A day after US commandoes were driven from Syrian soil under a hail of stones and bottles from the residents of Al-Rai, the humiliated Pentagon launched a coordinated airstrike on Syrian Army positions near Deir Ezzur this morning. 80 Syrian soldiers were killed and 100 wounded. ISIS forces counterattacked the Syrian position---the outcome of the battle is still undecided.
The Allies have called for an Emergency Meeting of the UN Security Council following the unprovoked attack. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated that the Pentagon attacked without warning. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated: "If we had suspicions previously that Al-Nusra {aka Al-Qaeda} was being protected in this way, after today's airstrikes on the Syrian Army, we must come to the terrifying conclusion before the entire world: that the White House is defending ISIS."
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem, following an emergency meeting with President Assad, stated: "This cowardly US aggression is incontrovertible proof that the US and its confederates support ISIS and other armed terrorist groups. Syria demands that the UN Security Council condemn this aggression and force the United States never to repeat it and to respect Syrian sovereignty and unity."
The Obama have confirmed, through this action, what many have long believed: the obsession this Administration has with overthrowing the legitimate Syrian government has reached the stage of psychotic mania. That they have protected and enabled ISIS and other gangs of Wahhabi thugs to carry out their crimes has been transparently obvious for years now; and today's massacre confirms this.
General Joseph Votel, the Pentagon's commandant in the region confirmed that US F-16 and A-10 fighters carried out the mission. Votel, whose incompetence has led to a series of blunders and humiliations in the Middle East, claims that the airstrike was unintentional, and that Russia was notified---a claim Russia denies. Syrian sources report seeing US drones and reconnaissance aircraft around Deir Ezzur for days leading up to the attack.
The LGBTQ-friendly Pentagon issued a rather laconic statement to the press: "We are aware of the situation and are checking with CENTCOM," the statement read, "Syria is a very complex situation with various forces fighting in close proximity, but we would never intentionally target Syrian forces, We are reviewing the situation to see if any lessons can be learned."
There should be no doubt that this was no accident. This incident follows exactly the same pattern of provocation that Obama has engaged in globally. Every 'peace deal' is followed---without exception---by immediate violations by Obama. This not only true of Syria. It has happened in Ukraine, Turkey, the South China Sea, the Korean Peninsula, Libya, Northern Mexico, Brazil, and the Persian Gulf. Treachery of this sort is second nature to this Administration---even in domestic politics as we've seen in the DNC scandals and elsewhere.
What the outcome of this new crisis will be is impossible to predict. But it is the first time since Libya that Obama has intentionally killed foreign troops on their native soil with no declaration of war. Civilian deaths, he is also responsible for.
Now, it's up to the Allies to respond.
For those who don't know, today is Independence Day in America's neighbor to the South. In this hellish election cycle, it has become almost an act of political correctness to bash both Mexico and American Hispanics. Things weren't always like this in the US, however. After the 1846-1848 war established the border between our two countries, Spanish-influenced culture contributed heavily to America's cultural evolution, particularly in California and the American Southwest.
In popular media culture, we have Hispanics to thank for introducing one of America's most popular motifs: the anonymous hero operating outside the law fighting untouchable criminal elements. In old California and the Southwest, there were many legendary heroes of this type: Joaquin Murrieta, Elfredo Baca, and the Cisco Kid among others. The tradition is still strong even in Mexico with masked heroes like El Santo in Mexican cinema.
The most famous of all of these Latin-influenced heroes was one of the most popular American cultural icons of the 20th Century and this weekend's entertainment recommendation: Zorro.
Zorro, the Spanish word for fox, was an epic television series produced by Disney Studios and aired from 1957-1959 on ABC. The original legend existed for some time in the area around Los Angeles and was said to have happened in the early 19th Century. In the author named Johnston McCulley wrote a series of popular novels about the Zorro legend, which in turn spawned several very popular films, culminating in the Disney production.
Zorro is the alter-ego of Don Diego de la Vega, dashing son of wealthy landowner Don Alejandro, who sends his son to Spain to further his education. There, Don Diego becomes a master horseman and fencing champion. His father calls him back to California because the province has been put under a repressive martial law. Don Diego, with his servant Bernardo, conceive a plan by which Don Diego will pose as an effete dandy with no interest in politics. But at night, he becomes the masked, black-clad rider, El Zorro---fighting for freedom and justice.
In the 1950s, Disney Studios hit upon one of the most innovative production strategies ever. They took a theme of American historical interest and dramatized it into a type of program that was both educational for children and entertaining for adults. In programs like Zorro, there occasional scenes obviously geared to a younger audience, but combined with serious plots and considerable action which appeal to adults. Walt Disney termed this family entertainment. It was designed to bring moral and historical issues into young minds while at the same time being able to hold adult attention to the story. Sadly, Disney no longer offers this kind of quality---nor does any of the rest of the American media.
Most of us today, thus, somewhat look askance at Disney dramas. Those of a certain age remember these programs as children, and tend to equate Disney with juvenile programming. Younger people---disgusted by what Disney has degenerated into more recently---have a natural revulsion towards the very name. It must be remembered, though, that Disney dramatic series were once aired in prime-time on major networks.
Like many of Disney's dramatic series, Zorro was essentially serialized, with one episode connected to another. We can actually watch the character transform from a mysterious figure to a legendary hero throughout the entire series. In fact, Zorro has a lot to teach us about heroism. Don Diego learns in the process of this transform why people need heroes. In one episode, where Don Alejandro learns that his son is really Zorro, he tells him "The people need Zorro. They need someone to believe in, someone to have faith in, and that would be broken if they knew he was simply one of them."
The producers of the past understood psychology much better than we do in our Postmodern dystopia where an effete cynicism rejects the idea of heroes or heroism---or at least bestows the title on the undeserving. What our forefathers understood was that a culture needs heroes because heroes represent a moral ideal. The connection between heroism and religious faith is so strong that, in pre-Christian eras, heroes were often deified. In Christian times, a heroic figure is seen as someone God sends to aid the suffering. In both cases, they maintain a sanctified image in the popular mind. In our day, when leaders call Bruce Jenner a hero, we see how the entire concept of heroism has been degraded.
That is the one of worst social crimes that the Cultural Marxists in Media and Academia have committed---depriving Americans of our heroic and legendary figures. A nation without heroes is a nation without ideals; and we see the results of that very evidently played out in Postmodern Culture. As a Hispanic hero, Zorro shows that the ideals which America once stood for are not limited by ethnic origin.
Since the series is serialized, Zorro is best watched on DVD. It is a high-quality production with lots of action and---for those with families---can be enjoyed by everyone.
As if we needed further proof that the once-great Democratic Party has turned into an organized crime syndicate, DNC acting chairwoman and Clinton apparatchik Donna Brazille released this statement on Wednesday:
"The DNC is the victim of a crime---an illegal cyber-attack by Russian state-sponsored agents who seek to harm the Democratic Party and Progressive groups in an effort to influence the presidential election. We would urge anyone attempting to access these documents proceed with extreme caution due to the potential malware risks."
Malware, indeed. The newest batch of leaked DNC documents contain the lists of top fundraisers for the Obama Campaign during the last election cycle. That might not seem like a major revelation---until it becomes noticeable that many of these fundraisers ended up with jobs in the Obama Administration. Almost all of them were appointed ambassadors, via the State Department. And who was Obama's Secretary of State then? Yes, it was Hilary Clinton.
As of November 2008, here are the future ambassadors, with their rank as donors:
1. Matthew Barzun. The top donor was ambassador first to the UK then to Sweden. He was Clinton's point-man in going after Julian Assange.
7. Charlie Rivkin. Ambassador to France, then Assistant Secretary of State.
8. Kirk Wager, Ambassador to Singapore, appointed late in Clinton's term. The 'Fat Leonard' Scandal occurred during his tenure.
Other donors who contributed more than $900,000 include the future ambassadors to Japan, the Bahamas, Switzerland, South Africa, Belgium, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Czech Republic, Finland, Trinidad, and Austria plus two replacements for Belgium and Luxembourg. One other went to the UN; another was ambassador to the EU, and two others in the $600,000+ category were appointed to UNESCO.
Julius Genachowski, the #2 donor a corporate lawyer mostly representing the media, was appointed FCC Chairman from 2009-2013. He's since gone to work in Wall Street with the Carlyle Group.
Richard M. Lobo, whose wife donated $715,000 was nominated to head the International Broadcasting Bureau. He was a former executive with PBS and NBC.
Though he didn't work for the government, Corporate Media was also represented at #4 by Jeffrey Katzenberg, formerly of Disney and a major Hollywood executive. As was Stanley Grinstein of Gemini GEL at #6. Katzenberg got quite a few favorable trade deals during Obama's tenure---including a major sale to Comcast and special trade deal with China.
Frank Sanchez, at #3, was appointed Undersecretary of Commerce for International Trade until 2013. Sanchez formerly served in the Clinton Cabinet. In 2014, he became CEO of CNS Global Advisors---a Wall Street consulting firm---and was elected to the board of Agribusiness giant, ADM. Robert Roche, whose $1.06 million only reached the #41 spot, went to Obama's Advisory Committee for Trade Policy. Roche has since opened up some private ventures in China; as did Katzenberg.
Tony West, at #43, is currently an executive with PepsiCo, another agribusiness cartel. West was appointed Deputy Attorney General from 2012-2014, and is best known for paving the legal way for homosexual 'marriage.'
So it appears that Obama and Clinton were good about rewarding their friends. It's somewhat ironic considering that Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was indicted, impeached, and currently in federal prison for doing essentially the same thing filling Obama's vacant Senate seat. But Blagojevich---a congressman in the 1990s---was also famous for opposing the Clinton Administration's activities in the former Yugoslavia. The Clintons never forget their enemies, either.
At the end of 8 years, we can safely say: so much for hope and change. Unfortunately, we can also safely say that there is little hope of change any time in the near future.
The Corporate Media has been carrying on all day about an arson committed against a mosque in Florida. There was some notoriety about the incident---both because it happened coincidental to the 9/11 anniversary and the start of an Islamic holiday. The mosque itself has been under some scrutiny. One of its attendees, a supporter of ISIS, carried out the Pulse Nightclub Massacre earlier this year; while another---a member of Al-Qaeda---was killed in Syria in 2014.
On its website, the mosque itself condemns terrorism and violence, and it is known that both terrorists who attended it were known to each other. Their actual level of involvement in the mosque is the subject of some debate. As of this writing, however, there has never been documented evidence that its preached Jihad or are connected to the Wahhabi Cult. In July, some congregants were attacked and beaten outside of the mosque.
However, what is not in any doubt is the political sympathies of the arsonist. Joseph Schreiber---a character with an extensive criminal history---was apprehended yesterday. Schreiber confessed to the arson today, and, as it turns out, was a recent convert himself to Alt-Right ideology. He posted the following on a Facebook blog (edited for grammar):
"If America truly wants peace and safety and the pursuit of happiness they should consider all forms of Islam as radical. The truth is, there is no such thing as radical Islamic extremism. All Islam is radical and [Moslems] should be considered terrorists and criminals. And all who participate in such activities should be found guilty of war crimes until law and order are restored in this beautiful free country."
Now where would we suppose that an intellectual pygmy like Schreiber would have gotten such ideas? We would not have to look very far: talk-radio, media pundits, and internet bloggers say nearly the same things on a daily basis. Many on the Right have gone so far as to advocate censorship for what they consider their own brand of hate speech. But it is rather disingenuous of them to complain about Moslems radicalizing people with their words, when it's quite obvious they are doing the same thing.
Congressman Peter King today, for example, denounced football player Colin Kaepernick's protest against the National Anthem as sympathetic to ISIS. In part of an interview with Corporate Media outlet Newsmax, King argued that Kaepernick had no right to free speech and should be thrown out of the NFL. His proof that Kaepernick is a supporter of ISIS:
"I understand that Kaepernick has an Islamic girlfriend who is also his fiancée. That has changed him and he has taken on some radical political views along the way. This is activism that is sympathetic to ISIS."
This kind of bombast is exactly what incites fringe elements like Schreiber. Conservatives should be above this kind of rhetoric and denounce it for what it is. The Radical Left and Wahhabi extremists recruit people and incite by appealing to the worst in human nature. That is why those respective movements are characterized by their thuggery, fanaticism, and hatred. It is of no benefit to the Conservative cause to advocate speech codes or engage in this kind of demagoguery.
President Reagan used to say that "Conservativism is a big tent." We need Reagan's spirit to return to the movement, if we ever hope to really Make America Great Again.
One of the leaders of the dangerous Manosphere Game Cult who goes under the name of The Rational Male, published an article yesterday critical of medical advances extending female fertility. Now while we here firmly oppose Feminist so-called reproductive rights (i.e. abortion); as pro-family advocates we can only welcome scientific advances that will bring new life into the world.
Not so the Red Pills, however. The Rational Male takes umbrage with a new technology involving ovarian implants that would, in theory, cure female infertility---even if that infertility were caused by disease. He gives us "the real reason" behind the publicity over the new discovery:
"Ah yes! The Holy Grail of bioengineered gender equalism---a safe and effective means of extending a woman's fertility well beyond what all reason and concern for healthy parenting would otherwise mandate. Nowhere is it mentioned, or are we even to consider, that women's real reason for wanting a safe way to extend their fertility has less to do with 'infertility' concerns and a lot more to do with their difficulties in optimizing Hypergamy."
So there we have it. These medical advances have nothing whatsoever to do with making motherhood a possibility for many women who desire it. Instead---according to the Game Cult---these advances are calculated to increase female probabilities of mating with an 'Alpha' male. Lest the reader think otherwise, The Rational Male confesses:
"In the Manosphere there's an understanding that women's Party Years, the years she rides the C--k Carousel are dedicated to the pursuit of Alpha F---s; her prime directive is focused on short-term breeding strategy. Women's entitlement extends to the point now that they demand that science extend this period..."
One might presume that, given the Game Cult's emphasis on male sexual promiscuity and that they all fancy themselves sexually desirable Alphas, they would consider this a positive development (assuming that their theories were true). But to put this seeming paradox in context, one has to understand that---to their way of thinking--- female hypergamy is an unmitigated evil that leads women to commit all manner of crimes against men. As the author further states:
"It is important to consider how women's feral selves are effected by an instantaneous attention and affirmation that previous generations of women craved, but never dreamed of having this kind of facility with."
Now we come to the crux of the matter. Stripped of all the pseudoscience and neologisms we understand what Game Cult sexual theories are actually premised upon: fear of feminine sexual power. This explains largely why the Red Pills favor sexual liberation and advocate controlling sexuality at the same time.
When we speak here of feminine sexual power, we mean the natural attractive female quality that entices a male to win and conquer her. The Gamers fear this: their entire concept of the Alpha is premised on control; either through force or manipulation, female sexuality. As we have noted elsewhere, there are no such things as hypergamy or the feminine imperative, and the Evolutionary Psychology upon which both theories are based is bogus. What such theories are designed to do is to dupe men into believing (i.e. taking the Red Pill) that healthy sexual bonding with a female is biologically impossible.
These false theories are rooted in their fears; of which their Alpha Archetype is a projection. The Alpha is supposedly above emotional bonding and knows how to bend women to his will. The chumps,---those men who haven't taken the Red Pill---are vulnerable and subject to losing their female conquests at any time. The Game paradigm, which allows nothing for love, is strictly based upon fear. The fear of the Alpha being sexually rejected, and the fear of the female under an Alpha's control.
Despite the Gamers' pseudo-Christian veneers, we see there is nothing holy about this type of relationship. And it also explains their paradoxical position on extending female fertility. A woman's capacity to reproduce is a major factor in her sexual power. Extending that power is something that the Alphas cannot tolerate. Fear also largely accounts for their intolerance of mixed-race relationships.
The New Testament tells us that "There is no fear in love." The motive force behind all cults is fear, and the Game Cult is no different in this respect. It is no more a movement to empower men; any more than Feminism is about empowering women or so-called 'Gay Rights' is about a right to love. All of these movements empower no one but their leaders and rely upon intimidation, deception, and force to achieve that power.
Contrary to what the Red Pills say, women have an instinctual fear of infertility. That medical science can reduce or eliminate that threat is a positive gain for civilization. Unfortunately, though, The Rational Male concludes by telling us that his article is the first in a series on this subject. But thankfully, science doesn't pay much attention to him.
The Hungarian government this week announced the creation of a new federal agency which will be tasked with fighting anti-Christian bigotry and combatting international Christian persecution. The new office will be a division of the Hungarian Ministry for Human Rights. Hungary has become the first world government to establish formally such an office.
Hungarian President Victor Orban and Human Rights Minister Zoltan Balog were inspired to create the new agency after attending the 1st World Conference of Catholic Legislators, held this year in Italy. The conference was presided over by Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn of Austria. The Cardinal has long warned Europe about losing its Christian, through both Islamification and Cultural Marxism. Orban and Balog, although both Protestants, met in a private audience at the conference with Pope Francis.
The new agency has a $3.3 million annual budget.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Balog underscored the urgency of raising the international community's awareness of Christian persecution. "Today, Christianity has become the world's most persecuted religion." he stated. "Four out of five people worldwide who are killed for religious reasons are Christians. In 81 countries around the world, Christians are persecuted and 200 million Christians live in areas where they are discriminated against."
Balog also pointed out that, while the worst persecutions are occurring in the Middle East at the hands of Wahhabi fanatics, European Christians also suffer from attacks led by political extremists. "It is also expected that we will keep a vigilant eye on more subtle forms of persecutions within European borders." he noted.
The Minister was referring most probably to a 2014 Vatican report which cited Radical Feminists, Homosexual activist gangs and other Cultural Marxists in the West as encouraging anti-Christian discrimination. Though the Hungarians didn't specifically mention North America, our continent certainly should be noted by the new agency. In the US and Canada there is considerable official and unofficial anti-Christian discrimination regularly practiced. In the Northern states of Mexico, violent drug cartels---many of which are led by known members of Satanic cults and covertly aided by US interests---are responsible for the murders of dozens of priests; as well as the destruction of several churches.
While Hungary deserves praise for this progressive initiative, it is unfortunate that our own government is so distant from such humanitarian concerns. Especially when we consider that the United States was the first modern nation to enshrine Liberty of Conscience and Freedom of Religion into law. Yet, sadly our government today not only aids and abets anti-Christian movements abroad, but encourages them domestically as well.
Hungary's new policy, however, is going to bring international attention to the problem. If international focus begins to turn on the plight of Christians, it may force changes here as well.
In today's political and intellectual climate, this was bound to happen. The US Corporate Media outlet The Washington Post (among others) has run an article suggesting that Hilary Clinton's recent health problems may be caused by deliberate poisoning. The Post, who brushes off actual hard-copy incriminating insider leaks about Clinton and Soros as conspiracy theories, was quick to insinuate that Vladimir Putin was the logical mastermind behind such a crime.
The Post is owned by media mogul Jeff Bezos. Bezos also owns Amazon, which received a $16.5 million contract with the US State Department during Hilary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State. Amazon is also a contractor with the CIA, which goes a long way to explain its position vis-à-vis Russia.
Nonetheless, The Post cites Dr. Bennett Omalu, a forensic pathologist who became a celebrity after his 'discovery' that deceased football players actually suffered from concussions. It probably should have been presumed that men whose profession involves repeated blows to the head might suffer from concussions; but in the Prozac Nation such things as scientific breakthroughs---and of course generate lawsuits and media revenue. We should also note that along with the Corporate Media, trial lawyers and Big Pharma are among Hillary Clinton's top donors. The article today was written by Cindy Boren, a former sports writer.
Dr. Omalu recommends that Hilary Clinton be given an immediate toxicology test. His professional opinion, according to Ms. Cindy, rests upon this penetrating analysis: "I do not trust Mr. Putin or Mr. Trump. With those two anything is possible."
Ms. Cindy then goes on to cite another authority: a January Washington Post article insinuating that Putin was behind the mysterious death of Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko in 2006. This story was based on a pre-BREXIT British inquiry at a time when Obama and Cameron were pressuring the EU on imposing tougher anti-Russian sanctions.
It is rather difficult to imagine that President Putin---an ex-KGB general with one of the world's top intelligence networks at his disposal--- allegedly could handle Litivenko so effectively in 2006 that even the biased British inquiry could find "only circumstantial evidence" implicating Russia, yet botch an attempt on Clinton so badly in 2016 that a doctor watching a Youtube video could uncover the whole diabolical plot. Unfortunately, Postmodern America is not well-known for its deep powers of reasoning, and Dr. Omalu's theory is going viral.
It's somewhat peculiar that given the sheer number of suspicious deaths that seem to surround the Clintons---including the still-unsolved murder of Seth Rich---that the Post would accuse Putin of an attempted assassination of a US presidential candidate. Or just as peculiarly given some of the shady foreign deals that the Clintons were involved in, that the Post should insinuate that Trump is guilty of treason.
I hope that the readers are seeing the dangerous patterns that have been emerging during the 2016 Elections. This election cycle is---bar none---the most disgraceful one is US History; and we've had plenty of bad ones. The street riots breaking out at rallies; the overt rigging of the Democratic Nomination; the blatant interference from Wall Street; the anti-Semitism, racism, and Fascism coming from the Alt-Right; accusations of treason and murder flying about---this election is looking like one from a Banana Republic, circa 1916. And this election is likely to benefit the American people just as much as any of those elections benefitted the people of Central America.
