A future history of our end

Far too late for an SOS

Though it provides me some momentary contemporaneous catharsis, this document is meant for the next intelligent species which arises on Earth or the extraterrestrial visitor who arrives and wonders what the hell happened here.

Should these words somehow survive the fall of our civilization and endure until one day discovered by those of another, I don’t ask for understanding or forgiveness—we humans are undeserving of either—but for them to know a civilization of remarkable accomplishment and unlimited promise chose to abandon millennia of societal advancement and needlessly self-implode.

This end is not the result of an asteroid hit or natural disaster. We did this to ourselves. Our sepulcher is fashioned out of stupidity, cupidity, and cowardice. Surely, our species knows better than to actively seek ruination, but too many people don’t—or choose to behave as if they don’t.      

Thus, our fate. Our end.

In theory, these words might perhaps motivate humanity to save itself, and you who read this may wonder why instead the glaringly obvious is ignored, destructive madness is embraced, and so many fools work mightily towards our collective demise.

Theory is a nice thing to contemplate. Reality is the freight train that runs you down, especially when one stands deliberately on the tracks and ignores the desperate warning horn from an incredulous engineer. An important distinction for this record, as a warning to the future: The fools on the tracks somehow managed to force the rest of the world to meekly stand there with them and suffer the same needless fate.

So I did not begin this task with the naïve wish it makes a constructive difference in the here-and-now. I know otherwise. Evidence for this is the fact there are far too many among us who would vehemently disagree with what I discuss here and want me punished for what they insist like hell are heretical notions. They convinced themselves that their cultist evil is virtue. Do not be duped by their shameless gaslighting if a record of it remains. They are inveterate liars and delusional fools. Those of us who oppose them, despite our human flaws and frailties, are far, far better people than they are. They were the ones who destroyed us.   

Therefore, I hope the next apex occupiers of Earth do better. The destiny of any planet containing life is that someone or something there must strive toward the stars. Failing to do that is also a dooming choice, and pathetically so…  

Our future history as a warning

I find myself relegated to the role of chronicler. As I write these words, I’m witnessing our end, aghast at what a dumb end it is, and it leaves me both exasperated and exhausted. I’m the one-eyed man in the land of the blind. I’m not the only one who sees, but far too many others are in possession of two functioning eyes but refuse to see a damn thing.

To some extent I can’t blame decent people who are too busy to see the approach of our end. Decent people are gainfully employed and trying to be responsible parents, neighbors, and citizens. These are not the numbskulls who protest and actively thwart the enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws. These are not the morons who elevated a despicable criminal named George Floyd to sainthood status and wreaked destruction on innocent communities in his memory. These are not the privileged dunderheads who engage in performative hysteria to destroy the world’s reliable energy supply.    

What is it that I see?

I see moronic protesters—adult children—cheering for open borders and the mutilation of children. I see our cupidus overlords and their political lackeys run a financial casino with full-tilt recklessness, having learned nothing from previous financial bubble after financial bubble—why should they learn when we are cursed with a complicit government they know will bail them out when the inevitable and painfully foreseeable bubble bursting happens. I see forever wars paid for on unrepayable credit and reckless currency debasement, the morally necessary aggregate sacrifice deferred and made far worse for the delay. I see a madman pardoned by an enfeebled president for microbiological shenanigans which were prohibited by that president’s former boss. I see technology not require a jackbooted Big Brother for it to work its malevolency. I see science, medicine, and academia infected with stage 4 deliberate ignorance and self-destruction, which are exemplified by the poisonous notion of DEI and its armory containing the lethal weapons of censorship, decolonization, indigenization, infantilization (of non-whites), land acknowledgement, anti-meritocracy, safe spaces, pronoun declarations, and overt racism.

I see that our civilization is fucked. Likely beyond redemption or repair.  

The current juxtapositions are jarring. We humans are at a point in history which is both amazing and tragic. With the push of a few buttons, or via voice commands alone, we can within moments talk to a similarly equipped person almost anywhere on earth, and do so at a fabulously cheap cost. Not that many generations ago, the richest person on the planet could not do so. Now, many of the world’s poorest people can. This is amazing.  

For much of human history, famine was a very real and ever-present risk of terrible devastation. This cruel horseman of the apocalypse killed uncountable millions, over many millennia. Through miraculous improvements in agriculture, the biblical miracle of loaves and fishes made temporally real thanks to science, our world is generally well-fed, except when disruptions occur because of armed conflict, and the greater risk now are the health consequences of over-indulgence. Many of the world’s poor possess both a cell phone and are at risk of type 2 diabetes. This, too, is amazing.  

Contrast these remarkable achievements with the terrible fact of a collective madness which infects millions and which ensures our doom: Throughout the West, adults in positions of authority met and somehow agreed it was not just a good idea, but a morally imperative one, to place male prisoners, which disproportionately includes those who’ve committed violent sex crimes against women and children, in female prisons. In at least one case, this is a women’s prison which houses women and their children.

Some of my fellows, if they were to read this, uninformed up to this point, may join you future readers in incredulity and sputter: What? Why?

Exactly. You are right to ask, both in anger and disbelief, what the hell is going on and why the hell would such wickedness be, not just allowed to happen, but aggressively mandated. And, man, the aggressiveness manifested in support of this madness is a sight to behold—and not in a good way. “How dare you question our unassailable virtue, you transphobic bigot!”

Not that long ago, co-ed incarceration would’ve been unthinkable, even among the most permissive of one’s friends. It is gratuitous cruelty toward these female inmates who are often further punished if they dare complain to the prison authorities. The risk to female inmates is obvious to any sane and caring person. But then the cult of Wokeness arose from some sort of real-world Mordor, and the scope and depth of their derangement was (and is) breathtaking. Things are so bad that the world is now divided into two tribes: Woke and non-Woke. And, boy, are they different.

The why is particularly pathetic and mind-numbingly stupid.

The Woke allowed this outrage against women because the male offenders uttered the magic phrase, “I identify as a woman.”

That’s the reason? How can those silly words, when spoken by a male, result in so much needless destructive upheaval, not just in prisons but throughout our society and its institutions?

Indeed. Something so comically inane wielded with such catastrophic force. A pea shooter somehow transmogrified into a cobalt-sheathed nuclear weapon. Literally, a doomsday bomb. Detonated stupidly and gleefully on friend and foe alike, leaving behind a blasted hellscape of stunning stupidity.

But in the mind of demented fools, this comical presto-change-o assertion transforms the man into a real woman and allows the utterer immediate unfettered access to all women’s sports and spaces, often with the force of law in support of his delusion (or likely self-serving contrivance).

I deliberately use the word his, not only because I refuse to participate in the mind-numbingly ridiculous pronoun game, but because I’m not aware that women criminals who claim to be men are clamoring to serve their sentences in men’s prisons. Gee, I wonder why. Furthermore, the transcult asserts there are essentially an infinite number of genders, so does this mean we must build as many prison types as there are these gender concoctions?

Men housed in women’s prisons is a ludicrous fever dream to rational people, but in the disturbed minds of transcult members and their equally Woke enablers, the ludicrousness is itself a narcotic; in fact, it’s the pernicious iconoclasm which surges in their veins as the ultimate high, an über-euphoric hit of evil masquerading as smug faux virtue: “We’ll show those bigots just how virtuous we are!”   

And believe me, as Rick James might say: “Faux virtue is a hell of a drug.”

Admittedly, I’m not sympathetic to people in prison. My default inclination is to dismiss their plight as well-deserved, whatever the conditions may be. But when I soberly reflect on how prisons should indeed be operated, I accept that a just society implements minimum standards of humane treatment for its prison system, consistent with basic human decency. A no-brainer is male prisoners are absolutely not put in women’s prisons. To do so is evil. Putting a male prisoner who is a sex offender there is taking such depravity to a viler level of evil. It’s as if one evil told another evil, “Hold my beer!” 

Those who allow this barbarity do so out of cultist conviction, conniving contrivance, or abject cowardice, and a willful disregard for the fact humans are a sexually dimorphic species, male and female, and the sex you are born as shall be the one you die as. You cannot change your sex.

Though considered “hate speech” and “violence” by the Woke—yes, really—this biological fact is an ineluctable reality no matter how much an insistent fool might claim otherwise. It doesn’t matter if the fool is an insufferably smug doctor, lawyer, or scientist who either is actively furthering such depravity or was co-opted into committing intellectual malfeasance by excusifying it.

These learned fools are modern-day Trofim Lysenkos and are the proverbial useful idiots who provide a patina of specious credibility to an utterly false narrative. And like Lysenko, they cause catastrophic harm. Other useful idiots include large swaths of the legacy media (incurious morons and outright propagandists), narcissistic celebrities (“My child is trans!”), and hellbent politicians (almost exclusively Democrat elites) who believe such folly is we-showed-those-bigots one upmanship.

The rock-solid unity among Democrat officials, at all levels of government (federal, state, and local), in either aggressively supporting this evil or at least not actively speaking out against it, is a political coup de force for which the masterminds deserve James Bond villain status. These villains somehow got adults to fanatically believe that 2 + 2 = 5.      

These tyrannical fools go a step further, as maniacal tyrants always do: They brook no debate or opposition—cults never do—and woe betide the heretic or apostate who opposes them. Anyone who dares contest any tenet of transcult ideology, including the placement of males in female prisons, is swiftly branded a transphobic right-wing bigot and faces severe consequences for such sacrilege. The punishment is intended to harm the person both personally and professionally, with even the possibility of incarceration, physical assault, or murder.

Wokeness is potentially a great unifier…of its foes. This is particularly ironic because the goal of Wokeness is malignant divisiveness, a pigeonholing of the populace into identity-based cells, each of which in the pigeonholers’ minds determines the person’s frailties, foibles, belief system, and, most importantly, his or her place on either the victimhood or oppressor hierarchy.  

The joke—gallows humor as I write this—should be on the Woke. The non-Woke who oppose Woke madness include people of all types: Conservative and Liberal, black and white, rich and poor, Republican and Democrat, gay and straight, religious and nonbeliever, immigrant and native born. There are trans-identifying people among the non-Woke. The Woke smear all of them as right-wing bigots, white supremacists, Nazis, fascists, transphobes—and demand they be silenced and unduly punished.

Yes, according to the Woke’s staggering and limitless illogic, there are Negro white supremacists, immigrant xenophobes, and transphobic trans-identifying people. The Woke are masters at moronic oxymorons and are utterly oblivious to their own ironies and hypocrisies.

More irony—and to our detriment. This seeming unity among the non-Woke, though, is a disorganized mess. A mighty army scattered hither and yon into piecemeal ineffectiveness. Lacking a command structure and leadership which could’ve crushed Wokeness and made the world a far better place for having done so.

The Republican Party in particular, which opposes much of Woke ideology, is a befuddled corps of piss-poor communicators led by a president who is all-too-often his own worst enemy. This president, Donald J. Trump, has the potential for greatness (and I pray still might). Upon assuming office, he quickly attacked Wokeness head-on and won many tactical victories, and did so with far more alacrity and forcefulness than any other Republican president likely would’ve done. But his lack of humility and impulse control, combined with undisciplined communication, keeps Wokeness alive to fight another day.

What facilitates our doom is those among the non-Woke who crow that Wokeness is dead, transgender ideology is defeated, a semblance of sanity returned. These premature exalters are as fatally wrong as the Germans were in believing the Soviet Union was beaten in August 1941.

Any student of war knows that tactical victories are irrelevant. Strategic victories are what decide who is the victor and who is the defeated, who is the defendant in any subsequent war crimes trials. Believe me when I say the Woke, once their conquest is complete, fully intend their war crimes trials, which shall be a bizarre (and shrill) amalgam of Nuremberg, Salem, Spanish Inquisition, and La Terreur.      

Making the farce particularly maddening is that none of the prominent feminist organizations object. In fact, one of these, the National Organization for Women (NOW), made it their official policy that “transwomen are women.” Obviously, a more important “type” of woman, since real women in prison who are incarcerated with male perverts can go pound sand as far as NOW is concerned. Ditto female rape victims who are forced in court by Woke judges to refer to their male rapist using female pronouns if the defendant merely says the above-mentioned magic phrase.

In Woke courtrooms, women are raped by female penises, a pathetically weird faux-anatomical coinage insisted upon by the transcult. We witness a grotesque situation in which inaccurate pronoun usage (the farcically named preferred pronouns) is ascendant over a heinous crime of violent penetration. Woke sympathy is with the rapist, and scolding scorn heaped on the already traumatized female victim if she does not accept this horrifying debasement and capitulate utterly to the rapist’s delusional grammatical desires.

Lord, how did such malevolent sickness come to pass!   

NOW is not an outlier among so-called “civil rights” organizations. The American Civil Liberties Union is actively fighting to keep men in women’s prisons—screw the civil rights of female prisoners. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a particularly abhorrent gaggle of useful idiots that smear as a “hate group” any organized opposition to the transcult. Those wanting to keep men out of women’s prisons are no better than the Ku Klux Klan according to the SPLC. All these Woke organizations are quick to deliberately mischaracterize as “anti-trans” bigotry any legislation or executive order meant to protect women and children, return sanity to society.

There is apparently a great deal of sand which needs pounding by female feet.

In the West the insane message is strident and forcibly imposed, well beyond the point of comical excess: transgender über alles. This ideology alone is enough to assure our doom. A mammalian society which believes there are more than two genders and that a person can literally “change” his or her gender, either medically or by the mere incantation of a few words, isn’t going to the stars. A society which imposes transcult ideology on female prisoners and rape victims doesn’t deserve to do so. In fact, it deserves any devastation meted out to it. Perhaps, someone or something from a successor civilization shall read these words and compose an “Ozymandias” in retrospect to a long-departed mankind.   

I wish I knew how so many of us came to embrace this obvious madness and convinced themselves of its salubrity. Perhaps a Soros-funded laboratory somewhere conducted gain of function research on fools, made them more retarded and virulent, and then allowed them to escape the lab into the wider world. These Dr. Frankensteins took political correctness and amped it up into a far-more malevolent form that is Wokeness, a humorous but annoying lark manufactured into a decidedly deadlier one.

Western societies are now cursed with a malignant pestilence that is Wokeness. There are a significant number of our fellows who believe (or enable) not just the above lunacy, but also much more asshattery. Much of it is Woke insanity, but not all. Though not a majority (God help us if this isn’t true!), there are millions of them, which has been enough to elect and appoint people to positions of power throughout Western institutions and to warrant our doom if they’re not stopped. Covid was not the pandemic to fear. They were. A society-shattering pestilence far from eradication.

The Woke suffered recent setbacks thanks to President Trump and others, but I assure you that these malicious clowns are not going away. They are not going to stop. They intend much worse harm than they’ve already done. Ditto the non-Woke clowns who do the bidding of Wall Street and the Military-Industrial Complex.

With this depressing groundwork laid, here are some further reasons why our society is doomed.

More asteroids not of extraterrestrial origin

1. Weaponized word games.

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.”

Wow, who could’ve foreseen the children’s book Alice in Wonderland would, many years later, serve as an instruction manual for use by adult children to royally fuck up the world. 

As we saw above regarding prisons and courts, the Woke weaponize willful ignorance and use it to, among other foolishness, torture language into an armament of mass destruction. They demand we play silly word games and erupt in hysterical overreaction to manufactured linguistic slights. For example, they deem my use of “fellows” several paragraphs back as bigoted misogyny and transphobia, maliciously ignorant of the fact its use here clearly refers to all people, men and women collectively. A sane person possessed of at least moderate intelligence gets it. Hence, the Woke don’t.

Depending on the context, such a grammatical trifle could very well become national or international news. Much of the media is happy to oblige Wokeness, since it provides clickable “news” stories without the need to expend a joule of either actual journalistic effort or rational investigatory skepticism. A large portion of the media functions as the Woke’s TASS or KCNA and eagerly embrace the role of propagandists on behalf of Wokeness. Therefore, our so-called news is awash in petty outrages over nothings made to seem as if they are matters of state, this manufactured drama as news.

Matters of state?

Oh, yes. You’ll see such newsworthy nonsense discussed in the staid halls of legislatures. An unhinged state legislator in the Woke dystopia of Minnesota insists that “misgendering” someone is violence, and she wants the miscreant punished accordingly. In other words, if a person uses accurate grammar (i.e., male pronouns) when referring to a male who claims to be a woman, this “misgenderer” has committed a violent assault akin to as if a baseball bat were wielded instead of mere truthful words.

This dangerous nutcase and her ilk believe hurty words a worse crime than assault with a physical object. They’re dead serious about this. Look at their eyes when they espouse their vile notions—these are lunatics who rule over us. They are our future camp commandants and camp guards who shall revel in marching us to the showers, fully convinced they’re doing the Lord’s work. I shall not be surprised in the least if they someday conscript IG Farben to provide them barrels of Zyklon B.  

As Orwell warned, language games are deliberately used to destroy truth—though I bet he’d be shocked at the ease at which the transcult has successfully implemented theirs.

The destruction of objective truth dooms us. Millions of people hold dear, with demented conviction, a belief that 2 + 2 = 5 (e.g., transwomen are real women), and they’re nasty as hell about it if you disagree, no matter how politely or thoughtfully you do so. They’re oh-so eager to use the power of the state and other institutions to rain significant punishment down up on a person for accurately gendering a male who claims he is female or some made-up gender (e.g., nonbinary). This should terrify anyone possessing even a scintilla of sense.

Don’t bother trying to have a reasonable debate or discussion with the Woke about this or any other issue. Their word games preclude a starting point for a reasonable conversation. Back in the good old days, people might debate whether to buy a new aircraft carrier or instead spend the money on something else; perhaps daycare, higher education, or roads. The debate back then might be heated and acrimonious. But no side of the debate fanatically embraced an intractable position that the aircraft carrier was a hippopotamus and screamed you were a hippo-phobe if you demurred.

Speaking of stupid word games, it’s not just the Woke engaging in this silly nonsense. The Federal Reserve Bank has long applied linguistic camouflage to its economic voodoo and calls the currency debasing printing of money “quantitative easing.” At their December 2025 meeting the Fed came up with a different Orwellian term for mad money printing: “reserve management purchases.”

As you’ll see, there is more than one path towards our collective doom.

2. Normalization of sex between adults and children

The disgust factor is off the charts with this one. Achieving this odious goal is the Holy Grail of the Woke’s permissiveness fetish. Abhorrent leniency is perceived as contravening the bigoted morality of their foes (i.e., hardworking decent people possessed of commonsense morality). Again, the mindset is simple: “We’ll show those intolerant bigots!”

The Woke desperately want to recast pedophilia as a sexual orientation. You know, just a “normal” inherent urge like that of adult heterosexuals, bisexuals, and homosexuals toward other adults. Laws against pedophilia are socially constructed relics of Western conquest and colonialism imposed on less-uptight indigenous people of color.

Two supposedly gay penguins were once used as an example in support of civil rights for gays—a children’s book was even written about them. Don’t be surprised if the Antarctic and zoos are furiously searched to locate what is claimed to be a pedophile penguin or two. (Lord, don’t you dare forgive us if a children’s book is written about them.)

Defining pedophilia as a sexual orientation deserving of requisite sympathy and laudation is coming, my friends, if the Woke are not stopped. Then child predators shall acquire the same privileged protections the Woke demand apply to all their pet identities. A crime—or perhaps mere unkind words—against a child rapist is then elevated to hate crime status. Also expect a concomitant flag and parades in celebration of this “civil rights” coup. Stopping it is a nonpartisan issue. Big time.

Woke academics are applying the expected word game asshattery in furtherance of this nefarious aim. They insist the word pedophile is a hurty word which unduly stigmatizes these poor misunderstood souls. A more enlightened term they suggest be used instead is minor attracted person or MAP. Just like the pronoun game, this is not an issue of empathy as claimed by the Woke. This terminology switcheroo is meant to eventually impose a creepy political agenda, by force if necessary.  

Minnesota is a trailblazer regarding this evil. In this state, which serves as an exemplar of all that is wrong with Wokeness, a wordsmithy proposal was put forth and intended to ultimately designate pedophilia as a sexual orientation in the Minnesota Human Rights Act. They didn’t directly declare pedophilia a sexual orientation (not yet, anyway), but they did the too-cute trick of removing existing language from the Act which specifically excludes pedophilia from the definition of sexual orientation. We should fear what the next step will be.

Those in the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes gaslighting about this issue claim pedophilia is still illegal and not a sexual orientation in Minnesota. “Nothing to see here, folks. Only bigots are making this an issue.”

Then why the law change? Why not keep the existing language and make it clear there is no intention to ever grant child rapists and molesters the same civil rights protections given to homosexuals? The Woke media, the useful idiots that they are, did cartwheels trying to spin this change as not intended to protect pedophiles—and, of course, proclaimed those opposed to the deletion of the specific exclusion are right-wing bigots.

I’m betting—and you should, too—it is just the first step toward what they truly want and which shall afford them the obligatory virtue-signal: “We’re so darn tolerant and accepting!” They want these perverts to have the rights and privileges afforded other groups because of who they have sex with. Nonconsensual sex in this case (aka child rape).

Sane people adamantly contend that children cannot under any circumstances consent to sex. The Woke want children raped and molested with state-sanctioned impunity. Don’t believe me? They already fight like hell to keep illegal alien child predators from being deported. They celebrate keeping despicable criminals here as a demented coup against, of course, right-wing bigots. (Yes, the Woke are indeed that sick in the head.)

As is done for the transcult, the pedophile-enablers shall conflate this objective with the civil rights fought for by gays and blacks. In their pretzeled minds, the right for adults (almost always men) to rape and molest children is akin to Ms. Parks fighting to sit in the front of the bus or two consenting adults of the same sex to marry. There is an army of useful idiots who shall mindlessly agree.    

If this increasingly revealed tenet of Wokeness doesn’t force the non-Woke to rise up en masse to fight against the Woke, nothing shall. We fully deserve our end times if pedophilia is ever considered anything but pure evil deserving of severe punishment. Legalizing or destigmatizing pedophilia is our society telling Sodom and Gomorrah, “Hold my beer!”

I’m not religious, but I hope the Lord Almighty would respond with equal wrath.

3. Basic human rights devalued and discarded

The long, heartbreaking, and often terrible path of human civilization led to the remarkable concept of human rights. Human rights are the essential framework upon which a civilization valuing individual freedom is built and continues to improve itself. Absent these rights, a person lives in a prison rather than a free society. 

These basic human rights involve abstract concepts, not material things—we have no right to things which cost money. Rights are our most valuable possessions, taken for granted until lost. Then it’s too late, as it already is in many places.    

Basic human rights include free speech, due process, privacy, and a medical system whose foundational tenet is “First do no harm.” These canons and others of a free society are treated either with indifference or outright hostility by fascist fools.

We’ve a surfeit of fascist fools. Therein lies the problem.

Among us are people who intend to silence, disarm, and surveil the hell out of us. They have corrupted the medical profession into mutilating, sterilizing, and pharmaceutically poisoning otherwise healthy bodies—and this atrocity is lauded by the transcultists and their enablers.

Censorship is the default weapon of those who subconsciously know their ideology is built on quicksand. The language game the Woke play is meant to abolish freedom of speech. The loss of this freedom is integral to their efforts to crush dissent and flush out troublemakers. A society lacking freedom of speech is not free and shall be deprived of all other freedoms, as well. I guarantee this.

The Woke are censorious fucks. The non-Woke are, too, if the speech involves criticism of Israel. There is a childish belief among the censors that if those they disagree with are silenced, then paradise is to be had. They’ll find out the hard way, and too late, that quite the opposite is true. Paradise it shall not be. An important lesson they’ll learn is the only rights you deserve are the rights you allow others to possess as well. True free speech means a person is allowed to espouse notions another person may find repugnant or hateful.

Due process in the Internet Age is a quaint anachronism. The warp speed of a social media frenzy does not allow consideration of evidence, a sober determination of guilt or innocence based on evidence, and a proportionate punishment if indeed guilty.

But guilty of what?

Therein lies the rub, itself evidence of our plague of childish adults who herald our doom. Trivialities are now capital crimes in the roiling inanity that is the Internet. A mean word, a racial slur, an indecorous meme. These are the serious crimes of today according to the thin-skinned and thick-skulled.

Gaining instant widespread infamy is fabulously easy nowadays. Someone who isn’t black using the word nigger (if done with a hard “r”) is a story of far more importance than the invasion of a foreign country or balancing a distended government budget. Billions of dollars in overt fraud, a car bomb explosion, or a child rapist on the lose are irrelevant if there’s a person who said “nigger” to march at spearpoint to the Internet’s Calvary for his or her crucifixion.

It’s said the Devil can quote scripture when it suits his evil plans. Likewise, the Devil can avoid the word nigger and join in the cavalcade of histrionics heaped on the offender when it serves his purpose. The Dark Lord is likely amazed at the ease by which we are divided and conquered by a mere word.   

In particularly Woke jurisdictions, these manufactured sins are investigated by the police, who at the same time are often prevented from dealing with what a sane person considers real crimes. In the United Kingdom, the police show up at your front door to investigate a tweet you posted or another’s tweet you liked or shared. Germany has special prosecution teams specifically tasked with speech and thought crimes. I guess the Germans haven’t learned anything from their past—well, maybe they did. The American Woke ache for this nonsense to happen in the United States, as well.

What about privacy?

Oh, that laughable right. The concept of privacy is dead, buried, and long forgotten. The ham-fisted reaction to the 9/11 terrorist attacks busted open the door for overreaching government surveillance. Then the Internet came at us from the business and entertainment side of things to sweep away privacy for good. Few protested. Many cheered it on. Others shrugged their shoulders in weary indifference.

Woke and non-Woke alike willingly ceded privacy to wage a neverending war on terror, for a better shopping experience, and to juice up their social media experience. The Internet begat a world of narcissistic exhibitionists, wide-eyed voyeurs, chattering lunatics, and baying scolds. Your phone, television, and computer are happy to oblige with cameras, microphones, and a shitload of data storage. Pruriency and puerility reign supreme on the Internet.

The depth of the invasiveness is seemingly limitless. Coming soon is mandated no-cash commerce which affords our overlord monitors a treasure trove of evidence awaiting assignment towards our future guilt. There are many who intend to exploit this technology to enforce their wicked aims—expect a social credit system at some point. This has already occurred to some extent in the United States with the debanking of those considered politically unpalatable. The Canadian truckers who protested former Prime Minister Trudeau’s fascist overreach to the Covid pandemic found out full-on what a social credit system is like: They were locked out of their bank accounts.

The social credit system is in all our futures. A bleak dystopian future.

“You believe there are only two genders? Well then, your bank account is now frozen until your contrition is sufficiently degrading and your reeducation is satisfactorily completed.”   

The Woke abandoned the Hippocratic Oath and instead avowed themselves of the spirit of Dr. Mengele. They actively seek to harm children and adults via the maiming and poisoning they call transgender “health care” or “gender affirming care.” Talk about putting eau de Orwell fragrance on a turd.

Their Frankenstein medicine affirms nothing. It is gender-rejecting care, or at least a horrific attempt to do so. It is mutilation and sterilization with a Woke imprimatur. Dr. Mengele would be proud of these evil nitwits.

As I write this, there are numerous Democrat-led states suing the federal government in order to continue harming children via odious medical procedures and drugs. They are hellbent on modern-day child sacrifice. Beating hearts aren’t removed on bloody Aztec altars—not yet, anyway—but they cut off healthy penises and healthy breasts as a sacrifice to their Woke god, and do it within the well-lit bloody confines of an operating room.

The evil of gender-rejecting medical procedures must stop. The gender-confused must be given proper mental health therapy meant to help them accept biological reality (such therapy is illegal in Woke states). This is what a society worthy of survival does.  

The loss of our rights is the goal sought by fools of every stripe. We must understand, absolutely must, that every voice silenced, every due process subverted, every personal space violated, every eunuch gleefully created by these monsters is an outrage for which society must someday answer.

And the answer may very well be our end.  

4. Medicine, science, and academia decimated by Wokeness

We no longer have rational adults in positions of authority at our societal institutions. We are plagued by adult children who are shrill and delusional. They have zero understanding at how a functioning society must operate. These adult children work tirelessly to destroy the critical institutions of medicine, science, and academia. And replace these with superstition, ignorance, and ineptitude.

The scientific method and other free inquiry are threatened with extinction by Wokeness. Consider it an asteroid of world-destroying dimensions which somehow tiptoed into these institutions and did catastrophic damage.

The evidence is easy to find if you wish to know which organizations are diseased: The ones with a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) office or its equivalent. If you see a silly “land acknowledgement” or pronoun declarations on its website or documents, this by itself is evidence you are dealing with an organization which has supplanted its core mission with destructive Woke ideology.   

I read the book “The War on Science” (edited by Lawrence M. Krauss). I wish I hadn’t, as it left me disgusted and completely disheartened. If you believe in free speech, meritocracy, and proper science, this book will depress the hell out of you.  

The dust jacket contains an ominous statement: “Thirty-nine renowned scientists and scholars speak out about current threats to free speech, open inquiry and the scientific process.”

And, boy, do they. These threats are more accurately described as full-on conquests, so successful has been Wokeness at conquering vital societal institutions. It’s a conquest akin to the Mongols taking of Baghdad, with familiar mercilessness.  

The Woke deliberately dismiss the fact humanity reached its current level of advancement largely because of science. Western science played a huge role in this over the last several hundred years, but the Woke—being the incorrigible racists they are—fail to understand the obvious: Any advancement, whether it be scientific, engineering, medical, or otherwise is the science of mankind, regardless of who the discoverer is. We should heed the wise words of Ralph Wiley and extend these to all human endeavors: “Tolstoy is the Tolstoy of the Zulus.”

We must be free to openly debate and investigate. Disagreements are not just allowed without consequence, but expected to occur. Science without debate is not science. Politicizing science or believing science is “settled” is to fatally undermine it. It’s then a fundamentalist religion. Academia without debate is indoctrination, and we at present see this at all levels of education, from kindergarten to university level. In Woke school districts there is an explosion in the number of children who now are unsure what gender they are. Every thusly confused child is considered a victory to the Woke, especially if the child’s parents disagree.

When I was in school, teachers and classmates held views across the social and political spectrum. It didn’t occur to us to insist a person pass an ideological purity test when applying for a teaching position or that everyone must think alike. A classmate who we disagreed with was at most a jerk in our minds. We didn’t demand the person’s expulsion or seek his or her personal destruction. Those intolerant people of the past were, in fact, far more tolerant than the anti-intolerance Woke of today.

Ah, those sweet innocent times of yore. We had eight-track players and honest debates.

Disagreement and debate are haram to the Woke. The Woke demand no inquiry or discussion unless it conforms to their ideology. An ideology openly hostile to Western achievements and methods of inquiry.

This ideology is forcibly imposed throughout our institutions with results that are both comical and devastating. One example is the insistence that trans-identifying males (aka transwomen) are included in women’s health studies. This reality is something Orwell himself could not have imagined as a possibility.  

Consider the consequences of 100 males who claim to be female included in a health study of 100 women, a situation which is not far-fetched hyperbole. There is no selection bias here according to the Woke: These are real women, indeed biological women, after all. The Woke would be fine and dandy with this absurdity, and it is unlikely anyone involved would have the courage to challenge it. The results could prove deadly. The study would show a zero rate of cervical cancer (I guarantee this finding) and a dramatically reduced rate of breast cancer.

Do we cease recommending pap smears and mammograms for women based on data which is completely useless if the intent is to improve health outcomes for actual women? And, yes, the term “actual women” is transphobic according to Woke morons. As are the terms “real women” and “biological women.” You likely have relatives, friends, neighbors, and coworkers who believe this shit.

Yes, we are surrounded by dangerous imbeciles.

I provide a hilarious caveat. The United Kingdom has, at present, a Deputy Prime Minister (David Lammy) who is arguably the dumbest politician on Earth, a distinction he’s obtained despite serious competition from many others. He is Woke on steroids and believes trans-identifying males can grow a cervix, so he might argue for continuation of regular screening for cervical cancer. Bully for him.  

There is open hostility to Western achievements despite the fact these have greatly benefited the entire world. According to Woke doctors, scientists, and academics, we must afford equal weight, if not more, to the farcically termed “other ways of knowing” (i.e., non-European), which means giving scientific credence to the ignorance and superstition of non-Western peoples which they once used to explain the world prior to “corruption” (conquest and colonization) by evil white people. They even claim the concept of male and female are Western constructs imposed by conquerors on the conquered.

I’m certain the non-Woke non-Westerners are aghast at such patronizing racism and do not want to suicidally renounce mankind’s progress. Too bad for them. The Woke shall castigate the sensible African Zulu and Australian Aborigine as white supremacists should they demur from Woke orthodoxy.

New Zealand—another Woke madhouse—wants Maori beliefs included in modern science. Not as an amusing historical aside, but as an equal partner. There is a smug Maori quantum physicist who advocates for this crap. I have zero doubt that formerly reputable physics journals will publish any nonsense he comes up with. I also have zero doubt there are non-Woke Maori who believe such madness is an embarrassment to their people. Just as I hope a Greek person would find humiliating a demand the god Zeus be part of an astrophysics curriculum, not as a historical curiosity, but as actual science.

If deemed a coup against their enemies, the Woke would indeed assert the gods move the heavens just as surely as does the white man’s gravity. I took a class in Greek mythology in high school and found it very interesting. Nobody considered it science nor somehow seriously believed, for example, lightning storms were an expression of a god’s anger. Such a suggestion would have been considered risible and a symptom of severe mental illness.

What fools dismiss is the fact there is not an indigenous quantum mechanics, a native calculus, an aboriginal nuclear reaction. Quantum mechanics is for the Australian Aborigine as much as for the German. A true scientist of any ilk would be appalled at efforts to dismantle modern science and medicine in the name of decolonization and indigenization. These Woke efforts do not right past wrongs, but instead create catastrophically bad new ones.

The damage already done may be irreparable. The suicide cult of Wokeness is a cancer that has metastasized to stage 4. As Christopher Hitchens said about his own terminal cancer: “The thing about stage 4 is that there is no stage 5.” We are at state 4 Wokeness.

Here’s a couple of bon mots from “The War on Science”:

• An astrobiology meeting at Penn State decided to forbid using the word “intelligence” in SETI as it is a “white” construct.
• Patients have not been called up for cancer tests because their biological sex had been erased from their medical records.

These bullet points could serve as the words engraved on humanity’s headstone.

Allow me to also share some quotes from this book:

“It’s hard to imagine how the atmosphere of febrile complaint, grievance-mongering, victim one-upmanship, and melodramatic assertion is helpful for anyone in academia, even including the beneficiaries of DEI largesse.” (Janice Fiamengo)

“(1) all scientists need to be able to say and argue whatever they want, even if it offends someone else; (2) universities and academic societies need to maintain strict neutrality on all social and political issues; and (3) hiring needs to be done on the basis of scientific merit alone.” (Dorian Abbot)

“Disagreement is not oppression. Argument is not assault. Words—even provocative or repugnant ones—are not violence.” (Nicholas A. Christakis)

“[Academia]…invaded by the most anti-meritocratic, morally relativistic, cynical, nihilistic, power-mad, and bitter immature hedonists imaginable….all the while chasing their own narrowly self-centered, hedonistic, and even psychopathic indulgences, domineering aims, and imprudent and infantile purposes.” (Jordan B. Peterson)

Bottom line: The Woke have done serious damage to science, medicine, and academia. If Wokeness is not expunged from these institutions and the incalculable damage repaired, we are cooked as a species.

5. Childish understanding of energy supply

Speaking of adult children…

One need look no further than the global warming cult to see childish adults who’ve manufactured drama to fill their empty lives. They are useful idiots whose hysterical fear is wielded by those who wish to control us and enrich themselves. This fear is profoundly hypocritical because the global warming cultists often are far larger carbon dioxide spewers than the average global warming skeptic.

Unfortunately, hypocrisy lacks the self-correcting shame it once had. Leonardo DiCaprio can scold us about carbon dioxide while openly generating tons of it himself and do so with zero repercussions. The wealthy who espouse global warming nonsense are the pigs who took over Farmer Jones’s home in George Orwell’s Animal Farm. Indeed, some animals are more equal than others.

Don’t accept the bogus excuse that these hypocritical profligate carbon dioxide spewers somehow “offset” their sin. If you believe in the apocalyptic threat of global warming, then these so-called “carbon offsets” are profoundly immoral. They are immorally equivalent (if not worse) than if a wealthy pedophile paid poorer pedophiles not to molest and rape children, so that the offsetter could continue his evil deeds. 

The global warming cultists insist climate change (née global warming) poses an immediate grave threat to the world. They are wrong. They themselves are the threat. If Just Stop Oil and other lunatics were granted their demented desire that we immediately stop using fossil fuels, this alone would be our end. Billions of people would die. Yes, billions. Agriculture and trade would collapse. Modern economies would be destroyed. People would freeze to death. Disease would run rampant. It would be unimaginable genocide on a global scale.

There is nothing unusual about the climate, either from a historical or geological perspective. Global warming skeptics have compelling data and are willing to debate their position. The cultists employ censorship and personal destruction in defense of their dubious assertions. This should be a huge clue in support of whose side is likely correct.  

Cheap, reliable energy enabled mankind to advance tremendously over the last few hundred years. Food supply, life expectancy, and overall health improved dramatically. Now our health problems largely stem from excess rather than want. We can travel, mitigate backbreaking work, enjoy leisure. Not just the rich, but the middle class and many poor people.

Yes, there’s work to do, and we must plan as responsible adults (not childish cultists) for an eventual depletion of petroleum reserves, but we must stop sometimes and take stock of the wonderful progress made.

Assume the worst-case scenario the cultists believe is true: Global warming is caused by manmade carbon dioxide and poses a momentous threat to humanity.

Rational people believing this would build nuclear power plants like crazy. We don’t have rational people in charge, so nuclear power plant construction is not happening. The fact the global warming cultists oppose nuclear power proves they are a suicide cult, or more accurately, a murder-suicide cult, since they intend to take the rest of us with them.

6. Gain of function madness

There are madmen who secretly work to artificially create more virulent pathogens. Dr. Fauci was one of them. They are essentially manufacturing bioweapons—and we’re the target, whether intended or otherwise. The odds of this research not releasing its creations into the wider world, no matter how stringent the safety protocols, is ZERO.

This research must stop. Consider its continuation a crime against humanity and a dire threat to our survival.

7. Casualness of forever wars

As a person of German descent, the natural inclination of my DNA is to wage war. Yet I set aside my genetically predisposed bloodlust and consider war soberly.

War is the most serious of mankind’s endeavors and must always be treated as such. A war requires a clearly identified enemy and specific goals defining victory. Both soldiers and civilians must suffer accordingly if a society is to prove the war is worth the effort and cost. There must be a process of careful consideration and debate prior to authorizing the waging of war.

The above criteria are disregarded today. The War Machine wants it no other way.

The United States Congress abrogated its authority to wage war with the Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). The AUMF gives the United States president wide latitude for waging war anywhere in the world. It is now rare to have a member of Congress or the legacy media openly question or dare protest a military adventure, conducted either directly or by our proxies. Those who do are quickly smeared by the media and their colleagues: “What are you, pro-Putin or something?”

It not merely the justification for wars that no one cares about. No one asks where the money is coming from to pay for these—specifically from where. More than 100 billion dollars magically appeared to send to Ukraine—and included aggressive efforts to prevent any conditions on Ukraine requiring a proper auditing of how the money is spent.

Some argue the “money” spent on war could be better spent at home. This is a precious naiveté. If the money actually existed, yes it could be better spent here—and should. But our government does not have surplus funds for any purpose, whether seeing eye dogs for the blind or tanks for Kiev. Again, the question must be asked, more bluntly this time, for this and any other “new” expenditure (hell, for existing ones, too): Where the fuck is the money coming from?

The lack of seriousness for such a serious matter as war is stunning.

We don’t issue war bonds. We don’t conduct scrap metal drives. Ration books aren’t issued. Thick blankets aren’t affixed to our windows to block out light from enemy eyes. Cartoons which are gross caricatures of our enemies are absent from newspapers. We send our soldiers off to war, not with martial bloodlust stirred in their hearts, but with admonishments not to describe our foes using hurty words. The person trying to kill you might deserve a bayonet to the chest, his cities warrant reduction to rubble, but any racially-based or sexuality-based disparagement is verboten! 

A military trial for a soldier is far more likely for calling the enemy a sand nigger or faggot than if he burns a foe’s orphanage to ashes.  

We have the sterilized modern American war of borrowing money, printing money, and an all-volunteer, DEI-enfeebled army. For those not directly on the front lines, it’s a video game, a humdrum news story, an opportunity for some to engage in the performative theater of a limp-wristed and tepid antiwar protest (unless a Democrat is president, in which case the antiwar protesters are at brunch).

Most of us go about dimly aware, if aware at all, that something is happening somewhere to somebody for some reason. Borrowing and printing money hides the financial burden. Having an all-volunteer military removes for most of us the risk of injury and death. We ultimately pay for the war in future direct taxation or the insidious taxation that is inflation. The soldiers directly fighting suffer, but the civilians back home are cushioned from any direct immediate impact.

Bodies do come home. Few enough to allow for their arrival as isolated spectacle. Too few to stir the public consciousness from its somnolence.

With any war we must ask ourselves why we are there? How did removing Muamar Gaddafi or Sadaam Hussein benefit the United States? How does bombing Yemeni rebels help us? Do the Venezuelan drug dealers pose a strategic threat to our country? Is there really an American interest other than enriching the Military-Industrial complex and Wall Street?

We are an unusual empire. One that seeks to destroy itself rather than formerly expand its boundaries. The purpose of these modern forever wars is to enrich our betters.

Thus, the mechanism is securely in place for forever wars which divert resources from more productive uses and adds greatly to the deficit and debt. Forever wars frozen in place it seems, until one of the countries we accost decides the nuclear option is a viable tool in response.

And what a response and then counter-response it shall be.

Yes, eventually, somebody somewhere is going to do something for some reason. Something magnificently destructive.  

And what a something it shall be. 

8. Zinnia Jones

Should we need an individual to personify our doom, we need look no further than Mr. Zinnia Jones. This über-creepy male who claims to be a female suggests that ALL children should be placed on puberty blockers until these kids decide what their genders are. His argument is based on madness taken to an unreal level of depravity: If children cannot consent to puberty blockers (as we transphobes claim), then Mr. Jones counterclaims that children can’t consent to natural puberty until they’re old enough either.

Wow, Mr. Jones told all of Wokedom, “Hold my Bud Light!”

Yup, Mr. Jones shall show us transphobes, good and hard.

The Biden Administration’s Dr. Richard Levine—another über-creepy male who claims to be a female named Rachel and who strikes me as an autogynephilic castration fetishist—made the ridiculous claim that puberty blockers for so-called transchildren are life-saving and suicide-preventing. This transcult propaganda is typical of the emotional blackmail these demons impose on the vulnerable parents who are dealing with a gender-confused child.

Mr. Levine also worked behind the scenes to get the World Professional Association on Transgender Health (WPATH) to remove from its guidelines any age restrictions on the gender-rejecting medicalization of children. Levine wouldn’t even cotton the notion that a three-year old boy shouldn’t have his penis and testicles cut off if the child’s Woke parents insist their child is transgender.

These monsters desire their child sacrifices.

Puberty is not a disease requiring a cure. It is the most important physical development stage in our lives, the one which creates human beings able to reproduce and function physically as adults. It’s beyond odd I have to state the painfully obvious: The ability to reproduce among sufficient members of a species, whether it be plant or animal, is what enables that species to continue and not go extinct.

Puberty blockers are not harmless drugs with reversible impacts, as the transcult claim. These drugs damage puberty and often result in sterile, sexually dysfunctional individuals. 

Messrs. Jones and Levine are dangerous transcultists. The widespread use of puberty blockers would make the science fiction story Children of Men an apocalyptic reality. This story is about the lone pregnant woman on an Earth where humans for some unspecified reason are no longer able to reproduce.

It may seem beyond possibility that such a thing would actually come to pass. But if it involves the Woke, there is no absurdity or atrocity which isn’t possible. Parody can’t keep up with Woke reality.  

We must remember, absolutely must, that while decent people go about their lives, these monsters plot against us. Openly, and oh so smugly.

9. No adults in charge of government finances

“We must accept current austerity and living within our means for the sake of future prosperity,” said no modern politician ever.

There is an absolute lack of seriousness regarding government budgets and debt. The federal government is in debt tens of trillions of dollars. We have huge budget deficits each year and add to this debt. In 2025, the deficit was 1.8 trillion dollars.

At present, almost a trillion dollars per year is spent just on the interest payments for this federal debt. Our interest payments by itself is greater than the total government budget of any other country on Earth.

“But we’re the richest country on Earth,” says everyone who demands more spending on social programs.

If net wealth is a person’s assets minus liabilities, we are technically bankrupt.

“But there’s good debt and bad debt,” say the financial charlatans who want us to believe bad debt is good debt.

I’m betting heavily on what kind of debt our government’s is. And so should you.

There are useful idiot economists who insist government debt is not like an individual person’s household debt, the implication being to pooh-pooh any concerns us little people might have about our profligate government spending and debt accumulation.

They’re right. It’s not the same. It’s much worse. At least a person eventually dies and there is a final reckoning of accounts. Any debts are either paid off or written off. No liabilities are carried on beyond the person’s life. The books are closed. The debt in this case is not a cancer which metastasizes forever.

Unlike a person, the government lives on, adding and adding to its debt, with no reckoning of accounts until it’s far too late, which it already is, my friends. Our collective reckoning is going to be a disastrous doozey. Fully deserved.

This leviathan interest cost is almost one-fifth of our budget, with a critical caveat: The budget itself is hugely in the red every year; we are not paying down the principal of our debt one cent.

We are collectively a person with a huge credit card debt who is paying ruinous interest on his card’s balance but is spending more each day to add to an ever-growing principal. The card’s interest rate might go up and down, but the overall debt rockets ever upward.

This federal debt is in addition to the debt of states and local governments. There are also significant unfunded liabilities for pensions and retiree healthcare, i.e., future expenses for which the money does not exist. These liabilities are also considered debt unless you’re a gaslighting public employees union representative asserting otherwise.

Too few people in positions of authority behave as if our government finances are a disaster. Despite the deficit, debt, unfunded liabilities, and the skyrocketing percentage of the budget spent only on interest payments, the fools who rule us talk constantly of new programs and spending increases, willfully ignorant of the folly of such talk.

Our leaders are fiscally über-irresponsible. The voters who elect and reelect them, are too. Meaningful spending cuts are as a rare as an actual pot of gold under a rainbow. New spending programs are regularly proposed, as are increases to existing ones. Some of these increases, such as the annual Social Security COLA, are automatically mandated by law, which means it is not subject to the fiscally responsible debate which should accompany all government spending when deciding on an annual budget.

What would happen to a politician who dared suggest the Social Security COLA not be automatically increased, not without at least a perfunctory (and likely performative) discussion?

Oh, Lord, that guy or gal would be in for a firestorm of attack: “What? You hate old people who worked hard all their lives?”

Some did indeed work hard. Others didn’t. Too many didn’t work at all. This is something else nobody is going to bring up but damn well should.

On top of this, we have reckless fools demanding the Federal Reserve lower its interest rate (Fed funds rate) and print money to fuel the spending madness. Endless deficit spending, increasing debt, increasing unfunded liabilities, and inflation are apparently what the voters demand. They rarely vote otherwise.

Our economy is based on shenanigans, sleight of hand, word games, and other fiscal fudgepackery. Phantom equity in homes and stocks, along with empty promises related to future retirement and healthcare benefits, are believed to be tangible wealth. Printing money and absurdly low interest rates are the fiscal Fentanyl which dooms us.

Nobody is making hard decisions. Few are demanding these decisions be made and are willing to endure the immediate sacrifice necessary to stave off the staggering fiscal catastrophe awaiting us.

I support many of the things President Trump does, e.g., dealing with illegal immigration and the transcult insanity, eliminating odious DEI and its ilk, fighting against unfair trade agreements. He was for free speech until the speech was deemed anti-Israel [sigh].

Others I don’t like: huge military spending increases, $1,776 “bonus” checks to military personnel, illusory DOGE and tariff rebates, badgering the Fed to lower interest rates, buying 200 billion dollars of mortgage-backed securities, the bizarre Greenland obsession. There is not a dime of extra money for any of this nonsense. Not remotely so.

The military spending is madness on steroids. By law we must maintain eleven ruinously expensive aircraft carrier battle groups. How many can we responsibly afford? I’m guessing far south of eleven in number. Likely, none.

We already spend more on our military than the next nine largest spenders combined, which include China and Russia. In President Trump’s first budget of his second term, 200 billion dollars more was added to the military’s budget with nary a peep from Republican or Democrat alike. And then, more recently, another insane proposal is proffered to increase military spending by another 50 percent! This is madness even if our government was debt-free and flush with cash.

It is fiduciary malfeasance, in the context of our current fiscal pickle, to propose a dime of new spending. To argue against eliminating waste and fraud is also insane, whether or not we are flush with money. Remember, the money sent to Ukraine did not include accounting criteria. Money spent within our own borders is done with incompetent oversight.

When fraud is found, especially if it for some weird reason involves Somalis, the Woke circle the wagons and, not just ignore it, but attack the discoverers and propose making it illegal to investigate such crimes. We do not elect stewards of our public finances. These are coconspirators to larceny.

Deficit, debt, and unfunded liabilities shall be our financial ruin and perhaps that of society entirely. Both parties are to blame. The Republicans offer the façade of fiscal responsibility, but are no different from the openly profligate and irresponsible Democrats.

Citizens need to demand no new spending increases, no new programs, and fiscally responsible stewardship. Absent this, the financial reckoning is assured and it shall be terrible and (again) deservedly so.

Read Lionel Shriver’s book The Mandibles: A Family, 2029-2047 if you want a preview of a likely future reality. Man, Ms. Shriver gets it. Really, really gets it. Much more so than any of the clowns who currently lead us.

A long time ago I wrote a novel, The Quemadero, which remains unpublished. Allow me to share the last page. Based on recent events, it seems to encapsulate what could very be the trigger of our dénouement…

“Last Page in the Binder of Problems and Their Solutions

“It was not nuclear war that ended civilization—the popularly prophesied bang instead of a whimper; nor was it the lesser bang of widespread conventional war either, which, though it occurred, was merely an inescapable consequence of the end. It was not an agent of technology gone amok: a supermicrobe, a supervirus (mutated or from space or of the computer variety), a nanotechnobe, or some meddling into the sacred text of deoxyribonucleic acid. Nor was it a turning away from a god, nor an asteroid flung in response to such a slight. No, it was nothing of these sorts.

“Instead, the end came as result of deficit spending and deficit trading, which they’d ignored so long that it was believed a part of the natural order of things. And though they knew better (really they did), they began to print money to stave off the collapse of the economy, the very thing they’d so relentlessly and utterly undermined all these years; and by doing so made it that much worse, inevitable, and terrible in the end.

“It bought a little more time, which was the most important thing of all; delaying ever so briefly the blame and consequences—perhaps long enough to foist onto someone else’s watch. But the condemned man given an hour reprieve is just as dead at one o’clock in the morning as he would’ve been at midnight, not to say that the extra hour wouldn’t have been precious to him.” 

Final thoughts

A retrieval of this document from a future ruins proves me correct. Definitely a Pyrrhic victory at that point.  

All the above scenarios are in play now. Perhaps in a race to see which of them strikes the killing blow.

We face the immediate death of billions by the global warming cultists or the slow fade-out extinction of Mr. Zinnia Jones. The death of modern science and return of non-Western superstition and ignorance. Financial collapse for which no bailout, no matter how huge, pumps the balloon back up. A virus let loose. An endless war that triggers a madman to go nuclear.

Each of these is readily preventable and should not happen if we had responsible adults who only elect and appoint other responsible adults to positions of authority.

This is why our doom is assured.
