A Personal
Perspective on Current Political Circumstances
There is a systemic constitutional
problem with the current USA that simply returning to the pre-1965 USA will not
solve.
The constitutional issue is whether the
USA is going to be a confederated nation or a Federal empire. Since the Federal
Constitution tacked on the Bill of Rights of the Anti-Federalists (who
supported a confederated nation), 1789 began but did not end the political
struggle. There has been this long struggle in American politics between these
2 different visions for the USA, such that the process of going from the former
to the latter has taken a long time.
Given the Federal constitution calls for a centralized Federal
Government, it was inevitable the Federal empire side would win, as it has.
So long as the Federal Government is
standing, there is little practical way for the USA to return to being a
confederated nation under the Articles of Confederation. (So I personally vote for conservative
Republicans in the meantime.) However, Anglo-Americans need to start preparing
the organizational structure for a replacement, because the US Federal
government is on very shaky ground now, just as the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia
were in the 1980s. Even a major mainstream hedge fund manager (Ray Dalio) states we are headed for a period of major political
turbulence like the 1930s: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/17/ray-dalio-says-the-world-is-in-a-great-sag-and-echoes-the-1930s.html
. The epicenter of that turbulence this
time will be the USA and not Germany.
State Committees of Correspondence which
can in turn send delegates to a restored Continental Congress would provide a
structured organization that is ready to replace the current Federal structure
once the current Federal Government falls. It mirrors what happened the first
go round in the USA. It is a decentralized avenue
towards a decentralized end: a confederated USA of Anglo-American patriot
States under the Articles of Confederation.
The
purpose of the Facebook group “Return
to the Articles of Confederation” is to encourage Anglo-American Patriots
in each of the States to join and help organize.
