Paul Krugman Discovers Marx (And Misses The Point)

In his recent New York Times op-ed piece, Princeton professor and regular columnist for The New York Times Paul Krugman observed:

“The American economy is still, by most measures, deeply depressed. But corporate profits are at record high. It’s simple: profits have surged as a share of national income, while wages and other labor compensation are down. The pie isn’t growing the way it should — but capital is doing fine by grabbing an ever-larger slice, at labor’s expense.”

And then he adds with almost shocked incredulity: “Wait – are we really back to talking about capital versus labor? Isn’t that an old-fashioned, almost Marxist sort of discussion, out of date in our modern information economy?”

This is exactly the conflict that Marx identified as the fundamental, inescapable contradiction of the capitalist system that would eventually create the conditions of its downfall: there is a tendency for the owners of businesses, the capitalists, to accumulate ever-vaster wealth while the people who work for them experience a declining standard of living.

Marx supported this conclusion by offering a description of the fundamental operating mechanism of capitalism. Capitalism is based on the principle of private ownership and competition. Private businesses compete with one another for customers, and those who fail to attract a sufficient number eventually perish. But in order to attract customers, businesses must maximize the quality of their product while minimizing its price. If two products embody the same quality but one is cheaper, customers, in pursuit of their self-interest, will purchase the cheaper version, all other factors being equal.

This means that capitalists must constantly attempt to minimize the price of their product simply for the sake of their own survival. If a business devises a way to lower costs, it can capture the market. But, as Marx pointed out, labor costs are a huge factor in determining the price of a product. So those businesses that minimize labor costs can prevail in the dog-eat-dog world of capitalism. For this reason, a downward pressure on wages and benefits is always operating to one degree or another.

But Krugman made no reference to this aspect of Marx’s analysis and instead identified two other factors that contribute to the growing inequality in wealth between capitalists and workers, both of which are discussed by Marx.

The first factor involves the introduction of technology into the labor process, i.e. “labor-saving” technology. In other words, machines replace workers or reduce the amount of skill required in the labor process. To give a current example, software has been developed that analyzes legal documents at a fraction of the time it takes lawyers while costing much less. Accordingly, many well-paid lawyers lose their jobs to such software. Living during the industrial age, Marx supplied many such examples.

Krugman referred to his second explanatory factor that increases inequality between capitalists and labor as the “monopoly power” of large corporations where “increasing business concentration could be an important factor in stagnating demand for labor, as corporations use their growing monopoly power to raise prices without passing the gains on to their employees.” Here Krugman is approaching the heart of Marxist theory.

Krugman is basically arguing that large corporations use their power to override purely economic trends and simply demand that their employees work for less. But this is precisely the point of Marxism, although from the other direction. Marx persistently argued that capitalism could not function without the willingness of the working class to perform the work. When workers organize and engage in collective action by withholding their labor, the balance of power shifts in favor of the workers who can then demand higher wages as a condition for their return to work, as the ILWU (International Longshore and Warehouse Union) recently did on the West Coast and the teachers did in Chicago.

Amazingly, Krugman never mentions the decline of organized labor as a huge factor explaining the decline of the standard of living of working people, adding that there has been so little discussion of these developments. But others, especially former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, have discussed these trends and identified the decline of labor as a major factor.

In the 1930s when labor unions were tenaciously fighting for working people, huge gains were made in terms of salaries and benefits. They conducted militant sit-down strikes and mobilized tens of thousands of people from the community to support labor’s struggles. Their successes were to a large degree responsible for the emergence of the so-called middle class that thrived in the 1950s and 1960s.

Workers who are organized, acting both collectively and forcefully, can change the economic landscape. But once organized labor becomes complacent and relaxes its guard and ceases to struggle, the laws of capitalism ineluctably grind down their gains and the growing inequality returns until workers again rise up.

Marx argued that eventually workers would see the futility of this repeating cycle, reject capitalism altogether, and begin to construct a socialist society built on entirely humanistic and democratic principles.

In a recent New York Times article on unionizing workers at the bottom of the pay scale, a union organizer was quoted as saying, “We must go back to the strategies of nonviolent disruption of the 1930s.” Currently organized labor is all but dying out. Strikes are like an endangered species. Rather than engaging in militant struggles, union members are urged to elect Democrats who then call on workers to accept sacrifices.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka has called on working people “to fight like hell” to resist cuts to Social Security and Medicare. But these are just words. To this date, the unions have failed to mobilize their members to stage massive demonstrations across the country against cuts to these popular social programs – demonstrations that could culminate in hundreds of thousands of working people descending on Washington, D.C. to make their demands clear to the Obama administration and the rest of the politicians. Without the unions taking the lead in this struggle, there is little individual workers will be able to accomplish. And if the unions refuse to return to their more militant roots but remain invisible, economists like Paul Krugman will continue to ignore their existence and overlook their current historic failure to defend working people.

Suppose You Were An Idiot And Suppose You Were A Member of Congress, Ah, But I Repeat Myself

This past Tuesday night, I spoke to a large “Town Hall Meeting” audience in Cheyenne, Wyoming as to the greatest danger facing America in the 21^st century: endless immigration overwhelming the United States by adding 100 million within 25 years. I informed the audience the audience that our U.S. Congress continues importing 100,000 legal immigrants every 30 days.

Most of the audience gasped at the numbers. One lady said, “Could you please repeat that figure.”  When I did, she said, “I had no idea.”

Most Americans do not know nor do they comprehend the enormity of such massive numbers of human beings being imported into America without pause for the last 45 years. They cannot imagine that our country gallops toward adding 100 million more people in less than 25 years.

Few grasp the environmental, energy and resource issues that 100 million people present.  Fewer still understand the quality of life and standard of living consequences.  Less than that understand the sociological consequences of adding so many incompatible cultures and religions.

In his farewell speech, former Texas Congressman Ron Paul, probably the most reasonable man in Congress, spoke about the five dangers to our republic.

They are as follows:

1.      The continuous attack on our civil liberties which threatens the rule of law and our ability to resist the onrush of tyranny.

That “onrush” of tyranny stems from our own ranks as we import endless poverty into this country.  We import endless numbers of people that cannot be fed, housed, employed or assimilated.  Those millions will create greater attacks on our civil liberties as well as our resources, freedoms and quality of life.

2.      Violent anti-Americanism that has engulfed the world. Because the phenomenon of “blow-back” is not understood or denied, our foreign policy is destined to keep us involved in many wars that we have no business being in. National bankruptcy and a greater threat to our national security will result.

If you look in on our own country, such men as Pastor Jeremiah Wright, the former preacher for Barack Obama, cursed America.  Over 7 million Muslims cannot and will not assimilate into Western thought and do not feel America is their home.  They bow to Muhammed five times daily and follow the Koran and wish to implement Sharia law into America.

Writer Sam Francis said, “You cannot separate a culture and its attendant civilization from the genetic endowments of its founding people, nor can you expect to transfer it to another people, i.e. [immigrants.]”

It is not in the cultural DNA of incompatible ethnic tribes to mesh with American life, and it’s even easier to condemn us for our creating wars around the world at every decade.  No one supports America’s wars in Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq and Afghanistan.  Why should they? Why would they?

3.      The ease in which we go to war, without a declaration by Congress, but accepting international authority from the UN or NATO even for preemptive wars, otherwise known as aggression.

The fact remains that George Bush must be tried as a war criminal for his war on Iraq. He created enormous human misery and he lied to the American people about a non-existent threat of weapons of mass destruction, which were totally created out of thin air.

4.      A financial political crisis as a consequence of excessive debt, unfunded liabilities, spending, bailouts, and gross discrepancy in wealth distribution going from the middle class to the rich. The danger of central economic planning, by the Federal Reserve must be understood.

As our third president, John Adams said, “There are two ways to conquer a country: by the sword and by debt.”  We are well on our way to self destruction by our $16 trillion debt soon to be $20 trillion at the end of Obama’s last term.

5.      World government taking over local and US sovereignty by getting involved in the issues of war, welfare, trade, banking, a world currency, taxes, property ownership, and private ownership of guns.

Such UN mandates like Agenda 21 force us out of our independence and into outside control by outside entities.  World government will never work because all politics and all workable ideas for free people start at the local level and all problems must be solved at the local level.  World government resembles Marxism and we know where that leads.

American citizens need to wake up to their own demise. We need to get rid of the entire Congress and vote new minds and fresh thoughts into Washington DC.  Mark Twain said, “Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress, ah, but I repeat myself.”  Today, Americans stand like cows watching the rancher as he circles them and heads them toward the slaughter house.

Political Partisan Psychological Disorders

Before one can understand the nature of partisan or party politics, a correct comprehension of The Choice of Ideology is essential.

“Contemporary Political Ideologies is a text book that has been around for a long time. Many of the usual suspects are covered: Capitalism, Socialism, Democracy, Conservatism, Liberalism, Nationalism, Marxism, Fascism, Anarchism, Libertarianism, Feminism and Environmentalism. Since written, additional offshoots have come to include: Neoconservatism, the Paleo versions of Conservatism and Libertarianism and what we will call “Inherit Populism”.

These broad based viewpoints have distinctions, sometimes subtle, often dramatic. The reason why partisan politics is a blood sport is that it is waged to achieve a false party line. BREAKING ALL THE RULES advocates a paleo-conservative philosophy based upon traditional values and moral principles. Consistent with the historic legacy of the founding of this Nation is a lament that most inhabitants are oblivious to our ingenious heritage and purpose of the American Revolution.

The article, Ideology Matters, But What Is It?, clearly repudiates the destructive ideologies that result in the suicidal course this country has taken, especially in the last century.

“The test for valid support is simple. The legacy of the New Deal to the Good Society has constructed a total reputation of American ideals. To deny this reality, is to associate yourself with the cause of depravity. There is no room to compromise on this axiom. The lines are clear, distinct and irrefutable. Career operatives rationalize their support for destructive policies as the price for civility. The notion that getting along with the opposition that is bent upon the destruction of the Nation is psychotic. When polls are cited that the public wants less ranker, leadership sinks into the cauldron of deceit and treachery of our heritage. Those of us who advocate a State responsive and accountable to the citizen, are left with few champions to carry the banner of limited government.”

Rejecting an artificial left/right template for a deeper analysis of the publically accepted nomenclature of liberal vs. conservative is a constructive leap to appreciate the differences that are so prevalent among different factions within society.

How individuals assess politics often rests upon their own personality and outlook. From a report in Clinician’s Digest, the following insights are useful.

“Personality differences are a leading candidate in the race toward understanding the rift between political liberals and conservatives. Using data compiled from nearly 20,000 respondents, Columbia University researcher Dana Carney and colleagues found that two common personality traits reliably differentiated individuals with liberal or conservative identifications. Liberals reported greater openness, whereas conservatives reported higher conscientiousness. This means that liberals (at least in their own estimation) saw themselves as more creative, flexible, tolerant of ambiguity, and open to new ideas and experiences. Across the political personality divide, conservatives self-identified as more persistent, orderly, moralistic, and methodical.

Evidence suggests that these personality differences between liberals and conservatives begin to emerge at an early age. A 20-year longitudinal study by Jack and Jeanne Block showed that those who grew up to be liberals were originally assessed by their preschool teachers as more emotionally expressive, gregarious, and impulsive when compared to those who became conservatives, who were considered more inhibited, uncertain, and controlled. Liberals may show greater tolerance for diversity and creativity, but they may also be more impulsive, indecisive, and irresponsible. On the flip side, conservatives may be organized, stable, and thrifty, but also have stronger just-world beliefs (leading to a greater tolerance for inequality), and stronger fears of mortality and ambiguity. Even recent neuroscience work published in Current Biology from University College London identifies fundamental differences in the partisan brain. Brain scans revealed a larger amygdala in self-identified conservatives and a larger anterior cingulate cortex in liberals, leading the researchers to conclude that conservatives may be more acute at detecting threats around them, whereas liberals may be more adept at handling conflicting information and uncertainty.”

Partisan party proponents, both Democrats and Republicans are practicing Statists. Mutual lust to control the levers of government closes ranks, when an external threat comes from dissenting citizens. This background brings us to examine the essay, Speaking Out Against Government is a Mental Disorder, by Susanne Posel.

“According to the psychiatric manual, the DSM-IV-TR, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a mental disease wherein free thinkers, non-conformists, civil disobedience supporters, those who question authority and are perceived as being hostile toward the government are labeled mentally ill. Psychiatrists refer to this mental defect as “Mentality III”.

This mental disorder is defined as: “a recurrent pattern of negativistic, defiant, disobedient, and hostile behavior toward authority figures that persists for at least 6 months.”

Ms Posel continues:

Symptoms of ODD include:

• negativistic and defiant behaviors are expressed by persistent stubbornness
• resistance to directions
• unwillingness to compromise, give in, or negotiate with adults or peers
• defiance may also include deliberate or persistent testing of limits, usually by ignoring orders, arguing, and failing to accept blame for misdeeds
• hostility can be directed at adults or peers and is shown by deliberately annoying others or by verbal aggression (usually without the more serious physical aggression seen in Conduct Disorder)

If this alleged ailment has, any legitimate clinical application, it seems that these warning signs, foremost apply to elected officials and party organizations. Reinforcing the practice of the partisan political psychopathic art, John D. Mayer in Psychology Today asks two questions. The first is relevant while the second is naive.

“If members of Congress and the executive branch extended genuine respect to one another, wouldn’t they recognize that it is more important to vote for that which is best for the country rather than for that which may promote their political party? If they truly respected one another, wouldn’t the best and brightest among them join in a thoughtful give-and-take to promote good legislation above partisanship?”

Where is the evidence that government has the objective of “doing what is best for the country”? Frankly, the body of facts is so overwhelming that every successive administration builds upon the treason of the last government, that only a faint memory of a constitutional Republic exists. The notion that power hungry grabbers are capable of transcending partisan rhetoric for a good purpose is patently absurd. The only cooperation that ever unites the party politics is to protect the despotism of the State.

Daniel J. Flynn writes about Jonathan Haidt’s book The Righteous Mind in The Psychology of Partisanship.

“Haidt helped devise a questionnaire that gauged moral views by eliciting test-taker responses to statements in five categories: care/harm, fairness/cheating, loyalty/betrayal, authority/subversion, and sanctity/degradation. Haidt likens these moral groupings to the five taste receptors of the tongue (sweet, sour, bitter, savory, salty). It turns out that liberal receptors failed to engage on questions of loyalty, authority, and sanctity. Conservatives, on the other hand, reacted to all five moral categories more or less equally. Haidt’s conclusion is that his fellow liberals are morally tone deaf. “Republicans understand moral psychology,” Haidt concedes. “Democrats don’t.”

It gets worse for liberals. Haidt and colleagues asked their subjects to answer their questionnaire as if they were liberals, as if they were conservatives, and as themselves. Liberals don’t know their political adversaries nearly as well as the right knows them. “The results were clear and consistent. Moderates and conservatives were most accurate in their predictions, whether they were pretending to be liberals or conservatives. Liberals were the least accurate, especially those who described themselves as ‘very liberal.’ The biggest errors in the whole study came when liberals answered the Care and Fairness questions while pretending to be conservatives.” Liberals see caricatures when they see conservatives.

The thesis may prove cathartic for Republican readers. But it’s more useful to Democrats.”

As long as partisan political parties, ignore moral principles, and the “States Rights” framework of limited government the psychological disorders of the ultimate Statist mental illness will spread. It is always amusing when partisan critics rant about the lack of condemnation against opposing party foes, when their silence about the abuses of their patron party hacks goes unspoken.

It is bad enough how ignorant the average voter is when they cast their ballot. As long as people accept and tolerate the two party diatribes against viewpoints that challenge the establishment power cabal, there are no viable prospects for elective solutions. As of this writing, the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll has, “Mitt Romney attracting support from 48% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 47%. One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.”

How can any thinking and responsible American vote for either candidate? Both are tyrannical teammates for the globalist franchise. Those who speak out against the establishment order are not the ones with a mental illness. Those who vote for their own demise are one-step removed from the infective treachery coming out of the federal government. Paleo-conservative ideology is the righteous political philosophy for a Free People. What is the state of your own mental health?

Talmudic Judaism

Pharisaical Legacy…

“Judaism pays elaborate lip-service to the Bible (Tanakh), yet, in truth, the Bible is not a factor in the rise, formation, progress, and emendation of Rabbinic law, except as a prestigious cover and front for what are, in fact, entirely man-make enactments, figments of the rabbinic imagination and extensive revivals of pagan anachronism.” Michael Hoffman, “Judaism’s Strange Gods Pg. 72

“Our youth have “Bats in the Belfry” because Jews put them there. We are at war and we have a police state and our prisons are full of people wrecked by drugs, pornography, economic privation, crazy-maker sugar/fat/additives diet, alcohol, elevating sexual perversion to a political interest group, why everywhere assaulting the values and religious faith necessary for an economy to thrive with strong middle classes and no lower class that is not full of opportunity and means to self-improvement (for example, most people are landless while the country is mostly empty land that the elites have closed to development). The monopoly of real property reinforces in a symbiosis the monopoly of lending and of new money creation by Jews. The state of our morals, laws, politics all stem from this monster of Jewish control. And this monster uses false flag attacks — at the world trade center or at a Batman movie – to move people with fear to give up more and more of those things Jefferson, Madison, Paine, Patrick Henry and others told us to hold on to as the safeguard of our freedom.”  Dick Eastman (Internet post)

“For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.  (Matthew 23:4) Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city, that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abe, to the blood of Zachariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. (Matthew 23:34-35) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!  How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.  Behold, your house is being left to you desolate!  For I say to you, from now on you shall not see Me until you say, Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord!” (Matthew 23:37-39)  The Words of the Savior, Jesus, The Christ.

Quiet acquiescence to the destruction of our nominal United States Christian society by Talmudist Judaism is a mysterious and enduring anomaly.  Judaism is generally thought to be a Biblical, Old Testament religion.  However, according to a new book “Judaism’s Strange Gods” by Michael Hoffman, the Torah is insignificant in the thoughts and considerations of most Jewish Rabbis.  The Torah is the truncated Word of God while the Talmud is a compilation of the historic thoughts of Jewish Rabbis; a collection of humanist books being used as the foundation of a religion.  It is an arrogant, racist, Law defying, screed compiled by Jewish scholars who have never repented from the judgment God brought on ancient Israel for rejecting His Savior.

Hoffman offers an in depth analysis of the religion of Judaism with its surreptitious emphasis on the Talmud and the words of Rabbis who study and comment on its contents. Jewish actions throughout the world reveal an extensive use of Talmudic principles; principles that have grievously affected American society.  The imprisonment of Palestinians and the incremental theft of their land is legally permissible under Judaism.  Stealth is commonly used to deceive Gentiles (Goyum); who are not considered human and can be deceived, stolen from, enslaved, and in certain instances murdered. The Talmud forbids the worship of Jesus and condones the death of Christians.

Creating conflict and division is useful in weakening and enslaving a nation.  Judiacs are and have been busy creating divisions in the United States for decades.  Black/ White relations are worse today than they were fifty years ago.  Multiculturalism has created language barriers as well as social and religious divisions.  Unlimited immigration has destroyed the culture and demeaned the benefits created by our ancestors by throwing them away to foreigners who take our money but not our culture.  Feminism and the blatant promotion of fornication, adultery and homosexuality have destroyed the basic family unit and debased morality here and abroad.

The Trayvon Martin case is an excellent example of Talmudic principles being used to create potential violence.  George Zimmerman who had not criminal record was attempting to protect an apartment complex from a rash of robberies committed by Black youth when Trayvon Martin, a Black teen with marijuana in his system and previous brushes with the law, ambled into the area.  Martin was shot and Zimmerman had bloody wounds to show why.  The Sanford police believed Zimmerman and released him under a Florida Stand your Ground Statute.  The media immediately began showing pictures of a young, innocent looking Martin beside an ugly looking Zimmerman while emphasizing the fact the Martin was “unarmed”.  This mobilized the Jewish supported Black juggernaut and created dangerous, emotional Black sympathy for Trayvon Martin.   Fear of Black violence resulted in the removal of the Sanford police chief and the unwarranted arrest of Zimmerman.

Zimmerman and his wife are now entangled in a dangerous legal mess that may destroy their lives and add them to the plethora of innocents that are already imprisoned.  The case will further divide Whites and Blacks and in the unlikely event that justice prevails and Zimmerman is released, Blacks may riot; if not, the Zimmermans, whose record was clean and whose actions were justifiable, will suffer an inexcusable injustice.

Kindness is not the motivation for Jewish creation and support of the Black agenda.  Blacks are being used as a tool to disrupt society.  They are being used to create angry separation and hate with riots like those in Los Angeles in 1965 and 1992.  As James Jaeger points out in this excellent article on Cultural Marxism, it is not love for Homosexuals that causes the promotion of their agenda but, as with Blacks, a desire to disrupt the culture.  Divisive emotional issues are cleverly exploited to create serious conflict.

There is a startling resemblance between the Third Reich of Hitler’s Germany and Talmudic Judaism:  Racial superiority is common to both; both capture and dominated; both emphasize intellect excellence, both are deceitful and ruthlessly ambitious.

In a sense, the Holocaust was a religious war that set the stage for the rise of the Judiac.  It was a Trojan Horse that created sympathy for a dangerous enemy of the Christian West an enemy that has now successfully captured most of its strongholds.  Sympathy derived from the Holocaust is still a prominent reason for support of Judaism in spite of the fact that the sympathy seekers are among the world’s most wealthy and powerful.

Jewish ownership of the American press and media has resulted in censored, biased, and manipulated news coverage that has not only failed to report the breadth of the news but has purposely distorted the stories it covers.  United States has been gutted; its industry has been stolen and its citizens have been robbed of their wealth because the people were not properly informed.   As prison camps are constructed and plans are made to use the army to control the civilian population the press and media remain silent.

Centralized power is a prime objective for Godless Jews.   They created the Revolution in Russian and were leaders in murdering millions of its citizens.  In America they act as a Fifth Column for the new world order keeping the public ignorant of impending dangers.

There are interesting parallels between the Trayvon Martin case and the creation of neo-Israel.  Both used a powerful latent emotion to create a scenario that demanded gross injustice.  Both created a situation that cannot be equitably resolved.  War and strife have constantly plagued neo-Israel since its inception and Black/White rancor will be a result of the Martin case regardless of the verdict.

Ariel Sharon was quoted as saying that Jews control America.  If he said this, he was correct, they do! The tail is wagging the dog.  Less than three percent of the population of the United States is controlling the remaining 97 percent.  Talmudic Jews own the media which controls politics.  They use that power to promote their own agenda through propaganda and control of coverage.  If President Barak Obama had been properly covered before the 2008 election he would never have been elected.  Congressmen and Senators consistently vote for pro-Israeli legislation because if they fail to do so the media will soon return them to civilian life.

Neo-Cons have infiltrated our government and become media spokespersons for wars that benefit Israel at American expense.  Our money has been under Judiac control since the Federal Reserve Act was passed by congress in the early Twentieth Century.  Control of interest rates and the money supply has allowed our wealth to be siphoned off by low interest rates, manipulated markets, and inflation.

Ninety nine percent of our citizens do not have a clue.  We are in the midst of a religious war between Christianity and Judaism.  Islam is a foreign religion but it is weak compared to the prevailing evil power of Talmudic Judaism.  Vulnerable Christians have been deceived into supporting this wicked agenda; the same agenda that the Savior vehemently condemned.

Being constantly reminded that Israel is our only ally in the Middle East we forget that before the creation of neo-Israel we had no enemies in the Middle East.

Christians are guilty of the same dishonesty that afflicts our press and media, they fail to provide a full report on the evils in our society.  The War on Christianity, abortion, homosexuality, unrestricted immigration, multiculturalism, war for the State of Israel, socialism, torture, worldwide control of currencies, restrictions on freedom of speech, and the centralization of power, all of these and more have Talmudic Jewish roots.

For decades D. James Kennedy railed against the ACLU for its role in removing Christianity from the public square.  Stalwart soldier that he was, he never mentioned that the ACLU could not exist without support from powerful Jews.

Wake up America, the enemy is in your church, school, television, government, armed forces, bedroom, the wombs of your pregnant women, the nationality of your population, the sexual orientation of your children, and the civility of your culture!

“Orthodox Judaism is a religion of lies, a tangled web of deceit compounded by duplicity and wrapped in guile.  We will never restore America’s Christian roots, its Constitution or its Republic as long as Judaism can masquerade as a family values partner with patriots against the forces of evil.  Judaism is a religion founded upon the defiance and nullification of God’s law.”  Michael Hoffman “Judaism’s Strange Gods” Pg. 208

The Left, The Right and Mammon

[Review of Revolution from above, Manufacturing Dissent in the New World Order, by Kerry Bolton, 250 pages. Arktos 2011, UK]

The Left – including Communist Left – is manipulated by the super-rich for their own interests. These super-rich conspire to destroy tradition and create a collectivist world order of despotism under their own guidance, and the Left are “useful idiots” of these greedy for power and money people. This is main thesis of a new book by Kerry Bolton published by the traditionalist publisher Arktos (they also published Evola and de Benoist). Bolton produces numbers and bank accounts (well, almost) trying to prove that feminism, communism, orange revolutions, gay movement and sundry forms of dissent are all sponsored by the oligarchs, Soros or Rockefeller.

This is the stuff the Protocols were made of: their authors claimed the Left, revolutionaries and dissidents are on the payroll of the bankers. However, the Protocols marked the Jews as the ultimate plotters and the Church as the victim or the last defence. Not so in our case. Bolton thoroughly secularised and sanitised his discourse. This book has no references to Jews or the Church (which is suspicious for a theologian the author is), but it basically remained the same old-fashioned rightist screed. Without the spiritual dimension, it is just more boring.

Some of Bolton’s charges are justified up to a point, but his bias undermines his veracity. Granted, the Left’s war on Family, Church and Tradition could contribute to success of the Moneyed Ones. But what about the Right? The capitalist Right destroys the essence of Family, Church and Tradition, while upholding their names. The Left has a fling with Mammon now and then, but the Right is always in bed with Mammon. The wealthy guys spend some small change on the leftist dissidents, because they want to tame them, like one throws morsels to stray dogs to keep them on friendly foot (or paw). The leftists often deserve rebuke, I agree, but the rightists are even worse.

A Traditionalist should not make this mistake. I have a soft spot towards the Traditionalists and Radical Conservatives, followers of Guenon, Evola or Dugin. They are anti-Mammon. They are so far-right, that far-left can befriend them. They lost their battle in nineteen thirties, but regained some ground since then. Usually their political views are sound, whatever one thinks of their visions. Alain de Benoist’s recent maxim would endear this right-winger to any true Leftist: “The main enemy is, on the economic level, capitalism and the market society; on the philosophical level, individualism; on the political front, universalism; on the social front, the bourgeoisie; and on the geopolitical front, America.”

Bolton apparently is not aware that the world changed since 1870 or even 1903. Then one could say that “socialism was used as the battering ram by the new-rich to undermine the old ruling class… and [to install] worship of Mammon as the meaning of life”. Now, we have only Mammonites as the ruling class, and it is not fair to attack leftist dissidents for doing dirty jobs for the Mammonites, while giving a clean bill of health to the rightists who are the Mammonites.

Bolton’s attack on Marxism suffers the same deficiency. He notes that “both Big Business and Marxism view history as dialectical”, and for this reason capitalists support socialist movements. There is a better explanation: history, or rather historical process is objectively dialectical, and capitalists spend money on some socialist activists because they want to subvert and control this dangerous movement.

He impossibly claims that “Marxists believe that socialism cannot emerge in a peasant society”. Indeed some Marxists had this view, but that was before Lenin, Mao, Castro who are as much Marxists as anybody. Bolton remains stuck in the beginning of twentieth century. He approvingly quotes Spengler who said that “all radical parties necessarily become the tools of the Bourse… They attack Tradition on behalf of the Bourse”. Spengler wrote these lines before the Russian revolution which definitely attacked and destroyed the money power, but Bolton repeats that now.

Indeed some radicals could be used as tools by Money, but others, chiefly communists, uprooted the Bourse altogether. So much for the Bolton-Spengler contention that “there is no Communist movement that has not operated in the interests of money”. It has now the same validity as Columbus assertion that Cuba is a part of India.

Bolton dislikes Plato for he was a collectivist and believed in some gender equality. This is a view of pro-market liberals who tell us that Plato is the father of totalitarianism. Thus Bolton fails two of de Benoist criteria at once.

Probably the most misleading and annoying part of Bolton’s book is one dealing with the Bolsheviks and the Russian revolution. Perhaps he copy-pasted it from a 1920s publication. Bolsheviks were set up by New York bankers who welcomed the Russian revolution, according to Bolton. He quotes a congratulatory letter of Jacob Schiff, the banker, to the NY Times dated March 18, 1917 sharing “joy that the Russians have at last effected their deliverance from autocratic oppression through almost bloodless revolution”.

Bolton is not even aware of the profound difference between the February revolution 1917 (arranged by the Russian wealthy freemasons) which was applauded and hailed by the Western financiers, and the October Bolshevik revolution that undid the February plot. He is not aware of Arnold Toynbee’s assessment of Bolsheviks which is almost identical to the Traditionalist reading of the revolution, whether an older one by Pyotr Savitski, the founder of Eurasianism, or the new one by Alexander Dougin, the greatest Traditionalist luminary. All of them considered Bolsheviks as true representatives of the Russian spirit meeting the Western challenge.

Bolton repeats the tales of the White émigrés of 1920s uncritically. He glorifies Admiral Kolchak, the self-appointed ‘Supreme Ruler’ of Russia – but Kolchak came to Russia from the US (like Trotsky) and has been considered an American agent. Bolton speaks of dreadful Red terror and Red atrocities, but the Reds were better than the Whites towards the people, the peasants and workers. Kolchak’s troops were infamous for their atrocities and succeeded to antagonise the apolitical Siberians. The White troops shot industrial workers and hanged peasants for they were imbibed with class hatred. Bolton writes approvingly even of Ataman Semyonov, who was an extremely cruel White commander.

Bolton condemns the US for not doing enough in order to destroy the Bolsheviks right after the revolution. Well, Russia is a biggish country, and the US was not keen to fight it right after fighting Germany. You do not have to be a hidden Commie to be against an intervention, as we know on the lessons of Iraq and Iran. Bolton does not understand that it would not be an easy sailing as the Reds were more popular than the Whites among the masses. A civil war is also a form of democracy, an extreme form, granted: people vote with their bullets instead of ballots. The Reds won in the civil war because the people preferred them, not for support of some New York bankers.

After their victory, Bolsheviks did not sell their country to the named bankers. Other way around, they brought Russia to full economic independence. Bolton quotes Armand Hammer who said that “he never had any dealings with Stalin for … he was not a man with whom you could do business. Stalin believed that the state was capable of running everything without the support of foreign concessionaires and private enterprise”. Bolton also admits that Stalin refused to play ball with CFR and fit into the new world order, or even to discuss it. But was not Stalin an epitome of a Communist? One thinks that this admitted case would force Bolton to reconsider his main thesis, but it did not.

Bolton also refers to Grose, who wrote that the USSR rejected all appeals to establish a World State, and that the Cold War was a real thing, “a genuine divide between globalists and the Soviet block”, not a “conspiracy to fool the world”. Fine! But afterwards, he reverses to his view that the Left is just a tool of the Capital…

After thus dealing with the Russian revolution, the author moves on various dissident movements and attempts to prove they were set up by the super-rich. There is Marcuse, and feminists, and drugs, and rock-and-roll, and modern art, Kinsey report, psychedelic revolution, sex and pornography, and Adorno, and Frankfurt school, and LSE, and NGOs, and NED – all these persons and movements were organised by a secret society of the very-rich Mammonites. What he actually shows that some of them received grants or another financial support or promotion.

There is some truth in his accusations: money passed hands. However, there are much easier explanations than the deadly conspiracy of Kali Yuga adepts. In order to preserve capitalism, privilege and social inequality, the Western elites indeed try to distract the people, especially the rebellious and dynamic ones. Let them use drugs, drink beer, dance all night along and make no meaningful changes or revolutions. Pseudo-left movements and pseudo-radical agenda were promoted in order to keep people away from real radicalism. The people in power prefer us to discuss gender politics rather than wealth distribution.

And some conspiracies, or secretly made plans, do exist. Secret agencies, notably the CIA like to have a finger in every pie. It is well known that the CIA promoted Jackson Pollock, the abstract painter, as a proof of American culture potency against West European Americanophobia. CIA spent much money on development of youth subculture in order to subvert the Soviets, or so they say.
NED is a well-known “open conspiracy” financed by the US administration to supplement CIA efforts to undermine unfriendly regimes.

However, this is not a proof that there is One Huge Conspiracy of the Super-rich to create the World Government. There are many conspiracies, big and small, there are many views and tendencies, and they can’t be reduced to a single ill will.
Despite all these remarks, Bolton’s book has some interesting pages, and can be read – with a grain of salt.

A Two Armed, “Unarmed” Victim

They want to make firearms illegal, they give certain racial groups special treatment,  they censor our news, they manipulate our politics, they support war, they act in unison, they regularly distort the truth by failing to report all of the story, and they degrade our society by presenting immoral and debilitating programs.  They have an agenda, and, without presenting a single dissenting opinion, that agenda is parroted by every employee.  They support world government, and their owners attend international meetings of like minded tyrants.

They have succeeded in jailing a man who was considered innocent by local authorities and are now busy convicting him before he is tried.

Following the shooting of Trayvon Martin (a young man with a rap sheet) by George Zimmerman (a man with a clean record) the media, deliberately ignoring evidence to the contrary, began running an ugly picture of Zimmerman and an attractive picture of Martin.  They ignored the fact that several thefts by young Black males had occurred in the housing development Zimmerman was policing and described Martin as an innocent 17 year old who had been to the store to buy candy.

Something is radically wrong here!   Either the local officials in Sanford, Florida are prejudiced, law breakers who illegally released George Zimmerman by distorting the evidence against him or the media is run by a powerful, mendacious bunch of criminals who are trying to distort justice to serve their own agenda.

Following the shooting Zimmerman was released because his person showed evidence of having been attacked.  The media told a different story: They maintained that Zimmerman had followed Martin and provoked the attack. There was some speculation that Martin was shot in the back.

As would be expected, not long after the media (by media I mean all national outlets, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and FOX, including their affiliate stations, in unison) began every newscast with the same ugly picture of Zimmerman and the sweet, innocent picture of Martin, huge mobs of black protesters appeared on the streets of Stanford demanding “justice for Trayvon”.   The police chief resigned and immediate concessions were made because angry mobs of Blacks wreak havoc on cities that defy their wishes.  President Obama made reference to Martin as a son.  The story became national and Black dignitaries flew in.  The demand was that the decision of the local authorities be reversed and Zimmerman be arrested.  Authorities in Sanford relented, a prosecutor was appointed, and Zimmerman was arrested.

Mob justice prevailed. Zimmerman, a man without financial resources, was publically demonized, endangered by a purposely created mob, and put in a position of having to defend himself.  Whatever is true concerning the guilt of George Zimmerman he has been charged and arrested through the power of the media that incited a mob large enough and dangerous enough to illegally control the decisions of proper authorities.  History confirms that mob justice is invariably injustice.

Fred Reed writes in his usual blunt style, “Whites are frightened of blacks. They are afraid of taking the wrong exit from the freeway and ending up in a black ghetto. They are afraid when they pass young black males in a dark neighborhood. White women clutch their purses and cross the street, try not to get into elevators with them. The fear, seldom mentioned, determines where whites live, where they go, and where they send their children to school”

“Government also is afraid of blacks. Los Angeles burned because blacks didn’t like the outcome of a trial. Recently cities in England went up because a policeman shot a black. The Zimmerman shooting looks very similar, and blacks are very angry. Jesse Jackson has said that Trayvon was ‘hunted down like a rabid dog in the street,’ that he was ‘murdered and martyred,’ that it was a ’hate crime.’“

The name of the article is “The Need to Lynch Zimmerman”.  The title points to the outrageous injustice willfully brought about by media hype.  When Zimmerman was arrested the preparations for the lynching began.  Neither the abominable media nor emotion driven Black mobs have a right to influence the courts.

No Communist Party Candidate has ever been elected President of the United States but in spite of the massive resistance to Marxism citizens of the United States live under a government that has appropriated the principles of the system they claim to hate and most of them do not even know it. Read the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto and how they now function in our society here.

Why would the media do that?  Why would they try to usurp the role of the courts and convict a person without trial?  Why would they fan the flames of racial hatred?

It could be another attack on the right of citizens to bear arms.  The Ten Planks of Marxism are already in place but the collectivist tyranny that allows the pogroms to proceed is still missing, deterred by an armed citizenry.

Chaos is another.  Order from chaos can come by nefarious means.  When ethnic pride is the glue that holds a nation together its citizens value their culture and seek to preserve it.  The new world order clashes with national pride.  The acute pain of chaos can overcome national pride and create a willingness to sacrifice sovereignty for peace.

Working to create chaos is a Satanic occupation.   Multi-culturalism divides the house (A house divided against itself cannot stand.) and makes captivity easier.  Decades ago when I was young and living in Chicago foot tapping Dixieland music rocked the Black bars on the South Side.  We drove down, drank beer, and heard music the likes of which no longer exists.  During that period I was treated by a Black dermatologist at his offices in South Chicago.  Whites were not welcomed with open arms but they were tolerated.  Then Communist Russian Talmudist immigrants got involved with Black leadership (Read here and here) and  soon they created the same angry Black mobs that now demand justice for Trayon Martin.  As a result Whites have been murdered in South Chicago.

The Talmudist cabal that owns and controls the media in American and mostly around the world works in concert with the forces that seek world government.

Reed believes an American race war is inevitable and the media’s handling of the Trayon Martin case appears to be a veiled effort to ignite that war.

Alan Dershowitz, that partisan Harvard legal beagle, says the persecution of Zimmerman is “immoral and stupid”.   I seldom, if ever, agree with Alan Dershowitz but this time we are in partial agreement. However, as callus and immoral (he supports torture) as he is, he is not stupid.  He is blaming the Florida prosecutor not his Talmudic friends in the Media.  I live in Florida and I heard the local TV news outlets describe the initial release of Zimmerman and the fact that there was a witness to his being beaten, that he had blood on his face and the back of his head, and grass stains on the back of his shirt.  All of this was soon ignored by the same media outlets that had announced it and Zimmerman was accused of “gunning down” Martin.  The arrest and trail of George Zimmerman is a rank injustice for which the media is totally responsible.

The American media is corrupted and functions as a lackey to the forces that are bent on world domination.  Uniform distortions and omissions of fact are common, disruptive, and Satanic.

Zionist Bad Press Is All You Need

It looks like the Zionists and their AZZ (anti-Zionist Zionists) allies are losing the battle. The more desperate they are to stop ‘The Wandering Who’ and myself, the more they manage to do the complete opposite. The book is now a best seller and its message has gone viral.

So far every attempt to smear the book and myself has backfired. It started in mid-September with veteran Israeli concentration camp-guard Geoffrey Goldberg insisting that professor John Mearsheimer should admit that he was endorsing a ‘Hitler apologist’ and an ‘anti-Semitic’ book.  But Mearsheimer refused to bow. On the contrary, not only did he reinforce his praise for the book(1), in a masterpiece of superb writing, he also exposed Goldberg’s clumsy and deceitful hasbara tactics.

On the very same day that Goldberg launched his attack in the USA, here in the UK the notorious Zionist mouthpiece the Jewish Chronicle (JC) together with pro-war, Neocon, and thoroughly Islamophobic Harry’s Place (HP)  joined forces with Britain’s once-progressive Guardian. The Guardian has already grovelled before the Zionists and labelled me as an ‘anti Semite’. Why? Because I dared to discuss the ‘Jewish Lobby’ and criticise ‘Jewish Marxism’.  It’s clear that, for the Guardian, Jewish politics whether it be Israeli lobbying or tribal Marxism is quite simply  beyond examination, discussion and criticism. But still, it was a rather foolish move by the Guardian because within less than 48 hours the ‘Guardian’s new dangerous cult’ had been exposed by one of the most admired reporters on Israel-Palestine – Jonathan Cook. Cook’s article spread like wildfire and, within hours, it had appeared on every dissident outlet around the world.

The Guardian has lost a lot of support recently. Its betrayal of Wikileaks and Assange was a clear sign that something was deeply rotten with the UK‘s once ‘progressive’ paper. I guess that The Guardian’s outrageous attack on myself (as well as on Counterpunch Magazine and Alison Weir) was just one more nail in its coffin. But fortunately for us all, The JC ‘s /Guardian’s  assault, translated into immediate and massive book sales that took even my publisher and myself by surprise. Mind you, it had already begun to dawn on us that bad Zionist press was worth its weight in gold.

I suppose it was around this time that the tribal cheerleaders began to realise that they might have a bit of a problem. All their attempts to stop the book had failed but this did not lead them to draw the necessary conclusion. Instead of making any attempt to critically and intellectually engage with the text, they decided to bring out the big guns. Two leading Zionist ‘celebrities’ were schlepped out to do battle - the infamous Abe Foxman and Alan Dershowitz. These two caricatures were quick to take off the gloves. However, they too failed to realise that, this time around, they were taking on someone who has earned a reputation for not pulling his punches.

Notoriously deficient intellectually (as well as being a plagiarist), Dershowitz fell into the same trap as Goldberg, The Guardian and The JC. Instead of trying to dismantle the book and its message by means of deconstruction, he decided to try to bully two of America’s most distinguished intellectuals  -  Richard Falk and John Mearsheimer, both of whom were amongst the first to endorse ‘The Wandering Who’.

But soon it became clear that the tide has changed.  No one took any notice of the Zionist bully. Mearsheimer didn’t even bother to respond to Dershowitz’ drivel and Falk dismissed the Zionist ‘celebrity’ smear as defamatory polemic. If Dershowitz had one drop of dignity in him, which I doubt, he would have done the decent thing and just faded away. But as it happens neither Dersohwitz nor his allies have an ounce of self-respect in their systems. Interestingly, this lack of self-respect and dignity, which stops any form of critical self-reflection, is symptomatic of the whole Jewish identity political discourse. It is precisely this failure to learn from past mistakes that makes Jewish politics so dangerous – particularly for Jews.

If Dershowitz and his ilk were half as clever as they think they are, they would have paused awhile to reflect on their failures.  But instead, they just go on with their endlessly futile power games – only to find out that their influence is steadily withering away.

Driven by biblical, vengeful enthusiasm, my detractors thought that they could instead bring my international jazz career to an end. But destroying my music career was never going to be easy. To start with, I’m good at what I do and I have a strong fan base which, totally familiar with my thoughts, supports both me and my convictions. So it’s obvious that Jewish lobbies mounting pressure on music festivals is not going to much serve the Jewish cause. If anything, it will prove once again that Jewish identity politics is not only dangerous to our foreign policy, it is also dangerous to our cultural life.

In spite of the fact that not a single performance of mine has ever been cancelled due to pressure, my detractors still will not give up. Ahead of my concert in Goettingen Jazz Festival last Saturday, the local Jewish community, together with the Anti Deutsche, an Israeli hasbara mouthpiece, tried to pressure the Festival organisers.  But the Festival didn’t surrender- its Art Director insisted that no one would interfere with his artistic decisions – not even the Goettingen Jewish community. The Festival looked into all the cherry-picked, out-of-context and sometimes forged quotes provided to them by the Jewish community, and concluded that ‘Gilad was not an anti Semite’.  But the Jewish community still didn’t give up and within a day or two, the news had spread out of Goettingen, generating some very bad publicity for the Jewish community all over Germany. This clear, Israeli-inspired and crude attempt to intervene with German cultural life has, in fact, bought me many more fans in Germany. The concert sold out and many more people in Germany are now aware of the fact that one ex-Israeli jazzman openly equates Israeli ethno-centric, racist, expansionist ideology with Nazi politics. Should I thank the Goettingen Jewish community for their intensive PR campaign? Yes, I should and yes do. Yet again, it became clear that Jewish bad press is all I needed.

In the last few days the Zionist Lobby here is putting pressure on‘Raise Your Banners’, a legendary UK Folk festival. They want Gilad Atzmon to be dropped from the program. Just like Goettingen’s Jewish community, the Zionists here insist on interfering with British cultural life and unfortunately, not in a good way.

I wonder how cultured people in Britain will react once they learn that an Neo-Con, and Award Winning Islamophobic Harry’s Place is poking it’s ‘collective’ nose into their folk culture by campaigning against one of Britain most popular  Jazz artist and a humanist who is endorsed by some of the greatest intellects of our time. Let me tell you, this will not make our ‘Zionist friends’ very popular.

But I suppose that some Jews in Germany in general and Goettingen in particular were also not too happy with these developments imposed on them by their Zionist brothers and sisters. Five days before the Goettingen concert, I learned that some representatives of the local Liberal Jewish community asked to meet me ahead of my concert in an attempt to reach a peaceful and harmonious solution to this saga.  The liberal Jews basically wanted to express their disgust at the actions taken by their fellow Jews against the Festival and myself. Always believing n dialogue, I welcomed the approach. By the time I was in a packed hall and on stage in front of the most supportive audience ever, it was clear that some elements within Goettingen Jewish community had made the grave mistake of acting against me and against their local community.

Jewish Diaspora organisations futile dedication to my destruction is both revealing and symptomatic. Like the Jewish State itself, they  cannot see the consequences of their actions.

The Israelis, the Dershowitzes, the JC, J-BIG, IJAN and HP, all are blind to their growing estrangement from the rest of humanity. As they bully and smear, they end up shouting in the echo chamber of their own cyber shtettles. It doesn’t look good, but, this is the harsh reality of that same Zionist collective psychosis which I scrutinize in The Wandering Who.

So, it looks like my detractors are doing very well indeed in exposing every possible negative aspect of Jewish Identity Politics. At each and every step, they demonstrate aggression, hysteria and  Pre-Traumatic Stress symptoms and yet, there is one thing they will never manage to do. They will never stop me. Because Zionist Bad Press Is All I Need.

How do I know this? Well by now and for a decade, I have won every battle and, to be honest and I even learned to enjoy it.

Socialism, Communism and Cultural Marxism: Spiritual Diseases of Our Time

“In 1919, Georg Lukacs became Deputy Commissar for Culture in the short-lived Bolshevik Bela Kun regime in Hungary. He immediately set plans in motion to de-Christianize Hungary. Reasoning that if Christian sexual ethics could be undermined among children, then both the hated (traditional) family and the Church would be dealt a crippling blow, Lukacs launched a radical sex education program in the schools. Sex lectures were organized and literature handed out which graphically instructed youth in free love (promiscuity) and sexual intercourse while simultaneously encouraging them to deride and reject Christian moral ethics, monogamy, and parental and church authority. All of this was accompanied by a reign of cultural terror perpetrated against parents, priests, and dissenters.”    “Hungary’s youth, having been fed a steady diet of values-neutral (atheism) and radical sex education while simultaneously encouraged to rebel against all authority, easily turned into delinquents ranging from bullies and petty thieves to sex predators, murderers, and sociopaths.”  (Cultural Marxism, L. Kimball)

Today the words Marxist, communist, and fascist have devolved into essentially meaningless, emotionalized epitaphs brandished by people whose understanding of their true meaning is so lacking as to be on a par with “I hate you!” and “you miserable scum bag!”

So just what are Fascist Socialism, Marxist Communism and its contemporary version, Cultural Marxism?

At the deepest, most important level of all, these ideologies are really about the human condition after the Fall and the causes of evil and suffering as defined by fallen mankind.

From the moment that Adam and Eve were ushered out of paradise, men began complaining:

“Why must we die? Why must there be decay? Why must we work? Why does he have (fill in the blanks) but I do not? That’s unfair! Why can’t we say, do and have whatever we desire? If it feels good (libidinous impulses) then why shouldn’t we do it? Why must there be authority, rules, norms, absolutes, and consequences? Why does it have to be this way? Why can’t it be the way we want it to be?” 

And finally: Who or what is the cause of our suffering?

From Nimrod to Karl Marx and contemporary rebels and apostates, the answer is the transcendent Authority of God the Father Almighty together with the fallen condition of man and the world:

“Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God.”    He “changed the government into tyranny” in order to turn them away from God and make them dependent upon his own power.   He also would be revenged upon God “if he should have a mind to drown the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to be able to reach!”  And he would ”avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers.”    (Jewish historian Josephus cited in” Who was Nimrod?”  Dr. David Livingston)

Karl Marx dreamt of ruining the world created by God the Father and proclaiming himself ‘god.’  In his poem “Human Pride,” he writes that after ruining the world:

“I will wander godlike and victorious /Through the ruins of the world/ And, giving my words an active force/ I will feel equal to the Creator.”  ((Marx and Satan, Richard Wurmbrand, pp. 30-31)

Marx’s comrade in arms, Mikhail Bakunin, aligned himself with the Devil and declared:

“The Evil One is the satanic revolt against divine authority….Socialists recognize each other by the words, “In the name of the one to whom a great wrong has been done….Satan (is) the eternal rebel, the first freethinker and the emancipator of worlds.” (Mikhail Bakunin, ibid, p. 27)

After confessing to his ‘cosmic authority’ problem, New York University professor Thomas Nagel admits:

“I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers.  It isn’t just that I don’t believe in God (but) that I hope there is no God!  I don’t want there to be a God; I don’t want the universe to be like that.”  (The Rage Against God, Peter Hitchens, p. 150)

It is when the terrible-willed and their followers–most generally pleasure-seeking hedonists– become possessive of the things of this world and resentful of the “way things are” that they rebel against God the Father and raise up new Towers of Babel—separate paradises— here on earth.   With Nimrod it was Babylon.   Marx’s Tower was the materialist Communist worker’s paradise while Hitler’s Babel was his socialist Third Reich.    Today’s occult New Age heralds the coming of  the final Tower—a planetary communist paradise, but it will be blatantly Luciferic rather than materialist.

In the preface to “The Silmarillion,” the all-important creation account that sets the stage for the subsequent Lord of the Rings trilogy, J.R.R. Tolkien observes of the terrible-willed:

“…. (they) will rebel against the laws of the Creator—especially against mortality.” Possessiveness toward the things of this world alone or together with hatred of death and decay “will lead to the desire for Power, for making the will more quickly effective–and so to the Machine (magic).” (p. xiii)

Tolkien defines magic as the abuse of God-given talents and powers fueled by the:

“corrupted motive of dominating: bull-dozing the real world, or coercing other wills” by way of ideologies designed for the unmaking of the world as it is.

In other words, when pride, wrath, lust and envy inflate to monstrous proportions it is then that the terrible-willed declare the death of God, usurp His powers, declare themselves gods and  invent reality-denying ideologies such as rationalism, materialism, liberalism, secularism, determinism, green environmentalism, socialism, and evolutionism to seduce and coerce other wills:

“Darwinism came at the desired time; Darwin’s theory that man is the descendant of a lower animal destroyed the entire foundation of Christian dogma. ”  (Anton Pannekoek, Marxism And Darwinism, Translated by Nathan Weiser. Transcribed for the Internet by Jon Muller, Chicago, Charles H. Kerr & Company Co-operative Copyright, 1912 by Charles H. Kerr & Company)

And of course straight-forward questions are absolutely forbidden lest they expose the corpus of lies, hate, hypocrisy, deceit and delusion underlying and fueling the ‘Machine.’

On the subject of the Machine, Herbert Schlossberg perceptively observed:

“Exalting mankind to the status of deity…dates from the farthest reaches of antiquity, but its development into an ideology embracing the masses is a characteristic of modernity.” (Herbert Schlossberg, cited in The Seduction of Christianity, Dave Hunt and T.A. McMahon)

Ex-Communist atheist Alexander Solzhenitsyn described the terrible-willed god-men as the masters of the world who, bearing no evil within themselves, have declared that all the evils of the world are caused not by man’s fallen human condition but by deterministic external or natural causes— unjust, unfair systems.

In his book, “Cry Havoc: The Great American Bring-Down and How it Happened,” Ralph de Toledano identifies the unfair, unjust systems:

“the morality that derives from the Old and New Testaments, the traditional family, the respect for the past as a guide to the future, the restraint of man’s baser instincts, and a socio-political organization which guaranteed freedom without license. Of these obstacles, the two greatest were God and the family.” (p. 26)

Former atheist Peter Hitchens notes that throughout the West the Left’s hostility to Christian theism is specific because orthodox Christianity:

“….is the religion of their own homes and homeland, the form in which they have encountered—and generally disliked and resented—the power of God in their own lives…..the Left sympathizes with Islam because (it is) the enemy of their (own enemy, the Christian culture).”   (Hitchens, p. 131)

Hostility to God and Christianity is not confined to just the Left but shared equally with GOP atheist insiders.    Because of their hostility to God and Christianity they hold in utter contempt the middle-class, mainly Christian constituents they must rely upon to be re-elected.

Solzhenitsyn summarized the whole meaning of Fascism, Marxist Communism and Cultural Marxism when he described their three main causes as rebellion against God the Father quickly followed by apostasy and denial of man’s fallen condition, allowing the rebels and apostates to comfortably “forget” that evil cuts right through the hearts of all men, themselves included.

Peter Hitchens writes that atheists and antitheists who have the good fortune to live in a society governed by religious belief:

“….may feel free from absolute moral bonds, while those around them are not.  This is a tremendous liberation for anyone who is even slightly selfish.  And what clever person is not imaginatively and cunningly selfish?”   (Peter Hitchens, p. 148)

Modern ideologies and the murderous utopian systems spawned by them are spiritual diseases of fallen  men.  The only cure is spiritual regeneration through submission to God the Father Almighty.

Libya And The World We Live In

“Why are you attacking us? Why are you killing our children? Why are you destroying our infrastructure?“ – Television address by Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi, April 30, 2011

A few hours later NATO hit a target in Tripoli, killing Gaddafi’s 29-year-old son Saif al-Arab, three of Gaddafi’s grandchildren, all under twelve years of age, and several friends and neighbors.

In his TV address, Gaddafi had appealed to the NATO nations for a cease-fire and negotiations after six weeks of bombings and cruise missile attacks against his country.

Well, let’s see if we can derive some understanding of the complex Libyan turmoil.

The Holy Triumvirate — The United States, NATO and the European Union — recognizes no higher power and believes, literally, that it can do whatever it wants in the world, to whomever it wants, for as long as it wants, and call it whatever it wants, like “humanitarian”.

If The Holy Triumvirate decides that it doesn’t want to overthrow the government in Syria or in Egypt or Tunisia or Bahrain or Saudi Arabia or Yemen or Jordan, no matter how cruel, oppressive, or religiously intolerant those governments are with their people, no matter how much they impoverish and torture their people, no matter how many protesters they shoot dead in their Freedom Square, the Triumvirate will simply not overthrow them.

If the Triumvirate decides that it wants to overthrow the government of Libya, though that government is secular and has used its oil wealth for the benefit of the people of Libya and Africa perhaps more than any government in all of Africa and the Middle East, but keeps insisting over the years on challenging the Triumvirate’s imperial ambitions in Africa and raising its demands on the Triumvirate’s oil companies, then the Triumvirate will simply overthrow the government of Libya.

If the Triumvirate wants to punish Gaddafi and his sons it will arrange with the Triumvirate’s friends at the International Criminal Court to issue arrest warrants for them.

If the Triumvirate doesn’t want to punish the leaders of Syria, Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Jordan it will simply not ask the ICC to issue arrest warrants for them. Ever since the Court first formed in 1998, the United States has refused to ratify it and has done its best to denigrate it and throw barriers in its way because Washington is concerned that American officials might one day be indicted for their many war crimes and crimes against humanity. Bill Richardson, as US ambassador to the UN, said to the world in 1998 that the United States should be exempt from the court’s prosecution because it has “special global responsibilities”. But this doesn’t stop the United States from using the Court when it suits the purposes of American foreign policy.

If the Triumvirate wants to support a rebel military force to overthrow the government of Libya then it does not matter how fanatically religious, al-Qaeda-related, ¹executing-beheading-torturing, monarchist, or factionally split various groups of that rebel force are at times, the Triumvirate will support it, as it did certain forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, and hope that after victory the Libyan force will not turn out as jihadist as it did in Afghanistan, or as fratricidal as in Iraq. One potential source of conflict within the rebels, and within the country if ruled by them, is that a constitutional declaration made by the rebel council states that, while guaranteeing democracy and the rights of non-Muslims, “Islam is the religion of the state and the principle source of legislation in Islamic Jurisprudence.”

Adding to the list of the rebels’ charming qualities we have the Amnesty International report that the rebels have been conducting mass arrests of black people across the nation, terming all of them “foreign mercenaries” but with growing evidence that a large number were simply migrant workers. Reported Reuters (August 29): “On Saturday, reporters saw the putrefying bodies of 22 men of African origin on a Tripoli beach. Volunteers who had come to bury them said they were mercenaries whom rebels had shot dead.” To complete this portrait of the West’s newest darlings we have this report from The Independent of London (August 27): “The killings were pitiless. They had taken place at a makeshift hospital, in a tent marked clearly with the symbols of the Islamic crescent. Some of the dead were on stretchers, attached to intravenous drips. Some were on the back of an ambulance that had been shot at. A few were on the ground, seemingly attempting to crawl to safety when the bullets came.”

If the Triumvirate’s propaganda is clever enough and deceptive enough and paints a graphic picture of Gaddafi-initiated high tragedy in Libya, many American and European progressives will insist that though they never, ever support imperialism they’re making an exception this time because …

• The Libyan people are being saved from a “massacre”, both actual and potential. This massacre, however, seems to have been grossly exaggerated by the Triumvirate, al Jazeera TV, and that station’s owner, the government of Qatar; and nothing approaching reputable evidence of a massacre has been offered, neither a mass grave or anything else; the massacre stories appear to be on a par with the Viagra-rape stories spread by al Jazeera (the Fox News of the Libyan uprising). Qatar, it should be noted, has played an active military role in the civil war on the side of NATO. It should be further noted that the main massacre in Libya has been six months of daily Triumvirate bombing, killing an unknown number of people and ruining much of the infrastructure. Michigan U. Prof. Juan Cole, the quintessential true-believer in the good intentions of American foreign policy who nevertheless manages to have a regular voice in progressive media, recently wrote that “Qaddafi was not a man to compromise … his military machine would mow down the revolutionaries if it were allowed to.” Is that clear, class? We all know of course that Sarkozy, Obama, and Cameron made compromises without end in their devastation of Libya; they didn’t, for example, use any nuclear weapons.
• The United Nations gave its approval for military intervention; i.e., the leading members of the Triumvirate gave their approval, after Russia and China cowardly abstained instead of exercising their veto power; (perhaps hoping to receive the same courtesy from the US, UK and France when Russia or China is the aggressor nation).
• The people of Libya are being “liberated”, whatever in the world that means, now or in the future. Gaddafi is a “dictator” they insist. That may indeed be the proper term to use for the man, but it must still be asked: Is he a relatively benevolent dictator or is he the other kind so favored by Washington? It must also be asked: Since the United States has habitually supported dictators for the entire past century, why not this one?

The Triumvirate, and its fawning media, would have the world believe that what’s happened in Libya is just another example of the Arab Spring, a popular uprising by non-violent protestors against a dictator for the proverbial freedom and democracy, spreading spontaneously from Tunisia and Egypt, which sandwich Libya. But there are several reasons to question this analysis in favor of seeing the Libyan rebels’ uprising as a planned and violent attempt to take power in behalf of their own political movement, however heterogeneous that movement might appear to be in its early stage. For example:

1. They soon began flying the flag of the monarchy that Gaddafi had overthrown
2. They were an armed and violent rebellion almost from the beginning; within a few days, we could read of “citizens armed with weapons seized from army bases”³ and of “the policemen who had participated in the clash were caught and hanged by protesters”⁴
3. Their revolt took place not in the capital but in the heart of the country’s oil region; they then began oil production and declared that foreign countries would be rewarded oil-wise in relation to how much each country aided their cause
4. They soon set up a Central Bank, a rather bizarre thing for a protest movement
5. International support came quickly, even beforehand, from Qatar and al Jazeera to the CIA and French intelligence

The notion that a leader does not have the right to put down an armed rebellion against the state is too absurd to discuss.

Not very long ago, Iraq and Libya were the two most modern and secular states in the Mideast/North Africa world with perhaps the highest standards of living in the region. Then the United States of America came along and saw fit to make a basket case of each one. The desire to get rid of Gaddafi had been building for years; the Libyan leader had never been a reliable pawn; then the Arab Spring provided the excellent opportunity and cover. As to Why? Take your pick of the following:

• Gaddafi’s plans to conduct Libya’s trading in Africa in raw materials and oil in a new currency — the gold African dinar, a change that could have delivered a serious blow to the US’s dominant position in the world economy. (In 2000, Saddam Hussein announced Iraqi oil would be traded in euros, not dollars; sanctions and an invasion followed.) For further discussion see here.
• A host-country site for Africom, the US Africa Command, one of six regional commands the Pentagon has divided the world into. Many African countries approached to be the host have declined, at times in relatively strong terms. Africom at present is headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany. According to a State Department official: “We’ve got a big image problem down there. … Public opinion is really against getting into bed with the US. They just don’t trust the US.”⁵
• An American military base to replace the one closed down by Gaddafi after he took power in 1969. There’s only one such base in Africa, in Djibouti. Watch for one in Libya sometime after the dust has settled. It’ll perhaps be situated close to the American oil wells. Or perhaps the people of Libya will be given a choice — an American base or a NATO base.
• Another example of NATO desperate to find a raison d’être for its existence since the end of the Cold War and the Warsaw Pact.
• Gaddafi’s role in creating the African Union. The corporate bosses never like it when their wage slaves set up a union. The Libyan leader has also supported a United States of Africa for he knows that an Africa of 54 independent states will continue to be picked off one by one and abused and exploited by the members of the Triumvirate. Gaddafi has moreover demanded greater power for smaller countries in the United Nations.
• The claim by Gaddafi’s son, Saif el Islam, that Libya had helped to fund Nicolas Sarkozy’s election campaign⁶ could have humiliated the French president and explain his obsessiveness and haste in wanting to be seen as playing the major role in implementing the “no fly zone” and other measures against Gaddafi. A contributing factor may have been the fact that France has been weakened in its former colonies and neo-colonies in Africa and the Middle East, due in part to Gaddafi’s influence.
• Gaddafi has been an outstanding supporter of the Palestinian cause and critic of Israeli policies; and on occasion has taken other African and Arab countries, as well as the West, to task for their not matching his policies or rhetoric; one more reason for his lack of popularity amongst world leaders of all stripes.
• In January, 2009, Gaddafi made known that he was considering nationalizing the foreign oil companies in Libya. He also has another bargaining chip: the prospect of utilizing Russian, Chinese and Indian oil companies. During the current period of hostilities, he invited these countries to make up for lost production. But such scenarios will now not take place. The Triumvirate will instead seek to privatize the National Oil Corporation, transferring Libya’s oil wealth into foreign hands.
• The American Empire is troubled by any threat to its hegemony. In the present historical period the empire is concerned mainly with Russia and China. China has extensive energy investments and construction investments in Libya and elsewhere in Africa. The average American neither knows nor cares about this. The average American imperialist cares greatly, if for no other reason than in this time of rising demands for cuts to the military budget it’s vital that powerful “enemies” be named and maintained.
• For yet more reasons, see the article “Why Regime Change in Libya?” by Ismael Hossein-zadeh, and the US diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks — Wikileaks reference 07TRIPOLI967 11-15-07 (includes a complaint about Libyan “resource nationalism”)

A word from the man the world’s mightiest military powers have been trying to kill

“Recollections of My Life”, written by Col. Muammar Gaddafi, April 8, 2011, excerpts:

Now, I am under attack by the biggest force in military history, my little African son, Obama wants to kill me, to take away the freedom of our country, to take away our free housing, our free medicine, our free education, our free food, and replace it with American style thievery, called “capitalism,” but all of us in the Third World know what that means, it means corporations run the countries, run the world, and the people suffer, so, there is no alternative for me, I must make my stand, and if Allah wishes, I shall die by following his path, the path that has made our country rich with farmland, with food and health, and even allowed us to help our African and Arab brothers and sisters to work here with us … I do not wish to die, but if it comes to that, to save this land, my people, all the thousands who are all my children, then so be it. … In the West, some have called me “mad”, “crazy”. They know the truth but continue to lie, they know that our land is independent and free, not in the colonial grip.

The state of our beloved capitalist system, early 21st century

I pay attention to the fat content of my food, so I was pleased to find a can of Pam canola oil cooking spray that had 0 grams fat per serving. Great, can’t do better than zero fat, can you? I used it often for a few months … until one day I took a closer look at the “Nutrition Facts” … Yes, it said 0 grams fat per serving. A serving. How big was that? Let’s see … “Serving Size about 1/4 second spray” … Hmmm, how does one press down on a button for 1/4 second? Is it humanly possible? Even the manufacturer had to say “about”. I had been taken. My hat is off to you Capitalist Robber Barons — You’re good!

The Dow Jones industrial average of blue-chip stocks fell 635 points on Monday August 8.

On Tuesday it rose by 430 points.

Wednesday, the market, in its infinite wisdom, decided to fall again; this time by 520 points.

And on Thursday … yes, it rose once again, by 423 points.

The Dow changed directions for eight consecutive trading sessions.

Upon such marvels of mankind countless people build careers, others wager their life savings, philanthropic foundations and universities risk much of their endowments, and conservative sages deliver sermons to the world on the wisdom and sacredness of the free market.

Do the economic fundamentals really change dramatically overnight? Or is our economic system as psycho as our foreign policy? The Washington Post’s senior economic columnist, Steven Pearlstein, wrote on August 14th of the four days described above: “I suppose there are some schnooks who actually believe that those wild swings in stock prices last week represented sober and serious concerns by thoughtful, sophisticated investors about the Treasury debt downgrade or European sovereign debt or a slowdown in global growth. But surely such perceptions don’t radically change each afternoon between 2 and 4:30, when the market averages last week were gyrating out of control.”

Last month “Pope Benedict XVI denounced the profit-at-all-cost mentality that he says is behind Europe’s economic crisis” as he arrived in hard-hit Spain. “The economy doesn’t function with market self-regulation but needs an ethical reason to work for mankind,” he declared. “Man must be at the center of the economy, and the economy cannot be measured only by maximization of profit but rather according to the common good.”⁸

“I am a Marxist,” said the Dalai Lama last year. Marxism has “moral ethics, whereas capitalism is only how to make profits.”

“I don’t believe in anything,” said Barack Obama. “At least not really strongly.” (No, I made that one up.)

Perhaps the worst outcome of the United States “winning the Cold War” is that countless progressive people think there’s no alternative to the capitalist system. Seventy years of anti-communist education and media stamped in people’s minds a lasting association between socialism and what the Soviet Union called communism. Socialism meant a dictatorship, it meant Stalinist repression, a suffocating “command economy”, no freedom of enterprise, no freedom to change jobs, few avenues for personal expression, and other similar truths and untruths. This is a set of beliefs clung to even amongst many Americans opposed to US foreign policy. No matter how bad the economy is, Americans think, the only alternative available is something called “communism”, and they know how awful that is.

Meanwhile, the Communist Party USA has endorsed Barack Obama for re-election.

“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living in society, they create for themselves, in the course of time, a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.”
– Frederic Bastiat, (1801-1850) French economist, statesman, and author

Analysis of Breivik’s Ideas – Part 2

Breivik hated Reds even more than Muslims. The Pakis should be deported, but the Commies ­ shot as traitors, he wrote in his 2083. He fumed against communism like Hitler in Mein Kampf, but Hitler had better reasons. Hitler competed against the Communists for the hearts of German workers, AND Hitler competed against the softies within the national-socialist movement in Germany, who (notably the brothers Strasser) were prepared to deal with communists.

A long time has passed since then. Communism won in the titanic struggle of 1945, but suffered a huge setback in 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Consequently, anticommunism has lost its meaning since at least 1991, but probably even earlier. Today, it could possibly mobilise a few old-timers in Washington DC, but maybe not even them.

It is with great astonishment we witnesses of Communism’s defeat read in 2083 that Communism was victorious:

“The US but especially W. Europe lost the Cold War due to the fact that we didn’t persecute the Marxists after WW2. If we had executed each and every Marxist and banned Marxist doctrines (not only the economical aspects but the cultural as well ­ internationalism, extreme feminism, extreme egalitarianism, anti-elitism, anti-nationalism) we would not be in the current situation. Instead, our traitorous and weak minded post-WW2 leaders allowed the Marxists to gradually infiltrate many aspects of society after WW2, especially our universities and the media (see the beginning of book 1 for a complete overview of how this happened). The first ML pioneers (Marxist-Leninists) were allowed to indoctrinate the ’68 generation, those who run things today.”

Breivik arrives at the unexpected conclusion that both the EU and the US are, in our present age, “socialist” or even “communist” states, “EUSSR and USSR” organised in accordance with Marx’s teachings. I did not know that Karl Marx envisaged a society with hundreds of billionaires and millions of paupers. One would have to be mad to describe the contemporary US and EU as “communist dictatorships” ­ these societies are extremely inegalitarian — workers are on the bottom, while the super-wealthy have an ostentatious lifestyle unheard of even in Medici’s Florence.

The reason for this unexpected conclusion is that Breivik intentionally confuses Marxism-Leninism as the ruling ideology of the Soviet Union and Maoist China, with the neo-Marxist western ideology of Fromm and Adorno, Marcuse and Lukacs. With all due respect, the Cold War was NOT a war with them, but a war against the USSR and its allies, a war with its geopolitical as well as ideological components. Western neo-Marxists were rather the allies of the Capitalist West in that war, and their contribution to the fall of the Eastern citadel of Communism was enormous, as they successfully undermined the Russian elites’ belief in their own ideology.

Though Breivik quarrels with the Western Marxists, he finds it convenient to connect them with the Gulag and with alleged mass murders in the USSR. This is dishonest: the Western neo-Marxists were against Stalin, and they called their Eastern brethren “Stalinists”, at least since the short-sighted Khrushchev’s denunciation of Stalin in 1956.

Khrushchev, a crypto-Trotskyite, frogmarched the Communists through an unnecessary and unpopular de-Stalinisation instead of letting bygones be bygones. Nowadays President Medvedev is talking again about de-Stalinisation; probably this talk will prevent his re-election. The people of Russia have differing views about Stalin, but the vast majority were and are against de-Stalinisation, for to them it symbolises the breakdown of the national masculine heroic paradigm.

Breivik accuses the Communists of supporting “extreme feminism”. This is odd. Joseph Stalin was the ultimate symbol of masculinity: the great Yugoslav director Dushan Makkaveev depicted him in his Mysteries of the Organism in priapic form. De-Stalinisation can be viewed as an attempt to unman the Father-figure of the Communist world. Again, Breivik’s ridiculous claim can be explained by his desire to gather all the Reds into one big heap: from grim NKVD commissars to California sociologists to the Norwegian teenagers he shot. He learned this nasty trick from his Neocon teachers: they paint every nationalist by the same brush as Adolf Hitler.

We reject it out of hand: not every traditionalist and nationalist is a Breivik or a Hitler; the Communists take differing positions on tradition, with Eastern Stalinists being quite conservative, traditional and mildly nationalist, while Western neo-Marxists rejected the bourgeois nationalism which caused two world wars.

Breivik stresses the Communist origins of the Frankfurt school’s founders, of Theodor Adorno and Georg Lukács ­ but the neocons, too, were red-diaper babies or even active Trots before switching sides. Gramsci indeed dreamed of cultural hegemony as the means of arriving at socialism. He thought that a new “Communist man” might be created before any political revolution. However, Gramsci was mistaken. This theory of Gramsci was used to preach a reformist, non-revolutionary way, avoiding a violent takeover of banks and factories. The idea was played up by the Euro-Communists and, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, disappeared with the Euro-Communist parties.

Lenin was right, and Gramsci was wrong: you have to take away from the capitalists both their chequebooks and their factories, their weapons and their newspapers, their parliament and their government, otherwise they will turn every agenda of yours to their benefit. The Frankfurt school and other Western neo-Marxists stood by the West in the Cold War.

The Western neo-Marxists behaved like the proverbial man who searched for a lost coin under the lamppost. Though he knew he had lost the coin elsewhere, there was more light under the lamppost. They did not know how to interact with workers, and so preferred to work with minorities, students, feminists. It was easier, but led nowhere, as we now see. The workers of Spain and Greece rose up last month, but the neo-Marxists were nowhere to be found. They did not lead this real popular revolt, as they were only used to their toy revolutions in the field of semantics.

The neo-Marxists gave up on revolution, gave up on socialism, gave up on the workers, and instead preferred to work “so no future Holocaust would be possible”. Kevin McDonald, from California State University, wrote that they choose to follow their Jewish agenda rather than the Communist one. Breivik had not read McDonald the Terrible, or at least never referred to him, being such a good pupil of Jewish pundits. KMD’s explanation was forbidden to him. He just intoned that what these men did IS communism. Actually, many texts in 2083 are old anti-Jewish screeds with find/replace Jews by Marxists.

Regretfully Breivik was wrong: the communists did not win. We did not move even one step closer to communism by promoting gay marriages and multiculturalism. Fighting against Christianity and family does not help, either. All these steps were appropriated and used by Capital and against workers. Actually, the objectives of socialist revolution and “no more Holocausts at any cost” are mutually exclusive. For the first objective, we need brave and daring men, for the second, all men must be unmanned, for real men are unpredictable.

The proof that Breivik speaks nonsense (even in his own terms) can be found in his 2083, where he rates European states according to their acceptance of what he calls “cultural Marxism”. Not surprisingly, Russia and other countries of the Communist block are the freest from this dogma, while Germany, Sweden and Norway are the most subservient. Indeed, destructive western neo-Marxist theories were never popular in the East, where capitalism was dismantled in the real sense and there was no need for a make-believe pseudo-communist ideology to paper over a capitalist economy.

As for the West, 1968 was not, as Breivik says, V-day for Marxism, but the beginning of a turn towards the Iron Heel. Our freedoms peaked just after the long-gone year of 1968. 1968 was a turning point in America. In 1968, the richest Americans contributed 90% of their income to the state, while now they pay less than 30% (never mind that they do not pay even that much by cleverly exploiting tax shelters, exempt funds and other tricks). It was in 1968 that the American worker’s minimum pay peaked in real terms. Looking back, 1968 was the moment in history when mankind was nearest to the stars.

As children of the defeated ’68 revolution, we were free to love, smoke, think and act. We could travel and fly without being stripped at the airport, and our booze was not confiscated. We could make love and smoke in cafés. Since then, it has been downhill all the way: smoking has been banned, free thought has been incarcerated by Political Correctness, and political action has been reduced to joining a Facebook group.

In the US, as Noam Chomsky has told me, the U-turn coincided with the teachers’ strike in New York which reminded the Jews that their narrow interests are not necessarily best served by progressive and revolutionary tactics. Accordingly, the revolutionary ideologists of ’68 acquiesced in pacifying the masses, and the chances for a new holocaust or even loss of influence were indeed minimised.

The masculinity of the Left receded, too. Support of dubious gender politics and retreat from the class struggle changed the Left. While the Left had always pushed for equality between the sexes, this equality leaned rather towards the masculine pole: whether it was a worker building the barricade, sailors storming the Winter Palace, cigar-smoking barbudos of Castro, they were all manly symbols of the Left. During the epic confrontation of the first half of 20th century, the Red Guards were not more feminine than the Stormtroopers, and Ernst Thaelmann was not less masculine than Ernst Roehm.

The present misbalance of male/female factors in the developed world was caused by technological developments (man’s physical strength is less needed), by ideological shift and by capitalists’ desire to maximise profit by employing women. As a result, men are frustrated. Their old traditional role of providers is over; their jobs went away to China, fighting is done by drones. Breivik’s massacre bears the mark of a frustrated and marginalized Norwegian man.

Breivik felt his manhood threatened by “television, where nearly every major offering has a female ‘power figure’ and the plots and characters emphasize the inferiority of the male and superiority of the female by government-mandated employment preferences and practices that benefit women and use ‘sexual harassment’ charges to keep men in line, [by] colleges where women’s gender studies proliferate and ‘affirmative action’ is applied in admissions and employment.”

Yes, the killer is a psychotic man whose vision is hardly adequate, but his point should be considered. Even his hatred towards Muslim immigrants could be traced to the threat to his manhood presented by virile, unencumbered-by-fear-of-harassment-charges Southerners successfully competing for the charms of the Nordic girls. This massacre and its possible follow-ups might well have been averted if this European man did not feel his manhood threatened in so many ways.

The massacre is a sign that the Yin/Yang balance of Europe is severely biased; it should be restored and this urgent task can’t be delayed ­ this is an important lesson of the Friday 22 massacre.

Analysis of Breivik’s Ideas – Part I

Libya: Unending American Hostility

If I could publicly ask our beloved president one question, it would be this: “Mr. President, in your short time in office you’ve waged war against six countries — Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen and Libya. This makes me wonder something. With all due respect: What is wrong with you?”

The American media has done its best to dismiss or ignore Libyan charges that NATO/US missiles have been killing civilians (the people they’re supposedly protecting), at least up until the recent bombing “error” that was too blatant to be covered up. But who in the mainstream media has questioned the NATO/US charges that Libya was targeting and “massacring” Libyan civilians a few months ago, which, we’ve been told, is the reason for the Western powers attacks? Don’t look to Al Jazeera for such questioning. The government of Qatar, which owns the station, has a deep-seated animosity toward Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and was itself a leading purveyor of the Libyan “massacre” stories, as well as playing a military role in the war against Tripoli. Al Jazeera’s reporting on the subject has been so disgraceful I’ve stopped looking at the station.

Alain Juppé, Foreign Minister of France, which has been the leading force behind the attacks on Libya, spoke at the Brookings Institution in Washington on June 7. After his talk he was asked a question from the audience by local activist Ken Meyercord:

“An American observer of events in Libya has commented: ‘The evidence was not persuasive that a large-scale massacre or genocide was either likely or imminent.’ That comment was made by Richard Haass, President of our Council on Foreign Relations. If Mr. Haass is right, and he’s a fairly knowledgeable fellow, then what NATO has done in Libya is attack a country that wasn’t threatening anyone; in other words, aggression. Are you at all concerned that as NATO deals more and more death and destruction on the people of Libya that the International Criminal Court may decide that you and your friends in the Naked Aggression Treaty Organization should be prosecuted rather than Mr. Gaddafi?”

Monsieur Juppé then stated, without attribution, somebody’s estimate that 15,000 Libyan civilians had been killed by pro-Gaddafi forces. To which Mr. Meyercord replied: “So where are the 15,000 bodies?” M. Juppé failed to respond to this, although in the tumult caused bt the first question, it was not certain that he had heard the second one. (For a counter-view of the Libyan “massacre” stories, see this video.)

It should be noted that, as of June 30, NATO had flown 13,184 air missions (sorties) over Libya, 4,963 of which are described as strike sorties. You can find the latest figures on the Allied Command Operations website.

If any foreign power fired missiles at the United States would Barack Obama regard that as an act of war? If the US firing hundreds of missiles at Libya is not an act of war, as Obama insists (to avoid having to declare war as required by US law), then the deaths resulting from the missile attacks are murder. That’s it. It’s either war or murder. To the extent there’s a difference between the two.

It should be further noted that since Gaddafi came to power in 1969 there has virtually never been a sustained period when the United States has been prepared to treat him and the many positive changes he’s instituted in Libya and Africa with any respect. For a history of this hostility, including the continual lies and scare campaigns, see my Libya chapter in Killing Hope.

America and its perpetual quest for love

Why can’t we “get some of the people in these downtrodden countries to like us instead of hating us.”

– President Dwight D.Eisenhower, in a March,1953 National Security Council Meeting ¹

The United States is still wondering, and is no closer to an understanding than Good Ol’ Ike was almost 60 years ago. American leaders still believe what Frances Fitzgerald observed in her study of American history textbooks: “According to these books, the United States had been a kind of Salvation Army to the rest of the world: throughout history, it had done little but dispense benefits to poor, ignorant, and diseased countries. … the United States always acted in a disinterested fashion, always from the highest of motives; it gave, never took.” ²

In 2007 I wrote in this report about the US military in Iraq:

I almost feel sorry for them. They’re “can-do” Americans, accustomed to getting their way, accustomed to thinking of themselves as the best, and they’re frustrated as hell, unable to figure out “why they hate us”, why we can’t win them over, why we can’t at least wipe them out. Don’t they want freedom and democracy? … They’re can-do Americans, using good ol’ American know-how and Madison Avenue savvy, sales campaigns, public relations, advertising, selling the US brand, just like they do it back home; employing psychologists and anthropologists … and nothing helps. And how can it if the product you’re selling is toxic, inherently, from birth, if you’re totally ruining your customers’ lives, with no regard for any kind of law or morality, health or environment. They’re can-do Americans, accustomed to playing by the rules — theirs; and they’re frustrated as hell.

Here now the Google Cavalry rides up on its silver horse. Through its think tank, Google Ideas (or “think/do tank”), the company paid for 80 former Muslim extremists, neo-Nazis, U.S. gang members and other former radicals to gather in Dublin June 26-28 (“Summit Against Violent Extremism”, or SAVE) to explore how technology can play a role in “de-radicalization” efforts around the globe. Now is that not Can-do ambitious?

The “formers,” as they have been dubbed by Google, will be surrounded by 120 thinkers, activists, philanthropists and business leaders. The goal is to dissect the question of what draws some people, particularly young people, to extremist movements and why some of them leave.

The person in charge of this project is Jared Cohen, who spent four years on the State Department’s Policy Planning staff, and is soon to be an adjunct fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), focusing on counter-radicalization, innovation, technology, and statecraft. ³

So … it’s “violent extremism” that’s the big mystery, the target for all these intellectuals to figure out. … Why does violent extremism attract so many young people all over the world? Or, of more importance probably to the State Department and CFR types: Why do violent extremists single out the United States as their target of choice?

Readers of this report do not need to be enlightened as to the latter question. There is simply an abundance of terrible things US foreign policy has done in every corner of the world. As to what attracts young people to violent extremism, consider this: What makes a million young Americans willing to travel to places like Afghanistan and Iraq to risk their life and limbs to kill other young people, who have never done them any harm, and to commit unspeakable atrocities and tortures?

Is this not extreme behavior? Can these young Americans not be called “extremists” or “radicals”? Are they not violent? Do the Google experts understand their behavior? If not, how will they ever understand the foreign Muslim extremists? Are the experts prepared to examine the underlying phenomenon — the deep-seated belief in “American exceptionalism” drilled into every cell and nerve ganglion of American consciousness from pre-kindergarten on? Do the esteemed experts then have to wonder about those who believe in “Muslim exceptionalism”?

This just in! American leaders do have feelings!

Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai’s criticism of US and NATO forces in his country grows more angry and confrontational with each passing week. Recently, US Ambassador Karl Eikenberry was moved to reply to him: “When Americans, who are serving in your country at great cost — in terms of lives and treasure — hear themselves compared with occupiers, told that they are only here to advance their own interest, and likened to the brutal enemies of the Afghan people … they are filled with confusion and grow weary of our effort here. … We begin to lose our inspiration to carry on.”

That certainly may apply to many of the soldiers in the field. But oh, if only American military and political leaders could really be so offended and insulted by what’s said about them and their many wars.

Eikenberry — who has served in Afghanistan a total of five years as a senior US Army general and then as ambassador — warned that if Afghan leaders reach the point where they “believe that we are doing more harm than good,” then Americans may “reach a point that we feel our soldiers and civilians are being asked to sacrifice without a just cause,” and “the American people will ask for our forces to come home.”

Well, if Eikenberry is really interested, a June 8 BBC World News America/Harris Poll found that 52% of Americans believe that the United States should move to get its troops out of Afghanistan “now”, with only 35% believing that the troops should stay; while a Pew Research Center poll of mid-June showed 56% of Americans favor an “immediate” pullout.

“America has never sought to occupy any nation in the world,” the ambassador continued. “We are a good people.” ⁴

How nice. Reminds me of US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, after the 1999 78-day bombing of the helpless people of the former Yugoslavia, a war crime largely instigated by herself, when she declared: “The United States is good. We try to do our best everywhere.” ⁵

Do these grownups really believe what comes out of their mouths? Does Mr. Eikenberry actually think that “America has never sought to occupy any nation in the world”? Sixty-six years after World War II ended, the United States still has major bases in Germany and Japan; 58 years after the end of the Korean War, tens of thousands of American armed forces continue to be stationed in South Korea; for over a century, the United States has occupied Guantanamo Bay in Cuba against the fervent wishes of the Cuban people. And what other term shall we use to describe the American presence in Iraq for more than eight years? And Afghanistan for almost ten?

George W. Bush had no doubt: The Iraqis are “not happy they’re occupied,” he said. “I wouldn’t be happy if I were occupied either.” ⁶

However, the current Republican leader in the House, John Boehner appears to be a true believer. “The United States has never proposed establishing a permanent base in Iraq or anywhere else,” he affirmed a few years ago. ⁷

If 18th century Americans could resent occupation by the British, when many of the Americans were British themselves, then how much easier to understand the resentment of Iraqis and Afghans toward foreign occupiers.

An excerpt from William Blum’s memoir of the 1960s-1970s: West-Bloc Dissident

What our natural enemies didn’t do to us, we naturally did to ourselves, as did many of the other underground newspapers and movement groups in the ’60s: disagreements developed, factions formed, and, eventually, a split that rent the organization hopelessly in two — the left’s traditional circular firing squad.

Putting it in the broadest terms, there were two species of activists in these large dysfunctional families who kept bumping heads, here, there, and everywhere. We can call them the “politicos” and the “yippies” (subspecies: hippies, anarchists).

The politicos placed their faith in organization and in the intellect — a mass movement, “vanguard” political parties, hierarchies and leaders, heavy on meetings, ideology, and tracts, at times doctrinaire sounding, using words and ideas to convince the great middle class, if not the great unwashed. There were theories to justify these tactics, theories based on class analysis, presented with historical annotation to certify their viability; theories that Norman Mailer disparagingly referred to as “the sound-as-brickwork-logic-of-the-next-step in some hard new Left program.”

The yippies looked upon all this with unconcealed impatience, scorn, and unbelief. Said a yippie to a politico back then: your protest is so narrow, your rhetoric so boring, your ideological power plays so old fashioned …

Let’s listen to Jerry Rubin, certainly the yippies’ most articulate spokesperson:

The long-haired beast, smoking pot, evading the draft, and stopping traffic during demonstrations is a hell of a more a threat to the system than the so-called “politicos” with their leaflets of support for the Vietcong and the coming working class revolution. Politics is how you live your life, not whom you vote for or whom you support.

The most important political conflict in the United States for Rubin was not of classes, but “the generational conflict”. “The respectable middle-class debates LBJ while we try to pull down his pants.”

Is [American society] interested in reform, or is it just interested in eliminating nuisance? What’s needed is a new generation of nuisances. A new generation of people who are freaky, crazy, irrational, sexy, angry, irreligious, childish, and mad … people who burn draft cards, people who burn dollar bills, people who burn MA and doctoral degrees, people who say: “To hell with your goals”, people who proudly carry Vietcong flags, people who re-define reality, who re-define the norm, people who see property as theft, people who say “fuck” on television, people who break with the status-role-title-consumer game, people who have nothing material to lose but their bodies … What the socialists like the SWP and the Communist Party, with their conversions of Marxism into a natural science, fail to understand is that language does not radicalize people — what changes people is the emotional involvement of action.

Hardly anyone, of course, fit precisely and solely into either of these classifications, including Jerry Rubin. Much of the yippie “party line” was to be taken metaphorically, unless one’s alienation had reached the level of an alien, while most politicos were independent of any political party.

Ray Mungo, one of the founders of Liberation News Service, later wrote of LNS:

It is impossible for me to describe our “ideology,” for we simply didn’t have one; we never subscribed to a code of conduct or a clearly conceptualized Ideal Society … And it was the introduction of formal ideology into the group which eventually destroyed it, or more properly split it into bitterly warring camps.

When Mungo speaks of “formal ideology”, he’s referring to the “politicos” who joined LNS after its inception. These people, whom he refers to as “the Vulgar Marxists”, as opposed to his own “anarchist” camp …

believed fervently in “the revolution”, and were working toward it — a revolution based on Marx and Lenin and Cuba and SDS and “the struggle”; and people were supported only on the basis of what they were worth to the revolution; and most of the things in life which were purely enjoyable were bourgeois comforts irrelevant to the news service, although not absolutely barred. … Their method of running the news service was the Meeting and the Vote, ours was Magic. We lived on Magic, and still do, and I have to say it beats anything systematic.”

Mungo would have one believe that ideology is a “thing” introduced from the “outside”, like tuberculosis, that is best to avoid. I would argue, however, that “ideology” is nothing less than a system of ideas in one’s head, whether consciously organized or not, that attempts to answer the questions: Why is the world the way it is? Why is society the way it is? Why are people the way they are? And what can be done to change any of this? To say you have no ideology comes dangerously close to saying that you have no opinions on — and perhaps no interest in — such questions. Ray Mungo, I believe, was overreacting to people whom he saw as too systematic and who didn’t appreciate his “Magic”.

Just as I knew instinctively that I wasn’t a Quaker or a pacifist, I knew I wasn’t a yippie, hippie or anarchist, which didn’t mean that I couldn’t enjoy and even take part in some of their antics. Jerry Rubin was mistaken in my case, as in many others — language, spoken and print, had played a major role in my radicalization; equally indispensable had been the sad state of the world, but it was language which had illuminated and brought home to me the sad state of the world and proffered explanations for why it was the way it was.

During the American Revolution, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, which sold hundreds of thousands of copies in the first few months of 1776, used language suffused with both reason and emotion to argue powerfully the case for independence, to strike convincingly at one of the greatest obstacles to separation: American veneration of royalty; and to point out that beyond the politics and legalities of the conflict, the colonies were sources of profit the crown would never voluntarily relinquish. This message clarified the revolution for thousands of confused rebels who had been debating points of law with London. Imagine if Paine had been a yippie instead of a politico — his primary message might have been to pull down the king’s pants.

It was the movement’s politicos who stayed the course, continuing to be activists well past the ’60s, while Rubin’s long-haired beast and Mungo’s Magic people — lacking the convictions of their courage — could more likely be found in the ’70s sitting cross-legged at the feet of the newest-flavor guru, probing interpersonal relations instead of international relations, or seeking fulfillment through vegetarianism, “the land”, or Rolfing. By the ’80s they had evolved into yuppies.

Dalai Lama: “I am a Marxist”

There is no better way to proclaim your lack of spiritual and philosophical depth than by, two decades after the fall of communism, disclosing that you’re Marxist.  Yet this is precisely what Buddhist spiritual leader the Dalai Lama did during a speech before 150 Chinese students at the University of Minnesota this month.  Journalist Tsering Namgyal reports on the story at Religion Dispatches, writing, “‘as far as socio-political beliefs are concerned, I consider myself a Marxist.’  ‘But not a Leninist,’ he [the Lama] clarified.”

Well, that’s a relief.  Those Leninists can really kill ya’.  Marxists will just murder you.

This isn’t the first time the Lama indicated that his soul is as red as the robes he wears.  During a lecture in NYC on May 19, the Tibetan leader credited “capitalism” with bringing new freedoms to China but then said, “Still I am a Marxist”; he then explained that Marxism has “moral ethics, whereas capitalism is only how to make profits.”  That’s some deep thinking right there.

Now, I have the word “capitalism” in quotation marks because it was originated by a communist, and we shouldn’t allow enemies of the good to define the vocabulary of the debate.  I prefer to call the mostly free market in question a “natural economy,” as it is what naturally occurs when people are afforded economic freedom; they will buy, produce, sell and compete.  In contrast, communism (in the real world, not in the stateless utopia of textbook fantasies) requires a large, intrusive, freedom-squelching government to micromanage people’s endeavors and quash the yearnings of man’s spirit.  And because the Natural Economy does allow people the most freedom practical (we still must have courts to enforce contracts, for instance), it is infinitely morally superior to Marxism.

Having said this, the Natural Economy doesn’t have “moral ethics”; it just is.  It is, again, what naturally occurs when man is permitted to spread his wings.  And it will be as moral as the average people who operate within it.

In contrast, Marxism will be as immoral as the worst people who operate within it.  This is because, while the Natural Economy is governed by those hundreds of millions of consumer votes called the market, communism is ruled by the unscrupulous few who can claw their way to the top in an inevitably corrupt political system.

But while Marxism is morally inferior, it cannot be said to have “moral ethics” any more than the Natural Economy does – not in the true sense of the term.  This is because it is atheistic.  And a belief in morality – “morality” properly understood, that is – correlates to a belief in God.

Why?  Because what we call “morality” can originate with only one of two possible sources: Man or something outside of him.  If it’s something outside of and infinitely superior to him (i.e., God) – if “Absolute Truth” exists, in other words – then we can say that morality has an existence unto itself and is, therefore, real.  But what if, as wanting Greek philosopher Protagoras said, “Man is the measure of all things”?  Then morality doesn’t really exist; the word is then just a confusing redundancy, a water-muddying term that we apply to what is nothing but man’s consensus tastes.  After all, we wouldn’t say that chocolate ice cream was “bad” or “wrong” and vanilla “good” or “right” simply because we found out that the greater mass of humanity preferred the latter, would we?  Yet is it any more logical to proclaim murder bad or wrong if the only basis for doing so is that the vast majority of the world prefers that we not kill in a way labeled unjust?  If, as with ice cream, our attitude toward murder is just a matter of man’s collective preference, then it lies in the same realm: taste.  This is, by the way, what people of faith mean when they equate atheism with amorality.  Secularists such as Christopher Hitchens take umbrage at this, but they misunderstand the concepts involved; no one is saying that an atheist cannot act morally – only that atheism cannot, logically, involve “morality.”

As for Marxism’s atheism and anti-religious passions, the Lama explains them away.  Writes Namgyal:

The Tibetan leader answered that the [sic] Marx was not against religion or religious philosophy per se but against religious institutions that were allied, during Marx’s time, with the European ruling class.  He also provided an interesting anecdote about his experience with Mao.  He said that Mao had felt that the Dalai Lama’s mind was very logical, implying that Buddhist education and training help sharpens [sic] the mind.  He said he met with Mao several times, and that once, during a meeting in Beijing, the Chinese leader called him in and announced: “Your mind is scientific!” — an assessment that was followed by the famous line, “religion is poison.”

Well, I guess that with the Lama, flattery will get you everywhere.

I’ve never heard the above interpretation of Marx before, and I very much doubt that he was a man of even private faith and non-institutionalized religion.  Regardless, one of the most important points about Marx is never made: He was most likely what we would today call mentally ill.  Note that he was notorious for not washing, and this is not uncommon for people who manifest crippling depression and other psychological/spiritual problems.  And would it be surprising if Marx had been thus afflicted?  “There is a fine line between genius and insanity,” they say, and Marx was a classic case of a brilliant mind that was twisted enough to conjure up a truly batty theory.

As for the Lama’s mind, it doesn’t seem as if he has to worry much about a slight misstep landing him in insanity’s realm.  A few years ago he was asked if he took exception to a highly sexualized image on a magazine cover, and he dodged the question politician-like, saying (I’m paraphrasing), “This world isn’t real, anyway.”

Really?

Then why is he concerned about what the Chinese are doing in Tibet?  What does it matter if the Chicomms oppress its people and quash its culture?  Hey, if the Lama and some fellow Buddhist monks are hauled off to a Chinese concentration camp, they can just mediate on how it’s all an illusion.

The real illusion is the Lama’s image.  A man of authentic faith seeks Truth and doesn’t deny reality, either the moral variety or the physical (“Am I a man who dreamt he was a worm or a worm dreaming he is a man?!”).  The reality here, though, is that the Dalai Lama is, like Gandhi (about whom I recently wrote), just another overrated Eastern spiritual leader whom elites glom onto because he is quite liberal and not Western.  He should stick to playing golf with Bill Murray on the bag.

The Flimsy State of the Christian Church

I received this email several weeks ago: Please listen here.

It is encouraging to see the Charismatic community waking to reality but I am disturbed that it did not happen years ago and wish their analysis contained an effective depth.  Although he conducted the interview Rick Joyner is not shown on the video.  He is a Charismatic leader who heads up Morning Star Ministries.  Lt. General W. G. (Jerry) Boykin is a retired army officer who is a Christian.  He speaks with convincing sincerity.  These are both well intentioned Christian men and my criticism is not meant to be personal.

Charismatics are usually Dispensational; they disdain God’s Law.  In providing a solution to the problems outlined in this video there is no mention of God’s Word, His Law, or his pattern of government.

Condemning the cruelty of Sharia law they offer the human law of our Constitution as a solution.   General Boykin claims to believe Muslims have the right to worship in America as long as they forsake Islamic legal standards.  Legal standards are what gives Islam teeth and makes Christianity toothless.  Law forms the religious base of society; if the legal structure is a product of human minds the society is humanistic.  If the legal structure is derived from the Law given by God to Moses it is in accord with our Christian God.  Bereft of law, today’s pietistic Christianity is unable to create righteousness.

We do not tend to think of humanism as pietistic but worship of the mind of the creature is as ethereal as worship of the Holy Spirit; both lack a proper anchor.  The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is a “jealous God” but in defiance of His character General Boykin and most American Christians support Constitutional religious plurality. Antinomian Christianity is a false religion and its supporters are seeking to supplant one false religion with another.

Boykin deplores the advancement of Marxism but because his religion is stunted he is unable to offer a religious solution but must instead resort to a political alternative.  He speaks about censorship in the media but by completely ignoring the overwhelming Zionist agenda that pervades it, he makes resistance impossible by missing the crucial “why”.  He claims ministers have a right to condemn homosexuality and same sex marriage but fails to mention that Constitutional government lacks moral absolutes.  He ignores God’s Law which is the foundation for condemnation of homosexuality and same sex marriage.  He does not understand that righteousness, freedom, and justice, (the progenitors of peace) are impossible without the moral absolutes of God’s Law. By contending that Islam is not a religion but a totalitarian way of life he confirms a lack of understanding of the function of immutable religious law.  All law is force but the force of humanistic law is subject to the whims of the human mind; it is terrifyingly dangerous.  Like all antinomian Christians, Rick Joyner and Jerry Boykin seek a humanistic religious environment where they can proscribe God with their own opinions.  They are humanists!

Since the religion of Joiner and Boykin is Dispensational they would contend that the Law God gave to Moses is anachronistic and no longer applies to the Christian era.  This conclusion allows them to insert human law and malign Christianity with humanism.  Nevertheless, all Christian Bibles provide the death penalty for murder, striking a parent, kidnapping, adultery, incest, bestiality, sodomy, rape of a virgin, witchcraft, incorrigible criminality, blasphemy, worship of false gods, breach of court decisions, and failure to restore a pledge or bailment.  The penalties for these infractions are: burning, stoning, hanging, and the sword.  (Scripture references are available on request)

Boykin incites Christians with the hot buttons of Sharia law, cutting off hands and stoning, but fails to acknowledge the Law God gives us in His Word.  These men claim to believe the Bible but in reality they pick and choose what portions they will believe and what portions they will reject.  They override the express intentions of their Creator.

It is God’s Law, Law contained in His Word that Rick Joyner, General Boykin, and most Americans, Christian and non-Christian, find “disgusting”.  It is the Law God gave to Moses, the Law that He used to judge the behavior of His Chosen People; Law given by our God Who never changes; who is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow; it is this precious Law that Christians often find “disgusting”!  The Law of the One True God is the only offensive weapon that will defeat Islam and tyrannical government.  Unlike Sharia law, God’s Law is not to be imposed on society.  It is intended for God’s chosen people and for those who choose to dwell with them.  It is not to be imposed on other nations. God’s Law is to be applied with mercy and He has provided His own Son as redemption for those that fall under its penalty.

Islam is the world’s fastest growing religion because it has a world view, it designates a specific way of life and promises rewards for obedience.  Christianity is waning because it has been gutted and its members have been blinded.

In many mainline denominational churches small groups gather each Sunday to discuss the Scripture.  The process involves filtering the Word of God through the evil brains of His created beings.  Various human opinions are welcome. Good, solid citizens have been attending these churches and participating in these groups for their entire lives.  To some extent they are social gatherings that allow for recognition of each participant who often leaves feeling he or she has satisfied a Christian responsibility.  Sometimes lost souls are brought to Christ and guided into the same pattern as their leaders. Their lives may be drastically changed, they may give to charities and spend time helping the poor but they have no understanding of the Will of the God they profess to worship and their efforts may have local impact but, lacking a vibrant world view, they are unable to compete in the world arena.

There has never been a nation that needed God’s Law as badly as The United States of America.  We have a perennial famine of consensus.  Every citizen is an individual island of ideas and opinions.  When there is consensus it is usually around a false premise.  A majority of our citizens believe in the political process and support political candidates as a solution to our problems.  Most seek to bind politics to the United States Constitution.  Charley Reese famously wrote that 545 (One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices) people are responsible for the conditions in the United States – they are all politicians.  He is correct but the problem is not politics or obedience to the Constitution; the problem is disobedience to God and to His Commandments.

There is widespread fear and hatred of Sharia law and of Muslims.  The irrational emotion behind this fear obliterates reality and makes it impossible to remind Americans that our government is the culprit for allowing them to enter our nation. Truth is Muslims are coming here because they can get free medical care, free groceries, and subsidized housing.  Christians need to understand that Christian Law, the Law Jesus claimed to fulfill, is very similar in both its requirements and its penalties to Shiria law and Shiria law is probably superior to the maze of humanistic laws that create massive, daily injustices in our courts and in the procedures used by our law enforcement personnel.  They need to understand that when they omit or condemn God’s Law they are condemning the Will of God, the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

We were not created to govern ourselves.   When humanists are in control the chaos of human opinion fosters the freedom robbing order of tyranny.   God created us to obey Him.  When we obey His Commandments we enjoy freedom; when we ignore His Commandments we become prisoners of imperialism.

Time Is Ripe For A Paradigm Shift

It is slightly embarrassing for me to admit that sometimes  Zionists are actually well ahead of our favourite  intellectuals in understanding the depth of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. It is not that they are more clever, they are just free to explore the conflict without being subject to the tyranny of ‘political correctness’, also being proud  nationalist Jews- they do not need  the approval of the Jewish left thought police.

I have recently come across a short Haaretz article by Israeli writer A.B. Yehoshua*.

Yehoshua is a proud Zionist, He believes in the right of his people to dwell on Palestinian land.  He is also convinced that the Jewish state is the true meaning of contemporary Jewish life. I guess that Yehoshua loves himself almost as much as I despise everything he stands for and yet, I have to confess, he seems to grasp the depth of the Israeli Palestinian conflict’s parameters  slightly better than most  solidarity activists I can think of.

In his Haaretz article Yehoshua stressed that Zionism was “something original and one of its kind  in human history- A folk arrived  at the homeland of another folk attempting to replace the old identity with a new/old  identity”. Yehoshua  also counters the faulty colonial paradigm and practically repeats my own theses almost  word by word. “There was also no (Zionist) attempt to impose a colonial regime, since the Jews had no (mother) state that could have sent them to perform a colonial conquests like in the case of England or France.”

Yehoshua, is certainly correct here, as much as some amongst us are contend to argue that Zionism is a ‘colonial project’ and Israel is a ‘settler State’, such a position has no ground and cannot be supported factually or historically. The Colonial paradigm is simply a fantasy that is clumsily imposed on our discourse in a desperate attempt to make the Israeli/Palestinian conflict meaningful within a decaying Marxist discourse.

Yehoshua  continues, the Israeli/Palestinian  conflict will not be resolved because it’s a totally unique conflict  in human history. “There is no historical precedence for a nation that decides to return to its ancient homeland and  establish its sovereignty there.” Whether the conflict will be resolved or not is indeed a crucial question. I am not so sure that Yehoshua knows the answer or even can contemplate a reality in which the Jewish State belongs to the past. However, Yehoshua is obviously correct in his reading of the uniqueness of the Zionist history. We are dealing  here with an exceptional and unprecedented national aspiration driving by racist impetus. But Yehoshua takes it further. “Thus,” he says, If we all accept that the modern return of Jews to Zion is a unique event in human history – then the Palestinian people, unlike any other people, had  to face a totally unique phenomenon.” If we accept that Zionism is an abnormal political ideology and practice, then, Palestinian nationalism  (that is defined by  negation to abnormality) must be also a unique to say the least.

I must admit that Yehoshua’s stand is well argued and totally valid. However, it means that all comparative  models  such as the colonial paradigm are doomed to crash. Jewish nationalism doesn’t fit into any available template, it formulates a model of its own.

According to Yehoshua, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is not really about territorial issues. “Territorial issues can be resolved” he says.  “In our conflict, both sides, struggle over national identity of the whole country.” Yehoshua offers here a very interesting insight that cannot be uttered within the boundaries of the Left discourse. For both parties, especially the Palestinians, he says,  “it is unclear what is the size of the people it is up against, is it only the Israelis or is it also the Jewish Diaspora as a whole.” Yehoshua raises here an issue I myself have been stressing for years. It is far from being clear to anyone (including  Israelis and Jews) where Israel ends and the Diaspora starts. It is also far from being clear where the Israeli ends and the Jew starts. I guess that for most contemporary Jews it is even far from being clear anymore where Zionism ends and Judaism starts. In the contemporary Jewish world there are no clear dichotomies. We are dealing with a spineless elastic metamorphic identity that shapes itself to fit every possible circumstances. This may explain how come the Jewish state can dually operate as an oppressor and a victim simultaneously.

The Israelis, according to Yehoshua are also subject to a similar confusion. They also cannot figure out whether it is just the Palestinian people they are up against or is it the whole Arab nation or even the entire Muslim world.  For Yehoshua, the conflict “lacks a clear demographic boundaries. This fact alone creates an initial deep distrust between the two peoples that prevents a possible solution.”

Yeshoua is far from being a brilliant mind, yet, he manages to analyse the conflict correctly just because he is free to think out of the Leftist box. Being a proud Israeli Jew he is free to say what he thinks without the need to appease half a dozen so-called ‘progressive’  Jews.  Yehoshua’s analysis makes a lot of sense to me though we draw the complete opposite conclusions. I believe that ti the Palestinian solidarity discourse  better liberate itself of any form of  dogmatic political thinking. It is about time  and look at the conflict for what it is.  We must engage in a true plural debate and emancipate ourselves of any traces of rigid and anachronistic thinking.

Earth Day: like Galileo, John Tanton is 100 years ahead of his time

On Earth Day 2011, not too many people get it that “human overpopulation” tops the list of America’s greatest predicaments in the 21st century. Not one single talking head in the major media will touch the subject. That includes Tom Brokaw, Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer, David Muir, Charlie Rose, Glenn Beck, Matt Lauer, Bill Moyers, Sean Hannity, Wolf Blitzer, Anne Thompson, Harry Smith, Meredith Vieira, Anne Curry and David Gregory. National Public Radio sprints away from the issue like it’s being chased by the Tasmanian Devil.

Journalists like Thomas Friedman, Eugene Robinson, George Will, E.J. Dionne, Kathleen Parker and Anne Applebaum refuse to write about America’s overpopulation predicament.

In 2010, America reached 312 million. America grows 8,100 people net gain per day and over 3.1 million added annually—on our way to adding 100 million people by 2035 and 138 million by 2050. Those projections will manifest in America as 438 million within 40 years. Further projections show us doubling US population to 600 million by 2075 give or take a few years. (Sources: PEW report, Fogel/Martin “US Population Projections, US Census Bureau)

Nevertheless, American media pundits report on the symptoms of human overpopulation such as oil spills, climate destabilization, species extinction, the Great Pacific Garbage patch, gridlocked traffic, toxic air pollution, chemical spills, gas prices and the like—but they will not mention overpopulation. It remains the last sacred taboo of modern America.

While America’s leaders and media diddle-daddle and dunk their heads into their morning coffee, our planet Earth staggers at the enormity of the human herd poisoning the oceans, toxifying the biosphere, mass murdering tens of thousands of species, laying waste to the ocean fisheries, injecting 80,000 chemicals into the land and clearing millions of acres of land for human habitation.

A little known Michigan country physician, Dr. John Tanton spearheaded the modern day population issue to the front of America’s consciousness. He and his wife Marylou Tanton spearheaded www.TheSocicalContract.com in order to educate Americans as the peril of mass immigration causing overpopulation in America.

Yet he faces the same challenges as Galileo when the pope crushed any idea that might be based on science. The pope’s power remained absolute, but today, the fact that the Earth revolves around the sun is self-evident. Tanton’s charge that mass immigration causing overpopulation is self-evident. But the pope-like media ignores it at all costs. Instead, religious organizations and talking heads rain down attacks on Tanton just like the pope did to Galileo.

“Dr. John Tanton deserves a Nobel Prize for the stupendous work that he has done to try to arrest the environmental ruin that has befallen America from runaway immigration-driven population growth,” said Canadian environmentalist Tim Murray. “He is the Johnny Appleseed of the sustainability movement, planting organizational seeds everywhere to grow a network of vehicles through which people of similar aspirations can work.

“His life should be an inspiration to everyone, including those of us who face similar challenges outside of the United States. To be named by the Southern Poverty Law Centre as a “Puppeteer of hate” is a badge of honor and a bench mark of environmental service equivalent to a knighthood. If you haven’t made the SPLC list of “nativists” and haters, you haven’t yet fulfilled your potential. So let that be your goal. Keep pushing until you are smeared, then you know you have arrived. You have touched a nerve, and have hit them where it hurts. You have spoken the truth. A revolutionary act in a deceitful age!

“The real puppeteers of hate are found on Wall Street. They have tamed and manipulated the environmental movement by funding it, even to the point of gaining representation on the boards of directors of environmental NGOs. Big Green is now Big Business, customizing their agenda to secure their donor base rather than challenging the corporate bottom line, which requires a continual and massive infusion of cheap labor to the detriment of the vanishing middle class and the natural environment.

“The SPLC and their clones have served the vital purpose of dressing up this mercenary project as a quest for tolerance and diversity, while silencing its critics by a McCarthyist campaign of smear and innuendo. In so doing, they have demonstrated a hate for what America once stood for: Intellectual diversity and freedom of expression, a heritage as precious as the land itself, which they would see despoiled by growth in the service of profit.

“Equally culpable are the editors, journalists and broadcasters who accept their credentials as arbiters of “hate” uncritically—- the graduates of the “One Party Classroom” which David Horowitz, Roger Kimball and Alan Bloom have variously described. Ironically then, the corporate agenda has been cloaked by a social justice agenda born by four decades of “cultural Marxism” in the colleges, universities and journalism schools. Mass immigration, then, can be seen as a right wing project that enjoys left wing collusion, with middle class academics, “The Tenured Radicals”, fulfilling the role of Wall Street’s useful idiots. Gone is the “P” in the “IPAT” equation— the foundational formula of the environmental movement– where “P” (the population level) was perceived as an essential variable in environmental degradation.”

While the pundits and leaders maintain their “pope-like” power, the planet continues to fight back against the human onslaught. And, in the end, the planet will win, hands down. It will take its revenge on humanity via the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Famine, war, pestilence and disease will take their toll. As oil runs out, humans will not possess the gasoline to power the tractors to plant and harvest the food that will not be available to feed 10 billion humans on an ecologically devastated planet.

Calling Evil By Its Name

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, James Taranto describes the growing bloodlust of the progressive left:

” America’s liberal left is preoccupied with salacious fantasies of political violence.  These take two forms: dreams of leftist insurrection, and nightmares of reactionary bloodshed.”

Taranto goes on to report that a sympathetic mainstream media suppresses and/or whitewashes the former type of fantasy while treating the latter as if it reflects reality.  (The Politics of Bloodlust, The Wall Street Journal, Jan. 27, 2011)

There are five  things we must understand about the West’s Progressive Liberal “elite” if we are to make sense of their obvious imbecility, depravity and evil fantasies:

First, they are malignant narcissists who worship themselves as gods .  As gods they deny their own proclivity for evil.   The delusional self-conception they hold of themselves is of  faultlessness and/or moral purity as befits gods.   In short, Progressive “elites” are haters of God the Father. They are:

“…lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient…ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God…” 2 Tim. 3:2

Second,  God the Father Almighty is dead in their hearts….as dead as their love of truth… and  as dead as their individual consciences, or nearly so.   When these materialized souls speak of a god, it is a dead god—a god of forces.  And when they profess themselves to be  speakers of truth  they lie, for their words have no fixed meaning.

Third, progressivism is neo-pagan monism.  Monism is held in common by materialism, pantheism, and spiritualism and dates back to pagan antiquity and was or is taught by all non-biblical thought systems from Buddhism to  Epicureanism, Gnosticism and today’s  New Age Cosmic Humanism.

Monism  teaches that all that exists is “one self-creating, self-sufficient substance” which may be impersonal, unknowing divine spirit or Christ-consciousness (pantheism) or spiritless substance (materialism).  Within this framework, all things are merely diverse parts of the one-substance.

Monism’s greatest appeal lies in the fact that it conceptually erases the vast fixed-gulf  between the supernatural God the Father Almighty and the natural dimension and man.   In other words, Monism imaginatively dissolves the supernatural personal Creator into the natural dimension, thereby bringing heaven to earth and allowing man to divinize himself.  Rousas  Rushdoony explains:

“… much… is known of the concept of divine kingship, the king as god, and the god as king, as the divine-human link between heaven and earth. The god-king represented man on a higher (evolved, naturally selected) scale, man ascended, and the worship of such a god….was the assertion of the continuity of heaven and earth. It was the belief that all being was one being (materialist-pantheist monism), and the god therefore was an ascended man on that scale of being. The power manifested in the political order was thus a manifestation or apprehension and seizure of divine power (through the conceptual murder of God). It represented the triumph of a man (i.e., Hegel, Marx, Darwin, Freud, Lenin and Hitler) and of his people (i.e., Bolsheviks, Marxists, National Socialists).” (Rise of the Modern Moloch State—Global Spiritual Communism, emphasis added)

Fourth, Progressive “elites” are envy-bitten hypocrites who project their own wickedness onto others, that is, onto scapegoats who they daily crucify…psychologically abuse.  The abuse takes many forms:

Character assassination, baseless charges of hate, bigotry, fascism, and insanity.   Malignant backbiting, merciless ridicule, and malicious accusations aimed at producing a false sense of guilt that can be manipulated for the empowerment of the envious.

These and other evil tactics have been systematized by the evil as mind-control, brainwashing techniques, and psycho politics and utilized today to manipulate unsuspecting Americans.

Fifth, Progressive “elites” are nihilists.  Their souls are materialized (turned inward), thus they are prisoners of their own cosmically-inflated egos,  out-of-control envy, lusts, perversions, greed, gluttony, and wrath as well as of afflictions of the mind—paranoia, fear of the void, anxiety dreams, evil fantasies, and peculiar ideas.

Believing in nothing higher than “self,” they therefore  know only envy, greed, hatred, vengeance, and violence.  Their consciences are depraved and their reason has degenerated into sophistry. They are revolutionaries of the void.

The Evil as Gods

“Pride is the beginning of all sin…for it was (pride) that overthrew the devil, from whom arose the origin of sin, and who, through…envy, overturned (man)…For the serpent, seeking a way to enter…sought the door of pride, when he declared, “You shall be as gods.”  That is why it is written, “Pride is the beginning of all sin,” and “The beginning of the pride of man is to fall away from God.” (“On Nature and Grace 29:33,” Augustine)

While most Americans pray to God the Father Almighty Who created all men in His spiritual image, Americas’ Progressive god-men:

“…prays to themselves as saviors of the planet and as shapers of mankind in their own image,” observes Angelo M. Codevilla in his insightful essay, “The Ruling Class: How They Corrupted America and What We Can Do About It.” (p. xix)

As gods, the hypocritical Ruling Class naturally think Americans are completely unfit to run their own lives, yet morality and common sense are anathema to them.   Calling our attention to the amorality and hypocrisy of the Ruling Class, Codevilla notes that since any:

“standard of right and wrong (is) beyond the Ruling Class’….self-conception, its greatest concern has been to denigrate the American people’s devotion to God, because the Ruling Class accepts no standard it cannot control.” (ibid, p. xx)

To preserve its’ delusional self-conception as gods, the Ruling Class stealthily replaced God the Father with Darwinism (materialist monism), the Bible with scientism, orthodox priests with pseudo- priests of science such as the babbling sophist Richard Dawkins, and the First Commandment with “Thou shall worship no other God but the Ruling Class.”

The Evil as Sophists

Though  the evil view themselves as faultless,  in reality their conscience is depraved, and a depraved conscience is the most destructive force in political, social, economic, and cultural life.   This is because though the intellect remains intact, reason is warped and peculiarly inverted, thus useless for pursuit of the good, the just and the true.  In short, guided by a depraved conscience, reason is used in pursuit of the preservation of self-image at any cost.   This is sophistry.

In a penetrating analysis of sophistry, J. Budziszewski  observes that the sophists’ view of reality is paradoxical because  it ultimately denies reality.   Sophists are shock troopers of evil says Budziszewski, and according to their satanically-inverted view of reality:

“Man is the measure of all things, but man has no fixed nature.   Man measures all things by his words, but words have no fixed meanings.  Language is not an instrument for finding truth, but for changing it.  Those who can master it, master all.  It is a good creed for rogues, and commends itself to tyrants in every age.”   (What We Can’t Not Know, Budziszewski, p. 167)

Evil Sophistry as Religion

Sophistry  is the religion of the depraved Ruling Class.  Sophistry says autonomous man is a free-thinker, thus  the maker of  his own truth and morality even though sophistry denies the reality of both truth and morality.   It says depraved man can unmake and then remake himself.  Thus man is free to divinize himself as in days of old.  Males can be females and females can now be males, or they can be androgynous, that is, transgender.

Sophistry’s'  favorite Scripture is “judge not.”  The only judgment is the judgment against  moral judgment.  The only sin is the idea that sin exists.    The only truth is the idea that truth does not exist.  Evil is the idea that evil exists.  The greatest evil of all however, is to dissent against the Ruling Class.

Sophists are braggarts who love to boast of their reason, yet reason is actually escape from reason.  By way of unreason, brazenly arrogant sophists  claim that God is dead and evolutionary theory is absolutely true, but sophistry says that words have no fixed meaning.  There is no truth in sophistry. Therefore, God is not dead but  rather evolutionary theory is, for as it must begin with the spontaneous generation of something from nothing, then Darwinism is also nothing.  This means that Godless evolutionary theory  is as meaningless as spontaneous generation and the much-vaunted reason of sophists.

Sophistry is all the rage in contemporary America, even though it prefers longer, more intellectual sounding names to dupe the gullible.  Thus for example, it calls itself postmodernism, epistemological relativism, antifoundationalism, pragmatism, situational ethics, sensitivity training, pluralism, multiculturalism, interfaith, evolutionary humanism, transhumanism, positivism, rationalism, and progressivism.

The Evil , Envy, and Scapegoating

“(Envy) aims, at least in terms of one’s wishes, at destroying others’ good fortune.”  (German philosopher Immanuel Kant, cited in “Truths About Socialism,” Coral Ridge Ministries, p.65)

“(Envy is) the great leveler…it is a destroyer—rather than have anyone happier than itself, it will see us all miserable together.” (Dorothy Sayers, ibid, p. 66)

“(Envy is one of the) ‘cold-blooded’ deadly sins….the cruelest of all.’  ‘When I say that Marxism is based on envy, I mean that the glorious revolution of the proletariat…was really a promise to put a final end to all conditions that make for envy.”  (Joseph Epstein, former editor of The American Scholar, ibid. p. 66)

The envious always scapegoat the object of their envy, and  scapegoating is a predominant characteristic of the evil, says M. Scott Peck in his book, “The People of the Lie.”   This is because the evil need victims to sacrifice to their malignant narcissism, which in turn allows them to ignore the humanity of their victims as well.   In contemporary America, the chief scapegoats are for example, the Tea Party, orthodox Christians and faithful Jews, Sarah Palin, straight white males, the middle class, and the America of the founding generation, which the Progressive “elite” in company with Islamists, view as an empire of evil.

One facet of evil writes Peck:

“…..is the use of power to destroy the spiritual growth of others for the purpose of defending and preserving the integrity of our own sick selves.  In short, it is scapegoating (the evil) sacrifice others  to preserve their self-image of perfection.” (pp. 73, 119)

As evil is a parasite on good, then collectively speaking, the Ruling Class is an evil-parasite living off of and cannibalizing the good who are in Codevillas’ words,  the Country Class.  In the main, the Country Class are, ” Americans (who) pray to the personal Creator who created all men in His spiritual image.”

In order to destroy the vertical spiritual growth of its’ victims, the envious teach children to accept Darwinism  because it conceptually erases the image of God from them while simultaneously reducing them to soulless bodies.  In this way, their spiritual growth…and salvation.. are aborted.

Another means to the same end is through demoralizing and perverting Americas’ youth by way of sex-education, an evil tactic brought into America by the malignant Frankfurt School at the invitation of John Dewey, father of progressive education aka the dumbing-down of Americans.

For adults in the workforce and military there is sensitivity training.  Its’ purpose says Budziszewski  is to desensitize us to abomination. Through sensitivity training we are, “touched by abomination.  But nothing happened.  We were touched again.  Again nothing happened.  By the five-hundredth touch, we stopped flinching (for we had become) the sort of people who endured the abominable touch.”  (What We Can’t Not Know, p. 173)

Murder by Envy

In the long bloody history of scapegoating, the first stage of the assault has always been psychological, or murder of spirit.   With acquisition of total power, as when Marxist Communists seized control of Russia, the last stage is always  physical murder.   Scapegoats are physically crucified in a bid to “put a final end to all conditions that make for envy.”  Marxist Communists physically crucified 60,000,000 men, women, and children.

Ominously,  the evil here in the West have already managed to pass hate crime laws against their scapegoated victims.

The Evil as Liars

” (A) reaction that the evil frequently engender in us is confusion.  Describing an encounter with an evil person, one woman wrote, it was  ‘as if I’d suddenly lost my ability to think’….This reaction is quite appropriate,” observes M. Scott Peck.   “Lies confuse.  The evil are ‘the people of the lie,’ deceiving others as they also build layer upon layer of self-deception….one of the characteristics of  evil is its desire to confuse.” (People of the Lie,  p. 179)

In contemporary America, the evil have a virtual choke-hold on the levers of power and influence within academia, certain corporations, the media, entertainment, arts, music, Hollywood, the Supreme Court, lower courts, seminaries, and Congress, for example.

The Ruling Class are scientists, professors, politicians, jurists,  journalists, screen writers, musicians, and church leaders.   As a result, confusion, apostasy, anger, finger-pointing, demonization of scapegoats, lawlessness, hedonism, apologetics for evil, and a growing bloodlust now describe post-Christian American society.

Evils’ Pretense of Love

Though the evil  intensely desire to appear good,  their goodness is mere pretense.  This too is why they are “the people of the lie,” says M. Scott Peck.  The evil are masters of disguise, and because they are it is:

“….seldom possible to pinpoint the maliciousness of evil. The disguise is usually impenetrable. …Naturally since it is chosen to hide its opposite, the pretense chosen by the evil is most commonly the pretense of love.” (ibid, pp. 74, 104, 106)

The Ruling Class’ pretense of love finds expression in a variety of ways, such as concern for trees, spotted owls, and wolves.   There’s pseudo-compassion for the civil rights of terrorists, imposers of Sharia,  misunderstood cop-killers, pedophiles, pederasts and home-invaders.  There are crocodile tears for mass-murderers, social security for illegal’s, and the right of perverts to pervert our children.    All of this pseudo-love  always comes at the expense of decent, law-abiding Americans and is in fact an exercise of coercive political power fueled by envy and utter contempt.

On behalf of social justice, peace, and brotherhood, the evil hold out the promise that communism and/or socialism is the great shining hope of man, the promised land….a heaven on earth.  Yet in a brief moment of truth, the father of the communist manifesto—the Big Liar Karl Marx– confessed:

“Words I teach all mixed up into a devilish muddle.  Thus, anyone may think just what he chooses to think.”  (Karl Marx in his poem “On Hegel,” cited in “Marx & Satan,” Richard Wurmbrand, p. 21)

Communism is the apotheosis of God-haters translated into enticing economic and political terms.

Evil is Lust for Power

“(Evil is)…the imposition of one’s will upon others by overt or covert coercion….in order to avoid…spiritual growth…Because their willfulness is so extraordinary—and always accompanied by a lust for power—I suspect the evil are more likely than most to politically aggrandize themselves…There is a remarkable power in the manner in which they attempt to control others.” (People of the Lie, p. 78)

When the U.S. Supreme Court declared that,

“At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of life,” it was both imposing its’ depraved will on the American people and expressing the sophist charter, notes Budziszewski. (What We Can’t Not Know, p. 168)

In other words, the U.S. Supreme Court in effect  legalized  the Original Lie.

The Evil Hate the Light

To a greater or lesser degree, all mentally healthy people submit their will to the demands of their own conscience.   They seek what is true, real, and good rather than what they wish was true.  Not so the evil.   The evil absolutely refuse to submit their will to the demands of their own conscience. They choose instead to live in a dark fantasy world where terrible-willed “self” reigns supreme, hence they hate the Light of Truth:

“The evil hate the light—the light of goodness that shows them up, the light of scrutiny  that exposes them, the light of truth that penetrates their deception.” (People of the Lie, p. 179)

The evil absolutely refuse to tolerate the sense of their own sinfulness, says Peck.  Yet it is precisely our sense of personal sin that keeps our sin from getting out of hand:

“It is quite painful at times, but it is a very great blessing because it is our one and only safeguard against our own proclivity for evil.” (ibid, pp. 71-72)

The sins of the Ruling Class know no bounds, thus through psychological abuse, sophistry, and scapegoating, they are victimizing all decent, law-abiding Americans, causing them to be fearful of speaking truth to lies and exercising moral judgment lest they be ridiculed and accused of sin.    As a result, the Light of Truth has been all but overcome by darkness.    In spiritually dark America, psychologically abused Americans tunnel through dank mire like moles, always seeking but never finding,  for they can no longer see the Light of Truth.

An ancient malign will energizes Progressive “god-men,” and through them great suffering and evil has been done to Americans and America. The evil have compassed us about with lies, confusion, and treachery.  They have rewarded our good with evil.  They have sacrificed our well-being to enact their narcissistic fantasies.  In short, the evil have created a sick, twisted society that mirrors their own sick, twisted selves.    And because they cannot stand the sight of their  distorted mirror image (American society) they are giving America away,  bit by bit, to the U.N.

Calling Evil By Its’ Name

“They hate me without a cause….they that would destroy me, are mine enemies falsely, (and being powerful)…. I restored that which I took not.” Psalm 69:4

In other words, the envious projected their own badness, that is their sins, onto the intended victim, the innocent man.  Then they crucified him for possessing what they coveted.    Having found him guilty of their own wickedness, the evil seized his goods and  redistributed them to others…for the “common good” of course.

To come to terms with evil is perhaps one of the most painful and difficult tasks a human being can face, said Peck.  Most fail and remain its’ victims.   But those who succeed in developing the necessary searing spiritual discernment are those who can call evil by its’ name.

This requires that  Americans “wake up” and “discern” that the evil have been projecting their own badness onto them (the scapegoats).  The evil have also elevated sophistry to the level of truth, but there is no truth in it.  All of  this being the case, in contemporary satanically-inverted America the envious have made it a sin to worship God the Father.  It is a sin to be a straight white male and a sin to refuse to be touched by abomination.  It is a sin to defend your own home and to want to keep your own earnings.  It is a sin to defend standards of decency, the life of the unborn, one-man/one-woman marriage, Americas’ borders, and the right to self-defense.

In short, everything good, true, right, straight, life-affirming and decent is now evil while everything depraved, unjust, bent, false, malignant and death-dealing is good.  To defend the former is to be guilty of sin while to defend the latter is to be morally-pure.

No matter how difficult and painful we find the task, we must nevertheless develop the searing vision that will allow us to throw off the onerous burden of false-guilt laid upon us by evil scapegoaters. The evil must be made to bear personal responsibility for their own badness…including the sin of scapegoating.

If we fail in these tasks, then devilishly-hot needles of false-guilt will force us to both continue treating sophistry and evil fantasies as though they reflect political and cultural reality and to masochistically submit ourselves and our children to evils’ unrelenting hate, spite, malice, and abuse.

Though just a “little person” of no consequence in the eyes of  the evil, Samwise Gamgee nevertheless possessed the courage and searing vision required to call evil by its’ name.   Speaking of Gollum, he said:

“There’s not but lies in him, Mr. Frodo.  It’s the ring (power) he wants.” (Lord of the Rings)

If we are to prevail against evil, we must be as Samwise, and not fear to call evil by its’ name.
