The End Of Democracy


The End Of Democracy

by

R.E. Prindle

 

The September/October issue of Foreign Affairs, the mouthpiece of the Council On Foreign Relations arrived in the mail.  The cover told me the whole story of the contents.  The cover displays two slogans: the first is ‘Autocracy Now’ and the second is ‘How A Global Trading System Dies.’

For this piece let us tackle the slogan: ‘Autocracy Now.’  The CFR notes the multiplying of autocrats.  Xi, Putin, Duterte, Ergonon etc.  It pictures five while omitting the head of the EU, an autocrat if there ever was one, and the Presidency of the US.  Note I do not specify Trump.  The autocracy of the United States began with Bush Sr. continuing through Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama and now President Trump.  Democracy is dead and has been since at least 9/11/01.

The majority of the US is opposed to everything that is being foisted on it by a Liberal minority opposed to the majority. A Liberal minority rules the majority regardless what the majority wants or, indeed, votes for.  A compliant judiciary declares all majority votes unconstitutional.  That’s autocracy friends.  The majority is impotent, the minority rules.  Any dissenting head is smashed down.

Currently in Hong Kong, Xi has ordered that any employee of the airport who participated in the revolution is to be fired.  The White administrator has complied.  Nor is this complacency limited toward the Chinese autocrat.  In the US anyone, for decades now, of prominence refusing to tow the Liberal line has been fired on trumped up charges amounting to nothing.  No on can get or keep a job unless he’s a simpering idiot like Anderson Cooper.  It took a few decades to assimilate Faux News but it has been done just recently.

We are, in fact experiencing a sea change not only in Western Civilization but in global civilization.  The apparent democracy established by the French Revolution has passed.  It is no more.  Democracy has died, the passing was signaled by 9/11/01 and HomeLand Security.  Autonomy has reemerged as the governing force.  The Russian Czars were just a few centuries ahead of their time.

The time of crisis is now hitting the US.  President Trump aborted the establishment of the Liberal autocracy by unbelievably defeating its candidate, Hillary Clinton, who defrauded the Democratic popular candidate Bernie Sanders.  She’s CFR, is it clear?

The exact point of the crisis in the US then, is the election of 2020.  If the Left wins in the US, as it most assuredly will, the US will be placed under the iron heel of an incompetent Leftist boob, whoever that Democratic candidate may be.  It therefore behooves President Trump to establish an official autocracy of the Right, suspend the election, or at least count the ballots as the Dems have been doing for decades to get the desired result.  The results of the election can be announced beforehand to relieve the ‘suspense.’

Now, Xi is clearly is taking actions to destroy personal initiative in Chinese territories that are steadily expanding.  Obama was doing the same in the US.  It is to be believed then that all the autocrats save possibly Trump will act to suppress any freedom of thought or expression thus ensuring the collapse of civilization.

The time has come to steel ourselves to act in our own self-interest.  If any fragment of civilization is to survive, let it be us.  Act now or wear the yoke forever.

Strange Days


Strange Days

by

R.E. Prindle

 

You wanna talk about strange days.  These are the strangest.  The Libs are building a fantasy world in their disappointment at losing the election that is unequalled.  It is paranoia rampant.

I just received a subscription solicitation from Nation Magazine, the most Liberal of all Liberal rags.  The thing might be the product of the imagination of Stan Lee or Jack Kirby, two really paranoid writers.  The Nation’s editor has been reading too many comic books.  Captain America, the X-Men and those vigilante squads must be real to him.

I’m posting the entire solicitation for your amusement.  John Nichol’s, the presumed editor, marbles have broken out of their enclosure.  Below the solicitation:

 

Our subscribers have always

Sustained this magazine.

We are speaking truth to power in an age when the president of the United States says that challenging his authority make us an “enemy of the people.”  We know we can win the fight—by framing the terms of debate as no other media outlet will, and by raising the profile of a resistance that refuses to back off.

 

But we cannot do this without new subscribers, like you.

 

Donald Trump has made no secret of his disdain for independent and skeptical media.  He has banished reporters from his press conferences, created media blacklists, and proposed to alter libel laws in order to constrain criticism of political charlatans like himself.

 

This is scary stuff.

 

But what’s even scarier is the tendency of so many media outlets to dance to Trump’s tune:  treating his tweets as major news stories, allowing his lies to go unchallenged, amplifying the voices of the defenders of the indefensible.  Trump’s toxic rhetoric has been normalized by media outlets that too frequently fail to recognize the threat posed by his presidency.

 

This is outrageous.  But since 1865, The Nation has honed its capacity for outrage.

 

We have seen plenty of intimidating times, but we have never been intimidated.  We know that today’s resistance can prevail because we have celebrated so many victories for so many popular struggles.  Our experience gives us the strength to defend freedom of the press and every other First Amendment liberty that Donald Trump threatens.

We stand strong in these times because we know our readers demand journalism that never bends, that never cowers in the face of intimidation.  And we will stand stronger because our journalism is sustained by our readers—not by corporate investors or advertisers.

Let’s do this together.  Subscribe today.  We will pay you back with journalism that overwhelms Donald Trump’s lies with what most terrifies this pathetic president:  the truth.

Solidarity forever,

John Nichols.

 

I can feel his terror and pain, but it doesn’t come from President Trump.  No, it comes from the Great Silencers, terrorist groups like the SPLC and the Anti-Defamation League.  Apparently Mr. Nichols hasn’t noticed those two great pathetic organizations that roam the country with their hit lists in their hands.  Defaming to the left and defaming to the right, half a league, half a league onward they go.

 

But, to the Nation’s endorsers, the usual suspects.  These fairly public figures are apparently leaders in the  underground resistance.  They are the Undefeated.  The list is headed:

Resist.  Organize.

Subscribe.

The Nation.

Barack Obama:  it’s more than a magazine, it’s a crucible of ideas.

Elizabeth Warren:  An indispensable voice in our political dialogue.

Bernie Sanders:  [The Nation] has never played a more important role than it does today.

Dan Rather:  The Nation has provided consistently uncompromising  and important journalism.

Harry Belafonte:  The Nation has brought to the table of human need a menu of truth.

Nancy Pelosi:  The very highest standards of journalistic integrity.

Sarita Gupta:  The Nation has set a standard for journalistic excellence.

Alex Baldwin:  There are few places where one can still read…courageous journalism.  The Nation is one.

 

There you have it.  The Rogues Gallery of the leading resisters.  The Liberal champions of the Fighting Underground.  The take the Knee, with pride.  Let’s give them a big hand.

 
This solicitation was better than one of Stan Lee’s comic books and a barrel of laughs.  It was sent to the wrong person however.

Battle Cry

This post has been mutilated. Written long ago I cannot take the time to restore it.

When did our national discourse become so consumed  with the state of our national discourse?  Rarely has so much public dialogue been dedicated to arguing over what can’t be said, who can’t say it and just how they shouldn’t put it.  It has always been politically profitable to frame your opponents’ rhetoric as irrational, cruel, even dangerous.  But our now-constant public skirmishes over speech have moved to another level entirely:  These days, the closer you can situate your opponents’ words to actual violence, the better.

When James Hodgkinson opened fire at a Republican congressional baseball practice in June—wounding Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana among others—he was killed in the attack and left no manifesto to explain his actions.  But the shooting immediately became, for many, a chilling example of the consequences of someone else’s rhetoric, and commentators raced to track down who that “someone” might be.

A Newsweek headline asked if “anti-Trump” rhetoric inspired the shooter…

Cc:  Johannes Rebhan, Alan Derian, Ian Hawke, Scott Rosen

Gentlemen:  In reply to your comments I had written a reasoned comment that attempted to deal with facts and historical opinion.  However, since reading your comments among others on Michael Sellers’ post of the last couple days of scurrilous ad hominems and defamation I didn’t think you deserved it while it would be futile as you refuse to answer arguments preferring to resort to slander.  Therefore I am going to tell you how you appear to an intelligent reader of your comments.

Scott Rosen is a mere thug with a mouthful of canards and insults.  In addition he is not so bright as he spells the Adolf of Hitler Adolph with a ph.  Scott is no longer welcome on my site.

Next, let’s consider Alan Derian.  His reply was very interesting because he cleverly manages to threaten me with dire consequences if I don’t fall in line without exposing himself to the casual reader as he says it is my choice whether I want to be beaten or whatever thereby exculpating himself.

His comment is very well composed, he obviously knows what he is doing.

OK, RE.  Before anyone else reacts to your last discussion about the science of the abilities of the races, let me address two points.

Here Alan admits that there is a science that addresses the relative abilities of the races.  This is an important point because he admits that there are races and that they have differing abilities. 

As an aside the Liberals on Seller’s thread always speak of scientific disciplines  as if that knowledge is wholly different and separate from other knowledge.  They speak of scientists as though they were a different race, almost alien, rather than merely someone whose specialty is physics or chemistry etc..  In point of fact anyone with the necessary intelligence can take up a scientific specialty although those who excel at them possess superior qualities and are few.

Scientific disciplines are one thing while the use of the scientific method is available to anyone and applicable to any task.  When I was in college we were told to not take the course information too seriously but if we got the method that was the point.  I got the method.  You Ian, although a fine fellow do not have the method although you have an overweening self-confidence in your opinions.

Alan then continues:

 
First, you are correct in saying that in Communist countries opposing speech was censored and how America is supposed to be different [exceptional] and allow free speech.  But that term “free speech” is a misnomer.  America has freer speech, it has a wide range (of) what kind of speech it allows, BUT, all countries, in order to survive, must enforce their core values and reject and suppress those who work to undermine those values.
As we all know, America is a diverse society of many cultures each vying for dominance. Aryan culture did not inhibit the speech of any culture or political point of view.  In other words whatever core values the Aryan society of the nineteenth century possessed and expected all immigrants to accept has now been split into competing cultures with different core values who wish to inhibit speech.  So, Mr. Derian leaves open as to which core values he is referring to.  As he here offers a tactic of the Jewish culture, which has no provision for free speech or conscience, it is obvious to which diversity Mr. Derian belongs and whose core values he wants to protect.

As Judaism is a semi-autonomous culture, as now are the Negro and Moslem cultures, while he seemingly speaks for Americans in general or universally his concern is for Jewish core values.  In the struggle for cultural supremacy the Jews at present are leading the rest.  Mr. Derian is also an Israeli citizen; a dual citizen who carries an Israeli passport or can obtain one but it is an important consideration.  One needn’t ask where his primary loyalty lies.

Now, these White demonstrators characterized as Nazis by Mr. Derian are specifically guarding the core values of the Aryan population of the US.  As Mr. Derian points out they must do this or be submerged.  The problem is that they are competing with Jews, Negroes, Moslems on the same basis.  Quite obviously they are the enemies of Mr. Derian and his Jews and vice versa.  Virtue is not the issue here as all are fighting for the same cause but who they are.  There is no possible way of faulting the Aryans without faulting Negroes, Jews and Moslems.

The Aryans were also shouting, according to reports: The Jews will not replace us.  Given the competition for supremacy between the Jews and others this is a legitimate war cry.  They are also reported as shouting Blood and Soil.  As their core values, which Mr. Derian admits must be defended by any means necessary are based on blood as are Mr. Derian’s Jews as well as the Negroes, not so much the Moslems, and soil which means that as they are Americans they have no other soil to claim.  This is not the case with Mr. Derian and his fellow Jews.  Anywhere they hang their yarmulke is home to them.

Now, Mr. Derian says that ‘free speech’ is a misnomer and that in defense of a culture’s core values anyone who challenges them can be forcibly shut up by any means necessary.  This is strange, as Mr. Derian then invokes the Constitution of the United States which guarantees unrestricted freedom of speech as well as assembly and has been confirmed by the recent decision of the Supreme Court as a core value of the United States.  Mr. Derian is subjecting himself to a forcible rebuke.

He then quotes the words “all men are created equal” from the Constitution out of context and says that this is a core value that must never be attenuated as if a mere phase could be attenuated. He neglects to complete the sentence to: “in regard to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”  There is no reference to preference of certain people.  The rest of the sentence changes the meaning imputed by Mr. Derian as the evidence for all men being created equal makes it an oxymoron.  Quite obviously all men are not created equal as a certain percentage of births are stigmatized with often horrible birth defects.

Further, in the broader sense, Mr. Derian has already admitted that there is a science of racial differences which implies that all men are not only not created equal but those differences persist throughout life.   Thus, Mr. Derian is hoist by his own petard.

For Mr. Derian it is enough to impose his opinion on US law even though no laws support his points.

Thus while other countries have draconian laws to protect ‘their ‘ core’ values, one of which in most European countries is to never, never criticize the Jews or their interpretations of the holocaust and WWII or you will be put in concentration camps called prisons and have at least a portion of your assets confiscated.  It should be clear whose core values take precedence both in the US and Europe and that those values are not endemic to any European country.

The difference in the US, he says, is people might lose their jobs, that is, their means of subsistence, get screamed at by counter-protestors, that is, competing cultures, deprived of their core value of free, not freer, speech and otherwise to be made to feel bad. That is defamation, insults, directed hatred, which, one imagines are acts of tough love to bring the deluded in line.

To cap his climax Mr. Derian makes this dire threat, which one is led to believe is backed by the full force of the Jews and their auxiliaries.

Bottom line: all men are created equal.  Not all men are more or less created the same depending on your race, gender, sexual orientation, or religion.  Men.  Equal.  Period.  You either adopt that or you get crapped on.  Your choice.


So, Mr. Derian ends his diatribe with the threat that you either go along with his and the Jews’ program or they will fuck you over like you have never been fucked over before.  Your choice:  On your knees before your masters, slaves, or what happens to you you have brought on yourself.  Your masters are free of guilt; you have been warned.

So, American democracy has come to that.  The Jews are staged to replace Whites and the Aryan demonstrators were quite right to chant Jews Will Not Replace Us.  That, does however, remain to be seen.  The war is on, not over.
