The Empire’s New Clothes

“But he’s not wearing any clothes!” – a kid in the crowd

July 4, 2024

Good Morning Occupation Government, just add this to my dossier.

Bemusement was the only emotion that clicked for me in the buzz of the Great Debate Aftermath.  It reminded me of friends who used to banter over professional wrestling in the ‘80s.  Even though they *knew* the WWF matches were scripted, that didn’t stop the arguments or emotional involvement.  The whole Kabuki show was obviously fake, but they just couldn’t suspend the illusion, and I suppose neither can today’s personalities.

Those of you who voted for the character of Biden may have had your blinders finally lifted on the man himself.  Hand on heart, we warned you that he was senile (or at least acting so) in 2020.  That he was being prompted by his handlers when to sit, what to say, where to go, and when to “salute the Marine.”  But have you also realized it is not only our Emperor who has no clothes, but the whole American Empire?  By my reckoning the nostalgic America we knew died sometime around 2000 in a flurry of hanging chads.

Here is why: the US Government is fake.

Mere hyperbole?  In alt-America nothing is as it seems, and the government is operating under false pretense.  Each of its three branches are already infiltrated or compromised.  The Judicial branch avoided action to protect 2020 election, and its’ most crucial senior members are beholden to foreign interests and/or blackmail.  The Legislative branch may be the most compromised body of representatives ever assembled… working feverishly to suppress truth, to promote illegal immigration & voting, to investigate Americans for wrong-think, and to punish you for defying the State.

The take-down of the Executive branch makes the trifecta, but it is far worse than a senile president.  We had already elected a fake citizen who enjoyed two terms, never forget.  Incumbent hacks in both the intelligence community and Congress successfully waged a years-long investigation against another President based on faked information.  But don’t call it a witch-hunt.  The current White House occupant has had kickbacks going with China and Ukraine since he was VP, and won his presidency with fake votes.

You cannot have foreigners and unaccountable elites running the game remotely, and still call it a legitimate show.  Get this fact through your skulls and let it marinate.

The majority don’t want to see or discuss such things, because it means most of the laws and executive orders enacted since 2008 would be null and void.  Talk about a Constitutional Crisis…  It could mean inevitable civil war, so we better just pretend it is not happening.  The Occupation Government in Washington still controls all of the apparatus, and retains all of its coercive powers.  But it no longer does so by the will of the American people.

The US Government has thus become our oppressor, existing only to further its own ambitions.  It is actively hostile to freedom and truth, leaving us only a few options:

We might (1) hope for reprieve from the Military, who at least can be counted on by law to uphold the Constitution and protect the citizens of the United States – unless they were complicit in the coup.  Understand, today’s Pentagon is the very embodiment of what Dwight Eisenhower warned us about. A cadre of Generals are beating the war drum right now to push us into confrontation with Russia, Russia, Russia.  Insanity.

We might (2) hold out hope for a Trump victory in November.  But be realistic, since we are Seeing Things as They Are:  Could Trump actually ‘drain the swamp’ this time, or repeal the Patriot Act, or disband the CIA?  Would he pardon Snowden, or ship illegals back across the border?  Would he pull out of the WHO a second time, or was that just a canard?  I know I know, GITMO was expanded to hold all of the world’s elite prisoners, and we are just waiting on the arrests.  I expect none of those things to actually happen.

A Trump 2.0 presidency would only slow the advancement toward totalitarianism by a little bit.  So if we do not rebuild the entire system from scratch, then what use is tapping the brakes?  Maybe a lot of you would like living in a Freedom City, or trading-up levels to a protected security state as long as you kept a few freedoms.  You can pretend you are living out Logan’s Run, or Gattaca, while Trump endorses the next vaccine.  But for me, and many others, status-quo is already intolerable.

We might (3) try for a Convention of States as a last-ditch means of restoring the Republic, recognizing it as a unique process that is outlined in the Constitution.  This legitimate method is organized by the States, keeps the system of government intact, and Congress is powerless to stop it.  We could expect the Occupation Government to fight it tooth and nail, and thrash around like a wounded bear.

We might (4) consider a Constitutional Convention, or a breakup / Balkanization of the country, or outright Civil War, each of these being progressively messier and ending the USA as we know it.  We would have a different country when it was over — which sucks I know, but is still better than continuing on a path toward enslavement.  Better get ahead of that curve by learning how to adapt to whatever is coming. 


That is the way things are on this Independence Day, friends. America needs a Convention of States.  The system will not fix itself, nor will rushing to the polls in November.  You must look at deeper solutions, even painful solutions. I don’t know why no one else is telling you this, but I hope you’ll get ready. Mentally, Phsyically, Spiritually.

So Happy 4th of July, Readers, from across the waves. Grill a hot dog for me and crack open a Rolling Rock.

Peace be upon you in Christ

America needs a Convention of States so the same criminal cartel controlling the Clown World train wreck masquerading as a Representative Democracy can re-write the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights, because these ZioTard Clowns are not as incorrigible corrupt as the BolshiTard Clowns. These are the same people that have done such a great jobs securing our borders…Trust the plan….reeee

Show me a single state where Constitutionalists comprise a majority of the state legislature.

At this point in history, an Article V Convention of the States would be a disaster.

Don’t confuse Constitutional Convention with a Convention of States. Con-con is the dangerous one. Convention of States maintains the Constitution while proposing new amendments.

Wrong. The Constitution, including Article V, is written in English.

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

 “But have you also realized it is not only our Emperor who has no clothes, but the whole American Empire?”

There is no American Empire. It is all totally foreign controlled and has been since at least the rotten-toothed puppet POS Wilson and how long is it going to take for the normie voting base to wake up to the fact that good ‘ole Ike was running political coups and assassinations all over the globe, but ” beware of the MIC”, he says … He’s still laughing in hell, along with Roosevelt and Churchill, I’m sure.

“According to Yoni Tobin, an analyst for the hawkish think tank Jewish Institute for National Security of America, which has ties to Israel’s government and military, the Iran-backed terror group launched at least 130 suicide drones at Israel in June. Since the war began, the group launched 390 drones at Israel. The outbreak started in October of last year. 

Tobin ended the note, explaining, “The United States should expeditiously provide Israel with all weapons systems, including Iron Dome kinetic interceptors and newer-model Apache combat helicopters, needed to intercept incoming Hezbollah drones.”

” The Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), formerly named the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs,[2] is a Washington, D.C.-based, non-profit and think tank.[3][4]
HistoryJINSA was founded in 1976, 3 years after the Yom Kippur War.[5] JINSA’s founding, according to Jason Vest, writing in The Nation, was prompted by “neoconservatives concerned that the United States might not be able to provide Israel with adequate military supplies in the event of another Arab-Israeli war.”[6]
JINSA since expanded its portfolio to cover not only Israel-U.S. relations, but general American national security policy as well.[7]

THE EMPEROR/EMPIRE WAS CREATED BY VERY
ARROGANT EGOTISTIC PSYCHOPATHIC PEOPLE WHO FORGOT “WHERE” THEY CAME FROM…AND BECAME VERY “BARBARIC” INSTEAD OF BEING “CIVILIZED” PEOPLE.
IT WAS THE “ICE AGE” THAT HELP CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN BETWEEN “HUMANITY”.
IT WAS THE “HELLENIST” WHO BROUGHT “HELL-ON-EARTH” HERE FOLKS!
THEY ARE THE “FOUNDERS OF EMPIRES”…HUMANITY NEVER NEEDED THEM, BECAUSE THEY LIVED VIA “MA-AT'”…JUST LIKE “‘FAMILIES” DO!

I don’t get his point, but I think he always uses Hellenist and Hellenistic. Which means not the actual Greeks, which would be Hellenes and Hellenic. By the end of the Hellenistic period there were basically a bunch of jews, sandniggers, swarthy people, and slaves running around with Greek names.

“We had already elected a fake citizen who enjoyed two terms, never forget.”

What, do you have a mouse in your pocket? I did no such thing, sir or madam (I don’t want to offend thee). You need to wash your mouth… uhhh… hands out with water for typing such drivel. 

PS: I know what you meant; calm down. Just a little humor on my part.  

I don’t know if a Convention of the States would work at this point. The blue and red states are so diametrically opposed in the idea of the role of government that I think a separation would be best. I just hope it can be done without bloodshed, i.e., a civil war.

Who knows? All the red states exit the union, join BRICS, and let the blue states hold onto the moniker of the U.S.A. 

It was fun while it lasted, but like all good things, it will come to an end one day.

To me the C.o.S. is the only shot we have, but it’s slim. As you say, how to get enough states to agree, and then ratify? The true blue states would want to split off, and then it would devolve back to a constitutional convention. None of the options are great, just less bad.

is still better than continuing on a path toward enslavement

Enslavement has been complete around the end of the 19th century. It seems that enslavement is merely a natural order for humans – the absolute majority of us are too stupid for self-governing, or, more precisely, are too stupid for effectively countering the dedicated sociopaths among us who are hell-bend on control.

Happy 4th. The freedom was good while it lasted.

You could do a series.
Next suggested topic: “The Empire’s New Weapon”

This is where you expose that nukes are a faked theatrical diversion so they could teach people to allow them to inject serums into them and their children.
That they gained your trust was the reason they broke it.
Why?
Because people shouldn’t trust a for profit corporation who will only manufacture a product unless they have no liability for those killed or injured by their products.

They warned you for hundreds of years not to trust them while simultaneously saying “Trust us. We’re the experts.”
