It was once said that the handgun was the great equalizer; and in it’s day, it was. The power it contained made weak men great and brought the elite down to an even level. One might nick-name their rifle “AT&T” because it let’s you reach out and touch someone over long distances.
Recently, the coronavirus “Covid-19” has become the newest “great equalizer”. It has done what so many had thought to be impossible: expose exactly how fragile capitalism really is. Many have defended our current economic model, but Covid-19 shows that in many ways, the economy (and the world) does not HAVE to be the way it currently is…..
- It showed who is considered “essential” and who is not. But being “essential” is not always a good thing, since you have a greater chance of coming in contact with someone who is infected, thus actually making you “sacrificial”.
- It underlines exactly how universal healthcare is needed by one and all.
- It showed that it IS possible for many people to tele-commute from home.
- It showed that financial assistance can be used to help the people, without everyone getting all wound up with insults about “socialism!!”.
- It showed that major changes CAN be enacted on a global scale, quickly.
- It pushed non-essential businesses to change their product line to remain “essential” in an ever adapting marketplace.
- It showed that an economic recession hits hard and fast, even if you are prepared for it.
- It showed that man-made atmospheric problems, such as smog and global warming, can be quickly improved simply by shutting down production.
- The New York mafia is taking a hit from the novel coronavirus pandemic after many of its money-making outlets have been shuttered.
- Americans are driving less and that’s cutting into red-light camera revenue.
- April 15th was historically “tax day” in the United States, but that date can be changed without dire problems.
- Insurance companies CAN cover healthcare costs, if they want to….
And so much more.
Is Covid-19 really “an attack by the anarchists to show exactly how fragile our capitalistic economy really is” (as some have claimed), or is it just a natural part of our biological world that we don’t understand yet? Dead men tell no lies…..

Our Republic has been under attack since inception, the enemy has bankrupted us both morally and financially, we have squandered our inheritance, we have stolen from the future and enslaved the unborn with our fiat time machine. The “Wuhan” has clarified how little we value our rights and our woeful inability to define and defend what is most important. Sheep will always be governed by wolves, welcome to the New World Order.
