During the “Covid Crisis,” I was busy with a butterfly net catching coronavirus particles, bagging them up and then burning them in a big bonfire. Who knows how many lives I saved? Have any of y’all thanked me for my contributions to public health. Ingrates! As I am a big Greenie, I do the same with C02. I am very conscientious about saving the earth, so I bag up CO2 to keep it from getting into the atmosphere. But you say: “Oh Mr. Rob Is Right, that’s ridiculous, no one can actually see the coronavirus or CO2!” And I say, while transitioning to my alter ego Master Po: “yes Grasshopper and what does this tell you about the agenda of those that want you to live in fear?”
It is fear that makes us not see. Fear is worse than being blind. ( Master Po, 1st episode, Kung Fu, 1972).
Master Po and I are a lot alike. We are both all-knowing with mystical powers and view our role in life is to teach our apprentices how to think critically. So listen up Grasshopper.
Notice that the purveyors of state control seldom try and scare you about things that you can plainly see. They scare you about things that are invisible. Just like one can’t disprove a negative, how can one disprove something that can’t be seen? Like a bunch of Macbethian witches stirring a hot cauldron of stew, they unleash their mystical spell upon the world and tell us all to be scared, to live in fear or else we will succumb to their mysterious invisible spell.
In my latest brilliant article, Well Past Time We Stand Up To The Birkenstock Crowd, I unapologetically lay the wood to the high priests in the Church of Climate Change. In fact, I opened up a giant can of whup ass on Academia’s Priesthood of Doom which preaches unhinged, insane nonsense from their Ivory Tower pulpits. Read the article, these nut jobs want you to live in state-controlled labor camps and eat bugs, but there is something bigger and more nefarious at work than the Chicken Little whining of these scared nimwits who run around screaming with their little pinkies in the air. They are controlled by a higher ecclesiastical order, a bishopry of bad actors, evil men who know the climate freaks are nutjobs, just as Lenin recognized the usefulness of useful idiots to promote the dark agenda of Soviet communism. It is as though members of our current Black Sabbath have little microchips inside the minds of the nutjobs. They use the nutjobs. They tell them what to think and the nutjobs carry water for them. What is it that the Black Sabbath wants? Nothing gives the members of this group more pleasure than to force you to be a prisoner in a miserable, rat-infested dungeon and for them to be your overlords.
Don’t believe me? Remember Covid? Remember Black Sabbath spokespersons Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx? They along with the UK’s Neil Ferguson told you that you and millions of others were going to die if you: went to visit your dying mother, didn’t stay locked up in your house, didn’t restrict your ability to breath by wearing a mask, sent your children to school or went to your favorite restaurant. They told you that you would explode if you got within 6 feet of another human being, unless of course you were rioting and burning down buildings in the name of social justice. Woe to you serf if you walked on a beach or walked in a public park when no one else was within 6 miles of you. Go to church? How dare you. You are forbidden. The only religion that can be acknowledged is that of Statism. Bury your mother? Not allowed. The Nuremburg Code does not apply to the Black Sabbath! Our witch doctors will administer our magic potion. We will cleverly call it a “vaccine.” We don’t care if it kills you. If you refuse to take it, we will make sure you starve! Ha. Ha. Ha!
Back to my Master Po voice: so Grasshopper, do you think it is farfetched to think that the Black Sabbath would want you to live in a C-40 City (basically a gulag), not be able to travel or buy new clothes and force you to eat bugs?
“But Master Po, this group you call the Black Sabbath actually did all those things to protect us from a deadly virus!” Ah Grasshopper! The Black Sabbath knew that prophylactics stopped Covid in its tracks, so they outlawed medicines that would’ve saved hundreds of thousands of lives. If there was no fear of the virus, then the Black Sabbath could not orchestrate a massive transfer of wealth to themselves and their proxies. Without a virus to fear, the Black Sabbath could not lock you in your house, steal your job and refuse to allow you to question their “science.”
Grasshopper, now that you have knowledge of the malevolent machinations of the Black Sabbath’s Covid policies, can you not see their blackened hearts and their true agenda?
“Master Po, you have opened my eyes, I now can see. It makes me think that the Climate Crisis is nothing more than a ruse! The Black Sabbath casts an evil spell over the weak minded, especially Birkenstock wearing college professors! It manipulates useful idiots to fulfill and satisfy their lust for money and dominion over others.”
Ah, Grasshopper, now you are beginning to understand. Soon you will be able to fetch the pebbles from my hand, but there is more to learn. The Black Sabbath has control over the people’s purse. Pay them what they demand, or you will be imprisoned. They use the people’s money to promote the fiction of fear. Obsequious lapdogs at universities are on the dole. The Black Sabbath will give the “pointy heads” wheelbarrows of the people’s money if they merely write illogically obtuse white papers on why Topeka, Kansas will be underwater in 5 years. “But Master Po, are things really as corrupt as you say?” Yes, Grasshopper.
“But Master Po, mankind’s industry does create environmental problems. I think that’s undeniable. Does it not make sense for the Black Sabbath to make us buy things that don’t pollute the earth? To tell us what are good industries and what are bad ones?”
No Grasshopper, it does not. The Black Sabbath has its own agenda, and it uses other people’s money to achieve their ends. Their incentives are to be praised for spending other people’s money, not to be good stewards of what they have been given. All societal improvements derive from capital being in private hands. It is never an efficacious use of capital to take money from investors and give it to the Black Sabbath. It is the supply of capital that creates all good things. Grasshopper, look at my hand. (Master Po makes his hand invisible). Do you see it? “No, Master, it is invisible.” Yes, Grasshopper, but just because you don’t see my hand, does not mean that it and millions of other hands are not at work, engaging in commerce and providing goods and services to others.
“I think I understand Master Po, when capital is left in the hands of private citizens, they serve the needs of humanity through trillions of voluntary transactions that are invisible, but the Black Sabbath takes capital from these people and throws it down a rat hole pretending they are all wise, when in reality they are a bunch of useless dumbshits. Forgive my profanity Master Po! ( Grasshopper bows 3 times).”
Exactly, Grasshopper. Take electric vehicles. They don’t work, and nobody wants them. It is a massive misallocation of capital. When the Black Sabbath enacts rules forcing people to buy them, that money is not going to other productive sources. The invisible hand is always cutting waste and finding efficiencies. The invisible hand is always creating new technologies and ironically many of these new technologies improve the environment, but the Black Sabbath’s lust prevents these technologies from coming to fruition by robbing the productive of their industry. “Tell me more Master Po.”
Ok, Grasshopper. Let’s use plastic bags and non-recyclables as an example. The invisible hand hates waste. Waste is best measured in costs. The end result of a production process is the waste that is left over. If the Black Sabbath issues a decree, “no more plastics bags and plastic packaging,” this will drive the costs of bags and packaging higher, and necessarily there will be less capital to create other good things that people want and need. The invisible hand has already squeezed all the waste out of the production process. When the Black Sabbath issues such decrees there are always consequences. In the case of plastic bags, more trees will be cut down to pay for paper bags and more paper mills will spew pollution in the air. Trees eat C02 and give us oxygen, shade, lumber, mulch and many other benefits, and since paper doesn’t work as well as plastic bags, it takes much more paper to carry the same weight. The invisible hand has already figured out that plastic is often better and cheaper, just like the invisible hand has already figured out that a combustible engine vehicle is far better than an electric engine. In fact, the more capital in private hands, the greater the likelihood that capital will flow to sources that will one day find a way to utilize plastic waste and create even better and more environmentally friendly cars. The Black Sabbath actually makes the environment worse by pretending to help it. It diverts capital into the dark abyss, not allowing it to stay in the hands of those who will put it to productive use. For example Grasshopper, diverting $ 2 trillion into government mandated “green energy” is akin to waging war on the populace. $ 2 trillion buys 8 million $250,000 residential units which could easily house 5 people/unit. Wasting this money is the equivalent of destroying the housing stock for 40 million people. The bombing of Dresden, Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not do this much damage. But it is even worse, $2 trillion is being diverted from all the good that it would do if left in private hands. The Black Sabbath foolishly wastes money on past technologies. No one knows what future technologies will be, but when capital is left in the private sector, it is absolutely certain that it will create better products and services than those favored by the Black Sabbath.
“Master Po, how is it you know so much?” I read Real Clear Markets every day. I especially like that Rob Is Right guy.”
