to the editor from this week's Chronicle To the Editor The Attack We Face There is a multi-pronged attack on human life as we know it right now. I was watching a very good editorial video by Jordan Peterson telling the elites of Canada to “back off” on their “climate change” initiatives that would most certainly bankrupt and starve much of Canada and would not save anyone or the planet by taking such draconian “ends justifies the means” measures. It occurred to me that there is a multi-pronged attack on virtually anyone that isn’t super-rich. Those attack vectors are justice, information, mind, community, money, technology, health, energy, and finally, food, in that order. For well over 100 years, various slow but systematic changes have been made to our governmental and social systems to advance this attack. The enemy has coordinated these attacks with careful timing, intrigue and clever misleading to eliminate one obstacle after another, bringing us to the end-game we see today. There may be a way to stop this attack via a revolutionary tax revolt, but I doubt we have the time or the ability to coordinate such a defense. The only other option I see is a spiritual one where the powers of good beat the powers of evil from a plane higher than this earthly one.

The amazing memory and keen eye of editor and friend Greg Wherry of the Chronicle, spotted a “Fake News” sentence in the second to last paragraph of last week’s RNR! I quote: “I must say I am glad to live in Cottonwood, ID which did not miss a beat on school closures! Our children went to school and played sports as usual, though with some limitations on attendance of spectators were endured!” The facts, noted by Greg! We did go to state in girls basketball in 2020, but that spring our spring sports season was kaput! School also went to online only through the end of that school year. Fall sports slowly got going a bit after an early season sputter which cancelled our first football game scheduled annually against a team from southern Idaho and played in Middleton. A season opening volleyball tournament also got cancelled. From that point on, fall sports and later winter sports did slowly take off with occasional interruptions and re-schedulings, and with very limited attendance by parents, relatives and friends. Attendance and sport schedules slowly returned to normal during 2021 while attendance at school returned almost to normal. My thanks to Greg for the keen observation, and the corrections! My only real excuse is that my wife’s battle with a delay of almost six months in a needed hip surgery kept me from normal attendance during that 2020 sport season and part of the next one! Continued here is an attempt to close a discussion started a few weeks ago relating to news items popping up daily. Mentioned to date was the controversy surrounding the claim that the 2020 election was manipulated, giving Biden an unsuspected win, that a Supreme Court decision overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade law requiring that every state provide abortion services, that our southern border was admitting thousands of unchecked immigrants, many law breakers and felons, drug pushers and female trafficking advocates. Closing last week’s review was a peek at the near 10% inflation rate that is making life more difficult for those on fixed incomes. And the question was asked, is not the current administration’s obsession with a new “green economy” restricting the role traditionally played by oil products, and the limits placed on drilling for that source not responsible for the surge in fuel prices that contributes to that inflation? Say nothing of the continued call for huge spending programs that continue to add out our growing $30 trillion debt? And what about our president’s recent push to eliminate $10,000 of debt off of college students who we are told average close to $40,000 each as they make their way through four years of expensive Ivy League schools, living rather comfortable lives in private apartments and driving modern cars? Does not each of the issues mentioned just above not concern the average citizen about the future of our country? Is it not the responsibility of every true patriot to question the impact on our future of these issues? Do we not recall from earlier studies of American history that our country in the past resembled a “melting pot,” a kind of stew where all different individuals cam together, cooperated and worked together to give us the best country to live in regardless of color, race or background? Is it not true that today as one watches professional sports or sports at the college level that differences of color or race seem to be of no concern to teams all over the country? Obviously, exceptions occur now and then, but the overall impression is that color, race, national background is not important in the building of winning, successful teams! Recent historians have suggested that America has abandoned the “melting pot” notion of the mixing of different people, replacing it with a “salad bowl” mix where every ingredient keeps its identity and even insists on demanding its recognition and access to the best things of life! And of course, along with that change, has come a growing animosity among Americans! Jake Wren
