Day to day life in America is pretty darned good – provided you’re in the right place at the right time. This assessment generally describes ordinary living on an individual basis. On a macro level – considering all the wrong places and wrong times – American life is becoming a race to the bottom. The bottom always seems just a little deeper with every passing relay.

As an aside, it’s not just an American problem. The June jihad continued yesterday in France.

Forty-nine innocent people were murdered by a psychotic savage this weekend in another milestone in the race. These victims are the latest in a huge line of people getting the short in of every stick imaginable.

The nation is decades into an idiotic worldwide campaign to meddle in each and every affair the world over whether they concern us or not (usually they do not). At the same time untold numbers of people displaced by the meddling and angered accordingly are brought to the U.S. where they increasingly seek revenge on the West (nightclubs, political rallies, etc.). After each attack these crazed programs are renewed with zeal while, simultaneously, freedoms and normal life for normal people are curtailed. For those who survive the attacks, that is.

So it is and will be with the Battle of Orlando. The government angers Muslims. The government imports angry Muslim to America. The Muslims shoot Americans. The government schemes to disarm Americans. It’s almost like a plan. An evil plan. They’re not just after your guns either. They want to completely change your way of life.

Citizens are now subject to measures formerly reserved for prison inmates everywhere they go – metal detectors, police dogs, police armed with sub-machine guns, random searches in public, etc. The new normal is insane. It gets worse with every attack, every battle – 9/11 should have been the wake up call of all wake up calls but it wasn’t. It was just a big chapter in the cycle.

9/11 is still plagued by unanswered questions. Orlando is no different. See: here and here for starters. (Some of these authors’ questions have already been explained; others likely never will). Some aspects of this attack and others like it are explained too fast, too conveniently. After most mass attacks the FBI immediately seems to know way too much about the perpetrator(s). It seems like part of a script. All of this helps perpetuate the cycle of government lunacy.

One thing we consistently miss these days is peace. A think-tank in Australia produces a Global Peace Index, ranking countries in terms of war, crime, terrorism, violence, discord and dissention. The U.S. ranks 103. One hundred two other countries are more peaceful – including Sri Lanka and Haiti.

We’re number 103! We’re number 103!

All the while our “leaders” tout new and innovative ways to give us more of the same. If this is the new reality, it isn’t working. Something has to give. Something needs to change.
