AGAIN, SUPPORTING ZIONISM IS NOT A CONSERVATIVE POSITION

    Human history has shown us that, in societies with low literacy levels and substandard or nonexistent educational systems, it doesn't take very much ability to be esteemed as an intellectual. Today, as in Mediaeval Europe, it generally only takes a wealthy patron who can promote an intellectual's status and a few basic abilities possessed by the intellectual himself to become a respected authority on nearly any subject serving a given patron's interests. In our system of Managed Democracy both the Mainstream and Controlled Opposition employ such people and inflate their reputations to give them credibility.

   We all know about such characters infesting the Left, but the Right has no shortage of them either. Dennis Prager is a prime example. Prager was a mediocre figure in Academia until he found a patron early on in a pair of Texas billionaires who run a very cultish Texas megachurch which denies Trinitarianism, salvation by faith, and holds to keeping of the Mosaic Law. They went on to found PragerU which is Prager's academic front organization. PragerU's producer is a former Hollywood figure named Allen Estrin and the CEO is Marissa Streit, an Israeli-American former Jewish day school principal, who had served in an intelligence unit of the Israeli Defense Forces.

    Prager blessed us all recently with another of his brilliant takes on the Civil War in Palestine. Previously he informed us that anyone opposed to the Israeli Government was a racist, anti-Semitic meanie. Today, he informs us that pro-Palestinians are also pro-homo equality Left-Wing Whackos. No, seriously: his article even bears the title, If You Say Men Give Birth, We Know Your Position on Hamas.


    I don't know why we have to keep reiterating this point, but the Israeli Government is even further to the Left than the most rabid 'Blue States' on most social issues. Just this week, they became the first country to approve the sale of synthetic meats, for heaven's sake. Israel is the only country in the Middle East allowing abortion and not only accepts---but actively promotes---the homo 'equality' agenda. Israel is a bastion of Radical Feminism too: they conscript women into their so-called 'security forces' and put them in combat positions. A lot of the Christians currently in Gaza, BTW, were forcibly deported there after doing things like objecting to mandatory Vaxxes during the Scamdemic. 

   Just for the record, the last time I checked, Hamas takes a fairly strong position on family rights, and recognizes Christians as a protected minority. How anyone seriously believes in spite of voluminous evidence that Hamas is somehow fighting in the interests of the American Left and Israel is not, is astounding. Nonetheless, Prager says so, and since he's an expert, he must be right.

   His stellar logic comes out as this: "These are some of the morally and factually perverse positions of the left. Just about every individual who holds these positions also holds the morally perverse position that Israel is the villain and Hamas and its Palestinian supporters are the moral party!"

   First of all, it isn't true that those who hold the perverse positions on the Left don't support Israel. As the link in the preceding paragraph shows, the leading political figure in the US who's accepted the most money from pro-Israel causes is none other than our own current Head-of-State himself: Joe 'I am a Zionist' Biden.

   

 

    There are some genuine Whackos on the Left who appear at pro-Palestinian rallies with Rainbow Flags and such. It's not even out of the realm of possibility that these are actors employed by Zionist interests to discredit the Palestinian Freedom Fighters in the eyes of the Right. Such things have been known to happen before in America. But whether or not these protesters are complete fools or Zionist plants (or both) isn't the issue here. The issue here is that Prager is promoting a guilt-by-association narrative which he can't help but know is nothing but a deliberate lie.

    Another of Prager's falsehoods is his assertion that "Those on the left unwittingly acknowledge the connection between their anti-Western positions and their Israel-hatred. They routinely attack Israel for being 'an outpost of Western civilization.' That is precisely what Israel is."

    First of all, being an outpost of Western Civilization is precisely what the Zionist Regime is not. An outpost of the World Economic Forum, maybe: but certainly no defender of Western values or civilization. Practically the only Palestinians able to leave Gaza and get work in Israel are members of the LGBTQ Community and faux Libertarians in the US routinely express fear that a Hamas victory could cripple Israel's extensive marijuana industry.  

    These are specimens of the Western Values that Prager and others on the Right insist that we should be defending. American Conservatives aren't even doing a good job of fighting for Western Values in our own country; and now they want us to fight for a Regime that doesn't defend them at all. Prager says that "When people say that men give birth and that men can compete in women’s sports, they are seeking to undo the bases of Western civilization: truth, science, and the belief that we live in an ordered universe," on the one hand, and then demands uncritical support for an openly Left-Wing technofascist police state which forces homo 'inclusion' on its population and conscripts women into their military on the other. 

    Prager talks about moral compasses in his article, apparently blind to the fact that the lack of any moral compass is driving much of his own ideology. He has proven himself again and again to be nothing but a charlatan, a hypocrite, and an amoral pig who, like most Academics on the Left whom he criticizes, would sell his services to the highest bidder.

DRUG ADDICTS DESTROY SEATTLE ART GALLERY

    Just we thought that things couldn't sink much lower here in the Exceptional United States, news came from Seattle yesterday that some homeless bums high on who-knows-what drugs started a fire in an alleyway which ended up burning the Davidson Art Gallery. The extent of the damage is unknown, but priceless paintings by Rembrandt and Picasso were destroyed. The verminous Seattle Media naturally showed more sympathy for the dope-heads than they did for the irreplaceable cultural losses sustained. Picasso and Rembrandt are only Dead White Males anyway; and the City needs to move on to more pressing things like banning lawn mowers to fight Climate Change.

   In an actually sane society, drug addicts wouldn't be running wild on City Streets and starting fires to begin with. Unfortunately, we're long past that point in the US. Homeless Advocacy is a flourishing business on the Left. The Right wants to get such people off the streets---as long as that doesn't involve actually paying for the facilities needed to do it. With one side profiting off the problem and the other unwilling to do anything about it, tragedies like this will keep happening and likely with greater frequency.

   Midway through January, I don't think many of us are going to argue that 2024 has gotten off to a great start. In fact, it's been like this since the start of this decade, if not the whole of the 21st Century in our corner of the world. Americans seem to have gone through a collective Nervous Breakdown at some point. Four years ago in the same city of Seattle, a gang of Anarchist thugs took over a whole neighborhood, proclaimed it an independent country, and carried out a Reign of Terror for nearly two months. This year, Right-Wing anarchists have gone even further, taking over an entire State. The head of the Pentagon ended up in the hospital without even notifying his own superiors; meanwhile the mighty American military has been humbled by such world-class powers as the Yemeni Army, Hamas, and the Iraqi Resistance Militia. As if to underscore the situation here, the Junta's Foreign Minister Antony Blinken gave a speech to his bosses at the World Economic Forum today claiming that the world wants more US interference. Blinken left the conference two hours later only to find that his Boeing 737 had broken down on the runway

   The American public response to all of this is reminiscent of a Nervous Breakdown: a general apathy at one disaster after another on the one hand, and outraged hostility at anyone who disrupts the illusion of tranquility and security by pointing out the facts. 


    Recently, I came across an article written during the Scamdemic where a writer suggested that repeated national traumas that we have been exposed to during the last 40-50 years have resulted in what sociologists term Anomia. Anomia, in a clinical sense, is a condition experienced by those who have broken under stressful losses or disruptions: 

   "Anomia exhibits self-centeredness, reduction in altruism and compassion, distrust of others, apathy or hyperactivity or a vacillation between both, and can develop alienation and anger.  Another characteristic is a shortened time depth.  The past is irrelevant as a guide in rapidly changing circumstances where rules are too few or too many and may be in conflict. The future is unpredictable. However, a romanticized nostalgia can develop along with a desire to recreate an idealized by-gone state. The norms attributed to that idealized state represent a comforting order.  They establish true north no matter what the compass indicates. Living in an anomic world, it is each one for one’s self.  Not surprising, one doesn’t have much time or emotional energy for others. Lack of compassion has become a lamented trait in contemporary American society."  

   That description certainly does seem to have become a New Normal in American society. Anomia is deliberately encouraged under our system of Inverted Totalitarianism through the Strategy of Tension. The problem, though, with the Trauma Theory advocated by the author of the cited article is that it overlooks that the 18th, 19th, and early 20th Centuries were also periods of collective stresses and social changes. Some of these were even greater than we face today. Yet Anomia wasn't an American characteristic then---far from it. The earlier periods were characterized by American ability to come together and solve problems and devise new and bold means to do it. 

   Alfred Adler, now another Dead White Male but once a leading social psychologist, pointed out that stress alone could not account for the differences in reactions to it. For example, a girl who grows up in a sexually abusive home may become a hater of all men and turn to prostitution, lesbianism, or radical Feminism. Yet there many others who go the opposite way and become very devoted mothers, model wives, and productive members of society. The common denominator in both situations is that the trauma existed, but the reactions reflect two different drives to cope with it. Adler believed that humans possess an innate awareness of their own inferiority and that human development is a striving to overcome that. His beliefs are paralleled in many religious teachings about human consciousness of sin and the desire to reconcile with God.

   Anomia, on both the personal and sociological levels is induced less by stress and trauma than by what is popularly known as Learned Helplessness. Traumatic events can cause Learned Helplessness, but generally it is almost invariably the product of intentional manipulation. In such a condition, the victim suppresses his innate will to work toward achievement and resigns himself to his fate. In the broader sociopolitical application, Learned Helplessness is the complimentary antipode of the Strategy of Tension. The state of powerlessness is intolerable for a person and is bound to release itself in anger and rage. The manufactured fear and crises encouraged by the Elites provides a managed outlet for that rage. Thus it happens that the majority of Seattle residents and Americans generally can look up the cultural loss of the Davidson Art Gallery with an indifferent shrug, while others take to fighting among themselves while never addressing the situation that give rise to the disaster in the first place. 

   Before the Rent-a-Skeptic crowd chimes in with their eye-rolls and sneers, consider that this dynamic as a deliberate social policy is nothing new. Most of our forefathers lived under exactly such a system. The Royal degenerates of Mediaeval times used to decorate themselves with crowns, expensive clothes and jewels, and live in walled castles high above the common man and travel with elaborate carriage-trains. They hired educated sophists to overawe the population with learned sophistication: all of this was intentionally designed to emphasize that resistance to such superior and powerful beings was futile. 


   The founders of modern self-governing republics liberated themselves and their countries by exposing the illusion of powerlessness and the fraud behind the contrived fears. That is precisely what our generation needs to do; reject these charlatans and understand that we don't need them or their fake solutions.

  This realization is exactly what the Oligarchy most fears, and to that end, their top leaders at this year's World Economic Forum Meeting has declared that restoring faith in institutions is the top agenda item for 2024. Coming on the heels of last year's theme of combating disinformation, one can see that the Elites are growing a little concerned that too many of us are starting to see through their smokescreens and reflecting upon the fates of previous autocratic leaders may be causing them a few sleepless nights. 

   There's no doubt that the Oligarchs are going to react in some form, but what's more important is how we react. Disengage, disunite, disjoin from their programs as much as possible. Reject the Narratives and don't enable them by participating in their farces. If they force you, obey; but never volunteer. Take initiative to deal with problems without them whenever possible. Enough people who take this approach will grind their Great Reset to a halt and encourage others to resist. 

   A good example on an international scale occurred this week when Turkey announced a boycott of the WEF Annual Meeting. In response to a nationwide movement, the Turkish Government also recently cancelled federal contracts with WEF-connected firms like Nestle and Coca-Cola. There are several similar movements throughout the world with online lists of companies to avoid circulating along with encouragement to buy local. We need such a spirit here, too; and if we really hope to make America great again, this is the approach that we must take.

GAZA 100

       In Upside-Down Clown World everything looks like it does through a mirror, sort of like those girls who take selfies and all the words on their T-shirts are backwards. Unfortunately, more serious perspectives also get reversed. 


     For example, the Biden/Harris Junta informed us this week that, despite four days of bombardment, the United States is not at war with Yemen. Today it was reported that two of our brave xhes in uniform disappeared while "searching for a shipment of Iranian weapons to Yemen’s Houthi rebels." What really happened to them we'll probably never know; but it should at least be asked why, if we aren't at war, are interdicting arms shipments? That's assuming, of course, this the real reason for the incident in the first place. 

    The Deep State organ, The Wall Street Journal laconically remarked about the incident: “it sure looks like the Houthis and Iran are at war with the US.” It ought to be remarked since it seems to have escaped the Mainstream Media's notice that Yemen actually did declare war on Israel and this shipping we're supposedly protecting is in actual war-zone. The bobbleheads who pose as 'security experts' seem genuinely shocked that enemy ships get targeted in war, or that countries that get attacked actually fight back. It's as though they've become so accustomed to Americans rolling over at their threats that they assume other people will too. 

   The average American living in a city is also by now so accustomed to seeing people crowded into make-shift tents, boarded-up buildings, random violence, and unsanitary conditions in their own neighborhoods that they don't recognize the Genocide in Gaza going on. Indeed, the war has entered into its 100th day and the civilian death-toll has topped 30,000. About one-third of these casualties are children who don't have the strength to withstand embargoes of food, medicine, water, and sanitation that adults have. The region is on the verge of a famine. Sadly, though, in today's Reverse Reality, denouncing genocide earns one the labels of racist and anti-Semite: just like bombing sovereign nations isn't really an Act of War. 

   Are we surprised though? Only a few years ago, a flu outbreak became a global pandemic. A fentanyl overdose became a Civil Rights issue. Anarchists seizing whole city blocks became a 'Summer of Love.' 17 States petitioning the Supreme Court with evidence of voter fraud became 'baseless allegations.' A protest became an Insurrection. That all happened in just one year. Among other lies we've collectively swallowed over the last decade are that homosexuality and abortion are natural acts and fundamental human rights; that vaccines and foodstuffs don't need to be tested for safety before they're consumed; that weather-balloons are threats to national security; that Plutocrats are working for the public good; and that bad weather is caused by fireplaces, lawn mowers, and eating too much red meat. The biggest hoax of all in 2024 is that voting will fix everything. 

    Reality, however, has a way of making itself felt. Yemen's supposedly neutralized forces struck a cargo ship with a missile that the Navy couldn't seem to stop. The ship is owned by US-based Eagle Bulk Shipping, which in turn is owned by a consortium of financial octopuses. The Pentagon claims that there was no damage or casualties, official statements however need to be taken with a large grain of salt.

    Iran, which recently expropriated a Greek-owned oil tanker caught smuggling oil to US energy cartels, launched a series of missile strikes against known terrorist bases in retaliation for the ISIS-linked bombing at a ceremony in Iran last week. One of these obliterated a compound near Erbil, Iraq near an illegal Pentagon base. The target was being used by Israeli Intelligence. The Pentagon apparently became so terrified at this show of force that they hastily abandoned their base near the Qamishli Airfield in Eastern Syria. This is the first of these illegal outposts to be liberated. 

        
    Both the Mainstream and Controlled Opposition Media seem strangely quiet about this new round of humiliations. The situation in Gaza also seems to be discussed less and less. The Zionists---who have been trained and equipped by the Pentagon---have killed a lot of civilians but gained very few military objectives and taken substantial casualties in the process. Zionist strongman Benjamin Netanyahu is not sounding overly optimistic that the war will end as quickly as he and Biden had hoped. 

   I suspect that the reason that we're not seeing war-fever being whooped on at the same level of intensity as late last year is because the Deep State is beginning to realize just how pathetic our military really is. Before they could blame defeats on their military proxies, but the fact that both they and the most heavily US-dependent military in the world are getting upended by Arab Militias is fairly clear signal that we are not in good shape. They're likely having second thoughts about taking on Iran, which actually has an efficient and well-prepared army. 

  The Controlled Opposition, which never otherwise misses an opportunity to exploit a Junta failure. is likewise toning down its overheated rhetoric on the Middle East. The GOP realizes that once questions start being asked, they'll be eating crow with the Democrats and nobody's going to buy into their 'It's-all-Biden's-fault' counter-narrative.

   Like all bullies, the Corporate Deep State has found itself in a conundrum. They don't know what to do or how to react when others fight back or they can't get others to do their fighting for them, which is the situation they now find themselves in the Middle East. Their strategy now seems to have shifted to stir up more distractions among the American public while they quietly slink away, leaving others to deal with the consequences.

O, IOWA

    So, the Iowa Republican were held last night, and the President-in-Exile won the majority of the delegates. The actually numbers were 52% for Trump and 48% for RNC Establishment candidates with one of the lowest voter turnouts in Iowa history.  The Controlled Opposition Media is spinning this as some political shock-wave, the harbinger of a Red Tsunami whereby the GOP will sweep into office, wave a magic wand that solves all of our problems, and saves us from ourselves. They seem to forget that when Trump was in office before, he got almost no support from his own Party and that most of his accomplishments were things he could do through the Executive Branch. He was constantly being sabotaged in his own Cabinet because he couldn't find enough qualified people to carry out his agenda. 

   One of the wise guys in the out-of-touch Conservative Punditocracy opines that a Trump resurgence will parallel the Reagan Revolution of 1980. The basic problem with how most of these people think is that American culture in 2024 is no different from what it was in 1980. 

   For example, Reagan rebuilt the US Military, which was suffering from low morale after Vietnam and the Carter malaise. But Reagan had a military infrastructure that he could build upon. Trump didn't have that, and certainly won't have it in 2025. Recall that Trump ordered the Pentagon to withdraw from Syria; end patrols in the South China Sea; submit annual performance audits; remove the base in Okinawa and relocate it Guam; and discontinue military exercises on the Korean Border. The Pentagon ignored every one of those orders. Trump forced the Pentagon to review convictions under Obama's purges, several were overturned, but the officers and contractors involved were never punished. Low recruiting standards and Pentagon DEI programs went on as before; and ultimately during the 2020 riots, Trump could barely scrape together a force capable of defending the District of Columbia. In the end, his own Chief-of-Staff General Milley was preparing to overthrow him if he contested the election.

   The Administrations of both the Clinton and Bush years gutted essential military services and farmed them out to their Wall Street cronies who get lucrative government contracts which cost the taxpayers far more than when the Pentagon ran them. In addition to that, it took away professional and educational opportunities for young Americans who joined these support services to obtain valuable training that they could use in civilian life in exchange for service to the country. Additionally, that service had the by-product of a trained and experienced Reserve Force upon which we could draw in a national emergency. That infrastructure is gone; and despite what GOP candidates say, nobody is going to wave a magic wand and bring back our military infrastructure. Not only do we not have personnel to do it, these same corporate crooks reinvest their largess into lobbying firms to pay Congressmen to keep the Status Quo in place.

   Speaking of military personnel, by the Pentagon's own admission, nearly 3/4 of young Americans are unfit for military service. What they have in the ranks is hardly any cause for celebration, the standards having been lowered to include known mental illnesses. Corruption is rife throughout the Pentagon's higher ranks and crime is out of control among the enlisted ranks. They can't control either their supply chains or guard sensitive information. The rank-and-file personnel is struggling with obesity, drug addiction, and gender dysphoria. How is an election going to solve any of that? 


   The failure of our society to invest in future has led to this situation, and trying to shift responsibility onto one political party or another instead of facing reality has brought us here. Where are we, for example, supposed to get generals like Ike or MacArthur from? They're supposed to appear out of thin air and turn our military back into a fighting force overnight? West Point, Annapolis, and the Air Force Academy have been churning out Diversity Officers and Human Relations Experts instead of commanders for decades. The results of this are shown over and over again in actual practice

   Another example, which we discussed here is the fantasy that somehow, some way, American productivity will re-appear magically on our shores if we just change Administrations. The Reagan Administration strengthened our sagging economy; but in 1980, again, he had a skilled workforce and an economic infrastructure to work with. In 2025, we haven't. Since Reagan left office, Wall Street freebooters have outsourced most of our industrial base and we have invested no training whatsoever in either skilled labor or skilled management. Meanwhile, these same Robber Barons have been allowed to concentrate even greater and greater segments of our domestic economy into their own hands. How is voting going to change that?

   


    Contrary to what the pundits say, and most people believe, societies rot from the bottom-up and not from the top-down. True; once the cultural rot has reached the upper levels changing it from below becomes more difficult, but at the root of the matter is that our own negligence, selfishness, and desire to evade responsibility has brought us to where we are. Say what we will about the state of young America: parental failures, negligence, and shifting responsibility to outside institutions produced what we have. None of these candidates will dare to say that; but it happens to be the truth.

   So what do the politicians and pundits tell us instead? Give us more power; vote harder, work harder, sacrifice more, make do with less, and pull yourselves up your bootstraps. Or, more accurately: they promise that you won't have to make such sacrifices, but your neighbor will. A self-absorbed, risk-adverse, opportunistic people shouldn't be surprised when they get leadership of the same stripe and ultimately such a social attitude leads to Authoritarianism.

'COLLATERAL DAMAGE' IN THE BORDER BATTLE

    We've speculated for a long time now how long it would be before one of these anti-immigrant publicity stunts freely engaged in by so-called 'Conservative' governors would get somebody killed, and it finally happened. Texas Governor Greg Abbott---an obvious psychotic whose mind is as crippled as his body---illegally ordered a cohort of Texas National Guardsmen to seize a Federal border post and close an international border. A woman and two children aged 8 and 10 drown in the Rio Grande River while Abbott's thugs not only stood by and watched; they prevented authorities from even rendering assistance. Mexican authorities arrived, but it was too late to save the victims. To give an example of Abbott's mindset, he stated at the time of the Border seizure that  “The only thing that we're not doing is we're not shooting people who come across the border, because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder.”



    The Media scum, when they've reported about it all, have been spinning the Official Narrative as though Abbott and Biden were merely debating a point of law; and in fact the Junta's response to all of Abbott's provocations has been to punt the matter over to the Court. When we had actually had a real president, things like this were solved properly. But that was then, this is now. The Biden/Harris Junta deserves a lot of blame: not because of the phony GOP talking-points about stopping an 'invasion,' but because they have allowed the situation to escalate to this point. They did nothing when these activist governors targeted churches as places to round up migrants and deport them across State Lines to be dumped in areas unprepared to receive them. They took no action when these Governors violated International Law by erecting barriers on a Federal Boundary. They aren't going to do anything because the Junta doesn't care about human life any more than these Republican rats do. 

    The Left can't sit upon any moral high-ground. They've met all of the legitimate concerns many Americans have about Immigration with sneers and appeals to pseudoscience like Systemic Racism and Toxic White Male Angst. Instead of meeting the Extremist Right with reasoned arguments, they encouraged the propaganda with their own hubris. 

    Of course, in what's left of the dregs of the Conservative Movement, anyone who might seek a reasonable solution no longer has a voice. As we might expect from a constituency that believes that Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing are legitimate forms of war; support for all of Abbott's psychotic behavior is not only receiving near-unanimous praise in GOP echo-chambers, the Governor is getting encouragement (as if he needed any) to become even more ruthless. Just like his kindred spirits Netanyahu and Trudeau, Abbott realizes that there will be no consequences for his actions so human beings who get his way are fair game. 

    Abbott has even gone so far as to usurp the prerogative of the United States Congress---which happens to be at least nominally controlled by his own Party---by declaring a de facto State of War with Mexico. The Biden/Harris Junta, which recently did exactly the same thing against the Republic of Yemen, doesn't seem inclined to bring up this little detail as any objection either. 

    The immigration system needs serious reform, but it is not a national crisis. The hysteria over the issue on both sides is being fanned deliberately as part of the Strategy of Tension wherein the Plutocrats stoke as much violent rhetoric as possible---ideally culminating in lawlessness and death. The goal of this policy is to create a popular consensus for an authoritarian leader who will act decisively and solve the very problem which they themselves created. Thus it is in their interest to terrify one side with the non-existent threat of White Supremacist extremism and demand tougher laws against so-called 'hate speech,' while whipping on the other about an equally non-existent Invasion. This is nothing new. Whenever our forefathers started asking too many of the right questions about the degenerate monarchs and predatory feudal lords, they had the same scams played on them. The Royals incited witch-hysterias and religious pogroms until the peasants came begging them for 'protection.' 


      If we had a Government that still actually functioned, the first ones deported would be foreign provocateurs like George Soros who are funding these headline-grabbing 'caravans' and 'border surges.' The second thing they would do is suppress rogue State governors like Abbott and DeSantis and force them to obey the Constitution. Then, we could bring our Military away from defending Corporate interests abroad and put them to work fortifying and defending our own borders and coastlines. Then we could lift sanctions and crack down on Wall Street cartels abroad who are creating refugees by their policies. Then we can pass Immigration reform legislation based upon our needs as a society. 

    But doing those things wouldn't serve the purposes of the vested interests profiting off of the Status Quo.  It's better for them to create conflict and popular fighting over things like Border Control---which they have no intention of solving other than to stuff more cash into their Corporate Cronies' pockets and further erode Civil Liberties to their own advantage.

WHY NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS?

     Although various forms of Political Correctness, Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion Programs, and other racialist schemes have been running abated throughout American institutions for the last 3-4 decades, leading Conservatives discovered their existence only recently, coincident with the 2024 Election Cycle. Naturally, their solutions are all top-down ones: parents, alumni, and other stakeholders can't be expected to take a stand. 

      Since these policies have received so much attention lately, it is passing strange that a memo from the Anti-Defamation League to the Hollywood Elites went unnoticed.


     The ADL is funded by many shady NGOs including the nominally Conservative Koch Foundation alongside Deep-State cutouts the Hewlett Foundation and the Omidyar Network. Pay-Pal, a WEF Top 100 Strategic Partner, is an interest of Pierre Omidyar and has a rather interesting relationship with the ADL

   ADL has a significant lobbying presence inside the Beltway too: about half of their operatives are Revolving-Door former Federal bureaucrats. These lobbyists include Kristen Bautz---senior advisor to former DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Ralph Hellmann---top advisor to former powerful GOP Congressmen Dennis Hastert and Tom DeLay. 

    These things aside, the question remains: why the silence from the Conservative-Industrial Complex over Hollywood's very blatant DEI program? Christian Conservatives especially should be asking why---given Hollywood's notorious animosity towards Christians---one religious group should be given preferential treatment. I have a suspicion too that if an Islamic Organization published something like this about giving more diversity and inclusion to Moslems, this wouldn't be passed over as a non-story.

   We've seen things like this before. Affirmative Action is only wrong when the wrong people engage in it. 


    There won't be any open praise of Hollywood like there was upon Palantir. That would upset the Official Counter-Narrative that the Liberal Media is anti-Semitic and pro-Palestinian. Recently, the 'Conservative' Media has even gone so far as to blame their top bogeyman, China, of fanning this anti-Zionist anti-Semitic sentiment threatening Israeli and US Deep State interests. This is a notion that they blatantly expropriated from Liberal Media outlets like The New York Times, Jeff Bezos' Washington Post, the US Deep State's Media Organ, Voice of America: all of which are getting their stories screened by the Israeli Propaganda Ministry. It's doubtful that there will be much discussion of that though either. 

    

   

SELF-DECEPTION IS NOT SELF-GOVERNMENT

   These days in the 'Conservative' Movement---which is becoming increasingly indistinguishable from the Democratic Party---anyone who questions the Official Counter-Narrative is labelled immediately as a defeatist. But as someone recently said: "When your optimism is based in illusion, it's not optimism, it's fantasy." The Fantasy World that the Postmodern Right currently finds itself in is going to go down in history as another inexplicable phenomenon. 

   Since we're talking about illusions, let's adduce the 2024 Elections for a start. Aside from there being no meaningful Electoral Reform, Republican Party operatives have led the charge to keep President-in-Exile Trump off the ballots. They've given him no support whatsoever in his legal challenges. Of the three potential GOP replacements, one is a scion of the Bush Machine and the other two are WEF Young Global Leaders. How, exactly, is replacing Biden with people like that going to be an improvement? 

   Then we can talk about our so-called foreign enemies. Let's do another sleight-of-hand, wave a magic wand and pretend that they all go away. Rainbow flags are flying over Tehran and Damascus. China's economic machine is in the hands of BlackRock, the Gates Foundation, Amazon and others of Klaus Schwab's Strategic Partners. In Russia, the churches are laughed at in the Media, late-term abortion, drug abuse, and Political Correctness are the New Normals. How, exactly, is this going to make the world a better place?

   


    Examples of this kind of Cognitive Dissonance are manifold. Everywhere one looks in the 'Conservative Movement' these days, one sees nothing but a series of contradictions. Abortion is murder---but only after a certain number of weeks. Political violence should be punished---but only when the Left engages in it. Affirmative Action is wrong---unless it involves the Jews. Corporate control of the Media is terrible---but only for the Liberal Media. Federal funding as a weapon against States' Rights is bad---but Blue States should be cut off. 

    The postmodern Conservative wants to restrict immigration but doesn't want to pay livable wages to Americans to do the work. They want parental control over education, but they want public schools to administer that control. They oppose government bureaucracy, but think that Corporate bureaucracy is just fine. 

    Even worse, they are constantly projecting: accusing their opponents of doing everything that they do. This is especially bad in foreign policy, but happens domestically and on social issues as well. Astute readers may see in all of these examples the root cause of the Postmodern Right's faulty thinking. It all centers upon the very un-Conservative orientation which seeks to grant powerful Authority figures what should be matters of personal or local responsibility. In short, what they really want is the Liberal-Statist superstructure to remain in place: all they want are different managers and a different re-distribution of power and wealth.

    This also the reason for the divisiveness in our society. It used to be that the Left believed in addressing issues with Force; today the Right accepts the same idea so we have two (nominally) opposing Forces and each side naturally contracts further and further into rigid ideology. Practically any Republican leader from the mid-20th Century---including Ronald Reagan---would be considered RINOs today. There's nobody in the Republican Party today who calls for Free Trade and a non-interventionist Foreign Policy, integrating immigrants, or proactive investment in infrastructure. There are many who pay lip service to faith, family, and freedom but nobody actually doing anything to promote any of this.

    Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican President, once said that "In America, a man is either a citizen-king or he is nothing." That means self-government and with it, personal responsibility. That means that a community of such individuals must safeguard those Rights. What we see in today's Conservative Movement is a vision where a few citizen-kings lord it over a majority of nothings. That makes the Right no better than the Left in any essential aspect.
