Certain, select movies have a place in history. They occupy that place because serious, ethic-minded screenplays often explore both the nobility and the depravity of mankind. The idea behind probing the human condition is to learn from mistakes and potentially make the world a better place. Good luck with that, Matilda. With regard to depravity, Washington D.C. is conspicuously fertile ground. You hear, read and witness accounts of Beltway wickedness in mammoth proportions, so wicked that basic Trust has been relegated to an ash heap somewhere. So blogs like this one join the avalanche of opinion that interpret political issues, as if the act of analyzing itself will shed light and magically make the pain go away. Wish on. Meanwhile, dozens of think tanks publish studies, dozens of pundits give speeches and dozens write books — all of which state the obvious and eventually solve — nothing. Nothing. The question is why. The subject comes up repeatedly in social gatherings and at civic pow wows. Why does criminal conduct by high ranking officials in high places go unpunished? Mercy, mercy, a crook may even be elected President. Why? Every slob on the street wants to know why. Why conscientious, principled members of Congress don’t sweep out their vermin and why elected and appointed officials are not held accountable for their sins. A screenwriter nobody ever heard of tells you why in four simple sentences. You mention him often. His name is Jonathan Lemkin. The film is Shooter, a story of Government sponsored corruption. Someone asks the question: “Who is responsible?” The answer is unequivocal — a hammer on the anvil:

There is no head to cut off. It’s a conglomerate. If one of them betrays the principles of the accrual of money and power, the others betray him. What it is, is human weakness.

What it is, Clyde, is blackmail. There you have it. No one in high places is squeaky clean. You can walk and talk courageously for the cameras but leave your big stick in the closet. For example, Trump named names and paid the price. Condemn, and you will be condemned. At the end of the day, keeping your seat at the table prevails over principle.

So pick your pet issue. Any issue. You will find that the accrual of money and power is the motive behind it. Every time. BLM has nothing to do with saving Black lives or elevating Black destiny. CRT (Critical Race Theory)has nothing to do with education, understanding or unification. Biden’s resumption of the Paris Agreement and other climate-based agendas has nothing to do with science. The U.S. immigration policy that allows open borders and illegal immigration has nothing to do with compassion and human rights. The selective COVID lockdowns had nothing to do with pandemic health concerns. Conversely, all of these issues have everything to do with the Biden Regime feeding frenzy that is committed to undo everything Trump — to seize and permanently sew up power. As Federal Government power escalates with impunity, individual freedom dwindles. And that, ladies and gents, is the preeminent issue — the only issue — upon which the American Republic rests. Forget everything else. Forget every issue because every issue is one more political power grab. Every issue is a smokescreen designed to take your eye off the real agenda — which is to marginalize the individual. Keep that allegation on your front burner if you can. Because America — The Idea — is under all-out siege. The American structure itself — codified under the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution — is dedicated to The Idea that changed civilization — The Idea conceived and consecrated by Christ Jesus — that the lowest mortals among you are as exalted as the most elevated — a prophecy resurrected 17 centuries later with the words of Thomas Jefferson — “all men are created equal . . .” Christian haters, Marxists, want to erase these words from America’s history. They tear down statues, terrorize cities, foment racism and indict the Founders as white supremacists. When will America finally decide to kick this latest version of Marxist trash to the side of the road? When will America sweep up the muck and take it to the landfill? When you stand up and announce you are sovereign — that you are the crux of American exceptionalism — that you carry a “spark of divinity” within you. When, regardless of your origin, you recognize that the basis of American greatness is the Christian ethic.

Christ died for it.

Many millions of judgmental Americans must bow their heads and admit they have been wrong. These critics, you among them, are guilty of unmercifully excoriating Joe Biden and the Democrat Party for socialistic policies. You must now acknowledge the President’s daring display of political integrity — the generosity of his spirit. Always selfless, Mr. Biden has set aside politics and modest self interest to make a humanitarian decision — to instruct the FDA to ban the production and sale of fried chicken and a beverage known as “grape drank” — allegedly the food of choice of Black America. Courageously, Mr. Biden is the first President in your lifetime, and perhaps in U.S. history, to suggest publicly that Black Americans do not have the intellect and self discipline to manage their hazardous food intake. You can understand Mr. Biden’s perspective. It is a parent’s perspective. How many times, as a parent, might Mr. Biden have prevented his innocent children from making poor decisions? How many times might he have said to them, “Kids, this home is not a democracy.” Like millions of other parents, he, like you, was a benevolent dictator, making decisions for offspring who could not be trusted to make decisions for themselves — they lacking the requisite intelligence, experience and self-control. If Black Americans do not reject unhealthy food, what other needless blunders are they making or will they make? You can’t be certain, but the President’s fried chicken initiative may finally bring a realization to all Americans — that from America’s inception, the idea of individual sovereignty was a fated, idealistic experiment — that the Bill of Rights could only lead to a free people making flawed choices — that individual freedom could never lead to equal outcomes. Or to true fairness. Or to a level playing field. And could never eliminate the painful imbalances in society. Mr. Biden’s message is clear. Most of America’s problems — inequality, systemic racism, poverty, obesity, physical suffering, police brutality, ignorance, oppression, unemployment — are tied directly to social injustice and severe lack of vigorous governmental oversight. Banning menthol cigarettes, fried chicken and grape soda is a tiny step — just a beginning — in righting many, many wrongs. Many Black Americans will protest being treated as ignorant; but in time, they will do what they’ve always done. They will listen to “their betters” — their Democrat betters who are dedicated to doing for Black communities what those communities cannot do for themselves. Mr. Biden might say that America’s best and brightest in Washington should have a role in all consumer choices by repealing a Constitution that has no relevance in 2021; and draft a new covenant that puts fairness ahead of fame and tolerance over triumph. Mr. Biden has a sense of global synergy — the cooperation necessary to save the planet and share resources. Even more critical, he understands that America simply is not able to flourish in a global society that puts individual attainment ahead of collective success. The detestable, individual craving to win can only come at the expense of those who lose. Like all true leaders, Mr. Biden will expect some vigorous push back to his benevolent oversight. But, as a successful spouse and parent, he is determined to supervise the behaviors of all segments of U.S. society — to create uniform standards across neighborhoods, cities and States. He has chosen Black Americans for his beta test, recognizing their addictive nature, frivolous culture and inability to make strides on their own. Eventually, therefore, all businesses, all products and all individuals, will necessarily be subject to a Federal Oversight Commission charged with eradicating inequity, inequality and iniquity. It’s a tall order, even for a giant mind. Not a job for the chickenhearted.

The vaccine issue in America needs some discussion. Not enough has been said by enough experts. Not enough speculation. Not enough suspicion. Not enough promotion. Not enough suppression. Not enough explanation. You wish Brad Pitt and Taylor Swift would give you the benefit of their brilliant insights. Last you heard, something over 130 million Americans have welcomed at least one shot. Like celebrities, some proudly wear badges. Last time you checked, the number of confirmed Covid cases stood at 31,350,025, with 561,921 deaths. That statistic means 98.3% of infected people did not die. Hold your judgment, please. Now pick an agency — any agency — to estimate the number of actual Covid cases in America. The answer is somewhere between 3-9 times the 31+ million. To be conservative, pick 3% and a more realistic number of America’s infections is closer to 100 million, accompanied by the same 561,921 deaths. If the math is accurate, that statistic means 99.994 percent of infected Americans did not die. Well, Matilda, tell that to the families who lost a loved one. If there is truth in numbers, the elderly (65-up) represent over 75% of fatalities. If you include the 50-up group, the figure is a whopping 94%. But the CDC reports that the “vast majority of those admitted to intensive care (78%) had at least one underlying health condition, such as hypertension, diabetes, pulmonary disease or obesity.” The undeniable fact is this — Covid targets the aged and the unwell. Even so, you dare not gloss over the fact that Covid took the lives of some young, healthy people — called outlier victims — and no expert knows why.

Statistics tell you what. But they don’t tell you why.

Why do Government agencies and Media spread panic that Covid is a death sentence?

Why doesn’t the Government and Media routinely promote Vitamin D & C and Zinc to help build immunity?

Why do Government and Media produce a barrage of ads to push everyone to take an experimental vaccine — the first of its kind?

Why do Government and Media proclaim that the vaccines are safe when no one really knows about the long term efficacy?

Why are Government and Media allowed to produce TV advertising promoting Covid vaccines without the side effect disclaimers listed for all other advertised drugs?

Why does Government and Media suppress the testimony of reputable physicians who are using repurpose drugs successfully to treat Covid?

Why does Government prohibit pharmacies from filling doctor prescriptions for repurpose drugs — drugs used worldwide?

Why doesn’t Government and Media report the plans and expectations for Covid booster shots?

Just say it. You don’t trust Government, especially when it and Big Business and Big Media sing from the same song sheet. So far, people are free to choose. Based on experience in 2020 and 2021, you doubt that freedom will survive. Covid is the ideal justification — a pretext — to complete the Federal takeover of the Healthcare Industry — what is fondly known as Socialized Medicine. Giant, private healthcare networks are already falling in line. If that reality comes to pass, kiss your self determination and free will goodbye. Can’t happen in America? Get real.
