Our adversaries can’t quite believe their good fortune. Had they thought up ways to divide and impoverish America, they could not have improved on our own collective meltdown.
This Fourth of July holiday we might pause for a moment from our festivities to ask how we collectively lost our minds over the last 15 months—and are we yet regaining any semblance of our sanity?
A pandemic caused by the leak of a Chinese-engineered virus and its coverup was cause enough for nationwide madness. But the spread of COVID–19 was followed by a nationalized and often politicized “flatten-the-curve” quarantine that soon ensured a stir-crazy nation. Tens of millions saw no people, and heard nothing human other than what was fed to them through television and computers. No wonder they grew paranoid, conspiratorial, and angry, and soon forgot the therapeutic nature of personal interaction and the shared humanity of being in the physical presence of others.
Our first self-induced recession came next and lasted over a year, destroying all the hard work of the prior three years. Next ensued the death of George Floyd and a subsequent 120 days of rioting, looting, and arson. The immediate costs were $2 billion in damage, over 25 deaths, 14,000 arrests, and a Lord of the Flies anarchy with no-go zones in our major cities. A McCarthyite frenzy followed, as remote-controlled America hunted down the supposed “racists” among us—while career agendas, personal grudges, and ideological hatred fueled the cancel culture.
All this was antecedent to our first election in which Election Day voting was incidental, not essential, to the outcome. This was also our first presidential campaign in which the incumbent was stricken by a pandemic virus. And his opponent, due to his age and infirmity, simply reverted to the 19th century style of staying home

Global warming, COVID lockdowns, BLM/CRT are all parts of the communist orchestrated crisis that we are being bombarded with. People without sound educational foundations are probably overwhelmed. That is the plan.
I like VDH a lot, but he seems to just not grasp that our adversaries did think up these ways to divide and impoverish America.
This didn't "just happen".
Our political class here at home hates America and is working with our adversaries to bring us down. Seems pretty damn obvious to me.
That was an outstanding article. Well worth an entire read. Thanks for posting it.
You must not have read the whole article.
Why wasn’t the whole article posted?
VDH is distinguishing efforts by the ChiComs abroad and the domestic fifth column within.
Is Antifa working for the ChiComs? Are the BLM Marxists?
No, these are funded and backed by Leftists here.
As always, VDH nails it.
“Why wasn’t the whole article posted?”
I don’t know what the poster had in mind but, in my opinion, it was posted properly. I see no problem in having to give a hit to what looks like a pretty good web site in order to read the whole thing. I intend to explore it further.
The word "leak" carries an implication of being accidental. The word "release" is more encompassing to include either accidental or deliberate.
TREASON!
“...and when Bill Gates believes that in the midst of the pandemic, a lying China had done “a lot of things right in the beginning,” we can conclude America’s richest are placing their bets on a Chinese-Communist controlled 21st century, and will adjust accordingly.”
So we can cut America some slack when we ponder why the entire country is now descending into a collective madness

Everywhere you look the country’s a dysfunctional mess. And getting worse by the day.
The Republican Party has made its own contribution to the mess we’re in by refusing to stand up for our principles and fight the Democrats. They share in the blame.
You are correct. VDH accurately tabulates the series of reverses and subversions we have faced and are facing but is reluctant to connect the dots. In listing many of the people responsible he is willing to name names, but shrinks from naming the crimes.
60 years ago I read a book called None Dare Call it Treason. It was considered a fringe right wing tract, and disregarded by almost everyone. Yet, like an Ayn Rand novel, we are living it today.
Precisely this. If you don't know where you came from, you can hardly grasp where you're headed. Exactly as Gramsci envisioned. Chaos and conquer.
Such Republicans can be referred to as "deserters."
RINOcrats who join with Demonicrats in their efforts to destroy the United States are traitors.
Most of the Republican Party are RINOs. Some are just more visible than others.
