What Really Matters to Most Ordinary People vs Governments
K.I.S.S. (keep it simple, stupid…silly…sweetie)… your choice!
I’m sure that you will have heard of this acronym.
My friend Warwick Marsh shared another saying of similar ilk a while ago:
‘The main thing is the plain thing, and the plain thing is the main thing.’
So, in this bewildering age of everything normal being labelled by the left-leaning media and bureaucracy as ‘IST’ or ‘IC’, as in racist, misogynist, trans-phobic, etc., perhaps it’s time to simplify things.
If we get ourselves into a clear headspace, perhaps we can break things down to a manageable and honest summary of what really matters to most people — not just here in Australia, but across the world.
By comparison, however, we should also take a look at what matters most to the Governments and tyrants in charge of these countries.
China
The CCP Government
- Absolute control
- Obedience/fear
The Ordinary People of China
- Family
- Food supply
- Freedom from oppression, fear and retaliation
Iran
The Government/Ayatollah
- Absolute control
- Obedience/fear
The Ordinary People of Iran (with the exception of the ‘true believers’)
- Family
- Food
- Freedom from oppression, fear, and retribution
North Korea
The Government of North Korea
- Absolute control
- Obedience/fear
The Ordinary People of North Korea
- Family
- Food supply
- Medical care
- Hopelessness
The Governments of Every Dictatorship in the World
- Fear
- Control
- Obedience
- Retaliation
- Subjugation
The Ordinary People Under the Influence of These Monsters
- Family
- Food
- Water
- Energy
- Medical care
- Freedom from oppression
- A hope and future for themselves and their children
Simple stuff and a common thread. The plain thing is the main thing.
The Conspiratorial Overtones of the Western Civilisations
The United States of America Government
- Climate change
- LGBTQI+ (particularly transgender surgeries)
- Abortion
- Equity
- Racism
- Ukraine
- Control of information
Americans — Ordinary Mainstream People
- Family
- Faith
- Security
- Food
- Employment
- Debts
- The future
- Open borders
The Canadian Government
- Control of every narrative
- Climate change
- LGBTQI+ (particularly transgender surgeries)
- Abortion
- Euthanasia
- Equity
- Racism
- Punish dissent
Canadians — Ordinary Mainstream People
- Family
- freedom
- Security
- Faith
- The future
- Employment
The New Zealand Government
New Zealanders — Ordinary Mainstream People
- Family
- Security
- Housing
- Food
- Shelter
- A growing yearning for freedom lost
The Australian Government
- Climate Change
- LGBTQI+
- Voice to Parliament
- Equity
- Abortion
- Euthanasia
- Ukraine
- Control of all narratives
- Anytime Mr Albanese says the words ‘modest change’, open your ears and understand that those proposals will not be modest, but radical!
Australia — Ordinary Mainstream People
- Family
- Paying bills
- Keeping children safe
- A future
- Employment
- Housing
France, Germany, The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, Europe in General…
- (Apart from a couple of truly brave leaders)
- These Governments continue to control the narrative and media. Again, dissent and protest are met with over-the-top responses. Why? The people are basically ignored.
- The United Kingdom has gone out of its way to stifle and hamper Brexit, voted on years ago now, but still, they usurp the wishes of the voters.
- Macron, a darling of the WEF is a prime example of a man willing to crush protests with an iron fist. This France our Australians fought and died for in two world wars!
- This is not a Brave New World, it’s a politically and morally corrupt system bringing us back to the ‘justice’ of overlords and serfdom of ancient and medieval times.
- The food supplies are being attacked in the Netherlands, and farmers severely punished for simply wanting to stay on their land and do what their ancestors have done for centuries.
- Germany has been brought asunder by Angela Merkle’s reign of open borders and mass uncontrolled migration. Their energy system is failing, and Germany is madly scrambling to re-open or build coal fired plants.
- These people wreak havoc upon the populace that have, in most instances been hoodwinked by the rhetoric of silver tongued liars and criminals.
- Think it was just Edi Amin, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Pinochet, Ceausescu?
- There will come a time, if History re-calibrates, that we will see many present leaders of the western world be added to this list of monsters.
So, What Matters to You and Your Family?
‘If you’re not a left wing Liberal by the age of 25, you have no heart; if you’re not a conservative by the age of 50, you have no brain.’
I like this quote. Unfortunately, the demonisation of conservative values is unrelenting; they must be, as Goebbels’ ministry of truth lives re-invigorated and actively dispensed.
For me, a wife, mother and grandmother, my family and faith are key. To see my children and grandchildren live in the country I love without the threat of homelessness, war, starvation, communism, and totalitarian control of all things pertaining to freedom. To believe that they have a future that includes the ability to think for themselves, to achieve and work toward the goals and values they hold dear. To live here without the incessant brainwashing of wicked people with evil agendas. To have my babies hold to the truth that they are born male and female. That the colour of their skin, or anyone else’s doesn’t matter or define them.
Simple, really.
So, to sum up what matters to the majority of governments and tyrants in charge of this world, compared to the ordinary folk they govern:
THEM: Absolute control. US: Survival.
The main thing is, indeed, the plain thing.

Thank you so much dear Leonie for plain common sense and a superb overview of ‘The State of Things’.
Thanks Jane.
We have to stand, shields locked together.
We pray that the majority of sensible people have their eyes opened to this insidious stuff.

Thank you so much dear Leonie for plain common sense and a superb overview of ‘The State of Totalitarianism Across The World’.
God never dominates us He never, not ever – manipulates us unlike those currently implementing death culture laws .
It is just as you describe Leonie and thank you for breaking it down for us !
It struck me that we hear what ‘they’ want with monotonous regularity.
Clearing away the garbage and deciding what really matters, really does matter!
xx
thank you for a clear factual article…
Thanks Judy.
Appreciate your comment ❤️
brilliant post, Léonie, you totally nailed it! God bless you for your courage and keep give you words of wisdom and truth.
Thanks Lenka ❤️❤️
Thankyou Leonie. All true, but many people will not believe it! It is an urelenting, evil agenda. “But God…”
Sadly true. However we cry out as watchmen on the wall, regardless of those who don’t heed our warning. Blessings.❤️
Leonie, what a great piece, thank you! It was so good to get your take on such a broad brush of the planet. It is so interesting that nearly every nation is obsessed by the ‘climate change religion’ but the grass roots never seem to buy it. The other thing I would highlight from your post:
“For me, a wife, mother and grandmother, my family and faith are key. To see my children and grandchildren live in the country I love without the threat of homelessness, war, starvation, communism, and totalitarian control of all things pertaining to freedom. To believe that they have a future that includes the ability to think for themselves, to achieve and work toward the goals and values they hold dear. To live here without the incessant brainwashing of wicked people with evil agendas. To have my babies hold to the truth that they are born male and female. That the colour of their skin, or anyone else’s doesn’t matter or define them.”
What a great way to end your post! Shalom, Jim
Thankyou brother for your beautiful encouraging words.
It means a great deal, coming from you.
Blessings,
Leonie. ❤️❤️
Dear Leonie! Bang on! BUT we are surely in the last days…we are very close to the AntiChrist and his nasty global reign… It is going to be the spiritual survival of the fittest from here on out…be strong…do exploits…we are nearer our salvation (complete) than when we first believed. ❤️🙏 Rom 13:11-13
I think you are right Pearl.
We don’t have nearly the time some would believe.
Praying for the prodigals and those who will come to Jesus to do so quickly, while there is time. x
Wow!!! Some great comments!
