by Russell D. LongcoreI am happy…but not for any reason you may think. Happiness depends upon your perspective and ultimate goals. Cause and effect issues here. If an unexpected event causes other events to happen that move you toward your ultimate goals, it’s good. More later.Mr. Obama will be with us for another four years. Deal with it.The Republican Party allowed Willard “Mitt” Romney to buy his way onto the Presidential ticket. And that is as it should be. As 20th Century humorist Will Rogers said:“We have the best politicians money can buy.”“The short memory of voters is what keeps our politicians in office.”“Be thankful we’re not getting all the government we’re paying for.”CONGRESS has made the rules whereby campaigns are run nowadays. Therefore, when smart guys figure out how to game the system, they should do it. Mitt is a smart guy.No one in America has fronted the ridiculous notion that Mitt was the best man that the Republicans could find to be the presidential candidate. He just outspent and outlasted the others. And his campaign staff, in league with the Republican National Committee, blackballed Ron Paul. No one in America has fronted the ridiculous notion that Americans rejected Mitt as president because they rejected his core beliefs. That is because nobody knows what Romney’s core beliefs are. He was the Chameleon Candidate. Reminded me of the 80s hit record “My Obsession” by Animotion. In the chorus, the singer sings, “who do you want me to be to make you sleep with me?” Mitt would be anything you needed to get elected. Remember he ran for Senate in 1994. He’s been doing anything he can to get elected to some office for 18 years. He got the governorship in 2002, only serving one term.The Republicans made a mildly compelling case that America should fire Mr. Obama. However, they did not make a compelling case that America should hire Mr. Romney.Think about the HUGE thing that Romney AVOIDED in his campaign…Obamacare. Had he solemnly vowed to abolish Obamacare as President, he probably would have won. Even though he invented Romneycare in Massachusetts, he could have made a convincing case that what works on a state level does not translate to 315 million people…especially when Washington runs it. Or, if his ego wasn’t so enormous, he could have repudiated it.Think about Mr. Obama’s own words about his “one-term” presidency. Mitt should have beat Barry about the head and shoulders with that for months. But nary a word was heard.Think about the debates. Romney pulled his punches over and over, refusing to go for the jugular on issues like the Benghazi Embassy deaths.But keep in mind that Romney is the guy that got beat by McCain who got beat by Obama in 2008. He got the Runner-up trophy in 2008. This year, he gets the Miss Congeniality tiara. Romney is only the best that the oligarchy could find to do their bidding. It is over for Mr. Romney and his quest for the White House.Apparently, he is not The One.The big joke is that The One doesn’t exist. Obama is not The One. He is merely The Current One.Both men are textbook Sociopaths.So, what are you going to do over the next four years? You may not be happy, but are you going to just bitch about it, or are you going to take control of your own life? Don’t you think that NOW is a good time to seriously consider secession?In military operations, there is a strategy known as the “OODA loop.” It is one of those famous military acronyms like AWOL, FUBAR and SNAFU (Google them). OODA is Observe, Orient, Decide and Act.Let us Observe:• The collapse of the American Dollar the American economy, and subsequently the collapse of the world economic system that is built upon the Dollar, will continue apace. But the pace might quicken. I do not think that Romney would have slowed it, even though he said he would. But it will certainly move ahead now.• Washington will continue to devour privacy and individual liberties a bite at a time. Or, now that Obama has nothing to lose, the bites might get bigger.• The Federal Reserve will continue with QEIII in their clueless desperation, intending to kick the can down the road just a little farther on the calendar.• The Eurozone will continue its slow-motion collapse.• Washington will continue to foment a shooting war in the Middle East.• China will continue to very quietly produce and buy gold now that they have the world’s largest gold reserves.• China will continue to very quietly go around the world and negotiate shrewd trade deals with other nations.• China, Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa will continue to work toward a new world reserve currency, with China’s money as lead dog.• China will continue to offer financing to those other nations in the renminbi, their currency. The other nations will gladly accept it.• When the American economy collapses, and hyperinflation rages, there will be widespread chaos and blood in the streets of most cities.Then comes Orient:Orientation usually is done based upon our cultural traditions and experiences… our preconceptions and world view. Orientation is the pair of glasses we wear and through which we see our world. Only this time, very little of our old world view will be true any more. Orientation will have been stood on its head. We must develop a new, functional world view seemingly overnight. Most will not be up to the task. Compare this to the Pentagon. They are still fighting the last big war. But warfare has gone into its Fourth Generation orientation. The days of carriers, battleships and submarines are past. They are stuck in the Third Generation.Secession serves as a perfect new world view…if you can call it “new.”Next is Decide:The best player in an OODA loop moves at a faster tempo than his adversaries, thereby getting into their OODA loop and f**king it up. It creates confusion and a perception of unpredictability about the best player. It also fits perfectly in the strategies proffered by Sun Tzu in the legendary book The Art of War.Once you see the inevitable progression of events that is going to happen, and come to realize that Secession is the only way to restore individual liberty and property rights to North America, a decision should be made whether or not to participate. Here is a thought…at some point, crossing the Mississippi River westbound may be a problem. You might want to do that before TSHTF. Thought 2: if you want to expatriate, you might want to do that before TSHTF.Finally, Action.Action involves testing what works and what doesn’t. Once you act, you begin the OODA loop all over again. Secession action might be moving your family to a secession-friendly state and getting involved in a secessionist group. Expatriation takes a little more planning.Think. Use your brain. Do not let anyone tell you how to think. Question ALL authority. Free Your Mind.Secession is the only hope for humanity. Who will be first?DumpDC. Six Letters That Will Change History.
