Same Story, Different Ending

Today, the emperor is butt naked while impeccably garbed, he is unqualified for his position and the most eminently capable ruler in modern times, and he is utterly stupid while still his generation’s greatest mind.

Most of us are familiar with the Hans Christian Anderson folktale “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” Two unscrupulous tailors produce a fine suit of clothing for a powerful emperor claiming that it’s invisible to anyone who is unfit for his office or who is unusually stupid. After being presented with the suit, the naked emperor leads a procession through the town where his new clothes are a big hit with the townspeople until a child shouts out the emperor is wearing no clothes. Eventually everyone in town begins to shout the emperor is naked; however, the emperor, who has already begun to believe they may be correct, doubles-down and continues his triumphant walk even more proudly than before.

SNIP

Today charlatans are deceiving the American people with outrageous claims that, if not believed, show you are unfit for your place in society or simply stupid. The exquisite, magical cloth on the loom has been replaced with Critical Race Theory, transgenderism, and Marxism. White children are told racism is embedded in the very fabric or their genetic makeup, that they are irredeemably racist, and their kind is responsible for all the misery in the world. Society is told that it must embrace mental illness and believe girls can be boys and boys can be girls, or cats, or fish, dinosaurs... Capitalism inevitably results in colonialism, poverty, and exploitation.

SNIP

And many of today’s “townsfolk” trust the charlatans and loudly proclaim the ills of society are caused by our failure to embrace this new way of thinking.

And our polite (not like Trump!) new leaders are following the ideas from some of the most brutal, murderous tyrants in history.

The “new way of thinking” is not new at all. Stupid, boorish and imperious tyrants have been pretty much the norm for governance of mankind ever since the dawn of what is termed “civilization”, and it is in only very recent historical times that the principles of a representative republic have been put into practice.

And now, folks that just cannot stand prosperity want us all to revert to this long-held belief that a small oligarchy holds the reins to all wisdom. At least, most of the time, they have put up someone who was charismatic and a little bit articulate, but this time, in a great show of overconfidence, the oligarchy has put forth a bumbling senescent old man almost like a creepy grandparent as a figurehead, and an insensitive, insincere and largely incompetent replacement when he fails altogether in this Kabuki theater production.

There is a lesson to be learned here somewhere, but it is being lost on so many people.

Indeed the emperor is butt naked. He is a drooling, lecherous, scammer whose criminal family has grown wealthy on the back of his ill gained authority. He is the very meaning of corruption and it most blatant practitioner. We are saddled with a fraudulent president who is pursuing a relentless campaign to destroy our nation.
