Shutting Up The Democrat Socialists Shut Down Nazis.

Introduction.

Our podcast today is titled, Shutting Up the Democrat Socialists Shut Down Nazis. We begin with a recent quote from a shut down Nazi named Susanne Donahue Gray, telling a small business to shut down:

Susannne Patricia Donahue-Gray, on LinkedIn

“I am sorry but I have to tell you. You guys need to close. You are not an essential business and you are passing germs with the virus. Do you want us all to die? Close the                fuck down, Mother Fuckers.!!!"

Our podcast takes issue with the premise of Glenn Beck’s recent book, Arguing With Socialists. Beck begins his book with his premise that “all Americans agree on goals.”

Beck writes,

“All Americans want to send their children to high-quality schools. We all want a lower-cost health care system that works. We all want an increased standard of living and better job opportunities. And we all want to live in peaceful, stable communities. don't forget that in most cases, Americans agree on the problems we face, it's the proposed solutions to the problems that divide us. We all agree that America has a long way to go before it reaches its full potential. On that point, we all stand firmly on common ground.”

We disagree with the premise that socialists agree with conservatives about the mission of the Nation. The attitude of Shut Down Nazis is captured by the quote above, “Close the Fuck Down, Mother Fuckers.”

Instead, we believe that the ideological differences between shut down socialists and conservatives are irreconcilable and that conservatives must prepare for what comes after the conservatives realize that arguing with socialists is useless.

We use the case of the Democrat shut down rhetoric to make our case about the futility of arguing with the socialists.

The ultimate outcome of arguing with socialists can be seen in what happened to both the Methodist and Presbyterian churches.

Both denominations let socialists begin preaching the social gospel, and not  the gospel of Jesus.

After 20 years of arguing with the socialists about the meaning of Jesus, both denominations finally concluded that nothing changes the behavior of socialists because the socialists are intransigent and intolerant of any opinion, other than their own.

In other words, the shut down Nazis are totalitarians. They are the fifth column of the political forces in America that are intent on imposing global socialism on conservatives.

 One of the worst parts about any dialogue with socialists is that they are smarmy arrogant people and have a unshakable moral arrogance that they are always right.

This arrogance makes them act out in rage when they do not get their way.

Both churches split into two parts, a traditional part that follows the gospel of Jesus, and the socialist part that preaches the social gospel of global socialism.

We argue that the divorce in both churches provides a model for the divorce between the socialist shut down Nazis and natural rights conservatives.

Beck’s argument is weak because Beck offers no political resolution to the irreconcilable differences between socialists and natural rights patriots, other than continuing to argue with them..

Beck fails to acknowledge that Madison’s constitution has a fundamental logical flaw that leads to endless do-loops about the mission of the nation.

Some days, Madison’s more perfect union means that Black slaves could not be considered citizens and that Congress could not prohibit slavery in the territories of the United States.

Some days, a more perfect union means that racial segregation, and the ensuing 70 years of racial apartheid, was constitutional, as long as the segregated facilities for Blacks were equal in quality to those of Whites.

 Determining what is “More perfect” depends on who sits on the Supreme Court.

Michael Schulson, in his article, “The Peril of State Power Amid COVID-19 Pandemic,” points out the Supreme Court can as easily use the government police power to both compel obedience to a vaccine, as to compel involuntary sterilization of Black people.

Schulson cites the case of Jacobson v. Massachusetts, which addressed the constitutional issue of how democratic societies respond to the profound threat of highly virulent pathogens, like Covid, while staying democratic.

In that case, Justice John Marshall Harlan wrote for the majority.

          "On any other basis, organized society could not exist with safety to     its members. There are manifold restraints to which every person is           necessarily subject for the common good.”

This would be the argument today of the shut down Nazis.

Several years later, the Supreme Court cited their decision in Jacobson as precedent for their decision in Buck v. Bell, in 1927, that upheld a Virginia eugenics law permitting the forced sterilization of Black people thought to have intellectual disabilities.

Writing for the majority, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes cited Jacobson in stating,

          "Society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing           their kind (uppity Blacks)…The principle that sustains compulsory           vaccination is broad enough to cover cutting the fallopian tubes."

In North Carolina, the decision in Buck granted the state Democrats the power to sterilize 50,000 blacks, against their will. The forced sterilization in North Carolina ended in the 1970s.

The term used by white Democrats in North Carolina to describe insane blacks, scheduled for sterilization, was uppity.

This is the same logic used today by the Democrat shut down Nazis, that the re-open protestors are insane and selfish because they want to infect other people.

In Jacobsson, Buck and Covid Nazis today, their logic is that Constitutional rights can be overridden by emergency orders in the interest of public safety.

Which brings us back to the argument that Constitutional rights mean whatever the Court say they mean.

As Kenneth Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem explains, Madison’s Preamble did not connect the mission of the Constitution to the principles of government declared in the Declaration of Independence.

The recursive proposition in Madison’s logical flaw is that a “more perfect union” can mean anything, at any time, depending on what the majority of the Supreme Court decides that more “perfect union” means at that time.

The danger to liberty that results from Madison’s logical flaw means that socialists do not ever have to agree with conservatives about the mission of the nation.

The socialist interpretation of a more perfect union is as equally valid as the natural rights interpretation. Sterilizing uppity Blacks is as equally valid as the lock down rules.

In the absence of a national goal in the Preamble, it is impossible to resolve the conflicts under Madison’s representative republic. (Who Is It In America That Is Responsible For Implementing the Trade Agreements With China?)

Voters have no method of choosing nationalism over globalism under Madison’s two party, first-past-the-post political system. The nation will continue to recursively fluctuate in a system that leads to chaos.

All the socialist have to do is promote mail-in ballots, and win total control over the lives of conservatives, as the two globalist health experts did in promoting the Covid shut down.

 “Do you want all of us to die?” asks Donahue-Gray, a shut down Nazi, intent on imposing her views on conservatives. “Then, stay the fuck at home.”

Or, in response to William Bennett and Seth Leibsohn’s article “Coronavirus Lessons: Fact and Reason vs. Paranoia and Fear,” another shut down Nazi claims that the “The fools who wrote this should be tried for attempted homicide by disinformation.”

The statements by shut down Nazis about Covid underscores the fundamental differences about the mission of the nation and belies Beck’s idea that arguing with the shut down Nazis will change their behavior.

We argue that conservatives are in a constitutional crisis with shut down Nazis over individual freedom, and that Madison’s flawed representative republic does not provide conservatives with a method to modify or abolish the contract.

We begin our argument with the observation that in the last week of March 2020, there were two possible government responses to Covid.

If the agents in government viewed citizens in their capacity as individual rational beings, the correct response of the CDC and Surgeon General would have been to issue warnings to citizens to wash their hands and avoid crowded areas.

If the officials in government viewed citizens in a collectivist group identity perspective, they would issue orders to lock the citizens down, because the central tenet of global collectivism is that the “experts” know better than the citizens themselves how to pursue the public purpose.

The lock down Nazis won a significant victory in their silent coup to convert the nation from an individualistic society to a communal collectivist society, without ever firing a shot.

The lock down Nazis promote the public relations panic about Covid death rates, and believe themselves morally superior to tell other citizens not to disobey agents of government. (“Close the Fuck Down. Mother Fuckers.”)

There is overlap between the fifth column of lock down Nazis and the Democrat voters that favors mail-in ballots, and oppose voter ID.

The correct title of this group is anti-democratic totalitarians.

In totalitarian societies, there is only one official version of the truth, and all other opinions must be eradicated. The lock down Nazis, also known as Karen, are the foot soldiers in imposing the official globalist version of the truth.

When Zuckerberg, and FaceBook, shut down Reopen protest groups because of “misinformation,” he was enacting 1984 doublespeak. It was not “misinformation” that Zuck disliked, it was content that did not support his totalitarian views of globalism.

The lock down Nazis are everywhere, including my tiny home community of Sunset Beach, N. C., where they have been successful in closing access and parking to the beach, and unleashing the police to enforce the emergency rules.

Jacqueline Trovato is the lead shut down Nazi and has her own FaceBook page with 370 members. In response to the Reopen NC protest in Raleigh, she wrote,

          “Can you understand now why we don't want people from Raleigh           here? This is so disturbing. The good people who are staying home           and safe in Raleigh are going to be infected now when they go the           stores. Activities like this will only prolong the suffering. The protest   is allowed as long as protestors follow social distancing rule. They           aren't.

Her husband, Jim Thomas, an attorney, added,

          “They do not have the right to protest in violation of distancing rules!           When did everyone start ignoring the law???”

Jim’s logic is easy to understand, an executive order, for him, has the same force as a law passed by the General Assembly, or a provision of the Constitution.  

Except that North Carolina and Sunset Beach are governed by a system of separation of power and checks and balances between the legislative and executive branches, not a police state regime.

The Governor of North Carolina used the Covid extended duration of time to seize power, that is different than the shorter duration of a hurricane or civil riot.

The Governor’s order is an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power to the Governor, who both makes the law, as he goes along in an extended period of time, and enforces the law that he makes.

Sunset Beach, N. C. has a total population of 4000 citizens and 19 police officers, for a ratio of one officer per 210 citizens. The national average ratio for towns less than 25,000, is 1 officer per 600 citizens.

In collaboration with the Governor’s unconstitutional seizure of power, the overbearing police state presence in Sunset Beach bolsters the shut down Nazis in their desire to lock down the citizens.

Our podcast uses the arguments of the lock down Nazis to provide three perspectives of American citizens in the Covid battle, all of which support our conclusion that conservatives must divorce the socialists.

The first perspective of citizens is the global leftist perspective of conservatives, which is based upon group identity politics and the pursuit of social justice.

In their minds, the re-open patriots are terrorists for showing up at protests with guns.

We argue that unless conservatives understand how lefties view them that the full realization of how dangerous they are will not be gained.

Our second perspective is how the left’s perspective of conservatives affects the self-perspective of natural rights conservatives. Conservatives have been co-opted by the language and tactics of socialists.

We argue that unless, and until, the conservative movement breaks free of the leftist mindset that they will become useful idiots in the coming socialist slavery.

Finally, we argue that the correct perspective for viewing the Nation’s mission begins with a restoration of the principles of Locke and Jefferson about the function of government in a natural rights republic.

We conclude that the advice given to conservatives in our book A Civil Dissolution: Solving America’s Intractable Problem of Socialism provides a better way to deal with the lock down Nazis than the banal advice of Beck about continuing to arguing with them.

Madison’s Constitution is not doing its job, and the natural rights of citizens are being destroyed by the consolidated, centralized, tyrannical power of political elites in Washington, aided and abetted by the lock down Nazis.

On every single principle of a natural rights republic, the socialists have an alien, subversive view of America, based upon communal, socialist values.

We explain that socialists do not have a moral allegiance to the constitutional rule of law, and that they have no concept of God-given natural individual rights, because they have no concept of God.

We conclude that a civil dissolution of the nation into socialist slave states and liberty free states is the best possible strategy to avoid future bloodshed.

Introduction: How The Covid Political Public Relations Panic Damaged the U. S. Economy.

Our podcast extends the analysis of Angelo Codevilla about the economic effect of Trump’s initial March 15, 2020,  “15 days to stop the spread,” decision  to shut the U. S. economy down, and his subsequent decision to shut the nation’s economy down for an additional 30 days, on March 30, 2020.

In his article, “Is the President Forgetting Politics 101?” Codevilla combines a political analysis with an economic analysis in order to describe President Trump’s decision to shut the U. S. economy down.

Codevilla’s analysis begins with the identification of an American “ruling class” that is at war with President Trump’s effort to defend the sovereign national economic interest. 

The ruling class wants globalism, not Trump’s economic nationalism. 

Codevilla writes, 

“The ruling class savors the grip on us that it has achieved during the past three weeks—above all the presumption that we must quietly accept non-legal decrees from on high. It will not give up that grip without a fight. President Trump has placed himself on a path that leads to political suicide. He did this by surrendering to the ruling class—Drs. Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, et al, not to mention House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, his judgment on whether and for how long, the country should be shut down.” 

We extend Codevilla’s analysis of the ruling class to include their motivation to damage Trump, politically. Trump had been having campaign rallies where he touted the stock market and economic growth as benefitting working class Americans.

It was imperative for the political forces who hate Trump to take those two issues away from him.

The Dow Jones increased from 24,719, in 2017, to 28,538, at the end of 2019.

The GDP was increasing at an average annual growth rate of 3%. 

TABLE 8-9. Real gross domestic product by industry, value added, and percent changes, 1997-2018 

After the ruling class unleashed the fear panic, the Dow Jones dropped to a low around 18,000, and GDP is expected to decline about 35% by the end of 2020.

The ruling class used the public relaltions panic of Covid to destroy Trump’s two main political issues, and the damage to the economy, via shutting the economy down, was collateral damage to their main goal of damaging Trump.

As Bill Gates also suggested, banning large public gatherings, such as Trump rallies, may also be a good idea to stop the spread and flatten the curve.

Prior to the Covid panic, the ruling class had already damaged the economic structure of America with its political promotion of disastrous trade deals. 

The trade deals caused the American economy to bifurcate into a component of big companies that benefit from global trade, and the rest of the economy that is not connected to global markets. 

After the economy split into two parts, the labor market shifted from a diversified job structure to a job structure where 80% of all jobs were in the service sector. 

The ruling class had soothingly murmured, in 1992, that the

The trade deals caused the American economy to bifurcate into a component of big companies that benefit from global trade, and the rest of the economy that is not connected to global markets. 

After the economy split into two parts, the labor market shifted from a diversified job structure to a job structure where 80% of all jobs were in the service sector. 

The ruling class had soothingly murmured, in 1992, that the loss of U. S. manufacturing jobs would be replaced by high-paying, stable jobs in the service sector, commonly called the gig economy. 

That was a lie, on the same order of magnitude as the lies of the Bill Gates-funded IHME model that Trump relied upon to shut the economy down. 

The shift to a service sector economy left the labor market and economy much weaker to recover from an economic collapse because the service sector does not generate the same level of income and employment multipliers as manufacturing. 

For example, in order to produce a dollar of output, each of the six service sectors requires about 3cents from the manufacturing sector. The economy, after the trade deals, was entirely dependent on consumer spending, much of which was spent on cheap Chinese imports. 

Every dollar of consumer spending delivered to the finished goods, final demand market in services, like bars and retail shops, generates an additional 15 cents in indirect income in other sectors. 

The consumer spending services part of the economy became disconnected from the manufacturing economy because manufacturing was now in China. 

In order to produce a dollar of output, the manufacturing sector requires 34 cents from its own supply chain and only about 9 cents from the 6 service sectors. 

Every dollar of output delivered by manufacturing to the final demand markets creates about $2 worth of indirect income benefits, and an additional 50 cents in induced, or third round benefits. 

Bureau of Economic Analysis

Commodity-by Industry Direct Requirements, After Redefinitions (in producers' prices) 

The transition to the services sector, as a result of trade with China, weakened the U.S. economy because services are not well integrated into the rest of the economy, and have very few income multiplier linkages with manufacturing. 

The national economy is weak because 70% of all GDP is in the services sector, and about 80% of all jobs are in the services sector. 

Even if the economy is opened back up, the economic structure is already too weak to transmit employment and income multipliers throughout the gig economy. 

Large global corporations, and the ruling class, will not suffer to the same extent as the gig economy because the global corporations still have their global interindustry supply chains to transmit economic growth to that part of the economy. 

In other words, as a result of the bifurcation, about 100% of all future  GDP will be related to the 30% of the economy that is connected to the global market. 

The U. S. economy, and the social structure, will look just like the European economy and social structure, with large corporations conducting business as usual, and the rest of society making a living cutting each other’s hair and painting each other’s toenails. 

The reason that Kudlow and Navarro are wrong about the U. S. economy “bouncing back,” whenever Trump gets around to opening the economy back up is that the economic structure of the American economy was already damaged by the trade deals, and the gig service sector does not have interindustry multiplier linkages with the rest of the economy. 

Just like Chicago’s economy, in the 1980s, the U. S. economy has been “hollowed out” by the trade deals. Trump’s Covid economic stimulus, that would have worked in America, prior to 1992, is wasted because the employment and income multipliers are gone. 

We argue that this will not be a hockey stick, V-shaped, economic  recovery. The income pathways to distribute income across all social classes no longer exist. 

This argument about the economic importance of supply chains and multipliers is similar to the argument about the economic weakness caused by the global corporations moving the biotech and pharma interindustry supply chains to China. 

The economic sovereignty of the nation is damaged by having the medical supply chains in China, and the crony capitalists who are responsible for moving the supply chains to China are the same forces that are undermining Trump’s Presidency. 

It will take years to rebuild the national economic interindustry linkages, even if Trump is successful in compelling the companies to move manufacturing production back to the U. S. 

The structural weakness of the service sector in generating economic growth is made even more damaging because the service sector does not generate technological innovation. 

Almost 75% of all future economic growth is caused by technological innovation, not productivity improvements. 

And, that technological economic growth is caused by private business capital investments in new technology ventures, not increased government spending. 

Trump’s massive new government spending stimulates fleeting, transitory, increases in consumer consumption, but does not increase private sector investment in technology innovation. 

The ruling class has been successful in consolidating technology innovation in a  big business-university closed loop of research, where the benefits of innovation are tightly controlled by the global companies. 

In the same way that the Covid stimulus is wasted because the economic structure has been damaged, the large corporations direct the benefits of innovation to themselves, and not to the broader domestic economy. 

In other words, the global corporations, and the ruling class, benefit from this closed innovation platform, while the rest of the American society suffers. 

This is one explanation of why Gates and Fauci want a university-corporate research based vaccine to deal with Covid, and are not interested in promoting the existing malaria drug to treat the disease.

Gates and Fauci are globalists, intent on protecting globalism, not Trump’s national economic sovereignty.

That unelected big business power over technology innovation is not going to bounce back, when Trump finally decides to open up the economy. 

As both Codevilla, and Rush Limbaugh have noted, the only person that can peel away Trump voters from Trump, is Trump. 

Trump is on the verge of going from being a great President to being the world’s greatest magician, who made the greatest economy, in history, disappear in 60 days.

Introduction. The End of Madison’s Representative Republic. 

Our podcast extends the recent comment by Jesse Kelly, Host of ‘I’m Right’ on the television channel, The First. 

Kelly tweets, 

“We need a national divorce. I have no common bond with these people. There is nothing keeping us together. Let’s get through this pandemic and start working out the details.” 

We argue that the current ideological differences between Democrat socialists and natural rights conservatives are irreconcilable and irresolvable. 

We cite the historical case of the Roman Republic that collapsed when citizens lost trust and allegiance to the Roman rule of law. 

We argue that the ideological differences involve fundamental disagreements over the mission of the nation, and we use the original principles of the nation to argue that a representative republic can only endure if it is built upon shared cultural values that bind the citizens into a common mission. 

We use the analogy of a failed marriage to argue that there is no longer any love between socialists and conservatives, and that the best course of action is to admit that Madison’s representative republic is over. 

Coming to grips with the fact that the national marriage is over means crossing the American Rubicon, to create a new constitution for a new nation, built upon the state sovereignty framework of the Articles of Confederation. 

And, like the end of a marriage, crossing the divorce Rubicon means bidding our former spouse good luck, goodbye, and God speed. 

The Roman Republic was based upon allegiance of citizens to obey the unwritten rule of law. The allegiance to the rule of law was voluntary. The allegiance was sustained because Roman citizens shared a widespread cultural value of personal honor that compelled voluntary allegiance to obey the rule of law.

The fall of the Roman Republic was caused by a widespread moral decay of the traditional Roman social and moral codes of behavior, both in the elites and the common citizens.

The traditional values that Roman citizens shared were virtue, individual dignity, self-discipline, and sense of duty.

Cicero explained the fall of the Roman Republic as the collapse of morality by saying,

“Everybody demands as much political power as he has force behind him. Reason, moderation, law, tradition, and duty count for nothing.”

In other words, the Roman Republic was based upon respect for the unwritten rule of law that compelled voluntary obedience to the written law. When the respect for the unwritten rule of law eroded, the Roman Republic ended.

When Caesar reached the Rubicon, from his conquest of Gaul, he was aware that respect for rule of law was ending because he had become a victim of the corruption of the Roman Senate.

Before he crossed the Rubicon, he invited a number of Roman historians and philosophers to come to the river and describe the situation in Rome.

They described the rampant corruption of the Senators, who were using the government to enrich themselves.

After his discussions with the historians, he reached his own psychological Rubicon that the Roman Republic was over. Part of his motivation to cross the Rubicon was to end the corr

Like Caesar, American natural rights conservatives must cross their own psychological Rubicon that the national marriage with Democrat socialists is over.

The conservative’s ideological divisions with socialists are irrevocable and irreconcilable.

Like the Roman Senate, the national government has been captured by a centralized, global, elite tyranny that uses the agencies of government to enrich themselves.

Like the Roman Senators, the corporate and socialist ruling class elites in Washington have a profound disrespect for the rule of law, and a profound hatred of non-socialists.

Madison’s Constitution is no help to citizens in eliminating the tyranny, because Madison’s institutional rules of the Constitution did not contemplate a disunion between citizens in the principles and mission of the nation.

Madison’s rules were designed to check and balance commercial financial social classes, not ideological differences over freedom and liberty. 

The ideology of socialism does not fit into Madison’s Constitution because it is a unified philosophical view of the world. As the socialists use the term in their propaganda, the ideology is aimed at achieving a future state of “social justice,” not protecting and preserving liberty, today.

Attempting to “fix” Madison’s Constitution with amendments does nothing to change the behavior of Democrats, or restore their respect for the rule of law. 

Polybius wrote, 

“Once people had grown accustomed to eating off others’ tables and expected their daily needs to be met, then, they found someone to champion their cause... they instituted government by force.” 

The socialists, as predicted by Polybius, expect the government to meet their daily needs, and they are committed to taking over the government by force to eradicate a society based upon individualism. 

The Democrat socialists masquerade as American citizens because they need the basic liberties of the nation, in order to destroy the liberty of the conservatives. 

Natural rights conservatives must adjust their mental image of Democrats in order to accommodate the new, changed political reality that Democrats hate America, hate conservatives, and are dedicated to taking away fundamental civil liberties. 

Conservatives must bring themselves to the conclusion that there are only two options open for dealing with the socialists. 

Either the nation can embark on a civil dissolution, where both factions form their own nation, or the citizens can embark on a civil war, where the victor imposes order on the losers.

Episode 37. December 6, 2019.

CLP topic category: Democrat Police State Socialism.

Introduction.

Our podcast today re-examines the destruction, in August of 2018, of the UNC Confederate monument, known as Silent Sam,

Our podcast places the criminal act of destroying the monument into the larger historical context of the Democrat’s effective use of violence to obtain their goal of a one-party political regime.

Our podcast argues that there is an unbroken historical continuity, from 1898 to 2019, in the violence of the Democrat Party, using the cover of “white supremacy” as the justification of the violence to obtain political goals.

The argument made in this podcast is that there never was a “New South.”

As both W. J. Cash and C. Wright Mills correctly describe, the history of North Carolina is an unbroken continuity of the lawyers, bankers and merchant power elites in the Democrat Party using violence to obtain political goals

In the era of Julian Carr, the Democrats used the war cry “Negro Rule,” to erect the racial apartheid system that lasted 80 years. The violence of the Democrats created a one-party, totalitarian white supremacist society,

In the modern era, the Democrat Party uses the war cry, “white supremacy,” to justify their acts of violence to eliminate opposition. In their telling of history, the Republicans are a racist party, and Trump is a white supremacist.

In other words, the term “white supremacist,” is a useful political term, that has no legitimate meaning, other than as a propaganda tool for the Democrats to legitimize their violence.

Our podcast argues that the destruction of Silent Sam was a carefully coordinated attack, led by Carol Folt, a Democrat, whose text messages on August 20, 2018, show her collaboration with antifa and the police to “stand down,” four minutes before the statute came down.

The main conclusion of the podcast is that violence works as an effective tactic for Democrats, and that the destruction of Silent Sam was a huge political success for the Democrats.

But, the victory over Silent Sam will never be enough for Democrats.

The Democrat’s goal is to use violence to create a totalitarian society, where only politically correct socialist ideas are allowed, under the penalty of death.

We believe that the differences between Democrats and conservatives are irreconcilable and unresolvable, under the current Constitution.

On every single principle of a natural rights republic, the Democrats socialists have an alien, subversive, view of America.

Today, nothing binds the two factions together in a common national mission. The socialists will never voluntarily obey the unwritten American rule of law because they will never share the cultural belief that all persons, institutions, and entities are subject to the equal application of the law.

The only peaceful, non-violent solution to the nation’s conflict is to dissolve the nation.

We advocate the creation of a new constitution, based upon on the state sovereignty framework of the Articles of Confederation, which changes the representative republic to a democratic republic.

Our constitutional principles of government are on our Democratic Republic of America website.

CLP topic. Vichy Republican Collaborators

America After Trump?

Introduction.

Our podcast today extends Angelo Codevilla’s recent analysis about the future of America, after the 2020 election.

We use Codevilla’s analysis to examine the future of America from the perspective of what happens to the establishment Republican Party, what happens to the Trump conservative movement, and what happens to America, as a nation.

Codevilla asks,

“The instant after the 2020 elections… the real question is: What will become of us? What can we, what must we, do for ourselves?...Not even winning a bloody civil war against the ruling class could accomplish such a thing as returning the nation to its founding principles.”

Codevilla argues that restoring the country to its founding vision is “out of the question.” He says,

“Constitutional conservatism on behalf of a country, a large part of which rejects common citizenship, is impossible.”

Codevilla cites the work of F. H. Buckley, in his book, American Secession: The Looming Threat of a National Breakup, to argue that the framework of state sovereignty federalism, in the Articles of Confederation, offered a better pathway for protecting the natural rights of citizens than Madison’s centralized representative republic.

Our podcast argues that Codevilla’s analysis of the impossibility of returning to the founding principles is correct. He argues that the deep state, which Codevilla calls, the “ruling elite class,” are too far entrenched in the existing government to ever return to a government based upon the consent of the governed.

The establishment Republicans, represented by Karl Rove, are the administrative organization of the deep state, and the State Department bureaucrats who showed up in the impeachment hearings to testify against Trump, are directed by the global ruling class leaders of the deep state.

To paraphrase V. O. Key, in Southern Politics in State and Nation, the agents of the deep state do the bidding of the global elite, without prompting, because they both share a deep ideological commitment to advancing global socialism.

According to the Democrat’s interpretation of impeachment, Trump abused his power by not obeying the agents of the deep state.

In her recent book about Trump, Nikki Haley identifies Tillerson and Kelly as members of the deep state governing apparatus. She explains that Tillerson and Kelly attempted to recruit her in the attempted deep state coup against Trump.

Rush Limbaugh sees Haley as the possible leader of the Trump conservative movement, after 2024. He thinks that the Republican Party is actually the Trump conservative movement, and that Haley has been converted as a Trump protégé.

Limbaugh writes,

“Now, I actually believe that the Republican Party doesn’t know it yet, but it is Trump’s party.”

Limbaugh believes that Haley is not willing to have the Republican institutional establishment returned to Karl Rove after the 2020 election.

In his article, “Nikki Haley fires the first shot in the GOP's post-Trump war,” J.T. Young, states that,

“Haley has signaled that she will not side with those desiring to return the party to its establishment. Establishment Republicans believe Trump to be just a momentary break in their political and policy continuum. After Trump, they will both purge the Trump interlopers and regularly beat a vulnerable Democratic Party now hostage to its left wing.”

Neither the establishment Republican Party of Karl Rove, nor Nikki Haley, as the leader of the Trump conservative movement, can overcome the irreconcilable differences between the socialist Democrats and natural rights conservatives.

Karl Rove’s American Crossroads and American Action Network are the defacto Republican establishment political front groups that use the Republican organizational apparatus to promote the interests of America’s wealthiest families and global corporations.

Rove, and his groups, are best seen as  Republican Vic

Karl Rove’s American Crossroads and American Action Network are the defacto Republican establishment political front groups that use the Republican organizational apparatus to promote the interests of America’s wealthiest families and global corporations.

Rove, and his groups, are best seen as  Republican Vichy Collaborators, with the socialists, to implement a new world order. Rove is a political operative of the deep state, and takes his orders from the global ruling class.

Trump’s conservative political movement does not have a coherent political ideology of individualism, and Haley’s recent book about Trump does not address Codevilla’s argument about the entrenched power of the ruling elite class.

Unlike the establishment Republicans of Rove, the socialist Democrats have a coherent anti-American ideology, based upon grievance and victimization.

After 2020, the Democrats will continue to advocate the transformation of America into a global socialist nation, ruled by the deep state elites.  

The socialists are driven by their ideology that socialism is better than individualism, and they will never stop undermining America until they implement a totalitarian socialist regime.

There is no other side to the war over the future of America because Rove’s establishment Republicans do not have an ideology of individual freedom.

This podcast concludes that Codevilla and Young are correct in their assessment that America is over.

The obvious competitor ideology to socialism, after 2020, is to return to the revolutionary Spirit of ’76, and the restoration of the American Democratic Impulse.

The only peaceful, non-violent strategy for solving the irreconcilable differences is a civil dissolution of the nation, based upon a vote in each legislature to either join the new Democratic Republic of America, or cast their lot with the new Socialists States of America.

Introduction.

In the natural rights individualist society, the role of government is to reduce the chance situations that other individuals, or the deep state agents, will deploy the police power of the state to override the individual citizen’s freedoms of choice in pursuing their sovereign life mission.

 

The government serves this function by administering the rule of law provided by the constitutional framework of collective decision-making, whose goal is to secure just outcomes to the laws that individuals give to themselves.

“No one is born into moral subjugation to political power,” stated Jefferson.

Jefferson wrote that when citizens leave the state of nature to create their government, “all men are created equal… in nature all humans are equal…not subject to the rightful authority of any other human being…in a state of nature no rightful authority exists in nature. No man is subjected to the will or authority of any other man,” he wrote, over and over again, from 1776, to the very last letter he wrote in 1826.

Jefferson believed that individuals are rights-possessors, with equal inalienable rights to pursue their own happiness, manage their private lives, and be free of government coercion in their person and their property.

Jefferson’s natural rights principles were:

Equality among citizens to participate in government.

Privacy of citizens from the invasions of agents of government.

The right to vote in free and fair elections.

The protection of the natural and property rights of individuals as the supreme goal of government.

Equal access to the courts and equality before the law.

Jefferson wrote the Declaration as a compact between citizens in each state to establish a rightful centralized political power, dedicated to protecting the natural rights of citizens that are left incompletely protected within each state government.

The adoption of the Declaration, in 1776, and the subsequent adoption Articles, in 1781, moved the citizens of the United States toward a constitutional egalitarian individualism, with an appeal to natural rights.

 

Jefferson’s constitutional arrangement, as expressed in the Articles, was based upon the common moral values in the Declaration.

Madison’s constitution was not.

Conclusion of Introduction.

We believe that the differences between Democrats and conservatives are irreconcilable and unresolvable, under the current Constitution.

On every single principle of a natural rights republic, the Democrats socialists have an alien, subversive, view of America.

Today, nothing binds the two factions together in a common national mission. The socialists will never voluntarily obey the unwritten American rule of law because they will never share the cultural belief that all persons, institutions, and entities are subject to the equal application of the la
