There’s something happening here
By Ned Cosby
“There’s something happening here; what it is ain’t exactly clear,†warned a rock band called Buffalo Springfield in 1967 in a song called For What It’s Worth. The song had a hypnotic and ominous melody critical of Uncle Sam and the Pentagon. That song suddenly seems relevant again.
In 1967, there was a growing suspicion in America that President Johnson hoodwinked our nation into fighting the communists in Vietnam. As more and more young Americans died far from home in Vietnam, anti-war sentiment grew and protests erupted across America. It was a very unsettling time in America.
Now America is in another unsettling time and again it feels like, “There’s something happening here; what it is ain’t exactly clear.†Back in 1967, most of the protestors came from the liberal end of our political spectrum. In 2021, when leftists burn American cities and topple the statues of American heroes, Speaker Pelosi calls it “people doing what people are going to do.†In 2021, when conservatives protest, it is called an insurrection.
There is a lot of “ain’t exactly clear†going on in 2021. Many question the fairness and outcome of the 2020 election. Many look at the COVID-19 pandemic and wonder if it was actually a biological attack from China aimed to destabilize the West and unseat China’s biggest critic, Donald Trump. Many wonder and worry about local governments’ heavy-handed restrictions in the name of combatting the pandemic.
