MY "SILVER BULLET" THEORY
As our economy and social fabric deteriorate at an accelerated rate even as the Chinese virus itself runs its normal course into irrelevance as a significant threat to health, I woke early this morning with a clear picture of why our beloved country is failing, and of what must be done to literally save our precious Republic. Please indulge what I think is a powerful visual analogy as I go through this brief analysis; I will do my best to avoid a lot of the details that we have already covered in other posts.
America is under a potentially fatal attack not so much by the virus as by our foreign and significantly more powerful domestic enemies. The objective of our foreign adversary, China, is to hurt America economically. In just six short weeks China has been unbelievably successful in crippling America’s economy, and has done so with very little effort. We (as did the West, except for Sweden) did this to ourselves through the lockdown of America, not from the threat of a virus, but from what has been proved to be our irrational fear of a virus … our gross overreaction to a perceived threat.
However, this terrible mistake is not a fatal blow. Our economy will recover, eventually, although not without a great deal of pain and suffering and, in 32 underdeveloped countries identified in a recent United Nations study, not without mass starvation brought on by famine resulting from the lockdown of the West.
No, the far greater and potentially fatal threat to our Republic and to our unique traditional American values comes from America’s Democrat/Left which has discovered a way to achieve its stated, long-term objective of “fundamentally transforming the United States of America”, presumably into some form of European-style socialism on steroids. As was the case with China’s plan, the Democrat/Left’s plan is unfortunately being executed brilliantly. Now for the visual analogy …
You see, what the Democrat/Left has discovered is the “silver bullet”. The Chinese virus is merely the trigger, the lockdown of America represents the weapon itself and the resulting unchecked and unchallengeable uber-Constitutional executive orders of the governors represents the firing pin. But the “silver bullet” is the key; and although the Democrat/Left has likely known of its existence for decades, they have not had an opportunity to use it, knowing they are only going to get one shot with it.
What this “silver bullet” represents is the innate need of most Americans – including so very many Americans on the Right – to “feel safe”. This compelling need to “feel safe” is the key here. The need to “feel safe” is a powerful aphrodisiac … so very powerful indeed! The driving need to “feel safe” has caused many formerly patriotic, America- and liberty-loving citizens on the Right to set aside every principle and every fear or concern for our Republic they have had for much of their lives, and which has so crippled their ability to step away from the incessant panic and hysteria over a virus which has displaced their rationality with emotion. As a result, far too many of our respected allies on the Right have willingly embraced the objective of the Democrat/Left to replace our traditional American values of E Pluribus Unum, In God We Trust and Liberty with some sort of guaranteed “safety”.
The Democrat/Left’s brilliant strategy is being accomplished with very little effort. They have successfully converted a large number of people on the Right to support their America-destroying plan without these converts, in their continuing haze of irrational fear of the virus, even realizing they have done so.
You must understand that the Democrat/Left’s “silver bullet” has been fired right at the heart of our American Republic, our Constitution and Bill of Rights, our traditional American values and at the heart of liberty. It’s too late for us to dodge the bullet; instead it must either be deflected (which is only a temporary solution as there will very soon be another compelling reason for the need to “feel safe” and to justify ever-expanding tyranny) or, a far better remedy, it must be stopped in its tracks! But to do this will take incredibly strong leadership (are you listening President Trump?; are you listening vice-president Pence?; are you listening Mr. McConnell?; are you listening conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court?). Because of the thinning of the ranks of patriotic Americans who are now – unwittingly, unintentionally, or otherwise in denial they are doing so – supporting the Democrat/Left’s plan, this will also require incredible strength, dogged persistence and an unshakeable commitment and will to defeat America’s powerful domestic enemy to save our Republic from the horrors of totalitarianism.
Time is very short. The “silver bullet” has been fired right at America’s heart and the enemies of America are cheering it onward, enthusiastic in their confidence that it does what it has been designed to do. The battle for America is waged and I calculate we have less than a few weeks to turn this around or our traditional American values and our Republic will be consigned to history.
What a wonderful essay. I think you are exactly right.
Because of the thinning of the ranks of patriotic Americans who are now – unwittingly, unintentionally, or otherwise in denial they are doing so – supporting the Democrat/Left’s plan...
That is a message to all Fearpers everywhere. I've been trying to tell 'em this. On their Fearperness as well as on their Anti-Q-ness and their incessant whining and complaining over Donald Trump's PLAN.
They are riding the derp state horse over the cliff with the rest of the lemmings. It's more disturbing than watching people who you expect to be indoctrinated sheep to see your own people, right on everything else, destroy themselves and that which they love, America.
I'm glad you get it, Glennaro. I wish more people would listen.
