Happy New Year to all book readers, blog readers, thinkers, writers and doers of whatever…! 2023 is the year of the pre-pre-election preparation for the looming (even now) election of 2024. This year is the preparation for the big propaganda machinery to start grinding out propaganda in advertising and mendacity in the media. This begins the push, the long slow crescendo toward November of 2024. Information spinning and spewing will begin to change to mis-information and then to serious propaganda, then to attack ads, and then to the nastiness of lies, smears and the unimaginable boredom of the debate cycles. Somewhere buried in all of this the average voter will strain to find a modicum of truth on which to be able to intelligently cast votes. A dauntless task. So…
What now…?
We have a broken, liberal government so wrapped up in unrealistic policies that it is chasing its own tail. So blinded by the enormous stupidity of far left policies that it has lost all pretense of reason. But it proceeds regardless with a broken compass to blackmail and intimidate not only our own country, but the rest of the world. This is not leadership. When we are being forced into Socialism (pre-Communism) by a liberal, left-wing government and controlled by “one-size-fits-all” policies, what alternatives do we have? Let us check out a few areas that are vital to our everyday existence.
MEDICINE
When all of the highest medical research facilities, e.g. CDC, WHO, etc. are under the control of one person, we have socialized medicine. We have the decisions of one person controlling the welfare of most of the people in the world. Obviously, this is not an ideal situation. If this person is unscrupulous, the organizations will ultimately fail due to narrow-minded thinking. And when the virtual dictator makes it impossible for other experts in the field to offer vital input without being discredited and/or having their careers ruined, the dictator is medically useless. This is what happens when there is no oversight or checks and balances in any organization. In this case, many people die. Out of control also in this regard with inadequate oversight are: DOJ, FBI, CIA, IRS, Dept. of Education, Pentagon, and State and Local governments.
CONTENTIOUS ISSUES
More issues that affect us daily that are being forced upon us without adequate research, just left-wing emotional intimidation are: Climate change, electric everything, solar & wind power, no energy independence, open borders, etc, etc. The impact of more than 5 million people of unknown circumstance having crossed our borders since 2021 will take many years to be revealed. Due to lack of medical care, lack of jobs & income, homes, and citizenship there are many problems to solve that our legal process for admitting foreigners takes care of – legally, including citizenship. Most of the above are ill-thought-out, inadequately researched, and many years from being practically introduced into our daily lives. Some are very dangerous.
FENCES
Why do we have fences? Everyone in the world with property has fences. We protect our property from encroachment, damage and thievery by people who prey on others for their own existence. Our own defined property is subject to taxes by our governing bodies. We either pay these or lose our property. Robbers and thieves don’t pay taxes. When our property is damaged or seized we call law enforcement for support. That is, unless these police are told by a liberal government to “stand down.” In which case we have incipient anarchy or chaos. This is exactly what happened in cities like Portland, Seattle and Chicago. Would you feel as liberal if any of the above was your property? Does insurance really help you to rebuild the work of a lifetime?
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
All of the above issues and many more are based upon our election process (which has been corrupted for a long time by unscrupulous politicians and those who control those politicians). Our newest issue in this regard is choosing people for positions or jobs or anything just by their color or gender or lack of gender or anything but their meeting the qualifications for that position or job. This, like many of the above issues is insane. It is the movie “Idiocracy” becoming part of the way our country is managed. This should and can be fixed.
And all of this, as bad as it is, is made even worse by the media; everything we hear and view. All of our announcers, journalists, advertisers, sports and entertainment personalities are censored. All are controlled to become purveyors of the propaganda that we, the citizens daily inhale and absorb. And for our children, indoctrination occurs in movies, television, social media, amusement parks, and most importantly, in our schools. Don’t dare to protest or criticize.
Even considering this giant handicap in communication, we still have only one ultimate choice: Clean up and legitimize our election process from the local and state to the national level and institute transparent oversight at every stage of the process. This is the only hope we have to save our country. If you believe that the prevalent corruption of the far left is the work of the devil, then prayer is the only answer. There is work to do in this Happy New Year to wake up friends and neighbors to investigate intellectually the above issues realistically and practically and to vote accordingly.
Regardless, we still sing: “God Bless America.”
