EVERYTHING, including Capitalism and every other good thing in life (friendship, sexuality, food, entertainment, work and careers, trust among citizens, etc. ad nauseum), has been corrupted by the multi-faceted Cabal. Here, Charles Hugh Smith briefly reminds us of the width and depth of the problem.
Restoring America to it's rightful qualities will involve much more than politics.

If we believe substituting self-serving cover stories for a truly realistic appraisal is going to generate real solutions, that is the ultimate delusion.
One way to summarize the present zeitgeist is What Once Explained Everything Now Explains Nothing: all the intellectual frameworks that "made sense of the world" are now reduced to cover stories masking a reality that defies reduction to the old ideas that have shriveled into misleading cliches.
Exhibit #1: ideology. Capitalism vs. socialism, left vs. right, progressive vs. conservative, Democrat vs. Republican--none of these make sense of what we actually experience, and the manic effort to make the world fit these contrivances only increases our civilizational psychosis.
. . . This blurs the line between private and state totalitarianism to the point that separating the two no longer makes sense of what we experience. The structures of control are both private and state, and trying to fit all this into the false choice of either-or ideologies simply widens our disconnect from reality.
Exhibit #2: health. Health is easy to define: we're fit and feel good and have no need for medications or interventions. Having to take medications for the rest of our lives is not the same as being healthy, because health doesn't depend on medications, ill-health depends on medications.
Here is a map of obesity in the US 40 years ago in 1987. Yes, we can quibble endlessly about defining obesity via BMI (body mass index) and a hundred other misdirections, but the point here is obvious: there were no states in which the populace qualified as obese.
Fast forward to 2023 and the nation is now awash in red and orange [i.e., obesity and morbid obesity]. Note that this data is self-reported, which introduces the possibility that people under-reported their weight as that's what we tend to do.
. . . Exhibit #3: Progress. As I outline in my book The Mythology of Progress, Technology and Progress are one in the same in the ideology of Progress is inevitable and unstoppable.
Yet what we actually experience is technology is being deployed to obsolete products so we must constantly replace them, profitably degrade the quality of services, extract higher profits not by increasing value but by exploiting data (dynamic pricing) and foster an illusion of choice and "freedom of movement" within a corral that's not delineated clearly because then the herded masses might grasp they're trapped in an extractive, exploitive artificial realm of monochrome gray that claims to be alive with vivid colors.
This isn't Progress, it's Anti-Progress, the opposite of authentic progress.
An electric vehicle (EV) charged with electricity generated by coal or natural gas is consuming coal or natural gas. If the battery in the EV was manufactured with lithium extracted in an open-pit mine in a region where the people are too poor and powerless to stop the ruination of their land and the industrial expropriation of their water, is this "sustainable" or "ecological"?

Isn't that what The Storm was supposed to accomplish? I rarely ever hear about it anymore.
It's here-however you have to realize we are a part of that storm.
If we want the full hurricane, we are going to have to act.
This is why when everyone wants to complain, I keep trying to push them to look at how we can act. You don’t repel a scoundrel by pointing out that he’s not engaging in polite behavior.
People want to just be negative about things, or generalize an issue to a group and complain about the group, but those things do precisely nil as far as moving the ball forward.
My retarded self hasn’t done these things yet, so it’s not like I’m condemning anyone for not doing this, but if action is necessary, and violence is off the table, there aren’t exactly a plethora of methods for fighting back left on the table. Seems like pushing for at least a bit of strategical direction is a good thing…
It’s not like this is even my idea, I’m just detailing it out a bit. It’s also why I fairly regularly cheer on people like u/christine_grab and u/memetodeath2021 (? maybe someone else, but has top notch research either way. Sorry, still sleepy.) and even u/ChiefWoody, for actually doing something.

ELITE. RESEARCH. BOARD.
🍻 to the SpecOps and QTards and Johnny Deplorables out there fighting for freedom.
I appreciate all the accolades and support! Seriously, you have no idea how much it means to me. So many people are negative. I rely heavily on the cheerleaders to keep going. In exciting news, I sent a letter to the State Controller after the last meeting (which I do after every meeting) and she actually answered me and thanked me for providing feedback! I need to redact and upload her response, but here is the letter she responded to: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/The-Answers-FTB-Gave-to-Two-of-Malia-Cohens-Question-Was-Misleading-Here-Are-More-Details.pdf.
I know my victories are tiny relative to the Goliath I am fighting, but I've had a lot of these tiny victories. If more people join in and find productive avenues of push back, we will win.
Awesome!
Yeah, if more of us get going, we can thousand cuts the crap out of them!
Making progress in CALIFORNIA of all places should give everybody tons of hope and encouragement!
I'm talking about The Storm where thousands of people would be rounded up and taken to Gitmo and then tried and executed, and all of it being televised.
Well yes.
You don't think this will be like a pay per view event to you?
You're going to have to be involved.
Hard truths
"the Storm, where thousands of people would be rounded up ...."
Q4881
This description of 'The Storm" you are talking about here is from 2. Anons. It's not from Q.
That's the reason Q had to emphasize this distinction between 1. and 2. There is a lot of theory out there that is not Q (1.), but is anon (2.).
That doesn't mean all ideas or theories coming from 2. are wrong or false, but the distinction is very important. Because a lot of the stuff coming from 2. - particularly in a world where now social media is the mainstream, and people can post or spread anything they want - is actually wrong.
Too bad so many people lost their accounts for not agreeing with what other Anons were claiming, and got labeled as doomers and shills.
And the same thing keeps happening. The loudest Anons come up with all these things that are supposed to be happening, other Anons disagree, and get called doomers and shills.
For instance, Q never talked about an official devolution plan. Q influencers cobbled most of that together from bits and pieces.
He never said we'd have NESARA/GESARA or debt cancellation for everyone. The huge financial reset that people talk about isn't something that actually came from Q.
He never mentioned MedBeds. Thankfully everyone seems to have dropped talking about that. That one was embarassing.
There are plenty of examples of things that Anons have cobbled together over the years that some people act like it came straight from Q, when it never did. But if you argue with them about it, and point out it came from random Q influencers or Anons, and not Q, you get called a shill or doomer and deported.
It's exactly like The Storm scenario you mentioned, people will take bits and pieces of what Q actually said, cobble together this new, complex theory, and then use those bits and pieces from Q to say it's true, just because Q mentioned something related to it (usually in a completely different context.)
