Energy and Rights

I’m not hopefully going to make a kind of essay or argument out of this idea …

In science the preservation of energy means energy doesn’t just disappear. So many variables in even the simplest of physical actions, a ball is kicked or a billet fired, equal and opposite reactions - so again energy isn’t dissolving, and is all accountable for in some sense.

Equate this to an issue like people’s rights being taken away from them. Rights here equates in a more subtle sense to energy, perhaps kinetic energy also. If rights are taken away, that means energy is moving from one place to another, those rights/energy don’t simply dissolve, but instead that energy flows to somewhere else - to those taking away the rights. Someone gets weaker, and someone else is getting stronger. That energy has flowed in their direction.

You could go on forever expanding on this issue but anyway that’s the bare bones of it.

Musical Bombshell

Stunning breaking news on the music front where, due to “slight musical differences”, there’s been a split within the ranks of the band Fake News Shitstorm. Whilst everyone insists they all remain best of friends, two of the group are breaking away to form their own band: The Fact Checkers. 

It’s yet to be seen how this will affect sales of Fake News Shitstorm’s latest release, We Are Fake News Shitstorm. The Fact Checkers meanwhile are already primed to release their debut song, Get Your Facts Straight (Checkin’ up on You).

Fake News Shitstorm are currently advertising for a bassist and a trombone player (preferably female).

Bad News

How on the heels of the moronic variant (I’m not sure if I’m spelling that correctly), another strain of Covid has just been announced. It is particularly contagious, and is called the flu variant. Some of you with unusual access to the lands of distant memory may even feel some vague sense of familiarity regarding the flu variant, as if you have somehow encountered it before, who knows, maybe even in a past life.

I happened to see this Russian choir perform a concert some years back in a church in a tiny village in County Kerry on the south west coast of Ireland, however the Russians had ended up there. From what I remember, we just came across them by chance.

Swift Response

Fake News Shitstorm have swiftly responded to the disappointment of being dethroned from the top of the music charts by Deep State Cabal’s Leave Our Pedos Alone by rush releasing their new song, the autobiographical We Are Fake News Shitstorm. 

Christian Rohlfs

 A German artist (1849-1938) who had the honour of, at the age of 88, having his works condemned as degenerate by those young upstarts, the Nazis, and his works removed from public collections. He must have been considered not in line with the desired ethos, and so in came the cancel culture. His work to add, could be much less traditional than the one shown above, and that unfortunately must have really pissed off the idealistic National Socialists and their vision of whatever kind of purity. It’s no good having a vision or a shape you want to impose on reality if everyone else doesn’t get in line. Then you might have to start doing some things like removing a few obstacles - people, art, statues, whatever. Below presumably more the kind of thing from Rohlfs felt to be offensive. 

Remember just because someone is very idealistic doesn’t mean the ideal must be brimming over with truth and goodness. Underneath the warm unifying glow stirred up in its believers, it could be a moronic nightmare. Regardless though of its substance, it can provide them all with great inner fuel - they must actualise the ideal! It must be embodied! Out of our way! Trample them!

Gatesman 9 - Crisis

There has been something of a lull in the Gatesman series, as a result of the Gatesman character suffering a crisis of faith where, believe it or not, he begins to question the value of his remorseless vaccinating efforts: “Whatever I do, everything just seems to get worse and worse! It’s almost like I’m the problem!” 

Nightmares of new variants plague his nights, he wakes screaming and sweating; and only the reassurance of Bono singing lullabies to him via Zoom call is able to calm him and get him back to sleep - where unfortunately more nightmares await him. Then it’s back onto Bono, whose own sleep is suffering. 

Things cannot go on like this, and Gatesman is taken to a special place where, after a week of rest, counselling and electroshock therapy, a new Gatesman arises, reinvigorated, refreshed, and more committed to the cause than ever before. “Get with the program or the program will get you!” is his new motto, which he delivers with a kindly smile, but also, yes, a bit of a hint of madness. 

Actually by some kind of quirk - an offshoot maybe of his week of realignment - he now has trouble saying anything else. There’s been a few awkward moments - for instance with startled waitresses trying to take his order in restaurants, and Gatesman demanding they get with the program - but close colleagues are always on hand to step in where necessary, so it’s not that big a deal and it’s probably just temporary anyway.

Deep

On the music front, that group who get so much corporate and media love, Deep State Cabal, have replaced Fake News Shitstorm’s Comply (Just a Little Bit More) at the top of the charts with their zeitgeist capturing song, Leave Our Pedos Alone. The B-side is Open Borders (Trafficking Kids). These songs are, as always, a soulful blend of soft rock and hard rock, simultaneously both comforting and confrontational. A sample of the lyrics of one of the above songs, I’m not sure which, goes:

If you really love me,

Let me microchip you with a tracking device,

So I always know where you are,

Baby.

Ireland’s No. 1 Covid Success

Waterford, a city of about 50,000 people has the highest vaccination rate of the more sizeable urban centres in Ireland, with a pretty incredible 99.5% of those over 18 years old vaccinated. (Interesting medical titbit: they’ve had to redefine the parameters of “vaccine” for this current “vaccine” to qualify as a vaccine.) Waterford’s astonishing figure of 99.5% is to be greatly celebrated. Their adult population can feel safe and proud to walk again their city’s streets, having passed through - would it never end - that long and dark night of the collective soul. 

Anyway while we’re here, before we all head off our separate ways to do whatever, have a wild guess at where in Ireland might now have the highest Covid infection rate. That’s right - again top of the charts, it’s the lovely Waterford! Give yourself a biscuit if you managed to defeat the odds and guess right.

Progressive/Woke Fundamentalism - and where transgenderism comes in

Why does the adherents of progressivism or ‘wokeism’ behave as though they were part of a particularly fundamentalist, autocratic religion, ready to damn all about it for blasphemies against the faith? This is very obvious but it only struck me earlier, and the answer is that it is a fundamentalist religion. Progressivism is the ideology or faith if Progress - that through the increasing scientific mastering and manipulations of matter, a utopian reality inevitably opens up for man. I’ve a long piece on the ideology of Progress here: https://wwwinabstentia-andrewk.blogspot.com/2012/11/progress.html.

Brave New World is more or less an examination of what kind of world man might end up in time creating for himself as a result from uncritically bowing down to Progress a virtually sacred materialistic ideology. Not a good world.

As I wrote in the linked piece: “The dominant ideology of the relatively modern era, its ambient background, is that of Progress, which could be described as the belief that the increased understanding and harnessing of matter automatically leads to a bettering of human life. That even though these immersions in matter would be ‘pure’ and unimpeded by irrelevant ethical concerns - which interruptions would be alien to these scientific investigations - that life as a whole, including the ethical field, would also somehow benefit as a matter of course from the increased harnessing of matter. The manipulations of matter would be intrinsically ‘good’ in their effect, even though unencumbered by concern with the good.”

Just to mention, an ideology like Marxism is specifically within the umbrella of Progressivism, or that the progression towards the future Marxist utopia is a rational inevitability; that history is ultimately scientific. It’s actually very unromantic, where rather than some Byronic hero or rebel, the Marxist revolutionary is a kind of tool and slave of matter! He’s just a tool of scientific progress. 

Anyway I realised why transgenderism is almost the pinnacle sacred cause for progressivism. As I said above, Progress is a faith in the ever unfolding utopia arising from and in tandem with the harnessing and manipulations of matter. Whilst this is going on though and the arising world taking shape, we could say mankind physically stays more or less as was, and it is his mind high is being manipulated to be in sync with the unfolding progressive utopia, or dystopia as it is truly is. The harnessing of matter is external to man and woman, which isn’t ideal. However here enters the sacred cause of transgenderism, as science manages to get its hands in the human body and start manipulating that as best it can also. Of course the fundamentalist believers in the progressive faith will go into ideological ecstasies over this manna from the materialist heaven. And to remind anyone that this faith is an offshoot of materialism, and indivisible from it, but the exaltation of Progress isn’t so much glorying in matter as much as glorying in the man-made world that arises out of our manipulations of matter - including human matter. It’s self-adoring secularism pushed onwards and onwards, and these victories of man over nature can quite easily be seen to extend into and equate to ancient spiritual issues of revolt against God.

Bourgeoisie, Progressives, Dostoevsky

In Winter Notes on Summer Impressions, written after his first trip to western Europe in 1861, Dostoevsky asks of the French bourgeois, 

Why does he so much want to convince himself that his newspapers are not open to bribery?

Servility keeps seeping into the very nature of the bourgeois and is increasingly taken for virtue. 

...In general, the bourgeois is very far from being stupid, but his intelligence is a short-term one somehow, and works by snatches. He has a great many ready-made conceptions stored up, like fuel for the winter, and he seriously intends to live with them for a thousand years.
And what indifference to everything, what short-lived, empty interests!”

Dostoevsky answers that the bourgeois needs to believe he has triumphed within the framework of society, and the external appearance of this victory is the most important thing. There is no yearning for something beyond the material plane - that would be an expression of dissatisfaction with the material plane! To disbelieve in the State and society is to disbelieve in the arena on which he has his victory. Thus all the servility beneath the State. He and the State are one.

So the true bourgeois is bourgeois in his depths, and opposed to the spirit. To add though, to be of the middle-class doesn’t mean you have to be bourgeois in the spirit.  

And so interestingly the socialists/progressives or whatever they are labelled should you’d think be felt a threat to the bourgeoisie, in actual fact if we push things a little, they become ideologically inseparable, as both are seeking satisfaction at the material level, both denying the spirit. The progressives have greater dynamic force for effecting the make-up of of society because they are fuelled by an idealism, pushing beyond the present, whereas the bourgeois simply will do all to maintain the present. However because evidently it is the progressive element that has taken the reins of worldly society, then the bourgeois to maintain his faith in the State, and the place where he has his victory, falls in line with the progressives, and if society is shifting and various ideologies being inserted into it, well then, that must be all for the best. And thus the unity of the left and the bourgeoisie regarding faith in the mainstream corporate and state media, the removal of evil liberties and all that kind of stuff. Both elements united un servility!

True Satire

What is satire in its true sense? It is not caricature, which is distortion of truth by means of exaggerating a certain somewhat prominent feature - such as someone’s slightly large nose, and ridiculing them by so doing. This might be just for humour and not pretending to be anything more than this, though it may be cruel. But it may also be wilful distortion for propagandist reasons - focusing in on a certain feature and discrediting the whole by exaggeration of this considered weak point: totalitarian regimes and mindsets  would be very prone to these kinds of distortions of enemies - real enemies or usefully portrayed as such. So some facet of the target enemy, the Jew or whoever, is distorted grotesquely, and the concern here obviously is in no sense fidelity to truth, but rather furthering a cause.

True satire though, in its integrity, despite perhaps appearances, has nothing to do with distortion and exaggeration. It is actually hyper-concerned with truth, cutting to its core and highlighting it to perhaps a shocking degree. But the reason it is shocking is not because it is a distortion, but rather because the core is shocking, but the flow of society may be so layered and gradually weakened by ever more encroaching lies that this essence has become accepted and woven into itself. The satire will then probably be dismissed by most as gross exaggeration. Actually, a false step renders satire empty since its connection to truth is what gives it its power and coiled energy. For instance in the scientifically imposed tyranny of Brave New World there are a class of ‘manufactured’ or socially engineered people, the Epsilon Semi-Morons, whose newspapers by intent never contain words of greater than one syllable. Their capacity for independent thought is of course zero. This isn’t an unfair joke but rather the unimpeded progression of an essence already tangible to Huxley which is being highlighted here. 

So satire is a truth revealer. It pushes some idea, agenda or social phenomenon towards shocking conclusions, which are actually plausible and consistent with that ethos, not unfair distortions; and thus the layers of mental obfuscation are cut through and the false nature exposed. It may do this to fantastic levels, but still the connection to truth and its essence is vital. By means of a kind of creative alchemy some truth or truths are encapsulated. Obviously there can be a wild, free humour and imagination involved, in its heights it’s not rationally contrived, so there can be a great liberating force involved in all this also.

Inclusivity, W.H.O.

The World Health Organisation has declared by 2030 it should be universally mandated that within the family structure every second child should be transgendered, thus furthering the sacred causes of inclusivity and progress. “In the interests of the child, this should be effected before he/she or she/he reaches five years of age. The child’s interests come first. After it reaches eight, if desired, depending on circumstances, the child may be allowed transgender back. This is the medical advice we are hearing as of now,” said a spokesperson. 

The main opposition, if it should arise, is expected to come from far-right Christian extremists, who should be dealt with appropriately.

Smallpox Bill

 Bill Gates prophetically predicts potential smallpox problem two weeks before potential smallpox problem surfaces. What a guy. He tends to be so on the money with predicting this unexpected scary outbreak kind of stuff. Just as an aside, I’m not sure if he was asked much about his friendship with someone called Jeffrey during this little media event, or why previously he talked about the desirability of and means towards reducing the world’s population. 

Imagine this guy still being paraded as legit and to be respected.

Roots and Flowers

“Which is more important - the flowers or the roots?”

“Well, the flowers are so lovely, while the roots are just gnarled and ugly and down in the depths. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just have all these flowers but without the roots?”

“Well, the roots can get by without the flowers, not vice versa.”

“But the flowers can get by for a while, say in a nice vase with some water.”

“Not for long. All that’s in the vase soon enough is withered flowers, useless stalks and smelly water.”

Primal Self in Action

I’ll try and keep this simple for my own sake, but I don’t know if I fancy my chances. (edit: Actually, now that it’s been written it’s the last long paragraph that I finally get to the core of this if you want to skip the other bits) 

Humans are extremely complex beings, obviously on a biological level, and with what we could call the pure animal drives, whilst also in terms of consciousness depths endlessly beyond and superfluous to a ‘biological’ mode of existence, such as appreciation of art, an ironical or absurdist sense of humour, etc, etc. We can extend this pathway of refinement of consciousness into the self as spirit, and where the more in the realm of the spirit one is the less tied one is to the animal drives. Fasting can be mentioned as even a kind of battleground of self seeking to override the animal drive to deepen access to the spiritual. If we look at it closely enough, good and evil even more or less equate to a greater or lesser domination of self by the primal drives, and gratification of these drives even wilfully at the expense of others, where their pain even adds to the pleasure, as this is an intensification of the triumph of self. So it’s evil as egotism. And to add where animals are naturally dwelling as animals, and  it’s not correct to say a human, with all his complexity of consciousness, is simply doing so also. For someone to be a Jeffrey Epstein is a huge perversion of self. It isn’t simply about animal pleasure, there is a pleasure in terms of the mind in the perversion - and that is the pleasure of evil. The very awareness of it as perversion is the essence of soul of this world, the world of evil.

This has gotten way beyond what I wished to focus in on! So all that wasn’t to say the biological self and drives are evil, but the self as slave to them is. There’s obviously all kinds of ideological divides here: of glorification of the self as simply animal or the spirit, of wishing to escape the animal self with for instance even religious sects of castrates taking this to extreme levels, and on the other hand, the glorification of self as animal, and wishing to deny the spirit - another form of self-castration.

Finally I’m getting around to the simple thought that I was looking to express! Even and maybe especially for someone who wishes to deepen the living spirit within them, the immense power of the animal drives must still be acknowledged, and not just simply labelled evil, and something shameful to escape. What is possibly the most immediate and powerful means of seeing this biological hardwire in action in everyday life, and its prime motivation of self-preservation? You might think hunger or sexual attraction, but we are able to withstand those instincts, however powerful. We don’t just leap on beautiful strangers, or grab delicious looking food from a table outside a restaurant as we pass by and are tempted. So here the self is more than capable of resisting the animal drive. The primal self is here nothing like absolute master.

It struck me yesterday how to witness the greatest access to this animal hardware within us, that is operating independent of our conscious selves, and which it is nigh on impossible to override. It’s very simple. Close your eyes whilst walking. Do this somewhere even where there is no one else around and no obstacle in your path that you need to avoid - say on a beach, an empty football pitch or open field. So there is no need for you to see what is around you, and yet what will happen after just a handful of seconds? In my own experience, and I’d imagine it would be very much a communal one, after the first few seconds where one is fine, suddenly I hit this kind of wall where the need to open my eyes becomes irresistible, impossible to ignore and overcome. It’s not a question of my conscious self being in fear. I know I have just looked a few seconds earlier and there is no reason I can’t simply keep walking with my eyes closed. I am not about to walk into the path of a car, fall off a cliff or whatever, but what is happening isn’t the conscious ordinary thinking self. I’ve instead gone into the primal circuits of the animal self, and walking around with one’s eyes closed an environment that one should always be aware of as potentially threatening is an absolute no no! And though my conscious self wants to keep my eyes closed in this little harmless experiment in being, it’s just impossible for me to do so. My primal self, hardwired into my biological being, completely dominates the moment. It is being threatened by the strange conscious self ‘upstairs’ acting suicidally in its relationship to external reality, and so the massive drive for self-preservation kicks in. Unlike with the other examples, because of the wilful cutting off of sensory information, the primal self experiences the situation as being placed in immediate danger of extinction, and with very good, very ancient reasons, the conscious self is completely over-ridden.

Of course one could train oneself to gradually make steps even here in expanding one’s resistance to this drive, but that’s not in any sense a counter-argument to this. 

Isaiah, Scourge

I’m not going to claim the following from the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 28 is  prophetic for our time but it certainly just struck me strongly. Whether it resonates with truth or feeling and desire, who knows.

Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers, who rule this people in Jerusalem.

Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves;

Therefore thus says the Lord God …

I will make justice the line and righteousness the plummet;

hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overwhelm the hiding place.

Then your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with hell will not stand; 

when the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be beaten down by it.

From the time it goes forth it will take you …

and it will be sheer terror to understand its message.

‘Truth’ and Power

‘They used to say”power is where the truth is”. And that’s the way it is, they always come together. But not because the power goes to where the truth is. It’s the truth that crawls over to where the power is. When people try to understand where the truth is, they’re really trying to figure out on the sly where the power is. A man feels with his heart, not his mind. And what the heart wants above all is to survive.”

… “People gladly serve and believe in the most abominable lies if someone will set them up with a good life as a result.’

Train

A train was full of excited passengers, unusually so, enthusiastic presumably for the place they were headed, and also a little perhaps simply for the pleasure of the journey. The train left the station and headed left. We’ll skip the pleasures of the journey, but anyway much time later some people tried to make it known that it was here they were getting off. They were a little surprised maybe that up till now there had been no stops, but anyway, whatever about that, all the best to everyone who was continuing on further but this was far enough for them. The future would surely would treat everyone well, and we were essentially all on this journey together … brotherhood … sisterhood - naturally things weren’t spoken out quite like that, it was more a common and understood feeling than anything else.

However when they finally found some official on the train to clarify about where and when they could expect to be disembarking, they were astonished to be told that there would be no stops, everyone had to go on this journey all the way to the end. And this was related quite sternly, the passengers were even made to feel some kind of guilt, and which they did feel by some kind of osmosis, for thinking of not completing the journey all the way to the end. What kind of brotherhood and sisterhood could it be if they thought they could go getting off whenever and wherever they chose - again this didn’t need to be pronounced. And so they sat back down, and looked out the windows at the changing terrain.

Bill Gates Switches Sides

“You’re not going to get Covid if you have these vaccinations.” Joe Biden

I’m not going looking up the exact quote but one of the Pfizer overlords, or maybe even the main one - hard to believe though we could be addressed from such a height - but anyway he just claimed anyone spreading Covid misinformation is a criminal act. Which, apart from all its legal implications, presumably implies someone knows exactly what the true information is. Well who better to know than Mr Vaccine himself, Bill Gates, and so, helpfully, he just happens to have relayed what he considers the confirmed reality about all this to be: “Vaccines only slightly reduce the transmissions. We need a new way of doing the vaccines.”

Not the greatest endorsement ever. Criminal charges may be coming Gates’ way very soon if Pfizer’s word really is law. Remember, justice has no favourites. Alternatively if Gates is correct, then it is people like Biden, Mr Pfizer, mainstream media outlets and governmental authorities all around the world who are spreading misinformation, and so it is they who may be in peril. With all this confusion, I just hope no one starts questioning the brilliance of the masks. I love the masks.

It looks like the lovable YouTube/Google protectors have done some digital book-burning, and so that Salty Cracker video, showing Bill Gates saying what I’ve quoted, has been removed because presumably it equates to misinformation. It’s getting so hard to know what’s information and what’s misinformation. Here though is the same video from Salty’s Rumble account:

Gatesman 8 - A Phantom Menace

I have news of the most exciting development in a while in the Gatesman series. From out of the shadows emerges Gatesman’s most deadly and dangerous foe yet - full of deceit and lies, Ivermectin Man. Is this a lone nutcase or, dreadful to contemplate, could he be part of a wider, insidious campaign of disinformation which threatens the very fabric of the world Gatesman defends and furthers with all his powers? A deadly race is on. Can Gatesman, with the help of his friend Jeffrey and his airplane, inoculate the world before it is too late?

Why Is

I’ll try to make this as brief as possible, and the more brief I succeed in making it the more presumably incisive the expression of the thought. To say also we have to be very careful about falling into self-exalting pride when talking of these kinds of matters, wallowing in some sense for example of even being external to and above reality, and judging it.

If reality were simply rational, there would be no reality as the rational state of existence would be nothingness, which could only produce more nothingness. However we have in existence obviously ‘somethingness’, and so then we have to go beyond rationality to explain this somethingness that is in direct contradiction to the rational state of nothingness that should otherwise be. So then we can say God is brought in as a necessary explanation, that lies beyond the natural or rational. So the supernatural is inclusive of the natural but far above it, and its source. It is not irrational, which is beneath the natural or rational!

But then naturally - stressing ‘naturally’ - someone can say, “But where does God come from so?!”

But this is to immediately try to bring the supernatural down to the level of the natural again, which we had just had to go beyond to explain the existence of the natural! 

This is an unfathomably enormous thought or reality - why or how God is - and it’s unanswerable.  We’re obviously well beyond that plane of natural causality. For the intellect thinking it can retain its own primacy with such questions is akin to a minor object hurtling towards the sun. What will happen the object the close it gets? One clue: it won’t colonise the sun!

Cult, Microsoft

I think it’s quite obvious Bill Gates is, beneath whatever veneer, more or less insane. That’s not being flippant or unfair. He is head or at least considered head of a company called Microsoft - we don’t need to get too anal about whatever the official state of play is with his current status in the company, and  I’m not that interested to find out. Whatever his exact status, we’ll say he’s the spiritual head of the organisation. Now let’s have a look at some people within that organisation, and see if there are any signs of disturbing influences having leaked themselves in their direction.

Holy crap! It’s very hard to believe but this, with the obvious exception of a few added little snippets, is apparently genuine footage, not parody. As a YouTube comment puts it: “Not a cult. Definitely not acting like people in a cult.” 

And just a reminder that this stuff is the offshoot in Gates of someone  at the very heart of things like climate change agenda, cultural and gender identity stuff and some other much loved issues. 

I am still very open to this above being a piss-take, but it seems for now it really is real. But maybe I am being unfair about all this. It might be worth for example next time you meet a stranger, introduce yourself by saying, for example: “Hi, my name is David. I am a Caucasian male with subtle but perhaps misleading hints of Asiatic bloodlines. I am medium tall with black hair, and am wearing a blue t-shirt and red trousers. I go by he and him, but I will not be offended if you choose to address me more fluidly.” Then smile enthusiastically with an extraordinarily open and unthreatening expression. You will have made a new friend, possibly even for life.

To add something else that just came to mind: in literature obviously the two most famous dystopias are Huxley’s Brave New World published in 1932, and Orwell’s 1984. from 1949. One social-literary question that comes up is which of these warning visions was broadly turning out to be more prescient. Not to over-simplify, but while it’s a big mixture of the two, overall it’s looking like Brave New World for the compliant, and on the way there 1984 for the uncompliant. The boundaries are far from clear though. It’s an overall composite of “Fear, fear, fear!” and “Here’s something pleasurable to alleviate your fears. Ahh, you’re safe with us.” The above Microsoft footage with its utterly inane ‘happiness’ is essentially right out of the Brave New World vision, although in ways maybe even more pathetic than Huxley envisaged.

Obviously though there is also a hell of alot of resistance to this toxic idiocy. That was the point of such books - not to win some kind of “I told you so” battle after everything has gone under, but to raise awareness about where things could go if unchecked.

ID

“Hi, sorry, I came to vote in the election but I’ve just realised I forgot my voter ID. I’m going to have to come back later.”

“You don’t need voter ID! Voter ID is racist! It’s sickening to expect people to have to get hold of something like that just so they can vote! It’s so discriminatory against minorities! It’s disgusting! 

I’m sorry I need to calm down. The whole thought of it just makes me so angry!”

“Seriously - I can vote without ID?! That sounds mental.”

“Of course you can! We’re all liberal here! Just show me your vaccine passport and you can come in and vote away.”

Education, Parents, State

In the build-up to the election for Governor of Virginia, not that I saw it in anything but passing, the issue of education was apparently a major issue with the Democrat, Terry McAuliffe I think, declaring that parents had no say whatsoever in the nature of their children’s education. This presumably in relation to issues like forces behind schooling using education as a means of indoctrination of children into leftist/progressive/materialist ideologies, and so the hard pushing of things like critical race theory and so on.

Initially it might seem reasonable to say the parents should not be involved in colouring the curriculum, but the issue is actually a very fundamental one. Within what we might call the democratic ideal, the person is sovereign, and while patriotic unity is very much a given, the State is something to be kept in check. If there is a highest principle it is a union of man’s innate sovereignty over himself, and his humility beneath God who endows him with inalienable rights and freedoms - this in the American democratic model. Thus flows the moral principles, rights and wrongs that so on. By man, I obviously include woman but it’s too tedious to keep having to include that point in every sentence structure!

Within progressivism and socialism however, which very much tends to include the soft sounding liberalism, this relationship of man to State is reversed. Within this thinking man is owned by the State, and the US Democrat Party, despite their name, are clearly of this ideology. And so for McAuliffe the parents have no say in the nature of their children’s education. Their connection within this materialism is that they are the biological means by which the children came about, but once they are alive they are owned by the State. And this is what is meant by the parents have no say in their children’s education, because they are the State’s property, not bonded in some much deeper sense to their parents.

It doesn’t take much to see that this is the same issue at stake globally with mask/vaccine mandates, etc. It is an assertion of the primacy and even bodily ownership by the State of the individual, who it attempts to give no choice to but to bow down. Within a realised socialist/progressive system you either surrender and be a cog in the machine, or be crushed by the machine. No internal contradictions to its self-declared perfect system of coercion and obedience are allowed.

Body Language and Mr Gates

I can’t really say but someone in this might be vaguely connected to the famous Gatesman series. When a ridiculously dubious man like this has talked of reducing the world’s population with the help of vaccines, before you even look at anything else, that’s a pretty good starting point for being a little sceptical or wary about certain things.

The video is an academic analysis of Gates’ answers and body language when asked in interview about his  relationship to Jeffrey Epstein. Spoiler alert: Bill is a train wreck.

Truth

If I want to overcome or not fall prey to falseness in myself, what do I have to do? Take truth very seriously. I can’t just wander about and hope by chance every now and then I might bump into it, and that will keep me going for a while!

Most Popular Ever

Joe “My Butt’s Been Wiped” Biden is, as we all know, by far the most popular US President ever because of course those vote counts were very legit. No one had ever gotten as many as 70million before the 2020 election. Trump absolutely smashed the previous highest total gaining officially about 74 million votes. Wow, Trump must have won by a landslide! No, coming up on the rails in the dead of night was Joe Biden with his 81 million votes, wherever he got them all. “No one’s ever previously gotten as many as 70 million, and my vile opponent just got way more? I’m going to get more than 80!”

With those kind of numbers it’s almost as if we were suddenly dealing with a completely different country. People, even perhaps dead and non-existent ones, must have recognised something truly astonishing in this man, despite his obvious cognitive issues. Or, who knows, maybe it was that in a confusing and complex world they actually found comfort in his frequent inability to coherently form unscripted sentences - or perhaps even to coherently read scripted ones. Perhaps the thought of a senile old man holed up in his basement and getting his butt wiped somehow captured the spirit of the moment.

And as a reflection of this unprecedented level of love, F*** Joe Biden/Let’s Go Brandon has of course gone super crazy viral, even dominating music charts, despite Let’s Go Brandon chart toppers being banned for instance from YouTube for some reason. Maybe the big tech benevolent overlords are afraid the internet might overheat if all this adoration for one man is allowed to get too out of hand. Those gatekeepers of reality love the public almost as much as the public loves Joe Biden.
