The Power Vacuum in the United States

Originally published on September 11, 2024 Imported from Substack

Did you enjoy the show last night?

I’m referring to the presidential debates. That’s all it was, a silly little primetime show. Scripted to ensure that nothing of substance emerged, all just empty platitudes and memetic warfare.

The sitting president is braindead, shitting his pants in the White House. The hated Vice President is running for office, having lost all past elections herself. VP Harris is running against Donald Trump, a reality TV clown who is hated by the media and the deep state only because he’s a little uncouth and a little hard for them to control.

There is a power vacuum in America. Not unlike what Bush triggered in Iraq when we destroyed Saddam Hussein’s government, leaving a playground for our own CIA-backed ISIS to go around harassing Iraqis, sending the country into protracted chaos.

I won’t be voting in November. I don’t have a dog in this fight. America used to be a republic, now it’s an oligarchy. The elections do not change things. You can swap between red and blue, but no matter what the corporate oligarchs control everything.

Instead, build up relations in your local community, serve your fellow neighbor, start conversations about real issues (food, water, housing, energy) which will never be discussed in earnest on a debate stage.

Build networks. Build strength. Be patient. Be calm. Soon enough, the power vacuum will be filled by regular, normal working people. We are entering a period where “Dual Power” is increasingly possible. Where if you build a strong and stable network, you can become a better and more reliable government than the fascistic corporatists in Washington D.C. … at that moment, the American People will recognize you as the new government. Just be patient and tend to the work.

We The People of the United States of America have nearly had enough.

God Save Our Republic!
