Many parents today are dismayed by what they see their school age children bringing home as the result of their public education. Further, they are astounded by the intellectual positions that their kids may have adopted due to the indoctrination in schools. (I'm speaking of genetics here, but further than that I will not go. That's a topic for another post). And those parents who may be inherently curious about what's being taught may be further astounded and, dare I say enraged, by what they may find just by doing a little research into what paradigms currently define the secondary scholastic education procedure.
One such paradigm being used as a base for Common Core is Constructivism, and is defined as encouraging students to use
active techniques (experiments, real-world problem solving)
to create more knowledge and then to reflect on and talk about
what they are doing and how their understanding is changing.
The teacher makes sure she understands the students' preexisting
conceptions, and guides the activity to address them and then
build on them. That's their definition verbatim. Is this a valid teaching methodology? What will be the result of this method twenty, thirty years out? The evidence so far would seem to conclusively point to the demise of individualism, and squarely to group think.
What happens when one denies the result of cause and effect in teaching methods? What happens when a teacher removes the concept of consequence of actions from the teaching equation? The answer is that students are free to discuss the relevancy their own preexisting experience and discuss others' notions, as well. There's no wrong answer, but no right answer, either. Peachy. I'm warm and fuzzy all over just writing about it.
The problem with Constructivism is that it doesn't take into consideration the affect of causality. It denies consequence. Let's discuss why the tomato plant didn't bear fruit. We'll fall back on our previous experiences we may have had when other plants died. We'll formulate a consensus that plants that don't bear fruit are still alive. We'll determine if - somewhere in the past - we've had an experience of barren fruit bearing plants. Stroking our chins, we'll revel in the fact that we're being very scientific and learned in our views. But we ignore the root rot the tomato plant has developed due to over watering, perhaps. Or the grub that's gnawing away on the root structure that we inadvertently imported in the soil. But we studiously deny a consequence to an observed truth.
If the effort were to promote and nurture critical thinking in our children's developing minds, this system fails. If the effort is to indoctrinate our kids into a non-individual group think, this system is a marvel.
Put another way, let's say we have a pet - a mature dog - who we love and adore. We have him in the house at night, although he prefers it outside where he can excel as guard dog of the family estate. And every night he urinates inside the house, on the wall, on a couch, on other select areas he's chosen. Every night he does this, even though he's given the opportunity to go outside to pee before being brought into the house. What do we do? Do we merely contemplate his motivation? Do we accept it as an inevitable result of pet ownership? Or do we take action to apply a consequence to an unwanted action? What if in this scenario the dog were a 10-year old child who had no control over her continence? Would we allow that behavior, or would we merely arrive at a communal consensus that, well, she doesn't really mean to do it, so we'll look the other way? And we hope she doesn't pee herself in public and embarrass the family name. But insanely, in either case, we withhold the application of consequence to that action or behavior.
So the educational system now in use has determined that, in its drive to withhold judgement of right or wrong, of good or bad, that a mutually arrived at group consensus is a superior method of problem solving than the traditional direct observation. Of cause and effect. Of consequence of action. And what is the result? We get corrupt and evil politicians like Hillary Clinton, who with the well known revelations of her corruption, sedition and insanity, avoid the consequences of actions and literally get away with murder. And we get an entire generation of intellectual snowflakes who can't think critically, and who seek refuge in "safe spaces" lest their tender sensibilities be assaulted.
And we get dogs that still pee in the house.

Street Fightin' Man
Half fighter, half diplomat |
Back in the day, the Rolling Stones bemoaned the fact that "in sleepy London Town there's just no place for a street fightin' man." Well, today in the US, there is a dire need for such a man. A man from Gotham, a brawler, a man who has the respect of the cuff-linked gents dining on the top floors, as well as those hard boys down on the street in the nitty gritty, and that man is Donald Trump.
He's a hero to some, a nuisance to others and a bane to many. But he is a man for his time, and that time is now. As the preponderance of undeniable evidence continues to pour forth, it's now clear that the United States is awash in political corruption not seen in a century or more. Both parties govern against the clear and stated will of the people, and foreign interests support this status quo for the enrichment of their few at the expense of our many. And media, whose job is to be a watchdog and expose exactly this kind of government and public corruption, are all in the tank for the bad guys. The American people, never gullible but many times slow to arouse, see clearly this tyrannical bastardization of the country's Constitution. They don't like it, but up until now have been powerless to stop it, or prevent it.
And even though, at the request of the opposition party, American voters delivered electoral majorities in both the House and Senate, the cancerous political and media corruption - far from being quelled - actually metastasized and expanded ever wider. The tyranny and corruption in government bodies go unchecked: IRS, FBI, DOJ, NSA, ICE, and others operate above and beyond the law, and do so with contempt of any oversight. The press condones it. And no one seems to be able to stop it.
Except for that New York street brawler. He comes at the exact moment he's needed. He challenges the entrenched powers that be, and tells the truth about the corruption in which those powers engage. He is the voters' man of the hour, and ironically so because no one really sat down and said, "You, know, what we need is a man of character, a successful and wealthy businessman, a guy who loves the country and the constitution, a political outsider, a man who cannot be bullied or intimidated, a guy who will hit back and not roll over. And, oh yeah, a guy who can kick ass with the best street fighters in the country."
And from the Grace of God comes Donald J. Trump. He is exactly what the American citizen voter has been waiting for. The established elite - and their foreign interest puppeteers - have never seen such a grassroots support of such a brash and aggressive outsider, and are not sure how to react. They're scared to death. So they are hell bent on destroying the messenger and his message. But their onslaughts get no traction. His popularity soars. Yet if they can just put down this little rebellion, they reassure themselves, the populace will go meekly and quietly into the submission their betters have planned for them.
But sadly for the elites, it's too late. The cat's out of the bag. There's no way the anger in flyover country can be assuaged. The voters are done with the corrupt and entrenched politics as usual, and if it comes to light that there were shenanigans involved on November 8th, well, it may be that we'll see a most uncivil war.

The Return Of Hate
Could it be that the American societal culture is becoming more aware of the damage done by political correctness, and they're beginning to reject it? Maybe folks are returning to an environment wherein one could speak his mind, openly and freely, and say what he really means. To call a spade a spade, perhaps? Or to call a corrupt crook a corrupt crook, not to put too fine a point on it. Dear Lord, I hope so. But the entrenched elites, panicking at the thought of being stripped of their censorship, call it hate speech. And if one speaks the truth, one is labeled a hater or any number of other pejoratives that the left can concoct.
For example, just today, a fourth member of Second City’s ETC revue quit after multiple occurrences of offensive behavior from audiences. Someone named Peter Kim told WBBM that audiences in Chicago and elsewhere across the
country where he has toured, seem to feel emboldened by the
no-holds-bars, speak-your-mind style of Donald Trump. “I really think he gave people carte blanche to act and behave hateful,” Kim said. Hateful? Because your humor degrades and offends most people, it must be hate?
Unbelievable. So a talent-challenged comedian, raised on jokes made at the expense of most hardworking Americans, is upset and quits his job because of audiences finally essentially booing him offstage. The left has had carte blanche opportunity to make fun of, and laugh at, mock and ridicule regular people for decades. Now that real folks are pushing back, this little snowflake and.his bed wetting compatriots are in high dudgeon. Poor things.
So the demise of political correctness has begun, in one sense because Mr. Trump has demonstrated how to do it. And good for him. It's about damn time.

Time To Drain The Swamp
Yes, geographically Washington DC is essentially built in a swamp, but I'm referring to another kind of slime and sludge that grows, reproduces and finally clogs stagnant waterways. To wit: politicians, lobbyists, and the compliant press corps. Especially as it defines Washington DC. Mr. Trump knows what most everyday average working Americans know: it's time to drain that swamp.
Now that Janus, the two-faced Roman god of beginnings and ends, has reveled himself in the embodiment of John McCain, Paul Ryan and other RINOs, DJT has declared that the shackles are finally off him, and he's free to campaign the way he wants to: against Washington and the propagandists in media. Translated, that means he doesn't have to act the sissified, gutless, malleable Republican candidate the GOP wants him to be.
Remember after the primary debates when all the RINOs wet themselves and stamped their feet until Trump signed that "loyalty pledge?" Where are they now that Trump is winning big, those lying two-faced basturds?? They demanded then that Trump kowtow to their pitiful mindset, never imagining the wave of support he would receive from patriotic Americans. But now that the tables are turned, and he is far more popular and has more support from the American people than does the castrated, emasculated congress, they now bail on him. Throw him over the transom. What loyalty pledge, they ask.
Regarding, John McCain, I guess 5 years at the Hanoi Hilton took all the testosterone out of that poor ol' fighter pilot. I am truly sorry to have to say that out loud. Ryan, on the other hand, is merely a self serving pussy who shats himself every time he's confronted. He has no core beliefs, and certainly no honor. Loyalty? Me?
So yes, it's the entire Washington corruption syndrome - Dems, RINOs and propagandists alike - that Americans are fed up with, and they're just not gonna take it any more. And it's the entire entrenched Washington DC collective slime that clogs our republic, the greatest nation on Earth, and prevents us from being who we are.
When you're up to your ass in alligators, it's easy to forget that the initial objective was to drain the swamp. Thomas Jefferson alluded to draining the swamp two centuries ago, as did Ronald Reagan just a few decades ago.
It's now way past time to drain the swamp. And thanks to The Donald and with the help and support of the American people, it'll get done this time.

Can GEMS Rig The Election?
No hanging chads |
Once again, terror and suspense hound this election cycle. The stakes in this presidential race couldn't be higher. Both parties are completely in the anti-sovereign globalist tank, and worse, there's a pesky populist who has earned the people's trust and is eating their lunch and cleaning their clocks. Given that background, conspiracy theorists everywhere worry that some unforeseen event will throw the election to the status quo in direct opposition to the popular will, or that the election will be manipulated electronically.
Whew! Scary stuff if true. But it is plausible. In fact, in this writer's view it's very likely there will be some shenanigans occurring within the next 100 days. Think about current events that could spiral out of control and interfere with the November election:
The Battle for Syria has the US and Russia conducting a proxy war involving ISIS Sunni Muslims fighting against Assad's Syrian government, which is rapidly becoming less and less proxy and may escalate into World War III;
George Soros, billionaire Jewish hedge fund manager, is funding and driving the mass migration of Muslim terrorists into every western nation, causing crime and chaos, in an attempt to destabilize the West;
The manufactured erosion of race relations, also a Soros funding project and manifested as Black Lives Matter, could instigate riots that could easily shut down poling places, just as the Black Panthers did in Philadelphia in 2008;
Hillary could pass away from her disease(s) and throw the democratic candidacy into panic and chaos, postponing the election;
The Kenyan could simply illegally declare martial law and halt the process indefinitely, declaring himself president at large.
But we're speculating, of course. Anything could happen. Or not. Throwing this election could simply be left to the unfeeling algorithms embedded in the vote counting software that's used in electronic balloting. Now that is a real and present danger, as it is used statewide in Alaska, Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, New Hampshire,
Utah and Vermont, and for certain counties in Arizona, California, Colorado,
Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia,
Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. It's also used in Canada, which explains Trudeau's unlikely election.
I'm referring to GEMS (Global Election Management System), a software vote counting system that allows votes to be "fractionalized." Yep, a single vote could be counted as "1", but another vote may also be counted as some other non-whole integer, like "1 3/4", or even "5/8". How cool is that? The results of a May 2016 study by Bev Harris (see link) demonstrate that a fractional vote feature is
embedded in each GEMS application which can be used to invisibly - yet
radically - alter election outcomes by pre-setting desired vote
percentages to redistribute votes. This tampering is not visible to
election observers, even if they are standing in the room and watching
the computer. Use of the decimalized vote feature is unlikely to be
detected by auditing or canvass procedures, and can be applied across
large jurisdictions in less than 60 seconds.
Why would software designers include an algorithm such as this that can be manipulated in this way? There is only one reason, and that reason is pretty friggin' clear. We may wake up on November 9th and realize to our horror that the United States, as we know it, no longer exists. The uncertainty is that if HRC wins, it will most likely be the result of vote tampering. If DJT wins, there will be an adverse reaction on the left that may be unprecedented in modern times. Either way, the ride undoubtedly will be bumpy if not downright exciting.
Just remember the prepper's creed: Bullets, Beans and Band-Aids. And water. See you at the polls.

It's Just How Guys Talk
Yawn. So what. I'm so bored with all the hype being generated around the so-called scandal about what crude thing Donald Trump may have said a decade ago. It was a crude remark to be sure, but it was nothing more of a scandal than any male in the world has said, or will say in the future. It's just an example of how guys talk to each other, and has nothing whatever to do with politically correct feminism. Let's see if there may be other notable hot mic quotes from high ranking, educated and sophisticated males in the political arena to determine if DJT's comments is any big deal.
Barack Hussein Obama, from his own book Dreams of My Father:
Lyndon Baines Johnson, on Air Force One:
“Gotta Have Them Ribs and Pussy”
Lyndon Baines Johnson, on Air Force One:
“I’ll have them niggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years”
William Jefferson (Bill) Clinton to Ted Kennedy, referring to Barack Hussein Obama:
"A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee."
William Jefferson (Bill) Clinton, to Gennifer Flowers:
"Hell, Hillary's eaten more pussy than I have."
William Jefferson (Bill) Clinton, to Juanita Broaddrick:
"You better put some ice on that."
Colin Powell:
"Bill's still dicking bimbos in Chappaqua."
Fredrick Nietzche (sure to make feminists howl with rage if applied to HRC)"
“When a woman turns to scholarship there is usually something wrong with her sexual apparatus”
Gore Vidal:
"I really don’t give a fuck. Look, am I going to sit and weep every time a
young hooker feels as though she’s been taken advantage of?"
Norman Mailer:
"A little bit of rape is good for a man’s soul."
Charles Bukowski:
"Don’t wait for the good woman. She doesn’t exist. The female
loves to play man against man, and if she is in a position to do it
there is not one who will not resist. The male, for all his bravado and
exploration, is the loyal one, the one who generally feels love. The
female is skilled at betrayal. and torture and damnation. Never envy a
man his lady. Behind it all lays a living hell."
Mae West:
"A hard man is good to find." (Yeah, chicks can be rough and talk sex, too.)
Anthony Wiener:
Well, that was a photo from his alter ego, Carlos Danger, rather than a quote, actually. But a picture can speak a thousand words.
That's just a few. Look, guys on all sides of the political spectrum talk rough. They talk sexist. All of them. Every one. Including the castrati hacks who gasp and clutch their pearls at the very notion of rough sex talk. They lie. They talk shit, too. So everyone should just get over it and consider where our now pussified country and society is headed.
The alpha male should be admired and lauded, not diminished as a mere anachronism left over from a feminist misandrist food fest. These quotes above show that the male spirit is alive and well, and hot mic or not, will always be the dominant spirit. It's just who we are as men; it's not a scandal.
And we're rough and talk sex.

IRS: America's Enemy
IRS: A burden on American Taxpayers |
The federal government is so corrupt that almost everything that comes from it is neither believed nor found shocking. I refer of course to the latest revelations by the Internal Revenue Service that Donald Trump didn't pay income taxes. The leak was to the New York Times. Records that were illegally obtained. And legally private. And disseminated anonymously. Of course some hack at the IRS would try to illegally leak the confidential income tax information of an American taxpayer to the vicious NYT for the sole purpose to destroy a political adversary. So what's new? The weaponized IRS has been at war - yes war - with Christian, conservative and anti-establishment American taxpayers for years. When caught in the act of denying tax exempt status to Christian and/or patriot groups, the corrupt overloads everywhere in the federal government just shrug. These folks are the enemy, the IRS and department heads tell us, and deserve no quarter. The enemy of the statists' status quo, that is.
This is a lame replay of Harry Reid's accusation - unverified and untrue -
that Mitt Romney paid no tax during the 2012 campaign. Well, it worked
that time. But Trump isn't Romney. Power is addictive, and the statists who run our once free republican system of government are bound and determined to hold on to it in any way they can. And they do. And the IRS certainly helps them do that. So Trump had some losses years ago, and paid no income tax because he had no taxable income. Horrors. Yet the NYT itself paid no tax in some years, and they actually showed a windfall after-tax profit. Double standard. As always. Even HRC paid no tax in certain years, because the tax code allows for deductions from stated income for losses, expenses, bribes and graft, and God knows what else.
But the NYT story today is Trump Pays No Tax!, when it should be Trump Legally Avoids Excessive Confiscatory Taxation. But of course it isn't. Every American who has ever been audited or has had dealings with the IRS knows the true story of its methods and ideology. And most Americans despise and fear it, and deservedly so. That's why every attempt to change, overhaul or reform the existing tax structure has met with failure. The current code is unwieldly and literally no one knows the whole of it, and within that behemoth lies the statists' power over American citizens: the tax code says what we say it says.
So while the NYT tries to make hay out of this nonissue - hoping it to be the October surprise no doubt - it falls flat like everything else the statists have tired. Meanwhile, HRC's self enrichment, anti-American corruption and treason continue to come to light, and ever so slowly the party bosses know the Democrat goose is cooked. If the democrats ever want a place at the governance table again, they had better throw HRC - and her so called foundation - over the transom and be quick about it.
If they don't, Julian Assange certainly will. Bet on it.

Reverse Hypochondria
Most medical doctors in the west are acutely aware of the medical condition hypochondria and its impact on certain patients. Many consider it to be a manifestation of psychosomatic conditioning. Regardless, the affect on the patient is the same: if he thinks he's sick, he will be sick. Most of us know at least one such person. They always complain about their health, and they always seem to be down with something or other. Some folks deride the whole mind-over-body notion, holding onto western medicine's hyper-focused technological physical diagnosis, and ultimately its prognosis as well. And it seems that western medicine's prognosis is always drug related. I'm not slamming drugs, but Americans sure do take a boat load of them. Is it really necessary?
A few doctors I know and some others I've read are beginning to put more credence into what is called holistic medicine. Holistic medicine is defined as the applied consideration of the complete person, physically, psychologically,
socially, and spiritually, in the management and prevention of disease. Wellness maintenance, as it were. A practitioner in this discipline would need to be well versed in medicine, psychology and metaphysics, and would treat a patient giving equal consideration to body, mind and spirit. Sounds very much like another Trilogy we've heard of, doesn't it? And as many western doctors are becoming more aware of the genesis of dis-ease, they have to make their diagnoses on more than just the physical body. Just one hypothetical example would be a heart patient who is otherwise healthy and active. But in further examination, the doctor finds the patient's home life is chaotic and stressful. How would he treat this patient when he knows the patient will return to the very environment that is making him sick? If the patient were a smoker, the doctor would strongly advise against smoking. But what can he do in this case? He would advise the patient of his condition, of course, but moreover would also advise the patient to treat the cause of the situation, as he would treat the affect of the condition. Simple in concept, yet challenging in solution.
Let's take it a step further. Suppose said heart patient were advised that he could think - or imagine - himself well. Most doctors I know, when presented with this as a solution, will take a deep breath and allow that, well, it can't hurt. But the same doctor will acknowledge hypochondria as having a legitimate impact on health and well being. Why acknowledge one, but not the other? Both are the result of the impact the mind can have over the body. One of many treatments within holistic health is creative visualization. Creative visualization has been used effectively for millennia. It just takes application, and oh, yeah, a firm belief that it works. The patient simply imagines his condition, and then imagines a solution. The images he creates in his mind don't have to be accurate - they can even be cartoonish - but they have to be done within a relaxed, comfortable and calm state of mind.
In my experience I have seen a marvelous turn around in more than a few serious medical conditions in others to whom I have applied this method. I know absolutely that this method of healing works, when done properly. There are several disciplines out there that can be applied, but the path to wellness is not as important as achieving it. If this interests you, search for a solution that fits your needs and belief system. It's certainly worth it.
So if hypochondria is a real self-imposed sickness, wouldn't the reverse of hypochondria be real self-imposed wellness? Never doubt the power of your own mind, but be aware as to how you use it.

Internet Surrender
UN bureaucracy on steroids |
In two days, on October 1st, oversight and control of ICANN will no longer be conducted by the United States. That means the Internet will be controlled by foreign governments free to impose whatever restrictions they wish on its use. When we learn that even democratic German government pressured Zuckenberg to censor - that means delete - 100,000 posts on Facebook that were essentially anti-Muslim invasion, we have seen what's in store of us, and the true future of the Internet. Imagine Iran, Saudi Arabia, China or North Korea telling us Internet users what we may say - and what we can't. Freedom of expression? Gone. Anti-government, anti-Muslim viewpoints? Gone. Breitbart, Drudge, Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage, Alex Jones, every Christian conservative blogger like yours truly? Gone. Enterprise sites like Gander Mountain, Gun Broker and others? Gone. Even advocacy sites like RNC, NRA, GOA, and scores of others? Gone.
What's to be done? Failing congress stopping this - which is laughably unlikely - let's look to American history to determine a course of action.
When the British became dictatorial and oppressive in the American colonies, the minutemen took them on and killed them.
When the Barbary pirates raided US and international shipping off the coast of northeast Africa, the US Marines came in and killed them.
When Pancho Villa's gang raided and terrorized the southwest US territories, General Pershing went in and killed them.
When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, the US Navy chased them back across the Pacific and killed them.
When whistle blowers tried to expose the Clinton Crime Machine, someone came in and killed them.
When the Soros backed globalists bought a US presidency and spent eight years trying to crush the constitution and freedoms in the US, . . . . . . the end of that story hasn't been written.
Yet.

Round 1: Who Won?
Poles apart politically |
The much anticipated first 2016 presidential debate is thankfully over, and it all went very nicely to script. We did learn three things: that Hillary seems to be still among the living, that Lester Holt has kept his part of the bargain and will likely remain alive for the short term; and that Donald Trump can endure the vicious ad hominem attacks that passes for debate in the small minds of the Clinton campaign.
After eleven days of intense and private debate preparation - and most probably with the help of concealed intravenous drip medication - HRC seemed to be back on her game of deceit, misinformation, disinformation and well, outright lies. In assuring her audience that she was indeed alive, she came across as smug, arrogant, hard and highly condescending. That school yard ploy of constantly referring to Mr. Trump by only his first name was so obviously childish that it was embarrassing to the adults in the room. She was coached, scripted and ready to lie. I watched with care to see if she could remain conscious for a full hour and a half while standing upright, and remember her lame DC two-step talking points. She did manage to stay vertical, but several times during the debate, roughly every twenty-five minutes or so, she seemed to falter. Her face appeared haggard and strained, her voice became forced and monotonic, her movements slowed and posture slumped, and she seemed to struggle to verbally articulate her point. Then the IV drip would kick in, and she'd be back to the overbearing harpy she really is. Oh, and the shimmy. Her animated response to one of Trump's observations went on for just a smidgen longer than necessary. Involuntary neurological short circuit? Or a planned middle finger gesture mocking those who have questioned her health?
For the Donald, it appeared that he was determined to maintain an adult, respectful and professional demeanor. He could have ripped her lungs out by factually refuting each and every one of her lies - er, replies - to the leading and heavily weighted in her favor questions from the moderator. But he didn't. He let her show the entire world that she had nothing to offer but the continuation of hard left totalitarian ideas and goals that the Kenyan has implemented. He let her show the whole world that she was condescending, spiteful and vicious. And like a refined gentleman he endured ninety-plus minutes of her sustained ad hominem attacks. And he allowed her to put him on the defensive, personally. The world witnessed that her team must have spent a considerable amount of time digging up anything they could find on him, and he let them bring it forward. Some accusations didn't warrant a response; but some required DJT to acknowledge them and set the record straight. He nailed her on several points, her lack of ethics and race specifically, eliciting thunderous applause from the audience. He raised some more pertinent points regarding her "experience"; the political and leadership vacuum left in the middle east that gave rise to ISIS; the treason of selling and exposing state secrets including the exposure of names of covert assets around the globe, and most importantly he hammered her on the fact that the issues she claims to be able to fix are the very threats she herself has fomented during her decades long tenure in public service.
Of course, it was well documented that the HRC campaign literally required the fawning CNN apparatchik to "fact check" DJT's comments, and essentially act as a third debater. Lester Holt let it go until the last half hour of the televised debate, but then added commentary and framed his questions so as to support HRC's positions. Certainly Trump knew he would be doubled teamed and attacked from both sides, but he agreed to come on the Clinton News Network in the first place. It didn't seem to faze him, however, and made the contrast between his demeanor and hers even more glaring.
So who won the debate? I doubt if any HRC and DJT supporters' minds were changed. But polls show that undecideds have come over into the light. They see a dire need for effective policies of national security, stopping government spying and overreach, stemming unchecked immigration, and creating and sustaining real jobs. Notwithstanding the constant drumbeat of propaganda emanating from the White House, real Americans know they are NOT better off than they were four, or even eight, years ago. And they know those rosy reports of recovery and job growth are certainly not evident in their neighborhoods or communities. They know they're being played. The Democrat party and its compliant media have pulled out all the stops to win this election and continue to fully move America into state controlled government. The people, on the other hand, see through this power grab, and as Hirohito, the emperor of Japan, said of the US in 1941 after his navy bombed Pearl Harbor, "I'm afraid all we've done is to awaken a sleeping giant." That's the appeal of DJT and other leaders around the world who see the Orwellian dangers inherent in globalism. They've awakened a sleeping giant. People everywhere reject the the homogenized multiculturalism being shoved down their throats. They want their communities, their tribes, their heritage and their nations to stay uniquely as they are.
So who won? The American people won last night. And that doesn't bode well for the globalists.

Gray Band Matters
Zuck's Jewish worship of the Islamist |
Late last month I posted an article about why US control of the Internet matters, and a few days later another post about censorship and free markets. These opinions sought to address the dangers of our dependency on the internet for everything from news to advocacy, and their susceptibility to outside control and censorship. As we rely on something it becomes important to us. And that makes it a target for our enemies to take it away from us. If they can. And if they can, they will.
So that's exactly what the Kenyan and his useful idiot sycophants in the tech industry have in mind for us. In ten days, barring any disruption from congress, the Kenyan will implement yet another lawless and unconstitutional act deliberately intended to silence dissent of his fascist ambitions. He will cede ICANN's control and monitoring of the Internet to the anti-American members of the United Nations. Facebook and Twitter and others have already been exposed as having a pro-Kenyan, anti-white/Christian/conservative bent, but no matter. Those racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic voices deserve to be silenced anyway, don't they? Be still, all you voices on the right!
Yet in an amazing juxtaposition, the very day that well known internet blogger and devotee Andrew Sullivan repents his addiction to the internet, recognizing it as the dehumanizing monkey on the back that it has become for many people, Google announces a yet another project that will increase censorship on the Internet. Enter Jigsaw. Even the now far-left tech magazine Wired is uncharacteristically cautious about this new troll tool. That's how they're selling it, according the the Jew who runs the project, one Jared Cohen, whose involvement with other nefarious and unworkable schemes like Haystack is worthy of note. Haystack attempted to provide undetectable cover for Iranian terrorists, but unintended consequences proved just the opposite. When asked if Jigsaw - designed to interpret harassing comments, presumably to "warn" or "caution" the offending user - would surely include silencing positive speech as a false positive, Cohen responded in typical totalitarian fashion that collateral damage is acceptable in identifying and silencing the opposition. Well, ain't that special?
So we internet users are faced with more censorship from our own people, guaranteed hostility from enemy nations, all the while knowing that we need to purge ourselves of this dehumanizing high tech, digital information overload. Whoa. And I thought spousal relationships were vexatious!
But wait.
One 10m SSB mobile radio |
History shows when a thing is suppressed, it just goes underground. That said, if the powers that be be - I'm talking about globalists here - want control of high tech, fine, the voice of freedom will go low tech. Like verbal communication. Like the written word - on paper. Imagine having a face to face discussion with someone! Or sending someone a letter. Or for greater reach, consider that 10 meter band two way radios are readily available and aren't the focus of government or quasi government scrutiny. For use of frequencies above 27.405 kilohertz you are required to have a federal FCC license; that's a ham radio license. But that bandwidth above CB channel 40 and below channel 1 is known as the gray band. Purchasing a radio is an investment, but it's less money than buying a computer with a subscription to an internet provider. You'll need a good quality 10 meter "import" radio - they have channels above and below the CB range - and a good antenna and power supply. Most of these will have CB channels in them out of the box, but some don't. You can have base station or a mobile unit in your car or truck. I'd recommend a single sideband radio as well. They talk further and triple the channel selections. Many folks are already on the air, and help and tips are readily available.
You know by now that everything you do on the Internet is monitored. Everything you type, and everything you search is recorded. You're already categorized and labeled. Liberal, moderate, conservative. Friendly or threat. But even a conversation on a legal or barely legal wavelength is traceable, to be sure, but is relatively unlikely. For now.
So here's a new dog whistle if you despise this sell out, and want your voice back: Gray Band Matters.
