America: Heading not for a Good Place but a Necessary One?

Sorry for the long break. 

I have found myself in a foul and down mood about all that's happening to our country and to the West, with little to cheer me on. In addition, of course, the mundane events of my mundane life get in the way of deep thoughts and "important" actions. Having now to deal with a surprise bill from the IRS--out of the blue!--alleging back taxes owed. No way. I am a fanatic about keeping my taxes current and accurate; if anything, I overpay. My trusty accountant is doing battle but, so far, can't get a straight answer out of the IRS as to from where these new fees originate. 

Also dealing with a long-delayed real estate purchase in Raleigh which had thundered into the Valley of Death, and I assumed lost to the Russian artillery, but now has galloped out the other end alive and well. Dealing also with doctor appointments which I hate. I don't want to live forever; just long enough to become a burden on society. Doc won't cooperate; wants me to live well-beyond my assigned time. And I won't even mention the proudly self-declared transgender employee of a construction firm with whom I had to deal on the phone re a repair to a rental property: "My pronouns are she and her. I am this company's first openly transgender employee," boomed out a voice which could have belonged to Orson Welles . . . Did I need to know this? But I ain't gonna mention it at all . . . nope. 

So, lots going on, much too much to capture all or even most of it. 

Let's start with a habitual theme of this inconsequential and demonetized blog, to wit, we live in a time of the Great Fakery (more on that here and elsewhere over the years). We now know with almost 100% "scientific certainty" (a now meaningless phrase) that the COVID pandemic is a colossal hoax; almost on the scale of global climate change. It is not real. It is, as this little blog said so many months ago, just akin to a flu. Sufferers from this thing have a survival rate of nearly 100%. 

The much-ballyhooed CDC COVID death numbers are false, grotesquely inflated for political and financial reasons; we will see them adjusted downwards, quietly, with little media notice. The hospitals are not overwhelmed; the morgues are not at the bursting point; there was no need for a vaccine as very adequate treatments already exist; no need for a crash ventilator-building project--you will soon buy the things at the bargain bin in a Dollar Store, right next to the Star Wars blue-ray discs, and those CDs of Pat Boone's Greatest Hits. And on and on . . . oh, and, of course, no need, well, no scientific or medical need, that is, for the destructive economic shutdowns that we have seen implemented all over the world. 

All Fakery. 

Fakery, however, with a purpose which we have discussed before: the destruction of our nation, its values, our very way of life--and not just in the USA. Most of Europe is on total lock-down; my friends and relatives in Spain report a nightmare of repression in the name of fighting the DREADED VIRUS!!! Franco seems like a breath of fresh air. Sadly, we see the insanity has spread--not unlike in the dystopian novel On the Beach--even to a place I thought free of cowardly insanity, Australia.

As noted, all this done by the authorities as part of a "fight" with a "deadly" virus with a nearly 100% rate of survival. Bungee jumping probably has a higher mortality rate.

In keeping with the theme of the Fake, we here, in the once Great and Mighty United States, still churn through a highly Fake electoral process. Everything seems Fake, starting with the gaga Democratic candidate and his Fake "Doctor" wife. Please. Two total losers. It seems very certain that Biden will not serve as President for very long, EVEN IF he gets a Fake "virtual" inauguration on January 20, 2021. He has shown himself as not only a corrupt fool, but mentally and physically unfit for the presidency.

There remains no doubt that the "election" of Biden/Harris was a complete Fake, produced by massive and widespread fraud of an unprecedented nature. Our political and judicial systems seem incapable of dealing with this corruption. The state courts and the US Supreme Court have proven, so far, spineless, and possessed of no vision of what will happen to them and to our country if the Criminal Organization Known as the Democratic Party gets away with this enormous crime. Today's Democratic Party, sold out to Beijing, is a rehash of Nazism with its alliance of leftist street thugs, corrupt union bosses, and big capital billionaires, replete, of course, with a complicit media machine, wacko racial theories, demands for censorship and the "cancelling" of opponents, and insane economic prescriptions. As did the original Nazis, they will replace gaga Von Hidenburg, aka Biden, with a cackling loon of unbridled ambition.

A few days ago, I glumly went over all this with Diploson1. I sadly noted that I had no idea where we were going but, "we are not heading for a good place." He perhaps wisely replied, "Maybe not a good place, but a necessary one." He sees a possible rebirth of American patriotism, idealism, and greatness coming out of the Great Betrayal we are now experiencing.  

Maybe he's right? May he be.

  1. It ain’t over yet, I’m just thankful that Trump was so big that the fraud could not be performed with anonymity. The Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) are basically doing a “What fraud?!? You should not believe your own lying eyes!” “Pay no attention to Trumps sizable rallies, pay no attention to the ballot dumps, pay no attention to Dominion’s slight of hand as to vote counting - it’s all in your head!”

    Wow, for something so fake - they are trying awfully hard to make sure it continues to be viewed that way. Parents know when their child lies, well, I’m hoping the electorate does as well.

    1. Dear babs, No offence to you, and hopefully, I won't be percieved as 'blowing smoke' here...In Truth tho, I believe the diplokid has it exactly right! We the people didn't ask for what is shaping up as existential fight, nor did the Commander in Chief, his Cabinet, or the heroic rank n' file USMILFORS.

      Facts are that America's enemies, foreigh and domestic, were encouraged/embolded by the humble manner, or perhaps, the appearence of American weakness in reaction to the disrespect, threats, & assaults committed on our United States of America, as well as, the duly elected POTUS, constantly over the past 5 years!

      My read is that the CinC has by now, set the trap, and prepped the battle space for the "necessary" confrontation, NOW Appearing, on the near horizon. No dear babs that won't be "lipstick" they'll be painting on the PIGS, RATS, SNAKES, and or CHICOMS~~~ soon enough, the Brave and Intrepid American Forces, will light the fools up, and color them RED, as necessary.

      In 'the meantime, the in between time' at LEAST 70+ million American Patriots are saying their prayers, and putting themselves through basic training, Coast to Coast. Based on the Media News Reports, those Patriots are well stocked, armed, and munitioned. I'd also guess by now, that those reliable militias, stand ready, able, and willing to support their Local Sheriff, Police Departments, their fellow citizens and neighbors as requested, or as ordered by the CinC... btw, don't think lipstick is what those guys and gals will be wearing, from my viewpoint, across the 'fruited plain', it looks like WarPaint?!~~~

    1. Agreed, but then what will we do? I fear we may have reached the watering the tree of liberty stage of this thing as the institutions are now so corrupted I don't know they are feasible mechanisms for righting this wrong. I don't like that conclusion at all, but it's hard to see what else can be done.

    2. As pessimistic as I am about a Biden/Harris (or should I say Xiden/Harris) administration, I do think there is a possibility that this too shall pass......it's a question of how long it will take. It might take a LOOOONNNNGGGG time; after all, the Soviet Union survived from 1922 to 1991. The PRC has existed since 1949 so they have outlived the USSR by 2 years already. Dare we hope that they too will fall in due course? We know that socialism/communism does not work. It will never work. How long will it take before the American people rise up to reject it? Time will tell. I'm just sorry that it has come to this, but it is now clear that the Democrats/Leftists have been working very seriously towards this end for 50+ years and and the Republicans/RIGHT have been exceedingly slow to recognize the threat from within. That is how the left gained control of institutions that matter -- the schools, the media and to some degree, religious institutions.

    3. I concur, it will take considerable time, and maybe blood, to correct what has happened. But we didn't get here overnight, and we won't recover overnight, but at least people are soon going to realise what the Left has planned for us.

  7. First we know never to underestimate the nefarious nature of the IRS, they are the arm twisting of the Democrat party.
    My fear is like others they will not allow us a second chance to right this. Leftists never are the majority but will do whatever they can to stay in power once there.

  9. I'm consistently disappointed with the center-of-americans of the mid-to-late 20th century-born now-adults.
    Theories of 1800's era corrupt german pseudo-philosophers have grown to be worshiped by a surprisingly large swathe.

    "Capitalism just isn't working, we have to fix our economy." is not *only* a democrat power-play, it's also a view adopted by a surprising number of 25-55 year olds.
    It's the same excrement Lenin peddled to steer russia into 50 years of ruinous and murderous dictatorship.
    Heck, Lenin is now being reconsidered as a hero to a very large group of nut-case Americans (not fringe people, this stuff is talked about 'as scientific fact' over water coolers today in corporate America).

    imo, America's "leading of the world in divorce rates" is ultimately to blame... the breakdown of the nuclear family leaves kids extremely susceptible to bad ideas as they become adults.

    The only thing surprising about this election is that it's both surprising and not at all surprising.

    I agree with diploson1, there is some hope.. more and more kids are being educated outside the teacher-union system. Progressives are having zero-or-very-few children. I don't see a lot of progress on the marriage front, but there are definitely more tools out there now.

    I see more kids in their 20's with maga hats, while lefty violence and hatred has imo aged into the 30-50 year old range. Maybe that's a sign.

  10. Another upside... over the last 50 years the US government has been steadily building labyrinths and traps full of red tape for medical developments. In one year, we've taken 20 years of mRNA vaccine research and turned it from a 50-year pipedream into a 50-week reality. These vaccines are co-opting enemy adenoviruses and using them to deliver therapeutic payloads. In the Sabretooth metaphor, Trump's efforts just catapulted us from crutches at the whim of tiger-lunch to jet-packs.
    Remember... it was going to take 18 months to get even the first preliminary results of vaccine research into covid.

  11. Short term pessimist (realist?), long term optimist. The Diploson is correct -- but no-one can do more than guess at the time-scale. Like an alcoholic, we need to hit rock bottom first before the healing can begin. And as distasteful as the current situation may be, it is NOT rock bottom! Count on things getting worse before they start the slow process of getting better.

    The backdrop to all the social, legal, educational, political problems is that the Best & Brightest have nuked the US's productive capacity.
    That is why we have an unsustainable Balance of Trade Deficit, and are dependent on China for everything from nuts & bolts to medications to iPhones. Instead of China bombing our factories, they persuaded our politicians & their crony businessmen to send them overseas -- but the end result is the same. We are now in a position reminiscent of Japan & Germany at the end of WWII, but without a generous Marshall Plan to help us rebuild.

    It took Germany & Japan about a quarter of a century to recover from the loss of their productive capacity -- hard years, even with generous help from the US. That is the timescale we need to be thinking about to get back on track. But first, we need to hit rock bottom.

    4. My wife has become a more fanatical Trump supporter than I ever was. I admit that I was suspicious in 2016, and voted more against HRC (Her Royal Cr@%%iness Shrillary Shrooooooo) than for DJT. But, I told my wife that it might just be that her husband will, in his old age, be a casualty in a civil war to defend our liberties. I pray that God will not enter into such a judgment with his servants, but realize that he has his own plans.

  13. A lot is going to depend on just what happens during the first 6 months, say, of the Biden era. If he stays with typical establishment Democrat stuff -- talking, lecturing us, apologizing to the world, looking for more aggrieved subgroups, etc -- we'll probably behave like always. Tune them out, carry on, wait for the next ballots.

    But if he cedes true control to the woke crowd -- stealing stuff from the productive people, grabbing guns, punishing people of faith, reinvigorating terrorists -- then we're going to see some rebellion, and it will not wait till '24.
