TR 386 - Envisioning a Great American Reset

Emotions cloud judgment.Is there anyone in the world who would disagree with that statement? Isn’t it true that there are many such phrases, such statements of truth that everyone in the world can agree with? Logical statements like “the sun will come up tomorrow” or “everyone has their own preference” seem so innocuous and obvious that they almost don’t even need to be said at all—except when someone needs a reminder. And right now, a lot of Americans need a reminder. As I’ve been discussing since last week, I believe that we need a vision, a vision for the future, a vision of unity that catapults American culture beyond the bickering, vitriol, and perpetual conflict that’s baked into our corrupt two-party system. Wouldn’t it be nice if people could get along and agree to disagree long enough to take care of the practical things, like making civil decisions and managing our communities? We don’t have to fight over women’s rights to fill the potholes, right?Wouldn’t it be something if people could once again work side-by-side with other people—with people who think and believe differently—to achieve common goals?I realize this may all sound Pollyanna-ish, like it’s an impossibility, like we’re beyond this point of working together, and I don’t disagree… BUT, wouldn’t it be nice?That’s the thing about a vision. It has to project an ideal, an ideal that in theory is attainable, yet nonetheless seems so distant and remote that it causes people to wonder: is it possible? Is it possible to uproot the entrenched two-party system? Can we put the two party platforms to rest and pave a way toward a fresh political process? I ask because I do not believe that it will be possible to correct course and restore our republic unless we deal with the very large, very real, very obstinate, obese, and power crazed beasts standing in our way. The great archetypes of the Elephant and the Donkey, what the Republican and Democrat parties have come to represent, are completely incongruent with the way things are, or the way we hope things to be.This is our greatest obstacle.These are the withering remnants of an old way of life, old ways of thinking, outdated processes, and vestiges of a political system rooted in and stemming from a bygone era. Things are not as they were, and there is no way of going back to the way it was. We cannot put the genie back in the bottle. We cannot deny what we now know. Nor can we ignore the perilous importance of our current circumstance. This is a moment in history that will define what the foreseeable future will look like. We are in the midst of a fourth turning—to draw upon the generational theory of Strauss & Howe—and history has shown this societal crisis was predictable, and now it must run its course. Out of the rubble of existing order, a new social structure will rise. They understand this. But do we understand this passing of the old to make room for the new?By they, I mean the globalists, the “secret cabal” of global elites who conspire through their myriad international organizations and public-private partnerships to forcefully impose their will upon the whole of humanity. They intend to cull and control the herd with unrestricted authority, to “proportion the population” to whatever level they decide is sustainable, and dictate the structure and details of our daily lives.Their collectivist vision for the future is one of digital bondage, wherein every person must succumb to the will of the state, accepting every state mandate, complying with every state regulation, paying every state tax, reporting every time the state asks, doing whatever the state says to do, saying whatever the state says to say, and thinking whatever the state wants you to think.
