By pledging our lives and our fortunes! Same way our ancestors did it. The pilgrims depended solely on God. This is how. A revival and revolution!

In our beautiful experiment of freedom and liberty, we failed this time. We were lied to and heavily infiltrated until it took the military to save us. I think part of working in government will need to include giving up freedom of privacy. That will also keep government careers brief.

Every single thing that CAN be done without the corrupting influence and wasteful implementations of forcible government, SHOULD be done in the private sector.

Things that should NOT be done -- endless aggressive war comes to mind -- can only be done by (or with the collusion of) coercive government.

For example: Private sector regulation works better than government regulation (for examples, Underwriter Labs -- less so today, with much gov't involvement now -- and the National Fire Protection Association, both founded in the 1890s). With participation of and answerable to business, insurance companies, and the public, private regulation actually WORKS. Competition and other market forces prevent corruption (or keep it minimized), keep prices low, and ensure actual protection -- as opposed to government regulatory agencies, where prices and regulatory costs skyrocket, corruption is the ever-increasing norm, and human well-being is not always the primary guide stone.

So, what can NOT be done by the private sector that actually needs doing?

Given an educated and moral citizenry, the answer is NOTHING. Whatever NEEDS doing can be done, and done a whole lot better, by the private sector / free market.

The need for an moral citizenry is also true of Government, of course, as John Adams famously pointed out. Without that, NO society works well, no matter the arrangements.

It can't happen in a single leap, but reducing government to the minimum -- to ZERO in other words -- is the only goal that can prevent a repeat of the corruption, bloat, and tyranny that America now suffers.

The original plan for America's government was FREEDOM! That originally meant a central government so small that it DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE POWER TO TAX (Articles of Confederation, 1781-1789).

CLEARLY, THAT WASN'T ENOUGH. The federal government went from "tiny" to the largest, most costly TYRANNY the planet has ever seen -- in less than 250 years.

"That government is best, which governs not at all" ~ Henry David Thoreau

For an excellent overview of the topic, consider The Market for Liberty, an invigorating classic available free on the web.

For those who have never heard of the NFPA:

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Established in 1896, the NFPA is a non-profit organization that aims to prevent fires and protect people and property from fire-related hazards.

IMO…..The defeat of the cabal-deep state is imminent. Some are already building bunkers which will imprison them and their families because they won’t be able to walk the streets. They will ALL be publicly exposed world-wide. There will be no place on earth to hide except their bunkers. This alone will stop any wanna-be that thinks they can replace them. The brotherhood of mankind will rejoice and work together for peace on earth. All societies will flourish in their own cultures. The massive wealth of the evil doers will be confiscated and divided equally across the planet. Ordinary men and women will take the reigns as volunteers and eventually create the political processes for elections with the peoples’ input and agreement. Those who had their heads up their butts or buried in sand will wake up and realize they must be part of this new process. Information will be available to all via the internet and mainstream media companies will comply with absolute truth in reporting or they will be shut down by the newly empowered people. Sounds far-fetched but I can hope.

Apathy is what worries me the most. Nihilistic apathy. I only have 1 solution that seems workable and that is a common belief in God and moral standards. How do we get them from Nihilistic apathy to there? I wish I knew. 🙏🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢

I wholly support your thinking. Americans have to reconnect with our heritage of distrusting politicians who seek power for power's sake. We need to make it cool to be able to recite the evil names in government and their misdeeds. People have to be proud to distinguish between real criminals and victims of propaganda. We can stop trusting those who seek power so quickly, and instead learn their background.

I think these values take hold slowly, through interaction and osmosis among one's peer group. Hence, it really is a battle of words.

For instance, where do our opponents get their beliefs? There's the battleground.

A book could be written about all the challenges we'll face

1. Self government is impossible without self discipline. 2)Jer. 17:The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? 3)Gen. 8:20b... every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood 4)Rom. 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

17 And the way of peace have they not known:

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

For those elected,Service should be brief (terrm limits) and low paying. For government worker, no pensions. 401k’s only. Medical benefits inline with majority of private busness newest trends like Amazon, Home Depot and McDonalds. If it’s good enough for Amazon workers, its good enough for govrnment workers.
