Between the Lines #4 [Misanthropy]

EMT suspended for trying to save choking girl 

 "was suspended because it is against company policy to make a stop without being called."

A number of things come to mind as we read past the headlines, and these are the kind of questions left unaddressed by the report.

1. Is not being recognizable as an emergency vehicle an invitation to  being flagged down on street for an unofficial call?
2. Is not an unofficial call -- lacking paper work but still one made because you are recognized as an official emergency agent -- still a call?
3. Is not a trained EMT professional really a kind of officer, and has been trained to make executive decisions in triage situations?
4. Is there a concern by the company that there might be legal ramifications arising from an unofficial call and could be financially ruinous for them?
5. Precisely due to such concerns, are there not good Samaritan laws on the books to protect them and their employee?
6. If not, why not?

If the legal system is ready and willing to allow people to die because all the I's are not dotted and the T's are not crossed, is this not another example of how the sanctity of human life is given second place to such things as legal niceties and financial worries?

As the reader who tipped me to this story opined:  "our society is going to hell."

While it is true that the ever more present misanthropy we find in our legal system may not have been planned to be that way, the number of "leaders" who are trying to prevent reform legislation appear to be able to control the majority of votes in state and federal legislatures.

One thing is for certain: those who believe that the planet is overpopulated are thrilled by stories such as this because it threatens all those -- such as the majority of EMT personnel --  who still exhibit basic human decency.

Between the Lines #3 [Flawless Women]

What do we read between the lines when Glamour Magazine pronounced Bruce Caitlyn (whatever) Jenner Woman of the Year?

• Well, he "she" doesn't have to menstruate once a month.
• S/he doesn't have to endure the often terrible cramps associated with that biological function.
• S/he will never experience the hormonal swings, some debilitating,  that many women have to endure.
• S/he will never complain about or be condescended to due his her suffering from PMS.
• S/he will not have to endure all the complications associated with menopause.
• And finally, s/he will never have to worry about a potentially cancerous fibroid turning up in her uterus such as the one that killed my wife 12 months after it turned up in stage 4 bleeding.

In fact, I'd say it was a safe bet that the most glamorous women you've ever met would never call any of these specifically womanly traits glamorous.

So clearly what we read between the lines at Glamour Magazine is that its judges have had an epiphany. Because GM is certain Jenner cannot be troubled by a single one of these unglamorous womanly issues, s/he must be a superior woman, and thus worthy to be called Glamorous Woman of the Year.

Between the Lines #2 [Cashing In On AGW]

From the news of "Monster" and "Worst Storm Evah" Hurricane Patricia.

The clock is ticking up to the moment that Mexico sues the United States for the damages caused by the hurricane.

The stage has already been set by the Progs and their climate fraudsters that American prosperity is the cause of greater and greater storms.

The thinking man will be wondering if this worst storm is really the worst on record because of all the lies about last summer being the hottest on record (when there's been no warming for nearly 2 decades). Alas, we know the SSM is not heeding the thinking man, and indeed is seeking to have him prosecuted.

That's what you can expect from reading today's headlines and reflecting back on all the CAGW staged preparations that preceded it.

Between the Lines #1 [Treason]

How often have you heard a conservative talk show host declare something is a conspiracy?

Well, I just heard it on one of their shows.

On Hugh Hewitt of all places. Early in the first hour of his Oct 22, 2015 show.

What I heard was a report of the Benghazi hearing by Hewitt’s guest whose name I didn’t catch.

What he said was approximately this:

‘there was clearly a conspiracy between DOS and the WH to deny that Benghazi was a terrorist attack so as not to undermine Obama’s reelection narrative that Al Qaeda was on the run.’

[Anyone can capture this comment from a podcast it will verify what I heard. I don’t know if there is a free one and I won’t pay that hack to hear his show. If a reader can capture it I will add it to this post. Thanks.]


Hewitt didn’t call him a conspiracy nut like his colleague Medved likes to do most every day. He accepted it and engaged him in further discussion.

Reading between the lines I get the following.

What I think this open talk of a conspiracy does, however, is deflect from the thought of the deeper conspiracy. The one that might come to wider attention but for the notable lack of more probing questions such as

“What happened to over 1000 of Gaddafi’s ManPADs?” and
“Where does intelligence say some turned up?” and
“Why exactly was Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi in the first place?”

Conspiracy to gain election seems to be accepted as par for the course in America today, at least when the Dems are caught at it. What felonious conduct?

But conspiracy to commit treason rises to another level entirely. So don’t expect your favorite conservative talkshow host to call that one out.

Thinking Beyond the Trump Headlines

Billionaire Donor: Rand Paul 'Alienated Anti-Establishment Voters' by Attacking Donald Trump

Rand Paul, like his father before him, is hardly a politician. We know that mainly because he's more apt to take a hard stance that his loyal followers adore but is not pleasing to a wider number of voters. But being a politician also implies that a man running to earn votes has the ability to assess a challenge for the loyalty of his followers. He senses he needs to find a way to work in stream with the challenge and to wait for a better opportunity to gain advantage. This headline shows how he's not even that much of a politician.

While "he's not like other politicians" is one of the things that has long made Paul attractive to Anti-establishment voters, it happens to be a glaring weakness when a Donald Trump comes along.

Trump came along and stole the Anti-Establishment baton from all other Republican (the alleged party of constitutionally constrained government) candidates in the field. It has been mostly the poor politician who lost ground. A better politician would welcome the newcomer to the cause (the anti-DC craze) and still keep himself relevant.

Ted Cruz, by comparison, has avoided the pitfall of a headline like this because he is a politician. And it appears that Ben Carson, while a political novice, has at least a politician's grasp of how not to alienate the one set of voters (other than the radical Left) who are most energetically involved in the politics of our time.


Donald Trump's great appeal to the Anti-DC base has been to say what is pleasing to their ear -- especially when he says things that they know that others are not nearly so bold to say loudly or even at all.


Many people opine how there's a reasonable chance that Trump is a stalking horse for the Clintons. How? He's running for the GOP nomination, not the Democratic one, right?

But what is even more important to the primaries is that there is even a greater chance that he's a stalking horse for sucking up air time for seemingly* principled conservatives: those who claim to defend against the growth of power centralized in Washington DC as the constitution was intended to do before the esquire-class nibbled away on DC's constraints.

If Donald Trump's message can drown out the messages of more principled candidates who hold views similar to the ones he gets applause for, and the GOP winds up nominating some milquetoast Prog Republican like McCain and Romney again, then his candidacy will have served as a stalking horse not only for party failure again, but more importantly for failure of reforming government that's grown too large and lawless. And it will then be no wonder, after the fact, why the SSM did its part to have aided his domination of air time and print columns.

But by then it will be too late to comprehend that the SSM would provide such a man (Trump or another possible pied piper) large gobs of free publicity, even if much of it is derogatory. When everyone is talking about Trump, who has time to left to discuss in depth -- give proper scrutiny to -- other Anti-Establishment candidates?

That is the hidden lesson to learn from this headline. The SSM is glad to help undermine any and all anti-Establishment types until there are none. Rand Paul did this to himself. The ways SSM will target the others remain to be seen. “We must all hang together or we will all hang separately.” (Ben Franklin.)

It's up to the rest of us who understand the threat to pass along this skepticism to others. I think a large number of us already are questioning why the media gives so much time to Trump. It's up to us to keep that question alive until the time for voting in the primaries has passed. If nothing else we need to see to it that the current domination of Trump does not lead to a GOPe getting the nomination and another Rat getting into the oval office.


---------------------
* The only reason I sound skeptical about the commitment of such conservatives is that I've lived too long not to be. It's one of the reasons I feel obligated to write warnings such as this. I don't need a 1955 university class in political science to have earned that skepticism: I earned it the hard way. There was a time that a politician who transgressed even a small promise could be embarrassed into altering course, or at least appear to alter course. But almost all politicians now are shameless (see my permanent assessment at the top right of this blog). For example, recall what Mitch McConnell promised Kentucky voters in his 2014 run for reelection ("we will defund obamacare" at the top) and his complete reversal the very day he knew he'd won. Or in 2010 what John McCain promised Arizona voters about his position on the border and how he betrayed their trust shortly after winning.

 I fear the 2015 variety political science class is far too biased against having skepticism of rapidly expanding government. Consequently I imagine I'm writing to a small audience in large part because the potentially larger audience has been trained to turn a deaf ear to the sort of warning I'm offering. Anyway, that's why I recommend, when saying good things about anyone running for public office, always modify principled with allegedly. It implies that I like the talk: now show me the walk.

It's the AGW Scammers Who Are the Deniers

To keep the scam running they deny all evidence that contradicts their "theory." How you can prove that it's a scam is laid out below.  

When the proponents of anthropocentric climate change resolutely refuse to look at evidence that undermines their "theory,"  what you are witnessing is the rankest violation of the scientific method (a theory, however respected, becomes a failed hypothesis when contradicted by new evidence.)

It reveals that the proponents of the AGW theory are engaging in a sham at the best, and at worst are running out a monumental scam that, if left unchecked, can't help but lead to misery for uncountable millions of people (a goal that is even embraced by its proponents, so much so that they are indoctrinating our young into believing that such a future is their duty).

By extension, the continuation of this project appears to be leading to the deaths of billions of people by any means necessary. (Here's the latest on that score. Hat tip to Doug Evans by way of Alec Satin It's another example that what we are fighting is nothing less than a neopagan belief system that's quickly become an undeclared Nationally funded religion that runs contrary to the Judeo-Christianity upon which the nation was founded, and is about as fundamentally unconstitutional as any Federal action can get.)

When one couples this with the coincident political behavior of the rest of the Progs — their fomenting, fostering and protecting of cruel Islamic death cults world wide — we see that the Establishment's pattern of behavior is very consistent.

The following is only one example of a denier. While I've seen it many more times than this. this is the first time I've seen it in Congressional hearings (exposing the shamelessness of most other congressmen). Just in case it disappears from Youtube, it's title is "Sen. Cruz Questions Sierra Club President Aaron Mair on Climate Change."

After you hear Mr. Mair repeatedly say “We concur with the 97 percent scientific consensus with regards to global warming,” you must know that he is either a man fearful of running afoul of the scammers who fund his organization and pay his salary, or is a scammer himself.

Whichever he is, his position is the exact opposite of scientific. Relying upon a consensus of scientists that is 18 years old to justify new legislation while refusing to look at the new data — some provided even by scientists that comprised that consensus — is nonsense, is not science, and therefore must be driven by other forces not yet wishing to expose themselves.

Indeed, Mr. Mair's broken-record responses to all questions is reminiscent of the testimony by communist sympathizers in the HUAC hearings of the 1950s: "I refuse to answer on the grounds it might incriminate me."

What do Mr. Mair and countless others have to hide? When one peels away at that onion, more and more hideous things are exposed. Over the years I've exposed many of them elsewhere on this blog. Use the labels below to find a few. (I'm not the only one to have done this; but I may be the one who does it most consistently. G-d: I hope I'm wrong.)

Updates with links providing additional cause for concern.

• “Judges Plan to Outlaw Climate Change ‘Denial’ Debunkers” : wherein the scammers feel the need to protect themselves by outlawing any and all who might undermine their schemes. Essentially outlawing the scientific method so it can't be used to expose them. 

• "I dream of a world where the truth is what shapes people's politics, rather than politics shaping what people think is true." — Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) January 24, 2015 : wherein a Sustainability priest preaches his "truth." The rotten irony is that this scientist has purloined the very words of those who actually use the scientific method (the same people the judges above wish to outlaw). This Sus priest-celebrity has the advantage because he has been provided the bigger bully-pulpit. He is paid by the SSM to endlessly repeat his dogma, and his words then are used to indoctrinate new true believers and to bestow a glow of saintliness on the priest. Some merely charge him with colossal failure of self-awareness. In my opinion they in turn fail to see the gain for the priest in preempting his opponents. Many more naive will fall to the confidence men — "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." (Matt 7:15) — wherever the defenders of truth are short-sighted or fail to fight back against the schemers with full force.

Climate change denial IS far worse than Holocaust denial.

One Response to “Salon: ‘Climate change denial is actually much worse than Holocaust denial’; How About ‘Climate holocaust co-conspirator’?”

1. Pascal on 13/13/15 at 7:08 pm

   It’s TRUE. Climate change denial IS worse than Holocaust denial.
   Those International Socialists who insist on denying the evidence that AGW is a fraud are hell bent on reducing the planet’s population down to 500 million from 7 billion. I think denying that that is their goal is far worse than their denying that 6 million Jews were killed by National Socialism.
   
   Jews have been declared the canaries in the coal mine for very good reason.
   

High Risk Exposure of Our Corrupt Political Class

I have been pained by Ted Cruz. That is because I get the sense that he's intended to be a lone and isolated voice.

It could very well be his job with the Establishment to demoralize all those who hold the principled stands that favor the American constitution that he has spoken of often.

And in this latest speech on the Senate floor, he lashes out at the business as usual McConnell and company.

One of the things he says today I have repeatedly said about seated establishment republicans (SKUNCs on this blog but called RINOs almost everywhere else).

SKUNCs will attack true conservative Republicans with a level of vitriol that they would never use on a Democrat.

Meet Another Fighter of the Sus Worshipers

Thanks to our friend Ed, I was made aware of another man, Alec Satin, who is fighting the Sustainability worshipers.

The idea of destroying large groups of people is nothing new. Stalin killed 20 million. Mao killed 40 million. It shouldn’t surprise you that there are people on earth right now who want to kill you. To a spiritual eugenicist, you are part of a less-evolved humanity which is no longer needed. You are a burden on the limited resources of the earth.

The morality of genocide

There is always a kind of false religion involved in mass murder. Eugenicists and transhumanists have a fanatic drive to advance evolution through science. Homo Sapiens must yield to Homo Noeticus who will be the true Aryan übermensch. By definition this means that the old man must make way for the new. -- The slow purge

Read the whole thing because he includes many more bits of evidence.

I responded to him mostly as follows (but now edited of typos and to improve clarity).

In 2006, after years of vacillation, I finally laid out  what I observed as compelling many people seated at the highest levels of government influence to hate the Judeo-Christian moral code. [An non-archived version that still accepts comments is here.] You [Alec] have almost stated how deeply seated the hatred is.

Here’s a short peek.

In the enemy’s camp are people who have been convinced through indoctrinating propaganda that the enemy’s view is inevitable, that at some point the planet must run out of resources and there is no way to recover them. So they go along as true believers.

Therefore those who have faith that G_d will always provide for his creatures have a major battle on their hands. The reason is the faithful will be largely battling people whose moral code is (they believe) selflessly based (saving humanity from itself) but lacking their faith (in G_d, or in words understood by optimistic non-faithful, the intelligence that nature gives many men to solve difficult problems). The ancient Sophists' word for  the true-believers was casuists. But the real enemy is the sophists -- those who employ specious reasoning for selfish ends. They are expert in the methods of exploiting well-intentioned people for nefarious gain. It is as at least as old as the time of Socrates who fought them and lost. The enemy has had long practice at this game and we have not.

Who can be saved and who must be fought and how to do it is the question the faithful must face. I do know that it is a sin -- falling far short of our commitments -- to allow the lies to accumulate and manifest into the megalomaniacal forces that are getting ever stronger. Yet large numbers of the faithful still turn their backs on the information you have reported today and against which I and others have fought for decades.

How deeply embedded is the enemy?

A statement that Pope Francis made in Bolivia in July, "we are not yet tearing one another apart" is hideous in its denial of three types of mayhem and murder currently afoot globally, was praised  by Bernie Sanders who exploits it in an advertisement for his campaign for president. It touches a subject that I've been laying out since the monstrous Planned Parenthood videos first surfaced. The Lord give me strength, I hope to complete it later today.

A wonderful insight and a related observation

Wow.

‘..The big stuff, wars, moon landings, civilizations, doesn’t matter. Everything has been reduced to the lowest common denominator of personal insecurities masquerading as politics and entertainment reduced to fame for fame’s sake celebrities. All of it is calculated to match the workday routine of a twenty-something female college graduate working in media. Because that is mostly who writes it.
…Our enemies have set out big goals. We must set out bigger ones. We must become more than conservatives. If we remain conservatives, then all we will have is the America we live in now. And even if our children and grandchildren become conservatives, that is the culture and nation they will fight to conserve. We must become revolutionaries. We must think in terms of the world we want. Not the world we have lost.’

Daniel Greenfield

H/T Crusader Rabbit.

That’s an orthodox Jew perspective if I’ve ever seen one and it’s one of the best things to learn from the faith: it fully recognizes the hegemony of Natural Law so a reader doesn’t even have to be of their faith.

It reminds us that Abraham himself was a revolutionary.

Too bad his seed had so much in-fighting, usually involving jealousies and covetousness.

Ike hated by Ish, Jake hated by Esav, Joe hated by his bros, the Israelites hated by the Amalekites, set the pattern that is merely a repetition of what is endemic in the whole of the human race.

The last commandment, thou shalt not covet, were it strictly adhered to, would likey lead to the end of war.

People who admire others and don’t covet what the others have or can do are usually the most productive and loving people I know.

So what do we have now? Western Civilization hated by its current rulers for much the same reason as those revealed in scripture. Hence there is why our governments are also at war with Judeo-Christianity and its scriptures. It exposes how their actions are in parallel with all the evil-doers there.

Hence Greenfield is correct.

Journalists Openly Threatened By the Left

Newsmen and women, this headline speaks volumes.

The daily news was apparently chosen to send you all this not so veiled warning

‘you too, dear journolist, can be executed with our blessings should you stray from our demands.’  

Can they've been more Stalinist than that?

If you as a group have a lick of sense would see this and start thinking about when you will join the resistance movement against tyranical big government while you still have the chance to fight back.

As you should know but can easily find out now that you see this threat, the Soviet gulag was full of your predecessors after those in power felt they knew too much or otherwise outlived their usefulness.

Both of these journalist victims were in their 20s. They maybe are too young for us to know how much they, like many millennials, are starting to lean conservative. For certain their killer seemed to have made up his mind they were too much to his right. And whatever the facts are in the killer's mind is irrelevant here because the Daily News is using the event to threaten the rest of you.

One more thing. Those who have not begun using the acronym SSM yet ought to start after seeing that headline.

Hillary Is Out & Here's Why - update 1

They who ignore the lessons of history are condemned to repeat it.

Whatever use the Clintons provided for Obama before, the finest thing they could do for him now is not regain power. Lenin did not see his mortal danger from Stalin before it was too late. Stalin never permitted anyone to retain power for too long. Even exiled Trotsky knew his days were numbered. The other apparatchiks who outlived their usefulness never saw it coming. When Stalin died, there was a collective sigh of relief throughout the Soviet Union as each apparatchik displayed his grief over the loss of Uncle Joe in perfect double-think harmony.

As long as Obama is reasonably sure that the press will continue to sing his praises, he may not even be worried about any dirt that Hillary and her backers have on him.  So that is one of the major calculations that are on-going. How much does what she knows trouble Obama? My guess is almost nothing.  So should the Justice department actually indict her, I foresee conviction. Why? A wounded Queen would be extremely dangerous.

In my opinion, Obama and his handlers do not want to worry about retaliation for real or imagined slights to the Clintons -- just the cloud from the threat of indictments are exactly that -- so there is not a chance in hell that he will permit Hillary to be the Democratic candidate.

And if I am right -- and I hope many others see this before it is too late -- the most important aspect of the next GOP candidate better not be "who will be the best to beat Hillary." Because that will be preparing to battle the wrong war.

Zoom in on Bill's eyes -- yowsa!

There is no way in hell that Xero will let Hillary reign. As suggested in comments, more likely he arranges for Moochelle to be the Dem candidate. Fitting too in that it's a tactic right out of George Wallace's playbook. He may even point to that as precedent. LOL

The Ruling Class & the Criminal Class

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Look at how ready our local rulers are to accommodate the interests of their latest voters.

The lawful citizen who believes their "representatives" would ever again be so ready to perform this well for them are dreaming.

There is an ancient expression that seems applicable.
Birds of a feather flock together.

How Far Has Our Society Declined?

A story highlighted by Peter Grant here caused me suddenly to grok how deep into decline we have drifted.

This study he brings to our attention come with a pinkish hue to it. That is because it equates cleaning up badly affected sections of our world in only monetary terms. The once still vibrant society understands there is far more unpaid interpersonal involvement required, and that its value is priceless.

Sadly, what is now deemed as priceless in the current advanced state of our civilization has been relegated mostly as oddities in a commercial tagline.

Because of that pricelessness, our state of decline is very difficult to quantify.

Better to understand how far we've declined is to see that it is quality and not a quantity that has been lost. That loss was of something very dear.

I mourn the loss.

The ones who celebrate have earned but have yet to collect their reward.

Lying to Fellow Jews

I wonder. Is Debbie Wasserman-Shultz perhaps related to the Sergeant Shultz [image] -- a character inspired by the behavior of the Juden Polizei?

She, along with an overpaid idiot at the ADL (Jonathan Greenblatt, a former advisor to Obama no less), came out swinging at Mike Huckabee -- whom I personally detest -- for saying what any sane Jew should be saying. In short, for saying that the Iran deal is allowing Iran to turn the entire nation of Israel into a Jewish oven. A sane Jew is one who has heard "Never Again" reverberating in their ears their entire lives. That clearly leaves out Mrs. Shultz. (Hmmm. Is she less Jewish and more a gut German?)

My Dad told me -- a man who was a contemporary of many of your great grandfathers -- that the lowest form of Jew during WW II was the one who, for few extra rations, worked for the Nazis. Their job was in keeping their fellow Jews from speaking out about what was happening to them. Preventing them from speaking of the truth parading daily in front of their eyes. Their job was to see that news of the Final Solution going on all around them was denied by all -- or else!

Back then Sergeant Shultz would be tasked with enforcing "You know nutting!" amongst her fellow Jews.

And back then she also would have had the decency to wear one of these on her sleaves so that we knew for whom she was really working.

Yep. The Juden Polizei's job was to make sure nobody spoke out or acted against government plans.

Sitting Senator Breaks Collective Silence

Why did it take until today for a sitting senator to state what has been obvious to principled conservatives for decades?

“We’ve just seen something extraordinary on the Senate floor. The American people elected a Republican majority believing that a Republican majority would be somehow different from a Democratic majority in the United States Senate. Unfortunately, the way the current Senate operates, there is one party, the Washington party.” -- Senator Ted Cruz ("Independent," TX)

The answer is that the senate has a tradition of enforced niceties, so frank language is usually very risky. Frankly, niceties are a luxury at this point, and it seems that Cruz is one of the few (like Mike Lee) who understand this.

However, at this point the two parties' combined action and inaction in destroying the rule of law -- the rule of law being essentially what has made this a great republic -- appears irreversible. So for a sitting senator breaking the collective silence about bipartisan complicity not only seems too late, it looks too much like it is being done for personal advancement, if not by Lee, at least by Cruz in his run for president.

Anyway, now seems like a good time for me to re-post the cartoon I commissioned in 2002 when things were still not that far out of hand.

It is a crying shame that more people did not make many similar cartoons and repeatedly drive the point home when combined outrage by the electorate might have had a chance. Instead they waited until 2009 to form the TEA party movement.

It's such a pity that you may not live to see how bad it can become and that your posterity will pay for the consequences of your lack of vision.

Rick Perry At His GOPe Hack 'Best'

Rick Perry demonstrating how he’s a GOPe hack.



"Rick Perry Says Donald Trump Should Be Disqualified Over McCain Comments"


He goes into high dudgeon, using his own veteran status as cover, to lambast Trump for dissing McCain’s worn out exploitation of his service. Under normal circumstances — such as political conditions of 30 years ago — I’d agree with Perry. But not today.

Here is a useful tool to help you recognize and expose all GOPe hacks.

Watch the video. As you do, imagine Perry (or any GOPe) getting as hot over Obama's utter lack of concern for our troops and our vets. Or condemning Hillary for her deadly role in Benghazi. Can you imagine them doing it with the same degree of livid anger?

If you cannot imagine that, then you understand more than a thousand words could explain why Trump is drawing so much interest to himself. While Trump comes close to doing that, but I've never seen him this stern or employing this much ferocity.

The important point is to watch Perry’s face and you will find yourself wishing he’d use half as much effort to fight a Democratic POS.

And then you will realize why he and every other GOPe is NOT the answer. They always reserve their greatest animosity for lower class upstarts like us.

Seeing as who's got possession, perversion is now nine tenths of the law

Exposing More Climatism Lies

Today Los Angeles experienced a weather anomaly worth mentioning here because it and the consequences of it will be downplayed and lied about by our Soviet-Style Media.

Due to a tropical storm down in Baja California (this is Mexico's rainy season) and helpful low pressure region north of us plus some favorable current, we Angelenos got quite a lot of rain today IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY.

In my over forty years in California, I can attest that such is a very rare event indeed.


Now get this. I recently purchasing two 60 gallon rain barrels. I've hooked them up to my gutters' downspouts. Additionally I have another 60 gallon water collection barrel and an old 35 gallon plastic garbage barrel. I use both of these as a spare to catch overflow from each of the rain barrels.
Furthermore, I have a green 105 gallon garbage barrel that is provided by the city for the collection of garden waste that I rarely have need for because I compost my grass and fallen leaves. I need to put out trimmed branches maybe once every two months.

In what has been scattered showers throughout the day, I have filled both rain barrels and the green garbage barrel to capacity. Furthermore, the 35 gallon and 60 gallon barrels are about 20% filled. We are supposed to get some more rain tonight, and again on Monday (I don't know why Sunday is a day off), so I imagine they will be filled too before this is over.

That's 225+ gallons of rain water in one day. Mind you, none of these showers we had today were the really terrible downpours that have been legendary out here. The 120 gallons barrels filled themselves. I manually collected water from a puddles and that was how I filled the 105 gallon green barrel. 

The point I wish to make is that California does not have a drought problem; it has a water storage problem. That lack of storage is due in part by law passed by a humanity-hating governor and state legislature. But even before that, the destruction of our water storage capacity was by court order due to humanity hating watermelon lawsuits funded by misanthropic non-profit foundations and your tax dollars. 

By non-democratic procedures we have had our water storage capacity diminished.

And as you are coming to recognize about nearly everything that is being declared "legal," perversion is now 9/10 of the Law.

Perversion is Nine Tenths of the Law

Perversion is nine tenths of the law. 

That's the maxim of the new world order being foisted upon previously relatively free peoples all over the globe.

The old maxim easily explains it.

Possession is nine tenths of the Law.

Look at who and what is now in possession of the law.

SSM Now Also Putinesque

The AP in its Soviet-Style Media role is now also Putinesque.

The Pinocchio in Chief on Gun Violence

The Pinocchio in Chief on Gun Violence yesterday:

 “Now is the time for mourning and for healing. But let’s be clear. At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. " [source]

Does anybody believe this oligarchic puppet has no recollection of the Breivik murders in gun- banning Norway or the Charlie Hebdo murders in gun-banning France where even the police victims were unarmed?

If your  answer is "No," then you must realize that this shameless ghoul is a liar.

Updated to include this related set of facts that Pinocchio would never bring to light from his Bull*****y Pulpit.

The Simple, In-Your-Face Intent of "Progressives"

Through the looking glass, a century later.

This is how everyone with a lick of sense should read it whenever Progs utter the word

I have now provided my readers and their friends with a few JPEGs with which they may now be as explicit of what Progs really mean when they utter the word . 

Anyone who can provide me with a better way of doing this, please notify me in comments and I'll add the attributed link to this blog-post as a public service.

Of course all of this is related to this set of increments

Silence Often Viewed As Consent

The SSM has not taken notice of Mr. Obama's rare silence on anything on matters such as this headline.

FBI: Law Enforcement Officers Feloniously Killed in Line of Duty Up 89% in 2014

Because the highly paid apparatchiks occupying our news institutions haven't mentioned it, someone ought comment that silence is often viewed as consent.

Why No Grand Jury Before Indictments In Baltimore?

Amendment 5 to the U.S. Constitution

 “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury.”

 Did the WH, not happy with the results of the grand jury in Ferguson MO, send word to Baltimore MD?

'You doan need no stinkin' grand juries.'

Lessons in Humility, No. 1

Allegedly modern (meaning "seeking the best") man frequently derides previous generations as being primitive and, at best, benighted.  Behold.

1,000-year-old onion and garlic eye remedy kills MRSA
 h/t AoSHQ

Scientists recreated a 9th Century Anglo-Saxon remedy using onion, garlic and part of a cow's stomach.

They were "astonished" to find it almost completely wiped out methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, otherwise known as MRSA. 

Their findings will be presented at a national microbiology conference.

The remedy was found in Bald's Leechbook - an old English manuscript containing instructions on various treatments held in the British Library.
...

"But we were absolutely blown away by just how effective the combination of ingredients was," she [Dr Freya Harrison] said.

I fear that the more we think we are the best, the more we actually slip into post-modernism (meaning "get beyond this modernist seeking when we should be seeking to be simpler like the noble savages".)

As that is the condition that the self-assessed elite Progs want to inflict on us lesser humans, I offer this story as one lesson.

Let it help us recall that older -- and what is too often presumed lesser -- generations actually can provide us with not only good solutions, but remind us of something considerably more dangerous. That the cultures subjected to Prog dominance are flattered about their alleged intelligence. They are indoctrinated in complacency (read compliance) to have the carefree nature of Eloi: "Why seek more knowledge when you already are the best?"

The intent is to make the subjects dumber, more vulnerable to things like disease, and easier to control. That father of the Morlocks, H. G. Wells, set the Prog standard and it seems that they continue to follow toward his goal.

Even if this blog post got wider distribution, I don't expect very many people to take it seriously. That is truly sad.

Because if it were taken seriously, such a response would actually start some real countermeasures rolling. There is greatness to be gained in remembering to be humble.

For Those Who Accept SSM's Propaganda Unquestionably

Every once in awhile it is helpful to take note how easy it is to prank people. In this one, each unsuspecting mark undoubtedly feared for his or her life at least for a moment.

What Have You Done for Me Lately Lefty?

This is a question that all Leftists (and liberals still unaware that Leftists see them as useful idiots) had better be able to answer to those in power:

What have you done for us lately?

When you either don't have an answer or finally lose something those in power wanted, below the break is a hint of what to expect as a reward for all your past service.

Is Obama Sunni or Shia?

I've been told that this is the question being asked all around the Middle East. I wonder what the answer will be?

When the blinders are ripped off, it's not always cause to celebrate

When liberal groups split off from long time allies because the long time allies expose themselves as really the kind of villains conservatives have long warned the liberal group they were aiding, there is both a sigh of relieve in our side AND the nagging feeling that "maybe they are just looking to save face now that the atrocities of their former partner is so blatantly out in the open."

http://www.clarionproject.org/news/amnesty-international-severs-ties-rights-group-cage

Liberal groups tend, as a whole, to automatically detest conservative groups simply because they have done it for so long. Their indoctrination has been that strong.

So even when all that the conservative groups have warned about proves to be true, the liberal groups tend to give them NO credit.

This could be remedied except for the fact that there are far too many establishment moles within conservative groups who will make sure that the liberals are disenchanted once again, and very soon.

Remember folks. There is no Left and Right. There is really only Up and Down. Profess it. Let Ronald Reagan show you how. http://pascalfervor.blogspot.com/2014/02/200-reward-for-verified-copy-82-83.html

Thirty Years: Yikes!

It was only yesterday that the Los Angeles Marathon began. Yet here it is, the 30th. It always starts near my home at about 7AM and thus it is hard to go anywhere until they open the streets again. This year, because of the route, I would have had to go 3-4 miles North If I wanted to take my car to the other side of the freeway!

This picture -- of later runners entering my neighborhood -- is the nearest overpass over that freeway.

30th L.A. Marathon at Edgeware over US 101

Update: It is actually 30 events and only 29 years.

It's a matter of discrete events beginning with the number 1 and called the first.
Ordinal numbers, not anniversaries of birth.

Still, it seems like yesterday that L.A. thought they oughta follow the lead of other major cities for a change rather than be the trend setter. LOL for the irony.

Rejoice

My wisteria bloomed in full this week. While I cannot provide you with its wonderful fragrance that is driving my bees into ecstasy, I encourage you to use your imagination.

Our imagination is important, especially to aid our optimism when all else seems discouraging. Please let this photo serve as a reminder that even in seasonless Southern California,  Spring announces her return with vibrancy and vitality nevertheless.

Perhaps this helps explain why it is said "hope Springs eternal."

For those of you have still to dig out of the depths of a real winter, and especially for all who recognize that this is time of descending darkness in the political realm, this is a gift to you from him who, too often, sounds like Jeremiah.

Call Their Lies Out As Evil, Not Deranged

The Statists and their Leftist shock troops are totally shameless. Mocking them as deranged is a deflection.

It serves to prepare decent people for the fight that is coming. It is essential to fully understand that the enemy is evil and not merely deranged.

As an example, JWF posted the following headline today.
Peak Walker Derangement Syndrome: ‘Who’s Scarier: Scott Walker or ‘Jihadi John’?’

Jammie was asserting derangement despite various SSM having retracted the bogus story about WI Gov Scott Walker, the Left wackos kept up the attacks as if they never heard the truth.

Just as Jammie finds it hard to believe that the Leftoids don't know the facts, so that their persistence is a sign of derangement, I find it hard to believe that he is unaware of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, a publication Alinsky himself dedicated to the Lord of Darkness.

So I left the following understated reproval for Jammie and any others who foolishly believe it is better to play it safe by describing the despicable tactic of unrelenting personal abuse -- the spreading known lies in deliberate, personal attacks -- as signs of insanity instead.

   Deranged in the face of facts? Oh please Jammie. It’s Alinsky evil.
   
   In this instance, a combination of rules 6, 8 and 12.
   
   

   RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” Facts be damned, it’s fun to behave like 6 year old bullies.

   
   RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” What facts? We didn’t hear them.
   
   RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. The target always knows the truth, so the constant lies that never go away are intended to make him lash out at some point and then he’s toast.

   
   Evil tactics, not simple errors committed by deranged nuts. Headline that instead Jammie.
   

The List of Lost Liberties -- Levin

Mark Levin, concluding his opening segment, declared,

When people say we're losing our country, they're wrong. 

We've lost our country.   

Everything that follows below is my short synopsis of the points he raised (evidence he provided not included) before arriving at that conclusion.
All of this can be found by listening to the opening 15 minutes of the podcast. (BTW, also try to find time to listen to Sue in the last 15 minutes of the podcast. What she has to report about Obama's plan to further Balkanize us is worth the time.)

 2/26/15-Mark Levin Audio Rewind (1:53:22)

We lost more liberty today.

1. Internet. 
2. Healthcare.
3. Banks.
4. Student loans.
5. Seized Congress' control of spending.
6. Seized Congress' legislative power.
7. Seized Congress' power over immigration and naturalization.
8. Seized confirmation process (failed for now).
9. Accepts limits in treaties as if law without Senate confirmation.
10. Attacked most of the Bill of Rights:

1. Speech and of the press.
2. Religious liberty.
3. 2nd A. (bullet bans).
4. Due process rights.
5. Takings clause.
6. States' rights.

Assaults

1. on the Declaration of Independence.
2. on the Free Market
3. Private property rights
4. Industrial heartland

"The Democratic Party has become a flat-out party of tyranny. Centralized power, authoritarianism and worse. Seeks power for power's sake. Seeks to control your life."

"A growing police state in the name of seeking security all as he hollows out the military from within."

"The Republican Party is a throwback party. Not the party of Lincoln that stood up to slavery. Not the party of Reagan who stood up to the Soviet Union. An old, fat, directionless Republican party that exists to serve its leaders, its bureaucrats and its operatives, not the American people."

"The Democrat Party is a radical, statist party. (Seeks at every turn to destroy individual liberty, state sovereignty, private property rights and the rule of law.) A party led by fanatics who seek power to rule over you. To rule over everything you do, large and small. Whatever it is, they want to control it because they want to control you. A despotic party with a despotic leader in the White House."

Demonstrating How the Left Is NOT Liberal

When will the liberals you know finally understand how the Left is not Liberal? And, further has really only ployed that label in the past in order to make its gains?

I think In Left's Always Mutating Mutant Hierarchy, Muslims Are The New Gay by Ace of Spades  will help you get through to those liberals who know you and maybe even love you.

Excerpts:

Jamie Kirchick writes on a bunch of topics related to identity politics in this long piece; worth reading. He examines the Rock-Paper-Scissors hierarchy of victims; Muslims are now at the top of the Victim Period, and at the very bottom, of course, are Jews, who really aren't even considered by the left to be victims at all, even when they're murdered. Even as they lay dying on the street, they're Oppressors.

[Ace quoting Kirchick]:

Consider the administration's initial response to the murder of three Muslim-Americans in North Carolina last week, the motive for which, at the time, was unclear. The day after the incident, with the FBI inquiry into the matter having just been launched, the president himself released a statement declaring that "No one in the United States of America should ever be targeted because of who they are, what they look like, or how they worship." It stands in contrast to White House spokesman Josh Earnest's deplorable remark that the victims of the Paris attack "were killed not because of who they were but because of where they randomly happened to be."
...
The latest FBI crime statistics report six times as many hate crime incidents directed against Jews as they do against Muslims. Likewise in Europe, Jews are more likely to be victimized by hate crime than Muslims, who are themselves usually the perpetrators of anti-Semitic attacks.

It's a good piece, deriding the left's vicious Jacobins....

All of these fanatical movements purge their least-monstrous members. In the French Revolution, the Liberals went to the guillotines first; then the Constitutionalists; then the Girondists. Each group went along with the guillotining of the next group, thinking -- or just hoping -- that if they agreed to guillotine the next batch, they themselves would be spared the National Razor.

But they weren't. Including, in the end, the Jacobins themselves, who were all fed into the guillotines.

I have copied the whole piece (with a different title for the email) and sent it off with a simple introduction asking the questions I asked at the top.

The Less Nasty Reason for Amnesty

The more nasty reason is that it allows jihadis to sneak across the border and join the imported army hiding out in the mosques with their cached weopons.

If the Western press, the Soviet-style Media, succeeds in keeping that traitorous thought from becoming commonly understood for the deadly threat that it is, then the following may be allowed to become the meme that replaces it.

The less nasty reason is, quite simply, that both parties have aligned to allow 0 to fast-track the importation of a new American citizenry more to their liking.

The Mexican and Central American peasants, being accustomed to a very limited set of opportunities by their despotic upper classes, view coming to America as a chance of a lifetime. And it is and will continue to be for some unknown short-term.

This is especially so because they are given that all sorts of socialist goodies from the moment they cross the border, making the traditional American lure of an opportunity to make a good life from ones own abilities run as a distant second lure.

In a post from 2011, Ameristocracy Targeting TJICs, I coined the phrase Ameristocracy. Please read it.

The incoming third-worlders, long accustomed to being abused by their despots, are more accepting of their new, more benign, Norte American despots. They, as a lower class from rigidly classed societies, cannot understand why native Norte Americanos could be concerned.

Native Americans are simply not malleable enough to be relied upon to go along with the ever more demanding desires of our Ameristocracy and its ruling class. So a population that IS more accustomed to being bossed around is highly desirable and so welcomed open arms.

It serves to dilute voter resistance to the extent that voting still has any meaning.

And what bothers me most about this is that although it is bad that America is on the fast track to becoming a more rigidly classed society that it never really has been (upward mobility has long been an American dream come true time and again), it IS the less nasty reason for why amnesty is bad.

You do recall what the more nasty reason is don't you? Jihadis hiding amongst the invaders.

It would be a good thing were these peasants would come to understand how short-lived their improved life will be once the more nasty reason became "kinetic."

However, how in the world could we ever convey to them that they are welcomed here because they serve as useful idiots in providing cover for terrorists? Given how impossible it has been to convey to our fellow native Americans (with no language barrier) how deadly is our Ameristocracy to the existence of America as the home for individual freedom.

Pray.

Loser Maher Publicized by Breitbart.com

The "Right" side of the SSM, Breitbart.com, has chosen to pedal, not one, not two, but three links to videos of Bill Maher's nonsense. Maher could never garner such a large audience as Breitbart potentially could give him.

Bottom line
SSM will do whatever it takes to keep you irritated, even if it has to resort to the words of a worm 3 times each hour.

Incentives

So you love to eat.

But -- you know -- you're getting a bit older and thicker.



Clever marketing.

This Post Cost Me At Least $65K

Yes. To many folks I am still out of my mind. It is now well more than 2 years since I turned 66. I haven't bothered to find out how much more my monthly draw would be because I've not filed a claim for social security. Simply based on the base amount available at 66, the total is now in excess of $65,000.

A couple of too clever fellows have winked at me "not taking it now means you'll get more when you do take it." The fact is I'd have to live to be more than 100 to make up that difference. That's not a good bet even without real inflation considerations. Some people just can't accept that though I'm obviously intelligent that I'd actually do such a thing. Or even worse from their standpoint: that there might be many more people like me. Afterall, such people serve to make our trough-swilling pols and their beneficiaries look even worse than they currently are.

I'm sure they much rather think that I'm either dishonest or nuts. Sorry fellows. It's not about what you think or feel at all.

I continue to thank the Lord that I have not needed to file. That's good enough for me.

At Least Six More Years of CAGW Fraud
