What a great article! It's so true that the most powerful weapon we have in our arsenal is simple consent. Don't spend your money with the people who would have turned in Anne Frank. Don't spend your time with people who would have put you in a camp.

But on the other side, it's also important to seek out NEW people who agree with you and establish a stronger bond than the 'fake' friends who abandoned you as soon as the news told them to. We're going to need that support system for what's coming.

Yes! Yes to how great the article is and yes to our most powerful weapon.

My husband and I have been seeking out those new people. Thankfully, there are many, many more here than where we were -- and we know from experience! :)

Believe me, I remember who put up vaxx requirements for their businesses, their club, their concert, their whatever. I will never forget it. They will never have my business again. And it's not all about my being angry; this means I can give my business to those who welcomed everyone when it counted. Same story with relationships. A door may close, but then, look around, another can open.

Yes to every word, Transcriber. As Mr. Kullander said so eloquently, the ruling regime's in the midst of its finest hour as we, thanks to those who betrayed everything, experience our darkest.

I do pray we get out of this. Many, many good people all around the world are working to try to get us out of this; we all are in our way. I pray we, the salt of the earth, succeed.

“Civil Disconsent” is surely a powerful weapon, and more convenient than going “all Thoreau” on them.

reading this article was like looking into a mirror. thank you for the validation. It's been a lonely struggle fraught with second guessing. but others seem to be coming out of the coma. at least I pray that they are.

I have also seen people coming out of their slumber and a few are asking some basic questions. It gives me hope. In my small town in MA we had a local election that was just dubbed the Townie Trifecta. Though it wasn't directly about the plandemic, wokeism designed to indoctrinate etc... it was a pushback on an over arching neoliberal agenda and the 'professional class' in control of local governance. The results give me great hope.

I feel strongly we must enter the establishments the author writes about and directly and politely challenge them. I think of it as a cult intervention. Every person that wakes up might lead to more townie wins all over America and that is the only path out of this that I can see.

That is good news, Cathy. I think you're exactly right about how we get out of this -- locally, with "townie" wins all over the country.

The turn out was also inspiring :) I think there might be a lot more people on 'our side' who just aren't comfortable actively confronting issues. If that is right then I am hopeful they will get more informed and active as they realize they are not alone and they become less intimidated.

I hope you are getting some much deserved rest and relaxation!

Thank you, Kathleen, for posting my essay. And thank all of you for your kind words about my writing. These are really tough times for those of us who are experiencing so much insanity and also feeling so frustrated and so helpless to do anything about it. It was from this sense of frustration and helplessness that inspired me in September 2021 to start writing about it all from a personal perspective. Not to change anyone’s mind (the captured and controlled mind cannot be changed; I tried) but to support those of us who are struggling. It helps to have kindred spirits, even they are only virtual. This essay originally appeared on Lew Rockwell’s website (lewrockwell.com), where Kathleen read it and emailed me asking me if she could post it on her Substack page. And here it is! I’ve several other essays on Lew Rockwell’s site. For some strange reason, the search function on his site only produces one of several of my essays he’s posted, so if you want to see the others feel free to email me (jimkullander@gmail.com) and I can send you links to the others. Thanks again, everyone.

I feel it. I feel the scars and live the broken. You put it so adroitly. Thank you. It always helps to know others feel the same way, and your descriptions are our new home now. I will take any victory and know that together we are stronger. ♥♥ Thank you so much.

There’s a song whose lyrics at first glance might seem to have a defeatist attitude and a message to be a sheep to win (or at least not lose). The grin is the clue. Badge of honor. This is someone who feels good that the fight is right. They sleep well at night.

They like to get you in a compromising position

They like to get you there and smile in your face

They think they're so cute when they got you in that condition

Well I think it's a total disgrace

[Chorus:]

I fight authority, Authority always wins

I fight authority, Authority always wins

I been doing it since I was a young kid

I come out grinnin'

I fight authority, Authority always wins

So I call up my preacher

I say, "Give me strength for Round 5."

He said , "You don't need no strength, you need to grow up son."

I said, "Growing up leads to growing old and then to dying

"And dying to me don't sound like all that much fun."

[Chorus]

Oh no oh no

I fight authority Authority always wins

[Chorus]

John Mellencamp, Authority Song

Thank you very much SheThinksLiberty. I read the entire article to my wife yesterday. We love your work and your drive; I think I understand your position clearly. The last sentence does indeed sum it all up. It is God-less people who got us into this mess, God-fearing people who love their brother man will get us out. Thanks for all your great posts; keep the faith!! May there be peace on earth. :-)

Thank you, Steve. You are a gem. I so appreciate your encouragement.

Credit for all the beautiful words of that essay must go to Jim Kullander. He captured magnificently virtually everything we've all experienced as we endured this great -- and ongoing -- crime.

Give my best to your wife. :) I hope that some day our paths may cross.

Be well -- and may there be peace on earth.
