The Acceleration of the Decceleration

--  The decision to bring to the United States two missionaries infected with Ebola was emblematic of a political age where emotionalism and how things make one feel takes primary consideration over wider concerns of more import but less immediate emotional impact, such as public health.  Considering that the CDC in Atlanta had to close labs working on Anthrax and Influenza recently due to errors in handling (N.Y. Times, July 11:  “After potentially serious back-to-back laboratory accidents, federal health officials announced Friday that they had temporarily closed the flu and anthrax laboratories at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta and halted shipments of all infectious agents from the agency’s highest-security labs.”), this decision on Ebola borders on criminal.  It is yet another sign that we are ruled by an out-of-touch, half-educated and over-emotional elite.

--  While the world condemns Israel and the IDF for civilian casualties in Gaza, Islamist forces are butchering, beheading, crucifying and starving what little remains of the Christian community in central Iraq.  The U.S. has done nothing to protect this community, which has suffered immensely, now to the point of extinction, since the invasion of Iraq in 2003.  Until and unless strong, nationalist, European states come into existence again and pick up the duty to protect minority Christian communities around the world, this will continue.  The silence from Washington on this issue, and from the Vatican, is simply astounding.  That all this is done without press coverage or the mobilization of international organizations and governments is sharp, hard evidence that we live in a revolutionary, ideological age where Muslim victims help those in power while Christian victims are entirely unimportant.

--  A revolutionary state of affairs requires revolutionary action to correct.  In that sense, once again, Europe seems many times further along than the U.S. or Canada.  In France, Generation Identitaire has started a youth militia, who wear bright yellow coats, which patrols the Metro and public areas.  In Germany, new nationalist parties have broken from their past and have re-lauched with the aim of a Germany for Germans, full stop.  In Norway and Finland, new nationalist parties participate in politics at the highest level. Even Sweden is getting into the act, with the Swedish Democratic Party.  It doesn’t get much clearer than this:

-- The U.S. Government’s abject failure in Afghanistan (where we are negotiating with the Taliban, an enemy who attacked us and who we said we would destroy), in Iraq (where we are witnessing the dissolution of a Potemkin puppet government which is nothing more than Iran’s faction in the state), in Immigration (where over-heated rhetoric lead to an unprecedented flood of illegal immigrants, whom the Government clearly favors over native-born Americans), in the Economy (where wages continue to depress, thanks to a large reserve army of foreign labor), to its Space Program (where we are dependent on Russia for launches to outer space), to the exercise of its Police Power (where it has over-militarized processes and uses excessive force regularly), to the launch of a national health care program (where the ObamaCare law has been revealed to have an almost-certainly fatal flaw in how it was written and, as a practical matter, cannot manage the launching of Exchanges, the key component of the plan), to its disastrous Foreign Policy (making matters worse in Ukraine, creating unstable states like Kosovo and South Sudan completely dependent on the U.S. Treasury, to its continued failure to halt Iran’s nuclear program), to its investment in Crony Capitalism (where it has used public money to support the profits of private companies, thereby forevermore distorting the U.S. market economy with regard to the perception of risk), to its failure to control the Banking Industry (which now routinely engages in illegal practices, knowing that its profits are secured and enforcement will be merely in the form of fines, which are many times less expensive than the potential profits.), all adds up to not only justifying my position that the election of Barack Obama would accelerate a then slow-moving decine to the point where action will be taken to correct it, but to actively moving the USG in a direction where many citizens now feel that it is not even a representative body any longer.

-- Like the Soviet Union before it, the new ideological Government of the United States will continue to insist that all Five-Year Plans are proceeding with fabulous success right up until the moment it ceases to exist.  A government, which, it much be repeted is NOT the United States, nor the American people, but simply a government, the kind of institution which Thomas Jefferson warned us must be from time to time replaced.

-- "Every people may establish what form of government they please, and change it as they please, the will of the nation being the only thing essential." --Thomas Jefferson: Anas, 1792.
