MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE FOR AMERICANS ADRIFT IN A DRIFTING NATION

To be or not to be is a function of to see or not to see, and little time remains to see what is aligning at the apex of a global tipping point unique in human history.

Those who believe that politics offers “the answer” and that there is any long-term-meaningful difference between choices in national elections are hitching their wagons to a pretense and following it into an abyss. Those still capable of stepping back from manufactured distractions and discarding their tinted lenses, however, will see that the chaos all around us, the flip-flopping political pronouncements, the theatrical bickering between international puppets and players, and the conflicting warnings and assurances from popular talking heads of every species are not random unrelated phenomena but purposeful connected components of a bigger picture.

When John Adams wrote in 1776, “. . . the delay of this Declaration to this time has many great advantages attending it. The hopes of reconciliation, which were fondly entertained by multitudes of honest and well meaning though weak and mistaken people, have been gradually and at last totally extinguished,” the odds against founding a free America may have been eight or ten to one. Two hundred and fifty years later — three iterations of the prescient “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations” maxim — the reconciliation-delusion Adams described is sufficiently entrenched to make the odds of restoring a free America a million to one.

Thanks to an unprecedented convergence of war-drum beating, currency devaluation, energy-supply destruction, fear- and anger-based anxiety, and technological readiness, a long-intended globalist end game is approaching with preternatural speed. Add to this the rubbish heap of American culture, the inconstancy of her citizens’ fortitude, a horizon-to-horizon ignorance of what makes America America, epidemic-scale convenience addiction and normalcy bias, hoards of “just doing my job” government functionaries, and a congress-unopposed Grifter in Chief president who lies as if he invented lying, even the best-marshaled plan to resurrect America is doomed to almost certain failure.

But a high probability of failure should not preclude doing what is right even as a Minority of One — which is where every change for the better originates.

Decades of accumulated evidence confirm that what is planned to happen will happen, but if enough Americans can once again recognize false hopes for what they are and the anti-human future they promise, America’s course and destination may yet be changed. The purpose of this webpage, this message in a bottle, is to offer a glimpse of the bigger picture to those still able to step back from manufactured distractions and discard their biased perspectives in time to prevent (or personally avoid) what this bigger picture portends. It is what one seeing American can offer fellow seeing Americans from the no-man’s-land of unheeded history, evidence, and warnings.

From The God of the Machine by Isabel Paterson, 1943

With the establishment of the Republic of the United States of America, a great landmark in secular history was erected: it was the first time a nation was ever founded on reasoned political principles, proceeding from the axiom that man’s birthright is freedom. And as long as those principles were maintained, it succeeded beyond all precedent. Until then, nations were formed by chance and circumstance and doubtful experiment; then if a nation sank, it was impossible to reconstruct it. No matter how often a democracy might be tried, it must shortly collapse into despotism. Or if an aristocracy or monarchy developed, and subsequently broke down, another could not be created to take its place, since men could not go back in time to secure the line of descent. But a federal republic with no hereditary element in the political structure can always be reconstituted by design on the same principles and bases.

Whoever is fortunate enough to be an American citizen came into the greatest inheritance man has ever enjoyed. He has had the benefit of every heroic and intellectual effort men have made for many thousands of years, realized at last. If Americans should now turn back, submit again to slavery, it would be a betrayal so base the human race might better perish.
