Biden voter attempts to steal package from man's porch yesterday - man repels the Biden voter with a Bushmaster AR-15 (which Biden wants to ban --- now we know why)!

As it burns, people who can't see it can keep referencing the things they think they'll get back, but it won't change it. It's done. There's no will left to stop it.

Your Democracy is gone. Your united vision of the country is gone. Your freedoms have all been handed over because of a bad cold. How long do you think you'll be able to even put planes into the sky? Do you know how fragile that system is? It's almost gone now.

Good luck to you if your hope is here. You're in for a rough decade.

Who in your opinion are the globalists?

That's as big a stretch as the third wave feminist claim that it was written to keep women subservient (a reading so far from reality it would defy belief were people not so naturally stupid). I can see what you are implying in your language. Let me ask you a question: If the Bible prohibits sexual immorality, lies, and usury, how does it lend itself to what you think it does? Want your people to stop being corrupted? Convince them to stop being corrupt.

Globalists are the people who push the idea that all people and peoples are interchangeable. It sounds nice. It ends up with people being interchangeable meat puppets for the people who want to own them. If there's no difference between anyone and anywhere, why not destroy a community to move profits elsewhere? If everyone is the same, why not move a ton of people into an area and drive down wages? And if anyone argues against it, lie and say that they are evil for not accepting it.

You see these people in the Bible. They made the Tower of Babel. God broke them up for good reason.


Times were very different when the bible was written. Now, there's too many people on earth, and the majority aren't needed anymore. I'm not religious at all but I do think that the bible is a very good set of guidelines on how to live a productive life. And the gentiles are only there to serve and prosper to a certain level.

Now the church just follows whatever the woke agenda of the day is, and in many ways going against their own book. This is why I believe that christianity served a purpose, which is no longer needed by those pulling the strings.

I couldn't agree more with your description of how the globalists view the people. However, you didn't say who is behind globalism in your opinion.


The Church is woke?

That's not how this works. If I declare a criminal was a "Biden Voter" then you have to prove he wasn't and, even if you prove he wasn't, then I can respond by saying "in general, Biden voters are criminals, ergo this was thematically accurate." That's Gym's Capitol Riot Rules. The Left doesn't have a monopoly on Truth by Decree.

Most churches have become woke. Right now, the denomination I grew up in (United Church of Canada) has an ordained atheist minister who publishes books on her atheism. The Catholic Church, meanwhile, is being run by Pope Saruman. Ask yourself, if you were an ancient, malevolent being of unimaginable cunning, who saw The Church as your greatest threat, and you couldn't seem to kill it, what would you do? It's obvious. It's obvious it's not the first time too.

I think I know who you think is behind globalism. I think you're down too many levels. You're at underlings. Again, given who you think it is, where would the power to corrupt come from if the people were too moral for things like usury and lies?

I assume Canada is in worse shape. It's worse than the U.S. on every level. It doesn't even have political parties with the 3% difference yours have. It hasn't had a functioning democracy possibly ever. What's more, I hope it falls before the U.S. It'd certainly make it better for me. You know, being a Newfoundland Nationalist who hates Canada and the fact that they stole my country.

What did? The world ended? We had the worst economic decade 2010-2020 since the great depression? The Dow topped out around 14,000 before the 08 crash, when it dropped to around 6.5k...it's over 31.5k now.

With its millions of doe-eyed, slavish readers lapping up every word, the New York Times published - without stop, for a month - ridiculously false information in an effort to whip up the country into complete hysteria. Operating as an essential extension of the Biden campaign team, the NYT did not publish a mere error that was later corrected, but blitzed out an actual work of cut-from-cloth fiction that was reprinted - multiple times each week - for more than 30 days. This false information was then entered, as sworn testimony, by Rat congressmen in their Kangaroo Court at the Senate.

As told by Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald ...

The False and Exaggerated Claims Still Being Spread About the Capitol Riot

One of the most significant of these falsehoods was the tale — endorsed over and over without any caveats by the media for more than a month — that Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick was murdered by the pro-Trump mob when they beat him to death with a fire extinguisher. That claim was first published by The New York Times on January 8 in an article headlined “Capitol Police Officer Dies From Injuries in Pro-Trump Rampage.” It cited “two [anonymous] law enforcement officials” to claim that Sicknick died “with the mob rampaging through the halls of Congress” and after he “was struck with a fire extinguisher.”

A second New York Times article from later that day — bearing the more dramatic headline: “He Dreamed of Being a Police Officer, Then Was Killed by a Pro-Trump Mob” — elaborated on that story:

After publication of these two articles, this horrifying story about a pro-Trump mob beating a police officer to death with a fire extinguisher was repeated over and over, by multiple journalists on television, in print, and on social media. It became arguably the single most-emphasized and known story of this event, and understandably so — it was a savage and barbaric act that resulted in the harrowing killing by a pro-Trump mob of a young Capitol police officer.

It took on such importance for a clear reason: Sicknick’s death was the only example the media had of the pro-Trump mob deliberately killing anyone. In a January 11 article detailing the five people who died on the day of the Capitol protest, the New York Times again told the Sicknick story: “Law enforcement officials said he had been ‘physically engaging with protesters’ and was struck in the head with a fire extinguisher.”

This is why the fire extinguisher story became so vital to those intent on depicting these events in the most violent and menacing light possible. Without Sicknick having his skull bashed in with a fire extinguisher, there were no deaths that day that could be attributed to deliberate violence by pro-Trump protesters.

After the media bombarded Americans with this story for a full month without pause, it took center stage at Trump’s impeachment process. As former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy noted, the article of impeachment itself stated that “Trump supporters ‘injured and killed law enforcement personnel.’” The House impeachment managers explicitly claimed on page 28 of their pretrial memorandum that “the insurrectionists killed a Capitol Police officer by striking him in the head with a fire extinguisher.”

Once the impeachment trial ended in an acquittal, President Joe Biden issued a statement and referenced this claim in the very first paragraph. Sicknick, said the President, lost “his life while protecting the Capitol from a violent, riotous mob on January 6, 2021.”

The problem with this story is that it is false in all respects. From the start, there was almost no evidence to substantiate it. The only basis were the two original New York Times articles asserting that this happened based on the claim of anonymous law enforcement officials.

Despite this alleged brutal murder taking place in one of the most surveilled buildings on the planet, filled that day with hundreds of cellphones taping the events, nobody saw video of it. No photographs depicted it. To this day, no autopsy report has been released. No details from any official source have been provided.

Not only was there no reason to believe this happened from the start, the little that was known should have caused doubt. On the same day the Times published its two articles with the “fire extinguisher” story, ProPublica published one that should have raised serious doubts about it.

The outlet interviewed Sicknick’s brother, who said that “Sicknick had texted [the family] Wednesday night to say that while he had been pepper-sprayed, he was in good spirits.” That obviously conflicted with the Times’ story that the mob “overpowered Sicknick” and “struck him in the head with a fire extinguisher,” after which, “with a bloody gash in his head, Mr. Sicknick was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support.”

Are you referring to Occupy Democrats, which the Biden campaign team paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to push-out lies that would whip-up its doe-eyed, slavish readers into a pro-Biden frenzy?

    The Asan Institute for Policy Studies has said that Occupy Democrats "share[s] both real and fake news ... further blurring the line between fact and fiction".[3]

    According to the University of Iowa library, Occupy Democrats "has been know to show misleading, fake, or exaggerated partisan content".[4]The Valencia College library includes Occupy Democrats on a list of sources that "cannot usually be accepted at face value and need further verification from other sources to determine if information is credible".[23] In a 2017 poster session developed by the library staff of the University of California at Merced, Occupy Democrats was rated "questionable" for its factual reporting and was noted for not having "a very good fact check record".[24]

    According to The Atlantic, Occupy Democrats' posts are "studded with straightforwardly fake news".[2] The Los Angeles Weekly reports that its posts are "free from the constraints of objectivity and, in some cases, facts".[1] A 2016 Buzzfeed News analysis found it was "the least accurate left-wing page" of several Facebook pages it reviewed and cited one instance where it published a satirical story as fact.[25] In the run-up to the 2020 U.S. presidential election, the New York Times reported that Occupy Democrats "twisted facts to push a critical narrative about Republicans".[26]

    As of December 2020, PolitiFact classified 62% of 16 posts shared by Occupy Democrats it had evaluated as "not accurate".[28] A further 31% it considered "half-true".[28]

So far the "leftists" here have claimed the world is fine as long as they can fly first class, despite airport losses piling up, especially in small centres (https://www.thetelegram.com/business/lo ... es-546315/), the economy must be great if stocks are up, despite losses for small business (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/03/nyre ... virus.html), and it is extreme to point out that WalMart and Amazon doing well at the expense of small businesses is wrong (https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeikleb ... ebf8a41376).

Typical fake concern for the little guy, but support for the big guys from leftists who are actually elitists or brainwashed to think they are.

For your sake, I linked all "mainstream" stories I found in three seconds of googling. I don't read "extremist" sites or watch any news. Right now I am reading "City of God" by St. Augustine and "The Cambridge Medieval History." Then I talk to people in the real world. I catch the news update that comes on the radio between songs. It's pretty easy to figure it out if you can still think.

I guess believing in America not becoming a failed state this decade makes me a leftist now?

You don't travel, you don't read the news, you believe Canada and the USA would be better off as fundamentalist christian societies and 'growth' in the economy is bad for a countries citizens... but you also know what it's like living in america even though you don't live here, because you talk to people in 'the real world' (who presumably live near you and not in the USA).

Listen, we're not going to agree here. You go on believing it's going to be fine. I'll go on believing we're obviously in the age of decadence before the fall of empire. We'll see who's right. I'll tell you this, if I was you, I'd watch what happens to WalMart and Amazon, then compare that to the level of freedom in your own life and area. You might notice some interesting trends over time.

It did. It's been running on debt ever since. It never did recover. Nothing that was wrong got fixed. Without Covid to hide behind, that'd be obvious. "Luckily" the obvious and long called for depression gets blamed on a pandemic, and people go out less, travel less, and take government handouts. Meanwhile, half the small, local businesses close to help WalMart and Amazon keep chugging along on "growth." You can't see it because you don't want to look.


What did? The world ended? We had the worst economic decade 2010-2020 since the great depression? The Dow topped out around 14,000 before the 08 crash, when it dropped to around 6.5k...it's over 31.5k now.

How will the US ever recover our losses?


So far the "leftists" here have claimed the world is fine as long as they can fly first class, despite airport losses piling up, especially in small centres (https://www.thetelegram.com/business/lo ... es-546315/), the economy must be great if stocks are up, despite losses for small business (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/03/nyre ... virus.html), and it is extreme to point out that WalMart and Amazon doing well at the expense of small businesses is wrong (https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeikleb ... ebf8a41376).

Typical fake concern for the little guy, but support for the big guys from leftists who are actually elitists or brainwashed to think they are.

For your sake, I linked all "mainstream" stories I found in three seconds of googling. I don't read "extremist" sites or watch any news. Right now I am reading "City of God" by St. Augustine and "The Cambridge Medieval History." Then I talk to people in the real world. I catch the news update that comes on the radio between songs. It's pretty easy to figure it out if you can still think.


I guess believing in America not becoming a failed state this decade makes me a leftist now?

Agree, we're not going to agree here. You go on living in fear like chicken little. I'll go on believing that pre-pandemic small business boomed for about a decade, a time period which you claimed america never recovered from. We will see who's right. If I was you I'd expand you horizons a bit, and stop assuming americans are losing all their rights just because some of us agree to wear masks for a while in busy public places so we don't kill our own parents by passing along a brand new virus that is highly contagious and humanity has no natural immunity to yet.

This false information was then entered, as sworn testimony, by Rat congressmen in their Kangaroo Court at the Senate.

As told by Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald ...



I’m guessing Greenwood was fired by the NYT?


You don't know who Glenn Greenwald is?

I guess that means you're either a Biden voter or a middle school girl.

Question - since low information voters is how we get intellectual dwarves like Biden as president, should LIVs be allowed to vote at all?

I won't bother demonstrating how obviously the first and second parts of your paragraph contradict each other so beautifully. People who need it explained won't get it.

I will, however, have to take issue with the idea I live in fear. I, myself, was a Godless atheist for over 15 years. A well thought out, militant, Richard Dawkins loving uber-atheist. So I know how you can make the mistake you just made. I made it all the time. You see, none of this scares me. I don't live in any kind of fear. If I die tomorrow or live to 100, big whoop. It's all fractions of eternity. I'm here forever. I will one day watch the sun burn out. The fall of the empire of the west is going to be sort of a silly little thing that happened a long, long, long time ago. It scares me exactly none.

You can wait forever if you want, I only have to wait 10 years to prove your prediction wrong.

CHAOS at the border ... even Rat mayors are imploring Biden to uphold the rule of law and stop flooding the U.S. with illegal aliens. But Biden will offer no breather, even with COVID-19 infections skyrocketing to record highs and large sections of the U.S. on the verge of collapse due to natural disaster.

Number of Immigrants Illegally Crossing U.S. Border Rises to Pre-Covid-19 Levels

On Wednesday, [Democrat] Del Rio Mayor Bruno Lozano posted a video on YouTube asking President Biden to temporarily halt the release of migrants in the city due to the crisis caused by cold weather and power shutoffs in Texas.

A total breakdown of law and order. This is not normal.
