Anarchy Is Swallowing Up the Social Order
American Thinker.com ^ | March 3, 2018 | E. Jeffrey Ludwig

Posted on 03/03/2018 4:49:32 AM PST by Kaslin

Government in the name of order, control, efficiency, organization, the greatest good for the greatest number, solidarity, social justice, and safety is instead ruling over a society that is increasingly disordered, crime-ridden, unjust, and disturbed to an extreme. A word that describes the direction of our acceleration through space and time is anarchy.

The momentum toward anarchy began with the move toward federal government expansion. During Woodrow Wilson's presidency, we began to see the implementation of what is now called the administrative state. This was helped along by our participation in WWI, which created the need for more governmental controls. This was followed by the massive Keynesian demand-side economics implemented by Franklin D. Roosevelt, the New Deal, and WWII.

Regulation grows by supposedly "meeting a need," but meeting a need leads from that point into greater regimentation. Greater regimentation means a suppression of individual freedom. This suppression produces a reaction that is anarchy. Therefore, we must be careful whenever we expand government with the premise that we are "meeting a need."

For example, more students are getting a college education, but the burdens are also increasing as ever greater numbers depend on student loans to get a college education (students often work, but working one's way through college has become less and less feasible). This in turn has given rise to a demand for free higher education. That demand is growing, as we see from Bernie Sanders's successes in the last election cycle, and Andrew Cuomo was able to push through a free tuition plan for public colleges in New York State. This free tuition is anything but a support for freedom, for indeed, it requires that students take a certain minimum number of credits and that they be full-time.

What about old family guns handed down to children/grandchildren from say WWII etc?

What guns passed down thorough the family?

I don't know anything about guns passed down through the family.

If there's no record of them, they don't exist.

Interesting times we live in. Consider this:

1. President Trump is at war with the Deep State (rogue elements of the FBI, DOJ, DOS, CIA, and most of the media)

2. President Trump ratcheted up the battle with his December 21, 2017 Executive Order Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption. This order allows the Attorney General and Secretary of the Treasury to seize property and assets of those involved in corruption, human trafficking, and are subverting national security, society, government, and our economy:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-blocking-property-persons-involved-serious-human-rights-abuse-corruption/

3. Immediately following this Executive Order, the long time CEO of Google Eric Schmidt suddenly and mysteriously resigns. The CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, also resigns weeks later. Dozens of other CEOs, CFOs, and high ranking members of business and tech companies resign as well.


4. In the last 3 weeks, Twitter, YouTube (owned by Google), and Facebook have undertaken a massive purge of Conservatives and Christians, deleting their Facebook accounts, YouTube channels, and Twitter accounts.

5. Simultaneously to the above, the media, Democrats, Hollywood, and selected industries have launched the largest anti-Second Amendment propaganda campaign in recent history.

Call me crazy, but one could possibly come to the conclusion that the Deep State does not want us to have access to real information, wants to ban our dissemination of the truth, and wants us disarmed.

What’s interesting is that people who normally don’t consider themselves conspiracy theorists or buy into them, as as suspicious of what happened in FL as I am.

I think it was allowed to happen for that express purpose.

Not by everyone in the agencies, but from someone. And when your superiors tell you to stand down, you do it or are let go for insubordination and you are out altogether.

At what point do you bide your time and keep a job that can provide a valuable service when the opportunity presents itself.

I’m SURE there were plenty of men and women who opposed not taking action against this kid. But orders are orders.

Outstanding analysis.

Now we need an outstanding plan. I would prefer not to just sit and wait for President Trump to “fix it”.

Any ideas?

SkyPilot, this is definitely not a complaint about not having a plan in the post. Your post is step 1. Before you can fix a problem, you have to identify it. We conservatives have known for a long time what the problem is in general, but you have fleshed it out with more specifics.

I think we need to pick a goal and focus our energy on it. I really think we could have an effect.

Perhaps we should pick one target and focus our research on uncovering that person’s evil. IMO, the goal is not to lock up Hillary, it’s to lock up ALL of those who are evil and rid the entire government, Hollywood, the tech industry, the media, the entire culture of evil and corruption. But we need to start somewhere, maybe with something smallish. Maybe we could start with some media personality?

Or maybe there is some other better place to focus.

What say you, FReepers?

Humans have a lifespan.

Let’s say it’s about 80 years.

How do you deal with this?

Christians believe that these 80 years are only a stage for a soul that lasts indefinitely.

Liberals think and fear that 80 years is all they get.

Look at Bernie Sanders and the Clintons and Obama.

They have a formative stage where they learn how to be human.

Then, they have a stage of questioning.

This leads to a stage of becoming a communist.

Eventually, they realize that communism is baloney.

This leads to the anger stage.

This is followed by the “I’ll get mine then!” stage.

Soros and the Clintons learned in Bosnia that there was big money to be made in chaos.

They are in that final stage of Liberals. They have a pent up history of jealousy and disbelief and hatred.

They don’t care who they harm because they are going to be wormfood soon.

A quibble, if I may be forgiven one. It looks like anarchy, but it isn’t, it’s a carefully and deliberately imposed social disorder, and it’s only a step toward the imposition of a new tyrannical order. Anarchy is no government, and no government isn’t what the radicals have in mind at all. New government, yes. Theirs.
