11. What I have learned is how deep and unrealistic the myth of control is, and how out of touch

Elites are when they continue to promulgate the outlook. If it were not for the near-hegemony among the media, with its agitprop for control, there would hardly he an outlook; even the money bags of Bloomberg would have little consequence, except to be a PETA-like distraction with which to entertain readers and viewers.

Sandy Hook, far from being a "turning point," "sea change," or "tipping point," was a revelation of the deep divisions between large segments of our population on the one hand, and on the other the shrill cries of "Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot, fighting in the captain's tower" of a shiprwreck that is gun control and the viability of the Party.
