SORRY ABOUT THE MIC POPPING IN THE BEGINNING. It gets a lot better after a minute.

A while back I was listening to Adam Green’s show, and Christopher Jon Bjernkins launched into his silliness about how Russia is still communist and trying to take over the west. Suffice it to say, that ended my viewing of that particular installment of Know More News (which I otherwise like viewing—and aside from Bjerkins’ harebrained red scare business, I otherwise enjoy listening to him as a guest commentator).

But Russia isn’t still communist. Furthermore, China is now communist in name only. Both of those nations did their great experiments with state-enforced atheistic Marxism, only to come out on the other end realizing you can’t fight God and you can’t regulate every aspect of your people’s economy.

In the same span, America had its great experiment with laissez-faire capitalism. What happened in 1913 is our nation’s richest man, John D. Rockefeller, decided “competition is a sin” and he would join hands with the Rothschilds, creating the Federal Reserve. This isn’t conspiracy, but a well documented event in Georgetown professor Carrol Quigley’s “Tragedy & Hope”—with Quigley himself actually being a believer in a “rule by elites” system.

So America got an unelected plutocracy that functions in perpetuity through its banking system, thereby becoming a constitutional democratic republic in name only.

At the same time as this was happening, America went through a cultural shift. “Individualism” became our nation’s de facto religion, ingraining itself into every aspect of our people’s thought and culture. The result is it is now politically impossible for us to unify around anything.

Granted, that makes any sort of centralized communism run out of DC impossible—but it also makes impossible any sort of brotherly love between Americans. The longer it continues, the closer we get to total anarchy, which is what you saw in the Mad Max movies.
