Really important article Henry!!! I think most people don't realize how the charlatans swinging the golden watches are the school teachers and professors- from pre-k to post doctoral the entire diabolical endeavor is to hypnotize us out of reality. Ironically, the higher the education, the more sophistical and rationalistic the hypnotized, we see it in spades from the literati's comments even here at the SB Current. The single reason an immoral and classless reprobate like Kamala Harris could be elected to the highest office in the land without a single virtue or true qualification is because the schools have been brainwashing the masses and the "best and brightest" go on to gaslight the world through media, entertainment, law, and politics. The true answer is for those of us still with an ounce of common sense to remove our children from the public institutions immediately and protect and recover innocence while parents recover our moral responsibility to be our children's first teachers.
I am not complacent. I wear a red M.A.G.A. hat. I will vote to stop our country's slide over the cliff. I will plead to GOD to help our nation survive the doom that's headed our way. What I cannot do is stop the arrival (after midnight) of truckloads of fake ballots which are printed in China. I cannot keep millions of dead people from voting from their graves. What I can do...is to keep my head on straight, while others are losing theirs. This may well be the last days of the "Church Age" mentioned in the Holy Bible. Do not despair. Do not give up hope. Keep fighting until the very end. After all....we are the patriots of a once great and mighty nation. We just might win again.
How about putting this at a more local level..... Getting Sleepy Goleta? A congested Old Town Hollister the majority are angry about. A $4 plus million bike path from Pacific Oaks to Ellwood that never generated promised numbers. A 50% Patterson bike path that uses 100% of Caltrans Grant and close to 60% to fix environmental damage.
Getting Sleepy Santa Barbara? A corpse called State St (Death Valley) because of lousy tra)ffic planning. Multiple crossing streets like Sola where the outcome is almost as bad because of intentional street obstructions. A cross walk on Las Positas and Tallent so residents can safely walk to shop at Gelson's - center pedestrian island, bulbouts, and expensive street light, (forget a safe and pleasant access has been available for 60 years). How about all those 50 pluse miles of bike paths and bulbouts suddently appearing because the arrogant anti technology folks demand them without justification. When is SB going to take on the legal issue of children riding electric motorcycles without safety equipment or enforce moped laws on the over 15 mph e-bikes? But again SB is an easy target because of many failures the environmentalists refuse to address.
The question becomes one of where are the supposed elites that are supposed to know better? You know they have tons of money, live in nice secluded homes. Some run for office and snap their fingers and say you will be lemmings and do as I say and not as I do.
"Sit back and do as you’re told, and then suddenly it all explodes before your eyes and it’s too late to save the passengers."
Yep it might have had some reasoning 50 years ago, but little now. Science has caught up with radical environmental factions and they are having a terrible time justifying tear apart the Nation and locally where you live.
Yes, the local “Green Mafia,” has a huge say in not only public works policy but WHO runs for office and WHO wins office. As I indicated a couple days ago, groups such as the EDC, Surfrider and Sierra Club have ENORMOUS power over the voting public. Ever wonder how our County tax base is shrinking due to land grants/grabs of private lands? Multiple swaths of parcels are donated to environmentalists for virtually their exclusive use. As a not-for-profit, they are removed from the County tax roles!
Yes, isn’t ironic that while liberals are under their hypnotic state, they are all in for public, tax subsidized housing and on the other hand, support mandated rent control!
A very powerful and forceful group is working extremely hard to eliminate Trump from the political scene. He is the empowerment of the censored, the silenced, the public trust. As a President, Trump was deeply despised (by the same group). So was Abraham Lincoln.
Stop comparing Trump to Lincoln. They are as different as chalk and cheese. One believed in democracy and stood up for human rights. The other is an immoral and classless reprobate who wants to be a dictator and reshape the government to fit the frightening 1825 manifesto.
you like Kool-Aid do you J.C.? I suspect you are unaware of the hypnotism, but as LT said, at some point you had to give your free will over to those who brainwash you. I assume you are speaking of the 2025 manifesto, but if you believe you are not brainwashed, can you name three things from the 2025 manifesto that are not good, immoral, or otherwise objectionable? I do realize that part of the Kook-Aid you consume informs you that you don't have to answer, (this is an unexamined Marxist principle) but in a civilized society it is a matter of virtue that you support your words with facts. I suspect you don't know much about Lincoln or Trump, you characterize Lincoln anachronistically the way a 6th grade political activist would. Still, give us 3 bad things in the 2025 manifesto, or you give up any possibility of credibility among those who can still think clearly.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! That was such a dipshit gaslighting moment. Honestly, even for the party of liars, those abusers of speech, Joe Biden, who was barely conscious, has never been a man of intellectual or moral virtue, could he ever be considered, even by the most stupidest people on earth, to be on Mt. Rushmore with iconic presidents? The only thing that idiot did that was iconic was to denigrate the US with DEI hires left and right as he expedited our destruction, MT. Rushmore is not for that kind of "iconic."
Lincoln didn't care for freeing the slaves, he was a pragmatist who cared more about preserving the union than upholding Christian values. Christian Monarchies which are for some reason considered "backwards" banned slavery well before America did.
While some countries abolished slavery prior to America (eg Spain 1817, England 1834, France 1848), others abolished after America (eg Cuba 1888, Brazil 1926)
Unlike most, America fought a civil war, with great loss of life, in order to abolish slavery.
Africans profited from African slaves. All sorts of people have been and still are enslaved. No one seems to give a shit about the African children forced into hard labor like diamond mining. How about we talk about the present and our current problems and stop arguing about who did what to whom or thought or said this or that?
Yes, unfortunately they did participated in the slave trade in violation of Christain principles. The Church is a hospital for sinners, and sinful people often sacrifice certain values for temporary gain. But ultimately these monarchies could make them illegal by appealing to authentic Christian values. And the near absolute authority of a monarchy would allow the effective enforcement of a ban.
Stephen if you really want to bring up the historical failings of religious monarchies than I will do the same for secular republics/democracies..
Remember that eugencis, scientific racism, and social darwinism was never promoted by Catholics under the rule of a Catholic monarch, rather secular individuals who supported classical liberal and enlightenment thought condoned these ideas, indeed some "progressives" historically supported these ideas.
Joseph Goebbels famously said “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.”
No, I am NOT equating Democrats to National Socialism. It does seem however, the Dems repeat the same lies over and over. Whether it be on the economy, foreign policy, climate change and simple biology!
Clearly, Kamala Harris is in over her head and has NO clue as to what she is talking about. Yes, she was an utter disaster as Attorney General and Senator for California. Her term as Senator was a huge nothingburger and while AG, she favored bail projects which released dangerous criminals. She also tried to convict at least one innocent defendant with capital murder when she KNEW the evidence was lacking.
She is an extremist and so is her pick for VP, Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota.
Together, they are a uber left radicals.
Yes, Tim Walz sat on his hands while Minneapolis burned to the ground! All while Harris was raising money to get accused Antifa thugs released from custody by way of the Bail Project.
Yes, it would seem Democratic voters are
under massive hypnosis. Focusing on a moving pocket watch while our economy tanks! No doubt their energy will be devoted to climate change, gender identity, DEI and paying off Unions.
I find it interesting that Harris has had NO press conference or interview since she assented into Presidential candidate and “sleepy” Joe was shown the door by Pelosi. Amazing, Harris finds herself in this position without winning a single primary! She was “anointed “ by the donors and party bosses. Wait, what? How did she come so far, so quickly…just ask Willie!
The Harris fairy tale won't last much longer, esp now with Commie- Walz by her side. The only thing she has going for her is the millions of people stupid enough to buy her lies, distortions and fantasies. . . and that's a lot!
Those trying to put Harris into the White House are counting on the American voters to exhibit certain behaviors. These include complacency, fantasy thinking, ignorance of history, tolerance of a candidate’s sordid personal life, willingness to believe impossible promises, and the deluded belief that the ability to lead the country is vastly enhanced by their gender and skin color. Add to the mix a large dose of wishful thinking that killing the unborn, and castrating confused children is a good thing. Combine all of this confusion with disdain for an obviously imperfect Trump, and you have a formula for putting this nitwit it the Oval Office. It may be that beneath the cackle and word salad there is a sharp, calculating evil mind, which is even more worrisome. Before you start writing a response that Trump is far from perfect in his personal life, and that his persona many find obnoxious, consider the election as another binary choice. It feels like 2016 all over. Most of the time, voting is choosing between two flawed individuals. If you judge between the two people running for President in November based on their history of achievement, strength on the world stage, and a realistic idea of how to get our country back on track, the obvious choice is Trump. Don’t be fooled, and keep praying.
Great comment Dr. Aijian, Straight out of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, they hold Trump to an ideal standard of perfection and hold themselves to the lowest of standards. Imagine how small a soul must be to buy into all the lies you mention above, and yet, it just may be approaching a majority of Americans who believe the unbelievable.
Bingo! Yes, Steven this is exactly what it is. Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals,” was originally based on exploiting differences people have financially. Now, the Alinsky hybrid seems to be based on exploiting race and gender identity.
As recent as last month, Harris was floating the idea of reparations for blacks. Clearly, lighting a racial dumpster fire!
As for Walz, he made news by demanding Tampon dispensing machines in Boys school bathrooms!
Yes they are possessed for sure! they do the work of Satan by dividing people by class, race, gender and sexuality, all by hiding the true "what is" that we all have in common, human nature, we are made in the image and likeness of God and these people have arrogated to themselves the the roles of priest, prophet and king, i.e. they are their own gods. It makes sense in a fallen world but these crazies think the world is not fallen and they are trying to make a heaven on this earth, and it is no small irony that it is becoming a true hellscape. Harris and Waltz are such moral reprobates- I am glad you are out there LT!!!
My mom actually thinks Kamala is smart and experienced. Go figure. She also thinks Biden does not have dementia and scoffs at the idea. She herself has dementia, gets all her info from the boob tube and WILL be voting.
Thanks, Henry, terrific column. But we may be saved from hypnosis by a fire in the theater. A raging out-of-control conflagration that may take all of us … But it also may awaken those just getting sleepier. The power elite does not want to die. They just want us to die, sure, that's obvious. But not themselves. And when they see that fire blocking the exits to their bunkers in New Zealand and Mars they are going to push Kamala into flames and run for their lives. The financial situation and WWIII are going to be real problems for Kamala that she can't just giggle “no problem” to and flounce away from. And being a convincing script-reading actress playing world leader at a time of crisis is not something Willie trained her for. I bet they find a way to get rid of her before the convention even gets the DNC hypnotists on the stage.
“. . push Kamala into flames and run for their lives. . . . she can't just giggle “no problem” to and flounce away from. . . I bet they find a way to get rid of her before the convention even gets the DNC hypnotists on the stage.”
I absolutely agree. Her ‘honeymoon’ phase is quickly coming to an end. It won’t be long before no more breakfast in bed - it’ll be time to clean the toilet and take out the garbage, Trump and the media will see to that!
I don't think this WWIII crisis has been conveniently manufactured the way Covid was. I think it's Iran and Israel looking at the Biden situation and now Kamala and saying “easy pickings.” In their contempt for us now, the Middle East is probably united.
I'm not an expert on hypnotism, but in the 1950s I engaged in it to learn what it was about. One thing I did notice was that only those who wanted to be controlled by the hypnotist were, the others didn't fall under the spell. AND if some significant outside disturbance occurred the hypnotized could be brought out from under the hypnotist's control.
So my thinking is that many are submitting their wills to be hypnotized, by either party by the way, and some might be brought out from under the "mindless" control if the external events loom large enough to snap them out of it. That's my hope...for ALL who are hypnotized. Snap out of it!
Most people are weak compliers. They want to fit in, go with the flow, not rock the boat, or bring any attention to themselves. My mom, whom I had until recently admired, admitted the reason she got the jab (3 times, mind you) is that she would rather be an ant in an ant hill than alone. Her elderly friends insist she be vaccinated to attend their parties, which they didn’t have anyway.
In my experience (I’m 65, former officer) there are very very few true leaders in the world. Everyone else might as well be considered an NPC. (Google it)
I know we compared notes on our elderly multiple jabbed moms. My mom just "believes in science" and the MSM. I myself am a follower, but a seeker and follower of Truth- most probably should not lead, and it is devastating to convince those of us who ought to follow to try to lead, but those of us who follow, must be discerning whom we follow. I respect those who have more virtue than me and I reject the vicious, as I am sure you do Anne.
"Operation Mockingbird was a covert U.S. government operation run by the CIA to implant pro-US propaganda in American media and front organizations. Starting in the 1950s, the CIA began to hire and contract students and people in the media to write false stories, or embellish stories to favor the U.S government."
"It was blown open in 1977 when famed journalist Carl Bernstein, who also, with his partner Bob Woodward, exposed the Watergate scandal in 1974. In his 1977 piece, The CIA and the Media, Bernstein revealed that certain reporters not only were paid by the U.S government, they also engaged in more extensive relationships with the CIA, even sharing notebooks, and some were paid upwards of $500,000 for their work."
The Big-Media and Elite are Playing All ..................... to Shut-Down the obvious.
Is Kammy part of the Deep State? Well here is your answer from The Substack On All Things US Intelligence by Jeff Stein titled "Biden's Out: Full Steam Ahead Kamala Harris is a strong but measured supporter of CIA, FBI, Law Enforcement"
It’s funny, sad, troubling to see how easily it is to manipulate people.
COVID was the start of the obvious blatant brainwashing.
People feared for their lives while homeless never died.
Then the savior offered a cotton tshirt to save you. Then an experimental drug that did not prevent the disease. To this day there are still people wearing masks driving alone in convertible cars.
They made the elections about defeating a man not about policies. They created an enemy like they did with the Russians through the Cold War.
Sad to say, but the country needed these last several years under Biden to wake up people.
Slowly people are seeing the lies, but will they vote against what’s been ingrained in them?
“Project Stargate was a multimillion-dollar program launched by the CIA at the height of the Cold War, to try and get ahead of the Soviet Union on powers of the mind. It was the result of rumors about the Soviets that were swirling around in the 1970s; the CIA believed the USSR was spending 60 million roubles annually on ESP and mind-reading projects, to aid in its espionage efforts.” The only question I have is this still going on today??
Hmmmmmmm............... Espionage and reading minds. I just wonder does this have anything to do with
little-ole Santa Barbara and our Glorious So-Called-Local-”Sleepy”-Leaders?
Weirdo alert-Tim Walz! It turns out Walz knows how to work the system. He retires from active duty Army and then joins the Minnesota National Guard. He stays in the Guard long enough to make the rank of Command Sergeant Major, E-9. Thinking he was going to skate, his Guard Unit gets orders for Iraq. When it’s time to deploy, he can’t be found and deserted his Troops! His former Army buddies are now on the internet teeing off on Sergeant “Bilko” Walz. This is the new “Swift Boat “ scandal and his rollout is now doomed!
Really, a Weirdo? I guess we didn't just watch the same rally. I thought he was awesome, a breath of fresh political air. (I thought the same thing when I watched Sarah Palin at the RNC convention when she accepted her nomination, so what do I know. . .). He was funny, he has energy, oh, let me back up, I never voted for Kamala in any CA election.
My question is this, does he dump Vance as the ratings continue to go up in favor of Harris, of does Trump drop out entirely because he hates to lose?
Ummm, let me try to unpack the lowdown on “Weirdo Walz.”
He failed to call in the Minnesota National Guard until AFTER Minneapolis was burned down, he signed a bill which called for Tampon vending machines in MALE school bathrooms, he bailed on his National Guard Unit AFTER they received orders to deploy to Iraq and finally, he Honeymooned in China and has subsequently taken some 30 trips to China…why?
Ya, I’d say dude is weird and has some explaining to do.
Congress needs to open an investigation into the China trips and make sure there wasn’t any collusion…just like Dems did to Trump. After all, you know what they say about payback!
Very biased and fanciful essay. No knowledge of real economic and immigration issues. Fear of education. Better to be hypnotized, I’d say, than drink the MAGA Kool-Aid, and never wake up, or become a brain-dead zombie. Or worse- like Trump’s favorite model: “beautiful” Hannibal Lector!
Being biased doesn't mean a person is wrong. You're making claims that you don't support without any evidence, merely your own biases ironically enough.
Taking another trip in the Way Back Machine: 1941 Author Erich Fromm - Escape from Freedom:
The book was all the rage in the 1950/60's the when Age of Conformity was meeting head-on with the 1960's Great Hippie social revolution. Covid in 2020 yet again proved people still easily trade security for freedom; and not even question if the alleged security threat was even real. The "government" says it is, and that was good enough for them. This is Stockholm Syndrome - not science.
Many still do not question what in fact really happened election year 2020 forward, until now election year 2024. Both sides and the media have made the massive "covid" social and economic dislocation taboo.
So yet again during Covid ...we tried to escape from freedom.
Escape From Freedom - Erich Fromm (Actually not a bad synopsis follows) - Probably worth a re-read today. Selling liberty and freedom in this new Age of Acute Anxiety may meet headwinds. Harris-Walz 2024 are promising cradle to grave total security: Free health care, free childcare, free senior care, free houses.
WIKI: Escape from Freedom is a book by psychoanalyst Erich Fromm, first published in the United States by Farrar & Rinehart in 1941....
....In the book, Fromm explores humanity's shifting relationship with freedom, how individual freedom can cause fear, anxiety and alienation, and how many people seek relief by relinquishing freedom.
He describes how authoritarianism can be a mechanism of escape, with special emphasis on the psychosocial conditions that enabled the rise of Nazism.
This article has a low opinion of the electorate, and implies that this may be the reason Trump loses. I believe former Obama advisor Axelrod has it correct: it is Trump‘s election to lose. His attacks on Governor Kemp during his event in Georgia last week did nothing to help his cause; they seem rather pointless.
You are correct. I do have a low opinion of the electorate. They are so easily swayed and keep voting in stupid people. Just look at where we are. Really look. Not Trump bad and we need a DEI president. People are paying through the nose for groceries. A hundred dollars to fill a car. Interest rates on homes 7%. Dependent on foreign oil when we have so much under our feet we could sell to other countries, thereby lower taxes, help the poor, close the friggin' border. I have to stop writing. Blood pressure is going up.

And that does not include the housing authority that is swallowing even more land and importantly viable businesses
Yes, isn’t ironic that while liberals are under their hypnotic state, they are all in for public, tax subsidized housing and on the other hand, support mandated rent control!

And Pelosi wants Bidens image carved into Mt Rushmore.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! That was such a dipshit gaslighting moment.

What a crock! Isn't that wear Trump's face was supposed to go? Does granite come in orange?
Daniels,
Bruh, you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about or you skipped out during History class.
Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus and jailed journalists who were critical of him.
You’re entitled to your opinion but not entitled to the facts.
Lincoln didn't care for freeing the slaves, he was a pragmatist who cared more about preserving the union than upholding Christian values. Christian Monarchies which are for some reason considered "backwards" banned slavery well before America did.
I disagree…as evidenced by his speech in the years preceding his presidency, Lincoln care about slaves & equal treatment under law:
https://www.nps.gov/liho/learn/historyculture/slavery.htm
While some countries abolished slavery prior to America (eg Spain 1817, England 1834, France 1848), others abolished after America (eg Cuba 1888, Brazil 1926)

Were these not the same "Christian monarchies" who established and profited from the African slave trade for centuries before banning it?
Africans profited from African slaves. All sorts of people have been and still are enslaved. No one seems to give a shit about the African children forced into hard labor like diamond mining.

Yes they are possessed for sure! they do the work of Satan by dividing people by class, race, gender and sexuality, all by hiding the true "what is" that we all have in common, human nature, we are made in the image and likeness of God and these people have arrogated to themselves the the roles of priest, prophet and king, i.e. they are their own gods. It makes sense in a fallen world but these crazies think the world is not fallen and they are trying to make a heaven on this earth, and it is no small irony that it is becoming a true hellscape. Harris and Waltz are such moral reprobates- I am glad you are out there LT!!!
My mom actually thinks Kamala is smart and experienced. Go figure. She also thinks Biden does not have dementia and scoffs at the idea. She herself has dementia, gets all her info from the boob tube and WILL be voting.
ditto on my mom- interestingly, 3 week ago, my mom thought Kamala was a loser, today thanks to the boob tube, my mom thinks she is pretty good. WOW!!!
The what?
That is old slang for tv
Thanks, Henry, terrific column. But we may be saved from hypnosis by a fire in the theater. A raging out-of-control conflagration that may take all of us … But it also may awaken those just getting sleepier. The power elite does not want to die. They just want us to die, sure, that's obvious. But not themselves. And when they see that fire blocking the exits to their bunkers in New Zealand and Mars they are going to push Kamala into flames and run for their lives. The financial situation and WWIII are going to be real problems for Kamala that she can't just giggle “no problem” to and flounce away from. And being a convincing script-reading actress playing world leader at a time of crisis is not something Willie trained her for. I bet they find a way to get rid of her before the convention even gets the DNC hypnotists on the stage.
Polly - love your rap! :
“. . push Kamala into flames and run for their lives. . . . she can't just giggle “no problem” to and flounce away from. . . I bet they find a way to get rid of her before the convention even gets the DNC hypnotists on the stage.”
I absolutely agree. Her ‘honeymoon’ phase is quickly coming to an end. It won’t be long before no more breakfast in bed - it’ll be time to clean the toilet and take out the garbage, Trump and the media will see to that!
I don't think this WWIII crisis has been conveniently manufactured the way Covid was. I think it's Iran and Israel looking at the Biden situation and now Kamala and saying “easy pickings.” In their contempt for us now, the Middle East is probably united.
I'm not an expert on hypnotism, but in the 1950s I engaged in it to learn what it was about. One thing I did notice was that only those who wanted to be controlled by the hypnotist were, the others didn't fall under the spell. AND if some significant outside disturbance occurred the hypnotized could be brought out from under the hypnotist's control.
So my thinking is that many are submitting their wills to be hypnotized, by either party by the way, and some might be brought out from under the "mindless" control if the external events loom large enough to snap them out of it. That's my hope...for ALL who are hypnotized. Snap out of it!
Most people are weak compliers. They want to fit in, go with the flow, not rock the boat, or bring any attention to themselves. My mom, whom I had until recently admired, admitted the reason she got the jab (3 times, mind you) is that she would rather be an ant in an ant hill than alone. Her elderly friends insist she be vaccinated to attend their parties, which they didn’t have anyway.
In my experience (I’m 65, former officer) there are very very few true leaders in the world. Everyone else might as well be considered an NPC. (Google it)
I know we compared notes on our elderly multiple jabbed moms. My mom just "believes in science" and the MSM. I myself am a follower, but a seeker and follower of Truth- most probably should not lead, and it is devastating to convince those of us who ought to follow to try to lead, but those of us who follow, must be discerning whom we follow. I respect those who have more virtue than me and I reject the vicious, as I am sure you do Anne.
Very interesting Anne.
I read this solid article by Mr. Schulte titled "Your Getting Sleepy" where the new
title should read "You Are Getting Brainwashed Government Style" via
"Operation Mockingbird" Everyone here has lamented "Big Brother"
and the "Deep State" especially now in the Assassination Attempt of Donald Trump
and the complete Big-Media-Shut-Down that has followed. I quote from the
website below which can be found at the CIA's website as well.
https://libertywingspan.com/52879/uncategorized/operation-mockingbird/
"Operation Mockingbird was a covert U.S. government operation run by the CIA to implant pro-US propaganda in American media and front organizations. Starting in the 1950s, the CIA began to hire and contract students and people in the media to write false stories, or embellish stories to favor the U.S government."
"It was blown open in 1977 when famed journalist Carl Bernstein, who also, with his partner Bob Woodward, exposed the Watergate scandal in 1974. In his 1977 piece, The CIA and the Media, Bernstein revealed that certain reporters not only were paid by the U.S government, they also engaged in more extensive relationships with the CIA, even sharing notebooks, and some were paid upwards of $500,000 for their work."
The Big-Media and Elite are Playing All ..................... to Shut-Down the obvious.
Is Kammy part of the Deep State? Well here is your answer from The Substack On All Things US Intelligence by Jeff Stein titled "Biden's Out: Full Steam Ahead Kamala Harris is a strong but measured supporter of CIA, FBI, Law Enforcement"

It’s funny, sad, troubling to see how easily it is to manipulate people.
COVID was the start of the obvious blatant brainwashing.
People feared for their lives while homeless never died.
Then the savior offered a cotton tshirt to save you. Then an experimental drug that did not prevent the disease. To this day there are still people wearing masks driving alone in convertible cars.
They made the elections about defeating a man not about policies. They created an enemy like they did with the Russians through the Cold War.
Sad to say, but the country needed these last several years under Biden to wake up people.
Slowly people are seeing the lies, but will they vote against what’s been ingrained in them?
To hate, yes hate, the orange man & republicans.
Mr. Schulte has referred to Hypnosis, mind control, which has been tried in various
forms by the CIA in their “MK Ultra” Program in the 1950s-60s weblink below>>
https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/document/06760269
Which lead to the a highly classified US Intelligence program called “Grill Flame”
already in practice by Military Intelligence in 1960s to 1980s weblink below>https://nypost.com/2017/03/09/inside-the-cia-psychic-squad-that-helped-get-us-hostages-out-of-iran/
I provide you photo of the actual Military building where the Grill Flame operated from>

Grill Flame went my many names and finally was referred to “The Stargate Program” weblink>>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_Project and I quote from the weblink …......
“Project Stargate was a multimillion-dollar program launched by the CIA at the height of the Cold War, to try and get ahead of the Soviet Union on powers of the mind. It was the result of rumors about the Soviets that were swirling around in the 1970s; the CIA believed the USSR was spending 60 million roubles annually on ESP and mind-reading projects, to aid in its espionage efforts.” The only question I have is this still going on today??
Hmmmmmmm............... Espionage and reading minds. I just wonder does this have anything to do with
little-ole Santa Barbara and our Glorious So-Called-Local-”Sleepy”-Leaders?
Maybe just maybe.

Thelma has evidently selected Louise to join her in her drive off the cliff.
A socialist from Minnesota seems a perfect fit for a socialist from California
Look up her father - a bona fide communist
Weirdo alert-Tim Walz! It turns out Walz knows how to work the system. He retires from active duty Army and then joins the Minnesota National Guard. He stays in the Guard long enough to make the rank of Command Sergeant Major, E-9. Thinking he was going to skate, his Guard Unit gets orders for Iraq. When it’s time to deploy, he can’t be found and deserted his Troops! His former Army buddies are now on the internet teeing off on Sergeant “Bilko” Walz. This is the new “Swift Boat “ scandal and his rollout is now doomed!
Seriously, you can’t make up this buffoonery!
Really, a Weirdo? I guess we didn't just watch the same rally. I thought he was awesome, a breath of fresh political air. (I thought the same thing when I watched Sarah Palin at the RNC convention when she accepted her nomination, so what do I know. . .). He was funny, he has energy, oh, let me back up, I never voted for Kamala in any CA election.
My question is this, does he dump Vance as the ratings continue to go up in favor of Harris, of does Trump drop out entirely because he hates to lose?
Ummm, let me try to unpack the lowdown on “Weirdo Walz.”
He failed to call in the Minnesota National Guard until AFTER Minneapolis was burned down, he signed a bill which called for Tampon vending machines in MALE school bathrooms, he bailed on his National Guard Unit AFTER they received orders to deploy to Iraq and finally, he Honeymooned in China and has subsequently taken some 30 trips to China…why?
Ya, I’d say dude is weird and has some explaining to do.
Congress needs to open an investigation into the China trips and make sure there wasn’t any collusion…just like Dems did to Trump. After all, you know what they say about payback!
Stolen Valor doesn’t play well with vets
Speaking of working the system, 5 deferments for “bone spurs” certainly comes to mind for a certain someone…
Very biased and fanciful essay. No knowledge of real economic and immigration issues. Fear of education. Better to be hypnotized, I’d say, than drink the MAGA Kool-Aid, and never wake up, or become a brain-dead zombie. Or worse- like Trump’s favorite model: “beautiful” Hannibal Lector!
Being biased doesn't mean a person is wrong. You're making claims that you don't support without any evidence, merely your own biases ironically enough.
Super ironic JC!
Taking another trip in the Way Back Machine: 1941 Author Erich Fromm - Escape from Freedom:
The book was all the rage in the 1950/60's the when Age of Conformity was meeting head-on with the 1960's Great Hippie social revolution. Covid in 2020 yet again proved people still easily trade security for freedom; and not even question if the alleged security threat was even real. The "government" says it is, and that was good enough for them. This is Stockholm Syndrome - not science.
Many still do not question what in fact really happened election year 2020 forward, until now election year 2024. Both sides and the media have made the massive "covid" social and economic dislocation taboo.
So yet again during Covid ...we tried to escape from freedom.
Escape From Freedom - Erich Fromm (Actually not a bad synopsis follows) - Probably worth a re-read today. Selling liberty and freedom in this new Age of Acute Anxiety may meet headwinds. Harris-Walz 2024 are promising cradle to grave total security: Free health care, free childcare, free senior care, free houses.
WIKI: Escape from Freedom is a book by psychoanalyst Erich Fromm, first published in the United States by Farrar & Rinehart in 1941....
....In the book, Fromm explores humanity's shifting relationship with freedom, how individual freedom can cause fear, anxiety and alienation, and how many people seek relief by relinquishing freedom.
He describes how authoritarianism can be a mechanism of escape, with special emphasis on the psychosocial conditions that enabled the rise of Nazism.
This article has a low opinion of the electorate, and implies that this may be the reason Trump loses. I believe former Obama advisor Axelrod has it correct: it is Trump‘s election to lose. His attacks on Governor Kemp during his event in Georgia last week did nothing to help his cause; they seem rather pointless.
You are correct. I do have a low opinion of the electorate. They are so easily swayed and keep voting in stupid people. Just look at where we are. Really look. Not Trump bad and we need a DEI president. People are paying through the nose for groceries. A hundred dollars to fill a car. Interest rates on homes 7%. Dependent on foreign oil when we have so much under our feet we could sell to other countries, thereby lower taxes, help the poor, close the friggin' border. I have to stop writing. Blood pressure is going up.
Right on Henry!
Tell me how his attack on Kemp helps the cause you outline. Venting your spleen does little to win votes.
