For a second night, outraged citizens here in the Prozac Nation are killing one another in the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina. Egged on by the Corporate Media and George Soros' Black Lives Matter anarchists, one person is dead and seven more police injured (so far). Property damage has been extensive. For whatever it's worth, NC Governor Pat McCrory declared a State of Emergency.
"Any violence directed towards our citizens or police officers or destruction of property should not be tolerated." McCrory said, after tolerating it for two days.
In contrast to this, a wonderful story appeared in SANA News. SANA is the official news agency of Syria, and gave an instructive lesson of how people rise above uncontrolled violence when they still have a sense of humanity left.
SANA
reported that in the city of Lattakia, a town liberated from the terrorists shortly after the Russian Expeditionary Force arrived, a mass-wedding took place involving 120 couples. The grooms were soldiers in the Syrian Army and the brides were women who were widowed or orphaned during the fighting. The ceremony was sponsored by the Syriatel Communications Company, which had arranged two previous mass-weddings.
Syriatel sponsors these wedding as part of a program launched by the company's directors, called Our Martyrs, Our Responsibility. The program reaches out to assist families whose male providers have been killed in the Civil War---unfortunately a very high number of families in today's Syria.
The event's theme was "In Good Times and Bad" a phrase from the Islamic wedding ceremony. The event featured a pageant honoring fallen soldiers, along with some traditional Arab dances and a wedding feast in honor of the 120 newlyweds.
Alaa Salamour, one of the executives of Syriatel told SANA: "Syriatel has a doctrine that we all believe in, that is to stand by the side of the Syrian Arab Army heroes. And being loyal to the martyrs comes through supporting their families. This is an event of national victory, embodying the culture of life and hope."
"The culture of life and hope." What a stark contrast to the death and destruction wreaked on the streets of Charlotte. Wouldn't it be a better thing if, like the directors of Syriatel, George Soros thought that sponsoring weddings in the black community would be better than sponsoring riots?
But we no longer have a culture of life and hope. Our martyrs are dead white males and abortion, homosexual unions and adoptions, Feminism, and the Game Cult dominate American family policy. Marriage and children, not so much. This is one reason why the Obama-Clinton-Soros policy towards Syria has failed. They badly underestimated the character of Syrian people---because moral character is something that they do not comprehend.
So while Charlotte burns, Lattakia lives on, with the promises of new lives and new loves as the horrors of the recent Al-Qaeda occupation recede into memory. There's a lesson to be drawn from this contrast, if we really hope to make America great again.
Good Men and Women Doing Good Things
Once again the Soros-funded Black Lives Matter gang and other assorted Anarchists have broken out in violent outrage, this time in Charlotte, N.C.. The angry mobs exploded into the streets after the Charlotte Police reported shooting a black man brandishing a gun at them. As is typical in these cases, the Ameroboobs went berserk and rampaged through the streets against racial injustice before any official inquest was conducted, or even before learning that the officer involved was, himself, also a black male.
According to local reports, the rioters rallied on social media with slogans like "We out like the Taliban!" and "This ain't no m----------g game, nigga!" and "This ain't no one-day action. This the first time people standing up!" Which serves clearly to illustrate both the commitment to social justice and the relative intelligence directing the Charlotte Anarchists.
Twelve police officers have so far been injured during the uprising. The Corporate Media on the scene referred to crowd as "protestors" and "demonstrators" even as the mob engaged in such acts of civil disobedience as burning cars and buildings, blocking I-85, and breaking into a Wal-Mart. The police employed tear gas, but the Corporate Media withdrew after the protesters began stoning them, allegedly knocking out one cameraman with a rock.
While it is certainly true that the American Criminal Justice System is in need of serious reform, shooting police, looting department stores and adopting the Taliban as a role model does not bring reform about. Nor does planting explosive devices in residential areas of New York and blaming it on so-called Islamophobia.
The Charlotte Riots are yet another example of Narcissism-Run-Wild, as are all of these so-called 'protests' against alleged police violence. There is not the slightest concern among these street rabble for the lives, families, or interests of the people they attack---none of whom had any involvement in the shooting.
We do not even know whether or not the police were justified at this point. And what is of especial interest here is that there were no protests---peaceful or otherwise---in the US over our government's deliberate murder of 90 Syrian soldiers over the weekend. That---like the hundreds of civilian deaths our government is responsible for in Syria---is sloughed off by the Corporate Media, the Cultural Marxists, and the public in general as an error in judgment.
Our priorities in the Postmodern US are seriously flawed. A police officer who in the line of duty takes a human life and whose actions will face review by his peers occasions a riot where innocent people are harmed. A government who illegally attacks another country for defending itself against terrorists and murders innocent people by hundreds is not even held accountable in any way, shape, or form.
It would almost seem as though the only consistent factor in any of these events is that innocents are the ones who suffer the consequences. And that is actually unsurprising. When a society breaks down, is to devolve upon its earlier stages of civilization. What we are witnessing in the Charlotte Riots, the NYC bombings, and the Syrian War Crimes are a reversion to barbaric and primitive societal norms. When a primitive people suffer what they perceive to be an injustice, their first thoughts turn to revenge and to human sacrifice to appease their anger---which they typically project onto some higher power. Among earlier savages, these were offended idols, in modern times the sacrifices are made to more abstract concepts. But the principle is the same.
Civilized peoples operate under a Rule of Law. As corrupted as our system is, the legal mechanisms for peaceful conflict resolutions still exist. They are not being employed because of our tendencies towards Narcissism and the desire for effortless solutions to complicated problems. It's easier to find and sacrifice a scapegoat and return to narcotic tranquility afterwards than to change things in meaningful and lasting ways. Therein lies a fundamental difference between what our Nation was, and what it has become.
The Game Cult, which has come to dominate much of US Internet blogging, preaches a degenerated philosophy which throughout the course of the current decade has co-opted much of the Men's Rights Movement, a solid portion of the political Alt-Right, and has a fair media presence. Although atheistic in its origins, the Game Cult has taken on an increasingly religious tone; often adopting Christian motifs to justify its positions. Their philosophies are based largely on Evolutionary Psychology and rightist reverse-engineering of already-flawed Cultural Marxist socioeconomic theories. Mostly the Game Cult is characterized by a hatred for women, Jews, and ethnic minorities.
One of their shamans, Matt Forney, has a blog which recently featured a guest post by one John Saxon titled "Hate is Great; A Philosophical Defense of Misogyny" which mostly features selected quotes from various philosophers and theologians which support Saxon's position.
His position essentially is the same as the Feminist one: that previous generations were dominated by some ethereal patriarchal conspiracy predicated on misogyny and centered on controlling female sexuality. Saxon basically accepts this as valid; only he argues that this paradigm was based in sound policy. The problem from the very beginning here is that the Feminist Interpretation of History upon which he bases his arguments is, itself, false.
Instead of taking a few intellectuals out of context, we get a much clearer picture of things by looking at Western popular culture. From the extent Greek and Roman plays and poetry to Mediaeval writers like Chaucer and Boccaccio to Hollywood's Golden Age; what we see is that Western Culture has never bothered to restrain female sexuality very much, if at all. Outside of esoteric theory---in real life---men and women get attracted to one another and things happen. Thus it is a falsehood for Saxon to claim that:
"Thus in the West, both secular and Christian authorities have proposed positions contrary to Feminism and Women's Rights, based on a philosophical anthropology which sees women not only as innately inferior to men, but having dangerous propensities if left uncontrolled."
Wrong---the purpose of Western laws in these regards was the recognition that unrestrained human sexuality in general has dangerous social propensities if left uncontrolled. The Postmodern West, with its huge number of fatherless and orphaned children; rampant homosexuality and gender confusion; widespread sexually transmitted diseases---these are all testimonies to what happens when sexual social norms are abandoned. And by both genders, besides.
Saxon goes on to state that: "The greatest thinkers from antiquity to the modern day have seen that there is a very dark side to women, that if ignored by socially constructed b------t such as romantic love and a misplaced reverence for women, would lead to individual men and society coming undone." Note well the part which we have bolded, because this is also a Feminist argument, imported by the Feminists straight from Marxism.
These same thinkers that Saxon quotes believed in general that all of humanity has a dark side. Christian writers, especially, speak of original sin, and how such sins could lead to social collapse. And it's also especially worth noting that Christian writers in particular stressed romantic love as an archetype of spiritual love and also preached respect for women. Nowhere in the New Testament is misogyny taught anywhere. It is however taught that by their fruits you shall know them---an important maxim to keep in mind when reading Red Pill treatises.
Saxon concludes all this by saying: "Therefore even if a position does constitute misogyny, insofar as it expresses a position of strong dislike for women, or makes harsh criticisms of them, it cannot be dismissed for that reason alone."
Yes, it can: for the simple reason that hatred for women is unnatural to men. Men have to be taught to hate women; either by Red Pill indoctrination, negative experiences with women; or exposure to homosexuality. A general idea of this mindset and its reliance on great thinkers can be gathered by glancing at the sidebar of Forney's blog. Along with Saxon's article, some of the top posts are:
"Observations on Dating and Banging Girls in the Philippines"
"How to Crush a Girl's Self-Esteem"
"How to Beat your Girlfriend or Wife and Get Away With It"
"Why Fat Girls Don't Deserve to be Loved."
"If Your Girlfriend Drinks, She's Cheating on You"
Misogyny is apparently not only a virtue to the Game Cult, but making a virtue of necessity.
Suffice it to say, there is nothing Christian in any of this. Saxon's Christian sources are largely from some of the more deranged writers of the 15th and 16th Century Witch-Hunts, whom he claims "based most of their cases on classical literature as well as texts from the Old and New Testaments, as did later misogynist writers...if misogyny is a problem, conventional Christianity must go." Of course he fails to mention that the Church condemned the writings of all of the authors he mentioned---even at the time they were published. He also cites Tertullian in connection with the Game Doctrine of the Sin of Eve without noting that Tertullian had left the Church and converted to the Montanist heresy at the time he wrote the treatise which Saxon quoted.
Saxon does mention in passing that St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas "believed in a natural subordination of women while believing in their spiritual equality." Although he fails to mention that both writers stressed the duty of men in providing for and protecting women because of this spiritual equality.
The sad thing about these writings is that, given our culture's lack of formal education and religious training, ideas spread by the Game Cult actually have a significant following. Yet they are patently false ideas, and dangerous ones at that. Given this cult's history of co-opting other ideologies, it is prudent for all of us to be aware of its teachings and its ulterior motives.
The Washington Post last Sunday ran an editorial demanding that the heroic Edward Snowden be repatriated to the US, and not be issued a presidential pardon. The Post went on to denounce Snowden stating that, if he really believed in the justice of his cause, he would be willing to go to prison for his beliefs. And, of course, that Snowden has no credibility "as an avatar of freedom for seeking asylum in Vladimir Putin's Russia."
The "Editors"---who are actually neocons Fred Hiatt and Jackson Diehl---asserted that Snowden belonged in jail for the damage he allegedly did to national security. These same editors however had no qualms about the Post publishing Snowden's revelations and then accepting a Pulitzer Prize for it. The Post's CEO, Marty Baron said 2014 when awarded the prize:
"Disclosing the massive expansion of the NSA's surveillance network was indeed a public service. In constructing a surveillance system of breathtaking scope and intrusiveness, our government also sharply eroded individual privacy. All of this was done in secret, without public debate, and with clear weaknesses in oversight."
In other words, when The Post could cash in on the Snowden revelations, he was a whistleblower doing a public service. Now that Russia-bashing is where the money's at, Baron and the Smart Boys feel safe throwing Snowden under the bus. And, as we've pointed out here, Baron's boss Jeff Bezos has lucrative government contracts in intelligence, foreign affairs, and defense; so it is unsurprising that his henchmen Hiatt and Diehl would favor practically every interventionist policy the Beltway proposes. Hilary Clinton, who awarded Bezos a $16.5 million State Department contract, has proposed censoring Russian media or setting up agencies to counter it. No doubt Bezos would be among the beneficiaries of a such a policy.
While it's probably no surprise to anyone that men like Bezos, Baron, Hiatt or Diehl would stoop to this shameful level of duplicity; the real problem with the Post editorial was addressed by British journalist Glenn Greenwald. Greenwald also publishes Snowden's material:
"In doing so, the Washington Post has achieved an ignominious feat in US media history: the first-ever paper to editorialize explicitly for the criminal prosecution of its own source."
Greenwald was absolutely correct here pointing out this extremely dangerous precedent. The protection of media sources is a longstanding tradition upon which a free press needs to function. The purpose behind protecting media sources is obvious. If the media is to safeguard the public by passing on information, then a source must be safe from the retaliation from the corrupt elements it is exposing. By betraying Snowden, the Post has established that the media considers its sources as essentially expendable.
We have spoken before about the dangerous tendencies in the media to excuse outright demagoguery as informative not prescriptive, in that it incites antisocial behaviors then disclaims responsibility for them. The Washington Post has taken this already-low media standard and dropped it even further. They willingly published and profited off of a credible source, then call his revelations a crime and disavow any complicity in it.
The leadership of the Washington Post can hide behind all the phony prizes and awards they want to, but at the end of the day, Edward Snowden is still a hero while Bezos, Baron, Hiatt, and Diehl are still a collection of degenerates. Yet they are what passes for a Cultural Elite in Postmodern America, while men like Snowden are forced into exile.
Turkish President Erdogan stated to that country's press today that the US commandoes accompanying his troops in Syria had been withdrawn and returned to Turkey. Erdogan stated that the "attitudes" of our brave men and women in uniform made cooperation with Turkish allies in Northern Syria impossible.
"The militias do not want the US Special Forces' assistance because of their behavior towards the Syrian opposition." Erdogan announced. "Our troops escorted out 30 US Special Forces troops from the armed conflict zone."
The decision followed the Special Forces' humiliating retreat from the Syrian village of Al-Rai on Friday. A team of about a half-dozen commandoes entered Al-Rai. A scuffle quickly broke out between the troops and members of the FSA militia in which punches were thrown and the militiamen mobbed the soldiers, who cursed them in Arabic. The commandoes fled the scene, pelted with stones, bottles and invectives from the villagers and back to the Turkish lines.
A video released by a local militia commander summed up their sentiments: "We and other FSA groups fighting in and around Aleppo say that we remain a free army and refuse to fight on the side of Americans who support the terrorists...We are halting all military operations until US troops leave the region."
"Such rhetoric is not acceptable." huffed Josh Kirby, spokesman for the LGBTQ-friendly US State Department, "We have to keep in mind the greater goal of the operation."
The Pentagon decided to embed Special Forces with the Turkish forces operating in Syria largely for diplomatic reasons. Anti-American sentiment is at an all-time high in Turkey today. Many---if not most---Turks believe that the Obama Administration was complicit in last month's coup attempt against Erdogan.
In a statement given prior to the incident, Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis assured the Corporate Media that the FSA around Al-Rai had "been vetted." No doubt they were vetted by CENTCOM commander Joseph Votel who in May "accidentally" bombed the FSA during a battle with ISIS, much as he "mistakenly" bombed the Syrian yesterday. In Iraq, Votel is best known for 'unintentionally" dropping weapons and supplies on ISIS positions. His vetting skills were made apparent in June when the Jordanian contractors he'd hired were caught selling US weapons on the Black Market.
With our commandoes in their safe spaces in Turkey now, the Allies reported that they had recovered the positions captured by ISIS after yesterday's US airstrike. The death toll from that attack has reached 90, as ten more Syrian troops have died of their wounds. Syrian President Dr. Bashir Assad addressed the nation today, assuring them that the enemies of Syria ultimately will fail.
"They are depleting all their energy and resources to maintain the terrorist war in Syria." Assad said. "Whenever the Syrian State achieves tangible progress either on the ground or in national reconciliation, the nations hostile to Syria increase their support for terrorist organizations, and the most flagrant example of this was the US aggression against Syrian Arab Army positions in Deir Ezzur for the benefit of ISIS."
It has been a violent weekend here in the Prozac Nation. A series of bombings hit the New York Metro Area, a knife attack in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and mass-shootings in Los Angeles and Orlando. Two policemen were ambushed in Philadelphia. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the Minnesota attack, in spite of Obama's bombing the Syrian Army on their behalf. The FBI and NYPD announced the bombings are related, though no motive is yet known.
The ever-vigilant Corporate Media immediately pounced on Donald Trump for referring to the NYC attacks as a bomb, in spite of referring to it that way themselves repeatedly. And Hilary was of course quick (sort of) to chime in.
There has been, beyond doubt, an upsurge in this type of random violence in the United States during the last 30 years. That this trend has coincided with the cultural shift which has taken place during this time, however, is no coincidence.
The unholy pentangle promoted by Cultural Marxism: the breakdown of the family, the abandonment of traditional education, the rise of the sensationalist media, the social and economic marginalization of masculinity, and the proliferation of narcotics---these factors have rotted America's spiritual infrastructure as surely as Wall Street corruption and political malfeasance have rotted our physical and economic one. It is one thing to advocate, as many bloggers do, a return to religious values. But infrastructure supporting such a return is deeply lacking here.
It has been said often that other countries do not see this level of random violence. But what is not often said is that the levels of random violence also seem to be absent in proportion to where the above-listed societal ills are absent as well. A culture with strong families, a good educational system, a responsible media, a vibrant manhood not dependent on drugs is obviously going to be a more stable one, regardless of its religious inclinations.
The root cause of this wave of violence thus stems from spiritual poverty, in a manner of speaking. A godless, uneducated people with little sense of self-worth and significance are easy prey for ideologies and irrational ideas that offer quick and easy ways of supplying that spiritual need---whether it be drug addiction, membership in a gang, or political/cultish fanaticism. Violence is the quickest shortcut to fulfilling all of that. None of the recent mass-shooters, for example, would ever have risen to any notoriety: today their names are forever historically linked with places like Sandy Hook, Columbine, the Pulse Nightclub, etc. Others fancy themselves going down as martyrs for some supposedly higher cause like the 9/11 attackers, the Murrah Office bomber, and all these various police-shooters.
Essentially, what our so-called Cultural Elites have created is a cyclical social paradigm which both creates and capitalizes upon a culture of violence---and at the same time is dependent upon it. It couldn't be otherwise, because Marxism---the prominent philosophy of the Cultural Elites is predicated upon destabilizing societies and their violent overthrow. But as we have seen from the Bolshevik Revolution onwards, the same violence needed to establish such a culture is also needed to sustain it. It is no different in Postmodern America. Vast political power and concentrations of wealth both create the conditions for violence and terrorism---at the same time the threat of violence and terrorism justify monopolizing power and profit.
This cycle will not be broken until our spiritual infrastructure is restored. Whether or not we accomplish this remains to be seen.
Donald Trump gave a speech on Friday about gun control, in which he jokingly remarked that if Hilary Clinton was opposed to guns, she should disarm her bodyguards. This led to a hashtag being circulated throughout the social media demanding that Trump be detained by the Secret Service himself, on the alleged grounds that he was promoting an assassination attempt on Clinton.
We can all rest assured that Secret Service agents don't disarm simply because The Donald wants to make a point. Nonetheless, Ameroboob outrage over Trump's remarks overshadowed any potential concern over the five (so far) bombs planted in the New York Metro Area today, or Obama's War Crimes in Syria.
The hashtag was traced to one Peter Daou, a former Clinton campaign advisor and editor of Shareblue. The hashtag quickly rose to the top of Twitter feeds, despite being traced as well to several bot-accounts. Shareblue has something of a shady history, even by the US Corporate Media's dark standards. The publication was formerly known as The Blue Nation Review and, during the Democratic Party Primaries, was fairly outspoken against the Sanders campaign. The DNC scandals occasioned a name change, although the staff stayed the same.
Shareblue is officially a news outlet, but walks a fairly legal tightrope considering that its owner, David Brock, is also the head of a SuperPac called Correct The Record. CTR has come under some scrutiny for working directly with the Clinton Campaign---illegal under federal elections guidelines. In May, this PAC spent over $1 million dollars to create bot-accounts on Twitter and pay professional writers to troll the Internet combatting anti-Clinton statements on social media.
Brock himself is a very dubious and equivocal character. A homosexual, Brock once made a comfortable living writing propaganda in the early 1990s for the political Right. He was best known as the author of The Real Anita Hill, and various other sexually-titillating scandal-mongering pieces on Clintons and others. Brock was dispatched by his former publisher to write an expose on Hilary Clinton. By his own admission, after meeting with Mrs. Clinton, Brock suffered 'a crisis of conscience'. He cut ties with his associates on the Right and began writing exposes against them on behalf of the Clintons.
Brock's new-found friends in the DNC Machine have rewarded him well. He also founded (and still owns) a non-profit organization called Media Matters for America---which has received considerable funding from George Soros. Media Matters for America is allegedly a public-service company operating as a media-watchdog group. In this case, we can clearly see that the watchdogs need watching themselves.
So the editorial penned by Brock's henchman Daou demands the following action against an elected presidential candidate:
"This is utterly and completely unacceptable by any standard of decency. And any other person who made such an invitational threat against a political candidate---no less for the second time---would be in Secret Service custody right now. Someone who wasn't broadcasting the message to millions of people by virtue of the platform Trump is given would be facing potential criminal consequences. This is intolerable. And the media and law enforcement should treat it with the gravity it deserves."
To which we would point out that any other person who engaged in the types of activities that David Brock engages in would be under investigation by the FCC, the FEC, the FBI, and the IRS. Unfortunately, they won't treat Brock's crimes with the gravity it deserves, since---as recent DNC leaks show---these agencies are also filled with Obama and Clinton donors.
And needs to be added here that in the United States---even with today's disregard of the Constitution---we don't throw political candidates in jail for what they say.
In short, this hashtag controversy is another red herring. But what it does once again prove is how little credibility the Corporate Media actually has.
