Yep, the day Obama was elected. I knew then we were doomed. It wasn't because a black man was elected president, it was because an unqualified liberal was. He started this free fall and Trump only slowed it down for a while.

If we don't take back the branches of the government in the next couple of elections, we will be forced to fight for our freedoms.

I know the intel agencies have always been dirty. But, what blows my mind is how they have gone from organizations seemingly geared to fight communism 30+ years ago to ones imposing it.

What I did wonder about was how this country has been able to thrive as a representative republic/democracy through the 200 plus years. I felt like the usual mindset for the powerful is to lord over or subjugate the "inferiors". Hence any opposition to the communists Russia or the Chinese rulers etc., etc. was to be stamped out. And we didn't have that here.

Well now I think we are a packed SC court away from doing it. The desire to kill the filibuster is a prime example. The nearly total control of universities by a socialist woke half of America is another example that brainwashes many of our kids. Rather than to blather on, I think we could see America fail. And the the other side will rule over the millions they hate.

Is this that incident where Khrushchev dragged his nuts across Kennedy's forehead, but somehow to this day Kennedy is made out to be the hero in all this?

I knew one day she would, but I considered average life span to be 500 years and I assumed we would be better than average.
So no, I never dreamed we could be here in my lifetime.

I know what you are saying because I lived through all that too. However, we as a nation, are not nearly as strong and self-assured as we were back then. It's why I'm an ex-pat in retirement. Post 9-11 has been a "come to Jesus" era for me personally. Looking at things as they are instead of what I wish they were has been a total downer for me and a lot of other people I've run into since then, but it has saved my sanity, and maybe my life as well. I don't know a single American down here in CR that doesn't love his country, but almost universally, they hate what it has become. I'll leave it at that.

None of these ^^ events portended the current threat the American Marxists/Groomers present to this constitutional republic. Let me break this down in an easily digestible manner as to what's currently going on in this country.

The American Marxists have made a deal with their godless constituents. They have assured every faction of the Marxist/Progressive movement if you put us in charge of the federal and state governments we will subdue your critics, those who mock or shame your lifestyle or social behavior we will crush them but you must give us some things in return.

You must ultimately give us the power to restrict your freedom to assemble and to speak freely. You must surrender your right to bear arms to defend yourself and family. And the most important thing you must relinquish is the notion of a fair and equitable justice system. If you will agree to these terms .....then those of you who are not comfortable with past societal norms will be free to live your debauched lives without criticism or shame.

I’ve been a religious ‘fatalist’ for 50 years, believing that Biblical prophecy’end times’ was inevitable. Just didn’t know how or when. But the kind of evil stuff that far surpasses the relatively mild narcissism and materialistic culture of today’s culture is just shocking. I figured Evil to be far worse than I could or would want to imagine, but the kid stuff is just intolerable. We need a real ‘cleansing’, pretty quick. And will likely get it with no blame or credit going to God. We earn it, even though God always knew it was coming and told us so. Says a lot about God and us.

I watch a lot of MacArthur......he's about as solid as it gets for preaching, interpreting and sharing the Word. Check out David Pawson, he passed recently but he has a very good Bible series called "Unlocking the Bible" He does both the OT and NT and he's great.

NOT in my lifetime, no.

The day tKenyan was re-elected was THE day many of us knew "it" was coming. Though certainly NOT at this Warp Speed.

tControllers have been trying to tell us where we were going ('London Has Fallen'), and who we'd eventually deal with (see 'Aliens') in many not so veiled attempts conferred in (demonic) Movies themes, TV shows, advertising, Super Bowl halftime shows...

Finally they DID reveal tGameplan, when Klaus Schwab (and Bill Gates) came right out and told the World in broad daylight about their total "Reset" of Everything

Btw -- nice overview of tCluster & Mind-Frick Ops in any case. The runaway freight train went off the rails...and now we brace for impact over the cliff.

Our Faith is the one thing they can't steal from us. God still remains in control -- despite how things seem. Hold on tight, friends.

Johnny Mac...My guy as well.

Pastor John McArthur is considered the Dean of Evangelic preachers and sermons. He is an absolute rock and uncompromising stalwart of Biblical principles.

I highly recommend this man and his sermons (Grace To You) for inspiration, edification, and Christian / human wisdom.

Better question is how will this age group help get us out of this situation

We need to determine what age groups let it happen under their watch and what is going to be done to fix it. Ie...retirees need to spend their days getting this shite fixed.

Ie...there needs to be MAGA/AF retirees at every one of their local school board meetings taking notes and kicking arse. Getting on boards etc.
