Take Charge TEA Party

Will the House of Representatives fight?

So far the news is that there will be no overall challenge of ObamaCare funding for the continuing resolution to fund the government.
The 111th Congress included language to forces the 112th Congress to pay for the law that defeated the 111th.

And the GOP led 112TH Congress won't fight even in their own Rules Committee? The 111th Rules Committee created this atrocity, so the 112th's has the right to retaliate within the same body. Gutless wonders, eh? Quell surprise!

How about taking it to the Supreme Court?  Robert Byrd did that with Ronald Reagan's Line-Item Veto and got that overturned. The premise by which SCOTUS overturned it was division of powers.

What greater division of power can there be but that the voted out Congress can hold no strong arm over the current Congress? We have the precedent. Dig up and drag Byrd's carcass to the SCOTUS if need be.

Fight. FIGHT. F I G H T!

Do Not Be Too Hard On Yourself

Do not be too hard on yourself or on the rest of us. God knows there's some really rotten scoundrels who are willing to do that for you and us, and have arranged our education so that we have been inculcated — conditioned — to be accepting of their injustices to us.

This eerie warning came to my mind when gallant KG introduced Queensland floods…the OTHER story
one man's recounting of flood ravaged Queensland, Australia. In it, Gary Briggs of Dalby writes of the numerous [malicious?] institutional hardships piled onto the natural hardships visited upon both those needing help and all good Samaritans seeking to help them. KG, having read of the inanities suffered rather than revolting or even just risking a fine by telling the officious retards to stuff it, arrived at a sad conclusion that I could agree with in part. If I am a bit more optimistic, I pray you'll allow me that failing.

KG: “Below the fold is an email I was given. Read it and weep for what was once a tough, resilient people. Until we got off our apathetic, cowardly, lazy arses and begin confronting these bastards the madness will continue. And get steadily worse. Egyptians can brave bullets, water cannon and torture, and we can’t even risk a day in court and a fine? In that case, we deserve all we get.”
Well, here's where Pascal reveals weaknesses and regrets that, I pray, might help readers find solutions he failed to achieve.

Hold on KG. I understand your frustration KG, believe me. I bet you and I could match stories.
The lowlifes are given PULL by those who are gaming the system at the top. We have been left PUSHING. Guess what works best?

The 60s radicals used to speak about “getting it over the Man.” Who of our teachers ever explained that Marxism/Leninism was always targeting “the bourgeoisie,” and that means “the middle class?” We’ve been conditioned to not know we were targets, and at the same time “to suck it up like a man.”

If you have ever read the accounts by former Left brigader, David Horowitz, you know that in the 50s the Left had summer camps where they trained their “red diaper babies” how to assault Western institutions. Who on the Right offered classes in countermeasures? Nobody. We were subjected to the Left indoctrination centers even if a few of us resisted it. So now we are woefully two or three generations behind and far removed from generations that were NOT so indoctrinated! I sometimes feel like an undereducated, definitely unprepared remnant.

Individuals do not stand a chance without building their own blocs. The Left is filled with cowards who hide behind laws the Right is inclined to respect from the start — except for the unequal treatment that the gamers have CONDITIONED us to accept.

Nemesis may have trained his own kids to think clearly, as I have my grown brood, but it is not enough. I learned the hard way what it means to have failed to build blocs and train them to withstand — for the sake of our posterity and not just for ourselves — the forces who hate liberty. Maybe it is because I did not want to believe that such forces still existed — I don’t remember now. I do remember that I simply thought that right thinking people would rally behind me. I failed to foresee that there were schemers in the neighborhoods and city, and that they had loads of ways to undermine weak blocs.

I know what you might be thinking, because I think it myself all the time. I vacillate between “It’s too late” and “is it really too late?” I will simply relate to you something a wise man once said “Where there’s life, there’s hope.”

I wasn’t kidding when I suggested that men like Nemesis should be sought out to train the local kids how to put down the con-men. If they fail to seek out such teachers — and protect those teachers — THEN we will all deserve what we get.

You Knew Weasels Could Brew

You knew weasels could brew a tempest in a teapot. Take one word, infuse some heat into it, and stand back while the fools get all bent out of shape.

Well such major blow-ups of small distractions are the kind of side-show made to order to benefit the Alinskyites in our State Department and Obamitall regime. As they go about destabilizing the world, it sure does help to have the Agency of Lies at your disposal running all their pie-holes at once.

You will.

Long ago I told you that Sarah Palin was being Emmanual Goldsteined. There is nothing said about her that can't be manipulated. Even the daily two-minutes hate needs some variety from time to time.

I repeat: Stand back. Try not to get involved except maybe to point a mocking finger at those drawn in.

You Set the Standard When You Accept What is Rotten

I have known many people who are generally good people. However, even known monsters were seldom monsters all the time. Hitler liked dogs. Stalin liked potatoes.

I posted two factual observations which run contrary to God's word this week, and the better angels have nothing to add.


Of the many good people I've conversed with over the years, many who would not harm a fly have also agreed with the Malthusian observation at least to some extent. "Six and half billion people really is too much." The propaganda is winning and God's influence is all but lost there.

So, when I posted about the debasement of organized religion, I figure it's one of those other sacred cows that cannot be mentioned. It really may condemn those who are afraid to discuss it. Being afraid to discuss either of these issues means you are accepting the lowered standards being foisted upon your world. This is why political correctness is really political cowering, and why I say PC is merely censorship in disguise. Silence in the face of terribly devolving standards demonstrates how effective this new form of censorship has become indeed.

When you find you can't get a doctor because you've been deemed non-utilitarian, who will you cry to? God will have turned a deaf ear because you turned a deaf ear to the debasement of his church as you watched the shepherding be taken over by atheists and did not challenge it.

There are far too many willing to let the world go to the dogs because they believe that will hasten the final conflict. If you are among these, I plead with you to alter that view -- because it almost surely would guarantee your damnation. On the other hand, if you see the rottenness and cannot stomach it, and it pains you to see those you love being misled, then you must become a leader in favor of reform. Even on a small scale, you can set a new standard, can make a personal statement from your own reformed behavior.  Simply by demanding a higher standard for yourself you raise societal standards by at least that much. Even the faint-hearted have become leaders by doing at least that.

I've one friend who constantly begs off of this request. Because he's bright and clever and knowledgeable, his fate is what was once commonly known as a crying shame. Don't you be that way.

Religious Institutional Debasement

Of all Western institutions to have suffered debasement, I'm inclined to see that the most damaging to our social fabric has come about due to the loss of standing of our religious institutions. What debased first, the congregants or the institutions of which they once were members?

I'm on record as an agnostic. But I've only explained what I mean by that to a few who saw good reason to question my declaration. Essentially, the problem with the worship of the God whose core message made Western culture dominant, were the chief transgressors of its ethics. Critics -- likely agents of the next transgressors  -- love pointing to the old transgressors as proof that the ethic was  imperfect and therefore not a sure moral guide. That has been the moral relativists' plaything for a very long time. The schemers, knowing the dilemma is real, mock the faithful with  "Isn't your God perfect?" Who has effectively answered that recently?

Hence the debasement.

I'd like to hear some speculations as to why this is so.

Statist Tools: One-Way Outrage, pt3

Protected Classes, Political Cowering, and Censorship

This is part 3 of an analysis of how selective outrage is used to cow the majority of a free people so that they lose their right to speak freely (of grievances at first, and then nothing at all).

Part 1: About the advance of the Statists revealed in their exploiting of homosexual pride.
Part 2: About the ploy of creating the "protected" classes.
Part 3: About the silencing all but those who have been recognized by major institutions as members of a protected class.

Do you remember the public murders of openly moderate Muslims of the past? I certainly do. There's nothing like the murder of those who disagree with you to silence all those who think of disagreeing. It equates to the utmost in effective censorship of all visible opposition. It serves to have a demoralizing effect upon the now covert opposition because they feel isolated. When dissent is silenced, it becomes harder to know the true numbers of those who are like-minded. It is hard to know if one has the numbers that will gain one safety.

And right there, it ought to be seen how the goal of radical Islamists is akin to the militancy of the sort that was reported here.  Uncertainty in safety virtually assures individuals will accept the mind-control that so aids tyrants in their rise to power. As Orwell explained, Statists would to go the extra step to "Stamp out thought crime" by prohibiting an ever-increasing number of words. Their object is to make the thinking of rebellion virtually impossible, "at least so far as words are needed for thought."

What the public has come to know as Political Correctness is in reality a sort of early censorship created by what appears to be group expectations. In the norm, most people seek approval of the whole, and so that garners self-censorship. However, once enough people have taken on the self-censorship -- or mind control -- the government then has the numbers that permits them to legally censor one word -- or phrase or book -- after another. And it happens despite the American tradition and the individual's first Amendment assurances.

Let's go back now to the early advance of the Islamic radicals one more time. The authorities where the killings occurred were unable or unwilling to defend those who spoke out against the radicals, or even just spoke up in defense of moderation. Or perhaps the authorities were complicit with the radicals -- the end result of not seeking justice for those who were slain amounted to the same thing.

So we are all now suffering the consequences. Palestinians were subjected to such terror long before terrorism became our watchword after 9/11, because the world let it go. "Let the subhumans sort out their own crap. It's their problem, not ours." Whereas King Hussein was allowed to end the actions brutally (he being of the same "race") without censure from the world press, the Israelis found themselves much more constrained because the world saw them as a privileged class. The Palis became "protected." Long before the UN declared Zionism akin to racism, the World already was thinking of it racially. So the radical Palis were granted their special "protected" class status and self-destruction for themselves and their posterity ensued -- just as rotten world leaders had every expectation they would.

Whoever understands the purpose of law and justice cannot miss the message sent to perpetrators when the laws they violate go unsupported. When al Qaeda came along and widened those subjected to terror, why is there no accounting for the legal atmosphere that permitted their death-oriented culture to flourish? These were not mere chickens coming home to roost. They were homing pigeons.

Well, the fate of the earliest moderate Palestinians leading up to the plight of contemporary Palis should stand as a lesson about all militants at their height of intimidation. You would be hard-pressed to find a non-militant of any "protected class" who isn't somewhat intimidated by the militants of that class.

Nonmilitant homosexuals, when not made fearful or hate-filled by demagoguery, easily become nothing more than live and let live libertarians.

We see where many have been forced "out the closet" by the militants and were mortified when not pissed. They were -- or are if they didn't join the militants -- as much at the mercy of the militants as any class whom the Statists have decided are "owed" protection from the rest of society.

Quick review of other "classes":
  • Non-militant blacks are called Uncle Toms and Statist media gives them no fair opportunity to rail against their aggressors.
  • Non-militant woman are called female impersonators and likewise given no fair and equal access to respond.
  • Other people of color are called coconuts and denied the microphone granted their detractors.
  • Non-Left leaning members of Government are called right-wing (SKUNCs) and wing-nuts (conservatives), where mostly only the conservatives, when nearing a media mic, are shouted down.
On the other hand, Greens who were really communists in disguise, we have labeled as watermelons for years. But did we ever hear that label used by MSM in reference to radical environmentalists? For that matter, when was the last time anyone heard the adjective "radical” in reference to anything Left?" The last time I recall hearing it was in the 1960s, for instance: “the radical Mark Rudd.” Today, a reader of the NY Times would think there are no radicals on the Left. Scarily reminiscent, is it not, of the Leninist slogan "No enemies on the Left."

Conservatives and independents who fit into those protected classes dislike and want no part of "their" militants. Yet the Left-wing dominant media torments them by insisting that the militants speak for them. Thus these people, their voices ignored, find themselves worse than marginalized – they are painted as non-existent! If it's hard to imagine members of the Left being racist towards members of a protected group it is because other Leftists will claim their own people are really closet right-wing bigots. This is the meaning of "no enemies on the Left."

The broader public simply will not see this lie, nor those afflicted by it, until this scam is widely exposed. Are we so afraid of being called names by the Left who will assail us for exposing them? I feel it's never done in great part because of the influence of SKUNCs in our ranks, like Michael Medved, who will assail us with homilies like "two wrongs don't make a right." Hold on -- we who are not racist know how it feels to be called racist, so we shouldn't say that real racists are racists because we know how that feels? Well, that is our SKUNC-works. The GOP needed a varmint eliminator twenty years ago.

No, no. Such exploitations could never have taken place without the full backing of every facet of establishment media. A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about how we, the new Fourth Estate, should discard the Newspeak/doublethink label "Minitrue" and simply call the MSM the Agency of Lies, or as I labeled it at the time The Administry of Lies. Again: that's because sarcasm is dead.

The rotten Statist game can and must be exposed. More than a handful may listen, but I've no illusions.

What you're experiencing with the homosexual avante garde is a pattern that has been repeated over decades. Homosexuals are merely the wealthiest and well educated of the protected classes if not the newest (that's Muslims). Or should I have written "educated." Being a wise-guy has become wisdom in postmodernity. When the new protected class drops a wall on members of the wealthiest one, we'll see who's wise then, eh?

When it comes right down to it, the "protected" class is the deliberate creation of sub-groups in society so that the government "finally achieves some measure of social justice." It's really a way for those in power to get more power over the entire society it seeks to rule.

Social justice is a mockery of what is known as justice without any modifier. Social justice amounts to a judgment against the larger society, but without trial. There are not even any specific charges against specific defendants against specific victims. It all becomes an intentional blur, like the trick of an illusionist.

Essentially we are witnessing those in power assigning a punishment to the society at large on behalf of a subgroup for allegedly being treated as sub-humans. It's a collective guilt assigned based solely on the existence of differences. Cause and effect, the very core of rational thinking, has nothing to do with it.

And wait -- there's more. Because within any subgroup are found individuals as a whole who are not members of the other subgroups, everybody not in power gets swept up in the web of deceit that the deceivers label "social justice."  It's the government enslavement of the whole simply because -- well -- that's what the power mad ultimately seek!


And now here is what may be the most stinking thing about it all.  Members of the ruling class have from time to time been heard to utter the sort of blasphemous speech to which they point to as proof of the guilt of the whole rest of the society of individuals. However, it's only people in the outer circles who get scooped in, chewed up, and thrown out for such transgressions. This is the proof they've reached the pinnacle of power -- the license and the will and the thrill from inflicting pain without being punished as are lesser men.  The ages-old dream of all tyrants: to swagger with impunity as others cower.

It is hard to imagine that I've not thoroughly exhausted the how and why of subverting the American sense of justice. It’s possible I’ve missed a wrinkle of two. But I certainly I’ve made it clear what is the Statist motive.  Their political goal is the enslavement of the noblest asset of mankind: the human mind.  And from there, the enslavement of all Americans, so they are no longer free to prevent the enslavement of the rest of the world as they’d done or attempted to do countless times in the last century.

There is no tyrant more rotten than he who seeks to suppress and destroy the human mind -- and it all starts with the one-way street of Statist censorship dispensed in the guise of compassion.

No Problem Is Unsolvable with Far Fewer People On Earth

Overheard in a conversation. Says an MD to a well respected investment adviser:
"There is no problem that couldn't be solved were there less people."

Statist Tools: One-Way Outrage, pt2

Victim-hood, Demagoguery, and the Creation of Protected Classes

Part 1 of this essay had been inspired by the story Mike D'Virgilio posted at The American Culture last week. It was his response to me in part 1 which prompted me to expand a bit more on how the Statists benefit from victimoguery as exemplified in by those he reported on and also by those who attacked him.
 Divide and conquer is the oldest game of tyrants. I presume militants of all protected classes are vassals of the Statists whether or not they know it. 
  1. Statists bestow celebrity on those who effectively do the "job" to make, widen and keep the populace divided. 
  2. For each recognized class, co-opted media will place a mic in front of avante garde elements and cut to the ones who best advance, in the producer's opinion, the desired narrative. 
  3. The ones most effective at demanding more rights, and thus more power for the Statists, will be recognized by the "news" producers. 
  4. The media turns to them time and again. Several infamous ones surely will come to mind.
Turning the tables on all of Western Civ is Leftist activists' greatest achievement. It is through our decency (looking to aid those we believe are in need of our help) that they found ways to undo us; Alinksy rule 4: "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules." That's not irony -- that's the Left having it both ways!  

Statists who've gained sway over most of our institutions, nowhere more visibly than in mass media, foster and nurture divisions today worse now than ever before. And they do it all while flying under the false flag "tolerance."  

Because their propaganda machine runs 24/7, it behooves bloggers such as myself to expose, analyze and explain what we find as best we can and as often as we can. We have become the only alternative reaching out to the wider public.

After that, it falls to our readers to ask questions and even use the Internet to find out more; and then pass along what you find to be accurate. We can be a reasonably well informed army of individuals when each of us puts in some effort. If 1% of Americans do this -- and I think we are more than that -- we will make a difference. What more do I need to prove this than to point out how much the establishment is afraid of the TEA party?

And take this to the bank. There are those among us who are paid agents ("stimulus funds"), or have been convinced by paid agents who they think are their friends, who will yell that I'm crazy to try and get to the bottom of the lies and expose them. And to try to convince even liberals of how they've been used, "well that's the craziest of all." Do. Not, Fall. For. It. The Statists have not yet won. It's not just your liberty which is as stake -- it is your posterity's.

Any individual who WANTS to survive the collectivist thrust to limit his liberty needs to lean on the liberty he still has.

Bottom line is we can make outrage a two way street and thereby reclaim our right to speak and overcome the "frequency jamming" poured out by the Statists' Administry of Lies.

Part 3 will discuss how effective has been the creation and exploitation of "protected classes" because there had been for decades no fair public scorn of this game.

Whoa: You'll Think You're Dreaming

when you read ‘Mentalist’ Episode Provides Strong Pro-Liberty Message.

In the way this TV show installment plays out, one might think this is long lost Mission Impossible episode. You know the formula: the IMF team foils some despotic third world ruler through guile and finesse exploiting the bad guys' weaknesses, and using the overwhelming resources of a bigger, better government. Back when America was more reliable.

If only real life would play like that.

Hey, enjoy it. This may be all that our postmodernist Hollyquid mavens will allow us anymore.

(The real solution is to band together in a bloc and protest city halls of this kind, using words very close to that of the protagonist. Oh -- I'm dreaming again. Sorry.)

Our Fight Against Lies

Exactly how skilled have those with evil intentions been able to disguise their machinations?

Wabbit in These really are shameful times' exposed how idiotic was a lie about global warming. But the fact that the lie could be refuted did not
  1. keep the liar from uttering it
  2. keep the MSM Agency of Lies from repeating the lie.
  3. reach all those without access to the Internet.
  4. faze true believers, incubated to fear truth as a vampire does sunlight.

As I did a bit of cheer-leading for Wabbit efforts, it occurred to me that this was a good time to review an old machination of the liars. It was one that served them in the past when they were still wearing the misunderstood, well-intentioned liberal disguise.

Keep on exposing all Lefty lies; it is a good thing. But it is important not to beat around the bush; call them lies when it’s clear. Be clear, and avoid sarcasm; because as a tool to reach out to the audience, sarcasm is almost totally dead to all but those already in our choir.

The Left and the Greens and the Agency of Lies, lie about everything. Especially their intentions — which allowed these malevolent  "Progressives" Incrementals to overwhelm those who tried to prevent them from gaining control of almost every institution. So now it’s left to us on the Right, itself riddled with moles like you see in your National Party, and I see in the GOP, to call it as they lie.

It’s a very difficult thing to fight when our side is afraid to speak up. To make the world safe for us who fight the lies, we have to beat the censorship that they disguise under the Newspeak and double-think label they invented and keep alive called political correctness (which is the topic of another of my posts).

For a good example of the problem, I’m going to use the Left’s own BS. Was Lefty film maker George Lucas laughing at us or inadvertently warning us at a climax in "Revenge of the Sith" exactly how skilled evil has been at disguising its intentions?

I am speaking of the scene where Senator Palpatine, his treachery revealed, whined successfully to Anakin so that he could kill Mace Windu. All the lies Palpatine had been telling Anakin earlier apparently paid off in that moment. It allowed the future emperor to turn the tables against the forces for good.

Is that our future too if we let down?

In order to defeat the lies, they must be exposed as often as possible. Eventually the foolish Anakin tools may catch on. But it also helps keep us from being divided by more lies. The money the Statists have to keep the Left in the business of lies is nearly endless.

Again, call out the lies wherever you can expose them. It's a trait of leadership. Do not be afraid.

Ace's Idea Hasn't a Chance In a SKUNC Filled House

Obama: I Will Veto Any Bill Which Limits the EPA's Nonexistent Power to Regulate Greenhouse Gases



Ace: I Think I Just Found A New Amendment For the Debt-Ceiling Bill


Pascal: With a house filled with SKUNCs, wanna bet what'll happen in a showdown? How about a smaller bet that your idea never even passes out of the GOP dominant but SKUNC filled House?

Ace, you sure are gullible for a guy who flies the flag of a buccaneer. 

Evil, Not Stupid

The lines at the end of this xtranormal creation are as clear as a bell to those of us who understand the dangers of large government. It naturally occurs in the arrogance and stupidity of those who think they can rule millions and billions of people. But it also lies in the evil of those schemers who have been telling the wannabe rulers that "you are the best and brightest," and so they must resist the temptation to listen to the common sense of the people.

[If the following video is NOT "Why Obamacare Was Ruled Unconstitutional" please notify me. Blogger has put something else there once, and so could do so again.]


Lefty: What upsets me the most is that the judges are the ones stopping ObamaCare.

Freeman: What's the difference?

L: Judges are supposed to be on my side.

F: Always?

L: Yes. The court system is supposed to be filled with liberals like me and act as a fail-safe in case the voters disagree with us.

F: That doesn't sound like democracy.

L: Democracy is over-rated. People are dumb and need to be guided by the best and brightest.

F: So you think people are too stupid to make their own choices; unless they work for the government, in which case they are brilliant enough to make choices for everyone.

L: Yes.

F: I guess I'm still waiting for the best and brightest to show up.

L: Sorry. People like Obama and myself are as good as it gets.
These lines are meant to be funny. What's makes them laughable is the utterly unlearning from failure, knee-jerk doctrinal responses of Lefty.

But what if they're willing to look stupid just so long as they can implement the dangerous policies?  Then we are witnessing evil and not stupidity, and evil must be fought. Evil intentions are no laughing matter.

Left undeterred, the forces that are attempting to implement ObamaCare will pick off individuals one at a time.

Let me say that there was one interchange that did make me laugh though:
L: I can't understand how ObamaCare lost in court. Didn't Obama say he used to teach Constitutional Law?

F: Yes; but he never said he was good at it. 
Tip that may add to the humor here: see The Dilbert Principle President series.

SKUNCs, DAMNED SKUNCs, and Statist Icks

First, let's salute cynical humorist Mark Twain, who made most famous the line bowdlerized by the title of this post.  However, the treachery I'm addressing is no laughing matter. Statist icks is really quite an understatement. If anyone can suggest a more disgustingly apt term, be my guest.

For those who may be new here, yesterday we concluded a 35 day long search for a more accurate acronym than RINO. A Republican who, due to declines in the electoral institution, finds he no longer is held accountable to voters he allegedly represents, remains a republican still until the republic dies completely. The acronym I liked best was SKUNC -- Statist Knowingly Undermining National Charters. However, it's an acronym which is a suitable label for all those seeking to subvert the fundamental charters of their nations for the benefit of a few.

So I've kluged together an additional acronym to tack on before SKUNC:

Deceitful American, Morally Noxious, Elitist Defenders of Statists Knowingly Undermining National Charters

DAMNED SKUNCs refers to members of the Republican Party who view conservatives with contempt, and will sell out American sovereignty to the detriment of the whole world. They are worse than the radical-Left dominated Democratic Party. At least the Dems have made little secret for their contempt of America and her middle class. They've been actively subverting the US for at least 50 years, and makes no show of loyalty to founding American principles. But the GOP is the ostensible opposition to that -- and our SKUNCs are the lowest form of human life known: false patriots; moles; fifth columnists; Quislings who lack the former heroics and stature of a Benedict Arnold.

It's not perfect, but I personally like the sentiment.

That they are willing to sell out the US of A makes it clear to every other nation in the world that the United States government at every high level is now totally unreliable in a pinch. House Speaker John Boehner on Egypt sounded like Jimmy Carter! No effing wonder that Mubarak and Jordan's King Abdullah are looking for the exits.

I say that if the prayers of men who have yearned to be free are heard, that once the United States is subverted to the UN or some other globalist entity, the US SKUNCs would most certainly be the most damned among a whole host already damned.

Ask for forgiveness and turn on the other DAMNED SKUNCs while you still have a chance, you dumb bastards.

And the Winner is "SKUNC"

Many thanks to all the contestants who entered. I hope you all had fun poking fun at the members of the "progressive" RINO unfaithful, deceitful wing of the GOP.

The winning entry was submitted by Guy S, proprietor of the blog Snugg Harbor.  Congratulations Guy. Check your email to find the more substantive thanks for providing me with what I consider to be the acronym with imagery that most closely fulfilled my request. 

Guy tried many entries until he struck on the acronym SKUNC. Guy played with variations on the words that comprise SKUNC, which is the essence of what wordplay is all about. When he came up with what I considered the leading candidate to win the contest, I encouraged him to rearrange the underlying he had so that no articles or prepositions were required. So he came up with
Statists Knowingly Undermining National Charters
shortly thereafter. This works because the drive to undermine all western nations so that they accept a global government appears to be the foremost common attribute all over the world. Like suddenly the words of John Lennon's Imagine -- "imagine no countries" -- are now permissible to incline towards, if not openly utter, everywhere around the globe. The fact that the "leaders" so represented stink of their duplicitous intentions, makes them all candidates for the label SKUNC.

Now, once we recognize that there are a wide number of national "leaders" so inclined, why not go on to the next step? Why not recognize that the SKUNCs are setting the stage to make their countries vassels of an international body?

Well, the current body that comes closest to that is the UN. Guy and I and Joan of Argghh! have found one formulation that is most agreeable to all three of us. We think that
Statists Kneeling to United Nations Control
pretty much provides a vivid  image of the international "dignitaries" bowing to the new world order and giving away their country's sovereignty by treaty. If the United States does that, a signed and ratified treaty could put its armed forces under the command of the UN or whatever new name the international body finally decides upon.That would provide the UN the clout it now lacks. No country on earth could withstand her, and that includes us in the U.S. of A.

To my mind, the Kneeling version pretty much describes the behavior of the as yet undeclared globalist leanings of those in ruling positions or high elective office around the globe. And so I personally recommend "Statists Kneeling to United Nations Control" to any and all who might care for a new descriptive acronym.

So far the only leaders who appear to be running against this trend toward a new, but now world-wide, collectivist government, are those in a good number of the former iron curtain countries of Eastern Europe. But that remains to be seen.

There are some very powerful people -- the type who cast but shadows on Plato's cave wall -- who are on the verge of achieving an ages old dream of world domination. Does anybody believe a few small bloc Eastern bloc nations, Switzerland, Singapore, and Taiwan, are going to resist this force, do you? Once the US has succumbed, all are doomed.

The "shadows" think that the only force that could stop them now does not exist. And if He does, well, why not force His hand and get it over with? We are witnessing the age of the truly arrogant and dangerous. I pray the bulk of us survive it. Innocent human life is sacred. Innocence should not be weighed based upon the usefulness of the life as subjectively determined by the human animal determinations management of they who seek to rule Earth.

P.S.
We still do not have [Update: we do] a special name for the "progressive" Statist members of the Republican Party for which RINO I find thoroughly inappropriate and laughable. It is their activity over which is most threatening. Should they vote with the Democrats, there would be enough votes to sign away United States Sovereignty under the treaty provisions of the US Constitution. Should they go far enough, they will give away to the UN body the full power of the US and its military. That would be the teeth for enforcement the UN currently lacks. For those traitors I've a special modifier for SKUNC that I plan on revealing tomorrow.

Let today belong to Guy S.

Statist Tools: One-Way Outrage

My title refers to the deliberate polarization of discourse, so that reasonable discussion becomes all but impossible. To me it is clearly straight out of the "divide and conquer" playbook, a climate where demagogues may too easily destabilize our society.  

Mike D'Virgilio, writing at The American Culture, believes that Elton John has revealed the True “Gay” Agenda. After providing us the raw evidence, Mr. D'Virgilio summarizes the message being sent:
In order to not be held in contempt by Elton John and his ilk (how very tolerant of them), I have to “respect” his lifestyle. I am forced to believe that the anal cavity is a sexual, um, receptacle, when it is obvious from nature that it exists to deposit bodily waste, or I am worthy of publically being the object of a vicious vulgarity. And not only that, but the one who hurls such an insult can be “cheered wildly”.

Those who happen to believe that homosexuality is not only unnatural, but immoral, whether that is on religious grounds or not, are accused here of saying that homosexuals are not human. I am a Christian, and I don’t believe such a thing and I don’t know of any Christian who believes such a thing. But such sentiments stated have one purpose, and that is to demonize; ironically it is to itself dehumanize.


You can see very clearly here the real agenda of homosexuals and their supporters. Either we accept their moral standards, or we will be considered societal and social pariahs.

At the end, Mr. D'Virgilio gets very close to voicing the point I'm making -- that this is another Statist tool -- but doesn't quite state it that way. He concludes:
If the very nature of marriage is redefined in [law by elitists on high], the liberty of a huge segment of the American people will be effectively nullified, which is exactly what they want.

I was going to suggest to Mr. D'Virgilio that what he saw revealed was much more than the the true gay agenda, but the ever more rapid unfolding of the Statist agenda. Indeed, his antecedent for "they" in that last paragraph were "the progressives and the left and the elitists."  But the casual reader could too easily believe "they" are the gays rather than the bigger fish. And that would miss the larger message revealed by his efforts.

I wanted to say "Mr. D'Virgilio, why not go on to the next step and see how this reveals the misanthropic agenda that so few in power dare admit?"  The number of onslaughts on America are now coming in quick successions. Those exploiting the homosexual community, by staging such  vulgar and over-the-top self parody, are quite literally what they are meant to be: shock troops. Stunning. If they have the desired effect on our larger society -- to paralyze us by its audacity -- then we are more readily overwhelmed by the other onslaughts on our liberty.

That last emphasized statement I held off for this blog. It was too off topic and potentially controversial to introduce in a comment at another man's blog.

Instead, I wrote out the following that I hoped exposed the same thoughts so that he might arrive at the same conclusion. My humility inclines me to believe I have little chance at success, and will almost certainly expose myself to angry rebuttals (at best), but I pray I helped him what I see.

This is why sarcasm is dead. It is virtually impossible to parody what is itself a parody of life.

Homosexual love, with or without any explicit act, produces no new life. Mr. John wants to share in the respect society has reserved for those who endure the whole task -- the joy, pain, cost and effort -- to look to build the next generation by their love without making that commitment himself.

It's even worse because Mr. John demands respect from those to whom he grants none. What do I mean by that? Note that Mr. John has no harsh words for those on his side who regularly hurl the bigoted slur "breeder." It appears in signs and in comments at gay events, yet one never hears a word of reproach of such bigotry except in mock reproach.

The one way street demands of extremists once were easy to parody. When counter-cultural warriors regularly make a parody of the lifestyles they claim to champion, what avenue is left to cultural defenders?

The technique that Blaise Pascal pioneered, that led to the freeing of the human mind, has been neutralized. The parody of his lifestyle that Mr. John and company exploits is a broad copy of celebrity roasts wherein targets learn to develop both callouses to incoming criticism and a callousness in being critical. The old court jester's purpose employed in postmodern times. Thus, they have developed immunity to parody by going beyond the parody and embracing it. And then they are free to go on the attack themselves against their critics, real and imagined.

I surmise that what we are witnessing here is just another effort to put out of bounds certain thoughts. One thought attacked after the other. It is the deliberate attempt to close down freedom of thought. Such repression is regressive on its face, the trademark tactic some call PC -- that I've relabeled as Political Cowering -- that is the "Progressive" way.

The respect Mr. John demands is but one step removed from the respect demanded by a misanthrope. "I hate people, and you display your bigotry by not showing any respect for my anti-human agenda." *

(*That's a topic too long to explore in a comment that is already too long, but it is the next step the Incrementalists have moved on to. That aggression is frequently exposed to criticism at my blog.)

Consequences

Andrew Klavan has another humorous demonstration about where good liberal intentions are leading.



But Mr. Klavan only suggests all this in biblical terms and images. I've no idea why he did not connect the Hell he is suggesting to the Hell on Earth so many other humans had to endure in the past and even today as subjects of Leftist tyranny.

So I will take it that extra step. Ironically, it will be the Left who'll be the most unprepared. Pray for them when you pray for America and yourselves. Honestly, they know not what they do.

When the liberals and Leftists are no longer needed, they will be chewed up by the all powerful state they helped create. 

When the false promises fail, as they must, the most visible Leftists will be sacrificed as scapegoats. The process is so progressive regressive that it's positively pagan. This follows from the premise that the total state is infallible and the "there are no enemies on the Left" doctrine. 

The schnooks will be demonized as counterrevolutionary fascists, forced to confess, and then imprisoned, brutally punished, and slowly and painfully killed. It may even be broadcast live as there will no longer be need to hide these practices. Their consequences will serve as warnings to all the rest of the subjects. 
"Be still, accept your fate, and we may let you live a bit longer and without extra pain." 
The promise of The Terror will have come into its own.

Fight the Advance of Stalin's Children: The Chinese Side

While I was searching for a version of the Soviet Story with English subtitles, I found this documentary/commentary on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

In part 1, the theme is that the CCP essentially forced the formula that Power Seeking = Struggle, and Struggle = Violence

It represents misanthropy on unprecedented scale. Merciless seems lacking to describe it.

Of the 100 million methodical murders of subjects under Leftist rule during the 20th Century, an estimated 65 million were Chinese.

Think of a multibillionaire who thinks nothing of wasting 100s of millions of dollars. Then think of those seeking to rule our world with its 7 billion people. What do you think they will they do with their "surfeit" of subjects? They never tire of showing us.

Fight the Advance of Stalin's Children, Updated

My apologies Readers 

Although this version is narrated in English, it has subtitles that ARE NOT IN ENGLISH as was the original that I'd posted about before. There are several segments in this one wherein Russian and other speakers are not understandable because the subtitles are in another language other than English.

As you view the one below, you miss out on too much of the narrative to carry the story -- and so the film loses much of its effectiveness.


I will continue to search for the return of the English subtitled version of this film that I'd seen before. I will update this thread again when I do.

Thanks for your understanding.

The videos of the astounding documentary film, The Soviet Story, has become available again. This time it is in two parts so that maybe it won't overload this host's servers.

Part 1
[There are videos that may not appear in some feed streams. Click through to the blog to see them.]


Part 2

For my commentary on this film, and why viewing it is important for our times, please go to my original post Fight the Advance of Stalin's Children.

Ameristocracy Targeting TJICs

In comments to my post inspired by the "I am TJIC" campaign, I was driven to think about stunning new challenges that the American citizen is facing. We are living witness to the buildup of unprecedented top-down edicts and concomitant restriction on individual rights. The destruction of our culture and its nurturing of good leaders is the cause, but it's not yet fully destroyed in those who remember our ethical legacy.

What prompted this were comments by an anonymous troll, who fashions himself as speaking for "your betters."

The interchange which followed led me to the following observation:
I'm not the type who'd file a complaint about the threat [to me by the troll], but someone must have in Travis' case. [Is there any doubt that the Feds prodded locals to act on their behalf?]

In 1993, Clinton signed the Omnibus Crime Bill which, IIRC, made a capital crime out of killing a number of (~100 different) Fed elected officials and bureaucrats. That made them a protected class under Fed law -- as if local laws were insufficient. I do not recall if "threats" real or imagined was included in that law.

So, maybe this is what Cowardly Threatener meant by our "betters." They're protected better. So the Left, which favors large govt, gets to threaten us explicitly without being hassled, but the Right is threatened by the govt who lodges complaints over imaginary threats.

Og, doesn't there seem to be a post developing here about the unequal treatment under the law lending itself to effectively SUSTAINING an American aristocracy? Look -- anyone not anointed by the political system to be allowed to run for office, or be in their
recognized media, CANNOT speak a harsh word against anyone in government lest it be construed as threatening.

Sounds like a Catch 22 doesn't it? That's some catch, yes-sirree. 

Og, the Neanderpundit, God bless him, DID write  "its good to be king" in a justly inspired post today. Pray that others take up this theme. Here's why.

Our "public servants" -- formerly our equals -- have written laws to make a protected class of themselves. They have special standing before the law* and are seeking more of it. They have, in their own minds, risen above their station of, posh, "public servant," to rule over their former masters (the citizen).

Watch for them to write new laws and seek special treatments for themselves that would sustain their new elevation. Making of themselves an American aristocracy, or Ameristocracy. It a concept that even sounds criminal.

TJIC is ANYONE who dares speak against their seizing of power beyond the limits written in our constitution.And there are a lot of us. They are fearful of losing all that they've schemed to achieve by any and all means available. It's like the Godfather ethic. To them "It's only business." Maybe this is why Eric Holder rounded up all old Italian mob bosses.)

Hence, they are targeting all TJICs.

"Thank you very much for identifying yourselves" is the next campaign of intimidation to expect from their lapdog media Administry of Lies. Thus, as Og wisely sees, this nascent Ameristocracy is  behooving us to speak out loudly.

Let's kill the notion of Ameristocracy in its incubator before they arrange our demise.

---
* A protected class with special standing are the people whom my mentor, Blaise Pascal, helped bring low. He used sarcasm to embarrass the "betters" of his time into backing off. His efforts succeeded decades after his death. The Age of Reason ensued.

Our "betters" are shameless, so Pascal's methods no longer work. The type of people Pascal helped bring down are about to reclaim their crown. If you don't like that, recognize what has happened and keep this history lesson in mind. Sarcasm is dead. Use real emotive words, even new ones that convey the sudden and varying threats clearly, and not doublethink words, while you still may.
