Now What?
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) November 5, 2026
Let’s take a deep breath think clearly for a bit.
My mind usually tracks to history and seeking wisdom from the past. But we don’t have to go back very far to see a pattern.
It was only six years ago that the entire world was in the throes of the Covid insanity. In the US, lockdowns, media hysteria, mask mandates, business closures, etc. had everyone stressed to the max.
Then came the “summer of love” with “fiery but mostly peaceful” protests. People were called cave men and white supremacists for expressing a different opinion. Cancel culture prevailed.
And in the midst of all that was the presidential election of 2020.
Now, I will never believe that 81 million people voted for Joe Biden and his basement campaign. But I do believe that most of the people who did cast their ballots for him were realistically voting for peace and quiet.
