The Blob Attacks

 

The powers that be are going to alarming lengths. The latest is the disqualification of Marine LePen from the next French presidential election, and the arraignment of Russell Brand on rape accusations over 20 years old.

And we saw the attempt to use the legal system to take out Trump and his associates; not to mention the assassination attempts. We saw the Canadian government blatantly freezing the bank accounts of dissidents.

And almost at the surface now is the realization that there is a system which deliberately compromises prominent people, so that they can be controlled by the group—a group that stays in the shadows. So long as the target toes the line, they are allowed to get away with anything. They can have their fun. Show independence, and charges surface.

Remaining innocent is no sure protection either; the blob can fabricate something. It is especially easy, in the modern climate, to get some woman to testify that you raped or molested her. Or standard business practices can be declared criminal. The general public will not know any better; it’s too complicated. 

Nobody is safe.

It seems to me that by now, the blob must be going too far. It is too obvious. The thing is about to crack and collapse. They are acting desperate.

But, alarmingly, they are prepared to take down all the elements of a stable civil society with them. They have undermined public trust in the press. They have undermined public trust in the police. They have undermined public trust in the banking system. They have trashed our shared history. They have undermined public trust in the justice system. They have undermined public trust in academia. They have undermined public trust in science. They have undermined public trust in the voting system. They have weaponized everything.

It's a hard rain that’s going to fall.
