America at 250: Common Sense 2026

By William B. Scott | Substack

“These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have the consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: ’Tis dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to set a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”
—Thomas Paine, The American Crisis”, December 19, 1776

When Thomas Paine wrote those powerful words, the Revolutionary War was not going well. George Washington’s army had suffered defeats from September to Christmas Day 1776. “Morale was collapsing, and as enlistments expired, virtually everyone was choosing to go home. Without victory, the army would disintegrate.” (“To Try Men’s Souls – A Novel”)

Prior to crossing the ice-choked Delaware River the night of December 25, 1776, Washington ordered Paine’s The American Crisis pamphlet be read to his troops, before they crowded onto boats. Those words would keep a unit of loyal, ragged, cold, hungry soldiers marching through the dark, some barefoot, leaving blood on jagged ice that blanketed roads. In the early morning of December 26th, those few brave souls caught hired Hessian soldiers by surprise. Washington had his do-or-die victory, thanks to the courage of hardy men who refused to give up and submit to the yoke of a tyrant.

Ultimately, Washington and those gritty patriots would defeat an arrogant king and the most powerful military force in Europe. They bequeathed a new nation, a country committed to liberty and justice for all citizens.

As America marks its 250th Birthday, a new group of powerful tyrants threatens the constitutional republic that courageous Founders and patriot soldiers gave us.

Despite the unprecedented successes and liberties enjoyed by citizens of these United States of America, a venal cabal disdains national sovereignty and is bent on destroying the nation: Globalist Elites. These rapacious, perfumed princes and princesses are a wealthy, powerful minority that believes it is smarter than commoners and is destined to control others’ lives.

They and their Willing Accomplices—an ubiquitous Security State-Corporate cartel comprising government bureaucracies, academia, the entertainment industry, “news” media, international corporations, Big Tech and political parties—have literally shredded the sacred documents penned by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution.

In the name of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and “saving democracy,” modern Tories and storm troopers burrowed into the U.S. intelligence-military-corporate-political-media complex are dismantling every law and constitutional protection enjoyed by Americans for two-and-a-half centuries.

Within a four-year span, an arrogant Executive branch fostered an invasion of ~12 million illegal aliens across the nation’s borders; strangled a booming fossil-fuel industry that had given America energy independence; mandated Americans be jabbed with unproven, dangerous “vaccines”, and stormed the private home of a former President of the United States.

A codependent, power-hungry Congress dumped trillions of bogus dollars—all borrowed or simply created from nothing—into the U.S. economy, unleashing the worst inflation in four decades; conspired to create an army of 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service agents to harass innocents and destroy middle-American citizens’ lives; raised taxes across the board; openly strived to disarm every law-abiding American through draconian gun control measures, and systematically lied and misled voters at every turn.

The nation’s Founders would be stunned by how flagrantly these enemies-within have attacked “liberty and justice for all,” blatantly dividing citizens into artificial camps. In the name of preserving “democracy,” malevolent anti-Americans were dismembering a once-proud and -powerful country by employing Socialist, Marxist, Maoist, Communist and “Progressive” strategies and tactics that have a worldwide, unbroken record of abject failure throughout the history of mankind.

These depraved ideologies espouse equality and universal goodwill, but always devolve into tyranny—rulers versus subjects—accompanied by millions of innocents being murdered by State-sanctioned thugs.

Make no mistake, fellow Americans: There can be no compromise with Globalist Elites who are merely modern Bolsheviks. They hate the United States of America, the freedoms its citizens enjoy, and every man, woman and child not in their exclusive circles.

These malevolent, Godless creatures are devoid of humanitarian principles, and are committed to eliminating most of us “little people.” They derisively dismiss us as worthless “eaters,” who are consuming limited resources that only they deserve.

Hence, the Elites have horrific plans to reduce the global population to approximately 500 million beings (per an inscription on the late-Georgia Guidestones). Of those half-billion, how many would be allowed to survive in the Elites’ transformed America? How many would be reduced to mere serfs, their sole purpose being to serve the Chosen Ones, their diabolic Masters?
