What we might see is a rebirth of independent States.

The nuclear war machine that creates profits for the arms industry at the expense of American taxpayers while bringing death and destruction to the rest of the world might finally be finished.

States that proclaim independence from the War machine can be protected as Non-Combatants under the Rome Statute.

While states that remain within the USA all get turned into nuclear ashes by Russia's hypersonic nuclear arsenal.

What we should not assume is that an "independent" Texas controlled by multinational corporations and puppet populists pushed by billionaires is an alternative to the "deep state." it is rather "The deep state in drag."

When governance is "In State" accountability to the people is that much closer.

I have mixed feelings about Macgregor in many respects. He has basically replaced Larry Wilkerson who was far more professional. But more importantly MacGregor seems to assume that Trump has special rights. If we are going to have an early election, then we should have a fair election. That means both Trump and "Biden" are disqualified. You will not hear him saying that.

"The cynical drive to destroy the humanities, and promote STEM, has resulted in that part of America that could save us being tossed in the dustbin of history."

Why is one mutually exclusive of the other. Whatever happened to the supposed "Renaissance person" who was educated in numerous subjects.

If anything is lacking it's critical thinking skills and you can hold the mainstream media news propagandists, the entertainment industry, as well as diminished educational requirements in working-class public schools responsible for this mess.

Maybe, that's why the electorate is willing to accept a choice between a corpse and orange obnoxious idiot.

Great post. Your appeal to Frederick Douglas is compelling. John Brown too.

Nah, it's always been a continuing criminal operation. U$A. Now, UnUnited Snake$ of AmeriKKKa-Israel First!

Fredrick Douglass this 4th of July holiday, let’s reflect on his enduring words,

“what have…those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us?”

I saw conjecture on a far-out site that Col. Douglas MacGregor might be involved in a clean-up effort. He is calling for an early election for POTUS. I do not see how that could help, though I do watch his postings on the current various war fronts.

The contrast from the first paragraph to the second paragraph, in a 250 year time span, reflects the tragic decline of American consciousness. We must wake up from the coup d'etat taking place now before the past is completely forgotten. . . Thank you Emanuel.

we call that the undead, or the vampires. As we know, vampires are a special kind of parasite, that wears a tuxedo and speaks with style. See
