The Agenda — Part Five

There has been a long-term agenda to change these United States from the conception birthed by our Founding Fathers to something where the power elite control the “Great Unwashed” through the cooperation and demands of the rank and file sheep of the flock. Some parts of the agenda span only a few years while others take over a century to unfold. You might call it a “ten-point program”, a “new world order” or “hope and change”. Over the next two weeks the plan will be presented in no particular order.

The Plan01

The Plan- Part five: Push “Beneficial Globalization” as the way toward universal peace. Demonize sovereignty as isolationism. Push artificial constructs such as “climate change”; “debt crisis”; “financial crisis/market meltdown” and “Human rights” vs “property rights”.

One world government refers to the idea of a central government whose authority extends across the entirety of this planet. The idea is generally that the many countries of the world would join together in a federation under one central government with no borders.

The most common proponents of this idea adhere to “progressive internationalism.” Commonly, they believe in a strengthened United Nations evolving into a world government.

They propose that the UN be supplemented with a directly elected parliamentary assembly, to give the UN authority independent of member states. They support international law as paramount over national law, and see it evolving into a single global legal system, with individual citizens having direct access to international courts with the power to overrule national legislation.

Proponents of world government  see world government as the definitive solution to old and new human problems such as war and the development of weapons of mass destruction, global poverty and inequality, and environmental degradation.

It is common in fiction for the bad guys to lose and the good guys to win.

It is how most folks would like to see the world – just and fair. In psychology the tendency to believe this is how the real world actually works is a known cognitive bias called the Just-World Fallacy.

The proponents of  “progressive internationalism”believe that politics is about the government providing services, regulating activity, or redistributing wealth to secure social welfare. The paradigm is power flowing from the government down to the governed.

The United States, however, as outlined by the authors of the Federalist Papers, Hamilton, Madison, and Jay were concerned about how best to secure the rights of the people, and how to make sure that governments and people did not endanger those rights.

For the Framers of the Constitution the science of politics and the practice of politics were all about how to distribute power within the government in order to preserve private property, individual rights, and the rule of law which secured both.

The globalists insist that all nations should unite and thereby be governed by “Man’s better angels“, (directed by the elite globalists, of course).

In The Federalist No. 51, arguably the most important one of all, James Madison wrote in defense of a proposed national constitution that would establish a structure of “checks and balances between the different departments” of the government and, as a result, constrain the government’s oppression of the public. Madison penned the following paragraph, which comes close to being a short course in political science:

“The great security against a gradual concentration of the several powers in the same department, consists in giving to those who administer each department the necessary constitutional means and personal motives to resist encroachments of the others.

The provision for defense must in this, as in all other cases, be made commensurate to the danger of attack. Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place.

It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.

In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.”

To surrender our sovereign freedoms enjoyed under the Constitution for the promised utopian ideal of a beneficial global state is to willingly relinquish the republic our Founding Fathers and so many of our forebears fought, bled and died for… for what? a THE STATE: a monopoly operating ultimately by threat or actual use of violence, making rules for and extracting tribute from the residents of the territory it controls.

The Agenda – Part Four

The PATRIOT Act only benefits Wall Street, the banks, large corporations and the U.S. Government, not mainstream America.

There has been a long-term agenda to change these United States from the conception birthed by our Founding Fathers to something where the power elite control the “Great Unwashed” through the cooperation and demands of the rank and file sheep of the flock. Some parts of the agenda span only a few years while others take over a century to unfold. You might call it a “ten-point program”, a “new world order” or “hope and change”. Over the next two weeks the plan will be presented in no particular order.

The Plan01

The Plan – Part Four: Bring National Security to the forefront of public consciousness.

On September 11, 2001 America was fundamentally changed with the attack on the World Trade Center in New York. Our way of life, our fundamental relationship with our government and, in many ways, our way of looking at the freedoms and liberties we took for granted fell like the facades of the Twin Towers.

We were angry and confused and frightened. Many of our fellow citizens demanded that the government “DO SOMETHING”… and, most unfortunately, it did. FEMA morphed from a civilian defense agency to the “Reich-like” stepchild called the Department of Homeland Security. The politicians on both sides of the aisle, realizing they couldn’t look smart so they should at least look busy followed the old Groucho Marx quote that said:“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.”
Their misdiagnosis gave birth to the oxymoronic “Patriot Act” and somewhat later to the “FISA court”.

USA PATRIOT Act is the bill they passed allegedly strengthened civil liberties. In reality, it fails to make any meaningful improvements to the provisions that violate citizen’s basic rights.

The PATRIOT Act only benefits Wall Street, the banks, large corporations and the U.S. Government, not mainstream America. The Patriot Act broadly expands law enforcement’s surveillance and investigative powers and represents one of the most significant threats to civil liberties and privacy in U.S. history.

The original Patriot Act was passed into law on October 24, 2001 by the Congress of the United States, just 45 days after the September 11 attacks, with few Congressman even reading it and virtually no debate. The Act threatens your fundamental freedoms by giving the government the power to access your medical records, tax records, information about the books you buy or borrow without probable cause, and even worse the power to break your door down at your home at any time of the day or night and conduct unconstitutional searches and seizures or, if your lucky and are not home, they can search your home or business in secret without telling you for weeks, months, if ever.

The law dramatically expands the ability of states and the Federal Government to conduct surveillance of American citizens. The Government can monitor an individual’s web surfing records, use roving wiretaps to monitor phone calls made by individuals “proximate” to the primary person being tapped, access Internet Service Provider records, and monitor the private records of people involved in legitimate protests.

PATRIOT is not limited to terrorism. The Government can add samples to DNA databases for individuals convicted of “any crime of violence.” Government spying on suspected computer trespassers (not just terrorist suspects) and all of this and more requires no court order. Wiretaps are now allowed for any suspected violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, offering possibilities for Government spying on and monitoring any computer user’s searches, e-mails and in fact record every stroke on any computer.

As we have seen in part due to the release of information provided by the House Committee on Intelligence, foreign and domestic intelligence agencies can more easily spy on Americans.

Powers under the existing Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which was just recently reauthorized,  have been broadened to allow for increased surveillance opportunities. FISA standards are lower than the constitutional standard applied by the courts in regular investigations. PATRIOT partially repeals legislation enacted in the 1970s that prohibited pervasive surveillance of American.

If this seems as though it should be illegal, guess what? It is!

The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States says: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

Seems pretty clear, But the argument has been repeatedly made that steps, sometimes Draconian steps must be taken to insure the safety of the public.

The Washington Post, (the Old Gray Lady of Watergate fame), puts it this way: it is perfectly fine to “give up liberty” for security: Discomfort with the government’s capacity, technical or legal, to collect and retain massive amounts of personal information is understandable. But the 2008 FISA amendments sought a compromise between two essential goals: preserving American liberty and robustly defending Americans’ lives and property. We favored the law and believe that it should be extended.

That’s ridiculous. Almost no one seems to understand what’s actually in the FISA Amendments Act, in part because there’s a secret interpretation of it that only the government knows.

This means that many, many people, including those in Congress, are clearly misrepresenting what’s in the law. The fact that the NSA refuses to say how often it has used this secret interpretation to spy on Americans should be a pretty big warning sign — especially as politicians who are either clueless or ignorant claim that it can’t be used to spy on Americans.

The Star Chamber (Latin: Camera stellata), was originally established to ensure the fair enforcement of laws against socially and politically prominent people so powerful that ordinary courts would probably hesitate to convict them of their crimes. However, it became synonymous with social and political oppression through the arbitrary use and abuse of the power it wielded.

Today, with the “Patriot Act” and the “FISA courts” it seems as though the system has been turned on its’ head to protect the socially and politically prominent people while oppressing Jane and Joe Sixpack.

All while the media continues the fairy tale that we much surrender our liberties for security.

One of the architects of our republic, Benjamin Franklin is known for, among other things, the following quote; “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Many would look to the government to shepherd us to safety while law enforcement, acting like the sheepdogs protect us from the wolves. We would do well to remember that the sheepdog works for the shepherd, not the sheep and the shepherd is only keeping the sheep until they can either be sheared or slaughtered.

A Prayer For The Good Servants

Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
preserve me from violent men,
who plan evil things in their heart
and stir up wars continually.

Prayer

There are many who would undo the good that has come back to our land over the past year. We need to pray for those who have served us well.

Psalm 140 1:5
Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
preserve me from violent men,
who plan evil things in their heart
and stir up wars continually.
They make their tongue sharp as a serpent’s,
and under their lips is the venom of asps.
Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
preserve me from violent men,
who have planned to trip up my feet.
The arrogant have hidden a trap for me,
and with cords they have spread a net;
beside the way they have set snares for me.

The Agenda – Part Three

The United States sends election monitors around the world to help discourage fraudulent balloting. But, here at home, it has largely turned a blind eye to the possibility that fraudulent voting by noncitizens could influence the outcome of an election. Our voter registration system is susceptible to abuse by noncitizens.

There has been a long-term agenda to change these United States from the conception birthed by our Founding Fathers to something where the power elite control the “Great Unwashed” through the cooperation and demands of the rank and file sheep of the flock. Some parts of the agenda span only a few years while others take over a century to unfold. You might call it a “ten-point program”, a “new world order” or “hope and change”. Over the next two weeks the plan will be presented in no particular order.

The Plan01

The Plan – Part 3: Expand the voter base and agenda support by granting voting rights to prison inmates, illegal aliens and select US Territories like Puerto Rico. Shape the narrative as a civil rights issue. Label those who protest as RACIST or ISOLATIONIST or INTOLERANT. Paint those who do not fall in line with the “new” agenda as “Rednecks” or “Nazis” or “Reactionaries”, or “Segregationists”.

California Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 60 in 2013, making California the 10th state to allow driver licenses for people in the country illegally. The STATED goal was to increase public safety and reduce penalties for undocumented immigrants who drive. As of late 2017 the State of California has issued over 900,000 such licenses to illegals.

In 2015, Brown signed the New Motor Voter law. By April, it will automatically register DMV customers to vote when they renew or obtain a driver’s license or fill out change of address forms, unless the customer opts-out.

Jessica Gonzalez, spokeswoman with the California DMV, said; “…we have programming measures in place to prevent that from occurring.” State officials said safeguards are already in place to prevent state DMV workers from typing in any voter information for AB 60 license holders. The state allows unauthorized immigrants to obtain a driver’s license, but supposedly excludes that group from the automatic voter registration.

The United States sends election monitors around the world to help discourage fraudulent balloting. But, here at home, it has largely turned a blind eye to the possibility that fraudulent voting by noncitizens could influence the outcome of an election. Our voter registration system is susceptible to abuse by noncitizens.

In addition, noncitizens and illegal aliens are counted when apportioning congressional districts and when allocating state electors under the Electoral College. This means noncitizens play a role in determining how many congressional representatives a state has and exert an indirect influence on presidential elections. This means that areas with large numbers of illegal alien residents gain additional representatives in Congress.

On April 22, 2016 Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe issued a sweeping executive order that changed the lives of 200,000 ex-felons in Virginia, instantly restoring their right to vote. This order leaves only Kentucky, Florida and Iowa with blanket lifetime disenfranchisement policies for ex-felons.

In recent years, the Supreme Court and Congress have affirmed a variety of constitutional rights for prisoners. They have rights of religious freedom under a 2000 federal law. Prisoners also retain some First Amendment free speech rights to hold and express political opinions. Most important, the Supreme Court decided that prisoners cannot have their citizenship stripped as a punishment for a crime. As Justice Earl Warren wrote in the 1958 case Trop v. Dulles: “Citizenship is not a right that expires upon misbehavior.”

Following that chain of logic to it’s conclusion, if “CITIZENSHIP” is not a right that expires on misbehavior, (commission of a crime), then logically there is an argument that “Non-Citizenship” should not be a bar to voting.

Looking at the way things seem to be progressing, it looks as though this part of the plan is well underway.

An old, (C) 1620 British March pretty well sums up  this situation:

Listen to me and you shall hear, news hath not been this thousand year:
Since Herod, Caesar, and many more, you never heard the like before.
Holy-dayes are despis’d, new fashions are devis’d.

The Agenda – Part Two

Like all “watchdogs”, the media are expected to bark, but when its many voices is owned by a small number of corporate masters, concerns about the validity of its’ barking arises.

There has been a long-term agenda to change these United States from the conception birthed by our Founding Fathers to something where the power elite control the “Great Unwashed” through the cooperation and demands of the rank and file sheep of the flock. Some parts of the agenda span only a few years while others take over a century to unfold. You might call it a “ten-point program”, a “new world order” or “hope and change”. Over the next two weeks the plan will be presented in no particular order.

Part Two: Consolidate all media assets behind core concepts stressing a new internationalism.

Like all “watchdogs”, the media are expected to bark, but when its many voices is owned by a small number of corporate masters, concerns about the validity of its’ barking arises.

Originally, the Internet was the champion of free thinkers, embraced as a liberating force from corporate owned media. But over a short time online news sites joined radio, television, newspapers and magazines as properties of the small handful of media conglomerates.

In raw numbers, 80 percent of the top 20 online news sites are owned by the 100 largest media companies. Time Warner owns two of the most visited sites: CNN.com and AOL News, while Gannett, which is the twelfth largest media company, owns USAToday.com along with many local online newspapers.

Fake news was not a term many people used two ago, but it is now it is seen as one of the greatest threats to truthful information. Governments and powerful individual elites have used information/propaganda as a weapon for millennia, to boost their support and quash dissidence.

Misinformation, spin, lies and deceit have of course been around forever. But what has been uncovered was a unique marriage between social media algorithms, advertising systems, political operatives prepared to make stuff up to cripple their opponents and freelancers looking to earn some  easy, if nefarious cash.

It’s not only the under-educated and gullible that are victims of the targeted media propaganda. Highly-educated people are often duped by lies as well – and can often be more stubborn when presented with information that challenges their views. This is exactly what the purveyors of societal control are counting on.

“Google, Facebook and other media platforms have said that they are going to be hiring a lot of people to review content and enforce their terms of service and keep fake and illegal stuff off their platforms. Sounds good… until you ask the question who will review the reviewers?

Ill-informed legislators will overreach and do more harm that the problem they are trying to fix, with legislation. The “Ministry of Information” does have a certain ring to it.

Propaganda can have the full weight and power of the state behind it. But more commonly, it’s a public relations challenge rearing its ugly head during a political campaign, a corporate battle or even by a non-profit is trying to manipulate an issue.

It’s hard to fight fire with fire, especially when you can’t use the same evil manipulations and lies that the other side is employing. You might feel like David in a fight against Goliath because propaganda is a tool of those in the power elite both in and out of government.

The best tactic is to establish your own channels of communication, especially since the other side dominates or controls the mainstream media.

Social media, blogs, and e-mail can let you communicate directly to the people, and that’s vital in a fight against propaganda. Flood the Internet at every opportunity. Get your own message out there. You’ll get people talking if you can accomplish this in a witty or clever way that they’ll remember. And as anyone involved in marketing knows, word of mouth is good.

The Founding Fathers ultimately prevailed through pamphleteers like Thomas Paine and others who got the truth out.

The agenda – Part One

Vladimir Lenin said; “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”

In “Mein Kampf” Adolph Hitler wrote; “whoever has the youth has the future”.

Since history, (at least accurate history), is seldom, if ever taught in today’s hallowed halls of education, most will not know the genesis of why Johnny can’t read, accurately make change for a dollar or control his emotional outbursts without being stuffed with psychotropic pharmaceuticals.

There has been a long-term agenda to change these United States from the conception birthed by our Founding Fathers to something where the power elite control the “Great Unwashed” through the cooperation and demands of the rank and file sheep of the flock. Some parts of the agenda span only a few years while others take over a century to unfold. You might call it a “ten-point program”, a “new world order” or “hope and change”. Over the next two weeks the plan will be presented in no particular order.

Point #1 Education: Deemphasize the individual. Through repetition from the earliest opportunity reinforce the “concepts of; “dependence on the State”; “The Collective Good” and “Social Justice”

Vladimir Lenin said; “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”

In “Mein Kampf” Adolph Hitler wrote; “whoever has the youth has the future”.

Since history, (at least accurate history), is seldom, if ever taught in today’s hallowed halls of education, most will not know the genesis of why Johnny can’t read, accurately make change for a dollar or control his emotional outbursts without being stuffed with psychotropic pharmaceuticals.

In 1899, Vermonter John Dewey unveiled his vision for remaking American education — a vision swallowed whole by “progressive” educators.

Dewey envisioned a society that assures “the full growth of all [of its] individuals,” a society in which “individualism and socialism” become one.”

The notion that society must guarantee everyone’s welfare would be pursued by Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Carter, George W. Bush, and Obama. But the fact that a collective can never be an individual eludes hopelessly theoretical progressives.

Dewey told parents that only a “radical change in education” could fix their children’s immodesty, irreverence, and disobedience. The likelihood that children just like 1899’s troublemakers caused trouble in every generation throughout Homo sapiens’ existence escaped Dewey. More amazingly, to address immodesty, irreverence, and disobedience, Dewey prescribed not structure, but squishy weirdness: “We must recognize our compensations — the increase in toleration, in breadth of social judgments, the larger acquaintance with human nature, the sharpened alertness in reading signs of character and interpreting social situations, greater accuracy of adaptation to differing personalities, contact with greater commercial activities.”

So looser morals, tolerance of slackers, and weaker judgment became central to the progressive’s lesson plan. In 1899, moral relativism and “diversity” debuted in American education and, as you are most surely aware, continues to clone itself in our educational system to this very day.

Recommended reading for the kids today includes Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and leftist Rinku Sen’s Stir It Up. Brainwash a child in militant anti-Americanism, and he or she will not have the capacity for critical thinking.

The sheep will follow the shepherd… all the way to the slaughterhouse floor.

Foxes Guarding The Hen House

It is now reported that long-time Clinton operative Sidney Blumenthal was feeding information to the MI-6 operative Steele, who was working with Fusion GPS, who was hired and paid by the Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee to create a political opposition dossier on candidate Donald Trump. Some money was filtered through, (laundered by), the Perkins, Coie law firm that originally came from a lobbyist in DC who got it from his client, a Russian national.

Confused yet?

With the Senate Criminal Referral to the FBI things are getting “curiouser and curiouser” in the swamp.

This spurious political hit piece was originally couriered over to the FBI by Senator John McCain, (R?- Arizona). At this point it is unknown where Sen McCain got his hands on it. The FBI used this “salacious”, (then FBI Director Comey‘s word), dossier as the basis for petitioning a FISA court to allow surveillance of a United States national, Carter Paige and thereby the political campaign of candidate Donald Trump.

The FBI, in the application for the first FISA warrant and in at least three subsequent extensions to it, failed to inform the court of the political nature of the basis for their request.

In tomorrows’ blog, I will break down in outline fashion who did what and I will attempt to illustrate the “why”.

Bottom line here is that the WAS collusion with Russian persons to influence the 2016 presidential election… but that collusion was not involved with persons from the Trump camp.

Rodding Out the DC Sewer

There was essentially no oversight on any activity happening inside the NSD.

So it might not be so coincidental the players used on the DOJ side of “Operation Trump” (Bruce Ohr, John Carlin, etc.) all seem to come from within the National Security Division.

FBI Personnel tree

 

David Laufman was the Department of Justice, National Security Division, Deputy Asst. Attorney General in charge of counterintelligence, cyber security, counterespionage and export controls.

Laufman would have been involved and hold knowledge of the FISA “Title-1” surveillance program initiated on target Carter Page and the “incidental” Trump campaign officials. Laufman would also have close contact with former Asst. Deputy Attorney Bruce Ohr; husband of Fusion GPS employee Nellie Ohr.

Additionally, as a result of his specific responsibilities David Laufman would also have been involved in any FARA investigations of General Mike Flynn (Turkish lobbying), and/or Paul Manafort (Ukraine lobbying); and had access to FISA-702(16)(17) database use for incidental surveillance and subsequent unmasking etc.

After President Trump won the election, Attorney General Jeff Sessions reversed the prior position of Sally Yates who was keeping the DOJ National Security Division free from Inspector General Horowitz oversight. Now the DOJ-NSD has direct oversight, the officials within the DOJ-NSD have come down with a severe case of sunlight aversion.

Responding to a 2015 request by the DOJ Office of Inspector General, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates told the internal watchdog they could not investigate the National Security Division.

There was essentially no oversight on any activity happening inside the NSD.

So it might not be so coincidental the players used on the DOJ side of “Operation Trump” (Bruce Ohr, John Carlin, etc.) all seem to come from within the National Security Division.

Their desperation seems to have gone even to the extent of misleading the FISA court on the validity of the underlying documents. The DOJ/FBI ‘small group’ really seemed quite desperate to gain that FISA Title-1 surveillance authority…

From the Strzok texts: “…. they really, really needed it:”
…”I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office — that there’s no way he gets elected — but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk. It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40″…

Considering that mounting evidence, does this March 2017 interview with former Obama administration official Evelyn Farkas (Deputy Asst. Secretary of Defense), appearing on MSNBC, make more sense now?

“I was urging my former colleagues, and, and frankly speaking the people on the Hill [Democrat politicians], it was more actually aimed at telling the Hill people, get as much information as you can – get as much intelligence as you can – before President Obama leaves the administration.”

“Because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama] people who left; so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy, um, that the Trump folks – if they found out HOW we knew what we knew about their, the Trump staff, dealing with Russians – that they would try to compromise those sources and methods; meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence.”

“So I became very worried because not enough was coming out into the open and I knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence on Russia; so then I had talked to some of my former colleagues and I knew that they were also trying to help get information to the Hill. That’s why you had the leaking”…

The Department of Justice’s own Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, was previously not allowed to investigate anything that happened within the NSD branch of the Department of Justice.

According to the Washington Post, David Laufman resigned effective yesterday, Wednesday February 7th when he said farewell to colleagues. He cited personal reasons.

My opinion is that he personally wanted to avoid criminal charges.

A Prayer

O Lord, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked exult?

punish for wickedness

Psalm 94

O Lord, God of vengeance,
    O God of vengeance, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O judge of the earth;
    repay to the proud what they deserve!
3 O Lord, how long shall the wicked,
    how long shall the wicked exult?
4 They pour out their arrogant words;
    all the evildoers boast.
5 They crush your people, O Lord,
    and afflict your heritage.
6 They kill the widow and the sojourner,
    and murder the fatherless;
7 and they say, “The Lord does not see;
    the God of Jacob does not perceive.”

8 Understand, O dullest of the people!
    Fools, when will you be wise?
9 He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10 He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?
He who teaches man knowledge—
11     the Lord—knows the thoughts of man,
    that they are but a breath.[a]

12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O Lord,
    and whom you teach out of your law,
13 to give him rest from days of trouble,
    until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not forsake his people;
    he will not abandon his heritage;
15 for justice will return to the righteous,
    and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who rises up for me against the wicked?
    Who stands up for me against evildoers?
17 If the Lord had not been my help,
    my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
18 When I thought, “My foot slips,”
    your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.
19 When the cares of my heart are many,
    your consolations cheer my soul.
20 Can wicked rulers be allied with you,
    those who frame[b] injustice by statute?
21 They band together against the life of the righteous
    and condemn the innocent to death.[c]
22 But the Lord has become my stronghold,
    and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 He will bring back on them their iniquity
    and wipe them out for their wickedness;
    the Lord our God will wipe them out.

Skim milk masquerades as cream

The last eight years were a period of turmoil and upheaval. What’s going on now is a return to something close to normalcy, but to the cult of rage heads determined to smash up American society, order and normalcy is what they imagine to be Hell.

culture war

I was watching the sports over the weekend and this ad for the US Marine Corps kept popping up during the broadcast. I don’t watch a lot of television so I’m late to the party on this.

It appears the ad was cut last spring. My first reaction was, “Why would anyone send soccer moms into combat?” That’s what it looks like in the video. The actress looks like she is an office clerk playing paintball at the company retreat. My second thought was, “Who do they think is watching this stuff?”

The answer to the last question is they simply don’t know who is watching this stuff. They just imagine who they hope is watching it. The fact is, the people who rule over us no longer know much about us.

The Marines are not as bad as the other branches, but they too are staggering around in the thick fog of the estrogen laced miasma known as multiculturalism. That means they are slowly detaching from reality, confusing the much dreamed for future with present reality. They think G.I. Jane is real.

This confusion between what the elites wish for and what is present reality is all over the mass media.

Most TV ads now have race mixing, despite the fact it remains relatively rare in American society. According to TV, the average American family is a black guy with a white wife and two Asian kids. Because Progressives are so fixated on whatever they currently imagine as Utopia, they inevitably begin to confuse their dreamed for world with the real world.

A quick example is a recent Washington Post story.

The setup tells you right away that the people who put this together are not living in the same America as the rest of us. “We asked people to contemplate what it means to be American in this time of upheaval and rapid change” is not a statement about present reality.

The last eight years were a period of turmoil and upheaval. What’s going on now is a return to something close to normalcy, but to the cult of rage heads determined to smash up American society, order and normalcy is what they imagine to be Hell.

They pontificate that 102 randomly selected people speak for the rest of us. That’s because they look at people as talking meat sticks.

For all their talk of diversity, they think there is no difference between a Yankee plumber, a Montana rancher, an Alabama waitress and a transplanted Arab goatherd.

We’re all just talking monkeys to them. Worse yet, they are so arrogant that they think they can round up a hundred or so opinions and figure out what the rest of us are thinking from that random sample. These people look at us as zoo animals and they are our keepers… they and the social or entertainment “elites”.

They have an obsession with people being united. This is the hallmark of the religious fanatic.The fanatic sees any deviation from the permissible as an assault on the order they imagine as perfection.

The popular conception of fascists is they were people who violently oppose coloring outside the lines. It is once again an example of how the “Progressives” conjure demons that reflect its true soul. For “Progressives”, the dream is a world where everyone thinks and acts exactly as there are required, to serve the Great Hive.

What this post story and the tidal wave of idiotic media ads reveals, though, is what the people in charge currently imagine as the glorious future. The utopian minded are sure that the promised land is just over the next hill.

In the case of the lunatics ruling over us, they believe the future is a land full of automatons, who have internalized the lessons of the one true faith to the point where they no longer possess an individual self. America is just one big petting zoo designed so corpulent cosmopolitans can have a variety of restaurants.

There is a sharp disconnect between the current ruling elite and the public. The managerial state cannot withstand contact with reality, so it seeks to insulate itself from it. Walk onto a college campus or government compound and you are no longer in America.

That’s because the people who rule over us are no longer Americans. You see that in the reactions to President Trump and the new populism. The elites of both parties are so sure President Trump is backed by foreigners, because the things he says and does are completely alien to the elites of both parties. Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi would be more comfortable around President Trump if he was a talking lizard man. A space alien would make more sense to them than a white person expecting his government to look out for his interests.
