| Mercer: Who Invited The World To Infect America? |

| [American Greatness] Hate the Chinese government if you wish, but hold your own government responsible for hollowing America out like a husk. Excerpt follows: Economic Elephantiasis The sphinxly Bill Gates, we are told, foresaw the pandemic. Gates also pioneered the outsourcing of American lives to China (and India). I say "lives," because, as it has become abundantly clear, in the wake of COVID, the very stuff of life has been outsourced to China. Not mere jobs; but careers, not just some products, but entire production lines; not one or two manufacturing plants, but the entire means of production. Engineers who can think hate Gates. America’s best and brightest have done time supervising and titivating squalid, sub-par Chinese factories, when they knew full well that, instead of cheap, nasty, and disposable, their colleagues back at home could have delivered classy, attractive, durable and sustainable products and production capability, around which real communities would have coalesced. Instead, Gates’ vision has given us transient labor that flits between Wuhan and Washington, for, these "global beasts with their vast balance-sheets" aren’t interested in the kind of economic growth around which authentic, organic, enduring communities congregate. The attitude of American business toward economic growth is rooted not in healthy, community-based practices (stateside and abroad), but in some aberrant economic gigantism; in an economic elephantiasis undergirded by hubris and greed. Bill Gates, the point man, the pinhead who pontificates about pandemic best practices, was among the powerbrokers who decided, with his benefactors in D.C., that the "new economy" would hum not in America, but in China and India. And it’s not merely for profit. Tech superstars like Gates are true believers in the borderless multicultural state. These arrogant CEOs and their minions are social-justice warriors, first; giants of industry, second. They are cosmopolitans who believe consumption alone makes the world go round. Community? That’s when you press flesh with George and Amal Clooney at the World Economic Forum in Davos! |

| #6 Enforce the anti-monopoly laws + the laws against predatory prince. Force Google to divest Doubleclick and YouTube. |

| #5 Don't forget all the Prince-pulled Conservatives who run point for the Silicon oligarchs and the Chamber of Commerce. Until the Right purges these grifters, it will never be strong enough to fight the oligarchs and their SJW allies/tools. |

| #3 The funny thing about all these borderless, multicultural states is they still want us to pay taxes. |

| #1 COVID-19 is an own goal for the gerbilists crowd. We will be told it's a small price to pay. |
