A June Update On WW3

 

I have returned from my first vacation in almost 400 years, and boy howdy, I need a break. 

June is upon us, a busy month. In addition to hosting Juneteenth, June is also sodomite child-predation month. Weight your millstones accordingly. And … you know what? I hereby cancel all of that! You’re welcome. Do remember that June 8th is, of course, USS Liberty Remembrance Day. 34 American men were intentionally killed by Israel. Believe it or not, the IDF/N has a memorial to the ship and her crew at the Clandestine Naval Museum in Haifa – something that queer dipshit Ron DeSantis wouldn’t allow in a Florida town where a survivor lives. Never forget.

It’s not your imagination. Republicans come in two primary varieties: bloodthirsty zionists, and pedophile sodomites. Please pardon the extreme redundancy in that last sentence. I know there’s considerable cross-over between the types, and I know there are one or two (and no more) exceptions to the otherwise hard and fast rule. Here, I planned to tell the truth about Lindsey Graham, Brian Kemp, Ron DeSantis, and maybe a few others, but what’s the point? I could mention the predictable debt ceiling caving and cucking by McCarthy and Company, but again, it’s a moot issue. Bloodthirsty zionists and pedophile sodomites. 

Instead, let’s take a somewhat rambling look at World War Three. I’ll try to steer this thing.

Regarding the hot part of the war in Europe, ZATO air games aside, I think the Wicked Witch of the WereWest, Vicky Nuland, is babbling her dreams aloud, Rainman-style, more than expressing coherent strategy. This summer may get hot. Or not. If the heat is on, look for a Russian victory. If not, look for a Russian victory.

There’s also a slow-smoldering fire in Serbia. The rainbow brigade from KFOR recently knocked some Serbian heads around. This miserable affair in Kosovo has been a GAE staple for decades now. Over the past week, somewhat reliable sources alleged that the usual suspects are trying to bring a Maidan-esque revolution to Belgrade. Here’s hoping that all of that fails, that the people behind it drop dead, and Camp Bondsteel is swallowed in a huge sinkhole. There’s more, but let’s keep this moving.

Four years ago, the USSA prepared to launch its biological warfare campaign and idiotic global hoax on the decent if dull-witted people of the Third Rock. If you’ve read … never mind. Just know that Occupied Palestine was one of the many countries that tracked the effects of the Great Hoax. They, at least the occupiers, have just reported that no healthy people under the age of 50 died from the Hoax. Furthermore, the average age of those who did die from (or with) the Hoax was at or above the ordinary average age of death. This was the standard, internationally-observed trend, and one that yours truly called out early in 2020. 

The same sources are a little slower getting to various other mortality statistics from 2021 and 2022 – likely to shield the public from the obvious fact that the second-stage bioweapon, aka the “vaccine” was far more deadly than the first stage SARS-HIV-HOAX bug. I think it was Dr. Zev Zelenko (RIP) who said Occupied Palestine was the largest second-stage bioweapon test laboratory in the world based on the percentage of people who stupidly, faithlessly accepted it. I watched him address the Rabbinical Council of Occupied Palestine back in 2020. Then, he explained his treatment protocol which boasted a virtually 100% cure rate. 

But, by and large, people don’t trust medical doctors with 100% success rates. Instead, they trust “science”, which they can’t define, as foisted by the Clowns who live to poison and kill people with biological weapons, chemical weapons, radiological weapons, nuclear weapons, and any other kind of weapons they can use. This young century, even without the Hoax, they’ve killed the hell out of millions of innocents.

The Watson Institute at Brown University just released a study, How Death Outlives War: The Reverberating Impact of the Post-9/11 Wars on Human Health, about the magnitude and causes of the murders perpetrated by Clown World. Read that, or at least, the Executive Summary (2 pages, come on). In brief summation, most people killed in warfare are not killed by overt martial actions like shootings and bombings. Rather, they die of disease, starvation, contamination, exhaustion, and despair. The Clowns have so killed at least 4.5 million innocent people over the last two decades (excluding the Hoax and the Ukrainian front – both Clown-sponsored activities). The ending words of the Summary make George Carlin look prophetic: “The post-9/11 wars have occurred in countries whose populations are largely Black and brown, and are often waged by countries with histories of white supremacism and Islamophobia.” 

They left out Clown-supremacy, but like Carlin said, “bombing brown people”. Equity and inclusion mongers can breathe smugly knowing C19 and the 404 Affair have greatly spread the misery among all peoples. All of these are crimes of aggression that cry out to Heaven for Vengeance.

Accordingly, the fake Brandon administration is declaring war! On — anti-satanism! Naturally, it’s what one might expect from the most satanically infiltrated and dominated fake administration in history. One can further expect Brandon to solicit and gain massive support from his pro-satanic, bloodthirsty zionist, pedo-homo GOP friends. In many ways, whatever controls Brandon is way behind the assorted GOPers. 

The main takeaway from all this madness and evil is that no one, especially no young man, double-especially no young Southern man, should ever trust anything said or done by the Clowns. Do not believe them. Do not support them. And most importantly, do not serve them. Let the Clowns defend Clown World. Let them die for it. Let them suffer Judgment for it. You, sane people, just live. Get out there. Build, get married, and raise families. Keep them safe from the deprivations of the world. While the luciferian order of today burns, it’s time to plan a new society. 

I have a little book that may help in recognizing some of the traps of post-modernity. Many thanks, again, to Dr. Wilson for his excellent review of The Substitute. Given all he wrote, and given that it’s all true, I suggest people purchase at least 25 copies.

That’s a wrap for this week. 

Excuse for a COLUMN: A Rambling Retreat

A Rambling Retreat

 

Hello! For once in a blue moon, I’m on holiday. I wasn’t exactly sure what to write about this week, so here’s a general scoffing at a few things, perhaps coupled with random observations from the road.

Putin is dead nine times over, and Ukraine has won the SMO thrice. Still, ZATO needed a game-changer, a magic weapon of super-duper significance. And it is the Javelin M-777 HIMARS depleted uranium Patriot Asstroglide Storm Shadow F-16! If – big IF – these not-bad fighters make their way to the 404, then we’ll all get a kick out of videos and photos of them being blasted from the sky. *yawn*

The United States of ‘Murica is an exceptional nation. A beacon of democracy, rules-based order, degeneracy, usury, and sodomy to the world. So it is that the debt ceiling debacle isn’t really a big deal. It’s just more retardery from a dead empire. The only interesting thing – and this may be the margaritas typing – is that the pending gloom and doom threatens SSI payments. They’ll paper over it again this time, probably. Yet, sooner or later, and likely sooner, the show’s over. Fear of losing their precious “I done paid mine!!!” monthly checks keeps BOOMERS(!) and (shhhhhhhh!) Silents in places like Texas from supporting things like secession. It’s ironic that — ah, heck. *yawn*

Not! To! Worry! Tim Scott will save us! Vote for Honest Timmy, GOP-ites, and no one, and I mean, no one will call you “racist”. Okay, they’ll call you that until stage ten is in progress, but at least you can waste your vote on a nice guy who tells the truth. Timmy is right: ‘Murica is not in decline. ‘Murica is dead and decaying and has been for some years now. Given all of the other GOP hoodlums, not to mention RFK— There’s not going to be an election, so let’s just yawn through this one and move on.

Even the deep state’s ability to generate havoc has declined markedly in just the past few years. On Christmas morning, back in 2020, for reasons, they detonated an RV-load of explosives allegedly just to knock over a server tower … for reasons. This week, the best they could do was lazily drive a U-haul truck up to the White House. The only item inside the truck was a Nazi flag. If this was a DS attack, then it ranks among the lowest and saddest of all their many attempts. On the other hand, it was a Nazi flag, and Lil’ Ze has been MIA for some weeks now, so… Anyway, on to citrus trees and whatnot.

“Closed for the Season”. That’s what the sign at the Orange and Citrus Shop said. The doors were indeed locked, and the lights were off. That made it impossible to buy a basket or pecan roll or whathaveyou for housewarming gift purposes. Thank goodness the grocery store sells whatever that was I grabbed without looking. But I want to know exactly what season shuttered the fruit stand. Spring? Or is this an advance on summer? Tourist season? Baseball season? The rainy season? I suppose some questions just aren’t meant to be answered.

I also suppose this little excuse for a column has reached the natural endpoint. They can’t all be winners, right? We’ll be back next week, hopefully with some substance. In the words of Curly Bill, “Well, bye”.

Clown World Arrogance Doomed The Great Counteroffensive

 

Kiev’s mighty counteroffensive against them mean, overly aggressive, and all-but-defeated Russkies started about a year ago. Or six months ago. Or around New Year’s. Or last week. Or never. Last I heard, Lil’ Ze, decked out in tactical high heels and a rainbow-colored camo SS uniform, was leading his fifty and sixty-year-old conscripts straight to the gates of Moscow. Rumor has it Joe Wilson (R – South Israelina) and Hunter Biden (D – Eightballistan) were in the van, guarding the Asstroglide supply. 

By now, you know the drill. The Russians, the only people really “in the know”, say very little. ZATO and its wholly-owned media spew forth a constant stream of lies. Part of the Clown’s lying comes genetically from something passed down by their father. Another part, a very large part, comes from plain old arrogance, a collective drinking of the Jonestown-esque Kool-Aid. Vladimir Putin, leader of the free world, called out the genesis of this diseased mindset during his Victory Day speech last week: “We believe that any ideology of superiority is inherently disgusting, criminal, and deadly”. That ideology, if unchecked, leads to forcible attempts of supremacy, which leads to conflict, which leads to death. How deadly? Some current estimates from the SMO, not necessarily exact, place the number of dead Ukies and ZATO ringers somewhere between 300-400,000 KIAs, with total casualties drifting toward one million. That kind of deadly.

The rulers of the dying yankee empire have subtly begun to shift their distracting focus away from their inevitable defeat in Europe. Your neighbor who still flies the Ukrainian flag, and who probably still wears a face diaper, is in for a rude awakening. She didn’t bother to check Lil’ Ze’s panicked “treason” comments as redacted the other day by the WaPo. She likely thinks, if that’s possible, that Evgeny Prigozhin is a tantrum-throwing lunatic and not, as Larry Johnson astutely surmised, a master of something similar to the CIA-SAD’s brand of misinformation and distraction in the cause of paramilitary engagement. She’s probably not worth talking to, but if you have to, please be kind. By then, if not already, she’ll likely be all-in on the next obvious unwinnable conflict – with China. The Clowns are already planning to give Taiwan the Ukrainian treatment, as evidenced by some recent idiotic admissions by Rep. Seth Moulton (D – Israechusetts) to the Milken Institute. Yes, that (((Milken))) Institute. In brief, the Clowns are willing to bomb Taiwan’s semiconductor industry out of existence, a multi-trillion dollar global techno-economic catastrophe notwithstanding, just to make life a little more difficult for Chairman Jiping. The very good news is that evil retarded schemes like that are driving Taipei closer to peaceful, willing reunification with Beijing. 

Clown World’s disastrous Taiwanese plan heavily relies on hypothetical naval power. The USSA historically conducted four types of warfare in order to gain and hold global hegemony: 1) deception, 2) terrorism, 3) short-term expeditionary tactics, and 4) sea-based power. Arrogance lies like a fog across all four. DC’s Navy (now, “Gay-vy”) was, for the past century or so, very competent, very dangerous, and very effective. All post-modern problems aside, to a large degree, it still is. It faces two insurmountable problems this century. The first is that it cannot sufficiently defend its costly capital ships against missile attacks. The second is the pervasive arrogance among the flag officers, the political trash, the fake military intelligentsia, and the just smart enough to watch “Top Gun” ‘Murican public. 

It’s been this way for some time. Have you, dear reader, ever heard about the 1970’s wargame wherein the tiny Belgian air force “sank” the Big John, CV-67? I didn’t think so. Cruise and the Bruckheimers may have omitted the fiasco from their otherwise entertaining movie(s). The Belgians “won” that battle due to their ingenuity and skill, and due to ‘Murican military arrogance. 

It’s been this way for a very long time. Have you, dear reader, ever heard of the Battle of Savo Island in 1942? Of the Solomon Campaign during WW2? A small flotilla of Japanese ships blasted the daylights out of the combined Allied fleet, scoring a major, nearly casualty-free victory for Tokyo. Again, the root cause was ‘Murican military arrogance. US Rear Admiral Richmond Turner admitted as much:

The Navy was still obsessed with a strong feeling of technical and mental superiority over the enemy. In spite of ample evidence as to enemy capabilities, most of our officers and men despised the enemy and felt themselves sure victors in all encounters under any circumstances. The net result of all this was a fatal lethargy of mind which induced a confidence without readiness, and a routine acceptance of outworn peacetime standards of conduct. I believe that this psychological factor, as a cause of our defeat, was even more important than the element of surprise. (Turner’s Memo to CINCPAC, May 13, 1943). 

Never misjudge the other guy. And treat all enemies as what they all can be – lethal adversaries. Of course, the US went on to win the War in the Pacific. In fairness to all concerned, mistakes were made around Savo by all parties. Once the grandeur of his nighttime victory wore off, IJN Vice Admiral Gunichi Mikawa was roundly criticized for not further pressing his advantages. Whereas the US succumbed to arrogance, Mikawa gave in – and not without good reason – to over-cautiousness.

Today, the primary factors that contributed to the inevitable US/Allied victory over Germany and Japan, practically guarantee Sino-Russian victory over Clown World. If one has ten minutes, then it might be instructive to play with this Coalition Builder model. Know that the data is out of date (e.g., they still list a Ukrainian navy), and multiple factors are missing. Still, one can directly pit “NATO”, backed by “Japan”, “Taiwan”, etc. against “Russia” and/or “China” and then assess the probable outcome(s). Summary: Clowns lose.

Back to the SMO, here’s a VIDEO that shows how well Brandon’s master’s counteroffensive is going. That was (emphasis on the “was” part) ZATO’s massive ordnance and fuel depot in Khmelnytskyi. I do not have precise figures, but it had to be thousands, if not tens of thousands of tons of ZATO munitions, or TNT equivalent, were destroyed in something approaching a Hiroshima-class explosion that registered somewhere between 3 and 4 on the Richter Scale. Perhaps a half-billion, if not a full billion dollars worth of “counteroffensive” supplies gone in an instant. 

If the MOD’s operational pattern is discernible, then it looks like a long series of episodes of watching the Clowns deliver armament after armament to the 404, letting those weapons take their place in the various cauldrons, and then annihilating them with artillery and missiles strikes – a strategy of allowing the enemy to continually defeat and disarm itself. The Khmelnytskyi offensive is much more aggressive. Perhaps it is a sign of a change in pace. Or, it could be the case of an opportunity too good to pass over. Either way, an enormous trove of potential firepower just ceased to exist. This is obviously a win for Moscow. But it is also good for the entire conflict, even as far as the Ukrainian people are concerned; the fewer weapons there are, the fewer men will be killed wielding them. For the people in western Ukraine, this wake-up call comes with an added radiological effervescence, the result of the UK ignoring Russian warnings about ZATO’s mini-WMD of choice (see Serbia and Iraq), depleted uranium. 

There’s also the double-edged angle for literal Americans and other real Westerners: none of those destroyed weapons can ever be used against us by our satanic foreign overlords. That’s good, as is the overall disarming of the Clowns, and the fact Clown constituent countries no longer have the capacity or funding to sufficiently replenish lost supplies. One downside is the loss of potential underdog initial material supply in the inevitable event of domestic unpleasantness. Still, all things considered, it is for the best.

In closing, a somewhat unsettling notion has grown in my mind for the last month or so. It regards a thinly-perceived strategy of the Clowns in their desperate attempts to remain alive and in power. Call it a great internal leap, maybe a lateral leap. I’ll keep an eye and a few neurons on it. For now, remember to never, ever trust, follow, or depend on the Clowns. They have ways of making their arrogant, evil insanity look desirable. Don’t fall for it. It is a psychological factor that only leads to defeat. Let all of that affect the Clowns alone.

In keeping with the recent theme of book promotions, I’ll recommend Disintegration and Losing Military Supremacy, both by Andrei Martyanov and Eisenhower At War, 1943-1945, by David Eisenhower (the General’s grandson). Of course, now is the time to purchase as many copies of The Substitute as one can afford.

Hummingbirds for Hedgehogs, Cats for Mice: General Commentary AND a Review of LA POUDRE AUX YEUX by Justine Reix

 

Late last week, I learned that SBU stormtroopers had arrested Gonzalo Lira again in Kharkov. He stands accused of, much like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, telling the truth. Here’s praying for the best for him, his family, and his friends. I suppose emailing Tony Blinken the suggestion Lira is really a lesbian basketball druggie will not help as, of course, he and all other honest men can expect zero assistance from the imperial Yankee government. Today’s book review deals with government incompetence, dishonesty, and callous disregard – getting there in just a moment. Just the other week, all three characteristics were on full display when Joe Wilson (R – South Israelina) dropped House Res. 322, which might as well be known as the “Hey! While We’re Being Totally Wicked And Stupid, Let’s Declare (Unwinnable) War On Russia Act Of 2023”. Don’t worry, you, your children, and your grandchildren will pick up the potential tab for that.

Also, not too long ago, I learned of a terrible misdefinition of the “Sigma Male” of Socio-Sexual Hierarchy (SSH) fame. Many a right-winger, including the author of the original taxonomy, were amused at the reporting on the subject by one writer at VICE. She got it wrong, obviously, but I’m not entirely certain it was all her fault. Many illegitimate sources have out-of-the-blue claimed expertise in all things SSH. It may be a case of her not looking deeply enough, instead becoming satisfied by what she saw blathered all over creation (and TikTok). There was also the subtle feeling of Gekaufte Journalisten at work. Some SSH ideas help the heterosexual male members of the right and are thus anathema to Clown World. Regardless, writers like her get paid to produce content. Given everything, I found it difficult to fault her too hard.

But I did look into her, finding this:

(Multiple Twitter Picture Postin’s).

What a beautiful … book!

It turned out to be not such a bad book either. Here’s my,

Review of La Poudre Aux Yeux: Enquête sur le Ministère de l’Ecologie by Justine Reix, JC Lattès (2022) (US) (FR). 

La Poudre Aux Yeux, (Powder in the Eyes), is the tandem call for better ecological policy, and a discovery that government does not necessarily work as promised. It is not, as of yet, available in English. That may deter the casual non-French reader. However, I am told that multiple digital parties have assembled easy-to-use translation services. So there is hope for the intrepid reader. 

My Amazon review, below, essentially summarizes most of my thoughts on Reix’s book. However, I will first share a few more specific revelations for readers of my blog and, especially, the gangs at Reckonin’ and Abbeville. After all, agrarianism is a major theme for Southern People. It even received titular and topical treatment in Alan Harrelson’s (hey, bub!) doctoral dissertation at MSU, Native to the Soil: Twentieth-Century Agrarian Thought in the Upland South. Agrarianism is inescapably linked to ecology and environment matters. We all have to live somewhere, and most of us would like our somewheres as pristine as possible. Over the past few years, for reasons related to chemtrails, railroad fires, DNA-altering “vaccines”, and more, many on the right have changed their thinking about environmental issues. We all remain at least somewhat suspicious of the government and its (often corporate) owners.

A primary expertise of mine is in spotting and understanding evil trends in political matters, which is very, very easy. This helped markedly in appreciating Reix’s realization that France’s Ministry of Ecology might not do the best job of representing the interests of the French people. For her part, I suppose she is and was an idealistic, liberal young woman who perhaps thought things semi-worked as advertised. I was relieved to see, despite coming around to the harsh truth, she never lost her fire regarding her core concerns. 

However, many of my readers may not know it, but I was briefly, for one class in one college quarter, a student of Eugene Odum, the “father of modern ecology”. The class might have been entirely conducted by a graduate student, and I may have forgotten 97% of what I learned, but there’s still that 3%, right? There’s also the fact that I appreciate a clean environment. Many of the principles of modern “climate change” ecology I not only disagree with but know to be disproven, observably and mathematically. Reix covers some of that, but innocently and not in any raging or pushy fashion. I do agree with her on many of the other matters she discusses. Much of her caution and advice, especially as to what individuals and families can and should do, is sound. The great geostrategic and economic changes of the past year are literally forcing some of her proposals on the world; she called for a lessening of globalization, and that’s what we’re getting. Families in rural Doubs, France, and in rural northern Alabama are already practicing better ways that look suspiciously like traditional ways. 

For the Amazonians, I noted one particular point that I and Reix both found saddening – the fact that many young people are actively foregoing family formation and children out of fear of damaging the planet. There are other factors, economic and cultural at work, but this trend is real. I hope it ends immediately. Our greater ecological risk is damaging ourselves more than or to a higher degree than the Earth. And the only people who should have to fear are the people who have wrecked our fields, streams, towns, schools, economies, DNA, tranquility, sanity, and nations. Kids, that is not you; have no fear. Get out there, be happy, and have a bunch of children!

Also, keep those children out of organized schools and, to the greatest extent possible, out of the dying postmodern culture. While discussing potential corrective ecological approaches, Reix quotes a Léo Cohen, p. 138 (Kindle), on a similar entangled subject: “Quand on oblige les parents à mettre leurs enfants à l’école dès l’âge de 3 ans , on ne parle pas d’éducation punitive . Il y a une bataille culturelle à mener (When we force parents to put their children in school from the age of 3, we are not talking about punitive education. There’s a cultural battle to be fought)”. I do talk and write about “punitive” education, all the time. The schools in France, as-is, work much better than those in the former United States. However, they still force parents to send their children to be forcibly instructed in whatever the force of the state decrees appropriate. Interestingly, many of Reix’s personal suggestions, such as buying, growing, and living locally, appear most compatible with the concepts of homeschooling and parental (not state) control over children. 

There are other points I could make, though I think those work here. So now, please read my (5-Star) review submitted to Amazon, in French (translation follows):

Colibris pour Hérissons

Soixante ans après SILENT SPRING, nous avons peut-être un digne successeur à Rachel Carson.

Justine Reix a accompli deux exploits remarquables dans LA POUDRE AUX YEUX, plaidant de manière éclairée et sensée pour la gérance de l’environnement, tout en rappelant simultanément au monde la cupidité, l’insouciance et la léthargie systémiques endémiques dans les domaines intimement liés de la politique et de la corporatocratie.

Problèmes environnementaux. Même moi, un Américain de droite, j’ai trouvé un terrain d’entente avec les questions centrales abordées par Reix. Bien que je ne sois pas exactement d’accord avec toutes les politiques et slogans actuels associés à l’écologie moderne, je reconnais que nous avons tous des problèmes. Nous avons également tout intérêt à résoudre ces problèmes afin de pouvoir, selon les mots d’Eugene Odum, favoriser << des relations plus harmonieuses entre l’homme et la nature >>. Nous devons, pouvons et allons le faire. Au milieu de discussions sur de nombreux sujets et stratégies d’amélioration, Reix énumère des solutions véritablement réalisables, en particulier certaines de celles qu’elle oriente vers la prise de décision individuelle.

Calamité ministérielle. Reix doit être félicitée pour ce qui a dû être un processus d’enquête ardu dans la compilation matériel de base. Et elle aurait pu facilement transformer ses découvertes exploratoires en un traité sur n’importe quel ministère ou département de n’importe quel gouvernement de n’importe quelle nation. Tous les gouvernements sont soumis à certaines tendances bureaucratiques, et tous finissent par succomber à un abaissement et à un déplacement des loyautés et des efficacités. Étant donné que mon pays est dans un état aussi mauvais, voire pire que la France, le seul conseil que je pourrais donner est de persévérer.

Méfiez-vous également quelques des experts et des responsables, au sein et en dehors du gouvernement, en particulier ceux qui s’appuient sur un état constant d’alarme rhétorique. Il y a un grand cycle à l’œuvre, et ses différents auteurs changent fréquemment de rôle, résolvant un problème, dont la résolution crée un nouveau problème, qui continue encore et encore. Les préoccupations écologiques sont étroitement liées aux préoccupations économiques, de stabilité sociétale, etc. Ce réseau de soins interconnectés devrait intéresser tout le monde, car la plupart des groupes ont plus en commun qu’ils ne le pensent indépendamment. Reix couvre magistralement cette vérité; à titre d’exemple, j’ai été réconforté par le mention de forger un lien potentiel avec les gilets jaunes.

Une chose m’a causé une inquiétude supplémentaire dans la lecture, une tendance que j’ai lue ailleurs. Reix note et déplore certains hommes et femmes plus jeunes qui décident <<de ne pas faire d’enfants par peur de l’avenir>>. J’encourage tous les membres des jeunes générations en France, aux États-Unis et au-delà, à ne pas céder à la peur et à renoncer ainsi à tout bonheur familial, dont la poursuite n’est pas seulement sous l’ordre de Dieu mais qui procure également une grande joie personnelle. Certaines des propositions simples de Reix, correctement mises en œuvre, devraient encourager plutôt que décourager les familles harmonieuses. Ce n’est pas le chemin le plus facile à parcourir, mais des auteurs comme Justine Reix proposent le début d’une feuille de route décente.

La composition narrative de Reix se lit également très facilement, coulant de manière transparente d’un concept à l’autre. J’ai été entraîné, captivé et ma maîtrise du français, ma deuxième langue, fait un peu défaut. Quoi qu’il en soit, un argument convaincant et convaincant ressort des paroles de Reix. Elle est honnête mais passionnée, audacieuse mais raffinée, sage mais pleine d’esprit. Je note qu’elle a ouvert et fermé son livre avec des analogies allégoriques animales, une touche délicieuse. Elle a une belle voix et un style belletristiques, et j’aimerais la voir se développer davantage, ou, plutôt, la libérer à l’avenir. Quelques feux, humble colibri, ça paye de continuer à brûler !

Une série de messages importants dans un livre merveilleux.

English:

Hummingbirds for Hedgehogs

Sixty years after SILENT SPRING, we may have a worthy successor to Rachel Carson.

Justine Reix accomplished two remarkable feats in LA POUDRE AUX YEUX, making an informed and sensible case for environmental stewardship, while simultaneously reminding the world of the systemic greed, recklessness and lethargy endemic in the intertwined areas of politics and corporatocracy.

Environmental problems. Even I, a right-wing American, have found common ground with the central issues addressed by Reix. While I don’t exactly agree with all of the current policies and slogans associated with modern ecology, I recognize that we all have issues. We also have a vested interest in solving these problems so that we can, in the words of Eugene Odum, promote “more harmonious relations between man and nature”. We must, can and will do it. Amid discussions of many topics and strategies for improvement, Reix lists some truly workable solutions, especially some of those that she steers toward individual decision-making.

Ministerial calamity. Reix is to be commended for what must have been an arduous investigative process in compiling source material. And she could easily have turned her exploratory findings into a treatise on any ministry or department of any government of any nation. All governments are subject to certain bureaucratic tendencies, and all eventually succumb to a lowering and displacement of loyalties and efficiencies. Since my country is in as bad a state, if not worse than France, the only advice I could give is to persevere.

Also beware a few experts and officials, inside and outside government, especially those who rely on a constant state of rhetorical alarm. There is a great cycle at work, and its various authors change roles frequently, solving one problem, the solving of which creates a new problem, which goes on and on. Ecological concerns are closely related to economic concerns, societal stability, etc. This network of interconnected care should be of interest to everyone, as most groups have more in common than they realize independently. Reix masterfully covers this truth; as an example, I was comforted by the mention of forging a potential link with the yellow vests.

One thing caused me additional concern in reading, a trend I’ve read elsewhere. Reix notes and laments some younger men and women who decide “not to have children for fear of the future”. I encourage all members of the younger generations in France, the United States and beyond, not to give in to fear and thus renounce all family happiness, the pursuit of which is not only under the order of God but which also brings great personal joy. Some of Reix’s simple proposals, properly implemented, should encourage rather than discourage harmonious families. It’s not the easiest road to travel, but authors like Justine Reix offer the start of a decent roadmap.

Reix’s narrative composition also reads very easily, flowing seamlessly from concept to concept. I was driven, captivated and my fluency in French, my second language, is a bit lacking. Regardless, a compelling and convincing argument emerges from Reix’s words. She is honest but passionate, bold but refined, demure but witty. I note that she opened and closed her book with allegorical animal analogies, a delightful touch. She has a beautiful belletristic voice and style, and I would love to see her develop it more, or, rather, release it in the future. A few fires, humble hummingbird, it pays to keep burning!

A series of important messages in a wonderful book.

In closing, I gently correct Mademoiselle Reix. Lovely little hummingbird, ignoring the learned wisdom of the TikTok kings, while Bateman may be a Sigma gone maliciously insane, there are two more plausible classificatory explanations. First, if the story of American Psycho was fictitiously “factual”, then he is most likely an Alpha gone maliciously insane. Second, if the tale was a delusional dream, then, to me, it appears more likely than not he is a delusional Omega (possibly a delusional Gamma) gone maliciously, delusionally insane. Nonetheless, thank you for your dedication and spirit clearing away the powder.

A Review of THE CONSTITUTION OF NON-STATE GOVERNMENT: Field Guide to Texas Secession by T.L. Hulsey

 

*Note: TL; DR? A concise, Amazon-friendly review resides at the end of the following.

Political science – in the future, the present, and the past. Gubmint. Hello, it’s another book review. Before we get going, I’d once again like to drop an analogous quote that I often attribute to the late, great philosopher, Joe Weider, from a 1980s essay on weight training: “In bodybuilding, everything works, but nothing works for long”. That is, as any student of the iron can relate, true. And so it is with politics and most other public human affairs. As many have noticed over the long centuries, just about any form of political association and governance, regardless of how one feels or thinks about it, can and does work for some duration. But then, just as free isolating the biceps provided a route to growth yesterday, at some point stagnation and even regression sets in. A change is necessary and, generally, inevitable. Many iterations of the cycle of the state have posited; pick one (or three) and observe the patterns.

Evidence circulating in early 2023 suggests that the West, or what the West has allowed itself to become has run its course. The legitimate foundations of Christianity, the Greco-Roman legal traditions, and the heritages of the various European nations are today and for some time, wholly ignored and, in fact, shunned. The allegedly liberating replacement ideology has also fallen flat. Emulating the great, original lie as told in the Garden, every last facet of the Enlightenment has proven a malicious deception. If one seeks both a comprehensive summary of how this process unfolded, trapped, and affected America, AND one wants a highly plausible way forward, then I am happy to report we have a new guide of great worth:

T.L. Hulsey, The Constitution of Non-State Government: Field Guide to Texas Secession, Shotwell (2022) (Shotwell) (Amazon).

Preliminary Notes

A few points of initial clarification:

First, I must gently refute the author’s kind, self-deprecating autochthon assessment, from page 15 (Kindle):

Every line is mine alone – someone with no degree whatsoever from any university, whose loftiest state imprimatur, unique in my entire family, is a high school diploma. Thus the reader will not find in me any argument from authority. I have abundantly referenced others who might be more informed on particular matters, but ultimately the reader must face the harrowing challenge of having to think for himself.

One will certainly be forced to use one’s mind, a challenge and a reward. Hulsey’s authority to present such a challenge may casually defy Max Weber’s trinitarian taxonomy, though I think he leans strongly towards “charismatic” influence, as bolstered by ample subject-matter historicity and implicit, fluid construction of creative ideas. In other words, it is a fully displayed case of Bloom’s logical taxonomy on and of the seventh order. In other other words, Hulsey writes to us in both a thinking and thoughtful fashion. In case one is wondering, that is rare. Who needs lower academic credentials when one has such a book? As I noted in my much shorter Amazon review (below), in The Constitution of Non-State Government, Hulsey presents “a doctoral-level dissertation”. Here, I will note the book appears to have been partly intended, perhaps subconsciously, for an audience with an average Mensa minimum standard IQ. It is so drafted by someone I suspect of personally being at least a standard deviation north of that already lofty mark. None of this, by the way, should deter the new reader. It is, rather, encouraging evidence of the value of the author’s “harrowing challenge”.

Now, something that temporarily vexed my hard head, and which doesn’t really comport with the modern/post-modern notions of political science: what is a “Non-State Government”? These words cut through the neoliberal idiocy of our day. One may have noticed, even if one is unwilling to yet admit the realities, that the era of ideology is over. Hulsey’s is a book that graciously accepts the correct order of man’s nature, with identity first, followed by society or culture, and then, and only then, by politics – with attendant political labels. This book looks beyond the concepts of the modern “state”, an artificial construct, allowed by the laws of physics to work for a time, but, like all constructs of disingenuous modernity, destined to fail. Regardless of what some hold for propositional truth, a nation is no more than a defined group of somehow-related people. They necessarily have to live somewhere, and so the true state or nation is but an expression of their existence, together, and in the corporeal world. Hulsey more than explains the differences between the real and the faux, and the reader will do well to dispense with his preconceived ideas about the who, what, why, and how of government. In brief, what’s proposed is a government – just not the kind we’ve been lied to about all our lives.

Next, Texas. The Lone Star State and Republic is as fine a place as any to examine Hulsey’s ideas. In fact, given its relative uniqueness, it may be the best place to do so. Given the author, it all certainly makes sense. However, just as one shouldn’t remain hung-up on “isms”, one should understand that Hulsey has really novelized a generally applicable solution. His ideas, while based on natural, universal axioms, are largely Western in origin. While the implementation of his plan might not be universally practical, it is universally advisable to consider many of the points made. Polygenesis aside, people, one might have noticed, are different. What works for the European may or may not work as well for the African or the Asian. That said, what is offered is a blueprint, which may be modified as needed or if needed. These are concepts that could effectively serve many populations, if not exactly to the same scope or degree. They are certainly, as expressed, compatible with 21st-century Texans, and probably also with contemporary Carolinians, Germans, Poles, and other Westerners. It really depends on who, precisely, accepts Hulsey’s afore-noted challenge.

One last thing: religious argumentation. In now ancient Anglo-American jurisprudence, there is or was a maxim of constitutional or statutory analysis that held strict assessment of some questioned law or thing, against a founding, “absolute” authority, should be withheld as a “nuclear option” of last resort. For example, if a court is asked to decide whether a new law violates the First Amendment’s prohibition against fettering the press, the wise judge(s) would first see if the law might be confirmed or condemned by some lesser measure, like the concept of being voided via vague language. The armchair lawyer will make of this approach what he will, and he is informed if he realizes it was a rationalized thing of the past, with our existing “state” governments having succumbed to Tully’s admonition, “the more laws, the less justice”. Herein, as he masks his genius, Hulsey also openly states he has avoided religious authority in grounding his otherwise reasoned and logical designs. He succeeds in doing so. Yet, what he conceptualizes is highly harmonized with religious, particularly Christian thought. This is, in my mind’s eye, highly synonymous to Tolkien’s constant downplaying of Christian analogy in his works. One can only reply: “Yes, yes, as you say, professor. It’s not overtly there. It merely suggests itself to the mind and heart repeatedly and honestly”. This reviewer finds the result pleasantly remarkable and further proof of intellectual veracity.

Construction and Style

The Constitution… is divided into two essential parts. There is more through them both, rather than between them, a transitioning nexus that acts more as a bridge than a barrier. The first part deals well and fully with the philosophical nature of man, his attempts at society and government, and a few of the follies of our long history. This is the part that may challenge the casual reader the hardest. If one reads from Kindle, then make use of the defined terminology feature. Otherwise, have ready a sound dictionary. Hulsey uses, correctly, almost every term in our doctrinal vocabulary. In fact, about the only one I missed was “ochlocracy”. He uses, instead, the self-defining synonym “mobocracy” on page 136 (K). 

The second part, which I will examine hereafter semi-concurrent with the first, is an actionable how-to guide for building a new and better society. Over the years, in more than a few columns, this reviewer has given reader assignments regarding preparedness in one area or another. Most of these calls have gone publicly unanswered. Yet, Hulsey has entertained what I previously thought were critical structural issues – and then some. Best of all, his instructions are based on a whole-process reality. The casual reader will find this section more relatable and, hopefully, inspirational.

The transition, as I’m calling it, which flows from cover to cover, is a cogent summary of many historical trends, deeds, and misdeeds that have led us in the United States to our somewhat uncomfortable present. One will get a decent examination of the paradoxes, hypocrisies, double standards, and inexplicable stupidities that have come to define that thing on the Potomac and its relationship with us. 

As for style, Hulsey deploys an authoritative and entertaining methodology that seamlessly blends itself into all concepts throughout the book. In two words, it is “well written”. Like a river, it has a current, understated but strong, that pulls the reader along. Rather than being tempted to overanalyze the copious information, as encountered, one is advised to assume a floating position, head up, and enjoy the educational ride. And, by “copious”, I mean the literal sense of the word. For a shorter-to-average-length book, this one stuffs everything but the proverbial kitchen sink into one package surprisingly commodious and uncluttered. How Hulsey managed that is a bit of a mystery. Just know that it works. And delightfully well.

Philosophy Leading To Action

Herein, I had originally thought I wanted to step-by-step review my assorted notes in order to paint an accurate and lauding portrait. However, once I exported my remarks and highlights, I found I had assembled 22 pages(!) of them. That dog won’t hunt, so, for a better examination, I have condensed a few things. Looky here:

At the end of the day, the reasonable and responsible, the kind and the wise, are after justice, particularly in matters of law, economy, and political construction. I quote myself (and a better mind) from 2013:

An exhaustive examination of natural law was one of the central themes of St. Thomas Aquinas’s great Treatise on Law, part of his larger Summa Theologica.  Expanding upon Plato and Aristotle’s “outside the box” approach, Thomas concludes, with reference assistance of Saint Augustine, that law “which is not just seems to be no law at all.  Hence a law has as much force as it has justice.”  St. Thomas, Treatise on Law, R.J. Henle, S.J., editor, pg. 287, U. Notre Dame Press, 1993.  St. Thomas goes on to say that a civil or earthly law with conflicts with natural law is a perversion rather than a law.  Thus, did Walden and others, claim a basis for civil disobedience to repugnant laws.

Aquinas simplified man’s relationship with God’s determined order: “Divine law is not in conflict with natural law, but it reaches human beings by a different route, revelation.” And, so on to positive, man-made laws. And, with all history as a guide, what “reaches human beings” is, at best, muddled, both by our various mental incapacities and by our, ahem, nature. See any and all attempts by man to govern himself for examples of our natural perversions.

Within his first explanatory segment, Hulsey, via a header, defines exactly what (and to a surprising degree, “why”) he’s interested in:

Only a non-state form of government can avoid totalitarianism, by sublimating destructive envy, diffusing Interest with symbiotic reason, avoiding the deontology/consequentialism dilemma with virtue ethics in a system of sortition, and devolving power to the sovereign people by means of the absolute right of property and the right of secession.

Hulsey, p. 146 (K). 

A mouthful? Yes, but with deep instructive meaning. More on that in a moment.

First, lock up the sacred cows of modernity! Hulsey has come for them. In addition to dismissing the enlightenment modern state as dead, much like the extinct auk (big penguin), he specifically notes the passing of the United States as we knew, remembered, or mythologized it. He is particularly hard on the Fourteenth Amendment and the overall transformation of the old American Republic (before Evil Abe) into the US Empire. The former United States, he boldly, rightly deems it. Let none forget nor neglect the fact the tyrant Lincoln murdered two (modern) super-states. Congratulations, Yankees … you, too, lost.

While quickly but keenly surveying Western culture, economy, and philosophy, Hulsey notes that the roots of all manifestations of such esoteric ideas are not products of the ideas, but of our identities. The roots are ancient, and if history has shown us anything, it is that if those roots are to lead to flowers, there must be a degree of planning involved as to how, theoretically and actually, things work in the real world. Libertarianism is one of the “isms” easily, steadily shown the door. If libertarians, conservatives, liberals, and other ideologists would simply look at the present changing world order, they would see several of Hulsey’s points already in action. China and Russia are two different countries full of different people. Yet they both have adopted a somewhat amalgamated “whole process” approach, as to economics and political structure, that works for them by cobbling in what is proven and excising that which is not. Again, the labels matter less, much less than the substance. 

The “proposition nation” fantasy of false Americanism is slaughtered. Lysander Spooner is in there too. There’s so much more. This little book is a home for vindicated rebels. And for those who do learn from past mistakes and want to move on. Part of this process recognizes three concepts I hold dear, and which should have been used a little more frequently: interposition, nullification, and, of course, secession (p. 142 (K)). 

Back to the heavy heading: Hulsey proposes (and not in any way a novel suggestive sense) a Kleristocracy (note “ww”, p. 295 (K)). That means, and one will have to read along somewhat carefully, a “sortive democracy”. That means, and it all really does flow beautifully concept-to-concept, a well-defined and regulated lottery selection system. Again, silence objections – all justifying groundwork is meticulously built and cited, including copious, irrefutable legal justification. It works, it will, and it has previously. 

Why is it critical? “The political machines of the modern state have institutionalized democratic elections to simultaneously pander to the democratic ideal while narcotizing its realization”. P. 116 (K)(emphasis mine). “VOAT(!)”, everyone practically screams every two to four years. And where, exactly, has all that electoral mania led us? We have been pandered to and narcotized. And worse. As Hulsey noted, channeling John C. Calhoun, the pandering effect brought about a noticeable “tyranny of the majority” which gave way to a lingering illusion truly ruled over by an (evil) oligarchy. The historical truth is the opposite of what all scream these days: “Sortition: the [random, organized selection] appointment of magistrates by lot is thought to be democratical [sic], and the election of them oligarchical”. P. 177(K)(quoting Aristotle). 

If one desires to unwisely argue with THE Philosopher, that is one’s own business. Just know that this, to us, seemingly incomprehensible system has, in fact, worked very, very well for several high societies throughout history. Chief, in this reviewer’s mind, among them was the Venetian Republic, which lasted and, mostly, thrived for 1,100 years! P. 148 (K). 

The way Hulsey breaks down the admittedly complex process of Venetian government is methodical and, to some, I suppose, humorous. As is this meme, appropriated from Vox Day, which, in deeply, slap-the-CONservatives fashion, essentially makes the same point(s):

(SDL, Darkstream Meme Review, UATV, 2023).

That is,

The symbiotic reason of the Venetian republic consisted of self-enforcing aristocratic rules. The republic is usually dated from the election of the first doge in 697 until its conquest by Napoleon in 1797 – 1100 years. Its prosperity attracted people from all over Europe, so that from 1050 to 1650, Venice was one of the five most populous cities in Europe. Daniel J . Smith describes it: Venice had no formal documented constitution [;however, informal] constitutional constraints included the dispersion of power through overlapping committees, complex election procedure, strict term limits, and a ducal oath of office.

Hulsey, P. 167 (K).

Having fun? This book and its viable ideas are fun. To further quote Hulsey, p. 152 (K)(double emphasis mine):

We must now turn to constituting these general axioms in a kleristocracy , or sortive democracy. Ultimately we will breathe life into them as the kleristocratic Republic of Texas.

The reader will quickly move through various defensive supporting positions: from the blatantly modern obvious, back to the genuinely philosophical, to the (comfortable and otherwise) Christian justification. The good, the bad, the ugly, and the positively optimistic.

What is proposed is a form of monarchy, though one “closely watched” and checked against abuses. A system that curbs “elective majoritarianism with the use of sortition – random selection of officeholders”. P. 169. Officeholders each with “skin in the game”. P. 170.

One will admit this or virtually anything else, is preferable to the dead or dying status quo. Hulsey, in his final drafting and revision during 2022, made some astounding predictions regarding the collapse of the postmodern US order. One regarded the letters “TX” and “AU”, which I will leave to the reader to joyously discover – simply put, what he theorized is now happening. He also semi-predicted, by a suppositional ponder, “the crisis that will prompt the final self-destruction of the American Empire”. P. 215. “That fatal crisis, entirely of the Empire’s own making, might be ignited by the replacement of the dollar as the primary world reserve currency…”. Id. Done and dusted, as of April 2023; the triggering event(s) likely being the Empire’s retarded move to kick Russia out of SWIFT and into the Sino-Russia briar patch of MIR-CIPS, coupled with the realization of half the nations of the world that the US is simply not a safe, sane place to leave valuable reserves. Entirely of its own making…

Part Two, “Instantiation”, is perhaps more relatable to the average reader. And in it, one finds the seeds of the new Texan Kleristocracy. The “how-to” really kicks in around page 300, Kindle. Therein, Hulsey deals squarely and comprehensively with things like public education (lower and higher), criminal justice, military matters (to include 21st-century issues like cyber warfare), energy, agriculture, trade, industry, and (gold) money. He puts forth very concrete ideas, many of which the reader may have previously dared to think about, yet without finding anyone to explore them. You’re in luck today!

One matter that I have previously wondered about, that few others appear to have considered at all, is what happens to nuclear weapons and related problematic issues in the inevitable event of the breaking or Balkanization of the (former) United States. Hulsey has the answers. Read this and more of his “future” assessment. Read, too, the extensive history at the end of the book of literally all prior secessionist movements – from all fifty states.

There is a lot to this book, all of it informative, entertaining, and inspiring. Before I close, I include my 5-Star review as previously sent to Amazon. One supposes they will post it according to their schedule, God willing and the AI don’t rise.

An Excellent Guide For A Sovereign, Prosperous Future

As always, the world this century is changing. A realignment has occurred internationally, creating new geopolitical, economic, and moral opportunities. Domestically, the United States, if one is entirely honest, has seen much better days. Texas, ever home to bold, determined men and women, is forging ahead. In early 2023, legislation was proposed in Austin that would create a sovereign gold-backed State currency. When this happens, Texas will have the first sound money between Mexico and Canada in over half a century. This remarkable phenomenon is one of several accurately predicted by T.L. Hulsey in the drafting of his fine book, a year or so before it happened.

The Constitution of Non-State Government is packed with remarkable, inspiring information on many subjects, all woven together into a moving tapestry that lays hold of the reader and does not let go. This book was written by an author with a keen understanding of philosophy, religion, morality, economics, and history. Within the well-designed layout, the presentation is also constructed in essentially two larger or overarching parts. The first is a doctoral-level dissertation about … us, about our nature – our social and political inclinations and interactions as humans – the good, the bad, the, yes, ugly, and the plainly mysterious. The reader will recall some of what has been forgotten while learning entirely new subjects and terminology. Then there comes what this reviewer calls it a transitioning, though it is seamlessly integrated throughout the entire text, a transition from ancient, medieval, and pre-contemporary history, to the present, with a full recounting (and it’s hard to think of something Hulsey left out; how so much was packed into a relatively short book is a riddle!) of the exact methods and episodes that transformed the Founders’ America into what it has become today. Many misconceptions are gently if keenly corrected along the way.

The second great part is an actionable blueprint for a grand, proud, and peaceful new nation, The Republic of Texas. One should please hold any preconceived objections until after one has read through the legally, morally, historically, and mathematically-justified proposals. A new nation formed of ancient wisdom and structure. Grab a hat; the reader is going to Venice! Though the matter is well explained, sua sponte, the interesting title refers to the formation of something other than the kind of “modern” nation-state gifted to the West by the (un)Enlightenment. The plan is to avoid the traps that have rendered many or most modern and post-modern countries archetypal factories of oppression, dissension, chaos, and dystopia. More misconceptions are put to rest, including so many misdirected “-isms” and “-cracies”. It will all make sense upon a full reading – and then some. Perhaps best of all, should one wish to substitute another state or area for “Texas,” then one will find a system that, while perhaps not universally perfect, will provide the starter seeds for a strategy that many, many good and proud peoples will find beneficial. A marvel.

Hulsey also deploys a writing style that is both professorial and deeply affectionate. And, furthermore, attention-getting. There is a palpable sense of both a honed fire and a learned kindness in his words. Those, all of them, one would do well to begin reading now. This is a rare and masterful work. Bravo!

Bravo, indeed. Change is not coming. It is here. Regarding the term “secession”, like it or not, we may well have it forced on us. Thus, it would pay to be prepared in advance. In parting, Hulsey’s work is like a socio-political tree, a mighty oak: The copious philosophical and historical basis acts as the root system; the structure of the new state as the sturdy wood stuff above ground, and; the be-greened and flowered towering majesty? That is up to us, up to you, dear reader. Read The Constitution of Non-State Government: Field Guide to Texas Secession, green up, and flower into the future!

Ew! What The Heck? Schools Are So Gross

 

In a world gone mad, meeting those who share one’s ideas about society and civilization is a welcomed relief. I’m getting into Terry Hulsey’s distinguished and exemplary new book, The Constitution of Non-State Government: Field Guide to Texas Secession, Shotwell (2022), and I heartily recommend it as to the title matter and many other topics. I’m delighted he takes a view of public education similar to my own.

School and state must be separated, just as church and state are separated, and for the same reasons. Every family’s spiritual values are projected into the future by means of the education of its children. The results of foolishly entrusting to state officials so important a task as schooling are now manifest. All across the country kindergarteners and elementary school children are now being subjected to “transgender story hour,” to instruction in “gender fluidity,” to denial of biology, and even instruction in how to masturbate. At the secondary level, boys’ restrooms in Oregon must now by force of law supply free feminine hygiene products; and at the university level, students are taught that pederasty is not a mental disease. The state cannot even provide the most basic assurance of physical safety to students.

      • Hulsey, The Constitution…, at p. 218, Kindle p. 360.

Systemic schools certainly do not provide basic safety to their charges. Rather, they were designed to provide the opposite – the destruction of mind, soul, family, and civil stability. My friend makes a strong statement about the concurrence of legitimate state sovereignty and parental dominion over what, at the beginning and end of the day, is a sacred matter:

There can be no independent Texas without the independence of parents to fully direct the private schooling of their own children.

      • Id, at 220, 364.

Hint: this is applicable within and without the Lone Star Republic. The schools were instituted in the Nineteenth Century for the tandem purposes of training cheap factory labor and eradicating Christian Western Civilization. With those objectives largely accomplished, the schemers shifted their focus to social engineering and indoctrination. Now they have shifted into a final, terminal phase, with schools becoming little more than Moloch worship centers where children are offered as sacrifices. An older Book offers proper wisdom for dealing with such atrocity:

But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.

      • Matthew 18:6

Hello. It’s another column about schools and education, approximately number 430 if you’re keeping score. First, a “shout out” to one reader, Dixie Belle 47, who appears to have excellent tastes. I must warn you, gentle reader, this one is about to get plain disgusting. It’s a tale of Readin’, Ritin’, and Raunch, courtesy of a public Moloch temple in Washington State. (I issue a strong advisory regarding the video and pictures at that link).

A middle school principal is facing discipline for an inappropriate, “sexualized” licking game between students and staff.

Before students left for spring break, Desert Hills Middle School in Kennewick hosted an assembly and fundraiser that featured a competition between students and staff. Two plexiglass panes were stationed in the middle of the gymnasium and each side of the glass had four spots of marshmallow cream. Students and staff then competed to lick it off the plexiglass, often with adult educators and their minor students licking their respective sides of the glass at once. Students in the crowd could be heard screaming, “ew,” “disgusting,” “that’s so gross,” and “what the heck?” One student yelled, “who thought that this was a good idea?”

Who, one student? Faggots and idiots, one supposes. Then again, Dr. Traci Pierce, Kennewick School District Superintendent, and potential High Priestess asserted, “There is zero evidence to suggest or support that this was in any way ‘grooming’ activity on the part of organizers or participants.” Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck… It’s a cat! Your lying eyes. Please ignore the pictures, video, and victim statements to the contrary. It’s not supposed to be that way, you see. According to the district’s website, its mission “is to provide a safe environment in which every student reaches his or her highest potential and is well prepared for success in secondary school education.” Really, what safer or higher potential is there than playing tonsil hockey with the staff? 

Yes, I’m sure your child’s school is totally different. And we’re just dealing with allegations and suspicions. And evidence bordering on proof. But, seeing as how there is “zero evidence” of malfeasance, one could guess this episode was the result of a simple, silly lapse of judgment. One could also guess that Pol Pot was a kind-hearted and well-meaning man whose exuberance got the better of him. 

Desert Hills Middle is the “Home of the Hawks!” If I remember correctly, hawks are birds of prey that swoop down and snare small unwary critters. Kind of the way pedophiles snare and groom kids. Zero evidence. All conjecture on my part. Do ignore the pictures, video, and victim statements.

Instead, to get a better idea of how Desert Hills raises that potential in a safe environment, consult the school’s Student Handbook, “Sexual Harassment”, p. 20:

SEXUAL HARASSMENT

Students and staff are protected against sexual harassment by anyone in any school program or activity, including on the school campus, on the school bus, or off-campus during a school-sponsored activity.

Sexual harassment is unwelcome behavior or communication that is sexual in nature when:

    • A student or employee is led to believe that he or she must submit to unwelcome sexual conduct or communications in order to gain something in return, such as a grade, a promotion, a place on a sports team, or any educational or employment decision, or
    • The conduct substantially interferes with a student’s educational performance or creates an intimidating or hostile educational or employment environment.

Examples of Sexual Harassment:

    • Pressuring a person for sexual favors
    • Unwelcome touching of a sexual nature
    • Writing graffiti of a sexual nature
    • Distributing sexually explicit texts, e-mails, or pictures
    • Making sexual jokes, rumors, or suggestive remarks
    • Physical violence, including rape and sexual assault

You can report sexual harassment to any school staff member or to the district’s Title IX Officer, who is listed above. You also have the right to file a complaint (see below). For a copy of your district’s sexual harassment policy and procedure, contact your school or district office, or view it online here: Policy: 3206 R3206.

Kids, you might not get far reporting harassment to school staff if the staffers are the ones doing the harassment. Might young students reasonably believe they have to submit to unwelcome conduct, like, say, licking teachers or what have you, in order to gain something? And might this interfere with their educational performance while creating a hostile environment? Might a touching of the tongues, even through thin plexiglass, constitute an unwanted sexual scenario? Would a random eighth-grade boy who did something similar with a girl, the way boys and girls did back in another age, run afoul of this policy? These are questions competent police officers and district attorneys would be asking if America was still governed by laws, common sense, or common decency. 

Note: The district’s policy links route to a cool “404” error. I’m sure they’re not trying to hide anything. Again, zero evidence. Pol Pot = nice fellow. Etc. And maybe this wasn’t harassment. Maybe it was instruction! If it’s still up, one can watch the district’s Comprehensive Sexual Health Education Parent Preview Night video on EW(!)-tube. Learn all about how S.B. 5395 (2020) requires all 4th through 12th graders in Washington to be indoctrinated in all matters regarding sexual health – all matters, like, let’s imagine for a second, minors playing old-fashioned plexiglass spit-swap with adults. No grooming whatsoever.

One wonders when the joys of grooming, er, health “education” will become available to the tiny K-3 kids. And there really is no lower age limit for this kind of rank evil. Powerful forces far beyond the American Northwest are hard at work on satan’s behalf. Just in time for this story, the International Commission of (Homosexual) Jurists, an affiliate of the (Homosexual) United Nations, released their 8 March Principles for Sodomy and Child Sacrifice. If one has recovered from vomiting over the above-linked video, then one might enjoy an encore by reading the report. Read things like the following, at the end of Principle 14, pp. 21-22 (just above Principle 15, Abortion):

Parents, guardians, carers, or other persons who enable or assist children or people in their care, including persons with disabilities, to exercise their sexual and reproductive rights, including by procuring sexual and reproductive health services, goods or information, may not be held criminally liable, unless they have engaged in coercion, force, fraud, or there was a lack of free and informed decision-making on the part of the child or person for whom they were caring.

Wait, there’s more. From Principle 16, pp. 22-23:

With respect to the enforcement of criminal law, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. Enforcement may not be linked to the sex/gender of participants or age of consent to marriage.

Moreover, sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law. In this context, the enforcement of criminal law should reflect the rights and capacity of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them. Pursuant to their evolving capacities and progressive autonomy, persons under 18 years of age should participate in decisions affecting them, with due regard to their age, maturity and best interests, and with specific attention to non-discrimination guarantees.

All that is more than a word salad. Still, some of the words have meaning. “May be consensual in fact”. “Evolving capacities”. “Progressive autonomy”. These are not coded messages; they are overtly explaining what they’re up to. Child molestation and, ultimately, sacrifice, are the plan. It’s a policy at the international, national, state, district, and school levels. Only a maniac would force his child to participate in any such openly luciferian program. In other words… HOMESCHOOL! And, considering that degeneracy has become the norm in post-Christian ‘Murica, one might reasonably want to separate from all popular culture to the greatest extent possible or practical. In many cases, one need not wait for one’s state to secede from the pack or for the pack to fall completely apart; one can just personally, or in the familial sense, break from the madness.

Those in Washington, or other states within and without Texas, might benefit from some of the ideas Terry presents in his Secession book. And for more examples of the retarded, retarding, lecherous, and ruinous nature of the schools, with a workable alternative, please buy a copy or ten of THE SUBSTITUTE.

The Right Direction(s)

 

What a whirlwind! Due to circumstances, this one will be a little shorter than usual. I have just physically returned from my first venture away from the swamp in about 1,000 years. As a pseudo-hermit and curmudgeon I fancy not liking public interaction. Ironically, once out and about the old Possum generally has the best time. Maybe a little too good. Maybe. 

I’d like to publicly thank Don Livingston, Brion McClanahan, and the whole gang at the Abbeville Institute for an incredible gathering. Happy 20th anniversary! This will all take a second to digest, but it has left me with great optimism. 

Along with some recent reading, the entire confab imparted the overall sense that things like Southern nationalism, Christianity, realism, and sanity are still in vogue. None of us can predict where this decade goes with complete accuracy, but I do believe we might be on the right road. I’ll try to elaborate a little more as I readjust to normalcy. There are still some issues to work out or through. Our people, in general, have some decent perspectives about what’s what and where things are headed. We’ll get there. In. Due. Time.

It was amazing to meet some younger people who are awake rather than “woke”. Some great questions were asked, and some substantial answers given. You younger men keep powering through. Us oldsters will do whatever we can to help make your future work!

One may look around the Institute’s previous lectures and more HERE. I don’t think the 2023 rounds are up yet so please check back frequently.

How refreshing it was to take a short break from the usual news-unworthy madness. Any exciting new hoaxes and idiocies while I was away? To stoke a half-rant, I’ll pick just one to look at. 

Let’s see…

Here we go! Churchians Cuck on Tranny Gun Control! In the wake of the lgbtP attack on Christians last month, Brent Leatherbrain of the SBC’s ERLC (LMAO, GTFO!), is echoing Tennessee Governor Shill Lee’s (R-Israel) call for gun control. They might be using different words, but that’s what it amounts to. Tennessee has existed for 226 years. The State’s good people have been armed the whole time. The spectacle of queers murdering Christian children is relatively new, as new as the phenomenon of TN lieutenant governors named Randy (R-Israel) leaving randy comments of homo twerking social media pics. [LITERALLY writes itself, thanks]. So, of course, the sensible thing to do is ban guns. One suspects the retards in the legislature will do something moronic, especially the GOPers.

***IMPORTANT REMINDER!!!*** We have to VoAt rEpUbLiCaN or else the demoncrats will give us gun control, queer child-killers, and lustful comments of sodomite tik-tokiness.

Advice? Millstones. Millstones everywhere. And, for the love of children, homeschool.

Now, a few more items:

Dr. Ironsides is going to China! 你好,新读者和朋友。 如果书中的任何东西都是合法的帮助,那么我很高兴提供我所能提供的东西。 而且,如果老男孩足够有趣,那么如果需要的话,我们会翻译十亿份。 请准备好那些元。

Lynne and other fans (can’t believe I have those), thank you! You do realize there was a literal movie star standing just a few feet away, right? 

Cousins, it’s always a good time to gather.

MB, great to see you, man! When you stepped away for a second, I informed the crowd how lucky they were/are. (I also appropriated a cup of coffee).

Paul, please pardon the lack of biscuits and the … “stir”.

This one is much shorter than normal, yes. All I got, kids. In the coming weeks and months, I have some great books to review. And, we’re gonna have fiction, fiction, and more fiction. Stay tuned. God bless. And, 

Deo vindice!

Aurelius, The Substitute, Tom Ironsides

A Hypnotic Whomp-Whomping Over Paris

 

Greetings, beloved readers. Being pressed for time, I had to improvise this week. Luckily for you, that means a little fiction! But first, read this book: Running on Empty: How the Imminent Collapse of the Petrodollar System Sets the Stage for World War III, by Alexander Macris (2023). It’s very short but rather important. Many of the predictions from December and January have already come to pass. Things are heating up. Ultimately, all of this will be good for any Americans who survive getting to “ultimately”.

And now, a preview of another little book:

Spring 2017: France has suffered great violence and political turmoil. Everything is shrouded in deception, death, and danger, but rest assured, Dr. Ironsides is on the case. Our “better than Bond” story is a hard, fast, all-action, first-person(!) thriller set in Paris one year before the beginning of THE SUBSTITUTE. What follows is from one draft or another and is, of course, subject to change. Enjoy.

~ a short segment from ~

AURELIUS

(a forthcoming Tom Ironsides novella)

I heard the chopper, of course, a noticeable part of the background noise on a night of continuing excitement. Slowly wandering down the street – I won’t call it staggering – I checked my shoulder again. It was a clean wound and small. I couldn’t even rest my pinky in the gash. That was happy news as far as I was concerned: a few stitches and I’d be fine. I was catching my breath and I then suddenly became aware I was probably wandering the wrong way. So it was that I had just decided to check the next street sign I came upon and walk back towards Foch. Then I looked up. 

It was only a block away or less, hovering maybe fifty feet above the rooftops. Even in the dark, I could see it was blue and white, a newer Eurocopter model. She turned slightly to one side, and I read ‘Gendarmerie’ printed on the side just above the skid. The rear door might have been, probably was open, slid back. Figures were moving inside though I really couldn’t see what they were doing nor, beyond being cops, who, exactly, they were. As I listened to the loud, nearly hypnotic whomp-whomping, half of my brain suggested waving. What better way, I thought, to get in touch with Jacques? The other half, however, maybe the half with the experience or the intuition, suddenly if silently objected. I had no time for internal debate. In an instant, the spotlight hit me. I didn’t feel like it, but I immediately launched the full sprint again, running by the absolute Grace of God. 

Speeding across an intersection, racing towards the opposite corner and relative, temporary safety, I felt the shrapnel hit. Bits of lead or other metal fragments and little chunks of asphalt were driven into my legs and back. Even in the heat of things, I could tell it probably wasn’t bad, maybe not even breaking the skin and certainly not leaving any long-term damage. But the accompanying sound told me it was a SAW or another light machine gun of some kind, not the thing one wants to feel the full experience of. Around the corner, I hugged the inside of the sidewalk, trying to use the wall to my right as a partial shield. The shots stopped but I could hear the whomping louder than before and, just barely, I caught the note of the turbines revving up. The glare of the spotlight returned. She was on me! 

After only perhaps a block, the gunner opened up again. All around me, though thankfully just behind, a cacophony of breaking glass, snapping brick and concrete, and exploding rounds broke out. I darted down the first turn I came to. I felt for it but did not draw my pistol. I’ve been the guy in the air doing the shooting. Against such an opponent, there’s not much a man on the ground can do with a sidearm in the dark. Then I was in another alley, still running hard and fast. The light flickered on and off as I ran and the sound moved in and out, surrounding and then passing me. I knew she was getting ahead. So mid-run, I turned hard. In a moment, I was back on the first street, heading in my original direction. Knowing they’d figure out the move, I took the next right I came to. 

In this manner, I zigged and zagged, slowly – all too slowly – making my way in a southerly direction. At some point, I crossed Foch. Glancing to my right, I noticed many flashing lights. I wondered where Jacques was and if he was still watching my bow-tie show. At any rate, I had no time to correct my course, with the gunner suddenly right behind me once again. More bullets kept me moving fast. After what seemed like an hour, or a day, I arrived at Trocadero Gardens. Unfortunately, I ran in from the side and was unable to obtain the cover of the museums. My plan, if I had one, was to make for the carousel and take up a shooting position. I was wondering if any officers had seen me running and how anyone could miss all the gunfire. A little optimism almost started building in my head. However, just past the central pool, in sight of the Pont d’Lena, they had me. 

A van rolled off of New York straight onto the grass. I halted and faced off with half a dozen men, each aiming a rifle at me. The Eurocopter was now just behind, hovering and illuminating me. I figured I was covered and would be mowed down if I resisted. So, I slowly raised my hands. Several of my terrestrial assailants moved in. They were strangely attired but were given away by their uncovered faces. It was obvious that I had encountered Middle Eastern terrorists making a low-effort attempt to kind of, sort of look like cops. But while their appearance was almost comical, their guns did command respect. One of them roughly patted me down and relieved me of the burden of my gun. Passing it off to a comrade, he spoke, angrily if haughtily: ‘Doctor Ironsides! Steinmeier said we could expect you. Please join us for a ride.’ 

I asked, ‘Nicholas? Is he going to join us? Maybe show off the Foundation’s real work in all these happy events?’ 

The answer was a little cold, and it came with a hard blow to my head: ‘No, mon ami. He’s busy setting up a new government for a new nation, but he asked us to give you a tour. If you don’t mind now, let’s go!’ 

We walked slowly towards the van, while I still actively gasped from the run and while my mind raced. Six of them, and they appeared serious, were a little much, at least in my present condition. For the life of me, I was out of plans. Fortunately, someone else was not. 

The helo was lazily drifting away and to the south. The spotlight turned off as it passed over New York. I was watching it uneasily while we walked, so I saw the whole thing. It happened, all of it, so very fast as to make accurate recounting somewhat speculative. First, in my mind’s eye, there was the explosion. Then, as the burning wreck fell into the Seine, I noticed the trail in the air. ‘Why didn’t I pack an R-P-G?’ I think I actually laughed openly. The other men didn’t find the episode funny. Alarmed rather, they ran several steps forward toward the van. I could have made a dash for it, but I (we, rather) were interrupted again. I only noticed the other van when it careened onto the sidewalk and ran over four or five of my captors, scattering the rest. The driver fired a submachine gun into the cab of the first van and then called to me in French: ‘Docteur Tom! Entrer!’ I did so almost immediately. But first, I had just the presence of mind to snatch my gun back from one of the last men standing. For bailment, I shot him in the temple. I wasn’t even seated, my door still ajar, when the heroic driver hit the gas, launching us into the traffic on New York. A couple of stray rounds hit the van as we rocketed away. He handed me his MP-5, saying, ‘Prends le! Pour toute poursuite. – Take it! For any pursuit.’ 

I looked down at the gun before I looked over at him. But, when I did, I knew him! He was a Godsend and I told him so: ‘Pauly! You’re a Godsend! How’d you know?’ 

‘My scanner. It’s normally how I keep the business one step ahead of the … you know. And I wasn’t going to let them get away with my favorite old customer.’ 

‘When did you get into the heavier stuff?’ 

‘About the time your old supplier, the other American, Becker? When he left town. Have a hard time moving the stuff. I don’t sell to them – the new French nor Steinmeier’s kind.’ 

‘Well, I’m glad to see you again. Thank you, brother!’ I said with joy. 

‘Don’t mention it. Now, where am I taking you?’ 

I had him route over to Foch. There, at an intersection, Jacques waved us down. He was expecting us, pinging both our phones as it turned out. For a second, I was worried about Pauly. 

‘He just happened to be in the area,’ I said. ‘I saw him and jumped—’ 

Jacques didn’t require an excuse. ‘Save it. He works for us some of the time.’ 

‘Who doesn’t?’ I asked. 

Pauly drove away and I started quizzing Jacques about, well, from my perspective, revenge. He had other ideas, insisting that I visit a hospital. We arrived at the closest ER under a heavy escort. While a young, attractive lady doctor cleaned my shoulder and prodded my backside, I renewed the interrogation or debriefing. ‘You must have everything you need,’ I said. ‘If nothing else, the button-vision footage should suffice. They even implicated Steinmeier back in the park. When do we—’ 

‘Yes, that and more. But there is no we. It’s time for you to resume retirement and maybe think about returning to Slovakia. Like tonight,’ he said somewhat firmly. 

‘That, my friend, isn’t in the cards,’ I said defiantly. 

‘It is. And it’s all of them. The whole deck! I will, for old times’ sake, give you a little more information. We’ll go to a field office before you leave – and it is time you leave, you damned trouble-making Yankee. I’ll answer a few questions in exchange for a few answers from you, and for your promise to stop shooting people and blowing things up!’ 

Within an hour of leaving the hospital, we were at a field office, which looked a lot like a good neighborhood pub. We entered a private office in the back, me sipping Scotch, and they pulled up a monitor. It was then after midnight.

How was that? Great. Make some room on the old credit card!

A Day Of Vengeance: Observations on Nashville

 

Padraig Martin has a new book out, a collection of Southern dissident essays, The Honorable Cause. I’ve read it and it’s a great first step toward righting the Dixie mindset for the rapidly approaching future. In it, I found some words I wish I had written:

In short, Americanism can best be described as a 24/7 commercial starring crossdresser RuPaul as he twerks and pitches the benefits of a predatory reverse home mortgage to obese diabetics and simpletons.

      • Rick Dirtwater, Americanism: Death of the South, The Honorable Cause, p. 186 (2023).

Sodomy, usury, retardation, and obesity – our cherished ‘Murican values! It really is just about that ridiculous. And it’s going to get worse.

I drafted an entirely different column, which will wait for later. As the mass homicide at the Covenant School has been memory-holed by the MSM for obvious reasons, I thought we’d take a brief look at it. Though their casus belli is specious at best, the queers openly advertised they wanted vengeance. It looks like they got it. One wonders when, if ever, will we get ours. Some bullet-pointed observations:

  • ‘Murica’s fake president proudly proclaimed, just a few days ago, “Transgender Americans shape our nation’s soul”. “Joe Biden” might be an actor, a robot, or a computer program, but he’s not wrong about the anti-soul of the dead empire.
  • The shape of the empire’s soul looks something like a statue of Moloch. The transvestites, et al, may be cursed with substantial mental illness. However, as evidenced by their weaponization, they are also imbued with demonic evil. In Nashville, they did what they’ve always done – prey on children and any adults getting in the way.
  • As usual, with the Covenant shooting, all we have are the reports of the government and the media, a combined entity every bit as schizophrenic as an average transvestite. A grain of salt, or the whole bag. 
  • Assuming any part of the given narrative is accurate, we have another wind-up toy, a she-he-it freak, loosed upon Christian children. You’ve no doubt read the story. I assume it was mentally deranged, under the influence of narcotics, and probably directed by something along the lines of an lgbtP-ized MK-Ultra.  
  • Police Chief Drake claims the freak left a manifesto. The queers don’t want it ever released, so we can guess what it says. They’ve been ranting away obscenely about killing Christians. They and their satanic masters appear to be serious. As usual, some of those masters, or the agents thereof in the form of US media Jews, took to social media to make fun of our tragedy. It speaks volumes that the Taliban stepped in with words of aid and comfort. Thank you, Muslim brothers and sisters!
  • There’s no doubt the actions of the freak were wicked. But was it? We are assured: “When it goeth well with the just the city shall rejoice: and when the wicked perish there shall be praise.” Proverbs 11:10. The killer perished. Do we sing praise when it goeth not so well in the city?
  • The faux vengeance of the wicked is self-defeating. “For it is not the power of them, by whom they swear, but the just vengeance of sinners always punisheth the transgression of the unjust.”  Wisdom 14:31. That’s another way of saying, as King Theoden did, “Oft evil will shall evil mar.” Given the context of verses 26 through 30, it’s an all-the-more-fitting message in this case. Still, the punishment came at a terrible price for the innocent.
  • Vengeance is a heck of a concept. As is the notion of return or counter–vengeance.  Ultimately, it belongeth to the Lord. Hebrews 10:30. As to righteous vengeance, the Lord may allow or even direct His people to seek retribution. See Ezekiel 25:14.
  • In a purely hypothetical and fictitious context, if Southern Christians had any kind of modern military capability – which we certainly do not – then it would be interesting if the Lord gave us a perfect venue and time for striking back against some of the absolute worst of our enemies. It’s a moot point, really. But there are lessons to be learned from this pathetic episode.
  • Gun control in the USSA is a dead letter. Even the dullest Boomer normie understands that domestic disarmament is but a prelude to subjugation. And it is patently obvious that the other side has heartily embraced weaponry. Unlike the normies, the wicked are more than able to actually use their guns. And, again, I point out that weapons confiscation is a two-way street. That too is a moot point at the moment; once the war gets worse – and it will – the concept will become clearer.
  • Get out of the cities! Metro Nashville is home to more than 2 million people. In Davidson County and the surrounding areas, there has been sufficient demographic “diffusion” over the past fifty years to make for very vibrant, and, thus, horrifying circumstances. Simply put, predators go where the prey is. Urban areas are target-rich environments, which is only advantageous if you’re the one doing the targeting.
  • Homeschool or literally die. I suspect that fewer than 1% of US public schools and perhaps 10% of private academies deserve to exist. While I do not doubt that the Covenant school stands head and shoulders above the government-controlled competition, multiples of zero are still zero. I did a brief check and found no indication that Latin (or Greek, or Hebrew) is taught at Covenant. Even if the school does offer some semblance of the Trivium, it is still no substitute for Christian parents properly instructing their children at home. Also, consider the last time one ever heard of a school shooting at a homeschool.
  • Expect much more of this and worse. There are only a very few somewhat-interrelated future probabilities for the USSA, Dixie included. None of them look too pleasant. Pax Americana is over. Plan accordingly.
  • Regarding our plans for ourselves, a few parting words from Confucius: “Those whose courses are different cannot lay plans for one another.” Our courses are entirely different. We literally cannot live with these people.

Next week, I’ll probably drop a little preview of AURELIUS. For now, for an Ironsides fix, if one wants a picture of what the schools are really like these days, and if one likes seeing righteous vengeance visited upon the wicked, then consider reading THE SUBSTITUTE.

Proximité Périlleuse Pauvreté

 

My title roughly translates into “Poverty’s Perilous Proximity”, minus a “de” and “la” or two. I had to de-grammarize as we must always avoid alliteration! 

While I would dearly love to keep discussing the in-progress collapse of the Clown World economy, as it technically relates to Americans, my head hurts and the zero button on my calculator broke. However, I do fancy people who still want to exist. Ergo, as sometimes happens, we have a slightly different take on affairs. Une prise Française, with brief layovers in Ireland and China.

For several reasons, I lately drifted from my usual somber reading and picked up a copy of Mary Morrissy’s excellent collection of short stories, Prosperity Drive. While all her words stand out in a striking, yet poetic fashion, I found specific inspiration in these, in her fourth story, Gracefully, Not Too Fast:

Poverty was something to be feared: not for what the poor in their rage might do to you but for its perilous proximity. As if it might be infectious.

– Mary Morrissy, Prosperity Drive, Random House, (Kindle Ed.) P. 38 (2017).

The story walks the line, excitedly and sadly, self-ware and aloof, through a maze of music, illiteracy, and, as one might expect, social standing and destitution. The book is certainly worth one’s effort, so consider purchasing a copy. The above quote reminded me of a question posed by the wonderful Jessamine Lee the other day: “So I’m not rich.  So what?” It also reminded me of something a little older: of the wisdom in a passage of the Analects of Confucius:

When a country is well-governed, poverty and a mean condition are things to be ashamed of. When a country is ill-governed, riches and honour are things to be ashamed of.

So what, indeed, Ms. Lee? What does it all mean? On and around Prosperity Drive, poor little Bridget could not help her pecuniary circumstances. Her life and times were set in the post-WWII era, a transitory time for Ireland and the West. Much like her, so many of us cannot exactly control our circumstances. The Master constantly differentiated between the virtues of the superior man and the shortcomings of the mean man. He juxtaposed these two archetypes across various political cultures both desirous and baneful. The superior man should always stand upright, stoically, regardless of prevailing conditions. The mean man does not and cannot do so. Yet Confucius’s words used herein pertain to the general conditions of the populace.

In a noble country, graced with a fitting government, history shows a tendency toward merit, equity, and prosperity. In such a happy society, most people attain a relative position of self-sufficiency if not what might be regarded as economic wealth. And while there are exceptions – childhood travails, personal calamity, or obliging vows of poverty – under such tranquil circumstances, a lowly and crude status is generally thought to be indicative of poor character – of inelegance and sloth. Such is somewhat the spirit of the cautious admonishment from Saint Paul in II Thessalonians 3:10 (also attributed, later, to John Smith at Jamestown): “we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat.” In the original verse, “you” refers, twice before and once after, to [our] Christian Brethren. Hence, the assumption is an addressed society well-governed, spiritually if not politically or economically.

However, in a fallen state, cursed with a foul government, the opposite is generally true, as to honor and lament. While there must be some exceptions, in a lower(ed) society, those who have great abundance, or who are lauded popularly, are generally among the worst kinds of men – the “ticket-takers” of popular parlance. They are only thought wealthy and exemplary because they conform to the wickedness of the ruling status quo. In reality, their riches and their honor are false. One recalls a certain poor Carpenter turned Street Preacher and His angry rejection of the silver coin of the wealthy, well-connected, and presumably “honorable” elites of His day.

What remains of much of the faltering West is the dictionary definition of “ill-governed”. Not quite everything political, cultural, and economic is fake. Note that under such conditions, poverty and crudeness do not necessarily become proper; rather, it is that outwardly benefiting from the false, rigged system becomes the more shameful condition. You’re not “rich”? Good, it’s better that way.

France was recently a relatively stable country. It remains so, though something is obviously afoot. While French “socialism” was somewhat misunderstood by many Americans, it worked well enough for enough of the French people. The secularization of Catholic France is another matter. But, economically, in return for higher marginal tax rates (marginal, because other factors greatly equalized the overall burden felt by, say, Americans), the French did, in fact, receive various benefits such as general peace, excellent transportation, good schools, quality healthcare, functioning courts, long vacations, and early retirement. In short, the people paying for the services received the benefit of the services. Critically, the French ruled France. 

Then, something(s) changed.

One might not know it by watching what passes for news in the US, but for about five years, the French have been daily rioting in the streets. The gilets jaunes, mostly middle-aged, middle-class, ordinary French, not-so-quietly rebelled over several observable changes to their great nation. From the outside, France appears to be in a phase of transition, further along than the general West of the mid-20th century. In some ways, many ways, it is about where the US was around 1980, and, like the US in 1980, the picture is changing quickly. The recent pension reforms, carried out in the usual Clown World “democratic” fashion, without a proper vote, sparked a new, higher level of rebellion, something perilously bordering on civil war. The evil globalist elites who control the French government have postponed the age of retirement to free up more money for a growing cadre of schemes. The French are now being forced to pay for their altered destiny. And they know it. Transitioning into nefarious governance, the infectious specter of poverty knocks at the door. The people see that their limited future holds less in the way of riches and honor. 

They are responding accordingly and properly. They’re burning it down! Taking a page from the Sri Lankan and Lebanese playbooks, they’ve started torching the homes of the wicked politicians who dared to disrupt the accepted order of things. Millions of men and women are blocking streets and fighting for their collective way of life. Farmers are dumping manure and garbage at government offices. The people are setting fire to police stations. Some speak of making the guillotine great again. Some mention Macron by name. State visits are postponed. The heat, as they say, is on.

If this was happening in places like Russia, Iran, or Minneapolis, then the gekaufte journalisten would be singing the praises of these mostly peaceful protesters attempting to overcome oppression. As-is, the militarized police are in the streets beating and gassing their countrymen. But cracks are forming. Here and there, unionized civil employees, firefighters, and police officers are joining the protests. We are also reminded of the Generals’ Letter and the Soldiers’ Letter, penned barely two years ago. Previously, the military warned the idiot politicians that domestic unrest was imminent if something wasn’t given. Nothing was given, and now the letters look prophetic. And if a war of some kind is inevitable, it might make sense to get it over with sooner than later. 

This should have been foreseen as it is literally in the lyrics of “La Marseillaise”:

Allons enfants de la patrie,

Le jour de gloire est arrivé!

Contre nous de la tyrannie

L’étendard sanglant est levé! (bis)

Entendez-vous dans les campagnes,

Mugir ces féroces soldats?

Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras

Égorger nos fils, nos compagnes!

Aux armes, citoyens!

Formez vos bataillons!

Marchons ! Marchons!

Qu’un sang impur

Abreuve nos sillons!

In English:

Let’s go children of the fatherland,

The day of glory has arrived!

Against us tyranny’s

Bloody flag is raised! (2x)

In the countryside, do you hear

The roaring of these fierce soldiers?

They come right to our arms

To slit the throats of our sons, our friends!

To arms, citizens!

Form your battalions!

Let us march! Let us march!

May impure blood

Water our fields!

Last year, they endured a bit of a drought, so the fields are thirsty. Here’s the anthem, as sung magnificently in 1989 by the irrepressible Mireille Mathieu:

Mathieu, a staunch Catholic, might personally prefer the tone of the alternative Royalist version (Allons armée Catholique!). I would like to say that I do; however, that edition was essentially a parody of the Freemasonic original. It needs work, honestly. And, given the times and the elitist luciferian enemy occupying Paris, the lyrics of the standard anthem work well, regardless of parentage. Indeed, it is most fitting to hurl the words back at the Enlightenment mongers who have created the current existential crisis! Let the usurpers fear what the legitimate people do in their rage.

Given the continued fiery resistance of the proud French, and the futility of Clown World analytics, I have a grand idea!
