You nailed it, and gave me a few smiles while reading. I am just a couple of years younger, widowed, orphaned, and sans children. But I am glad for it. I am envious of those who have gone to their graves. I am thankful my parents, the WWII and Depression generation, are not here to witness this insanity. I am sorry for those with young children or grandchildren, especially if they are troubled by this amoral clown world. I have no words to encourage them to press on, to fight the tide. I believe we've gone too far to ever see this craziness end. The only truth is God's Word and to that I point them. Considering the numbers dying suddenly and unexpectedly, I pray people take time to seek God and the free gift of salvation they can find there. But without fail I find people who think the Titanic will turn just in time, and they are busy rearranging the deck chairs and planning tomorrow's menu. Most of them will take the injection, the chips, the digital ID, whatever is required to access their digital dollars. They see no reason to plan for what I plainly see coming like a 400 foot rogue wave. I feel like a mute trying to scream warnings while all those around me smile and nod their heads. I only find consolation in stepping into eternity with The Light when my time comes.
Shit hole is the exact word I use to describe the United States these days. The USPS is one example. When I was a kid in the sixties, I clearly remember adults mocking third world postal systems. Is there any difference between these postal systems now, and our own?
I knew things were bad, but not quite as bad as I realized until last summer. Unfortunately, I live about 15 miles from Portland (hopefully not for much longer). Yet it has been years since I have been inside the city limits (except for passing through on the interstate). I avoid Portland like the plague. Last August I went to pick up a kitten. I had not driven down 122nd Ave for 17 years. I had to keep asking myself if I was dreaming. The entire length I drove was hideous...garbage on street and sidewalks, abandoned cars, and mobs of people sleeping/passed out on the sidewalks. I have driven through Kenya, and that is exactly what it reminded me of...a Kenyan town away from the tourist areas. I can tell you, I was shook up for days afterwards. How could this change happen in 17 years?
Oh Donald... there wasn’t a word or well phrased description of our ever devolving current reality from JFK to now, that I could disagree... Worse, I’m a bit older than you and find it very hard to feel hope or the future we expected post working years. It’s interesting you mentioned the obvious turning point, by no means the beginning, as 2015. That was the year I began investigating an expat community in Mexico, than more in 2016 and 2017. What an unexpected eye opening education. I didn’t just short term visit, rather several months at a time in several neighborhoods to “feel” literally living there. I met many who essentially fled our country for the very descriptions you write.... some to live more affordably on Soc Sec. Listening to their stories, perceptions and experiences as full time “residente permanente” was engaging, as was sincerely respecting, learning and living among the locals. Catching the bus on the busy Carretera highway to go anywhere was as foreign, exiting and challenging as any of the culture educations! Carrying groceries by bus in return, a culture shock education as was investigating qualifying for residency. Our borders are literally an invasion free for all, while Mexico demands proof of monthly income of 4k, proof of your Social Security or pension, at least $172K in savings, to become a permanent resident. By comparison, your essay today and what has happened and is happening to America makes me question if moving to Mexico might have been the better choice. Thank you for your insightful writings, though todays post is profoundly sad.
This post broke my heart because you are experiencing something that, indeed, has happened and continues to happen. A Great Unraveling. All of it.
In America 1.0 people helped each other more also, and if I lived nearby, I'd take a day to help fix your internet issues; which may well be easily solvable in your home (eg, simplification of your topology; using static IP Addresses (no DHCP); and numerous other adjustments that would resolve your issue once and for all). It's too bad that not one of these technicians offered to go above and beyond. David & Karen Knight have my eMail address and your are welcome to ask them for @NYCeyes' eMail address and contact me directly for free help (they know me as Noelle).
As for other massive degradations you enumerated, they're all true - from the Roads; to the Routers; to the USA Rah Rah Rah-ers (don't they know the state of affairs); to Race emphasis & de-emphasis. I can't watch TV anymore. And the indoctrination is so bad, I also can no longer relate to many people.
It would be shortsighted to overlook the active campaign of Repressive Desublimation which has been going on for a couple decades---attacking all things sacred, moral, conventional, traditional and celebrated, such that people become confused as to what is appropriate to say, and eventually ...what to think. This has created a majority population which seeks the comfort of clannish mentality at one end or the other of a polarity, where they seem willing to die for their half of the dichotomy, when in real life--they probably would run from any actual physical or eye to eye activity. The anonymity of the Internet and social media has made people feel heroic when they are actually doing nothing. The activism which has evolved over the past few years has a faint aroma of the real protesting and resistance which we, boomers, knew in the 1960's, when free speech was almost whole. Today IF we avoid labels, do not stigmatize people, are good listeners and do a bit of thinking, we may have a chance to influence a better outcome than what seems to be telegraphed by the WEF and its gut wrenching minions.
Another barnburner, Don, but with all respect I would not lump Adolph Hitler with the likes of Caligula, Genghis Khan, Stalin & Mao. He was the only Aryan in this time cycle to not only challenge but defeat, albeit temporarily, the beast that has its slimy claws around the collective necks of our race. In truth, his people loved him as he did they and he effectuated miracles for his nation in such a remarkably short time before the Tribe sicced their captive puppet countries on him. The German people under his National Socialist government enjoyed more liberties and freedoms than Americans have ever had or will have, the scrap of toilet paper called the Constitution notwithstanding. On great wealth, is the acquisition of such (I'm talking billionaires) the key to entrance at the apex of the pyramid of power or is a born bloodline connection to said apex the key to acquisition of great wealth? I firmly think it is the latter. Again, my compliments, Don. Keep at it.
This is an excellent summary of where we're at, having passed the peak, now on the downslope we seem to have stumbled over a cliff in our present "woke" culture.
Unfortunately, the uni-party was well represented in Davos last week from both sides of the aisle, very troubling.
Assuredly, FBI Director Wray was there to solidify the notion that the entire Federal bureaucracy is "all-in" with everything being planned by that group, as well as the WEF, Trilaterals, et. al.
Between that and every other appalling act of the Bidens', John Kerry, Al Gore, et. al. it is clear that the U.S.A. is no more. Selling off the Strategic Petroleum Reserves to buy cheap votes and show our allegiance to China, at the expense of having nothing "in the bank" for future emergencies, tells us all we need to know about the path we're on.
As simplistic as the old "Left vs. Right" political classifications were, however, all of that is no longer relevant. Now, the pertinent divide is whether you're aligned with that cause, or not.
For me, having always wondered about whether God, and the Christian Bible, was real, or just an ancient belief system intended to control and quiet the population through lessons in morality, and avoiding the consequences of immoral behavior. Now I realize that they are real, and now I know He and It is real, because all of what is happening now was predicted thousands of years ago. It's all in the Bible, and all anyone needs to do to prove it is "Look It UP."
The "Trials and Tribulations" it warned us about are now upon us, each of us as individuals and, unfortunately, the nation and world as a whole.
I never thought that I would be sitting here, saying that. Thanks for the opportunity.
But if I may, I'd like to add some recently gained knowledge, likely already known to some, and that is the striking similarities around here to the pre WW II, Wiemar Germany, gender, deviancy and all....
Well, we know how that story ended. So you would think they learned their lesson? Or perhaps, they took detailed notes?
You too, can grow up to be a billionaire. If you come from an upper crust family. If you are morally compromised and have no principles. And if you’re willing to claim you “earned it.”
a lot of the folks i know of that became quite wealthy trampled on a fair amount of feet to get there and or were not so concerned with applicable laws
in fine fashion, quite certain you covered everyone of the gripes my wife had to listen to over the last three years
about all I can add is furtherance of the third world southern culture and how they are notorious for littering the beach we go to, as well as catching, often with illegal methods, and of course keeping all fish and any other aquatic edible creatures, all regulations be damned.
least I just received an email from Netflix about the new Pamela Anderson movie, surely an assortment of moral lessons of the highest nature
There is in the depths of Hell a congress of Devils who meet in their version of the Rotunda and as the gavel bangs the Esteemed Gentleman from Hades opens with, "My fellow Demons, I am pleased to report that the Misery Index is up by 33% in the United States. We have made great strides in the total degradation of morals, standards of living, peace of mind, fraternity, and general well being. Special recognition goes to Wormwood who thru his corrupting influence has brought racial strife to it's apex and continues to work tirelessly at increasing the wealth divide. I'm sure 2023 will bring a harvest of souls to our Lord Lucifer with Azreal's pedo project. Let us rejoice in the total destruction of Christendom and continue to push ahead rounding up those who are still clinging to that diabolical belief in Christ. All Hail Satan!!"
We’ve been watching the country fall into a third world society for a long time. Each generation says the same thing but it’s been increasing rapidly since 9/11.

Good write Donald. I too, am sick and tired of being sick and tired!

Anyway, the offer stands Mr. Jeffries.
It would be shortsighted to overlook the active campaign of Repressive Desublimation which has been going on for a couple decades---attacking all things sacred, moral, conventional, traditional and celebrated, such that people become confused as to what is appropriate to say, and eventually ...what to think.

Submitted with great respect.
Write on.

Spot-on Donald!

Excellent post, Don. You capture my own feelings and experience better that I can express. Thank you for your voice!
But if I may, I'd like to add some recently gained knowledge, likely already known to some, and that is the striking similarities around here to the pre WW II, Wiemar Germany, gender, deviancy and all....
Well, we know how that story ended. So you would think they learned their lesson? Or perhaps, they took detailed notes?
one more thought this morning....
this statement seems quite accurate:
You too, can grow up to be a billionaire. If you come from an upper crust family. If you are morally compromised and have no principles. And if you’re willing to claim you “earned it.”
a lot of the folks i know of that became quite wealthy trampled on a fair amount of feet to get there and or were not so concerned with applicable laws
not much to add here...
in fine fashion, quite certain you covered everyone of the gripes my wife had to listen to over the last three years
about all I can add is furtherance of the third world southern culture and how they are notorious for littering the beach we go to, as well as catching, often with illegal methods, and of course keeping all fish and any other aquatic edible creatures, all regulations be damned.

This is what I imagine anyway.
my morning thoughts.... (brought forth from Clif High's recent newsletter)
This is indeed a very interesting time.
Normie is now nearly synonymous with what we used to consider fringe elements.
Some very left leaning ideas are now mainstream.
And the conservative, right leaning ideas are now counter-culture
It all seems to me to be the polar opposite of the 60's and 70's
It is like the cultural poles reversed themselves
How did this all come to be???
