Why Don't You Just Give Up Crusader?

A couple of days ago, after I spotted a six year old boy with what looked like aging real tattoos, could I have been more disapproving of parents who tattoo their babies?

[They should] be horsewhipped, with adequate explanation as to why, and what consequences to expect next were they to do it again.

Were it made clear this was literal lashing and not metaphorical it would have been harsher. Then recall too that I noted that this punishment was preferential to calling in Child "Protective" Services (CPS) for reasons that would soon be demonstrated.

For on the very next day -- yesterday -- I posted on a story that reinforced my misgivings about how dangerous CPS can be. When they thrust into a situation, and decide to give a baby over to the state care, they then provide the state the opportunity to kill a baby "for its own good" (or to save scarce medical resources) whichever reason those who had seized upon such power would dare admit.

So after I posted that second commentary, I was confronted by an email about the first commentary.

Re: your essay on a child's tattoo:

Did you think to check Google for information on the Legal Age for tattoos in CA?

Cal AB 186 requires registration with county health dept and facility inspection.  tattooing of minors is prohibited

Well It's illegal.  Did you report it?  Don't just bellyache.

My response:

Did you not read of the dangers from CPS? Reporting it is what the power-mad Statists WANT. Quoth Shakespeare: "The law is an ass." Besides, the tattoos could have been temporary. Sure, these looked like old inked ones that had faded as the kid grew up. However, the man with the kid wasn't tattooed himself, so I doubt he was responsible. I was not gonna make a federal case out of this and I would never recommend anyone else do it either.

What I want is for people to hear that I disapprove. What I want is for others to begin airing disapproval where and when it is appropriate. Like on a blog.

The airing of disapproval is the kind of thing that has been suppressed by the Left. PC thought permeates the entire society. We have been Politically Cowed into silence about the most basic and commonsensical of observations. Speaking up fights that too.

To hell with the opinion-suppressors already. If you have good reason to disapprove of something, let the world know it. Then maybe parents will think twice before being so STUPID. That's the way to save the child, and your neighbors from their own stupidity. Don't let the state get involved unless it's traditionally appropriate to do so. How do you know?  Here's a fine rule of thumb: If your great grandparents didn't call the police, you shouldn't either.

One more thing: CPS is a terrorist organization as far as I'm concerned. I'm sorry you don't agree.

I don't give up because I understand too well how social mores have been rushed downhill due to the useful idiocy of the Left to the benefit of Statists.

Rather than let such short-sighted messages as prompted this commentary leave me in despair, I intend to use them to demonstrate how short-sighted my neighbors can be. I think they are short-sighted because in the past I lacked the patience to try and convey my deeper thoughts. The need to develop two forms of patience -- one to understand their resistance and the other with the work it takes to arrange my thoughts -- are probably good topics for another time.

Danger Creeps from Every Corner of Govt

In yesterday's screed against one child's abuse I warned also of the dangers of government when I referred to child "protective" services.

I've also warned in the past about how the medical schools have either abandoned or largely altered the Hippocratic Oath of "First, do no harm."

This story, Los Angeles DCFS trying to take our grandson. Need attorney, [that's been pulled, here's a cache screen capture] appeared as a plea for help at Free Republic by a grandparent.

It involves a baby having been scooped up by CPS in Los Angeles due to the charges being raised on basis of a remote possibility.  But there's even more danger involved, as one commenter suggested in their offer of help.

This is the best advice, but your son needs to lawyer up and so does your grandbaby.

That baby will need his own lawyer in order to protect him from DCFS if they decide his medical treatment offers no basic improvement in his "quality" of life and that he would be better off dead.

Not only does your son need to be protected from trumped up criminal charges, the baby needs to be protected from anti-life murderers who do not value his intrinsic human worth. The "helping" professions are infested with them.

This is the sort of development of which I've been alert for over 2 decades now. The public, if it gathers together locally, can bring a temporary end to such excesses, and force the craven scum to backs off (sometimes.) The public must get involved until the upside down institutions are righted again. Sadly we've allowed them to become run by the power-mad. Their anti-human forces will work their mischief in the absence of push from the grassroots.

If America still has a shred of its historical moral base, then it still believes the strong must defend the weak from predators; this is a prime example. Do what you can to raise awareness before the bureaucratic grim reaper comes to visit you or one of those you love.

You People Are Sick

I was in the steam room late this afternoon. In came in a Dad with a kid maybe 6 years old. Through the steam I saw what I thought was a large tattoo on the kid's left upper arm. I shook my head to myself.

Later, out by the sinks, I realized then it was even worse.

I didn't stare too closely, but the kid also had another tat on his right upper arm -- looked like an eagle's head -- to match the one on his left. And for good measure, there was something nondescript, about 2 inches square, over his breastbone.

And these tats were fading. How old was this kid when they branded him?

I am not a fan of child "protective" services with their broad-sense, near licentious license takeover of parenting. This kid may indeed have been removed from his parents, so now this kid was fostered or adopted by the Dad he was with. Since I'd not seen the Dad before, who knows? Rather than removing the kid from parents who permitted this kid to be so marred, better they themselves be horsewhipped, with adequate explanation as to why, and what consequences to expect next were they to do it again.

Sick.

Leftist Fostered Monsters

Time and again I warn of how anti-human the Leftist so-called humanists are.

It is their policies that foster the monstrous behaviors such as are detailed today at JWF's
Savages Hang Toddler by His Ankles in Closet and Beat Him.

JWF ended his post with the prayer:
'May God help that little boy recover and have a life free from these beasts."

That will not happen in our legal system. The judges appointed by our demigods will find a way to allow these monsters back out to cause more mayhem in short order.
And why not? These particular monsters are now proven agents of our ever more brazen Leftist/Statist death cultists at the top of our society.

Agony in AGW fallout

Oh, the humanity! /s

The Crowing of A Death Cultist

“Today, when the court sentences Steven Hayes to death,” [Attorney Thomas] Ullmann said, “every one of us becomes a killer. We all become Steven Hayes.” 

NO! I will not accept the argument that this lawyer is merely delusional and misguided. I say he is a soulless professional agent of the death cult and is trying to tarnish all of society by projecting his own life endangering cravings on everybody else. Hayes has been an agent of death. Hayes has repented enough that he welcomes his own execution. But not so Attorney Ullmann. Ullman does not wish to chill the actions of other murderers. Thus I call all those that would feel emboldened by his advocacy (to abolish the death penalty) as agents of Ullmann's. That rotter, long before Mr Hayes meets his just punishment, is even now encouraging actions such as those of Mr. Hayes.

The moral bankruptcy of Mr. Ullmann's statement is symptomatic of the death cultists that have, in my opinion, always been accepted by the Left, and who have affected liberal thought. Classical liberal thought has been warped from permitting the voicing of ideas, no matter how bizarre, into endorsing ideas that are dangerous to human life that most conservatives still call "liberal."

You can read of how awful were the murders committed by Monster Hayes by picking up the trail at this NYSlimes link.

iAnother/i Emmanuel Goldsteining

Another Emmanuel Goldsteining

More proof how our world is becoming more Orwellian day by day. Read this story at JWF: 'If Beck Isn't Stopped, I Think We'll Have Another Oklahoma City [bombing] in This Country'

The message, driven by Soros' Media Matters, is that Glenn Beck must be stopped from broadcasting. He is too effective in alerting people to history and thereby organizing opposition to the "Progressives" thieving pigs who are systematically trampling our rights one by one.

"Every sponsor of every Fox show should be put on notice that this insanity is being underwritten by [advertisers]," Brock says. He adds: "If Beck isn't stopped, I think we'll have another Oklahoma City [bombing] in this country."

As JWF says:

So advertisers are being "put on notice" and Glenn Beck must be "stopped." If I didn't know better I would say these thugs are making threats.

This, combined with the Two Minutes Hate-like demonstrations at MSNBC by loons like Olbermann, resembles too much the campaigns by the Statist regime in Orwell's 1984 against its opponents. It is a  form of demonizing that I call "Emmanuel Goldsteining." (The most chilling thing in that novel was that the State was so thoroughly running every aspect of life that they long ago infiltrated the opposition so that now they were running it. The opposition was organized to entrap every outer party member who had qualms about their role in serving Big Brother. It sought after and sucked in desperate consciences like Winston Smith.)

I realize this threat to Beck and his backers is not the first effort of its kind by the Left/Statist alliance.  I pointed out how the Left has used Sarah Palin to personalize and focus (Alinsky rule #12) we who oppose them 18 months ago.

This is an addition to PF's chronicle of Statist growth.

Statist Tools: Snares and Intimidation

Now you laugh "Snares -- yeah sure -- but intimidation? A Statist tool? Well Duh!"

Understand me. What could be more chilling than when a judge renders a verdict wherein it's clear he knows that your rights have been trampled by the state and he's not only fine with that, he rubs it in?

From the masterful headline (by Kevin Baker) at The Smallest Minority today we see a judge's comment "When dealing with guns, the citizen acts at his peril." When the judge added this snark when sentencing a hapless gun owner -- who got snared in anti-gun paperwork -- we witnessed the ugly state on the eve before it threatens to get uglier still.
This is what I imagine would happen if I got to confront the judge in this case:

• Me: "In this case, the peril was from the state and not the gun, and every body knows it."
• Judge: **Wink**

Oh, there's a whole lot more to this story too. This judge held back even the legal statutes requested twice by the jury during their deliberations. The victim, fatefully, was in the wrong state when his mother momentarily felt concern for her son.  Her maternal instincts led to his being ensnared by a law that no reasonable person would indict another citizen over unless they themselves were Statists. You can find the sickening details elsewhere -- they are really not my point. That's the snare part, and again, that everybody with any sense knows.

What's intimidating here is that the Judge, acting in most high-handed of Statist ways, wants the world to know that it's too damn bad for the victim here. That is what the State's victim -- and you by implication -- gets for figuring an individual really has any rights that a man in his position would honor.

Yes, it is possible that I am confusing intimidating with infuriating.

Hey you liberals: I think that your beliefs that judges always act mercifully are in need of serious review.

I personally think that this judge has displayed a lower sense of mercy than that of a common criminal. The common criminal doesn't pretend that he's punishing you for the sake of respect for the law.

I surely hope New Jersey allows its chief executive to commute sentences, and that Governor Christie overrides this injustice very soon.

******* GOOD NEWS UPDATE **Dec 21 2010*****

Christie Commutes Aitken's Gun Charge To Time Served

Lead: Promote Human Life

There's a new story that recalls the question in the masthead of this blog. "If our "leaders" are so humanitarian, how is it that we never hear them direct a harsh word at the Malthusian, Utilitarian and Green nutcases?"

Lilith: the barren, sex-crazed, child-killing mascot of the abortion movement

Every once in a while, one stumbles upon a terrifying level of honesty among abortion supporters....
a moderately successful group dedicated solely to providing low-income women with abortion money, called the Lilith Fund. 

The Texas-based group explains its name on its website as follows: “Lilith was the first woman created by God, as Adam’s wife and equal. Because Lilith refused to be subservient or submissive, she was sent away from Eden.” 

This is a somewhat accurate presentation of Lilith’s bio; however, it’s certainly not the whole story. 

Here’s how the Hebrew legend, as first described in the Alphabet of Ben Sira of the 8th-10th century, ends: after Lilith flew away (and was not sent) from Eden, God punished her by dictating that one hundred of her own demon children would be killed each day. She responds by asserting her perpetual desire to sicken and kill newborn infants. 

The abortion industry’s poster girl if ever there was one.

In fact, the primordial population control expert bears a significance far beyond Hebrew culture....

...Other pro-abortion feminist organizations have snapped up the name as well. (One of several such blogs, The Lilith Plan, helps women self-abort and even provides gruesome instructions for an illegal do-it-yourself D&C abortion.) It seems some abortioneers are at least honest enough to openly associate with the child-killing demon who is even more well-fed in our modern world than she was 6000 years ago.

I was asked at Thanksgiving last week by a liberal male member of the family: "Are you against abortion?"
I answered: "I am firmly against the promotion of abortion."
He: "Who's promoting it?"
Me: "If you haven't yet noticed on your own the whole industry built around it, how it seeks customers, how it has rigged the legal system to help it, and how little you hear in mainstream media that promotes human life, please tell me what could I possibly tell you now that you'd believe?"

So when I saw this commentary on Lilith this morning, I felt I needed to highlight it here. The fact that promotion of death has become so acceptable is boldly highlighted by our "leaders" blithe silence on abortion promoting organizations such as this one.

The promotion of human life is another of those voids that have grown large in the public sphere. Green parties are nowhere near a large faction in any western government of which I am aware. Yet their policy preferences have clearly gained acceptance in the high-level political scene where AGW and its related legalities are advancing. Similarly, as pointed out in the reference article about abortionists, among the Greens the mostly unspoken but sometimes candid solution to humanity's taxing of the planet is "less humans means increased sustainability." IOW: "Yeah -- All Hail Sus."

It is clear that those who favor human life as I do have pretty much been ignored (at best) by top "leaders." I put the word leaders in scorn quotes because a leader, unlike a manager or ruler, tends to take seriously and sincerely the interests of the individuals who follow him.


If you wish to see an end to the acceptance-by-silence of such abortion promoters as the openly anti-human Lilith Fund, you will have not only to openly oppose such groups, you will need to speak out in favor of human life too, and strongly.

Day 15: Obama's Incompetence Continues Sans MSM Note

Marking 15 days since we requested

prove to the world how you are not The Dilbert Principle President

So today we have Prez Obama appearing after the White House summit with the incoming GOP delegation. We are told that he and they spoke of what it would take to make things work in the coming year.

Now if I am correct, and this is indeed the Dilbert Principle President5, it should surprise nobody that he opined on his just concluded discussion USING A TELEPROMPTER.

Not hard to conclude that he went in with a script, and it had not changed afterward; not one iota.

So for your perusal, and to prove my point to those still skeptical, here is our national puppet:

Statist Tools: Inconsistencies [Updated]

First published 10:00AM Oct 27, 2010

Collected Evidence of Inconsistencies

Today's episode came to my attention at Ace of Spades HQ.

• Cf. NYTimes publishing Wikileaks but not Climate-Gate leaks. Ace h/t: What a difference ideology makes.  11/29/10 

NYT during ClimateGate

NYT Wikileaks now

“The documents appear to have been acquired illegally and contain all manner of private information and statements that were never intended for the public eye, so they won’t be posted here.” Andrew Revkin, Environment Editor, New York Times Nov 20, 2009.

“The articles published today and in coming days are based on thousands of United States embassy cables, the daily reports from the field intended for the eyes of senior policy makers in Washington. The New York Times and a number of publications in Europe were given access to the material several weeks ago and agreed to begin publication of articles based on the cables online on Sunday. The Times believes that the documents serve an important public interest, illuminating the goals, successes, compromises and frustrations of American diplomacy in a way that other accounts cannot match.” New York Times editorial 29/11/2010 [not a mention of ILLEGAL!!!]

Ace calls it really well too:

James Darymple calls this ideological bias. I'm thinking that's not a strong enough term. That's kind of a so-what sort of thing. Everyone's ideologically biased.

The Times is ideologically biased, for starters. But what they really are -- and all the media is -- is dishonest in service of leftist ideology.

I realize that's what we generally mean when we say "bias," but maybe we should start spelling it out for those who haven't gotten the message*. Bias sounds like a penny-ante charge. Dishonesty doesn't, and we need to make clear what the charges against the MFM are.

 The whole collection can be found here: Statist Inconsistencies

*Hooray! for at least as long as Ace's resolve lasts.

Day 14: Are Those Who Hid Obama's Incompetence Blameless?

It's been 2 weeks since I asked:

President Obama: What competence have you to prove to the world how you are not The Dilbert Principle President?

So now Wikileaks demonstrates how clueless, weakness, helplessness and impotent, and incompetent Obama has been in office, and it is craven malfeasance that nobody in the Fourth Estate has issued a mea culpa for their failure of duty in service to this republic. With the Washington Post allowing someone to opine on their pages that Obama has been weak on the Wikileaks matter, it would sell a hell of a lot of papers were they to disclose what they really think of him losing the midterm elections.

Dammit you collectively worthless journOlists, this man was never properly vetted!

Judging from all the documents by and of Obama kept under lock and key as if they needed secret service protection, it is clear the man NEVER had any experience at being competent. This is, after all, the Dilbert Principle President.

Journalists of America and the world -- I lay the blame for this at your doorstep.

Cowards that you are, you will not contest the charge with me.

Filling the Void

We ARE the nascent new Fourth Estate, and Pharaoh’s ministers are advising him to kill us off. So it is advisable we move while we still may.

I have been so impressed by New Zealand's Crusader Rabbit that they’ve encouraged me to write more here. The need for blogs and web sites to fill a widening void is all too apparent to those who are our enemies. (See the news where Obama has seized web addresses for instance, as well as the fact that “Net-Neutrality” is being pushed at every opportunity).

The following was addressed to Redbaiter at CR, but easily the words apply to all of us, yours truly included.

The void is growing because the decadent members of what remains of the old Fourth Estate are not investigating the corrupt, nor asking glaringly obvious questions, not at all filling the needs of the public. (All your Pike River threads demonstrate how important you are. Any criminal negligence possibilities that might be raised will almost certainly be targetted at the most innocent sans the pressure you did and will yet raise.)

We ARE the nascent new Fourth Estate, and Pharaoh’s ministers are advising him to kill us off. So it is advisable we move while we still may. Carefully of course so as to reduce the likelihood of giving the legacy media ammo to discredit us. They assuredly will offer us many red herrings precisely to provide themselves such an opportunity, so we must be careful, and we must bend over backwards to help each other.

I’ll not fault you for not adopting my strategy of using strikeout html. It only is my recommendation and it may not work for your style or your sensibleness. My hope is that if the following example were seen more often, it would begin to catch on, and those who formerly labeled themselves liberals and abandoned it, would have to abandon this one too.

“Like the rest of the mainstream media, [the NZ Herald's] devotion to the Progressive political ideology that relies upon deceit and manipulation, and its simultaneous pretence to be an objective reporter of events is a poisonous mixture to our ability to preserve personal liberty.”

Hit them where they live. Take away every fig-leaf of misperception that they hide behind. While we still have time, allow them no device, no euphemism by which they wish to camouflage their greed for power. The fascists, once they feel they are safe from the ire of the people, will give us no quarter. I fear it is very soon if not already too late.

YOU Cannot Afford to Let Rulers Play God

It's as simple as comprehending the sub rosa moral imperative of those who believe that the world is now overpopulated.

If you believe you can trust these fools at the top to decide whether or not you are useful enough to continue to breath, THEN you can afford to let them make that decision.

That's it.

Day 11: Has Obama Ever Experienced Competence?

Each day since I launched the inquiry

President Obama: What of significance -- besides your great speechifying in front of properly working teleprompters -- demonstrates to the world your great competence at tackling tough problems in the past? We'd like to be reassured that you have a chance at tackling the great challenges currently facing America.  What proof have you that you are not The Dilbert Principle President?

there's been little to suggest that anyone else is willing to take on the scorn with which such an inquiry is sure to be greeted once the Minitrue is forced to no longer ignore it.

The primary reason that Minitrue continues to dominate the political scene is it owns the major airwaves. Its message is directed at passive viewers for whom there is no true avenue through which the viewers may disagree. But it will not remain that way once we in the blogosphere take our role as the New Fourth Estate seriously. The viewers will hear of what we're saying, and they'll see it for themselves. Shine the light and truth will out.

Surely forcing the MSM to respond to this campaign, demonstrating how lame they have been regarding Barack Obama, would prove it to ourselves.

We are a but a short way off from that now.  It is true that it seems few yet see how easy this could be would we dare to be the informational revolutionaries that this medium still allows.

But the opportunity may not last. Net neutrality could come at any time. Do what you can today. Please, dear Lord, help more to see the open door.

Day 10: Where Is Proof You've Ever Known Competence Mr Obama?

Ten days and still no answer.

President Obama: What of significance -- besides your great speechifying in front of properly working teleprompters -- demonstrates to the world your great competence at tackling tough problems in the past? We'd like to be reassured that you have a chance at tackling the great challenges currently facing America.  What proof have you that you are not The Dilbert Principle President?

We are the new fourth estate Right bloggers. Ask the hard questions that MSM Minitrue wankers would never ask. You can't wait for Fox news to ask.

Just as the TEA party doesn't trust any establishment party types, we can't trust any journalists, editorialists or talkshow hosts who have regular paid gigs to make the challenges that must be made.

Day 9: What of Substance Is Obama's?

Nine days, and still no answer to.

President Obama: What of significance -- besides your great speechifying in front of properly working teleprompters -- demonstrates to the world your great competence at tackling tough problems in the past? We'd like to be reassured that you have a chance at tackling the great challenges currently facing America.  What proof have you that you are not The Dilbert Principle President?

Speaking of incompetence (if not sell-outs), where are the questioners who are willing to pursue the questions they themselves raise and then dismiss (as Dick Morris did yesterday).

Well, there is hope again.

At Reason.com there is this story and video interview of Richard Epstein about Obama when he was at an adjunct faculty member at the U of Chicago. Thanks for the tip from LOTM who notes:

"Epstein has pushed as hard against the official line regarding Obama as a member of the Chicago faculty can. Obama was hired as an Adjunct directly by Geoffrey Stone, who was Dean of the Law School and later Provost of the University. When Stone stepped down from that position Obama's somewhat unusual connection with the school ended... The school went to great lengths during the 2008 campaign to endorse Obama as if he was a real faculty member, even though he never went through a faculty hiring review or participated in the intellectual life of the University."

Nobody "knows nothing" about Obama's achievements. We suspect it's because there are none of note.

Come on Right Bloggers. Join me in this. Take down the fraudulent media by thoroughly exposing Obama's lack of substance and that mainstream media is no longer the fourth estate. They are the unindicted co-conspirators of the Statists who pull Obama's strings.

We are the fourth estate Right bloggers. Do your duty.

Day 8: Obama's Alleged Competentence: Where's the Beef?

Well, here it is Day 8 since I launched my campaign of inquiry.

President Obama: What competence have you to prove to the world how you are not The Dilbert Principle President?

And today I have evidence, provided by Libsarenavelint who posted at Neanderpundit today a link to a Dick Morris column Who Is Barack Obama?

Once again the title, rather than the substance of the column, is more in the direction I'd like to see popular "Right" columnists go.

Mr. Morris begins his review of a recent Bill O'Reilly book asking who the Prez is. And then he gladdens my heart when he writes of Mr. O'Reilly:

...He lambasts the president's management style, but never his core beliefs.

But then he does not take the inevitable next step and call into sharper question the man's intellect and ability.

Oh wow, finally. Right?

Sadly no. The next sentence reads:

After all, the alternative explanation -- that he's dumb -- lacks credibility.

Mr. Morris' argument is that Mr. Obama pulled together this great campaign, so there's his intelligence for all to see. I'm sorry Mr. Morris. The man relies heavily on his teleprompter to put together his words. He is carefully shepherded by his staff from too many ad hoc interviews to say nothing of the man's complete avoidance of hostile questioners. In far too many instances, this man of words can't find any when he either lacks his teleprompter or it malfunctions.

No Mr. Morris, the man could very well be what so many dare not conclude, but which is a very strong possibility. Mr. Obama is a carefully controlled puppet. He could very well have no significant intelligence. This is why this campaign I'm pressing is so important. That is the strongest explanation as to why all of Mr Obama's past records -- not just his original birth certificate -- are carefully sealed, and he spends tremendous sums of money to legally keep them away from prying eyes.

Come on Right bloggers. We've got to press harder!

Push Back Now Or the Fight Later Will Be Worse

Today, in response to The price of a life in NZ? About 18 months at Crusader Rabbit, KG's coblogger, Redbaiter, opined on the continued incompetence of the New Zeeland system of justice.

This is my advice regarding about what to think of,  and how to react to, the degradation creeping into all Western courts.

For someone such as you or me, incompetence would be the correct charge Red.

But it's not incompetence when a killer can be viewed as an aid to the angel of death -- as this short prison sentence demonstrates.

When CS Lewis wrote in 1943 of the gradually more inhuman behavior we'd see come down in the democracies, he said it would start with a less brutal face. Then as Western decadence proceeded, their means and ends would become indistinguishable from that of the fascists he was fighting at the time.

The battle to come will be all that much worse the longer the uncertainty hangs over a critical mass of minds of their need to push back to survive on a personal level. Individuals must learn to work together and defeat the dissension constantly being sown amongst us by those seeking world power. The Statist open toleration of radical Leftists,  and fostering of seeming squeamishness in meting out justice, is an illusion that have "liberal" minds believing we "harsh and cold and prudish and theocracy-seeking" conservatives and classical liberals are the enemy.

There comes a time when  it slowly dawns on the liberal mind that it is not the Right, but the sly, Leftist-coddling, power seeking Statists who are the enemy of all. It behooves us all who see this spark of recognition arising in the liberal not to berate or make fun of the liberal, but to use that oppportunity to try to break through.

Almost everything on this blog has been an investment  in trying to find new ways to break through. "The second great commandment is almost as important as the first: Love thy neighbor as thyself."

Day 7: Has Mr Obama Ever Proven His Competence?

Where? Where is the proof that Mr Obama ever has experienced earned success? That he has personal knowledge of what makes one competent? Where? When? How? With all those school records and Harvard Law School papers under lock and key, how competent could Obama ever have been?

Where's the Beef?

I've been asking this question for a week, and I finally got a well-known, Right blogger to come up with another title that fits this subject. Unproven by Richard Fernandez at the Belmont Club.

Well, the title is suggestive at least. In the right direction as it were.

Well, back to the task at hand.

Mr. Obama: what significant achievement demonstrates that you know what it means to be competent? To what achievements can you point  that demonstrate your competence besides running your mouth with a teleprompter as crutch?

President Obama: What competence have you to prove to the world how you are not The Dilbert Principle President?

***Welcome Neanderpundit.com readers. The Dilbert Principle President explains how this campaign came about and why the attribution needs to come from the Right (filled with competent workers) rather than from the Left (filled with overschooled incompetents) who'll botch the recognition.

In Nutshells
The Peter Principle	The Dilbert Principle
Managers move up in any hierarchy until reaching their level of incompetence.	Managers are placed at their level  of incompetence having no inkling of what is competent whatsoever.

Day 6: Obama, Have You Ever Experienced Competence?

Nobody to my knowledge but yours truly lone fool blogger has asked this direct question.

Mr. Obama: what significant achievement demonstrates that you know what it means to be competent? To what achievements can you point  that demonstrate your competence besides running your mouth with a teleprompter as crutch?

President Obama: What competence have you to prove to the world how you are not The Dilbert Principle President.

Still no answer. Still a lone voice asks the question.

The Left blogs will awaken to this empty suit soon, and the Right blogs, having been afraid to look foolish, will not like the consequences when the Left unleashes.

Day 5: Obama, What Did You Ever Do of Significance?

Why is it still so that nobody but this lone fool of a blogger has asked this question?

Mr. Obama: what significant achievement demonstrates that you know what it means to be competent? To what achievements can you point  that demonstrate your personal competence besides running your mouth with a teleprompter as crutch?

President Obama: What competence have you to prove to the world how you are not The Dilbert Principle President.

Yes the mainstream press is completely in bed with Obama. But why have the conservative blogs chosen only satire and sarcasm to point out this Prez' lack of accomplishments? Why not make this challenge directly? Is it cowardice? The Left blogs will awaken to this empty suit soon, and the Right will not like the consequences when they do.

Day 4: World, What Competence Has Obama Ever Demonstrated?

What a bunch of hacks we have in journalism. Journolists all. And some of the Right wing blogs are not off the hook either. Facetious remarks and sarcastic commentary, sure. Obama's behavior satirized in cartoons and skits, sure. That's become way too ineffective folks. As the Left constantly demonstrates, they can pervert ways to read sarcasm so as to see only what they choose to see.

Why has nobody yet found the nerve to repeat this question?

Mr. Obama: what significant achievement demonstrates that you know what it means to be competent? To what achievements can you point  that demonstrate your personal competence besides running your mouth with a teleprompter as crutch?

President Obama: Please demonstrate to the world how you are not The Dilbert Principle President.

It's bad enough I failed to put the thought to words sooner, like back when he was running for President after he'd clinched the Democratic Party nomination. But what is preventing others on the Right from picking up on this campaign. Are you all waiting for when the Left feels they haven't gotten enough out of Obama, and they decide to throw him under his own bus? Are you waiting for the Left to ask this question? I really don't think anyone will like the outcome if this question starts coming from the Left unless the Left has first been thoroughly embarrassed by the Right.

Day 3: Obama, What Competence Have You Demonstrated?

I'm still expecting answers:
President Obama: Zero
Mainstream Journalists: Zero
Big Bloggers: Zero
Blogs in general: 2

What is the answer to this question that no mainstream journalist ever asked him.

What significant achievement demonstrates that you know what it means to be competent? To what achievements can you point  that demonstrate your personal competence besides running your mouth with a teleprompter as crutch?

Please President Obama: demonstrate to the world how you are not The Dilbert Principle President.

As one commenter noted succinctly:

"Truth to tell, Obama is the poster boy for incompetence."

Mainstream journalists: Fill the vacuum you have left hanging out there. Provide us the evidence of Obama's great accomplishments.

What about the rest of the blogs? You are going to continue to let mainstream "journalists" duck their responsibility in saddling us with this disaster? Let's hear this question from more blogs.

Day 2: Obama, WTF Did You Ever Do of Significance?

I'm still expecting from President Obama the answer to this question that no mainstream journalist ever asked him.

WTF did you ever achieve of significance prior to rising to national attention that demonstrates that you know what competence means, what competence is? To what personal achievements can you point  that demonstrates your competence besides running your mouth with a teleprompter as crutch?

Please demonstrate to the world how you are not The Dilbert Principle President.

The Dilbert Principle President

Follow ups to this post are collected here.

How is it possible that after 21 months of ineptitude under Barack Hussein Obama that a Google search on "The Dilbert Principle President" only turns up one hit?

Note that this single instance is an off-hand reference to GWBush in an obscure stream of comments about John Kerry.

Here's the short explanation of the Dilbert Principle and the Peter Principle from which it was derived.
                        

In Nutshells
The Peter Principle	The Dilbert Principle
Managers   move up in any hierarchy until reaching their level of incompetence.	Managers are placed at their level  of incompetence having no inkling of what is competent whatsoever.

Haven't we all been been insulted enough by mainstream journalists who have not uncovered regarding President Obama:

• A single transcript from any institution of learning regarding BHO.
• A single paper written by BHO while editor of the Harvard Law Review.
• Hell -- A single graded paper of BHO from any level of school.
• Who helped BHO write two best-selling books prior to his elevation to the national spotlight.
• Who prepaid for the early copies of his first book so that it became a best-seller before anybody ever heard of BHO.

I could go on.

And this lack of investigation comes to you from the same "impressive" sources, the majority of whom still think that Dan Rather's falsification of a GWBush ANG evaluation was fake but accurate.

I know why you can't find -- until today -- any reference to Barack Obama as the Dilbert Principle President. It is because the whole circling-down-the-drain country is so Politically Correct Cowered that the emperor is permitted to continue to destroy the country without him having to prove he has a stitch of success at anything every other president has been raked over the coals to prove at least somewhat.

WTF have you done before you were elected President that was of any significance, you goddamn puppet of God-knows-who special interests?

I'm so disgusted with the lack of candor on this subject that I'm strongly considering revising my new definition of PC from Politically Cowered to Political Cowards.

Statist Motto

Tactical Usage:

What About Voter Fraud?

I'm really curious. I'd like readers to pass along a bit of information and to take a poll of those who hear it.

This evening I heard a rebroadcast on the local Salem Broadcasting affiliate of a Bill Bennett segment from (I guess) Wednesday or Thursday morning.

The rebroadcast, on what is called Weekend Journal, at around 10 minutes in, went something like this:

Bill Bennett:  Could a good GOP candidate have won the senate seat from Nevada?
Byron York: Exit polls were taken asking just one question "do you approve or disapprove of Harry Reid's performance as senator?" Disapprove was the answer of 55%. 

For the record, I have transcribed this more completely. It can be found below the break.

Harry Reid won reelection with 50% of the vote to Sharon Angle's 45%. Yet Bennett steers the argument (and York complies) to agree with his opinion that the loss was due to Angle being a poor candidate.

I do not care that Bennett has written wonderful volumes about American values and decency. When he backs the established order of professional politicians from whom he receives some degree of respect, I have to wonder how much he panders for them and how much he lives by what he preaches. I've discussed the danger from antidisestablishmentarians before.

You would think that 

• there were no stories of voting irregularities during the multi-week voting period. 
• that there were no stories of Nevada voting machines malfunctioning. 
• that there were no power outages at some polls. 
• that it wasn't revealed that SEIU members were in charge of servicing them.
• that the Harry Reid, and the Dems, and the SEIU are all beyond reproach. 
• Oh, and that we are all Pollyannas (like Mr. Bennett played that Wednesday morning).

Bill Bennett, Byron York, Salem Broadcasting

You know what I'd love to have? I'd love to have an unedited recording of Bill Bennett's telephone screener. I'd like to know exactly how many of the callers to his show that asked "What about voter fraud from the Reid backers?" were hung up on.

That leads me to the unofficial poll I'd like my readers to ask their friends who they believe will give them a frank answer.

"When discussing the Angle loss, in the light of the wide margin of dislike for Reid by people who had just voted, do you think it out of order to be considering massive vote rigging as the cause for the discrepancy between the vote result and the sentiment?"

Who reading this commentary doubts that if the roles were reversed -- the Republicans and Angle and a belligerently non-union group were responsible for the voting machines -- that the Democrats and Reid and all of Minitrue would not be covering the "fraud" 24/7? That would be all the news all the time even without the multiple reports of machine errors and the like.

Do you know what it is like in Zimbabwe? Robert Mugabe has held onto power while his former breadbasket of a country has been driven into starvation under his rule. In 2002, his own interior minister said that 7 million of 14 million Zimbabweans would starve. What population VOTES for a regime that openly plans like that? Since then, reports of voting irregularities increased with every vote. The rest of the world has simply watched as voter fraud and intimidation and even the brutal murder of the wife of his opponent has even affected Mr Mugabe. When he offered to step-down, the strongmen of his Zanu-PF party would have none of it. Now there is a bipartisan "sharing" of power (believe that?), but the destruction of a once productive country continues, and the death toll still mounts. That is what ignoring voter fraud has reaped.

Is it possible that such a sorry state could be visited upon us? How are we different when we do not raise a stink? Well, as long as you accept the word of leaders who act like those three monkeys in the face of reports of voter fraud, you know you can expect more of it.

Wrong-doers unpunished see no down-side to their wrong-doing.

Just when did conservatives decide it was wise to behave towards political wrong-doing like liberals behave toward violent criminals? I'm guessing in was back in 1960 when Richard Nixon didn't fight the theft of the votes in Chicago which provided just enough electoral votes for JFK to win the presidency.

When will we Americans learn not to sit back and not say a word and simply accept such Republican spinelessness?

Oh, that reminds me. What is the answer to this question: "Why do some Republicans who never seem to get angry in the face of Democratic slanders of them always become fierce tigers when confronted by real principled conservatives in their own party?" Is there really only one party?

Left Hands Washing Each Other

Where are the right hands guarantying balance?
Where are the voices suggesting that our financial enslavement to public employee "entitlements" is a major motivation for public employee willing involvement in voter fraud?

The GOP and talkradio's near silence on voter fraud -- still ongoing (in Bridgeport Connecticut for example) -- is outrageous. (Talkradio is filled with honorable men. They are all, all honorable men.)

The book Shakedown: The Continuing Conspiracy Against the American Taxpayer, by Steven Malanga of City Journal, reveals the power bestowed upon public employee unions. The following video exposes some of the threats directed against public elected officials. Pascal's Fervor sees the more disenfranchising aspects of such unscrupulous threats in light of whom is in charge of those paid to support elections.

"It's not who votes that count, but who counts the votes."

I expect you will find it chilling. I found it compelling for another, perhaps more emotional reason.

My affection for the continuing efforts of the man depicted below left pretty much assured my paying closer attention to author of the above video, depicted below right.

Time for Adults to Speak Up

In order to make the gains that the nation needs,America needs place considerable blame on George W Bush solely to prevent the Statist wing of the GOP from mucking it up again.

Yes Barrack Obama's "solutions" have only made matters worse, but that's because he is so obviously growing the state. At least Obama told us what he was doing -- Statism heavy. Bush sold his policies as "compassionate conservatism" -- Statism lite.

Come clean with what did Bush43 do that was in error, ill advised, malfeasance, and outright bad.
Beg forgiveness from God and the country and promise to fight to prevent further damage from such  destructive policies.

Discuss the many ways Americans have been led into slavery that has only begun to show itself and of which too many Americans remain ignorant.
Work towards reform of our financial system and restore our culture. Bring back the concept of the Melting Pot and kill multi-culturalism due its destruction to American culture -- love of liberty and limited government -- the very reason why the rest of the world's downtrodden always wanted to come here.
Bring back open scorn for men who would play God over the rights of other men.

Holding My Breath...

...over whether or not Obama and the Democrats pull off their imitation of Mugabe and Zanu-PF voter fraud. What will follow such an exceptionally brazen act -- say have I ever noted how brazen the "Progressive" Incrementals have become? -- will not be pretty.

Leftist Agitprop: agitating to provoke a reaction, then Minitrue propagandizes any reaction so the Statists can seize a bit more power.

The Self-Serving Manipulator

Appealing to greed and vanity, expert at false modesty, damning opponents with faint praise, misdirection, disingenuousness, dissembling, and sensing when he can get away with flat out lies. All well known traits of the demagogue.  But how many see it when it's employed? Ah, there's the rub.

In these times, when all America so needs to have the manipulation of the demagogue demonstrated, this, beginning at 8 minutes, is hard to surpass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab68AjRMKmA
Note: Shakespeare composed Antony's speech as overly broad, not to be convincing to the Roman mob, but to reveal to the audience the machinations of demagogues .

This is the easiest to hear and most effective of all the versions I could find. The film version, starring Marlon Brando as Mark Antony, IMO is not as good a teaching aid.

Much appreciation to MTS for his suggestion to follow-up my earlier post  with this post.

A Progression of Sorts

"...some few lucky people in one lucky generation which has learned how to do [manipulate mankind].” -- The Abolition of Man by C.S.Lewis

We may call such people "sociopaths." E.g.: Hucksters, top politicians.

As they get more powerful and arrogant, we may call them "psychopaths." E.g.: Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein.

As they seek to achieve absolute power, have we learned yet, have we the courage to call them "megalomaniacs?" E.g.: Hitler, Stalin, the New World Order.

Learn to Live with Them

JWF informs us of great news that demonstrates once again of the superiority of individual drive and ingenuity to bring boons to each and every man and woman on the planet.

Advanced Materials, a small Czech company seated near Prague specialising in nanotechnology, has invented special paints that can clean air from emissions and kill viruses and bacteria, the daily Hospodarske noviny (HN) writes Tuesday.

RadicalRon, who posted this news, asks

"Once submitted to the EPA for the necessary approval/s, will the bureaucrats get it right, or screw the pooch?"

Great question Ron. What do you want to bet that the usual suspects will seek to stifle this disease preventative advance?

• First they'll seek to "discover" that some minuscule parts per million is cancerous, then set the legal limit just above where this advance is effective.
• Or if that takes too long, some group will find that some insect unknown before is in danger of becoming extinct, and thus "we sadly must ban the use of this awful stuff in accordance with international law."
• Or if that isn't good enough, they will decide that use of the advance is unfair to bacteria. That would lead to "we in our multicultural wisdom decide that you must learn to live with them." 

Maybe the dream of Dr. Strangelove finally will come to fruition. You know, where the "Progressives" Incre-mental-cases (PI) will have saved this advance for themselves. Then when they retire to their bunkers painted with this material, they then can safely spread Ebola over the face of the earth in order to sacrifice six billion people to their god Sus.

The Angry, Unhinged Left Part 2

So where did Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen find the gonads to escalate the rhetoric by suggesting the TEA Party members were the enemy similar to the Taliban?

Like a good little apparatchik, he simply followed the leadership of The RepublicRats Party.

“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re going to punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s going to be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”  -- President Barack Obama as quoted in the NYTimes 


We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come along for the ride, but they gotta sit in back. -- President Barack Obama as reported by the AP

The soundbites are found at Michael Savage's free stream service, is here. Listen from 1:00 minute to about 2:00. I'm sorry if you don't have broadband,  because it's too long (40 Mb) in this form. I'll try to shorten these later (as I used to do) when I have my system, which went down last month, fully restored.

P.S.: All this suggests that my nightmare that got me stirred up this morning, enough to publish the warning Stop This Idiot Plot, may have been a bit more than a dream.

I guess all the signs were out there for our government provoking us. What's happened elsewhere in the world is about to come to America.

So beware the Media helping set up some kind of National Emergency. That will lead them to crack down on anyone suspected of supporting the TEA party in the manner that the Praetorian Guard cracked down on suspected Christians after Nero had Rome burned.

The Angry, Unhinged Left

Projection, you have found a home (probably padded) with the "Progressives" Incremental-cases.

Here we have Richard Cohen, writing today in the Washington post: "The Tea Party, united only by anger and the Internet."

And if you find his title not biased enough for your taste, he goes on right from the start describing the Tea Party not as merely opponents, but something more:

The Tea Party has no leader. It has no address, no phone and no Washington headquarters. It is everywhere and nowhere. For Barack Obama, the Tea Party is the quintessential asymmetrical enemy, much like the Taliban in Afghanistan. 

Calm and reasoned commentary like that from a mainstream newspaper. Wow! One can only wonder what they sound like amongst themselves, right?

I've got to go. I'll add more later, so come back to see it. Wanna know where this tool found the nerve to go from Democrat lap-dog to attack mongrel, see part 2.

Welcome Crusader Rabbit readers.

Stop This Idiot Plot

I am trying to do that, have been struggling to do that, for a very long time.

What's the idiot plot? It is that sequence of actions wherein the audience is thinking, if not screaming, "look in the back seat!" or  "listen to what they're saying -- oh ferchristsakes!"

Ultimately, an idiot plot is where none of the characters in the story ever really communicate with each other. It's the form of plot where a simple phrase "oh, I did that already" would instantly unwind the spring and put an end to the story. The plot would fall apart, and that wouldn't sell tickets, so the producers leave it in.

I woke up shivering this morning, with the memes of the Reichstag Fire, Nero Burning Rome, and Lenin staging something similar at the Winter Palace. And it was Rob Reiner’s thoroughly irresponsible, and I suspect staged words of fright, (as was Alec Baldwin's intimidating "kill Henry Hyde and his family" a dozen years ago) that set it up yesterday in my subconscious mind. Reiner: "My fear is the Tea Party gets a charismatic leader. Because all they're selling is fear and anger, and that is what Hitler sold." The man's bad history is only compounding the bad name associated with celebrities who think that they are somehow more than the morons they are.

Oh, he had help too. The dimwit would not be where he is but for the fact that those who like the damage he does to our culture encourage him. But what about those who (allegedly) are on the Right? I believe Reiner's performance, repeated all day on talk radio, was what brought on my nightmare. Or was it Bill Maher nodding “Duh,uh, duh,uh” in agreement while his audience applauded loudly that did it?
Not good signs.

The answer to this my friends is to try and break down the walls of intolerance that have been erected. If we don't speak to each other with love in our hearts, I guarantee you that you will not like the outcome when this movie gets to its climax.

Like I said at the top, I've been struggling to open up communications, to promote contact between neighbors and even relatives for a very long time, in an effort to put an end to idiot plots. 

Then how can it be that it seems like I am a lone voice crying out into the wilderness?

Go listen and speak with love. And with God's help we'll put an end to this awful and idiotic plot kept in motion by moral idiots. Open up your  hearts and minds, so help me God.

Highlights from "The Abolition of Man"

The following are from my notes that include analysis and excerpts.

C.S. Lewis in 1943 published The Abolition of Man. It is a collection of three lectures proved prescient by what later transpired: 1) on the coming destruction of early through secondary education, 2) on the nature of natural law, and 3) on revealing the machinations of those he labeled Conditioners.

The last lecture, also titled “The Abolition of Man,” demonstrates how a few of our kind aimed to rise above humanity to claim ownership of all Nature. It is a process which reduces the rest to something less than those who came before. It is a world in which nothing we now call Man remains.

All of the following paragraph numbers refer to the third lecture.

¶16, PF’s synopsis:
        Man may lose his perspective as he studies his kind intently. Once he reduces his kind to a mere natural object, he hands off his self to those whose job it’s become to husband resources, in which category he has placed himself, suitable for processing.

¶18 portion:
        “I am not here thinking solely, perhaps not even chiefly, of those who are our public enemies at the moment. The process which, if not checked, will abolish Man goes on apace among Communists and Democrats no less than among Fascists. The methods may (at first) differ in brutality. But many a mild-eyed scientist in pince-nez, many a popular dramatist, many an amateur philosopher in our midst, means in the long run just the same as the Nazi rulers of Germany. Traditional values are to be `debunked’ and mankind to be cut out into some fresh shape at the will (which must, by hypothesis, be an arbitrary will) of some few lucky people in one lucky generation which has learned how to do it.” The Conditioners declare what is and what is not permissible in a discussion. Worse: substantive words that disclose goals are transmuted to euphemistic alternatives.

¶19 portion
        Deeply significant features of individual things are obscured by making abstractions of them so they fit in categories. Thus, truth gets concealed. "Man’s conquest of himself means simply the rule of the Conditioners over the conditioned human material, the world of post-humanity which, some knowingly and some unknowingly, nearly all men in all nations are at present labouring to produce."

Incrementals -- part 3: Fight to Reclaim Our Language [Updated]

Good news friends.

This evening I heard a promotional ad by Dennis Prager for his radio talkshow.

In it he stated that he bristles when he thinks of how the Left has staked claim to the word progressive. And that it makes it sound as if any who oppose them are anti-progressive. [The following is corrected from before as I promised I'd do.]

He says we on the right ought to change our name "from conservative to morally clear. Why is that any more self-serving than progressive? If you're not for progress you're for regress, right?" [/end update]

Really Dennis? You are still dancing around to their tune. I know you are not really advocating abandoning our not always accurate label (though we could choose a new one for good reasons).

But you are not making the strong case as to why the Left has no legitimate right to call themselves  progressive. It is for the same reasons that they had no legitimate claim to the word liberal (which once, long ago, only meant "pertaining to freedom").

The Left has been engaging in language theft my whole life. It's a form of agit-prop meant deliberately to put their opponents off balance. Sadly this one tactic seems to keep some off balance for far too long and all too easily. Jeesh!

I have no faith that you'll ever hear this, but here is what some long departed great uncle would say to you if he could:

Stop whining Dennis.
You have had command of your own microphone for 15 hours every week for roughly 30 years.
Who else on radio -- anywhere -- has had that much access to the minds of Americans?
You have had an unprecedented opportunity to sway not just opinons on the Right, but national opinion.
Are you the opinion maker you ought to be? Or are you a boychick who runs home crying cuz the bullies stole his counntry's future by claiming possession of an important word?
You don't like that the Left has stolen progress? Well be a mensch and fight to take it back!

Sigh. Well no matter. At the least, Dennis Prager has somehow either caught wind of the meme I started earlier this week or he's independently arrived at the same conclusion -- conservatives need to do something! Sadly, in my view, Mr Prager has chosen a far more difficult way to go to war.

Dennis, you didn't get my memo? It's a lot easier to achieve what you want than you currently are suggesting. We don't have to continue to live with the repressive, regressive Left's dishonest theft of the word progress.

What I do in print is write "Progressives" Incrementals when I refer to them. It's a simple thing really. But it has real meaning as I've explained elsewhere. Don't ask me how I know that this word is important -- I can tell you already sense it too Mr. Prager. I'm just a little blog where maybe a handful of friends will see the idea and run with it on their little bigger blogs. From what I surmise you have the attention of more than 5 million ears each week. You could make a dent in Leftist ownership of "progress" if you wanted to.

Here is what you can do on radio. When referring to them, you can say "the 'Progressives' -- no the Incrementalists actually." And then go on and use the word Incrementalists, and Incremental theft of personal liberty a little at a time, and so on as you refer to them and their actions. Then never use the word progressive again in that session of your talkshow when referring to them. Only use progressive when speaking of wanting real progress, like in job creation, and re-stabilizing our monetary system, and improving home life and restoring traditional values.

When they challenge you -- and you know they will katzenjammer like mad --  point out that the only progress that is of importance to an Incrementalist is what permits him to gain power. Power that is totally self-serving and with which they, as a group, have been demonstrably incompetent. Then go on to demonstrate all the ways it is true. Do you think you have enough material to show that they are regressive, repressive, postmodernist, misanthropic and overall power-mad? Yes, I thought so. So do it!

To make progress against the growing tyranny, do NOT let the Left stay in charge of the narrative. You must fight to reclaim the language.

Oh, and for those who will accuse me of attacking Mr Prager, this demonstrates that I know how he can fire up his delivery quite satisfactorily when his head is screwed on right, and I commend him for it.

Statist Fools: The Devil is in the Details.

The radical environmentalists misanthropes believe that the earth's population needs to be reduced to half a billion people.

I only recently noticed the ratio involved here. Twelve out of every thirteen people alive today are targeted for elimination.

This ratio is equivalent to the aces seeking to remove all other cards from the deck.

What these overconfident Godless fools fail to recognize is that they are not aces in any stretch of the imagination. Most of those I've met who've risen to captain industry and institutions in and out of government require help, figuratively, to tie their own shoelaces. (And in some instances, literally.)

So I think of them as deuces gone wild.

"The Deuce you say?"

Yep, rule by these self-assessed aces cannot stand once the real aces take conscious stock of their abilities and assume their rightful place.

Incrementals -- part 2

I don't know about the rest of you, but I am sick and tired of feeling the need to put scorn quotes on the word Progressives. "Progressives" are the ultimate anti-human progress force in the world today, and it really isn't right for them to hang onto the moral high ground that is deserved by right to those who truly work to achieve real human progress.

"Progressives" is one way to make the point that they are regressive (as in turning back the clock), repressive (aiming to restrict individual liberty), postmodern ("future" is so passé), misanthropic (6.5 billion people will be reduced to ½ billion by hook or by crook), and the class of people who think they are the only ones smart enough to deserve the power they seek. Society's self-assessed aces.

But the problem with "Progressives" is

• It doesn't stop them from painting their enemies as "anti" progress rather than anti "progress."
• After a short while the power of mocking the word they chose to describe themselves loses its sting.
• "Progressive" news media and other influential institutions constantly use the word Progressive without a hint of their postmodernism being contrary to true progress. 
• It cedes ownership of the narrative to those we need to defeat.

Back in January I made my first positive effort to stop the hijacking of the word progress by those who make a mockery of the word. I introduced the word Incrementals for the first time.

In retrospect, it seems I was the first to use it in this way. Other words I've coined over the years had multiple authors and so they proliferated. Words like sheeple and republicrats. But it is the self-designated word "Progressive" that still seems to reign supreme when everyone speaks about those who've been scheming for more than a hundred years to incrementally enslave the whole human race.

Today I did a google on the words "incrementals" "progressives." My post on the subject came up as number 1.

About 365 results (0.50 seconds) 

1. Pascal Fervor: Incrementals

   Jan 18, 2010 ... The Sinister Wingers have chosen “Progressives” for themselves. Let us allow that they are Incrementals. In that they are incremental ...pascalfervor.blogspot.com/2010/01/incrementals.html

Yes I did make a contribution to help defeat the rhetoric of the Incrementals. But I've done a poor  job of selling it. Even worse -- I had forgotten to use it!

For someone who believes that the future leadership that can defeat this anti-human squad of perverts has to come from individuals like myself, I have to admit that I make a horrible example. No, not in my ability to think up variations in tactics. Many know I am good at brainstorming. I simply don't fear making an ass of myself. Brainstorming will fall flat and even look stupid a good deal of the time. But if you fear to float ideas, you'll fear floating good ones that you don't know are good until others react to them. Few people are geniuses until they stumble enough for others to realize the genius.


No, my failure manifested itself in my not acquiring the stamina, guts and drive to keep at it day after day. Real leaders WILL do those things that need to be done and then do even more. I've known real leaders, and even still know a few, so I know what one looks like. I fall short. And no matter what, every day I wake up and still don't feel like leading. I'm sure I am not alone. Most of you reading this probably feel the same way. (Still, some of you has a great opportunity to aid decency. Consider learning what it takes to get the drive and go on and become a leader. The risks are high -- but....)

Back to the campaign at hand. It's really simple, much simpler that the long lead-in above.

I really do think, that with the label Incrementals, I've stumbled on a very good and accurate word to describe the not-very-nice people who relentlessly have been seeking great power by gaining it a little bit of the time.

So I will do three more things to help my friends who happen by here to use the word Incrementals as a replacement for "Progressives" every time you write it. I will give you the formatting for 3 different environments so that you may use the words together.

• "Progressives" Incrementals
• <strike>"Progressives"</strike> Incrementals
• <delete>"Progressives"</delete> Incrementals

Together we who use this rhetorical tactic may begin to break the back of the Incrementals and end their theft of the word progress and its moral high ground. The goal is to reclaim it as our own.

AGW: Fundamentally Antihuman

My title is a more concise wording of what Mark Steyn was recorded as saying when he substituted for Rush Limbaugh in early September. For Mark Steyn it's not new. He said it while back in his book America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It. 

Courtesy of (of all things) Media Matters.


Media matters provided this because they know when they're throwing their fans red meat.

Media Matters was overjoyed to use "Environmentalism" in their headline. It was tailor-made to provoke the desired reaction in most of their soft-headed readers.

But what can we do about it? How can we get them to comprehend what a racket professional "environmentalism" has become?

The comments are filled with mocking Steyn as if he is in favor of polluted air and water. And those are the polite ones. I'm pretty sure had Steyn used the term AGW instead of environmentalism, the difference would have only appeared in the headline and not the response of the readers.

The biggest fools there seem ready to sacrifice themselves along with everyone else to the carbon taxes that will impoverish and health care schemes that will shorten human life. The typical dupe may think that's swell now, but I have no doubt how he'll react when reality socks him in the solar plexus.

It could happen during a particularly harsh winter and is cheerfully told that his family's meager fuel ration has been "raised" from 100 gallons a month to 40 gallons a month.

Or it occurs after he have been rushed to the hospital and is greeted not by emergency room attendants, but by armed gatekeepers.   Maybe it won't be until he hears the arbitrarily decision to send him to the showers to await further processing with the other unlucky (unconnected) ones will he finally notice that the grim reaper has been in attendance for quite some time.

Maybe never.

If the media were not part of the problem and had been playing fair all these years, they never would have allowed these racketeers get away with using a pleasant sounding name like "environmentalist." A real press would hound them

• for all their inconsistencies; 
• for their profound Malthusian pessimism; 
• for their fear of catastrophe that can be averted with an optimistic leadership; 
• for their hatred of the Bible because it sees human sacrifice as fundamentally evil.

So all these poor deluded people who've been lied to all of their lives would never for a moment consider the truth of Steyn's Statement. The bottom line for these radical misanthropes is WE WILL REDUCE HUMAN POPULATIONS BY HOOK OR BY CROOK.

Downtime Almost Over

I've had to reinstall windows in order to regain use of my computer. I'm not done configuring and update-catching-up, and I've got a terrible cold that is not aided by sitting at the computer installing software and reinstalling hardware.

Meanwhile I've managed to post infrequently, here but more often elsewhere, either for myself or with the help of other agents, over the last 3 weeks. I had not felt like posting this much for a very long time, so maybe lack of access is a good thing.

Then with the release of the 10/10 video on Oct 1, that really lit me up to write heavily. And there I was, hamstrung by my damaged harddrive, my travels, and now this awful cold.

I might feel better were I not appalled at how few are pressuring what passes for our leaders and opinion makers for saying NOTHING about the atrocity of the 10-10 No Pressure video and of the anti-human thinking it reveals.

There are times I feel I'm a lone voice crying out into the wilderness, I swear.
