What follows and the thoughts outlined are likely not mainstream enough to have them meet with the general preference of many outside of fly-over country, and even within fly-over country perhaps only a few will have considered these thoughts much at all. There is a false sense among the general populace that not thinking something to be wrong provides it with some façade of being right, and when once challenged a powerful outcry arises in defense of that thing. The large initial outcry does, in many cases, tend to wane. With the passage of time, we see people often come on board to the idea.
We don’t typically examine these things which have the façade of being right unless we begin to feel abused by them. By personally suffering the consequences we can more fully come to appreciate and understand those whose atypical inquiry sparked the large initial outcry. The American government and the Progressive Establishment are practicing a combination of oppression and societal manipulation that should cause us to reject both their actions and legitimacy with equal vigor.
What is written is not an attempt to pat the author on the back, nor is it intended as a compliment to any individual or individuals. Any who are actually worthy of being praised don’t need me to write about it; It is also not designed in any way to attack any one individual. The idea is to examine our current state, reflect on what purpose it holds, and what purpose it should hold.
The purpose of this country, the United States, should be that of the preservation and support of its citizens, and the greater good of mankind as a whole. Any person who is concerned with natural rights, liberty and the independent and free nature of man should be concerned with the growing intolerance towards these ideals as practiced by the American government and the Progressive Establishment. To attack a peoples’ very humanity, declaring them sinful by the color of their skin, attacking their culture and foundational values, and destroying their natural rights is as much an attack as when an army lays siege to a civilian population. This should resonate with anyone who wishes to live and feel freely regardless of race, class, party, or any other stratifying value.
_____A MOTHER’S WIT_____
I. OF THE GENESIS AND BLUEPRINT OF DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT, WITH CONCISE REMARKS ON THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AS IT NOW EXISTS.
Modern societal leaders have spent decades purposefully confusing and intermixing the idea of society and government as to leave no distinction at all; they are not only wildly different, but they have a wholly separate genesis. Government is created to provide for defense; Society exists to share our happy[1] desires. Government restrains the worst actors among us; Society promotes the best of each of us. Government taxes and punishes; Society produces and rewards.
Society not manipulated provides for a happy existence, whereas government, even the very best one, is little more than a necessary evil; in it worst state a genocidal one. When a people suffer from government, they are often able to reflect and unify behind the understanding that they have furnished their own enemy. Government exists because people lack the innocence that existed in the Garden[2], and when governments become exorbitant it is proof that this loss of innocence eventually infiltrates all things, even those designed with common purpose. If innocence had not been lost upon the bite of the apple, we would have no need for government; that clearly not being the case we decide to surrender some portion of that which is our own to provide some manner and means of protection and common defense through government. Ideally, we do this by sacrificing the least and reaping the greatest benefit. We do this in all things in our everyday life. It is an attempt to increase productivity while decreasing expense and waste.
To better exemplify just what a good government should look like and how it stems from society and that they are not one we can take the example of a new settlement. If we have a small contingent of people existing separate and apart from all others, they will seek to make for themselves a better existence. They will do what they can as individuals and share with others in the more difficult and laborious tasks which require more than just the lone individual, be that designing a new implement or working a heavy task. A single person may make a habitable lean-to, but in a group of a half dozen they may fashion a small cabin. If an individual wanted to eat then he would have to concentrate his efforts on food, this working to the detriment of his shelter. As different wants and needs arise, the likelihood of this contingent of people forming a working bond to better their station is guaranteed and with this guarantee we see the formation of society.
So long as these people required of themselves continual improvement in their dwellings, rations and living status we could expect that they remain relatively honest with one another practicing an unspoken natural justice. But, as nothing of the sort lasts forever and we understand that man is not innocent, the abuse of another’s natural tendency to trust will occur. In recognizing and working to supply a way to deal with this natural defect in man a government will arise as they form among themselves rules and punishments.
Some sort of a dwelling or shaded area will act as a legislature, wherein the people will convene and discuss matters which affect their society. The initial rules are often basic and punishments rudimentary. All of those who exist within the small society will participate.
But as we see with every society that flourishes, the distance between people, their desires and the actions which affect them increase until it is no longer feasible, and in fact inconvenient, for all of them to meet every time something comes up. It is at this point that societies move from a directly democratic system into something representative. People will be chosen and appointed to consider manners and act on behalf of the whole. As the small contingent grows into something larger, the number of those representatives who consider matters of importance will grow and begin to represent their own various segments of the society. It is important to note that elections must occur often, or you can end up with electors who form their own interests separate from those whom they are selected to represent. It must also be said that powered interests separate from government such as a strong business or industry must not be able to have undue influence upon the elected member be that with money or other consideration. Back to the need for constant elections, removing individuals from the seat of government and returning them to their working lives ensures that the common interest of the community remains relevant and naturally supported. Upon this the strength and validity of government stands. Otherwise, the society is governed by 100 small Kings which is no different, except perhaps that it is more subversive, than a society governed by 1 large King.
What has been demonstrated is the genesis and expansion of government secondary to the creation and existence of society. The natural way in which government expands is for the preservation of security and freedom. Whatever other forms of government people may shout are natural and not considered here such as Communism, Socialism, or any other for that matter run contrary to the natural development of government as demonstrated. The course of nature does not change to satisfy an individual’s preference.
This means that the democratic nature of people and their want to have a say in the society lends to the rise of direct democracy, and once expanded a Republic. These are simple steps within nature and the simpler a process the less likely it is to be distorted and have that distortion hidden from public view. The simple process may become distorted, but everyone will recognize it.
This is why simple representative governments work for those within their own society so well. Any time the people suffer under this form of simple government, they know exactly the source to which their suffering arises. This then gives them an immediate understanding of how to stop their own suffering and bring about a curative change. But as our own government now is so complex and unrecognizable when compared with this simpler form, it is no wonder that people can suffer for decades and not be able to amend the wrong within the system. No one can identify the source, the system acts as its own cover, and every politician claims to know the cure so long as you buy into their own brand of treatment.
There is difficulty in seeing a wrong in something so commonly accepted, yet if we just take the time to honestly apply ourselves in thoughtful examination, we we’ll find the basis of these tyrannies to emanate from Government and Progressive Establishment.
First.—The American Government now exists for its own continuity first and foremost.[3]
Secondly.—The Progressive Establishment maintains a power as hefty as any government.[4]
Thirdly.—The Federally Elected congress has been distorted by a lack of term limits, thus allowing members to remain in congress for decades; And powered interests no longer remain separate from government; a further distortion.[5]
The first two account for the third and contribute not first and foremost to security and freedom but to continuation of the own power and interests. We now have the aforementioned 100 small Kings who wield god-like influence over society.
To say that the three branches of government which are supposed to provide us with astute checks and balances still perform that function is false. Either we are attempting to placate our own minds, or words have no more meaning than Newspeak.
To say that the Congress provides rational checks upon the executive necessitates several things:
First.—That members of Congress do not choose subservience to their own Party leadership when their own member sits in the White House.
Secondly.— That members of Congress be mentally able and ethically brave enough to make the right decisions to the benefit of those they represent. With a 100-member Senate chamber full of mentally failing Septuagenarians and Octogenarians [6]and a Congress who’s top 50 members hold a collective net worth over 2.3 Billion dollars[7] they are neither mentally able nor ethically brave enough to represent the people’s interest as it truly exists.
As our Constitution gives the Congress the power to check the Executive through legislative processes and the power of the purse, it fails in this regard if the Executive and Legislature maintain their own interests separate and apart from those of the people. Again, our Constitution and entire system of government relies on the independent nature of those elected and that they represent fully those who elected them. At present this is beyond laughable. It is preposterous!
Our government has become something it was specifically designed to prevent and is more a monstrous caricature than a faithful rendering. In siding with the Progressive Establishment that controls everything from Media to Sports, to the flow of Information via modern tech, they have excluded the common citizen from the free flow of truthful, non-narrative based information. The government to survive must have and sift through source documents, truth, and non-narrative based information daily, yet, by unnaturally opposing and destroying our own access to such information they have left the people in a disadvantaged and stuporous state.
Furthermore, the true purpose of our Senate is to check the power of the House. As Machiavelli observed in his Discourses on Livy, “Those who blame the quarrels of the Senate and the people of Rome condemn that which was the very origin of liberty.”[8] Adapting this to our own Senate and House, we can see that the internal conflicts which arise between the House and Senate are natural to the proper function of our Republic. Neither should be in cahoots with the other, nor should they be under the influence of any outside source. Unfortunately for us as citizens, this is not true. The members of the House are influenced by the same monied interests that influence the members of the Senate, and additionally they are all members of one of two parties. They are all beholden to the same masters, powerful outside interests, and the Party from which they arrive in Washington. There is no true check as it was intended to exist or as Machiavelli wrote about. The conflicts that arise between our House and Senate are little more than petty arguments as to who gets to spend the next generations wealth the fastest and to their own purposes, or which oversight committee gets access to what pile of sensitive documents in hopes of empowering the committee’s own members. The people are not represented here. Such a power is not gifted by a wise or educated people, but it is usurped by a conniving and desirous body.
What we have now cannot last as it is but may in time worsen until the speed with which its own corruption moves brings the system down upon itself. The cogs of government spin faster with each year as the machine is expanded and made more convoluted. The simplicity of the system is gone, and the inner workings never repaired, oiled, or replaced in any meaningful manner. With time the rate at which the gears turn will exceed their ability to remain upon the shaft. As one gear goes, so too the system.
The Executive Branch is just as overbearing and self-serving as is Congress. The issuance of Executive Orders and the Executive Spending Proposals that rank in the Trillions run contrary to the founding idea that Congress alone control the creation of laws and the spending of funds. They now act together as one, merely locking the people out of the process as the door slams shut to representation.
Our current habit of accepting the system as it exists and not as it should exist, is an example of how we accept something as right just because we have not yet considered whether it is wrong. Now that it has been outlined as such those Coastal types who subscribe to the system may begin to rethink the issue. It is not unfair to say that a sense of national pride keeps many from true reason as no one wants to admit that the system from which they are a part of is wrong, corrupt, or no longer acting upon its own founding principles. The will of the Establishmentarians has become as much the law of the land as any natural law that governs cordial interactions between two people.
When we set aside our own individual pride and biases, it is easy to see that we have had some remnant protections from our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The only reason tyranny remains veiled as opposed to overt is for the remaining protections within the founding documents. The Establishmentarians have not yet uncovered ways to usurp all our natural rights but make no mistake with time and technology it is certain.
Right now we must make every attempt to see our government as it is, not as we want it to be. Only in viewing its true nature can we have some semblance of mind as to how to return it to its simpler form. However, while being under its influence and subject to its propaganda many will not be capable of any form of impartiality. Just as a person who is drunk is unfit to make reasonable choices, so too are any people who are unknowingly under the influence of a rotted government.
II. A SIMPLE GOVERNMENT GONE.
In nature all mankind is equal, this equality only being destroyed by some after effect or circumstance. It is placed within our own Bill of Rights that “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
With no distinction between the citizenry, no caste system or aristocracy to stratify them it is assumed that any distinction that arises is due to the natural order, and the natural predisposition of the individual, as well as their own successes and hard work. We haven’t Kings and Subjects. Male and female are distinctions of nature as evidenced by the sex of the individual, just as right and wrong are distinctions of morality. However, even these universal truths have come under fire by the Progressive Establishment as of late through a practice of Orwellian redefinition.[9]
Let us examine where we have come from to gain a better understanding of where we are headed and, perhaps, how to best maintain the distinction between society and government, thus retaining government in its simplest form and a society which works towards our happiest desires.
After the War of Independence and with the ratification of the Constitution in 1791, the Supreme law of the land came into existence. This founding document delineated the framework from which our government would arise.
This founding document, comprised of seven articles, provided a robust and healthy framework for what would become our government.
Articles I, II, and III outline the concept of Separation of Powers and legally solidifies that the government is made up of three separate and independent bodies: The Legislative, consisting of a bicameral Congress (Article I).[10]; the Executive, consisting of the president and subordinate officers (Article II)[11] ; and the Judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts (Article III).[12]
Article IV, V and VI are the core concept that is Federalism, describing the rights and the responsibilities of State governments, the relationship of the State to the Federal government, and the process of Constitutional Amendment.[13]
Article VII establishes the procedure that is to be used by the states to ratify it.[14]
Near two hundred and fifty years have passed since the inception of our nation and in this time the simple nature of government has been distorted. It might even be unfair to call it distortion, as what has happened has been a concentrated and purposeful effort by those who found the seat of government comfortable and never left, and the monied interests that set the terms for joining the game.
In existing within the time that we do, all of us have inherited two incompatible visions of America.
You see, from 1776 to 1865 the concept of Jeffersonian America was the view that defined America. Today, many do not know what this means and seeing the endpoint of 1865 will unreasonably assume it has to do with Slavery. This is not true. What this has to do with is the relationship that man has with the States and the relationship the States have with the Federal government.
The Jeffersonian concept of America, named after Thomas Jefferson, was one that stood in opposition to an artificial aristocracy, what we today call the “1%”. They also opposed corruption and placed priority on regular people. They prioritized the average citizen.[15]
Jeffersonians insisted that man had a relationship with government, and not the other way around. Man controlled, convened, and disbanded government as he saw fit. It was a person’s civic duty to aid the state and resist corruption, especially monarchism and aristocracy.[16]
Our modern world would see this monarchism as those members of government and congress who have made a living off “public service” without having served the public. The aristocracy would be the 1% and Coastal Elites who retain its station above all others and thumb their nose to fly-over country and the average citizen. For it isn’t the average Trump voter or African American who meets this criterion of American Aristocracy.
The Jeffersonians also held firm the belief that the national government is a dangerous necessity to be instituted for the common benefit, protection and security of the people, nation, or community—it should be watched closely and circumscribed in its powers.[17]
And here is where we see the death of Jeffersonian America and the birth of Big Brother Federalism which we now live under. It was with the culmination of the civil war in 1865.
The Jeffersonian believed that government was ever evolving to serve as simply as is possible the best interest of its citizens. This was defined early on by Jefferson when he wrote to Madison in 1789 that "no society can make a perpetual constitution or even a perpetual law. The earth belongs always to the living generation".[18]
This idea of evolving law is not something we see much of today as laws laid to the books decades ago still stand today when the very reason they were created no longer exist. We shall examine this later with the ASFA and the “Crack Epidemic of the 1980’s”. The ASFA will be one of the ideas examined that is considered good because we do not consider it at all and because it exists, we simply accept that it is a positive in society when in fact it is an evil.
But before progressing that far we must continue to fully understand Jeffersonian America. The Jeffersonian tradition opposes the centralizing tendency that our government has today. It was founded on State sovereignty and made the claim that the 10th Amendment was the foundation of the Constitution.
It is a simple amendment (simple as government should be) and reads “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”[19]
For those why may not understand the 10th Amendment does not giver the federal government any power at all. In fact, it emphasizes that the Bill of Rights does not change the fundamental nature or character of the government as formed (an argument had by our founders who feared a Bill of Rights would actually create an unlimited federal government).[20]
Its purpose then is to make sure that at every exercise of power by the United States Federal government a check is involved that investigates whether the action exceeds the federal governments limited, enumerated powers.
The simplicity of such a thing was the backbone of the Jeffersonian understanding of America and why the federal government remained truer in nature from its inception until 1865 than it has since.
Jeffersonians believed that the best way to limit tyranny was to limit a central governments power to raise and spend money. And consequently, in 1794 the first problem that our own federal government ever faced was a tax revolt, the Whiskey Rebellion.[21]
In 1800 when Jefferson ran for president, he ran on a platform that he would abolish all inland federal taxes, the Whiskey Rebellion fresh in the minds of Americans. The federal government would raise revenue via taxing imports and federal land sales.
From the time of 1800 to the Secession of South Carolina at the outset of the American Civil War, most Americans paid almost no taxes to the federal government except during a short taxation period that paid for the War of 1812.
The Chart demonstrates how the US Federal government raised revenue from its inception until 2016. We can see as the concept of Jeffersonian America waned and diminished, within a lifetime the ability of the Federal government to tax its citizens in any manner it wished skyrocketed.
The Jeffersonian understanding of America was alive in Andrew Jackson as he destroyed the Bank of the United States.[23] For those not aware, Jacksons actions were the equivalent of destroying today’s Federal Reserve. Again, demonstrating here the idea that we are not bound by perpetual government, and that when we take the time to consider a common thing that may be thought of as good, we may actually see it as it is.
The Federal government was practically out of debt from this time period until the 1860’s and the outbreak of the American Civil War. The debt it did incur was almost insignificant. In 1860 the Gross Domestic Product in 1860 was roughly $5.3Billion dollars[24], and the National Debt was a paltry $64.8 Million dollars.[25]
Not only was this small debt a hot button topic of the time, but it should also make us step back to examine our own national debt as created by what we now see as a toxic and irresponsible federal government. In April 2021, the public debt of the United States was around 28.17 trillion U.S. dollars, over 3.2 trillion more than a year earlier, when it was around 24.9 trillion U.S. dollars.[26] Our Gross Domestic Product for 2020 was only 21.4 trillion U.S. dollars.[27] We can see clearly that this is not enough to keep up with our debt.
This unbelievable shift of Federal Debt to Gross National Product is directly due to this fundamental misunderstanding we as a people have with our relationship with the federal government, and the federal governments incorrect understanding of its own powers.
So grand was the relationship the average citizen had with the federal government in Jeffersonian America, that in 1848 Switzerland changed its constitution to a federal system of states in order to better emulate Jeffersonian America.[28]
The Swiss, much like pre-1865 Americans, were afraid of providing a federal government with original taxing authority. However, unlike our own fate the Swiss were able to keep the power in the hands of the people thus diminishing the overreach of power by a federal government and maintain healthy debt to income ratios.
Even today the citizens of Switzerland hold the authority to limit the central governments taxation abilities. The Central government may only tax for a limited time, at a certain rate and once the taxation period has elapsed no taxing power remains unless renewed by a Constitutional amendment requiring ratification by a majority of the Cantons and a majority of the Individuals.
Unlike the Swiss, we have lost this idea of the citizen controlling the federal government and maintaining authority as close to home as possible – meaning original authority and sovereignty lies with the State. This occurred at the end of the Civil War in 1865.
With the culmination of the Civil War, it was seen that no state or group of people may rightfully secede or leave the Union, and the States themselves held no right to intercede on behalf of the citizens as Federal law now held supremacy in all cases, taxation included. The Federal government took it as mandate that the end of the Civil War meant the end of Jeffersonian America.
In opposition to Jefferson and the Democratic ideals which he so believed, the American government is now perpetual, its greatest purpose the continuity of the Union.
Now the State is no longer the sovereign of the people. Prior to 1865 it was the State that represented the people and stood between them and any potential overreach by the Federal government. With the culmination of the Civil War this idea was gone.
From 1865 onward we have seen the Federal government act in a way that protects its own existence and in doing so has created so many layers of insulative bureaucracy that the concept of simple government has no chance to exist.
With the many layers of government, it is no wonder that the people have not figured out how and by whom they are truly oppressed. They can’t see through the veil. If the first layer isn’t enough to obfuscate the perpetrator, the several hundred layers of bureaucratic nightmare that follow are.
By the time we get to the 1960’s the American government has transformed into something akin to an Empire, unconcerned with its societal foundations and on a path laid out by monied Progressive interests and lifelong politicians.
It has been since this era that the American government has followed policies that are destroying the American national identity by implementing a mix of progressive and subversive policies.
In his seminal work The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order, Samuel Huntington argued “America was founded by British settlers who brought with them a distinct culture, says Huntington, including the English language, Protestant values, individualism, religious commitment, and respect for law. The waves of immigrants that later came to the United States gradually accepted these values and assimilated into America's Anglo-Protestant culture. More recently, however, our national identity has been eroded by the problems of assimilating massive numbers of primarily Hispanic immigrants and challenged by issues such as bilingualism, multiculturalism, the devaluation of citizenship, and the “denationalization” of American elites.”[29]
While I disagree that race has anything to do with it, I do agree with the rest of the premise. I would replace Huntington’s “…primarily Hispanic immigrants…” with …culturally opposed immigrants…”. For it is easily seen that it isn’t the Catholic immigrant from Latin America who opposes individualism, religious commitment, and respect for law half as much as it is the radical, native born progressive.
Therefore, we see it is both the importation and home-grown development of those that are culturally opposed to foundational principles such as individualism, religious commitment, and respect for law that has eroded our society. The subversive nature of Progressive action and policy are in direct contrast with American identity and are destroying our society and government.
III. THOUGHTS ON THE PRESENT STATE OF AMERICAN AFFAIRS AND A SIMPLE SOLUTION.
As a needed example let us examine but one idea that is commonly considered a good by those on the left, when in fact if it were considered at all it would be seen for the evil it is. One of the most subversive Progressive policies that is deemed good because people accept it without examination is the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA). This is a culturally erosive progressive policy pretending to be a help to the African American community. With 44 million African Americans in the country the well being of this subset of society is paramount.
Let’s unpack this: When it comes to matters of the home, the constitutional provisions of the Fourteenth Amendment give substantial deference to the independence of the familial unit to make its own decisions. [30]
Although the foster system by its very definition requires some governmental intervention for the welfare of the child, the goal of foster care should be assistance and eventual reunification. This allows the family to function as a purposeful and successful unit. This is in the very nature of mankind.
The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) runs in direct contrast to that natural state of man, thus not only violating the natural rights of mankind, but creating a more complex system, deviating from that concept of government which is direct and simple.
With black children representing an overwhelming percentage of those within the foster care system, the ASFA represents federally mandated destruction of black families. The ASFA devalues the essential and very human nature of preserving the familial bond when it comes to black children. Instead, it advocates for early termination of parental rights and prioritizes adoption over reunification.
Preservation of black families is essential to the advancement of the black community. Progressive government has instituted this very policy that works against the advancement of the black family.[31]
As more and more black children are born into unwed households, we see the continued destruction of the black family unit and the further termination of parental rights. This cycle grows government by emphasizing the need for a larger apparatus to raise black children and act as a stand-in family. This should never happen and creates an entire generation of children who grow into adults that believe government is there to care for them, house them, clothe them, feed them, educate them, and give them a family connection. How horrid!
These children deserve the same family units and structure that anyone else has. This public willingness to remove black babies from their mothers is based on some racialized myth about pregnant crack addicts and crack babies. [32] Nothing could be farther from the truth, and it is this racist stereotyping that is stripping a disproportionate number of black babies from their mothers.
The American government and Progressive Establishment create and mandate policies just like the ASFA that directly punishes and works to destroy the black family unit.
The Supreme Court of the United States has historically ruled and held the view that the family is a private institution where individuals are free to pursue their goals without threat of government intrusion.[33] The law clearly protects the rights of parents to participate in the nurturing and rearing of their children. Treating black families in the year 2021 like they are knee deep in the 1980’s crack epidemic in inherently wrong, and by binding them to old laws we destine them to a broken future. Progressive policies produce a culture that is the antithesis of what it means to be American.
Progressive culture pushes other destructive stereotypes and narratives such as the proud single mother[34], or the greatness of the woman on stage in her underwear twerking and shaking her genitals[35]. They amplify music that promotes drugs[36], guns[37], and sexual deviancy[38]. And they project this into the homes and lives of those most at risk within society, specifically black children, molding them into a person drastically opposed to once common American ideals.
It is the Coastal elite who preach these anti-American ideals and filter the ideas into an entire segment of society blinded to the truth. They own the media outlets, the companies that produce the content, the songs, the music, the online publications, and everything else that goes in to producing these sickening narratives. Worse yet, the political leaders who represent these Coastal Elites offer little more than a ho-hum response to the destruction of culture.[39]
Entire generations of Progressives have become fascinated by Anti-Western ideas[40] because they believe this will provide them with an aura of self-critical virtue. This unjustifiable hostility towards one’s own nation and culture infuses them with a sense of pleasure and has become a dominant force within the American social and political landscape.[41]
The sense of pleasure derived from this unjustifiable hostility provides them with a chemical dopamine response. From the first small, initial dose they begin the development of an addiction, and in their words and actions are seeking a greater hit. It becomes a downward spiral.
Eventually many have become so radical that they turn to groups that can provide a bigger hit of dopamine through scaled, collective action such as Anti-Trump[42], Antifa[43], BLM[44], Trans-Activism [45]and Anti-Police protest groups. They then protest[46], burn cities[47], riot[48], and firebomb buildings [49]which in the year 2020 resulted in over a Billion dollars in property damage. [50] All of this provides them with a next level hit of dopamine and the feeling of purpose. Its akin to being addicted to sky diving or combat.[51]
Eventually everything American must be criticized and destroyed, everything not American must be hailed. Its why we see Communist Parades in Austin[52], men chopping off their genitalia and women undergoing hormone therapy[53], and anti-police street battles.[54]
And if everything American must be criticized and destroyed, what good does it do that we are all American? What is the point?
A lot is often said of the strength of the United States and that we are the sole global superpower. But at this point that is nothing more than an arrogant statement about our military industrial complex. The fate of the world is more than uncertain now that American unity has disappeared at home. What good is a global military when not backed by a unified people? It becomes a disparate enterprise, self-serving and alien to its own genesis.
And besides, why should we patrol and police the world as we have done for decades all the while placing the lives of our young men and women at risk, many of whom now cannot decide for themselves if they are even the sex they were born?[55] What good is a force full of the mentally ill when facing armies of strong and well-trained opponents? If we had any courage at all we would bring our children home, provide care and counseling for those who need it, and avoid the folly of the past several decades while dispossessing ourselves of these corrosive progressive ideas.[56]
And before even considering that, in truth we should not even field such a massive military complex.[57] Our primary cause should be commerce that is well attended too, securing for ourselves and our children friendship across the globe. The primary interest of the United States abroad should always be increasing trade for the benefit of her own citizens.
Sending armies of transgendered eighteen-year-olds abroad to fight dirt farmers is not a bright or loving future for anyone especially the transgendered who see a higher rate of suicide, depression, and victimization than almost any other stratified category of person.[58] These are exacerbated to an extreme once the transgender person has experienced any form of violence, something common and expected in the military. The suicide rates and toll this will take on these already fragile individuals will be innumerable. This is the future many are now unknowingly asking for because they have not truly examined the issue.
Our goods exported around the world are, perhaps in their manufacture, the very best on the globe. We should be exercising our national budget to support trade, not a global police force. These are in best interest of the citizen.
However, the best interest of the American citizen has become a secondary object in Establishment Politics. Those in Washington look to the good of the people only as far as they can work the outcome to their own favor and purpose. Why we allow these progressive privileged interests to suppress our own freedom and dominate to their own advantage is beyond me. Perhaps people have just yet not taken the time to consider it. And when they do what will be the enlightened outcome?
I affirm that a return to State sovereignty is the only way to avoid one of 3 disastrous outcomes.
ONE—The growth of progressive government develops into a big brother like state that Orwell himself could not have imagined.
TWO—The destructive nature of progressive government leads us to the fate similar to that of Mexico sometime in the next 15 to 20 years as we open our borders to drugs cartels who maintain power, influence and armies. Once they establish themselves there will be no turning back.
THREE—The people of this nation reach no mutual understanding and a future of Civil War once again arises.
State Sovereignty is the antidote to our current malaise, the cancer that rots our societal foundations and government. People do not change from enemies to friends over night, which is currently how each half of the country treats the other. To reconcile our differences and avoid the dangerous doctrine that leads to one of three outcomes, we must adopt the Jeffersonian principles that once guided our forefathers.
Even in the interim, we cannot expect to obtain any real amount of bipartisan effort to resolve a crisis bad government has created. For even in our most recent history progressive authorities have utilized every arm of government to attack conservative citizens and attempted to hide their actions. We spoke to this very ill in lines 12 and 13: “But as our own government now is so complex and unrecognizable when compared with this simpler form, it is no wonder that people can suffer for decades and not be able to amend the wrong within the system. No one can identify the source, the system acts as its own cover, and every politician claims to know the cure so long as you buy into their own brand of treatment.”
This doesn’t even approach the current political divide we find ourselves in today where the progressive left see’s Conservatism as a worse evil than “Al Qaeda, Usama Bin Laden, and the Taliban combined.[59]
Therefore, it must be seen that to avoid the genocidal tendencies of all powerful governments in the hands of progressives as we saw in Nazi Germany, Mao’s China, and Stalin’s Russia, we must return to State sovereignty. What other choice does one have if they feel they are living among terrorists than to target them by force of arms? I dread the idea of continuing under a people that think I am worse than the perpetrators of 9/11 simply because of my Constitutional ideals.
Millions have already been ruined by progressive media’s propaganda machine and as it continues millions more will fall to the same fate. No truer example could be a recent poll produced by Skeptic that revealed that roughly “39% of self-identified liberal respondents said police killed 1,000 or more unarmed black men in 2019, and among the very liberal, more than 50% believe American law enforcement killed 1,000 or more unarmed black men in 2019.” The actual number of unarmed African Americans killed by police in 2019 was 13-27.[60]
With a nation so ill informed there is no wonder that our society is collapsing as it is. People no longer receive truth from the institutions whose purpose is to provide the unbiased news of the day. In other publications I have spoken at length describing the false narrative and tyrannies played out by our government and the Progressive Establishment: Russia, Russia, Russia[61]; Hillary’s Election Polls[62]; 2-scoops[63]; Open borders[64]; Pee-Pee Tapes[65]; Orange Man Bad[66]; All white people are racist[67]; Russia Bounties[68], Institutional Racism[69]; REEE The Patriarchy![70]; Defund Police[71]; Jussie Smollett hoax[72]; Hands Up Don’t Shoot[73]; Bubba Wallace Hoax[74]; The Capital Conspiracy about Troops threatening Biden[75]; Faucianism[76]; Ukraine hoax[77]; Covington Kids hoax[78]; Brett Kavanaugh hoax [79]– and these are just some largest of those from the last several years.
The sheer audacity of the government and progressive establishment that produces such pervasive falsehoods is a complete poison to society, the fangs of vipers to the minds of the people.
The people have the natural right to a government of their own: And when people actually take the time to studiously reflect upon the current state of our nation, they will become convinced that it is the wiser and safer course to return to the states the sovereignty to which originally claimed. While we have it in our power, and our minds are on the task let us trust to one another this hope. For if we do not take the action necessary to elect those who should better represent us and reform government as it should be then those malcontents among us will act as they have, sweeping away the liberties of mankind in their blue wave.
Should we find ourselves unable to coalesce around the idea of States rights and Jeffersonianism there will not be any relief to be found. We will continue to suffer under the perverse and complex progressive establishment. Any that oppose this idea now have not taken the time to consider it fully. By keeping the government in its current bloated and non-responsive state we are submitting ourselves to a hellish existence and condemning our children and their children to a future of poverty under the auspices of something worse than what we see now.
People in the center talk of reconciliation and a future friendship between those on the right and on the left. I dare not say it is impossible, but how can we have friendship with those who mock and ridicule our faith?[80]
With each setting of the sun what little remains of national identity and a kindred spirit between us and them becomes further sun washed and faded. We must be aware of and take consideration that the state of this deadening relationship isn’t to last much longer.
Why should we suffer to quarrel or persecute one another when we have the power to right the ship? Californians have no more interest in subsidizing and supporting those they despise in Mississippi as those in Mississippi have in being made politically insignificant by California.
But that is a part of the very nature of this malignant federal system we find ourselves under.
When Donald Trump was President the left fought tooth and nail, day in and day out to avoid any mandates, actions, or legislation that came down from Washington.
Adopting these very principles of State sovereignty we saw California withdraw troops from the border that were authorized under federal mandate by Donald Trump.[81] Oregon worked to throw out federal police from Portland who were ordered in by Donald Trump.[82] If the concept of States rights was fair and just then, then it is fair and just now.
Just because a progressive is now in the White House any principled people should not want to cede further any reclaimed rights that may then be abused by the next administration or bad bureaucratic actor.
The left constantly talks about justice and reform. Let us now seek both before the time has passed us by! How can we reconcile our differences if we do not think honestly about the injuries our federal government has laid upon both sides? These are injuries that should not be so easily forgiven; we would cease to be a thinking and reasonable people if we so quickly forgot the hurts laid upon our backs. Should the abused stay with the abuser? Should they forget they were ever hit and return to the home as if they can so readily move on?
We all want in our hearts what we hold most dear. And the unextinguishable feeling that can be provided to every individual by a small, unintrusive government managed close to home is essential to that feelings very existence.
These are the things that we must consider, and what separates us from any other being here on earth. If our social compact dissolves (and I think it has), then naturally too the right for government to govern dissolves with it for as we established at the outset society existed before government, and governments mandate comes from society.
With no society there is no rightful government. Understanding now that we have no rightful government, we have no unified society as the divide is too great to bridge, let us now decide to move forward with reclaiming our natural rights and instituting good government among ourselves.
Those on the left should have every bit of large government that they wish to pay for. And those among us who have paid attention, taken the time to truly consider where we are and what has come of our nation should be able to have as simple and functional a government as we wish.
It is here that I will leave you as happily as I was when I encountered you. I hope that in your fullest consideration, in taking the time to study the state of our nation you will work to reclaim your natural and civil rights, sharing the ideas of Jeffersonianism as they are now the solution to our minacious government and the supporting progressive establishment. I rally you not to the dissolution of the Union but to the solution of the States.
Be kind to your neighbors.
