I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation.
I arise today
Through the strength of Christ’s birth and His baptism,
Through the strength of His crucifixion and His burial,
Through the strength of His resurrection and His ascension,
Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of doom.
I arise today
Through the strength of the love of cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In service of archangels,
In the hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In the prayers of patriarchs,
In preachings of the apostles,
In faiths of confessors,
In innocence of virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.
I arise today
Through the strength of heaven;
Light of the sun,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of the wind,
Depth of the sea,
Stability of the earth,
Firmness of the rock.
I arise today
Through God’s strength to pilot me;
God’s might to uphold me,
God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s eye to look before me,
God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to speak for me,
God’s hand to guard me,
God’s way to lie before me,
God’s shield to protect me,
God’s hosts to save me
From snares of the devil,
From temptations of vices,
From every one who desires me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone or in a multitude.
I summon today all these powers between me and evil,
Against every cruel merciless power that opposes my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom,
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of women and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man’s body and soul.
Christ shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that reward may come to me in abundance.
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.
I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through a belief in the Threeness,
Through a confession of the Oneness
Of the Creator of creation
I had no idea that Justin Raimondo had died. I was wondering why I never saw his tweets any more. Usually it was REPLIES to famous people, sometimes as retweets, where Justin would show up in my Twitter feed. SMART, insightful, replies or retweets, taking people to task for positions that were going to get us into another Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan.
I quickly scanned down his old timeline. It has been fully taken over by the staff at AntiWar, who now bring back some of Justin’s old columns, and keep his memory alive.
One of the tweets led me to this great article.
Well worth a read. Particularly if you believe my almost unbelievable theory that Justin’s strong and unwavering support of Trump, and his influence over the “intellectual libertarian and antiwar” segment of the potential Trump bloc, was ESSENTIAL to Trump’s victory in 2016.
The first place I ever read this guy was some guest column on WorldNetDaily during the Clinton administration. Justin was a gay conservative who looked like “the Fonz” and had his own website (kind of a big deal back then) called “AntiWar.com“. Well, it wasn’t really “his” site, but he was the Freddie Mercury of AntiWar. It sometimes SEEMED like his site. And yet, it was all about ANTI-WAR – not about him.
Justin was respected by Joseph Farah of WND – and that was enough for me. I paid attention. Justin and Joseph didn’t always agree, but they both cared enough to agree or disagree with each other, outside the stifling chorus of UniParty shills who kept up the FAKE NEWS that neither one had time for.
One of Justin’s best articles – the one that I never forgot – was the one where he took the entire LGBT movement to task for calling gay “normal”. His position was utterly logical. Gays have rights like everybody else, but the reason they are a minority – and a small one at that – is because they are FAR from “normal”. To call gays “normal” was, to him, robbing the very essence of what gays were – DIFFERENT. It was not just illogical to Justin to try to “normalize” gayness – it was DISHONEST.
See why I might like this guy? BRUTAL honesty – even with himself.
But “gay” was not the big issue to Justin. It was a minor aspect of his life – a reality that he simply dealt with, and accepted as a libertarian. The big issue for Justin Raimondo was WAR. But NOT as a typical libertarian. Raimondo was – oddly – very conservative for a libertarian, more so for a gay one. Justin was also too tough to be a simple peacenik, yet he wasn’t one of those horrible “bully pacifists”, either. He considered himself a “conservative paleo-libertarian” – which I interpret as going back to the most “limited government and keep the HELL out of foreign entanglements” people of all – the FOUNDERS.
And Raimondo had that same SPUNK that the Founders did. A kind of patient and determined yet hopeful RELENTLESSNESS – a refusal to give up. In that era, he would have fought alongside my own DAR ancestor against the British. He would have simply kept his “odd affections” a secret. Well, who knows. Maybe not. But he would have been a PATRIOT either way.
And YES, the idea of an ANTI-WAR patriot is somewhat contradictory, but then, so much of this nation’s founding BRILLIANCE was contradictory – back when were had discernment, and didn’t all have to believe exactly the same things to be patriotic Americans.
Justin was very similar to Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Pat Buchanan, and other libertarians and paleo-conservatives on the idea of war. And – unlike me – he was NOT FOOLED by the Bush clan.
But after George W. Bush, Justin would make the same mistake as me – voting for Obama in 2008. I think we did it for the same reason. McCain was itching to get us into a war. We both knew it. McCain helped sell Obama – exactly as intended.
Justin was a TRUMP supporter from the beginning, too, because he remembered Trump’s stand on IRAQ. This is EXACTLY where I was, too. There were many times that I retweeted Justin in his defenses of Trump, or tried to echo his wisdom to my followers.
And Raimondo was NOT A FAN of Crooked Hillary. NOT AT ALL.
Justin was a WEE bit too automatically defensive of Russia for my taste, but he was not a dupe. I could respect him when his anti-war knee jerked in time with the Kremlin’s, because I knew it was still under his control.
There were, however, times that I strategically backed Trump on bringing neocons into his campaign or administration, which is something Justin could never stand. Justin could NEVER believe that association with John Bolton was a good idea, even merely as a spokesperson and media ally of Trump. However, Justin was a kind soul, and he simply held his tongue when I tried to convince him that it would all be OK – that Trump could handle Bolton.
The thing is, I don’t think Justin TRUSTED Trump in the same way I did, and that fact is, at its core, probably RELIGIOUS. Trump, Pence, myself, and most other Trumpers TRUST GOD TOGETHER, so we tend to TRUST EACH OTHER. That makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Justin was raised a Roman Catholic, but he later described himself as “not a believer”, per Wikipedia.
However, if one goes back to THIS article about Pope John Paul II, and gives it a read……
…..one sees a few hints that “you can take the boy out of the church, but you can’t take the church out of the boy“.
So who knows. I would love to once again have the opportunity to celebrate the amazing, glorious, common-sense and ANTI-WAR Trump administration with Justin Raimondo on some ethereal form of Twitter.
After all, they say that with God, all things are possible.
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.
Thanks to our QTreeper realsauce who posted a great Tom Petty video, Won’t Back Down, here: LINK: https://wqth.wordpress.com/2019/08/14/speech-protecting-the-red-flags/comment-page-1/#comment-230851 Suddenly I remembered one of my FAVORITE videos of all times – the one where Tom Petty understood FAKE NEWS, FAKE ENTERTAINMENT, FAKE SCIENCE and FAKE HISTORY literally DECADES before we did. Here are the original lyrics, …
Wolf, August 15, 2019
It didn’t end there. Thursday night, I thought about doing ANOTHER “audio visual” production like it, using another great song. However, I stopped myself. I knew it WASN’T ENOUGH.
Yes, it would have been powerful, but it was not going to WIN. It was not getting DEEP ENOUGH on the problem. Not deep enough to MAKE THIS MOVEMENT SUCCEED. And I believe that each of us needs to FIND WHAT IT IS that we can do to make this movement WIN and WIN BIGLY.
Maybe I’ll come back and do that musical “meme-stream” someday. But not tonight.
There is something welling up in me – a kind of urge to scream FUCK YOU at the people who have screwed up this world by TAKING what was not theirs – who used not only RIDICULE, but DECEPTION and TRICKERY to grab the steering world of this planet and drive it into a kind of ongoing TRAIN WRECK, from which, instead of accepting their own mistakes, they merely demanded MORE POWER and MORE CONTROL.
Do you know what I’m saying? What I am feeling is RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION.
This isn’t merely an intellectual argument – it’s a CULTURAL ARGUMENT – an EMOTIONAL ARGUMENT – even a SELF-CRITICAL ARGUMENT – an argument grounded in our FAILURE to engage the enemy – an enemy which mocks us from the TRASH HEAP of their own mistakes.
These people deserve FAR WORSE than what we have the RIGHT to do – which is to THROW THEIR ASSES off of their trash heap of not just mistakes, but LIES, TRICKS, and CRIMES – and FORCE THEM to help us clean it all up.
THERE. Now that I’ve GOTTEN THAT OUT – it’s time for STORK to BITCHSLAP MY ASS.
Now – I could put that in the hilarious context of the original movie, and THAT is, indeed, part of the answer.
But let’s not go there yet. Someday, perhaps, in a full post. The cultural deconstruction of Animal House over time is a great way to look at both cultural Marxism and reaction to it, as BOTH are embodied in the film. And THAT is something we need to understand. But not right now.
Tonight, I was going through replies in my notifications, and thinkthinkthink pointed out a video which is, ultimately, the whole point of this post.
This is a STILL from the video. Clicking on it won’t make it play. Nevertheless, the image is worth a closer look in zoom.
If there is NO OTHER 1-hour video that you watch this year, then I would recommend that THIS BE THE ONE.
This is possibly the SMARTEST discussion on the right since the 2016 primaries.
What you have here are two of the GREATEST intellects and culture warriors on our side not quite agreeing on things – maybe even not quite getting each other. What results is FAR, FAR BETTER than if they were just high-fiving each other in total understanding. They are trying to convince each other of two perspectives of the SAME THING, and what that paints is a STEREOSCOPIC PICTURE of a NEUTRON BOMB for WINNING THE CULTURE WAR.
What that thing is, is CORE ANDREW BREITBART. Eventually, Bannon actually brings up Breitbart, and recommends Righteous Indignation as the must-read book for this moment, and particularly for a deep understanding of cultural Marxism.
There was a film back in the day – My Dinner with Andre – that was one of those artworks you never forget. This was 1981 – three years after Animal House. The movie is just two people talking about things that have nothing to do with the setting, so you have to use your imagination to tap into the RICHNESS of what they are talking about. AND IT WORKS – in a huge way.
There is a person you never see – central to the discussion – who is like the THIRD STAR. Not exactly a new technique – both Shakespeare and Hitchcock loved it. But when the cast is this small, it has a wonderful effect. It is DEEPLY SATISFYING.
THIS video of Candace and Steve has the same effect. And what is even more wonderful, is that – along with the “stars” of this video, you get to “discover” that the je ne sais quoi they are trying to put their finger on actually IS Andrew Breitbart himself.
WE NEED ANDREW. And we need him NOW.
NOW – before I make everybody RUN AWAY in horror, thinking this video is merely some kind of “rightstream intellectual art flick bullshit“, let me confidently estimate that there are HUNDREDS of game-changing and actionable political ideas here, that will make a huge difference in winning not just 2020, but 2024 and 2028. So THIS NEEDS TO BE WATCHED. By as many people on our side as possible.
But savor it. You don’t see stuff like this every day.
It’s bizarre as hell. These two geniuses could be talking on a park bench in New York City, a dock in Florida, or a picnic table in Wyoming. The setting doesn’t matter. Yeah, the border figures into some of what they talk about, but ignore it. The TRUTH of what they’re saying – especially toward the END – is amazing.
Let me put the KILL SHOT on these “red flag laws” right up front.
Hard to read that graphic. Let’s make things just a bit more clear.
Now you MAY be saying “BUT WOLF – THAT’S NOT THE SECOND AMENDMENT – THAT’S THE *FIRST* AMENDMENT!“
To which I say “EXACTLY.“
Here is the explanation. It is, for lack of a better metaphor, how the Second Amendment and the First Amendment PEACEFULLY protect each other – by saying WWG1WGA.
Any “red flag law” that doesn’t EXPLICITLY PROTECT – better still EXCLUDE – all Constitutionally protected speech, beliefs, associations, and assembly, is not worth the paper that it’s written on.
The reason is that, absent explicit protections and exclusions, such laws may be interpreted in practice to deny citizens of their First Amendment freedoms – particularly SPEECH – by construing protected activities to be in conflict with other rights – specifically our SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
(This stuff used to be common knowledge before American crypto-Sovietism, by the way.)
This has often been referred to as a “chilling effect” – a sneaky form of infringement which is typically brought forth under the guise of laws utterly unrelated to speech, religion, or other First Amendment-protected activities. Enemies of First Amendment exercise will “hold other rights hostage” in a way that “chills” our claim to those First Amendment rights, lest we see the OTHER rights denied or potentially infringed. In almost ALL these cases, the parties backing such laws desire to infringe on BOTH freedoms, but will take either one, by constructing a FAILED law which puts them into apparent conflict.
The Constitution says NO – there IS no valid conflict, and if you are attempting to create one, even accidentally, then you are creating UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW.
Wolf Moon, Annoying Patriot, and Son of the American Revolution
SO BTFO, COMMUNISTS!
Republican lawmakers who think it necessary to have such “red flag” laws should TAKE NOTE before signing them. An ABSENCE of explicit Constitutional protections of SPEECH is, in my humble opinion, sufficient reason to veto ANY such legislation.
Our GENIUS President, Donald J. Trump, has personally given a demonstration of how this works, in a joking (well…. who knows…..) tweet. AND I QUOTE:
Would Chris Cuomo be given a Red Flag for his recent rant? Filthy language and a total loss of control. He shouldn’t be allowed to have any weapon. He’s nuts!
There you have it – the REALITY of “red flag” laws for millions of wonderful, trustworthy, but perhaps “not careful with their tongues” Americans. INCLUDING CHRIS CUOMO! Who I don’t particularly like, but whose rights to angrily argue and own a gun I will defend to the DEATH!
The responses were uniformly BRUTAL for red flag laws.
SO – let’s look at this more closely.
Is Jack Posobiec right? Are “red flag” laws unconstitutional?
In my opinion, red flag laws CAN be constitutional. But I am not even sure if ANY of the existing ones are. And THAT is scary.
Ohio is proposing a red flag law which is designed to avoid many of the pitfalls of existing red flag laws. But even the proposed Ohio law really “needs some work”, in my opinion.
First of all, red flag laws need to respect both the SECOND and FOURTH Amendments.
Here is Dick Heller, of the famous Heller case, talking to OAN about this:
The SECOND Amendment is rather obvious. The FOURTH Amendment is more concerned with warrants, seizure of property, and probable cause – all of which are made more sketchy in red flag laws, when a JUDGE has not actually reviewed the evidence with opposing counsel present. THINK FISA COURT. Gun SEIZURE without the ability to challenge it IMMEDIATELY or better still BEFOREHAND is an idea that does not sit well with this here critter.
Now WOLF MOON – who thinks SCOTUS got the “gay marriage” thing all wrong by not using the FIRST AMENDMENT to protect both gay marriage AND polygamy, is often in the habit of picking DIFFERENT Amendments to defend freedoms. This time is NO DIFFERENT.
Yes, I agree with the Second and the Fourth, but I believe that the SIXTH and the FIRST are also very important here. We’ve talked about the FIRST – what about the SIXTH?
Some people might be A-OK with the idea of just giving up their guns, not being arrested, and arguing about it all later, but NOT THIS HERE WOLF.
“I WANT AN ARRESS!”
In fact. to be completely clear, I want an arrest, and a hearing with MY LAWYER and a JUDGE, and I want it BEFORE my guns are taken. This gives me my MAXIMUM rights under BOTH the Fourth and the Sixth Amendments.
Trust me – THIS OPTION is the most Constitutional of all. I will have WAIVED NO RIGHTS in picking this option.
SO – let me summarize. In my opinion, a potentially Constitutional red flag law must:
not take away my stringently guaranteed 2nd Amendment rights without due cause
respect the due processes of the 4th Amendment in a HUGE and optimal way
explicitly guarantee my FULL 1st Amendment rights, NEVER using protected speech, beliefs, or activities in any fashion to take away my 2nd Amendment rights
better still, EXPLICITLY EXCLUDE all 1st Amendment protected things, including speech, writings, religion, beliefs, assembly, associations, and memberships
allow arrest without seizure and a prompt hearing with legal representation, for MAXIMUM 4th and 6th Amendment rights
include strong deterrents for abuse in BOTH criminal AND civil law
Are you starting to see how much difference current red flag laws have from this ideal, with the ideal probably passing review by SCOTUS, and current laws actually being somewhat doubtful?
I’m kinda thinking Jack Posobiec is right.
NOW – let’s look at an example. This will demonstrate both the Constitutional requirements AND how SAFE a properly constructed “red flag” law could actually be – if enforced HONESTLY by HONEST law enforcement, including an HONEST FBI (cough, cough, COUGH, COUGH).
I have a person who believes in a CRAZY RELIGION. The crazy religion says that in order to go to heaven, one has to defend the religion violently against all non-believers, cutting off their heads. This person goes online and AGREES WITH ALL THIS, repeats it, and argues vociferously and ANGRILY for it, because he is a MUSLIM.
But in real life, he’s a nice guy, and has never even struck anybody.
Sorry – according to WOLF’S version of a CONSTITUTIONAL red flag law, this guy cannot even be “red-flagged”, and if anybody tries it, Peaceful Angry Muslim has grounds to SUE.
Like it or not, what YOU consider “crazy beliefs” are PROTECTED by the First Amendment.
Even VIOLENT BELIEFS are protected by the First Amendment.
EVEN HATE SPEECH and ANGRY SPEECH are protected by the First Amendment.
Even HATE GROUP ASSOCIATIONS and MEMBERSHIPS are protected by the First Amendment.
EVEN CRAZY SPEECH AND BELIEFS ARE PROTECTED BY THE FIRST AMENDMENT.
Violent actions are NOT protected.
So Violent-Talking Angry Muslim who never hurts anybody gets his gun.
Are we done yet? Can we still SAFELY have “red flag” laws with all these Constitutional protections and restraints?
Sadly, the answer is NO.
No, because the HOLDER/MUELLER/LYNCH/COMEY FBI – still politicized as hell, is DESPERATELY pushing for those unconstitutional, Nazi-style laws of the LEFT…..
Check out this FBI political move against 1A/2A in Ohio. Bust a kid in mom's basement for ranting about Waco (as in, protected speech), and then count MOM and DAD'S GUNS and AMMO in the "horrifying" numbers.
Here is the article. I URGE YOU TO READ IT – especially between the lines. You will see how this is 99% propaganda of the moment. Digging up old posts to push for NAZI gun laws.
They took this kid’s PARENTS’ GUNS to spice up the numbers, took his posts to paint him as a danger, and DESPERATELY tried to create a SECOND PUNCH after DUBIOUS DAYTON.
Only – well – it’s kind of a FAIL.
This is exactly the political stuff that the now-ruined CLINTON-OBAMA FBI pulled on President Trump. So do you know what I think now?
I think there is excellent reason to believe that the HOLDER FBI has been pulling ALL of these sketchy gun-ban propaganda mass shootings. The only difference here is that they’re running low on “MK specials” who can be manipulated into pulling off their shit. So they’re resorting to backing up their DAYTON SATAN mass shooter with a KID who – wonder of wonders – lives in the same state.
SAD, SAD, SAD.
This is why red flag laws are communist bullshit. They are not only of sketchy probable FBI / Deep State origin and definite FBI propaganda backing – they are simply TOO ABUSABLE.
Sorry – even if I saw a red flag law that EXCEEDED my recommendations here, I tend to believe that it would STILL BE ABUSED by political elements in the FBI.
If you’re not familiar with “red flag” laws, then you had best get there quickly. This new attack on the Second Amendment is actually WAY WORSE than any previous one, and constitutes what may be the most cunning attack on the CORE values of America EVER. The more I have learned about these laws, and analyzed them beyond that, the more alarmed I have become.

FYI in Australia we have no right to firearms, need licenses, gun safes bolted to the floor and wall, ammo stored in seperate compartments, regular check-ups by state agencies etc and “red flag laws” have always been a thing here.
A colleague of mine had his firearms confiscated by the state after attending a rally against immigration policy. He took the state to court and after several months won his case and was able to recover his firearms, only to have the state then cancel his firearms license on a separate technicality, related to his “unsuitable character”.
Another colleague who was a regular attendee at political rallies has had his property raided by police at least three times in the past eighteen months, police claim to be “searching for illegal firearms”. They never find any and have no reason to believe they will, officers carrying out the raids have verbally apologised to him after each search, informing him that they’re just following orders.
Another man I know was gun pointed inside his own home by police after getting involved in a brief fist-fight with Antifa, after trying to attend the Milo event in Melbourne’s North. His wife and children watched their father cuffed at gun point inside his own house, before being taken to the police station to be questioned, then charged with “affray” –But the charge was later dropped.
This is what “red-flag laws” will get you in America. Regardless of the noble excuses the state and its pawns will make, this is how these laws are actually used in practice.
At first, I was only gathering and looking at OTHER PEOPLE’S concerns. But then I started thinking about things on my own. I started putting FACTS together. I started asking what the EFFECTS of red flag laws – already known in Australia – would be on America.
I suddenly realized what is going on.
El Paso and Dayton are not merely about this election. They are about REVERSING THE TRUMP PHENOMENON for good. They are about UNDOING the “Q” movement. They are about restoring the FAKE NEWS. They are about SAVING GLOBALISM and DESTROYING AMERICANISM. And AMERICA.
And yet, it almost seems like we’re sleepwalking right into these damn things.
So here you go. THIS is what these SICK laws are actually all about.
10. Red flag laws make SPEECH a RISK.
This was a profound realization – that RED FLAG LAWS CHILL FREE SPEECH FOR GUN OWNERS. Almost all of whom support TRUMP, by the way. Real “coincidence” there.
Gun owners CANNOT afford to “take chances” and “say the wrong thing”.
Think about what I just said. Think how ORWELLIAN that is.
What this means, then, is that Red Flag laws are in fact a profound attack on the FIRST Amendment, disguised as an attack on the SECOND Amendment.
They create an ARTIFICIAL CONTRADICTION between the FIRST and SECOND Amendments.
They conflate speech and violence on LEFTIST IDEOLOGICAL TERMS – using leftist minds as judges – just like Vysotsky’s Soviet ANTIFA does. Just like ANTIFA was DESIGNED to do.
ANTIFA, filled with boys who call themselves girls, and girls who call themselves boys, who says speech is violence, and violence is speech.
This is sneaky as hell. Frankly, I cannot imagine that even a cunning POS like Cryin’ Chuck, or a shifty old witch like CHI-FI, could think this stuff up.
Let me put it this way. If it wan’t CHINA that came up with red flag, it was probably ALIENS.
Pencil-necks. You know what I’m saying. THESE GUYS.
SCHIFF TEE PHONE HOME
9. Red flag laws turn neighbor against neighbor.
Again, this is incredibly insidious. Of course, COMMUNISTS and NAZIS love to DIVIDE people, but Americans? HOLY MOLY. I want to get along with my liberal neighbors. All this is going to do is generate suspicions and recriminations.
Yes, the COMMUNISTS who have taken over the Democrat party probably want MORE DIVISION, but that is the OPPOSITE of what Trump wants.
So why should we do it? As TRUMP supporters, we don’t WANT more division and suspicion.
8. Anonymous reporting makes political abuse a certainty.
Being able to CONFRONT ONE’S ACCUSER is a CORNERSTONE of our Constitutional rights. This is the SIXTH Amendment. This is the heart of DUE PROCESS.
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Sixth Amendment
This ability to confront accusers, before FINAL ACTION is taken, serves to LIMIT the power of anonymous accusations or suspicions. People cannot “get what they want” by an accusation without DEFENDING IT FIRST in a courtroom.
At least, that was the way it was SUPPOSED to work.
SIDEBAR: Note that there is an opposite problem, when the media and FBI only work for one party, in that anonymous PUBLIC accusations are the only recourse – WHISTLE-BLOWING, basically.
Yes, we have something called “anonymous tips”. But in that case, police are required to investigate and THEN decide based upon their OWN investigation if there is REASONABLE CAUSE to take action. With “red flag” laws, police are compelled to act BEFORE there is even proof of a crime. Unproven accusations are usable to CONFISCATE ARMS – the FINAL ACTION of the process. THIS IS BACKWARDS LOGIC.
This is COMMUNIST and POLITICAL.
Once again, Communists are up to their FAVORITE TRICK – the politicization of processes. Just like the Communists now running the Democrat Party politicized the DOJ and FBI, now they want to politicize local policing. They did this with their “Promise Program” that destroyed due process in Parkland, and now they want to “go big” with destruction of due process, by taking the concept nationally, using “red flag”.
There is excellent reason to believe that POLITICAL OPERATIVES will use red flag laws to harass their enemies – meaning US. We have already seen incidents of this – the SWATTING of innocent people – in states and nations that have these laws. Australia is particularly bad.
I actually have personal experience with this. I had forgotten all about it, until today.
During the 2016 Trump campaign, I was falsely accused of illegal gun carry in a felony zone by anonymous Trump opponents. This was something of a mild “swatting”, and I was very fortunate, because the police didn’t believe the complaint (which I then proved was a lie). Since then, there have been TWO entrapment attempts on me, quite possibly orchestrated by federal agents of some kind.
Political harassment using law enforcement is REAL and very dangerous.
Wolf Moon
SO – do I personally believe that “red flag” laws will be abused? ABSOLUTELY. And I predict with CERTAINTY that they will be abused against ME, if passed in my state, or nationally.
I repeat – 100% certain that they will be used against me, because of this blog.
7. Solving rifle murders before illegal alien murders is illogical.
Just look at this graph.
This shows the power of the FAKE NEWS to distort the world in favor of DEMOCRAT GOALS.
The YUGE bar on the left is murders by illegal aliens.
The thin sliver on the right is murders by rifles. ALL of them.
Red flag laws will only solve a FRACTION of the deaths by rifles, on the right.
But now let’s consider theoretical “green flag” laws, which would treat illegal aliens like gun owners. We would deport the illegal aliens, based on anonymous tips, without THEIR due process rights. They would then be vetted like gun owners, and – if “safe”, they would be let back into the United States. Even as illegals, but safe ones, we would let them back in. ALL the safe ones. Who knows – maybe MOST of them would come back in. But no matter how many, let’s presume that we only let the safe ones back in. The murderers DON’T get back in.
This theoretically solves ALL of the murders on the left.
ALL OF THEM.
So why aren’t we pursuing GREEN FLAG LAWS FIRST?
Maybe because Democrat Communists don’t WANT us to solve the bigger problem. Maybe because THEIR biggest problem is actually TRUMP VOTERS – and not murders using rifles OR murders by illegals.
6. Red flag laws deprive us of the rights we are due upon arrest.
This is subtle, but it is YUGE. I mean it – this is a BIGGIE.
This is why, if there is ever a national “red flag” law, I believe that it MUST have a “voluntary arrest option“, that GIVES ME MY FULL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS *BEFORE* TAKING MY GUNS.
In fact, the ONLY red flag law that I believe will ultimately pass muster with SCOTUS, is one that allows the accused the option to say “You can detain ME, but you cannot take my guns. Not until I have seen a judge with my lawyer present.” At that point, the police enter the person into NORMAL processing, which brings the accused before a judge in a timely manner, and ALL NORMAL RIGHTS ARE GRANTED. This path is almost guaranteed to be fully Constitutional. And the DEMOCRATS are undoubtedly going to hate it, because it will turn the tables on these damnable laws, ending their abuse SWIFTLY in a flurry of expensive lawsuits against both accusers and the state.
Once your guns are taken, they are lost in the system. Once your guns are taken, the communists have control. Once you LET your guns be taken, you have WAIVED YOUR RIGHTS. We have to make these laws ACKNOWLEDGE that the SEIZURE OF ARMS is unconstitutional, but that the accused can ONLY FREELY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS to let it happen.
OR NOT.
And if we DON’T waive our rights, then we must be granted ALL THE RIGHTS TO WHICH WE ARE ENTITLED. Otherwise known as DUE PROCESS.
Are you with me?
What I am doing is PLAYING ALONG WITH RED FLAG TO SHOVE THE POISON PILL OF DUE PROCESS DOWN ITS ERIC HOLDER CHINA DRAGON THROAT.
When we walk away with a traffic ticket, instead of being arrested, we are WAIVING OUR RIGHTS. When we pay our ticket by phone or on the internet, we are WAIVING OUR RIGHTS. And when we allow unconstitutional confiscation as a CONVENIENCE to all parties, we are WAIVING OUR RIGHTS. Everybody needs to recognize this.
Arrest in America is NOTHING LIKE arrest in China. Arrest gives us STANDING.
“I want an arress!” – speaking of our OWN arrest – may be the single most important way to STOP DEAD the communist goals of red flag laws.
What I am saying is that we need to view this BACKWARDS from the unconstitutional reasoning of the communists. We need to add an ARREST OPTION, so that red flag laws – if these horrifying things ever pass – are just as Constitutional as a traffic ticket. We need to view the immediate collection of arms without arrest as WAIVING ONE’S RIGHTS TO BOTH KEEPING THE ARMS AND ASSUMING THE RIGHTS OF THE ARRESTED.
And beyond this, THE RIGHT OF WAIVER IS THE GREATEST RIGHT OF ALL.
The right to CHOOSE to waive or not waive our rights is the ULTIMATE RIGHT. We cannot give this up, and yet most red flag laws STEAL THIS FROM US, by giving us NO OPTION to be peacefully arrested IN LIEU OF taking our guns.
The rights of the arrested – and particularly the FALSELY ARRESTED – are a GIANT HAMMER with which we can batter both RED FLAG and OUR ACCUSERS.
We must NEVER waive our rights to KEEP OUR GUNS, nor all the other rights which we are guaranteed by the Constitution.
EVER. Others may, but not this WOLF. “I WANT AN ARRESS!’
[NOTE: What I am really talking about is being “detained”, but same diff. Buckle up – it will feel every bit like an arrest. But if it’s a bad rap, you will be out QUICKLY and WITH YOUR GUNS.]
5. Red flag laws corrupt the role of the police.
This is very typical of communists. In the same way that Communists LOVE to change the ROLES and POWERS of the primary branches of the FEDERAL government, so too they love to change the roles and powers of STATE and LOCAL government.
In PORTLAND, they make the police STAND DOWN to “protect” the POLICE and not the PEOPLE.
In LOS ANGELES, they make the health department STAND DOWN to “protect” the “rights” of the homeless and not their health.
And in sanctuary cities around the nation, they make EVERYBODY stand down to protect non-citizen criminals, and not law-abiding citizens.
But conversely, communists may make police STAND UP in roles that are not actually theirs.
What communists are doing here, is making police act as “judge, jury, and executioner”, by confiscating arms before there is any proof to a DUE PROCESS that there is justification for doing so.
This is a corruption of the role of the police. This is JUST LIKE the way that communists under Obama corrupted the military and NASA, abusing their purposes instead of simply closing them down, which would be too obvious.
Worse still, this corruption leads to the NEXT problem with “red flag” laws.
4. Red flag drives a wedge between police and gun owners.
Red flag laws will not only drive a wedge between citizens and police – THEY ARE DESIGNED TO DO EXACTLY THAT.
Why? Because BOTH law enforcement AND gun owners support Trump. Because law enforcement AND gun owners typically RESPECT each other.
Red flag laws are designed to WEAKEN the bonds of respect between law enforcement and gun owners.
Red flag laws are designed to cause DIVISION between Trump supporters.
Sneaky, isn’t it?
3. Red flag laws drive a wedge between police and veterans.
Veterans will be particularly hard-hit by accusations of “unworthiness” due to the Democrat “false offering” of PTSD. Communists in the Democrat Party offered and promoted PTSD self-categorization to veterans PRECISELY so that they could eventually have their guns taken away. It was a long-term, patient plan, but it worked like crazy, and it is coming to fruition now.
I’m not saying PTSD isn’t real. Trust me. I know it’s real. But HOW that reality is integrated into society is what we are talking about. The PTSD category can be ABUSED.
MUCH propaganda has been deployed here. Watching it has been very educational.
The fact is, political leveraging of PTSD by gun-grabbing communists will create suspicions between veterans and police. Obama and Eric Holder could not be happier about this result.
And this leads to my next reason.
2. Red flag drives a wedge between doctors and patients.
Patients are already NOT being honest with their doctors about their medical status and gun ownership because of Obamacare and its sneaky socialist spying and judging. But you haven’t seen anything yet.
Under red flag laws, doctors will basically become “the enemy”. They, and their nurses and assistants, will be deprived of any information that could possibly result in a red flag complaint – once people realize that their information is not safe.
Trust me – HIPAA is BULLSHIT that is completely orthogonal to what Deep State needs to target patriots. Deep State can work around it in a heartbeat. How do I know this?
It’s DROP TIME.
I caught my doctor being used in a test run of a deep state scam against gun owners. I believe that my doctor was INNOCENT in the process – I believe they were deceived and USED. But I had some WARNING on what would happen, and was completely ready for the various steps of the process. It all happened like clockwork, exactly as predicted. It was a very beautiful scam, and will work against almost any patriot.
The key step is something that is outside of the “fake science” we are allowed to know, but that I know because of my unique background and some basic theoretical reasoning. It’s nothing “woo-woo” – it’s just been suppressed by Fake News. It’s horrifyingly real, but we were allowed to be “Eloi” for the “Morlocks”.
And the WORST PART is that this scam will sync right up with red flag laws, as I expect they are supposed to work, if we allow them to pass.
I’m not ready to go public with the details, but – well – let’s just leave it at that. I have hinted about it before, and the White Hats “have it all”. Maybe somebody else will drop the full bomb. That might cause a wee bit of scrambling, so I leave that choice to higher powers.
Fun times.
And now, the most insidious of all.
1. Red flag is designed to push Trump’s voters off social media.
This is perhaps the most profound realization I’ve had so far.
This goes straight to interfering in the 2020 election. And every election after that.
It’s bad enough that free speech is going to be stifled in real life by red flag laws. But social media? Our ONE WAY of working around the Fake News? Gun owners will FLEE.
“CHYYYNNA” knows this. They know this will kill Trump’s support online.
Which brings me to the last, EXTRA, and final reason red flag laws are a bad idea.
0. Red flag is a key part of China’s conquest of the Pacific.
By neutralizing America in the same way that they neutralized New Zealand and Australia – taking away the speech of its enemies – China will become the dominant force in the Pacific first, and the World later. Censorship of opposing viewpoints through gun laws was a way to take down opposition without firing a shot. China leveraged GUNS against SPEECH and it worked.
EL PASO AND DAYTON. All related materials. Gun Control. Red Flag. Whatever.
Please feel free to REPEAT and UPDATE information from earlier threads.
BRING YOUR BEST.
Anything that proves why the FBI needs to be SAND-BLASTED WITH THE ASTEROID BELT, and the SOCIALISTS need to be chased out of Ohio with HILLARY’S BROOM.
I want to consolidate all our links, visual evidence, analysis, and reasoning.
BURN THE DIRTY FEEBS and their SOCIALIST MASTERS TO THE GROUND.
More calmly, this. It is IMPERATIVE that these incidents be made so toxic that Dems get bad dreams if they just HEAR the words “Red Flag”.
Will Red Flag laws work on SOCIALIST SHOOTERS?
Will Red Flag laws work on OHIO SATANISTS?
Will Red Flag laws work if FBI is still ABUSING INFORMANTS FOR POLITICAL DRAMA?
How Cabal “Third Wave” Feminism Became the Joke That It Is
In an effort to either prove or disprove whether Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll is or is not in fact a descendant of infamous Alice In Wonderland author Lewis Carroll, I came to a profound realization.
First, I made an observation:
The death of sensible feminism roughly tracks the merger of communism and the KKK in the Democrat Party.
Wolf Moon
OK. That’s pretty weird. Correlation is not causation, but still. As you are about to see, examination of the LIFE AND TIMES of E. Jean Carroll pretty much spells out the death of feminism, and gives us INSIGHT into why. I will explain.
Without having yet given you that explanation, I am led to an honest assessment of what happened:
When American feminism became a tool of both communism and corporatism, and no longer had ties to authentic American populism, and in particular any ties to popular conservatism, it became ridiculous, and was ultimately destroyed, reaching its most utter final insanity when MEN actually got to CLAIM they were WOMEN and then BOSS ACTUAL WOMEN AROUND.
Wolf Moon
However, one might not agree with all the details, or my “villains”, so let me BACK OFF and make a smaller, more damning, and more USEFUL weapon – a weapon with which honest thinkers can find THEIR OWN boogeymen (and boogeywomen) who were undoubtedly involved in the take-down of REAL feminism.
Real feminism was killed by making it become ridiculous.
Wolf Moon
I should probably give my thanks for being able to SEE this stuff, to one of the last real feminists out there – Tammy Bruce. She is one of the FEW who refused to get on the CRAZY TRAIN.
With that, let me start over. I will try to go quickly, so that I actually publish this damn thing, and don’t just let it sit in the “Drafts” bin forever.
Here is the discussion that got me started. It had to do with THIS POST by our wonderful Wheatie:
Wow. That frigging white rabbit crap is everywhere. Wasn’t the author of Alice in Wonderland a perv? The cabal took up his character and laughed at the rest of us.
Well, that is where Wolford T. Snopes, Yours Truly, always steps in to see if these things REALLY ARE TRUE. I love to VALIDATE THE DIAPER, so to speak, because it makes me a smarter and craftier “diaper hunter” – be I searching for RED DIAPER or other kinds of BLOODLINES.
Well, let’s just say that “I ain’t Aubergine”, but I am Wolf, and Wolf always gets sidetracked by BIG DEALS like the destruction of modern feminism.
Now you may think I have no right to concern myself with feminism, but Twitter actually thinks I’m a woman, aged 45-55, so BACK OFF, BITCHES!
E. Jean Carroll has something in common with her famous uncle, Louis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland. They both have an affinity to write fiction.
David J. Harris, Jr., “404ed” article on E. Jean Carroll
However, when we follow the link to the source:
THAT is when something struck me.
This situation seems very similar to another one, where a citizen Twitter pundit (don’t remember who – not important) referred to Jussie Smollett as Kamala Harris’s “nephew”, which led to all kinds of problems when people attempted to follow up on that alleged factoid.
Suddenly, I came up with a very nice theory. These are just sarcastic figures of speech, being used somewhat dangerously, and thereby being misinterpreted as FACT.
Oh, the learning curve of citizen journalism! Yes, we are the news now, but we are running into all the same old problems.
BOOM. Small, somewhat embarrassing “boom”. Break out the tiny kettle drum. And when people overreact, it’s time to RETRACT. Ah, yes – such is life. SO – barring a big find of a direct relationship, I’m calling this one “probably not true”.
And PART of the reason that I just ended my search RIGHT THERE, was what happened next.
REVELATION.
Go back to the SECOND linked item in that screenshot. which leads to THIS article:
Read the article. It’s short, but it makes an extra profound point in spite of its own profound self.
The article takes a very sound point of view – conservative skepticism – as opposed to a much more ridiculous “believe the woman” stance. The scatterbrained logic of this lady throws all of her stuff, and particularly her accusation against President Trump, into the state of WTF. Everything becomes DOUBTFUL – as it should have been all along.
HOWEVER – and this is a BIG WOLF HOWEVER….
Instead of simply REJECTING IT ALL AS NUTS, what I did was to BOTH BELIEVE AND NOT BELIEVE. I tried some “AND logic”. In doing so, my mind was blown by a much larger realization.
The ridiculous nature of this woman is matched by the ridiculous nature of what is supposed to undermine her credibility. Therein lies the contradiction, and the nature of what she is – a WEAPON OF RIDICULE.
Stated even more shockingly….
E. Jean Carroll’s true purpose, of which she is totally unaware, is to undermine real feminism. And a whole lot more.
Allow me to explain.
What I found most striking and damning is that this woman was ultimately “not believed” because she was HONEST about the uncomfortable reality of female rape fantasies.
Think about exactly what that means.
She was not SUPPOSED to speak that truth, in order to retain credibility.
Think about that! Do you see what I’m saying there? At the core of logic itself, that is BIZARRE AS HELL.
But then I thought about it some more. The whole thing was too pat. More than that, it was ridiculous. There we have “CIA Jake” Tapper – he of the eye-roll-inducing, needs-to-be-patented, “Jake furrowed brow” – “rescuing” Trump from a crazy woman who dares to speak SOME TRUTH and other schizoid fantasies.
And THAT’S when the CIA PSYCHOLOGY hit me hard, bro.
What this is, in reality, is PROGRAMMING OF CONSERVATIVES to ACCEPT AN UNREALITY that the KGB wing of the CIA wants to MAKE MANIFEST IN US.
Even worse, it’s like TRADING one lie for another.
It’s bizarre, but I’m sure it’s true. They use our LOVE OF TRUMP as the fulcrum for the leverage.
Here is how it works. We are supposed to be psychologically relieved about the “offered truth” that “women don’t [ever] have rape fantasies” (or that such things are “crazy”) in exchange for media absolution of Trump – and this is offered as a way for us to “protect” Trump. We are supposed to “assent” subconsciously to the “new leftist truth”.
See how this shit works? The left uses a HOSTAGE TRUTH to make us depart from REALITY on something else.
Very Orwellian. Very.
And I should make an aside about the CIA – that our Dear President Trump may need to thwart [ any constitutionally illegal “legislation” [ which protects ILLEGAL DOMESTIC CIA OPERATIONS [ by making it illegal to reveal ILLEGAL DOMESTIC CIA OPERATIVES ] ] ] by using the power of his VETO.
I know that’s a lot of “illegals” for one thought, but consider that we just got a lesson in illegal CIA domestic operations COMING IN from their work OUTSIDE. It simply IS complicated.
You know what kind of operatives they are trying to protect. GOONS like that FUCKHEAD Stefan “Stef” Halper, who helped IMPEACH one Republican President (Nixon), helped CRIPPLE another (Reagan), and ultimately FAILED in taking down Trump.
[And speaking of Reagan, what are the odds that the TREASONOUS HALPER WING of the CIA was behind the intelligence leak that resulted in the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon? I’d say PRETTY FUCKING HIGH. But I digress. That’s somebody else’s crime to solve.]
No – we have to REJECT any legislation that would have PROTECTED THE BLACK HATS.
We need legislation that ONLY PROTECTS WHITE HATS.
OK. Back to “Crazy Semi-Truthful Jean”, and why this article got the title that it did.
For starters, take a look at this woman’s WEIRD history, even in Cabal-approved Wikipedia.
Her association with CIA stomping grounds “Hollyweird” in general and “Playboy” in particular (she being a former “bunny” – COUGH, COUGH, WHITE RABBIT COUGH) comes racing out like Stefan Halper in a bathrobe. You CANNOT unsee it.
But wait – it gets better.
The only apparent VALID and OBVIOUS links between E. Jean Carroll and Lewis Carroll is when the latter name is associated with her BLUE DOG.
I am not making this up. OK, the dog is not ALWAYS blue, because it’s a dye job. But still.
The video starts with Carroll saying that she likes to get up around noon to stagger outside out her door and throw up her arms to thank God that she doesn’t have children. Throughout the video you get a look inside her eclectic home that she has aptly named “The Mouse House” as some very “distinguished mice” (who she has named) live there with her. You get a look at her poodle, Lewis Carroll, whose fur she has dyed blue along with her blue polka-dotted Toyota Prius.
She lives in a cabin she calls “the Mouse House,” surrounded by trees with trunks she’s painted a striking shade of pale blue. When she embarks on her road trip, in a Prius named Miss Bingley, she leaves behind her cat, Vagina T. Fireball, but takes her now-departed standard poodle, Lewis Carroll, whose pompadour was also dyed blue.
There is more mainstream coverage of this gal, and the mainstream “journalists” hide nothing that this woman makes obvious in a floor-length mink coat of societal chaff designed to say “I’m crazy, look at me!”
Everything I’m seeing tells me that this woman is a useful social pawn, in neither white nor black, but rather a combination of day-glo pink and blue.
She’s a “CHANGE-BOT” who doesn’t actually lead to any kinds of useful change, from our point of view. Follow that angle, and everything the Cabal makes her do, makes sense.
But wait – there’s MOAR. We forgot all about the REAL Lewis Carroll. We were distracted by the bullshit of his niece. Or whatever.
….from which the above video was taken. There are MANY more amazing links there, to many awesome articles, which provide much insight into the guy. It even finishes with a connection to the Lolita Express.
There is also THIS LINK – a bit more obscure, but worth a look.
In my opinion, it’s CONTROL. WE are the ones who seek a logical corpus of world thought – not only consistent with itself, but consistent with the universe at large – with REASON PER SE. What they are doing makes little sense, and that is, in my opinion, because CHAOS IS THE GOAL.
It is, ultimately, “satanic” in the broadest possible sense, whereby even a rational atheist can agree if we define terms. They want CONTROL, and they will use CHAOS to get it. Pedophilia, deeply flawed socialism, satanism, lies of every kind – they ALL WORK TOWARD THE SAME GOAL. CHAOS. DESTRUCTION OF HUMANITY, and they get to enjoy the ride.
Now – I want to finish up with what SEEMS like an unrelated bit of news, but this is actually KEY in understanding HOW the Soviet Fake News hopes to make our VSG once again subject to their absolute bullshit. Their FAKE FEMINISM and FAKE RACISM are deeply tied to all their bullshit mind control.
Hopefully you’ve been following all of the news roundups from our dear FLEP, which should have you convinced that our VSGPOTUS is making DEVASTATING inroads into the Democrat party’s protected turf (read “voting bloc”) of “black America”.
With that in mind – here is a perfect example of how the bogus ideas of “intersectionality” are being leveraged to try to STOP HIM.
I mean REALLY. Can you believe this crap?
The irredeemable fake news – which I believe watches this blog carefully – and is making extraordinary efforts to take us down – is trying to do ANYTHING to stop FREE SPEECH and HEALTHY DEBATE.
Because WE have the Free Speech and healthy debate that DESTROY their narratives.
SO – when the LADIES HERE – and don’t even stop to think about all those ladies on Twitter, including Diamond and Silk (shadowbanned as they are) – who are now TALKING ABOUT RACE BOTH “IN” AND “OUT OF THEIR LANES” (and oh yeah, remember the Ayanna Pressley BOGOSITY on THAT subject)…… HEAR ME, PEOPLE….. when those ladies start actually DEBATING and SOLVING PROBLEMS – what in the heck is FAKE NEWS going to do?
GASLIGHTING!
I mean, let me be clear.
Fake News – you are FUCKED and you know it. Free Speech has no intention of shutting up. The SANE AMERICAN WOMEN who you have not yet polluted with your toxic shit are not about to shut up. You can throw your gaslight bullshit headlines at us all day, but we are not going to shut up. Your credibility is GONE. Your psychological weaponization horse manure power of PSYCHOBABBLE is GONE – gone and departed for PSYCHOBABYLON!
Are you hearing me, Fake News?
WE ALL BE TALKIN’ NOW, SO YOU JUST BTFO AND GET OUT OF OUR WAY.
Fake News – we are fixing this shit, and sending you the bill.
Stay in your own fucking lane.

This (Q+2)TH OF JULY / FREE SPEECH FRIDAY 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!).
(We’re celebrating KAG! AGAIN tonight with our VSG!)
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.
Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.
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.
SAY IT LOUD, AND SAY IT PROUD!
“MR. 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.
LOOK! Dangerous vegetables that require CENSORSHIP!!!
There might be MISINFORMATION!!!
I’m sorry, but I can stand these COMMUNISTS of “whatever” race they are – typically pasty white hipster dweebs – which somehow makes ME a “white supremacist” for calling these damned communists communists, but…..
OH, JUST FUCK YOU, COMMUNISTS!
The banning of Health Ranger and Natural News will forever condemn these communists in tech to the NAZI CORNER of the history books. PROG NAZIS right now are very nearly as bad as the early German Nazis, who had not yet taken control of the German press, but were already inhibiting free speech in Germany. ANTIFA is their beginner street thugs, just like the KPD thugs in pre-Hitler Germany, who ginned up and fought with the brownshirts.
COMMIES VS. NAZIS is like ALIEN VS. PREDATOR. Whoever wins, WE LOSE.
You want to know who is behind this stuff? ADAM SCHIFF.
What a sick little pile of excrement, and I hope he ROTS IN GITMO.
The trouble is, this guy simply sent the signal that the DEEP STATE TECH was waiting for:
Talk about a cynical poll. People like ME who care about FREE SPEECH also care about DISINFORMATION, so we are part of that cynical 77% which is then applied to MY SPEECH, not THEIRS.
See how that works? It’s EVIL.
Consequently, you can bet that I have moved AWAY from Firefox, which can no longer be trusted.
And notice that these censorious hipsters are even helping with the “deepfakes” evasion by the pedos and Clinton-Obama CRIMINALS.
WHATEVER.
Move to BRAVE.
Or move to the FORK of Brave by GAB, called DISSENTER.
WHATEVER. We will work around the ERROR that is censorship.

Q posted today – in preparation for the Qth of July – and I thought it was worth covering, because a great thought really struck me from these posts.
This president would love nothing more than to divide our country based on race, religion, gender, orientation, ability, or immigration status. This is the only way he thinks he can prevent the solidarity of working people.
What happens when the ‘controlled’ are told to create a new false ‘racist’ narrative [disinformation campaign]?
Do the ‘SHEEP’ follow?
Think for yourself.
SEE truth.

Q Post 3437
Take a look at Islamist agent Omar’s words:
This president would love nothing more than to divide our country based on race, religion, gender, orientation, ability, or immigration status. This is the only way he thinks he can prevent the solidarity of working people.
We’re not falling for it.
Ilhan Omar, July 16, 2019
What I find remarkable here is that these two women standing here, in the video in this tweet by Ilhan Omar – namely Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley – minus their comrades, Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocacio-Cortez – represent two things which both want WITH INCREDIBLE FEROCITY to take away MY rights and MY freedoms.
Namely, COMMUNISM and ISLAMISM.
In fact, they want to take away EVERYBODY’S rights – all in the name of “equality”.
In doing so, those two things – communism and Islamism – have LITERALLY gerrymandered REALITY ITSELF in every possible IMAGINARY way except the ways that matter.
But what I find MOST ODD is the following.
THEY ARE THE ONES WHO CREATE THESE DIVISIONS.
They FEED on these divisions.
They NEED these divisions.
They STOKE these divisions.
They START these divisions.
They SPARK these divisions.
They CREATE these divisions.
They EXPAND these divisions.
They MAKE TOXIC these divisions.
And now – at long last – they actually have the GALL and the HELL-DESERVING CHUTZPAH to BLAME these divisions on somebody else.
I can in no way say this more strongly.
YOU are the fucking racist, Ilhan Omar. YOU are the fucking racist, Ayanna Pressley.
If you hate this country, which you do, please leave and go to CHINA.
IF you EVER come back, you may think differently about America. But I will tell you ladies this. We will NEVER let you turn this place into another China, where they have REAL socialism, and REAL concentration camps for Muslims, and REAL SLAVERY for PEOPLE LIKE ME.
SO GO TO HELL, SOCIALISTS.
We will NEVER let you bring socialist concentration camps here.
NEVER.
EVER.
Oh, and by the way, I posted about that earlier. Have a look.
Speaking of CHINA and the FOUR HATEWOMEN, I posted this on Gab, about “GO BACK”….
Why should the Four Horseladies go back? Enlightened SOCIALISM and KINDA SORTA EX-SOCIALISM IN China and Russia await their new citizens!
“Comrades Ocacio-Cortez, Omar, Tlaib and Pressley! Welcome to your new home in CHINA!”
China actually has REAL concentration camps for Muslims. You all should go to CHINA and be part of the real drama. Omar and Tlaib get to go INSIDE China’s concentration camps for Muslims, while AOC and Pressley can protest outside for one entire minute, if they’re very lucky, before they get sent to LAOGAI (otherwise known as concentration camps for politics), where they will surely be raped many times before they die, in lovely SOCIALIST CHINA!!! Where there is no racism, as long as you are the “right” kind of Chinese!
SOCIALISM! IT’S AWESOME – FOR THOSE IN CHARGE – FOR A WHILE!
