This Is Your Last Chance, by Robert Gore (Straight Line Logic)
You would think that living off the Industrial Revolution’s productive legacy, with first call on incomes and accumulated wealth, rulers would command more than ample resources to do whatever they desired. Such is not the case. Their schemes and rapacity are unlimited while even in the most productive and wealthy societies, resources are not. Governments and their central banks have created a debt explosion that leaves the world in the deepest financial hole it’s ever been.
The explosion has accelerated the past few years, leaving rulers at the outer limits of what they can expropriate or borrow. Whatever growth in GDPs they now hail, the unmentioned growth in debt is greater—the hole gets deeper. This state of affairs illustrates history’s central truism: governments can’t produce. Their stock in trade, coercion and violence, only destroys. Making producers tax and debt slaves to those who produce nothing destroys both production and integrity.

imo, the solution was stated well in the video:

I hope this link works. Despite the author's opinion of this article's peaceful resolution of the society tearing itself apart, I'm very pessimistic about that. The DC administration including the puppeteers and the swamp that is actually running the government are going to be in for a rude awaking. America that exists now will fracture along right and left political philosophies. Secession has to be the only alternative.
Excellent essay, Robert.
I purchased "The Golden Pinnacle" some time ago and I think it's time I read it again!
I don't see how bombs and bullets will ever make an improvement. I think that state run education is the common evil that prevails in almost every country and only places that replace that system with complete educational freedom will thrive. Teach kids to think, not how or what and let that go long enough and we will reset to what we are driven by nature to be.
