WHAT'S THE CONNECTION HERE?

    Predictably, the Whacko Left has reacted with glee to the death of Senator McCain. And they've even managed to use the event to bash President Trump. Trump offered his condolences; which some in the Corporate Media denounced as not being effusive enough in its praise for the late Senator; while other pundits accuse Trump of being a hypocrite since he and McCain often quarreled politically. This is standard behavior for the American Left however and should surprise no one. 

    What really stinks though has been the reaction on several so-called Conservative sites. One really stupid site, a Yahoo forum called Individual Sovereignty, actually proclaimed a night-long 'celebration' over McCain's passing. For those unfamiliar with this site, it's moderated by a 'gender-queer' named Bob Hunt and is filled with ex- 'Log Cabin' Republicans; White Supremacists, Red Pills, and various trolls who've been kicked off of other forums. In other words, it's a good place to avoid.

     Over on 4Chan, the home turf of Q-Anon, there were memes posted of people dancing over the news. The Burning Platform blog spread the discredited Q theory that McCain caused the disaster on the USS Forrestal in 1967. The Humble Libertarian blog claimed that McCain was worse than Charles Manson. I've spotted a memes floating around of McCain in Hell. Matt Forney announced a "McCain is Over" party; while Vox Day stated curtly: "I have nothing good to say about the late Senator, except that an Arizona Senate seat is now open." It seems that Trash Culture is infecting a large segment of the Far Right.

      Today, the Senator's death was pushed off the headlines abruptly after a mass-shooting occurred in Jacksonville. What we know so far is that a disgruntled contestant at a video-game tournament went berserk and gunned about two dozen people down before killing himself. How is that incident related to the passing of John McCain?

     It's related in the callousness of the reaction. Those pundits and bloggers dancing around McCain's coffin like a bunch of cannibals dancing around a stew-pot are of the same spirit as someone who thinks that losing a video-game tournament is grounds for executing the winners. The governing sociopolitical philosophy underpinning the United States is winning through fair competition, compromise, diplomacy and dialogue. We're not (supposed to be) like many other countries where the military, the secret police, and insurgents simply take turns overthrowing each other for political control. And our philosophy too is rooted in Christianity which teaches that by their fruits, you shall know them. 

       In the Greek text, the word 'know' is probably better translated as 'recognize'.  When we see so-called Conservatives acting like disgusting Liberals and applauding McCain's death, rest assured that they have more in common with the Left than with us. 

      And it isn't to be wondered that incidents like this one in Florida happen when the media portrays people throwing parties over the death of political figures with utter disregard for the feelings of their friends and families. One of the best features of Senator McCain's character was his belief in his duty to others; and acting upon those beliefs. As a culture we need desperately to start thinking of our fellow-man again.

JOHN McCAIN 1936-2018

     Senator John McCain died today of complications from a malignant brain tumor, just four days shy of his 82nd birthday. He was the last of the 1980's Young Turks---proteges of President Reagan elected during that era. McCain's nickname was 'Maverick' and to say that his political career was controversial would be an understatement. 

     McCain was a political presence during the entirety of my adult life. There were times that I supported him, campaigned for him, voted for him, and contributed for him. Then there were other times when I felt like charging his office with a pitch-fork and throwing him out in the street on his butt. In retrospect, that's the kind of reactions that real leaders with the confidence and courage of their convictions often receive. 

     It's rather pointless now to rehash McCain's politics. All we really need to do is to recall the elections of 2000 and 2008 and ask ourselves whether or not a McCain Administration would have been preferable to Bush/Cheney or Obama/Clinton. In that light, it can be seen that McCain's political influence was, overall, more positive than negative. 

     Despite the frequency with which our civic interests crossed, I never met Senator McCain in person. People who knew him well said that he used to host cookouts for his friends and was an above-average barbecuer. He was married twice; first to a Jantzen Swimwear model and then to the lovely daughter of America's largest beer distributor. He was a boxer in his youth and a boxing fan all his life. We all know of his adventures in Vietnam. He fathered six children and adopted another. It's hard to dislike a man like that, when all's said and done.

     In fact, those who actually hated McCain included: the Viet-Cong and other international Communists; the DNC; the Mainstream Media; Red Pills; the Gay Mafia; etc. A man with enemies like those can't be all bad, either. 

     McCain also wrote seven books in collaboration with his friend, author Mark Salter. Character is Destiny and Why Courage Matters were books for boys stressing the importance of character, with historical biographies as examples. Hard Call was a similar book stressing the importance of making decisions on principle. Faith of My Fathers, Worth the Fighting For, and Restless Wave were an autobiographical trilogy. 13 Soldiers was an anthology of war stories written by Salter, but produced as an audiobook by McCain. McCain also wrote a series of proposed reforms in the sport of boxing which were adopted into law. 

     Like all of us, Senator McCain was a fallible human being. He made some mistakes and bad decisions at times, but he always did what he thought was right and never wavered once he set out on course. He approached everything he did with enthusiasm and determination. He may not have been perfect, but we could use a few more men like him.

FBI TAKES DOWN TWO MAJOR OPIOID RINGS

     Attorney-General Jeff Sessions, while speaking at a drug-interdiction task force meeting in Ohio today, dropped two bombshell announcements. And the bombs fell on top of two of the largest global narcotics-pushers on earth. 

      The first case came as a direct result of Sessions' new program which correlates information from federal, state, and local authorities to identify the top sources of narcotics smuggling. According to Sessions, the arrest of a notorious pusher in Akron whose Fentanyl supplies were directly linked to an overdose death. The lab results found the same type of drug had been located in other crimes. The FBI then were able to track down the front companies acting as distribution warehouses. That connection indicated that a major syndicate was behind the operation.

      The trail led back to Shanghai, China. Zheng Guanghua and his son Zheng Fujing were charged with 43 counts of "flooding the world with Opioids for over a decade," in Sessions' words. China has been notified of the extradition request. The Zhengs' top distributor, based in Boston, and 32 others involved in smuggling and distribution already have been rounded up. According to Sessions, Zheng-produced Opioids have been found in 25 countries and 37 US States. 

      Whatever happens to the Zhengs, either here or in China, their network is finished. Chinese authorities estimate that the Zhengs were smuggling tons of Opioids out of their country every month. 

     The Steamroller though, wasn't finished. Sessions announced the successful conclusion of a quasi-secret FBI project called Operation Darkness Falls. This investigation grew out of July's take-down of Alpha Bay, the largest 'dark web' Opioid-trafficking site. Two of the vendors who used that site, Matthew and Holly Roberts of San Antonio, were found to be the heads of another site called MH4LIFE. As it turned out, MH4LIFE is (or now, was) the largest online trafficking site in the US and fourth largest in the world. Between 2011 and today, the Roberts' sold every kind of illegal narcotic imaginable. 

      The take-down also captured one Robert Kiessling, the third largest fentanyl vendor in North America. He was based in Canada; and reportedly committed suicide after his arrest. Another named Ryan Kluth of Cleveland was arrested for dealing fentanyl and during the raid was also caught running a child-porn ring. 

      The full text of Sessions' speech can be read on this link,  since---as we all know---the Mainstream Media probably won't bother reporting it. But today's announcements were significant. The percentage of Opioids flooding our streets had to go down by at least double-digits after today's successes.

HEALTHLINE'S EDITORS ARE THE REALLY SICK ONES

    The online medical info site Healthline is the second-largest such website today. It is based in San Francisco and heavily contributed by members of postmodern Academia's science departments. This publication has made one of the most significant discoveries in all of medical history. We now know---after some 60+ millennia of human civilization---that having a vagina is exclusive only to females. 

    This revelation has shaken up the Medical/Academic Establishment: many of whom are convinced that gender is merely an artificial social construct. Thus this important biological discovery is a serious situation that has to be wished out of existence (like all other forms of reality that Cultural Marxists find distasteful). Therefore, the folks at Healthline have decided to remove the term 'vagina' from their literature in hopes that vaginas will eventually go away.  

     "It's imperative for safe sex guidelines to become more inclusive of LGBTQIA and nonbinary people." their editors have pronounced. Nobody has the slightest idea what that statement means; other than to appear educated and culturally sophisticated, one has to agree with it. 

      And as if this weren't enough they pontificate further that "This is gender-inclusive language that's considerate of the fact some trans people don't identify with the labels that the medical community attaches to their genitals." 

      This might sound like a silly question in our effete era, but---Aren't people who are living in a state of denial of empirical reality by definition mentally ill? 

       "A delusion is a belief that is clearly false and that indicates an abnormality in the affected person’s content of thought. The false belief is not accounted for by the person’s cultural or religious background or his or her level of intelligence. The key feature of a delusion is the degree to which the person is convinced that the belief is true. A person with a delusion will hold firmly to the belief regardless of evidence to the contrary. Delusions can be difficult to distinguish from overvalued ideas, which are unreasonable ideas that a person holds, but the affected person has at least some level of doubt as to its truthfulness. A person with a delusion is absolutely convinced that the delusion is real. Delusions are a symptom of either a medical, neurological, or mental disorder. Delusions may be present in any of the following mental disorders: (1) Psychotic disorders, or disorders in which the affected person has a diminished or distorted sense of reality and cannot distinguish the real from the unreal, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, delusional disorder, schizophreniform disorder, shared psychotic disorder, brief psychotic disorder, and substance-induced psychotic disorder, (2) Bipolar disorder, (3) Major depressive disorder with psychotic features (4) Delirium, and (5) Dementia."

       Such is the very definition given by the US National Institute of Health. Yet doctors are being told that what are clearly delusions---based in psychiatric disorders--- should be treated with the deference and respect of established scientific fact! And we do have to wonder about the mental state of the editors at Healthline who think that the delusions of sexual psychotics sound completely rational.

      This whole story has drawn considerable controversy across the Internet. But the real scandal is that American taxpayers are subsidizing universities which are turning out  psychological cripples who not only can't distinguish between men and women; they can't distinguish between reality and insanity. Even primitive witch-doctors know that certain herbs and rituals are exclusive to treating the respective genders. Our Academic 'elite' don't even understand that little. 

      We need to get our out-of-control educational system under some kind of order, or we're headed for some very Dark Ages indeed. There will always be quacks promoting pseudoscience, but when it comes from the so-called 'educated professionals' we have a serious problem.

FEDS FORCE PROVIDENCE SCHOOLS TO TEACH ENGLISH

    The Civil Rights' Division of the US Justice Department announced this weekend that they had reached a settlement with the Providence School District, under which non-native English-speaking students would have adequate access to language courses. The Trump Administration argued that denying English courses to non-native speakers violated the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974. Some 8,000 children and teenagers were being denied remedial English.

     "As a result of this settlement, English Learners will now receive all of the services they are entitled to and deserve, " said US Attorney Stephen Dambruch. Providence mayoral candidate Robert DeRobbio said it better: "Providence students shouldn't need a Federal investigation to get a good education...the current {mayoral} administration has done nothing to improve our schools." 

      The current Mayor of Providence---Democrat Jorge Elorza---declined to comment on the case. It should be noted that Elorza is a former law professor and a graduate of Harvard. 

      Under the settlement, Providence Schools must:

1. Properly identify and place English Learners in all 41 Providence Schools; and work with parents to facilitate all available options.

2. Provide adequate English Language Services to all English Learners so to gain both proficiency and access to core grade-level instruction.

3. Hire a sufficient number of teachers certified in English as a Second Language. 

4. Monitor and evaluate programs for effectiveness. 

     The US Justice and Education Departments will of course monitor Providence's compliance with these conditions. 

     I've often believed that most complaints that Conservatives have about immigrants not assimilating is less the fault of the immigrants and more the fault of our public schools. Our schools teach them not to assimilate. In Providence though that's about to change.

ERIN SITH, REBEL-GIRL, AND THE WORLDCON 76 FIASCO

    With Vox Day's media 'empire' in a state of free-fall, the gang at Castalia House and Arkhaven are resorting to all sorts of desperate publicity stunts to draw attention to themselves---since most of their work seems to be beneath anybody's notice. Marvel and DC Comics, for example, have about 70% of US market-share in comics and graphic novels; yet Vox seriously believes that they feel threatened by his miniscule output. Just the other day, he actually claimed that a panel from DC's Border Town comic somehow referred to himself; even though the character in question was a high-school student.

    He's seen other such 'attacks' in various places, too. Consistent with such paranoia, he and his henchmen have also been attacking imaginary enemies. The WorldCon76  meeting in San Jose yesterday was the site of a protest (of sorts) organized by Jon Del Arroz, one of Vox' pawns. As it happened, threats of Antifa counter-protests sent a yellow streak up Mr. Del Arroz' spine; and he did his best imitation of The Flash breaking speed records blowing out of town.

     The protest was therefore left to one Erin Sith: a Red Pill man turned via surgery into a Red Pill girl. The protest was a total flop, with a little over three dozen people attending

       An associate who attended WorldCon came up with an interesting theory. He noted that there was an uncanny resemblance between Erin Sith and Alt-Hero's poster-girl, Rebel. Both are tallish redheads; both have a habit of beating up men:



     Both carry the same kinds of rifles:



       There even appears to be a facial likeness---at least both have the same expression:



     Finally, I always thought that Rebel was a little buff in the neck, shoulders, and upper arms:

     
      Could it really be that Arkhaven's lead female character is modeled on a tranny? It wouldn't be surprising given the kinds of weirdness going on in today's Manosphere.

DALROCK'S TROLL STORM TARGETS SHEILA GREGOIRE

      Dalrock is a Game/Red Pill blogger who purports to promote 'real' Christianity---mostly by discouraging men from visiting church and by attacking other Christian writers. This is especially true where female Christian writers are concerned. Dalrock and the fanatics who follow him hold to a radical view that women have no spiritual position in the church. 

      In an August 13th article titled Mama Ain't Happy, Dalrock helped incite a troll attack against Sheila Gregoire and her daughter, vlogger Katie Emmerson. These two women were responding to a widely-circulated article by Lori Alexander which suggested that Christian women should live up to man's standards rather than God's. The venom poured upon them by outraged Red Pills led them to speak out about maltreatment by these men; which in turn caused Dalrock and his sans-culottes to double-down with even more abuse.

      Dalrock posits his whole theory of 'biblical headship' on a mangling of about a half-dozen verses from the Epistles of Sts. Peter and Paul. It's noteworthy that he ignores the 2nd Epistle of St. John---which is clearly written to an Abbess. The Acts of the Apostles mention a similar assembly maintained by the daughters of St. Philip. He also ignores several much more clear passages illustrating that his position is wildly wrong.  

      The Gospel of St. Luke speaks of Anna, the prophetess, who visited the Infant Christ and "she gave thanks to God and prophesied about the Child to all who anticipated the redemption of Israel." (ii:38). 

      The Old Testament Prophet Joel states that: "And I will pour out my Spirit upon all people; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy...Even upon all my servants, men and women alike, I will pour out my Spirit in those days." (ii:28-29)

      As for women teaching even men, Judges ch.iv and II Kings ch.xxii depict the Jewish leaders seeking spiritual leadership from the prophetesses Deborah and Huldah. In the famous 31st Chapter of Proverbs, we are informed that "These are the words of King Lemuel; in an oracle taught him by his mother." (xxxi:1).

      The Bible in itself contains hymns and psalms from Miriam, Deborah, Hannah, Elizabeth, and Mary. 

       Katie Emmerson and Sheila Gregoire state that God forgives women who've sinned and Dalrock pours ridicule upon the idea. But the Gospel of St. Matthew doesn't. It lists four women in the genealogy of Christ: Tamara, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. All of these women had some very dark pasts, but all are called women of faith.

       The two most aggressive parties in the troll attack are Rollo Tomassi and The Red-Pilled Constantine, both of whom are notorious for this kind of behavior. Their arguments are absurd to say the least. Tomassi says:

      "MeToo will be the end of evangelical 'Christianity'. Women assuming headship and authority over the church is just a formality now. It has become openly hostile towards anything conventionally masculine, which is why men will continue to leave the church. It's by women, for women."

      Oh? So did Pope Francis start ordaining women and nobody told us? The church is not and never has been exclusively for one gender or the other. True, there is a division of duties in the Church; as St. Paul tells us, but each gender contributes its unique strengths. If men are leaving the church, it's because they are being encouraged to do so by apostates like Dalrock and Tomassi.   

      Here are TRP Constantine's words of wisdom: "To Sheila and the feminists here, this is where your journey ends; when you can't tell if the pastor is Lutheran or Wicca and religion is clitoris worship. Enjoy the ride, you pay at the last stop, where there will be Hell to pay!" And to think some people actually accuse the Red Pills of being angry and hateful...

      It should be pointed out that the Red Pill is much closer to feminism than Sheila Gregoire is; and that the 'Christian' bloggers in the movement are usually indistinguishable from Gnostic and other heresies. And the phallic worship on these sites is quite blatant. 

      There never was a time when the Church was free from sin; because humanity has never been free from it. Thus, there never was some Golden Age, from Eden onward, that these cults can bring us back to. The illusion that there was is responsible for the success of many such groups. But those who embrace reality embrace the True Faith.
