We’re living in confusing times.  Up is down.  Black is white.  Right is wrong, and wrong is right.  We see our society crumbling right before our eyes.  We watch as our God given freedoms are stripped from us by corrupt political hacks who would gladly burn the Constitution for another term in office or another crooked investment deal.  The media, which once prided itself on keeping public officials honest, is even more corrupt than the politicians.  We have a president, Corrupt Demented Imbecile Joe Biden, who by any honest metric is an abject failure.  Yet, in the face of spiking crime, record inflation, and an illegal alien border invasion, the media regularly reports on Biden’s  “successes.”  But even the lying media has to stretch to make that fit.  Last week, the military finally killed a terrorist it had been after for 21 years, and Democrats barely passed a bill designed to piss hundreds of billions more dollars down a “green energy” rathole.  This, the media told us, was Joe Biden’s best week.  Yikes!  Slowly but surely, we’re being conditioned to ignore reality and passively accept the Left-wing crap that’s being peddled for truth.  “Don’t believe your lying eyes, just listen to us.”  It’s surreal, as though it was all part of some movie and not reality.  Crime is rampant.  People don’t want to return to work in the office.  People, by and large don’t want to work at all, now accustomed to the prospect of more “stimulus” money.  They can’t afford to put food on the table or gas in their cars.  The cities are third world hell-holes.  But it’s OK because Joe Biden just had his best week.  It put me in mind of Kevin Bacon in Animal House, in the midst of a riot, repeating, “Remain calm.  All is well.”  And the strange thing is that the Woke Leftists really believe all is well.  It’s part of their psychosis.  By any reasonable standard, crime is out of control.  People are afraid to walk the streets.  The Woke solution to the problem is to defund the police, let all the criminals out of jail, and refuse to prosecute crimes being committed by career criminals.  Those of us who are still in touch with reality have noticed that there has been a steep decline in public safety, what with all the murders, rapes, robberies, and people being thrown in front of subway trains and such.  This onslaught, coupled with the resignations of thousands of police officers who are no longer permitted to do their jobs, has troubled us, but not the Woke Left.  Last week, George Soros, the man who gave us dozens of Prosecutors who refuse to enforce the law, wrote a column, defending his support of what he calls, “reform prosecutors.”  These are the prosecutors like Alvin Bragg in New York, Kim Fox in Chicago, and Chesa Boudin, who was so bad that even San Franciscans removed him from office.  Soros has spent his life undermining capitalism, which he views as an evil, and supporting what he calls a “One World” system, which he calls “an open society.”  Although, like any fascist, Soros talks about “democracy,” his “one world” has nothing to do with national determinism.  Soros’ world is a world in which the government controls everything, and the people just do what they’re told to do.  There is no room for American exceptionalism in Soros’ world.  His plan isn’t to bring the rest of the world up to our level, but to drag America down to the level of the rest of the world, which you may have noticed, is really fucked up.  Of the 8 billion people in the world, about 2 billion have some measure of freedom.  The remaining 6 billion are oppressed.  That’s what Soros has in store for us- Make America North Korea.  But Soros must be feeling the heat, hence his op ed.  In it, Soros resorts to gibberish which makes Joe Biden sound lucid.  He says our system is rife with injustices, and proclaims that, “the idea that we have to choose between justice and safety is false.”  I don’t know anybody who thinks we have to make that choice, but if they do I’m sure that refusing to bring criminals to justice is not a recipe for safety.  Soros says we need to “invest” more (that means spend money) to prevent crime.  He bemoans the fact that we spend $81 billion to keep people incarcerated.  Apparently he missed the fact that, last week, the Senate voted to spend $80 billion for 87,000 more IRS agents, whose job it will be to turn productive citizens into criminals.  Perhaps they’re emptying the prisons of real criminals to make room for the new enemies of the State, decent citizens who fail to fall in line.  Soros recommends education and job training programs.  (We’ve been funding them for 60 years).  Soros claims that the crime wave is not the fault of the prosecutors he got elected, citing “research” that shows no connection, and the fact that crime is up in places where he hasn’t yet bought the DA’s office.  If true, I don’t think emptying the jails and refusing to prosecute career criminals is the remedy.  He cites to a rise in mental illness following Covid lockdowns. (And whose fault is that?).  Soros also said something so convoluted that I had to go back and check that it didn’t come from Biden or Kamala, crime is being caused by “a pull-back in policing in the wake of public criminal justice reform protests.” Huh?  So, it’s not his fault, but he supports pulling back policing, and protesting in support what he considers criminal justice reform, so it is his fault?  Soros promises not to stop buying DA’s offices, and exhibiting the signs of advanced Woke brain damage, he tells us that, “Judging by the results, the public likes what it’s hearing.”  I guess he means that portion of the public that hasn’t yet been killed, raped or robbed.  Wow!  The country is on fire, and Soros vows to keep pouring on the coal.  “Remain Calm.  All is well.”  “It’s not me, and the public likes what I’m doing anyway.”  Which puts me in mind of another movie, The Wizard of Oz, “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.”  But you better pay attention.  Otherwise, when the curtain gets pulled back, everything we’ve worked for all our lives will be gone.
