A reply to Olivia Pierson on the US Election

I wrote this as a reply in support of  Olivia Pierson's  article posted on Solopassion on 2 November:

 Is it not an odd thing that our own oil/gas industry was squashed. To be self sufficient in gas/oil is a strategic necessity. The US was meeting emission levels that were below what the Paris Accord stipulated and was a net exporter of oi.

The election is also about:

1. the coastal elites v the interior, the hollowing out and impoverishment of the interior has been simply immoral, added to which is the disdain-hatred- of the interior as Deplorables;

2. Those who work with their brains and iPads v those who make things and work with their hands;

3. Those who have had their minds shaped by neo Marxism critical theory and pursue constructed (Neo Platonic idealism) theories v those who think inductively based on evidence- the division which boils down to Socialism/Communism v old fashioned Liberalism and Conservative values- the value of telling the truth of family, of history and past human experience and distilled though based on that experience;

4. Collectivism v individualism- social justice v actual justice, the rule of law and due process. The Constitution- Justice Felix Frankfurter said that without 'fairness' and due process one does not have democracy. The Progressives plan to dismantle the Constitution looks like a giant step to take over the government and its branches and impose Identity Socialism. The Marxist critical theorist always expose power as bad but what they propose is a grab for power at the expense of civil rights and liberties, right down to how many people one can have in your home!

I was laughed at and scoffed- then marginalized - for saying earlier in the year by a Wellington liberal- beltway- Trump- is -vile -"'splaining-elite" that the US republic was on a precipice but it now seems more apparent.

National Pulse today carries a story that Micahel Bloomberg is funding a "Don't accept the election result campaign and the Transition Integrity Project has been advocating taking it to the streets and another group is actively seeking "action" in DC tomorrow. Shops etc are being boarded up.

Sir Robert Jones has opined that Biden is innocuous. If you only read NZ MSM you can be forgiven for that opinion. The failure by MSM and Big Tech has never been more apparent. The attitude after arrogance and ignorance, is that you don't need to know, you don't need a free press and free speech (thus freedom of conscience) and privacy because we have the TRUTH. It cannot happen here you say? When the firearm issue was alive in 2019, our PM said we need to change people's behaviours-that means one's opinions and how one thinks.

Trump is blamed for divisiveness, hate and tyranny but it seems to have emanated from the bitter losers of the 2016 election: the state oligarchy, the Democrats and the Alliance of Bias: the media and Big Tech.

Timely article by Olivia.
