“Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security of the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.” America, circa 2019, operates on borrowed time.

TIMES UP!
We're into the "Praetorian Guard" phase of the decline and fall of America that Thomas Jefferson predicted 200 yrs ago.
When all government ...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821

FReepers should take note of the historical lessons in Russia.

First, the Tsars were driven out by populists.

While they were trying to form a gov’t, the communists stepped in and took over as “friends of the working class”.

It did not happen overnight and the players were all known for years before Lenin rose to the top.

We should keep these historical events in mind at all times.
