America today does not resemble anything that is found on the original 1776 United States Constitution. In fact, in many ways, it is the exact opposite of what it was founded as. This is an open fact, and only the most ignorant disagree on this.

Today, the United States is a real mess. It really is. It is an enormous, out of control beast, and no one can tame it. It’s a snarling, nasty critter that is harmful to Americans, and a threat to the rest of the world.

Here, we talk about how America came to be what it is today.

For there are five distinct separate evolutionary periods of American governance. Each one is distinct for all the others before it. They are…

• Founded as a Republic.
• Changed to a Democracy with the 12th amendment.
• Centralized Federal Democracy during the Civil War.
• Progressive Social Democracy under President Wilson.
• Military Oligarchy under President Lindon Johnson.
• Corrupt Military Totalitarian Empire today.

Here we will discuss each time period in turn. What it was like, the benefits, or liabilities, and why it was changed into something different.

We will begin with the start….

Founded as a Republic. (1776)

There is no question that America was founded as a Republic. It is clearly specified as such within the Constitution itself. And the “Federalist Papers” which described (in depth) the reasoning used in the creation of the Constitution.

They abhorred a Democracy and they absolutely did not want America to ever become a Democracy. For they viewed it as “mob rule”, or rule by easily-manipulated rabble.

Their vision was one where the individual States would continue to operate as independent nations. They would have their own flags, their own military, their own laws, and the citizens would be in complete control of their state government.

The Federal Government was intended to be small. It was only intended [1] to be necessary in the case of an external military threat, and to [2] assist in the regulation of trade between the different States.

Nothing Else.

The Federal Government, through the Bill of Rights would establish the framework of “protections” that the various Federal and State governments were forbidden to touch.

The Bill of Rights listed the “untouchable” Rights, and the Ninth Amendment stated that Americans had many, many other Rights. And none of them can be legislated or rules made to curtail them. Thus, the Federal and State governments were limited to what they could do. They could only to what was IMPLICITLY STATED within the Constitution.

America was set up as a Republic. There the Individual was supreme. Second came the States Governments. The Federal Government was intentionally weak and small.

America was a Republic for only a mere 28 years.

Changed to a Democracy with the 12th amendment. (1804)

Well, that did not set well with ambitious and evil men. These people felt that they were better than other people.

Well, they did. (Read their writings.)

They felt that they were smarter, and more capable, and thus should be deserving of extra privileges. And so they strove to change the United States from a Republic into a Democracy.

This is because it is easy to manipulate mobs of people.

Through the manipulation of people, they would increase their power, through the systems inherent in the Constitution.

And this is exactly what happened.

During the first one hundred years, all of the amendments to the Constitution, and the rules and laws laid down in Congress was devoted to four main objectives…

• Diluting the voting power of a citizen. (The more people allowed to vole, the less power the individual had.)
• Control of the mass “mobs” of citizenry. (Control of the news media meant control of the people.)
• Reduction of the influence of State Government.
• Increasing Federal Control over the States.

America become a Democracy. And Controls over the manipulation of the citizenry grew, as did the size and scope of the Federal Government.

America was a Democracy for 57 years. The entire time the Federal government grew and grew and grew…

Centralized Federal Democracy during the Civil War. (1861)

This continued for many decades up until the push by the Federal Government became far too large. They kept pushing and pushing, and sooner or later someone was going to get hurt.

The States argued that they had their own sovereignty through the Tenth Amendment.

The Federal Government argued that that was no longer true. That the Bill of Rights was meaningless when you have a strong central federal Government.

They were wrong, of course.

But it did not matter. They were strong and powerful.

When the Southern States banded together to fight the Federal monster, a long Civil War broke out. It lasted four years. And while there were many cries to “free the slaves’, at the root of the matter was whether or not a State can make it’s own laws. (And the ownership of slaves is a State law issue.)

The Civil War settled that.

The individual States no longer were autonomous, and must follow the dictates of the Federal Government.

Thus, the American Government became a singular Federal Government over regional “territories” known as States.

America was a Central Federal Democracy for 52 years.

Progressive Social Democracy under President Wilson. (1913)

Now, For around sixty years or so, the Federal Government grew in size, scope and ambitions. The ideas and the systems laid out in the 1776 Constitution were not sufficient to implement any of the “new” and “progressive modern” ideas. Ideas that were being considered in the elite schools and halls of the “power brokers”. They wanted and felt that some serious structural changes needed to occur.

They longed for the power held by the Kings during the middle ages. They wanted a new and modern version; a Feudal Kingship under the guise of “democracy”. New, modern and progressive; to usher in a new utopia of man over nature.

That’s how they thought.

Enter President Wilson.

To make a long story short, he was the architect for what America is today. And under his leadership we now have the following realities that are permanently affixed in America today…

• Government owns and controls all money.
• Citizens are permitted to rent the money.
• Ownership of all property belongs to the government.
• Making laws and rules were handed over to “agencies”.
• The Bill of Rights is just a list of “privileges”.
• Americans must work to feed the government.

Yeah it sounds really bad, and it is. But if you distill all the flowery rhetoric and babble-speak, and get down to the raw meat of the issues, that is what it distills into to. And, yes, it’s horribly and very ugly.

But hey! Everyone else was doing it. From Russia, to France, to China. Every ruler wanted full control of their subjects.

America became a Feudal Kingship. People were taught to serve the Federal Government without question. And efforts to spread this type of government around the world began. For “democracy“.

America was a Feudal Kingship under the guise of “democracy” for 50 years. Then it got really bad…

Military Oligarchy under President Lindon Johnson. (1963)

We now know, through the release of the Kennedy Assassination Transcripts that a military coup occurred in 1962. President Lyndon B. Johnson, along with a hodge-podge of other Washington “interests” assassinated a “democratically elected” president.

Immediately after killing the President, America went full-on “HOT” war with Vietnam.

Then they immediately went to war fighting battles all over the world, and funneling money into an Military-industrial organization. An organization that became enormous and powerful.

America became a Military Oligarchy. Much like Hitler and his Nazi’s and Genghis Khan and his hoards of warriors.

America has been a Military Oligarchy for 38 years.

Its’ so out of control, that today we are currently fighting eight simultaneous far-flung wars.

Which brings me to today…

Corrupt Military Totalitarian Empire today. (2001)

It wouldn’t be too bad if it were “out of sight and out of mind”, but events came about that brought war, and military power and control home.

It’s been 19 years since the events of 9-11. We have been a military totalitarian empire ever since.

As America fought these various wars, simultaneous efforts were being made to "bring the Military-Industrial" complex control home domestically. We all can thank President George Bush for this.

Thus America rapidly became a full-on police / surveillance state.

Domestically, the Bill of Rights no longer functionally exist. Alphabet agencies operate independently and run rough-shod over Americans with impunity. A military organization known as the DHS, operates with the NSA, and CIA / FBI to control the American citizenry. Congress has become outrageous media entertainment. Public works projects have ground to a halt, and the media (from alt-left to alt-right) are controlled by the government and manipulate with impunity.

International efforts are now all centered in [1] controlling strategic materials by proxy (Bolivia, Syria), [2] subduing other nations that might be economic threats (China, and Russia), and [3] fighting other nations wars (Yemen, Liberia) following a for-profit model.

America today is a corrupt Military Totalitarian Empire.

Conclusion

To really change the direction that America in involved in… and it needs to be changed, least the world collapse under the weight of World War III…

…we need to recognize what America is today.

We need to see what it was set up as, and how it was changed, and to put systems in place so that this will NEVER happen again.

And, America must change. This path that it is on is not sustainable.

And, tweaking things to undo the policies of Obama is not enough. We need to undo two centuries of policy changes. And this needs to be supervised by people that understand what “liberty” and “freedom” really are…

…and reporting what you did all year to a government agency is NOT freedom. Nor is asking permission to withdrawal your savings from a bank, wearing a seat-belt, or being forbidden from smoking or drinking large-size sodas. If you need to ask permission to do something or are fearful of government consequences, you are NOT living in freedom.

Any person who does not understand this MOST BASIC of understandings shouldn’t be permitted anywhere near the levers of power.

Real patriots need to take control of this situation, and it will not be organic. It’s not going to “just happen”. Like how each of the five stages of American Governance were well-planned in advance and executed, the same must occur by American patriots. This situation needs to change, and it needs to change soon.

Do not place all your hopes and beliefs on a Trump Presidency. While he is doing some good things Domestically, his International policy is driven by neocons and could actually result in World War III. This would be horrific for everyone.

Nor should you put your hopes in the other end of the spectrum. The Bernie Sanders crowd and all their ilk are dangerous idealists. They want to wind the clock back to feudal serfdom under a modern “enlightened” totalitarian social utopia. This would be horrific for many Americans.

The alternatives are far too frightening to contemplate.

Which is why we need to erase all the changes made since 1789 (The Bill of Rights) and start all over with a “clean slate”.
