Look at all the wrecking balls

 

As the world staggers into the New World Order, Mark Lewis at Townhall looks at all the wrecking balls: 

What is critical to understand is that all the failures of the Biden administration are choreographed.  They are deliberate, exactly what Soros, the WEF, the Deep State, i.e., the Marxist Left covet.  They WANT failure.  We must understand that.  Some of them are intelligent enough to know that Leftist policies never succeed because they contradict basic human nature, economic laws, history, science, God, and every other reality.  This is the horror we are witnessing in America and around the world today —designed, intended collapse.  Those who are engineering this are aware of it and, again, need the failure.  As societies crumble and dissipate into total chaos, someone, echoing Hitler, will have to step forth and restore order again.  The Left certainly doesn’t intend for Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis to do it.  The Marxist Left will be able to assume all power, and the people will gladly give it to them in order to restore some measure of peace and stability to their lives.  The masses will obey whatever orders are given to them under the threat of terror, and out of fear of a resurrection of the madness that brought about the totalitarian state in the first place.  Most Americans sense something is dreadfully wrong, but don’t know enough history to understand it. That is a supreme tragedy.

The endless war against merit

 

This blog frequently links to historian Victor Davis Hanson’s essays. At his recent essay at American Greatness, he considers the definitions and consequences of socialism and its derivatives ("Do We Even Know We Are All Socialists Now?”).  Here’s his conclusion:

. . . A final note: the Orwellian police state is central to socialism, since the ideology is contrary to innate human nature and when fully implemented quickly ruins all that it touches and is commensurately despised in its fruition. So to force compliance is a 360 degree, 24/7 project that transcends all our institutions and culture.

That is why the woke FBI goes after counter-revolutionary parents at school board meetings or traditionalist Catholics rather than Pentagon leakers or Islamic terrorists.

That is why the FBI and the CIA respectively tried to warp the 2016 election with the phony Steele dossier and in 2020 probably did so by suppressing the truth about the “bombshell” evidence found on wayward Hunter Biden’s laptop.

That is why news disappears off Facebook and the old Twitter. That is why the order of Google search results seems bizarre. That is why Disney or Budweiser suddenly virtue signal their nihilist politics, or why Nike makes the mediocrity Colin Kaepernick a multimillionaire, or Stanford University attempts to purge vocabulary such as “citizen,” “immigrant,” and “American.”

Once socialism takes hold, every mediocrity, every ossified bureaucracy, every constipated careerist, every hack writer and nobody actor, comes out of the woodwork to find his socialist “fair share” of what he lacked in talent or accomplishment.

In the end, perhaps the best definition of socialism is simply “The endless war against merit.”

A Greek Tragedy & A Suggestion Box

 

Sundance is seeking suggestions from his readers;  in his own words, “Put your thoughts into the form of a vessel, willing to deliver in just about any way possible.  What do you want me to do?”  He provides thorough context and reasoning. 

In the comments section below his posting, I found reader Steve Brown who probably reflects the thoughts and perspectives of many readers:

I live and work in my Homeland, England. I speak for the very many people with whom I have spoken here when I say that the USA is now viewed by most as being like a Greek Tragedy. Your Leader is naught but a tragic comedian, propped up by unseen hands. Your overseas ventures are characterised by abject failure, your economy is such that it is endangering the rest of the world, but still the croaking voices of those who supposedly represent you continue to profess your assumed global leadership.

Those same people now, since the very recent indictment of Donald Trump, state that Trump is very possibly the only person capable of stopping the decline of the USA but also of possibly reinstating that nation as the premier world leader and even as the bastion of legal rights.

We overseas can only hope and pray for you all in the United States.

If you have a suggestion for Sundance, by all means go to his posting here.

Proof: 2020 election fraud

 

Gary Varvel cartoon

Wayne Allyn Root’s columns are always good value.  He has his own website and various blogs routinely link to his articles.  His column today is not going to put a smile on your face, but it’s his take on how we KNOW the 2020 election was stolen.  Here are his closing paragraphs:

 The consequences of a stolen election are all around us. . .

Our country is a freaking mess. A shell of its former self, in free fall. The people in charge could star in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.

This is the purposeful destruction of America and the great American middle class  
- in only two short years since an illegitimate, corrupt, brain-dead President was placed into power.

The humiliating state of our nation is all the proof you need of a stolen election. The evil all around us is the proof. In only two short years, a stolen election has unleashed the gates of hell. This was all a plan…

And it’s being carried out to perfection.

Must Read of the Day: Imagine The Unimaginable

Victor Davis Hanson’s sobering essay, “Imagine the Unimaginable”, has been cross-posted at several blogsites.  It’s a Must Read.  Here’s the link to PJ Media site.  Quick take-away:

Ruling elites would rather be politically correct failures and unpopular than politically incorrect, successful, and popular. 

VDH closes his essay:

When revolutionaries undermine the system, earn the antipathy of the people, and face looming disaster at the polls, it is then they prove most dangerous—as we shall see over the next few months.

Sobering indeed.  Click here for the full essay.

America: out of order

 

As usual, Victor Davis Hanson nails it.  From American Greatness:

What explains an America that suddenly no longer works? 

First, all of these problems are self-induced. They did not exist until Biden [I would assume that when he refers to “Biden,” VDH means “the Biden Administration.”] birthed them for ideological or political reasons. Apparently, his administration wanted a changing, more favorable electorate and demography at any cost. 

. . .

Second, Biden has no solutions to these self-created problems because of the ideological restraints the Left has imposed on him.

The administration fears the anger of the hard Left more than the furor of the American people. So it will not change, preferring to be politically correct and a failure than to be ideologically incorrect and successful. 

Third, when people object, this administration answers either by blaming others for its self-created mess or by seeking distractions. Now it is faulting gun owners for the crime wave it fostered, supposed “white supremacists” for the racial tensions it fanned, and Putin, whom it appeased.

The common denominator? Biden knows that he inherited a stable, prosperous America and has nearly ruined it. 

Read VDH’s full column here.  But where is the good news?  Sundance at Conservative Treehouse sums up some encouraging and significant push-backs:

[A] more assertive, deliberate, strategic and determined MAGA movement is being noticed everywhere.  There are new combat rules in response to the leftist onslaught toward our children.  . . .

Leftist favorite Netflix, is hemorrhaging users and just lost 30% of its value.  Spotify just refused to renew the leftist idols, the Obamas.  The ultra-leftist Disney Corp just lost their special district status in Orlando, and leftist Twitter is on the verge of a hostile ‘free speech’ takeover by Elon Musk.

This is not a Halloween prank

photo credit: 2popcornmovies.blogspot.com

IRONY ALERT! Joshua Caplan at Breitbart has the not-a-joke headline: “Facebook Suffers Data Protection Mishap at London Security Event”:

Facebook was left red-faced earlier this month after the social network giant suffered a data protection mishap during a cybersecurity conference hosted in London, according to reports.

The blunder occurred when Facebook misplaced an email list of the summit’s participants.

Financial News London reports:

The privacy breach was not at any old seminar though, it happened at an event entitled “Cyber security: the next 50 years”, which was hosted by Facebook and The Fulbright Commission, the US-UK scholarship programme, at their offices in Brock Street.

The panel discussion was headed by Gail Kent, Facebook’s global public policy lead on security. Fulbright scholars and security experts Jamie Collier, Cameron Colquhoun and Karen Renaud also spoke and the talk was followed by a networking reception.

But the next day guests were shocked to receive an email from Chris Horry, chief operating officer at the Fulbright Commission, which has been forwarded to Capital.

…

Attendees initially assumed the message was an ironic joke, given the theme of the event, and wondered whether a Facebook employee had grabbed the guest list in view of the company’s track record on this issue.

“Unfortunately, I have to inform you that in the course of yesterday evening’s cyber security event, a printed guest list with the name of the invitee and email address has been mislaid,” an email via Horry to participants read. “Whilst we do not expect that the list has been misappropriated, we cannot exclude that possibility. Please rest assured we very much value your data privacy and sincerely apologise for this unfortunate incident.”
