Many Americans harbor an acute dislike for our new president, Donald John Trump.
Notwithstanding the emotional roller coaster that his rhetoric can impart, there is a more subtle undercurrent that pervades his actions. Not many of us pay attention to this because we are focused on his erstwhile inflammatory verbiage rather than the results.
Make no mistake that what we are taking part in is not an experiment, but is the ostensible and practical nature of the 2nd rebirth of the American Republic. His actions may very well lead to incivility (it already has) and fervent public disparity along ideological lines.
This is precisely the political environment and public sentiment in America in 1859. In 1860, when Abraham Lincoln, an avowed abolitionist, won the election seven southern states seceded from the Union (what we called the first American Republic).
In early 1861 four more southern states seceded and by April that year had established the Confederacy. On April 12, 1861, Confederate forces opened the theater of war by attacking Fort Sumter, in South Carolina.
The abiding belief that slavery was the engine driving the economic (agricultural) behemoth of the southern states, and the abolition of same from many northern states (called “free states”) whose economy was powered by industry and banking, was not the primary focus that led to war.
The primary impetus was the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act, which effectively canceled the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and would allow slavery to expand to all new territories and states west of the Mississippi and north of Missouri, which stoked national tensions over slavery and contributed to a series of armed conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas".
Slavery was the key issue that drove public sentiment at that time. The Missouri Compromise had effectively contained slavery within the southern states, with the addition of Missouri, but would expand no further. The Kansas-Nebraska Act nullified that promise and the people of the free states were livid.
Today the 2nd Republic is in its death throes. Slavery per se may not be the driving force behind ideological violence in the 21st century, but the expansionist mindset is exactly the same and is a main contributor to civil disobedience and societal disruption.
Everything we witness is a vestige of the 2nd American Republic. Lincoln's achievements have been sidelined by those whose actions are fully self-supporting and contribute to the accumulation of mass wealth by a very small group of people. To be exact, as of September, 2024, (according to Forbes) there are 813 billionaires in America, who control over $5 Trillion in assets.
Our new president is a billionaire as is his apparent sidekick, Elon Musk. Mr. Musk is THE richest person on planet Earth right now. These two Americans have taken it upon themselves to enshrine, facilitate and direct the birth of the 3rd American Republic.
They are only two of the world's 2781 billionaires. Most are here in the United States but China has 406 and India has 200, with the rest scattered across the globe. With this insight you begin to perceive how and why global markets act the way they do. The fourth turning, coinciding with the rebirth of the American Republic, will see the mass redistribution of that wealth as the old system has reached its zenith and is on the way out. The harbinger as always is rampant fraud, illegal activities by authorities who took an oath to protect the public welfare, disdain for established protocols and the psychopathological emergence of acts of perversion (especially sexual perversion).
This is what President Trump and DOGE enforcer Elon Musk are participating in. They have identified the root issues responsible for the death of the 2nd American Republic. They are actively engaging in destroying all of the policies put in place to kill the Republic.
This IS a war. The enemy now knows what is happening and is actively engaging in thwarting our President's will. This cannot continue. There will come a point in time when the enemy will resort to all out violence to protect their interests.
America is a divided nation. No nation can withstand such contentious, divisive attitudes as are currently prevalent. What that means is there will come a breaking point when civility completely disappears and ideologies will clash.
Let us be prepared. Let us pray that we can have the strength to overcome this trial and start fresh again, without evil having a hand in every aspect of our lives.
