SHATTERED TRUST AND THE COUP WE NEVER KNEW

      There have been a few articles going back and forth recently between the Official Media and the Controlled Opposition about the state of religion in America today. The latter of these has been publicizing a prayer-circle that took place during the NFL game where a player had fallen victim to the Loyalty Vaxx. The other side has been popping up with some surveys showing that regular attendance at religious services has suffered a sharp decline since the onset of the Scamdemic. 

     There is an explanation for this discrepancy, though not the ones that the MSM gives out. According to their theories, the isolation of the Scamdemic taught Americans to give more priority to personal spirituality than to the communal worship in church. To the Whacko Left Wing, working and believing together as a community is only bad when religious people do it. 

    I suspect that the actual reason for declining attendance is because of religious leaders' utter refusal to take a stand against Covidian restrictions: even to the point of remaining silent when churches were padlocked by armed stormtroopers, ministers thrown in jail; or when vicious Antifa/BLM goons were looting and desecrating churches. Likewise, there has been no calls from religious leaders to hold anyone accountable for these excesses since. 

    This Denialism, naturally, doesn't get restricted to the Left and supporters of the Junta. Our old friend, Victor Davis Hanson has penned yet another of his tedious jeremiads, which has gone viral across the Conservative Media for some inexplicable reason. While a fair percentage of what he complains about is factually correct, Hanson makes this astonishing conclusion: "We are beginning to wake up from a nightmare to a country we no longer recognize, and from a coup we never knew."

   Statements like these are infuriating, and to a large degree an insult to many of us. Nobody 'woke up' just yesterday to find our Republic had been hijacked overnight. I can remember Ronald Reagan warning us that our institutions and culture were under attack from organized elements. No sooner had Reagan left office than those elements sprang into action. The military, media, and universities were literally purged in the name of 'Political Correctness' and 'Diversity.' Careers and professions were destroyed. People were put on blacklists, unable again to find employment within the system. Political leaders and activists who took a stand were marginalized and many had their reputations smeared. I know. I was there. I was one of them. Where was Victor Davis Hanson? 

   Where were the likes of Hanson during the next two decades when the poison of 'wokeness' started spreading into the Legal System and throughout Corporate America? I'll tell you where he was: sitting out the 'coup' in safe, Koch-funded sinecures like Hillsdale College. He was spending the last three decades gaming the system, doing photo-ops with important people; going to country clubs, cocktail parties, and luxury cruises as his erstwhile colleagues were getting outsourced or cancelled. I don't recall him ever sticking his own neck out for what was right: 'I got mine, sux to be you' likely sums up his attitude towards his constituency in general.

     I have a difficult time expressing how deeply I despise 'Conservatives' like this. The only thing that many of us actually woke up to recently was seeing what a collection of frauds and poseurs most of 'Conservative' leadership really were. Men like this never really had any principles or beliefs that they were willing to stand for. The Conservative Cause was, and is, for them merely a set of selling-points---a marketing angle to hawk a political agenda. 

   Let's address some of VDH's points, so we can all gather an idea of what an out-of-touch poltroon he comes across as. He writes his article in series of questions, so we'll give him the answers.

  "Did Joe Biden issue an executive order allowing foreign nationals to walk across the border and reside in the United States as they pleased?" No, Barack Obama did in 2010---13 years ago.

  "Since when did money not have to be paid back? Who insisted that the more dollars the federal government printed, the more prosperity would follow? When did America embrace zero interest? Why do we believe $30 trillion in debt is no big deal?" Since Bush Jr. took a Budget Surplus and turned into a our first trillion dollar deficit and ordered the M3 Money Supply classified on 'national security grounds' in 2006---17 years ago.

  "When did clean-burning, cheap, and abundant natural gas become the equivalent to dirty coal? How did prized natural gas that had granted America’s wishes of energy self-sufficiency, reduced pollution, and inexpensive electricity become almost overnight a pariah fuel whose extraction was a war against nature? Which lawmakers, which laws, which votes of the people declared natural gas development and pipelines near criminal?" Since Bush Sr. signed on to UN Agenda 21 in 1992---31 years ago.

  "Was it not against federal law to swarm the homes of Supreme Court justices, to picket and to intimidate their households in efforts to affect their rulings?" Just out of curiosity: has the suspicious death of Justice Antonin Scalia ever been investigated? Too bad that he conveniently died right before the SCOTUS was about to vote on the legality of homo 'marriage' wasn't it? Scalia died in 2016---7 years ago.

  "Since when did Americans create a government Ministry of Truth? And on whose orders did the FBI contract private news organizations to censor stories it did not like and writers whom it feared?" Answer: when the Smith-Mundt Anti-Propaganda Act of 1948 was repealed in 2013---10 years ago.

  "How did we wake up one morning to new customs of impeaching a president over a phone call?"  Since the ridiculous publicity stunt of trying to impeach Bill Clinton over an extra-marital affair in 1998---25 years ago.

   "Was some state or federal law passed that allowed biological males to compete in female sports? Did Congress enact such a law? Did the Supreme Court guarantee that biological male students could shower in gym locker rooms with biological women? Were women ever asked to redefine the very sports they had championed?" This first started happening on a local level in 2014---9 years ago.

   "When did the government pass a law depriving Americans of their freedom during a pandemic?" When Bush Jr. signed the Continuity of Government Act into law; which specifically listed pandemics as one of the grounds for declaring extra-constitutional 'States of Emergency' in 2005---18 years ago.

   "Since when did the people decide that 70 percent of voters would not cast their ballots on Election Day? Was this revolutionary change the subject of a national debate, a heated congressional session, or the votes of dozens of state legislatures?" Oregon enacted the first such system in 1998---25 years ago.

   "When did the nation abruptly decide that theft is not a crime, assault not a felony? How can thieves walk out with bags of stolen goods, without the wrath of angry shoppers, much less fear of the law?" Roughly since 'Urban Renewal' became a policy roughly in the 1970s. Incidentally, they've been 'renewing' these communities ever since.

   "Was there ever a national debate about the terrified flight from Afghanistan?" Was there ever a debate about occupying Afghanistan for 20 years, or about the persecution of whistleblowers who exposed some of the crimes committed during that time? 

  "What happened to the once trusted FBI? Why almost overnight did its directors decide to mislead Congress, to deceive judges with concocted tales from fake dossiers and with doctored writs? Did Congress pass a law that our federal leaders in the FBI or CIA could lie with impunity under oath?" If VDH thinks that happened overnight, he apparently slept through the BCCI Scandal, the Waco Massacre, Ruby Ridge, and Chinagate---among other events from the 1990s.

   "Who redefined our military and with whose consent?" Bush Sr did when he announced that our military was in service to the NWO in 1990---33 years ago. That was followed up by the aforementioned military purges led by the Clinton Co-Presidency and Congressional Defense Committee Chair, Pat Schroeder.

    "Were Americans ever asked whether their universities could discriminate against their sons and daughters based on their race?" No; but it became official policy in an EEOC Directive in 1991---32 years ago.

     "How did it become physically dangerous to speak the truth on a campus? Whose idea was it to reboot racial segregation and bias as “theme houses,” “safe spaces,” and “diversity”?'" These Speech Codes and Diversity Enforcement began under Donna Shalala, Clinton's Commissar of Education around 1993---30 years ago. 

   So, the problems that Hanson suggests that we're all now waking up to have been going on for quite some time: the median of the examples he gives is 22 years. It hardly gives Conservatives much credibility to behave as though these are all problems that just came upon us a few weeks ago. To be fair, the people who really should be asking these questions are the Democrats. How did a Party that 50 years ago stood for families, workers, human rights, and promoted national self-sufficiency and self-defense turn into an authoritarian tool of special interests? 

   But the Left's problems aside, articles like Hanson's simply reinforce the growing perception that the American Right is a paper tiger which is rapidly losing any public confidence in its actual abilities to understand---let alone solve---the deep problems that our Republic is currently facing. It's beyond even the issue of the much-discussed leadership vacuum on the Right: there's not even an ideology that leaders could build on to begin with. 

   The major problem that the Right has is of course that these (and other issues) have been ongoing for an entire generation; and it's not exactly as though the Republicans can claim that it was all done despite their stalwart opposition.
