| [Alt-Market] Not long ago at the height of fear over the global pandemic the US underwent a change that many people argued would never happen. For years I have heard people say that authoritarian controls in America are "tinfoil hat conspiracy theory" and doom mongering — All the prepping, all the talk of community organizing, all the guns and the gear and the training were for nothing. Then...the covid agenda hit like a freight train. Our constitutional rights were no longer set in stone, but mere guidelines that government officials could bend or break in the name of "public health safety." Laws no longer had to be passed through a series of checks and balances; mandates could be implemented as if they were laws without public oversight and enforced unilaterally. There was talk (primarily among Democrats) of severe punishments for people who refused the pointless covid vaccines. They wanted vaccine passports, they wanted prison time for those that spoke publicly against the vax, they wanted people’s jobs taken away, they wanted their children taken away, and there were even plans to build covid detention centers to segregate and lock up "vax deniers." It boggles the mind, but this was serious debate within the US and it was all triggered in the span of a year. Nearly half the country was willing to abandon the Bill of Rights over a virus with a survival rate of 99.8%. The conspiracy theorists were right all along; our freedoms rest on a razor’s edge and preparing to survive and fight for those freedoms is perfectly rational. Luckily, the covid agenda failed. The mandates were ultimately blocked by red states and in many rural areas they were barely enforced at all. Biden’s vaccine passport attempt was stopped cold by the Supreme Court, but I have long believed that the Supreme Court made this decision exactly because of the level of public resistance. They knew if they pressed the issue, civil war was on the table. Medical authoritarianism collapsed because conservatives and independents were not onboard and they could not be shamed into compliance. But what happens when there is a crisis that DOES scare conservatives? What happens when the political right perceives a true threat? Does freedom then become untenable? |

| #7 /\ Indeed. The notion of a self-sufficient agrarian society is an anathema to the ruling Washington elite. |

| #6 It will also accelerate the divide between the rulers and the ruled. Deep State is anti-Israel, the population as a whole is more pro-Israel. |

| #3 Wider War Will Bring Inevitable Attempts At Martial Law In America Nonsense. The Bureaucracy rules perfectly well without involving the military. In fact, from the super-incompetent way WOT was conducted - the Bureaucracy has a complete control of the military. |

| #2 Don't you know it. It's not if, but when. The particular 'what' might be hard part. |

| #1 Some sort of domestic crisis or devastating event will be necessary to set the constitution and State's Rights aside in order that the transformation to begin. The 'greater good' must prevail. |
