Some speculation…
…and for the first time since before many, perhaps any of us were born, there is real desire to drag it into the light and expunge it from our lives.
This in regards to the effort of exposing, in more detail than ever, the corruption to be found in the spending of the United States government.
But why? That’s the question I keep asking myself. Why this effort? Why now? Why is it happening? Why, so relatively speaking, quietly?
Not that I am complaining. At least, not much. For the most part, I am on their team…or, at least, I like what they are doing.
But why are they doing it? They have never done so in my life. And I have lived a pretty long life.
My guess…
Too many powerful people desire it. And not for my benefit or yours, but theirs. Too many powerful people have figured out that the only foundation on which they can stay on top is the good old U.S. of A. Nowhere else. On the global playing field, perhaps only China presents another long-term possibility, but no one in China cares about American billionaires; China is not a plausible option.
The foundation has to be saved, no matter the cost. Because it seems that there is no other foundation on which they can sustain and grow their own personal empires.
I think this is what’s happening. It explains Musk and the rest of the gazillionaires perfectly. There is no other foundation on which they can build their tower of babel, so they want to save the only one that will serve.
Who will use their military to defend their intellectual property if not the USA? Who will pay to launch their rockets if not the USA? Who will ensure their social media and search engines and video channels will continue to grow if not the USA? Where else other than the USA can they build and protect their wealth? Who will protect the Zionist state if not the USA?
The answer is simple. No one else.
Conclusion
For once, we have the billionaires on our side. Not strategically, but tactically. And if that’s all I can get (as if I have a say in the matter), I will take it. The next 12 – 18 months will tell the tale.
This is why I really like reading you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eric. I think you have been around about as long as anyone, and I appreciate it.
DeleteI think you are correct on this topic. Libertarians and the "new elites" are aligned because the Establishment has become so dysfunctional and unstable and tyrannical. In this phase, the "new elites" are dissidents from the Establishment so we populist dissidents are aligned with them, mostly. This is why so many different groups feel represented by them. You have libertarians, Christian Nationalists, normie Christians, fascists, monarchists, hard core right wingers, and hardcore Catholics all more or less happy with the new Trump/Musk coalition.
ReplyDeleteI suspect at some point that won't be the case after reading Rothbard's Betrayal Of The American Right. It was interesting to read that all those disparate groups were represented in Buckley's National Review cadre. But then as they gained power they jettisoned the more fringe groups, starting with libertarians but by 1970ish, they were the Conservative Arem of the Establishment and all dissident groups on the right were kicked out of the club. So much so that Rothbard started his "I'm a leftist" stage.
That doesn't have to be the case this time and I think there is a wider liberty movement now that could help keep us at the table. If Ron Paul really does get to audit the Fed with Musk, and if the IRS really is audited and there is a plan to get rid of income tax, those would all be signs for optimism.

"I suspect at some point that won't be the case after reading Rothbard's Betrayal Of The American Right."
DeleteThis is likely, or at least possible. Musk implanting chips in our brains, the division over H1b visas, and, always, the Zionist issue.
Interesting thought. You might have latched onto it.
ReplyDelete"If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” -- Psalm 11:3, Berean Standard Bible
More to the point of this discussion, if the foundations are destroyed, what can the elites do to maintain their lifestyle?
Here's hoping there are enough of them who have thought this through and decided to change course.
