How very far we have fallen, as a nation. I don’t say as a people, because our citizens, for better and worse, have had nothing to do with our precipitous decline. The descent was imposed on them by a long series of agents installed by, and in thrall to, the Capitalist Tyranny that owns the nation’s economic apparatus.
Our electoral system has long been a farce, in which fake parties field candidates selected by the Money Power, and spend lavishly to excite the ignorant, impotent public, as children are excited by clowns and trashy party decorations. The winner then fronts the working of Capitalist will for his purchased term.
The original structural plan, though deeply flawed by moral and class bias, was modestly benign in intent. It has been betrayed and subverted from its inception, manipulated and maimed by the venality and self-serving chicanery of men who acted exactly as Jefferson and enlightened minds predicted they would, by appropriating governmental power for their own selfish ends.

A masterfully ironic comment on one of the enduring myths foisted on the proles by the cynical reigning plutocracy. (By Matson, with our gratitude).
At this late stage of imperial rule, all protections and benefits guaranteed the people are gone, cancelled. The Bill of Rights is redacted and no defense against arbitrary power remains.
The government is now absolutely one of men and not of laws. The executive and legislative branches are de facto employees of the Capitalist Tyranny, not only doing nothing for the people, but brazenly denying that responsibility. The Congress is elected by, and answers to rich Zionist Jews who buy their seats and votes.
The judiciary is vetted and installed only with Capitalist approval, so its bias is permanent, its judgments purchased, and it actively opposes and undermines the working class in all its rulings.
It has been obvious for centuries that governments, organized to defend the interests of Money against those of humanity, will do only the bare minimum necessary to keep the people in impotent quiescence as they are cheated, exploited and fleeced.
America, as a final result of its capture by predatory Capitalism controlled by avaricious men of no ethical character and no honor, is now a country without government in any true sense of the term: a wholly owned, and privately held corporation.
Capitalism, the most efficient system of extracting wealth from subject peoples has, in its imperial phase—as Lenin foretold a century ago—found that war and preparation for it maximize money accumulation, and committed all productivity to that end.
The paradox in that is that the method that brings most wealth, most easily, is the one that will bring destruction most certainly.
Generations of ignorant Americans—no different from any other human population—have been so propagandized and trained by their Capitalist owners that their powers of reasoning and innate inclination toward moral decency have been eroded to complete dysfunction, just as a limb or a faculty will atrophy from disuse.
Their frustrations and angers are now teased and directed by the tyrant cabal that has all power in what passes for government. At its head is the most ignorant, unhinged psychopath in our history. In a world situation of grave danger, this deeply stupid solipsist has the power to destroy what remains of the nation.
He is a caitiff of rabid prejudices, a racist, a loathsome, lusting misogynist, a raving xenophobe, a murderous, Zionist Naziphile, and a blathering dimwit whose total lack of geopolitical acumen makes him a deadly loose cannon in the affairs of the world.
If one is capable of detaching from bullshit partisan pattycake, and looks coldly at the record of this repulsive cretin in 2025, it establishes an entirely new category of mindless malice.
He began with threats to take Greenland, Panama and Canada from their governments, that put Mexico on high alert. Those idiot notions alone should have had him institutionalized. His ludicrous renaming the Gulf of Mexico was a child’s fantasy.
Launching government demolition with deranged Musk’s DOGE gutting AID, the Departments of Interior, Agriculture, State, and Education, firing thousands and leaving to sycophants the ruins.
From there he took to harassing, arresting and deporting legal immigrants and residents and revoking student visas. He had police attack and abuse students who stood up for Palestinians butchered in Gaza, ordered an inquisition of University heads, and had those with guts forced out for allowing “anti-Semitism”.
Then came massive ICE raids to capture and deport illegal aliens, cruel, inefficient, violent, very costly, and useless. With this ugly, vicious Gestapo work in progress, he ordered military troops into major cities, including the nation’s Capital, in defiance of their officials and police, and violating the Posse Comitatus Act, and act of blatant unconstitutionality.
All this madness was done, while supporting a cynical, lost proxy war in rotten Ukraine, funding inhuman Palestinian slaughter by Nazi Israel, menacing Venezuela and Iran, and provoking Russia and China, which have the military power to devastate America.
History has many stories of failed nations in which rabid maniacs took power and led them from confusion to unmitigated disaster.
The broken, degraded American Empire is now entering the final phase of its tragedy.
As Cassius said of Caesar, “Ye gods, it doth amaze me that a man of such a feeble temper should so get the start of the immortal world and bear the palm alone."
