In Frank Capra’s 1946 black and white classic, It’s a Wonderful Life, Jimmy Stewart plays the film’s hero, George Bailey. In the movie’s denouement, George’s world is collapsing around him. Because his drunken uncle goofed, George’s family-run Building and Loan—which, out of loyalty to his deceased father, George gave up his dreams to manage—will fail. George will take the fall and be imprisoned for embezzlement. With Christmas Eve turning into his Dark Night of the Soul, George stands alone on an iron truss ridge in a blizzard. In order to end his misery, he leaps to his death in the rushing, icy river below.
I'm glad you bring up the issue of human fertility, a massive elephant in the room that nobody is talking about. When was the last time you saw a pregnant woman?
Last minute Christmas shopping took me to a local mall last night. It looked a lot better than last Christmas. Every small and large store was open, the parking lots were jammed, and a slight majority were unmasked (Tempe, AZ area). So that was great, but I haven't seen one obviously pregnant woman there or in supermarkets in at least a month.
But only about half of Arizonans are vaxxed. Likely fewer after subtraction of propaganda effect, counterfeits, saline shots, full vial dumps, etc. So is spike protein shedding from the vaxxed also contributing to reduced fertility? I will be looking into this more in 2022, IF any reliable data will be available.
The large players don't care about the lives they have destroyed, these psychopaths think they are saving humanity by depopulating 90% of the earth.
It's the useful idiots, the mid-level and low-level bureaucrats, who will eventually realize their hubris ultimately killed hundreds of thousands. Those people will end up losing grip on their sanity, sink into despair, ultimately kill themselves, unless their cognitive dissonance and narcissism is so strong (looking at you Gavin Newsom), they never realize what they are responsible for and have helped create.
I have no sympathy for either group, their crimes against humanity are so vast, they shall reap what they have sown.
One thing that is truly unsettling is the public's support for Fauci. He is responsible for killing thousands during the AIDS crisis, poisoned the last few generations of children through childhood vaccination, has moved on to murdering millions with covid and even the revelation of puppy torture hasn't changed his public idolization. Terrifying.
They held a 5K run in the town where the movie was filmed about a week ago, I participated. The run starts on that bridge in your photo.
There were over 3,000 participants in the run with everyone packed like sardines on the bridge waiting for the starting gun. Nobody was wearing a mask and while there were some wearing them around a packed town there weren't many.
There aren't many people I talk to who aren't fed up with all of the various mandates and policies and I live in one of the epicenters of Covid lunacy.
Thanks for your beautiful post Mark. The tide has turned even as the media and the Pharma hooligans and their political parasites pretend otherwise. This likely means that those retrograde elements will attempt to double down on their failures and crimes.
Where this goes is anybody's guess. We all play a role. For my part I plan to expose the lies at every turn, non-stop as these bastards have ruined millions of lives including some close to me.
It's all lies. There is not one iota of truth to any aspect of the Covid swindle.
2 things: it was George’s drunken UNCLE who misplaced the funds for deposit…. That ended up in Potter’s hands , and, Clarence jumped into the river just before George, so when George jumped in, it was to save Clarence. Just saying…..
beautifully written, Mark... i am confident that the perpetrators will someday review the consequences of their deeds... they are marked with a permanent stain...
A fine read, Mark - it bought back some sweet memories not only of that movie, but of simpler times when the government wasn’t always “up in my stuff”. I hate to think this, but I fear the more people awaken from this perpetrated nightmare, the more ramped up horrendous new planned “developments” will unfold. After all, the satanic “humans” calling the shots have been war-gaming this for what, thirty years and think they are holding all the cards. Well, there will be unintended consequences, and in the end God wins this.
Fauci, Walensky and this really creepy ghoul that is Biden's Covid Czar will never confront the totality of what they've done as they continue to double down. They will forever live in the Washington/Big Pharma revolving door bubble of wealth and adulation. No "dark night of the soul" for them. Great insight and engaging prose Mark. Reminds me of George Will's writing during the Reagan years. I hope a book is in the works.
I used to get angry w these people. Now, I just laugh, cuz they are like a Three Stooges movie. They're getting more ridiculous, by the day, w all their made-up interventions. Triple shots, double-masked, a negative test and six feet apart, facing away from everyone... just to go into a restaurant or a concert?? 🤡🤡
We are not people to them. We don't matter because we are not real. The unwashed masses. We serve their coffee, transport their food, design their cars, run their restaurants, sell them their clothes, phones and jewelry. A faceless, nameless, servant class no different to them than beasts of burden. Do we have names? We don't need names. We need to serve, take our medicines and quietly die. Another nameless cogg will seamlessly fill our shoes.
I seem to vaguely remember this film from my kiddo years ! Love Jimmy Stewart. Great article. Beautiful comparison. I have a friend who tends to say "there is a special place in hell for people like this". I truly hope she is right.
Another great one Mark! I look forward to the day when I can revisit this and the rest your great writing past and future when you publish your magnum opus.
To your sad conclusion…does anyone doubt there are screenwriters pitching heroic treatments for various dramas as we speak? Or that Brad Pitt is any less enthusiastic to play the diminutive fraud at the epicenter of this human caused disaster?

I think this is part of what's going on:

A nice title would be: It's a Totalitarian Life

Awesome juxtaposition there, Mark!

Only when these demons are arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced will the world rest. Until then---never ever TRUST your government.

so very true and puts the scope of context on just what happened and continues too!

Very good article.
Love the remake idea. Brilliant. Thank you!
