Extravagant Doomerism For 2024

 



For an extravagantly doomerist set of predictions for the coming year look no further than 2024: Good-Times, Weak-Men, & The 'Secret Sauce' Of Globalist Wickedness, via Zerohedge. Here's the captivating intro:


“I’ve also lost patience with the Sharia of the political left taking over the entire system.”

- David Collum

Historians of the future, flash-frying peccary testicles and mesquite pods over their campfires, will wonder at how the archetypal Shining City on a Hill of America’s storied yesteryear got transformed into the roach motel that our country has become on the threshold of 2024 CE. Will they be as stupidly bewildered as, in our time, the faculty at Harvard, the editors of The New York Times, or the directorate of the CDC? Or will they figure out the score by then?

Which is: the nauseating state-of-the-nation is being driven by a cohort of our own fellow citizens lost in an evil crypto-religious salvation rapture that veils their own self-disgust, moral failure, peevish discontents, petty hatreds, willful profanations, compulsive lying, sexual depravity, fraudulence, venality, cupidity, and all-around want of boundaries. They are wrecking the country on-purpose, led by their chosen figurehead avatar, “Joe Biden,” and the horses of many different colors he rode in on.

The people running things, yanking the levers of power, managing the malign weapon they have made of government (and the law, and schooling, and medicine, etc.), have got to be turned out, and hard. Not a few should find themselves in the courts and, with proper and fair adjudication, be conducted to prison, perhaps even to the special room there where the lives of the wicked are ceremonially concluded.

You may legitimately ask: Does America deserve what it’s getting? Well, you know the old maxim about hard times make strong men. . . strong men bring good times. . . good times make weak men. . . . Our national quandary is certainly a case of that, plus the manifestation of well-known terrestrial cycles (e.g., Fourth Turnings), plus the workings of emergence as the dynamics involved in all this sort themselves out. . . topped off by the “secret sauce” of Globalist wickedness, with the aim of severe population reduction and the asset stripping of Western Civ for the benefit of the that moneygrubbing Globalist transhuman technocrat rat-pack.

My natural inclination, you know, is a kind of allergy to paranoid schemes, but one does survey the scene with wonder at how superbly coordinated the fuckery has been — much of the world locking down simultaneously for the Covid-19 op. . .  the global mass vaxx campaign. . . the fiscal lunacy and accompanying central bank shenanigans. . . the broad-based censorship operations. . . the capture of the news media. . . and the war-mongering.

So, the country is in the toilet and it is our job in 2024 to make sure it doesn’t get flushed all the way down the pipe. That’s all the throat-clearing you will hear before we get to the meat of this broadside: predictions for the year ahead.

 

You can and should read the excellence of the whole thing. For what it's worth, I mostly agree with Mr. Kunstler even though he doesn't deploy the estimable words "malfeasant," "skulduggery," "mendacious," and "satrap."  

Regardless, see what you think and while you're busy reading I'll be reheating medium rare perfection roast beef. This miracle is achieved by wrapping the jolly old beef in tinfoil, preheating your oven to 250 and then turning it off. Place your Faraday Caged beef in the oven for around 20 minutes, then take it out and eat it.

More on this culinary adventure as it unfolds,

Kuntsler is an asshole and NOBODY should read his shit. He, by his own omission, voted for that back bastard twice. He is part of the problem, why do people read his shit?

LSP said...

Oh, I didn't know, Anon! Just came across it on Zero.

That aside, what do you reckon on his '24 predictions?

Well Seasoned Fool said...

Too old and cynical here. My prediction 2024 will be another shit storm undoubtedly caused by globalwarmingcooling with a side of pandemic.

LSP said...

Right with you, WSF, and let's add a side order of war.

Well, peccary testicles might be tasty if cooked over mesquite coals, but I doubt that future historians (if they’re anything like current stuffed shirt historians) will be able to gather even a single pod, much less a double....so empty bellies will rumble and we’re back to hieroglyphs to record history....who says it doesn’t repeat?

Right on, Tex, with you.

Crusty Old TV Tech here. "...preheating your oven to 250 and then turning it off..." That's jolly right, 250 degrees Fahrenheit, not Gas 3, or some number of French degree-ettes Centigrade. 250 Deg F! As the good Lord intended ovens to be regulated!

I thought it was an interesting read to "put in the hopper." It is difficult to know what type of black swan will reveal in 2024, but it seems everyone believes one(s) coming. Appreciated the 2001 A Space Odyssey reference; although, I'd say the story was more of a "seminal 'semi'-fable." The creation is only as morale and intelligent as the creator - and what the creation is fed. I happen to have recently again watched the movie again (after having seen it last as a young adult). It seemed quaint, yet the shadows of the story's predictions seem more solid today. The role of HAL should be considered again, "what it knew and when it knew it." A mankind's cover-story at the dawn of an AI ET discovery, seems to have produced the offspring HAL. I think something like that is what we have coming in 2024 - with a mix of what is true and what is fabricated.

And I agree, the estimable words (including mountebank) were missing.

P.S. Let's recall the contempt we soon showed toward our Creator. The AI apple won't be falling far.

LSP said...

YES, TV Tech.

Works too, fortunately.

LSP said...

Haven't watched that in a few years, GenX, what a great movie.

HAL in mind, I'm not especially worried by AI, though it'll doubtless be used for yet moar serf control. Grid going down? Another matter again.

LSP said...

And most definitely Yes to the PS.

GenX Crit said...

Apologies. After rebooting the human CPU, -again- it -seems- another comment is being added. (I failed to prof-read.)

Those without the LORD are AI. But you understand.

Humbled to leave comments, thank you.

LSP said...

No prob, GenX! I too must hire more and better copy editors.
