D.L. Gardner: We Live in a Corrupt World

 COVID-19! It’s spreading around the world and nothing can stop it. No one is immune. No medications can stop it or even impede its spread. We are all going to die! If everyone locks down for two weeks, we can bend the curve. Three more weeks. Isolate all summer, wear masks, distance socially. Close churches and all other non-essential places where people gather. 


And, just like that it was all over. For the past two years until a couple of weeks ago, cable news and establishment outlets continually streamed COVID numbers of deaths, hospitalizations, and cases along with the usual dire warnings. Suddenly COVID disappeared. No more mandates for masks or inoculations. What happened to, “We’re all going to die!”? Overnight?


We live in a corrupt world. Russia is corrupt. Putin is crazy. Ukrainians are being slaughtered. World leaders consult and fret over any interventions that might aggravate the situation. For whom? Ukrainians? Give planes and weapons to Ukrainian pilots. Let them defend their country. Give weapons and aid to Ukrainian forces. Let them defend their country.


America is as corrupt as any nation on earth. The establishment (political, media, academic, etc.) is completely corrupt and following the narrative in lockstep. Remember five or six years ago how Trump and Russia were irrevocably one and the same threat to “democracy?” Daily for five years Washington establishment charged Trump with wild allegations about his connections with Russia. None true. All false.


Earth Day was first celebrated in America April 22, 1970, led by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin. From then on Americans have been assaulted with hundreds of dire predictions that the world would freeze over, burn up, or be ravaged continually by daily weather events globally.  We’re still waiting. 


After the 2020 elections, America’s establishment commandeered and solidified control of government, media, and bureaucracy to manipulate the masses (that’s us) via fear and mandates. Besides the usual establishment narrative, authorities swiveled 100% to the environment. “Hey, hey, ho, ho! Fossil fuels have got to go!”


Given the reins of an energy independent nation, President Biden not only ended tens of thousands of good paying union jobs across America’s energy sectors, but he also made America dependent on oil from Russia, Iran, and other foreign producers. How many billions of dollars has America paid Russia under Biden and Democrats with complicit support of establishment media? No body saw Putin invading Ukraine, a small country, ravaging civilians. America is still funding Putin’s war with our payments for Russian oil.


All politicians are corrupt. Their primary goal in life is reelection. All other goals are money and power. America’s establishment is the political class. America is still fortunate to have a few “public servants,” but these are a small remnant of servants who have truly served America and her people over the past 200-plus years. 


America’s establishment will continue to generate crises. There is no better way to control everybody else. Controlling everybody else is the means to more money and power. Crises always demand government responses, usually one-size-fits-all. Any who oppose government responses are enemies and extremists. 


Beware the lie that it doesn’t matter who is president, that the president really has very little control over domestic or foreign matters. That is a lie the establishment wants the rest of us to believe.

Agree with everything except: Putin"s not crazy; that's an establishment narrative. IF Ukranians are being slaughtered, it's because the U.S.is fanning the flames and using it as a proxy war. And it doesn't matter who is president; the establishment picks the president based on what they want to do in the ensuing 4-8 years and what narrative they want to spin.

We live in a corrupt world. Blah, blah, blah. They said that in ancient Egypt, Persia, Babylon, China, the Roman Empire, British Colonial Empire, Germany, Japan, USSR, and now America. If this is news, we have missed the last four thousand years.
Instead of doing what is right, we follow the will of men...men who are lead by their own selfish mortal ambitions. The only thing that has changed is our numbers and technology. We are just more capable of self-destruction.

This guy is the nickelback of “writing,” or whatever you want to call what he does.

I wish someone would have told him to stick to his day job.

You know, when it comes to the virus it seems there are millions of Monday Morning Quarterbacks that want to tell us "I told you so." They seemed to have some divine insight as to what was going to happen, and now they are telling everyone "I told you so". BS!!! No one knew what would or would not happen. Did masks help? Hell, I don't know and neither does anyone else. Oh yea, they can quote you studies that say one way or the other, but no one really knows. What about all the shut downs. Did it stop the spread? No. But what would have happened if we hadn't shut down? Again no one knows. No one that is except all these Monday Morning Quarterbacks.

Wait, what? D.L. Telling us what the Word has been saying for centuries (this existence/world is corrupt). How about leaving that for Frank Pollard who actually does know about which he speaks.

So Kanye isn’t the only Jeen-yuhs. D.L. and Kanye need to meet and solutions for world problems will spew forth.

As someone who was intially duped by the Establishment lies about 9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq, I don't believe much of anything coming from the mainstream media or the corrupt, lying US government. The recent COVID crisis was used by these people as an excuse to consolidate power and further condition the people to OBEY.

The current situation in Ukraine is most likely happening due to the normal US meddling in foreign affairs. The US government made a promise about 30 years ago to not expand NATO. That promise was quickly broken and this sort of thing is the result.

The last thing we need to do is meddle more by sending aid to Ukraine. It's none of our affair.

Corruption in America came gradually, mostly through marxists in public schools starting in the 1960s. Now, two generations later, corruption is fueled in schools, government, media and woke corporations by domestic Communists, Soros and Chinese infiltration.

Democrats asserting that denying Climate Religion surpasses all other global crises or that the unarmed, harmless cartoon of January 6th 2020 was an armed insurrection or that Biden did not cause inflation or that Putin's bloody invasion of Ukraine could not have been prevented or stopped without nuke risk... all of these are atrocities committed against our American conscience. What violence will be required to right this wrong if reason is denied?

Fixing American public education with vouchers and choice, now perverse and worthless, is an important start.

Danny seems upset that COVID finally went away here, despite folks like him doing everything they can to prolong things. If he misses it so much, he can go to Europe where it's surging again or China where they're locking down cities of 9 million.

Some here read only the first couple sentences: then, like Lizzy Borden, swing their axe. Read the whole article, cogitate, then respond.

The news media has learned that they can tell most of the people what to do and they will not question them. They can take a lie and convince most people it is the gospel. We have no one to blame except ourselves. We have turned our back on Mother Nature. We choose the parents of the next generation instead of letting Mother Nature help us. We let the weak become the parents of our next generation.

It doesn't take a genius to see that if we would have treated covid like the flu we would not be in this mess. All of the numbers the media have been feeding us comes right out of the ass of a bull. The news media has helped to over throw our country by aiding and allowing crooked politicians to become our leaders.

Our leaders in the last year have damaged our country more than any other country could have ever done. Russia could not have done it. China could not have done it. Our own leaders can and did do it. The news media controls our politicians.

Uh, COVID hasn't disappeared. Case numbers are just back to where we were around this time last year. If we are so addled that we can't remember the recent past, then we will fall for anything that speaks to our gut/emotions in the moment.

Along those lines, perhaps Daniel should review his column from four weeks ago, posted on February 12, 2022, titled "Who is Driving the Anti-American Sentiment."

My answer now is the same as it was then: You are, D.L. Gardner, and so are others like you, who make their livings by pandering to the worst in us.

11:51 am Too many of us did treat Covid like the flu and you seem to forget this didn't get a foothold in this country last year and this year. When we had a chance to stop in from spreading here, Trump was President. We didn't quarantine those returning from overseas. Supplies and testing capability was gutted in budgets.

And, you clearly haven't read the research of late showing brain damage and long term effects for those who had Covid and weren't vaccinated. Guess what? Worldwide people that die in hospitals and cadavers in med schools are being test for Covid before being autopsied even when they die of other causes. That's how they know the dead body had had CV and that it had created an pattern of holes in the brain not seen before. The vaccinated aren't showing the same organ damage.

See...that was always the problem with a "novel" virus. We didn't know what it would do in the long run. But, you anti-vaxxers and Covidiots always thought your instincts were better than scientific research and expected research to happen quickly.

When the effects hit your friends and relatives, remember who to blame by looking in the mirror.

I love minions like 1pm. This sucker is a true believer through and through. I must say I admire the dedication to paranoia and the narrative, but this fool would hold onto the mast to the darkest depths of the abyss as life boats float empty above.

Actually, we live in a FALLEN WORLD, dating back to shortly after the beginning of time. Corruption is just one of many byproducts of humankind's original fall from grace. See Genesis 3:1-24.
But there is some really GOOD NEWS. See John 3.

The amount of people who still think empty virtue signaling makes them the hero of this narrative (1:00) is astounding.

On the flip side, I also don't feel the need to superiorly say "I told you so" when I guessed the response was an over reaction. Because I was guessing. And just happen to be correct.

But the number of people who could not have both a healthy level of fear of an unknown illness, AND a healthy does of skepticism and critical thinking about the media's treatment of this whole drama is the most upsetting thing to come from this chapter of history.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
