Charles Hugh Smith | Of Two Minds Monopolies, quasi-monopolies and cartels are inherently exploitive and thus evil. Bill Gates, Francis Collins, Anthony Fauci What was "normal" for the past two decades was to turn a blind eye to the moral and financial bankruptcy of the American culture, the rot at the heart of its social, political and economic orders. The pandemic has shredded the putrid facade and … [Read more...]
Less Veiled Faces After Weeks of COVID-19
May 16, 2020, 2:11 pm by Leave a Comment
Dear Fellow Christian, It seems, one of the things occurring in this time is that our very outer layers, the facades we are used to wearing, at work, at school, events, etc., are now less fed by use. Thinning and becoming more transparent, perhaps they are falling off like spent leaves. It may be getting clearer that we are either demonstrating, or "manifesting" the Holy Spirit, or being made more vulnerable to … [Read more...]
Economic Shutdown is Bringing Americans Together Against Tyranny
April 28, 2020, 5:29 pm by Leave a Comment
For those that are not students of history and not knowledgeable about the U.S. Constitution and our country’s founding, the general public view on most political issues tends to be dependent on one’s personal experiences or world view. Many people have a hard time relating to political issues that do not have a direct effect on them or their immediate family. A disconnect seems to be present when there is no … [Read more...]
National Day of Prayer, May 7, 2015
May 7, 2015, 9:23 am by 2 Comments
The free and independent United States of America is becoming lost. It is overrun with truly evil, truly spiritual schemes involving government paternalism, globalism, and the perversion of what is deemed "liberal" in our society. Today, it is being intentionally destroyed and we, enslaved by a few, even by some Americans. What better day to pray for salvation than this day? National Day of … [Read more...]
‘The Giver’ Shows Where ‘Net Neutrality’ Leads; Keeps on Giving if You Want it Too (video)
February 26, 2015, 8:48 pm by 1 Comment
It is almost March and catching wind of the new ruling called "Net Neutrality," I am beginning to be frightened. Some may be reminded of the opening line of a story; just borrowed it. It's a story about what happens toward the end of the road down which today's ruling has just pushed us. Call it... Book Burning 2.0, with a technocracy update, in a muted, camel's-head-in-the-tent fashion, pardon the mixed … [Read more...]
The Giver, the Movie, Out on Disc, Suggested
November 29, 2014, 12:59 pm by 2 Comments
It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened. And so the story beings. Written two decades ago, it has been called the first dystopian novel for youths, something notable to Gulag Bound. While it was still fresh on the scene, Jeff Bridges began seeking to make a movie of it, at first hoping his father Lloyd could play its elder lead. Sixteen years later he received that role, … [Read more...]
Seriously? You Expect Me to be Thankful for This?
November 27, 2014, 4:16 pm by 3 Comments
PolitiJim's Rants for Reasonable People As I write this, I’m unable to be with my family today, have numerous personal struggles, and have friends who are struggling to eat – much less walk in the fullness of their calling and careers. On the national front, we see not only record poverty and unemployment, but - perhaps far worse - a poverty of character and moral compass that we as a nation used to be able … [Read more...]

Follow-up to "Pastors Ordered to Submit Sermons to Government in Houston; Degeneracy Brings Authoritarianism" The hashtag #4Huston5 is what some of us are using now in Twitter and #HustonWeHaveAProblem is what Twitter was blocking, something exposed in the following D.C.

Is America’s Solution Found by Republicans Learning from Young Libertarians?
October 2, 2014, 2:04 pm by 1 Comment
The Sovereignty Campaign (SovCam.org) Do Republicans need to listen to more libertarian-oriented millennials? Definitely. Everyone who makes sense needs to listen to everyone else who does. But have libertarians learned something new, missing in America's founding and history, something ignored by our founders, or for that matter those original Republicans who met in that little white schoolhouse in Ripon, … [Read more...]
Islam’s Rich ‘Part of America’s History’

It is not often one feels compelled to post an anonymous email in Gulag Bound. Today is an exception. Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's history."

Lloyd Marcus: Joe Biden is a Vile Little Man
August 3, 2014, 2:38 pm by 1 Comment
By: Lloyd Marcus Words can not express my disdain for the reprehensible behavior of VP Joe Biden and his Democrat co-conspirators. At a gathering of mostly black civil rights leaders Biden strategically launched a nasty false narrative for the sole propose of ginning up racial hate and division. Republicans are requesting that Americans show an ID to vote, which is only common sense. This vile little man, Joe … [Read more...]
Future Americans Will Ask: Why Didn’t Congress Impeach Obama When it Could?
August 2, 2014, 1:19 pm by 1 Comment
By: Diana West How will future generations look back on our gravest national emergency of all time? And how will they regard what their forebears didn’t do about it? This will include what we didn’t do about border nullification, which collapsed the U.S. as a sovereign nation. What we didn’t do about the alignment of our foreign policy with that of jihad movements, which meant the end of liberty, also life … [Read more...]

Four Stages of National Decline; Two Prophetic Offers of Redemption in America
June 22, 2014, 5:24 am by 1 Comment
A friend, PolitiJim, familiar to longstanding readers of the Bound, just referred this brief, newly released message from Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias.

Even the most dynamic of us feels it. We get to where we all feel it.

By: Lloyd Marcus It is not looking good for the Tea Party and our efforts to restore America in 2014. The Obama Administration, mainstream media, major liberal advocacy groups and the GOP establishment have launched an extremely well-funded war against us. http://bit.ly/1cVTDpW So, how do we compete? Answer: We do what we did in 2010. The Bible says one will put a thousand to flight, but two will put … [Read more...]
How Pharisaical FDR Used ‘Neighborliness’ to Sell Despotism at Christmas
December 24, 2013, 6:17 pm by 2 Comments
One can read about it succinctly in The Nation (where the Cloward-Piven plan of devastating America for Marxism was also articulated). "The spirit of neighborliness" became Franklin Roosevelt's pretext in Christmastime chats, for government racketeering, a plague that robs us of our means to be neighborly. The extortion of money, that is, from those with resources, to build the power of those who use their gains … [Read more...]

This is the 150th anniversary of the delivery of the Gettysburg Address, by which Abraham Lincoln commemorated those Americans who fought and died to preserve our nation, free its slaves, and pass it along to us, so we can do the same. And today, we need to try to free America's slaves to collectivism - a different kind of slavery. Maslow's hierarchy of needs meeting B.F. Skinner's operant conditioning, and … [Read more...]

Hannah Arendt’s Warning, the Violence of Hive-Mindedness: Groupthink
November 16, 2013, 4:48 pm by 13 Comments
Hannah Arendt is one of the best of 20th Century America's imported political philosophers, historians, and brooders of contemporary society. I'd recommend her over Ayn Rand for instance, most days of the week. And for her salience, she is being assailed by one of our Columbia University-ish "thought leaders." No surprise there. The matter of contention in this instance is, from one of Arendt's books, that the … [Read more...]

Another Attack on SEALs: Obama Hates the Rattlesnake
November 2, 2013, 12:23 pm by 9 Comments
Yesterday, I read that the Obama Administration has ordered the Navy Seals to remove the “Navy Jack” or the “don’t tread on me” flag from their uniforms. The Navy Jack has been a symbol of the U.S. Navy for over two centuries. It was Benjamin Franklin who first used the symbol of a rattlesnake in 1751 to make a point. During this time, Great Britain was sending their criminals to America and it was Franklin who … [Read more...]
