Brian, I just watched Glenn Beck interview Michael Malice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0lg_3PQnvk&ab_channel=GlennBeck and after seeing this, Michael Malice confirmed to me the same thing, that our Republic no longer exist and it has been a fantasy for over 100 years. Trump exposed the left and even to my shock how many so called conservatives were chameleon's hiding in plain sight. As you wrote, we need to organize and defeat the sickness within the GOP while taking out the trash as the Left needs to be pushed back on with all the energy we can muster. Michael Malice predicted a positive change, and it didn't include Trump or Desantis. Maybe Michael is right, some crisis will come upon us soon and a real leader that can get real American's consensus will rise from the ashes and take over the administrative state once and for all and put a stake in the heart of that evil.

Reading this is like watching a car crash happen on the slick, icy road in front of my house. I can see it coming, it is catastrophic, and the anticipated loss and suffering undeniable. But “reclaim power” is a very non-specific remedy, and not everyone chanting that mantra actually wants to avoid the crash. Brian is absolutely right that the crisis is URGENT! A good start would be to stop demonizing the people who saw the problem start decades ago and who have been madly shoveling salt the whole time.

I agree that I don't have any specific solutions here. I've written before about getting involved locally, taking back city councils, library boards, and state legislatures, and then using that influence to nudge society in the direction we want it to go. Unfortunately there is no magic bullet that we can use to simply fix everything all at once.

I hope that everyone who loves liberty can come together rather than demonizing each other. Michael Anton's "The Flight 93 Election" remains the gold standard in discerning between those who are serious about fixing our country and those who only mouth the proper shibboleths. https://claremontreviewofbooks.com/digital/the-flight-93-election/

I appreciate your input on this discussion - that's exactly what we need to find unity going forward.

Pretty much exactly how my family sees the state of the American Republic. Idaho's politics and administrative regime are a mini version of the national swamp.

Martin Armstrong says the Great Reset will fail, however they will destroy America in their attempt. I like the solution in this article. Rather than waiting for the inevitable, building a parallel system that will exist when the current one fails is a great idea.

Have you read Calhoun’s disquisition on government?

I have not, but I will look for it.

I believe you will appreciate how he defines the relationship between society and government and how prophetic he was in describing how power and parties would evolve in this country. His views reinforce your admonition to continue to build our organic societies. Thank you for your article!

Here are some actions to move us closer to returning to 1955 America.

The cancer (evil actors/swamp creatures) must be removed, think The Orkin Man. The houses that they occupy leveled, (federal buildings) so they can never be occupied again. Power returned to the States. Hold the federal government to the tasks spelled out in the US Constitution and only those. Enforce the return to Three Branches of our government and the duties and only those duties for each as spelled out in the US Constitution.

Until Individuals who participate in election fraud are held accountable for their evil deeds, (permanent solution, think dirt nap), nothing will change.

There is no border to our south, (trust me I see it with my own eyes, I winter in very southern AZ and am here now) it is wide open. We, Legacy White Americans, (LWA), will soon be out bread by a third world cancer that has purposely been injected into this once great society. The Military needs to take over the mission of securing our borders. And illegals cast out with extreme prejudice. To include All muslims, as they are a festering canker sore too, (Just look to the once Great Britain and other European countries).

We are at WAR and LWA must recognize this. Stern letters to congress, voting harder, using the system will not effect the change that is needed to return to 1955, or any semblance of 1955.

These actions sound like a script for a movie, and thats all it/this is, a fantasy. LWA do not have the spine of our founders. The spine has been bread out, indoctrinated out in public schools, shamed out of LWA society, and worst of all our church’s have been co-opted and leading with a “turn the other cheek” doctrine that has pacified LWA.

Tic Toc bitches, tic toc, time is running out. Whats ya gunna do punk?

Thanks for the very thoughtful analysis.

If anyone is interested, I follow up on these themes with a close look at the FBI in my review-essay of a new biography of J. Edgar Hoover, here:

Happy New Year (or as as happy as possible under the circumstances!)
