His complaint with the rich men north of Richmond is not that they are rich they want to control absolutely it's that they want to control absolutely everything they want to run everything they think they are Lords of the Earth the issue is not their wealth the issue is what they want to do with it they just think they're the issue is that they just think that they are all that.

Oliver Anthony's appeal to Psalm 37:12-20.  

The wicked plot against the righteous and nash their teeth at them.  But the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming.  The wicked draw the sword and then the bow to bring down the poor and needy to slay those whose ways are upright but their swords will pierce their own hearts and their bows will be broken.  Better the little that have righteousness than the wealth of many.  Wicked for the power of the wicked will be broken but the Lord upholds the righteous that a blameless spend their days under the Lord's care and their inheritance will endure forever.  In times of disaster, they will not wither; in days of famine, they will have plenty, but the wicked will perish.  Though the Lord's enemies are like the flowers of the field, they will be consumed and they will go up and smoke. 

Notice in the psalm that he chose, the issue is not the conflict between the wealthy and the poor; the issue is conflict between the wicked and the poor and needy.  The issue is the violence the coercion the manipulation, the wickedness in high places.  That's what James is talking about when he says, "the wages you withheld from your laborers crying out against you the Lord is at the door.  God will judge the insolence who walk all over the poor.  And to those fastidious Christians who kind of liked Oliver Anthony central point but believe that he wrecked it by saying bullshit, oh, good grief. 

The issue is insolence by those whose eyes are fat like grease.

Now we'll know the proportion of idiots in our midst. Folks, it’s this simple. If Covid vaccines worked, they would have worked. We wouldn’t be talking about any of this. It all would have ended two years ago.

My message to everybody is don't comply.  If you're asked to wear a mask to get food, to use a bathroom, to get on a flight, don't comply.  Don't just resist, but make a scene.  Make a big, bad scene.  We get the government that we put up with.  Put a dent in the pocketbook of any store or airline or restaurant.  Don't comply.  Do without.  Go without.  Just as companies have policies, so do you, don't you?  When they claim, "Oh, Sir, we have a policy," reply, "Oh, good.  So do I."  Use the "I."  Make it stand up.  It'll help you stand for yourself.  Use "I."  I refuse.  I find your policy appalling.  I find your policy criminal.  And then write a letter describing the incident to the manager if the person who denied you your God-given rights, protected by law, were taken from you.  Don't let people take things from you anymore.  Please.  Those whom you love need you to fight.  We're not all in this together.  It's only your loved ones that matter.  if you get injured, is the "we" going to come to your rescue?  No.  Is the governor of your state?  No.  Is the sick-looking public health officer going to come and help you?  Ha!  Don't make me laugh.  No.  Throw off that promise that complying is you doing something good for society.  Society is not going to reward you.  To the collective, no good deed goes unpunished.  Don't do it, or don't do anything for the greater good.  There is no greater good than your life, and your health, than the role you play to your loved ones.  Be a strong friend and resist.  Be an example.  Be that ally.  Be a sister on behalf of your older sister or brother.  Be a mother that your sons can respect.  Defend your rights.  Because the government will not do that.  Look at what's happened in Maui.  Look at what's happened in Palestine, Ohio.  Look at what is happening with the price of everything.  You've got to stop obeying the tyrannical government.

plans for an “American village” were revealed, aimed at sheltering US conservative families fleeing political and religious persecution.

I follow on Youtube a Christian family of 4 who moved from Australia to Russia to escape from what's going on in liberal Australia and to do their own farming. Many thought they were crazy, but they love it, the freedom, the safety, the values. Americans would be shocked.

Australian family of 4 relocates  to Russia.

Hawaii is a state when it suits the US, but a sovereign and alone when they need help.

Wreaks of foul play to high heavens. The enemies of the people (corporate media) are not reporting on this... https://t.co/zBlXnqrKhP

Her point about the sirens was good. And yes, another migration for jobs on the mainland, California, Arizona, Nevada. Heard yesterday that a lot of ex-Hawaiians live & work in Vegas, kind of a sister city. Had no idea.

The people of Lahaina are left sleeping on the sidewalk of local shopping centers while their federal government gives hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. The entirety of aid projects happening in Lahaina are being organized by the community — not the government.

WEF and Bill Gates-funded Apeel already in use at CostCo & WalMart. BTW, Oprah Winfrey & Katy Perry are investors. How nice

Beware of WEF and Bill Gates-funded Apeel - the dangerous new food coating that can't be washed off. Even if your food is organic. And it’s already in use. Here’s what you can do. #WEF #AlexJones #Truth
