≈ Comments Off on With Dignity and Respect
Those words, or some combination of them, I’ve noticed them a lot lately. For instance, Creepy Joe just allowed trannies into the crumbling USSA military. Luciferians, other degenerates, and the mentally ill are well pleased. Perhaps the last Christian Chaplain in the Army is not. He, of course, is right in what he said, and he’ll probably get kicked out of the Imperial Army for it. That’s good for him; the whole show is coming apart and decent people should no longer participate. As expected, from the usual suspects, he caught considerable grief. That’s where the quote surfaced again.
Following the outcry, the Security Force Assistant Command released a statement on their Facebook page saying that they were investigating the incident.
The statement reads: ‘Always remember to ‘Think, Type, Post’ when it comes to engaging in conversation on social media platforms. We are soldiers 24/7 and that means always treating people with dignity and respect.
Yes, odd words from an organization that slaughters women and children for money. Or, is it dignity and respect to murder them? Truth be told, the application of these words is a relative matter. Good people indeed deserve the treatment that most good people associate with dignity and respect. The wicked do not unless the dignity they get is of a different kind – like that Paul talked about when he suggested that getting rid of the wicked was better for everyone, the wicked included. Somehow I doubt that’s what the Army Rainbow Command has in mind. In fact, I imagine the concept would be lost on most who utter some variance of these words.
Somewhere, I read this same phraseology. And I heard it in person not long ago. I looked briefly and found a few more examples from different sources. Then, I got tired of looking. How much dignity and respect is due a usurer? Or an outright murderer? A child molester? If rope and fire are forms of dignity and respect, then all’s well. Again, I suppose this reasoning would escape many and even horrify some these days.
I’m not making a definitive statement, but there’s just something new, fresh, and wrong sounding about this universal concept. I found a pastor somewhere who quoted Christ from John 15:12: “This is my commandment that you love one another as I have loved you.” The pastor did not clarify who “one another” encompasses nor the nature of how “I have loved you.” This beautiful admonishment, read in pari materia with the rest of the Bible, may not be a plain and simple as some make it out to be. There again, full examinations upend quick talking points.
I could be wrong, but there’s just a churchian feeling to it. The proof of such is in the way it was hurled back against the wisdom of an actual practicing Christian. That man, the Army Chaplain, does deserve dignity and respect.

≈ Comments Off on Davosians Reimagine Education…
The schools, when they’re not using dead instructors, are otherwise dead in terms of educational value. Christopher Paslay just released a great article on the war on Whites in US child abuse factories.
Hours after being sworn in as America’s 46th president, Joe Biden reversed Trump’s ban on using toxic Critical Race Theory in federal government diversity trainings. Doing so has reopened the floodgates for allowing anti-American identity politics in our public institutions and schools.
Corwin Press, an academic publisher that supplies books for K–12 schools, has taken advantage of Biden’s new agenda by releasing a series of free teacher resources titled “Responding to Insurrection, Domestic Terrorism, and Threats to Democracy.”
A quick look at these so-called teacher resources, which are linked at the top of Corwin’s webpage, reveals that they are disturbingly political and agenda-driven, with a clear objective to teach children what to think and not how to think. In short, these resources fail to allow students to critically analyze current events in an accurate and balanced context. They do not offer a classic pro and con format, but are presented from a one-sided lens that makes a complex situation simplistic.
In particular, they push polarizing identity politics, based in Critical Race Theory, on children in K–12 schools.
Down with the KKK-12 schools!
Some of our elite betters have noticed that worldwide, evil White supremacist children are only a small fraction of the total potential abuse and terror victims. Thus, the luciferians of the World Economic Forum are getting a plan together to “help” everyone.
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, 188 countries closed their schools, affecting 1.54 billion students. These disruptions provide an opportunity to reset the skills that need to be prioritized in primary and secondary education and beyond.
From global citizenship to digital skills, what policies, practices and partnerships are needed to move future-ready employability skills higher up the education agenda?
This session is associated with the following projects and initiatives of the World Economic Forum: Education 4.0, the Global Future Council on the New Agenda for Education and Skills, and the Global University Leaders Forum.
The first part of this session is open to the public online; the second is only accessible via TopLink.
They give us the Great Reset! (Any mention of a “great reset” is a conspiracy theory). Learning and general knowledge is out, employability skills are in! You may watch the public show, the real action takes place behind closed digital doors.

≈ Comments Off on A DEAD Giveaway of College Decline
Tags
Thanks to the miracle of COVID, they’ve somehow found a digital way to reanimate dead college professors.
Concordia University says there should have been no confusion about who was teaching an online class after a student said he was surprised to discover the professor delivering the video lectures had died in 2019.
Aaron Ansuini, a student at the Montreal university, wrote in a series of recent posts on Twitter that he enjoyed the lectures by Francois-Marc Gagnon, who he assumed was the professor of his online art history class.
I’m sure delightful, socially-distant excuses were roundly provided by this $10,000 – $37,000 (CAD) per term Pet Semetary U. While I have no idea how higher “education” is funded in Canada, I rest assured that US students get run through Shylock’s ringer if they attend. Really, the bargain of a lifetime (or deathtime for faculty). The big question is how much do dead professors make in way of salary and benefits?

≈ Comments Off on Cartoon Politics – from TPC!
Greetings, Piedmonteers! In the name of Brahma the Merciless (say Awoman!), I trust we’re all wearing our COVIET face burqas. Let’s review a new and alarming, if sadly predictable trend sweeping the remains of the USSA.
Oh, yes, this installment is a twofer – I figure I owe you, and there at least two big issues and all.
First, a quick assessment of where this whole thing stands, from a realistic standpoint. With my sizable dosage of hopium having worn off, I’m back to where I was on July 30, 2020. This point is for future historians to ratify, but, friends, it’s over – at least as it has been. The days of even semi-free, quasi-fair, kinda-honest elections in the [fill in the titular terminology as you like: republic, democracy, collapsing empire, “gay” Talmudic clown show, etc.] are days of the past. I knew as early as 2012 that national contests were officially rigged, thus my cessation of direct participation. 2016 was a test that didn’t quite work out as planned. 2020 saw the institution of a fool-proof system; yes, everything was caught, but no one was willing to do anything about it. And, that (we’ll say 11:59 AM on January 20th) was the last chance for a miracle fix. If you’re granted an “election” in 2024, rest assured that the outcome is already decided. The fraud will not be traceable in the future, not that anyone will be looking for it then.
Things are moving right along now. I know everyone is reeling and starting to reassess allegiance to the Uniparty or one of the controlled opposition non-starters. That’s fine. Do what seems best to or for you. But, it’s time – past time – to embrace what’s unfolding. There are four general courses to take, some of which may overlap, tactically, as circumstances dictate: flee, fight, freeze, or hide.

We connect your Catholic homeschool to the experts.
And in the spirit of the New Evangelization and in the light of Pope St. John Paul II’s teaching on the domestic church, Homeschool Connections seeks to use technology to enhance a homeschool family’s educational efforts by providing them the needed resources to achieve this endeavor.
Goals
We aspire to help parents with the education of their children in two respects: (1) to provide free, informative webinars for parents; and (2) to provide affordable and engaging courses from University-level professors and practitioners for students.
Yes, Anthony Esonlen is on the staff, thus validating the program!

≈ Comments Off on Subtle Intelligence
Tags
The joys of email! I received one just the other night from The Ladders (of the jobs search sect). It contained a link to 9 subtle ways to show you’re intelligent (without having to say anything) by Jonah Malin – not a bad article as far as things go, especially for those looking to increase performance in the workplace.
While scanning, I caught on to a few words and phrases that stood out:
What makes someone intelligent?
Is it the ability to recall facts? Being an expert test-taker? Reading two hundred books a year?
Honestly, true intelligence requires a holistic approach. The smartest people are experts at navigating life through learned experiences. They have good judgment in different situations. And, most importantly, intelligent people understand actions speak louder than words.
There’s, of course, much more; read the whole thing. And, on this topic, as with many others, it’s a matter of relativity. Again, this being an employment/corporate HR publication, the nine methods of intelligence demonstration are all nicely tailored for boosting actual or perceived performance, ostensibly improving the overall dynamics of the office experience. It’s great for what it is. What it is not is an empirical answer to the leading question, above, as qualified by the included terms “truly intelligent.” The answer in that narrowed light is an IQ at or above 140. (Yes, there are all kinds of standards, but Terman’s [one of them] is sufficient for discussion of minds rating in or above the Mensa range or that commonly assigned to gifted placements in most schools).
Most people, averaging between 85 and 115, will, I think, benefit from the provided tips. More benefits should be derived by or for those in the 115 – 130 range. I suspect there is a marked decrease for those above 130, and a cliff-falling of sorts for those above 140. While patience and attire are important for everyone, at least from time to time, the higher up the ladder one climbs, the more difficult it is to successfully interact with those below (in a general sense). This partially explains why those with very high or extremely high IQs frequently do not fit in with organizations, regardless of how they spend money or what they wear. Thinking differently – that’s what it is – leads to interacting differently. Some handle it better than others, a matter more of personality than intelligence, which is what the article really drives towards.
One great tell that this advice is offered for those above average if below the exceptional threshold is the final tip about social media. True intelligence is rarely found on Facebook, a platform geared more towards the television-watching public than Triple Nine members. Sure, anyone can create a responsible reason to post or Tweet, it just isn’t common.
If you work with or employ someone with a very high IQ, do what you can to steer him into the right position where he can be happy while also using his mental advantages to your advantage.

≈ Comments Off on Anatomy of a Column
It took a while, longer than normal, but I wrote and submitted this week’s TPC column! I’ll post that here when if they run it.
Or, I might run my original, which was written at, how should I put this? At a higher… nevermind. The first draft was long (“TL;DR,” yuck, yuck”) and full of references and math. Nobody likes that, so I toned it down. The middle version was entirely too vitriolic so I scraped it. I think what I went with was entirely appropriate, just as it was entirely accurate. Whatever, right? It’s not like the subject matters. It is all a done deal. Yeah. You’ll enjoy it if you see it.

≈ Comments Off on Georgia Demographic Demise

Eye of Newt wrote as good a column about the GOP defeat in GA as any Boomercon could. He’s kind of right but just can’t connect the dots. The reason, and there’s one, why the “Demoncrats” swept the dying state of Georgia is patently, painfully obvious. I have thought about addressing that in my next TPC column. I’m still waiting on Trump to finally ACT! While we wait, I may give GA a shot if just to entertain the few TPC readers who don’t embrace the TL;DR, the libertarian, or the gamma. You’ll know it if you see it. I am working (hard) on the next segments in my FP series on surviving the Civil War. Stay tuned.

America, American Awakening, books, Christianity, decline, hmmm, Josh Mitchell, society, United States
American Awakening: Identity Politics and Other Afflictions of Our Time by Joshua Mitchell may be worth reading. Here’s a summary.
America seems to have gone mad. It still is the world’s richest and most powerful country, with the oldest continuous government on earth, yet it is in deep crisis and divided between hostile camps that reject each other’s legitimacy. Paradoxically, what made America strong also makes it inherently fragile. Joshua Mitchell, a professor of government at Georgetown University, presents a cogent diagnosis of America’s dark night of the soul in a remarkable new book that should be required reading for anyone who wants to make sense of today’s United States.
A Chinese acquaintance quips, “Now you are having your own Cultural Revolution.” In fact, the criticism and self-criticism sessions imposed on corporate employees and school personnel to root out hidden racism recall Mao’s Red Guards. But America is not China, and this is not a Cultural Revolution; it is an eruption of Christian religious feeling channeled into secular obsessions.
Asia Times’s review presents a somewhat jumbled but still compelling portrait. I may just pick this one up and report back in a while. If you’d like to beat me to it, check here.
