America is Gone

America is Gone is an historical explanation of why the United States is no longer a Democratic Republic. Instead, we have become both a bureaucracy and an oligarchy, no longer being representative by elected officials. From the time of our founding, first in 1776 with the Declaration of Independence, then in 1787 with the writing of our Constitution, the nation has been an experiment in self-governing. Human nature has dictated that this new form of governing, giving the power to the people, not the governing body, would be tested again and again. With each test came first, a small nudge away from the basic idea, then, the nudges became pushes then hard shoves, until the system broke.
As the author starts with the historical establishment of each subject, for example, Education, or the Judiciary, the reader observes the progress of the downfall of each area of our lives. Each begins in such small increments, it is hardly noticed. And these incursions into our freedoms, given by our Constitution, have not even commented on, or if they were, no one has become alarmed enough to say STOP throughout our history. The power brokers within our government, both elected and bureaucratic, and most recently corporations, have used fear over and over to attain the positions of power they've wanted.
By 2001, with the 911 attacks, we allowed our government, because of fear, to take away nearly all of the few freedoms we still had when they passed the Patriot Act. The most insidious of the power hungry, who, by the way, made no secret of wanting to transform this country into a modern version of communism, used a new flu-like virus, brought to the world by the one country that is positioning itself to capture the rest of the world, Communist China. It is still not clear whether this was intentional. That is left for history to decide. But those power hungry individual managed to do the unthinkable. Using fear once again, they convinced the entire population to agree to give up all freedoms including their jobs and businesses, their church attendance, their visits with sick and dying elderly relatives, everything of any value, all in the name of saving lives. If people really care, they will dig into the facts and discover the numbers that reveal it has all been fabricated into a world-wide pandemic worse that anything the world has ever seen. Even the 1918 Spanish Flu was made a minor incident by these people, compared to what was happening with the
coronavirus 19. Check the numbers. You will find how false these accusations have been.
America is Gone does not leave the reader in a state of despair. There are solutions if we are willing to follow any of them. Things will, by necessity, change drastically from what we have known. The Untied States, as we have known it is gone. But those who love freedom and want their liberties back do have options at their disposal. But one must be warned. As the Jews learned in Germany in 1938, time is of the essence. We are falling very fast into an abyss that will be impossible to climb from if we do not act now.
