The Morning Report - 3/9/21 [J.J. Sefton]

Good morning, kids. Tuesday and where to begin?

- - A bill that effectively makes election-rigging by the Democrat/Globalist Junta on a national level an inviolable, unassailable and permanent law of the land - whatever land that may be considering the United States of America as founded died on January 6th and was embalmed on January 20th, to go with the cadaver now posing as "president,"

- - the opening of our borders to millions of impoverished peasants from south of the border, impoverished Mohammedans from the 7th century or impoverished agents of the PRC out to steal our secrets or brainwash our already considerably braindead children, on top of the soon to be amnestied 30 million or more illegal aliens already in our midst,

- - the raping of our children's children's future by adding trillions more to the national debt putatively to fight a virus that is provably only incrementally more harmful to the general population than seasonal flu,

- - the continued forced imprisonment of the population over said virus that has destroyed our economy, caused all sorts of societal and social upheavals, and traumatized us perhaps permanently,

- - the mad rush to abolish petrochemicals and coal and thereby hurtle us back in time to a bleak, miserable, Dark Age existence, naturally excluding those at the top with the whip,

- - the persecution by the junta in power of more than half the people who did not vote the right way, that is for President-in-exile Donald Trump, and the persecution by latter-day Maoist cultural revolutionaries in our businesses (what remains of them), our schools (ditto) and even in our own homes of anything and everything American, Western, Judeo-Christian, caucasian, masculine and feminine, good, decent or otherwise normal, sane and rational...

And so on, and so on, and scooby doobie doobie. This essay from David Solway at PJ Media centers around both the global warming and COVID scams but to me, the gravamen of his discourse applies to everything we are collectively (no pun) enduring and the ultimate end game of it all.

As Soviet dissident Natan Sharansky writes in his newly released memoir Never Alone, "In the West today, the pressure to conform doesn't come from the totalitarian top... Instead, it comes from the fanatics around us, in our neighborhoods, at school, at work, often using the prospect of Twitter-shaming to bully people into silence -- or a fake, politically-correct compliance."

Of course, there is pressure from the top -- from the political class, government-funded medical personnel, profiteering green-preneurs and the media, whom Boudreaux regards as "pathetically uniformed... largely innumerate and, in many cases, intellectually lazy." But the pressure comes also from the bottom and the middle, compelling conformity with climate doctrine that is destructive of the environment and economically devastating, as well as consent with [Chinese] COVID regulations envisaging years of lockdowns ahead and the collapse of society as we have known it. When a free society collectively agrees to the surrender of its freedoms, it is clearly in the grip of a cognitive fiasco of the first magnitude.

What we are observing is the shrinking of perception that comes with acquiescence to the pressures of group-think and collective mind-forming. We begin by being susceptible to repression. We proceed by accepting its diktats. We finish by experiencing a narrowing of the sensibility. Ultimately, we grow stupefied, shedding IQ points like autumn leaves. Of course, the reasons for the decline of intelligence in the West are many and varied as well as controversial, but the downward trend is well-documented. The public response to "Climate and COVID" is a sure indication of the debacle.

The emphasis above is mine. While we're dealing with all of this, which feels more like all of this is dealing with us, the one issue that seems to be concerning everyone are the travails of the dusky, dimwitted Wallace Simpson wannabe Meghan Markle. I have to feel for Queen Elizabeth. Nearly 2,000 years of history of an empire and people that shaped the world we live in snuffed out decades ago while she was sitting on the throne (an actual throne, not the can). As the jackals of globalism, Mohammedanism and Socialism rip apart whatever rotten flesh is on Albion's bones, along comes Markle. I have to believe she has had some interesting conversations with The Almighty about why He insists on keeping her alive to witness all of this. The metaphor for us on this side of the pond should be obvious.
