THE DEATH OF AMERICA

What Happens When America Stops Breathing

I

t is time to know what can or will happen when America dies – Right now the building blocks are in place not to destroy America with bombs and violence, but with ideology!

America has been stable, reliable, prayerful, and evolving for almost 231 years; as this message comes to me, I can and should say what I believe to be the most destructive attempts to change America.

As a matter of fact, and upon reflection, I can recall when a science teacher told my class that "MATTER COULD NOT BE CREATED OR DESTROYED. That same science teacher provided my 8th grade class with a science pamphlet which targeted, and spoke to population issues that were believed to predict where America would be in future if the population in America continued to grow.

The science pamphlet was entitled ‘STANDING ROOM ONLY’. The suggestion, based on science, predicted that America would be destroyed by population growth because there would be standing room only in the world.

As I look back to 1960, and think about the science that was taught, I seemingly forgot the concept that matter cannot be created or destroyed; and for years after that realization came and went, I was afraid that the earth would somehow disappear because the weight of continued population growth would force the earth out of existence.

If you are at least 65 years old, you also remember how important teachers were to young students; don’t forget how impressable you were as a student in the 8th grade – For me, In 1958/59, teachers were kings and queens, so much so that 8th graders did not think for themselves, and they believed everything that teachers taught!

Going back in my memory, when I was in 8th grade, nothing changed in terms of believing in teachers, when students were informed that America would reach a point when there would be STANDING ROOM ONLY, STUDENTS BELIEVED IT! And to this day in 2023 I am no smarter about science - So the reader may ask why am I writing about an America that is dying if I am not a scientist?

The answer to the above question depends on the meaning of what the future means for a Dead America, or what will stop America from breathing! A Dead America is one that is corrupt, mistrust its leaders, removes GOD from all public platforms, and destroys the Family – A dead America allows stupidity to replace common sense, does not teach morals, values, and integrity, and believes that one
