The Late Hour of Our Republic
I am compelled by the late hour of our republic to recognize how far we have come and how far we have slipped. After centuries of rising from a mere rabble of farmers and shopkeepers, homemakers and nurses to one of the most powerful and wealthy nations on earth, it took next to no time to fall amongst the casualties of broken empires.
The end of the United States has already been accomplished, it’s just a matter now of how it unfolds. Those in the Executive branch of government have already committed the ultimate treason, the violation of the borders, the destruction of the nation’s security. Our enemies have been gifted an open drawbridge to the castle and our enemies have stampeded in. The nation’s people now must confront those enemies with the spears of their own soldiers at their backs.
Every act of treason has been perpetrated upon the nation. Oaths of office have been disregarded in favor of financial consideration. The military has been left to languish in the arms of mocking social equity. The Treasury has been looted by debts racked up by mindless spending. Munitions have been discontinued. Military vehicles and armaments given to terrorists. If there is in the history of the world any more complete and comprehensive treason than this, I have not heard of it.
And yet, they continue to play the anthem, continue to raise the flag as if to hide their treason behind the vaunted ramparts of patriotism.
What is going to happen is what must happen, what is designed to happen and that is terrorist attacks, assaults from those enemies brought in by bus and plane, escorted to hotels to lavish them with gold and silver while they plan their attacks on us in peace and comfort. It is, perhaps, a cleansing of Americans from America. What is it that they hate so much about the people to whom they claim fealty?
We are a free people, no matter how well they have been able to submerge us below the caste of slave, there is a tradition of freedom and having been sequestered from it, it only glows stronger in our hearts. The new population will take well to their orders, recognize what no American does, the ability to obey.
Americans are radicals and they are rebellious. Our history is in the blood shed on battlefields of the Revolutionary and Civil War. That is the spirit that terrifies the slick suits and the coiffed hair of the elite.
It is my belief, and solely my own, that we, the United States of America, have been captured by the powerbase of the elite and that our representatives and senators now respond to that powerbase, that the people, that are the powerbase of America, have been conquered. It was done in secret, behind our backs, not in a war or through attrition, but by trickery and now whatever fighting we do for our nation is done for the powerbase of the elite.
Please understand that I am not suggesting a rebellion against the constitution or the United States Government. I am not suggesting a rebellion against those police forces, federal, state of local. I am merely suggesting that they have already been captured and act against the people of the United States and so the United States of America no longer exist. It was always an ideal, a set of invisible principles of behavior, or respecting the flag, a duty or an oath. It does not exist in tangible relief.
I tell you that the disinterestedness of our elected officials in our pleas to rectify the election process is a symptom of this capitulation to the powerbase of the elite. They don’t care, because they don’t have to. Anything that could implicate them in the fraudulent elections is discarded by those same elite. This is the same with the immigration laws, with the laws against theft, rape and murder. They don’t matter, because we do not live in a constitutional republic. Our rights have been subsumed by their system of graft and clout, of power and prestige.
That we have been so easily cheated of our birthright, so cleverly separated from our natural rights is embarrassing. While we continue to raise our hands in salute to the flag, it is symbolic of nothing. We are left with the shell of an emptied out system of order we’ve all lived and been willing to die for. But, as one can see, it is gone, it does not exist. If people enter a store and loot it, clean it out, do you not doubt that stopping it would be a much greater crime than letting it happen? That is their system, the elite system, because it does not hurt them, but does hurt those they detest, the American citizen.
You are being attacked daily by thugs and criminals who have been given the blessing to do so by the elite. Without saying so, for fear of a united backlash, they are trying to show you that you are a slave, that your nation is no more, that being an American is equal to being nothing.
I’m trying to rekindle that desire to be American, for that to mean something. The first priority, as far back as the Revolutionary War, if one is to establish the idea that being an American is a specific and particular thing, separate from a British subject, is and always has been, the fidelity first to the border and second to the rights we have been endowed with by our Creator. Nothing else matters as much as those two things.
If one is of a mind to do something to further this ideal of citizenship in America, it does not matter so much one’s political structure, i.e., the United States of America, or something else, the Articles of Confederation, as it does that one is an American. What does that mean? It means an absolute belief in the sanctity of our physical borders and that they are worth absolute, immediate and strident defense. It is also to believe that within those borders a citizen is endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. A list of those rights is in the Bill of Rights, but a better understanding of them is in the Nine Principles of Freedom. I don’t do this to sell books, I do it to increase understanding.
That is what an American is. Those in the powerbase of the elite seek our destruction through outright death, as in the Vaxx, or sterilization, or command and control of our cities. Ask yourself: Who are the enemies of the United States of America versus who are the enemies of the American people? They are not the same thing.
Russia and China are the enemies of the United States of America. Given what it stands for at this particular moment in time, I’m not sure I side against them. I am sure that I side with the American people. Recognizing the separation between the Government of the United States and the People of the United States is key to winning this war of survival. The government of the United States is waging a war of treason against the people of the United States. It’s inviting enemies of the people from around the world into our neighborhoods, our schools, our hospitals with the goal of displacing the people of the United States and bankrupting them, taking their property, taking their lives.
The first thing is to denounce the open border through every means of media that you have at your disposal. Denounce any spending bill that does not include spending on closing the border. What they call “border security” spending now simply means hiring buses and planes to get more illegals into the country through the open border. The funding has to be designated to closing the border, with a wall, with more guards, with the military if that’s what it takes. It cannot be tied to any other foreign aid; none for Ukraine, none for Israel, until the border is secure. We cannot spend tax dollars on securing the borders of foreign nations before we secure our own. The people of America, if they are to survive, have to first close the borders and assess the damage done. They have to assert the value of being an American. The only way to do that is to exert one’s dominion over their property, the United States. If any of our tax dollars are spent, they need to be spent in repatriating those who have come here illegally. We don’t have a nation if we don’t have a secure border.
For those of you who still think that the norms of a civilized society still obtain and that we can still appeal to our alleged representatives for remedy and redress, the author states: "I tell you that the disinterestedness of our elected officials in our pleas to rectify the election process is a symptom of this capitulation to the powerbase of the elite. They don’t care, because they don’t have to."
We need to face reality: that reality is that the same ideas that have animated the 20th century’s tyrants and worst mass murderers now have a happy home in the Democratic Party. The current crop of so-called “Democratic socialists" are merely worshippers in the same pew as Stalin, Castro, Mao, Chavez, Maduro and Pol Pot. They bow before the same altar of human sacrifice and power for power’s sake.
These monsters would rather rule in hell atop of a stinking heap of rubble and corpses than leave the rest of us alone to live in peace. They won’t leave us alone. It comes down to a fundamental conflict between those who think they have the right to dictate the terms of existence to everyone else and those of us who know that no such “right” exists. We’d just as soon that we be left alone to live our lives. But they - the Deep State, the ghouls running the WEF, Islamic murderers and madmen - that "they" won’t do it.
Titus Livy, in his introduction to his monumental history of Rome remarked that his purpose in writing was "to trace the progress of our moral decline, to watch, first, the sinking of the foundations of morality as the old teaching was allowed to lapse, then the rapidly increasing disintegration, then the final collapse of the whole edifice, and the dark dawning of our modern day when we can neither endure our vices nor face the remedies needed to cure them."
Now we must face the remedies needed to cure ourselves of the Marxist totalitarian rot that has overtaken us. That we have allowed to overtake us. Livy's cure will not take place in the voting both nor will it come from the forums of public debate.
Those have been lost to us, as any observant individual well knows.
The honest answers to the following questions won’t be pleasant to contemplate.
When your opponents lack the price of admission to civilized debate: a respect for reason, belief in objective truth, and a willingness to admit they’re wrong when the facts prove it so - what then?
When your opponents' goals are to destroy the very foundation of your culture and your society - and to offer nothing in return but the howling nightmare of a society of cannibals and looters - what then?
When your opponents use the public education system to indoctrinate your children's' minds in the politics of victimization, sexual depravity and the nobility of human servitude and sacrifice - what then?
When the institutions of higher learning are occupied by Marxist multiculturalists who despise the very philosophical foundation upon which the architecture of liberty and human dignity have been constructed and seek to destroy it - what then?
We know the answer - as historian Samuel P. Huntington said in his Clash of Civilizations, "History shows that no country so constituted can long endure as a coherent society." And now we must pay the price for Livy’s cure in fire and famine, disease and blood.

My only gripe with this analysis is the idea that the people once ruled, but the elite has now taken over.
Elites always rule. If a country is blessed, the incentives of the ruling elites will be broadly aligned with the good of the populace.
But in countries in decline (or, perhaps, under Judgement) elite incentives diverge from the good of the country.
In every Western country now, the elites have absolute hatred and contempt for their Heritage populations and are working to destroy and replace them as quickly as they can.
The elites, rulers and leaders of the West are all evil and disgusting. They are perverted and degenerate and deserve to Fall.
By the Hand of the Lord, we will be freed of them, and God-fearing leaders and rulers and elites will be raised up to replace them.

While this is a fine documentation of the loss of the Republic, the late hour probably occurred before the author was born...
The hour was late by 1919, when several daggers had already been plunged into the Constitutional Republic by three Presidents: Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson...
At least five bloody wounds were bleeding profusely from the daggers:
Theft of state lands to create federal government-owned parks...
The federal Reserve...
The 16th Amendment...
The 17th Amendment...
The (now) permanent war powers act...
When FDR came onto the scene he stole American citizen's gold, flooded his administration with known and suspected communists, backed us into a war, and then stole a chunk of every American's paycheck by taking out federal taxes without representation...
He promised that it was "temporary" for the duration of the war... We all know how that turned out!
This sneak taxation method was the final dagger blow...
Now citizens would not get the truthful realization they obtained by the traditional year-end tax pmts and eventually, as planned, the citizens became mere serfs, blind to the Marxist budget growth of the next 80 years...
The Marxists have had free reign to exponentially increase the control, by the government, of every aspect of the American serf's lives...
Trillions in debt, a country in a chaotic state of disunity, half of the serfs despise both the former Constitution and the cultural western principals it embodied...
The America that stood as a beacon of freedom to the world no longer exists...
There are absolutely no warnings that can, or will, save the Nation...
The multitude of clear & present warnings over the past 110 years were totally ignored or ridiculed...
The Founding Fathers left a clear path to restore the Republic...
You are correct in your assessment. The turn of the last century essentially marked the end of the “gentlemen’s agreement” that held between the East Coast / English elites and the Midwest / West coast elites wherein the Presidency and the trappings of the rule of law was passed back and forth like a football. The rise of the Progressives crashed that party and led to our present predicament.
The federal Reserve...
The 16th Amendment...
The 17th Amendment...
1913 was quite the year, wasn’t it ?
What happened after 1933 could not have happened but for the changes in 1913.
The People of the United States are the owners of this nation, and their flag is Old Glory. The Government of the United States is nothing more than the glorified management company we've hired to keep the trains running on time.
The beauty of the Constitution is that it allows thorough reform without (one would hope) bloody revolution.
Yes the decline of our nation is great. But what we have, that Rome and other failed republics didn't, is our inspired and very robust Constitution.
We need to get after all three branches to observe and enforce it.
This is by far the better option than bloody revolution, after which, the 'constitution' governing us may be very primitive and very evil.
We are only as free as we make the effort to know why.

...
The Republic is broken because of unchecked entry by foreign trash from the third world, by public largess for votes, by social media, by memes, trending and our mainstream media.
Our laws are only being enforced by Democrats when it is convenient or beneficial to them and being used as a political weapon against traditional Americans who believe in a Republic over mob rule (democracy).
Our only defense now is a Supreme Court that thankfully has a majority of non-Democrats, but every step its decisions take back towards the Republic our founders gave us will be met with the vehemence we see in the Roe v Wade reversal.

Secssion. It's coming.
BS.
The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form.
