The United States no longer has, as the Constitution designed, a government composed of executive, legislative and judicial branches, separate, but equal in power.
The federal government is now an alliance of branches, devoted to the preservation of government itself, separate, not from each other, but from the American people and dedicated to tyranny.
The policies pursued by the Obama Administration and facilitated by cowardly politicians and a compliant media are not simply the intersection of radical ideology and incompetence, but a dangerous subversive element of an anti-American and anti-Western strategy.
Cultural Marxism and its many variants, such as political correctness and multiculturalism, is now firmly ensconced in the White House and the Democrat Party, while the Republican Party, dominated by eunuchs and the avaricious, continuously accommodates its “principles” to match an ever-shifting leftward movement of the “conventional wisdom.” It does so solely in to maintain its place as the token opposition and grifter at the federal tax-revenue trough for the personal financial benefits that it provides.
After the successful 1917 communist revolution in Russia, it was widely believed that a proletarian revolt would sweep across Europe and, ultimately, North America. It did not.
As a result, the Communist International began to investigate other ways to create the state of societal hopelessness and alienation necessary as a prerequisite for socialist revolution – in essence, to destroy western democracy from within.
The single, most important organizational component of this conspiracy was a Communist think tank called the Institute for Social Research, popularly known as the Frankfurt School. The task of the Frankfurt School was first, to undermine the Judeo-Christian foundation of Western civilization that emphasized the uniqueness and sacredness of the individual and, second, to determine new cultural forms which would increase the disaffection of and division among the population.
Just as in classical economic Marxism, certain groups, i.e. workers and peasants, are a priori good, and other groups, i.e., the bourgeoisie and capital owners, are evil; in Cultural Marxism feminist women, racial and ethnic minorities and those who define themselves according to sexual orientation are deemed good and “victims” of societal injustice. Similarly, white males and “privilege” and, by extension, Western civilization, are automatically and irredeemably malevolent.
Sound familiar? It has been the playbook of the American left for over sixty years. The aim is not to solve social injustice or protect “rights, “of which the left can concoct an endless supply, but to undermine and topple Western democracy.
The new element in this formula, using the “enemy of my enemy is my friend” paradigm, is what David Horowitz described as an unholy alliance between leftists and radical Islam. They have been brought together by the traits they share – their hatred of Western civilization and their belief that the United States is the embodiment of evil on earth. While Islamic radicals seek to purge the world of heresies and of the infidels who practice them, leftist radicals seek to purge society’s collective “soul” of the vices allegedly spawned by capitalism — those being racism, sexism, imperialism, and greed.
That combination of these ultimately mutually exclusive, but temporarily useful, ideologies is arguably the modus operandi of Barack Hussein Obama and his inner circle with a larger cast of fellow travelers and useful idiots.
It is no surprise, then, that lying and secrecy have become the hallmarks of an administration immune both to facts and reason, plagued by contradictions and led by an individual with the impatience and petulance of an insecure adolescent from a political party with the emotional stability of a disgruntled postal worker.
Obama’s transformation is fundamentally the degradation and humbling of a great nation he considers venal and corrupt, but is, in reality, merely a description of the content of his own character.
He and his present anointed successor and Mini Me, Hillary Clinton, are manifestations of modern-day, totalitarian Liberalism, in its insatiable thirst for power, where persuasion is replaced by coercion to implement policies that are inherently damaging to liberty and the national interest.
Unfortunately, the federal government, as an institution, has largely come to reflect those same characteristics, the tyranny that led the Founding Fathers to declare independence.
In their effort to make the central government “too big to fail,” the political-media complex has made it too corrupt to reform.

Civil disobedience is a very powerful force if enough people participate (i.e., it is properly organized). It drove the Brits out of India, Morsi out of Egypt, the Soviets out of Russia, and the communists out of Poland and E. Germany.
We the 53% should stop paying taxes. Just saying.
You dont have to completely stop paying taxes. What would happen it millions of people just make some simple math errors? I bet that would gum up the system good.
If a white woman can claim to be black, and Jenner,a man, a woman, can I be a Tax exempt foundation. I thought I was one since I was three yrs old!
Possibly, but not the best choice, I think. It could precipitate anarchy, which would not be desirable for the 53%, and also the IRS has sharper claws than most agencies. A huge march on DC with everyone holding pitchforks might be much better.
You mean, instead of endless arguments that now only serve the purpose of preventing us from ever taking any effective actions?
I agree with you.
Agreed.
That’s roughly what Daniel Greenfield said on his Sultan Knish blog.
This is a really good piece. Spot on. Thank you for posting it, Randall.
Collapse is inevitable. Civil disobedience is necessary. Be as wise as serpents & as harmless as doves. Resist without “showing” resistance.
They want chaos & disarray. Deprive them of it. Co-ordinate, get organized, small groups to larger & larger groups. Don’t “protest”- have a picnic or potluck or softball game, whatever, where people are enjoying life with your purpose as a backdrop or a bold decorative element. This will send a subtle message & be good for *our* morale + the obvious accomplishments. Provide a contrast for observers to choose from.

Hi Rodamala,
I once read that if there was an organized effort to file a lawful extension, the government would have a serious cash flow problem. Extensions are automatic (require no permission) and are until October 15. Of course, it would be necessary to do that for persons that owe; persons getting refunds could file on time.
Thoughts?

The lyrics to Silent Running, immediately come to mind:
Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still
Oh, do you have a link handy? Thx
You form a group right now, and you just give them a target. Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Also, right now laughter is the best weapon. Start laughing at them whenever you hear a corrupt Crony speak. Of course when the shooting starts, all plans go out the window. IMHO.
And what does a collapse look like?
Your observation is accurate but it ignores the formal registration of the Wrong which may just become wallpaper before very long.
True, we need a William Wallace to scream out Freeedooom so loud, that even the Scottish King and his Knights will become rebels.
I too feel we are on the verge of a civil insurrection the likes of which have not been seen in this country since the civil war. The left knows this and that is the true reason that they have been trying to take away our right to bear arms. It is no exaggeration that there are millions of patriotic well armed and trained Americans who are fed up with getting up every day to news that the President/dictator and his minions in Washington and the media have come up with another way to usurp our constitution rights. It seems never ending and that no one listens or cares about what the majority of Americans think. We also see many other citizens just going on and either ignoring what is happening or pretending that they don’t see it or they have been brainwashed by the media to accept it as the right thing to do, For years Hollywood has been making movies and television programs with the purpose of trying to make us believe that homosexuality is right. And so many brain dead Americans bought it. It has now come to the point where I believe also that armed insurrection is the likely outcome. I mentioned this to one of those brain dead citizens once and the idiot replied that they would not stand a chance because the government has nuclear weapons. I had to school him on the fact that using nuclear weapons on your own citizens, even if they are insurrectionist that it would not be likely or very smart since you would be in fact using them on your own soil and killing more on your side than the other. I also believe that when a reservist is called up to fight and kill his relatives and neighbors that few of them will answer the call and will instead chose to change sides. So how close are we to this happening is the big question. I am surprised it has not already started. I think all that is missing is a courageous, charismatic, and dynamic leader to issue the call to action. Right now American patriots are separate and unorganized but the right leader could bring them together into an unstoppable force. We are indeed living in a very dangerous time and I pray that there is still a chance for a peaceful solution, but when the opposition is no longer card what you have to say I see little chance. Take heart fellow patriots and ready yourself for a call to action..
I agree. It is not I who seeks anarchy - it is anarchy that seeks me. The left has been drawn to it like a mosquito to the zapper, and has dragged us along against our wills. I don't want it but I do anticipate it and plan to respond accordingly.
Settling scores will just be the icing on the cake.
