That's really the most important message our rulers are sending: "You better not stand up to authority - if you do, this is what will happen to you." So the Evil Empire has intimidated and largely silenced the requisite leaders who would have to lead the resistance to their rule. They effectively neutralized all of our potential power pieces in this geopolitical, 3-D game of chess that's taking place.

History repeating itself. In the mid 18th century, England had lost a great deal of money fighting a series of discretionary endless wars that were not necessary to England's survival. (sound familiar?). One of the last was The French and Indian War here in North America.

Then to refill their coffers, they put the screws to their own people and colonies...Then they started sending the message to not stand up to authority or bad things will happen to you...They made examples out of a few colonists here and other citizens.

Its kind of fun to watch it all happen again in real time...I just wish we weren't the British this time! I always preferred the story when we were the Americans 🤪
