Could Our Politics Get More Sullan?

By the time you finish this commentary, I expect you'll understand the pun in the title.

Redbaiter published another story about Obama's ineligibility to be president today. Democrat Researcher/ Professor Proclaims “Obama Probably Not US Citizen.”

I am still in the camp that sees nothing to gain from the BC issue. I look at it in much the same way there was nothing useful that came from impeaching Bill Clinton for his coverup of his affair with an intern. I do not recall any justice arising from the Whitewater scandal except maybe Jim McDougal's death in prison due his being "accidentally" denied his heart medication -- and he always had the appearance of a scapegoat.  Still worse, how many remember Monica Lewinsky but don't remember

• That China got the neutron bomb out from under Clinton's nose. 
• Or that China got missile guidance technology with Clinton's blessing. 
• Or that nobody ever was prosecuted for the WH's illegal possession of raw FBI files. 
• Or that nobody in Obama's campaign felt any legal threat from accepting foreign campaign funds (maybe even from Wahhabist influences) because nobody in the Clinton camp was ever prosecuted for accepting money from the Chinese military.

I could go on, but you ought to get my drift here. There are so many members of the GOP who've gone along with charades of the past, how could they not be openly playing along with this one too? What is so surprising about the Obama hiding all his history and yet the media and the GOP along with all but a few Democrats (like this Notre Prof.) keep pointing to the COLB as if that answers EVERY QUESTION about the fraud in the WH?

They pee on our backs and tell us it's only rain, and we're supposed to accept that?

I am continually amazed that so many people, such as RB, seem never to have heard the phrase "red herring." There is something amiss when otherwise smart people seem unable to admit that politicians staged fights so that they can pull off many things worse while everybody is distracted.

Anyway, back to the story RB posted this morning. The excerpt he highlighted

I will give you the unpleasant punch line upfront: There is sufficient evidence to reasonably conclude that Barack Obama is probably not a U.S. citizen, therefore constitutionally ineligible to be president of the United States.

The fact that he has been serving in that office would then be not only the most audacious hoax in world history — at least since the Trojan Horse. It also creates a constitutional crisis of the first magnitude that will take decades to straighten out.

Well, it might not take decades to decide if circumstances are made to appear dire enough. Power seekers might stage protests featuring this cry — “decades to straighten things are too long to wait” — and thereby lay the groundwork for the elevation of a “temporary” American dictator.

He might come to power in the manner of Lucius Cornelius Sulla who warred against Marius (the Roman proto-Marxist) and then outlawed (forced into exile) all Marius’ known surviving acolytes.” (Julius Caesar was one of those exiles.) But it would set in motion the final end of the American republic just as the rise of Sulla had done to Rome; that was despite Sulla seeming to have intended exactly the opposite result.

I warned against something arising like this a few years ago when I had no idea what might be the specific cause.
One Thing Will Save Our Republic. and it is not our own Sulla. Of course, in order to make that case I had to discuss the history of his rise.

I would think that all who would save the American republic need to be aware of that history. No?

----
That was the end of my commentary this morning. However, in retrospect, I still do not believe we have it in us to elevate a dictator or tolerate one who tries to seize such power. Part of the checks and balances that our founders put into our government was that our political leaders -- unlike ancient Rome -- could not simultaneously be military leaders.

That being said, that lack of us enduring a Sullan future does not forestall what appears to be sullen one heading our way. But it not that bleak either. It's a challenge facing you youngsters like none America has had to face up to before.

As I said in my earlier commentary on the subject, the one thing that will save our republic from the growing tyranny. It is a major restoration of our great cultural heritage by majority agreement, and one that is centered on the concept of God towering above all men. Nothing else has a real chance at defeating all the old hatreds that the agents of our out of control government has been rebuilding to divide us in order to enslave us all.

Malware Designed for the Heart

Guest commentary by Cond0010

In an effort to aid Pascal in his seeking to adequately nail down the "new" morality of those filled with animus toward the Judeo-Christian moral code, I'm adding my thoughts.


If you look at a people's culture/religion as an Operating System for the mind/soul to reside in and function, I would think that the new 'morality' is Malware.

Short-sighted. Unfounded. UNgrounded. Its the road to a shallow and dysfunctional anarchical society. Smash and Grab from those who work and redistribute to those who need (All mouth and no muscle -- an infantilzed society). Don't get me wrong, babies are cute and cuddly, but not as infantilized adults. We are raising a country of Baby Hueys.

Pascal notes:

UNgrounded is the aim of the cultural Marxists. It's hard to be courageous and stand your ground when the jokers have been hollowing out every underpinning in sight.

The new morality has been designed so that the people will worship men who'll promise to provide them more stability. Hence, the undermining of American culture I've witnessed all of my long life. It's a code that permits lies and hides costs, but "all for the greater good." It needs to be exposed so that men can make a clear and certain traditionally moral decision based upon their long obscured and waylaid, but often still present, God-implanted conscience.

The malware to which you refer is a good name for what C.S. Lewis wrote of in "Men Without Chests." There he reported on how our teaching colleges before WW II were indoctrinating new teachers. Teachers were to not permit the past -- with its lessons that came at terrible costs -- to influence the student's view of the future. The aim was to mold students to have an "open mind." This is why the "best" liberals never hear what you have to say about the lessons of the past. They've been inculcated to ignore it all lest they be seen as lacking that open mind their favorite teachers so treasured.

You and I may have been educated in different sorts of institutions, but the teachers for all institutions were affected by the same malware before they were sent out to teach.

That malware was needed so that the things like the new morality would appear acceptable without much complaint. Once present, anti-human, conscience overwriting ideas were more easily accepted by many of us. 

From my perspective, the destruction of the non-criminal individual's normal "live and let live" reflex was and is its purpose. It is to be replaced by something quite foreign to America. Our American skills have been harnessed to produce a machine run by a few ruthless men to rule the world. It remains hard to imagine how sophisticated such an evil plan and goal had to be -- now multi-generational -- from the start, but it clearly has been.

Yes. The new morality is parasitical off the old Morality.

Its purpose really is deconstruction of the old model so that the new model can take its place.

To take God out of the societal morality erodes and undermines the sanctity of the individual human being whereby we would merely be a human resource -- robotic meat to do the bidding for the masters until its function is no longer required.

Its conclusions are ominous -- especially with the progressives goals and attitudes towards 'the human animal'.

This chilling video is really not that far from the truth:



(I know, you've seen this before, but its worth repeating considering the fact we are talking about Moral Malware)

The feral happiness enacted by the progressive characters in this video encapsulates teh future attitudes of the Progressive Left towards those who do not think their way. What's even more horrifying is that there are those on the left who think this video is funny. This is a perfect example of those who have completely lost their Judeo-Christian ethic on human life. True Christians/Jews would be horrified of this -- even for their enemies.

Whats the logical conclusion if this moral malware takes hold firmly in Western Civilization? Well... There are a few agendas that are on the docket:

• The New World order where a small elite of the world will govern everyone.
• Greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced drastically because of Global Warming
• Eating meat is murder, causes global warming, is bad for your health etc...
• Obesity is bad and should be regulated out of existence.
• Smoking cigarettes is bad and should be regulated out of existence.
• Health care is universal and a panel decides your worthiness to society and the amount that you are repaired.
• A woman has a right to abort the parasitical infestation that grows in her womb.
• blah, blah, blah...
• .
• .
• .
• The World is over populated by Humans.

Simple disposal of excess protoplasm walking around should be rather easy once they get that whole uncomfortable 'God issue' out of the way with the upside of resolving the above said agendas rather easily.

Considering the convenience of the new morality and that being human is an evil thing, people ought to happily go to the disintegration chambers. If they don't like it they are being selfish and evil -- thus any disturbing issues of conscience for the Disposal Engineers are nullified and so they can happily go about their business, too.

Meet the new disposable future where we preserve teh world and dispose of the excess people (especially the 'undesirable' ones): A cross between Logans Run, the Stepford Wives and Avatar.

Life's Frustrations

Og cried out "idiots everywhere I look."

He's hardly alone. Worse, there are days I figure I'm the idiot for being quiet about it.

So in an effort to reduce the idiocy I attempt to drop a helpful hint in hopes that the man so encumbered will catch on and fix the cause of his troubles himself.

But there's a hitch. Most idiots can't endure even a vague inference they aren't smart enough to solve the problem themselves. So even solicited advice that goes against their druthers may abrade them. They would rather go on beating their heads against the wall. They not only ignore your hint, they go on imagining that it wouldn't help or do them worse. No good deed goes unpunished sort of retribution is apt to follow. I know of more than a few who -- never making news -- will count his blessings and continue to help his fellow man despite bearing the insults he receives in place of the gratitude he deserves.

I think I may have written about the "the idiot plot" before*, but I will again in brief just in case some do not know what  is. [*Update: A reader had to remind me I did write about it. It's a blessing to have friends as one gets older!]

The idiot plot was prevalent in lower than grade B movies and TV shows of the 50s. It's a plot that relies on a device wherein all characters do not ask the simplest of questions that would end all the confusion. The long running sitcom I Love Lucy frequently used a funny version of this plot device, mocking in its way the plots used in many film dramas.

I've walked out on more than one movie in my days because the only plot was an idiot one.

But how do you walk out on life itself? When the Dems lie and the GOP refuses to call them on it because it's not a good thing for staid Republicans to "descend to that level." WTF? And so the idiots continue to enslave our posterity with the programs that will feed the operators of the system far more handsomely than any "needy" group they claim their programs target all at the expense of the middle class and real human progress.  And the idiot plot continues on all because the party that is supposed to stand for the principles of the middle class are outright sellouts and will never tell their adversaries what needs to be said. (Gee Pascal, how can you believe that partisan bickering is all a charade so that the parties can share power between them?)

And then the really rotten part of what is happening to American life ought to occur to you! It's something that those who are supposed to be our religious leaders (but claim they can't lest they lose their tax exemptions) seem never to point out.

When this real world idiot plot never ends you gain an inkling as to what Hell has in store for you. And you whom help keep tyranny growing deserve it too.

"Hate" In This Postmodern Time

Be very careful about ascribing hatred to those who disagree with your point of view, or faith, or view of what is evil. Frequently those who claim others are haters are themselves looking to excuse their own hatred of the alleged haters.

This is the nature of the message delivered by the MSM Agency of Lies. There is no end to the number of people who claim they know what is in the heart of others.* They are aiming to get common folk to hate each other. For the Agency of Lies to do otherwise runs the risk that all the rest of us would ally with each other to defeat the despots.

Love God with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul and all your might. And love your neighbor as yourself.

*My efforts to define the "new" morality keeps hitting this snag,  That is because I think it may appeal to the decent who adhere to God-based morality to use evidence to ascertain what is driving others to do evil. And I fear I might do more harm than good. How much evidence must be present to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that an individual is a hater of humanity? I do not yet know the answer to that question.


The battle against the "new" morality could very well be fought and won with words if the words that define it are well enough presented. I am neither fool nor vain enough to believe that a single word could make all who've been misled see the light. But it may well be possible to reduce the number who are deluded by striking upon the most enlightening phrases.


Better to try and fail than to never have tried at all.

DOJ to Whitewash Obama Fuel Price Targets with Scapegoats

White House fraudulence continues.
Obama says new task force will examine gas prices

Excerpt 

RENO, Nev. – President Barack Obama announced Thursday that the Justice Department is assembling a team to "root out any cases of fraud or manipulation" in oil markets that might be contributing to $4 a gallon-plus gasoline prices.

Bummer is counting on the Agency of Lies to not remind his audience that he campaigned on raising gas prices, and that it has been his policy to raise gas prices using every agency in government from the EPA to Justice. The SOB is seeking scapegoats in order to take the heat off of him.

It will be up to the blogs to do the reminding, as I do not expect the talkshow hosts will hound him with a uniform voice on this. They might, and I surely love to be surprised, but it's really left up to the blogs and the individuals who read the blogs to remind their neighbors.

You are paying over $4 per gallon for gasoline because raising gas prices has been Obama's goal from the start, having even campaigned on doing that. He knows you don't like it. So now recognize that he's just declared that he will be using the Justice Department like it is the Gestapo in order to take the heat off of his own economy destroying policy.

"Be More Optimistic"

I heard this in response to my advice "enjoy it while you still have the chance."

He: Be more optimistic.

Me: But I am. I believe we will solve the problem. Don't misunderstand me. My fears are of the neo-pagan pessimists who in serving their god Sus would rain Hell on earth. People like yourself simply need to know now that those pessimists exist and how bad they are. You will need to know what it is you are fighting so you don't fight friends.

As for me, I still haven't nailed down in easy words what is the new morality. Those who still adhere to God-based morality need to know what it is in clear terms so as to be able to reduce the number of recruits available to the enemy.

Tide, Mudflats, and Quicksand

Le Mont-Saint-Michel, France

There are places where the tide pulls so far out one finds it hard to believe it will ever return. All that lays revealed may only be mud, yet that mud proves its allure every day.

Still the tide inevitably returns,often swiftly. It's so easy to be stranded out there. And that is even if one is not trapped in the insidiously numerous pockets of quicksand.

I have put together a slide show of  about 65 stills that were shot over about 12 hours.  Frames 25-30 were shot seconds apart to show the speed of the advance. Because wave action is miles away,  the advance is steady and relentless as it surrounds and cuts off higher mud.

It and a few explanatory notes (plus another man's art show I added late) are below the break.

Abetting Evil

Silence is agreement.

I know I cannot be the only man of average intelligence who noticed the key historical deletion in the history channel show yesterday. But I don't hear anyone else calling it out.

I found one more reference (other than the one in yesterday's post) to the historical event of the NAZIs walking out of the German Parliament in 1932-33 to prevent a quorum.  "Little Acorn" -- an anonymous commenter on a few sites to which I need to subscribe in order to converse with him. For what? To commiserate?

Look America. Your media will continue to get away with lies -- and continue to get worse and make it easier for tyranny to destroy this last standing republic --  unless more Americans start to call the media out for having become the single most untrustworthy institution in the country.

Your posterity is already going to have to pay big time for your somnolence. For being "nice" in the awful sense that Ann Barnhardt explains in her video from last year.

I must admit that this old memory of mine is not perfect. I do not know if it was an earlier History Channel showing of this show, or an entirely different one it showed earlier, or even if it was from another documentary or dramatic movie that I saw several years ago. What I do know is that what the Dems did in Wisconsin earlier this year, and what they did in Texas several years ago -- walk out in order to prevent business to be carried on as was their duty -- was a characteristic of the NAZIs as portrayed.

And THIS version of history that the History Channel aired yesterday deliberately left out that footage and the exposure of that tactic.

And even "conservative" talkshow hosts don't mention this. Who passed "Godwin's Law" and made it mandatory to exclude or ridicule any commenter who LEGITIMATELY calls out where any political party is behaving like the NAZIs did a little over 80 years ago in order to force event to allow themselves to gain total control?

To you theiving talkshow hosts who read sites like this and borrow some our insights without crediting us.

You talkshow hosts who invoke Godwin's Law I do not trust and neither should any other American. You are preventing complete comparisons. In many instances it may be truly inappropriate. But in this historical instance, it's fully functional you damn morons. Your Political Correctness Cowering is helping the Statists condition every American into silencing themselves. Are you Quislings too?

It would not take very long for this story to blow up in the faces of the Left, and their craven Statists masters, if more conservative Americans who despise the MSM (the Agency of Lies) were to check out the historical record and compare it to the stated goals of yesterday's show "how millions of people were so vulnerable to fascism."

Continuing to stay silent on altered or hidden or deleted events such as this is abetting evil. 

You can continue to call yourselves conservatives if you wish. But the Father of Conservativism, Edmund Burke, had this to say to you

All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

Are you conservatives, or are you really only cowards?

History Channel: Glaring Deletion

Years ago when the History Channel was new -- and better in my opinion -- they ran a show on the rise of the Nazi party and Hitler in Germany. When they got to the part where the Nazis had about 1/3 of the votes in parliament, they showed film of the party members rising as a group and walking out when issues they disliked but could not stop with votes came up.* The instability that arose due to the parliament then being unable to overcome the quorum rule led to President Hindenburg reluctantly appointing Hitler Chancellor. Hitler had them over a barrel as it were.

Well today the History Channel ran a show titled "Third Reich: The Rise -- A unique perspective on the rise of Nazi Germany and how millions of people were so vulnerable to fascism, told through rare and never-before-seen amateur films shot by the Germans who were there."

The TV listing say it's new, but I'm not so sure. Maybe "revamped" would be more accurate since much of this show was similar to the earlier one I recalled above.

When they got to the period just prior to Hitler being appointed Chancellor (about 25 minutes into the two hours airing time), all they stated was "On February 10, 1933, the Nazis were the largest party in Germany." It was an awkward statement, and quite surprising that was all they showed. After all, given the stated intent of this documentary, "how millions of people were so vulnerable to fascism," footage of that tactic was an essential one.

How could they in good conscience have deleted the part of the story demonstrating the means by which Hitler achieved his first big appointment?

Gee -- do you think -- that the deletion could have had anything to do with recent news events? Like when the Dems walked out of the Wisconsin Senate to prevent a quorum that was needed for a vote they did not like, my immediate reaction was to think of this scene.

I've labeled contemporary media "The Agency of Lies" in the past for good reason. Media continues to try and prove itself to be the most untrustworthy institution in the country.

Pass news of this deletion along my friends -- while you are still permitted to do so.

Too Many

The following is the gist of a short conversation with a pleasant young man of my acquaintance.

Me: "I really hate to inform you of this, but the odds are against my being permitted to live as long as my parents, and the odds are against you being permitted to live as long as me."

He: "Why is that?"

Me: "How many people are on Earth?"

He: "Too many."

Me: "That's the reason. Too many believe there are too many."

There was more to this conversation both before and after. But this portion reveals the insidious problem I've long fought.

Those retaining considerable allegiance to traditional morality and wish to fight to defend it will need to understand the "new" morality inculcated in the army of our foes. As my confidants know, I've been working on it for quite some time. My aim is to write it as clear and concise as I have done anything. I sense a well written statement of the "new" morality of our foes will significantly fulfill half of Sun Tzu's advise.

"Know your enemy" before going into battle.

On the Unreliability of Professional Talkers

I’ve been listening to Michael Savage since 1997. He, along with every other talkshow host, is feeding back to you and me our own common sense — kind of like the robber in the JS Mill quote* — and claiming it for his own.

The best thing is that they amplify our voices.
The bad thing is that talkradio associates the thoughts with the host, and that has been and will still be a deficit. The Agency of Lies and their Statist masters love to tar you and me with guilt by association.

I learned long ago, back in the early days of Rush, how to answer the parrots with their charges of “Ditto-head.” “No, you have it wrong. I don’t sound like Rush — he sounds a bit like me, but often comes to the wrong conclusions.”

Now we have the internet, and are not reliant on any leaders except when they have put together a good series of words as Savage often does. And Levin too. And each claims the other steals from him. The reality is that the underlying observations and conclusions are ours, and both those talkers ride point clearing the way for you and me. We simply have to understand that they help make our thinking more mainstream, and that’s a good thing.

But they often get it wrong, such as in their style and egomania and unwillingness to work well with others.

*The quote is below the break.

An Image to Tickle Your Psyche

Assume that many of Obama's acolytes believe he might be foreign born, but that is okay with them.

Well, they surely will denounce the copy of the alleged Kenyan birth certificate below as a fraud. And it might very well be a fraud.

But the next one may be legitimate.

So they worry. Oh how they worry. And they can't admit it, right?

Okay, now here's the image I've been chuckling over. It is one that I've verbalized in order to share it with you.

Wouldn't it be delightful to have hidden cameras on every beach Obama visits from now on just to take note of how diligently his entourage obliterates his footprints?

The above did not strike me as all that humorous at first. However, each time I thought about it, it was as if Obama had gone on yet another vacation. Somehow each subsequent vacation was becoming a bit more troubling for him than was his previous ones. I'm not sure what to call such a belabored spectacle, but there is something righteously laughable about it.

Obama Scores!

We could never get Bush to shut Leviathan down -- we had to push Zero to do it!

I hope this celebration is not premature. Spinelessness can still surface.

Spine

This is what it looks like men.

Especially at the end of part 2 where Ann Barnhardt broadcasts her address and phone number.

This is the exact opposite of Polictically Cowed, and so I approve. But it is not leadership with a plan, it is “I don’t give a damn, come and get me,” much like the last stand at the Alamo.

In many ways she was baited into this display. Dhimmi SKUNCs like Lindsay Graham goaded her to show him how she thinks he should act. And his words suggest that she’ll be the subject of Fed sub-rosa intimidation (since they lack the law to sanction her with). So in that sense at least Ms. Barnhardt is riding point and showing the way. In the coming days this lady will need support, and leaders with a plan need to line up and move into the territory into which she has intruded with her video.

With Ms Barnhardt we are not seeing the unattractive, inarticulate Pastor Jones with whom most of us do wish not to be associated. As she says, when Christians are offended by the desecration of their symbols, they pray that the desecrators be rid of the demons that possessed them to do it, and most of all, they aren’t demagogued by their leaders to go on violent rampages as Mr. Karzai has done. Mr. Karzai is our alleged ally, but Lindsay Graham chooses to single out American citizens and threaten American rights. That is no leader, that is a SKUNC.

Ms Barnhardt has manned up and gone in on point. I pray for her and our new leaders who (from all appearance not currently at the top) will arise from the lower ranks when it comes time to defend her.

Joan of Argghh! adds:

If education be the foundation of leadership, she has certainly schooled our would-be leaders. I don’t think she aspires to leadership. She makes it clear she aspires to the defense and protection of those she loves.

But leading by example counts for quite a bit.

Absolutely Joan. It seems she draws much inspiration from our men who fought WW II -- many filled with a spiritual fire that was essential (but rarely credited) to our win. She is demonstrating how Americans once regularly got pissed off. We see less of it now because the Cultural Marxists have long been incrementally undermining us with their termite-like invasion of all of our important institutions. It is much harder to be courageous when even too many religious leaders -- as she suggests -- have turned Quisling for the other side and have actively aided in the dismantling of every traditional moral value in sight. And of course there's the revolting PC crowd. Here's my latest retort "I'm not PC? Politically COWED you mean. Where'd these "leaders" gain the right to think themselves shepherds to all you cattle? For that is how they're looking down on you -- liked steers with no ownership of your own life." (I can hardly wait to see the fear in the eyes of our "lord and masters" when they discover there are many more bulls than they believed was yet possible.

On a cautionary note, I reiterate that I can’t shake the feeling that she and we have been baited by Lindsay Graham and all of the Agency of Lies, and too many in talk radio.

She marked herself as a target not just by jihadis, which is ballsy enough. But at least they’d attack her out in the open even if they choose to sneak up on her. It’s the cowards in our PC loving rulers against whom it is harder for us to protect her.

They would come like Lilliputians because they lack direct law to back them, and they’re too cowardly to do much else. They’ll attack her for violations of little laws, the number of which could well be staggering. This is why we INSTINCTIVELY are for small government, because we know the imps can’t pile it on then.

Our new leaders need to know how to effectively counter those intimidations and Lilliputian snares. For example, how do they keep gangsta government from tying up her bank account due to fines they decide to hit her with? So many ramparts to protect, so few recognizing that how much we need someone trustworthy to lead on the planning out the defenses.

And never forget this fundamental fact about our foes. Statism is defined as the complete control of all aspects of living. It organizes its own opposition and works to discredit any who have good cause to oppose the overreaching state. In the days to come Miss Barnhardt will need defenders. Be prepared. 

Making His Bones

To add to your distrust of Glenn Beck folder.

Did you hear Mr. Beck this morning? I swear, all the media is set up to confuse the masses, and Mr. Beck appears to be doing his bit to aid that confusion.

Of all the things he could have said about Pastor Terry Jones, his shtick was simply to mock Mr. Jones’ few words as given in an interview. He did this over and over again for the whole hour and on into the next like a running joke. The running joke should have been a series of riffs exposing the outlandish posture “oh you can’t offend Islam” playing in the halls of power and on the Agency of Lies (including FNC).

In the 2nd hour he was back to disclosing some news not playing elsewhere worth hearing, but by then he got a good portion of his audience tuning him out.

Worse, of course, is his attitude, like the one he displayed against Donald Trump last week. It serves only to discredit him, and that detracts to his message. Understand?

See, in his own way, Mr. Beck undermines our message exposing Statists exactly like Terry Jones undermines our outrage at Islamists who used Mr. Jones as the next excuse for their current week-long instigated mayhem akin to Orwell’s two-minutes hate.

With an alarming unattractive and poor spoken pastor like Mr. Jones, WHO doesn’t know they’ll be compared to him for getting angry at the dozens of people murdered? With Mr. Beck acting like an ass, who wants to be seen repeating the important news that he reports?

It is my conjecture from observation that Mr. Beck’s behavior could be no worse were he paying his “dues” for membership in the club of broadcasters (it fits this former rodeo clown who is used to taking his hits), or were he making his bones* for gangsters who have been cultivating dhimmitude worldwide. You know -- like DAMNED SKUNC Lindsay Graham did today.

Mr. Beck made Mr. Jones the object and not the overreacting imams and THEIR excesses, nor did he make a joke of the sniveling dhimmis that pass for leaders in the West. Did Mr. Beck play his part today? Did he do his bit to keep his bona fides with the powers that be? Was his stupid, repetitive, unfunny mockery of Mr. Jones his bit at running himself down? Is he the paid clown to discredit all the good info about many stinking stories simply to discredit that news when you wish to pass it on to friends and relatives? Remember -- Statism is defined as the complete control of all aspects of living. It organizes its own opposition and works to discredit any who have good cause to oppose the overreaching state.

Well, Mr. Beck is not the first on the Right we have learned to distrust like David Brooks or Peggy Noonan. His numbers are down — so maybe he’s desperate like those other two.

My personal opinion is that bloggers are far and away more trustworthy. Until they get paid or we find out they have been on some deep-pocket payroll — then watch out.

*If you think this metaphor is too extreme or too subtle, please click clarify below. If you don't know what "making his bones" implies in this context, try this.

Gangsta Government

The inspiration for this post comes from the murkier recesses of my memory. As I mulled the memory over, I did not recall whether or not it was my own hard-working immigrant grandfather or some oldster immigrants -- in a movie that may have featured Edward G. Robinson and Richard Conte -- who said something like this.

"This is why we came to America: to get away from gangsters like you. This is America! Get out. Get out!"

Now that I think about it again, it couldn't have been Pop. He saw what was going on in the early 50s and was quite clear that he thought that when (not if) the racketeers got fully organized in this country that they'd make those where he came from look like Sunday school kids. It took less than 20 years for me to see what he said was going to be true. (I'm still not sure my dad fully agreed -- I was ahead of him in seeing the decline of all protective American institutions. More likely as not this is another example of needing to skip a generation to find agreement.)

Here is where my memory of those words quoted above gets murkier still. I have a vague recollection that the immigrant oldsters (hah -- in the eyes of 5 year old me the characters may have been in their late 40s) were answered by a burst of sub machine-gun fire.

Must've been fiction. That would never happen here. /s

They who are seeking to take down America think because they've set things up for you to remain ignorant that you are also stupid.  Do what you can to see they are not rewarded for their rottenness..

Too Late? Part 2

Part 1 left me so despondent -- because nobody seems to care -- that I hardly commented anywhere last week, and did not write a new entry here for 7 days. That's a severe cutback on my output over the last 4 months or so.

This week I again point to two more who are catching up to the realization of which yours truly has been warning for a very long time.  They have a much larger audience than moi, so pray many more will also wake up. In the two related reports below you will see that at the least the people I'm highlighting are recognizing that the goals of, and legalistic policies thereby derived from, extreme environmentalists could not be any more misanthropic were that their intent.

Dennis Prager, in Thursday's second hour ("Corn is the New DDT"), commented on the report, as it appeared in the UK's Independent, about current chairman and former CEO of Nestlé, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe: "Biofuel policy is causing starvation, says Nestlé boss."

I recommend reading most of the link in order to understand the following plea by Mr. Brabeck-Letmathe. It is one with which I could not agree more.

"It is absolutely immoral to push hundreds of millions of people into hunger and into extreme poverty because of such a policy, so I think – I insist – no food for fuel."

Sadly, few understand that the Sus worshiping misanthropes responsible for the food-to-fuel diversion policy have a new morality, so Mr. Brabeck-Letmathe's words will surely fall on deaf ears. From what I can surmise, his calling them immoral is greeted with a knowing laugh similar to that of SKUNCs when they hear themselves called RINOs. "Of course we're moral, just not in the defunct Judeo-Christian way."

Mr. Prager's final comment comes very close to agreeing with me. The difference remains in that he seems unwilling to challenge them as to what they are up to.

"If the story is true, and I believe it is true, the policy is indeed immoral, leads to death and starvation. But for environmentalists, 'people are a bane on the planet anyway, and so what?' That may not be in their heart, but that is what their policies connote."

Please, Mr. Prager, use your microphone to press the question:

"Environmentalists and Liberals -- what is really in your heart?"

Why do I have the horrible feeling Mr. Prager will never press that question?

USA MSM Won't Defend Their Own

This is not even on foreign soil. This is in Florida. The US Government's Agency of Lies (aka MSM) won't even defend its own -- ultimately its own rights -- when it comes to this most dangerous administration ever.

The latest is the report seen on Drudge and most widely reported by the UK's Mail Online:

Vice President's staff lock journalist in a closet for hours during a fundraiser to stop him talking to guests

I did a web search and found not a single major American outlet covering this story. Do your own web search for "lock journalist in closet" without the quotes and see how long our Agency of Lies embargoes this story. When you read Drudge's account, you will find that even the badly treated reporter kept mum about his unlawful imprisonment in his first few reports -- as the single pool reporter filing on behalf of all media.

Imagine the firestorm by all "American" alphabet media had this happened at a GOP fundraiser for some dogcatcher position.

Too Late?

Why do I bother? Better known blogs and talk show hosts are beginning to speak as yours truly. But what of it?

Tonight, Wretchard writes in Downstream of Green,

Although “environmentalists” are often happy to see oil prices rise because it prices “carbon” out of the reach of consumers, its greatest effect on the Third World has been to raise food prices. The unrest in the Middle East are directly the result of unaffordable food.

But that’s OK. The Voluntary Human Extinction Project believes  “the biosphere of the planet Earth would be better off without humans. In VHEMT’s view, the human race is akin to an “exotic invader”, whose population is out of control and threatens other species with extinction, and only removal of the human race can restore the natural ecological order.”

And if there’s trouble in the Middle East, why just get America to bombing the living s**t out of the unrestful natives with B-2 bombers and the sophisticates can thereafter take the lead. Where extinction is concerned, why not just get the natives and the bitter clingers to kill each other. Extinction can wait a little, put off till the next glorious sunset.

Whether or not the Sustainability worshipers have wrenched control, they sure seem to have triggered helter skelter world wide.

Where are the optimistic adults? Are they too late?

I really like Wretchard, and supported him with cash early on. So I asked: "how come I could not get your discussion going on this several years before it came to this Wretchard? You’ve crossed its path many times, but I do not recall you calling out on their agenda the various architects like the VHEMT you cited today, and The Church of Euthanasia or the Georgia Guidestones, or the political leadership who never uttered a harsh word towards any of these."

And then there's another latecomer finally acknowledging the influence of Malthus and the Neo-Malthusians of the 1960s on public policy makers: William McGurn, Vice President of News Corporation (parent to Fox News Channel to the unknowing), writing in this month’s Imprimis newsletter (hat tip to the Dennis Prager Show).  But could you tell by his title? The Not So Dismal Science: Humanitarians v. Economists. [Beware -- The Hillsdale folks did not provide a permalink, so copy it if you want to keep it for reference.]

I guess he’s decided it’s now “timely” to relate to us the overly pessimistic influence of the Neo-Malthusians such as Ehrlich and McNamara.

Why is this so late, and written so obscurely? Are we to assume that the Establishment Right also harbors this death wish? Does the sun rise in the East?

Poorer people will be starved to death, or murdered for what little they have, as fuel prices soar, food is converted to fuel, and dollars get printed to keep pace.

Our “Intelligentsia” has a confrontational date with the Almighty, and I think they believe they’ll win. Theirs is the ultimate crime against humanity. DAMNED SKUNCs to my loyal readers.

Oh, for those who don’t know, as Mr. McGurn is now doing, I’ve long questioned the humanitarianism of the “humanitarians.” See up there, under my masthead?

If our "leaders" are so humanitarian, how is it that we never hear them direct a harsh word at the Malthusian, Utilitarian and Green nutcases?

Synopsis of Pascal Fervor, Updated

The full synopsis post is here. The following represents the portion that has changes in it.

————————————

What I mean by Pascal Fervor is suggested at the top of my sidebar. Blaise Pascal disliked those who destroyed things and especially people he thought good. These destroyers so aroused his ire that he dedicated his genius to defeating them. I, your humble commentator, call that sort of dedication "Pascal Fervor." I've tried to take clues from Pascal so as to move somewhat in the manner he did. However, lacking his genius and position of  influence, my efforts to overturn those forces that would destroy the American Dream may not be anywhere near so successful.  As a result, I sometimes call myself Pascal (the derivative.) That is, I have endeavored simply to move in the direction to which he was pointing.

The inclination of Blaise Pascal operating on a fixed moral plane.

This page was composed to inform you what this blog has concentrated upon most. If you'd like to help me in my battles, I provide a simple start at Irrationality Topples Kings.

What troubles me about our contemporary world is no secret. I've written about it repeatedly here and on my old website. Nearly every institutional policy and event that leaves us shaking our heads and thinking "I don't understand" may be explained by it to some extent. We tend to think of ourselves as so very advanced, but we humans are falling prey to the same sirens that have trapped us and killed us since antiquity.

The single most debilitating thought in our world is not often spoken, but I see it underlying everything today.

S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y.

Sustainability is the arch concern of "very important" people who are acting on behalf of the fear that there are too many people on earth. It forms the foundation for what I call their new morality. Unceremoniously, incrementally, they have been superseding the Judeo-Christian morality that is core to the culture that created the United States.
It means that a minimum number of people aim to maximize human decline with a minimum of fuss. To reduce the fuss, old wounds and feuds and prejudices and covetousness have been rejuvenated. We will be permitted to reduce ourselves. This blog remarks on the numerous instances where the evidence for this shows itself.

That is the short explanation of what is going on. I bet it's not enough for most "advanced" people. So, should you think you may need it, I've more.

What I am trying to do is pass along to you in this blog are observations driven by intuitive inquiry and conclusions reached by means of analytical skills I use as an engineer. Reading them may help you protect your life. Any difficulties you have in understanding me may not only be because I can be too esoteric (obscure) or too concise (insufficient details), but also because writing is a skill that I'm still developing and not easily.  If you're unsure of anything, please don't be embarrassed for me or for yourself. Be inquisitive and ask me for more details. I will attempt to answer.

It is my hope that many of you can simplify what I am saying to reach many more people than I could ever hope to do. That is the only way I know to maximize my impact -- to rely on decent people to get my warnings out to those they care about and build blocs to block the machinations of those who would eliminate all unselected individuals.
