Kunstler Today-‘The two traditional political divisions, liberal and conservative died with Covid. Now there are simply the sane versus the insane’
|
”Those who organized the disaster will take advantage of the inevitable discontent arising from efforts to overcome it, for if there is one thing that they are skilled in, it is demagoguery.”
—Theodore Dalrymple
 Can you feel it? The tension rising to the red-line? It runs clear through all of Western Civ. We are ruled by governments of fiends.
The problem started when they started "ruling" instead of "governing." Ruling is what Henry VIII did, when he wasn't trying to figure where his next nookie was coming from. Governing is attempting to referee among free men.
But now, the sun rides higher in the sky. The sap is rising in the northern forests. The earth heaves. The buds swell and blush. Something is in the air.
Look out! It's Boeing!
The animals are waking from their long winter sleep. The natives are restless.
Oom booga booga booga bub!
The two traditional political divisions, liberal and conservative died with Covid. Now there are simply the sane versus the insane. The sane have had enough of being pushed around by the insane. The insane don’t register much of what reality tries to tell them. They have a body of insane ideas to comfort and protect them from the reality’s rigors. To call that body of ideas an “ideology” is way too polite.
Leave us have a quick look at Theory, on the Left, with its eye on the pie and its hand on your wallet, and practice...
 That the insane call themselves “progressive,” is a signature of their insanity. Progress toward what better state of things? Toward a supremacy of fiends, sadists, degenerates, and morons seizing riches and power by every dishonest means possible outside the rule of law and common decency? It’s not even suitable to call them “communists.” They lack the necessary idealism for that. They don’t expect to put their shoulders to the wheel with their fellow man. They just want to grab your stuff and then kill you so they don’t have to hear any complaints.
They're not stroking your butt. They're picking your pocket.
 The insane do not believe any of the theoretical bullshit they want to force you to swallow. They don’t care about climate change. It’s just a cudgel they use to beat everyone over the head so they can steal your stuff. They don’t care about “democracy.” It’s just a line of bullshit to cover up their election-stealing. Do you suppose that sane people would keep using electronic vote-tabulating machines that were demonstrably connected to the Internet, and thus hackable, if they cared about election integrity? Of course not. They would arrange p.d.q. to junk them and use paper ballots, and only in person at polling places, with “absentee” exceptions only for people out of the country.
And the bedridden to be fair. With a neutral witness.
 The insane do not care about public health. Everything that is known about the Covid-19 vaccinations tells you that they are unsafe and don’t prevent infection or transmission of a flu-like illness that might not even be what it was officially labeled as. Our public health officials in the FDA, the CDC, and in other corners of the Department of health and Human Services, lie about everything they’re responsible for.
Does anyone still have an expectation of competence from the demonstrably incompetent? If you're incompetent on Monday, I'm guessing you're still incompetent on Wednesday.
This week, the CDC (under Director Mandy Cohen) released a 148-page study on myocarditis reactions to mRNA shots. Every word on every page of the document was redacted. The CDC printed countless copies of the report with 148 utterly blank pages, and then proffered them to the news media. How is that not insane?
Padded cell-level insane.
 The insane do not care about the rule of law. The conduct of “Lawfare” is the subversion of the law by dishonest means. It is a species of racketeering. And that is why Lawfare rogues such Marc Elias, Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann, Mary McCord, Lisa Monaco, Matthew Graves, and Merrick Garland, should be charged under the federal RICO statutes for conspiring to deprive sane citizens of their rights and property in the many cases related to the 1/6/21 riot at the US Capitol.
Obama proposed Garland for the Supremes as a "respected jurist" who, really, truly, had once read the Constitution.
It is, so far, an abiding mystery of contemporary history as to how New York Attorney General Letitia James managed to get away with prosecuting a real estate case against Donald Trump that was no more than victimless business-as-usual between a borrower and his lenders. Ms. James ran for that elected office promising to “get” Mr. Trump on something, anything. That is not how the rule of law works. Under the rule of law, first you determine that there is a crime and then look for who did the crime.
 Letitia James must be insane and/or pretty stupid. The short-term gain of stealing Mr. Trump’s property under a false color-of-law and creating impediments to his election campaign, will, sooner or later, blow back at her as a matter of malicious prosecution and, plausibly, racketeering as well. (With whom did she conspire to bring this case? We shall find out.) She will eventually be disgraced publicly as her teammate Fani Willis has already been disgraced in Fulton County, Georgia. I’ll tell you something that all sane people now know but won’t talk about for fear of being crushed by the levers of Lawfare: this looks like a concerted effort by people-of-color to railroad people of non-color. If you think that is a good thing for race relations in our country, then you are insane.
Since I'm a racist, I'm getting tired of seeing hulking black people shooting, stabbing, pounding on, raping, and otherwise murdering whites, Asians, Hispanics, Indian, Hindoos, and probably Tahitians and Antarticans. I know very well that there are lots of honest and intelligent black people. I also know that they're outnumbered, probably vastly, by the crooks, scoundrels, and sadists who prey upon them and us. I should probably cease reading the Nigerian press, looking at South Africa and Zim-bob-we, the Sahel states, and most of the rest of the continent. They look too much like Blue American cities.
 Here are a bunch of other things that are insane: Re-litigating the first amendment is insane. It means what it says, and states it plainly. The open border is insane. No credible sovereign polity would allow it. It would be opposed with force, if necessary.
As in deadly force. But the people in favor of open borders down Mejico way are the same people who would be happy to welcome fraternal Soviet Russian assistance to throw of the Nazi oligarchists who might beat the virtuous Dems some election or other.
Turning children into transsexuals on a wholesale basis is insane, and fiendishly so.
Oh, who doesn't want their sons to avoid being eunuchs, their daughters to be feminine and fertile? Besides me, of course. Everybody knows I'm just an old crank.
Everybody knows that it is not good for the children or for our society as a whole. But fiends got to fiend, and if you try to deprive them of being fiends then you are guilty of “hate.”
Which, recall, is different from "hatred." You have to feel "hatred" yourself. Your "hate" can easily be diagnosed by a college freshman from seven hundred miles away, saving you the effort.
The war in Ukraine is insane. We certainly didn’t ignite it in the service of “democracy.”
Ummm... We didn't ignite it.
"The fraternal Soviets Russians are gonna invade you in the spring," we kept telling the Ukes.
"Shuddup," they kept telling us. "We can handle this."
 The fraternal Soviets Russians invaded, to "de-Nazify" the place right on schedule, like it was their business.
"Give us money!" the Ukes said. "Give us weaponry. Give us money!"
"Shuddup," said the fraternal Soviets Russians.
Remember, this is the same nation of geniuses who told the Russers back in '92 or '93 that they'd get rid of all the nukes in their country and the Russians could guarantee their security in return. But that was all such a long time ago, and we were all so much younger then. Some of us hadn't even been conceived yet!
Our pawn there, Mr. Zelensky, canceled the national elections last year.
Weren't they being invaded?
The war was arguably an effort by our CIA to deprive Russia of its market for natgas in Europe, and thus deprive Russia of a great deal of money, that is, of prosperity.
Of course, it's also arguable that had nothing to do with it, or it was a fairly remote side effect. Be careful about giving the CIA too much credit. They're civil servants. Don't expect competence from them. Be surprised if it shows up. Those 57 dipshits that signed the letter about Hunter's laptop may well have thought they were right. I'm positive they thought they were correct in the lies they were puking even if the rest of us could smell the turds on their breath. I mean, history's on their side, right?
The project failed. Russia overcame NATO’s proxy army and found other markets for its gas. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines only served to impoverish and weaken our NATO allies, who no longer have affordable gas to run their industries. The leaders of those allies were too insane to recognize that the Nord Stream op was an act-of-war against them. They were also busy destroying themselves, like the USA, with open borders. They will end up in a new medievalism, ruled by savages. You’d have to be insane to arrange that for yourself.
I can agree with the lunacy part. I see the Ukes standing with their fingers in the dike, which means we're not really in agreement.
 What’s most obviously insane in our country is that the insane party is pretending to nominate the mentally unfit White House place-keeper, “Joe Biden,” for reelection.
According to actuarial charts, he should be waking up dead any time now.
You would think that if this party wanted to retain power, they would run a candidate who, though insane, was not also visibly senile. But the rank and file of this party are too insane to see that this dodge is not working. They are pretending with all their might that this is okay, that the growing faction of the sane don’t notice.
Watch the Dem VP nominee. If it's Willie Brown's old mistress, they're totally nuts.
Sensing the growing impatience with insanity among the voters, the insane party has reached its point of terminal desperation. What will they try next? Murder? Why not? Nothing else seemed to work. They are too far gone in their insanity to understand that winter is over. We’ve entered the season of rebirth and renewal, starting with a renewed appreciation for being sane and for that indispensable ingredient that makes liberty in a free society possible: good faith. Really, the only question left is: how rough do they intend to play to prevent the return of sanity and good faith?
