i do not undrstand why you think i am calling for anarchy? I understand that it is a human trait for some humans to interpret everything, when in fact the words used have specific meanings. lol strange (shrugs)

and yes, that so-called 'something ' is nothing, just like the other lawsuits and rulings. CCWs were being issued, and they have existed for decades, so again, what has changed?


" You're over generalizing things to say you want x, y, and z because politicians are in the way. You're on a forum complaining about the UN/WEF controlling the US in California "
-- not complaining, but mentioning it since it is what is occurring on a larger scale, from which all this is derived from

" Quite Frankly, I don't care which Schwab it is.. Couldn't help i"
-- uh huh sure. again, you can read it all from their own writings. i gave the meeting tags above. that tin foil hat image is quite adorable.

" CA isn't as horrible as other places, its bad but we can still change things."
-- uh huh yes exactly. lol (shrugs) this is exactly what I have been saying. strange.

" Just gotta be patient and persistent. Complaining isn't the answer. "
-- you mean like for another 10 to 15 years? and is not anyone on here simply complaining? comical. that is all i read about when i comes to these topics. just a bunch of people sitting on a forum ranting (shrug)

" Don't get me wrong, i get your position... I just think your fight is in the wrong arena. "
-- what arena? everything I do or my organization deos is all in public and not on here. we are actually trying to change things. i come here to read all the whining and then try to inform people how to change it, and then i get all this backlash with misinterpretations of my words.

We've been trying to tell you the volume has changed. Timeline reduction from 1-2 years down to 6 months or so including counties that didn't issue are now issuing. You're assuming because it was issued in YOLO, that its always been issued in SF county, it was not.

CCW extension to 3 years. Changes resulting from Bruen are happening with the examples above as progress.

Not to mention in 2 years, we've grown this site to 50k+ members who are actively interested in changes.

-- uh huh yes exactly. lol (shrugs) this is exactly what I have been saying. strange.
No, you've been saying CA is the worst and under UN control. What I'm saying is no matter which state you go to, you'll likely still say the same thing.

What has been your Call to Action? What organization. Backlash is just from the generalizations and generic prompts.

We have 3-4 named plaintiffs against the state in Contra Costa, Napa, and 1 or two in SoCal, which isn't too bad. They pay attention and discuss here.

again, you are interpreting my words. I never said california specifically. your post is nothing but your own interpretations of my words

okay, so what does this even mean?

so you still have no example. just one example of what the WEF invested in, in the USA. i can name one.

yes, i am well aware of this, as most do not know. which is part of this problem

You're missing his point. You said they're invading the US, while at the same time you've said they've done nothing. So UN/WEF isn't really doing anything.

Kushners though are raking it in with foreign money... Thrive Parters and Affinity partners are buying up all kinds of US assets with dat Saudi money

my god. this is not rocket engineering. there are 'elites'. these elites consist of politicians also. these politicians are in office and making laws and bills and changing things. there are politicians along with others that are part of the WEF's agenda. i thought you guys were aware of all this? how is this so hard to comprehend?
 
Key Types of Elites
    • Political Elites: Government officials, bureaucrats, and leaders who control state institutions and shape policy outcomes. [1, 2]
    • Economic Elites: Wealth holders, corporate executives, and billionaires who direct major financial and industrial resources. [1, 2]
    • Cultural and Intellectual Elites: Academics, journalists, artists, and leaders in prominent civic or non-profit spheres who influence public discourse and societal values. [1, 2]
    • Military Elites: High-ranking defense and armed forces officials who manage national security apparatuses. [1]
 
Sociological Perspectives
    • Power Elite Theory: Pioneered by sociologist C. Wright Mills, this view argues that modern societies are dominated by an interconnected coalition of corporate, political, and military leaders who share similar social backgrounds and interests. [1, 2]
    • Elite Theory: In political science, this perspective posits that a minority of the population naturally retains governing power due to specialized skills, organization, and institutional positioning.

once it is acknowledged and understood, then one can see who is part of it and whom may not be

Core Categories of Political Elites
    • Government Officials: Elected leaders at the highest levels, such as presidents, prime ministers, cabinet members, and senior legislators. [1, 2]
    • State Bureaucrats: Unelected public administrators, high-ranking civil servants, and regulatory leaders who manage government agencies and enforce policies. [1]
    • Military Leadership: Top-ranking defense and military officials who direct national security decisions. [1, 2]
    • Partisan Elites: Major political party leaders, convention delegates, and campaign powerbrokers who dictate party platforms and strategies. [1]


Broader Power Structures
Sociological frameworks, such as C. Wright Mills' concept of the power elite detailed by EBSCO Research Starters, note that political elites do not operate in a vacuum. They are closely connected with other powerful sectors: [1]
    • Economic Elites: Wealthy corporate executives, financiers, and billionaires who influence public policy through campaign funding and lobbying. [1, 2]
    • Cultural and Managerial Elites: High-status individuals in academia, media, think tanks, and major non-profits who shape public discourse and institutional norms. [1, 2]
Overall, membership in this group is defined less by ordinary social standing and more by high levels of wealth, prestigious education, and influential positions inside dominant public and private institutions. [1, 2]
 
Don’t forget about elite overproduction. When there’s not enough ruling class jobs to go around then those entitled elites start fighting amongst themselves.
