SUMMERS OF LOVE AND WINTERS OF OUR DISCONTENT

       As we mentioned in an earlier post, a Migrant Caravan armed convoy calling itself God's Army is converging on the Chaz Zone  Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas where Antifa thugs Christian Nationalists are declaring themselves de facto independent from the Federal Government. Like their earlier Democrat counterparts in Seattle, the Texas Republican Establishment is proclaiming this a peaceful protest; though since it's late January, the GOP can't very well appropriate the same Summer of Love theme that apologists on the Left had. 

      

     The peaceful protesters in Seattle and God's Army are (at least superficially anyway) on opposite poles politically; however one thing that both popular uprisings have in common is that the Federal Government seems utterly impotent to deal with them. This has led some in the foreign press to the interesting speculation that the US may be headed for the same end as the USSR three decades ago.

    There are similarities between the two situations. It became apparent during the late 1980s that the Soviet Union was a failed State until it finally collapsed and dissolved in 1991. It's been obvious since 2020 that the United States is also a failed State. However differences end there. In the Soviet case, everyone knew that the system had failed; Americans are fighting to hold the illusion that we have not. In the USSR, the central government was the Soviet Politburo and with its bankruptcy went the nation. In the US, the central government is also bankrupt but the de facto government at the World Economic Forum and on Wall Street are very much solvent. The USSR was fortunate to have patriotic and intelligent leaders like Vladimir Putin who knew what had to be done and organized themselves to do it and restore and rebuild a functioning republic. The US has no such leadership nor organization. 

    Secession is no more a realistic possibility than 'Civil War 2.0.' The chances are much higher that we will devolve into a Technofascist dictatorship like the Israeli or Canadian Government. We are not experiencing a system collapse: what we are experiencing is more like a Controlled Demolition of the old system so that the Great Reset can take its place.

   If we look at a map of the US and statistics by State, we see the impossibility of secession. In the Iron Curtain, everyone knew that the Soviet Union was really Russia. The US States have no such dominant power and are far too interdependent upon each other and the Federal Government in DC to break up as smoothly. For one thing, most of the US is completely landlocked. The majority of State Governments are just as much failures as the Federal Government, and probably outside of California, Texas, and Florida none really even have the potential to become self-sustaining. 

   There is a Constitutional procedure for secession, though no state has ever done it. A State can secede legally if their Legislature approves it, and petitions Congress and its move is ratified and signed into law by the President. It's the same procedure as joining the Union. A State which declares its independence unilaterally is deemed under American Law to be in a state of Rebellion.

   Now let us suppose that Texas legally secedes from the Union. I don't think that the online proponents of this idea have thought about the actual aftermath very deeply. The American propensity for acting first and thinking later could have some serious consequences.

   For a start, Texas would lose all of its representation in Congress, and every Texan now holding a position in the Federal Government would lose his job and have to return to Texas. That includes the Military. Are there jobs for these people? By the way, Texas would receive no more federal subsidies for things like unemployment, Social Security, or pensions. All of the federal welfare spending would become the sole responsibility of Texas taxpayers. 

   Texas would also lose all federal funding for its National Guard (and note that all of its equipment, including future replacement parts come from the United States). It would lose all funding for Border Security, highway and road systems, waterways, the power grid, the public schools and universities, police departments, libraries, public transportation, maintaining its ports, and it would have to operate its own postal system. All of this would be paid for by Texas taxpayers. 

   The Border that the State seems so concerned about is bounded by a river that is an international waterway. Texas would have to sign a treaty with both the US and Mexico for access to it. Other rivers like the Red River in the north would also become an international boundary. All of the migrant deportations that Texas is so proud of would have to be conducted across international instead of state boundaries: indeed, Texans would need its own system of passports to travel outside the State. What about Federal transportation like Amtrak that goes through Texas? About pipelines or economic trade agreements that would have to be signed? Has anyone thought about these things?

   What about Federal property in Texas? US Military bases, federal buildings, national parks, etc. would all be evacuated and closed. Do the US taxpayers who paid for these structures receive any compensation? What about all of the US tax dollars spent in Texas since Reconstruction---will they owe the United States for any of this? 

   On the subject of money, Texas Independence would mean that the State would have to set up its own Central Bank and print and back its own currency against an international exchange-rate. When Texas briefly was independent during the 1840s, their inability to have a stable currency was one of the main reasons that they joined the United States. 

   Secession is a lot easier to talk about than actually doing, which is why it will never go beyond talking. Today's Americans are notoriously adverse to self-sacrifice and hard work: which is what any State would need to do to make itself a Republic. Wishful thinking to the contrary, Texans are no different than the rest of America in that respect. Shelby Park will end up like the Chaz Zone did and Texas is going to stay in the Union. 

    

A MINORITY WITH GOD IS A MAJORITY

   Right on cue, the MSM kicked off Monday Morning with the usual barrage of Planned-emic 'news'. The Summer of Hate is apparently winding down early. I earlier had guessed that 'Phase II' wouldn't blow in until late August. The Elites don't even bother hiding what they're doing anymore. Watching of all the NPCs out about this weekend suffocating on their own exhalations in the near 90-degree heat illustrates that the Elites don't really have to hide anything. Thirty years of practical experience have taught them that the Ameroboob can be made to join the stampede whenever they wish them to. 

   This appalling state of affairs has led to something of an existential dilemma for us here. Longtime readers probably recall that---except for exposing their crimes---I rarely engaged with Liberal policies and ideologies before the Rebellion began in February. The reasons for not doing so was because there were many good sites already doing that; and because Liberalism's falsehoods are very much self-evident and, to be frank, I have a low tolerance for stupidity. When the Insurrection broke out, I thought the probability was that it would collapse like the fake impeachment, the anti-Trump demonstrations, etc. So far it hasn't happened and we're now six months in. In some States (e.g., California, Washington, Kentucky, New York, New Jersey and others) the Governors have been ruling by decree with no Legislative oversight. 

   Admittedly there is a part of me that says: "Look, you've been warning everyone about this for years. Just go enjoy yourself. These idiots are getting everything they deserve, and when it gets worse they'll deserve it even more. Who cares, as long as they leave you alone?" 

   Then I recall something that Humphrey Bogart said about the Nazis during World War 2. Bogart had a reputation among certain free-spirited men much like myself. One asked him the same question to which Bogart replied: 

    "I know you're no mental giant, but try to juggle this... all of you. I got a firsthand report on what it's like on the other side. And brother, I'm telling you, we gotta watch our steps. Those babies are strictly no good from way down deep. They're no bunch of petty racketeers trying to muscle in on some small territory - they want to move in wholesale, take over the whole country."

   To which one answered: "So what? It don't make no difference to me who runs the country, as long as they stay out of my way."

   Bogart said:  "Oh, now listen, big shot: that's just it; they're not going to stay out of your way. They'll tell you what time you get up in the morning and what time you go to bed at night. They'll tell you what you eat, what kind of clothes you can wear, what you drink. They'll even tell you the morning paper you can read."

  Whoa. And men today think that Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan talk straight. For those men who've grown up since the Clinton It Takes a Village and Are Men Necessary? eras, this is how our older mentors and even our fathers used to talk to us young upstarts. Facing reality was part of growing up for a young man---and men today need to face reality more than anything else because Bogart's prediction is going to come true if they don't. 

      Most of my adult life has been spent during the Deep State times, and far be it from me to be naive about the passivity and stupidity of today's typical American male. And what's especially incredible is that the dire forecasts that the Elites are spreading about the 'Second COVID Wave' are even more fantastic than the first: and everybody knows now that the mass-deaths predicted in the First Wave never happened. There's no way that one can make a coherent argument in a case like this. One almost really has to wonder where the line crosses here between ignorance and mental illness. 

    Granted the dumbed-down schools, insipid media, and widespread narcotics consumption has broken down many Americans' will to question anything. Chinese scientists said very early on that the COVID virus could not survive in outdoor temperatures higher than 95 degrees. Most influenza viruses can't. This is why October-February is the Flu Season in Northern Climates. The COVID spikes reported this month are biologically impossible. But, of course, the Media's selling this story to people who believe that there are really more than two genders in the human race.

   Similarly, we've been fed lies about Institutional Racism, which have led to laws being imposed on the public by the same unelected despots who've been imposing lockdowns and mandatory masks. We're told that tearing down national monuments, rewriting history, and effacing cultural icons are necessary to atone for the alleged murder of a thug by a Minneapolis police officer. The thug was still alive and talking when brought to the hospital and the Coroner reported that he died from a system weakened by drug abuse and poor nutrition. But again, biology be d----d, we need an outrage here. 

   It's important to keep in focus though that we're not fighting on behalf of the Deadweight who are carrying on like this. It's always been a minority who've stood up in defense of Right. The Whacko Left Wing tries to appear larger than it really is by conflating the general public's torpidity with acquiescence. Actually, the majority of Americans don't even bother to vote. They're much more concerned with running with the crowd, watching porn and getting stoned than they are about their own welfare; the only interest some have in 'New Normals' is how they can employ them to make a fast buck or sabotage someone they envy. 

   But that's not what we're about. Just circumvent the rotters and stand firm. In the Creation story, God's first command to Man was to "maintain the Garden and defend it." That's the rule we need to follow. Focus on suppressing our foes and the rest will fall into place.

    

    

    

  

A REALITY CHECK ON INDEPENDENCE DAY

    The three-day weekend on this July 4th hopefully will give the downtrodden and dispirited American public some time to reflect on this year. We are right now in an ongoing coup d'etat, though thanks to the Media Slime, many are in a state of denial unaware of what's happening right before their eyes. They've all sorts of media circuses to distract attention from the New Normal. 

    "Residents of the small New Hampshire town of Bedford were shocked to learn today of the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell,  former consort of disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Described by neighbors as a 'gentle giant', Maxwell was arrested in a local supermarket after customers complained that she was standing less than six feet away and maskless. Investigators also found racist material---reportedly a box of Uncle Ben's Rice and an Eskimo Pie---in her grocery cart. Upon interrogation, it was learned that she and Epstein engaged in heterosexual activities and once watched a Washington Redskins football game after a night of sex. Horrified investigators jailed her and have put her on a Suicide Watch; but don't believe any Right-Wing conspiracy theories if she actually dies. 

   "In other news, Democratic leaders are blasting the President's racist, homophobic, and ignorant Mt. Rushmore speech. Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden said of the infamous diatribe: 'Orange Man Bad.' We'll have a full analysis with a panel of experts on CNN Tonight with Don Lemon..."

   You get the idea. The MSM actually deserves to be laughed at more than it merits analytical criticism. But what's no laughing matter is the mass-hysteria that the Press has been whipping on since February. 

  Americans need to pause this holiday season and start thinking for a change. Has anybody noticed that the COVID hysteria broke out less than one month after the Democrats' final attempt at Impeachment failed? Was there the slightest bit of discussion or debate at the legislative levels before Democrat and RINO governors simply declared a State of Emergency and began ruling by decree? 

   And, as we've predicted many times now, the 'Reopening' is all fake. Now that the Summer of Love is fading before the next manufactured crisis---the 'Resurgent COVID outbreak' is dominating the news. Rebel governors are already rolling back the 'reopenings' and issuing absurd decrees like mandatory mask-wearing despite the fact that we've all known from the beginning that masks are useless. 

    Instead of falling for this again, Americans need to stop and think. What caused this new 'outbreak?' The Insurgents insist that it's not the riots. It isn't because of close contact in 'essential' businesses before. No; it's because we 'reopened' too soon, according to Mad Scientist-in-Chief Fauci. 

    So, in other words, not social distancing doesn't cause COVID outbreaks and neither does not 'masking up'; at the same, however, we need to mandate these practices because they supposedly prevent the disease from spreading. Then again, masks don't have the ability to stop a virus, but we have to wear them anyway because they're mandated---and that's alright too, since virologists don't actually know at this point whether COVID is airborne or spread by close contact. But gloves aren't mandated because they're too porous to prevent contamination by contact. 

   Some of the mad doctors are saying that the virus has mutated into a new form. They don't know what it does or how it spreads; but that's reason enough to forbid you from visiting a gym with a dozen people; but not a big box store with hundreds of people. And it's not dangerous to join with the jolly neighbors to burn police cars and loot the local Safeway; but going to church is definitely unsafe. 

   All of this should tell us that all of these emergency measures---which they tell us one moment are temporary and a 'New Normal' the next---are based on nothing but a lie. Yes, COVID-19 is a real virus. A virus with a .05% mortality rate; a virus that over half of those infected are asymptomatic; a virus with an 85% recovery rate. In other words, it's a new strain of the Common Flu, and it's being treated like the Black Death---even though none of the mandates associated with it actually work. 

   

  
     Apparently part of the New Normal is mixing social restrictions with periods of psychotic rage. “It’s clear to me that we’re not going back into a national lockdown, but what people should expect are rolling periods and rotating areas of reopening phases,” David Rosenberg, founder and president of Toronto’s Rosenberg Research told interviewers in Money magazine last week, "What is more likely is a patchwork system of local response, and stepped-up promotion and enforcement of partial measures like mask-wearing and social distancing. All of which will help, but economies won’t really be let loose until the “Big Kahuna” of a vaccine eventually comes along."

    The vaccine is going end all of this just like anti-Terrorism laws after the fall of Al-Qaeda and ISIS were repealed and life got back to normal again. It didn't happen then and it's not intended that it should happen now. 

   So in June, the Elites figured out that the intervals between these epidemics shouldn't be wasted, so they've decided to employ them with rounds of Cultural Cleansing. This last month's was built on as much of a lie as the COVID 'crisis' is. A policeman in Minneapolis subdued a known thug with a legal (and non-lethal) martial arts hold. Even though said thug was talking the entire time, the consensus was that the officer choked him to death. How he could speak with a broken windpipe, nobody bothered to ask; but we're talking about a populace already conditioned to believe that a bad cold could wipe out millions of people. Just like most COVID fatalities were related to pre-existing conditions, so the thug George Floyd died of stress complicated by drug abuse. 

   Now, only a week before, police were held up among the frontline heroes bravely risking COVID exposure to keep us all safe. Then, suddenly, they became emblematic of Systemic Racism (whatever that means) and the Elites launched a campaign of defunding and disbanding police forces. That---along with releasing inmates during the lockdowns---led to a surge in crimes; however we're told that these aren't really crimes. Instead, they are only justifiable expressions of outrage felt by the oppressed communities who've suffered from White Privilege. 

   Nobody actually knows what White Privilege and Systemic Racism actually mean---or even if they really exist---but all the unthinking American dimwit has to know is that they must mean very bad things and that the demands of whoever opposes them must be good things. What destroying national monuments, scrubbing the names of national heroes from public places, and changing century-old corporate logos has to do with a very tenuous case of alleged police brutality in a Minnesota city is anybody's guess---and so far nobody has bothered to ask. 

   These are things that most Americans need to think about on this 4th: which can be summed up by saying: Pull your collective heads out of your collective butts and start thinking for yourselves for a change. Shake the Cannabis-charred cobwebs from your brains and realize that you're being played for fools. Stop pretending that compliance will save you: the Elites will only tolerate your stupidity and cowardice as long as you are considered useful to them. 

   For the actual, thinking American whose Reason and Faith are feeling shaken right now, you should reflect instead that we---as a people---have been in tough spots before. In 1950, former President Harry Truman said: "Communism is godless. Faith is the foundation of our democracy: faith in oneself, faith in one's neighbor, and Faith in God." It has always been a minority whose perseverance has carried the majority. Since the Declaration of Independence was signed, consider how hopeless the 4th of July must have looked in 1780, 1863, and 1942 when we were locked in fights for liberty and on the defensive. In 2020, we're on the defensive too, but we can still win this fight. Keep the Faith---it's our most important defense right now.

SEATTLE POLICE TAKE DOWN INSURGENT ZONE

      Seattle's bull-dyke mayor---with her manhood constantly being questioned by President Trump---finally moved today to suppress the Soviet Republic known variously as Chaz or Chop. The Commune unilaterally declared its independence from the United States on June 9th and carried out a three-week Reign of Terror in which violent crimes exceeded all of 2019's annual numbers. Yesterday, crews from SDOT broke down the concrete border-walls and today at dawn SWAT stormed and retook the abandoned police precinct building. 

    Earlier in June, peaceful protesters howling over the death of George-Whats-His-Name menaced the Capitol Hill police precinct, and the SPD ran away screaming down the sidewalk. Thus an entire neighborhood was left defenseless until today. The SWAT team met with little resistance, save for one Anarcho-tard who attacked them with a home-made pike. So far, 32 of the Insurgents have been captured---hopefully to face Federal charges. There's been no word as of this writing on the whereabouts of former Chazian President Solomon Simone.

  Simone is no stranger to jail cells himself---with a lengthy arrest record for narcotics, weapons, child endangerment, driving with suspended licenses, carrying fake ID papers, etc. It really ought to cause us to pause and reflect that Solomon Simone is what the Whacko Left prefers in a leader over President Trump. Let that thought sink in.

 Within the next few days, hopefully, Simone's next leadership position will be on a chain-gang on its way to clean up all the garbage and graffiti he and his followers spread through the Capitol Hill neighborhood.  I suppose that another lesson here is that standing up to bullies actually works---even when Liberals do it. If the Seattle Police---the weakest, most impotent law enforcement agency of any major American city---can do it, anybody can.  

      As might be expected, the Media rats are in a state of mourning. They had been portraying the Commune as a Summer of Love and a Great Social Experiment. But Chazimbabwe crashed and burned like every other Communist state. While it's true that Washington State's and the City of Seattle's leadership has been highly complicit in the 2020 Coup, the existence of this social blot within their jurisdiction was undermining their own cause. To the Red mindset anything that impedes the progress of the Revolution automatically becomes expendable---and that's what happened to the Chazimbabwean 'experiment'. All of these young Marxists who supported the Commune should have read a little movement's history. If they had, they would have found out the Left has no more compunction about sacrificing its own members than it has about liquidating its perceived enemies. Just ask Leon Trotsky. 

   In fact, Mayor Durkan has fallen out with Bolshevik City Councilwoman Kshama Sawant. Sawant is really more of an obnoxious pest than an actual political force in Seattle, but she has a large cult following among the Seattle Left because of her unapologetic Communism. In a prepared statement, Durkan accused Sawant of doing the following things during this Summer's riots: 

• Allowing hundreds of protesters into City Hall after hours without following social distancing or masking protocols, prompting safety complaints from janitorial staff.
• Leading a protest to the mayor's home, knowing that Durkan's address is protected by a state program due to threats related her her time as a U.S. Attorney.
• Using her position to encourage protesters to occupy the East Precinct as "the City has been trying to de-escalate the situation and ask individuals to depart because of violence in the area."

   All of which are true, by the way. Sawant responded by writing: "In reality, this is an attack on working people’s movements, and everything we are fighting for, by a corporate politician desperately looking to distract from her failures of leadership and politically bankrupt administration." Which is also true. Durkan is the daughter of a very corrupt State politician who became an even more corrupt lobbyist. Her brother was an adviser to former Seattle Mayor Greg Nickles who was largely loathed for his habit of awarding fat government contracts to his Corporate cronies instead of local businesses. Her own mayoral campaign was heavily backed by Corporate interests. 

   Durkan also has that peculiar lesbian proclivity for bullying and violent conduct towards other women. According to Wikipedia:  "In April 2019, two of Durkan's staffers accused her of mistreatment and called the working environment 'toxic'. One alleged that Durkan had 'grabbed her face and forcibly turned her head' when the employee was making suggestions on how to handle the anniversary of the death of community leader Donnie Chin. The other described a hostile work environment where she was 'set up to fail' despite having a good track record at previous jobs, and wanted $1.6 million in lost wages and emotional distress. Both employees were Asian women, a fact the second employee pointed out. Durkan's office denied both employees' allegations." 

   Sawant is so far to the Left politically that even the Democrat Party fringe distances itself from some of her kooky proposals and really weird behavior. During the Democratic Party primaries, she wrote the following to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “Finally, we must recognize that while we agree on many things there is a fundamental difference between Marxism and social democratic politics. Socialist Alternative and I are fighting for a socialist world and recognize capitalism cannot be made to work for the working class. Social democrats hope to create a humane capitalism – a futile mission and fundamental error. We also believe we need a new party for working people, independent of corporate money and the ruling class and we do not agree with your decisions to run as a Democrat.”

  But strangest of all was the recent revelation that the Durkan Administration had only seven months ago awarded then-future Chazian President Solomon Simone with an $84,000 City grant to build a recording studio. This relationship between Simone and the City has not been fully explained, though it may explain in large part why the City has brought no charges (yet) against him despite his leading of a Secessionist plot. Simone is not exactly the impoverished child of the ghetto that he makes himself out to be. It's also quite suspicious that in all of the crimes Simone has been arrested for committing, he's never been sentenced to serve time for a single one of them. 

  Vlogger Davey Crocko recently exposed Simone's connections to high-level executives within the music industry. As Crocko pointed out, it's very shady that a rather mediocre rap musician from Gig Harbor, Washington suddenly hobnobs with these rather powerful Hollywood figures. As any Californian with even a modest degree of awareness knows, Hollywood is barely one step removed from an organized crime syndicate in its own right. 

  I hope that Seattle's media digs into the connection between Durkan, Sawant, and Simone because there's obviously something fishy about this whole drama of the Chaz Commune's rise and fall. Better still, I hope that Attorney-General Barr warms up the DOJ Steamroller and heads it off in the direction of the Emerald City. A Swamp-Draining in that city is long overdue. 

    

  



  

CHAZIMBABWE

   So as America spirals into Communism,  it probably shouldn't be surprising that the Pacific Coast would be the site of our first Soviet Commune. Seattle, Washington is a city that was once the recruiting headquarters of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders and the home of the National Guard unit that formed the famous Lost Battalion. President McKinley awarded Seattle with a special citation for providing the most troops per capita for the Spanish-American War and the Boxer Rebellion. Seattle's shipyards and aircraft industry not only contributed to winning World War 2; they helped America win the Space Race and the Cold War. Besides the engineers, blue-collar workers, and military men, on a given night in Seattle one also would encounter lumberjacks, fishermen, Alaskan gold-hunters, cowboys, and fur-trappers. It was, overall, a city with a backbone.

   But that was then, this is now. Seattle today is a city dominated by homeless bums, rabid drug addicts, and sexual perverts. Earlier this week, several of that class of citizens decided to take over a district in the City known as Capitol Hill after the police fled from the precinct in the face of the peaceful protests. The scum then had the audacity to declare an independent socialist republic! The area is known now as the 'Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or 'Chaz'. Somewhere along the line, they even appointed a President: one Solomon Simone who had a career a few years back as a hip-hop musician.

  Now President Simone heads a country that (so far) is unrecognized by any other government---including that of the United States. The Trump Administration has offered to send in Federal troops to put down this insurrection, but the Whacko Left running Washington State roundly rebuffed the suggestion. Frankly, if I were in his position, I wouldn't ask for permission. One look at the local law enforcement apparatus should indicate just how competent they are to bring the situation under control. 

   Those living outside of the Chaz Soviet might laugh over this; but it's no laughing matter to the citizens trapped inside of this cesspool. By the Seattle Police Chief's own admission, our first Worker's Paradise is conspicuous for violent crimes and property expropriation. That's been true of all Communist States however. As Lenin---who coined the term ' Political Correctness' famously said: "You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs." And President Simone strikes me as the type who enjoys cracking eggs just because eggs are white. 

   The vermin in the MSM have been carrying on as if the Chaz Soviet is some sort of idyllic land where everyone partakes of the opiate of Universal Love. It's real Opioids that is likely fueling most of this, however. 

   Reality, however, has this way of intruding upon Liberal pipe-dreams. Ignoring the Chaz Soviet isn't going to make it go away. This is a situation that's bound to get worse if it isn't stopped cold. Communists are thugs; and thugs are attuned to sense weakness in others. And that weakness just emboldens them. The Chaz Soviet maybe a brush fire; but brush fires can become wildfires: and that's what will happen once the scumbags in other cities decide they want their own countries too. 

   If the last four years have taught us anything, they've taught us not to underestimate President Trump. Whatever he has planned, he needs to do it fairly soon. We're probably closer now to a Red Revolution than we've ever been, and we need an intervention ASAP. 

EASTER YEGGS

  So after years of PC and Cancel Culture jackasses trying to close down Easter Celebrations, in 4/5 of the US, they've finally managed to succeed. Words like 'congregation' and 'communion' and 'fellowship' implies Christians gathering for together for worship---and since the Right of Assembly has been nullified 'temporarily suspended;' and the Opiate of the Masses has been deemed nonessential to the State, we've joined the ranks of many progressive nations in stamping out outdated concepts like Faith.

    Here in the Land of the Free, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards ordered the arrest of Pastor Tony Spell and closed his church prior to Palm Sunday. This hasn't happened in Louisiana since the Confederate governor prohibited Blacks from assembling and holding religious services during the US Civil War. That governor was a Democrat working against the US Constitution too. The Christian-hating Governor Jay Inslee of Washington is the only (so far) to prohibit religious gatherings expressly. His Orders read that:"All gatherings of people for social, spiritual and recreational purposes are prohibited."
   
   In Kentucky, the increasingly repressive regime of Governor Brashear has ordered the secret police the Kentucky State Patrol to record license plates of persons attending Easter Services to be rounded up for internment Quarantine. 

 "Those who make the decision to be exposed to the deadly coronavirus are not being fair to those that you would spread it to...any individual who’s going to participate in a mass gathering of any type that we know about this weekend: we’re going to record license plates and provide it to local health departments. Local health departments are going to come to your door with an order for you to be quarantined for 14 days.” 

      This shouldn't be surprising. This is the same State that once locked up a public official for refusing to bow to homo 'marriage'---and has been persecuting her ever since. If people wonder how scum like Brashear are able to get away with their crimes, it's because of many other crimes like that one which went unchallenged by the mentally comatose American pubic.  

    Brashear has been feuding with his neighbors---as dictators are wont to do---and Tennessee's more Constitutionally-based system has him irked. It seems that many Kentuckians have been have been going to Tennessee to escape the repression. In response, Brashear has taken the blatantly illegal step of banning interstate travel. In the WHAS article linked above, it mentions that one resident "has to carry papers to prove she can travel." 

   Crackdowns on travel have been the innovation of Week 5. One unfortunate fellow in Philadelphia---formerly known as the Birthplace of American Liberty---who had the manhood to assert his Rights got dragged off a city bus by police. 

   This gentleman believed that he had a right to sit on a bus without wearing a mask. The Ministry of Transportation Southeast Pennsylvania Transit Authority decreed that all passengers must wear these things. The sight of a Black man being dragged off a bus and beaten by White policemen for presuming he had a right to sit anywhere he pleased, probably hasn't happened in Pennsylvania since about 1940 or so; but this is the New Normal. 

   Travel Permits have been a dream of the Whacko Left for a long time. The Clinton Co-Presidency and the Swamp RINOs under Bush Junior floated the ideas---then allegedly to protect us from terrorism---but it was too transparently illegal to be implemented. Junior and Obama responded with all forms of harassment against travellers in federally regulated travel like airlines. From No-Fly-Lists to airport scanners that viewed people in the nude: none of these outrages and insults caused even the slightest objections from the drug-addled and demoralized American public. With no prospect of meeting any resistance, Travel Permits are being imposed again. 

   In fact, Dr. Anthony Fauci---who's emerged recently as the biggest Swamp RINO of them all---boasted to fake-news CNN that Travel Permits are being proposed again nationally. In interview with Alisyn Camerota on Friday, Fauci claimed that it was a great idea to begin issuing Certificates of Immunity. This card would give you permission from the Government to work, travel, etc. Sort of like the old Soviet Union where the Commissars would issue a certificate for similar purposes after the applicant was interviewed by Communist Party chieftains and approved as ideologically pure.  

  Now if the American people haven't seen where this is going before, it's impossible that they don't see it now. The Ameroboobs had better start putting down the Marijuana, turning off the MSM--- and pick up their eyeballs and screw them back into their empty skulls before we lose the country. That's not hyperbole here. If Pelosi and the other perverts in Congress get national laws issuing Certificates of Purity like Fauci suggests, the Republic is over. That Certification is going to decide who has rights and who hasn't. 

  I've visited countries where citizens are required to carry certificates of various kinds. Mexico is a good example. Now, Mexico is not a repressive dictatorship---it's a relatively free country. But without that certificate---in their case a Voter Registration Card---it's impossible to obtain certain jobs, open a bank account, exercise the right to vote, own a firearm, participate in the Mexican Stock Exchange, etc. The Mexican Government actually retains the power to treat citizens who are not certified as resident aliens if they choose to do so: and foreign nationals in Mexico really are never encouraged to forget that whatever freedoms they exercise are privileges and not rights. 

   Our Founding Fathers never intended that there should be any kind of loyalty oaths or religious/political tests upon which our inalienable Rights depend. If it were up to me, Anthony Fauci, John Bel Edwards, Jay Inslee, Andy Breshear, and Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf would be taken under arrest by US Marshals and tried before Congress for Treason. But as long as the Ameroboobs remain pacified with cheap drugs and Government handouts, no one will care too much.

  

APPOMATTOX ANNIVERSARY

      153 years ago today was the first day of a new era in American History. A conspiracy to break up the Union and the bloodiest war we've seen either before or since had ended the day before. Thousands of broken men were liberated from death-camps like Andersonville. The slavery issue, too, was settled once and for all. The Southern Aristocracy gave way to the Democracy which we all now have.

       Sadly, Americans' jubilation was short-lived; for five days later, President Lincoln was gunned down in cold blood by one of the partisans of the Southern Aristocracy. 

       Today it's become somewhat fashionable to support the so-called 'Confederacy' and deride the memory of Lincoln. But people forget that the U.S. Civil War was the decisive battle between democracy and despotism on our own shores. For the first 90 years of our independence, the Southeastern states were more closely modeled on European feudalism than the republican ideals of the Constitution.

        After our victory in the American Revolution, there were those who wanted to establish a monarchy in this country. Washington was offered the crown and refused it. He began the precedent of presidents serving only two terms. When George III tried to reconquer us in 1812; the Southern politicians obstructed our war efforts fearing that annexation of Canada would bring in more anti-slavery and anti-aristocratic sentiments. 

        In 1832, South Carolina threatened to secede over a tariff on cotton. President Jackson backed them down with his forceful leadership. A similar threat happened in 1850 when an attempt to secede was put down by President Taylor. Between then and 1861, the anti-government conspiracy went into overdrive. Southern politicians like Jefferson Davis used their positions to set up the South and weaken the North. Davis was Defense Secretary under President Pierce. He loaded West Point with Southerners and moved arsenals South. By 1860, the Southern Aristocracy had made it clear what would happen if the Election of 1860 didn't go as they wanted. They were the first 'not my president' crowd. 

         And they were also every bit as vicious and tyrannical as the current anti-government gangs. One of the first acts of the Confederate Government was to confiscate the property of anybody who opposed secession. Thousands of people were literally driven out of their homes and reduced to abject poverty. Union soldiers later found many living in hovels and caves; barely alive. 

            After the war started, the Confederate Army rejected every principle of civilized warfare. They massacred Negro soldiers in cold blood and hanged their officers. They built death-camps for the express purpose of killing and maiming Union troops. The same fiends who devised those camps also ran a secret police force to maintain order. 

            Regardless of what revisionists say, we should be thankful that we had a President Lincoln and 2 million soldiers who fought for the Union. Over 360,000 of these men never came back. 1,522 soldiers won the Congressional Medal of Honor: the most in any American war. And not only were there heroic men; but women like Red Cross founder Clara Barton organized medical and humanitarian relief which continued long after the war. In many ways, the Lincoln Administration contrasted some of our darkest hours against some of our most heroic and self-sacrificing moments as a people.

            

CULTISH VOX DAY ATTACKS CHRISTIANS, PART III

    So we're now up to the third installment of Vox Day's rather lame defense of his Alt-RINO Manifesto. So far, Vox has yet to tell us how his Manifesto is based in Christian Doctrine or how this response to it is inconsistent with it. 

    This third section contains considerable arm-flapping and spouts of self-righteous indignation from Vox and his disciples. He's barely been able to go one paragraph in all three articles without references to Churchians, Cuckservatives, cretins, morons, and jackasses. This however is the Red Pill idea of high-level discourse.

     One of the high points of this third article was when Vox---who usually employs the notorious echo symbol when referencing (((a Jew)))---actually accuses Comic Hound of anti-Semitism! No really, he says this. And he even---falsely---claims that Comic Hound's rejection of the infamous Blood and Soil doctrine implies opposition to Israel's existence as a nation. Anybody though who's read much of Alt-RINO literature realizes that the Red Pills who favor Israeli statehood do so not out of concern for the Jews; but only so the Jews have something like an Indian Reservation on which to live. 

      It's interesting to observe though that many Christians regard concentrating world Jewry into Palestine as a policy of the future prophesied Antichrist. Not all Christians agree about prophesies concerning the Jews---but it's really a moot point for our purposes since Vox is simply throwing out canards without addressing doctrines at all. 

       The Red Pills hold positions like these because they share with the Marxists a belief in Identity Politics. One of the points of Vox' Manifesto claims that politics stem from identity. This true when speaking of very primitive societies; but societies evolve and mature over time through close cooperation. Identity Politics exist at the sociological level of tribal systems, but are regressive social traits in a civilized society.

        Vox claims that a nation's political structure is rooted in its national identity. If this were true there would never have been either revolutions or civil wars in human history. The American Revolution is a good example: both sides in the War of Independence had a common identity as British and polar opposites in their politics. Another more radical example is Korea. Korea had no historical identity with republican governments and the yet the country split into a Democratic republic and a Communist republic. What these examples show is that, in the modern era, Comic Hound is correct in that politics supersedes both culture and identity. And as we showed in the last post, the Catechism teaches us that such is the Will of God, that nations grow and learn from each other.

        As a side note here: political and cultural problems generally stem from a spiritual problem. In the two examples above, America in 1776 was a deeply spiritual culture which felt restrained by British culture. Korea had a spiritual vacuum in 1945 which was easily filled by cults like the Moonies in the democratic South and by Communists in the North. 

        Copying another Game cultist, Chateau Heartiste, Vox asserts the Red Pill talking-point  that "Diversity+Proximity=War." This, he believes, is self-evident; and refers to skeptics as morons. His only answer is a lot of sneering, although Comic Hound points out that wars fought over diversity were initiated by racists. Which should be easy to refute, if false. If we look back at the last 150 or so years we see the American Civil War (started by a cabal intent on extending slavery). Then we see the Boer War (started by a group who wanted apartheid). Then there was WW1 (started by an empire bent on ethnically cleansing the Balkans. They were allied with another empire which ethnically cleansed the Armenians). WW2 is self-evident on this point. Korea and Vietnam were instigated by men bent on driving the White Devils from Asia, just as the earlier Boxer Rebellion did.

         So when Vox snorts, "What wars are these morons talking about", the answer is just about every major war since the Napoleonic Era. 

         Vox winds up his rabid screed by claiming that America does not exist on 'the idea that diversity is your right'. The First, Ninth, Tenth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the US Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding. 

          But again this is mostly distraction. Where again is the Alt-Right Manifesto based in Christian Doctrine? Vox hasn't told us yet---maybe he will in Part IV.

ANTI-TRUMP WHACKO GUNS DOWN REPUBLICAN OFFICIAL

    Brooks Jennings, an official in the Chester County Pennsylvania Republican Party was gunned down at his home late Monday night by a neighbor, one Clayton Carter. Reports say that the Jennings family was harassed and threatened by Carter on numerous previous occasions---as were other neighbors. Jennings is survived by a wife and son.

     ABC-6 News reported that Carter's yard is "crowded with handmade anti-Trump signs."  Police say that he had a history of neighborhood disputes and there are some indications that he may have participated in some of the violent anti-Trump rallies in the Philadelphia Metro Area.

      The Media and local authorities have been downplaying the obvious political motivation in this murder. They want to deny the existence of another festering social problem in the United States. We've seen since the 2016 Elections onward---and a few even before---of politically-based violence. Last month's attempted mass-murder of the Congressional Republican leadership should have been a national wake-up call. Instead, the story was buried under a morass of anti-Trump propaganda and pop-culture fluff; as were stories of violent anti-Trump riots, assaults and threats against Republican officials, ambushes and murders of policemen, etc.

      There's been a measure of Far-Right violence too, much of it racially as well as politically charged. There's been some discussions around the Internet lately in so-called Alt-Right circles about a "coming Civil War." Anti-Catholic bigot Michael Savage recently spoke of such a possibility on his radio show recently. Such talk though has been floating around on extremist blogs for some time; most notably Chateau Heartiste, Vox Populi, The Daily Stormer, and Return of Kings.

      Despite many people's concerns, it is very unlikely that we will have anything like a Civil War in the United States. If we look at the bigger picture, the denizens of the Deep State are on the defensive---although the MSM tries to cultivate the opposite impression. Trump is not going to be brought down, nor are there any imminent coups, though there's plenty of political intrigue and internal sabotage going on. What Conservative activists need to do is stop worrying about another Fort Sumter and start getting behind the President and backing candidates who support his policies.

      The larger social problem is though that there's a bloodthirsty element on both the Far Left and Far Right that desires political violence from a variety of motives. On the Left there are people like Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow; on the Right people like Michael Savage and Vox Day---all of them putting out hysterical rhetoric that's designed only for one purpose. Their goal is to reach those teetering on the brink on mental breakdown like Clayton Carter and goad them into action. Then when violence happens, they wash their hands like Pontius Pilate and declare "I am innocent of the blood of this man."

       There needs to be a serious debate in this country about re-elevating the level of political discourse. Pope Francis so far has been the only world leader who's really made an issue of it. We don't need new laws, but what we do need are more leaders and writers willing to condemn these kinds of inflammatory words and behaviors. Society needs to push them back to the fringes where they belong and our legal system needs to make examples of people like Carter.   

      

FEATURE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17th EDITION

     It's always interesting---and in many ways reassuring---that as we travel through our film archives each Friday to realize that our contemporary social issues are not unique to our times. We are not alone in the great scheme of human history. We often find in these representations of popular American culture of the past parallels to our own situations.

      Our recommendation for this weekend's viewing is the story of a group of 'lost boys' who find redemption in a cause greater than themselves. The film is a very underrated Western from 1972 titled A Reason to Live, A Reason to Die. The heroes are played by James Coburn and Bud Spencer.

       The story is set during another politically-divided time: specifically the US Civil War. Colonel Pembroke (played by James Coburn) a Union officer has built an impregnable fortress in the American Southwest. At the beginning of the film we learn that Pembroke surrendered the fort to the Confederate Major Ward and is court-martialed. Pembroke escapes from prison with his friend Eli Samson (played by Bud Spencer). Captured, he offers a plan to recapture the fort and clear his name; along with five other soldiers sentenced to death on the gallows and Samson.

      The men form an uneasy alliance from a variety of motives as the plan to take out the fort unfolds. We learn that Major Ward and the Confederates are planning to carve out a personal territory of their own once the Union has collapsed. And we learn the reason why Pembroke surrendered the fort.

       We say that this is an underrated film because it is a much deeper, thinking-man's than critics seem to realize. The storyline of condemned men on a suicide mission is nothing novel; but the character development and the sense of redemption for a greater purpose, is. In the aftermath of the 1860 Election, there was a literal rebellion against the government. The Confederacy was composed of an Oligarchy which kept half of the South in slavery and the other half in poverty and economic dependence. They were the Cultural Elites of their day: defenders of an unsustainable status quo that had paralyzed the country for decades---simply to uphold their power and privilege. Ironically too the Confederate leaders were all Democrats. They had been using their positions to undermine the government for years previous to Lincoln.

      And like the Conservatives of recent years, the generation just prior to the Civil War had grown complacent. We see this in Pembroke's character when we learn the reason for his surrender of the fort: he put a personal issue above his duty to the country. Ward's treachery brought Pembroke back to reality. He realized that the injustice he suffered would be multiplied to infinity if the Union collapsed and men like Ward were to take over. His mistake was a human mistake, but a costly one.

       In this aspect, A Reason to Live, A Reason to Die is not simply a revenge-themed Western nor is it a matter of a disgraced soldier reclaiming his honor. Pembroke's goal is to wipe out the wrong he did to society at large by undoing his mistake at whatever cost. This is why he selected other condemned men---most of whom seem to realize this as the story progresses. There is some foreshadowing of this when he debates with a religious zealot over the verse "Vengeance is Mine, sayeth the Lord."

       The idea of redemption through atonement is one that is lost on the enemies of Freedom, but it is a vital one for understanding the character of the men who made America great, like Colonel Pembroke. The godless Left and the Neo-Pagan Right both agree that mankind is flawed---but neither believe that Man is redeemable. That perspective is the basis of their Authoritarianism; logically if there is no redemption or possibility of atonement, Mankind can only be controlled and never given freedom of choice.

      There is definitely more substance to this film than what's on the surface. It tells us a lot about human nature, both for good and evil. A Reason to Live, A Reason to Die is available on Youtube as of this writing; and also on DVD. Besides its considerable action and entertainment value, it certainly gives pause for reflection.
