Is it possible that someone visiting a sanatorium often and spending time there, will catch the ongoing mental illness and become mad? Apparently, it is.
There is evidence to that
effect in the article that Victoria Coates has written under the title: “Biden
administration shouldn't be negotiating with Iranian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs (MFA,)” and the subtitle: “It should designate MFA as a Foreign
Terrorist Organization (FTO), using the facts.” The article was published on
February 23, 2021 in The Washington Times.
Considering that most of the
world and the majority of the American electorate have thought of the Donald
Trump administration as a madhouse, and considering that Victoria Coates is now
exhibiting signs of madness, it stands to reason that she caught the mental
illness by frequenting the White House. The alternative to this deduction is to
think that Trump's residence and workplace was sane till Victoria Coates
started to visit the building where she was supposed to do work, and perhaps
play political games too.
Whatever Victoria Coates was
doing, she could have transmitted the disease to the other dwellers,
effectively turning the White House into a real Madhouse. But, like the saying
goes, where's the beef? The answer to that question is to be found in the
following condensed passage, excerpted from Coates's article:
“Recent reports reveal that
Obama administration officials worked actively to preserve the Obama nuclear
deal. On three occasions, John Kerry met with Javed Zarif to persuade him to
keep the deal on life support so a future Democrat administration could return
to compliance with it. Now that Joe Biden is in office, the new administration
needs to understand the region in 2021 is not what it was when the deal was
struck in 2015. Rather than seeing things for what they were six years ago;
they may want to engage in a reality check before entering into any
agreements”.
So, the first thing that
Victoria Coates wants to do now, is tell the Biden administration that things
are so different today from what they were six years ago, what was kosher then
is no longer kosher today because things have changed much –– and changed for
the worse. She adds: And if you don't believe me, Mr. President, consider that
those of us who worked for Donald Trump have been saying all along that the
nuclear deal was so bad, it should never have been negotiated. However, when
proven wrong by a situation that was made worse by our actions, we recognized
that we spread falsehoods over many years. And this should be your proof that
we are correct now in saying that what was good then, is no good today.
In other words, she is saying:
“What we did yesterday was so bad, it made matters worse. To fix things, we
must not stop doing what we used to do, but must continue doing it.” And if
this is not enough to convince you, dear reader, that the woman is a nutcase,
look what else she has written to buttress the argument that things are worse
today than they were before Donald Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal. In
fact, not only did Trump do that, as she admits, he also instituted the
infamous maximum pressure campaign against Iran. Here is an abbreviated passage
of what Victoria Coates wrote in this regard:
“Decision-makers in the
Iranian regime have aggressively ramped up terrorist activities in recent
years. In 2019, the Trump administration listed the Iranian Islamic
Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, the first time
the US had so sanctioned an official foreign military. The February 16, 2021
attack on the International Airport in Erbil, as well as subsequent attacks on
Balad Air base in Erbil and on our Embassy in Baghdad, are a deliberate
escalation of IRGC terrorist activities”.
She is here admitting that
Donald Trump's policies have backfired, making things worse than they were
before. So then, what does she recommend? Believe it or not, her wacky logic
has led her to recommend with a straight face, that the Biden administration
should refrain from returning to the nuclear deal.
Having seen and studied all of
that, is there anything in Victoria Coates's article that suggests what it is
that sends some people so far off the mark, they are considered crazy to a
dangerous level? The answer is, yes there is. To see it, consider this excerpt:
“There is pressure on the new
administration to remove the IRGC from the FTO list as an incentive to bring
Iran to the negotiating table. However, taking this step would only reward and
incentivize more terrorism”.
Looking at the low intensity
war that's ongoing between America and Iran, sane people see a kind of symmetry
between the two combatants. They may be unequal when it comes to military
strength, but each has the same rights and obligations under the rules of
warfare.
But this is not how the
crazies see things. It is that they have been indoctrinated in the belief that,
“when we fight them, we engage in legitimate warfare. When they respond, they
engage in illegitimate terrorism”.
This says that indoctrination
has bifurcated the logic capability of these people. When they see two
individuals fight –– one they like and one they don’t –– they do not see two
humans. They see one human fighting something, perhaps a subhuman.
It must be said this is a
doctrine that was injected into the American culture of equality and
meritocracy by the Judeo-Yiddish culture of exclusiveness. The reality is that
the Americans no longer see each other as indivisible, and going through life
on a single track.
Rather, the Americans see life
rolling on two tracks: There is the track on which I, and my kind travel. And
there is the track on which my enemies travel.
What they do not see is the abyss at the end of the track they are on.
