“Never let a good crisis go to waste.” That pithy and cynical quote is attributed to Winston Churchill, but Rahm Emmanuel resurrected it during the Obama administration by saying “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” Now, it has become a standing policy with the DNC. Absent a real crisis, Democrats and their liberal media lackeys will generate one. Ergo, we are constantly in a state of alarm, which is the perfect state of mind in the electorate for a government that wants to implement polices that would otherwise flatly rejected.
Three years ago no one would have believed that Americans would allow their government to tell them to stay home and not go to work, go to church, go to the hospital to see their dying relatives or friends, or even go fishing. However, the COVID threat was blown up into an existential threat to the world by power hungry politicians and bureaucrats. Once most Americans accepted that lie, there rest was easy. Unfortunately, the politicians and bureaucrats who wielded that power remain drunk on it, and they are busily creating new and more permanent disasters to ensure that we genuflect, kiss their rings of power, and follow their instructions no matter how useless or ill-considered those instructions may be.
Those words may seem overstated in this time of comparative peace when compared to the chaos, fear and uncertainty of the COVID epidemic in 2020 and 2021, but the crisis mentality is still being stoked on many fronts. The most obvious one is the war in Ukraine. The Biden administration and 90% of the media are spending 24/7 letting everyone know that “‘there is no more important priority of the American people” than ensuring that Ukraine has the money and resources to defeat Russia.
Of course, since that situation is a crisis, anyone who questions the amount of money being spent is unpatriotic and most likely a shill for Putin himself. Shut up, Russia sympathizer!! Ergo, we have committed at least $45 billion dollars to support Ukraine, and Biden has declared that he is willingly to do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia loses the war in Ukraine. SO, America has spent $45 billion dollars to help defend the territorial integrity of Ukraine, but the Democrat party refused to spend $9 billion for a border wall with Mexico because it would be too expensive. Apparently, Democrats think Ukraine is 5 times more important than America.
But that’s not all folks!! Based on what we are spending and the rhetoric being spewed by the Biden administration, one might conclude that the Ukraine war is our biggest crisis, but that would be totally erroneous. The biggest crisis far and away the dangerous changing of the global climate. The leadership (and I use that word very loosely) of the Pentagon has confirmed that it the “greatest threat” facing this country.
Using that as cover, Biden proposed $1.2 TRILLION barrel of pork spending last year, and is proposing more and more regulations that will cost American consumers and businesses hundreds of billions of dollars in added costs, all in the name of stopping something that is unstoppable by humankind. Global change is a reality, but it is NOT caused by human activity in any measurable or provable way. However, that does not stop Biden and his anti-American zealots from proposing banning gas stoves as a way to fight the unfightable foe. It is scary as it is asinine. The same witless fools who destroyed the world’s economy in 2020 are back with even more idiotic plans that will have the same or worse effects. It is literally insane, and yet, if one questions such abject stupidity one is plainly as unpatriotic as people who worry about spending $45 billion in Ukraine, and are undeniably an earth hating scoundrel. Shut up, killer heat wave sympathizer!
But wait, there’s more!! The world is also knocking on famine’s door! This is direct result of the Ukraine war and global climate change. If that seems unbelievable to you, well, science is obviously not your strong suit. EVERYBODY knows that climate change is causing food shortages and the Ukraine war just made it worse. EVERYBODY, got it?!!? We need to give billions of dollars to the UN so they can avert this looming catastrophe. If you oppose that, you are plainly unpatriotic and wait for it… a RACIST!!! Food shortages are concentrated in non-white countries, so anyone who opposes spending billions to help them is a racist, including non-white Americans. By the way, questioning spending billions of dollars to save non-white people, or even asking for an accounting of how the money is spent is unpatriotic and racist. Shut up, KKK sympathizer!! This is a crisis and they do not have the time or inclination to explain themselves to you or anyone else!!
Those three crises are big enough that they would fully justify suspending the Constitution and placing all Americans under marshal law. The only reason that has not happened is because Democrats are indulging the wayward child-like simpletons that make up the American electorate and hoping to let them vote themselves into perpetual servitude to the crusading defenders of the global climate, Ukraine, and the all the starving non-white people of the world. One wonders if the UN would feel the same urgency if white people were starving… No, no one wonders that, they know the UN would not care at all. However, left wing Americans do wonder how long the Democrats will allow Americans to keep all their freedom when so many crises are unfolding. Which brings up another crisis: mass shootings!! What are we going to do?
Of course, the Democrats have the solution, eliminate private ownership of guns! They want to, but that damn Constitution is standing in their way, so they are trying to do it by inches and feet. Libfools are chipping away at the right to bear arms at the federal, state and local levels, while they mount an incessant campaign to convince Americans that guns are the problem. It is not lenient prosecutors, anti-police politicians, violent video games and movies, the rise of one parent families, lousy public education, the abandonment of traditional Judeo-Christian values, the welfare state, rampant drug abuse and drug trafficking, or anything that is responsible.
The sole cause of “gun crime” and particularly mass shootings is that law-abiding Americans are allowed to own guns!!! If we outlaw guns, outlaws will not have guns. After all, we outlawed drugs and outlaws now have more drugs than ever. Obviously, the exact opposite would happen with guns because guns are not drugs, right!?!? One thing is certain, anyone who wants to keep their gun(s) is a right wing, homicidal nut job planning a mass shooting even as one reads this article!! (My massage therapist commented to me after the Uvalde shooting that anyone who owns an AR-15 is “mentally ill”. Fortunately, I had lost mine in a boating accident, so I was not mentally ill when she told me that.) Anyone who opposes gun confiscation is a misanthropic sociopath. Shut up, mass killer wannabe!!
The pattern is clear. Manufacture a crisis out of thin air; convince a majority the crisis is an existential threat; propose solutions that either increase government spending, curtail freedom, or directly give government more power. Attack anyone who opposes or questions the crisis or the proposed “solutions” as mindless whack jobs full of hate, hellbent on making sure the crisis gets worse. In his book “Dune”, Frank Herbert wrote “Fear is the mind killer.” The concept was that people gripped by fear can be persuaded to do almost anything because they stop thinking rationally. Based on the reaction of a large percentage of Americans these days, the “crisis du jour” campaign by globalist politicians and their left wing acolytes has killed a lot of minds and rational thought is disappearing in our public discourse.
Conspiracy theories are not a hobby of mine, but if one did not know better, one could certainly be convinced that using crises to take over countries is a master plan of the globalist elites. If it were true, that would be the biggest crisis of all, and an incredibly dangerous one.
