The first two installments were about things we must keep. Let’s look at something that has to go. One word for it might be idealism. For lack of a better term, I’ll call it gullibility. It’s the willingness to give those in charge the benefit of the doubt when it comes to their intentions. The recent COVID debacle is a prime example. The various health agencies and the drug companies probably in concert with the intelligence agencies and the media came up with a plan to shut the country down during an election year and then force us to take a dangerous experimental drug all while shutting down dissent in the media and social media.
And half of the country adopted the plan like sheep and the other half were hounded out of their careers and demonized by the government. And the truth about the disease and the “cure” were hidden for many months while the whole country went through chaos and economic and emotional turmoil. And after all that no one was held accountable and nothing was acknowledged about the disastrous decisions that were made.
We can no longer give the people in charge the benefit of the doubt. If they screw up, we have to assume that they are either stupid or criminal. And in either case they must be held accountable. At the very least we need to fire them. So that means if Trump comes back to the White House what we must demand is that he fires every single idiot responsible for the COVID debacle. And he needs to set up a special prosecutor to punish these people. And the prosecutor needs to be in a jurisdiction where there won’t be a bunch of blue city jurors and the prosecutor can’t be a regime toady.
And Trump himself owes us an apology for being a gullible fool himself. In fact, if he wasn’t the only hope for straightening out the mess we’re in, I’d say we should prosecute him for letting Fauci torture us during his term in office. But I’ll cut him some slack. But at the very least everyone in the US government who had anything to do with funding the Wuhan lab needs to be fired and prosecuted.
And a special prosecutor should employ unbiased scientists to review the data on the COVID virus and the vaccines and decide whether the drug companies and the FDA are complicit in the deaths of the people who were injured and died from the use of the vaccines. I have no doubt that some people need to go to prison.
As another example, the George Floyd riots were at least tolerated and possibly abetted by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. And several local and state governments, notably Minneapolis and Minnesota, allowed their citizens to be harassed and in some cases assaulted and killed while a mob stalked the country. This also needs to be investigated and those responsible prosecuted. At the very least, most of the upper echelons of the FBI and the Justice Department need to be cleared out.
After all, the FBI has been unrelenting and brutal in their persecution of the poor souls who dared to protest inside the Capitol building. Harmless people have been imprisoned and some of them forced into suicide for a riot in which no one was armed and no one killed. But the George Floyd riots burned down countless properties and even managed to murder a number of people. And the FBI did nothing to stop it or punish those responsible. Those in charge need to be fired and punished for unequal application of the law.
Finally, the horror show caused by the open border is a crime that must be investigated and punished. If President Trump can be prosecuted for his part in January 6th, then undoubtedly Joe Biden can be punished for allowing our country to be invaded. And the immigration laws must be changed to end the invasion.
In general, we need to hold our leaders and their agents accountable for their actions and inactions. And to do this we have to give up our idealistic ideas about government. We have to stop being so gullible and replace it with mental toughness. The power these people have over our lives is immense. It’s time we started holding them responsible for the immense damage they do.
