The federal government needs to do only ten things to destroy the US
American Thinker ^ | 5 Dec, 2022 | John Dale Dunn

Posted on 12/05/2022 4:57:12 AM PST by MtnClimber

Victor Davis Hanson is one of the most deservedly admired conservative writers/authors commentators in America. That’s why his recent essay about what it will take to destroy America is worthy of your attention.

Just to emphasize the knowledge and thoughtfulness Hanson brings to his essay, a brief professional bio shows that he is affiliated with the Hoover Institution at Stanford and writes for a number of conservative sites. He’s also written more than 20 books since 1983, with subjects ranging from ancient history and culture, military history through the millennia from the Greeks to modern times and, in the last decade, he has been an influential and lucid political author and commenter on culture and politics in America. I have reviewed at American Thinker his last two books, one book on World War II and another about citizenship.

Hanson’s essay breaks down into ten steps, which he analyzes in some detail. I’ve summarized those ten points, although I urge his entire essay.

First, surrender America’s energy independence. In this regard, Hanson touches upon attacking coal and nuclear power, draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, canceling oil and gas leases while blocking pipelines, and focusing excessively and expensively on green energy.

Second, inflate the currency and punish those with fixed income while increasing the welfare state.

Third, erase America’s borders while diluting the number of assimilated and patriotic citizens.

Fourth, destroy the public’s faith in elections by changing the rules so as to allow for easy fraud via ballot harvesting and mail-in voting.

Infiltrating the American population with foreign freeloading scumbags is the biggest threat to America.

Fourth, destroy the public’s faith in elections by changing the rules so as to allow for easy fraud via ballot harvesting and mail-in voting.

Fifth, redefine crime and the rule of law, hobble law enforcement while coddling miscreants.

Six—and Hanson says this so eloquently I’ll simply quote him—“junk the ossified idea of a melting pot and multiracial society united by common American values and ideals.”

Seven, surrender national sovereignty to a globalist elite and appease or acquiesce to America haters and enemies abroad.

Eight, use a fascist allegiance between the government and tech companies to destroy the First Amendment and criminalize anyone who opposes the oligarchy.

Nine, attacking half the country, painting them as un-American, hate-filled, terroristic enemies of the state—and add strength to these accusations by twice impeaching their political leader.

Ten, create a public health false crisis and cover up the cause, use the crisis to create an autocracy that is superficially presented as beneficent but is actually a power grab and a road to tyranny. I would add that you should weaponize the public health structure to impose martial law and suspend civil rights arbitrarily by a decision of the executive branch health officials and elevate to high authority public health officials who subsidized Chinese gain-of-function research and imposed mitigation measures that were not supported by science but enabled the tyrants to exert control on the populace.

As VDH would say…..’We’re there’……!!!!!!

The ‘powers that be’ have handily done ALL leading to our destruction.
May God have mercy on us.

My only HOPE is in the Lord
He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy!
Pray for mercy!

It’s done already. The question is, are we going to stand there and take it?

Once you have 51% of the voting public dependent on Gov’t hand outs....There is no need to “cheat”...The Gov’t will pride itself on “Free and Fair elections”....

Speaking of elections...

Folks, check out who the county voting machine inspectors are for your counties.

Just a suggestion.

* Incrementally outlaw firearms and ammunition.

* Clamp down access to free speech

* Capture and subvert voting and the vote tabulation process

* Create a virus which kills the most conservative portion of the population

* Make citizen mobility dependent upon government power sources.

* Lie about who you are

* Accuse your opposition of the infractions which you perform.....

“Democracy is on the ballot.” Yes it is.

And just what does he suggest we actually do about all of this..????

There are lots of articles that point out the problems but very few seem to offer any solid solutions or actions that can be taken to solve the problems. And NO I don’t want to hear about the revolution solution...that won’t happen.

Bingo! That is the BOTTOME LINE

And it leads to the #1 most direct, most efficient way to destroy the U.S. - use corrupted elections at the state level and then encourage, allow, coerce the federal government to turn its head at the results.

Trump had a good point when he recently suggested: the Constitution's safeguards designed to block corrupted elections failed miserably in our last presidential elections.

What millions of Americans do not understand--and perhaps can not understand, because it is beyond their imagination--is this:

The cabal who control Biden and the Democrat Party fully intend to destroy the USA.

That is their objective.

They consider the USA to be an evil, racist, nazi nation which should be destroyed, must be destroyed, and will be destroyed.

To weaken the USA sufficiently to allow it to be dominated--perhaps conquered--by a hostile foreign power is part of their plan, but their ultimate plan is the complete destruction of the USA.

Understand this, and everything falls into place.

The greatest danger is that this reality is beyond the belief, imagination, and comprehension of millions of Americans, who are the useful idiots of the cabal.
