The Reaction is Coming-The Revolution will be Smashed

The last century or so in the US, accelerating since 1898, has seen a revolution that has almost seamlessly welded the power of the Federal government, corporations and the military. This has not been some grand conspiracy. But once the logic of Empire, both at home and abroad, is accepted then a nation cannot back down from the pedestal of domestic control and foreign domination for the real fear and reality that its policies of force have created or will create enemies which are more powerful than it. But it has gained a momentum of its own as interests within each of these centers of power have become invulnerable fiefdoms each with interests and pull over policy that are often antithetical to law, the Constitution and always to Justice. Both political parties, over time, have become servants of these centers of power in various configurations.

But new alignments are now being formed around the world, but especially in the US, which over time will either dissolve or rapidly smash this Leviathan, this serpent that twists and turns around the trunk of the tree of Liberty. These new alignments confound both the Left and Right and especially mainline Republicans and Democrats who are blind to the pernicious and insidious undermining and destruction of the basic building blocks of American Liberty that the welding of government, corporate and military power has facilitated.

It should be remembered that Americans were originally extremely distrustful of standing armies and very anti-militaristic. Americans today are largely militaristic as long as they can watch the results of that militarism from the comfort of their living rooms. When we were pacific we won a revolution against the greatest power on earth. When we are militaristic our forces wallow in the sands for decades battling phantoms to a hopeless draw and squandering the wealth and credit of the nation.

There is a reason that the Congress and the Presidency are basically mistrusted. They are mistrusted because they have been derelict in their DUTY to maintain those building blocks of Liberty through the use of their Constitutional authority and instead have yielded this authority to the interests that profess to be essential to the health of the nation but are unaccountable to the People in their political capacity and therefore unaccountable, ultimately to the law and the Constitution.

The American People, guided by a wise and moderate sense of the fallible but broad wisdom of their ancestors, will return the nation to a balance where the three legal branches of government: the Congress, the Presidency and the Courts again wield the authority they are obligated to wield. Law, tradition, and a balanced constitutional perspective will slowly but surely supplant the failing pillars of misplaced power.

If events do not occur in these relatively peaceful ways, the same outcome will occur but in a more violent way. The danger in that event will be the aftermath.
