@O8rien_@iamveektoria_@growthinweb3 👍 Had a logging company with long hard hours. Training crew to work slower (for equipment and safety sake) and make every move count required a change in thinking individually, and as a crew. Water doesn’t rise above its own level.
Again, NED is funded entirely by U.S. taxpayers and overseen by members of Congress. NED is publishing material that questions universal suffrage, defends anti-democratic structures, and openly promotes the idea that voters are too dangerous to be trusted with power.
Why hasn't NED and all its organizations been defunded, dismantled, and scattered to the wind already?
How long are we going to bankroll an institution that sees the American people as the threat?
I met an Iranian gentleman in Dubai tonight. He told me:
“Thank you for supporting our people. Please know that we appreciate it. Your videos go viral among us”.
Here is what I told him, and what I want to tell the Iranian people:
“I love your people because you have a great heritage and deserve a better future in the Middle East. I love Iranians because when you receive love, you return it tenfold. I love Iranians because you are an ancient people with a magnificent culture, beautiful music, and, of course, incredible food.
And Inshallah, one day we will celebrate together in a free Iran.”
My battle for peace has never been against any people.
It is against dangerous ideologies and extremist movements, the Muslim Brotherhood, the IRGC, Hamas, and all those who glorify death and seek to divide God’s creation.
Extremism in all its forms must be rejected.
The honorable and decent people of the Middle East, Muslims, Jews, Christians, and people of different faiths, want to thrive, prosper, and make our Middle East the greatest place on Earth.
The enemies of peace want to turn it into a place of hatred, destruction, and anarchy.
But we will prevail, with the help of God.
And I pray that Iran will be free, and that the descendants of Cyrus will join hands with the children of Isaac and Ishmael.
It is a noble battle worth fighting, with all our souls, with all our hearts, and with all our might.
God bless the people of Iran. 🇮🇷♥️
The Missing Middle
Look at the shape of it. Two of the most prominent men alive at the top. Tens of thousands of ordinary readers at the base. And between them – almost no one reposting those texts of mine. A complete void where a society’s connective tissue is supposed to be.
That shape is the diagnosis. A healthy civilization has a middle: editors, professors, ministers, mayors, entrepreneurs, priests, columnists, heads of institutions – thousands of people with names, standing, and something to lose, who say what they think out loud. That layer is what carries an idea from the top of a society into its ordinary life. Take it away and nothing moves. The two men at the top can amplify an argument to millions and it still won’t reach a single classroom, ministry, or editorial board, because there’s no one in between willing to carry it the last mile.
Why is the middle empty? Because the middle is precisely where the système has leverage. Musk and Milei can’t be removed by the people they contradict. The reader with 200 followers is too small to be worth removing. But everyone in between – the associate professor, the deputy editor, the mid-sized business owner, the local politician – is exactly the person who can be punished cheaply and effectively. One phone call. One HR complaint. One withdrawn contract. So the middle went quiet, and then went into internal emigration, and now stands empty.
This is what the long march actually produced. Not a population that believes things – a population that has learned which sentences cost money. The captured institutions don’t need to convince the middle of anything. They just need to keep the price high enough that the middle stays silent, and let the silence look like consensus.
And notice what the void does to both ends. It leaves the top isolated – a handful of men carrying an entire civilizational argument on their own reach, which is exactly the concentration of risk I keep writing about. And it leaves the base atomized – tens of thousands of people who each believe they are alone, because the only people confirming their view are two billionaires on another continent.
So the void is the task. Not another platform, not another argument – the middle itself: people with names and positions who say true things at a survivable cost, publicly, in their own countries, in their own fields. Every one of them makes the next one cheaper. That’s the whole mechanism of the counter-march, and it’s why the counter-march is a staffing problem rather than a persuasion problem.
The top is filled. The base is enormous and growing. What’s missing is the layer that turns an argument into a country.
Fill the middle. That’s the job – and unlike almost everything else in this fight, it doesn’t require permission, funding, or genius. It requires a few thousand people deciding, one at a time, that the price of speaking is lower than the price of the silence they’ve been keeping.
America's fertility problem is almost entirely an abortion problem
It is not that American women are not having children
It is that they are killing those children instead of letting them live
In the wild, when predators sense that an animal is weak, they start circling. Prodding the poor creature to see when it’s the right time to move in for the kill. That’s exactly what’s happening with Britain right now. She’s weak, dying and the vultures are circling. Slave trade reparations, Chagos island payout, Falkland island’s give away, Gibraltar give away, foreigners controlling so many councils, foreign aid give aways, British haters in the House of Lords. They can smell weakness and soon the death of Britain and they’re all positioned perfectly to feast on the carcass.
@JunkScience Agreed. Navigable means commercial traffic (WOTUS). Why punish those that created the habitat for other purposes on private property? (Eg Stock ponds)
Marc Elias and Norm Eisen can stand before millions of people and describe the operation step by step... manufacture the narrative, amplify it through allied media, convert the headlines into congressional pressure, turn that pressure into litigation, and use the litigation to generate another round of headlines.
The lawsuits, leaks, political messaging, activist campaigns, and media coverage then appear almost simultaneously, each supposedly confirming the others.
They do not even bother concealing the machinery anymore. They publicly explain how litigation, political officials, advocacy organizations, and the press can be assembled into a single pressure campaign, then trust that the media will present the resulting narrative as spontaneous and independent.
Norm Eisen even writes a guide on how to steal elections in democracies and suggests foreign countries use it against the United States.
Yet there are no subpoenas, no serious investigations, and virtually no scrutiny of the funding, communications, or coordination behind it.
Fabricated claims, whistleblower theater, and an infinite supply of “people familiar with the matter” until the public is too exhausted to care.
Norm Eisen and Marc Elias are the most vile, evil, and obviously corrupt men to walk this earth.
Enjoyed a great day at the 105th Elko County Fair and Horse Races.
There’s nothing quite like spending a Friday enjoying one of Nevada’s great traditions.
Thank you to everyone who welcomed Donna and me. We always love being back in Elko!
@Only1Trickster@Rach_IC Etch a Sketch brains. Every emotional trigger shakes it so new propaganda can be drawn. No ability to link or remember events over multiple years.
