Attorney-General Jeff Sessions delivered an address today at Summit, hosted by the US Department of Justice, on religious liberty. Archbishop Kurtz of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops was in attendance, along with many DOJ officials and religious leaders. Sessions' speech highlighted the major shift in our government's attitude toward religious freedom.
Imagine any of the DNC deep-statists or Swamp-RINOs saying this:
"Let us be frank.A dangerous movement, undetected by many, is now challenging and eroding our great tradition of religious freedom. There can be no doubt. This is no little matter. It must be confronted and defeated.This election, and much that has flowed from it, gives us a rare opportunity to arrest these trends. Such a reversal will not just be done with electoral victories, but by intellectual victories.
"We have gotten to the point where courts have held that morality cannot be a basis for law; where ministers are fearful to affirm, as they understand it, holy writ from the pulpit; and where one group can actively target religious groups by labeling them a “hate group” on the basis of their sincerely held religious beliefs. This President and this Department of Justice are determined to protect and even advance this magnificent heritage."
The major policy shift implied here is, as Sessions notes, an intellectual one. The Cultural Marxists have been pushing the 'personal is political' attitude upon us for decades. There's nothing more personal than one's faith. Sessions is stating flatly here that the day of government imposing its will on faith is over.
Now some will say, 'well, we've heard this rhetoric before, and what ever changes?' This is another main difference between this Administration and previous ones. The Trump Administration backs up its words with actual deeds. Sessions announced the creation of a new DOJ Task Force:
"Today I am announcing our next step: the Religious Liberty Task Force, to be co-chaired by the Associate Attorney General and the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy. The Task Force will help the Department fully implement our religious liberty guidance by ensuring that all Justice Department components are upholding that guidance in the cases they bring and defend, the arguments they make in court, the policies and regulations they adopt, and how we conduct our operations. That includes making sure that our employees know their duties to accommodate people of faith. As the people in this room know, you have to practice what you preach. We are also going to remain in contact with religious groups across America to ensure that their rights are being protected. We have been holding listening sessions and we will continue to host them in the coming weeks."This administration is animated by that same American view that has led us for 242 years: that every American has a right to believe, worship, and exercise their faith in the public square."
This is fantastic news. In the full speech, Sessions highlighted some of the victories that the Justice Department has won for Religious Freedom. The creation of this Task Force will give existing laws some real teeth. The legal victories we've won since 2017 are just the beginning. The pernicious activities of the anti-Christian Left have already been curtailed quite sharply by Sessions' executive orders, new guidelines, etc. But the creation of this Task Force will enable the FBI and other federal authorities to investigate cases of religious discrimination more proactively. The Steamroller that's been flattening drug pushers, swamp creatures, and gang members is about to plow under militant anti-Christian activists.
As can be imagined, the Whacko Left went berserk all over the Internet at this announcement. The fake-news outlet The Daily Beast called the move "a holy war against LGBTQ people!" That headline is fairly typical of the hysteria being churned out by the Gay Mafia and the Corporate Media who no longer have Christians to bilk for cash with frivolous lawsuits.
The full text of the Attorney-General's speech can be read here, and it's definitely worth reading, because Sessions recounts several cases not reported by the Corporate Media. He also outlines the Administration's fundamental policies on Religious Freedom.
Along with Left-Wing whackos having TDS attacks over a sidewalk decoration, there's been a serious controversy raging over an article by Lori Alexander of The Transformed Wife blog. The title is Men Prefer Debt-Free Virgins Without Tattoos; by Mrs. Lori's admission, this article has 'gone viral'. Red Pill cultists Dalrock, Chateau Heartiste, and Reality Doug have all chimed in with their less-than-two-cents-worth.
I personally will agree with the authoress about tattoos. Personally I can't stand them. They might look alright on 250-lb. bikers, lumberjacks, and sailors; but on a female body they're about as attractive as some of those 60's avant-garde artists who drew moustaches on the Mona Lisa. Note that this is only a personal preference. I know a lot of guys who like tattooed women.
But virginity and debt? Let's just point out here that most women probably find sexual exclusiveness and freedom from debt attractive in men as well. But that aside, what really caused all of the uproar was the suggestion in the article that young women should avoid debt by foregoing college---the expenses of which are responsible for much public debt.
That's so; but the scandalous debt from education has more to do with rampant corruption in American Academia than anything else. And the highest debts incurred are for vital services like medicine, science, and engineering. What normal man would consider a relationship with a woman in, or studying in, these professions to be a bad thing?
The Red Pills do; mostly because they don't relish the idea of educating women in the first place. Dalrock and Reality Doug especially took some comments about the article and wedged them into their AWALT heresies. Dalrock took issue with Wendy Griffith who said:
"Ladies, the Lord wants you to know that you are a pearl of great price, a treasure worth pursuing and protecting. You are worth fighting for and, like the pearl in the parable at the head of this chapter, worth everything it might cost a guy to obtain you. You are worth someone sacrificing his time, his routine, his comfort, his money, his whatever in order to have you. You are worth it! You are a prize to be won. Don’t settle for Crumbs."
To Dalrock and other Red Pills, Love never factors into gender relations, so they completely miss the point that installing confidence in women might help them choose better men. Reality Doug lays it out plainly:
"You (pretty much every Western man, call me pompous) don’t understand women because you greatly overestimate their human value from a cultural perspective, which considers the time dimension and presumes probable survival and replication. Animals have a ‘present’ perspective. The women is mentally an animal (instincts first) that knows what you care about but does not understand what you care about. She is built for manipulation not conscious thinking...Woman’s psychologically manifest and immediate goal, in service of her ultimate evolutionary purpose of advancing her genes with the practical baseness of a wild animal, is relative herd status."
This is just stupid; and reflects the emotional immaturity of the Red Pills, who are also moral and intellectual pygmies. Mature men don't consider women as 'animals' but as human beings. And, as fallible human beings, are liable to do things like accumulate debts and lose their virginity. Thus it follows logically that while a man may prefer certain qualities; a mature man doesn't expect perfection. Nor is a man who finds Love some sort of a chump because he values the object of his desire.
The whole strength of monogamy is based upon couples valuing one another. This is because monogamy is combination of strengths. There is the power inherent in love. To turn it into a 'game' of competition and power defeats its entire purpose.
This week's Stock Market correction in social media stocks has the Manosphere's Red Pills giddy with excitement. They've been banned on many of those sites---mostly for doxxing, trolling, harassment, etc. They have their collective hopes up that Facebook, Twitter, and others are headed for financial oblivion. These corporations are nowhere near economic collapse---their stock values were hyperinflated---but the Red Pills can always dream, can't they?
Vox Day has been flapping his arms lately, hoping that Tor Books will collapse soon too. Tor won't publish Vox' less-than-mediocre science fiction, but does publish works by John Scalzi. Scalzi is actually a good writer whom Vox bitterly envies. Now Vox is especially exorcised because another Tor author dared criticize Arkhaven Comics---the Vox Day-run front that's supposed to overthrow the 'hegemony' of publishers Marvel and DC. It seems that Jon Del Arroz, an Arkhaven operative and Vox toady, referred to himself as a 'bestselling author' and a Tor writer disputed that appellation. Whatever Del Arroz said in response got him suspended (again) from Twitter.
But this brings up an interesting point; one that all of Vox' disciples would do well to consider. What has Arkhaven really got to show for all that crowd-sourced income?
Well, it seems that, as of June, Arkhaven is sharing less than 4% of comic market share with an unknown number of 'less than top 20' publishers. These all currently have less than 0.3% of market share apiece. That's hardly much of a challenge to Marvel (38%) or DC (32%). Vox doesn't even rate a per cent; he's in per mils.
Vox boasts that Arkhaven is a top-seller on Amazon. But that's Amazon retail where there is little or no competition. As it happens, Amazon has a dedicated site for comics called Comixology. What happens when you search for Arkhaven there?
By the way, the same thing happens when searching online with other major retailers and distributors like Comix Zone:
Or Dreamland Comics:
Then searching for Alt-Hero; Arkhaven's flagship series, we find that Midtown Comics, one of the largest retailers in the US, knows nothing about it:
And even on the Comic Books Subreddit, one of the nation's largest discussion forums on the subject, Arkhaven hasn't even been noticed:
I wonder if all of those donors to Arkhaven's crowd-sourcing can demand a refund? Because it doesn't appear that Arkhaven is actually doing much to promote sales. If they're going to be competitive with other publishers, they need to start competing.
But the Arkhaven fiasco is nothing new with Vox and his cult of fanatics. A little over a year ago, Infogalactic was going to dethrone Wikipedia as the online reference source of record. It hasn't even come close.
Unfortunately, fanatics are rarely discouraged by reality. But the next time you see a Vox-related project on a crowd-sourcing site, caveat emptor.
There were a pair of really good articles up today, on similar themes. One was from the blog, Freedom Through Empowerment which challenged the Feminist myth of toxic masculinity. Feminist writers---who are quite creative in dreaming up neologisms for nonexistent concepts---believe that our culture is essentially poisoned by masculine domination. The idea, of course, is absurd: both in that masculinity is essentially negative and that men actually dominate society.
The other article was posted at See There's Thing Called Biology, which questioned some of the hateful rhetoric of the Red Pills. I'm not sure of her take on the 'Metoo' Movement; but the authoress does raise some points about the unwillingness of Christian leaders to take sexual abuse seriously. The churches' neglect on these issues, is really due largely to Red Pill infiltration. However, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a joint statement some time ago on Domestic Violence. But the Red Pills would likely deny most of these points and dismiss them as 'Feminist.'
Which brings us to a term that some angry Feminist wrote to me in response lately: Gender Essentialism. Here's how Wikipedia defines this term:
"Gender Essentialism is the theory that there are certain universal, innate, biologically or psychologically-based features of gender that are at the root of observed differences between men and women...Essentialism thus refers to the existence of fixed characteristic, given attributes, and historical functions which limit the possibilities of change and of social reorganization."
The Feminists think that Essentialism is a very bad thing. However, such would contradict their notions of 'toxic masculinity'. How could masculinity be socially toxic without essential elements of masculinity? On the other hand, if there is nothing essentially feminine, how would society benefit from empowering women in the first place?
The Red Pills, being reactionaries, hold the opposite position. They believe that women have an essential nature---which is wholly negative. Men however are categorized into different archetypes: Betas, Gammas, Omegas, Zetas---but by converting (taking the Red Pill) they can become Alpha supermen to whom all things are possible.
In reality, these fixed characteristics inherent in gender are the very things which make change and social reorganization possible. It's the family unit---rightly called the bedrock of civilization---which has driven mankind to grow into communities and, ultimately, into nations. The social stability provided by monogamy and a recognition of gender polarity is why the Western World grew and prospered far ahead of other cultures.
Thus it stands to reason that breaking that foundation will lead to social decline. Societies which are strictly patriarchal (i.e. the despotic countries of the Arabian Peninsula) or matriarchal (i.e. some of tribes of Western and Central Africa) haven't progressed much beyond the state of barbarism. That's where the gender supremacists would see the world return. If anyone doubts this, witness Feminists rhapsodizing about the days when a Wise Woman ran a community or the Red Pills longing for a God-Emperor surrounded by his Alpha lords and princes.
It stands to reason too that harmonious gender relations obviously make for a happier and better society. And that's another thing the gender supremacists don't want. It's easier to control a divided society. That's also the reason why both Feminists and Red Pills are so notoriously racist.
Essentialism? Yes it exists, but it is a fact and not a social construct. Embrace it; don't scorn it.
The vicious Scientology Cult lost a major long-running legal battle yesterday. The cult's lawyers threw up the sponge after it became clear that they were headed for a trial which they were bound to lose, and settled with the plaintiff for an unspecified sum.
The plaintiff was one Laura DeCrescenzo, who alleged that she was forced by the cult to have an abortion at the age of 17. Her attorney, John Blumberg, predicted last week that the Scientologist hierarchy would opt to avoid trial, which was scheduled for August 13th.
The Corporate Media had nothing to say about the settlement, or even worse they were silent about the hideous details which were to be presented as evidence. Laura's testimony about the treatment of young women inside the cult reads like The Diary of Anne Frank, only worse. Women are employed in conditions as inhuman as sweatshops; forced into marriages; forced to have abortions; imprisoned for offenses; beaten, raped, whipped and isolated from their families. This isn't 'Pizzagate' or 'Q Anon' this goes on in the US under the pretense of 'religious freedom' every day.
Now, every time somebody whispers in the Media's collective ear about 'abuse' in the Catholic Church, it makes headlines. If the Church settles out of court to avoid scandal; the press treats them as guilty regardless of the circumstances. But Scientology gets a free pass.
Why is this? Probably because Scientologists are well represented in the Corporate Media. You can bet that behind the well-known actors, performers, and journalists among their number, there are likely hundreds of lesser known producers, writers, directors, and media executives. The legal firms defending Scientology in the DeCresenzo Case includes Kendall, Brill, and Kelly LLP of Los Angeles---who are specialists in media-related laws. Another is Rabinowicz, Boudin, Standard, Krinsky, and Liebermann, PC of Broadway, NYC. They too advertise that "Art and Media Law" is among their specialties. Jeffers, Mangels, Butler, and Mitchell LLP, whose office is on the very Avenue of the Stars in Los Angeles, are also retained by the Entertainment Industry, according to their website.
Even if this case had gone to trial, it would likely have been blacked out by the media anyway.
Personally, I would like to have seen it go to trial for the wider reason that it would have forced a Federal Court to rule on the legality of forcing an abortion on someone who was a legal minor. The fact that the Scientologists' high-priced legal talent couldn't find a single justification after nearly a decade of litigation seems to imply that there are no such legal grounds. That one we'll have to leave to the pro-life activists.
Meanwhile, Scientology's commander-in-chief David Miscavage got hurt where it hurts his breed the worst: in the wallet. Congratulations to everybody who got some justice done; let's hope it won't be the last.
Roosh Valizadeh, the Red Pill shaman who runs the Alt-RINO Return of Kings blog, has penned an article on Roosh V announcing that he rejects the Conservative label because---according to him---Conservatives are losers. And he, being a manly Alpha leader, doesn't want anybody thinking that he is a loser, too. Well, a lot of us think that he is anyway, but that's beside the point.
So let's hear why we're losers. According to Roosh, "For the world to get where it is today, with the complete elimination of tradition in favor of a globohomo world where diddling little children is becoming normalized, Conservatives would have had to have lost every meaningful culture war in the history of man."
I suppose that could be argued if tradition really were completely eliminated as Roosh claims. There are movements afoot to do this is, but they have been losing ground. The Trump Administration broke a huge stranglehold these Leftist agenda-driven groups had simply by defunding them. Britain has split from the EU; traditionalists are winning elections in the West. And, in Asia, Africa, and South America there's no legal acceptance of the homo movement. Homosexuality is a criminal offense in 73 countries while only 23 recognize homo 'marriage'. Two out of three countries in the world don't permit abortion on demand.
Roosh contends further that we've lost "on every battlefront" and gives us a long list of institutions that the American Left controls. He claims that "there's no sign of them ever coming back."
Oh really? Every one of these institutions that he mentions is again losing popular support. The Media, the NFL, the Boy Scouts, the Public Schools: all these institutions are going down. Why? Because Conservatives believe in things like Competition and Free Enterprise, not, as Roosh says, merely "holding the line while their enemies rush at them full speed."
The Internet is breaking up the Liberal Media. Layoffs are occurring throughout the industry because ratings are so low. Just yesterday, the New York Daily News laid off half its staff. President Trump bypasses them altogether by using Twitter. The NFL is getting a challenge from a group of investors who want to start a new PC-free football league. The XFL is only a year or two away, while the NFL has been declining for five straight years.
There are also alternatives to the Boy Scouts being launched; as well as Charter Schools. Homeschooling is growing and there are waiting lists to get into private and parochial schools.
No, Roosh. Conservatives are not losing. Look where we are in 2018 compared just to 2016. There aren't any more Ferguson-style race riots or cops being ambushed and gunned down. There aren't hundreds dying every day from drug overdoses. Farms aren't being forced to shut down anymore over things like water rights or inheritance taxes. In fact, for the first time in decades, farming is a growth industry.
And what happened to all the Energy Sector layoffs---jobs they said weren't coming back? Well, they are coming back; and the US is on track to become energy-independent within the next decade, Corporations are coming back across the US border instead of Wahhabi terrorists and MS-13 thugs: the exact opposite of the Obama years. Businesses aren't being destroyed or people losing jobs anymore just for offending some pervert.
Yes, there's still a lot of work to be done: but that requires actual effort---which is something to which the Red Pills seem to have a strong aversion.
What Roosh and others like him fail to understand is that Conservatism in its modern sense is relatively new; appearing in the Europe about the late 18th Century and North America about the mid 19th. We've fought off external threats like Imperialists, Fascists, Nazis, Communists, and Wahhabi Terrorists as well as internal ones like the Confederate Rebellion, Cultural and Political Marxists, Supremacist movements, etc. Democracy isn't easy to defend. Roosh is wrong again when he claims that we won't make sacrifices to defend tradition. In fact, political extremists murdered four US presidents and nearly killed a few others.
The other thing that Roosh also ignores is just how much his own movement has contributed to cultural decline. Inciting gender and race conflict, for example. Or his whole Game/PUA philosophy which treats women as expendable and deplores traditional things like marriage and family.
"The biggest reason" he pontificates, "why Conservatives will continue to lose is that they're not ready to kill the Left even though the Left is ready to kill them." I'm not sure that a lot of Communists weren't killed by Americans during the Korean and Vietnam Wars or during the Grenada Expedition, but I digress. The context in which Roosh states this clearly indicates that he's referring to domestic political violence: "Liberals have been getting Conservatives fired on a daily basis while suing businesses out of existence while the Conservative loser merely whines about it on Twitter."
If Roosh would pay attention, he'd see that Conservatives have met these injustices with much more than complaining. Fired Conservatives have been offered new jobs by other Conservatives. Conservative lawyers have worked pro bono to defend businesses caught in these lawsuits and even had a recent Supreme Court victory. Donations have rolled in to help a lot of these people.
Our Constitution specifically guarantees the "Right of the people to assemble peacefully and petition the government for redress of grievances." It says nothing about settling differences with armed insurrection or forming groups like the Viet Cong or Al-Qaeda to impose our political will. This is also why we have a 2nd Amendment: to defend ourselves against extremists who seize the government by force.
And that's what Roosh and the other Red Pills and Alt-RINOs really object to. They're really not opposed to the Left's tactics---they oppose the Left having a monopoly on using them. That's why we've said all along that these guys aren't of the Right at all; but are in fact the Reactionary Left. Their growing contempt of Conservatives only proves this even more.
Once upon a time, Hollywood actually produced enjoyable entertainment. Today, it's become such a cultural abyss that few film and television pioneers would even recognize. True, some awful things went on behind the scenes back then too. But even so, the media executives cultivated a decent image. Scandals weren't tolerated.
But that was then, this is now. The media moguls today advance the notion that it's somehow 'sophisticated' and 'enlightened' to open the sewers and present whatever flows out of it as representative of the 'real' America. The ethos of the slums and red-light districts is really all that Hollywood does stand for today.
To shore up ratings and sell advertising the media has to appeal to the lowest and most effete of the population. But that quickly becomes tiresome to the degenerate; and they need ever increasing dosages of titillation and sensation. Today, an idiot like Robert DiNero can spout four-letter words against the present with no context. Or another loser like Sarah Silverman can get a morally-retarded audience to roar with laughter joking about the Crucifixion. Disney films make children's films with overt Feminist and homosexual propaganda, etc.
Today the Hollywood reprobates announced with great hoopla that the television series, Supergirl will feature a transgendered super-hero, or heroine, or whatever. The part will be played by a former male who now lives under the alias of Nicole Maines. Maines' claim to fame was suing a school in 2016 over access to the Ladies' Room.
So basically, what you have here is a rip-off of a comic book with drag-queens as heroes being touted as a hit series. And the people who produce this stuff seriously imagine themselves a Cultural Elite.
The further that these would-be Elites drift from reality to the gutter, the less relevant they will become. In fact, they are already largely irrelevant to everybody but to themselves and to the most vitiated segment of the population.
Fifty years ago, Hollywood, the NFL, and the Democratic Party were national institutions. Where are they now? Plummeting into oblivion because they renounced their core ideals and pandered to the lowest-common social denominator. Nobody's willing to follow them there---as they're all learning the hard way.
Earlier this week, a vessel docked in the Port of San Diego carrying a cargo of nearly nine tons of Cocaine, representing a street-value of at least a quarter-billion dollars. The good news: the ship was the Coast Guard cutter USS Steadfast returning from a two-month patrol. The narcotics were captured, along with some smugglers, during the maneuvers.
Some unnamed sources stated that the Steadfast, which had been on duty with the cutter Alert, was allowed to return earlier than the scheduled mission-end because it no more cargo capacity. One intercept alone captured 12,000 pounds of drugs---the largest from a single raid in 13 years. The Alert was said currently to be carrying almost three tons of confiscated drugs in its own right.
Both ships are based in the Columbia River District at Warrenton, Oregon.
The year 2018 has been witnessing a surge in US Coast Guard victories over gangs' and terrorists' attempts to smuggle narcotics into the country. In 2017, the USCG intercepted almost a half-million pounds of Cocaine total. These seizures represent the changed attitude of the federal bureaucracy under Trump. In January, Coast Guard crews brought a haul of 47,000 pounds to San Diego. In March, a huge seizure led to a 36,000 pound booty. And these are just the larger hauls.
Commander Alain Balmaceda of the Steadfast told the San Diego Union-Tribune that his crew is the most motivated he's seen in a long time. "I continue to be impressed by the dedication and tenacity of our cutters, and the difficult, dangerous missions that they complete." Yes, it does make a difference when the Government actually supports what law enforcement does.
It's interesting that, despite these successes, the US Media outside of the San Diego area hasn't a word to say about it. During the Obama Administration, they were equally silent about the Fat Leonard Scandal which implicated Pentagon officials in possible drug smuggling. The Trump Administration wrapped up that scandal too; and indicted several culpable parties.
In fact, the Media has been silent not only about Trump winning the Drug War and the Gang War; they are infuriated beyond belief that Trump has also ended the Obama-instigated Cold Wars with Russia, China, and North Korea. The Media and the other DNC slime would like us to return to the Obama/Clinton Era when we were at risk of atomic annihilation while drug-pushers and international terrorists could enter the country unabated. While Trump is dealing with real problems, the nutcases on the Left think that they can abolish Biology.
Cocaine is a very potent stimulant that is extremely addictive. Withdrawal from the drug causes erratic behavior---mostly a depressive state that needs another dose to reverse it. People on Cocaine build a tolerance and need ever-increasing doses to relieve their cravings. Often Cocaine is processed into stronger forms like Crack, Crank, Rock Candy, etc. Long-term effects can include respiratory failure and mental disease. In spite of the depressive effects of withdrawal, addicts will turn often turn violent to get another dose. The term 'drug fiend' was coined during the 1920's specifically for Cocaine users.
In recent years, police have discovered several cases of Cocaine laced with the deadly Opioid, Fentanyl. During the period 2014-2016, Cocaine overdose deaths doubled in the US.
But with the revamped efforts of the Coast Guard, that pipeline may be closed off soon.
So there's been a recent spate of drivers for the taxi service, Uber, reportedly going berserk on the roadway. Last week, a group of interns going to a pro-Trump were refused service by a hysterical driver. During the weekend, some young women were traveling to a GOP rally in Raleigh when the driver---allegedly screaming 'Welcome to the Resistance!'---dumped them off at a random gas station.
Uber has so far refused any apology over either incident. This shouldn't surprise anyone: in 2016, the company donated almost $200,000 to the Democratic Party and has spent $1.8 million on lobbyists. According to Open Secrets, 32 out of the 41 Beltway lobbyists retained by Uber are revolving-door former government employees, including the ex-wife of arch-Deep Stater, Tony Podesta.
In London, England last November the local authorities revoked Uber's license after crime statistics showed that Uber's drivers committed half of the sexual assaults in Great Britain. Even the Liberal demagogues at CNN were obliged to report that over 100 American drivers have been charged with similar crimes. Ex-TV star-turned-activist Pamela Anderson has publicly stated that Uber is unsafe for women. Overall, Uber has a reputation as a very shady outfit---personally I don't mind paying extra for a regular taxi.
What these incidents and others like them should do is remind us what we could expect if the Whacko Left ever came to power again. These people are doing on a personal level what they'd be doing on a national scale. In fact, only a short time ago, scumbags like New York Governor Cuomo boasted that Conservatives "had no place" in his state. The military was being purged---like the media and academia before. States were trying to blacklist religious charities who refused things like abortion and 'gay marriage'. Caterers, pharmacies and others were being shut down for the same reasons. Obama and Clinton were vowing to suppress free speech and free religion after 2016---and already CEO's were being fired and local politicians locked up for refusing to bow down to the Thought Police.
To the Left, Liberalism is dogma. The political positions they hold are, to them, simply what is. Their whole ego-identity and self-esteem is so closely tied to their politics that they, by and large, have turned into fanatics. The Uber drivers, the nutcases attacking people in restaurants, the violence and riots: these aren't the work of rational minds willing to compromise or debate. They are, as the infamous photo of Kathy Griffin with the severed head graphically illustrate, ready to resort to the Guillotine if they think it necessary.
Meanwhile, our best course of action is to boycott companies like Uber. And also, we should keep a sharp eye out for Leftist Whackos cracking up in public. See Something, Say Something. When some crackpot makes a scene in a restaurant, call the police. By all means, notify the authorities if you see Leftists doing something violent or destructive.
There was an interesting article today in the British media pointing out that some 21 op-ed letters were published in major newspapers opposing Brett Kavanaugh's appointment to the US Supreme Court. All of these letters bore different signatures, but every one of them were identical in content.
It's almost gotten to the point where when one thinks that the US Media can't sink any lower, the media somehow manages to do it.
So far, only the Dallas Morning-News and the Sonora (California) Union-Democrat have scrubbed the letters and apologized to readers. It should be noted that both of these papers are owned by regional media concerns and are largely independent of the MSM.
The White House shrugged off the incident, accustomed to they are to sophomoric attacks from allegedly respectable news sources. Quinton Hilyer of The National Review suggested that the opposition to Kavanaugh is probably largely the work of paid trolls, although most Left-Wing activist groups have denied any involvement in the scam. We simply need recall the 2016 elections and remember that the DNC is not above these kinds of sleazy tactics. That's one reason why they lost in 2016 and also why their attempts to derail Kavanaugh's nomination will fail. Trump offers the people a genuine person, with whom they can relate. He's hated by the Liberals and the Swamp-RINOs who governed for 30 years with nothing but fear and manipulation and no substance. People are seeing them for what they are; and that exposure is driving them insane.
In the interests of full disclosure, I haven't reviewed the career of Brett Kavanaugh sufficiently to have an informed opinion of support or opposition. But the initial Left-Wing hysteria is circumstantial evidence that the President has made a good choice. Trump has begun a major initiative to change Beltway Culture; and he's well on his way to overhauling the entire Executive Branch. His next Supreme Court pick is a solid move to reforming the Judicial Branch. If Kavanaugh is confirmed as Neil Gorsuch was; one more Court vacancy will give Trump appointees 1/3 of the highest court in the land. No wonder the Deep Statists' minds are paralyzed with fear---causing them to do stupid things like sending fake op-eds which were bound to get found out.
This is also why there is reason for optimism in the 2018 and 2020 Elections. The Left not only has no leadership; they have no ideas either. Whatever their rhetoric, their only argument is that we were better off as a nation under the Clinton/Obama Eras. It's obvious that we weren't; so the Left resorts to scandal, fearmongering, and cheating in vain hope of deceiving enough people to the contrary.
Recently on another forum, a young woman wrote asking for relationship advice. After writing a response explaining how gender polarity and complimentary relations worked, out of the blue came a torrent of criticism from a hysterical homosexual. Well, my opinions on that lifestyle are no secret; and after expressing them, the predictable happened. The moderator was deluged with screams of 'homophobia' (which I also claim is a myth) and of course I was banned.
The ban itself was really not too big a deal, but the incident got me to thinking. Why would concepts like gender polarity and complimentarianism so upset the Gay Mafia? Then I realized that there are three groups who really oppose harmonious relationships:
1. The Feminists, because these beliefs contradict misandry.
2. The Red Pills, because these beliefs contradict misogyny.
3. The Gay Mafia, both because they contradict androgyny and the whole mythology of homosexual equality.
It's often been a mystery as to why both the Red Pills and Feminists have so many homosexuals among them. Some Red Pills like Jack Donovan and a Voice for Men are overtly so; and there's quite a number of latent ones at sites like Dalrock and Return of Kings. And, at male feminist sites like We Hunted the Mammoth and The Blue Pill Subreddit, homos are also quite well represented. Now, I think that the reason is clear.
What the homo commenter and his jackass moderator revealed is that the Gay Mafia has a vested interest in keeping the so-called 'Gender Wars' going. In fact, if one thinks back to the 1990's, it was really Hilary Clinton---an obvious Lesbian---who used her co-presidency with her effete husband who really mainstreamed the whole 'Gender War' narrative.
This leads us to wonder just how much influence militant homosexuals actually have in driving these toxic cultural trends. Feminists and Red Pills are driven by envy and hatred, of course; but few realize how the envy and hatred that homosexuals feel against all those of normal sexual desires can piggyback on these sex-negative movements. Their ultimate goal, however, is different in that they don't promote gender supremacy, but gender nihilism. For that is what so-called 'gender neutrality' really is: it means annihilation of gender as a societal concept.
It also demonstrates that Traditional Marriage and so-called 'Gay Marriage' cannot coexist in a society without destroying the meaning of marriage altogether. No wonder Red, Blue, and Rainbow Pills form mutual alliances; they all desire to see traditional marriage destroyed.
It's time for another Just Say No to Drugs campaign: this time including the verbal narcotics flowing out of pop culture.
The Sessions Steamroller sent up an S.O.S. today---in this case, though, referring to a new initiative, The Synthetic Opioid Surge. The success of an experimental program in Florida led to the US Department of Justice deploying the new tactics and procedures in ten areas hard-hit by the Opioid Epidemic. The only targeted area on the West Coast is in Eastern California, and that area definitely needs it. The other regions are in Appalachia, Ohio, Maine, and New Hampshire.
The pilot program was executed in Manatee County, Florida. The FBI and DEA organized a coordinated system with local authorities. Essentially, while the latter rounded up street-level drug-dealers, the Federal authorities investigated the supply-chains and logistics of the case. Sessions reported today that six months ago, Manatee County EMT's responded to an average of 11 overdoses per day. Today, they average less than 1 per day; reflecting a 77% drop in overdoses overall. Fatalities from Narcosis dropped by 75% during the same period.
As a side note, the few US media outlets covering that story six months ago universally predicted that it would fail. Just as predictably, the MSM is silent as to its success.
Sessions spoke today at a ceremony today announcing the appointment of long-time special investigator Uttam Dhillon to DEA chief. The two believe that the new program will result in the downfall of major distribution networks. In criminology, their theory is sound. The weakness in drug trafficking---as with all criminal organizations---is security. The larger the organization grows, the more difficult it is to maintain secrecy. All ten of the districts in which S.O.S. will operate are among the worst in the country---and it's not improbable that a very few distributors are sitting at the top of the pyramid. Dhillon mentioned capturing a single suspect in the Florida program who "had enough heroin to kill tens of thousands of people."
We hear numbers like this from federal officials, and watch Left-Wing whackos roll their eyes cynically. But this is no exaggeration. A little over half a pound of pure heroin is quite sufficient to take out 10,000 people. Fentanyl, an even more potent Opioid, can do the same damage on a little over half an ounce.
In the wrong hands, these things are tantamount to biochemical weapons. Of course, drug pushers need customers, so they don't deploy these agents like a terrorist would. But Opioids are incredibly addictive and in minute amounts like these, accidents are bound to happen. 64,000 fatally, in fact, during Obama's last year in office. Narcotic overdoses are now the leading cause of death for Americans under 50. The Trump Administration has made it a priority not only to fight the drug epidemic, but to win it. This includes not only enforcement but new approaches to treatment as well.
During the next few months it will be interesting to see what happens. But for the first time in a long time, something is actually getting done.
While perusing the so-called Manosphere today, we noticed a lot of arm-flapping over some article published on a Red Pill blog called Neon Revolt. This blog had an article supposedly explaining the online enigmas of our old friend, Q Anon.
Q Anon is person (or persons) unknown who began posting on 4Chan and Twitter around last Halloween. His posts read about like textbook cases of patients free-associating during a Psychotherapy session. And it's not improbable that's actually what Q Anon's posts really are. But to Neon Revolt and other Red Pills, these incoherent ramblings contain super-secret information. According to them, Q Anon is an 'insider' exposing a powerful cabal ruling the world---an organization so powerful that it can do anything except censoring information about itself from being revealed on social networking sites.
What has the Red Pills all excited is the supposed 'paradigm shift' that's supposed to happen when 'the storm' manifests. As Neon Revolt assures us, the Alpha Supermen who've taken the Red Pill are being groomed by Q Anon to be "the vanguard of the Great Awakening."
Alphas Rise Up to take Control
Vox Day, who praises Neon Revolt's article, is eagerly rubbing his hands and hoping for the downfall of the Church: "Rest assured that it is Christians who are going to have the most difficult time accepting the degree to which their understanding not only of the world, but of their own faith, is incorrect."
Maybe that's because Christians have been taught that "False Christs and false prophets shall arise showing miracles and signs so marvelous that, if it were possible, they would deceive the very Elect." (St. Mark xiii:22) and "Beware of deceivers, for many shall come saying, 'I am Christ and the time draws near.' Do not follow them." (St. Luke xxi:8)
Simple, isn't it? Francis is the public pope, and is named; but the real power behind the throne is 'P'. The Rothschilds, George Soros, and the Saudi Royal Family form a Triumverate and they too are named. So we have the name of the antipope, the three organizations who are ruled by the unnamed Jesuit Black Pope. We have all of this information except the first initial of the name of the man at the top.
These are the kinds of straws that these anti-Christian fanatics will grasp at. What they really desire is the downfall of organized religion so that their own movements can supplant them. It doesn't look likely to succeed, any more than past attempts have.
One of the minor Red Pill Cult blogs, Saving Eve, concocted another blacklist for their disciples titled The Seven Signs of a Religious Charlatan. These kinds of indexes are useful for the cultists. They are designed to keep their followers from listening to others who might question too closely things that the Cult teaches. By examining such rules, however, we can understand better the tactics cults employ. Let's look at these seven points:
1. Uses imprecise Biblical terms.
2. Does not quote the Scripture accurately.
3. Uses theological jargon to answer simple questions.
4. Uses systematic theology and catechisms to justify his positions.
5. Quotes Bible-teachers and theologians instead of Scriptures.
6. Ignores the context.
7. Talks about the value of 'theological training' over knowing the Scriptures.
Notice that there is an admixture here purposely designed to be misleading. For example, #7 would be an obvious red-flag; even though I don't think that any reputable religious teacher outside of some of the Rainbow-Church Cults ever do this. Numbers 1, 2, 6 are usually less signs of dishonesty than they are of lack of education. Of course, the Cultists do these things all the time themselves: but by accusing others of doing it, they divert attention away from their own falsehoods.
#3 is unclear; it could apply to many situations. There are often theological concepts which require theological 'jargon' to define them. Think of explaining a concept like 'Divine Providence' in non-theological terms for example.
Numbers 4 and 5 are where we see the Cultist exposed. These define the teachers of nearly any organized Christian denomination.
What these Cultists are doing here is engaging in a propaganda tactic called by some cognitive distortion; a type of what Logicians refer to as 'Association Fallacies.' The idea in such a list is to get consensus on a self-evident point, add some points that are subjective but plausible; and connect them with such associations to the targeted group. Thus a superficial reader will assume that if one or more points on this list define a religious charlatan; then all points listed must define them. Cultists and other propagandists depend on their readers and hearers jumping to such conclusions.
The author gives an example with his 4th point, which gives the game away. He says: "Religious charlatans utilize the Coherence Theory of truth (do the ideas logically fit together?) rather than the Correspondence Theory of truth (does the idea accurately describe what I can observe?) Systematic theologies and catechisms are the most effective way to make blatant errors acceptable."
What the Red Pill way of determining spiritual truth is saying: There is no such thing as faith; belief is predicated upon our subjective observations. Subjective Perception, therefore, is the criterion of truth and not the Holy Spirit. This why the Red Pill Cultists believe that pseudosciences like Evolutionary Psychology and Game are great revelations of Absolute Truth suppressed by International Jewry, Cuckservatives, Churchians, Social Justice Warriors, etc. This is also why their theology is typically Unitarian and is based upon Gnostic systems of personal insights and secret revelations.
The fact that Systematic Theology has existed throughout most of mankind's entire history and forms the basis of all major world religions means nothing to the Red Pills. They know better; because they've taken the Red Pill and escaped the falsehoods of things like the Christian Church. So were the Sethians, the Marcionites, Basilideans and numerous other cults who've sunk into well-deserved oblivion. The Red Pill is nothing new.
In Christianity, Systematic Theology relies upon confirming Christian truths to the extent that Human Reason can. Beyond the point of reason lie Incomprehensible Truths which must be understood only by Faith. In praising the Saving Eve article, Vox Day pontificated that "the teaching of Divine Omniscience completely and necessarily rules out the Divinity of Jesus Christ." And as evidence of this, he cherry-picks Scripture wherein Christ said: "But of that day and hour nobody knows, not even the angels in Heaven, but the Father alone." (St. Matt. xxiv:36). Which he thinks means that Christ was saying that He did not know. What Christ obviously meant though was that the 'day and hour' was known only in Heaven and not to be revealed on Earth; and the fact that the angels did not know was because they. in their Faith believed that God's Will would be fulfilled and that was sufficient. Christ is saying that our Faith in God's Providence should be like the angels; i.e. continue doing what is pleasing to God without regard to what may happen tomorrow.
Vox bragged that such an argument would tie theologians in knots, but the Sunday-School teachers at whom he sneers could explain it in a paragraph, as we just did. Most of these characters would do a lot better if they spent more time in Sunday Schools and reading Catechisms themselves.
The ultra-PC city of San Francisco is proving once again that Liberalism turns great cities and states into 3rd-world level garbage dumps. In one week alone, the City's 311 Complaint Line received over 16,000 public complaints about human excrement in the streets. That's almost 2,300 per day. I don't doubt that one bit. The city smells like a public restroom mixed with marijuana smoke.
It wasn't always this way. San Francisco used to be one of the best American cities. It went from this:
To this:
In one generation. According to Mohammed Nuru, San Francisco Public Works Director, the city already spends $30 million annually to clean the streets and city parks.
The biggest problem in San Francisco today---and cities of the Pacific Northwest in general---is that the city leadership is in complete denial about the problem. Oh, certainly they'll admit that there are bums, drugs, and filth all over: but they deny that it's worse than any other city and/or that the problems are caused in any way whatsoever by their own policies. Just last month, San Francisco's City Council passed a ban on tobaccos containing flavorants. Swisher Sweets and Borkum Riff are great health-hazards, they reckoned---even though they probably stepped over a few dozen hopheads and piles of human dung to get to the Council Meeting.
At a certain point, though, reality is going to have to set in. We've warned for a long time that these urban bum-jungles on the West Coast are a disaster waiting to happen. Think of this way: an illegal immigrant carrying some exotic disease---or a terrorist with a contagious biological weapon---can release a pandemic among the street population that could spread like wildfire through an entire city. Infected bums will probably run to other cities and set off a chain-reaction.
A scenario like that is a real possibility. Typhus, Bubonic Plague, Ebola, Diptheria and other epidemics were spread in the past by lack of sanitary conditions in urban areas.
But try and explain any of this to an average West Coast Liberal and you'll likely get met with a furious onslaught of outrage. They'd rather pretend that wading through piles of human waste and discarded is somehow all the Republicans' fault and turn their anger on us instead.
