If you are a longtime activist in the Liberty Movement then you are well aware that elections do not matter in terms of the future direction our nation takes. Presidents are puppets of international financiers, and so are most legislators. Whenever a president does attempt to go against the system, he either ends up shot by a “lone gunman,” or his office is disgraced by a conveniently-leaked scandal.
Today, elections represent the illusion of choice; that is all. The leadership of both major parties seem different in terms of their rhetoric, but this is all cosmetic. Underneath the talk, Democrat and Republican leaders are nearly identical in their support for bigger government, more centralization, less constitutional protections, more globalism, more power to international banks and central banks, and less transparency and accountability.
For many decades now, the choice has been between the puppet on the left hand or the puppet on the right hand. This year is proving to be a little different, at least on the face of things, to the point where elections are becoming rather surreal.
For younger generations with limited experience participating in the world of U.S. elections, developments today might seem odd but not outlandish. For older generations of Americans a consensus seems to be forming and the concerns commonly expressed in the mainstream and on the web appear to match – 2016 is turning out to be the strangest presidential election they have ever seen.

Where we need to focus…
written by shutupnsing , April 14, 2016
Thinking and sleeping on the various theories and “what if” scenarios posted on this thread…all good and reasonable assumptions; I’m left thinking, so what? What will it matter to any of us individually. Or, reversing that, what can any of us do about it? I’m thinking that for most of us, our real calling and purpose in this hour is what each of us have the power to do locally. We can stand up in our respective counties, meet our sheriffs, speak truth to power with letters to the editor, supporting local Oath Keepers, engaging the Progressive-Liberal on our turf…and praying that if enough of us can restore sanity at the local level, we might save our selves from the inside out instead of hoping for deliverance from the outside in.
My comment here:
I have approached my local Sheriff, sent him an Oath Keeper type book, and Oath Keeper literature, invited him to lunch (he never accepted) we have a mutual friend and I am speaking to him (the Sheriff) through the mutual friend – I’m not going away…sooner or later I am going to sit down with him and see exactly where he stands on the Constitution (speaking TRUTH to POWER).
I have tried to form 7 Vets into an OK group to no avail…but I have a few I could count on to cover my 6 and me theirs.
Working on my neighbors to get tribal.
The inside out point is well taken.
