Regime Changes

[ari_ormstunga]

 I've been spending some time looking into the tendencies of Western elites to change regimes in foreign countries. They seem to do this more frequently than my kids change their socks. By Western elites, I mean the United States. Technically, I'm a citizen and the government "represents" me, but I don't have any influence over the unelected aristocracy that really runs the country. I'm also fully aware that my vote doesn't mean much, although after the "election" in 2020 it probably means less than it did prior.

Yes, I am one of those awful conspiracy theorists who think the 2020 election was rigged. I couldn't say to what extent, but I have no doubt that through various means the Biden regime was installed by the same Western elites who have engineered various regime changes oh-so-frequently in the past. Trumpo upset the status quo, so Trumpo had to go. For that matter, some of the same types of people probably regime changed Kennedy back in the 60s.

The case of the rigged election deniers is hurt by admissions on the part of various elites that they, in fact, "fortified" the election (read all about it: The Secret Bipartisan Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election | Time). In rare moments, I have had liberals in my life admit that "they" probably rigged the election to get Trump out, they just think it was a good thing. I'm reminded of the apocryphal saying from the time of the Vietnam war about destroying the village to save the village.

When I was wet behind the ears, I thought that we did that kind of shit overseas but for some reason I assumed that those same agencies and organizations wouldn't do the same thing here. I also thought the evils of the government were due to one political faction, and if only they could be defeated everything would be groovy in the country ever after. Oddly I was accused of being cynical as a young man, but I now realize I was amazingly naive.

When your go-to model of handling inconvenient regimes is overthrowing them through covert operations and your loyalty is to the globalist cabal instead of the representative government that nominally employs you, someone like Trump is just another annoying obstacle to be removed and the American people are just another bunch of rubes to be fooled (and if you aren't fooled you damn well better shut up about it, ask the mostly peaceful protestors who are still rotting in jail over the "insurrection" all about that).

I was spurred to write this essay because I recently read an article about the majority of Americans now regarding the press as being the enemies of the people. Largely, it is Biden supporters who still have faith in the press and in the institutions of the country, which makes sense I guess. If you are happy with the status quo and feel like it's working out for you, why go looking for problems with it? Still, as I listen to the strident screeching about the death of our democracy, I can't help but think about psychological projection. I mean, democracy in the USA
officially died in 2020, when the democratically elected President of the United States was overthrown, just like Western elites overthrew dozens or hundreds of regimes before him. The assholes screaming about the death of democracy are the ones that killed it, or aided and abetted in the murder at least.

It's fine I suppose. To paraphrase the Puppet in Chief, what are you gonna do about it, we have planes and nukes. I'll close out with some Rage Against the Machine, whom I quote very ironically since they are a bunch of authoritarian sellout shills:

"And Orwell's Hell, a terror era coming through
But this little brother's watching you too
And Orwell's Hell, a terror era coming through
But this little brother's watching you too, watching you too"

Same here -- I've been accused of being cynical for a long time but it's only recently that I've realized past-Monstrous was incredibly naive.

I was the kid protesting the rigged/stolen election between Bush & Kerry. I fully believed rigged elections could and would happen in the USA, but I also believed it would only happen in favour of ousting Democrats, not Republicans. I had full BDS, & didn't see that it's not a left vs right problem. It's an elites vs we puny peasants problem.

As embarrassing as my past-self is, it's been useful -- helped me see 2020 was certainly rigged (though now I'm less sure on 2004).

Well it's about time they realized that. I only wish we could get the majority of Canadians to realize the same thing. Only moreso, as our press is literally gov't-funded (ie, gov't-controlled), and independent press gets shut out and silenced by the PTB.

But getting the majority of Canadians to realize that would also mean realizing our country is fast-becoming a Communist regime, if it's not one already. And there's no hope of that. (Let's hope my ISP lets me post this.)

I remember feeling very disillusioned and upset over the Bush/Kerry results as well.

I used to admire Canada quite a bit, and I thought the country had it together in ways we absolutely did not here in the US. I was astounded by how crazy Canada got during Covid. I was pretty inspired by your truckers though!

Same. As a dual-citizen I used to feel superior that I was born in the "better" country & often wished out loud that the US would learn from Canada.

In the past 3 years my husband and I have seriously discussed, many times, the feasibility of moving to the States. We keep coming back to the conclusion of staying in BC, because were born here and it's our home -- but the discussion is perennial.

I was astounded by how crazy Canada got during Covid.

We all were. My mom keeps saying "I can't believe this is happening". People who escaped communist regimes elsewhere have been sounding alarm bells for years now.

And it's still happening, and getting worse. Many Covid things have been rescinded (though in some places, like BC, certain measures remain in place), but now they're sneaking through other things. Bill C-11, which ends any semblance we had at freedom online. Bill C-36, which is a Provincial Bill turning BC into a medical dystopia. The fact that our MAID program (Medical Assistance in Dying) is quickly becoming a way to organ harvest the poor. Our banks aiming to eliminate cash within 5 to 10 years.

It's truly something out of a cyberpunk dystopia, except I can't put the book down when it becomes too scary.

I was pretty inspired by your truckers though!

You and me both! I can't tell you how many people I know who have said the Convoy gave them back their hope and stopped them from self-harm. I know I'm in that camp myself.

If nothing else, it's proof that Canadians are not the passive, apathetic souls we're often seen as when it comes to what's happening in our country.

It's been a cyberpunk dystopia indeed, hasn't it? I've watched the MAID laws in Canada with great concern (I wrote about it a while back, I hadn't heard about the organ harvesting end of it at the time though; it's positively chilling). It's a small step from the government coercing people into killing themselves to just taking the matter into their own hands and removing the sick and inconvenient of their own accord (in a painless and humane fashion, of course).

I hope people like you, your husband, and the truckers can turn the country around. And I hope we can stop our elites from doing the same thing here; it's obviously the master plan and lots of people seem fine with it as long as they are promised enough free stuff.
