Once People Doubt the Legitimacy of Our Government, It’s Over

Porter Stansberry, in the S & A Digest, warns that the turning point in America will come when the people realize that their government is corrupt and illegitimate. http://www.stansberryresearch.com/pub/digest/

That day is rapidly approaching.

…remember this: Our State, as powerful as it is, relies on an assumption that’s made collectively by millions of Americans.

We must believe the people we saw on TV [Tuesday night's State of the Union] are fundamentally good and honest people. We must never come to doubt the character of those people or the process they used to gain power.

If that happens, our State, even though it’s the most powerful in the world, could quickly collapse. It is nothing without the consent of the governed. And our consent depends entirely on its legitimacy.

I believe our government is in imminent danger of losing its legitimacy. Why?

Our federal government is bankrupt and threatening to bankrupt several generations of Americans. At some point – one that is rapidly approaching –Americans will repudiate these debts and the legitimacy of the government that incurred them.

Unaffordable foreign debts and the obvious perfidy of “quantitative easingâ€

[b]We must never come to doubt the character of those people or the process they used to gain power.


Too late.

That horse has escaped from the barn, greed and corruption is so grave that if you discontinued payments today for social security that money would disappear into the black hole that is government, this is the simply reason it will do no good to cut cost unless we control corruption.

Agree with Paul Revere: “The U.S. government is a fraud… [b]a criminal syndicate to support the elite…â€

Daily I see talking heads on the media discussing where and how to cut spending and as a conservative I believe in saving however unless corruption at the top is controlled then all is lost.

Lack of morals, values, standards, greed has so invaded our society those items must be discussed and considered as a starting point.

Just heard the other day that Bill O'reilly is contracted at around $500M(?) Not sure if that is true or even possible, but Rush was reported to earn on contract about $400M for 5 or 6 yrs?

Whatever the numbers are, Americans have embraced such nonsense and get what they deserve.

Should those numbers be anywhere near correct, it says a lot about our medias and the public's perception and expectations from their medias. After all, to pay such people such sums for opinionated garbles and to treat them as rallying points is absurd. How many investigative journalists could be put on the payroll to do real investigative work for the benefit of the public?

I have no problem with opinions, yet, opinions are like noses, everybody has one. Opinions that are generated on talking points provided by agenda driven dribble for mass consumption are only worth the efforts put iinto the original generation. Real journalism involves investigative efforts. How much of this do we see? How much news, or information is neglected or avoided, or hidden and replaced with agenda bits and pieces and then opined upon by such lofty spew holes with their dribble? Wheres the beef? The smoke and mirrors goes a long ways when concealment is needed for the corruption that is so pervasive in our government and business institutions.

Our medias have sold us a shoddy bill of goods.

Boycott Hollywood and throw your TV out the window, the future generations deserve more.
