America's Decline is Destruction-by-Design... is there any hope?

Here is the problem (sane) people are facing everywhere in America (the world can speak for itself): We now have generations of people schooled and raised to think emotionally, vice empirically.

When thinking with emotions people are most-often irrational - they cannot face facts, cannot <i>recognize</i> facts, cannot be dispassionate, step back a bit, and make a sane assessment of anything, whether issues involving family, society, local-and/or-national government, simple matters of truth... anything. Stir in political agendas delivered from on-high and everything becomes chaotic, and society collapses (runaway crime, inflation, border incursions... energy crises, servitude to canards of Covid, “climate change” - and thus a total collapse of a society’s security).

Emotional thinkers are now in high office, but generally "front-stage" - the ones you see in the White House, at podiums, and on campaign trails. The Back-Stage thinkers who truly control events and agendas are more rational, but these are the true controllers for the world at-large: They are narcissistic, sociopathic, cynical, power-mad (plenty of “front-stagers'“ too), and don't mind sacrificing millions of people to their pet causes, and in service to their maintenance of, and exercise of, power. They play with the world and society/ies as a child plays with a toy. If the toy or any piece of it breaks... *shrug*. It’s all de rigueur in the matter of “progress.”

Children raised in “woke” schools and/or families are almost never “rescue-able.” If a child is immersed in a foreign language, or languages, in their early years they’ll speak all languages fluently, without accent. Learn a foreign language after about age 12 and you must labor mightily to scrub any accent - and most often only be partially successful. The pliancy of the human brain as a simple organ, and its encroaching rigidity and its effect on the mind, cannot be ignored. People indoctrinated in the various discreet religions almost never leave them for another. They might leave religion entirely, but Muslims generally do not become Christians, and vice-versa. There are exceptions, of course, that prove the rule - but 98% of people harbor within their “religion of birth” for the duration of their lives, when they maintain a religion.

This speaks to the indoctrinability of people in general… everyone can’t be right, in that example… so somebody’s getting indoctrinated - many, many have unshakeable, sincerely held, convictions that are wrong. I’m an exception - and you may be too. I hope so. But, thus, children now being steeped in woke-ism are being raised to experience - and to unwittingly support and maintain - a slow-rolling woke catastrophe. It’s accruing more and more people and things in its path, until our society is already too stupid, it seems, to vote pragmatic people into office, and to mount, as one example, a sane food and energy program so that people don’t starve as they’re freezing to death.

The idea that creatures can manifest anthropogenic climate change, while inhabiting a mere 1 to 2 percent of the planet’s surface, is idiocy… but plenty of that abounds. Besides, the idea that America can help stave off man-made global warming and/or cooling (whatever it’s supposed to be now) by starving ourselves of fossil fuel (available right under our feet, trapped in politics), while Russia, China, India, Saudi Arabia, etc., exploit oil and natural fossil resources is ludicrous. It’s like mowing your lawn twice-a-summer to offset your neighbor’s mowing his three times a week: Your yard looks like chaos and shit and you haven’t made a manifest difference whatsoever to the world at-large. Americans are less than 3% of the other aggregation mentioned above and politicians (both front-stage idiots, and the back-stage with nefarious agendas) have us hurting by design.

To cover this destruction-by-design, the front-stage/back-stage cabal has crafted some seriously twisted lingo and “talking points.” This goes beyond and outside politics, puts Orwellian language to shame, and we’ve gone into some random insane agenda for America’s ultimate fail and fall. Namely:

Recession = strong economy.

Record gas prices = reduced gas prices.

Record illegal transgressions = secure border.

Failed Covid drugs = vaccines.

Depleting the strategic oil reserve = an energy policy.

“Inflation Reduction Act” = a valid policy on inflation and reduction

Multiple quarters of negative growth and 8+% inflation = “The economy is strong as hell” (Joe Biden talking with his mouth literally full of ice cream - to hide the stench of bullshit)

Time spent on CRT and drag shows in school = a necessary component of education

Prepubescent children who are years from their first sexual stirrings = a contingent ripe for exploitation and ruination via gender confusion and manipulation

A man kicked out of the Navy; a former crack addict; lying (“allegedly”) on a gun-purchase form; facing indictment on tax charges; a regular customer of hookers and strippers; a business-partner with our Communist Chinese adversaries; and man who manages to let all of this splash out into the public sphere, further besmirching a highly-public family (and that’s quite a trick, given the Bidens), despite an MSM that mimics Pravda with attendant blackout = a son of whom one can be proud; Joe Biden: “I’m just so proud of him.” Cue the kind of laughter that takes your breath away and leaves your sides hurting. Hear the thunder of millions of handclaps to face. Think of the sons and daughters worthy of proudness and praise - and meditate on the contrast a bit.

I suppose the pure idiocy of the Dems is illuminated (only in part) by statements such as Biden's, whereby he sees high energy prices as citizens’ opportunities to capture "tax breaks," such as buying an EV, or an energy efficient coffeemaker (actually stated, btw). Yah, well I'll tell ya somethin', Joe, no joke: No tax break overcomes the initial outlay in $$$ to buy those things, so it becomes a net deficit due to the expense of the simple purchase price - at a time when people are tightening their belts due to the tightening of their finances. Imagine the gall it takes to tell people you've "reduced" gas prices over the past few months, when the best you could do was to (temporarily) put around a $3.50/gal. price in place as measured against Trump's approximate $2/gal. And now gas is going up again. Hey Joe, why not dump the entire strategic oil reserve onto the market and give everyone free gas for, oh, a couple months or so… just past the midterms. Don't worry: We'll fill the reserve back up - just charm OPEC into producing more for us.

Some people are stepping up: The Trumps and Kari Lakes of the world, as just a few. Zeldin. Others; you know them. They have faced, and will face, an enormous set of tasks… and all while suffering spurious personal attacks. The government continues to attack people. Citizens. Even as we are Americans. True Americans.

I’d like to close by quoting Lenny Bruce, the late comedian. Even with a truncated career, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him third in 2017 on their list of the 50 best stand-up comics of all time - Pryor and Carlin were first and second. He was busted at a time when profanities-in-performance were arrestable, prosecutable, and jailable offenses. He was busted a number of times for simply saying “Fuck” on stage. So there’s some context for what follows:

Bruce: “If you can’t say ‘Fuck,’ you can’t say ‘Fuck the Government.’”

Food for thought: Today, we can say “Fuck” all we like. But say “Fuck the Government” loudly enough, with enough conviction, with plenty of rationale, with enough dispersion, and you’ll likely have your front door busted down by the FBI.

Have a nice day.

(Here’s the hope part - vote in numbers large enough to overcome the margin of cheat):
