america on the brink? Will I actually see that? Not that it might not come in my life, but i doubt 1 in 1 million have the sense of mind to read the world that well. A momentous moment in history, the actual beginning of the fall of the US. This was something in my youth, i was not half opposed to, as i watch our system destroy a president.
I was in 2nd grade, or thereabouts, when the head nun who ran our school came into our classroom and asked us all to stand and pray for the president of the united states, as he had been killed minutes before. The word president didn’t really evoke much, nor did kill, but my little heart saw the light fall from faces, replaced by tear and frown.
Many years later, i rejoiced in watching a president destroy himself, although i did not really understand anything except that i felt i was a good judge of character, and clearly the man was rotten. So i thought at the time. Now in late years, i know how little i have always known, and so perhaps just what my heart tells me must suffice.
What it tells me is that there is no reason we must kill and hate, we just mistakenly do. There might be enough food for all, if we really tried to understand what we would need to do to provide for all. I don’t want it to be inequitable, it should not be. Perhaps we are beyond the point of being able to do any of that. What i’m trying to say is that many of us have wildly differing views about how things should be.
Our country is an experiment where we try to do that without might making right, because that is no nation. The farthest thing from it. If only winning by force makes us entitled to rule, then we will have nothing.
In the tale of two presidents, i learned that people who did not agree with the president were wrong to hurt others to challenge his ideas, because we have a system, which if applied, has an infinitely better chance of being about law, than riot. It is of no matter that a well armed populace may if in sufficient number or trait, conquer every foe. We have forgotten the meaning of the words of a great great president.
A house divided against it self cannot stand. No doubt once committed to the idea of forcibly refusing the south the right to succeed, Lincoln would use every advantage available to him to secure a victory. No doubt his opponent held the same measure of resolve.
A typical false flag operation to take down the gov’t of the US would likely require the implicit approval from at least some of our allies. Obviously this would have to carried out with the utmost of secrecy. Keeping secrets is expensive, for a gov’t. The bigger the risk, the larger the bill. So whoever might try to do this unlawfully will do several things.
Firstly there must be insofar as possible a reduction in vigor of the target. Anything which will contribute to the unreadyness to defend is encouraged. News media, financial and other sectors, all encouraged and thwarted as often as possible. Then division should be sown, relentlessly like a burr undersaddle. Before this unravels actors should be released into the population to do violence, and make the people fear and call out for order. Standard tactics, Overthrow 101…
Ready to sweep away the bad, comes the savior to take the reigns by force, having no vote taken. Right by might. Not to be be confused with the victories of war. The first time it was done in modern history, wow, heady stuff. Then somebody said Hey, guys, this is effective shit. If WE did it, being the good guys…I see how it gets. Now it’s old hat.
It is no large matter to take a nation by force. The mechanics are not insurmountable. Position is everything. As in all war, the high ground is the advantage. Something to think about, who might be ready, moral feathers ruffled. Here i come to save the day!
It should not be that unrest topple the rule of law. Such a wrong cannot be overstated, because although we have the right to rise up and lawfully remove our gov’t, without the investment in the law we will attain only the rule of the wilderness. Not using the law at its most needed hour, will be it’s demise. In that defeat, someone somewhere may mistakenly think this is a victory, but even hundreds of millions can be wrong.
The scenario is the playbook of every dictator and propagandist in history. It doesn’t matter if you are right, and not even if everyone of us are good. The people will not be taking the reigns of power in this new utopia. It will go to those closest to power. Deep in their hearts, they all hate Caesar, and with good reason. None of that means they give a shit about you. It will be a coup in a country with one of the best constitutional bulwarks against tyranny.
A house divided.
