Prediction

 We heard this morning that Putin's Wagner army has turned on him and is now advancing to Moscow.  To  me, a plausible but unproven scenario is that this was planned in advance in collusion with the United States military.  We gave up the stragegic central Asian position of Afghanistan planning to take the much more strategic position of Russia.  The plan was to wear down Putin and perhaps cause a rebellion that we could leverage to take control.  We have one now.

Last week NPR and other deep-state friendly news outlets were repeating a story that Putin would use nuclear weapons if he had to.  It is possible that Putin cannot stop the Wagner rebels from reaching Moscow.  They are battle hardened and acting quickly.  But, he always has the option of using a tactical nuclear weapon to annhilate the army.  How will NATO react to this?  Russia is relatively weak and is spread thin across the continent.  NATO forces may overrun him before he can act again.

What I Know and What I Believe

I don't know if the World Economic Forum is in the process of engineering neo-feudalism and de-population as some claim.  Or if it is just the massive general corruption of our government responsible for the sweeping changes being forced upon us.  But I do know, to the best of my ability to know any fact, is that what is being promulgated by the elites in the world is patently false.  

It is clear that we are engaged in an ideological war.  Academia, the media, the government and most big corporations have gone woke and a multitude of common people have followed them, while an opposing faction is ringing the alarm.  Many of the things we value are being eroded by people actively attacking what has made this nation strong and has made it a land of opportunity for millions of immigrants.  They claim that it is in the name of social justice and they have some legitimate  arguments, but there is such a thing as throwing the baby out with the bathwater.  

Since I see this as a war for individual freedom and for the survival of our country, I thought I should set down where I stand on fundamental issues:

• I believe in truth.  Although men seldom know the whole truth, they do know when they are lying.  That means I am fundamentally against the use of propaganda, or the manipulation of the people for any purpose.

• I believe that we are either male or female from birth.                                                                   So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

• I am against government corruption.  Government officials serve the nation and the people and are given great power to do so.  When they begin to serve themselves, it is a time for revolution.

• I am for the Constitution as a form of government that insures public participation and protects the rights of individuals.

• I am against cruelty, either emotional cruelty or physical cruelty for any reason.

• I am for a strong defense.  I do not believe in an expansionist foreign policy, but in preparedness to fight any foe and to win.

• I believe in the ideal form of capitalism where there is a free exchange of goods and services resulting in the greatest good for all.  

• I believe in open and free discussion of all topics and viewpoints.  It is in discussion and argument that we learn and grow.

• I believe in equality of opportunity, but not forced equality of outcome.

• I am Christian.  I believe that Jesus Christ was God made man and is the key to our redemption from sin and death.

The essence of the opposition seems to be:

•  Group Identity is paramount
• Christianity is the embodiment of Evil.
• The world is divided between oppressed groups and oppressors. 
• White males are the apex oppressors, only confession and repentance can save them.
•  Gender is fluid.
• Man is a curse on the planet.
• The United States is racist to its core and irredeemable in its current structure.
• The nuclear family is toxic.

 

The Connection

  There are many ways to build and control what could be classified as a proletariat society, and all of them require the elimination of the individual. Marx’s words and ‘beliefs’ bear this out in no uncertain terms. In today’s world, most all efforts to destroy independent thought, normal or considered natural behavior, tradition, family, and honest history, are steeped in Neo-Marxist techniques, which cause unlimited division, hatred, antagonistic existence, and a tearing down and elimination of all past history and moral beliefs. This is the state of affairs in the U.S. today, as total chaos has come to the forefront due not to proper anarchical principles which are based on individual freedom, but due to Neo-Marxist and communistic ideology advanced through psychological and aggressive means, and supported by the ruling class.

 Here are a some articles that make a clear connection between Marxist ideology and the events we see happening today.

The State of the Nation

 The United States government has been colonized by grifters.  In today's raid on Mar a Lago, we are witnessing the poorly veiled power struggle over the control of billions of dollars in taxpayer wealth.  They are not "saving our democracy" but devouring the remains of it.

Discrimination and Disparities by Thomas Sowell

  Discrimination and Disparities by Tomas Sowell. 

I just finished reading Thomas Sowell's book Discrimination and Disparities.  It is the second book I have read by this author; the first was Basic Economics.  I would recommend them both.          

The main theme of this book is that disparities among people groups arise from many reasons.  He argues that malevolent discrimination exists but is by no means the only or even the dominant factor creating disparities in wealth, and position in society.  The book is filled with scholarly references which include examples from history and statistical analyses going back a century.  

Thomas Sowell, is one of the leading intellectuals in America today, and one of the few not parroting Neo-Marxist  ideology. He writes in a measured, deliberate, non-ideological style, once the standard in the best American academic writing.   Much of what he writes flies in the face of mainstream thinking about discrimination.  He points out that some of the most successful people groups have been those most discriminated against such as the Chinese in Malaysia, the Jews in Europe and the Indians in Uganda.   He refutes both those who say that the level of performance in a society is due to innate genetics and those who say it is due to prejudicial treatment.  Instead he goes through the multiple factors that lead to success or failure, including geography, culture, and incentives and disincentives to work and achieve built into a society.  He points out that Black American families went from 80% one parent families in the 1940s to 40% in the 1990s, and he lays the blame squarely on the the revamped welfare system design supposedly to help them that was put in place in the 1960s.  He writes that people have always sorted themselves into groups based on commonalities, and no society  has ever produced a system where all groups are represented equally in all places in the economy.  

This book will make you take a second look at things you never questioned before.

Technocracy Rising

 

Review of  Technocracy Rising; The Trojan Horse of Global Transformation by Patrick Wood, Coherent Publishing, Mesa AZ, 2015. 

You might call this book the ultimate in conspiracy theories.  It lays out the ideology and the people behind a movement to take over the world.  And, as far -fetched as it seems, it does make a case that sheds light on a multitude of seemingly unrelated changes we see happening in our society.  The name of the ideology is Technocracy and the people behind it are powerful people in business and government from many countries. 

The essence of technocracy is that technicians and engineers will make all the decisions based on their specialized knowledge.  It is anti-religious, and materialistic.  It believes that science can engineer people to be healthier and to live longer.  It believes in directed evolution.  It is globalistic and anti-democratic, anti nation state, and it believes that regulations over our daily lives should supersede outdated laws like the Constitution.

It was troubling to learn how many prominent leaders in the world are and have been in the World Economic Forum, which the author strongly links to the ideology of Technocracy and troubling also that the author can track the rise of this ideology from beginnings as long ago as the 17^th century. 

There is a subtle element of Christian eschatology in the book.  In the 1970s many Christians believed that Armageddon and ‘one world government’ was about to begin.  That fear faded as nothing panned out.  The Russians did not bring Armageddon as predicted and no AntiChrist rose up cheered on by the masses. But in this book we can see the real possibility of one world government coming to pass, enabled by quantum leaps in technology. And we can see that it is totalitarian and anti-human.

 

I was against the border wall, the trade war, the killing of Soleimani, the war on the Houthis, the pouting and the posing, but I still voted for Trump this past election.  I voted against a government of carpet-baggers knocking over small countries and then sending in their friends and relatives to ransack the place. I voted against draining the national wealth for endless war.  I voted against outright lies of Russian collusion repeated endlessly by politicians and the news media.  I voted against the FBI colluding with the DNC to undermine a political opponent.  I voted against the false, destructive ideology of critical race theory.  I voted against the economy-choking regulatory expansion.  I voted against the casual attitude towards life in the womb.

Donald Trump stood up to 4 years of opposition, and propaganda.  He appointed good people to the head the bureaucracies and for the judiciary, he cut regulation, reinvigorated the moribund economy, brought business back into the country, stopped the out-flow of technology, resisted the loss of industry. His legacy is a mixed one, like all presidents and all leaders making myriad, controversial decisions.   Donald Trump was the last gasp of populism and the nationalistic ideology that built this country.  We are heading full speed into an ideological shift that will change this country and the world.  It is globalist, elitist, technocratic and totalitarian.  There were flaws in the old system, but the new system will be hell on earth.
