Doug Casey On What Comes Next


Doug Casey on the Trump Assassination Attempt and What Comes Next


Doug Casey: The official narrative is still crystallizing, as all the government employees and bureaucrats who were supposedly responsible for Trump’s safety scurry about to ensure their careers aren’t adversely affected. Now that Kim Cheatle, the security hen in charge of the Secret Service, has resigned to collect her fat pension as a public mea culpa, the Secret Service and FBI will conduct internal investigations. A few people may be reprimanded and placed on administrative paid leave for a couple of weeks. A question will be asked as to whether it was a lone nut or part of a broader conspiracy. The odds are 99 out of 100 they’ll conclude the former, whether or not it’s true. They definitely won’t dare find there was any conspiracy within the Secret Service to take Trump out…

Many more things will come out showing how poorly managed the Secret Service has become. For instance, I understand physical qualifications used to include the ability to run a mile and a half in under 12 minutes. That’s been dropped to 20 minutes. To me, it seems certain that top Secret Service guys are going to leave. Serious professionals will find it too demoralizing to stick around as standards degrade and the ranks are filled with Wokesters.

I suspect this has already happened with the FBI. The corruption set in long ago with the CIA. And in different ways, with all of the 15 armed Praetorian agencies. I don’t take any news or analysis they put forth at face value. This is a time for critical thinking, which, as we recently discussed, is the process of questioning the validity of everything and pursuing the answers that are given until you’ve arrived at a reasonable conclusion. Regrettably, most Americans accept whatever the government tells them as fact.

The other thing that’s certain is that the blue and the red people really don’t like each other and can’t communicate. The Progressive blue people actively hate the red MAGA people. The red people have a much longer, slower fuse. But an event like this can solidify their feelings and they could wind up hating the blue people as much as the blue people already hate them.

It is ironic the use of colors to define groups. Especially when red signifies agitation and blue calm and yet the groups are opposite in their respective demeanor. Same with liberal and conservative. It should more closely resemble the mindset. There is nothing that resembles liberal thought patterns. Seems more psychotic, agitated, fascist, rigid, criminal, fringe. True definition of liberal would represent the ability to change and look at alternatives and that is surely not representative of those that refer to themselves as liberal, blue, or left.
