2021 U. S. Open Tennis Championships...ATP 2000...New York, New York
The draw has yet to be made. The qualifying rounds are being fought out as a prelim to the real thing. We know a couple of things as well. Like who is not going to be there. Number one is Roger Federer. Roger has been out of sight for much of the last two years yet he lingers in our memory as a wistful thought of the way things used to be. The Living Proof will always live on as will the memory of the game of tennis that was...the way it used to be. Rafael Nadal is absent as well and he will be missed in as sense as one of the only possible roadblocks to a Novak Djokovic Grand Slam. Serena and Venus Williams are not going to make it either and you can decide for yourself is that is a factor or not.
Things have changed over the past two "COVID" years as the authorities at large take massive steps in controlling the behaviour of the minions. First it was masks and when they found that people would wear masks without really knowing whether or not it protected them from the boogey man "COVID" they ramped it up to vaccines. They hit the motherlode of motherlode here with it now being possible to control a population of sheep to meekly roll up their sleeves to take the hit...not even knowing what they are being injected with.
On and on it goes. Evolving into something entirely different than what it was only a couple of years ago. Tennis too, is evolving in the same apparently controlled manner. Not evolving...more like engineering. Behaviour can be engineered...they actually have scientists that work on that sort of thing. It's a bit ironic that the morons go around saying "trust the science" when they have no idea what that means. Fyodor Dostoyevsky knew...way back in 1871.
"The Devils"...Fyodor Dostoyevsky 1871
"Not one people, he began, as though readng it line by line and at the same time continuing to look menacingly at Stavrogin-not one people has yet ordered its life in accordance with the principles of science and reason. There has never been one instance of it, except only for a moment, out of folly. Socialism is by its very nature bound to be atheistic because it has proclaimed from the very first that it is an atheistic institution and that it intends to organize itself exclusively on the principles of science and reason. Reason and science have always, today and from the very beginning of time, played a secondary and a subordinate part; and so they will to the end of time. Peoples are formed and moved by quite a different force, a force that dominates and exercises its authority over them, the origin of which, however, is unknown and inexplicable. That force is the force of an unquenchable desire to go on to the end and, at the same time, to deny the existence of an end. It is the force of an incessant and persistent affirmation of its existence and a denial of death. It is the spirit of life, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water, the running dry of which is threatened in Revelation. It is the aesthetic principle, as the philosophers call it, an ethical principle, with which they identify it, the seeking of God, as I call it much more simply. The purpose of the whole evolution of a nation, in every people and at every period of its existence, is solely the pursuit of God, their God, their very own God, and faith in Him as in the only true one. God is the synthetic personality of the whole people, taken from its beginning to its end. It has never happened that all of many peoples should have one common God, but every people has always had its own special one. The first sign of the decay of nations is when they begin to have common gods. When gods begin to be common gods, the gods die as well as the faith in them, together with the peoples themselves. The more powerful a nation, the more individual its god. There has never yet been a nation without a religion, that is to say, without the conception of good and evil and its own good and evil. When the conceptions of good and evil become general among many nations, then these nations begin to die out, and the very distinction between good and evil begins to get blurred and to vanish. Reason has never been able to define good and evil, or even to separate good from evil, not even approximately; on the contrary, it had always mixed them up in a most pitiful and disgraceful fashion; as for science, its solutions have always been based on brute force. This was particularly true of the half-science, that most terrible scourge of mankind, worse than pestilence, famine, or war, and quite unknown till our present century. Half-science is a depot such as has never been known before. A despot that has its own priests and slaves, a despot before whom everybody prostrates himself with love and superstitious dread, such as has been quite inconceivable till now, before whom science itself trembles and surrenders in a shameful way."
This is where we are at folks. Bowing to a half-science. The most terrible scourge of mankind. Read 'em and weep said the dealer to the players. Sure we have a U. S. Open this year...but the terrain is changing. Not so imperceptibly any longer. It is full on in your face...if you would only open your eyes.
