The Arrogance Of Knowledge

The Dark Side Of Knowledge

I'm going to ask that you seriously consider the above subject. It is a subject that is rarely discussed openly, even though it deserved to be well understood. Basically, the dark side of knowledge means, that as people become more educated, and have an opportunity to utilize the knowledge gained, the more likely it is that the knowledge gained will be utilized to gain power to subjugate others. It is human nature (and all life) to do so. The inherent nature to survive and dominate is encoded into Human, and all life's DNA, and results in people's passion for power in order to dominate and subjugate all others.

            For example, the advance of knowledge, codified by Charles Darwin in his 1859 tome, The Origin Of Species, had a very attentive pupil. The attentive person was one, Adolf Hitler. Evidence abounds that Hitler's blueprint for NAZI domination of the world as the Master race (Mein Kamph) was based upon the knowledge of Survival Of The Fittest, made available by the esteemed work of Charles Darwin. The result being that untold millions of people were murdered, and unfathomable amounts of Human treasure and property was destroyed, and all because a Man used knowledge gained nefariously. Also consider Atom Bombs, Chemical and Biological Agents, and Rockets, as being just a few more examples of the misuse of knowledge.

            Here are two quotes from Mein Kamph that you will recognized as being utilized today by today's Master Politicians and those lusting for power, to wit:

"The great masses of the people will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one."

"The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force."

            If you are a student of history, you may not have recognized the infallible fact that all people who have come to dominate other people throughout the history of Mankind were also the most educated of their kind. And they enthusiastically used their superior knowledge to kill and destroy everything in their path in their headlong rush to dominate and subjugate their fellow man.

            So the question today is: Should we elect or support those who are the most educated among us to positions of power, when evidence abounds that to do so is inviting disaster? For a today's example, look at the two above Mein Kamph quotations and decide if the current President has used the above knowledge in a nefarious manner, because after all, our President is one of the most educated of all the people on the Planet.  

FREEDOM

NEONOBILITY

Fervent concern for fellow man

Self-righteously spews forth

With endless and boundless energy

To wrap itself around the perceived hapless

Who are trapped by the opiate of freedom

Into an addiction of personal liberty

That forces the hapless unenlightened to live

A life of unrestrained happiness

Such selfish and boorish behavior cannot be long endured

By the cadre of self-appointed guardians for Social Justice

So, behold,

The enlightened army of concerned

For fellow man

Marching into battle armed with Laws, Rules, Regulations,

And the ultimate device of new age social weaponry

Ubiquitous Peer Pressure

To engage the freedom loving unenlightened rabble

Into a perpetual war to ensure Social Justice for fellow man

Liberty and personal freedom must bend

To the demands of the battle tested concerned

Because only they know what is best and just for all

As they wage social war to finally usher in the Age of Aquarius

To finally bring forth the ultimate new age Utopia

Where we all will live in peace and harmony

Ushered in not from the barrel of a gun

But from the cannons of

Smothering Government nudging

This being new and improved way

To change the nature of man

Into a malleable social instrument

To finally construct the new Age of Aquarius

This then is the imperative that fuels the enlightened Soul

To fashion a new and improved world

For the annals of Human history

To celebrate their wisdom and concern

In bringing the elusive Utopia

To the huddled masses

That also brings unto the noble effort

A flattering expansion of self worth that the Ego

Embraces with each self-righteous altruistic blow delivered

Upon the proclaimed Hapless, the Ignorant, the Boorish

And the freedom loving selfish rabble

And huddled masses longing to be free

And when united with fellow enlightened social warriors

Brings forth a shining and consecrated Army

To wage social war

Upon the selfish unenlightened hordes

And brings forth onto each

Individual enlightened and self-righteous warrior

The majestic providence of POWER

POWER that force multiplies the individual holy endeavors

Into an unstoppable progressive force

While satisfying a waxing addition to POWER

Even more forceful than Gold had over Midas

And because all humans are born

With a DNA encoded lust for power

Lesser man will always find a way

To satisfy that lust for power

Made all the better by exercising

More, more, and more POWER

For the betterment of all

Yee Ha

Now consider the poor hapless individuals who are the recipients

Of the slings and arrows of enlightened social holy war

They are as unprotected as wayward sheep

Meandering into a pack of hungry wolfs

Righteous wolfs made powerful by usurping Government force

To stampede the leaderless rabble into the loving embrace

Of the social warrior wolfs

Who always knows what is best and just for us all

So the unenlightened are constantly battered by the weapons

Of Laws, Rules, Regulations, and manufactured peer pressure

That the holy social warriors use to grind down a person's dignity

Until the freedom loving are forced to be constantly at odds

With their fellow man

Indeed,

They are made to be outcasts within the community of man

And thereby made irreverent

These are the consequences of being an independent

And free Soul nowadays in the land of Government supported

Holy social warriors forcing man to change

His nature to suit the enlightened mandate for a new age Utopia

Where the splendid Government

Of the people

By the people

For the people

So eloquently articulated by

President Abraham Lincoln

Only exists today within the echo

Of those magnificent words

That was sanctified by

The blood of fallen brethren

Upon a horrific hometown battlefield

Pray tell

Where is the today's eloquent President

That will offer inspiring and comforting

Words over a battlefield

Not littered with broken bodies

But a modern battlefield littered with broken

Human dignity and freedom

Where only the ghosts of Patriots past

Mingle with put upon Patriots of today

Once again seeking

To preserve, protect, and defend a splendid Government

Of the people

By the people

For the people

And pray tell

Where are today's free citizens?

Willing to sacrifice comfort, treasure, and life

In the endless struggle

To dignify and preserve freedom endowed Man?

Only the ghosts of Patriots past

Cry out today for freedom and liberty

Ghosts whose frail voices are

Only heard by a declining few

Battered by the united force of Progressive thought

That exiles old age man from the shining new age Utopia

Wailing with forlorn and pitiful weak voices

Still crying out

Oh Freedom, Where Art Thou?

Disarming Americans

The Doe Run lead smelting plant (last remaining lead smelting plan in the USA) has been forced to closed by the EPA. For those who don't know, lead is used to make bullets, no bullets and your constitutional gun becomes a club. This latest Government action is so insidious, that I will not take up space to outline it all, however, I urge you to click on the below link for a through discussion of the ramifications of the latest action to disarm Americans.

Peace In Our Time

The only thing missing in Sec of State Kerry's triumphant return from a tragic agreement with Iran (Persia), was Kerry waving a worthless piece of paper and declaring, "Peace In Our Time."
Ref: Neville Chamberlain 1938 Munich agreement with A. Hitler.

SOCIALISM

A 1945 Winston Churchill quote would seem to be in order today:

"The inherent virtue of Socialism is the equal sharing of miseries."

Political Power

Political power no longer grows out the barrel of a gun,
Political power now grows out of the spigot of media information.

Poison Pill Obamacare

I believe the decision was made by Obama & Co. that the only way to get to a Government run Universal Healtcare System was to destroy the current healthcare System as a first step. Hence, all of the poison pills in Obamacare (ACA) to do just that. No doubt they will find a way to blame Repubs, but I believe that main target for destruction will be the Insurance Companies. It has already begun. So as you can see, Obamacare was constructed with Political goals, not heathcare goals other than conversion to Single payer. Thats what they told the Country they were doing, and I believe them.

Government

The roll-out of the Obamacare WEB site has demonstrated with crystal-clear clarity what I have posted many times on this Blog, and that is, Government (all Governments) is a political enity, and as such, can only make politicial decisions. That is, the Obamacare WEB site design was not really driven by providing Americans with straight forward choices for their healthcare (like Amazon.com providing straight forward choices to buy everything under the sun), the design was driven by all of the political reqirements of a "thousand page" healthcare law, agumented by "thousands of pages" of rules, regulations,and directives drafted by politically directed bureaucrats. The further reality being that political requirents are without end and without cohesive direction. And further still, political requirements continously bob and weave with the political wind that is currently blowing. So how could such a WEB site be designed with such ubiguitous requirements and not be doomed to failure?
In other words, the Obamacare WEB site was not designed to facilitate healthcare for you with your personal Physician. It was designed to enforce the political requirements to enhance Governmental power by using universal healthcare as a tactical vehicle.
The cruel reality being, the Obamacare WEB site is the demonstrated reality of how the Government will be providing healthcare for you.
In other words, now that you have entrusted your personal health care to the Government, the decisions made by Government concerning your healthcare will be political decisions, not decisions concerning your personal healthcare made by you and your Physician.
Of course the same Governmental modus operandi has already been fully demonstrated by gving the Government responsibility for your retirement under the Social Security Act. Yes, that Social Security Act that was to be a safety net for us all, that has now morphed into an endless social engineering vehicle, e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, aid to dependent children, ad infinitum.

The Economy

If it wasn't for Grandmas and Aunties, the economy would soon collapse.

Gasoline Price Today

Did some research about the price of gasoline.
In 1970 the average price of gas was $0.36/gal.
Using the inflation factor of 6.03 for the dollar from 1970  to 2013,  the price of gasoline today using the 1970 price as a start is $2.17/gal. with dollar inflation of 6.03 factored in.
However taxes have been added to each gallon of gas by the Feds (18.4 cents/gal) and state sales tax that were not in effect in 1970. The average of all taxes today is $0.31/gal in today's dollars.
Therefor the inflated price of the 1970 gasoline in today's dollars is $2.17/gal., plus taxes of $0.31/gal.
So, the the price of 1970 gasoline in today's dollars is $2.48/gal.
You can plainly see, the price of gasoline has increased very little, it is the value of the dollar that has decreased.

AMENDMENT XXVIII

                                                            (Proposed)

Section 1. The seventeenth and twenty-seventh articles of amendment to the Constitution of the United States are hereby repealed in their entirety.
Section 2. Senators appointed by their respective State Legislature to the Congress shall be compensated exclusively by the State Legislature that appointed them for all expenses and wages associated with the execution of their appointed office.

Section 3. Representatives elected to the Congress shall be compensated exclusively by the Congressional District from which they were elected for all expenses and wages associated with the execution of their elected office.  Acceptance of any compensation or gift whatsoever by the Representative from any source other than the electing Congressional District shall be cause for immediate removal from office.  Elected Representatives may serve a maximum of three terms.

Professional Politicians

And you thought that the latest manufactured crisis was about fiscal and other matters. Here is how Washington works for the Professional Politicans and not for the citizens they are suppose to serve.

This is how the debt ceiling bill passed muster with Repub Minority leader, Mitch McConnell.

A Kentucky (McConnell is the senior Senator from Kentucky) dam project funding was raised in the debt ceiling bill from $775 million to $3,000 million.

This is the number of "pieces of silver" required for McConnell to support the debt ceiling bill.

Obama & Dems Mantra

Who knew that Obama and the Dems would steal the Van Morrison song lyrics, from the song "The Mystery", to be the basis of their MANTRA to Flim Flam American citizens, to wit:
"Trust what I say
And do what you're told
And surely,
All of your dirt will turn into gold."

Hooray

Hooray, Hooray
Today is finally the day
We get to start
Whittling down the Federal Government
To Citizen size
Hurray, Hooray

Big Brother Really Is Watching You

The AP and New York Times reports the following about the NSA and your Government gutting your Constitutional right to privacy. The following is the latest revelation, to wit:
"The documents Snowden provided indicated that the NSA can augment the communications data with material from public, commercial and other sources, including bank codes, insurance information, Facebook profiles, passenger manifests, voter registration rolls and GPS location information, as well as property records and unspecified tax data, the paper reported."

Obammacare

The implementation of Obamacare will exacerbate the City/Rural schism which will accelerate the destabilization of the Nation and Society.

1928 & 2012

A AP report lists a study by UC Berkeley, Paris School of Economics and Oxford University that outlines the accelerating income inequity in the US of A.

To wit:

The top 1% of the country's households earned 19% of the nation's income.

The top 10% of the country's households earned 48% of the nation's income.

The last time the national income inequity was this large occurred in 1928, just before the stock market collapse and the start of the Great Depression.

Regardless, this income inequity is the stuff of revolution and bodes ill for stability.

Making A Famine Where Abundance Lies

 Making a famine where abundance lies.
The above is from Shakespeare's, The Sonnets, and perfectly describes how Socialism, and all of its variants, ruins a free man's industry, property and spirit. The idea of taking a free society's abundance and turning it into a famine for all in order to enable a goofy idea of "social justice", seems to enjoy immortality among the educated elite.

And the socialist idea of making famine for all is still alive and well nourished today as the Obama "spreading the wealth" agenda grinds on and on to the dismay of free citizens.

I have never understood how the fortunate among us, who have the benefit of freedom, unlimited education and prosperity, always seem to gravitate towards the ideas of Marx, Lenin, and Moa in order to create a utopia for all mankind.

If you have the stomach to read Obama's book, "Dreams From My Father", you will witness his continuous rant against the white race for all of non-whites ills and misfortunes. Based upon his written rant, you can easily see why he wants to "fundamentally change" the American society that has "enslaved" non-white people in order to obtain white prosperity. His "fundamental" change is to use the force of Government to impose "social justice" by confiscating wealth from free Americans and redistributing that wealth to those who have been enslaved by the white race.

What does Obama's agenda have to do with socialism?

I said above that I never understood how educated people could endorse Socialism, but I believe I now understand. Socialism is the method you can use in today's world to obtain the power of a democratically elected Government to exercise the required dictatorial power to impose the utopian idea of one equal human race. You can do this because you can shame gullible and well-meaning people into believing that "social justice" is a democratic idea.

You can also use the dictatorial power of "social justice" to enable the Obama desire to cut the white man down to size or to simply obtain power over the people.

Welcome to the 21st century. 

Brothers And Sisters of America United

Brothers and Sisters demand the right to be married. Those who are against this life style choice are bigots and the Supreme Court of the United States should grant Brothers and Sisters the right to be married. The Supreme Court of America should grant the right for brothers and sisters to be married because it is unconstitutional for bigots to deny them their right to their life style.

No One Ever Listens

There are reports that some Dems, and others, are becoming alarmed about the possible Obamacare "train wreck."
Really?

This is no big surprise, it's all by design. Remember, Obama & Co. said at the time that Obama care is not what they really want. They want absolute Government, single payer, health care for all Americans, so Obamacare was intentionally made to be unworkable so that they could come to the rescue with complete Socialized medicine after Obamacare has destroyed our current Health system. The current Dems gashing of teeth is mostly theater, but it's possible the whole thing could backfire if the Repubs are smart enough and enought citizens become engaged and care what's going on.

Repubs are smart enough and Citizens engaged?  

Letter To The Editor

Illegal Inhabitants.

Today's lead story in the Star once again leaves me disappointed in the Star's coverage's. You have chosen to portray illegal inhabitants as warm and wonderful people just like all of us so that we all will excuse their deliberate violation of our laws. You do not show the negative side of illegal immigration, just warm and fuzzy people living life.
Disdainful.
Only a duplicitous Government would not enforce immigration laws that has worked well for as long as we have been an immigrant country, and then declare that our immigration system is "broken"
as a result. Worst still, politicians and newspapers, like Indy Star, then parrot the created notion that the immigration system is broken. We all know, including the Star, that this insidious effort in supporting illegal immigration is to create an unstoppable electorate for one particular political power.
Small wonder peoples are so upset with the lot of you.

1984

It sure took 1984 a long time to get here.

A. Your Government is now looking at, and recording, every one of your private communications, including landline phone, cell phone, e-mail, and yes, this Blog. In other words, your Government knows who you are talking to, what you are talking about, and everything about your personal life.
B. Under the new Dodd-Frank law, your Government knows about your entire financial dealings and worth. The Feds also knows with whom you have financial dealings with, and why.
C. Under the ACA (Obamacare) health act, your Government will know every thing about your health, will dictate how and with whom you get healthcare, and how much healthcare you get. And your Government will dictate how and how much you will pay for healthcare.
D. Your Government has now politicized the Federal Justice Dept. and can can prosecute any and all American citizens under all encompassing Federal law, and can do so with impunity, and for purely politicial reasons.
E. Your Government has politicized the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and can destroy any citizen it chooses by using the offices of the IRS to do so, and for any purpose, politicial or otherwise.
F. Your Government has now constituted, under the Homeland Secutiy Act, a standing armed  Federal Police force that can police any and all American Citizens. This federal police force can, and will, enforce federal politicial will by armed agents.
G. Your Government has now politicized the Environmental Protection Agency and can control all basic means of production. The EPA now controls all land, be it private or public, by selective enforement of environmental rules it establishes.

If you are still foolish and naive enought to believe you are a free American citizen today, and that the Constitution protects you, you deserve everything that is coming your way.

Life As We Know It

"It has been said that all life on Earth is immortal, save man, because only man knows of death. This is why animals fight so ferociously because they (animals) don't know of death. And this is why Humans fight so ferociously, because they (Humans) know of death." *

Sgt. Schultz

Who could ever have imagined that a silly TV program, that portrayed the Nazis as "Oh So Funny" foils for an clever American prisoner of war, would someday be prescient for a sitting American President. Of course, the name of that silly TV program was called "Hogan's Heros", and it was prescient because an actor, John Banner, played a lovable Nazi named Sgt. Schultz. Sgt Schultz had a tag line in that silly show that is now used almost daily by the sitting President of the United States, Barack Obama, and this is why the show was prescient to events happening today.
Who knew?
Sgt Schultz's tag line was, "I Know Nothing", and Sgt Schultz always used that explanation whenever he had to disavow knowlege of anything that might force him to accept any responsibility for the slings and arrows of misfortune that happened on his watch.
Who could have ever imagined that Barack Obama would employ that same line, over and over, as the slings and arrows of misfortune keeps happening on his watch.
You know, "I know Nothing."

TEXTING

TEXT, TEXT, TEXTING,

SEALING UP YOUR LIPS,

BY BANGING ON YOUR QWERTY,

AND MAKING MUM'S THE WORD.

I bet you have witnessed the modern day phenomenon of hip teenyboppers sitting within whispering distance of each other while enthusiastically banging away on their personal communication devices to post and reply to endless encoded typed messages to each other. You would think that people would rather face-up to each other in order to make a very personal connection, and then to complete the social link, select the appropriate words from a vast reservoir of words and meanings to make a uniquely personal presentation by conveying abstract ideas and emotional feelings in a more directed, and personal way. To wit: The spoken word comes with the added advantage of judging the emotional state and possible underlying reasons for the verbal communication. 

But wait, I bet you have also witnessed hip adults doing the same texting thing.

What's going on here?

We could research plenty of psychobabble to address the latest human idiosyncrasy, but perhaps, just an old geezer's observation would better serve a measure of understanding.

So here goes. It seems to me, speaking "face-to-face" with another person carries with it the acceptance of "personal responsibility" for the whole tenor of the personal interaction because you are, indeed, interrelating "face-to-face." By substituting texting in lieu of personalizing speech, personal responsibility for the communication is muted because of the lack of the more human communication factors, such as, using and interpreting body language, eye contact, emotional state of each party, to name just a few. While using indirect speech (phone) lacks the more personal human communications factors listed above, it nevertheless carries with it more emotion and meaning than the written word.

So, it seems to me, we have a modern day dichotomy here. Modern people now have the technical means to be in constant contact with one another in order to fulfill some sort of human need to be in a continuous social interacting state. However, by substituting texting for speech, they avoid the more important aspects of human communications by becoming less responsible for it.

Very strange.

Police

It is instructive to study the aftermath of the abduction and captivity of three women in Cleveland Ohio. The Police is in full investigative mode as they try to piece together how this crime was comitted.
Here is the salient that this crime once again instructs us, in paticular, those who want us all to be willing victims by restricting guns that enable us to protect ourselves from those meaner, stronger and incivil thugs that pefer to ataack those unable, or unwilling to protect themselves. Those citizens that are unable or unwilling to protect themselves depend upon the Police to protect them.
Here is the salient concerning the Police in a free society:
THE POLICE ARE THOSE WHO ARRIVE ON THE SCENE AFTER THE CRIME HAS BEEN COMITTED.

Prophesy

We all are spiritual being of one sort or another, so I hope you will find the Hopi Bear Clan Prophesy cause for deep reflection. For those not acquainted with American Indian beliefs, perhaps this piece will cause you to explore the subject more deeply. (I have slightly edited areas within the parentheses.)

FULFILLMENT Of
The HOPI BEAR CLAN PROPHESY

Bob Frissel, in his book, "Something In This Book is True…" (Frog Ltd.; Berkeley, California; 1997) relates a story told by Reverend David Young about an encounter in the 1950's.

While driving through a desert in the Southwest, Rev. Young picked up a remarkable Hopi Elder and soon the two began a long conversation about spiritual matters.

"'I am White Feather, a Hopi of the ancient Bear Clan. In my long life I have traveled through this land, seeking out my brothers, and learning from them many things filled with wisdom. I have followed the sacred paths of my people, who inhabit the forests and many lakes in the east, the land of ice and long nights in the north, and the places of holy altars of stone built many years ago by my brothers' fathers in the south. From all these I have heard the stories of the past, and the prophecies of the future. Today, many of the prophecies have turned to stories, and few are left -- the past grows longer, and the future grows shorter.
"'And now White Feather is dying. His sons have all joined his ancestors, and soon he too shall be with them. But there is no one left, no one to recite and pass on the ancient wisdom. My people have tired of the old ways -- the great ceremonies that tell of our origins, of our emergence into the Fourth World, are almost all abandoned, forgotten, yet even this has been foretold.

The time grows short.

"'My people await Pahana, the lost White Brother [from the stars and particually the star Sirius], as do all our brothers in the land. He will not be like the white men we know now, who are cruel and greedy. We were told of their coming long ago. But still we await Pahana.

"'He will bring with him the symbols, and the missing piece of that sacred tablet now kept by the elders, given to him when he left, that shall identify him as our True White Brother.

"'The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been fulfilled, and so few are left.

"This is the First Sign: We are told of the coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana -- men who took the land that was not theirs. And men who struck their enemies with thunder. [First sign of guns.]

"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his eyes -- the white men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies.

"This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns will overrun the land in large numbers. These White Feather saw with his eyes --the coming of the white men's cattle.

"This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron. [Railroad tracks]

"'This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be crisscrossed by a giant spider's web. [Electric power and telephone lines]

"This is the Sixth Sign: The land shall be crisscrossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun. [Highways and their mirage-producing effects]

"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it. [Oil spills in the ocean]

"'This is the Eighth Sign: You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like my people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom. ["Hippie Movement" of the 1960s]

"'And this is the Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease. [Perhaps the Ninth Sign was the U.S. Space Station Skylab, which fell to Earth in 1979. According to Australian eyewitnesses, it appeared to be burning blue.]

"'These are the Signs that great destruction is coming. The world shall rock to and fro. The white man will battle against other people in other lands -- with those who possessed the first light of wisdom [Land between the Rivers, Greeks, Jews?]. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as White Feather has seen the white man make in the deserts not far from here. [Atomic Bomb] Only those which come will cause disease and a great dying. Many of my people, understanding the prophecies, shall be safe. Those who stay and live in the places of my people also shall be safe. Then there will be much to rebuild. And soon -- very soon afterward -- Pahana will return. He shall bring with him the dawn of the Fifth World. He shall plant the seeds of his wisdom in their hearts. Even now the seeds are being planted. These shall smooth the way to the Emergence into the Fifth World.

"'But White Feather shall not see it. I am old and dying. Perhaps you will see it. In time, in time....'

"The old Indian fell silent. They had arrived at his destination, and Reverend David Young stopped to let him out of the car. They never met again. Reverend Young died in 1976, so he did not live to see the further fulfillment of this remarkable prophecy.

19 April 2013

19 April 2013
On this very day in 1775, 238 years ago, in the same Massachusetts as today's manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombers being covered by 24-hour television, 700 British soldiers marched into Lexington and Concord to "confiscate" the assault weapons of the local militia.

It did not end well for the British 238 years ago, and started the revolutionary war that gained independence from the Crown, and enabled the eventual birth of the United States of America.
If you never really understood the meaning of, and necessity for, the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution, the above action 238 years ago should provide a measure of understanding. The 2nd Amendment is not really about firearms, it's about having the means to arm a Militia in order to make the Militia a viable means to protect free citizens, be it protection from Bad Guys or from a tyrannical Government, to wit: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.There are well meaning people today who believe that the concept of an armed citizen militia, in today's modern world, is a charming but archaic notion. And besides, each state's National Guard is in reality a citizen militia so an armed general population is both unnecessary and dangerous. Not so fellow citizens. The National Guard has been made an integrated part of the federal standing army, and in no way represents a local armed citizen militia. A federal standing army was feared by the Founders because such standing armies were always the means for a tyrannical government to usurp the freedom of the people and an armed citizen militia was the means to preclude the necessity for a standing federal army, hence, the 2nd Amendment. If today you become a member of a public  armed militia, you will be arrested and taken into custody.
Today's relentless and unending push today to remove weapons from the free citizens of the general population of the United States of America, is not really about the safety of children or anyone else. The banning (confiscation) of assault, or  any other type of weapon, is about removing the means for viable resistance to an tyrannical Government and the forced reliance upon Government for your personal protection.

Rules For Radicals

Saul D. Alinsky is a name you should become familiar with. Alinsky was a radical who helped develop the concept of Community Organizing as a way to develop and maintain political power for radical purposes. For a good definition of what Community Organizing is, click the following, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_organizing

Regardless of your political persuasion, it is instructive to note that President Barack Obama also employed Community Organizing to enable his rise as a politician and gain power. By many accounts, Obama was, and is, a follower of Alinsky, but you should draw your own conclusions, especially after studying the following 13 rules for radicals. These rules are from Alinsky's 1971 published book, "Rules for Radicals."

 

Here are the 13 Rules Alinsky instructs would be radicals to follow to be successful as a radical. These rules will allow the radical to gain mastery over opponents regardless of what the political goal is. I draw your attention to rule number 5 and how it is being used today to prevent a civil discussion of political issues not in the radical's interest. 

 

The rules

 

 1. Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.

 2.  Never go outside the expertise of your people.

 3. Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.

 4. Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.

 5. Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.

 6. A good tactic is one your people enjoy.

 7. A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.

 8. Keep the pressure on. Never let up.

 9. The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.

 10. The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.

 11. If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.

 12.The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.

 13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

15 April

15 April is the birthday of the Grandfather (Kim Il Sung, deceased) of the Current Dear Leader  (Kim Jong-un) of North Korea. Grandfather is the one who invaded South Korea and started the Korean War in the 50s. Grandfather is a Hero and role model for the current North Korean Dear Leader.  

The current Dear Leader of North Korea is threatening a nuclear attack on the US and it's allies, and 15 April would be a fitting  time to launch such an attack in order to honor Dear Leader Grandfather. Bearing in mind that initiating an attack would be an honorable way to finish the war that Grandfather started, and technically is still ongoing, and would appeal to the dark age people of North Korea.  

Korea still has an enduring hate for Japan due to the WWII invasion and atrocities perpetrated upon the Korean people. With their limited nuclear capability, a very tempting target for the 15th would be Japan and the US military bases still there. The explosion of a small enhanced device high above Japan would initiate an EMP that would blanket most of modern day Japan with a destructive surge. That EMP surge would destroy most things electrical and electronic in Japan and propel Japan back into a pre-industrial age.

Such an occurrence would probably wreck the world's economy is short order.

Let's hope this is just another doomsday speculation.......

Who Speaks For The American Worker?

Who Speaks For Working Men and Women?

 

            .So-called Illegal Immigration is having a direct impact on American skilled and unskilled labor that is rarely discussed. All we ever hear about is the wonderful people who have violated our laws by simply coming to American with the intention of taking American jobs and cranking out "anchor babies" in order to further circumvent Immigration law and stay here.

            With full intent, these criminals hurry to have babies so that they may pervert our Constitution by claiming that they cannot be removed because their children are American citizens due to the fact their children were born on American soil. And what civilized person wants to separate a Mother from her baby? This practice is beyond disgraceful, and yet, foolish people condone such horrible activity.

            We all have heard over and over the complete nonsense that the criminals who cross our borders in violation of our laws are only here because they will do the jobs that Americans won't do.

            Here is the truth that remains unspoken during the so-called "Illegal Immigration" debate. I will use roofing as an example, but there are many other work areas that have typically used American skilled and unskilled labor that have supported American families in the past. Many of these other work area could be used as examples as well.

            Here is how it really works. Roofing contractors using American citizen labor have been roofing American homes for ages by paying American workers a wage that can support an American living in America. Undocumented workers approach the roofing contractor and offer to work on the roofs for a fraction of the wage paid to the American worker. Most legitimate contractors say no, but as usual, there are some contractors who jumped at the opportunity to make a huge profit by undercutting other contractors paying American wagers to American workers. Needless to say, soon the contactors employing undocumented workers were getting all of the roofing business, so reluctantly, the honest contractors had to hire illegal undocumented workers as well in order to remain in business.

            What this really means is that American skilled and unskilled roofers, that once upon a time, were able to make a living doing roofing no longer have a job. That is, they don't have a job unless they are wiling to work for undocumented wages that will not support an American family.

            Who speaks for the skilled and unskilled American works displaced by illegal workers? Who indeed. 

           

 

 

 

 

Words

Sticks and stones can break my bones,
But words can really hurt me.

Words are so being used today to mislead, misinform, and in general, words are being used in a deliberate manner to shape opinion. Here are a few:

Illegal Immigration. Immigration is the process where a potential immigrant complies with the law and becomes a citizen. You cannot be an immigrant if you simply entered the country with the intent of staying and becomming a resident, you are instead, a criminal, not an Immigrant, illegal or otherwise.

Liberals are called liberals because they are liberal with other people's freedoms, money and property. Liberals are not liberal with their own freedoms, money and property.

Conservatives are called conservatives because they try to keep what they have earned.

Conserative are not knuckle-dragging mean people who are not concerned with other peoples welfare.

 

Education reform. Usually menaing more money is shoveled into the educational system (teachers, administrators, buildings, ect.) when history has shown that more money does not equal more education, usually the reverse. Reform can only come when there is a culture for learning in the children to be educated.

 

The USA is a Democracy. The USA is a democratic Republic, and was never intented to embrace "one man, one vote" of a pure democracy.

We Patriots Shall Fight

Our country is in peril by the choking indifference of it's once proud, independent and freedom loving citizens. Our cherished institutions lay in waste, our Constitution has been shredded by idiot savants, productive workers iddled by the narcotic of entittlement, dark age savages attack us with impuntity. Patriots must feel as if we have been backed-up to our Dunkirk with no where to go.

Let us rally once again to the words  Winston Churchill:



"Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail……….We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall never surrender."

The Gun Problem

The Gun Problem

 

On 14 December 2012, in the town of Newtown Conn., a monster walked into the Sandy Hook Elementary School with a modern weapon. The monster, with game-like precision, killed 20 innocent children and 4 ill-fated adults. The country was not only stunned, people were sickened and outraged. The President, also expressing outrage, quickly gathered his advisers, and with swift action, assessed the blame of the senseless massacre on the easy availability of modern guns. The President said Guns are the problem and more laws restricting guns will address the problem of innocent children being gunned down in the future.

            The new laws will make getting modern weapons, with high fire rate and capacity capability, much more difficult by citizens, thereby assigning a much needed measure of protection to our children from monsters with guns. Most people agree. Unfortunately, the law will also affect the 99.9% of the citizens who keep and bear arms as a Constitutional right and would never consider using their guns to gun down children. However, all responsible and reasonable citizens will recognize the need to limit some Constitutional freedoms in order to protect our children.

            Twenty innocent children being murdered is so painful that clearly more needs to be done to protect our children. Who could not agree? It may come as a surprise to some, but according to Government records (https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/factsheets/fatality.pdf) over 1,560 children died from abuse or neglect in the year 2010. Experts in the field of Child Abuse say that the 1,560 murdered children is only the number reported. It is estimated that another 50% of murdered children is never reported. What makes this statistic so sickening is that the children who died from abuse and neglect, were killed by people in charge of their care, and the killing was much more horrible and terrifying than the antiseptic killings in Sandy Hook. Beating, shaking, drowning, stabbing, etc. is just some of the ways monsters kill our innocent children, each and every day.

            The President should address this horrific problem in the same manner he is addressing the Gun Problem. The problem with abused children being killed is that irresponsible people are in charge of the care of our children. The problem is irresponsible care givers, so the solution will be to enact laws that will establish a board of knowledgeable people that will require people, who wish to have children, to obtain a Government license to have children. The board will identify irresponsible people who will be most likely to abuse and kill their children and these people will not be given a license to have children or permitted to have children. All responsible and reasonable citizens will agree that a limited loss of Constitutional freedom will be necessary to protect our children from the abuse monsters. 

Removing God and Christianity From Society

Perhaps you are amazed and confused by the accelerating assault on God and Christianity in the good old USA, I know I am. Just yesterday, The Daughters Of The American Revolution (DAR) issued directives that forbid any mention of God or Jesus in any of their documents, songs, speeches or official dealings. Amazing! The American Revolution was all about freedom of religion and the founders put God and Jesus into every aspect of the new American Government, and now the DAR refutes the foundation of their, and our, heritage. On must wonder, what is really going on here.

            It has occurred to me, this get God and Jesus out of American society is not random or an uncoordinated set of actions that are occurring. There is obviously something else going on, and I think I have discovered what it is.

Our founders put in God into our Government because they come to believe in the teaching of Marcus Cicero, who in his 51BC Treatise On The Laws, provided the rational notion that God and Nature provides the basic for Human Rights and Justice. Further, the Founders studied the Second Treatise On Civil Government, by John Locke (1632-1704), which codified Cicero’s thoughts into a rational roadmap for establishment of an exceptional Government. You see, your Founders were truly educated men.

The US Constitution is the form and function of our exceptional government and makes legal the notion that our rights and justice comes from God and nature, and man or Government cannot take them away. Thus, establishing the basic principal of Cicero and Locke that Human rights and justice come from God and they are inalienable rights and justice that government or man cannot alter.

It has finally occurred to those wishing to totally control all human behavior, in order to instill their notion of civil justice and the ultimate utopia, God and the doctrine of Christianity must be removed before they can gain complete control. This is why there is now a coordinated effort to remove God and Jesus from American society. For further proof, it was also yesterday that a Professor made news in the New York Times, to wit; (paraphrasing) It is time to tear up the US Constitution that was written by a bunch of old White Men and write a new, progressive Constitution.

Taxes Are Power

This post relates, in part, to the so-called Fiscal Cliff and the contrived crisis to force the country to vote for more taxes, and more power. We deserve what we get.
I hope by now, all of American Citizens fully realize that Taxes are Power, i.e., more taxes equals more power, less taxes equals less power. If the body citizen fails to understand this axiom, then we all will see power continued to be consolidated within the Federal Government at the expense of individual freedom.

So what is the inscrutable way the Government can raise taxes and increase their power and still have the body citizen go along with it?

Why you spend, spend and keep on spending until the national debt threatens to destroy the country which the citizens will then demand taxes be raised to save the country, thats how.

Good Lord, we are so dumb that it staggers the imagination.

Social Lab Rats

From Mr. Mark Levin:

November 7, 2012

MARK LEVIN: We conservatives, we do not accept

bipartisanship in the pursuit of tyranny - period. We will

not negotiate the terms of our economic and political

servitude - period. We will not abandon our child to a dark

and bleak future. We will not accept a fate that is alien to

the legacy we inherited from every single future generation

in this country. We will not accept social engineering by

politicians and bureaucrats who treat us like lab rats,

rather than self-sufficient human beings. There are those

in this country who choose tyranny over liberty. They do

not speak for us, 57 million of us who voted against this

yesterday, and they do not get to dictate to us under our

Constitution.

We are the alternative. We will resist. We're not going to

surrender to this. We will not be passive. We will not be

compliant in our demise. We're not good losers. You better

believe we're sore losers! A good loser is a loser forever.

Now I hear we're called 'purists.' Conservatives are called

purists. The very people who keep nominating moderates,

now call us purists the way the left calls us purists. Yeah,

things like liberty, and property rights, individual

sovereignty, and the Constitution, and capitalism. We're

purists now. And we have to hear this crap from

conservatives, or pseudo-conservatives, Republicans.

Daylight Saving Time

 

After Daylight Saving Time was explained to the old Indian, the old Indian said:

Only the Government could believe you can cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it on the bottom of the blanket, and then have a longer blanket.

Before The Cock Crowed

Peter denied Christ three times before the Cock crowed, and Christ was crucified for man’s sin.

Obama denied his Ambassador three times before the Cock crowed, and the Ambassador was killed for 40 days of reelection politics.

Ronald L Clark announces publication of his latest book, Libertas And Thunderbolt, ISBN-13:9781455751214

A brief Synopsis follows:

Carl Sagan, Steven Hawking, and others, are well known for their theory of why we do not see abundant intelligent extraterrestrial life all around us. The reason being, that once intelligent life discovers technology, that technology is used in a self-destructive orgy that brings about the extinction of all intelligent life within reach. So, when one looks out into the Cosmos to search for intelligent life, all life that once was there, no longer exists, save mankind. This theory, of course, has profound implications for us stranded here on spaceship Earth, especially as we watch in horror as our technology grinds out bigger and more powerful weapons of mass destruction every day. This book is a flight of fancy that supposes our Creators (with profound apologies to those who do not believe we have Creators) have undertaken a mission to save Humankind from blowing themselves to kingdom come just like all of the other "Intelligent" life has already done well before mankind began to build parking lots, shopping malls, and H-Bombs. Our Creators have names, and their names are Yahweh and Asherah. So come take an interstellar ride with Yahweh and Asherah as they struggle to help Humankind become an exception to the doomsday theories of Sagan and Hawking.

This book can be purchased at any book store or on line at any book retailer. I have included links to Amazon and Barns and Noble:

Vesting Redux

Please bear with me as I once again post the piece on the insidious use of VESTING as a means to make Government Programs permanent and unstoppable. I have come upon a quote from President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the implementation of Social Security Program that proves the charge that these programs were developed with vesting as a fundelmental and important part of their structure in order to make them unstoppable. President Roosevelt quote, to wit:
"Those taxes (Social Security payroll taxes) were never a problem of economics. They are politics all the way through. We put those payroll taxes (Social Security Taxes) there so as to give the contributors a legal, moral, and political right to collect their pensions and their unemployment benefits. With those taxes in there, no dammed politician can ever scrap my Social Security Program. Those taxes aren't a matter of economics, they're straight politics."
Quote source: http://www.ssa.gov/history/Gulick.html

Why We Can’t Win At The Ballot Box

You say you want to cut Big Government down to size and regain our freedoms by using the ballot box? Good luck with that. It can’t be done and here is the reason why. VESTING.

That’s right fellow citizens, VESTING. What is vesting? Vesting is when you invest your money, time or other good and valuable resources into a program and then expect a return on your investment. Let me give you a real life example of how our elected Government uses Vesting as an insidious device to perpetuate and expand power by creating basically social programs that cannot ever be stopped or curtailed because of vesting.

Let’s take Social Security as an example and here is how it works. You start a safety net program for old age and pass a law that says you must participate in the program by paying taxes to support the program. Viola, you are now part of the program and you can’t get out without losing all of the money you have paid in even if you could. After time passes you realize that you have paid a great deal of money into the system and you then demand that the program be continued in order that you receive your fair share of what you have invested into the system. In short, you have become VESTED regardless if you wanted to be or not, and the program can never, never ever, be terminated because the citizens have become VESTED in the program.

It only gets better. The Government keeps on expanding the program (Social Security) into other areas and forces you to pay more taxes because you can’t or won’t get out of the program due to VESTING. I bet most people don’t realize that Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, Aid to Dependant Children, etc. were all enacted under the Social Security Act. Insidious. Now multiply all of the others program that use vesting to perpetuate themselves and you have a situation where the citizens of this country will never allow anyone to stop these programs because of VESTING. For these programs to be fair, they should include an “Op In” clause so that if you want the Government to run your healthcare or retirement, then you must Op In into the program and only you and others who Op In to pay the taxes to support the program. I am now laughing out loud! You should live so long. I’m sorry Brothers and Sisters, you can’t fix our Big Government via the ballot box, it was designed to be unstoppable.

Green

I feel compelled to address the ongoing Orwellian speak being accepted by intelligent people everywhere. The subject is the acceptance of the "Green" label for things that minimize the release of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide).
For example: By shutting down coal burning power plants, we will reduce the amount of CO2 released and thereby encourage ways of producing energy that does not release CO2. These new ways of producing energy, sans CO2, is the "Green" way to produce energy.
Incredible; have we completely lost our collective intelligence?
Flora, all plant green things, require CO2 as their life's blood in order to be green. More CO2, more green things. More green things, more O2 for Humans and other animals as a byproduct.

Little Girls

If it wasn't for little girls, the economy would collapse.

Gas Price

I guess being cynical nowadays means you are way more right than wrong.
Take the gas price surge.
Here is a cynical look at why the current spiking gasoline prices could be occurring
What if the oil companies have had a belly full of Obama and his desire to force gasoline price up in order to promote a "green" agenda. So perhaps, the companies are conspiring to jack up the gas prices themselves in order that people will blame BHO for wrecking their economic lives.
You know, a proactive approach to ensure BHO looses the election because it looks like the Repubs are going to screw up this election big time.
I'm just saying

A Conflict Of Visions

Perhaps you have been as confused as I by what is going on in the Political Arena and society in general nowadays. I am confused because I refuse to believe that the root cause of our loss of freedoms and the decline of morality in our society is because the powerful people who are orchestrating the loss of freedom and morality decline are doing it because they are inherently evil. Perhaps I’m an eternal and naive optimist, but I feel for the most part the powerful behind-the-scenes movers and shakers, along with their compatriots in the Governing Class, are not really evil. I like to believe they are not evil because they simply believe that what they are doing is because they sincerely believe that their vision for the country is the best way for all people. They believe and do these things even if they use deceit and power to force people to adhere to their vision. A fine example of, The Ends Justify The Means.

The problem with this, of course, is that evil is never done in the name of evil it is always done in the name of glorious good for all, regardless if the Do-Gooders are evil or not These people may not be inherently evil, but they sure as hell enjoy the power that comes from enforcing their vision. All of which means, free people are no longer free, and are forced to give up their freedom and hard earned treasure by those in power, for the good of all, of course.

I have found some clarity to all of this by reading a book that goes a long way in understanding why these people are doing what they are doing. The book, A conflict Of Visions, by Thomas Sowell:

http://www.amazon.com/Conflict-Visions-Ideological-Political-Struggles/dp/0465002056/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1330702451&sr=1-1

posits that the reason for today’s political schism is because people have a conflict of vision on how society should operate. The difference in visions being:

Constrained and Unconstrained Visions.

Constrained vision meaning, man is born with certain inalienable God given rights along with a hard-wired notion of what is “right” and “wrong” developed from experience generated from countless generations of social living. All of these things then form the inherent nature of man. What this means is that Government must accommodate the fact that man is constrained by these things and must not seek to change the nature of man. The US Constitution is the incorporation of this vision.

Unconstrained Vision meaning, the nature of man is not fixed but is malleble and capable of being changed by superior knowledge and benevolent intent, for the betterment of all. Of course, only those with superior knowledge know what is best for all. Socialist Governance is the incorporation of this vision.

Reading this book will be well worth the while if you are interested in understanding what is going on.

Hubble Far Field Cosmos Video

http://www.flixxy.com/hubble-ultra-deep-field-3d.htm

Required viewing when one believes how important one is.

A discussion:

Very good video, indeed. I follow this stuff with total awe. I have always wanted someone to point the Hubble at a point in far field, record the scene, and then point the Hubble 180 degrees in far field, record the scene, and then determine if the scene is of the same objects in reverse (like a reverse scene in a mirror). My problem is that the objects observed in the Cosmos are always analyzed as if every thing is traveling in a straight line. This defies logic because nothing in nature is linear or straight line. So making measurements of distance as a straight line is flawed if the Cosmos is a contained sphere and Einstein proved that gravity refracts light and all other fields for that matter.

Mitt Romney, AKA Gordon Gekko

I think the Repubs are being suckered. They are being told that Romney is the only one that can beat BHO. The Dems can't wait to portray Romney as Gordon Gekko, because he is. He is not a Capitalist, he is a Money Changer that makes money off of money. Capitalism is when you invest your money in Productive Enterprise and that enterprise makes a product that people buy and all profit.

Romney makes his money by wrecking existing business, and making money off of the parts. Don't forget the issue of the OWS thing is the Fat Cat Money Changers and that issue is supported by a wide majority of Americans, and the Dems will leverage this fact to victory.

Romney is the last person who can beat BHO, IMO.
