Happy Birthday Tom Sowell. Venezuela Looking Better Than America?




Thomas Sowell turns 90. A brilliant mind, a great teacher, a true American:Walter Williams: An Underappreciated American Scholar

And:

Biden's crowd? ttps://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/06/judicial_watch_uncovers_emails_showing_ben_rhodes_and_aides_joking_about_benghazi_lies_.html

Finally:

From a very dear long time friend and very sound investor and fellow memo reader: "All of your writings have been very insightful.  Thanks, T----"

This was sent to me by a very dear friend and fellow memo reader and I told him he was insulting Venezuela:


The United States is Starting to Look a Lot Like Venezuela
Is this what you want America to be?
The Wu Flu lockdowns and the rampant rioting are all part of the same master plan. You don’t need to believe in conspiracy theories, because it’s not a well-organized, top-down revolution. Instead, every idiot indoctrinated by Marxist principles thinks that they’ve come to the same genius conclusion. America is vulnerable, and now is the time to push for social revolution. It’s why lockdowns have been extended far past any justifiable usefulness. It’s why cities are on fire. And, it’s exactly the same way every communist revolution in history took place. Just look at the most recent example of Venezuela. The United States looks a lot more like a Maduro-era Venezuela than any of us would care to admit.

Marxism and communism utilize a three-pronged attack to get rid of freedom. The first prong is the culture war. We’ve been seeing this in the U.S. for decades; cancel culture is just the latest iteration. In Venezuela, the culture war helped elect Chavez because he promised to care about the poor and give them things. Does that sound familiar?
As soon as Chavez was elected in Venezuela, the revisionist history began. Statues were torn down left and right because the historical figures didn’t mesh well with the new culture. For anyone trying to keep score, you now know what stage of socialist revolution we’re (America) is in.
When the culture war makes enough progress, there’s enough political backing to go into a planned economy. This is where the state rapidly boosts its own authority and power. In Venezuela, most industries were nationalized. The biggest industry there is oil, and it was one of the first to be nationalized. In the United States, the largest industry is health care. It’s not hard to connect these dots.
In fact, the U.S. just used a health scare to enter into a planned economy. Remember when governors shut down most forms of commerce for “two weeks to slow the spread?” The U.S. economy is still largely shut down on gubernatorial order.
We’re literally in a planned economy. That’s what creates the social unrest necessary for the final part.
When everyone is too overwhelmed by poverty to think straight, the purges start. Political opponents are arrested. Brown Shirt style gangs oppress anyone who dares disagree with the new culture. You get top-down totalitarianism.  
The brilliance of the communist attack is that most of the brutality doesn’t come from the police or the military (at least at first). It comes from the fanatics who just watch their culture war bring ruin to their own home. Rather than learn and adapt from their failures, they double down. History is full of examples. Cities are burned, starvation gets worse and society collapses. It’s always the same story.
So, now that you have some strong comparisons between the United States and Venezuela, let’s test your knowledge. Which of these stages have already been completed in the U.S.?  Which have yet to be initiated?How close do you think America is to complete and total ruin?
Keep in mind all of this
has been initiated by the Democratic Party!

And

This also was sent to me bya dear friend and fellow memo reader.


It is impossible to get a clear view of what’s ahead.  But, George Orwell gave a
fictional eyeful in his landmark novel, “1984”.  I, along with many of you, saw at first
hand the national chaos of 1968…a preview of coming attractions.

For the past four months, we have been presented with an indelible image of our
future if the leftists win control of the White House and subsequently the Supreme
Court.  Joe Biden is insignificant.  If he were to become president, he would simply
be a live puppet in the hands of Socialist/ Marxist masters who would rapidly
ruin our Nation as we know it, or should I say, knew it.

The so-called Democrat controlled major cities in our country have become battlegrounds
for the advancement of anarchy and Socialism. The mayors of these cities and the governors of the states in which they are located have done little to bring the insurgency under control. In some cases they have egged on the sponsors of chaos. Was it fear, or a pent up hatred of order, was it philosophical agreement, or was it cowardice that
moved these “leaders” to do nothing? 

Now, back to the Biden White House.  Vice President Harris will be in charge. Elizabeth Warren will be the Economic Advisor to the President, and Alexandria Ortega-Cortez will be the Secretary of Energy. And, the new president’s first appointee to the Supreme Court of the United States will be Barack Obama.

Does this possibility frighten you, or make you a little unnerved?  It should, because the scenario above is very, very possible.

I’m a strong supporter of our president, but I, like you, see his faults. However, there is no Plan B!  The alternative is too terrible to contemplate.

In terms of those faults, I’m sending the President a few constructive thoughts.
