“What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.” --Ecclesiastes 1:9
“Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.” --George Santayana
What we face as a nation is daunting; if we do not correct our left-leaning course, we will fall into the ashbin of history. The city on the hill. Gone.
The U.S. is moving quickly towards a centralized state. Our liberties, our culture, and our national greatness are being subverted. Subverted by a corrupt, clever, twisted, amorphous blob of powerful people. Most of the old media, the new technocratic media (i.e.,: Facebook and Google), one entire political party, part of the other party, along with the unelected bureaucracies and spy agencies of the U.S. are all a part of this blob.
Evil that’s difficult to overcome.
What this blob is doing is not new. These current evils have often been repeated. During the French Revolution, Robespierre et al. terrorized their population, and thought they could control people, not just what they did, but what they thought. Their ideas turned bloody. Would our elites repeat those evils to retain power? Yes. Consider the horrid treatment of the J6 prisoners and the Trump family as a beginning.
More recently, the Soviet state and its satellites controlled their citizens in horrible ways. China has been doing the same since the Cultural Revolution and continues today. This is not new. Unchecked tyranny corrupts, causing massive harm.
Our government was originally set up to counter the capacity of centralized power to overwhelm individual rights, to guard its citizenry from the government itself. To provide a culture of freedom where good can thrive, and great things can be accomplished.

We need a reckoning or we don’t make it.
I wonder; who are "we"? I suggest the answer is generally to be found in a sufficient number of citizens who will eventually forsake a false sense of safety for the hard work of convincing their families, neighborhoods and acquaintances that it's past time for change. And that will take catalysts of sufficient magnitude:
I believe the left will eventually provide enough of these catalysts for change...The question is one of how much damage will result to the nation in the meantime?
Does Western Civilization want to be saved?
Our government was originally set up to counter the capacity of centralized power to overwhelm individual rights.
The Constitution was set for our protection and look what the democrats did to that DC is more like a bribe trade center.
When the crash happens, the ones decrying that it wasn’t their fault the loudest will be the ones at fault.
Great article. However. It’s over. The global cabal of tue Military Industrial, Business industrial, medial industrial, and educational industrial complexes have determined that western culture is bad and needs to be destroyed. It’s a slow fade, until it’s over.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. -- John AdamsIs it any surprise that we are facing the collapse of our society?
