On Cynicism & Gullibility In America, Part I

 

Because I think so highly of Victor Davis Hanson's radical review, the Second World Wars are probably as good a place to start this, as any. Plus, it was our battle against fascism, with its inherit racism and antisemitism, that revealed the hypocritical position America’s in, now. 

   

Black soldiers came back from the war, knowing America didn't really mean anything it fought for, igniting the Civil Rights movement. This brings us to the era of Martin Luther King, Jr.. 

   

Whites tend to focus on King’s 1963 “I Have A Dream” speech, dissecting it from the man, the rest of what he said and stood for, or the hardening attitudes, held at the time, that prompted King to have to make the speech. By the time he was killed, in 1968, polling amongst whites had him in the low 30s. Hardly a devoted following.

   

Blacks tend to take a more nuanced position, because the man wasn't finished with his work when he was murdered. But whites don't seem to want to focus on anything but that speech, for instance, ignoring, dismissing, or being outright hostile to King’s call for reparations. 

   

This is an American betrayal, to blacks, who believed in the entirety of King’s dream - and the claim that white’s did, too. The question for blacks then became “What do we do with this?”

Betrayals tend to make people go crazy. If the rules don't apply to some, they don't apply to others. We're seeing how the rules haven’t applied, now, with Hunter Biden. And the fact, his father threw more blacks in prison than any other politician, really makes the point sting.

The First Post (One Man)

With supporting evidence, Harry Markopolos told the American government, five times, that he’d found a Ponzi scheme. That one man, Bernie Madoff, was still allowed to destroy thousands of lives (until his plot against the world collapsed under it’s own weight) should come as no surprise.

One man, John Carryrou, got a tip something was amiss, after thousands of reporters had already walked with Elizabeth Holmes through the halls of Theranos. She, too, was “on the path” to being allowed to destroy thousands of lives - before the weight of the Wall Street Journal fell on her.

Aaron Rodgers is one man, but thousands of others are now suspiciously quiet behind him - after destroying thousands of other lives - all around the world. People like Prince Charles, the future King of England, and a lifetime activist for (and now a patron of) homeopathy. Or France’s Boiron Corporation, which is actually the leader in "making" the stuff (since homeopathy is water, what do you imagine they “do” all day?) along with Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Oz, Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey, Robert De Niro and Robert Kennedy, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow - the list goes on. Will a “weight” fall on them - or will one man have to carry it alone?

 

This phenomena, known as homeopathy, has been around for 200 years. So, history says, we knew the answer to that question, before it was even asked.

 

Time To "Move On"? I Don't Think So - Note To Skip And Bam: We'll Stay Right Here, Thanks

"It is time for all of us to move on, and to assess what we can learn from this experience."

-- Henry Louis Gates Jr., applying one of the phrases NewAgers always use when they've fucked up and no longer want to risk suffering the consequences of their actions - "Let's Move On" (Like the person who does the wrong gets to determine the length of the discussion about it) - in this latest attempt by the black V.I.P. and the First Black President to sucker-punch Gates' arresting officer (They've invited Sgt. James Crowley to be secluded together with them over a beer) after they've publicly projected him into - and wrongly-accused him of being - someone who uses racial profiling and is stupid, in The San Francisco Chronicle.

Sgt. Crowley shouldn't fall for it. Hold the line.
