The thinking classes in America want to emulate the theocratic lunacy of the Sixteenth Century. They have become everything they used to despise as cruel, unjust, and crazy.
The world turns and things change. Everybody knows that. But the turnings and changings throw off sparks, which light fires. The intellectual turnings of the European Renaissance lit fires in the lumbering bureaucracy of Roman Catholicism, burdened as it was with abstruse theology larded with lingering, age-old superstition. Witch hunts, inquisitions, and persecutions ensued, even as the authority of the old order wobbled and frayed. The gross cruelties of the people in charge didn't bolster their prestige,
and a few centuries later you see the result: belief is dead.Likewise in Western Civ today. Our authorities have disgraced themselves behind
a new theology of degenerate "science" that veers back into superstition and necromancy. Proof that they don't believe their own story shows in their
desperate efforts to hide the data, confabulate numbers, ignore true facts, and lash out viciously at anyone who discloses their zealous deceits.
Comment: Unlike Europe, China has a number of options, and funds, with which to source its energy supplies, and yet it is still concerned it might not have sufficient stock to make it through the tumultuous period up ahead (which will likely continue well after winter). One could consider this a rather ominous move, and that China's actions should probably be heeded, because, as just one example of its governments rather prescient policies, it was subsidizing its farmers with billions of dollars way back in June of 2021 for fuel and fertilizer, commodities that were soon plagued with with soaring prices and shortages.
