Interesting article. Funny how everything [they] touch seems to wake more and more people up. The "Streisand effect" is [their] biggest enemy.

Evil cannot create anything new it can only corrupt that which good has created.

More profound than one may think...💞

Just listened to your marvelous conversation you had with Chris Paul. I thought I would also share my comment to him with you as well. :

Chris, I listened to this today after watching the Tron show this morning. I am so grateful to have been led to the best minds and hearts in this movement. This conversation [with Burning Bright] was amazing, enlightening and informative. I don't have many outlets for personal engagement, but in the last year I have come across so many thoughtful writers from following channels like Pat Gunnels, Patel Patriot and Duane Cates. Being 70, I hope to see the "end game" played out before too long. You guys make me feel like I'm 35 again.

The first time I was eligible to vote was in 1972. I voted for Nixon. The prior year I was denied a Conscientious Objector status for the Vietnam war, and was "drafted". I went to Canada temporarily, until my status was "changed" to "4F". ( intervention by my father ) I always considered myself an independent though. I voted for the Bush's. And in 2008 I voted for Obama. He was my Senator from Illinois, but I knew nothing about his true identity.

My redpill journey began during the Clinton years, with the Waco and Ruby Ridge atrocities. And then I researched the truth about the JFK murder. ( Oswald was an operative who thought he was being used to prevent an assassination, but was used as a patsy instead ) Then later 9/11. I was never pulled into believing that narrative, and the push for the "Patriot Act". Subsequently I read the books in the Methodical Illusion series.

When Trump began his campaign, I knew nothing about him, other than that he was a real estate mogul. I never watched The Apprentice. But I did know how evil Hillary was. And I saw how the Republican establishment tried to derail Trump's nomination. So of course I voted for Trump in 2016.

I attended a Trump rally in the summer of 2017 in Iowa. Then in December of 2017 I became aware of Q, and followed the movement ever since. I loved how BB described those who just have no clue about Q.

In 2018 I attended a Trump rally in Cedar Rapids on August 30, and told lots of folks about Q, when they had no idea. But the Secret Service knew, because I was not allowed inside with my Q shirt, lol. Lots of significant Q drops that day.

Thanks for letting me share here, I'm not yet on Truth Social. Their support team did recently email me and there should be a way soon for me to get an account without having to get a phone text with a code number to join . ( I do not have a "smart phone" ).

Very glad to hear you enjoyed the interview, Dave. It was a blast and I hope to engage a bit more often with other patriots in this community.

Just because they desecrate it doesn't mean they can kill it! Thank you for this essay. They can never beat Tolkien. Ever. Tolkien is woke-proof, IMO. Thanks for the heads-up!

I've been waiting to read your article before plunging into the movie... I think I'll skip the disappointment and move on. Thank you for your brilliant articles.

Tolkien and Peter Jackson fan here….

This was a great read!

No way will I watch Amazon’s spin off.

We've got to hold the line on this one.

I knew the Woke mob wouldn't win, but I didn't anticipate Gandalf yelling "You shall not pass!" would be their high-water mark. Perfect.

My husband and I are huge fans of Tolkien, loving both the books and Peter Jackson's trilogy. I'd heard about the abomination of this latest Amazon thing, and have zero desire to see any of it. Your article is brilliant. I'm studying "deliver us from evil/the evil one" this week from Matthew 6:13, and this fits right in. I did notice one little misspelling you might want to correct: "Thus, such wonton and brazen assaults on its heart and soul—" I know you mean "wanton", not the Chinese dumpling. Former secretary; can't help myself. Love your work!

Haha thank you for the correction!

And thank you for reading.

I tried to read The Hobbit on more than one occasion as a teen when everyone else was reading it, but couldn’t get through it. I never watched the movies, but might try them after reading this. Thanks for letting me know the first ones were not woke. I’m a huge Bond fan, but refuse to see the last release, as they have gone too far with that franchise as well.

The Hobbit was written with the intention of being read to children. The Lord of the Rings ended up being an epic that spun out of the world Tolkien created for The Hobbit, but has a much more mature tone and writing style.

Hi Cindy - you should definitely try watching the Peter Jackson "Lord of the Rings" movies. I saw the movies before I ever read the books, and then loved them. The casting was brilliant, and then you have those faces in your mind when you read. In my opinion, both the movies and the books are masterpieces. I would NOT recommend Jackson's films of the Hobbit, however. Way overdone and way too long, which is a shame. Hope you enjoy!

Agreed. If you ever get the chance, the Hobbit making-of is actually more interesting than the movies. Jackson was put in a really bad position by the studio on those films. Lots of behind the scenes drama.

The original trilogy is a masterpiece.
