Kunstler Exposes "The Core Truth" Of The 2016 Russia Collusion Story "Somehow I doubt that this Christmas will win the Bing Crosby star of approval. Rather, we see the financial markets breaking under the strain of sustained institutionalized fraud, and the social fabric tearing from persistent systemic political dishonesty. It adds up to a nation that can’t navigate through reality, a nation too dependent on sure things, safe spaces, and happy outcomes. Every few decades a message comes from the Universe that faking it is not good enough." We've allowed the fools and charlatans to run the show since the end of the Reagan Presidency; there will be hell to pay over the next few decades. Sadly, we have not yet reached the end of the current crisis period which will have to wrap up before we can begin the rebuilding. While I continue to hold out for a foreign conflict as the crisis culmination, I am increasingly doubtful that will happen. Sure, Iran, China, and Russia are all serial misbehaviors but will one or more of them misbehave to the point where they trigger an international conflict? Perhaps Iran will, but that seems unlikely to rise to a level of sufficient existentialism to merit the conclusion of the current crisis period. On the other hand, our civil society is no longer civil, and the Neo-Black Shirts of the Antifa progressive left have become a serious impediment to civil society and republican governance. Add to the Antifa corruption all of the progressive socio-economic failures, debt bubbles, and fiscal failures and, Houston; we have a problem. It seems that we now have even odds that the crisis period will end in civil or foreign conflict. The civil conflict seems to be growing more rapidly than the foreign, so who knows where this will go. No matter which direction it takes, we will see the internal conflicts in the US washed away by the resolution of this crisis period. What will follow will be a grand rebuilding period much like the two decades post WWII. The only question is whether this crisis resolution and rebuilding will be one where liberty wins or the forces of authoritarianism win. Throughout American history, it has always been the forces of liberty which have won. There are no guarantees, however. Should the forces of authoritarianism - the progressives - win, the rebuilding with be Orwellian, with language stunted, and a new secular religion forced upon the masses. We will return to a neo-feudalism with a massive loss in prosperity, and increase in neo-serfdom. I pray we do not get the government we deserve or which the progressives want. Every 80 years we stand at the edge of an existential choice, liberty or authoritarian servitude until now we have chosen liberty. Let's make it four for four! Mueller should have been investigating the Hillary campaign, for its collusion with Russian agents and its corruption, but Mueller is not an objective agent for truth. Until we know the truth, there is no rule of law, until Hillary stands to account for her corrupt practices we are not a viable republic. The Republic Has Fallen! The Republic has Fallen: Brought down by The House of Clinton, criminal, and mendacious to the end "Clinton is above the law; the republic has fallen. More below! "It is a felony for anyone entrusted with lawful possession of information relating to national defense to permit it, through “gross negligence,” to be removed from its proper place of custody and disclosed. “Gross negligence” rather than purposeful conduct is enough. Yet Mr. Comey appears to have based his recommendation not to prosecute on the absence of “clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information”—though he did say in the same sentence that there was 'evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.' As an example of the kind of information at stake, he described seven email chains classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level. These were the emails that the government had said earlier are so sensitive that they will never be disclosed publicly. Mr. Comey went further, citing “evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position . . . should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation.” To be “extremely careless” in the handling of information that sensitive is synonymous with being grossly negligent." Clinton Makes the FBI’s Least-Wanted List Comey's statement of fact is sufficient when applied to felony law to warrant felony prosecution. "Classical republican writers maintained that to be free means to not be dominated--that is, not to be dependent on the arbitrary will of other individuals. The source of this interpretation of political liberty was the principle of Roman law that defines the status of a free person as not being subject to the arbitrary will of another person--in contrast to a slave, who is dependent on another person's will. As the individual is free when he or she has legal and political rights, so a people or a city is free insofar as it lives under its own laws. [...] Classical republican theorists also stressed that the constraint that fair laws impose on an individual's choices is not a restriction of liberty but an essential element of political liberty itself. They also believed that restrictions imposed by the law on the actions of rulers as well as of ordinary citizens are the only valid shield against coercion on the part of any person or persons. Machiavelli forcefully expressed this belief in his Discourses on Livy (I.29), when he wrote that if there is even one citizen whom the magistrates fear and who has the power to break the law, then the entire city cannot be said to be free. It can be said to be free only when its laws and constitutional orders effectively restrain the arrogance of nobles and the licentiousness of the people." Republicanism by Maurizio Viroli The Republic has fallen. Clinton is the elite, one of the ruling class, yet she is above the law. The shield against coercion has been corrupted and has failed. The nation which began modern republicanism is fallen. The only option is for Americans to take back their republic, to throw down the elite, and to storm the ramparts which they use to protect themselves from us. I do not know whether it is time to pick up the pike pole, address this with tar, and feathers, or to simply vote, but it is time, and changes must be made if the republic is to stand. Ultimately, it is We The People who must stand against tyranny, not others. The time is at hand."
