Reduce new gas and oil leases on federal lands to the lowest levels of any president in history. Cut back production at precisely the time the world is emerging from a two-year lockdown with pent-up consumer demand.
Make war on coal and nuclear power. Drain the strategic petroleum reserve to make the pain for consumers more bearable for midterm election advantage.

If you really want to destroy the United States of America simply vote Democrat.
I have a plan to destroy America by Richard D. Lamm
Listen to this speech given 10 years ago by Richard Lamm, former governor of Colorado. He outlines how America can be destroyed ‘easily’.
Full text and video on our site.
“I have a secret plan to destroy America. If you believe, as many do, that America is too smug, too white bread, too self-satisfied, too rich, let’s destroy America. It is not that hard to do.” Here is my plan:
1. We must first make America a bilingual-bicultural country. History shows, in my opinion, that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two competing languages and cultures.
2. I would then invent “multiculturalism” and encourage immigrants to maintain their own culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal: that there are no cultural differences that are important.
3. We can make the United States a “Hispanic Quebec” without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with a salad bowl metaphor.
4. Having done all this, I would make our fastest-growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated and antagonistic to our population.
5. I would then get the big foundations and big business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of victimology.
6. I would establish dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would “celebrate diversity.” “Diversity” is a wonderfully seductive word. It stresses differences rather than commonalities.
7. Then I would place all these subjects off-limits–make it taboo to talk about. I would find a word similar to “heretic” in the 16th century that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking.
8. Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hanson’s book “Mexifornia” –this book is dangerous; it exposes my plan to destroy America.
I have a plan to destroy America
by Richard D. Lamm
I have a secret plan to destroy America. If you believe, as many do, that America is too smug, too white bread, too self-satisfied, too rich, let’s destroy America. It is not that hard to do. History shows that nations are more fragile than their citizens think. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and they all fall, and that “an autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.” Here is my plan:
1. We must first make America a bilingual-bicultural country. History shows, in my opinion, that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. One scholar, Seymour Martin Lipset, put it this way: “The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy. Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with its Basques, Bretons and Corsicans.”
2. I would then invent “multiculturalism” and encourage immigrants to maintain their own culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal: that there are no cultural differences that are important. I would declare it an article of faith that the black and Hispanic dropout rate is only due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out-of-bounds.
3. We can make the United States a “Hispanic Quebec” without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently, “The apparent success of our own multiethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved, not by tolerance, but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentrically, and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.” I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with a salad bowl metaphor. It is important to insure that we have various cultural sub-groups living in America reinforcing their differences, rather than Americans emphasizing their similarities.
4. Having done all this, I would make our fastest-growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50 percent dropout rate from school.
5. I would then get the big foundations and big business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of victimology. I would get all minorities to think their lack of success was all the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population.
6. I would establish dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would “celebrate diversity.” “Diversity” is a wonderfully seductive word. It stresses differences rather than commonalities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other–that is, when they are not killing each other. A “diverse,” peaceful or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together, and we can take advantage of this myopia.
Look at the ancient Greeks. Dorf’s “World History” tells us: “The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshiped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic Games in honor of Zeus, and all Greeks venerated the shrine of Apollo at Delphi. A common enemy, Persia, threatened their liberty. Yet, all of these bonds together were not strong enough to overcome two factors … (local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions …)” If we can put the emphasis on the “pluribus,” instead of the “unum,” we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo.
7. Then I would place all these subjects off-limits–make it taboo to talk about. I would find a word similar to “heretic” in the 16th century that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like “racist”, “xenophobe” halt argument and conversation. Having made America a bilingual-bicultural country, having established multiculturalism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of “victimology,” I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra –”because immigration has been good for America, it must always be good.” I would make every individual immigrant sympatric and ignore the cumulative impact.
8. Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hanson’s book “Mexifornia” –this book is dangerous; it exposes my plan to destroy America. So please, please–if you feel that America deserves to be destroyed–please, please–don’t buy this book! This guy is on to my plan.

If you really wanted to destroy America, you’d institute a bribery system, (lobbying), so that foreign interests could easily buy whatever action they wanted out of the American government.
It’s a good thing this is a hard country to destroy. When do Republican politicians start reacting to Democrats are making war on America? Or are they in on it?
Energy is the master commodity. Nothing beyond cave-man existence happens without it.
The first farmers 5,000+ years ago learned to harness a new source of energy - plow oxen. With it, they increased food production (energy for the human body)
And since then ALL human economic advancement and technology has been based on using more, better, and more dense energy sources.
We are at a bizarre juncture in history where our elites are proposing, for the first time ever, we use more costly and LESS DENSE energy sources.
The world will collapse if their vision is even partially realized.
All of that in just two years we are living 1984 and how Marxism operates democrats are nearing their goal.
Media approved
What an article.
It saddens me to have to read things like this from VDH, not because it isn’t true, or he isn’t hitting the nail on the head solidly.
He has such a fine, discriminating intellect, it angers me that we have to depend on him to use it to try to ring a bell, which I fear we simply won’t answer.
Think of the excellent work we might get from him on other, less poisonous subjects, if he weren’t so critically needed (or rightfully compelled) to expound on these specific subjects.
He seems like a real gentleman, and I am sure he would rather be talking about other things too, but I am grateful beyond words that he is using his skill to try to wake people up before it is too late.
That makes 99%.
The remaining 1% are patriots who really care. Trump is in this group, as are people like Devin Nunes and occasionally, Rand Paul. There are so few of them. So few.
Already posted.
Great article but as you suggest can be summed up in one word (in Biden speak) or two words in normal English:
Vote Democrat.
Biden’s Chinese paymasters must be pleased.
When VDH talks about stolen elections, I’ll call him an important columnist.
VDH is spot on!
Very well said.
He is a national treasure. I put him right up there with Thomas Sowell.
1000% correct.
countless armies have been defeated throughout the ages without energy/supply chain.
The earth is one hell of a place, but without proper energy utilization, it simply can’t sustain 9+ billion people.
Imagine a genuine collapse of diesel supply—i’m talking the real deal. Then basically Manhattan becomes a city of 2+ million people packed into 22 square miles. No diesel means no fuel, which means no food, which means every man for himself.
Manhattan itself, if cutoff from the world can sustain what? a few hundred people at most if people were to start farming central park?
I’ve always been a big Sowell fan, too. Yes, both are national treasures. Sowell is now in his ninth decade of life and we may not have him much longer, which makes me sad. VDH does frequent podcasts I like to listen to while I do boring household tasks.
I understand why neither ever went into politics, but do wish our next president would see them as trusted advisors and consult their wisdom, at least from time to time.
I have always felt that way, but...I think the likes of VDH and Thomas Sowell don’t want to put their heads in the toilet we call politics!
Sigh. Maybe that is what we need to change. We get the likes of Maxine Waters and Adam Schiff to run our country.
It is a far cry from some of those who did it in the past, that is for sure.
