Thank you, David Stockman, for this masterful overview.

Thank you so much for calling out the Uniparty and their tactics. The sooner people realize the Uniparty exists, the can easily see the bad place it is leading us to. Our two party system has failed us once again.

Wouldn’t it be great if this passage was inserted as a chapter in the history books. Unfortunately the current ones our kids read like much of the rest of academia is chock full of Mockingbird propaganda.

Right? I never thought that I would actually be GLAD that my youngest gives not two shits about school and has no intention of going to college. he's super smart, I wish he was well-read but he is appropriately cynical for a 17 yr old. there's hope...

My youngest dropped out of UNC when the plandemic hit. She’s very smart and and has no interest in being part of the mainstream indoctrination Institutes of “higher learning.”

She’s 23 now. She’s working and studying things she loves on her own. I want her to enjoy her life because we have no idea what is awaiting us at any moment. I feel for our youth growing up in such a dysfunctional society.

What they are teaching the universities is Marxism. I learned this a little too late.

Have you seen what PragerU is doing in the education arena?

You might want to introduce their content to your kids. I watch them on youtube, along with Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Amala Ekpunobi, Brett Cooper, Candace Wallace and occasionally I actually watch Dennis Prager himself.

I'm very happy to report that there IS some hope for the future.

Yes. I have seen some of their work. My daughters are adults and will not listen to me. Three are diehard Democrats because their father, my former husband is. I am not a Republican. I am Libertarian, put little faith in any governing party. Thank you, Matthew.

Excellent and masterfully written post, as Boris Petrov commented, plus quite the history lesson for me.

As soon as there is TRUTH concerning the actual 'Shadow Govt' centered in The City of London being the actual ENEMY/CRIMINAL AGAINST ALL LIFE ON THE PLANET and promises to remove the U.S. from the forever TREASON OF THE COUNCIL FOR FOREIGN RELATIONS among other Committee of 300 owned betrayers...THEN, people will begin to understand and trust once again.

Then, it would be wise to remove all REGULATIONS and CODES now hidden within all the budgets and agreements to remove power back to 'The People' and tweak The Constitution with 'Term Limits' for the Legislature, making lobbying illegal and all family members of Govt. employees and Representatives be disallowed from involvement with the Trading Markets.

If RFK ends this war on Russia in Ukraine and repurposes the military budget to rebuild a dilapidated America, he will not only win, but will become a historical figure on par with Abraham Lincoln. Make these issues the center of his campaign and there is no limit.

I sincerely hope he does this.

the geopolitical history lesson is very much appreciated! I can only hope that the optimism is grounded in reality. I will be sending this to as many MSM-consuming friends and family as I can.

2 days ago, my 91 yr old father commented about how the dastardly GOP is gonna shut down the government and cut off Medicare, etc. I guess that's the narrative that the legacy media is pushing. I tried to say that it was a game of chicken to stop funding the absurd & deadly Ukraine debacle. my mom stopped the conversation, which was okay since my nearly-deaf dad would just get needlessly wound up. the man literally doesn't know what day it is half the time (gee, remind you of a certain president, lol? in fact, my 17 yr old just commented that Biden is like 'having Papa for president'.)

at the beginning of the whole thing, I overheard my bff's husband (in his early 70's) make a fist-pumping comment about cheering on the bombing of Russian subs or something. at first, I could have sworn he was referring to some kind of sporting event. I then was horrified to realize he was talking about military aggression. it was indicative of what we have sunk to, in this country, regardless of having skin in the game or not. like its all one big video game to some people - bad guys/good guys & no concept of the real human carnage. no appreciation of geopolitical complexities. the scene in Orwell's '1984' keeps popping into my mind: "we have always been at war with Oceania".

Much food for thought in this essay. I look forward to Part 2 and will search out Mr. Stockman's updated version of Fortress America which he has "amplified at length elsewhere" but modestly does not cite to it here.

I must say, though, I was surprised to read that he prescribes "an unassailable nuclear deterrent" as part of the best plan for our security. I was so struck by it that I re-read JFK's Peace Speech to find a contrary quote and lo, I found this: "Today the expenditure of billions of dollars every year on weapons acquired for the purpose of making sure we never need to use them is essential to keeping the peace." And that is exactly what Mr. Stockman is saying here, for he qualifies the need for a nuclear arsenal with "in today's world." In other words, we've gone nowhere since 1963. Stuck in the same rut for 60 years with war after war, and now facing a wag-the-dog October surprise by the lunatic Democrats to seal the election with an outright NATO "defensive" attack on Russia, with flags waving from every car in America.

Nothing now is more pertinent that this passage from Daniel Ellsberg's The Doomsday Machine:

"Robert F. Kennedy’s Thirteen Days, based on his personal diaries and recollection, offered an account of the Cuban missile crisis that he drafted in the summer and fall of 1967. RFK’s murder in 1968 prevented him from rewriting and completing it prior to publication. At the end of the book, Theodore Sorensen, who edited the memoir, added this note:

"It was Senator Kennedy’s intention to add a discussion of the basic ethical question involved [in the crisis]: what, if any, circumstance or justification gives this government or any government the moral right to bring its people and possibly all people under the shadow of nuclear destruction?

"I know of no other occasion on which a former official, in or out of office, ever raised this particular question of moral right, whether in memos, internal discussions, or memoirs. But once posed in these terms, is it really so hard a question to answer?"

Now it falls to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to carry his father's torch. He is our last hope to reverse the coup of 1963 and end this madness. With God's help and ours.

So so grateful you spent the time to research and write your explanation and that I gave it time to read!! I will be rereading this again and again and forwarding it. Your share puts into context RFKs vision. 🙏

What an eye opener, a great history lesson (a truthful non politicized one!) and an unraveling of so many strands of little-known history leading to where we are. I am thankful for all of this information, but the article did run on a bit.

WOW! What a piece (love David Stockman's stuff, anyway). Printed all 15 pages of it for the "books". A copy goes to a dear friend here in the States from Severodonetsk whose terrorized mother was on the phone Feb 14, 2022 with choppers and artillery going off in the background before the Heroes came, begging "What to do?" I beseeched her to get to Russia, with God's Speed, if she can.

This is an excellent piece for anyone who wants to know what in Hell is going on in this country, nay, the World.

Maybe, just maybe, there's a glimmer of Hope for us all. Good stuff; can't wait for Part II.

I have long appreciated David Stockman's sanity on financial matters, but never knew of his political past before his service in the Reagan Administration. How interesting that he was on the Left, along with me and many others!

His heterodox past makes his insights now especially valuable. He clearly sees where Americans are coming from...

This has perplexed me: Why didn't the US object more strenuously to the splinter of Czechoslovakia, as they did to the possible upcoming splinter of Ukraine?

I wrote that as a joke, because I knew there was no reason for the US to object in 1993. But the current fight is so obvious that even a blind man can see with his own eyes what's going on.

Lots of blind men and women in our society who don’t see it, unfortunately!

Wow, this is such a fantastic article I want to read it a couple times. Term “Uniparty” really speaks to me. Rather than a line, it’s more like circle. Corruption on the right arrives at the same decision as the corruption on left because the same puppet master pulls their strings. Just like EuroMaidan happened under Obama but McCain and Graham stood on the stage and did the dirty. I think Trump won 2016 because of Assange, and the multiple WikiLeaks reveals. And he lost 2020 because he didn’t free him. Not because of voter impact but because WikiLeaks would have uncovered/ published/ thwarted the election fraud. Two considerations. 1) Assange. Trump has few weaknesses among his followers. Kennedy already wins the biggest (vaccines). He could capitalize on another Trump error by campaign promise: Free Assange. That’s the bullhorn announcement that Kennedy prevails as the greater anti establishment candidate, and that’s an arm wrestling match that will need to occur. Trump’s followers are very loyal and will not be pried. They must be earned. 2) Election fraud. It exists. What’s the plan? That’s why I go back to the Trump Kennedy Outsider ticket. Because nothing short of a full undisputed TKO will be enough to overcome the algorithms.

Finally, a note to the author and what he made me realize. Think onion, or planets orbiting the Sun where the Sun represents ultimate truth. We’re all on our own orbit away from the truth. It’s very easy when someone speaks to you in your orbit specific perspective to bring them around 180•, as the author did to me here, but very difficult (impossible) to cause someone to change their orbital path. So that’s what you do. Focus on bringing them around 180 rather than attempt to change their reality.

It’s hard to find a third strike, as far as, area where Trump succumbed to the establishment, but if I try, this would be it:

When Trump bombed this woman right out of the gate.

I also believe, Putin is the reason she and her family aren’t dead and who really saved Syria from becoming another Libya under Obama. Had Hillary been elected, she would have been laughing about killing the Assads too.

In fairness, I get it. Kennedy would face a similar situation with Ukraine. America is in the wrong and the aggressor but Americans are out there in the Pluto orbit with regard to reality, so how to navigate?

Do the pseudo bomb with warning for publicity then make amends? Is there a better way?

Praise to the author whomever you are. Where's the triple heart icon! I literally screamed what you wrote as I was reading. As a Bobby Jr. volunteer I'm still hoping he shall listen to Jon Rappoport's substack piece to get his ass on the RFK, Jr. bus currently touring states and LIVESTREAM his conversations with REAL PEOPLE. DEMONSTRATE WHAT YOU SHALL DO IN OFFICE NOW PLEASE. Talk about making Biden look more lame, if that is possible.

Good riddance to the Uniparty! Welcome Pro-American foreign policy!
