Purim Reflections on a country הפוך upside down

Purim started Thursday night, and continued on Friday till sunset, when Shabbat started. One of the things about Purim is we don’t listen to the scroll as mere (HAHA, mere) history, but as current, as our reality today, to see it through the lens of current events.

I listened to a very interesting podcast last week, the podcast discusses the genocide chart and points out the flaws in it. Nope, it’s not too negative, it’s too optimistic. It’s not that long, and well worth listening to.

Well, that’s not too hard. Let’s see, government that hates a segment of it’s own population and wants to kill them.

Basically, we are living under martial law, and have been for over a year. We no longer have the right to run our own businesses as we see fit, people that have had a business in their family for generations are losing their businesses and homes. The government decides whose life is essential and worthy of continuing.

You no longer have the right to redress of grievances, or even express an opinion on the past election, at least that’s how the rulers would have you believe. Don’t believe me? RUSSIA is saying that American citizens are being treated unfairly.

Quick pop quiz: Which supreme court justice served the shortest length of time? Amy Coney Barrett. Because with her and Kavanaugh (both who made so much of their faith, like Judas Pence) siding with the liberal court justices refusing to hear evidence in the election they have pretty much rendered the SCOTUS irrelevant. They will be packed soon enough. It will never be anything close to a real SCOTUS again. She carried on about how she “loves” the Constitution. Uh huh, like OJ loved Nicole. If they didn’t want to do the job, they shouldn’t have taken it.

Briefing by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, Moscow, February 4, 2021 Persecution of participants in January mass protests in the United States

We are deeply concerned about the ongoing persecution campaign against participants in the so-called storming of the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, and against anybody at all who does not agree with the results of the latest presidential election. US officials and an obedient media have labelled them “domestic terrorists.” By the way, did the ambassadors of EU countries or EU representatives in the US react in any way? Did they express concern about Washington’s rhetoric regarding its own citizens? No? Too bad.

The FBI has reportedly opened more than 400 criminal cases and applied for more than 500 search warrants and subpoenas for suspects; it has also brought charges against and detained around 200 people. Only several dozen defendants have been released on bail or placed under house arrest. The others are being subjected to harsh pressure, with members of their family and social circle being coerced into giving a “convenient” testimony. Moreover, people who have not even been officially charged are losing their jobs; they are being banned from social media and publicly ostracised.

Among other things, there is a question about the objectivity of the law enforcement agencies because they are essentially acting under orders and in line with the narrative of the current administration who declared the events of January 6, 2021 a riot and everybody who was near the US Congress on that day all but plunderers. Whereas in fact, the majority of those people were ordinary citizens concerned about the situation in their own country. These were 74 million voters who voted for their president and defended their views. I am using the same words that Washington has used with respect to our country.

Their protest will not just go away. You cannot just sweep discontent under the rug. Even the rhetoric that the United States allows itself to use with respect to Russia will not help distract public attention from the country’s own problems. They will have to be dealt with. US citizens deserve to be treated according to the law and in line with Washington’s international obligations. In this context, we have every reason to express concern and demand that basic human rights be observed. US officials are constantly and hypocritically taking care of these rights when it comes to other countries; and yet, they have no scruples in ignoring them at home. Why don’t you deal with your own problems? There are plenty of them and they need to be solved.

We intend to continue monitoring this issue and have a serious talk with Washington.

I’d just add we have darn good reason to doubt the validity of the election when 3 months after the election TIME magazine (I don’t take it, my puppy is house trained) publishes an article bragging about how they stole influenced “fortified” the election. Reminds me of a comment a Rabbi made sometime last week on a radio show about how evil has to brag about what it’s done. So meaningless show elections. Characteristic of communism and totalitarian?

Yes, I quoted the whole item in case it “disappears”. How sad is it when Russia has to point out the injustice. And they are correct. There are absolutely stories out there of people that were just at the capitol that day, but were identified (read ratted out) and have had visits from the FIB, full of threats and intimidation. One pair of brave FIB agents even took on a pregnant young mother at home with her four children under the age of 7.

It’s about the ideology, that tops everything. The media celebrates transgender Rachel Levine, the nominee for assistant health secretary who took her mother out of a nursing home two weeks before she started stuffing Wuhan flu patients into them. Meanwhile there is another transgender woman who has been in jail, stripped naked and left in open display with the lights on in her cell for 24 hours a day for 4 days. As of 22nd February, she was still being held without bond. Her crime? Right wing thought. She is a member of Oath keepers and was at the capitol on January 6th. Did she break anything? No. Did she attack anyone? No.

Meanwhile antifa and blm seem to be skating for their participation. UPDATE: BLM-Antifa Organizer John Sullivan, Who Was Arrested After Storming US Capitol, Bashing Windows Is Writing a Book, Being Paid for Video as Trump Supporters Rot in Jail

IGNORED BY THE MEDIA ELITES AND FBI: List of 20 Individuals at the Capitol on January 6th – All Appear to be Connected to Antifa or Far Left Groups

Unequal application of the law depending upon political beliefs?

PELOSI’S FAULT: Speaker Pelosi told Sgt. at Arms to Deny National Guard at Capitol Due to Optics – Left Building Unprotected then Lied About it- MUST RESIGN!

President Trump: Capitol Officials Controlled by Pelosi Rejected My Recommendation of 10,000 National Guard for January 6 Because of Optics

Propaganda style media covering for totalitarian regime?

I’d make a joke about Pravda here, but I’m not sure they aren’t more honest than American mainstream media at this point.

Is the government working to enslave citizens by using ruses?

HUGE EXCLUSIVE: US Dr. Ralph Baric Was Reviewing Moderna and Dr. Fauci’s Coronavirus Vaccine in December 2019! — What’s Going On?

Again, remember, Fauci was paying the Wuhan lab, even after Osama Obama told him to knock off the gain of function studies on the virus.

Did Fauci know the fix was in for Obama’s third term in the guise of hiden Biden, because he sure isn’t in jail. Why Is Dr. Fauci Receiving International Awards? Why is He Not Fired or Behind Bars?

There are some very interesting graphs in that article. Remember, it was the feckless Fauci who insisted the whole country had to be shut down ruining the economy and lives. But with leftists, the end justified the means.

Why is a Democrat campaign committee thanking Fauci? The whole article is pretty interesting.

As I was viewing The Hill’s website a day after Joe Biden’s “inauguration,” an interesting ad popped up on the screen. It featured a smiling Dr. Anthony Fauci, and the caption read ‘Thank you, Dr. Fauci!’ along with a link to “sign the card.” And who created (and paid for) this ad? Curiously, it was a fundraising arm of the Democrat Party, namely the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Why would they congratulate Fauci? Could it be that they’re grateful for the massive in-kind campaign donation by his advocacy of a massive lockdown of the American economy in a presidential election year?

The ruse that Wuhan flu justified the ruining of lives and the economy. Special favors for rats?

Branches of the government weaponized against its own citizens?

And as to some animals being more equal than others, may I just present this little conundrum.

While American citizens are masked, and locked in their homes losing their livelihoods, Obama’s sock puppet Beijing Biden has thrown open the border. We have no idea who is coming in, they are not masked, not Wuhan flu tested and we have no idea of the criminal background. Breaking: After Opening Southern Border to Illegals During Pandemic Biden Proposes Sweeping Amnesty Bill.

While American children are locked out of in class schooling due to pressure from the teacher’s union who want to be paid without having to actually, you know, teach, illegal alien children are treated to in class learning courtesy of the American taxpayer. WATCH: Trump Rips Into Biden for Bragging About Educating Migrant Kids at the Border — While American Children Can’t Go to School

I was talking to a friend of mine the other night. He’s an ex-pat living in Nicaragua and has for the last 20 or so years. He said tens of thousands of Nicaraguans have left and are in the US, now. He says they are met at the border with buses, loaded up and taken into America. I said America is becoming a communist country, why would they leave to come here? His answer? Because there they are going to get free stuff. He said one of these days when the government finally lets people out of their houses, there are going to be all these people and we are going to wonder where they came from. Neither one of us felt the need to mention who would be paying for the “free stuff”. Cloward-Piven, here we come. Wonder why congress wouldn’t work on the merit based immigration system President Trump was pushing for? Don’t even get me started on the “covid relief” bill. Children today will be living in economic slavery all their lives. Only about 09% has anything to do with covid relief. Citizens enslaved? Yepper.

So, you tell me, they let all these illegal aliens in, they don’t have to observe social distancing, masks, take experimental injections, have Wuhan flu swabs rammed up their noses and they get in person learning. Is Wuhan flu really that deadly a threat? Lying to the citizens to gain control?

We all know about the disaster in Texas, Texas Deaths May Be Due In Part to Biden’s Garbage Climate Change Executive Order and Related Actions

The loss of lives in Texas is due to the unusually cold weather but it may also be due in part to an Executive Order Joe Biden signed on his first day in office a month ago today.

Yesterday we reported on the recent Executive Order (EO) signed by Joe Biden one month ago today regarding climate change and the US’s actions related to it.

World Economic Forum Deletes Latest Video After Cheering Global Lockdowns that Pushed 100 Million Humans into Extreme Poverty

Schwab and the WEF cheered the empty streets insisting the global pandemic lockdowns were “quietly improving cities around the world.” The video highlighted deserted streets, empty factories and grounded planes. Evidently, the WEF has no concerns for the world’s poorest citizens who suffered greatly under the Fauci lockdowns for a virus that targeted 80-year-olds.

The Fauci global lockdowns will plunge 100 million into extreme poverty.

Don’t forget, these are the people that say by 2030 you will own nothing, have no privacy and be happy about it. Ask yourself, does Beijing Biden seem like an America first kind of guy? We’re back in the Paris climate accords, the WHO and the Iran nuclear deal, and out of the tough trade deal President Trump had with China. Nope, seems more like a globalist kind of tyrant with American citizens last kind of guy. He’s cool with the WEF plans.

If you haven’t listened to the podcast, one of the things the Rabbi points out is to take over a populace you have to keep them beat down and miserable. I’d say the items listed above are steps in that direction.

And last but not least, a Bill Clintoon advisor is concerned. How bad is it when a Clintoon advisor is concerned about what she sees? Former advisor to Bill Clinton and author, Naomi Wolf, was on Tucker Carlson’s Show on FOX News on Monday night. Naomi warned that under Biden America was becoming a ‘totalitarian state before our eyes’.

I’ve been writing for months and months about what I see as the terrible crisis that we’re in, that we have to recognize under the guise of a real medical pandemic. We’re really moving into a coup situation, a police state situation and that’s not a partison thing, that’s, as you say, that transcends everything you and I might agree or disagree on that should bring together left and right to protect or Constitution. We’re absolutely moving into what I call step 10.

I wrote a book in which I pointed out there were 10 steps that would-be tyrants always take when they want to close down a democracy. Whether they’re on the left or the right they always do the same 10 things and now we’re at something I never thought I’d see in my lifetime. You described it really, really well. It is step 10 and that’s the suspension of the rule of law, that’s when you start to be a police state and we’re here, there’s no way around it.

Upside down, honest American citizens are being used and abused, the attempts by the communists to use the power of the government against it’s own citizens is on full display.

But just like Hamen in the Purim story who had the power of the government on his side, he still ended up hanging from a tree. And as the Rabbi pointed out in the podcast, every totalitarian government will try to disarm the populace. It’s been that way since back in Biblical times. Do we have a tyrant in office with such aspirations?

But also like in the Purim story, even though G-d himself is never mentioned and remained hidden, he was there. He responded to Esther and Mordachai’s fast and their prayers. I know many in this country have been praying for G-d to intercede. I do not believe the majority of America wanted to turn their backs on the best economy in many years, the lowest rate of unemployment for minorities for years, if not ever. A man who absolutely embraced citizens being allowed to practice their faith openly, as long as it didn’t involve driving vehicles into crowds of people or blowing up buildings or people. Well, you get the idea. I do not believe the majority of Americans decided they wanted G-d out of America and their lives.

But there is one G-d, only one, and like it says in the Purim parody song, we know who really runs the show. אין עוד מלבדו

There is none besides him.

If you don’t know, that song is a parody of this one.

Wake Up, We Are At War

Every child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill because he comes to school with certain allegiances to our Founding Fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It’s up to you as teachers to make all these sick children well—by creating the international child of the future.”1

Chester M. Pierce, Professor of Education and Psychiatry, Harvard University

There is a threat posed to human freedom by the enormous power of the modern state. History teaches the dangers of government that overreaches—political control taking precedence over free economic growth, secret police, mindless bureaucracy, all combining to stifle individual excellence and personal freedom.”2

Ronald Reagan

As I write these words, premeditated illegal aliens, hoping to become legal aliens under Joebama’s planned amnesty, amass at America’s southern border.3 They are colonists, not immigrants. Visit any number of “Little Italy’s” in America’s cities. You find Italian flags, food, music, and some people still speaking the old tongue, but it will have a distinctly American feel. The ebb and flow of life is pure Americana. Not so with more recent “immigrants”. They colonize areas to which they migrate transforming them into the places from whence they came. Visit California and you will understand. Colonization, not assimilation.

Prior to the “election”, Republicans from Sean Hannity to President Donald Trump warned that Democrats were “radical” and “extreme” socialists different from previous party liberals. They made a mistake in the first case and were wrong in the second. Calling liberal Democrats radical socialists was preaching to the choir. They already knew this. Republicans needed to reach the average American. Those who attended public schools. Teachers often do not explain what socialism is nor its long tragic history. Instead of labels and name calling, Republicans needed to make the case that socialism destroys economies, destroys freedom, renders people subjects not citizens, and why. Are contemporary liberal Democrats more socialistic than party liberals of yore?

Beginning with Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal, liberals transformed America into a “Welfare State”. “The premise of the welfare state is the federal government is basically responsible for the material well-being of the American people”4, which, of course, flies in the face of constitutionally limited government. Programs falling under the welfare-state umbrella include poverty assistance, food stamps, medical insurance, social security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment insurance, bank and business bailouts, college tuition subsidies, and so forth. The “federal” government funds these programs by transferring the income from those who produced it to those who did not. However, this is not socialism, right?

As defined by two former adherents, socialism is “The economic system” in which “human” and “material resources” are managed and controlled by a relatively small group of people according to their view of a common good. The difference between socialism and capitalism is, in the former, the few make economic decisions, in the latter, private individuals do.5 Karl Marx, author of the Communist Manifesto wrote, “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs”.6 When government takes resources, whether corporate or individual, by force, and transfers them to those with lesser resources, they are acting out Marx’s maxim. “Recipients of entitlement spending, whether Social Security benefits, Medicaid, or food stamps, have property rights to income that takes precedence over the property rights of those who produce the income”.7 If a government owns material resources and controls their distribution to effect a desired outcome with respect to the material “well-being” of the people, it is a socialist system. If another government takes by force, through taxation, fees, and import duties, the material resources of corporations and individuals, transferring them to businesses and people to whom they do not belong, in order to effect a desired outcome, this too is a form of socialism. The difference being, in the latter case, private individuals still own the resources. However, since the purpose and outcome for both, determined by the few, is largely the same, the difference is in degree.8

Franklyn Roosevelt’s use of centralized top down economic decision-making to “manage” private resources led to a wholesale takeover by government. This is socialism. At the end of W.W. II, President Truman issued executive orders to seize private businesses “including a coal mine, three oil refineries, an airport, cotton mills, a railroad, the Chicago cab industry, and a rubber plant”. He asserted presidents had constitutional authority to take over private industries during emergencies. Democrats had used W.W. II to force Americans to accept government regimentation of all aspects of their lives. Nevertheless, Truman and New Deal Democrats were wrong on all counts. What they promoted was unconstitutional. After the war, Truman pushed socialized medicine, government control over prices and wages, and even threatened to draft striking coal miners into the U.S. Army if they did not go back to work.9 Lyndon Johnson’s implementation of socialist Great Society Programs would take pages just to list. How are these liberals different from those who Republicans call “radical socialists” in the modern Democrat Party? The difference is in what liberals can get away with now versus then.

Instead of fighting Democrat socialists tooth and nail for the past decades, Republicans waxed sanguine over compromise with their “friends across the aisle”. How is someone determined to destroy the religious and cultural way of life of others, their friend? How does one compromise with those whose lifegoal is to destroy the Constitution and Bill of Rights? They are not your friends. They are at war with you. Through use of language, liberals spill the beans.

First, as a policeman in California’s radical Bay Area, and later as a public high school teacher in a socialIST studies department, I was the target of numerous unprovoked and unsolicited debates with liberals. They typically took the form of hit-and-run verbal attacks. From these experiences, I reached two conclusions. First, liberals tend to use “Republican” and “conservative” interchangeably as if synonymous. Second conservatives and especially Republicans do not appear to grasp they are in a war with liberals for the fate of liberty. Their attitude toward political defeat is similar to losing a baseball game; “We lost today but we’ll get them the next time”. Could such naïve attitudes explain Republican’s lack of support for President Trump in the face of the nation’s first coup? The struggle to preserve and regain lost freedom is not a sporting event. There will be no rematch, no comeback, and no tomorrow.

The term “conservative” represents an ideology based on a shared set of cohesive and interrelated economic, philosophical, political, and social norms grounded in Judeo-Christian principles.10 Republican on the other hand refers to a political party. Parties are “a group of citizens organized to win elections, control government, and set public policy”.11 The latter lacks the ideological underpinnings of the former. In general, conservatives believe rights are inviolate bestowed on people by G-d as stated in the Declaration of Independence.12 Conservatives embrace the Founder’s cornerstones of American democracy: individual liberty, limited government, representative democracy, and rule of law.13 Liberal’s misuse of terminology and assumption that conservative and Republican are synonymous is autobiographical. It reveals that, for them, ideology and political party are inseparable. They assume Republicans are doctrinaire conservatives because so many Democrats are doctrinaire liberals. They hate Republicans not because they are rivals for political power but because they are engaged in an ideological war and assume Republicans are as well. However, this is not the case.

For example, George Bush 41 let Americans down as much as Bill Clinton did with respect to onerous gun-control laws. Bush 43 stated he would sign a so-called “assault weapons” ban if it reached his desk.14 Former Massachusetts Republican Governor Mitt Romney supported abortion, homosexual “marriage” (sic), gun control, and state mandated health insurance, positions no conservative could ever embrace. Since the 1960s, liberals have worked to wed leftist ideology to the Democrat Party until they are one and the same. Historian John Dziak notes that the conjoining of a political party with the state (government) led to the creation of a security state in the former Soviet Union. It was obsessed with protecting its power and rule through the identification of enemies, “real or notional, and then destroying them.” It created a security service that “penetrated and permeated all societal institutions” including education, mass media, and the military. From the Cheka to the KGB, it was ruthless and driven to find and destroy all “enemies”.15 Liberals used to make thinly veiled suggestions that conservatives were crypto-Nazis. Now, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Sandy Cortez, Kali Harris, CNN, the New York Times, and many others are out of the closet asserting conservatives are Klansmen, Nazis, and vile racists, enemies America must destroy. Thin veils are gone.

David Horowitz contends that, until the ascendancy of George McGovern in the Democrat Party (1972), American political contests between Democrats and Republicans were non-ideological family feuds. This changed in the late 1960s when the counterculture Left took control of and reshaped the Democrat Party in its own image. He argues the Democrat Party is now almost indistinguishable from the traditional left-wing parties of Europe that made up the “Second Socialist International”. American liberals in general view rights as creations of government a view shared by European socialists. They reject the principle of limited government as well as the contractual nature of the Constitution. What the liberal media refers to as a “culture war” represents a conservative reaction to the Left’s assault against the Republic’s founding principles. Nevertheless, conservatives, especially those calling themselves Republicans, do not realize they are in a war according to Horowitz.16 Country club blue-blood Republicans from Theodore Roosevelt, Nelson Rockefeller, both President Bush’s, and Mitt Romney appear to view the Republican Party simply as a vehicle through which they can express their sense of noblesse oblige (nobility obligates). It is their duty to govern by virtue of their aristocratic birth. Ideology plays no role in their motivation to seek office. To win elections they are forced to associate with undesirables in the Republican Party; farmers, blue-collar workers, Christians, pro-lifers, 2nd Amendment advocates, supporters of traditional marriage, NASCAR-types, and the sort who shop at Bass Pro. Once elected, the blue bloods are free to disassociate from the rabble until the next election cycle. Laura Ingraham writes that many Republicans look down “on socially conservative, middle-class Americans as being too radical and hard-edged”. She calls them elitists and notes they “pride themselves on their ‘moderation’ ‘pragmatism’ and ability to forge ‘bipartisan agreements with their ‘good friends’ the Democrats.” She names Senators Lincoln Chafee, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins as examples of liberal Republicans who demonstrate their sophistication and fair-mindedness by agreeing with the liberal Democrat agenda.17 I could add to this list many other names. How are Republicans, doormats for Democrats, a viable alternative?

When Democrats control both chambers of Congress and the White House, they will be free to implement their three-pronged strategy to remake America in their socialist image and leave Republicans a permanent minority party. They will continue to neutralize conservatives through smear and slander campaigns rendering traditional Judeo-Christian moral values socially unacceptable. Liberals will denature the Republican Party by convincing them election of another Reagan is impossible. Instead, they must nominate “moderate” Republicans (liberals on the installment plan) to have any chance of winning the White House. This will kill support among real Americans for the Republican Party. Democrats will pass far-reaching socialistic legislation to further American dependency on the government guaranteeing Democrat rule in perpetuity. People will vote Democrat or risk losing goodies such as “free” healthcare. In addition, their assault on conservative radio and social media will escalate. Their listeners represent what former Maryland Governor Spiro T. Agnew called the “silent majority”.18 If liberals can discredit these spokesmen for conservatism, their voice and influence will disappear.

Former Connecticut Republican Congressman Chris Shays built a long career of bipartisanship by aping his liberal Democrat colleagues. Earning a lifetime score of only 44% from the American Conservative Union before he was retired, Shays told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell that the Republican Party should broaden its base to include so-called moderates and liberals. Is he an Episcopalian? He added that former Vice President Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh should not be deciding who is or is not a good Republican and that Colin Powell was indeed “a good Republican for a long time”.19 After “good Republican”, Colin Powell turned on John McCain and endorsed Democrat Barack Obama he hit the speaking circuit with further denunciations of conservatives. He warned Republicans must broaden their party’s philosophical message meaning, become liberals. When asked by Bob Schieffer to respond to Limbaugh’s claim he was really a Democrat, Powell stated, “Republicans would be better off if they didn’t have Rush Limbaugh out speaking for them”.20 Regrettably, President Reagan appointed classroom Lt. General Colin Powell to deputy national security adviser in 1987.21 George W. Bush later appointed Powell to be Secretary of State. David Frum, liberal’s favorite “conservative Republican”, (who came out in support of homosexual marriage and voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016), jumped on the bandwagon with Powell and Shays. He agreed with Obama Chief of Staff and former Clinton hatchet man Rahm Emmanuel that Limbaugh is aggressive, bombastic, has a history of bad marriages, is a fat drug addict, and now is the head of the Republican Party. He accused Rush of wanting the party to lose because this will somehow increase his control over them. He advised Republicans to “modulate” their “social conservatism” meaning silencing the voices of Christians, pro-lifers, and those who support Biblical “marriage”.22 In short, faux conservatives like Shays, Powell, and Frum pushed to transform the Republican into the Democrat-Party Lite. Democrats fight for what they believe in and Republicans help them. Perhaps Republicans forget Reagan won two terms as Governor of a liberal state. When he ran for president, Reagan refused to modulate his conservative message that government was the problem not the solution and won two-landslide elections in the process.

I have no doubt Democrats rigged the 2020 presidential election and, through massive fraud and ballot stuffing, stole it from Donald Trump. It represents the first Lain American style coup in U.S. history. Americans are witnessing a political party, in cahoots with an entrenched bureaucracy, State media, and Big Tech, successfully depose an elected president. If Americans do not take a stand, if they do nothing, it is over. My respect for this country, its institutions, and neighbors will be gone. It will be time to furl the flag. If I am correct about them, Republicans will cast about for a Mitt Romney, Nikki Haley type “me-too” Republican for 2024. They will work behind the scenes to silence Trump supporters and his influence from the party…forever.

As Ever Was

I listened to a couple of interesting radio shows today on Israel Newstalk radio while I was working outside. One of them was Political Hitman, and the topic was the 25th anniversary of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin. The other was The Jay Shapiro show, and his topic was The American Election and Israel.

Both of them dovetail with the dumpster fire we are seeing on a daily basis. The left is fast accelerating from #AspiringTyrants to #Tyrants. They no longer feel they need to hide their agenda and their plans for America. I don’t know if I was ever naive enough to think that the left wanted what was best for America, they just thought there was a different path to achieve it. They don’t want that, they want to destroy her. At the root of their belief system is communism. Communism where everyone is equal. In misery. They all have the same, deprivation, misery and pain. Except of course, the ones at the top, they dine very nicely on the suffering of others. The enabling people always seem to think they will somehow be at the top of the food chain. I guess that’s why they’re called useful idiots.

Then we hear that Venezuela or Cuba, or Russia, or or or didn’t do “socialism” right, or they don’t want that kind of “socialism”. I’ve got a newsflash, there is no “right” and it’s only socialism until the populace is completely defenseless. Then like the biden harris harris biden administration, the mask comes off. You see it’s a very predictable result. And this is from 2006, so it’s higher by now.

Communist body count by country.

The military wing of the party of the left, they aren’t democrats anymore, the BLM movement and antifa are beginning to make their demands known to the new communist regime that is currently pretending they’re coming to power. I’m praying they go down in flames. BLM founder calls for Biden to sign radical legislation to ‘abandon police, prisons, and punishment paradigms’

The BREATHE Act demands the dismantling of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, and immigration detention centers….

would create a commission to study reparations proposals for African Americans, based on “mass criminalization – including the War on Drugs, the criminalization of prostitution, and police violence; border violence; and the systemic violation of the U.S. Government’s treaty obligations to Tribal nations.”….

The legislation calls for the removal of all police, school resource officers, and armed security from schools, plus the metal detectors and surveillance equipment would be banned.

Public school systems would be required to develop curricula that examines “the political, economic, and social impacts of colonialism, genocide against indigenous people, and slavery.”

No mention was made if there will be time for math, science or English classes. Maybe they will be electives.

AOC Demands Joe Biden To Enact Policies From The Green New Deal (VIDEO)

The left will use the power of the government against it’s citizens in a heartbeat, that’s how they roll.

But one of the most disturbing things I am seeing is the willingness of ordinary people to justify using fear, threats, intimidation and violence to attack people that love America but have a different opinion of politics. I would say they have a different moral compass. Actually, I would say they have a moral compass. Full stop. It’s full on gaslighting. For the last 4 years we’ve been treated to lies from the left and the media during obamagate, the Steele dossier, the fraudulent (and very expensive) impeachment efforts. Attacks on Trump supporters, sometimes enabled by the very law enforcement officers they defend. WATCH: D.C.

The NY Post should sue the heck out of him.

The left (communist) wants America to be a one party nation, and they are the one party. They will lie, cheat, and steal to win power.

What will they do with that power? It’s about the power to destroy America.

But I have news for these elites that think their alliance with the storm troopers of blm and antifa have assured them compliance and victory. It may not be so easy. Antifa wants chaos and anarchy. That means the endgame is no demoncrats as well. Actually I maintain that party died the day pelosi and schumer knelt down wearing kinte cloth in an abject surrender and appeasement.

And this was post election.

Like Illan Omar said, they want the destruction of America. Newsome, Cuomo and the lot are just useful idiots.

I find history fascinating. I referenced a Political Hitman episode earlier in this column. In this episode he talked about the Altalena, the ship that was bringing arms and new immigrants to Israel to fight in the battle for Independence. The Irgun had done a campaign in Europe to raise funds and buy arms to fight and the desperately needed supplies were coming in on the ship. Menachem Begin was head of the Irgun, and he was right wing.

David Ben Gurion and Yitzhak Rabin were left wing. They ordered the Altalena attacked. I’ve done a column with more details on that here. But the point Howie was making in the podcast is the left was willing to destroy the arms and ammunition that would win the war for the Jews and secure their homeland in order that the right not be in control of the government of Israel. Including firing on Jews in the water as they jumped from the burning vessel.

They did not succeed in killing Menachem Begin that day, and he called off the fight in order that the country shouldn’t be destroyed. He later became prime minister.

There is little if anything to admire about the left. It’s about power and control, of government, of people.

Menachem Begin faced off with Joe Biden once (at least) on June 22, 1982. There used to be video of this, but I can’t find it now. Go figure. But here was his reply to Hidin’ Biden.

“Don’t threaten us with cutting off your aid. It will not work. I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history. Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country. We paid for it. We fought for it. We died for it. We will stand by our principles. We will defend them. And, when necessary, we will die for them again, with or without your aid.”

Senator Biden reportedly banged the table with his fist, and Begin retorted,

“This desk is designed for writing, not for fists. Don’t threaten us with slashing aid. Do you think that because the US lends us money it is entitled to impose on us what we must do? We are grateful for the assistance we have received, but we are not to be threatened. I am a proud Jew. Three thousand years of culture are behind me, and you will not frighten me with threats. Take note: we do not want a single soldier of yours to die for us.”

If we let the left succeed, we will not recognize America very shortly I’m afraid. The left is about power and control and the people that seem to choose it’s path like to hurt things. People, businesses, religion. So many of them lack information to make wise, informed choices and form honest opinions because the media has abandoned their duty. They are all in now with trying to control people by denying them accurate information and feeding them false information in an attempt to control them and the outcome of events.

As ever it was.

Lifting the Veil on the Black Lives Matter Movement

Coronshevik

 

I finally had an encounter with the Coronshevik Red Guard in a large grocery store. One of my kids graduated Medical School calling for a memorable celebration. I flew her in from one state and overnighted Maryland crab cakes and jumbo shrimp from the Chesapeake Bay. We had corn on the cob and Coleslaw but no hush puppies. This would not do for true Marylanders so grabbing my daughter it was off to the store. Wearing proper suffocation devices, we searched high and low for hush puppy mix to no avail. Crafty owners had remodeled the store. My daughter thought she spied the mix on shelves we had passed requiring backtracking. A stout middle-aged woman with dark hair, leading a conga line coming in the opposite direction said in a snarky tone, “You’re going the wrong way”. “It doesn’t really matter” I replied. “Yes it does”, she said snarling at me. “Mind your own business”, I said. Everyone in the aisle heard the exchange. I was so proud of myself. These Kool Aid drinkers are typical of the obedient goons once swelling the Bolsheviks Party’s ranks who later went on to become presidents of Home Owner’s Associations. Doom on them.

Sports are dead

 

 

 

Indians, drums, tomahawk chops, Chiefs, and Redskins, oh my. These symbols represent the closest brush most Americans will ever have with an Indian. One is already gone and if cancel culture has its way, in order to purge their racism, gutless guilt-ridden whites will hurl the rest down into a deep dark basement along with George Washington and Christopher Columbus. White teens, angry and depressed over their skin color, toss and turn at night wishing they could pull a reverse Michael Jackson hiding the shame with which they were born. The BLMM (Black Lives Matter Movement as apart from the organization BLM) is telling white people that they are inherently racist and denial is proof of the crime. Each white person must engage in self-examination for any signs of racism, confess, and root it out. When people march under the BLM banner, utter its slogans, and wear its apparel they are saying; the United States is a terribly racist country, all white people are racists, police brutality is the norm, and those who say “all lives matter” are also racists. White people must engage in acts of contrition to prove they are not racist. Regrettably, this has spilled over into sports.

Smollet-Nascar version

 

 

 

 

NASCAR originated from bootleggers “hopping” up stock cars to outrun

Treasury Department agents attempting to arrest them for the manufacture and distribution of untaxed liquor.1 Mixed race (half white and half black) NASCAR driver Bubba “Smollett” Wallace’s race team found a noose hanging in the pit garage assigned them for the 25 June 2020 race at the Talladega, Alabama Superspeedway. Following the George Floyd tragedy, 

millionaire Wallace bedecked his car with BLM logos, donned BLM apparel, and forced NASCAR to ban fans from wearing attire featuring the Confederacy’s Battle Flag. One man supplants the history and culture of an entire region. From Washington, D.C. the FBI dispatched fifteen agents to investigate this heinous hate crime. Fellow NASCAR drivers pushed Wallace’s car around the track together in solidarity against the racism suddenly plaguing America. FBI special agents left quietly. There was no hate crime. The “noose” was simply a looped rope used to raise and lower doors…in all the pit team garages.2

The oppressed millionaire Hamilton

 

 

 

Formula 1 is a European oriented motorsport featuring single seat, open cockpit, and open wheel car racing. Drivers compete on tracks and courses winding through city streets. It has been my favorite sport since I was a child.

Lewis Hamilton was born and raised in England. His Caribbean father is black and his English mother white. Because of its origins, Formula 1 has always been essentially a “white” sport. Nevertheless, a white team and owner, white trainers, and white promoters gave a young Lewis his shot at making a team. They guided and assisted his training and development until he was ready for the big show. He has won six world championships (the record set by Michael Schumacher is seven). Hamilton owns mansions, a penthouse, and expensive apartments around the world. Mercedes pays him a tidy $52+ million a year. His legion of devoted fans are mostly white as well. Rich, successful, loved and adored, he has it all. Perhaps desiring to add meaning to his dilettante socialite bon vivant life jetting around the world with models and celebrities; one party after another, Lewis decided he was an aggrieved American black man. Maybe he channeled his inner “homey” fantasizing about being rousted by the racist Los Angeles PD. He compelled Mercedes to change its silver cars to a menacing and angry black in support of…Black Lives Matter. His car’s livery sports BLM slogans. Formula 1’s ruling body, apparently unaware of the paucity of black fans, forces drivers to wear “End Racism” T-shirts on the grid before each race. Countries hosting races had to paint BLM-like slogans on their trackside buildings. Not only does pink ball cap wearing Hamilton take a knee before each race, he raises an angry clenched fist, 60s black power style. He condemns drivers who do not kneel as racists. I know this because I was a Hamilton fan, T-Shirts and all. No longer. For his ignorance and betrayal of fans like me, I have binned my Hamilton memorabilia.

Among countries, hosting Formula 1 races are Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Red China, and Vietnam. In Bahrain and the U.A.E., government tightly controls the media, there is no freedom of speech, and all law must conform strictly to Islamic Sharia law. Women in the latter at best are second-class citizens. Red China and Vietnam are brutalitarian Communist dictatorships. The former is a nation of gulags, mass murder, and slavery. Is it not the height of hypocrisy for Formula 1 to take a stand against racism but host races in the above listed nations? Does Red China manufacture team fan apparel? Hamilton hails from one of the nations that brought slavery to North America and colonized Africa, Asia, India, and the Caribbean. How dare this beneficiary of Britain’s historic racism and slavery condemn the United States?

Following the Austrian Grand Prix (2020), retired English former world champion Jenson Button lamented the “bad optics” of not all drivers taking a knee with Hamilton. He said Formula 1 needed to catch up with other professional sports in support of BLM adding, people must discuss racism every day, at work, at home, wherever. Button is wrong. Most people are not racist nor do they need lectures from individuals who believe celebrity status confers on them superior moral superiority over others. Fans watch sports for entertainment not political indoctrination. Could it be Button is the one in need of self-examination? Worse, BLM T-shirts and kneeling validate the notion America is so horridly racist, every black man must look left and right before stepping out his front door because the police are waiting to gun him down. This is a monstrous lie perpetuated by those with a virulently anti-American political agenda. Aiding and abetting The Lie are brainwashed young white people. In addition to the pernicious influences of Hollywood, television, music, and absentee parents, am I going to point an accusatory finger at public education? You bet I am.

I spent 25 years in public education teaching courses in history and government until Leftwing Wokesheviks canceled me. Because I was under constant surveillance for evidence of conservative views by spies in the SocialIST studies department’s Ministry of Leftist Conformity, I was circumspect when speaking. Students repeat what teachers say. I knew everything I said can and would be distorted, twisted, and used against me. Nevertheless, eventually students recognized I did not sing from the same Red sheet music as my colleagues. Some realized what passed for teaching in many classes was, in reality, political indoctrination. What they found most offensive was the “Privilege Walk”.

In April of 2016, several students visited with me after school. These girls were visibly upset relating what happened in sociology class. Their liberal teacher took her class to the auxiliary gym, arranged them in a horizontal line across the middle of the floor, and, read a list of statements that for each student was either true or false. If true, they took a step forward, if false, they took a step back. Questions included; are you white? Do you live with both parents? Do you live in a single family home? Is either of your parents a white-collar professional? Do any of your family members play golf or tennis? Were you born in the U.S.? Has anyone mistreated you because of your ethnicity or race? Do you have all the food and clothes you want? Do you have your own car? Do you have blonde hair? Do you have blue eyes?

When the teacher completed the Privilege Walk, only a few kids had taken steps forward. They were all white, mostly female, and mostly blonde haired, blue eyed. This “white-shaming” had a profound and unpleasant impact on these teenagers. “Cancel Culture” designed this project to prove, by their more comfortable standard of living, white students are the recipients of race-based privileges. Instead of teachers pointing out because of the hard work, education, and sacrifice of parents some kids enjoy a higher standard of living than do peers, they insist racism is the cause for all social-economic discrepancies. College professors and high school teachers have employed the Privilege Walk for years. Their goal is to brainwash white middleclass students into believing any advantages they enjoy over minority students results from “white privilege”. This they claim is a system of institutionalized racism designed to maintain white cultural, economic, and political dominance over other races. The apex of society is a private club. One must be Caucasian to join. Whites do this because of their inherent racism. It is in their DNA. This is what liberal teachers are doing to your kids, people.3

The scheme behind the privilege walk is as insidious as it is ingenious. Once white kids buy in to the notion they are privileged and inherently racist, it neuters any future opposition on their part to the Left’s political agenda. Because the Left cloaks all it does in racial terms, it automatically triggers in young whites, feelings they are racist if they oppose them. For example, they have racialized every aspect of their socialist agenda from global warming, clean water, the criminal justice system, free college, to healthcare. To oppose any aspect of it demonstrates one’s “white privilege”. Hence, young whites shut up and go along with the program. In addition, they are deaf to people who point this out because opposition can only stem from inherent racism even if the one speaking out is black! Not every white middleclass student experiences the Privilege Walk. Nevertheless popular culture, racial grievance groups, and peers bombard them with messages they are the beneficiaries of white privilege. Disbelief or rejection of this notion proves they are racist. It is like the old Salem witch test. Bind and throw the girl into a pond. If she floats, she’s a witch. If she drowns, she was innocent. There is another serious problem with the Privilege Walk.

Minority students see they are the one’s stepping back and only white kids stepping forward. Teacher explanations are clear; those stepping forward are the recipients from society of unmerited privilege based solely on their race. This must engender jealously, resentment, anger, and hatred amongst minorities toward “privileged” whites. Is it possible this form of resentment fuels the rage and violence of recent “protests”? Prior indoctrination by liberal public school teachers sets the stage so that it requires little for leftist college professors to administer the coup de grace. Not only do they teach their captives about systemic white racism, they tell them the standard of living enjoyed by middle-class whites is the direct result of slavery. Professors teach America’s wealth is not the result of rugged individualism, hard work, the free market, entrepreneurs, and innovation supported by the principles of limited government and individual liberty. Rather Americans built wealth on the backs of slave labor. Slaves, who, last harvested crops almost 160 years ago, created the wealth expropriated by white businesses, banks, and government to create its comfortable society. White students seem to accept this Marxist fantasy history without animadversion. Does anyone ask, if this was true, why are former slave empires France, Portugal, and Spain economic wrecks? Why are American blacks richer across the board than blacks in any other country? Does anyone consider the successful struggle of Chinese and Mexicans to achieve success in America?

Proof this indoctrination has “taken” manifests itself in the way white talking heads exhaust the pages of Roget’s Thesaurus trying to paint thugs, rioters, and criminals as saints and the police as bad guys. So heavily has the liberal media bought into notions of inherent white racism, they cover the rare instances of white on black crime non-stop while completely ignoring the vastly more frequent cases of black on white crime. I will say what no one else will; it is because they believe white people, regardless of how innocent, collectively deserve it. Innocent whites are sacrificial lambs. Their beatings, robberies, rapes, and murders pay the substitutionary price for the guilt of the entire white race.

Black professor Derrick Bell, New York University of Law is the pioneer of “Critical Race Theory” (CRT). Bell argues, “Race plays the same role as class in the Marxist paradigm”. Marx argued wealth and the means of production determines economic class and those at the top suppress efforts by those beneath them to rise. Likewise, CRT contends race is also a system locking people into inferior social, economic, and political classes. Bell contends white support for civil rights and equality exists only in those areas in which it promotes “white self-interest and social status”. According to Bell, Professor Alan Freeman, and college professors who embrace CRT, “racial minorities” in America “are a permanently oppressed caste—and racism is a normal, permanent aspect of American life”. In addition, blacks regard “equality before the law” an insult and form of oppression because “their moral claims are superior to those of whites”.4 Critical Race Theory, dominant on most American campuses, asserts that the white race has constructed all institutions and the legal system to maintain its dominance and prevent change. Therefore, being outside the law, blacks have a right to determine for themselves which laws they will obey and respect and which they will not”.5

Professors have taught CRT in colleges for years. BLM spokesmen reflect its ideology through claims looting is not criminal but instead represents reparations owed to black people for slavery. Therefore, to label looters as criminals is racist.6 Could it also explain why white middle-class millennial news reporters excuse the ongoing riots and large scale looting, while liberal Democrat mayors stand by and do nothing? In their minds, the white race must atone for its sins. They wage war against whites who parents raised their children to protect the status quo at all costs. Proof they are racists is angry denial by whites that white privilege even exists.7

In his 1995 book, Lies My Teacher Told Me (praised by communist pseudo-historian Howard Zinn), Professor James W. Loewen writes, “Slavery’s twin legacies to the present are the social and economic inferiority it conferred on blacks and the cultural racism it instilled in whites”. The legacy of slavery and white racism “continue to haunt our society”.8 Loewen’s books, and what he teaches his students, are exemplars of Critical Race Theory. Whites building structural repression of blacks into all American institutions is a central tenet of both CRT and the BLM movement. Its proponents use it to explain all disparities between the races. They also posit a form of inherited generational PTSD to explain why black communities continue to suffer high rates of crime and poverty compared to other minority communities. In short, Slavery was such a horrific experience for blacks they continue to suffer deep psychological pain and emotional trauma to this day. Indeed, many marching under the umbrella of BLM, whether the organization or the general movement, believe “white society” is beyond salvation.9

There is a reason why the liberal Enforcers of Political Correctness become hysterical and “cancel” anyone who dares suggest perhaps the government and blacks are in some measure, to blame. Black economist Thomas Sowell, among others, notes prior to Democrat President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society social welfare and affirmative action programs, (which favors blacks over whites in hiring and promotion) the black community was fine. It had equal or lower rates of crime, unwed mothers, and high school dropouts than whites. When government programs, enacted by liberals, negated the value of a father in the home, the black race, like any other, suffered the consequences. Fathers are an integral part of stable families. For liberals to acknowledge this truth, they would have to confess their programs destroyed the black family. They are responsible for the pathologies plaguing the black community.10

The Black Lives Matter Movement protests, apart from the eponymous organization, is both a political and religious movement. Religions have, to varying degrees, a set of basic tenets and doctrinal beliefs. BLMM’s core religious beliefs include; from its origins, the white race exhibited an overwhelming imperative to conquer, subjugate, colonize, and enslave other races. It is so much a part of its history this desire has entered Caucasian DNA, which they transmit, to all succeeding generations. Nothing can erase either the white race’s history of colonization and enslavement or its genetic proclivity toward racism. Nothing can correct or ameliorate this race’s injustices, past or present. Because of this, and the white race’s inability to excise racism from its DNA, Caucasians are irredeemable. The degree to which the majority of blacks believe the above will determine the future shape of America. If the majority hold to these tenets, the conclusion is inescapable; the black and brown races must separate from the white race. Rejection of these tenets means letting go of a past that cannot be undone and going forward, together, in search of true brotherhood.

11 Had the government received its “cut”, always in the form of a “Tax Stamp”, bootlegging would have been legal. Someone once told me the difference between the government and the Mafia is there are less Italians working for the government.

Freedom and the Role of the Militia Part III

You can’t fist fight tyranny

The American people, Lee wrote Samuel Adams, had not fought the British only to be ‘brought under despotic rule under the notion of strong government, or in the form of elective despotism; Chains still being chains, whether made of gold or iron’. The “Corrupting nature of power’ made it essential for public safety that ‘power not requisite should not be given’ to government and ‘that necessary powers should be carefully guarded”.1

Richard Henry Lee

America is a system of taxation to which a government is attached.”2

Part 1 covered an article by conservative journalist Daniel McCarthy wherein he rebutted liberal solutions to Public Mass Shootings (PMS). He hit the right chords at first but then notes turned sour. McCarthy tied private ownership of firearms to membership in a militia under strict State control. He contends the Virginia Declaration of Rights (1776) “inspired” the Second Amendment. He adds a reason to keep arms is to maintain a well-regulated militia “under strict subordination to, and governed by the civil power” dismissing as “right-wing folklore” claims the Amendment’s authors in any way intended it to support citizen uprisings against a tyrannical government i.e. Shay’s Rebellion.3 Stephen King writes in Danse Macabre that Bram Stoker’s Dracula inspired his novel Salem’s Lot, an homage to Stoker. However, King’s novel is wholly his own and the narrative quite different.4 McCarthy’s problems are more serious than errant extrapolation.

Article III of the Virginia Declaration of Rights written by George Mason reads, “That a well regulated militia, composed of the Body of the People, trained to Arms, is the proper, natural, and safe Defence of a free State; that standing Armies, in Time of Peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty” [emphasis and spelling in the original].5 Regardless of inspiration, Virginia’s Declaration of Rights is not the Second Amendment. In addition, local autonomous militias pre-existed declarations and constitutions.

Colonial survival, especially in outlying villages and settlements, required individuals possess and be skilled with arms long before the Revolution. For the most part, Americans did not acquire skill at arms serving in militias or in standing armies.5 No army or police force existed to protect colonists from criminals or against attacks by the French and their Indian allies. When British Royal Governors began seizing the firearms and ammunition of colonials, Virginians George Washington, and George Mason formed the Fairfax County Militia Association. It was a ground up not top down unit. Enlistment was voluntary. Each member had to supply his own weapons and ammunition and they chose officers through election.6

Mason shed light in 1775 on the meaning of militia noting a “well regulated militia” was comprised of “Gentleman, Freeholders, and other Freeman”. Its purpose was to “protect ‘our ancient Laws & Liberty’ from a standing army” [emphasis and spelling in the original].7 For Mason and many of his contemporaries, a standing army, whether British or American, national or state, was a threat to liberty. Mason wrote, “All men are by nature born equally free and independent”. The greatest threat to liberty was government in all its forms. He defined a “well-regulated” militia as the whole of the people, possessed of arms, who formed and organized themselves into “independent companies” prepared to “resist the standing army of a despotic state”.8 Founding Father Richard Henry Lee observed a militia could only consist of the people as a whole. If it was organized and maintained in continual service, it would constitute a “select militia” no different from a standing army in peacetime a practice that the Founders, for the most part, abhorred.9

Americans and political leaders universally viewed the individual right to keep and bear arms, and the right of States to call up a militia, as two separate issues neither dependent on the other. Beyond the Founder’s hope that Americans would maintain their precision with arms, the right to keep and bear arms had/has nothing to do with membership in a militia. If states called on the people to form a militia, prior experience with arms would lessen the time to train them.10 Had the Founders known future Americans would manufacture confusion concerning the Second Amendment’s meaning, they might have bifurcated it into two separate amendments. Why didn’t they? At the time State delegates ratified and then amended the Constitution, there was no confusion with respect to the right to keep and bear arms. It was an individual G-d given right. Some delegates opposed adding a Bill of Rights to the Constitution as superfluous. States delegated specific authorities to the federal government enumerating them in Article I, Section 8. Government cannot regulate activities or rights over which it has no authority. The States delegated to the federal government no authority to regulate the right to keep and bear arms. For it to do so is unconstitutional. Various state delegates argued to declare that people have an individual right to keep and bear arms was akin to declaring people breath air.11

Part 2 explained the so-called “Shay’s Rebellion” in Western Massachusetts was used by proponents of a strong national government, who wanted to jettison the Articles of Confederation, as a boogeyman to whip up fear among Americans that the nation was falling apart. Like public schools today, merchants of mendacious propaganda told Americans then that landless rabble, thieves, bandits, and poor hardscrabble farmers deeply in debt had formed a violent mob and marched on Boston to overthrow the state government. If successful, the rebels would have freed men in debtor’s prisons, erased public and private debts, and seized the land of the rich to divide among themselves. This story is problematic to say the least.

Shay’s was actually several rebellions led for the most part by leading men in their communities. They were patriots, Revolutionary War veterans, political and religious leaders, landowners, and men of means.12 They called themselves “Regulators” organized into militias to halt depredations committed against them by the corrupt government in Boston controlled by a coastal banking and commercial aristocracy.13 Only three years prior (1783), Americans had concluded a war against Great Britain based on similar offenses. It is incongruous that leading Founding Fathers then and textbook authors today, fail to see the parallels and similarities.

Daniel McCarthy is a credentialed well-established journalist writing for conservative and Libertarian publications. It is unfortunate he dismisses as “right-wing folklore” the notion the Founders intended the Second Amendment support a Shay’s-like rebellion. They certainly did. If the federal and or State governments commit crimes against the people’s rights, they have but two choices, submit or resist. The Left employs the labels “right-wing” and “far-right” equally to the former Nazi Party, Ku Klux Klan, and their modern iterations. They also apply it to patriots from Ronald Reagan to Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives, the antithesis of such groups. Although their motive should be obvious, regrettably such a malicious and deceitful practice works in post-literate America. How disappointing a learned man like McCarthy would follow suit. Was Shays’ Rebellion emblematic of anarchy, lawlessness, and chaos verging on destroying America or, were their actions an embodiment of the spirit that sparked and guided the Revolution of 1776? Is it possible to find support for the rebellion in the Founder’s writings?

The Federalist Papers are not part of the Constitution nor do they necessarily reflect majority opinion among America’s Founders. They are a collection of polemics in support of ratification of the proposed Constitution (1787). Its author’s opinions represent a spectrum spanning desires for a strong national government with states as appendages, Hamilton and to a lesser extent, Madison, to true Federalists like John Jay.14 Nevertheless, with respect to resisting government tyranny, they represent commonly held views among Americans.

Hamilton and his allies adopted the name Federalists but they were actually nationalists. They sought to extinguish state autonomy and sovereignty in favor of a central unitary government much like that in England. Hamilton believed the English system was the best of all. Others, like James Wilson of Pennsylvania, were Federalists but recognized Hamilton’s plan to destroy state sovereignty would also destroy the Constitution hence supported creation of a federal system of government. The central government would have authority over international relations, trade, war, and functions only a central government could execute. States would retain all other functions and authorities, sovereign in their own sphere. Both nationalists and true Federalists supported the right of the people to overthrow their own government should it become oppressive, tyrannical, and destructive to their liberties.

In Federalist 28, Hamilton writes there exist circumstances in which the “national” (sic) government may “resort to force”. They would include “seditions and insurrections” that are “maladies as inseparable from the body politic as tumors and eruptions from the natural body…” He also refers to uprisings in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.15 However, Hamilton addresses circumstances in which the people have a legitimate right to rise up against their rulers. He observes, “If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government…” Hamilton adds that self-defense (armed resistance) against a “national” (sic) government offered greater “prospects” for success than against an “individual state”.16 Whether resistance to a federal or state government would likely be more successful, Hamilton affirms the right of the people to rise up against a tyrannical government. Only an armed people could execute such an undertaking.

Hamilton condemns those who betray the people’s liberties as “usurpers”. Although people might organize for armed resistance, “usurpers, clothed with the forms of legal authority, can too often crush the opposition in embryo”. Hamilton argues states should be in charge of organizing and executing the resistance not local militias raised by the people. This is because the states would have more arms and larger forces to resist a federal army.17 However, suppose States, not the federal government, commit usurpation against the people’s liberties. Did Hamilton forget that the people of their respective states raised their own local militias to oppose the State Militias controlled by Royal Governors? He explains the methods by which states can organize in cooperation with each other to resist “invasions of the public liberty” by the central government. Even if a federal army quelled resistance in one state, others states would respond “with fresh forces”.18 Strategies and methods aside, Hamilton establishes that States have the right to raise an army to resist usurpation of their powers by the federal government. The people possess the same right against their respective states. Is Shays’ Rebellion a great departure from this principle? Hamilton, nor anyone else, argues people have a right to arm and rise up against government over pet peeves or perceived injustices. The standard justifying resistance is gross violations of the Bill of Rights and suppression of the people’s liberties by government with no possibility of redress.

Critics of the proposed Constitution warned the federal government might turn its power to call up, organize, and equip state militias against the states turning militias into a federal army. Hamilton addressed this possibility in Federalist 28.19 He conceded in times of extreme emergency (invasion by a foreign power, insurrection) the federal government would need to call up and train state militias because such training allows them to act in concert. However, it would not be the same as raising, organizing, equipping, and disciplining a federal standing army. To do so would be futile requiring too much time in the face of an immediate threat. It was not feasible to take the “yeomanry” far from their towns and farms long enough to transform them into professional soldiers. If the federal government called up State militias, the latter would be responsible for arming, equipping, and choosing their officers. The federal government would train and subject them to military discipline. The point is militias come from the people. If harnessed for a national purpose in times of extreme emergency, their loyalty remains to their respective states. Once the crisis had passed, the federal government returns militias to their states. This would create a trained body of armed people large enough to oppose a standing federal army should one attempt to suppress the states. Hamilton wrote that militias were the “best possible security” against a standing army. For any of this to be remotely feasible, the people would have to retain their own arms.20

In Federalist 46, James Madison noted, “Ultimate authority wherever the derivative may be found, resides in the people alone” and not in the federal or state governments.21 If the federal government attempted to expand its “power beyond due limits” at the expense of states, the “latter would still have the advantage in the means of defeating such encroachments”. The States would resist the federal government by force. Even if the latter had the resources to raise powerful standing armies, states would always possess a greater resource in the number of citizens within their boundaries. State militias would outnumber a federal army.22 He added that Americans possessed a great advantage over all others in the world; whether the threat came from federal or state governments, the people are armed. In America, all government is “subordinate to the people” and the people are ultimately the masters of the militia because they are the militia.23

The Founders are clear. People have an individual right to keep and bear arms independent of membership in any form of militia or military unit. States have a right to resist, by force, federal usurpation of State rights and Constitutional liberties. The people retain the same rights with respect to both. Why do some attempt to tie firearms ownership to service in a quasi-professional militia or “national” (sic), State guard? Perhaps they do not trust the common man to be the master of his affairs including responsibility for his safety. People buying, building, and selling arms sans government oversight frightens them. What you smell is the aroma of elitism that permeates all aristocracies, economic, political, or professional. They have never trusted the Great Unwashed with freedom. To the elite, for anyone to claim people have the right to keep and bear arms, as a defense against the federal and state governments is unthinkable. Nevertheless, that is how this nation was born.

Welcome to the Crazocracy.

What follows is the author’s personal opinion, not that of The Zelman Partisans.


There is no rule of law.

Dictators shut down states for the common cold.

States are violating the Constitution and federal laws, and the Supreme Court Clown Show says, “So what?”

What we do have is mob rule. Let’s look at that last one.

  • Mob commits breaking and entering.
  • Mob trespasses.
  • Disturbing the peace.
  • Vandalism.
  • Circuit Attorney calls all that First Amendment “peaceful protest,” and threatens the innocent homeowners.

Perhaps there’s a lesson there for us honest folk to take to heart in dealing with these governmental scumsuckers…

Or not. I think we’re past the point of no return. Anything we do to defend freedom is just a delaying action.

delaying action
noun Military.
a maneuver in which a defensive force delays the advance of a superior enemy force by withdrawing while inflicting the maximum destruction possible without engaging in decisive combat.

But such is necessary if anyone who still values freedom is going to get out. Pockets of resistance that still value individual rights may be able to hold out against the darkness. Maybe the survivors can rebuild after the societal collapse. They’ll need something better than the Constitutional failure as framework.

And those thoughts caused me to remember something I wrote a couple of decades ago. I’m going to dust it off and re-post it here. Maybe some free survivor will remember it when the time comes.


This was thought experiment, inspired by L. Neil Smith’s Covenant of Unanimous Consent. It was meant to address the issues of “abandoned polity,” and the lack of a formally designated arbitration system raised in his novel Pallas.


ARTICLES OF INDIVIDUALS

Whereas we wish to establish that individuals can only be ruled by themselves individually, and that the only acceptable role of government is advisory in nature, we ally in common interest as individuals and accept these articles, and establish ourselves as the Confederacy.

Article I. Statement of Principles

1. No individual, group of individuals, or other organization has the right to initiate force or coercion against another person for any reason.

2. All individuals have the right and responsibility of self defense, by any means they deem necessary, against initiated force or coercion.

3. All individuals are encouraged, but not obligated, to aid other individuals in their defense against initiated force or coercion.

4. All rights are individual rights, neither collective nor additive, and those rights are any and all necessary to allow individuals to live their lives as they see fit, regardless of age, gender, race, or any other distinguishing criteria.

5. All individuals have the sole responsibility for their actions in exercising their rights, and the responsibility to accept that all other individuals possess the same rights.

6. All individuals must strive to be independent, self-supporting, and responsible for their own actions.

7. While charity is encouraged, no individual, group of individuals, or other organization is entitled to support by any other; the sole exception being that any parent or guardian must accept the responsibility of caring for all children whom he or she has parented or voluntarily chosen to act as parent or guardian for, until such time as the child can be reasonably expected to assume for his or her own self the rights and responsibilities of an independent individual, or until he or she voluntarily chooses to accept those rights and responsibilities.

Article II. Limits of Authority

1. All authority resides within individuals, and extends only to the originating individual and any other individual voluntarily accepting that authority.

2. The Confederacy as a whole has no authority.

3. The Confederacy as a whole may take on only those functions specifically and explicitly delegated to it by these articles.

4.The Confederacy as a whole is forbidden to collect taxes, tarrifs, duties, or fees of any kind.

5. The Confederacy as a whole is forbidden to license or regulate any activity.

6. The Confederacy as a whole is forbidden to raise or maintain any military or police force.

7. The Confederacy as a whole has no executive, legislative, regulatory, or judicial authority except that specifically delegated to it by these articles.

Article III. Arbitration

1. Individuals, or groups of individuals, unable to otherwise settle any dispute are encouraged to employ a neutral party as an arbitrator.

2. An arbitrator is any individual who chooses to referee a dispute. He or she may choose to charge a fee for arbitration services.

3. Arbitration may be binding or nonbinding as agreed to by all parties to the dispute. In the event that any party to the dispute chooses not to participate in the arbitration process, the arbitration is nonbinding.

4. An arbitrator may conduct the arbitration proceedings in any manner he or she wishes, so long as it is consistent with these articles.

5. No decision by any arbitrator shall be used as a binding precedent for any other proceeding. But any arbitrator privy to the results of any arbitration may choose to take said results under advisement.

6. No individual is required to be a member of the Board of Arbitrators in order to act as an arbitrator.

7. In the event that any party to dispute is not satisfied with the arbitrator’s decision, a second arbitrator, whose fee if any shall be paid by the first arbitrator, shall be engaged to conduct new arbitration proceedings. Any binding decision rendered by the second arbitrator is final, with no further appeal.

Article IV. Board of Arbitrators

1. The Board of Arbitrators is the only entity allowed to represent the Confederacy as a whole. While so acting, the Board has no binding authority over the Confederacy as a whole or any individual. While representing the Confederacy as a whole, the Board has only an advisory role. This advisory role may be filled by any one member of the Board or by any number of members, up to and including their entire number.

2. The Board of Arbitrators shall consist of any individual wishing to act as an arbitrator in accordance within these articles, and who agrees to share in the financial support of the Board’s required activities. The Board is forbidden to obtain financial support from any entity not a member of the Board.

3. The required activities of the Board are:

To maintain a permanent record of all proceedings in which the Board represented the Confederacy as a whole. All individuals in the Confederacy will have unrestricted access to these records.

To main a permanent record of all arbitration proceedings conducted by members of the Board. Access to each of these records is limited to the records archivist selected by the Board, the arbitrator, all parties to the dispute, and anyone granted access by any party to the dispute.

To publish a public directory of all member arbitrators, to aid individual desiring arbitration in locating an arbitrator.

To maintain a permanent public register, by name only, of any individual signatory to these articles who wishes the Board to so record.

Article V. Inviolability of Articles

These Articles of Confederation may not be added to, subtracted from, modified, or otherwise amended without the unanimous consent of all living individuals signatory to these articles.

Statement of Consent

We accept all rights and responsibilities laid out in these Articles of Confederation.

/signed by each individual/

Open Letter to American Handgunner

Dear Editor, American Handgunner

Contrary to Alan Korwin, [American Handgunner, July/August 2020] Thomas Jefferson got it right. When I taught government, I explained to students the Declaration represented the accumulated political and religious wisdom and philosophy relevant to the American cause. It was a religious, not secular Libertarian document. For centuries, monarchs and emperors had employed Romans 13: 1-2 as justification for the notion of an unquestioned Divine Right to rule. Through the Declaration, the Founding Fathers established the principle rights are G-d-given, rather than privileges dependent on royal prerogatives. Rights are inalienable due to their divine origin and not dependent on one’s title or the force he commands. No people before had established their own government instead of the other way around. It should be common sense the Founders knew rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were not extant. Inalienable rights are those which government cannot separate from people. As long as one person still draws breath, these rights exist. By declaring rights inalienable, Jefferson established the ultimate goal for which nations should strive. In naming those rights, he established a template by which Americans specifically, and nations as a whole, could judge their progress toward that goal. Jefferson knew future generations would hold the Declaration up to determine their progress on that journey. Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “got it” when, in 1963, he declared at the Lincoln Memorial, people of color had come to collect on the Declaration’s promissory note of inalienable rights. It is too bad Alan Korwin doesn’t get it.

American Intifada

In my last column I discussed how Communist Russia planned to take over America, via information revealed by Yuri Bezmenov, KGB defector. But this Marxism has many tentacles, so much evil has come together that the pot has more than boiled over.

I listened to a podcast recently from Avi Abelow, Avi was a compatriot of Ari Fuld’s HY”D. In this episode he had Barry Shaw, Senior Associate for Public Diplomacy at the Israeli Institute for Strategic Studies as his guest. Barry was discussing the threat BLM poses to the America of the past. It’s a show well worth listening to.

I personally don’t know anyone that supports racism, thinks it’s a good idea or wants more of it. But since the election of Barry Sotero which was supposed to show that racism in America was being healed it’s gotten worse. Barry took the chance to foment racial division, the war on Police and the take over of large parts of the economy ie the cellphone industry and healthcare to name a couple. I support an end to racism, going all directions.

Of course, some forms are acceptable. From January 2020

I do think some are unaware of what Black Lives Matter really stands for, and what their goals are. Yes, black lives matter, ALL lives matter. Apparently that is now a rraaaccciiisst statement. But one of the things Barry Shaw brought out was the founding and founders of BLM.

In this column there is embedded a video of one of the founders, Patrisse Cullors, stating they are trained Marxists. There is more about who trained the founders, and who the are working with. Helpful hint, if your Dad and your brother repeatedly wind up in jail, perhaps the problem isn’t the police? And a bit more from another source, Black Lives Matter co-founder describes herself as ‘trained Marxist’

“We actually do have an ideological frame,” Cullors said. “Myself and Alicia are particularly trained organizers — we are trained Marxists. We are super versed on ideological theories…”

Apparently ideological theories also include “Give us what we want or we burn it down”. No matter who it hurts, black owned business or black employees.

You know, if statures of Lincoln and George Washington, Ulysses Grant and an abolitionist are being torn down, it’s a pretty good clue this has nothing to do with slavery. Remember just a few short years ago when people opined that the attacks on statues would soon extend past those of the Confederacy and the Confederate flag to others and they were told to take off their tin foil hats? Maybe they should get an apology, huh? It was never about that, it was about boiling frogs.

But Black Lives Matter web site still repeats the tired old lies, I guess they think everyone watches #FakeNews so they don’t know any better. From their about us page, I’m not linking to it.

BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer

Trayvon was beating a guy’s head against a sidewalk, most folks don’t take kindly to that.

From their what we believe page

We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

Huh? What exactly does destroying the family unit do to promote “social justice” or help improve the lives of blacks?

Walter Williams thinks the break down is part of the problem, and it has nothing to do with that kind of slavery. The Black Family Is Struggling, and It’s Not Because of Slavery

LBJ’s “War on Poverty” Hurt Black Americans LBJ-Demoncrat by the way.

More from their what we believe page

Enraged by the death of Trayvon Martin and the subsequent acquittal of his killer, George Zimmerman, and inspired by the 31-day takeover of the Florida State Capitol by POWER U and the Dream Defenders, we took to the streets. A year later, we set out together on the Black Lives Matter Freedom Ride to Ferguson, in search of justice for Mike Brown and all of those who have been torn apart by state-sanctioned violence and anti-Black racism.

So, either their beliefs are delusions, or they just lie and don’t think folks will question them, because to do so is rrraaaccciiisttt. As previously stated, most folks don’t take kindly to having their heads bashed against sidewalks, and Mike Brown was trying to take an officer’s sidearm away from him. Hands up don’t shoot never happened. Wilson was cleared by Sotero’s justice department, and if they could have got him, they would have.

Then there is the lie about systemic racism, and the targeting of blacks. Um, no. And here is another source

The number and race of people killed by the police

Then there is blaming only white people for slavery. Well, actually no. Prior to Anthony Johnson’s lawsuit in the British court system in 1655 (Before the War for Independence) didn’t matter if you came from Ireland or Africa, you served seven years and were set free with a little grub stake of some sort. But that changed with Anthony Johnson’s lawsuit. Anthony Johnson was a black former slave who had earned his freedom in just that way. He also had 4 white indentured servants, but there is no record after the first lawsuit if he also kept them as slaves. So, the first legal slave owner in America, was a black man. Nor was he the only one.

Krisanne Hall JD, has an excellent YouTube channel and this is part of this episodes lecture. “Black men and women were free before America was even free from Great Britain”.

The Democrat party is dead. This, this is the day it died.

Stick a fork in ’em

This is so crazy! In their efforts to pander they are wearing the Kinte cloth associated with the Ashanti. They were located in what is now Ghana and became rich off of…….selling slaves.

The Democrat party lost to the leftists, who lost to the progressives who have now lost to the communist/marxist influence. It’s dead, stick a fork in it, the modern Democrat party is the party of Lenin, Marx and Stalin.

So, if all this really isn’t about “systemic racism” what is it about?

Niger Innis: Black Lives Matter agenda doesn’t have a ‘damn thing to do’ with saving black lives

It’s about fundamentally changing America. While Sotero was in office, it became forbidden to say anything about Islam or Muslims. You were labeled Islamaphobic. This charge completely ignored the fact that people were upset and enraged at the actions of those committing terrorist acts. So many of them were muslims, and the cry of Allie’s Snack Bar became well known. Which, just by the by, does not mean “G-d is great” as the media dutifully repeated. It means “Allah is greater”, meaning greater than the whimpy G-d of the Jews and Christians.

Now it is forbidden to say anything about the rioting, looting, violence and destruction because that’s rrraaaccciiiiissst. Well, I have news, a bunch of those doing the rioting,looting, violence and destruction are white leftists. And I’m pretty sure the shop owners and people attacked and burned out of their homes don’t care about the color of the person lighting the match.

Something else people may not realize is BLM’s alliance with Hamas. Sort of explains their trip to Gaza a few years ago doesn’t it? I was surprised at the time, not realizing the depth of BLM’s knowledge of middle eastern affairs. But it wasn’t about that. I’m not sure how old this article is, but it’s well worth reading. Hamas and Black Lives Matter: A marriage made in hell

Bazian once publicly called for an “intifada” in America. In the Media he claimed he was speaking rhetorically, but what is happening now is in fact his “intifada” coming to fruition. The race riots in Ferguson, in Baltimore and Milwaukee and the shooting of police officers in Dallas and elsewhere in the country are finally importing the violence Israel faces every day. And it will probably only get worse because these events are not designed to promote discourse but rather to bring down the current society. In Israel, it is to end a Jewish state in the Arab-Muslim umma. In America, it is to gain control of our government to facilitate the attacks on Israel and eventually subvert the rule of law in the U.S.

Terrorism is a business for Hamas, and business is booming. An alliance with Black Lives Matter is creating an even bigger business.

Then you can add in Antifa as another partner in BLM’s partnership package. Does Antifa offer the perfect cover for Jihad?

According to Diana West, “here is more on Antifa/jihad connections from Edward Klein’s book, All Out War: The Plot to Destroy Trump. Note that in Portland they were chanting, “Allah-u Akbar, smash these Nazi scums.”….

On numerous occasions, Antifa has openly threatened to massacre American patriots and even President Trump. This group is one of Obama’s legacies, created to inflict more pain on the American people. “Eight years of Obama’s leadership has left America demonstrably weaker and more divided. Rather than the promised “healing”—racial and other—the Obama era frayed the ties that bind us.”

BLACK LIVES MATTER and its Muslim partners in crime from CAIR/Hamas

Yes, yes I’d say it does provide a cover for jihad.

It started with George Zimmerman, self-defense became a crime to be tried in the court of public opinion, and considering the number of people who listen to #FakeNews and believe it, that’s a big pool.

Then came the jihadi attacks and charges of Islamaphobia. Now the attacks on the police, businesses and people bring charges of racism when people (of any color) complain.

Remember when we were told we were paranoid if we wanted to be able to defend ourselves? That there was no need as we could just “call the police”? Well, those calls may now be answered by unarmed social workers, or the police will not come if your car is being attacked by “peaceful protesters” and you have your terrified child with you.

‘We can’t do anything, ma’am,’ the dispatcher replied. ‘The city told us that this is a sanctioned event.’

Or if BLM “peacefully enters” your community.

Peacefully entered doesn’t usually result in broken wrought iron gates.

A St. Louis couple was able to hold off a horde of 300 BLM because the couple armed themselves. The mob was on it’s way to demand Mayor Linda Krewson resign. Because who cares about elections. It seems the “peaceful protesters” were upset when they were told they were on private property. You can tell they were miffed because that announcement brought threats:

McClosky said one of the militants pulled out a loaded pistol magazine and clicked them together and said ‘you’re next.’

“We were threatened with our lives, threatened with a house being burned down, my office building being burned down, even our dog’s life being threatened. It was, it was about as bad as it can get,” McCloskey said.

McCloskey believes that the only thing that stopped the crowd from approaching his home was his rifle.

Emphasis mine. The couple has now been doxxed. Irony of ironies, he’s an attorney who has represented alleged victims of police brutality. The mob didn’t care. Because it’s not about police brutality either.

They were correct in their fear, that mob, or another like it had already beaten people who had showen up for a prayer vigil at a stature that BLM had in their sights to be torn down. That was just in a different part of the same town, St Louis.

They couple that protected their dog, their home and their lives by arming up against the “peaceful” BLM mob may now face charges. Did you catch earlier where I said this happened in St. Louis? Well, the prosecutor in that town is the corrupt Kim Gardner who apparently hasn’t been brought up on charges yet, but she still may be over her handling of the case against the former Governor. The case with former Gov Eric Greitens was covered here.

So for those elected officials that are all in favor of de-funding the police, watching elitism is an interesting thing isn’t it? To be part of the elitist privileged. You know who avails themselves of it? The communist/marxists.

Report: De Blasio Ordered NYPD Security Team to Drive Son to College

de Blasio ordered NYPD Executive Protection Unit to move his daughter out of a Brooklyn apartment

‘She was acting peacefully and I’m proud of her’: Bill de Blasio backs his daughter, 25, against his OWN police force following her protest arrest and night in the cells

A police report obtained by DailyMail.com showed that Chiara was among those arrested for refusing to move off the road and throwing objects at NYPD officers.

“Peacefully” mayor? I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Uh huh, she’s a real peach.

THAT’S RICH LA official demands $150m cut from police budget – after having cops guard her home ‘at cost of $100,000 to taxpayers’

Minneapolis has paid $63,000 to private security firms for 3 council members

“This security service is intended to be temporary and bridge to other security measures implemented by council members themselves,” city spokeswoman Sarah McKenzie said Monday.

McKenzie said the city has spent $63,000 over the past three weeks for security service for three council members. She said contracts for less than $175,000 typically do not need public approval from council, and they do not expect these expenses to surpass that threshold.

Report: Minneapolis council members who voted to abolish police get taxpayer-funded private security

And in Philadelphia

Cops Provided 24/7 Private Security For City Council Members

For the past 11 days, each of 16 city council members — with the lone exception of Councilman Alan Domb — have had three city detectives working 8 hour shifts every 24 hours to provide them with private security. Since May 30th, some 48 plainclothes detectives were paid to sit in unmarked police cars outside the homes of City Council members. That’s instead of going out to investigate crimes, or obtain search warrants and arrest warrants. The estimated cost of the City Council security detail: about $178,000 without including the costs of overtime….

“They think Donald Trump is going to reimburse the city because they declared an emergency,” one cop cracked. “What a f*cking joke.”

Especially when you consider that every chance he gets, Mayor Jim “Sanctuary City” Kenney does nothing but trash Trump.

Except it won’t be President Trump, it will be us, U.S. the people who have been hit hard with unemployment, loss of business first due to the Wuhan Flu and then due to the riots. I object to ANY federal money being spent to bail out these lame brains. They caused the problem with their policies and decisions, they can find their own solutions. It’s not our job to fix their mess. Elections have consequences.

So what will the police be replaced with? I mentioned this briefly in Russian Collusion, but since Minneapolis is Illan Omar country, one option may be “community policing”. After all, it’s already in place in NYC. Unlike the Jewish and Asian groups that worked with the police on setting up their community patrol, the muslim group who had cars marked just like the NYPD and uniforms made to look like the NYPD did not work with the NYPD.

NY police say ‘Muslim Community Patrol’ car not sanctioned by them

Of course, some residents may not appreciate the Muslim Community Patrol enforcing sharia law in their neighborhood.

NY Muslim Patrol Bullies Get Bullied Back by the Bloods seems the son of a blood member spoke to a woman coming out of the mollusk.

If not Jihad being facilitated by lack of actual police, perhaps the UN will send in “Peacekeepers”, eh?

U.N. To World: You Have No Human Right to Self-Defense

When the actual police are scared to do their job, or their hands are tied by elected officials how do people think this is going to turn out? Look at a few of the linked columns above and you will know. When the poor officer who is being sacrificed to the whims of the mob in Atlanta is tried, what will be the result? Because no matter the outcome, there will be riots, burning and looting. In other words, more “peaceful protests”. At some point officers are going to lay down their badge and say enough, I’m going to take care of my family and that’s it.

What is it the mob wants? For us to be so cowed we can no longer express opinions, we can no longer have debates, it will be their way……or else. We are living in an American Intifada.

The lives the statues represent, they matter too.

Russian Collusion

No, not that Russian Collusion. But there certainly has been some Russian collusion going on for a while, a good long while. As horse trainer Pat Parelli says “Prior proper preparation prevent pee poor performance.” And the KGB (because this goes back to then) has done a good job of it.

Back in another lifetime, back before the government forgot about the 1st Amendment, specifically the part that says:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I used to go to Beit Knesset on Shabbat. It was wonderful, I learned things, prayed with the others and there was reading from the Torah and then Rabbi would give a talk. Afterwards we usually had Kiddush (meaning the light meal after morning prayers). We would visit and eat, and I would learn, I loved that. One of the people that was very interesting to visit with was a gentleman from Russia. He is a good person, you can tell this because he is a good parent to his fur children, and, he is a rock solid second amendment supporter, he is also a strong conservative. Come to think of it, one of my favorite ladies from Hebrew school is from the Ukraine, and she is a solid conservative, and another lady I know from Russia is a solid conservative, and my cousin’s brother-in-law is from Russia and he is a strong Second Amendment supporter and a conservative. Wait, I think I’m starting to see a pattern here!! All these people that have lived under actual Communism want nothing to do with it, and don’t seem to believe the pablum the left spews out! Huh, funny that eh?

So sometime last year, when life was what life used to be like, we were sitting around eating and he was telling me about this video, from Yuri Bezmenov, a former KGB propaganda agent that had defected to the US. The interview was from the 1984. Quite awhile ago, but what he said has come to pass. My buddy sent me the link to a video, I watched it. After I picked my jaw up, I knew there was a column there, and now is the time for that column. I will tell you the link to the video he originally sent me is gone. YouTube has taken it down, it violated the community standards. I think that means it told the truth. Because they are now shutting down anyone who says anything they don’t like, with an iron fist so to speak. CNN and Now NBC Are Colluding with Tech Giants to Cut Out Conservative Competition This is a shorter snippet from the original video interview on the “useful idiots” his term, not mine. But I agree with him.

If you want to watch the whole video my friend sent, I think this is the same one.

But, in the event those are gone by the time you see this column, I’ll hit the points that Yuri makes.

There were two type of people, those that would play ball with the communists and those that wouldn’t. Those that would were promoted into positions of power and influence. Those that wouldn’t were character assassinated and sometimes just assassinated.

The communists had a large army of contact tracers, data collectors spies. And they had information on everyone, who they hung out with, where they could be found, if they were favorable to the USA, their political beliefs. It’s how the communists were able to wipe out certain people in villages in Viet Nam within hours of coming into the village. Their spies had done their homework for them. But come revolution time, those are the people that will be executed. Why? Because they know too much. And when the useful idiots see that communism doesn’t play out as advertised, they become bitter enemies of it. If they live.

His KGB instructors told him to never bother with leftists. To avoid those political prostitutes, to aim higher: mainstream media, filthy rich movie producers, academic circles, people who can look you in the eye and lie. People who have no moral principles. He then makes the point that our leftists, the professors, civil rights people that believe in the lies of socialism and communism are instrumental in the process of subversion, only to destabilize the nation. They are then offended when they don’t come to power. Thus, useful idiots.

There are no grassroots revolutions, every revolution is the result of a highly organized professionals.

Ideological subversion. You can see it with your own eyes, nothing to do with espionage. The main emphasis on the KGB is slow process of ideological subversion or active measures, psychological warfare. It involves changing the perception of reality. No one is able, despite an abundance of information to come to a sensible conclusion about defending themselves, their families and their community and their country.

Stage 1: Demoralization, educate one generation of students in the country that you want to influence. So for the US, it’s educate one generation of students in Marxist ideology. And I don’t mean Groucho. He says it’s been pumped into the soft heads of American students for 3 generations without any counter-balancing education in American values and patriotism. Dropouts and half baked intellectuals from the 60s are now politicians and teachers influencing others, you can not change their minds despite plenty of information. You can not get rid of them and it will take 20-50 years to educate a group of pro-American students, common sense people. And when those people see what Marxist ideology looks like in real life, they won’t be allowed to speak out. Because with communism, no dissent is allowed. Sort of like the current cancel culture and the increasing attempts to shut down conservative voices on YouTube, the internet and TV. No opposing voices allowed. They will be squashed. The demoralization process in the US is completed (and this was in 1984). They don’t believe facts they are shown.

Stage 2: Destabilization, the subverter doesn’t care about your ideas anymore. It only takes 2-5 years to destabilize a nation. What matters is economy, foreign relations and defense systems.

Stage 3: Crisis, it can take only six weeks to bring a country to crisis.

Stage 4: Normalization, this is after a violent change in power structure and economy. This is a cynical Soviet expression, like when the tanks rolled into Czechoslovakia. The commander said now the situation in brotherly Czechoslovakia is normalized. This is what will happen in the US if we allow the schmucks to bring the US and us, to crisis. To promise people all kind of goodies and the paradise on earth. It will destabilize our economy, and eliminate our free market and put a big glob of government in Washington D.C. with benevolent dictators; he gave the example of Walter Mondale. Told you it was old. He says the United States is in a war, a war against the foundations of this Leninist/Marxist system. The world communist system. There will be nowhere for Americans to defect as he did. This is the last country of freedom. Like some people’s idea of what is acceptable in the new Covid world’s “new normal” in communism “normalization” stinks.

His solution? To make a real national effort to educate people in the real spirit of patriotism. To explain the real danger of the socialist/communist welfare state. If we fail to do that, nothing can help the United States. We have to stop aiding communism.

Again, that was from 1984. How is this playing out now, today? We see what he was talking about. And it’s been going on a long time, since the early 1900s. Former Representative Curtis Bowers did a documentary called Agenda: Grinding America Down that gives you the tentacles of it.

I ran across a couple of interesting posts from ex-pats living in different parts of the world. I’ll just give the last bit of the first one.

Because the truth is so utterly dispiriting. Most of us who have actually worked there, who have seen the world, seen Man in all his squabbling, raping, squandering, polluting, destructive, ROUTINE-GENOCIDAL abomination, quietly despair. We have a heart. We are sad for those people. For the G*d AWFUL conditions they live in. We have seen things. Burned and tortured bodies. Hideously staring faces, frozen in death. Their eyes, yet, communicating soul chilling terror.
Years later, we still have the dreams.
But you know something? We are also sad for YOU.
Because YOU are wildly misled by your Media, misled by your shallow, self serving, Jackass politicians, misled by your own intrinsic goodness. Your naivety.
Your good intentions and sense of charity, fair play, will haunt your descendants for generations. Or, worse. For-ever. It makes us despair that we cannot find the proper words to communicate to you that you must, you MUST, jealously, fiercely, without respite, GUARD your country, your ancestral homelands, your culture and your people. Against the invaders, and those who ceaselessly conspire for Open Borders, Diversity, and a laughable, fictitious, non-existent, poppycock, Multi-cultural Nirvana.

The other is from Michael Yon (he’s EXPAT in Thailand). This one I’m giving you the whole thing, then think about what Yuri said.

 

Possible Insurgency Starting in United States: I have to be there myself to judge, but watching 24/7 from afar this looks like it might be more than protests
There is a significant difference between protests, civil unrest, general civil unrest, insurgency, and civil war.
I’ve been watching, reading and talking with people almost every waking our since this began.
This began as protests.
Some differences:

Protests are normal background noise in any healthy society. Something is always wrong and needs attention. Often the best way to get attention is protest. Loads of open and non-violent protests can be a sign of a HEALTHY country.
Protests generally (but not always) are small in relation to the number of people in the population. For instance, if only school teachers come out about pay in Arkansas, that is very local to Arkansas with very specific demographic. Fix the problem they go home happy, or at least reasonably satisfied. Normal. Healthy. Lots of protests, again, can be a good thing, if sometimes annoying. (Which they need to be sometimes.)
Vital: in protests — the vast majority of people still see the government as legitimate. They do not want to overthrow the government, or at least are not trying to.
Occasionally there are massive protests but, again, they will be about something specific and usually die or peter out quickly.
Civil Unrest — most media just toss this term around, but among a tiny number of people it actually means something beyond looting. In civil unrest, a relatively large number of people protest in some way, violent or not. There may even be lethal terrorism as with from the terrorist groups Black Lives Matter and Antifa. (Both are communist, by the way, and communists normally use terrorism).
In Civil Unrest — the motivations are far deeper than something simple like teacher pay. Could be anger over high crime, poor economy, police abuse. In Civil Unrest, most of those involved still see the government as legitimate. (I would underline that last sentence if I could.)
In Civil Unrest, the restive people still might be limited to one or a few groups. More than something simple like teachers, but something greater like poor people. Or a million people being tossed off their land. Or a racial group that feels downtrodden or senses weakness in a wealthy other group and wants to take that wealth. Civil unrest comes in endless variations. No two are the same.
But again, relatively speaking, the people who are taking action are not a huge portion of the population. For argument sake, say 10%. Not a huge part of the population but plenty to make a big fight.
In Civil Unrest, they still are NOT trying to overthrow the government.
General Civil Unrest (GCU) normally brings a large portion AND cross-section of the population. GENERAL meaning a large cross-section who might also have many grievances. Economy. Crime. Police abuse. Pollution. Name it. Basically, if you reach this point…you got serious problems.
BUT, in GCU, they still are not necessarily trying to overthrow the government, or change the entire system. GCU can be peaceful, or massively deadly.
Insurgency — at this point, someone is making an honest go at either overthrowing the government but keeping the system, or completely swapping out the operating system, and the former operators. Basically, leaders in exile or swinging from lampposts.
I am greatly simplifying. This could go for hours. Bottom line: with Insurgency, there is a credible threat beyond mere terrorism. (There can be terrorism without insurgency, and there are peaceful insurgencies, too. In USA, highly doubt it would be peaceful.)
Today, there clearly are many Americans protesting who see the government as legitimate and just want limited but important changes.
There are others, however, who clearly are staking turf such as the terrorist group BLM who is right now painting roads and so forth in DC, and doing a lot more than occupy. They have politicians on their side who, for instance, just evicted Utah National Guard and let the terrorists move in.
They are making a power play and this is very delicate.
Some military officers appear to be siding with BLM. They should be fired on the spot. Any US military officer who openly sides with a terrorist organization during such a critical time must be fired. On the spot. No matter the consequences. Consequences of not firing are far worse.
The risk of course includes race war within the ranks, or rebellion (which clearly has happened already) by officers.
Must. Fire. Benedict. Arnold.
With his public video, General Charles ‘CQ’ Brown just publicly challenged the President. That was a power play. An, “I dare you to fire me I am a black General.”
Fire Brown now. If not, cancer within the ranks can explode.
Insurgencies are far, far different than protests. Protests are like a headache. Two to aspirin, make an agreement, call me in the morning.
Insurgency…those typically include elements of civil war. IF we enter into a profound insurgency, chances of various civil wars unfolding immediately are very high. Like 99%. Chance of profound insurgency starting from here? Coin flip. But if we get there, it’s game on.
Likely, at some point, if we enter into profound insurgency and then into civil wars, I would expect that some journalists and politicians would start being assassinated as per banana republic revolutionary style.
There is still ample opportunity to head this off. You know…like the pandemic.
For starters, fire everyone military officer who openly rebels. Immediately. We are right on the edge but not on fire yet.
Hey, do you remember all those warnings I gave in Iraq, then Afghanistan, and other countries, and then warned about this pandemic and economic difficulties back in January, and was saying clearly in January to stop incoming flights?
I am saying it here, loud and clear. Appears that we are moving into a sponsored insurgency. BLM and ANTIFA are two of the gloves and must be vigorously targeted.
Touchy, right? I get it. Trust me…spent years in many conflicts. I know exactly how touchy this is. This is like bomb squad working on a giant ticking bomb while under sniper fire.
Fire those officers right now. Anyone who sides with BLM or ANFITA out the door.
If this continues for one more week, invoke the Insurrection Act.
Remember, only a relatively small percentage of the population is fighting now. If you start getting millions of whites, hispanics, and asians fighting…this will be Iraq 10x and could result in a huge slaughter of blacks.
STOP IT NOW.
Be prepared to defend yourself. The police and government cannot even defend themselves. You are on your own. Remember — this pandemic is real. Stock up on food and all other essentials.

These are not peaceful protests, I don’t care what Fredo Cuomo says. Antifa is training to hurt people.

We are at a defining moment in America’s history. The covid scam (IMHO) shut down and destabilized the economy, and now the riots over a man who held a gun to a pregnant woman’s belly. No, I am not standing up for the police officer that knelt on George Floyd’s neck, but I don’t believe police departments are filled with racists either as the mainstream media would have you believe. I actually don’t even really think this is about police that much at all. I think it’s about removing the thin blue line that is holding back stage 4. Do I believe there are bad cops? Of course! There are bad doctors and bad plumbers as well. There is a bad Fex-Ex driver that delivered someone else’s package to me today. But I think by and large, they are good decent people. Without the thin blue line we descend into the stage 4 that Yuri talked about. Not to mention what the police will be replaced with. If you are curious I’ve got a interesting radio show for you. It’s Barry Shaw on the Tamar Yonah show.

The hypocrisy of the left is amazing. While they are free to shout threats most vile, to attack elderly people, set buildings on fire, loot vandalize and destroy people lives and livelihoods has there been one word, just one from the global warming alarmists? No? No Greta Thunberg rising up to stop the arsonists waving a little shovel to put out the fires, her tiny nostrils flaring screaming “How DARE you”! No AOC screaming at the rioters “You’ve just cost us a year off our remaining 10 years with these carbon emissions? This is why you don’t make laws according to the whims of spoiled immature children. Then there is communist Comrade de Blasio Bill de Blasio Responds to Massive ‘Black Trans Lives Matter’ Protest in Brooklyn by Welding Gates Shut at Biggest Park in Jewish Community That’ll fix it! And his consistent policy on Wuhan flu? COVID-19 Tracers In NYC Ordered Not Ask Those Who Test Positive If They Attended Protests

In addition to getting participation trophies, you have parents that don’t, well, don’t parent. “I Honor Her. She is Such a Good Human Being” – Mayor De Blasio Responds to His Daughter’s Arrest at Weekend Protests

Uh huh, she’s a real peach.

It has become so customary to appease the out of control bullies on the left. If anyone dares to say anything in favor of the police that when Egard Watches put out a pro-law enforcement video, YouTube restricted it. In fact the left is in full on pack mentality mode. Two college professors are under attack, one for stating a fact the left didn’t like. And now they are trying to get him fired. This is the result of years of “participation trophies”. Kids didn’t have to do anything to achieve, they got a trophy anyway. No reason to try to be the best, everyone is equal because we don’t want to damage anyone’s self esteem so no winners and losers. They are the result of teachers that didn’t teach but rather indoctrinated them to be the useful idiots. Man arrested for vandalizing Christopher Columbus statue — He is a social studies teacher These mobs are violent, and vicious. Far left mayors who have been so supportive of both groups rioting have had a very different response when it was their house that was vandalized and their neighborhood that saw marchers. Far Left WA Mayor Who ‘Took a Knee’ with Black Lives Matter Thugs Gets Home Vandalized During George Floyd Riots, Calls it “Domestic Terrorism” and New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell Cheers Black Lives Matter… Except When They’re Outside Her House. Don’t worry Mayor LaToya, I’m kind of thinking the way things are going New Orleans may not be seeing a whole lot of tourism. I mean who would want to take a chance on going to your city and spending money there right now? Not that there will be much in the way of goods available anyway.

You know the saying “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes”? Well, in the real world, not the alternate universe of the left which they think revolves around them, there are consequences. There are consequences to elections. If your business has burned and you are under siege by the mob and you voted Democrat, I’m sorry, but what did you expect? Democrats never side with the law abiding citizen just trying to make a living and take care of their family. That’s not who they are and not what they stand for.

If you are really wishing you had a firearm or could get one to defend your family and you voted for Democrats, I’m sorry, but what did you expect? Even if your local Democrat said “Oh I duck hunt every year” you should know that is not what the Second Amendment is about. You should also know that if that politician is a Democrat he will have to go with the party platform, which is civilian disarmament. Have you noticed, the party that has been trying to render citizens defenseless for years is now the party trying to defund the police? The party that stands with rioters and looters is the one that wants to remove the impediment to destruction. Yes, elections have consequences. As do the actions by those elected officials in the real world. Truck Drivers Say They Won’t Deliver To Cities with Defunded Police Departments Guess it’s a good thing people horded all that toilet paper, huh?

So back to the good Egard watch company video. Unless YouTube has removed it, I’ll close with this thought, if we don’t stand up for the decent people in law enforcement, all we will be left with are those that want the job for the power it provides or as Barry Shaw talked about in Tamar’s show, the new version of the brown shirts. Barry Sotero’s national police force. And we aren’t going to like it. Communists have their play book down and have been putting their plan into action for years, decision time.

An Open Letter to Drew Brees

The great sport of football

During an interview with Yahoo News, a sports journalist asked Drew Brees his opinion on football players kneeling during the National Anthem. Brees declared love and support for teammates and their fight for racial equality and justice. However, he could never agree with anyone “disrespecting” the flag during the National Anthem. He cited the heroic World War II records of his grandfathers and pays homage to them during the Anthem. Who could find fault with that? Nevertheless, following the interview, Brees’ black teammates and black professional athletes in other sports attacked and savaged him. They called him ignorant, a racist, and next the profanity and threats flew. Brees, an openly devout Christian, then apologized for his insensitive remarks in defense of patriotism and America. He apologized to teammates, the city of New Orleans, the NFL, and the black community at large. Brees rejected President Trump’s support when he came to the QBs defense. Brees now claims it is not about the flag afterall.1

Legos is pulling its police station and related game sets from the market as if policemen and women who protect and defend the weak, vulnerable, and defenseless are now evil and unacceptable. Taboo. A&E is pulling its most popular television show, Live PD, from the airwaves again, as if anything to do with the police is dirty, filthy, intolerably offensive. This they do in solidarity with an extremist group promoting assassination of police officers, riots and looting, anarchy, overturning Western Society and its Judeo-Christian foundations. This group is Black Lives Matter (BLM). Legos, A&E, and many other corporations are choosing sides against the folks behind the badge who willingly lay their lives on the line every day for their fellow Americans.

Where are the corporate chieftains, business leaders, elected officials, pastors, priests, rabbis, school boards, principals, teachers, and sports figures willing to stand for the truth? What is that truth? Contrary to what BLM claims on its webpage, the white race is not engaged in a war of genocide, with the police its instrument of execution, to exterminate the black race. This is what they preach and believe. Who is pointing this out?

What are you saying Drew, police officers, who never ask what the job pays or count the risks, but only how to protect Americans from the ravenous wolves that prey on them, are the bad guys? Men and women who, instead of being home with their families for birthdays, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, who work long hours, weekends, nights, in the heat, cold, rain, and snow, with little sleep and no food to make streets safe for you deserve no respect? That our brothers and sisters killed in the line of duty, whose names are quickly forgotten or never known, deserve no respect? That our family members who fought in wars and served in the military no longer deserve respect? What have millionaires like you done in comparison to make America a better and safer place, throw a piece of leather to other millionaires on Sundays? Think of the little kids who wear your jersey and hang your poster on their bedroom walls. You are telling them to side with those who spit on the flag and the men and women who sacrifice so much to keep their little lives safe.

Today, now more than ever, leaders like you should be standing up for America but instead abdicate that responsibility. Is it because you have too much to lose, fame, fortune, and career? Or, do you hope someone else will take your place sparing you from putting it on the line? When you count the cost and say no, you abandon us behind enemy lines. When you surrender without a fight, the time comes when there is nothing left for which to fight.

Black as well as white have died for the flag. In apologizing for your patriotism, you surrender that flag to those who hate all for which it stands. Once you kneel before its enemies, as you have, that is where they will keep you. You must continue kneeling to prove you are not a racist but no proof will ever be enough. Do you believe they respect you for turning your back on devoutly held beliefs? In capitulating, you have lost your dignity, respect, and moral authority to speak for the truth. Kids long for adults who are men and women of character possessing the strength of their convictions. Adults who never waver regardless of how sharp the arrows fired at them. You cannot get back what you surrender.

Yes, there is a price for standing your ground. We average Americans who stand up for the truth pay it every day in our work and in our lives. This country is worth it. How sad, in spite of all the blessings playing in the NFL, for you this nation does not merit the same affection. The choices we make when those choices are difficult define who and what we are. You have made your choice.

Blue Lives Matter too
