If You Really Wanted to Destroy the United States, Then . . .
It would be hard to imagine any planned agenda to destroy America that would have been as injurious as what we already suffered the last two years.
Story continues below advertisementBy Victor Davis Hanson. November 30, 2022
First, you would surrender our prior energy independence.
Reduce new gas and oil leases on federal lands to the lowest levels of any president in history. Cut back production at precisely the time the world is emerging from a two-year lockdown with pent-up consumer demand.
Make war on coal and nuclear power. Drain the strategic petroleum reserve to make the pain for consumers more bearable for midterm election advantage.
Cancel the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge oil and gas field. Block pipelines like the Keystone oil pipeline and the Constitution natural gas line.
Overregulate and demonize frackers and horizontal drillers. Ensure there is less investment for their exploration and production.
Make use of internal combustion engines or fossil fuel power generation prohibitively expensive. Achieve a green oil-dependency along the lines of contemporary Europe.
Second, print trillions of dollars in new currency as the lockdowns end, demand rises, and consumers are already saturated with COVID-19 subsidies. Keep interest rates low, well below the rate of inflation, as you print more money. Ensure that passbook holders earn no interest at the very time prices skyrocket to the highest per annum level in 40 years.
“Spread the wealth” by sending money to those who already have enough, while making it less valuable for those deemed to have too much. Ensure runaway high prices to wean the middle class off its consumerism and supposedly to inspire them to buy less junk they don’t need. Damn the rich in the open and in the abstract, court them in the concrete and secret of darkness.
Third, end America’s physical boundaries. Render it an amorphous people and anywhere space. End any vestigial difference between a citizen and resident. Up the current nearly 50 million who were not born in the United States —27 percent of California’s population—to 100 million and more by allowing 3 million illegal aliens to enter per year.
Fourth, destroy the public trust in its elections. Render Election Day irrelevant. Make proper auditing of 110 million mail-in/early ballots impossible. Normalize ballot harvesting and curing.
Urge leftist billionaires to infuse their riches to “absorb” the work of state registrars in key precincts to ensure the correct “turn-out.”
Blast as “election denialists,” “insurrectionists,” and “democracy destroyers” anyone who objects to these radical ballot changes, neither passed by the U.S. Congress nor by state legislators. Weaponize the FBI, CIA, and Department of Justice.
Report AdFifth, redefine crime as one rich man’s crime, another poor man’s necessity.
Let those who need “things” exercise their entitlement to them. Rewrite or ignore laws to exempt the oppressed who take, or do, what they want as atonement for past systemic racism and oppression.
Six, junk the ossified idea of a melting pot and multiracial society united by common American values and ideals. Instead, identify individuals by their superficial appearance. Seek to be a victim and monetize your claims against perceived victimizers. Call anyone a “racist” who resists.
Encourage each tribe, defined by common race, ethnic, gender, or sexual orientation affinities, to band together to oppose the monolithic “white privilege” majority. Encourage social and tribal tensions. Racially discriminate to end discrimination.
Greenlight statue toppling, name changing, boycotting, cancel culturing, ostracizing, and Trotskyizing. Erase the past, control the present, and create a new American person for the future.
Seven, render the United States just one of many nations abroad. Abandon Afghanistan in shame. Leave behind thousands of loyal Afghan allies, billions of dollars in equipment, a billion-dollar embassy, and the largest air base in central Asia. Appease the theocracy to reenter the Iran nuclear deal.
Beg enemies like Venezuela, Russia, and Iran to pump more oil when it is politically expedient for us to have abundant supplies—oil that we have in abundance but won’t produce. Discourage friends like Guinea from producing more energy and cancel allies’ energy projects like the EastMed pipeline.
Trash but then beg Saudi Arabia to pump more oil right before the midterms for domestic political advantage.
Eight, neuter the First Amendment. Enlist Silicon Valley monopolies to silence unwanted free speech while using Big Tech’s mega profits to warp elections. Declare free expression “hate speech.” Criminalize contrarian social media.
Nine, demonize half the country as semi-fascists, un-Americans, insurrectionists, and even potential domestic terrorists. Try to change inconvenient ancient rules: seek to pack the court, end the filibuster, junk the Electoral College, and bring in two more states.
Twice impeach a president who tried to stand in your way. Try him when he is an emeritus president and private citizen. Raid his home. Seek to indict a future rival to the current president.
Ten, never mention the origins of the COVID virus. Never blame China for the release of SARS-CoV-2 virus. Exempt investigations of U.S. health officials who subsidized Chinese gain-of-function research. Ignore the Bill of Rights to mandate vaccinations, mask wearing, and quarantines.
We have done all of the above. It would be hard to imagine any planned agenda to destroy America that would have been as injurious as what we already suffered the last two years.

The question that is left to answer is, “But why?”, why destroy freedom, liberty, success, happiness, and capitalism? Here’s the ULTIMATE why,

The Usurper Obama was NEVER President, LAWFULLY.
He was adopted, at the age of six, by Lolo Soetoro, making an Indonesian citizen and a muslin, by birth.
Apparently, most people do not understand the LEGAL consequences of adoption.

About Item number one on the above list on the insidious sinister scheme to destroy the United States which is “First, you would surrender our prior energy independence.
Reduce new gas and oil leases on federal lands to the lowest levels of any president in history. Cut back production at precisely the time the world is emerging from a two-year lockdown with pent-up consumer demand….”
That is wreck the economy of the United States with is socialist economics keep attempting to push on the United States. Likewise, always striving against the American free enterprise system in many ways. As seen in his shutting down the much needs oil pipeline and at the same time causing many American workers to lose their much-needed jobs and likewise creating a drastic rise in the price of gas.
This is horrible making the US dependent on foreign oil, likewise, rising costs. This is nothing less than a horrendous economic catastrophe.

That first point of those wicked schemers in power in America of which Joe Biden is the figurehead of that first number one item is “surrender our prior energy independence” Related to is that Biden had the gall to say in a speech about his Republican opponents as “being against everything” he should first look into the mirror.
Biden is against American being oil independent
Biden must be against low gas prices.
Biden must be against low food prices
. Biden is against the American free enterprise system.
Biden must be against the American worker because of his socialist economic policies
Biden is the negative one.

Regarding point number one which is “surrender our prior energy independence.” Many truckers have gone out of business because of the high cost of fuel, “thanks” to Joe Biden. Further harming them and the entire US economy.

Note that the high cost of fuel has nothing to do with our perpetual resupply of oil, and everything to do with big oil refusing to build more refineries.

The cost of building a new refinery would be in excess of $1 billion. That’s a huge investment. Now think what we’re told, no to new oil, an end to ICE vehicles, renewables, buy electric vehicles. Who, in their right mind, would consider making an investment of that magnitude knowing it is government intent to close it down? No wonder big oil is refusing to build more refineries.

There’s not much of a point to investing so heavily to develop a resource that will literally kill us if we try to use it all.

I would say there is no point in investing in new refineries as it is intended that they be closed but would it kill us? No new refinery has been built since the 70’s and current refineries are aging, so what happens if they become so old they have to close down? There are no new refineries being built to replace them. Now, do you think people will die because there is no fuel or live because there is? We need fuel and without it, I think it will kill us.

Everything said is valid except for the comment on fracking. It has already been identified that fracking is killing every deep aquifer it effects. It will take 200 years, once fracking is stopped for new aquifers the route. Our only hope, is to follow Josephs model from Egypt with the Karetz system to hold us over until the aquifers heal themselves. Half the problemwith fracking is the injection of industrial chemical waste sludge as a fracking liquid.

Not arguing with your comment. However, do you have information dealing with the “injection of industrial chemical waste sludge”? I was under the impression they used H2O as the injectorate.

Water is used in the fracking process and also in the extraction of oil. After its use, the water is diffused with oil which is sent to Salt Water Disposal wells where the oil is removed and the water pumped back into newly dug wells below the water aquifer and below where the oil was extracted. There is no way this used water in any way affects the environment. I own several of these SWD wells and know this to be a fact.

Excellent analysis, as always, by VDH. I came with some additional suggestions; some already in place, some being discussed:
Adopt, totally, the precepts of the Great Reset and the Green New Deal.
Implement the steps necessary to reduce the earth’s population as specified by Malthusians. Initially, rely on mandatory vaccination as the method to achieve this.
Replace the concepts of “freedom” and “opportunity” with the concept of “equity”.
Analyze the social media scores of individuals and penalize all persons who do not clearly support the current administration. Initially with fines or restrictions on behavior. Later with arrest or, in the most serious cases, execution.
Ban all criticisms of Islam and support the creation of “no contact” areas for Muslims under Sharia law.
Adopt a centralized digital currency as the first step to implement a comprehensive surveillance system. Reward/punish people by their scores as determined by the system.
Severely limit the ability of people to travel by mandating the use of a vaccine passport to travel by air out of the country.
Limit the number of miles that people can drive with their vehicles.
Implement sub-skin tracking devices for all people.

As for the way to destroy the United States number three which is “End America’s physical boundaries”
That “No secure border policy” of Joe Biden and his leftist’s political comrades are totally disaster for many reasons.
It was discovered that twenty – three Muslim terrorists just captured crossing the Mexican/US border that really be a wakeup call. Before that a jihadist who was captured who had originally come from Saudi Arabia, earlier yet, two Iranian jihad operatives had also been captured.
First, there are also those jihadists of ISIS al Qaeda and other similar jihadist terrorists may now more easily infiltrate into America and there is drastic rise in drug cartel trafficking .
Second, in opens the door in an “invitation for malicious violent criminal gangs enter America through the US/ Mexican “border.” As the murderers rapists and drug dealing heinous gangster who a call themselves MS- 13. Likewise, now heinous rise in the drug cartel trade because of porous borders.
Third, because the criminals now entering America because of Biden’s porous border policy there is also a terrible increase of murderous violence and vast destruction in America cities.
Forth, there is the drastic and deadly increase and of the coronaviruses by migrants South of the US/ Mexican “border.” So much evil is now infesting the USA, “thanks” to Joe Biden.
The coronavirus will rise and so will the death rate have a drastic increase in the USA because of the COVID -19 positive migrants who have entered America though the open door policy of Joe Biden .
In conclusion, Biden will have the blood of many good, decent American citizens across the United States on his wicked vile hands.

As for number nine which is “demonize half the country as semi-fascists, un-Americans, insurrectionists, and even potential domestic terrorists.”
Joe Biden does serve as an example of the “Big Brother “ type villain with his betrayal of America and the American people. So much so, let us not be naive about him, that if possible he would inflect upon America and Americans a socialist /Marxist tyranny if he could.
As the type of tyrannical government as in, the classic novel 1984 by George Orwell that was later made into a movie. In which, is headed by “Big Brother”, who issued a new speak dictionary with taught “Peace is war” and “Love is hate” and “Truth is error” and “ Freedom is slavery.” So much so that when the State headed by Big Brother declared that if it say “2+2 = 5 then it is 5.”
As seen by Biden calling and slanderously labeling concerned conservative America patriots “ domestic terrorists.”
To add to this folly the Patriot pro – Trump rally in Washing DC is now called an “insurrection.”
As the news commentator on Fox news, rightly, said, “That was not an Insurrection”
For the American Pro-Trump American patriot protesters were unarmed and didn’t attempt to overthrow the United States government. In fact the people who died that day were two pro- Trump American patriots and another patriot were almost beaten to death by the thugs in uniform who are the leftist politically correct appointed Capital “police.”
Still, Big Brother Biden, with his “ new speak “ calls the patriots “insurrectionist.”
How slanderous, nevertheless Big Brother Biden had spoken.
With that leftist Biden regime having so much power in the US government is a situation that is terrible horrendous.
The actual year is 2021 but in spirit it’s “1984.”
