America 'unrecognizable' and on the brink of collapse, experts warn: 'Turning on our own legacy'.
Fox News ^ | 2.7.2023 | Taylor Penley

Is America dying before our eyes? All societies eventually collapse – from the classical civilizations of Ancient Rome and Greece to the ever-alarming decline of modern America, could the past be hinting at what's in store? With skyrocketing inflation, political division, social unrest and a relentless effort to wipe away the fundamental principles of the nation, historians and scholars in Fox Nation's "American Requiem" series offer an elegy for what the country used to be and warn of what it has become.

“..We want to live without God ‘telling us what to do’
ONLY by repenting of our sins, and calling out in faith to God, thru Jesus the Christ, will begin the healing of our nation. This means ALL of us.....”

^THIS^
The Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever.... He doesn’t change.
With that being said, without the ^above^ happening, we, as a nation and as individuals, will be facing what is described in Lamentations Chapter 4.
It will happen to America....it’s already at the doorstep.

Obama promised to ‘fundamentally transform America’...the Progressives are the instruments he is using.

Folks,

What does history tell us?

There is always a fight. There are winners and losers.

AND THERE IS A REBUILDING.

So, what should we do now?

“The swamp is too big and deep to drain politically.”

*************

You are absolutely right. Instead of the government fearing the people, the people now fear the government.

The Swamp is vast and deeper than most can imagine. It is like an army that is there to protect itself instead of protecting the country they are supposed to be serving.

It’s not incompetence.
It’s intentional.

“The Cloward–Piven strategy focused on overloading the United States public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis, which would ultimately lead to replacing the welfare system with a national system of “a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty”.

The only thing that will wake people up will be something catastrophic, like an EMP.

It’s hard to come back from the death throes.

Unless and until we see a nationwide turn to God in repentance and revival, we are toast.

Only God can deliver us now and what with the way the government is going, I don’t see that as very likely, sad to say.

All societies eventually collapse

If we are going to call what we are witnessing a 'collapse' then we should refer to it as an 'engineered collapse'. Everything we are witness to is purposeful.

It’s been underway for years, and with the southern border wide open, it’s working according to C&P’s agenda.

Since the late 60s, it’s been the plan.Reagan and Trump merely interrupted the flow, but it’s back on full spigot now.

***It is 6.5% now - while during Carter's time it nearly hit 15%***

Inflation is calculated differently now. According to some observers it is comparable now and then.

Yeah this is rich coming from FNC. Fox led the charge to spike and ridicule every example of election fraud and it continues to this day. Tucker has done some good reporting but that is it. Even he is very muted when it comes to that. I suspect he’s been given an ultimatum.

This has been caused by our own un-willingness to pick up our rifles and actually shoot the enemies of God.

If you look at the trajectory Trump was well on his way. If he not had his second term stolen we would be having an entirely different conversation. The rats/deep state have spent the last 3 years constructing a fortress to prevent it from happening again. Even if Trump returned it would seem to be insurmountable. A lame duck from day 1 and an older Trump. Toss in the GOP indifference to the ubiquitous voter fraud and l see little hope.

Victor Davis Hanson is typical of the GOP types that ran away from Prop 7 and generally deliberately ignored the culture wars for as long as possible. He owned an almond farm and hired illegals, he was a professor and would not fight the culture war and opposed Prop 7. Now he is all upset.
