Oddbean new post about login | logout Bruh. I swore to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. I know the constitution well. And we have domestic enemies. That’s a fact. Several politicians have publicly stated that they want to completely rewrite the constitution. No need to make this personal. We have a difference of opinion. I thought we were all one big happy nostr family here? You know nothing about me and call me lazy? I’m still voting for trump. But he ain’t gonna change the US political structure. He can’t eliminate the Federal Reserve. He can’t change fractional reserve banking. Congressmen and senators with criminal records will continue to be elected. Freshmen politicians will still be forced to raise money their first year in office which will come with “strings” and the donors will own them. Politicians will continue to write laws for us and exempt themselves. They will always have top-tier healthcare for life. The government has grown every year in size and power since 1776 and Trump ain’t gonna change that. He’s not going to change the fact that 95% percent of university professors are socialists. He won’t change the existing two-party system. The national debt will continue to grow under him. He won’t balance the budget. He won’t reduce the power of the EPA which is crippling US production in many ways. He will continue to give billions of US dollars in foreign aid. Trump will do some good things, I’m 100% sure of that. But he won’t stop the natural cycle of a nation. Look up Tytlers Cycle of a Nation. Corruption is replete in BOTH parties and trust me, Trump is NOT clean as the wind-driven snow (even if he does want to sweep the forest lol). Your enthusiasm and energy is great. Consider running for a local office and making a difference locally. I’d probably vote for you!Nationally, it would take much more authority than what a POTUS can do to clean up Washington.
First off thank you for a great informative reply. Thank you for your service also. It was not my intent, even though possibly sounding that way, to get off one's ass was a broad term and generalization of many that sit and complain but no action. Nobody is saying that Trump is going to magically fix everything but we need a tip of the spear to help highlight the problems (without being a dictator) and light a fire under the people's ass to take positive action. Changing the direction of the giant animal of government and the corrupt system takes time. Oh this shit ain't going to be easy but thankfully the United States has a Constitution like no other in the world. It has taken centuries for the people to understand it and the corrupt one's try everyday to remove it. Myself, I can do very little with what is left in my life because I've been battling stage 4 colon cancer for 6 years. Never give up the battle to uphold the Constitution, and remember your oath, I have. ;-)
Sorry for the double reply but your extensive reply is thorough. I'm pleased with the intellectual conversation. Yes the Federal Reserve and all it controls does take a natural course and we are very aware of the 40-50 year cycle it was designed to take. We also know by science that the point of change is when something is the most vulnerable for manipulation. It's at that point we will strike. The Federal Reserve is at the end of one of their cycles and needs to change the currency from full fiat to a blockchain fiat. We also know that the Federal Reserve is in breach of contract of their dual mandate to control inflation and employment by cooking the book. They will be audited. Statistically appropriately 90% of people are good people but have been taken advantage of by the illusion created by the corrupt ones (called Bankers during Biblical times). Trump is not clean as fresh snow but the first time I heard him referred to as a "Anointed One" it was by priests of multiple faiths in Israel. It was if it were common knowledge but we were not told. Why did they call him that and what did they know? The public and much of the military is ignorant on what has been going one behind the scenes. Granted we did a good job of hiding it from our domestic enemies but also at the cost of the nation. How well do you know military law, custom, and cortices? What did we do?
I don’t believe the Federal Reserve is near the end of its cycle, I believe the US is. (Look up Alexander Tytler cycle of a nation. Where do you see the US on the circle chart?) Trump was unable to prove that the last election was a sham. An admin was able to use SQL Server Management Studio to change the vote tally without leaving a trace in the history log file. (Maybe he was pro Biden? Maybe he was threatened? Maybe bribed?) There’s NO WAY Trump can force an audit of the federal reserve - which by the way - is a rally cry and narrative that republicans have been screaming for years. POTUS alone does not have the authority. When the republicans held the house, senate, POTUS and Supreme Court they didn’t even try to force an audit. Greed and corruption have deep roots. The federal reserve answers to no one. They will give up fiat and change to a blockchain CBDC when they can have greater control over the money give or take it from you based on your behavior, beliefs, status, political bias and even the social credit score of your friends. To answer your question, I served in the military. Speaking of which, during the Obama administration, some important, high ranking strong and conservative military leaders were targeted and replaced with very liberal leaders. Since then, other conservative military leaders (O-5 and O-6 levels have been threatened and asked to leave the military purely based on their views expressed in social media. I was surprised at the number of liberals I worked with when I served. Today, the US military leadership is not nearly as conservative an organization as most believe.
The last Federal Reserve cycle was in the 70's when we came off the gold standard. I bet the math is about 40-50 years ago. They are due to change to the CBDC. Do you really think Bitcoin got an organic head start for no reason? How important is currency to national security? Yes, much of the military has been compromised but Command and Control is still intact. Were you still in the military after the 2020 election? I don't believe I've talked about this online before (I plan on burning this account soon) but the day after the election there was MASSIVE military movement with lots of fights. I live directly under a military flight corridor and something was totally different.
