When has any elite class in a sociocultural hierarchy voluntarily surrendered power? Power acquisition can be accomplished either by joining the aristocracy, if possible, or violently overthrowing the established sociocultural matrix. The only distinction between a "hero" and an outlaw is the degree of success. The issue with the latter type of power transition as outlined above is the inevitable chaos inflicted upon humanity. That the blood of the political elite will be spilt in liters is not a tragedy, but the misery inflicted upon the common man, with little to no interest in the power games, is injustice.

I agree with your sentiment. To my knowledge, no elite class as a whole has ever voluntarily surrendered power, though individuals have stepped down to save their necks. It is fanciful to hope that might change, I know, but I believe a great deal of unrest and violence could be avoided if just a few people would step up, or down, as the case may be. I admit to wishing to spare the common man as much suffering as possible at the hands of the kleptocratic kakistocrats. While I don't harbor any illusions about the moral integrity of the "elite" class as a whole, I do hope (likely vainly) there is just one decent human being among them who could actually make a positive difference.

So well written...

I wonder if you've read "The American Jubilee- A National Nightmare is Closer than You Think", by Porter Stansberry? Porter is the founder of Stansberry Research, the largest independent financial newsletter businesses in the world.

He's been writing and discussing exactly your position and expects an uprising will force a debt clearing by our government.

I also subscribe to an incredible Editor's work at Palm Beach Research. They have over 370k subscribers. Teeka Tiwari recently wrote a short 82 page ebook called "The Coming Second Civil War". Although a completely different premise, he is deathly afraid of the coming collapse of the US dollar caused by far left radical states; 12 in all. They are changing state laws for the past year to allow them to gut the dollar as their nuclear option against losing their way since the election of Trump . I shouldn't say more, since it's part of my subscription. However, both lead to a conclusion that the US collapse is emanate. Scary stuff.

Debt, elite control, including their take over of the MSM and the radicalization of our country. The pot is simmering. The lid is about to blow...

I haven't read either of those works, but the jubilee concept is one that I am familiar with. The bankster cartel would be well advised to do exactly that, but instead it looks like they believe they can do a currency reset and introduce a new, likely cashless, fiat currency. I have read a few interesting speculative pieces about the bankster class using a cryptocurrency to sink the quantitative easing into as well, thus restoring the purchasing power of the dollar, but find that concept rather dubious. I will take a look at the texts you recommended, thanks for the tips!
