Thoughts For The Day

Politicians should come with warnings. 

What we have in the White House is the most ignorant and incompetent individual to have ever held the office of President.  He doesn't understand that reality is real.  He doesn't understand the nature of human life and human society.  And most importantly he doesn't understand the nature and purpose of government.  And with the apparent belief in his own infallibility he is clearly in the failure mode.  It's not at all surprising that the United States Government is in the failure mode.  

Should that totalitarian piece of filth Joe Biden attempt to violate the Constitution through the censorship of criticism of his regime then the members of the the Armed Forces must keep the promise they made to the nation and overthrow him by a military coup and put him to death.

A criminal act in a rationally governed society is a violation of an individual’s rights.  In a rational society it's also understood that because human beings aren't omniscient or always honest, it's therefore possible that an innocent person may be prosecuted for a crime by mistake or as a result of an act of malice.  It's this fact that leads to the creation of the Due Process of Law that is practiced by a rational government. (And which is all too often twisted around by criminals and their legal supporters to their advantage.)  But a parasite is dependent on the violation of individual rights for his sustenance.  Thus the parasite’s conception of crime and justice must be opposed to that of a rational society.  Justice to a parasite is simply getting away with the parasitic mode of existence.  Crime is simply any resistance, regardless of intent or degree, to the actions of the parasite.

Racial characteristics aren't chosen and therefore irrelevant to human actions.  What's subject to choice is a person’s beliefs and the actions derived from those beliefs.  For the record McVeigh himself was a racial collectivist who rejected human rights and human reason.   As a result he rejected human reality.  The actual Patriot Movement at that time fully rejected McVeigh, his beliefs, and his actions.  This rejection was based on the actual moral values that were actually chosen. 

A problem with The Anointed is that they are the last to suffer the negative consequences of their own insanity.

Thoughts Of The Day

When I was a lad before entering high school I read Heinlein’s Starship Troopers a decade before reading Rand's Atlas Shrugged.  I read the novel for the ideas, one of the ideas I formed at the time was that the personal weapon was both the instrument and the symbol of political authority.  As the sword denoted the authority of the monarch the rifle denoted the authority of the citizen.  The disarmament of the citizen would effectively strip him of political authority.  Thus the attempt to disarm the citizens was effectively a tripwire to warn us of the attempt to establish a tyranny.  Of course the citizen must understand and accept his political responsibilities.  The instrument is useless without the idea to guide it.  

The basic problem with the "know it all" mentality is the belief that they really do know everything. Thus any new information that contradicts their existing belief structure is often dismissed as being false.  The real results in the real world are a series of disasters that are too numerous to list.  To those value power above all no act in the pursuit of power is too depraved.

Censorship is the process of restricting information and thus the restriction of rational thought.  Because rational thought is necessary for human life the restriction of information has a toxic effect on a person.  The toxic effect could even be lethal.  The act of censorship reduces a person to the status of a mere animal.  Something to controlled, used, abused, and ultimately to be killed.  The act of censorship is beyond moral toleration.  It's time to censor the censors. 

It's not the petty looters that I'm worried about.  The fundamental value of the other side is power.  Without it they’re effectively dead.  Without it their purpose in life is effectively removed. Without power they’re nothing.  The other side has shown their absolute contempt for our Constitution and the rule of law.  It appears that they’ll stop at nothing to obtain and retain power.  What I'm afraid of is that a Democrat will simply refuse to step down when they lose a election.  And that they’ll order the arrest and even the murder of those who oppose them.  It’ll be the American Night Of The Long Knives.  While part of the armed forces may follow their oath to defend the constitution, I would fully expect the local branches of their mafia (Democratic Party) and their enforcers (Cops) to follow orders to the letter.  This is going to be a bloody mess, and it will end with one side or the other as filling for a mass grave.

If you want to predict what will be said by the Democratic Party and their media prostitutes, all you have to do is take any statement by an old school Nation Socialist, cross out the word "Jew" and write in the words "Gun Owner."  That's how depraved and predictable they've become.

If you hear voices in your head, ignore them.  Life is a learning experience. 

 

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 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.


 

Proposal

We in the United States are stuck with two political parties.  The leadership of one party is insane and the leadership of the other party simply doesn't care.  Rank and file members now call establishment members a bunch of Vichy Republicans.

Perhaps its time to start a new political party.  Is a new political party possible?

The answer is, I don’t know.  The opponents of chattel slavery proceeded, even with public opposition.  We, as opponents of political power, have to.  We need to treat exercises of political power, such as censorship, as crimes against Humanity.  We need to treat bans on firearms and free speech as the anti-Human acts that they actually are.  Our political elites have apparently forgotten the lesson taught by our original civil war, that banning freedom doesn’t work.  Our political elites tried to ban the voluntary consumption of alcohol, it didn’t work.  Our political elites tried to ban the voluntary consumption of hard drugs, it doesn’t work.  Our political elites will try to ban the voluntary ownership of firearms and freedom of speech, it will never work.  Our politicians are supposed to do a specific job and they aren't doing it.  We have to start a new political party to go around them.  We don't have a choice.

Let's call our new party the Freedom Party.

Will the Freedom Party replace the Democratic Party?

I don't think so.  What's more likely is that the Freedom Party will replace the Republican Party just like the Republicans replaced the Whigs.

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.

On Political Authority

On Saturday I posted a rant on the subject of political authority. Here's the basic version without the complaint about rust:

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.

As a result some warm bodies have traded their votes for a material object such as an IPad or a wad of cash. Or worse they have traded their votes for the warm and fuzzy feeling of having been compassionate.

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

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

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

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

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

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

What are your questions on this block of instruction?
