"We're In The Middle Of A Revolution" - VICTOR DAVIS HANSON Warns: "The Next 12 Months Will Be The Most Explosive In History"

INDICT ONE-AND ALL ? (VICTOR DAVIS HANSON)

 

Historian Victor Davis Hanson sat down with Tucker Carlson to discuss his perspective on the current political climate in the US, asserting that American liberalism is characterized by dishonesty, and warning about what he sees as liberal efforts to introduce a highly intolerant age.

"It's hard for most Americans to comprehend the total dishonesty of American liberalism."

VDH says Trump represents a significant threat to the specific vision held by liberals, who are employing a "critical legal theory," in which traditional moral values are abandoned in favor of whatever gains power.

 

 

Hanson emphasizes that the traditional boundaries and norms are being renegotiated, from the Senate filibuster and the Electoral College to societal understandings of gender and language, raising concerns that:

"We're in the middle of a cultural, economic, political revolution," but "we think that we’re still playing within the same sidelines or parameters, and we’re not. Everything’s under negotiation.”

Hanson argues that the legal actions against Trump are politically motivated and biased and designed to send a message to the half of America that will not simple 'comply':

“The idea is now that we now have the power to do this, and because we have the power to do it, it’s moral and right, and if you don’t like it, what are you doing to do about it?”

Finally, Hanson issues a call to action of sorts, noting that “There are legitimate efforts to rectify and stop this madness and let’s see what happens in 2024."

"You need leaders who will tell people we are in a Jacobin takeover of this country, and the old get along at any cost does not work,” Hanson said.

"I hope everybody can keep their head because I think the next 12 to 18 months are going to be the most explosive in our history since the Great Depression."

URSULA VON DER LEYEN: ¡ NOSOTROS VACUNAMOS UN CONTINENTE ! (13 DE SEPTIEMBRE 2023)

No mention finally of the fact that even if there was no public-health logic to “vaccinating an entire continent”, there was indeed a mercantile logic for at least one EU member state: namely, Germany. As recounted in my short history of the BioNTech-Pfizer partnership here, the German Government not only supported BioNTech from its inception, but sponsored its very founding. 

Ursula von der Leyen was herself a member of the German Government which sponsored the founding of BioNTech in 2008. She had also been a member of the German Government which, after her move to the European Commission in late 2019, would go on to pour another €375 million in subsidies into supporting BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine candidate. 

While the rest of the European economy suffered, in 2021-2022, the years of mass vaccinating the European continent (“and large parts of the world”), BioNTech would go from earning zero profits to earning €31 billion in profits on a nearly 80% profit margin, thus becoming the veritable motor of German economic growth. (For these figures, see here.) 

In perhaps not unrelated news, on September 1st, 10 days before the American FDA made a similar announcement, the European Commission announced that it was authorising BioNTech-Pfizer’s “[XBB.1.5-]adapted COVID-19 vaccine for Member States’ autumn vaccination campaigns”.
