End of Empire, Age of Refounding

We have the mechanism within the federalist structure of our Constitution to achieve a re-founding.

Across America there is a palpable sense of disbelief in the current state of our nation. A once mighty global power founded on the precepts of liberty, impartial justice, and unassailable individual rights has become anything but. The people, once relatively united under a national identity, have splintered into the many—confused, distrustful of one another, and weary of the continuous stream of lies and abuse from America’s increasingly corrupt institutions.

Beyond America, our formerly democratic allies have succumbed to full-fledged authoritarianism—a path on which we, too, are traveling. Videos of the horrendous abuse of Australian citizens by their police and military circulate across social media creating a frightening preview of what our ruling elites have in store for us. What is now a nearly full-blown citizen uprising is marching through Australia, a key member of our intelligence and security partnership known as the Five Eyes. And things are not much better in western Europe. How much longer will the one-sided abuse of citizens continue by these Western “democracies?” Perhaps not long.

Empires and nations fall when they no longer offer intrinsic value to their populations. They fall when they can no longer maintain the illusion of a path to prosperity for their people. They fall when their people no longer believe the nation’s institutions and leaders. And when they fall, it isn’t always a sudden disastrous apocalypse, it’s often a slow-motion decay marked by the disillusionment of the masses, incompetence of the ruling class, and the inanity of the intelligentsia. Did the Romans recognize their empire falling as it happened? Did the British comprehend their diminishment before their Suez moment? Did Americans see their end before the “debacle in Kabul?” In our case, while some try to decipher the significance of our current dysfunction, most still cannot imagine a world without America.

The Symptoms of Our Insanity

What explains these insanities that are insults to the American people’s intelligence?

Item: The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, does not deny that: 1) he deliberately aborted the legal chain of operational command—that is, violated the law—by recalibrating established protocols for using nuclear weapons in times of crisis. And he says his interventions were based on his own diagnoses (after prompting from opposition leader, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi) that the commander-in-chief was crazy, and thus could be circumvented.

And 2), in freelancing style, Milley, on more than one occasion, called the top figure of the Chinese Communist People’s Liberation Army, General Li Zuocheng. He reportedly announced that his own country was currently in crisis (experiencing “messy” democracy), reassuring the Chinese that if he, Milley, the newfound autokrator, sensed there was any chance of hostile and aggressive action on the part of his own country, then on his own initiative he would tip off the Chinese in advance. And far from resigning or being fired for his Strangelovian efforts, Milley would then be hailed as a hero by the popular media and progressive civil libertarians.

Item: The United States military in the middle of the night abandoned the largest air base in Central Asia, after investing hundreds of millions of dollars in retrofitting the vast complex, as part of a hasty end to a 20-year presence in Afghanistan.

In the last few remaining hours of our withdrawal, Americans would skedaddle to the airport, lose 13 soldiers to a suicide bomber, while guarding our final escape route, retaliate for the killing by accidentally blowing up a civilian relief worker and killing 10 of his family and friends including 7 children, wait almost 2 weeks to disclose said disaster, abandon a $1 billion embassy, dismiss 8,000 NATO allied troops in Afghanistan to fend for themselves, leave behind for Taliban terrorists some $80 billion worth of weaponry and training investment in their usage, fly into the United States some 100,000 unvetted, unvaccinated Afghan refugees in the midst of a pandemic, while leaving behind among the Taliban thousands of Afghans loyal to the U.S. mission—and likely 100-200 Americans.

Item: In the fiscal year 2021-22, how could an anticipated two million illegal aliens simply swarm the border, illegally cross it, continue to reside in the United States illegally, and do so in a time of a pandemic without either a COVID-19 test or vaccination? Who has unilaterally decided that U.S. executive officials could forsake their oaths to enforce existing laws, and simply decide to nullify American immigration law?

Item: The nominal head of the COVID-19 administration task force has been forced to admit under oath that he directed the U.S. government to route, through a close associate and third-party medical group, hundreds of thousands of dollars of American research funding to the Chinese Communist-controlled Wuhan virology lab, the likely ground zero of the COVID-19 pandemic.
