The Biggest Problem Americans Face - by Robert Ringer

6/30/26:

Ringer's article reads a lot like the book I wrote about before---it was about the Russian KGB. Those in the party get the goodies. Everybody else lives in poverty. That's what Ringer was writing about. That's what that book mentions often. It's a rotten system.  Ringer's son decided to become a "checka".  The checkists were a feared bunch of folks in the KGB.

The solution? Somehow you have to explain it to people in the way that Einstein once mentioned. Einstein says if you cannot explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.

Does anybody understand the problem? No, this way we're following isn't good enough. Because it isn't getting through to the folks who need to hear it. If people understand, they won't choose to suffer. If people understand, they can be persuaded to oppose the loss of their freedom. The Soviet Union collapsed along with that tyranny. The new evil empire in DC can also be collapsed, and a new tyranny does not have to rise in the place of the old.

But not if we don't understand the problem. Know your enemy and know yourself, sez Sun Tsu in the Art of War. One thing is the use of the enemies' premises. "Our" side does this all the friggin' time. As Reagan once said, it ain't about the right v the left. It is about freedom and tyranny.

Maybe a six year old can understand that. If you tie somebody up, they have no freedom. That's what communism does. It ties people up.

The Biggest Problem Americans Face - by Robert Ringer: The other day, one of my son’s friends, who was home from college for the summer, stopped in to say hello. We chatted briefly, and I asked him if he was still planning on becoming an entrepreneur/businessman after he graduated from school next spring. To my surprise, he said that because of the uncertainties in …

The biggest problem, says Ringer, is that there are too many on the GOP side that would go commie if that is what it took to be successful.    Remember what Little Jebbie said:  "we should learn from the Dems", he said.  If you are going to be a Dem, then join the bastards.  Otherwise, STFU.



The trouble as I see it, is that people will arm themselves, but do they know what that means?  It doesn't mean that if the Dems pass gun control, that you give them up.  It means as they said during the Texas Revolution "come and take it".



Also, get back to the land.  People are too dependent upon money.  Let the land feed you.  I wish I had come to this understanding at a much younger age.   Chasing money is what is killing this civilization.  They can always control you with money.
