You can’t have a civilization without civility. We may possess technology that is more advanced than any previous generation of Americans has had, but when it comes to how we treat one another and how we conduct ourselves, we are the worst generation in U.S. history by a very wide margin.
We have truly become a “Hollywood culture”, and I don’t mean that in a good way. The average American spends 238 minutes a day watching television, and it is inevitable that putting so much garbage into our minds is going to result in garbage coming out. Most Americans learn how to express themselves by emulating what they see on their screens, and so now we have tens of millions of extremely crude people running around all over the place.
If you spend any time in public at all, you know exactly what I am talking about. Most Americans dress like slobs, act like pigs and endlessly spew profanity wherever they go.
This is something that Mark H. Creech discussed in an article that he published this week…
While at the grocery store this week, a woman was ahead of me in the checkout line using the word, “Mother F&*#@%.” To the left of me, in another line, was a different woman on her cell phone. I could overhear her saying to someone, “F&$#” this, and “F*#@” that. I felt that I was drowning in a cesspool of profanity.
Recently, my wife said she was in the checkout line at Walmart, and a man was using such language without any inhibitions. Not being the kind of person to hold back, Kim said to him, “Sir, would you please not use that language? There are children present.” To which the man defiantly replied, “No!” His companion then backhanded him on the arm and said to, “Cut it out.” That was the end of it.
Sadly, it has gotten to a point where even our national leaders are not afraid to use profanity.
Earlier this week, it was being reported that Kamala Harris used profanity while engaged in a heated discussion about the crisis in Afghanistan…
Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly refused to stand alongside Joe Biden as he addressed the nation on the Afghanistan chaos, allegedly saying “you will not pin this shit on me” despite her massive role in Biden’s US troop withdrawal decision.
Before Biden gave an 18 minute speech to justify his decision to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan as the Taliban took over the country, Kamala Harris reportedly refused to stand alongside him as he spoke. “You will not pin this shit on me,” Harris reportedly said. However in April, Harris had bragged that she played a key role in Biden’s decision to withdraw, as was reported by Politico. She even confirmed that she was the last person in the room with the President during the major discussion regarding his decision to pull out US troops by September 11.
And profane language that Joe Biden once used about Afghanistan received renewed attention this week because of the drama unfolding in Kabul…
According to Holbrooke, when Biden was asked about America’s obligation to maintain their presence in Afghanistan to protect vulnerable civilians, he scornfully replied by referencing the US exit from southeast Asia in 1973.
‘**** that, we don’t have to worry about that. We did it in Vietnam, Nixon and Kissinger got away with it.’
Of course foul language is not just limited to one side of the aisle.
Our leaders like to consider themselves the pinnacle of civilization, and they have often criticized the Taliban for tearing down historical statues and forcing women to wear masks.
But over the past year, far more statues have been torn down inside the United States than the Taliban ever dreamed of tearing down, and at this point we are forcing everyone to wear masks.
Critics say that the Taliban does not allow freedom of speech, but when Taliban officials were asked about this they simply pointed out that Facebook is even worse when it comes to freedom of speech.
And they are right.
Critics say that the Taliban treats women horribly, and that is certainly true.
But women are treated shamefully in our nation too. Here is one example…
A creep groped a woman on a Brooklyn street this week — and then pummeled her when she tried to fight back, disturbing new video shows.
The 26-year-old woman was walking at the corner of South 4th Street and Havemeyer Street in Williamsburg around 2:15 a.m. Saturday when a stranger approached from behind and grabbed her buttocks, video released by cops early Tuesday shows.
When the woman attempted to slap the suspect, he socked her in the face multiple times, the clip shows.
And here is another example…
The woman and her boyfriend were on their way to the Chicago Transit Authority Red Line subway at State Street and Jackson Boulevard Saturday night. They were waiting for the elevator at ground level to go down to the platform.
But they never made it. Instead, trouble found them, surrounded them, and attacked them.
They were viciously assaulted by a large gang of teens, and the woman was pummeled so badly that she actually needs plastic surgery…
“I need plastic surgery, because the bones are broke, and still bleeding inside,” the woman said.
The scars and bruising are concealed behind the shades the woman now wears over her eyes. But the pain is deeper.
Murder rates were way up all over the country last year, and they are way up again all over the country this year.
We have become a brutal, violent, blood-soaked country, and that is because we have a brutal, violent, blood-soaked culture.
At one time the U.S. could lecture the rest of the world about morality because we lived in a civilized society. But now we have lost whatever moral high ground we once possessed, and at this point, we need the rest of the world to lecture us.
So what is going to happen as the thin veneer of civilization that we all take for granted on a daily basis continues to steadily disappear? I am deeply, deeply concerned about our future, and this is a theme that I explored in my new book entitled “7 Year Apocalypse”. We are in a highly advanced state of social decay, and it is getting worse with each passing year.
In recent days, I have heard so much criticism of the Taliban’s culture, and many of those criticisms are right on target.
But our culture is detestable too, and it has become that way because of the choices that we have made as a society.

What is Amerika going to look like? It’s going to look like Jonestown on steroids once the fauxcine does it’s dirty work,there will be tens of millions of bloated corpses everywhere,the stench of death will forever be in your nostrils if you are “lucky” enough to still be alive. I had a dream 25 years ago that people were dying everywhere, and I saw a body on the ground still moving and I said ”this one is still alive” and a man in a white suit looked at me and took a notepad out of his pocket and wrote on it with a pen and held it out for me to see,and it said Dead,Dead,Dead. When I woke up in the morning the stench of death was in my nose from the dream. It was a dream I can never forget.
What Is America Going To Look Like If This Continues?
Welcome to circa 1939 Poland / Germany.
Of course, it could be worse… Fascism could become obvious.

from Exodus 2 —
“…when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian?”
If you deal with these infractions — discretely, efficiently, and with decorum — the 99%’ers are no longer going to be able to tell the difference between the good Samaritan, the authoritarian, and the criminal element. They are born losers, who consider the winner to be the “primary aggressor” according to the law of the slaves.
After this winter the country will fall apart after millions die from the Covid shots.
Chaos will take over. Pray that Jesus will deliver you and your loved ones from what is coming.

What will America look like?
The prophecies say it will look like the world did in the days of Noah, along with the rest of the world it is a part of.
They have set the stage for mass deaths thru fake vaccines that they will control when you die by activating the RNA with a electronic signal and it won’t show that you died of anything other than what they did. NO trail back to them on the surface.
Soon, we’ll look like China.
I don’t know about this winter, but if large numbers of covid jab deaths ever start playing out, and/or if millions and millions of families have learned they could die out because they have root and branch been rendered sterile, you may assume martial law, mass round ups, lockdowns with shoot-on-sight orders for violations, and summary executions, for a brief while anyway. Then, all hell would absolutely break loose. This doesn’t even include all the other situations that could occur in the chaos. The truth is, no one knows what could happen, including TPTB. The good news there are too many of us for them to achieve total success. That’s why the State is hell-bent on everyone getting the jab now, even newborns.
The smart thing to do is to avoid the jab, start prepping and keep prepping, take measures to improve your survival situation, stay informed, and pray more.
On the other hand, nothing may happen except the State totally and completely dominates our lives.
“What will America look like?”
One word; POVERTY…
Damn! I thought we were done listening to Cuomo on tee vee.
As I read this…I laughed.
Snyder claims to know the Lord God…yet I have to ask, does this nimrod read the bible, the actual word of God….or does he just like to run his mouth of meaningless crap.
All one needs to do is to see what the Christ said.
Luke 17:26-30
New King James Version
26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
Now why is this happening, well for one, God has ordained these days….yet again lets look to scripture.
Matthew 24:12
New King James Version
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
So again I ask does the nimrod, Snyder read the word of God…for if he did he would preach the truth, yet as all children of the devil, he spreads despair and angst.
Buckle up heathens, the days are going to grow worse.
America will die just like all great empires do.And the nail in the coffin was GREED
America will die just like all great empires do.
Yes, it will. But that doesn’t mean it will be soon. One has to fight to keep what one wants or needs, this is no different.
And the nail in the coffin was GREED.
No, it was also Apathy.
If you’re too scared to stand up and fight, the end result is – a future you deserve.
“There is no plan. There is no actual grand narrative. Think about what may happen later, but live, learn, and act in the now. Look into the dark corners that narratives want to forget and that make you uncomfortable. Don’t ignore the truth just because it doesn’t agree with the world you want, because it’s the world you’re going to get.”
― Vinay Gupta, The Future We Deserve
I didnt cuss until I started hanging out with Joe Rogan.?
I hope all of you f*cking idiots know that I will be laughing my ass off while you gasp for your last breath as Covid takes the (dim) light from your (slow) eyes. You people are too stupid to live, and Covid is quickly making sure that’s the case. Please, hurry up and get infected so the rest of us can lose the masks as get back to normal. You dumbass morons are a drain on society, and the rest of us will be so much better off when you’re gone. ??
B.F. Skinner demonstrated in an experiment that if you continue to add rats to a confined space, like humans in our big cities, at some point one additional rat will result in the entire population going berzerk. Is my synopsis of Skinner’s experiment too simplistic – how do you explain the behavior in our big cities?
Population densities are a part of it, but the demographics of the big cities has to be considered as well.
Howdy CR,
Yep, a similar thing happens every so often in the Amazon. With the yearly flooding it happens that isolated oxbow form cutoff from the river proper. As is the case, a percentage of the population of fish thereby isolated are Pirhana. Now you think that there would immediate ensue carnage in the pond…not so.
For a time things stay pretty normal. However, IF that oxbow is slightly elevated above the river level then bit by bit the pond begins evaporating. Natives who occasionally witness the ensuing spectacle describe it as ghastly. Abruptly, once the water level has fallen past a minimum, suddenly everything in the water goes berzerk… especially the apex predators, the Pirhana.
In a matter of minutes everything left in the water is either dead or dying.
The moral of both our stories is as the Giga-Rich continue strip-mining every monetary source in sight then sooner or later the tipping point is reached much as described jointly by us both and with no apparent transition Hell suddenly breaks loose. In previous years such only happened regionally…but with the interconnectedness of the Gkobal economy today there won’t remain a single corner of ‘Civilization’ that isn’t obliterated by the oncoming Steamroller.
Make ready…or meet your Maker. Life is solely Pass/Fail with no in between grading permitted.
JOG
With the addition of variables might help explain your quandry.
Add to the experiment (actually, take away from), by removing support for the necessities of living (ie., food & water) and then watch what happens.
Too much of one, not enough of the other, with no way out, compounded with unstablity of mind.
Coming soon to your favorite city soon (enough)
Does this site allow full discussion of all truths? The ,ahem, dark truth of some cities- the problem is some are born with criminal proclivities. The actual Intelligence Quotient is, on average, in Africa, 67. Yes, it’s that bad.
Yes we are truly living in lawless times. The outcome of ww ii was the Nuremberg Code yet as a species we have learned nothing. People are threatened, coerced and in some places forced to take a radically experimental injection loaded with aborted baby fetus material, heavy metals and God knows what else. A large percentage of the population lines up to take these injections not knowing and probably not caring about the ingredients. They sacrifice their children to their false science god making matters worse. And children are not even threatened by this virus. And it is not even real science but lies! They have never had a reliable test to determine if anyone had the supposed virus. They have never had an isolate of the supposed virus. If the injections work why do vaccinated people get the disease and die? If the injections work why do the vaccinated need to wear masks? If the injections work why are areas where the majority of people are vaccinated have the highest rate of the disease, death, hospitalizations and sickness? Why are the areas where the people are not injected with the aborted baby fetus material from 1968 the healthiest? I could never have imagined the brutality and criminality taking place in western civilization in places such as the Canada, UK, France and Australia. Over the past 60 years the USA has fought in so many sh*thole places. Yet if I were the president of this nation we would be militarily intervening in the UK, Canada, France and Australia to liberate those great peoples of disgusting despotism. And things are not much better here and from our own disgusting despots things only promise to get worse. And to think the fda is supposedly going to approve the radically experimental aborted baby fetus material injections without having done any long term studies. “Don’t talk to your neighbor… you are not allowed in the grocery store without proof of having had an aborted baby fetus material injection… don’t say hello to anybody in the grocery store… you are not allowed to leave your home…” Are you f*cking kidding me!? IMO, There is no legitimate law any more. The amount of pure non sense being spewed by supposed authorities is extremely reckless, careless and dangerous at best but calling it mass murder genocide seems to be the consensus of the best and brightest from every respected disciplinary realm, but now are censored to the peripheral of our society. It would seem we are truly in biblical times such as one above has said. The sick psychotic clown show is such a joke I could go on and on but will stop here.
