This was a recent comment that shows exactly the dangers and ignorance that is rampant today. In response to my post on Eating the Elephant, Mr. Dickson wrote this:
Quarantine…enforced or voluntary….is as old as the practice of medicine. This…..OMG….the world is going to end defeatism, has got to stop. Our government is guilty……..of trying to save lives and it will only retain whatever power we allow them.
Yes, the government is good and wholly on our side in this pandemic. I recently described the government as this: “One cannot simply believe that there is no evil in government, it is better to operate as if the government is evil and let the good expose itself.”
I have never been one to say “OMG…the world is going to end” what I have said time and time again is that the world, the one most people see and recognize, has been over for a long time. It is a facade. Evidence of its destruction is harder to come by, but is slowly being revealed. I am not shocked or startled by this. My take has always been to point it out, first where Constitutional violations were nullifying that document, then, post Constitution the dangers of not having overriding principles to guide our government, then, without individual rights where the government could take us as a people, which is straight into some state-ordered lockdown of healthy people over a middling pandemic of a virus that is eminently treatable with Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc.
Look at it another way, as a test of state power. It doesn’t matter that Donald Trump is president, DeBlasio is a mayor and can tell citizens of NYC how much soda to drink. We are at a point where the communists feel their oats, are sure that the power of the state will be seen as the hero of the pandemic and Americans will beg for more to “stay safe.” The communists cheer on every infection, get giddy over massive unemployment rates caused by the lockdown; their sense of reality is shockingly twisted in breathless anticipation of winning the presidency to the point they don’t even care what sort of imbecile they put in the Oval Office. Why? Because the communists plan to run the office through Google and Facebook anyway. The consortium presidency. They are on the verge of getting what they need, what they want, what they have always expected to get, which is a communist-run United States of America. But, what they are going to get, even if they win, is a broke, defeated, deflated withering balloon image of the United States of America, one that will have to be rebuilt after the damage caused by this panic-stricken shut down of the American economic engine that derived its power from capitalism, even the heavily regulated, state-controlled capitalism of the past thirty years.
Not to mention we are right now one sustained electric blackout away from total anarchy, something previous generations would have shrugged at and lit a kerosene lamp. Today, that would be the end of entertainment, the end of working remotely, the end of heat and air conditioning in places like Phoenix, that could never have grown to their size without it. The water stops pumping and the urbanite hordes that ravaged the distant smaller towns for toilet paper will meet armed resistance this time. But, the question is not what is going to happen and how it is going to happen so much as what are we going to do after that? I’m sorry, but when the head of the FDIC comes out to explain not to worry about deposits, you had better start worrying about your deposits. After multiple $2 Trillion dollar payouts, what exactly are they going to protect your deposits with? It is not an OMG moment to recognize the absolute insanity of the present time and try to relay that to people who read this blog, the people I actually care about.
I have not batted an eye at any of this, yet. This is the apocalyptic event we have all been prepping for over the past decade. I have a plan and a strategy and if the bank accounts went to zero tomorrow, I have a plan. If the power goes out, I have a plan. If the water stops running, I have a plan. If they shut down movement from one place to another, I have a plan. More importantly, however, the purpose of 12 Round Enterprises, is to have a plan for after that to counter the communists who intend to sweep in and take control during the chaos, largely through media narratives, propaganda and bullying tactics, you know, the way they govern. It may very likely be in an apocalyptic landscape where the means of communication are limited and compromised, but can be commandeered and pirated if necessary.
