When are the people going to stop the insanity?

By Matthew Edward Hayward on Saturday, November 21, 2009

This idea that America is free or that the people of this nation have political choices deeply troubles me. I, like Glenn Beck, am a recovering alcoholic. Like Glenn, I, too, have had a massive change in my thinking regarding more than just alcohol. Everyone who suffers from this disease knows and understands that it is possible to be physically free and mentally enslaved. Knowing there is a problem, wanting change, and doing the same thing is insane; welcome to America.

To say that Americans are free is to imply they have the capability or capacity to think for themselves. To me, this is as ridiculous as to say that a drug addict or alcoholic has a choice whether to use drugs or drink. Until the mental terrarium is shattered, it is virtually impossible for new concepts to be introduced or applied. Just because you tell an addict the facts about his predicament and the consequences of his actions, which I might add he or she does not desire, does not change the outcome of their actions or thinking beyond that talk. The bewildered herd is no different. I can explain to a large group of people or individuals of any educational level the social stratification, controls, propaganda, and social engineering that are applied to our society and how they are personally affected by it. What I can't do is get them to recall it and apply it to their lives after I get done explaining and answering their questions.

Until a massive psychological change can occur, followed almost immediately with a solution, it is not generally possible to convince a human being, or more specifically, a technocratic over simulated American, to challenge their beliefs and foundation of being. It pushes up against their psychological comfort zone, often resulting in cognitive dissonance. Sadly, the less educated you are, the harder it is to understand what is happening and how you are being controlled; the more educated you are, the easier it is to justify things based on your unique ability to critically think. Of course, being educated in a vacuum only teaches you how to think within certain parameters, and compartmentalization is key to keeping you blind. The more you think you know, the harder it is to realize you are being deceived and living a lie.

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education. ~Mark Twain

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. ~ unsure

“...most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution.” ― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Few people can express their opinions with equanimity, which differs from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.~ Albert Einstein

Could Today Be the Cheapest Price for Bitcoin Ever Again? Here’s Why

By: Matthew Hayward Current price  Nov 10, 2024 76.72K 80.43K Is Now the Time to Buy Bitcoin? Bitcoin has come a long way since its early days as a niche digital asset. Today, as we enter another phase in its established four-year cycle , Bitcoin may be at a historic high, but it could soon become the new baseline price. This cycle, which has repeatedly shown Bitcoin’s resilience and long-term growth potential, suggests that the current price might be the lowest we’ll see again. While recent political shifts, including Donald Trump’s landslide election victory, have added new momentum and support for Bitcoin, the timing within the cycle itself makes this an ideal moment to consider buying. A Political Shift: From Anti-Crypto to Pro-Crypto For years, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have faced an uphill battle against a U.S. government determined to restrict and control their growth. This opposition was largely led by Gary Gensler, who waged an outright war against crypto from hi...

When Government Demands Papers We Refuse

 By Matthew Hayward  9/19/2025  The Supreme Court just paused a lower court order that had limited federal immigration stops in Los Angeles. That stay lets federal agents resume roving patrols and interior operations that critics say rely on appearance, language, job, or neighborhood to pick people for questioning.  This matters because it normalizes a posture of suspicion. Checkpoints miles inland and roving patrols turn movement inside the country into a condition to be earned rather than a freedom to be enjoyed. The government already claims expanded authority inside the 100-mile border zone. That claim, plus an open green light for stops based on appearance, is a recipe for arbitrary enforcement.  Philosophy of resistance John Locke told us that the consent of the governed is the foundation of legitimate power. When rulers invade life, liberty, or property, or when they become arbitrary disposers of people’s lives and fortunes, the social compact is dissolve...

The National Guard Was Never Meant to Be a Federal Tool

By Matthew Hayward 7/13/2025 Let me say this clearly: the National Guard was created to defend the states, not to enforce the will of the federal government. It was meant to serve as a local militia—an armed extension of the people under the control of the state. The highest authority a Guard member was ever supposed to answer to is their elected governor, not a bureaucrat in Washington, not a federal agency, and certainly not a sitting president weaponizing military force on domestic soil. Yes, I know the laws have changed. I know the Montgomery Amendment, the National Defense Act, and the Supreme Court's decision in Perpich v. DoD rewrote the rules. But legal doesn’t mean constitutional. Gradualism doesn’t legitimize usurpation. You don’t get to trample foundational principles and call it progress. What’s happening now—federalizing state forces to deploy them in cities without gubernatorial consent—is blasphemous. It's an insult to the very spirit of the Constitution. The ...
