ARTICLE: The Great Experiment by Chad W. Garrett
Never let a crisis go to waste. This is the golden rule of our world’s ruling class. It has been the guiding principle for corrupt politicians and billionaire tech executives alike since the birth of opportunistic idealists. These idealists cater to the philosophy that ‘the ends justify the means.’ The ‘end’ being entrenched power; the means as ‘whatever is necessary.’
For 60 years a tidal wave has been building. It started with the ideas of Marx, Freud, and Nietzche and has been harnessed by a coalition of the nameless ruling class. The only thing harder than naming the powers pulling the proverbial strings is identifying the weapons they wield. One thing is for certain: whoever these people are, they are using a multitude of machinations to manipulate the lives of those they have power over. The desired outcome: force their subjects further into submission. At the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, the powers-that-be pulled the tidal wave to shore. We refer to this as ‘The Great Experiment.’
Spoiler warning: the Experiment worked. Friends became enemies, half the population is paralyzed by fear, and people are being villainized for exercising individual risk assessment. The fearless have their lives restricted by the whims of the fearful; whims backed by the government gun.
Meanwhile, the establishment media continually flex their power. With one hand, they feed fear. With the other, they encourage thousands to riot. Violence is now a virtue. They openly admitted to creating propaganda that swayed an election (which goes directly against the original meaning of journalistic integrity), actively fed the flames of unrest, and directly corrupted criminal trial proceedings.
So effective is the Shadow Class that the black community is now openly opting for segregation (i.e., all black dorms, lounges at business and universities for every color but white, black only time at parks and town squares, discounts for deliveries to black-owned businesses, etc.). If you remember, there was an entire movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. to end such things. They were racist and added to a significant rights disparity between people who should simply be equal under law.
“But what of Malcolm X and Stokley Carmichael?” you ask. Their ideals are part of the very weapon wielded by the elites. Malcolm X’s justifications for violence are used as a rallying cry for Marxist organizations like BLM. Carmichael’s ideals of ‘Systemic Racism,’ which, when boiled down to the roots, pursues equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity, fuel the narrative that our society is built on evil premises and must be destroyed. One cannot list all of the systems, organizations, laws, and history that this encompasses. Why? Because they are all on the chopping block. Only one criterion qualifies any part of our society for such treatment: will the destruction of <insert anything here> result in more entrenched power for the Shadow Class? If yes, it must be destroyed. Just as Carmichael wanted.
Put plainly, the oppressed further empower their oppressors in the hopes that the oppressor will liberate them from their oppression. But even that may be granting premises that are not wholly justified.
The key to liberation from this Shadow Class is self-ownership and following the simple formula for generalized success in life: finish high school, get a job, and don’t have kids before marriage. This formula will statistically guarantee you a position to push back against the invisible puppeteers. Those who are in power, or controlled directly by the powerful, have found success with this same formula. Yet, they will say to ignore their example. “It’s a fantasy. It doesn’t work.”
Maybe they’re right. Ifso, they are to blame. If a system is corrupted, it was they who did the corrupting.
Education is a prime example. The public school system is just as broken as the often ridiculed ‘higher education’ system. Even the word ‘education’ carries a different meaning in the post-pandemic world. Rather than math, literature, and science, our schools now teach children to hate themselves and their country through the adoption of the ‘1619 Project’ and ‘Critical Race Theory.’ Black kids are told that getting the correct answer is a manifestation of white supremacy. The Smithsonian Museums have labeled the use of the Scientific Method as a sign of ‘whiteness.’
You have one choice: conform to the system. Dissent, and you’re expelled from it, called a bigot, and paraded on national television. Worse than ‘bigot,’ they’ll label you with a word that harkens back to thousands of years of religious warfare and the most tragic event in modern American memory, 9/11. That title? Extremist.
When the Capitol building was raided on January 6, 2021, the media labeled every conservative with this title by employing the golden rule. Whether desperation, confusion, or true malice, my opinion is the same. Those that stormed the greatest symbol of freedom and law in the modern West should be thrown in the stockade for all to scorn. Those that promulgated violence should hang high in the public square for all to see. Even if they once stood for something good (which for many I highly doubt), they have proven the old adage, “You die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
These people are not indicative of the conservative movement. Nevertheless, the Shadow Class see the freedom-loving men and women of this country as a threat. Therefore, they label them with whatever they can to get half the country to view them with disgust. Thus the moniker: Extremist.
Divide and conquer.
It is all just words, though. Right? Nothing but hot air being blown by the establishment. Right? It’s for clicks. Right? This, too, shall pass. Right?
Wrong. This cultural movement is being pushed in nearly every facet of America, and when the military reflects a movement of the culture, it is probably here to stay. ‘Never let a crisis go to waste.
Skeptical? Recent military briefings were given on ‘stand down days’ across all branches with one explicit mission: address ‘extremism’ in the ranks. However, during the briefings I examined, every example provided was from ideologic ‘right’ while not a single example was given of a far-left or progressive group affiliation. Though some briefers reportedly attempted to list BLM and Antifa as groups uniformed members should look out for, none of the briefing notes mentioned either group by name, nor could affirm that it was the official position of the Department of Defense or their affiliates that these groups would be included. How could they when the sitting President had openly encouraged BLM and claimed that Antifa was merely an idea? Never mind that they have legitimate organizers and a handbook by which their members abide. The media have won this fight. In modern America, ‘extremism’ is a term exclusively reserved for the ideological ‘right.’
How long the military will be able to maintain this station is unknown. Morals and Values are designed to guide the leadership and actions of the troops, and ‘good order and discipline’ must have a standard to which the troops can abide. However, the present cultural movement says that evil is not evil; rather, virtues are evil. How so? To have virtues, or live by a moral code, means there must be an objective standard with which we live by. Not only does this principle require an objective standard (a topic for another day), but it also invites accountability. When an infringement of the moral code occurs, someone must take the blame. The most common victims are the cisgendered-white-religious-male or the police officer. Combine these, and you may as well be signing your death warrant. A statement I wish could be considered hyperbole.
We see this last bit illustrated with the recent conviction of Derek Chauvin, which proved that ‘innocent until proven guilty’ is no longer the standard for justice in America. Had the same evidence been presented under a different cultural or societal climate, there is reason to believe Mr. Chauvin would have been acquitted. If not from all charges, at least from both counts of murder. Why? Reasonable doubt. Evidence such as the massive levels of fentanyl in Floyd’s blood (three times the lethal dose), Chauvin’s knee being in a place that could not have restricted significant blood flow to the brain, and a lack of damage to Floyd’s trachea provide reasonable doubt that oppose murder charges of any degree. Nevertheless, a non-sequestered jury, with the Minneapolis mayor on the courthouse steps, the President of the United States making public statements, and the establishment media all but inciting their own set of summer riots, pushed their own narrative and overturned the Western legal standard of ‘innocent until proven guilty.’ Even worse, reports have surfaced that had Chauvin been acquitted, the federal government had officers waiting to arrest the man so he could face another trial at the federal level (Star Tribune, May 25).
The powers that be have flexed their muscles again.
An astounding plurality of our population did not even want a trial. They claimed the video taken of Chauvin on George Floyd was enough. No due process; conviction by mob rule. Ironically, the same people who were practically begging for Chauvin to be convicted would say that our justice system is corrupt and that any outcome other than a conviction would prove it. Half of this statement is correct. The trial did prove that our justice system is corrupt.
After the verdict was released, activists rushed to the internet to say, “It’s not justice... Justice would be George Floyd going home tonight…”(@AOC on April 20th, 2021, via Instagram Live). By this logic, we should rename the “American Justice System” the “American Accountability System.” The only way their ‘justice’ occurs is if you can bring someone back from the dead. Until that is achieved, every system must be destroyed, the mob will hold you accountable, and overlords will continue to control the mob.
This invisible elite can steer the mob, our societal trends, our politics, and most importantly, our culture. They have proven it with this ‘great experiment’ and will not forget their success. Now, it will only get worse. Your religion will be allowed so long as it is in the privacy of your home (and even then you may not be safe if the gathering is too large), your speech will be free so long as you do not speak out against your tyrannical ‘gods’ (for that is what the overlords aim to become), and your rights to property or self-protection will evaporate should you find yourself outside the Shadow Class. ‘For the prosperity of the collective, the individual must suffer,’ will be the new mantra. It will be as much theology as ideology, one that forgets that there is no collective without the individual.
So how do we stop the tidal wave while there is still something left to save? The answer is easier than you think, but it is one thing the conservative movement hates.
Sacrifice. We have to be willing to sacrifice.
Sacrifice what? Three main things. Your time, your comfort, and your dollars.
Time is one thing every person has complete control over. How you spend your time is up to you. By maximizing your time, you have the opportunity to educate yourself on everything I have highlighted above. As a matter of fact, most education in these areas is free and easy to access as others have invested their lives into this fight by writing and speaking about our culture and its impact on the body politic. If you don’t want to read, listen to podcasts and lectures on YouTube. Become educated on the wokecabulary because it is a weapon that will be used against you. Become educated on what companies stand for and support because their views will dictate what is acceptable and what is forbidden in society. Become educated on the real science and statistics of the virus that has locked down the country for over a year because the media wants to continually use your ignorance to paralyze you with fear.
Once educated, start talking. Have conversations with your neighbors and co-workers. Challenge the status quo, threaten the common narrative, and stand up to the fear tactics and propaganda. This will take courage. It asks that you get out of your comfort zone. It asks that you not only be aware but think critically on your feet. This part of the battle will be easier with people you are more comfortable with and will become harder when outside of your local friend group. Real courage will be needed when you are asked to stand in public, maybe alone, and look the immovable, angry, scary mob in the face and say, “I’m not backing down.”
Lastly, stop spending money on people and organizations that hate your values. Find alternative sources of news and subscribe to them. Find politicians that stand firm against the elites and donate to them. Find people that are writing better books and pay them. Find studios that are making better entertainment and pay them. And find educational institutions that share your beliefs and pay them. We already invest in these things whether we realize it or not. Rather than bury your head in the sand like a cowering ostrich, be aware of where your money is going and make it intentional.
Many people wanted to romantically call this decade a resurgence of the ‘Roaring 20s.’ Whether we live up to such a goal is up to us. This decade could mark a great American resurgence, a myth for the next generation to band around. It could also be the end of the American experiment as we know it, gone down in fire and smoke like so many businesses, lives, and livelihoods in the summer of 2020.
The Cultural Cold War has gone hot. Silence is not an option. If you want to remain ignorant like Mr. Magoo while the world burns around you, fine. Sit down and shut up like the coward you are. However, if you are a patriot who takes pride in your heritage and believes that every individual has a part to play in this chapter of the American Experiment, join me. The overlords have run their experiment. Now they're waiting for a response. I, for one, will not go gently into the night. I, and many others like me, will send them a response born of 6,000 years of Western tradition, forged into the immovable bulwark that is the spirit of this great country.
The overlords think they're safe on some high and lofty mountain, watching as the tidal wave crashes to shore. Let’s not storm the hill. Let’s steal the whole damn mountain from beneath their feet.
I’ll see you on the battlefield.
