When the facts are clear that this whole abortion of our national interests And the living interests of the Ukrainian people has been completely unnecessary, a national reawakening will follow. There are signs of it if you know where to look. But at this point the courage it will take to confront this collapse of our nation into ‘progressive despotism’ is held largely in reserve. What I’m more concerned about than rebukes or outrages from incidents like this is that we’re in a cycle of diversion meant to disable our best efforts to course correction. But I believe the virtue of the Judeo-Christian foundations of our civilization can overcome this collapse if we will make the confrontation on a Biblical scale in keeping with the apocalyptic nature of collapse otherwise. We face a wanton, perverse enemy. If only those who could be strengthening our nation were not so drunk with the wine of their excess, and apathetic to all our work to be ‘e pluribus unum’.

A reckoning is coming w those who have only their power and prosperity as god. They might think they’ve earned it w their slick narratives. I don’t think they qualify for the down payment on the credit they’re looking for. Big money has put our people and economy on the block, the auction block.

Let’s see about that.

I suspect that what wakes people up from this delusion will be out of our control. We just have to pray that we will be able to endure it as well.

I would not want to suggest that control would be the objective of influencing people to choose course corrections. But the few who would ’reimagine’ and ‘retool’ civilization according to their perverse values are not entitled to a free passage to this ‘new world order’, collapsing culture and constitution alike in pursuit of controlling the resources of the nation. It gets back to the arrogance of wealth and power that our founders so assiduously worked to prevent. Certainly the ideals have been undermined and compromised in many ways, but as long as a framework to address the issues exists, indolence and apathy within us are our most corrosive enemies.
