And that's to acknowledge our True Savior.

American civilization has been turned upside down, and we have a rendezvous soon with the once unthinkable and unimaginable.
In the last six months, we have borne witness to many iconic moments evidencing the collapse of American culture.
The signs are everywhere and cover the gamut of politics, the economy, education, social life, popular culture, foreign policy, and the military. These symptoms of decay share common themes.
Our descent is self-induced; it is not a symptom of a foreign attack or subterfuge. Our erosion is not the result of poverty and want, but of leisure and excess. We are not suffering from existential crises of famine, plague, or the collapse of our grid and fuel sources. Prior, far poorer, and war-torn generations now seem far better off than what we are becoming.
What is happening to us is not due to an adherence to a too strict conservative tradition but is almost exclusively the wage of the progressive project.
In short, we are seeing fissures that America has not experienced in our cultural history since the Civil War. The radical Left apparently feels such chaos, anarchy, and nihilism are necessary to topple past norms and customs and thereby adhere to a socialist, equity agenda that no one in normal times would stomach.
Some of the decay is existential and fundamental; some anecdotal and illustrative. But either way, while decline came about gradually over decades, its sudden and abrupt chaos during the three years of Biden’s presidency has shocked Americans.
Financial Implosion
As long as interest rates were de facto zero, both parties ran up gargantuan debt. Now the national debt has hit $34 trillion. But two odd things have also happened under the Biden administration that are beginning to undermine the very existence of the U.S. financial system:

It always happens slowly and then all at once.

Societal collapse is like bankruptcy— gradually, then all of a sudden. It began under the Bush I regime, had fits and starts through Clinton, Bush II and Obama, was checked briefly by Trump, then all hell has broken loose as the seeds of the flowers of evil burst into toxic bloom under Biden.
And that's to acknowledge our True Savior.

There are no longer any political solutions. Buckle up.
I’d say it started with Ted Kennedy and LBJ and the 1965 immigration act and the great society.

One of themes of Stalin’s takeover was that the revolution always needs blood. in other words — chaos & anarchy!
The left is following the same playbook
Warlords always need a war! Stability is their enemy!
With regard to all the leisure time that Americans typically get, the maxim “idle hands are the devil’s workshop” comes to mind.
It started even before that with the creation of the Federal Reserve.
Independent city states can be created for Democrats and as many invaders they care to financially support.
I am afraid it will happen much sooner than later. Thought I was safe at nearly 70 and out of this mess in 20 years, it may very well happen within a couple of years.
“War is the health of the State.”
Randolph Bourne
The biggest jump occurred during the FDR administration which was knowingly filled with communists. Today’s world economic system was designed by Harry Dexter White, a Soviet agent. He authored the Morgenthau Plan which almost sent Western Europe into the arms of the Soviets.
No it didn't. It began much earlier during the hedonistic 1960s. One could even say it was born in the 1920s with the first push against the Victorian moral code, but for sure that impulse against honor and morality gathered steam in the 1960s and it has only grown exponentially ever since.
