The Economic Vise is Closing. Your Freedom is Almost Gone.
Welcome to Hamilton’s legacy: the Federalist nightmare.
The clamp is tightening. Your social freedoms are almost gone. Call me a conservative. Call me a liberal. Such labels are misleading, childish, and rigid, and you’ll be wrong either way. I am merely a member of the last bastion of rational thought left in a golden age of knowledge and reason — an age that is slipping away.
We have endured millennia of slavery, misogyny, religious persecution, and the unbridled destruction of wisdom. We have seen hoards of barbarians destroy the foundations of ancient Western thought. We have sat idly by while Catholicism laid ruin to almost every last remaining vestige of a vast Central American repository of collected knowledge. And yet, we still have not learned.
The global economy is once again crumbling. Listen to me. Every single empire in history has fallen to economic catastrophe. You might think the causes were social or political, but they were not — they were economic.
Your currencies are failing. Your countries are obligated to debts they can only repair through wars — wars they will lose. Jefferson will be repudiated, one way or another — even if we have to submerge ourselves in second dark age. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can stand up to our oppressors. We don’t have to accept this fate.
These are no longer the “United States.” Your so-called “freedoms” were stripped away over a century ago. The days are long-past when you could sit on your sofa and point your accusatory finger at the “Obama,” or the “Bush.” The blame lies with the regime — a regime that got its power from our complacency. It has run its course.
I wish we could be done with the long days of civil war. But I’m afraid we are not. I am addressing the rational in you when I say this: no matter what your belief or bent, please consider the possibility that we are moving headlong toward revolution. Let us fight for disassembly of this dying creature in the most mature and humane way. Otherwise, we will suffer the consequences endured by our forebears — and our children are going to die unnecessarily.

Wish I thought differently.
Wish I didn't see exactly what you see.
But I don't.
If, ifs and buts, were candy and nuts, then everyday would be Christmas.
It ain't Christmas.
Bravo. Good article.

Guns and Ammo.
It's not just a magazine anymore.
(with no apologies to Andy Stern)
Seeds, toilet paper and water purification too. You can't drink ammo, nor water your plants with it.
Paco,
States rights is all that stands between us and the collapse. At least you are in Texas.
I couldn't agree more, and I'm grateful to be right in the middle of the Lone Star Republic.
Good post Paco. As a Texas-Ex, I'll be moving back when the lone star moves back to the top of the pole.

We'll be waiting for you.
Fixing the 16th Amendment (probably via class action lawsuit) is the best place to start. Good luck to you all…
