The Morning Report - 3/29/21 [J.J. Sefton]

Meinkendi.jpg

Good morning, kids. Monday and while the big story is the junta in D.C. effectively erasing our southern border with potentially millions of Latin American peasants, hardly literate in their native tongues let alone English, on track to join the upwards of 30 million who are already here. And I'm not even going to speculate about the number of "fellow travelers" so to speak of the Boulder, CO jihadist (whose motives of course the media and government assure us we may never know [sarc]), who if we're lucky are armed only with guns or an airliner or two, and not suitcase nukes or a few vials of Wuhan No. 5.

While the propagandists reading from Piss-Hockey Psaki's hymnal either cackle "Crisis? What crisis?" or else blame President-in-Exile Trump for the utter human misery and squalor on the Rio Grande, the few actual journalists and even a United States Senator, Ted Cruz, are being barred from the facilities housing the migrant invading hordes and reporting the facts. We all know what the endgame is here: instant citizenship as well as Democrat Party voter registration for millions of destitute people reliant on the government - forever. Funny how the Democrats, and their equally guilty co-conspirators in the GOP-e, have no problems in wiping out whole sectors of our economy (heavy industry, energy production as well as small business via onerous taxation and regulation) and putting millions of actual Americans out of work and on the dole, yet welcome a tidal wave of millions of foreigners who we are told will boost our economy. I don't claim to be a Nobel Prize winning economist, but how when we are in the process of de-industrializing our economy and sending wages plunging and good paying jobs and careers offshore forever does adding millions more to our population competing for jobs that either no longer exist or they lack the skills to do going to create prosperity and growth? Spoiler alert: It won't. It will collapse us into a quivering mass of Cloward and Piven.

For those not aware, the Cloward-Piven Strategy was cooked up in the mid-60s by two crackpot Marxist faculty lounge denizens Richard Cloward and his concubine Frances Fox Piven in which they imagined overwhelming the welfare state with so much debt that in the wake of the chaos caused by the inevitable collapse of our economy and society, the elite (naturally they were looking in the mirror) would rise to lead the Marxist-Leninist socialist utopia; one that never would have had a chance in a prosperous, free market American society. You see, free market capitalism is so false, evil and corrupt that it will eventually collapse in on itself. See: Berlin Wall 1989 and Moscow 1990 as proof. The good news, at least for Cloward, Piven and the psychos on the Left is that in 2021, we are definitely heading at warp speed (no pun) to economic and societal collapse. Yet, as Oscar Wilde once quipped, "There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." What happens after the fall may not turn out as they expect. Not with upwards of 200 million citizens of the nation formerly known as the United States armed to the teeth. And that brings us to the second big story, one that is not merely a news item but an ongoing historical event that we are living through and directly in its crosshairs: the transformation not only into a socialist state but one controlled by a ruthless, totalitarian regime hell bent on crushing anyone who resists.

The key to disarming two thirds of the population is to disrupt and prevent any means of communication and organization. The Enemy Junta has already stolen a national election and in the likely event that this HR-1 "For the People" travesty passes, they will have effectively legalized election rigging forever. Along with the demonization of whites, conservatives, Trump voters, Judeo-Christian and anyone else who supports America as founded, anyone who objects to this new world order is to be labeled as "insurrectionist" and dealt with via one or more of the arms of the hydra that is the State.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is now getting ready to hire public companies, individual contractors outside government, to scour public data and social media in order to provide information for the new "domestic terror watch lists." From the description it appears DHS is going to pay "big tech" (Google, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, SnapChat, Twitter, etc.), via contracts, to hire and organize internal monitoring teams to assist the government by sending information on citizens they deem "dangerous."

Gee, what could possibly go wrong with this?...

NBC is reporting on these new developments as the U.S. intelligence apparatus is preparing to go live with the assembly of lists of Americans who "could be" potential threats to the government; and need to be watched.

However, even NBC is beginning to realize the consequences:

"DHS planning to expand relationships with companies that scour public data for intelligence and to better harness the vast trove of data it already collects on Americans. The department is also contemplating changes to its terrorist watch listing process."

Expand your thinking to what was initiated with the COVID model for "contact tracing" and you can quickly see how physical proximity to a rogue dissident, a person with wrong thoughts -- aka a domestic extremist, can result in you being labeled along with that dissident... and you are on the list. Then overlay the efforts of Big Tech to assist the administrative state with an electronic trail of your habits, contacts, phone calls, text messages and internet patterns... and you are on the list.

Demonization of political opponents? Rewriting of history to fit a preferred narrative? Staging a Reichstag Fire on January 6th and then declaring the aforementioned "insurrectionsists" and "a threat to our democracy?" If the hairs on the back of your neck are not standing up, then you're lying in state like John McCain.

I recently wrote a column wherein I accused the American Left and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Democrat party, of using Fascist or Nazi tactics in their determination to permanently transform the nation into a one-party hybrid socialist state by exploiting nonexistent "systemic racism" and baseless fears of "white supremacy." This characterization did not set well with the gullible and self-righteous Democrat voters I know or those who contacted me. They, rather vociferously, claimed that the utilization of Nazi tactics only applies to the American right and that they, the left, are only motivated by caring for the people.

However, any thoughtful and unemotional examination of the tactics the Nazi Party used to gain and maintain power in the 1920's and 30's will reveal numerous stark similarities to those being used by the left and the Democrat Party today...

...This list of parallels between the Nazi Party and the American left cannot be ignored. These wannabe autocrats, in a de facto admission, try to obfuscate their adoption of Nazi tactics by shamelessly claiming that it is the American right or conservatives that have embraced the Nazis. Yet the right has not utilized or espoused any Nazi tactics in their quest for political office.

While it goes without saying that I am not insinuating that the American left and the Democrat Party has the objective of imposing worldwide dominance via a horrific world war or emulating the horrors of the Holocaust, it must be acknowledged that there are important commonalities. The manner in which a small fringe far-left socialist party was able to rise to power and how the left in America is emulating it should frighten all Americans.

With deference to the author, Steve McCann, I'll not only insinuate it, I'll outright declare it. If in order to achieve socialist/communist utopian paradise on earth, the Left will kill and kill massively to do it. If you think this bunch of braying jackasses aren't up for it, listen and heed the words of the late Larry Grathwohl who attended a meeting of the Weathermen way back when. A guy named Bill Ayers, who Obama assures us was just some guy who lived down the street from him in Hyde Park, stated that when they seized power, upwards of 25 million "bitter clingers" and "deplorables" who could not or would not get their minds right would have to be "eliminated." I can assure you, that he was not kidding as the Weathermen's and Black Panthers' body count can attest. "By Any Means Necessary" is not just a meaningless slogan. The carnage and destruction visited upon several dozen American cities over the spring and summer of 2020 is proof positive. There is one big-ass hate shake heading our way.


    ABOVE THE FOLD, BREAKING, NOTEWORTHY

  • Victor Davis Hanson: "...now there grows a strange new ahistorical 'antiracism' racism. One variety encourages holistic hatred, blaming all of one's own unhappiness, indeed all of the cosmic injustice in the manmade and natural world -- the very air, water, and earth -- on a white racial collective."
    Is Racism Moral Now?
  • "The China-U.S. Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) has paid a consultant nearly $670,000 since 2017 to arrange student visits from the schools to China, as well as to make introductions to members of the Congressional Black Caucus... CIA Director William Burns testified last month that he grew suspicious of CUSEF's activities when he led the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a think tank that had a relationship with the Chinese group."
    Chinese Propaganda Group Has Spent Years Cozying Up To Black Colleges
  • "Remind yourself what FBI 'contractors' with access to the NSA database already did in their quest for political opposition research and surveillance... Then overlay all of the above and you get an alarming picture that is not something to dispatch."

10 Morning, all! I'm thankful that Holy Week, along with the lifting of COVIDtide at my parish, will allow for much distraction from this crazy world. Thank God for my priest, especially now that I hear that there is a parish in New Jersey that is restricting Confession to those that are vaccinated. I apologize for the spike in blood pressure that knowledge is likely to cause for our Hordian Catholics. I won't bury my head in the sand, but I hope to bury it in the Cross this week.

This is why I'm supporting Texit. I don't see any other nonviolent path forward. And I don't actually think it's nonviolent for anyone except Texans - it's just a chance for us to git while the gittin' is good. The left has stirred up so much hatred that I don't think America will ever recover.

An FBI agent looked a person in the eye and said "we are going to do whatever we have to because terrorism is everywhere!"

The problem is the literal terrorism is what they are looking past, which tells me they went all in on "anything goes!" during Obama and now know that if they lose power they are going to prison, *or* the GOP gave tacit approval to Obama's antics and that is why there is no defense of our electorate.

2) Human smuggling across the border is more pervasive than ever imagined.
3) Brag about overwhelming the border on the Sunday talk shows.
4) When President Trump - one that a majority of the people voted for in 2016 issues a statement about how much a disaster it is, flood the release with stupid gifs of "blah blah blah no one cares."

They are cheering our invasion by a combination of the cartels and government NGOs who psychopathically hate anything to do with America's heritage and Western Civilization. This won't end well.

Good question. Don;t lnow if this is the answer, but. . . they use celebrities. Democrats and activist orhanizations coordinate with celebrities via 'Decency Collective' to push out their talking points to the millions and millions of celebrity social media followers. It's a JournoList used to broadcast their messaging via non-traditional media. Maybe you don;t care about X, but all of a sudden your favorite actresses, your favorite hip-hop singers, and your favorits NBA players are all tweeting/instagramming about X, telling you exactly why you should be concerned. And now the masses believe the latest Left take on X and take to social media, the streets, wherever, to fix X now!!!

----------

The Biden administration and private companies are working to develop a standard way of handling credentials - often referred to as "vaccine passports" - that would allow Americans to prove they have been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus as businesses try to reopen.

The effort has gained momentum amid President Biden's pledge that the nation will start to regain normalcy this summer and with a growing number of companies - from cruise lines to sports teams - saying they will require proof of vaccination before opening their doors again.

I think a number of states have loopholes where you need a liquor license to actually sell liquor, but not to serve liquor that the customer brings with him.

So you wind up with a lot of clubs that sell mixers, and that will mix drinks for you, but don't technically "sell alcohol".

At one time strip joints here in Alaska were defined by selling alcohol, and it was illegal for women under 19 (now 21, I believe... same as the drinking age) to work in them. Some scumbag "entrepreneur" noticed that it was not illegal for girls over the age of consent (16 at that time, I believe) to get nekkid in public as long as alcohol wasn't being served, so they set up what were known disparagingly as "Itty Bitty Titty Bars", which sold overpriced soft drinks.

A law was soon passed to ban that, though.

Oooooor they pivoted to the new standards for PCR testing. The WHO and the CDC were recommending 40+ amplification cycles (all the better to achieve test positivity and feed their political goals). Once the usurper was installed, they mysteriously changed their guidance and started recommended fewer cycles. Fewer cycles means less amplification and less probability of trash being blown out of proportion to cause a positive test result.

Go to a state store for everything (except a six-pack, which you can buy in a bar). In Kentucky? Watch out for the "dry county" spoiler! In Colorado? Enjoy buying spirits on Sunday.

That's the thing about these media pushes: it's gotten so obvious. Other obvious pushes: interracial realtionships (rare to see same race couple in ads), dads are stupid, and girls are awesome in science, sports, and all the things (rare to see sons/boys now).

288 re the article "Biden's Lie-Filled Press Conference" --

It turns out Joe hasn't changed any since at least his 1988 run for the Democrat nomination. Joe was never the moderate he himself and others sell him as (another lies from Joe, surprise, surprise). Below are links to two YouTube clips of Joe on the campaign trail in 1988, for your info about who Joe really is and always has been. Not a uniter, a hard-core Progressive, angry, and can't remember much of his standard stump speech - refers to notes frequently.

2+ minute clip - voter-harassing Joe, smart Joe, Prog-beliefs Joe

303 > Schools are awful these days, yes, but kids still need the social development and person to person contact schools offer.

They can get "social development" and "person to person contact" in many other environments.

Schools provide a highly-artificial environment where a) everyone is within one year of age and b) there's an arbitrary authority figure bossing everybody around.

That is a social situation the likes of which they will never again encounter in their lives. Maybe in military bootcamp, but that's about it. Even in prison you're going to get a range of age groups.

The "socialization" argument for public schools is patent nonsense.

In fact, our current public school model was set up to crank out drones to work on assembly lines that no longer exist. Go back and read the original philosophical underpinnings of the modern public school. They weren't shy about saying what they were doing.

The elites have never subjected their own children to the "socialization" of public schools. Why would you want anything less for your own kids?

One of the better outrageous purchases I have ever made is a used 1988-vintage Oxford English Dictionary. These can be had on the cheap (by OED standards - about $700 IIRC) and you can get the supplements if you want to. Spoiler alert: it's bigger than most encyclopedias and very heavy. But it has every word and full etymology and history, and it's a joy to use. You can get the condensed version (two big volumes with tiny print on bible paper, usually shipping with a magnifying glass), too. It's slightly less complete but a lot more manageable.

______________

There were blacks online blaming the uber driver for his own death because he didn't just stand back and let those two feral thugs steal his car.

Think about it. The guy made his living driving the car. That was how he supported his family and paid his bills. He wasn't sitting around on his ass waiting for his monthly EBT welfare payment to be deposited into his bank account, like so many D.C. residents do. He worked for his money, so of course he couldn't just let those two thugs drive off in his means of making a living.

But for the girls, who'd probably never worked a day in their sorry lives, it wasn't FAIR that somebody else had something they wanted and didn't have. Of course they were entitled to take what they wanted. All their lives they've had stuff handed to them -- "free" money, food, cell phones, etc. So why not take a car when they see one they want -- especially if it's being driven by somebody with lighter skin than theirs. They're VICTIMS, don't you know!

We used to have one of those mammoths...passed down through my great-grandfather who was an attorney and had it in his office. Dated from about 1920-ish. That thing was at least a foot thick and must have weighed 15 pounds. Unforunately, those were designed to be used with a stand, due to the extreme thickness and weight of the book, and the stand had vanished somewhere along the line, and it was in rough shape by the time we had it from being used without the stand.

343 The article pointing out the parallels between the rise of the Nazi Party and the Dem/progressive/socialist party of today is spot on.

I was left wondering if the people who stood in opposition to Hitler felt helpless watching those people come to power. They had no history to look back on. This was all new and certainly overwhelming. I imagine they sat feeling helpless and unable to stop the rising tide.

The biggest difference between now and then is obviously that we have a history to look back on and a rather large portion of the citizenry is well armed.

So the hurdle is the 2nd and always has been. With that in mind, all the left's actions from the election to today make perfect sense as actions taken to initiate a disarming of the population.

Yet ultimately your vote determines if we go to war, how much tax you pay, what laws you live under, what regulations your business operates under, who gets free money from the government, and a zillion other things that can affect you and several generations after you.

A lot of these movies got one aspect right, such as Equilibrium's government destroying all art/items that evoke emotion. However, our current trajectory isnt to stifle emotions, it uses emotions to ship up the mob and direct it at their enemies.

If so, it is merely an amplification of existing trends. The Zoomers are heavily polarized with little middle ground. The Millennials are almost uniformly Left and the Xers are fairly moderate, but not so for the subsequent group. There is a sharp divide that is cast in Left/Right terms. The peril of doing that notwithstanding, there is a lot of division, with the Ultra-Woke on one side and the Ultra-Based on the other. The Ultra-Based are aggressively anticommunist and anti-Woke, but they aren't really "conservatives" as we would typically understand it. Left to its own devices (as I suspect it will be), the Ultra-Based will probably return to monarchism under a king as it attempts to vanquish the commie Ultra-Woke.

I might take that bargain.

411 Sirius XM Symphony Hall has a program called Living American. It features music written by Americans that 'reflect the times we live in'. I've only listened to two of the programs, so anecdotal commentary. Both were hosted by a POC. Common theme of both was how minority communities are underserved by the classical music performing arts. Both hosts worked the theme of asking questions about American life and where we may be headed.

I can't afford the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, but I exposed my kids to the local suburban orchestras. My choice my kiddos. With that said neither of my kids are aspiring rappers, but then we are deplorable, so there's that.
