Things you never thought you&#8217;d see have become nearly commonplace: shuttered stores and restaurants, huge loss of jobs (<em>not<\/em> discounting the recent 1.9 million back at work now), and a massive wave of illness that is possible to cure &#8211; soon, we all hope. And it happened when no one was looking, as if space aliens had landed and started spraying &#8220;stuff&#8221; everywhere.\u00a0 How much of this is real (CV-19 is, the recession is) and how much was cooked up in a few minutes (riots, looting,\u00a0destruction) by radicals who would put Ayers and Dorn to shame?<\/p>\n<p>This article from Business Insider relays info that FBI \u201ccould not find any evidence that Antifa are terrorists\u201d. Uh, just what <em>is<\/em> the Feebies definition of &#8220;terrorist&#8221;? Bad question, but they also ignored reports about a plan to bomb the Boston Marathon a few years back.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/fbi-no-intelligence-antifa-weekend-violence-george-floyd-protests-2020-6\">https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/fbi-no-intelligence-antifa-weekend-violence-george-floyd-protests-2020-6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A statement like that &#8220;no evidence&#8221; bit is one that I find suspicious. This ain\u2019t the 1960s when radical groups were infiltrating draft protests to commit violent and destructive acts.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, there is a reason behind \u201cno evidence\u201d by the FBI: it\u2019s possible that they are part and parcel of it. Or maybe J. Edgar&#8217;s personal paranoias got into their heads.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/theconservativetreehouse.com\/2020\/06\/07\/fbi-pledges-allegiance-to-black-lives-matter-antifa-nation-of-islam-and-new-black-panthers-protesters\/\">https:\/\/theconservativetreehouse.com\/2020\/06\/07\/fbi-pledges-allegiance-to-black-lives-matter-antifa-nation-of-islam-and-new-black-panthers-protesters\/<\/a> \u00a0These are all radical groups and the Feebies are pledging allegiance to them.<\/p>\n<p>However, \u201cThe Nation\u201d indicates that there is involvement by a far right social media group which is posting calls for people to attack FBI agents and use automatic weapons against protesters.\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/activism\/antifa-trump-fbi\/\">https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/activism\/antifa-trump-fbi\/<\/a> \u00a0 Now, that is something I do take seriously, even though a lot of information is redacted from that document.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, Life Site News has published a letter protesting the attempts to suppress valid rights such as freedom of worship by the lefties, both here and in other countries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/opinion\/archbishop-viganos-powerful-letter-to-president-trump-eternal-struggle-between-good-and-evil-playing-out-right-now\">https:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/opinion\/archbishop-viganos-powerful-letter-to-president-trump-eternal-struggle-between-good-and-evil-playing-out-right-now<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I really do want to see how this is all going to play out. There was a lot of skullduggery going on in WDC in the 60s, and the results were Ellsberg&#8217;s &#8220;The Pentagon Papers&#8221;, the break-in at his shrink&#8217;s office, and finally, Nixon&#8217;s crowning achievement: the break-in at the Watergate Hotel, and a list of White House enemies (because they voted Democrat), which included an elderly woman who had sent $1 to the Democratic National Committee for McGovern&#8217;s campaign. It destroyed whatever credibility, never mind his career, that\u00a0 Tricky Dick might have had and turned the New York Times into the NY Slimes &#8211; what they are today, only much more obnoxious and self-important than they were back then.\u00a0 As long as I can watch from the sidelines or an apartment window, or even from the 50th floor of some Downtown Office Building, it might be worth a few minutes of time to see how this plays 0ut&#8230; or not.<\/p>\n<p>When you get a little too inflated with your own vanity and too smugly self-important, the results can be and frequently are the opposite of what was expected. Frankly, I&#8217;m not sure just who IS the perp in the events we&#8217;ve been watching during the past few months. There was no reason to put everyone, with no warning at all, into what amounts to complete loss of everything from jobs that are likely gone for good to sudden poverty from lost wages and near-complete isolation from other humans.<\/p>\n<p>Just so you are aware, that $600 per week, a subsidy for unemployment compensation that was part of the first stimulus package, ends in July and may or may not be restored.<\/p>\n<p>There was absolutely zero reason to slam the door on a thriving economy\u00a0 and create an economic recession out of whole cloth in the blink of an eye. It is not how you keep people &#8220;safe&#8221;.\u00a0 It is especially tacky since reports are now coming to the surface that Cuomo&#8217;s decision to send elderly people to nursing homes that were already infested with people (residents <em>and<\/em> care givers, both) who were afflicted with CV-19 was to get money out of the government.<\/p>\n<p>To drive this home further, in 2018, financial analysts were already forecasting a mild recession to start some time in 2020. A mild recession does not pound a thriving economy right into the ground, therefore, the fact that this recession has been so devastating to the general populace in so many ways, stirs a normal amount of suspicion about it&#8217;s real origins. The analysts were pushing the recession out to 2021, but the Fed pushed it out to 2022, and now, the length of time has been extended to 2023 before it ends. And it won&#8217;t be solely in this country; it will be global, so plan accordingly. We aren&#8217;t really back in business just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s almost been like going down the rabbit hole, hasn&#8217;t it?
