But never mind that right now. Onwards.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cNow remember, when things look bad and it looks like you\u2019re not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. \u2018Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That\u2019s just the way it is.\u201d<\/em> <strong>\u2013 Josey Wales<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cTo hell with them fellas. Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms.\u201d<\/em> <strong>\u2013 Josey Wales<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As our political, economic, civic, and social structures continue to degrade, dissolve, and disintegrate before our very eyes, it is easy to become apathetic and surrender to hopelessness. There are relentless powerful forces actively trying to destroy the fabric of our society and force the masses into economic servitude while caged in an electronic gulag, controlled by an oligarchy of evil totalitarian minded billionaires and their lackeys in key governmental, political, banking, military, media, and corporate positions of power. We are in the same situation as Josey Wales in Clint Eastwood\u2019s epic 1976 film \u2013 The Outlaw Josey Wales.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>An intriguing proposition, that, one I must admit had never occurred to me before\u2014even though I must\u2019ve seen <em>TOJW<\/em> about, oh, eleventy kajillion billion times by now. Even though it\u2019s a long \u2018un, and can be sorta\u2026well, <em>slow<\/em> in places, I still like the movie a lot. Follows in boldface, a fun fact about the film I also didn\u2019t know before.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I found it interesting  <strong>the film was based on the novel Gone to Texas, written with a virulent anti-government slant by a former George Wallace speechwriter. When the script writer\/director tried to tone down the anti-government aspects, Eastwood told him no and eventually fired him, taking over as director for the remainder of the film.<\/strong> Eastwood\u2019s refusal to bow to Hollywood pressure and soften the dialogue and story line is a tribute to his resolute dislike and mistrust of governmental authorities. He has essentially gone his own way and made his films his way, never letting the Hollywood elite dictate his path.<\/p>\n<p>Eastwood equates the plight of the Confederacy with the plight of the American Indian, as both groups were bullied, bloodied and crushed under the weight of the Federal government, which began its unfettered growth during the Civil War and has now reached its zenith of incompetence, arrogance, lawlessness, and hatred towards the citizens it is supposed to serve. Most people just want to be left alone, like Josey Wales, to live their lives in peace and harmony with their fellow community members. But the federal government makes that impossible, with their rules, regulations, taxes, fees, and enforcement thugs harassing the public on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>In Eastwood\u2019s movie they murder his family, murder his comrades, and are hell-bent on murdering him. The song remains the same. Our government murdered people minding their own business at Ruby Ridge. They murdered women and children at Waco. They murdered a rancher at Bundy Ranch. They send young men to war for bankers and corporations. They have been unlawfully imprisoning protestors in dungeons for a fake insurrection fomented and initiated by government agents. They rigged the presidential election and have convicted the leading political candidate of fake crimes he did not commit in order to maintain control over the political system.<\/p>\n<p>The government is in the midst of creating millions of vengeful Josey Wales characters. As political chaos increases in the coming months, the threat of global conflagration escalates and the economic plight of the masses deteriorates, revenge against politicians, government drones, and the globalist financial elite for creating this madness will expand rapidly. We know what Josey Wales would do. The question is what will we do.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Dang, that thorny question just keeps popping up over and over again, don\u2019t it?\u00a0Again: an intriguing notion for sure, one which strongly suggests that you should read the whole thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our friends over at Burning Platform have posted one that seems to be going viral, getting linked all over the place, reposted on Twitter\/X, etc. It kicks off thusly: WHAT WOULD JOSEY WALES DO?
