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.

How Do You Get a Small Nation Like Ukraine to Pick a Deadly Fight With a Giant Like Russia?

It will take a good fifteen-twenty years, but you simply trick the small nation. Overthrow their government. Propagandize their minds. Steal their elections. Bribe their media. Bribe the teachers. Bribe the musicians.
Bribe the military. Invest billions of dollars in a long-running color revolution.

As USAID documents will reveal, all this started in 2003 as the US State Department persuaded Ukraine they could poke the bear and expect Western backup "to the last man." Which means when it's all over, there will only be one Ukrainian male left alive. No one really thought about that because the slogans all sounded so inspiring.

"The campaign is an American creation, a sophisticated and brilliantly conceived exercise in Western branding and mass marketing," The Guardian's Ian Traynor wrote of the 2004 upheaval in November that year.

How Much Did the "Orange Revolution" Cost?

The US and its allies reportedly spent $65–$100 million over two years to support Viktor Yushchenko-led opposition, with much of the funding allegedly covert and funneled through NGOs.

The US State Department:
in FY2003 and FY2004 officially allocated $188.5 million and $143.47 million, respectively, for "assistance programs" in Ukraine
$54.7 million (FY2003) and $34.11 million (FY2004) went specifically to "democracy programs" in Ukraine on the eve of the 2004 election
"Democracy program" funds were used for electoral and government reform, independent media, political development, and training for administrators, lobbyists, and NGOs. The money was channeled through the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the Eurasia Foundation, National Endowment for Democracy (NED), US Embassy in Kiev, and others.

Picture a Tank Rolling Over a Chess Board

Many Republicans pride themselves on their chess-playing acumen. Dems write a tax increase bill, GOP players write one that doesn't increase taxes, and say, "We'll just checkmate these revolutionaries and WIN this one." Sometimes they do. But Since the Goldwater days, they've been whipped 90 percent of the time. So they study chess tactics harder.

In next three years, the Dems are rolling out an army of tanks. First mission: roll over every chess board and destroy them, leaving the elephants to wander around aimlessly, not knowing how to do politics.

How do we know this? Zoom calls over the last year. The Dems are done with chess.

Kunstler: "Democratic Party election ninja Marc Elias knocked himself out for two years registering new voters by the bale, as in manufacturing them. . . illegal aliens. . . homeless junkies. . . straight-up fictitious persons. . . in order to flood the zone with fake mail-in ballots, that is, in-your-face fraud. And the reason they did it was so ...

What Political Parties Used to Be

"No man is big enough to run this great Republic. There never has been one. Such domination was never intended. Tranquillity, stability, dependability—all are assured in party sponsorship. and we mean to renew the assurances which were rended in the cataclysmal war.”

Warren Harding, July 1920.

Angry Blue Voters or Something Else?

Could it be the architecture of a color revolution being erected? Who are the more serious political activists in the US? Do they just want votes, or something more?
