I don't think society is as bad off as we're being told we are. Our government, the deep state, groups like the Bohemian Grove, they are far more sick than we can imagine.

Human society is better than it has ever been at any other point in history.

What you have here is the classic confusion of "bad" things being much more visible now due to instant communication and 24 hour news cycle, with things ACTUALLY getting worse. In truth it is the opposite. Things aren't getting worse, they are getting better. You are just now aware of much more of the bad s*** that was ALREADY happening, but was not visible.

Let's see.

Slavery was a global institution practiced on all continents, and still alive today, principally in Africa

The Crusades were a series of wars instituted to push an invading army of occupation back out of Europe and elsewhere. A counter-attack to a preemptive war instituted and waged by the Armies of allah.

That is so dramatic and heroic. It harkens to a besieged and beleaguered partisan, heroically fighting the Nazis in WW2, against all odds. Hang in there, comrade, the red army will be there soon to liberate you.


What a laugh!


Obama was one of the most corrupt presidents in US history. Obama brought us Comey and Lynch and created the deep state crew of treasonist federal workers who attempted a coup against Trump.


The rule of law was not applied equally during the Obama admin and "special friends" got away with murder. History, when no longer influenced by the fear of PC liberals, will judge Obama harshly, as he was an ineffective, lazy president who tolerated and fomented corruption. Just another Chicago gangster on a grander scale.


Libs hate Trump, as he is totally transparent and says exactly what is on his mind. We know he is doing the right thing, as the left hates him, and the left is always wrong. When those who hate America, love socialism, hate Jews, and love radical Islam hate Trump, we know he is doing the right thing.


As a matter of fact, I would use liberals as a perfect reverse barometer- if libs hate a politician, they are probably a good one.


Any spelling errors?

We (collectively) have rejected God... God is allowing us to reap the fruit of our sins.

Oh yea? What is he punishing us with? A higher collective average standard of living, less global war/turmoil, and statically lower occurrence of violence than almost any other period in human history? Need more punishment like that please.

Apparently God punishes in an inverse relationship to belief levels, because the middle ages and inquisition were brutal and bad to live in times with extremely high population % belief in God.

Better watch these youngins coming up... you know, the ones brought up on violent images who are now ready to solve their problems with mass murder... the ones who are damaged from pedophilia and human trafficking (which gets zero coverage)... the ones who are confused about their gender... and there's more indicators that I see down the road.

I hope I'm wrong, but it doesn't look good to me on the horizon.
