I reference Emily Rainey in my column. Emily was featured in Tucker Carlson's 1-6 documentary and was the guest on one of his "Tucker Carlson Tonight" shows. This was exciting to me as Emily's father, Scott, is one of my best friends. We graduated high school together in Troy, Alabama and her grandfather still lives here and is one of the civic leaders in our town.
As referenced, Emily was pretty much run out of the Army because she attended the 1-6 protest, but she also got in trouble for removing some police tape from a local playground and letting her son slide down the slide. She even videotaped this and posted the video of her civil disobedience, which got her arrested or charged with a misdemeanor.
In other words, she thinks like me but she's braver and took firmer actions. Her back story is that she was not just any Army officer. She was in special ops in Afghanistan as a female officer. And both her parents are graduates of West Point. Her mother was in the same graduating class as Pompeo.
Scott was in charge of the USO program in the Iraq War and was the Army host for all the celebrities who would come over to visit the troops. So he's actually buddies with the actor Gary Sinese (Lt. Dan) and numerous other celebrities.
Scott, who is now retired, thinks exactly like I do and supports his contrarian daughter 100 percent. That's the type officers the military actually needs. And they are running them off.
After a year of fearing job loss over the vax mandate, I finally decided that fearing wokeness was not worth my job either. So I decided that either about half our silicon valley company's HR department (woke young women with garbage degrees and super important feelings) was going to get canned, or I would.
After providing vicious feedback on a number of forms and getting support through back channels, our CEO apologized for the lack of respect being shown to employees. Now a bunch of these lunatic woke women are on linkedin trying to get a job.
We are in a war. This stuff is not a joke. They crossed the Rubicon with politicized medicine. Make them pay. Stand up, fight, and we will win.
I clearly remember thinking 'there's something wrong with the world'. All the points you've made in your article are symptoms of that 'wrongness'. Sometimes, it feels like I'm living in a twilight zone where nothing makes sense. Everything that is right and good and proper has been turned on its head. Some entity is at war against us.
Billy you are one of my favorite new observers, documenting these changes for history. I have been a reformer with my husband and have spotted early signs of some of what occurred, in the '90s, 2000s, and 2010-2020. What we saw from where we were (watching but outside of academia for the most part) was ethics departments that seemed most intent on pushing boundaries (arguing for euthanasia, for other kinds of morally forbidden actions in the medical field.) And we saw the early "politically correct" language that started being introduced in the 1980's through university systems. (What can it hurt to protect feelings and be kind to people?). I did extensive graduate studies on some of the "shared movements" traditionally of the left that resulted in a sympathetic paper for which I won an award for Social Sciences paper of the year at American University: Becoming Each Other's Answers.
I examined feminism, environmentalism, human rights, animal rights, civil rights. But as my studies continued I began to see the outlines of the radical demands. What did it for me was when I realized that the radical environmentalists of the '80s wouldn't be happy until we all lived in skin tents, cooked over small fires and foraged for food. That along with a realization that being a woman was not being a feminist. I only had a membership ticket in radical feminism if I was working at a prestigious job, was lesbian, or at least hated my husband.
But in the 80's and 90's these perspectives felt.....radical. Very remote, certainly not mainstream. Some of it was almost silly and 'they can't possibly be serious.'
Well now we see the bigger picture-- they have been serious as a heart attack. Each of these issues is a crowbar being used to break up our majority cultures and fracture our communities and our families. And ultimately fracture our countries where we have loved and nurtured freedom and the personal responsibilities that come with it.
What is the solution? One of the first steps to seeing more clearly we have learned in researching our book COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We are the Prey, is to figure out the major players-- the totalitarians within our own national governments and globally.
Next, measure everything against totalitarianism/collectivism versus individual freedom and responsibility. Finally remember God and remember love. These are the touchstones to finding greater certainty about life in this time of global upheaval.
I personally don't think anything will change back. We're in a societal collapse now. Our healthcare system was the vulnerable back-door to causing the final nail in the proverbial coffin. The intelligence of the average American just isn't up to the job, frankly. The masses are going to get what they think they want good and hard, the rest of us will be lucky to survive. Every communist revolution looked basically the same way. They create chaos, the masses demand security and safety, humane institutions are destroyed and replaced with collectivist ones. I do think there are invisible hands manipulating events, and technology is a critical component of the construct. They will hit the gas, let off, allowing the masses to adjust to the "new normal" then hit the gas again, until total subjugation is achieved.
Bill, these things are not coincidences. They didn't just "happen" at the same time. They were planned, for years. My guess is that all this was supposed to happen after the 2016 election, which was supposed to be the year Hillary was appointed. But Trump turned out to be more popular than even the controllers believed, so he beat Hillary even after all the shenanigans. When this happened, clearly there was "shock and awe" from the controllers. They did everything in their power to keep Trump from accomplishing ANYTHING. It didn't matter whether what he was doing was good or bad, they just went after him relentlessly. They thought they could get him out early, but to no avail. Still, they were able to refine their plans and take him down in the 2020 election. Of course the entirely one-sided all on board media was a HUGE part of that. Once they got Trump out, they implemented the plans they were frustrated to not have implemented earlier. By now, they were really eager and ready. I knew a lot of things were wrong, but what really tipped me off for sure was when Covid "hit" and every single MSM television station all "got together" and had an hours long special to "kick off" the lockdowns. They had superstars (Rolling Stones, etc.) performing for free, even without commercials for hours long. Unheard of. And all the networks and stations were running the exact same thing at the same time. Also unheard of these days. So I knew something was up. Then once we were all locked inside with nothing to do but watch TV, then came the George Floyd incident. I knew right away something was off with that whole scene. First off, when was the last time you saw a TV station broadcast someone being injured or killed without deliberately "blurring out" the video which showed the graphic violence? Almost NEVER. And I mean, they won't even show a 10 second clip without blurring it out. But with Floyd, they had a front row seat video, and never blurred out a thing, didn't cut out a thing, and this went on for 8 minutes or so. And it was on every channel 20X a day for weeks, and was NEVER blurred out! Now you tell me, when have you EVER seen that? NEVER! So that was part of the plan to incite riots and excuse burnings, etc. It was all planned, and it was all deliberate. Then came the well founded BLM "protesters". Amazing how they were able to get from one city to another so quickly - the same people! And while the MSM wanted you to think they were all local protesters who were fed up with racism, the truth is that the same people were being paid to travel and stay in hotels in target cities. And they had Uhaul trailers full of ready made protest signs. They would pull up and quickly unload these props and get out and "protest". These were not signs made up by locals, they were pre-made and shipped in. By this time I knew something was very wrong and planned. It just kept going from there, and as we all know BLM failed to file proper forms and didn't account for their "donations" from woke accomplices. I am sure there were some poor fools that thought they were doing good because the slogan Black Lives Matter sounds so wonderful. But much of the $$ was "donated" by huge corporate accomplices at their stock holder's expense, without ever asking stockholders what they thought, and without ever finding out where the money they sent to BLM was going. Things just continued down from there with the mandates, etc., and censorship and downright evil targeting of people trying to speak truth and save lives. The deliberate taking away of drugs for early treatment that would have saved lives. When have you ever seen that? Have you ever seen the CDC come out with animal commercials making fun of doctors and people trying to prevent disease? Have you ever seen that with the flu? Or anything? No. This was all planned, and planned very well. The real problem here is that there is WAY too much power in the hands of a very few very wealthy people who have managed to take over most politicians and nearly all large federal agencies. I could go on, but I think that is enough for now.
It happened instantly like the instant a sinking ship abruptly goes under. In reality, the ship ha been foundering for quite some time but the water entering and the mayhem going on below decks is invisible from the outside. Then, once too much of the vessel is flooded, it suddenly goes bow under and slips out of view or capsizes and goes down, seemingly suddenly.
The fact is, the genesis for wokism is decades in the past. We just were too busy to take the threat seriously. At best, we pointed and laughed but we DID nothing to stop. We didn’t even try. Meanwhile, they were busy as beavers implementing these policies. When Bill Clinton implemented his “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy in the military all those years ago, we did nothing. Thus we now have the US navy providing correct pronoun use training.
Can we turn it around? Of course we can, just as we could have stopped it. The question is, will we turn this around? I serious doubt it. While there are large numbers of people who just said no against the shots and masks, we are too small a percentage to much, especially as we are not organized and the surveillance grip on all our communications and daily activities tightening by the minute, it will need to be something so spontaneous that they will not be able to thwart it. I hope I am wrong, but it has been a couple of months now since a court in Indian took a child away from its parents because they would not affirm its gender preferences. We did not rise up to stop that travesty, thus I find it hard to believe we will for any other.
Bill, this is a great piece. I hope the next piece has some ideas on how we change it back. Endless numbers of people wish to do so, but the "how" seems completely elusive. Some ideas would be a good place to start.
I agree. It feels like there has been a coordinated effort to change the US. The world has gone mad. My friend said the swamp did not want to be drained so the deep state fought back. Evil, the Devil, communists, the WEF, or whatever you want to believe, I truly think we are in a fight for the soul of America.
I was chatting with my 70-year-old mother last week, and I was lamenting that there are too many issues to focus on. There's the COVID-issue, the trans-issue, the CRT/BLM/race-issue, the taxes/government-issue, the Ukraine-issue, the January 6th/Injustice-issue, the election integrity-issue, the crypto/monetary-issue, and the list goes on and on and on. She thinks history is like a pendulum and that it will swing only so far LEFT before it will start a course correction.
If the "died suddenly" increase continues, maybe there will be a population shift so that things have to change. But will it be back towards freedom? Maybe it has to start locally. Grow a garden, pay off debt, run for the school board or city council, join a church, and pray for God's mercy because we all certainly need it right now.
It has felt to me like the dumbing down of Americans in re health care, patterned after the 'dumbing down' of Americans in education carried out these past 60+ years. Revelations from Charlotte Iserbyt http://deliberatedumbingdown.com/ddd/2021/02/12/green-dress-interview/ I do hope there is a way out of these messes.
Bill, if you're interested in avoiding at least some of the culture shock when the Corruptocracy initiates these pieces of madness, try the Conservative Treehouse aka Last Refuge web site. I've been reading there since early 2015 and it's almost always ahead of the curve on what the bad ones have in store next.
Examples:
- They're "normalizing" gender dysphoria so that they can do more gender surgery and "medicine," especially for minors. Lucrative for Pig Pharma.
- They're pushing CRT so they can do reparations. CA ahead of that curve as usual.
- They're doubling down on the jabs so that they can make them all mRNA instead of what we knew as vaccines (which had actual efficacy and safety).
- They're pushing vegan - but, next step, eat the bugs.
- They're pushing electric vehicles - but, next step, no vehicles at all for you and me, only the Corruptocracy at the top
- They're expanding the nonsense of anthropogenic climate "change" to "crisis" - hence the recent demonization of CO2 and useful ferilizers - next step, worldwide famine
Like a pool player - they play position - the next shot is always lined up...
To me it is evident that Marxists infiltrated every aspect of American society. Bar none. They have gained mass and there is now massive momentum. They want all the evil we see to happen. It is also worldwide.
We need a massive pushback worldwide. We need a worldwide revival. It may be too late. The cancer has metastasized in all organs of society.
Even churches are going woke and pushing much of the woke agenda. Read Romans 1. Everything there is consistent with what is happening.
May we have a revival. If not, reach out to as many people as you can to share the gospel. I am a pre millennial so I am hoping the rapture is getting close.
Exactly right, and this demonstrates how little effective knowledge we have on our own minds.
When I was born in 1949, San Francisco, the consensus among citizens regardless of religion or education was that objective Truth - immutable realities and facts - existed and could always defeat lies over time. This was seen as foundational and vital to our health and success.
But within a generation or two, the opposite view became a legitimate topic of conversation; then it overwhelmed the minds of the “educated, creative, and admired”. Objective Truth has now been slandered, despised, and rejected. Lies and “narratives” have become fashionable and infectious in those with deep character defects.
This is the ultimate source of criminality, ruin, suffering, and death. These people now run drug, entertainment, and other important corporations and they’re globally lawless and dangerous.

Thank you for what you do, Bill.
You still see this. How many people were outraged over gas stoves last week after never thinking of them beforehand?
The good news is that with every ridiculous demand, the ranks get thinner and thinner.
Common decency sacrificed on the throne of "Tolerance".
I have a niece who has to acknowledge the "furries" at her school, less she be labeled a bigot.

“...rules & standards changed overnight....”. That’s how evil 👿 rolls, Bill
