The Demon Democrats and their Below the Line Thinking

It’s one thing to have political differences, but something that was obvious about Joe Biden’s first campaign rally, which I didn’t think was very effective, was that it was a battle for the soul of America. Only for his Democrats, they were like demons inhabiting the body of America and the rest of us were exercising it out so we could go on to live our lives. The demon had become a parasitic entity, as they often are into our political life and this election, like the last one in 2016 was essentially an exorcism. And the differences are stark, and irreconcilable. A demon can’t share a body with its host, it has to be driven out conclusively, and with conviction. In saying all this, I don’t think Joe Biden will make it through the primary process. I think Democrats have moved too far to the left and the reason is really a simple one, it really comes down to above the line and below the line thinking. And the two do not mix.

I’ve had more exposure lately to below the line people than I’d care to, but the experience was conclusive in that it articulated this Biden situation and his attempt to appeal toward the union vote, which is as a culture a very below the line activity. When we talk about below the line thinking we are of course reflecting back to the great book, The Oz Principle which is a book on business that quite effectively defined these elements. Essentially below the line thinking is a victimization status, where the participants do not feel connected to their fate, whereas above the line thinking feels that fate is well within their control. This is why I say that the two are not compatible. Proactive measures and victimization do not go together—they cannot coexist successfully, so in that regard Joe Biden was right.

They are easy to see, these below the line Democrats, everything to them is the fault of someone else or of circumstances beyond their control, and they are quite happy about that. Their direct descendants are the rock chuckers and the rain dancers who as natives across the face of North America, Africa and just about everywhere south of the Equator attempted to appeal to the gods so that their crops would grow. It wasn’t up to them to grow good crops, it was up to the whether and ultimately the gods who controlled it, and thus, the Democrat mind was born otherwise known as a (liberal). Of course we can have sympathy for that age of people because they didn’t yet understand science and a means of overcoming droughts through irrigation. If a month came along that didn’t bring much rain we have learned as a species that human sacrifice on an altar ripping out the beating heart of some poor sap didn’t really help. Irrigation could easily solve the problem once an above the line approach to the occupation of agriculture was introduced. And that is pretty much how it is with everything. Science and thought can replace victimization and mystical input.

I would say I’ve known a lot of Democrats over time and something they all have in common is this tendency to blame everything but themselves for their circumstances and problems. And that is what defines their politics. They can be quite good at identifying their victim status, but they are terrible about overcoming them, because that is not their nature. If they were to ever become a different thinking type, they would evolve into conservatives. Conservative values are not Nazi or Jew hating. They do not hate Muslims and are not the actions of white supremacists which are all traits present in the Biden launch of his campaign, that he is out to stop President Trump on his remaking of America into a nation of white nationalism. None of those traits are of conservative values because they are all victim statuses. History if looked at honestly has all these answers if people would only look. How could Trump be antisemitic if he has been in full support of Israel, or even Trump supporters? They can’t be Nazis and Jew haters at the same time. But that doesn’t matter to Democrats because the only way they can see the world is through the lenses of victimization. It gets them off the hook for any responsibility and places it into circumstances beyond their control.

The union types who do support Democrats no matter who they are live their lives like the little birds in a nest waiting for mother government to show up with a worm to give it to them for sustenance. Conservatives go and get their own worm. I don’t see politics as a division of ideas as much as I see them as an evolution. Democrats to whatever degree they present themselves are unevolved and not yet ready to take command of their lives. In some cases they never get there and like those baby birds, they end up food for some other animal because they never learn to fly and do for themselves. They stay in the nest too long waiting for that worm from the mother to come, but at some point the mother stops coming and they are left to fend for themselves.

That is what Biden is trying to appeal to, he is essentially offering to let America stay in the nest longer and that he will feed them worms if only they’ll vote for him. Democrats desire more than anything to keep all their constituents in a victimized status because it’s essentially all they have to offer as a philosophy, dependence fulfillment. Trump’s message is to get out of the next and to get moving on your own life. Those two thoughts just aren’t conducive. The Democrat does not bring forth an equal point of view, but a parasitic one, they are looking to be taken care of, they want the world to come to them and to be responsible. They want nothing to do with personal responsibility. They must remain victims of their own fate otherwise they stop being Democrats which is why union membership is down all across the country from where it was. People learned that to be in the labor unions they had to surrender parts of their own self initiation toward life. It’s not a political point of view as much as it’s an emotional evolution of their own souls.

To that effect it is that simple and that is what this upcoming election is all about, is America going to retreat into a victim status, for which it never really has been? Or is it going to direct its own destiny and free its people to migrate above the line and to unleash the potential of life that is found there. We can’t have it both ways, and clearly I would say that this election is more above the line than the previous one. People are better off now than they were four years ago and that is going to be a tough sell for below the line Democrats to convince people otherwise. Yet that is their real fear, that they are losing that victimization appeal to the realities of above the line thinking that is emerging more and more politically. I’ve been at this stuff for a long time and I see a drastic difference. I understand that it takes sometimes a long time for regular people to see the same thing, but the shift is here now and Joe Biden hopes that nobody really notices. His way of looking at things is like that exorcism that we were talking about, and his grip on the soul of the host is about to give way and for him and them, it is truly terrifying—because when there is nobody to blame but themselves that crisis is something they are not equipped to handle.

Above The Line Politics and the White House Correspondence Dinner

I had some strong thoughts while visiting the Republican Headquarters in Butler County at Bridgewater Falls the other day about the nature of politics and the temperament of our current culture. The headquarters is at the back of the shopping complex and faces the highway there and I actually caught myself looking both ways to see if anybody was watching for a moment and instantly caught the ridiculousness of the issue. Sadly we have allowed politics to become such a dividing issue and the burden again has fallen on Republicans to make all brand of liberals feel more comfortable with their thoughts, and that just has to come to an end. There is nothing wrong with visiting the Republican Headquarters in the middle of a fine day, or even people knowing that you are a Republican. It wasn’t that long ago that knowing those kinds of things wasn’t considered so taboo, such a closely held secret. As usual it is the result of the liberal side of things that have sought to make such things so, largely because they are so insecure with their thoughts that they can’t stand to have them measured against other ideas. Its their way or the highway and that has gone on for a long time, and Republicans have yielded, at least until President Trump has been refusing to go to the White House Correspondence Dinner and instead holding his own events on those nights such as the one shown below.

I’ve been very conservative all my life. There has never been a time when I wasn’t. I worked as much as I could at the time for the Reagan campaign as a 7th grader, doing debates with other students for extra credit and even giving interviews from a student’s perspective to the local newspaper. And as always I have been able to 100% of the time sit down with people who didn’t think the way I do and talk to them in a friendly way. As a matter of fact, unless I am first attacked of course, I can’t ever recall having disagreements in conversation that were ever cantankerous, where I have had a political fight with anyone. I can talk to anyone at any time about anything and I have always been respectful to other people’s opinions. I may not like them but I don’t beat them over the head to change them either. My thoughts have always been to allow people to come to their own conclusions about things and that usually if given the tools of thought, that most everyone comes around to my way of thinking eventually. So why make an enemy of them? Now if they choose to be an enemy, that’s perfectly fine with me as well, but I never seek to make them that way. That’s on them, completely. And once they are an enemy, I treat them that way—especially on these pages.

That’s my experience on how Republicans generally behave, they typically live and let live—to a fault. Republicans have not stuck up for themselves near enough, and this has allowed liberals to believe that they are equal at the table of thought by insisting that their below the line victimization status can sit at the table with the big kids and be validated as they cruise through life with the training wheels on thinking they can win the race. They can only win if Republicans cripple themselves and join Democrats below the line. The premise as it is stated by them, and I have a lot of experience with this as well, is that all people and all thoughts are equal and that they have an equal say at the table. Well for those who have followed me on these pages over the years, before Trump was even a consideration for public office, I exposed this lunacy quite openly. I had several debates about local issues from a truly conservative point of view on WLW radio and television all the time. I was quoted in the newspapers nearly every week and the other side couldn’t beat me in any debate so they did what they do to every conservative, they try to personalize and destroy the person who is in front of them, then ostracize them from group activity as if to punish their behavior forever. My enemies who made themselves that way, lobbied all the news outlets begging them not to have me on anymore because they couldn’t beat me. But it was their intolerance that caused all the anger because their positions were so weak that they knew they couldn’t hold up to real competition which is the core of their problem and it persists to this day. The problem is completely theirs. People of different opinions should be able to talk, but that is not the liberal position. They want to destroy opposition, not work with it. And we have seen to what extent. What they have tried to do to President Trump and the people who elected him is every bit as bad as what I described, and then some. It’s now obvious to more people why, Democrats don’t have anybody who can beat Trump in an election. They are losing everywhere. They picked up some House seats this year because many Anti-Trump Republicans left the party and retired leaving open seats that were filled by Democrats. It didn’t really matter because those Republicans were RINOs anyway. It was good to finally get to see who was who on the battlefield, so it wasn’t considered a tactical loss, more of an intelligence gathering exercise. And Democrats are losing because they can’t compete if they have to run a race without training wheels. In reality their political philosophy falls apart. Their philosophers, Sir Thomas More of Utopia, and Immanuel Kant, eventually leading up to Karl Marx had some thoughts that have not held water over time and that is the facts of it. That is also why I don’t go around body slamming Democrats all the time. I generally wait them out. If they are smart people, they will eventually think the way I do anyway. But that tolerance is completely one-sided.

For the first time in years the White House Correspondence Dinner didn’t have a comedian making fun of the sitting president. Trump refused to go because he wasn’t going to participate in a below the line activity. As a businessman Trump understands the game and he knows how to lead. And leading isn’t participating in the blood sacrifice that liberals want from their leaders. Republicans and Democrats for many decades going back to Bob Hope have attended this White House Correspondence Dinner and taken the jabs from the celebrities who attended with good heart and not allowed it to be personal. But the essence of that activity has been to allow all the participants to function with the training wheels of thought on, so nobody really challenged each other anyway. This is the same below the line thought that goes on in most group-oriented activity, where individual traits are made fun of so that group protections are sought out for cover. Such as making fun of a person’s weight, or their hair, or the way they talk so that conformity into group assimilation takes place, which is how liberals like things. That way individual thought yields to leaderless consensus. When presidents went to such events and allowed people to make fun of them as individuals that satisfied the ancient city-state need for a blood sacrifice of a king for the benefit of his constituents, which is the foundation of all liberalism. And of course every society since the dawn of mankind has failed when those sentiments are yielded to. It may take a few thousand years to get there, but they all fail eventually. Trump is changing that presently making this latest Dinner much more conducive to above the line thinking, which is and will always be leadership driven by individual responsibility and behavior.

The answer to the question is that it is not Republicans who have to do anything different. We should not hush our mouths or look both ways before going to the Republican Headquarters as if we were going to a speakeasy in the 1920s. And the media should not have been allowed to become so liberalized. That is one of the reasons I started this site was my experiences with working in Hollywood, and through the local media channels showed me that yielding to pressure from liberals to keep my thoughts to myself or else weren’t going to fly with me. I’m not going around beating people up who don’t think like me. But don’t think for a second that you are going to threaten me just for having opinions. Opinions I might add that have the backing of all human history behind them and are quite relevant. And we all have in President Trump a guy willing to stand up for our beliefs on a big stage and that is really good to see. The changes are happening, and we can see them making the world a better place. But we have to understand that it isn’t our task as conservatives to make liberals feel better about themselves. Only they can do that and often what they discover is that they have always been wrong. It’s just a matter of time for them to realize that and join the rest of us above the line.

College Has Always Been and Continues to Be, a Scam

It’s been a while since I’ve talked about it, but my article on the most successful people who never went to college, which I produced nine years ago continues to be one of my most popular, and most accurate. With all the talk these days about that collapsed dream, the scandal of parents buying off college admissions, the socialist proposal for free college for everyone paid for by the state, and the general liberal nature of the whole experience the truth is never talked about regarding the necessity of college and how it was designed from the beginning for all the wrong social matrixes. At the heart of liberalism is the desire for social tiers, the kind of structure where blood lines mattered and the power one obtained in life depended on the ancient notion of what kind of family one derived from. Much of the world still functions from that primitive state where even weddings are arranged between families to preserve bloodline authenticity. It’s an ancient notion that we have outgrown in the United States and it has taken the world a long time to accept the idea. The truth is that college and the concept of it was invented to preserve that ancient notion and to avoid the realities of capitalism and the merit-based society that derived from it.

It doesn’t take much to understand why parents like Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin would go to so much trouble to get their kids into a prestigious school, because they understood that the nature of the endeavor wasn’t to actually teach their children anything, it was what going to a specific school meant to their future lives in the form of social structure. Even in the way that people follow sports teams of their alma mater there is a notion that has replaced family blood lines present that still preserves the European, or even Asian notion of kingdom building and where one fell on the structure of royalty. By going to a school with a reputation for giving social access to its students, just having attended the place meant that a level of social acceptance would be granted to the student participant. In the same way a child born under some family name might have been a complete idiot, but due to the abilities of some great-grandfather who managed to curry favor in some king’s court a hundred years ago, that reputation still gave that idiot access to owning good lands, and a higher stock of a wife just because of the family name.

When America came along with its capitalism and a merit-based culture this whole bloodline thing died quick. It didn’t matter who your daddy was, if you were smart, ambitious, and hardworking, you could become anything you wanted. That’s how it worked in theory anyway and does in practice. But reluctantly, those who were lazy, and certainly not willing to do the hard work to climb a ladder toward success enjoyed the tiered structure of yesteryear where you were invited to social events based on your family name. As the bloodline sentiment died away in Western culture, the idea that University participation would replace it became more urgent and it took hold for about 50 years in the United States. But it has never been a priority in America because deep in our hearts we know the truth, that college participation is not emphasized to gain intelligence or to learn anything, its to satisfy the whims of a social class that is desperately hanging on to an ancient notion of class structure that would protect them from a merit based society.

We are learning now that the notion of a college scam has had a crippling effect on our economy in the West as it has been expanding faster than there were minds filling its needs. Kids going to college were learning all the wrong things and it has been taking them decades to unlearn all the bad things they learned there. The reality in the business world has been that Yale name as a alma mater still got you an interview, or even a job by a boss who still valued such things, but it certainly didn’t give anybody an advantage over another applicant who was actually smarter and harder working. Following the alma mater route has crippled companies with sub par employees who just weren’t as effective as a merit-based hire.

Effectively public education has always pushed the college notion in preparing young minds to attend the institutions of higher learning. The government schools of course want to keep this bloodline notion alive because it makes the lazy and unimaginative seem less complacent. Government for its purposes doesn’t want a free flying mind that will challenge its authority all its life, it wants the clipped wings of all those who fall under its authority. So the purpose of any government sponsored education system isn’t to teach a mind to be free and independent, but to have its wings clipped so it stays on the ground and under the control of the government through a structure they find acceptable. And for many of them, if they can have a decent house, a decent car and some money for social events, they are happy to trade what they could be for what their lazy natures prefer. Public schools spent all their time breaking kids down into their proper structures that would follow them all through life, then the colleges would finish the job. If a student managed to go to college, they would then get access to an interview at a company playing along with this system where you could only interview if you had a bachelor’s degree. Or that you couldn’t get a pay raise unless you had a master’s or doctorate. The effort there was to preserve that ancient system so that the participate would trade a free life for that of a clipped winged life so that they could have a good paying job.

But the reality has not been conducive to that sentiment. Employers have discovered that merit is the best indicator of getting the best people for a job. And that list I published all those years ago show that college has nothing to do with success as long as capitalism allows merit to rule over the old bloodline notion. Don’t marry that spouse just because they went to the same school as you did, but because you love them. Just as many couples ran away from arranged marriages in Europe seeking an authentic experience over a socially arranged one. We have seen that companies do better with hard-working and hungry applicants instead of one who went to Harvard by brown-nosing their way through life to arrive at a job interview filled with liberal propaganda and to play company politics like the Game of Thrones just so they can get the corner office. Companies wanted something better for themselves and the college graduate has not given it to them.

The reality is that the entire concept of college, while admirable conceptually, is entirely a scam designed to extract vast amounts of wealth from parents who secretly just want a good life for their kids. To get at that wealth colleges had to convince society that parents could buy a bloodline status for their children with a tuition fee, and that has worked for the most part until our expanding economy revealed the truth of it all. When companies had no choice but to consider employees without college degrees the ruse was revealed and now the entire structure has come into question, as it should. And liberalism all along thought they had a fertile ground for their future existence by forcing anybody who wanted to play the bloodline game to run their gauntlet of liberal propaganda. But now they have all been exposed and what we are seeing are the remnants of that belief system. And its sad to see given its true form which has been revealed by the neurotics that were revealed in the great college scandal stories of our present time. The parents never did really care if their children learned anything. They just wanted to give them a name which would give them access to decent things in life. And that kind of life value never had a place in a capitalist country just as the future will determine such things to be even less so.

They Would’ve if They Could’ve but They Couldn’t

To be honest I never had any doubts about President Trump. I do write a lot about him and his administration because he is obviously on the cutting edge of a new way of political thinking. But even so, it was remarkable how well he held it together over what was in all reality a political assassination attempt. In a less media driven time they would have literally just tried to kill him. But these days that’s not how things are done. Killings don’t happen the way they do on television and movies. People aren’t so bold as to have a personal conflict. Rather, they work the peer pressure angle nearly 100% of the time. And if they can’t beat you, they do their best to ignore that you exist. That is the normal method, but it’s awfully hard to ignore a person who had put his name in capital letters on his airplane for all to see, and named so many prominent buildings after himself. I knew from the beginning that a person like Trump was needed to break down this human limit that was so entrenched in American politics. However, it is always good to see a plan come together.

In the great chess game the best thing Trump did over the last few years, not just for his presidency but for the efforts at maintaining a true republic was the nomination of Attorney General William Barr to serve as a true AG. Unfortunately, because the game was above his head, Jeff Sessions wasn’t up for the task and the parasites were able to exploit his goodness to get at Trump. The FBI, the Obama White House and the DNC were sloppy in their insurrection attempts and left behind a lot of evidence regarding their behavior because they figured nobody would survive what they were throwing at Trump. They knew that the fundamental weakness in all human beings was the need for public acceptance which they controlled completely through the media and legal system, they from their point of view could see no ending other than Trump stepping down from office and saying, “to hell with this.” But Trump, the man who rose to fame by firing people has done more terminations of employment than anybody in history and so it went that he made his move against Jeff Sessions and replaced him with Barr. Once William Barr was in place Bob Mueller had no choice but to clean up his act and end his investigation.

Mueller didn’t go quietly however and you can tell by the way he wrote his report. He was digging for anything he could get on Trump. But there was nothing there. Trump was a gigantic public figure living in the public eye well before he became president, so he is accustomed to scrutiny in every aspect of his life. That made him uniquely prepared for the Mueller investigation. Mueller’s frustration about how little control or respect that Trump would give him was entirely evident in the report, which are the references to possible obstruction of justice. Only the real obstruction was that the FBI had rigged everything in the favor of the previous powers of Washington D.C. and Trump wasn’t yielding to that power the way it was expected that he would, or should.

Mueller was obviously on a witch hunt and resented that Trump wouldn’t play along which meant that the leverage the FBI was trying to apply to witnesses, like Paul Manafort, Roger Stone and General Flynn weren’t working. Michael Cohen did flip but Trump fought it all the way in the media taking all the air out of any case that Mueller was trying to build, purely off a false premise. Once a real Attorney General was in place, the antics were over and Mueller had to wrap up his nothing case leaving the hopes and dreams of the Democratic party to go up in flames. The media coverage of the Mueller Report was truly fascinating even thought I personally expected it. It was still rewarding to see a good guy like Trump win in a case like this, because it paves the way for everyone else. What happened with the release of this report is nothing short of a major victory for freedom and republic government. The whole thing isn’t just about Trump winning a case against him, it’s about the failure of the system to assassinate a person who falls out of line from their control and I can’t think of another time in history when something like this has happened. Trump has risen above the powers that normally control us all. It took his big personality and tremendous financial resources to do it, and a lot of tenacity, but he has done something that just occurred for the first time in history. And the world felt it.

Like I said, assassination attempts by people on this earth are not bold and personal. They are distant and very passive aggressive. In other times there was no choice but to kill someone with a weapon in clandestine fashion, while they were drunk or sleeping. But that is not how our world prefers to operate. You can tell that when at a street light next to another car. People don’t like to even look at each other let alone get close enough to kill them. So our methods of assassination have evolved into killing people through systems control, such as institutional mechanisms—separating them from group affiliations. Very few people can deal with not having a good relationship with their peer groups and once they know who those people are, they don’t often let other people into their circle of influence easily, which is why people don’t look at each other or sit next to one another unless they absolutely have to. If there is an empty seat away from a person, most people will take it. The only way people choose to sit directly next to another person is only out of a lack of options. Our institutions have learned over time to control those options which effectively have steered us all in directions desired by those who were most lustful of power. But none of that worked on President Trump because he really didn’t care to be in any of the various power structures that resided in the Beltway culture. He was a true pace setter self-driven and that is what gave him the edge and ability to overcome the obvious political hit job that the Mueller Report was. And now its his turn to launch his own investigations and that has everyone terrified, which they deserve to be.

So yeah, I write a lot about President Trump, because historically speaking he is the hottest thing going. Supporting him for President for the reasons we are seeing I think was one of the best things that any of us could have done as American citizens. He has changed the very nature of politics by exploiting the weaknesses of the previous establishment and the pain from that other side is something I’m enjoying quite a lot. I didn’t want to have to fight them all with violence, and they certainly didn’t want to do things that way. Yet what Trump has done is so much better than the other potential results. By surviving this attack and forcing everyone to live by the law and order they proclaimed to represent, through a real Attorney General like William Barr who has been there and done all this before the peer pressure leverage game simply fell apart and for the first time in history on such a large-scale, an individual beat the institutionalized attacks that had always suppressed such efforts. And that is a very good thing to see as we now move into completely new territory politically. As we do, I am very happy to have Trump in the White House and will do what I can to keep him there. What the other side has coming they deserve every bit of it not only for the benefits of justice, but for the efforts of the human race. There has been a lot at stake, and now its our turn. So it’s time to make it count.

Name the Enemy

It is too early to call the burning down of the famous Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris a terrorist attack by radical Muslims, but it was certainly too early to say that terrorism wasn’t involved. But that’s exactly the storyline even while the 900-year-old church burned to the ground, that terrorism had been ruled out, even as radicals had been desecrating old cathedrals all over Paris for months. These days radical Islamic immigrants have moved into the neighborhoods around Notre Dame so it would be disingenuous to the cathedral not to explore the possibilities. So I’ll go out on a limb and say that I think that it was Islamic radicals who burnt down Notre Dame in an attempt to erase away over 900 years of Catholic history, and they did it during Holy Week, just before the events of Easter. I’ve been there, I’ve walked those very streets and I feel safe to say that the Muslims there—a small percentage—but enough to set a massive fire want revenge for the first Crusades into the Holy Land and they are attempting to wipe Catholicism from the face of Europe, starting with the old cathedrals.

Terrorism Suspected in Notre-Dame Cathedral Fire

I’ve talked before about what a dump Paris is. The city is no longer a beacon of goodness that it may have been at the start of the 20th century. The city has been open to very progressive ideas for over a hundred years and its place as a stabilizing factor of culture has been overrun. It is now just another city in history on its way to ruin, the way Troy was, or any other antiquity from the memories of the past that finds itself watching its own demise. The religions of the world, especially Christendom and Islam are at war, even though they come from the same parents and the ending has nothing good in store for either of them. But the people involved are just too stupid to know better.

Notre Dame was and I suppose still is one of my favorite monuments of Europe. I firmly believe that if not for the domination of the Catholic Church continuing the ambitions of the Roman Empire, that western civilization may not have held together long enough to make a lasting impact in the world. Even though in the short-term, the effects of religion were stifling, the resistance to freedom were just enough to launch the Renaissance, the days of piracy, explorations and conquest of the New World, and eventually westward expansion, all attributes that have led to the start of America and the greatest economy in the history of the world, and most upward leaning culture. Notre Dame played its role in the whole escapade and it was one of my real treasures in life to have visited it and stalked among its history as it was.

But the enemies of western civilization have been hard at work undoing our history for what they think are valid reasons. And they have war and complete destruction in mind. I heard it in the cafe’s of Paris among Islamic patrons sipping lattés and waiting for the very few restrooms that were available that revenge and destruction of the west was all they could think about, and it had been that way since they were little kids. Their parents raised them on revenge. Their mosques preached revenge. And so in Paris as immigrants in the embrace of a city that welcomed them with open arms, arms opened with guilt more than love, they sought to enact that sentiment and prove their alliance to a god who could care less what they do or how they did it. Murder thousands of people or lay homeless in the street chanting segments of the Quran. The gods of history don’t really care.

When I have visited the many cathedrals of Europe, Notre Dame being one of the finest examples I think of literacy. Of course the Bibles studied there were not common when the cathedrals were built, but it was quite something for common people to come to such places and feel the majestic appeal of reading from scripture and thinking above the line for a change. To come to such a beautiful place and think about bigger things was a tremendous undertaking for the human race. It didn’t matter if it was a cathedral, a mosque, or an ancient temple from Egypt or Mesopotamia, the idea was always the same, to create heaven on earth so that the participants would endeavor to better things in life. There is nothing wrong with any of that. So it is quite an evil thing to do which is to seek the eradication of a previous religion and their means to a higher form of living.

Granted, Catholicism had gone around the world and destroyed many religions itself and built cathedrals on top of ancient reminders of lives lived and now gone in the form of advanced culture. But the efforts at Notre Dame were ambitious and as pure as anywhere on earth, and Paris rose from its efforts to become one of the world’s greatest cities. That lofty platform however does have limits. Paris gave up its values and has thus fallen. And they did it by regretting their success and believing that they owed the world something, so they let in the enemies of its culture and made them to feel welcome, which of course was the Trojan horse that has led to the present circumstances in Paris. It won’t take long and Parisians know it, the western culture they know and love will be lost to time.

Part of that lost attribute to success is their willingness to appease the enemies of their culture by so quickly dissociating the desecration of their greatest landmark, Notre Dame to the acts of terrorism when in reality the intent had been shown and the neighborhood around it has been talking about it for weeks. You know the culture is conquered when they won’t name an enemy. For a cathedral that had been lit for centuries with candles and torches, a small electrical fire or a cigarette wasn’t going to cause that kind of damage. There would need to be an accelerant to get into that dry old wood quickly, and with great expansion. We weren’t born yesterday. The fear of being called Islamophobic is much greater. Paris would rather watch its symbols of greatness burn to the ground than be called names.

We are seeing an attack not just on symbols of western civilization, but on Christianity as we know it. The war is Biblical in scale and was predicted in the Book of Revelations, sure. But even as we watch the actions occur we are still empowered to stop it. We don’t have to live up to a prophesy if we don’t want to. Future cathedrals like Notre Dame don’t have to be burned down to make way for the Vico Cycle. We can say no, and Paris should. The radicals in those neighborhoods around Notre Dame, they shouldn’t have their way with western civilization without an adequate defense. But first everyone has to admit to themselves what’s going on, and not just seek to blame such a tragedy on an accident, so not to inflame the enemy. Name the beast and go to war with it. Then eradicate it into oblivion. That is the only proper path forward.

Julian Assange is an Alley, not an Enemy

I felt bad for Julian Assange after being ripped out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London after his 7-year asylum there. But it had to end eventually. I know the Embassy well, and understand the geography around it, while visiting it was obvious to me that Assange couldn’t stay there forever. The conditions are better now for his freedom than they were 7 years ago when he had to seek shelter from Ecuador from prosecution over the publication of the Bradley Manning’s classified document disclosures which caused him to be court martialed from the United States Army in 2013. From there the little fella turned himself into a girl and received a pardon from President Obama. But Assange and his Wikileaks was the outlet that published the classified material and authorities have been after Julian since. I’m not supportive of the whole Bradley Manning/Julian Assange relationship, but I became somewhat of a fan during the Trump campaign. I think its safe to say that without Wikileaks, Trump wouldn’t have been able to be elected president, because it was the only fair and balanced media functioning in the world it appears, and that’s what Trump needed, a level playing field which Wikileaks gave him. And as we now know quite well, maybe the secrets that Wikileaks did publish were good after all as we’ve learned just how corrupt the Deep State truly is. I’m all for freedom of the press to keep the bad guys under review. Unfortunately, these days the bad guys in the press are helping the bad guys in the world, so Wikileaks has become something I value.

Honestly, I think extradition to the United States is the best thing for Assange and Wikileaks. Being held up in the Ecuadorian Embassy wasn’t much different from prison, Assange is more effective out fighting than hiding. If I were in the Trump administration, I’d give Assange immunity and hire him to crack open the Deep State. After all, it was Assange who has said that he didn’t get his information on the DNC which was published during the summer of 2016 from the Russians, which was at the heart of the Mueller investigation. So whom did he get it from and can Assange reveal who exactly killed Seth Rich, the Democrat operative who was turning whistleblower before he suddenly ended up dead? There are a lot of bodies that need to fall over the documents revealed by Wikileaks regarding John Podesta and the rest of the DNC for crimes they openly committed, that are much more severe than anything done by the people who were prosecuted within the Trump administration—such as General Flynn and Paul Manafort.

There are some real bad people functioning within the American government who are directly connected to people in the mainstream press and the politics of the Democrat party who need to be brought down and Julian Assange is just the guy to do it. He knows who did what and when which has been no good to any of us with him hiding from trumped-up sex charges in Sweden. Authorities there have been pursuing a rape case against Assange but given what we know about the world of this last decade, I have no illusions that the whole thing was a set-up. Assange should have been careful whom he had sex with, but the rape looks clearly to have bee a set-up from the beginning. Just like the case with the nice kid from Texas Cody Wilson, who was running Defense Distributed. Authorities couldn’t beat him in court, because the kid was too smart so they lingered in the background until the fame and attention went to the young man’s head and he ended up having sex with a sixteen year old girl that he met on SugarDaddyMeet. Once he did that he lost all his leverage as a First and Second Amendment crusader and has been effectively silenced. It is clear that the same kind of thing was going on with Assange. It is the MO of all authority figures.

The bad people of the world aren’t going to stop what they are doing, they live by different rules and they aren’t afraid to let us all know that. If someone like Assange or Wilson steps out of line, they throw the legal book at them because they control the law. What we need Assange for is to check the authorities’ power with real reporting. In the United States the bad guys have taken over the media so they can control what the public learns about their misdeeds and they are after Assange not for any rape that might have occurred, but because Wikileaks is a threat to them. They need to control the message so they need to shut down the voices that are most prone to exploiting them. They aren’t worried about ABC News or NBC, but they are worried about Wikileaks. For the Trump administration, Assange is the best witness to his own innocence that there is, and he is the best outlet for freeing Roger Stone from his own case which is motivated by the same forces—to shut down challenges to the system’s control over the masses.

You don’t have to look hard to see the pattern, whether it is Julian Assange, Roger Stone, or Alex Jones, the system itself which is global in nature is seeking to shut down the most vocal voices against them. In the case of all those people they all have vices which are easy to exploit so authorities use the rules to their own advantage to do so, and hopefully send a message to the rest of us to behave. It’s not going to work, at least not with me. In the case of the names mentioned, they are all smart guys, but as I said, they had vices which the bad guys were able to exploit. Especially in the case of Cody Wilson, a young man suddenly very popular and a desire to have female worship in the form of young girls. But if you really want to win this fight, you can’t have vices. You have to be smarter than the bad guys, and more morally perfect. You can’t give them anything and you have to assume that they are watching you everywhere you go, because they are. They are constantly monitoring your web browsing habits, they watch and track you wherever you go, and they know when you are speeding on the highway. If you give them anything, they will use it against you. If they can get to somebody that you care about and ruin them to get to you, they’ll do it, you better believe it.

That is why I think Trump should cut a deal with Assange and help him with his case in Sweden. Make Assange an ally not a villain and use him to destroy the Deep State, once and for all. Destroy the Democrats by exposing their role in creating the Russian hoax and in the death of Seth Rich. Set the world of corruption on fire by putting a very motivated witness on the stand in Assange and let the whole thing just burn. James Comey, Clapper, Brennon, and the Obama administration in general wanted to burn all of us to the ground, to advance a global objective that was to spread socialism to every corner of the earth. Why not throw it all back at them? Julian Assange is the key in doing so.

The Rise and Fall of Civilizations

I did manage to get to the Egypt: Time of the Pharaohs exhibit at the Cincinnati Museum Center and enjoyed it quite a lot. It was very well done as most of those exhibits are and I managed to learn a few new things which is always fun. I compare those experiences always to the museums of The British Museum of London and the Louvre in Paris as kind of e benchmark of excellence. While the Cincinnati Museum is not as large as those in other cities, the quality is every bit as good, if not much higher, especially after the 2 and a half years restoration project of Union Terminal that was just completed. Aside from the great museum in Cairo the British Museum and the Louvre have excellent sections on just Egypt so that is the standard I measure everything against. And with that in mind I spent a few hours going through it with my two daughters and we had a great time. I’d recommend it to anyone, even those casually interested.

I’m not particularly impressed with Egyptian culture, but we cannot ignore them, they had a culture that lasted over eight thousand years and three of those were in a high city-state existence with very complicated social structures, so they were obviously doing something correctly. But I can’t help but see the pattern in their society whether it be the Indus Valley, the various dynasties in China, the Maya, the Aztecs, the Romans, the English, all societies go through their own version of the Vico Cycle and end up surprisingly thriving one moment in geological time, then abandoned and back to being hunters and gathers. It is certainly my proposal that is precisely what happened in North America once the Europeans started officially settling in the “New World.” By the time Christopher Columbus landed likely the Egyptians, the Phoenicians, the Vikings, the Celts, the Chinese and who knows whoever else had risen and fallen many times over and what was left were the basics of human experience in the form of hunters and gathers. The Indians as they were called were not a sophisticated human development, but a failed one that was clinging to their pasts through oral tradition, but in reality, they were back to the mud huts of their antiquity. We could look at the living conditions of the outskirts of modern-day Chicago and declare we are headed presently in the same direction.

And the cause of it all was quite clear painted on a wall at the Egypt exhibit for which I took the picture shown here, of the pyramid style cultural model that many of us so much understand subconsciously. The idea of a king/god at the top and a bunch of worker bees at the bottom which support all that is above them. I would contend that while it is true that such a structure allowed societies to maintain themselves for many years, from thousands of years such as the Egyptians experienced to just a few hundred as was the case of the English. The advantage of the west was that there was a structure which the Orientals often copied through trade that provided sustenance in organized city states, but at a cost to individual rights. While most societies knocked on the door to the concept of individual rights, they often missed the mark until the idea for a new model came about under the American invention where there wasn’t supposed to be a god like king or a society of servants who knew their place in the scheme of things and were happy to contend themselves to it.

Looking at that same pyramid model of society from the American point of view would result in totally different outcomes. In America an individual can marry or work at any level they desire. The printing press took away the power of the High Priests of previous cultures and put the power of knowledge in the hands of individuals and the ability to have gun ownership took away the need of the state to defend the individual. Those two inventions of thought destroyed the typical power structure of all previous societies and started something new. Unfortunately, it goes against thousands and thousands of years of human programing. We may have invented a new form of social structure, but our innate habits have not yet adapted them to reality. We still hear daily in politics that we are all supposed to be “middle class” citizens and that we need the guidance of the “upper class” to guide us through our lives from birth to death. That is after all the very structure accepted in modern-day Washington D.C. The great tragedy from those who support that structure is that Donald Trump is the evidence that anybody can rise to the top. The premise of the college scandals we are hearing about in the news presently is the fall from grace that the “uppers” can’t just buy their way into society, that merit is the way its supposed to be in America. There are many who are struggling with the very concept of individual growth as opposed to tiered structures such as the Egyptians had.

I would offer that the reason that the Egyptians did last so long, just as Europe has under Roman Catholicism was that they managed to hold their societies together through superstition and mere belief due to the fact that most of their lower class people were stupid—that they couldn’t read or obtain information for themselves, nor could they defend any property they acquired. They needed the power of the state to do that. And in the vacuum of those long periods of state development great attributes such as roads and plumbing became standard, as did the arts of thought, writing, performing, and oral traditions which preserved their emerging society in a way that could be studied later, and was beneficial. But also was the evolution to the individual, the divorce from group think into the realization of individualized power, for which America became. Often when societies have arrived at this juncture in the past, they fell apart, and did not keep it together long enough to last. Without other nations to conquer and the fear of the gods coming to destroy everyone if they didn’t sacrifice their family cat, advanced societies just didn’t know what the aim of life was but to defend it from the possibility of death, and that kept their societies at least focused on their own societal self-preservation.

But it’s always a short-lived gain. The real mark of a proper society is how well it taps into the individual characteristics of its people and although Europe for the most part was quite ominous in its king state behaviors, which were direct descendents of the Egyptians and many others who came before, the society of western civilization itself did give rise to the power of the individual, of the ability to marry whom one wanted and to pursue a career of their own making. This was a major transition of thought that many struggle with even today. But it is the superior guidepost of an advanced society. While the Egyptians had done many things correctly in their thousands of years of reign on planet earth, they missed the mark on the key to all human endeavor, the right of the individual to function from its own bliss. They were knocking on the door especially with their concepts of arriving into their own deaths, but the higher concept was that heaven was always here on earth and it only took their own minds to see it. We should admire what the Egyptians were able to achieve over an eight-thousand-year period, but more than that we should then conclude what America has achieved in just over 200 years. And it is that perspective which we should all carry into the future. Because that is the one that counts the most—achievement. Not where we reside on a ladder of perceptive power.

The Josh Gates Fabulous Broadcast of ‘Egypt Live’

It was a remarkable evening that I looked forward to all weekend. At 2 AM in Egypt, 8 PM Sunday night April 7th, Josh Gates from Expedition Unknown and Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass opened up the 2,500-year-old tomb of a high priest preserved perfectly on live television. It was simply a fantastic broadcast that did a world of good for archaeology in general and science as a field still very much in its infancy. I often talk about the need for more large-scale programming like this on television. I was quite impressed with the efforts in England while I visited there of the English Heritage group and the Time Team which produced lots of fantastic episodes of excavations on television with great enthusiasm. The funding from the shows allowed them to do enormous amounts of archaeology all over Great Britain which inevitably has advanced the sciences tremendously. Josh Gates is the closest we have in the United States to being able to duplicate such a magnificent feat, so I was rooting for his success. But what he and Dr. Hawass managed exceeded my expectations. I’ve watched the two-hour program three more times since and enjoyed every moment. As Josh said at the end, Egyptian society was around for 3000 years and as scientists there is still a long way to go to uncovering everything we need to know. We are very much looking at the very early infancy of the field of archaeology and there is a lot to learn. And for perspective, we are talking about in Egypt a span of time that they were successful that pretty much eclipses the entirety of our known history in the west or east. We have a lot to learn about Egypt and the cultures that came before it, and we aren’t going to get there by playing it safe and not asking the hard questions about the origins of the human species.

There is growing evidence that the Egyptians or at the very least the Phoenicians were global cultures that had in influence in North America and were crossing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans thousands of years before Christ was born so more investigations into the field of archaeology are important. The field itself is very young, around 100 years and we were too quick as a culture to accept all the discoveries made in the early days as the final testament to a long story that still needed to be uncovered. I tend to think very differently about these kinds of things largely because of the great novel by James Joyce titled Finnegans Wake which framed the whole concept of the Vico Cycle for which all cultures rise and fall and have for the entire span of human consciousness. We have been taught incorrectly in our schools across the world that mankind evolved directly from generation to generation with a kind of thoughtful evolution but that simply wasn’t the case. There were periods of high civilization all around the world at different periods and they fell for similar reasons wherever they were attempted. Egypt was one of the more successful and longest lasting, but there were others after them and before them who scratched at greatness but resided back into themselves and they all followed a similar pattern.

My interest in politics is very much connected to my interest in cultures and what makes success and failures. Society isn’t something that just happens, it is something that must be managed and how and what we do to manage it is very much the million-dollar question. Based on my understanding of world history, which is much deeper than the average curiosity seeker, I have my political preferences that are well on the political right in American culture which of course puts those ideas well to the right around the world. Even left leaning political beliefs in America are rather conservative around the world presently, and I see no reason why this has to remain so. The way to have a successful society is to follow the path of success that works. You can’t just throw any hodge podge idea into something and make it work. For a society to thrive there has to be elements of success in it, and to understand that, we have to be willing to admit such a concept to ourselves from the perspective of academia. Presently academia is in denial and is very unreliable.

I think the best thing to happen to the science of archaeology and the sciences directly connected to it is the Indiana Jones movies. It’s safe to say that Josh Gates was influenced by those movies, but so is most of those working successfully in the sciences today. Indiana Jones made science exciting for a new generation which is why there is this explosion of discovery going on these days largely by amateur explorers. In my own life I received most of my instruction on world history and comparative religion from Joseph Campbell who was something of a maverick academic. He was the guiding light of Star Wars by shaping the direction George Lucas took in creating modern mythology. I loved Star Wars and wanted to know more, so it took me on a 30-year journey that is still very much alive today into the realm of mythology, psychology, philosophy, archaeology, the arts etc. Joseph Campbell taught a very maverick class on mythology at Sarah Lawrence College and gained some fame with his book The Hero with a Thousand Faces which then became the unofficial guidebook for Star Wars—the most modern mythology of our culture. Having proper ideas in the form of mythology is one of the keys to having a successful culture. Mankind needs to understand its relationship to the universe, and once it starts to lose sight of that, the culture will begin to decline, no matter how much wealth or political prestige it has managed to acquire over time. More recently the television show Game of Thrones is a mythology that people are finding a relationship to that is very powerful. Even though the situations are fictional, the content of the story is very much representative of our current culture and it is when this happens that human civilizations thrive the most.

Science works best when it is explored without too much rigidity, and the Josh Gates Expedition Unknown was very much along those lines. The goal of science should not be in making a discovery for the school a scientist teaches at, but in uncovering the past so that we can make decisions for the future as quickly as possible. In understanding the myths of the past so that the myths of our future can help carry us all to a future state of prosperity and understanding. But titles in science such as an archaeology, or a paleontologist, or a geologist don’t do much for science because what we need to learn often crosses over into other fields and if scientists are functioning with too much specialization, they’ll miss the forest for the trees, which happens all too often. Joseph Campbell was very successful because he was able to explore many different fields of the sciences and allowed the evidence to take him wherever it went. He did not function within the parameters that scientists created for themselves, he went where science was. And that is a lesson that we all need to keep in mind these days. Josh Gates certainly gets it and hopefully he can continue to take archaeology and entertainment and push them into the realm of public consumption the way he did with his Egypt Live broadcast. Because there is a lot more to learn and we are just scratching the surface. And that is the thrill of discovery for which drives all successful cultures—which always starts with a question and ends with adventure and realization.

“Sawed Off Shotguns”

Sure you have a right to be angry dear reader. They have been lying to you. All these climate losers who are trying to propose that the world is coming to an end in just 12 years from this point in time are the types of people who are the premier examples of why drugs in our society should be illegal. Because they are dumb. Dangerously dumb. They don’t understand climate science, they trust scientists are part of the problem and don’t see how academia has been corrupted by a lift leaning political class. To understand the type of people who are falling for these schemes I wouldn’t go so far to make fun of them, because I honestly don’t think they understand much about life. To understand them I recommend listening to the song by The Glorious Sons titled “Sawed Off Shotgun.” Those types of people reflected in that very below the line song are those who are getting suckered by the climate change advocates. They have grown up stupid and crippled intellectually making them victims to every little ailment and its sad to see, but it is they who are now functioning as voters and democratic participants in our culture, and a lot of them, way too many of them are hooked on OxyContin just as the song states.

Even if the United States adopted all the climate measures proposed by these radical new Green Deal advocates, China and Russia as well as most of India and the rest of the world all the way over to the Mediterranean Sea will continue polluting at an alarming rate and none of them, especially China is about to give up anything to halt the expansion of their economies. They are going to pollute in great abundance. The only thing that needs to be understood about the entire Green New Deal nonsense is that the goal is to attempt to stop the American economy so that the other economies of the world can gain strength. You won’t see any of these green advocates protesting China, because communism is their goal anyway. They aren’t protesting Russia, if they did most of them would be killed. No, they protest America because that is the big dog economy and they want to end it. That is the game and to get everyone to forget how the game is played they have created a society of drug induced losers who know they are being played but don’t know how to step away and to end the cycle.

I had a pretty good day a few days ago, it was nice outside so I took the long way home and drove about 100 MPH down the road listening to the “Sawed Off Shotgun” song on my car stereo while I listened to Sean Hannity on my phone. It was an interesting contrast of thought processes that came together quite nicely. Watching that music video for that song I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the audience. They know they are being manipulated and toyed with politically. They know they have been drug induced to be suckers in a society that has hostile elements trying to penetrate it for the destruction of all American influence, but they don’t know how to deal with it but through more cigarettes and alcohol to drown out the effects. I’ve noticed this trend in other musical artists of this generation, they understand that there is a game being played, but they don’t know who to trust, literally. Their minds have been robbed from them and they are defenseless in a scary world. If someone tells them the world is coming to an end in 12 years of course it scares them. They are purposely too stupid to know better.

But that’s the only way it works. You have to be stupid and deliberately void of an understanding of current events to believe that liberals really want to save the planet from a path of 12-year destruction. It’s as much of a hoax as saying that Santa Clause will be president of the United States in 2028. It’s just not in the realm of possibility. The only way anybody could believe such a thing is to get hooked on some drug and to numb your mind to such a degree that you can’t process any real information. And currently much of the youth, people under 30, are in the state represented in that music video and they are truly victims of reality, because they have been taught to be that way. They are losing it and they want to protest but they have no idea where to direct their anger. They have been lied to by everyone and now they are supposed to participate in our republic to keep it going and all they can think to do is to take another drink and talk about getting a sawed-off shotgun. For what we have no idea, but the idea of it gives them a little strength to even pose the proposition.

And so it was in my experience in listening to that song while Sean Hannity laid out the case of the phony Mueller investigation that if I didn’t know better, I could see how people would fall into that trap of believing all the Green New Deal garbage. So since those people don’t know any different I feel confident to assure them that the earth will still be here 12 years from now. Humans don’t have much of a measurable impact on any climate conditions. Climate change is a natural condition that will happen long into the future and it occurred long before humans were ever on the scene. The goal in attempting to connect climate change with powerful economies is only to stop the growth of capitalism so that the world will turn toward communism. Communism is the way of life in China and the left still hopes that it will take root in the West so that is all there is to the climate change arguments. They (the left) hope that enough people are hooked on so much OxyContin and are afraid of the tax man that they won’t question the nature of the Green New Deal. They’ll just follow along and direct their sawed off shotguns at the Trump administration instead of the liars and cheats that are so dominate in the Democrat party.

But the anger is real, the way that young people feel, it is not misplaced. They know someone is lying to them. They are at least that smart even though their minds have been deliberately clipped just like some caged bird so that they can’t fly away. I don’t like the words of that song, but I do like the spirit. People understand that something is happening and they literally don’t know who to trust. So I offer this much, you can trust that the world will be here at 2030 and climate change will have no impact on the state of it. Rather, we’ll be traveling to Mars and settling other destinations in space. And things will be better tomorrow than they are today, especially if you let the Trump administration do their work. The entire premise of the climate change argument is to gain power and I think people are rebellious enough to see through that. Maybe not consciously, but their innate instincts are correct, and so long as they keep asking those questions, everything will be alright. Just make sure to stay away from OxyContin and alcohol and the world will make a lot more sense.

We Are All Being Suckered

Among the protestors at the border wall visit by President Trump at El Centro in California was a person holding a sign referencing that “love had no borders.” It reminded me of the hippie mantra that has been around for quite some time about how private property in America should be abandoned so that communism ideas could be utilized in a giant fenceless world like it was when the Indians had the run of the planet and were dancing just to make it rain. The premise of this borderless world that is being proposed is nothing short of ridiculous, and it ignores many basic foundations that are part of any relationship with reality. The truth is quite the opposite from what was on that sign from the Trump protestor. Love demands borders, not the other way around. Borders indicate value in something and a means to protect it from a lack of value. Without a border, there is no value, and that is precisely the same conditions present in all relationships. There needs to be a barrier of some kind to keep out the rif raf. If everything is always open, then there is no value for what is the foundation of any relationship.

This actually says a lot about liberalism in general. Where conservatives get into trouble is when they start accepting the same premise, as we all get that exposure in our basic religions. I grew up pretty involved in the Christian ideas for things but had to draw a line once I realized how bad and socialist many of the ideas about a mainstream religion were at the foundations. To be a good Christian means that you have to be a bit of a socialist. I wouldn’t say that I gave up religion, only that I outgrew it. I personally couldn’t live with the schizophrenic nature of religion, so I had to move on to more individualized concepts. The idea that is proposed in most religions is the same nonsense advocated in most political societies, a non-value judgement in loving your neighbor as yourself. The whole turn the other cheek ridiculousness is just stupid. It says that no matter what someone does we are not supposed to judge them for it and that we are supposed to provide love without consequence. That of course doesn’t make any sense so I have abandoned all those foundations of thought in my life. And you have to in order to understand the necessity for a border wall. This is exactly how Republicans have been suckered into helping the borderless world advocates advance their cause, by accepting the Christian ideas of loving our neighbors as ourselves no matter what value the neighbor brings to the table.

Democrats are quite audacious when they are proposing that California be a sanctuary state, that the illegal nature of immigration be ignored completely and the laws that are currently in place be looked over as if they weren’t even there. It’s laughable really. What makes them thing that they can ignore rules about the American border but that the rest of us are going to obey their rules on something like gun control? They have completely advocated for breaking the law in regard to immigration yet every time there is an excuse they seek more rules on gun control thinking that somehow we are all going to just fall in line and obey a bunch of new rules that they propose. It’s all very ridiculous, and ignorant. They think what they do about us because of their experience, that we tend to be nice law biding people and even when they act poorly we forgive them and let them off the hood from their bad behavior. This as every spoiled brat knows is how respect is lost for all authority and the value is cheapened to the point of chaos. The Christian teachings for which the Roman Empire first fought, then advocated for enjoyed the idea because it made it easier to control the people of their empire under common themes, but it certainly didn’t help individuals have value for each other.

Just imagine if someone wanted to go across the border in China, or Russia? Wouldn’t anybody advocate for open borders there? Absolutely not. Does anybody think they could swim over into Japan and just start walking around unchecked? 100% not. The only reason illegal immigration is advocated in the United States if due to the fact that the Democrats want them in their political party and they want to undo the premise of value for which the United States has been built. Democrats are not for America, they are for its undoing. But before conservatives can act on that knowledge they have to understand the nature of the open border concept.

Love can’t happen unless there is value behind it. Nobody can tell another person that they love them without a basic understanding of the value behind those words. It’s not by any accident that when communists were trying to penetrate American culture at the level of our college campuses that free love was the means of establishing roots in our culture. People like sex so if the idea of sex without value could be established then Americans would accept other quandaries of the same nature, and eventually this whole borderless world concept might be accepted. But people learned as they still are, that relationships without value do not work, even if it’s just sex that is the foundation. Anybody at anytime can’t just walk into a bedroom and start having sex. Generally, among humans there has to be boundaries of trust that are proposed and the walls to personal access are only lowered when those boundaries are trusted, then sex can happen. But to say that everyone should just love their neighbor and love them no matter what that neighbor does is just stupid. It ignores all the basic laws of value which is then defined by love.

Like that protestor, most of us function every day with a mix of messages that we get from various aspects of cultural development. Some of those ideas come from our religions. Some from our political nature, from our entertainment, from our upbringing. But in most of those cases these days the influence of long generations of war have left us fragmented in what we believe. The staunch Republican who understands the need for private property and capital investments into making our economy grow are also those who go to church on Sunday and are told to act like socialists and to chastise those who make money and if you do have a lot of money that the only way you can get into Heaven is to give it all away. So we are also told that these illegal immigrants are poor and that we are supposed to all welcome them with open arms and ignore that ridiculous border. But while we are focused on all that we don’t pay attention to why those people were poor to begin with, that they were made that way by the political systems currently in place to attack our border and our concepts of civilization for the advancement of valueless ideas. And once we accept that nutty idea we would accept the political structure behind it. A destruction of the foundations America was built upon and the acceptance of a one world nation ran by liberalism. That is their dream, but to get it we have to accept that love has no meaning or borders and that to be good Christians we must give everything up, including our country for the betterment of a world in need so that we can all get into Heaven. And for that we are all being played as suckers.
