Transcript for 9/17/24: SPIRITUS MUNDI – THE ETERNAL INTERNAL WAR
It has been said that Americans are highly entertained but when it comes to knowing how their country operates they are completely in the dark.
A recent survey shows that, even in an election year, many Americans are still fuzzy on some basic civics concepts.
The Annenberg Constitution Day Civics Survey to celebrate Constitution Day on September 17, offers a fascinating glimpse into what Americans know (and don’t know) about their government and constitutional rights.
First, the positive: nearly two-thirds of Americans (65%) can correctly name all three branches of government – executive, legislative, and judicial. It means most people understand the basic structure of our government and how power is divided.
When it comes to the First Amendment, though, things get a bit murkier. While almost everyone knows about freedom of speech (74% of respondents named it), the other four rights protected by this crucial amendment are far more problematic for Americans to name. Only 39% mentioned freedom of religion, 29% noted freedom of the press, 27% recalled the right to assembly, and a mere 11% identified the right to petition the government.
Surprisingly, more people incorrectly said the right to bear arms (22%) was in the First Amendment than those who correctly identified the right to petition the government.
Civics knowledge matters. Those who do not understand the rights protected by the Constitution can neither cherish nor invoke them; those who do not know which party controls the House and Senate may misattribute credit or blame for action or inaction.
Understanding how your government works is crucial for being an informed citizen and voter. It helps you know and protect your rights, understand political news and debates, make informed decisions at the ballot box, and hold your representatives accountable.
I have said before that most Americans are always talking about the First and Second Amendments but when it comes to details or the others it becomes murky.
But a lot of Americans are satisfied with the ignorance because they just don't think that little details about the Constitution just don't matter -- and like the bible people love to dictate scripture even though it is misquoted or bent to fit a hateful agenda.
I don't know how obvious it has become but the spiritus mundi is hell-bent on having an internal war that will certainly heat up if those in power keep up the lies they use to cover their tyrannical control.
Its hour has not quite come around yet, but something is definitely rising out of the sea -- the dragon with the horns, the woman riding the beast -- the beast being worshipped in a totalitarian system of overreach.
Sans the idea of an alien invasion or the second coming we best be prepared to get an education in what leaders do when they are desperate -- History is a harsh mistress and you don't have to be some strange mystic to know which way the pendulum swings.
People are waiting for a civil war where the red uniforms and the blue uniforms meet in an open field and do it Braveheart style -- but this is not how you conduct a modern civil war.. it is business as usual except for the random killings, the coup de ta, the insurrections and the war between the police, the military and the people.
Living in a police state is only felt when you are detained at a checkpoint, avoid a part of town where there are riots and hear stories on the news of judges, journalists, and politicians being killed or exiled.
Living in a police state is only felt when wailing sirens become our national anthem, they are a great replacement for an alarm clock at 2 in the morning with marching mobs and flash banks starting your day a little early.
Get sleep while you can and always sleep with one eye open and an ear to the ground.
Every new totalitarian system is preceded by some sort of civil war. You can’t just implement totalitarianism out of nowhere. To impose totalitarianism on society, you need to tear society apart, pit the masses against each other, and foment fanaticism, mass hysteria, and hatred. Above all, you need to foment fear.
Once you have torn society apart and whipped the masses into a mindless paroxysm of fear and hate and murderous rage, you can implement your new form of totalitarianism fairly easily, as people will be desperate for the restoration of “order.”
One of the best ways to tear society apart and whip the masses into a mindless frenzy of fear and homicidal rage and hatred until they literally cannot think anymore and are reduced to a robotic state of cognition in which they shut down entirely or are transformed into shrieking fanatical zealots is to terrorize them with fake existential threats, like the return of Hitler, or invisible threat to the democracy.
We have experienced one invisible threat with an apocalyptic virus, or whatever it was. We hear that the threat of a new one is always looming.
Then we again see the demonizing of everyone who refuses to play along with the fake existential threats as yet another existential threat, and then terrorize the masses all over again.
If you do that long enough, what will eventually happen is, that the people you demonized as an existential threat because they wouldn’t play along with the fake existential threats you were terrorizing the masses with will rise up against you, and attempt to remove you from power.
Let's take Donald Trump for example -- the left is doing all they can to meddle and interfere with a fair election. They have impeached Trump, indicted Trump, threatened him with jail, and have tried to assassinate him twice.
If all of this doesn't work, if they don't succeed in killing him they still have another ace in the hole.
Rep. Jamie Raskin who is a democrat from Maryland admitted that the Democrat plan should Donald Trump win a second term in the White House this fall is to basically remove him via the U.S. Constitution.
The contingency plan involves the invocation of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, also known as the “Insurrection Clause,” which disqualifies former government officials from holding office if they engaged in an “insurrection” after taking an oath to support the Constitution.
The Democrats claim that Trump sparked the events of Jan. 6, 2021-- that he is the sole reason there were hordes of angry people that destroyed the capital.
Those hordes were deemed to have committed “insurrection” by the left – and since Trump is said to have led them in doing what they did, he, too, is a target for elimination.
Rep. Raskin says that invoking Sec. 3 of the 14th Amendment on Jan. 6, 2025, to prevent Trump from taking office “could lead to civil war,” which is why he wants Democratic members of Congress to be given bodyguards.
This is how Democrats try to overturn an election by cherry-picking the Constitution.
Raskin even says doing so would result in Civil war --as if it is something that is inevitable and so if Trump wins they should disqualify him at the last minute and spark a national emergency.
For Rep. Raskin’s plan to work, two-thirds of both the House and the Senate must support it. Are there enough members of Congress willing to go along with the plan?
In the House: currently 212 democrats, 220 republicans. A two-thirds majority is 290 votes, meaning if 78 Republicans join Democrats-- are there enough Republicans that would cast a vote against Donald Trump in the end?
It appears as though Rep. Raskin’s plan has been in the works since at least 2018. The deep state had its puppets revealing somewhat more quietly at the time that Trump will not be allowed to win the 2024 election – and if he does, he will not be allowed to actually enter the White House in 2025.
This is unbelievable.
All this talk about a peaceful transition of power is a lie -- a big lie and it is a conspiracy that is being planned on both sides to trigger a civil wr.
Neil Howe, who co-authored the book The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy, noted that four out of five predictors for a civil war have already happened, leaving the country on the edge of unparalleled internal conflict.
Howe summarized the factors he considers are pushing the American nation toward a possible civil war.
He said the first of four that have come to pass is a “crisis over debt,” which Howe referred to as a “new tea party movement,” which manifested during the 2010 political conflicts under the same name.
The second is a WMD (weapon of mass destruction) attack on a major American city, this being the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack on New York City. Howe said the terrorist attacks accomplished this prediction by bringing destruction and enduring consequences.
The third was the pandemic, specifically the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic which swept across the world beginning in 2020.
The fourth one was Russia invading a former soviet republic. This was fulfilled when Russia began its special military operation in Ukraine in February 2022, and it connects with his prediction of international tensions reaching a fever pitch.
Howe said the only remaining predictor is a nullification crisis, where “one or more of the states would actually nullify federal regulation, which could lead to a new secession movement.”
Such an event could be the tipping point that drops the country into chaos.
Howe’s theory is based upon the concept of “fourth turnings,” which are cyclical events that happen every 80 to 100 years and set off major turmoil like the Great Depression or World War II.
He believes the U.S. is currently experiencing one of these fourth turnings, characterized by today’s intense political polarization and cultural clashes.
Howe said the divisions between “red” and “blue” America have increased and become so deep that each side now sees the other as “perfectly evil.” He stressed that while democracy serves well for settling ordinary issues, it struggles to negotiate deeply personal and identity-driven fights.
Howe stressed that the nation is at a turning point, adding that the sense of existential threat could push the nation into chaos.
As I said last night it is a revolution or a civil upheaval that Karl Marx said is a good time to begin the process of creating a tyrannical government.
If we are to believe that there are Marxist criminals in the deep state ranks we have to consider the signposts that lead to this type of totalitarian takeover.
With a civil war-- or even in civil turmoil they can justify the implementation of a new form of totalitarianism without too much trouble.
Kamal Harris has already created something resembling a plausible oppositional militant force that you need to suspend constitutional rights and the rule of law to contend with a monstrous threat to democracy.
This rhetoric has become dangerous, and puts a target on over 50% of the population that may have values and ideals that do not appreciate the policies of a radical left wing.
We are seeing what is called a "Clear and Hold" operation.
Clear and hold is a counter-insurgency strategy in which military personnel clear an area of insurgents, and then keep the area clear of insurgents while winning the support of the populace for the government and its policies.
It's a security theater play where the military and police are titling at windmills using force and overreach and calling it insurrection.
This is where there are never-ending riots, an eternal battle where those caught in the middle are no longer sure what they are fighting against -- only that the bad guys are now shooting at them -- and it is now an option to shoot back.
What is actually happening is, that a dominant power — a globally hegemonic dominant power in our case — is eliminating internal resistance throughout the territory it occupies, which in our case happens to be the whole planet.
Any forms of internal resistance have to be euthanized. The character of the resistance makes no difference … Islamic fundamentalism, Christian fundamentalism, neo-nationalism, “populism,” socialism, whatever. Any form of resistance that interferes with the consolidation of its global takeover.
Here is a simple analogy:
Imagine, if the authorities in charge of a prison instigated a war between two prison gangs, who were actually fighting for dominance in the prison. The gangs are real. The war is real. When it is over, one of the gangs will be dominant among the prison population.
However, everyone will still be in prison, probably under a state of lockdown, which is what happens after a prison riot.
This is the civil war they are invoking -- they want the prisoners to fight so that they can implement more draconian laws to keep the people believing that "control" is far more virtuous than freedom.
You see one prison gang has beaten the other -- but you are still in a prison system that gives you no quarter.
This is what Kamala Harris and Tim Walz calls joy.
So many joy bombs you will explode into a pink mist.
Maybe try, just for a few minutes, to step back from all the false dichotomies and all the thought-terminating clichés and the hatred and fear that we are being systematically inundated with, and reflect on where all this excitement is leading us, and how our passions are being instrumentalized … and by whom and for what purpose they are being instrumentalized.
All sides are still waging war on our constitutional freedoms, and “we the people” remain the biggest losers. We still are in this eternal prison.
No matter who wins, the bureaucratic minions of the Security/Military Industrial Complex and its Police State/Deep State partners will retain their stranglehold on power.
Regardless of who has the power, Harris or Trump, the Deep State will still find a way to control the situation -- if one steps out of line and does not carry out the agenda you see what happens to them -- I mean look at what is happening to Trump and even though the left hate him -- they don't realize how power hungry and dangerous their own party has become and it won't stop -- the line has been crossed.
Unfortunately, although the Bill of Rights was adopted as a means of protecting the people against government tyranny, in America today, the government does whatever it wants, freedom be damned.
It is like we are living in another season of "House of Cards."
We the people continue to be terrorized, traumatized, and tricked into a semi-permanent state of compliance by a government that cares nothing for our lives or our liberties.
The bogeymen’s names and faces have changed over time terrorism, the war on drugs, illegal immigration, a viral pandemic, and more to come, but the end result remains the same: They have declared eternal and unwinnable hybrid warfare in the so-called name of national security.
The Constitution has been steadily chipped away at, undermined, eroded, whittled down, and generally discarded with the support of Congress, the White House, and the courts.
What we are left with today is but a shadow of the robust document adopted more than two centuries ago. Sadly, most of the damage has been inflicted--and we have been acclimated to a corrupt system -- that is no longer an example of that so-called shining city on the hill.
It is already clear that persecution is the fate of any American dissident. When US citizens disagree with their country’s policies, the authorities attack, arrest and defame them. Unfortunately, this is the reality in the country that claims to be the global guardian of democracy. However, this lie is increasingly discredited. Despite all the propaganda efforts, it is already clear to the world that the US is no longer a democracy.
And it appears that no one wishes to fight to keep the public intact.
It is like we are waiting for the predator to attack and get it over with -- the Spiritus Mundi is dead -- it is barely holding on to what is left and it is hard to watch this crumble away.
