The Democrats Totally Want A Depression
Townhall ^ | 23 April 20 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 04/23/2020 3:36:27 AM PDT by Bruiser 10

If the Malevolent Donkey Party was actively seeking to plunge the country into an economic tailspin, while still maintaining some level of deniability to the credulous suckers out there, exactly what would it be doing differently? It would be pretty much doing exactly what it is doing right now – shilling for the bat-gobbling ChiComs, delaying needed assistance to keep America working, and generally trying to keep us all locked in the dark in perpetuity.

It’s fair to assume that you intend the expected consequences of the actions you take, and the consequence of the actions the Democrats are taking is economic ruin. The indisputable fact is that they’re totally cool with that if that is what gets them back into power.

Democrats are never ones to let a good crisis go to waste, and this Wuhan Flu is a very good crisis indeed if your goal is leftist hegemony. The Trump economy was booming after the near-decade of the Obama doldrums, and people were getting a taste of prosperity. But a happy, prosperous America is something the Democrat dudes can’t abide. All the Democrats had to sell were recycled cries of “RACISM!” and “RUSSIA!” and their standard-bearer was that sinewy weirdo Grandpa Badfinger, who was promising to drag us all back into the nightmare of globalist failure. The future looked grim, which means it actually looked bright for the rest of us.

Not everybody went broke during the last Great Depression. Some made fortunes buying up distressed properties.

The globalist elites are playing the long game - they are salivating at their chance to seize the means of production.

Of course they want a depression. The great depression gave them the white house for 20 years.

-- A depression will also result in far fewer pollutants being released into the air and could hinder global warming, which is, far and away, the greatest existential threat facing Mother Earth. --

Half true anyway. Even assuming antropogenic global warming is a hoax (it is), cleaner air is more healthy than breathing hydrocarbon-related pollutants.

The unstated assumption that general economic well-being and health go hand in hand is just flat false. Standing in soup and bread lines is HEALTHY.

“While we ran the place it was Paradise. (For us, anyway.)”

Quite an interesting experience. My notes on a few items that seems to have made that “paradise”.

Was it primarily the Dept of Defense in charge not the entire US federal government working “together”? (If the feds had such talent, the US Post office would have put FedX and UPS out of business, as one example most people experience.)

That country you experienced had the benefit of US $, goods, services, and materials flowing into it. In other words, there was a wealth creating machine, industrial engine somewhere else making it all possible. For us today, other than printing fiat money which will have long term consequences, federals have led the charge to shut down our economy - there is no external “benefactor”.

That country probably didn’t have 300 million people, of which ~30% are leftists.

Finally, I would guess the average citizen back then was going from a bad situation to a better one. In our case, we seem to be going in the opposite direction.

Noriega handed out 10,000 AK 47s to the occupants of the Ghetto and told them on the radio, “Those people have stuff (the middle class), this is YOUR country, too.” I met those “middle class” people and they heard the mob coming blocks away as thy fired their new toys in the air.

To accomplish our mission our military killed about 600 soldiers, we allowed the rest to shed their uniforms and slink back to their homes. Yet there were 6,000 bodies in the streets when the shooting finally stopped. So who killed them? Those middle class people were ARMED and they lit the mob up. Panamanians killed those 6,000.

IOW everybody who “hated Americans” was dead by the time we really finished all the missions required in the first three days. Literally. Dead and rotting in the streets. Which is why all the “survivors” LOVED us.

Obviously Noriega did that to his own people to sow the chaos he needed to hide for 4 days.

From the article:

Actions speak louder than words, and the Democrats’ actions shriek, “Your family’s security being destroyed is a small price to pay for us regaining power.”

That pretty much sums it up for them.

They absolutely want a depression, feeling it will give them the White House, the House, and the Senate. There's also a second item on their "wish list": They want to avoid a traditional election in November, with people voting in person at a polling place, via secret ballot. That's why there will be so much hype in the media about the Corona Virus returning with a vengeance in the fall. The talking point will be "we can't risk the lives of Americans by having them gather at polling places, therefore, the election must be conducted by mail-in ballot." This, of course, will set the stage for massive voter fraud. It's the only chance the Democrats have in November.

The logistics supply for our troops continued as it was before. In fact the logistics burden during the war was a fraction what it had been 6 months previously because they sent all dependents home months before the war. Noriega was just stupid when he banged his machete on the podium. He had been taking a little TOO much of his friend’s (Pablo Escobar) product.

So true.. can anyone think ahead of what will happen if we don’t get completely back on our feet economy wise and Biden gets in? To me that’s unthinkable.

A depression? It’s obvious they want mass starvation. Take a good look at the “green new deal”.
