As an early student of History, yours truly remembers there being a famous man who was a Historian, Philosopher and Writer, whose name was / is William James Durant, arguably one of the most important authors in history.

Thankfully, his work is still available, most notably from Wikipedia and ‘The Story of Civilization‘ an 11-volume work, within which there are several notable quotes, the most likely of which is: “A great civilization cannot be conquered from without till it has destroyed itself from within“.

Our enemies are the ones ‘within‘ and they’re using the Constitution and extra-constitutional acts to destroy everything of value in our nation. Laws are ignored, while Government Agency heads cover up for the Criminal behavior of Executives putting plans in place to steal elections by flooding unguarded Ballot Boxes and dropping stolen Ballots with no verification of the signatures.THAT!

Another quote: “When Liberty destroys order the hunger for order will destroy liberty“; Plus: “It may be true that you can’t fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large Country“.

Decline & fall of American empire

Fact of the matter appears to be that there’s never been any way of fixing this. Western Civilization has been in decline for centuries, along with its partner Christianity, the inevitable decline of which began with the Protestant Reformation. Once Christendom was split by heretical nonsense, the West appeared to be doomed, with the European Union becoming more like the Holy Roman Empire.

With what is currently flooding over our open borders, there might just be enough to salvage a portion of the US were we to split into red and blue, yet even that is short term, since Western Civilization is dying off profusely. Chance remains that The Roman Catholic Church and Christianity will never really die, but it certainly can contract and be persecuted where we may have to pass through more dark ages once again, before entering the light. THAT!

To those in the know, America’s decline began with Madalyn Murray O’Hare and has increased ever since with every incidence where God was removed from the culture. And here we are. The link is not disputable. We humans are sinful creatures who need to fear the Lord or the Law; both preferably. It is after all, the beginning of all wisdom.

Thankfully, God is the guard rails for a just and decent society. Remove God and you have what we are experiencing now; demoMarxocrats in charge of the debauchery. God forbid that China controls the White House via corruption of the current resident, since “absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence”, and yours truly couldn’t agree more. God reigns! Decline & fall of American empire. THAT!

Steve McCann, American Thinker: ‘The Decline and Fall of the American Empire’ …

A cursory examination of history reveals that the United States is mired in the same process that precipitated the collapse of the great empires of the past. The foibles and failures of human nature and their impact on the rise and fall of empires is amazingly consistent and the end result always inevitable. Can this nation avoid a similar fate?

Empires are defined as great military and economic powers encompassing large occupied or controlled land areas. Although they vary greatly, they average around 250 years in duration. The United States will be celebrating its 250th anniversary in 2026.

In 1976, Sir John Glubb, a distinguished British diplomat and general, wrote an essay on the fate of empires throughout history. He enumerated, based on 3,000 years of historical data, the six various stages in the rise and fall of empires.

These stages and how they apply to the United States are as follows:

• The Age of Pioneers       (The Revolutionary War and the founding of the Nation)
• The Age of Conquests    (The Western Expansion to the Pacific Ocean)
• The Age of Commerce   (Industrialization and evolution of a dominant middle class)
• The Age of Affluence     (The meteoric rise of the standard of living in the 20th Century)
• The Age of Intellect        (Global domination in the arts, medicine and technology)
• The Age of Decadence   (For 30+ years America has been increasingly mired in this age )

The Age of Decadence is marked by debauchery, defensiveness, pessimism, materialism, a significant weakening of religion, frivolity, a welfare state, and a massive influx of unassimilated foreigners.  These symptoms of national decadence are the end product of long periods of prosperity and power, love of wealth and status, and self-obsession by the ruling elites leading to fateful government corruption and instability. [-]

[+] … In the early stage of the age of decadence, materialism becomes a driving force in society, inducing many in the upper classes to indulge in excessive, often conspicuous consumption as an absurdly wealthy elite emerges. Far too many societal elites and non-elites become convinced that increased consumption and social status is the key to happiness, but in its pursuit they become demonstrably more pessimistic and less happy and fulfilled.

The search for happiness and fulfillment leads to imprudence and voyeurism becoming central to the culture. Unhappy people searching for diversion became fixated on celebrities and captive to evolving voyeurism. And voyeurism takes on a more sinister aspect as people in both ancient and modern empires become increasingly desensitized to graphic images and willing spectators or participants in violence and debauchery. [-]

[+] … Unfortunately, the vast bulk of the American citizenry is not aware of the historically precarious situation this nation finds itself.  Nor are they aware that the policies and actions of the Marxist controlled Democrat party over the past 20 years is a window into what will happen to this nation if they continue in power.  Another four to eight years of Democrat Party rule will permanently embed:

Republican primary voters must also acknowledge reality and not be captive to cultlike sycophancy for either Trump or DeSantis. They need to ask themselves: who can win against a corrupt and devious Democrat party reliant on voter fraud and manipulation in the battleground states of Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Nevada and Pennsylvania? Who has the coattails to assure the capture of both Houses of Congress? And can that person can either serve a second term or make certain another Republican will win in 2028?

It is not hyperbole to say the upcoming election cycle is the most determinative in American history. If the Republicans fail to win the presidency and Congress in 2024, this nation will have passed the point of no return and a new chapter in the annals of the decline and fall of great nations will be written.

Decline & fall of American empire. When the whole world needs peace…

All of this is undeniably true, but it’s worse as the US is far more likely to be at war with Russia than China in the short term. In fact the way the decadent and insane West is behaving it’s more than likely they provoke the Russians into Nuking them as other symptoms of decadence is the loss of masculinity and of maturity of mind. There’s also the erosion of common sense, survival instincts, and wise constraint as such as the West seem destined to haplessly stumble into a well-earned Darwin Award for a civilizationsimply too foolish to live in anymore.

If we cannot correct this through elections, then the only alternative is to experience what Spain went through in the mid-1930’s to remove the left from power. Not a pretty picture. And like Spain, we would likely have to abandon democracy for a couple of generations in order to make sure the leftists couldn’t mount a comeback. THAT!

And on that note, time for today’s MAGA Pill – Warrior-President Donald John Trump – MAGA! KAG!
