What shall we say of this?

Post by bignflnut »

Call it vindication?
Call it a profound sadness that these things have come to pass?
Call it a welcome to the underside of Naybob Tinfoil Bridge?
If you predict that governments’ response to the coronavirus outbreak will reveal not so hidden agendas of globalist power and domination (Why do you think they keep saying, “The world will never go back to the way it was”?), terminate the last vestiges of freedom, destroy the economy and financial markets, kill far more people than the virus itself, and set precedents for everything from enforced confinement to martial law to mandatory vaccinations to electronic money to compelled microchipped identification and surveillance whenever a group of experts makes scary projections about lethal microbes—which from now on will be almost always—you’re well on your way to being proved right on all counts.

If you’re going to get in the prediction game and your predictions reflect an expectation of the worst from governments, it’s best to realize what you’re up against. Every time you make a prediction you will be disparaged, mocked, or ignored, particularly by legions of government worshipers, regardless of how many of your previous predictions have been borne out. If you’re proven right, not one person who disparaged or mocked you will acknowledge you were right and apologize, nor will anyone ask you for an opinion or prediction in the future. In fact, you’ll be shunned.

An affliction that strikes 3.3 million in one week and 6.6 million the next puts coronavirus growth rates, even in the hardest hit countries, to shame. Those are the last two weeks’ US jobless claims, just shy of 10 million, clocking in with a week-to-week increase of 200 percent. According to the April 2 US coronavirus and jobless claims statistics, there were 40 people newly unemployed in just two weeks for each confirmed coronavirus case and 1645 newly unemployed for each coronavirus death (dividing 10 million, rounded up, by the April 2 figures for confirmed cases and deaths from worldometers.info), and on current relative growth rates both numbers will increase.

SNIP

Perhaps the most distressing aspect of this whole ordeal is that Americans have surrendered to panic and propaganda without a shot. Molon labe and They’ll take my gun when they pry it from my cold, lifeless fingers patriots—bumper-sticker freedom fighters—are cowering in place, living off their 3, 6, 12, 24, or 60 months of provisions, lest they encounter a germ. Neighbors are reporting on neighbors who leave their houses, take a walk, clear their throats, or other heretofore legal activities (they would still be legal if the Constitution had any remaining relevance). Apps have been developed to monitor and report people’s locations, coughs, sneezes, sniffles, and runny noses. Can one that monitors and reports social distances be far behind? If only one life is saved…

With a few noteworthy exceptions (lewrockwell.com takes the gold medal), the alternative media has been a disappointment. Bloggers who would normally cast darkly skeptical doubts if the government announced the sun will rise tomorrow have accepted official statistics, projections, propaganda, and draconian measures without a peep of skepticism or doubt. Prepper sites have perpetuated and profited from the panic, selling face masks, sanitizers, and reusable toilet paper. More alternative media sites are glomming on to what’s happening to civil liberties and the dark designs behind it, but their warnings are too little, too late.

Surrendered without a shot—they’ve got us by what’s left of our balls. The men and women who risked probabilities of death far higher than some small fraction of one percent and paid the ultimate price to defend our freedom and our lives are spinning in their hallowed graves.

Republicans Are Now Good For Exactly …….. Nothing!

So like deer caught in the headlights of public fear, outrage and hurt by the Covid Quarantines, they have blindly succumbed to bailing out one and all; and that, in turn, has opened the US Treasury to a congressional feeding frenzy that would make the New Deal porkers, the LBJ spenders and the Obama shovel-ready folks green with envy.

SNIP

Folks, once upon a time—even in the 1970’s when your editor arrived bright-eyed and bushy tailed on Capitol Hill—Republicans understood fundamental capitalist economics. They did not even have to be told there are no free lunches and that Uncle Sam cannot create production and income (i.e. wealth), but only shuffle it among citizens by taxation currently or by extracting it in the bye-and-bye from future taxpayers via piling up the public debt.

No more. Richard Nixon famously said we are all Keynesians now, and in the intervening decades supply side charlatans like Art Laffer, Stephen Moore, Steve Forbes and Larry Kudlow have layered on the “deficits don’t matter” mantra to justify tax cuts morning, noon and night regardless of the underlying fiscal condition.

So we now arrive at juncture in which the GOP pols in Washington (including most especially the Donald) have meekly and unthinkingly ceded authority to medical central planners and state and local Dem pols to shut down the US economy, while embracing the utterly ludicrous and circular proposition that since businesses didn’t cause the shutdowns, they should be held 100% harmless at taxpayer expense.

SNIP
Once upon a time, there were actually thoughtful conservatives among the GOP ranks who knew their economics and were listened to by the rank and file. Senator Robert Taft in the 1950s, Barry Goldwater in the 1960s, Bill Simon in the 1970s and Senators Pete Domenici and Alan Simpson in the 1980s and 1990s, among others, come to mind.

But today’s Republicans are simply beltway domiciled fund-raising robots, whose philosophy boils down to keeping themselves in office, whatever it takes. So in the face of a statist-instigated hysteria that virtually cries out for repudiation, they simply genuflect to the CNN body counts,
SNIP



As we said, when you have a GOP White House and Senate, exactly what good is it in the face of this unconscionable larceny?

This is how you get Biden out of the way and skip the debates...
Senate Republicansare set to release their long-awaited report on Joe and Hunter Biden's activities in Ukraine, and is expected to conclude that Hunter Biden's lucrative seat the board of Ukrainian energy giant Burisma impacted Obama-era Ukraine policy, which was led by Joe Biden at the time, according to The Hill.

It's somewhat concerning that the highest tiers of the progressive left are already having discussions about curating 'lists' of Trump supporters and conservatives who opposed them.

How many years have Republicans insisted that we NOT exercise our rights, but defer to them at the ballot box instead?
How many generations have been taught NOT to stand and fight when pressed upon unjustly, but give the reigns of power to these weak cowards?

Yes, these weak cowards, who now, after encouraging us to neuter and emaciate ourselves for generations, stand on the edge of annihilation, implore us once more to vote in Georgia...vote Trump so that we can break the fraud...but they won't stand and make the case effectively, because their own muscles have atrophied long ago. They've not fought in so many years that they have not organized and trained their minds in so long, that now, when they call upon the Constitution, they find nothing but deaf ears.


Soon, their impotence will be complete. They lead us to death, because they despise the Light.

LOL, just goes you can't trust Alexa for everything. The alleged source was the Orlando Sentinal. and the newspaper was NOT referring to the UK, but to Florida.

The report estimated Florida’s population at 21.574 million as of April 1, with growth expected to average 271,330 net new residents a year, or 743 a day, until April 1, 2025. At that point, the population would total 22.93 million.
