Jeffrey Tucker has ambitiously taken the temperature of the political, economic and social world with an article titled: “The Coup, the Calamity, and the Conspiracy.” I highly recommend a full read.
Tucker begins with this graphic:
Here is an excerpt:
[Y]ou could be more realistic and see that this was not a mistake at all. It was entirely intentional, the unfolding of a dark scheme hatched by an indescribably sadistic ruling class. Indeed, if this had all been an accident, we surely would have heard someone apologize by now.
There is also the planning involved. There was Event 201, the lesser-known Crimson Contagion, and many others. They are usually described in the mainstream press as rehearsals for unplanned contingencies, like resiliency training. Absurd. This was plotted far in advance. We have all the receipts. To realize this and connect the dots does not make you a conspiracy theorist. It makes you a person with the capacity to think.
To deny nefarious motives and schemes makes you impossibly naive to the point of sedation. At best, it makes you ill-read in history.
After five years, what can we say was the plan and purpose of this calamity? We all have our views. Certainly within Brownstone ranks, there are many opinions. We argue among ourselves all the time. Coming up with a clean and clear explanation is not easy because there are so many moving parts and so many industrial opportunists who took advantage of the crisis to cash out.
This is such an expansive article that resonated with me over and over.
I have many of the same concerns, but I won’t say much here. I will say (as Tucker mentions in the early paragraphs) that I’m sure how well coordinated all of the powerful players are. Just because they are well-entrenched, monied and politically connected doesn’t mean that they necessarily agree with each other day to day, much less year to year. But in my mind, there is definitely a hell of a lot of coordination.
The best solution to this horrific anti-Democratic mess is a vigorous, courageous and free press, but the powers-that-be know this deeply and they’ve got the formerly half-respectable “journalism” industry 95% locked down.
So in the meantime, it’s Jeffrey Tucker, independent media and people like you and me doing what we can. It feels like a David and Goliath battle, especially when you see Trump kowtowing to Pfizer, just like Biden did and harris would have
