Pest Control

New York City, Manhattan Borough
September 2, 2245

Two police detectives were escorted by two members of Freyan Marine security detail wearing combat gear past the protestors in front of the Freyan Consulate.  The protestors were from The Fremantle Baptist Church.  Many of the protestors held professionally made signs that proclaimed that “God Hates Freyans.”

“The Consul will see you gentlemen right away.”  Proclaimed a Freyan diplomat as the two detectives waited in front of the Consul’s office.  

The police detectives were promptly led into the Consul’s office.

The Consul’s office was paneled in maple wood.  The Freyan Consul, Jennifer March, a woman in her mid-thirties stood up behind her desk as the detectives entered the office.

“Please take a seat.”  The Consul said to the detectives.

The two detectives took their seats before the Consul’s desk.

“So why are you here?”  The Consul asked the detectives.

“We’re here to investigate the murder of Reverend Wayne Martin, ma’am?”  Replied Detective Greeley, the senior of the police detectives.  

“You don’t have to answer our questions, ma’am.”  Said Detective Logan.

Detective Greeley looked at Detective Logan in a foul manner for a moment.

“I want to answer questions.”  Replied the Consul. “Diplomacy runs in our family.  I was the oldest daughter of James and Beth March.”

“Yes, ma’am.”  Replied Detective Greeley.

“So Martin came down with a lethal case of Sudden Lead Poisoning?”  Asked the Consul.

“Yes, ma’am.”  Replied Detective Greeley.  “We’re investigating the murder of Reverend Martin.”

“Nuking the Fremantle Baptist Church while the congregation present would have been bad form.”  Answered the Consul.

“Yes, ma’am.”  Responded Detective Greeley.

“Calling Martin a moron is an insult to morons.”  The Consul said to the detectives.

“Yes, ma’am.”  Responded Detective Greeley.

“Negative actions have negative consequences.”  The Consul said to the detectives.

“Yes, ma’am.”  Responded Detective Greeley.

“Some people believe they’ve exempt from consequences.”  The Consul said to the detectives.

“But Reality is real, those same people believe that the facts of Reality don’t apply to them.”

The Consul continued to lecture.

“Have you ever heard of the Center for Eternal Truth?”  She asked the detectives.

“No ma’am.”  Replied Detective Greeley.

The Consul continued to speak.

“They believed that the facts of Reality and laws of Man didn’t apply to them.  The false prophet Robert Lee Herald sent out someone to murder Evelyn Stone.  Stone was wounded and one of his friends was murdered.  Stone responded by personally airing out Herald’s head, he had no choice in the matter.  We have no choice but to send out a Pest Control Team to air out Martin.  One attribute of the perpetrators of every horror have one thing in common, they believe they’re the good guys.  Martin and his followers believed they’re the good guys.  Early in the Twenty First Century some scholars believed that Jesus Christ didn’t exist.  But what was really shocking was that some scholars put forth the idea that Christianity was created by the rulers of Roman Empire as a political control mechanism.”

“How do you know this, ma’am?”  Asked Detective Greeley.

“I majored in history in college, sir.”  Replied the Consul.

“Where’s the Pest Control Team now, ma’am?”  Asked Detective Greeley.

“They’re outside of your jurisdiction,” replied the Consul, “they should be in Hyperspace by now.”

“The facts of Reality require us to act in your jurisdiction.”  Said the Consul.

With the interview over the two police detectives were escorted by two members of Freyan Marine security detail past the protestors in front of the Freyan Consulate.

Once the electric motors of the police car started humming Detective Greeley had a question for Detective Logan.

“What problem does the Fremantle congregation have with the Freyans?”

Detective Logan answered.

“The Freyans are a bunch of atheists.  There are no churches on Freya, not even storefronts.  The Freyans even have a national holiday to celebrate the birthday of Ayn Rand.”

“What about Madalyn Murray O'Hair?”  Detective Greeley asked.
“The Freyans hate her.”  Detective Logan answered.
“The Freyan suitcase nukes are rated at five kilotons,” Detective Logan also said, “which was one third of the yield of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, and one quarter of the yield of the bomb dropped on Nagasaki.”

“Is that so?”  Replied Detective Greeley.
“Yes.”  Said Detective Logan.
“The Freyans even hanged a bishop.”  Said Detective Logan.
In the Borough of Brooklyn another Freyan Pest Control Team was leaving their safe house.  Each member of the team was armed with a sterilized 9mm ACRS.  The team’s destination was the Fremantle Baptist Church, their mission was to lethally interrupt the meeting that was being held at the church.

In the city of Omaha the Freyan Ambassador, Nathan Stone, was having a meeting with the Federation President.  The Freyans were tired of being harassed by members of the Fremantle Baptist Church.

“Clean up the mess,” said Ambassador Stone, “or we’ll clean it up for you.”

Detectives Greeley and Logan were called to the site of the Fremantle Baptist Church.  One of the New York Police officers guarding the site spoke to Detectives Greeley and Logan.

“There’s been a massacre here.”  She said.

Detectives Greeley and Logan stepped down to the basement of the church.  There were a group of bullet riddled bodies seated around a table.

“It looks they were here for a meeting” Said Detective Logan.

“They met.”  Replied Detective Greeley.

A team from the New York Medical Examiners Office came to the site of the massacre.  The team leader spoke.    

“It couldn’t happen to a better bunch.”  She said.

“Right’” Replied both Detectives Greeley and Logan.

Another playing card was found at the site of the massacre.  The suite was the King of Spades.  A playing card was found at the site of the death of Reverend Martin.  The suite was the Ace of Spades.

In a transparent evidence bag Detective Greeley showed the back of the playing card to Detective Logan.

“What does this mean?”  Detective Greeley asked Detective Logan.

Detective Logan looked at the playing card in the evidence bag.  Detective Logan answered.

“It’s a Death Card, with the Cross of Saint Andrew in white over a field of black, the symbol of the Central Security Agency of the Ursa Major Confederation.”  Replied Detective Logan.

“The Central Security Agency of the Freyan’s is institutionally taking responsibility while individuals who performed the act have fled the scene?”  Asked Detective Greeley.

“That appears to be the case,” replied Detective Logan, “it looks like they left their weapons.”

Detective Logan picked up a sterilized 9mm ACRS.  The 9mm ACR was issued to the armed forces of the Ursa Major Confederation.  The special operation forces of the Ursa Major Confederation used the 9mm ACRS, the short version of the service weapon.

Detective Greeley spoke to Captain Reynolds, the chief of detectives at the 27th Precinct.

“I really don’t believe that we’ll close this case.”

"Let it be asked how any person wholly devoid of talent, skill, accomplishment, wit, beauty, charm, or even the practical ability to earn a living by routine labor, can conceivably become an object of flattering, greeted with applause and given a hearing for the feeblest inanities -- obviously nothing will serve except political position."

-- Isabel Paterson, The God of the Machine (1943)

"When the word leader, or leadership, returns to current use, it connotes a relapse into barbarism. For a civilized people, it is the most ominous word in any language."

Thoughts Of The Day

The more I look at the ongoing disaster in Washington the more I want someone in our armed forces to step up and overthrow the morons who call themselves an administration.  Everyone is fallible, even I made mistakes.  

I had a large pizza order from a group having a meeting at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul.  The male person that I talked to was unable to tell me which specific building on campus they were in.  I asked him several times and all he would tell me was that he was on the campus.  To show how stupid he was I must point out that all buildings on the campus have the name of the building on a sign at the building entrance.  I strongly suspect that the individual may have been a peace activist, but I didn't ask.

On Climate Change

We need to understand that the terrestrial biosphere is a dynamic environment in a dynamic universe.  We need to understand that the terrestrial climate will always change naturally.  We need to understand that human actions will always have an impact on the terrestrial climate.  We need to understand that the idea of a steady state terrestrial climate is pure nonsense.  We need to understand the idea human action that brought about a change in the terrestrial climate has become a political football.  We need to understand that there’s no such thing as a valid excuse.

Thoughts Of The Day

Unfortunately the vile institution of slavery was not destroyed but was instead nationalized. The program of the Democratic Party since the reign of Woodrow Wilson has been to inflict the German form of socialism (begun under Otto Von Bismarck and taken to its ultimate conclusion under Hitler) upon America.  Hitler called his doctrine "Marxism without the Talmudic frills."  What we have under the Democrats is National Socialism without the Aryan frills.

Why don't we stop pretending that the Left represents any kind of legitimate political interest?  The fact of the matter is that the Left as it's presently composed is little more than a band of brigands, parasites, and outright moral nihilists.  Unfortunately, the Country Club Conservatives are too busy jamming their noses into each others terminal orifices to notice this and do something about it. 

Reality is never centrally planned.

Quote

If there's one myth that I'd really like to bury, it's the myth that National Socialism is a right wing ideology.

Quote:

"We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." --Adolf Hitler

(Speech of May 1, 1927. Quoted by Toland, 1976, p. 306)

Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or an ordinary Leftist could repeat the above statement word for word and no one in the usual audience or the Mainstream Media would call them out on it.

 

Noise Complaint

At about 3 PM the tenant in APT 32312 made so much noise that my APT (#2313) was rendered uninhabitable.  A private landlord would have evicted him long ago.  But the MPHA is subject to the Iron Law Of Bureaucracy.

What is the Iron Law Of Bureaucracy?

The Iron Law Of Bureaucracy is that no effort is made than is necessary to collect a paycheck.  I learned about the Iron Law Of Bureaucracy through direct experience.  When I was in the United States Army and stationed in the Harmony Church section of Fort Benning I had a dermoid cyst that had to be removed.  I was notified by receptionist at the troop medical clinic that I'd already missed two appointments to have the cyst removed.  I was never notified that the appointments existed, the receptionist called the company headquarters, twice.  As far as she knew I'd been notified when in fact I hadn't.  Was it necessary for the company clerk to notify me to collect the paycheck?  No.

Results

I have a message for the Democratic Party and their intellectual partisans, you know, the folks who are visibly upset at the fact that we won't blindly submit to their whims.  Get over it.  Sure, you claimed to won the presidential election by a majority of the votes cast.  So what?  An election in a constitutional republic is a process of hiring someone to perform a constitutionally defined task.  It's not a mystical collectivist ritual for the anointment of a stone age god-king.  We don't believe in The Leader Principle. We don't believe that the stone age god-king that you supposedly elected is in any way the embodiment of a collective will.  And we certainly don't believe that we are in any way subject to what are in fact his individual whims.  We aren't and never will be a living prop in your ideological fantasies.  We won't bind ourselves with the chains that you offer us.  And we will never embark on the path that ultimately leads to the anonymous ditch outside of town.  This isn't Russia in 1917.  We know about the ultimate results of your ideological fantasy and won't go down that path without a fight.

Thoughts For The Day

What we have to understand is all members of the NSDAP were told they were victims of the Jews collectively.

I once rented a room in a house on the corner of 24th Street and Humboldt Avenue, west of Hennepin Avenue.  My car was hit by someone speeding South on Lyndale Avenue with such force it was spun around facing opposite direction.  The police report on the crash stated that I lived East of Hennepin Avenue and was driving West.  My next car had a Libertarian Party bumper sticker on it.  I was parked on 24th Street and no one else was towed.  My car was apparently towed by order of a member of the city council (a Democrat, of course).  No one else was towed.  After I moved into the Parker Skyview building (in 2012) I had a noise complaint about my neighbor in apartment #2312.  The Minneapolis Police said they had no resources to answer the complaint.  My neighbor in apartment #2312 was a black man from Chicago.  Answering the noise complaint would have been politically incorrect.  I should be a member of the “Defund the Police” movement but I’m not.  Why?  We must understand that Political Correctness isn’t correct and that Social Justice isn’t just. 

Those politicians who prefer to feel that they're on the side of progress (but who in fact haven't had an original idea since the Stone Age) are invariably envious of the profits made by major corporations.  So much so that at every opportunity these self styled guardians of the common worker will levy a new tax on corporate profits to the thunderous applause of the ignorant masses.  The dirty little secret that the lords of The Left and their sycophants in the Mainstream Media refuse to tell their victims is that each new tax levied on a major corporation has absolutely zero impact on corporate profits.  The fact of the matter is that taxes levied on business are part of the cost of doing business and are passed on to the consumers of goods with the services created by that business.  A tax on corporate profits is in fact a tax on you.

Racial Collectivism isn’t acceptable regardless of who performs it.

Conscience and Liberal are two words that don't go together. 

How many National Socialists have actually read anything written anything written by Hitler?  How many Marxists have actually read anything written anything written by Marx?

Thoughts Of The Day

Joe Biden is a senile old man who should be in a nursing home instead of the White House.  The basic point of the First Amendment was so that the citizens, who're the sovereign authority of our nation, can read the facts in a free press and make correct decisions in the realm of politics.  But our present day Mainstream Media are now deliberately lying and are refusing to publish the facts about the current administration in Washington.  A child can be forgiven for their lack of knowledge but an adult has absolutely no excuse.  A “Peace Activist” has absolutely no excuse for the facilitation of criminal predation within Our Republic and the assistance given to foreign aggressors by the so-called peace movement.  The fact is that those who call themselves pacifists are vilest Enemies of Mankind of all time.  There are some things we need to understand.

One of the problems with seeing one's self as being infallible is that one tends to take a slack attitude towards doing one's own research.  This usually leads to the tendency to commit errors.  The overall effect is that those who believe in their own infallibility are inevitably finding themselves in the failure mode.

When dealing with Scientology one has to use the Saigon Rules.  In the absence of the Rule Of Law, anything goes.  As far Scientologists are concerned the Rule Of Law doesn’t apply to them.  Scientologists use the term “Wog” to refer to non-Scientologists, it’s their equivalent to the N-word. Members of the Sea Org should be treated like members of the SS because they are functionally equivalent to members of the SS.

The disarmament of The People only benefits the criminals.  It benefits those within The State by intent.  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.  Disarming the citizens of the nation is clearly an act of treason. 

On Questioning Authority

"For the concept of questioning authority to work it has to applied universally.  Absolutely without any exception.  Otherwise what is the point?"

When one questions the authority of L. Ron Hubbard one thing becomes very readily apparent.

L. Ron Hubbard has no authority.

His claims of being a hero in the Second World War are complete nonsense and completely false.  On the occasion Hubbard was mistakenly placed in command of a small warship he showed himself to be completely incompetent.  L. Ron Hubbard showed himself to be an incompetent naval officer.

As a writer L. Ron Hubbard was incompetent too.

When L. Ron Hubbard was receiving a penny a word writing for the pulps Ayn Rand was a world class author who had her work published in hardcover and adapted for motion pictures.  All of Ayn Rand's work is still in print by the New American Library.  Some of L. Ron Hubbard's later literary work is printed by Bridge Publications.  Who owns the New American Library?  The stockholders.  Who owns Bridge Publications?  Bridge Publications is a department of Scientology.

On Elections

The Federal Government and several state governments have gone into the failure mode.  We have elections in the United States so we don’t have civil wars or military coups as a result.  The “election” of Joe Biden* is so false that only a literally blind person couldn’t see the evidence.**  We tried to overthrow The Washington Establishment by vote, now we'll have to do it by force.  

*Who isn’t my president.
**What this says about the supporters of Joe Biden would require the use of obscene language.

Anniversary

On this day in 1854 the Republican Party was founded.  Unfortunately, the Republican Party no longer represents the common people of our country.

On Collectivism

What is Collectivism?

Collectivism is a body of doctrines adversarial to a free society.  Collectivism is an essentially Leftist body of doctrines.  Mussolini was a Leftist intellectual (I know I’m using a contradiction in terms) who received fan mail from Lenin.

Collectivism is a body of doctrines that comes in two basic flavors.  Class Collectivism and Racial Collectivism.  Both Class Collectivism and Racial Collectivism came to blows on the Ostfront in the Second World War.  I once described this event as a “drive by shooting on an industrial scale.”  Class Collectivists and Racial Collectivists can cooperate when circumstances suit them.  We saw this when the National Socialists cooperated with the Soviets before Operation Barbarossa.  We’re seeing this again with Anti-Fa and Black Lives Matter.
 

A Classic Cartoon

The Twin Cities in Minnesota existed because the natural upper limit of navigation on the Mississippi River was near downtown Saint Paul.  With the main source of water power, the Saint Anthony Falls, near to downtown Minneapolis.

Thoughts For The Day

Knowledge is knowledge.  Some of the things one learns are nasty, live with it.

Battlefield Earth is so bad I can’t even watch a review of it. 

Even though I judge everyone by the same moral standard regardless of their ethnic background I'll be denounced as a racist.

Peace Activists are essentially part of the problem of aggression.

Authority: Someone who knows what they're talking about and what they're doing.  It's not a word that can be reasonably used to describe the present occupants of the executive and legislative branches of the Federal Government.

On Climate Change

The fact of the matter is that we live in a dynamic universe.  Variations in the average planetary temperature occur as part of a natural cycle.  We must further recognize the fact that those who deny the Human Right of Life are nothing less than Enemies of Mankind.  Unfortunately, the Human effect on the Terrestrial climate has become a political football.

Aniversary

On this day in 709 ab urbe condita the original perpetual dictator was disposed of.  A well known Roman politician had a run in with some pissed off members of the Senate.  Tyrannicide sucks, doesn't it JC?  What some people don't understand is that the State Caesar overthrew was actually worse.

Why don't we assassinate Joe Biden and/or Kamala Harris?  Because their assassinations won't solve the problem.  The actual problem is a culture that holds the rights of individuals in contempt.  The assassination of Biden and/or Harris won't solve that problem.

Thoughts For The Day

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.) 

One of the things we have to remember is that decent people (in the Gun Control and AGW debates) are used by monsters.

I was going east on Washington Avenue through the U of M campus and a male idiot decides to ride his bicycle in the middle of a snow shower on the wrong side of the street between the two lanes of eastbound traffic.  I shouldn't have been surprised by this.  Why do I somehow feel that getting a college education these days must in some way involve being lobotomized? 

There's no shortage of hardcore Leftists who're willing to follow orders.  The pacifism of the Left is, after all, just a pose.

"Progressive" is newspeak for someone who believes in the neolithic ideal of beating up and killing people and taking their stuff.  Remember: A day without Socialism is like a day without slavery and murder.  The more I look at the ongoing disaster in Washington the more I want someone in our armed forces to step up and overthrow the morons who call themselves an administration.  Authority is based on understanding and compliance to the truth.  Those who lie have no authority over anyone.  The Left abhors the thought of being judged by their character because they have none.   What's present is the black hole of their lust for power.  A desire for control over every aspect of our lives that distorts or destroys everything that comes within their influence.  The positive side is that if we don't drop below their moral event horizon we can escape from their influence.  But we'll be damaged as a result. 

For the concept of questioning authority to work it has to applied universally.  Absolutely without any exception.  Otherwise what is the point?

On Peace Activism

Because an individual, or a group, can choose to obtain their survival and well being through the use of force against the productive persons or groups it's necessary for the potential victims of such violence to be armed and mentally prepared to to respond with force.  Peace is simply the absence of enemies.  It's the state of being where one is not subject to the will of a hostile power, be it an individual, a group, or a nation.  In practice, peace can only be obtained through the forcible suppression or outright destruction of the aggressors.  To obtain peace an individual or a nation must have superior firepower and the will to use it.  In order to avoid being subject to the will of aggressors those persons or nations which disarm themselves must enter into a dependent relationship with those are remain armed.  Disarmament is therefore not an act resulting from a good intention.  At best a pacifist is a parasite.  In present practice most pacifists morally condemn the act of self-defense and therefore become accessories to acts of violence carried out by aggressive individuals, groups, or nations.  In effect, they've become part of the problem.  And as a rule I favor including pacifists in the solution to the problem of aggressive violence. 

Date Of Birth

Evil entered the world.  

L. Ron Hubbard was born on this day in 1911.  L. Ron Hubbard actually conned a rocket scientist.  L. Ron Hubbard helped the Soviets during the Cold War.  L. Ron Hubbard will eventually be remembered as the vile man he actually was.  I'm on public record as calling L. Ron Hubbard a completely useless waste of mass and energy.  When L. Ron Hubbard was receiving a penny a word writing for the pulps Ayn Rand was a world class author who had her work published in hardcover and adapted for motion pictures.  All of Ayn Rand's work is still in print by the New American Library.  Some of L. Ron Hubbard's later literary work is printed by Bridge Publications.  Who owns the New American Library?  The stockholders.  Who owns Bridge Publications?  Bridge Publications is a department of Scientology.

In Objectivism an axiom is a statement that defines the base of knowledge and is a self evident truth. The three axioms of Objectivism are that Existence Exists, that Existence is Identity, and that Consciousness is Identification.  The axioms of Objectivism flatly contradict Scientology in holding that the Universe existed prior to the evolution of consciousness.  That things are what they are regardless of what one chooses to believe.  And that to be conscious is to see things are they truly are without regard to the claims by an self-proclaimed authority figure.   An Objectivist would clearly see that L. Ron Hubbard was putting out complete nonsense and therefore would be classed as a Suppressive Person in the doctrine of Scientology.  Because it's a deliberate body of falsehoods created by a con artist Scientology must hold that the act of identification, which is to see things as they truly are as something that must be forbidden and punished.  And in a world ruled by Scientologists the truly conscious must be be put down with lethal effect. 

We must understand that Scientology isn't a religion.  We must understand that Scientology is a con game invented by L. Ron Hubbard.  We must understand that outside of the Collectivist movement L. Ron Hubbard was one of most vile men who ever lived.  Bad people often believe they're good people.  We saw this with the harassment of Paulette Cooper.  If the United States had a real government Scientology would be treated as the criminal organization it actually is. 

Scientology will eventually become extinct.  L. Ron Hubbard didn't design Scientology to outlast him.  L. Ron Hubbard was wrong about a lot of things.  My first paying job in the private sector was a part time gig at two candy shops in downtown Minneapolis.  Both candy shops had picture windows, Hubbard's method of cleaning windows was NEVER used.

The false prophet L. Ron Hubbard was a piece of excrement (yes, I know I'm insulting excrement) that took advantage of the First Amendment of our Constitution.

I made a proposal on this blog to amend The Constitution:

All religions which deny the validity of the Constitution shall not claim protection under it.  The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

The obvious question that's been raised in the past is why I don't call for a ban on Scientology by name?  A name is only a mental label for the concept.  Even though it appears to be internally forbidden to change the doctrines of Scientology, the doctrines also commands the believer to deceive the victims where necessary.   Thus deception, such as a name change, by a Scientologist will occur.  It's by identifying a specific toxic attribute of Scientology that we can properly exclude it from protection under the First Amendment.  A fundamental attribute of the doctrine of Scientology is the denial of real laws.  The real acts of legislation by real governments that protect the real rights of the people.  In declaring actual laws to be invalid Hubbard opened the door to the commission of a multitude of crimes that would be carried out by Hubbard and other Scientologists for their own personal benefit.  This action's absolutely intolerable in a civil society, in reality the people are the sovereign authority and the sole source of legislation.  In reality Scientology has to go.  In order for us to live a properly Human life we must allow our government to take a proactive role in defending our rights.

Although Scientology is a vexatious litigant and won many civil suits.  Scientology will eventually lose in the court of public opinion. 

Anniversary

On March 10, 1982 I enlisted in the United States Army.  The recruiting station was a former service station on the corner of 20th St. and Central Ave.  It was snowing that day.  When anyone at Fort Benning inquired where I was from my usual answer was, "the Soviet Socialist Republic of Minnesota."  The Cold War was on at the time.

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.  You couldn't be selfish if you can't live with yourself.  Rational Selfishness as defined and advocated by Ayn Rand was limited to acts which benefited one's self but caused no harm or inflicted a cost on another person.  The narcissist, 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, as far as the narcissist is concerned that's better.  In order for me to say, "I, Leslie Bates, do solemnly swear to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America..." I have to say "I". That was my ego speaking when I took the oath of enlistment.

As a combat riflemen (MOS 11 B) I opposed conscription.  I did so in 1982 and I'm doing so now.  Some people have a problem with persons acting on their conscience.  I don't.  When I was enlisted in the United States Army the Army was going though several transitions.  The Army was transitioning from the M1 steel pot to the first generation of the K-pot helmet.  The Army was transitioning from the M60A3 tank to the first generation of the M1 Abrams tank with the 105mm rifled gun.  The Army was transitioning from the M113 APC to the first generation of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle.  The Army was transitioning from the Huey helicopter to the first generation of the Blackhawk helicopter.

Thoughts Of The Day

I have an adversarial (to put it politely) attitude when posting on this blog, live with it.

Just because someone else is holding the gun doesn't change the fact that someone is engaged in the act of robbery.

Congress (the opposite of progress) member Sheila Jackson Lee (How does she get reelected?) has proposed another “Gun Control” bill.  Gosh, what a surprise.  We have remember that the actual purpose of “Gun Control” is to control the productive population for the benefit of the self proclaimed masters.

The self styled Progressives deny us the right to peacefully gather to work out rational solutions to political issues.  They demand that we surrender ourselves and our children to them to be used as livestock in their slave labor regime.   They commit acts of violence against those who refuse to submit to their depraved will.  They're enemies of Humanity and vermin fit solely for extermination.

Antisemitism in politics is the practical equivalent of a dead canary in a coal mine, I can't say this often enough.  Antisemitism is a subset of Racial Collectivism.  We (Humanity) have to condemn all forms of Racial Collectivism.  We have to identify Black Lives Matter as the Racial Collectivist group that it actually is.  We have to see that Antisemitism is a symptom of a deeper philosophical problem.  So when someone attacks Jews they're attacking all of us.  Rejection of Racial Collectivism shouldn't be a radical idea.

“No legislative act contrary to the Constitution can be valid.  To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy (agent) is greater than his principal; that the servant is above the master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people; that men, acting by virtue of powers may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid.  It is not to be supposed that the Constitution could intend to enable the representatives of the people to substitute their will to that of their constituents.  A Constitution is, in fact, and must be regarded by judges as fundamental law.  If there should happen to be a irreconcilable variance between the two, the Constitution is to be preferred to the statute.”

— Alexander Hamilton, Federalist #78

Thoughts Of The Day

Are you in control of your life?

What we do see in "Liberalism" are excuses for seizing control of your life.  Let's take a look at the concept of Global Warming.  The Terrestrial biosphere is a dynamic environment in a dynamic Universe.  Terrestrial climate change has naturally happened will always naturally happen.  Human action should have an effect on the Terrestrial climate.  But the Human action has become a political football, thus an excuse for seizing control of your life.  But as many people on the Right side of the political isle believe an excuse is NEVER valid.

Some people call themselves "Progressives" when in fact they're reactionaries.  Some people call themselves "Liberals" when in fact they're enemies of Liberty.  These are are instances of Newspeak in action.

Realizations

We need to realize that Woke Culture isn't awake.  We need to realize that Political Correctness isn't correct.  We need to realize that Social Justice isn't just.  And we need to  realize that Reality isn't subject to a personal whim or a majority vote.

Explanation

There's a question we're constantly asking.

Why did The Holocaust happen?

There's an answer, but you may not like it.

The perpetrators of The Holocaust actually believed they were good people and doing good things.  The perpetrators of The Holocaust actually believed their victims and opponents were evil people.  The same is true for the perpetrators of every horror that ever occurred.  

Update 0730 CST:

Even Leftists are infighting.  Leftist Bill Maher is calling out “woke” Leftist Kathleen Kennedy on the firing of Gina Carano.  Something people on the left side of the political isle have to learn that because someone has a disagreement with you that doesn’t automatically make them an enemy.

Thoughts For The Day

When I was enlisted in the United States Army the Army was going though several transitions.  The Army was transitioning from the M1 steel pot to the first generation of the K-pot helmet.  The Army was transitioning from the M60A3 tank to the first generation of the M1 Abrams tank with the 105mm rifled gun.  The Army was transitioning from the M113 APC to the first generation of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle.  The Army was transitioning from the Huey helicopter to the first generation of the Blackhawk helicopter.

I'm sometimes compelled to explain why I don't believe in the concept of God.

Let's start with the age of the universe.

According to the current idea (we call concepts a theory because someone may come up with a better idea) the universe is 13.5 billion years old.  The galactic core is 30,000 light years away. It takes 30,000 years for light from the galactic core to reach Earth.  That's five times the age of the universe according to the Book of Genesis.

I once chewed out SFC Steve Barry, one of the founders of the Special Forces Underground.

Steve,

What the Hell is your major cognitive malfunction?

You know damned well what Objectivism is. You created The Resister as an essentially Objectivist publication. If you had not done so, I would never had taken the trouble to post the text on the internet or to contribute to it.

And if you bothered to remember correctly you would know that every Objectivist, from Ayn Rand on down to the newest reader, ABSOLUTELY LOATHED COMMUNISTS. Collaborating with that species of vermin is never an option.

And killing Mussolini was not an act of murder. Killing Mussolini was an act of tyrannicide. And tyrannicide is nothing more than hunting down and killing a predatory animal.

If you are going to get this disconnected from reality then you may as well go all the way and convert to Islam.

A statement of fact isn't a expression of hate.  Disagreement isn't hatred, some people don't understand this.  The idea that Black men should be exempt from the laws that protect the life and property of all people regardless of their race is clearly wrong.  As far as a properly functioning government is concerned there is only one race: The Human Race.  Physical force, like fire, can be useful, but the use of physical force, like fire, must be limited.  Libertarians, and some Republicans, understand this fact.  The people running the Democratic Party, and their servants in Anti-fa and BLM, refuse to understand this fact.  The facts are facts and aren't subject to a popular vote.  Those who have an instrument of coercion will use it to obtain what they need or believe they need.  Mussolini was explicitly clear on this point.  As far as a self-styled "progressive" is concerned, if a person can't be used they're garbage to be disposed of.  They could be elderly people or little girls confined to wheelchairs and they'll feel good about it.  The so-called "progressive" politicians and their willing servants want to disarm us, the decent and productive people, so we can be used.  They have a need for us but we have no use for them.  We, the decent and productive people, must identify and treat the so-called "progressive" politicians and their willing servants as mortal enemies.
 

 

On Political Authority

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 any 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've 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 won't be mandatory, completion and a passing grade will be required to exercise the authority to vote.


 

It's Happening Again

Why did The Holocaust happen?  

The actual author of the Book of Genesis actually had a point: Evil often presents itself as Good.

The Holocaust wasn't a unique event.  The Holocaust (and other horrors) were the result of normal people acting normally.  Why did a particular horror happen?  There's an answer but you may not like it.  A horror happened because the perpetrators believed they were good people with their victims and opponents being evil.  We've seen this before with numerous horrors and it will happen again.  What we're dealing with are people who believe they're good people.  We have to deal with them as such no matter how horrible the things they actually do.  Many of the people who’re loudly proclaiming “never again” are going to do it again.  The National Socialists and Soviets believed themselves to be good people, we're seeing the same phenomena with Anti-Fa.  Anti-Fa claims to be opposed to Fascism no matter what they actually do.  Members of Anti-Fa will believe the lies they're told regardless of the consequences.  Members of Anti-Fa claim to oppose Fascism, in fact they're what Fascists are.  Most members of Anti-Fa don't know that they're following the dictators handbook.  Most proponents of tyranny, such as members of Anti-Fa (National Socialists, Soviet Communists, etc.) believe they're good people and that their opponents are evil.  It's very easy to predict what a self appointed opponent of Fascism will say.  Just take a mouth dropping of a National Socialist and replace the word Jew with the word Fascist.

Those who don't remember history are a highly sought after group of followers.  We identify The Holocaust as the horrible act it actually was.  And we should be horrified.  But we're seeing The Holocaust from an objective perspective.  From the subjective perspective the perpetrators of The Holocaust saw themselves (apart from some psychopaths) as being good people doing good things with their victims and opponents as being evil.  We're seeing this again with the Marxists who make up the membership of Anti-fa.  They see themselves as being good and their victims as being evil.  I've said this before: Killing a Marxist isn't an act of murder, it's an act of self defense.  I have a warning for members of Anti-fa, when you Brownshirt someone, don't be surprised that you're treated as a Brownshirt.  I've found through direct experience that the opposition really believe they're the good guys.  If a member of Anti-fa wants to see a Totalitarian, all they have to do is look in a mirror.  Totalitarians are never hiding under the bed, they're in plain view.  For those who value power no act is too vile.  Killing a member of Anti-Fa isn't an act of murder, it's an act of self defense.  Members of Anti-fa should be engaged with aircraft like the AC-130 and A-10.  A Fascist isn't who the self styled opponents of the doctrine believe they are.  WE HAVE THE DUTY to see the self described antifascist as they truly are a National Socialist piece of shit who should be hanged from the neck until dead.  And WE HAVE THE DUTY to identify the Mainstream Media are a bunch of liars.

Voltaire said it: Those who believe absurdities will commit atrocities.

I have a question for members of Anti-Fa and BLM: what part of "Never Again" didn't you understand?

Why don't we assassinate Joe Biden and/or Kamala Harris?  Because their assassinations won't solve the problem.  The actual problem is a culture that holds the rights of individuals in contempt.  The assassination of Biden and/or Harris won't solve that problem.
