The State: Malevolent Clown or Uncaring Moron?
From Maui to New Orleans to Washington, officials are warned of catastrophic risks but do nothing to intervene
Aloha from Maui, where I am following up on my earlier investigation of the Lahaina Fire. News of the New Year’s Eve disaster in New Orleans rhymed with the Lahaina disaster (as well as the disasters of September 11, 2001 and Hurricane Katrina in 2005).
At a dinner party last night, my host told me about his sister-in-law, who, in April 2020, suffered from a racing heart and rapid breathing. With the benefit of hindsight, it now seems probable she having an anxiety attack from the daily barrage of news about the purported horrors of COVID-19. However, at the time, her family was worried that her shortness of breath was from the dread coronavirus, so they took her to hospital.
In spite of being ambulatory with normal blood oxygen saturation when she was admitted, she was intubated and put on a ventilator the next day. When my host’s wife caught wind of this, she tried to intervene, which initiated a major conflict with the hospital. Ultimately she prevailed in extracting her sister from the hospital death trap, but the intubation and ventilation seemed to have done some kind of neurological damage, and her sister died two years later.
We now know that the CARES ACT of March 25, 2020 incentivized hospitals to code patients as suffering from COVID-19 and to place them on ventilators as quickly as possible.
Since those dark days of 2020, while pondering the official pandemic response, I’ve often been reminded of what the Joker tells Batman during the interrogation scene in Batman: The Dark Knight.
Since 2001, we’ve witnessed a series of catastrophes that were predictable and predicted in the clearest possible terms.
9/11 Terrorist Attacks (New York & Washington)
Hurricane Katrina (New Orleans 2005) LSU Professor Warns Years in Advance.
Lahaina Fire (Maui 2023): Everyone With Brain Understood Risk Since 2018.
Bourbon Street Attack (New Orleans, New Year’s Eve 2024): City Officials Warned in 2019.
Is the state—both at the federal and state levels—a malevolent clown or an uncaring moron?
A mixture of both I fear, with the morons being manipulated by the malevolent.
John I recommend a reading of the curses of God on a nation of rebellion described in the bible in Deuteronomy chapter 28. The words "The LORD will smite you with madness and blindness and confusion of mind". A New Testament version of this principal at work is Romans chapter 1 where it talks about how "since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a base mind and to improper conduct". The events from 9/11 to J6 are so numerous that shows insanity is at work in those governing our land. The event that occurred in East Palestine with the burning of cancer causing chemicals comes to mind as being down foolishly without any kind of clear thinking or rationale. This nation by rejecting the laws of God are being cursed with confusion and base minds. The answer from the bible is simple, the American people need to turn back to the Lord Jesus which is what this nation was covenanted upon.
