Rejecting the Status Quo Is the Only Way to Survive
American Thinker ^ | 10 Jun, 2024 | J.B. Shurk

Can men give birth? Do cow farts cause tornadoes? Must “disinformation” tsars censor words to protect free speech? Should Democrats jail opponents in order to save “democracy”? If you listen to the propaganda press, these are some of the most important queries of our time. It feels as if we’ve fallen down Lewis Carroll’s rabbit hole or entered the absurdist plot of a Tom Robbins or Kurt Vonnegut novel. How can we make sense of our increasingly senseless world?

America’s dean of word wizardry, Mark Twain, once quipped, “Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.” Boy, was he right! For years we’ve been bouncing around in a pinball universe designed by Orwell, Huxley, and Bradbury. When the government isn’t policing our language or arresting little old grandmothers for engaging in wrongthink, it’s busy helping Mexican drug-smugglers hook Americans on Chinese fentanyl and encouraging young boys to chop off their willies. The Gestapo FBI spends most of its time hunting patriots as “domestic terrorists” and orchestrating elaborate entrapment schemes to justify bloated budgets. The Josef Mengeles at the CDC work to create new diseases that will require experimental “cures.” The Department of (in)Justice can’t stop locking up Americans for their political beliefs while lecturing the country about the importance of thwarting tyranny. So much insanity now grips the United States that the great dystopian novels of the last century appear downright tame by comparison!

The easiest way to navigate this Kafkaesque environment is to follow a simple rule: whatever the government says, believe the opposite. Obama promised that socialized medicine would lower health care costs without benefiting illegal aliens; a decade and a half later, the only people who can afford Obamacare are the illegal aliens...

As long as we're willing to pay the leftist media to entertain us even as they lie about is and incite violence against us, this will continue no matter what else we do.

Cut the cord now. Your future self will thank you.

WHAT? cut the cord and miss all the fun? at the end of the day there’s only one place to turn and one question to ask...”Do You believe IN God or do You BELIEVE God?”. a simple question one You can honestly answer. as me and my house, We BELIEVE God, know where this is all going and have no worries about it. me and wifey have a little joke about the state of the world...the Only reason we stick around is to see what happens next! seriously, don’t just believe IN God, BELIEVE God. amen.

J. B. Shurk presents his realization of what everyone should know by now. Do we have to wake up, one person at a time? And then what?
It’s getting tiresome, listening to recitations of the problem. Let’s get to the remedies.
Ok, let’s wait until November, then we will go vote. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
