The Drums of War and Famine

The drums of war were louder this week – in ways that sounded a lot like those ‘weapons of mass destruction’ claims that led to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. And, this drive towards conflict almost drowned out a more subtle and deadly voice:

Famine

Because our governments are run by the worst possible leaders (see The Peter Principle), we will get the worst possible outcome. And, I had been hoping for a less cartoonish response from those sending us to war.

I was also hoping for more time before this future became so obvious.

The Weekend Shock Letter for June 6th, 2020

Wow. Someone turned the turbulence up to eleven. The Jacobins came out of the woodwork and decided to trash everything. And, I talked about that, here:

Jacobins in the Night and the Fall of America

It’s as if someone placed an order for a French Revolution to distract people from government stupidity. I’m not ready to say that it was planned, but I’m also not saying that it wasn’t. If this was intentional, their intentions will have unintended consequences.

I’m ready to proclaim 2020 as the ‘Year of Stupid’, and we’re only at the halfway point.

The Wuhan Coronavirus – Death by Stupidity, Japanese Style

The Japanese government put morons in charge of the Diamond Princess quarantine. They went full retard, and you should never go full retard.

Japan bungled the cruise ship quarantine so badly that Japan is now almost certain to have a big outbreak of the Wuhan Coronavirus – forcing them to cancel the Tokyo Olympics that begin this summer.

This proves that our biggest threat might not be the evil intentions of our government, but the absolute incompetence and stupidity of elected officials. These people are dumber than a box of rocks, and I can hardly believe it.

Sin Destroys the Mind

Looking back over the events of the past week, one thing rings clear. Corruption and insanity go together. There’s a causal link between the two, and it is corruption that is the cause. And, we even have scientific proof to back up this assertion.

We have become insane, because we have chosen sin over righteousness.

Our founding fathers knew this, and even the worst of them – Benjamin Franklin – was clear on the need for morality and ethics for our freedom to be free. But, we lost our way and traded our freedom and sanity for pretty trinkets and shiny toys.

Why Must We Be Morons?

If you want a serious case of depression, read history. No, really. Nothing makes you despair about the future of humanity than a nice, strong dose of the past – which is a demonstration of just how evil and stupid we all are. And yes, I count myself as a member of the evil and stupid.

In fact, I wince at the foolishness in my own past, so don’t think that I’m not leveling the finger at myself. I’m just as much of a drooling idiot as anyone else. The only difference is that I can SEE that I’m a drooling idiot.
