As a hostage, by definition, your liberty has been removed, or depending on the circumstances, at least diminished. The ever expanding US government, through taxes (intimidating IRS apparatus) and regulations, encroaches relentlessly into our lives. Touted by the chattering classes’ as progress, the taking of personal property rights and medaling in traditional group (Boy Scouts, marriage … etc) affairs has reached the threshold of totalitarianism.

Like the proverbial frog in the sauce pan, most citizens are distracted and placated by their comfortable standard of living. This scenario has been accurately depicted by numerous authors over two thousand years of history. There are examples of civilizations failing entirely under these vary circumstances. The unconscionable run-up in the national debt is a primary ingredient.

For those who are well off financially, and therefore have much social freedom, the affect is less severe. Those in the upper-class, those with the most power to affect change, are not likely to pursue real improvement. Those less educated, those in the lower-classes, have resolved themselves to the oppressive burden (by the “man”) of ever present government. The “Stockholm syndrome” has taken affect; some hostages are defending, even encouraging, their captures for increasing their bondage.

More at stake than the US as we know it, if that is not enough for you. Most hostages are not aware (quiz one on the street) of the unprecedented freedom and opportunity available in the US.  That fact contributes to the question of Western civilization’s survival. Not appreciating what you have reduces your anxiety about loosing it.

The US has been the engine for prosperity (a prerequisite for freedom) and liberty around the globe, since winning WWII for the “free world”. True to the founders’ vision, in the interim, President Ronald Reagan won WWIII. A healthy economy, including a vary large middle-class, and vigilance by those same middle-class patriots is necessary to preserve our Country as originally intended.

During the depression of the early 1930s many unemployed took refuge on family farms for basic necessaries. The drastic reduction, through to current times, of such agrarian life negates that opportunity. A macro-economic failure of that magnitude in modern time would result in a global catastrophe, beyond any historic proportion, a new “dark ages” in extreme.

The entire world would be subject to military conflict. Modern surveillance, communications, and the speed of force deployment would make a secrete operation (as in the movies) by the “good guys” impossible. Tyranny would be the norm world wide; the fascist “strong man” and slavery would rule. Countries currently with a dictatorial central government (i.e. Russia & China) will have a head-start in the fight for resources to supple their military.

The tipping point has arrived.

Construction Budget Management by Richard Lingensjo

is the blueprint to initiate the reduction in the size of government.

This book is not the sanitized bean-counter version, rather, the universal antidote for those perpetrating PC deception. My work has the caustic ingredient necessary to penetrate the bureaucracy.
