Liberal:  One who identifies clear criticism of racism as being racist.

I'm not making this up.

Gun Control In Action

The disarmament of The People only benefits the criminals.  It benefits those within The State by intent.  And it benefits those outside of apparatus of The State by accident.  The claim that members of the public will be protected by their own disarmament is an absolute lie.  And disarming the citizens of the nation is clearly an act of treason.

 Update 2115 CDT: The content of character does actually matter.  What I have to say about the content of character of the Minneapolis rioters requires the use of obscene language.

Thoughts Of The Day

If Petain hadn't collaborated with the Germans, he'd be be looked upon as hero today.  But he did collaborate.  As a result, Petain is properly looked upon as a Traitor.

Who else is corroborating?  The Left with the proponents of Islamic militarism.

Of course a Collectivist’s going to have a problem with selfishness.  It's not just an issue of tax policy.  Before one can say, ‘this is wrong, I won't do it’, one has to say ‘I’.
 
Conscience is the expression of the ego in the moral realm.  To make a moral judgment and to act on it are basically selfish acts.  It’s the self that sees through its own eyes and acts on its own knowledge of right and wrong.  Or to put it another way, you can't really be selfish if you can't live with yourself.  Rational Selfishness as Ayn Rand tried to define and advocate was limited to acts which benefited one's self but caused no affirmative harm or inflicted a cost on another person.

Narcissism on the other hand, especially in the political realm, isn’t concerned with the injuries and burdens inflicted on other people.  In fact, the more destructive the consequences of obedience to those who obey the narcissist, the better.  Human sacrifice with beating hearts cut out and victims flayed alive, that's great, millions worked to death in slave labor camps in Siberia, that's better, as far as the narcissist is concerned. 

On Joe Biden

It was obvious that Joe Biden was functionally a moron.  This allowed The Big Zero to proof himself against impeachment and assassination.  But the fact is that Barrack Obama clearly doesn't understand what Human Life is and thus has no understanding of the role of government in a Human society.

Update 2225 CDT:  I been reading up the riots.  I've written a number of negative things on the Minneapolis Police, like this.

Thoughts Of The Day

It's come to my attention that Whoopi Goldberg is irrationally afraid that the Republican party will somehow resurrect the practice of chattel slavery.  It would be all too easy to dismiss Ms. Goldberg as an ignorant something that rhymes with runt, but I will instead respond in a more gentlemanly manner:

"Ms. Goldberg, the Republican Party led this nation in the bloodiest war in it's history in order to put an end to chattel slavery.  We are not about to reconsider our position on the issue."

As far as Americans are concerned there's no such thing as a legitimate monarch.

Thought For The Day

Blast From The Past

The Tripwire
by
D. van Oort & J.F.A. Davidson
From The Resister

"How we burned in the prison camps later thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive?"-- Alexander Solzhenitzyn, Gulag Archipelago

What would be the tripwire resulting in open rebellion? Examining the Bill of Rights, and considering EXISTING laws only, and not failed attempts, you will find that every clause has been violated to one degree or another.

Documenting those violations would fill volumes, and it is important to remember that only government can violate the exercise of unalienable individual rights and claim immunity from retribution. We omit martial law or public suspension of the Constitution as a tripwire. The overnight installation of dictatorship obviously would qualify as "the tripwire," but is not likely to occur. What has occurred, what is occurring, is the implementation of every aspect of such dictatorship without an overt declaration. The Constitution is being killed by attrition. The Communist Manifesto is being installed by accretion. Any suggestion that martial law is the tripwire leads us to the question: what aspect of martial law justifies the first shot?

For much the same reason, we will leave out mass executions of the Waco variety. For one thing, they are composite abuses of numerous individual rights. Yet, among those abuses, the real tripwire may exist. For another, those events are shrouded in a fog of obfuscation and outright lies. Any rebellion must be based on extremely hard and known facts. Similarly, no rebellion will succeed if its fundamental reasons for occurring are not explicitly identified. Those reasons cannot be explicitly identified if, in place of their identification, we simply point to a composite such as Waco and say, "See, that's why; figure it out." Any suggestion that more Wacos, in and of themselves, would be the tripwire, simply leads us back again to the question: what aspect of them justifies rebellion?

For the same reasons, we leave out a detailed account of Ayn Rand's identification of the four essential characteristics of tyranny. She identified them quite correctly, but together they are just another composite from which we must choose precipitating causes. These characteristics are: one-party rule, executions without trial for political offenses, expropriation or nationalisation of private property, and "above all," censorship.

With regard to the first characteristic of tyranny, what is the real difference between the Fabian socialist Republican Party and the overtly [Bolshevik] socialist Democratic Party? Nothing but time. Regarding the second we have the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team and the ATF's enforcement branch. In action they simply avoid the embarrassment of a trial. Regarding the third, we have asset forfeiture "laws," the IRS, the EPA, the FCC, the FDA, the Federal Reserve, the Justice Department's Antitrust Division, and a myriad of other executive branch agencies, departments, and commissions whose sole function is to regulate business and the economy. Regulating business for the common good (fascism) is no different in principle than outright nationalisation (communism).

However, the fourth characteristic of tyranny, censorship, is the obvious primary tripwire. When ideology and the reporting of facts and how-to instructions are forbidden, there is nothing remaining but to fight. Freedom of speech and persuasion -- the freedom to attempt to rationally convince willing listeners -- is so fundamental an individual right that without it no other rights, not even the existence of rights, can be enforced, claimed, debated, or even queried.

Does this censorship include the regulation of the "public" airwaves by the FCC, as in the censorship which prohibits tobacco companies from advertising -- in their own defense -- on the same medium which is commanded by government decree to carry "public service" propaganda against them? Does it include federal compulsion of broadcasters to air politically-correct twaddle for "The Children"? Does it include the Orwellian "Communications Decency Act"? Does it include any irrationalist "sexual harassment" or tribalist "hate speech" laws which prohibit certain spoken words among co-workers? The answer: unequivocally yes.

Although the above do not pertain to ideological or political speech, yet they are censorship and are designed to intimidate people into the acceptance of de facto censorship. We say that any abrogation of free speech, and any form of censorship, which cannot be rectified by the soap box, the ballot box, or the jury box, must be rectified by the cartridge box -- or lost forever.

Americans have been stumbling over tripwires justifying overt resistance for well over 130 years. On one hand, we submit that gun confiscation is a secondary tripwire only. It is second to censorship because if speech is illegal we cannot even discuss the repeal of gun control, or any other population controls. If only guns are illegal, we may still convince people to repeal those laws. On the other hand, gun confiscation may be a sufficient tripwire because the primary one, censorship, can be fully implemented only after the citizenry has been disarmed.

Resistance, in the context of this article, means those legitimate acts by individuals which compel government to restrict its activities and authority to those powers delegated to the Congress by the people in the Constitution.

The distinction to be drawn here is that the objective of patriotic resistance is to restore original Constitutional government, not change the form of government. To this end we believe: The enforcement of any laws -- local, state, or federal -- that through the action or inaction of the courts makes nugatory the individual means of resisting tyranny, justifies resistance.

The operative terms of the above statement are the parameters that must be defined and understood if resistance to tyranny and despotism is to be honourable, and for the cause of individual liberty, rather than anarchy resulting from a new gang of tyrants. Rebellion can never be justified so long as objective means of redress are available, which are themselves not subverted or rendered impotent by further or parallel subjective legislation.

The goal of patriots throughout the country must be the restoration of objective constitutional law and order. The failure to enforce a subjective law (i.e. the Communications Decency Act) does not justify that law existing, but it also does not justify resistance. This is because non-enforcement leaves avenues of redress, including the forbidden activity itself, still available. Should a lower court uphold or ignore a case that challenges subjective law, peaceable means of redress are still open by higher or lateral courts in another jurisdiction.

However, should the U.S. Supreme Court uphold subjective laws, or refuse to hear the cases challenging them, then the legislative, executive, and judicial branches have all failed to guarantee individual liberty, from the widest principles to the smallest details. A single refusal by the highest court in the land to overturn a whim-based subjective law, or to refuse to hear the case, is sufficient to justify resistance to that law because there is simply nowhere left to turn for further attempts at redress. At such time nobody is morally bound by that law. Tyranny gets one chance per branch.
America is either a constitutional republic or it is not. If we can restore our republic it will ultimately occur through reason, and reason will then lead our representatives to make unconstitutional those laws which, by any objective standard of justice, should have never been considered in the first place. However, we cannot assert our claim to restore our liberty if we but accede to a single socialist construct. Freedom and serfdom cannot coexist. We cannot have it both ways.

Life, and the means to preserve it, cannot coexist with disarmament. Liberty, and its rational exercise, cannot coexist with subjective constraints. Property, and its acquisition, use, and disposal cannot coexist with expropriation. The federal government's first task is to obey the Constitution. It has refused. Our first task as free men is to force the government to obey it again. The Constitution of the United States of America is a constraint on the federal government, not on the individual.
Likewise, the constitutions of the various states are constraints on the state governments, not on the individual. The Constitution contains many provisions allowing the violation of our natural rights as free men by immoral and unethical men in government. The true heroes of the ratification debates were the Anti-federalists, who secured Federalist guarantees that the Bill of Rights would amend the Constitution.

To their undying credit, the Federalists lived up to their promise. Nevertheless, only after constitutional limitations on government have been restored in their original form can we consider amending the Constitution to redress its very few remaining defects (for example, the absence of a separation of state and the economy clause).

Laws that make nugatory the means of resisting tyranny and despotism determine the tripwire. The creeping legislative erosion of the 2nd Amendment is not the only tripwire that justifies resistance. We submit that any gun control is a secondary tripwire. Not only because it can be effortlessly evaded, but also because it strengthens our cause. It is second only to censorship. If speech is illegal we can discuss neither repeal of gun control, or the repeal of any other unconstitutional "law."

Censorship is not a tripwire, it is THE tripwire. Thus, by default, censorship morally justifies rebellion.

Under censorship, no other rights, including the right to be free from censorship, can be advocated, discussed, or queried. It is incorrect to say that after censorship comes utter subjugation. Censorship is utter subjugation. There is no greater usurpation of liberty while remaining alive. After censorship come the death camps, and they are not a prerequisite of censorship, they are merely a symptom of it. Censorship qua censorship is sufficient in itself to justify open rebellion against any government that legislates, enforces, or upholds it.

However, that is not the half of it. Censorship is alone in being the only violation of individual rights that does not require actual enforcement or challenges in court, before rebellion is justified. When the government forbids you to speak or write, or use your own or a supporter's property to address willing listeners or readers, that government has openly and forcibly declared that the art of peaceful persuasion is dead and will not be tolerated. Upon that very instant, all peaceful avenues of redress have been closed and the only possible method of regaining that liberty is force. Whenever we give up that force, we are not only ruined, we deserve to be ruined.

Censorship is already being "legally" imposed through accretion by compromisers, appeasers, and pragmatists within government at all levels. Note the demands by "progressive" organisations and self-appointed "civil rights" groups to ban so-called "hate" speech (they mean thought and debate), or "extreme" language (they mean principled dissent), or "paramilitary" books (they mean the knowledge of how to resist). When our government imposes censorship, it will be because our ability to use force to resist censorship no longer exists. Buying copies of The Resister is not yet prohibited; buying machine guns already is. Unwarranted search for unlicensed books has not yet occurred; unwarranted search for unlicensed weapons has already begun. As your unalienable right of peaceable discussion and dissent is being daily abridged, your right to peaceably assemble and associate in advocacy of your own self-defence, according to your own free will, has already been outlawed (courtesy of ADL's "model" anti-militia legislation).

Unconstitutional federal agencies now arm themselves with weapons that you may not own, and train in tactics that you are prohibited from mastering. Before a government is sure you won't resist, it will make sure you can't resist.

The most irrational, contradictory, short-range, whimsical notion possible to men who claim the unalienable right to resist tyrannical government is the notion that they must first let their ability to resist be stripped from them before they have the right to use it. This is the argument of so-called conservatives who pish-tosh the notion of legislative "slippery-slopes," and sycophantic adherents of a supreme Court that has no constitutionally delegated authority to interpret the Constitution in the first place. We reject the notion of mindless compliance with subjective "laws." Subjective laws must be resisted on metaphysical and epistemological principles, moral and ethical grounds, and on constitutional and historical precedence.

No rational man desires ends without means. No rational man can be faced with his own imminent subjugation and truly believe that, once things are as bad as they can get, "sometime" "someone" will do "something" "somehow" to counteract that trend. Any man who counsels another to appeal to those mystical equivalents of "divine intervention" for "deliverance" from tyranny is our enemy by all principles conceivable within the scope of rational human intelligence.

The time to organise resistance is not after censorship, but before it. The time to prepare resistance is when our ability to resist is being threatened. The time to begin resistance is when that threat has been upheld or ignored by the courts. The unalienable rights that safeguard our ability to resist are limited to those which, if not violated, allow us to plan and use all materials necessary for resistance. We submit that only the following meet that criteria: freedom of speech and of the press, and the right to peaceably assemble--so that we may advocate ideas, report and discuss news, and instruct others how to carry out resistance activities (1st Amendment); the right to keep and bear arms -- so that we may have appropriate force in our hands should we need it, and be trained to use such force as necessary (2nd Amendment); the right to be let alone -- so that we may be free of government intrusion in our lives, liberty, and property (3rd Amendment)); the right to be secure in our persons, dwellings, papers, and property from unwarranted, unaffirmed searches and seizures -- so that our records, ideological materials, and weapons will remain in our hands (4th Amendment).

For the purpose of this discussion, we believe that no other rights are relevant because if every individual right other than those four were violated -- although it would be an unspeakably evil act on the part of the government, justifying immediate and unforgiving resistance -- their abridgement would not effect our ability to resist. If any of the first four amendments are infringed by legislation, enforced by executive power, and their abrogation is upheld or ignored by the courts, unremitting, forcible resistance, and aid and comfort to its citizen-soldiers, is a moral imperative for every single person who believes that life, liberty, and property are unalienable and self-existing, and not grants of government privilege.

"The United States should get rid of its militias." -- Josef Stalin, 1933

"The foundation of a free government begins to be undermined when freedom of speech on political subjects is restrained; it is destroyed when freedom of speech is wholly denied." -- William Rawle, LL.D. Philadelphia, 1825

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes ... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." -- Thomas Jefferson (1764) -- Quoting 18th Century criminologist Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment

Differences

In Russia high school students are required to read The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn with assembling and disassembling a standard infantry weapon.  American high school students can't even do that.  American high school students are ignorant of Totalitarianism and tought to fear weapons.  Many American High School students have become advocates of Totalitarianism.  This is clearly wrong.

 

Thoughts For The Day

The disarmament of The People only benefits the criminals.  It benefits those within The State by intent.  And it benefits those outside of apparatus of The State by accident.  The claim that members of the public will be protected by their own disarmament is an absolute lie.  And disarming the citizens of the nation is clearly an act of treason.

I'm known as a supporter of the Republican Party, but I also criticize it.

There's nothing quite as intolerant and closed mined as a “tolerant and open minded liberal.”

Revolutions happen because the rulers do something stupid.

Some people don't understand Conservatism.

A Suggestion

The notion that the person's the property of the state, and may be used as a slave or killed as a diseased animal for disobedience, is the central social premise of totalitarianism.  The fundamental value of the parasites who create and make up the membership of the totalitarian movements is power over the productive.  They must have power over the people who do real thought and real labor because without it they would die.  The users must exercise force on the productive of else they'll die off.

Because a human right is a restraint on the power of the state, all the Rights of Man, starting with the Right to Life, must be treated as null and void.

We all know where this is going.

All over the world, especially in Europe and Asia, there are monuments to the depravity of the totalitarians. The remains of slave labor camps and extermination centers.  Our planet is dotted with the mass graves of those who would not or could not be used by the users.  Even in the United States, along the Trail Of Tears, there are the graves of those Natives whose land was stolen and given to the slave owning elites by the Democrat Andrew Jackson.  The Democrats continued to support the slave owning elites and to protect the practice of slavery.  Even after the Civil War they created a terrorist arm, the Ku Klux Klan, to suppress and murder former slaves.

And then there's the still unpunished crime of Democrat William Clinton.

In my mind the title of Democrat has become synonymous with the term Murderer.

The Democratic Party in the United States has in effect become a totalitarian party, and like the National Socialists and Soviet Communists they must be identified and dealt with as such.

By nothing less than complete annihilation.

Question And Answer

 What's a Peace Activist?

The unavoidable fact of reality is that the self-styled "peace activist" isn't a morally superior being, he or she is a willing accomplice to conquest, slavery, and mass murder.  They're an active hazard to human life.  Or in an ancient tongue: hostis humani generis, an enemy of mankind in general.

Sketch

I know it’s not original but I had to do it, so here’s the Dead Prophet Sketch.


The cast:  Tom Cruise, a short guy.  David Miscavige, a really short guy.


Tom Cruise enters the shop pushing a large leather chair with dead old man on it.

TC: Hello, I want to complain.

(Miscavige doesn’t respond.)

TC: Hello, Miss?

DM: What do you mean "miss"?

TC: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!

DM: We're closing for lunch.

TC: Never mind that! I’m here to complain about this prophet that I purchased about half an hour ago from this shop.

DM: Oh yes, the, uh, the Nebraska Red. What's, uh...What's wrong with him?

TC: He's dead, that's what's wrong with him!

DM: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.

TC: Look, I know a dead prophet when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.

DM: No, no, he's not dead, he's, he's resting! Remarkable prophet, isn't, it? Beautiful haircut!

TC: But he's stone dead.

DM: Nononono, no, no! He's resting!

TC: All right then, if he's resting, I'll wake him up! (shouting at the chair) 'Hello, Ronnie! I've got some lovely cash for you to grab if you show...

(Miscavige hits the chair)

DM: There, he moved!

TC: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the chair!

DM: I never!!

TC: Yes, you did!

Owner: I never, never did anything...

TC: (yelling and hitting the chair repeatedly) HELLO RONNIE!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!

(Takes Hubbard out of the chair and thumps his head on the counter. Stands him up and watches him fall to the floor.)

TC: Now that's what I call a dead prophet.

DM: No, no.....No, he's stunned!

TC: STUNNED?!?

DM: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was waking up! Nebraska Reds stun easily, sir.

TC: Now look... I've definitely had enough of this. That prophet clearly deceased, and when I bought him not half an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out following a prolonged lecture.

DM: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the wheat fields.

TC: PINING for the WHEAT FIELDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?  And why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got him home?

DM: Nebraska Reds prefer to lay on the back! Remarkable prophet, isn’t he? Lovely haircut!

TC: Look, I took the liberty of examining that prophet when I got him home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting in his chair in the first place was that he had been NAILED there.

(pause)

DM: Well, of course he was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed him down, he would have stood up and gone VOOM!

TC: "VOOM"?!? Sir, this man wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through him! He's totally demised!

DM: No, no! He's pining!

TC: He's not pining! He’s passed on! This prophet is no more! He has ceased to be! He’s expired and gone to meet his maker! He’s a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the chair he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He’s off the twig! He’s kicked the bucket, He’s shuffled off his mortal coil and moved on to Target Two!! THIS IS AN EX-PROPHET!!

(pause)

DM: Well, I'd better replace him, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry sir, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop we're out of prophets.

TC: I see. I see, I get the picture.

DM: I got a slug.

(pause)

TC: Does it talk?

DM: Nnnnot really.

TC: WELL IT'S NOT A REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?

DM: N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at his feet)

TC: Well?

DM: It leaves a trail of slime.

TC: All right.

Thoughts Of The Day

Collaborators always appear when conquest happens, this is unfortunate.

I once had to close a checking account at TCF Bank.  The person I was talking to was making excuses for not complying with my request.  It was only when I told them that I would call the MN Attorney General’s office did they comply.  I suppose it did help that the sitting Attorney General was the DFL goon Skip Humphrey, who had a reputation of being one trench coat short of being a proper Soviet thug.

In reality the Citizens of the United States are the sovereign authority.  As such have the right to publish and speak the truth, and to read and hear the truth, in order to carry out their obligation as the sovereign authority.

The novels 1984 and Atlas Shrugged were written as warnings to Humanity.  Not as instruction manuals for enemies of Mankind.

Justice consists of getting what someone deserves, not receiving what someone wants.  The absolute last thing the other side wants is justice, because that would result in their extinction.

It doesn't matter if you're bitten by a rabid doberman or a rabid poodle, you're still going to get rabies shots.

Many of my predictions are wrong, such as this one.

Before one can lie to others, one has to lie to one's self.

To Democrats the fundamental value is power.  Freedom is the negation of power and therefore must be opposed.  Or at least in public Freedom must not be supported lest the victims come to understand their actual position within the socialist order.

 That which doesn't kill you isn't trying hard enough.

Management Style

I now have to say that I'm personally in favor of Darth Vader's style of management.

Blast From The Past

H. Beam Piper on the failure of Civilization as excerpted from his novel SPACE VIKING (Copyright 1963, by Ace Books, Inc.)

“Yes, for one thing, we don’t have the Neobarbarians,” somebody said. “And if they ever came out here, we’d blow them to Em-See-Square in nothing flat. Might be a good thing if they did, too; it would stop us squabbling among ourselves.”

Harkaman looked at him in surprise. “Just who do think the Neobarbarians are, anyhow?” he asked. “Some race of invading nomads, Atilla’s Huns in spaceships?”

“Well, isn’t that who they are?’ Gorram asked.

“Nifflheim, no! There aren’t a dozen and a half planets in the Old federation that still have hyperdrive, and they’re all civilized. ... These are homemade barbarians. Workers and peasants who revolted to seize and divide the wealth and then found they’d smashed the means of production and killed of the all the technical brains. Survivors on planets hit during the Interstellar Wars, from the Eleventh to the Thirteenth Centuries, who lost the machinery of civilization. Followers of political leader on local-dictatorship planets. Companies of mercenaries thrown out of employment and living by pillage. Religious fanatics following self-anointed prophets.”

[...]

“You’ve seen decivilized planets. How does it happen?”

“I know how it’s happened on a good many: War. Destruction of cities and industries. Survivors among ruins, too busy keeping their own bodies alive to try to keep civilization alive. Then they lose all knowledge of how to be civilized.”

“That’s catastrophic decivilization. There is also decivilization by erosion, and while it’s going on, nobody notices it. Everybody is proud of their civilization, their wealth and culture. But trade is falling off; fewer ships come in each year. So there is boastful talk about planetary self-sufficiency; who needs off-planet trade anyhow? Everybody seems to have money, but the government is always broke. Deficit spending–and always more vital social services for which the government has to spend money. The most vital one, of course, is buying votes to keep the government in power. And it gets harder for the government to get anything done.

“The soldiers are sloppier at drill, and their uniforms and weapons aren’t taken care of. The non-coms are insolent. And more and more parts of the city are dangerous at night, and then even in daytime. And it’s been years since a new building went up, and the old ones aren’t being repaired anymore.”

[...]

“Our grandchildren, if any will probably be raiding Murduk.”

“You think it’ll be like that?”

“Don’t you? You were there, you saw what was happening. The barbarians are rising; they have a leader, and they’re uniting. Every society rests on a barbarian base. The people who don’t understand civilization, and wouldn’t like it if they did. The hitchhikers. The people who create nothing, and who don’t appreciate what others have created for them, and who think civilization is something that just exists and that all they need to do is enjoy what they understand of it–luxuries, a high living standard, and easy work for high pay. Responsibilities? Phooey! What do they have a government for?

Trask nodded.

“And now, the hitchhikers think they know more about the car than the people who designed it, so they’re going to grab the controls. Zaspar Makann says they can, and he’s the Leader.” He poured a drink from a decanter that had been looted on Pushan; there was a planet where a republic had been overthrown in favor of a dictatorship four centuries ago, and the planetary dictatorship had fissioned into a dozen regional dictatorships, and now they were down to the peasant-village and handicraft-industry level. “I don’t understand it, though. I was reading about Hitler on the way home. I wouldn’t be surprised if Zaspar Makann had been reading about Hitler, too. He’s using all Hitler’s tricks. But Hitler come to power in a country which had been impoverished by a military defeat. Marduk hasn’t fought a war in almost two generations, and that one was a farce.”

“It wasn’t the war that put Hitler into power. It was the fact that the ruling class of his nation, the people who kept things running, were discredited. The masses, the homemade barbarians, didn’t have anybody to take their responsibilities for them. What they have on Marduk is a ruling class that has been discrediting itself. A ruling class that’s ashamed of its privileges and shirks its duties. A ruling class that has begun to believe that the masses are just as good as they are, which they manifestly are not. And a ruling class that won’t use force to maintain its position. And they have a democracy, and they are letting the enemies of democracy shelter themselves behind democratic safeguards.”

Thoughts For The Day

A member of Antifa can see an actual Enemy of Mankind staring at them in the bathroom mirror.

Antisemitism in politics is the practical equivalent of a dead canary in a coal mine, I can't say this often enough.

All forms of authority are based on knowledge and political authority is no exception.

Reality isn't subject to a majority vote.

Anyone who feels that they're automatically right is automatically wrong.

Thoughts For The Day

A power granted will be a power that's abused.

Never try to be clever.  It never works and it only annoys the people who actually are smarter than you are.  (You don't want to do this.)

Quote

Clearly Cleared says.

"Wake up and smell the LIES being told daily on mainstream media.  It is JUST LIKE Scientology so at least you won’t suffer from cog diss if you can’t stand the truth.  Just tune in to these media lying machines.  Don’t these journalists have any integrity or are they “reporting their opinions” in the best interest of their favorite political party.  Seems that way to me.  Honest news is dead. All you get is 24/7/365 days a year of OPINIONS and very little news. Bring back 1/2 news with 10 min, news, 10 min Sports (well, lengthen that part – LOL) and 10 min weather.  Bring it back!!  Boycott all media outlets"

A Fact

The original purpose of Gun Control was to keep firearms out the hands of Blacks, now the purpose is to keep firearms out of the hands of all Human Beings.

Thoughts For The Day

I object to despotism, death, and destruction, therefore I'm some kind of evil being?

Let's legalize everything and let evolution take it's course.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it a highly sought-after voting bloc.

Just because someone else is holding the gun doesn't change the fact that someone is engaged in the act of robbery.
 
If I recall correctly the Allies only hanged one propagandist at Nuremberg.  Obviously the willing collaborators in the Mainstream Media didn't get the message or they believe that the message doesn't apply to them.  Should our present internal political situation devolve into an open civil war, I'd suggest doing a proper Roman style decimation of the willing propagandists in the MSM.  That's hang every tenth antihuman hack.

H. Beam Piper once wrote that political revolutions occur in a nation because the ruling class becomes discredited.  The Republican Party has to a large degree discredited itself by their continued insistence on practicing politics as usual and their continued practice of making deals with the other side.

A totalitarian is a totalitarian.  It doesn't matter if the bullet in your head was placed there by a National Socialist, or a Communist.  What does matter is that you're the victim of someone who truly believed that you and other people existed to serve as tools and materials for the construction of their ideological fantasy and who also believed that those who do not submit are trash to be disposed of.  Every member of the founding leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was once in the custody of the Russian Police for their revolutionary activities.  They should have been put to death, but were instead imprisoned and eventually released. Adolf Hitler was arrested and tried for his attempt to overthrow the State Government of Bavaria by force.  He should have been hanged for treason, but was instead imprisoned and released.  Tens of millions of people died because persons in positions of authority did not recognize the danger that these violent revolutionaries represented and failed to exercise the full powers available to them to prevent the great massacres of the Twentieth Century.

We need to understand that we’re stuck in an ancient struggle against people who believe that POWER is an actual value.  We need to understand that The Republican Party was founded as a response to the disgust held by many people to the current manifestation of Statism.   To deny free will is to deny personal responsibility for one's own actions.  And in an age when one can kill more people with the stroke of a pen than with a lifetime's use of a personal weapon that is a pretty useful excuse.

 Hatred is normal for Leftists.

  “We must teach our children to hate. Hatred is the basis of communism.”

  --V.I. Lenin, 1923

On the subject of Marxism, Mark Hendrickson wrote:

"The hateful spirit of Marx and Lenin has suffused all leftist ideologies, movements, and regimes, whether Soviet communism, Hitler’s national socialism, or today’s illiberal progressivism and pagan environmentalism. Only hatred could explain the willingness to kill, enslave, and rob vast numbers of innocent human beings. Hatred corrodes one’s conscience. Under its toxic influence, a person will regard man’s God-given right to be secure in his life, liberty, and property as nuisances to be overcome, not commandments to be obeyed. The flip side of hatred is an inflated self-love, self-importance and self-righteousness so extreme that respect for other human beings diminishes and, in extreme cases (Stalin, Mao, Castro, Kim, et al.), disappears."

When I was involved with the U of M Objectivist Club, we had several lecturers from the Ayn Rand Institute.  One of the lecturers was Dr. Peter Schwartz on the subject of Environmentalism.  The club put up several posters advertising the lecture.  Some of those posters were replaced by leftists with posters with obscenities scrawled on them, including swastikas.

Suicide Is Painless

No it isn't.

The idea that Jeffery Epstein (who could testify against Hillary) was murdered is being dismissed as a conspiracy theory.  The Mainstream Media Drones are reporting Jeffery Epstein committed suicide.  Only the Mainstream Media Drones believe it.

Thought For The Day

I'm not surprised that Chinese Communist Party lied about role in the current pandemic.  To those who value power over all else, no act is too depraved and no bodycount is too high.

Thought For The Day

There's more to The Right than that idiot Kenneth Copeland.  But some people refuse to understand this.

Thoughts And A Question

The Gun Control movement has all the credibility of the National Socialist German Workers Party,  which is to say none at all.

Bad People often believe they're good people.

Bad People often HATE being told they're bad people.

It's very easy to cause a Leftist to become angry, and even to cause one to demand the exercise of deadly force against you.  All you have to do is speak the truth.

Antisemitism in politics is the practical equivalent of a dead canary in a coal mine, I can't say this often enough.

When was the last time a bad person thought they were a bad person?

Progress In Action

The goal of those who style themselves as Progressives is simply to obtain absolute power over everything and everyone.  No restraint has ever been shown by any of the partisans of “Progress” from Robspierre to the present day.  As a result our world is littered with the mass graves of those who were murdered in the name of Progress.

The fact is the concept of “Progress” is no more than an excuse for the unrestrained exercise of absolute power.  So what's this “partisanship” that the self appointed masters are whining about?   It's simply the fact that those condemned to be the slaves won't submit to the self appointed masters. In the ideal form of the state their whim reigns supreme and those who stand in opposition and disobedience are to be permanently silenced.  Thus the mass graves that litter our world.

In this state the Masters are no different than a pack of predatory animals.

So what is to done with them?

In actual ethics the proper way to respond to a predatory animal is to kill it.  The Masters are essentially a pack of predatory animals, and thus the proper response to their actions is simply to kill them.

Thought For The Day

The Democrats, like the National Socialists, believe they are good people.  But in objective reality they're evil.

The assholes (yes, I know I'm insulting assholes) who ran the extermination apparatus at various death camps knew what they were doing but also identified themselves as good people.  You can't argue with evil, you can only destroy it.

 UPDATE 1640 CDT:  I ordered groceries on Friday and they were scheduled to be delivered today.  The groceries haven't been delivered.

Messages For Progressives

You don't want to follow the rules against Censorship and Public Disarmament.

Fine, I understand.

We'll use the Nuremberg rules on you then.

We used them on surviving National Socialists in 1946, we can use them on you now.

Donald J. Trump is the one man standing between you and the noose you really deserve.

By the way, Power isn't a value.

Another Step Back

January 3, 1975

White House
Washington, D.C.

The meeting of Vice President Bush with Governor Reagan went well.  Governor Reagan would run as President with Gerald R. Ford as Vice President and Vice President Bush would run as Governor of Texas.

Federal Penitentiary
Leavenworth, KS

Two Rangers with stun sticks in their powered armor suits stood outside of Hubbard's cell.  A prison guard opened the door of the cell.  The two Rangers charged in and struck Hubbard with their stun sticks.  The two Rangers placed duct tape on Hubbard's mouth and taped his hands and feet.  The two Rangers then dragged Hubbard out of the cell, out of the federal prison where an Uptimer lander was parked. The two Rangers then deposited Hubbard on the ground before Evelyn Boatman.

"Hello Ronnie."  Said Boatman to Hubbard.  "Even the Feds got tired of you, which is a major accomplishment."

Boatman looked in Hubbard's eyes.  Boatman could clearly see the anger in Hubbard's eyes.

Boatman continued to speak.

"I know that Jack Parsons was a rocket scientist, but like Alester Crowley, he was a mystical idiot.  Even JPL didn't have a portrait of him.  The Mariner 2 space probe was eventually recovered and placed on display in the lobby of JPL.  We published the truth about you and Scientology and you became angry.  The content of character does actually matter.  You knew we would respond to your assault on us with deadly force.  There simply isn't a excuse for what you did, Scientology's extinct now.  Well so's the House of Saud.  The American Constitution and the Federation Charter specifically prohibit cruelty, but you hold yourself exempt from the law.  Fine, I'll take your word for it.  There's a crucifix waiting for you."

The two Rangers dragged Hubbard into the lander.  The lander flew to the Uptimer surface base in Nevada.  And Hubbard was dragged out of the lander by the two Rangers and to a crucifix.  Boatman stepped out of the lander and picked up a hammer.  The two Rangers placed Hubbard on the cross.  Boatman started pounding nails through Hubbard's wrists.  Boatman then placed a crown of barbed wire on Hubbard's head.  The two Rangers then erected the cross.  A sign reading "Master of Mankind" was nailed above Hubbard's head.

It took two days for Hubbard to painfully die.


Havana, Republic of Cuba

After midnight Tomas was sleeping.  He didn't hear the CDF special operations team that was about to enter his apartment. The CDF special operations team was armed with the AKM.  The CDF special operations team preferred the Kalashnikov system used by the Soviets over the Stoner system used by the Americans.  Tomas didn't know what was about to hit him.

Holiday

Happy Mass Murder day.

Once again we come to May First.

Karl Marx didn't work.  Neither does Marxism.

 He was racist as shit even for the time. He hated black and Jewish people with a passion. His views on Jews were very similar to those of the Nazis.  People who knew him said he mocked and despised his followers as much as the “bourgeoisie” and felt superior to pretty much everyone. Gustav Techow said “personal domination is the end-all of his every activity”

Marx was the L. Ron Hubbard of his day. A useless, evil piece of shit who managed to amass a following among other useless, evil pieces of shit and others who were too dim to know better.

(I got this from Mark Urbin's tumblr page)

This is the day on which Leftists traditionally shout out their claim to be morally superior beings who are entitled to rule over us mere humans and take the product of our thought and labor to use as they they see fit for the betterment of mankind. And if you really believe their claims then obviously you won't notice the pile of the one hundred million-plus human bodies that the self styled agents of progress have left in their wake as they have made their way to power, and willfully abused that power over us mere humans.  When we see through the ideology and other claims of the Left it's very readily apparent that their doctrine is nothing more than a modernistic facade placed over the old stone age practice of beating up or killing people and taking their stuff.  It is time that we see the Left for what they truly are, not as the vanguard of moral progress, but only a gang of thieves and murderers.

It's simply not possible to reason with, negotiate with, or otherwise peacefully coexist with any person, any group, or any nation, that believes that it has the right to control you or to take things from you by force.  Such persons or entities can only be physically isolated from you or ultimately destroyed.

Peace is the absence of enemies but it is not, as some wish to believe, priceless.

As long as there is one communist who lives there will be no peace.
 
One of things I usually do on May Day is to repost the Affirmations for the Inner Communist, Ayn Rand once said that it was morally acceptable mock evil as long as it was recognized as evil. So once again I present:

Stuart Smalley's Daily Affirmations for the Inner Communist

Monday:

"I'm going to execute and expropriate today just for the heck of it because, gosh darn it, I deserve to have a good time."

Tuesday:

"I am not a fraud, a Marxist yes, but not a fraud."

Wednesday:

"I deserve all the mass adulation from the people I can get without feeling ashamed or being grandiose."

Thursday:

"I will express my feelings today. I will not hide them behind my mustache. My mustache is not a mask for my feelings, but rather a small patch of facial hair that covers my inadequacies."

Friday:

"When I rob a bank for the cause, I will not be playing those parent tapes in my head: "You wield a revolver like a girl" . . . "Why can't you be more like Stalin?" . . . "Philosophy? What kind of major is that? It's useless!"

Saturday:

"Just because I execute Christians and counter-revolutionaries does not mean I'm an mass-murdering psychopath like my father."

Sunday:

"If I must violently put down a counter-revolution today, it is not because I am a bad person or that I am not worthy of love; it is because my people are a bunch of religion-addicted capitalist sons-of-bitches--and I am mean enough, ruthless enough, and dog gone it, people fear me."

We should recall that Comrade Stalin was embalmed and displayed next to Lenin for eight years.

Apparently so everyone in the Soviet Union could be assured that he was in fact dead.

The theory of Communism was invented by a group of professional parasites in order to give the appearance of modernity and moral legitimacy to the stone-age practice of beating-up and killing productive people and taking their stuff. Of course that is about the nicest description I could give to it. Normally I think of the practice of Communism as being the behavior of those who chose to act as sub-human predatory animals. And as with any other predatory animal that attacks human beings I believe that they should be hunted down and killed. Parasite mentalities as a general rule see themselves as superior beings and other people, the productive population, exist solely as either tools that they can use to pursue their goals or as trash to be disposed of. Killing those who rightfully refuse to be the slaves of the self-appointed superior beings is not an act of murder, in their minds it's simply the disposal of hominid garbage. In practical terms a Communist is a mortal enemy of human kind and killing a Communist can be no more wrongful than putting down a rabid animal or destroying any other active hazard to human life.

The fact of the matter is that the self-described "Peace Activist" does not act out of conscience but out of a fraudulent desire to pose as a morally superior being without any regard for the millions of innocents that they condemn to death and servitude. A "Peace Activist" is a willing accessory to the acts of mass slavery and mass murders committed by the various adherents of toxic ideologies such as Socialism and Islam. And killing a "Peace Activist" is not an act of murder, it is in effect the putting down of a diseased animal which is a demonstrated hazard to innocent Human Life.

A Democratic Socialist is still a Socialist, still an Enemy of Mankind, and still a Murderer.

 How many people have Marxists murdered?

Over 3000 a day on average a day during the Cold War.

A basic premise of Collectivism is that all people need a leader to think for them and to collectively direct their lives. In the Collectivist view the Russians needed a big brother or father figure such as Stalin, the Chinese needed a Mao, the Koreans (not just in the north) needed the Kim Dynasty.  And we in the United States absolutely require the guidance of The Big Zero or Hillary. 

(Of course any sympathies the Left ever had for fellow socialists like the Austrian Corporal or the Loud Mouthed Italian fellow have been quietly dropped down the memory hole.)

This is, of course, a total fantasy.

The Shepherd Fantasy appears to be a psychological device that Collectivists use to evade knowledge of, or to mentally blank out, the fact that they're not really useful members of a human society but are truly nothing more than a bunch of parasites and outright predators who're feeding off their betters.

As Ayn Rand once pointed out, they need us. We on the other hand, have absolutely no use for them.

So why won’t the Collectivists get out of the way of those of us who live in the Real World?

Because they know that sooner or later, we'll properly identify them for what they are, and that we'll eventually turn our guns upon them.  How many people have died escaping from capitalism?

 "Better see the Reds dead!"

--Ayn Rand

 "To send men to the firing squad Judicial proof is unnecessary.  These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail.  This is a revolution and a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate."

--Che Guevara, Marxist Murderer

Those who dehumanize themselves cannot claim protection under a human right.  Killing a Marxist is no more an act of murder than putting down a rabid dog or eliminating any other hazard to Human Life.

Josef Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Pol Pot died peacefully instead of properly at the end of a rope.  Socialism was the most toxic ideology promoted in the previous century, there's no excuse to promote it.

If The Democrats want to behave like Socialists, fine.  Let's treat them like Socialists, in the Nuremberg style, from the neck until dead.

And we still have May Day.  Anyone in favor of candlelight vigil to remember the victims of Communism?

From the absolute origin the doctrine of Communism was the result of the rejection of Reason.  In fact the doctrine of Communism is essentially an excuse to behave as predatory animals.  Thus all conceptions of a moral law, including virtually all laws based on the doctrine of a religion*, must be rejected outright.  As God is held to be the author of moral law in the Western Monotheist Tradition his existence must be denied by the practicing Communist.  This leads to the posture of Communists of being Atheists.  The fact is power over productive people is fundamental goal of the practicing Communist and therefore they'll use any excuse, or body of excuses such as Liberation Theology, to obtain it.
