Thought For the Day

Objectivism Versus 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 Supressive Person in the doctrine of Scientology.

Because it is 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.

Trick Or What?

From Mark Urbin:

The Stupid Is Strong

Mark Urbin was kind to pass this along:

This is a level of The Stupid that is rarely seen outside of the higher management of the Church of Scientology.  As it would require a literal miracle for Miss Colton to get out of bed without accidentally killing herself I would have to reconsider my long standing position on the concept of God, or I could simply raise the question of if she is actually conscious or not.

But I'm too tired to write up a response to this walking brain death case.

A Suggestion

Would Hillary Clinton please do this nation a service and take the final exit?

Oh...that's right...she only serves herself...never mind...

An Answer

A Leftist twit posted this question online:

“PLEASE CAN SOMEONE JUST TELL ME WHAT THEY MEAN WHEN THEY SAY THEY’RE AFRAID OF SHARIA LAW. WHAT SCARES YOU SPECIFICALLY (?)”

A law is a standing order to the apparatus of the state to carry out acts of force to specific persons under specific circumstances.   In a civilized society the legal code directs the government to protect the rights (such as Life, Liberty, and Property) of the citizens and legal residents of a nation.  Under barbarism the apparatus of the state is directed to attack and plunder the subject population.  And Islam is barbarism on steroids.

Islam and the mass of contradictions that is claimed to be a system of law was the product of a thoroughly depraved individual.  Sharia is the codification of the nihilistic lust for power and plunder of the false prophet Mohammed whose moral values are essentially that of a predatory animal pretending to be a human being. 

I could describe Mohammed as a walking piece of excrement but that would be an insult to excrement.

If that doesn’t answer the question, what does?

And thanks to Mark Urbin for calling attention to the aforementioned mind dropping.

No Kidding

John Cox brought us this:

Seriously, back when I was doing a security job in downtown Minneapolis someone once asked me where the post office was.  I pointed to the massive limestone building with the words UNITED STATES POST OFFICE literally carved in stone.  The woman said that she couldn't see it.

She had to be a Democrat.

Not An Original Thought

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 senator 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.

So Anyway (Once Again)

Once upon a time ago someone going by the handle of Technomad had some questions for Hillary Clinton as a presidential candidate:

"Mrs. Clinton, what makes you think that you're qualified to be President...or a Senator, or anything other than an Alcatraz inmate?"

"Mrs. Clinton, if your husband rapes someone, will you pardon him, or will he have to pay you millions of dollars like Marc Rich did?"

"Mrs. Clinton, when you start your reign as the Antichrist, will I have to get '666' tattooed on my forehead, or on my hand?"

"Mrs. Clinton, what is the truth behind those rumors that you think of I, Claudius as a training video? And what do you mean---don't eat the figs?"

"Mrs. Clinton, if you'd had a son, do you think he'd have joined the monks at Mount Athos to make sure he'd gotten away from you, or just joined the Foreign Legion?"

"Mrs. Clinton, when you take the oath, will you really be able to put your hand on the Bible without it bursting into flames?"

And remember that Hillary Clinton is a miserable failure.

So Anyway...

This blog was once titled Living In The Surreal World and the primary focus was commentary on the weird...stuff...that was put forth by others.  Believe it or not someone actually came in, missed the point, and sneered that my view of the world was surreal. 

And speaking of surreal here's a PSA video by some former captives of the Church of Scientology:

What can I say?

Come On!

While at the supermarket I saw the cover of the latest issue of the National Enquirer that proclaimed that Hillary Clinton had only six months to live.

Really?  I know that the Enquirer has a reputation for extreme optimism but that's over the top.

The Stupid Is Strong

Thanks again to Mark Urbin:

Given that the National Rifle Association was founded by veterans of the Union Army to teach former slaves to fight back against the terrorist arm of the Democratic Party (KKK) it’s no surprise that this DS feels that way.

Beliefs Matter

A robber was asked why he robbed banks and answered because that’s where the money was.  So why does mass murder happen in gun-free zones?  Because that’s where the unarmed victims are.

We must remember that a firearm is a tool and is the instrument of human action. 

The cause of human actions are the beliefs of the actors.  The mass slaughters of the last century didn’t happen because of the weapons.  The Holocaust wasn’t caused by a supply of insecticide, the National Socialists were acting on their beliefs.  The murderer in Oregon didn’t kill innocent people because he had a gun, he killed them because of his beliefs.

Of course the nomenklatura are whining about the gun because the last thing they want is to judged on their beliefs.

The Stupid Is Strong

Again Thanks to Mark Urbin.

The silly bird wants to play National Socialist...isn't that special?

No doubt the National Socialist African Assholes Party will want sing a number about this martyr to racial collectivism but it will be a rap song.*

*Yes, I know that rap music is a contradiction in terms.

A Reminder

I'm Repeating Myself

What the Republican Party needs to get through their collective skulls right now is the fact that the age of politics as usual is over.  No more compromise.  No more deals.  No more bipartisanship.

There must be a radical clean up of the mess that the Left has created. The partisans of socialism must be completely removed from our public institutions. And if we are to have a future as the primary nation of civilization we must make a special effort to clean out the sewer the educational establishment has become under control of the Left.  And we must absolutely eject the spoiled brats who imagine themselves to be the heirs of Marx and Lenin.

If those idiots would just die it would be nice too.

Diana: A Wasted Life

 While going through some old files I found the full version of a review of Andrew Morton's biography of Diana Spencer that was submitted for publication in The Resister.  But the editor rewrote it to drop the philosophy and even got her maiden name wrong so here it is without further editing.

DIANA: A Wasted Life

By Leslie Bates

One of the things I do for my own selfish pleasure is to take a sketchbook and a drafting pencil and draw.  For the last fifteen years the second favorite subject of my work was Diana, the Princess of Wales. [1]  So when Andrew Morton's biography of Diana was originally published I purchased a copy.  It took me four months to work up the nerve to finish the first chapter.  I did not (and no rational egoist could) enjoy the spectacle of seeing a soul being crushed by a band of witch doctors. [2]

To properly become an adult, a child must gain moral knowledge, to know what human life is and how to live it.  What Diana received as a child was close to pure poison.  Her parents sent Diana to a boarding school, the Church of England's equivalent of a Dewey Camp.  Here she was pounded with the doctrines that selflessness was the moral ideal, that sacrifice and obedience were virtues, that independent judgement was evil, that her mind was impotent to deal with material existence, and that the non-existent (God and Heaven) was superior to that which exists (Man and the Earth).  Her mind thus mangled, it should have been no surprise that her life would be mangled as well.

With her intellectual and moral development arrested in childhood, Diana became a Second Hander, someone who avoids moral judgement and is dependent of others for guidance.  To avoid judgement is to suspend consciousness, it is to effectively shut down the mind and to enter the mental equivalent of a state of death.  With her mind snuffed out it should not have been a surprise to anyone that Diana would shortly be physically snuffed out.

Diana was told that the royal family was the pinnacle of civilized society.  A rational person would have seen British royalty as a useless remnant of a barbaric tradition, and that the monarch had become nothing more than a hand puppet for ruling party.  No sane woman would condemn any of her children to such a fate.

During her engagement Diana discovered that her fiancee was a pragmatist who had an active sexual affair with an already married woman and who had no intention of breaking off the affair.  A rational woman would have dumped the the snivelling piece of hominid garbage on the spot, Diana asked her sisters for advice and was told to go through with the marriage out of duty. [3]

As a second hander, Diana had no self esteem and was dependent on others for advice and approval, she valued what others told her to value.  This led to her constant pursuit of public attention and her spending an absurd amount of time being photographed hugging crippled children and walking biohazards. [4]  Her capacity for judgement paralyzed, Diana paid for guidance from psychics and astrologers and even took direction from her own sons.  It was with the approval of a psychic and her sons that Diana entered a close [nudge nudge] relationship with the Egyptian playboy Dodi al Fayed.

Dodi al Fayed was the unproductive son of a pull peddler who lived on an allowance, routinely bounced checks, and manipulated women.  A rational woman would have screamed and ran away.  Dodi also was in the habit of bribing limousine drivers to radically violate (100+ MPH) local speed limits. [5] Left to his own devices, Dodi al Fayed was a top contender for the Darwin Award. [6] 

Even if a rational woman were not aware of Dodi's other vices, she would have seen his open contempt for his own life as cause for alarm.  But on the advice of others Diana put her trust in a whim-worshipping third world savage, and as a consequence paid the ultimate price.

Diana was an excellent example of how not to live, she could have avoided the aforementioned horrors by simply saying: "No, this is wrong, I won't do it."  To do so requires a valid knowledge of moral standards, and for Diana to know that she was right to exercise moral judgement.  It is not enough to know that there is an alternative to a particular course of action, one must know that the alternative is morally correct. [7]
     
Footnotes

1. The favorite subject being myself.

2. When I first read this my thought was, "If this is how the ruling class educates their children then its no wonder that England is becoming a third world country."

3. She would have been better off shacking up with a godless capitalist from Minneapolis, but I digress.

4. HIV infected individuals.

5. I usually cruise on the freeways between 65 and 70 MPH.

6. Posthumously given to the individual who exits the gene pool in a absurdly stupid manner.

7. This problem isn't unique to Diana.  The reason The RESISTER dropped the Moral Decision Game was that while many of the entrants identified the correct tactical solution, no one could name the principle of Objectivist ethics underlying the solution.
