Our mission, as God-fearing and God-loving patriots, is to defend this Constitutional Republic and to increase its greatness, in all good things and ways, by using our voices in free but courteous speech, by discussing the happenings of the world and coming to a profound understanding of those things, and by sharing and promulgating these Truths on both this platform and others.
This DELIGHTFUL DECEMBER [1224] CHRISTMAS EVE & EVE’S EVE open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA / KAG! / KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both MAGA and KAG!).
You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.
Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.
However, we have a new policy. Starting 20191110. Keep it SOMEWHAT civil.
We have a new board – actually a new SITE – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation. NOT HERE.
This board will remain a REFUGE for those who need civility, either some or all of the time.
Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.
SPEAK THE FIVE WORDS BOLDLY TO OUR PRESIDENT!
“I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!“
AND WHAT TIME IS IT?
TIME TO….
DRAIN THE SWAMP
Our movement
Is about replacing
A failed
And CORRUPT
Political establishment
With a new government controlled
By you, the American People.
Candidate Donald J. Trump
Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Let’s begin this CHRISTMAS EVE’S EVE (and some of CHRISTMAS EVE) thread with a great song just posted by Gail Combs!
This morning and afternoon – TODAY – is when you need to finish all those preparations – unless you’re going out for Chinese!
But even then, you may still need a few LAST MINUTE PRESENTS, and other things.
And what about Christmas Eve services? Anybody going? I’m actually very surprised by how MANY families I know, don’t go to church ANY other time of the year, but they ALWAYS go on Christmas Eve!
It’s good to know that people are staying connected to God with other people – even if it’s just once a year. There is a hidden BASE out there – just waiting!
Then there is CAROLING on Christmas Eve! Which may be INDOORS…..
OUTDOORS…..
On a truck in Miami in the distant past….
In a park in New York City….
Or in the same church as the one for Christmas Eve services….
And then there is the REALLY BIG QUESTION…..
Did you open DOOR 24 on your ADVENT CALENDAR???
JUST KIDDING!!!
No – the real question is this. Are you “wait and open presents on Christmas”, or are you “go ahead and open presents on Christmas Eve” in your family?
I think I may be able to convince the “WAITERS” that the “CHEATERS” ain’t such bad people with this charming video!
Because we can ALWAYS keep in mind this PSA from SANTA HIMSELF….
And trust me – I have that on Good Authority from Santa’s Air Safety Commander in Chief!
So ANYWAY, let me give you just a hint of what it’s all REALLY ABOUT…..
Coming….
SOON!
W
PS….
Gotta have some SHOUT OUTS at the end, too. They are WHY WE ARE HERE.
A Merry Christmas to Q….
A Merry Christmas to Q+ and “Q++”, the latter seen here preparing GIANT Q ORNAMENTS!
And last but not least – not by a long shot – Merry Christmas to those who are away from their friends and family, serving this nation and their countrymen – wherever they may be.
My immediate thought upon seeing this beautiful video and hearing the young boys with their sweet voices was a STORM of thoughts.
I thought – “THOSE POOR BOYS – with their soprano voices – targets for PEDOPHILES.”
I thought – “What if my Catholic friend from my youth – who looked just like one of these boys – who DIED OF AIDS – had never become an altar boy, to be seduced by pedophilic priests?”
I thought – “Why is this? Is the Catholic Church CONDEMNED to this fate? Must we just ACCEPT this horror of pedophilia in the Catholic Church? If so, that is SO demoralizing.”
I thought – “Wait a second. I had an important thought, earlier today, based on a comment by Gail Combs, citing work by Kent Clizbe.”
I thought – “YES! That’s IT! That was the word that SPRANG INTO MY MIND….”
I remembered the word: REMORALIZATION
The opposite of DEMORALIZATION
Demoralization – which has been taught to us by defector Yuri Bezmenov as being a profound principle of our enemies – their most insidious ATTACK on America.
And Yuri taught us to FIGHT BACK.
I realized that we do not even need to believe in the miraculous to believe that REMORALIZATION is possible.
And with that mere THOUGHT – I realized that it is the DEMORALIZATION ITSELF which has prevented us from seeing the obvious – that REMORALIZATION is both POSSIBLE and – if we simply pursue it – INEVITABLE – because ONLY DEMORALIZATION itself stands in the way.
Let me now take you along with the arc of my thinking from Gail’s post.
“…Lenin’s vision to bring America to its knees required penetration of the wellsprings of its civil identity, the “transmission belts” of American culture. …”
This is where Willi Muenzenberg came in.
Now Dzerzhinsky, and his staff under OMS cover would have directed the German master of influence [Willi Muenzenberg] to concentrate on the American “market.” Gumberg had made heady inroads with the diplomatic, corporate, and legislative targets in the States: he was running Raymond Robins, and was working his contacts to wriggle deeper and deeper into corporate America. [Think Al Gore’s Senior’s buddy Armand Hammer of Occidental Petroleum]
Lenin’s vision to bring America to its knees required penetration of the wellsprings of its civil identity, the “transmission belts” of American culture….…
In 1923 with Lenin slowly fading after a series of strokes, the Comintern began deploying the anti-fascist front strategy. The dying Commissar’s dream of destroying the capitalists from within was ready for deployment. Zinoviev, Radek, and Lenin likely had pegged Willi Muenzenberg as the perfect engine to run this operation for several years. It’s likely that his preparation including running commercial cover ventures, fund-raising, and Comintern work—all provided a nearly perfect cover and network to begin on of the most powerful covert action operations of all time.
Our free society also made us vulnerable to covert operations. KGB case officers and their agents had easy access to a wide range of American society. …
….The goal of the operations was to make Americans feel that their country was bad. The KGB utilized Willing Accomplices to spread the message that America was an evil, racist, imperialist war- monger and that Communism was a benign, noble experiment designed to rid the world of corruption, oppression and injustice.
Covert Influence Payload
Babette Gross, wife of KGB agent Willi Muenzenberg, explained the content of the Soviet payload to Stephen Koch:
* You claim to be an independent-minded idealist. * You don’t really understand politics, but you think the little guy is getting a lousy break. * You believe in open-mindedness. * You are shocked, frightened by what is going on right here in our own country. * You’re frightened by the racism, by the oppression of the workingman. * You think the Russians are trying a great human experiment, and you hope it works. * You believe in peace. * You yearn for international understanding. * You hate fascism. * You think the capitalist system is corrupt.
This payload exactly matches today’s PC-Progressive message. The message that Soviet covert operators propagated through American Willing Accomplices. The Willing Accomplices, wittingly or unwittingly, spread the anti-American message. And this message bloomed and grew into the pernicious set of taboos and strictures that we call PC today. It is important to note that Soviet espionage simply planted the seeds of PC. The seedlings did not need continued communist cultivation. The Soviets’ American Willing Accomplices nurtured the anti-American message in universities, newsrooms, and in Hollywood.After the payloads were planted, the vast majority of the communist intelligence operatives met the fate of most stooges of totalitarian thugs—violent death at the hands of their comrades. ….
From the book Willing Accomplices: How KGB Covert Influence Agents Created Political Correctness and Destroyed America by Kent Clizbe
While I did not benefit right then from the following VIDEO which briefly summarizes Kent Clizbe’s research, you can, and I strongly recommend taking just the short 14 minutes needed to watch it.
I now realize that I actually went through this Soviet program in the United States, in both public primary and secondary education and in universities. But I also had a ringside seat to observe the deep strategy of one of the more secret programs – a heavy-handed program of FORCING a DESIGNED NEW INEQUALITY ON AMERICA, through the CA3 operation (Conspiracy to Advance Affirmative Action) which used CIA technologies and assets against Americans.
The Soviet imperative for CA3 was most likely for a combination of reasons:
maintenance of DIVISION
maintenance of POWER over divided groups
CONTROL of America through CONTROL of groups and organizations
Getting rid of racial conflict in America never truly entered the minds of the communists who needed to MAINTAIN CONFLICT. The thing is, they never realized how much this would EXPOSE THEIR OPERATIONS in the United States, and even the WORLD – where we now understand the deeper realities of….
This is an image comparing the UN flag to a similar Soviet flag, of which there were many, some including wreath motifs, sometimes laurels, more often wheat. The image had disappeared from the original site due to changes in URLs at the source. I finally found the image on a server by diligently playing with Lepanto Institute URLS, and saved it to this site.
Beware that some of the currently most matching flags are actually NEW creations by modern communists, for a NEW Soviet Union (yes, they are that stupid and/or evil). There are also “alt-history” flags for gamers and fiction fans. Many of these images are created from the UN flag, and are thus highly matching.
As Q said, their SYMBOLS are their DOWNFALL.
SO – what can we do? Where does REMORALIZATION fit into the scheme of ACTUAL things?
First of all, we know that Bezmenov specifies PATRIOTISM and RELIGION as key ways to battle Soviet Marxism. But Clizbe (who understands even Yuri Bezmenov’s WEAKNESSES) also has recommendations.
I believe that the concept of REMORALIZATION fits into ALL OF THESE.
I believe that REMORALIZATION is a CROSS-CUTTING CONCEPT.
educating ourselves must include both moral and morale components to remoralize us and make our new education RESISTANT to recurrence of subversion and demoralization
as we look at the roots of subversive progressivism, we must make moral judgments not only of progressivism, but of ourselves, so that we do not RE-ENTER ERROR STATES that both leave us vulnerable to subversion AND vulnerable to valid moral judgment by ourselves, by God, and by everything in between. In other words, HOW we judge matters. If we judge, we MUST judge ourselves.
as we explain the ORIGINS of PC and demoralization, we must make moral judgments of CONSTRUCTIVE VALUE and even RECONSTRUCTIVE VALUE – not the DECONSTRUCTIVE values of Marxism, post-modernism, and destructive progressivism. We must ADVANCE CIVILIZATION and its VALUES through remoralization of our new historical understandings. We must avoid the SELECTIVE TRUTHS used by progressives to DEMORALIZE.
as we explain the TACTICS of PC and demoralization, we must make MORAL JUDGMENTS, both of the perpetrators AND ourselves – both with the understanding that we should have the WILL and the CONVICTION to occupy the MORAL HIGH GROUND when we are done. Remoralization of OURSELVES and our SOCIETY are stated and fully embraced goals of remoralization. STEALTHY remoralization and LAZY remoralization are both automatically suspect as TACTICAL FAILURES that are introduced into our own tactics by the other side. Remoralization must be openly admitted to be fully protective and self-consistent.
as we take back Education, Academia, the Media and Hollywood, we must insist on TRUE remoralization – not the FAUX remoralization we are seeing right now in Hollywood. This is EXTREMELY TRICKY. The other side knows how to wrap the same old poisons in things that look newly appealing and historically moral to us. Our default position should be to REJECT their offerings as suspect. TIME and PATIENCE will prove value. It may take generations to clean out these heavily infiltrated entities.
as we vote, we will be faced with complexity. Perfect must not be allowed to become the enemy of good, and yet we must be honest and forthright about both the NECESSITY and the MORAL FAILURE OF COMPROMISE. Remoralization says PICK UP THE DROPPED SPEAR and CONTINUE THE FIGHT. Honest internal criticism OF OURSELVES is a valid tool of proper remoralization. We have SEEN how Trump has corrected his critics in a myriad of ways to make them SMARTER, SHARPER, and less subject to sneaky manipulations. Yes, it is interesting how he has “loved his enemies” with a good tongue-lashing here or there, to make them BETTER at their own STATED goals.
If that sounds like a PARENT raising a BELOVED CHILD, then it’s no accident.
REMORALIZATION is something we already know – TAUGHT to us by GOD.
