Yet More of the Sad Way We Are Now

Mexican drug cartels, Colombia drug cartels, Afghan drug cartels - these exist for one reason: to supply the American demand for drugs. And of course we know that Mexican government, army, and police are thoroughly corrupt. Maybe the solution is not wiping out cartels that will soon be replaced but moral improvement in the United States? Is that possible?


The government declared “War on Drugs” about 40 years ago. How has that worked out? We have engaged in a useless war against the suppliers. How about doing something about the demand side? Of course, that might require Christian input which the federal government cannot tolerate, preferring liberal therapeutic solutions that don’t work.


By the way, have you noticed lately how the “War on Terrorism” and the “War on Poverty” are going?


I find it a little interesting that the government and media emphasise Mexican drugs but pay little attention to something that is much more horrific - human trafficking. It is reported by some that tens of thousands of children have had their lives destroyed in this way. And I fear that a major cause of this also is demand by depraved Americans. Why no U.S. interest in rescuing these victims?


We are showing more and more the decadence of Roman decline. People rightfully question the reason for non-disclosure of the Epstein files. Our elites have long been free from facing any responsibility for their conduct. George W. Bush launched an illegal and greatly destructive war on the basis of deliberately concocted lies. When this came to be understood he was re-elected and shrugged it off with “So what.” Bush did more long lasting damage to America even than Biden.
Power fortified by lack of responsibility for consequences, which has been enjoyed for long now by Presidents, Congress, judges, bureaucrats including those who head the military, billionaire NGO masters. One of the major temptations for irresponsible power is breaking the strong taboo against pedophilia.


With Epstein and some earlier issues we have considerable reason to suspect that some of our rulers have been tempted into this abomination. Are we ever likely to find out and see justice done? There is reason to doubt.


Democracy? Thomas Massie, the wisest and bravest member of the U.S. House of Representatives, recently suggested cutting of aid to Israel. The next day three out-of-state billionaires supplied millions in funds to prevent his re-election. Something that the Founding Fathers and earlier Americans could not even imagine. Something would not even be thought of before WW II. Democracy?
