TR 680 - On Trump's Spectacular Speech and How MAGA Wins

In the beginning…

The whole world had gone mad.

Reflecting on it, everywhere we looked people were covering their faces with worthless face diapers, recoiling from handshakes, afraid to stand too close, scared of crowded spaces, and following all sorts of absolutely ridiculous new “rules” — like social distancing with those stupid little stickers in the stores, getting testing like lab rats with those nasty little nose swabs, contact tracing, quarantines, and on and on.

What’s more, at the peak of this insanity, now nearly five years in the rearview, people were not allowed to visit their loved ones, go to the movies, go to church, enjoy family dinners, walk in the woods, play in the parks, et cetera—and MOST people, by far, went along with it the whole damn time.

I was not one of them.

I never got swabbed or accepted these new rules. I didn’t follow those stupid dots. I’ve never been tested for Covid-19. I’m not going to rehash or recount it all now, but I wanted to briefly reflect on the covid plandemic, shamdemic, scamdemic, because that’s the context for when the Torch Report started.

That’s where I’m coming from when I say, “RESIST WE MUST!”

With that in mind, it seems impossible to account for everything that has happened in life, from the personal to the national levels, since March 2020. I’d suggest taking some time to reflect on it, to reconnect with what life was like, for you personally, before the whole world got turned upside-down.

I went to March 2020 in my Google photos, and it was a disturbing time warp.

Remember this?

I remember thinking: why are people panic buying toilet paper for a respiratory illness? There were SO many things that didn’t make a lick of sense—but at that time, I still didn’t have a clue about how far the rabbit hole would go. On that note, it’s probably worth taking a little trip a little further down memory lane:

“Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.”—George Santayana

February 2020 had been a highly eventful month. Bernie Sanders had won the Democrat primaries in New Hampshire (because nobody liked Joe Biden) and the Iowa caucuses were subsequently delayed. Donald Trump had been impeached by the House but was acquitted by the Senate. Political theater consumed the news.

Outside of that, for the low-information voters, February 2020 had been peppered with stories about mass shootings in multiple places, swarms of killer bees, “ruptured gas lines” in Texas, leaky sewage in Florida, and news that the Boy Scouts were going bankrupt—but that was all just the noisy din of headline news.

The real story was that Donald Trump was rocking the political establishment, and both parties, in cahoots with the global cabal, were desperate to stop him.

To further set the stage, consider the fact that on February 12, 2020, the economy was booming and the stock market was at a record high. President Trump had delivered record-
