Dr. Roberts ponders a short list of Clown World hoaxes and crimes along with the ‘Murican acceptance thereof.

Having watched the insouciant American public for a lifetime, I have been convinced by them that they are incapable of defending their liberty and incapable of recognizing the challenges to their liberty. They forever fall for the “foreign enemy” pitch of the ruling establishment.

Insouciance is inconsistent with liberty.

I believe Jean Raspail saw the end of the Western World in 1973 and described it in his novel, The Camp of the Saints.  To stave off discouragement, I recite to myself the 9th century Anglo-Saxon poem, The Battle of Malvern Bridge, where the English Earl attempting to hold off the Viking raiders, tells his diminishing force: “As our numbers diminish, our will must grow stronger.”

So I fight on as our numbers diminish.

He’s right, of course. The few of us who remain standing must continue on even as the rest burns around us. Whereas quantity is its own quality, our quality must stand double or triple or more, becoming a quantity beyond numbers.
