A lot of chatter about getting to Mars. To each his own. But far more important is getting to Heaven.

The state gives its counterfeit notes a legal tender monopoly.

The competition (gold, Bitcoin) gets taxed.

One thing is 100% for sure.

Governments, "elites," authoritarians, globalists, and technocrats...

...will continue to fail to create a heaven on earth.

They never stop trying though.

So we should have our mouths and our keyboards ready to go in 2025.

The American people are a reflection of the American government…living on debt that can’t be repaid.

The government, however, can counterfeit (via The Fed) which allows them to run on fumes just a little while longer.

America has 1,000 bases all over the world.

...is entangled with foreign nations (against the repeated warnings of the Founders).

...is entangled in international globalist organizations.

Look around at our declining nation, and it all matches up with Chesterton:

When Elizabeth Warren voted to send $95 BILLION to Ukraine, why didn't she care that America's "working people" were subsidizing it?

America's "working people" could have surely used that $95 billion.

America:

Where your manufacturing has to be exported.

And your high-skilled workers have to be imported.

The globalist fiat empire needs fiat money.

They will defend that perhaps more than anything else.

The most popular defense? Never bring the issue up. If it happens to come up, change the subject.

I do it all the time....my wife gets a kick out of it.

No doubt illegal immigration needs to be squashed.

But I'm on the fence that America must increase legal immigration.

Elon is looking at this in economic terms, and that America will "win."

But is America just a workshop?

Is economics most important? What about common culture? Common traditions? Common views on morality and God?

If America "wins" economically, does it lose all of the other aspects that make it America?

I sure hope not.

Bernie Sanders complains that we don't have a democracy, but an oligarchy.

He doesn't see that the two go hand in hand.

Democracy is rule by public opinion.

Public opinion is shaped by the most powerful minorities -- oligarchs.

So, democracy and oligarchy are two sides of the same coin.

America was not setup to be a democracy. But alas, over time, it morphed into one.

If we're stuck with democracy, then we're stuck with oligarchy.

In such a circumstance, the key question then becomes:

- Do the oligarchs (in power) hate the people? .. or ..

- Do the oligarchs (in power) have a more benevolent view of the people?

It's a sad situation to be in. Those in power should automatically care for the nation...and the well being of those who live in it.

But that's not what you get when have a democracy.

In fact, our nation has been (consciously and purposefully) destroyed by democracy.

You know the people that wanted to keep covid "vaccinations" going, even though it was over?

Well the same people do the same thing with war.

We avoided "vaccine passports."

But if they get their way with war, we will get WWIII.

We better avoid that too.

So whatever the next "new thing" happens to be, Tucker Carlson won't be there to refute it.

Is that the thinking of the powers that shouldn't be?
