America’s Choice: National Divorce or Civil War
America's path into the future is beset with dangers, but there is a way to preserve the principles of the Founding Fathers
The current political structure of the United States is not viable long-term. Put simply, there are far too many differences existing among the numerous varieties of peoples who make up America to have them all ruled from one central authority. The same scenario exists in many states within the American union as well. These differences, when tied in with the centralized power structure of federal and state governments - along with a “one-size-fits-all” mentality prevalent among those either holding or seeking power - have led to an extremely volatile situation nation-wide. These various groups have become agitated to the point where there is now a mad scramble for power among them. Their purpose is to advance their own group’s interests at the expense of others, even to the extreme of denying the constitutional rights of their opponents and dehumanizing them in word and thought. Thus it is no wonder certain far-seeing individuals are voicing very real fears of forthcoming violent, domestic conflicts between these various groups - all in the interest of seizing the mechanisms of power to preserve and promote the values of their own group at the expense of the others.
The Elites’ New Plan
The Elites, hailing from both Left and Right within the political kaleidoscope, are the big players in the midst of all of this. They are working to ensure the volatility will continue to grow until it reaches a breaking point. The resulting chaos, they believe, will give them the opportunity they desire to usher in their new system of all-out control over the “unwashed masses” as they so disdainfully refer to the common everyday civilian working hard just to survive.
When the Elites kicked off the major test run of their Globalist control structures, using the COVID hysteria as the cover for their implementation, it was in America that the agenda was met by it’s greatest challenges. America’s Founding Fathers had done a masterful job designing an intricate system of checks and balances, which soon proved a formidable obstacle to the new Globalist programs. Even after one hundred sixty years of political attrition against that system by power-hungry figures, the Bill of Rights and the principles of self-government still retained enough power to provide the people with effective tools for pushing back against tyranny. All kinds of brave individuals, from everyday folk like the “Park Patriots” of southern Texas and anti-mask-mandate activists nationwide, to local government officials like the state legislators of South Dakota and the governor of Florida, effectively used these tools to first stop and then dismantle the COVID regime. Despite the Elites’ constant pressure to both maintain and expand the regime, local pushback finally proved too much and the regime was largely dismantled by the middle of 2022, though certain tyrannical precedents remained available for potential use in the future.
Within two years of the overt COVID regime’s end, lessons the Elites took from this test run began to exhibit themselves. Recognition clearly dawned on them that no tyrannical regime could survive in America so long as America’s founding principles remained intact. Those principles, as personified by the Bill of Rights, checks and balances, and self-government practices, would have to be removed and destroyed if any new system of tyranny, whether woke, technocratic, or both, had any chance of reaching full implementation status.
To achieve this, the Elites unveiled a new series of attacks, designed to provoke conflict and distrust inside America at higher levels than those seen during the COVID hysteria. The first stage would involve weaponizing the law itself against large segments of the population, mostly against the general populace with some more well-known names thrown in for the purpose of publicizing the misuse of the law. This would then sow seeds of rampant distrust, both against those who held different ideological views, and against the systems which the laws had created. The long-term purpose of this plan would be that of creating an atmosphere of anger and helplessness among the population, which could then be funneled into an attack against the American founding principles themselves.
Once the people’s belief in America’s founding principles were weakened sufficiently, with suspicion and desire for rapid pushback unleashed by this campaign of lawfare, the second stage could be slowly introduced. With the people already angry and frustrated by seeing their very governing structures being used against them when they had done nothing wrong, strong desires for vengeance against those who had persecuted them would inevitably begin to arise. The people would then be more inclined to disregard the very checks and balances which should have protected them in the first place. This, in turn, would make the rights guaranteed the people under the Bill of Rights, in effect, a dead letter. As the Bill of Rights slowly became no longer respected as applying to “the other” as well as to themselves, an “anything goes” mentality would begin to grow between the factions which the Elites had stirred up.
With respect for America’s founding principles greatly compromised, a third stage in the Elites’ plan is now being put into action. Political fervor is being whipped up into a power-hungry frenzy on all sides of the political divide. With the MAGA movement being constantly labeled as a “clear and present danger” by it’s opponents, and a similar mentality unfolding within the MAGA movement against their own adversaries, a dangerous brew is being stirred domestically. The Elites’ goal with this concoction is for all factions to buy into the “one-size-fits-all” mentality and so see the complete and utter destruction of those who they do not agree with as being the ultimate good they should strive for. Once this is achieved, the last and most important stage in the plan to destroy America’s founding principles can be unleashed: The State of Emergency known as “War”.
The Elites are already well into the process of laying the foundation for domestic war. War games they organized leading up to the 2024 elections were one of the first public indicators of a major lesson they had derived from the failure of the COVID regime. It had become clear they needed a state of emergency, one which was clearly obvious to all, to get the people to willingly give up for good what adherence remained to America’s founding principles. What better way to do that then war? With the danger so obvious and easy to hype, and hatred for “the other” paramount in the minds of many who have suffered through the lead-up to war, those seeking to destroy these principles would have the upper hand emotionally in any argument against those defending these same principles.
While a big opportunity for the Elites to instill deadlock and ignite civil war was lost with the convincing win of Donald Trump and many of his allies in the November 2024 general elections, the Elites’ general course of action appears unchanged. With the election results being too lopsided to mount effective challenges, the Elites merely altered tactics - pursuing an alternative path to bring about the domestic war they need so badly. First, a little-known congressman from North Carolina seeded the idea that the best resistance to Trump would be to form a “shadow cabinet”, with individuals filling roles in direct opposition to Trump’s appointees to the official positions. The idea got positive responses from many hailing from more Elitist perspectives, and seems to be getting developed in more detail. The holding of “shadow hearings” against the Trump administration, followed by the open endorsement of the shadow government concept by a US Senator with extensive ties to the intelligence community or “Deep State”, appears to signal an intensification of these plans to get a public shadow government established and operating in the near-future.
Civil War: The tool to destroy Freedoms
These developments are rather alarming considering the history and politics of how civil wars unfold inside nations. Outside of a few parliamentary systems such as in Britain, where the “shadow cabinet” idea is merely a public relations gimmick, shadow governments are usually formed by groups seeking to carry out the non-electoral removal of the current group holding the levers of power in a country. Thus is laid the foundation for a civil war. Two or more groups establish competing governing bodies for their supporters to rally behind. After whipping up the everyday people into a frenzy of support for the different factions, the groups then engage in whatever means they deem necessary to seize the reigns of power for the advancement of their own agenda.
This method is effective for those who seek to seize and enhance their own power. It was how the Communists made many of their advances to take over different nations during their heyday from the 1870s to the 1980s. They would form alternative governing bodies and then engage in a war of attrition, both militarily and in law, against their opponents in a bid to seize power. While they did not always succeed, the conflicts often left a legacy of pain, exhaustion, bitterness, and lost freedoms which took years, if not generations, for the populace to recover from.
The most destructive aspect to civil wars however, is how they open the door for the destruction of traditions and principles which help maintain peace. Using the opportunities presented by the chaos which war unleashes, power-hungry individuals can seize power for themselves at the expense of the populace. The chaos also eliminates any reliance on precedent and provides a convenient excuse for dismantling checks and balances rooted in self-government. The justification given is that the powers leading the fighting need all restrictions removed in order to get their job done. This is often how freedoms and the principles of self-government are lost. Once power is in the hands of the faction leaders, they become addicted to the exercise of it, and so will not readily relinquish that power. They will not willingly allow the freedoms and protections of the individual to be reasserted, or the principles of self-government to be re-implemented. As a result, either conflict continues, or tyranny is implemented for the long term.
National Divorce: The tool to preserve Freedoms
As disturbing as the Elites’ plan to destroy America’s founding principles is, there is a way to defeat their plan. A way which is tested, true, and rooted in America’s founding principles. When America’s founding fathers were confronted with the reality that London was wholly dedicated to a course of action which would result in the American colonists’ self-governing practices being taken away for good, they knew that self-protection actions were necessary. The approach they ended up taking was wise. Instead of seeking to work with radical leaders within Britain like John Wilkes to overthrow king and parliament, they instead chose to withdraw from the jurisdiction of king and parliament. A “national divorce” of sorts.
While it is true that logistics of the era (distance, feasibility, etc) made the choice of withdrawal the natural one for America’s founders, the fact still remains that it was a good choice considering that the freedoms and self-government principles of the American people were preserved. In addition, though a war of self-defense did unfold, the fact that it was waged in self-defense and for the preservation of these freedoms and principles, rather than for acquisition of power, meant that from the beginning there were greater odds of a good outcome in favor of freedom. When the war ended, there was far more substantial resistance to attempts to consolidate power at the expense of Americans’ freedoms and principles. Though a few among the founding generation actively pursuing power did manage to slip some small blemishes into the constitution which was formed in 1787, the freedoms and self-governing principles which the colonists had fought for were largely preserved for a little over seventy years, with great benefit for the American populace of that era.
It is not hard to see the benefits which national divorce brought in that situation. As power was not the motive, but rather preservation of freedoms and self-governing principles, the groups seeking to separate were not instituting chaos, but rather preserving a well-working order which was of benefit to the populace. While certain aspects of governance would need to be changed once separation was accomplished, the lack of widespread chaos meant the the freedoms and self-government principles would remain largely intact - and maybe even improved upon considering that the separation was a case of escaping an abuse of power in the first place. Put simply, there were no political voids presented for power-hungry individuals to step in and consolidate power. It was a true win for the populace of a kind which had not often been seen in world history up to that point.
America’s Choice
Change is coming fast to the nation known as the United States of America. The shelf-life of the current political experiment is reaching the end of its time, just as different governing systems have all reached the end of their time throughout history. The danger lies in the fact that the Elite classes, many of whom have power connections which stretch back centuries, recognize this reality. They are now attempting to seize this opportunity to implement a global totalitarian model to rule the world - a system which Voltaire, Marx, Gramsci, Marcuse, Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao and many other totalitarian dictators and thinkers could only have dreamed of. Using chaos as their primary weapon of destruction leading to change, the Elites seek to uproot the old traditions and principles and replace them with their own. A new secular dogma for the world’s people to live by, shorn of any attachment to religion, tradition, or natural law, and based solely on the whims and basest passions of the Elites. It is a scenario which makes one think that these Elites are attempting to make the mythical gods of Mount Olympus a reality, with themselves as the primary deities playing games with the lives of the citizenry who they view as beneath them.
Even if the Elites’ plans to implement their totalitarian model should fail, the chaos unleashed by war, especially domestic war between neighbors, will still leave a dangerous void in America. One that could easily be filled by other individuals who would then find themselves corrupted by the very power which the Elites sought to acquire. This is another reason why civil war is such a risk. Chaos unleashed through war, even if the Elites should lose the war, still presents a huge opportunity to those cunning and ambitious enough to seize power and implement tyranny of their own, regardless of what ideology it is based in. Then the whole struggle will have been basically for nothing. No checks and balances rooted in self-government principles will remain to check the ego of the new power holder.
National Divorce is the option with the least number of dangers to the freedoms and principles which are America’s true foundation. Withdrawing from the manipulated and corrupted government structures which now advance the Globalist project would allow defensive consolidation for preservation of these values. While this would not guarantee avoidance of war, as the Elites would likely seek to use every tool at their disposal to bring those seceding back under their control, the conflict would be changed into one of self-defense as opposed to maneuvering for power. As multiple self-defense, grassroots-oriented conflicts have shown through the centuries, sheer military power is not a guarantee of victory in war. Today, ever increasing masses of people now have a basic knowledge of the reality of the Globalist conspiracies, thanks to the awakening brought about by COVID, as well as ever increasing public proclamations of increasingly crazy agendas. This makes for far longer odds of the Elites being able to break an opposition alliance rooted in self-defense. The added advantage of not opening up a political void for other nefarious actors to potentially seize substantial power, makes this an even more appealing approach. The route to rebuild the world based on America’s founding principles would be a much smoother one. Good elements of the old order could be oriented to correct the abuses which manifested themselves over the 250 year life of the original American experiment.
Which way will America go? Will the people give in to the siren call of chaos and become the very evil they believe they are fighting against as Keith Mallory warned in The Guns of Navarone? Or will they be like Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings, recoiling at the very thought of using the all-corrupting Ring of Power, and instead seeking to follow a path which some call folly but turns out to be wise? Only time will tell.

The floundering fathers made a big mistake in assuming that government could be tamed and controlled by the people. Government can never be for the people. It must always be the master over the citizen slaves.
