What's Changed Since 1789?: The French Revolution And Now


What’s Changed Since 1789?

The French Revolution And Now

by

R. E. Prindle

 

Victor Hugo Does The Hand Jive
 The mores of the Left were established in the French Revolution and they haven’t changed in the interim.  The Left with its peculiar social and political program has always been a minority cult no different than any other cult.  The Left realized that they could never sway the majority to their point of view.  The only solution they could imagine to enforce their view was genocide.  It was necessary to exterminate all dissenters.  Thus mass exterminations were carried out in Brittany and elsewhere. 

The great Liberal hero, the author of Les Miserables, Victor Hugo laid down the basic approach to differing opinions in his 1860s novel, 1793.  Seventeen ninety-three was, of course, the year of the Great Terror in which the guillotine made war on all dissenters.

Mr. Guillotine- Maxime Robespierre
In all revolutionary periods then the Left has sought to exterminate dissenters.  This was apparent in the years following the second great revolution from which the Soviet Union emerged.  The USSR favored starvation as a weapon of mass destruction and whole classes of society were exterminated.  We needn’t go into Chairman Mao’s China that saw tens of millions fall before the ideology while millions are still falling today.

Today the Left has assumed the role of righteous opponents of what they call ‘White Supremacy.’  Let us take a moment to understand the term ‘White Supremacy.’  To the ordinary person it means people like the Nazis, the KKK and ‘bigots’ in general who want to actually kill their opponents not unlike the Left.  In other words ‘violent extremists.’  So, we have two terms ‘White Supremacists’ and ‘violent extremists’ that need defining.

Gov. Moonbeam and California have recently afforded us a glimpse into how the Left defines ‘White Supremacism.’  The subject of ‘Sanctuary cities’ has been brought to the fore by our noble President Donald Trump.  The Pres. and the majority of US voters believe that borders are to be respected and that people who cross them without proper documentation are to be ejected.

Gov. Moonbeam has made the entire State of California a sanctuary for, actually, anyone from anywhere in the world who wants to be there and automatically by that desire becomes a citizen. Gov. Moonbeam thus is in rebellion against the US government.  All these immigrants are what us usually described as ‘Coloreds.’  The majority in the USA who oppose unrestricted unlimited immigration are conservative and White.  Thus, in the Liberal White mind the issue becomes Coloreds vs. White Supremacists.  Pres. Trump becomes a White Supremacist upholding White Supremacy.  The Left:  one world, one people; the Pres.  America First.

The Left now, as the Revolutionists through the years, has created a great unbridgeable divide in society.  They make their own laws and dissidents to those laws and mores are to be denied any voice.  If not their persons, their opinions are exterminated.  Thus, continuity from 1789 to the present.  Victor Hugo=Gov. Moonbeam.

So, to the Left White Supremacism means renouncing all civilizational contributions of White people while embracing the various Coloreds mores and manners.

Trump, Clinton And Deep Politics


Trump, Clinton And Deep Politics

by

R.E. Prindle

 
 
Much noise has been created about possible Russian involvement in the recent presidential election.  Conflicting reports have the Russians favoring either now Pres. Trump or, on the other hand, Clinton.  It has been considered especially reprehensible that Pres. Trump was ‘elected’ by the Russians.  And if this defies common sense whatever influence Russia may have had it could not possibly equal the US media hate blitz unremittingly directed at Trump for well over a year leading up to the election.  One wonders how Trump survived it.  Yet this supposed invisible Russian influence overrode the US media hate fest.

However, in a situation nearly totally obscured by the US MSM both Trump and the Clintons were involved with the Jewish/Russian Mafiya.  This is not to say they were willingly but as the Jewish mob was extremely powerful, especially in NYC, coercion was involved.

The Jewish Russian criminals arrived en masse on our shores after the downfall of the Soviet Union in the nineties.  They came in the thousands destroying Brooklyn’s Brighton Beach suburb.  Extortion was a key racket so it is probable that both Trump and the Clintons were forced to pay for protection.

I will deal with Pres. Trump in another article but first I wish to give an indication of the Clintons’ involvement.  This is a quote from Robert I. Friedman’s book Red Mafiya:  How The Russian Mob Has Invaded America.  This Mafiya is always referred to as Russian but in fact they are all Jews from Russia.  P. 267-68.

Grigor Loutchansky, a Latvian born convicted felon and president of the Austrian-based NORDEX, a multinational trading company, had been implicated in everything from major money laundering to smuggling nuclear components.  House speaker Newt Gingrich once said the US government officials believed Loutchansky had shipped Scud missile warheads to Iraq from North Korea.  The ubiquitous Loutchansky was also a former business associate of both Chernomyrden and Semion Mogelevitch, according to CIA and other Western intelligence officials.  Yet somehow this enormously wealthy underworld rogue was invited to a private Democratic National Fund-raising dinner for Clinton in 1993.  During coffee, Clinton turned to the mobster to ask a favor:  would he pass along to the Ukrainian government requesting it to reduce its nuclear stockpile?  Clinton then posed for a photograph with the grinning hood, which Loutchansky later liberally passed out among his cronies, greatly enhancing his stature among corrupt government officials and the criminal underworld.  When the photo of the men shaking hands was eventually published in a Russian newspaper, the CIA analyzed it to see if it was fake.  When they discovered it was genuine, agency officials were aghast.  “Loutchansky had one thing in mind:  legitimization,” a congressional investigator probing Russian organized crime explained.  “He wanted US citizenship and he wanted to buy a US bank.”

 
This criminal Mafiya organization that as Friedman explains had seriously corrupted US society and politics has been almost completely ignored by the MSM.  The Clintons were involved as early as 1993 and judging from contributions to their charity fund it has continued until today.  According to Friedman the US CIA and FBI were well aware of the Jewish mob and yet did little about it.  One imagines that this Mafiya’s influence on US politics was much more effective than any of the Russian government.

Some Thoughts Concerning The Astrological Summer


Some Thoughts Concerning The Astrological Summer

Or:

Global Warming As A Natural Process

by

R.E. Prindle
Since we seem to need something to be hysterical about Algore has fixated us on Global Warming for the last decade or so.  In fact, Algore seems to have started a religious crusade. It is heretical not to accept his version of reality.   Just exactly what can be done about warming isn’t clear; oh, that’s right, electric cars.

Unfortunately, nothing can be done about global warming as it is a totally natural phenomenon that will continue for at least two thousand years.  Our mathematicians should be able to calibrate exactly how many degrees the process will take.

Early astronomy then going by the name of Astrology had the problem worked out.  If they had known what the problem was they could have provided us with the solution.
 
The problem is with the Great Year and it can’t be corrected; it can only be endured.  Looking at the first diagram above you will notice a tipped over globe.  That tip is known as the Plane of the Ecliptic.  It amounts to 23 ½ or 24 degrees and produces a wobble in the orbit of the globe.  Each wobble takes about 25K years to complete.

As with the terrestrial year of months the Great Year was divided into 12 units called Ages.  So the Zodiac is one monstrously huge timepiece.  As the globe wobbles seasons, as above so below, are created.  There are Astrological winters, or ice ages, as we call them, and summers, or Global Warming, as Algore calls them.

If you look at diagram one you will notice that the ice age occurred when the pole star was Vega.  So Vega is the winter marker while Polaris is the Summer marker.

At Vega the Northern Hemisphere was angled as far away from the sun as it can get;  hence North America toward the pole was covered with a humongous ice sheet which over roughly twelve thousand years became thousands of feet thick.  Instead of rising the ocean levels dropped exposing millions of square miles of new land.

Then, as the Astrological year progressed Spring arrived during the Ages of Virgo and Leo and ‘global warming’ began.  The ice cap collapsed sending out huge flood waves that raised ocean levels to nearly what they are today.  All settlements and/or cities located on the ocean’s marge were inundated under hundreds of feet of water.  Oops, there went Atlantis.

Since the Mediterranean was occupied the residents fled the Great Flood for higher ground on all sides of the Mediterranean.  The priestly class, obviously, headed for the Nile Delta probably settling at its apex near Memphis as it was called.  It was there they built their memorial to what was- the three great pyramids setting these astrological clocks at the Age of Leo soon after the disaster occurred.  All the astronomical sights are set for that Age.  We are now five Ages past Leo in the midst of the Astrological summer.  Spring has been passed.

The Age of Aquarius will likely be the equivalent of the terrestrial month of August; hence Aquarius should be an age of continuing warming leading to the Age of Capricorn cooling and hence to a new ice age or winter when Vega once again becomes the pole star.

Thus, as is happening now, for the next two thousand years at least the Northwest Passage will open and remain open; a couple thousand feet of ice or more will melt from Greenland.  If as with the North Amrican ice sheet the ice of Greenland collapses then the water level of the oceans might rise a number of feet within a year.

Electric cars will not change the Astrological reality.  We are talking science here, if you didn’t recognize it.  The Great Year and its consequences are real.  Live, love, laugh and be happy, don’t be hysterical.  If you don’t want to move to higher ground now, I live at a thousand feet above sea level well prepared to withstand the Astrological judgment day, then be prepared to be flooded out, if you live long enough.

Just some thoughts.

China, Hollywood

And The ‘Correct’ Point Of View

by

R.E. Prindle

 


A very interesting story about China and Hollywood appeared in the Wall Street Journal of today (4/19/17).  It confirms the continuing marginalization of the US and the threat to the survival of its Constitution.

It seems that Part 8 of Fast and Furious opened in China to 169 million compared to about 70 million in the US. (Inflated to 99 million in the reporting by including Canadian receipts, so China can now dwarf North America.  (US, Canada, Mexico).  Thus, implications go far beyond mere Box Office considerations.  China has now surpassed the US in screens adding 25 a day, that is, 25 a day! Chinese admissions are half the US so the Fast and Furious receipts could be doubled to 338 million.   China soon will have a bigger annual gross than North America with plenty of room to grow.

Anent political considerations the WSJ story makes two very revealing admissions:

Tensions between China and the White House have accelerated since the presidential election.  Mr. Xi is seeking to strike a contrast with President Donald Trump as a champion of globalism, and he appears eager to advance China’s narrative- both by pressuring Hollywood studios to portray the nation favorably and in the long term, by adopting Western filmmaking techniques for China’s own industry.

So, what kind of favorable portrayal do the Chinese insist upon, which is actually a form of censorship, because they won’t show US movies that might be critical.  For instance in a movie portraying the Trump, Xi, Kim Jong Un situation it would be necessary to show China as the moral and ‘correct’ champion with the US and Korea as squabbling brats.  Hollywood will have to accept an inferior position for the US.

Here Mr. Xi should horrify US Liberals and have them condemn him and China as Neo-Nazis.  Indeed, as Mr. Xi states:
We must make patriotism into the main melody of literature and art creation, guide the people to establish and hold correct views of history, views of the nation, views of the country, and views of culture, and strengthen their fortitude and resolve to be Chinese,” said Mr. Xi at the Beijing Forum on Literature and Art in October 2014.
 
So, there you have it, conditions no Liberal will tolerate in the US but are acceptable to them when imposed by China.  In pleasing the Chinese to retain access to the Chinese market Hollywood does violence to everything the US professes to believe as guaranteed by our Constitution.  In point of fact, as far as movies go Hollywood is now the tail and China is the dog.  The Hollywood tail is not going to be able to wag the Chinese dog.

In fact Hollywood’s relationship to the market now becomes like that of France, Germany or Japan to the US market.  i.e. foreign films.  China within perhaps as little as a year or two may produce more movies than the entire West let alone Hollywood.

The mass market in the US has then disappeared.  With the mass market gone the way is open for other cities than Hollywood to produce movies designed specifically for the US domestic market or US-European markets.  In any event Chinese control of ‘correct history, culture and mores’ must not be allowed to control US filmmaking.

As Mr. Xi’s comment indicates his notion of globalism is simply Chinese domination of the globe.  Foolish Americans if they allow that to happen.

WSJ- Wooing China To Drop Tariffs.


A Review:

WSJ-Wooing China To Drop Tariffs

by

R.E. Prindle

 

Today (4/5/17) we learn in the Journal that China places tariffs of double digits on US goods.  President Trump has been cursed for not being a Free Trader and the quaking shaking Libs wobble around in circles at the mention of the word tariff.  But now, according to Bill Lane, of Caterpillar, who wrote the article, the Pres. Is going to entertain Chinese bigwigs at Mar-a-Lago and ‘woo’ them to drop their tariffs.

So, now we belatedly learn what has been concealed, the Chinese have never been Free Traders, just free loaders exploiting the US and Europe.  The story goes further than Bill and the WSJ do as they don’t delve any deeper.  As Niall Ferguson pointed out in an article the Chinese threw up a firewall against US technology companies so that they wouldn’t dominate China while the Chinese studied the internet and stole whatever information they needed to create their own search engine, Baidu, and mimic and master the social media.  That done you and I can now download Baidu but the Chinese are unable to ‘Google it’.  Rah, rah, rah, Free Trade.

So, now that Bill and the WSJ realize they’ve been walking around with something stiff and yellow up their backsides for years they’re beginning to feel the discomfort.  After decades of that they’re going to attempt to solve the problem bass ackwards.  They’re encouraging the Pres. To ‘woo’, understand the word woo, China into dropping its tariffs rather than doing the muscular thing and impose tariffs on the Chinese and kick their asses in line.

Ah, but the Libs say that will wreck the Global Free Trade system, but, there isn’t a Free Trade system as China has amply demonstrated.  So, what did China achieve by imposing double digit tariffs?  They built up their economy quickly and at the expense of a Global Free Trade system.  We in effect paid them to do business with them.

So, what will happen if the US imposes double digit tariffs on Chinese goods?  China will be forced to develop their own internal economy while the US will quickly rebuild its own economy.   Will that mean goods will no longer be cheap?  Why?  As the Libs never tire of saying, robots are doing the work so there won’t be any jobs.

Well, if the Chinese are turning to robots because robots are the cheapest to run even more cheaply than cheap Chinese labor then goods can be made as cheaply here at the same cost that is as in China.  Imagine the transportation costs that will be saved making our domestic goods even cheaper.

Mr. Bill concludes his argument thusly:  Maybe this is the right time for the two leaders to cut a deal to slash Chinese trade barriers.

Chinese trade barriers?  Why weren’t Chinese trade barriers a major topic during the election?  Why are we only hearing of Chinese trade barriers now?  Maybe Chinese trade barriers didn’t and don’t fit the so-called Free Trade system?  Then we have nothing to lose.

Face it Libs:  We’ve been had since that dolt Nixon opened to China.  It is time for China to play by the same rules the Free Traders are playing by to get a little of our own back.

I just hope the Pres. turns aggressive and stops the defensive cowtowing to those East Coast Libs and pays more attention to the people who elected him.  Figure it out Mr. Pres. they would have loved to have burned you at the stake back then and it would gratify them much to see you in flames now.  Stop trying to placate them and kick them into place.

A Review Of Atlantida by Pierre Benoit


A Contribution To The ERB

Library Project

A Review: Atlantida

By Pierre Benoit

Review by R.E. Prindle
La Maison de la Dernier Cartouche.

Pierre Benoit’s excellent novel Atlantida: The Queen Of Atlantis was first published in 1919.  Written in French it was translated in 1920 so it is possible that Burroughs read it.  There is a possible reference to the book in Tarzan the Invincible, I’ll get to that later.  Benoit himself was accused of ‘plagiarizing’ H. Rider Haggard but he defended himself by saying he neither read nor spoke English while Haggard was not translated into French as of 1919.

It matters little as Benoit, Haggard and Burroughs all knew their Greek mythical heritage and all seem to be addressing the male-female conflict from the same intellectual approach derived from that mythology.  And they all placed their stories in Africa, a burning question of the day.

The heroine of Benoit’s novel, Antinea, is an irresistible woman along the lines of Haggards She and Homer’s Circe, and Burroughs’ La.  All three women rule over lost lands.  Antinea lures Aryan men to her to her palace carved from a mountain of the Ahaggar range.

The Ahaggar range, Ahagger is Taureg, the Arabic is Hoggar, is located almost in the middle of the Sahara at what is now the Southern extremity of Algeria.  Its highest peak is nearly 10,000 feet in elevation, the whole massif of a half million square kilometers being at the same elavation as Denver, a mile high.  Boiling summers and freezing winters and fair moisture.

Antinea having lured the men entrances them and when they no longer amuse her she embalms them alive in a unique metal called Orichalch.  Thus, they are preserved forever as they were in life.  An advance on all other methods.  The question is why does she do this?

The answer is explained by Benoit’s character Mesge:

“Now you know,” he repeated.  “You know, but you do not understand.”

Then, very slowly, he said:

“You are as they have been the prisoners of Antinea.  And vengeance is due Antinea.”

“Vengeance?” said Morhange…For what, I beg to ask?  What have the lieutenant and I done to Atlantis?  How have we incurred her hatred?”

It is an old quarrel, a very old quarrel.”  The Professor replied gravely.  “A quarrel which long antedates you, M. Morhange.”

“Explain yourself, I beg of you, Professor.”

“You are a Man.  She is a Woman…the whole matter lies there.”

“Really, sir, I do not see…we do not see.”

“You are going to understand.  Have you really forgotten to what an extent the beautiful queens of antiquity had just cause to complain of strangers whom fortune brought to their borders?  The poet, Victor Hugo, pictured their detestable acts well enough in his colonial poem called la Fille d’ Otaiti.  Wherever we look we see similar examples of fraud and ingratitude.  These gentlemen made free use of the beauty and the riches of the lady.    Then, one fine morning, they disappeared.  She was indeed lucky if her lover, having observed the position carefully did not return with ships and troops of occupation….Think of the cavalier fashion in which Ulysses treated Calypso, Diomedes Callirrhoe.  What should I say of Theseus and Ariadne?  Jason treated Medea with inconceivable lightness…”

And so on.  Thus on page 114 of 229 Benoit explains the nature of his story.  Bear in mind that of Circe and Ulysses in which Circe enslaves all the men who approach her and turns them into swine by lust while Ulysses with a pocket full of mole to defend himself resists her charms, maintains his manhood, rescues his sailors and sails away.  So, while there are great similarities between Benoit’s, Haggard’s and Burrough’s stories they could easily derive from the same sources;  variations on a theme.  Of course, Burrough’s La is derived from Haggard’s She. But La is closer to Antinea in method than She.  La’s job in Opar is to sacrifice men on the bloody altar.  La is also from Atlantis.  And all three share the glorious tradition of being too beautiful to resist.

Benoit himself the son of a French diplomat grew up in Tunisia and Algeria where he became acquainted with the desert and its legends.  Thus, his story is an authentic addition to the great stories of the African explorers and the fictions of Haggard, Burroughs, Edgar Wallace, Mrs. Hull, P.C. Wren and others.

Ahaggar Plateau
 

Benoit charmingly writes his story as current history rather than fiction without any framing story.  He includes the Emperor Louis Napoleon and others as well as showing himself familiar with the latest Parisian designers and bon ton retail establishments.  He mentions a painting titled La Maison Des Derniers Cartouches which can be found on internet and with which I have headed the review.  Translated it means The House of the Last Bullet.  I’m sure all his Parisian references are real but they have slipped through the crack of time had have not found a place on the internet.

In this case there is a Captain Avis who is believed to have murdered his fellow, Capt. Morhange and hence is in bad odor.  This is the mystery that holds the story together.  We learn later how Morhange died.  Avit is transferred to a desert post, indeed demanded the transfer, managed by Lieutenant Ferrieres who is about to embark on a mission passing the Ahaggar massif. 

At the post Saint Avis tells Ferrieres of his strange adventure in the  Ahaggar Mountains with Capt. Morhange during which Morhange perishes.  The African scenery is different than any of the authors mentioned and the setting is quite spectacular.

Morhange and Avit are caught in a freak storm on the slopes of the Ahaggar, and apparently these are not uncommon on the massif, where they rescued a Taureg from drowning who happens to be the procurer of European men for Antinea.  The two soldiers are procured and delivered to the Atlantian Queen.

Somewhat very similar to scenes from Haggard’s She they are conducted to a great room or hall where fifty some embalmed former lovers stand in niches.  The truth descends on our sexual warriors.

Morhange who, being the more handsome and impressive of the two, finds favor with the Queen of Atlantis also, not unlike Ulysses and Circe, is proof to her blandishments and beauty.  What he had is his pocket isn’t mentioned.  His refusal eventually enrages Antinea.  Without going into details, Antinea hypnotizes Avit into taking her large silver hammer with which she bangs her gong and giving Morhange such a good bash it cracks the man’s skull to pieces.  Thus she solves her problem of being rejected by Morhange.

A digression here.  Benoit here shows off is knowledge.  Amazingly I was able to get it.  In Paris at the time there was a theatre called The Grand Guignol.  It was a place of horrors, a sadists delight, at which all kinds of gruesome murders, mutilations and disfigurations were enacted.  Apparently the scenes were so realistic that the faint hearted actually fainted and a doctor was kept on the premises to deal with these frequent occurrences.  Now, a guignol is something like a puppets booth.  Benoit has Avit climb into a guignol in Antinea’s boudoir where he watches the horror of Morhange being dismissed after which Antinea calls his down, hypnotizes him, hands him the silver hammer, directs him to Morhange’s room and watches as Avit cracks his friend’s skull.  The horror, the horror.  So Benoit demonstrates he is au courant with Paris’ entertainments.

Avit then turns to thoughts of escape.  Here Benoit displays a certain genius in moving his story along.

Antinea had a slave girl named Tanit Zerga who became enamored of Avit and also wishes to escape to return to her people.  She organizes the escape attempt.  As it turns out she is a princess also, of the Trarzan Moors on the North side of the Senegal River.  Bear in mind that everything mentioned in the story is real except the story itself.  The Trarzan Moors exist to this day and of course the Senegal is one of the great rivers of Africa.  The history is within the realm of fact.  Only the story and its leading characters are fiction.  Benoit does not spare the reader his knowledge.  The man has been around.

The pair are assisted by the procurer rescued by Avit in the storm.  He is quite willing to help because he tells Avit he will be back, no one who has ever known Antinea can escape her charms.  All the victims in the hall had died of love.

Here’s a Burroughs connection indicating he may have read the book.  Tanit Zerga resembles Nao, the fourteen year old girl who rescues Wayne Colt in Tarzan the Invincible only to be discarded coldly as were the heroines mentioned.  It would be pushing it too far to claim Burroughs did read the book but he often got his scenes and incidents from other authors so I’m about three fourths convinced.

At any rate Tanit Zerga dies in the desert carrying on Benoit’s theme of women making sacrifices for ungrateful men.

The story then returns to the Foreign Legion camp of Ferrieres as he and Saint Avit are to make a trip across the desert passing the Ahaggar massif.  As prophesied, to know Antinea is to love her forever, and her lovers all died from love, so he intends to return to the Ahaggar’s and his certain death.  Whether Ferrieres will accompany him is left open.

The book was a slow starter but one is gradually swept along almost as a participant as the storm increases.  A very exciting conclusion.  Benoit’s is a very worthy book for Bibliophiles.  If it wasn’t in Burroughs’ library it must have been through neglect or loss.  Highly recommended.

Some Idle Chatter: National Enquirer.


Some Idle Chatter Concerning

The National Enquirer

by

R.E. Prindle

 

Probably everyone is familiar with the National Enquirer from standing in line at the grocery store checkout stands idly looking over the top magazines.  Sure to catch your eye with their sensational headlines was the NE.  Nowadays it’s a fairly respectable magazine compared to their glory days when they came up with most improbable, impossible, sensational stories ever conceived by the mind of man.  Of course, the literally minded especially were repelled.

I enjoyed it.  Who’s kidding who; I grew up in the fifties, that golden age of sci-fi and I immersed myself in it both in print and film.  Not only sci-fi but goof-fi in the ridiculous Mad Magazine.  By the time the NE came along my mind had been trained to live in this universe and a couple parallel ones.  I could handle any alternate reality and keep them all separate.  I was one of the urban spacemen.  Alternate realities were my stock in trade.  And then, the NE came along.  Oh boy.  It was almost heaven.  Tales from some undiscovered crypt.  King Tut’s discovered tomb compared as nothing.

These days, like I said, the NE is almost respectable.  The stuff inside is as true as any other newspaper, maybe truer.  The only good news is that they still have that sensational style of relating prosaic stories.  As time goes by, of course, they need something new and in President Trump they have found it.

I don’t know when they began but for the last several issues the Pres. Has been the feature story on the cover.  The stories are still sensational but disappointingly true.  They all check out and they have better sources for info than the NYT and Washington Post.  Those fake newsers have been seen picking themselves up from the mire after having been run over by the NE.

The current 4/3/17 issue is a humdinger.  It tackles the Russian spy issue used in the attempt to discredit President Trump.  Plus, the info is concise, to the point and seemingly accurate.  One wonders where they got their stuff.  I’ve got an idea; there’s a White House leak and the NE’s Deep Throat is undoubtedly the President himself.  I mean, he is no fool.

Consider that he is a native New Yorker, albeit from the outer boroughs, while, I believe, having been the subject of exposes in the NE over the years.   He’s always been good copy.  The Donald, as he then was, has famously said that when you’re punched, punch back.  What better weapon than your own propaganda paper on the same level as the Times and Post?

The articles are always favorable, even mildly laudatory, to the Pres. So given his NYC upbringing there is no reason that he shouldn’t personally know the owners and/or editors.  There’s a natural reciprocity there:  the NE gets exclusive stories and the Pres. Gets the favorable publicity, or propaganda, he needs.

The anti-Trump papers announce that there are Russian spies in the government as though since the election the Pres. Invited them in.  As there are Russian spies in the government now, then, they were there under Obama, under Bush, under Clinton and under all the presidents since FDR who did invite them in.  While it is difficult to see what harm they have caused since Gorbachev threw in the towel under FDR they did cause major damage.

Of course, during FDR’s time the Liberals thought Russian spies were a good thing.  When they were exposed the howling denials could be heard all the way to the Volga.  The careers of those who exposed the infiltration, Martin Dies, Parnell Thomas, and Joe McCarthy were absolutely destroyed, their names made anathema.  If there had been a way to eliminate the names it would have been done.

Today when Russian spies can do little damage all of a sudden instead of being a blessing they are a curse.  What changed the Russian character?  The present head of Russia and not Soviet Union, is not a Communist.  That’s the difference.  No, he is a conservative.  Trump is a conservative.  Bad, bad.  Putin’s bad; Trump’s bad.  My bad.  Conservatives bad.

Don’t know why.  While our interests differed back in the Stalin days, in these Putin days our interests converge.  It appears from the NE article to be true that Flynn was at least acting as an unregistered foreign agent, which was meaningless back in the old Red Star days, for Putin there is no evidence that the Flynn betrayed US interests.  He was trying to further them.  The fact is Russia is not our enemy.  We are morphing into the same ideological stance.  One that preserves the identity, culture and civilization of Euroamerica, the West.

That is a good thing.  Something to be desired.  Something beautiful created over four thousand years and more.  Something of value not to be lightly discarded.

The amazing thing would be if the NE turned into a daily national paper to rival the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post.  The Post, by the way, is owned by Jeff Bezos of amazon.com.  I’m only intuiting this but it begins more and more to appear that Bezos picked up the Post to further his own political ambitions.  The Presidency is Bezos last frontier after he stocks every American household with their goods.

Sometime after the next two years or so Bezos will probably declare for 2020.  If it should turn out to be Bezos and the Washington Post vs. President Trump and the National Enquirer wouldn’t that be something?  I’m all for it.  Go, Donald Trump; go National Enquirer.

A Discussion Of Crispin Sartwell: How We Got This Way


How We Got This Way

A Discussion Of Crispin Sartwell’s

The Postmodern Intellectual Roots

Of Today’s Campus Mobs.

by

R.E. Prindle

 

The major problem in discussing today’s political affairs is dealing with the authoritarian position of the Liberals as to the indisputable certainty of their views.  They are so certain that they are willing to use physical violence to enforce this view on everyone.  One is reminded of the Communist Soviet Union of the 1920s and 30s.

Crispin Sartwell examines the development of this state of mind in the above referenced essay.  Unfortunately the essay appeared in the Wall Street Journal of 3/25/17 and the Journal’s policy prevents its republication; hence no link.

Sartwell attributes the attitude’s rise to what he calls ‘the second great era of speech repression in academia.’  Apparently his professor, Richard Rorty was instrumental in propagating the attitude.  In 1998 Rorty published his views in book form:  Achieving Our Country:  Leftist Thought In Twentieth Century America.

Sartwell quotes Rorty, ‘objectivity is a matter of intersubjective consensus among human beings, not of accurate representation of something nonhuman.’  A perhaps interesting opinion but that leaves us with the task of explaining what ‘intersubjective consensus’ is and how it is to be obtained.  We’re dealing with a lot of alchemical air here in which subjective thought is transmuted into objective thought by being shared by humans and Rorty means the whole of humanity.  To me it sounds like something along the lines of J.G. Jung’s ‘collective unconscious’ in which the racial subconscious is somehow transmitted from generation to generation, and just as subjective.

What it amounts to is that a number of ‘human beings’ get together and agree to agree that something is so whether it is or is not and having once ‘objectified’ their subjectivity by agreeing with other they are willing to punish anyone who disturbs their pleasant utopian fantasy.  In other words, twenty-first century Communism by another name with new terminology by a collectivity promoting their unsubstantiated viewpoint.

Something like Des Cartes:  I think, therefore I am.  While this formula takes the young by storm and they go around repeating it as though irrefutable truth actually I am therefor I think is more logical.  A thought requires a thinker to think it not the other way around.  I am, therefore I think.

Thus adherents to Rorty’s viewpoint having devised this reformulation of Communism have set about to impose their utopia by force.

Rorty condemns any opposition as heretical:
It is doubtful whether the current critics of the universities who are called ‘conservative intellectuals’ deserve this description, for intellectuals are supposed to be aware of, and speak to issues of social justice.
So, the ‘intersubjective consensus’ controls the narrative while determining the rules of the game.  We may understand ‘social justice’ to be the Party line and any deviants don’t the name of ‘intellectuals’ or thinkers.  To the outer darkness with them.

And then Sartwell says:  ‘By that logic it is defensible to eliminate such people from graduate programs, to deny them tenure, even to shout them down.’

Yea, verily, even to beat them up, prevent their entry to campus and deny them voice.  Eventually to murder them as the Soviet Communists did to dissenters in the nineteen twenties and thirties.

Thus, we have the attitude towards President Trump in which any objective view that looks outward at the object instead of inward at wishes is denied validity.  One doesn’t describe the situation per se but the utopian, that is the Communist political correct diktat.

The real problem with President Trump and the Liberals then is not Donald Trump himself but the fact that he denies the ‘the intersubjective consensus’ viewpoint.  He points derisively at the naked emperor.  This cannot be tolerated by them.  He must be impeached before he opens his mouth.

During the campaign then you saw criminal violence committed against the Trump voter.  Many were beaten fairly seriously while the disruption of Trump’s rallies was so severe that his Chicago rally was cancelled by the Communist mayor for ‘fear that Trump’s rally would cause rioting.’  That shows how violent these people are prepared to be supported by the authorities.  Of course the rioting and burning of cars after the inauguration confirms this.  Other examples…but they are well known.

Let us hope the President can defuse this situation without having to resort to equally repressive measures.  Let us just say that the Liberals are tempting fate.

The Evil Is Upon Us


The Evil Is Upon Us

by

R.E. Prindle

Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.

 

The poor stupid fools of the CFR really think they can negate the will of the people?  They couldn’t manipulate the election in their favor and now the fools think that they can throw aside our elected President and there will be no consequences?

They believe that because Comey lies before the nation that spying was not employed by the CFR, the Democrats and the Left that their lies will be accepted?  Think again!  When hasn’t lying been the stock in trade of lawyers and politicians?  Of course they spied on Trump, and worse.  They did it in plain sight.  And they didn’t think we saw it?  The revolution was televised and succeeded.  They have been cast aside.  They have been found wanting.

Do they imagine they will bring Obama back?  Don’t they realize that we have seen Obama and rejected him, his program and his surrogate?  Do they actually imagine that the ‘Russians’ cast ballots in the election?  The Russians didn’t elect President Trump, fools, we did.  We did it without any help from any Russians.  What sort of ass believes otherwise?

But, if those people are going to be delusional they are delusional.  Understand this:  You and your program were rejected.  Oh yes, your power bases in California and New York had a majority of the popular vote, even the greater number of electoral votes but California and New York aren’t the country and the country rejected you.  It’s hard, I know, but you’re nothing but sore losers.

You have been rejected.  You are not wanted.  You were going to Canada?  Well, go!

But know this:  if you losers succeed in negating our votes you do so at your own peril.   You may be able to cheat President Trump but you can’t cheat the whole country without consequences and the consequences will be terrible.

Flee to Canada or Mama Merkel’s ample bosom while you still can.

Proof Obama Wiretapped Trump

by

R.E. Prindle

 

The National Enquirer continues to mix in serious politics with sensational celebrity gossip.  This issue tackles the problem of domestic spying.  The bugging of President Trump is proving to be a sensitive issue for Obama and the Democrats.  They did it; finding it has criminal implications, they are now in full denial.

While the enquirer advertises that they have proof that Obama wiretapped Trump’s phone that proof is less than unequivocal, that is you can’t squash Liberals with it but the argument of spying on the now President is nevertheless convincing.

The act of Obama’s domestic spying apparently runs counter to the Liberal self-image; they don’t want to believe Liberals would do such things.  In fact, even the term Liberal is becoming malodorous in their nostrils.  The ’true’ Liberal has to distance himself from Liberal violence, hence Liberal groups that violate that self-image are being marginalized from the Left. such as anarchists and the Black Bloc, and severed from the orthodox Left because ‘true’ Liberals don’t do those things.  They just wear ‘pussy’ hats.

Likewise in the past Liberals have valued ‘privacy.’  Spying violates privacy so that Obama’s spying on candidate Trump can’t be true in their eyes and if it should be undeniably proven, Obama will be knocked off his pedestal leaving the Libs without a hero.  Neither Hillary nor Sanders can take Barry’s place and there is no other possible candidate on the Left.  So, the NE article is more significant than it might appear.

For those with good short and medium term memories it will be remembered that Obama stated unequivocally that Trump would never be president.  It wasn’t clear at the time how he would prevent it but that the prevention would be by any means necessary.  The very so-called debates were set up to embarrass, humiliate and destroy Trump.  It would be tiresome to repeat the extreme media bashing of Trump while it you supported Trump it isn’t necessary and if you are an anti-Trump Liberal there is no way to overcome your denial.

Obama had to so nothing extraordinary to bug Trump, the apparatus was already in place and in daily use throughout the country.  Here’s how William Binney, 30 year NSA veteran and whistle blower says the system works.  He explained to the NE:

“When anyone in the US makes a call- with a cell or a land line- it gets merged into the fiber running underground all over the US.  There are taps on the lines- about 100 of them across the country- at the major switching centers of the telephone companies, or the main points that route data from one fiber network into another.
 
The telecom companies maintain it for the NSA, and get paid for it.”  said Binney.  “Some guy goes down to the fiber and installs a prism-like device that duplicates the information flow- and one flow goes to wherever the call is supposed to conclude and the other goes directly to the NSA!
 
They can store a terabyte of information in a device the size of your thumb, and now imagine a facility with 100,000 square feet with nothing but 8-foot high racks of these storage facilities.
 
The Utah one is the biggest.  The one in Fort Meade will be three times the size of that one.”
 

So, with or without legal authorization all of Trump’s communications were recorded and stored.  It is a simple matter for technicians to retrieve this.  When the President of the United States wants the intercepts on anybody, someone who is in the NSA will give them to him.  Indeed, the NYT printed the fact that a transcript of such material was laid on Obama’s desk the day before Trump was sworn in.  Of course, whether you believe that depends on your view of the Times credibility.

If this stuff is so easy to hack by third party technicians it would a cinch for a President to get what he wants.  Has anyone heard of Johnathon Pollard?  Thus, when Obama said that Trump would never be president of the United States he was relying on his ability to track Trump’s campaign, as it were, from the inside’ and be in a position to counter Trump’s moves before he made them.

With all the hatred felt toward Trump by the media and the political establishment, both Democrats and Republicans, I’m sure Obama could get all the cooperation he needed from wherever he sought it.

With that in mind let us compare the objections to Trump with the objections to the ‘greatest American president ever’ Franklin Delano Roosevelt.  As to qualifications, it was said of FDR that he was a nice man who ardently wished to be president but had no other qualifications beyond that so FDR and Trump are equal.  Once elected FDR and his ‘brains trust’ had no plan so they simply lifted that of his predecessor, Herbert Hoover.  Hoover’s plan was well beyond their intelligence to put into effect so when they failed at that the great FDR said we’re just going to try one thing after another and experiment until we find something that works.  That was FDR’s plan.  President Trump at least has an agenda that he is fulfilling.  So, based on a comparison between the ‘great’ FDR and Trump, President Trump is on course to beat out that great Liberal hero.

As I said, the NE did not offer conclusive evidence although in quoting sources like New York Times, anti-Trump venues which have offered conclusive proof, the truth should be difficult to deny.

What is evident to the naked eye as well as the NE’s statement is that the East Coast Establishment is “trying to control the President or even get another one.  The things they want are money, control and power- and Trump is fighting them.”

Obama has set up an alternate government in his attempt to oust Trump since he was unsuccessful in preventing Trump’s assuming the office.  Unable to prevent that he apparently is trying to deny the President the ability to govern in an attempt to have him impeached.   A nasty little twit, isn’t he?

The outcome of this brouhaha must be the vindication of President Trump:  it is impossible that every attempt legal or illegal was not done to prevent Trump’s election.  It is now necessary for Trump to take strong action.  He must protect the Executive’s powers.  That means disregarding the unsupported decisions of low level local judges who have no business interfering in the national government’s affairs.

That means exiling trouble makers like Obama and George Soros for the security of the country.  Both Obama and Soros are responsible for the national unrest.  He must act by any means necessary to put the ship of State on a safe course.
