Americans work their lives away to find out that at the end of the line they possess nothing, not even their own bodies. The entire notion that the American Dream amounts to the opportunity to acquire possessions reveals the genuinely superficial creed average people are encouraged to embrace. While elected officials feign concern over "community issues," the reality has been that they have presided over the destruction of those values that make community possible. Of course, they have not been able to accomplish this task alone. Indeed, they have been joined by the whole host of institutions that all derive their sustenance from a consumer based economy that basically views human beings as numbers on a spreadsheet.

Children are told that the spirit of America is in competition, but we know that the early colonists were not competitive; they were communal and cooperative (although not with the legitimate owners of the land they colonized, the native Americans). There is a tremendous amount of confusion in the country because the institutions of the society (such as the schools and the media), have deliberately misrepresented their own history and origins. America is a property-owning culture and the institutions reward their supporters with property for their support. The fact that so many police are needed to protect this property should give the average person some cause for concern.

The biggest fear of the institutional infrastructure in America is that somehow, someday, the American people are going to wake up and realize that they are being duped. That they are paying for their homes three times before they are allowed to own them, (while the descendants of those first whites who stole vast quantities of land from the natives pay nothing.) That utilities that will shut off their water or power without notice for non-payment, had their entire infrastructures financed by the government with money raised through taxes. The entire debate about "welfare cheaters" is an effort by the institutions responsible for ransacking the public treasury, to focus the debate off of themselves and onto individuals who, because of their status, are unable to defend themselves.

While lip-service is given to community values, the average American is encouraged to covet his neighbor's possessions. This makes the individual susceptible to being manipulated, because if he or she wants something they are open to being compromised. The entire industrial lifestyle is heavily dependent upon appetites and tastes that are "man-made." Cigarettes and tobacco products are a genuine example of how the market economy works by creating a demand for a product that didn't exist prior to its creation as a commodity. The fact that cigarrettes, if used as intended, will result in death reveals the stark lack of ordinary morals in the business community, which is always the first to assume pretensions of moral superiority in any public debate.

The noble ideal of community is that people working and living together can overcome the adversity of life. This cannot take effect, however, when those running the community are using every opportunity they run across to enrich themselves at everyone else's expense. The way the economy is set up right now Americans are not invested in each other's successes, rather they have an interest in each other's failures. They see the financial failure of a neighbor as an opportunity to acquire his possessions for less than their market value, because of the desperate condition of the neighbor. Additionally, if this is ever pointed out to them, they will attempt to legitimize what most people would despise as ghoulish, with empty rhetoric about how everyone has to look out for number one. This is the main focus of the entire debate on welfare reform, which has characterized the people on welfare as lazy and irresponsible, largely to avoid any tendencies towards mercy or concern for the poor. The fact that the institutions spent generations nurturing the dependence of the lower classes out of fear of revolution, and that now they have to live with the consequences, is never mentioned.

It is clear from the escalating violence that something decisive has to be done, other than hiring more police and building more prisons. The whole police-state trend is symptomatic of the genuinely negative view held by the politicians and bureaucrats of the American government regarding the American people. If you listen to the average politician, or to the many bureaucrats running the school and prison systems, the average American does not refrain from committing crimes because he is a good person; rather he refrains from engaging in crimes because he fears being caught and imprisoned. Historic evidence has never supported the idea that prisons stop crime, and the insistence that prisons are the answer to all of society's problems is a sign of the moral bankruptcy of the institutions of American society.

America is in a real crisis. Yet daily news reports mix human interest fluff with the most tragic and abhorent crimes of the century, so that at the end of the television news broadcast the individual is lulled into a false sense of security. Great effort is made by the broadcast media to control the content of the news, while affecting the pretense that the news is an objective reporting of all those events that were newsworthy that day. Few people notice that stories three days old play over and over again about the policeman who saved a kitten, while reports having to do with the root causes of justice and random violence never see the light of day. There is a deliberate effort on the part of the broadcast media to avoid raising questions about the institutional arrangements in the society, largely because the media itself is private property that depends upon the institutions for its continuation. Americans also live under the delusion that they enjoy a right to "freedom of the press," which actually is a privilege of the media. What is conveniently ignored when issues of censorship and social control are raised, is that unlike newspapers and the print media, broadcasters are in fact licensed by the Federal Government, which feels free to use the threat of losing a lucrative broadcasting license to rein in the broadcast media. More to the point, however, is that a right to a free press is of no use to anyone who does not own one.

The evolution of the United States has pre-disposed it to accomodate business interests at the expense of the people, but what has made the people victims ultimately was not the actions of corporations, but the basic defeatism that has been encouraged among the American people. To undermine the basic instinct of human beings to unite in order to resist being exploited or manipulated, the American people have been influenced with ideas that raise fears in them about the people in their lives. Anyone who has paid attention to the overt message coming across from mass media sources would realize that it has been suggesting that families are dangerous to children, and parents are not "qualified" to educate their children. The "solution," of course, to this "problem" is an increase of the dependency of the individual on the appropriate agencies of the government, whose employees are allegedly "experts." Which further justifies the government's strong-arm efforts to collect taxes to pay for it.

The very notion that crime is random robs the issue of its roots in history. Crime has to do with breaking laws, and laws are supposed to be in place for the good of all. The only problem with this, as it applies to the United States, is that the political system has always been open to the rich and closed to the poor. Additionally, the traditional checks and balances that had worked for centuries were abandoned in favor of the scheme embraced in the Constitution of 1787, which effectively handed over control of the Federal Government to the upper class; a class that had openly participated in a succession of land-grabs that made it rich, and which gave it an interest in setting up a government that would uphold property rights, without looking back at the crimes committed before the government was founded by its own members.

It is important to understand that the crime that is going on today is directly related to the money-making schemes of the politicians and industrialists, who feel free to use the apparatus of the state to create the shortages that prop up the values of the market. The Federal Government has massive stockpiles of all kinds of resources, which the mere existence of sends shockwaves on Wall Street. Not so long ago the Government had to rid itself of cheese it paid the dairy industry to make, and so it gave it away to the poor; afterwards the bean-counters declared with absolute certainty that the free cheese given away to the dirt poor had an effect on the price of cheese! Anyone who would suggest that the American government should not allow Americans to die from starvation is automatically accused of being a Communist, and this by the so-called liberals!

The United States has a long history as a slave state that the institutions of modern America would prefer to forget, because that history involved one caste of Americans literally enslaving another class of Americans, and today media pundits are busy indoctrinating the masses with the idea that America is a "classless society." The media recoils in horror at racist slogans that infer that white people should resist the equality of non-white American citizens, but race solidarity was not a notion that was invented by crackpots; it served the Federal Government well, because the Federal Government was designed to enforce the distinctions of the castes.

Fortunately, there is enough of the ancient law surviving in tact to enable individuals to combine their efforts to overcome their basic poverty without incurring the debt of an average citizen, but in order to do this the individual has to become reconciled with the reality of the historic record, so that the individual will stop turning to agencies that are hell-bent on causing him harm. People who are willing to work and support themselves have the basic tools necessary to rise above the existing employment market, but the only way to do this is to have a real understanding of the forces shaping the employment market. Not that long ago the United States Government condoned the ownership and use of human beings as slaves for free labor. It in fact derived cash revenues from a tax it imposed on the slave trade, and it was responsible for a nation-wide police infrastructure that was primarily charged with the capture and return of fugitive slaves to their bondage. It should come as no surprise, then, that a government the principal purpose of which was to keep slaves from running away, should find a new duty setting up obstacles to workers attempting to obtain financial independence, in order to get off the labor tread-mill.

What kinds of obstacles, you might ask? First off, there are the taxes. If you believed the IRS Commissioner, you too would be certain that the failure of some waitress to report her tip income was the basis of the Federal Government's budget deficit. Never is it mentioned that the real cause of the Government's insolvency is not that it cannot collect enough money from the American people, but that the money that is being collected is being embezzled by politicians and bureaucrats, who use it to get what they really want, which is POWER. Common sense alone dictates that the annual take from the Federal Income tax is enormous, but like clockwork these funds disappear, and all the bureaucrats are busy generating the paperwork to make it look like it was spent on legitimate programs.

Another obstacle posed by the Federal Establishment is the grinding power of its bureaucracies, which know no shame, and which are relentless. Standing regulations alone are not enough to put the entire economy in a straight-jacket, so the bureaucrats have the power to make up new regulations on the fly, to meet their needs. Their needs, generally, are to be obeyed without question, and any challenge to the Federal Government can result in a criminal investigation, regardless of the standing of the individual in the community. The bureaucracies are portrayed as our protectors, but in the end, who will protect us from our protectors?

The crime wave of the 20th century is the product of two centuries of alienation, and ten centuries of slavery. Is anyone surprised that the sons and grandsons of slaves are indignant and angry at the way they and their ancestors have been treated? They have good reason to be angry, but when the uneducated masses turn to violence to accomplish social ends they only fall into the hands of the politicians, who don't feel obliged to pay for the mistakes of the past, and who use the occurence of violence as justification for the increase of the police state. Instead that righteous indignation should be channeled into productive efforts to establish a dialogue in the homeland, in order to lay the groundwork for a national truce. The Federal Government is in effect a remnant of the old days of slavery, left in place to protect the caste system, maintaining an uneasy peace based on unreconciled ethnic groups. This peace is broken every day in the horrific violence that takes place hourly, which the Federal Government is helpless to stop.

It is within our power as the people of the United States to stop the violence. To do so, however, we must stop waiting for, and relying on, the Federal Government. For 200 years the Federal Government has accentuated the differences among the human beings living in north America, and we cannot expect it to suddenly become the instrument of unity for the American people. Fortunately the political system does recognize the basic conventions of private property, and with the proper investment strategy the system can be turned on itself. All those police can be brought around to protect the property of the individual and the community, despite their best efforts to protect their corrupt cronies. Currently a person who borrows money will re-pay it based on an annual formula that, over a period of time, will double or triple the cost of his purchase. The terms of this agreement would seem to be based on law, but those laws are openly slanted to the advantage of the lender. The lenders, of course, are politically powerful institutions with their own agendas we call "banks," who are not only able to exploit their access to the political system to secure usurious rates, but who are also able to force the consumers into accepting unfair terms through the suppression of alternatives.

If the American people start to reach out to each other to create new bonds of community and nationhood with each other, then all sorts of possibilities and potentials will suddenly appear on the horizon. Possibilities like the creation of credit unions whereby the population pools its own money to give itself credit, at significantly better rates than those offered by the commercial banks, rates that won't triple our costs. Potentials like the reconstitution of the public utilities into non-profit corporations, so that they lose the incentive to hoard money obtained from the rate-payers to boost the value of their stock in the market. There is a place for capitalism and business, but then every civilized society has recognized that there is a place where commerce has no business, and that place is the community, where friendship and loyalty have no price. We must rise above the venality of a political system in which every participant is richly rewarded for his "service" with money and status. We must re-discover within ourselves the desire to commit ourselves as individuals to the service of the nation; to the renewal of America. If we do not do this then the venality will win out, and the balkanization of the United States will continue unimpeded.

The market mentality of the Congress has turned it into an auction of public property, which has systematically fragmented the American society. There are no institutions designed to combat this fragmentation, and so we see such things as the evolution of street and prison gangs, and fifty or more paramilitary resistance organizations loosely called "militias," that pose a genuine threat to the continued unity of the United States. The United States Government dismisses them as criminal conspiracies, but everyone knows that even the smallest group of malcontents can terrorize a population of millions with the smallest deeds. With enough disintegration at the center, these groups could eventually attain a higher level of organization, and possibly come into control of local areas on a de-facto strongman basis, a prospect that guarantees the end of the United States as we know it.

The only way to avoid the collapse of the United States is if we, the American people, become committed to saving it. This means that America has to be transformed from the master-and-servant police state into a genuine democratic community, wherein the human rights of all people are protected by law. Of course, there is no one with the power to "give" each American a stake in the country, it is for individuals to assert themselves and TAKE what is rightfully theirs, not through violence but through cooperation and mutual consent. This may seem impossible today, but today no one holding the keys to the prisons is talking about peace. The children of the slaves have no reason to believe that the political system will listen to their grievances.

If we truly love this country we must first of all love our countrymen, and with this guiding principle we can reconstitute the human family in north America. What is so sorely lacking in America is genuine unconditional community, which individuals are accepted into without question because they are human beings. This unconditional community that everyone is entitled to be accepted into is the community of the nation, and if we move to create this community -- solely through love and trust -- then we will be creating something of value that today does not exist. Should we seek a mythic perfect ideal? Should we be dissatisfied with the poor performance and outright betrayal of a political system that turns its back on us? Should we aspire to create a society in which Americans will be happy and safe? Today more Americans commit suicide every year than are murdered! If we do not take matters into our own hands the sad dissolution of our native land will continue, and none of us will have peace.

We, as Americans, must become resolved that the Peace is more important than the commerce of moneychangers in Congress. We must refuse the thirty pieces of silver that are meant to buy off our opposition, and we must stand firm for the integrity of the American people as a single people, a united people. To do this, to become actually united, we must discover our common interests, and we must familiarize ourselves with each other, so that Americans are no longer strangers to each other. This is something every single American can take part in, and in the process individuals can shed their sense of lonely isolation and alienation. Through decisive action the individual is able to become a force in his own life, instead of remain a victim of forces outside of his control. Furthermore, by dedicating himself to the renaissance of America, the rebirth of the nation, he is consciously deciding not to remain an outsider, but to enjoy the love and companionship available through solidarity with the human community.

Additionally, when Americans familiarize themselves with each other in order to deliberately create a communal space, putting a human face on the next door neighbor, it becomes impossible to commit a crime against people one identifies with. People who pull together and work together on a cooperative basis will come to view their common survival as a mutual interest. Through the long process of earning and accumulating trust, they create bonds that in effect make crime counter-productive. When two neighbors have a long-term mutually beneficial arrangement, stealing from your partner is like stealing from yourself. All the prisons on the Earth cannot replace the sense of enlightened self-interest necessary to defeat the crime wave that now threatens to bring America to its knees.

What enables a teenager to go into a convenience store and murder the clerk for $50.00 is a complete disregard for human life, and the only remedy is for the human community to rally around the young, in order to re-assure them that they have not been abandoned by the adult community. This gives the adult community a selfless purpose to dedicate itself to, to find fulfillment in. The community of the caste system is obsolete and inhumane. The job-related status individuals are pegged with (a so-called "career"), is based on the pretenses of ownership and materialism. No one is fulfilled or happy because they are in a constant race to stay up with the neighbors, which involves a constant increase in the burden of their debt, (a source of delight to the banker.) Instead of individuals being freed by the accumulation of things, they find that they are anchored all the more firmly to those things, which cannot love them back in return.

Love is not soft, love is intelligence applied to human life. Human beings require love to feel trust, and the only way business can be conducted on a shark-like basis is if the members of the human community never allow themselves to enjoy intimacy with one another. Lacking intimacy people are left alone, and it is the loners who always go over the line, to become sociopathic. Thus there is a genuine link between the values being taught in schools and institutions, and the dissolution of the American society: The more we teach people to look out for themselves, and disregard the humanity of everyone else, the more we are planting the seeds that grow into full-blown atrocities.

The only career of any consequence is the one by which the individual embarks upon becoming a decent human being. Decent human beings have a healthy interest in their own needs and wants, but they are not wholly self-absorbed. The glamorization of wealth involved in standard mass marketing procedures entices people to become self-indulgent, because only self-indulgent people will feel motivated to surrender themselves to an employer who reduces their humanity. Being humiliated in public is acceptable providing the compensation leads to new possessions; the fact that the basic needs of life are controlled by politically-connected cartels that bleed the average worker dry with prices that are fixed, is never focused on. Additionally, self-indulgent people will resent the needs of anyone other than themselves; they even resent the needs of their own children. The pressure this causes is so volatile that it expresses in all kinds of ways, spousal abuse, child abuse, burglary, robbery, assault, murder...

The key to changing this grave situation does not rest in changing laws, rather it rests in changing individuals. When attention is spent on theories and hypothesis instead of human relations, that attention is wasted. This doesn't mean that people have to give up their property or abandon their lifestyles, what it means is that they have to open their eyes to the rest of the world, and they have to grow up and stop expecting to be indulged every time they have a whim. The middle class has been raised with ideas and influences that have convinced the Baby Boomers that political freedom is the right to indulge themselves, which is the most obvious by the kinds of choices they make when they vote.

Modern mass society has been built on the character trait of coveting. If it were not for coveting, Madison Avenue would be out of business. Yet the kind of society this has created is not restful, and the generations are beginning to consume themselves. At a time when more people are alive and populating the Earth than at any other time in history, the epidemic of the advanced world is personal loneliness. This loneliness is taking place because millions of people have decided not to socialize with each other, and that can only happen because the influences in their lives are filling them with dread about what they might encounter if they venture out of their cocoons. People feel as if they are in ruts precisely because the institutions desire them to feel that way: That their options are limited, and they must comply.

The system of social control is highly psychological and the solution is also psychological, but it is also very practical: Individuals have to overcome their fears and venture out into their lives. It is important to understand that the isolated individual is a direct result of the collusion of the various institutions to bring about this condition, because the culture is shaped by it. It is not an accident of nature. The entire media industry is built on the isolation of individuals, who are the primary consumers of television news shows, dramas, mini-series, and sit-coms. After working hard all day to earn just enough to keep a shabby roof over his head, the isolated worker probably also likes to drink alcohol along with his television, to deaden the pain of the day's hard work, a character trait the entire alcoholic beverage industry is heavily dependent upon.

The fears that have been planted in us, of course, are based around some of the very worst crimes known to the human race. The mass media never shrinks from the causing of fear, feeling that it is better to raise alarm in people than allow them a chance of risk, no matter that individuals ultimately have to make their own risk-assessments, and media pundits are usually wrong. The average person forgets that the media is like a circus, and the more sensational a story is the more likely the audience will be large. There is also a wide latitude for "story-telling," which usually involves the fabrication of events to add dramatic tension to the storyline. This is vital to the current status of mass society, because it has been seriously misinformed about most of the issues that govern it, and the pressing urgency that seems to accompany the great issues of our day -- school vouchers, abortion, crime -- is largely due to pressure-groups that stand to profit monetarily from the fears they raise. (For example prison guards have their own lobby which operates behind the scenes planting articles in the news about prison over-crowding, and the releases of prisoners that went bad. The majority of early releases have no negative side-effects, all it takes is that one Willie Horton to terrify a nation, and stampede the masses into stupid public policies).

Judging from the history of the Federal Government, the bureaucratic approach to problem-solving involves planning another mass media advertising campaign. "Just Say No!" is supposed to be a substitute for a society in which the people care about each other. Every issue having to do with character is politicized because the Government has all of our money, and we are not allowed to act under our own volition. We are expected to seek permission to save ourselves, and we know that even if we do ask permission the answer will be no. We forget that in a status-oriented hierarchical society of masters and servants, that the masters worked long and hard to achieve their status, and they are reluctant to relinquish it.

The solution to America's crisis is not going to be found in sweeping programs that require billions of dollars and thousands of college educated bureaucrats to administer. It will be found in the human heart, and the ability of the individual to feel compassion. It will be found in the process of awakening that must be started today, about the cruelties we allow today under the premise that they are the natural outcome of divine law. Divine law is not cruel, and when divinity is attributed to something cruel it is a sign all of itself that it is not at all divine, but a human frailty being disguised and passed off as the inevitable will of God. Ultimately cruelty is something only human beings can experience, for even beasts in the wild, when they kill and eat their prey have no malice in their hearts.

We are born with nothing and when we die we die with nothing, and the illusion that material objects bring security in life removes the savor of time. How many individuals lose themselves in the cycles of their jobs, forgetting the dreams that gave their lives meaning? The old America is built on the surrender of these dreams, but the new America depends upon the pursuit of these dreams. The kernel upon which we build our lives is the selection of a career, but the real reason we choose careers is to acquire companionship: A spouse, friends, status. So in order to have the companionship of our fellow human beings, we surrender it. "After I am rich, I will have friends."

The truth is that the exact opposite is true. After you become rich you cannot trust your friends. Life becomes a shuttered existence, for having "made it," the main occupation that takes up the duration of your mortal existence is the protection of your wealth. Even relatives become suspects, and the equivalent of a reign of terror may destroy your family altogether. This is never focused on when documentaries spend hour after hour on guided tours of the mansions of Gilded Age dysfunctionals, who went to great lengths to make sure that the monuments they left behind made up for the ruination they caused their loved ones. While we can view a stately staircase, we cannot see a broken heart.

The most valuable asset in life is time, and once your time is up no amount of money in the world will be enough to buy it back. If we spend life lost in our minds, lost in the imagination, then we are cheating ourselves of the rich treasure life has to offer, because life offers us companionship naturally, if we are willing to participate. What we lack in America we must now provide, and what we lack is community. We can ease the tensions raised by the market economy if we want to, but we have to recognize that the creation of those tensions is part of the problem. Right now the iron-clad control of the society by the commercial class has enabled them to deny that the monetization of everything has led to any problems. Their attitude is that it is perfectly normal to pressure nine-year-old children into picking occupations that they will bear for the rest of their lives, and that the poor are merely lazy. They in fact point to themselves as role-models, denying the uniqueness of individuals, and inferring "If I can do it, so can they."

Ironically, even the feminist movement has found itself collared by its own designs, seeking the right of women to have "careers." While it is reprehensible for anyone to pay a woman less to do the same job of a man who is paid more, this does not change the fact that jobs in our modern industrial economy are governed by laws that not too long ago were called the master-and-servant laws. We live in a society in which the pursuit of a position in which the individual will be treated as a slave is seen as an opportunity! The nonsense that is involved in this convoluted way of thinking is wearing down the tolerance of the masses, who are reacting in ever more powerful waves of resistance. This resistance, of course, is not viewed as a noble effort by the ruling commercial class, rather it is the cause of great alarm, because under the fixed and rigged rules of the game, it is illegal to fight back. Under the principles of law, however, that have prevailed for thousands of years in all those nations that embrace the English system, it is the right of the people to defend their traditional liberties.

America has to transcend the work-oriented model for society, and rediscover the joy of life in a people- centered world. The last thing America needs right now is a civil war, but that seems to be the path the political parties are determined to take us down. The only alternative appears to be individuals using the powers they have at hand to make their own homes little islands of peace. When the individuals who have accomplished this come together and form new communities, these communities will be dominated by this peace, instead of the war of politics. This is a model for the future that is not evident in the political strategies that demand rivalry and conflict. This is a model that demands tolerance and diversity, and it stands to overwhelm the political model that holds out no solution for the American people. This may sound simplistic, but the reality was always that the solutions were not complex. The idea that only sophisticated, college-educated "experts" can understand the lofty problems of society has always been the Newspeak of the bureaucracy, bound and determined to hijack every iota of the business of the nation.

The only element missing from this grand vision of community is the infrastructure. Where shall this community take place? With the police state in place, we are subject to arrest even in public parks. In order to use public meeting halls we are expected to pay fees, and if we assemble in any numbers we are expected to apply for licenses! If we fail to comply with these rules we will probably be clubbed, maced and arrested, and then the state will spare no expense prosecuting us. The poor and homeless are up against this all the time, with no one to come to their aid when they have to sleep on the sidewalk outside of the People's Property, City Hall. In order to have a real community we have to dedicate genuine resources to it, or it will never materialize as anything other than a noble dream. We also cannot assume that "community" already exists because a few institutions like the Chamber of Commerce and the Red Cross ask us for donations, and tell us in their literature that they are community oriented. Institutions cannot substitute for our involvement in our own community.

The existing community infrastructure is being financed by the conventional 30 year mortgage, which has fixed current relationships to a one party per structure model. This has been the real foundation for individual isolation in terms of the social living of people. Of course, this is not about the property, and whether or not real estate should be bought or sold, rather it is a sociological condition with consequences. As the economic condition of the whole country has declined, people have had to double up increasingly, but the social model for the economic engine, the self-obsessed consumer, has caused a rise of friction as the human population was forced to increase its density. The solution is the traditional solution, the embrace of the community and the abandonment of the artificial consumer model that has always been a source of alienation and self-destruction for individuals.

The traditional community model is family centered, because human beings cannot show loyalty to ideas above other human beings. The family gives the system of loyalty a framework of seniority that is functional, while also linking the family with other families in the form of the nation. This is the greater family that individuals must identify with, if we are going to prevent the slaughter now taking place in the streets and the prisons of America. Through identifying with the national family, individuals are also able to begin the association between being an American, and being a human being on a planetary scale, so that for what may possibly be the first time in his life, the individual will learn to value human life itself, above all considerations of race or gender.

This whole process starts in the home, which is the native country of the individual. The home is in a house, but it can also be the home for many different people, people who share a house. This is vital, because in the American economic system today the idea of sharing a home has implications of poverty, poverty being the ultimate taboo untouchable status of the caste system. Therefore, those who are isolated and alone are of the highest status, while those people who have to share are of the lowest status. It infers that loneliness is rewarded with status, and that loneliness is the price we have to pay to achieve status.

Loneliness is the most widespread form of self-indulgence in the West, because it is self-inflicted. People do not have to live in isolation from each other. They can live any way that they can conceive, it is merely the limit of their vision that restrains them. Mortality closes in on all of us, yet we spend our lifetimes complaining and moaning about this slight and that, never recognizing that eternal sleep is not too far off for anyone. A lifetime of a hundred years when reduced by the measurement of time is only so many hours, which when spent are gone, never to be reclaimed as time mercilessly marches on. We are finite, and every moment is our moment, uniquely our own, which is all the more precious when we share it with others. We fail utterly to savor our lifetimes, to see the mountainside, the vistas, the beauty of creation. Who do we fail when we would rather bicker over television shows, instead of partake in the richness which is human life? Whose loss is it when a man learns to hate other people, without ever meeting them, or knowing them? We must rise above our smallest selves, and appreciate time we spend with each other as that which is special and unique.

We can take so much more out of our own lives, if we can stop feeling that we must approve everything that takes place. Our approval means nothing in the long run. It is only a footnote to history, which is a real exchange between people of all persuasions. In the end the pretense of control is false, for no one can control his lot as the Earth hurtles through space, as a monolithic capsule ever on the frontier of a new universe. Who controls this rock? Better that men and women and children all huddle together around the fire, and share the ancient stories that bind them together and give their lives meaning, than they argue and fight. If people make an effort, they can live together in peace and harmony. It is when they believe that their ideas are more important than the lives of their fellow human beings that we enter the lunatic world of power and control, that sacrifices children to the God of War.

If the family of the nation is to be realized, then every house must become a village. A village is a place where many families call home, which makes it a communal space. The home must regain its status as the place where people gather. Of course, when several families call the same house home, it reduces the costs tremendously, making it possible for all the individuals to survive with that much less financial pressure. Through cooperation and trust, and long-term relationships, people are able to reduce the burden of the costs, as well as enjoy a quality of life that is intrinsically satisfying because it is not isolated from human society. Again, this does not relate to the financial worth of any individual, it does not infer that every single person absolutely must live in a community against his will, it is only to suggest that by deliberately trying to enjoy the company of our contemporaries, we are enriching ourselves in ways that cannot be summarized in Government reports.

The American Regency Housing Program is the general housing proposal of the Nationalist movement, which is a general movement dedicated to accomplishing the noble dream of a genuine American nation. Although city governments enjoy referring to themselves as the community, in reality the city administrations, along with the county, state and federal bureaucracies are alien and sterile institutions with no roots in the community of the American people. The very process of elections guarantees that only commerce-oriented individuals will succeed in political life, and the system of governmental control guarantees that the only significant characters in local control are those who are elected to office. The general community is kept out of communal affairs, up to and including using force and imprisonment to accomplish these ends. Of course the real end product of all totalitarian political systems is a suppressed population, striving to break free.

Americans have to come to grips with the fact that they are not dealing with institutions that view them with any kindness. In the eye of the policeman EVERY citizen is a potential criminal. The very idea of criminality has been blown out of proportion, so that the evils of the past are being perpetuated through the civil codes, and the very act of self-defense by the innocent is now a crime. As homeless Americans die on the street, their "noble" government is building prisons, at a time when it has more prisoners than any other institution on the Earth! The United States has more of its own citizens in jail and prison than Communist China! Yet the angry sinister talk goes on, that if they could just imprison a few more people, then perhaps the crime wave will come to an end. Perhaps then the criminals will realize that their pursuit is useless, and they will give up their criminality. What Americans have to realize is that these so- called leaders are not the leaders of the American people. The President is not the leader of the American people, he is the chief tormentor of the American people: The chief investigator, the chief interrogator, the chief prosecutor, and the chief imprisoner. The President is the head of a people without a nation, for he is the chief obstacle to the various American ethnicities actually coming together and forming a genuine national union. A SOCIAL union based on common interests and common ideals.

The President cannot promote inter-racial harmony because the United States Presidency is based on the Washingtonian Model -- the Washingtonian Presidency -- which was based on a man who owned 390 black people, and who had no regard for their humanity. Every president has known that he was not obliged to give anything of substance to the black community on account of this origin, regardless of what any one of them has said as a result of political expediency. The White House itself, that beacon of justice and freedom around the world, was built with the labor of enslaved human beings, and was staffed for years with slaves. How can the officers of this republic actually represent themselves as the benefactors of the American people, when history proves otherwise?

A new model has evolved derivative of the most venerated customs, that aims to revive the community that was lost when the forefathers overthrew the ancient constitution of the Motherland. Through this new model we can create a genuinely united society in north America, which has never been done before. The myth is that we must go back in time to a united society; the reality is that back in time, America was a genuine caste-based society with slaves, servants and their owners. What we must do is go forward in time and devise the means for effecting a united society in the absence of any precedents. This is the real challenge of our times, one which is so damaging to the existing institutions that they have gone to great lengths to exclude any mention of it from the popular press.

The Regency is not a political party, and no one has to join it. It is the very beginnings of a mass stirring for legitimacy, for the restoration of institutions that have formed the foundation of lawfulness for ten thousand years. Through the Regency, the American people will restore lawfulness to their government, and validity to their laws. The integrity of the nation will be put ahead of the ambitions of the political parties, and the rule of law will finally become a system of justice instead of a scam against the common man. The Regency makes it possible for average people to dedicate themselves to the service of their nation, the homeland, through the dedication of the Regent to public service. In this way there is an immutable link between the people and the nation, that will be the basis of the national family for generations. Through this link the nation becomes eternal.

The Regency appeals to all Americans of all classes to search for common ground, to re-make America and give her hope. The politics of the republic are so corrupt that they are at a standstill. All the powers- that-be have the system in a stalemate. Thus to concentrate on political action is to lose touch with the real needs of the American people, who have gotten more desperate as the decades pass. What cries out to be done is the constitution of communities where today there is nothing but empty malls. What comes home to the earnest is the reality that the human population can save itself through cooperation, and save itself even while the political structure implodes. We forget that the victims of the crime wave are the beneficiaries of the corrupt political system, who are using the government to immorally enrich themselves, and that we must think for ourselves, and act with others of like-mind if we intend to preserve our traditional rights and our traditional society.

Living together is one of the primary acts of human life, and if we fail in this we are failing life itself. Certainly nerves get strained, and everyone needs rest and privacy; but the modern habit of accusing the human race for all the foibles of existence is nothing more than an escapist method for averting attention from our own complicity in creating the conditions that lead to our loneliness. We remove ourselves because of tender emotions, and we forget that our most grateful delights came from those moments we shared with other people. By losing one's own self in the moment, the group merges into a common identity, a common interest, and each individual willingly sacrifices himself to the whole out of pure love. This is so alien to modern Americans it should be causing them to wonder why this is so. When the English defend their Queen, it is out of pure love. They have no reason to defend her, they do so only because they love her.

The Regency is America's opportunity to re-discover this pure love in civic virtue. It is not indecent to love one's own country, one's own homeland; but when the Government embarrasses you to the extent that you don't want to be associated with it, then it becomes time to raise the issues of public virtue, and legal validity. The Regency Housing Program is a non-profit program that uses its authority and credit to buy housing, to make it available to the community. Through the aegis of the Mildred Rose Memorial Foundation, Inc., a non-profit public benefit charity, several Regency programs have been developed to provide long-term housing, and to enable community organizing to create alternatives to commercial banks, and alternatives to employment programs that suck up money, even if no one gets employed. The Community Business Consortium is a cooperative effort designed to use the non-profit status of the Foundation to make use of idle storefronts, by splitting the proceeds of the businesses in exchange for giving the members of the Consortium the opportunity to work. Through ingenuity and innovation, the Regency has been in the forefront of reconstructing America from the street up.

The Regency of the United States of America is the safety net for the American people, but in order to fulfill that role every loyal American must seek to be a safety net right there in his or her own community, for the other people who live there. This can be taken on many different levels, from being there emotionally for other people who are in distress, right up to and including being there for people who are physically in a state of emergency, because what it implies is being available to other people. As a community, we will discover that the amount of energy any single individual has to give over to the community is minimal at best, if the community as a whole continues its commitment to the community. But in order to effectively have the community attain significance to the majority of the people, it has to be freed from the corrupt grasp of the political system, which is always busy convincing the people to go home and leave everything in the hands of a bureaucracy of "experts."

Pure love must be the driving motivation of individuals, and pure love should be all that drives politicians. Pure love should be the cornerstone of our society, for only in pure love can anyone be safe. Sardonic wits may challenge this, and cynics may growl and comment, but in the end, who shall trust that person who it is proven has impure love, false love? While the wits deny the validity of love, let us never forget that there is no substitute for the loyalty of a true friend. And let us make friendship, above all, the basis of a new American nation, wherein all of us can stand to live together. Otherwise, all is for naught, and all we can say is what a pity.
