Charles Dickens’ novel “A Tale of Two Cities” opens in such a way that many an American can identify with one or the other right now.
“It was the best of times; it was the worst of times” the famous opening line.
And here we are looking at that quote – and fully living it.
If you’re still allowing mass consciousness and mainstream interpretations to cloud your path of the truth however, you are probably living in the worst of times.
To that end, close your eyes and ask yourself why?
A country is only as strong as its weakest link.
And the links are snapping together fast if you haven’t noticed.
In fact, all of Trump’s choices were confirmed – the last one being Kash Patel on Friday to head the FBI.
For the FBI’s Deputy Director (I hope the blue people’s heads don’t explode on this one), Sunday night Trump named Dan Bongino to that seat (www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/ex-secret-service-agent-and-conservative-media-personality-dan-bongino-picked-as-fbi-deputy-director/ar-AA1zDGkH?ocid=BingNewsSerp).
Bongino was a former U.S. Secret Service agent, and he has a popular conservative podcast.
Ukraine’s Zelensky announced he would be willing to step down over the weekend too.
He and Trump have been having discussions, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see beyond the story.
With the US administration closing the purse that has been bulging with war money, Mr. Z has realized he has gotten as much as he’s going to get from Daddy Warbucks.
And from Daddy Warbucks to king.
I’m referencing of course the photo passed around of Trump wearing a crown.
Did he do it just to goad the other side of the aisle? I confirmed the photo was posted to the official White House Instagram with the news, “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!” – President Donald J. Trump” (gvwire.com/2025/02/19/official-white-house-account-declares-trump-king-in-latest-post).
Going back to my reference “the best of times and the worst of times” – is Trump taking the character of King George III on the throne from the setting of that book?
After all, the timing was set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution.
Now we here in America certainly do not want a revolution.
We also don’t want a king.
Nor do we want a deep state (at the moment we are likely just seeing the minions exposed) taking billions of taxpayers’ dollars by way USAID, Social Security, or maybe even the IRS – that’s just the short list.
Other things the United States didn’t want either but got – a sitting president who was not mentally competent to sit in the big boy chair during the last administration, and we shouldn’t have been okay with the Smith-Mundt Act being repealed by Obama allowing for media propaganda, or an Ex-CIA director running the country.
The layers of deep state are finally being peeled back, perhaps that too coincides with the lifers who are kicking and screaming as they are being peeled of their untruths.
After all, the rot runs deep – and it began while many of us were still in diapers.
Meanwhile, trillions of dollars in debt later… and I see people ranting or just looking shell-shocked at the America they thought they knew.
And has anyone noticed lately when you look up a topic to research (on Google for example), searches come up with fact checking as the main answer.
NOT REPORTING, and I will ask again – who is fact checking the fact checkers?
And remember, the fact checking is being done by the mainstream media outlets that have been busted for being paid by USAID funds.
That’s a pretty easy paper trail to follow right to a big fat dead end, as in “do you own research anywhere but mainstream media.”
And while you’re down there, ask yourself when did the red and blue division become a full-on fight to win at any cost?
Was it when mainstream media told the viewing public who to hate and who to like using manipulated sound bites?
Why do people single each other out by religion, or politics or if a person is vaxxed, or their sexual preference?
Trump may have an agenda, but I am 99% sure it’s not the same one the deep state babies have been sucking their thumbs on since possibly the 1950s.
In fact, research “social engineering” – it equates to sheep mentality.
And (spoiler alert), it did not just begin on Jan. 20.
Perhaps you just didn’t know where to look.
And even if you hate Trump and his dream team – they are exposing the heck out of everything.
Social engineering; a technique implemented to exploit a person’s innate psychological vulnerabilities while manipulating emotions and exploiting trust.
Fear is used, and it’s been proven individuals are more likely to comply with a demand by someone who is perceived as an authority figure, like doctors for example.
Did you know in 1983 there were only 10 childhood vaccines – by 2013 there were 32 – and in 2022 that number reached 74?
Enter Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, who has been told by Trump to stop the insanity.
I’m taking a front row seat to watch the shrill cry of all those pharma companies (talking to you Pfizer) squealing because they know the gig is up.
Even more painful is that about right now, all the puppets in DC who the lobbyists pay money to can’t help. Nope, those people are scrambling (on both sides of the aisle) to figure out how to either hide under a rock until the smoke clears (highly suggested) or shake and dance around to come up with a story about the magic water they drank to know how to turn $100,000 into $200m (we see you Nancy).
Whether you want change or not, it’s sweeping the country.
And simply rattling your cage in this new era is not the answer.
Rallying for positive support to affect the change you want to see IS the answer.
And this goes for either side of the aisle.
Otherwise, you’re going to end up losing it all like Maine’s governor Janet Mills might have done last week when she defied Trump’s Executive Order regarding transgender athletes.
In a White House event with state’s governors, Mills told Trump she would see him in court in a tense exchange.
She apparently will (www.npr.org/2025/02/21/nx-s1-5305108/trump-janet-mills-maine-transgender-athletes) to the tune of possibly losing her state’s federal funding.
Maine’s Republican State Representative Katrina Smith said she saw this coming. “We cannot let the President take away our federal funding,” said Smith, “so again the adults need to come to the table with the Trump administration and figure out the way for us to not lose our funding.”
Indeed, it’s time the adults met at the table to figure out how to override the low-vibrational victim mentality that’s taken hold of many in the US.
The best of times, the worst of times – and only you can choose.
