When you listen to Diesen, Crooke, Mercouris and Wauck explain the complexities of the economic, political and military crises swirling around us it is easy to despair. Thus, the pessimistic close to the video.
But, really, the solutions, at least as far as the USA is concerned, are knowable and implementable. Here are six things we can start to do right now. I am sure there is more.
1. We need to end the Endless War, and recover our moral compass. With a military of 1.4 million or more, a defense budget of $2.4 trillion or more, and 700 or more overseas bases, we are a killing machine and an enemy of the rest of the world.
2. We need to restore manufacturing and productive labor to the US workforce. This means diminishing the importance of financialization in wealth creation and the creation of real and productive jobs which pay a living wage for American workers. This would begin to close the gap in standards of living between the wealthy and everybody else in America.
4. We need to restore respect for the sanctity of life in America.
5. We need to recommit to the principles of the US Constitution, the rule of law, due process of law and the enforceability of contracts. We can survive political disagreements over time but we cannot survive the destruction of the fundamental legal framework of our nation. This includes insuring the fairness of all elections.
6. We need to balance the US budget, arrest inflation, and start paying down the national debt. Only then will there be an incentive for Americans to save and invest for the future.

3. We need to restore the centrality of the family in the US. This means requiring Americans to work to support their families and ending dependency on welfare and transfer payments. https://budget.house.gov/resource/budget-staff-working-papers-a-growing-culture-of-government-dependency/#:~:text=The%20federal%20government%20spent%20a,to%2016.3%20percent%20of%20GDP. We should create incentives for parenta to stay together and raise their children.
