The Genesis of Our American Collective
Meltdown

Posted By: earlybird, 7/5/2021 1:10:01 PM

This Fourth of July holiday we might pause for a moment from our festivities to ask how we collectively lost our minds over the last 15 months—and are we yet regaining any semblance of our sanity? A pandemic caused by the leak of a Chinese-engineered virus and its coverup was cause enough for nationwide madness. But the spread of COVID–19 was followed by a nationalized and often politicized “flatten-the-curve” quarantine that soon ensured a stir-crazy nation. Tens of millions saw no people, and heard nothing human other than what was fed to them through television and computers. No wonder they grew paranoid, conspiratorial, and angry, and soon forgot the therapeutic

I thank the author for the inventory of the components of our predicament. Now that we are facing our destruction, it would be handy to leave to our possible successors precisely HOW this happened and maybe, if they get a chance to survive the Chinese horde, they'll know better. There is a set of WHYS out there somewhere. Perhaps the two full generations of morons graduated by a subverted educational system. Maybe an inattentive electorate hiring the same politicians repeatedly on a pro forma basis and never wondering how these politicians are becoming multimillionaires on $179K salaries. Possibly a mass media structure that went from fourth estate to fifth column starting in the 1950's.at the behest of the CIA. It could be that "deep state" thing we heard so much about that has culminated in an election stolen from the American people. You don't really think that Obama pulled his own strings or that Soros operates without guidance, do you? All I know, my country is being destroyed from the inside out and I don't see a way to stop it.

VDH has drunk the Kool-Aid. Stanford, what do you expect. He has, sadly, been infected by the NoCal worldview despite all the idyllic reflections on the Central Valley. America will cast off these shackles and return. VDH has cast himself into the dustbin of history and the trash collectors have gone on strike, so it will stink at the bottom of his driveway.

Lots of columns from conservative pundits enumerating what’s gone wrong for the past 18 months but not one offering a solution. I’ve just read Harry Stein’s latest book, Will Tripp Goes Hollywood and he may have one that works. It’s an hilarious fictional account of a dwarf lawyer attacking the woke industry in Hollywood, He hits on the idea of a class action suit for all those who’ve been cancelled for their non pc comments. Hasn’t anybody realized that the cancel culture is against the 1st amendment? Let’s hit them in their pocketbooks.

To those of you demanding that VDH and others give a solution have you considered that maybe they can’t spell it out for you because the consequences would be dire for their ability to communicate with the public afterwards? That they would be fired, deplatformed and ruined? However, nobody that I am, I have a suggestion - those of us who fear for the future of the Republic must refuse to pay taxes and refuse, as much as possible, to buy non-essential goods made in China or any other hostile country. We need to start a grassroots movement to refuse paying taxes come next spring.

Hunter Biden consulted for a Nigerian-American businessman who tried to buy gold from a wanted Congolese warlord known as "The Terminator," according to emails from Biden’s abandoned laptop. Biden arranged introductory meetings in 2011 and 2012 for Kase Lawal, the president of CAMAC International, a Houston-based oil company, and the ambassadors of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, the emails show. Biden partnered with Mike Axelrod, the son of Obama adviser David Axelrod, on the consulting agreement. Lawal was appointed to serve on President Obama’s international trade advisory board in September 2010. Months later, Lawal paid $10 million to purchase gold from Bosco Ntaganda, a Congolese rebel warlord accused by

A federal judge in Georgia declined to block portions of the recently passed Georgia election law after an organization filed a legal challenge that sought to invalidate parts of the mandate. The Coalition for Good Governance, a left-leaning group that describes itself as an election security group, opposed the Election Integrity Act of 2021’s provision that voters request absentee ballots at least 11 days ahead of Election Day. The suit also asked the court to intervene to rescind restrictions on election observers.

Canada is currently undergoing the same orgy of antiwhite fear and loathing as the United States, although, due to the lack of blacks in Canadian history, it’s rationalized as justified by white mistreatment of Amerindians in the past. Ten churches in Alberta were set on fire on Canada Day, July 1, as part of a national nervous breakdown over “unmarked graves” at disused residential schools for Indian students. While in the U.S. the problems of American Indians in the 21st century have largely been ignored because extroverted blacks vacuum up most of the attention, the Great Awokening in Canada focused upon “First Nations” as its sacralized victims.

Nine countries have refused to sign onto an international tax reform framework that includes a 15 percent global minimum corporate tax pushed by the Biden administration as a way to reduce international tax arbitrage by U.S. multinationals and blunt the impact of President Joe Biden’s proposed domestic corporate tax hike.

A United States Air Force Academy professor has argued Critical Race Theory should be taught to all cadets so that they can understand how the United States was 'shaped by racism.' Political scientist Lynne Chandler García said the Constitution brought about 'inequality' and that George Washington was a racist. She argued that the history of the U.S. proved that 'racism has shaped both foreign and domestic policy.'

The Capitol is still locked down, still closed to Americans. One has to ask why. The Democrats are going to try to use the ‘investigation’ of the three-hour Capitol riot by a select committee to continue an effort to connect Republicans to the event and bash them going into 2022.

According to the New York Times, the U.S. Capitol Police have announced they are now planning to expand operations outside Washington “beginning with the opening of field offices in California and Florida” but the plan is to open “several additional regional offices.”
