Using the corruption of the party system to advantage, some of those nations competing with the USA for world influence are working to dismantle the U.S. without a shot, and all around its centers and symbols of power. This is the real war against the USA as a distinct nation with something to offer the world.

If you destroy what a nation stands for with lots of help from venal partisans within it, you remove that competitor country without a fight. It falls within. Its missile silos, jets, carriers, tanks and troops sit impotent to defend against the fall that ensues with self-division.

This website is a good place to read and observe the partisan spirit at work. It is part of the partisan culture. It is a symptom.

Better than parties or bi-partisanship (de facto one party) would be no parties. We need a new pre-election structure to allow individual participation and issue education. The parties are an outdated anachronism that insist, no demand, to be central to the power process. Their lack of accountability bleeds into their candidates.

Worse, outside powers see the division and seize on it. They also see the maladies in our domestic life that result from the partisan corruption and divisiveness. The corruptions and divisiveness creates a gaping set of neglected problems to go along with the runaway national debt, and declining moral grounding.

While the US divides itself on party lines, the Russian Federation has large numbers of Youth Guard who recently stormed the Estonian Embassy in Moscow. There were assaults and a pig's head was thrown into the embassy. The EU intervened, claiming Estonia to be one of the EU.

When weeks ago some anti-Putin demonstrators attempted to demonstrate at the old Red Square, they were promptly arrested, removed in vans and let go later to officially permitted premises for protest.

Who do we think we are dealing with in the world? The great powers of the world, simply because they are not superpowers, are not without the means to undo the United States by other means, by proxy diversion, by confusing attacks and threats, and by elliptical ones.

Add the ordinary and daunting natural problems that arise: major hurricane events; broken levees; drug resistant diseases growing more prolific in the US; an aging and slowly reproducing educated labor population due to social engineering politics; a burgeoning unskilled labor population; and poor future insight, the US faces forces of disintegration if it will not adapt.

Parties, their media outlets, 527s et al who specialize in elaborate blaming logic toward each other, are going to be a major causal factor in the downfall of what the US stands for. Parties are non-Constitutional. They work to undo the Constitution to serve their self-righteous presumptions. The parties conduct themselves too often as bickering child siblings. Something about political parties brings back the exclusivist sibling pride and rivalry in the adults who pretend they're leading this country.

They're really good at pretending.
