That would be news to the folks in the former USSR, or Yugoslavia, or Czechoslavakia, etc.
As our republic has been replaced with a bankrupt democracy, I really see secession as the only way out.
It's ironic, we created the Union in no small part to end the State regimes of money printing, and we'll have to leave the Union to have a chance to get back to sound money.
"Paper money has had the effect in your State that it ever will have, to ruin commerce--oppress the honest, and open a door to every species of fraud and injustice." - George Washington to Jabez Bowen, 9 January 1787
The National Defense Authorization Act declared the USA a “battlefield” and gave the President the power to authorize the military to detain American Citizens with
out charge or trial.
The National Defense Resources Preparedness act is sort of a “peacetime martial law”. Obama now has authority over all domestic energy, production, transportation, food and water.
It's reminiscent of Hitler's play book.
The Soviet steps for internal subversion of the USA were read into the Congressional Record in the 50’s IIRC, most if not all have been achieved.
Destabilization through currency collapse or civil/race war would be the next step and OK for the New World Order bunch. It didn't work in the 60’s, because there were still too many people believing in the American system, and the strong institutions such as the Churches.
La Raza and other Radical groups make no secret that they intend to establish ATZLAN. This type of thing has happened before - people cross into a country illegally, reach critical mass, take over the government or demand independence. It is the logical result of open borders.
I feel a bit shell shocked, because I really no longer recognize the country I grew up in. The state and area I live in is rural, so that seems familiar, but on a national level - it's like nothing I have ever experienced.
If these Marxist types follow the usual play book, the leftist accomplices/useful idiots are among the first to be shot, so I guess they'll deserve what they get.
I would no longer laugh at the possible break up of the USA. It is more possible now than at any time in my life.
