What the hell happened to the “Fat Lady”?
In America they have a saying that “it’s not over until the fat lady sings”.
It seems to me that the “fat lady” has been singing for quite some time and might even have gone hoarse, but no one heard her or they were too busy following the red herrings of what Donald Trump calls fake news to pay attention. .
Now I know that I have probably not been politically correct here by using the word “fat”, please forgive me, I am not up to date on this topic, but I will refer to the term “size challenged” or “large”. to mitigate crime.
It is rapidly becoming apparent that the wide range of threats and critical issues hitting the traditional and historic structures of Western civilizations are so overwhelming that those who have something or someone they care about are bracing themselves for a Humpty Dumpty-type scenario of biblical proportions. .
As in Humpty’s case, when he fell off the wall and the cracks appeared, “all the king’s horses and all the king’s men could not put Humpty back together.”
Sounds a bit like Brexit, doesn’t it, or maybe the US democratic system?
There have been over fifty murders in London this year so far, all unsolved. We see the headlines, it seems like every day, there’s another one. The police blame the gangs and ask the public for help.
But doesn’t this mean that there are more than fifty killers walking around, sitting in bars, dining in restaurants, and more than fifty grieving families, may be plotting revenge or now living with traumatized children?
Moped robberies, acid attacks, hate crimes, enacted in record numbers and mostly unsolved.
Across the pond, politically opposing factions have become so acrimonious that one faction has taken to publicly shaming and actually harassing some of the figures in the current administration.
“Celebrities” have taken it upon themselves to make such incredibly hateful and malicious statements via social media about public figures that emphasize the rationality of a healthy person’s mind.
America seems to be up to its elbows in fear, hate and insecurity, just like the rest of the planet.
All the blood that was spilled and the pain that went into forging these great democracies seems to be rising from the ground like an invisible virus, affecting the minds of the people and their elected government.
If the “big lady” hasn’t sung yet, what the hell is she waiting for?
