Without the news, TV, internet, radio commentators, or any of the Lügenpresse, what would you know about the state of our nation today? If you cut out all the partisan voices pulling you this way and that and simply looked around you, what would you see? Let’s conduct this thought experiment together.

Every time I get in my car and travel, I realize I don’t have a full tank of gas. Why? I rarely fill up because it is so expensive to fill up my tank. Four years ago, it was far cheaper. In fact, I never thought I would see the prices dip below $2 a gallon again in my lifetime, yet that’s what they were four years ago. Today, where I live, it is about $4 a gallon. I don’t need the news to give me an explanation; I can see the worsening state of the economy every time I fill up gas at the pump.

Every time I buy groceries, my eyes grow wider and wider with each item scanned. Grocery prices are far higher today than they were four years ago; there’s not even a reasonable comparison. In some places, there is a smaller supply of items, and everywhere I have traveled and been, prices are higher. And heaven forbid you want to eat out at a restaurant; you have to take out a second mortgage on your home to afford it!

Speaking of homes, housing prices are obscene. This is where I personally see the most egregious price hike. In years past, I barely paid half of what I’m paying today for rent. Granted, I live in a fairly expensive area; but just a few years ago, as all the locals have told me, prices were at least two times cheaper than they are now. I’m paying 50% of my monthly salary to rent, not counting utilities. Most experts say that you should never expend more than 30% of your paycheck on rent.

Like most Americans, I’m living paycheck to paycheck. In fact, I’m not even living paycheck to paycheck; I’m financing much of what I buy with credit cards. I haven’t saved one penny in the past several years – especially the past year. At the same time, my debt has grown. And this is incredible to me seeing as my paycheck is more than three times higher this year than it was the past three years, and, yet, I’m more financially strapped now than ever. And, lest anyone think so, it’s not because I manage my finances so terribly; it’s simply that there’s nothing to manage after I pay my bills, sell my kidney to pay rent, and buy simple food to eat!

I have traveled abroad a number of times over the past seven years because my wife is from Panama. We are currently waiting for the National Visa Center, which is taking their sweet time, to schedule her immigration interview so she can finally come to America. Apart from briefly Christmas time, I haven’t seen my wife and two little daughters in over nine months. I missed my fifth wedding anniversary and will miss my youngest daughter’s first birthday, which is a big deal in Latin America. At any rate, I have traveled abroad many times over the past seven years and have watched as prices have jumped up and up and up. I don’t even know if I will get to see my family this summer because I don’t know if I can afford a plane ticket. The sheer number of flight cancellations lately is also indicative of how miserable the economy and aviation industries are becoming.

Even without the news, I would be shocked if you didn’t know someone who has recently committed suicide. Starting in 2020 when Donald Trump shut down the United States and states illegally enforced horrific, unsanitary, illogical, pseudoscientific, unconstitutional, and tyrannical medical dictates upon us, suicides have risen dramatically. It is an epidemic few people dare speak about; adding insult to injury to the victims and their families. Suicide numbers will only increase as world conditions – especially economic conditions – deteriorate.

I would also be skeptical of anyone who says they don’t know someone who is in the grip of drug addiction or who has died from drugs or at the hands of someone on drugs or alcohol. Over 100,000 Americans each year are perishing from fentanyl overdoses. Fentanyl is produced almost exclusively in communist China and is being deliberately used as a tool to weaken America from within, just as the West once used opium to weaken China from within. During the Cold War, Soviet Russia gained control of a large percentage of the illicit drug trade in America and, as China today, used it as a tool to weaken us morally, economically, and in other ways. Donald Trump has said that he might sent special forces to assassinate drug cartels if reelected – a policy I have advocated for many years. It is hardly fentanyl alone that is wreaking havoc on America, but everything from marijuana to prescription drugs.

Regarding the medical establishment, it is only a matter of time before everyone knows someone who has fallen victim to the genocidal Coronahoax vaccine. Vaccines are tools of the Devil. Period. Satanism in a syringe. The record of their destruction on humanity is so well-documented that I question the intelligence or integrity of anyone who claims to be informed on the subject and thinks they’re good, sane, safe, and effective. They have never been safe and effective and have never worked. Books such as Eleanor McBean’s The Poisoned Needle: Suppressed Facts About Vaccinations, Dr. Suzanne Humphries’ Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and The Forgotten History, Dr. Coleman Vernon’s Vaccines Are Dangerous – And Don’t Work, Lou Conte’s Vaccine Injuries: Documented Adverse Reactions to Vaccines, Alfred R. Wallace’s Vaccination Proved Useless and Dangerous, Dr. William P. Trebing’s Good-Bye Germ Theory: Ending a Century of Medical Fraud, Dr. Jack E. Stockwell’s Vaccinations: How Vaccines Wreck Human Immunity, Robert E. Kennedy, Jr.’s Vax-Unvax: Let the Science Speak, James M. Peebles’ Vaccination a Curse and a Menace to Personal Liberty, and Neil Z. Miller’s Vaccines Are They Really Safe and Effective?, to cite only a few titles, give you the facts about the sordid history of vaccine genocide and the lies your doctor told you. Again, if you don’t already know someone who has suffered from vaccines, just give it time; that person might be you.

If you live in a rural location, you might not see firsthand the millions of illegals flooding in to the country – by some counts, 10 million in the past three years. However, if you live anywhere near the border, you see hordes of third world humanity invading and polluting your communities. You might also hear of relatives in the National Guard or other agencies being sent to the border to try to stop the invasion. Or perhaps you see trials at your local courthouse of innocent Americans being tried for murder for shooting illegal invaders on their property. Unless you live far away from the border, you will certainly know that the problem of illegals invading America has worsened in the past four years.

With this illegal invasion has come an increase in crime. We all see the rise in crime in our communities. Some rural communities are less effected, most certainly. But anyone in a large metro area sees the explosion of crime, thuggery, theft, home invasion, drug-related incidents, and violent offenses. It’s simply undeniable. As with suicide, few people want to talk about it; yet the reality on the streets – the streets more filled with the homeless and deranged than ever before – is indisputable.

If you live in a college town, you also likely see or hear about protests – sometimes violent protests – grinding everything to a halt. Granted, it is not every college campus, but hundreds of campuses in America right now are experiencing protests by anti-American elements. If you lived in the 1960s and 70s, you likely see the parallels to the violent Marxist rhetoric being spewed everywhere by Black Panthers, SDS, the Communist Party, etc. It is essentially the same actors – and their ideological comrades – involved today.

If you have no TV or access to news, but simply look at your bank account, or pay attention at the gas pumps, or peek at the register before you slide your card at the grocery store, or go to buy a house or pay your rent, you know the country is in trouble. You know, as a bare minimum, that the economy is on life support, and that it’s not getting any better.

Dear reader, the current regime must be changed. I am of the sincere opinion that we can no longer restore the Republic peacefully. It will take blood to revive the Liberty tree. As Thomas Jefferson put it, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.” Now is that time, whether you like it or not. Be prepared to do what our forefathers did. Our Lexington and Concord 2.0 is coming. Yet, voting still has its role; get out and vote. But be very, very careful for whom you vote.

If you vote for Bolshevik Biden, the bumbling, cadaver-like puppet installed through a fraudulent and rigged “election” so phony that no rational person believes it was legitimate, I consider you either an enemy of the Republic, an outright imbecile, or a person of unfixed morals that blow this way and that like sand in the wind. Don’t misunderstand; I don’t hate these people – some of them are my relatives and cordial acquaintances. But no matter how you sugarcoat it, whether it is out of malevolence, ignorance, or lack of integrity to sound principle, these misguided people are voting for lies and facilitating the destruction of America.

You who voted for Biden and continue to support him and those of like principle are actively hurting your countrymen by supporting and propping up the most monstrously inept, tyrannical, and deceitful administration in our history. Don’t deny the truth any longer; admit that he is a conman, a criminal, a corrupt and bumbling idiot who could drop dead of natural causes at any moment. Admit that, whatever you may like about him as a person, as a public servant he has violated his oath to defend and uphold the U.S. Constitution – the highest calling of any officer of government.

If you voted for Biden and haven’t repented, and plan on voting for four more years of the hell he and the Democrats have so brazenly given us, then I have no choice but to call you are complicit in tyranny, in the open-border invasion of America, in the use of “law” as a weapon of persecution, in disgusting attacks on traditional values, in the attack against our rights of free speech and self-defense, in the slaughter of innocent babies at infanticide clinics, in the bastardization of truth, in the plundering of the economy, and in the discombobulation of the nation. Repent of supporting this wickedness and corruption and join the right side; you will be welcomed with open arms.

Now, please note that I did not say you must vote for Donald Trump. I didn’t vote for him in 2016 or 2020, and I won’t be voting for him this year – if we even have a normal election, which I think unlikely. Vote for principle for a change. Vote for the Constitution. Vote for sanity. If, to you, that means voting Trump 2024, go for it; at least, his blunders like Operation Warp Speed notwithstanding, he was the best president of the past several generations. At least, under his leadership, people abroad respected and feared us, whereas now they mock us and are swiftly decoupling from the United States and joining BRICS and other hostile international organizations dedicated to our overthrow.

It’s an easy thought experiment to simply remember gas, grocery, and housing prices from four years ago and compare then and now. If you simply have a four-year memory span, there’s no way you will vote for senile Joe Biden and the state machinery of oppression and ineptitude he represents.
