The Spell of Creve Coeur Lake

So they call the lake Creve Coeur, or Broken Heart.

The Spell of Creve Coeur Lake

Not far west of St. Louis the Lake of Creve Coeur dimples in the breezes that bend into its basin of hills, and there, in summer, swains and maidens go to confirm their vows, for the lake has the influence to strengthen love and reunite contentious pairs. One reason ascribed for the presence of this spell concerns a turbulent Peoria, ambitious of leadership and hungry for conquest, who fell upon the Chawanons at this place, albeit he was affianced to the daughter of their chief. The girl herself, enraged at the treachery of the youngster, put herself at the head of her band–a dusky Joan of Arc, and the fight waged so furiously that the combatants, what were left of them, were glad when night fell that they might crawl away to rest their exhausted bodies and nurse their wounds.

Neither tribe daring to invite a battle after that, hostilities were stopped, but some time later the young captain met the girl of his heart on the shore, and before the amazon could prepare for either fight or flight he had caught her in his arms. They renewed their oaths of fidelity, and at the wedding the chief proclaimed eternal peace and blessed the waters they had met beside, the blessing being potent to this day.

Another reason for the enchantments that are worked here may be that the lake is occupied by a demon-fish or serpent that crawls, slimy and dripping, through the underbrush, whenever it sees two lovers together, and listens to their words. If the man proves faithless he would best beware of returning to this place, for the demon is lurking there to destroy him. This monster imprisons the soul of an Ozark princess who flung herself into the lake when she learned that the son of the Spanish governor, who had vowed his love to her, had married a woman of his own rank and race in New Orleans. So they call the lake Creve Coeur, or Broken Heart. On the day after the suicide the Ozark chief gathered his men about him and paddled to the middle of the water, where he solemnly cursed his daughter in her death, and asked the Great Spirit to confine her there as a punishment for giving her heart to the treacherous white man, the enemy of his people. The Great Spirit gave her the form in which she is occasionally seen, to warn and punish faithless lovers.

How the crime was revealed-A Missouri legend.

Was it conscience, craziness, or fate?

How The Crime Was Revealed – A Missouri Legend

By Charles M. Skinner in 1896

In 1853 a peddler, whose pack was light and his purse was full, asked leave to pass the night at the house of Daniel Baker, near Lebanon, Missouri. The favor was granted, and that was the last seen of Samuel Moritz; although, when some neighbors shook their heads and wondered how it was that Baker was so well in funds, there were others who replied that it was impossible to keep track of peddlers, and that if Moritz wanted to start on his travels early in the morning, or to return to St. Louis for goods, it mattered to nobody.

On an evening in 1860 when there was a mist in the gullies and a new moon hung in the west, Reverend Cummings, a clergyman of that region, was driving home, and as he came to a bridge near “old man” Baker’s farm he saw a man standing on it, with a pack on his back and a stick in his hand, who was staring intently at something beneath the bridge.

The clergyman greeted him cheerily and asked him if he would like to ride, whereas the man looked him in the face and pointed to the edge of the bridge. Mr. Cummings glanced down, saw nothing, and when he looked up again the man with the pack had disappeared. His horse at the same moment gave a snort and plunged forward at a run, so that the clergyman’s attention was fully occupied until he had brought the animal under control again; when he glanced back and saw that the man was still standing in the bridge and looking over the edge of it.

The minister told his neighbors of this adventure, and on returning with two of them to the spot next morning they found the body of old man Baker swinging by the neck from a beam of the bridge exactly beneath where the apparition had stood–for it must have been an apparition, inasmuch as the dust, damped though it had been with dew, showed no trace of footprint.

In taking down the body the men loosened the earth on a shelving bank, and the gravel rolling away disclosed a skeleton with some bits of clothing on it that were identified as belongings of Samuel Moritz. Was it conscience, craziness, or fate that led old man Baker to hang himself above the grave of his victim?

Cold Anger

Cold Anger does not gloat; it absorbs consistent vilification and ridicule as fuel.

There’s a level of anger far deeper and more consequential than expressed rage or visible behavior, it’s called Cold Anger.

Cold Anger does not need to go to violence. For those who carry it, no conversation is needed when we meet. You cannot poll or measure it; specifically, because most who carry it avoid discussion. And that decision has nothing whatsoever to do with any form of correctness.

Cold Anger absorbs betrayal silently, often prudently.

Cold Anger is not hatred, it is far more purposeful.

Cold Anger takes notice of the liars, even from a great distance – seemingly invisible to the mob. Cold Anger will still hold open the door for the riot goer. Mannerly.

Cold Anger evidenced is more severe because it is more strategic, and more purposeful.

Cold Anger does not gloat; it absorbs consistent vilification and ridicule as fuel. This sensibility does not want to exist, it is forced to exist in otherwise unwilling hosts – we also refuse to be destabilized by it.

Cold Anger is not driven to act in spite of itself; it drives a reckoning.

Cold Anger perceives deception the way the long-term battered absorb a blow in the hours prior to the pre-planned exit; with purpose.

Food as a Weapon

those who made good use of their resources could be largely self supporting, coalescing into tribes, forming families with neighbors and partying like it was 1319.

The US has historically used food as part of carrot-and-stick diplomacy, or said differently, bribes. During the Second World War, Great Britain and the Soviet Union relied crucially on American food, assuring a measure of their dependency in power negotiations. Germany, and particularly Japan, were nearly US territories after the war, both would have starved without prompt delivery of American food in quantity.

Wars are generally about food. Ancient Rome imported its food and fought epic wars to develop new sources and keep the ones it had. Medieval fiefdoms were agricultural enterprises, raiding their neighbors was common. The westward expansion of America in the nineteenth century was about food and the means to move it, as was Japan’s expanding empire in the early twentieth century. Germany explicitly cited food production to justify its aggression in the east. Their rants about fighting Bolshevism was pep rally stuff, Nazism itself was excessively patriotic Marxism.

History and cold calculation suggest food would be a weapon in a Civil War II, one of many, but of prime importance long term. Civil wars have long gestations, go kinetic suddenly and get complicated in a hurry. We have no firm knowledge what would set it off, who would be actively involved or how it would end. But the outlines are repeated well enough to guide our preparations.

The ruling class already treats middle America as this century’s Untermensch. Nothing is off the table in a civil war. Seizing the nation’s food would be an obvious move. Expect them to deploy troops to secure big ag and the necessary transportation facilities, destroy anyone who got in their way and terrorize potential troublemakers. But there’s a limit to even the deep state’s resources. Prudent survivalists in the far hills wouldn’t warrant their attention, they’d be more likely to trade shots with desperados than find themselves in a firefight with regular forces.

Food is the indispensable survival prep. At minimum this means a secure long-term stash of high calorie food sufficient to outlast the initial violence and privation without relying on resupply. Call it a year, maybe two.

Famine is a given in contemporary civil war. Those embedded in interior cities have no chance, so, next item. The ruling class would continue to work against middle America’s existence. As said above, they’d confiscate local stores of food on a continuing basis, seize major food producing areas intact and grab the needed transportation facilities. Make no mistake, their hirelings would be granted license for absolute ruthlessness. Free fire zones and minefields are not off the table. Skilled labor, if otherwise unwilling, would be arrested and compelled to work.

Feeding their base would guarantee the loyalty of supporters, inflict mass death on the deplorables by ‘no cost’ neglect and keep armed confrontation largely confined to flyover country. But note, as said here before, this is a precarious solution. The coastal megacities are fed from the outside by vulnerable arteries passing through what would be hostile territory. In the end, feeding them would stutter and fail. Even now they’re cauldrons of seething hatred, barely repressed, often organized. With real scarcity and hardship they’d fall on each other and tear the place apart.

Privation, disease, hunger, murderous chaos and high intensity combat would likely peak in the second year. This is the knothole which would separate the survivalists from dabblers and hopeful idealists. In the years that follow, when the maelstrom had largely exhausted itself and the situation clarified, those who made good use of their resources could be largely self supporting, coalescing into tribes, forming families with neighbors and partying like it was 1319.

Well placed and practiced survivalists could get by on a onesey-twosey basis. Two may survive where one wouldn’t. Three or four may be better, assuming an adequate reserve of food and supplies. With more than four the liabilities are likely to outweigh the advantages.

Be a survivor. The who and what of a civil war would matter only occasionally. Food would matter every hour of every week. Stack food high, wide and deep where it’s secure from looters and confiscation. Backup your stash with an MRE fallback stash. Stack seeds, garden tools, fishing and hunting gear to be prepared for self-resupply opportunities. Calories are life.

Transgender policy in America

The goal of the LGBTQ ideology is not to help a child or adult who is going through confusion regarding gender. It is to do away with the understanding of the factual existence of Males and Females.

Jack Martin

A very serious deception challenges the very moral culture of our nation. The 60’s ushered in the if it feels good do it mentality. Colleges began to indoctrinate, rather than educate back then. And we are now reaping the fruit of that in every aspect of our culture.

Through out history Homosexuality was considered abnormal sexual relationships, until the 60’s illegal in almost every state in our nation. Sodomy defined as sin as stated in the Bible. But with the sexual revolution that began to change, combined with the total destruction of the Biblical family of Father Mother, husband wife roles.

With time the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual movement has expanded to the place where most of America can repeat LGBTQ. But as dangerous as the first three letters in that are, its the fourth, Transgender that perhaps poses the most danger. For years we heard Christians don’t believe in Science.

Issues like global warming, abortion, etc was echoed through liberal gatherings.

But time and scientific discovery have debunked both the extreme global warming views, and the point in which a life begins in the womb. 4D ultrasounds clearly show a viable living child, not a tissue blob. Evidence shows the point where pain is felt. But when it comes to gender dysphoria, that defies all logic.

Biology teaches 2 sexes, and I will call them 2 genders. Even in our languages, we refer to Masculine gender, Feminine gender, and Neuter gender. The latter referring clearly to inanimate items, not people. XY was always a male, XX was always a female. But now we say gender is different, its what you feel like. Forgive my honesty but that is insane.

Research shows that 98 percent of boys and 88 percent of girls who go through a period of dysphoria in their puberty years come back to full agreement with their biological sex by or near their 18 birthday. With the frontal lobe of the brain, not being fully developed until some time near age 25.

We don’t find it strange that a child during those years will one day be a firefighter, and the next a doctor or lawyer, and yet when a child has confusion caused by any number of natural or event induced feelings we want to rush to change their so called gender pronouns, clothing, and begin medications to begin a change in their development. When they are legally qualified we rush to have gender re assignment surgery. And then when they continue to be confused and depressed and commit suicide, we blame it on those who tried to warn them.

In many states it is illegal to counsel a person back to a Biblical or or heterosexual mindset. Even has a growing number of transitioned individuals are de-transitioning back to their biological sex.

The goal of the LGBTQ ideology is not to help a child or adult who is going through confusion regarding gender. It is to do away with the understanding of the factual existence of Males and Females. It is a direct assault on Gods declaration that He created mankind male and female with the intent that they marry for a lifetime and procreate. Replenishing the earth.

When quality research shows gender dysphoria for what it is, a state of confusion for a multitude of possible reasons, the LGBTQ supporters simply resort to names like homophobe, hater, or they falsely show bogus research that they claim discredit true evidence.

Teachers are forced in schools ( Pasco County Florida presently ) to use false pronouns, and false names to identify students. They are threatened if they wont oversee such things as girls in boys locker rooms. ( See ProtectPascoChildren.org ) and in regards to sports, girls are wrongly positioned to lose sports scholarships, championship honors, or even suffer horrible injuries at the hands of boys who are confused over their gender.

This battle will shape the future of our nation, and our Supreme Court will ultimately decide. Pray for them to love mercy, do justly and walk humbly before the Lord.

The Deep State is real…and it IS watching you

We were hoping that President Donald Trump’s promise to “drain the swamp” would involve the firing (or indictment and conviction) of rogue members of the deep state who couldn’t care less about the Constitution and run their agencies like their own unaccountable fiefdoms.

So far, the president has managed to cut back on a lot of regulations and reign in otherwise benign agencies from implementing willy-nilly all sorts of onerous new regulations that cost businesses and consumers lots of money but don’t really accomplish much other than to make government bigger.

But the real deep state power lies in the intelligence and law enforcement agencies, and they continue to run roughshod over statutory law and our basic rights as Americans.

As reported by CPO Magazine, that includes the FBI — yes, the same one Barack Obama politicized and James Comey ran:

According to a new declassified ruling from the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), FBI personnel systematically abused National Security Agency (NSA) mass surveillance data in both 2017 and 2018. The 138-page ruling, which dates back to October 2018, was only unsealed 12 months later in October 2019. It offers a rare look at how the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been abusing the constitutional privacy rights of U.S. citizens with alarming regularity. The court ruling is also a stinging rebuke to the FBI’s overreach of its ability to search surveillance intelligence databases.

This could be the FISA court’s ‘revenge,’ so to speak, for being taken advantage of by the Comey-run FBI in which judges on the court were allegedly intentionally mislead by FBI agents seeking surveillance warrants for 2016 Trump campaign officials — over bogus “Russian collusion” charges.

CPO Magazine noted the key elements of the FISA court ruling:

— Judges found that FBI employees improperly searched data that had been collected under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

— Those abuses amounted to accessing NSA surveillance data so FBI analysts and employees could examine the online communications of Americans, to include family members and fellow FBI employees.

— In all, the FISA court suspects there were thousands of improper queries made, which were done without any reasonable suspicion or expectation of a crime or risk to national security.

— The improper searches also did not delineate between foreign intelligence targets and U.S. citizens.

If we can’t trust our intelligence community we are in serious trouble

The FISA court itself operates in secret; it must because it operates as part of the intelligence community and examines secret evidence in making a determination as to whether or not to grant federal agents surveillance warrants.

But the court most often hears cases regarding foreign surveillance targets — not Americans, which isn’t unheard of, just rare. What makes this ruling all the more significant is the fact that the court came down on a federal agency — even more rare.

“Simply put,” CPO Magazine noted, “the data was available to search, and the FBI willingly took advantage of every opportunity to query the NSA database. For example, FBI employees routinely used mass surveillance data to investigate potential witnesses and informants.”

In 2017, the FBI conducted more than 3.1 million searches of that surveillance data compared to a paltry 7,500 searches combined by the NSA and CIA. That’s really problematic, officials note, because the surveillance data is only supposed to be accessed and searched if there is a reasonable suspicion of crimes underway or a clear national security risk.

There is also this. Americans have to be able to trust government officials in the FBI, CIA, and NSA because nearly all of their work is conducted in secret, with only moderate congressional oversight.

The FISA court got burned by James Comey’s FBI — obviously more than once, and who knows for how many years.

Raising Competent Kids in an Incompetent World

It’s probably no surprise that the young people of today aren’t particularly independent. Not only does the “education” system take great pains to mold them into a bunch of terrified, follow-the-herd automatons, society, in general, doesn’t force them to do much for themselves either.

By Daisy Luther

I’ll never forget when my oldest daughter came home for summer vacation after her first year of college. She told me that her younger sister, age 13 at the time, was much more mature and competent than many of the kids in her student apartment building. “I had to show a bunch of them how to do laundry and they didn’t even know how to make a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese,” she said.

Apparently they were likewise in awe of her ability to cook actual food that did not originate in a pouch or box, her skills at changing a tire, her knack for making coffee using a French press instead of a coffee maker, and her ease at operating a washing machine and clothes dryer.

One girl, she told me, kept coming to my daughter’s apartment for tea and finally my daughter said, “I can’t afford to keep giving you all my tea. You’re going to have to make your own tea in your apartment. The girls said sadly that she couldn’t because she didn’t have a tea kettle. She was gobsmacked when my daughter explained how to boil water in a regular cooking pot for making tea.

At long last, my daughter admitted that even though she thought I was being mean at the time I began making her do things for herself, she’s now glad that she possesses those skills. Hers was also the apartment that had everything needed to solve everyday problems: basic tools, first aid supplies, OTC medicine, and home remedies.

This got me thinking about how life will be when disaster eventually strikes.

If the country is populated by a bunch of people who can’t even cook a box of macaroni and cheese when their stoves function at optimum efficiency, and who can’t figure out how to make something as simple as tea in a different cooking vessel, how on earth will they sustain themselves when they have to not only acquire their food, but must use off-grid methods to prepare it? How can someone who requires an instruction manual to operate a digital thermostat hope to keep warm when their home environment it controlled by wood they have collected and fires they have lit with it?

And honestly, we can’t just blame the young people of today. We know that these types of skills aren’t taught in school, so where have their parents been? Why hasn’t this generation been taught to cook, clean, problem-solve, and handle money? People often praise my kids for being competent but the things they do should not be that unusual. If you never give a kid responsibility or show them how to create a workaround, how do you expect them to magically be able to “adult” just because they hit some arbitrary age?

Let’s look at some less dramatic, but more likely, situations. This isn’t even about prepping, per se, but about life skills.

Job Loss

In the current economy, it might not even be as cut and dried as job loss – the new generation may never find work at all. When you have little-to-no money, cost-cutting efforts in order to get by requires certain skills and adaptations to stay fed and clean. Your kids need to know how to:

Cook inexpensive, nutritious meals from scratch using pantry basics
Do laundry by hand and hang it to dry
Get from point A to point B using public transit or – gasp – by walking
Budget limited money so that the most important things are paid first
Mend and repair items instead of replacing them

Power Outage Due to Natural Disaster

We’ve all seen the aftermath of hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and super storms. California just lost power for over a week to “prevent” wildfires.

Your kids should be able to:

Keep warm, whether that means safely operating an indoor propane heater, using the wood stove/fireplace, or bundling up in a tent and sleeping bags in the living room
Keep fed – they should have enough supplies on hand that they can stay fed at home for at least two weeks without leaving the house: cereal, powdered milk, granola bars, canned fruit, etc.
Keep safe – they need to understand when it’s dangerous to go out and about and they need to have basic self-defense and weapons-handling skills.
As well, they need to understand the dangers of off-grid heating and cooking, such as the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in un-ventilated rooms, and to know how to lessen these risks.

Illness and Injury

This can happen anywhere at any time. Keeping a cool head when someone is ill or injured is the absolute most important step towards a good outcome. My kids both took babysitting courses and First Aid courses to further their money-making abilities as young teens, but the skills learned there go much further than bandaging a toddler’s scraped knee. Kids should:

Take a course in First Aid, CPR, and anything else applicable that is offered. The more you know, the calmer you are able to remain during a crisis.
Have a good basic First Aid kit and know how to use everything in it. Yes, that means “wasting” a few supplies by tearing them open and going through the use of them.
Know some home remedies for various common illnesses: teas for tummy aches, treatment for flu symptoms, how to soothe skin irritations, and how to care for a fever.
Have some basic over the counter medications on hand, like pills for diarrhea, pills for indigestion, and pain relievers.

Automotive Safety

An astonishing number of young adults don’t know how to drive. Fewer people than ever are getting their driver’s licenses.

Back when I was a kid, the most exciting thing in my teenage life was getting behind the wheel of a car, getting a learner’s permit when I was fourteen, and having that permit turn into a real driver’s license on my 16th birthday. This was freedom, baby!

Now, many kids couldn’t care less if they ever learn how to drive. Instead, they rely on public transit or friends and family members that drive. It’s one thing if you live in a major metropolitan area, but in places with lower populations, it seems that this is a vital skill. In order to transport yourself to work and school, or to help out in the event of an emergency, it seems to me that kids should know how to:

Drive. Not only an automatic transmission but also a standard transmission
Change a tire. You don’t want your teenage daughter stranded on the side of the road at the mercy of whoever stops to help. My daughter was not allowed to drive the car until she demonstrated her ability to change the tire with the factory jack.
Perform minor maintenance, like checking the oil and fluid levels, filling up the washer fluid, checking tire pressures and topping them up if needed, and changing the windshield wiper blades. I have a background in the automotive industry, so I also taught my daughter how to change the oil, which is nice to know, but not absolutely necessary.

And finally, what about day-to-day life skills?

I was truly surprised when my daughter told me about the lack of life skills her friends have. I always thought maybe I was secretly lazy and that was the basis on my insistence that my girls be able to fend for themselves. But it honestly prepared them for life far better than if I was a hands-on mom that did absolutely everything for them. They needed to realize that clothing does not get worn and then neatly reappear on a hanger in the closet, ready to be worn again. They need to understand that meals do not magically appear on the table, created by singing appliances ala Beauty and the Beast.

Here are some of the life skills that kids should have gained before leaving the nest:

How to use basic tools for repairs
How to cook a healthy meal
How to grocery shop within a budget and have healthy food for the week ahead
Speaking of that, how to budget in general, so that they don’t have “too much month and not enough money”
How to clean
How to do laundry, including stain removal
How to think for themselves and question authority
How to manage their time to get necessary tasks accomplished by the deadlines
How to tell the difference between a want and a need
How to be frugal with utilities and consumable goods
How to pay bills
How to stay out of debt (not easy with the college credit card racket that you see on campuses across the country and rampant student loans)

Competent kids turn into competent adults.

The more they practice these things under your watchful eye, the more competent they will be when they set out on their own. We all want our kids to be successful and independent and this is on us as parents. Don’t allow your kids to become crippled by a world that babies them in the name of convenience.

What are some of the skills you’ve taught your kids to prepare them for the real world? Have you witnessed some young adults who seem to be struggling to handle real life? Let’s talk about it in the comments.

Against all enemies

I, (state name of enlistee), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

By Lee Cary —— October 2, 2019

America’s domestic enemies are the Democratic Party and its allies

Those who’ve taken the oath remember it as a rite of passage.

Inside a military induction center, in the company of strangers in civilian clothes, with a few military personnel in uniform, a commanding voice orders the civilians to line up single file outside the door, to an empty room, displaying the national flag.

The door opens, the civilians file in, and, in equal increments, peel off to form a block of rows where they are called to attention for the first of many times to come.

When directed, they raise their right hands and repeat, phrase by phrase, these words:

I, (state name of enlistee), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.”

For many of the oath-takers, other important and memorable oaths will be taken in their lives. Like wedding vows, and their oath to “tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” in a court of law. But, for those who take this oath, no other will be more memorable.

The oath originated during the American Revolutionary War. It was altered in 1789. Then, later, it was amended, on 5 May 1960, during the Cold War.

On 5 October 1962, the newest words took effect. The oath-takers pledged to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”.

The “enemies” are unnamed. For while the oath is fixed in place, the enemies change over time.

The leading foreign enemies of the 20th Century were clear. The Empire of Japan. The Third Reich. Then the USSR, the Peoples’ Republic of China and the Korean War. Followed by an episode of the Cold War turned hot in Vietnam.

The domestic enemies—those inside our borders—were Soviet spies, many known to exist but identified only by their code names, particularly in the era of nuclear arms development. Later came spies from the Peoples’ Republic of China entering America as foreign students in U.S. universities, not just searching for state secrets but for industrial secrets enabling the theft of intellectual property.

Today, the leading domestic enemies of the U.S. Constitution are not dispatched to America from foreign shores. They were born in the USA. English is their first language.

They include Government Service employees in the U.S. “intelligence community”— a soft moniker for a hard bunch. Not all of them, of course. But enough to matter.

Some act openly, others are clandestine operators. They designed and staffed the Trump-Russian Hoax operation. We know the field leaders, many of them, but we can’t yet prove who authorized their mission. And we may never be able to document who gave the “go,” and when.

The field trade craft doesn’t appear to have relied on the standard pedestrian techniques like dead drops, brush passes, or one-time pads.

They used other espionage tools against the Executive Branch of their own government: black propaganda, cut-outs, even a swallow—many of the standard tools were used one time or another during the Trump-Russian Hoax by GS-rated personnel and a few agency stringers, operating under the guise of the “intelligence community”. A harmless sounding label conveying the image of block parties, pot-luck suppers and book clubs. A family affair.

In their efforts to overthrow a President, the “intelligence community” solidly earned the designation of a domestic enemy of the U.S. Constitution.

The role of liberal media newsrooms as domestic enemies is, also, well-established. Akin to the Nazi-controlled newspapers Vőlkischer Beobachter, Der Angriff and Boersen Zeitung, they toe the Democrat Party line under the banners of the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, et al.

On the internet, they edit POLITICO, Daily Kos and Mother Jones where news means spreading each new narrative defined by the thought leaders of the American Left. Facts and truth matter not. Today there is no “news”.

The most modern invention in political propaganda is practiced by the censors, and with the logarithms, of big social media and search engine outlets: e.g., Facebook, Twitter and Google. Domestics enemies of the U.S. Constitution.

Among their various campaigns are open borders, unhindered access to lethal drugs, unlimited abortions, unenforced laws, unbounded genders.

Identity politics is a propaganda tool for torquing disorder leading toward the reformation of the old civil order by spreading incivility.

Their agenda, once heralded as fundamental transformation of America by a former U.S. President, is fundamental deformation of American society. Tear down the old to bring on the new.

Their end-game goal is the optimization of federal power – which they will control because they know best—over the citizenry.

Elsewhere in time and place, they’ve used other labels—Communism, Fascism, Socialism – but it always comes down to control over people. How they live. Where they work. What they read. What they think. What they own.

The Politburo, the Stasi, the Gestapo, the Communist Party, the Central Planning Committee—same play, different actors.

And now we have the newest rendition of control being directed from the hive of America’s leading domestic enemy—free stuff for everyone funded by confiscating the property of the rich.

Today, the domestic enemies of the U.S. Constitution live in our midst as the Democratic Party and its allies.

They put on a clown show, but we had better take them seriously. For they are not joking.

Intellectual Froglegs

The Last Straw

Feel-Good Laws are Getting Us Killed..and it’s our fault.

It is uncomfortable to look at evil. We’ve all felt that. We were so afraid of bad feelings that we passed laws to make us feel better. We can blame our politicians for passing feel-good laws, but the people we elected were doing what we told them to do. We made a mistake and we got people killed. It would feel horrible to sit and let this happen again.

Reblogged from Slow Facts

We are responsible for our actions. No one questions my responsibility if I’m negligent and hit you with my car. Are we also responsible for how someone feels? Does it injure you if I fly the US flag? How about if I own a gun or carry that gun in a place you find uncomfortable? We can pass laws that makes us feel better, but what should we do when these comfort-laws hurt people? Whose feelings take priority? It may seem unfair, but let me resort to facts for a minute.

Politicians do anything to win votes. They will pass any law that sounds good and makes us feel better. Politicians lie to us and say they’ve made things better even when they made things worse. That lead to a number of laws we see today.

We’re frightened by the thought of a murderer coming to our church, so politicians passed laws saying guns aren’t allowed at church. We’re horrified that a murderer would come to our child’s school. Politicians passed laws saying law-abiding people can’t bring guns to school. We don’t want people to get drunk when they are carrying a gun, so politicians passed laws that disarm law abiding people when they go to a bar. Those laws let us feel better, but did those laws make us safer? You know the answer. You’ve seen the answer, and you remember how it feels.

Isaiah 5:20Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

We passed a law so we could feel safe when we pray. In theory, our feel-good law stopped a criminal from bringing a gun into a church or a synagogue. In practice, murderers are not stopped by plastic signs. In practice, the law disarmed the flock and the shepherds. We saw the horrible results last year at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. We saw the result this year at a synagogue in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. We got what we asked for, but not what we wanted.

In theory, our feel-good laws will stop a criminal from bringing a gun into a bar. In practice, our laws disarmed the designated driver. We also disarmed the designated defender. In practice, the gun-free-zone at the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, California disarmed a half-dozen law enforcement officers who were at the bar when it was it was attacked. That law certainly didn’t work the way we wanted. Our laws made things worse rather than making them better. That feels awful. The solution isn’t to put up bigger plastic signs. The solution is to let people protect themselves.

In theory, we’ve protected our schools with a school resource officer and a plastic sign that says no-guns-allowed. That fails too often. Murderers go to our school to kill our children. Our defense has to be where ever our children are. It feels uncomfortable for us to think of someone attacking our children, but ignoring the problem feels worse. The good news is that lots of teachers want to protect “their kids.” I know because I’ve met them. I’ve listened to them.

“Better a cruel truth than a comfortable delusion.”

Fortunately, we have the power to fix it. Here is a link to call your elected representatives. Tell them how you feel about disarming the victims in gun-free-zones. You’ll feel better after you call.
