It's an old saying, gun shy. It probably began as a simple description of a hunting dog being startled when the gun went off. Over the years it has taken on new meaning. It can now mean a person that is nervous, scared or overly cautious. That saying came to mind as I listened to the news. Governors, Dr. Fauci and everyday citizens concerned about " reopening " the country. I'd have to say they all sounded gun shy to me. I'd also say a bit of fear mongering is going on. If we open too soon, there will be misery and death! That's what the Dr. said. The underlining message was a simple one, we should all just wait for a vaccine! It isn't going to be safe until we all comply with that agenda! Indeed, the tracking teams are being recruited and trained as I write this piece. They are calling it something else, contact tracing, but make no mistake about it, you are being tracked. Depending upon which expert you choose it is effective or ineffective. It is effective at knowing where you go that much is certain. If they are tracking your cell phone don't you think they can access that phone as well? I don't know for sure but I'm thinking the answer has to be yes.
But setting that little tidbit aside consider this. I'm no epidemiologist, although there appears to be an abundance of those folks on Facebook, I wonder why they aren't working on the problem instead of being on Facebook, but this virus is never going to just disappear. It will always be out there, the invisible enemy ready to strike. Yes that sounds quite dramatic, I should be on the news shows. This " mitigation " has been going on since mid-march. The economic impact has been significant. In fact, it is deeply concerning to those that really understand international finance. I'm not one of those but understand you can't just give out money without anything coming in and expect to stay solvent for long. Wasn't long ago the government said they couldn't afford to give SS recipients anything greater than 2.8%. Today they are giving an additional 600 dollars a week to unemployment benefits, 1200 dollar checks to over 120 million people so far, and they want to do it again. All the while telling people, just stay home. Where is that money supposed to come from? That's the real elephant in the room and the subject they try to avoid.
But we have closed the country for business. It could last until labor day. We won't be safe until everyone is vaccinated, tagged and bagged! That's the real agenda here. The schools are closed and not everyone has the internet or devices. That has to be rectified right away. What do you need that for? It's for the children, the usual reason for doing these things, it's for the children. If we can make sure every home has the internet, and a digital signature, it will be easier to keep track of people. Those we can't track, we will confine to their homes, or a home provided by the government. You will not be " safe " to be among the compliant population. Compliance is mandatory!
There are some in a position of power that are calling for a return to business. They are not popular. I feel a great deal of that has to do with the reporting of the news and the response of the government. We hear the stats on those that died, but how many have recovered. We hear. millions of people have lost their jobs, the unemployment rate is higher than during the great depression. What you don't hear is, those people didn't lose their jobs they were ordered to stay home! The unemployment rate is so high because businesses are not allowed to operate. The great depression began in 1929 with the collapse of Wall Street. What preceded that? It was the roaring twenties and the economy was booming, it was destined to fall. There were many bank loans out there, debt was mounting, and then came panic from the public in general. The big sell off of assets triggered that crash. Watching the market today can cause that same panic. What caused the panic we are seeing? A virus or was it the response to that virus? And now when the call to reopen business is made what do we hear? Better not, better wait a while, we wouldn't want to reopen too soon? Too soon for what? Do you mean before the population can be made to comply, before the population is sufficiently gun shy to just stay home!
Yes there will be those that are happy with all of this. Some are getting more money now than when they were working. Every form of business today is becoming more " user " friendly. Insurance companies giving rebates. landlords prohibited from raising the rent or evicting you for non payment. checks from the government. internet access for all, the government providing lap tops and other devices, for the children, deferred payments on most everything. But it is those folks that either just don't know or just don't care that there will be a day of reckoning. The day comes when the bills must be paid. Then what? In 1929 a booming economy collapsed upon itself. What was the response from FDR. Social programs. Yes, that is what the response was. The CCC was formed to put people to work, Social Security came into being, It was called the new deal. Just a little bit of socialism. And now will there be another " new deal? " Just what will that look like? That all depends upon one thing doesn't it? This is no time to be Gun Shy! What brought down the economy this time? A virus, a fear, experts preaching gloom and doom. Or was it opportunity? An opportunity being exploited to establish a " new deal? " A new socialism? Trust us, just stay home.
I offer all of this simply as something to give thought too. I don't believe this virus was manufactured and released to the public as any international plot. I am saying there are those that will exploit any perceived advantage they can to further there political ideals. There is far more going on here than is being told. Trump, among others call this a war. Indeed it could very well be a form of warfare. Politics is warfare. This is quickly developing into a struggle between two factions. The one side saying, get back to work and the other just wanting to stay home. It was the same way during the revolution. Yeah, some said just pay the tax. They were a bit gun shy. But thankfully there were those that knew better, that took a stand. Yeah it was going to come at a cost, freedom always does. The cost was a terrible one. It was worth it though.
