Who Gets to Decide?

Marxist / Socialist ideas and thinking have been on the rise in America for decades. For at least half of the country this has been puzzling. People will say to me, "It always seems that we are losing ground to the extreme left." How did we get here and how do we push back. You always must first accurately identify the problem before a solution can be worked out. Tom DiLorenzo has not only studied these things for years, he also worked side-by-side with all of the culprits.Mises Circle - Dallas, Texas 2015 - Tom DiLorenzohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS3ttzqTBqA

Active Measures, as detailed by Yuri Bezmenov have been moving Americans toward Marxism for many decades. American have been subjected to this PsyOpp and most have absolutely no idea that has happened or that their thinking has been changed by it.

People are blaming Candace Owens for causing the Republican Party to splinter, risking positive election results for the Rep party. But isn't really Trump's mishandling of all of these hot issues that help to get him elected. That seems to be the thing that rings true in this situation.

Candace Owens has been relentless in asking questions about the murder of her friend, Charlie Kirk.  The more she investigates the louder establishment Republicans screamand yell about how they need to get back to the business of the people and focus on winning the midterms.  Who the hell cares about the midterms?  Americans are not in control of their government.Candace Owen Show – Comments on TPUSA Authenticity andTim Pool’s Concern about the Midtermshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAuuSq_j2_wFox Live Now – Report on Shooting at Tim Pool’s Househttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sof3ZkPz3W0

Is America of, for and by the people like we all learned in 8th grade history, or is it something very different? The existence of the Epstein Files say that the latter is more likely.

It’s looking more-and-more like that Charlie Kirk’s assassination was a little more than an lone, troubled transsexual.  In fact, it’s looking like an international OPP involving intelligence groups from at least two governments and possibly three.  Baron Coleman and Ian Carroll reveal some unbelievable coincident facts that, on their own, could be explained away, but taken as whole make it very difficult to believe in the long gunman.Ian Carroll’s bombshell Timeline based on Baron Coleman’sInternet Search Analysis - https://rumble.com/v70uvlm-new-ian-carroll-google-searches-the-day-before-for-kirk-assassination-tyler.html?e9s=src_v1_s%2Csrc_v1_s_o&sci=562b9a4d-9c70-45e9-a7af-b3a85468d273 Baron Coleman’s Internet Google Search Investigation -https://rumble.com/v70v7l2-chalie-kirks-chief-of-staff-at-tpusa-knows-something-he-isnt-telling-us.html?e9s=src_v1_s%2Csrc_v1_s_o&sci=399236c5-9185-4af3-81ec-4e3735217c78

Lawmakers encourage military and intelligence workers to not carry out unlawful orders given by President Trump. This is easier said than done given the way in which the government enforces its own laws. Defending yourself in the face of the full weight of the Federal government can be an almost impossible task.

The Epstein Files are being released with overwhelmingsupport in the House of Representative. With a vote of 427 to 1, no amendments could be offered and no objections could be made.  It seems that public support is to overwhelming to ignore, even the President could not stop it.  A victory for the people, albeit small.ABC News ' Amy Robach on Hot Mic in 2018 Lamenting that She Had the Storyhttps://x.com/bennyjohnson/status/1990885184586010853?s=20Thomas Massie (R-KY) Fielding Questions from Reports Regarding the Epstein Files https://x.com/allenanalysis/status/1990640928667693059?s=20ABC News Coverage of House Vote and Victims Rally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfWNckBV6aA

At this point, it's obvious that there is some "GLOBAL" agenda to subjugate Western Civilization and it citizens in a very oppressive way at some point in the future. All the new technology around AI, communication, and finance seems to be converging in this direction. We could spend a lot of time talking about why this is happening or we could spend our time trying to understand the mechanisms that allow this behavior to happen in the first place, and then remove these levers from institutions. I'm for inquiry into the latter. The dual linchpin mechanism is 1) Fiat money and 2) The ability for interest groups to direct government force on behalf of a very small minority. If you could change these two things America's business as usual in with our elites would stop overnight"AGENDA" - New Documentary https://x.com/Martyupnorth_2/status/1987933394052018233?s=20Milton Friedman Q&A from 1977https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1987616973354840367?s=20

People are tired of the "War Party", which by definition is the establishment Democrats and the establishment Republicans, or just the establishment. They are desperately trying to drive out the REAL America First crowd by neutralizing their voices from independent media. I don't think it will work but boy that is not keeping them from trying. Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens are being labeled as the enemy, un-American, and not America First. Nick Fuentes is being called a Nazi, Jew Hating, racist. The establishment right has turned into the left.

Why do voters (in Blue cities) fall for politicians peddling FREE stuff? Haven't we seen this playbook thousands of times at this point? Fiat money is nearly FREE but the REAL resources that politicians use to purchase these resource are absolutely NOT FREE. This is especially challenging for levels of government that cannot access the printing press because they have to steal it from somebody. Mamdani has his eyes set on "the rich".

Many Americans and politicians look at China's vast productive capacity and believe that we just need to model it and all we be good.

Should childcare be FREE in America? Should anything be free in America? How would we balance our liberty and freedom with the force it would take to make some things free?

Those Americans on SNAP benefits are getting a little ittitated that taxpayers have lost thier enthusiam for carrying the burden of supplying food to their families. It's amazing that so few Americans are just learning about this practice and many of them are shocked about the numbers.

It's generally agreed that the American form of government led to the largest explosion of prosperity in the history of the world. Lately, however, it seems to be leading to a decline in prosperity.

Is Edward Snowden a Patriot or a Traitor? The answer to this question depends a lot on who you ask. However, everyone's answer seems to fall into one bucket or the other.

I hate to say it, but I always knew that the Affordable Care Act was never going to FIX the healthcare system in America. It was crony-capitalism right out of the chute and the American middle class got left holding the bag! Liberty, property and free markets are the cornerstone of the American experiment. Abandoning these principles doesn't lead to more prosperity, it leads to less. I never really understood the concept of trying to evade reality. Reality exists and attempting to evade it just leads to great problems down the road. We all know this but when it comes to government, we somehow imagine that evading reality collectively will make a difference. Well, it simply does not.Essay "The Law" by Frederic Bastiathttps://mises.org/library/book/lawThe Affordable Care Act Notes🧩 Opening Framing• The ACA began with a promise: coverage, affordability, and reform — but 15 years later, those promises remain largely unfulfilled.• Politicians now ask for more subsidies, insurance companies want more money, and the public faces higher premiums and thinner coverage.🔥 Broken Promises & Structural Failures• “If you like your plan, you can keep it” — Millions lost coverage or saw their plans gutted. This wasn’t a glitch; it was a structural failure.• Premiums will drop by $2,500 per family — Instead, premiums soared for the unsubsidized. Middle-class families absorbed the cost.• Universal coverage — Still over 25 million uninsured, and 90 million functionally uninsured due to sky-high deductibles.• Preexisting condition protections — Only applied to ~5–10% of the population. Most already had coverage through Medicare, Medicaid, or employer plans.• Essential health benefits — Translated to loss of affordable, lean coverage. No more skinny plans. No more choice.💸 Middle-Class Squeeze• Subsidies didn’t make coverage affordable — they masked rising costs and shifted the burden to the middle class.• No warning, no cushion — just a trap door for middle-income Americans.🏥 Medicaid & Employer Fallout• Medicaid expansion was optional — many states opted out, leaving millions without coverage or subsidies.• Employer mandate backfired — companies cut hours, froze hiring, and pushed full-time workers into part-time status.💻 Tech Failures & Deficit Myths• Healthcare.gov was promised to be seamless — it crashed on launch, cost billions, and enriched insiders.• Deficit reduction never materialized — subsidy costs exploded, and creative accounting masked the reality.🧠 Systemic Critique• ACA papered over a broken system without fixing the root causes: bad incentives, entrenched bureaucracy, and insurance complexity.• Promises were sold, but never delivered — the middle class lost, while bureaucracy and financial interests won.

Listening to Kash Patel just deflect and obfuscate questions in order to obscure the TRUTH is infuriating. When he and Devin Nunez took on the deep state for the illegal activity perpetrated on Trump during his first administration, he appeared to be a real warrior for truth. However, now that the truth is inconvenient for both side of the aisle, he has turned into the very person that he was fighting against during the first Trump Administration.Thomas Massie Questioning Kash Patel During House Judiciary Hearinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe4fWW0P5koDonald Trump Talking about Epstein in 2015 Presidential Racehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfvxcAjIpMsYou can't find much of anything on YouTube where Donald Trump is talking about Epstein that is more than 3 months old.
