A Darkness Is Spreading Across the U.S.

by BILL BONNER

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

– George Orwell, 1984

POITOU, FRANCE – Today, a darkness spreads across the country.
From coast to coast, we are benighted… in a total eclipse of good sense.
We ended last week wondering what future generations will think of us. We take away our monuments in the dead of night… and spit on the graves of our ancestors in the light of day.

Smashing Statues

A now-famous photo shows a stout young woman in North Carolina stomping on a statue of a Confederate soldier.

It is not a monument to the Confederacy or to the generals or to slavery. It is merely a statue remembering the sacrifices and suffering of ordinary soldiers.
The common man in the South had no truck with slavery. He owned no slaves. Instead, his earnings were reduced because he had to compete with slave labor.
But when the call went out to defend his country, he took the patriotic bait, as men always do.
More than a quarter of a million soldiers died on the Southern side alone – killed by bullets or disease… hunger or cold.
You’d think that people today – comfortable in their air-conditioned apartments… fed to a fault… and succored by student loans, Obamacare, unemployment comp, and disability – could find it in their plump little hearts to forgive the mistakes of their forebears and honor their suffering.
Nope.
Instead, we trash our grandfathers’ heroes, kick their gods, and smash their statues.
Yes, dear reader, today we are under assault, too. We suffer neither cold nor hunger. We take up arms not to protect our homeland, but to inflict murder and mayhem on people half a world away who can do us no real harm.
But today, we are attacked by one preposterous thing after another, each of them even more absurd than the last.

Doom Update

Before we get to that, we promised to revisit our Doom Index.
You’ll recall that our research department has put together 11 indicators that – when aggregated – have coincided with the last two major blowups.
Has doom come closer? We asked our chief researcher, Joe Withrow:

We are primarily funded by readers. Please subscribe and donate to support us!

U.S. junk bond prices – one of our 11 indicators – have fallen nearly 2% since our last update. The ISM Manufacturing Index and railcar use – two of our other indicators – have fallen as well.
None of these moves are extreme enough to warrant the crash flag prior to getting third-quarter data… but they are worth mentioning.
And on a side note relating to your Diary entries this week: I got a call from family in western Virginia. Rumors are the young lefties are planning to march on the historic Robert E. Lee Hotel in Lexington.
The fruits of an American education, I suppose. It is beginning to look as though there is an inverse correlation between total student loans outstanding and total logic outstanding. If we could only figure out how to make that a Market Insight!

Yes, Joe is onto something. The more time people spend in schools, the dumber they get.
And now, the typical American’s brain has been so dulled by the internet and education that he can’t think straight.

Bigger Storm

We were supposed to believe, for example, that the Russians hijacked the U.S. presidential election, putting Donald J. Trump in the White House.
Congress imposed stiffer sanctions on Russia by an almost universal vote in favor, despite a lack of evidence the hack ever happened.
Even if it had happened, it is hard to see how disclosing the internal deliberations of the Democratic National Committee would have made voters less able to make an informed choice!
Then we were supposed to believe that the president of Syria had attacked his own people with chemical weapons.
In response, Team Trump committed an act of war against a foreign nation… even though many experts thought it unlikely that the Syrian government was behind the chemical attack.
And now, we are supposed to believe that Mr. Trump is a “racist” and a “white supremacist.”
His Treasury secretary, Steve Mnuchin – a Jew – was urged by his Yale classmates to resign. No more proof that today’s education system turns its students into morons is needed.
These are Yale graduates… hundreds of them:

We call upon you, as our friend, our classmate, and as a fellow American, to resign in protest of President Trump’s support of Nazism and white supremacy. We know you are better than this, and we are counting on you to do the right thing.

What?
There is no evidence of any kind showing Trump to be a Nazi supporter. A fool? An imbecile? An opportunist? Maybe. But with all his obvious and egregious faults, why accuse him of being something he isn’t?
But behind the flurries lies a much bigger storm.
There, the howling winds of fake finance blow up so much dust that the typical person cannot see clearly.
If he is ready to believe that we can all get rich by borrowing money that never existed from people who never earned it… and never pay it back… he is ready to believe anything!
Today, the sun hides its face in shame and embarrassment.
Regards,

Signature

  2. I concur the darkness of retards being manufactured in the government mills.
    Weaponized Retarded Terrorists. Paid mercenaries to bring forth the globalist one world order.
    Cannon fodder.
    Usually soldiers who are used as “fodder” during an attack to use up enemy fire before launching an attack. Cannon Fodder is usually made up of useless units that are in-expensive. Also considered worthless.
    When/If the so-called elite do decide to go from fake war to blitzkrieg. I tell my people to wait two weeks.
    Till the garbage gets removed. Then give ’em hell.

  3. Every last monument, statue, plaque, needs to be protected full time. This is an attack, a full on attack by assorted globalists, jealous non-whites, brain dead lefties, hired actors, etc. on the great accomplishments of European peoples. It will not end unless a firm stand is maintained.

  5. Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one
    knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
    He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing
    when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn’t
    always fair, and maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound
    financial policies (don’t spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting
    (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly
    when well-intentioned, but overbearing, regulations were set in place.
    Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a
    classmate, teenagers suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch and
    a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his
    condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing
    the job they had themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
    It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to
    administer paracetamol, sun lotion or plaster to a pupil, but could not inform
    the parents when a pupil became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
    Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband,
    churches became businesses and criminals received better treatment than their
    victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a
    burglar in your own home, but the burglar could sue you for assault because you
    protected yourself and your own.
    Common Sense finally gave up the will to live after a woman failed to realize
    that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap and was
    promptly awarded a huge settlement.
    Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust, his wife,
    Discretion, his daughter, Responsibility and his son, Reason. He is survived by
    three stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I’m A
    Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized that he was gone.
    If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do
    nothing.

  6. In regard to this ‘darkness’ there is an interesting verse in the Book of Revelation that explains it (the Book of Revelation was addressed to the Christians living in the end times). Here’s the verse:
    “And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given to him a great sword.” (Revelation 6:4, King James Version).
