Quisling's Grandchildren (Redux)
I just posted this on an Objectivist site:
Fourteen years ago an Objectivist working in the Security Department of Healtheast in Saint Paul, Minnesota had a dispute with the site supervisor. He wrote out a formal complaint and personally delivered it to the head of the department. On April 8th he met with an apparatchik of the Human Services Department who told him:
On February 1st the Minneapolis StarTribune, the socialist rag of the Twin Cities, published the following full page ad:
The obvious question is how can someone be tricked into betraying any moral value when they absolutely lack one?
The false prophet Mohammed commanded his followers to conquer along with the commission of the acts of rape, robbery, and murder. The doctrine of Islam commands enslavement and the systematic violation of the rights of man and for the believers to act as predatory animals. Without question the doctrine and practice of Islam is absolutely depraved.
Given that Human Life is the foundation of all valid moral values then Islam must be absolutely condemned. But the signatories of this document refuse to understand these facts of reality and condemn as immoral those who hold an actual moral standard.
I am hard pressed to respond to this utterly depraved document without the use of barracks language.

Trying to be right is unhealthy.This was simply insane. Healtheast was a chain of hospitals and an error in the heath care process would lead to prolonged suffering or death. Upon reflection the Objectivist had concluded that the apparatchik, and thus the management, were pragmatists who didn’t see reality as being inherently real and only saw differences in opinion instead. The Objectivist decided at that point to bail out from Healtheast, which in turn would be sued for a wrongful termination caused by the same site supervisor.

Two Items From Today
From Mark Urbin's Tumbr site:
Because each of us perceives reality as individuals it is necessary for us to freely communicate in order to obtain a full and clear perspective of it. Freedom of speech is a moral necessity. Censorship, either official or unofficial as attempted by the Jihadists reduces humans to the effective level of animals and thus should be treated as not less than a capital crime.
In short the Jihadists were asking for it.
And:
Well Gay Pride is now part of American Civilization so the Mainstream Media would have to take the side of the Jihadist Murderers.
Gosh, what a surprise...

A Problem
From Article I, Section 9 of the United States Constitution:
No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.
Although no formal title of nobility has been formally granted to Homosexuals by the Federal Government, an effect of noble status now empowers members of that class. That of having a privilege that overrides the Constitutionally guaranteed Freedoms of Association and Religion.
The so-called Gay Rights, which are in fact a body of privileges, elevate Homosexuals to a superior legal status over non-Homosexuals and negate their rights. The superior legal status of Homosexuals allows them to override the rational judgement and conscience of the Citizens and Legal Residents of the United States.
The Homosexual Privilege also places the class in an adversarial position with respect to the Nation as a whole and in danger of retribution should our present crisis with respect to the current occupant of the White House turns into a civil war.
What are your questions on this block of instruction?

Herrenvolk In Aktion
According to the Daily Mail on the last Monday a passenger was assaulted on a light-rail commuter train.
The assailant, who was Black, carried out the assault when the victim refused to give his opinion on the police shooting of Michael Brown.
This assault was Brownshirt behavior straight from National Socialist Germany.
This fact is the Michael Brown was not the innocent lad who gunned gun by evil white cops of Liberal belief but a full blown violent thug. The police officer who performed the deadly force action was properly doing his duty.
So what was Michael Brown really like?
Far from the innocent child depicted in Mainstream Media Michael Brown was a 6' 4" (200 cm) and 295 pound (134 Kg) thug who used his physical mass to intimidate his victims. There is a security camera video of Brown performing a strong arm robbery.
And while finding a proper record online has been difficult I did find this:
Michael Brown behaved as a predatory animal and was identified and dealt with as such. There is no question that he asked for it.
So why the fuss?
Our self-styled Progressive media and ruling class hate actual human life and leaped on this opportunity to attack the men who put their lives on the line every day to defend it. They also exploit the Black population to obtain and maintain political power. In order to do so they have encouraged Blacks in the United States to see themselves as a separate and wrongfully oppressed racial group.
But this was not a unique event. The National Socialists in Germany put forth the notion of a separate and superior racial identity for Germans. And with the separate racial identity came the notion that the rules for living with others did not apply to them.
Here in the United States we are witnessing the racial separation of the Black population and with it the ethical separation as well. That many Blacks are now behaving as Brownshirts with the support of the ruling class is not a surprise as they have adopted the racial doctrine of the National Socialists as their own.

Moron Of The Day
"If I can accept that the Paris murderers aren’t real Muslims why won’t the Muslim world say so too?"
-- Piers Morgan of the Daily Mail Online
Because the fact is that the murderers in Paris were acting in to accordance to the actual doctrine of Islam.
In reality Islam was created by a depraved individual as a body of excuses for predatory actions. The doctrine of Islam denies all of the rights of Man. including Life, Liberty, and Property. And of course the freedoms of Speech and Self Defense are absolutely right out. Those who actually stand up for Human Life such as the "Muslim" police officer who died while resisting the murderers are not proper Muslims. Islam and those who actually practice it have no place in human society.
UPDATE 1300 Hrs CST:
Lt. Col. Ralph Peters gets it..
He is the opposite of a moron.

I just viewed a local film society showing of The Interview. I spent most the show moaning about how stupid the Dave Skylark character was. I don't know what else to say.

Step Back - Part 28
October 12, 1969 8 PM Eastern Time
Dan Rather sat back in his New York City residence. He was still quietly fuming. When the proposal was made to send Mike Wallace up to the starship Eagle he objected on the grounds that he was younger and healthier and therefore he should go up.
“No Dan,” said Wallace, “apparently your counterpart on the original timeline had committed a serious breach of ethics and as a result the Uptimers want nothing to do with you here and now.”
From Rather’s perspective Wallace had pitched several softballs to the Uptimers. They were clearly enemies of Progress and fully deserved to have been ripped a new one on the air.
The thought that Rather would have been sent out an airlock did not occur to him.
In Huntsville Werner Von Braun and several members of his NASA team had also watched the broadcast.
He spoke up.
“Boatman never mentioned the fact that the design for the Integral was based on his own Master’s thesis at Cal Tech.”
“Why should he?” Said John Linden. “He actually designed and built all of the other starships. And let’s face it, he was virtually standing on some tall shoulders while doing so.”
“John,” Werner replied, “we’re not in the Reich anymore, there’s no need to kiss anyone’s ass here.”
“But the truth is the truth.” Linden replied.
“Yes, it is.”
Werner Von Braun quietly wondered when his friend Evelyn Boatman would ever get around to writing a doctoral thesis on starship design. He seriously wanted to read it.
In the White House President Nixon had also watched the broadcast with his family.
In his opinion Boatman was clearly a master of political spin. At no point were the natives of Eden mentioned or any word of their fate. And the story of Alice Boatman’s existence aboard the Integral would silence all but the most insane critics of her actions in Dallas. There was no question that the Reverend Grant had asked for it. But sometimes a nose has to be rubbed into a pile of excrement before someone got the point.
The rest of the First Family simply sat back in silence.
Across the nation’s capital Senator Edward Kennedy sat back on the sofa alone with a shot glass and an open bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey.
He was fully appalled at the news of a future where people acted without any guidance from their betters, or to act without any other social restraint.
He thought, and then he took another slug from the shot glass.
Something absolutely must be done to stop these monsters.
In the city of Minneapolis former Vice President Humphrey had also watched the broadcast.
How can they live with themselves? He thought. How could they act on their own and abandon the Human Race? How could they show absolutely no remorse for their actions? How could they be so selfish?
In his Minneapolis apartment Thomas Archer, professor of English Literature at the University of Minnesota, switched off his television set.
Those liars! He thought. Those absolute fucking liars!
How can I promote Peace and Social Justice when it was possible to freely contradict me? And how dare that lying fascist bitch say that she was raped as a little girl by a Progressive leader?
It was now clear to him.
The so-called freedom of speech is in fact the freedom to lie, and it has to be stopped once and for all!
In campus dormitories across the nation the empty spaces between the ears of the drones of the student collective were filled with the same set of notions.
Everything about them is wrong! They have technology without restraint. They have power without restraint! They can do anything to anyone they want! They are the enemies of Peace and Progress! They must be stopped! They must be stopped by any means possible! They must be stopped!
Doctor Mark Goldman was doing rounds on his shift in the Emergency Room of Parkland Hospital. A nurse suddenly walked up and spoke to him.
“Doctor, have you seen tonight’s 60 Minutes broadcast?”
“No--why”
“They interviewed Doctor Boatman aboard the Eagle. I understand her now, I understand why she shot Reverend Grant.”
Doctor Goldman nodded.
Katherine Grant had watched the broadcast with several senior staff members of her late husband’s ministry.
She had reached a point of absolute anger beyond anything she had ever experienced. A black rage had taken over her consciousness and it left her fully blocked from any light of truth.
As far as Katherine was concerned there was absolutely no question that the Boatman family and their crew were the creations and the servants of Satan. And there was no absolutely question that they had pulled her daughter into their web of lies and condemned her to eternal damnation.
Judith was gone.
It was not the fact that she was aboard the starship whose reality she fully denied. It was the fact that she had fully renounced faith in God and path of eternal salvation. Judith had fully renounced the Lord Jesus Christ.
And there was no going back.
And it all began with Ayn Rand.
That godless Russian Jewish whore Ayn Rand!
Something had to be done. Something had to be done before more helpless souls would be lost to that whore and her lies.
With that thought her ministry formally began.
In their own home in California Robert and Virginia Heinlein had also watched the broadcast.
What could be said about what he saw tonight?
“Well done, Son.”

Step Back, Part 10
On early Wednesday morning in Moscow a teletype machine sprang to life. The communications watch officer at the Lubyanka tore off the message and read it. The emergency message was from the KGB station chief in Hanoi and was written in the clear. He personally hand carried the message to the senior watch officer that was on duty.
The senior watch officer read the message and then made a decision. He looked up a telephone number from the list at hand and dialed it.
When a very grumpy old man answered the phone the senior watch officer spoke.
“Comrade Chairman, our Hanoi Station reports that the city is under attack.”
Yuri Andropov was clearly annoyed at being awakened in the early morning.
“The Americans are bombing again? You called me at this time in the morning to report that?”
“No, Comrade Chairman, it’s not the Americans. The station chief reports that the city is being hit with light beams fitting the description of those used on Nigeria.”
Fuck your mother, thought Andropov. The sun had not risen yet over Moscow and this was clearly going to be a very long day.
On the ground Major Benson and his group of Ranger had surrounded one of the objectives, known in history as the Hanoi Hilton. He then spoke to the fire support officer on the Eagle.
“Eagle, this is Ranger Six, commence fire mission.”
“Aye-aye, sir.”
In sudden flashes of light the guard towers were vaporized.
Major Benson now gave the order.
“Forward!”
In accordance to the plan the Rangers jumped over the fence surrounding the camp and began the process of systematically exterminating the guards and other state personnel present. There were to be no survivors.
When the Rangers were finished with the grim task the prisoners were released from their cages and led to the center on the compound.
Major Benson was supervising this part of the operation from the center of the camp when a ghost of a very badly beaten man stumbled up to him and spoke.
“Who are who?”
Benson recognized the man immediately. He flipped open the visor on his helmet, and responded.
“Major Nathan Benson of the Ranger Company aboard starship Eagle, we’re from Alpha Centauri, sir.”
The man responded.
“Lieutenant Commander John S. McCain, Junior, United States Navy.”
Major Benson saluted Commander McCain and replied.
“Commander McCain, it is an honor to meet you , sir!”
The second squad cleared a landing zone outside the gate of the camp. Here another lander with medical personnel aboard landed to take on the rescued prisoners. From here they would be flown to Ton Son Nhat airport outside of Saigon. Here, another officer from the Eagle was waiting for the rescue landers with some buses and every American military ambulance that was available.
Aboard the Eagle with the mission on the ground completed Mission Commander Boatman gave the order to return the ship to the watch position over the United States.
As the Sun rose over Moscow the Soviet Politburo opened a very early meeting.
General Secretary Brezhnev asked the first question of KGB Chairman Andropov.
“Comrade Chairman, what is the status of Hanoi?”
Andropov looked at his notes and replied.
“Our men on the ground in Hanoi have not been able to go beyond the city limits, but as far as they could see the state apparatus in Vietnam has been effectively destroyed.”
“There’s no Communist State in Vietnam?”
“Correct, as far as they can see, Comrade Secretary.”
Brezhnev then turned to the Defense Minister and asked a question.
“Marshal Grechko, what is the status of our weapon to be used against the Star People?”
“Comrade Secretary, although the weapon is still in the design stage but the components we expect to use are being brought to the Baikonur Cosmodrome for assembly. The current plan is to use the service module of a Soyuz spacecraft to carry the thermonuclear device to the target by remote control. All work on the device is proceeding as quickly as possible.”
“Very good,” said Brezhnev, “but we need to do this quickly.”
Brezhnev then turned to the Foreign Minister, Andrei Gromeko.
“Comrade Minister, we need to speak forcefully in condemnation of the actions of the Star People. We should also put forth a resolution in the U.N. General Assembly that the Star People and their ship be brought under U.N. control.”
“Yes, Comrade Secretary.” Gromeko replied.
The Agriculture Minister spoke up.
“What good will that do, Comrade Secretary?”
Gromeko answered the question.
“As with all resolutions in that body it establishes a psychological position that we can exploit later on.”
The Agriculture Minister could only nod in agreement.
As the line of sunrise continued westwards across the planet newspaper editorial writers virtually leaped into action. Most of them in line with ideological biases wrote to condemn the actions of the Uptimers in Vietnam. This included the editors of the New York Times.
As the writers and editors were working at full speed to ready the later editions of the paper for publication a book reviewer spoke to his editor.
“How can real progress be made when those who do it are murdered from orbit with impunity?”
“I have no idea, Fred.” The Junior Editor replied. “Did you finish your assignment?”
“Yes,” said Fred, “I really wish you hadn’t given it to me to review.”
Fred dropped the review copy of The Concept of Government on the desk.
“Why?”
Fred replied.
“It’s total Fascist trash, and it’s murder pornography as well!”
“Murder pornography?” Siad the Junior Editor.
“Yes,” Fred replied, “the author, whoever it is, wants to exterminate all progressives, without exception.”
The Junior Editor had another question.
“Did they explain why it’s being printed in an anonymous and abridged edition?”
Yes,” said Fred, “according to the forward--written by that brat Boatman--the person equivalent to the author is living on this timeline and he believes that the progressives will murder him if the name is revealed. Can you believe that bullshit?’
“No--Did he say why it was abridged?”
“He says that it would give information to the Progressive Movement that will allow it to avoid errors and make it more difficult to bring down. He also calls all progressives ‘a pack of predatory animals and vermin fit for extermination.’”
The Junior Editor’s eyes widened.
“Well we can’t let that trash go unanswered.” He said.
The senior watch officer read the message and then made a decision. He looked up a telephone number from the list at hand and dialed it.
When a very grumpy old man answered the phone the senior watch officer spoke.

Yes,” said Fred, “according to the forward--written by that brat Boatman--the person equivalent to the author is living on this timeline and he believes that the progressives will murder him if the name is revealed. Can you believe that bullshit?’
“No--Did he say why it was abridged?”
“He says that it would give information to the Progressive Movement that will allow it to avoid errors and make it more difficult to bring down. He also calls all progressives ‘a pack of predatory animals and vermin fit for extermination.’”
The Junior Editor’s eyes widened.
“Well we can’t let that trash go unanswered.” He said.
