The Snow Begins to Fall

I could not hang in there long enough to see the Patriots lose in overtime last night. It was in Denver after Gronk hurt his knee. The snow was coming down.

This morning I saw the final score – 24 to 30. I’m actually happy as a Pats fan. Perfect regular seasons don’t portend well for the Super Bowl. The Gronk issue is the bad news, maybe it’s only a game or two.

Then I found another blizzard in the news: “Chinese yuan likely to be added to IMF special basket of currencies.” The IMF is placing the Yuan on par with the Dollar.

China rises as the U.S. declines. This is our international monetary Gronk issue. It may not be a game or two. The games are likely over. The world is hastily seeking out a new reserve currency to replace ours. We, like all empires before us, are overextended.

This may not be the end of our “season” but it is a game changer. The home folks have been feeling the effects of the decline in their wallets for a good while now.

Like it or not our overtime will come to an end. We need to turn now to our collective Gostkowskis and prep for next season. It’s starting to snow.

Law Schools: Deans, Dunces, and Degeneracy

This week I protested the wholesale stupidity and cowardice of high school administrators in Massachusetts. Sadly, I now have bigger fish to fry. Fry them I shall. Last night I read about the utter demise of the Moritz College of Law at THE (they put emphasis on that word) Ohio State University.

You may recall my reflections on my own Legal “Education” – a process which bears little resemblance to the legal profession and none to the actual law. Law schools obsess over “positive law,” meaning statutes and court decisions (particularly the courts). There the Natural Law is a heresy.

In general law schools are not worth attending. They offer three years of state worship, communism and idiocy in exchange for entry into a failed and depressing career. THE Ohio State law school provides an excellent example.

Until about 40 or 50 years ago American universities were places where ideas were exchanged and cultivated. Law schools were supposedly high bastions of legal theory. I say supposedly because they also served as gatekeepers for the attorneys’ professional monopoly. Many of our best lawyers – Jefferson, Adams, Spooner, etc. – did not attend law schools – they “read” or self studied the law while apprenticed to a practicing attorney. I digress…

Elementary and high schools provided the base education. They made sure graduates could read, write, add and think for themselves. They also instilled a sense of history and scientific wonder and civic appreciation. Colleges were where serious scholars furthered their learning. Graduate schools were reserved for the elite.

Everything has changed now. Grade schools today serve as temporary detention centers where the inmates are indoctrinated as they await entry into either real prisons, menial employment (becoming rarer), or college admissions. The colleges serve as hosts for semi-professional football teams, sex and drug parties, and havens for the mentally defective, otherwise unemployable people known as “academics.”

Colleges, to include law schools, babysit a generation of uneducated, uninterested, uninteresting weaklings. The students demand “safe spaces.” They obsess over trivial or purely imaginary sufferings of which they have no understanding. They are unfamiliar with free thought or the value of a question. The staff and professors, still mourning the loss of the Soviet Union, cater to this legion of wusses in a desperate bid to keep their own irrelevant jobs. They cater and coddle so long as the little snowflakes are politically correct. The free-thinker, the libertarian, the conservative, the proudly Caucasian and the Christian are considered enemies within.

Madison Gesiotto found out about the deplorable intellectual dishonesty and spinelessness of the Moritz College of Law the hard way. The stunning beauty queen (Miss Ohio USA) came to Moritz for the stunning purpose of furthering her education. A pro-life Catholic and an accomplished writer, she penned a story about the devastating effects of the abortion industry on the black community.

This was a triple sin. First, Christians are supposed to be silent should they even be allowed inside the temples of government worship. Second, abortion is a sacrament to the cult and never to be questioned. Third, and a recent development, the black community is not to be mentioned outside of glowing support for the black lives matter bullshit and other small sects of discontent.

A reasonable, thoughtful person would glean from Madison’s article her concern for black children, all children, murdered by the Satanic likes of Planned Parenthood. The American abortion trade was born of racist Nazi origin. One would think liberals and the modern race hustlers would declare war on rather than fully defend such an institution. Those black lives must not matter.

For her sincere concern and honest scholarship Madison received scorn and even a threat. “The government cannot take action against you for your offensive and racist article. But your colleagues can,” wrote some idiot on Madison’s Facebook page. Madison does not know the fool who posted this statement (smart enough not to be criminal but dumb enough for national condemnation) though she knows or suspects he is a student at Moritz.

I wrote to Madison too, informing her that her online stalker is a wuss and not to be feared. I can almost guarantee he sleeps with a nightlight – the kind who flits about in skinny jeans – the kind just brave enough to threaten a girl on the internet – the kind that finds girls “icky.”

We can tell a good bit about our e-vilgilante by his choice of words. He starts: “The government cannot take action against you …” He really wishes it could. He’s a socialist or Nazi at heart. Anything he deems inappropriate should be a crime. The government should take action.

“…for your offensive and racist article.” Up is down and black is white to these itty bitty babys. An article condemning the murder of several hundred thousand black children each year is racist. Does the bedwetter want them killed? Why? Perhaps his cry is a transferring admission of a conscious he is personally afraid of. And “offensive.” Lefties love nothing more than to be offended by something. Rather than threaten Madison they should thank her for giving them something to cry about.

“But your colleagues can.” Can what? Take what action? Whatcha pansies gonna do? They’ve done it. They sent a Facebook message. They have now exhausted their powers. One would hope they are now safely back in the safe room being safe. You can’t help but feel sorry for them. It’s like coming across a terminally injured rabbit (except the bunny thinks a bit more and isn’t afraid of girl bunnies).

Using this dork as a benchmark Madison has no colleagues at Moritz. She must stand out like a tree among weeds. That last line – the threat – was a subtle warning that politically incorrect thought and expression will be punished by the legal community. The sentiment was echoed by the school itself as I will note shortly.

So what? Madison can’t be kicked out for free speech (though that would rid her of all this stupidity). Perhaps the Ohio Bar will frown on her application. Odds are the review personnel are not smart enough or industrious enough to connect these dots. Even if they did, they can be sued just like a law school. Maybe Madison won’t have the luxury of slaving away 16 hours a day, 7 days a week for years at a big “prestigious” law firm. The kind of firm where, if you survive, they come to you one day and tell you you’re not moving up so it’s time to move out.  Horrors!

No, Madison’s future is secure. She was bright enough to make it on her own anyway. Now, as a victim of statist discrimination, she is a national sweetheart. People (most of us) still love real women and real Americans. She’s probably already had job offers. Maybe book offers. She will be on national television this weekend to explain her experience.

Now, let us look at the school itself. Feeling threatened Madison did what she was supposed to. She contacted the school and arranged a meeting with the dean. At the meeting she found herself confronted by three deans. They blew off her concerns for her safety and freedom and immediately attacked her and her article.

“This is a flawed article, it’s not a good legal piece, it’s not a good journalistic piece, either,” snorted her trio of over(tax)paid assailants. Like the Facebook bully these “academics” revealed a bit of their psyche and lack of mental horsepower. Their statement revealed a lack of understanding of journalism, legal or otherwise.

Dean Alan C. Michaels said he “takes any alleged threat against its students very seriously.” The thought bubble over his head continued, “except in this case. We’re going to abuse the victim here.”

Alan, who graduated from Harvard and Columbia, can be reached at (614) 292-0574. He’s a former prosecutor and criminal law specialist. Criminal. You know. Like threatening remarks criminal. Criminal negligence in refusing to investigate threats. Pitiful. If the roles were reversed, Madison would be in a holding cell somewhere. Pathetic.

Dean Kathy Seward Northern ((614) 292- 7750) alerted Madison she had reached out to the Moritz’s Black Law Students Association and found them not a threat to Madison. This was pointless as Northern knew the stalker was white and likely not a member of the BLSA. Her real intent was probably to fan emotions in the BLSA against Madison’s raaaaaaacism (defending black babies and all that). Her specialty is “environmental racism” whatever the hell that is.

The hidden agenda worked. The BLSA said they were OFFENDED by the racist article. Again, she made their day, showering them with glorious offense. Not mine. All this offense taking is beginning to offend me.

Northern told Madison (probably while looking down her nose) “that in her mind this article could be taken various ways and left questions to be answered.” Yeah, idiot, that’s what good journalism does. It provokes questions. Thoughts. Discussion.

The deans did recommend a “facilitated discussion” between Madison and her intellectual and emotional inferiors. She wisely refused. Such a session would have consisted of lowbrow freaks taunting the young woman (while maybe also flinging poo at her) while the deans looked on in smug approval.

A third dean was mentioned but remains unidentified. It’s as likely as not it was a homeless person pulled in off the street by Michaels and Northern. Hobos look and act much like law school deans. He obviously added nothing memorable to the conversation.

The Moritz website touts its faculty: “Brilliant scholars and devoted teachers, our professors are passionate about making lasting contributions in their fields of expertise and in the lives of their students.” I ponder their lasting contributions to Madison. Maybe they did teach her something – personal fortitude in the face of socialism.

Like a champion, Madison remains undeterred. She wrote another excellent article in her own defense. 

I am Catholic, I am conservative, I am an American, I am a woman, I am a millennial, I am a law student and I am proud.

I am not afraid to voice my opinions and refuse to be stifled by the unwillingness of others to accept views, beliefs or behaviors different from their own.

Madison, Washington Times.

You. Go. Girl.

Concerned Women for America and other groups have come to her defense. Not that she needs it. She has single-handedly defeated the fascists of Moritz. She did it by merely standing up to them. They have no power over her and will fear her going forward. They also have nothing to teach her though this incident has given her an education of sorts.

Madison is beautiful, brave, talented and a winner. She can’t be alone in academia. If there remain even a few like her, then the institution is not completely lost.

Airspace and Airheads

ISIS is supposedly our enemy – when we’re not funding and training them. They shoot theater patrons and bomb stadiums when they’re not fighting our enemy (or friend) in Syria … or something.  Very complicated.  Very stupid.  Every other Wednesday we are at war with them.  We bomb hospitals like they bomb soccer games thus demonstrating our moral superiority.

Russia recently began bombing the daylights out of ISIS’s military operations in Syria.  To be sure, Putin has ulterior political motives but his are probably not as murky nor schizophrenic as ours.

Turkey shot down a Russian plane it said had violated Turkish airspace.  Russia disputes the claim.  Washington, never wanting to miss a good time, has sent Air Force F-15s to Turkey to help fight the threat of Russia, which fights the threat of ISIS, which is crossing some stretch of the Texas border into the U.S. right now.

Geo. Washington, in his Farewell Address, 1796, referred to this as the “insidious wiles of foreign influence.” Of course, he would neither recognize nor understand what his homeland as descended into these days.  He might ask that his name be removed from the national capital (“Moronia” might be more appropriate).

Odds are there is more intelligence (far more) in Moscow and in Ankara than in D.C.; things should cool down sufficiently to prevent a sprouting of the giant mushrooms.

If intelligence is lacking in D.C., then it is utterly lost around metro Boston. At least as far as local government schooling is concerned.

In Revere, a North shore suburb, the high school cheerleading captain, Caley Godino, was kicked off the squad after some pitiful nitwits found one of her Tweets “offensive.”  It seems Caley Tweeted, “When only 10 percent of Revere votes for mayor cause the other 90 percent isn’t legal,” as part of a political discussion about illegal immigration. [Revere’s population is about 30% foreign-born].

Local school superintendent and head Nazi in charge, Dianne Kelly, said of Caley’s horrible, racist, offensive (free) speech, “If you’re going to stand up and say something that other people will find offensive- than you need to be prepared to deal with the ramifications of that.”

I see nothing racist in her tweet. Hyperbole I sense. A hint of truth perhaps. Nothing to offend any reasonable person. Then again, the reasonable seem few and far between.

People find everything offensive today.  I’m sure some in Revere find the town’s namesake, Paul Revere, offensive – he was opposed to the illegal invasions of his day (one Tweet if by land, two if …). Many are offended by the existence of white people.  Caley is likely offended she’s not a captain anymore.  Kelly is probably offended Caley is young, attractive and popular (and not PC). I find Kelly a bit offensive; she appears to be a self-righteous Marxist crossbred with a woodchuck.

kelly_smwcg

See what I mean?  Maybe it’s the lighting.  Picture (first one) courtesy of the Revere Ministry of Indoctrination.

By the way, Herr Woodchuck can be reached at 781-286-8226 should you have any comments for her.  Just don’t offend her tiny sensibilities.  I won’t call because I would say something like, “Go to hell, you communist bitch.”  Very insensitive. They might make me an honorary cheerleader just so they could kick me off the squad.

I hope young Caley has learned her lesson: American government schools, where immigration law breaking is tolerated but free speech is not, are a joke and not worth attending.  I would tell her to get a GED and be done with the foolishness.  She might want to consider suing – The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education could help.

Dropping out of the failed system would do her better than any court action. Should she attend college she will find the same hypersensitivity and PC BS – writ large. Maybe she could get an education provided all the silly snowflakes are locked up in their safe places.

I hope this article is not offensive to woodchucks, not all of whom are communists. I’m sure not all educrats are stupid. I’m sure everyone in Washington is. Polys, please don’t get up nuked. Caley, do not give in.

“Refugee” Crisis Reveals Massive Government Incompetence

Never underestimate the awesome stupidity of the state. The unfolding Islamic invasion has shed new light on government efforts to plumb the depths of idiocy.

Despite the obvious and lethal failure of the 21st Century mass migration/third world conversion policies the statists still want more. More when even a little is extremely dangerous.

Analysts think the Parisian attacks may have cost the terrorists less than $10,000. That price divided by $925 gives you the approximate number of jihadis we’re told were directly involved. Amazing. You pay for your own demise. Convenient.

Nothing can be easy or cheap enough for them. Any solution for you must be prohibitively expensive; it must not be allowed. A review of the emerging video and photo footage of the attacks reveal instances where an armed citizen could have returned fire on the savages. This might not have turned the tide but it would have broken some waves. It would have sent a message – a message the government does not want.

A jammed AK provides an opportunity to shoot back. Dailymail.

France has restrictive gun laws. At least normal people are restricted. The laws don’t seem to slow criminals at all. Another government failure. Yet the fools have already called for more restrictions. A rumor circulates that his Excellency Obama will use his final year in office in an attempt to move American gun laws closer to the perfection of places like France. If successful, we will see similar results.

The “refugees” stream into America even as I write. Many are not waiting for generous welfare handouts; they’re coming in illegally and undocumented. They also seem to be disproportionately young, healthy men. Things must be very bad indeed if they choose to abandon their women, children and elders in the war zones.

Young, healthy Syrian men have been arrested in Honduras, headed for America with fake Greek passports. That doesn’t prove them terrorists but it does prove an oddity. More were caught at the Texas border. At least these were stopped. Many make it in – illegally or officially.

Al-CIA-da members have already been arrested after using the refugee ruse to settle in Kentucky. Again, young, healthy, weapon wielding men. No word about their families left behind. The U.S. admits there may be dozens more terrorists unaccounted for. Lax background checks are blamed. I blame government stupidly.

HT_al-qaeda_weapons_split_nt_131118_33x16_1600

Pitiful Refugees. FBI.

Government programs are a study in serious failure. The TSSA, allegedly created to protect us from terrorists, can’t even detect weapons in 75% of test cases. Very reassuring. They do excel at strip-searching grandmothers and college girls. This foolishness costs us a fortune too.

Our government only wants to resettle “refugees” of terror-prone Islamic nature. Any others need not apply. Of 827 Somalian “refugees” brought to America in a 6 week period, only one was a Christian, the rest, all of them, Muslim. It’s the same with Syrians and all others. They only come into Western nations. Wealthy, peaceful Middle Eastern countries will not have them. Saudi Arabia has tent cities up and ready – capable of comfortably housing millions – but they have not accepted a single “refugee.” What does that tell you?

The sleeper agents are here and they are preparing more attacks. ISIS is already threatening D.C. and Times Square with Paris-style violence. It will happen again. And again. And, probably, again. All thanks not to lax checks and enforcement, but to open and reckless abandonment of the people by their government.

Prepare as you can and remember all of this when the shyster politicians beg you for your votes.

 

The Fifth Column, The Fourth Turning, and The Third World: As Goes Paris, So Goes The West

Last Friday, the 13th, lived up to the superstition. Not just for the people of Paris but for all the civilized world.

I actually conceived of this article, at least the main title, a few weeks ago. I did not know what to do with it. I needed a spark. Then, like Gollum at the end of The Return of the King, ISIS played their part. They provided the spark. One can only hope that spark ignites the powder keg of Europe. If the old continent is to be saved, it must be saved now.

Emilo Mola coined the phrase fifth column during the Spanish Civil War. It, of course, refers to the enemy within, the subversive and the treasonous.

The West is besieged by a host of enemies, mostly manufactured by our own “leaders.” Radical Islamists, for instance, have stated explicitly they want to conquer Europe and America for the caliphate. By themselves they stood no chance of achieving this goal. Enter the politicians and the elites. The elites, the establishment itself, serves as the fifth column by allowing, almost mandating, mass migration of violent third worlders into civilized nations.

Their excuses are many, the result is singular – death. Death to our citizens and to our culture.

This is the way with all things touched by the government: money, immigration, education, family life. Ruination. The entity whose sole purpose is to protect the people is now the people’s worst enemy.

The Fourth Turning refers to the end of the latest cyclical chapter as posited by William Strauss and Neil Howe. These cycles are somewhat reminiscent of Plato’s regime cycles.  The Strauss/Howe theory is Amerocentric; I can appreciate it. Plato’s nearly iron law of political behaviour is universal and (apparently) timeless; I prefer it.  However, the Turning fits my theme herein and I like the sound of it.

The fourth turning is the one that ushers in upheaval. It coincides with Plato’s final phase – from decadent democracy into despotism and ruin.

The war on the West by the Islamic world is a pivotal event in the turning phase. It could be the most critical. If it succeeds our culture could be lost forever. Or, it could be changed for the worse. The loss or change might only be temporary, but temporary could mean centuries.

Originally the third world consisted of those nations neither aligned with NATO nor with the Communist Block.  It included several European countries and other decent, advanced places.  Today it has become synonymous with primitive (sometimes savage) societies.

The third world is largely incompatible with modern civilization. Actually, it is completely incompatible. Conversion, on a small-scale, requires many generations to become effective. On a mass scale it stands a better chance of destroying the first world hosts. The events in Paris are self-explanatory.

European Civilization arose after 40,000 years of struggle and development. Our ancestors battled a bitter environment, ice ages, bears the size of SUVs, and each other. The end result, as improbable as it was, is a people who can simultaneously cure disease, compose complex symphonies, and explore space.

The other peoples have not done these things because they cannot. Not yet. They still struggle, usually among each other. Bringing a semi-literate, violent savage to a modern metropolis is little different from moving a fox into a henhouse. The fox may have good sport but the hens suffer.

Suffer the hens do. Google.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the Parisian offensive, the ‘First of the Storm’ as they call it. We need not doubt their sincerity.

This group and others like it are products of America’s and Europe’s meddling affairs in the middle east. ISIS was created, trained, funded, and armed by the CIA and with your money. Pawns in Washington’s unnatural wars for corporate profit and world hegemony.

The government trotted the globe in search of the most violent conflicts – turmoil which in no way concerned the West. Upon finding chaos Washington kicked the veritable hornet’s nest. They made sure the hornets knew who was kicking them. Unsurprisingly, that engendered hatred of us in the minds of the warring savages.

Then, with the hornets good and angry, our leaders began to import them in droves. The results have been as predictable as they are horrific.

Even now some of our “betters” murmur against the obvious. They still want to protect their suicidal project. Those who created the problem should not be counted on to solve it.

There is but one solution. The invading hoards must be deported from Christendom. Our lives depend on it. Madam LE Pen, likely France’s next President, plainly stated that the French must annihilate radical Islam in France. It does not belong there. It can contribute nothing but more murders, other crimes, and to the evisceration of the traditional way of life.

Several of the attackers in Paris have been identified as recent refugees allowed into Europe under the guise of humanitarian relief from the war in Syria. Syrian affairs, war included, are best left to the Syrians. The largely disarmed French people are open victims waiting to be slaughtered.

Even as these traffic events unfold and the lies of liberalism are laid bare, the same murmuring voices call for the disarming of America. They seem to want more easy targets for the terrorists they created and imported.

Airstrikes have been launched in Syria by the French this weekend. They are less retaliatory but still more hornet kicking. More of the same will beget more similar results – see Einstein’s theory of insanity.

This is as calm a followup to my first reaction in Bellwether as I could manage. Really, I’ve already said all of this. Back in January I published my Thoughts on Paris regarding the Charlie Hebdo massacre. I had hopes that terror would awaken the people. Maybe this one will.

All people have a natural right to freedom and happiness. It is my hope that, by example, the first world will enlighten the third. Mixing the two directly runs the high risk of destroying both. Who desires that?

Should you find my ideas offensive or politically incorrect, please feel free to go to hell. Or, just go to Paris and await the hornet’s next sting.

A day. Early yesterday morning I wrote about two headlines that made me laugh. Now I have a thousand to make one cry. One day.

When I heard the first reports last night of the war (not just attacks) in Paris I skipped through emotions and went straight to raging anger. Therefore I will withhold serious commentary for now. My thoughts are, understandably, dark, perhaps irrational. Composed discussion may be available tomorrow.

The first step towards solving any problem is to admit there is one. Beloved friends, we have a problem. A deadly problem. It’s not just in France. It’s all of Western Civilization that hangs in the balance.

God rest those innocents lost last night.

America, Democrats, politics, Republicans, Sister Souljah, The People

I saw two headlines that made me laugh this morning. Almost spilled my coffee.

Democrats count on black voters in order to retain power over them. Sister Souljah (great writer, by the way) has called out Hillary as a plantation mistress. Perfect.

Republicans count on constant stupidity for stupidity’s sake. Fearing they have a few candidates who could actually win, the GOP establishment proposes drafting Mitt Romney into the race. Pathetic.

That’s all these people have – weak, sick, devious, has-been losers. And, they expect Americans to play along. Until now Americans have. Maybe that’s about to change. Maybe the country is waking up. Souljah is. How about you?

The big, ugly ONE party system hates us. They think we’re all fools – fit for slave life on their plantation. To hell with them.

Department of Whimp Studies

In another century I recall walking up the hill towards Georgia’s north campus. It was a clear lovely morning. There, hanging by a noose from an ancient tree, was a mannequin clothed in ethnic African garb. Upon the corpse was affixed a sign protesting the atrocities in Somalia – this was during America’s failed intervention in that crumbled nation. Dramatic high political speech.

The hanging corpse faced downhill so as to be visible to the masses walking north from the student center and Sanford Stadium. Those at the library and the law school also had a good view. The body stayed there all day.

I think they left the beautiful tree when they erected yet another monstrous hall of learning on the hill – followed by another across the walkway. Progress.

A year or two later I was on the north campus quad, making my way to Brooks Hall. I smelled smoke and heard a commotion. Nearing the hanging tree I observed Brooks engulfed in flames.

The metal roof needed repairs and a roofer with a torch was called in. One thing led to another and then the whole structure needed repairing. It was almost a year before classes resumed therein.

Another time I trotted into the courtyard between the student center and the bookstore. There was a huge crowd gathered around the performance stage. On stage were a variety of smartly dressed loudmouths. A be-suited man was screaming into a microphone. I think it was Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist fame. If not, he was a similar hate-monger.

“Fred” ranted and raved. The gathered students jeered and mocked. A woman on stage filmed the spectacle. A police officer looked on. He was there to keep the throng from assaulting the insulting preacher though he obviously sided with the insulted. All in all, the crowd was very well-behaved. The good behavior was rewarded with belittlement and abuse:

You, slut in the pants, thou shalt burn in hell!

Black man, ye shall no the fires!

Filthy sinner, I discern thoust to be a homosexual. God hates you!

You there, … I just don’t like your looks. Sinner!

Here, we have a witch!

A young man turned to the taunted, taunting crowd and asked them to show old Fred a little respect. The crowd booed laughingly. Fred turned immediately on his defender: “Silence! Ye heathen interrupter!”

On it went. I grew weary and shuffled away. The students gave as good as they got from Hell’s street preacher.

Again, that was another century. I swear people were differen then. Remember? It was called America.

Today, any of these incidents would be the genesis of great crisis. CNN would host a campus town hall telethon. Riots would ensue. Politicians would shriek. Climates would change.

By all accounts, over the past 25 years Americans in general have changed – young people and college students especially. They have become soft as butter and about as intellectual.

National Review notes: Campus Commotions Show We’re Raising Fragile Kids. So it seems. Decades ago, armed with only flowers, college students would stand down the rifle-totting ranks of the National Guard. Now, they cower in fear of one of their own sporting a Raggedy Ann costume.

The Review’s article centers, primarily, on the stupidity at Yale.

A warning not to wear culturally insensitive Halloween costumes sparked an imbroglio at Yale, which went viral over the weekend. A lecturer asked in an e-mail, “Is there no room anymore for a child to be a little bit obnoxious . . . a little bit inappropriate or provocative or, yes, offensive?”

Students went ballistic. When an administrator (who is the lecturer’s spouse) defended free speech, some students wanted his head. One student wrote in a Yale Herald op-ed (now taken down): “He doesn’t get it. And I don’t want to debate. I want to talk about my pain.”

They can’t debate anymore. That requires logic. It’s all about them now. Their feelings. Their offense. Their pain. The Review has also deemed them Yale’s Idiot Children.

And what happens when large numbers of these delicate little flowers are set free to navigate their way through life? They feel unsafe and demand “safe spaces.” They feel threatened by uncomfortable ideas and demand “trigger warnings.” They might even want written rules or contracts to help them negotiate sexual relations.

In other words, this is the generation the mandarins of political correctness have been waiting for.

This tragedy is part of yet a greater tragedy in the making. As America’s young grow weaker, the world gets harder. There’s a lot of danger brewing out there – terrorists, welfare-driven migrations, economic upheaval, political machinations. If the darlings can’t stand the uncomfortable idea, they will never be capable of withstanding the uncomfortable action.

Things must change and quickly if an entire generation is not to be lost to whimpdom. They fate is bad enough. Worse, civilization may hang in the balance. Oops, didn’t mean to offend anyone by writing “hang.” Oops, wrote it again…

 

The New Normal?

I want to take a ride to the great divide
Beyond the “up to date” and the neo-gentrified
The high definition for the low resident
Where the value of your mind is not held in contempt
I can hear the sound of a beating heart
That bleeds beyond a system that’s falling apart
With money to burn on a minimum wage
I don’t give a shit about the modern age

I don’t wanna live in the modern world!
I don’t wanna live in the modern world!
I don’t wanna live in the modern world!
I don’t wanna live in the modern world!

– Green Day, American Eulogy, 2009.

What is happening to my beloved America?

Two days ago I wrote about the sizable cracks in the social/political/economic facade of my country. I found additional evidence yesterday which indicates we are headed for disaster, already having fallen off the cliff and just waiting for impact. All of this points to a coming cataclysm. But, what if it means something else? What if this, for now, at least, is the new normal?

Until the end of the twentieth century people lived, worked, earned and bought things. This buying perpetuated the working and earning. Very simple economics, micro and macro, really. Today things are a little different. People live but the manner and conditions have changed. Many work but do not earn enough to buy. Others are either cast into despair or paid not to work. Everything is paid in debt and/or fiat money.

The cost of the non-work alone is staggering. The current budget for the Social Security Administration alone is nearly $1 Trillion – about the equivalent of Ronald Reagan’s entire budget back in 1982. That’s over $6,000 for every job in the nation. When the great ponzi scheme tax was first foisted on the people, there were dozens of working taxpayers for each recipient. Soon, if things continue, those figures may be reversed. Can that continue?

SSA spending also includes, in addition to retirees, disability and other welfare payments. It’s a mechanism for buying off the unemployed. You likely know someone who collects a disability check, lives on it without working, but shows no signs of ailment. This trend and others like it (food stamps, etc.) are growing yearly. The new normal?

By and large, employment and the funny-money field economy have been “crapified.”

From the perspective of employees, the ‘crapification’ of jobs boils down to 1) low/stagnant wages for 2) highly structured, boring, repetitive and often difficult work. The decline in the quality, pay and upward mobility of jobs is directly related to the dynamics of globalization, financialization, and the surplus of ordinary labor and capital:

…

The reality is that humans can only be pushed to produce more if the tools they’re using become more productive.

The decline in jobs and job quality is having a serious and deleterious effect on society.

The underlying pathology is not hard to describe: employers (enabled by the Fed which has since the 1980s been only too wiling to provide for higher levels of unemployment so as to curb labor bargaining power to keep inflation tame) have succeeded in eliminating labor bargaining power. That program has been aided and abetted by the popularization of libertarian ideologies, which encourage many to see themselves as more in charge of their destiny than they are and thus see success and failure as the result of talent and work, as opposed to circumstance. For instance, one group that could have disproportionate power if they chose to use it, tech workers (particularly systems administrators and key support personnel in large systems deployments) have never seemed inclined to find a way to use it.

…

Many men, in particular, have decided that low-wage work will not improve their lives, in part because deep changes in American society have made it easier for them to live without working. These changes include the availability of federal disability benefits; the decline of marriage, which means fewer men provide for children; and the rise of the Internet, which has reduced the isolation of unemployment.

At the same time, it has become harder for men to find higher-paying jobs. Foreign competition and technological advances have eliminated many of the jobs in which high school graduates like Mr. Walsh once could earn $40 an hour, or more. The poll found that 85 percent of prime-age men without jobs do not have bachelor’s degrees. And 34 percent said they had criminal records, making it hard to find any work.

Is this what we want? For the elites it seems so. There is an old saying you tax something if you want less of it and you subsidize something if you want more of it. Outright taxes, inflation and regulatory costs are causing less employment and loss of employment choice and quality. At the same time the government, Banksters and corporations encourage more unemployment and dependence and subservience via welfare, off-shoring, immigration, and a host of bailouts for otherwise normal business operations.

This is all insane. It’s demeaning and destructive. The working man lives with a system that hates him and treats him worse than an animal. He toils at a job he doesn’t value. It provides him little value. His employer doesn’t value him. He stops valuing himself, his dignity, his family obligations and his place in civilized society. Micromanagement becomes macro-destruction.

This is the new normal? I hope and pray we can break free of these veritable chains before they drag us into a collective grave. I pray it happens sooner than later. If not, I don’t want to live in the modern world.

alligator, America, college, Constitution, race, students, stupidity

This morning’s coffee is struggling to power up my brain. So it is that my daily perusing of the news is a little off, maybe jaded.

For a few sleepy minutes I thought about commenting on this week’s university stupidity. I guess I just did… Missouri is having racial issues of unclear origin. Sad. At Yale, bastion of the vaunted Ivey League, students had difficulty with their own Halloween costumes. Very sad. Officials at Yale, Cornell, Syracuse, Vassar and Oberlin want to destroy Constitutionally protected rights. That may or may not have anything to do with costumes or racism. Pathetic.

I tire extra early this week of the same old American idiocy. You may look at the above links if you care.

Instead! I implore you to watch this cool video! It’s not everyday ones sees a giant alligator at Home Depot.

Channel 2, Houston.

A small, possibly insane woman wrestled down the magnificent 800 pound beast in a Houston suburb. Cue BOC’s Godzilla! With the help of a police officer, a dude(tte?) with a rope, and a forklift, the little lady got the dinosaur off to a new home far away from the annoying Christmas displays, lumber, and toilet parts of modern suburbia.

It’s a reminder that, despite the persnickety, ever offended higher “education” crowd, there are still some real Americans left. That, and some fable-worthy animals.

See you later, alligator!
