Twitter's CorrectThink™ Algos a.k.a. New Shadowban™

Alternative Title:

How I Finally Got Twitter to Show Me Rabbi Shmuley by Replying Positively to a Comment on an Antisemitic Timeline!

This is actually TWO POSTS IN ONE. And exposing Twitter’s psychological manipulation algorithms (well-intended as they are) is the SMALLER POST.

Let me lead into this with a tweet from Don Junior about Facebook.

I will just theorize RIGHT HERE AND NOW that Facebook, like the rest of current “mainstream” social media, will NEVER do something about it. Social media IS the absolute best way to socially engineer us, now that FAKE NEWS is busted to hell and back. This ain’t gonna stop. We can only migrate AWAY from control. HOWEVER, busting their political operations IS a way of inhibiting them – of making them BTFO.

And who knows? After MONOPOLY BREAKUP, Twitter and Facebook may spawn some new companies that actually DROP THE POLITICS.

So – without further ado – let’s bust one of their political operations. While teaching a more important lesson about DIVISION and THOSE WHO WANT IT.

I have been following Rabbi Shmuley Boteach – “America’s Rabbi” – since the 1990s. I was first introduced to him on WorldNetDaily – a.k.a. WND – https://www.wnd.com – where he had a column for YEARS, before he moved up to the big leagues.

Rabbi Shmuley is one of those people who is just a straight shooter with absolutely no hidden agenda. He says what is on his mind, but he does it as nicely as humanly possible. He’s very friendly to Evangelical Christians, and represents “religious conservatives” in general, although to be honest, he’s friendly towards everybody. He’s on the very conservative end of Judaism, but he’s as engaging with the non-Orthodox public as people at the OTHER end of Judaism.

He’s a UNITER – not a DIVIDER.

Deep-theologically – meaning at an abstract level, talking about God and Biblical fundamentals – I’m very close to this guy. There’s a rabbi I’m even more a fan of, whose sect got REALLY BIG, but that’s another story. My OUTLOOK on God always remains very old-school, even “proto-Christian”. So I always find myself going AMEN to this guy – even when he’s kindly disagreeing with his Christian conservative friends.

Anyway, I could have SWORN I was following Rabbi Shmuley on Twitter from YEARS ago.

Funny – I had not seen anything from him in YEARS on Twitter. I would not have been surprised if Twitter had actually UNFOLLOWED me from him – or (more likely) had a secret list of PRIORITIZED FOLLOWS and he was near the BOTTOM of my list.

Why? BECAUSE HE’S CONSERVATIVE. He may be very friendly with mainstream figures, even out-and-out liberals, but deep down, he is 100% conservative.

And then – all of a sudden – I see three tweets by the guy. Two that I noticed enough to LIKE THEM.

And then I thought to myself WHAT THE [blank] is up with THAT? How come I haven’t seen my favorite CONSERVATIVE (politically) ORTHODOX (religiously) rabbi – one who (look at his “About” page) is willing to associate publicly with ANYBODY (COUGH, COUGH) – a guy who shuns NOBODY – and I haven’t seen him for YEARS? And then it’s like he’s at the top of my feed. What’s up with THAT?

AH! Twitter simply couldn’t WAIT long enough for the ALGOS to KICK IN so that I wouldn’t notice what CAUSED their political algorithms to activate. Or – more correctly – to SHIFT. For the numbers to CHANGE.

Shortly before I started getting my Rabbi Shmuley tweets again, I had gotten a retweet of a guy I follow on the “Alt-right” named “Battle Beagle”. I typically see Battle Beagle in retweets, rather than direct tweets, but sometimes I do see his original tweets, so a direct tweet COULD have been in my timeline anyway. Unlike Rabbi Shmuley, who I never see, even in retweets. Until now.

Battle Beagle is a bit of an antisemite, but I’m not binary about these things. If you actually pay attention to antisemitism, and don’t just treat is as either one big concentration camp, or one giant dog whistle, one can discover an enormous amount of truth in between about human conflict and misunderstanding. So Battle Beagle’s relatively mild antisemitism “makes one think” – including the always-revealing question of “why is this person antisemitic?” He’s a “good follow”, though a hard follow, and a lot of truth in what he says, mostly about other stuff, or a bit bass-ackwardly, if that truth is directly underpinning his prejudices.

Yes – even the antisemitic stuff has a lesson. If you dig underneath antisemitism, there is always a STORY OF TRUTH – generally not what the antisemite thought, but truth nonetheless. The easy truths – generally realities that are readily misinterpreted – are used to harden the tip of the antisemitic projectile. The FULL TRUTH – the big picture of the whole battle, including the flight path and design of the projectile – that is more of a revelation about humanity as a whole, and not everybody will like it. In fact, it’s kinda scary. We are up against a BIG enemy. Huge and dangerous and HERE like you wouldn’t believe. But it is in asking WHY things are true – even the stuff we don’t like – that there is enlightenment and understanding.

Anyway, sometimes I am tempted to be a bit like Rabbi Shmuley and try to reason publicly with antisemites like those who comment on Battle Beagle’s timeline. In my experience, shaming people away from antisemitism works, but it doesn’t REALLY work. Cheap negative psy-ops are fast, but they are not nearly as effective as RATIONAL, POSITIVE ENGAGEMENT – which would include (COUGH, COUGH) finally showing me Rabbi Shmuley after hiding him from me for YEARS.

So let’s just finish THAT part of today’s lesson – what’s in the title – by spelling out the technical truth. Twitter has algorithms (“algos”) that can “peg us” on various things – you know, just like China’s “social score” horror does – and then they actually try to CORRECT US. So they said “OMG – Wolf is hangin’ around this Battle Beagle antisemite, and he even (see below) left a COMMENT for the FIRST TIME! We gotta FIX THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW!” So they look through my list of follows, FIND Rabbi Schmuley, and REACTIVATE HIM to the top of my timeline.

Yeah, think about that. I had to yell “We want Hitler!” in the crowded theater to get them to show me what I paid for – “Schindler’s List”.

Oy, vey.

I could write the software for this stuff, by the way. I can even tell you what the memo looked like that generated it, about “balance”. Heck – I can tell you what’s WRONG with the Twitter software – why ITS OWN LIBERAL PREJUDICES CAUSED THIS.

What we see is EXACTLY what would have resulted from a liberal mind attempting to “balance things” in its own image. The interesting part is how they did it – a kind of SEMI-AUTOMATIC MODERATION USING EACH OTHER. And when you combine all the little wisps of human intelligence, locked in code, the “deciding software” ACTS exactly like what it is – a human intelligence – in silico – conspiring to be our nanny.

Interesting stuff.

No, seriously – I often get the idea that explaining WHY certain things are understandable facts – NOT coincidence and NOT conspiracy (OK, maybe a DIFFERENT conspiracy than we originally thought) – might actually WORK to get people to realize Jews simply aren’t out to “get them” – and even more to the point why human psychology is largely the same, but history has put us all into fascinatingly different yet very real and not always nice streams of space and time which sometimes veer into – well – let’s just say “interesting times”.

Complicated business.

Nevertheless, one has to PICK THEIR BATTLES HERE. It is EXTREMELY difficult to reason with many – possibly MOST real antisemites, and – well – I don’t have any strong arguments against those who would say that I am wasting my time. Maybe I am. Nevertheless, sometimes I just want to blurt out on these Twitter timelines something like: “Guys – if you would just go after communists and Bolsheviks and socialists and whatever, and drop the ‘Jews’ thing, you would clear out all the toxic cultural Marxist scum and free yourselves from your media chains, without creating the very BACKLASH that pens you in like dumb animals.”

Those who have not yet figured out that DAMN NEAR ANYTHING can be hidden behind the “antisemitism” accusation are just SHEEP to whoever wields that weapon.

Go after THE THING ITSELF. Don’t go after WHO IS STATISTICALLY USED FOR IT. WHICH MAY BE A LIE OR A *FRONT* ANYWAY.

*FRONT* is emphasized for the future. “They want you divided” is very, very, very smart. It uses human shields like a CHAMP.

SO – back to the story.

I had gone onto one of these Battle Beagle posts where he’s talking about some Cultural Marxist vile adult cartoon called “Big Mouth” (Netflix – Obama – Susan “Mugabe is a Moderate” Rice – need I say more? – “adult cartoon” – OH, BUT JOE CAMEL GOES AFTER KIDS!) which features a moment where there is a ship that bears the name “S. S. Liberty”.

This is a reference to the USS Liberty, which was an American Navy vessel which was ATTACKED by Israel during the Six-Day War.

Yes, there is a weird excuse here, in that – in this particularly noxious episode of the show – a girl has her first period INSIDE THE STATUE OF LIBERTY! And that is why the episode is entitled “Everybody Bleeds”! Hooray! So all it is, is a REFERENCE to THAT JOKE!

This is what we call “cover” in the anti-communism game. They ALWAYS use it.

They think they’re SO SMART.

You can imagine the discussion that ensues. Or you can just check it out, until Battle Beagle’s account is inevitably (nevertheless, hopefully not) deleted. Here.

I have to admit – I was thinking to myself “CRAP! What the hell was [whoever] thinking when they did THAT?”

There can be reasons, but next ask WHY beyond those reasons.

Maybe it was a kind of weird self-deprecating joke. Maybe it was TROLLING the Alt-Right. Or MAYBE – just maybe – it was simply meant to do EXACTLY what it did – meaning to TRIGGER THE ANTISEMITES.

That’s actually the KEY to the problem, in my opinion. Dividing from cover is BRILLIANT cultural Marxist psychology. Anger and whip up the antisemites and SCARE JEWS AND ISRAEL SUPPORTERS at the same time.

Meaning that in the latter case, they SCARE UP THE COVER.

Provocation. IT WORKS.

See Candace Owens. It works for blacks, too. You have to listen to her speech. It’s brilliant. Is 2024 too early for this woman? 2028 for sure.

Here was my response:

But let’s not go there just yet. You see it, though, don’t you?

The whole USS Liberty incident is a HUGE recruiting tool for antisemites. It will be debated endlessly like Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin, the Reichstag fire – whatever. It’s AUTOMATIC DIVISION.

Now consider THIS idea – which looks completely separate, but it’s not.

This wonderful Martin Geddes tweet is more about big social chaos (I can fit 9/11 into it very easily, with room to spare for Iranian and Nork nukes, and OH YEAH, let’s go even bigger and just say “nuclear fears” or “terrorism”), but it even works for smaller potatoes like stirring up antisemites on Twitter and Gab.

“THEY WANT YOU DIVIDED.”

Just keep repeating it. That Q quote is a WINNER for eternity.

HUMANITY as a whole is being KEPT DOWN ON THE FARM by DIVISION.

What’s happening here – at the DEEPEST LEVELS – isn’t “Jews rubbing it in our faces”, which is what the antisemites all want to believe in the comfort of an easy, small belief that a small force is arrayed against them.

What is happening is that Cultural Marxists – who I believe are FRONTING for higher and much bigger forces, shall we say – are sowing division, and the SHEEP are grazing on the poisoned weeds.

Anyway, there was a reply on Battle Beagle’s post that I thought was very astute:

This is a KEY realization. So I responded back with a Yuri Bezmenov video on demoralization, resisting the urge to lecture “It’s not Jews – it’s Marxists – and WORSE”. I just stuck to the greater truth of DEMORALIZATION.

NOW – this is critical. Notice that somebody replies to this, and tries to circle things back to the comfort narrative with old antisemitic memes. They WANT to maintain the narrative. “It’s not Marxists – it’s JOOZ!”

If it’s not obvious, this response is basically “Jews poisoning the well – AGAIN”.

Don’t look away. Look at it. This is how viral antisemitic memes propagated before there was an internet. The FEAR LEVEL had to be higher. “Your baby is going to die because of your Jewish neighbor.”

THIS is how they could CAUSE POGROMS.

We can SEE this now because we have the internet, and we have deeper understanding through what amounts to MODEL UNIVERSES.

“THEY WANT YOU DIVIDED.”

Now Twitter could VIRTUE SIGNAL by deleting the Battle Beagle account, in some kind of dramatic horror, but why on Earth (COUGH) should they? Not if they TRULY want to dig down under MODERN antisemitism and ACTUALLY SEE how it is being continuously fed OLD antisemitic MYTHS as a justification for new outrage.

So that we can UNDERSTAND IT.

So that we can ACTUALLY FIGHT IT.

So now understand – I just had an AMAZING teaching moment about how HUMAN DIVISION happens – how old memes lock us in to old myths and old stereotypes. And Twitter [presumably now] wants to DELETE MY PROOF?

I mean, some idiot can report it, and it’s GONE.

In fact, let me go so far to say that IF TWITTER suspends or deletes the Battle Beagle account as a virtue signal, then they are either ON THE OTHER SIDE or they are CONTROLLED OPPOSITION.

This was my response to Martin Geddes. See WHY I said this, and WHY it applies here. See WHY I’m saying “don’t be sheep, people. Figure out WHY this stuff is happening.”

We are in a SCRIPT of DIVISION.

Embracing old reliable division memes is PART OF THE SCRIPT.

Fearing the old reliable division memes is PART OF THE SCRIPT.

Deleting things in horror is PART OF THE SCRIPT.

Looking away is PART OF THE SCRIPT.

Not understanding is PART OF THE SCRIPT.

Not digging deep is PART OF THE SCRIPT.

And what I’m saying is IGNORE THE SCRIPT.

Q said we’re in a movie.

We’re taking over this movie.

W

You angry like Gamera? Be smart like this lady.

SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND.

Even if you don’t understand at first.

Just remember that human understanding will fail, but GODLY understanding will not.

20190918: Robert C. O'Brien Named National Security Advisor

The President announced it himself:

The Pic in the header comes from the first day of the A$AP Rocky Trial in Stockholm. Robert O’Brien was there. The LATimes article is spectacularly devoid of background on Robert O’Brien, other than the position is the 4th National Security Advisor (we were cheated out of Flynn), and that the position is not subject to Senate Confirmation. https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-09-18/national-security-advisor-robert-c-obrien

From FOX News, we understand O’Brien was under consideration as Sec of the Navy for a period of time. He is currently the Special Envoy in charge of hostages. Hmmm…. the President has had excellent success in releasing American hostages.

You get the feeling the pundits are still digging for background on Robert O’Brien? Yeah, me too.

As information comes in on O’Brien, we will edit and add to inform the QTree. If any of you have info to add, please drop it here so we can compile a full bio and be informed.

Hat tip to the greatest group of crowd-sourcers on the Internet.

Zero Hedge is the first media org to come in with background on Robert O’Brien. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-nominates-special-envoy-obrien-replace-bolton-national-security-advisor

Ambassador Robert C. O’Brien serves as the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. Working for Secretary Pompeo, O’Brien leads the U.S. Government’s diplomatic efforts on overseas hostage-related matters. He works closely with the families of American hostages and advises the senior leadership of the U.S. Government on hostage issues. O’Brien also coordinates with the interagency Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell on the development and implementation of U.S. hostage recovery policy and strategy.
O’Brien previously served as Co-Chairman of the U.S. Department of State Public-Private Partnership for Justice Reform in Afghanistan under both Secretaries Rice and Clinton. The PPJRA promoted the rule of law by training Afghan judges, prosecutors and defense lawyers and provided scholarships for young Afghan lawyers to study in the U.S. From 2008 through 2011, O’Brien was a presidentially-appointed member of the U.S. Cultural Property Advisory Committee, which advises the federal government on issues relating to the trafficking of antiquities and other cultural items. In 2005, Mr. O’Brien was nominated by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the U.S. Senate to serve as a U.S. Representative to the 60th session of the United Nations General Assembly where he worked with Ambassador John Bolton. Earlier in his career, O’Brien served as a Senior Legal Officer for the UN Security Council commission that decided claims against Iraq arising out of the first Gulf War. O’Brien was a Major in the U.S. Army Reserve.
O’Brien is the co-founding partner of Larson O’Brien LLP in Los Angeles, a nationally recognized litigation firm. His law practice focuses on complex litigation and international arbitration. In addition to his client work, O’Brien has served as an arbitrator in over 20 international proceedings and he has been appointed by the federal courts to serve as a special master in numerous complex cases.
O’Brien is a graduate of the Boalt Hall School of Law at U.C. Berkeley. He received his B.A. degree in political science, cum laude, from UCLA. He is a member of the Pacific Council on International Policy.
* * *
Like Mitt Romney, whose campaign he worked on as an advisor, O’Brien is a mormon. And after he is confirmed, will be the highest ranking Mormon in the Trump Administration.

As many federal jobs remain unfilled, Trump didn’t take long to nominate O’Brien, which suggests the administration already had him in mind, and that they only needed to vet him.
O’Brien has been involved in many high-profile incidents during the Trump years, including, most recently, the negotiations with Sweden over the fate of rapper A$AP Rocky.

This makes O’Brien the highest ranking Morman in the U.S. government https://t.co/ZN3QOsDHxL
— John Hudson (@John_Hudson) September 18, 2019
Back in 2017, O’Brien was reportedly considered to be Secretary of the Navy, but was instead nominated to his current position, and given the rank of ambassador one year later.

Happy BIRTHDAY, Q Tree!

Today is our birthday!

One year ago today, our fearless leader, Wolfm00n, took it upon himself to create a another meeting place for Treepers. He showed great wisdom and foresight. Thank God he did it. Little did we know, the dark days of the “Great Ban” were just around the corner, November 10th -12th. Thankfully, Wolm00n planted a new QTree.

Susan Dyer via imgur.com

Although we didn’t know it, many of us had been banned over the years. People whom we admired had strangely disappeared into the internet ether. We thought they drifted away or found other pursuits. No, a good many of them were intentionally silenced. The big purge happened after the midterm elections of 2018 and hundreds of us woke up, oblivious to our crimes and homeless. Some were banned for talking about Q or Jeff Sessions, various reasons, and some of us never knew the reason why we were abruptly excluded.

Well, of course we’re going to talk about it. You can’t tell us what we can say or not say…. or cast us as crazy because we’re asking questions. AND don’t tell me not to look at the pink elephant in the room….. cuz all I want to do is look at that damn elephant….. and it’s a BIG elephant.

That was me, screaming at dear husband, November 2018.

But suddenly, we were alone in the woods.

Like some of you, I assumed something was wrong with my computer, or WordPress, and went looking for help to resolve the issue. We all remembered Wolfm00n from his pivotal doctrine Roller Coaster treatise. I searched out Wolfie, and learned my fate = Banned! Shut out! Silenced! Yet, Wolfm00n extended a hand of friendship, to join a new Tree, this beautiful young and vibrant tree. At that point, we only had a couple of pieces of plywood for our Treehouse, but the view was grand and the potential was glorious.

cakecentral.com

To be silenced is antithetical to most of us. It’s why we fight the media and big tech attempts to silence conservatives. Therefore, it was a shock when conservatives attempted to silence each other. Felt like betrayal. It hurts. Many of you still harbor resentment to the other side, which is warranted, but ….. after a little time to nurse the wound, I can’t carry the grudge and still admire SD and all the work he’s done over the years. Something happened, something unexplained, and we may never know the reason why. Those who were still angry wanted to cut down all the Trees, but that would mean no voice for any of us, and we can’t stay quiet for too long.

cakecentral.com

So, we embarked on a new adventure. Wolfm00n had no idea how fast his new Tree would grow. We are forever indebted to Mrs. Wolfm00n and the time she shares her husband with us, here. Thank you, Mrs. Wolfm00n. Speaking of Mrs. Wolfm00n, when the girls showed up at QTree, we were tempted to make the Tree “pretty”, but pink was not the right color for patriotism. We needed RED, WHITE, and BLUE.

We were a little bit bumpy and awkward at first, like a toddler learning to walk, but we’re strong, thriving, and running with the wind, a year later. Our forecast for the remainder of 2019 and into 2020 is excellent, a “strong buy”.

A few days ago, we crossed 250K comments. It was a big moment and personal vindication for Wolfm00n – you were right to do what you did. Checking this morning, we’re over 253K. Our tree is blessed with an overabundance of fertilizer (hehe), plenty of sunshine (We value free speech – “Use it or lose it”.), and an ample supply of water (comments), which are sometimes a steady drip, and at other times…. a great flood. We even have “Butterfly” for our tree, and a church to help us through the rough spots.

Our Tree can be a wondrous and beautiful thing, especially on Saturday mornings when Wheatie posts great pics. The QTree is tended and grows daily with FLEP’s Good News Roundup. Thank you, FLEP. Other members have chipped in to contribute. We learn something new, every day.

Our Tree is still smaller, which is fine with us. We’re more friendly, and far more optimistic. We care about each other (PHC and CrossThread, the daughter to Ga/FL) and many of us have become friends. It’s kind of like we were all kids together, growing up in the same neighborhood, who found each other again.

Magic Treehouse on Pinterest

We’re really just…. normal Americans (with MANY like-minded friends overseas), who represent an unbelievably broad pool of expertise. We have members who can sing like an angel, CPA’s, lawyers, health experts, pilots, engineers, DRILLERs, IT experts, a spelunker, and those who can actually “can” the summer bounty. ALL of them have common sense. Gheez, if our group was rounded up and dispatched to another planet, we could start a new civilization quickly.

But we might need to save our country …… first. As in, America, first.

There are very few absolutes at the QTreeHouse. Yet, one thing is certain, you guys love good food and drink. For our birthday, I looked long and hard for an appropriate birthday cake, but I found as many great cakes as their are opinions and wisdom in the QTreeHouse. I may have to start over again. If you need me, I’ll be in the kitchen…… trying to create a masterpiece worthy for our friends.

Congratulations to Wolfm00n and all the best birthday wishes to Treepers here. Together, we look forward to the Trump/Pence Reelection campaign of 2020.

It’s been the best year, EVAH!

Dear KAG: 20190918 Open Thread

Morning, folks. Are we all ready for hump day?

Guess what today is….

Give up?

It’s the birthday of FAKE NEWS! On September 18, 1851, the New York Times began publishing. In honor of their current…uh…status, and this week’s kerfuffle, some mood music is in order.

A translation of the text can be found here, but really, the alternate lyrics are far more meaningful.

Okay, so here’s the deal. This is the open thread. This is where we all come to get the news that other Q tree inhabitants think is worth knowing and sharing. Please, post links to any “news” stories quoted, and ask for help if you are stumped as to how to do that. We’re a friendly lot. Someone will be with you shortly, and there is no reason to have to press one for English.

Free speech, and the open exchange and hashing out of ideas is not only allowed, but encouraged. If we all don’t use it, we’re going to lose it. A little incivility goes a long way, though. Even those who are red pilled should think twice before tangling with the men in black.

https://youtu.be/DT3GnJStVEw

With or without the red pill and the Matrix, such actions could get us 8chaned.

And now for some house keeping:

There are a few rules here in the branches of the Q Tree. Our host, Wolfm00n, outlined them in a post on New Years Day. Please, review these rules from time to time, like when you turn the sound off on the television because Shepard Smith’s show just started.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Steve suggests – to be accurate – no shooting at the nuclear weapons, but to be safe about it, don’t event point firearms toward them. I, Deplorable Patriot, bossy chick that I am, request no teasing the animals, pets and wildlife alike.

Teasing and trolling the lefties and their bastions, on the other hand is a moral imperative.

__________________________________________________

In the eternal fight against the forces of evil and darkness, unceasing prayer is always needed. The following is an expansion of a reading from this coming Sunday’s Lectionary

From the Book of the Prophet Amos 8:1-10

These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold a hook to draw down the fruit. [2] And he said: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A hook to draw down fruit. And the Lord said to me: The end is come upon my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more. [3] And the hinges of the temple shall screak in that day, saith the Lord God: many shall die: silence shall be cast in every place. [4] Hear this, you that crush the poor, and make the needy of the land to fail, [5] Saying: When will the month be over, and we shall sell our wares: and the sabbath, and we shall open the corn: that we may lessen the measure, and increase the sicle, and may convey in deceitful balances,
[6] That we may possess the needy for money, and the poor for a pair of shoes, and may sell the refuse of the corn? [7] The Lord hath sworn against the pride of Jacob: surely I will never forget all their works. [8] Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein: and rise up altogether as a river, and be cast out, and run down as the river of Egypt? [9]And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that the sun shall go down at midday, and I will make the earth dark in the day of light: [10] And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation: and I will bring up sackcloth upon every back of yours, and baldness upon every head: and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the latter end thereof as a bitter day.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.

And now, on to the day’s news…..

PS – Thanks to Daughn for a heck of a Trump Rally thread. Thanks to President Trump and his people for an AMAZING RALLY – a great speech – and the HOPE that New Mexico will join us even more strongly as a key part of a GREAT AMERICA.

PRAISE GOD – and may we always hold our motto dear and true – IN GOD WE TRUST.

20190916: New Mexico Rally Thread, 9:00pm Eastern Time.

Trump will rally in Rio Rancho at the Santa Ana Star Center, a 7,000-seat facility about 20 miles northeast of downtown Albuquerque. Don’t let the media fool you, New Mexico is in play. Only reason we lost New Mexico in 2016 was because of Gary Johnson (who took almost 10% of vote).

CSPAN will carry the rally at 9:00pm Eastern Time.

Interesting to note:

In 2016, Hillary Clinton won 48.3 percent of the vote in New Mexico, while Trump won 40 percent and Gary Johnson won 9.3 percent.

“Trump Victory is leaving nothing on the table in 2020, and New Mexico is definitely a focus as part of that strategy,” Samantha Zager, regional communications director for the campaign in Western states, told the Santa Fe New Mexican in August. “New Mexico voters can expect to see our army of volunteers recruiting, registering and contacting individuals to share their support for President Trump and Republicans up and down the ticket.”

Confessions of a Retrosexual Backtivist

OK. Confession time.

I’m not just a classic liberal – I’m a PALEOLIBERAL. Which in these incipient socialist times means that I now resemble a “classic conservative”.

Yeah, it’s complicated.

But the bottom line, is that I want America to be conservative enough that it’s MORALLY SAFE to be a wee bit liberal again, championing such radical things as a “wide interpretation” of the BILL OF RIGHTS.

You know – so I can be a flaming liberal moonbat like RAND PAUL!

OK – that’s not working. Let’s try something else.

This is a BOOK REVIEW. Of a GREAT BOOK. By a GREAT THINKER.

William S. Lind is a name I had heard of before, back on some blog we now call OT, otherwise known as CTH, or The Conservative Treehouse, or The Last Refuge. Lind’s name came up in the context of two great ideas, both of which I was heavily schooled in, by several of the sharp conservatives hanging out at Sundance’s place. Those ideas were:

  • 4GW – short for 4th Generation Warfare
  • Cultural Marxism in America

But if you look these up on Marxypedia, and search out any connection to William S. Lind, you will get the impression that he’s an unknown crackpot of some kind. HA! More deception by the communist occupation.

Lind is not without controversy, as BOTH of his claims to fame have been vociferously criticized by people who typically get FOUR OR MORE Suspicious Cats from me.

You know – like THE DAILY KOS.

The criticisms of Lind, in my opinion, give away his importance.

So as you might imagine, Lind’s name and his self-description as a “paleoconservative” on the back cover were very attractive to me – just as attractive as the 4GW paleo-hottie featured on the front cover of his book.

TIME WARS.

Cunning stuff, from the master of 4GW.

Yes, retroculture looks a bit like cultural retreat, and that is indeed part of its brilliance.

Retroculture is an extremely disruptive idea that was just waiting for somebody to BRAND it.

Retroculture was with me every time I grabbed OLD AMERICAN HARDWOOD AND STEEL HAND TOOLS from one more estate sale, to replace CHEATIN’ CHINESE POT METAL JUNK that broke during the first few uses.

Retroculture was with me and the wife, when we purchased our dear abode, which looks, how shall we say – “OLD-TIMEY”.

Retroculture was with me when I proposed to my dear wife, whose very old cultural roots were a bit n00by compared to some of mine, but were still old enough to guarantee retention of TIMELESS values.

I always wanted to CALL these thoughts of LONG-TERM AND PROVEN VALUE something.

RETROCULTURE is exactly what that something is.

Retroculture is, incidentally, the very idea that got Trump elected.

Really? Why?

BECAUSE WHEN PEOPLE WISH THEY COULD GO BACK TO A BETTER PAST, THE MAN WHO CAN ACTUALLY HELP THEM PULL IT OFF IS THEIR CHAMPION.

TIME TRAVEL TRUMP. Yeah. There is a REASON he seems so “timeless”. HE IS.

For those of you who REMEMBER, there was an episode of Original Star Trek called “All Our Yesterdays” – in which people on a planet facing a supernova ESCAPED INTO THE PAST.

This idea was unsettling. BUT what is quite possibly bothering you EVEN MORE right now is the EVEN MORE unsettling idea that this plot actually sounds better NOW than it did THEN.

ADMIT IT.

Let’s take a stroll……

But before we do, just a word of warning. Yeah, we know that Star Trek is filled with the usual Hollywood satanist and Illuminati symbolism, including Spock’s ears, but just keep your hat on for the duration of the ride. It’s not ALL satanic, demonic, and ugly. It’s. Just. Hollywood.

Here we go.

Kirk and the boys end up on some planet that they were thinking might need some HELP, and it turns out that everybody seems to be GONE.

Those old guys are lookin’ pretty good right there, AM I RIGHT? With age, comes discernment. You stop seeing things as “dated” and “old fashioned”, and you see past that stuff. SO……

If “old” Star Trek is lookin’ good to you now, just wait.

All our Star Trek hereoes get “accidentally or on purpose” lost in the past of this planet. Including Spock, who ends up going EXTREME RETRO. And who does he meet?

Remember Mariette Hartley? You kinda missing her right now? Think things mighta been better in Hollywood back then? This was TV, mind you.

Don’t get me started about the Westerns.

You ain’t seen nothin’. Watch this.

We weren’t racists back then. It’s a LIE.

We had INTER-SPECIES LOVE IN PRIME TIME. And I watched this as a KID with my PARENTS IN THE ROOM.

Yeah, the satanic ears probably sailed a lot of this stuff past the Hollywood creeps who would have otherwise nixed some ground-breaking sci-fi and “preppertainment”, but still – ignore for the moment. Factor it out. This wasn’t “The Gong Show”.

Lind correctly identifies the 1960s as where things started going to hell, but not without a valiant attempt to go where things SHOULD have gone – very likely under media victim Barry Goldwater.

Note how the Uhura-Kirk kiss wasn’t the only groundbreaking “civil rights” on television. How these proggies can claim we were racists back then is beyond ludicrous – it’s horsefeathers.

They LIE to us about our past, so they can drive us into THEIR vision of OUR future.

Just ONE random old TV show from the 1960s, betraying the relative innocence of America in only the EARLY Marxist takeover of Hollywood….

Ironically envisioning both PALEO PAST and RADICAL FUTURE…..

And yet it ALL seems so much more NORMAL and DESIRABLE than the INFLICTED INSANITY OF NOW.

Or maybe THIS is more your style. Hold that SCARY THOUGHT that PBS liberals might very well yearn for RETROCULTURE every bit as much as you do.

I mean, you don’t think that William “4GW” Lind would come up with an idea that wasn’t ACTUALLY dangerous to the dark side of the force, do you?

OR THIS….

https://youtu.be/_C25CwNlVjA

Note that this isn’t “real” in most senses – it’s actually a dramatization of code-breaking basics that the World War II code-breakers knew from the start. More than that, it’s also filled with PC encouragement of women to enter STEM. But THAT isn’t the point, either.

The point is that this movie, which I JUST. KEEP. USING. to demonstrate point after point about information warfare, is ULTIMATELY RETROCULTURAL, and that is why it works SO. DARN. WELL. People love retroculture because HISTORY proves its VALIDITY.

Retroculture throws all of our current chaotically ridiculous social and technical problems BACK IN TIME where they are SENSIBLE and SOLUBLE (including REJECTABLE) in a proven framework where GREATNESS WAS ACHIEVABLE.

And this brings up an important point which Lind addresses over and over, so that it gets past our ALINSKY FEARS – those fears that it’s all just some kind of “reenactment” written as large as our whole lives.

Retroculture is not mere NOSTALGIA, nor is it ABOUT nostalgia, although our current CULTURAL NOSTALGIA is indeed a SIGN that we are actually IN NEED OF retroculture.

Retroculture is something bigger and more profound.

Retroculture SOLVES PROBLEMS. And not necessarily in ways that socially damaging, urgency-foisting progressives want.

Retroculture is more about classic VALUES and LIFESTYLES than about the mere outward trappings of those times.

Retroculture is not any kind of “running away”, into the past. Retroculture is ENGAGING THE FUTURE on solid ground.

And SOME OF US on this very site may actually be a bit “ahead of the curve” on this stuff. Ya know? Look at all our own retrocultural symbolism and take comfort.

The idea of RETROCULTURE as the PROPER COURSE OF PROGRESS of America is such a BIG and profound idea, it escapes any attempt to box it in, and Lind knows this. Lind does not merely remind us that this sort of cultural re-examination and emulation of our classic past has happened before – and was GREAT for humanity – even great for HUMAN PROGRESS. Lind is actually able to make some easy yet startling predictions about what things might look like as this idea of retroculture takes over and defines the rest of this century.

You can’t read this book and not feel your head fill up with YOUR OWN IDEAS about what this means. Here is some of my thinking, inspired by Lind.

Retroculture is MOVEMENT, but it’s BIG MOVEMENT – more like a cultural paradigm shift. Political movements like MAGA and fads like steampunk fall like snowflakes within the mountain range of retroculture and the YEARNING for it, as tiny derivations and exemplars.

Retroculture is also something that I am quite sure scares the hell out of our faux “progressives” – seemingly better described as “regressives”. Why do you think our crypto-socialist social media czars, at the behest of Adam “Pencilneck” Schiff, banned the ultimately retrocultural “Natural News”?

Retroculture might actually be MORE POSITIVELY “progressive” than progressivism. This is shocking to even contemplate, but yet it seems likely. Part of retroculture’s 4GW appeal is that – no matter what liberals SAY, THEY TOO will find value in the past – and likely more than in the current, modern, incompetent, and faulty visions of progressivism.

Retroculture amounts to popular selection of principles by LIVING THEM, not just by TALKING about them. It is validation of tenets of both conservatism and liberalism which PROVE THEMSELVES WORTHY TO RETAIN – voted on BY PEOPLE with their very lives.

Retroculture is selective rejection of the present – of what things are NOT QUALIFIED to become part of our past – our LIVING, INTELLIGENT PAST.

What liberalisms DIE IN THE NOW are fads. What liberalisms are retained by THE PEOPLE are judged WORTHY and maybe someday CLASSIC, possibly enduring who knows how long.

Retroculture is the FINE SIEVE of a truly free and truly equal people which judges and chooses WISELY, not POORLY.

Retroculture is a rejection of CONTROLLING TECHNOLOGY and CONTROL BY TECHNOLOGY. It demands CONTROL OF TECHNOLOGY. It is utterly HUMAN.

Retroculture, embracing what the dishonest subset of modernists tell us must be rejected, instead REJECTS their lies, their fakery, and their deceptions, by CHOOSING what they FALSELY say is dead, and which therefore becomes alive by our mere act of CHOOSING TO LIVE IT.

Retroculture, free and selective, falsifies controlling globalism by its very existence. And yet retroculture, AWARE and never IN DENIAL, retains what powers – moral, cultural, and technical – are needed to defend itself. It’s pure and utter allegiance to TRUTH insures that it will never – can never – be destroyed. RETENTION OF TRUTH is in accordance with CREATION ITSELF.

But that’s JUST ME – running away with Lind’s amazing ideas, in my own directions. It is far more critical to simply take a look at LIND’S THINKING, which I can only begin to address here. And – as a way to share his thinking without stealing his thunder, I think his CHAPTER HEADINGS tell you everything you need to know, to understand that Lind wants you to (1) decide if retroculture is right for you, and then (2) implement a retrocultural lifestyle in the ways that are right for you.

If you are conservative, or old-fashioned in any ways, you are likely doing much of this already. However, Lind is offering you ways to UP YOUR GAME. Particularly if you’re more of a “crypto-retrocultural” like me, hiding behind modernist gimmicks which pass me off as unremarkable despite ANCIENT values. Lind challenges you to WEAR THE SIGNS and SPREAD THE FAITH.

  • Signs of Change [observations on the rise of overt retroculturalism]
  • Retroculture [defining retroculture and understanding its origins]
  • Getting Started [answering your real and basic questions about retroculture]
  • Retro-Homes [how retroculture can be happily expressed in your living space]
  • Retro-Families [how retroculture will flower in your most basic relationships]
  • Retro-Clothing [how you can brand yourself openly as part of retroculture]
  • Retro-Entertainment [how retroculture replaces the hated “fake entertainment”]
  • Retro-Manners [how retroculture changes our personal interactions and principles]
  • Retro-Travel [how your retro lifestyle can be expressed smartly in travel choices]
  • Retro-Business [how to do business according to older, more honest standards]
  • Retro-Service [how retroculture sees SERVICE as an honorable, moral, GOOD thing]
  • Retro-America [the promise that retroculture holds for America and Americans]

Now – let me go a bit beyond Lind and explain why this book is so dangerous – and how to make it even more dangerous.

If *I* was ARKTOS, the publisher, I would have about TEN versions of that cover. Why? Because everybody wants to either BE on that cover, or be ATTRACTED to the person on it.

Sure – jumping right out with that 1950’s white blonde in a dress was utter genius and a perfect thumb in the face of all that is PC, but trust me – EVERYBODY is going to want to get in on the act. RETROCULTURE lets everybody BE WHO THEY ARE WITHOUT GUILT, in beautiful and validated lifestyles that ACTUALLY WORK.

The very next cover, if I were doing it, would be some historical version of Candace Owens. Then maybe a young, swoonable Elvis Presley type. Then more. No matter what, it would show the IN YOUR FACE attractiveness of retroculture and retrosexuality to EVERYBODY.

YES – that genius cover is more than just retrocultural – it is specifically RETROSEXUAL.

This is why I admit that I’m not just a retrocultural – I’m a RETROSEXUAL. Our restrained yet artfully constructed, sexually dimorphic past – GUILTLESS in its beauty- was AWESOME. Sure – now we’ve learned not to be MEAN to well-behaved sexual minorities – but why are we demonizing NORMALCY as part of it? We were doing it right before, more or less, with just a few things that we can EASILY FIX NOW with reterocultural MANNERS (see the book).

That’s the whole POINT of retroculture. It’s not the past. It’s LIKE IT, only BETTER.

And I’m not just an activist – I’m a BACKTIVIST. I’m saying that the direction FORWARD is to ACTUALLY GO BACK. We have been DECEIVED FORWARD, so the PROPER ESCAPE from this WORLD OF MISTAKES we are in, is to simply GO BACK.

Do you see how amazingly dangerous this idea of RETROCULTURE actually is, to phony progressivism and spatially and temporally monolithic globalism? This is jumping the track to ALTERNATE HISTORY where Martin Luther King, Jr. NEVER DIED, and REFUSED – absolutely REFUSED to support racial quotas and all the other stupid stuff that the communists forced upon us.

RETROCULTURE leads to a world where all of the mistakes that were forced upon us after they killed Kennedy just plain NEVER HAPPENED.

RETROCULTURE IS TRUE REBELLION AGAINST PAST ERROR BY ADMITTING IT AND THEN GOING BACK TO FIX IT.

How could we not want this?

The truth is, WE ALREADY WANT THIS.

“Nothing can stop what’s coming.”

Look at your life. I will bet MONEY you are already adopting retrocultural memes, but are just shy about it, or even feeling a bit GUILTY.

Stop feeling guilty!

Here you go. List FIVE unfashionable, out-of-date, out-of-style, quaint, or old-fashioned things that you LOVE, timeless as they may be, but in some cases may feel that you can’t openly love them as much as you would like to love them.

Deep down – EVERYBODY LOVES THIS STUFF. EVERYBODY WANTS THIS STUFF.

They just need to embrace it guiltlessly while the cabal VAINLY tries to stop it.

The fashion and luxury industries LOVE this stuff, too. Reinventing the past with greater and greater authenticity yet adding some form of “new and shiny” polish is their DREAM COME TRUE.

Retroculture subverts all of the mistakes of the past and present – and it does so without being stupid or gullible.

NOW – we have to be ready for the commie cabal to counter with their own schtick, OR their usual criticisms. I’m sure there is some way they can gerrymander retroculture into “appropriation” of some kind, but that criticism is weak sauce – just ignore it. Humanity is too far along to worry about spreading good and classic ideas.

The greater danger, in my opinion, is a kind of faux retro that leads right back to progressive error.

To see this, you have to dig into Lind’s personal vision of Retroculture. These are not things you will assume at first have to be a part of Retroculture, but the fact is, any self-consistent version of Retroculture DOES HAVE THESE THINGS, because retroculture simplifies life, culture and technology.

Retroculture VALUES things like WALKING, and TAKING THE TROLLEY, and CONSERVING ENERGY, and BEING HEALTHY and GETTING BACK TO NATURE.

BUT HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!

One can almost envision Alexandria Ocacio-Cortez jumping up and down in her CIA white dress, biting her old-timey ruby-red lips, raising her hand excitedly, and saying “WE’VE GOT THAT!!!”

Yes, she does. But that’s not all there is to TRULY conserving retroculture. At the same time, retroculture embraces ALL of the smarter past, including HIGHER SMARTER VALUES like GETTING BACK TO GOD, and HIGHER SMARTER TECHNOLOGY for everybody when they want it – not just for a TECHNOCRATIC ELITE.

Retroculture includes the FEARLESS ADMISSION OF TIMELESS TRUTH.

So let’s be fearlessly BLUNT.

Their “Green New Deal” is really the GREEN NEW STONE AGE, ruled over by a political elite, supported by a technocratic elite, and based on LIES.

Retroculture – in America’s case – is a TRUTH-BASED RETURN TO CLASSIC VALUES ACROSS AMERICAN HISTORY AND ACROSS THE POPULACE.

THAT is a much bigger, better, and brighter thing.

You don’t think Lind and his editors put that plane in the picture for NOTHING – do you?

Of course not. SMART, MORAL retroculture is not about to get fooled ONE MORE MINUTE by shifty-eyed progressive techno-hoarding and communist privilege rationing.

Retroculture is not simply the past – it’s the FUTURE, too.

Now – you probably have a million specific questions, PROBLEMS TO POSE, and “whataboutisms” which you feel need to be addressed. LIND ADDRESSES THEM. JUST BUY THE BOOK.

The book is cheap. Eight dollars on Kindle, or nineteen dollars in paperback.

Get it, read it, and make your RETROCULTURAL PLANS.

This is not hard.
