			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank all of you for your thoughtful and, for the most part, well written comments about my article on the disintegration of the United States. I would like to respond briefly, and since I am “the author” I can do so as a blog.</p>
<p> I recommend that you read Joe Garreau’s book, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0380578859?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=americanhorg-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=0380578859">The Nine Nations of North America</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=americanhorg-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0380578859" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, or Robert Kaplan’s book, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0679776877?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=americanhorg-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=0679776877">An Empire Wilderness: Travels into America&#8217;s Future</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=americanhorg-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0679776877" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.  An underlying and unstated thesis in both is that the United States is a land of contradictions comprised of quite diverse people, united by common interests, which resolves its differences relatively peacefully.  A delicate equilibrium. During the past two generations, as the system has aged and adapted to new and unforeseen conditions and circumstances, this equilibrium has become increasingly unstable and difficult to maintain.  I base this conclusion on my readings and extensive travels around the country over the past several years in connection with my employment. </p>
<p>I suspect that the origins of this increasing instability lie in the country’s engagement in the world following the Second World War. As long as the United States remained aloof or at least disengaged, the people could pursue their unique democratic experiment.  Now the country, or at least the “Intellectual Class”, feels the need to conform to international norms and standards, all under the rubric of “globalization”. This attempt to play world leader and model to emulate has placed an unbearable burden upon the people’s shoulders.  As a result they are no longer residents of the shining city on the hill (the New Jerusalem) but clueless dim bulbs in a suburb filled with foreclosure signs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to Russian political analyst, Igor Pananin, civil war will break out in the United States of America in 2010 resulting in the country’s disintegration. He forecasts that America will break into six pieces, and that each will come under the influence, if not outright control, of another country. An article outlining this startling argument appeared in the December 29, 2008 Wall Street Journal. Is there any credence to this seemingly outlandish claim? Sadly or happily (depending on one’s viewpoint) Professor Pananin is more or less on target.</p>
<p>The result of the collapse will not be as neat as Professor Pananin suggests but the thrust of his argument is correct. And while a full blown civil war may not breakout in 2010, the United States most likely will have descended into chaos and anarchy before 2013, sucking the other two North American countries into a political black hole along with it. In short, those who voted for Barak Obama and the Democrats because they wanted change are about to get a belly full of it as the United States of America follows the other great 19th century empires into the ash can of history.</p>
<p>The breakup of the three North American countries will be surprisingly peaceful, but there will be exceptions, with areas of extraordinary violence and “ethnic cleansing” in Mexico and California, especially in Los Angeles County. But in the end, nine to twelve autonomous countries will emerge with borders roughly paralleling those found in the maps of the expanding United States we remember from our high school history class. The origins of post Civil War America’s breakup in the early 21st century are complex; but, by the seemingly unified and peaceful 1950’s, American political tectonic plates were on the move, and in 1964 produced a devastating political earthquake, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (it would not take effect until 1965) that would begin to tear the country, indeed the entire continent, apart. Manifold tremors would follow, virtually shaking the United States to pieces, and in 2008 the Democrats would nominate, and the American people would elect a black man president, a clear and unmistakable statement that the old order had come to an end.</p>
<p>All this does not mean that the Democrats and those who voted for Mr. Obama are somehow unpatriotic, or look forward to the disintegration and demise of the United States; far from it. If anything they are idealistic super patriots who intend to build upon the rubble of the old America a better more decent country than the one that preceded it. Alas, despite their boundless optimism and fundamental decency, they will fail because the damage has been done, the old consensus has disappeared, the forces of disintegration are far too advanced, and the economic and social centrifugal forces are too powerful; and so, Barak Obama, despite heroic efforts to save and redeem the country, will be the last president of the United States of America.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People often believe that December 25 marks the end of Christmas while, in fact, it’s just the beginning. What many people regard as Christmas is really the month long season of Advent (the Beginning) which looks forward to Christmas and the start of another liturgical year. Christmas begins on December 25 and ends on January 5, hence the twelve days of Christmas. So I thought early this morning, while the rest of the family is still asleep, might be a good time to look at Christmas from a religious perspective rather than a consumer one.</p>
<p>	Complaints about Christmas being overly commercialized go all the way back to the era following the First World War. For example Santa Claus today is depicted as wearing a red and white suite with a black belt and black boots rather than the earlier green jacket and tan pants. Why? Because red, white and black are the Cocoa Cola colors. For years Cocoa Cola had a Christmas billboard campaign featuring Santa Claus drinking a Coke and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. And, of course, he was wearing a suite made from the company colors. During the thirties some grinches noted those were also the colors of Hitler’s Nazi party, and, I suppose, the “war on Christmas” was launched.</p>
<p>	Criticism of the commercialization of Christmas reached its zenith with the 1958 release of Stan Freberg’s “Green Chri$tma$”, a biting satire about the season built around the story of a greedy and obtuse advertising executive. Since then it’s been all down hill, and half a century later people can’t understand how all this religious stuff has managed to intrude into our national Happy Holiday spending spree. And maybe that’s not such a bad turn of events for those of us who just want to celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace, and hope the new year will be the year when there truly will be peace on earth and goodwill toward men. We have our HOLY DAY back. (How long will it take the Happy Holiday crowd to figure this out?  Remember Season’s Greetings?)</p>
<p>	All of us at these web sites wish you a Merry Christmas, and our Jewish readers a Happy Hanukkah, a holiday commemorating freedom from oppression and occupation by a brutal empire. Together these seasons remind us that we have much to be thankful for.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is an old saying about Quebec: Pity the poor French Canadians. They had a chance to build a country based on British politics, American technology, and French culture. Sadly, they ended up building a country based on French politics, British technology, and American culture. There is also an old saying about Mexico that easily can apply to Canada. Pity poor Mexico, so far from God, so close to the United States. Canada’s attempt since 1960 to become a real country, rather than just a place, clearly is ending in failure half a century later, and the consequences for the United States are growing more ominous by the day.</p>
<p> For starters, it looks as if the American people are about to elect as their president a man who is a Kenyan by birth, and who looks, talks, acts, and thinks like a Canadian. Not a comforting thought when one considers Canada is the Fannie Mae, Lehman Brothers, General Motors, and Bethlehem Steel of nations.  It’s little more than a bunch of losers who could have reached for the stars, and instead flew the business into the pavement face first. People criticize Barrack Obama for promising change while failing to be specific about what he means. To the contrary, his goal could not be clearer; he wants to turn the United States into Canada.</p>
<p>He is what nineteenth century British imperialists called a “brown skinned Englishman”; namely, a colonialist superbly suited to advance the interests of the British Empire and the class that ruled it. Today, the British colonial masters and their pathetic lackeys wear three button suits rather than resplendent uniforms, call themselves “neo conservatives”, and prattle on about the New American Century, as if they think no one recognizes it for what it is, the old British Empire with an American accent. And by the way, they are only too happy to let the Americans supply the muscle, and bleed the rivers of blood necessary to ensure the endeavor is a profitable going concern.</p>
<p>So if you want to know what the future holds for the United States under an Obama presidency and a Democratic congress you have but to look north to what was once a really nice place. It wasn’t a country, but a least it was nice. Now it’s just an increasingly violent, demoralized and beaten down satrapy. Keep your head down, and your mouth shut if you know what’s good for you. And above all, never disagree with the ruling class, just be a good peasant. It’s called the Canadian Way of Life.  And Mexico? It may not be nice, and it may only be a narco-gangster state ineptly governed by a corrupt oligarchy, but a least it’s a real country. God Save the Queen!     </p>
