Wake-up Call to Myself Jan Mel Poller
I woke up this morning and asked myself, “what am I doing arguing about Hydroxychloroquine?” I had been having a never-ending discussion about HCQ. Neither of us were influenced by the other.
HCQ is a medical-scientific question. It either works all of the time, some of the time or none of the time. It is either dangerous all of the time, some of the time or none of the time. I cannot have any effect on the question 0f HCQ. I was able to have an effect on getting the Neo-Nazis and KKKers off AOL. I was able to have an effect on destroying the Jew-Hating forum of MoveOn.org. I will turn my efforts to more productive things.
It occurred to me that this widespread battle started because President Trump made a favorable comment about HCQ early in the epidemic. Trump-Haters cannot stand anything that Trump shows any indication of supporting. They do not have this reaction to any other medicine in the world and they all have the same question and they all have possible side effects.
An American I know who is living in Paris, France tells me that Americans are not well informed, unsophisticated and believe in propaganda from one source. While Fox is not specifically mentioned it is alluded to. After all, all the other prime media, like CNN, are always against Trump. Never mind that I am not influenced by the news readers but by videos, audios and writings of original participants in interviews and events, people like politicians. I am also influenced by investigative reporters who have consistently been proven right, by documents obtained under freedom of information requests (FOIA), and by lawyers telling us what the laws are.
I find it ironic that American foreign and domestic policies are held in such contempt by the French. Here are some of the wonderful things that sophisticated French foreign policy has wrought:
France, at one time, was the main arms supplier to Israel. Prior to the 1967
6-Day war, France supplied Israel with Mirage III fighter planes. Israel had designed modifications to make the Mirage 5.
On the eve of the 6-Day war, France placed an arms embargo on Israel which could only help the Arabs. That embargo continues to this day. France would not deliver the 50 Mirage 5 planes that had Israel paid for. Instead, they canceled the sale to Israel and sold them to Libya. France had the chutzpah to ask Israelis to build the cockpit canopy assemblies for the planes for Libya. Israel said no.
Israel had purchased Saar 3 missile combat boats from France. They were all paid for. France would not deliver the boats. On Christmas Eve, 1969, Israel took 5 of their own boats that were docked in Cherbourg, France and set sail to Israel in violation of the French arms embargo.
France’s next brilliant ideal was building the Osirak nuclear reactor near Baghdad so that Iraq, under the iron thumb of Saddam Hussein (“The Butcher of Baghdad”) could make nuclear weapons. Israel had to destroy that in 1981.
Another sophisticated French idea, along with the United States, President Barak Obama’s United Kingdom, China, Russia, and Germany, made the JCPOA Iranian deal. That gave Iran a 10-year path to have nuclear weapons and a lot of money including $1.7 billion in cold cash, to build nuclear weapons and wage its war of terrorism?
There is something that I can fight, where I can influence some people and how they vote. That thing is the battle being waged by the extreme left and technological moguls against out American culture.
There is a move by a far-left (for lack of a better term) group in the United State to do away with capitalism, democracy, even the Bill of Rights. They want a Technological oligarchy and peasants, not a middle class.
They are at work dividing the country by race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, class, ethnicity, and anything else they can think of. They openly state that they don’t want free speech, freedom of religion, or the right of self-defense.
There is an alliance of technocrats, the media, social media, educators and wealthy people who believe that they will be the rulers of the United States.
They have no problem running the country like a police state, or persecuting innocent people like Gen Michael Flynn.
Traditional liberals and Trump haters do not fight them. Better to fight a meaningless battle about Hydroxychloroquine.
That is where I will spend my efforts. Maybe I can do some good there.
