America is scheduled to have a general election in November that is nothing if not momentous. Assuming Obama does not declare martial law and attempt to stay in office, we will elect either a successful businessman, who appears to have repented of some of his establishment beliefs, and wants to “make America great again,” or a relic from the past, Hillary Clinton, whose biggest accomplishment is getting away with serious crimes. Her record in statesmanship consists of a world set aflame, largely through her decisions and ineptness, which seems consistent with her “extreme carelessness” in handling sensitive information. Her proposals promise what I would call “more of the same, only worse,” building on the “achievements” of Barack Obama. Obama's record would be better if he had spent his entire two terms taking vacations and playing golf instead of trying to do anything serious. But he is a member, with George Soros, of the elites of the world, who view ordinary people as beneath contempt and large institutions as their piggy banks and servants.

Hillary, like Obama, has no problem
receiving any kind of financial contributions from foreign powers and
suspect domestic entities. She will do nothing that Wall Street
wouldn't like, or that might slow down dangerous “refugee”
immigration. She is for open borders, and would continue Obama's
come-one-come-all immigration policies. Whatever decent or
constructive impulses she possesses are completely overshadowed by
her dangerous and destructive policies. Her support for Planned
Parenthood, which was founded with the deliberate aim of wiping out
the black population, is just one example of her death-dealing
political views. For some others, see the Middle East.
The so-called “Free World” we have
enjoyed for lo these many years is in its greatest danger since the
Cold War and the beginning of the Iron Curtain. The establishment
elites know this and are either orchestrating the trouble or else
they are pathologically stupid. My belief is that they are not on the
side of liberty, and are deliberately out to destroy what's left of
Western civilization as we have known it. Enough billionaires seem to
be planning some kind of apocalyptic retreat of safety (maybe even on
another planet), that it makes one wonder about their overall state
of mind.
The elite trend setters of Hollywood
and elsewhere are doing all they can to destroy traditional morality
and religion and put the focus on pleasure, government dependency and
“free stuff.” Political Correctness exists in order to stifle
opposition and try to shame people who might oppose the demonic
destruction of the West. Muslims must be protected from
“Islamophobia,” homosexuals from “homophobia,” and Christians
presented as ignorant bigots and therefore fair game for whatever
abuse the elites think they can get away with.
The “populist” anti-establishment
movement, exemplified by the Donald Trump presidential campaign and
Britain's “Brexit” vote stem from real and valid concerns.
The American Declaration of
Independence includes the following statement:
“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that
Governments long established should not be changed for light and
transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that
mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than
to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are
accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing
invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under
absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off
such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future
security.” (Emphasis added)
To “throw off such government”
should, ideally, happen through elections. That seems to be the goal
of the world populist anti-establishment movement. We'll see where it
leads. But there must be some important changes, and fairly soon.
The present U.S. Administration seems
to regard the Founding Fathers as radical extremists who should have
never encouraged the Revolution. In fact, the Founders were
extraordinarily brilliant, talented and courageous men of strong
moral fiber and foresight, who were willing to risk everything for
liberty. There aren't too many people like that around today.

The liberal elites (“progressives”)
have tried and to a considerable extent succeeded in selling the
notion that “America” is supposed to provide everyone with all
they need, and freedom must be curtailed if it gets in the way of the
Progressives' great program, which includes everyone, “for their
own good.” Progressivism is simply thinly veiled fascism, a la
Mussolini, with a strong dose of Marxism mixed in. Crony
“capitalism,” with big corporations colluding with government to
wipe out competition and rule the marketplace, is actually the very
opposite of a free market economy. The favored few will benefit, at
the expense of everyone else. Obama might not be able to destroy our
economy entirely in eight years and replace it altogether with
fascism, but he is making a lot of “progress.” The end result
would be massive poverty, a third world economy, and banana-republic
politics. Freedom as we have known it will be a distant memory.
To listen to the misguided speakers
(some of whom are well-intentioned) at the Democrat convention is a
gut-wrenching experience for anyone who is devoted to the American
ideal of freedom. The liberals want to make everything they don't
like illegal (guns, for example) and everything they like (free
college, for instance) mandatory. The underlying theory, of course,
is that people are too stupid to decide things for themselves and
must be guided by a faraway firm hand at the top. Any reasonable
study of socialism will show that it is not sustainable. Experience
shows that eventually the worst people are in charge, and dissenters
are put to death. Before that, an economy like Venezuela comes about,
and government micromanagement like Communist East Germany is
installed. All leftist government flies in the face of American
tradition, economic reality, and human freedom. The natural rights of
human beings are sacrificed on the altar of dictatorial tyranny.
The top levels of government in the
United States are characterized by extreme, widespread cynicism,
greed, and lust for power and money. If the entire top echelons of
the Executive Branch, and much of Congress and the federal judiciary
were to resign and leave America today, it would be a great
improvement.
If the anti-establishment forces don't
have substantial success in the next few years, we will see Europe
overrun by Islamic violence and America in turmoil over terrorism,
violent crime, and liberal attempts to take away guns, and to
establish mandatory political correctness and shred the Constitution.
We are witnessing in these days, if not the emergence of the
Antichrist, at least a look at how he is likely to come to power.
Vote as though your vote were the most
important of all. It may be one of our last meaningful elections.
