It’s coming, (but then again, so is Christmas)

If the problems are not resolved, which at this point appears to be impossible, it will fall apart and nothing can be done to stop it (for the Deep State on both sides do not wish for the problems to be fixed) and it will not be like anything you can imagine….

IT IS COMING….

This is a dying mantra from the right….

Been hearing it since the Presidential Election of 2016….

The 2020 Presidential Election is a year and just over a month away….

Where are the perp walks????

No one of any importance has been walked into jail, much less prison except Epstein who was murdered in jail…. Just how in hell did that happen????

Reminds me of the fairy tales of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” and Chicken Little’s “The Sky Is Falling”….

There is no there there until the big guys and gals are arrested, jailed and in prison…. Otherwise it is all conjecture….

The economy has improved, but it can fail overnight…. 2019 deficit is over one trillion dollars…. The debt is over 22.5 trillion dollars…. Feel better…

Red flag laws and universal background checks are coming….

Some border fence has been replaced and some new border fence is installed, but tens of thousands of illegals still cross into America and sanctuary cities protect the criminal illegals….

So what has really happened to preserve our nation and freedoms???? Absolutely nothing of importance…. Nothing….

Prove me wrong….

Do not use “he said she said” for it carries absolutely no weight until visible action is taken….

The military has improved, but has it from the reports of problems with readiness, maintenance, etc….

High visibility prisoners in Gitmo???? Show me….

People threaten President Trump and NOTHING IS DONE…. Nothing….

We are being lead down the primrose path with very little to show for it….

Americans are tired of all of the talk and both sides, the left and the right, want the problems fixed….

If the problems are not resolved, which at this point appears to be impossible, it will fall apart and nothing can be done to stop it (for the Deep State on both sides do not wish for the problems to be fixed) and it will not be like anything you can imagine…. One spark is all that it will take…. One spark….

Do you live in a city???? Are you really safe????

We’ve lost our marbles!

We are going through a great mass derangement. In public and in private, people are behaving in ways that are increasingly irrational, feverish, herd-like and unpleasant

We are going through a great mass derangement. In public and in private, people are behaving in ways that are increasingly irrational, feverish, herd-like and unpleasant. The news is filled with the consequences. Yet while we see the symptoms everywhere, we don’t see the causes.

Various explanations have been given, usually involving Donald Trump, Brexit, or both. But these explanations don’t get to the root cause of what is happening. For beneath all the day-to-day madnesses – over race, sex, sexuality, gender and the rest – are much greater movements and much bigger events. Even the origin of this mass derangement is rarely acknowledged. This is the simple fact that we have been living through a period of more than a quarter of a century in which all our grand narratives about our existence have collapsed.

Religion went first, falling away from the 19th Century onwards. Then, over the past century, the secular hopes held out by all political ideologies followed. In the latter part of the 20th Century, we entered the post-modern era, defined by its suspicion towards grand narratives.

However, nature abhors a vacuum. People in today’s wealthy Western democracies could not simply remain the first people in recorded history to have no explanation for what we are doing here and no story to give life purpose.

The question of what exactly we are meant to do now – other than get rich and have fun – was going to have to be answered by something. The answer that has presented itself in recent years has been to live in a permanent state of outrage. To find meaning by waging constant war against anybody who seems to be on the wrong side of a question to which the answer has only just been altered.

The bewildering speed of this process has been principally caused by the Silicon Valley giants (notably Google, Twitter and Facebook). They have the power not just to direct what most people in the world know, think and say, but have a business model which has accurately been described as relying on finding ‘customers ready to pay to modify someone else’s behaviour’.

But today’s wars of ideas are not random – they are consistently being fought in a new and particular direction. And that direction has a purpose that is vast. The purpose – unwitting in some people, deliberate in others – is nothing less than to embed a new religion into our societies.

though the foundations had been laid over several decades, it is only since the financial crash of 2008 that there has been a march into the mainstream of ideas that were previously known solely on the obscurest fringes of academia.

The interpretation of the world through the lens of ‘social justice’ and ‘identity group politics’ is probably the most audacious and comprehensive effort since the end of the Cold War at creating a new ideology.

To date, ‘social justice’ has run the furthest because it sounds – and in some versions is – attractive. Even the term is set up to be impossible to argue with. ‘You’re opposed to social justice? What do you want, social injustice?’

The attractions are obvious. After all, why should a generation which can’t accumulate capital have any great love of capitalism? And it isn’t hard to work out why a generation who believe they may never own a home could be attracted to an ideological world view which promises to sort out every inequality. The place where social justice finds its warriors is identity politics. This atomises society into different interest groups according to sex (or gender), race, sexual preference and more. It presumes that such characteristics are the main, or only, relevant attributes of their holders and that they bring an added bonus. As the American writer Coleman Hughes has put it, it assumes there is ‘a heightened moral knowledge’ that comes with being black or female or gay. It’s why people start statements with ‘Speaking as a …’. And this new religion is something that people both living and dead must be on the right side of.

That’s why there are calls to pull down statues of historical figures viewed as being on the wrong side and it is why the past needs to be rewritten to suit any interest group you wish to champion.

Identity politics is where minority groups are encouraged to simultaneously atomise, organise and go on the attack. Tied into this is something social justice warriors call ‘intersectionality’ – the notion that there is a hierarchy of oppressed minorities and society should organise itself around correcting this.

Today, intersectionality has broken out from the social science departments of the universities from which it originated into the mainstream. It’s now taken seriously by millennials and has become embedded via employment law (through a ‘commitment to diversity’) in all major corporations and governments.

The speed at which the ‘social justice’ causes have taken over everyday life is staggering. Once-obscure phrases such as ‘LGBTQ’, ‘white privilege’, ‘the patriarchy’ and ‘transphobia’ are suddenly heard everywhere – even though in the words of mathematician Eric Weinstein, they were ‘all made up about 20 minutes ago’. The policing of these issues is an even more recent phenomenon. Researchers found that phrases like ‘triggered’ and ‘feeling unsafe’ only spiked in usage from 2013 onwards.

It is as though, having worked out what it wanted, the new religion took a further half-decade to work out how to impose its credo on non-believers. But it has done so with frightening success.

The maddening results can be seen on a daily basis. It’s why a British academic study which found muscular, wealthy men are more attractive could be headlined by Newsweek magazine as: ‘Men with muscles and money are more attractive to straight women and gay men – showing gender roles aren’t progressing.’

It’s why a previously completely unknown programmer at Google could be sacked for writing a memo suggesting some tech jobs appeal more to men than women. It is why The New York Times ran a piece by a black author with the title: ‘Can my children be friends with white people?’ And it’s why a piece about cycling deaths in London written by a woman was framed through the headline: ‘Roads designed by men are killing women.’

Such rhetoric exacerbates existing divisions and creates new ones. For what purpose? Rather than showing how we can all get along better, the lessons of the last decade appear to be exacerbating a sense that in fact we aren’t very good at living with each other.

For most people, awareness of this new religion has become clear not so much by trial as by public error. Because one thing that everybody has begun to sense in recent years is that a set of tripwires have been laid across the culture. Among the first tripwires was anything to do with homosexuality. In the latter half of the 20th Century, there was a fight for gay equality which rightly succeeded in reversing a terrible historic injustice. Then, the war having been won, it didn’t stop. Indeed it began morphing. GLB (Gay, Lesbian, Bi) became LGB so as not to diminish lesbians. Then a T for ‘trans’ and a Q for ‘queer’ or ‘questioning’ got added. Then the movement behaved – in victory – as its opponents once did, as oppressors.

When the boot was on the other foot, something ugly happened.

A decade ago, almost nobody was supportive of gay marriage. Even gay rights group Stonewall wasn’t in favour. Now it’s a central tenet of modern liberalism. To fail the gay marriage test – only years after almost everybody failed it – is to put yourself beyond the pale.

People may agree with or disagree with gay marriage. But to shift mores so fast needs to be done with sensitivity and deep thought. Yet we engage in neither.

Other issues followed a similar pattern. Women’s rights had also been steadily accumulated throughout the 20th Century. They too appeared to be arriving at some sort of settlement. Then, just as the train appeared to be reaching its desired destination, it filled with steam again and went roaring off into the distance. What had been barely disputed until yesterday became a cause to destroy someone’s life today. Whole careers were scattered and strewn as the train careered along its path.

Careers like that of the 72-year-old Nobel Prize-winning UCL Professor Tim Hunt were destroyed after one lame joke, at a conference in South Korea, about men and women falling in love in the lab. What was the virtue of making relations between the sexes so fraught? Why, when women had broken through more glass ceilings than at any other time, did talk of ‘the patriarchy’ seep out of feminist fringes and into popular culture?

In a similar fashion, the civil rights movement in America, which started to right the most appalling of all historic wrongs, looked like it was moving towards some hoped-for resolution. Again, near the point of victory everything soured.

Just as things appeared better than ever before, the rhetoric started suggesting things had never been worse.

The most recent tripwire addition, and most toxic of all of them, is the trans issue. It affects the fewest number of people, but is nevertheless fought over with an almost unequalled ferocity and rage. Women who have got on the wrong side of the issue, including notable feminists like Julie Bindel and Suzanne Moore, have been hounded by people who used to be men.

Meanwhile, mothers and fathers who voice concerns that ten years ago would have been considered common sense have their fitness to be parents questioned. People who will not concede that men can be women (and vice versa) can amazingly now expect a knock on the door from police.

Last September, a billboard that comprised the dictionary definition ‘woman: noun, adult human female’ was taken down after someone complained it was a ‘symbol that makes transgender people feel unsafe’.

Everyone knows what they will be called if their foot nicks against society’s new tripwires. Bigot, homophobe, sexist, misogynist, racist and transphobe are for starters. To avoid these accusations, citizens must prove their commitment to fashionable causes.

How might somebody demonstrate virtue in this new world? By being ‘anti-racist’, clearly. By being an ‘ally’ to LGBT people, obviously. By stressing how ardent your desire is to bring down the patriarchy.

And this creates a situation where public avowals of loyalty to the system must be made regardless of whether it’s needed. It’s an extension of a problem in liberalism identified by the late political philosopher Kenneth Minogue as ‘St George in retirement’ syndrome. After slaying the dragon, the warrior finds himself stalking the land looking for more glorious fights. Eventually, after tiring himself out in pursuit of ever-smaller dragons, he may eventually be found swinging his sword at thin air, imagining dragons.

Today our public life is dense with people desperate to slay imagined dragons. On all the big issues, an increasing number of people, with the law on their side, now pretend that all questions have been resolved, all answers agreed upon – and that no good person can have any doubts. The case is very much otherwise.

Each of these issues is infinitely more complex and unstable than our societies admit. Yet while the endless contradictions, fabrications and fantasies within each are visible, identifying them is not just discouraged but policed.

And so we are asked to agree to things which we cannot believe, and told not to object to things to which most people object, such as giving children drugs to stop them going through puberty or allowing men who self-identify as female to use female toilets. The pain that comes from being expected to remain silent on important matters and perform impossible leaps on others is tremendous, not least because the problems are so evident.

As anyone who has lived under totalitarianism can attest, there is something demeaning and eventually soul-destroying about being expected to go along with claims you do not believe to be true.

If the belief is that all people should be regarded as having equal value and be accorded equal dignity, then that may be all well and good. But if you’re asked to believe there are no differences between men and women, racism and anti-racism, homosexuality and heterosexuality, then this will drive you to distraction. That distraction is something we’re in the middle of and something we must try to find our way out from. If we fail, the direction of travel is clear.

We face not just a future of ever-greater atomisation, rage and violence, but a future in which the possibility of a backlash against all rights advances – including the good ones – grows more likely.

A future in which racism is responded to with racism, denigration based on gender is responded to with denigration based on gender. At some stage of humiliation there is simply no reason for majority groups not to retaliate with the exact same weapons that have worked so well on themselves.

The Impossible Burger

1 Timothy 4:1-3

1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

²Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

³Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

Who pays the bill?

So when it came time to rebuild Europe, Japan, and places as far-flung as Burma, who picked up the tab?
Mom and Pop back home in Des Moines.

It is a strange fact that those who win wars wind up paying for all the destruction they cause. That is by international agreement and so, guess who got the bill for World War II? We did.

We were the only ones who could rebuild the world.

Obviously, the Germans were not in any position to pay anyone back for anything. They were too busy clearing their own streets of rubble.

The Brits were in similar condition, hanging on by threads.

So when it came time to rebuild Europe, Japan, and places as far-flung as Burma, who picked up the tab?

Mom and Pop back home in Des Moines.

This was accomplished by the Marshall Plan, yet another stroke of genius drummed up by our military, which should be permanently barred from having anything to do with accounting or finance.

Any organization that can lose trillions of dollars off their books, and turn around and find even more trillions of dollars of credit on their books that they can’t account for, needs to be relieved of accounting duty.

The recovering nations were allowed to place debilitating tariffs against American goods and services, and to profit their own governments on those tariffs. The resulting income was more than sufficient to pay for rebuilding all the war-time damage to Europe, a process that was complete by 1970.

These same nations were protected by the American Armed Forces at little (we are talking 1- 4% percent) or no cost to them, so virtually all the burden of their national defense was footed by the Americans, too.

All of that should have come to a conclusion around 1970-75, at most. The tariffs against American goods and services should have been quietly removed by all the various recipient governments and our own manufacturing and productive sectors of our economy should have been set free to thrive.

Read that — The Rust Belt should not exist. Detroit should be thriving. Millions upon millions of American manufacturing and service jobs should have been cranking out a good future for millions of American families for the past fifty years.

Should have been.

But we have been letting the rulers of the world manipulate our government processes and promote their corporate elections while suppressing our lawful government and unlawfully usurping upon us in Gross Breach of Trust.

They happily sold us and our best interests down the river and continued to glut themselves for an additional fifty years— and all in breach of International Treaties, in Breach of Trust, in violation of their commercial contracts.

Fifty years. Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George Bush, Wm. Jefferson Clinton, Barack Obama…. traitors all.

It’s only now that the facts about The Marshal Plan and its gross mis-administration are coming to the attention of the American People and they are beginning to understand just how terribly they and their country have been mistreated.

Donald Trump is the first American President in all these years to have sense and guts enough to call a halt to it.

Of course, those who have been sucking us dry are disappointed.

It’s important for all the other World Leaders who have been acting as leeches to understand that Donald Trump isn’t the only American who has had enough.

There are, in fact, millions of us. Not everyone knows the details yet, but all our backs are up, simply because of the level of suffering and injustice we’ve endured without relief for fifty additional years of enslavement and taxation and tariffs under “wartime” mobilization.

We are not willing to be killed off in yet another mercenary war, just so they can avoid paying their debts back to us, either.

Doctor Moreau revisited

The 2008 Human Fertilisation Embryology Act essentially legalized the creation of animal-human hybrids throughout England, some 150 of which had already been developed in the U.K. by the year 2011.

The Japanese government has granted its approval for The University of Tokyo to proceed with a controversial stem-cell research project that aims to develop human-animal hybrid creatures.

Led by renowned geneticist Dr. Hiromitsu Nakauchi, the work will involve growing human cells in rat and mouse embryos, which will then be brought to term in surrogate animals. Their stated goal is to eventually be able to grow functioning vital organs fit for surgical implantation into transplant patients – but is there more to the story than that?

Critics of the endeavor say that those involved with it are attempting to “play God,” or at least trying to, by reconstructing animal lifeforms in the same way that genetic scientists are reinventing plants through genetic engineering. There’s really nothing good that can come from this, many of them contend, especially when it comes to the very real potential for uncontrollable genetic drift.

Should the implanted human cells stray beyond the targeted organs into other areas of the test animals bodies, the end result could be literal half-animal, half-human monsters being unleashed into the population. This is why such experimentation has long been forbidden – until now, that is.

In Japan, prior to the government giving these scientists the green light, growing human cells in animal hosts was forbidden beyond 14 days. But that’s all changed, as scientists are now free to bring these mutant lifeforms to term – all in the name of “progress,” of course.

“We don’t expect to create human organs immediately, but this allows us to advance our research based upon the know-how we have gained up to this point,” Dr. Nakauchi is quoted as saying to the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun.

In the immediate term, Dr. Nakauchi and his team aren’t planning to actually bring any of their hybrid embryos to term. They’re instead planning to take a slow approach, beginning with a 14.5-day growth period and moving to a 15.5-day period after that, followed by even longer growing periods as deemed necessary.

animal-human hybrids aren’t technically new, seeing as how they received government approval, at least in the United Kingdom, as far back as 2008.

The 2008 Human Fertilisation Embryology Act essentially legalized the creation of animal-human hybrids throughout England, some 150 of which had already been developed in the U.K. by the year 2011. How many have been created since is anyone’s guess, but the point is that a Pandora’s box has now been opened, and it’s unlikely to close any time soon.

“Among the monstrosities they created were animal eggs fertilized with human sperm, and cybrids – animal cells that are injected with human cell nuclei,” wrote Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, in response to this news at that time. “They also created chimeras, a mixture of human cells and animal cells.

Kill the messengers

Declaring conspiracy theories as domestic terrorism, the FBI published the following statement: “Conspiracy theories very likely will emerge, spread, and evolve in the modern information marketplace, occasionally driving both groups and individual extremists to carry out criminal or violent acts (FBI August 2019).” There you have it…got to “protect” the public from those who question authority. There’s no telling what the sheep might do if someone whispered the truth in their ears!

Only a handful of members of the Continental Congress were ready to break away from Britain. In a last-ditch attempt to go around the British Parliament, those who hoped for peace sent a letter directly to King George, hoping he was ignorant of the abuses the colonists were suffering at the hands of his officers and agents. The document became known as the Olive Branch Letter, and it was rejected immediately by the King and Parliament. War ensued.

King George III responded to the letter by attacking those who challenged his policies or resisted his military and civil agents. Declaring the colonist’s requests for fair treatment as treasonous, he railed against the members of the Continental Congress as “dangerous and ill-designing men,” threatening to hang them all.

In order to suppress further dissent, the King demanded that his agents, military commanders, and loyal subjects report “all traitorous conspiracies and attempts against us.” The King and his agents were concerned about the number of printing presses being used to publish newspapers and pamphlets, educating the colonists and fanning the flames of rebellion.

The Crown controlled many of the major newspapers (sound familiar), but not the smaller independent ones. Silencing voices misaligned with official propaganda was essential in quelling the rebellion. As part of his offensive strategy, his agents destroyed many presses and commanded all loyal subjects to report on anyone creating or distributing conspiratorial material.

Then and Now 1775-2019 what’s changed?

Realizing the dark similarities between the unsympathetic attitude of King George III towards the plight of his colonists, and our own congressional leaders’ indifference to the people who elected them, it is easier to understand how federal agencies have been used to set upon anyone who dares speak up…and why Congress turns a blind eye.

Kill the messengers

Civil agents lock arms with the Deep State

Despite the Kabuki theater playing out in Washington portraying a war against Big Tech, don’t believe for a minute the alphabet agencies and government leaders aren’t benefiting from the snooping that takes place online on their behalf. We see what these groups have done for China, assisting the monitoring and censoring of their citizens. Add information from Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and every other social platform and you realize what’s stored in that huge Utah data Center, or one of the dozen or so other government or private computers.

We the people cannot allow ourselves or our neighbors to be muffled or gagged by anyone, most especially the same government that is now coming after anyone who questions their authority or motives.

Heads up

Start watching the news folks. Something is up. Pence recalled to Washington en route to new Hampshire. Putin canceled meetings to meet with defense secretary. Russian sub caught fire and killed 14. EU security council is meeting. First lady put on a plane out of DC and other air force assets taking to the air. Could all be coincidence, but doesn’t look good. Let’s hope for coincidence.

Pray it’s just coincidence… but pray!

5,000+ Quarantined by ICE for exposure to diseases.

A total of 5,200 detainees have been quarantined, including 4,200 are for exposure to mumps and 800 who were exposed to chicken pox and 100 have been exposed to both, the agency said.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced that more than 5,000 migrants exposed to infectious diseases have been placed in quarantine. The agency said there have been cases of either mumps or chicken pox in 39 different detention centers.

“The preponderance of evidence points to the major influx at our Southwest border being, at minimum, a significant contributing factor of these occurrences,” Nathalie Asher, executive associate director for ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations, said in a statement.

A total of 5,200 detainees have been quarantined, including 4,200 are for exposure to mumps and 800 who were exposed to chicken pox and 100 have been exposed to both, the agency said.

Last week President Trump announced a deal with Mexico to help curb the number of Central Americans coming through Mexico to request asylum in the U.S. On Friday, the Mexican government released the details of a “side deal” made with Trump that includes some additional measures.

The supplementary agreement signed June 7 between the two countries shows that Mexico will require migrants fleeing their homelands through Mexico to seek asylum there. Mexico agreed to examine domestic laws and regulations to identify necessary changes to implement the side agreement.

The provisions included in the side agreement released Friday call for “burden-sharing and the assignment of responsibility for processing refugee claims” from migrants, part of a regional approach to tackling a rise in Central American migration to the U.S.

Mexico has long opposed any calls to designate itself as a “safe third country,” saying it lacks the necessary resources.

The agreement also includes a remedy if the actions by Mexico do not reduce the flow of migrants to the U.S. border.

Under the terms of the side agreement, if the U.S. determines “at its discretion and after consultation with Mexico” after 45 days that the measures adopted by Mexico haven’t sufficiently achieved results in addressing the flow of migrants to the U.S. southern border, “Mexico will take all necessary steps under domestic law to bring the agreement into force.”

Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard has said he expects the measures the government is taking to curb the flow of migrants, including the deployment of the newly formed National Guard to Mexico’s border with Guatemala, will be successful.

“This isn’t just a Mexican issue, not just an issue for El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, it’s one of the biggest migration flows in the world,” he said on Friday.

Isn’t that special? We’re importing disease.

We ARE going to hell in a handbasket!

Biological Leninism

Reposted from Spandrell

It’s 100 years now since the Russian Revolution. The Soviet Union. Lenin and the Bolsheviks. Leninism. It’s been 100 years already, but you realize how present the whole thing remains when you look at the press these days. People are still praising or damning the revolution. As if it mattered anymore. As if it were something more than history. As if the left and right of today had remotely anything in common with the left and right of Lenin’s day.

I won’t praise Lenin, an evil man. But great men are often quite evil. I’m not very interested in Lenin, the man; but I’m very interested in Leninism. Lenin is very dead (if not yet buried, I wonder what Putin is waiting for); but Leninism is quite alive. And the Western press has just realized that China, the second power in the world, in place to become the first in a few years, is a Leninist state. It’s taken 5 years of Xi Jinping shouting every day about the Leninist orthodoxy of the Communist Party of China for people to realize. Now the West is scared.

The West is scared because Leninism is effective. Yes, sure, the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991; but lasting 74 years is no mean feat. And at any rate, the very establishment of the Soviet Union was a superhuman feat. It was something amazing, and amazed was the whole intelligentsia of the Western world for many decades. The kind of people who read my blog might not realize this, but Marxism was huge. Still is, really. Marxism completely captured the intellectual classes of the whole world for over a century. In China it’s still the official orthodoxy, taught in schools. In the West it’s still with us, if in the morphed form of Cultural Marxism.

It’s a staple of the right to speculate about why intellectuals hate capitalism. Reagan had a lot of quips about it. As usual, the right was good at cracking jokes, but it just never understood the problem. Which is why it lost, and keeps losing, and now we have gaymarriage and black transexuals running for office.

To understand Marxism you have to understand the world Marx lived in. 1848. The Liberal Revolutions. Europe had gone a long way since feudalism, through the absolutist wars of the 17th century, the rise of the modern state, and then the series of liberal revolutions starting in France in 1789 all up to 1848. A common thread on all this history is the rise of the bureaucratic state. Feudalism is a very natural form of government. It’s basically transposing the hierarchy of a conquering army into peacetime. China started like that, 1046 BC. The German tribes that conquered Western Rome also run like that. The king at war becomes the king at peace. The generals become counts. The colonels become earls. Everyone gets a peace of land, a set of rules of behavior, a set of duties of fealty.

It works pretty well at keeping loyalty. It’s not perfect, of course, after generations pass, the original ties of loyalty between army buddies aren’t quite the same. But it worked reasonably well. Feudalism in both China and Europe lasted about 1,000 years. The problem with feudalism is that it’s really hard to get anything done. It’s hard to raise taxes, it’s hard to get anything built. Everybody is very zealous about their inherited status and they won’t tolerate the smallest change. Then the Ottomans come in and the most free and decentralized Kingdom of Hungary is slaughtered at Mohacs.

A state, like any organization, but even more so, wants to get things done. It wants to grow, expand its power and influence. And so feudalism led to absolutism. And absolutism led to liberalism. Liberal states were strong, had armies of bureaucrats and tax revenues that feudal states could only dream of. But while they were effective, they were a mess. Feudalism is good at generating loyalty. Liberalism is awful at that. And loyalty is very important. The fundamental problem of politics is the distinction between friend and foe, said Schmitt. A friend is someone who is loyal.

The 19th century, which destroyed the Ancien Regime in Europe, was an economic and scientific golden era, but politically it was a mess. A revolution every decade, governments which lasted months, huge scandals every week. Elections were a violent and chaotic affair. If anything got done at all it was because the political chaos gave way to economic freedom, and the private sector got things done. A lot of things done. But the intellectuals weren’t cool with that. Intellectuals are always the reserve army of the bureaucracy. They want the government to get things done.

With all the scientific advances of the last centuries, the 18th and 19th century intellectuals were just brimming with excitement with all the things they could get done. All those plans of social engineering. Utopia on earth! It just seemed so feasible. And yet they could never pull it off through the political process. They just couldn’t pull it off. The politicians and bureaucrats just weren’t loyal enough. Constant factionalism and infighting made any real reform impossible.

Until Leninism, that is. Now Leninism is most likely mislabeled. Lenin did indeed found the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. But Lenin died in 1924. And the Soviet Union was still a huge mess in 1924. It was Stalin, general secretary of the CPSU since 1922 who, through the means we all know, really built the Communist Party and stabilized the Soviet government. Stalinism is used to refer to his brutal purges and his approach to criminal justice, but it would be more accurate to use Stalinism to refer to what we today call Leninism; the structure of rule of single-party Communist regimes.

Say what you will about the Soviet Union: the Communist Party was loyal. They got things done. Every crazy and stupid thing that the Politburo approved got done. Yes, it took a while to achieve that result. Stalin had to kill a lot of people. But it wasn’t through sheer terror and cruelty that the Communist Party worked. The Communist Party had a system. Which worked. It still works today in China. You might have noticed how people in the West today talk about China in these same terms. China gets things done, it does them fast and cheap. China got the world’s biggest high-speed rail system in the time that it takes to dig a tunnel in Boston. And for not that much more money. That’s not a coincidence. That’s Leninism at work.

Any country has a ruling class. What I call “loyalty” you could also call asabiya; the coherence of the ruling class as such. Their ability to stick with each other and gang up, keeping the structure of rule stable. Feudalism got that; the nobility was the ruling class, they formed a society very much separate from that of the peasants, and they took much care that their rule was never contested. The destruction of that world by enlightened liberals resulted in a ruling class which was orders of magnitude less cohesive and orderly. You might be a libertarian and think that is a good thing, and you may have a point. But any organization wants to fight entropy and ensure its stability and reproduction. Liberalism historically has shown itself incapable of that. Leninism was the first solution to that problem.

Leninism is, of course, applied socialism. Socialism was huge before Leninism was even a thing, and that Marxism was and is still popular is not due only to Soviet patronage. Socialism works by hacking the Social Calculus Module that humans have in our brains. Remember, humans care deeply about status. Status is what drives human behavior. Everybody works to achieve more status, and to avoid losing status. Socialism of course sells egalitarianism. It tells people with low status that they can get some more. The Industrial Revolution had forced millions of peasants into the cities, and they all felt they had lost status in the process. Economists will tell you that the standard of living of industrial workers (according to some measures) had actually improved. And that may be so, but the workers didn’t think so, and they were pissed.

So these socialists come by and tell them they have this plan to make them gain status, big time. That was huge. Yes, sure, Christianity had also started promising the meek that they were morally higher than rich people; they’d all go to heaven unlike those perfid rich guys. But that didn’t translate into actual, real-world status. Socialism was promising actual goods. And so it became huge. It’s still huge. It’s pretty much catnip for humans. It’s instant check-mate.

Socialism works not only because it promises higher status to a lot of people. Socialism is catnip because it promises status to people who, deep down, know they shouldn’t have it. There is such a thing as natural law, the natural state of any normally functioning human society. Basic biology tells us people are different. Some are more intelligent, more attractive, more crafty and popular. Everybody knows, deep in their lizard brains, how human mating works: women are attracted to the top dogs. Being generous, all human societies default to a Pareto distribution where 20% of people are high-status, and everyone else just has to put up with their inferiority for life. That’s just how it works.

Socialism though promised to change that, and Marx showed they had a good plan. Lenin then put that plan to work in practice. What did Lenin do? Exterminate the natural aristocracy of Russia, and build a ruling class with a bunch of low-status people. Workers, peasants, Jews, Latvians, Ukrainians. Lenin went out of his way to recruit everyone who had a grudge against Imperial Russian society. And it worked, brilliantly. The Bolsheviks, a small party with little popular support, won the civil war, and became the awesome Soviet Union. The early Soviet Union promoted minorities, women, sexual deviants, atheists, cultists and every kind of weirdo. Everybody but intelligent, conservative Russians of good families. The same happened in China, where e.g. the 5 provinces which formed the southern Mongolian steppe were joined up into “Inner Mongolia autonomous region”, what Sailer calls “consolidate and surrender”.

In Communist countries pedigree was very important. You couldn’t get far in the party if you had any little kulak, noble or landowner ancestry. Only peasants and workers were trusted. Why? Because only peasants and workers could be trusted to be loyal. Rich people, or people with the inborn traits which lead to being rich, will always have status in any natural society. They will always do alright. That’s why they can’t be trusted; the stakes are never high for them. If anything they’d rather have more freedom to realize their talents. People of peasant stock though, they came from the dregs of society. They know very well that all they have was given to them by the party. And so they will be loyal to the death, because they know it, if the Communist regime falls, their status will fall as fast as a hammer in a well. And the same goes for everyone else, especially those ethnic minorities.

Ethnics were tricky though, because they always had a gambit which could increase their status even further: independence. Which is why both Russia and China soon after consolidating the regime started to crack down on ethnics. Stalin famously purged Jews from the Politburo, used WW2 to restore most of the Tsar’s territory, and run such a Russia-centered state that to this day people in Kyrgyzstan speak Russian. The same in China, a little known fact of the Cultural Revolution was the huge, bloody purge in Mongolia and the destruction of many temples in Tibet. After that was done with, the Communist party became this strong, stable and smooth machine. The Soviet economy of course worked like shit, and that eventually resulted in the collapse of the system. But as China has shown, central planning is orthogonal to Leninist politics. China, of course, had to know. It had been running a centralized bureaucracy for thousands of years. Leninism was just completing the system.

So again, the genius of Leninism was in building a ruling class from scratch and making it cohesive by explicitly choosing people from low-status groups, ensuring they would be loyal to the party given they had much to lose. It worked so well it was the marvel of the intellectual classes of the whole world for a hundred years.

Meanwhile, what was the West doing? The West, that diehard enemy of worldwide Communism, led by the United States. What has been the American response to Leninism? Look around you. Read Vox. Put on TV. Ok, that’s enough. Who is high status in the West today? Women. Homosexuals. Transexuals. Muslims. Blacks. There’s even movements propping up disabled and fat people. What Progressivism is running is hyper Leninism. Biological Leninism.

When Communism took over Russia and China, those were still very poor, semi-traditional societies. Plenty of semi-starved peasants around. So you could run a Leninist party just on class resentments. “Never forget class-struggle”, Mao liked to say. “Never forget you used to be a serf and you’re not one now thanks to me”, he meant.

In the West, though, by 1945, when peace and order was enforced by the United States, the economy had improved to the point where class-struggle just didn’t work as a generator of loyalty. Life was good, the proletariat could all afford a car and even vacations. Traditional society was dead, the old status-ladders based on family pedigree and land-based wealth were also dead. The West in 1960 was a wealthy, industrial meritocratic society, where status was based on one’s talent, productivity and natural ability to schmooze oneself into the ruling class.

Of course liberal politics kept being a mess. No cohesion in a ruling class which has no good incentive to stick to each other. But of course the incentive is still out there. A cohesive ruling class can monopolize power and extract rents from the whole society forever. The ghost of Lenin is always there. And so the arrow of history kept bending in Lenin’s direction. The West started to build up a Leninist power structure. Not overtly, not as a conscious plan. It just worked that way because the incentives were out there for everyone to see, and so slowly we got it. Biological Leninism. That’s the nature of the Cathedral.

If you live in a free society, and your status is determined by your natural performance; then it follows that to build a cohesive Leninist ruling class you need to recruit those who have natural low-status. In any society, men have higher performance than women. They are stronger, they work harder, they have a higher variance, which means a fatter right tail in all traits (more geniuses); and they have the incentive to perform what the natural mating market provides. That’s the patriarchy for you. Now I don’t want to overstress the biology part here. It’s not the fact that all men are better workers than women. In a patriarchy there’s plenty of unearned status for men. But that’s how it works: the core of society is the natural performance of men; those men will naturally build a society which benefits them as men; some men free-ride on that, some women get a bad deal. Lots of structural inertia there. But the core is real.

To get to the point: in 1960 we had a white men patriarchy. That was perfectly natural. Every society with a substantial proportion of white men will end up being ruled by a cabal of white men. Much of its biology; part of it is also social capital, good cultural practices accumulated since the 15th century. White men just run stuff better. They are natural high-status. But again, nature makes for messy politics. There is no social value on acknowledging truth: everybody can see that. The signaling value is in lies. In the unnatural. As Moldbug put it:

in many ways nonsense is a more effective organizing tool than the truth. Anyone can believe in the truth. To believe in nonsense is an unforgeable demonstration of loyalty. It serves as a political uniform. And if you have a uniform, you have an army.

Or as the Chinese put it, point deer, make horse.

The point again is, that you can’t run a tight, cohesive ruling class with white men. They don’t need to be loyal. They’ll do ok anyway. A much easier way to run an obedient, loyal party is to recruit everyone else. Women. Blacks. Gays. Muslims. Transexuals. Pedophiles. Those people may be very high performers individually, but in a natural society ruled by its core of high performers, i.e. a white patriarchy, they wouldn’t have very high status. So if you promise them high status for being loyal to you; you bet they’re gonna join your team. They have much to gain, little to lose. The Coalition of the Fringes, Sailer calls it. It’s worse than that really. It’s the coalition of everyone who would lose status the better society were run. It’s the coalition of the bad. Literal Kakistocracy.

There’s a reason why there’s so many evil fat women in government. Where else would they be if government didn’t want them? They have nothing going on for them, except their membership in the Democratic party machine. The party gives them all they have, the same way the Communist party had given everything to that average peasant kid who became a middling bureaucrat in Moscow. And don’t even get me started with hostile Muslims or Transexuals. Those people used to be expelled or taken into asylums, pre-1960. Which is why American Progressivism likes them so much. The little these people have depends completely on the Left’s patronage. There’s a devil’s bargain there: the more naturally repulsive someone else, the more valuable it is as a party member, as its loyalty will be all the stronger. This is of course what’s behind Larry Auster’s First Law of minority relations: the worse a group behaves, the more the Left likes it.

This is also why the Left today is the same Left that was into Soviet Communism back in the day. What they approve of today would scandalize any 1920s Leftist. Even 1950s Leftist. But it’s all the same thing, following the same incentives: how to build a cohesive ruling class to monopolize state power. It used to be class struggle. Now it’s gender-struggle and ethnic struggle. Ethnic struggle works in America because immigrants have no territorial power base, unlike in Russia or China. So the old game of giving status to low-status minorities works better than ever. It works even better, unlike Lenin’s Russia, America has now access to every single minority on earth. Which is why the American left is busy importing as many Somalis as they can. The lowest performing minority on earth. Just perfect.

If you think it can’t get worse than transexuals or pedophiles, you’re really not understanding how this works. Look at this NYT article: a black woman, ex-con, convicted of murdering her own 4 year old son. She served 20 years in prison, which she spent studying sociology or something. After leaving prison, she applied to study a PhD at Harvard, which rejected her. Progressives were up in arms. How could you!

Go to the link, and look at that woman. Look at that face. She never expressed any remorse over killing her children. She lied about it in the PhD application. She disposed of the body and never told the cops where her son’s corpse is! This is utter and complete psycho. Nobody in their right mind would want anything to do with this woman. But that’s precisely the point. In most human societies before 1900 she would have been killed, legally or extralegally. But precisely this kind of person, someone who should in all justice be the lowest status person on earth; that’s exactly the people that the Left wants on its team. You can count on her extreme loyalty to any progressive idea that the party transmits to her. And so, yes, of course, she finally got her PhD, at New York University. And unlike 97% of PhD students out there, you can bet on her getting a full tenured professorship very soon.

Yes, it’s all madness, but it works. It really works like a charm. The richest parts of America, California and New York, are now a one-party state. America has legislation which forces every private enterprise of size to have a proportion of women, of black people and sexual deviants; who of course know they don’t belong there, and thus are extremely faithful political commissars. More faithful than the actual official political commissars that Communist China has also in their private companies.

And Biological Leninism is extremely powerful overseas too. The same way that Soviet Communism all had natural fifth-columns across the world, with industrial workers forming parties and all doing Moscow’s bidding across the West; American Biological Leninism is also an extremely strong means of agitation all over the world.

The United States has been the only superpower on earth since 1991. But that’s changing of late, with China’s growth into almost economic parity with the US, and Russia growing a pair, plenty of countries are now not following USG’s line. Southeast Asia is now pretty much China’s backyard. So now the United States is running an agitation campaign all over the world trying to undermine Chinese and Russian influence. As I’m most familiar with China, it’s very obvious what the USG line is. Appealing to women and homosexuals to become their fifth column. And it’s working. Every single article you see out there by a Chinese writing about how China should be more progressive (i.e. more American) is written by either a woman or a homosexual.

I read this article a while ago, which is infuriating. It’s about a particle accelerator that China is building. A Chinese-American writer interviews the head scientist there: and all she does is undermine his project, saying how Communist censorship means the whole project is tainted. The guy doesn’t get it. Why are you doing this to me, aren’t you a fellow Chinese?

No, she’s not. You know what she is? An ugly woman on her thirties. I know China well and ugly women on their thirties are very much not high-status in China today. Unlike in the West, where they’re the voluntary thought police, and you can’t even look at them. So of course any Chinese, or Russian, or Saudi, or Indonesian ugly woman in her thirties is, to the extent that she’s given access to US propaganda, going to become a fifth column against her country’s independence. And of course the same goes for ethnic minorities, the dumber the better. You want to get funding as a China expert in Western academia? You better be researching about Uyghurs or Tibetans. Those dumb and hostile minorities. So much more important than the oldest civilization on earth.

The question of course is how Biological Leninism is going to evolve. Both Soviet and Chinese Leninism changed a lot during their tenure. Stalin purged the party very hard, and after some decades, when all the memories of the pre-Soviet era were gone, and their power was secure, the CPSU started promoting high-performing (by the requirements of a political party, not a rocket science department, that is) Russian males. Which didn’t care much when the whole Soviet state collapsed. I guess they’re doing quite ok right now. Same in China: today the CPC is by no means a peasants and workers party. It’s a best-guy-of-the-class party. Loyalty is not ensured by the threat of landowners coming back to enserf them and their children; it’s ensured with a next-gen surveillance and propaganda apparatus. Note that both Russia and China kept class-struggle as the official ideology which everybody was (and is) forced to parrot incessantly to keep their jobs.

But exactly that is what makes it vulnerable to progressive attacks. I just blogged about how women and minorities have even less power than before in China. Let alone sexual deviants. No gay politicians in China. That alone makes a huge constituency, hundreds of million strong, of people in China that would prefer a Progressive government. That’s the people who America is now addressing, unlike the previous strategy of selling democracy and its free economy to the Chinese middle class. Those don’t look so good right now that the Chinese middle class arguably has a better standard of living that America’s. Certainly less stressful.

Let’s assume (hope) that America’s Coalition of the Fringes doesn’t succeed in destabilizing foreign countries. How is it going to evolve though? Again as I said, Russia and China both stopped their peasant kakistocracies after a few decades. But they already had a nominal single party dictatorship, and centuries of tradition of autocracy to feed upon. America is still 20 years away (if not 10) from a single party regime; and it has a tradition of adversarial democracy which makes it very hard to stop the ratchet. Even if it stopped, the ideology is already there. In the best-case scenario where a Democratic single-party regime gets its Stalin to purge the country of agitators and stabilize the regime, you still get 2020 rhetoric frozen as the state religion: women are sacred, can’t even joke about them, Islam is peace, transexuals get to retroactively change their birth certificates. It’s not okay to be white. White men get to run the country but they must parrot all this stuff 5 times a day, facing at the Great Zimbabwe.

Or Brazilification collapses the economy and everything goes to hell. Yeah, that’s more likely.

An open letter to Attorney General Barr

I guess Mr. Attorney General you may be asking yourself why I even wrote this letter. All it really does is point out the obvious.
Well, I am writing you this letter to tell you that We the People are tired of the Dual Justice System. We are tired of being targeted. We are tired of seeing our system abused by corrupt people. We are tired of seeing career Federal employees who have sworn an oath to their country, use their positions of trust to abuse and misuse the law.

An open letter to AG Barr
To: Attorney General of the United States William Barr
United States Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20530-0001
From: Patrick C. Kansoer Sr
Subject: Corruption, Equal Justice Under The Law
I write this letter to express my frustration, disappointment and the frustration, disappointment of millions of other Americans regarding the tyranny of the Dual Justice System that continues to perpetuate itself within the halls of the Department of Justice.
Whether you, or those within the Justice Department want to admit it, the people of the United States are tired of the cronyism, political slight of hands, and prosecutorial slights for supposedly powerful people that are little more than politically connected mobsters. Attorney General Barr, the people are not stupid, we see it.
Here are just a few examples.
The Clinton Foundation
Operating as a charity, it is also a foundation, which by IRS regulation and the law cannot be done. It has broken banking laws, it has co-mingled funds, it has undeclared revenues, it has operated as a foreign agent, it has laundered money, it has committed every kind of fraud possible. Yet, in the twenty plus years of operation, it has never fallen under the scrutiny of the IRS or Treasury Department for audit. How can this occur? Cronyism.
The Targeting of Conservative Groups by The IRS/Treasury Department
Millions of American’s civil liberties were violated by those within the IRS and Treasury Department. Those within the Tea Party, Right to Life, True the Vote, 2nd Amendment, Patriotism and other right leaning organizations were unduly targeted by the Federal Government for harassment and prosecution. When applying for 501.C3 status, some were even asked the content of their prayers. What kind of sick people do that?
How can this occur? It is the weaponization of government against large swathes of citizens without any accountability to the people.
The Running of the State Department on Private Email Systems
Hillary Clinton ran the State Department entirely on her own unclassified, unsecure, unauthorized and unaccountable email system. She compromised Top Secret SCI/SAP information which had dire National Security implications. She was allowed to destroy evidence, obstructing justice and yet she was allowed to run for President of the United States.How does this occur? Prosecutorial malfeasance and cronyism.
To make matters worse, the same investigative team that handed out unwarranted immunity deals and tanked the investigation, was the same group of un-elected individuals that lied to a Federal Court to go after Carter Page, George Papadopolous, Michael Flynn and others within the Trump Campaign.
Those are just three examples of InJustice perpetrated by the Department of Justice.
Shall I mention the Awan brothers congressional spying scandal? How about illegal surveillance of American citizens for political purposes using the NSA database and a tool aptly named The Hammer? Should I mention the entrapment operations used against George Papadopolous? How about Benghazi and the nostrums that were floated regarding that terrorist attack? Can I bring up the billions of dollars that are missing from the State Department while under Hillary Clinton? How about the Pay for Play schemes that were cooked up like Uranium One where 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of America was sold to the Russians for “donations” to the Clinton Foundation. The FBI had an informant in that scheme, which summarily after the deal was done, they put a gag order on.
My God, Jeffrey Epstein trafficked in little girls and the Department of Justice didn’t prosecute him. He ended up with a 13 month sentence on work release. Honestly, if that is not a glaring example of our dual justice system, nothing is.
Shall I go on? I believe I will.
Can I mention the illegal spying using supposedly friendly foreign intelligence services, on political candidates, a President-Elect and even the President of the United States after his inauguration? How about the use of and I quote Jim Comey, “False and Salacious” unverified political hit pieces to attempt the removal of a duly elected President of the United States? I know I dare not mention the years of illegal NSA database queries at the FBI under a “Dual Agency” agreement using contractors.
How about the legal wrangling associated with the leaker of the FISA Warrant application of Carter Page? You know the case, the Senate Intelligence Committee SCIF Operator and Security Manager? Yeah, that guy. That guy should have gone to prison for decades, instead he got a slap on the wrist. Cronyism?
How about the travesty and purely political Special Counsel Appointment and the targeting of people who had illegal surveillance warrants on them by the DOJ and FBI? What a national nightmare that has become. The American people can thank “Wear a Wire” Rod Rosenstein for that one.
I could go on but I think you get the idea.
I guess Mr. Attorney General you may be asking yourself why I even wrote this letter. All it really does is point out the obvious.
Well, I am writing you this letter to tell you that We the People are tired of the Dual Justice System. We are tired of being targeted. We are tired of seeing our system abused by corrupt people. We are tired of seeing career Federal employees who have sworn an oath to their country, use their positions of trust to abuse and misuse the law. We are tired of the cronyism. We are tired of the politicalization of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which has behaved more like a Gestapo/Stazi organization than Law Enforcement. We are tired of seeing our own government, the government we pay for, weaponized against the people. It works for us, not the other way around.
Finally, how can Ex-FBI Director Comey leak classified/government information to the press and remain a free man. How can Andrew McCabe leak Grand Jury information to the Press and be recommended for prosecution, and the Justice Department decline prosecution?
We are sick of it sir, you are our last hope in saving the sinking ship of “Equal Justice Under The Law” in the United States of America. Please clean it up and hold people accountable, it is our last chance to save our country.
If you don’t, I am afraid for our Republic. I am afraid there will be a rebellion to restore the law in the land. That would be a travesty when all it takes is some leadership, tough decisions and the restoration of the Rule of Law.
Please, I beseech you, be that man. I know it’s hard to prosecute your friends, but sometimes, for the greater good of your country, tough decisions have to be made.
Be that man.
Mr. Barr, it is time to hold people accountable.
Very Respectfully,
Patrick Craig Kansoer Sr.
