Run-Up to Panic

I dislike conspiracy theories. I was once threatened for not believing in one. Not exactly the way to my heart.

But gee whiz, anyone with half an eye can see that this world sure has become easy to scare. And a lot of people have openly worked to make it so.

Here in New Jersey, our Far Left euthanasia-loving governor has admitted they’re gonna have to shut down all the public schools “for a long time… in a matter of days,” on account of the coronavirus. (Wait’ll they find out how well we can get by without schools and colleges. Heh-heh!) It’s happening all over the country.

I’m not here to propose a conspiracy theory. I’m here to jog your memory.

How long ago was it that the nooze media and certain politicians were trying to scare our pants off with measles, fercryinoutloud?

And then we had that whole Green New Deal/Greta Thunberg business, literally trumpeting the end of the world in–what? ten years? seven?–and this time trying to stampede us into the arms of a world government run by commie wackos. Greta sez How Dare You! Government gotta DO SOMETHING. Etc., etc., blah-blah.

Have we discovered panic can be habit-forming? Let me be the first to say so, in case they’re handing out a Nobel Prize.

So now we can’t buy toilet paper at our supermarket. And now we are asked to believe the same nooze media, the same politicians, who have been caught brazenly lying about Climbit Change more times than you can count with an abacus. Which is not to say the coronavirus isn’t real. But it is to say it’s awful hard to believe people who have become notorious for lying and spreading scare stories. And whose political agenda requires it.

One can’t help being suspicious, anymore.

  1. I was thrilled when I heard schools were closing. I’m even happier to think it might be for a long time. Getting America’s youth out of that toxic environment for a few weeks, or even months, or even years, or just forget about it altogether, would be so healthy for them. Maybe they’ll even start to think again and maybe even for themselves – whoa I think i’m getting carried away here. Anyway, what’s not to be suspicious of? My political agenda requires it.

    1. If I were ten years old right now, and had just heard that school was canceled for heaven knows how long–oh, rapture inexpressible!
      As it is, I’m kinda happy–silver lining to the cloud, y’know.

  2. I think it is a conspiracy theory even though the virus is real. I think a lot of the panic has been heightened due to media hype. And it is an election year and the Democrats are desperate. So, why not scare everybody half to death and tank the economy at the same time. It’s Trump that’s got to go, you know. Can’t have him getting a second term. Oh no! And besides all the hype there’s Nancy Pelosi trying to push through a bill for emergency funds that also includes some financial goodies for Planned Parenthood. I’ll clean my hands clean and be extra careful but I’m not going to be scared silly by the virus. But I’m laying up a supply of chicken noodle soup just in case I get bit.

    1. The president was able to get that sleazy Planned Parenthood money out of the bill. Heaven forbid another Democrat ever comes to power.
