There is a scene in the classic Western epic, RED RIVER, in which the loyal retainer, played by Walter Brennan, has to make a decision; should he betray his friend of 20 years, and join the cowhands in a mutiny? Taking the herd away from the John Wayne character to take it to Abilene, instead of Sedalia. He joins the mutineers, for this reason: the John Wayne Character was wrong, WRONG.
This Blogger thought about that simple yet complex scene a lot as he read responses to his last grouping of Blogs, from Liberal critics. To them, this Blogger was childish, shameful, Fascist, racist, contemptible, bizarre, paranoid, and/or holding views beneath his level of intelligence.
Yet, not one Liberal critic called out this Blogger as WRONG. From that small sample, one can readily extrapolate that Millennial Liberals are no longer capable of grasping the concept of Wrong; just the concept of shame. Behavior is no longer right or wrong to Liberals, but shameful, and childish. They scold, rather than uphold.
One of the great scolders is MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, a would be priest, nay a would be Liberal Savonarola , nay a would be Witch Finder, nay a would be Torquemada, nay a would be Yezhov.
In fact, in 2021, most American Liberals want to be one of those Chris Hayes’ ambitions. Liberals hunger for public denunciations, show trials and scarlet letters.
And Liberals are deluded. They truly cling to the delusion that Trump caused Trumpism; that is WRONG. 74 million Americans voted for Trump( the second most votes in American History). Does any sentient person believe that Trump accumulated such a large host of support because of his lovable personality? His Jimmy Carter integrity?
Liberals believe that once they force Trump to take hemlock, Trumpism will die. Au contraire. What the 2020 Presidential Election showed was that at least 74 million Americans do not want to live in the same society that the 81 million Biden voters want to create, an illegal alien friendly, globalized, multicultural, Diverse society. That is a recipe for conflict, violent conflict.
Trumpians believe that Liberals have used an Oprichniki, consisting of the media, judges, academics and bureaucrats, to launch a war on their own people, for the benefit of illegal aliens. It is tough to reconcile with any Oprichniki.
This Blogger understands he is not de Tocqueville, but he does see the complacent Liberals sleeping on a volcano, just as de Tocqueville saw France before one of their periodic uprisings.
This Blogger did not “FALL” for Trump, but saw Trump as the logical, perhaps inevitable conclusion of Liberal malfeasance in governance....no con artist can get 74 million people to vote for him unless the affected society had deep rage.
Liberals have reacted to this coming American Jacquerie by importing Muslims from England and Africa to understand America.
On January 20, 2021, Joe Biden will become America’s 46thPresident. He will preside over America’s future; that causes this Blogger ferocious foreboding. Biden is a BABBITT who will take ineffectiveness to new heights.
As the Inauguration approaches, Washington D.C. is occupied by up to 25,000 National Guardsmen, to protect the incoming President from Americans. That is more troops in D.C., defending a president, that were placed there during the American Civil War, with Confederate General Early camping across the Potomac.
The Republic is in sad shape. How sad?.
When the insurrectionists swarmed into the Capitol on January 6, 2021, not one member of Congress, Liberal, Conservative, Moderate, or Trumpian went out to face down the mob.
Out of 535 members of both houses, not one faced the mob down. Every one of them, including the Squad members, hid out. American democracy no longer has leaders of courage on its side. There was no American Yeltsin facing down an insurrection. America is currently a society incapable of producing one martyr in its hour of trial. Without martyrs, no society stands; America has no martyrs, and yet Liberals still think it will stand?
The horror of that January 6, 2021 insurrection is this, in that mob, was a future Robespierre, a future Trotsky, a Mao, a Pol Pot, a Michael Collins, a Wat Tyler and in Congress there were no DeGaulles or La Pasionarias.
The likely nightmare is that the Biden Inauguration begins America’s Third Century Crisis.
“The Crisis of the Third Century, was a period in which the Roman Empire nearly collapsed under the combined pressures of barbarian invasions and migrations into the Roman territory, civil wars, peasant rebellions, political instability, growing influence of barbarian mercenaries known as foederati and commanders nominally working for Rome (but increasingly independent), plague, debasement of currency, and economic depression.
The army required larger and larger bribes to remain loyal. Instead of warring in foreign lands, the Roman empire was increasingly put on the defensive from marauding enemies and civil wars. ……Fighting on multiple fronts, increasing size and pay of the army, increasing cost of transport, populist "bread and circuses" political campaigns, inefficient and corrupt tax collection, unorganised budgeting, and paying off foreign nations for peace all contributed to financial crisis. The emperors responded by confiscating assets and supplies to fund the deficit.
…….the chaotic Year of the Six Emperors during which all of the original claimants were killed:
….., dozens of formerly thriving cities, especially in the Western Empire, had been ruined. Their populations dead or dispersed, these cities could not be rebuilt, due to the economic breakdown caused by constant warfare. The economy was also crippled by the breakdown in trading networks and the debasement of the currency.
…. The sheer size of the empire, which had been an issue since the late Roman Republic three centuries earlier, continued to make it difficult for a single ruler to effectively counter multiple threats at the same time.
The first and most immediately disastrous of the natural disasters that the Roman Empire faced during the Third Century was the plague. The Antonine Plague that preceded the Crisis of the Third Century sapped manpower from Roman armies and proved disastrous for the Roman economy. From 249 AD to 262 AD, the Plague of Cyprian devastated the Roman Empire so much so that some cities, such as the city of Alexandria, experienced a 62% decline in population. These plagues greatly hindered the Roman Empire's ability to ward off barbarian invasions but also factored into problems such as famine, with many farms becoming abandoned and unproductive.
…..Barbarian invasions came in the wake of civil war, plague, and famine. Distress caused in part by the changing climate led various barbarian tribes to push into Roman territory.
….Made desperate by economic necessity, many of these former city dwellers, as well as many small farmers, were forced to give up hard-earned basic civil rights in order to receive protection from large land-holders. In doing so, they became a half-free class of Roman citizen known as coloni. They were tied to the land, and in later Imperial law, their status was made hereditary. This provided an early model for serfdom, the origins of medieval feudal society and of the medieval peasantry. The decline in commerce between the imperial provinces put them on a path toward increased self-sufficiency. Large landowners, who had become more self-sufficient, became less mindful of Rome's central authority, particularly in the Western Empire, and were downright hostile toward its tax collectors. The measure of wealth at this time began to have less to do with wielding urban civil authority and more to do with controlling large agricultural estates in rural regions since this guaranteed access to the only economic resource of real value — agricultural land and the crops it produced. The common people of the empire lost economic and political status to the land-holding nobility, and the commercial middle classes waned along with their trade-derived livelihoods. The Crisis of the Third Century thus marked the beginning of a long gradual process that would transform the ancient world of Classical antiquity into the medieval one of the Early Middle Ages.”
The Empire split.
In the 1990s, the Russian spy agency hired a former KGB analyst, Igor Panarin to forecast America’s future. The Russians believed that America’s generous and Liberal Migration Policies would over populate the United States, leading to Water Stress, Plagues, Famine, and economic and social collapse.
Mr. Panarin prophesized America would split apart under those pressures. His map of America after the split is below.
“A polite and cheerful man with a buzz cut,Mr. Panarin insists he does not dislike Americans. But he warns that the outlook for them is dire…the atlantic.”
In 2021, the Republic has a plague(thanks Communist China), a collapsing economy, a bloated, war weary military, members of Congress afraid their colleagues will kill them, water stress, and hordes of migrants waiting at its borders to seize their part of the American Dream.
In response, America has turned to a 78 year old leader, who has had two brain surgeries, who is icon of mediocrity. At the University of Delaware he graduated 506 out of 688; he graduated law school, 76th out of 88. and a half Jamaican( Manley versus Seaga,“Manley was Prime Minister when Jamaica experienced a significant escalation of its political culture of violence. Supporters of his opponent Edward Seaga engaged in a bloody struggle …. ….political violence reached unprecedented levels) /half Tamil(the Tamil contribution to the world ethos was the introduction of female suicide terrorists), who failed the California Bar Examination.
In a film, Marlene Dietrich played a renowned courtesan; she is asked, why did she become a renowned courtesan? Her answer is profound: “It took more than one man to change my name to Shanghai Lily.”
It took more presidents than Donald Trump to change the greatest nation in the history of the world into CRY THE BELOVED COUNTRY.
This Blogger takes no glee in the fact that some of his dire predictions about America’s future have come to pass. However, he feels strongly that the Biden/Harris team of Industrialized Empathy is the wrong leadership in this fraught time; they will only speed the republic from a Third Century Crisis into a Bronze Age collapse.
“But you tell me over and over and over again my friend
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction”

" Bill Gates, The billionaire Microsoft co-founder has become the largest owner of farmland in the United States by quietly buying up massive plots across the county, a new report says.
Gates’ portfolio comprises about 242,000 acres of farmland and nearly 27,000 acres of other land across 19 states, according to The Land Report, a magazine for land investors that tracks the nation’s biggest landowners.
