This is the logical result of the Progressive ideology. Their goal for the last 100+ years has been to separate administration and politics. Now we have an unelected 4th branch of government in the bureaucracy and functions as legislator (making regulations), executive (enforcing regulations), and judiciary (fining violators). We haven’t had a constitutional republic for several decades.

The "Progressives" subverted Georgism. Even so-called "Georgists" such as Edward Dodson promote Modern Monetary Theory.

Having read John Dewey, Frank Goodenow, and Woodrow Wilson, I have to disagree. They conscientiously sought to separate the DofI and the Constitution. They didn’t think rights are inherent but are granted by government, and they thought that citizens shouldn’t have the most say but scientific bureaucrats who would be apolitical experts.

Progressives are shiites who would do away with the Constitution, so that they might bestow or take away any privilege.

They have also proven that elections can be nothing but a farce, demonstrated by Bidum's eighty one million.

The founders made it clear they understood that the constitution they crafted would be useful only for a moral people driven by a religious faith foundation.

This notion that individual leaders like Obama are responsible for our demise misses seeing the reality that it is directly a result of loss of the faith that produced the virtue and character that made the nation great. We are no longer one nation under God.

It was Obama who said we are no longer a Christian nation. Sadly he was right as evidenced by culture that has abandoned Biblical standards for sexuality.

The rise of ommunism is a manifestation of atheism. Our only hope is a spiritual revival. A great awakening of faith.

Excellent article, although I suspect this ‘coup’ has been going on for quite some time (perhaps since governmental powers that be actually assassinated a president that they didn’t like). It would appear that the election of Donald Trump spurred these ‘oligarchs’ into action; that the fact that an election result could be so uncontrolled that someone who was slated to win could actually lose, meant that whatever the ‘plan’ was, to finally assume total control over a population, needed to be ratcheted up, and put into high gear. It is noteworthy that all of this has come to a head in less than 2 years of a Biden ‘presidency’. If there is any silver lining to this cloud, it is that the uncontrolled speed of the plan to destroy the US, is beginning to awaken the sleeping masses.

There’s a pretty good case to be made that we Americans have been living a propaganda fueled delusion since 1913.

Try civil war .... the Rothschild bankers were so upset by the declaration of independence that they promised ‘They will have the US at heel again inside 50 years ‘. Every conflict , every war was INSTIGATED BY BANKS !

Money as debt - an excellent documentary how we ALL been sold into debt slavery

All codes ,laws ,mandates not in line with the Constitution are null and void ~ circa 1803 SCOTUS ruling but banks have many helpers .

Every major economic or pandemic event or war seems purposefully designed to increase the wealth and power of the Oligarchs. Anything that can stoke fear in the masses makes them more easily controlled. America has benefited from the fact that our oligarchs have gone easier on us than other countries’ oligarchs have gone on their populations. But since we are now in nearly a one-world Oligarchy, the global depopulation project has been commenced in earnest. The only important world leaders fighting against this now are Putin and Netanyahu. And the Chinese are playing various sides against eachother, expecting to takeover when the fighting ends. Better learn to speak Chinese…

I'd like to add to that the Obamas. But, they are all controlled by their puppetmasters. The rockefellers come to mind. Read WIlliam Engdahl's articles, books, and watch his videos. It's all very telling. Here's just one piece: http://www.williamengdahl.com/englishNEO26Mar2017.php

Since many are aware of all of this, how do we come out ahead?

Not just the USA that resembles the end of Rome! We in Europe are no longer listened to by our elected representatives. The EU is an elite club. The UK government is merely a front for the financiers. We, the people, are merely tax payers to fund their power grabs and other fancies.

Many of us have been having similar thoughts, because it's quite evident that our existence as a Republic is in many major aspects a farce. I would put the critical inflection point at the Kennedy assassination, not the invasion of Iraq. In a broader sense, we can argue that the conclusion of the War Between the States is when the current trajectory away from democratic republican governance began.

It's good that our military is sill not deployed against us in the homeland, but as you noted, there are disturbing movements in that direction. But IMO a more critical difference between us and the Roman republic is our system of Federalism, which remains alive despite the inroads gained by the oligarchs at the federal level. Federalism is thriving in some states, and being slowly resuscitated in others. It is perhaps our greatest hope with respect to the political aspect of our fall and potential recovery.

Well, the DOD’s hand in the development of Covid and the false vaccine is an indication that the military has, indeed, been deployed against us.

It seems like everything is happening at a frenetic pace. I suppose this is because most of these cretins are getting rather long in the tooth, and they're trying to implement their grand scheme so they can enjoy it for a few years before they go on to hell for eternity.

As Jesus said about such posers, "Verily I say unto you, They have their reward." (Matthew 6:16)

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was the beginning of the end of our Constitutional Republic in 'modern' times, imo. Central banks - the First and Second - were eliminated by wiser folk who tolerated much less corruption whereas for the last 110 years, we've not only tolerated our own slavery but we've been blind to it......as we take part in wars for profit (oh the millions of deaths of innocents we supported!) for the bankers.

The question is: with half our population embracing the jab and masks and oblivious to the coming global tyranny (and hateful of us who try to make them aware), can we, the other half, rescue our republic (and the world?) from Big Pharma AND the central banks at the same time.

I do NOT see those in power relinquishing that power, EVER, since they control the levers of all western governments, the military, and the intelligence services (as well as the 'vaccine/death' factories!).....and they've got all the money to buy anyone off or to pay for the necessary execution.

I'd say we are only now realizing that we are overwhelmed and bound in a totalitarian state that is rapidly revealing itself shamelessly.

Our human species is no longer free but is now being transformed into a herd of livestock for the elite to control and manage as any other livestock.

That the DOD holds “final authority” over the injection program of the citizens of the United States indeed reflects an invasion of home soil by our military.

The human age (block of time) was designed to last as long as needed to complete HIS PLAN.

No nation in this human block of time will last, as we know it into the next age.

Hard for American Patriots to accept even with HIStorical examples.

Jonah, Jerimiah, Eziekiel and many others loved their lands.

Nations that refuse HIS instruction end badly.

Readers can choose to stop looking to man or man's religions for answers. Start studying for yourselves. Careful who you listen to or join with. Many are false teachers just as political leaders often prove to be. Deception is their SOP. This too was warned about. To all The GOoD, Onward --->

There is no question that J-6 was a Deep State Oligarch coup. America is no longer a Constitutional democratic Republic. Maybe we haven’t really been since 1913. But it is blindingly obvious now, especially with the revelations of the Twitter files and the creation of government and adjacent surveillance of domestic enemies of the Oligarchy, as well as the obviousness of vote fraud across the land. Sorry to have to say it, but: Kiss your ass goodbye America.

We have definitely stopped being a Constitution Republic! The last "nail in the coffin was the blatant, in-your-face stealing of the 2020 election and the swearing-in of a demented, corrupt, Chinese Communist puppet pedophile who had hid out in his basement and could barely get 200 people to show up for a rally!

The Constitution is being flagrantly violated at every turn. The courts are mostly bought-off. There are still far too many self-serving RINO Deep State creatures in Congress. We are being invaded by millions of adversaries across our southern border. The Biden regime is trying to get us into a nuclear war with Russia, and China is positioning itself to invade both Taiwan and us!

If America had a tombstone, it would read:
