There’s an infinite gulf between respecting the power of something and living in fear of it.
That message applies equally to any health emergency as well as our governments.
But so much damage to the psyche of America has already been done. I see it all the time living in Florida. I see it on the faces of the people coming in from the locked-down states. They are afraid to walk freely.
They look like they were just released from prison. Because they were.
Frankly, they’re a bit freaked out about how casual we are about the whole thing. And this isn’t to say we don’t still respect the virus. But we won’t let it consume us with fear.
Fear is the antithesis of liberty.
Fear makes people crazy. It robs them of their reason and allows unscrupulous politicians to run wild stoking it for their own cynical purposes.
And the cynical purpose du jour is the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset. It intends to destroy the current economy and build it back better by taking total control over the flow of capital via surveillance and digital money.
Politically, the Democrats are committing hari kiri continuing this fear campaign. Most people don’t want to live in fear. Most people went along with this out of politeness, not ideology.
They are fleeing the states with the most draconian laws concerning COVID.
Their businesses are gone. Their children depressed if not suicidal.
The fear is a narrative to mask the real problem we’re facing, which the World Economic Forum and the Democrats know all too well.
Every day that Congress passes another stimulus package or another pork-filled budget, is another day in which we reach the point where we’re issuing new debt to service the old debt.
Paying our societal Visa bill with our Mastercard and hoping no one notices.
That’s why there’s all this worry today over rising interest rates.
For the layman who only knows he has rent to pay, workers on leave, customers going bankrupt and children not getting educated, he doesn’t care about any of the grand dreams of politicians and oligarchs.
He looks at the people in Texas and Florida and says, “Something’s not right here.”
And we here in Florida look at them and go, “Yeah, and it ain’t us, y’all!”
Because it isn’t a recovery we’re now facing, even though major states like Florida and Texas are operating close to normal now. It’s a loss of confidence in the people in charge of this insanity.
Because interest rates also rise when the investors, the buyers of the debt, look at the landscape and say, “Nope, I need a better return than 1% on ten-year money because I don’t think you’re likely to pay me back.”
That’s what has the Biden administration spooked right now. The fear they are projecting onto us via COVID-19 is really their fear that we’ll stop believing a word that comes out of their mouths.
When that day comes, likely sometime later this year, rates will rise in such a way that no amount of money will control. So, no matter how much they try to buy us off with free money they’re just putting off the day when they will be the ones that pay the price.
