[B-Chan]

Every country is controlled by a political and financial elite. Our country has flourished because it has until recently been controlled by an elite that paid lip service to the traditions and values of Western, Christian civilization. However, this is no longer the case. The People -- that is, those who are the most skillful at controlling the people -- run the show now.

The only solution is to let it all come down. Once the power of the State collapses, natural leaders will arise from within the various ethnic tribes and will lead them in competition with one another for resources and territory. A few generations of warlords will pass before these various tribal arrangements become sanctioned by the Church, and we'll be back to monarchy again. Sic transit gloria mundi.

It is quite clear to me that much of the population of this country will only learn the hard way. How that exactly occurs remains to be seen.

I stay alert and active, but my overriding trust is in God. ;-)
