America's Mandarins

Imperial China was run by bureaucratic scholars.  They studied and strived for credentials in order to climb the ladder of achievement in the Chinese bureaucracies.  Driven by Progressive policies, the United States has been moving steadily toward this model for some time now.  The result is a ponderous federal bureaucracy that is unanswerable to the People of the United States.   These policies are anathema to the founding principles of the Unites States.

The pendulum of change is beginning to swing back in reaction to this historical crime.  There is and will be much strife as the modern-day mandarins fight to keep the power they have taken.  Hopefully, we will avoid an all out civil war and economic ruin.

Below is an article that exemplifies these American mandarins and their mindset.

"I know you’re working on that book about the new socialism, and I think it will be timely. It seems to me that totalitarianism is not arriving in the U.S. via the stern face of Big Brother staring down from the screen. It’s coming from the college student who says we shouldn’t view a photo of pure, untrammeled joy. And the thing is that they can’t see that joy, not just because they’re puritans, but because they have no historical consciousness. They have no sense of what so many Americans sacrificed in the years leading up to that famous kiss because they never really learned it. I’m not a gung-ho America First guy—I’d be an expat in a second if I could get my wife on board—but the K-12 textbooks have gotten insane. They really do stress the failures of the country, the bad angle of every story, the endless aggressions-in-hindsight that form the modern wokescold.
Look, I get it: this country has done terrible things. We continue to do terrible things. But there are no pure good guys and pure bad guys. We are crazy if we don’t think for one second that the things we consider good and just today will be denounced as oppressive in 30 years. To say that we shouldn’t look at an image that shows the joy of having just defeated the f’ing Nazis is just insanity."
