In Florida a minister is arrested for holding worship service; in the Greensboro area four ministers are cuffed for violating a stay-at-home order as they peacefully protest outside an open-for-business abortion clinic.

Stories of employees being stopped and questioned by cops as they drive to their essential" jobs are everywhere.

I really need some sort of meditative excursion if I am to hold myself together. Perhaps this columns exercise Is my version of the saccharine My Favorite Things" ditty from The Sound of Music. Ugh how I hated those musicals whose records my sister would play daily back in the days of... of the Vietnam War on TV and of us young teenagers wondering if we would live to see twenty. But there you go: CoronaVirus isnt the first television-borne panic in our history. Furthermore the Vietnam terror (unlike this one) was all too real for thirteen-year-olds around the nation. Body bags were traveling at much more than flu-season rate and they were filled with the remains of many who were scarcely old enough to shave.
Hence one favorite thing" that a father might remember in these days of a collapsing republic is that his boys at least are relatively safe. My son hasnt grown up with the draft and slaughter in a faraway rice paddy looming over his horizon. Thank God for that.
Theres no doubt that the United States of America is rotting rotting even as it clings to life. The President is readying the way for yet a fourth relief" bill (as opposed to letting us get back to our lives and to the inevitable deaths associated with normal living). As a republic were now moribund for sureworse than if CV-19 were in fact bubonic plague. Our economy is DOA. Even without the legal alien work force that Mr. Trump wants to multiply (as citizen unemployment skyrockets)a diaspora that sends billions of American dollars home" every yearwe have no chance of ever paying off our debt.
Our constitutional freedoms are all lying in the morgue. This very column may be banned from the Internet as uncooperative": news about the round-the-clock labors of Wuhans crematoria has certainly been nixed. We dare not even mention that COVID-19 began in China let alone that the bats in which it incubated were not in fact sold in Wuhans wet markets". Our media simply parrot the Chinese Communist Partys propaganda like feather-brained pets while also churning out hysteria-on-steroids exclusives" and streaming contextless figures across the screen. This past week for instance a local broadcast offered a nurses self-interview before her iPhone the gist of which was that she preferred staying home with her kids to risking the most lethal infection shed ever seen in her young career. Terrifying indeed... and also fully within the bounds of subjectified disoriented panic-baiting. A free republic without objective sources of information cannot stand.
Yes but... but moonlight sometimes filters through the clouds even at midnight. At least on our present course the Chinese wont be releasing a truly deadly virus on usmaybe another of the 1500 species of CoronaVirus reported (or not reported) to exist within their treaty-violating biochemical labs: one whose mortality rate is 90 percent rather than something like .067 (assuming with the ever-speculative Dr. Fauci that more than 200 thousand of us die by September). Given our present panic the Chinese have seen all they needed to see. Xi Jinping wont be allowing Little Rocket Man to microwave our power grid with an EMP. Our future is assured as a Chinese colonya consumer of Chinese goods and supplier of sensitive technology to Chinas colonization of the solar system and beyond. (As of this moment our spendthrift Congress as done nothing to wrest the manufacture of penicillin and other vital drugs from the PRC.) Just as weve surrendered all our constitutional rights to be safe from a death that almost certainly wont come from CV-19 (and certainly will come from some direction one day or another) so the same spirit of surrender ensures that the Xis China wont waste any nukes on us. Thanks for that Lady Moon.
Or why should we have to fear a showdown with Russia now whose state-of-the-art nuclear arsenal could strategically vaporize our nerve centers while were still trying to launch missiles that havent been tested in forty years? The Russians like the Chinese have to be entirely cool with what theyre witnessing on our panicked shores. Solzhenitsyns generation was stacked into boxcars like sardines shipped to Siberia with only compressed bodies for heat debarked in snow drifts and marched barefoot to tent cities where they were served a piece of frozen fish once a day. These Americans... you tell them they could die of a cold and they dismantle their free society before your eyes. Why launch a war against them? Whats to fight?
We have no real enemies any longer. We have bundled ourselves into a gift package and stuck a bow on it: our enemies may simply wait for delivery. Peace brother.
I am actually thankful for Putin in a way because I know that he sees Russias future as it appears in Xis tea leaves. I know he must understand that the Chinese dragon is slavering to devour Manchuria... and then on from there. Putin will need all the allies he can get. Obviously the West Coast of our mighty nation is poised to become Xis whore the latest addition to his harem. The drug cartels that have already taken over Mexico are conduits for Chinese poisons throughout the Southwest. I can well imagine them doing double duty as a sort of freelancing beachhead against emasculated border-security forces. Havent they already won D-Day? Didnt Mr. Obama in unguarded moments speak longingly and lovingly of an armed national police forceand did his Justice Department" not arm MS-13 and the Zetas? All that remains is for the Chinese paymasters of todays anarchic resistance" to rumble in and mop up at least among the Pacific states.
But the South? But Middle America? As we fragment into virtually impotent pieces perhaps some of us will be wooed by Vlad. I feel sure of it: hes already making nice to Israeland we Southerners trust Israel more than we do Washington. Im confident that we would choose Russian bestialization over Chinese insectification. I devoutly hope we would. Id rather deal with Denisovan Man than with the Fire Ants. Putin at least makes favorable noises in the direction of Christianity (unlike say the mayors of New York and academic ant colonies like Athens Georgia). Aleksandr Dugin has advised him that human beings are incapable of ruling themselves... and well what did the history of the late great United States do to disprove that theory?
Yet if Christianity is trueand I would sooner die in the illusion that it is so than live in the reality" that it is notthen all of them Xi and Putin and the Kim clan... the Trumps and the Obamas the Pelosis and the Clintons and the McConnells and even His Excellency Dr. Fauci... all of them must come to naught in their worldly empire-building their progressive vision of a wholly safe wholly organized wholly gilded future. I made a video a few months back wherein I said that if a home invader hauled me out onto the lawn at midnight had his lieutenant keep a gun to my head as he ransacked my house and then gave the order to hit my off-switch as he packed up my last sight of this world as I bled out might be the stars of Orion and his Dog. Betelgeuse Altair Deneb... Sirius... they would be beautiful as beautiful as ever they were on those evenings of my teenage years when Id crouch behind a telescope and dream of the life before me (a life without Vietnam). And now true life would yawn majestically before me and the constellations would frame its gate. Not only that... but from my new life my real and eternal life I would cast a quick glance back at the punk whod just executed me and his masterand I would see the pitiable agony of their souls shriveling away to nothing to trash blowing in the wind as time opened out into its eternal present.
Thanks for that Lord of All.
Somewhere between here and there Xi Jinping may get a tiny taste of his just comeuppance while his paltry flesh yet draws this worlds foul disease-laden air. His own people tired of being reduced to ants may rise up and smother him in their machine-gunned bodies. For the corpses of Solzhenitsyns comrades in torment Putin has expressed compassion once or twice; but he and his confessor Dugin may find that such expressions are inadequatethat the corpses wont stay buried. The puppet-masters pulling the strings of Middle Earths Faucis and Comeys and Brennans and Barrs... the Soroses the Gateses the Davos crowd the Club of Rome (and yes theyre all plural all legion and ever-renewing in Earth time)... will find no real peace: certainly not in the next world but not really even in this one. Indeed all of them will turn forever on the racks where they have cleverly bound themselves: turn in torture for a time here and now and then forever more on that throne of God" which they fashioned for themselves.
In the meantime... in mean time" middle time... theres no point in deploring my fellow citizens cowardice incuriosity subjection and infantilism. We are merely what we are if we refuse to become what we might have been in our Creator. One fights awhile among comrades who dont care against a foe who wont come into the open... and then one lies down bleeds out and takes the gate through Orion.
Thanks for that. Midnight is beautiful.
