The Chronicles of Madness – Special Edition
In this special edition of Madness Chronicles, we take a look at the madness of the coronavirus. Remember, insanity is a state of mental illness, especially severe, extremely foolish behavior, and a state of frantic or chaotic activity. Let’s take a look at the panic that is taking place in the United States.
My daughter called today from Utah with the news that her governor had declared a state of emergency. She announced that there will be no gatherings of more than 100 people. She made a routine trip to Walmart for groceries and found a madhouse. She feels images. The shelves are empty! She described a scene straight out of the movies. hmm? It appears to be a state of frenetic and chaotic activity.
Another daughter called and described empty shelves of toilet paper at a Walmart near us in Montana. There are now reports of toilet paper and hand sanitizer shortages across the country. Interestingly, soap remains in abundance. Our Governor of Montana, hearing of the toilet paper shortage, declared a state of emergency in Montana.
In the Governor’s press release, he acknowledged that no cases of the virus have been found, although forty people have been tested, all negative. But he said that by ‘officially’ declaring a state of emergency, he could immediately make $16 million available and allow him to call in the Montana National Guard. Being fast even in my old age, I thought, will the guard be able to protect us from the virus?
My daughter from Utah called after she got home and told us that the Mormon church announced that they would be closing all meetings beginning Monday, March 16. Again, being quick in my old age, I thought, um, I guess the virus can’t get someone until 16. Interesting? But before my wife and I returned home after our daughters called, the Mormon church had reconsidered and announced that it was canceling all church gatherings around the world until further notice. Maybe I channeled a thought there, you never know.
The scene described above is repeated throughout the United States. A couple of days ago, the state of Washington reported, I think, nine deaths from the coronavirus. But if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find that they were all elderly and living in nursing homes. And none, like zero, had been medically confirmed to have died from the virus. They were only ‘suspected’ of dying from the virus. Could there be some extremely silly behavior on the part of the media here? It’s up to you.
The NBA announced that they were considering not allowing fans into games. With that news, the self-proclaimed King of Everything, Lebron James, let the world know that HE would not be playing to empty seats. A couple of days later, a member of the Utah Jazz tested positive for the virus, and the NBA suddenly announced it was canceling the entire season. A strong reaction for an infected player.
The NCAA had previously announced that its basketball tournament, March Madness, would be played only in front of family members and the media. We all know that they cannot be infected. And the tumbleweed of madness gathered momentum. The closures of schools, secondary schools and primary schools are announced. And did you know that the Surgeon General announced that the flu is a greater threat to young people than the coronavirus?
Sometimes madness is great. Remember when Saul Alinsky, he is Karl Marx 4.0, said, “The problem is never the problem.” Think about that for a minute. Then consider educating Chicago Mayor and Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel by saying, “Never let a crisis go to waste.” Think about that for a couple of minutes. And then think about this…for quite a while.
Within six weeks of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the Patriot Act passed Congress with only one dissenting vote. The Act was, after all, in response to a crisis. Right? It took away many individual rights, expanded surveillance powers, and made Americans less free. Interesting?
What if I told you that the provisions of the Patriot Act were written long before 9/11? What what? Much of it was written during President Reagan’s tenure. However, the proposals were rejected by Congress. More were added under President Bush, Bush the Elder. The plans were again denied by Congress. Enter President Clinton and the Oklahoma City bombing. Boom! A crisis.
Immediately after the Oklahoma City bombing, the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA) was introduced. And that legislation contained many of the laws proposed by Reagan, Bush and Clinton. The crises at hand and Congress passed it with flying colors. See how it works? Expansion of government regulation, difficulty in passing legislation, introduction of a crisis and you have the solution. Repeat. Isn’t that fascinating and disturbing at the same time? Could she be a mother tactician from the Deep State? It’s up to you.
The World Trade Center towers have collapsed and, like Houdini Bush, The Younger has the solution ‘written’ and approved in six weeks. Voila ‘The Patriot Act! The Patriot Act completed the legislation of the three previous presidents. Isn’t that smart? Could our elected officials have a plan after all?
Why would our current crisis, the coronavirus, be any different? It may turn out to be a deadly virus that is ravaging the world. Or it may be a false flag. You be the judge. But remember, the problem is never the problem and never let a crisis go to waste.
Let’s wake up from this madness before it’s too late. I wish you all good health and until next time…have fun, enjoy life and beware the craziness among us.
