The Government Is Fomenting Mass Hysteria

by
“This country has been having a nationwide nervous breakdown since 9/11. A nation of people suddenly broke, the market economy goes to shit, and they’re threatened on every side by an unknown, sinister enemy. But I don't think fear is a very effective way of dealing with things—of responding to reality. Fear is just another word for ignorance.”—Hunter S. Thompson, gonzo journalist We have become guinea pigs in a ruthlessly calculated, carefully orchestrated, chillingly cold-blooded experiment in how to control a population and advance a political agenda without much opposition from the citizenry. This is mind-control in its most sinister form. With alarming regularity, the nation is being subjected to a spate of violence that terrorizes the public, destabilizes the country, and gives the government greater justifications to crack down, lock down, and institute even more authoritarian policies for the so-called sake of national security without many objections from the citizenry. Take this latest shooting in Nashville, Tenn. The 28-year-old shooter ...

Like in 2019, when Tiger Woods won the Masters — his first Majors win in 11 years.

Or like in 2016, when the Cleveland Cavaliers overcame — for the first time in league history — a 3–1 deficit in the NBA Finals to defeat the defending champions, the Golden State Warriors, in game seven.  Other comebacks Another common comeback is a political comeback. Mark Sanford, a Republican ...

A Positive and Hopeful Sign in the Banking Crisis

by
Throughout the time during which Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank were going under, U.S. officials were steadfastly assuring the American people that the U.S. banking system “remains sound and resilient.” The purpose of the assurances was to discourage people from withdrawing or transferring their deposits from smaller, regional banks. An article at CNN Business this past Saturday pointed out that despite those repeated assurances, “Deposits at small US banks dropped by a record amount following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank on March 10, data released on Friday by the Federal Reserve showed. Deposits at small banks fell $119 billion to $5.46 trillion in the week ended March 15, which was more than twice the previous record drop and the biggest decline as a percent of overall deposits since the week ended March 16, 2007.” In other words, many American depositors obviously did not believe all those assurances about the “soundness and resiliency” of the ...
