The Broken Machine
In all the glory in the history of the United States and pre-United States, of which there is plenty, and only slightly blunted by the constant propaganda that were it not for slavery none of it would have been possible; I can only point to the fount of all human achievement: Africa, as an example. That’s not to denigrate the honest contributions that all races and sects have brought to these shores and those who were here before us.
America is not the land of any given persuasion, race, religion or political contrivance, but one of promise that hard work, dedication and even generations of effort might bring a level of comfort for the ordinary citizen that is unequaled in all the world. In fact, today, most Western nations can and do make the same promise, but they all have a habit of slipping back into tyranny and oppression on a regular basis.
And that is exactly what’s happening to the United States right now, a sudden and inexplicable compulsion toward emulating Europe, the failed states of Europe, the suicidal Europe, the monarchial and despotic Europe that has embroiled the world in numerous world wars that went uncounted until the United States was drawn into them. The 7 years war and the 30 years war before that, the war of the Roses and what was the “cousins” war before being called the First World War.
What I have and continue to propose as a solution to our self-imposed decline is a coalition of the overlooked, those still convinced that hard work and dedication are the key to living a good and prosperous life. It’s a belief that becomes harder to maintain every year as one more support is kicked out from under them. But as long as they’re willing to blindly go to work, do their best and hope to change things with the next election, they’re lost. It will never happen again, the people who have spent decades rigging the system to rob every working family of their morrow and enrich themselves will not unrig the system because they got caught.
The problem is the wailing of millions of individual voices means nothing to them. If one cannot come to them with bags of cash and a clearly delineated means of looting the treasury, there is no representation in government, even at the most local level. If there were three people in a town and one of them was the mayor, the other two would be taxed until they decided to hang the mayor. That’s how every larger form of government operates as well, only many more people and much too dispersed to focus on any one criminal politician.
The truth is, I’m not sure any of these people, the hardworking dedicated types, understand what is being sacrificed by maintaining a belief in a representative democratic republic. The politicians have done everything they can to prove to them that it’s all nonsense and nothing shouts that with any more volume than a failure to pass the Save America Act, something nearly 90% of all citizens of all races, political parties and religions want that is a bridge too far for the consummately corrupted American politician. And, they know they can get away with this big middle finger to 90% of the population because the system is as rigged as it is. Otherwise, they’d be terrified to take such a stance.
I can only compare voting in this system as standing at a vending machine, putting in one’s change, pushing the button and nothing happens. The solution for those obeying the laws and going to work and doing their best is to try again. They put more change in and hope when they hit the button, something will happen. But it doesn’t. Again they put more change into the machine, pray and push the button. Nothing. This can go on for a century or more, or until the broken machine eats every dime they own.
That doesn’t mean that not voting is the answer, either, because the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has recognized this as an advantage and opportunity to get more of their Islamists and communists into office. But what one might recognize is that voting is not the solution, but the prevention of a worse fate than standing at a broken machine and pumping change into it, because there is a worse fate that DSA has in mind for them.
The answer, the only answer, is to recognize and exert the actual power one has to remedy the situation, i.e., breaking the glass and taking what one has paid for. In this case taking part in a nationwide demonstration of the power of the working class. Whether that comes in the form of a general strike, or a day of mischief, or whatever, it involves setting down the tools, taking a sick day (preferably the busiest day), getting a truck stuck, letting a welder run out of gas, etc., etc. It can’t be anything permanently damaging, violent or destructive. The power is in the inefficiency, the plausible deniability that one has taken part in the strike or mischief. It has to be an act that only the person who engages in it knows for sure that it was on purpose.
I’m not here to encourage anyone, or plan anything, organize anything. I know that sounds like a cop out, but it isn’t. There are much better leaders, people who see what I do, who have the personality for it, who have the genius of organization, the money to put behind it. I don’t. I’ve spent all I have pursuing anything that could keep us from getting to the point we are now. I’m spent.
The last effort I made to help people realize that our struggle in America is not the only one, that the same tactics used against Trump have been used in Brazil, Argentina, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and others, was the film Deconstruction: The Global Fight for Freedom (soon to be released). 2020 was a watershed moment for the globalist cabal that pump money into NGOs to produce massive amounts of misinformation, accusations and riots to give the illusion that the independent-minded leaders of these nations are corrupt and autocratic fascists.
They will not be denied the destruction of Western culture, not here and not in Europe. They are gaining power in the entire Western world and are quite open about the plans they have for traditional Americans of all races.
The only thing that can stall their momentum is a recognition of the individual power of those who love freedom, value independence, want a better life and are willing to make a tiny sacrifice of reputation to bring about a sudden shock to the rigged system, to threaten their sense of invulnerability. Only a concerted, small effort, can bring this about at this late stage of conquest.

Amen amen and amen. Am I in a good place spiritually and financially? Damn right. Was it given to me hell no! This remains the land of opportunity- through EFFORT. BOOMERS remain the largest voting block and buying group. We are a huge market. Try and get yardwork done. The providers are too busy to accept extra customers. I have tried to get some younger folks involved in that industry. I’ll provide capital you do the work. Nope. To much effort. Oh the wicked lure of socialism. Does no one learn historical accounts of failure? I’m a big proponent of the 4th Turning concept. TL keep up the effort.
Mendacious credentialed grifters, leading lazy uneducated fools, embracing failed authoritarian philosophies. Socialism, Communism, and Islam. The prefect storm of death cults. But it will all be fine THIS TIME. Just ask them. And the same was said in the 30s by the National Socialists.
How did we in the USA get in this mess? It took 250 years.
When the States gathered to "fix" the Articles of Confederation, their mandate was to do just that, fix what existed. The idea that something new should be created appeared as if by magic, and it was not without opposition. What is now known as the "Anti-Federalist Papers" https://a.co/d/084rGTSM are the collected works of many of those who didn't trust a central government. These should be mandatory reading for anyone who considers themselves a Patriot. This is also a great book, "The Ant-Federalists Were Right" https://a.co/d/0djeFPWJ and is well curated.
If the authors of the "Anti-Federalist" could see the country now, they would be screaming "WE TOLD YOU SO" as they looked for tar, feathers, and rope.
