Today, Americans are celebrating the second Independence Day since the downfall of the Deep State. It feels good to see the Fourth of July actually mean something again. However, we do think it prudent for Americans to be extra vigilant this holiday. This isn't the standard 'be safe with fireworks' or 'don't drink and drive' message. If you're out in public this year, watch out for potential violence.
If you've been following much of the news lately, it's noticeable that elements of the Far Left are becoming more and more unpredictable; and more prone to violence both in word and deed. Just today, authorities caught someone trying to scale the Statue of Liberty. Last weekend, a Tea-Party Rally in Oregon by Antifa; another nutcase ambushed the head of the EPA in a restaurant, etc. Just being out and around in town, I've overheard Liberals praising kooks like Robert DiNiro and Peter Fonda---and adding their own bloodthirsty fantasies into the mix.
The sight of patriotic Americans celebrating today might (to use one of the Left's own expressions) 'trigger' one of the many Leftists who've been mentally teetering on the precipice of turning their neurotic dreams into concrete action.
So, if you're out tonight, just be aware of your surroundings. Note where the police and security people are positioned, in case you notice something suspicious. Taking people by surprise is something that mass-shooters and terrorists count on. The police today are better trained for such events; but keeping a sharp eye on your surroundings will increase your chances if an attack of some kind occurs. You can note places to hide, to escape to, or fight back from, should the need arise.
In other words, adopt the philosophy of the modern police. Accept the fact that Leftists, Jihadists, and other violent psychos are out there and we have to prepare for them. The police will respond if an emergency happens, but you can make their jobs much easier by having an awareness of your own.
Let's hope that there's no need to employ this advice today; but it's better to have knowledge and not need it than to need knowledge and not have it.
So, Pope Francis has been accused of something sexual by some unknown somebody who claims that the whole incident happened somewhere sometime in the past; so says the Corporate Media after somebody whispered something in some reporter's ear. Or so some people say. But I'm with Mrs. Trump:
Why don't we care, and neither should you? Here are a few reasons:
1. The American Media Lies. The Media lies continually about Pope Francis. Just a few days ago, they claimed that Pope abolished the Doctrine of Hell. They told lies about Pope Benedict and about Pope John Paul continually too.
2. Sleazy Sex Scandals Sell. Ever since Clarence Thomas' Senate confirmation hearing, the Media found that abandoning Journalism and peddling 'Infotainment' instead sells. Mixing the tactics of shock-jocks, reality-TV, tabloid muckraking, and soft-core pornographers with a few facts made the Media Cartels rich. In a sexually repressive culture like ours, voyeurism and paedohysteria are irresistible sociological forces.
3. The American Media is Reflexively Anti-Catholic. Most of the Media is anti-Christian generally, but anti-Catholic in particular. This is also true of Alt-RINO news outlets like World News Daily who ran the 'exclusive' about the Pope today. WND features regular articles by Catholic-haters like Vox Day and Michael Savage.
Of course, America is a country where Free Speech and a Free Press is a Right. I would have no issues if people want to read and write sensationalist stories; or produce films and TV shows for the illiterates among the connoisseurs of such garbage. What's troubling is that this trash is being palmed off on the public as 'news' and real people, in real life, suffer the consequences. Even in some cases where the accused were found guilty---like Jerry Sandusky or Jodi Arrias---it's hard to believe that they actually got a fair and unbiased trial. Others have had their lives, reputations, and fortunes destroyed on the mere say-so of public rumor and innuendo.
In most of these kinds of cases, the evidence of 'sexual misconduct' (whatever that means) was committed in private and a remote time and/or place. The Courts cannot possibly determine the truth or falsehood of such matters. They have only the word of the accusers. The accusers have nothing to lose by lying. They stand to gain notoriety, profit, or even revenge with little or no consequences if they fail. The accused stands to lose everything.
Which brings us back to Point #2. Back when we were still taught actual History in schools, we read with horror of witch-hunts and Negro lynchings. These sex scandals whip up hysteria not unlike those events. A mob always acts first and thinks later. Our Constitution sets up strict rules of evidence and strictly condemns such practices as we were subject to before July 4th, 1776. Things like the Star Chamber, extorted confessions, ex post facto laws, Bills of Attainder, and other organized forms of public violence to Justice. The Media wouldn't care if all of these things came back---just so long as they are the ones to be the judge and jury and get to broadcast the execution on Pay-per-View.
Just say 'no' to Media-driven fake scandals and say 'yes' to Justice.
Yes, the 'Red Line' was again crossed---but this time not in the Middle East. And not on orders of the Assad 'Regime' either. The chemical weapons attack took place, we learned today, last December in the Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana.
The guilty party was a soldier from nearby Fort Polk named Ryan Taylor, who was convicted today and who faces a possible life sentence. MP's at the Fort testified that they heard an explosion and saw an unusual cloud from the nearby forest. They went to investigate and caught Taylor filming the event on an I-Phone.
One of the MP's was badly burned and had to be discharged from the Army on medical grounds after approaching too close to the fallout. Taylor then fled, leaving the MP wounded, but he was later captured. Specialists testified at his trial that Taylor had detonated a Chlorine-Gas bomb. When his apartment was searched, authorities found a pipe bomb rigged with stolen military fuses and detonators. The whole block had to be evacuated until the FBI's Bomb Squad removed the weapon.
Unfortunately, this is the kind of military that Trump inherited from the Clintons and Bushes. Our own military personnel lately have done more damage to our country through their incompetence, outright stupidity, and criminality than ISIS has. The same week as Taylor's conviction also saw Air Force 'veteran' Reality Winner sentenced to over five years in prison for leaking classified material to the press to attack Trump. It also saw a few of our 'out and proud' postmodern Marines indicted on numerous criminal charges. And we saw an avowed Communist and West Point graduate discharged for promoting overthrowing the US Government.
Sitting at the top of this rats'-nest is Obama's former CENTCOM commander, James Mattis; now US Secretary of Defense. Mattis hasn't lifted a finger to undo any of the disasters created by three decades of Deep-State Political Correctness.
What our Pentagon needs is a wholesale top-to-bottom cleaning out. Take women out of combat and out of the military in general. Ban homosexuals and other sex perverts again. Raise the physical fitness and intelligence standards in recruiting. Re-initiate mandatory drug testing. Eject all those PC-officers and promote new ones from the ranks. Let Drill Instructors instill discipline again. Kick out the corrupt contractors and put the military back in charge of its own essential services.
Our Military is no place for the kind of dirty politics which has characterized its entire command structure since the Clinton Administration. It's no place for Snowflakes; it's time to bring back the kinds of fighting men who made this July 4th possible.
Apparently undaunted by the dismal showing of The Crackdown, Vox Day and the Red Pills at Arkhaven have released the second issue of their much ballyhooed 'Alt-Hero' comics:
Just in time for Independence Day, we get a superheroine who's a Neo-Confederate. Already, this one's off to a bad start.
Like its predecessor, the plot is hard to follow, but here's our best stab at it: a frat-boy who's become an Alpha Superman is denounced by an Antifa leader whom he beat up. This fellow not only beats up his political opponents, he's being chased by a bunch of guys in blue helmets (Blue Pill, get it?) because they object to his hobby of hunting undocumented immigrants. The Blue Pills meanwhile take the Dixie Chick prisoner; because, in this 'alt-world' the UN has prohibited superwomen and Alpha-Boys from co-mingling.
Seriously, this is the kind of thing that the Alt-RINOs think will overthrow Marvel and DC and return American comics to their glory years. What these guys seem to overlook is the fact that if one wishes to accomplish these things, one actually has to produce a better product. Vox and his disciples claim to be 'rescuing' comics from the so-called 'SJW convergence' of the mainstream comics and the bad examples they set, unlike Arkhaven's stuff. Which for example, doesn't send subtle homosexual messages:
And, though Vox' echo-chambers applaud the anti-Feminism in Alt-Hero, nobody seems to notice that the first two issues center completely on dominant women.
That aside, the artwork isn't much better than the first issue. The storyline is even less comprehensible. Vox is trying desperately to pretend that the Leftists allegedly controlling the industry are responsible for Alt-Hero's poor showing in terms of sales, promotion, and readership. It has nothing to do with politics. The fact is that, frankly, Arkhaven's productions suck.
One particular shortcoming is that the dialogue is so sparse as to make the stories unintelligible. Let's compare a typical sample from the era that Vox claims to be imitating:
And note that there are words in nearly every frame. This technique is called pacing. Comic books don't tend to be very long; and part of their appeal is making a coherent story. Compare the above specimen with one from Rebel's Cell:
And did anybody else notice that the pictures of the car look like they were cut and pasted from old Ford ads?
If the Red Pills were still capable of feeling shame, they'd slink away from this one. But we suppose there'll be a number #3 on the way...
As we've all heard by now, another loser has gone berserk and shot five dead and wounded an unspecified number in Maryland. The suspect targeted the headquarters of the Annapolis Capital-Gazette, a Beltway-area newspaper. Since the suspect isn't a minority, the media immediately released details about him, and the partisan finger-pointing, the obligatory 'hearts-and-prayers' speeches, and conspiracy theories are already flying across the Internet. Forgotten, of course, are the victims---as is usual with the American Corporate Media.
Reuters News---for whatever their words are worth---reported that the suspect recently filed a defamation suit against the Capital-Gazette. He was said to be a local punk who worked as a bureaucrat for the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and had a record for stalking and harassment.
But enough of this nutcase. The people who really deserve credit were the local police. They arrived in less than one minute and took control of the situation, preventing more casualties. The police are never heroes to the Media, but the quick response reflects a growing trend among local police jurisdictions: specialized training for these kinds of emergencies. Broward County, Florida Sheriff Scott Israel, who was one the architects of the new program stated that "we can no longer be in denial that these incidents are now part of our society. We can't prevent these; but we can train to contain the damage."
Anne Arundel County Sheriff's deputies obviously have been trained in the new techniques. According to witnesses, they quickly canvassed the interior of the building and surrounded the suspect before he could do more harm. The key to Sheriff Israel's plan is utilizing our high-tech communications abilities to coordinate first responders. Some departments are experimenting with a computer download of floor-plans and building configurations in high-profile potential targets. This technology hasn't yet been perfected, but in theory will give a special police dispatcher the ability to move officers through a building like pieces on a chessboard.
Our nation's police are evolving to meet these new challenges. But it's up to the public to do more. By this, we're not speaking of more useless, virtue-signalling gun control laws; or promoting clowns like David Hogg to organize stupid protest marches. When hearing of this story, I recalled a scene from a 1949 episode of Dragnet. In this episode, Chief Thad Brown and Sergeants Friday and Romero were hunting a sadistic child-killer. The following conversion took place after the detectives stayed up all night questioning suspects:
Brown: "Sorry we're going to have keep moving on this one."
Friday: "Did you see the papers this morning?"
Brown: "Yeah. They're like everybody else, crying too late. Someday people are going to learn that you don't fool with these degenerates: you take precautions or you take the consequences, there's no in-between."
Friday: "There's the usual talk going around town: it's supposed to be all our fault for letting the psychos run loose..."
Brown: "We don't make the laws, we enforce them. Until we get something to work with---laws with teeth in them---then these atrocities are going to go on."
Friday: "Nobody seems to care. We pick them, they serve a few days and pay a fine and then they waltz out of here. Nobody seems to care."
Brown: "Pity 'em, don't cure them. Nature played a trick on them; feel sorry for them---until they kill a kid. There's not a firm law to cover them as they are: we have to wait until they murder somebody."
Friday: "We've got a better law for mad dogs---we don't let them run around until they bite somebody."
Romero: "Those two little girls that psycho killed ought to prove something to them."
Maybe this shooting in Maryland will wake a few people up to reality. By Sigmund Freud's own definition, mental illness keeps people from functioning in a civilized society. Liberals can't have it both ways: we can't have a civilized society and allow people who can't live in to run loose in it. This shooter; the Parkland school shooter and many others shouldn't have been on the streets in the first place.
In Goochland County, Virginia a New Zealander is in the county jail's hospital ward after learning the hard way what armed Americans actually do to criminals. An unidentified woman shot one Troy Skinner of Auckland twice in the throat with a .22 pistol after Skinner attempted to break in and kidnap her daughter. He made it as far as neighbor's yard before collapsing.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported that Skinner met the woman's daughter online through an app called 'Discord'. This is an online video gaming app that allows users to communicate via a Smart-phone or PC. The daughter, who is a legal minor, cut off communications with Skinner about four months ago. Skinner then tried using various tech-based stratagems to circumvent the woman's block. Authorities say that he unexpectedly flew from Auckland to track down the young female, showing up at her house last Friday afternoon with a knife, pepper spray, and duct tape. He threw a brick through a glass door and tried to enter in spite of the mother warning him that she was armed.
That's when the fireworks started. Skinner, a 6-1 280-lb. 'gentle giant' according to associates back home, found out the meaning of the old saying, "God made man, but Winchester made them equal."
This is why we have a 2nd Amendment. According to the US Library of Congress' Law Reference: "There is no right to own or possess firearms in New Zealand, even for purposes of self-defense." Virginia's Constitution in contrast says that gun ownership is "the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state; and the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." In his country, Skinner could break into homes, rape and abduct women, and not need fear any immediate consequences.
Goochland County Sheriff James Agnew said that the shooting was justified and that Skinner will likely recover to stand trial. Because Skinner came from abroad and the woman in question is legally a minor, the case has been turned over to the FBI.
Within hours of Trump's electoral victory in 2016, the far-out, whacko Left-Wing was already going berserk. That very night, idiots were flooding the streets of Berkeley and Portland, keeping residents and police up all night with their howling. It wasn't over: 240 people were arrested---including some public employees---at the Inauguration in January. We've been seeing it ever since: from violent riots to NFL protests to slatterns marching in vulgar pink hats, the Left has lost it collectively.
Ever since the Radical Left infiltrated the Democratic Party in 1968, they've always resorted to violence, sabotage, and subterfuge in their relentless quest for power; and been just as ruthless and unscrupulous when they've governed. It's not uncommon to see their violence in the aftermath of an election they've lost. But usually, they eventually settle down and begin scheming either for the next election or trying to concoct some Watergate-like scandal.
This time, things have been different. The hysteria of the Left over Trump's election has given way over time to something resembling complete insanity. Over the last few weeks, media scumbags have been threatening the Trump children and grandchildren with homosexual paedophilia. Leftist pundits are encouraging their followers to attack Trump supporters---their persons, properties, and businesses. Last weekend, a maniacal restaurateur kicked a Trump spokeswoman out her establishment for no reason. This insane act has led to calls for others in business to follow suit. Today, protesters mobbed US Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao McConnell, leading to a confrontation.
And as if this weren't enough, a San Francisco-area degenerate named Andrew Gregor posted this brilliant statement:
Of course, the Trump Administration has expanded wildlife protection, cut taxes for the middle class and working poor, leased (not sold) public lands for oil companies, and never put babies in cages. And of course, Gregor isn't exactly civil. He runs a rather shady 'green' contracting company and one Yelp reviewer claims actually to have caught him pilfering supplies after being kicked off a job he'd botched. According to Open Secrets, Gregor was a Sanders supporter. Despite supposedly running a profitable business, the cheapskate typically donated between $20-60 dollars to candidates. In November 2016, he tried unsuccessfully to raise $10,000 for an anti-Trump rally---apparently he doesn't oppose Trump enough to spend his own money doing it. A typical Liberal: he'll come with 'pliers and a blowtorch' as soon as he can appropriate them from somebody else.
Why are we seeing this fury from the Left today? The answer is twofold, with both reasons interconnected. The first is that the leaders on the Left have been stoking class hatred, envy, resentment, and identity politics for a long time. The second is that the Left is currently leaderless. The Leftist leaders could at least (or believed that they could) control and channel all of the hatred and rage they'd incited. When John Kerry lost in 2004, he told his supporters to wait out Bush and 'we'll get 'em next time'. Obama promised 'hope and change' and was able to accommodate and appease Leftist demands to a great extent. Even though Sanders supporters were often violent, the Senator himself disavowed violence and most of his media toadies, like Tom Hartmann, were aging hippies who saw in Sanders the realization of all their 60's love-in schmaltz.
But what we're seeing is a repeat of the scenarios of several movies, novels, and actual history. Movements built on perpetual outrage are not easy to control once they gain momentum. The French Revolution of 1789, the Russian Revolution of 1917, and the German Election of 1933 ended radically different than their organizers had planned: and in most cases recoiled on their leaders when people like the Jacobins, Bolsheviks, and Nazis found that they too could harness and direct mindless popular anger.
And that's what we're seeing with the Left today: mindless rage waiting for a Robespierre, Lenin, or Hitler to give it direction and purpose.
We've often said this about the Radical Right, but it pertains to the Far Left too: they're heading in a direction that easily could turn their paranoia into a self-fulfilling prophecy. The Left accuses Trump (falsely) of political repression. What better way to cause that repression to happen than go about targeting Conservatives for acts of violence?
Our Government is premised on settling political differences peacefully and enacting solutions to problems with debate and mutual compromise. When one side says it's through with civility and peace, there's going to be a reaction that's a lot more determined than pliers and blowtorches. Study our history and see how well any violent insurrection---from the Whiskey Rebellion to the L.A. Riots---have fared. The only place that people like Peter Fonda and Andrew Gregor will lead you is to the graveyard.
