the empire has devolved from a functioning government to a farce with propaganda skills;

 The idea of America was a genuine novus ordo seclorum for a New World. It was a new program…an idea so revolutionary that few people understood it and even fewer were willing to give it a chance.

But it is really simplicity itself. Either people rule themselves…or someone else rules over them. Ruling themselves meant controlling their own money…real money, that is…money that told them what things were really worth…and that they could use to pursue happiness in their own way.

Generations of leaders, however, from Tippecanoe to WWII and beyond, had different ideas. The founding fathers warned against it, but today…after more than 100 years of bi-partisan grifting and grasping…the feds and their POTUS throw their weight around pretty much as they please. And in this regard, Donald Trump, is the summa of sumos. He tosses more poundage around than any president in US history.

It is he who gives out ‘stimmie’ or ‘dividend’ checks…or new ‘Trump accounts,’ that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says will “make young people wealthy.” He pressures the Fed to lower interest rates. He, of his own free will and on his own say-so, upends the whole world trading system so as to determine how you spend your money…on what…and at what price.

With no emergency to justify it, he put armed soldiers on streets…and sent out masked men to pluck up people and take them away.

And he doesn’t stop at US borders. He presumes to tell the whole world what to do. He threatens tariffs on India for buying Russian oil. He threatens Brazil with tariffs and sanctions on its prosecutor, for going after his pal, Bolsonaro. He threatens tariffs on Canada for quoting Ronald Reagan. And he bombs the hell out of people he doesn’t know, in places he’s never been, for reasons he won’t take the time to understand. From Altitude Post comes this headline:..........more............
