2016, 2020, debate, election, it's not 2016 anymore..., thanks

I realize that so many of you, today and last night, came for 2016’s Union And The Constitution Forever? article. I’m flattered and I stand by what I wrote then. But … it’s not four years ago. This is an entirely different country. And, sadly, the answer to that old title is a resounding, “no.”

Read that one, but also look at my more recent thoughts.

Thanks, again. The added interest has boosted this month’s visitation dramatically, and it was already looking better than the past six months. Now, it’s the best September in two or three years. We’ll be rocking onwards tomorrow into October. (Some really cool fiction is coming)! See you then. – P

Stand Back … Stand By

"debate" 2020, America, Biden, politics, stand back, stand by, terminal decline, Trump

It was not “The worst presidential debate of all time.”

On Tuesday night the American people, or at least those unlucky millions who were not watching the Yankees-Indians game on ESPN instead, were subjected to an hour and a half of mindless shouting from two hapless sad-looking old men who looked as if they would rather be anywhere else but that auditorium in Ohio. President Trump also spoke.

It’s not a sign of a nation in decline. It’s a sign of a nation totally changed and obliterated. It wasn’t a debate. Those days are gone and will not return under the auspices of America or the United States. If you insist on a “civilized” discussion of ideas, then you’ll have to wait for a (really, really) long time. Or, you need to find another country. Maybe pray the Constitution and give me five Hail Republics?

The reality show last night changed nothing, certainly not my standing predictions. I rather enjoyed the few snippets I read after the fact. “Stand by!” And, one knows who won by the way the whole thing, not just the winner, is lambasted.

That game kinda got out of hand too, eh?

Civil War Studies – The Weekly Column/TPC

Civil War Studies

There was a Far Side cartoon some years ago that you might remember. It was titled The Dam Bursts, and it featured the residents of the migraine headache institute, armed to the teeth, angrily processing next door to the school for marching bands. 

The United States is like that, except it’s not as funny. It also won’t involve just two opposing sides. Hello, there! No, this article is not about the American Civil War of the 1860s. Rather, it’s an early and incomplete analysis of the conflict we’re plunging into today.

The sides. The population by and large consisting of idiots binary thinkers, there’s a temptation to divide things up neatly as they were some sixteen decades ago: two sides: authoritarian mercantilists wickedly allied with usurers against genteel agrarians lazily allied with incompatibles. Or, “North” versus “South,” if you like. In the interests of easy comprehension, we could approximate dual factions, at least as a loose template.

Ultimately, this war, like all others, is a continuation of the eternal struggle between good and evil. That rages on from The Beginning unto The End with us not knowing where we fall along the grand timeline. (Beware of anyone who earnestly predicts such a placement). In a sense, we’re looking at Christians versus satanists. This is an accurate estimation only as to overarching beliefs and ideologies. Our Side, possessed of numerous divisions, still values the good, the true, and the beautiful, all in honor of Jesus Christ. The other side is the dominion of the world, of chaos, ruin, and death.

A more progressive view would be of Nationalists versus globalists. One will note thematic compatibility with the most basic, religious breakdown. Nationalists honor the human societal structure created by Almighty God, destined to exist even in Heaven. The globos seek the destruction, disruption, and despair wrought by a new Tower of Babel, calling evil good, and good evil, and seeking ruination and slavery under the false guise of unity, nicety, and a fabricated definition of almost everything. One should note who stands with or for what. Those who favor the nations also tend to favor the families, the individuals, and tradition. Those who lust for the world tend to attract every manner of abomination and degeneracy. These are not coincidences.

The too-frequent calls for (or against, or merely in observation of) a race war may be misplaced. Given the (non-COVID) events of this year, the view is somewhat understandable. Indeed, it does look like a war has already commenced, but with one side largely abstaining. I can’t say those with this framing are completely incorrect; they just overlook, in a simplistic fashion, a few factors. Again, I hate to tell you old-timers, but it isn’t 1861 anymore. It is no longer a black and white issue – entirely. And, to the extent it is, it is more of a messy component of conflict caused by the most unwise mixing of nationalities or ethnicities. We have also, you may have noticed, most unwisely added some additional parties to the formula and in rather sizable numbers. The formula: (a level of) diversity + proximity = war. There are other problems with the two sizes (sides) fits all approach: for instance, many Africans are Christians; many Europeans serve, directly or otherwise, the devil; some Muslims will ally with Christians; your enemy’s enemy isn’t necessarily your friend; nobody knows how some groups will act or react; etc.

What are the odds? I’d say in the neighborhood of 100%, give or take 0.00. 

How’s it going to look in reality? That’s the beautiful thing – no one knows. Nor can we be certain of when it will start in full, how bad it’s going to get, or how long it will last.

It is my belief that it has already started, in a slow, low-pitch manner soon to heat up. When? Look for a spike this November for obvious reasons. Then, it might go ballistic, or it might quiet to a simmer. 2033 was a good enough estimate. However, once the process starts – and it will be a process, not an event – it will go on for years, or decades, or even longer.

How bad? VERY. VERY. BAD. If it started with Molotov cocktails, it may end with B-52 runs. Or, depending on how one looks at it, it may turn out very well. It had to happen, honestly. Rather, it did not, but this is the US, the home of people who really enjoy difficulty. For a reference, remember that, at the beginning of the 21st Century, the debt-based economy had virtually failed. An intelligent and peaceable people might have opted for a simple reset. That was not, and is not us, sadly. The crisis of 2008-9 was papered over, compounded radically, and visits upon us again with far more pressing force. The economic collapse will exacerbate the domestic conflagration, as will the violent, flailing end of the international empire, which also could have been eased out of with greater harmony. The hard way it is! This all makes perverse sense considering that, during these last twenty years, the average intelligence in the US has declined by about half a standard deviation. 

The loss of IQ coincides with the loss of morality and all else. The reasons why, along with what comes later, and how the mechanics of the martial process may work out are important, but will all wait for another day. It’s going to be fun, kids! Honest.

In related news, Freedom Prepper is running an October civil war and unrest theme! It’s aimed at surviving the immediate fallout of near-term events and is less of an academic discussion. You should have already started studying the big picture; last week, I gave you The History of Florence to review. You did that, right? Good, because this Empire, like Rome’s, has run its course and is about to dissolve. The best-case scenario would be something like the quick, easy, and happy divorce between the Czechs and the Slovaks. This being ‘Murica, we’re more likely to get something like what happened in the Balkans – messy, violent, multi-partied, and thoroughly devastating. Or, it could be a more drawn-out affair, akin to that of Italy described by Machiavelli. It could be something else.

Look for multiple factions, all over the place. And look for multiple places, all over those factions. I briefly pondered a future North America and came up with twenty to thirty plausible states. In reality, it could be two, or ten, or two-hundred and ten. There’s no telling how far the reductions will run. But, it is time to think and plan. It’s time, on the macro level, to pick your side. It’s time, on the micro-scale, to find your local tribe.

The good news is there is still time, just not as much as there was. Use what you have judicially.

The Dogma Lives Loudly

Amy Barrett, Dianne Feinstein, Dogma, evil, shut up, Supreme Court

I was reminded of this sad episode in recent Amerikan history just last night. Amy Coney Barrett doesn’t generate much excitement in me, nor does the US Supreme Court. Dianne Feinstein generates something else. Remember her previous assault on Judge Barrett:

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), ranking member of the committee, told Barrett directly that her Catholic beliefs were concerning, as they might influence her judicial decisions on abortion.

“Why is it that so many of us on this side have this very uncomfortable feeling that dogma and law are two different things, and I think whatever a religion is, it has its own dogma. The law is totally different,” Feinstein said.

“And I think in your case, professor, when you read your speeches, the conclusion one draws is that the dogma lives loudly within you. And that’s of concern.”

This from a fake American member of the group that incorporates its religion into everything they (and we) do. It’s enough to make one wish Dan White had gone for the Twinkie three-peat that night. What will she hiss out this round?

Long live Our Dogma!

Ads, blog, money

Yes, I’ve seen them in posts and along the right PC sidebar. This is not me, it’s WordPress – a testament to traffic returning to previous levels in spite of my ban on anti-social media madness. It’s really quite the compliment. Of course, as soon as you kindly increase donation and/or purchase amounts to the sufficient point, I will convert the site to a higher, more expensive platform level. Based on long-past fundraising efforts here … enjoy your ads.

*At some point, hopefully, the site will convert over to a fiction-based author sales site with an included multi-subject blog. The promise of the future…

**Thank you for the increased visitation. Quality will improve tomorrow.

***Any political ads or ads not in keeping with my house themes are automatically disclaimed.

Freedom Prepper, news, videos

Like the birds flying south for the winter, the news videos are back at FP! Here’s one, now:

This is where a talented young lady takes my weekday news briefings and feeds them into a robot takes translates written word into Farceberg speech. I’m good with it as it widens the audience and adds an aura of tech sophistication. Check ye in regularly at FP for more.

I’ve also been threatened with asked to consider more one-off original videos, including some interviews. Look for all that when you see it.

Civil War 2.0, Freedom Prepper, October 2020, preview, riots

Winter preparedness was going to be our general theme for the month of October at FP. It still is, though it’s getting pushed back a few days/weeks. We have time. And something else is brewing like a bad winter blizzard that needs attention first. Accordingly, we’re about to start a short series on all things riots, civil unrest, and civil war. You won’t want to miss it. Okay, you probably wouldn’t mind missing the war. But the series is a must. More and some links soon. P

A Jumbled Mess of History and Labels

America, collapse, government, Holy Roman Empire, Roman Empire, United States

“America” is not the Holy Roman Empire of the 21st Century. America is gone and the US is dying. Take out “Holy” – as there’s little Holy about the US – and the US is the Western Roman Empire in late-stage collapse.

The Holy Roman Empire was finally dissolved when Napoleon, commanding the first modern national army, steamrolled the coalition opposing him at the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805. About half the empire’s territory was folded into a brief “Confederation of the Rhine” French puppet state, and Francis II, the last emperor, abdicated the throne. In western Germany, Napoleon swept away all the feudal cruft and replaced it with his famous legal code, which heavily influenced the subsequent German legal foundation.

That certainly won’t be the fate of America, and of course this analogy is far from perfect in every respect. But the broader lesson is that political systems require maintenance and regular updating to stay on top of the developments of history. A great many holes in America’s national fabric have been left un-patched over the decades. An ever-more extreme conservative party is now exploiting those holes to try to permanently conquer the American republic. They might well succeed.

It’s a hard read to follow – far from perfect, yes – but almost worth it. You see, the Electoral College and gerrymandering did in the HRE. “America” is just the same, but of course, won’t suffer the same fate. A republic…

Get Well, Dr. Paul

get well, Ron Paul, stroke

Not the best day for the remains of liberty in America. Ron Paul was hospitalized after a possible stroke.

Paul, 85, was talking about federal stimulus money when his speech began to slur.

He was hospitalized in Texas for “precautionary reasons,” according to Fox News.

Fox News also reported that Paul was “lucid and optimistic.”

I watched the incident video – hard to watch. However, sometimes these things are just exhaustion. And, this is RP; even a stroke can’t slow him down.

coming soon, drafts, fiction, short story

While looking through the drafts for items to delete, I came across an idea I had based on something that happened many years ago. It was only a title, and I converted it into this post. It turns out that the subject matter has already, recently, been converted into a short story! That, you may get to see one of these days.

As it turns out, I have another short work of fiction which you’ll get to read on October 1st – also based, very loosely, on a true story. It was written for a dedicated audience and was well received as “fun and refreshing.” In fact, those same words have been used by multiple advance reviewers. You’ll know it when you see it.

Also: Dr. Ironsides and the rest of the cast – those you know and those you’ve never heard of – have not been idle…
