The essential problem is that Tocqueville misunderstood America’s political principles and therefore, at some level, didn’t really understand the modern world. He thought that the very real problem of centralized administration would arise from a popular demand for conformity. But it is not the American people (who even today cherish individual freedom and admire success) who have demanded a regime of egalitarian social engineering. Rather, it is the ruling class, alienated from almost all of America’s great traditions, that has rejected the political equality of the Declaration of Independence (a document Tocqueville never really appreciated). This managerial elite appeals to an entirely different set of assumptions about the power of rational methodology to govern society, including, of course, assumptions about its own privileged position. (Emphasis mine.)
The lecturing managerial elites include a gallery of “Christian” social engineers: Never Trumpers of The After Party, the Trinity Forum and of podcasts, church seminars and Evangelicals for Harris.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. – C.S. Lewis
America choosing Net Zero Democrat & Global Elitist policies.
Victor Davis Hanson joins John Anderson after President-elect Trump’s victory to explore why his direct style resonated with middle America. Hanson examines the economic and social factors driving Trump’s appeal, from rising inflation and border insecurity, to the sense of exclusion felt by many Americans. This interview highlights the stark divide between global elites and everyday citizens, examining how media and institutions underestimated public frustration.
The never-ending resistance to Trump and America First policies:
Following suit, I wrote to both Indiana Senators this morning, saying . . .
Senator,
What the hell is going on in the US Senate? Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the senate. Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s.
McConnell does not want the new administration to succeed. He wants to maintain control through his crony friends. If you care about America then DO NOT align yourself with either of McConnell’s two choices.
Rick Scott of Florida is the only candidate who agrees with Donald Trump. Endorse Rick Scott and not the others. Don’t let McConnell get away with more resistance to America First for the sake of McConnell first.
They’re prepping lawsuits and legislation to stymie the incoming administration.
Democratic governors are signaling their willingness to defy the new Trump administration, vowing to protect freedoms in their states and to wage legal and political battle if the president-elect follows through with controversial proposals.
(What freedoms are they talking about? More abortions. More transgender mutilation of children?)

On one side, there’s a party of lecturing, control, intrusion, overreach, and lawfare.
On the other side, there’s a party of Fight.
On one side, there’s a party of destroying democracy to save democracy (If Dems take control of the House in two years, they will work to impeach President Trump once again.)
On the other side, there’s a party of Making America Great (and Healthy) Again.
On one side, there’s a party of lecturing about radical diversity, equity, and inclusion.
On the other side, there’s a party of those tired of being lectured to about racism and radical diversity, equity, and inclusion.
On one side, there’s a party of the media bubble, projection, lies, “misinformation”, and propaganda.
On the other side, there’s a party of downhome common sense
On one side, there’s a party of division, atomization, loneliness, and “we’re-in-this-together unity” by coercion.
On the other side, there’s a party united in the good that has been.
On one side, there’s a party whose ideas (ideologies, really) are so misaligned with the country that it loses the popular vote.
On the other side, there’s a party that tapped, not into false consciousness, but into very human concerns about the economy, inflation, the border, and safety – that tapped into reality.
The Democrats’ stronghold in the Twin Cities metro area—particularly Hennepin and Ramsey counties—ultimately secured the state. But Trump’s gains outside the metro area, where he flipped Winona, Nicollet, Carlton, and Blue Earth counties, provide further evidence of Greater Minnesota’s continued shift away from the Democratic Party.
Former senior Obama advisor-turned-senior Kamala Harris advisor David Plouffe has deleted his X account after suggesting on Wednesday that Harris’ landslide defeat was Joe Biden’s fault for not dropping out soon enough, and right as a massive campaign debt scandal erupts.
There’s a word that seems to encompass what our ruling elite and the party they congregate around — that’s the Democrat Party, in case you’re a little slow — have in the way of an attitude toward the rest of us.
Contempt.
We’ve seen this for a long time. Eight years ago, when the Democrats made a transition from the charismatic (but certainly not friendly) Barack Obama to the anti-charismatic Hillary Clinton, even the most obtuse observer could see how nasty the Democrats had become. (Emphasis mine.)
The Helene Response Is Not Incompetence. It’s Something Worse. . .
We have been given another look at Kamala’s Joy and New Way Forward: First, Do No Help.
How do Never Trumpers and Evangelicals for Harris justify their allegiance to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz? This dreadful duo is OK with chaos and destruction and simply ignoring the needs of others for the sake of their Leftist political notions. All of the destruction of the last three-and-a–half years, here and abroad, has been made possible by Biden-Harris (Who say, along with fellow communists of the New Way Forward, “Why build up when you can overwhelm, tear down, burn down and start over from scratch.”)
As Border Czar, Kamala Harris continues to leave the border wide open. She has allowed in all kinds of destructive elements: criminals, terrorists, diseases, and deadly fentanyl. Harris was VP during the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Thirteen American soldiers died in the process.
Harris passed the Inflation Reduction Act which added to the highest inflation in 80 years. Harris called out the amount of money spent on police departments who keep law and order in the increasing crime-ridden communities flooded with illegals. Harris spoke well of the 2020 rioting and helped bail out rioters.
Biden-Harris released money for Iran. Iran and Hezbollah then went about attacking Israel.
I have no doubt that the heinous Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Susan Rice and others are behind the destructive policies of Harris. Harris is just a DEI hire along for the ride.
Harris is OK with censorship and the destruction of free speech.
🚨ELON MUSK FOR TRUMP:
"This is a man who has COURAGE UNDER FIRE!"
"This is the most important election. They want to take away your arms. They want to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your ability to have fair elections."
How do Never Trumpers and Evangelicals for Harris wed their vaunted opinions of themselves with the broadcasted disdain Democrats like Harris and Walz have for our Democracy, our Constitution, our country, and their utter disregard of, contempt for, and hatred of American citizens? Because Not Trump?

Obama-Harris whisperer David Axelrod, host of the “Axe Files” podcast, said the quiet part out loud as the Biden Regime blocks ongoing rescue operations in North Carolina.
Axelrod said Hurricane Helene victims in North Carolina are mainly Trump voters who will find it hard to vote in the 2024 election.
David Axelrod said affected Democrats from Asheville are “upscale liberal voters, and they’re probably going to figure out a way to vote. I’m not sure a bunch of these folks who had their homes and lives destroyed elsewhere, in western North Carolina, in the mountains, there are going to be as easy to wrangle for the Trump campaign.”

Let’s say you are all in on the Not Trump candidate being elected. The trustworthy and unbiased media and DOJ have endlessly vilified the other candidate. Based on this, you see yourself above that “foul” candidate and his supporters. Your image – self and public – and your world must be protected.
Let’s say you have chosen to accept what people in the media are saying: “Trump and Christian Nationalists are a threat to Democracy.” And though Democracy didn’t fall during Trump’s first term and the nation didn’t become a theocracy and Democrats, the democracy-must-be-destroyed-to-Save-Democracy party, perverted Democracy to steal the 2020 election, you have chosen to believe that Democracy is now threatened by Trump and his kind because there are those who say so.
Let’s say you’re all in with the Not-Trump candidate and the “Save Democracy” party, the self-proclaimed protectors of democratic norms (that ensured that there would not be an open Democratic primary . . . so democracy can die in darkness).
Let’s say you are OK with all this and you will look-in-the-mirror-of-your-world and see yourself as respectable for voting Not Trump. You’ve come to view your version of Christianity/Progressivism as not all that destructive. It is simply a way to be open-minded and to “Love Your Neighbor.”
Economics is over your head but you’ve heard the Not Trump candidate say “equity” “fair share” “price-gouging” and “opportunity economy.” And though under the Not Trump administration, inflation has reached its highest point since 1981, the high cost of living burdening millions of Americans, and the country has entered a recession, and the Not Trump candidate is clueless about economics, you go with the Not Trump flow because Not Trump.
Abortion, borders, and national sovereignty are annoying issues the Right brings up and so you avoid them. You have a higher calling. You are all in on existential and emotion-driven causes: climate change regulations, racial power structures, “unity”, “being nice”, “creation care”, and welcoming all illegal migrants without worrying about how to care for them.
Let’s say you are all in on the Not-Trump candidate and The New Way Forward. What does that look like?
Imagine. You own a business with employees and overhead to pay for and government comes in and says your pricing is too high. (Would they do this to Harvard?) You are accused of “price-gouging.” What do you do? To avoid expensive and extended litigation, you drop prices. Revenue is subsequently reduced. But, labor, materials, and overhead costs haven’t changed. To keep your business operating you cut employee benefits. You then cut the labor force. You then sell assets. Not hard to imagine. The New Way Forward is government saying it owns you and your business.
Accusing companies and corporations of taking advantage of people (Kamala, AOC, Liz Warren, et al.) with “price-gouging” verbal attacks is a ploy by autocratic politicians to take control of your bottom line in order to make them and their governing policies look good.
For, government will never accept responsibility for the high prices created with its enormous spending and dollar printing. The Fed has printed an incredible amount of money to buy the debt the US Treasury issues. And every time it does it expands the money supply, devalues the dollar, and drives up interest rates and inflation.
But, it’s the “price-gouging grocers” — as Team Harris would have you believe — and not the excessive government spending.
Remember: Vice President Harris cast the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) which increased inflation of prices.
Joe Biden said, at a New Mexico fundraiser, that “[The Inflation Reduction Act] has nothing to do with inflation.” “It has to do with the $368 billion, the single-largest investment in climate change anywhere in the world.”
Price-gouging? That is what Biden-Harris economics have done to all of us with their policies.
Since Biden took office, prices have risen nearly 20 percent, a number that, when checked against stagnant wage growth, puts the real effect of inflation at some of the worst levels we’ve seen in decades. Inflation is often described as the “hidden tax” because it takes away purchasing power from citizens not through taking away money directly but via a devaluation of the money that citizens already have.
One of the major stressors for families is cost of living. From a recent report issued by the surgeon general:
Over the last decade, parents have been consistently more likely to report experiencing high levels of stress compared to other adults. 33% of parents reporting high levels of stress in the past month compared to 20% of other adults. When stress is severe or prolonged, it can have a harmful effect on the mental health of parents and caregivers, which in turn also affects the well- being of the children they raise.
The report, in general, mentions several stress-inducing factors including “financial strain and economic instability.” It doesn’t mention the price-gouging inflation caused by the Biden-Harris regime. It just talks about more government solutions.
(Aren’t laws that impose an increase in the minimum wage also “price-gouging”? Labor costs are passed on to the customer.)
Not hard to imagine the major stress created by the Not Trump president.

Imagine. You are watching a debate and your choice of presidential candidate, the current Vice President, is asked, “Do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?” and she responds saying, “I was raised as a middle-class kid.”
(BTW: Harris was raised by two parents with PhDs and lived in a well-off neighborhood.)
~~~
Imagine. You are at an Economic Club of Pittsburgh event that is hosting the Vice President. She is there to talk about her economic agenda and says:
“We need to guard that spirit. We have to guard that spirit. Let it always inspire us. Let it always be the source of our optimism, which is that spirit that is uniquely American. Let that then inspire us by helping us to be inspired to solve the problems that so many face, including our small business owners.”

Imagine. Our “serious thinker” Vice President as President and she can’t explain her economic policies because she doesn’t understand economics (only how to repeat ideological jargon) and “wholistically” speaks Kamalawocky:
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen I am the walrus, goo-goo g’joob
Imagine Not Trump in a room with world leaders.
“I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her, and I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.”
Imagine a candidate for president who hasn’t released any tax policies. The candidate’s s New Way Forward is based on tax provisions in Biden’s 2025 budget proposal, which include a tax on unrealized capital gains, as reported in Axios, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal .
As proposed, the UCG tax applies only to individuals with at least $100 million in wealth who do not pay at least a 25% tax rate on their income (inclusive of unrealized capital gains). There are exemptions. Basically, it would not apply to the holdings of most startup founders or investors or on real estate based on certain conditions.
But nothing happens in isolation.
Certainly, a more complex tax code would burden the IRS (and likely encourage more tax money for the IRS) and would discourage investment in growing businesses. Many would invest in safer financial instruments such as government bonds rather than in risky new technology and innovation (energy sources, biopharmaceuticals, etc.) that produce great benefits.
Florida Atlantic University College of Business professor Siri Terjesen wrote in July 2024 that the UCG tax would act like a “kill-switch for entrepreneurship.” She said that “Investors may be less likely to invest in growth-oriented ventures due to greater swings in valuation compared to larger, established companies.”
The new tax on unrealized gains could hasten the selling of assets by investors for tax reasons rather than legitimate business reasons.
The new tax would penalize individuals for owning assets that appreciate, regardless of whether those assets are sold.
Behind the money grab is the argument that tax-free accumulation of wealth over generations intensifies income-and-wealth disparities in the U.S. (When government takes control of people’s wealth and plays favorites, the income-and-wealth disparity is exacerbated.)
It’s not hard to imagine that the Not Trump candidate’s administration, by taxing the “paper” gains, the unrealized gains of the top 0.01% of taxpayers in the country, will not use that tax revenue to pay off the enormous budget deficit but will instead, redistribute the money for “votes.”

Flooding small American towns with a diaspora from the most violent, economically deprived nation in the Western Hemisphere is, for the Democrats, the best answer to economic stagnation in Middle America.
Imagine. The 2024 Democratic presidential nominee and current Vice President claimed during a debate that, “There is not one member of the military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world for the first time this century.”
Was she not aware of “war zone” troops currently deployed?
The Biden-Harris regime did recklessly withdraw from the major Afghanistan War in August 2021. But there are U.S. troops stationed across the Middle East and other countries, mostly in counter-terrorism roles, according to a December 2023 White House War Powers Act report.
Thousands of U.S. troops remain in harm’s way. Hundreds have been under attack this year alone. Three died in January.
Imagine a Not Trump president who supports censorship.
So far, Ms. Harris and Mr. Biden have said absolutely nothing about this attack on free speech in Brazil, and now we likely know why: they approve of it.
This video clip below is proof that Kamala Harris would support Brazil’s nationwide ban on X. And if you don’t think the same could happen here, you haven’t been paying attention.
Kamala supports what Brazil just did to X. How do I know? She wants to do it here: pic.twitter.com/nb4QXRiI9v
Finally, imagine the Not Trump candidate as Lemony Snicket’s failed actor Count Olaf and the New Way Forward as a series of very burdened by what has been unfortunate events. Imagine the transformation of America into a one-party socialist oligarchy. Imagine yourself as a serf in your own country all because of Not Trump.

Michael Walsh Exposes the Corporate Media
Host Scot Bertram talks with Paul Moreno, the William and Berniece Grewcock Chair in Constitutional History, professor of history, and dean of social sciences at Hillsdale College, about Kamala Harris’s proposed reforms to the U.S. Supreme Court. Michael Walsh, journalist and screenwriter, discusses the dangers of the evolving media landscape and his new book Against the Corporate Media: Forty-two Ways the Press Hates You. And Elizabeth Edwards Spalding, ’88, chairman of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation and founding director of the Victims of Communism Museum, tells us about her work and accepting Hillsdale College’s 2024 Elizebeth Smith Friedman Freedom Award.
DANA BASH: “You’ve been Vice President for three and half years. The steps that you are talking about now, why haven’t you done them already?” KAMALA: “I’m very proud of the work we have done.”
Everyone knows where the very public and transparent Trump stands on issues. Democrats know and are doing everything they can to keep Trump out of the White House. And it is not because of his personality or his past immoral peccadillos, or because he poses a “threat to Democracy!” No.
Donald J Trump is a threat to the status quo of the Blob – a clandestine network of members of the federal government, working in conjunction with financial, industrial, media, and social media entities and leaders, to exercise power alongside with and apart from the elected United States government.
(That is the “Russia Russia Russia!” (and many others) deception-generating Blob, that I am referring to, that is focused on taking out Trump and retaining Blob power.
More than 700 deep state security and military officials have officially endorsed Kamala Harris for president, claiming that former President Donald J. Trump “endangers” democratic ideals, ironically as Harris was never democratically nominated by her party. (Emphasis mine.)
Trump has openly talked about bursting that foul blister to save the country, its citizens, the Constitution, the Supreme Court, and Democracy! And that’s why Blob parasites continue, even after a second attempt on his life, to call Trump a “threat to Democracy.” They hope that someone listening to Blob media and deep-state prepped will take him out by any means necessary. They want to continue feeding on America.
In a shocking and dangerously irresponsible move, the Harris/Biden DOJ put out a letter showing there’s a $150k active bounty on President Trump’s head. Why would they release something like this right after yet another assassination attempt? Most would say it’s because they’re absolutely desperate to take him out before Election Day
That is the “Russia Russia Russia!” (and many others) deception-generating Blob, that I am referring to, all meant to smear Trump and retain Blob power.
So far, Trump has dodged bullets and Kamala has dodged interviews.
Where does the blob/Democratic party’s second basement candidate stand on the issues?
What did we learn about the Blob’s amorphous candidate during the Tuesday, Sept. 10 ABC presidential three-against-one debate?
Kamala said things that were not true and wasn’t fact-checked. Trump, on the other hand was interrupted over and over and “fact-checked” – not with facts but with the Blob media’s skewed talking points. That’s how the totally biased and condescending ABC moderators rolled. The purulent matter of the Blob media seeped out. The biggest loser in Tuesday night’s presidential debate was ABC News. No Debate About It.
The public is exhausted after a decade of chronic untruth from the left wing and its media.
There was no newfound knowledge about the Blob’s hand puppet. There was a lot of coached mannerisms that reminded me of the Blob’s snarky media hosts.
If you switched off the sound for the ABC debate Tuesday night and just watched the images, you would come away feeling deep distaste for the haughty flibbertigibbet who kept making faces while Trump was speaking.
American writer, social critic, public speaker, and blogger James Howard Kunstler, in his brief Substack post What You Don’t Know Might Surprise You, writes about Hollywood influence shoring up Kamala and comments on the debate: “everything she said was disingenuous or an outright lie.”
And then he flags the debate “whopper”: an admission by Kamala Harris regarding her whereabouts on J6 when a “joint session of Congress was about to certify her as the first female veep in US history.”
“. . .at 11:15a.m. on 1/6/21 — hours before protesters breached the Capitol — Kamala Harris was spirited away a few blocks to 430 South Capitol Street, the headquarters building of the Democratic National Committee, where a pipe bomb (or facsimile of one) had been planted hours before by some DC law enforcement person.”
Kunstler explains why:
“The plan, you see, was to disrupt the election certification process underway at mid-day in the House chamber by creating a furor over the discovery of the pipe bomb planted to assassinate veep-elect Kamala Harris — a joint blob / Democratic Party operation.”
To further the J6 and “threat to Democracy” ruse by the Blob, a recent August 2, 2024 article was posted:
Vice President Kamala Harris came within 20 feet of a pipe bomb at the Democratic National Committee headquarters on Jan. 6, 2021.
Kunstler goes on to say that the pipe bomb hoax wasn’t needed. Deep state actors – FBI instigators – stoked the J6 crowd into disrupting the procedure. (Unarmed Ashli Babbitt was murdered that day by capital police officer Michael Byrd.)
You won’t hear about any of this from the MSM or in your “higher education” bubble where discernment and wisdom are denied admission. Darren Beattie at Revolver has done extensive investigative research on the pipe bomb hoax: You searched for pipe bomb – Revolver News
The debate between President Trump and Kamala Harris was a complete nothingburger for her. She didn’t go in and wow anyone or change any hearts and minds. All she really proved is that she’s running on “vibes.” Kamala is banking on feelings and emotions because she’s got nothing when it comes to actual policies. And what little she has to show is a track record of failure and hopelessness.
What isn’t a nothing burger: Democrats, the “Save Democracy” party, is setting us up for another stolen election with reports that election results will take time to count, and, of course, with the influx of illegal immigrants being set up to vote as if they were U.S. citizens and had skin in the game.
But when Trump wins reelection, Democrats will provoke civil war.
If there is a Democrat majority in the house this next election, Trump’s reelection will not be certified on January 6th 2025. Democrats will claim (falsely) that he is an insurrectionist. A conspiracy theory? No. The “Save Democracy” Party is very open about this.
Jamie Raskin is saying that congress will STOP Trump from taking office even if he’s chosen by the voters.
This is extremely dangerous. Every Democrat needs to be on the record about this immediately. pic.twitter.com/9IwRoGrrQu
[Jamie] Raskin then suggested that there would be “civil war conditions” and that Congress would “need bodyguards for everybody.” The Democrat lawmaker claimed that civil war conditions and bodyguards would be necessary because the Supreme Court justices “simply do not want to do their job and interpret what the great Fourteenth Amendment means.”
I have no doubt that Trump will win reelection and I have no doubt that the Democrats will not certify his reelection. Never Trumpers and Evangelicals for Harris, who cast their vote for Kamala, will have to lie to themselves again to be OK with the loss of Democracy and the takeover of the country.
When the takeover happens, we will not have a legitimate government. No debate about it.
As a result, there will massive civil unrest. The dollars in your pocket, your bank account and retirement accounts will lose most of their value. The fiat U.S. dollar is backed, not by gold, but by the full faith and trust in the government that issued it. Faith and trust will be blown away by the illegitimate government. No other country will want to deal with the dollar.
Right now, BRIC nations, “a Russia- and China-led consortium has apparently settled on using gold as the basis of a planned new international currency system separate from the US dollar and euro.”
The stock market will likely crash 50% (hurting retirement accounts) and Marshall law will then be imposed by the “Save Democracy” party. Everyone needs to prepare for what is coming. Right now, make sure that America First republicans are elected to the house so that there is majority to protect against the “fundamental transformation” plans of Democrats.
More on this in a future post.

Analysis of the Trump-Harris Debate:

I know someone who was given the antidepressant Zoloft – a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) – during a time of going through a divorce. The drug was making her so lethargic that she didn’t care about anything. So, she stopped taking it. Then she crashed and became severely depressed. She didn’t want to go on with life like that. She found help.
Big Mike started the victimization rhetoric during the 2008 presidential campaign – until David Axelrod had her stop. Here’s Big Mike at the recent DNC doing it again:
“The old man nodded. “Those who don’t build must burn. It’s as old as history and juvenile delinquents.””
-Faber to Guy Montag, in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451
Despite our country needing to be unburdened by what has been the last three-and-a half years, the Democratic party, caretaker of decline, is foisting Kamala Harris upon the nation. Burning it all down needed a smiley facelift.
Put another way: to show its continued disdain and hatred of all things American, including you, me, and democracy, the Democratic party – the party of “preachy women”, of soy boys and the apron-string attached, of suborned reality, of thrusting men into women’s spaces, of censorship, show trials, cheating and “Democracy!”, of celebrity hype, and wealth transfer by any means necessary including war and green policies, of record inflation, of smash and grab, of masks and mandates, of open borders, fentanyl deaths and favoring criminals over victims – has, in furtive fashion, nominated the failed border and broadband czar and socialist to be their Maduro for president.
This is the same party that allowed sinister Hillary Clinton to rob presidential candidate socialist Bernie Sanders of the Democratic nomination that now anoints zero-votes socialist Kamala Harris, once the most liberal senator in Congress, to be their DEI hire in the White House.
The same party that told us that the 2020 election wasn’t stolen just stole the 2024 nomination from their own party member.
Victor Davis Hanson writes on X: Democracy Really Is Dying in Darkness—But by Whom?
Never in modern presidential history has a political party staged a veritable inside coup to remove their current president from his ongoing candidacy for his party’s nomination and reelection.
Stranger still, the very elites and grandees, who now are using every imaginable means of deposing Biden as their nominee, are the very public voices that just weeks ago insisted that candidate Biden was “sharp as a tack” and “fit as a fiddle.” And they damned any who thought otherwise! . . .
So, to make sense of what these self-appointed and sanctimonious protectors of democracy are trying to pull off demands an Orwellian vocabulary—memory hole, newspeak, unperson, and groupthink.
Kamala Harris: “Unburdened by what has been” – an Indian-American past
Kamala ‘Chameleon‘ Harris has become opportunistically black to suit her political purposes.
Paul Gottfried writes, in What ‘Black’ Really Means to the Left, that “Part of what now defines blackness is holding leftist political views.” And, . . .
The larger point made by [Miranda] Devine and by Matt Boose on at Chronicles is of course correct. Kamala Harris has no fixed identity other than her career as a leftist minority celebrity-victim, the details of which she’s been free to change with media assistance. In this respect, she’s like Al Sharpton, the Obamas, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and other media darlings, who have been able to change their stands or obliterate no longer useful aspects of their past, with lots of outside help.
No DEI here:
Vivek on Kamala's Heritage:
"Many Indian-Americans in the US are indeed somewhat offended by the way Kamala has suddenly cast aside the Indian-American side of identity… She wore that when it was convenient. She's wearing a different identity now." pic.twitter.com/Si7Pzk7zRJ
Now, with the border as a top election issue, the media is scrambling to change the narrative. They’re pushing the claim that Kamala was never officially appointed ‘border czar.’ Unfortunately for them, the internet remembers everything.
Kamala Harris: “Unburdened by what has been” – a Broadband Czar Position
Kamala was put in charge of the broadband distribution and she opted to do nothing, apparently to protect her image. She must have known she would fail.
Joe Biden tapped Kamala Harris to serve as the rural broadband czar in 2021. Part of her task was overseeing the implementation of a $42 billion program to connect Americans in rural and remote parts of the country to the Internet. According to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) member Brendan Carr, however, after almost 1,000 days, not a single person has actually been connected to the web. (Emphasis mine.)
As polls show America’s young men are lurching rightward at a rapid pace, the Democratic brand has finally evolved into the party of scolding shrews, nagging Karens and “preachy females,” as Dem dinosaur James Carville calls them.
Its image is tied to a type of unserious, self-involved, neurotic, dogmatic Dem-fem who insists on telling you her pronouns and whose highest goal is abortion on demand right up until the moment of birth.
And there’s more Kringe . . .
The Kamala Harris rally in Atlanta yesterday couldn’t have been more ghetto.
Black people, the democrats have had a choke hold on us for too long. They’ve done nothing for the black community other than pander.
Team Kamala is showing its desperate true colors. Kamala in such bad shape that she’s now begging for white votes. Recently, they launched a cringeworthy “White Dudes for Harris” campaign featuring out-of-touch elites and effeminate poofs gushing over Kamala. It went about as well as you’d expect and spawned a plethora of hilarious online memes. . .
This time, it’s “White Women for Harris,” and they’ve got a real doozy heading up this cringe fest. Enter Arielle Fodor, arguably the most insufferable human being on the planet, who is, of course, the voice of the “White Women for Harris” campaign.
“As white women we need to use our privilege to make positive changes.”

Columnist Camilla Long, despite being unfriendly to former President Donald J. Trump, bemoans the way “All [Harris’s] faults, flaws, back story are now also being hastily tidied away, as [Joe] Biden’s were; the snafus, word salads, ‘border tsar’ errors drowned out.”
“This is the first true AI election: synthetic candidates are magicked up almost out of nowhere, suddenly given huge projection, campaigns, ready-made armies of Twitter followers. They’re mere products,” Long argues.
Less than 300 people are in attendance to see Kamala and Gov. Shapiro. The capacity of the Wissahickon H.S. auditorium is 3,500 people.
Data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the Biden-Harris government is continuing to replace native-born American workers with immigrant labor entering the country both legally and illegally. Over the last year, native-born Americans have seen total job losses hit 1.2 million. Meanwhile, foreign-born employment has risen by 1.3 million jobs. (Emphasis mine.)
The Joe Biden–Kamala Harris government has halted a controversial program allowing up to 30,000 migrants per month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. legally through so-called parole powers. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed the suspension after an internal report uncovered significant fraud in sponsor applications.
While [Biden-Harris] policies have resulted in a steep rise in the price of energy over the past few years, they absolutely pale in comparison to what Kamala Harris would have in store should she become the next president of the United States.
Like most of her Democrat colleagues, Kamala Harris clearly believes that climate change is an “existential threat.” However, her policy agenda to combat climate change makes her far more radical than President Biden, and most other Democrats.
Pay no attention to the sky-high interest ratesmaking home ownership unaffordable or the sky-high inflation that has doubled the cost of basic necessities. So what if the average person’s paycheck barely covers monthly gas and grocery bills?Presidential hopeful Kamala Harris identifies as a female “person of color.” She is a shiny object that should help everyone forget about personal financial troubles. (Emphasis mine.)
Kamala Harris once said a "70% to 80% tax rate" and saying "every car should be eliminated in the next 11 years" are "bold ideas that should be discussed" 🥴 pic.twitter.com/ATHOuLLk78
To overwhelm the system, law and order must be destroyed and replaced with government handouts to pacify the masses. To wit:
Harris said in the June radio interview the movement “rightly” called out the amount of money spent on police departments instead of community services such as education, housing, and healthcare, emphasizing that more police did not equate to more public safety.
Vice President Kamala Harris toured a Planned Parenthood clinic in Minnesota on Thursday, becoming what is believed to be the first president or vice president ever to visit a clinic that provides abortion services in U.S. history.
It’s easy to mock word-salad Kamala Harris. Her mind on Marxist, Maoist and Green isms has become mush, her talk, spoonsful of regurgitated pablum. But with such an otherworldly aura she maintains the charisma of a feisty radical in the minds of suburban women who take in MSNBC, CNN, the NYT and WaPo for their daily groupthink.
Let’s not forget: Kamala was put in charge of the border and she did what the basically lazy Marxists of a Cloward-Piven mindset do: She sat back and let things collapse into crisis to overwhelm the system and aggregate power to the state and to herself thereby leading to the complete control of citizens through Socialism/Communism and control of outcomes. She’s a proud communist.
Kamala Harris explains to voters why she's a proud Communist.

Despite our country needing to be unburdened by what has been the last three-and-a half years, the Democratic party, caretakers of America’s decline, is not only foisting Kamala Harris upon the nation, it is also fostering division and hate.
The same Democrats, always reading from the same script, who recently called Joe Biden sharp as a tack and Kamala Harris dynamic and transformative, want their minions to believe that people who are not of their exclusive tribe are “weird”.

This from the party that gave us ‘What is a woman?’ Ketanji Brown Jackson.
This from the party that pushes DEI, the run-amok spawn of racist affirmative action, but now views it like a “scarlet letter” that Kamala shouldn’t be forced to wear. Yet, she, and justice Ketanji Jackson Brown, don’t seem to mind being a “DEI hire” for Joe Biden and the Dems.
This from the party Miranda Devine describes: Its [Mean Girl] image is tied to a type of unserious, self-involved, neurotic, dogmatic Dem-fem who insists on telling you her pronouns and whose highest goal is abortion on demand right up until the moment of birth.
This from the party that wants Kamala Harris to be geo-strategist leader of the free world
KAMALA — UNSCRIPTED FOR THE FIRST TIME:
"This is just an extraordinary testament to the importance of having a president who understands the power of diplomacy and understands the strength that rests in understanding the significance of diplomacy."
This is the most crucial time in our country’s history. Should the ship of state be piloted by someone whose only competence is that she plays to perfection her role as prom queen placeholder for radical Leftist policies?
It’s time for America to grow up and to stop playing with DEI Barbie.

‘Shepherds for Sale’ by Megan Basham | National Review
A vicious, conniving, immoral, unpopular, third-rate politician with extreme radical views has come to within an inch of the presidency. Kamala Harris could be sitting in the Oval Office as soon as next week. She is far from the best America has to offer. “In a functioning meritocracy,” said Tucker Carlson, “Kamala Harris would be a C-list massage therapist working out of a strip mall. Yet somehow she became our vice president. How’d that happen?”
I’ve been reading a lot of realist fiction lately but I can’t ignore the grim reality of the hatred directed at Americans by the Left. This hatred is manifested with tactics no different than the “irregular warfare” used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to impose its will:
Elsa Kania, an adjunct fellow with the Technology and National Security Program at the Center for a New American Security writes in a 2016 China Brief article about The PLA’s Latest Strategic Thinking on the Three Warfares. She says that “the application of the three warfares is intended to control the prevailing discourse and influence perceptions in a way that advances China’s interests, while compromising the capability of opponents to respond.”
She goes on to describe the three non-kinetic warfares and their functions:
2015 Science of Military Strategy:
The [2015 National Defense University (NDU) SMS] provides an overview of public opinion warfare, psychological warfare, and legal warfare and guidance regarding their implementation. According to the text, public opinion warfare involves using public opinion as a weapon by propagandizing through various forms of media in order to weaken the adversary’s “will to fight” (战斗意志), while ensuring strength of will and unity among civilian and military views on one’s own side. Psychological warfare seeks to undermine an adversary’s combat power, resolve, and decision-making, while exacerbating internal disputes to cause the enemy to divide into factions (阵营). Legal warfare envisions use of all aspects of the law, including national law, international law, and the laws of war, in order to secure seizing “legal principle superiority” (法理优势) and delegitimize an adversary. Each of the three warfares operates in the perceptual domain (认知领域) and relies upon information for its efficacy. (Emphasis mine.)
These tactics look very familiar. “Irregular warfare”, employed with aggression and deceit (“Force and fraud are the cardinal virtues of war.” –Hobbes), are at work in the Left’s attack on Americans. We are all well aware of one assault close to home.
During COVID (the spread of the China virus) we were subjected to the coordinated force of propaganda to influence and control public opinion. There was propagandizing through various forms of media in order to weaken the adversary’s “will to fight” against what we were told to believe.
There was also the psychological balkanizing that divided the nation into those who “follow the science” and “science deniers” and the “vaxxed” and “anti-vax”.
And there was the legal warfare of COVID mandates that put people in jail or quarantines and closed churches and businesses and put people out of work if not vaxxed. All done to delegitimize an adversary to what we were told to obey.
We were subjected to coordinated fraud in the messaging about the (flu-like) virus’ transmission and effects and the effectiveness of the COVID vaccine and the efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin. Multiple doctors and epidemiologists who spoke out against the narrative were silenced in the media and elsewhere. Force was used to stifle criticism and to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to “the science” and the purveyors of “the science”, the Left’s medical-pharmaceutical industrial complex (Anthony Fauci, Francis Collins, CDC, NIH, big pharma et al.).
Each of the Left’s three warfares employed during COVID operated in the “perceptual domain and relied upon [the control of] information for its effectiveness.”
We continue to be subjected to the Left’s three-fold attack with the “force and fraud” climate crisis narrative. Public opinion is being swayed by climate crisis propaganda: “We need to act now to avoid catastrophe.” “Irregular warfare” is being used against fossil fuels, LNG, agriculture, and anyone who opposes the Left’s narrative.
The fact that nuclear power, a carbon-free and a safe energy source that can produce huge amounts of reliable electricity, is not mentioned by the Left should be an indicator that climate is not an issue – controlling you is. (There is no climate crisis. See video below.)
We continue to be subjected to the Left’s “irregular warfare” with its fraudulent narrative of Trump as a threat to “Democracy”. The apoplectic Left, desiring to influence and control public opinion, wants to put the fear of Trump into their viewers and readers. The want viewers and readers to hate Trump.
The psychological warfare element of this attack includes exacerbating internal disputes to cause the enemy – the Right – to divide into factions. Hence, the Left will showcase never -Trumpers like David French to speak against Trump.
The third element of the Left’s threefold “irregular warfare” is used to “delegitimize an adversary.” This is the reason for the lawfare being waged against Donald Trump. The Left is desperate. They have tried unsuccessfully to keep him off the ballot. They have sought to disqualify him. They are seeking to bankrupt him. The Left will use any means necessary to take down Trump through “legal warfare.”
“It’s becoming increasingly difficult to deny that we have a legal system now that is being heavily distorted by politics and you cannot look at all of these cases and see blind justice, you see the opposite,” Turley told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow, a former Trump administration official. “You see a justice that is being weaponized, and in many ways the Democrats fulfill the narrative of President Trump. He is now right. No matter what they thought about it at the beginning, they proved him to be right with this pile-on from Florida to Georgia, to Washington, D.C., to New York and most of the public gets it.”
The Left’s MSNBC and CNN and the NYT and WaPo and other media outlets of their ilk are so afraid that Trump will win in November that they are pulling out all the stops. They accuse Trump of promoting a lie (the stolen 2020 election) and calling illegals “animals” (Trump was talking about the murderer of Laken Riley). They will 24/7 you with “Trump is a threat to Democracy and our way of life. We will all become victims if Trump is elected (and blah blah blah).”
We continue to be subjected to the Left’s public opinion influence and psychological warfare via its constant fear-mongering. The Left conjures up end-of-the-world narratives, whether of COVID, climate, Trump or of people who don’t buy what they are selling.
Those who are taken in by Left don’t understand that they are targets of two elements of “irregular warfare”: influence of public opinion and psychological warfare. One reason they buy in is that the legal warfare component is directed at Trump and anyone connected with him. Another reason may be how they feel about the Left’s talking points: “I love the way you lie.”
A key component of the Left’s warfare against Americans is balkanization. The Left seeks to divide us into warring factions. There are those in the media who delight in dividing us rather than uniting us. They live for this. It is how they gain their power, their influence and their money. It is how they destroy America. As Jesus knew to be true, “if a kingdom is divided in two it can’t last.”
And so it is that the above media outlets present authors who foster division by writing that white Americans and Christian Nationalists (whatever they are) are a dangerous threat to “Democracy!”
The Left, to “delegitimize an adversary”, wants to put the fear of whites and of Christians who love their country into their viewers and readers – as if hating them along with Trump was a necessary condition for protecting “Democracy!”
Progressive Wallis was on MSNBC promoting his platitudes and inviting all who can be persuaded to reject and help dismantle a false gospel that propagates white supremacy and autocracy . . . and Christian Nationalism (whatever that is)
One Amazon commenter on White Rural Rage wrote something that applies to both books: “This book helps to explain the startling divide in America by showing just how profoundly uninterested such people are in understanding or accepting the views of anyone who does not accord with their own orthodoxy and must therefore be dismissed as anti-democratic.”
Waldman and Schaller portray rural people as passive, unthinking agents in the democratic process. Though “rage” features prominently in their title, they use the word fewer than ten times in the text, and only to belabor their claim that Republican leaders intentionally manufactured rural voters’ anger, as though these Americans would not be concerned about their situations without external manipulation.
“In an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, [author Tom] Schaller gave this unvarnished assessment of the rage he sees overflowing in the heartland. Rural whites, he said, are “the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay geo-demographic group in the country.” He called them, “the most conspiracist group,” “anti-democratic,” “white nationalist and white Christian nationalists.” On top of that, rural whites are also “most likely to excuse or justify violence as an acceptable alternative to peaceful public discourse . . .
“But the thing about rage — I’ve never found it.
“The problem with this “rage” thesis is much larger than the fact that my research, and that of others, is being misinterpreted and misunderstood. What the authors are getting wrong about rural America is exactly what many Democrats have been getting wrong for decades — and appear to be doing so again in this critical presidential election year.”
The following is my response to the red meat those authors threw to the ravenous Left:
When spoken of from the High Chairs of Hubris and Condescension, those of us who love God and our family and our country and not what proceeds from the mouths of the elites are not just called “bitter clingers” and “deplorable”. We are called “extremists.” We are called every name in the Left’s style book. And therefore, more force and fraud are needed to be applied. Hence the shaming books of the fellow traveler intelligentsia.
One would think that loving God, loving your family and loving your country would be all good. But the Left hates all that. Leftist elites love themselves and the sound of their condescension.
How far will the Left go? Students of history know. History tells us that the Left will use any means necessary, including injustice, famine, show trials, gulags, and murder to get their way. How far did the Left go this week?
JUST IN: 'Praying grandma' Rebecca Lavrenz has reportedly been found guilty by a DC jury after she briefly entered the Capitol on J6.
Glad to see our 'justice system' going after some "hard-hitting criminals."
The Biden regime just convicted a 71-year-old great-grandmother on federal misdemeanor charges for entering the Capitol more than three years ago for ten minutes.
“Without God, there’s no justice.” -71-year-old great-grandmother Rebecca Lavrenz who faces four federal misdemeanor charges for entering the Capitol more than three years ago during the Fedsurrection. She spent about 10 minutes inside.
Wearing a red scarf and a white hat to the rally, which she said she attended by herself, Lavrenz encountered a group of people praying outside the Capitol, and she joined them for about an hour and a half.
“It was a patriotic, joyful time to be around so many people who love their country,” she said. “I felt a strong presence of the spirt of God fall over me, and I started crying.”
At one point, she took the microphone to speak about a document that became known as the 1620 Mayflower Compact. Included in the agreement that pilgrims had signed before they set foot on American soil was that the country would be dedicated to the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith.
“My mission in life is to know God and make his ways known and restore the country back to its godly foundation,” Lavrenz said. “Without God, there’s no justice.”
This post is meant to alert you to the Left’s three-pronged warfare directed at Americans. There is more that could be said, but there is enough here, I believe, for the reader to understand the hatred directed at us.
I haven’t even mentioned the Biden inflation and the cost of living or how hard it will be for our children to buy a house and property because of the human-hating financial policies of the Left.
I haven’t even mentioned that the Biden regime’s human-hating open border policy will drive wages down for minorities and put Americans out of work. It is a policy that allows in deadly fentanyl and deadly gangs and deadly terrorists and deadly diseases to kill people. You won’t hear or see any of this from Rachel Maddow. All you’ll hear from her is “orange man bad.”
The Left hates us. And so does the Satan.

I see the Left – its hatred and evil schemes – depicted in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy. Having control and imposing its will are essential to the Left, as in the story. Violence, mental and physical, are their means.
In the novels Dr. Peter Teleborian is the psychiatrist at St. Stefan’s Psychiatric Clinic for Children. Teleborian is a sadist who abuses his patients.
The child Lisbeth Salander was committed to St. Stefan’s after she tried to kill her evil father for beating and raping her mother. While in the clinic Teleborian kept Lisbeth strapped down each night for over a year and tried to force feed her psychiatric drugs. Salander later described him as the most evil man she ever met.
Lisbeth is later released from the clinic and put under guardianship. Her guardian suffers a heart attack and she is given another legal guardian – Nils Bjurman.
At their second meeting Bjurman informs Salander that she has to give over access to all of her bank accounts. Her first guardian Palmgren allowed her to control her own finances but Bjurman wants to control every aspect of her life.
Bjurman, to prove who’s in charge, molests her and forces her to pleasure him sexually. Because of her previous problems with the police, Lisbeth decides to take matters into her own hands. At their next meeting, she comes prepared with a hidden video camera. But, to her horror and dismay, she realizes she has misjudged Bjurman; he attacks and brutally rapes her.
Then The Section, an ultra-secret division of the government that reports to no one, tries to have Lisbeth recommitted to Dr. Teleborian’s clinic. This was to be done to protect the members of The Section. Dr. Teleborian is assigned by The Section to write a false report about Lisbeth Salander.
The Section harbored and protected the evil Zalachenko, ex-Russian spy who defected to Sweden. Alexander Zalachenko is Lisbeth’s abusive father.
We later learn that Dr. Teleborian kept thousands of child porn photos on his laptop. He is arrested during Lisbeth’s trial.
Looking at the nature of the people on the Left and their way of doing things with the caveat “for your own good”, it is easy for me to see similarities to the evil characters above.

They hate you. They hate your children. “Irregular warfare” is being waged in our public schools:
Public school “experts” are trashing traditional education in virtue and citizenship in favor of victimhood and dependency. The inheritance of Western Civilization has been officially discarded by irresponsible intellectuals, determined to advance their “progressive” ideologies. These ideologies, pushing kids to discover “their own truths,” are generally varieties of “subjectivism” or “relativism.” Critical theory deliberately undercuts our natural commonsense, the shared foundation of a free society, by teaching children that their homes, communities, and even their own physiology are their worst enemies, the foes of their real identities. Ideologues do this by “reducing” our natural experience of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty to “no more than” materialistic “animal instincts” (Modernism), that then give rise to oppressive “social constructs” (Postmodernism), and, presto, an epidemic of anxiety.
They hate you. The Open Border Means Open Season on You – thanks to gov’t paid NGOs like Catholic Charities and others; thanks to Mayorkas and Democrats in need of votes who ignore what is happening.

If you allow people from all over the world to come here by the millions in violation of our laws, you make no effort to screen them for infectious diseases and you push them into our largest population centers, you are going to see outbreaks of disease. People are going to die. The health of all Americans is going to be negatively impacted.
That’s exactly what is happening now. U.S. cases of tuberculosis, a deadly infectious disease have soared to their highest level in a decade, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). After 27 years of declining tuberculosis rates in the United States, cases of the disease started to climb again in 2020. They have continued to rise every year since.
2024. What does it mean when Americans vote for the destruction of their country? For the destruction of their own children through abortion?
If you consume what is fed from the above media outlets you may be living in a bubble the Left has created for you. You won’t see the destruction of civil society and justice within our land. You will learn, instead, to blame Trump and those on the right for problems.
The following is from a statement from Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, “on the scandalous proclamation of March 31 as ‘Transgender visibility day’ by ‘president’ Joe Biden.”
All humanity is awakening from a slumber that has lasted far too long:
-the lives of the innocent are threatened by abortion, euthanasia, manipulation, and abuse;
-the health of citizens is deliberately compromised by experimental serums revealed to be a biological weapon of population decimation;
-the total moral corruption of the top echelons of civil authority, enslaved to criminal lobbies in a global coup, is now evident;
-the increasingly arrogant display of Satan worship by the media and the world of culture and entertainment show us a world awash in execrable perversions that cry out to Heaven for vengeance;
-the mad provocation of a world conflict claims lives in order to bury the horrendous sexual and financial scandals of a power that is now the enemy of its citizens.
They hate you. The Left’s medical-pharmaceutical industry’s reign of terror:
Multiple laboratory studies now confirm that Pfizer’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccine is heavily contaminated with plasmid DNA. The latest analysis finds that one dose of the Pfizer vaccine typically contains over 200 billion DNA fragments. These DNA fragments can incorporate into the DNA of the vaccinated individual and interfere with the expression of oncogenes and tumor suppression genes. This DNA contamination has cancer implications for millions of people who were manipulated to take part in this biowarfare experiment. (Emphasis mine.)
Small chains and mom-and-pop businesses simply can’t compete. Larger chains raised prices but have also been forced to reduce employees and labor costs through automation, but the layoffs are just getting started.
If your situational awareness is well-tuned, you can put together a political weather report from the swirl of events that otherwise seem to confound the degenerate simps who pretend to report the news. Events are tending in the direction of self-reinforcing, ramifying chaos, and the people running the show are obviously insane as they do everything possible to hurry chaos along.

Imagine creating something significant and you make it public it and it is well-received. Then, State media (MSNBC and the NYT for example) pans it and you are declared an “enemy of Democracy.” The self-expression born of your life’s work, your name, and your personhood are to be eclipsed – blackened – by an authoritarian enforcement of new cultural norms. You are to be held hostage artistically and, if you do not conform, literally.
You realize that you can either abandon your life’s work out of fear of crushing reprisals, or you find a subversive way to bring your work to the public, as did one of the greatest composers of the 20th century.
“In January 1936, after Stalin attended a performance of [Dmitri] Shostakovich’s dangerously erotic opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, there appeared the notorious Pravda editorial ‘Chaos Instead of Music’, with its threat that things could ‘end badly’ for Soviet musicians – and for Shostakovich in particular. Its unnamed author was David Zaslavsky, a well-connected Soviet journalist and propagandist. No family was left untouched by the purges. The composer’s uncle, sister, brother-in-law and mother-in-law were arrested and when his patron, Marshal Tukhachevsky, was declared an ‘enemy of the people’, it is likely that he himself was interrogated by the NKVD. The musicologist Nikolay Zhilayev, to whom Shostakovich played the second movement in May 1937, had joined the disappeared by the time of the Fifth’s Leningrad premiere on November 21, 1937.” – David Gutman, Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony: A deep dive into the best recordings | Gramophone
The opera was attacked as “muddle instead of music” in an editorial, probably written by Stalin himself, in the Communist Party newspaper, Pravda. If Shostakovich did not turn away from the “decadent” avant-garde in favor of Soviet Realism, threatened the editorial, “things could end very badly.” The popular opera disappeared from the stage overnight. One of the Soviet Union’s most prominent composers was in danger of becoming a “nonperson” just as he was reaching his artistic prime. –Timothy Judd, writing in Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony: The Unlikely Triumph of Freedom
After the vicious official attack, Shostakovich lived in constant fear. Conductor, composer, music director, and arranger Benjamin Zander, writes
Overnight the 30-year-old composer’s rapidly ascending star plummeted. He came to regard himself, and to be regarded, as a doomed man, waiting with packed bags for the secret police to take him away during the night. In fact, the police never came, but the fear of official reprisals for any displeasure which his music might occasion coloured every moment of his life after that. He was never to know freedom again, except surreptitiously in some of his music.
Knowing that at any moment the authoritarian Soviet State might find fault with his music and then imprison him and his family, Shostakovich looked for a way to continue to work within the overshadowing Stalinist system.
“Shostakovich attempted to restore himself to the good graces of the Soviet critical establishment with “a conscious attempt to create a simplified ‘Socialist realist’ style that could be acceptable both to the Party and to the intelligentsia.” (Source)
And so, knowing that his latest effort would not be accepted (written in 1936, but not publicly performed until 1961) . . .
Shostakovich withdrew the Fourth Symphony from its scheduled performance and began the composition of a fifth which had as its [imposed by the State] subtitle, ‘An artist’s practical answer to just criticism’. His intention was to reinstate himself, through this work, in the eyes of the Politburo. The Fifth Symphony did indeed do that: the first performance was a huge success. It is anything but cheerful: the first movement is dark and foreboding, the second is ironic and brittle, and the third a deep song of sorrow. However, only the message at the end was important to the Soviets, and Shostakovich knew that. The long final movement, as they heard it, climaxed in a triumphant march, a paean of praise to the Soviet State.– Benjamin Zander
Was the Fifth Symphony to be understood as essentially Stalinist? There was more to the forced empty pomp of the fourth movement than met the Politburo’s ears.
“In [Solomon Volkov’s 1979] Testimony, Shostakovich fiercely renounces all this, in particular denying that the Fifth’s finale was ever meant as the exultant thing critics took it for: “What exultation could there be? I think it is clear to everyone what happens in the Fifth. The rejoicing is forced, created under threat, as in Boris Godunov. It’s as if someone were beating you with a stick and saying, ‘Your business is rejoicing, your business is rejoicing,’ and you rise, shaky, and go marching off, muttering, ‘Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing.’ What kind of apotheosis is that? You have to be a complete oaf not to hear that.” -Samuel Lipman, writing in Shostakovich decoded? | The New Criterion (Emphasis mine.)
Was the Fifth Symphony a subversive symphonic response to Stalin, one that both mocks the dictator while bowing to him?
In the remarkable finale, Shostakovich achieves one of the greatest coups of his symphonic career: a “victorious” closer that drives home the expected message and at the same time makes an entirely different point — the real one. The resounding march that ends the movement represents the triumph of evil over good. The apparent optimism of the concluding pages is, as one colleague of the composer put it, no more than the forced smile of a torture victim as he is being stretched on the rack. (Source)
Shostakovich publicly described the new work as “a Soviet artist’s reply to just criticism.” Privately, he said (or is said to have said) that the finale was a satirical picture of the dictator, deliberately hollow but dressed up as exuberant adulation. It was well within Shostakovich’s power to present a double message in this way, and it is well beyond our means to establish whether the messages are true or false. The listener must read into this music whatever meaning may be found here; its strength and depth will allow us to revise our impressions at every hearing. (Source)
Did Shostakovich openly camouflage* a subversive message in the forced celebration of the fourth movement? The finale was not what it seemed.
“In his official comments on his symphony, Shostakovich said the following:
“”I wanted to show in my symphony how, through a series of tragic conflicts, of great internal spiritual struggle, optimism as a worldview finds its affirmation.”
“The affirmation of “optimism as a worldview” — what a grotesque phrase! Farewell, spiritual struggle! It would seem impossible to accept this account of what the music “means” — and yet this interpretation seems to have been swallowed whole by the establishment; the work was praised, and Shostakovich’s “rebirth” as an ideologically acceptable composer was complete. And, indeed — music being what it is — the symphony seems to offer no objective reason for doubting the official reception. After all, isn’t the triumph of the finale… triumphant?
“. . . if things were so straightforward, then what made Pasternak, who was in the audience at the premiere, supposedly say the following:
“”And to think that he said everything he wanted to, and nothing happened to him!””
Shostakovich, with a motif from his own Four Romances on Poems by Pushkin, Op. 46: I. Rebirth, had inserted a Pushkin reference into the fourth movement. The poem-motif attacked Stalin and his ways and went on to express that over time, his work which had been defaced, will survive even the most brutal oppression and defilement. The reference heralded his own “rebirth”, as an ideologically acceptable composer and as a resurrected artist.
Rebirth (Alexander Pushkin)
A barbarian artist, with his indolent brush, Blackens the painting of a genius, And, atop it, he senselessly traces His lawless drawing.
But, over the years, these alien layers of paint Are shed like old scales; Before us, the genius’s creation Emerges with its former beauty.
Thus do delusions vanish From my tormented soul, And in it visions arise Of primal, pristine days.
In the podcasts below, you’ll hear conductor Joshua Weilerstein explore the four movements of Shostakovich’s 5th Symphony.
* “Time and again, Tolstoy uses this technique of open camouflage. He does so, I think, so that we learn not to equate noticeability with importance and so that we acquire, bit by tiny bit, the skill of noticing what is right before us.” – Gary Saul Morson, The Moral Urgency of Anna Karenina – Commentary Magazine
~~~~~
Playing the fourth movement (Allegro Non Troppo) of Shostakovich’s 5th in high school concert band, I had no idea of the circumstances under which it had been composed – an artist threatened with suppression and persecution. I had no idea of the Pushkin reference hidden in the work. As first trumpet, all I knew was that it was a brass-forward piece of music. But now, I notice what was right before me and that has expanded my temporal bandwidth enough to see the approaching eclipse.
The barbarian artists of our day – Progressives and the Biden regime – with indolent brushes, blacken any expression, any individual, and any name that will not conform to its strictures and senselessly traces lawless drawings upon the works of truth, beauty, and goodness using the media, the administrative state, the CIA, the DOJ, and Taylor Swift.
Reason doesn’t suit the appetite of most. Artists, writers, playwrights, poets, journalists, composers, and musicians must work to subvert the approaching eclipse of humanity by the State, the WHO, the WEF, AI, transhumanism, and communism.

Here is the State eclipsing a journalist. . .
Just caught up with journalist Steve Baker just moments after being released from federal custody.@TPC4USA details what he’s had to endure at the hands of the corrupt DOJ.
Shostakovich’s life and career was so wrapped up with his relationship to the Soviet government that it is sometimes hard to appreciate that, all else aside, he was one of the great 20th century composers. His 5th symphony is the meeting point between Shostakovich’s music and the political web he was often ensnared in, and it is a piece that is still being vociferously debated. This week we’re going to tell the story of the piece’s genesis, and then we’ll explore the movements of the symphony.
Shostakovich Symphony No. 5, Part 1Shostakovich Symphony No. 5, Part 2
We are entering a season of celebrating Good News. But hold on. There are some, the same some since before 2016, who are now heralding a disastrous 2024.
Today, at the top of media’s Richter scale of catastrophic “Oh Nos!” and bumping “climate crisis” to number TWO is word of a disastrous new year as speculated in The Economist magazine article Donald Trump poses the biggest danger to the world in 2024 !!!!
To add to the hysteria known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, unhinged Joe Scarborough of MSNBC’s Morning Joe said that Trump “will end democracy as we know it.” Wow!!! What a power calculus!!
Joe, hyperbolizing on a New York Times Op-Ed [“Trump’s Dire Words Raise New Fears About His Authoritarian Bent”] went beyond calling Trump an authoritarian. He implied that Trump’s a murderous fascist: “he will imprison” “he will execute” enemies if reelected. Scarborough knows this because of “his past”. (I’d like to see those press clippings. Anyone?)
N.B.: MSNBC is where people go to completely lose all touch with reality because Orange Man Bad.
Here’s Mika man:
Joe Scarborough:
"Trump will imprison, he will execute whoever he is allowed to imprison, execute, drive from the country. Just look at his past. It’s not really hard to read.” pic.twitter.com/NC0vo48xAe
And there’s more from the ‘sound and fury, signifying nothing’ MSNBC:
“Former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that “everybody should vote for” President Joe Biden if they wanted democracy to survive.” Wow!!! Again!!!
Before we exit the land of the unhinged, there’s another unbalanced MSNBC political contributor who weighs in on Trump: former Democrat U.S. Senator of Missouri, the very rich Claire McCaskill.
McCaskill claims that Donald Trump is “even more dangerous” than dictators Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler!!! In the process of loathing Trump, McCaskill also has to mock MAGA supporters. You should know that the schtick of MSNBC contributors – our hoity-toity betters – is making their viewers feel superior to the deplorable hoi polloi.
The above insanity should tell you that the Left – Wokes, LGBTQ+ mafia, Antifa, the climate overwrought, BLM, race hustlers and all – are terrified of Trump. And they want you to be terrified of him, too. They see their world, supported by the vast administrative State that sustains their power and control over America, as threatened by Trump. For, in Trump’s next term, he will begin to pull apart the leviathan deep state apparatus that destroys Democracy and America itself.
That and the Left’s constant lawfare against Trump is an indicator to me that Trump is the right man for the job. He’s about saving what’s left of our Republic – namely, the Constitution, free speech, the right to bear arms, religious freedom, and due process which prohibits the states from depriving “any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” (14th Amendment).
The Left, on the other hand, want to abandon all that. The Left wants to seize life, liberty, and property and create a system of producing and distributing collectively owned goods via a centralized government that plans and controls the economy. The left’s economic reforms increase centralized state control to the extent that private ownership becomes virtually impossible.
See Mao’s Great Leap Forward for one example of the effects of collectivization. A Progressive’s collective communist State means that all labor, money, and production go to the State and the State determines who benefits and who must go without based on political loyalty.
And see North Korea for the Left’s brand of “Democracy!” which the braying MSNBC crew says is under threat and not because of their dictatorial ways but because of the guy who wants to keep them from their dictatorial ways.
Trump has also shown that he wants to ensure our country’s sovereignty. And that means a closed border with legal immigration. He also wants to safeguard America from another war. The Left, under the Biden regime, has shown us that open borders with constant war and anarchy are its will.
Another indicator that Trump is right for the WH job is that there are those, not just domestically but internationally, who want Trump and those around them out of the picture, e.g., Iran-linked hitmen. Trump is bothering all the right (evil) people.
Going forward, I sure don’t want someone representing me in the WH who folds or capitulates under pressure. I sure don’t want appeasers and accommodationists like members of Congress. I sure don’t want someone who, at one time in Indiana, looked the part of a respectable Christian leader but turned out to be a squish: Don’t Ever Forget That Mike Pence Threw Religious Liberty Under the Bus | National Review
Results, not presentation, earn my respect.
And though New Yorker Trump could always pick out better words and phrasing to explain his thoughts and his frustrations with the stolen 2020 election, he wasn’t chosen to be president in 2016 and 2020 and once again in 2024 because he’s a poet laureate or a pastor or a prefab politician. Trump’s a producer for the American people.
The firing-on-all cylinders low-inflation economy (before the subterfuge of COVID) and the strong dollar Trump delivered – both are being destroyed by the Biden administration’s willful neglect of the American people as are the times of peace Trump fostered.
Since the illegitimate President took office in January 2021, our southern border has been invaded. Biden-Mayorkas have allowed in (6 million +) all kinds of illegal immigrants including narco-terrorists, gangs, CCP migrants, Hamas terrorists, and more unsavory types along with fentanyl and disease. 2024 will be disastrous as the effects of the open border hit home.
Under the corrupt, compromised, incompetent, and incorrigible Joe Biden, Americans now risk getting pulled into wars on three major fronts: Europe, the Asia Pacific and the Middle East. That didn’t happen under Trump.
But MSNBC stands by their man Biden . . .
Unlike those who are “ashamed” or “embarrassed” by Trump and want to condemn his unrefined ways as being beneath them, my working life was spent in the real world outside the cloisters of academia, religious organizations, and armchair punditry. I learned which people get things done and what needs to get done.
As a business partner in a multi-million-dollar manufacturing enterprise for many years, I found out who was needed and what was needed to bring success to both employees and the bottom line. The things that Trump got done during his first term allowed me to get things done in the Kingdom of God.
N.B.: There are imperfect people like Trump and tax-collector Matthew in the kingdom of heaven. (Mk. 2:15-17). So, it is best for the offended and the ‘high-minded’ to stick with the gospels and to stay away from tea leaves.
Consider a Trump economy. With a thriving economy, I am able to support myself and give to help others in need in a closely tied relationship. But under a Leftist Joe Biden economy, disposable personal income shrinks. Financial survival kicks in. And worse.
You should be aware that Leftists are intent on neutralizing Christianity and its charity. As mentioned above, the Left wants everything to be funneled through the State and the State to be the only effect on society. This is what Progressives do. They make everyone and everything dependent on ruling class ‘good will’. And that is the substance of State media’s MSNBC and their ilk.
So, while the prophets of Baal, enflamed with Trump Derangement Syndrome, shout louder and slash themselves with swords and spears in the hope that viewers will pay attention to their frantic prophesying and let their fire rain down on Trump, let’s turn to the Good News that has already come down from the heavens with its fire poured out through the Holy Spirit.
The beginning of Mark’s Gospel (εὐαγγέλιον or euaggélion – literally, “God’s good news.”):
This is where the good news starts – the good news of Jesus the Anointed King, God’s son.
Everything in Scripture (and specifically Isaiah 40-55) up to this time pointed to the Kingdom of God on earth. Mark writes (vs.14-15):
After John’s arrest, Jesus came into Galilee, announcing God’s good news.
“The time is fulfilled!” he said; “God Kingdom is arriving! Turn back and believe the good news!”
“Turn back”? When Jesus launched the long-promised kingdom of God on earth, allegiances and lifestyles began to change direction, as he began to talk about and show what that meant.
Jesus spoke of kingdom of God in parables and directly, as in Matthew 5-7. He showed what the kingdom of God meant – unclean spirits are cast out (Mk. 1:39), people are healed (Mt. 4:23), there is restoration (Lk. 15) and resurrection (Jn. 11:38-44). And, that the kingdom of God on earth was a fulfillment of the Law and Prophets (Mt. 5:17-18).
When he taught his disciples how to pray, he prayed
May your kingdom come,
May your will be done
As in heaven, so on earth
I wonder. Is that prayer being realized? Instead of allegiance to King Jesus the ultimate restorer and to the kingdom of God on earth, have the followers of Jesus become accommodationists of the world to fit in and find ease?
Have the followers of Jesus understood what the good news is? Have they reduced the gospel (euaggélion) to the formulaic four spiritual laws and an escape from the world into heaven?
Below are two podcasts that offer an understanding of the Good News and the kingdom of God on earth. Download and listen as you enter the season of celebrating the birth of a King who brought us good news and a kingdom.
But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever—forever and ever. Daniel 7:18
We, the King’s holy ones, are to herald the good news of God’s Kingdom with a new way of life to a world that sees answers in profoundly short-sighted ways rather than in the Way of King Jesus. And then . . .
Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying,
“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign forever and ever.” Rev 11:15
~~~~~
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Anglican Bishop, and New Testament scholar, N.T. Wright makes clear, Jesus’ good news wasn’t about giving advice, or founding a new religion, or even where a soul goes when the body dies. Jesus was inviting his hearers into a new way of understanding Israel’s ancient story and the cosmic significance of its sudden fulfillment.
A year of determination, the help of world-renowned doctors, and this mother’s research exposed the world to the known toxins in the Covid-19 vaccines that nearly killed her son.
“In 2021, after my then 21-year-old son went from running miles a day to walking with a cane, diagnosed with a rare, catastrophic blood disorder, this mom knows it is time for vaccine injury victims & families to ignite an intelligent, rational conversation about what the mRNA vaccines put into our bodies. We don’t buy food or health products without reading the labels and knowing the ingredients, and it’s time we do the same with the vaccines for our children.”
Livestock raised in confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are routinely given a range of veterinary drugs to prevent disease, and some of those drugs could potentially impact the health of those who eat their meat.
Thousands of vials of biological substances — including some labeled “HIV” — and a freezer marked “Ebola” were found inside a secret Chinese-owned biolab in California which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and FBI initially refused to investigate, according to a House committee report released Wednesday.
“This is really a massive cover-up. And I suspect it’s because there’s many more links to the funding, and there was probably discussion of the funding,” says Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky).
It has been said by those who have gone on before us that in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes. The Left, with its love of death and taxes and underworld ideology, have added to what is said to be certain: racism and climate change.
Racism’s certainty, as claimed by those who seek to benefit, is the Heart of Darkness inherent in all white people from time immemorial – a sweeping generalization that ignores vast accounts of reality. (Union troops killed in action: 110,000. Total dead: 360,000. Wounded: 275,200. And you need reparations? You need your head examined!)
As wielded by the Left, racism is that which does not accord with that which comes out of the Left’s mouth or pen. That is a well-documented documented certainty. A charge of racism is meant to silence dissent and to proclaim the above forgone conclusion. For, one is even deemed “racist” just for opening one’s mouth in utter disbelief upon hearing the Left speak.
Regarding the other certitude candidate, the Left is working the climate change apocalypse narrative up to a fever pitch of do-or-die certainty. Do what you are told or the world will end. This they know, for The Science tells them so. The media and classrooms are the Sunday Schools of the climate religion.
“Climate realists should gird their loins in preparation for the pending onslaught of stories in the mainstream media proclaiming this or that seasonal weather event is being enhanced by anthropogenic climate change to some degree somehow or other.
For the past two decades, every year as winter wanes and spring springs, the media has engaged in its contemporary rite of spring: climate fear.”
The first day of spring this past week and, lo and behold, rain is forecasted. Heavy rains and flood warnings are noted for certain areas. Low lying areas, flood plains, areas close to existing water and sewer systems that cannot handle the runoff will see flooding, as expected.
TV viewers will again see pictures of flooded streets and videos of some reporter dude flapping his jaw in flapping rain gear in a flapping storm. No one likes flooding. Some have incurred it and have dealt with it. We can’t control weather but we can control what we do with the weather given us. But hold on! Climate bookies are telling us the stakes have been raised.
“Never before extreme weather” is being forecasted based on the certainty of assumptions:
The hydrological cycle is expected to intensify with global warming, which likely increases the intensity of extreme precipitation events and the risk of flooding. (Emphasis mine)
As global warming increases the likelihood for more extreme weather events to occur, risks will expand beyond the high-risk areas known today. More extreme flooding must be expected, and for the towns and cities where flooding has already occurred, theirs will no longer be a ‘once in a lifetime’ risk but now far more frequent. (Emphasis mine)
Will the risk of flooding in your area soon be media-ascribed to an anthropogenic-caused risk level of RED based on the transmission of rain drops in your area? Anything is possible as we have seen with the COVID plandemic. Flatten the curve of that nonsense.
H. Sterling Burnett, PhD recommends that “when you see stories this year claiming climate change is causing an apocalypse of allergies, maple syrup disappearance, floods, hurricanes, drought, and wildfires, check the facts. It will make you feel better. The Heartland Institute provides the fully referenced data on these and other extreme weather trends at ClimateRealism.com and ClimateataGlance.com.”
Here’s a podcast discussing green imperialism and what myopic climate activism does to poor
Manmade extreme flood conditions, not of the hydrologic kind, are upon us. Economic flood waters, digital flood waters and cultural flood waters are rising quickly around us. They are devasting in nature.
Economic Flood Waters:
Food costs, fuel costs, declining and stagnant wages, high interest rates, the inverted yield curve, and increasing levels of personal debt are some of the major indicators of the catastrophic effect of the reckless control of the economy.
The Fed is ‘trying’ to get the flood waters of inflation under control while the Biden regime along with Democrats and feckless Republicans are flooding the economy with massive inflationary spending. The $1.7 trillion Omnibus bill is the latest torrential rainfall. More dollars are chasing fewer goods. The dollar is being devalued. It makes perfect nonsense.
U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen and chair of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell are incompetent in their roles. They should never have been put into their respective positions.
When it comes to inflation incompetence, look no further than Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. In her powerful position, Ms. Yellen is supposed to advocate sound economic policies that help the American people. But when millions of hardworking families were struggling with out-of-control inflation not seen in 40 years, Ms. Yellen helped pave the way for the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, which had nothing to do with reducing inflation. Even Paul Krugman at The New York Times admits: “The strategically misleadingly named Inflation Reduction Act is mainly a climate bill.” –In Biden’s incompetent Cabinet, how has no one been fired or asked to resign? – Washington Times
Jerome Powell has no economic background. Both Yellen and Powell talk the talk as they are Washington insiders. They are also puppets of the Biden regime and that doesn’t bode well for Americans who are under water. And there’s this:
The people entrusted to secure the U.S. dollar and the financial system are incompetent and politically biased and that means that low and middle class people like you and me will be soon overwhelmed by the extreme financial events pouring out of bad decisions.
For people who are acutely aware of their debts, higher rates intensify the woes, said Ashley Agnew of Centerpoint Advisors in Needham, Mass. “It feels more like a punishment than an interest rate,” she said.
Keep in mind: the people who are mishandling the economy and bringing about the managed decline of the country are some of the same people who call you names and want to control the climate.
Digital Flood Waters:
We immerse ourselves in digital streams. We own handheld devices for texting, paying, playing, watching and talking. We are walking data streams. And driving data streams.
Late model cars have digital tracking. It’s there for “roadside assistance” and to track your wear and tear on the car. Drive Safe & Save type apps used to monitor your driving habits and to automatically record trips. The app will give you feedback about your acceleration, braking corner, speeding and distracted driving. The insurance company rewards you (premium discount) for being enrolled in their data stream.
To Enjoy an “Easier and Better Life With Smart Home Devices” we buy smart TVs, smart appliances, smart thermostats, smart cameras, smart locks, smart security systems, smart speakers, etc. etc. We are embedded in data streams and may have them embedded in us. And that’s a problem.
There are enormous risks in involved with online data. For example, at the end of last year I learned that the company I had been working for had received a ransomware attack. I received a letter from the company saying that my personal information had been stolen. The company set me up with a credit monitoring company but my personal information is out there in the cyber underworld.
There are home title thieves who can go online and steal your title and leave you holding enormous debt and no title.
On the receiving end of your data are people and/or AI systems monitoring you. Neither consider you a person. You are a data stream that for one, can be monetized and for another can be controlled to be the perfect consumer. You already know this and go along with it with every click.
So, you should know that when the Fed comes out with Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and replaces physical cash, your whole life will then be a data stream not under your control.
Your purchases of food and gas, of everything, will be monitored and controlled by ESG AI algorithms who don’t give a hoot about you and your situation. A social credit system will be employed to the end that you will be made to submit to whatever the gods of this world decide atop the DAVOS ziggurat.
Many have been seduced by the programmable digital world. Many spend their time knee deep in digital streams. But the manmade digital flood that is coming will overtake them. They will be left hanging on to whatever non-digital flotsam you can find to hold on to.
Below is a brief summary of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and how they can be wielded against society to enforce ESG compliance. From Digital Dollars – The Heartland Institute:
A digital dollar’s threats to privacy and freedom are real. First, the government could easily block transactions. This already happens as government pressure has led banks and PayPal to cancel accounts. The Canadian government blocked funding for the Freedom Convoy truckers. A CBDC empowers government micromanagement of our transactions.
Second, digital dollars could have expiration dates or automatically lose value. This undermines money’s ability to serve as a store of value, or let people hold onto purchasing power. Non-counterfeit money represents unconsumed production, the accumulated pay you never spent. It should not expire, ever. (Emphasis mine.)
Tell your representatives that you do not want CBDC and to kill UCC modification bills. Tell your representatives that you are not all happy with the managed decline of America that they are taking part in.
Open wounds and rashes exposed to floodwater can become infected. Vibrios, for example, are naturally occurring bacteria that live in certain coastal waters and can cause skin infections when an open wound is exposed to them. This can happen during floods. To protect yourself and your family: Avoid exposure to floodwater.
It is difficult to avoid the bacterial flood waters of our culture. Without proper borders, it flows in and infects.
The culture’s bacterial flood waters have entered our home via TV, the internet, and smartphones. Children are babysat by TV programs that infect and wound young susceptible minds. It is no different for teens and adults, as they passively invite in the bacterial flood waters with its deteriorating effect on their being.
Bacterial flood waters have entered our education systems via the degenerate sponsors of CRT and the sexualization of children. Our school children are becoming infected with gay porn that is promoted in the classroom and in school libraries.
Bacterial flood waters have entered our churches via “acceptance” and “inclusion” policies and via mega church structures that hid sin. Catholic congregations are becoming infected by priests who promote open borders and homosexuality. Moral failings, abuse, toxic internal structures, and the utter hypocrisy of leadership as seen in mega churches like Hillsong and Willowcreek reveal the church has been infected with the cultural bacteria.
Sewers have backed up from torrents of hedonism that rain down on us from the digital clouds. One is easily infected, via devices, with the bacterial sewer water of a hedonistic lifestyle. “You need such and such or so and so to be truly happy. Click here.”
Those who practice abortion, homosexuality, and “affirming care” leading to permanent mangling of children’s bodies have crossed a cultural Rubicon, unaware that they have been led there by Malthusians.
Those who are forced to use pronouns that do not match a person’s gender are being forced to lie to their neighbor.
Our culture has been infected by bacterial flood waters brought about by the manmade deluge of the misuse, disordering and dysfunction of Nature – a product of cultural climate change activism.
Gay Iconoclasm: Holding the Line against the Radical LGBT Agenda
The massive flood of illegal immigration created by the Biden regime’s manmade open border policy is altering the cultural landscape of our country. The U.S. will soon be covered in the flood waters of economic opportunists (not refugees), terrorists, gangs, drugs dealers, pedophiles, criminals, and fentanyl.
As such, the U.S. will become a third world country – just what the fundamental-transformation-hate-America ideologues have so desired. Then U.S. citizens will be ordered around like Venezuelans are dictated to by Nicolás Maduro and Brazilians by CCP controlled Lula de Silva.
The open border’s flood of illegal immigrants is not being done as an act of compassion and generosity on the part the Left. It is being done to destabilize America. It is being done to flood the zone of American’s resolve against a New World Order leadership that wants to own America, with those who come in depending on government, aka the Biden regime.
A very brief history of back in time:
In the beginning the cosmos, established by God, was non-ordered. The primary act of creation was bringing into existence the ordering of the material cosmos and human society. God brought order to our world and at the same time left non-order for humans to “subdue and rule”, i.e., work with God to bring about order.
“God didn’t produce a ready-made world. The Creator has done something cleverer than this, making a world able to make itself.” – John Polkinghorne
Disorder stands in opposition to order. Disorder works to move the center of order from God to man who says “I will order life my way”. Order and the yet-to-be-ordered are affected by the inherently evil disorder. Chaos – out of order – ensues, as evidenced in our world today. Human disorder flooded the days of Noah and is flooding our lives today.
“The suffering and evil of the world are not due to weakness, oversight, or callousness on God’s part. But rather, are the inescapable costs of a creation allowed to be other than God.” – John Polkinghorne
Hyperbole was used by a Hebrew author to describe a devastating flood just like other Ancient Near East (ANE) account authors did. For example, reading these accounts one gets the idea that the flood was universal and covering the earth. But there is no geological record of such a worldwide flood. The flood is certainly wide-ranging in its devastation, so it is not a local flood either. Hyperbole was used to make important theological points.
In ANE accounts the gods were dependent on humans to supply their needs. They became unhappy with unruly mankind and decided to flood the earth and wipe away mankind. A remnant was saved to continue serving the gods’ needs.
The Hebrew flood account can be understood as a God “order-bringing event” to the creation he once ordered. Noah is to be the order-preserving remnant.
“The connection of Noah’s name to the flood suggests that besides being presented as an act of judgement, grace and deliverance, the narrator is recounting this event as a sort of “reset button.” God uses non-order (the waters) to eliminate disorder (pervasive violence) and then to reestablish optimal order (even as he recognizes that disorder remains [Ge. 8:21]).” – Tremper Longman III & John Walton, The Lost World of the Flood, Mythology, Theology, and the Deluge Debate, 118
What I see happening in our world today is similar to the ANE accounts of the flood. The gods of this world, who are dependent on humans to supply their needs, specifically wealth and power, have become unhappy with mankind. Mankind is too independent and not organized the way they want. They have decided to flood the earth and bring about a Great Reset: “We will order life our way”. A flood of disorder, they assume, will wipe away the God-ordered world. But they are off center . . .
The human mind may devise many plans, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established. -Proverbs 19:21
The climate apocalypse narrative is hyperbole. It is being used as hyperbole to produce a theological point: that transformational change, not of the climate but of humanity, away from the image of God, is necessary. The gods of this world will use any means necessary, including and not limited to the above, to bring about devasting disorder that they believe leads to a New World Order.
As we have seen, the NWO gods used “The Science” for the COVID plandemic to move people to a place of submission. Consider the devastating disorder brought upon people with mandates and the untested mNRA DNA altering vaccine.
They are now using “The Science” in the climate change narrative for the same reason. “The Science” will be used again and again to bring about the NWO.
Now, because I don’t accept NWO theology and won’t submit to NWO gods does not mean that I reject science. That is an oft used criticism used by NWO gods to say that I’m not thinking straight or that I’m not thinking about the right things. I don’t reject science. I reject the NOW’s “The Science” hyperbole.
Having said all this, what are you prepared to do . . . about devastating disorder?

Alarmism? I guess that I am somewhat inured to it. The year the United States detonated the world’s first thermonuclear weapon, the hydrogen bomb, on Eniwetok atoll in the Pacific, I was born. There were Duck and cover drills in my elementary school.
I have lived with a heightened state of alarm brought about by the prospect of nuclear war, the state of the Cold War, and the burgeoning unrest centered around the Viet Nam War. And, there was and continues to be the alarming outcomes brought about by the economic mishandling of policy makers.
And there was the end of the world eschatology alarmism of The Late Great Planet Earth and later, the Left Behind series.
I don’t know of anyone on the earth who is omniscient or all knowing. And that includes scripture and science prognosticators. False prophets abound. They over promise and under deliver.
All of the above situations and alarms were manmade.
On another familiar subject . . .
My own experience with flooding goes way back to the time my father was mayor of a suburban Chicago village. Continuous rain flooded a creek that runs from the Wisconsin border down into the Des Plaines River and right through the eastern section of the village.
The flooding caused significant damage to commercial and residential property. The overflow of the creek’s waters blocked the main throughfare through the village, preventing commerce.
Illinois Senator Charles Percy came down to meet with my father. The two of them got into a row boat to survey the damage. State monies came later to shore up the creek, to pay for the damage, and to help with storm water management. A year later a tornado hit our village and tore up some apartment buildings. Extreme weather happens.
The village was situated on a flood plain. Our basement flooded every spring until my father put in a sump pump. He saw what would happen again and adapted.

“I’ll paraphrase the phrase of my old neighborhood: The rest of the countries, the world is not a patch in our jeans, if we do what we wanna do, we need to do,” Joe Biden.
On or off script, Joe Biden, the head of the Democrat party, speaks from a stage of decline that often veers into irrationality as he verbally searches for self among memories real or imagined. His disjointed stream of consciousness monologues reminds me of the unnamed protagonist in Samuel Beckett’s final novel in his trilogy: The Unnamable.
Where now? Who now? When now? . . .
I’ll make myself a memory, I have only to listen, the voice will tell me everything, tell it to me again, everything I need, in dribs and drabs, breathless, it’s like a confession, a last confession, you think it’s finished, then it starts off again, there were so many sins, the memory is so bad, the words don’t come, the words fail, the breath fails . .
Beckett, Samuel (1958). Three Novels: Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnamable.
Thank goodness we don’t have to live in Biden’s unnamable world. Or, do we? Are we being driven from home and a sense of self? Are we being driven into madness?
“[Philosopher Sir Roger Scruton’s] concept of oikophobia, which he defines as an “educated derision that has been directed towards historical loyalties by our intellectual elites, who have tended to dismiss all ordinary forms of patriotism and local attachment as forms of racism, imperialism or xenophobia of which it accuses the world.” He goes on to say that he means more than mere fear (Gk. phobia) of home (Gk. oikos), but repudiation of home. I [Erin Doom] suggested that instead of calling it oikophobia, we should call it oikomachia: not just fear of home but fighting (Gk. machia) home. We don’t just live in a secular age, one in which Christianity is just one option among many (and often the most difficult option), but also in an age of oikomachia, one that is fighting against the local home, family, and nation in favor instead of transnational institutions and “enlightened universalism against local chauvinism. . ..”
At the most fundamental level, then, building our own “home” is synonymous with building our self. And the construction of a holy self inevitably leads to the construction of a good and beautiful community, to little platoons [Edmund Burke] . . . “
Restoring a Sense of Home and Community
There are those who are concerned about the loss of a sense of home and community, as am I.
Sir Roger Scruton, referred to above, was one such person who strongly advocated for a sense of Oikos and Attachment.
Swedish conservative and think tank (OIKOS) founder Mattias Karlsson is working to restore OIKOS in Sweden.
“I know that there is a Swedish culture. I know how it feels to grow up in a homogeneous society, where everyone has the same identity. And when people say, ‘it’s never been like that, Sweden has always been multicultural, that’s all just imaginary,’ I know they’re lying.” – Mattias Karlsson
Here’s a Dutch woman speaking to an OIKOS gathering. She is assessing the situation in the Netherlands:
And Poland rejecting the Left:
Currently, the U.S. is undergoing a massive invasion through our southern border. This, while Washington sends taxpayer money to Ukraine and other countries so they can defend their borders and nothing to defend our southern border.
The dilution of our country by the invaders is purposeful. It is meant to weaken any united resolve for home, country and Americanism. It is also meant to furnish a multitude of low paid workers to produce profits for global corporations and Democrat voters to produce more of the same. The Democrat collective loves worker bees and proles. Corporations love consumers.
My friends, please, don’t be naïve about what is going on. Our homeland, our OIKOS is being destroyed by Not-Americans with Joe Biden mindsets.

Identity issues, I believe, are at the core of our fragmentation as a nation, a culture, and as individuals. Identity is being usurped, handed over, and traded. And with each alteration, identity loses ground and becomes less sure and schizophrenic as it devolves into the Unnamable self.
From my previous post . . . “for the military-industrial complex to financially survive it must produce and sell weaponry . . . and war. For the bio-medical complex to financially survive it must mass produce new serums and pandemics to sell.
Repurposed drugs like Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin are not money makers. Of course, the politicians and media who support the military complex and/or the bio-medical complex and not the repurposed drugs are rewarded.”

O When the “Garbage” Goes Marching In

O When the “Garbage” goes marching in . . . to be unburdened by what has been.
When discussing “Tocqueville’s limitations” and “the shortcomings of Democracy in America today” during The New Criterions’ “Democracy in America” symposium, Glen Ellmers writes
The essential problem is that Tocqueville misunderstood America’s political principles and therefore, at some level, didn’t really understand the modern world. He thought that the very real problem of centralized administration would arise from a popular demand for conformity. But it is not the American people (who even today cherish individual freedom and admire success) who have demanded a regime of egalitarian social engineering. Rather, it is the ruling class, alienated from almost all of America’s great traditions, that has rejected the political equality of the Declaration of Independence (a document Tocqueville never really appreciated). This managerial elite appeals to an entirely different set of assumptions about the power of rational methodology to govern society, including, of course, assumptions about its own privileged position. (Emphasis mine.)
The lecturing managerial elites include a gallery of “Christian” social engineers: Never Trumpers of The After Party, the Trinity Forum and of podcasts, church seminars and Evangelicals for Harris.
America choosing Net Zero Democrat & Global Elitist policies.
Victor Davis Hanson joins John Anderson after President-elect Trump’s victory to explore why his direct style resonated with middle America. Hanson examines the economic and social factors driving Trump’s appeal, from rising inflation and border insecurity, to the sense of exclusion felt by many Americans. This interview highlights the stark divide between global elites and everyday citizens, examining how media and institutions underestimated public frustration.

The never-ending resistance to Trump and America First policies:
Following suit, I wrote to both Indiana Senators this morning, saying . . .
Senator,
What the hell is going on in the US Senate? Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the senate. Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s.
McConnell does not want the new administration to succeed. He wants to maintain control through his crony friends. If you care about America then DO NOT align yourself with either of McConnell’s two choices.
Rick Scott of Florida is the only candidate who agrees with Donald Trump. Endorse Rick Scott and not the others. Don’t let McConnell get away with more resistance to America First for the sake of McConnell first.
Write your senators before Wednesday!
The same evil empire:
How blue states are plotting to thwart Trump
They’re prepping lawsuits and legislation to stymie the incoming administration.
Democratic governors are signaling their willingness to defy the new Trump administration, vowing to protect freedoms in their states and to wage legal and political battle if the president-elect follows through with controversial proposals.
(What freedoms are they talking about? More abortions. More transgender mutilation of children?)

On one side, there’s a party of lecturing, control, intrusion, overreach, and lawfare.
On the other side, there’s a party of Fight.
On one side, there’s a party of destroying democracy to save democracy (If Dems take control of the House in two years, they will work to impeach President Trump once again.)
On the other side, there’s a party of Making America Great (and Healthy) Again.
On one side, there’s a party of lecturing about radical diversity, equity, and inclusion.
On the other side, there’s a party of those tired of being lectured to about racism and radical diversity, equity, and inclusion.
On one side, there’s a party of the media bubble, projection, lies, “misinformation”, and propaganda.
On the other side, there’s a party of downhome common sense
On one side, there’s a party of division, atomization, loneliness, and “we’re-in-this-together unity” by coercion.
On the other side, there’s a party united in the good that has been.
On one side, there’s a party whose ideas (ideologies, really) are so misaligned with the country that it loses the popular vote.
On the other side, there’s a party that tapped, not into false consciousness, but into very human concerns about the economy, inflation, the border, and safety – that tapped into reality.
