Live not by lies.

The title of this post comes from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.  He thought it was a bad idea. Living by lies.

Here’s an example of a lie that we’re forced to live by:

One common denominator that explains why previously successful societies implode is their descent into fantasies. A collective denial prevents even discussion of existential threats and their solutions.

Something like that is happening in the United States. Eight million illegal immigrants have entered the United States by the deliberate erasure of the southern border.

Apparently, the Biden administration sees some unstated advantage in destroying U.S. immigration law and welcoming in would-be new constituents.

Yet, the more the millions arrive, the more Joe Biden and his Homeland Security director Alejandro Mayorkas flat out lie that “the border is secure.”^<1>

This raises several issues.  Number one is “Is this particular egregious lie a ‘collective’ one?”  In this case, over the decades since Ronald Reagan wimped out on immigration, the issue of a wide open border has been something relegated to the dog food section of the newspaper.  

Inssssteeeeadddd . . . (1) Unisex bathrooms, (2) drag queen hours in the government schools, (3) biological males competing in women’s sports, (4) the joys of lesbian parenthood, (5) someone being “disrespected” for no reason at all, (6) homicidal cops,^<2> (7) the path of our ambitious young scholars “from high school to prison,” and, of course, (8) the deliberate under funding of schools in “underserved” areas are the sort of issues that actually scream at us from the front pages of our monopoly MSM. 

We have a duty to educate ourselves it’s true, but if we had an honest, patriotic press, the citizen wouldn’t exactly have to wade upstream into a thick stream of molasses to get to where some of the basic facts are readily on display.  Every bleeping time.

The citizen hears about “asylum” and “political oppression” in dastardly foreign climes and “jobs that Americans won’t do” but never about the cost to Americans of welfare dependency of foreigners — and how they bankrupt hospitals through flooding emergency rooms for indigestion or stubbed toes — or about the jobs that invaders steal from Americans. 

This sort of stuff gushes over the land like some kind river of Ghostbusters slime and the average Muhammad, Ikechukwu, or Mahika in flyover country starts from way back in any effort to figure out what the heck is going on. 

The problem here, of course, is that it’s the fidelity to an astounding lie — our “secure border” in this case — on the part of our federal government and the inability of citizens to make known their vehement objections to massive, unlimited, third-world invasion AND to force any kind of a reversal of this ghastly plague.  No, we have to watch while the, so help me, Border Patrol use bolt cutters to cut through the barbed wire laid by Texas governor Abbott and, get this, waive the invading “migrants” through into our country.

This is how it works in “our democracy.”  Scum-of-the-earth politicians who number from 5 (Supreme Court majority) to 218 (majority in the House of Representatives + 51 (majority in Senate) + 1 (vice president) + 1 (president) decide among themselves make it up as they go along and decide which snipe we’ll collectively all go hunting for.  Voila, the latest national snipe hunt.  That would be saving Ukraine just in case you’ve not been paying attention.  Top priority.  (At least 4,000 miles over the horizon as the bribes fly so minimum requirement for American hysterical involvement is comfortably exceeded.)

Examples of snipe hunts abound.  The necessity of drag queen hours, surgical mutilation of children, porn in school libraries, reparations, white terrorism at school board meetings, BLM, racism, “insurrection,” unprovoked Russian invasion, destroying Syria, murdering Gaddafi, Donald Trump’s “denialism,” ripping Kosovo from Serbia, and playing God among the nations as the “leader of the free world.” 

Pray, what is particularly free about our particular world when you can be prosecuted for exercising your right to free speech or murdered by a Capitol Police officer who then gets a promotion?  But I digress.

PS — the unstated advantage in destroying U.S. immigration law and welcoming in would-be new constituents is to replace the white people of America and transform the country into a diverse glop of people with no emotional or intellectual attachment to it.  What these swine have in mind is the obliteration of the grandest experiment in human self government ever known to man.

There you have it.
