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.

When Broken Governments Reassert Themselves

"The fact is that when a government collapses, especially when the government is providing all the things the US government does today, people want somebody to fix it; they want their goodies back.

"It’s well known that over 50% of the US population are net recipients of state largesse. And the degree of state support and involvement in the US today is far, far greater than it was in 1789 Revolutionary France, 1917 Revolutionary Russia or 1923 Revolutionary Germany. After a period of chaos, it’s always the people who are most political, who have the most rabid statist ideas, who get the public’s attention and rise to the top.

"It seems highly likely that the US will get a savior, someone full of bravado, who assures the booboisie that he can straighten things out – if he is given sufficient power. Perhaps it will be an arrogant windbag, perhaps some narcissistic general. The government won’t wither away; it will reassert itself."

-- Doug Casey

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?
