily together such as should be saved.
And even then, personality conflicts prevent true peace and tranquility in communal living.
It can be done, solving the conflicts, but it takes change on the part of at least one person to make it happen.
And to get the transformation to take place, the person changing must be at the brink, the precipice, when they think nothing else will solve the problem, a lot like an addict admitting they have hit bottom.
An illness. A marriage or any other relationship falling apart. Financial ruin. A special needs family member. A profession that dies. All of these situations force change that either encourages growth or results in disaster.
In the current national situation where we find ourselves: Freedoms in peril; A nation in danger of dissolving; Decades of work destroyed….
That’s what it is taking to get the people to wake up, and walk away from the dark side.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. (I’m full of these platitudes today.) What we are witnessing is the American people being taken to the brink. We, the red-pilled and the people who understand that the CHAZ colony in Seattle, among others, is a futile exercise, see the entire situation as a demonstration of weakness among Democrat leaders – which it is – but those who are still supportive of Democrats don’t. They still reside in an echo chamber that has nothing more to say than Orange Man Bad, and mail in voting. That echo chamber is in the process of being destroyed.

The ‘how’ will be hard to understand for most.
Focus on the ‘why’.
The ‘when’ is now.
Q
Why is this happening? To save the nation, and the world, from enslavement and murder by a group of people who think they were created more equal than others. No, it is not going to be pretty. It is going to be rough, and there are times it will seem that all hope is lost.
In the end, though, God wins.
In the meantime, we’re in for a wild ride. Buckle up.
Communism is a great scheme, as long as God is running it.
Communism takes God out of the equation and puts the state as replacement. When the state is the replacement then it becomes autocratic . In communism one is forced to give onnes freedom to the state and the state takes care of you until you are unable to work.
Once old and not contributing to the community of communism one is useless without worth to society. One only is useful when working for the state because of iIndustry , farms large property is owned by the state.
One does not have to think any longer because all decisions are made for the people, where to work and how long. How much one is paid and the student is assigned to study for he jobs the state needs not what one likes.
These idiots in Seattle have no idea what would await them because they are the first to go. Communism does not tolerate lazy people and people who are destructive or on drugs.

First it was the educators and academia….
Then it was the Federal Law Enforcement agencies….
Now it’s the military top brass being political while professing not to be…..
and to top it off, it’s the medical research and science community betraying and lying to us.
LaVoy’s Daughters sang this
ARE YOU, ARE YOU GOING TO AGREE?
OUR FREEDOMS ARE WANING & WE’LL LOSE OUR LIBERTY.
SLIPPING ONE BY ONE UNTIL THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO SEE
ARE YOU, ARE YOU WILLING TO STAND WITH ME.
ARE YOU, ARE YOU JUST GOING TO LET IT BE?
THE RANCHERS ARE FIST BUT BOTHER IT MAY BE ME NEXT
WE ALL STAND TOGETHER OR WE’LL HANG SEPARATELY
ARE YOU ARE YOU GOING TO THE TREE
ARE YOU ARE YOU WILLING TO BE FREE
IT WON’T GET ANY EASIER TO REGAIN LOST LIBERTY
STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN THIS
LAND THAT ONCE WAS FREE
SO BROTHER I ASK YOU
ARE YOU GOING TO STAND BY ME?
LaVoy was an incredible man.
he was and i just recently met a fairly good friend of his that was involved in the stand off, I was like wow, He lives in Oregon and just happened to be gone when hell broke lose there
Any real info books around on LaVoy?
Son was just telling me about the series on WACO. He said the people there were portrayed and pretty crazy, but the producers didn’t hold back criticism of the gov either.
We had church today—Not many were there but it was church I guess,
No more greeting each other just before sermon, we are are all sitting at least 6 ft apart and to me we had music without singing, Hope you read the last part right, we couldn’t sing to the hymns???
“Singing is discouraged as it is thought to be an activity that expels significantly more virus than talking,” Oregon edict states
The bit about singing is actually nationwide. It’s getting very painful, TBH.
I watch Mass online because I won’t wear a mask in Church. I am made in God’s image. Veiling myself with opaque material is an offense to that image.
Plus, I know this is all about control and is perfect BRAVO SIERRA. More and more people are getting that, that’s for sure.
Yet they are allowed to protest without being arrested and shout and yell something very wrong with all of it
Oh, the irony.
Perhaps, ignore their dumb ass rules. Call it a peaceful protest against your wench governor Brown.
Oh I signed the recall petition!
Kind of funny in a way cause she technically the one who signs my check in a way LOL
Don’t hide your racism and privilege behind a mask: masks off for George Floyd!
Kim, Isn’t that horrible. Masks mandatory at ours, or you have to sit in a separate room, except the pastor took off his mask when he preached (he was nine feet away.) I’m not going back until this is over, and then I’m not sure. Whoever dreamed up this plot was brilliant.
Masks were not mandatory at ours…Good thing cause the one mask I had I couldn’t find. It got lost between the dryer and my car I think..Last thing I remember was taking it out just in case I needed it for church. My extras are at work, and Im on break for 2 weeks from that.
Do believe this was in the making for a long long time. Do believe it started prior to Bush Sr., maybe as far back as JFK or even further.
What is interesting is a lot of it mirrors Hitlers regime DAMN—that is really really scary.
I agree about planned long ago, and we know about event 201, don’t we?
OK what am I missing again….just commented to a friend that I just found out about Bush Sr and Obama connection since Obama was 8,l Damn and I thought I was fairly up on the crap
I do everything I can to ignore “social distancing” and won’t wear a mask.
At my nail guy, he has me wear it below my nose! It is the only thing I do lately that keeps me sane…Otherwise I don’t wear a mask. Work doesn’t required it and even the workers at my doctor’s office don;t wear a mask. As my doctor said the other day. “Yes you might get it but you are NOT going to die from it”(speaking of the virus)l
My boss is screwing with me really bad, and I have a foot injury since January that is not going away!
I need something in my life that makes me feel like a woman, and I don’t want the nail place shut down.
Hey I’m better off then many many others just explaining why the vanity need! Our Lord is good to me and do believe He not done with me yet either,
Then, Kalbo, you are selfish. Lol. Me, too.
Yes, selfishly pursuing normal…life we had four months ago.
Like that a lot, Kalbo. We are normal, they are not. I was told in the very beginning of this that I was being “selfish” because I dared to question some of these mandates. I don’t need the nanny state to decide for me how much risk I want to take.
I actually like the social distancing thing, but that may be my visual perception disorder talking.
The VERY chlorinated municipal pool where social distancing is not an issue, it’s that big, OTOH, being closed IS very much a problem. I’m PI$$ED off. That pool is half the reason I live in this muni.
Yea, we’ve bantered on this. Casual three feet is what I recall as normal. Much more at ATMs, pharmacy, etc. Standing on a predetermined X, because FauXi says so. Not buying into it.
Stores, intentionally walk against the one-way arrows.
Ludicrous pools are closed.
“Ludicrous pools are closed.”
Nowhere to get large amounts of sun.
Makes it difficult to produce Vitamin D, a vitamin that boosts the immune system.
Unfortunately, singing has shown to be a way to effectively spread the virus. There is an example of this from Sweden, where three choirs met up on the island Vrångö, near Gothenburg on May 24. Now 11 of 15 tested showed to be positive, and about half of the population on this island, approximately 100 out of 200, have the corona symptoms.
This event is also part of the reason why neigboring countries which are now trying to open their borders for travel and tourism, to still require all who come from or have visited Sweden, to be quarantined. In contrast, travellers can now move more freely between all the other countries in the region, such as Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and even Germany.
I don’t like this, that singing has become dangerous, but it is like the weather: can’t do anything about it other than roll with the punches…
“that singing has become dangerous,”
With hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and antibiotics, the risk of dying drops back to almost zero.
The same people reporting to you about Swedish choir meets, and the same people making the rules about international travel, are both among the people lying to you about the safety and effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine.
New Hit Song Playing Now On NPR
Oh noes! Oh noes!
Sure the cases are dropping down now
The curve is getting thin
But oh folks it’s no to go downtown and
We can’t just give ’em the medicine
Oh noes! Oh noes!
Epidemic it just start again
You got to listen to me
You got to trust yer government friend
We can’t just give ’em the medicine
Oh noes! Oh noes!
Bad virus do it come ‘round again
We can’t just give ’em the medicine
Oh no
I ain’t felt this bad since a quarter past ten
Why won’t they gimme a preventative
Oh no
It go down easy like quinine and gin
Tree bark and flowers make a curative
Oh Yeah
You got to trust yer government friend
We can’t just give ’em the medicine
Oh Yeah
‼️‼️ 😊
Do believe like many others and even my doctor.. This is no more dangerous than the flu viruses that we have had every flu season for many decades. Might get it, but I mostly likely wont die from it.
Personally i have come believe that this is is a planned way for them to control us. The part about forced vaccine is actually the scariest part to me, and actually many others. Do you realize how small microchips are now?
For now I will contend with it, but I do believe that the more we give in the more they will take.
Since I’ve already have had covid-19, I’d say it is rather worse than an ordinary flu — 6 weeks sick with covid-19 instead of just 10 days with an ordinary flu. That’s me; I do know others who had it and hardly had much of any symptoms at all, so there is a large YMMV factor here. In fact, it varies from not noticeable, to death. And no-one knows until they get to try.
I know how hydroxycloroquine allows the zinc ions to block the receptors on the cells where the coronavirus would have been attacking them, and all that is great as it is. Provided it gets applied, and various authorites don’t stop treatment on account of some flawed study or report that made it look like it didn’t work.
Also, there is an obvious and huge discontinuity between the strict (enacted and enforced) requirements for travelling, quarantining, space between persons, hand-washing and other hygienic action on the one side, and the free-for-all crowding of people protesting; showing that all of a sudden all the contagion-limiting activity was for nought? When the number of cases start increasing again, further attempts at lockdown will be resisted with reference to the crowding. Besides, there is a limit on how long people will stand being isolated, regardless of the economic aspects.
The whole vaccine thing is scary, but there has to be sufficient disinformation for that to pass. Experts and studies saying one thing then later another thing, as with the hydroxychloroquine, won’t work so well…. There is a limit on how small those chips can be and still be possible to communicate with. This has to do with radio signal’s wavelengths and their ability to penetrate body tissue.
I now have around 12 distant and close friends that have had it.
Only one said it was worse than the flu, and yes, we all worried about her since she is almost 80,
One whose only symptom was the lost her sense of smell for like 2 weeks and temp for a few days, otherwise she was fine. Yet with 2 kids still in diapers she said it was nice not to have to smell poop diapers.
Two that said it was a snap compared to any other flu viruses they had.
Four or five that only knew they had it due to having to be tested due to tracing,
Personally, I feel that it is like other flu diseases, some get hit hard regardless of their medical condition, and some are like oh my I have or had what.
Do think that elderly are more susceptible, especially those with other medical conditions. If you think about it that is probably why Care Facilities got hit so hard. Most elderly go to them because they and/or their family can’t take care of themselves properly due to health issues.
If this very early Q crumb is an indication of future events, things have to reach a point where the emergency broadcast system is initiated and POTUS is forced to leave the country.
I recommend taking this summer to prepare. Stock up on essentials in case we have another period of bare grocery shelves (buy toilet paper!). Get a gun/ammo/self-defense plan if you haven’t already.
We are close.
This weekend, I was also rereading the early Q posts, from Oct. and early Nov. 2017.
It’s amazing how many points that were thought to be disinformation to confuse the bad guys, when related to the news of that time period, seem so prescient and literal when applied to analyzing the news of the current season, just 2 and a half years later.
Future proves past.
Probably should have included this with my post
Take me back
To the place that feels like home
To the people I can depend on
To the faith that’s in my bones
Take me back
To a preacher and a verse
Where they’ve seen me at my worst
To the love I had at first
Oh, I want to go to church
Yes. Like the Collingsworth Family’s “Grandpa (Tell Me ’bout the Good Ole Days)”

yep….this one just pulled at me…it is a newer one.
One of the biggest problems for many is that their ego will not let them realize anything that counters what they THINK they “know”. Those are the group that no matter how much you show them…they will never be red-pilled.
That seems to be a common and recurring problem, when it comes to political thought, among Germans.
I know it affects other people and other domains of knowledge. But politics in Germany has been a biggy, worldwide, at least since Kant and Hegel.
Since you seem to know, what is the brink?
I’d like to know so I recognize it when it gets here.
Your guess is as good as mine, but I’m sure we’ll all know it when we see it.
Maybe.
Possibly.
When Q tells us we’re there on November 4.
We’ll only know it when we’re well past it. About the time we have time to start counting the bodies.
Sort of like, “when does a retreat become a rout?” If you’re a participant, you can’t tell. If you were a neutral observer in a balloon, you couldn’t tell. But afterwards, you’ll know.
Simple. We win the election or its war. Not like your going to get a choice in the matter unless your going to follow Warsaw as an example. More than enough won’t wait so we all get sucked in, willingly I might add. Meanwhile maybe something in between. If so I’ll tell ya about that after and when its done if you don’t already know.
That roller coaster ride: yikes! Not my thing. Try riding in that first car while working very complex math problems and you may begin to imagine what it’s like to be a fighter pilot.
The Voyage? That’s actually in the Thanksgiving section at Holiday World. The Raven, their original big woodie, is renowned for being a great ride. I was on it the night it broke speed records. They opened the trim breaks on the acceleration drop and greesed the tracks. After a rain shower…WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stupidity is infinite. So is evil.
Neither exists in Heaven. Praise God.
The forces of darkness keep trying to push us over the brink.
But I think our President keeps doing things that pull us back from the brink.
We may never know about all the things he has done and is doing, to keep us from disaster.
But I am so grateful that he is our President.
And…Yes! Communism never works.
It goes against basic human nature, and only survives for awhile by brutality and force.
The good Lord saw fit to give us the Gift of Free Will.
Certain people and their constructs of government seek to take this away from us…but they cannot erase it from our basic nature.
Watch this older woman in blue.. very heartening.
———————————————————————-
Shows a scene in some Euro country. There’s riot police dressed in black and in helmets carrying three foot riot clubs coming up four abreast in the distance between the side walk and a line of buses that are not moving.
Scene shift to the right at the head of where buses are stopped. Antifa looking types, dressed in black with hoods and masks are blocking the buses. Crowd stands around watching, includes older woman with short reddish hair, in what might be a blue wind breaker or slicker watching in the foreground. Hard to guess what any of them might be thinking.
Scene shift. Riot police turn corner and start to run out and assault the antifa types, tackling some and scattering the others as they explode on the scene.
Now older lady in blue, a serious looking woman, steps out in the foreground and gives the thumbs up to the police. No smiles, just thumbs up.. gesturing good job, about time.
((not sure something gets dragged atop this twitter post. It’s the lower if that happens))
https://twitter.com/AlwaysActions/status/1272212926561206275?s=20
Ackkk… corrections. Some of the riot police poles were at least four foot and length and older woman in blue who have thumbs up, added, so there were two thumbs up by her by the end the vid.
Oh this is good. (Fourth time watching) Not only do the riot police tackle and shackle the ones they caught but they unmask them there on the spot. Meanwhile the older woman in blue doesn’t crack a smile but she is clearly quite satisfied with the performance.
Two thumbs up from me too. 🙂
I have rearranged a couple of Brian Cates threads. This is what I think is the actual plan:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
REMEMBER Yesterday on Sunday, Appreciation for OBAMA was trending on Twitter? 🤢 🤮
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Back to Brian’s thread:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
However REMEMBER what Praying Medic said, if you combine his views with that of four other Trump/Q followers Like Tracy Beanz, X22 Report, they have a BIGGER AUDIENCE than the four media companies combined CNN, ABC, ….
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

AND THAT is what QAnon has been all about. To form us into a MASSIVE GRASSROOTS popular movement to counter the astroturf Marxist Cult. The commies are using the same playbook they did in 1917. Being LOUD and AGGRESSIVE and using BULLYING BY PROFESSIONALS to give the ILLUSION they represent the MAJORITY.
“The word “Bolshevik” (большевик) means “one of the majority” in Russian and is derived from the word “большинство” (transliteration: bol’shinstvo, see also Romanization of Russian) which means “majority” in English.” — Wiki.
The entry of course says the Bolsheviks were the majority now, but earlier information says they were not. Britannica is closer to the truth: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Bolshevik
“….The group originated at the party’s second congress (1903) when Lenin’s followers, insisting that party membership be restricted to professional revolutionaries, won a temporary majority on the party’s central committee and on the editorial board of its newspaper Iskra. They assumed the name Bolsheviks and dubbed their opponents the Mensheviks (“Those of the Minority”)….” So the Bolsheviks were a tiny ‘temporary majority’ IN ONE PARTY and not the majority of Russians.
I do not think continuous riots for four+ months are part of the plan because they are a turn off for most people. The Riots instead were to GAIN ATTENTION so the ‘White Privilege’ gaslighting had an explosive attention grabbing starting point. Periodic rioting to rev up waning attention can probably be expected.
I think President Trump has plans for the ‘professional revolutionaries’ He has signaled those plans by picking up over 75 on FEDERAL charges. What do you think those ‘professionals’ are going to do when facing 40 to 80 years in prison AND being Epsteined? Sing like a bird — FAST???
