Yesterday we featured a relatively brief transcript from the concluding minutes of a video discussion between Michael Vlahos and Douglas Macgregor: Wars Foreign And Domestic--What Is To Be Done? I’ll start today’s post by pasting in the core of that transcript—which describes the dangerously unrepresentative nature of politics in Imperial America, featuring an out of touch elite that’s in it for themselves:
Was just talking with an old friend on Saturday about "The Road to Serfdom" in context of current events when we realized that what was required reading for us back in college would be "harm" or "violence" if we brought the book onto our respective campuses just 30 years later.
The US military is very, very reliant on air power to conduct force operations. It was never an option to equip the Ukrainians with a NATO capable air power- this could only be done by using bases inside NATO borders and NATO personnel- a step we can't take without escalating the war to the brink of nuclear exchange. And yet, we do appear to slowly reaching that point of no return.
China and Saudi Arabia are inching towards using Chinese currency for oil purchases. It’s a gradual process.
Related issue that has grown Chinese influence. Color Revolutions used cell phones and US based social media applications for organizing, such as Twitter, Facebook, etc. China offers IT solutions to prevent that.
Let's call them OLWE's for short, the official liars of the globalist establishment must similarly be OLGE's. If one asks them their names they will answer "my name is Legion" . . .
Thank you so much for quoting Hayeck, whose "Road to Serfdom" is essential reading. I would suggest , however, that rather than winning the'elite' have gone too far, too fast. Think of this phrase in your article: "the “oppressor class” is comprised essentially of all white heterosexual males" This comprises a very large segment of the population, including the most productive elements. "We have met the enemy and he is us" as Pogo put it. Without us just how do they propose to carry on? Also remember we will not just go away. Imagine a majority underclass fully cognizant that the government views us as the enemy. I don't envisage a French Revolution, but should we choose to surrepticiously subvert their efforts at dominance, they would be a government in name only. Add to essential reading "1984" where Orwell devotes the entire book to the tip of the iceberg, the ruling class, who know better than to start up with the 'proles' who are in the majority.
I don't share your negativity, but then I am not talking about winning. Let them win. Let them be happy. As things stand I see no clear path to retaking control of our government. But just as I see them continuing by hook or by crook at maintaining all the essential elements of government, I suggest they lack the ability to influence the general public to willingly further any of their programs. I keep citing the Great Depression of the 1930s as an example. FDR messed up royally, America in 1939 being in much worse shape than in 1929, but responsible individuals managed quite well to survive and even prosper. The government programs were a disaster. Things are much worse now, and the dummies in power will mess up even more. Let them. Yes, in "1984" the regime dominated the 'proles', but they were able to live their lives with minimal government oversight. The attitude was that they were 'deplorables'. and didn't merit much attention.
Agreed but living under the radar becomes more difficult due to the digitization of society. 2022 ain’t 1939. The ability of Big Brother to “see” what your doing is becoming unprecedented. Makes it tough to operate.
Now I must state I don't share your positivity. We need a moral and spiritual revival among the people of this country, and indeed many already are there, but among our ruling class I hold out no hope whatsoever. On the other hand I do not see American proles and middle class as pretty easy to manipulate and control. Maybe if the actions of the ruling class had not been so blatant, and the media so over the top, but they blew it.
I think our Constitution was designed just FOR human nature. That’s why there were three very different branches. Human nature in a branch might lean one way, but then another branch would counteract it. What has happened is that the three branches encroached upon one another so much that they are encroach upon each others functions rather than check and balance. Can we get that balancing act back?

The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters
No. It’s called “Devolution”.
A terrifying read - goes under domestic wars.
Links are informative, and mind blowing.
Will there be another Church Committee as there was in 1975? Sounds like one is way over due.

China buys 25% of all Saudi oil.
85% of the worlds trade in oil is in US dollars.
China and Saudi Arabia are inching towards using Chinese currency for oil purchases. It’s a gradual process.

Basically Western governments are bribing African Elites to destroy their countries economies, by going green.
