YES, TAKING THE RED PILL IS JUST AS BAD

   It took a strong dose of White Boy Summer last weekend to undo the imagery from that horrible video featured in our last post. Our community kicked off its County Fair season with a classic car show, some Monster Truck rallies, and some craft-shows which are ongoing through this week. I took in a lot of pizza, hot-dogs, and ice-cold Coca-Cola checking out the good work a lot of guys did on their vehicles. As for me, maybe in a year or two again (depending upon whether the Republic is still around). I have way too many projects backed up to take on another one. 😇

  The one thing that struck me (though it probably shouldn't have) was how few younger men (say 15-30 or so) were around. It occurred to me afterwards, though that at bottom such displays represent a lot of hard work, imagination, dedication, a certain level of intelligence and skill which led to achievement: things that our current generation of men aren't widely noted for possessing. A depressing poll reported by the Catholic League last week explains a lot of it. Building and creating things are deeply rooted in Masculine nature: it has its correspondence with child-bearing in the Feminine one. Since we've managed to produce a generation of men that doesn't even understand that boys and girls are actually different, it's no surprise that men have basically turned into parasites with no interest in achieving much of anything. 

   There is a minority of young men out there who sense something's wrong; but the Misandry permeating our culture right now---along the scarcity of contemporary positive role models---doesn't offer them much guidance. Blogger Insanity Bytes had a good article lately on the superficiality of so much so-called 'traditional' guidance. She writes:

    "My faith now totally revolves around my performance, mostly how well I perform for YOU, how beneficial my behavior is to YOU...So what is responsible for the decline of America, for the fact that we now have men without chests, for us being so complacent, so easily led by fear? We have been taught to root our faith in an act, in a performance, in a set of Western behavioral standards, in a culture. We’re all very compliant and obedient, tripping over ourselves to win people favor in fact, but obedient to what?? To whom?"

    In a healthy society, men understand that they are first true to themselves, and by extension true to their neighbors and country---ultimately all rooted in being true to God. But we're not a healthy society, and there's been another toxic movement afoot preying on young men. We've spoken of them many times---a loosely confederated online cult which offers men the promise of reclaiming masculinity by swallowing their programs (which they call taking the Red Pill). The Red Pill is dangerous for men because it does exactly what IB describes: it teaches one how to act like a man without actually being one. There are a whole bunch of these saps running around the Web, and they profit off many younger men desperate for any sign of life among American males. 


    "Taking the Red Pill" or following any of these clowns is like walking into a swamp where you see solid ground---until you step on it and fall into a deep pit of foul waters. The Red Pills are the same kinds of low-T creeps that Sam and Colby proved to be in our last article: the only difference is that the Red Pill teaches you how to put up a front to disguise it. These guys always get exposed in the end; because real manhood is manifested in action---not just cheap talk and posing. 

    A great example of this fake manhood in action happened this weekend in a story that went viral in the Manosphere. Mike Schiele, a podcaster and comedian who goes by the name 'Mersh' is a friend of our blog and has exposed a lot of these red-pilled frauds over the years. On Friday night, Mersh was in Tampa with some friends when a Red Pill who goes by the online name of Baked Alaska confronted him in public. We've had occasion to mention this Baked Alaska bozo a few times ourselves, here, here, and here. His real name is Tim Treadstone, and is suspected by many---and not without good reason---of being a paid informant for the Deep State. Mersh has been exposing a lot of Treadstone's shady dealings recently

   Basically what happened is that Baked Alaska appeared with some of his goons (and probably lawyers) live-streaming him calling out Mersh on a public sidewalk, throwing insults, daring Mersh to fight him, etc,---real manly Alpha leader behavior. Especially, since as Mersh pointed out, there were police foot-patrols on both ends of the sidewalk (which Treadwell didn't show in his camera angle). Mersh rightly saw that he was being baited and withdrew from the scene; which has since sent Treadwell off to beating his chest online talking like a he-man. 

   Mersh gave his side of the story on last night's broadcast of Nightwave Radio. He explained that he had a lot to lose by getting into a public brawl with this guy. I agree with Mersh's decision, though I'd certainly be plotting revenge. I sympathize with Mersh because I've been in that situation. Our legal system used to recognize a concept of fighting words. That legal doctrine held that when punks like Treadwell talked their way into getting their butts kicked, it was considered a form of self-defense. A few decades ago, Mersh could have given this thug the punishment he asked for and probably would not even have been charged. But that was then, this is now. Greedy trial lawyers and anti-male activists have so cut down the self-defense laws that scum like these can abuse their betters in public with impunity and a man's only real defense is to take it as stoically as possible. 

  That, however, is another topic. The point here is that Treadwell exposed the shallowness of the Red Pill more than anything else. This isn't how real men act; this is how passive-aggressive little dirtbags acted in Middle School who'd provoke other guys into fights and set it up beforehand so that the other guys got in trouble for it. Passive-Aggressiveness is apparent in both Baked Alaska's video and the video in the previous article. In the previous story, Sam and Colby talked all tough until the moment of truth came and they showed themselves cowards. In this case, Baked Alaska hid behind the protection of a system that he's gaming and talked tough without having to look like a coward. That's all the Red Pill is really about; faking it and putting up a facade without ever having to prove oneself either with words or deeds. 

   The Red Pill is really a concomitant of Feminism and depends upon a 'deconstructed' masculinity for its success and promotion. Our culture promotes passive-aggressiveness in men. It depreciates everything truly masculine as 'toxic' and makes heroes out of both feminized men and out of bully-boys as well. Look at pro sports: the cheat who plays dirty and wins-at-all-costs is idolized and so is the limp-wristed openly gay player and losers like Colin Kaepernick. Look at the military: punks who sit behind consoles and launch missiles on defenseless peoples are war-heroes today; so are the brave men and women in uniform* who are purging so-called 'toxic masculinity' from our ranks. Look at Corporate America; the woke CEO is the new model businessman; the perverts in HR and PR departments are also hailed as business leaders. And look at our Government: the conniving, go-along-to-get along Conservative is supported by one faction, the Leftist promoting the Great Reset is supported by the other. Fair play, standing for principle, the courage of a conviction---these masculine qualities are laughed at, if not openly persecuted. 

   Young men today need to be aware of this false dichotomy and avoid falling into the Red Pill trap. Online today when you see men talking about getting red-pilled, becoming 'Alphas' or learning 'Game', it's best to turn and head in the other direction. Remember that in the past there were men who became men in spite of negative social circumstances too. What many boys and young men did was to pick leaders of the past---the kinds of men whose statues the Liberals are destroying---and learn about them. Take them as your role models. (It's recommended that you try and read material on them published before 1980 or so; which are usually free of PC biases in the writings). Granted it's harder to become a man today anywhere in the Anglosphere than ever before. But men are so constituted that the greater the obstacle overcome the more secure one becomes in his true strengths. 


**********************************

(*this term, BTW, was started as a public talking-point by George Bush Jr.; who incidentally campaigned on a promise to reverse the feminization of the military started by the Clintons. Previously, Conservative pundits had a stock phrase, "our brave men in uniform" but the Right quickly forgot all about that. We might recall that Bush made it a point in nearly every speech to emphasize that the Taliban "didn't let girls go to school" that's even worse to most Conservatives than training and equipping international terrorists who kill Americans).

THE REAL TOXIC MASCULINITY

      A few years ago, we started (a now closed) site that was directed at creating a resource to guide American men. It's been painfully apparent for the last decade at least that the United States is suffering a crisis of Masculinity. Nationally, we seem to have run out of it, and can't even seem to be able to define it anymore. That's one of the reasons why the blog ended up closing; not because it wasn't getting readers, but because it wasn't meeting its purpose. Most of its readers were men who already were in sync with its message, and while they probably picked up some self-improvement tips and were entertained by the stories, it became apparent that we were simply talking over most younger guys' heads. It really became noticeable when Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life came out. When you have a huge percentage of men who think that being told to stand up straight and make their beds every morning are life-changing revelations,---and even have these debated by a lot of other men---then obviously writing articles about building leadership skills and complimentarian relationships was bound not to gain any traction. 

    The sad state of our men was brought home again today when I had occasion to revisit a (then) cold-case that had piqued my interest. It happened a little over two years ago. The police have zero interest in investigating it any further, which is probably understandable since the deceased has since been identified and there's nothing but circumstantial evidence of foul play. To summarize what happened, in the Summer before the Scamdemic and Color Revolution broke out, a hiker was going up a trial in the 'Enchanted Forest' in Altadena, California. The park of this name was formerly the rancho of a lumber company executive named Charles Cobb. The estate fell into foreclosure later, and in 1971 (back in the day when Americans cared more about community than turning a fast buck), money was raised to turn the land into a park.


   At any rate, this hiker noticed the unmistakable smell of something dead and, upon investigating further, found a tent in the underbrush with a dead body inside. The police determined that she was a woman at least 55 years old and had been dead around five months. This was July, 2019. 

  This may sound like a relatively routine police case, except that almost five months to the day earlier, a Youtube video got posted which seemed to throw a different aspect on the case. A group of four Millennial idiots who host a really stupid monetized channel with over 5 million subscribers decided to film a night-time trek through the Enchanted Forest, hoping to document alleged cult activity going on there. I'm posting the link to their video, with the caveat that it is excruciatingly painful---on many different levels---to watch. If I had sons like any of these guys, I'd seriously contemplate suicide: it's that bad. 

  So these four fellows had gone only a short distance down the trail when they heard a woman crying out for help. And they did what any average American man would do these days: they turned tail and ran. Even though they made sure they had the cameras rolling for good content, it didn't even dawn on them to call the police. 


   Eventually, when they felt it safe to return, they slinked back and found some of what women call 'accessories' strewn about; and I might add here that they were of the type a woman approaching her golden years would have worn as opposed to a school-age girl (the woman found dead in the tent was 68 years old). And it's notable also that the Coroner's Report listed the cause of death as what we non-medical people refer to as a heart attack; something that easily could have been brought on by a group of attackers in a woman of that age with those pre-existing conditions. In other words, the poltroonery of these four men very well might have allowed a fatality which could have been prevented. 

  All of this would have been bad enough, but the producers of this video didn't even have enough shame not to post it. It's gotten over 8 million views since 2019 and controversy around it still goes on. As far as I know, the producers have never issued an apology or expressed remorse in any way to the woman's family; or even acknowledged her existence. 

  We hear a lot about toxic masculinity these days, but this is a specimen of what vastated Manhood really looks like. In the village I grew up in, these guys would have been run out of town for something like this. Granted, they may have staged the video and just coincidentally a corpse was found in the area later on that matched the circumstances they portrayed. It's possible---we don't know all the facts. But it doesn't the fact that their conduct---real or staged---was a disgrace to men everywhere. There were four of them who could have intervened, but chose instead not to get involved and save their own skins. And why call the police when you can get exclusive footage of someone dying and cash in on it? 

  Masculinity is not toxic because there's anything inherently wrong with men; it's been poisoned and made toxic by dysfunctional families, corrupt schools, a degenerate media, and a venal Government-Corporate Complex. We've managed to raise a generation of boys who seem to have lost the instinct to preserve and protect. In fact, the last 18 months or so seem to indicate that they've lost their instinct for self-defense as well. There's a very good chance that we won't recover anytime soon.

  The majority of comments on these videos bear this out. Most are indifferent to what went on; some were critical but outnumbered by these schmucks' defenders. The linked video was 'liked' 244,000 to 3,000. 

"People use girls screams to lure innocent people in and kill them. If they all went over to check what was happening they could've gotten killed!"

"The amount of people who think they should bring a weapon to protect themselves."👇

"They could’ve also put themselves in danger I mean, they did. Even if they would’ve went and helped her they would’ve gotten killed themselves."

"Why hate on someone for that? i would've been scared out of my mind and would've ran for my life too."

"If you would call 911 you would just get more attention pulled towards you then the Satan people would be mad at you and start trying to kill you too!"

"Why would someone hate on them for leaving? They were chased by a freaking killer cult! I would leave too!"

"You must be a Trump supporter or something. You can tell the screaming was a prank or was to lure them in because no killer would let their victim scream. So when you call the police all they're gonna find is nothing. Again you'll be wasting their time."

There we have it: the Ameroboob in all his glory. Not a thought about a fellow-human being in trouble. It's all "what's in it for me?" "I got mine, that's their tough luck!" "Blow your ideals, the thing to do is survive!" such is the spirit of the New America. That's why the Great Reset scum are running the table right now. Americans don't care if the Elites take the whole pie just as long as I get my slice!

Our culture has failed our men; and failed them radically. Some tried to warn that we were headed in this direction. Now we're here. We need real men and we don't have them.

THE NEW WAVE OF TERROR

    It's difficult to imagine that only two Summers ago, America was on track to being Made Great Again. The economy was moving faster than it had in over 20 years; jobs were coming back from foreign outsourcing. We were on track to Energy Independence again by 2025. Bureaucratic overreach was being scaled back; the Opioid Crisis was being reversed; gangs broken up, the Government investing in infrastructure, research and development again. Americans could put up religious displays again without fear of persecution---we were generally looking forward to 2020 and second Trump term tackling school choice, expanding infrastructure reform, and curbing price inflation.

   Then one day, a bunch of assholes showed up with a blueprint to 'reset' us back to Deep State times. Playing off of Americans' love for LARPing and Real-Time Soap Operas, they turned a Chinese lab leak into a national meltdown and employed it as cover for a Color Revolution. As usual, Americans acted first, and thought later; throwing all the gains of the previous three years away and many of our remaining Civil Liberties along with them. Along the way, a few of the realists even saw a golden opportunity to cash in on the panic, and some small fortunes were made. The Elites couldn't take our freedoms fast enough to keep up with the hysteria; and so when they finally overthrew the Government, they have been trying to catch up with the public ever since. 

   Today, following some recent threats from the degenerate Dr. Fauci, the Regime's Ministry of Health announced new orders 'recommendations' to bring back the Mandatory Mask. And right on cue, the Corporate Media suddenly produced a flurry of articles with the usual COVID hysteria; a 'surge' and 'record numbers of cases' being the most common propaganda-points I'm seeing in the news feed. 

   The Ameroboobs of course are already buying into it wholesale---just like they do any 'emergency' that feeds into their hunger for drama. I doubt there will be any resistance this time---probably even more compliance. The American male has sunk to the level where the State could probably order him to wear a mask but stop wearing pants; and tomorrow we'd see 4/5 of our men in public in just their underwear. 

   Unsurprisingly, the 'surge' is supposedly happening in predominantly Conservative regions. Like last Summer, when the 'pandemic' suddenly went dormant wherever Antifa and BLM were rioting, it's now supposedly come back hardest among populations of those who doubt the vaccine. The transparency behind this latest fraud ought to be obvious. The Junta's masters in Big Pharma and the Insurance Cartels are below their vax-quotas to turn an acceptable profit-margin, so they're bringing back the hated Mask to put public pressure on the 'Unvaccinated'. Instead of turning against an illegitimate 'government' as he should; the Ameroboob can always be counted on to turn against his neighbor. 

  As proof of this, just note the number of public venues voluntarily requiring Vax Passports. Small businesses: the supposed backbone of America's economy, have been leading the charge here. These are the same venues which the Revolutionaries callously locked down and turned violent thugs against just a year ago; but where money is concerned, the American of today isn't going to let a little thing like that stand between him and his bottom line. 

  Expect in the coming months an all-out pogrom against the 'Unvaccinated'. We're about to be turned into an object of public hate like Soviet Kulaks or German Jews were in the 1930s. The Regime already initiated the program of creating a quasi-Secret Police agency: The Vaccine Strike Force, empowered to ignore your privacy and property rights to offer you the chance of joining up or being put on a blacklist. The Vax, like the Mask, is a symbol of submission. 

  And don't make the mistake of believing that all of this will go away in some electoral 'Red Wave'. Just remember that what the Regime is doing now with compulsory masks and vaxes was made possible by those 'Conservatives' who exploited previous 'crises' to mandate things like drug tests, national age-limits, and sobriety checkpoints. 


     We have to start facing the reality that it's not just our national leaders, but our national character that is corrupt. If there really was a 'Silent Majority' it never would have let things deteriorate to this point. What we have to do is begin unifying within our own communities and breaking our dependence on the Beltway at the personal and communal levels as much as possible. And please don't succumb to any of this stupid 'Red Pill' advice about going with the flow and being an army of one. Interdependence with those whom we trust is going to be more important now than ever before.

DREAMS OF THE OLD KALE-YARD

     It's been awhile since we've had a food-related post, other than covering some of the food shortages and the Elites' schemes for controlling our diets. Right now, however, we're about mid-way through White Boy Summer and more cookouts and clambakes than usual are going on. Admittedly, we do reach a certain age though, when things like surfing and beach-volleyball are best left to those who don't take quite as long to recover from that kind of strenuous recreation; and so our experience is best employed manning the grills, bonfires, etc. 😉


   One other fellow of middle-age was discussing his campaign this Summer to lose weight and get in shape (something that hanging around with younger guys often brings to mind). He was describing a type of nutritional drink he made, but complained that he disliked the taste of kale. I frankly asked why he ate that stuff and set him to thinking. 

  Americans have, for some reason, adopted similar attitudes towards food as their dysfunctional attitudes towards sex. Eating anything that is actually good is considered unhealthy, or dangerous; while consuming things that our ancestors long ago gave up on is virtuous somehow. Kale is a good example. Even though vegetables which are actually edible are sufficient to keep one in good health, it's somehow not trendy to eat them anymore. Kale itself is a European weed that poor people once ate when they couldn't afford better vegetables, or was gathered during wartime shortages. Some farms in the old country kept 'kale-yards' where they cultivated it to feed their goats. 

  Marketing pros in this country saw an opportunity to capitalize on the gullibility of American consumers and promoted the product. We've become conditioned to believe that anything that peasants or primitive peoples eat must be healthier and more noble that civilized diets. The fact that developed countries have life expectancies 20-30 years longer than those cultures doesn't seem to occur to them. Madison Avenue has a long history of doing this, even touting 'miracle foods' which are common with only the name changed. I recall a few years ago, the new wonder-grain was Kasha. Kasha is simply the Yiddish word for buckwheat. 

  All of this supposed health-consciousness hasn't a lot of results to show for it. Americans are said to be the greatest consumers of these products, and yet we're the world leaders in morbid obesity, declining fertility and birth rates, and the most over-medicated society on the planet. Unfortunately, to most Americans, reality contradicted by expert opinion doesn't count for very much. The same people who protest that a McDonald's hamburger contains nothing but meat by-products think that synthetic meats and vegetable proteins are healthier than real red meats. And we should also note that in spite of our dietary superiority, we are the world's largest consumers of vitamin supplements. 

   I suppose this level of ignorance isn't surprising in a culture which holds as settled science that gender is determined by feelings; that bad weather is caused by internal combustion engines; that marijuana is safer than tobacco; that wearing masks prevent pandemics, etc. Americans are no less ignorant when it comes to food. 

  Most of this ignorance has to do with bad parenting and faulty education. Americans today---while they stand as wholly supportive of parental rights---prefer that parental responsibility be assumed by the Government. Schools used to pick up some of the task by offering courses in Health Sciences and Home Economics; but the latter is gone and the former is run by agenda-driven ideologues. What we've produced is a population of fat, frigid females and low-T, passive-aggressive males who don't know that cheese is produced from milk but have hubris enough to believe that they are qualified to manage a national food supply. The most ridiculous example of that was in last Summer's short-lived Chaz Republic in Seattle, when the Revolutionaries addressed their new country's food supply issue by seizing a vacant lot and planting Swiss Chard there.


    Granted, there are many of us like my friend mentioned above who simply get taken in by the slick marketing and junk science. Those things are so pervasive today that we can't help but fall prey to it on occasion. In the interests of full disclosure, I once decided as part of a 'buy local' campaign to consume only local microbrews and wines. Those concoctions were so bad that today I can't drink wine at all and prefer Root Beer to anything resembling the Golden Ale. The wines were almost as bad as the Vinegar Switchels that certain elders used to drink back in the day because they thought that promoted health. BTW, I've recently seen switchels popping up in health-food stores, although under different aliases. 

   The best way to maintain a healthy diet is to eat balanced meals with about as many calories as you use in a normal day. To lose weight, exercise more and eat less calories. Stop listening to the fake 'experts' and above all, don't assume that everything that tastes bad is good for you or vice-versa. Listen to your body because that will tell you what you need far more reliably than some media blowhard who's been hired by Big Ag. Common sense tells you that eating should be a pleasurable---not a guilty---experience.

WHY OUR SIDE IS LOSING

      Earlier in the week, the Regime handed down its first prison sentence in the political show-trials of the January 6th Insurrection---a name that has a distinctively Communist ring to it. What these alleged 'domestic terrorists' actually did, of course, was less than Leftist kooks did during the Kavanaugh Confirmation Hearings. And, in less 'woke' times, a march on the Capitol might be considered an understandable reaction to a putsch where a group simply declared itself winners of an election and seized power. But those were the days when American men still had self-respect, a love of freedom, and functional Testosterone levels; today, not so much. 

    In the past 8 months, the Conservative faction in American politics has done about this what it usually does: sit on the sidelines and do nothing while the Left tramples Human Rights into the ground. Yes, there has been a lot of talking---not though to the people who could actually do anything about it. I mean, a delegation of Republican Congressmen and Senators could meet with the Junta and try to secure their release. They could hold down critical legislation until the issue is addressed. They could even demand that the Supreme Court intervene: in fact, governors of States where these prisoners reside could do the same thing. Another thing they could do---which might even get some bipartisan support---is to repeal the Patriot Act and other Bush Administration laws that made things like charging Americans as domestic terrorists or enemy combatants and restricting due process for those so accused possible. 

    Yes, the Party of Principle, the Defenders of the Constitution, could do those things and maybe even have other options which their crack legal teams could devise. But they prefer instead to fight the good fight on social media. 


   One of those online bastions of Conservative thought had an article this morning about the newest standout females stepping in and taking charge: Marjorie Taylor Greene. (We should point out for non-American readers that, while Conservatives talk about traditional gender roles, the same Oedipal Complexes and Sexual Masochism so prevalent among our male population today afflicts the political Right as much as the Left. Males of both sides really prefer submission to a powerful mother-figure over the hard work and integrity it took to be an old-fashioned Statesman).

   At any rate, the Congresswoman seemed less bothered by the treatment of American citizens than by the fact that the Junta is disproportionately targeting people on the political Right.

   "8 months in prison for walking in the Capitol & taking a selfie in the senate? Did he assault anyone, steal anything, or cause damage to the Capitol? BLM rioters were let off their charges in NY & other states. During covid lockdowns, CA let murderers & rapists out of jail."

   What do the cases of the BLM in New York or prison releases in California have to do with the January 6th case? Nothing. Is she arguing that 8 months would have been acceptable if others got longer sentences? Anyway, she goes on:

   "The stories coming out seem to be political targeting designed for intimidation. Has there been an investigation into the BLM rioters who were bailed out from Kamala & Ilhan sharing the Minnesota Freedom Fund bail bond fundraising links? And their friends, family, & followers?"

   Well, no kidding! This is how Revolutionaries behave, in case nobody's noticed. This is a great example of why nobody takes Conservatives seriously. We have a massive Human Rights violation ongoing and the best that our leadership can come up with is "your side riots too and doesn't get punished." 

   The bottom line here is that American citizens should not be getting thrown into dungeons, held indefinitely without bail or charges, subject to torture and brutal prison conditions regardless of what they are accused of doing. This entire case probably violates at least a dozen Constitutional provisions and Amendments, and that should be the issue. 

   

    Our Founding Fathers came out of a political system where these kinds of 'legal proceedings' were normative. Being accused of a crime was considered something like a personal insult to their Royal Majesties and treated accordingly. This January 6th Case is of the same stripe: the Elites, their toadies in the Media, and their hired judges and prosecutors are all simply butthurt because a few people thumbed their noses at their authority and now they want revenge: to make examples of them. 

   Dinesh D'Souza, another renown Conservative thinker chimed in on the discussion: “The sentencing of Paul Hodgkins is a window into the face of American injustice. The problem isn’t just the Biden DOJ; it’s also Obama appointed judges willing to destroy the lives of working-class people solely for being Trump supporters." It happens awkwardly enough for D'Souza, however, that so far the only person charged in connection with January 6th was released from custody on bail by an Obama-appointed judge.

  None of this was even legal in the United States until October of 2001. Actually I suspect that this is a major reason for such a milquetoast reaction from the Right: they would have to own up to the fact that Senate RINOs under Clinton and an entirely Republican Administration under Bush set every legal precedent for nearly all of the crimes that the Junta has gotten away with and more that they tend to commit. 

   These injustices aren't going to go away because the Right puts its heads in the sand; and public support for the Right is going to keep dwindling until they stand up and face the facts. The Republicans have to admit responsibility and take action to correct their mistakes because their obfuscations aren't fooling anybody. Something else that Republican leaders may wish to consider is that once the Regime has finished sacrificing the January 6th 'rioters', it's unlikely that their bloodlust is going to be satisfied; they'll soon be seeking other Right-Wing extremists to hunt down.

TEACHING CRITICAL RACE THEORY

      So tonight will perusing a few online articles, I across the usual fare among 'Conservative' authors of some reputation with their typical refrain. "Oh, dear. Look what that awful Biden is doing to America. Goodness me. If we don't turn things around soon {i.e., by voting in Republicans like Bruce Jenner and Tim Scott} we could soon devolve into tyranny!" 

      We actually are devolving into tyranny; that isn't my issue with articles like these. My issue is with their solution. Assuming that there are even going to be elections in 2022/24, let's look back from the time President Reagan left office in 1989 until today. That's 32 years---almost one 'generation' by standard reckoning. 

      Republican Presidents: 16 years (50% of the time)

      Republican Congresses 20 years (62.5% of the time).

      7 of 9 current Supreme Court Justices appointed by Republicans (78%) Republican-appointed Chief Justices have held the position for the entire 32 years. 

     In 32 years, what do we have to show for this? Take any issue that Conservatives support: property rights, privacy rights, school choice, strengthening family and community, smaller government, pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment, medical choice; name one of these that's gotten better because Republicans were in office. Yes, Trump accomplished a lot---by Executive Order. He couldn't get Obamacare repealed, end Federal abortion funding, or Infrastructure Bills passed through a Congress controlled by his own party. The Junta has since nullified most of Trump's Executive Orders. Trump, incidentally, did revoke some previous EO's: something Bush never bothered to do for 8 years. 

   One of these articles had to do with the latest hot-button topic on the Right: Critical Race Theory. The author of this piece gave a hypothetical scenario (as if he couldn't find a real one) about a parent going to a public school where his daughter (it certainly couldn't be a son in this story) was in trouble with the Bureaucracy for alleged 'hate speech.' He writes:

  "Far-fetched? Sadly, no. Much of this is already happening to one degree or another. Look at all these schools that conduct something called a “Privilege Walk.” This involves all students lining up and then taking steps forward or backward based on supposed privileges they have or are denied. These always include whiteness as a privilege. This divisive, racist event tells white kids that they did not earn their achievements and black kids that they were unfairly denied theirs.

   "This is all based on supposed systemic racism, which is the invention of the critical race theory (CRT) so much under discussion recently. Things like the Privilege Walk and antiracism training use the concept of systemic racism to call for changes to our systems that they now demand produce equity, i.e. equality of outcome. But that ignores the fatal flaw of CRT: it takes any disparate outcome for blacks and attributes it to systemic racism and eliminates any other possibilities for the difference."

   The main flaw with this statement isn't that it is untrue; it certainly is happening in our nation's public schools. The problem is that we could similar articles written by David Horowitz, Walter Williams, William Bennett, Thomas Sowell, William F. Buckley, and even Rush Limbaugh---like 25-30 years ago. I can recall reading about 'Privilege Walks' back in the 1990s. 

   When the Clinton Co-Presidency came to power in 1993, Hillary put her good friend Donna Shalala in charge of purging reforming public education. Clinton's Educational Policy Advisor was Johnnetta Cole---a Communist who'd actually been registered by the FBI as a foreign agent of the Cuban Government---and they all soon went to work radicalizing our school system. Variations of CRT started appearing back then. 

  This is one reason why I have no patience with Conservatives today who are squealing that "Whaaaaa! They're imposing Critical Race Theory! We could lose a generation of kids to these radicals! Whaaaaa!" The fact is that we've already lost one (the Millennials); we're about to lose another (Gen Z); and are on a trajectory to lose a third once today's toddlers start reaching Kindergarten age. And as far as I know to the contrary---despite 'school choice' and 'parental rights' being a Conservative position---nothing whatsoever has been done at the Federal level to rein in our out-of-control public schools since the mid-1980s. 

  The same author in the above piece had, in his hypothetical example, a futurist School Diversity Enforcement Officer. Every major public school district, college, and university has had positions like these for 20 years, at least. 

   


     


     


    Now tell us all again that Conservatives didn't know there was a problem, and that all of this radicalization just started with Biden. It's like all of this outcry about Drag Queen Story Hour. They have been going on since 2015. That's six years that Conservatives have had to do something about it; and they've done nothing. 

   I'm sorry if this sounds harsh; but if Conservative parents are complaining that their kids have grown into woke Leftist semi-adults, I have no sympathy for them. Homeschooling is legal in all 50 States, and only about 3% of the population were doing it before the school lockdowns. Conservative alumni keep dumping cash into universities that they know fully well are corrupt PC hell-holes. In fact, at most local PTA and School Board meetings the ones opposing garbage like CRT and Drag Queen Story Hours aren't even parents anymore: they're typically there because they're concerned about their grandchildren. 

   The point here is that if Conservative parents don't care enough to take responsibility for their offsprings' education, then there's really no purpose in debating or discussing whatever nonsense they're being taught. They know that homeschooling is better; they know that there are alternatives to public education; they know that public schools at all levels are controlled by criminals, perverts, and Left-Wing fanatics, and yet they continue sending their children there. Agreed: Critical Race Theory is absurd and Drag Queen Story Hour is just sick. But if you willingly put your children into the hands of these monsters, then the consequences are your own fault. 

   If Conservatives are so concerned with what our kids are being indoctrinated with taught; then they need to put away the drugs and spend at least as much time actually interacting with and teaching their kids as they do cucking their spouses on hook-up sites. They need to spend more time thinking about what kinds of people their universities are granting doctoral degrees to than which of the 50 or so bowls the football team might go to next year. In other words, do something instead of spouting fake outrage. The only thing most kids are learning in Conservative homes is what a bunch of hypocrites, poseurs, and parasites the Right is made up of---and that is driving them into 'woke' Leftism even faster than the schools are doing.

CONSPIRACY THEORY PART V

      When most people think of government propaganda, they tend to think of the ridiculous PSA's played on radio stations. In reality, as we have seen, Propaganda in the United States today is managed by experts whose full-time occupation is the control and management of the human mind. The people who employ these managers are mostly megalomaniacs and atheistic and who laugh in their sleeves at the idea of free will. 

     Jean-Marie Domenach, to whose scholarship we've referred several times, points out that free countries have a definite disadvantage in protecting the public since the concept of Propaganda is essentially freedom of speech. Besides, many of the techniques that propagandists employ are also employed in honest industries like advertising, political campaigns, and public relations. It's our responsibility to analyse malignant propaganda with the same skepticism we'd view advertisers, politicians, and PR people. In the World War eras, the U.S. government experimented with Propaganda. In WW1, the effect of propaganda in raising support for the war led to laws preventing government-produced propaganda from being used domestically. 

    In 1934, fears of corporate consolidation controlling the press led President Roosevelt to sign the Telecommunications Act of 1934 which---while it didn't silence enemy propaganda---ensured competition among media outlets. The Voorhis Anti-Propaganda Act of 1940 blocked foreign regimes (like today's WEF) from operating American broadcast networks. The effects of mass-propaganda in totalitarian regimes was made manifest in WW2. The Truman Administration enacted the Fairness Doctrine in 1947 to help insure that the interests of Corporate sponsors didn't dominate televised content. In 1948, the Smith-Mundt Act prohibited government from operating news networks on domestic audiences. The Deep State has since repealed all of them, with a compromised Republican Party supporting all removals (which were signed into law by Democrats Clinton and Obama). 

   Project Veritas recently produced a segment with a CNN producer admitting to peddling fear and explaining that they have been ordered to push the 'climate change' hoax. Just a few hours ago, I happened across a segment on Yahoo News with some doofus who'd just produced a scientific study on heat waves. This person seriously argued that heat waves are more severe in minority-populated sections of major cities than in predominantly White neighborhoods, and of course 'climate change' was the reason, along with 'systemic racism.' What they are confidently expounding is scientifically impossible, but the whole presentation was another good illustration of propaganda in action. In this case, both the Climate Change and Smart Cities agendas were the 'Base Doctrine' being promoted. 

   One of the most disturbing trends in Organized Propaganda campaigns began about a decade ago---that it is that the 'narratives' being promoted are becoming increasingly irrational. Doctrines such the utter nonsense that gender has no relationship to Biology or Psychology; that COVID-19 wiped out millions of Americans though we've never seen mass-graves or any photographic evidence; that untested vaccines and cloth masks are imperative to save us from a disease with a 99% survival rate; that Climate Change is part of a racist plot to oppress minorities; that a thug who ingested enough Fentanyl to kill a herd of buffalo was murdered by being pinned to the ground with a standard self-defense maneuver---one absurdity on top of another. Along with this has been an increasing level of self-contradiction. The Propagandists told us in early 2020 that police officers were among the frontline heroes fighting the Scamdemic---90 days later, they were portrayed as bands of racist death-squads and cities purged them. They told us in October 2020 that the Trump Administration had stolen the 2016 Election and was preparing to exploit our deeply flawed Electoral process to hold power. Only a few weeks later the narrative became that our system was unquestionably free from any possibility of manipulation. 

   This change is not an accident, but part of an intentional campaign as well. It's having a terrible psychological effect especially on younger Americans. The purpose of this evil program goes beyond simple influencing: it is designed to sow confusion and make people question their own judgement and observations. This serves the Elites' purposes by obliquely establishing a cult of 'experts' who can tell us what do in any given circumstance. 


     Jean Cazeneuve, a prominent French media executive and scholar of the last century, stated that the ultimate goal of any propaganda campaign is "to impose the symbol as evidence." We have to keep their goal in mind. As we've stated before, Faith and Reason are the Propagandists' worst enemies. We spoke in previous articles of how their planners prepare Counter-Propaganda. These are scenarios of theoretical arguments that opponents of the propagandistic message would bring against it. By their own admission, even these would-be omnipotent Elites cannot devise a message capable of breaking either of those two barriers. They usually respond to Faith with ridicule and to Reason by evasion. In the end, the Elites generally deal with both by force. 

   Although the Elites have nothing but contempt for Christianity, many of their propagandists also admit to being impressed (from a technical standpoint) of the power of the Cross as a popular symbol. But since the Elites and their hirelings are spiritually vastated individuals, the true and deeper significance of the Cross is lost on them and they regard it as Counter-Propaganda. As we can see by simple observation, the current Propaganda campaigns are designed to turn the Cross into a symbol of hate, ignorance, bigotry, and division. Simultaneously, the Propagandists have been rehabilitating the symbology of Satan; turning the very adversary of the Cross into something chic and glamorous, or as a misunderstood victim who really has the best interest of humanity at heart. 


     The Propagandists deal with Human Reason and Empirical Science mostly by distraction and always carefully avoiding debate with anyone except controlled opposition. They've lately begun simply dismissing these thinkers besides. Medical or Psychological literature which contradicts the current gender/sexual narratives are brushed off as "outdated ideas," as is any other solid evidence or rational conclusions. 

    The human race is not far removed---either culturally or historically---from times of book-burnings and other attacks on intellectuals. Academia, Inc. long ago began purging intellectuals and since the Revolution have begun purging the libraries of any material contradicting official ideology. Corporate America has been effacing its own traditional symbols. Historical monuments have been torn down. The Tech Lords have been engaging in suppression and deletion of content. We're not far from wholesale scrubbing of the Internet and burning books again; and likely most of us who produce these materials will be fortunate indeed to escape the fate of our productions. 

    As part and parcel of the Counter-Propaganda, the Regime has allowed (for now) dangerous extremist cults which they can tie to 'the Right' and use to discredit them. The worst of these is the loose confederation of 'Red-Pilled' wingnuts who are really not Conservative at all, but mostly reactionary Leftists who totally accept the idea of an 'Elite' who should be ruling the world. They just don't like the current Elites and think that they should be them.


   Traditional men are alienated and demonized in our culture---even more so since the Government was overthrown---and it's bound to be getting worse for us. Grifters and parasites like the ones pictured above offer men struggling for meaning and significance a movement with promises that men can become valuable again. That is what they offer: what they actually deliver is even further social alienation; deluding men into believing themselves 'superior' to other men; and ripping off their followers in cult-like fashion. During the Trump Administration they were a continual source of cannon-fodder for Left-Wing propaganda by feeding into their negative stereotyping of Conservatives, Christians, and White Males in general. 

   Don't be duped into "taking the Red Pill" as an antidote to the Color Revolution. It's true that the Revolution is openly anti-White and anti-Male, but white men (and women) along with all men (of whatever race) need to be pulling together right now and standing up as Americans; not a bunch of men going their own ways, or aspiring to be Alphas and Sigmas lording it over Beta chumps. That is no different than what the leaders of the Great Reset want to do: isolate us, divide us by gender and race, and set themselves up as supermen pushing around their inferiors. 

   We can beat the Enemy's propaganda machine, but to do so we must be informed, unwavering in our commitment, and ready to work at the community level. Don't be afraid to question the Regime's propaganda. Knowing how it works is the surest way to disable its effectiveness.
