Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.

Is a Debt Ceiling Constitutional?

Constitutional Attorney Robert Barnes says "Yes."

"Subsection 4 of the 14th Amendment provides: “The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law…shall not be questioned.” This imposes three elements: first, it concerns “public debt”; second, that public debt must be “authorized by law”; and third, the only limitation is that it “not be questioned.” Of note, section 5 only gives one branch “power to enforce” this – Congress “by appropriate legislation.” At the outset, there is an argument that no role exists for any branch of government but Congress, as Congress alone is given the power to enforce. However, unsurprisingly, both the executive and judicial branch reject this limit on their own power, and claim the right to enforce it themselves, treating the provision as simply an authorization of legislation, and not a restriction on the other branches of government. As the historical context makes clear, this Amendment focused on future Confederates joining Congress and revoking the debt issued during the Civil War, or trying to require Union repayments of Confederate debt. The application of this provision to current times shows the expansive effect of its plain language."

Children Die for It Too

“Old men declare war. Young men die for it.”

Herbert Hoover, Chairman of the American Relief Administration mission to Europe and later post-revolutionary Russia after World War I, which fed millions of starving war survivors.

This Was Predicted Mathematically in the 1990s.

Few thought it possible. They were not paying attention. British school children are a fast-diminishing percentage of the population. Do the math for 2036 and what do you see?
