THE CLANCY CASE AND THE CHURCHIANS

        Every so often, usually when the Political Class and their Corporate Overlords desperately need a distraction, the Legal Establishment, the Media Cartels, and a few cheap political ward-heelers get together and decide that we are due for another Trial of the Century. These spectacles are typically like the Super Bowl, election campaigns, and the latest Hollywood Blockbuster: all bigger, better---and most importantly of all---more profitable than the previous one. 

       One would assume during this month, that we'd be talking about the trial around the murder of slain activist Charlie Kirk, which has taken a year already with no resolution. The Elites apparently decided that there's already too much controversy over that case; and, if the recent FOIA Request by some social media personalities are accurate, it would appear that FBI Director Kash Patel is busy hunting down Internet trolls who are making fun of him. 

           In fairness to Kash Patel, however, we can't help but observe that his priorities are about the same as millions of other Americans who'd rather not think about minor issues like the disastrous wars in the Middle East and Ukraine; or the massive wealth-transfers and power-grabs being carried out by the Deep State; or the rapid and continual decline of both our physical and social infrastructure; etc. No: what has every American's attention riveted comes from Massachusetts. We speak, of course, of the Lindsay Clancy Case.

        The Clancy Case ended this week with a mistrial; which will allow the lawyers and media figures to milk the tragic murder of three children for more dollars and notoriety. The deliberate politicization and monetizing of this case has led to furious online discussions. There's even a split among the New Right on this issue. The Alpha Red Pilled Cult is highlighting the case to bolster their theories about inherent female depravity; while others have synced with the Whacko Left demanding that the case is a test case on the alleged epidemic of Post-Partum Depression. 

       Neither position should be surprising: we're not dealing with Conservatives here---we're talking about Left-Wing Reactionaries. The Alphas represent the Radical Feminist position, embracing the stereotypes of masculinity that the Feminists draw and claim them as a badge of honor. People who look up to characters like Andrew Tate and Elon Musk as role models aren't likely to have worldview premised on the sanctity of womanhood. At the other pole are mostly MAGA Churchian women of the sort who fought to overturn abortion bans after Roe vs. Wade was nullified. These women already can't fawn over the Trump Administration hard enough: applauding them even when they bomb schools abroad and drag kids away in chains to be deported to hellish Concentration Camps at home; so, obviously, the deaths of three innocent children won't bother them too much. 

       Let us suppose, however, that there really is an epidemic of Post-Partum Depression going on in America; and there really are millions of mothers so affected. How many end by murdering their children? Of course, interested news outlets catapult any such case to the headlines now that the issue sells; but even those rare cases illustrate that most mothers seem to be coping with the existing system without resorting to homicide.

        Another question that should be asked are about things like why the United States has fallen to 54th place globally in Infant Mortality Rates, which is near the bottom of developed nations. We might also inquire why we rank 65th globally in women who die in childbirth; also near the bottom of developed nations. Or we might ask why almost 1 in 7 American women of child-bearing age are clinically infertile? 

        But asking questions like these wouldn't serve the purposes of the interest-groups promoting the Clancy Case, and most of the so-called Christian Right doesn't seem too concerned about them either. That would also mean facing real problems that we as a Culture would have address; but most Americans prefer to trust the experts and put their own heads in the sand.
