I didn't think I'd make it through 2023, but I never get what I want.

Oh boy, another getting started.  There's not even any point to this or a clue why we're involved.  But as you can expect, no liberal anywhere would ever think of complaining about the US attacking a nation that we have nothing to do with.  They don't even need Congress to declare war which all the leftist leaders used to demand, now we can just kill non-white people and nobody cares.

I have to wonder if the purpose is to make the US waste its military on something like this.  Something important might not do as well.  Our rulers keep giving Iran money to help them fight us.  I deliberately haven't looked into what this has to do with Israel, but they're involved in everything else so probably this too.  There's also Iran's conflict with Saudi Arabia, which I've always assumed is based on Shi'ite vs. Sunni although there's probably more of that as well.

At some level, the point would also be to show our absolute failure.  Our rulers can't even be bothered to mention this war, they certainly can't promote it and even if they do, nobody's interested in fighting it.  This might have us run away like we did in Afghanistan although I suspect the point will be more about tying us down for a ridiculous amount of time.  It's amazing what they can get away with when there's no risk of losing elections.

□ [“Woke UK Methodist Church Issues ‘Inclusive Language Guide’ Discourages Use of ‘Hurtful’ Terms Like ‘Husband’ and ‘Wife’"]

The perverts get to do whatever they want and the tyrants get to dictate what language is permissible, it's probably not a coincidence that these people always wind up on the same side.  But how did they get to take over the church?  This isn't an exception, they're all pushing this.  It's not something they would have just come up with in the last few years, this has been underway for a long time.

This is self-destruction, exactly the sort of thing that organized religion is supposed to prevent.  Not just on the individual but on collective society.  Like it or not, the church is fundamentally collectivist, so this is where people need to go on strike from.  I'm not religious enough to know how it would work but stop going and start performing services in private amongst fellow believers.  Prayer and looking after each other is the priority.

This isn't just about promoting made-up genders, it's about erasing the concept of marriage which is how civilization is built.  The left has already done an enormous amount of damage to that concept in the last several decades and now they're trying to erase it entirely, all on the basis of potentially *offending* someone by saying "husband" and "wife," no matter who's offended by having this imposed on them.  They want us to live in Hell forever.

□ [“Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Calls for Reparations as a Way to Reduce Violent Crime"]

He's just showing off how stupid he is, reciting leftist tropes in the belief that this becomes a coherent argument about anything.  You're not going to stop crime by bribing black people, he's obviously the poster child on that.  Yet he expects everyone to believe this nonsense and he has full access to what little money they have to make it happen.

There's no reason to even think he's smart enough to think of this, he's just repeating what his masters tell him to say and hoping that all the other dark-skinned people are stupid enough to believe this.  At this point, I'm not sure if they are or not because otherwise they'd be refusing to put up with his idiocy.  We know they want crime actually stopped, which is more than he cares about, but are they going to do anything about it?

There's the problems of big cities, there's the racial division pushed by leftists, there's the economy they destroy and the criminalization they support.  It just looks like all of their goals are pushed together right here.  I'm surprised he doesn't say extra money will be given to transgenders.  They're in a city that hasn't even existed for 200 years and was one of the greatest ever and this is what they've done to it, and they just want more.

Illegal Aliens Caught Using Fake Passports to Pose as Minors to Get Through Biden’s Open Border

So how much longer do we have?  I would say it's going to fall apart immediately but I've been saying that for years, so my predictions don't have a good record.  That said, we're at the end of a year where everything has gotten worse and there's no way it's going to get better.  We're almost a third of the way towards the rulers' '2030 target' and they're going to need to reach a point where nothing can stop them.

The question is how the rulers can hold everything together.  When the banks collapse, we can't afford food or rent.  When the supply chain breaks, there will be no supplies and the cities will fall apart within a day or two.  The gangs and invaders will need to take turf as soon as possible, leading to massive death on the streets.  When one of those events happens, the rest will quickly follow and without that, what do our rulers have to maintain their power?

They can't just provide food and plumbing and electricity for their servants, all of those institutions require large amounts of people who will also need food, plumbing, etc.  The internet won't just maintain itself, there's transport, there's clothing...  Their servants need these things too, and the people who produce them.  It's what civilization is.

Even if they actively try to wipe out everyone else in existence, that would mean destroying themselves too, unless they really think they can just become mobile tribes and seize what they want.  It's why I keep saying they really have to have some sort of actual plan in mind because it's just too obvious that this plan would never work, much less allow them to maintain power, so what do they expect to happen?

□ [“Muslim Leaders in America Expand Campaign to ‘Abandon Biden’ in 2024 Over U.S. Support for Israel"]

They were willing to support abortion and transgenders and everything else Democrats love, but Biden pretending to support Israel is too much for them?  That's not the Islam I know!

I do think something about this is part of the long-range plans for the 'war on terror' although I can't imagine how that works.  Democrats have spent the last twenty years trying to get Muslims to side with leftists and it's obviously worked out well for them.  First of all, I can't figure out how they did that, second of all, it obviously can't last.  So was this about pushing the left to the left while trying (successfully or not) to get Muslims to side with freedom?

Then there's Israel, which is always the center of these conflicts.  It's why I can't figure out what the point is of having Biden pretend to side with Israel.  He's obviously lying - or rather, repeating what he's told to say - but his supporters specifically oppose that.  They're turning against him but he's supposedly gotten more votes than any real POTUS in history.

Or maybe there is no plan, it's just our insane rulers not having a clue what to do, other than make everything worse for everybody.  It would be easy to blame, say Iran, for calling the shots but they would have just told Biden to turn against Israel, simple as that.  But if not them, than who else?  China trying to spread chaos?  I would think China has less interest in Israel than any other country, at least beyond the need to buy oil from Israel's neighbors.

It's another reason I keep saying we need to form a resistance movement, at least that way we'd know who's on our side and why, and who our opponents are.  This war is already going on too long to be so unknown.
