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.

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.

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

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.

1. pascal on 2/02/15 at 2:32 pm

   
   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.

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.

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.

Phony Comaraderie

This morning's email brought the following solicitation.

Checking in

•  Christie Fogarty [info@heritage.org]
• 
  
• Today at 12:30 PM

To

me

Hey Pascal,

I wanted to check in to see if you'll be able to contribute towards Heritage's million dollar goal by the December 31 deadline.

Blah, blah, blah, blah.

Blah, blah.

Blah, blah, and blah.
All my best,

Christie Fogarty
Director of Membership
The Heritage Foundation

P.S. The Heritage Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, so your gift by December 31 is tax-deductible.

Response:

Hey Christie (if that's your real name),

Your "Hey Pascal" greeting is the kind that I receive from buddies with whom I email back and forth regularly.

Am I now one of your buddy correspondents that this greeting seems appropriate?

It's been my experience that emails of this sort come from a mass mailing, and that yours is a one way email address that accepts no incoming. 

Bottom line: it's a waste of any recipient's time to respond to them as they would with any of their  buddies.

So, next time, don't even consider greeting me with you condescending "Hey" at the least. 

In fact, you may address me as Mr. Fervor. Make some attempt to begin on the right foot.

More Layers

A couple of days ago complained how Even Bright People Can't or Won't See Layers.

Today let's demonstrate how clever schemers make use of this defect.

Orwellian America

When I read this headline at Breitbart.com,

Jeb Bush: GOP Doesn't Need Conservatives to Win 2016, Should Not Defund Exec Amnesty,

the words from Orwell's 1984 came to mind; a dire threat to the every man.  

O'Brien: If you want a vision of the future, Winston, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.

It occurs to me: surely that's an overreaction. But is it really?

Even Bright People Can't or Won't See Layers

When Dem senator Charles Schumer came out the other day against Obamacare, a friend of mine called excitedly to tell me of the news. It delighted him that the Dems were splitting.

I tried to convince him that Schumer is a long time hack, but quite shrewd in his manipulation of the news. (In that he always has been helped and never hindered by the SSM. That made it easier and, so, makes him look smarter than he really is.)

My friend just would not see it as that.

Then backing up my suspicions this piece came to my attention today.

Second Take: Schumer's Merely Attempting a Trial Balloon Tactic of Distancing Democrats From Obamacare, While Continuing to Support and Defend It

I thought the Schumer statement -- in which he criticized Obama for pushing Obamacare in 2010, instead of addressing the needs of the And The Middle Class -- was important.

But now I think it's just so much positioning. With Elizabeth Warren now endorsing his statement (!!!), it seems obvious to me that this does not represent a true schism in the Democrat Party, but rather a way to snooker the voters again, to Gruber them anew.

Bottom line: Because we don't have a truly independent press to provide us the proper cynical views about politicians, especially about Dems, and usually about GOPe, the task has fallen to the people themselves.

See the layers of the statements so you can figure out the underlying meaning. Look for and at the layers.

Sometimes it's like peeling an onion, and can make you cry. But it needs to be done.

Continuing On a Theme

That is, let's see if any of you find the following somewhat connected with yesterday's QOTD.


:)

QOTD for Car Guys

Reflecting upon the following assessment on women by a woman

Women can be entertaining, but they’re expensive, inaccessible for most men, and from the male perspective, shockingly unreliable.

Francis W Porretto evoked an appropriate connection that you may never forget.

Well, yes, but you could say the same about Lamborghinis, and we certainly don’t stop desiring them for those trifling reasons.

Because it IS a Soviet-Style Media After All

The question -- answered by the headline above -- was asked by the man who has been tracking Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber all these years. 

Weinstein, back at home, was stunned at the reaction. Why did he keep finding Gruber gaffes? Why didn't the press glom onto this stuff first?

Yes Mr. Weinstein. A Soviet-Style media reports on only that news which allows the soviet-style government to operate with impunity; to hell with the voters it allegedly represents.

Furthermore, I recommend all read the article posted by Ace who highlighted this quote,

Meet the Guy Who's Single-Handedly Doing All of the Media's Jobs for Them

and then listen to the first 50 minutes of  Mark Levin from his show last night (11/10/14).

What is to be done about the revelations is problematic.

Any erstwhile leader who has even a plausible and not yet viable idea will indeed find many willing followers in America.

God help us. I suspect He is not getting any legitimate calls for help from the GOPe.

GOPe/Dem Coalition is STILL Steering

US over a cliff.


The elections just completed proves that a large number of Americans have had enough of the radical agenda.

The problem is that the GOP is not really a conservative party. It's an amalgam of conservatives and Progs. And the Progs are in the leadership and control the agenda. The nicest acronym used to refer to them is GOPe (Republican portion of the Establishment). Readers of this blog know I deride RINO (Republican In Name Only) and prefer SKUNC (Statist Kooks Undermining our Nation's Constitution). Whatever label you use for the GOPe, every principled conservatives has felt how it hates them.


In each and every corner of America a discussion needs to begin today. More people need to know that whatever mischief the GOPe manages to pull off in the next cycle, it is not the fault of conservatives.

The aim of that discussion is to come up with ways to divert the Establishment's steering of our republic over the cliff.

I'm an old man and I'm quickly running out of steam. If you think this idea is worth pursuing, then please comment below. I cannot contribute my assets, limited though they may be, to this effort if I don't even know you really want to try.

Remember Which Blogger Has Kept You Aware

#Ebola Czar Called Overpopulation Top Leadership Issue

What more need I say?

Maybe this.

Reread the warning under my masthead and consider bundling it with this story to those who scoff at such concerns.

Then pray that there are those near the highest levels of influence who will be reinvigorated with the holy spirit. That there remain some who still can affect changes in global policies that are not misanthropic and/or Malthusian pessimistic.

SSM Switches Gears

Here's the image of the pissed off community organizer that the SSM hid from America for six years.

Drudge headlines accompanying this image says
"CROWD WALKS OUT ON O"

Sure. The SSM wants to tell those it misled all these years that it is him who is the problem and not the deadliness that is their Leftist bent.

But those of us who recognize a character who is one (rather than having any) saw something our fellow citizens didn't see.

We saw this image before it was published.

It represents the soul of this creature from long before the time he became the darling of the SSM.

And what the American soul needs most is to understand how this is also the real image for every damned SKUNC in the country.

When he has a run in with a principled conservative, this is the image John McCain hides behind his smirk.

When she has to answer to a truly God-fearing man, this is image Hillary struggles to hide.

Peel away the smiling façade and this is what every Prog in the country looks like when they encounter tax payers who have had enough of Prog rule.

Know that SSM is disclosing this image because it thinks we are stupid enough to trust it now that it is willing to show Obola as he really is.

Don't buy it for a minute.

Falsehoods In Headlines and Fundraising

Obama Craters to New Low in Poll, Democrats at Lowest Approval in 30 Years

Let me either inform you or -- in a few instances -- remind you of some relatively recent history.

A few years ago, Robert Mugabe, president of Zimbabwe, had even lower approval ratings than this. And yet he won reelection.

And Saint Jimmie Carter blessed the election process. And the Western SSM blessed it too. No election fraud worth noting. Would they lie to you?

So you believe that such headlines are hopeful? Why? Because it's much better to be hopeful than angry, and that is how manhood in America has been conditioned these last few generations. Generations have been mouthing the last lines of the National Anthem while ignoring the implications of those words.

...the land of the free and [because it is] the home of the brave.

Certainly not brave enough to put an end to voter fraud, which is likely the most fatal of all frauds to any republic.

In case this is not enough. I received an email yesterday. Allegedly from John Boehner. It was so brazen in its request for money, I momentarily thought it could be from the Democrats employing psi-op counter-measures. Except the GOPe does think so poorly of its conservative grass-roots base that believe they can still get us to send money to them rather than to individual conservative candidates.

Speaker Boehner
To Me
Oct 14 at 5:58 PM
Pascal,

>Governor Mitt Romney emailed you <
> Congressman Paul Ryan emailed you <
> Vice President Dick Cheney emailed you <
> Governor Tom Ridge emailed you <

Now, I'm asking for your help.

Our team at the NRCC sent me the spreadsheet of recent supporters and I don't see your name on the list. We need all of our grassroots supporters engaged in these final weeks before Election Day.

The Democrats' campaign machine is desperate and it's stepping up attacks - if we don't have the resources to respond we could come up short when votes are counted.

etc.,etc.

First of all, if the GOPe really were interested in garnering votes, they'd be sending out emails for get out the vote (GOTV) efforts. From all reports, as well as from personal experience, this is simply no longer done.

But instead, they are begging us for funds. And you know how they'll spend those funds.

1. Largely spent buying adds that will keep the SSM quite well funded and tearing us apart with divisive stories, fictions, and mindless entertainment. 
2. And keeping the professional election fund raisers well paid.

Secondly, we know from their own words that the GOPe, led by Boehner and McConnell, has proclaimed that they'll not fight Obamacare or anything else that is unconstitutional but well established by now. Too many moneyed interests are making money. In other words, the GOPe are conservative in precisely the negative -- don't-you dare-rock-the-boat-or-else -- sense. I for one want nothing to do with them unless rope is nearby.

So if you, like me, are a conservative in the principled, constitutional republic loving sense, then understand how they are playing on your conscience that not funding them is doing not enough.

And if you buy that, you've already bought the proverbial Brooklyn Bridge and the GOPe's disregard for your intelligence is indeed well founded. This is our alleged alternative to the radical Progs? G-d help us!

Sigh. The Prog murder of our once great republic continues apace. Pray.

NRSC, Your Money, and Lenin

IIRC, Lenin famously predicted that capitalists would sell him the rope to hang them with.

It seems the Prog NRSC thinks it can beg conservatives for money with which to campaign against the grass roots but with which it claims it will use against Democrats. Bridge in Brooklyn unneeded.

Slipping away

NRSC Breaking News

To: Me
Today at 1:52 PM

After months of predicting GOP victory, the Washington Post's statistical model now shows a 51 percent chance that the Democrats hang on.

Why?

The answer is simple – the Democrats are spending over $40 million more than the Republicans in battleground races. For weeks, our candidates have been holding on, despite a relentless barrage of negative ads – but we need your help now or it's over.

I know that times are tough, that's why we're fighting so hard to bring new leadership that will turn things around. But, if we don't rally together now – as a team – then we will lose as individuals.

Can we count on you? [followed by links to donate]

They never stop.

Every penny sent to the NRSC is fungible. They may claim to use it for one thing, but it can be put to use where the leadership thinks the money will do them the most good.

The money will be spent not "to bring new leadership" as they promise, but to defend its incumbents and even to funnel some money to Dems in order to defeat real conservatives as happened in the Mississippi primary for U.S. Senate. 

And in Kansas.  And Nebraska. And in Indiana two years ago.

If you have some money burning a hole in your pocket, better to give it to the beggars outside 7-11. They certainly would do less harm to the republic than the Prog leadership that is the NRSC.

I pray SKUNCs in both parties are visited by an Eleventh Plague.

Let me be perfectly clear on this. That prayer is an update on the Tenth Plague. What they intend to happen to decent Americans winds up boomeranging back on themselves.

Here's Your Sus Worshipers America

From this weekend's Climate March in NYC

Pagan-like Sus(tainability) worship. Priest RFK Jr wants to jail all non-believers.*

This is the primitive Pagan type worship that your American government is establishing.

Fight, fight, fight.
See this as an example suggested in my series about the evidence that an American State religion is being created in violation of the Constitution.

* Environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lamented that there were no current laws on the books to punish global warming skeptics. From the same link were more links that provided us an insight to the more violent ideas influencing RFK Jr, suggesting punishments much worse and unlawful than merely jail.

Misanthropic Tactic Number 1

I'm calling this tactic number 1 of the misanthropes because their contempt for "lesser" humanity seems affirmed each time they can get some dunce to believe that large gains can come from small falsehoods. That they managed to sell a Brooklyn Bridge to the dunce at little cost and great benefit to them is only the practical goal. Proving there are so many dunces is what makes them feel best.

How better to shut down discussion of a hoax than to assert

"Even if it is a hoax, the end result must be good."

That is the message of this cartoon.

Fix it to read: 'What if it's a big hoax and we destroy liberty, lives and civilization due our gullibility?'

Retrieved from the FB page of the Watermelon project that goes by the name "The Story of Stuff."

That Story of Stuff series of videos is a complete throwback to the early Marxist anti-industrialists. The Left could never win where the middle class was benefiting by being "exploited" by all that industry. Most certainly not the generations closest to those that had escaped European and Asian tyrannies.

But now with the CAGW CACC hoax's never-ending  propaganda by the SSM and academia,  they have numbskulls (with no inkling of the despots their forebears escaped from) thinking that they own the moral high ground if only they go along with the hoax. (The morality component and how it is used is explained in my essay series Fighting the Growth of Theocracy in America.)

Indeed, one such fool posted

One of my favourite climate change cartoons! I've got it on my phone for a quick reply to any deniers who start carrying on about the matter.

as if the squelching of freedom is a small price to pay for a presumed better world. 

Here's the answer folks. Consensus built by cominterns to provide them cover for their hated rule have NEVER made a better world. The greatest advances have been achieved by individuals. Individualism is despised by collectivists.

Listen up you Prog megalomaniacs. 

The billions of murders you aim to achieve under cover of your Sustainability project will never be forgiven.  
Gene Roddenberry warned you of your fate in The Conscience of the King. Your own children will be driven to madness knowing what you began or -- G-d forbid -- completed.

SSM the Villain in Ferguson, Poll Says

Poll says? Why should anyone need a poll to know this?


Poll: Black & White Ferguson Residents Agree - Media Made Things Worse

On August 21 I posted this: How the SSM* Came to Be the Biggest Villain

If I can see it, anyone can see it. What's the matter American: gotta have a poll to see first if others will agree?

Damned cowards can't bring themselves to stick their necks out and speak the obvious -- for fear of sounding different.

Just because G-d did not strike you down for your cowardice doesn't mean He doesn't expect you to see your need to overcome it.

----------------
*SSM = Soviet-style media. This trait alone ought be enough to condemn them. In Ferguson it was so blatant that someone decided to ask the poll question. I'm sure the more moronic editors are proud of themselves when they should be fearful.

Fighting the Growth of Theocracy in America -- Part 2

I was going to follow up by adding some of the details I had removed from the draft in Part 1.  For now it should be sufficient for you to read what Og posted at Neanderpundit » The new priesthood of junk science, where he included much from that draft.

Instead I will provide you with some words that help reveal the nasty side of those seeking to establish Sustainability as this new state religion in America specifically; but ultimately all over the globe.

The alternate title for this post could be "Knowing Neither Morals, Nor What is High Ground"

Those working hard to make our society function like [Prince] Charlie's favorite slum aren't moving to their own collective farms. Instead they are transforming our society into the collective farm while pretending that their calculated destruction of our prosperity is smart and modern.

These words are from Daniel Greenfield's The Environmental Apocalypse published in April.

Five months later an anonymous convert to Sus worship felt compelled to contribute the following:

Fighting the destructive side of capitalist economies is not easy. So maybe the practices employed cause odd side-effects or don't pay as well as mining ores whose side effect is poisoning a town's water supply, but wouldn't you rather err on the side of caution for the sake of your kids and theirs when you're gone?

I'm often shocked by the attitudes conservatives have about the unknowns of global warming when they are so adamantly sure of the unknown of the afterlife. If you are good in this life with the aim of securing a place in heaven, why would you jeopardize the ability of those who come after you to have a good life when it is their turn? Whether there is a heaven or not, you will be good in the chance of going there when your time has come. Whether fossil fuels, CO2 emissions, etc. cause global warming, wouldn't you rather reduce this risk than to find out it is the cause and that you attributed to it? It seems so insignificant that people would lose money when it's weighed against your grandchildren living without food when severe droughts and lack of clean water or power sources could threaten the food supply. It seems that doubting global warming is like playing Russian roulette because the odds are in your favor, never mind that pointing a gun at your head is a stupid idea. 

This has very many incredibly off observations, so it would not be hard to fisk it merely for amusement.

For instance, since not all conservatives are religious it proves he's flat wrong about conservative certainty about afterlife.

Another example, more to the point, is how he sees caring for the environment as a liberal/conservative divide. That's a typical presumption of the indoctrinated Left. But it is over means where the divide appears. The Sus worshiper presumes any people who do not fall in line with his methods are -- when not cast as evil -- benighted at best; beneath him in understanding. His tone throughout his remonstration is bigoted: resistors are immoral by default; they can employ no reason in their defense.

That's only a small indication of the kind of danger inherent from a Sustainability state religion whose priests would help draft law. Much like Imans do with Sharia Law for IS.

Disagree only with his religion, he declares you a heretic.

Give him influence over laws, he makes you an outlaw.

Here is my response to anonymous, published on the same day his comment appeared. He was probably a troll as he did not respond.

"Whether fossil fuels, CO2 emissions, etc. cause global warming, wouldn't you rather reduce this risk than to find out it is the cause and that you attributed [sic] to it? "

Your argument relies too much on the Precautionary Principle. Using it, you have chosen fear of shortages as your religion. As such, you see it trumping all other considerations, including the most essential of America's promises to its posterity: defending individual liberties.

Not that you'd acknowledge it, but conservatives and libertarians wish to protect individuals from all religious zealots, including such as yourself who "knows" what's good for everyone else and their posterity.

Yours is a throwback to tyrannies that had all the rest of humanity in servitude of one form or another as symbolized by the broken chains at the feet of the Statue of Liberty.

Indeed, your fears of shortages are even more primitive than that. It's tied to ancient human sacrificing Pagan religions, the successful rebellion from which was endowed by  the Judeo-Christian ethos which your priests wish to eliminate and supplant.

Your views are uninformed because those who taught you your dogma need you to stay ignorant.

No poor anonymous: yours is NOT the moral high ground your priests pretend to stand upon. You are speaking from the pit of despair that Daniel, above, says that they've convinced you to accept for you and yours. And the actions you promote would throw the whole world back into chains so as to keep you company.

Do yourself the favor and break the chains on your mind before you find yourself thrown in the new gulags by those who trained you to be their useful idiot.

Part 3 "Those Forced to Pass a Religious Test Have Standing in Court."

The Best Indeed

 I received the following cartoon in an email that reflected the cartoon's compliment to itself.

I fear my correspondent did not realize how true this may be. That is not because of the words of Constitutional delegate number 1, but because of the implied comments of delegates 2 and 3. Here are the summations of their words.

First Constitutional Convention delegate:

"I keep thinking we should include something in the Constitution in case the people elect a fucking moron."

Second delegate:

"By then, sir, it will be too late.
Even the most astute commentators will constantly resort to vulgar participles to make their points."

Third delegate:

"Even worse than that sir.
The people will never, ever ascribe malice to ills when they may project their own stupidity on the miscreants. Their re-enslavement will feel better that way."

Fighting the Growth of Theocracy in America -- Part 1

There are two fitting alternate titles for this topic.

1. Fighting the Establishment of a State Religion in America. 

It is important to this discussion that individuals who might be subjugated by such an influence established in law understand the wider definition of religion. Religion requires no supernatural supreme entity for its existence:

Religion: a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance.

As will be discussed later, the new religion of the time is the supreme need of preventing world catastrophes such as CAGW er CACC. And pursuing what is known as Sustainability.

But first, let us examine the opponents of existing legitimate and currently peace-loving religions: militant atheists and anti-theists.

While extreme atheists and anti-theists are well known for haranguing those who think of themselves as theists, and even those who merely are tolerant of theists, they never utter a word about pursuits or interests of supreme importance to other groups that are used to drive the growth of government.

Indeed, one of the most visible of these anti-theists, the late Christopher Hitchens, was an admitted communist. Funny -- isn't it? -- how a media-renown and eloquent man such as Hitchens never acknowledged how his views on a "just" society constituted a religion for him.

Ah, but so it goes with all supermen who bemoan the obstacle of individualists. It must be upsetting for them to watch "lesser" men "foolishly" seek guidance from concepts outside themselves rather than accept guidance from men who know themselves to be superior.

Establishing a state religion, where heretics may be punished by law, surely seems like the kind of  solution of which supermen would approve for ruling the hoi polloi.

And just as surely, this is what America's founding generation was trying to prevent when they added the opening phrase to the 1st Amendment to the constitution. 

-- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; --

2. Our Need to Reclaim the Age of Reason from Scientism


Scientism: Belief that science has all the answers. Once a favored theory is accepted it is treated as if it were sacred. Any who disagree are to be stripped of their science credentials and cast out.

Scientism provides a wonderful tactic, when promulgated by a soviet-style media and Leftist bent academics, to move forward with unpopular policies "in the pursuit of truth as proven by science."


Of course no part of this charade is remotely scientific. Its purpose is to bestow the prestige of the science label on rationales for unpopular or unconstitutional government policies while simultaneously scaring most critics into silence and marginalizing the rest. When critics persist, then out comes an enforcement arm that seeks to stem unfavorable discussions of those policies not only by labeling them illegitimate, but by publicly discussing how prosecutions are being considered.

How the implications of this trend to establishing a state run religion in America threatens the onslaught of a new Dark Age will be discussed in subsequent posts.

Neverending Ploys for Ending Liberty

When I write about fighting the growing despotism, I see, along with many of you readers, how thoroughly the apparatchiks have penetrated our institutions and continue to run our lives based upon an ever increasing pile of lies.

So I often say we can only do that with G-d's help. When speaking to atheists, can that have any meaning? Yes, of course it can. I may imply nothing more than that we must fall back on physics rather than metaphysics, so that "G-d's help" wrings out as:

 "natural law has a way of building tsunamis of reality, like chickens coming home to roost, so that every stack of lies will inevitably be swamped."

Rhetorical question from Og: Like the global warming that has continued not to happen?

Yes, that hasn't stopped them from using The Lie as cover to steal our liberties incrementally.

Following Og's advice, I will continue to write short items like this before my writing skills cause them to grow so large nobody will ever read them.

Subterfuge

Something to ponder from a discussion on New Zealand racial policies at Crusader Rabbit.

KG says:

September 7, 2014 at 04:45 

YESS!
It needed saying and it needs to be repeated, again and again.
Returning to live in NZ, I’m surprised most by two things:
The widespread anger and resentment at the special treatment and privileges maori are afforded, and how afraid people are of speaking openly on the subject.

The Gantt Guy says:

September 7, 2014 at 06:16 

It really is quite palpable now, isn’t it? For a long time our political elites have fanned the flames of division and discontent, and yet they now seem surprised at the level of discontent they’ve fostered.

Pascal says:

September 7, 2014 at 07:34 

“and yet they now seem surprised at the level of discontent they’ve fostered.”

In a politician, “seeming” surprised by policy consequences is a survival skill.

Discontent “fostered”

Both foster and foment are synonyms of cherish. “Foster is often used in an unfavorable way. Foment is seldom used but in a bad sense, or of evil influences.”

The Gantt Guy says:

September 7, 2014 at 07:42 

Indeed, fomented would have been far better than fostered. One implies an active pursuance, the other passivity.

A war on individual human rights carried out by other means.

More Evidence of SSM; And Even On the So-Called Right

The following headline demonstrates too well what I have been warning readers.

Dogs Feast On Ebola Victim Carcasses in Liberia

The writers and editors at Breitbart.com surely know that human remains are called corpses and not carcasses. It would appear that they are trying to convince the creeps in this world that they agree with them: that all humans are no different than animals.

That there was nobody at the website with the humanity of Andrew Breitbart is evident in that they do not employ a headline editor who would prevent such a disgusting headline.

I submit this as proof of the problem I keep warning about all our commercial media outlets.

Unless more people take notice and insist on decency, your silence will encourage more indecency! And when it's done by our media, the damaging effects are multiplied.

It's even more appalling that only one reader thumbed-up my comment about this headline.
