Now another institution, academia, has sustained a massive hit to its reputation ironically delivered by the FBI whose reputation stands in tatters.
The larger question for us conservatives is, are there any institutions left which we and the nation can trust, especially in a time of national crisis?
I know of none apart from, perhaps, the military. Even there the Left is doing its best to undermine the core ethos of the military by treating it as a Skinner box for its social experimentation resulting in the neutering of our martial arm.
What sensitive American can trust either political party? We conservatives know damn well that the party of Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney are nearly as perfidious as the Democratic Party.
Can we trust our courts, can we placed real faith in the rule of law? We have seen that the Supreme Court has been rewriting the Constitution for decades to the point that it scarcely resembles the original product.
What about our financial institutions? Our banks and our financial centers in Wall Street are really multinational institutions with scarce patriotic identity with the United States. We have seen in the last crash and 2008 the that not only are the banks duplicitous but they were incompetent. We have seen how eager they were to render Hillary Clinton her payola.
What about our eleemosynary institutions? The Ford foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation and virtually all left-wing think tanks have slipped under the control of the left.
Our churches? The Catholic Church is tearing itself apart and its Pope has abandoned traditional Christianity for some form of liberation theology while the rank-and-file are regarded as a cast of pederasts. The evangelical movement is constantly under attack and seems to be inconsistent in its application of dogma to politics. The establishment Protestant church is hardly a church in anything but name. Therefore it is not idle to ask:
Whom do you trust if there is a black Swan event?
