Tensions rise as the green fuse drives the flowers of springtime (and thank you, Dylan Thomas, for the loan.)
Too many things are out of whack. Some are actually breaking.
A physics of events is at work that will bring our affairs back to true, but expect it to be painful.
Okay, you’ve been warned.
Asia, especially, suffers bigly with the Persian Gulf shut-down.
For decades these countries took the oil flows for granted without having to do anything. No thoughts of maritime security. No cares for the chaos Iran sowed across the region (and beyond). Leave the tanker insurance to London.
Now, they are rationing the diesel, gasoline, natgas, and aviation fuel.
For the moment they are just stunned. Soon, they’ll be hollering, stomping, jumping up and down crying woo-woo-woo.
Europe, for years, has garishly, and in plain sight, planned its own journey to a de-industrialized neo-medieval Palookaville.
The poster-child, Germany, destroyed its energy prospects with lunatic glee, in thrall to retarded climate change politics, while the European Union turned into a devouring mother, stole her children’s sovereign agency, and herded them into a Klaus Schwab death camp.
No more atomic energy for you! No more cheap gas from Russia. No more heat in wintertime. Jihad for entertainment. The lights are going out and it might be too late to make other arrangements.
Don’t think for a moment that Iran was not a threat to the world, and especially to The Great Satan, as they styled us.
The Persians have been hostage to a cult for half a century, and all cults are crazy. This one, the reign of the Shia ayatollahs, was apocalyptic in the pure sense of the word. They prayed and labored avidly for the destruction of others and relished their own martyrdom. The craziest part was thinking that the USA under Donald Trump might possibly roll over for them.
Quit swallowing those black pills, everybody.
Iran is not some super-monster out of the Marvel Comics movies. Iran doesn’t have the mojo to shut down the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely. It will run out of missiles, drones, torpedoes, mines, launch sites, and a command structure for deploying any of that.
It has converted the other neutral Gulf states into raging enemies eager to help the US — and by extension, most ironically, Israel, too.
This rearrangement of interests in the Middle East would have been unthinkable a mere month ago.
We have way more to worry about here in America with our own apocalyptic coteries and claques.
And our broken institutions. Is it not obvious that the Democratic Party exists now solely to punish half of the country that would prefer to not wreck our republic?
The Democratic Party has no other program. It’s just another death cult.
That’s why you were made to wait four and half hours in some far-off precinct of the airport for a flight that you were guaranteed to miss.
Well, at least that’s over for now, since the Senate passed a spending bill at two o’clock in the morning today and DHS will be up-and-running again — while Congress takes two weeks off for Easter.
Now consider those figures and factions in the Republican Party who won’t lift a finger to allow election reform.
Thune, McConnell (what little is left of him), Murkowski, Tillis, maybe Collins.
What possible calculus judders their brains?
They are about to be drowned in a tsunami of revelation about organized ballot fraud in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
How will they explain that?
Maybe “election denial” wasn’t a thing all along. Thune’s game is plain stupid. He’s engineering his own downfall as majority leader as he attempts to usher the SAVE Act into a ditch. Our election procedures are patently insane, and only the insane fail to notice. So, failing to notice is an option, at least.
Tomorrow, Saturday, brings another Neville Roy Singham production of “No Kings” demos across the nation, a field-day for the senile.
They want to abolish ICE. They want illegal aliens to stay here and they want them in the voting booth.
Go out and ask them why that’s a good idea.
