According to the FBI I was an Anarchist before I even understood what it meant. Even in the military I was considered an incurable individualist. I never have known what is best for this country but it sure isn't government run by corrupt rapist and pedophiles.
I have been saying, we can't handle the truth. And I sense what you write about is more true than "the books" we learned from. I am afraid of the truth. But if I was to purchase one book of yours, what would you suggest? Maybe I need the bandaid ripped off.
I appreciate the kind words, KTonCapeCod. Probably would be best to start with "Hidden History," that's my first nonfiction and still by far my best-seller. But I think you'd find them all interesting. Thanks!
Our present emerged from a past present as well. Indeed think of this year by year since Independence created the first Neo-Colonial nation state. We make it up as we move down the river of time. Once Federalism obtained political power and leaders had a falling out as Adam's Federalist party lost the election to Jefferson's Democratic Republican party, Jefferson instructed Madison to deny some appointments that had not been served. This in turn set the stage for Federalist Justice Marshall to elevate the Supreme Court. https://fee.org/articles/the-great-decision-jefferson-adams-marshall-and-the-battle-for-the-supreme-court/
In a reenactment at the Morristown National Historical Park, Jefferson expressed disdain for “any form of government that is distant from the people it was meant to serve.”
Marshall defended a strong central government that “reflects the will of the people,” to better meet its needs.
Jefferson saw the states as constituting a fourth branch of government and wanted states’ rights to be preeminent.
Marshall emphasized the checks and balances provided by three branches and the constitutionality and, even, practicality, of a “united states” as one nation.
A weak nation, in Marshall’s view, tends toward corruption and can’t support and sustain its people. For the chief justice, the words “We, the people” had clear meaning and intention; it was not, he said, “We, the states.”
Jefferson and Marshall even disagreed on the interpretation of the nation’s motto: E Pluribus Unum. For Jefferson, the emphasis is on pluribus; for Marshall, it’s unum.
Good points, Stegiel. It was Marshall, however, who launched the first assault on the checks and balances, with his concept of Judicial Review. That gave the Judiciary more power than they were intended to have, and we see today how the courts have the upper hand over the other two branches. Thanks.
You forgot the founding myth of the American Empire post-WW II: the Holocaust. This historical episode has, at the very least, been exaggerated. Moreover, it has been and is continuously being used to justify almost every insanely illiberal "liberal" policy, both foreign and domestic, as well as to silence and punish all dissenters. The widespread lie that antisemitism is an urgent civilizational problem has led to atrocities and the utter emasculation of what was the West and, before that, Christendom. This is true perversion.

Marshall an arch-Federalist.
