Web Of Trust

@johnkonrad;

I grew up straddling two worlds—working-class Bronx grit and elite suburban privilege. In elite schools, they taught us the pen is mightier than the sword, and that intellect and policy shape the world.

But they missed a critical point: the pen is only mighty when it’s backed by overwhelming American strength and stability. And that foundation has crumbled.

Publications like the New York Time and The Economist still think they can sway opinion, that a well-timed hit piece will change the course of history. But they’re living in the past. The pen can’t move mountains when the foundations are shaking.

They forget that a pen is not literally stronger than a sword.

  1. “Elites” sold us out. Greed and ego. Export the jobs of their fellow citizens while at the same time tell you they have a planet to save and we’re all in this together with the world, which conveniently opened up new opportunities for their greed. International socialists, or iNazis, make a lot of money thanks to each of our authoritarian governments looking after their interests alone.

    1. I call them Tranzies for Trans-nationals. It applies to companies; international organisations such as IMF, WHO, World Bank, etc.; NGOs and charities; and individuals.

  2. Especially when they print bullshit and get a Pulitzer over it. And still keep the Pulitzer when it’s proven to be bullshit and never apologize.

  3. A fan of the Economist gave me a copy to read ten years ago. After reading the opening paragraphs of a couple of articles I realised it was really the Communist.

  4. “Intellect and policy shape the world…”
    When the self-proclaimed intelligentsia have no intellect, and their politicians have no policy (From “What shampoo do you use?” to “I’m not Donald Trump”) then their pretence of having some right to rule rings pretty hollow.

  5. Trudeau’s “cuts” to immigration are hoax, smoke and mirrors. It does nothing about familly reunification, refugees or illegals, which make up another 500,000.

    Note: there are 1 million new ones each year, and the government claims a reduction in immigration from 500,000 to 400,000.

  6. I trust our Dear Leaders.
    That if they are speaking,then they are lying.
    I trust that government minions are there because they cannot survive in the real world.
    I trust ,that when these creatures speak of “public Interest”, they mean their own interests.
    I trust them to cause untold damage to the productive members of society and then declare themselves the cure,for the evils they caused.
    I know them as The Parasitic Overload and trust that their actions will always confirm my knowledge.
