A Perfect Storm Threatens America's Survival
By Frank Hawkins

It's said that just because you're paranoid, that doesn't mean someone isn't out to get you.  There have been constant serious threats to our country since our founding in 1776, starting with the British through the early 19th century and the Nazis, Imperial Japan, and nuclear-armed Soviets in the 20th century.  Those were primarily external threats.

Today, our civilization is in more danger than ever.  While there are still external challenges, the most serious threats are increasingly internal.  Individually, each is troubling but not necessarily fatal.  Blended together, like adding glycerol to concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids to form nitroglycerin, we have to ask, is America facing a Perfect Storm?

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and he carries his banners openly against the city. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victim, and he wears their face and their garments and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared. The traitor is the plague."                  


Cicero About 2500 years ago
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
- J. R. R. Tolkien

In my recall, we've been doomed since the 1950s. Bankruptcy is always around one corner and civil war around another.

The problems are real but despair is of no help.
