It Was A Dark And Stormy Night

I did not actually intend to do it but somehow I wrote a version of the classic "Dark and Stormy Night" opening for a novel.

I quote:

Reality is real.

Her parents had taught her this before she learned to read.

Know this and you can know everything.

But there were those alive who did not want to know.  They sought not to know.  Only to destroy knowledge and the products of knowledge.

Another destroyer has come to us.  
Someone had stepped upon her world with the intent of smashing it to nothing.  There was nothing that would be gained from this act.  It would be the sacrifice of everything to nothing.  Absolutely nothing.      

The woman had witnessed too much of the horror over the course of her life.  She had seen her parents taken from her simply because they were the only sane people on an insane world.  See had seen her husband murdered simply because he was her husband.Would it never end?

She stared at the world outside of her office window.

It was raining in the night of an alien world.  This world was not the home of Mankind but it was now the home of her people.  It was here they found some comfort and should have found absolute sanctuary.

She gave thought to window before her.

It was both a thing invisible and a thing of beauty.  It separated and protected her from the outside environment and allowed her to see it in all its glory.

The winter thunderstorm that crashed upon the city was a thing of beauty in itself.  The flash of lightning illuminated the streets and the buildings beyond the window with a blue glow.  And the flash of light reflected from her face back upon the inside of the window.  From this image she could see the winkles beneath her eyes and the streaks of gray in her dark hair.

She could watch the passage of the storm from the safety of her office because of the applied thought of a man.

The destroyers could not conceive of a pane of glass.  Nor could they be taught how to make it.  The thoughts of rational men were nothing to them.  And the works of men that followed the thoughts were seen only as abominations to be smashed into dust.

They did not see and they did not want to see.

How does one deal with such beings?
The phone on her desk rang.  She turned and quickly lifted the receiver to speak.

“Yes?”

A man’s voice at the far end replied.

“We’re ready to proceed, ma’am.”

“Do so.”

Yes, ma’am.”

 As a result I was inspired to submit an opening sentence to the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.

As follows:

"The thunderstorm that crashed upon the city was a thing of beauty, the flash of lightning illuminated the streets and the buildings beyond the window with a blue glow, with the light reflected from her face back upon the inside surface she could see the winkles beneath her eyes and the streaks of gray in her dark hair."

State Of The Union

So what do I think of the State of the Union address last night?

I don't.  I didn't bother to watch it or to read a transcript.  Nor do I intend to catch up on the subject.

Why?

Because the intellectual premises -- the basic system of beliefs -- held by Barack Obama and his followers are fundamentally false.  There is simply no purpose in wasting time and burning brain cells on answering him point for point.

So what does he believe?

The answer is what I call the Gospel According to Marx.  It was imparted on him by his maternal parent and grandparents.  Marxism is fundamentally the denial of several facts of reality.

That Human Life is the fundamental moral value.  That things of value are those objects and actions that support and improve human life.   That actual values are identified by the full operation of the rational mind.

Marxism denies more. 

That things of value can be imagined by rational thought and made by real labor.  That the creation of values by labor must be directed by rational thought.   And that the distribution of values must be directed by reason on the basis of consent. And because the actions of no two persons in the process of production can have equal value the concept of equality on income is clearly invalid.

Marxism is not a new doctrine.  It is simply a cover for the old barbaric notion of might being right.  That by raising a sufficient number of fists they can negate the real value of real thought and labor.  It is nothing more than an excuse to exercise force.  But reality cannot be erased by a show of hands.  Nor can a fact be overturned at the point of a gun.  Every attempt to put Marxist doctrine into action has failed. Without exception.

Every attempt to enforce the doctrine of Marx has resulted in millions of deaths.  From the use of force to compel obedience and starvation from the failure of any Marxist system to produce food.

There is simply no excuse for anyone to believe in or to attempt to enforce the doctrine of Marxism on this or any other nation.

So why is it happening now?

In part because most Americans do not understand what is happening.  The enemy has taken over educational and media establishments.  They put out falsehoods that are believed by some of our people without question.

"Promises, Promises."

There is one thing I am not hearing from any announced or prospective candidate for the office.  And that is the effective removal of Barack Obama from the federal register.  I will now correct this issue.

I PROMISE THAT AS PRESIDENT I WILL REINSTATE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS IT AS WAS ON THE MORNING OF JANUARY 20, 2009.  ALL ACTS OF LEGISLATION SIGNED INTO LAW, ALL EXECUTIVE ORDERS THAT WERE ISSUED, AND ALL APPOINTMENTS TO OFFICES MADE BY BARACK OBAMA WILL BE DECLARED NULL AND VOID.  AND THAT BARACK OBAMA WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS CRIMES AGAINST THE NATION.

Of course this will only be the beginning.  There are other messes to clean up as well.

Prediction

Given his absolute contempt for The People of this nation I would not be surprised that Barack Obama departs from office in front of a firing squad.

Like this:

An Old Issue

I'm going through some old files in search of an article on the subject of moral boundaries. Specifically when is an armed uprising morally necessary.

So far I found the following piece. I submitted it to editor Steven M. Barry (a.k.a. J.F.A. Davidson) for publication in The Resister. But SMB always had something better to publish. And the assumption at the time I wrote it was that Big Bubba was going to be the chief enemy. This still applies to The Big Zero.

LET'S MAKE A DEAL?

After months (or more likely years) of fighting, the beltway brigands declare that they are seeking a negotiated settlement to the Second Civil War.

After they make the usual noises about "power sharing" arrangements, etc., etc., the head of our delegation answers thus:

What we want from you Bill is this; You and your underlings will formally resign from office , you will surrender all claims of authority over the citizens and territory of the United States, you will go into exile, and under no circumstances will you establish or support the establishment of a quote, government in exile, close quote. You and your followers will take your offshore bank ATM cards and go. And please take the First Bitch with you.

In effect, the enemy is offered conditional amnesty.

The point in favor of such a deal is that we cut our own losses in blood and treasure.

The points against are, firstly, while the deal is expedient, it is fundamentally unjust. The individuals responsible for the subjugation and slaughter of American citizens (the Waco massacre, etc.) are basically getting away scot-free.

The second point against it is that it is contrary to the nature of the beast we are facing. Although the deal allows the enemy to take their loot with them, plunder (on the part of the leadership) was not their primary goal, unrestrained power over us is. The apparent governing principle of (to name an example) Clinton's behavior in public office is L'Etat cest Moi, literally; "The State, that's Me". The leader is held to be synonymous with the state, opposition to malfeasance on the part of the leader is treated as anti-government hatred, in effect as nothing less than treason. Clinton's consistent answer to criticism of his actions has been to defame his victim's

The fundamental problem with the enemy is that they value power. Loot has always been a secondary issue for them. It is their lust for power that is currently driving their efforts to silence and disarm the People. And it is these efforts that will ultimately bring about the revolution that will destroy them.

Charles Schumer

Seriously, I had to look up the bastard's name to get the spelling correct.  The spell check function on both my word processor and on Blogger continue to come up with the word Schemer.

John Ross in his novel Unintended Consequences had a character who clearly represented Schumer.  This character would in the course of the narrative be assassinated in a way that the body would be found at the scene of an apparent homosexual orgy with drugs.

And quite frankly that's better than he deserves.

The political career of Charles Schumer has been one of the worst in the history of our nation.  He has sought to completely destroy the Constitutional relationship between The People and the government.  He has sought to completely subject The People under an absolute state of tyranny.

In short he is by practical effect, if not by constitutional definition, a traitor.

He clearly deserves to be put to death for his crimes against the nation.

UPDATE 1130 CST:

Net Right Daily has posted  a story about the latest actions of Comrade Schumer. 

They call him a Fascist.  That is simply too nice.

Charles Schumer is an Enemy of Mankind, to be dealt with as wolves are.

Comment

I look at the news today and I am just sickened.

Thought For The Day

Anyone in Minnesota who still believes in Global Warming is simply not paying attention.

So Anyway

My other project at the moment is to write a science fiction novel.

Here's the prologue:

Reality is real.

Her parents had taught her this before she learned to read.    

Know this and you can know everything.

But there were those alive who did not want to know.  They sought not to know.  Only to destroy knowledge and the products of knowledge.
    
The destroyers have returned.  Someone had stepped upon her world with the intent of smashing it to nothing.  There was nothing that would be gained from this act.  It would be the sacrifice of everything to nothing.

Absolutely nothing.
 
The woman had witnessed too much of the horror over the course of her life.  She had seen her parents taken from her simply because they were the only sane people on an insane world.  See had seen her husband and two sons murdered because they were her husband and sons.
 
Would it never end?

She stared at the world outside of her office window. 

It was raining in the night of an alien world.  This world was not the home of Mankind but it was now the home of her people.  It was here they should have found sanctuary.

She gave thought to window before her.

It was both a thing of beauty and a thing invisible.  It separated her from the outside environment and allowed her to see it in all its glory.

The winter thunderstorm that crashed upon the city was a thing of beauty in itself.  The flash of lightning illuminated the streets and the buildings beyond the window with a blue glow.  And the flash of light reflected from her face back upon the inside of the window.  From this image she could see the winkles beneath her eyes and the streaks of gray in her dark hair.

She could watch the passage of the storm from the safety of her office because of the applied thought of a man.

The destroyers could not conceive of a pane of glass.  Nor could they be taught how to make it.  The thoughts of rational men were nothing to them.  And the works of men that followed the thoughts were seen only as abominations to be smashed into dust. 

They did not see and they did not want to see.

How does one deal with such beings?

Any resemblance to my policies as President are purely deliberate.

Munich Part II

The rulers of Iran have rule screwed us again.

As reported on the CNN Blog:

(CNN) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif insisted Wednesday that the Obama administration mischaracterizes concessions by his side in the six-month nuclear deal with Iran, telling CNN in an exclusive interview that "we did not agree to dismantle anything."

Zarif told CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto that terminology used by the White House to describe the agreement differed from the text agreed to by Iran and the other countries in the talks -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany.

Mohammed in the Koran orders the followers to deceive their victims as a means of gaining power over them.  The practical effect is that any agreement with a Muslim state in automatically invalid.

The fact of matter is that the Iranian state has been at war with the United States since its foundation.  And by doctrine must remain so.  The only course of action that could validly followed is to destroy Iran.

And the most effective and least costly means of doing so is nuclear bombardment.

Any questions?

The Life Program

Anti-fracking protestors attach themselves to gas pumps in England.

What will they do next?

The fundamental premise of the Environmentalist or the Green Movement is that Human Life and thus Human Action is evil.   Although a mere handful of Green "thinkers" have come out for the complete extinction of Man many activists are content with simply striking a pose by physically interfering with rational men.  And some pro-communist politicians, who are already pushing the Death Program in their nations, have added to their anti-human postures by adopting Green positions.

The Life Program is easy to understand.  The Human Life is where persons with active rational minds are by right are free to use their knowledge to create real things of value for themselves in the real world.  Real Governments are established to protect people on the Life Program.

The Death Program is the exact opposite.  But being elected on the Death Program is effectively impossible.  As an alternative advantage is taken of those who have been taught the doctrine of Altruism.  That a person exists to be used by others without their consent.

Can there be compromise with The Death Program?

No.

Ayn Rand answered this question by stating that to mix food and poison always results in poisoning.

Any questions?

Socialist Medicine

In a purely Socialist medical system the patient is effectively told to take two aspirin and drop dead in the morning.  In the Cuban Communist version the patient has to bring his own clean sheets and then drops dead in the morning.

This is the actual system that the Progressives are pushing us to.

And they don't care.

Groan!

There is a member of the California state senate who should be seriously ashamed of himself.  He's a Democrat of course, and as such is incapable of shame. 

His name is Kevin de Leon.

In the effort to push even more insane legislation in violation of the Second Amendment he emmitted a major load of gibberish.

Here it is:

This idiot wouldn't last ten seconds in non-infantry basic training at Fort Jackson in South Carolina.  Or five seconds in Infantry basic at Fort Benning, Georgia.  As for Marine basic?  Forget about it.

It is essentially a given fact that a liberal will believe every lie told to him or her.  But lying requires actual knowledge of the subject.  This idiot has taken the fictional INGSOC slogan Ignorance is Strength to heart.

Once in a fit of annoyance at a family member for the ignorant storage of my personal property, allowing several rifle magazines to rust, I posted a rant on the subject of political education on this blog:

One of the ideas that has been rattling about in the remnant of my brain is that a mere warm body should not exercise political authority. I acquired this thought from reading Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein about a decade before picking up anything written by Ayn Rand. The fact is that all forms of authority are based on knowledge and political authority is no exception.

But in the present system political authority is granted to any warm body without regard to their the actual state of knowledge. As a result some warm bodies have traded their votes for a material object such as an IPad or a wad of cash. Or worse they have traded their votes for the warm and fuzzy feeling of having been compassionate.

The result is out present state of our nation. Those who lack knowledge or simple concern for consequences should not have authority over another person, let alone the fate of a nation.

Heinlein's proposed solution to the problem is relatively easy to look up for yourself. Or you can purchase a copy of Starship Troopers from Ace Books.

My solution to the problem is simply proper education in the obligations of citizenship.

The course would be similar to a driver education course as presently taught. The first part of the class covers The Constitution, the proper functions of each branch of government, the function of each clause and amendment, the duties of the citizen as the sovereign authority of the nation, and what happened when the Federal Government was allowed to enter the failure mode.

The second part of the course covers the function and use of the instrument of political authority, the personal weapon. This covers rifle marksmanship and maintenance. Also covered is the basic organization and tactics of the citizen militia unit.

While the citizenship course will not be mandatory, completion and a passing grade will be required to exercise the authority to vote.

Again, what are your questions?

A Comment

On an Objectivist Mailing list Bill Keogh published a review of the movie Lone Survivor.  In the review he stated:

It is clear from the movie that the Rules of Engagement are like the 10 Commandments, handed down from on high and not to be questioned. Because discussing the ROE is taboo at briefings before a battle they end of being debated on the battlefield. Thus options to self-sacrifice by releasing prisoners, like tying them to a tree, drugging them, taking them captive until rescue or killing them in the direst extreme are never discussed. 

 Why is this?

I posted a reply on the list:

The Rules of Engagement as followed by armed forces in the civilized nations of the West are based on a series of assumptions.  That a war between civilized nations is a temporary state of affairs.  That the state of peace will be restored.  And that the new state of peace should be permanent.  From this view it is assumed that the killing of civilians would provide moral grounds to start another war. 

A resumption of the war is clearly seen as a condition to be avoided if possible.

In the war between Islam and Rational Man the concept of innocence simply does not apply.   Everyone regardless of their status must use or is subject to the use of force.  There are no exceptions granted in the Koran.  This war is presented in the Koran as a fight to the death.  And the goal of Mohammed was to absolutely extinguish all opposition.

The basic goal of Rational Man is to live a human life.  The goal of the founder of Islam was to live as an animal without regard to the consequences.

Moron Monday

From Breitbart News we hear from a Connecticut Democrat:

Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) on the House floor last week: 

“Every generation of leaders in this institution has faced their own time of testing," she said. "Whether it’s an economic panic, Great Depression, slavery, Jim Crow, Civil War, World War, Cold War. There are times when our country is confronted with a crisis that poses an existential threat to our nation and our way of life and Congress needs to stand up and act. The test of our time is inequality, It’s not too much to say that inequality threatens the continued existence of the middle class in America and even the American Dream itself.” 

 I shall refrain from using barracks language here.

Let's repeat the last sentence:

It’s not too much to say that inequality threatens the continued existence of the middle class in America and even the American Dream itself.

And I used to believe that Minnesota Democrats were stupid.   If this elected moron had actually given her mouth dropping any thought she would have noticed that "inequality" was a threat to a manifestation of inequality.

What is her problem?

At the founding of our Republic all citizens were held to have Equal Rights under the Rule of Law.

It was recognized that no two persons had identical knowledge nor ability to work.  There would always be a difference in the outcome of everyone's productive efforts.  This was seen as being natural and therefore was never an issue.

But along come the trust fund brats Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and their massive fraud, The Communist Manifesto.  In their doctrine differences in thought and labor are mentally wiped out.  As a result material inequality is deemed to be unnatural and evil.  Because material inequality is held to be evil it must be removed by force.

The entire history of Communist rule clearly demonstrates the insanity of the doctrine and those who follow it.  Not less than One Hundred Million Dead as a result.  The most consistent demonstration of enforced material equality of in Cambodia under the reign of the Khmer Rouge with one third of the people dead as a result.

All of this for an invalid doctrine.  Which is to say for nothing at all. 

As long as these morons are in power they constitute a clear hazard to human life.

Any questions?

Movie Review

I just saw Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. It was good.  Although in the future I should wait for the DVD to come out.  Paying $25 for for the ticket and the concession stand may be a bit much.  Or it could be the result of the ongoing depreciation of the Dollar.

Of course this is a work of fiction as the real Barack Obama would be solely disappointed that the day was saved. But what if the Russian state were to attempt a economic take-down in the wake of a terrorist attack? This is clearly an offense against the United States.  A clear effort to impose their will upon us.

In that event if I were the President I would give the order to launch the first strike.

Any questions?

The Rand Amendment

Ayn Rand on the final page of  the novel Atlas Shrugged proposed an amendment to The Constitution:

Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of production and trade.

At one stroke the entire body of progressive legislation imposed upon us is removed from existence.  We are freed from the burden of bureaucracy.  Socialism in effect if not name is abolished. 

Our minds are freed from the chains imposed by the mindless and The Path of Life* is cleared.

 I could go on all day about the practical benefits of The Rand Amendment, but I have other things to do, and so does every other rational person.


*The Path of Life was the previous name for my blog.

A Crime In Maryland

A “right” is a moral principle defining and sanctioning a man’s freedom of action in a social context.

Ayn Rand

The Right to Life, which is to live as a rational person in full command of your own life, is the fundamental right.  From this comes the right of self defense and also from this comes the Right to Keep and Bear Arms as recognized in the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

To restate clearly the Constitution of the United States does not grant rights to anyone.  The Constitution only recognizes the preexisting rights of all people.  And The Constitution does this without exception for citizen or legal resident.

But the Federal Government and several state governments are in clear violation of The Constitution.  And they are in specific and deliberate violation of the Second Amendment.

A clear case in point was when a resident of the State of Florida was pulled over by Transportation Authority Police of the State of Maryland lawfully driving on an Interstate Highway.

At first the family vehicle was followed by an unmarked patrol car for ten minutes.  All while the officer ignored actual speed limit violators who rushed by.  After the car was pulled over the driver waited another ten minutes before he was ordered to exit his vehicle and treated as a known felon.

The victim was asked where the pistol he registered as a CCW permit holder was.

The victim answered that the pistol was in a safe at his home in Florida.  The so-called cop declare that the victim was lying.  The so-called police, with three backup cars, then proceeded to perform a search of the vehicle.

After a two hour search no weapon was found.

After all this the victim said:

And he wants to put me in jail. He wants to put me in jail. For no reason. He wants to take my wife and children away and put me in jail. In America, how does such a thing happen? ... And after all that, he didn’t even write me a ticket.

So what happened?

On the surface this appeared to be an example of common thug behavior.  In thus case the thugs with badges saw an apparently easy victim and pounced on him like a mindless predatory animal.   The fact that the victim was a CCW permit holder is included in his Florida DMV record.  With this information the thugs pounced.  This action was a clear sign of contempt for a constitutionally recognized right.

But this is not the only issue.  Even without the infliction of a physical injury or an outright murder this act was also identical to the behavior of the uniformed thugs of the NSDAP.  The original Nazi Brownshirts.  Here the armed citizen is equated to the Jew. The information in the Florida DMV database served as the functional equivalent of the Yellow Star of David.  As it was before in Germany this act was clearly depraved and beyond excuse.  The so-called police officers and their supervisors must be fired without any benefits.

So how would I deal with such a situation as the President?

Existing legislation on the Federal level is absolutely void.  Such legislation will not be enforced pending formal repeal.  The refusal by any member of Congress to repeal such legislation will be deemed an act of resignation from that body.

Furthermore all state and subordinate legislation in violation of the Second Amendment will be void.  All attempts to continue enforcement of said acts shall be treated as federal felonies.  And all deaths resulting from such continued enforcement shall be treated as capital crimes.

If we have to fight a civil war to enforce the Second Amendment then we will do so.

Any questions? 

Hunting For A RINO

Tony Lee on Breitbart News reports:
                   

Former Arkansas Republican Gov. Mike Huckabee, who has been slammed for raising taxes, commuting the sentence of a prisoner who ended up committing murder, and failing to successfully take on conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, wants to outlaw the term "RINO."

Oh!  The poor baby!

In the context of inner-party politics the term is applied to Huckabee and other Establishment Republicans who’ve shown a tendency to compromise with Democrats or otherwise failed to stand up for conservative principles. In practice the RINO fails to understand that any act of compromise with the opposition negates the entire point of electing a Republican to an office.

Huckabee specifically stated:

One term that I’d like to see outlawed from the vernacular of the party is 'RINO...It stands for Republicans in Name Only, and it’s a pejorative term that questions the authenticity and orthodoxy of someone’s party purity. I’ve been called that myself, even though I fought in the trenches of Republican politics for over two decades. Even so, I would never pretend that I’m Lord over determining who the real Republicans are.

Even though I’m brain damaged I do understand the point of having an opposition party.  But apparently Huckabee refuses to see it.

It is very clear to every rational citizen that the Democratic Party is wrong on every core issue and is Hellbent on the pursuit of unrestrained power at the expense of The People. 

He also said:

Personally, I think someone who agrees with me 90% of the time is not my enemy.

In effect Huckabee is a Pragmatist whose fundamental goal and value is power.  The negative impact of compromise has no meaning to him.  All that matters is being elected.

That absolute fact is that compromise with evil empowers evil.  By stating that he is willing to compromise with the enemy he is admitting to being part of the problem.

But now his feelings are hurt by being seen as being part of the problem.

That’s too bad.  Huckabee chose to be an enemy of The People and The Constitution.  He deserves no better that to be treated as such.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?

On Islamophobia

By rational definition Islamophobia is the irrational fear of Islam.

Does this phenomena actually exist?

Islam denies all of the Rights of Man.  Most importantly Islam denies the fundamental Right of Life.  As a result Islam commands the followers to subjugate and to plunder the nonbelievers.  Those who raise a hand in their own defense are in retaliation be murdered.

Furthermore all women are deemed to be inferior creatures who exist solely to be used by Muslim males*.  Although forcible rape is declared to be illegal the act of prosecution is impractical.  In addition the mere complaint of forcible rape is deemed to a confession to the crime of adultery, which under Islam is a capital offense.  In Islam the act of forcible rape of nonbelievers is not only rendered legal but by scripture is often encouraged.

By rational examination it is clear that an irrational fear of Islam is impossible.

So how we identify those who believe in existence of Islamophobia and actively seek to suppress it?

These persons are giving material aid and comfort to the Enemies of Mankind.  As the American People is part of Mankind, such aid when performed by Americans constitutes under Constitutional definition an act of Treason.

Unfortunately the act of Treason is not prosecuted nor properly punished.


* The concept of Man does not apply in this case.

A Remembrance Of Old Times

Back in the day when real lawmen wore proper hats, suits, and ties when hunting down the predatory animals in human form. 

This is a luxury we can no longer afford.

The Final Crusade

I previously opposed an intervention in the civil war in the mythical nation of Syria.

As proposed by the current administration the goal was to complete the overthrow of the Assad regime in Damascus.  This action would had the effect of supporting Al-Qaida in establishing a puppet state in the region.  American lives would have sacrificed by the current administration in the cause of Islam.

In short the proposed action of the current administration would have been an act of treason.

The following photo was published by Frontpage Magazine this morning.

This is the remains of a young Armenian Christian man who was imprisoned and murdered for refusing to convert to Islam.  This is the abomination to which Barack Obama would sacrifice American lives.

The intervention as proposed by the current administration is clearly wrong.  But actually innocent people are murdered at the hands of Muslims on both sides.

What is to be done?

If an intervention with troops on the ground is to carried out it will be for the limited objective of evacuating the remaining Christian and Jewish* people in Syria.  Those evacuated will be given sanctuary in the nations participating in the action.  And at the end of the Final Crusade will be given the option of returning to Syrian territory or obtaining citizenship in their new homelands.

The rules of engagement will be simple: all Muslims, in accordance to the Koran, are enemy combatants.  No exceptions will be made for women and children in accordance to Western standards.  The rules of warfare as adopted by Western Nations are according to the Koran man made laws and thus invalid to Muslims.  The intervention will be carried out according Islamic standards.

Although there are apparently no targets where nuclear weapons are deemed necessary there will be no restraint on the use of chemical weapons.  As biological agents cannot be reasonably restrained they will not be used.

Islam denies all of The Rights Of Man.  Muslims cannot under any circumstances claim any of those rights for themselves.   In order to live in a Human society a Muslim must fully renounce Islam.

No exceptions can be made.


* Yes, there are still a small number of Jews in Syria.

Murder Thy Neighbor

I once wrote for a minor dead tree publication called THE RESISTER.  I  had a disagreement with the editor, I told him that we as real intellectuals did not have to dehumanize the members of The Left.  My view at the time was that The Left had chosen to dehumanize themselves, and all we had to do as reporters was to observe them and accurately report our observations.

This is still true.

In a case in point my good friend Mark Urbin posted a link on his blog to a post on Talk Straight in order to illuminate this point.

Apparently some self styled intellectual over at the cesspit known as the Village Voice is openly calling for the murder and plunder of billionaires.  All in the name of the workers, which in what passes for the mind of this individual also includes folks who claim to be artists.

Here's the screen shot of the page:

This member of the Nomenklatura feels that wealth, the product of actual thought and labor, belongs not to the persons who created it, but to the collective as a whole.

When the Nomenklatura want to grab something, they will simply proclaim that desired object was unearned by the rightful owner, or was otherwise stolen and grab it. And they will kill the rightful owner if they have to.  Given sufficient time and motivation the Nomenklatura will, if they are consistently acting in accordance to their own theory, even attack the bums who are begging at the roadside for the loose change in their pockets. After all, they didn't earn that paltry sum of money either.

As Mark also pointed out when one scratches a self proclaimed liberal one will find the fascist underneath.

The fact of the matter is that the ideologies of Socialism, Fascism, et al, were nothing more than an attempt to give the appearance of legitimacy to old school savagery, which is basically the old stone age practice of beating up or killing  people and taking their stuff.

Progressive is now a synonym for barbarian and murderer.

Illumination Of Islam

To see what someone believes watch how they behave.

All across the lands occupied by the doctrine of Islam there is celebration.  As rational and therefore decent people are mourning the death of Ariel Sharon there are animals in human form dancing in the streets.

The doctrine of Islam teaches that Human Life is worthless.  It teaches that those who defend Human Life are evil.

The doctrine of Islam is the exact opposite of true morality.

The believers of Islam are declaring that the death of Ariel Sharon is the sign of the power of Allah.  But Allah is a false pagan god that was stolen and recycled by a career criminal to fulfill his own lusts.

Ariel Sharon died in his sleep after lying for eight years in a coma.  This is in fact tragic, but it is not a sign of the power of a false god.

 Ariel Sharon dedicated his life to the creation and defense of the State of Israel.  He is in fact a hero to be admired.  He will never be a villain to a rational person.

As I have said before and will continue to state those who choose to behave as animals have chosen to be identified and treated as such.  They are solely responsible for their own fate.

 

Ariel Sharon, 1928-2014

Ariel Sharon, who served the State of Israel as Prime Minister, Defense Minister, and most importantly as a soldier, has died after a long hospitalization.

Rest in Peace, sir.

Climate Change

Here is an example of climate change in action.

From the U.S. Weather Service comes a photograph of the Niagara Falls.  As you can see the great waterfall is not completely frozen over but they are not flowing with force as usual.

Climate change is in a fact a naturally occurring event.  No human action is required or effective.  To enforce policies based on a false concept, such as environmental doctrine is in practical effect treason.

All such actions must be brought to an end.

Leave The Title Off

Lena Dunham, an alleged actress and voter for The Big Zero, is whining about the fact that some people have esthetic standards: 

Lena Dunham, the actress who made herself infamous by comparing voting for Barack Obama to losing one's virginity, has come out with another brilliant statement: People who aren't really interested in seeing her naked need to seek help from a psychiatrist.

From reading press reports Lena Dunham has at least one tattoo that I know of. Tattooing is a form of mutilation that on women was once only seen on prostitutes. The  women who are presently thus mutilated generally fall into the categories of being stupid or a slut.  Furthermore nudity was once primarily displayed by women who accepted being seen as an object of sexual gratification.  Such women tended to strongly resemble the working prostitutes of the time. 

The alternative to prostitutes were the practicing nudists who saw themselves as being mentally healthier and thus superior in respect to those who were normally dressed.  Seriously, there was once a nudist social program. I suppose they had to publish that as an alternative to printing photos of grandmothers in old nudist magazines.

Healthy or rational egoists on the Randian model see themselves as one conscious being in a universe of conscious beings. Dunham is apparently an egotist, she sees herself as the only important person in the inhabited universe.

The fact is that Lena Dunham is a pathetic slut with a mind at the perceptual level who does not see how her beloved Schwarzführer has damaged our nation over the course of his regime.  Nor does she ever want to see the truth.  There is no functional mind present in her that a rational man would want to love.  And no rational man would want to see her in a state of nudity, even for the purpose of realism in a film.

And no, I'm not desperate enough to engage in sexual intercourse with Lena Dunham.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?

Donation Nation

The Tea Party Leadership fund is raising money for an effort to unseat Speaker of the House John Boehner in the next primary election.  I have just contributed ten dollars to this effort.

Why not donate more?

I'm retired and on a fixed income.

Here is the website for the effort.

Pull Politics

Today I will get into a subject that is a bit slippery.

One fundamental concept put forth by Ayn Rand in her ultimate novel Atlas Shrugged was the idea of Political Pull.  It is here that a government operating under the Rule of Law is replaced by a regime that operates through the exchange of favors for the beneficial exercise of power.  The end result is a tyranny that denies real rights, breaks real laws, and benefits a ruling class.  Rand called this ruling class The Aristocracy of Pull.  For the purposes of writing this blog and for the present presidential campaign I have labelled this group the Nomenklatura after the name applied to the ruling class of the Soviet Union.

In Atlas Shrugged we are shown the operations of the Nomenklatura and the adverse impact they have on the characters and the people in general.  The Nomenklatura renounces reason, rejects rights, and inflicts no end of damage in their pursuit of benefits at the expense of the victims.

In relations between men the Nomenklatura rejects rational consent in favor of brute force.

So why bring up this apparently obscure subject?

Breitbart News has reported that  Tom Donohue of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has annouced his continued support for the system of the Nomenklatura: 

On Wednesday, Tom Donohue, the President and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, vowed to make the Tea Party "feel some heat" in 2014 in order to get amnesty legislation passed.

And:

As Breitbart News reported, the Chamber is planning to spend at least $50 million to crush the Tea Party, largely because of the movement's opposition to amnesty legislation, which the Congressional Budget Office determined would lower the wages of American workers and which the Chamber has been coveting.

Given that the standing Objectivist position on immigration is in favor of no restraints one may conclude that I would be in favor of Amnesty for illegal immigrants.

No.

Proper immigration to our nation is for the purpose of becoming an American.  One of the befits of being an American is to live under the Rule of Law.  A condition where the law is applied to and protects everyone equally without exception.

But Tom Donohue, the Lord of Pull, wants to block those who seek to restore the full Rule of Law.

He says:

If you can’t make them see the light, then at least make them feel some heat.

If we refuse to submit to him and his band of crooks then we are to harmed.  This is clearly the rule of the thug.

The American People are the Sovereign Authority of the United States.   We The People grant the Federal Government the authority to act for our benefit, to protect our rights without exception.

Donohue and his partners in Pull do not want to properly earn their profits. They wish to benefit from the favorable use of force.

In short they are no different from the common criminal.

Falsehood Is Truth!

Had to go with the Newspeak title on this on.  As ever I thank George Orwell for shining the Light of Truth on the totalitarian cesspit.

A branch of our unofficial Department of Truth, MSNBC, continues to denigrate the critics of The Big Zero:

On Tuesday's PoliticsNation on MSNBC, during a discussion of Republican congressional members who have spoken of the possibility of impeaching President Obama, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank labeled such talk "tribal politics" and compared it to a "revenge killing" against the President because he won the election.

He who holds the office of President of the United States is only a mere citizen.  He was once commonly identified as the First Citizen.  Contrary to what Collectivists believe the act of election to the office does not confer God-like powers or immunity from law and judgement. A President who violates The Constitution and the Common Law must face trial and judgement for his acts.  No exceptions can ever be granted.

There is no question at this time that Barack Obama has violated the law and has caused harm to our people. It is simply on the basis of one fact that he must be removed.

I will stop here for the moment.

Statement On Drug Policy

A basic virtue of standing for a political office independently of a party affiliation is that I do not have to run on their platform or record.  And in the case of Drug Policy the burden of their massive idiocy is unbearable.

The Drug Cartels, the organizations that produce and smuggle hard drugs for distribution and sale in the United States are using a series of increasingly sophisticated techniques to bring their wares into our country.  [LINK HERE]  As a consequence the cost of enforcing the prohibition on the sale and use of the same hard drugs has risen to virtually astronomical levels.

What is to be done?

Let us start by examining how the mess began.

One theory is that at the repeal of Prohibition, the insane attempt to ban the consumption of alcohol, there were a mass of federal agents looking for work.  And by looking for work I mean the acquisition of another federal job -- not an actually honest job doing real work.  The appalling employment situation in the civilian sector during The Depression may not have been a factor here.  They are federal government employees, after all.*

Another factor was that the unholy alliance of Holy Rollers and Progressives still believed in the social control attempted in Prohibition.  They refused to understand that real virtues, such as sobriety, cannot be enforced at the point of a gun.  Instead the unholy coalition sought to deny their error and instead inflict another mistake on our nation with another insane act of legislation.

Hard drugs such as Cocaine and Heroin were developed by pharmaceutical companies as proper pain suppression medicines.  At the time there was only a minor subculture in existence that abused these medicines.

But the fact that there only  a small number of people abused these medicines, and that the negative social impact was non-existent, did not stop the those lobbying for unemployed Prohibition agents  and moral morons from pushing the clearly necessary legislation.

The mass of politicians faced with being held to account for Prohibition and the Great Depression needed a sacred cause to restore their exalted position with the electorate.  The prohibition of hard drugs along with Marihuana fit the bill.

At first there was no clearly discernible adverse effects.  Some users switched back to alcohol to destroy themselves while others remained undetected.  The task of a federal agent was a government job after all.

And Cocaine was still administered under medical supervision.  By one report President Roosevelt received a dose from his doctor later in the afternoon on the Infamous Day.  And quite frankly I don't blame him at all.

But there were still users of hard drugs and therefore a market.  The manufacture only required a  simple knowledge of chemistry that an upper level of criminal could understand and the early suppression efforts were only a jobs program and therefore a joke. But the street level pushers were only receiving a minimum income at best.  They had to expand their user base in order to increase their income.

The increase in the number of discernible users in turn provoked a call for tighter enforcement which in turn increased the cost drug pushing.  The self-reinforcing cycle continued to gain more power until the present absurd situation has come to effect.

So what is to be done?

The absolute first thing that must be understood is that no actual virtue, in this case cleanness from drugs, can every be imposed at gunpoint.  The only person who ever stop a drug user is the user himself.  He has to recognize the fact that he is destroying himself.  And only he can make the decision and act to save himself.

With the pretense of morality buried we must then legalize the hard drugs and Marihuana.  The specialized enforcers of the drug laws can be retired, retrained and reassigned to real police postions, or simply fired.

Legalization will have the beneficial effect of reducing federal spending at the same time.  A further effect will be to cut off the federally mandated stream of funding to the Drug Cartels.  Criminals simply cannot compete on pricing with a business that has no overhead costs associated with operating in a black market.  Criminal organizations will be faced with the alternatives of legitimization or bankruptcy, but that's their problem.

With the subsequent drop in drug prices the pressure to commit crimes to pay for the addiction will be relieved.  But again the only valid solution to drug addiction is for the user to end it himself.

The legalization of hard drugs will not solve all of the associated problems of usage but it will restore government to the proper mission of defending our lives.  And it will make he situation better for everyone in general.

I fully acknowledge the fact that this was the position of the Libertarian Party.  I was an active member of the LP.  But the LP in fact is a joke.


* Gosh, I'm such a cynic.

   

The Homosexual Privilege

As you may read from the title of this article I am not a supporter of what are commonly called Gay Rights.

How can that be?

The answer comes in a true understanding of what the so-called Gay Rights actually are.

The clearest understanding and thus definition of the concept of a right came from Ayn Rand:

A “right” is a moral principle defining and sanctioning a man’s freedom of action in a social context.

As can be expected by a rational observer Miss Rand had a great amount to say on the concept of Rights.  You may read most of it here at this link.

Now from a clearly rational perspective a homosexual is simply another person and therefore has the  rights identical to any other person.  The concept of a specific set of "Gay Rights" is therefore meaningless.

So what is the actual issue?

I will try to keep the answer short.

What "Gay Rights" are is in fact a set of privileges granted to Homosexuals as a class by the Nomenklatura* in exchange for the their support in the struggle for power over The People.

What is a privilege?

A privilege is an act of legislation enacted for the private benefit of a specific person or class of persons at the expense of other people.  Therefore a privilege is not and absolutely cannot be a proper law enacted by the government of a free society.

So why are privileges being granted to Homosexuals as a class?

 Because Homosexuals are identified as being dysfunctional.  Rational people do not want the Homosexual dysfunction to effect them in normal life.  And because rational parents clearly seek to avoid the adverse effect of Homosexual contact with their children.**

The privilege granted is the negation of individual judgement and especially the actual rights of parents to control access to their children.   For the grant of this privilege the Homosexual class exchanges their votes in the elections and are fully expected to give financial support to the ruling party***

Those who exercise rational judgement with respect to Homosexuals are now subject arrest and punishment.  Good people will be injured and dies as a result.  And the children of good people  will be used and abused by Homosexuals.  And some will also die as well.

So what can I say?

Those who benefit from tyranny are part of problem and will be included in the solution.

They will have no one to blame but themselves.

Any questions?



* Nomenklatura:  The actual ruling class in the Soviet Union and their empire.  Here the term is used to denote the present rulers and abusers of our nation.

** While there are some people who cite The Torah/Old Testament as the grounds for their aversion to homosexuals.  This book is clearly the product of an effort by the exiled People of Israel to understand what happened to them and to see a path for living in their future.  The problems with homosexuals were as evident then as they are now.  Non-reproduction and sexually transmitted diseases being at the forefront of the problems.  Remember homosexuals do not reproduce, that must recruit from the non-effected.

*** For all practical effects the Democrats and the Old Guard of the Republicans now constitute a single de-facto party.  We as citizens must identify and deal with them as such.

Note For Today

I had a doctor's appointment scheduled today after noon.  AT the time I checked the Weather Service site it was eighteen degrees below zero.  As a result I rescheduled the appointment.

This was expected to be a slow news day for me.  Under the present conditions I will not leave the apartment building, let alone attempt to start my car.

What Can I say?  

Good day.

Sunday Morning Islam

This morning Pamela Geller [LINK] has linked to a story [LINK] about two Muslim teenagers attempting to rob a gun store.

Most teenagers do dumb things. But not trying-to-rob-Joe-Galiano dumb.

Who is Joe Galiano? He's the owner of Suburban Armory, the gun shop on MacDade Boulevard in Collingdale Borough, Delaware County. He is surrounded by guns, including the one on his hip. Like his .45-caliber pistol. Can't miss it.

Despite this fact, police say two teenagers dressed in burkas walked into his store this afternoon, pulled a gun on Galiano and tried to stick him up. Galiano, less than thrilled about having a man in female Muslim garb pointing a silver handgun at him inside his own store, decided not to comply, but instead to make use of his own gun.

"It doesn't make any sense," Chief Robert Adams said of the attempted robbery. "He carries a gun and it's right out there in the open."

What has to be kept in mind at all times is that Islam teaches the rejection of reason as the means to live in reality.  Islam also teaches a basically false set of notions on how to interact with other people.

Because Islam was the product of an insane and predatory mind the followers believe that the correct response to a demand for loot or another crime is for the victim to simply submit.  Resistance by the victim is forbidden by Allah.

Because lslam teaches that women are property to be used and abused at will the Muslim will often see the rational behavior of the civilized as being a system of weakness.  In reality the social equality of Men and Women results in women, or in this case those who imitate the same, receiving the identical response to a criminal act as men.

But then rational thought is forbidden in Islam.

In addition to mentioning this relatively light hearted bit of idiocy Miss Geller has posted other stories about Islam as usual.  [LINK]

Yet there are those who still call for the toleration of Islam.

Statement of Policy

In the ongoing effort to dismantle our civilization the notion has been put forth that ground forces of the United States should placed between the remnant of the State of Israel and the Muslim terrorists pretending to be a Palestinian state.

Why is this being discussed by anyone?

There is no question that Palestine is a myth.  It is load of nonsense created by stupid politicians and diplomats to give the appearance national identity to a specific mob of believers in the religion of conquest, plunder, and murder.  The fact is the every so-called nation on Earth that is ruled by Muslims was conquered from the lawful inhabitants.  And that every Muslim living now is the descendant of a conqueror or and a collaborator who converted to Islam.

The only rational policy that can be followed by the United States is the complete support of the State of Israel in their efforts to provide security the land and their people.

If by some miracle or serious hard work I were actually elected to the office of President, and the policy proposed by John Kerry were in place, the orders to the troops on the ground will be to secure the base areas until contact is made with the IDF and then to support the IDF as possible in their effort to re-establish true security over the West Bank and Gaza areas.

The fact is that the areas of the West Bank and Gaza properly belong to the people of Israel and not to descendants of the conquerors and collaborators.

Accountability

Back on New Years Day I linked to a story on the Raw Story web site about a flutist who had his custom made flute confiscated and destroyed by the US Customs Service in New York.  [LINK]

On Friday Breitbart covered the story and I left a comment in the appropriate place.  [LINK]  Shortly thereafter someone, under the handle of "TEA4Freedom" who clearly failed to understand the issue left a comment after mine:

Grow your own food.

 Really?  Is our national food supply actually endangered by a few flutes?

The damned fool simply takes the word of the Federal Agent for granted and allows him to get away with destruction of the tools of a mans trade?  The man is left without the his means of making a living.

For everyone reading this I left the following comment after the idiot:

So what you are saying is that this arbitrary exercise of power and destruction of economic property was actually valid?

If so, how?

Otherwise I have to conclude that all that was accomplished by this wanton act of destruction was to allow a tax-fed thug to tell a story of his power to other tax-fed thugs over a beer at the local thugs watering hole.

For a bit more than the last two decades agents of the Federal Government have been destroying lives and property at will without being held accountable for their acts.  What just occurred in New York was just a very minor incident among many.  The poor flutist escaped with his life.

As established the Federal Government served Us, The People and were accountable to us. Now the Federal Government essentially serve themselves and no longer answers to us.  And when anyone demands an explanation for an action someone else -- in this case falsely claiming to be a patriot -- denounces the questioner. 

A government that is not accountable to The People is a contradiction in terms.  It is no more than a puffed up criminal gang.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?

Changes

As I write this it is eleven degrees below zero outside of my apartment building on the Fahrenheit scale.  It's not quite the old eastern Front level of cold but it's still dangerous.  The Army Reserve unit I initially joined in 1982 was equipped and was training to be sent to Alaska in the event of an open war with the Soviet Union.

I had a lot to look forward to back then.

Now that the Soviet Union has departed from the scene our nation is facing a new hazard.  This is an ideological menace from from within our own educational establishment.

The ideology of Environmentalism.

One aspect of this problem is the theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming.  It is here that the actions of Mankind are deemed to be the cause of planetary heating.  A catastrophe that could only be stopped by a radical change in social behavior which in turn must be enforced with absolute compliance by a totally empowered state.

This notion is complete nonsense. 

As I write this a Russian icebreaker has just been freed from a pack of sea ice that according to Global Warming Theory should not have been present.  The expedition that chartered the ship were believers in the theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming who were seeking evidence to support their beliefs.

What they received was the opposite.  They recieved the truth. 

What appears to be an inherent part of Climate Change Theory is the notion that the planetary climate does not change without a human factor present.  That the natural climate is a static state.

But in reality there is hard physical evidence of radical climate change on the planetary scale.  Of rain forests running from pole to pole.  And of ice covering the entire planet.

The fact is that the Earth is a changing environment within an ever changing universe.  And all of this change is completely natural.

In light of this we must see that government policies, especially those reaching a totalitarian level of control are fundamentally oppressive and unnecessary.  Those laws and policies must be repealed.

And it's also time for the people in the Environmentalist Movement to grow up and get a life.

The Appeal To Emotion

An ability that we as Human Beings have is to be able to learn from our own errors  And to preferably learn from the errors made by others.

In his campaign for the office of President of the United States in 1964 Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater made numerous errors.  One mistake that stood out in particular was the Appeal To Emotion.  During the campaign he said:

In your heart you know he’s right.

This one statement was absolutely wrong.  In it Senator Goldwater asked us to not actually see things as they are.  He are also asks us to not use the uniquely Human capacity to conceptually think and to construct a larger and complete mental picture that incorporates all of our actual knowledge.

In this one statement we are asked to not think and only to make a decision on the base of an emotion.  And in the real world the result of acting on emotion instead of rational thought is invariably a failure.

But that’s not the whole picture.  The Appeal To Emotion is a tactic used by statist politicians around the world.  And it was  most effectively used by Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Barack Obama.

But if the Appeal To Emotion is wrong then why should they use it at all?

In the above mentioned cases the politicians and their parties are absolutely wrong.  Their programs and the underlying philosophy can be illuminated by rational thought and then properly rejected as being completely wrong.  Thus those who believe in the primacy of the state can only obtain their desired powers through the deception of the electorate. 

Unfortunately for us the cultural foundation for winning through the Appeal To Emotion has already been laid.  Throughout the nations of the West the intellectual establishment has been taken over by Marxists and other nihilists in general.  To immunize their doctrines from the effect of rational thought they have systematically denounced the exercise of reason.  Although their goal is the triumph of Marxism they have also opened the virtual gates of the West to the savagery of Islam.

To survive and ultimately to prosper we must bring back Reason as the way of life. 

One Line Campaign Promise

And here it is:

BARRY SOETERO also known as, BARRACK OBAMA, has a great deal to answer for, and as your actually elected President I WILL see to it that he does!

Good Night.

Silly Men

Michael Palin of Monty Python has come out and said that the surviving members of the group will not mock Islam out of fear of retaliation.

Too [EXPLETIVE] bad.

[Reference to the Unknown Joke deleted]


The surrender of the remaining members of Monty Python to Islam is a clear indication of the state of government and culture in the United Kingdom.

It appears that we will have to write the lot of them off.

And one final word on this matter:

Every nuke is sacred.
Every nuke is great.
If a nuke is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Horror Story, or Think Of It As Insanity In Action

One of the websites I routinely visit is FARK.   The name of the site is a substitute for a word commonly used in barnyards and barracks.  This site functions by providing links to news stories on the net and then providing a forum for members of the site to comment on the story.

Today the site of The Raw Story provides us with a clear example of what is wrong in our nation. 

A flute virtuoso was returning to New York via John F. Kennedy Airport when Customs officials confiscated and destroyed the instruments he was carrying with him.

According to Boujemaa Razgui, the officials told him that his 11 flutes — each of which he had constructed, by hand, himself — “were agricultural products and had to be destroyed.”

What the Hell?

This was nothing but an arbitrary act of destruction by the command of a tax-fed bureaucrat.  It was a naked exercise of destructive power for no valid reason.  This was not an act to protect a right but the willful violation of a right. No one's life was endangered by any of the instruments that were destroyed and no over-subsidized farmer was in danger of being put off his farm by the actions of the flutist.

Seriously,  I once worked on an independently-owned phone bank that raised money for the Republican Party for two weeks.  Yes, only two weeks.  The dialing function was completely automated.  There were two groups of people that I absolutely dreaded coming in contact with were the retired elderly and farmers.  With those two groups, especially the farmers, there was always the demand for  for more money from the taxpayers.  The idea that the taxpayers could no longer bear the burden placed upon them did not enter their heads at all.

It took two weeks before I went to my supervisor and told that I could no longer take the pressure of being polite, if not the appearance of being friendly, to these specific people.

This will NOT be a problem in my current campaign for the office of President as I will be running as the champion of the actual tax paying citizens of our nation.

Returning to the horror at hand, the flutist  created each instrument by hand to play within specific styles of music.  To replace each instrument the victim of this senseless act must again craft them by hand himself.  The time to do this was taken from him by whim as if the proverbial Grim Reaper had shortened his life with the swing of the scythe.

Going to the musical instrument shop simply won't do.
