THE CASH BEHIND THE MADNESS

    Well, the news came down yesterday that, apparently feeling emboldened by Tuesday's disastrous Republican showing, the Left Wing of the Uniparty decided to ram through the Senate a Bill codifying homo 'marriage' as the Law of the Land. The measure passed by a 62-38 vote. That means, of course, that 12 GOP Senators sided with the measure. 

   It's a good thing that people vote Republican isn't it? See how many 'Conservatives' from the family-values Party opposed traditional marriage:

Mitt Romney (Utah)
Joni Ernst (Iowa)
Cynthia Lummis (Wyoming)
Roy Blunt (Missouri)
Shelley Moore Capito (West Virginia)
Lisa Murkowski (Alaska)
Rob Portman (Ohio)
Dan Sullivan (Alaska)
Thom Tillis (North Carolina)
Todd Young (Indiana)
Susan Collins (Maine)

  This shouldn't surprise anyone really. When the Supreme Court unilaterally imposed Marriage 'equality', there were enough States with pro-family marriage laws and a GOP-controlled Congress to have overturned the Court decision with a Constitutional Amendment. But the GOP leadership would hear none of it. 

  Although there has never been the slightest evidence that homosexuality is a normal, healthy, or desirable lifestyle, the push for its acceptance has been marked with an extraordinary level of fanaticism. In fact, whether one supports or opposes so-called 'equality' seems to have become a focal point in determining one's ideological purity. It certainly has become so in our age of Scientism. Anyone who dares promote what was established science of just two decades ago is summarily run out of Academia Incorporated by our new Dark Ages' Sacerdotal Class. The situation has become so extreme that even the vaunted professionals here in the greatest healthcare system in the world dare not even pronounce an infant's gender at birth lest the little one at some future point should decide to override the doctor's opinion. 

     
    Actually. in fairness to the witch-doctors of the past, even they were arguably more productive to society than today's practitioners of Scientism. Our forefathers visited these shamans for things like fertility, as opposed their postmodern counterparts who claim that Abortion and birth control are actually safe. They sought the witch-doctor for help with love and family, while our enlightened high priests sow gender dysphoria and corrupt family dynamics. Our ancestors sought cures for diseases; today the medicine-men promote unsafe vaccines and Scamdemic hysteria. In the past, the people sought the aid of spirits for bountiful harvests and successful hunts, postmodern Scientism tells us that productivity causes environmental disasters. Tribal doctors prescribed healing herbs: Scientism dispenses mind-altering narcotics. The major similarity between the two is that both are extremely intolerant of other theories and both mandate masks. 

   Primitive witch-doctors hadn't discovered many of the laws of Nature, hence many of their formulas and rituals failed. Their modern counterparts are failing too. Despite cancelling Biology and Psychology, homosexuals continue to have among the highest rates of depression, addiction, suicides, violence, disease, and premature deaths among their demographic. They continue to be an antisocial and disruptive element in every community. Not that the Corporate Media is going to report that; nor Academic Incorporated going to teach it. 


  Less than ten years ago, however, all of those negatives were routinely spoken of as alleged consequences of 'discrimination.' No sooner had a 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court decision mandating 'equality' (which in reality is all the 'science' that homo equality is based upon) that such problems completely vanished from public discourse. The so-called AIDS Epidemic, for example, has gone away as suddenly as it appeared. Anyone challenging the glories of the 'Gay Lifestyle' summarily were silenced. Nature, though, is not being silenced: and there is nothing glamorous about Gender Dysphoria---the opinion of five judges to the contrary notwithstanding.

   How did such an obviously counterintuitive position gain any currency---let alone become dogma---in American society today? One reason is that there are consequences for opposing it, and most Americans are cowards. The other is that society has thrown many artificial complications into normal gender relationships; and Americans always look for an easy, no-strings-attached solution to their problems. As usual, though, it's a matter of following the money. 

   Organizations like the World Economic Forum promote the homo agenda because it's profitable for big corporations to do so. Schwab and his gangsters noted the (real) science that homosexuals are more loyal to their demographic than to nations or communities and wrote in 2017 that "companies openly championing LGBT rights are reaping the benefits. LGBT customers are among the most loyal: they reward companies who have got their back, even if this means spending more on their shopping basket. A big basket, if you consider that in the US alone, the spending power of the LGBT community is calculated in the region of $800 billion a year." The same holds true of employees as well. Homosexuals tend to support institutions where their numbers have power; the Corporate Media being a prime example of this phenomenon. A provider with a family too is more likely to unionize or insist upon living wages and benefits than a largely unattached single workforce.

    The WEF also pursues a policy of depopulation---for which homosexuality is especially well-fitted. Despite all of their blather about climate and resources, depopulation is basically an economic issue. As wealth becomes more concentrated, unemployment and indigence expands; hence supporting a large number of nonproductive citizens increases the tax burden and cuts into the profit-margins of the stakeholders. Rather than creating economic opportunity (which might challenge their authority), the Oligarchs find it more expedient to cull the herd and remove its useless eaters. Before the usual crowd starts huffing about tin-foil hats, note that this is already happening in Canada. 

  Many of these same vested interests have the power to buy off corrupt Academics and politicians. The American Psychological Foundation, for example, threw a couple of hundred years of research under the bus and today accepts homosexuality as 'normal.' Activists are quick to point that out: but they discreetly don't mention that homosexual activist NGOs like the Arcus Corporation are among the APF's major funding sources. Likewise, the medical establishment is financed by these same activist groups; not to mention Big Pharma which is cashing in heavily on things like hormonal therapies and antidepressant psych-dope. 

  Politicians likewise are financially compromised. OpenSecrets reports that homosexual activist organizations were retaining 33 Beltway lobbyists---over half of whom are revolving-door former federal bureaucrats---to the tune of $2 million annually. Since 1990, the political class has raked in almost $50,000,000 for their subservience to the homo agenda---the amount from perks, shady side-deals, and sexual blackmail, no one knows.  

  Lest anyone imagine that activities like Drag Queen Story Hour are promoted by well-meaning and disinterested educators, consider the donors' list in San Francisco alone, where the outbreak of this insanity first started. Not to mention that so-called Pride Parades are hardly grassroots community-driven events either. With this kind of cash at stake, it's scarcely any wonder what's actually driving the settled science of homo equality. 

  Unfortunately with this kind of money and power involved, the average Ameroboob is going to continue looking the other way, and pretending that homo 'equality' is a new normal that we'll all just have to learn to live with.

IN YET ANOTHER STRANGE ELECTION

   While Democrats and Republicans are once again demonstrating the {ahem} 'superiority' of our electoral process with 24/7 finger-pointing, accusations of fraud, and lagging vote-counts; there's been another election of sorts which has stirred up a controversy on social media. I'm referring of course to a Miss America Pageant (yes they still have those in the PC United States) which was won by a rather porcine male who identified as female. 

    As a sheer act of humanity, I won't post its photo here, though there is one on the link. Meanwhile a musical intermezzo might explain the situation better.

    The article points out that "Before becoming president of the United States, Donald Trump co-owned the Miss Universe franchise. Earlier this month, Thailand’s first billionaire – a transgender media mogul called Jakkaphong ‘Anne’ Jakrajutatip – bought the company for $20million. The 43-year-old has already scooped up prizes and accolades meant for successful women, and has been widely celebrated as the competition’s first ‘female’ owner." Rather like Bruce Jenner being hailed as 'Woman of the Year' by several media outlets a few years ago; and more recently men-who-identify-as-women smashing several Women's Sports records. 

   This phenomenon has actually gained something of a pushback from Radical Feminists who are finding out the hard way what it's felt like to be a man for the last three decades. The Feminists who object to this form of discrimination 'inclusion' are derisively referred to by the Tech Lords and Social Media Secret Police as TERFS. This is the second thing that Feminists are learning the hard way: that the Left has no loyalty to its allies once they've served their purpose. 

   The first indication that things were going sideways for the Radical Feminists was their notable lack of appointments to the new government after the November 2020 putsch in favor of a notable percentage of the Gay Mafia being elevated to powerful offices. The decline really began in late Obama's term when it became unmistakably apparently that the NWO Agenda was to replace genders---literally---women as well as men. From the 1970s onwards, the Radical Feminists laid the groundwork for their own demise: denigrating women's social roles, disempowering men, pushing anti-family agendas, reducing gender to a mere social construct, etc. Now that they paved the way for the Gay Mafia to set the new normals. As far as the Oligarchy's concerned, the Radical Feminists have done their work and now they are expendable. 

   


   While I don't think that one can muster too much sympathy over the downfall of Radical Feminism; we do need to be aware that what's replacing it is a lot worse. We ought to note as well that if this is how 'woke' Leftist ideologues treat their friends, imagine what they intend to do to their enemies. 

   At the same time, I can't bring much sympathy to the table for the women being cheated out of positions once reserved for females. For the last several decades, American women have gone along wholeheartedly with the Feminist Agenda. When marginalizing men was in their interest, hijacking 'male space' and unequal preferences for women were all fine with American women. Hillary and Oprah were great role-models for our daughters, "strong independent women who knew how to put Chad and Tyrone in their places and crush that evil Patriarchy (which actually never existed). Well: that's just too bad. Maybe if we had a few 'strong males' still around, there would somebody willing to defend the fair sex and respect female spaces. 

  Unfortunately, such male voices fell the victim of Feminist-inspired cancel culture. Dead White Males who actually studied these subjects could have told you that the homosexual has a marked contempt for traditional gender roles and that masculine and feminine psychology are two different things---that shoehorning women into social roles meant for men was going to lead to terrible social consequences. But that didn't matter as long as women got power over men via things like legal abortion, unequal divorce and custody laws, the ability to use rubber terms like sexual misconduct as a weapon, and Affirmative Action. 

   Maybe now that American women have had an opportunity to walk a mile in his shoes, some semblance of Reality might start sinking into their brains. But we're not holding our breath.

THE RED WAVE FIZZLES OUT

   Unlike a lot of writers, I actually hate it sometimes when my predictions come true. All year long, I've been saying---to the chagrin of the die-hard Republican loyalists---that there would be no 'Red Wave' in November, and there wasn't. Outside of a few states controlled by the Bush Machine (e.g. Florida, Texas, and Ohio), the GOP repeated 2021 and got beaten pretty much everywhere else. 

  As of this writing, and as predicted, the GOP lost governorships, failed to take the Senate, and may have (and probably did) fail to take the House. This against a bunch of very vulnerable and defeatable Democratic candidates. 

  The vultures in the Corporate Media are of course delighted; and have already begun spinning their talking-points. Just as predictably none of their reasons are even close to the truth. Here are a few of them:

   1. Voters were outraged over the repeal of Roe vs. Wade. Killing babies is such a high priority to these fanatics, they think it's true of everybody else. The reality is that even their own polls showed that just recently abortion wasn't a high priority for voters. In fact, several independent polls suggest that most Americans actually agree with the Court's decision.

  2. That the claims of the 2020 Election Fraud were seen as extreme by the voters. In actuality, outside of solid Democratic strongholds, this wasn't considered an extreme position at all. By my informal count so far, about a dozen successful State and local candidates for Secretary of State (the people who certify elections) are so-called 'election deniers.' 

   3. Orange Man Bad. The Media was quick to pounce on the fact that many of Trump's endorsed candidates were defeated. They also discreetly overlooked the fact that many of President-in Exile's endorsed candidates actually won. 

   Now for the real reasons:

  1. I think that---with the possible exception of the 1996 Bob Dole Campaign---the Republicans managed to run one of the most inept campaigns in recent history. Symbolism over Substance was the dominant theme. They criticized the Junta, but failed to come up with a single viable solution for solving any of the problems they addressed; other than vague threats of series of future pointless investigations and hearings.

  2. The Republicans failed to stand for issues important to anybody. They mostly crawfished on Roe v. Wade; never criticized the Scamdemic (although the Democrats handed them a plea for 'amnesty' on a silver platter). Failing schools, wealth-redistribution to Corporate America, and collapsing infrastructure went unaddressed. 

  3. They ran incompetent candidates. Dr. Oz, Herschel Walker, Kari Lake and other 'celebrities' who are good at making speeches and nothing else. They also ran several Alt-Right candidates who actually energized independents to vote against them.

  4. They failed to address voter integrity. While the overall campaign was so poorly managed that the usual Voter Fraud wasn't as conspicuous as usual; nonetheless most candidates ran as though 2018 and 2020 never happened and expected the DNC Machine to play fair. 

  All of these factors had one significant result: they failed to win Independents and average Americans. While the strategy worked fairly well for GOP Governors who were never-Trumpers and lockdown thugs themselves (e.g. DeWine, Dunlevy, McMaster, Abbott, Ivey, Sununu, Little) Conservatives and Constitutionalists  suffered the brunt. In fine, the Right lost and wholly deserved to lose.

  This is what the American Right gets for trying to beat the Left at their own Game; for trying to game the system instead of making it work; for trying to prove that they were the biggest Alphas on the block (even if a few were 'strong independent women' lol) and being 'tougher' than the already-ruthless Democrats; for running candidates with big mouths and no brains; for leaving treacherous RINOs and Neocons in important positions; and for thinking that all we lacked are 'leaders' upon whom they could shove responsibility for their own problems. 

  The American People in general may have a lot of faults, but to their credit they generally don't like bullies and jerks. Running an election on a platform of being a bigger bully and a jerk than the incumbents is rarely a winning strategy. Don't think that wasn't a factor in exit-polls about voters 'fearing for the future of Democracy' although the MSM is going to spin it in the opposite direction and blame Trump and the Jan 6 Protesters. 

  The aftermath of this failure to grip Reality is going to be a major disaster. Now the Junta---with their Media parrots squawking in unison---can pretend that they have a popular mandate to march forward with their Great Reset schemes. It makes no difference if the GOP manages to squeak out a one-or-two vote Congressional Majority: Congress will be so gridlocked that nothing will come of it. The Junta's terrible poll numbers demonstrate that they really have no such mandate; but that won't matter to them since they lack any opposition. 

  The worst mistake that the Right can make now is accepting the inevitable repeat of 2020 and listening to hired pundits who want to blame Trump and move away from Trumpism and back towards Bush Machine Neoconservatism. In the next few weeks, expect a major push from the Controlled Opposition Media in that very direction. The upcoming months will tell us whether the Right has learned anything from 2020 and 2022 or not.

SCAMDEMIC AMNESTY'S HOLLOW REFRAIN

     Right before the 'election' tomorrow, Emily Oster, an economics professor at the once-prestigious Brown University penned an article in the once-prestigious Atlantic Magazine calling upon us all to forgive the Crimes Against Humanity committed during the Scamdemic. Bjorn Bull-Hansen and Tricia's blog did a good job of refuting the arguments made. If it were up to me personally, the perpetrators of the COVID Scam would be brought before an International Tribunal, restitutions paid, and Government PSAs educating the public of the dangers of mass-hysteria would be run.

     
   To my mind, this call for 'amnesty' is a red herring. There will never be accountability for the crimes committed during the COVID Scam because both parties were deeply involved in it and both profited economically and politically from it. It was probably considered politically expedient to relax some of the more draconian rules before an election. But it ought to be observed that no States have dismantled their 'emergency' infrastructures; nor have there been any hearings or calls for justice; nor any widespread lifting of Loyalty Vaxx requirements; in fact, at the Federal Level the push for the Loyalty Vaxx has actually intensified. In other words, tomorrow's Election isn't as important as what's coming the day after tomorrow.

   Less than six months before these fake calls for 'amnesty' Bill Gates was already advertising a plan to deal with the next Scamdemic. It's quite telling that the amnesty article was published in The Atlantic, which itself is a subsidiary of the Emerson Collective: an organization deeply tied to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Emerson Collective's owner and CEO Laurene Powell-Jobs is the widow of Tech Lord Steve Jobs and recently called by Forbes Magazine "the 29th most powerful woman in the world." According to OpenSecrets, Powell-Jobs is a substantial donor to the Democrat Machine. According to Inside Philanthropy, Emerson Collective is the least transparent about its spending.

   What we do know about Emerson Collective is that its Board is packed with Deep State operatives, and that Powell-Jobs is also on the Board of Deep State milieu The Council on Foreign Relations. So why would a media outlet this deeply embedded with the Establishment be calling for an 'amnesty' for COVID extremists?

   I believe that the answer is simply, that they don't really mean it. It's part of a propaganda push to create the illusion of "returning to normal" while at the same time agitating for "tolerance" when the hammer comes down again. Authors like these no doubt will, in the future, be lecturing dissenters on how we've all "learned from our mistakes" even though---if Gates' plan is any indication---the next 'Emergency Response' will make 2020 look mild by comparison. This was a tactic frequently employed by Iron Curtain despotisms during the Cold War. The State would declare an 'emergency' followed by a brutal crackdown; then would temporarily relax its restrictions until coming down even harder the next time. Corrupt psychologists had learned that Totalitarianism could be more accepted by the general public if gradually imposed with brief periods of leniency than by simply coming with sheer force as the Hitler Regime did. The Third Reich's methods bred rebellion in occupied countries, the Communist method gained gradual apathy and compliance. The pattern is familiar to anyone who's studied abusive relationships on an interpersonal level. The NWO/Great Reset thugs merely want to expand it to national and ultimately to global levels. 


     Part of this same strategy is the employment of mixed messages. At the same time part of the Mainstream Media is calling for amnesty and forgiveness, the other part is bracing us for the next 'emergency.'

    "According to mainstream media, hospitalizations for respiratory infections are on the rise and 'experts' warn of a potential 'tripledemic' this winter, as COVID-19, seasonal influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are all in circulation...As predicted, 'health experts' are starting to call for voluntary indoor masking again...The fact that RSV is now being highlighted as a severe risk is understandable in light of the fact that the first-ever RSV vaccines are now in the pipeline. According to CNN, four different RSV shots are 'nearing review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)' and more than a dozen others are in trials."

   The Corporate Media dutifully sings the refrain: "With few to no restrictions in place and travel and socializing back in full swing, an expected winter rise in Covid cases appears poised to collide with a resurgent influenza season, causing a “twindemic” — or even a “tripledemic,” with a third pathogen, respiratory syncytial virus, or R.S.V., in the mix!" (the New York Times) "A 'tripledemic' of flu, RSV and COVID feared in California as a confluence of respiratory illnesses has some California officials warning of a possible triple threat that could strain healthcare systems!" (the Los Angeles Times) "The U.S. could very well face what has been dubbed a 'tripledemic' this winter, with cases of COVID-19, the flu and a virus called respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) surging at the same time!" (CBS News) 

  And from Louisville we already see lockdowns: "Dozens of Kentucky school districts shut down as health officials warn of 'tripledemic!"scream the headlines. If anyone needs a reminder of what an absolute bastard the Governor of Kentucky was during the last round, read here. But no worries: if we have that Red Wave tomorrow, Kentucky's Senator will be leading the resistance, right? 


   Anyone still want to argue that we're really going back to normal? Anybody still want to pretend that "Americans will soon get to cast their first votes since the science-denying COVID mask and vaccine mandates, the second wave of COVID-related blowout spending and subsequent inflation, and the COVID-related school closures that allowed parents to see what the public schools are really teaching their boys and girls—including that they can choose whether they are boys or girls." is actually going to make the slightest difference on so-called Election Day? 

   The frank reality is that Americans mostly do not care. We wouldn't be in this situation if they did. No matter which wing of the Uniparty is allowed to 'win' tomorrow, it's not going to stop Scamdemic 2.0. As we've been saying for the past two years now: start networking, start developing parallel communities and economies, and forget this 'business as usual' delusion. Disconnect, disengage, disunite as much as possible. No 'Red Wave' (if it happens at all) is going to save us.

SEASON OF THE SCAPEGOAT

     With a midterm 'election' supposedly taking place next Tuesday, it's begun to dawn upon the Controlled Opposition Republican Party leadership that their abject failure to address voter fraud or to come up with a viable program has greatly diminished their delusions of a 2022 Red Wave. It's gotten so bad that the Democrat nominee for Pennsylvania's Senate Seat nearly died during the campaign and is still beating the Hollywood goofball who the GOP considered a viable candidate.

    Issues are problematic for the Republicans right now. They can't address the illegality of the 2020 Coup, since they all went along with it. They can't address the Scamdemic or the staged George Floyd riots for the same reason. They can't talk about 'swamp draining' because they sabotaged Trump's efforts to do it. They can't bring up supporting families, small businesses, or American jobs because they've failed to do anything during the times they've held power. 

  Occasionally, they talk about limited educational reform---while discreetly not mentioning that they---not the Left demanded public schools reopen with business as usual. Sometimes they still mention Right to Life even though after 50 years of inactivity, they've only managed to outlaw abortion in about a dozen states. Healthcare reform has fallen off the radar screen for obvious reasons. They do bring up fighting crime although their past support for Bush's expansion of the Security-Surveillance State is a thorny issue. They can't even address runaway inflation since the last time it actually was this bad was during Bush's term. Even their positions on Foreign Policy are not radically different from the Junta's. 

   So taking a page from the Democrat Playbook, they decided to create a 'crisis' from a relatively minor issue. One can barely listen to any GOP candidate without endless horror being raised about 'an invasion of illegal immigrants' along our 'porous Southern Border;' despite the fact that per capita numbers of illegals in the United States hasn't changed significantly in over 25 years. 


    Illegal immigrants, according to GOP Establishment, are responsible for everything just about anyone has a complaint about. One would reasonably assume that---given the current degeneracy of American Culture---Conservatives would actually welcome an injection of new people into it. However, such is not the case. 

  Immigrants are blamed for doing things like stealing American jobs, although nobody seems overly concerned with outsourcing and offshoring most of our skilled labor; or that most jobs that immigrants take don't seem to appeal to the estimated 20% of native-born who are on public assistance. Immigrants are also accused of swelling our welfare rolls despite the fact that, in most states, they are ineligible to receive it. 

  Despite the fact that one rarely sees an overwhelming number of foreigners at so-called Pride Parades or Antifa/BLM rallies, illegal immigrants are often accused of corrupting our culture. While it is true that foreign-backed (i.e. supranational) entities are deeply involved in Big Media, the Academic Mafia, and Beltway Lobbying, there doesn't seem to be that much concern about such entities' impacts on our culture as working-class people not speaking English in their homes.

  Immigrants are also blamed for high crime rates. This is a notion being pushed by Arizona Governor Ducey (and his would-be successor, Kari Lake), Texas Governor Abbott, and Florida Governor DeSantis---all of whom are involved in re-election bids. Areavibes' website, awkwardly enough, gives us a slightly different picture of crime in towns along the US-Mexico Border: 

Chula Vista, California: 42% lower than California average

San Diego, California: 20% lower than California average

El Centro, California: 2% higher than California average

Calexico, California: 15% lower than California average

Yuma, Arizona: 10% lower than Arizona average

Douglas, Arizona: 5% lower than Arizona average

Sierra Vista, Arizona: 16% lower than Arizona average

Lordsburg, New Mexico: 36% lower than New Mexico average

El Paso, Texas: 42% lower than Texas average

Del Rio, Texas: 35% lower than Texas average

Eagle Pass, Texas: 26% lower than Texas average

Brownsville, Texas: 16% lower than Texas average

   It would seem that Governors Ducey and Abbott are speaking with a forked tongue about immigrants' impact on their respective states' crime rates, In fact, a more cynical mind might be inclined to believe that their hostility about immigration is a diversion from their own failed attempts to control crime in the rest of their states.  The same might be said for Florida Governor DeSantis, who's made a grand show of the anti-immigrant carnival, and whose state has a higher crime rate than Texas and Arizona combined though Florida is bordered mostly by the ocean.

  Republicans who have been noticeably silent on the suppression of the Canadian Truckers Protests (as well as other human rights violations committed by our neighbor to the North) also discreetly overlook the fact that Canadians illegally in the United States outnumber Mexicans about 2:1. The fact that we also import about 40% of our oil from Canada, is probably only a coincidence in that minor oversight.

  For all the bowtie-clutching about the 'risk of terrorism' consider that it would be much easier for a Middle Eastern extremist to cross the Northern border and assimilate into the large Islamic communities in Buffalo, Detroit, Minneapolis, or Seattle than to try and pose as a migrant farm-worker and hide out in a mostly Hispanic community. It takes a real blockhead not to see that, despite their similar complexions, there's a major difference between an Hispanic and an Arab. 

 The fact that, unlike our native-born population, most immigrants seem to be very strongly pro-family and religious, doesn't seem to stop Churchians and Neocons from wanting them out of the country (much like their blind hatred for Russia---which has a much more effective and Conservative social policy). This despite the fact that prophets like Moses stated that "When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God," or Malachi who warned, "I will be a swift witness against... those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against ... those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts." Or, for that matter, the Biblical Book of Ruth where one of the ancestors of Jesus proudly married an immigrant girl. 

  Besides their hypocrisy and duplicity, the RINO Right likes to engage in fantasies about mass-deportations of illegals without, of course, considering the realistic consequences of such a policy. Aside from the humanitarian disaster of displacing 12,000,000 people, there are several other disasters which would occur. It's fair to assume that industries that are largely dependent on the hard work of illegal immigrants would collapse, or at least suffer a major setback. Despite many of the jobs done by immigrants being low pay and long hours, they do require skill and training. Replacing a huge number of people picking strawberries or processing meat on short notice is next to impossible; not to mention replacing trained construction and textile workers. 

   On top of that, the cost of deportation would be massive; law enforcement would need a huge amount of extra resources and manpower to put deportation into practice, This would involve a massive expansion of the police/ surveillance state---a very high price to pay for alleged 'security' as the 1990s 'Drug War' and Post-9/11 policies have clearly demonstrated.

  Many children of immigrants are natural-born US citizens, via the 14th Amendment's Citizenship clause. Hence, blanket deportation of illegal immigrants would involve expelling the parents of citizens, leaving millions with the choice of exile or living as orphans. While that would be a major boon to the perverts and human traffickers in our so-called 'child welfare' system; it would be an issue fought out in Courts over their legal status for decades.

  Maybe instead of hunting for scapegoats, native-born Americans could do something about fixing their own work-ethics, familial breakdowns, and propensity towards addiction and crime? Maybe if immigrant children aren't assimilating, we should do something about our schools and universities---which are filling our own kids' empty skulls with Critical Race Theory, Cultural Marxism, and other pseudoscientific nonsense? 

  I strongly suspect that at the root of this latest round of Xenophobia (and that includes our Foreign Policy) is the realization---at least on a subconscious level---that our generation post-WW2 has failed; and we're seeing that reflected when matched against other cultures. Because the fact is that the problems that our politicians blame on immigrants are problems we've created for ourselves. 

  Of course, it wouldn't do for the political class---Left or Right---to campaign for reelection by telling their constituents that it's their own fault if the country's headed in the wrong direction; that the thing to do is start acting like grown-ups, and stop expecting the State to do all of their work for them. It's what the American people actually need to hear; but any politician who dared to say so would find himself cancelled and would likely consider himself fortunate if such cancellation stopped short of homicide. 

   It's really become a toss-up at this point---not as to which party will be appointed win on Tuesday, but which is the least dangerous. Until Americans wake up to the reality that both parties actually represent our own worst tendencies, we can't expect positive change.

INDIAN SUMMER AND THE REAL WORLD

   So, we're back from an Indian Summer vacation. Autumn got off to a late start here, so it was nice to have good weather through October as we have. Then it was back to the 'scene'. During the interval, the usual happened. The news was the usual cycle of mass-shootings, the Great Reset marching on, ridiculous sex scandals, and an absolutely meaningless election next month. And, of course, it's all Russia's, or China's, or immigrants', or Biden's, or Trump's fault depending on whichever reliable source one chooses to listen to. 

   

   And, yes, I did say a meaningless election. I realize that the talking-points of both factions of the Uniparty claim this is "the most important election of our lifetime": something they've said about every election that I can remember. With a strong plurality of Americans completely blown out on drugs---to the point where 1 in 20 can't even identify their own gender---we can't expect anyone to remember 2020 all that clearly, let alone 2018 and beyond.

   I'm tending to agree with Norwegian author Bjorn Bull-Hansen that the further we get away from Nature, the further we drift away from any sense of Reality. I don't mean this in the same sense that the Climate-Crisis kooks mean it. Cities, electricity, highways, mass-communications, factories, chemicals, jets: these aren't bad things. What I'm referring to is the growing danger to our Republic of a people increasingly unaware of how Nature operates and increasingly out of touch with a sense of Cause and Effect. How is self-government supposed to function in a society where many (if not most) have no idea how babies are made, how the weather works, how money is created, or how food is produced? 

  The Election 'issues' are a case in point. The Whacko Left Wing is fighting for the 'right' to abort babies even though not a single one of them has the slightest idea of why that might be a desirable thing. They also fear 'racism' and 'extremism' though nobody can define what either of those things actually mean. As for the Controlled Opposition, they promise us at least two more years of useless investigations and silly impeachment attempts. That, and vowing to crack down on immigration and stop being such weenies when confronting our foreign 'enemies' like Russia and China. Never mind that none of that will fix our failing schools, corrupt legal establishment, encourage families or small businesses, reverse out-of-control crime and drug addiction, or renovate our collapsing infrastructure. 

  If polls generated by the Mainstream Media can be believed, inflation and cost-of-living issues are the most important. It may be so, but what solutions have we been offered? The Democrats want more taxing and spending, which will make the problem worse. The Republicans want to give away even more government to Corporate America, which will also make the problem worse. 

  In fact, the problem with the American Right is that it largely has become what it once opposed. We only have to look at most 'Conservative' websites to see this clearly. 

  1. The Right, during the Trump years criticized the Democrat lie that the 2016 Election was stolen with Russian collusion. Today they promote the lie that 2020 was stolen with Chinese collusion. That it was stolen largely by supranational Corporate bureaucrats goes ignored. 

 2. The Right has criticized the January 6 Show-Trials and other political pogroms being launched by the Junta. Their solution? Put the Left on show-trials and use the Surveillance/Security State against them.

 3. The Right raised alarm about the draconian proposals to segregate and disenfranchise those who refused the Loyalty Vaxx. They see no problem however, with depriving immigrants of employment and loading them on buses and dumping them somewhere else.

 4. The Right criticized the Whacko Left's movement to defund the police, yet they are openly calling for the abolition of the FBI. No talk, however, about dismantling Bush-era expansions of federal secret police forces and domestic espionage systems which actually do trample on American Rights and do nothing to fight actual crime (e.g. DHS, ICE, TSA, etc.)

 5. The Right criticizes Cancel Culture, yet seems to want to employ political litmus tests for federal funding, tax breaks, and government contracts themselves. Nobody is asking whether any of this funding, unequal taxation, or outsourcing of government functions should be legal in the first place.

   The worst feature of the Postmodern Right though is it's increasing disregard for any sense of tolerance and compromise---or the consequences of any of their actions. If one actually presents them facts; say, the humanitarian disaster that would follow mass-deportations and disenfranchisement of immigrants (not to mention the sheer cost and impact on small businesses and larger farms); the response is typically something like an indifferent shrug. "Oh well, that's their problem." 

  The same with banning abortion (which I do favor). A ban on abortion would increase our badly-declining birth rates, but admittedly children are expensive. Suggesting a sensible policy like Russia's of extending their version of AFDC to all mothers---which has actually encouraged childbirth and traditional families there---is met with horror. "No way! That's increasing welfare!" So, I suppose that instead of more women at home raising families, the solution is to put them in the fields to pick the tomatoes that the migrant farm workers are no longer allowed to do. 

   

    I think that if anyone analyzes the attitudes of most Postmodern 'Conservatives' one will see that they've actually internalized the predominate Liberal mythology that socioeconomic issues are a zero-sum game. The Left reflexively and uncritically believes that someone else's prosperity comes at the expense of others. The Right has adopted the same philosophy, and assume that our recent socioeconomic decline is because the poor and working classes are demanding too much; or that an 'invasion' of immigrants is responsible. In a corrupt system like ours has become, it's easy to see how such conclusions might be reached; but neither the productive rich nor the working poor are to blame. 

  We can see this zero-sum mentality played out in obvious relief in foreign policy. It's assumed that Chinese economic growth or Russia's successful social programs represent a loss for the United States. Instead of learning from what they've done to succeed or fixing our own problems, the Right engages in the politics of envy, and makes these countries 'enemies' out of sheer jealousy. They demonize immigrants for the same reason: the strong religious, family, and work ethic brought in from the so-called Third World exposes American deficiency in all of these areas.

  None of this projection, of course, is solving (or going to solve) any of our national problems, because none of it addresses problems which Americans face as a whole. It's all about owning the Libtards---not by proving or offering a better plan, but by engaging in 'political theater'; i.e. getting the dupes to buy a message spun by Madison Avenue marketing firms and social media. As Jonah Goldberg, formerly of the National Review said, “As the country’s become more polarized, and we reward the outrageous beyond its worst, you get this race-to-the-bottom competitiveness, where people want to get noticed and have to be even more outrageous than the next person.” Nikki Haley, the former UN Ambassador, told a group of students recently that, "owning the libs is fun and that it can feel good, but step back and think about what you’re accomplishing when you do this — are you persuading anyone? Who are you persuading? … We’ve all been guilty of it at some point or another, but this kind of speech isn’t leadership — it’s the exact opposite.”

   That sort of advice falls upon deaf ears these days because, as noted, people mostly have lost any sense of Cause and Effect. We could defeat the NWO Left by exposing what they are, defeating them with logic, and offering a better way that addresses many of their concerns. But that strategy is not 'Alpha' for the postmodern Right: and they would rather show that they can be more extreme and more ruthless than the Left. This has been tried before and failed. Right-Wing European politicians tried it during the 1930s as the antidote to the extremism of Communist movements. The result? By the 1940s, they'd made Joseph Stalin and Chairman Mao look like political moderates. 

   That's going to be the same result if the postmodern Right continues on its current course. It's one thing to listen to Left-Wing pundits spout off about throwing the Unvaxxed out of society; it's another thing to watch Republican governors actually do it to immigrants and realizing the truth that mere talk and concrete actions are two different things. We don't need---or want---a Right-Wing version of Justin Trudeau in the United States. People will naturally choose what they perceive to be the lesser of two evils: the relative safety of Socialism will draw more votes than the brutality of Fascism. Maybe our side's strategy should be to offer something other than an alternative evil. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem like it's going to happen any time soon.

ON PERISCOPES OR SOMETHING

   Blogger InsanityBytes had a fun post up today about some of the further misadventures of Red Pill orbiter Doug Wilson. I'm not going to go too deeply into Wilson's strange theologies, but his use of the term perpilocutionist caught my attention. If you've studied Latin, you can have hours of entertainment trying to decipher its meaning. More likely, Wilson's readers will just take it for granted that Wilson understands it and therefore must be smarter than them and therefore what he says about it must be true---whether one understands what he's saying or not. 

  This is another example of a trend that I noticed appearing a little over a decade ago. First it started among Libertarian blogs and articles and then among the Red Pill Cult; and now it's starting to see some prevalence among mainstream Conservative and Churchian sites. The trend is to employ these big, obscure words that no one uses or understands to gain credibility. We used to have a big, though more common word for that too: pretentious. 

   It's bad enough that the Left does this; although their method is to make simpler sounding words (or neologisms, if you prefer). Terms like homophobia, sexism, gender essentialism, denialism---none of these expressions mean anything, but they are thrown around authoritatively as if they were real concepts. Most NPCs on the Left couldn't explain any of them if asked to do so; but they will assure us that smart people have a consensus that they are very bad things. 

  All of this reminds me of a story from the Old Country that aged relatives passed on to me. A corrupt priest who'd been run out of Central America came back to the Parish with some quetzal feathers that he'd obtained. He convinced the poor dupes in the rural European towns---where most people were still serfs who'd never travelled further than 10 miles from home in their lives and could barely sign their own names---that these were feathers from the Angel Gabriel. They would pay him to touch the holy relics while he recited some arcane terms in Latin (which turned out to be lines from the Roman comedian Plautus; this guy truly had no shame). This happened around the time of the French Revolution and a visiting scholar exposed the fraud. The only feathers the priest ended up with were attached to him with a good coat of tar. 

   The moral of this story is that during the larger social upheaval in France afterwards, memories of things like that didn't exactly win the Church very many supporters. It's bound to backfire on the postmodern political/social Right too. We expect the Left to use dirty tricks with the language, bend laws, ignore principles to get what they want. The tactics, however, are not consistent with public perceptions of what a Conservative should be doing. It makes the leadership look like complete hypocrites and their supporters look like a bunch of ignorant peasants and plays into all the negative Leftist narratives and stereotypes. We forget sometimes that Leftist philosophy is heavily based in Cynicism, and when those on the Right adopt the means of the Left that tends to reinforce the already-low opinion most Liberals entertain about human nature. 

  Overall, I believe that there are three reasons why we're seeing these kinds of trends on the Right:

   1. Many on the Right have internalized the values of the Left. This is very apparent with the Manosphere Red Pills who've essentially absorbed Radical Feminism and re-packaged it. We're starting to see this ugly trend manifested in 'Conservative' social policy like embracing Cancel Culture, Lawfare, and imposing their own versions of the Left's authoritarianism. 

   2. Many on the Right believe that Conservatism has failed. While Conservatism preaches life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness based on the universal equality of man; this idea has been drifting steadily into the Alpha superman ideal where Might Makes Right and into a crude version of Social Darwinism where ruthless competition and the 'survival of the fittest' are justifications for the strong to lord over the weak, This is a concept also imported from the Red Pill Cult. The only real criticism that most of this philosophy has with the Left is that they consider the Liberals to be too weak, too concerned with compassion and even 'social justice' which they've turned into a pejorative term. 

  3. Many on the Right actually do have contempt for the Common Man. The Neocons and Bush-Republicans stand out here; but the so-called Alt-Right is also quite open about displaying it. They talk about controlling the narrative regardless of any truth involved in it. Like the Left does, their whole intent is to deceive, because at heart they don't believe the average man intelligent enough to decide what is for his own good. 

  All of this is bad enough, but the Red Pill goal is to change ordinary men into manly Alpha leaders who dominate their inferiors: their families, co-workers, etc. The Alpha is a blend of faux Stoicism, unbridled selfishness, and a tendency to see others as subhumans. Needless to say, such an outlook doesn't promote things like love for one's neighbor or empathy---which the Alpha considers weak and effeminate values. Once a man becomes an Alpha, he really has nothing more to do than reign as supreme lord over those in his own ego-field and contemplate his superiority over the average human. 

  Naturally, the only person capable of actually governing a nation of Alphas is an Uber-Alpha (or Sigma, as Vox Day calls this type). This is somebody strong and ruthless enough that other Alphas automatically submit to his authority and well, I think that we can all see where this sort of thinking leads.


   This is the point where abusing terminology actually becomes dangerous. We've already seen it with the Left. People lose their jobs or get censored and blacklisted for phantom concepts like 'homophobia.' A protest can turned into an 'insurrection' and subject one to sham trials in kangaroo courts. Do we really want to see this on the Right?

  Already, illegal immigration on the US-Mexican Border---which has been a problem for over a century---has suddenly become an invasion. Social welfare programs---including things like drug treatment--- have become communist. Sensible sexual education of minors has become paedophilia. There is actual discussion on 'Conservative' forums about imposing future loyalty tests in places like public schools. If we go to these kinds of extremes, we become what the Left is. The only difference is that the jackboot is on the other foot. 

  Through all the big words and the tough talk, there is a decided lack of any constructive solutions coming out of the Right. It's nothing but talk of revenge, punishment, and projecting power. This isn't Conservatism, whatever else it may be. 

  Conservatism is premised on the belief of a Government that is a servant---not the master---of a nation. In Conservatism, the function of a Government is to maintain freedom by protecting life, liberty, and property. There is no place in Conservativism for revolutionary ideologies which hold to any notion of a Master Race, whether that be self-appointed Alphas or self-appointed Elites with delusions of a Great Reset. Whether the postmodern Right wants to accept it or not, Conservatism is based on equality. The Law under Conservatism is to intervene in defense of the collective Rights of life, liberty, and property. "Beating the Left at their own Game" is still a surrender to the Left, no matter how it's spun.
