More of the Sad Way We Are Now

​COVID. How many people, if any, have been saved from getting Covid by the enforced “vaccinations” and mask-wearing? It is impossible to know. How many people have caught Covid despite the “vaccinations”? We will not be allowed to know. How many Covid patients died because of mistaken treatments and government banning of known remedies? Can we know that? How many millions of people will have long-term health problems from injections of government poison?


Washington and Jefferson both solemnly warned of the dangerous destructiveness for Americans of involvement with foreign powers and their conflicts. Our Founders thought that our example might inspire other people in their quest for liberty and self-government. They could never have dreamed of an American state with the fatuous goal of “global democracy.”


The American Deep State now has a military presence in more than 100 foreign places. It is engaged in promoting “democracy” among foreign peoples---whether they want it or not. Curiously, for the U.S. “democracy” means having the leaders the U.S. selects rather than the ones they vote for. And it involves murdering innocent people halfway around the globe with drones and sending American women into danger. And heavily subsidising one side in two current foreign wars. And collaborating with corrupt foreign billionaires in “colour revolutions.”


In the present Middle East conflict we now have the two different sides demonstrating against each other on our soil. Nobody has noticed what this really signifies: the American population now has so many large foreign elements that they bring their conflicts to our streets.


At the same time, the silly bureaucrats (never been in harm’s way) who control the American military hold American history and all genuine American military tradition in contempt. They are trying to destroy it. The Confederacy and its noble traditions are its first target. But these people feel nothing for the heroic sacrifice of Americans in World War II. For them, such people are just “deplorables” used up in a good cause.


And aren’t you proud that among our absurdly too-numerous admirals is a transgender in high heels? Sadly, he does not make a very attractive woman. It would be interesting to see he/she/it commanding warships against the Chinese, Russians, or Persians.

He/She/Whatever, would not make an attractive ghoul on Halloween.

Well done.

An imperial capital fills up with foreign lobbies. First we had the Old China Lobby, then Nixon "opened up" China, and Kissinger Associates went in for the money. Then the whole Clinton administration functioned as a new China Lobby. Not to mention all the foreign "exile" leaders, usually tied to some Republican Senator, needing a handout, and a possible war.

As Garet Garrett said, the empire "becomes the prisoner of history."

Was it John Quincy Adams who rather rightly opined long ago that the United States "does not go in search of monsters to destroy?"

JQA. He may have said it, but the awful Yankee also promoted the idea of Americans (meaning New Englanders) as the chosen nation. Also wrote the imperialist Monroe doctrine and tried to arrange an international conference with all the Latin American countries, an idea shot down by the Southerners in Congress.

Indeed. If I am correct that JQA defended the Amistad unfortunates, he got them off so their leader Cinque was able to return to Africa to run a profitable slave trading operation.

An example of how Yankees try to pre-empt both sides of a question. Like Lincoln at Gettysburg claiming he was at one and the same time preserving the heritage of the Founders and making "a new birth of freedom." It is not hard to pull off a verbal swindle with the vast population of Yankee pseudo-intellectuals.
