The Sands of Our Time
January 30, 2022 Leave a comment
Just the other day I received a company-wide email. The email updated employees with the latest leadership changes, new business opportunities, employee highlights, COVID testing kit availability, and about a recent DEI meeting.
The DEI blurb included a video and PDF. Both items, titled Let’s Talk Pronouns! Common Mistakes & What To Do Instead, were used in the meeting.
Thank you to everyone who attended the first [ ] meeting in December. The featured topic for the meeting was pronouns. Participants discussed common mistakes and what how to avoid them, including examples of language to use when sharing your own pronouns, asking others about their pronouns, or correcting yourself if you’ve mistakenly used incorrect pronouns. If you missed the meeting, you can watch the 10-minute video of this part of the discussion or download the PDF summary below.
Remember, when you take time to think about how others choose to be referenced and use their correct pronouns, you’re helping create an affirming workplace culture where all employees can feel fully seen, respected, and valued.
A couple of months before this DEI meeting an anonymous questionnaire was sent out asking opinions about bias. The responses, it stated, would be used to formulate DEI meeting topics. Here’s a couple of the questions and my responses:
Do you see bias in the company?
My response: “If you are looking for bias you will find it.”
What concerns about bias should DEI meetings address?
My response: “Why is [ ] turning the company over to children? (I should have added “Where are the adults?”) And with regard to bias, “Why not follow the Christian DEI understanding – Love your neighbor as yourself – instead of a Marxist program that separates people into disparate groups instead of unifying them?”
I should note that our company’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) initiative started in 2021. This was after the company began an aggressive hiring campaign during the OSHA COVID vaccine mandate disaster. At least fifteen percent of over 2000 employees had submitted exemptions to the vaccine and testing mandate. (I was one of them.)
Many of the new hires came from universities where they had been indoctrinated into the DEI stream of consciousness. Thereof, I suspect, was the impetus for our company’s DEI initiative – providing a “safe space” in a corporate culture that new hires were led to believe was non-affirming, disrespecting and devaluing. Getting paid and acknowledged for doing quality work in an engineering community is not enough for the narcissistic.
(Isn’t abstracting one’s self with absurd pronouns (ze/zir/zirs and zhe/zher/zhers, etc.) much like the deconstruction and obscuring of the human form in a cubist painting? And, isn’t the current pronoun mania much like the current tattoo mania?)
Of course, what’s behind the DEI pronoun façade is not only the willful and arrogant perversion of language, but also the pronoun warriors desire for power and control. As I see it, the owners of the company effectively handed over control of the business to the government by complying with the OSHA mandate and by venturing into wonderland with DEI.
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master – that’s all.”

I have a questionnaire for you. The questions relate to the foundations of our current sand castle culture:
Would you spend your time talking about pronouns?
Would you describe what Disney produces as sublime?
Do you subscribe to the Disney channel?
Will you watch the Woke live action movie copied from the original animate film Snow White? Will it be called Snow Blanca and the Seven Pronouns now that dwarfs living in a cave are out?
Should M&M’s become inclusive and allow one of their own to identify as a Skittle.
Is the word “entertainment” in scripture?
Do you believe that the U.S. government, via its representatives and bureaucrats, is altruistic?
Are you OK with all of your devices listening to your conversation via 5G?
Should we scrap everything and Build Back Better toward a “green prosperity” based on climate change hype?
Are you OK with The Great Reset forcing you to be part of their social experiment?
Are you OK with banks, the Federal reserve and elites bringing our country to economic collapse so as to Build Back Better?
Are you OK with the U.S. becoming a socialist hell-hole like Venezuela?
Are you OK with “the “deliberate enfeeblement of the nation” by political and cultural elites in the name of globalization and a transnational conception of Europe”? (Beyond the Culture of Repudiation – Claremont Review of Books)
Are you OK with “a watery, globalized humanitarianism” in place of the Christian “love your neighbor as yourself”? (Beyond the Culture of Repudiation – Claremont Review of Books)
Are you OK with eugenics –vaccine and implant induced – to produce a better human race?
Do you trust the elites?
Should a village raise a child?
“If California is ever going to achieve true equity, the state must require parents to give away their children.
. . . Now, I recognize that some naysayers, hopelessly attached to their privilege, will dismiss such a policy as ghastly, even totalitarian. But my proposal is quite modest, a fusion of traditional philosophy and today’s most common political obsessions.”
Should a child have multiple parents?
“It soon could be unremarkable for a child to have three or more legal parents.After months of political wrangling over how to support families, this may sound fantastical, but it’s fast becoming reality: Six states — California, Delaware, Maine, Vermont, Washington and most recently Connecticut — have enacted laws over the past decade expressly allowing a court to recognize more than two parents for a child. Many others, including Massachusetts, are considering similar proposals.”

Jesus taught, as he often did, using nature to present truth.
“So, then, everyone who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Heavy rain fell; floods rose up; the winds blew and beat on that house. It didn’t fall, because it was founded on the rock.
And everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them – they will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand. Heavy rain fell; floods rose up; the winds blew and battered the house – and down it fell! It fell with a great crash.” – Jesus as recorded in the gospel according to Matthew 7: 24-27
*****
We know from nature that sand forms when rocks break down from weathering and eroding over thousands and even millions of years. We know that cultural sand forms from the breaking down and erosion of longstanding truth. The culture of repudiation produces cultural sand almost overnight.
The rock crushers call themselves Progressives. They are dismissive of every aspect of our cultural capital, human nature and tradition. They rush in to create the negative, for they are nihilists. They are the jack hammers that leave nothing standing and reduce the rubble to dust and sand. They use diatribe chisels – “racist” “homophobe” “xenophobe” “racist”, “sexist”, and the like- to chip away at the bedrock of culture.
Many today sustain a quasi-religious belief in Progress. These build pronoun sand castles. These build sand castles of “hope and change” fundamental transformation and of Build Back Better. Sand pails are provided by The Great Reset elites who sit on the beach and watch them play.
You don’t need to be a civil engineer to know that rock and sand are two different footings. A wise builder makes sure the footing is stationary and stable. What’s the point of building if it isn’t?
Fools, reactionary fools, build their lives, their hopes, dreams, and future, on shifting sand. But all for a naught!

Name Games

Name games. There’s no shortage of them.
There are Democrat initiated bills that are titled one thing and do the exact opposite of their label when enacted. For example, the Inflation Reduction Act that won’t reduce inflation and inflates government instead and the unaffordable government-growing Affordable Care Act.
There is no end to the fraud or deception perpetrated by shifty pols who shift conspicuous things to hide something else – the name shell game. And just as countless, there is no shortage of labels and vitriol applied to those who do not want to play the name shell game. Those of us questioning the ‘games’ played by those in government are now deemed as being “the biggest threat to American democracy today” – another label that, here, shifts conspicuous meaning so as to hide something else what’s going on underneath. The label barrage continues.
In Biden regime terms, we are “extremists” – [We] embrace anger, thrive on chaos and live not in the light of truth, but in the shadow of lies, per Biden’s “Soul of the Nation” harangue.
If we don’t vote for Democrat massas, we are “not black”.
In politicized DOJ terms, we, as groups of parents, are characterized as “extremist hate organizations” for showing up at school board meetings, our protests categorized as the “equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.” In other words, we are “domestic terrorists” for accepting what has always been accepted up until Democrats with stolen power said only certain things are acceptable.
In terms of the CDC, big pharma, the media, and the untested gene-altering mNRA vaccine, we are the “strongly hesitant”, “hesitant” or “hesitant” and unsure” for not embracing “the science” and becoming lab rats in a hugely suspect and, as it turns out, a hugely profitable medical experiment.
In terms of the COVIDian politicians, we are “public health” and as such we are to be managed via social experiments that include lock downs, useless masks, life-wrecking mandates, and vaccine passports.
In terms of those who spend and spend and spend, we are “taxpayers” who are obligated by law to pay “our fair share” (despite over half the nation not paying taxes). But you won’t hear this label used for us: full faith and credit – a phrase used to describe one entity’s unconditional guarantee or commitment to back the interest and principal of another entity’s debt.
Those of us who pay taxes are the surety behind the U.S. debt that pledges to fulfill its payment obligations in a timely manner. And yet the ruling class treats us like dirt, e.g., sending $100 BN of hard-earned taxpayer money to protect Ukraine’s border and leaving the southern border wide open to all kinds of opportunists (they are NOT refugees).
The ruling class, with its name shell games, continues to syphon money from us through taxation. And they also tax us with the high inflation they’ve created with their new shell game the Green New Deal. Wealth redistribution is the name of the game.
The labeling salvos continue in the media, in colleges and universities, and in social media. We are everywhere labeled “homophobic”, “transphobic”, “xenophobic”, “racist”, “white supremist”, “science denier” and on and on. The intelligentsia (not the intelligent, idealogues) will use labels to defend their projects from critical examination, e.g., one is “racist” if one disagrees with the myopic 1619 Project or the racism invoking CRT.
It’s easy to see what’s behind the pernicious labeling. There is projection, condescension, fear, insecurity, and bullying (they’ll denounce it in the school yard and dispense it in the classroom and media). Labeling is used for leverage as in a form of self-righteousness fostered by the social justice religion that gives purpose to an otherwise pointless life. A rush to judgement, ubiquitous today with the help of anonymity, is often followed with labeling.

Who are “we”?
We are ordinary “salt of the earth” people. We are simple folk. We do what we have to do and do it every day. We work. Many of us do hands-on Dirty Jobs (and so we are looked down upon by the intelligentsia ruling class).
We avoid drama and delight in simple things, like a meal with family and friends.
We do what is needed and do so without fanfare, without tweets and Instagram posts, without calling attention to ourselves.
We don’t involve ourselves in self-deception and denying the truth for a crust of bread.
We speak truth in love to our neighbor.
We pray for our neighbors and not talk about them behind their backs. We don’t scold them with labels.
We relish the good and beautiful and moments of Gold in Sand:
Gold in sand: That is what true happiness is like. It occurs at ordinary moments and does not call attention to itself, much as Dolly does not call attention to herself. And yet it is moments like these that make a life meaningful.
In novel terms, we are not the narcissistic romanticist Anna Karenina. We are Dolly Oblonsky. whose everyday goodness, ceaseless efforts for her children, and fundamental decency attract no attention, but are the most meaningful of qualities, exemplifying religious virtue and “living for the soul”.
We are the Full Faith and Credit and “Soul of the Nation”. It goes without labels.

Jen’s Proposed Tax Plan for America:
No one ever pays more than 10% of their income during their lifetime. Those honorably discharged, no more than 5% tax over their lifetime.
No corporation pays more than 10% tax on their profit during its existence.
No more IRS. 10% comes out of each paycheck direct to the federal and state treasuries. What is spent is delineated in yearly statements to the dollar sent to taxpayers. (Reverse accountability)
No more welfare programs. Communities and churches care for the poor.
No more federal education. No more Dept. of Education. Each community decides the school and teachers.
No more pork barrel projects.
Social security tax ends in 10 years. Balance due recipients is paid from monies allocated for Ukraine, climate change and pet projects.
No real estate taxes.
No sales taxes
10% total tax is divided as follows:
7% to state
3% to federal government. Of the 3% 1% goes to pay down U.S. debt.
Everyone pays 10%. No special assessments.
So be it.
