First they came for the statues….

What do you know, long about Wednesday, August 16, 2017, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal) discovered that the United States Capitol building was infested with statues of Confederate dignitaries. Thirty years walking those marbled halls and she just noticed? Her startled announcement perked up Senator Cory Booker (D- NJ) who has been navigating those same halls only a few years. He quickly introduced a bill to blackball the offending statues. And, of course, the congressional black caucus also enjoyed a mass epiphany on the bronze and stone delegation of white devils.

I’d like to hear to hear an argument as to why the Washington Monument should remain dedicated to that vicious slave-driver and rebellious soldier, and indeed the name of the city that is the federal seat of government. Or the District of Columbia (after Columbus, who initiated the genocide of Native Americans). Or America, cribbed out of Amerigo Vespucci, the wicked Florentine cartographer who ascertained that the place called Brazil today was not the east coast of Asia but actually a New World — and so all our troubles began!

Well, there has been a lot of idle chatter the past half-century about the root causes of this-and-that, and it seems that we have located one at last. I expect that scientific studies out of our best universities will soon confirm that occult transmissions from the statue of Jefferson Davis (a double-devil named after an earlier devil) are responsible for the murder rate in Chicago.

Just as empires tend to build their most grandiose monuments prior to collapse, our tottering empire is concocting the most monumentally ludicrous delusions before it slides down the laundry chute of history. It’s as if the Marx Brothers colluded with Alfred Hitchcock to dream up a melodramatic climax to the American Century that would be the most ridiculous and embarrassing to our posterity.

In the meantime, many citizens await Monday’s spectacle of a total solar eclipse in parts of the country. They apparently don’t realize that another eclipse has been underway for months: the total eclipse of reality across the entire landscape of the USA. Now that has been an event to behold, not just some twenty-minute freak of astronomy. What’s being blacked out is the perilously fragile condition of the financial system — a great groaning Rube Goldberg contraption of accounting fraud, grift, statistical deceit, and racketeering that pretends to support the day-to-day activities of our national life.

For months, the recognition of this oncoming financial monster has been blocked by the hallucination of gremlins from the Kremlin infiltrating the recent presidential election. But just as that mirage was dissolving, along comes the treacherous invasion of the Confederate statues. It begins to look like the final piece of the puzzle in the Deep State’s quest to eject Donald Trump from the oval office. His response to the deadly statue situation (“…why not Washington and Jefferson…?”) was deemed so obtuse and unfeeling that even the rodents of his own nominal Republican Party want to jump his ship of state.

So, the set-up could not be more perfect! The country will now get down to the business of a months-long 25th Amendment circle-jerk at the very moment that the financial system flies apart. The damage from the financial clusterfuck will be much more real, and much worse, than anything that might be spun out of the anti-statue crusade hogging the headlines today. It will be interesting to see whether the old legacy media even reports on it as it happens, or whether they will cook up new and more bizarre entertainments to distract the public from what might be the ultimate swindling of a lifetime.

    I don’t know anybody who said after I’m gone, I hope they build a monument to me. It’s pathetic. If inspiration is the only reason for monuments, tear them down. The Washington Monument is the worse. A gigantic erection. And white to boot. Now that is really hilarious.

      The best leaders we could ever have would not want a monument. They would like to be remembered for what they accomplished and that what they accomplished was not due to shallow vanity.

      • sophia August 18, 2017 at 12:32 pm #

        Building a monument is probably the best way to get a person remembered.

        Monuments again.
        There is no, today, a single archaeologist or art historian who, upon a newly discovered bust of Roman General, better yet Emperor or 800 sf mosaic depicting gladiator’s (slave’s) combat, would go: ‘F**ck, that s**t again!
        Ruins of gladiator’s arenas, triumphant arches (triumph led to slavery to locals) are prized possessions of any Country, besides today’s Italy, that has it.
        As for the Confederate monuments issue of today I do not get it since I (and most outside world as I recall) always viewed US as a care-free Nation that would be bothered with that. Actually the Nation, in my view, was proud, in some way, of that past and not ashamed to show both sides.
        As for the hair splitting which monuments are to go and which to remain, with possible spill on Confederate grave yards, battle fields where they were the winners one can easily see no end to it.

        The bronze statues will be taken down when we need the bronze, the only controversy will be who gets the bronze. The stone ones will remain among the rubble, they don’t make good building blocks. There is something to be said for moving a lot of the bronze sooner, many of them are not that far above sea level !

        • Iananna August 18, 2017 at 2:30 pm #

          One of the, many, lessons in the Iliard – hubris, treachery, obedience, greed etc – is that, after sacking Troy, the Greeks took the Torjan armour, not to wear but to melt down.
          Bronze was far more useful than gold as it could be transformed into everything needed by the society of the day.
          With gold all one could do was buy stuff that someone else had made.
          Almost a metaphor for tomorrow. No?

        In my hometown of Helena Montana there’s a fountain in a place called Hill Park. The fountain was funded by the United Daughters of the Confederacy – it’s a memorial to the dead men, the husbands, sons, uncles and brothers… not a memorial to the Confederacy.

        The city council says it must be removed immediately…there have already been arrests..I think somebody’s going to get an eye poked out.

        As I recall, there are several place names around Helena that hearken to the War of Northern Aggression. Names like Confederate Gulch, Radersburg and Unionville..I wonder if the city elders will change those as well?.

        Several years ago, the Forest Service started to sanitize the maps issued for public use…removing names like “Squaw Peak” and “Bloody Dick Mountain”…I asked the Ranger what they were going to rename the “Tetons” .

        ….this is beginning to feel a lot…. Orwellian.

            Well as our host has pointedly observed on more than one occasion it is suspiciously theatrical. The torch parade (with identical Wal-Mart tiki torches yet – how banal); the predictable confrontations, after which neither side comes to any enlightenment whatsoever as to how things might be done differently.

            Could there simply be a deep disgust with the nation? That would be something new for Lana the Free and Homer the Brave. You could certainly sense it in Germany after the war, Latinoamerica steadily, as one crooked caudillo crumples and vanishes offshore with the gold reserves. Or loses a war with an elderly Euro-nation thousands of miles away (at least they managed to rid Argentina of the junta). Cambodia. Thailand (that will certainly sharpen, considering the current management). Much of the EU (‘Why in the world did we let Germany talk us into this?’), following Greece. Disgust abounds in Turkey, Iran (among the restless youth), and so on. Japan, frozen in the continuum and turning radioactive. Sweden, morphing into a frozen no-go zone.

            Disgust with nationalism itself would also be a novelty. Last night RT carried an amazing pageant from Sevastopol: ‘Night Wolves’ with all sorts of synchronized marching, make-believe airplanes and soldiers, even a Joseph Stalin double in full uniform waving cheerily to the audience. Putin’s clearly trying to pep up his peoples, who in their wisdom are profoundly sick of incompetent, greedy governments, both near and far away.

            Small communities just want to be left alone to get on with life, wherever you look, but that is the one desire which shall not be fulfilled as long as there is one apparatchik left wielding power in the capital.

      George Washington is now comparable to Robert E Lee? Perhaps you should do a little reading on President Washington. I’d suggest “Washington: A Life” by Ron Chernov. Perhaps then you wouldn’t make such absurd comparisons. And you wouldn’t need to drag the old “blacks killing blacks in Chicago” Red Herring out to cover your trail.

      You might also educate yourself on when and why the Monuments to the Confederacy proliferated. It wasn’t just after the Civil War. It wasn’t until after 1900 most of the moments were erected during the Jim Crow laws era. To play stupid and pretend they were erected innocently to honor person or history is really beneath you.

      I’m a life long southerner, born in Alabama and raised in the south. I love the south and it’s heritage. I’ll always be a southerner and a redneck and I’ll have to be honest, Yankees get under my skin. But that doesn’t stop me from seeing beyond this protecting southern heritage bull shit. If some of my fellow citizens and taxpayers find them offensive I understand. Let a bunch of Jane Fonda monuments sprout up on taxpayer property, at taxpayer expense, and let’s see if a bunch of folks don’t get real pissed off. I don’t need a statue for me to remember history or honor whatever part of it I think need honoring. I don’t want government bodies deciding who deserves honoring, any of them. While we’re at, how about we do away with all this Ronald Reagan the saint bull shit. Fuck some airport.

      • earltwitty August 18, 2017 at 3:00 pm #

        Now here’s a real Southerner! He loves his heritage but he “sees thru this “protecting southern heritage bull shit”. People who love real Southern Heritage love the monuments. Of course little old ladies in male bodies who think the War was fought to bring the races together, well who knows what such creatures “think”.

      Historical statues typically honor or remember people of greatness, the beneficial contribution they made. The Confederate generals hold no other claim than military men who fought to split up the union and retain slavery in their states. Since our culture has deemed slavery an intolerable injustice, it only befits us to remove structures glorifying that establishment. Those edifices, however, that honor Washington and Jefferson, albeit who were slave owners, are monuments erected not for those despicable acts, but for their more important contribution and personal sacrifices to create a new nation. Commemoration should be based upon one’s sum merit, not iniquity.

  2. K-Dog August 18, 2017 at 9:22 am #

    I’d like to hear to hear an argument as to why the Washington Monument should remain dedicated to that vicious slave-driver and rebellious soldier, and indeed the name of the city that is the federal seat of government.

    Because Washington was part of the Federal Government, Confederates were not. We have a state named for Washington but having a state named for a confederate would be an abomination.

    • DrTomSchmidt August 18, 2017 at 9:29 am #

      Abomination? Isn’t that a religious term?

      • K-Dog August 18, 2017 at 9:54 am #

        It can be but it can also mean extremely inappropriate in a cosmically significant way.

        a·bom·i·na·tion
        ??bäm??n?SH(?)n/
        noun
        noun: abomination; plural noun: abominations

        * a thing that causes disgust or hatred.
        “this bill is an abomination to all mankind”
        synonyms: atrocity, disgrace, horror, obscenity, outrage, evil, crime, monstrosity, anathema, bane
        “in both wars, internment was an abomination”

        * a feeling of hatred.
        “their abomination of indulgence”
        synonyms: detestation, loathing, hatred, aversion, antipathy, revulsion, repugnance, abhorrence, odium, execration, disgust, horror, hostility
        “she looked upon his kitschy decor with abomination”

        • DrTomSchmidt August 18, 2017 at 11:45 am #

          Interesting etymology:
          early 14c., “abominable thing or action;” late 14c., “feeling of disgust, hatred, loathing,” from Old French abominacion “abomination, horror, repugnance, disgust” (13c.), from Latin abominationem (nominative abominatio) “abomination,” noun of action from past participle stem of abominari “shun as an ill omen,” from ab “off, away from” (see ab-) + omin-, stem of omen (see omen).

          Ab-homine: away from man.

        • libertysghost August 18, 2017 at 1:19 pm #

          So we are debating which losers to memorialize then?

          What statues should replace these? I’m guessing the crowd demanding their removal aren’t basing those arguments on who won what…because if they did they’ll have a hard time justifying their ideas for replacements since they tend to only want to memorialize their “victim of the day” who by definition, didn’t really win.

          • Janos Skorenzy August 18, 2017 at 4:37 pm #

            If you beat me up because of my ideas, did you prove my ideas wrong? It’s kind of like that. The North won the War but didn’t win the Peace. Yankees are distrusted in many parts of rural America in a way Southerners are not.

  3. DrTomSchmidt August 18, 2017 at 9:27 am #

    The statues follow the same idea as renaming streets for MLK and others. A cheap gesture that is supposed to mollify the black lower class, instead of a change to the system that keeps them from having a chance at competing for the top prizes (leaving aside their own issues.) now we have an impoverished white class that also sees no prospects the way the system is set up, but is the loser in the no-cost signifying game.

    Rather than damage, JHK, you might consider: maybe the financial cluster-fuck will wind up healing, as it gives the upper classes a sense of what the black and now white working classes have suffered. They’re desperately trying to hold onto their privileges, and the whole edifice they’ve constructed around a rationale for that (we live in a “meritocracy,” don’t you know) is creaking and groaning under the stress.

    Recall: the median dollar amount of retirement savings in the USA is $5000.

    When the system goes, maybe we can have a reset on unpayable debt that has created a new slavery. I didn’t see Antifa fighting those slavers, but they’re far more pernicious for being unobvious. Oh, and they have the advantage of being alive now.

        A lot of private enterprises got going in the 1930s when the Depression weakened their large competitors. Black and white lower classes have been impoverished and humbled. Perhaps when the top echelon feels this we will get change.

          Could be, but I’m not counting on it. The elite’s knowledge base – not to mention their unbridled chutzpah – has increased exponentially since the 1930’s. Credit where credit is due: the morally degenerate rich cocksuckers are studious and opportunistic.

          Aha! A glimmering, high-seas, real-world example of what Meester Jeem and yourself have been pondering for some time now:

          “The tanker was loaded with oil in late June at the Caribbean island of St. Eustatius where PDVSA rents storage tanks, and has been waiting for authorization to discharge since early July, according to Reuters. It is here that the delivery process was halted as crude sellers request letters of credit from customers that guarantee payment within 30 days after a cargo is delivered.

          While the documents must be issued by a bank and received before the parties agree to discharge, this time this is impossible as the correspondent bank has decided to avoid interacting with PDVSA and running afoul of the latest US sanctions. It was not immediately clear which banks have denied letters of credit and if other U.S. refiners are affected.”

          Now we can be excused for having the unmitigated gall to ask the forbidden question: Just WHO is it that our glorious-and-good congress works for with these outrageous sanctions bills? Is it at the behest and urging of “the ‘Murkin peepole”? (I’m getting an inkling that said peepole have zero input into these soberly-considered issues.)

    Kunstler: “I’d like to hear an argument…” By your command.

    Premise: We ought to embrace what is good and reject what is evil.

    Premise: Slavery was and is an evil.

    Fact: The evil of slavery was the single, central and constitutive principle of the Confederacy. This was made unmistakably clear by Confederate vice president Alexander Stephens:

    “The ideas entertained at the time of the formation of the old Constitution were that the enslavement of the African race was in violation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally, and politically. Our new government is founded on exactly opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery—subordination to the superior race—is his natural and moral condition. This our Government is the first in the history of the world based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth. It is upon this our social fabric is firmly planted, and I cannot permit myself to doubt the ultimate success of the full recognition of this principle throughout the civilized and enlightened world…. This stone which was rejected by the first builders ‘is become the chief stone of the corner’ in our new edifice.” [Emphasis added.]

    Seldom does history offer such clarity. In contradistinction to the republic founded by Washington, or the District of Columbia (or the city of Columbus, OH or the province of British Columbia or the South American country of Colombia), the Confederacy embraced slavery not as a means to an end but as its central and constitutive principle. It did so at a time when national opinion outside the South had turned against the evil of slavery.

    Conclusion: The Confederacy, being founded explicitly on the embrace of evil, uniquely deserves rejection and repudiation.

    Asked and answered, Jim. I look forward to your response.

            I’m disappointed in you, sophia. The Hillary-style Democrats use similar tactics to dismiss the concerns of ‘deplorables’.

            I don’t think of what I post around here as virtue-signaling; I consider it an effort, however piddling, to focus on actual virtue as I understand it. Opposing racism and white supremacism is important, but the virtue-signaling Democrats have lulled themselves into believing that that’s enough — to the great benefit of their donors and to the terrible injury of their country, as we saw in Charlottesville last weekend.

            Steve Bannon understands this perfectly. He told a journalist this week: “‘The Democrats,’ he said, ‘the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em. I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.'”

          If you are driving towards the center line you move right. If you are too close to parked cars you move left. It’s more complicated in real life because the Left are “people” who want to move left over the sacred center and crash the car. He’s right and your wrong: they need to be crushed. We’re into the Male Mysteries here and it’s time people like you learned silence. You don’t get it and you’re not going to get it. You would make a desert and call it peace.

      Robert E Lee was a loser. He lost the war. He’ a loser. Which is the tell here. If you are a white supremacist, to Trump you’re a winner even if you are factually and historically, a loser. General Lee went to West Point and graduated top of his class. He could have fought for the Union. He knew in his heart of hearts he was fighting for a republic that enslaved men. He did not distance himself from this republic, he embraced it, he fought for it; and he lost.

        Ban white identity politics, it’s quite simple.

        Yes he lost the war, and yes the UDC spent way too much time and money building statues, but that is not your point.

        Your point as probably a submissive white male on the left is act like a hysterical fool who out hysterics in a permissible way allowing you to remain on the left.

        This mentality, combined with the US policy of unconditional surrender, patented by US Grant during the Civil War, turns EVERY war into a total war. There is disparagement, and perhaps later cultural and then physical genocide. This will encourage losers of a war to fight on, since obliteration is likely in either case.

        Contrast the Iliad, one of the founding books of Western Civilization. The Trojans lost, but the Greeks would never call them losers, or disparage the name of Hector.

        Destroy the culture of war, as Martin Van Creveld calls it, and you’ll guarantee not NO war, but incomparably worse war.

          Still, compared to the days when the privileged classes would pack picnic boxes and take their families to a high point to observe enemies frolicking on the battlefield the ante has been upped considerably since 1918: the bellicose public, the manipulative elite and the governing class are all held hostage by the prospect of a thermonuclear conflagration.

          That’s nice, as it spreads risk the way it should be shared. During the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, Cold Warrior Jack Kennedy was heard musing about the prospect of losing twenty million of his fellow Americans in an exchange with the USSR.

          He did not presumably include his good self or the denizens of Hyena Sport. He should have.

            Yeah, we forget one thing about the horror of nuclear weapons: there’s no way for the fallout not to affect the elite. Those Christians killed on Nagasaki Sunday died to bring about a world where, after 1949 when the Soviets acquired one, the idea of large-scale war between great powers became unthinkable because of its horror. More than horror, it’s damage to the elite.

            Until they solve that problem, we need only worry about minor wars against people without nuclear weapons, and civil wars.

            messianicdruid

            The late Raymond Crotty explained the economics of slavery in agricultural societies, ie all societies until quite recently.

            In the riverine societies of Egypt and Mesopotamia with the technology of the time one seed planted would yield about ten grains. The population expanded to fill the available arable land. All had equal worth (or rather worthlessness) under an autocratic ruler since nobody could expand overall output by their own individual labour.

            In Mediterranian societies like Greece the return on one seed was closer to four (from memory). Agriculture alone (so argued Crotty) was not viable in that, while you could grow enough to feed yourself and perhaps one other it was not enough to reproduce. However it *was* profitable if you used slaves (‘things that talk’) as they did not reproduce and the (admittedly meagre) surplus from their labour went to the slave owner, or society.

            In the forests of Western Europe even slave labour could not provide a decisive benefit in a very harsh climate where the return on each seed was perhaps as low as two or three. The urgent problem facing the first settlers was fodder for their cattle over the harsh winters. The answer was for these pastoralists to use them as draught to grow cereals, the straw of which was used as fodder. A long painfully slow period of steady investment in capital (livestock, seedcorn, tools, barns) allowed a steady if slow increase in output. Decisions had to be made about which animals to retain with the limited fodder and which to slaughter. Delayed gratification was a necessary virtue. By 1000 AD output in northern Europe overtook the south. With capital it was possible for an individual through hard work and intelligence to increase his own output and that of society. Given effectively free land (the region had been covered with forest that had to be laboriously cleared – I imagine the situation was similar for the first settlers in America) output was potentially infinite.

            Ireland because of its mild, wet winter and summer climate fell outside the capitalist area and capitalism did not evolve. Instead its people were pastoralist and, like everywhere else except W. Europe, collectivist rather than individualist. The Bantu tribes which expanded out of W. Africa about a thousand years ago were and are also pastoralist.

            Crotty argued that slavery in America became unprofitable about two centuries ago or so (again from memory) because the whole world (and especially eastern Asia) had been opened up and the raw materials from plantations were more cheaply available elsewhere. In the West Indies Africans were imported as slaves because they could withstand the harsh conditions better than the indigenous peoples. In the 17th C the British tried using Irish deportees as slaves but they were seditious and too eager to support any rebellion that happened.

          “I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races. I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people. There is a physical difference between the white and black races, which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.”
          — President Lincoln, written in 1858, quoted from Cato Institute article ‘Lincoln, Secession and Slavery’ by Tibor R. Machan

          “My paramount object in this struggle is TO SAVE THE UNION, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. IF I COULD SAVE THE UNION WITHOUT FREEING ANY SLAVE I WOULD DO IT; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race,
          I do because I believe it helps to save the Union.”

          — President Lincoln, excerpt from: a letter to Horace Greeley, dated August 22, 1862.

          “We have stricken the (slave) shackles from four million human beings and brought all laborers to a common level not so much by the elevation of former slaves as BY PRACTICALLY REDUCING THE WHOLE WORKING POPULATION, WHITE AND BLACK, TO A CONDITION OF SERFDOM. While boasting of our noble deeds, we are careful to conceal the ugly fact that by an iniquitous money system we have NATIONALIZED A SYSTEM OF OPPRESSION which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery.”

          — Horace Greeley (1811-1872), founder of the New York Tribune, speaking on post-civil war or ‘14th amendment’ citizenship

          Slavery and citizenship are more closely alike than one might imagine.

          Perhaps we should all stop the worship of graven images and Idols whether they be from the Northern or Southern Districts.

          • Sean Coleman August 18, 2017 at 5:16 pm #

            Good quotes. Rather than idol worship the issue is the clichéd division of good and evil. Fantasies cannot cope with an examination of the evidence and this explains all the deceit.

            Goetz Aly wrote an interesting book recently about the German 68ers. He sees them as growing out of the rootless radicalism of their fathers who had supported the Nazis in their own youth. So the ‘rebellion’ (about what? Long hair, ‘bluejeans’, ‘rock und roll’ and corporal punishment in schools, fairly quickly latching onto Amerikanisch Imperialismus) quickly became authoritarian.

            “Deswegen 68 relativ rasch in totalitare unduldsam Forme umgerarten ist: dieses Freundfeinddenken, diese Utopismus dass man die ganze Welt verandern muesste…”

            So the 68ers fairly quickly adopted intolerant totalitarian forms: this friend-enemy-thinking, this utopianism that you had to change the whole world… these are elements that came from the 20thC totalitarian tradition.

            I like that word, Freundfeinddencken (I caught it right). It has to mean what I say above about simplistic categorizing into good and evil, as is happening with Trump. I think you get this in all such fantasies, mass delusoins and witch hunts.

    • Q. Shtik August 18, 2017 at 1:56 pm #

      In the prior thread Messianicdruid pointed out something obvious but very relevant: Modern people too often judge ancients by modern standards.

      Whatever people believe today negates and makes awful whatever people used to believe.

      Probably half or more of the world’s population adheres to Judaism, Christianity or Islam. These religions all have their roots in the Old Testament whose stories span 3000 years beginning about 5000 years ago. Slavery seems to have been a common station in life throughout that period and I have not read one word thus far (thru 2/3rds of the OT) that says slavery was immoral. Only the proper treatment of slaves is addressed.

      It was just the other day that I read this astonishing paragraph (by today’s standards) in a section titled ‘Property and Servants’ from the Book of Sirach, Chap 33, V 25-33:

      Fodder and whip and loads for an ass; the yoke and harness and the rod of his master. | Food, correction and work for a slave; and for a wicked slave, punishment in the stocks. Make a slave work and he will look for his rest; let his hands be idle and he will seek to be free. Force him to work that he be not idle, for idleness is an apt teacher of mischief. Put him to work, for that is what befits him; if he becomes unruly, load him with chains. But never lord it over any human being, and do nothing unjust. If you have but one slave, treat him like yourself, for you have acquired him with your life’s blood; if you have but one slave, deal with him as a brother, for you need him as you need your life: If you mistreat him and he runs away, in what direction will you look for him?

      Note: I am quoting from a Catholic Bible called the Confraternity Version, published around 1950. This Bible is loaded with footnotes meant to provide explanation of certain verses where it is deemed necessary. Here are the footnotes applicable to slaves:

      Slaves are to be given food and work and correction but never to be treated unjustly (25-29). Great care should be taken of good slaves (30-33).

      Sooo, the takeaway from all this is that everything that has been believed for 5000 years until verrry recently has been total bullshit according to the new left.

      • Elrond Hubbard August 18, 2017 at 2:13 pm #

        Whaddya mean, “according to the new left”? Of course much of what was believed for the past 5,000 years was total bullshit. Would you board a flying machine designed according to Aristotle’s Physics? That would be a complicated way to either accomplish nothing or commit suicide.

        Human beings learned how to build and fly actual airplanes only after they began to test their inherited beliefs and reject the ones that didn’t measure up. This is as true for the barbaric values of the Old Testament as it is for the natural philosophy of years gone by.

        I don’t blame people born into a society of ignorance and cruelty for being no better than their times. I do blame present-day people who advocate a return to atavism and barbarism, because they have no excuse.

        • GhostOfHam August 19, 2017 at 12:42 am #

          May I make a few suggestions, please?

          I’ve had to learn these suggestions too.

          Don’t conflate barbarism with the (whole of the) Old Testament (or the New). Read or re-read the books not as “hocus-pocus” old-beared-man (church) religion and atavism (as a single narrative) but as Natural (negative) Law ( as opposed to Positive ascriptive law) while attempting to discern the God or (lower-case) god who is speaking or acting or exhorting or demanding an action (of or to a slave) in a passage. In this way you might see a parallel series of parables and lessons running sychronously though out the stories, even ones that are, on the outset, abhorent to you.

          Don’t take the narratives as straight-out factual History. His-story is encoded: it’s written language: it’s a language art form created (and re-created, or transmogrified many times over) in / for agency to serve a legal corruption of another positive law fiction’s form: it’s a re-presentation of what is real: in this case, it’s a (bible of) simulation: of a copy of a copy of a copy without an original, and therefore historically fictitious: a lie, accepted as Truth in a reader’s instance of imagination. And soon to be electronically virtualized.

          Indeed, people were enslaved. And while slavery’s style has gone mostly from the ends of the North American cracker whips, one should not imagine that the devils’ tongues do not still whisper the spirit of it into the ears of the lawful gods who, with with a civil aesthetic, dispense it where needed, desired, and licensed.

          Study and discern those gods cruelty. Let us hear what they say. Beware them. Apprehend them. Dig into the law of Laws and look over the exoteric narratives into the esoteric, the inside, mystery.

          The Deepest State wants you to stay on the outside.

          “It is impossible to enslave, mentally or socially, A BIBLE-READING PEOPLE. The
          principles of the bible are the groundwork of human freedom.”

            I’m pretty sure people have always sought to do good and avoid evil, as they understand those things. But part of maturity is learning to govern your passions, and that includes your moral passions. You have to let go of infantile egotism and understand that you’re embedded in a larger reality.

            The great difference between our times (since roughly the invention of the printing press) and prior eras is the enormous increase in perspective-taking. The commandment “Thou shalt not kill” is morally correct, but it becomes much easier to obey as you come to understand people unlike yourself. Taking their perspective unveils how profound the similarities are between us and how superficial most of the differences.

            There have been, are, and will always be those among us who reject the full humanity of others unlike themselves, and they will seize on opportunities where they find them. This includes seizing on the surface meaning of biblical tales which a more mature understanding would see as relics of a bygone era.

          I don’t blame people born into a society of ignorance and cruelty for being no better than their times. I do blame present-day people who advocate a return to atavism and barbarism, because they have no excuse.

          Better than not blaming them, EH, can you praise the writer of the passage? He was born into a world where unbridled violence towards slaves might have been the norm. If he didn’t make the leap to “slavery is immoral,” since that would require overturning the whole mentality and legal system of the society he lived in, he at least moves the slave owner towards seeing his slave as a brother, and thus as a human. Without hat leap, you’re stuck with a Roman mentality of working slaves to death with the knowledge that the army will soon make war on some other hapless nearby society and supply a coterie of new slaves.

          With the exception of Slavery’s legality in the USA, you’ll find no support in this country for a return to it in actuality, though our system permits it. The work now is to continue applying the principle that no man should own another.

          That means taking on Debt slavery, and that is a discussion that the elite that benefits from the system REALLY doesn’t want to have. But as JHK points out, the system of rackets that includes unpayable debt has to come to an end.

          Antifa is there to keep that from happening peacefully.

          • Elrond Hubbard August 20, 2017 at 9:56 am #

            Slavery-in-actuality does exist now in the USA. The old system of slavery wasn’t fully abolished following the Civil War, only heavily modified. The 13th amendment forbids slavery ‘except as punishment for crime, whereof the person shall have been duly convicted’ (that’s a paraphrase, working from memory). Another way to put that is: “You can enslave people if you can gin up a conviction for some crime other other.” If you think that’s unfair, just draw the Venn diagram between criminal conviction and slavery; it’s identical in both cases. The chain gangs of prior decades and the mass prison labour of today, which targets blacks far more than any other ethnicity thanks to Nixon’s bogus War on Drugs, are evolutions of this updated system.

            Debt slavery was used extensively against freed slaves and their descendants. When African-Americans talk about being “hassled by The Man”, that recalls the furnishing man who rented farmers the necessary tools of their trade that they otherwise couldn’t afford. They would loan them the money at the beginning of the season and strip back the better part of the farmers’ earnings as interest and fees, thus preventing black farmers from accumulating wealth (much as housing discrimination prevented blacks from owning their own homes and accumulating wealth that way).

            White Americans used to enjoy great advantages over their black neighbours. But the past 30-40 years of Reaganomics have reduced the advantage to the point where white working people are feeling the bite that African-Americans have known all along. Hence Trump.

            “which targets blacks”

            Elrond

            Your statement is in error…it targets felons, a disproportionate number being black…would be more accurate and defendable a statement.

          • DrTomSchmidt August 20, 2017 at 12:07 pm #

            Yep. White power structures built a police state, which was fine as long as it was used only against blacks. The war on drugs being a great example. Now that police state has taken aim at whites, too. Maybe that will get it shut down; maybe it has grown too strong to stop by now.

            The power elite have failed to distribute the benefits recently, and have cut out even more of the population. They’d love a black-white lower class war that eliminates many of the useless eaters so they don’t have to give back.

            On wealth: the chief asset any person owns is the usufructs of his labor. Housing is actually a pretty poor way to gain wealth, unless you’re writing mortgages.

            Black female income as a percentage of white female income continued to rise to near parity. Black male income suffered a fall between 1979 and 1989, perhaps because people locked up don’t earn any income. For whatever reason, the rising trend from the 40s seems to have reversed about the time you identified,

          • Elrond Hubbard August 20, 2017 at 2:27 pm #

            elysianfield: Targets felons, having pre-defined people of colour as a suspect population. This used to be black-letter law, e.g. sundown towns where black people were forbidden to enter or remain at night; also shady wink-and-a-nod practises like ‘literacy tests’ that were enforced in draconian fashion against African-Americans to deny them the vote, while grandfather clauses ensured that their white neighbours faced no meaningful barrier.

            Jim Crow laws having been mostly shamed out of existence, the practise continues as unspoken bias baked into law enforcement. Nixon instituted the war on drugs as a pretext for targeting black citizens and activists — he couldn’t openly say he was doing political policing, but that’s what it was and largely remains. A more recent example is the police shooting of Philando Castile. His firearm was legal and we have ample video evidence that Castile properly and carefully advised the officer it was there, yet the officer shot him anyway.

            If the fix were not in against African Americans, the National Rifle Association would have gone to bat for Philando Castile the same way they go apeshit over the slightest hint of scepticism of the second Amendment. Their conspicuous silence highlights that the law of the land remains a weapon to be used against the black population, just as it always has been.

    • aibohphobia August 18, 2017 at 3:44 pm #

      @Elrond,
      You have obviously not visited the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, VA. Had you done so, you would already know that the South was fighting for their 10th amendment right to secede from the Union. The North was waging economic warfare against the South by requiring them to give up slaves while at the same time preventing their industrial development. Per the MotC, the Civil War had very little to do with slavery. Lincoln himself said early on that he would not advocate freeing the slaves. Only later in the conflict did he issue the Emancipation Proclamation as a way to destabilize the enemy.

      I _do_ wonder though, how many of the anti-slavery agitators are wearing clothing, the tags of which proclaim “made in Bangladesh” or in another 3rd world hellhole factory. Protesting against slavery while making slave-made clothing is a bit hypocritical, don’t you think?

      And, I don’t remember reading about groups of Southerners visiting Northern cities to demand the pulling down of statues of Sherman, that pillager of the Georgia countryside and starver of children– At least, not yet…

      • Elrond Hubbard August 18, 2017 at 6:19 pm #

        I’ll put this as clearly as I know how: I don’t give a good goddamn about the political theories, the post-hoc rationalizations, the wailing and gnashing of teeth, or the romantic nostalgia of the defeated for their Lost Cause.

        The destruction of the slave power and the emancipation of the enslaved population were an urgent moral necessity. If that was accomplished because the North was pursuing its interest, then at least it was accomplished. Blessed are those who do what’s right even if it’s not in their interest.

        • aibohphobia August 19, 2017 at 12:28 am #

          Careful, @Elrond– You are dangerously close to proclaiming that ‘The End Justifies the Means.’
          No one disagrees that freeing the slaves was a good thing, perhaps the only good thing to come out of the first US Civil War. But I do maintain that it was mostly a happy accident of history. It also made the former Confederate States effectively into colonies of the North, to be stripped of their resources and other wealth for the following hundred years. Was the suffering and effective enslavement of every race of the entire population of the South for a hundred years a ‘just solution?’
          Hopefully the second US Civil War (which seems to be forming around us) will have a less tragic outcome for the bulk of the US Population.

    • Sean Coleman August 18, 2017 at 11:59 am #

      I was thinking the same.

      There are echoes of the Spanish Civil War in this, probably because I just happen to be reading a lot about it just now. Nearly all the republicans were strongly anti-clerical, be they socialists, communists, anarchists or merely ‘moderate’ jacobins like Azana and burning down churches and Catholic libraries and educational institutions was in the fashion, almost a national sport. I see a picture in Pio Moa’s history of the war with happy young men smashing up statues. A woman holding a child looks on with interest. Religion was the superstition that was keeping the people down. That and the feudalism. It wasn’t rational enough and had to be got rid of.

      Another interesting thing about the republicans was that they were anything but democratic. The first couple of years of the Republic weren’t too bad and they could put up with the elected governments. But then they didn’t like them and they planned a revolution. Then in early 1936 they made sure that Spain got the right government by rigging the election.

      But looking back they were right because they were the good guys and not the bad guys. And we know that democracy isn’t everything it is made out to be because otherwise how could Brexit and Trump have happened?

      I was wondering what was next on the menu after gender and Russia. Smashing statues!

      ALL bills presented to Congress MUST be of a single subject. No combining of agendas. No cross referencing. ALL laws MUST be stand-alone statutes. Furthermore, there will be a moratorium on all new legislation until the existing body of law is untangled and separated into single-subject laws. Any conflicting laws are to be repealed.

      As for the Balanced Budget, that is impossible with a debt-usury based currency and doubly impossible if we want to maintain our hold on Global Currency Reserve status.

Self-financing via industrialization, self-sufficiency to the greatest extent possible, and a debt-free currency that capitalizes on value creation, import tariffs, and protected markets, is the only way to ever see a Balanced Budget.

      The only ones who will suffer (if done right) are the rentiers and the Top 1%.

    The story Trump is proffering now is actually a Nazi story that Germans used on Jews. The story first appeared shortly after 9/11. General Pershing historically is considered a “winning the hearts and minds of the people” kind of general, not a SunTzu type of general. And the Moros were fighting for their home, not for religion. So once again, Trump got just about everything wrong.

    Black people know how to tear down and destroy things; but don’t know how to construct and create things.

    These clowns could not construct a statue; nor the building behind it:

      Sadly, what you say is true. The European Jews, who had been stripped of everything, their homes and wealth taken, their families killed, and themselves tortured and starved, got out of the camps in 1945. By 1948 they had built a country and won a war. That’s a mere 3 years later.

      The Japs died by the millions, had their cities burnt to the ground, and had been nuked twice. Being under an Emperor, they never had any voting rights until 1945. Yet, within a few years they rebuilt their country. By the 1950’s they were producing Godzilla movies. And car, and electronic devices.

      Same with the Germans, whose women formed work lines to knock the mortar off bricks from rubbled buildings.Within a few years, there country was functioning again.

      All of these, by 1965 were back to being modern functioning countries.

      While American blacks are still whining about slavery, which ended in 1865 in America. American blacks, who not only don’t build anything, but tend as a group to destroy any city they occupy in large numbers. Think Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Chicongo, Oakland, etc. Who can’t even figure out how to get married and raise children in wedlock. Who drop out of school in large numbers and basically have no use for education. Who commit crimes way out of proportion to their numbers. Who have to be provideed for by society with food, housing, and medical care way out of proportion to their population.

      Sad, but true.

        There are Jews still getting reparation payments from Germany today. Last time I checked, American blacks can’t even get a license so they can open a casino in their ghetto. There was this little thing called The Marshall Plan that helped the Axis powers rebuild. Your self serving view of history is exactly the kind of white supremacy that needs to be obliterated.

        • Squeeky Fromm Girl Reporter August 18, 2017 at 11:44 am #

          The Marshall Plan helped hard working people RE-build their country. American Blacks don’t live in a destroyed country.

          American Blacks, get about $10,000 to $12,000 per year spent on each of their kids to get educated. Which money is usually a waste because there is no interest in education.

          American Blacks already have a society with roads, electricity, functioning hospitals and infra structure. American Blacks have access to free food, and free medical care, and telephones, and free birth control.

          So why pretend they need a Marshall Plan??? How would a Marshall Plan reduce the illegitimate birth rate?

          In fact, it was the Marshall Plan known as the “Great Society” that got the illegitimate black birth rate to kick off! Look at this chart:

          https://thesocietypages.org/graphicsociology/2010/10/18/out-of-wedlock-childbirth/

          You see, you are just making excuse for trashy and destructive behavior. Because you really don’t think Blacks could hack it in a society that didn’t treat them like little retarded children.

          Spend an hour listening to this, and educate yourself. The guy goes off topic to talk about how he grew up:

            To Seawolf:

            When the slaves first got freed, they probably could have used a “Marshall Plan”, or 40 acres and a mule.

            But those blacks, didn’t have access to welfare. Sooo, they got their a$$e% to work. They got married, and raised their kids in 2 parent families, and even started their own universities.

            They continued to make progress economically up until the Liberal Democrats decided to buy their votes with welfare. Then, it all went to crap. Look at the chart I provided you.

            Plus, quit regurgitating liberal dribble and get a book called Please Stop Helping Us, by Jason Riley. Open your mind up, and start reading some other books by black conservatives. You know, those Uncle Toms who aren’t black enough.

        Funny how those people who call me a racist never really explain why what I say is “racist.”

        I guess it’s because it’s pretty hard to argue with the reality of a 72% illegitimate birth rate. Or over half the murders in the country when you’re only 12% of the population.

        But I bet if you are white, that you know which areas of town to stay out of, and if you have kids, I bet you don’t send them to a predominantly black inner city school.

            Gee, that’s even better! What did American Japs get in 1988 or so??? Oh yeah, $20,000 in reparations for being put in camps during World War II.

            But by that time, 43 years later, did most Japs really need the money?? NO. Because rather than sit around whining, they got their a$$e$ back to work and rebuilt their lives. They were due reparations IMO, but not having gotten it for years had not stopped them from getting on with life.

            Plus, those reparations actually went to the people who had suffered the injustice, not 5 or 6 generations down the road.

            They sure didn’t sit around whining about the Shogun or whatever in the 1850’s or whenever and wait for the reparations. No, they rebuilt.

            Blacks could take a lesson from the Japs. Who even the non-American ones transformed into a functioning modern power by 1904, (within 50 years or so) to where they could stomp the Russians in that war.

    Here, You Lie
    A Poetic Conversation From A
    A Negro Cemetery
    From, The Coon River Anthology
    by Squeeky Fromm

    Whatever happened,
    It wasn’t me!
    It was that there statue
    Of Robert E. Lee!

    That there statute
    Made me draw,
    My Saturday Night
    On Johnny Law!

    De Shonte Jones
    Yeah, I heard that!
    Let’s keep it real!
    That there statute
    Made me “deal”!

    A Brother wanted
    His crack for free,
    Sooo, he shot me dead!
    Damn General Lee!

    Shaneeka Wilson
    T’was old Marse Robert
    That Rebel Baddie!
    Who made me have
    Six baby daddies!

    Then one of them,
    I took to court.
    Shot me dead,
    Over child support.

    Takonnawonda Jefferson
    It was General Lee
    Upon his horse,
    Who made me take
    Those drugs, of course.

    I overdosed
    At twenty-three.
    All because of
    General Lee.

    Twi-Neshia Jones
    Robert E. Lee
    Made me a ho.
    I used to sell
    My self for blow.

    One down-low dude
    With HIV.
    Now, I’m laid low,
    By Robert E. Lee.

    Demarianna White
    I died before
    My sixth birthday
    Drive-by bangers
    Blew me away.

    I never learned
    Any history.
    But I guess I’m dead
    ‘Cause of Robert E. Lee.

    Someone, in a Chariot
    Here, you lie. . .
    And here you’ll stay.
    Except for the Child,
    I’ll carry away.

    Here, you lie!
    It’s plain to see.
    Not blaming yourselves,
    But, Robert E. Lee.

    Tearing down statures fits right in with the tearing down of every single thing that is America. It is simply another logical step in the direction of Total Chaos, which happens to be the Final Destination. There is nothing being built in America anymore, heck we cannot even maintain the structures that we have nor the institutions either for that matter. And it is so appropriate that Cory Booker lead the charge against anything and everything. First the push to legalize weed not only in New Jersey, but in the whole country. Not to demean or even question the value of toking up, but as I have questioned before, is it really going to make things better, make the American public more involved by encouraging them to get stoned? Ah Cory, out of the ashes of Sharp James you rise to lead the effort to extend the joys and wonders of Newark, New Jersey to all the land. Yep, collapse is not only inevitable, but it had better hurry up and get here while there still is something of a system left to actually collapse.

    • seawolf77 August 18, 2017 at 11:20 am #

      As opposed to getting sloshed? Marijuana is a derisive term. The plant is called cannabis and it has numerous medicinal benefits. It will make the lives of millions of people better, people who are ill with glaucoma, epilepsy, cancer, MS and a host of other diseases. I challenge you to come up with any single thing with more obvious and provable benefits that we can do? I can. Make tobacco and alcohol illegal.

      • DA August 18, 2017 at 11:43 am #

        I have to agree. At the very least, cannabis is a much safer intoxicant than alcohol.

        But it’s all about the money now. If it can be successfully turned into a sufficiently lucrative corporate cash/ Fed tax revenue cow, it will be adopted. Trouble is, it’s in direct competition with the already established and tremendously lucrative Narco Police State and Prison Industrial Complex, so my guess is it won’t be widely legalized at the Federal level. Its current selectively enforced ambiguous legal state benefits everyone involved.

        • Walter B August 18, 2017 at 1:27 pm #

          You are correct, the cannot allow legalization to negatively affect the cash cow of Search & Seizure. My bet is that once again they will play both sides of the deal and leave the door open for the Feds and interstate LE to still jump out of the bushes and declare “Stand and Deliver” at state lines. There is far too much cash brought in to go full national even though the Man From Newark would love to see it happen.

      • beantownbill. August 18, 2017 at 11:48 am #

        All you guys are missing the point wrt drugs. We do not have to justify the legalization of pot. We have the right to put whatever we want into our bodies, so long as we do no harm to others. In that light, I’d institute very harsh penalties for operating under the influence of any drug because of the possibility of causing harm to others. When I had my recent hernia surgery, my doctor very sternly told me to not drive as long as I was taking pain medication.

        • Squeeky Fromm Girl Reporter August 18, 2017 at 12:07 pm #

          Yeah, because when you put heroin into your bodies, your neighbors won’t be affected at all! Oh no, the addicts won’t steal your stuff, and break into your house, or commit crimes, or poop and tinkle in public.

          Oh no, drug addicts are regular upstanding members of society. Man, I think most libertarians are just dope fiends. Because you know, being stoned on a regular basis is going to work out sooo well in a modern technological society.

            You know, you seem to call names a lot, but you really don’t seem able to present any cogent points in rebuttal.

            You should examine the reason why you are so bereft of good arguments, and have to resort to name calling and canards. Let me help you on your journey!

            First, you probably aren’t very smart. Second, you probably lack the mental capacity to think new thoughts. Third, you probably prefer virtue signalling to actually doing the hard work of examining issues.

            Fourth, you have probably been hanging around Liberal Democratic echo chambers so long, that you have become more of a cultist, then an independent thinker, As a result, you promulgate phraseology in lieu of argumentation. You seem to be like a Christian, who spouts off “blood of Christ!” “Holy Trinity!” and “Original Sin!”, yet can not rationally discuss the issues at hand.

            In fact, the whole “White Privilege” argument is nothing but a re-write of the Original Sin doctrine.

            A lot of the problems with drugs comes about because their illegality drives up the price to ridiculous levels, forcing the worst of the users to commit crimes to pay for their addictions.

            Years ago, I had a techie roommate who got stoned every morning before going to work; he was very successful in his job.

            I don’t approve of ingesting drugs of any kind, but many people function reasonably well on drugs. I’ve known many drunks who were quite productive, and you’d never know they were drunks by looking at them.

            How many “normal” people are mentally diminished by being on prescription drugs?

            Sure, some asshole addicts shit and tinkle in places they shouldn’t, but it takes all kinds to make a society. If one of them did it on my lawn, I’d beat the crap outta them and they’d probably never do it again.

        You guys are missing my point, I could care less about what people do for sport, it is their business. I am in a situation in my community where no one cares about anything, no one does anything for the community, and less tan 10 people out of 4,100 do anything at all for the Township. If getting high is going to increase the number of people that get involved, who care, who DO something every once and a while, I’ll even buy them the weed myself!

        As far as generating more tax dollars for the politicians in Trenton, are any of you going to even TRY to tell me that handing a politician more money ever solved ANY problems? Need I say Transportation Trust Fund, or State Pension Fund, or Atlantic City Gambling Income?

        These are my points, nothing else.

      • PostPeakRancher August 18, 2017 at 1:29 pm #

        I agree with you on cannabis. And I think there’s a case to be made for outlawing tobacco. I don’t think you’d get major drug gangs slangin’ golden leaf, but there could be quite an uproar.. I disagree about banning alcohol. We tried it before and it was a disaster.

        Besides there is a great cultural and culinary history tied to the many wonderful alcoholic beverages. I think the problem with alcohol in the US is this perverse culture of binge drinking and getting totally wasted. That coupled with mass motoring creates unnecessary carnage and loss of life. Not to mention other health care issues related to excessive drinking and alcoholism. That culture is what needs to be fixed. Otherwise you would just turn booze into an underground, illicit drug that people continue to get smashed on and drive drunk.

        • seawolf77 August 18, 2017 at 1:38 pm #

          Actually Prohibition was a great success. The Teetotaler movement was allegedly Rockefeller funded to get rid of alcohol as an alternative fuel. The Model T has a switch that you could turn to burn gasoline or alcohol. The only way you could drive across the country was buying alcohol off farmers. When FDR repealed it, there was a gas station on every corner. As far as its success with alcohol prohibition, yes it was a disaster.

            It is also very true that the Kennedy mafia and the Rockefellers made marijuana, opium, and other natural narcotics illegal because they were cutting into their alcohol-based rackets.

      Walter, taking down statues is an unsubtle metaphor for the tearing down of our society. No question that an attempt is being made to deconstruct our way of life, but that outcome is questionable. We’ll see. In the meantime, enjoy yourself; who knows how long we’ll be able to.

      • seawolf77 August 18, 2017 at 12:21 pm #

        It is absolutely not. You cannot wink wink nod nod when it comes to this stuff. No equivocation please. Slavery was an abomination. Period. Tearing down those statues gets us further away from slavery. Don’t tear them down, blow them up.

          Now, did anything happen when you did that? I am betting not. I am betting there was no effect at all on our country. Because that was over, a 150+ years ago. It’s pretty much irrelevant. Except to stupid virtue signalers.

          Plus, assume for a minute that you’re black. God grants you a wish, but it’s restricted to two choices:

          1. You can undo via a miracle your great great great great grandpappy and grandmother being sold as slaves from Africa to America;

          2. You can leave things as they are.

          Which would you choose? Which do you think most black Americans would choose?

            You don’t “respond” to anything. You just call names, smear people, and priss around like you know what you are talking about.

            But you apparently don’t have enough mental capacity to form and argument, and then support it. But that shouldn’t stop you from trying. Maybe you could become a debater! Like these guys, who you remind me a lot of, stylistically speaking:

            You would fit right in! But concentrate on that kind of stuff and leave the debating and arguing to the grown ups, OK??? Because trust me, you have no future there unless you maybe go to Towson and find whatever teacher the winners had, and beg him/her/it to take you on, kind of like Dr. Doolittle took on Mary Poppins in My Fair Lady.

        Indeed it is. We are following the example set by ISIS or whatever it is they call themselves today. Destroy history. Remove everything that reminded the masses of what their forbearers went through to get here and replace it with a New World Order. Yes, concentrate their attention on the contents of their underpants or what new form of buzz can be had next, or a shiny new techno-bauble and they will forget how hard they are being screwed by the sellouts that pretend to “govern” them. It is all working well and the pace of success is quickening. Quickening, I’ve heard that phrase before. (In the end there can be only One)

        It seems a little bit ludicrous to me that a new uproar is being fomented over a system of abuse that was abolished over one hundred and fifty years ago and that at a great cost in human life. Of well, who gives a shit anyway? It is all about ME, the center of the universe and MY emotions, right? If we keep ourselves busy tearing shit down we won’t have to be bothered with building anything up now will we? Chaos, yeah, what a concept!

    • Sean Coleman August 18, 2017 at 12:22 pm #

      Irish writer Desmond Fennell sees the American (or ‘Ameropean’) project as the latest attempt to bring about Utopia. These all followed the Enlightenment, starting with the American Revolution (Pt 1 – Non-Europe) and followed by the French Revolution (rational metric system, Year 1 of the Revolution and the Cult of Reason, with prostitutes desecrating altars). Then came the National Socialist and the Soviet Communist attempts. All failures

      I read Platonov’s The Foundation Pit fairly recently. It is written in an odd, stylized way but the translator’s introduction explains that he was some kind of an agricultural inspector during Collectivization and that everything the book happened in some way in real life. The bit that caught my eye is where the translator says that the dreamlike (I think) quality of the writing is connected to the fact that the events of those years are scarcely believable.

      I wonder when JHK began to realize that the wind-down would be accompanied by insanity.

      • Sean Coleman August 18, 2017 at 12:36 pm #

        Fennell does not mention Mao’s China, I suppose because it was peripheral despite its size. It had its own share of craziness, what with the war on sparrows, made-up statistics and the Cultural Revolution.

        Or Cambodia. (Two years ago a Guardian editorial compared, in all seriousness, the late disc jockey Jimmy Savile with Pol Pot in terms of Pure Evil and aired the possibility of digging up his body (like Cromwell’s) as a vent for popular anger before conceding that maybe there might be a better way after all (at least I think it conceded it as it isn’t made clear).

      • thebelltolls August 19, 2017 at 11:06 am #

        Hi Sean. Long-time reader of Kunstler, though stopped reading regularly a few years ago. When I started back up last year I found myself always searching for your comments. I would love a reading list at some point, if you ever felt like sharing. Cheers.

        • Sean Coleman August 19, 2017 at 3:28 pm #

          Thanks, assuming this is not a wind-up. My ideas have changed quite a lot just in the last two or three years but I have always been very sceptical of the progressive agenda as it came in while I was at school. What I write might be interesting (because I have come across some very interesting writers) but as to it being in any way wise forget it. Here’s a short list.

          Raymond Crotty: Ireland in Crisis (1986) and the posthumous When Histories Collide, which covers much the same ground. Self-taught farmer, economist and historian and international agricultural adviser. I think he was entirely original, which is almost scary. He is also the reason we get a chance in Ireland to have a referendum about constitutional issues (not that it has done us any good). An American reviewer of When Histories Collide described it as an original and exciting theory of civilization, which is about right.

          Desmond Fennell: The Postwestern Condition (short). Fennell spotted the changes very early. He visited Sweden and the USSR at the start of the 60s, when the bright young people of the former were drawing up their utopia. He has been living in Italy for years now but is surely still remembered with disgust by many.

          John Waters: yet another Irish writer. All of his books really, including The Intelligent. He was forced out of the opinion forming Irish Times following ‘Pantigate’ just before the Marriage Equality referendum a year or two ago. Lapsed Agnostic and Beyond Consolation are also excellent. This almost exhausts what is worth reading from Ireland but makes up for it in quality.

          Christopher Booker The Real Global Warming Disaster (c2009)

          C. Booker and Richard North: Scared To Death, an earlier book (2007?) about the main scares of recent years including AGW, asbestos, passive smoking, BSE, satanic abuse and lead in petrol. See the common characteristics. I haven’t finished reading it yet.

          C. Booker: The Neophiliacs (1969), this precocious work is available second hand only. Looks at the rise of the swinging sixties in London following the events. Probably of interest only in England and probably could not be understood by anyone under the age of, er, 59. A journalist and Jungian scholar he analyses it using a five-stage ‘fantasy cycle’, possibly of his own devising. This insight is stunning: the whole thing was (and still is) a giant fantasy.

          Peter Hitchens: The Abolition of Britain. I don’t think it is possible to understand what happened in Britain without this superb account by the Hated Peter Hitchens, as he is officially known. It was only second time reading it that it hit me. This often happens with the best books. I think it is a masterpiece but he just concedes that it is ‘quite good’. The War We Never Fought about the phoney war on drugs is excellent too, as are all of them, but they might be too Anglocentric for an American reader. His website is Required Reading for anyone on this side of the Atlantic but I don’t know what an American would make of it.

          Dorothy Rowe: Beyond Fear and a few others. Australian psychologist with, it seems, conventional progressive views. I haven’t fully read any of her books but they are most valuable for her insights about introverts and extraverts (her spelling, and Jung’s translator), the most important being that every couple consists of one of either. I read this ten years ago and more and have become blasé about the fact that it is true. Either me and her are deluded or everyone else is. As Homer Simpson would say, what could possibly go wrong?

          Richard Webster: The Secret of Bryn Estyn (c2003?) about the witch hunt in the North Wales children’s home of that name. Old-fashioned (looks at facts) English (naturally sceptical) journalist. This long book takes the whole story apart, from the social worker’s initial complaints (without wising to be libellous let’s just say that they were increasingly far-fetched) through the whole deranged ramifications. It didn’t do much good to poor Inspector Anglesea though as he was locked up a few months ago and died behind bars. His Sceptical Essays website is Required Reading. Someone is doing a public service by keeping him going. Webster describes the odd phenomenon in which people lose their reason in witch hunts better than anyone. If he can see it then why can’t others? He comes to the same conclusion, it seems, that Booker does about our collective understanding being a mass fantasy, in which the media play the main role. (His online two-part The Flat Earth News article is Required Reading.) After reading Webster I decided to keep an eye out for the next big abuse witch hunt. It never occurred to me to look at the Jimmy Savile case. Why? The mind works in mysterious ways. (Interestingly Booker doesn’t seem to have cottoned on that the Savile story is bunk, obviously a witch hunt that is too big to fail.)

          For Ireland the required website is Rory Connor’s Irish Salem. Any ordinary man who somehow saw what few others did, did some research and proved it. I learnt the other day he is writing a book which I will definitely buy, if he can get it published. The Irish re-writing of history in the last decade or two is extraordinary. I like his account of how the Reynolds govt was brought down about twenty years ago following public hysteria about Opus Dei (not joking).

          Pio Moa Rodriguez: Los Mitos Della Guerra Civil and Los Mitos Del Franquimo. Nobody will translate them into English, or any language. A frontal assault on conventional progressive history which appears to be, at least as far as Spain is concerned, pure, er what’s the word again?

          Karl Polanyi: The Great Transformation.

          Milan Kundera: Le Rideau (I am sure there is an English translation). Short book based on a series of lectures about what the novel is. It was after I’d read this for the second or third time that I read Don Quixote.. Peter Motte’s 17C translation is superb (it was used in the cheap paperback I bought to help me understand the Icelandic translation), conveying well his comical delusions. (“They looked at the knight in astonishment…”)

          This just gives you the books that you might not have heard of. There are plenty of others but they would not be as important as regards what I now consider to be important. Actually one of them would be Polanyi: I don’t know why I included him above. Most of what I read is in foreign languages which I am battling (not very wholeheartedly) as an obsession although you do learn a few odd things. For example, two of the funniest books I have ever read (So Suess War Suleyken by Lenz and Grass’s Der Blechtrommel) were written by Germans and by men you would never think had a sense of humour. (Maybe they are not meant to be amusing?)

        • Sean Coleman August 19, 2017 at 3:34 pm #

          I missed out The Science Delusion by Rupert Sheldrake (I was so pleased he mentioned Dunn’s classic An Experiment With Time). And sticking with science, William Bates’ classic about vision and glasses.

    Yes, the forthcoming solar eclipse is a metaphor for the eclipsing of the existing American culture. But using the eclipse as a metaphor diminishes the beauty, power and awe of the event. Whatever time we have left in this life ought to be spent, at least in part,, in experiencing the ultimate glory of the cosmos. To not contemplate and appreciate the infinitude of the universe is a misuse of one’s life.

    Another chicken-little dissembler. Most all of these statues were installed during Jim Crow era after the Supreme Court overturned the Civil Rights act, aka legalized racism, so the Confederates could get pay some pay-back for their loss.

    The Confederates couldn’t own or trade humans anymore but at least they didn’t have to associate with them and keep them uneducated and use as cheap labor. Let’s call them what they were–traitors–to the Founders and principles under which the country was organized. Jim Crow was a mistake and the statues honoring traitors and racism was a mistake. Besides, from a strictly military view General Lee
    was a terrible leader that made fatal strategic and tactical errors that accelerated the loss for the Confederates. Lee would not want a statue in his “honor” and expressed these sentiments himself.

    We’re trying to keep together a diverse society with laws applied equally to all. Tearing down concrete and bronze images installed in honor of traitors bent on racism and slavery is an improvement.

    You want a exclusive society of racists? Go form your own country. I think land in Africa is still cheap.

          That was a very racist statement yourself my friend for just because a person calls themselves “Christian” does not mean that they actually are. Just because someone calls another a racist, it does not mean that they are either. I understand that casting aspersions is the new national pastime but playing that game does not make baseless accusations the Truth.

            I hear you B man. But you have to go to the root of the problem, and fundamentally slavery was the work of the Vatican and the Jesuits. Lincoln himself said this himself; the Civil War was Vatican based. Remember the plantation owner in “Twelve Years a Slave” reading passages from the Bible to the slaves. Only white popes. Ever take a look at the College of Cardinals? Bunch of old white guys mostly. Money is not the root of all evil. Religion is. Especially the wholly Roman Catholic Church.

            You just said she was the great harlot. If you don’t remember, just scroll up!

            Btw, you’re not completely wrong. In the Third Secret of Fatima, which was supposed to be revealed in 1960, the Virgin Mary predicted the Church would become the abode of the Anti-Christ because of a Bad Council (Vatican Two), a Bad Mass (the Novus Ordo) and Impurity (Homosexuality). That the Fish would rot from the Head. Needless to say, the Popes disobeyed Her Command and never released the secret. They preferred their big, globalist plans and didn’t want to offend the increasingly powerful Gay Cult either.

      Marcus,
      It is entirely superficial, and virtue-signaling at it’s worst. The vast majority of those demanding that statues be removed did not know who the statues represented, nor why they should even be concerned, before some Marxist asshole whispered their spin into ignorant, impressionable ears.

    Given that the Republicans nominated Trump we can say that their party has one last swirl before the drain-pipe.

    That Democrats are all about maintaining Oligarch (that is to say White) privilege while loudly proclaiming the opposite ought to be obvious even to the thickest head.

    It isn’t astounding that Democrats managed to con Black Democrats into contributing to the Oligarch cause. After all, White Democrats sold out White fly-over America for the benefit of Oligarch wealth. So did White Republicans. Black Democrats are doing the same thing: they’re selling out their own.

    All this bullshit about Confederate statues is only because the hoo-haw about bathrooms ran its course and they need a new smokescreen. So for now it’s statues. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

    On another site, the question was asked: “Who is winning, the Alt-Left or the Alt Right.”

    I answered, the Alt-Left (better known as Antifa – the vast majority of whom are white). As Charlottesville showed, there is no way that the Alt Right will ever get a fair hearing in the mainstream press. From what I’ve read, the Alt Right, which had a permit, was engaged in peaceful protest until they were attacked by Antifa, which did not. They had bags of urine and feces thrown at them, and were sprayed with pepper spray. All the while, the many police assigned there had been told (by someone) to stand down and let the riot happen. If the police had done their job, perhaps that unfortunate young woman would be alive today. You won’t read any of that in the mainstream press.

    All the politicians (save Trump and a few others), plus all of the political shows (Carlson and Hannity are rare exceptions), are in bed with those who want to destroy the USA. Most white politicians, wearing their ridiculous American flag pins, are too stupid to even realize they are siding with those who will execute them if given the chance.

    So, ultimately the Alt Right will be defeated, and with it the USA, the last hope of the White Race in the West. After Trump is impeached, at least by standing up to the press and refusing their catcalls to throw the whites at Charlottesville under the bus; and by condemning those true racists who are destroying our heritage and tearing down all the fine statues dedicated to dead white men, I say the following: This has been Trump’s Finest Hour!

        • Janos Skorenzy August 18, 2017 at 9:12 pm #

          I don’t know too much about the whys and wherefores, but Baptists have clung on to the old Protestant hatred of Catholics more than any other sect. Maybe because they’re the most rural and traditional? Not all of them of course, certainly not the division Jimmy Carter belongs to.

          Interestingly enough, the Seventh Day Adventists as well. They’ve reprinted some old books of Slander – some of this stuff goes right back to the master Smear Artists of Henry the 8th and those who came after.

            Janos,
            I didn’t know that about Hannity as I don’t watch him and cannot stand him. He was always a war-first Neocon, but jumped on the Trump train when he saw that Trump would win the nomination. Carlson, on the other hand, seems to be a true anti-war traditional conservative. That’s why I think the Murdoch boys would like to get rid of him, but maybe his ratings are too high.

    We give children symbols to manipulate as a rehearsal for adult life. They get a steady diet of toys and fables presumably to teach them about how real life should work. At some point in the process of maturation, young people should abandon symbols for the real thing. Recently it seems the real thing is scary enough to cause adult people to revert to an infantile obsession with symbols. Economies are explained in terms of money or credit. Contentment is the accumulation of plastic artifacts imported by the container load from low wage manufacturing havens. One can feel powerful by pushing your toe against the accelerator pedal of a V-8 powered transportation appliance. All of this is constructed on the notion that if you can finance it, you’re entitled to it.

    Now if life isn’t going your way it must be the fault of some symbol. Therefore, the only way to reverse the trend is to attack the offending symbol. What you’re left with is a symbolic victory. EROEI continues to slide and along with it the physical economy of things and the movement of things. The great god of growth has feet of clay but we’re not having it. The only obvious recourse is to throw a temper tantrum and give that lump of bronze the thrashing it deserves. It has the added bonus of simultaneously defeating that other group of people who worship that symbol. Except that it doesn’t.

    The human brain is a pattern seeking/pattern generating organic neural processor. It observes its environment and then creates a mental map of what it observes. It’s constantly projecting that map as it looks for food to stuff down its assigned gullet and locate a complimentary set of genitals with which to make copies of itself. The system works pretty good so long as there’s a balance between available resources and its reproductive capacity. But along comes exosomatic energy and that mental map evolves to expect an enormous reproductive subsidy. The evolutionary process has taken a couple of centuries. By geological standards a blink of an eye. In fact it has been almost too rapid for human brains to assimilate. We’ve had to invent a pantheon of new symbols just to cope. However, the ride up does not resemble the ride down. We’re confronted with Seneca’s Cliff armed with a map that only goes up. What we need is exactly what we don’t have, namely, a couple of centuries or so to adapt to the new environment. The emergency requires immediate action, so we must act. Obviously, the fault lies in bad symbols or the people who brandish them.

      Great post! I trust you have perused Man and His Symbols by Jung. If not, they are cheap on Abebooks.

      IMHO, we are also seeing a pandemic of puer aeternus, where the desire for the fantasy has temporarily over ridden the usual fear of commitment. Aging hippies, and their younger proteges are bound and determined to live in that fantasy world where they can paly the Great White Savior to the poor dark skinned folks, sitting in darkness.

    Because if it was just a war to end slavery, For the price of the Civil war, the Federals could have bought every slave in the South and spared the massive destruction and loss of life…?

      What a joke to think that the North was fighting to end slavery. Back then whites were much more prejudiced than today. Even Lincoln had said they were inferior. If the Northern troops were told that they were fighting to free black slaves, they would have all deserted and gone home, taking their rifles with them.

    Last year a middle school teacher in Berkeley punches a “neo Nazi” during a protest and claims standing up to fascism isn’t a crime.

    Violence from the Left throughout the campaign.

    Anti Trump campaigner shoots Republican neighbor twice in the head.

    Ben Carson’s home is vandalized with anti Trump graffiti.

    An 18 year old student who went to Charlottesville is forced to leave Boston University because of death threats.

    Right wing speakers are not allowed first amendment rights all across the nation, the latest being Richard Spencer denied free speech at Michigan State U.

    Black state senator Maria Chappelle Nadal says that she hopes for Trump’s assassination.

    And of course we’ve had Kathy Griffin’s decapitation Of Trump, his staged killing in Central Park, de Niro wanting to punch him in the face, Madonna thinking of blowing up the White House, Depp speaking of an actor assassinating the President, and on and on.

    A dark wind is rising and blowing across the nation. The nation is cracking like a parched desert landscape. Big changes seem to be much more imminent, bottled up changes, seeking release.
    The list of monuments to be removed is growing exponentially.

    Last night, Tucker Carlson suggested that according to the logic of the Left, even the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution themselves could become targets for removal.

    A dark wind indeed. The history and the very foundation of our nation is under siege.

    • outsider August 18, 2017 at 2:49 pm #

      Tucson,
      Tucker’s show is the only one I watch. Unlike the rest of them at FOX he is anti-war, and has had Stephen Cohen and Tulsi Gabbard on his show several times. He’s had neocons like Ralph Peters and Max Boot as guests, and made mincemeat out of them. He’s repeatedly said that this Russian election hacking hysteria is all bullshit.

      On Wednesday night he even came to the defense of the Daily Stormer, whose site was shut down by the Thought Police. I hope he’s not fired by Murdoch’s squshy sons (they dumped O’Reilly in a hot minute). Even though Tucker made a strong defense of Daily Stormer based on First Amendment principles, they might still think that’s a bridge too far.

      The danger has always been from the Left. The Right is far too divided – the Christians most of all. But the Left! It’s a machine.

        Could I wish for such mayhem, could anyone? I have to say yes.

        I don’t like the unsettledness of things, the infernal, on going tensions, the lingering doubt about the outcome of things.

        Sometimes things reach a point where there is no alternative. The decision is first made “outside” of one’s self, the hand is forced. Then the answer is an easy yes.

        Right now? It’s kind of the opposite. It’s not an easy no, but a no nonetheless. Right now.

            Here’s a few interesting tidbits of Emma Lazarus’ homage to Open Borders: “The New Colossus.”

            1886 – The Statue of Liberty was unveiled.

            1903 – Lazurus’ poem was placed on a bronze plaque INSIDE the statue. (So how many really saw it?)

            1945 – The plaque was moved from the interior of the statue to its main entrance. (Those were heady times right after we won the Big One.)

            Given that the plaque did not come with the statue, I say that, while statues of dead white men are being removed and destroyed, its high time to take a blow torch to that horrid poem that has done much damage to this country.

    As a white male born in the state of North Carolina to a family that has roots reaching back to and beyond the Civil War, I could give a damn if they keep the monuments up or not.

    I can’t stand the argument that taking them down is “erasing history”. No one on that side of the argument is talking about erasing history. They don’t want certain elements celebrated while ignoring the historical context. The monuments celebrate historical confederate persons in a very narrow sense. If anything, the nation as a whole has failed miserably to teach the vast majority of later generations the actual history of the civil war and its causes.

    As with most things concerning the confederacy and its history here in the south, very critical aspects are ignored while others are celebrated. The most obvious example being “state’s rights”. They ignore what rights the states were defending, namely the right to hold persons as property. The state’s right to defend and protect the institution of slavery. This along with other rights to address grievances (not enforcing the fugitive slave act, etc) with the union were clearly laid out in the “Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union” (http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_scarsec.asp) and every other confederate state’s articles of confederation.

    So tear the monuments down, keep them up, I don’t really care…it won’t really make a difference. Maybe if we kept them up and added new plaques underneath that clearly explained what these men fought for…and provided further reading…maybe that would be a better solution. I can imagine quite an uproar from the neo-confed corners of society if we dared to attempt something like that.

    • libertysghost August 18, 2017 at 1:42 pm #

      But since we are talking about all the causes, the south was to be chattel to the northern textile mill owners and banks and the war was in part a reaction to many economic forces at play in that regard.

      My point isn’t to totally disregard your points either. And Lincoln gave a flying FU(% about blacks or slaves as well. College students “in the north” have no idea that was the case…I know this from experience in grading research papers claiming such idiotic things as “Lincoln and (Frederick) Douglass shared a lifelong passion for ending slavery” when of course the only records of Lincoln saying anything about ending slavery only come roughly two years prior to the end of the war when it became politically useful to claim so. Prior, and instead, we have Lincoln saying such things as (and I paraphrase) “I would prefer to not free one slave if I can maintain the Union in the process” (from his Peoria speech).

      But I digress. “Commemorations” do matter when it comes to a “national identity” if one thinks having a national identity is preferable to the competing alternatives of the time. And many times they are…many times they aren’t…depending on the context of the “nation” one is in and the interests behind the promotion of either and all of the competing identities.

      So to just say that these removals don’t matter and anyone who thinks they do is ignoring the “context”, neglects the very important context of the reasons behind their removal and the people/groups/interests financing and organizing the campaigns to do so. They and their motives are not pure. You need only look at what chaos they have manifested over the last few decades to have that context.

      And aside…you can state the “Articles” and other official “southern” statements prior to the Civil War as “context” noting the importance the writers put on the slavery issue…and you aren’t wrong to do so.
      But how many actual southern soldiers owned any slaves? Hardly any as a slave wasn’t cheap either to buy or keep. Was owning slaves their motivation? Maybe/kinds? Were they afraid the free slaves would steal their jobs or drive down their earnings through competition? Where they being manipulated by TPTB to die for a cause that really wasn’t in their interest? Very likely.

      But Lincoln and his bedfellows used the slaves to have a war to centralize power. Are they any better than their competition in the South in that context? Northern power-brokers weren’t putting others out there to die to save any black people…you know that. But they “won” so memorializing them is “fair” or should we first make sure a certain % of the population understands the entire context for all of this prior to replacing any of these fallen statues with new idols?

      The history isn’t just the history of the people that became statues. It’s the history of why this particular nation chose to give them their memorials and how that “fight” also became something we pretend to be proud of…fighting whether we are wrong or right. So it’s tough to square it all when you see so many “wars” going on literally and culturally in this nation based on bad context, poor historical representations and bogus claims of “moral authority” or “righteousness”. Wouldn’t you agree?

      I worry that this the “war” that is this whole issue…the “culture war” being played out…will be a huge loss for those in general if the statue haters win and become even more emboldened with their authoritarian views and narrow opinions of “virtue”.

    The Clinton Foundation….

    “The scandal surrounding former DNC Chair and current Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) and her former computer tech intensified when Imran Awan was indicted on four counts Thursday.

    Conservatives and Republicans have been following the case closely and speculated on the odd details so far known.

    Amran was arrested by the FBI and Capitol Police as he tried to flee the country via a flight at Dulles International Airport. Thursday he was indicted on four counts including bank fraud, and giving a false statement to authorities.

    His wife, Hina Alvi, was also included in the indictment. Awan was at the center of a criminal probe over breaches of security at the House of Representatives. Even though news of his allegedly illegal acts had been publicized months before his arrest, Schultz only fired him after he was caught, fueling speculation that there was more to the story.

    Some members of the Democratic National Committee have distanced themselves from Wasserman Schultz. Progressive DNC member Nikki Barnes was especially outspoken in her criticism of the former DNC chair.

    “This adds to Debbie being rebranded as the Democrats’ disastrous destruction,” Barnes said. “Those of us on the DNC know we have to rebrand ourselves and earn the people’s trust. And unfortunately Debbie’s name does not scream trust.”

    “It screams power,” she continued. “It screams limited access. It screams WikiLeaks now. DNC lawsuit. It screams a lot of negative things to the public. That’s not how we want to rebrand ourselves.”

    This website has devolved from a place where people who read books can get together and exchange ideas, to a place where neo nazis control the dialogue through their offensive posts. It might just as well be an offshoot of the daily stormer. These people have controlled the direction of discussion to the point where the only subject on here has to do with fascism. In other words, they have accomplished their goal of pushing this shit in your face, and making it the focus of this website. All that happens when you discuss these subjects with the right wing pricks who have congregated here since the election of “The Donald”, has given some form of credibility to their arguments in favor of Fascism. They need to be treated like any other internet Trolls, and not responded to. Any response given to them only furthers their goals of making this shit acceptable for public discussion. It is difficult to resist the impulse to respond to their statements, but that’s what needs to happen, unless JHK (Who owns this website) decides to exercise control over what is going on here, and curtails the bullshit that is posted here. The nazis count on the fact that there is such a thing as free speech, and take advantage of the opportunities presented to them. It is everybody’s right to say what you want, but that doesn’t mean that everybody else is obligated to listen to it. There is also the right to ignore whatever bullshit other people put out. “Forge thy tongue on an anvil of truth, and what flies up, though it be but a spark, will have weight”.

    It amazes me. All the racial and political rhetoric. When are all of us going to realize that this is much bigger than Dems vs. GOP or Black vs. White. Who benefits from this discord? Who wants America to tear itself apart? Who is paying $25/hr for protestors and now agitators to go to innumerable hot spots and spark unrest. One name stands out. But he is one of a number of globalist elites who are using all of us to forward their goals of world domination. Where does income inequality lead us? The elites vs. the serfs.

    How America became a Victim of its own Propaganda

    The phrase “to become a victim of its own propaganda” translates into Russian as “To believe one’s own lies”, but from the philosophical point of view to lie to oneself.

    This problem is gradually being brought to the forefront not only in the United States, but also on a global scale.

    The most striking example of the Americanization of human consciousness is the so-called the “Gauge theory” of theoretical physics, which began as a truly American contribution to world science, similar to the pop art of Leo Castelli, gradually becoming a universal principle of constructing a fundamental theory in physics, as a result of which the development of physics and mathematics simply stopped cold.

    Personally, I knew only few people who understood the Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, which is in antagonistic conflict with the “Gauge theory”: Andrei Sakharov, John Nash and Grigori Perelman. Now Perelman seems to be left alone and even that one left Russia.

    And if Weinberg and Leo Castelli understood that they were engaged precisely in the Americanization of science, then their current followers have already forgotten about this and for them the Gauge Theory is a firmly established scientific fact, and pop art is part of abstract expressionism.

    Similarly, modern economists who rejected Marx do not remember that Keynesianism as the basis of modern capitalism is an attempt to save capitalism from itself on the basis of Marx’s theory, according to which this economic system – capitalism – is suicidal (the theory of the General Crisis of Capitalism).

    But the most malicious out of these attempts to “Americanize” the consciousness of mankind is the Theory of Moral Equivalence, or rather the theory of its denial, according to which moral norms are not the same for all mankind.

    This theory is a kind of product of a distorted dualism that paradoxically won in Europe in the 13th and 14th centuries as a result of the struggle with the dualism of the Catholic Church and according to which there are peoples that are Sons of Light and there are peoples being the Sons of Darkness, and the aggression of the Sons of Light against the Sons of Darkness is NOT Aggression, but defense. Moreover, the Sons of Light can commit terrible atrocities against the Sons of Darkness and at the same time remain “good guys”, and the Sons of Darkness can show nobility and kindness as much as they like, they will still be “bad guys”.

    Initially, the US applied this principle to its foreign policy, but Donald Trump just became the victim of it.

    He argues that the actions of those who protest against the demolition of the monuments to the Confederates must be evaluated according to the same moral principles as those who attack them, and the fact that alt-right have been given permission to their demonstration and they broke no laws until they were attacked by AntiFa, who didn’t have the permit, while Trump’s opponents demanded that he recognize the alt-right initially guilty, on the grounds that they were joined by costumed racists and Soros-hired extras dressed as neo-Nazis.

    And in response to his objections, they roll their eyes and menacingly ask if he talks about the moral equivalence of fighters against racism and neo-Nazis. Naturally, a normal American who has long forgotten the significance of this masterpiece of anti-Soviet propaganda is startled by this phrase just as he shuddered 40 years ago from the moral equivalence of the USSR and NATO, and more recently from the moral equivalence of Putin’s Russia and the US, which the US presidential candidate Donald Trump proclaimed during the televised debates.

    • DA August 18, 2017 at 5:01 pm #

      Nice! I notice that the term “neo-Nazi” has now become an all-purpose label to be applied liberally to whomever the liberal leftards are demonizing at any given moment; apparently not realizing that in so doing they’re merely watering down whatever meaning it once had to utter irrelevance and converting it to a mere epithet and conversation stopper. Yes, America’s own propaganda, perfected during the Cold War and bolstered by a pitifully and by design inadequate educational system, has turned modern day Americans into little more than pathetic regurgitators of their masters’ mendacious propagandist shit. Truly an epic shit storm in the making!

    At one time the Statue was the Light of the World, its symbolism and meaning revered just about everywhere.

    To call Her the Whore of the Harbor now, after decades and decades of disastrous immigration policies crafted by politicians with agendas, is simply lame and misguided.

    Make yourselves happy dimwits, hurl eggs and tomatoes at her. Tear Her down if you will. I’m sure that will make Her stop the inimical influx.

    • Walter B August 19, 2017 at 6:36 pm #

      Sorry TS but in the Great Age of immigration those who were welcomed in all happened to turn out to be highly motivated, hard workers who gladly assimilated into the American culture and quickly not only became gainfully employed but actually built America into the Greatness that she one had.

      As the nation grew and the situation changed Lady Liberty has not only lowered her standards, but her pimps, the sellout politicians and corporate masters who own them have turned her from being the Mother of a nation girl to a backstreet tramp. No hard feeling though, I think that the state of what our nation has become deserves a new, lower class bimbo, don’t you?

    Hey Squeaky Fromm,

    how much money would you need to be paid in order to be changed into a black person and live the rest of your life as one?

    You can choose whatever amount you think you need.

    You get to keep your personality, IQ, life experiences… you even get to choose height, weight, talents, singer, sports, law, medicine…

    • Squeeky Fromm Girl Reporter August 18, 2017 at 6:16 pm #

      I am happy with who I am. If I need to become a victim, then I can just tell people I am a lesbian. How would they know? Plus, a lot of people already think I am, because of certain friendships.

      If I did catch some rare disease that turned me into a black person, I could handle it pretty easily. All I would have to do is work hard and be a decent person and I would do better than fine. All kinds of people would be anxious to hire me for their affirmative action programs. They would get a twofer, or maybe threefer. A black, a woman, and a smart, hard worker!

      I could probably get some rich white Liberal to marry me to show how tolerant he was. Plus, since I do not have a ghettopotamus a$$, he would get a twofer, too!

      The worst part to me would be losing my Caucasoid Hair. That is the one thing that I feel sorry about for black women.

        Huh??? I answered it. I don’t want to change my race. I don’t need the money. If I did need the money, I would hold out for at least $5 Million, in cash, net of taxes.

        That would be enough to live pretty much anywhere I wanted, and I would probably move to Vermont, where there are few blacks. I could invest about half of it, and use the other half to travel, buy a house, get a nice enclosed area for my cats. Etc.

        More to the point, the only real disadvantage to being black in America, is being tarred with the same brush as all the feral savage blacks. But, if you are a decent person, work hard, don’t pop out tons of illegitimate kids, speak understandable English, and obey the law, then there is nothing all that hard to being black. You just have to let white people know that you aren’t one of those blacks you see on TV looting shoe stores, and wearing their pants down around their knees.

          Illegitimate is a pejorative term invented by the Catholic Church to codify their fairy tale marriage. I myself have never seen an illegitimate child. All of them seen perfectly legitimate to me. You should refrain from proselytizing stereotypes that are not visible to the naked eye. So you admit that being black is a $5 Million dollar disadvantage. As Nazi’s go, that’s rather modest. I would have guessed you a $50 million in gold kind of Nazi.

        • Squeeky Fromm Girl Reporter August 18, 2017 at 7:35 pm #

          @seawolf

          What disadvantage, besides bad hair and white people wondering if I was going to loot, steal stuff, jack cars, and pop out illegitimate kids? I would just let the whites know that I wa once of the good ones!

          And yes, it is obvious that you don’t think being an illegitimate kid is a bad thing, because you are not very smart. Gee, how hard is it to figure out that having two parents and two incomes beats having one broke A$$ momma on various forms of welfare.

          But, you are thick headed and incapable of assimilating new thoughts, but what the heck, let’s try anyway:

          The absence of fathers is important, Obama continued, because “children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison.”

          Dr. Alvin Poussaint, a psychiatrist with Harvard Medical School and co-author with Bill Cosby of Come on People: On the Path from Victims to Victors, said Obama’s view rings true: The absence of fathers corresponds with a host of social ills, including dropping out of school and serving time in jail.

          But he said other factors such as poverty, education level and the age of parents also correlate with single motherhood and adolescent problems.

          Fag hag who won’t answer the question. Just sayin… to those who demand response, we prevaricate you.

          ***************************

          Actually, she first didn’t answer the question because she subconsciously sidestepped the question and chose to answer a different question.

          Then, when a white person called her out, she came back and answered the question; but still tried to equivocate by adding some lame addendum designed to confuse people about the nature of my question.

          Anyway, the purpose of the question is to demonstrate that white people know:

          1. What racism is.

          2. How it works.

          3. and who the victims are.

          The $5 million she requires to be a black person is an example of what THIS SPECIFIC white person thinks racism TODAY costs a black person.

          I want to thank her for her honesty (or stupidity) because most white people refuse to answer the question. Ive run this thought experiment at least 50 times and this is the first time a white person actually answered the question with a monetary amount.

          But, these white peoples inability to answer the question is possibly the most honest accurate answer because what they may be saying is that racism is so bad, so destructive, so horrifying…

          That NO AMOUNT of money could compensate for being a victim of it?

          *being a black person*

          White peoples non answer is actually saying:

          *I wouldn’t be a black person for 5 BILLION dollars because racism would destroy me*

          Thats deep

          But,

          but, probably not if you are a white person?

          Because white people know the inner workings and mechanics of racism. In other words, they know all the pathologies black people know about it, but also, all the pathologies white people know about racism.

          Squeeky Fromm says those pathologies are worth 5 million to her;

          and who knows?

          to add insult to injury,

          she may even be old fat and ugly.

          Just sayin

          • sophia August 20, 2017 at 1:35 am #

            Thwack,

            The money isn’t really because of racism. It just would be a bit uncomfortable to find oneself black, therefore some compensation is in order.

            The power elites have given orders to the media to stir the pot of racism, but I have to tell you, I don’t think there is enough racism left for it to bother blacks. Why don’t blacks just live their lives and not worry about the little bit of racism that is left?

            Now maybe I am somehow ridiculous, but I am serious. I don’t think most black people are suffering under white racism at all. Not enough to matter.

            Plenty of places all around the world have different races and religious groups living near each other and they are somewhat separate from each other by choice.

          Thwack,
          You assume that the answer identifies/monetizes racism…it may not even address racism. It may account for being identified with a culture that is violent, abusive, dysfunctional and unworthy of civilized people. I would not want to be thought of as part of that culture…nor do decent black people, for that matter…they just lost the lottery in that respect, and have to suffer for the sins of others.

        You said, “The $5 million she requires to be a black person is an example of what THIS SPECIFIC white person thinks racism TODAY costs a black person.”

        My answer said no such thing. If I was born black, I am sure I would be equally reluctant to change my race. I might pay to change my hair though, if I was black.

        I guess it would be like me saying that the airfare to Africa is only $999, therefore Blacks in America think that the disadvantages to living in a white American society as opposed to a black society, is less than a thousand bucks.

        Maybe. But maybe blacks just don’t want to move to Africa.

            The sexual angle you reference is a bit overstated.

            I remember, while on patrol, driving along a street and a black man with a white woman would identify us (unmarked car), and immediately grope the woman and stick his tongue down her throat…we would often laugh as we drove by. This was not uncommon, happened several times that I remember. You might believe that cops harass the blacks in the ghetto…actually, the blacks were often trying to get a response from us…sometimes they got one…mostly not.

            Beer bottle (long neck) size and strong as a bull? Just remember this conversation when you reach your 7th decade….

      • Squeeky Fromm Girl Reporter August 18, 2017 at 8:01 pm #

        Well, just like with trannies, Blacks would have to go thru a transitional phase before being turned white. Some would have to learn to speak English, get jobs, get back to school and learn how to read, learn how to do basic math. Learn that “Red Velvet Cake” and “Blue” and “Purple” are not acceptable hair colors. Learn that “motherf–ker and ni**er are not part of polite white conversation. Learn that kids need both parents, and that Doritos and Orange Drank are not acceptable kid breakfasts. They would have to learn to read Pickles the Fire Cat to their little heathens. And tell bed time stories. And not to resist arrest, and comply with officer’s request. And take birth control pills. etc. etc. etc.

        I mean the transition phase alone could take a lifetime for some blacks. They would have to unlearn more than half the stuff they think is true. I think it would be easier for whites to go black.

    Steve Bannon? We’ll see about Mr. Bannon

    Due to the fact that the discussion of the topic of “Moral Equivalency” is essentially taboo in the framework of the politically correct system created by Hillary Clinton, the [former] chief strategist of the White House, Steve Bannon, calls his friend the editor-in-chief, and “forgetting” to warn him that this is a private conversation, and not on the record interview and begins to cut the Mother Truth.

    And his friend, the editor-in-chief, remembering that by default any conversation with the Trump administration is official, he prints this as an interview with the chief strategist of the White House, which reveals that he is the main one who professes views that contradict the statements of Donald Trump, but which the opponents of Trump attribute to the president, combined with accusing him of racism, fascism and a proposal to impeach him for secret Nazism.

    http://prospect.org/article/steve-bannon-unrepentant

    This interview is very profound in terms of political philosophy and to some extent it has already neutralized the attempt to drive a wedge between Trump and his supporters. The latter remain faithful to him despite the rabid anti-Trump propaganda in the American and European media, and this frightens the so-called liberal intelligentsia of the United States, but Trump is also afraid to answer them as befits and is compelled to resort to the help of his chief strategist.

    The interview says in plain language that all this hysteria about North Korea’s nuclear weapons is a play to exert pressure on China and that no one is bombing anyone in the near future.

    But in Aesop language for Trump supporters there he says that the US intelligence community will soon have to explain why they think that the revelation of Clinton frauds with elections are threatening the US security and the transfer of missile technology after the Maidan, which established a total CIA control over Ukraine, that allows North Korea to blow nuclear warheads in 60 US cities, is not!!!

    The new head of the administration of the White House just today decided to dismiss Steve Bannon from the post of chief strategist of the White House, and one of the reasons for this is the above-mentioned interview.

    And since I have no doubt in what I wrote, I will take the liberty to assert that we are witnessing the unfolding of the intrigue, authored by Donald Trump (possibly in co-authorship with Melania Trump). And that means that not only the interview, but also the dismissal of Bannon is a well-prepared and premeditated blow to those who demanded his dismissal.

    My answer said no such thing. If I was born black,

    ***********************

    But the question was NOT “If I was born black.”
    Now you might be one of those stupid white people with reading comprehension issues…?

    But it is more probable that you are an average, ordinary white person who tries to sidestep the question because they subconsciously know what it means?

    This is why this thought experiment is best done face to face, with other people observing the interaction (and willing to call them out on stalling, non answers, equivocation, side stepping…)

    I suspect white peoples difficulty with this thought experiment is based on the fact you are asking a white person to provide low resolution information about the architecture of the system of racism white supremacy we exist in?

    Its kind of a “no win” situation for the white person because the more information they provide you, the more suspicion they come under that that are a racist running the system.

    Squeeky didn’t WANT to answer the question and thats why she CHOSE to adopt a faulty comprehension and answer a different (easier) question.

    I ain’t mad at her.

    You can also run a somewhat non racial version of the experiment that carries the same construct:

    Walk into a prison and ask every guard: “how much money would you need to become an inmate here?”

    If a guard refuses to answer, that non answer is a valid answer because its based on the superior knowledge the guards have of how the prison operates.

    The guards know more about the prison pathologies than the inmates; even though it is the inmates who experience them.

    And its a very similar situation with white people.

    No white person is EVER gonna come up to you and say:

    “see that white guy over there? You need to be vary careful interacting with him because he’s a racist and will try to harm you…”

    That is not the function of a white person in a system of racism white supremacy.

    Why?

    I suspect because all white people benefit from racism?

    Even if they themselves CHOOSE not to practice it.

    Racism white supremacy is a system; and when the “boss” comes around on Friday handing out pay checks, every white person expects to collect their check.

    “do you work here?”

    “hell yeah I work here, gimme my fucking check!”

      Hey Thwacker,
      The answer you want to hear was provided by a white lib named John Griffon back in the early 1960s. He took a drug called methoxsalen which has the side effect of turning the taker dark brown. He voluntarily turned himself into an afro and toured the south keeping a journal, resulting in a classic book of sorts…..Black Like Me. Here is the answer you want…..Griffon could only take it about six weeks and then ceased his racial adventure, preferring to return to being white. Wiki claims he received so many death threats after his book was published that he had to move to Mexico…….

        NSA,
        I read that book before I was 18 years old. What I took away from that book was that blacks were just like whites, but who were unfortunately born with black skin.

        Before I was 23 years old I was disabused of that notion…I began understanding the nuances of culture…and it’s corrosive effects on entire generations of black people.

    • Squeeky Fromm Girl Reporter August 18, 2017 at 9:16 pm #

      You are just blabbering, and your reasoning makes no sense. Suppose that you had asked me how much money I would take to get a boob job. That is a good analogy, because just like changing skin color, it is a physical attribute.

      If I say I don’t want a boob job, then what does say about my beliefs regarding boob jobs in general, or women with them or without them. It says nothing. All it says is that I do not personally want a boob job. And, that I don’t need the money.

      But you are insistent. You demand to know how much money it would take to get me to the plastic surgeon. And you call me a fag hag. Sooo, I say $5 Million. Does that mean that I think bigger boobs are a $5 Million cost or detriment to me??? Or that I think bigger boobs are a $5 Million costs to women who have them?? Does it mean that I think my current boobs are just wonderful, and couldn’t be better???

      None of those conclusions is a necessarily logical conclusion. All my answer says, is that I prefer not to have surgery, and that if forced to, then I would charge a premium. It could be that I think bigger boobs are an asset to a woman. It could be that, and still – that I don’t want silicone boobs.

      That is where your thought problem ends up at. A sketchy logical premise, and sketchier conclusions.

      Nice try, but go back to your drawing board. This time, try it without being stoned, or drunk.

          If a person WANTS to make a physical change, then the answer is much more logical and clear. Continuing the boob example, if I WANT bigger boobs, or differently shaped ones, then I go to a plastic surgeon and he gives me the price of $4,000.

          If I pay the price, then it is apparent that the new boobs are worth at least $4,000 to me. It still doesn’t imply that old boobs were bad, or a $4,000 detriment to me. Just that I think the new ones are worth $4,000.

          It is difficult to determine value in involuntary or forced transactions.

            This though experiment yields better data when you run it on younger white people, specifically, white children. The responses here are from old white people who try to answer in a way that supports racism (thats what the penis, boob job and 40 oz references are about)

            In contrast, white children will probably provide genuine, authentic, thoughtful answers because they are not yet fully vested in the system of racism white supremacy; in addition to lacking the language and sophistication for the advanced deceitful behavior necessary for the practice of racism.

            The Jane Elliot “Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes experiment” is a good example of this phenomenon. Those white children became so engrossed in the experiment that they forgot it was an experiment. In an interview she said the most disturbing result of the experiment was that once the children understood who was qualified for mistreatment; she no longer had to tell them HOW to mistreat them. They began to come up with new forms of abuse on their own.

            In addition, different (truthful) answers result when a white person runs it on another white person.

            Indeed, although the lies and deceit I receive from the white people on this blog are examples of white people practicing racism; they are also the reason so many nonwhite people participating “choose” not to reveal themselves as nonwhite.

            You said: “The responses here are from old white people who try to answer in a way that supports racism (thats what the penis, boob job and 40 oz references are about)”

            Huh??? That seems to be your ASSUMPTION, but you haven’t bothered to explain how my “boob jobs” analogy, for example, supports racism. What, do you just pick out any old factual reality and then whine that it supports racism??? Seems like that to me!

            Then, you blathered some more and said, “In contrast, white children will probably provide genuine, authentic, thoughtful answers because they are not yet fully vested in the system of racism white supremacy; in addition to lacking the language and sophistication for the advanced deceitful behavior necessary for the practice of racism.”

            Well, what if the “system of racism” is all in you head??? What if as white kids get older they simply believe what they see with their own two eyes, that black people commit a lot of crime, and act trashy, and have a 72% illegitimate birth rate? What if they watch youtube videos of savage black teen rampaging thru malls and streets?

            In other words, what if the “system of racism” is all in your head, and what is really happening is that white people are intelligently reacting to blacks acting like feral savages?

            For example, Maxine Waters, chooses to live outside her black district, and with a bunch of white people? Why? Is it a “system of racism” or does she simply not wish to a cap popped in her head in a drive-by, or have to put iron bars on her windows and doors to keep out, not the Klan, but her fellow black Democrats who like to steal everything that isn’t tied down?

    I’d rather a chess match. Good question, because I seem to want to dance around it.

    Could I wish for such mayhem, could anyone? I have to say yes.

    I don’t like the unsettledness of things, the infernal, on going tensions, the lingering doubt about the outcome of things.

    Sometimes things reach a point where there is no alternative. The decision is first made “outside” of one’s self, the hand is forced. Then the answer is an easy yes.

    The sculptor Henry Merwin Shrady from New York was commissioned to sculpt both the Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E Lee Memorials! In light of the current controversy, I find that to be a pretty remarkable historical fact. I imagine there wasn’t much shit-talking or protesting from either the Yankee or Confederate side of the fence toward the sculptor. People probably figured, they got theirs now we want ours and pretty much forgot about that which they did not admire.

    But if they did give him shit he probably invited them into his workshop so he could shoot a hand-hammered marble chip into their fucking eyes. Cocksuckers.

    Arno Brecker, the incredible Nazi sculptor, produced some truly amazing nude male statutory. Indeed, I sense a homoerotic element to his work, as nothing short of intense desire and passion could have produced such sensual and yet fascistic faceted sculpture. While the lower half presents unabashed virility and latent sexuality, the upper half of acute high cheekbones was testament to Teutonic temerity and determined eyes.

    Nowadays, his work only appeals to sculpture connoisseurs and specifically, that of the 20th century. But In fact there is a seminal universality to that certain austere look associated with fascist art and it emerged from the Direct Carving movement of the early 20th century in which ‘truth to material’ was espoused and revered. And it had more to do with the physical/formal properties of the material limitations that stone –especially the harder varieties–imposed on form itself. In other words, some stones such as granite dictate a severe,planar, faceted form development that is also politically associated with fascist art, which is also very angular and declarative in spirit.

    (I know, someone is going to ask ‘but what about Bernini and the incredibly detailed delicacy of his marble sculpture. Great question but Michelangelo would say let’s roll the sculpture down a mountain and see it stays intact and that no delicate protrusions are broken free from the material matrix.)

    But, “Direct Carving”–and by direct carving I mean without the aid of a plaster model/pointing machine first conceived in the far different material of clay– is not a ‘declaration” but a proposal. One is not ‘imposing’ but listening and searching for possibilities ever so subtle and spontaneously suggested by the emerging form from its matrix of material and as a result of the process, not politics. Think of passing cloud images spontaneously suggesting possibilities. The declarative spirit, so sure of where it’s going and how to get there is not suited for heeding the whispers of the moment.

    Of course it gets far deeper than this: others argue that even spontaneous form development inflections do not emerge free from the influence –especially sub-consciously- of the sculptors own life experiences which would of course include politics.

    This is that and that is this and the interpenetration of cause,effect and result right down to one’s personal DNA is so historically deep and tangled that all a simple person can do is embrace NOW. And NOW, more than any moment ever known to man, is all about Let It Be, past and present

    • pequiste August 19, 2017 at 6:46 am #

      Some profound early-morning insight into the sculptor’s oeuvre here Buck. Thank you.

      I myself was astonished, mesmerized, and transfixed by Bernini at the Galleria Borghese: I could not see how it was possible that cold hard stone could attain such sensuality. The same at the Santa Maria de la Vittoria’s Cornaro Chapel — St Teresa: voluptuous while virtuous, as the cherub, with the most playful grin, using the arrow to pierce her heart. The sculpted onlookers having what appeared to be a nearly clinical expression of interest in the divine actions. Then the added effect of the lighting, making the scene a theatre transcendant.

      It will be a pity when the Yzlamik hordes first demand the closure of both places, then take direct action and smash the works – claiming them to be insensitive to Mohammedan cultural sensibilities ( idols being ” haram” heresies and all that.)

      Just like what the Antifa thugs are doing to Confederate statuary now.

    The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation declared the power in Russia illegal, and President Yeltsin – the protege of the CIA.

    The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Maria Zakharova within the framework of the weekly briefing with journalists entered into polemics with the director of the CIA Michael Pompeo, who repeatedly accused the Kremlin of long-term attempts to undermine democracy in the USA.

    In response, Zakharova reminded Washington of the $500 million in cash that was brought to Moscow on the eve of the presidential election in 1996…

    For several nights, the CIA staff of the American embassy, headed by Michael Sulik, literally slept on bags filled with cash, guarding them until money were taken out from the diplomatic mission in foreign-make cars, and delivered to certain individuals, Zakharova said.

    One of Trump’s main supporters, Alex Jones, draws attention to the fact that monuments are demolished only to those Confederate generals who stood on “Christian”, or rather Protestant positions, and the monuments to the Satanist-Illuminati confederates are carefully guarded.

    That is, Clinton’s supporters in order to overthrow Trump try to kindle a racial war, and Trump’s supporters opposing them, are fueling the religious war.

    Recall that the United States with its anti-Russian sanctions attempted to impede the implementation of the Nord Stream-2 project. However, despite Washington’s restrictions, this gas pipeline will be built just in time.

    Several years ago, I on one of the forums joked that after Luzhkov’s dismissal from the post of Mayor of Moscow, in the basement of the Moscow City Council, $4 trillion cash American dollars were found – Luzhkov was laundering the money for the drug mafia headed by Hillary.

    And the American sanctions package is known to include a ban on financing the North Stream-2. And yesterday my joke returned when one of the members of the forum informed me that Western Europe had agreed to finance the North Stream 2 in cash!

    Steve Bannon Speaks After White House Departure: ‘I’m Going to War for Trump’

    Recently departed White House strategist Steve Bannon is preparing a war for Donald Trump, not against him.
    “If there’s any confusion out there, let me clear it up: I’m leaving the White House and going to war for Trump against his opponents — on Capitol Hill, in the media, and in corporate America,” Bannon told Bloomberg Businessweek’s Joshua Green.

    Green said that Bannon “sounded like he’d just consumed 40 Red Bulls” during his conversation with him on the phone.

    The rise of the Oligarchs
    ….so we can see who they are…..
    The subject is Robert Mercer, Bannon’s boss and the money behind the operation.
    So what do these behind the scenes political operatives Mercer and daughter Rebekah want?

    Just as the Koch Brothers have designed the Right in this country for decades, the Mercers are also on their own, somewhat similar tack. They want to move the Republicans away from the globalist track and come back to nationalism.

    That in itself doesn’t sound bad, but it all depends on how extreme the vision thing is and if Breitbart tells you anything, then you get a good idea what they’re pushing. Please take note. Mercer is extremely wealthy and will back all of Bannon’s activities, so this is not a market driven model, it is a free lunch for Bannon to work his influence even if Breitbart and his other endeavors had no buyers…..(a form of communism, no?)

    In the past I posted the Guardian article on the data mining operation called Cambridge Analytica he runs in order to use social media to message the way he wants people to think.

    I complain that media refuses to discuss how our radical right wing oligarchs are redefining politics through large infusions of money and how they destroy the careers of those they don’t agree with–even against member of the Republican party. That’s why Trump threatens the Republicans in their next campaign….cuz he knows how this is done.

    Last night Rachel Maddow had Jane Meyer who wrote Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right. That was mainly about the Kochs, but now she’s explaining how Mercer works behind the scenes.

    BTW, Bannon and Conway work for him and that he backed Trump and provided Trump with his people, resources and $$$.

    I would love many of my friends to do some research to actually read about what his ideas are. How he aligns himself, quite possibly with Russia because of their values and how he affected the Brexit election.

    It is of utmost importance that people grasp how our system of governance is being manipulated.
    Our founding fathers used John Locke and his ideas, eschewing Hobbs. You need to get the picture that the billionaire class of the 21rst Century are embracing Hobbs and all that entails.

Maybe I am wrong. From the very little I have heard I’d guess they break down into a majority who share the conventional socially-leftist mindset. There are probably not as many utopians as in the media and politics but more than among the rest of us. Where does Bill Gates, for example, stand on that spectrum? I remember reading about one of the supergroups, Led Zepellin or Pink Floyd, playing for an audience of hedge fund managers.

        As for this being orchestrated, again I am sceptical. I know that in the ‘Savita’ case in Ireland, which the Left used* to push for abortion, the story was leaked in advance to activists. In Britain Marxists have long been on their ‘march through the institutions’ to further the progressive agenda. And bankers and big business will lobby and conspire to further their business interests. But is there a globalist agenda to exploit Third World Labour? I doubt it. I never looked into it because I always assumed it was all uninformed conspiracy theory.

        For example, from Booker and North’s The Great Deception, the most authoritative account (sceptical that is, as opposed to Toby Young’s) of Britain and the EU, when the Community was enlarged getting on for twenty years ago the British (quite exceptionally) decided to allow free entry to the new nations to come and work. The estimate was that something like 13,000 would arrive but the figure turned out to be nearly a hundred times greater. So I go for fantasy rather than conspiracy: they don’t know really what they are doing. (Huge numbers of Poles and others came to Ireland when we followed the British lead. I’d be surprised if anyone here in the Dept of Finance even bothered to make an estimate. It probably never occurred to anyone.)

        *Quite wrongly because the pregnant Indian dentist died of blood poisoning and the claim that she lost her life because she was denied an abortion because Ireland’s laws are backward and barbarous because of the Catholic Church has been shown to be quite false.

          Globalist-Oligarchs are a handful in number. Do they conspire? You bet they do. Plus they lobby governments for favorable legislation and trade agreements, they contribute to politicians, they buy them and sell them like cattle.

          The objective was to put in place and maintain a multi-national regime to safe-guard multi-national investments and supply lines. This means moving factories and jobs to China and Mexico and India. Trade agreements and the WTO didn’t get there by happenstance.

          As for names, for starters look to Hillary’s donor lists. Look to who goes to the Davos get-togethers. Look to the people that control the Fortune 500.

          There are people in that set that make no bones about it, they call themselves “globalist”. There are publications like Economist Magazine that shill for them. The greatly enlightened bi-coastal clerisy that administer this system call themselves “cosmopolitan”. They pretend that nation-states are so yesterday, that nations are the preserve of imbeciles. They’ll find out in the fullness of time that they are wrong. They’ll learn that nations provide what they need to survive. But for the present, they act on behalf of their masters and they call the shots.

          I lived my life in the belly of the corporate world. I’ve seen entire departments of skilled white-collar workers get the boots because their work was sent to India. I’ve seen people go to India to train their replacements. They do this to not get a reputation as a whiner. You’re supposed to swallow whatever shit they dole out without complaint. You want to be able to get another job. You want no problems with getting your severance payment. You want a good reference.

          The Oligarchs know what they’re doing and they don’t. They’ve set up a global system of production and consumption for their own wealth and income but that is unworkable, that is upright only for the time being because of central bank and government treasury interventions.

          For now the Globalist set have massively increased their wealth. It has to be noted that it was at the expense of a huge multitude of American workers. But this is not sustainable because the economy they’re created is not sustainable. 20 trillion in US federal debt is testament to this, the present day policy of NIRP and ZIRP is also, ever lengthening terms for auto leases is also. There are many indicators. All these are methamphetamine and crack-cocaine for the financial system.

          Financial markets are the overlay to the real economy. If the real economy doesn’t work, then neither do financial markets.

            Right on target. The conspiracy is first and foremost subtle – it’s never spoken of or written about openly and it’s designed to play out over decades and even centuries, not election cycles – and its played by power players who are mostly unknown to the hoi polloi.

            This season three’s Fargo soliloquy explains it well:

            I don’t doubt that there is conspiracy. Peter Hitchens calls it ‘lunch’ (provided by political correspondents in return for gossip from the politicians). But I remain to be convinced that the globalists devised the progressive agenda either to further their business aims or to distract and occupy the multitudes. I have no doubt it suits their interests but they support it because everyone has to have a creed.

            “They pretend that nation-states are so yesterday… the preserve of imbeciles.”

            My suspicion is that they don’t pretend but actually do believe it.

          • Sean Coleman August 19, 2017 at 3:54 pm #

            DA, it can’t be that subtle. The conspiracy is never written or spoken about because it does not exist (any more than the Protocols of the Elders of Zion) except in terms of individuals (or individual businesses) or short-term deals and arrangements with similar individuals. There have been influential men with grandiose strategic plans, like the environmentalist Maurice Strong, but that is a different thing, isn’t it? As I say, I don’t know enough but my money is on the psychological factor. I know the UN are always pushing for more integration and control and similarly minded people and bodies around the globe, but that is because they share the same faith, not creating it.

    • DA August 19, 2017 at 10:04 am #

      Thanks for that. Hadn’t heard of this guy previously.

      I think we’d all do well to de-emphasize the whole right vs left dichotomy, as it’s in nearly all cases merely trading one deadly poison for another. The key factors in ALL political decisions these days IMO should be Globalism vs Nationalism, Corporatism vs Localism, Imperialism vs Non-Interventionism, Exceptionalism vs Realism, Financialism vs Tangible Ownership of Real Assets, and Continued Growth vs Managed Contraction.

      These are the stark choices we face today, and not surprisingly, neither the right NOR the left is willing to belly up to the bar to address them. That’s just as much the voters’ problem as it is the pols’, as no pol would dare touch these subjects for fear of losing their funding and being roundly rejected at the polls.

      The left is fighting tooth and nail right now because they’re losing the cultural wars badly (hysterical MSM claims notwithstanding), but rest assured, the right are no choirboys either. If we stay on our current course Civil War 2.0 is guaranteed – and worse – it won’t even be fought over anything that actually matters!

      • Sean Coleman August 19, 2017 at 11:21 am #

        Who are the Right? Perhaps the analogy of the Catholic Church is right (I nearly wrote ‘appropriate’ there.) The cliché has it that the ‘Hierarchy’ is holding everyone back. You think of the Da Vinci code with its ‘prelates’ and ‘hulking’ albino monks conspiring against sexual intercourse (orgies among consenting adults are beautiful because they are natural) and wummen in general. The trouble is most of the priests are of the Left (Christian churches have long been enthusiasts for mass immigration). So it’s the bishops. But they too turn out to have been misunderstood. So it’s the cardinals. Again, nope, they want to bring the Church ‘into the world’ as its contemporary role is social justice. So it’s the Pope then. Again, with the departure of the hated Benedict, that won’t wash either. So it’s the mysterious, faceless bureaucrats of the Vatican who are pulling all the strings, obstructing the Pope in his efforts to ‘humanize’ the institution. But these are the same lads who leak to the press and who it turns out just want to be left alone to eat their pizza and to read the sports papers.

        I think the Left vs Right is probably similar. There is only the Left vs common sense.

        • DA August 19, 2017 at 12:57 pm #

          The so-called political “Left” and “Right” are merely flip sides of the same coin to be employed in the same political side show. “Step right up folks and play the game of chance! Heads we win, tails you lose – GUARANTEED!”

        Rachel Maddow has a Jewish background. She may have grown up in a Catholic household but, long ago, it was common for Jews to convert to Catholicism to hide their identity.

        But, Jewish tendencies cannot be hidden as they are baked into the DNA. Her anti-White comments betray Jewish DNA coming to the surface. It takes very little effort to uncover such self-flagellation and contempt for Whites. Especially White Goy who practice rational racism i.e. self-preservation and refusal to endorse miscegenation.

    The long read

    Neoliberalism: the idea that swallowed the world

    The word has become a rhetorical weapon, but it properly names the reigning ideology of our era – one that venerates the logic of the market and strips away the things that make us human.

      Neoliberalism is an old term, dating back to the 1930s, but it has been revived as a way of describing our current politics – or more precisely, the range of thought allowed by our politics. In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, it was a way of assigning responsibility for the debacle, not to a political party per se, but to an establishment that had conceded its authority to the market. For the Democrats in the US and Labour in the UK, this concession was depicted as a grotesque betrayal of principle. Bill Clinton and Tony Blair, it was said, had abandoned the left’s traditional commitments, especially to workers, in favour of a global financial elite and the self-serving policies that enriched them; and in doing so, had enabled a sickening rise in inequality.

      Over the past few years, as debates have turned uglier, the word has become a rhetorical weapon, a way for anyone left of centre to incriminate those even an inch to their right. (No wonder centrists say it’s a meaningless insult: they’re the ones most meaningfully insulted by it.) But “neoliberalism” is more than a gratifyingly righteous jibe. It is also, in its way, a pair of eyeglasses.

      Peer through the lens of neoliberalism and you see more clearly how the political thinkers most admired by Thatcher and Reagan helped shape the ideal of society as a kind of universal market (and not, for example, a polis, a civil sphere or a kind of family) and of human beings as profit-and-loss calculators (and not bearers of grace, or of inalienable rights and duties). Of course the goal was to weaken the welfare state and any commitment to full employment, and – always – to cut taxes and deregulate. But “neoliberalism” indicates something more than a standard rightwing wish list. It was a way of reordering social reality, and of rethinking our status as individuals.

      • Sean Coleman August 19, 2017 at 6:55 pm #

        Well, from this extract I see he can write. I didn’t know the word neoliberalism is that old. I wonder what it meant then. My guess is the new kind of big-state, new deal liberal, the unknowns who got their chance own under Roosevelt. This reminds me of one of the very few quotes I can half-remember from university. Al Long, who “compared the New Dealers to Marx and Lenin… accused Roosevelt of handing the government over to dreamy professors and bleeding-heart social workers” (according to David Kennedy (The American People In The Great Depression).

        “Who is Ickes? Who is Wallace? Who is Hopkins? And, in the name of all that is good and holy, who is Tugwell, and where did he blow from?”

        I don’t think Metcalf has this in mind, of course, but rather free-market fundamentalists. I’ll read it on Monday if I get a chance. I’d agree that it has to be a crude and rather stupid belief, and Thatcher certainly fell under its spell, at least for a while. But while it is possible that it was “a way of reordering social reality, etc” he is looking in the wrong direction. Thatcher seems to have had an epiphany late in her premiership when she realized that the EU ‘project’ was going to remodel life in a radical and revolutionary way (one that the social justice crowd would thoroughly approve of) and she wasn’t going to stand for it. That (rather than the admittedly unpopular ‘poll tax’) is why her cabinet colleagues got rid of her.

        I think this neoliberal thing completely misses the point.

      Is it worth reading that article?

(We’re not medieval, of course, but maybe just this once?)

      Surely the reigning ideology is the progressive one we all know and love. It sounds insane, I know, but that is because I think it *is* insane..

      • DA August 19, 2017 at 12:52 pm #

        I thought it was pretty good, but individual mileage might very. Nothing radically new in it. The many woes of neo-liberalism have already been documented extensively.

        • DA August 19, 2017 at 1:22 pm #

          Although it does trace and explain the history of neo-Liberalism back to Hayek:

          “When the idea [neo-liberal economic thought/theory] occurred to Friedrich Hayek in 1936, he knew, with the conviction of a “sudden illumination”, that he had struck upon something new. “How can the combination of fragments of knowledge existing in different minds,” he wrote, “bring about results which, if they were to be brought about deliberately, would require a knowledge on the part of the directing mind which no single person can possess?”

          This was not a technical point about interest rates or deflationary slumps. This was not a reactionary polemic against collectivism or the welfare state. This was a way of birthing a new world. To his mounting excitement, Hayek understood that the market could be thought of as a kind of mind.”

          This the intellectual underpinning for an economic theory that has morphed into a virtual religion today.

    The nihilism displayed by the readers on this blog is expected. We are swimming in a sea of nihilistic propaganda, spawned and sponsored by those in Rome and Malta (who dare not ever be named) and their subcontracted state operators in Moscow and Langley. James Howard Kunstler, I guess is to be commended for swimming against the latest sub-current of nihilism, but he often falls victim to the propaganda as can be read on his blog posts regards the end of the world as we know it. All total nonsense.

    So, why the nihilistic propaganda you ask? What’s its purpose? President Trump intuitively understands where this is going, but not completely. The real purpose of this propaganda is to make the US Constitution Null&Void. They’ve been working very hard at this for a long time, and they’re almost there. The US Constitution served its purpose. It allowed the Society of Loyola open and legal entry to the new Protestant country, allowed its agents free access to the new Roman Republic/Empire, and allowed the Society of Loyola the establishment of total control over the State and all its fascist institutions, public and private.

    The physical and cultural agenda to genocide Protestants in their new republic has gone perfectly to plan. (Sun Tzu: The Art of War: A Jesuit Tale — https://youtu.be/BlK1rJvnpkM). The Protestant “idiot rubes” as Kunstler likes to fondly refer to them, today are completely ignorant of their history and that of the Counter-Reformation. Even the very term itself is completely alien to them, nevermind knowing and understanding why everything to do with the events of the last three centuries cannot be really understood unless viewed from that perspective.

    And this is only a few generations after their grandparents knew all about this political/religious/cultural conspiracy. In fact, the propaganda has rained so long and the subterfuge machinations have been so effective, that the very mention of this topic now seems so “outlandish” and so outrageous to the public ear, it stirs the same vile emotions of political repression that animate the $30/hr nazi Soros bots hired to populate the streets with violence. Hired to distract from the DNC/CNN/CIA/Google criminal malfeasance and epic treason.

    • Janos Skorenzy August 19, 2017 at 1:14 pm #

      Another Catholic Conspiracy theorist, obviously. Now is the Church keeping its character and transforming the rest of the world into its image? Or is the New World Order, the Judeo-Masons, transforming the Church and the rest of the world into its image? The latter obviously. Pope Francis meets with Soros regularly, has Rabbis for friends and counselors, lauds abortionists as saints, and is moving Gay Bishops up all around him to the highest levels. Is the Pope, Catholic? In name only.

      This person can’t tell the difference between assimilating the other and being assimilated by the other.

      I admit the Catholics were once bigger players, but they lost when modernity kicked in. And of course, the French lost North America. That was very big too. The Spanish kept South America, but they’ve always been backwards because they interbred with the Indians early on and created huge populations of mestizos. Then Negros were brought in as slaves. One terrible decision after another.

      It does get confusing since some Masonic bodies used elements of Catholicism, most famously Adam Weisphalt, former Jesuit and creator of the illuminati. Skull and Bones uses confession as well.

        You need to peruse this book for an extensive history of the major religions and the secret societies they’ve spawned, Janos. I don’t buy the “alien masters” hypothesis it puts forward [the idea is plausible, but I don’t think the author makes the case convincingly], but the relatively brief (400 pages+, but some of the chapters are filler) historical discussion is pretty informative. The .pdf format is a little off-putting, but still readable.

          Well you probably believe that men only ever met thus to scheme politically. I believe there were good secret societies as well – knowing that they can go bad at any time.

          Spiritually, the West’s tragedy is that for the last two thousand years or so it only allowed bhakti or the yoga of devotion with Christ as the only allowable object. Many men wanted to practice other paths to Christ or other religions entirely. The path of Wisdom, even insofar as it was allowed in the Church, often puts its practicioners in prison or in trouble with the Church authorities. And of course the lower octave, secular knowledge was also policed. A man who practiced both octaves, Giordano Bruno, was burned at the stake. Over time things like this created great hatred. And after the Templars were betrayed and crushed, the fire of revenge was lit, never to be extinguished. Evil now abides with the rebels – it always go with the odds on winner after all.

      I have no problem with polyamory in theory. (In practice I couldn’t possibly manage it myself; dealing with one significant other at a time is quite enough.) If polyandry were as common as polygyny, it would be less of a problem, but patriarchal multiple marriage (i.e. man plus bonded concubines) isn’t compatible with western values.

    The decline of the US nation began ages and ages ago. In the late 19th century and early 20th century when immigrants were needed for labor. They were needed to replace generations of Americans lost in the Civil War, and their lost potential progeny. A divided nation, then 2 nations, and finally one disappearing nation. What we have today is a country that’s only sources of unification are the long and deep tentacles of the state that can barely keep things together, and a depressingly banal commonality in consumption patterns, e.g., Golden State jerseys, iPhones, Papa John’s pizza, Crocs, Justin Timberfake downloads, Disneyworld vacations, New Era caps, advertising events masquerading as football games (NFL), and on and on. There are simply no profound bonds. No national patrimony. No hereditary bonds. Less and less care about the nation, its institutions, its binding document, its experiment as an independent nation escaped from the clutches of both king and church, and centralized governments, and European designs. We have a country populated by comfortable imbeciles. I share no blood, no history, no ideas, no love, and no care for a great many of them. Neither they with me. The state will do everything to keep the ship steady. To force people to believe that they are one, that they must share the same ideas. I’m apathetic, I just want it all o go away. It’s a lost cause. No dignity in pretending otherwise.

    Open Letter to Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe
    Spencer Quinn
    1,188 words

    Dear Governor McAuliffe,

    In the Soviet Union, they had essentially two kinds of prisoners in their vast gulag system: the 58s and everyone else. The 58s had been indicted under the provisions of Article 58 of the Soviet criminal code, which gave the state license to lock up virtually anyone for political reasons. If someone was deemed even a potential enemy of the people, that was enough to slap a 58 on him. Intellectuals, free thinkers, religious people, didn’t matter. Anyone unlucky enough to say the wrong thing at the wrong time . . . or not . . . could be looking at ten to twenty-five years hard time north of the Arctic Circle. And your innocence would be completely immaterial since they would torture you until you signed a confession.

    And the other kind of prisoner? Those were your run-of-the-mill murderers, rapists, thieves. You know, real criminals. People who needed to be locked up because they posed an immediate danger to the public.

    Take a guess which kind of prisoner held more power in the Soviet gulag system. Guess which kind of prisoner the state trusted to help run things for them in the vast reaches of the archipelago.

    If you guessed it was the real criminals, you’d be right. Better to be a convicted violent criminal in the old Soviet Union than it was to be even a suspected thought criminal who never harmed a soul in his life. This is the very antithesis of the American way of life where people are supposedly allowed to think and speak as they please as long as they’re peaceful about it.

    Does any of this sound familiar to you? It should. Because on Saturday, August 12, 2017, during the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, you helped resuscitate the Soviet Union right here in America. On one hand, you had over a thousand Right-wingers who were there simply to congregate peacefully, to attend speeches, and to legally protest the removal of certain Civil War statues. They had no intention of violence, as evidenced by the peaceful assembly they had held the night before.

    These are the people whom you wish to brand with the 58 label: the thought criminals, the enemies of the people. These are the people you so lazily smear as “white supremacists and neo-Nazis” when really the most accurate thing about that description is the first word. These are folks whose only crime was to break cultural taboos by standing up for their own race and culture. Like the 58ers in the gulag, they were perfectly innocent, yet guilty of everything.

    And on the other hand, you had the riotous violent counter-protesters who came there with the sole purpose of causing trouble. They had no permit, yet were allowed to assemble (as opposed to the Unite the Right people who had a permit and were told to disband). They had hate-filled signs. They spat on people. They wielded clubs and baseball bats. They threw rocks. They threw frozen water bottles. They threw jars filled with concrete. They threw jars filled with urine. They threw jars filled with feces. They attacked people with modified flame throwers. They shot pepper spray at people. One man very well might have suffered permanent damage to his vision because of such an attack. Another suffered a blow with a claw hammer near his ear.

    And as for the young man who drove into a crowd of counter-protestors, killing one woman and injuring nineteen more, his car was beset on all sides by a violent mob. There is video showing thugs smashing his rear window with bats. And so he panicked and hit the gas and then reverse to get out of there. If there ever was a time to have reasonable doubt, at least before all the facts come in, this is it.

    But instead, you prefer to side with the real criminals over the thought criminals, the violent over the non-violent, the ‘everybody else’ over the despised 58s. In fact, don’t think we don’t remember how you signed an order last year that restored voting rights for 206,000 Virginia ex-felons in Virginia, including murderers and rapists. If that’s not a red flag pointing to your Soviet sensibilities, I don’t what is.

    You say that the Unite the Right crowd has no place in America. But whose America? That of the inheritors of the Soviet Union who’d rather bash heads than exchange ideas? That of the useful criminals who gladly do that bashing for them as their leadership turns a blind eye to their misdeeds? Is that what you want to turn America into? A place where people fear for their lives when saying politically incorrect things? A place where defending yourself is tantamount to attacking someone in the eyes of the public and press? A place where merely sticking up for one’s racial interests instantly makes one guilty of past atrocities and worthy of exile?

    And to compound all this, you don’t wish to apply these draconian standards equally among all people, do you? In Terry McAuliffe’s America, non-whites don’t have to fear for their lives when saying politically incorrect things, do they? The obnoxious anti-white tweets of Charlottesville’s vice mayor Wes Bellamy shows that that’s true. In your America, non-whites can also stick up for their racial interests all they want, yes? When you spoke at the Mt. Zion First African Baptist Church on Sunday, the day after the rally, you said you stood with the African-American community in condemning white supremacy. So clearly you are not against people organizing on the basis of race.

    No, in Terry McAuliffe’s America it’s only white people who cannot be allowed to do these things. Or they can, as long as they are being explicitly anti-white about it. Then they can wave Soviet or Antifa flags and assault people all they want and you’ll never disavow them. They’re not the 58s, you see. They’re not the real troublemakers. But when a few nitwits show up at a right wing rally with Nazi flags, well, that’s enough to condemn the whole lot of them, isn’t it?

    So, congratulations, Governor. By siding with the violent counter-protesters and applying this double standard towards non-violent whites, you’re only proving yourself to be just as bad as Soviet officials and twice as hypocritical. It is, after all, their form of jurisprudence you wish to emulate.

    That’s quite an accomplishment, isn’t it?

    And you know what? You’re right. If this is indeed what America will turn into then the people who attended that rally on Saturday will certainly have no place there. No one on the Right will. That’s because we can envision a better place. A place without small-minded, would-be Soviet apparatchiks like yourself who place higher value on physical violence than on free thought and association. Keep pushing us, Governor, and one day we will find that place and go there.

    And if you do ever get that America you envision, and your precious non-whites turn on you in the same way they turned on the Unite the Right crowd on Saturday, don’t coming knocking.

    Because we won’t let you in.

    Sincerely,

      The White Goy have been prevented from weaponizing rhetoric to defend themselves and to combat Jewish social engineering. Especially now that the Jews are so close to making a touchdown. Jewish social engineers are 1st and goal and their move to take down Confederate statues is an illegal forward pass. BUT, the flag was thrown against the DEFENSE for calling them out!

        Why would “Jews” care about Confederate statues?

        And I thought “da Joos” were partners to the Anglo slave owners. In fact, from what I read on the interweb most of “them Joos” were actively involved in importing black slaves to the “New World”. What gives?

        • JimInFlorida August 19, 2017 at 7:42 pm #

          ANYTHING that even remotely elevates White Goy consciousness is anathema to Jews. Rabbis make no secret of this.

    Listening for a second to the horrible D’nesh D’Souza making bank with his “Democrats are the real Racists” meme. Yes, back then the Democrats were for the White Race. The last vestiges of that ended in the 80’s as Unionism collapsed. Now they are vehemently anti-White but these bozos can’t or cynically won’t admit things have changed. As if we don’t have the Right to Representation at all. Republicucks eat this shit up, damning their people and children to a living hell on Earth in the near future.

    Apart from the horrible attitude and ideology, it’s just stupid on the bare physical or technical level as well. Imagine a company that used to sell computers but got out of it in order to focus on other things. Now imagine a disgruntled former customer who refuses to believe they don’t still make bad computers, harassing them about their secret computer making, computers that no one has or can find.

    • Janos Skorenzy August 19, 2017 at 2:31 pm #

      The horrid Mr D’Souza is Indian and has no problem with Whites having no representation. In fact, he got Sam Francis fired from his job for attending an American Renaissance conference. The distinguished Mr Francis died in relative poverty some time afterwards.

    • akmofo August 19, 2017 at 3:41 pm #

      Janos Skorenzy, seems to me you hitched your horse to the wrong wagon. Italians are not white. Never were. Italians and Greeks are in fact offshoots of ancient seafaring Hebrews. Specifically, the northern Danite tribe which migrated from Tzor to the rest of the Mediterranian. Today, Tzor (Hebrew: fortress), is known as Tyre, Lebanon. The Greeks and the Carthaginians were the first derivative of this migration. The Latins were the second derivative. (Edenics by Isaac Mozeson — http://isaacmozeson.blogspot.com).

      Amazing what destruction family squabbles can lead to. The StarWars tale being the theatrical analog.

      But back to the Flavian Roman Church. Being a construction of the Flavian family (Joseph Atwill: Caesar’s Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus: Flavian Signature Edition), it is not about the dominion of the planet by “Whites”. It’s about the dominion of the planet by the Italian family. The arrival of the Germanic forest peoples to the party is very late. Though the Germanic forest peoples were used tactically, from my vantage point, the pattern of their destruction points to the view that the “Bavarian” influence will not remain long.

      • Janos Skorenzy August 19, 2017 at 4:05 pm #

        My mind was unbalanced once I learned of the Jew’s role in overthrowing our Civilization. Everyone seemed Jewish – even myself at times. Luckily I’m out of that. Not everyone is Jewish, thank God.

          Catholicism is basically poorly disguised Mithras/Ceasar worship with heavy Greek Dualism and African statue worship.

          Ethnically, and by language ties, they are lost Hebrews/Sumerians. Hebrew is Sumerian with a newly invented Hebrew alphabet. Analysis of both Greek and Latin shows them to be derivatives of Hebrew.

        • JimInFlorida August 20, 2017 at 1:57 pm #

          Italians in the north tend to be as White as the rest of Europe. Those in the south are a festering mishmash of lesser ethnicities and races. The Jewish mafia is strong among those people.

          • akmofo August 20, 2017 at 2:51 pm #

            Only rest of Europe isn’t white. Not Spain, not France, not Greece, not Romania, not Albania, not Bosnia, not Bulgaria, not Portugal, etc. You can say Northern Europe is White, but these “Germans” are a minority in Europe.

          • JimInFlorida August 21, 2017 at 6:57 am #

            I’m talking about REAL pre-Muslim invasion Europe.
            The way it WAS in Cold War times. The further back the better.

            But, yes, as one moves closer to the Mediterranean and the muddy stains of the former Ottoman Empire, the less White Europe was. The concept of borders kept the movement of undesirables in check.

            And Hitler Was Right about the vital importance of racial hygiene and preventing racial pollution. Again, borders, language, and culture must be upheld. The most desirable parts of Europe are, and have always been, WHITE. All of janet’s lies and propaganda cannot change that.

            The European Union was a Jewish race mixing project in conjunction with the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan. So, only in the context of that malevolent Jewish project, you are correct.

          • akmofo August 21, 2017 at 7:21 am #

            As I said earlier the Germanic invasion of Northern Europe is very recent. There was practically nothing there but frozen forests. No farming and no real population was possible until 500 years ago. But you keep this up and what done is very likely to be undone.

    “There were many among the crowd who said, Surely, this is God’s Anointed for whom we have long waited. Now we will be delivered according to the promises of the prophets. Hearing the things said by the people among themselves, Jesus was saddened and said to Bartholomew who stood near Him, Tomorrow they will revert to their old way of life and permit evil to reign through hypocrites and self-deceivers. How can they be brought to understand that should God intervene to bring about the Rule of God, Earth and mankind will have failed Him and be unworthy of His rule?

    The War of Steve Bannon

    The departure of Steve Bannon from the White House paradoxically forces me to revisit the topic of Christianity’s interaction with politics, which most directly intersects with the theme of the Western Colored Projects.

    The fact is that the awakening of the historical consciousness of the American people has shown that it is a continuation of the historical consciousness of the English Yeomen, and the first “Empire of Evil”, which Steve Bannon refers to in his trilogy, for the English Yeomen and the current alt-right was a state Built by William the Conqueror and William Fitz-Osborn, Earl of Wessex.

    Accordingly, the mystical head of the followers of Steve Bannon is St. Margaret of Scotland, the daughter of Grand Prince of Rus Yaroslav the Wise (according to Roger of Hoveden), and although they do not remember this, but the real mysticism is a pretty strong thing, and it’s not just for nothing more and more alternative right-wingers who go on demonstrations under the slogan: “Russia is our friend!”

    Meanwhile, Bannon continues to dominate the news line, saying that with his departure, Trump’s presidency, for which the right-wing fighters fought and won, is over. Most media present this statement as a declaration of war on Donald Trump, but if you look at the original text, the impression is the opposite: that this statement means an open declaration of war to those who are trying to overthrow Donald Trump.

    http://www.weeklystandard.com/bannon-the-trump-presidency-that-we-fought-for-and-won-is-over./article/2009355

    And if you remember how a year ago, Donald Trump as a candidate for the presidency and Steve Bannon as chief editor of Breitbart so scared the US liberals that they seriously began to discuss ways to suppress the armed uprising of the American people against themselves:
    http://www.businessinsider.com/us-military-armed-rebellion-2016-8

    But then Trump was only a candidate, and now he is the President, and if the liberals manage to overthrow him, then their power in the eyes of Trump’s voters will obviously be illegitimate, and they will be usurpers.

    There is an easy fix for all the calls for statue/monument removals. Simply replace their heads with those of black leaders.

That should keep them at bay until they come up with another reason to lay blame. And why shouldn’t they? It’s all given too them.

          The holding corporation (Mars, Inc.?) that owned Uncle Ben’s tried to turn Ben into an older White man in the 1970’s. I remember the TV spots very well.

          It wasn’t direct but, subtle. The marketers were feeling out public reaction to the new Ben. They got SPANKED for even suggesting that Uncle Ben is anything but an elderly Black man.

          Aunt Jemima was always Black. She ditched the head scarf for a matronly hair weave but, she’s always been Black.

    This is how the Left does it. Protest against a peaceful,conservative, free speech demonstration, take the virtue signaling high ground, and call the demonstrators Nazis, Fascists, and Haters. All while hitting and dragging to the ground a woman carrying the American flag.

    The Right was vastly outnumbered, and even Fox media coverage was at best lukewarm to the free speech demonstrators.

    It doesn’t look good for Trump or the Right. Whites will have to be sacrificed to make any political headway. And then the base shrinks accordingly. Are the Repubs capable of a poll boosting, pirouette of a pivot before 2018? Probably not.

    If not, Janet will be right. Trump and the Right will be toast. Burnt toast.

      Uh, yeah, I know about that incident in Halifax — it was widely publicized. And you know what? I find the Proud Boys a great deal more threatening to me, my country, and our shared value system than I do indigenous people holding a ceremony. Members of the military need to recall that they work for the civilian authority, not vice versa.

      To anyone who doesn’t feel like reading the article, I’d just like to pull out a couple of choice facts. One, the indigenous people weren’t trying to pull down the statue of Cornwallis or demanding that it be removed; they were just holding a ceremony there. Second: Canada’s defence minister is a Sikh named Harjit Sajjan. Let’s all take a moment and savour that, shall we?

      How does it feel to have my country’s history denigrated? It feels terrible. For example, the Final Report of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission found that the Canadian government engaged in a policy of cultural genocide against native peoples.

        • akmofo August 20, 2017 at 8:06 am #

          No, Paul Craig Roberts didn’t answer anything, and I wouldn’t expect Paul Craig Roberts to provide any answers on anything. Paul Craig Roberts is a dumbass turkey that just repeats KGB/CIA Jesuit propaganda — basically, anti-American and anti-Israel drivel, hypocrisy and blatant lies. The same nihilist propaganda I referred to in my first post here. Nihilist propaganda that just saps the collective psyche and sows disillusion and discord in the population. The guy is an idiot scumbag and a racist.

          As for Jews, and differentiating between them: a handful of Jews does not equal “da Joos”. Jews are an extremely diverse group and you will find them all over the political and social divide. To talk about “da Joos” (or anybody else for that matter) as though they are some kind of a political and social monolith is pure racist nonsense. Racist nonsense that too many here all too often and all too freely (Note to JHK) engage at.

            The nihilist “KGB/CIA Jesuit propaganda” proceeds from an ideological Vatican organization made up of diverse peoples (including some hereditary “Jews”) who believe in collectivism, imperialism, globalism, and dominion over others. Their ideology is bad news for us all. Moreover, it is anti-Jewish!
            That is why I put them “Jews” in brackets. If they don’t follow the principles of the Torah and are anti-Jewish, obviously they are no longer Jews. They are anti-Jews with past hereditary ties to the Jewish nation, which they have severed by the stupidity of their actions.

    Boston Police manage to protect a Free Speech Rally against hordes of Leftist vermin trying to shut it down and/or tear them to shreds. At one point the Irish American mayor sent a tweet asking the scum to stop throwing urine bags at his officers.

    Now if Boston could do it, why couldn’t Cville? Perhaps their Jewish Mayor didn’t want to….

    The Day of Transfiguration of Jesus

    Transfiguration of Jesus from the point of view of the political history of arts – about things festive, but sad.

    First of all, the theme of the Transfiguration of the Lord is the focus of all other topics that today lead to a conflict between Russia and the United States, or rather the global West. Moreover, the West has already realized that the military advantage is not on its side and it is now trying to determine what will another Détente look like: the regrouping of the attack forces to prepare another blow in the back of luring into the next Afghanistan or the real revival of the Roosevelt America, which was a reliable ally of the USSR in the Second World War and was going to cooperate with the USSR after the war.

    Now very much depends on how successfully the recipe for victory in the new ideological war will be found, and the Party of War, whose mouthpiece is Foreign Policy magazine, does not waste any time:

    http://foreignpolicyjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/150814-Russo-American-Conflict-Bolton.pdf

    And the main weapon of the Party of War is heresy, which, if possible, they want to impose on the Russian Orthodox Church. The impression is that unlike Orthodox believers who believe that the Orthodox hierarchy is headed by the Patriarch, they know that Orthodoxy is Christianity, whose head is Christ, and that if the hierarchy falls into some kind of heresy, then the support of these “Orthodox” and this “church” by Christ will be under a big question.

    The saddest thing is that they manage to do this, because the Enteo escapade, on closer examination, is a small sprout of the new edition of heresy of iconoclasm, because the followers of Enteo as the main ruse of their vandalism put forward inadmissibility of Sidur’s depiction of Christ’s genitals.

    Namely, 1300 years ago, the iconoclasts started attacking real Orthodox Christians and we do not see such icons now because they were all destroyed by iconoclasts. Suffice to recall the words of the head of the iconophiles of the Patriarch of Constantinople Nicephorus, who he wrote in response to the attacks of iconoclasts:

    “How could Christ be crucified for our sins, if before that he could not be circumcised according to the Jewish custom?”

            That is a close call! Luckily it is a small space rock, but if it hit the Earth, it could cause a reasonable amount of damage (if it landed, say, in Manhattan). The issue is, what about next time with a bigger rock?

        Janos, did you ever get around to watching the BEA video featuring that magnificent White invention of automatic landing? You have to watch it the whole way through and I’ll tell you why.

        In 1968, the video was simply to promote the radical idea of an airliner that can land itself. Vitally important when landing in thick fog or extremely bad weather where visibility is zero.

        The reason the video is so important NOW in 2017 is NOT for the invention but, the Vedic idea of discovering the transcendent and beautiful White spirit of the times that the video is full of. The music track, the people, the images, the genius behind Auto Land,… all convey the unspoken idea that the U.K. was once WHITE and supremely blessed because of that. Only now is that crucial distinction visible to those with eyes to see.

        The Vedic aspect is like unto a clay pot. One can see just a clay pot but, a Realized Man will behold the CLAY itself. By understanding the CLAY, one can then understand everything made of clay, what can be made with the clay, and why it must by handled properly to get the best results.

        Similarly, one can see a video of the Trident’s Auto Land and see it in action. BUT, look past that and behold the WHITENESS of a healthy White people, acting in a healthy social manner, interacting in a White social space, and enjoying all the things that can ONLY come from a WHITE MIND that is not agitated or polluted by the janets of the world.

        Even the video creators chose good backdrop music to convey to the viewer that they are part of a civilization at its zenith and that the future is bright because the same genius that begat “Auto Land” can bring utopia within reach.

        Everything was in place to do that BUT, a CERTAIN UNMENTIONABLE GROUP decided to throw a turd into the vanilla milkshake and call it, Diversity Flavoring. Furthermore, all Whites are REQUIRED TO BUY IT with every meal they eat. Only janet could drink that toxic mess and call it delicious.

      Hell, I might get a warning for fighting back and calling out The Guilty for their part in this.

      The best way for Whites to learn how to weaponize rhetoric and make it powerful is to watch LOUIS FARRAKHAN videos! I watch a LOT of them to learn the art of how to craft fighting words and defiant speech that gets results.

      • beantownbill. August 20, 2017 at 3:15 pm #

        More accurate: meet the same swamp’s new spokesperson, old member, Trump.

        How could anyone expect anything different from billionaire Trump? Remember those pics of a smiling Donald with Hillary and Bill? I don’t understand how people can be so naive.

    An endless supply of distractions. How many true Black-hating, Jew-hating people are there in America, not counting those who just dislike them, but ultimately don’t care. One million? Two million? That’s well under 1% of the population. Yet we let these haters become headline news, taking up our national energy, when truly important survival issues are staring us in the face – e.g., see EF’s post above. Don’t say there’s nothing we can do, because that’s not true.

    Even so, go forward and live your life – AND – try to ignore the distractions. Focus on what’s real. Seek peace of mind; prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

      The ADL and SPLC say there are millions, if not tens of millions of them. Are you saying they’re shysters out for bucks?

    “To talk about “da Joos” (or anybody else for that matter) as though they are some kind of a political and social monolith is pure racist nonsense. Racist nonsense that too many here all too often and all too freely…”

    You did say “anybody else” which prompted my question as to whether the KGB/CIA Jesuits [ “an ideological Vatican organization made up of diverse peoples (including some hereditary “Jews”) who believe in collectivism, imperialism, globalism, and dominion over others” ] were “a political and social monolith” which makes it “pure racist nonsense”, according to you.

    Now, all that aside [ because it is nonsense ] let us consider this:

    “If they don’t follow the principles of the Torah and are anti-Jewish, obviously they are no longer Jews. They are anti-Jews with past hereditary ties to the Jewish nation, which they have severed by the stupidity of their actions.” and I would add – by rejecting the King of the Jews.

    When school starts up again in two or three weeks I propose that simultaneously, across the country, at, say, 11AM eastern time, all students, both high school and college, from freshman thru senior, and all the academic staffs (i.e. the teachers and professors) of these schools be given the following test with no prior warning (after having been stripped of all access to reference books and electronic devices). Each testee would be issued a ‘blue book’ and a ballpoint pen for writing their responses in cursive or print for those who do not ‘know’ cursive.

    The proctors administering these tests will explain that there are no right or wrong answers but that a representative statistical sample of test responses will be published in the country’s prominent newspapers and magazines.

    The directions/questions are:

    1. define Fascism
    2. define Nazism
    3. define White Supremacism
    4. define White Nationalism
    5. define racism
    6. are White Supremacism and White Nationalism the same thing and if not, how do they differ?

    I suspect the responses will be both pathetic and hilarious – Q.

    • JimInFlorida August 20, 2017 at 4:23 pm #

      Let’s also include:

      7. define Cloward-Piven
      8. define Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan
      9. define Black Supremacism
      10. define Black Nationalism
      11. define Black privilege
      12. are Integration and White Genocide the same thing? If not, how do they differ?

      Alright class, open up your English-language Talmuds and find what Jews say about non-Jews.

      It won’t be funny or hilarious by the time they get to the TOUGH QUESTIONS.

    • tucsonspur August 20, 2017 at 4:38 pm #

      I won’t take the test and skew the curve. It’s simply not fair.

      • tucsonspur August 20, 2017 at 5:03 pm #

        No curve? I still won’t take the test if not given enough time to elucidate what would be my thorough and complex responses. Not fair.

        11AM to…? Should be at least 11:30 AM. Same day. That okay.

    Inside Kenya’s Women-Only Village

    The Land of No Men:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrnmBLB-UX4

    This is probably a “Jewish operation?”

    They send these agents out to corrupt the healthy instincts of their host populations and destroy their ancient traditions; thereby making them easier to exploit and control. The presenter is probably a lesbian and hates men; on 3 separate occasions she baits these native women into attacking marriage.

    Thats all fine and well for her; she’s going back to London…

    But when the Muslims take over Kenya, its gonna be “game over” for their little “experiment” because no men will defend them; those with ability will lack the will, and those with will; will lack ability.

    The Jews wanna change everybody’s tradition except their own.

    Rumor has it all books on the Confederacy, bios of Lee, Jackson, Jefferson Davis etc., battle histories, political history and so on, to be banned public libraries, school libraries, college and university libraries, and bookstores. Any such books have been deemed counterrevolutionary and harmful; books on or about the Confederate States of America kept in private homes must be destroyed at once … failure to do so will be considered a crime against humanity.

        One of Trump’s main supporters, Alex Jones, draws attention to the fact that monuments are demolished only to those Confederate generals who stood on “Christian”, or rather Protestant positions, and the monuments to the Satanist-Illuminati confederates are carefully guarded.

        That is, Clinton’s supporters in order to overthrow Trump try to kindle a racial war, and Trump’s supporters opposing them, are fueling the religious war.

        And in my opinion, both of them no longer control this homunculus.

        16 April 1963
        My Dear Fellow Clergymen:
        While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities “unwise and untimely.” Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would have little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statement in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms.

        I think I should indicate why I am here in Birmingham, since you have been influenced by the view which argues against “outsiders coming in.” I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization operating in every southern state, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. We have some eighty five affiliated organizations across the South, and one of them is the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights. Frequently we share staff, educational and financial resources with our affiliates. Several months ago the affiliate here in Birmingham asked us to be on call to engage in a nonviolent direct action program if such were deemed necessary. We readily consented, and when the hour came we lived up to our promise. So I, along with several members of my staff, am here because I was invited here. I am here because I have organizational ties here.

        But more basically, I am in Birmingham because injustice is here. Just as the prophets of the eighth century B.C. left their villages and carried their “thus saith the Lord” far beyond the boundaries of their home towns, and just as the Apostle Paul left his village of Tarsus and carried the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the Greco Roman world, so am I compelled to carry the gospel of freedom beyond my own home town. Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid.

        Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial “outside agitator” idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds.

        You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations. I am sure that none of you would want to rest content with the superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes. It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more unfortunate that the city’s white power structure left the Negro community with no alternative.

        In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self purification; and direct action. We have gone through all these steps in Birmingham. There can be no gainsaying the fact that racial injustice engulfs this community. Birmingham is probably the most thoroughly segregated city in the United States. Its ugly record of brutality is widely known. Negroes have experienced grossly unjust treatment in the courts. There have been more unsolved bombings of Negro homes and churches in Birmingham than in any other city in the nation. These are the hard, brutal facts of the case. On the basis of these conditions, Negro leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers. But the latter consistently refused to engage in good faith negotiation.

        Then, last September, came the opportunity to talk with leaders of Birmingham’s economic community. In the course of the negotiations, certain promises were made by the merchants–for example, to remove the stores’ humiliating racial signs. On the basis of these promises, the Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth and the leaders of the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights agreed to a moratorium on all demonstrations. As the weeks and months went by, we realized that we were the victims of a broken promise. A few signs, briefly removed, returned; the others remained. As in so many past experiences, our hopes had been blasted, and the shadow of deep disappointment settled upon us. We had no alternative except to prepare for direct action, whereby we would present our very bodies as a means of laying our case before the conscience of the local and the national community. Mindful of the difficulties involved, we decided to undertake a process of self purification. We began a series of workshops on nonviolence, and we repeatedly asked ourselves: “Are you able to accept blows without retaliating?” “Are you able to endure the ordeal of jail?” We decided to schedule our direct action program for the Easter season, realizing that except for Christmas, this is the main shopping period of the year. Knowing that a strong economic-withdrawal program would be the by product of direct action, we felt that this would be the best time to bring pressure to bear on the merchants for the needed change.

        Then it occurred to us that Birmingham’s mayoral election was coming up in March, and we speedily decided to postpone action until after election day. When we discovered that the Commissioner of Public Safety, Eugene “Bull” Connor, had piled up enough votes to be in the run off, we decided again to postpone action until the day after the run off so that the demonstrations could not be used to cloud the issues. Like many others, we waited to see Mr. Connor defeated, and to this end we endured postponement after postponement. Having aided in this community need, we felt that our direct action program could be delayed no longer.

        You may well ask: “Why direct action? Why sit ins, marches and so forth? Isn’t negotiation a better path?” You are quite right in calling for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word “tension.” I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood. The purpose of our direct action program is to create a situation so crisis packed that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation. I therefore concur with you in your call for negotiation. Too long has our beloved Southland been bogged down in a tragic effort to live in monologue rather than dialogue.

        One of the basic points in your statement is that the action that I and my associates have taken in Birmingham is untimely. Some have asked: “Why didn’t you give the new city administration time to act?” The only answer that I can give to this query is that the new Birmingham administration must be prodded about as much as the outgoing one, before it will act. We are sadly mistaken if we feel that the election of Albert Boutwell as mayor will bring the millennium to Birmingham. While Mr. Boutwell is a much more gentle person than Mr. Connor, they are both segregationists, dedicated to maintenance of the status quo. I have hope that Mr. Boutwell will be reasonable enough to see the futility of massive resistance to desegregation. But he will not see this without pressure from devotees of civil rights. My friends, I must say to you that we have not made a single gain in civil rights without determined legal and nonviolent pressure. Lamentably, it is an historical fact that privileged groups seldom give up their privileges voluntarily. Individuals may see the moral light and voluntarily give up their unjust posture; but, as Reinhold Niebuhr has reminded us, groups tend to be more immoral than individuals.

        We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly, I have yet to engage in a direct action campaign that was “well timed” in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word “Wait!” It rings in the ear of every Negro with piercing familiarity. This “Wait” has almost always meant “Never.” We must come to see, with one of our distinguished jurists, that “justice too long delayed is justice denied.”

        We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God given rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence, but we still creep at horse and buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say, “Wait.” But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate filled policemen curse, kick and even kill your black brothers and sisters; when you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society; when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six year old daughter why she can’t go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see ominous clouds of inferiority beginning to form in her little mental sky, and see her beginning to distort her personality by developing an unconscious bitterness toward white people; when you have to concoct an answer for a five year old son who is asking: “Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?”; when you take a cross county drive and find it necessary to sleep night after night in the uncomfortable corners of your automobile because no motel will accept you; when you are humiliated day in and day out by nagging signs reading “white” and “colored”; when your first name becomes “nigger,” your middle name becomes “boy” (however old you are) and your last name becomes “John,” and your wife and mother are never given the respected title “Mrs.”; when you are harried by day and haunted by night by the fact that you are a Negro, living constantly at tiptoe stance, never quite knowing what to expect next, and are plagued with inner fears and outer resentments; when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of “nobodiness”–then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait. There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair. I hope, sirs, you can understand our legitimate and unavoidable impatience. You express a great deal of anxiety over our willingness to break laws. This is certainly a legitimate concern. Since we so diligently urge people to obey the Supreme Court’s decision of 1954 outlawing segregation in the public schools, at first glance it may seem rather paradoxical for us consciously to break laws. One may well ask: “How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?” The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that “an unjust law is no law at all.”

        Now, what is the difference between the two? How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law. Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority. Segregation, to use the terminology of the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber, substitutes an “I it” relationship for an “I thou” relationship and ends up relegating persons to the status of things. Hence segregation is not only politically, economically and sociologically unsound, it is morally wrong and sinful. Paul Tillich has said that sin is separation. Is not segregation an existential expression of man’s tragic separation, his awful estrangement, his terrible sinfulness? Thus it is that I can urge men to obey the 1954 decision of the Supreme Court, for it is morally right; and I can urge them to disobey segregation ordinances, for they are morally wrong.

        Let us consider a more concrete example of just and unjust laws. An unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. This is difference made legal. By the same token, a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow and that it is willing to follow itself. This is sameness made legal. Let me give another explanation. A law is unjust if it is inflicted on a minority that, as a result of being denied the right to vote, had no part in enacting or devising the law. Who can say that the legislature of Alabama which set up that state’s segregation laws was democratically elected? Throughout Alabama all sorts of devious methods are used to prevent Negroes from becoming registered voters, and there are some counties in which, even though Negroes constitute a majority of the population, not a single Negro is registered. Can any law enacted under such circumstances be considered democratically structured?

        Sometimes a law is just on its face and unjust in its application. For instance, I have been arrested on a charge of parading without a permit. Now, there is nothing wrong in having an ordinance which requires a permit for a parade. But such an ordinance becomes unjust when it is used to maintain segregation and to deny citizens the First-Amendment privilege of peaceful assembly and protest.

        I hope you are able to see the distinction I am trying to point out. In no sense do I advocate evading or defying the law, as would the rabid segregationist. That would lead to anarchy. One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty. I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.

        Of course, there is nothing new about this kind of civil disobedience. It was evidenced sublimely in the refusal of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to obey the laws of Nebuchadnezzar, on the ground that a higher moral law was at stake. It was practiced superbly by the early Christians, who were willing to face hungry lions and the excruciating pain of chopping blocks rather than submit to certain unjust laws of the Roman Empire. To a degree, academic freedom is a reality today because Socrates practiced civil disobedience. In our own nation, the Boston Tea Party represented a massive act of civil disobedience.

        We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was “legal” and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was “illegal.” It was “illegal” to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler’s Germany. Even so, I am sure that, had I lived in Germany at the time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers. If today I lived in a Communist country where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I would openly advocate disobeying that country’s antireligious laws.

        I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

        I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that law and order exist for the purpose of establishing justice and that when they fail in this purpose they become the dangerously structured dams that block the flow of social progress. I had hoped that the white moderate would understand that the present tension in the South is a necessary phase of the transition from an obnoxious negative peace, in which the Negro passively accepted his unjust plight, to a substantive and positive peace, in which all men will respect the dignity and worth of human personality. Actually, we who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.

        In your statement you assert that our actions, even though peaceful, must be condemned because they precipitate violence. But is this a logical assertion? Isn’t this like condemning a robbed man because his possession of money precipitated the evil act of robbery? Isn’t this like condemning Socrates because his unswerving commitment to truth and his philosophical inquiries precipitated the act by the misguided populace in which they made him drink hemlock? Isn’t this like condemning Jesus because his unique God consciousness and never ceasing devotion to God’s will precipitated the evil act of crucifixion? We must come to see that, as the federal courts have consistently affirmed, it is wrong to urge an individual to cease his efforts to gain his basic constitutional rights because the quest may precipitate violence. Society must protect the robbed and punish the robber. I had also hoped that the white moderate would reject the myth concerning time in relation to the struggle for freedom. I have just received a letter from a white brother in Texas. He writes: “All Christians know that the colored people will receive equal rights eventually, but it is possible that you are in too great a religious hurry. It has taken Christianity almost two thousand years to accomplish what it has. The teachings of Christ take time to come to earth.” Such an attitude stems from a tragic misconception of time, from the strangely irrational notion that there is something in the very flow of time that will inevitably cure all ills. Actually, time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more I feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity.

        You speak of our activity in Birmingham as extreme. At first I was rather disappointed that fellow clergymen would see my nonviolent efforts as those of an extremist. I began thinking about the fact that I stand in the middle of two opposing forces in the Negro community. One is a force of complacency, made up in part of Negroes who, as a result of long years of oppression, are so drained of self respect and a sense of “somebodiness” that they have adjusted to segregation; and in part of a few middle-class Negroes who, because of a degree of academic and economic security and because in some ways they profit by segregation, have become insensitive to the problems of the masses. The other force is one of bitterness and hatred, and it comes perilously close to advocating violence. It is expressed in the various black nationalist groups that are springing up across the nation, the largest and best known being Elijah Muhammad’s Muslim movement. Nourished by the Negro’s frustration over the continued existence of racial discrimination, this movement is made up of people who have lost faith in America, who have absolutely repudiated Christianity, and who have concluded that the white man is an incorrigible “devil.”

        I have tried to stand between these two forces, saying that we need emulate neither the “do nothingism” of the complacent nor the hatred and despair of the black nationalist. For there is the more excellent way of love and nonviolent protest. I am grateful to God that, through the influence of the Negro church, the way of nonviolence became an integral part of our struggle. If this philosophy had not emerged, by now many streets of the South would, I am convinced, be flowing with blood. And I am further convinced that if our white brothers dismiss as “rabble rousers” and “outside agitators” those of us who employ nonviolent direct action, and if they refuse to support our nonviolent efforts, millions of Negroes will, out of frustration and despair, seek solace and security in black nationalist ideologies–a development that would inevitably lead to a frightening racial nightmare.

        Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever. The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself, and that is what has happened to the American Negro. Something within has reminded him of his birthright of freedom, and something without has reminded him that it can be gained. Consciously or unconsciously, he has been caught up by the Zeitgeist, and with his black brothers of Africa and his brown and yellow brothers of Asia, South America and the Caribbean, the United States Negro is moving with a sense of great urgency toward the promised land of racial justice. If one recognizes this vital urge that has engulfed the Negro community, one should readily understand why public demonstrations are taking place. The Negro has many pent up resentments and latent frustrations, and he must release them. So let him march; let him make prayer pilgrimages to the city hall; let him go on freedom rides -and try to understand why he must do so. If his repressed emotions are not released in nonviolent ways, they will seek expression through violence; this is not a threat but a fact of history. So I have not said to my people: “Get rid of your discontent.” Rather, I have tried to say that this normal and healthy discontent can be channeled into the creative outlet of nonviolent direct action. And now this approach is being termed extremist. But though I was initially disappointed at being categorized as an extremist, as I continued to think about the matter I gradually gained a measure of satisfaction from the label. Was not Jesus an extremist for love: “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” Was not Amos an extremist for justice: “Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever flowing stream.” Was not Paul an extremist for the Christian gospel: “I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.” Was not Martin Luther an extremist: “Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise, so help me God.” And John Bunyan: “I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience.” And Abraham Lincoln: “This nation cannot survive half slave and half free.” And Thomas Jefferson: “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal . . .” So the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for hate or for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice? In that dramatic scene on Calvary’s hill three men were crucified. We must never forget that all three were crucified for the same crime–the crime of extremism. Two were extremists for immorality, and thus fell below their environment. The other, Jesus Christ, was an extremist for love, truth and goodness, and thereby rose above his environment. Perhaps the South, the nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.

        I had hoped that the white moderate would see this need. Perhaps I was too optimistic; perhaps I expected too much. I suppose I should have realized that few members of the oppressor race can understand the deep groans and passionate yearnings of the oppressed race, and still fewer have the vision to see that injustice must be rooted out by strong, persistent and determined action. I am thankful, however, that some of our white brothers in the South have grasped the meaning of this social revolution and committed themselves to it. They are still all too few in quantity, but they are big in quality. Some -such as Ralph McGill, Lillian Smith, Harry Golden, James McBride Dabbs, Ann Braden and Sarah Patton Boyle–have written about our struggle in eloquent and prophetic terms. Others have marched with us down nameless streets of the South. They have languished in filthy, roach infested jails, suffering the abuse and brutality of policemen who view them as “dirty nigger-lovers.” Unlike so many of their moderate brothers and sisters, they have recognized the urgency of the moment and sensed the need for powerful “action” antidotes to combat the disease of segregation. Let me take note of my other major disappointment. I have been so greatly disappointed with the white church and its leadership. Of course, there are some notable exceptions. I am not unmindful of the fact that each of you has taken some significant stands on this issue. I commend you, Reverend Stallings, for your Christian stand on this past Sunday, in welcoming Negroes to your worship service on a nonsegregated basis. I commend the Catholic leaders of this state for integrating Spring Hill College several years ago.

        But despite these notable exceptions, I must honestly reiterate that I have been disappointed with the church. I do not say this as one of those negative critics who can always find something wrong with the church. I say this as a minister of the gospel, who loves the church; who was nurtured in its bosom; who has been sustained by its spiritual blessings and who will remain true to it as long as the cord of life shall lengthen.

        When I was suddenly catapulted into the leadership of the bus protest in Montgomery, Alabama, a few years ago, I felt we would be supported by the white church. I felt that the white ministers, priests and rabbis of the South would be among our strongest allies. Instead, some have been outright opponents, refusing to understand the freedom movement and misrepresenting its leaders; all too many others have been more cautious than courageous and have remained silent behind the anesthetizing security of stained glass windows.

        In spite of my shattered dreams, I came to Birmingham with the hope that the white religious leadership of this community would see the justice of our cause and, with deep moral concern, would serve as the channel through which our just grievances could reach the power structure. I had hoped that each of you would understand. But again I have been disappointed.

        I have heard numerous southern religious leaders admonish their worshipers to comply with a desegregation decision because it is the law, but I have longed to hear white ministers declare: “Follow this decree because integration is morally right and because the Negro is your brother.” In the midst of blatant injustices inflicted upon the Negro, I have watched white churchmen stand on the sideline and mouth pious irrelevancies and sanctimonious trivialities. In the midst of a mighty struggle to rid our nation of racial and economic injustice, I have heard many ministers say: “Those are social issues, with which the gospel has no real concern.” And I have watched many churches commit themselves to a completely other worldly religion which makes a strange, un-Biblical distinction between body and soul, between the sacred and the secular.

        I have traveled the length and breadth of Alabama, Mississippi and all the other southern states. On sweltering summer days and crisp autumn mornings I have looked at the South’s beautiful churches with their lofty spires pointing heavenward. I have beheld the impressive outlines of her massive religious education buildings. Over and over I have found myself asking: “What kind of people worship here? Who is their God? Where were their voices when the lips of Governor Barnett dripped with words of interposition and nullification? Where were they when Governor Wallace gave a clarion call for defiance and hatred? Where were their voices of support when bruised and weary Negro men and women decided to rise from the dark dungeons of complacency to the bright hills of creative protest?”

        Yes, these questions are still in my mind. In deep disappointment I have wept over the laxity of the church. But be assured that my tears have been tears of love. There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love. Yes, I love the church. How could I do otherwise? I am in the rather unique position of being the son, the grandson and the great grandson of preachers. Yes, I see the church as the body of Christ. But, oh! How we have blemished and scarred that body through social neglect and through fear of being nonconformists.

        There was a time when the church was very powerful–in the time when the early Christians rejoiced at being deemed worthy to suffer for what they believed. In those days the church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society. Whenever the early Christians entered a town, the people in power became disturbed and immediately sought to convict the Christians for being “disturbers of the peace” and “outside agitators.”‘ But the Christians pressed on, in the conviction that they were “a colony of heaven,” called to obey God rather than man. Small in number, they were big in commitment. They were too God-intoxicated to be “astronomically intimidated.” By their effort and example they brought an end to such ancient evils as infanticide and gladiatorial contests. Things are different now. So often the contemporary church is a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. So often it is an archdefender of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the church’s silent–and often even vocal–sanction of things as they are.

        But the judgment of God is upon the church as never before. If today’s church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century. Every day I meet young people whose disappointment with the church has turned into outright disgust.

        Perhaps I have once again been too optimistic. Is organized religion too inextricably bound to the status quo to save our nation and the world? Perhaps I must turn my faith to the inner spiritual church, the church within the church, as the true ekklesia and the hope of the world. But again I am thankful to God that some noble souls from the ranks of organized religion have broken loose from the paralyzing chains of conformity and joined us as active partners in the struggle for freedom. They have left their secure congregations and walked the streets of Albany, Georgia, with us. They have gone down the highways of the South on tortuous rides for freedom. Yes, they have gone to jail with us. Some have been dismissed from their churches, have lost the support of their bishops and fellow ministers. But they have acted in the faith that right defeated is stronger than evil triumphant. Their witness has been the spiritual salt that has preserved the true meaning of the gospel in these troubled times. They have carved a tunnel of hope through the dark mountain of disappointment. I hope the church as a whole will meet the challenge of this decisive hour. But even if the church does not come to the aid of justice, I have no despair about the future. I have no fear about the outcome of our struggle in Birmingham, even if our motives are at present misunderstood. We will reach the goal of freedom in Birmingham and all over the nation, because the goal of America is freedom. Abused and scorned though we may be, our destiny is tied up with America’s destiny. Before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth, we were here. Before the pen of Jefferson etched the majestic words of the Declaration of Independence across the pages of history, we were here. For more than two centuries our forebears labored in this country without wages; they made cotton king; they built the homes of their masters while suffering gross injustice and shameful humiliation -and yet out of a bottomless vitality they continued to thrive and develop. If the inexpressible cruelties of slavery could not stop us, the opposition we now face will surely fail. We will win our freedom because the sacred heritage of our nation and the eternal will of God are embodied in our echoing demands. Before closing I feel impelled to mention one other point in your statement that has troubled me profoundly. You warmly commended the Birmingham police force for keeping “order” and “preventing violence.” I doubt that you would have so warmly commended the police force if you had seen its dogs sinking their teeth into unarmed, nonviolent Negroes. I doubt that you would so quickly commend the policemen if you were to observe their ugly and inhumane treatment of Negroes here in the city jail; if you were to watch them push and curse old Negro women and young Negro girls; if you were to see them slap and kick old Negro men and young boys; if you were to observe them, as they did on two occasions, refuse to give us food because we wanted to sing our grace together. I cannot join you in your praise of the Birmingham police department.

        It is true that the police have exercised a degree of discipline in handling the demonstrators. In this sense they have conducted themselves rather “nonviolently” in public. But for what purpose? To preserve the evil system of segregation. Over the past few years I have consistently preached that nonviolence demands that the means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek. I have tried to make clear that it is wrong to use immoral means to attain moral ends. But now I must affirm that it is just as wrong, or perhaps even more so, to use moral means to preserve immoral ends. Perhaps Mr. Connor and his policemen have been rather nonviolent in public, as was Chief Pritchett in Albany, Georgia, but they have used the moral means of nonviolence to maintain the immoral end of racial injustice. As T. S. Eliot has said: “The last temptation is the greatest treason: To do the right deed for the wrong reason.”

        I wish you had commended the Negro sit inners and demonstrators of Birmingham for their sublime courage, their willingness to suffer and their amazing discipline in the midst of great provocation. One day the South will recognize its real heroes. They will be the James Merediths, with the noble sense of purpose that enables them to face jeering and hostile mobs, and with the agonizing loneliness that characterizes the life of the pioneer. They will be old, oppressed, battered Negro women, symbolized in a seventy two year old woman in Montgomery, Alabama, who rose up with a sense of dignity and with her people decided not to ride segregated buses, and who responded with ungrammatical profundity to one who inquired about her weariness: “My feets is tired, but my soul is at rest.” They will be the young high school and college students, the young ministers of the gospel and a host of their elders, courageously and nonviolently sitting in at lunch counters and willingly going to jail for conscience’ sake. One day the South will know that when these disinherited children of God sat down at lunch counters, they were in reality standing up for what is best in the American dream and for the most sacred values in our Judaeo Christian heritage, thereby bringing our nation back to those great wells of democracy which were dug deep by the founding fathers in their formulation of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.

        Never before have I written so long a letter. I’m afraid it is much too long to take your precious time. I can assure you that it would have been much shorter if I had been writing from a comfortable desk, but what else can one do when he is alone in a narrow jail cell, other than write long letters, think long thoughts and pray long prayers?

        If I have said anything in this letter that overstates the truth and indicates an unreasonable impatience, I beg you to forgive me. If I have said anything that understates the truth and indicates my having a patience that allows me to settle for anything less than brotherhood, I beg God to forgive me.

        I hope this letter finds you strong in the faith. I also hope that circumstances will soon make it possible for me to meet each of you, not as an integrationist or a civil-rights leader but as a fellow clergyman and a Christian brother. Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear drenched communities, and in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.

        Yours for the cause of Peace and Brotherhood, Martin Luther King, Jr.

    In any event, massive ‘Confederate Book Burning’ on the Washington Mall later on this fall, semi trailers full of contraband books trucked in from all over the United States, doused with fuel oil, and set alight.

    A National Holiday is being declared: ‘Stop the Hate’ Day.

    And the event WILL be televised and streamed live.

    Of course, just because we are holding a national Confederate book burning event in DC doesn’t mean citizens cannot hold their own local Confederate book burnings in their home communities. To that end signs will be made available: ‘BOOKS BURNED HERE’

    DNC chair, the La Raza lawyer, and his vice chair Imam Keith Ellison request the identities of citizens who show less than sufficient enthusiasm for burning books about the confederacy be turned into DNC Headquarters.

    Fundamental Weakness of Liberals in US – the Lack of a Positive Scenario

    We are witnessing a very interesting process, the first stage of “recoil of the pendulum”.

    Yes, the liberal team is still very strong, but it showed a fundamental weakness – the lack of a positive scenario. The situation is clearly deteriorating (although the propaganda is pretending that everything is in order), but there is not the slightest idea what and how to do in this situation. Attempts to discuss the situation are also extremely limited, since the monopoly of liberal thought (in all social sciences) leads to the fact that anyone who tries to somehow move away from the “mainstream” is hounded by the liberal public (and cut off from funding).

    The trouble for liberals is that the situation continues to deteriorate, regardless of the mantras they utter. And in this situation, society begins to react more and more severely, especially since the election of such a non-systemic person as Trump.

    They constantly attack him, but whatever mistakes he made it becomes clear that his support group will not go anywhere and will just start promoting other people and grow in numbers.

    And, what is very important, the ideological mechanisms of “fine tuning” have ceased to work. It is already pointless to talk about how to make a career or make money (because they see that all this is no longer working) and it remains to beat the most basic ideological cliches.

    Create a system of mutual blackmail.

    Are you against racism? Prove it! Bring down the monument to General Lee, to the soldiers of the Confederate army and so on. And so the history is heavily distorted (well, who remembers that the main task of the Ku Klux Klan was to fight the Negro gangs that spread in the American South after the Civil War?), and now it takes phantasmagoric forms!

    Sailors are superstitious people, and when the destroyer “John McCain” collided today with a merchant ship, with 10 crew members missing and 5 seriously injured, everyone somehow remembered that Senator John McCain, as a pilot, fired a missile, almost sinking aircraft carrier “Forrestal”.

    Then, as a Senator, he prevented his comrades from returning from the Vietnamese captivity, obviously fearing that they could tell about his behavior in Hanoi Hilton.

    And recently, he successfully sunk the reform of health insurance.

    And although the destroyer is named so in honor of the grandfather and father of Russia’s great friend Senator McCain, the sailors are afraid to sail on a ship with this name and require either transfer to other ships or renaming the ship.

    Why? Thwack

    First of all, you shouldn’t respond to a question with a question that shows bad form.

    Secondly, the question I posed is more than valid. It goes directly to the heart of the debate about Confederate statues and their placement and or removal from the public space in the U.S.A. Particularly as it relates to the capital of the nation; a very special administrative district that is called the District of Columbia.

    Thirdly, the existence of the monument to this Confederate general, being in an outdoor venue in the Federal capital, is perplexing to say the least; that is unless one knows of the esoteric value of good old Albert Pike. He also happens to be buried in the crypt of the House of the Temple Masonic building that exists in a special place in the grid of D.C. as laid out by Pierre L’Enfant. Quite curious stuff – check it out for yourself…

    No one will be taking down his statue, and his bones will not be disinterred from the Masonic H.Q., ( at least not while the corporate United States of America is in existence.) Martial law would be declared first, should it be in danger, and I believe trespassers would be shot on sight.

    Why don’t you demand the Trotskyites over at Southern Poverty Law, Black Lives Matter, or Antifa to give it a whirl. They would probably wind up on a one-way flight to the Amazon basin for a very extended holiday.

    Beantown, we are in a quagmire in Afghanistan. We are bogged down..Those are swamp terms. In 2013 Trump said we should withdraw immediately. Now Trump is swamp manager, and under Trump’s management the Taliban is stronger than ever.

    It was easy to take pot shots at Obama in 2013. Now that Trump is in charge he is proving himself more inept than Obama. We would have been better off with Hillary.

    Afghanistan… Same swamp. New swamp manager is worse than the old swamp manager.

    LOL! Will this fake news book burning be before or after Obama takes away all our guns and we are put into FEMA camps?

      Before or after TRUMP takes away all our guns and puts us into his FEMA camps?

      When will Trump give us jobs, rebuild infrastructure, repeal Obamacare, etc. When will Trump keep his promises and “make America great again” for the basket of deplorables who voted for Trump and for the majority who wisely voted for HRC?

        Trump surrounded himself with Generals. For a smart guy, he seems to be clueless as to how someone becomes a General. These Generals have an allegiance to the Vatican/CIA mafia because that’s who made them who they are. The way out is to demolish the CIA (and the rest of the alphabet “security” agencies). The Kennedys tried to do that and it didn’t end too well for them. What’s needed is mass public awareness and exposure along with mass public protests demanding that these agencies and their assets be terminated. The public needs to learn the truth as to who really is running the US government and who they really serve.
