It really falls in line with what Yuri Bezmenov said. During the destabilization phase, the communists are seeking to destroy our faith in our traditional institutions. Not just voting, but notice that the police have lost faith on both sides of the aisle. The left hates the military, we aren't sure if we can trust the military. The supreme court is obviously untrustworthy.

The problem is there's really no good solution. I've said before, I wish Yuri were here to give us some kind of guidance. To me, it seems like they set a trap that we have no choice but to walk into. The alternative to the trap is accepting tyranny and the destruction of our country and traditions. So............ what's the answer?

You echo my feelings on this exactly. Every direction feels like some kind of trap. And it feels like no matter what happens, there will be no "win", only some kind of temporary lull. We are heading into total war, one way or another.

If you've read enough history books, then history says that what we're going through has to happen, in some form, every 80-100 years. It's generational: by the time you get a generation or two from a major culture-encompassing war, people start forgetting what was important about those times in history. The same mistakes that led to those wars begin repeating. It seems we're heading into something like a deranged mix between the civil war and WW2 and it's scary. My kid will spend his middle school and teenage years in whatever is coming. And whatever emerges will likely last another 80-100 years.

It's also worth noting that with the internet and various other communication, these cycles are beginning to sync up like nothing before. Whatever is coming out of this will likely be global in nature.

I really don't know the answer. I really don't. All I know is I'm stressed as hell, and have been since about April. Every day my heart feels a little heavier. I tried to be active through donating to the campaign and legal fund, but I'm fairly certain I don't really even have that as an out anymore. (Believe me, I don't think I'd be very useful calling senators. I'd probably break down into tears on the call.)

Yes. It sounds like we are similar personality types. I was already very stressed with covid, as I knew immediately it wasn't just some virus but was actually a move being made by the elite. That was already heavy on my heart, but once the riots started my antenna went into hyperdrive mode. And it was just around that time, May or early June, when I discovered Yuri's videos. I think if you saw my face as I watched those videos, I must have been completely pale. Though I studied history and conspiracy-fact for many years, Yuri's words really made it click for me in a way that nothing else did.

I have been on high alert, tense nervous system, fight-or-flight mode pretty much ever since. I am slightly proud with how I'm handling it. I'm generally looking the boogy man in the eye and pushing forward. However, I can't lie, I'm very afraid of what's to come. Very afraid, nervous, sad, and angry.

I am very excited about the possibility of Trump saving our asses. I'm very hopeful to see millions of us not willing to back down into a corner. And I am infinitely excited for the future we can build if we win. There are so many that have a similar vision as me and you. We can build a truly amazing world if we can get through this critical moment.

Calling might not be your avenue. It isn't for everyone so don't beat yourself up. Or, find a way to do it that suits your personality. Not every call has to be angry, not even e-mail has to be confrontational. There's a soft way to make your voice heard too. Also, learning history, making a meme, researching a post, and talking to a friend is making a difference too. We definitely need the loud mouths and tough guys, but those like you and me have to find ways to help that suit who we are. And probably, we have to get a little tougher too.
