George Washington’s 1796 principled & prescient warning



In this episode, I take a lesson from history by looking at the man Washington in 1796 vs. the bureaucratic Washington of today and how history provides us guidance for 2024 and all future elections.

The discussion brings out the key ways to drive the narrative for this election cycle, speaks to the key policies that we need to be putting forth, buttresses the need to overhaul our National Security, and provides us the insights we need to ensure the resilience and security of our Republic.

Americans are often too myopic, short-sighted, and non-strategic in our thinking. This is a major flaw we must overcome if we are to ensure the resilience and security of our Republic not only for the next two hundred and fifty years but the next millennium. Our faults are amplified by an understandable but dangerous degree of selfishness in which we tend to satisfy our immediate short-term desires and needs while forgoing consideration of our longer-term needs and the inherent risks, benefits, and impacts of our choices.

As we enter this new year, a critically important election year, how and where can we look for guidance on whom to vote for, identify what the real issues are, or set our priorities on what needs to be addressed?

The answer is simple: we need only look to our past to define our future. But in doing so, we must also listen, learn, and apply the lessons from history lest we are doomed to repeat its failures. Our founding father and first President has the answers.

America’s Armageddon

  America’s Armageddon   Armageddon is defined as “the site or time of a final and conclusive battle between the forces of good and evil” [1] We are indeed in the midst of a centuries long battle between good and evil, it is primarily a cognitive war that is occurring both domestically and globally.   This ongoing battle, in current state, brings to the forefront the real possibility of America’s Armageddon – not decades from now, but next week, next month, or in the next year! Why do I believe this?   Let me start with a premise that we must continually assess, imagine, and project where we are heading as a society.   We must ask, if we have no long-term strategy, then who is guiding our country and to what end?   If we have no strategy, we defer to the strategy that our adversary’s layout. We defer to their vision of the future. We defer to their driving the agenda – as we can only react. And reacting being a defensive maneuver, is a losing proposition.   So continued assess

The Manchurian President

T he Manchurian President The way to crush the bourgeoisie [ the middle class] is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation [1] - Lenin   My opinion - As a former intelligence analyst and practitioner with over thirty-years of experience in national security across multiple executive departments, intelligence agencies, and defense organizations and services - is that President Biden is not only compromised but exemplifies the ultimate Manchurian President.  I also see him as a traitor to our nation – plain and simple. His actions and deeds, controlled by those we do not yet see, are purposefully destroying our democracy, our legal system, our freedoms, independence, and our republic.  I use Lenin’s quote – as it exemplifies the progressive left’s tactics, using today’s information-age technologies, in concert with our adversaries to destroy our nation, advance their vision of tyranny, ultimately to subjugate the people into pre-defined enclaves.  One encla

America’s Armageddon - Part II - Coming to America!

  America’s Armageddon Part II Coming to America!   With the evil we have seen in the attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israel – we must understand and consider the reality that the USA is in no better position to defend or defeat such asymmetrical attacks. The ongoing Cognitive War is real – it is global, and it is domestic. We have just witnessed how Hamas is implementing this war in a multi-faceted strategy with their allies in Iran, Russia, and China to create multiple dilemmas not only for Israel, but the USA and the world. We are likely on the precipice of our Armageddon as I wrote about back in April ’23 America’s Armageddon (theinformationequilibrium.blogspot.com) .   It is time to wake-up the silent majority, to prepare for worst case scenarios, as we have seen the abysmal failure of our national’s security apparatus to alert us to 9-11, to covid (aka China Flu), and now to this attack. It is obvious we cannot look to our federal elements to warn or preclude such a
