We Dodged A Bullet

At Zero Hedge, there is an article by Tyler Durden entitled "The Whole Model Is Broken": 'Tech Mafia Wife' Admits 'We Were Klaus Schwab's Useful Idiots'. The article features an interview with Nichol Shanahan, the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin and former vice presidential candidate. As an aside, we dodged a bullet when RFK,Jr dropped out of the race because this woman shouldn't be anywhere near the levers of power.

Now, I am sure Nichol Shanahan is a perfectly nice person in the normal sense of the word. I am sure she is compassionate and kind. The kind of woman who bakes cookies for the school fund raiser.  But one has to think that if a person with this kind of wealth, who because she has access to a staff, and did not figure out long ago that the Davos crowd was a total fraud...she must be a total idiot.

Remember that Klaus Shwab wanted a 'great reset' so we could "build back better."  Hmmm. Wouldn't you think it might be a good idea to ask what "building back better" would look like? Wouldn't you also think that maybe it would be a good idea to ask how we were supposed to pay for it?  You don't have to get too much in the weeds to read that "BBB" means we will own nothing and be happy. Said with that German accent, it sounds more like a threat.  She owns a lot, so I would think that might bother her. And when you think about it, if no one owns anything, no one takes care of anything, and everything without care turns to crap.

Digging just a little deeper, there is the idea that AI and robotics will do everything for us. Of course, that won't happen either. Someone has to build things, pave roads, repair electrical lines, and do other stuff robots cannot do.  But the disturbing part is the belief that there will be too many useless eaters and that we will have to shed...oh, I don't know...some 8 billion of us? Murdering 8 billion people doesn't sound too compassionate to me. No, it sounds hauntingly like the adage attributed to Lenin that 'To make an omlet you must break a few eggs.' We know how that turned out.

She claims that the other members of the 'Tech Wives Mafia' believed the same things as she did. If so, it just proves that these women, who, remember, did not make the money themselves, they just had access to it by virtue of their husbands, do not deserve it. As I say, we dodged a bullet. If, as it sounds like in the interview, she has repented, then good for her. Please note that the United States as founded was not and is not perfect. No human government can be. But the government the Left would put upon us is even less perfect. Keep that in mind.
