   Is there anyone who believes America is on the verge of losing all her basic freedoms, and SOON?
   
     It is my personal conviction that the elitists who rule over all governments are on the brink of orchestrating and coordinating a world wide set of events (antithesis factors) that will result in great social, economic unrest, political upheavals, much as we see going on in Iran and India, as we speak.
      I believe our own President is participating in this plan and is answerable to the Parliamentary body who meets in Strassburg, France where they plan and 'weave their web' for all the world to be ensnared in.
      These people (the Illuminatti), I believe to be the Devil's Disciples!

   I am not sure on the concept of the Devil's Disciples nor even the paranoia concept you are stressing in the Illuminatti, but as for the question, that, I have some things on which to say.
   
   The American government was designed simply, but over time it has become complex and too complex governments do not last very long. 
   
   We have indeed lost the freedoms slowly in an encroaching manner, but that is largely due to the fact that all three branches revolve around the making and breaking of laws. It was fine for the first 100 years because there was still expansion and huge cultural reformations, but now what is there left to make laws on? 
   
   There are no more huge cultural reformations anymore as there is now a Global culture and, as for laws, well at some point there comes a time when there is nothing left to make laws on so they went naturally to the last refuge of true freedom, our basic freedoms.  Today I would say that there is no true freedom as every action and breath is regulated and all these complexities will be our country's downfall. 
   
   We are at the same point where Rome began collapsing and the fall was quite swift.  The military is sent to far abroad and is straining the economy.  The government is a swarm of corruption and out dated personalities.  The world is quite tired of our elitism and snobbery. 
   
   I had hoped, however faintly, that the change in Presidents would in fact broadcast Obama's message of Change, but well, too little too late comes to mind.  Even so Obama will not be able to do much as his inexperience is starting to show.  He had woefully underestimated the position he won.
   
   We are screwed America and it would take a lot of serious work and cultural change to save ourselves.

   I don't believe we get to see the bus that hits us.  What I mean is, if America is headed for harder times (antithesis factors?), I doubt we'll be able to predict most of them - except in the general sense.  I think that if we focus too much on secret meetings and plots to wreck the world we run the risk of forgetting to use our freedoms on a daily basis.
   That having been said, I'm an American.  No one takes my freedoms away unless I let them.  I'm not about to let them.  I do not believe the American way of life will die off and the empire will crumble, no matter how fashionable it seems to be to hope for it.
   As for our president, I didn't vote for him.  I don't support him. 
   From a religious perspective, I have to reword what I said earlier.  We cannot know the machinations nor the methods that will be employed against us as Christians.  We can only know that God trumps Big Brother, and the devil buys it in the final act.

   We've already lost many.  It doesn't take the "devil", just some people with a lust for power, and most people with the genes of sheep, seeking a shepherd.
   
   If you are looking for "god" to trump the devil, the Illuminati, Big Brother, whatever, and "save" you, you are one of the sheep

   Sadly, I believe the President may not be fully aware of the part he plays in this sick charade. A reality steeped in such deep falsehood will pull the meaning right out of the truth. We have been afforded many liberties by the blood of ordinary men who declared themselves defenders of freedom more than 200 years ago. Soon, we'll discover we're left to defend those ideals in our own era. I fear we'll find ourselves armed with only the empty shell casings we're handed as mementos of a day when American freedom was something to be proud of.
