Chaos and The New Order

Order follows chaos...the reign of chaos is intended to deconstruct institutions and crate a state of anomie or normlessness. The masses suffer the blunt edge of chaos. The masses depend on stable institutions to protect them from the ravages of a competitive and capitalistic world constantly seeking to enrich itself at the expense of labor. The deliberate invocation of chaos is a brutal act of war and must be treated as such. Chaos unleashes potent primal forces that can only be satiated in violence..When violence threatens to rend the fabric of a community or society, the institution of order
becomes paramount. Order is instituted at the sacrifice of liberty.

The national and international forces that coalesce and consort around philosophy and ideology to increase or maintain power are constant and unrelenting. The American Democracy. through the power of core values of Freedom and Equality has been a beacon of hope and opportunity for the world. The grand design of Democracy is embedded in international organizations such as NATO and the United Nations. American involvement in these organizations is being challenged by forces that would constrict or remove involvement on the basis that it weakens America.

The current political leadership in America seems eager to engage with Russia at the sacrifice of core American values. The chaos we are experiencing in American politics has the definitive goal of shaping order in American society based on racial identity. The President targets “The American People” as the object and beneficiary of the policies he projects.

“The American People” is equivalent to the “Silent Majority” defined by Richard Nixon and recruited into the Republican base by Ronald Reagan.

President Trump seeks to broaden that base through the promotion of fear and anxiety in the populace. The “Mess” he inherited will require “fixing” by the same people who brought the American economic system to the brink of collapse a mere (8) years ago.

The beauty of a Democracy based on Majority Rule and Consent of the Governed is the accommodation of a broad range of political ideology. The electorate is the battleground for political ideology and to the victor goes the spoils. The Democratic party must shoulder the burden of preserving the core value of equality under the law for all persons regardless of race, creed, color or sexual orientation. The challenge is to invigorate the grassroots community through active participation in the political process. The process will require determination and persistence .
