The Night the Lights Went Out in Moore County

 Last weekend, a couple of electrical substations in Moore County, North Carolina were sabotaged in a coordinated firearms attack that plunged Pinehurst and Southern Pines into darkness for several days.  In the days leading up to the attack, residents had been protesting a drag queen event at the local theater.

The attack left thousands without power for days, induced a curfew and caused quite a stir, but I’m as interested in the response to the incident as the incident itself. 

Without a shred of evidence, Twitter was flooded with posts blaming the attack on the extreme right and painting the area as racist, homophobic, and redneck. 

“As a former Moore County resident, the extremism broiling in that small area is very Concerning.”

“The community knows why this happened.”

“F**k those terrorists and f**k everyone who has fueled anti-LGBTQ hate.”

Never mind that within days, there were attacks on substations in Oregon and Washington and documented “intrustions” into substations in Florida.  It’s as if these people learned nothing from the Jussie Smollett and Bubba Wallace “nooses” or “hands up don’t shoot.”  They so desperately want the narrative to be true, they don’t wait for facts to come in.  Or they invent facts.  The whole incident overlooks the fact that people in a community have every right to protest a drag show and complain about the event on the main commercial strip in their town.

In the same week, we learned that there is a warrant out for the arrest of Sam Brinton, the freaky, flamboyant LGBTQ undersecretary of energy tin charge of nuclear waste disposal and also attests to the fact that his non-binary partner and he are “animal play enthusiasts.”  Call me an extremist, but I prefer to have the person in charge of the disposal of nuclear materials to be a deadly serious person with no badges of mental health issues or propensity to engage in criminal behavior.   Brinton evidently has a habit of swiping other peoples’ luggage from airport carousels along with jewels.

So far, the Biden administration has resisted demands for his firing.

In Chicago, Project Veritas caught a dean at Chicago’s highbrow Francis Parker High School boasting about how much he enjoyed passing around sex toys in their sex ed class and explaining how they worked during Pride Week, igniting a firestorm on Twitter and featured on Sean Hannity.  As in the Moore County incident, it was the response of the school that was most disturbing.  Instead of relieving this gent of his duties, the president of the school went on the attack, claiming that “far right”  Project Veritas “misrepresented” the conversation and edited the tape.   Apparently, if you use the word “inclusive” in your response, it grants a license to engage in any kind of depravity with minors.

To finish the week, the Biden administration swapped notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout with America hating WNBA star Britney Griner.  I did not revel in her harsh penalty despite her flouting her contempt for this country.  But the swap echoed of the Bowie Bergdahl trade in which Obama swapped 5 Taliban killers for traitor Bergdahl.   The Taliban immediately put these guys back into circulation.  Worse, NBC reported that the administration could have had the release of Marine Paul Whelan instead.  Griner’s release will undoubtedly cost lives as Bout will be back in business shortly.

These incidents are not independent events and  demonstrate a real and troubling pattern.  Under the guise of LGBT rights, and  “tolerance” institutions are advancing an agenda that has insidious aspects to it.  First, it grants a hall pass with alphabet sexuality.   That Brinton hasn’t been fired for criminal activity is appalling.   In the case of the dean at Francis Parker, the school backed his highly inappropriate course and instead railed against objecting parents and Project Veritas.    Second, as we’ve seen in the Francis Parker incident and many others,  the movement uses the pretext of sex ed to start to normalize pedophilia.   Schools are making sexually charged materials available to minors, not to mention pushing transgenderism.  Third, even where there is no connection as in the attack on the substations in North Carolina, the movement is quick to demonize objectors as “haters” and anti-LGBT bigots.   If you object to explicit sexual materials in middle school libraries, the screech “book banner!” They have learned from the BLM movement that it works.  In the Griner case, it has demonstrated that the life of Griner (who is gay) trumps the lives of others that will almost certainly die as a consequence of the release of Viktor Bout.  We just don’t know who they are or how many there will be yet.

There are some very insidious aspects to this movement and conservatives must be steadfast in their opposition to them.   Their weapons are formidable. The goal is to divide the community over these issues, and so far they are winning.
