We, the Enlivened and Faithful Few...
It’s a strong, elegant masterful declaration in search of an austere and knowledgeable People. Unfortunately, only a few can claim to have ever read the document in full or to have ever even heard that such a document exists. After having been smuggled across the nation and nailed to the bronze Columbus doors of our Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., said document was blindly torn down by a groundskeeper and discarded without ceremony. However, a copy had been preserved on a discarded hard drive and we have posted it here - mostly complete - in tabs 1 thru 6 on the navigation menu. We must admit, it is no less than a reworking of modern American Greatness; a modern-day Preamble and Declaration of Impending Perfection, a document squared, centered and leveled on foundational enhancements to the four cornerstones of our Republic. The Stated Improvements prove necessary to each of the Three Branches of Our Government: Legislative, Executive and Judicial. And improvements prove equally necessary to the unspoken Fourth - our Electoral Process - which is, arguably, the most important of the four. Beyond this simplicity, any one of these cornerstones could serve as the necessary balance required for the whole Damn Plan of what surely is an American Monarchy to last a thousand years. Our Future King - James Ehrlichman Reinhard-Koenig the First - has proudly authored this document in full, wielding the Chaos of Common Sense as his only sword and the First Amendment as his only shield.
We beg consideration for the following quick premise: It’s too late for a 48.
We rail toward 2028 in search of such a number but alas, it is too late for such a nicety as yet another Elected Official. Another President just won’t do. Our White House, with but one wing clipped and leveled into the dust, is but a wounded bird of vicious nullitude, and no Ball Room, however fine, lovely and gilded, can bring our Nation back into its’ proper balance and so, too it was with the open border idiocy that came before. This is the fault of both Parties - the Ignorant Jackassery of the one, the Elephantine Greed of the other. And let’s give both Parties their proper due, each is a side in a hall of mirrors and vice-versa, too. Who but a King can correct such malfeasance? Who can bring to bear the required leadership to course correct?
We can think of only one man.
Our dear Crown Prince of Common Sense - The One, The Only - James Ehrlichman Reinhard-Koenig The First.
On this most auspicious day, we will respect your time and offer a simple update from our garden space inside the Fourth Estate.
We’ve recalled our reporters from Los Angeles and New York; so, too from Washington, DC and Des Moines. And Rome, Berlin and Paris are now without our wordy shadow. Our offices in Cairo, Bangkok, and Istanbul are now empty. From Cape Town in the South to Nuuk in the North, we have abandoned all effort to make sense of a senseless world. It is a sheer madness of infinite riots and endless crime sprees, a world of Mostly Peaceful Arson and Careerist extremes. These things overwhelm Our Nation and Our World. Of course, we’d like to slip our Scoop Key into the Secret Lock of Horrors and showcase the stories deserving of a certain journalistic recompense - stories of graft, bribery, and fraud, of high crimes and misdemeanors of which, sad to say, not enough iotas of specific attention have been given. And even when attention is given, it seems only to give rise to the tide of the political class and no corrective measures are ever taken. However, the hard work entailed in gathering reliable sources, engaging in the research required to discover the narrative facts and explanatory motives will no longer spin the wheel of profit. And on that wheel, we find ourselves no more than a broken spoke, a bit of twisted steel, snapped in half to endure a feckless penury. However, this is no different a tale than any other to come down through the ages. It is a simple grind of time, infinite and unbiased, and no matter how much we wish to inform ourselves and the public at large that time has, indeed, run out, the hard truth is that time has merely run us over. Time is simply indifferent and quietly infinite and we are neither. We are the Impervious Past stuck in the Present and we are Overdue. And yet, still, we’ve made some strange empyrean deadline with time to spare. There’s yet a single story to tell as we hurdle toward our 250th year of American Independence and so, we must now plead a different path for our Nation’s future. We do hereby Demand American Monarchy Now! Our Crown Prince of Common Sense - James Ehrlichman Reinhard Koenig the First - must take his rightful place upon the American Throne. Yes, it’s a Big Story. And we’ll do our best to cover it but that being said, there’s just too much info out there anyhow, and as we all know, space on the internet is limited.
