Aubergine's Razor

“It is dangerous to attribute to stupidity that which could be the result of malice or guile.” -Aubergine

I love it!

Born from our discussion of Hanlon’s Razor HERE, I can neither vouch for the originality of Aubergine’s idea, nor will I even try. For MY purposes, this simply IS “Aubergine’s Razor”. Others can argue about priority. I heard it first from Aubergine. DONE!!!

As soon as I read this wonderful inversion of Hanlon’s “dull” Razor, I knew it was a winner, and promptly began creating memes.

That first one is subtle. WHOSE stupidity is not obvious, just as whose malice or guile is also not obvious. However, in my opinion, the fact that it could be many people makes this even more compelling. It is DISTURBING to see the El Paso patsy being led by a tactical pro. This one may not be the most obvious case of the Razor, but it is a POWERFUL one, and is worth coming back to later.

I noticed a FASCINATING psychological effect when I made this meme. As I chose the image, I worried that Susan Rice looked “too innocent” – that the meme would not work.

Yet look at it now. She looks PERFECT for it.

Next – CANKLES!

To quote President Trump, “LOOK AT THAT FACE!” The “Hillary patented fake smile” in spades!

Scott467 noticed something very interesting. The term “could be” almost seems ridiculously gentle, next to some of these criminal creeps. Words like “is likely to be” or ” is obviously” are very tempting. And yet, I think that Aubergine’s formulation, which would simply hint the possibility of malevolence to those lacking in discernment, is the best, because it’s the BROADEST possible application of the idea. If there even COULD be malice or guile, then the DANGER is asserted to be present.

michaelh postulates a corollary that I think most of us will agree with.

THAT IS WHY THE DEMOCRATS ALWAYS PLAY DUMB.

Yes! This cannot be repeated often enough. Dems are PLAYING DUMB, and we PLAY ALONG with their LIES disguised as FOLLY whenever we choose to “just let it stand” instead of – at the very least – rejecting their arguments as “not accepted by us”.

SO – let’s give a hand to Aubergine for handing us a formidable MEME and WEAPON, which I will now used to craft many new graphical memes.

We Are All Your Data Sunday

We all understand the incredible power the internet wields in our lives today. And yet all the big players seem to have no serious interest or ability in building an internet that provides good value, security and privacy at scale. And every single one seems to have curious founders and beginnings associated with persons involved with government agencies of various stripes.
The worst offenders need no elaboration. In the early days we loved to hate Micro$oft, Yahuuuu, and Netscrape. Now we worry about Faceborg’s over the top invasive data collection, with it even trying to contract with hospitals to get personal medical records! Their interest in collecting everything on everyone certainly should bring a smile of delight from the control freaks that want to run the planet.
In the run up to the 2020 Elections the ways in which our voices are silenced will likely be beyond belief. If there ever was a time to pray for God to place his hand on the technologies such that they serve his purposes, now is that time.

Another excessively large and questionable player, the Goolag, loves to build everything in a way that allows data collection on pretty much everything they touch.
Department Of Justice Expected To Launch New Anti-Trust Investigation Of Google
And they aren’t afraid to use their search engines to not only manipulate public perceptions, but undercut their competition as well.
ProtonMail-hidden-from-searches
The article partly shown above, Search Risk – How Google Almost Killed ProtonMail, chronicles the year long battle by ProtonMail to get them to “fix” a problem that was killing search access to their site and product information. It cost the company some serious loss of revenues. Here’s more of the story…
ProtonMail-akss-for-Search-FIX.png
Our VSG Lion PDJT has made sport of our enemies using the online media giant I like to call Twister, even using it to call out the service when it shut down the accounts of James Woods and Mary Ann Mendoza (among others). We should all be infuriated by their heavy handed ways that distort, throttle and even silence the voice of our conservative Patriot “digital army.”

With all that said, the hidden 500 pound Gorilla controlling much of the internet today is a company called CloudFlare. You many not even know how much power they wield over much of the global internet traffic. They have built a global infrastructure that virtually replaces the federation model of an internet run by multiple providers at every layer. This puts way too much power into the hands of a small number of technocrats.
CloudFlare-backers-customers
They took a lot of heat in their early days for not deplatforming a controversial site, and in the end they did indeed remove support for the site–on a whim of the CEO. And have more recently been in the news for deplatforming 8chan.

Cloudflare founders
CloudFlare founders Michelle Zatlyn and Matthew Prince

But make no mistake, the concerns over CloudFlare run far deeper than the ability to stop providing DDoS protection services. Some have suggested that the addition of certain new board members this past spring, may have been a factor in the decision to join in the smear campaign (and all out attack) on the home of the Qanon message board. That may be, but you can be sure that there have been many pressures to take sides in this war.
CloudFlare-globally
CloudFlare is now the Man-in-the-Middle of nearly everything that is on the internet. That means they can block access to site content,  spy on everything that goes through their world-wide server network, and give higher paying customers faster internet traffic routing with faster results.
What could possibly go wrong?
Dont-trust-cloudflare-warp-vpn
In the days to come, it will become more and more important to have researched and developed alternative platforms for the sharing of information and real-time communications. Tech companies are going to keep promising that they care about your safety, security and privacy. And those same companies will not really care at all…
WireGuard-not-WARP
Finding alternative comms will not be as simple as getting a Gab account as we have discovered. While 8chan was in the crosshairs of those at war with free speech and the Q movement, Gab was next in line.
e070b7bc15b9fa74
The troubles they have encountered are helping us all to see where the weak points are and hopefully develop better services in response. At this stage, it would seem that we need multiple modes for connecting in the hopes that not all of them are taken out at the same time.
alternative-PLATFORMS-online
At this point it would seem that CloudFlazi is going to be one to watch and to keep in our prayers. I’ve been given a server unreachable error message from CloudFlazi more than a few times when trying to reach Gab.com in the past month.
We are in this to win, with the help of God.
Let’s work to get wise and to stay connected!

Calendar side note: Today is also the beginning of the festival celebrated in India called Navaratri (meaning nine nights). It’s definitely not a Christian event, but Christians in the Indian culture do sometimes participate. Top line: it’s a celebration of good triumphing over evil. Under the hood: this is a purely Hindu festival with goddesses receiving worship as the heroines in the struggle against the demons of their mythology. As believers, understanding this holiday may help us open a conversation and offer a Christian perspective to our Indian friends.

What Trumps Intelligence?

There’s been much talk of research into artificial intelligence (AI) being important to various nations for national security reasons. We’ve seen recent speculation about body doubles or even clones for some influential but elderly persons.

There has been discussion about the work of researchers here and abroad attempting to merge human and machine as the next step in our evolution. And some independent voices have been suggesting that those who desire power and dominion in our world are seeking methods for creating soulless humanoids that would be easier to control.

Let’s ask some questions about the appropriateness of the focus of these discussions. Are youth, embodiment and intelligence actually the keys to much of anything after all?
albert-einstein-head
Let’s talk about I.Q. Around the same time as eugenics became a hot topic among the (godless) elite in academia (Salk, Stanford), the all -hallowed TESTING (Wolf!) of children to identify those with high I.Q. was pursued as the way towards the best future for humanity. In fact, this was the beginning of almost 50 years of forced sterilization or even institutionalizing of supposed low I.Q. women to prevent them from creating more “low I.Q.” children.
A sad and shameful blight on our history based on wrong thinking that did not prove out. Did you know that activism and papers written here in the USA at that time became the inspiration for Hitler’s eugenics programs?
US Eugenics influenced Nazis.png
However, you have likely seen for yourself that a very clever person who has not developed genuine strength of character is often merely a more successful predator and/or criminal.
Later research was published indicating that your I.Q. score has little or no correlation to success or fulfillment in real life. The willingness to apply oneself, develop skills and good character traits all come into play when looking at the basis for enjoying a good life.
Some researchers still think those with high I.Q. have better success in life, but admit they may struggle more with certain health issues.
Mensa IQ not protective from mood disorders

May I propose that what actually trumps the #FAKE siren song of increasing our INTELLIGENCE will be elicited by discarding the FAILED materialistic model of reality pushed on us by #FAKE SCIENCE and returning to the world view of the mystics where reality is found in a living, energetic, conscious universe.


Returning to such a world view immediately remedies many of the evils of this present age–nearly effortlessly. If the universe itself and all that inhabits it are energetically and consciously interconnected, then everything matters, everything is to be given a voice, some consideration, a say in the process in which we find ourselves.

Canticle of Brother Sun and Sister Moon by St. Francis of Assisi
Most High, all-powerful, all-good Lord,
All praise is Yours, all glory, all honour and all blessings.
To you alone, Most High, do they belong,
and no mortal lips are worthy to pronounce Your Name.
Praised be You my Lord with all Your creatures,
especially Sir Brother Sun,
Who is the day through whom You give us light.
And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendour,
Of You Most High, he bears the likeness.
Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars,
In the heavens you have made them bright, precious and fair.
Praised be You, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air,
And fair and stormy, all weather’s moods,
by which You cherish all that You have made.
Praised be You my Lord through Sister Water,
So useful, humble, precious and pure.
Praised be You my Lord through Brother Fire,
through whom You light the night
and he is beautiful and playful and robust and strong.
Praised be You my Lord through our Sister, 
Mother Earth who sustains and governs us,
producing varied fruits
with colored flowers and herbs.
Praise be You my Lord
through those who grant pardon for love of You
and bear sickness and trial.
Blessed are those who endure in peace,
By You Most High, they will be crowned.
Praised be You, my Lord through Sister Death,
from whom no-one living can escape.
Woe to those who die in mortal sin!
Blessed are they She finds doing Your Will.
No second death can do them harm.
Praise and bless my Lord and give Him thanks,
And serve Him with great humility.

With a holy awe silencing our drives to mold the world into that which would please ourselves the most, we begin to allow the more subtle essences of Creation to guide us.

We do not abuse others, using them for our pleasure with a total disregard for the consequences such soul-stealing acts initiate within and around all that is touched by the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical darkness we are empowering.
We become more thoughtful when we encounter ethical questions about killing babies in the womb, snowflake babies, IVF, human cloning, baby farms, sexual abuse of babies and children, the use of embryonic stem cells in vaccines, the use of aborted baby tissue in cosmetics, the suggestion of outright cannabalism as a solution for “climate change.”
If all of Creation is an interconnected, conscious and living Unity, we cannot respond as Cain and say, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” as that implies we have the power to “divorce” ourselves from the greater totality of existence. To vainly attempt to create our own mini-universe where we happily exclude all that we personally reject about reality.

Not even satan has succeeded in fully escaping the winsome pull of the beauty and sheer goodness of Heaven’s essence which are embedded holographically into the very smallest quarks in Creation and it has driven him mad. We become fools if we imagine we have the power to do so ourselves.

Wanna Buy Greenland?

download (4)

Kalaallit Nunaat – Start practicing how to say it. 

You have to admit, never, ever, in a million years, did you EVER think the Trump Presidency would be THIS GOOD. Admit it, come on, admit it, no one saw this coming.

Mid-afternoon yesterday, we were all getting ready for the Trump Rally in Manchester, NH. I checked Twitter for new pics from our supporters and noticed a WSJ article about President Trump trying to buy Greenland.  Link   Full Stop. Huh? He wants to buy a country?

Buying a country? Hehe, yeah baby – There’s your new GREEN Deal!!!!

The WSJ article went on to explain the idea is not as far-fetched as it sounds. Apparently, the USA tried to buy Greenland in 1867. Again, in 1946, Truman offered 100 million dollars for Greenland, but the Danes turned us down. Greenland is an
“autonomous region” owned by Denmark.

The WSJ continued. Apparently, President Trump was at a round table, meeting with leaders, somewhere, when the subject of Greenland came up. Denmark subsidizes the 50K+ residents of Greenland to the tune of 591 million dollars, annually. The drain on Denmark’s purse was causing strain. Someone asked Trump if he was interested. President Trump turned the question back to the table and replied, “What do you think?”

Well, if the largest island in the world is a distressed asset, a fixer-upper, and in a great location, who else but Donald Trump could put the deal together? One tidbit, the residents of Greenland are not allowed to buy land. They only have the use of the land, to build a home/biz, whatever. The land still belongs to Denmark, making such a transaction much easier.

Well, it may have been an offhand joke at the time, but the WSJ is reporting President Trump came home and asked his WH Counsel to look into the idea. Additionally, the WSJ reports President Trump has brought up the idea of purchasing Greenland several times in Cabinet meetings. The USA has a Treaty with Denmark giving the USA almost unlimited access and use of Greenland. Treaty has been updated and amended a few times take a look at latest revisions here. Link

By the time the Trump Rally was over, about 8:40pm Eastern time, CNBC posted an article about Greenland and also referred back to the WSJ article. Link

I woke up to let the dog out about 4:00am Eastern (bewitching hour for the east coast media), and was still thinking about how terrific the rally was last night. The first 9 tweets were all about Greenland, including this one.

https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1162236670869008384
https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1162235084973305858

In fact, Greenland is now TRENDING on Twitter.

Of course, the left is knee-jerk opposed to the idea………. but in a desperate kind of way. It’s hilarious to watch.

The replies and responses are pure gold!

https://twitter.com/ReelQuinn/status/1162205608407269376

The MSM has clearly been caught with their pants down. Pundits can’t talk and they are stuttering without approved talking points from (whomever sends the talking points).

Meanwhile, others are looking at the idea seriously. This morning, suddenly, everyone is talking about GREENLAND. We want to know EVERYTHING about Greenland.

Here’s a map to get you oriented:

image001

Found this article, written by Rick Mills, which is excellent:  Link  Rick’s motto is ” As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information”

Good Motto, we need good information. Here is some basic background about Greenland from Rick.

The population of Greenland is 56,648 with 14,719 inhabitants living in the capital Nuuk (formerly Godthab). The majority of Greenland’s population live in towns along the fjords in the southwest of the country where the climate is relatively mild. The second largest city is Sisimiut, followed by Ilulissat and Qaqortoq.

Whoops, this might be a problem…..

Greenland has had “Self Rule” since June 21, 2009 (including control over minerals and petroleum) – which means that the country has assumed making the political decisions that previously come from Denmark.

Did Obama agree to giving away our stake in Greenland? Kangerlussuaq (Søndre Strønfjord) in the West or Narsarsuaq in the South, were American air bases. We still have Thule Air Base in Greenland. From the WSJ article, Pompeo was scheduled to visit Greenland in May, but the trip was canceled in because of tension with Iran. Hmmmm….

In Greenland, the story is all about minerals and natural resources. Yet, we might have another problem……. because of Greenland’s new autonomous rule, but owned by Denmark. Gee Whiz, might be why the WH Counsel is looking into it. Greenland’s constant reliance on Denmark for ‘grants’ and subsidies, is straining the relationship.

The BMP is the authoritative body for all administration in relation to the mineral resources industry in Greenland. Licensees only have to apply to one place to obtain all their necessary licenses – the BMP is very much a ‘one stop shop’ – ensuring efficient administration in the area of mineral resources. The BMP has the regulatory authority to review, evaluate and approve all SIA’s, licenses and facilitate public hearing processes.

….. The BMP took over from the Danish authorities in 1998. (my emphasis added)

image007

Rare earth’s, coal, lead, zinc, silver, diamonds, and exploration of gas and oil makes Greenland very tempting.

*Greenland’s geology is continuous with that of Canada and Northern Europe. It includes:

  • Archaean cratons – potential for diamonds, gold, REE
  • Paleoproterozoic mobile belts – potential for base metals, PGE’s, gold and tantalum
  • Lower Palaeozoic sediments – potential for base metals
  • Carboniferous Cretaceous sediments – potential for coal
  • Lower Tertiary intrusive complexes, the Skýrgaard intrusion being the most important in terms of gold and PGE potential

Greenland’s offshore geology is highly prospective for petroleum. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimated, in 2007, that the East Greenland Rift Basins Province could hold over 31 billion barrels of oil, gas and natural gas liquids. The USGS also estimated that the waters off Greenland’s west coast could contain more than 110 billion barrels of oil (roughly 42% of Saudi Arabia’s reserves).

For anyone who thinks President Trump is crazy, take a look at what the CEO’s are doing. Yeah, they already know………

ExxonMobil, Chevron, Husky, Encana, the UK’s Cairn Energy and Denmark’s Dong Energy are among the companies that have either already won or applied for exploration licenses from Greenland’s Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum for acreage.

And finally, here is the hook, and probably why our VSG is pondering the idea.

But how will Greenland pay for the responsibilities it may eventually take over from the Danish state? The main challenge to securing greater self-government is overcoming the reliance on the annual grant Greenland receives from Denmark and replacing it with revenues generated from within the country. Mineral mining and oil and gas production would ease this dependence. Fortunately Greenland is highly prospective for minerals and is hugely underexplored – the country is a new, and one of the last, frontiers for mineral and petroleum exploration.

Greenland is still reliant on Denmark, and Denmark is tired of paying for Greenland….. enter……. President Trump.

It’s such a PRETTTyyyy country.

And development would make America WEALTHY again….. Hmmmm…..

My Dinner With Andrew

I must be in a retro mood.

This last day started off – late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning – with my little TOM PETTY rant.

Scammin’ Me

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.

Bon appétit!

And YES – the “four horsewomen” comment comes at 4:25 in the video, if you want to check it out.

I found something rather remarkable, thanks to the FAKE NEWS SOCIAL MEDIA (YouTube) and its massive and omnipresent BIAS against all things Trump, Republican, etc.

The fake news was REALLY SCARED OF THIS SEGMENT. Not only did I find the HuffPo piece very quickly (and before I found Laura’s actual monologue) – I also found right next to it a “Young Turks” panel of women who spent 12 minutes going off on Laura’s criticism.

Here is THAT video – without the benefit of showing. Sorry, ladies – all you get is a link: https://youtu.be/GgQ53kzqcUM

Fortunately, our wonderful VSGPOTUS – defending AMERICA from those who despise it, has maximally unmasked these bitter agents of COMMUNISM and ISLAMISM.

So much so, that even the HORRIBLE COMMUNIST David Axelrod was forced to the surface, from his bottom-feeding mud-hole somewhere in Chicago….

Well, I’m here to help.

Have a great day, Mr. Axelrod, you COMMUNIST.

YOU get to defend both the VIOLENT #ANTIFA and the SUBVERSIVE #AUNTIFA.

Or should I say – #AUNTIFAH.

There you go – it comes in two varieties – COMMUNIST and ISLAMIST. Take your pick.

So while we’re at it, using the TRUMP DOCTRINE to make the COMMUNISTS and ISLAMISTS behind the Democrat Party responsible for the angry loony radical communist and Islamist ladies of AUNTIFA(H), it’s time to also make them responsible for the VIOLENCE of ANTIFA.

And on that note, a VERY interesting video from NORWAY.

AH – the COMFORTING PRESENCE of a peaceful family man – STRONG ENOUGH TO DEFEND WHAT’S RIGHT, from those who USE CONFLICT AND HATRED to advance an UNWANTED AGENDA OF CONTROL over the PEOPLE.

Check out this man’s wonderful testimony.

HOW NORWAY GOT RID OF ANTIFA.

The video is painfully long, but the man’s slow, controlled, precise, oddly “West-Germanic” Norwegian-accented English, is weirdly soothing, and worth at least a short listen.

His prescription (as interpreted / analyzed / augmented by me) comes down to this:

  • they have to be arrested, every time they are violent or do something illegal
  • they need to be ridiculed as LOSERS – not bullied – but regularly ridiculed
  • their hatred of traditional masculinity and family must be recognized and criticized
  • they ALL have personal issues – FIXING THOSE weakens their abuse by communists
  • the abuse of these mental patients by communists to fill the ranks must be criticized
  • the TRANS movement that FILLS ANTIFA must be shut down as mental abuse
  • the TRANS movement is designed to GENERATE CONFLICTOS to become ANTIFA
  • the antifa groups now have support from the INTERNET – weaken / oppose it
  • they now have too much support from journalists – ridicule, criticize, warn and shame
  • journalists labeling normies AS NAZIS is exactly what the NAZIS did – demand they stop
  • antifa have both support and CREATION from academics – weaken, criticize, spotlight
  • antifa are “farmed” in universities – weaken, criticize, and SUE OUT THE WAZOO
  • the centrist politicians who will define the future of a peaceful nation must shun them
  • the contradictions of the movement (hatred and violence) must be made clear
  • ban the wearing of masks to force members to face both consequences and contradictions
  • members have to be given a PATH OF RETREAT to leave the movement, #WALKAWAY

(Thanks to Wheatie for a reminder about the banning of masks – VERY important!)

I can tell you, that after I listen to this video, then cross-reference it with the video at the end, in which UNIVERSITIES are identified as ANTIFA INCUBATORS, and catalog the individual points above, I am quite confident that we can destroy ANTIFA and make Democrats, and particularly the COMMUNISTS who are in control of the party, fully responsible for the mess.

Socialism Freebies ~ What's the Cost?

Whaddya mean Bernie Sanders is trying to sell me on Socialism?

Woke up this morning and flipped on the news. First story was about a survey of how socialism is gaining traction among women. What? Makes no sense! Contradiction in philosophy. How are women supposed to be modern, strong, make their own decisions, independent…. yet want to be taken care of…. not by a man…. but by the state? Too proud to compromise with a husband to make a successful marriage…. yet willing to sell their souls and become passive…. to the state? Women don’t like being trapped in oppressive households and relationships. Ladies, be careful what you wish for.

Socialism is a bad idea for men and women…….. but it’s even worse for women, and all of us should know better.

I read Bernie’s platform in 2016 and the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America (DCA). If you have not read it, give it a try. It’s a contract for your life, and you should read it before signing up…… Bottom line, DCA/Bernie/AOC and her buddies advocate for government control of healthcare, banking, and all energy. Anyone who’s gone beyond an 8th grade education understands this is a bad idea…. that is….if we want to be free.

Everyone who has ever had their heart broken, especially women, should easily understand this conundrum. Nothing is ever ALL sunshine and rainbows. Without the rain, there are no flowers. Without ugly, there is no beauty. Without money, there are no great shoes…..

The problem is, socialism isn’t all gimme, gimme, gimme….. free college, better wages, guaranteed jobs, and life as a special rainbow unicorn in utopia. It’s a trade-off. No one talks about what we have to give up…. to get the “free” stuff. The politicians never mention the bad parts. WHAT college will the politician ALLOW you to go to? WHO will select YOUR job, YOUR career (because there will be a bureaucrat and a test to take in order to decide your career path)? WHAT will you be allowed to eat? HOW many children will YOU be allowed to have……. if any? WHERE will YOU be ALLOWED to live? It won’t be YOUR choice…. a bureaucrat will make the decision. With socialism, those days of “choices” are gone. Let’s not be stupid, here.

With capitalism, we have to work for and earn what we receive. What are you willing to do? We all want to be trim and fit, but are you willing to exercise and eat well?

We all want to be loved, but are you willing to invest in relationships, compromise, forgive, and heaven forbid, occasionally admit to being wrong? Could you relinquish your position even when you know you’re right? Because to be loved and in a relationship will take a LOT of capitulation….. for both parties. Or is it easier for you to get a dog/cat… where you can always be right?

We all want to be rich, but are you willing to forego instant gratification, work endless hours to develop your product or idea, buck the trends and your friends, remain determined……. even after you may fail multiple times? Could you do it? Or would you rather have “rich” fall into your lap…. easily.

Think about it. What are you willing to “give” in order to “take”, because there is always a trade-off.

Bigger questions….. What would make you happy? Does controlling others make YOU happy? Do YOU really think you would be one of those in power in a socialist system? I’m laughing…. some people assume they will be…… Do you have realistic expectations? What makes YOU so special? Why shouldn’t your neighbor be in charge of what YOU can have?

Would being rich, loved, or handsome/beautiful make you happy…… or is it really something else which is makes you angry, driving you, makes you restless, causes your fear? And most importantly, WHEN do you answer those questions? When you’re 20? 30? 60? Or never…..  Do you die with that baggage because it’s too hard to ask those questions? Look around, how many people do you know who live….. and die…… with a chip on their shoulder? Wow, what a burden to carry.

Aubergine said something yesterday or day before and it made my blood run cold. In a personal moment, she spoke of her mother being incredibly manipulative. The relationship with her mother caused her great pain, but taught her to stay away from people like her mother. She learned. I didn’t wish for the pain of Aubergine’s experience as a child, but oh, how I was jealous to not learn the lesson earlier in my life….. because it would have saved a great deal of pain in my life. And right there, I was guilty. I wished for Aubergine’s knowledge/experience……. without the trade-off of pain, and the wisdom with comes from the pain.

Nothing is ever free. What’s the trade-off? Yin and Yang. Equal and opposite reactions. Cause and effect. A free and easy life promised by politicians……no problems….. …sunshine and rainbows…… at no personal cost…… you’ve got to be kidding……….  Who believes this crap?

The promise of socialism is so fake, so obvious, it’s like trying to sell a diet of doughnuts and beer, to ensure the body of a supermodel or the Diet Coke guy. It reminds me of Hallmark movies, where the young girl’s absent father reappears and he’s really a prince….. and sweeps away the young girl and her forlorn/bitter mother to a faraway European Castle. Yet, the Hallmark fairy tales edit out teenage pimples, all the overdue bills, mom working two jobs, many nights of tears at 2:00am, and the girl not being popular in school.

Socialism is a fairytale. Grow up.

Today, too many people are buying what slick politicians are selling. They believe in the fairytale, take the easy path, the short cut to whatever we want…. It’s even better for politicians because they control the process…. Take the money and nice lifestyle  from someone else… who earned it = socialism. The socialists rationalize their behavior, “They have to pay their fair share.”, but when do YOU do your fair share of the work? What are you willing to give up?

Healthcare

With the ACA, women who are beyond child-bearing years, and women who never want children, lesbians, those who are sterile, still pay a higher healthcare premium because maternity coverage is mandated by ACA. Is it worth an extra $200/month to you? Cuz you’re paying for it. A bureaucrat made the decision and YOU have no choice.

The interest on all student loans was raised from 3-6% to 6-9% because the government makes money on student loans, about $42 billion a year…. and the earnings help to subsidize healthcare. With an average student loan of $25K, the increase of about 3% is costing YOU about $75/month extra. Is it worth it? Cuz you’re paying for it. Did you think just the rich people were paying taxes? Hahaaaa. A bureaucrat made the decision.

Yes it is noble to advocate for healthcare for the poor but let’s look at what we have to give up……. the trade-off. Yes, our system failed as those with serious illness were driven to bankruptcy because of healthcare costs but this particular problem has not yet been addressed. Yet, the ACA wrecked healthcare for the VAST majority of Americans, no choice of physician, led to part-time jobs, and spiraling premiums (mine is up 400% and I still go out of network, pay cash, cross a state line, to visit our family doctor)…. cuz the insurance companies were guaranteed a 15% profit. Gee, who wouldn’t want to be in a business with a guaranteed profit…… with no cost reduction measures as part of the deal. Who represented the American people for such bad contract? Ahhh, yes, it was the Dems, the precursor to socialized medicine.

Limited choices and more expense. Any 8th grader would reject it. Women with a student loan are paying about $275/month more = trade-off.

Banking

Why would anyone think it would be a good idea for a government to take over our banking sector. Are they kidding? The answer from the American left to the Crash of 2008 was Elizabeth Warren’s Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, February 21, 2011. The Obama/Holder DOJ didn’t prosecute anyone for the Crash of 2008. No one went to jail. We got the crash of 2008 because the government thought they could regulate housing and EVERYONE deserved a house. How did that work out?

Tell me, who has benefitted from the CFPB? My little bank used to spend $300K a year in compliance costs. After CFPB, they spend about $2 million/yr. It’s less money for car loans, kitchen remodels, small biz expansion…. and less employees in the bank. How was the CFPB good? We still have loan shark pay-day loan businesses and exorbitant credit card interest for those who can least afford it. Ahhhhh, that’s right, the CFPB doesn’t answer to Congress…. so we’re really not sure.

The CFPB fined banks for billions of dollars (12 billion so far) ( Link  ) and is allowed to redistribute funds to “community organizations” which have a loose connection to those who were allegedly harmed. So the CFPB is really just a money train, taking money from banks…… and makes the cost of banking rise, for every American. Did you know, the CFPB has fielded 720K complaints since 2011……. which are public so anyone can make a wild claim, but the same database already existed at the FTC (which is private and adjudicated). It’s a dual effort…… yet the CFPB does employ another 12K people at government expense.

Duplicate agencies, the CFPB with no accountability to Congress, waste of taxpayer dollars…….. no, the 8th grader says, “NO!”. The 12 billion + cost of 12K workers = 13.74billion/150 million adult Americans = It cost you $91.60/year for a duplicate agency OR an amount equal to about 1/4 of the entire budget for the Dept of Education.

Energy

The idea of our government taking over the energy sector is scary. Even with Obama’s sluggish economy, the PRIVATE oil sector created fracking and a boom began, employing millions. We also recall the $6,000/gallon biofuel the Obama Administration insisted upon for the US Military, and the $7000 per car subsidy for electric cars. Billions upon billions were lost to “invest” in renewables and sustainable energy, and no socialist cared about children in the Congo mining Cobalt for 14 hours a day. Advances in nuclear energy were ignored. Coal production was all but shut down for “climate change” while the Chinese built 5 coal plants a month ….. because the bureaucrat in charge picked favorites. The Trump Admin came to office and 60K coal miners went back to work…. supplying clean coal plants….. reducing our energy bills and giving us more options for energy. We even export coal, decreasing our trade deficit. The USA is often referred to as the OPEC of coal. Who walks away from #1 status?

Those of us who are old enough to remember the OPEC embargo of the 70’s recall the humiliation of Americans standing in line, our economy brought to a standstill, because Middle Eastern Countries would not sell us oil. I was young but shocked a country as powerful as our’s could be brought to our knees. Well, under the Trump Administration, we’re now the #1 Oil and LNG producer in the world. A competent government would have addressed the problem much sooner.

Even if we were to assume Global Warming is the dire problem the DCA believes it is, we know Petroleum forms the base of thousands of products. Petroleum is also in the top three trade items of every single country on earth. It makes economic sense, and sound national security policy, to be a global leader in the petroleum industry…… unless you’re an ideologue who is a member of the DCA.

My fictional 8th grader took a look at this partial list of 6,000 items made with petroleum. The 8th grader wants to keep these items and is not willing to give up petroleum production…. even for the promise of freebies in a perfect world with sunshine and rainbows. My guess is …… the women who THINK they want socialism would reject such an ugly, smelly, dirty, socialist utopia.

Take A Look At The List of Petroleum Products

Even for shallow self-absorbed females……. Without nail polish, shampoo, makeup, lipstick, sunglasses, toothpaste, hair curlers, sweaters, dresses, perfumes, soap, purses, shoes, and deodorant…. no woman would want to live in such a world. (Link )

Nah, the women who run businesses and need caulking, diesel, floorwax, coolers, ammonia, chemicals, …….. and our lipstick…. will stick with capitalism.

With Socialism, we have no choices. The bureaucrats decide what we should do and we’re too independent now. The trade-off is too steep, the cost to high. We’ll keep our freedom. Maybe we should start walking or running to lose a few pounds and/or be happy with the way we look. Yes, we could probably figure out a way to save $5/day, and accumulate a little nest egg. And that guy around the corner, who worships the ground we walk on…… he’s willing to compromise and meet us halfway. Maybe, we should give him a chance.

Socialism wants to assure equality of all people. No one poor, but no one exceptional either. Why try? Why innovate? Why be a leader? Why defend anyone? Pretty soon…. we wouldn’t even “want” or “hope” anymore…. because everything we did want would not be allowed by bureaucrats.

Thanks anyway, DCA. No thanks, Bernie.

No deal.
