The Fable Of The Baby Bird

 

On the Monday and Tuesday editions of the Prepper Post News this week, I reported on and positively reviewed Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s book “The Real Anthony Fauci.” Buy it and read it. I’ve already said much concerning the matter. 

The book is superbly written and organized by a passionate and informed author. It confirms everything we, the intelligent and faithful, knew. It teaches us new things, some of which are almost unimaginable. It is a damning indictment of the title subject – literally like a charging document under the Nuremberg Code. It is also as good a bill of wrongs against the entirety of the US imperial government – for satanic crimes of all kinds dating back a century – as I have just about ever seen. If temporal justice escapes the evil-doers, know that Saint Michael sharpens his sword. Buy it and read it!

Most people will not or cannot do that. In fact, most don’t care. About much of anything. They do not think. They feel. Fear is their primary emotion.

So much is happening.

The American People are being systematically eliminated.

We are replaced with dull, violent primitives and literal cannibals.

We are in year three (or ten) of a giant idiotic hoax, war, and war crime.

The foreign satanists who run the US are forcing the world to the brink of a massive multi-front war.

Those elites murdered JFK, pulled 9/11, and created and unleashed the CoronaHoax. These things – read the damned book! – are all related. 

The world economy, at least the part in the ailing West, is dead.

So much more.

But evil and stupidity have rendered the Amerikan Sheeple immune to rationality and reality. They have reminded me of another Boring Old Perrin Story.™ 

Many, many years ago… How many? I can’t remember. Let’s say it was back in 1979. As good a year as any. We’ll also say it was in Mississippi. It was a long time ago in a world that no longer exists.

My parents, perhaps wanting to be more like my maternal grandparents, were looking for some kind of RV. A few years later, they bought a pop-up camper. I think we used it twice and then were ever so happy to get rid of the thing,

Anyway, on what I think was a summer day, we ventured far out into the countryside. This is relatively easy to do in Mississippi. Where, exactly, I cannot recall. But it seems to my poor memory that there was a sizable RV dealership way out somewhere. It was on the outskirts of a larger town. Tupelo? Meridian? Somewhere. We went, and looked, and left with nothing – except this story.

It could have been me being a small boy at the time, but the place was or appeared rather large. It was loaded with campers, class C models, vans, etc. This being back in the sane, normal, old, and gone America, the small boy was given free rein to run around at will. I did. 

While running wild, I discovered that this place, like any decent RV dealer, kept a family of goats in the backlot. I interacted with the group, which was just as fun as it sounds. Some were friendly and liked me petting them. Others were angry and it was all I could do to hold them at bay. My petting and fighting were interrupted for the occasional camper consultation. I can only remember one. I was yellow and smelled bad.

The key part of this tale either happened during our initial entry or upon a quick jaunt to and from the car. Between the parking lot and the sales office, there was a concrete sidewalk. I was following a few steps down it behind my old man. There, I heard a sad, lonely, and faint wailing cry. I looked down at my feet.

Pathetically alone and doomed to die, a tiny, half-finger-sized baby bird lay screaming. It was naked, featherless, and pink. It being both helpless and hopeless, I was instantly moved to pity it. And, at the time, I didn’t even know what it was.

“What’s this?” I called my dad.

“A baby bird that fell out of the nest,” he explained.

I looked around and didn’t see a nest. The matter was inexplicable though it was very real. There was nowhere to return this little victim, who was likely beyond survival anyway.

The old man did the right and decent thing. He bent down and rolled the urchin up in his handkerchief. I didn’t see it, but I assume he used the dove field trick, probably with a press of his thumb, to hasten the poor little bird’s passing. His next move, understandable now, perplexed me then. He simply deposited the rolled body into a nearby trashcan and moved on.

“Why did you throw away the baby bird?” I asked. He didn’t explain, knowing I would eventually figure it all out. I did, in time. In fact, I’ve done similar good deeds myself in the ensuing decades. The day went on. Time followed it.

These days, here in post-modernity, I now recall the doomed baby bird. I see him frequently. All around me, in the faces of my fellow citizens, my neighbors, even a few friends, in their faces I see the baby bird with his eyes closed tight and mouth opened wide and loud. Confronted with a thousand evils, they lie helpless and hopeless, naked and screaming. Again, I am moved to pity. And I cautiously wonder if some kindly giant might happen along with a handy pocket square. He has, one might imagine, yet to appear.

Do not be the baby bird. Stand up. Fly. Fight. Whatever. Nobody is going to gently deposit you anywhere. Survival is up to you. It’s not 1979. This is sometimes inexplicable, but at all times real. Tell me I’m wrong.

American Nostalgia

On Monday the United States turns 240 years old. Almost everyone will enjoy a day off, fireworks, and cookouts. But, as this Youtube video shows, very few people today can connect the significance of July 4th to the spirit of what it means to be American.

I almost dislike the Fourth anymore. All the firework-watching, barbecue-eating, vacationers will celebrate their “freedom” under an unfathomable dome of laws, rules, regulations, and new norms that make life anything but free. Much of the celebration will be directed towards the government, adulation in the name of liberty of the very thing that squashes liberty.

Two-hundred-forty years is a long time for societal continuity. Comparing the rhetoric of American life to the reality makes me wonder if our best days are behind us.

Consider, if you will, this incredible collage of 1940s-50s advertisements put together by Reason: Happy 4th: These Vintage Ads for Capitalism Will Make You Proud to Be an American, Katherine Mangu-Ward, July 2, 2016.

Reason, The Ad Council-Standard Oil.

All of the ads are unabashedly pro-American and pro-capitalism. Many celebrate the accomplishments of 1950 America compared to those from 1900. Many, like the one I display above, celebrate modern, suburban family life. Scenes like the one above look like America.

True, if we kept on comparing and contrasting some things, the 21st century would look like the good new days. My phone has vastly superior video capabilities than any television from 1950. Were I transported back to the 50s right now, I would have in my possession the two most powerful computers in the world. Our cars are safer, more fuel-efficient, better, if uglier than those from the 50s. We have 900 channels on television. Every building is air-conditioned. But, are we better for all the new, universal comforts and conveniences?

You can see something in the pictures that I don’t have to describe. All of the people pictured are happy, they are family oriented, they look dignified. They had good reason to smile while smoking pipes and watching Junior play with the dog. Back then America was growing – in terms of prosperity and of income and opportunity. They had laws and regulations then but those did not extend into every facet of daily life as they do now. By and large, we were then one big homogenous family. There was a certain comfort associated with that era which technology cannot rival.

Today all of these happy 1950s Americans would look out-of-place in most parts of our daily landscape. Can you imagine one of those well-dressed, smiling families striding through a Wal-Mart clogged with 400-pound, EBT card-wielding slobs? No. Each group would think the other recently departed from employment with the circus. Can you imagine people today talking openly and with pride about American capitalism, growth, and family oriented spirituality? No. They would be accused of committing micro-aggression upon micro-aggression.

There will be a lot of flag waving come Monday. But, more often than not today the flag is frowned upon as it may invariably offend some newly arrived intruder who sees America as little more than a welfare check and a place to convert to third world status.

Two things are to blame for this decline: the government, which seeks to dominate everything, and; the people who accept it, trading happiness and freedom and dignity for gadgets and gluttony. Loafing is not leisure. Frivolity is not freedom. What a better world we would have today if we could keep the true advancements, trade the glittering state-worship (and the state) for peaceful prosperity, and, most importantly, return to a happy, prideful sense of civilization.

When or if you celebrate this long weekend, pause to ask what you truly enjoy about post-modern America. Is it just pomp and frolicking for a day or is it a real celebration of human spirit and freedom?
