At the culmination of a national health or societal crisis in the United States, it has become de rigueur for the media and innumerable pundits ensconced within the professional class to perform a post-mortem on how the citizenry handled the crisis and what lessons the rubes in fly-over country should have learned. But in the current pandemic, the top levels of professional class that populates the ruling class and runs the media and the major institutional bureaucracies has irretrievably unmasked itself. And the in the postmortems that will come, they will be found deficient.

Credulous Cowards

An immutable tenet of today’s ruling class is that if someone or an institution within their power base is labeled as “experts,” then these authorities are not to be questioned and their assumptions, predictions or projections must be treated as gospel. The century that followed the rise of the Wilsonian progressives, who idolized a powerful government run by educated experts, saw enormous scientific, medical, and industrial achievements the hands of experts, the products of higher education. The professional class, usually products of higher education, grants deference to certified experts, and the media makes celebrities out of those experts that support important goals of the ruling class.

Go figure a screw-ball leftie like Whitmer-—she is selling lotto tickets, banning operations, but is allowing abortions.

Her leftie scheme almost worked. Whitmer colluded to shovel tax dollars to her political allies ....... as people are struggling in the midst of a pandemic.

Tucker Carlson: On Monday, Whitmer’s Health Dept announced a contract with a group called Great Lakes Community Engagement......a company that sees itself as conducting, “outreach campaigns to engage citizens.” In fact, it’s a leftwing activist group linked to Mike Kolehouse, a former Occupy Wall Street type, one of Michigan’s top Democratic political operatives. The company is paid huge sums to collect signatures in support of leftwing ballot initiatives.

Now, Whitmer would force taxpayers to pay them to collect information on citizens’ health.

AND THIS ....the group purports to use software from EveryAction, a company that brags is “the leading technology provider to Democratic and progressive campaigns.” Its software is used by the heinous Planned Parenthood, NextGen Climate, NERAL, the savage National Abortion Rights Action League, among other Whitmer-worshipping groups.

But on Tuesday, Michigan press outlets asked her office, why are you hiring a far leftwing activist to lead a public health initiative in the middle of an emergency?

STOP THE MUSIC All references to the scheme have now been deleted——Kolehouse is in hiding.

Who comes up with these stupid symbolic gestures and what is their true purpose?

To prove who's the biggest virtue signaling Karen in the neighborhood. It's a way for people to still get attention, even when they're too lousy and untalented even for community theater.

I graduated from high school in 1972. My generation was the first to try this sort of crap. I thought it was crap at the time but it was fun and it gave me a chance to talk to girls.

One time we had an event to “feel the pain” of those less fortunate than yourself. We were to do it by dressing up as a person of lesser means to “feel their pain”. I dressed up as a black janitor, complete with blackface. My mom helped me with the whole outfit. I got an A.

But I thought it was stupid and still think so. It cracked me up when my kids did that nonsense in school. And some are still at it even in adulthood.

Everyone here on FR has probably seen Red Cross Boxes of Cash in stead of the supplies under international law. Iran was using their Red Cressent to disguise Ammo Carriers for their 155s during Iran-Iraq war, as was Iraq. It seems the Red Cross/Cressent is just another conduit for the conduct of war or in some cases the intelligence agencies.

Yea, their ruling class is supposedly unmasked for who they are, dupes who rubber stamp other activities.

The Department of State in Washington DC completely leases or rents the Red Cross building across the street frmo the two headquarters for each agency in DC.

I say now is the time to completely clean up compromised international agencies as well as the deep state.

In these days of the Great Lockdown, you will never see a politician, media person, or celebrity who doesn’t have perfectly trimmed hair. And yet as each day passes, I am looking more and more like Albert Einstein.

I guess I’m just not one of the beautiful people with a $20,000 fridge in a kitchen that’s as big as most people’s houses.
