How Seventy Years Of Progress Came To An End

Post by Riddick » 03-14-2022 11:17 PM

Edited & Excerpted from Jeffrey A. Tucker's article:

Here we are today: the U.S. & Russia are in a de facto but undeclared war. No one calls it that, but that’s what it amounts to. The dangers right now are intense, on all fronts. It’s not clear decision makers even understand what they are doing.

Or maybe they do. Since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. military-industrial complex has been searching for a reliable enemy the U.S. population could hate, as a way to distract from misdeeds of the political elite at home.

After decades of cycling through them, it appears that the old enemy was the best enemy. And with a small turn of a dial, vast swaths of high-end opinion are exclusively focused on the terrible plight of Ukraine.

In turn, our information flows are being severely restricted. Russia Today America, with its expansive offices in D.C. and mostly-American staff, has been shut down completely. By whom, and the exact circumstances, is still not clear.

A FOIA request also just revealed all the major media outlets in the United States received massive funding from the Biden administration to promote government virus propaganda. So there’s that.

The libertarian ethos informing these companies' founding and building has flipped to the point censorship has become brazen, ruthless, relentless. What government cannot get away with due to judicial checks has been effectively left to ostensibly private companies taking their marching orders from the powers that be.

Meanwhile, gas prices are at a 40-year high. Inflation is now arguably higher than in a century. Biden blames it all on Putin, even though his administration has worked since taking office to curb U.S. fossil fuel production. Today, the same administration blames the U.S. oil industry for not producing enough!

It appears that the prosperity and relatively low inflation plus economic growth—never as great as it could have been but not entirely shabby—of the last 40 years has come to an end.

Even more than that, we can go back 70 years and observe the ethos of policy reform has taken a dramatic shift in a different direction. It seems more obvious in retrospect to what happened here, even if not entirely visible until now.

What madness! 70 years of progress has been fully reversed. We truly did not know how good we had it. The world we are entering now is unlike anything we’ve previously experienced. It can get much worse. The dangers are hugely present all around us today. We don’t really know how the public is going to respond.

While a chance to dig our way out of this pit of hell seems less likely each passing day, history does not have a single trajectory. As quickly as the descent occurred, there remains a chance popular opinion could force a reversal, a renewal of human rights, an appreciation for international cooperation and diplomacy, new limits on government, and the application of reason instead of frenzy and propaganda.

We must hope, pray, and work to make it so.
