The Dunning-Kruger effect on an actual MAJestic disclosure.

Many drive-by visitors to Metallicman often raise their noses and proclaim “I’ve seen it all before”, and then leave. They don’t stick around and really study what is being presents. They just assume that it’s just another ‘same old”, “same old”, and thus not worthy of their time.

A lesser person might be upset.

But I know, and most long time MM readers know, that this is all an illusion.

The people who come and stay are here for the content, and the juicy nuggets of gold that you won’t find anywhere else.

Arthur Schopenhauer famously observed that talent hits a target that no one else can hit, but genius hits a target that no one else can see.

We now know that, through the Dunning-Kruger effect, each of us is limited by cognition: anything more complex than our minds can grasp appears as ludicrous bizarre gibberish to us.

Let. That. Sink. In.

Can you fly a “Frisbee”? If not, then why?

Knowledge and skills are learned. And that includes the ability to reason, to plan, and to sort things out.

This creates a framework of genius as that which notices the obvious but ignored. As explained in the biography of a famous gun designer, high cognitive ability seems mystifying until the results are seen:

It is often said in the industry that small arms now are designed by committee. But the design process will always need that one unique person, the imaginative individual with a new way of looking at a problem. 

Eugene Stoner was the man with the ideas who passed them on to the design committees. According to a long-time friend and colleague, Stoner was “the master of the obvious”. “When he came up with an idea you would ask yourself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ But you didn’t.”

Most people cannot see genius.

To them, it appears as an oddity, something incomprehensible, and when it succeeds, they hate it. The last three centuries in the West have been a rebellion against genius, replacing it with inferior substitutes like navel-gazing novels, pop culture, and modern art.

Face it.

People who have genius capability are shunned and thwarted in society.

Yet, early on, Western Civilization succeeded because it embraced genius. Under the kings, those of great potential were subsidized so that all could enjoy their insights.

Not so today.

Under democracy, they are treated with suspicion and thrust into the workforce, where they often flounder.  Individual genius is a fast train ticket to oblivion and poverty.

If we are to rise again, much of our focus must be on finding good people instead of trying to regulate mediocre people with complex systems in the Asiatic model. In the meantime, it helps to recognize that genius is most commonly unrecognized except by those on its level.

The Dunning-Kruger effect

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a hypothetical cognitive bias stating that people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. As described by social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the bias results from an internal illusion in people of low ability and from an external misperception in people of high ability; that is, "the miscalibration of the incompetent stems from an error about the self, whereas the miscalibration of the highly competent stems from an error about others". It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from people's inability to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their level of competence.

-Wikipedia

The Dunning-Kruger effect states that incompetent people are also incompetent in assessing their own performance.

Let. That. Sink. In.

Therefore, less competent people think their performance is competent, while smarter people focus on their own flaws.

It explains, among other things, how in a society that places too much value on image, idiots and insane people are able to get ahead by overestimating their value and getting fools to agree with them.

The essence of the Dunning-Kruger effect is that “ignorance more frequently begets confidence than knowledge.” 

Studies have shown that the most incompetent individuals are the ones that are most convinced of their competence.

At work this translates into lots of incompetent people who think they are superstars.

And what is worse is that if you have a manager that doesn’t closely supervise work, he or she may judge performance based on outward appearances using information like the confidence with which these incompetent blockheads speak.
An important corollary of this effect is that the most competent people often underestimate their competence. 

This is a result of how you frame knowledge.

The more you know, the more you focus on what you don’t know. For instance, people who can name 15 of the 50 state capitals tend to think “I know 15.” People who know 45 of the 50 state capitals tend to think “I don’t know 5.”1

Dunning and Kruger, two researchers at Cornell University, described their findings in a paper entitled “Unskilled and Unaware Of It: How Difficulties In Recognising Ones Own Incompetence Lead To Inflated Self-Assessments” in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

Their conclusions can be summarized this way:

Incompetent individuals…

  1. Tend to overestimate their own level of skill,
  2. Fail to recognize genuine skill in others,
  3. Fail to recognize the extremity of their inadequacy,
  4. If they can be trained to substantially improve their own skill level, these individuals can recognize and acknowledge their own previous lack of skill.
Translation: 
Without leadership at the top of the curve who is willing to call people on their incompetence, the incompetents will appear competent to other incompetents and be advanced, possibly even to the presidency.

This causes a mathematical problem for democracies since most people are not particularly competent at leadership, government or logical argument, meaning they are both unable to assess the best leadership choices and sure that they’re right.

It’s essentially similar to the Downing effect:

One of the main effects of illusory superiority in IQ is the Downing effect. This describes the tendency of people with a below average IQ to overestimate their IQ, and of people with an above average IQ to underestimate their IQ. 

The propensity to predictably misjudge one’s own IQ was first noted by C. L. Downing who conducted the first cross-cultural studies on perceived ‘intelligence’.
His studies also evidenced that the ability to accurately estimate others’ IQ was proportional to one’s own IQ. This means that the lower the IQ of an individual, the less capable they are of appreciating and accurately appraising others’ IQ. Therefore individuals with a lower IQ are more likely to rate themselves as having a higher IQ than those around them. Conversely, people with a higher IQ, while better at appraising others’ IQ overall, are still likely to rate people of similar IQ as themselves as having higher IQs.
The disparity between actual IQ and perceived IQ has also been noted between genders by British psychologist Adrian Furnham, in whose work there was a suggestion that, on average, men are more likely to overestimate their intelligence by 5 points, while women are more likely to underestimate their IQ by a similar margin.2

That tendency could go a long way toward explaining why many successful societies have relied on strong leaders who had no problem beating down the incompetent with force.

Unless suppressed, the 90% of humanity who per the “Bell Curve” are unskilled and unaware of it will take over and, being incompetent, run society into the ground.

In addition, while people can be taught specific tasks, they cannot be taught to reason in general; education does not raise IQ and in the process of trying, becomes dumbed-down to the point where no one intelligent will get any benefit from it, which discriminates against the intelligent.

Conclusion

The conclusion is obvious.

When you combine the Bell Curve, the Dunning-Kruger and Downing effects, and the natural tendency of human beings to compromise, you have a working explanation why human societies inevitably begin the pursuit of a “race to the bottom” once they become powerful enough to stop losing so many people to natural events, disease and war.

A case in point is the United States…

You do know that in the movie “Idiocracity”, all Starbucks coffee comes with a “full release”. LOL.

Lessons from the Gulag. How to prepare yourself for the next set of progressive Marxist improvements in America.

Well, America is in a process of change. And it is happening, though it is not being reported. Both the alt-Left and the alt-Right are silent on what is actually going on. The American people are being kept ignorant. But you can rest assured that changes are in process. Pieces are moving into place, and not a peep is being reported to anyone.

Things are occurring.

They are not being reported.

Do not be under the impression that it’s all part of [1] the COVID-19 vaccination issue, [2] the round-up of the participants in the White House Riots, or [3] the moves towards diversity, reparations, or [4] any such quasi-political posturing. Those are nice distractions that the “news” likes to take issue about.

Nothing is being reported. Secrets and orders are being carried out in isolation, by trusted operatives, and done in absolute secrecy. You can guarantee that.

Instead, other things are being “reported” in the American “news”. It’s just one distraction after the other. Hey! How’s all that 5G “brain damage” working out, or those dangerous giant zombie killer hornets (from China)? How has the “news” about this improved our life?

The dangerous giant zombie killer hornets (from China).
Watch out for the dangerous giant zombie killer hornets (from China – don’t you know!).

The New Chinese Year of the Bull starts this evening.

And all of China is subdued.

Part of it is because after last year (2020) most people are cautiously guarded. (Which I think is pretty much the same all over the world). But also because of the risk of war (from the United States and the Quad). The USA, even though Biden is President, is still sending military weapons, equipment and a presence to sit off the coast of China and threaten. And that is what it is. Don’t you know.

They sit there and threaten.

Not for “democracy”.

But to appease the wealthy oligarchy cluster (inside the American military Empire) that Biden will not stop the anti-China narrative. You know, a target; a scapegoat, a “evil” must be identified so that the military war machine can gear into action!

Whoosh!

But really the silence is deafening. Why? Well, for the first time in all of Chinese history, fireworks have been banned. Which makes a very quiet holiday, I’ll tell you what.

We put up our yearly door decorations, and bought some food for the holiday. We’ve got a lot of booze, fine delicious food, and plenty of snacks. But, unlike other years, this year we won’t be off going to a ton load of parties.

Unfortunately.

Door decorations.
MM’s yearly door decorations are up for the new year.

.

There’s a heightened sense of awareness regarding biological weapons (after what happened last year) has got the inspectors running overtime. They are on a ruthless search and destroy mission to catch the (still officially unnamed) COVID-20 and COVID-21 bio-weapons. The ones released in the fall of last year by a very vindictive President Trump. And the Chinese government has taken action in Beijing and Hong Kong regarding the strange appearances of these bio-weapons.

The virus kit now has throat testing for COVID-19 and anal swabs for COVID-20 and COVID-21. Which is making it rather uncomfortable and unpleasant. But (after all) no one really wants to die by vomiting or diarrhea. So you take the exam lying down. Well, actually, on your side. And you allow the masked and garbed medical professional to shove a long cotton swab in your anus and swirl it around about ten times. They do this twice, you know.

Any ways, it’s really making this CNY feel awfully strange and odd.

Just a reminder.

COVID-20 Unusually huge sized virus. Swine-based. Human-transmission. Lethal. Causes death by vomiting. Discovered in a Beijing "wet market" within weeks of the Huge Trump-led US Navy Armada sailing home without a military confrontation. When the PLA discovered the virus, President Trump went into a three day "retreat" causing the USA military to go DEFCON ONE. The cover story was that he had the Coronavirus. 

COVID-21 Unusually huge sized virus. Tick-based. Human-transmission. Lethal. Causes death by diarrhea. Discovered in Beijing in October right before the US Presidential Election.

The military are out.

Not as a show of force or intimidation. Not for “riots” or any such nonsense, but because China is back at DEFCON ONE. And you can see the military manning their stations. Here’s a picture at the local mall about a fifteen minute walk from my house.

Nothing of concern, mind you. They are just manning their stations.

Chinese military in staged locations.
The Chinese military are all at DEFCON ONE. To translate to the Alt-Right in the audience; “The ChiCom PLA is in full force oppressing the people again.”

.

Usually, it’s a time of “the great migration”, or when everyone goes back home for a month long orgy of eating, drinking, and drinking, and drinking and more eating.

Not this year though.

Everyone is asked to stay home. The local villages have gone door to door asking everyone to tell their relatives to stay put. And bigger cities, like mine, is giving people money to spend at the stores and restaurants to help with the unexpected deviance from tradition.

Now, people ARE having parties, dinners and going out. Just not in their home-towns, and in much smaller and subdued groups.

CNY food and drink.
Chinese New Year is when you go out and drink, and drink, and socialize and eat and eat and eat.

.

And while all this is going on…

… a very quiet time on the Chinese home-front.

The Chinese military are conducting joint Naval and missile test runs with the Russians and the Iranians. These latest exercises are much bigger and more involved than the earlier ones. And the US department of the Navy has sent a few more Assault Carrier battle groups to China... you know…

…”for democracy“.

What is all this delicious "democracy" that I keep hearing about? It must be something wonderful and great. It has to be, don't you know, for America to spend trillions of dollars destroying a third of the world for it's survival.

I guess that none of you all realized that this was going on, eh?

Meanwhile, most “normal” and regular folk are having meals with their families. They are all happy affairs, and look sort of like this…

CNY meal.
Typical CNY meal in China.

.

Not what you would see in an American “Chinese Restaurant” eh?… That’s because what most food in an American-Chinese restaurant are Americanized versions of Chinese food. And it’s sort of the “fast food” version of actual Chinese food.

It’s equivalent to thinking that a McDonald’s “hamburger” is “authentic” American dinner food.

Hamburger
Thinking that a “Chinese Restaurant” in America serves “real and authentic” Chinese food is to think that a McDonald’s hamburger is what a “real” American dinner looks like. While I am sure that (judging from photos of Walt-mart shoppers) that this might be the case, you and I sure as heck knows that it’s not a “real” hamburger.

.

But back to my rant…

Oh, yeah.

Sorry about the food digression. I’m talking about the digression of CNY, and how it is muted because of the Coronavirus, the vomiting-to-death virus, and the Beijing tick virus.

BTW... Did you know that there were ticks in Beijing? I didn't. It's too cold and dry, and dusty for them to live. So the ticks must be a hardy species indeed. Wouldn't you think. That is why they have to use remote-controlled drones to spray human-transmissible tick viruses over the populated Northern cities of China.

(Forehead slap!)

I wonder how America would do if some nation decides to conduct this exact same activity on New York, Chicago or Houston? At the rate America is playing with "fire", it might be a good idea to maintain strong bio-weapon discipline and preventative measures as a matter of habit.

Have you ever watched a magician perform a magic trick? One hand is doing the secret activity, while the other hand is involved in the big deception.

All by the American “news”. Hey! What’s in the “news” today, eh?

You all shouldn’t get too riled up about all this. The big build-up is gearing towards Russia. After all, America needs China to keep supplying the parts, materials and electronics for it’s fighter planes and expensive weapons systems.

The hate-narrative is building up against Russia…

What else is new? Eh?

Just like Ancient Rome that HAD to continually right on the outskirts of the empire and "defeat the barbarians at the gates", America must constantly fight against, terror, hunger, obesity, poverty, communism, and everything else it can find...

...for "democracy!"

…now those dirty commies are putting bounties on killing Americans. How dare they! Stinkin’ dirty commies!

All this nonsense is nauseating.

But it’s a new year; the year of the Bull, and it’s gonna be real exciting.

Fish meal.
Hunan style fish.

.

But it’s the world we live in.

Right now. Anyways.

The people running the levels of control of America (and Britain) are a tad crazy. And I need to remind everyone of this, because you aren’t watching how the rest of the world are reacting to the craziness that America is today.

I have to show it to you all in a very elementary form.

You know. Something like this…

Yep. Read and learn.

.

Now, if I were in the USA I would lie low and make sure that I knew my neighbors really, really well. You all need a true and real sense of unity during times of high stress and upheaval.

I am not advocating armed rebellion.

But rather a way of connecting with friends and family, and a serious decline in the social networks and communication screed that passes for modern American communication these days. Get back to your roots and help each other. If you try to be the “lone wolf” you will end up…

…being alone.

Work together.
Work together with friends and family.

.

And while President Biden is trying to put a “adult in the room ” aura don’t let that fool you. There are elements in government that are working hand-in-hand, and behind the curtain, to force some changes that many people will be very uncomfortable with.

Only this time…

…well…

…those in government are smarter and better prepared to implement the changes that they desire.

Modern America.
Whether you are a drug dealer, a sexual deviant, a LGBT hater, a member of a “hate” group, a tax cheat, or any other of the millions of titles that they use to justify… they can seize everything you own, destroy your life, and send you to the lowest social classes from whence you will die.

.

You know, as someone who actually lives inside a communist country, I can tell you first hand that the rap it gets has little in common with the actual reality. Don’t fear what you do not understand, and please be more understanding of those who hold different views from you.

Now…

That being said, do not turn a blind eye to history. There are some very evil people out there. many of whom prefer to dwell around large urban areas. You know the places, like Washington DC, New York City and Chicago. And they are capable of really taking a wrecking ball to your life. So you need to be alert.

And speaking about changes…

…maybe a review of some history might be in order.

The following is an article titled “46 things I learned from being gulaged Varlam Shalamov spent much of the period from 1937 to 1951 gulaged in the arctic cold of Kolyma. These are the 46 things he learned from the experience”. It was written on January 15, 2020, and described the life inside a Gulag camp in the former Soviet Union. Reprinted as found with notations as shown. All credit to the source and the author.

46 things I learned from being gulaged – Varlam Shalamov

Varlam Shalamov after his first arrest, 1929.

.

Varlam Tikhonovich Shalamov (June 18, 1907 – January 17, 1982) was a Russian writer, journalist, poet and Gulag survivor. He spent 15 years enslaved in Soviet gulags — six of them in the gold mines in the bitter arctic cold of Kolyma — due in part to having supported Leon Trotsky and praised the anti-Soviet writer Ivan Bunin.

One of Shalamov’s surviving writings is a 1961 list of 46 things he learned from his gulag experience.

You will benefit the most from it by already knowing the basics about these slave camps which worked many inmates to death (and in some cases even forced the slaves to eat each other).

The essay was translated by Dmitry Subbotin and Robert Denis, and editorial additions are marked in bracketed italics.

What I Saw and Learned in the Kolyma Camps

1. The extraordinary fragility of human nature, of civilization. A human being would turn into a beast after three weeks of hard work, cold, starvation and beatings. [People can easily turn feral. Do not be under the illusion that we (as humans) are beyond our base natures.]

2. The cold was the principal means of corrupting the soul; in the Central Asian camps people must have held out longer — it was warmer there. [Humans can survive in warmer weather, but colder weather will absolutely kill you.]

3. Friendship and solidarity never arise in difficult, truly severe conditions — when life is at stake. Friendship arises in difficult but bearable conditions (in the hospital, but not in the mine).

[ed: u/LevantineJR  had an interesting comment on this: 

“That this is less than a  universal, profound truth, has been demonstrated in the labour camps of  Imperial Japan during WW2, as recorded by company commander Ernest  Gordon in “Miracle on the River Kwai” a.k.a. “In the Valley of the Kwai”  (1963). 

It’d be very interesting and important to understand why  widespread solidarity appeared in the WW2 labour camps in Indochina  after a period of ~10 months, while in the GULAG it failed to appear for  years, or even decades. 

Harshness of conditions? The death rates in the  Japanese war labour camps were several times higher than in the GULAG.  So, the general harshness of conditions is ruled out. Nor could it be  simply culture or genes, because those very same inhabitants of Kolyma  created resistant collectives of solidarity in the Moscow prisons. 

Now,  what of a particular factor: cold? Plausible, I think. Shalamov may be  right that cold was an exceptionally strong, and a sort of a key  factor.”]

4. Spite is the last human emotion to survive. A starving man has only enough flesh to feel spite — he is indifferent to everything else.

5. The difference between prison and work camps. Prison strengthens character, and work camps, corrupt the human soul.

In America you can see the difference.

In Pennsylvania, the purpose of prison is to rehabilitate. So Prisons are designed to help people correct their behaviors.

In Arkansas, the purpose of prison is to punish. So all prisons are hard-labor work-camps. It is to make people fear the government and incarceration.

6. Organization is important in survival against an oppressive government. I learned that Stalin’s «triumphs» were possible because he slew innocent people: had there been an organized movement, even one-tenth in number, but organized, it would have swept Stalin away in two days.

7. Humans are resilient. I learned that humans became human because they are physically stronger, tougher than any animal — no horse endures work in the Far North.

8. You need faith, and belief in a higher purpose. I saw that the only group that retained a bit of their humanity, despite the starvation and abuse, were the religious, the sectarians, almost all of them — and the majority of the priests.

9. The easiest to corrupt are those in government. The first ones to be corrupted, the most susceptible, are the party members and military men.

10. People who have never been exposed to raw force, and who expected to debate were often surprised how serious, and how quickly events can go from “neutral” to “hot”. I saw what a forcible argument a simple slap could be for an intellectual.

11. You start to rate people by their ability to be brutal. That people distinguish between camp chiefs according to the power of their punches, to their enthusiasm for beatings.

12. A beating is almost irresistible as an argument («Method number three»).

13. Show Trials was how everything was actually run in the DOJ. I learned the truth about the preparations for the cryptic trials [ed: the show trials of the Great Terror of 1937] from masters of the craft.

14. The “grapevine” is real. I learned why in prison you get political news (arrests, etc.) sooner than on the outside.

15. Rumors always had a basis on reality. That prison (and camp) rumours [ed: known in Russian prison slang as parasha — “the slop bucket”] always turn out to be anything but slop.

16. I learned that one can live on spite alone.

17. I learned that one can live on indifference.

18. Hope is bleached from your life. I learned why a man lives neither on hope — there are no hopes at all, nor on will — what will?, but only on the instinct of self-preservation, the same as a tree, a rock, an animal.

19. Don’t stick out. You become a target. I’m proud that at the very beginning, back in 1937, I decided to never become a foreman if my decision could lead to another man’s death, if my will would be forced to serve the authorities oppressing other people, prisoners like myself.

20. My body and spirit proved to be stronger in this great trial than I thought, and I am proud to have betrayed no one, to have sent no one to death nor to the camp, to have denounced no one.

21. It’s easy to give in and sign “the papers” showing your guilt. I’m proud to have made no requests until 1955.

[ed: In 1955 Shalamov made a request for rehabilitation].

22. Bad people are terrible and awesome in their evil. I saw the so called «Beria amnesty» there and then — it was something to see.

[ed: Lavrentiy Beria  was one of Stalin’s henchmen

He was a serial rapist and mass murderer who  was responsible for, among other things, coming up with the idea for and  then carrying out the execution of all of the Soviet Union’s 22,000  Polish prisoners (the Katyn massacre).  

Shalamov’s “Beria amnesty” is a reference to when Beria released a  large number of criminal class gulag prisoners as a political play that backfired on him.]

23. I saw that women are more honest and selfless than men — there was not a single husband at Kolyma who came after his wife. But wives did come; many did (Faina Rabinovitch, Krivoshey’s wife) [ed: See Shalamov’s Green attorney].

24. People still held on to their roles within families. I saw the amazing northerner families (civilians, former prisoners) with their letters to their «lawful husbands and wives» etc.

25. The Wealthy did terrible things to become rich. I saw «the first Soviet Rockefellers», underground millionaires, and heard their confessions.

26. Political prisoners suffered the harshest punishments. If your ideology did not match that of the people running the government, then run for your lives. I saw the hard laborers, and also the large E and B contingents, the Berlag camp.

[ed:  Berlag, or Beregovoy Camp Directorate, Special Camp No. 5, was an MVD  special camp. These were camps established exclusively for political  prisoners convicted according to the more severe sub-articles of Article 58  (enemies of the people). Wrote Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in The Gulag  Archipelago: “There is no step, thought, action, or lack of action under  the heavens which could not be punished by the heavy hand of Article  58.”]

27. There are tradeoffs to everything you do. I learned that one can achieve a lot (a hospital, a work transfer), but at the risk of life — at the cost of a beating and the isolation cell cold.

28. Cells some in different shapes and sizes. All are unpleasant. I saw an isolation cell carved out in rock, and spent one night in it myself.

29. Power is seductive, and entraps everyone. The lust for power, for unpunished murder is great — from big shots down to regular police operatives with rifles (Seroshapka [ed: See Shalamov’s Berries] and his ilk).

30. To protect yourself, you learn to rat-out others, anyone else, just to survive. I learned the unrestrained Russian lust to denounce, to complain.

31. There are no “good” and “bad” people. I learned that world should be divided not into good and bad people but into cowards and non-cowards. 95% of cowards are capable of any meanness, lethal meanness, after light threatening.

32. Prison and work camps do not improve anyone. It’s all a corrupt system of suppression. I am convinced: the camp is a negative experience — entirely. If one spent but an hour there — it would be an hour of moral corruption. The camp has never given anything to anyone — and never could. Everyone, both prisoners and civilians, are corrupted by the camp.

33. Work and “rehabilitation” camps were everywhere, just not advertised to the public. In every region there was a work camp, there was one at every major construction site. Millions, tens of millions of prisoners.

[ed:  Estimations of gulag slaves between 1928/9 and 1953 (earlier gulag  stats much harder to analyze) range from 14 to 25 million. This number  excludes the millions who were “internally exiled” to the wilds or just  outright murdered.]

34. A corrupt government leadership corrupts everything. Repressions touched not only the ruling elite but all levels of society — in every village, at every plant, in every family either relatives or friends were repressed.

35. Being helpful to others provides inner peace. I consider the best time of my life to be the months spent in the cell of Butyrki prison, where I managed to strengthen the spirit of those who were weak and where everyone spoke freely.

36. Live day to day, in the “now”. I learned to «plan» one day ahead, no further.

37. Bosses become a different kind of animal. I learned that kingpins are not human.

38. Everyone becomes equal in a work camp. That there are no criminals at the camp, there are your present (and future) neighbors caught behind the line of the law and not those who crossed it.

39. Being a thief is a survival skill. I learned how terrible the ego of a boy, of a youth is: better steal than ask. This and their boasting throws youth to the bottom.

40. When you are isolated away from women, you don’t enjoy their pleasures. Women didn’t play a big role in my life — camp is the reason.

41. Character discernment is useless. The discernment of character is a useless ability — I am unable to change my ways for any scum that comes along.

42. Avoid being the last. The last in the row, which are hated by everyone — by guards and inmates alike — are those dropping behind, the sick, the weak, those incapable of running in the cold.

43. Power comes from a gun. I learned what power is and what a man with a gun means.

44. The balance of justice shifts in a work camp. That the scale is shifted, and this is what is most typical in a work camp.

45. Returning to civilian life is difficult. That passing from a prisoner condition to civilian is very hard, and nearly impossible without a long adaptation period. [It took me about three weeks to get used to soft chairs, commodes with seats, electrical wall outlets, and being able to go outside at will. Not to mention being able to taste salt and sugar, and seasonings. Cheese, butter, and fruit are all glorious.]

Conclusions

Yeah. It’s an interesting piece of history. I think that it gives us an insight into our human nature. Now, let’s all pray that the conditions for mass enslavement of citizens is never replicated ever again. But, let’s be real. OK?

It can.

All it takes is a national leadership that wants to do this (for their own purposes) and an ineffectual department of Justice, and a complete lack (or omission) of leadership policing organizations.

Meanwhile…

Here in China it’s a new year. It’s 2021 and it’s the year of the Bull. Most people are optimistic, even though they are cautiously guarded.

For a while I used to get a new coffee mug at every New Year. It was my little pleasure; to have a new coffee mug to drink out of each year. Unfortunately I feel out of the habit. But that is neither good nor bad. It’s just a sign of change… and a sign of change tends to indicate growth.

Here’s some pictures from my friends. Taken as a whole it might give you all a “flavor” as to what this very strange and odd year of the Bull is starting out as…

Geng Bei and a glass of wine.
Typical. Wine to drink. The Chinese do not daintily sip wine slowly. They drink entire glasses in one singular gulp. Like this gal is doing. She announces “Geng Bei” and empties the entire glass. This picture is a sign of respect to the new in-coming year. It means “I salute your arrival”.

.

Seems strange? Yeah. But it’s a different culture. They aren’t afraid of losing their jobs for drinking wine on their holidays (like I was threatened at General Motors, Delco Electronic, and Poulan Weed-Eater.) And so, living without fear of “consequences” enables people to live life freely.

It’s called “freedom”. You all should try it some time.

Red envelopes 1.
Red envelopes. In the Chinese New Year, everyone gives each other “Red Envelopes” full of money. This is instead of presents. There are all sorts of rules regarding it. And they differ from region to region. In general, families pass money back and forth easily, and the kids make out like bandits. Young boys buy toy guns, and games. Young girls buy dolls, APPs and some trinkets.

.

This shows what it is like to get a “red envelope” from a brother or sister. Or perhaps a friend, or an uncle. It’s all very typical.

While I have discussed the enormous red envelopes that companies would give to their employees (in prior articles), this article is on a more personal basis. It’s about celebrating holidays with friends and family.

Thank you notes.
Red envelopes can come with notes and messages, or just be a thank you for business or friendship. We used to give out red envelopes to our mail mean (actually the UPS equivalent), the local BaoAn(s) which are the security guards to the complex, the management, and the janitorial staff.

.

Again. All this is very typical, and very normal. And isn’t at all being reported by the “informed news” out of America. Have you ever heard of FOX “news” reporting on the red envelopes in China? Have you ever heard Rush Limbaugh discuss it? What about Ellen DeGeneres?

Silence.

Crickets.

And yet some people have the nerve to think that they are well “informed” on the Geo-political issues of the day by listening to “American news”. Give me a break.

Chinese work bonuses.
Chinese companies process wads of cash to give out to their employees during CNY. All untaxed. All in hard cold cash. How about American and British companies? What do your end-of-year bonuses look like? Tell me about it.

.

yes.

Anyways, money is great, and we could all use more of it, don’t you know. But What I really like about the Chinese new year is all the eating and drinking. I just love food. Yes. It is true, I am a “foodie”, and who can blame me?

Shots of BaiJiu are the norm.

.

And here’s some more pictures of what is going on in China right now, today. Tell me about how CNN is reporting on it. Tell me about what Twitter, and Facebook has to say about it. Please give me insight in how you all can understand China by listening to MSNBC. I’d like to know.

A typical dinner.
A typical family gathering.

.

Almost like what you would see in the United States. Almost. Only here in China, the adults drink alcohol alongside with the children who drink whatever they want. Since there are no prohibitions (read LAWS) banning things, most children have the opportunity to drink with their parents, and can get exposed to alcohol very early age.

But…

They don’t drink because it is meaningless to them. it is something that ‘adults do”, and you all know that adults are ‘square” and not “hip” and “groovy”. So they tend not to become addicts.

A typical meal.
Another typical meal.

.

All this is what is happening right now. People are celebrating the end of 2020, the year of the rat, and welcoming in 2021, the year of the Bull. I pretty much assume that this is what was going on in America as well, though to different extent. And in a different manner.

As well as on a different date.

More typical meals.
Typical CNY and CNY eve meals.

.

It’s different and even shocking for most Americans. I think that this is because they don’t know what “freedom” is. They have been repeating the mantras for decades with no understanding, and when they see how other nations live, they become horrified.

“This can’t possibly be true!” They retort.

Everyone knows that….

Yeah.

“Everyone knows…”

Who told them?

Guess which nation this photograph was taken? American LGBT advertising for a “roommate” in Wal-Mart.

.

Sometimes the strange image out of America are just the “tip of the iceberg”, and are but distractions from the master hand-movements of the master deceptions made by the oligarchy? And if so…

…then…

Maybe Americans are already living in a nice Gulag already, but they don’t yet realize it.

That maybe it’s all just a matter of degree. Why construct work camps here and there? Why not turn the entire nation into one gigantic labor camp? Why not? When you can print unlimited money? Control the media, and have a forever-lock on the government, and can make rules and laws with no opposition,and not even follow “guidelines” let alone the “guaranteed” Rights…

…what’s stopping you?

A few warnings about what is happening from people who have been there, and see America through the lens of experience.

Yesterday, I published a post by a Hard-Right conservative Russian who had some dire warnings for America and Americans. I published it with some caveats, as some of his terminology was repugnant to my readership (and me). Never the less, if you distill everything, he had something good to say.

He said “Organize”.

Now, I took his article and massaged it with Metallic finesse. And I laid it all out that it is the PTB (sitting comfortably in their mansions) that are the enemy. They want us to fight among ourselves.

Don’t.

To which I (sort of) twisted his message. I said yes, we must organize. But, organize, on both sides. Come together on both sides. Fight against the common enemy the PTB that are causing all this turmoil in the first place.

And that was my message.

The way for humanity to get through this trying and difficult time is to work together and subdue the evil psychopaths that have hoarded all the gold and are using it to destroy humanity and remake it in THEIR image.

Well…

Now let’s give equal time to some words of wisdom from the Left. And yes, I’m going to twist this message in a metallic way as well…

“We Don’t Know How to Warn You Any Harder. America is Dying.”

The title for this comes from Umair Haque, who has seen what is happening here now in America, and warns that those who have seen the end result elsewhere first hand are being ignored. He is crying out to be heard.

We Don’t Know How to Warn You Any Harder. America is Dying.

We Survivors of Authoritarianism Have a Message America Needs to Hear: This is Exactly How it Happens, and It’s Happening Here.

We survivors of authoritarianism have a terrible, terrible foreboding, because we are experiencing something we should never do: deja vu. Our parents fled from collapsing societies to America. And here, now, in a grim and eerie repeat of history, we see the scenes of our childhoods played out all over again. Only now, in the land that we came to. We see the stories our parents recounted to us happening before our eyes, only this time, in the place they brought us to, to escape from all those horrors, abuses, and depredations.

We survivors are experiencing this terrible feeling of deja vu right now as a group, as a class. We talk about it, how eerie and grim this sense of deja vu is. It’s happening all over again! Do you remember this part of your childhood? When the armed men roamed the streets? When the secret police disappeared opponents? When the fascist masses united — and that was enough to destroy democracy for good? We talk about it, believe me — but you don’t hear it because we have no real voice. America’s pundits are named Chris and Jake and Tucker. They are not named Eduardo and Ravi and Xiao and Umair. But Chris and Jake and Tucker can’t help you now. They don’t know what the hell they’re dealing with. They literally have no idea because they have no experience whatsoever.

The only people who do right now in America are us survivors. Let me remind you, by the way, what happens we speak out: we lose whatever credibility and status we have. The moment I began to warn of this, I lost my column in HBR, my cable news appearances, and so forth. Don’t cry for me. Understand me, my friend, know me. If we had a voice, we survivors, we would be warning you as loudly and strongly as we possibly could.

All of us. We would say:

This is not a joke. This is not a drill. When we survivors of authoritarianism experience, as a group, a class, a cohort, something that we never, ever should — the horrific deja vu that the horrors of our childhoods, that our parents knew, are happening, all over again, here, something is much, much more wrong than you know.

This is what four more years looks like.

READ THE WHOLE THING. It may be the most important thing you read all day or all week or all month.

Consider just this one warning:

Why? They point to the complete breakdown of the rule of law. The rule of law only means something when an authoritarian can’t simply disappear people from the streets, ordering his paramilitary to do it, ignoring the constitution, discarding due process — with total impunity. But all that is exactly what Trump can do.

He now has the nascent powers of a Gaddafi or a Saddam. No, I’m not kidding. He doesn’t have the full powers, to be sure — but he certainly has the beginnings of them. Maybe he can’t have people tortured in jail yet — but he can have almost anyone he likes in America picked up and disappeared.

So how far away do you think even worse abuses of power are? When a tyrant can have almost anyone in a country they like disappeared, how far away do you really think torture is? Rape? Murder? I’m not being hyperbolic. I’m trying to speak to you like an adult. Will you listen?

Those words take on real urgency when you see something like this coming from the Trump administration.

Via Talking Points Memo:

Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf stated that the Justice Department is looking into arresting leaders of Black Lives Matter (BLM) amid protests over the shooting of Jacob Blake by police officer Rusten Sheskey.

“Do you think the Department of Homeland Security is getting the help it needs from the Justice Department?” Fox News host Tucker Carlson asked. “Why haven’t we seen the leaders of antifa and BLM arrested and charged for conspiracy under, say, [Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Law], like the heads of the mafia families were?”

“This is something I talked to the AG personally about and I know that they are working on it,” Wolf replied, referring to Attorney General Bill Barr.

The DHS chief also stated that the Justice Department is “targeting and investigating the head of these organizations, the individuals that are paying for these individuals to move across the country.”

Carlson pressed Wolf on why the “funders” of the anti-police brutality protests “haven’t been punished.”

“Again, I would say that again the Department of Justice, who has the lead in all of those investigations, are certainly moving as quickly as possible,” Wolf said.

There is no evidence that the protesters are being paid by BLM leaders or anyone else, for that matter, nor is there evidence that BLM is directly responsible for violence at the protests.

It can happen here. It IS happening here.

Conclusion

That was the Hard-Left message.

Both the Hard-Right and the Hard-Left narratives are dripping with emotion and angst. Both are yelling at Americans. Both are saying “Wake Up!” Things can go really, really bad.

The Hard-Right offered a solution; Organize.

The Hard-Left also offered a solution; Embrace democracy more.

Scene from Aliens. You need to know what you are dealing with before your rush in and try to improve upon it.

Hum. Do you see where I am going with this? Both sides are correct. Both sides see that there is a problem. Both sides are terrified with what might happen. Both sides are concerned and offer solutions. But what are they?

More democracy.

WTF?

What is going on.

In both cases the people on both sides of the political spectrum look at the same failed model for answers and solutions. They look towards “democracy” to be the savior in this issue and the means to stop this mess.

It's like sheep that are unhappy with their lot in life. They look at the field next door. They see the taller, and greener grass, and the the other sheep, and they want to revolt and be like that other farm. They want to exchange their shepherd for another shepherd.

Here’s a big secret for you all…

“Democracy” is NOT the answer.

All democracies turn into oligarchies. And oligarchies turn into military empires. With various political solutions cropping up from time to time.

It's pretty well discussed. You all should read the Federalist Papers. The founders of the United States pretty much laid all this out for everyone to see. No one listened, of course. But it is the historical record.

So what is the answer?

Well, if I were to wave a magic wand, and place an ideal governance upon the United States, the LAST thing that I would do is have a democracy.

Democracy is a failed model. It has an expiration date; a “half-life” before it devolves into something else.

No.

Democracy is the LAST thing that you want.

You want something else.

  • You want small government. That way it can be participative.
  • You want quick and responsive “feed back mechanisms” on the local level.
  • You want management by merit and ability.
  • You want rotating management with short terms of office.

Now, I can tell you what you do not want…

  • You don’t want the same system with different ideologies.
  • You don’t want a larger system.
  • You don’t want a bigger, more powerful system.
  • You don’t want a militarized system.

Now, China is doing it right. For how long is unknown. I do not know how long this current bout of Chinese governance will last for. But I do know that it shows the rest of the world that [1] things CAN be governed by merit over popularity. That [2] small levels of governance at the local level does work, and [3] that a policing mechanism for the leadership ranks (the Corruption Police) is necessary to control fraud.

So right now, in these early stages of the popular American revolt, everyone is thinking about changing the individuals and their party platforms that comprise the government. They are not talking about changing the way the government operates.

And they should.

Nothing will change otherwise.

If you want real change, real substantive change, then you need to nuke it all from orbit and start from scratch all over again.

Ripley meme.

Some things we can expect when the progressive Marxists take over America.

The progressive Marxists, that call the Democrat party their home, have pretty much saturated every government organization, institution and business in the United States. Since Obama was President, we have had all the Fortune Five Hundred companies hire expensive “diversity officers”, and the “Deep State” has relentlessly pushed progressive Marxism at all levels. It’s only a few short years away from when they will regain the totality of American governance. It is helpful to look at what will happen in America through the lens of what happened in the Soviet Union when they took power.

America is about to become full-on Marxist. It's only a few short years away. But, first you all must be disarmed, and by golly you will be.
America is about to become full-on Marxist. It’s only a few short years away. But, first you all must be disarmed, and by golly you will be.

Get ready, because it’s coming and you will not be able to stop it.

The Soviet Union is the blueprint for much of what the left is selling these days. We can see it all around us. And yet we mistakenly think that it is dead and buried. We mistakenly think that it only exists in Communist China.

That’s really and terribly wrong.

The progressive Marxists in America would have a very difficult time living inside of China. For it is a Chinese Conservative traditional nation with zero tolerance for any of that progressive nonsense. They believe in work, merit and participation. If you don’t agree, they will re-educate you to “cure” your malfunction. The Communist Chinese are communist in name only.

They are a traditional conservative totalitarian nation with zero acceptance of anything else.

It’s not “free” like America is. It doesn’t permit “diversity” as part of “democracy”. It doesn’t allow the “free exchange of ideas and thought” like America does. It doesn’t permit allowances for the “less fortunate” or the “less privileged”.

America has "freedom" and "democracy".
America has “freedom” and “democracy”.

The blueprint for progressive Marxist democrats is not China, it is the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union was one of the most brutal regimes of the 20th century. Yet, given the significant timescale of its existence and subsequent collapse, many things have been erased from public memory. Today it is remembered fondly by the leadership of the Democrat party, and cherished by their rabid followers.

This is really strange as terms like dictatorship are often used casually in political debate. This is done without a full appreciation of what real tyranny actually looks like. As well as what to expect when it is permitted to thrive and grow inside of America…

Pseudoscience will be endorsed by the Federal government.

While Soviet socialism (typically referred to as communism) was viewed as scientific by its followers, science was unquestionably subject to ideology.

Trofim Lysenko was a Soviet scientist who backed an alternative theory to genetics which would become known as Lysenkoism. He was hostile to the idea of genetics which highlighted unchanging traits. This was at odds with his Marxist beliefs, which stated that with the right conditioning, society and ultimately humanity could be perfected.

What was once consider fringe, became suddenly real when the armed government took control of the narrative. This was true in all historical venues and will be frighteningly true in America as well.
What was once consider fringe, became suddenly real when the armed government took control of the narrative. This was true in all historical venues and will be frighteningly true in America as well.

The Soviet government eagerly embraced Lysenko’s ideas and his theory was installed as the only acceptable viewpoint within agricultural science. Any scientists who challenged this were removed from their positions and publicly smeared. Many were imprisoned and executed. Not only was science handicapped in the Soviet Union for decades, these bogus theories worsened the famines of the 1930s.

We can well expect that pseudoscience to be embraced and made the law of the land within America;

  • Global Warming.
  • Gender equality.
  • Mainstream abortions on demand as being natural.
Children protesting climate change.
Children protesting climate change.

Psychiatry will be used to silence political dissidents

In the Soviet Union, political dissidents were imprisoned for years in mental asylums and forcibly given mind altering drugs for challenging Marxist doctrine. It was claimed that anyone who lived in a socialist system but was still opposed to socialism had to be insane.

The Soviet authorities even invented a new psychiatric term; ‘sluggish schizophrenia’. Its symptoms included obsessing over philosophy or religion, having ‘delusions of reform’ and having inflated self-esteem. But of course, the disorder was completely made up and deliberately vague so it could be attached to dissidents when useful.

In a society that makes no differences regarding gender, would have no problem forcing gender change "therapy" on dissidents.
In a society that makes no differences regarding gender, would have no problem forcing gender change “therapy” on dissidents.

What made this method particularly effective was that once someone’s sanity was called into question, they were not subject to the same due process compared with a criminal case. This gave the State even more power than it normally had as it wasn’t required to inform the accused of basic details of their case. Approximately 20 thousand people were institutionalized under such claims but the total is believed to be significantly higher.

We hear about progressive liberals wishing Trump supporters would die, and they have even taken up arms and weapons to make sure this happens. Imagine what happens when they are in complete control of the medical establishment.

The top Democrat Leadership will all be sexual predators

Funny how the progressive Marxists are all about trying to out Sexual predators. However it’s been my experience that the people who talk the loudest about certain things are usually the one with the problems about that issue.

The democrat party rewards sexual predators.
The democrat party rewards sexual predators.

Lavrentiy Beria was a Soviet politician and state security administrator under Stalin. He began his career as the chief of police in Georgia and eventually became the head of the secret police, overseer of the Gulag prison system and Central Committee member. Stalin warmly referred to him as “my Himmler”.

Aside from being responsible for the murder, torture and false imprisonment of millions of peoples, he was also a well-known sexual deviant. During his free time he would prowl the streets of Moscow and identify young women for his henchmen to kidnap and transport to his private accommodation where he would sexually assault them. After his death Beria’s villa was turned into an embassy and during refurbishments the bones of dozens of young women and teenage girls were discovered buried on the property.

Historian Simon Sebag Montefiore notes that Beria’s depravity was well known amongst the Soviet leadership. While Stalin tolerated Beria due to his reliability, in one instance, when Stalin heard his daughter was at Beria’s house, he frantically called her and ordered her to leave immediately.

Bill Clinton and Jeffry Epstein.

Expect, regardless of gender, the top progressive Marxist leadership will be aggressive sexual predators. They will have money, complete and absolute power, and will be able to do what ever they want with out any opposition.

Prisons will be an integral part of the United States economy.

The labor camp system was originally created by Lenin but was at its worse under Stalin. These camps, which would become known as the Gulag, were used to imprison those accused of political crimes. The conditions in the camps were appalling. Abuse and mistreatment were commonplace, and it’s estimated up to 2 million people died within them.

American prisons, both State and Federal, will be repurposed to hold "undesirables", "deplorables" and other misfits that cannot adjust to the new Marxist utopia that America has become.
American prisons, both State and Federal, will be repurposed to hold “undesirables”, “deplorables” and other misfits that cannot adjust to the new Marxist utopia that America has become.

These camps operated as a tool of political terror and also facilitated what was essentially slave labor. The Soviet authorities saw the Gulag as a way of helping the economy and believed it could produce a significant amount of income.

Gulag prisoners were frequently put to work in mines, forests, oil fields and large construction projects. Huge amounts of the resources were produced from the forced labor, creating an entire industry in itself. At Kolyma, a region in the far east of Russia, there were 80 Gulag facilities, all dedicated to mining its significant gold deposits.

However, the Gulag turned out to be an ineffective economic model because unsurprisingly slaves don’t make good workers. The labor camps ultimately became a massive drain on State finances.

Most State prisons within America today operate under a "for profit" model for private enterprise.
Most State prisons within America today operate under a “for profit” model for private enterprise.

Today, throughout the United States, the prisons exist under a “for profit” model. Expect them to be expanded and merged with FEMA and some kind of Social Program along the lines of the CCC to enroll dissidents and control them.

Starvation will be used as a weapon

Several famines occurred within the USSR as a result of farm collectivisation. This was largely due to the fact that this policy simply does not work, but what is also true is the Soviet authorities knew that access to food could be used to control the population.

An enormous percentage of Americans rely on food stamps to live. The government can control these people by withholding their benefits.
An enormous percentage of Americans rely on food stamps to live. The government can control these people by withholding their benefits.

This strategy was used in one of the most infamous man-made famines of the 20th century, the Ukrainian famine of 1932-1933, known as the Holodomor. What was particularly cruel about this famine was that it wasn’t solely caused by incompetence, bad policy or denial. Rather it was deliberately manufactured and worsened by Stalin as a means of wiping out the Kulaks, peasant farmers who were economically more successful than the rest of the population and thus, class enemies.

Historians have also speculated that the famine was targeted at Ukraine in order to weaken its national identity. Ukrainian nationalists had put up fierce resistance to Bolshevik rule during the Russian civil war and Stalin was not willing to risk the region rising up.

After seizing crops and livestock, Soviet forces closed off the borders and arrested- or just shot- anyone that tried to flee. It’s estimated that four million Ukrainians died as result of this famine but the true figure will never be known as there was a coordinated effort to cover up the death toll.

Enemies with become friends.

While it is true that Nazism and Communism were bitter enemies, the two ideologies saw they had more in common with each other than their non-authoritarian rivals. After all, both are, fundamentally socialist systems.

Their uneasy but mutually beneficial association peaked in August 1939 with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Officially, this was a neutrality pact but in reality it was also an agreement on which areas of Eastern Europe the two regimes would take over. Poland was the main target of this deal, and within two weeks of each other, the two powers occupied the nation in September 1939. As the Nazis rounded up Jews in their half of the country, the Soviets systematically murdered Polish intellectuals and military officers in their sector.

Even years prior to this agreement, the secret police of both regimes, the Gestapo and NKVD, had been cooperating by exchanging political dissidents who had fled their respective countries. More bizarrely, the NKVD handed over numerous German communists to their Nazi counterparts. Many of those who were traded between the two agencies would meet their end in either the Gulag or SS concentration camps.

Like the book “Animal Farm” you will see the those in power will embrace the ideologies of other socialist nations, become close working friends and mutually support each other.

Terror and violence will be mainstream.

People who are “woke” have little respect for the thought of others. They go into “brain freeze” and immediately assault you for thinking differently than they do. You can expect this behavior to become sanctioned by the government.

Antifa are the "Brown Shirts" of the American Democrat Party.
Antifa are the “Brown Shirts” of the American Democrat Party.

When the atrocities of the Soviet Union are discussed, much of the focus is put on Stalin. However this means the crimes of other earlier revolutionary figures are overlooked, in particular with the USSR’s founder, Vladimir Lenin.

Lenin strongly believed that there could be no peaceful transition from capitalism to communism. The wealthy elites could only be removed from power by force, not to mention they had to be punished for their crime of exploiting the people. Even after the Bolsheviks had achieved control of the government violence and specifically terror were used to control the population and eliminate any perceived threat to its power.

The Democrat "Brown Shirts";
 the Antifa, thrive in Democrat strongholds, but once the Democrats obtain true and complete power, they will be everywhere.
The Democrat “Brown Shirts”;
the Antifa, thrive in Democrat strongholds, but once the Democrats obtain true and complete power, they will be everywhere.

Hundreds of thousands, potentially millions of people, were executed and imprisoned during the ‘Red Terror’, a campaign of violence against those labelled as class enemies. Additionally, during the early years of the Bolshevik government, numerous uprisings were brutally put down.

All of this was organized and endorsed by Lenin. It was under his leadership that the secret police, initially called the Cheka, and the Gulag were established. Moreover, he explicitly stated that the goal was to terrify the population into submission.

This is what the Antifa will look like once the Democrats come to complete and absolute power in America.

“Fake news” will be used to control thought.

We have become accustomed with Google, Facebook, Twitter and all their sub-companies censoring conservative thought. They have also created “fact check” organizations to enforce the legitimacy of their narratives. This is a well known technique and was practiced in the Soviet Union extensively.

The KGB was the institutional successor of the Cheka and NKVD, operating from 1954 to 1991 and was responsible for state security. Abroad, its primary goals were to foster political unrest and promote Marxist ideology.

One of the KGB’s most well-known activities was planting false stories in Western media and spreading conspiracy theories with the intent of destroying trust in institutions and inciting conflict. Today this is widely known as ‘fake news’ but its origin can be traced back to the Communist intelligence agency who referred to it as ‘disinformation’.

President Trump was the first person to take on the massive American news organization.
President Trump was the first person to take on the massive American news organization.

One of the most famous cases of a successful disinformation campaign was in 1984 when the US media covered the supposed scandal of the AIDs virus being created by the American government. This was in fact a lie that had been carefully crafted and strategically inserted into foreign news sources by Soviet intelligence until it reached Western journalists.

Within Russia, while the KGB was officially disbanded, its influence and tactics can still be observed today and have undoubtedly been boosted by the emergence of the internet.

Sweeping purges of non-Marxist thought will be common.

Once the progressive Marxists take control there will be no “free thought”. Like at work, you cannot offend anyone, it will be on steroids. You will, and must act and speak in accordance with the proclaimed fashion. If you fail to do so, you might end up in a re-education camp in Alaska.

Historian Stephen Kotkin describes the Great Terror as “an episode that seems to defy rational explanation.” Between 1936 to 1938 Stalin carried out a sweeping political purge of his administrative, military and diplomatic ranks. Hundreds of thousands of people were arrested, tortured, imprisoned and in many cases summarily executed based on imaginary political offenses.

Sweeping purges of non-Marxist thought will be common.
Sweeping purges of non-Marxist thought will be common.

Again, there was no rational reason to inflict this chaos on the country. Historians have been baffled for decades over Stalin’s actions in this period as his position as leader was arguably stronger than it had ever been and there were no obvious internal threats to the Soviet Union.

While several theories have been put forward, Kotkin suggests that the most creditable explanation is that Stalin wanted to psychologically destroy his inner circle so they would never try to undermine him. Alongside this twisted motivation was Stalin’s paranoia towards the influence of his exiled rival, Leon Trotsky, especially after Trotsky published books severely criticizing Stalin.

Not only was the Terror completely unnecessary, it was also damaging to the regime. With many of the Red Army’s most experienced and competent officers purged during the Terror, Soviet forces were severely weakened in their ability to fight back when the Nazis invaded in 1941. This resulted in extraordinarily high casualties for the Soviets.

There will be institutional anti-Semitism

You wouldn’t think this would occur, but it is a foundational fundamental requirement of Marxist control.

Soviet anti-Semitism was inherited to a large degree from the Tsarist era, and arguably communist anti-Semitism can be traced back to Karl Marx himself, who firmly associated Judaism with greed and exploitation.

Bigotry towards Jews was also closely tied to the Soviet anti-Zionist campaign. It even had an official organization called the Anti-Zionist Committee of The Soviet Public which explicitly stated that Zionists had been collaborators with the Nazis, enabled the genocides in Eastern Europe and had deliberately exaggerated Jewish victim-hood during the war.

Expect this to be the new American Leadership once Trump leaves office.

Though publicly the government claimed to make a distinction between Zionism and Jews, in reality there was institutional discrimination. Jews were prevented from holding certain jobs and were often scapegoated in political witch-hunts. Additionally, as part of the Soviet’s anti-religion campaign, the Jewish faith was subject to, alongside other religious faiths, State oppression in various forms.

Following the Six Day War in 1967, any Jewish-Soviet citizens who applied to immigrate to Israel were denied permission and considered enemies of the people. These individuals, the ‘Refuseniks’, faced severe social and legal consequences, with many being imprisoned for years.

Conclusion

We can see what to expect through the lens of history.

Trump has been unsuccessful in overturning centuries of corruption of the Constitutional Republic. Minor surgery with a tweet here, or an appointment of a judge there is not enough to erase the embedded “deep state” and the progressive tears by Presidents Wilson, FDR, Clinton, Johnson, Obama and Bush.

When Trump leaves, the progressive Marxists will enact sweeping changes and you will be helpless to withstand the onslaught.

Carl Marx will call America his home.
Carl Marx will call America his home.

What you need to think about is how you will adjust to the new reality and live within it. Fighting is out of the question. You will be disarmed, and if you haven’t left the United States by now, you never will.

It’s gonna be too late.

So plan on how you will live within the progressive utopia that is bounding towards you. It’s inevitable.

The True History of American Government and the Sad Devolution to what it is Today.

America today does not resemble anything that is found on the original 1776 United States Constitution. In fact, in many ways, it is the exact opposite of what it was founded as. This is an open fact, and only the most ignorant disagree on this.

Today, the United States is a real mess. It really is. It is an enormous, out of control beast, and no one can tame it. It’s a snarling, nasty critter that is harmful to Americans, and a threat to the rest of the world.

Here, we talk about how America came to be what it is today.

For there are five distinct separate evolutionary periods of American governance. Each one is distinct for all the others before it. They are…

  • Founded as a Republic.
  • Changed to a Democracy with the 12th amendment.
  • Centralized Federal Democracy during the Civil War.
  • Progressive Social Democracy under President Wilson.
  • Military Oligarchy under President Lindon Johnson.
  • Corrupt Military Totalitarian Empire today.

Here we will discuss each time period in turn. What it was like, the benefits, or liabilities, and why it was changed into something different.

We will begin with the start….

Founded as a Republic. (1776)

There is no question that America was founded as a Republic. It is clearly specified as such within the Constitution itself. And the “Federalist Papers” which described (in depth) the reasoning used in the creation of the Constitution.

They abhorred a Democracy and they absolutely did not want America to ever become a Democracy. For they viewed it as “mob rule”, or rule by easily-manipulated rabble.

Their vision was one where the individual States would continue to operate as independent nations. They would have their own flags, their own military, their own laws, and the citizens would be in complete control of their state government.

The Federal Government was intended to be small. It was only intended [1] to be necessary in the case of an external military threat, and to [2] assist in the regulation of trade between the different States.

Nothing Else.

The Federal Government, through the Bill of Rights would establish the framework of “protections” that the various Federal and State governments were forbidden to touch.

The Bill of Rights listed the “untouchable” Rights, and the Ninth Amendment stated that Americans had many, many other Rights. And none of them can be legislated or rules made to curtail them. Thus, the Federal and State governments were limited to what they could do. They could only to what was IMPLICITLY STATED within the Constitution.

America was set up as a Republic. There the Individual was supreme. Second came the States Governments. The Federal Government was intentionally weak and small.

America was a Republic for only a mere 28 years.

Changed to a Democracy with the 12th amendment. (1804)

Well, that did not set well with ambitious and evil men. These people felt that they were better than other people.

Well, they did. (Read their writings.)

They felt that they were smarter, and more capable, and thus should be deserving of extra privileges. And so they strove to change the United States from a Republic into a Democracy.

This is because it is easy to manipulate mobs of people.

Through the manipulation of people, they would increase their power, through the systems inherent in the Constitution.

And this is exactly what happened.

During the first one hundred years, all of the amendments to the Constitution, and the rules and laws laid down in Congress was devoted to four main objectives…

  • Diluting the voting power of a citizen. (The more people allowed to vole, the less power the individual had.)
  • Control of the mass “mobs” of citizenry. (Control of the news media meant control of the people.)
  • Reduction of the influence of State Government.
  • Increasing Federal Control over the States.

America become a Democracy. And Controls over the manipulation of the citizenry grew, as did the size and scope of the Federal Government.

America was a Democracy for 57 years. The entire time the Federal government grew and grew and grew…

Centralized Federal Democracy during the Civil War. (1861)

This continued for many decades up until the push by the Federal Government became far too large. They kept pushing and pushing, and sooner or later someone was going to get hurt.

The States argued that they had their own sovereignty through the Tenth Amendment.

The Federal Government argued that that was no longer true. That the Bill of Rights was meaningless when you have a strong central federal Government.

They were wrong, of course.

But it did not matter. They were strong and powerful.

When the Southern States banded together to fight the Federal monster, a long Civil War broke out. It lasted four years. And while there were many cries to “free the slaves’, at the root of the matter was whether or not a State can make it’s own laws. (And the ownership of slaves is a State law issue.)

The Civil War settled that.

The individual States no longer were autonomous, and must follow the dictates of the Federal Government.

Thus, the American Government became a singular Federal Government over regional “territories” known as States.

America was a Central Federal Democracy for 52 years.

Progressive Social Democracy under President Wilson. (1913)

Now, For around sixty years or so, the Federal Government grew in size, scope and ambitions. The ideas and the systems laid out in the 1776 Constitution were not sufficient to implement any of the “new” and “progressive modern” ideas. Ideas that were being considered in the elite schools and halls of the “power brokers”. They wanted and felt that some serious structural changes needed to occur.

They longed for the power held by the Kings during the middle ages. They wanted a new and modern version; a Feudal Kingship under the guise of “democracy”. New, modern and progressive; to usher in a new utopia of man over nature.

That’s how they thought.

Enter President Wilson.

President Wilson was the President that extinguished the flame of liberty.
President Wilson was the President that extinguished the flame of liberty.

To make a long story short, he was the architect for what America is today. And under his leadership we now have the following realities that are permanently affixed in America today…

  • Government owns and controls all money.
  • Citizens are permitted to rent the money.
  • Ownership of all property belongs to the government.
  • Making laws and rules were handed over to “agencies”.
  • The Bill of Rights is just a list of “privileges”.
  • Americans must work to feed the government.

Yeah it sounds really bad, and it is. But if you distill all the flowery rhetoric and babble-speak, and get down to the raw meat of the issues, that is what it distills into to. And, yes, it’s horribly and very ugly.

But hey! Everyone else was doing it. From Russia, to France, to China. Every ruler wanted full control of their subjects.

America became a Feudal Kingship. People were taught to serve the Federal Government without question. And efforts to spread this type of government around the world began. For “democracy“.

America was a Feudal Kingship under the guise of “democracy” for 50 years. Then it got really bad…

Military Oligarchy under President Lindon Johnson. (1963)

We now know, through the release of the Kennedy Assassination Transcripts that a military coup occurred in 1962. President Lyndon B. Johnson, along with a hodge-podge of other Washington “interests” assassinated a “democratically elected” president.

Immediately after killing the President, America went full-on “HOT” war with Vietnam.

America became the foremost military power in the world and started to exert that power everywhere.
America became the foremost military power in the world and started to exert that power everywhere.

Then they immediately went to war fighting battles all over the world, and funneling money into an Military-industrial organization. An organization that became enormous and powerful.

America became a Military Oligarchy. Much like Hitler and his Nazi’s and Genghis Khan and his hoards of warriors.

America has been a Military Oligarchy for 38 years.

Its’ so out of control, that today we are currently fighting eight simultaneous far-flung wars.

Which brings me to today…

Corrupt Military Totalitarian Empire today. (2001)

It wouldn’t be too bad if it were “out of sight and out of mind”, but events came about that brought war, and military power and control home.

It’s been 19 years since the events of 9-11. We have been a military totalitarian empire ever since.

As America fought these various wars, simultaneous efforts were being made to "bring the Military-Industrial" complex control home domestically. We all can thank President George Bush for this.

Thus America rapidly became a full-on police / surveillance state.

America today is a wild rampaging out-of-control monster that if not contained, will plunge the world into global thermonuclear  armageddon.
America today is a wild rampaging out-of-control monster that if not contained, will plunge the world into global thermonuclear armageddon.

Domestically, the Bill of Rights no longer functionally exist. Alphabet agencies operate independently and run rough-shod over Americans with impunity. A military organization known as the DHS, operates with the NSA, and CIA / FBI to control the American citizenry. Congress has become outrageous media entertainment. Public works projects have ground to a halt, and the media (from alt-left to alt-right) are controlled by the government and manipulate with impunity.

International efforts are now all centered in [1] controlling strategic materials by proxy (Bolivia, Syria), [2] subduing other nations that might be economic threats (China, and Russia), and [3] fighting other nations wars (Yemen, Liberia) following a for-profit model.

America today is a corrupt Military Totalitarian Empire.

Conclusion

To really change the direction that America in involved in… and it needs to be changed, least the world collapse under the weight of World War III…

…we need to recognize what America is today.

We need to see what it was set up as, and how it was changed, and to put systems in place so that this will NEVER happen again.

And, America must change. This path that it is on is not sustainable.

And, tweaking things to undo the policies of Obama is not enough. We need to undo two centuries of policy changes. And this needs to be supervised by people that understand what “liberty” and “freedom” really are…

…and reporting what you did all year to a government agency is NOT freedom. Nor is asking permission to withdrawal your savings from a bank, wearing a seat-belt, or being forbidden from smoking or drinking large-size sodas. If you need to ask permission to do something or are fearful of government consequences, you are NOT living in freedom.

Any person who does not understand this MOST BASIC of understandings shouldn’t be permitted anywhere near the levers of power.

Real patriots need to take control of this situation, and it will not be organic. It’s not going to “just happen”. Like how each of the five stages of American Governance were well-planned in advance and executed, the same must occur by American patriots. This situation needs to change, and it needs to change soon.

Do not place all your hopes and beliefs on a Trump Presidency. While he is doing some good things Domestically, his International policy is driven by neocons and could actually result in World War III. This would be horrific for everyone.

Nor should you put your hopes in the other end of the spectrum. The Bernie Sanders crowd and all their ilk are dangerous idealists. They want to wind the clock back to feudal serfdom under a modern “enlightened” totalitarian social utopia. This would be horrific for many Americans.

The alternatives are far too frightening to contemplate.

Which is why we need to erase all the changes made since 1789 (The Bill of Rights) and start all over with a “clean slate”.

Why America was established as a Republic and not as a Democracy

America was established as a Republic. As a Republic, it was designed to protect the liberty and the freedom of the American citizenry. Over the last two centuries, various individuals have “improved” upon this concept by replacing a Liberty protecting Republic, into a oligarchy ruled pretend-Democracy.

Here we take a look at this transition. We do so based on the book “Liberty in Peril,” by Randall Holcombe.

Liberty is freedom from the government.
Liberty is freedom from the government.

In his book, he challenges the presumption that liberty and democracy are complementary. They are not. You can either have a Republic, or you can have a Democracy. You cannot have both simultaneously.

High School Civics Class

There is no such thing as democracy. It's a sweet utopia. US was the first country to show threat only money design your status and access to privileges of 21st century. Western EU countries (like Germany) show that an average citizen has little to zero control over own countries processes. 

There is no such thing as democracy. there are fairy tales about it which are used as a tool of politics from the neo imperialist West towards everybody else. They consider us all savages and act accordingly. Because they are so "special" (remember one of this degenerative Obama-speeches?) 

- Michael Goryany 

When I took history and government in school, many critical issues were misrepresented. They were given short shrift, and in many instances ignored entirely.

These omissions greatly hampered my understanding of America and created mysteries that my teachers could not answer.

  • How can you have the fourth amendment, and also have the sixteenth amendment at the same time? One permits you to keep your financial affairs private, the other requires that you disclose them under the penalty of law.
  • How can you have a second amendment that cannot be infringed, and an ATF who’s entire purpose and objective is to infringe on the second amendment?
  • How can the United States be a Republic when the general population can vote for the President?

Indeed, the confusing nature of what America was founded as, and the way America was managed undermined my ability to understand what America really was.

Randall Holcombe’s book, Liberty in Peril: Democracy and Power in American History, fills in some very substantial gaps.

I believe that it is particularly great in regard to American constitutionalism, what it is, and what it was intended to be. He spends time describing how it has morphed from protecting liberty to advancing democracy instead. As well as how this love of “democracy” has run roughshod over Americans at the expense of liberty.

The founders did not intend the United States to be a democracy.
The founders did not intend the United States to be a democracy.

It does so with a host of novel and important insights rather than the disinterest generated by the books I suffered through in school.

Holcombe gets right to the main point:

The role of government as [America’s founders] saw it, was to protect  the rights of individuals, and the biggest threat to individual liberty  was the government itself.  

This is beautiful.

I only wish that it was taught in schools this way.

The American government was designed to protect the Rights of individuals.

... So they designed a government with constitutionally limited powers, constrained to carry out only those activities specifically allowed by the Constitution.  

Our nation was designed to have a very small government, with the restrictions on it, large, and clearly defined.

This book describes how the fundamental principle underlying American government has been transformed over the years…

...from protecting individual liberty...

...to carrying out the will of the people, as revealed by a democratic decision-making process. (p.  xxii) 

Holcombe begins by laying out the case that…

“...the Founders had no intention of creating a democracy...

...in the sense of a government that would be guided by popular opinion,” (p. 5) 

…in sharp contrast to current “understanding.” Where the point of government is to take polls and gauge public opinion. Then pretend to react to the opinion poll results.

Which of course is meaningless.

Studies have shown that the government does what it wants.

The media creates fake polls, and fake news, and fake opinion pieces and fake outrage to justify the governmental actions.

And what makes the transformation from a central focus on liberty to a central focus on democracy that routinely invades liberty…

... particularly significant is that the powers embodied in America’s twenty-first-century democratic government are those that eighteenth-century Americans revolted against to escape. (p. 7)

Liberty used to be important.

Since I do not have the space to dissect all of the issues in Liberty in Peril, I would like to highlight a few particularly noteworthy things.

Holcombe starts with John Locke, which is a common place to start for those interested in advancing liberty.

John Locke FRS was an English philosopher and physician, widely regarded as one of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers and commonly known as the "Father of Liberalism".
John Locke was an English philosopher and physician, widely regarded as one of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers and commonly known as the “Father of Liberalism”.

But he also calls attention to Cato’s Letters, which was one of the most influential—but now almost completely ignored—influences leading to the birth of the American Revolution.

I have long been struck by how many of the insights our founders are credited with that actually trace back there (see the first major chapter of my book Lines of Liberty), and I echo Holcombe’s invitation for more people to discover it.

Liberty in Peril challenges the typical current presumption that liberty and democracy are complementary.

They are not.

If anything, they are direct opposites.

American "democracy" is a corruption. It is an oligarchy of the wealthy over the rest of humanity.
American “democracy” is a corruption. It is an oligarchy of the wealthy over the rest of humanity.
The principle of liberty suggests that first and foremost, the  government’s role is to protect the rights of individuals. 

The principle of democracy suggests that collective decisions are made according to the will of the majority…

The greater the allowable scope of democracy in government, the greater the threat to liberty…

In particular, the  ascendancy of the concept of democracy threatens the survival of the free market economy, which is an extension of the Founders’ views on liberty. (pp. 14-15)

This is reflected in the changing nature of elections.

At one time, elections might have been viewed as a method of selecting competent people to undertake a job with constitutionally-specified limits. 

With the extension of democracy,  elections became referendums on public policy. (p. 20)

The book also challenges commonly held presumptions that our Founders wanted democracy.

But while “the Founders wanted those in charge of  government’s operations to be selected by a democratic process,”...

... they  “also wanted to insulate those who ran the government from direct  influence by its citizens”...

... because “[b]y insulating political decision-makers from directs accountability to citizens...

... the government would be in a better position to adhere to its constitutionally-mandated  limits.” (p. 15)
Click and Goggle "democracy meme" to see just how effective and what the people think about "democracy" in the world today.
Click and Goggle “democracy meme” to see just how effective and what the people think about “democracy” in the world today.

And today, in 2020 we see how absolutely correct this assessment is.

“Thus, the Constitution created a limited government designed to  protect liberty, not to foster democracy.” (p. 16) 

But the United States…

“consistently has moved toward more democracy, and the unintended side  effect has been a reduction in liberty.” (p. 25)

After all, that was the sole purpose of both the 12th and the 17th amendments.

Holcombe lays out issues of consensus versus democracy, with consensus illustrated by market systems in which all those whose property rights are involved agree to transactions, (p. 29) but in government…

“a group is able to undertake more extensive collective  action if it requires less consensus to act.” (p. 30)

And the slippery slope is that…

The more citizens want to further national goals through government  action, the less consensus they will demand in the collective decision-making process. (p. 33) 

Another notable aspect of Liberty in Peril is how far beyond the typical discussion of constitutional issues it goes, substantially expanding readers’ understanding in intriguing ways.

For instance, how many Americans know of the Iroquois Constitution, which focused on unanimity?

The Iroquois constitution was based on the principles of peace, power and righteousness. It laid out a system of government and a method of electing representatives to its Long House Council surprisingly similar to the United States governmental system today. For instance, the Council is divided into Younger Brother and Elder Brother meetings, an instance of a bicameral legislature. Because trade and treaties with the Native Americans were critical to the success of the American colonies, the Iroquois constitution and related documents were translated into English and distributed throughout the colonies and European traders.

How many are aware of the Albany Plan of Union, drawn up in 1754, or how it was influenced by the Iroquois Constitution?

The Albany Plan of Union was a plan to create a unified government for the Thirteen Colonies, suggested by Benjamin Franklin, then a senior leader (age 48) and a delegate from Pennsylvania, at the Albany Congress on July 10, 1754 in Albany, New York. More than twenty representatives of several Northern Atlantic colonies had gathered to plan their defense related to the French and Indian War, the front in North America of the Seven Years' War between Great Britain and France, spurred on by George Washington's recent defeat in the Ohio valley. The Plan represented one of multiple early attempts to form a union of the colonies "under one government as far as might be necessary for defense and other general important purposes."

How many know that a “clear chain of constitutional evolution proceeds from the Albany Plan of Union to the Articles of Confederation to the Constitution of the United States”? (p. 43)

How many have noticed that “when compared with the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution clearly less constraining than the document it supplanted…the Constitution did not limit the powers of government; it expanded them”? (p. 48) Yet,

While the authors of the Constitution did deliberately expand the  powers of the federal government, they just as deliberately tried to  prevent the creation of a democratic government. (p. 52) 

How many are aware of what the Confederate Constitution tells us about the US Constitution.

A first draft that remains of the Confederate Constitution.
A first draft that remains of the Confederate Constitution.

As well as the drift from its principles since its adoption.

This is especially true because…

 “the problems that the authors of the  Confederate Constitution actually did address were overwhelmingly  associated with the use of legislative powers. Yes, legislative powers used to impose costs on the  general public to provide benefits to narrow constituencies”? (p. 107)

The Constitution often is portrayed as a document that limits the power of the federal government and guarantees the liberty of its citizens…

When compared to the Articles of Confederation, the Constitution places less constraint on the federal government and allows those who run the government more discretion and autonomy and less accountability.

The adoption of the Constitution enhanced the powers of government and laid the foundation for two centuries of government growth. (pp. 66-67)

Holcombe’s section on “The Elitist Constitution” is fascinating.

It lays out the case for why…

“[t]he Constitution devised democratic  processes for collective decision-making, but the Founders had no  intention of designing a government that would respond to the will of  the majority,” (p. 70) 

…as illustrated by the fact that citizens …

“had  almost no direct input into the federal government as the Constitution  was originally written and ratified.” (p. 70)

The section on the Electoral College is even more striking, as it stands in sharp variance from the presumptions behind almost the entire current debate over the National Popular Vote compact:

[A]t the time the Constitution was written the Founders anticipated that in most cases no candidate would receive votes from a majority of the electors. 

The Founders reasoned that most electors would vote for one candidate from their own states…

...and it would be unlikely that voting  along state lines would produce any candidate with a majority of the votes. (p. 75)

Consequently,

The Founders envisioned that in most cases the president would end up  being chosen by the House of Representatives from the list of the  top-five electoral vote recipients…

Furthermore, there was no indication that the number of electoral votes received should carry any weight besides creating a list of the top five candidates…

The process was not  intended to be democratic. (p. 76)

I found the issues discussed above to be of particular interest. But there is far more in the book to learn from, and often be surprised by, in comparison to what history courses usually teach.

Seventh grade history class as taught within a private school.

Such issues include the evolution of parties, the influence of Andrew Jackson, who …

“fought for democracy, but, ironically, the result of  making the nation’s government more democratic has been to expand the  scope and power of government in response to popular demands for govern  programs,” (p. 91) 

which…

... “the Founders foresaw and tried to guard  against by limiting the role of democracy in their new government,” (p.  91), 

...the War Between the States (“the single most important event in the  transformation of American government,” (p. 93)

And, including the elimination of state succession as a real possibility, the Reconstruction Era amendments, the origins of interest group politics, the evolution of federal regulatory power, the evolution of the incentives of civil servants, the Sixteenth Amendment (income tax) as

 “a  response to the demand for a larger federal government,” (p. 149)  

…a different take on the 1920s, in which …

“[f]ar from representing a retreat from progressivism, the 1920s extended the now-established orthodoxy,  (p. 154) 

…added insight into the New Deal and the courts, Social Security as the …

“one New Deal program for the responsibility for fundamentally  transforming the historical, constitutional role of the federal  government,” (p. 175) 

…how

...“The Great Society represents the ultimate  triumph of democracy, because for the first time a major expansion in  the scope of government was based on the demands of the electorate, with no extenuation circumstances” (p. 205), 

…and far more.

In sum, there are very many good reasons to recommend Liberty in Peril. In it, Randall Holcombe provides not just a powerful and insightful look into crucial aspects of America’s evolution away from the principles of the revolution that created it but also an important warning:

Unfortunately, many Americans do not appear to fully understand these  dangers as they continue to push the foundations of their government away from liberty and toward democracy. (p. 225)

Why is this important?

 Now, global capital has created a tiny minority of wealthy people who  make the feudal lords seem almost a New York rush hour crowd by  comparison. As few as three multi-billionaire Americans have as much  combined wealth as 150 million Americans, all of those expected to  dutifully troop off to the polls and vote for continuing the system that  is moving much closer to a financial breakdown, with more pain and  suffering for more Americans and the rest of the world than the last  collapse caused. Using public funds to bail out private wealth  temporarily saved that one and the public good be damned. That cannot be  allowed to happen again, and uprisings all over the world are taking  place because more people can’t take it anymore. They feel the pain and  see the handwriting on the wall, which may still be beyond those of us  who can only use our smartphones to get dumb news which tells us nothing  but what consciousness control pays its media to cram into our heads. 

...

It once was easier to get away with when there were enough people  getting by to feel comfortable enough to think maybe it would eventually  all work out for the best. That former working middle class is sinking  lower, the lower class is in more misery than ever in modern times, and  the tiny minority at the top is richer than ever before based on its  purchase of armies and a professional class also dwindling in numbers  but still numerous enough to transform minds and politics into  acceptance of the economic slavery that passes for democracy.

It  can’t and won’t last much longer and if we wait for nature to take  action it will obviously be a disaster. But if we organize and act as a  human race, facing our problems as a race threatened with annihilation  if we don’t work together, the result could be the salvation offered by  real democracy in which the words of past revolutionaries like Malcolm  and Martin become the actions of the present generation. That means  ending capitalism and beginning humanity.

Conclusions

Here are my “take aways” for whatever it is worth.

  • The founders did not intend, nor want, America to be a “democracy”.
  • They wanted America to be a Republic.
  • A Republic protects individual rights and freedoms, not to mention liberty.
  • A “democracy” is mob rule and is easily manipulated by people with money, power and influence.
  • This is what happened to America.
  • Today, America is a “democracy” in name, and an oligarchy by function.
  • As an oligarchy, as history clearly states, that it will end catastrophically.
  • The ONLY was to avoid catastrophic turmoil is to drastically alter the current operating framework that the United States exists under. It must go from “democracy” to something else…

America has no rule of law. It’s time to admit it. The tree of liberty and freedom has died a long time ago.

This post describes contemporaneous American events in the light of the loss of liberty and freedom. 

Most certainly, that once you have a two-tiered justice system, you actually have no rule of law. And without a Rule of Law, you cannot have either freedom or liberty.

Today, America does not have Rule by Law. It has Rule by selectively applied Brute Force.

There is no rule of law in the United States. And there hasn’t been one for some time. When you have a two tiered justice system, then you have no justice when the country is founded on “equality”.

Introduction

America was founded on the premise of liberty and freedom. We have all heard this, well most of us, anyways. (Who knows what they are teaching in schools these days.) This article makes the simple statement; freedom and liberty REQUIRES a robust rule of law applied evenly throughout the nation.

If you do not have a robust Rule of Law, evenly applied. You will not have either freedom or liberty.

America is toast.
America is toast.

Freedom and liberty REQUIRES a robust rule of law applied evenly throughout the nation.

When rules are bent in favor of one person over another, justice fails. Without justice, the nation fails. It might be a slow slide into the abyss, but fail it will.

In the beginning…

When In The Course of Human Events……

The Founders of this nation put forward a very basic premise:

"...to  assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to  which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them..."

That no government, no person whether royalty or not, King, Queen or Pawn, can take from one to give to another, to make one lesser than another, to being removed from one of the basics of humanity…

…all for the privilege of another.

This is America today. Where and what freedoms remain?
This is America today. Where and what freedoms remain?
"We hold these truths to be self-evident,  that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator  with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and  the pursuit of Happiness..."

That the very premise of humanity is that one has a right to live, to be left alone to do as one pleases, and to pursue — but not be guaranteed — happiness.  The only lawful and proper constraints arise when your exercise of same prevents someone else from having that same peaceful enjoyment.

America was founded as a place where people could aspire to follow there dreams unencumbered by government interference. Sadly this is no longer the case, as the movie "Tucker - A man and his dream", so clearly illustrates.

One cannot have a right to life if one cannot defend it using tools at least as powerful as those who would take it from you. You cannot have that right to life, that right of freedom and that right of liberty, if the rules of law are not evenly applied to everyone.

There is no freedom when the government can stop your pursuit of happiness.

Based on a true story. Shortly after World War II, Preston Tucker is a grandiose schemer with a new dream, to produce the best cars ever made. With the assistance of Abe Karatz and some impressive salesmanship on his own part, he obtains funding and begins to build his factory. The whole movie also has many parallels with director Coppola's own efforts to build a new movie studio of his own.

This is the story of entrepreneur Preston Tucker and the innovative car  he designed in the late 1940s. 

The car was attractive, economical, and  safe, and had many features not found on the cars of that time -- an  air-cooled rear engine, disk brakes, independent 4-wheel suspension, an  additional center headlight that pivoted left and right for better  vision when turning, a padded dash, seatbelts, and a popout safety  windshield. 

Tucker's promotional activities generated widespread public  excitement and interest in the car, but the powerful auto industry  blocked its production. 

Only 50 cars were ever made. 

The plan was to  produce the car in the former Dodge B-29 engine plant on the far  southwest side of Chicago. Many Chicagoans invested in the Tucker Motor  Corporation, and some bought dealerships. 

Even today, many people  believe that then-Senator Homer Ferguson (R-Michigan) is the person most  responsible for the loss of their investment in the revolutionary  ahead-of-its-time "Tucker Torpedo".

There is no freedom when the government can stop your pursuit of happiness.

This is a basic premise. It is a fundamental requirement for a nation to be one where people can live within an environment of freedom and liberty.

There is no freedom when the government can stop your pursuit of happiness.

The Constitution

The Founders put together a document called The Constitution. It established the Rule of Law that the nation would exist under. 

The debate over it, and what needed to be added to it, is found in The Federalist and The Anti-Federalist; two books that are the chronology of the running debate of the time. 

Anyone who claims to have an opinion on the foundations of our nation and why the Constitution is important ought to have read both, as should anyone who claims a right to run for elective office at any level — state, local or federal.

Duh! All elected officials NEED to be well-versed in both documents. The vast majority today are not. 

Chief among the foundation of this nation is The Rule of Law and that it apply equally to everyone, all the time. It must be applied in each case evenly without exception. 

Over time.

By various people, all for various reasons…

Laws grew, became confused, morphed into one thing or another, and their application distorted.

Today, functionally, the Rule of Law does not exist in America.

The Anti-Federalist Papers is the collective name given to works written by the Founding Fathers who were opposed to or concerned with the merits of the United States Constitution of 1787. Starting on 25 September 1787 and running through the early 1790s, these anti-Federalists published a series of essays arguing against a stronger and more energetic union as embodied in the new Constitution. Although less influential than their counterparts, The Federalist Papers, these works nonetheless played an important role in shaping the early American political landscape and in the passage of the US Bill of Rights.

The Rule of Law.

I can point this out, over and over, and over. And so I will, using examples that we read about every single day.

The law clearly states…

Not one illegal immigrant has a right to live and work, and have children in America. This is true under any circumstance; The Rule of Law says so. 

It does not matter whether they personally intended to break said law; that merely encompasses whether they bear criminal culpability for the offense.  It does not matter what you call them either. You can call them “dreamers”, “hopefuls”, “migrants”, “refugees” and “travelers”.

If they do not follow the law, they must be imprisoned, and then expelled.

Migrants ride on top of a northern bound train toward the U.S.-Mexico border in Oaxaca, southern Mexico, in March. Migrants crossing Mexico to get to the U.S. have increasingly become targets of criminal gangs who kidnap them to obtain ransom money.

Laws follow Due Process and are implemented, policed and structured fairly. Otherwise, they do not follow the Rule of Law. All laws must follow the Rule of Law, and that means that they are derived from the Bill of Rights.

Red Flag Laws

‘Red flag’ gun confiscation laws violate every principle of liberty  upon which our country was founded. There is no due process associated  with “red flag” laws. A judge’s order to seize the firearms from an  American citizen who has not been accused of a crime, charged with a  crime, convicted of a crime—or who never even threatened to commit a  crime—based on the accusation of a single individual is anything but due  process.
           
Our accuser could be a disgruntled employee, a bitter  ex-spouse or relative, a vengeful neighbor, an anti-gun liberal or even  an anti-gun policeman. By definition, “red flag” laws use mere suspicion  of what one “might” do as justification to seize a person’s firearms.  Tactics such as these have been used in virtually every despotic regime  of history. 

- Pastor Chuck Baldwin, quoted at Survival Blog 

The key to having a Constitution, and a Bill of Rights… a strong organized structure from whence all other laws are derived, is that it becomes clear whether a law is constitutional or not.

Not all laws are constitutional.

Since the Rule of Law is derived from the Bill of Rights, any law that violates it is invalid.

  • How can you have an ATF who’s entire reason for existence is to infringe on the second amendment?
  • How can the IRS exist when it, by it’s own fundamental nature, violates the fourth amendment?
  • How can the FDA ban or arrest someone for using drugs when it violates the ninth amendment?

Now, the latest, in a long string of unconstiutional laws, the “red flag” law completely throws the “due process” scheme out the window. Where, an elected judge will make a determination of whether or not someone is guilty and action by the government needs to take place.

Once you remove judges from the equation…

You have no Rule of Law.

And…

And…

And it’s a big deal.

It’s a really, really, big deal.

If you do not enforce the Rule of Law, you do not have a nation.

The anti-gun movement.

Senators Richard Blumenthal and Mark Warner, both Democrats, have threatened legislation that is a rank violation of the First Amendment. They do so using the excuse of being necessary in response to the Christchurch live-stream.  

The second amendment.
The second amendment.

So…

Now we have 90% of the counties in Virginia turning into sanctuary enclaves that protects the Bill of Rights for the citizens of those counties. The Democrat reaction? Call in the military and increase funding to incarcerate everyone opposing them.

The Bill of Rights is not up for debate.

That’s right.

The elected officials”, the new government has decided to openly violate the Rule of Law, and disarm citizens in direct defiance of the Bill of Rights.

This arrogance is what the founders of the nation fought against.

And it’s going to be fought again.

Americans fought the arrogant British government. They did not like being treated as a "cash cow" while the ruling class spent the money on frivolities.

Political correctness is communist  propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the  conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade  or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less  it corresponded to reality the better. 
   
When people are forced to remain  silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse  when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and  for all their sense of probity. 
   
To assent to obvious lies is to  co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself.  One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A  society of emasculated liars is easy to control. 
   
I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. 
       
-Theodore Dalrymple 

It is not possible to understand evil.

In contrast, the “American” empire acts like  Genghis Khan on steroids without his military genius: 

it appears to me  Washington is intent on the wholesale obliteration of countries, their  infrastructure, murdering the civilian populations by the millions, and  so on. 

Moreover, perhaps in the most memorable quote of Hillary Clinton  in calling some Americans “deplorables,” it seems the entire class of  rulers of America views its citizens as dispensable commodities and ill  disguised contempt.  

You cannot stop evil if you refuse to recognize it exists. You cannot accept that evil exists in this world if you close your eyes to it. You cannot see the evil.  You cannot see the dangers if you fail to watch the errors others made that led them to their demise.

Yet, these two elected Democrat officials want to violate a core tenet of law. Why?

Why?

The Democrats believe that they have achieved a strong degree of control over Americans and the only thing remaining to do is to disarm them. They are following a time-line and time-table laid out years ago, and if it seems like they over-played their hand it is because they did NOT expect a Donald Trump in the office of the President. They expected a Hillary Clinton.

Why the Democrats want to suppress freedom.

Governments are banning and attempting to ban guns and opinions related to keeping guns, not because they fear copycats: 

They are banning that speech and literally burning books because faced with the gore, the nastiness and inhumanity of these acts the people may conclude that it was the government itself that sowed the seeds of these acts.

And that the government conspired with gave comfort to said people and groups…

all the while rendering individual people powerless to stop it by infringing on The Right to Keep and Bear Arms

…and did all of the above intentionally.

Were the people to reach that conclusion they’d be correct and in response they might revoke their consent to said government entirely and demand it depart.

When the citizens reach the conclusion that the government is corrupted and needs to be reformed, the second amendment is designed to facilitate that change.

America is resembling a slave camp.

A slave is not allowed weapons because he might use them to become free.

If, before undertaking some action, you must obtain the permission of  society—you are not free, whether such permission is granted to you or  not. 

Only a slave acts on permission. A permission is not a right.

A collapse of cultures…

Cultures collapse when there is no cohesion remaining.

Cultures collapse when the primary means to get ahead is to stomp on someone else’s head instead of innovating.

Cultures collapse when cheating is no longer punished and is celebrated instead.  

Cultures collapse when cheating is no longer punished and is celebrated instead.

If that is not curtailed then collapse is inevitable — it is simply a matter of time.

Europeans dubbed it the Great War. Americans today remember it as World  War One, and recall it as little more than a precursor of an even more  violent Second World War. In reality, Democrat Woodrow Wilson’s justification  for entering the war as a freedom crusade, as a “war to end all wars,”  was, ultimately, little more than rhetorical cover for what amounted to a  war in support of one group of empires, the British and French, against  another, German and Austrian.
 
Indeed,  in a certain sense, it was a bankers’ war. While the ostensibly  “neutral” United States acceded to the British Navy’s starvation  blockade of Germany, Washington simultaneously traded war materials with  its Anglo brothers and floated London vital loans numbering in the  billions of dollars. Clearly, by 1917, after three years of macabre  massacre, Washington had a pecuniary interest in British victory.
 
That  may not be the version of First World War history that most Americans  learned in elementary or high school. Even less well known is the  cynicism and civil liberties suppression of the “Progressive”-in-chief,  President Wilson. 

His strongman tactics:  imprisonment of peaceful antiwar activists under the Sedition Act,  detainment of pacifists in prison camps, and prosecution of critical  journalists under the (still statute law) Espionage Act, are abhorrent  enough. Worse still, however, was the reflexive manner in which the  progressive “left” quickly fell in line with their president. 

The left  eats its own; maybe it always has. Immense majorities of “progressive  s,”just like their socialist brethren in Europe, supported Wilson and  the war in spite of past records of more dovish positions. 

They then  proceeded to attack, suppress, and often professionally ruin, or  imprison, their former compatriots —relabeled as “radicals”—such as Randolph Bourne and Eugene Debs.
 
Nonetheless,  for all of World War I’s horror, futility, absurdity even, the veterans  of the war collectively emerged from the sodden trenches imbued with a  vocal philosophy of never again. Indeed, they celebrated the moment the  guns finally fell silent, the 11th minute, or the 11th hour, of the 11th  day, of the 11th month, 1918, as Armistice Day. 

It was, romantic as it  now seems, widely believed that theirs would be the last war. In fact,  millions of lucky survivors left the war deeply dedicated to ensuring  that be the case. Much of the finest Western literature of the 20th  century, unsurprisingly, generated from the pens of disgruntled, damaged  veterans—Hemingway, Graves, Fitzgerald, Sassoon, and many more—forever  changed by the experience of needless war. 

- The (Real) Revolution in Military Affairs: An Interview with Andrei Martyanov ... a long but fascinating read 

Whether something is “hate speech” is in the eye of the beholder but irrespective of that The First Amendment protects it. 

Why? 

Because even the most-vile expression of dislike is one’s right to hold and have.  To state otherwise is to state a right to control another person’s mind and thoughts — to not only enslave as to labor but to thought itself.

That is profoundly evil. 

The facts are (and do facts matter in America any longer?) that on July 27th, 2014, when the East of Ukraine was already at war, a young woman and her little daughter—Kristina and Kira—were murdered from the shelling of Ukrainian forces. The mother then was named the “Gorlovka Madonna.”

This very same act is what our government is now calling on “big companies” to do, it is what the left has repeatedly done to anyone who dares speak against their policies and desires.

This is true whether on college campuses, in corporate America or in the public square.

If this story was a movie plot,…the audience would walk out and want their money back. Way too unbelievable! hat’s right,  – College Bribe Mommy has a JD from Harvard,  Daddy has a JD from USC and was a prosecuting attorney for both Los Angeles and San Diego,  – before going into high tech and becoming CEO of Wireless Telematics.

Celebrities with dim-witted children got them into colleges by paying bribes and cheating. 

The claim that said students were “blameless” if their test scores were faked or they faked a “disability” to extend time and thus be able to cheat is a lie. 

Another view...
Another view…

Said “students” are fully culpable yet none of them have been charged; 

  • Not only did every one of them know they didn’t compete on the rowing team (for example)…
  • Any of them who got an extra hour or two to take the SAT or ACT knew damn well they were cheating, whether they knew their answers were being modified or not.

Why did this happen and why aren’t the kids in the dock too?

Universities do not obey the law.

Colleges claim they need “diversity.” 

That’s nonsense; in a meritocracy the best rise irrespective of skin color, race or religion.  

The fact is that this “diversity need” is met by lowering standards and allowing unqualified people who cannot do the work into the school. 

When you no longer follow the conventions established by merit, you end up diluting the value of your institution. Eventually, the lowest common denominator becomes the norm.

This was going on in the 1990s and it has only gotten worse — much worse — since. 

There is, of course, no value in that to a person “selected” via “diversity” if they have to pay full price and will inevitably fail to be able to do the work.  

America today.
America today.

This in turn means someone else gets screwed so they don’t have to pay full price and they also don’t have to do the work they are incapable of.  

The alleged “degree” conferred by said school is thus rendered meaningless; it no longer denotes competence and to prevent that from being recognized and their “brand” destroyed said colleges conspire with employers and governments, both outwardly and not to “require” said “credentials” for an ever-expanding list of “professions.”

In short college is no longer about education.

Instead, it is about grift, fraud, bribery and slavery.  It’s a racketeering enterprise writ large and ought to be prosecuted as a felony, starting with the “most-elite” schools.

Rather than change the law (which might provoke a debate over exactly what The Fed “prints”) they simply ignore the law and you let them.

The Fed's legal mandate under the law is for stable prices.  

The Fed’s chair and other governors make dozens of speeches a year and testify under oath before Congress to their intent to violate the law with their “2% inflation target.” 

Inflation, is by definition, not stability.

Congress could change that law but doing so might provoke a debate over exactly what The Fed “prints” and so instead both Congress and The Fed ignore the law and you let them.

You let them.

The truth is that Money is a medium of exchange which you acquire by producing something of value to someone else.  It facilitates trade because it is fungible — that is, you don’t need to transact in oranges, chickens or hours of programming a computer; all three can be reduced to money.

A Pakastani American named Imran Awan worked for Democrats in Congress from 2004 – 2017.  While doing so it is rather apparent he ran a spy ring inside Congress and stole Congressional computer equipment, much of it with the knowledge of Congressional Democrats. 

Prosecuting him would have inevitably drawn those Democrats into what could have easily wound up being criminal culpability including spying for foreign nations.  Which is treason.

So they let him go.

They let him go despite proof that he wired more than $280,000 to Pakistan — funds that very well might have been used to facilitate terrorism!

So why would I?

That is, unless this changes white people will eventually go extinct.

We bemoan a little fish, frog or bird disappearing but there is literally not one word in the media about this. The most-productive and innovative differentiated group of human beings ever to walk the planet is heading directly for extinction by their own voluntary decision.  

We haven't just defiled paradise; we've turned it into a Taco Bell restroom.  

- From David Cole at Taki's Magazine, about California 

Why are white women choosing not to bear children? 

Maybe it’s because a goodly number of them have come to the same conclusion I have.

That there is no rule of law.

Think about this cartoon. Think about what it means. How can this be permitted to happen if the Rule of Law were being followed?

We are  fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where  the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may  act only by permission.
   
-Ayn Rand 

Thus unless they’re so rich they can cheat (like those who did so to get their kids into college) their offspring have no chance of success on a merit basis.

And they thus make the entirely reasonable decision not to create children at all

After all why would you willingly and intentionally bring a child into this world if you believe they are going to be enslaved and mercilessly robbed for their entire lives?

After all why would you willingly and intentionally bring a child into this world if you believe they are going to be enslaved and mercilessly robbed for their entire lives?

Rather than correct that problem governments instead are importing people who have not yet made that determination.

Or even worse, believe (and are explicitly promised) that they can simply put their hand out and force others to provide whatever they want and need.

And…

And thus those people make the entirely reasonable decision to breed like rabbits!

The socialist ideal eventually goes viral, and the majority learns to  game the system. 

Everyone is trying to live at the expense of everyone  else. 

In the terminal phase, the failure of the system is disguised  under a mountain of lies, hollow promises, and debts. When the stream of  other people's money runs out, the system collapses.

WE HAVE NO RULE OF LAW.

WE HAVE NO RULE OF LAW AND WE ARE GOING TO LITERALLY EXTINGUISH WHITE PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE WESTERN WORLD AS A RESULT.  AS FURTHER POPULATION SEGMENTS ARE TAPPED TO BE THE VICTIMS OF SAID POLICIES THEY WILL CHOOSE NOT TO REPRODUCE AS WELL AND INEVITABLY THEY WILL ALSO GO EXTINCT, ONE AT A TIME.

Our government is depraved.

We have no rule of law.

Our government has turned into a tyrannical monster. It is obvious to everyone.
Our government has turned into a tyrannical monster. It is obvious to everyone.

We have in fact become so depraved that our own government is giving cats diseases on purpose. The excuse is to study them, and even though those diseases are easily curable and the animals could then be adopted out that takes a bit of effort and more than a a nickel in cost so they kill them instead. 

That would be bad enough but our government is also importing cats and dogs from nations around the world for the purpose of meat to feed said study subjects, practicing animal cannibalism.  

We can’t be bothered to use byproducts of human food production; you see, that might cost a bit more money.

In twenty-five years, we went from arguing that it must be legal to burn  the American flag to punishing someone who burns an LGBTP flag with  fifteen years in prison. 

- From Brett Stevens at Periscope 

I’m not the only one who recognizes this; here’s another article pointing out many of the same things.

America is extended, riddled with debt and too reliant on ever more debt, past its growth peak, incapable and unwilling to address structural issues.

Both political parties have given up on dealing with debt, illusory monetary policies such as MMT are invented to render structural issues as irrelevant.

Meanwhile wealth inequality keeps expanding from administration to administration no matter who is in charge with voters distracted by the ideological divisions of the day, not trusting their leaders or each other.

And all this with 3.8% unemployment. What will this all look like during the next downturn?

Nobody knows. Rome showed us to not take civilization for granted. It also showed us to not ignore structural problems before they become too large to tackle.

Sven may be hopeful but I am not.

The writing is on the wall.
When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission  from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to  those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get  rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect  you against them, but protect them against you … you may know that your  society is doomed.

I’m not alone either.  Charles Hugh Smith has written a number of columns on this same point, including just recently.

I challenge you to show me just one “grand idea” or modern stock market rocketship that is not a scam in some form over the last 10+ years.

Netflix, as just one example, effectively stole their entire distribution infrastructure, which is very expensive, through various forms of browbeating and when that was threatened they got the government to mandate their ability to force non-customers to pay for what they wanted during the Obama Administration.  

Then, when Obama left, both he and his wife got a multi-million dollar contract from the company.

Martyanov blogs about the political class, including Donald Trump, on his blog Reminiscence of the Future…. But I gave him, if you pardon the expression, a homework assignment, a recent piece by Whitney Webb describing the powers  behind Washington’s politicians, be they “Democrats” or “Republicans.”  

It’s hard to determine where the real power in Washington and the City  of London lies, that is to say who the actual rulers are, but the  greater power is evidently held by the central bankers and billionaires,  operating in a mob like fashion as Ms. Webb described, in fact actually  working with mobsters.

None of them would exist were there an even-handed enforcement of the law for the simple reason that all of them violate the basic law of business balance: 

The more people who touch a transaction the more it costs -- always. 

The reason for that is simple: Nobody works for free.

If you think you’ve found someone who is someone else is stealing from them because no rational person will perform work that benefits only someone else.

No reason to change. The justice system is beyond repair.

We have no rule of law.

This can’t — and won’t — change without Americans rising up by the millions and demanding that it stop and be willing to enforce that demand by whatever means are necessary.

Soldiers and armed civilians occupy the office of ousted Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu in the capital Bucharest on Dec. 26, 1989, the day after he was executed.

This does not mean violence is required.

However, until and unless, those who claim to be “our leaders” believe that any such demand has the force of the people behind it (and will be enforced)…

… should they stick up their middle finger toward common people (once again) as they have done for the last 30+ years…

… they have no reason to stop stealing…

…no reason to stop rigging the system…

…and no reason to stop screwing everyone else.

There’s no reason for me to be hopeful.

This is what I would look like if I was a cat.
This is what I would look like if I was a cat.

This is because there is no reason to believe that Americans, say much less the people in any of the other developed, Western nations will in fact demand this crap stop. 

In fact there is every reason to simply sit back and enjoy what little time is left, given that within the next six years tipping points will be reached in the US on a budget and monetary basis that will destroy the illusion of “growth and prosperity” and from which there is little or no chance of recovery.

America today.
America today.

Democracy is toast.

While we have been indoctrinated to believe that “democracy” is the favored and best way to govern nations, the spectacular failure of what America has become is obvious to the world to see. America, that great, and grand experiment is a complete and total failure.

Yvonne, I don’t think many in Russia view the United States as a  “fascist” power per se—it is indeed difficult to do so for a country so  ethnically and culturally diverse as the United States. 

This diversity  precludes the United States to define itself completely as a nation in  an ethno-cultural sense, nor does the political system of the United  States allow for the emergence of a dictator, a key element of the  fascist state. 

For all his bluster today and accusations in being a sort  of a dictator, President Trump is an extremely weak president, as is  generally the office of POTUS. 

The United States is a classic oligarchy  wrapped in a vast state bureaucracy a/k/a the Deep State which is  increasingly dysfunctional. 

If it is a fascist state in any sense, it is  a very sad in a comical sort of way fascist state, as the three-years  long Russia and Ukrainegate “investigations” demonstrated. Russians,  however do use widely the term of “liberal fascism” to underscore the  totalitarian nature of the so called “liberal” ideology of which the  United States, together with subservient Europe, are the main drivers.
 
As I  repeat ad nauseam for years now, the Western in general and American in  particular so-called elites are incompetent. I observed a precipitous  decline in the professional, the intellectual and the ethical levels of  these elites for over twenty years. 

Now it has reached truly grotesque  forms from pedophilia inside the ruling class, to the media being  utterly corrupt and incompetent. 

I can only repeat my point about the US  having no mechanisms anymore for producing real statesmen. 

Russians  know this, they observe this everyday and in my fifty-seven years of  life on many continents I cannot recall a time period when Russians had  such contempt for and rejection of the so called “democratic values.”  

This is simply unprecedented in Russian history.

Conclusion

There is no rule of law in the United States. A two tiered justice system is NOT rule by law. It is rule by power. As such, the nation will soon collapse. As the Rule of Law is a fundamental aspect of a thriving and successful nation.

There is no rule of law in the United States. And there hasn’t been one for some time. When you have a two tiered justice system, then you have no justice when the country is founded on “equality”.

A Rule of Law is important to suppress evil, and to keep the government under control and the nation stable.

  • Generational turnings.
  • The rise and fall of nations.

I pretty much covered this subject here, in numerous posts.

America is no longer a nation. When you cannot enforce a border, enforce laws, and prosecute criminals, you no longer have a nation. America is no longer a nation. It might still be the remains of a once great empire, sort of like Rome was after the Vandals sacked it, but as a functioning nation, it is no longer. When you cannot enforce a border, enforce laws, and prosecute criminals, you no longer have a nation. I argue that the United States is no longer a nation. Forget about being a nation that follows the Constitution. Rather, I argue that it is not longer a nation in the crudest, simplest, and most primitive terms. What it is is up for debate. But, a nation... no it is not.
Lawless Nation.

When there isn’t any rule of law, the people in power start to act tyrannical and dictatorial. Fundamental to this behavior is the disarming of the population. As that is the last remaining resistance to them.

Failure to obey the Constitution is treasonous.
Failure to obey the Constitution is treasonous.

You can expect to see an acceleration of disarmament efforts all over the Western sphere of influence. With major efforts in the United States taking place irregardless of the consequences. The progressive Marxists do not believe that people will rise up and fight back.

They DO NOT believe that it will happen, or if it does, that they can effectively suppress the actions and spin the events in their favor.


You all can decide on how to handle the elements that are certain to transpire. Just be quick about it, why don’t you.

The gathering storm, so long  denied, is now so strong as to be  uncontainable. The quarter from which it will break is in doubt, that it  will break is not.

2017 Congressional baseball shooting – Wikipedia

The shooting took place on June 14, 2017, at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park in Alexandria, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. There were 24 Republican congressmen who had gathered at the park to practice for the next day's Congressional Baseball Game for Charity, an annual, bipartisan event first held in 1909. Among those at the practice, aside from Scalise, were Senators Rand Paul and Jeff Flake, and Representatives Roger Williams (the team's coach), Chuck Fleischmann, Trent K

Oklahoma Republican state Sen. Jonathan Nichols was found dead  Friday, making him the second GOP state senator to be shot to death in  the last two days. 

Police reportedly found Nichols, 53, dead by a  gunshot wound in Norman, Oklahoma, Wednesday night. His death comes two  days after police reportedly discovered former Arkansas Republican  state Sen. Linda Collins-Smith dead from a gunshot wound and wrapped in  some kind of blanket. 

Republicans start to speculate…

Ya think?

Some people are suggesting that since everything is so polarized in the USA today, that a conflict could break out any moment. Uh. Maybe. It’s just that conflicts are NOT organic. They are planned.

Here is a speculation from Townhall.com;

Please remember, all this stuff on the internet and the news never reflects the true reality.

The progressive Marxists planned on a Hillary Clinton presidency. Here’s some better links…

They anticipated Nationwide gun confiscation by the second year into her term. And, the start of genocide against their opposition in 2020 – 2021 time frame.

  • Hillary Clinton Elected in 2016.
  • Gun related Massacre in 2017 (Los Vegas)
  • Gun collection and restrictions 2018 through 2019.
  • Hillary Clinton Reelection 2020
  • Ramp up of “White Privilege” propaganda. 2020.
  • Round-ups of people 2021.
  • Genocide to begin 2021 through 2025.

I argue that the plans are still in play, simply because there is every evidence that the preparations are still in place.

The progressive socialists and their leadership; the oligarchy, are just “biding their time” until they can obtain Obama-level control over the government again.

Let’s see what happens, and please ignore the news as it’s just all speculation. The situation is in flux and “our side” is losing.

 
Names like Comey, McCabe, Ohr, Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Yates, Strzok, Page, Clinton, Abedin, and Lynch have now been emblazoned in the minds of most Americans. 

Not only because they are or were powerful, but because they are members of the ruling elites who have allegedly committed crimes for which none of them have been prosecuted.

Things are getting very warm...
In short, minions of Leftardia and Stupidia, you have blundered into a minefield, on a pogo stick. Stop what you’re doing, tiptoe out, and pray to whatever deity you think appropriate that you get away with your skins. Because if you insist on pushing your revolution, you’re going to get the war of which you cannot grasp, and the results of which you cannot even conjure in your wildest fever-swamp nightmares.

Mainstream conservatives start to arm up.

Which brings me to the main point of this piece. It’s imperative  those of us who can see the bigger picture stay as focused and as humane  as possible while things fall apart. 

It’s possible to fight for what’s  right without dehumanizing other people. We must resist all efforts by  the media, pundits and even those around us to suck us into the  collective insanity vortex infecting people across the political  spectrum. 

After all, if we don’t, who will?

Things falling apart is never fun or safe; it never has been.  Something else will surely replace that which is going away, and the  best we can do is try to ensure the world of the future builds upon the  best of what came before, while discarding the destructive and  unethical. 

It means being honest about what’s good about the current  system and what’s rotten to the core. It’s not all bad, but it wasn’t  the end of history either. 

Yes, we’re entering a period of increased  turmoil on a global basis, but the future is still ours to make. Let’s  make it a good one.

Conservatives Wake Up

The base is woke and the Establishment’s a joke. I speak to a lot of  conservative groups of various types and flavors: hardcore tea partiers,  patriotic vets, loyal radio listeners, besieged students, brass New  Yorkers, even rich country club types who you would think were into Jeb!  – you know, diversity. And lately, I’ve tended to start off my talks by  posing this question:

“Okay, who here agrees with me that the left wants us enslaved or dead?”

Every hand goes up.
Every single one of them.
That’s our base. 
Folks, our base is hella woke.

And they love Trump, because Trump has delivered the oven-fresh, piping hot conservatism they ordered.

 We Have Reached The Tipping Point
 Posted on October 12, 2019 

 I’m just an average guy, seriously.

 I’m no brilliant historian/scholar/military strategist/political guru.

 Just a working stiff.

 But I try to stay abreast of what is going on around me.

 What I am noticing lately is a very clear departure from the views from the Right that I saw even a couple of years ago.

 Even though I claim to be just another Joe Sixpack, I want you to stop and go read what I wrote over two years ago.

 If I really wanted to do some digging, I could go back even farther  and point to where I was telling people that we were already in the  easily identifiable early stages of a Civil War.

 People scoffed at my thoughts at the time.

 That nervous laughter has evolved into mutterings and now open recognition of that state of affairs.

 Some people are finally catching up.

 As a matter of fact, over the time span from then to now, I am seeing  more and more, that actual violence is being called for from those  perpetual cheek turners who previously denied any such thing was even  possible.

 All in Self Defense of course. (Wink wink, nod nod)

 This low level Cold Civil War is getting ready to go Hot people.

 The Left has lost it’s collective fucking mind and thinks it actually has the stroke to win such an unimaginable horror.

 The Right has finally figured out these cretins are dead serious.

 The Right is now openly spreading the word to arm ourselves and prepare for battle in the streets and from the roof tops.

 Just through my usual casual skimming of my Blogrolls I see post after post from Conservative authors spreading that message.

 All it is going to take is a spark to light off an unstoppable slaughter of incomprehensible magnitude.

 The Left has a handful of Bic lighters and are thumbing the wheels every day now.

 What was not too long ago incomprehensible is now a reality.

 These people are going to keep escalating until someone or something stops them dead in their tracks.

 There will be no Gimme’s and no quarter.

 There will be death and misery for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner until the conflagration runs out of fuel to burn.

 It is too late to stop it now.

 May God forgive us for what we are about to do. 

May God forgive us for what we are about to do.

Conservatives get the message out, War is Coming.

Think of what they would do with real power…

Do  you think that a leftist Supreme Court majority won’t construe the  First Amendment to exclude protection for “hate speech,” by which I mean  any thoughts you might wish to express that they object to?

Do  you think they won’t turn the federal bureaucracy – including law  enforcement – against their political enemies a thousand times harder  than before, having been rewarded for the last decade of doing so?

Do  you think they won’t start tossing dissenters into prison? They do in  England. You can go to jail for a tweet there – and do you think the  left thinks that’s a bad thing, or a creative European innovation that  needs to be imported?

How about the Second Amendment? Are you  kidding? The idea that our citizenry maintains the ultimate veto over  tyranny drives them bonkers.

Do you think they won’t use violence  to make you conform? Hell, Democrat presidential candidate Eric Swalwell  is willing to nuke you for not giving up your guns. We know that because he said so.
It’s  time to stop pretending that people who hate our guts don’t hate our  guts, and that given the chance they won’t act exactly like people who  hate our guts would act.

The time to stop them is now, while we  still can peacefully, before they quit tweeting about killing and start  doing it beyond the occasional Bernie Bro at a ball field. We need to  purge the weakhearts and Fredocons  from positions of authority in our movement and be all-in for victory  in 2020. In the meantime, we need to aggressively push our campaign to  remake the courts. And it sure would not hurt to follow the Founders‘  advice to exercise our Second Amendment rights to reinforce the  deterrent to tyranny that is an armed citizenry.

 Thoughts On Our Collective Civil Insanity
 Posted by El Borak | Oct 12, 2019 | Culture | 1  | 
 
 Every now and then, a nation goes crazy. For whatever reason – it  might be collective humiliation or extreme poverty, it might be boredom  or despair – an entire people becomes unmoored from reality.  It says  and does things that in any other time or place would be immediately  dismissed as foolishness or even fever dreams. In its confusion and  hunger, it turns upon itself, devours itself, rips itself to shreds.

 Examples that immediately come to mind are the Weimar Republic in the  1920s and the various revolutionary governments in France in the  1790s.  In reading accounts of the period, one will note that people  outside of the insanity could scarcely believe what they heard coming  from inside it*. One will also note how horribly the regular people  caught inside the system suffered.

 In both cases, increasing political turbulence led to political  violence. Violence led to recrimination. The government, unable or often  unwilling to stop it, fell upon itself in coup and intrigue. Men took  to the streets. Regular people locked their doors and hid or fled the  nation altogether.

 Eventually the people had suffered enough and a reactionary strongman  arose. The suffering endured by regular people in the interim led them  to welcome both Napoleon and Hitler, if only to restore order. Both led  them straight into more suffering.
 
Raise a child up in the way he should go…

 There can be little doubt America has gone similarly insane. The  highest court in our land is arguing in all seriousness whether a man  who thinks he’s a woman deserves employment rather than a strait jacket.  Our intelligence services and parts of our legislative branch persist  in their extra-legal struggle to remove the sitting executive. Our press  lies to us with impunity, and when caught, simply moves on to the next  big lie. We print trillions of dollars from nothing to buy ourselves  collective comfort. And the people are not horrified; rather most of us  are entertained.**

 It’s a bad road that goes to a bad place. While conservatives are  powerless to even slow this clown car, millions of your fellow citizens  are cheering our Progress into insanity. And there’s likely nothing you  can do to change that.

 That last sentence is a hard statement for most Americans to accept.  We are a people made up of doers and problem solvers, entrepreneurs and  go-getters.  Surely there is something we can do.

 There is something you can do: get the hell out of the way. Get your  family and whomever else God has put under your authority the hell out  of the way. Pray and prepare. Because this road leads to national  suffering.

 People like to throw the word “coup” around because it’s politically  powerful.  But they don’t believe that’s truly what we’re seeing. Or  they don’t understand all it means. Because if they did, they would  realize how many of the functions of modern life, how our financial  markets and our web of gas stations and supermarkets, rely on a  government that is able to keep peace. A government truly at war with  itself cannot keep peace for long. A society that cannot define the word  “woman” cannot perpetuate itself for long.

 Whether the coup succeeds or not, we have reached a point at which  the likelihood of America returning to domestic peace is small. With  every university colloquium on the evils of whiteness, with every third  world colony planted on our soil, those odds drop further. That means  the insanity will grow until the people have suffered enough to bring an  end to it by violence***. Be prepared.

 * Ambassador Governeur Morris’ dispatches from Paris during the  French Revolution are a good example. President Jefferson and his  administration almost wholly disbelieved a “republican” government could  act as the French one did.

 ** Unless it’s our power that’s turned off. Then we drive from station to darkened station looking for gasoline.

 *** Those who subscribe to the Fourth Turning thesis (as I do), understand the options for this occurring are legion. 

The Democrat Marxists openly drop the facade. They call for the open disarming of all Americans.

Open calls for the Genocide of White Conservative Males…

 The progressives are signaling that if you are white and male very  bad things are going to happen to you.  The cuckservatives are starting  to signal that if you are a Trump supporter, then when term limits  remove Trump, or the next massively rigged election removes Trump, very  bad things are going to happen to you.  The cuckservatives hope that if  they signal hard enough, it is only going to be white male Trump  supporters.

 Out of one side of their mouths cuckservatives say that it is absurd  to suggest that progressives are proposing the extermination or  expulsion of white males, and out of the other side of their mouths they  say that if you are a Trump supporter, come the end of the Trump era,  you are going to pay. 
 
 This is not necessarily a good way of removing Trump.  Not in 2020,  and not in 2024.  In the impeachment vote, every Republican voted party  line, which is an extraordinary and startling turn around.  This is a  vote that signals a hope that Democrats will never be allowed to return  to power, and an expectation that such a return may well be prevented.

 The Republicans, faced with increasingly dire threats from the enemy  have united behind Trump.  With the threat in front of them that from  henceforth politics is going to played for keepsies, they are going with  keeping.  And Trumpism is increasingly moving to the position  “screw  the constitution, if we are ever removed from power, the constitution is  dead anyway. Lets grab on to power and hang on for our dear lives.”

 White males and white Christians cannot continue to win elections, and cannot afford to lose them. 

- Politics played for keeps. 
 White culture and white history is being demonized and erased.   Historically, demonizing a group is usually a prelude to attempting to  physically exterminate the group, to physically erase them after  culturally erasing them.

 Progressives, or at least some progressives whose superior holiness  is such that progressives, and even conservatives, are unable to  criticize them, are now piously advocating the next step, in the august  pages of the New York Times, among other places.

 These calls for extermination are couched in ambiguous language.  But  when someone ambiguously tells you he means to kill you, and fails to  clarify that ambiguity, he means to kill you.

 If you don’t intend to kill someone, and it sounds like you do intend  to kill someone, you are going to clarify.  The New York Times and the  rest are not clarifying.

 The usual terrified cowardly cuckservatives piously tell us that  these terrifying threats are “clearly” intended merely to advocate our  erasure from the culture and from history, but it is not clear at all.   Rather, what is clear is that these terrifying threats are deliberately  ambiguous, like the “Liquidation of the kulaks as a class” 

...

 I read the article as calling for racial violence, but maybe it means  something else. If it does mean something else, neither I nor the  cuckservatives have any idea what that something else is.  It does not  say “Time to exterminate the white race” in so many words, but neither  did Hitler say “Time to exterminate the Jews” in so many words.  If the  article is not saying “Time to exterminate the white race” it is  profoundly unclear what it is saying.  What the article does, however  say clearly is that whites simply by existing unavoidably and incurably  oppress other groups.  What the author proposes to do about this problem  is unclear, but she does seem to be implying the obvious solution and  denying the possibility of other solutions. 

 Bronze Age Pervert lists a pile of exterminationist screeds.

The anti-male and anti-White rhetoric of the new left is  extreme. The racial attacks on whites in particular approaches  exterminationist propaganda seen only in, e.g., the Hutu against the Tutsi in 1990’s Rwanda.

 The cuckservatives reply that these screeds are not calling for  extermination.  Well, they are certainly calling for something, though  what they are calling for is not totally clear.  If it is not  extermination they are calling for, what are they calling for?   Nobody calling for extermination ever says plainly what they mean.   These sound mighty like past calls for extermination, and they surely do  not sound like anything else.  If it is not extermination they propose,  what are they proposing?  They are obviously proposing something.  The  lack of clarity is par for the course whenever monsters propose  monstrous deeds.  These are all calls to action.  If the action is not  “exterminate whitey”, what is it? 

...

The Khmer Rouge were full of wrath at foreign educated intellectuals,  notwithstanding the fact the Khmer Rouge cadre were composed of foreign  educated intellectuals, and very rapidly the Khmer Rouge cadre wiped out  the Khmer Rouge cadre.  I expect that when Scott Aaronson is informed,  somewhat to his surprise, that he is white, he will agree that the needs  of the many outweigh the needs of the few.  If you are a progressive,  and white genocide is on the table, then the way to postpone your  execution is to be twice as enthusiastically in favor of it as everyone  else.  Observe the response of the cuckservatives. 

- Genocide on the way. 

Disarming of Americans begin

Right on schedule… right on time… comes the Marxist takeover of Virginia.

Virginia is going to be the kick-off point.

Virginia Is Going To Be The Crucible Posted on December 13, 2019 – 37

As everyone who considers themselves to be a Patriot in this country is very well aware of, the new State Government in Virginia went Blue and then insane with power.

The Anti Gunners have dropped all pretense of being coy about their lust for gun confiscation, registration and basically disarming the general population completely, up to and including making even practicing illegal if they decide there is intent to train for civil disobedience.

Outlawing militias, hand to hand self defense training and all manner of insanity manifested via Lawfare.

Rumors of calling in the National Guard to facilitate disarming the population have flown around the internet.

I just watched this piece by Matt Bracken that Pete over at Western Rifle Shooters Association posted and I have to say that Bracken seems to have a pretty good grasp of what the ramifications of all of this could very well turn out to be, after all, he pretty much predicted all of this fifteen years ago when he wrote his first book.

I can’t embed the video but if you would like to watch it, and I highly recommend you do, you can get to it at this link.

https://banned.video/watch?id=5df2c2ae8c47c0002b0d9db3

I believe there are over seventy Virginia counties and towns now that have declared themselves to be Second Amendment Sanctuaries.

Almost all passing unanimously.

Matt also passed on in the video that there is a massive rally planned in the State Capitol of Richmond on January 20th, 2020 to protest these new laws and to send a message to the wannabe tyrants in office.

I found this in the comments under the video, Regarding the mass rally in Richmond, Virginia January 20th, 2020 that Matt mentioned at the 16:32 mark – The Virginia Citizens Defense League (https://www.vcdl.org) will be holding their big Lobby Day Rally on Monday January 20th, 2020 (which also happens to be Martin Luther King Day). Mr. Bracken very astutely pointed out that if these new laws go into effect and the Governor feels froggy enough to try and send troops or police around to implement confiscation, that there will be a bloodbath.

He compared our governments 18 year hubristic adventures in Afghanistan to what would very likely happen in rural Virginia just to make a point. What I can  see happening is  more of a nightmare for these tyrannical cucks than even they could possibly imagine in their worst fever dreams.

I can see God Fearing and completely fed up rural Virginians going on the offense. As Bracken pointed out what we and they already know, they don’t have enough people to accomplish this Confiscation wet dream. On their best day.

Add all of the National Guard that Virginia and even possibly a few other states could muster, all of the State and Local police, remember most of the Sheriffs have already told them to go pound sand, plus any Feds they might possibly be able to round up and then put that number next to the population of seventy counties and towns full of heavily armed and fighting mad Virginians and start doing some division on paper.

If I was this dumbass Governor they got, I would be thinking real hard about sitting the fuck down and shutting the fuck up while I was ahead. All of these laws they rushed to pass violate the Constitution without even a hint of legitimacy.

I do believe one of he best visual images I ran across that puts this into perspective is the one I saw over at A Nod To The Gods ,which I swiped fair and square for the purpose of making my point here.

The law.
People, this is the law.

So while this Rat Fucker of a Governor, Ralph Northam and his equally reprehensible accomplices may think that they can just run amok over peoples God Given rights to defend themselves, our Founding Fathers were far sighted enough to see his ilk coming a couple hundred years away and made arrangements to give We The People the ability to reign that kind of shit in up front and from the back too if necessary.

Virginia is shaping up to be the ultimate test of those decisions made way back in the late 1700’s. Because I can absolutely guarantee one thing as sure as the Sun rises in the East, the majority of those people in those seventy counties and towns are not going to surrender their guns.

Period.

Whether Governor Ralphie  thinks he has the balls to try and take them remains to be seen but I would bet a weeks paycheck that if he ever actually tried to force the issue with government guns and enforcers, he wouldn’t be around to see how it ends.

Most of Virginia sets up enclaves to protect them from the Marxist government.

Tazewell County is taking this threat to the Second Amendment very seriously. Not only did they pass a Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution, but they’ve also officially begun to form a militia
Tazewell County is taking this threat to the Second Amendment very seriously. Not only did they pass a Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution, but they’ve also officially begun to form a militia

Here’s the summary on what’s happening in Virginia

The situation is in flux.

  • With Michael Bloomberg’s help, the Democrats took over the Virginia state congress.
  • There’s an anti-paramilitary bill that would disallow armed people to gather or teach others how to use firearms or any technique that could cause injury or death.
  • There’s a bill that would make semi-automatic weapons illegal.
  • Nearly the entire state (aside from the highly populated areas that elected these yahoos) has balked and formed Second Amendment sanctuaries.
  • A legislator threatened the sanctuaries with the National Guard.
  • The sanctuaries responded by activating an organized militia.

The only real way to prevent bloodshed and save face for the congress and governor is for these bills not to pass.

That would be difficult, though, given the fact that Bloomberg dumped millions of dollars into getting people elected who promised to pass strict gun control bills. If they suddenly vote against the bill, they will have to face their angry constituents and the wrath of Bloomberg.

Rural Virginians seem unlikely to back down and are willing to fight. They have another month to get organized to defend their communities.

Marxists double down.

[1] Conservative news outlets reporting on the Virginia situation are being threatened and being warned to stop reporting;

“Your reporting about the growing numbers in the militia create a  clear and present threat to America.  As part of Congress, I’m giving  you fair warning that this is the equivalent of shouting ‘fire’ in a  movie theater.  If your reporting incites violence, or can even be tied  to it, we will make sure to charge your editors with felonies,” wrote  the person. 
[2] They are also being hit by cyber attacks designed to shut down their communication.

The first article we dropped about the growing militias was on Monday. Within two hours, we were hit with several massive cyber attacks. The same happened following articles on Tuesday and on Wednesday.

Marxists in other states move forward on the disarming…

And, the police refuse to disarm the citizenry.

Police in Virginia refuse to comply.

Virginia Marxists threaten to deploy Army to collect guns and enforce a gun ban…

Members of the National Guard refuse to comply.

Members of the National Guard are writing articles saying that they will not comply if ordered to seize weapons, and enforce the anti-gun laws.

Marxists budget for imprisoning Americans that will not comply with gun confiscation…

The budget bill (HB30) includes  an appropriation of a quarter million dollars to carry out a host of  gun control measures that Northam and his anti-gun allies hope to enact.

 The  $250,000 is appropriated to the Corrections Special Reserve Fund in  order to provide for the “increase in the operating cost of adult  correctional facilities resulting from the enactment” of Northam’s gun  control measures. 

Among the enumerated laws that this allocation is  meant to fund is a ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms, the criminalization of private firearms transfers, and gun confiscation orders issued without due process.

This article discusses the current preparations for war on going in the state of Virginia. This is a war between conservative patriots, and progressive Marxists. It’s a war between then the urban cities and the rural areas. In many ways, it is shaping up to resemble the Bosnia civil war in general scope with elements of the Rwandan genocide being planned for in the urban areas.

It is my sincere hope that things can be diffused shortly. However, the build up of tensions is proceeding unabated, and it appears to be intentional.

America today. We are at a point of no return.
America today. We are at a point of no return.

First, the sides

The sides have already been established early on. One one side you have the conservative, traditional patriots. They reside in the predominantly rural areas and typically vote Republican and voted Trump into office. They fiercely defend free speech, free association, and the right to bear arms. They are very, very tired of progressive Marxism being rammed down their collective throats, and it appears their angst has reached a breaking point.

They follow and believe in the Constitution, both State and Federal, as written.

“It is the responsibility of the patriot to protect his country from its government.”

—Thomas Paine

On the other side you have the progressive socialist Marxists. They voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. They have been funded from enormous cash donations out of state, and even out of country. They have big business, and big government, and big landholders and the big oligarchy on their side. They pretty much reside in the urban areas and the richest and wealthiest counties.

The progressive activists come in different shapes, sizes and an amazing array of names. They go from democrat socialists, to communists, to liberals, to progressives, to social activists. They ahve armed groups that range fromt he Black Panthers, to the BLM and the Antifa. They all believe in replacing the United States Constitution with a more malleable document where they can control everything.

Second, the violations of Rights

Expert Tip – Never hand in your weapons to the government.

Well, after intense funding from outside the state, and a lack of interest in the Republican “wishy-washy” candidates, the progressive socialist democrat Marxists took control of all the levers of power in Virginia.

This newly elected democrat majority wants to ban the majority of firearms in the state. They want to ban everything about firearms. They want to ban ownership, transport, training and even mentioning having a gun.

The German genocidal events are well known to most Americans over the age of 40. Not so well known to the younger generations. The Nazi Germans "purged" the German society of "undesirables" which included just about EVERYONE except the "chosen" Arian race.
Hitler gun ban meme.

As such the newly elected socialist / Marxist democrats wasted no time “rubber stamping” pre-written anti-gun legislation…

The Armenean death march.
Four years after the government passed the anti-gun ownership legislation, the Christians were all collected and rounded up by armed militia, soldiers and local police forces. They were collected in the schools, town centers, and formed into groups. Then they were either killed outright, or sent on death marches into the hot barren desert.

They want people to turn in their weapons, New Zealand style, and barring that go house to house to search and confiscate the weapons. Those that do not comply will be arrested and given felony convictions.

It’s a scene right out of the 1984 movie “Red Dawn”.

FEMA camp scene from the 1984 movie "Red Dawn". Where people were rounded up because of their association with weapons.
FEMA camp scene from the 1984 movie “Red Dawn”. Where people were rounded up because of their association with weapons. Here, Harry Dean Stanton gave the legendary line, “AVENGE ME!”

Why this is contentious.

The political “talking points” is that all this is “common sense gun control”.

However, the real reason is to wrest control of the United States from the people. This is a long-duration effort that has been on-going for over a century, and now the only thing standing in the way of this takeover are clusters of armed citizens.

The idea is to disarm the citizens and begin the standard socialist takeover of the nation. Already, [1] the socialist Marxists have gained control of almost every government institution, and has molded it in their image. They have also [2] taken over many of the largest private institutions as well. In addition, they have also [3] been funding and arming socialist Marxist agitators.

Everything is falling into place.

For those of you that don’t know what this means, I’ll tell you. It means complete and utter genocide of the opposition.

It’s “common sense” genocide.

Gun Control “wet dreams”. Here is a second opinion on this subject.

Our protections…

Aside from a direct violation of the second Amendment in the Bill of RIGHTS…

Right to Bear Arms
Passed by Congress September 25, 1789. Ratified December 15, 1791. The first 10 amendments form the Bill of Rights 
 
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free  State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be  infringed. 

It is also a violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Bill of RIGHTS. For these laws talk about going house to house, searching for firearms and seizing them, and arresting the people in the house for good measure.

Search and Seizure
Passed by Congress September 25, 1789. Ratified December 15, 1791. The first 10 amendments form the Bill of Rights 

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,  and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be  violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,  supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place  to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. 

Another opinion…

Reg Flag laws.
There isn’t any “due process” in any of these Democrat actions on gun control.

To these people, it’s as if the Bill of Rights does not exist, and that elected officials can make what ever rules and laws they want, selectively enforce them and the people; the citizens have absolutely zero say in the matter.

The American Bill of Rights does not exist if the government does not protect it.

Universal Background Checks

Tazewell County has formed an official active militia.

Tazewell County has formed an official active militia as per the Second Amendment to the Constitution. This is in response to the actions of Virginia lawmakers that (immediately upon election) passed a very draconian gun control bill. A bill that is in violation of both the Federal and the Virginia Bill of Rights.

Tazewell County has  formed an official active militia as per the Second Amendment to the  Constitution.
Tazewell County has formed an official active militia as per the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

The foundation and the authority for Tazewell County to take this action is the Constitution itself;

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security  of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall  not be infringed.

To quote Daisy Luther ;

"To all of those who like to mock gun owners and ask if they’re going  to fight tyranny in a militia, Virginia’s answer is a clear and adamant  “yes.” That’s exactly what they’re planning to do."

Background

Daisy Luther has been tracking this issue aggressively on her website The Organic Prepper. I can find no source finer and better researched than hers on this issue…

After the most recent election, the state’s House and Senate are both Democrat majorities and they haven’t wasted a moment in attempting to gut the gun laws in what has historically been a permissive state.

The so-called “assault weapon ban” is SB16 and  has that perilously vague wording we all know to be incredibly  dangerous. In some interpretations, this law, if it passes, could make  illegal the ownership or transportation of any semi-automatic gun  because extendable magazines are available for it – and you don’t even  have to have the extendable mags. (source)

I personally do not know if the progressive Marxist democrats in the United States realize that they are going to experience some “push back”, or if the “triggers” are intentional to start open warfare. I just don’t know.

Maybe they just think we are all stupid, dumb hicks that will obey what ever they tell us because we are not as bright and enlightened as they.

The Reaction

In a series of rapidly changing developments, Virginia is undergoing  wholesale rebellion by rural and even suburban counties, rejecting the  oppressive gun control agenda recently revealed by the new incoming  Democrat-controlled legislature. 

Gun owners all across Old Dominion have  been up in arms since anti-gun forces took the House and Senate in the  recent election and are now preparing to resist having their arms taken  from them in any way possible. 

-Gun Rights Watch

That’s pretty much it.

You can chip away at every Right in the book , but when you start taking away the 2nd amendment… the very last roadblock to mass slaughter, genocide and tyranny, patriots will put their foot down.

And they have.

Counties across the state quickly organized into Second Amendment sanctuaries.

The speed at which they reacted is a testament to how furious they are  that their state government now wishes to infringe on their rights. 

An  even dozen counties have passed gun owner sanctuary resolutions already,  with new ones coming on a near-daily basis. 

-Gun Rights Watch 

The idea behind this is that the counties, as Second Amendment sanctuaries, would disregard any law that violates either the Federal or State Rights protecting firearm ownership, use and training.

The county-level defensive tactic that began originally in Oregon close to a decade ago, then popularized in Illinois, has spread to over a dozen states. It comes as no surprise that with few other options and little to lose, many communities in the state are vowing not to take part in any gun confiscation schemes or enforcement of unconstitutional laws designed to make private citizens less able to defend themselves.

Now, compare this map to the 2016 election map at the first part of this post. Obviously the battle lines are forming and the progressive tyrannical democrat Marxists want to disarm all traditional conservatives.

Then they have other things that they intend to do. It’s the historical norm. Don’t you know.

Other things…

South Africa. Once the socialist Marxists gain control, they purge all opposition by using military armed police.
South Africa. Once the socialist Marxists gain control, they purge all opposition by using military armed police. Do you think that those dead bodies on the ground had firearms? Do you think that they were trained in how to shoot, and oppose the ruling Marxists in power? This is what a Marxist progressive socialist utopia looks like. It is South Africa today. The disarmed people are turning over their farms, vehicles, and property for an increasingly hungry Marxist government.

The Reaction from the Tyrannical Marxists…

This reaction of taking proactive steps, as opposed to the nearly uniform sheep-like behavior of the past few centuries took the Marxists by surprise. Their reaction was totalitarian.

What?!?!

The sheep (serf-slaves) won't obey us? Well, that just won't go. Jeeves, please fetch me my jewel-encrusted phone. Yes. Now, quickly, don't you know, my masseuse is due in five minutes...

George. George Soros, please. Yes.

What should we do? The plantation is in open rebellion. What would you advise?

Oh, yes. That's right.

Kill the fuckers. Show them who's boss...

State Representative Donald MacEachin (D) was the first to suggest calling up the National Guard to squelch the rebellion…

McEachin also noted that Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam could call the National Guard, if necessary.

“And ultimately, I’m not the governor, but the governor may have to  nationalize the National Guard to enforce the law,” he said. “That’s his  call, because I don’t know how serious these counties are and how  severe the violations of law will be. But that’s obviously an option he  has.” (source)

This reaction was historical.

Which is to say, it follows the model of a tyrannical takeover predictably and unequivocally. It’s historical and follows the same tried and true application of seize, suppress, repress and implement tyranny.

Read your history…

There is no fucking way that Americans are going to allow the government to take away their rights, and implement genocide on them and their families.

No. Fucking. Way.

The progressive Marxists are delusional to believe that it will ever happen without a fight.

So they began to contemplate calling in the military to disarm, arrest, and subjugate the citizens of Virginia.

Adolf Hitler addressing his military telling them that they need to round up Jews, and undesirables, disarm them all for the good of the nation.

The National Guard’s Response

Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia’s National Guard responded rather vaguely via Twitter.

We have received multiple questions regarding proposed  legislation for the 2020 General Assembly session and the authority of  the Governor of Virginia to employ the Virginia National Guard in a law  enforcement role. 

We understand and respect the passion people feel  for the U.S. Constitution and 2nd Amendment rights. We will not  speculate about the possible use of the Virginia National Guard.

— Va. National Guard (@VaNationalGuard) December 13, 2019

The responses in the Twitter thread were very interesting and suggest a firestorm is brewing…

A militia is forming in Virginia

Tazewell County, a county on the mountainous West Virginia border, is taking this threat to the Rights of citizens very seriously. In their minds, the government has completely failed them that that the time has long past for passive acceptance of tyranny. They believe that they need to take strong, unequivocal, and proactive measures to assure that their Rights will remain intact and in place.

The militia is constantly made fun of by the mainstream American media, however there is nothing wrong with demanding that people obey the Constitution. When the government stops following it, and then starts to break every single law in the book, true patriots will not allow it to pass. They will fight back and wrest control back to them.

So, not only did they pass a Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution, but they’ve also officially begun to form an armed, and active militia.

Just this past Tuesday, on December 10th, the Board of  Supervisors from Tazewell County passed two different resolutions in  light of controversy circling those who are pro-gun. 

The first resolution declared the county to be a second amendment sanctuary. This  is not at all surprising to see, as 76 out of 95 counties, 9 out of 38  independent cities, and 13 towns have adopted second amendment sanctuary  resolutions.

The second item on the agenda was the proposition of establishing a  militia in the county. When both of the resolutions passed, the crowd  cheered loudly in support of the decisions.  

Also, the resolutions  didn’t exactly pass by a small margin; the votes were unanimous, with  more than 200 citizens standing by in support.
 
-Law Enforcement Today (source)

County Administrator Eric Young explained why the county has opted to form a militia.

“Our position is that Article I, Section 13, of the  Constitution of Virginia reserves the right to ‘order’ militia to the  localities. 

Therefore, counties, not the state, determine what types of arms may be carried in their territory and by whom. So, we are  ‘ordering’ the militia by making sure everyone can own a weapon.”

Thus, if anyone from the state (government) tries to remove the Sheriff from their  elected office because they refuse to enforce unjust laws, those state  officials will be faced with a lawful militia composed of citizens  within the state. 

-  Tazewell County Administrator Eric Young (source)

Arming up and readying for battle

This article explains the extensive training being offered by Tazewell County to its citizens. This is being done in order to make sure everyone is acting safely and responsibly.

“Coincidentally,” there’s an anti-paramilitary bill on the table.

It’s probably no coincidence that at the same time militias are forming, there’s also a bill to make them illegal. The anti-paramilitary bill SB64 has thrown kerosene on an already brilliant inferno.

This bill, once it becomes law, will make learning how to shoot a weapon a felony. It will be equal to that of rape of a child, or selling hard drugs to infants.

The future of anyone who has any association with guns, gun organizations, shooting, shooting clubs, or hunting. This is a scene from the Bosnia conflict. Take note that all these rounded up men, every single one in this picture, was killed and found buried in a mass grave five years later.
The future of anyone who has any association with guns, gun organizations, shooting, shooting clubs, or hunting. This is a scene from the Bosnia conflict. Take note that all these rounded up men, every single one in this picture, was killed and found buried in a mass grave five years later.

Obviously, the radical progressive Marxists want a conflict. They do so, obviously in the belief, that they will persevere and win this conflict.

Here’s some of the text of that bill.

§ 18.2-433.2. Paramilitary activity prohibited; penalty.A person shall be is guilty of unlawful paramilitary activity, punishable as a Class 5 felony if he:

1. Teaches or demonstrates to any other person the use, application, or making of any firearm, explosive, or  incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to  persons, knowing or having reason to know or intending that such  training will be employed for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil  disorder; or

2. Assembles with one or more persons for the purpose of training  with, practicing with, or being instructed in the use of any firearm,  explosive, or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing  injury or death to persons, intending to employ such training for use  in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder; or

3. Assembles with one or more persons with the intent of  intimidating any person or group of persons by drilling, parading, or  marching with any firearm, any explosive or incendiary device, or any  components or combination thereof. 

-(source)

Obviously, this is not a coincidence.

They predicted how rural Virginians would respond to their gun-grabbing actions. Their plan all along was to confiscate guns and turn any organized resistance into a felony.

The "fall back" position is to "register the guns" instead of an outright seizure. But that is just buying time. The truth is that history tells us that ALL registration of weapons WILL result in collection efforts.
The “fall back” position is to “register the guns” instead of an outright seizure. But that is just buying time. The truth is that history tells us that ALL registration of weapons WILL result in collection efforts, followed by the obligatory genocide of the disarmed. Gun registration is the “Albanian method” of genocide.

The Virginia Legislators are committing treason.

There could hardly be anything more unconstitutional than SB64. When you violate the Constitution you commit treason.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the  security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,  shall not be infringed.

They are violating their oath.

This is the pledge these legislators swore:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia,  and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge all the duties incumbent upon me as ………. according to the best of my ability, (so help me God).” 

-(source)

Every person in the government who has sworn this oath yet supports these unconstitutional bills should be immediately recalled as well as tried criminally. This is long overdue, and because of this lack of policing of the elected officials, we have found ourselves within this mess.

When the government stops policing the very structure of the national Constitution, the door opens wide for the usurpation by people with evil intent.

This strategy was orchestrated by someone with a lot of money and power.

Daisy Luther framed this situation quite presciently. She said…

This is something that has been thought through, perhaps even by gun  control advocate and presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg.  The  reason I’m suggesting Bloomberg specifically is that his PAC donated millions and millions of dollars to turn the legislatures of 24 states to a Democrat majority.  

His millions worked in 21 of those cases, and Virginia is one of them.  Packing the state legislatures with allies would help his agenda should he actually become the next president. Records filed so far show that  organizations controlled and funded by Mr. Bloomberg spent more than $41  million on 24 House races, much of it on eye-catching ads rolled out on  social media and broadcast on television in the crucial final days of the campaign. 

And while it’s impossible to conclude that any one factor tipped the balance in a race, Mr. Bloomberg appears  to have reaped the benefits of his millions in giving.  

Democrats won 21 of the 24 races he sought to influence.  Of those, 12 had been considered  either tossups or in Republican districts. “The mission was to flip the House. Success or failure would be  defined by that,” said Howard Wolfson, a senior adviser to Mr.  Bloomberg. (source)

Bloomberg is rabidly anti-gun and has said that ending “the nationwide madness of U.S. gun violence”  is the impetus behind his run for the White House. If he were to be  elected, may God help America, because he will destroy everything for  which our nation has ever stood.

Here’s the summary on what’s happening in Virginia

His vrs Her thoughts.
It’s funny because it is so very true. Girls and guns. So very funny.

Let’s look at all these facts together.

  • With Michael Bloomberg’s help, the Democrats took over the Virginia state congress.
  • There’s an anti-paramilitary bill that would disallow armed people to gather or teach others how to use firearms or any technique that could cause injury or death.
  • There’s a bill that would make semi-automatic weapons illegal.
  • Nearly the entire state (aside from the highly populated areas that elected these yahoos) has balked and formed Second Amendment sanctuaries.
  • A legislator threatened the sanctuaries with the National Guard.
  • The sanctuaries responded by activating an organized militia.

The only real way to prevent bloodshed and save face for the congress and governor is for these bills not to pass.

What happens when only the government has guns.
What happens when only the government has guns.

That would be difficult, though, given the fact that Bloomberg dumped millions of dollars into getting people elected who promised to pass strict gun control bills. If they suddenly vote against the bill, they will have to face their angry constituents and the wrath of Bloomberg.

Rural Virginians seem unlikely to back down and are willing to fight. They have another month to get organized to defend their communities.

Here is what Daisy Luther has to say…

Remember that in situations such as these, the rumor mill works  overtime. There are a lot of reports that are exaggerated. 

The truth is  bad enough that we don’t need to add far-fetched theories to the mix. 
History is terrible enough and crazy enough that all you need to do is read the "lessons learned" from the handful of survivors of Socialist / Marxist genocides.
History is terrible enough and crazy enough that all you need to do is read the “lessons learned” from the handful of survivors of Socialist / Marxist genocides.
This article is a very good, common-sense breakdown of fact vs. fiction,  although some vehemently disagree with the assessment that the  government will not turn off communications and power for the sanctuary  areas. 

It’s certainly not impossible to imagine that drastic measures  could be taken.
Very Puzzling.
Very Puzzling.
What will happen next remains to be seen, but it is no exaggeration to say that the future of our country is now riding on the response of Virginians, should these unconstitutional laws pass.

Conclusion

These articles will either pass or not.

If they pass, there will be “push back” from the conservative patriots against the Marxist democrats.

If they do not pass, then there will be a short (perhaps two to three years) while the progressive Marxists regroup and rethink a strategy that will enable them to attain their goals to their benefit.

And that is the way it is.

This is when the bullet meets the bone.
This is when the bullet meets the bone.

Thus, the first volley into CWII and SHTF is in progress. Make sure that you have achieved all your prepper goals, mapped out strategies and have back-up plans in the event that things do not go in your favor.

Nice meme on gun collection and genocide,
There is a direct link between gun collection and genocide. It is the historical norm. However, most people are ignorant of history, and others don’t care. They openly want genocide… against their neighbors. They never think that it could be used against them.

Best of luck, and God’s grace.

Universal Background Checks; When you need to violate the 4th amendment to use the 2nd amendment.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Sunday had a call with President Donald Trump about gun control legislation. According to a statement from Democratic leadership, universal background checks are a non negotiable that must be included in any proposal Trump moves forward with.

People! A “universal background check” is a violation of the 4th amendment. Yeah, I know. It’s already violated left and right and every which way that you can think of. Indeed, the entire 16th amendment is a blatant violation of the 4th amendment on it’s face.

Fourth Amendment - Search and Seizure
Amendment Text | Annotations 

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,  and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be  violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,  supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place  to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.  

And for all of you who are confused about the second amendment…

Second Amendment - Bearing Arms 
Amendment Text | Annotations

A  well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free  State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be  infringed. 

All of this is silly.

The United States stopped being the land of the free the moment the 12th amendment was ratified. Good-by Republic. Hello to mob rule and manipulation by oligarchs. It’s just dying a long, slow death. That’s the way it is, and any protests from myself or others just fall on deaf ears. No one wants to hear all this. They want their feudal society, and us rabble had just better accept our place within that model.

From what I see, they are not giving up on this. They will push and push and push until something snaps. Though, I think that they have no fucking idea just how bad the snap will be. You have over three decades of rage built up inside of conservative patriots. They will not give any quarter.

And that, boys and girls, is the way it is.

About the picture, splash above…

Cambodian troops before they were disarmed by Pol Pot in 1970. Every one of them were then systematically killed. Not one survived.
Cambodian troops before they were disarmed by Pol Pot in 1970. Socialist Marxist Communist Pol Pot came to power in Cambodia in 1970. These troops were government military forces who were told by their leadership to hand in their weapons to the new government. They complied. They listened. They turned in their weapons. Every one of them were then systematically killed. Not one survived.

Not one person survived once they turned in their firearms to the new government. Not. One.

Democrat Busybodies and the Destruction of Freedom

Hey! Just for fun, I went on Google and typed the words “Democrat ban”. Why are democrat busybodies so active in banning things? It came back with millions upon millions of entries. I did it on Bing, Duckduckgo, and a few others. In every instance, the results were astounding. Heck! Why are busybodies permitted to go on like they do? What do these busybodies expect to accomplish by to taking people’s money away and banning things? What is their malfunction?

Busybodies. It’s all pretty messed up…

Freedom

Now, to be fair, the Republicans are also out to ban things. It is just not so frantic, crazed, and so active at it as the Democrats are. If the internet is to be believed, Democrats are over one hundred times more likely to ban things than a Republican is. Nevertheless, that means nothing. Not really. Both political parties are run by crazed busybodies. Ah, that is why I like Libertarians and Libertines. They just want to be left alone and don’t give a darn what anyone else wants to do about their own life.

The beliefs of other people really shouldn’t matter to anyone, if we are in the kind of society that America was initially set up as. However, that is promised really not our present reality. The United States does not operate at all as if it was intended; as a guaranteer of freedom and liberty.

Rather it has been run as an empire run by the wealthiest people in the world (many who are not Americans) who have set up serfdom where they successfully milk the American citizenry for financial gain.

American are Controlled

In order to keep the “rank and file” Americans in line, they have setup a system of fears, rules and laws. Each and every single one is an encroachment of individual liberties and freedom.

To put this in perspective, you (the reader) must understand what “freedom” is. It’s not taught in school. It’s hardly ever discussed in a political speech (except by a handful of notable exceptions). What is freedom? Freedom is the ability to do what you want without impediment.

You want to eat sunny-side-up eggs? If you can eat them, then that is freedom. If you cannot, such as in certain places in New Jersey, that is not freedom. It doesn’t matter what the reasoning is for banning something. (A person can come up will all kinds of reasons to justify any action.) Fundamentally, when you take an ability away, you limit freedom.

When you cannot do something, you do not have that freedom. It is gone. It is obliterated.

The Impossible Dream

Ah, the incredulous internet millennial responds; “So you are telling me that I can kill someone else and that is freedom?” My response is very simple. If you can do SOMETHING, without any barriers by society and government, then you have freedom.

Now, let’s not get silly.

No one should have the ability to infringe on other people’s freedom. Killing a person would do that. Therefore, you do not have the freedom to remove other people’s freedom.

Which is, if you think about it, the primary purpose of society and governments instituted by men (“people” for you progressives out there, as well as Microsoft word affectionados). It’s all in the fundamentals.

What about the Constitution?

What has become of the freedom and liberty that was promised to us in the Constitution?  This is both the State Constitution as well as the Federal Constitution. The government should be the guaranteer of liberty and freedom, not the arbitrators of it.

The government is not your parent, or some autocratic leader who hands out gifts to favored individuals (a nod to former President Barrack Obama).

As intended, the United States should let people be people. Then, while people are doing what people do, stand back and let them live life unencumbered.

That is not the way it is.

Busybodies Run our World

The fact is that America is filled with “busybodies”.  They are everywhere. From the five year old bossing their classmates around to the coworker from Hell. All they way up the scale to organized (and funded) Democrat busybodies and beyond. They occupy almost every single position in society, and tend to pester and aggravate everyone else.

Unfortunately, in the United States, they have become organized into huge busybody collectives. Which go by such names a BLM, Antifa, and “deep state“.

As such, they are a royal “pain in the neck”. They demand to tell us how to live our lives. They want to do so many many miles away from us. Those that are already established with a rich support network, such as billionaire George Soros, live in wealthy enclaves. They use surrogates to perform their street-level activities.

George soros uses snopes as a propiganda arm to support many of his nefarious activities within the united states. snopes is not impartial. They have a political agenda. It is an agenda that they are paid to promote.
George Soros was an early contributor to Snopes, and has provided financial backing to the organization for years.

Indeed, it can be summed up quite simply. They want to take your money to fund their lavish lifestyles while they pronounce edicts to limit what you can do.

They call themselves many names. They justify their actions in many ways. However, the sad and factual truth is that they are nothing less than busybodies. Oh, excuse me, busybodies with great PR (if you have been paying even a smidgeon of attention to American media today).

Today, I want to discuss one of the biggest organized groups of busybodies in the United States today; the Democrat party. (We will also spend some time discussing some aligned offshoots such as the BLM, SJW, and Antifa movements.)

In particular, I would like to take the opportunity to concentrate on their love for bossing people around, meddling into other people’s business, and generally destroying freedoms every single chance they get. They are amok. They are like a spoiled child that is throwing food all over a room. They are like a rabid dog, all out of control.

Let’s take a look at their busybody activities…

America is Complicated

There are many articles about Democrats in the United States today. You simply cannot watch any news without some democrat, or a democrat aligned organization, trying to redefine things, stripping freedoms away, or generally trying to take your money.

I’ve got to tell you all, it’s out of control.

They have become more than just a simple nuisance. They have become the enemy of freedom. Oh, they have their excuses! Moreover, what excuses they have become! My gosh, you’ve got to have an IQ of a snail to actually believe some of the excuses.

  • It’s for the children.” That’s a famous line from former President Bill Clinton. He used it quite often.
  • It’s to stop racism.” Poof out of thin air, sometime around 2009 EVERYTHING in the United States became racist. It’s a manufactured narrative. I have other writings on this curious sequence of events. Stay tuned.
  • It’s for your own good.” Ah, the “take your medicine and shut up defense”. This is used by dictators all over the world. Ah, the list can go on and on…

America is Out of Control

Ok, now let’s take a “reality check” here.

There are so many things that are going on in the United States today, that it is just impossible to enumerate every single one of them. I am not going to bother. If you are offended by this, then go away. America today is what it has evolved into. This is neither right or wrong. It just is the way things are.

Some people say that American has gone to “Hell in a hand basket”, while other says it’s just fine as it is. They say America is an exceptional place; a worthy place. It is a place of greatness. Both narratives have their followers. I can actually see both points of view. As such, I would argue that it is both and neither of those two extremes. What America is today is complicated.

America is complicated because we have permitted that crazy busybody down the street to tell us what we can and cannot do.

America was never structured that way. Our founders assumed that their children would recognize a “spoiled brat”, a thief, a crazy person, a misfit, a megalomaniac, a radical, and a busybody. They believed that our children (us) would have the “Brass Balls” to deal with the insolent before they got out of hand and created some “real” damage.

“There is such a large difference in the experience of generations growing up in the post WWII era and those growing up today that it is almost impossible for most youngsters of today to understand and accept as truth a grandfather’s tales of “the way it was”.

That 1950’s style childhood freedom might still exist to some extent in small towns and for kids raised on farms but it isn’t even a believable tale for most kids of today.

Kids today who aren’t permitted to walk to the corner store or a few blocks to school cannot comprehend what it was like for children their age to walk back and forth to schools a mile or more away or walk a paper route of several miles every day.

It wasn’t unusual to see a couple of young boys walking down the street carrying their rifles to go shoot some squirrels in the woods or plink at rats at the local open dump.

Today they send kids home from school for making the letter “L” with their thumb and forefinger.”

You might not like what I am saying because it is so blunt. However it is very true.

Look at the people in who are demanding changes to the society. They want multiple genders. They demand equality by punishing non-conformance. These people would have been locked up behind bars just a few years ago. They would be considered a danger to themselves, as well as a general danger to the public good. All of them have obvious mental disorders and you would need a DSM handbook to classify many of them.

Listen to what they are saying. Listen to what they are demanding. These are Busybodies of the lowest order. I do not care about their reasons, their excuses, or their justifications. Do not give me any excuses. They are busybodies. Period.

American Rent-a-Busybody

Just who are these “busy bodies” that want to control your and my life? Who are they really? What makes them get up out of bed and come all the way over to your town? What makes them want to interrupt YOUR coffee and donut? Why do they block the road while you are off trying to make it to work? Why?

Often times they don’t live locally.

They do not live “down the street”. Instead they are often in another state often geographically far removed from where we live. They are typically bused in to the protest location, taught how to protest, fed, provided with signs and “battle gear” and instructed in strategies to utilize. They are “rent a radical”, they are “paid protesters”. They are pawns in a huge game of chess. They are the cat’s paw used by the people who really control all of us.

Today, people want to ban certain kinds of advertisements like this. Craigslist advertisement for people to become a paid protester.
The Internet has made it easy to recruit protesters for hire. You just put an ad in the paper or blog ,and people flock to you. Now of course, the Soros-backed Snopes will disagree saying that this is all just a hoax or a misunderstanding. In fact, almost all the media is now parroting the “grass-roots” organic creation of these protests, but it’s all a lie. People have come out admitting that they were paid, showing bank statements and agreements that they signed, and legal action has even started against protest organizers who failed to pay the protesters that they had actually hired.

Busybodies are bused in to where you live. They are paid to influence YOUR life. They are paid to disrupt your life and are permitted to break laws without consequence. Their media support arm protects them every step of the way. They work hand in hand to achieve combined objectives.

Meanwhile, they and those who support them, promptly surround their property with fences and guards, if it wasn’t already in a gated community, that is. Then, safe and secure, they dictate their poison and spew their hate. Why are they so fixated in what we do? What is their problem? What is their malfunction? What compels them to think that they know better than I do?

Why it is Out of Control

They ARE out of control, and the society of Americans inside America isn’t doing anything to stop them. There just aren’t any controls. There aren’t any brakes on their behaviors. There are no punishments when they commit crimes, and there aren’t any consequences when they hurt or damage others, property or lives.

The argument is that, “…well, it’s their freedom of speech”.

Wow, how so very selective. They can block emergency vehicles and cause people to die. They can destroy public monuments, interrupt public discourse, and attack people with mace, acid and nails, and no one is permitted to stop them.  It’s their freedom, is the argument.

Well that argument is specious.

The truth is that Americans are enduring a constructed reality. It is a reality and a situation that was put in place by powerful and rich oligarchs with a set defined objective. That these individuals pay off people and police to look the other way, that they pay off the media to report on things selectively, that they pay off the protesters.  All this money and all these funds come directly for you; the tax payer. It is recycled out of your pocket to manipulate you.

It is designed to change the society that you and I live in.

26th of 48 laws of power
Keep your hands clean
You must seem a paragon of civility and efficiency, your hands are never soiled by mistakes and nasty deeds. Maintain such a spotless appearance by using others as scapegoats and cat’s-paws to disguise your involvement.

This has happened before. It has happened in other nations. It always is successful in it’s short-term goals. However, the long-term changes are often a surprise to the oligarchs which manufacture this construct.

The results of all this will be a surprise.

Let’s look at another time, and learn from it. Let’s look at the consequences of the aftermath of the American Civil War. For that was one horrific and bloody war. It split the United States into pieces and brother fought brother, and there were many a crippled and emotionally damaged person afterwards.

Let’s look what happens when a mentally deranged busybody rises to a position of power, and what happens when the checks and balances of society fail to stop their madness.

Let’s look at a typical busybody and what motivates them.  As there are many, in different sizes and shapes.  Some are just loners who hide behind the curtains in their homes and make “anonymous” complaints against others.  Some are more brazen, and show up in public surrounded by a mini-mob or supporters. Others, take a even more active role they go into politics.

For now, let’s take a look at what happens when a busybody gets power. Let’s look at prohibitionist Carry A. Nation. After all, she, nearly singlehandedly, “improved” America by banning alcohol.

Prohibitionist Carry A. Nation

Here, a “busy body”, with obvious emotional issues managed to galvanize a nation against drinking alcohol. There are many articles about her and the chain of events that she set in motion. I will assume that the reader understands that for about a decade (1920 to 1933 in the United States) it was against the law to make, drink or sell alcohol.

This is the woman who started this event.

Let’s look at who she was and what her motivations were.  For obviously, in her mind, she knew what was best for everyone else.  She was better.  She was superior.  She was smarter.  She was more spiritual. She was above everyone else.

Sounds like some people in government today, eh? Any other public person comes to mind? How does someone embrace such a mental illness and get away with it?

The answer is very simple. We let them.

Fat, ugly, ignorant, Carry Nation was a woman who used her group of enraged radical followers to turn a nation on it's head and abolish drinking and other vices.
Progressive busybody Prohibitionist (and crazy woman) Carry Nation was permitted to convince Americans of the importance of absence from having fun. Prohibitionist Carry A. Nation.(Image Source.)

She had a Failed Marriage

Why? My goodness, why did she go about trying to change America? Why did she believe that banning social gatherings and taking away drinking would benefit America. How did she think it would improve America? Why did she insist in fundamentally changing America?

Well, for starters, she had a mental illness.

Yup, she really most certainly did. Now, historians have blamed her failed marriage for the sickness. However, I have other ideas. You have to realize that mental illness is never caused by one lone single event. It is caused by a collect of events that contribute to a fixed mental state over time. Yes. She had a failed marriage, but her sickness ran much deeper than that.

She was the Scarlet O’Hara in real life.

She lost her slaves, and her family plantation. She lost her family, and her loved ones. She lost her status in society. She lost her social network, and everything that mattered to her. Then, at an early age married a heavy drinker. I am sure that there were other contributors, things that were never written about at that time in history…

When you have everything, and then lose it you can lose your mind as well. Carry Nation was the real-life Scarlett O'Hara.
Carry Nation went quite mad after her family lost everything during the American civil war. It must have been a great shock to her system. Her world turned upside down. One minute she is a sweet Southern Belle who is part of a wealthy slave-owning family on an enormous plantation, and then after losing everything she is a single commoner living far, far away in another area with strangers.

She had a sad life. She has my sympathy. It’s tough sometimes, especially when you are alone and no one knows your hurt.

However, rather than focusing on her contribution to the failure, she went outward.  She blamed others, and other situations. It is sort of like Hillary Clinton trying to blame everyone else for her 2016 Presidential failure. It doesn’t work. It never works. (Oh, her followers might disagree. You know, Hitler, Stalin, and Vlad the Impaler had followers too.)

When things go wrong you need to see what happened, you identify what you could have changed and what was beyond your control. Then you make adjustments and better your life. At least that is what “normal” people do.

We need to Confront our Demons

You cannot grow as a person unless you confront your failures. That is how humans learn. That is how we grow.

This is a woman who came from the hills of Kentucky. She was a spoiled, pampered girl who grew up in a large slave-holding family. We know that her family was quite “well to do” and that they owned a large farm with a lot of slaves, according to the State Historical Society of Missouri. She was probably attended to by her own house slave as was common at the time.

Yup, she was used to giving orders and lording over other people.

When she was 21, after the Civil War, her family lost their farm. They lost the main house, all the outbuildings, and all of their farm equipment. They lost their house slaves. They lost their field hands and all of their field slaves. They lost everything except their lives.

So they bundled everything into their lone remaining carriage and abandoned the ruins of their home. They left everything they knew and all that they loved.

They then chose to relocate to Missouri, where she married Charles Gloyd. He was a young doctor who had served in the Union Army. However, he had his own demons, as he was an alcoholic who couldn’t hold down a job or support her.

Shortly after her marriage, she became pregnant. (As was quite common at the time. First time sex and nine months later she pops out a baby.) She left her husband and went back to her parents. Her daughter Charlien, named after Gloyd, was born in September, and her husband Gloyd died just a few months later.

The real causes of madness are often hidden behind unspoken truths.
Carry Nation became a busybody as a means of adapting to her madness. She could not handle just how radically her life changed, and so she lashed out. Being used to wealth and attention, the change to being a poor “nobody” was a real shock to her.

So here is a pampered Southern Belle whose life was turned upside down by the American Civil War. Her parents fled the ravages of their plantation and started life anew. She was a young woman then, and fell in love with a doctor. He was young, full of “piss and vinegar”, and had his own issues. She gave birth to a child and her husband died.

All in all, it sounds like she had an awful life.

Although she rebuilt her life, becoming a teacher and eventually remarrying to a lawyer named David Nation, the memory of her first dysfunctional marriage influenced Nation. Though, I would bet that it was just a focus for many issues that haunted her life. Nothing in this world is the result of one singular issue. That is a “black and white” narrative. Everything is a combination of many factors. It is often complex.

You know the world can be a tough and a difficult place. Sometimes those who have to endure it are scarred for life; they are scarred in ways that others cannot see. They hurt deeply and tragically. They carry this hurt around with them deep down inside.

If she were alive today, my guess is that she would be overweight, shaved away one side of her hair, and dyed the remaining hair a bright color. She would also have many tattoos and piercings. The costumes change, the looks change, but the people stay the same.

It is the socially acceptable look of an angry woman bound down by the chains of her past.

She was a Religious Zealot

“The reign of tears is over. The slums will soon be only a memory. We will turn our prisons into factories and jails into storehouses.”

- Billy Sunday

As she got older, Nation began having “visions” and became increasingly religious. (For those of you who are unaware, there is a series of mental illnesses that describe this condition.) Yah, she was a sick person for certain.

Having “visions”, eh?

Her husband also became a preacher, the historical society writes. They moved to Kansas, she found other women who also had demons to slay. She found an audience who would listen to her. She found listeners. She found followers. In them, she found strength. With these followers, she organized a local chapter of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union.

The American civil war devastated many peoples lives. Friends, siblings, and family lost their lvies. Empires, homes and fortunes were destroyed. Many lost their slaves, and now found themselves destitute.
Carry Nation wasn’t the only person who had suffered. Others had lost husbands, siblings, and family during the American civil war. Many had lost their homes, and with that all of their slaves. She was able to unite many angry and frustrated people who were dealing with the aftermath of a horrible war. They became busybodies and their answer to control was through the banning and control of the actions of others.

The union, founded in 1874, had the singular goal of banning alcohol. Of course they had a reason. They said that it was because of the suffering it caused to families.  They specifically organized to protect the women and children whose male relations drank to excess. Oh yes, you read that right…

They did it for the children.

It was a Different Time

27th of 48 laws of power
Play on people’s need to believe to create a cult-like following
People have an overwhelming desire to believe in something. Become the focal point of such desire by offering them a cause, a new faith to follow. Keep your words vague but full of promise; emphasize enthusiasm over rationality and clear thinking. Give your new disciples rituals to perform, ask them to make sacrifices on your behalf. In the absence of organized religion and grand causes, your new belief system will bring you untold power.

Now that was a different time. At that time, women lacked many legal rights that we take for granted today. They had to depend on male breadwinners for some or all of the family income. If the primary breadwinner was an alcoholic (and perhaps violent) it was a really big deal.

Unfortunately, the anti-alcohol crusade quickly came to also encompass other perceived sources of social “impurity”. They expanded to ban such things as smoking and sexual promiscuity. (Lord knows that no male in his right mind would want to date an angry woman who would not let him drink. My guess is that she and her followers probably didn’t get enough loving. This does not necessarily mean sexual activity, but compassion and understanding.  Without this physical need fulfilled, they lashed out in anger over it.)

They took to politics.

Their union proposed to cure these vices through empowering women to vote. Then with the power to vote they could leverage a huge voting bloc. With this power they could revise the laws so that they would benefit women and woman’s causes. They could move the nation away from being a nation ruled by men to a nation ruled by women! (Though they most certainly promoted it as a nation ruled by both men and women.)

Ah yes. The world domination theme.

Sound familiar, or maybe you saw this in a Hollywood movie. Or maybe you have been watching Washington, D.C. politics. You become a political power and ENFORCE your desires on your fellow citizens through the blunt force of law.

World Domination was a theme reserved for evil dictators, despots or evil villains.
Back in the 1960s and 1970s everyone considered evil people to be very rich, powerful, in control of many things, and obsessed with world domination. Does this sound like anyone in modern politics today? Hum?

The Bolder the Better!

28th of 48 laws of power
Enter action with boldness
If you are unsure of a course of action, do not attempt it. Your doubts and hesitations will infect your execution. Timidity is dangerous, better to enter with boldness. Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity. Everyone admires the bold; no one honors the timid.

As a leader, Carry Nation, took a more direct-action approach to the prohibition crusade than many of her followers who surrounded her. Noting all her supporters, she became emboldened.  She felt that she was above the law.

She believed that through her divine understanding that she could do what she wanted.

So, in 1900, she grabbed a hatchet and barged right into a bar and started to swing it about wildly. She started to smash things, including tables, chairs, bottles, and the men who were quietly minding their own business alone in the bar. This particular episode in the bar at the Carey Hotel in Wichita, Kansas made her famous. She was arrested, but…

“Nation, who was released shortly after the incident, became famous for carrying a hatchet and wrecking saloons,” 

-History.com.

She discovered something important. The news media will promote you for free. All you need to do is be outlandish, and do outrageous things. You need to be a train wreck. Like Charlie Sheen, she was the train wreck of her day.

She made Money by Promoting Prohibition.

Carry Nation knew that she had to have rituals and brands that she could take and popularize.  For starters, she had her unusual name (which is also spelled “Carrie” in some accounts) trademarked in Kansas.

This was a very unusual thing to do. It simultaneously illustrates both her genius and her madness. Nation, who was almost six feet tall, used her commanding presence (at that time, most people were typically short in stature) to promote her movement and her desires. She also moved outside of Kansas, where the sale of alcohol was already technically illegal, and brought her vision (along with her trademark hatchet) to other places.

“Her behavior provoked a tremendous uproar and sent her to jail repeatedly for disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. Later, fines were paid by the sale of pewter hatchet pins, Nation wielded her voice as effectively as her hatchet, eloquently speaking her mind and inspiring others on numerous occasions. Even sworn enemies acknowledged her success with compelling enforcement of prohibition laws and spreading her message.”

Nation and her husband divorced in 1901. I am sure that it was for good reason. Divorce was very rare at that time. So to grant a divorce there had to be a really good reason. After the divorce she went on a number of speaking tours throughout the rest of her life. It’s an easy way of making money.

Barrack Obama, and  both the Clinton’s do this today. It’s an excellent way to collect huge sums of money for little physical exertion. (The truth be told that there wasn’t really anything new that she could say. People went to the rallies to give her money . That was the mechanism, and they might get the opportunity to meet her in person as a result of it.)

I am not judging, just saying.

Her efforts enabled her to buy a small farm in Arkansas. We know that she intended to turn it into a prohibition school to teach her followers how to be an obnoxious busybody and fight for the “good cause”.  Luckily, she died in January 1911. Her train wreck of a life was finally over. However, her followers persisted. She started a trend that soon grew into a tidal wave of support.

Around a decade later, the Eighteenth Amendment was passed.

Consequences of her Insanity

In the United States, everyone associated with alcohol became a criminal.  That represented a huge swath of the nation.  In fact, I dare say, that all Americans at that time in one way or the other were breaking the (various) laws set up to create an American utopia.

This was, of course, a utopia driven by and manufactured by people with serious personality flaws. These were flaws so egregious that they were strongly suggestive of mental illness. Here are some of just a few of the other problems that resulted when we permitted her insanity to influence us;

  • Racism became common under prohibition. Yeah. You “cure” one societal ill, and you make others much, much worse.
  • Organized Crime Flourished. Only organized crime represented the needs of the American people. The police became the “bad guys”. The government became the “club” of the ultra-rich and they became more and more dissimilar to the “rank and file” Americans each and every day.
  • Decline in amusement and entertainment industries. Prohibition’s supporters were initially surprised by what did not come to pass during the implementation of their utopia. When the law went into effect, they expected sales of clothing and household goods to skyrocket. They figured that with men no longer going to bars and spending money on booze, that they would spend it on clothing and furniture for the children. That did not happen. Other people hopping on to the prohibition’s “band wagon” were surprised as well.  Real estate developers and property owners expected rents to rise as saloons closed and neighborhoods improved. Chewing gum, grape juice, and soft drink companies all expected growth. Theater producers expected new crowds as Americans looked for new ways to entertain themselves without alcohol. None of it came to pass. Instead, the unintended consequences proved to be a decline in amusement and entertainment industries across the board. Restaurants failed, as they could no longer make a profit without legal liquor sales. Theater revenues declined rather than increase, and few of the other economic benefits that had been predicted came to pass.
  • Prohibition Criminalized Everyday People. Until that time, most people thought of the police as always “on their side”. The police were people who helped you out when you need it. By making everyone a potential criminal, the entire dynamic of the United States changed. Now, as it still is in many places, it’s “us” versus “them”.
  • It forced the expansion of the Income Tax. On the whole, the initial economic effects of Prohibition were largely negative. Apparently, the only people who prospered during this time were those “running the show”;  the followers of Carry nation and their ilk. The closing of breweries, distilleries and saloons led to the elimination of thousands of jobs, and in turn thousands more jobs were eliminated for barrel makers, truckers, waiters, and other related trades. It completely wrecked an entire industry, and all the other industries that supported it. The unintended economic consequences of Prohibition didn’t stop there. One of the most profound effects of Prohibition was on government tax revenues. Before Prohibition, many states relied heavily on excise taxes in liquor sales to fund their budgets. In New York, almost 75% of the state’s revenue was derived from liquor taxes. With Prohibition in effect, that revenue was immediately lost. At the national level, Prohibition cost the federal government a total of $11 billion in lost tax revenue, while costing over $300 million to enforce. Prohibition lasted from 1920 until 1933. The most lasting consequence was that many states and the federal government would come to rely on income tax revenue to fund their budgets going forward. The federal income tax, and well as many State taxes expanded during this time. If you are unhappy doing your taxes come April, you should start screaming that the crazy bitch who forced them into your life, not the taxman.
  • Corruption of public officials. Prohibition led to the growth of widespread corruption of public officials by organized crime. This enabled gangsters to conduct their illegal operations. The extent of the corruption was a national scandal. There were other effects as well. Prior to Prohibition, most people didn’t give firearms a second thought. However, during Prohibition, organized crime started to arm themselves with military grade weapons. They began to be equipped with Tommy guns, and BARs.
  • Extension of US Naval territorial waters. The U.S. government began to push for an extension of the area of the ocean over which governments have jurisdiction, from 3 miles to 12, which would make it much more difficult, time-consuming, and dangerous to run liquor in from the larger ships. The U.S. eventually succeeded in pushing its national borders outward, expanding national sovereignty over oceans, another unexpected consequence of our anti-alcohol policies.
  • The Rise Of Cocaine And Heroin. Cocaine was taken by people in the United States long before Prohibition came into effect, but it experienced a spike in popularity in the 1920s, particularly among the jazz scene of the time. Whether or not this was due to Prohibition or pure coincidence is unclear. However Prohibition was probably a major contributor.
  • Court System breakdown. One of the main reasons that Prohibition ultimately failed was the pressure it placed on law enforcement, the courts, and prisons. By the time it became apparent that people would not simply abstain from alcohol as largely expected, US law enforcement was at its breaking point, the court systems were backing up, and the prisons were getting full.  You can thank this full-on crazy bitch for making the Prison a household word in America.
  • A distrust in elected officials. Um, they should be distrusted.

Summary

Well, let’s look at the checklist for this famous busybody.

  • She had a failed life.
  • Unable to reconcile it, she turned outward.
  • She became a religious fanatic, and set up a profitable business around her religious message.
  • Using the money she made and her huge following, she was able to pressure the government to do her bidding.
  • They prohibited alcohol.

In the process they hurt America and it, to this day, has not recovered. Indeed, the rest is history.

Destruction of liberty can only last so long until freedom eventually breaks through. That was the case with the banning of beer and ale in the United States.
About fuckin’ time. (Image Source.) Prohibition finally ended after ten long, long years of living under the rules set up by busybody Carry nation. Today, it has been over one hundred years since the 16th amendment (Income Tax) was passed. You would think that Americans would do something about it by now. You would think.  Her efforts to ban things, like all busybodies, are just like the Democrats today.

How they get away with all this

It does not matter what their “cause” is. It does not matter who they are, where they are, who they influence or what manner that they go about wreaking havoc. They get away with it when good men stand aside and do nothing.

  • When laws are not enforced.
  • When repeat offenders are not monitored.
  • When the mentally ill are permitted to organize.
  • When an issue / cause get’s promoted in the media.
  • When they are funded, and those funding their behaviors face no consequences.

Such is the case today in the United States. While crazy lunatic Carry Nation disrupted the lives of Americans for a couple of decades, it is the SWJ movement that is really out of control.

Social Justice Warriors (SJW)

Here is a real “pain in the ass” group of “busy bodies”. They are called “Social Justice Warriors”. Or, SWJ for short. They are busybodies on steroids. Not only that but they are funded by powerful financial interests, and allowed to fester in incubators such as university campuses.

Need I remind everyone that this was the exact same breeding ground for the 1989 pro-democracy movement in China. What happened to those SWJ’s? Anyone?

Anyone remember what happened to them? Anyone?

Tanks were called in to a very large public rally and they were all machine gunned down. Those not at the rally were hunted down, rounded up and put into hard-labor camps. Many are still there. Working in the mines, eating lard and fish heads, and having their organs harvested.

American SWJ; following in the footsteps of their China SWJ brethren…

They are pretty active now at the time that this article was being written. It might be due to the water, or maybe global warming. Whatever the reason, they are really a problem. Here, it is not one person, but an organized onslaught created with a sole purpose and objective in mind; a Social Utopia run and managed by “Busy Bodies”.

They want a utopia where they can sit up on a throne and tell everyone else HOW to live their life. They want to control other peoples speech, actions, activities, interests, dress, thoughts and religion. They want to control their thoughts. They want to control their actions. They want to control their appearance. They want to control everything.

Obviously they do not believe in America, freedom nor liberty. Obviously.

I have looked up and down the internet for a half decent description of what an SJW is. Everyone that I could find seemed to concentrate on one or two characteristics of the group. However, nothing really came close to defining exactly what a SWJ was. For most people, apparently, SJW fit whatever you wanted it to be. This wasn’t helpful.

That is like saying a busybody is a person who is busy with their body.

However, I have eventually found a very good description. A very good, detailed, description of what a SJW is can be found reprinted from “What Is A Social Justice Warrior (SJW)?” written by Roosh on 6OCT14. It’s pretty good;

Social justice warriors believe in an extreme left-wing ideology that combines feminism, progressivism, and political correctness into a totalitarian system that attempts to censor speech and promote fringe lifestyles while actively discriminating against men, particularly white men.

They are the internet activist arm of Western progressivism that acts as a vigilante group to ensure compliance and homogeny of far left thought.

The true definition of SJW is up for debate, but most generally it has become a catch-all term that describes feminists and liberals who actively try to solve the perceived social injustices of modern society by organizing in online communities to disseminate propaganda, censor speech, and punish individuals by getting them terminated from their employment.

They have also been successful at positioning themselves in the upper echelons of universities, media organizations, and tech companies.

I do have to agree with this.

There are people who have come up with different definitions for what a Social Justice Warrior is. Their explanations vary from the point of the view of the author.

To some, they are heroes and heroines. They will make the world right, and everyone will be happy with rainbows, and unicorns prancing about in fields of bright green clover. Men will turn into hermaphrodites.  Everyone would be the same, and all would think and act exactly like the leadership; ah, the leadership of a mentally unstable person.

Play to people’s fantasies
The truth is often avoided because it is ugly and unpleasant. Never appeal to truth and reality unless you are prepared for the anger that comes for disenchantment. Life is so harsh and distressing that people who can manufacture romance or conjure up fantasy are like oases in the desert, everyone flocks to them. There is great power in tapping into the fantasies of the masses.

Personally,I think those people need to read a little more history. Especially the Cultural Revolution in China in 1966, and Pol Pot in Cambodia.  If you play with fire, you can and will get burned. Thank God, Americans still have their firearms!

Then there are those, like myself, who find them a potentially dangerous nuisance.

SWJ in China

Luckily for me, I live in China. There aren’t any SJWs out here. Not any longer.

Now you know, they began to make a little noise a few years back. Do you remember the “Tiananmen democracy protests“? (Yeah, let’s force China to become a democracy! Woo Woo!) Well, that didn’t go down very well. The government tried to negotiate with them, but they wouldn’t have anything to do with it. They wanted all or nothing.

The time was around 1987 to 1989.  (It had been fomenting underground for a year or two.) Now the Chinese government well-learned the lessons of the Cultural Revolution. (Yet, another SWJ effort, only this time being lead out of Beijing itself.) Now that event happened around two decades earlier. It was still FRESH in the minds of everyone. They remembered it as an AWFUL time.

That is because it actually WAS an awful time.

It was a terrible mistake that almost threw China into the dark ages. It resulted in the deaths of millions of people and just about destroyed the Chinese heritage. During that event, the SWJ’s were permitted to run amok. As a result they devastated the nation. They destroyed so many good things about China and almost ruined the nation to a point where it could NEVER recover.

They would NEVER permit that ever to happen again. Never, ever, they won’t ever allow that mistake to reoccur. No matter what.

The Chinese government quickly summed up the situation.

These SWJ’s had no intention on working together for change. They wanted things their way on their terms. They wanted to repeat the Cultural Revolution, only this time it was THEIR turn. And they would do it right. They wouldn’t make the same mistakes. (Oh, where have we heard that before?)

The SWJ’s felt that they had global public opinion on their side. They believed that if they could control the media, that they could control the Chinese government. As a result they started to work hand-in-hand with CNN and other western media outlets. CNN told them, instructed them, what to do and how to act. They started to attend specially constructed and staged photo-opportunities.

Well, CNN and their sister organizations weren’t doing the SWJ’s any favors. Over a short period of time, it became clear that powerful forces OUTSIDE of China wanted the SWJ movement to succeed.

Thus the Chinese government knew that they had to take action  and move quickly. Like it or not, they moved internal military forces in and took control of the situation promptly. The radical SWJ’s were all rounded up and collected. Public punishments were necessary for stability and to maintain social harmony. They were all thrown in prison back in the early-1990’s during the Tiananmen event.

Do not fall for the pro-democracy propaganda from the fake-news media in America. America is not, and never was, a democracy. These people were NOT peaceful protesters who wanted liberty and freedom. They were something else. They were radical SWJ who wanted and demanded a “seat at the table” so that they could set up a “new” government with THEM in charge.

Yeah. Do not fall for the Western propaganda.

Their behavior is not tolerated here, nor is the behavior of ANY busybody. You try to act as a SJW here, and you will be put away and organ harvested while you do hard labor. The same goes for BLM, AntiFa, and the myriad of similar organizations. China and the Chinese people have zero tolerance for this nonsense.

It is necessary to organ harvest in order to recoup some of the moneys used when dealing with the messes and issues that busybodies create.
In China, organ harvesting is a way to recoup the costs necessary to deal with busybodies. It costs money and takes time to deal with SWJ disruptions. There are lost wages, inefficiencies in labor, and all kinds of economic problems as a result. They only proper way to deal with these individuals is to have them pay for the costs that they incur. As most are unskilled, or at best under-skilled, the only way to recoup the costs they incur is through organ harvesting. That is the most efficient and humane way of recouping losses that they generated.

Yes. You read that correct. Do NOT fall for the media propaganda, and it is propaganda. Those involved with the Tiananman event were anti-society busybodies who wanted to turn the nation on it’s head, and take over and make China into a Utopia with them in charge of it. CNN and the leadership only made it appear that they wanted a democracy. They wanted full tyrannical control using democracy as the means to obtain it.

Anyways, today China has ZERO tolerance for busybodies.

It doesn’t matter what their intentions are. It doesn’t matter how wonderful their idea of Utopia is. It doesn’t matter how many think-tanks, blue-ribbon panels, or studies that they arm themselves with. It doesn’t matter if you have contracts with CNN, Facebook, Google or any other large global software organization. It doesn’t matter if you have talked to the King of Social Upheaval, Barrack Obama the First. The Chinese don’t give a rat’s ass. If you are a busybody in China you will be segregated from society, punished, and if necessary, killed.

If you see an SWJ on the street, or they call you at work, or try to harass you in any way it’s easy to take care of. Just dial 119. Bye bye SJW, say hello to a country that DOESN’T MESS AROUND.

China harvests the organs of convicted inmates.
China does not mess around. If you try to be a busybody, and you try to start messing with society, the government will arrest you. They will convict you. They will punish you. And, they will harvest your organs. Which is why you will not see any SWJ, BLM, Antifa or George Soros minions in China. (Or in Japan, or in Korea, or in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia or even Thailand or Burma.) They are never allowed to fester and rot the fabric of society. Do you think that this chick will go protest on the street, harass a government official, burn a police car, topple a statue, or act as an on-line troll after she leaves confinement? What do you think? It’s gonna be hard to do without her liver.

Not only that, but they will seek you out if you live in another nation. If you even try to fuck around with the Chinese social structure, you will be sought out. One person, or one hundred businesses, it doesn’t matter. They will come FOR YOU. You will be hunted down. You will be carted back to China, and you WILL suffer the consequences.

The Chinese do not take kindly to SWJ individuals.
There is no where to hide if you mess around with the Chinese. They will find you. They will get you (legal or not), and they will bring you to China for swift justice. These folk thought that they were safe in the EU. It doesn’t matter, you cannot hide from the Chinese.

Ah, you’ve got to love China. This is a nation that knows what it’s priorities are and does not mess around.

Humans are not equal

Hey! Here’s a newsflash: no one is equal. We are all different. We look different. We act different. We have different strengths, and desires. The only time when we should be treated equal is in regards to proportion exercises. Other than that, fuhgeddaboudit.

And, while I am at it, don’t lecture me on my “white privilege”.

I sure as heck didn’t have any. My life was HARD. When I was fourteen I was hauling coal under the friggin’ ground and then loading them into railroad hoppers at the crack of dawn. We rode busted hoppers down inclines with faulty brakes. We rode the underground train to blast sites and stood by while we blew out coal shutes. What were you doing?

When I got older, I stood under hot molten steel while it was being poured into molds that I had to hold upright with metal poles. We inhaled toxic gasses, and were allowed a ten minute break to grab some fresh air and a smoke before we had to go back and stand under that blazing cauldron. What were you doing?

After work I had to go to school, and all the time I was being picked on because my family were Polock Catholics. Yeah, I was called names. So fucking what? Yeah, I was crappy playing basketball, and I was the last one picked on school teams. So fucking what? What the fuck have you been doing with your worthless life? How have you been contributing to your family? To your friends? To your society?

Life is hard. Get over it.

I most especially don’t want to be lectured by a fat, obese chick that hasn’t taken a bath in a week, thinks tattoos on the face are beautiful, has nose plugs the size of quarters, and is unemployed.  I do not appreciate being yelled at while you try to shove your fat obese body up to me. Do not think that I will not punch you back in the face when you do so.

Just leave me alone.

Do Not mess around with the tiger. It might look good and nice, but it does not like busybodies. If you tug on it's tail it will lash back and do more than simply bite you.
There are those of us who have ABILITIES, far in excess of what people expect. We are nice. We are kind. We look nice enough to pet. However, we can be very dangerous. Do not mess with the tiger.

Back to Roosh and his discussion of SWJ

Roosh goes on and breaks down some significant characteristics of SJW “warriors”. He has done quite a good job on this. (Warning, if you are under the age of ten, you might get “triggered”. I suggest you either leave, or take a Valium.)

Remember, boys and girls, the quotes are from Roosh and are HIS own opinions. They are not my quotes or statements. So if you are triggered or angry then you will need to take a stress pill and relax.

We need to relax and not take things too seriously.
This all might be too stressful for you. I would advise you to take a stress pill and relax. What is written herein are my opinions. They do not have to be part of your reality.

Roosh goes on, in his very opinionated way, about SJW’s and the value that they place on the view of other people. Ok. It’s his opinions. But all busybodies, no matter where you live, hold this same belief…

Being a SJW is a badge that says “I am a busybody, and I am in your face about it! I am better than you. Bow to me. Because I am the silver clad knight protecting and righting the wrongs of the past!”

Using a “privilege” hierarchy, SJW’s calculate the worth of a human being based on perceived injustices or wrongs that group has suffered since the time of ancestral man, using selective and narrow interpretations of history.

SJW’s elevate groups that they believe have received the least amount of “privilege” in the past, and then use internet activism in the form of mobs and community purges to target those who are determined to have greater amounts of privilege. The idea of privilege is so essential to SJW ideology that a common debate tactic they use is to say “check your privilege,” which roughly translates to, “you must immediately halt or change your speech because your ancestors may or may not have done bad things to women or minority races.”

For example, if a notable white American male makes a joke about a lesbian black woman who practices Islam, SJW’s will coordinate using a combination of blogs, Youtube, and social networking to dox him (publish his personal information, including where he works). They will then pressure the man’s company by flooding it with calls and messages with the goal to remove his source of income while engaging in a mass reporting campaign to get his online accounts suspended.

Their ultimate goal is to silence all speech that they don’t like and which they find offensive while also punishing the speech offender by removing his source of income. As they grow in power, the acceptable range of speech that would trigger an SJW witch hunt is becoming more narrow, and those who are high up on the privilege hierarchy (white men) have to speak through a careful filter if they don’t want to be subject to an SJW attack.

Roosh has a point. It is very difficult to argue against this. Numerous examples of this are everywhere. And yes, by selectively targeting people based on their exercise of American free speech, they actually are being selective in how they treat, attack and judge people.

They can make up the criteria on the spot out of thin air. They do not need to follow any guidelines except how the accuser SWJ feels.

Of course, none of this would actually be an issue, if the governments enforced the law, monitored radicals, and imprisoned people trying to upset social harmony. Luckily there are still nations that have concern for their citizens.

China does not mess around. If you think that you can can hide in Taiwan and try to disrupt the harmony of some one who lives in China, you are sorely mistaken. The Chinese will come for you. They will get you. They will give you a trial and a fair sentencing. You will then learn what real justice is. You don’t mess around with a country that takes SWJ activity seriously.

Any SWJ that hurts Chinese citizens or residents is fair game when it comes to capture and imprisonment.
If you are a SWJ in Taiwan, you are not safe. The Chinese will come and get you. As they have many, many times previously.

Consensus is Better than Objectivity

It is the end of the individual. It is the end of private and personal opinion. It is the end of free speech. Everything that a person must do or say must be approved by the group collective. These busybodies use popular opinion while they have strength in numbers to push their agenda, whatever it is at the moment. In earlier times this was called “rule by mob”, or simply shortened to “mob rule”.

SWJ use groups of people to form mobs to influence others. They browbeat others. They attack, attack, attack and make life pretty miserable if you do not bow before them.  They are the kings. They are the Gods that YOU must OBEY.

Indeed, Roosh breaks this down quite well.

SJW’s do not believe in objectivity. Instead, speech and ideas must be viewed relatively depending on the source and its intended audience. The feeling of the statement must also be taken into account, which can be affected by current news, cultural moods, and pop trends.

For example let’s consider the statement “Asian people are nerds.” If a famous white man uttered this phrase on Twitter after a major Japanese earthquake, a punitive SJW witch hunt may be triggered, but if a popular gay black female Youtuber said the exact same statement, no action would be taken.

The reason is because the black woman is low in the SJW privilege hierarchy and therefore has a greater range of free speech that she could give before triggering a witch hunt.

The white man, who is at the top of the privilege hierarchy, has no leeway to make a joke about any race since he is not in a protected SJW class. He would be decried as racist and a bigot, in spite of the fact that a statement like “Asian people are nerds” has low ambiguity regardless of the race or status of the person who said it.

The lack of such objectivity in SJWism is by design. It’s borrowed from Cultural Marxist thought, which argues that objectivity and the idea of right or wrong is less important than consensus. The reason is that consensus can be easily accomplished by controlling the narrative—cultural facts, ideas, and memes that are possessed by a specific population.

There are serious roots that are tied closely with Marxist thoughts and beliefs.  It is the method that enabled the decline of many societies to the enrichment of a mere handful of people.

SWJ in China is the same as SWJ in The United States.
SWJ is not about what they talk about. They are following the same formula. It is the overthrow of the status quo by powerful interested people who wish to remain hidden.

Obviously, the leadership in the SJW movement believe that they too, one day, will profit and benefit from the direction that the movement takes on. Indeed…

If one can manufacture consensus by controlling this narrative through domination of the media or by swiftly eliminating speech which goes against what “should” be believed, specific beliefs can be held even if they go against proven scientific thought or basic rationale. SJW tactics evolved by necessity to keep their ideology alive in a modern climate where science—even 100-year-old science—contradicts the bulk of their ideas.

For example, a basic tenet of SJW thought is that there is no difference between men and women besides their physical bodies, that evolution stopped at the neck for human beings and gave both sexes an identical brain. Human biology can not sustain this notion, so when a person tries to state that men and women are different to a large audience, the SJW does one of three things:

(1) Attempts to censor the speech through mob action

(2) Calls the person a misogynist who hates women to inoculate the general population from considering the accurate information presented

(3) Destroys the livelihood of the person by contacting his employer so that he is less able to exercise his free speech

Now, none of this should be a surprise to anyone. These are well known and well documented techniques. They are using techniques that have been proven to work in the past. They are using them with modern communication techniques, support and funding from very wealthy individuals and with a support network that includes selected government officials and a compliant media operation.

Roosh continues…

You’ll often encounter SJW debate tactics trying to use consensus to persuade you: “How can you think X when so many people think Y?” 

As you may already know, consensus is a poor judge of facts or morality. Consensus used to believe that the earth was flat and that the sun revolved around the Earth. Sadly, many great men were imprisoned or executed for going against consensus on beliefs that we know are true today. 

Consensus in America also supported the institution of slavery, which of course didn’t make it right. And not long ago consensus believed in segregation between whites and blacks, even in the north where slavery was not practiced. Consensus has been shown to be a dangerous method to validate ideas or behavior.

Observers will note that information control is a huge component of SJW ideology. They have no other choice—their ideas do not hold water to basic science and logic so SJW’s evolved mechanisms where they must control and censor speech which goes against their beliefs. 

By controlling what arguments or ideas people are exposed to, they have a greater chance of convincing others through manipulation and outright bullying of their world view to create the consensus they need to affect societal change. Some individuals buy into their cause because opposing viewpoints were hidden from them, often labeled as “hate speech.”

I have to tell the reader, I wouldn’t be able to devote such a large amount of time dissecting the way or techniques busybodies employ. For me, it is just enough to know that busybodies exist and how to avoid them.

All this talk about group think and group consensus is something right out of a George Orwell novel. All of it. It is like America has become some kind of crazy dystopian novel. However, the craziness is confined to the United States and similar nations.

Here in China, the SWJ’s are kept at bay. They know better than to try to disrupt the harmony of the Chinese society. In fact, if I were so bold, they are particularly sensitive to SWJ activity. The moment that there is any evidence of an SWJ trying to mess around in China, the entire weight of the Chinese legal system (and military) is mobilized. They go after SWJ’s no matter where they are. Even if they are hiding in South America or Mexico.

No use trying to be anonymous in the Americas. China will find you and come and get you. In the past, neither the United States, Canada, Mexico stopped the Chinese efforts to capture SWJ fugitives.

You cannot hide if you are an SWJ.
There is no where to hide. Even the vaulted United States will stand aside while the Chinese come and get a listed Chinese enemy. In fact, in the United States, federal agencies will even assist in the effort. See that guy on the left wearing the sunglasses. The Chinese never act alone. They always get assistance.

The messenger is Most Important

SWJ believe that they are important. They are the messengers of truth; the guardians of what is good and right.

There are many elements of this that are indicative of mental illness. Indeed anyone who runs entirely on emotion, with little in the way of mental reasoning are traditionally thrown into a mental hospital as they are unable to exist in any semblance of normalcy.  Intellect alone can be dangerous. Emotion alone can be dangerous. Wisdom is a careful blending of both.

Unfortunately, an inability to proportion out intellect and emotion is a mental illness. Roosh continues…

A big chunk of their activism depends on subjective feeling and perceived value of the parties involved. Before an SJW can make a decision on what is right or wrong, she must first know the race, gender, and sexuality of the involved participants so that she can decide whether or not to be outraged. A statement or idea in isolation is not enough for them to come to a conclusion on the acceptability of a statement. For example, consider the following statement:

“Abortion should not be used as a method of birth control.”

An SJW could not definitively respond to this statement unless they knew who uttered it. If I—a Caucasian man—published this statement on a popular site like CNN, the outrage would be immense. Most comments would accuse me of hating women and wanting to control their bodies. A petition would be started to prevent me from ever writing on CNN again. On the other hand, if a popular feminist like Jessica Valenti said this statement in the same publication, the response would be more balanced. She would receive some criticism but even support from individuals who would try to destroy my life had I said the exact same thing.

A person who believes in the scientific method would not be swayed by the messenger. They would analyze the statement and attempt to either verify it or not based on logic. SJW’s avoid such objective behavior.

Emotion fuels the actions of SWJ. Emotion. This is the same energy-cell that fuels crazy people. It is the exact same source of power that got all of Hitler’s followers killed. It was the source that resulted in the deaths of millions in Russia, in China, and in Cuba.

SWJ in China compared to the United States.
SWJ is not about what they talk about. They are following the same formula. It is the overthrow of the status quo by powerful interested people who wish to remain hidden.

Only China and Russia recognizes the dangers of SWJ’s. Americans are fat, lazy and stupid. They do not stand up for their nation, their culture, and their history. As a result, they are at the risk of losing it all to some wacked SWJ nut-cases embolden, financed and powered by the enemies of the United States.

I am reminded of a science fiction story by Ray Bradbury, where an alien race wants to invade the Earth. They don’t know how to do it because humans are so strong and powerful. So they find out a method. They decide to use the children, and in using them, they take over the world.

SWJ’s attack america by using our laws and our fears against us.

Groups are More Equal than Others

In many ways, SJWs are modern day “Brown Shirts”.  For those who don’t know, the Brown Shirts were an organization called The Sturmabteilung. They were a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party. In fact, it was the Brown Shirts that helped Hitler rise to power in Germany. (Then he had the leadership all killed during the “night of the long knives”. Ah, yes. Know your history.)

Know your history.

The Sturmabteilung or SA men were often called Brown shirts because of the color of their uniforms which were similar to Benito Mussolini’s Blackshirts. Oh, they had their glory days. I think it lasted for under two decades. Then they were all killed. That’s life. Know your history, especially if you are trying to duplicate it.

Roosh continues…

SJW’s make a big show of wanting “equality,” but as the Animal Farm quote goes: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

They absolutely do not believe that a man deserves the same treatment that should be given to a woman of his same race.

When they say “equality,” what they really mean is to apply special benefits to protected groups in order to create equality based on their subjective perception and feeling. They even go so far as to claim that women and non-whites can not possibly be racist against white men.

If a black woman calls a white man a cracker, honky, redneck, hick, or peckerwood, she’s correcting historical wrongs and injustices, not being a racist individual.

Since they have no objective measure or guide of equality, it is only achieved when they feel it has been achieved, but then that would destroy the very reason for their existence, meaning that their war on inequality is similar to the war on drugs or terrorism.

It’s a perpetual war that will never be won in their minds because there will always be the creation of a new group needing privilege and equality. If you substitute the word “power” whenever they use “equality,” you’ll come to a more accurate descriptor of what motivates their activism.

If you want to do a simple test that hurts an SJW’s argument that she is about equality, ask her the following: “Do you believe a black woman is equal to a white woman?”

They will squirm mightily and may look to the left and right at their SJW friends to know what they think first before giving you a muddled answer that is inconsistent with their other stated beliefs.

You know, it’s going to get really interesting to see what happens to all these SJW individuals in the next ten years of so. If they become more powerful, then there will be a very nasty surprise for the SJW leadership. If they fade into the black, then the cultural impact will adversely affect the industries that support this behavior. It will be most certainly curious.

Roosh is correct.

Of course, the Chinese here will not care if you are hiding out in a suburb of liberal San Francisco or off on one of the islands of the Philippines. They will go and come after you. There is zero tolerance for disruption of social order.

The Chinese go after criminals and take them back to China.
The Chinese will go anywhere to get criminals. SWJ and their ilk are considered to be criminals. If you try to hide behind the internet, a telephone, a black mask, or a darkened car, they will consider you a threat. They will come for you and it will not matter where you live.

People must be Labeled

The tools of all tyrants.; depersonalize, demonize, and attack. However, you know what? We are all sick and tired of being labeled.

Every. Single. One. Of. Us.

Now, we wear it as a badge of honor. President Donald Trump’s former adviser, Steve Bannon, told French far-right nationalists accused of racism to “wear it as a badge of honor.” Name calling, like swearing loses its’ effectiveness through overuse. Don’t ya know…

If censorship is not an option, SJW’s attempt to destroy the reputation of the speech offender by labeling him a racist, misogynist, creep, bigot, xenophobe, homophobe, or transphobe.

This is one of their most reliable tactics to prime the general public against listening to individuals they don’t like because of the negative weight that such terms still carry. I personally have been called every label under the sun and a site I operate, Return Of Kings, was denounced in mainstream blogs sympathetic to SJW’s and then put on blacklists.

While labels are still effective today, SJW’s are diluting the power of them through overuse.

If the majority of men are decided to be “misogynist,” the general public will become desensitized to hearing it. We are already seeing signs of this whereby SJW’s have to escalate the labels to outright crimes. A tactic I have been seeing lately is accusing men of “sexual harassment,” which is often when a man did nothing more than factually criticize a woman or flirt with her.

Art being used to promote change by busybodies.
Progressive art to make radicalism and change trendy. Listen to me, there is nothing sexy about getting blown up by a grenade.
Even worse, SJW’s have started labeling men as rapists based on anonymous internet allegations, even when the supposed victims never reported the crime to police.

It doesn’t matter that a conviction is not present via due process of law, and “rapist” labels persist against men even when authorities refuse to file charges.

This eradicates the presumption of innocence whereby an individual is innocent until proven guilty, a basic right used since Roman times and included in the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

It’s possible that we may reach a point where all men are presumed to have raped a woman, and when a men says something improper, this label will be used against him to limit his speech.

It’s already happened.

A Busybody is Always Right

There is no doubt about this. Read campusreform if you want a hundred or so examples.

There is no open debate with SJW types. It’s the same with other busybodies of the past like Carry Nation. She was right and there was no argument with her. You’d better watch out, or she’d pull a hatchet out on you.

One of the foremost characteristics of a busybody is that there do not like to debate, discuss or talk about things. They just end up yelling and screaming rehearsed and memorized mantras at the top of their lungs. Really, it is like a five year old child who can’t have a lollypop.

Busybodies are so silly.

Roosh continues…

Another feature of the SJW is their total unwillingness to engage in a civilized one-on-one debate instead of mob action through what they call “campaigns” or “pressure groups.”

Unable to take criticism or consider factual evidence, a lone SJW will respond to having her arguments defeated by playing the victim card (“Stop attacking me!”, “Stop triggering me!”, “Stop shaming me!”) or engaging in one of numerous argumentative fallacies.

These tactics are used to buy time before fading back into the power and safety of her large mob group.

SJW’s avoid engaging in debate because they do not have the logical tools that an objective discussion requires.

If your beliefs are held together by subjectivity, feelings, and the perceived worth of an individual based on an imaginary scale of privilege, it would be impossible for you to debate someone else who uses facts.

The lack of educational rigor in SJW communities means they are more comfortable re-blogging content on Tumblr or sharing funny images than sifting through scientific data to find proof of what they claim.

On university campuses, it’s common for SJW’s to obstruct speakers they can not defeat with facts.

To some observers, this behavior may resemble a child putting his fingers in his ears and yelling as loud as he can. They have no choice but to silence someone else’s speech because their own speech can not properly counter arguments that go against their world view. They simply don’t have the intellectual rigor to do so.

All the reader need do is watch videos of SJW in public.  There are many examples of this.

SWJ in China compared to those in America.
SWJ is not about what they talk about. They are following the same formula. It is the overthrow of the status quo by powerful interested people who wish to remain hidden.

No Morality

A life without morals is a life living as a wild animal.

Which is one of the benefits that I had living in a Catholic “God fearing” household. We were taught morals, and rules of behavior. We learned what right and wrong was. Not today. Now the SJW can say that anything they don’t like is wrong. Likewise, anything that they actually like is right.  It is all arbitrary.

Here is what Roosh thinks;

Thanks to the subjectiveness of their ideology, SJW’s lack morality or virtue. The reason this is a feature and not a bug to the SJW is because accumulated knowledge, morals, and wisdom of the past was developed and promoted by white men, who are seen as the harbingers or pain and doom to the classes that they want to protect.

Even if Aristotle, Seneca, Marcus Aurelius, Thomas Aquinas, or Henry David Thoreau had valuable wisdom that continues to help how millions of people live today, the information derived from their work must be completely discarded since they were white men.

Since white men were at the forefront of advancing humanity for the past several centuries, especially after the decline of the Egyptian, Persian, Mongol, and Ottoman empires, this precludes the bulk of moral guidance that we can use to determine right and wrong.

SJW’s invent their own moral code but it is often based on what they are upset about in the present moment. It does not serve as a guide for more than a month or two, suggesting that their book of code would have to be written in pencil.

The biggest exception I’ve found to their discrimination against white men is Steve Jobs, inventor of the iPhone, a gadget that SJW’s prefer to use. The irony of this is that SJW’s are against “greedy” capitalism in favor of socialism or communism, but iPhones are made with low-cost labor in Asia where some workers have committed suicide in the very factories the phones are produced because of horrid working conditions. SJW’s are capable of applying blind spots to their most cherished ideals so that their consumer lifestyle is not inconvenienced.

SJW’s don’t believe in god, have no belief in the heterosexual nuclear family as the principal unit of human organization, and have no sense of local community as opposed to ones that exist solely on the internet.

Instead of reading historical texts for guidance, they read Huffington Post, Buzzfeed, and Reddit.

A significant amount of them gets their information from image-based memes that they share enthusiastically on Imgur and Facebook.

They are pagans who worship women, minorities, homosexuals, and other non-capitalistic or non-Catholic features of humanity. Since their belief system is based on trends and feelings, an SJW will display rapidly shifting thought from one month to the next depending on what is “hot” or not in SJW discussion forums.

As of late, homosexuality—an alternative lifestyle at best and the disseminator of HIV at worst—seems to be the centerpiece of their activism, especially as the homosexual marriage issue has become suddenly more urgent in America in the past five years.

Some predict that the bulk of their activism will now move onto transsexuality, and one must wonder how the movement will handle so many fringe groups that are angling for least privileged status.

They don’t read. They don’t know history. They are enraptured in the present and enraptured with the artificial world as spoon-fed to them by the propagandized media.

Busybodies are Mentally ill

Evidence does seem to point to the idea that busybodies are mentally ill to one degree or another.  We know that Carry Nation was traumatized when she lost her personal slaves, and then had to move to a small house many miles away. We know that she married a man who did not treat her like she expected to be treated…

Which leads me to ask, what does a pampered Southern Belle who lost all of her personal slaves expect to be treated in the post-Civil War reconstruction period?

Ah, life was not as she expected it to be. And this caused some very interesting actions by her. Of which some were combative and argumentative. These are sure fire signs of mental illness. Roosh says it quite clearly…

Many SJW’s readily admit to serious mental illness and being bullied or mocked as a kid.

They have gone on to be bullies themselves on the internet, a platform where physical strength, courage, or defined identity is not needed to be an effective activist.

Even though they are confused about how to live their own lives thanks to the lack of values they possess, and many deal with suicide, cutting, or other mental issues that prevent them from reading certain articles without a “trigger warning” to act as a disclaimer to reality, they have no problem telling society how to live.


It’s unclear why they respond to their life problems in such a manner instead of seeking professional help or reading self-help, but we can speculate that they seek to control others to compensate for the lack of control they have in their own lives.

SJWism is a form of treatment to their problems because they can focus on the perceived problems of other people instead of their own.

A common problem SJW’s have is confusion about their own sexual identity or outright biological sex.
Most of them find out about SJWism when they are in their teen years and not yet absolutely certain of their sexual preference. Once exposed to SJW writing that presents the theory that two sexes don’t exist, proven biology is wrong, and that you are free to place yourself on a kaleidoscope of gender including multiple kinds of homosexuality and transsexuality, the newly SJW activist mixes and matches her sexual identity to seek approval within her new group.

Mental illness struck SWJ’s early in their life. They never had the opportunity to grow up properly. They are like a stunted plant that will never bear good fruit.

SJW’s have invented new sexes and sexual preferences, the most popular of which being pansexual, the definition of which can vary depending on which SJW you ask but which comes close to bisexuality.

Other inventions include polysexuality, genderqueer, pangender, skoliosexual, and the most curious one of all which assumes a new mammalian life form that science has yet to describe—trigender.

While many of their members are plain vanilla heterosexual, they despise any sexuality or behavior that comes from the straight male.

A male is someone exhibiting offensive privilege when he rates a girl on her attractiveness, exhibits a preference for thin women, or flirts with a woman he wants to have sex with, but when a woman does the same things, she is making an empowered display of her sexuality and must therefore be encouraged.

The male sex drive is considered dangerous and oppressive to women but the female sex drive is wonderful, natural, and deserving of firm praise.

It’s worth noting that some in the SJW community believe that all penis-in-vagina sex is rape, even when the sex is consensual.

Masculinity exhibited by men is dangerous and criminal, but masculine behaviors in women (cutting their hair short, becoming burly in body size, cursing, sexually pursuing other women) are promoted. Again, this highlights the subjectivity and inequality of SJW thought.

Oh Roosh is quite blunt. However, can you really argue with his points? Have you been paying attention to the cultural collapse in the United States? Busybodies don’t get that way by living in a nice and healthy environment. They get that way after being hurt and emotionally damaged while their self-image is still under formation.

SWJ in America compared to China.
SWJ is not about what they talk about. They are following the same formula. It is the overthrow of the status quo by powerful interested people who wish to remain hidden.

How did they become a powerful force?

Today they are a powerful force. Their rise came about during the Obama administration, and the organization and implementation of their belief structures is most certainly curious. I suppose that there are many others who have documented this rise.  It is certainly interesting. Indeed, how does any busybody become a powerful force?

Obvious it is NEVER a “grass roots” organization. It needs direction from a skilled community organizer, and funding from a group of large wealthy donors. It needs objectives and a long term strategy. These truths are obvious.

In America today, someone and something is instigating the overthrow of the core American values to replace it with a dictatorship  disguised as a social utopia.

We can only speculate why an ideology that is so removed from science and Western values has established roots in America. One theory is that their ideology is soma for confused people who have been disappointed in life or have failed in achieving their goals.

It’s easy for these sub-performers to flock to an ideology that says, “You failed because you were held down by the white patriarchy, who still maintains invincible privilege and is robbing you of your daily bread and happiness.”

Sounds like “The Wave” experiment, doesn’t it? Yeah, I wouldn’t be too surprised.

Obviously, it’s a much easier job to blame others or play the victim card than to solve the individual problems of your life.

Hard work is not as valued in today’s society as in the past, so when you give someone a choice between expending effort on one hand to complaining and mob bullying on the other, it’s not hard to see how many (as in millions of people) pick the latter option. It’s also more satisfying to their egos from a power standpoint.

That leads to the question of why straight white males become a part of the SJW movement, since it would be similar to a Jewish person joining the Nazis. Most of these men are shy with low confidence and low muscle mass. They have social anxiety issues and simply want to be part of a co-ed group that increases their access to women. It turns out that white men are carrying the water of SJW’s who would denounce them in a second all for the hopes of getting sex.

The male sex drive is so strong that a man is willing to throw his entire race and sex under the bus in order to possibly fornicate with a woman.

Even though men are usually the targets of SJW’s, it is not uncommon for them to turn on their own. For example, if a white woman, a protected group in SJW ideology, offends a transsexual, who is more protected on the privilege scale, SJW’s may attack the white woman, even if they may have defended her previously (this happened with Laci Green, a protected feminist who once used the word “tranny” and was threatened with death by transsexual SJW’s). Since SJW’ism is so subjective, at whim to constantly shifting winds, an SJW who is on the right side of SJW thought today may find themselves on the wrong side tomorrow.

Now Roosh has a tendency to be rather blunt. I think that there is an element of this in all males, and indeed we all go a little nuts when we fall in love with a lovely lady. However, this point and belief of his might be a little more extreme than I wish to sign on to.

My point is that a nation must protect it’s own people. America is not doing so. It permits these crazy people to go disrupt the social fabric of the nation. Many Americans bash China, most especially Conservatives do. They shouldn’t. China is doing things right. When someone tries to attack the nation, they go after them.

You cannot hide in another nation and attack Chinese people

What do SJW’s want to achieve?

For most of them, they don’t know.

They are lashing out at everything and everyone. The more evil amongst them have conspired and have put forth plans and goals. (With a significant profit motive, of course.)  I don’t know what their goals are. Roosh has some ideas, however…

Their goal is power and domination over the Western cultural narrative to manufacture a consensus that is aligned with their extreme far-left ideology.

Since their ideas are so far removed from science, logic, and rationale, this requires a complete control of information to disseminate their immoral world view along with the complete silencing of those who contradict them.

It is not clear what their end game is when it comes to the white men who they believe are a bane to planet Earth, but it’s not a stretch to predict violence in the future assuming their mobs grow in size, anger, and power, which would put them close to being classified as terrorists according to the FBI.

Currently their main strategies are bullying, spreading propaganda, and censoring opponents.

A growing way they have been accomplishing this goals is by installing SJW activists in prominent institution and communities.

Many are now active moderators on popular forums, leaders in campus groups, tenured professors, or popular bloggers and entertainers who have huge audiences they spread SJW propaganda to.

Some SJW’s, like Zoe Quinn, simply achieved prominent status by having heterosexual sex with men who have access to information that they want to modulate.

Since most feminists, progressives, and liberals are sympathetic to the SJW cause, it’s easy to see how they have reached a stunning amount of influence in America to spread their message.

SJWs are a threat to Western values

They, like their historical counterparts, are a danger to society. In their angry march toward radical change, they will destroy things that have endured for centuries.

SJW’s utilize censorship, discriminate against white men, and disagree with basic human rights concerning due process that has existed in the Western legal canon for centuries.

They are against free speech as granted by the US Constitution and don’t believe that all men are created equal.

They disregard science and wrongly apply labels, accusations, and criminal allegations to those who dare cross their path.

They have determined that some groups should be elevated to receive more benefits and speech rights than others, and have been successful in silencing the speech of those whom they disagree with through their internet witch mobs.

They continue to infect every group, platform, and community that they come into contact with.

Their goal is not to add value or to create, but to control the flow of ideas and thereby thought. Their values are opposed to Western values.

SJW ideas have reached a critical mass in America. University students are indoctrinated with progressive thought that is becoming aligned with SJWism, and even students in grade school are becoming exposed to SJW ideas through feminist-friendly teachers who read the same sites as SJW’s.

SWJ's inhabit our college campuses. They don't have to work and they are being raised within a structured nest that permits them to be cultivated as activists.
Infowars covers this subject extensively. The SWJ’s are all out of control, spouting nonsense, and are being indoctrinated into clone-robots to spout nonsense in equal measure while being groomed to become debt-slaves for life. Pretty soon those pretty gals will be putting out for half a bowl of pea soup unless they are careful. (Image source.)

My fear is that their efforts at censorship and cultural domination will become more onerous as they cement positions in prominent media companies, Silicon Valley, universities, and even in politics. If your belief system is against that of SJW’s, it would be prudent to take measures to protect yourself from their witch hunts, because there is no sign that they will be weakening in power anytime soon.

Ben garrison Comic on the SJW
The comic artist Ben Garrison has summarized how “the powers that be” and other aligned agents use the periodic SJW movements for their own purposes. Nicely done, Ben. Nicely done.

They are a nasty group of individuals who have found a way to exert power over others. Here’s some examples;

“Amid a brave new world of sexual consent forms and rage over the "patriarchy," Formula 1 and its FAI ruling body has decided to ban the use of promotional models, known as "grid girls," from its events because they don't "resonate with [the] brand values [of F1] and clearly is at odds with modern day societal norms."

Whose societal norms? Has anyone checked out a college campus lately?”

“LAFAYETTE, Colo. - A Boulder Valley School District teacher now faces child abuse and assault charges for allegedly forcing a child to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance earlier this month, CBS Denver reports. Lafayette police say Karen Smith, a physical education teacher at Angevine Middle School, grabbed a boy by his jacket, lifted him to his feet and took him out of class on February 1. Police were called.”

…and shuts down anything where a Caucasian person would get a lead role. It’s a war on gender, tradition, and white people. It’s Mr. Mao ‘s cultural revolution all over again. Just like the armies during the Chinese “Cultural Revolution”, political SJW agents are all out busy rewriting the English language. It is getting pretty darn ridiculous.

It’s hard to pin a leader for the SJW movement.  It is pretty obvious that it serves only the ruling elite. Though I suppose it could be a number of activist feminists. I suppose that you could lay partial claim that Hillary Clinton is one such leader. She’s something else. Did you know that Hillary Clinton says that Climate Change is sexist?

“It's unclear what responsibilities men will shoulder after the climate catastrophe has arrived in the future envisioned by Clinton.

“I would say that particularly for women, you’re absolutely right, they will bear the brunt of looking for the  food, looking for the firewood, looking for the place to migrate to when all of the grass is finally gone as the desertification moves south and you have to keep moving your livestock for your crops are no longer growing, they’re burning up in the intense heat that we’re now seeing reported across North Africa, into the Middle East, and into India.”

“So yes, women once again, will be the primary…primarily burdened with the problems of climate change."

-Hillary Clinton

Clinton made these remarks during a speech at Georgetown University. Oh, she didn’t stop there, she also griped about how endemic misogyny was responsible for her embarrassing loss to President Donald Trump. Which is (to anyone with a brain bigger than a toads) a continuing practice of never accepting responsibly for her failures. You know, I can see her frustration. She believed that she had successfully rigged the election. Of course she was going to win. She held all the cards.

The pandering is pretty bad. Uh huh.

“The Ruling Elites loves political correctness, for it serves the Elite so well. What is political correctness? Political correctness is the public pressure to conform to "progressive" speech acts by uttering the expected code words and phrases in public.

Note that no actual action is required. This is why the Ruling Elite loves political correctness: conformity is so cheap. All a functionary of the Ruling Elite need do is utter the code words ("hope and change," "we honor diversity," "thank you for your service," etc.) and they get a free pass to continue their pillaging.”

A Modern Busybody

With this in mind, let me present a SJW (Social Justice Warrior) who is hell-bent on enforcing his version of perfection on an unsuspecting public.  Let him be an illustration of the kind of people who possess the destructive behaviors that hurt society.  In their minds they want to “improve” the world, but in all reality, they are just worthless and useless. Do not be like this jackass.

Ah, not all SWJ’s are college students protesting with signs, and putting black masks on their faces. Many hold respectable and responsible positions of power. They campaigned for those positions. They were elected or appointed for those positions, and once in place, they try to make the world a better place based on THEIR ideas of perfection.

Did you know that there is a terrible battle within the state of Wisconsin? It is over how laws are enforced over the quiet people of the Amish religion.

Up to now, they’ve successfully dodged Uncle Sam (the United States government) as they are exempted on religious grounds from a great many “manditory” state and federal laws. These laws include such things as the presence and use of seat belts and child safety seats in all motor vehicles.

Their horse-drawn buggies lack motors, of course, as well as seatbelts and child seats. They don’t have air bags or back-up cameras or tire pressure monitors, either. The Amish don’t believe such things are necessary and therefore do without. They also believe it’s their decision, their business and as such, they just want to go about their business, leave others alone and be left alone in turn. After all, they’re not harming anyone else. And if they harm themselves, the Amish take care of themselves.

It seems reasonable enough.

But not by everyone.  Indeed, there are those who can’t stand FREEDOM and independence.

Let me introduce a SWJ by the name of Bill Winch. (He should win the “Asshole of the Year” award.) He is a member of the Wisconsin Rapids Board of Supervisors. He is a perfectionist. He is a busybody. He uses whatever power he can wield to implement his vision of perfection. In regards to the Amish, who live NEAR (not IN) his community, he believe that he can tell them how to live their lives. He does not think the Amish ought to be exempted from anything . Anything, including other laws requiring driver’s licenses and mandatory insurance.

He has proposed a new law precisely to that effect.

SWJ's want to change the life of everyone, including people who live far away form them. These are people that they never meet nor interact with.
Amish buggy and horses riding peacefully in the rural back roads of America. They will not be able to much longer, if the SWJ busybody assholes have any say in the matter. (Image source.)

Winch goes further. The buggies of the Amish should also be fitted with automotive safety glass, windshield and side glass. It does not matter what it costs the Amish and how impractical it is to install such things in a horse-drawn buggy. In his mind, there should be rear view mirrors that must be electrically heated (so they don’t fog up). Speaking of fog, of course the buggies must have fog lamps, and a backup alarm.

After all, no one wants to get crushed by a horse drawn buggy backing up! The list goes on and on. Why not include anti-lock brakes, GPS tracking, and mandatory safety seats for young children?

For their safety. Of course.

Their horse-drawn buggies should also be required to have headlights and turn signals. The argument goes; just like everyone else’s car. If this requires expense, so be it. And new buggies manufactured after a certain date surely ought to be required to have at least driver and front seat passenger air bags and comply with some sort of government crash test regime.

I can see it now; a test in a government testing facility where a horse races towards a brickwall. Slams into it, and the flight of the “crash test dummies” is recorded in slow motion.

Think of it. It’s necessary! Lord only knows the danger that might befall the passenger of a horse-drawn buggy were he to go speeding and run his team of horses into a cinderblock wall! Safety glass, airbags, seatbelts, child-restraining devices, electronic auto-locking buggy doors, all needs to be included in all horse-drawn buggies. Of course, they will have to be tested, and inspected yearly… at a cost. You know the drill…

…to pay various fees to the government. For the children… don’t you know?

Additionally, Amish teenagers must not be allowed to “operate” a buggy until they have attained a certain government prescribed age, and then only when accompanied by an adult, and never accompanied by other teens, unsupervised. There will need to be a special type of license. One that you get after you can prove that you can operate a standard automobile.

Logically according to this SJW busybody, as a matter of principle, either all of us and not just the Amish should be left in peace to go about our business or no one should be left in peace. It’s all or nothing.

Why should the claim of the Amish that seatbelts and insurance and all the rest are against their Rights, be any different than what other claim? Why should it be different than a Libertarian who sees no need for the government to tell him how to sit in his car? Or the Christian who refuses to bake a cake, simply because they don’t want to?

Why should the government dictate anything… anything at all unless it is specifically specified within the Constitution?

So, here we are.  Either, [1] Winch is absolutely correct. Or [2] he is a consistent authoritarian control freak. You know, like those elected to Washington. (After all, how could you explain 30, 40, and 50 year’s terms of office for multi-millionaires in the Senate? You can’t, unless you classify them as control freaks that love power.)

BTW. As an aside. The argument is that you have to have an amendment to limit the terms for someone to serve in the Senate or in Congress. I propose something simpler. Any public official who has diminished faculties due to age, or in possession of a age-related illness (such as dementia) shall be removed from office. Simple, huh?

The Amish, no matter how pious, are not immune to the forces of nature.

If an Amish buggy driver wrecks his buggy, he might be injured just like anyone else. And if he is not buckled up , if his buggy lacks shatterproof automotive safety glass , his injuries could be more severe than would otherwise have been the case. Undeniable facts of physics.

There are those that believe that it is role of government to tell people how to live their lives. They believe that the government’s role is as a parent that oversees lesser people.

Amish people have accidents just like everyone else does.
Amish road accident. Would any kind of modern safety equipment have prevented this accident? How would the lives of the Amish and those around them be improved? What is the benefits and cost benefits?

So why should the Amish, but not the rest of us, get a break?

Why should they get to live a simple, unencumbered, exempted life? What makes them so very special? Why are they free? Why are they free of not just government busybodyism but also the financial pressure of having to constantly earn money in order to pay for all that busybodyism?

The Amish man can farm his land. He can raise his crops. He doesn’t have to worry about coming up with thousands of dollars every year to pay for mandatory this and tax that. He deoesn’t have to worry about Social Security and Obamacare taxes. Or air bags and seat belts and back-up cameras and shatterproof safety glass. He has no dealings with the DMV.

This makes him a very free man.

Which is very unfair to the rest of us. It is an outrage! No one should be free in the United States.  We all must follow the rules set forth by our leadership. The Amish are, indeed, throwbacks

If the rest of us can’t be free, well neither should the Amish..

It’s not just because of their buggies and beards. They are living fossils of a species almost extinct: The Free Man. They’re not interested in your goods and don’t want to control your life. If you’re interested in their lifestyle, you’re free to emulate it and even to become Amish, if that is your desire. In return, the Amish only ask that you leave them free to be Amish. Let them live their lives their way.

But that is too much to ask for busybodies like Bill Winch.

Democrat Busybodies

Well, I do hope that [1] I have managed to express my belief that there are busybodies in this world. I hope that [2] my explanation as to how they became busybodies, and [3] why they are still busily being busybodies makes some degree of sense. I also provided [4] contemporaneous examples of busybodies who are all trying to enforce their version of “who knows what” on an asleep public.  I have [5] quoted from Roosh, who tends to be much more radical than myself. Yet, he has made some good points, even if it makes some people uncomfortable. (That’s how you grow don’t you know.)

Now, I want to take a moment to get to the heart of this matter and address why this post was written in the first place.

Being a busybody can be enormously profitable.

Which of course is why American Democrats are all, without ANY exception, involved in being a busybody. They can make money! In fact, by latching on the right cause, they can become enormously wealthy! All they need to do is find someone willing to pay them cash in exchange for them for implementing unpopular laws.

You can boss people around AND get paid for it at the same time! Imagine that!

Democrats want to Ban (or Control) Everything

You know, how can I possibly write anything without offending someone? I really do not know if it is possible?  Yet the truth is the truth.

What is their friggin’ problem?

Well, there is [1] a part of me that wants to believe that they are well intentioned, but think that everyone else is stupid. That belief is one where they believe that they are better, smarter, and greater than everyone else. (Sound like an SJW? Hum?)

Then, [2] there is a part of me that believes the truth; that there is a money angle involved. Some business, or foreign nation, comes to the representative and pitches a new law or two. In exchange for the promotion of that law, the represent can get a huge sum of money. This sum of money might be public (like a campaign slush fund) or private (as in a brown bag full of cash). As time move on, I am more and more convinced that the reasoning is the latter.

Hey, I grew up in Pennsylvania, and the potholes in the roads are STILL not fixed. You think that it is a minor oversight? Why do you suppose that is the case? Do you think that graft doesn’t exist?

"I believe a self-righteous liberal with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude. "

-Ted Nugent

Anyways here just some of the things that Democrats want to ban. This list includes individuals who are registered as Democrats, as opposed to official policy positions of the DNC. I know it’s an incomplete list, but I don’t have all day, and the point is pretty much being made anyways. Each attempt by Democrats to ban something has a link for verification efforts. I am not making any of this stuff up.

So here it goes;

Hey, is it just me, but has anyone else noticed a trend here?

Busybodies always have a problem.
Busybodies do not realize who and what they are. They justify their behaviors by being righteous and just. They think that they are making the world a better place, and threat they are contributing to society. When the fact is that that are doing none of these things. Instead their ego has taken over and deluded themselves to cover up the fact that they are just horrible, horrible people.

Busybodies always have a reason, a justification or a need to fulfill. When they are children, it is to show just who is better, stronger or more powerful. If they are smart, they become a “know-it-all”. If they aren’t, they become a bully. It is almost always associated with some emotional issue.

Today, as adults the motivations are not so clear and obvious. I personally think that it is more related to them coveting a new mansion or two, myself. Their excuses are pretty much predictable. “It’s for the children.”, or “It’s to put an end to racism.”, or it’s to “make the country safer”, or “it’s to end the divide between one group of the other”. Ugh! Nah. It’s all just bullshit excuses.

I am not the only one who noticed this.

“In fact, you probably did five illegal things before breakfast without having a clue about it, which you'll find out about the moment some liberal decides you have to be put in your place and looks for a way to do it. Liberals control what you eat, what clothes you wear, what TV you watch, what kind of car you drive, what size soda you can drink, and even what toilet or light bulb you can use in your house. Complain about it and you're accused of wanting to end restaurant inspections and safety standards that prevent cars from exploding.”

-John Hawkins

Even my father, who was a life-long staunch Democrat, questioned the actions of these radical progressives. Now that he is dead and buried, I am sure that he will still be voting Democrat, even though, his heart is no longer in it.

LOL!

The truth is plain as the nose on your face. They have no interests for anyone else except themselves. Someone gives them some money, and they use their power and influence to do their donor a favor (or two or three… for a price.) They come up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, but come on… please. It is obvious that they are just busybodies that have found a way to get rich being a stingy busybody. What a racket!

Both Republicans and Democrats are Busybodies

For the sake of fairness, here are some links to things that Republicans want to ban. After all, we should look at the entire picture. Both are busybodies. There is something about about politics that attract busybodies. It is just that Democrats are more active at it. Republicans just act like fat cats in their mansions and collect the money from “donors”. Heh heh…

Republicans want to…

As such, the reader can see that individuals on both “side of the isle” are busybodies. While all the news coverage might give one the idea that Republicans are out to ban everything, and Democrats are opposed to the efforts that is just an illusion. The media has flooded the networks and internet with huge quantities of articles on the same tired subject.

For instance, there might be one hundred thousand articles on Republicans wanting to ban abortions, but only two articles on Democrats trying to ban pickles. It’s all just an illusion.

The truth is that both people are busybodies.

The political party that one ascribes to is just a formality. They just choose the one that has the greatest chance of them getting power. If they think it will be under the “Democrat Flag” then they become Democrats. (Like most politicians in New York City, for example.) If they think that they will have a better chance as a Republican, they become one, yet they will still vote like a Democrat. Good examples of this are John McCain, and Arlen Specter.

As far as being a busybody is concerned, those with a “D” after their name are much more aggressive at it. Those with an “R” after their name have to deal with an enormous media that will make an issue of everything that they do. Combined, this gives everyone a slanted coverage of who these people are and what they are doing.

Obviously, the media is not doing their Constitutional responsibility. But, that is an article for another time…

Obviously, those elected to office isn’t taking their responsibilities seriously either…

Taxing what you can’t ban

When I was compiling this list of things that Democrats want to ban, I can across a smaller, but significant list of things they want to tax. It is almost like “if you cannot ban it, then tax it.” then, if they cannot tax it outright… “rename the tax as a use fee” or some thing similar.  It’s almost like Bizzaro World…

Taxing tap water

 - Never short on ideas for things to tax, lawmakers in New Jersey are considering a tax on tap water.

The proposal is being floated by State Sen. Bob Smith D-Middlesex, who is trying to say it's not actually a tax but a 'user fee'.

"It is a user fee based on volume," Smith told Fox 5's Chasing New Jersey.

What you can do?

Hey, I am always open for new links to things that people are trying to ban. Please collect them and post them here. I will add them to the list.

Many of the things that we deal with now, are the result of an effort by a busybody to ban things. If you the reader have a link to an article regarding this, please post them here. I am really interested in collecting them.

Busybodies and SWJ's have no idea what kind of trouble that they are getting into.
You know, you do not want to mess about with critters who are not afraid to fight. They do not yell, and enjoin in non-combative arguments, they just go lethal from stage one. So while everyone just seems to be tolerating this nonsense, please kindly be advised that the fuse is almost run out and the explosion will get ugly.

For instance, which government official got Jarts banned? Or how about the genius that put those stupid “child protective caps” on pill bottles?  Which official insisted in making analog broadcasting of video television illegal, and forcing digital on us? Who’s great idea was it to make sure that shirts and shoes needed to be worn inside a restaurant?

Heck, you go to another country, and they have none of these bans. Yet, life goes on and people are happy, productive and living life. What is Americas’ malfunction?

Busybodies. Always trying to improve our world. Taking one freedom away at a time.

Conclusions

What is the point of all this?

  1. Busybodies are everywhere.
  2. Crazy / evil people use other people (often young) as tools to further their agendas.
  3. They organize them, finance them, and provide support in terms of media propaganda, and use of aligned confederates.
  4. The agenda is usually towards major changes in society or governance.
  5. The general population is typically slow to react to this type of attack.
  6. When there is eventually a response, the result is typically contentious and disturbing.

We know all of this because it has happened in the past. In fact it has happened over and over in the past. The playbook has not changed, even though certain elements of conflict has advanced technologically.

As such, in China…

  1. China experienced a SWJ event around 1966. This was known as the “Cultural Revolution”. The communist leadership used the movement to control unrest and strengthen it’s power base.
  2. The movement was a disaster, and almost destroyed the nation.
  3. A second movement began in 1997. It was also led by SWJ leadership. It was known as “The Pro-Democracy Movement”.
  4. It was supported and partially financed for powerful non-Chinese forces. They wanted to change the government and leadership of China.
  5. The Chinese government suppressed this activity, and hunted down all the leadership and their followers.
  6. Surviving remnants of the “Pro-Democracy moment”, set up cells within traditional Chinese organizations. Thus the SWJ take over of the “Falun Gong” began.
  7. China suppressed this movement and all elements of it.
  8. Today, China has zero tolerance for any SWJ activity.

Meanwhile in the United States…

  1. Active “Progressive Democratic” / “Socialist” elements have taken over the American political party known as Democrats.
  2. They have infiltrated all levels of society and have virtually full control of most American media outlets, court systems, congress and many support organizations. They operate as a “Deep State”.
  3. They have organized into “movements”. These movements are all SWJ but each has their own objective. They include (unorganized) SWJ, BLM (Black Lives Matter), AntiFa (a socialist organization that advertises itself as anti-Nazi), as well as smaller splinter groups.
  4. There is apparently no action being taken to suppress the activities of thes organizations.

Will we ever get rid of busybodies? Nope. I find it unlikely. However, I do like the Chinese method of controlling busybodies. They put them down humanely. (Three years of organ harvesting, then death. The family is then billed for the cost.) The Chinese society is too large, and too complex to have such interruptions and disruptions. They have well learned from their last mistake when they permitted Chinese SJW’s to run reckless and rampant. It was ugly. As such, it will never be permitted to reoccur.

One can only hope that soon the United States will recognize the kind of threat that busybodies represent before it gets out of hand.

Take Aways

  • Busybodies are everywhere (except in China).
  • Historically, busybodies cause great damage to the societies that they influence.
  • Busybodies are either mentally ill, or are using the venue for selfish purposes.
  • Busybodies hate being called that name. They prefer to be called something like “Hero of the people”.
  • In the United States today, busybodies have organized into two major and aligned groups; the Democrats and the SJW. Other groups include the BLM, Antifa and any organization with the word “democratic” in it.
  • Being a busybody can be profitable, as long as the people are unaware of your intentions.
  • In general, busybodies can become very wealthy at the expense of the destruction of society.
  • Busybodies are not tolerated in China.

FAQ

Q: What freedoms do busybodies restrict?
A: All of them. There are no limits to the restrictions that a busybody can try to limit.

Q: Is America free?
A: America was initially designed to be a place where everyone was free. Over the years, that freedom permitted busybodies to behave badly. In so doing, they started to infringe on the freedoms of others. As a result, over the years, many freedoms have been taken away or severely limited. Today, America is a place where freedom barely limps along.

Q: How does banning something limit freedom?
A: It works like this;

• Freedom is an ability to do what you want.
• A restriction is an inability to do something that you want.
• A ban takes a freedom and turns it into a restriction.

Q: Why do Democrats, and SJW people want to restrict freedoms?
A: They justify their actions in many ways. However, if you tear away all their excuses it boils down to either [1] ignorance though propagandized education, [2] mental illness, or [3] greed.

The person who banned sand on playgrounds did not have a loved one get hurt on sand. The person who banned candles did not have their home damaged by a candle fire. The person who wants to ban motorcycles, doesn’t ride one. The person wanting to  force the Amish to put anti-lock brakes on their horse drawn carriages is neither Amish, nor interacts with any of them.

They often have OTHER REASONS for their actions.

Q: What does SWJ’s have to do with MAJestic?
A: Nothing. It has nothing to do with MAJestic. Our extraterrestrial benefactors couldn’t care less about how we run our lives. Their primary concern is the battle over sentience dominance. The ultimate result of this nursery is to have one primary sentience for humans so that we can evolve into an approved archetype. Until that happens, we will remain segregated in this nursery.

Q:Why all this talk about China and Busybodies?
A: In the United States, the media and the Internet is all “lit up” over the SWJ phenomenon. Yet, it is all either cheering on the SWJ’s or reporting with prejudice. No one is discussing what to do about these people, the forces behind all the terror, and what laws or rules would be best served to control those trying to turn society on its’ head. No one seemingly know what to.

Yet, China had this experience in the past. The first time was 1966, and the people and the government stood by and let it run it’s course and the nation almost collapsed as a result. Then, in 1989 it reoccurred again. This time, China knew what to do and took steps to suppress all the chaos.

America, and the American citizens are different from the Chinese. Yet in many ways we are very similar. Rather that sitting alone in our own propaganda-filled “fake news” echo chamber, Americans should look at China and copy their very effective techniques. As I stated previously, China does not mess around.

Felons in China.
Prisoners in China. No easy life for those whom violate the laws in China. Perhaps there are things that the United States can learn from China. China is many things, but you cannot say that it is not trying to take care of it’s own people. The Chinese monitor and police society to make life better for it’s citizens.

Notes

  1. First draft 12MAR18.
  2. Double-checking the people who were banning the items required some effort. It turns out that most articles did not state the political alignments of the people who were involved with the ban. Therefore, I would need to go find out the actual individuals involved, if the articles did not specify them, and then research what their political policy alignments were. Obviously, this took a long time. This particular article was first drafted in 2013 and resided in an “active” folder for years until I repurposed the information towards a blog post.
