The great conceit underlying socialist dogma is that politics really is science, and governance really is a matter for the “experts”.
But the “expert” is really just a very old idea under a new hat and a new coat. It is really nothing but the “Just King” theory, refurbished.
Because in the same way a king would not need checks on his authority if he were completely honest, and had the perspicacity of an angel, the expert could in theory lead us all to prosperity and harmony and peace.
But not all kings, OBVIOUSLY, were just–in fact very, very few were–and the REALITY is that most experts are self evidently corruptible, with Anthony Fauci EVEN NOW, EVEN NOW, refusing to admit that his policie–copied from the Communist Chinese, and never inflicted on humanity at any time in this way at any point in human history–are causing vastly, vastly more harm than good, and that lockdowns seem to INCREASE mortality, EVEN FROM THE DISEASE, rather than decrease it.
Think about what a lockdown does. You lock groups of people together all day for months on end, knowing that some of them have to go out for supplies, so they don’t starve, and knowing that if that person gets infected, most likely ALL of them will get infected. People don’t exercise. They get little sunlight. They are under unremitting stress, and in constant doubt, since no one knows when some arbitrary government asshole will see fit to relieve them of their confinement.
This is obviously a rich environment for disease. The model we copied, that of the Chinese, may have killed as many as millions. It is the model that produced the worst death rates in America in New York.
And the countries that copied us and the Chinese around the world put large segments of their population at risk of death from STARVATION. That is death, too, OBVIOUSLY, and now we are dealing with disgusting and unfathomable numbers.
And as I pointed out to someone last night, if 125 million people are at risk of starvation–the last number I saw–then that means ALL OF THEM right now are hungry and hurting, and suffering from other diseases that attend extreme poverty, including diseases like rickets and even scurvy that accompany malnutrition.
And that number can be extended. I think a good case could be made that the lives of a BILLION or more people took distinct turns for the worse because their governments followed policies of the sorts being recommended by Anthony Fauci and the Communists running the WHO.
Fauci says no double blind studies have supported HCQ, even though Switzerland and other nations have shown its value. First off, the studies in progress at the outset were CANCELLED following the LIE that Lancet published. Secondly, no double blind studies support MASK WEARING. What studies did exist said universal mask wearing was a bad idea unsupported by the literature. Yet there he is, recommending it anyway. Third, people are DYING: they are dying in small numbers from the disease, and likely to die in large numbers from the lockdowns. Given people what amounts to tonic water carries little to no risk.
Here is the main point I wanted to make: all government policy should be treated as a scientifically formulated hypothesis, which contains at the outset the indicators that would falsify it.
When legislators pass a law, they should state what impact it is predicted to make, and what outcomes, if they come to pass, would indicate that their assumptions were incorrect.
You could even BUILD INTO THE LAW triggers which would cancel the law. If an anti-poverty law INCREASES poverty two years in a row, then it should be rescinded and something new tried.
In reality, obviously, many politicians break things then lie about it. This is the Communist strategy.
In our country presently, we have common sense and common decency–deployed in an array of ways–fighting against Communism. Communism is the main problem we face.
Actually, I would qualify that. Communism is a method. It is a method for getting and keeping power and creating and protecting structural inequalities. That this is the opposite of the stated purpose is both obvious and part of the value of the system for those who control it.
I continue to believe our banking system is the greatest injustice we face. It is a system by means of which an unelected, shadowy elite can create essentially unlimited amounts of wealth for themselves, which they siphon off invisibly from the sweat and creativity of the rest of us.
It is ultimately this elite who is behind all the nightmares facing humanity right now, in my view. They hate Trump, which is why I love him. If he fails, we all fail. I truly believe this.
