Three Big Lies will soon doom the current regime.
Tuesday night at LewRockwell, I read a terrific article that laid out a plausible near future for our declining nation, “The Three-Way Squeeze” by James Howard Kunstler. Conservatives and libertarians really ought to read it. Those disgusted and horrified by the state of our nation will take heart at Kunstler’s opening line:
Here is why the “Joe Biden” regime only has a few months to live: it is caught in a squeeze between some of the greatest lies in world history, and they’re all unraveling now.
Kunstler then explains the three Big Lies that he feels will soon doom the current regime. The first Big Lie concerns the government’s handling of the pandemic. He touches on Dr. Fauci’s involvement in and funding of the Wuhan lab, the medical bureaucrats squashing of therapeutics, like HCQ, and the adverse effects of the COVID vaccines, which aren’t getting a lot of press.
Kunstler’s Big Lie No. 2 concerns the presidential election which he thinks was fraudulently “won.” This second lie is where we get some delicious “red meat”: the Arizona vote audit of the November election. We learn that other states are going to Arizona to observe their audit. You’ll love this section.
The third Big Lie concerns the economic recovery. Kunstler thinks that since the 2008 financial meltdown, the U.S. economy has been “held together with the baling wire and duct tape of Federal Reserve money games and… government fiscal recklessness.” Kunstler thinks that we will soon have to admit that there won’t be a true recovery and that we are entering what he calls “the long emergency.” No cyclical depression is on the menu, I’m afraid. It’s more sobering than that.

The society that they are striving to “manage the decline into dependency” might just collapse right onto their pointy heads.
We are definitely living in interesting times.
Nice try but missed the mark on a lot of things.
It’s odd, yet predictable, what the media has done to us. As things worsen, and our precarious national opinion becomes more apparent, the media goes into top censor mode. We have left wing media, supported by left wing fact checking, balanced by big tech filtering of the internet searches, and AI feeding us what we want to see. The illusion is so great, that most Americans have stepped out of reality.
Sure, there are indicators that they have been placed into illusion. On the left, they were convinced that Trump was with the Russians. Then convinced he Obstructed Justice. Convinced Trump would destroy the economy. Convinced Trump broke campaign finance. Convinced Trump was a fascist. Convinced Trump was crazy that China was responsible for the virus. Convinced that other medications like ivermectin didn’t work. Absolutely sure Joe Biden wasn’t impaired. They had no doubt that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian propaganda. This was the most legitimate election in history.
These things should be asked of any liberal, how many do they believe? Why do they believe them?
For me, the questions I have all seem only possible if our intelligence agencies have been corrupted to a point that we no longer have a functional republic. We aren’t fighting with democrats, we have democrats that don’t understand that it’s citizens versus government.
Still waiting for Killary/Comey/Sztrok/Brennan/Clapper et al to face justice...
Another brick in the wall of a future that has arrived:
forgot to mention the big lie of “global warming” unraveling also eventually.
I've never seen nor heard of the word in the title "Limn." But apparently it is legitimate.
Excellent post. I have come to the reluctant but certain conclusion that our alphabet agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA etc.) are thoroughly corrupt and they completely own the corrupted MSM. They own the tech lords who are leveraged under threat of break up or removal of legal protection.
What remains puzzling is how so many in this society are so easily and willingly committed to being mislead. They no longer think critically. They no longer are capable of reason or logic. Their “team” at MSNBC or CNN promotes whatever outrageous, illogical idea, such as defund the police, and they are all on board. It is truly bizarre.
I routinely engage with people from different sectors of different communities. I honestly believe that what we see in the news, what we get from the progressives, and what the vast majority of people really think are at odds with what is portrayed. There is probably only about 15% of adults who subscribe to all this progressive crap, true there are many who grab the government hand outs but most people believe the woke crowd are just plain crazy. Now many also believe the elections were stolen, including Georgia senate run offs. We are going to see a couple years of hard economic times no doubt. The focus will shift from being woke to how do I eat. Inner city folks are tired of crime and will start to take matters into their own hands. Election integrity will get fixed. It won’t be fixed overnight. I recall the Jimmy Carter years and the 2008 economy. The pendulum will swing back. Parents are starting to awaken to higher education indoctrination they are noticing school boards that are wacked. The snowball has started to roll.
I have faith in Americans. We, collectively will not sit back and let the 15% determine our future.
"How it will play-out is anybody’s guess. Mine is that, one way or another, some military caretaker administration may have to interrupt the 232-year-long cavalcade of governance led by legitimately-elected presidents."
Must have roots in the word "illuminate".

Exactly. First used in 1592.

———The problem is simple. The world is full of idiots and stupid people. And among the stupid people are many self-serving people that manage to get other stupid people to vote for them.
By my observation, and while I don’t know you or anyone here at FR, i would sanely argue that you, and even the worst of anyone that you could find on FR,are NOT idiots, and perhaps not smart, you are absolutely not stupid. Stupid people don’t bother having conversations of consequence. They talk entertainment, MSM pap, sports, leaving the devious stupid to ‘lead’.
There are more and more Stupid People every day. And there are more ‘smart’ Evil people than smart Good people.
And finally, some of the Smart people become so smart that they have a liberal thought or two, and they become stupid.
People that INSIST that they are Smart, Sane, and Fair generally are NOT.
Those that ARE Smart, Sane, and Fair generally don’t have to point it out to others.
Government schools teach students what to think, not how to think - and we are in our third generation of this. I'm surprised the trash still gets picked up on Fridays.
Good article by Kunstler - but I fear he is underestimating the degree to which many Americans find the three big lies comforting (like masks and lockdowns) and simply refuse to let go of believing in them.
I believe it has to do with the edge of a shadow, or the edge of an eclipse, but I’m too damn lazy to look it up.
