Prepare For The Storm

As the Empire Falls, the Mask Slips, and It's Uglier Than We Thought

From Bible-thumping MAGA officials caught in sex scandals to the looming threats of AI-led job displacement and ecological ruin, the piece weaves together the deep contradictions at the heart of the American right. The message is clear: the rot is everywhere—and it's time to wake up.


It's always the bible thumpers

MAGA hates themselves to the core, and that's why they have this desire to rise to power and get rid of whatever they're hiding inside themselves. Here's a guy who bought a boatload of Trump Bibles for his school district because God needed to be back in the classroom. In his mind, the kids are going to hell because they're "woke." Well, looks like someone got caught with porn, and it wasn't the school kids.

‘This is a bizarre and troubling situation,’ the state’s senate president said
Oklahoma’s Trump-loving top school official, known for mandating Bibles in every classroom, is now facing an investigation after naked women were seen on TVs in his office, according to reports.

These guys wouldn't know Jesus if he came up and bit them on the nose. Jesus would be the first one to tell them to STFU.


Soil health is declining worldwide

Long-time readers know that I worry a lot about climate change, access to clean water, and building parallel societies. I also worry a lot about soil health, as half my family was farmers long ago.

This UN Environment Programme article lists the five reasons why soil health is declining.

Soil supports the vast majority of the food humanity eats. It is one of the most important warehouses of planet-warming carbon. And, according to a recent study in the journal Nature, it is home to nearly 60 per cent of all species. 

The five reasons are: Drought, land degradation, industrial farming, chemicals and pollution, and diet and nutrition. In other words, the current mass food growing processes will kill us in the end when the soil becomes so weak it can't grow food anymore.


AI will come for your job

I used to think this threat was a bit overblown, but I've changed my mind. White collar work, like software development, law, engineering, or just anything that can be distilled into a process, is in danger of being taken over by AI.

Ex-Google CEO explains the Software programmer paradigm is rapidly coming to an end. Math and coding will be fully automated within 2 years and that's the basis of everything else. "It's very exciting." - Eric Schmidt

The scary thing is that these AIs will only be run and created by the Technocracy, the Peter Thiels and Elons of the world. Once their AI robots are ready, they will come after the trades.


Now they're coming for the homeless and mentally ill

Did you think they'd stop at the "illegals?" No, now they're going after the mentally challenged and homeless.

This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants. This is horrifying beyond words. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Mind you, I believe that providing free housing for the homeless and free mental healthcare for anyone who needs it is something we should prioritize. But this? This is just another play out of Nazi Germany in the late 30s and early 40s. They're going to round up these people - whether they're homeless or not - and send them to Aligator Auschwitz. Why? Because Trump's private prison builders and managers need to make money.

I'm concluding that anyone who supports Trump now is irredeemable. When this Fascist regime collapses, we will remember who was MAGA and who was not.


Trump will pardon Maxwell

In an attempt to cover up any involvement with Epstein, I'm betting that Trump will pardon Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for her silence. We all know that this is a travesty of justice, but this is what the majority wanted. They wanted an alleged pedophile and rapist to rule this country with "law and order" that only benefits him and his cronies.

I find it strange that his attorney and the DOJ are rushing to "help" Maxwell, a convicted co-conspirator of Epstein, but not the victims. No rushing to the aid and defense of the girls Epstein raped and the ones Trump allegedly did too. There are plenty of dots to connect and make a clear picture, if you ask me.

Don't let up now. The Trump-Epstein client list scandal can bring his downfall.


Stay Tuned

Keep your eyes peeled for our new Members Only post on Rebooting The Republic this coming Wednesday. Here's a short quote from the article.

I don’t believe that this moment is about despair. It’s about choosing not to sleepwalk through the fall of a republic and calling people forward into something better. We mustn't give in to inertia; we must keep moving forward.

The storm is coming, will you be ready?
