In the book The Five Thousand Year Leap written by W. Cleon Skousen we are shown how there are really only two forms of government — Total Freedom (Anarchy) and Slavery (Tyranny) and for thousands of years we experienced both in more forms than ever thought possible. These experiments in rule spanned every race, culture and continent on the planet and have been written about and theorized about by the best of our intellects thousands of times such that we know all the variations all the plus all the minus and all the ways that they can go very bad — the bottom line is that men are corrupt and will always find a way to enslave us; if we let them.
On the left is The Choice Between a Female Slave or a Vase’, 1902-1903. From Penrose’s Pictorial Annual 1902-1903, An Illustrated Review of the Graphic Arts, volume 8, edited by William Gamble and published by AW Penrose (London, 1902-1903). On the right the other picture is of a woman, living in a hut in the woods, who is outside of any political system and therefore totally free.
The Protestant Reformation in Europe in the 16th Century opened up the path to alternatives to slavery or anarchy and 200 year later in England and France philosophers such a John Locke, Adam Smith, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Montesquieu developed principles that lead to the ‘founders’ of the United States to develop a unique series of documents; The Declaration of Independence, The Articles of Confederation, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The purpose of these documents was to try and find a point somewhere between anarchy and tyranny that would give the citizens both a lot of personal freedom and a governmental system that was made hard to take that freedom away.
The first U.S. Congress started its first 2 year term in 1789 and that system worked so well that 180 years later American Astronauts walked on the moon and not all that many years later American probes were on Mars had visited Jupiter and Saturn and left the solar system to visit interstellar space. Fifty six year later no one else has been able to duplicate that accomplishment. No country in history and had ever made so much progress so quickly than America. But after creating the good life we forgot how we got there and we allowed the dark side to creep in and steel our hearts and minds and drive us back from whence we came.
But we were warned as Alexis De Tocqueville told us in Democracy in America published in 1835 if we were not careful those that desire the power would find a way to take it back as they were very cleaver and had all the time in the world to accomplish their goal. And sure enough by 2010 in his book The Ruling Class Angelo M. Codevilla told us about what was happening in America and how the wantabe ruling class was taking away our freedoms by nullifying the U.S. Constitution though judicial and legislation manipulation. The following painting by Jon McNaughton The Forgotten Man shows this.
Now at the end of 2015 what we have is the Republican Progressive (GOPe) faction and the Democrat Progressive faction both being for the same things as their donor base is almost the same. The two together are the Washington establishment which together with their donors is now forming into the American Ruling Class; that has no use for the Constitution or the common man (vulgarians). Some also call this the New World Order (NOW) and if you throw in the like minded leaders for the European Union yes that is what this movement is. Whey these wantabe rulers have tried this again is a surprise as it has never worked before and better men then those now in power have always failed in the end.
The GOPe did not really want to win the presidential election in 2008 or they would not have run John McCain and they did not expect to get control of the Congress two years later and so after 2010 and 2014 they didn’t know what to do as they wanted the same things as the Progressive Democrat’s did even though their base didn’t. Prior to being forced into having a majority in the Senate the GOPe excuse for not doing anything was that they didn’t have control of the Senate; with that changed in 2014 their excuse changed to Obama would veto reforms so why bother. The 2014 election really worried the GOPe because if they ran a good candidate in 2016 they could win the U.S. Presidency and that would be a really big problem for the GOPe and their friends the Progressive Democrat’s because there would then be no possible excuses for not making changes, so a plan was need to prevent that from happening.
The plan of the Ruling Class after 2014 was first they would run Hillary for President and she would complete the fundamental transformation (the De-facto elimination of the US Constitution) that Obama started. The GOPe would run Jeb Bush who was not expected to win as the GOPe would run a campaign much like Mitt Romney did in 2012. That way the Congress could be neutralize as Hillary could veto any real change and it would be very unlikely that the Tea Party faction could get the GOPe up to 60 votes in the Senate, in fact the GOPe would work to make sure that didn’t happen. This deadlock would then be used to not being able to change anything and therefore their plan would be complete by 2020 and it would be impossible to change; so their transformation would be complete and the republic would be gone.
When Trump entered the race for the Republican Party and started to win in the polls everyone in the Ruling Class went into a panic and an all out attack was started to stop him. Karl Rove’s operation hummingbird, Super PACs adds, rule changes in the primaries, manipulated polls – where possible, and control of the moderators in the debates as we have seen were focused on all the outsiders: Trump, Carson and Cruz in their attempt to eliminate them. Bush was left aside and/or given soft ball questions so he wouldn’t be hurt and could therefore come back later after the outsiders were eliminated. The plan of the GOPe has not worked for the citizens have woken up and can see though the manipulation of the wantabe rulers.
So far the vulgarians have been able to keep the Ruling Class at bay but that is only through to use of the web and talk radio, if that gets shut down it will be hard to communicate and The Ruling Class could win. Trump does have a lot of money and he could counter this free speech blocking but at that level it would be borderline revolution so let’s hope we don’t go there.
Donald J. Trump has tapped into the anger of the American people, the vulgarians, who know and feel that all they have fought and died for will soon be gone. A Grassroots movement by the vulgarians has started with signs of protest appearing in public in support of Trump.
This is the way that non-violent change is made — the people will be allowed to have their say or there will be hell to pay.
