Corona virus

"

I'm not quite sure that people are aware of this, but a rising number of local and federal "authorities" and "leaders" are issuing some very disturbing edicts. They are passing laws and signing "executive orders" granting themselves pretty much open-ended power - for example, the power to confiscate property and firearms and confine people indefinitely to their homes (pending confiscation and eviction) for months or years into the future. Their inner dictators are oozing out of them like toxic waste.

I regard these miscreants as worse than SARS-CoV-2 ... in the aggregate, much worse. Most of them are not the capable leaders they pretend to be, but exhibit infantile delusions and a level of intelligence that would embarrass any self-respecting chimpanzee (especially those who have been rubber-stamped by one of the insane asylums now passing itself off as an "elite university"). After all, while a virus can destroy your life and your future, it won't follow up by coming after you with armed thugs who will blow your head off for refusing to have your property confiscated or become a pincushion for their mystery hypodermic needles.

This rising tide of open-ended confiscation / curfew / no-travel / business-closure orders is all but certain to crash the economy, and here's the problem with that: it would be all but unrecoverable, and it would almost certainly complete the parasitic divergence about which we've talked here. (You know - "Sorry, losers, but game over!") That's the road we're on right now. Want to taste real misery? That's where we're currently headed.

Anyone but a fool can smell the end game here, and it's ugly. The only people whose utility will be served if this goes on for more than a (very) few weeks are some of the very worst among us ... the greedy and ruthless, the political liars and prostitutes, the gibbering goblins and "pizza"-scarfing freaks who infest the power structure like fleas, lice, and ticks. They'll win it all, and we'll do all the losing. In fact, we're the jackpot.

In any case, I don't want to hear any complaints about my alleged preference for "conspiracy theories". If you still feel safe and trust the government and refuse to acknowledge its conspiratorial modus operandi, how nice for you. But I consider it foolish, and I've reached a point at which I no longer suffer fools gladly.

If the government wants to take over they'll just send in drones and your ammo is not going to do shit against them, you know that, right?
