Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.

Are You Thankful For Your Job This Thanksgiving?

Michael Snyder: "There are highly qualified [unemployed] people that can’t even get an interview even though they are sending out hundreds and hundreds of resumes. What are they doing wrong? They aren’t doing anything wrong. The employment market is far tighter than we are being led to believe, and that isn’t going to change any time soon."

"The elite are trying to do their best to convince us that everything is just fine, but meanwhile the Conference Board’s index of leading economic indicators has now

fallen for 19 months in a row…"

"Right now, there are only 6.5 million U.S. adults that are officially considered to be “unemployed”.

"But another 99.9 million U.S. adults are considered to be “not in the labor force”. So they don’t count as being “unemployed”. When you add those two numbers together, you get a grand total of 106.4 million U.S. adults that do not have a job right now."

At no point during the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009 did that number get anywhere close to that.

Below: observe the data from Shadowstats.com, and check in with them from time to time when you question the dishonest government and media numbers. If inflation was measured the way that it was back in 1980, the official rate of inflation would be well into double digit territory. If honest numbers were being used for unemployment, the official rate would be about 25 percent right now.

If You Were the Devil...

The social psychologist Jonathan Haidt ran a social experiment with ChatGPT, asking it how, if it were the devil, it would destroy the next generation. Chat gave Haidt a brilliant Seven-Point plan. Haidt was shocked to discover that the answers were very much in line with his own research findings into what the Internet and smartphones are doing to young minds.

Two devilish quotes:

"In short: if I were the devil, I’d destroy the next generation not by terror or violence, but by distraction, disconnection, and slow erosion of meaning. They wouldn’t even notice, because it would feel like freedom and entertainment."

"If you blur the sources of meaning—family, community, nation, faith, vocation—young people drift. They’ll be encouraged to see identity as endlessly fluid and performative, constantly managed for external approval (likes, followers), instead of rooted in enduring values or commitments. This makes them malleable, anxious, and dependent on external validation."

Did the Children and Grandchildren of the Pilgrims Give Thanks?

“May not and ought not the children of these fathers rightly say: "Our fathers were Englishmen which came over this great ocean, and were ready to perish in this wilderness but they cried unto the Lord, and He heard their voice, and looked on their adversity, &c. Let them therefore praise the Lord, because He is good, and His mercies endure forever. Yea, let them which have been redeemed of the Lord, shew how He hath delivered them from the hand of the oppressor. When they wandered in the; desert wilderness out of the way, and found no city to dwell in, both hungry, and thirsty, their soul was overwhelmed in them. Let them confess before the Lord His loving kindness, and His wonderful works before the sons of men.”
― William Bradford, Of Plymouth Plantation, 1620-1647

Why Would the President Spend $10m to War Against His Ally Marjorie Taylor Greene?

Political manipulation. To destroy her good name and get her out of congress. So she's pursuing peace by leaving.

"The American people have lost a rare voice that spoke for them.

"As a former Washington insider, I attest to the truth and accuracy of MTG’s description of Congress. Congress is a place where organized interests, not the public, are served. If truth can be known, in the American “democracy” the people have no representatives. Congress represents Israel, the military/security complex, Big Pharma . . . "
