DIS – APPOINTMENT

Disappointing even to most of his “supporters,” Joe Biden’s administration has undertaken to separate Americans from our heritage and founding – even the founding principles – at  a rate that frightens every non-communist, which is to say, most of us.  Communism and other shades of leftism never rests.  It has a single enemy as old as time, God, and with equal enmity the left fights a single permutation of God, manifested in Jesus Christ: Freedom.  To the left – many democrats included – freedom is achievable only by “freeing” ourselves FROM God.  It’s a twisted belief, but an obvious one.

Biden, himself, Ol’ Lunch-Bucket Joe – father was a miner from hard-scrabble Scranton, PA (which he wasn’t despite Joe’s campaign speech to that effect in his first try for President) – that Joe, fancies himself a Catholic… like the Pope.  He could be right about that, although Joe lies for a living and Pope Francis, one hopes, is merely confused about socialism and Jesus’ teachings.  Yet President Joe signs “executive orders” willy-nilly and endorses legislation that is as anti-religious, specifically anti-Christian, as one might imagine.  His handlers in the White House close Joe’s fingers around the pen and place documents before him and, like a lifetime Capitol Hill parasite who has never been particularly responsible for the consequences of bills he’s voted for, he signs them and smiles as someone arrives to guide him to the most appropriate doorway.

Fortunately, President Biden hasn’t wet his pants in public, yet, but one can sense that inevitability.  On the other hand, he may have access to official “Depends” undergarments with the Presidential Seal on them.

Joe’s friends and supporters don’t like Christians.  They see them as potential insurrectionists and racists, homophobes and science-deniers.  On the other hand, his people have a high tolerance for fallen Catholics like Joe and Nancy Pelosi and many, many others who have swallowed the grand lies of abortion as a Constitutional right, and sermons as potential hate-speech.  The Bible is about how to live and protect life as the chalice of the soul, suggesting appropriate punishments for those who take life or damage it.  Erasing new life hasn’t any connection to God’s Word… or to His Son.  Like Saint John Lennon sang, “All you need is love, love…” – a song best appreciated after a couple of soul-numbing tokes.

Joe is big on solutions to the BIG problems, like Covid-19 and vaccinations and face masks and lock-downs.  He couldn’t give a tinker’s dam about peaceful protests, fires, looting, assaults, murders, destroyed businesses or businesses lost due to ineffective lockdowns, especially lockdowns of church services.  The issue is stopping Covid at literally every cost.  Tearing down statues of historically significant personages, including Jesus, Mary, priests and abolitionists is nothing to the greatest vote-getter in American history.  Besides it’s anti-racist, so there.

We are watching an unprecedented – not to mention un-Presidented – tragic-comic play on the Washington stage.  It’s comic because of the frequent gaffs and mental lapses evinced by our erstwhile 46th president.  Watching it play out one quickly transcends the sense of comedy to one of shame at having made fun of a senile old man; then one begins to sympathize, if not pity, the circumstances of this poor individual, as he is propped up for purposes too dark to contemplate, by a relative handful of people placed in positions of influence not so much by Biden, himself, but by someone else attempting to guide the direction of the entire United States: tragedy. 

And we have all been part of this intense weakening of the United States, for shame.  In the immediate sense the voters – and election officials – of Georgia, have the most to answer for.  Donald Trump shares their blame for the very questionable loss of the last two Senate seats of the 2020 elections.  It is hard to imagine that the fate of the “free” world lay in the hands of just two flawed Senate candidates whose election would have formed a bulwark against Communism and the death of a nation.  Two scoundrels were elected, instead.  Trump irritated Republicans who may have provided enough votes to overcome the voting-fraud machine of Stacey Abrams and the host of her confederates who employed the same criminal election thievery they’d employed in the general election.   Shame on all of us for not fighting the impending thievery long before November 3rd.

In any case, we are now staring into the barrel of an anti-Christian cannon loaded with explosive ideas from the pits of Marxism, which is to say, Satanism.  Sadly, the cannon is loaded and aimed by our own government… the one the justifying documents of which promises We the People  religious freedom, freedom to assemble, a free press and freedom of speech, along with a host of other rights and freedoms in a document replete with  “negative freedoms,”  as so-called “Constitutional professor,” Barack Obama referred to them.  He was lamenting the fact that our constitution failed to promise gifts from the government, mainly because his viewpoint was twisted by Communism at an early age.  Then “we” elected him president, sworn to uphold that same Constitution, twice.  That he didn’t uphold it, particularly, we let slide, since his skin was the most approved shade.

So many disappointments, so few ways for Americans to control the course of freedom.  Fixing our system that now injects tyranny as the solution to every named problem, names limited only by the imagination of assholes, becomes more complex by the hour.  Mildly courageous Republicans think we can “fix” our election processes so that they can’t be stolen.  The rest of them will accept any system that keeps them in comfortable positions.  Democrats have figured out how complicated it can be to undo a stolen election and they are filing legislation to make theft of elections the “law of the land.”

Meanwhile, haters have taken over our public schools, displaying their hatred by refusing to work anyplace that might not be pristine enough for their fragile butts.  Damn the lot of them.  Yet no one has had the strength to de-certify the teacher union that’s got the public by the throat in their town.  It would be Prudent to fire them all, institute an America-loving curriculum, teach kids to read, write and calculate, along with fair and thorough history, and open up the teaching positions to any non-abuser who knows or loves a subject area.  If necessary, the municipality could deputize gun owners to stand guard against ANY authority, including courts, that would attempt to force the town to back down on decently educating its children.  Fat chance, but it would be nice.

Finally, what do we do about the interlopers now squatting in the White House?  The “election” should be reversed.  Egregious thievery cannot be rewarded, although our gutless “Supreme” Court is afraid to say so, even on clear Constitutional questions.  Who can kick them out?  All the ceremonies in the world can’t change the underlying dishonesty of the Biden gang’s claim of presidential authority.  Do we have to accept this fraud?  If the miracle occurs, what would be the status of any actions “President” Biden has taken?  Does America have to accept fraud-based decision-making and live under changes we didn’t legitimately vote for?  Are we a Republic of Thieves?

Poor Joe Biden and his cruel wife have about 2 to 3 months to go before he “retires” for health reasons.  Communists will say he is a hero of the Revolution; Black Lives Matter will spit on his legacy because way back the Robinette family owned slaves.  Then, since we had a ceremony that claimed Joe was a real president, Kamala Harris will claim to be a real President, too.  One might advise that we should “hold on to our freedoms” when that happens, but we don’t seem interested any longer.  God save America.

Antifa, Socialism and the Garden of Eden

Americans, citizens at least, owe it to ourselves… indeed we are OBLIGATED… to obtain the truth about “antifa” and other culture-threatening, community-threatening militaristic “organizations.” Our media and other institutions are failing miserably to challenge their premises or their statements of justification for breaking laws and heads at will. The place to start is the money. It was costly to bus the “Anti-KKK” protestors into Charlottesville. There were 3 or 4 big buses that dropped off the “antifa” group and then left the downtown straight away. Witnesses state that whites with “KKK” Tee-Shirts(!) arrived on those same buses.

I don’t think I know anyone in the KKK, never saw a march of the KKK, never heard a KKK speech. But it’s clear that actual and former members have done their best to hide any association with the truly white-supremacist organization. This begs the question: Who the Hell would want to wear a “KKK” T-shirt? The only advantages to doing so would be 1) to avoid having your own team bonk you during a fight, and 2) to show up clearly in videos and on TV. It is no more likely that one would arrange for such T-shirts to be printed on the morning of a “Unite the Right” rally, than that he or she would obtain the PERMIT for the rally on that same morning.

There was something rotten in Charlottesville. The self-named “antifa” so-called “protesters,” are literally paid to create conflict. Evidence indicates that some of the “right-wing” rally-ers were also part of the paid actors sent to Charlottesville. Why? Who, really, is served by conflicts that rub old, old racial hatreds raw? What is the true intent and what is the inadvertent intent of these cynical displays?

The United States was formed as it was formed. The intense courage of isolated settlers is unimaginable to soft Americans today. The people who chose to come here were who they were. They were raised in a different time and culture and they grew up to believe what they believed. And, here’s a news flash: Not a single one of them came here out of hatred, or with the intention of making “Indians,” who they believed were pagan savages, sick. Not one. And they were all quite religious – Christians of their time, motivated by the need to atone for sins and to sacrifice for others and for the future. That’s why the “invasion” took root and survived. We can go back further and recognize that Christoforo Colombo had no intention of hurting people and was impressively courageous as well. He, and his crew, and his Spanish sponsors, and his home city and the rest of Europe believed what they believed. They had no benefit of the past 520 years of experience.

What profit is there to “hate” them now? Why isn’t Spain hated MORE than the United States? Why isn’t England hated for slavery? The real target of conflict is to decouple the ideas of America from the future. It’s not new.

The first and most effective way to confuse a population that believes it’s “free” and even “sovereign,” is to dis-educate its children. That is, purposely don’t teach them their nation’s history, both “good” and “bad.” Just teach about how bad things were done by “heroes.” Then skip over the courageous and pioneering steps taken in face of extraordinary odds. Concentrate on movie stars, sports figures, and popular opponents of the basic structures and institutions of their culture and heritage.

Fundamental to dis-education in the United States is ignorance of, or ignoring of, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Added ignorance of the Articles of Confederation and the Northwest Ordinance will also be valuable in separating citizens from ageless philosophies and truths that underlie our exceptional nation. The trouble with all of these ideas so documented is that they tell us that we are free NOT because of being subjects of a governor or government, but because of our CREATOR. That is the greatest threat to secular power structures.

The allegorical story of the Garden of Eden reveals the conflict in the most basic terms. Adam and Eve are created and blessed with everything they need for a bountiful life – the “thesis.” The metaphorical serpent provides an “anti-thesis” regarding the denial to Adam and Eve of the “fruits” of the “Tree of Knowledge.” Whereas God warned that “eating” of that particular tree’s fruits would cause them to “die,” the “Serpent” tells Eve that she and Adam could be as wise as God and that surely, they would not actually die.

Eve and Adam eat of the forbidden fruit, realize forbidden knowledge and God promises them great travails in life and bans them from His bountiful Garden of life. The “synthesis” is in place, slightly toward the secular and away from the original “thesis,” theos – God. They weren’t killed, but for ever after, Life will be the Death of them. This is how Socialism/Secularism spreads its sticky ideas. The thesis is always closest to our Creator’s original premise; the antithesis is always a little farther away from that and toward totally human control of life and history. This brings us to ever-larger segments of populations dependent upon human government, and less and less responsible for the consequences of their actions, or “sins.” Now we are politically agitated over publicly financed abortion as some sort of Constitutional right.

“Antifa” is but the tip of yet another antithetical spear, serving totally secular, financially dictatorial masters who wish to separate mankind from concepts of freedom and individual sovereignty. Not everyone is willing to be so separated, and they are the distinct targets of antithesis. Anything that teaches youth about the thesis, and about lessons learned in defense of the thesis, must be torn down or covered with tarpaulins.

RIGHT PRINCIPLES and DISCERNMENT

It doesn’t appear that the background belief that the “world” will be beautiful and peaceful if we just all learn to get along with everyone, is valid.  Even in the microcosm, arguing about “partisanship” and worrying ourselves about the lack of “bi-partisanship” fails to illuminate the real basis for disagreement: right principles.

Many of us have principles that we are, if not governed by, at least motivated by.  We used to call them our “conscience.”  We sort-of always know when what we are doing is “right” or “wrong.” Let’s hope.  Still, modern science and technology, and modern anti-religion trends, have brought us to a time of phenomenal toys and enjoyments simultaneous with a culture of drug use and abuse, and hyper-sexuality.  In the face of these multiple assaults on our “principles,” we have clung only to a couple of erstwhile “truths”:

  • The worst sin is “intolerance;” and,
  • Passing judgements is bad.

The automatic corollary, it appears, is that every culture is equally valid and we should not act as though our own were any better.  Nor, it seems, should we make too much of our exceptional comforts, cleanliness and safety, because it’s not “fair” that we have them and so many others don’t.  This leads to so-called “immigrant advocates” who are not advocating for “immigrants,” but for illegal entrants, and to college campuses hosting wild demonstrations fundamentally against the sovereignty and even the Constitution, of the United States.

Is there someone to blame for this?  How did so many citizens of this relatively free, universally educated country, replete with community colleges, colleges, universities, on-line courses and free public libraries in nearly every town and city, come to hate it?  How did a nation so successful and liberal with its anti-poverty and unemployment programs, peppered with Christian churches of many denominations, arrive at a public governance that is virtually at the point of persecuting Christians FOR THEIR BELIEFS?

How did a nation founded on the very highest principles, led by George Washington, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, come to despise these leaders because of their economics and practices common to the day?  How has so much ignorance and lack of discernment come to motivate large fractions of our citizens to discard every founding principal in favor of socialism, communism and hedonism?

Why are we spending Trillions of dollars on education when the product of that investment is antithetical to our culture, heritage and survival?  How did this, all, happen?

What does it matter, except that we understand how, so as to not continue practices that brought us to this point?  This premise will generate a lot of discussion, some quite heated, but few actual solutions.  Everyone not consumed by the new liberalism and anti-Americanism, will decry education, lack of religious instruction, rewarding mediocrity and even failure, excessive welfare, stupid politicians, high taxes and sugary beverages.  Oh, and drugs… definitely drugs, both bad and good, including too many analgesic pain killers for minor ailments.  All of the above.

But, so what?  Is there some piece of legislation that will “turn things around?”  Maybe it’s a result of too many immigrants or, at the very least, too many illegal entrants!  That must be it.  Just stop immigration for a while and get rid of these Hispanic gangs – and drugs!  Get rid of the drugs!  That’s the ticket.  Maybe we should be deporting these criminal aliens faster… and keep them out.  And the death penalty; bring back the death penalty and make people truly pay for their most heinous crimes.  We’ve got to get judges to stop being soft on criminals.

It’s also not right that so much wealth is concentrated in Wall Street banks and brokerages, and that there is so much collusion between them and federal agencies and politicians.  Look at how they move back and forth between Treasury and Goldman-Sachs.

Do we think we simple Americans are going to fix all of these things?  By voting?  For whom?  Is there one person we might elect who will carry all of our valid concerns forward and “fix” things?  William Jennings Bryan thought he was one such, and things were a Hell of a lot simpler in 1896 and on, until the first World War.

Donald Trump surely believes he is one such, too, as do a majority of States.  The unprecedented opposition to him shows the depth of socialist statism that he wants to confound and undo.  Believe him or not, we should all wish (and pray) for his success.  The sovereignty of the individual, ostensibly (and once) protected by our majestic Constitution, is OUR freedom and YOUR liberty, the two not synonymous.

If you do not understand the distinction, perhaps we can start fixing “things” by learning what it is.
