A man can sleep better at night thinking evil men in charge havea plan than realizing incompetent idiots with no plan are in charge. ManyAmericans have resorted to conspiracy theories because they will not processthat idiots are in charge in a confluence of random events who make mattersworse through their gross incompetence.
During COVID, many people believed so many of the things thatwere conspiracies came true. They were never conspiracies. They were statementsof common sense that ordinary Americans knew were true but thebureaucrats insisted were not so. The competence of ordinary Americans wasgiven disproportion disadvantage to the incompetence of the bureaucrats. Sixfeet between Americans and plexiglass panels were not going to stop a virus.Everyone knew except the bureaucrats. Once the vaccine proved ineffective,there was never a reason for a booster. But the bureaucrats said otherwise.
It was always obvious that if Iran were able to sell more oil,it would use the profits to fund more terrorism. The bureaucrats said it wouldnot be so and released a pile of cash to Iran and let them sell oil. Iranfunded Hamas. Hamas attacked Israel. The bureaucrats and the government provedincompetent again.
Now,a 20-year-old loner named Thomas Michael Crooks came within an inch of killingformer President Donald Trump in a field in Pennsylvania. Every line of sightis supposed to be protected when a President takes a stage. The director of theSecret Service, however, said in an ABC News interview that because the roof ofthe building where Crooks took up his spot had a slope, it would haveendangered Secret Service agents’ lives to take up a position on a roof. Agentswhose job is to jump in front of a bullet to protect the President could not beon a minimally sloped roof lest they get injured. The snipers on the even moresharply sloped roof who shot Crooks were local police, not the Secret Service,because of the slope.
The Secret Service and local police failed to coordinate. Theyfailed to communicate. Hours before the event, they saw Crooks. They saw himagain with a range finder measuring out distances. Members of the crowd saw himand pointed him out to local police. Local police seemed convinced the crowdwas seeing the Secret Service. In fact, the Secret Service advance team knewand directed that particular roof be secured, and it was not.
On the left, people have speculated that Trump staged theshooting to advance himself politically. Others are convinced Crooks hit ateleprompter and it shattered, cutting Trump’s ear. The reality is a bulletgrazed Trump’s ear. The teleprompters were not hit and there are photos toprove it.
On the right, people have speculated the Biden administrationattempted to kill Trump. Perhaps agents were given a “do not fire” order.Someone created a social media post claiming to be the police sniper, in whichhe said as much. It was fake. The reality is the government would not rely on a20-year-old who got booted from the high school rifle team for being a badshot. The reality is the government could have concocted a private heart attackinstead of a very public shooting.
The reality is we are governed by idiots. The bureaucracy thatcannot deliver the mail on time cannot do much competently. The reality isTrump survived by the grace of God against a confluence of incompetence. Torestore trust in institutions, people must be held accountable. But Joe Biden,who fired no one after the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, nor firedhis secretary of defense for disappearing while on the job, nor fired anyoneelse ever, will not fire the director of the Secret Service. With noaccountability, there is no incentive for competence.
Rome could survive repeated crises because its bureaucracyworked for the glory of Rome. We are on the verge of social collapse becauseour bureaucrats and leaders are idiots working for their own advancement. Aweek ago, that incompetence very nearly got a former President killed and verynearly started serious civil unrest.
