The World as I See It: You Never Know When Mass Stupidity Will Strike, and You Can Never Plan For It!

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”- J.R.R. Tolkien

George Carlin once said, “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” 

To get a clear understanding of that statement understand the average I.Q. is 90. When you break that down from the highest to the lowest, we find half of the population really is dumber, which of course explains the mass stupidity America has embraced over this fraudulent coronavirus scare, the masks, the lockdowns, the destroyed businesses, along with the disastrous health issues caused by these actions, and most importantly, this fraudulent election.

Then, we have a totally corrupt and stupid man, with serious neurological problems entering the White House with a Vice President that's as stupid and corrupt as he, and it's happening due to a very provable case of massive voter fraud and a conspiracy to commit voter fraud, and the Supreme Court won't hear the case, and state courts are refusing to enforce laws passed by the legislature regarding voting procedures on their states in spite of the fact the Constitution clearly states only the state legislatures can make the rules for voting in their states.  

Neither the governor, or any other state officials or bureaucrats can alter whatever laws the legislature passed regarding elections in their States.  That prerogative belongs solely to the Legislature, and the legislature alone.  Any changes must be authorized by them, and yet, we saw local and state election officials changing the rules to meet their particular political agenda and the state and federal courts refused to act according to the law. 

Unfortunately, you just never know when mass stupidity will strike, and you can't plan for it. But one thing is clear, the media play a major role in inflaming mass stupidity when it does strike.

Personally, I deplore the putrid state into which our newspapers have passed and the malignity, the vulgarity and the mendacious spirit of those who write for them. These ordures are rapidly depraving the public taste and lessening its relish for sound food. 

As vehicles of information and a curb on our functionaries, they have rendered themselves useless by forfeiting all title to belief.  This has, in a great degree, been produced by the violence and malignity of party spirit.

Oh, by the way, as much as I would like to take credit for that last two paragraphs, but those aren't my words.  They certainly represent my thoughts, but those were the thoughts and words expressed by Thomas Jefferson describing the abuses of a free press in 1814 in a letter to his friend Walter Jones

Nothing has changed, nor it will ever change, regarding the lack of integrity in the media! It has been so from their founding, and will continue to be so until the end of time.  But right now, today, because of modern communications, they have more easily, and more thoroughly, corrupted the nation's perception of reality with the stench of their morality, and stunning level of hypocritical ignorance.   

Worse yet, they work diligently to prevent anyone from exposing their perfidy!  As an example, Big Tech has (hopefully temporarily) destroyed Parler, a conservative open social media site as a counter balance to Twitter, Facebook, LinkidIn, Amazon, etc.  YouTube suspended One America News Network channel for what they're calling misinformation violations for COVID-19 policy, and since it's misinformation, it must be censored. That's a convenient way of saying anything that disagrees with the leftist agenda, AKA, free speech, is misinformation, or hate speech, or promotes violence. 

Yet they have little trouble promoting outright lies.  Somehow these purveyors of moral self-righteousness don't seem to think those lies count, provided of course lies promote false leftist narratives.  

We really are facing George Orwell's 1984, where we're being forced to accept "newspeak", which is "deliberately ambiguous and contradictory language used to mislead and manipulate the public", in short, twisting language to corrupt thought, with the House of Representatives voting to ban, eliminate, or removing gender-specific language from use in the U.S. House of Representatives. 

Dinesh D’Souza said that, under the proposals: “Suddenly you’re not allowed, in House communications, to refer to fathers or mothers or grandfathers or grandmothers or brothers or sisters, or even stepsons or stepdaughters or father-in-laws [sic] or mother-in-laws [sic]. The whole gendered vocabulary is essentially abolished.”

Mass stupidity struck!

"War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength", and of course the idea that truth is a lie and lies are the truth, is always at the heart of newspeak in pursuit of leftist goals.

Calling them sewer trout would be an insult to trout, and sewers, since both serve a useful purpose, while the media is in collusion with the left, working to hide the true views of Democrats, and one example is their view of religion.  Their animus toward now Justice Amy Coney Barret was her Catholic faith, as Tucker Carlson noted:

“A lot of Democrats are highly, highly hostile to organized religion and a lot of them deeply resent Amy Coney Barrett for her orthodox Catholicism, but they’ve decided not to say anything about it because it’s an election year, so they’re trying to keep it under wraps,” “It’s a political calculation, obviously. But what do they really think? Privately, Democrats are fixated on Amy Coney Barrett’s religious beliefs, we know that in part because today Dianne Feinstein, the senior senator from California, didn’t realize her mic was on and let the mask slip.”  

Carlson said those remarks were like a “Mazie Hirono impression” in terms of their “sheer incoherence and stupidity.” 

"The big secret in Washington is that a lot of these people dripping with credentials…are actually not very bright." - Leah Barkoukis

 The nation is facing national suicide orchestrated by incredibly stupid people leading incredibly stupid people, working to destroy intelligent people who recognize the disaster on the horizon.  

If we're to believe what the left is demanding, and there's not reason why we shouldn't, we face unbridled immigration, special privileges for select groups, racial and/or social, increases in spending that's going to make yesterday seem frugal, green initiatives that would destroy our energy system, huge increases in taxes, raided retirement funds, regulations that will most likely destroy capitalism, censorship of ideas, and some on the left even want to send conservatives to concentration camps for "re-education", just like Mao did to the Chinese people in the late 60's.   

Best wishes to us all, but I'm not optimistic.  When all this mass stupidity dissipates as a result of  strong doses of reality, we're going to look back and ask: How could we have been so stupid as to let this happen?  

Until then I fear this is going to lead to massively violent demonstrations tearing the nation apart, philosophically, economically and physically.  And we can thank both parties.  The party of Treason and the Stupid party, and this election may alter America beyond fixing, because we no longer have a common view of what America is, what America was, and what America should be. 

This isn't your grandparents America.
