Well, there weren't a zillion homeless drug addicts pooping on the streets in big cities and stealing retailers blind; there were plenty of morally decent and Constitutionally aware people in local (and some in the state and federal) government; our borders were not being overrun with criminals and military-age males from nations that hate us -- and so on.
I do see your point -- corruption and evil in high places is nothing new and America was always infested with psychopaths and Satanists -- but having lived in the US during the 1950s and '60s (and continuing on to today) I can say that a free, prosperous, and largely moral and sane America was a lot less of an illusion than it is now. The imperfections of the second half of 20th century America were minor compared to what we have now.
This is a relative term. I suggest "proper morals" have only to do with respecting others individuals rights (not desires, but rights), not on the personal choices you make for your own way of living yours.
So... I don't really agree with this. There was just as much infringement of other's rights in the past as there is today. In fact most of them haven't changed a whit.
Constitutionally aware
The Constitution IS the Illusion. It is the greatest illusion there is. That you would suggest "Constitutional awareness" (in the positive sense) as being a "better" thing proves the problem from my perspective. People need to learn that the Construction is a fraud. THAT is the necessary Constitutional awareness. There are probably more people who understand that now than before (though still far too few), but I suggest that's a step in the right direction.
our borders were not being overrun with criminals
Meh, there was plenty of criminal activity happening between countries, most run by the C_A or the mafia (which are just different doors to the same organization). It's just more "in your face" now.

On the contrary, the illusion was more complete then. Now, it is in your face because it is crumbling. Back then, it was hidden. People believed they were "free." They weren't. They weren't even close. What they had were a thousand paths they could choose, every single one of those paths created and controlled by the same entity. A thousand contrived paths gives the illusion of freedom.
If you put a rat in a big enough cage and teach it to believe the walls are just a conspiracy theory, it believes it is free, and it will fight and kill for its slavemasters to protect that freedom.

I agree with you about the Constitution; I'm an Abolitionist as I've described in numerous comments here. But since we don't HAVE a fully civil society, and never have here in America, it is critically important to have members of the political class who are aware of, understand, and FOLLOW the restrictions of the Constitution: they are a critical bulwark against tyranny. Rules and laws mean nothing if they are not known and followed.
I don't know if you have read my response to this yet, but I gave the wrong link in my original response. Here is the correct link (also fixed in the original post).
I get what you are saying, and as a "stop gap" I kinda agree, but the Constitution is tyranny from it's inception, and suggesting we follow it helps to perpetuate the fraud. The Constitution is designed to set up a ruling class of people, and relegates the rest to slavery. It does this not just by actually doing that ("The Republic" was very restrictive, allowing only the upper crust men to participate by law, and ensuring only the Aristocrats would hold the highest office in practice), but more importantly, the Constitution makes explicit claims on the individuals jurisdiction. "Rules and Laws" are tyranny if they make claims on the individuals jurisdiction. That's basically the definition of tyranny. And our system is designed with that purpose in mind. Our very concept of law is designed to lead us to tyranny. "Law" as we understand the term was created by the Cabal. It is our concept of what "rule" and "Law" is, that is the root of their control system.
"Law" is more correctly called Law Magic, and they created it around the same time that they created Money Magic, for the same purpose; control.
Please see my argument here. It is unfortunately the end of a long discussion, so the full context is missing in just that one post, but to follow the whole thing would take a while, and I think that response is sufficiently self contained to make sense. At some point I will write the whole argument up formally, with all of the evidence on what "Law" really is, and how it is fundamentally and intentionally flawed.
The country you grew up in never existed. It was just a more complete illusion then.
