What Will You Do When You've Lost Your Freedom?

Rather than focusing on the recent past, with regard to the Lefts takeover of ( some would say dismantling of ), power, emphasis should be placed on elements that are now coming into play which are impossible to control but that have an immediate impact the future of our country. So, I ask are you prepared to lose this present government? When will stability and peace return and where will the day be won? Which freedoms would you choose if you were given the burden to keep it?

Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.

- Barry Goldwater


It would be no favor to Liberty if we automatically rule out some of the more disagreeable tasks outright for fear of being in favor of naked aggression. If the system has been corrupted, and therefore the health of the nation- as patient - were denied an honest assesment. Its a disservice for the doctor (in this case; the People ) to withold from the patient the best treatment possible, though extreme, such a patient would choose life over any alternative. So to speak about return to laisse -faire civility is simply offering a band aid when the true nature of the symptoms remain undiagnosed, or worse burn up precious resources in a time of mounting and already grave crisis.

In the weeks since Obama sponsored Health Reform was passed, what we have is a sea change in that involved bare - knuckle positioning to favor the narrative of doctored rascism. Same old Alinsky tactics at a Teaparty Rally, Media blitzes and a Radical Presidents boldest commandeering of freedom to date then affecting a moderate pose. A new and dangerous gamble low on detail of a derailing of the Salt agreement with Russian arms rather than modernizing aging and virtually obsolete weapons this new idea on world peace and how it is to be designed, is a papering over of the problem of aggression in war. It is not about substance but glory with this President.

No one believes for a minute that this President is done gravitating the tempo of the debate as our protagonist. Barack Obama; the most powerful man in the free world and now the most dangerous to liberty, is redifing the presidency by agitating an experimental precedent. Now his dangerous game is playing at unilateralism in the balance of power in global affairs, invites obvious disaster. Would or political rivals and allies find it easier to understand this recent change of stance? How much more amplified then for activists for liberty here at home? It is what he says it is, a change regardless of reality.

And small wonder too, with the Lefts cloying need to reiterate hate into a sublimated form of Political Taqiyya, the old canards now seem to have an opposite effect on people who are taking active interest and have no reason to incist on being made into the bad guy. If these two cosmologies are irreconcileable in civility, then by all means, they should be reconcilled if needs be in defense of liberty.

Catholics on the March

Look Out Alinsky!
Everything old is new again, so the dead split down the center of the Catholic Church in America, the Liberal wing that Obama is exploiting for all that it is worth, is coming alive again and studying Saul Alinsky, that Bugbear Extraordinaire in order to out radical the Radical Church.

Does that remind you at all of Spy vs. Spy?


So, It Comes Down To This


It seems like the echo of complacency is settling in sometimes, but with no outlet or avenue, any mouthpiece and without a leader, any hope seems disconnected and trashed. I write in my blog about some of the feelings I am personally going through and hope that it will be enough between me and my maker. I will not have to answer to anyone about how much effort is enough except to Him and to Him should always be enough. After all, I do not wish to sound too zealous, but He controls it all anyway, so what we do with it is what He really wants to see. 

I also belong to 4-5 part time Ning groups, twitter like crazy and try to be a nuissance. I'm reading nonstop but also I am thinking critically. That alone takes an immense amount of work and pretty much fills my day. I love my country, and most of all my country at peace but I will trade my comfort for my kids anyday and the prospects of their lives haunts me to my core. For thousands of years and hundreds of generations from the primordial ooze, parents have wanted no less for their own.

I divide my time in every way that I can think of and quite frankly, the ride gets to be too much sometimes. I definitely don't need to get into the litany of what I see as a perfectly coordinated attack not only on liberty and property, but on basic competence and human dignity as well as livelyhood and free enterprise. Each day, it is the same thing, a new assault from a new direction and and it surely is designed to run any opposition squarely off the rails in rage and tempestuous but futile effort. Too little is not enough and too much will forever be too little. God help us.

If, we are talking about action, there have been any number of planned and civilized outrage actions and at any various levels of organization and not one iota of success. But such a tour de force on that side could give the Nazi's a run for their money in the speed in which they have gotten things organized at at our throats.

I am not a history buff, but even Hitler had the Kaiser to check his progress for a time. Even Moussilini had to suppress a few wild hairs before he got really started. This has hit and hit and hit, over and over again along every faultline there was in America. It is amazing there is any opposition to speak of at this point. I am talking about - both the at once inept yet pervasive nature of how so much of it dovetails into the rest of it. What I am suggesting is that we pay attention to what we already know in our hearts and seem to be dumbfoundedly waiting for confirmation of it to happen.

Let's assume the worst. At what point in your to do list do you decide to buy a gun? Many of us have already decided that that is a perfectly reasonable thing to do and may have already done so or are in the process of becoming a firearm owner. There are all of those issues that ownership brings up. Safety, best practices and what to do if the stuff really hits the fan, breaks into your house and you actually have to use that new stuff. There's ammo and a safe to keep it and practice, practice, practice in order to know how not to shoot yourself if you use it, because, self defense and defense of someone else is the one thing that they are good for. I thought criminals had guns.

Then there is the other part of the 'to keep and bear arms' stuff that IS in the constitution that no one really wants to talk about because it is so extreme, so fantastical that it doesn't even remotely resemble reality in any sane sense, but now, somehow, in a far out way that the founders were in their foresight able to detect from 1775, that we don't seem to be able to recognize on the evening news that lie, lie, lie about not only the country, but also ourselves and what we believe, to be mocked and ridiculed and I just get super pissed and have a tough time with it. It is Saul Alinsky's 12th rule of freeze the target and isolate, ridicule and cut off the aid. Pretty much what they are doing over and over every day to some other make believe person that so much as looks at the president Obama as the insane lunatic he is. So we were supposed to use the second amendment for that?

I KNOW how crazy this sounds but I also know that this man decided that He needed a 72% share of General Motors today and that is not even by five o'clock eastern time. Believe me, by the time he gets around to telling you how you are going to live, you will be begging, no pleading for the reeducation camp. I pray that that is not the case, but he is acting with line with the rest of our government; as if that is the only plan that they are even remotely capable of handling.

I grew up on a farm. I have seen how animals react and they do so effortlessly and they do so all day long. They never tire and they never weary, they don't even sweat. They are acting on instinct. Fight. flee, mewl, eat, get sick / well, birth and death is in their nature. It is we, who give them names and make them move, choose the time of their coming and going, how they live and how they die. They do not have to think of tomorrow, there is only this somehow terrible now we are living in and only instinct to guide them. They do so because that is their nature.

This is how this administration is running, on instinct as one great beast. Because I have seen what animals are capable of up close and to what purpose they act and react to. I am not now offering how to become alarmed. I think we are all already alarmed because we realize the implications that is happening. But do we realize what we are up against? What does it want? What is it going after? What are the forces at work within it and when will they tire? While we are navel gazing, how much longer do we have to react and to save what we are feeling from happening? What would that look like if we did 'pick up our sword' and 'gird our loins' metaphorically speaking?

So many voices talk about organized resistance and a few with an outright bewilderment as to why there hasn't been actual revolt. But I wonder if any of those same voices have an answer as to exactly when should this happen? Does anyone alive have any idea what it would take to take on America in her Imperial majesty? It's not the bloody Redcoats we are talking about. Mel Gibson in the Patriot was pretty much right to refuse to having to fight one more war. It's an insane mess. We would be fighting for our rights with pitchforks and peashooters while they would be amassed with the whole myrmidon army. Will it come to that? Only chance would know once the bottle is spun. Last time it cost America 600,000 lives who's ghosts are screaming from their graves for for the sin of slavery on mens souls. There shouldn't have to be any more lives spent achieving a more perfect union.

Culture War Update; The Schock Troops Of Marriage Reform


I guess you have pretty much been saturated by now about the new administrations Shock and Awe on deliberately and steadfastly prosecuting a war on terror against conservatives in America, which stands to reason since to their unusual intelligence makes everything Bushes fault and the fault of all of their followers, the neo-cons and anyone around them that does not believe that the Truthers Were Right.  But here's a little news for most of them.  They are wrong, but their pig headed love for all things progressive means that they will drive us all down with them because a fifth column media says its all right and any cracks in reason can be pasted over with another hit peice on fake news or, perhaps what Paris Hilton's dog had for lunch.

So, when it comes to dialog, you pretty much have to go it alone with them whenever they challenge you on the fact that you don't echo chamber the echo chamber that follows their star chamber which just happens to be everyone and everything Barack Obama, but I repeat myself at the risk of nausea.

But remember when, not to long ago the nation rose up in the millions to defend, not just once but three times in California, and almost countless numbers in states all across America, time and time, etc. That every time it came up for a vote, it was voted down, that people did not want Gay Marriage.  It was blamed on the Latter Day Saints for having provided funds to a political PAC to campaign against it this last time in California, which I am sure that you have heard and could just as easily find reference to it as I can, that this comes right out of Saul Alinsky Power Tactics 7 and 3 to freeze and then ridicule, as well as a few others I could easily argue the hows and the why for's.  But during all of 'the struggle' for 'gay rights' and 'equality' for 'gay marriage' came the argument that if gays ever got the right to marry, legally recognized, bona fide stamp of federal approval, then that would back door every other form of sexual perversion being officially recognized and sanctioned. I know, it was a slippery slope, but again, that does not mean that its a false assumption, when the decision rendered was false in it's assumptions, 

The argument was that gays should have the right to marry because no one picks who they are as a characteristic from birth, so how could they be responsible for their own lack of similar rights? It is the nature vs. nurture argument that goes way back to the first officially recognized form of homosexuality in the Kinsey Report.  But that has nothing to do with the governments trying to throw off the yoke to protect its citizens from the destruction of Natural Law. This is something which Cicero warned us well about and because the founders wanted to secure for us in the debates on the constitution written in the Federalist Papers.  I like Cicero because he was murdered for what he believed, he is quoted here because he chose to say what he believed anyway, though it cost him his life.

So, now in one of the countries which favor gay marriage with legal sanction and have had it for quite some time, comes a case that the gay alliance said for years would never happen,  a polygamy case in Canada.


• "Canadians of all backgrounds share some basic values, like a belief in human dignity, equality between men and women and the rule of law. It is these values that unite us as Canadians," states a note prepared for the minister. "The practice of polygamy represents a clear challenge to those unifying values."
• The Criminal Code outlaws "any form of polygamy" or "any kind of conjugal union with more than one person at the same time, whether or not it is by law recognized as a binding form of marriage.

This realy is beginning to sound familiar isn't it?

Please read the whole article and get informed.  This storm is coming.

Saul Alinsky In The Crosshairs, Pt. Duex


Previously, We have covered this fight and the origins of it in one of our posts, they say that brevity is the soul of wit, therefor, I mock myself by this blog.
The enemy has long had great love and mystical affection for one radical of radicals, fully raised in the wobblie(IWW) tradition; Saul Alinsky.  At the risk of harping, it does need further explanation that all of the colleges in the top ten during the eighties were trying to teach this stuff and mostly succeeding, I was myself thrown out of a college for writing (poorly) a term paper on human rights, that of the unborn but still very much alive people.  For that I was ridiculed, so points 3 through 6 of Power Tactics from the book, (Saul Alinsky; Rules For Radicals,) are discussed here.  Enjoy!
  • “Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this. They can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”
They have used this one to tear down the catholic church through he church scandals,, and mostly for the good, but the publication and industry of it were more for getting organized as a community for reform of the catholic church.  One would have to ask why the church, but if you dont already have an idea then you probably are not reading this blog.  They tear down the church as one of the solid pillars of the good government.  If I have to draw you a map, again, brevity. Thanks for your understanding.
However, Alinsky also taught the clergy to fight the clergy on this one.  More on this later I hope.
  • “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
This is the administrations whole argument, to take the opposition and make strawman arguments against them.  The Presidents whole argument for stealing our wealth and destroying the nation, is to stuff words into a straw man and say, this is what I say to that.  Ridicule and blame and dead political careers along the way. Mark my words.
  • “The threat is generally more terrifying than the thing itself.”
This part is where alot of BS starts: They plan to start a TARP, Close the internet, national conscription, take away freedoms, lock up old grandmothers and email the Ayatolla secrets to the newest nuke.  It goes on and on, and this way, even the opposition is scared the beejeezus out of pissing the Prez off.  Not that I think to highly of it.  Just saying, there is a curtain and in this case, a teleprompter.
  • “In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands above the belt.”
I am going to stick to my guns and not get billious at this point.  You probably already know my mood and I really try to be a happy guy.  I am pretty damn torqued about the last one hundred days, but most of all, I hope there is a very dark and cold place in hell for the people who put me in this mood, and the way they have treated a people to a mood of paranoia, where there was none, where there was harmony and brotherhood and made it a wasteland of trust for a vision, which almost no one else shared, and now, due to the general lack of attention to due dilligence, and a steady decline of the moral order, a refusal to get involved when your own efforts are wasted in keeping up appearance and maintaining a status quo of an illusion of immense stability.

This is a declaration of war.  Cicero said it best:
  • True law is right reason in agreement with nature; it is of universal application, unchanging and everlasting; it summons to duty by its commands, and averts from wrongdoing by its prohibitions... It is a sin to try to alter any part of this law, nor is it allowable to repeal any part of it, and it is impossible to abolish it entirely.  We cannot be freed from its obligations by senate or people, and we need not look outside ourselves for an expounder or interpreter of it.  And there will not be different laws at Rome and at Athens, or different laws now and in the future, but one eternal and unchangeable law will be valid for all nations and for all times, and there will be one master and ruler, that is God, over us all, for he is the author of this law, its promulgator, and its enforcing judge.  Whoever is disobedient is fleeing from himself and denying his human nature, and by reason of this very fact he will suffer the worst punishment. (Quoted in Ebenstein, Great Political Thinkers, p.133.)

Thus, the wicked have overpowered the strong and they themselves will cast themselves down.  All we need to do now, is get up and fight this battle and win this war.

Alinsky in the Presidents Pocket.


While perusing the decks for something to understand the playbook, or the ROE of President Obama's stratergery, it jumps out at you like a lock in key, that Sol Alinsky' Rules for Radicals is in the Presidents Playbook.  What technique depends on what tactic is coming next.  What we should do is study this Mien Kampf if we don't wish to be led to the funeral pyre.

Always remember the first rule of Power Tactics; 

1.) Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.-

Tracking this dictum, there has never been another administration in my lifetime that has been so dedicated to creating a mystique of power and ineptitude. Daily within these first 70 days we are tracking news reports that are designed to confuse the issue with propaganda and malfeasance of the countries wealth, while demanding more and more power in order to 'fix' the problem.  This disconcerts the enemy and brings more illusion of power in order to continue the consolidation for a power base and army of activists.  We understand that he will not give up his Blackberry because to do so would be to admit a weakness. There are thousand of Tweeters he can call on in a moments notice.  Again, I do not imply that he is anything more than inept but even that can be cultivated.  He cannot be pinned down.  He is walking contradiction.  The press fawns over him while the rest of the world marvels at the horror of his lack of protocol and manners.  The news reports of the G20 visit faux pas cannot be equivocated, or explained away as simple oversight, that would have been boneheaded the first time with the Gordon Brown debacle, the one where he said that he was so tired, yet he has time enough to single handed run up the deficit and tell Joe the Plumbers about redistributing wealth.  Not somebody else's wealth, your wealth, and that the governments revolution is to provide that.  We will go into more of the pragmatic uses of Alinky's Rules for Radicals in more installments but the next rule in power tactics is;

2.) "Never go outside the expertise of your people" 

The mainstream media , Pro-nounced ; meed-ja has been the single most abiding supporter of the revolution they openly declare as having begun and that the President has only Four Years to get things done or the world is lost and we will be consumed in a fiery flood.
People get that, they don't seem to care about some fifty year old mien kampf from an old Marxist, but the Progressives Do!

Maybe it is clear that the actions of the news which we are relying on to be objective, that the presidents natural critics  having learned their lesson from the 'Swift Boating' have finally circled the wagons and have a hammer lock of objective reality.  For far too long the right has been forced to feed the presidents natural critics, the hoi pilloi, or common sense independent thinkers,  still capable of critical reasoning.  Their group was despirited by the sudden flash from out of nowhere Pajama's Media to counter the stupid lies that twenty seconds with a google could uncover the lazy journalism, the fabricated stories and malevelant America bashing that the 'Intelligensia' generated.  This was somehow America's Worst attribute, that they were not ready for revolution.  They weren't ready for the new Ruling Class.

From Small Things- Great Things Grow.

Been spending time rereading some old touch points and mental notes from years ago about the brewing storm ahead.  The 910 world here, in which ideas about McCluhan and Baudrillard and the media was the masses.  The idea that the power could shift and then where would it go, where was the direction that it would head off too.

These ideas were discarded by me after 911. The radicals who were in touch with me could no longer stand the Armchair Historian Populist crap I was laying down and they and I had a very definite split.  What happened led me to discover the back rooms and alleys of history that the media had not prepared anyones mind to 'discover' because the agenda has been moving that way for a very long time, that exquisite repository of recorded history, The Roman Catholic Church.  You could spend a lifetime unlearning what you didn't know was true about the Catholic Church but I digress.

This part about Chicago Activism was something new to me, and was properly introduced immediately after the War began when someone named Bill was on some of the boards that I had been.  This man named Bill had everyone from the boards organized into echelons of tighter and tighter security and deeper and deeper levels of  confidence were weedled out of the minions.  Like a secret society of crafty social sorcerers.  Needless to say, my views opposing the free advocation of legalization of class C narcotics got me some notice.  

This guy had all of the credentials you needed to have someone who claimed to be behind the Church of the Sub Genius sitting in his closest circle of friends.  Where artists were, or they called themselves artists.  Actually Bill called himself a Situational Anarchist.  Anyway, the dealings that I had with Bill at that time were extremely confrontational in such a way that he was trying to convince me that I should side with him and against the good of the country while the smoke was still rising in Manhattan.  Part of what he showed me was the then fledgeling MoveOn.org.  There was the backing and all of the preparation that just needed the right moment to launch it.  It was diabolical, but I moved on.

So, now I am playing the detective and trying to find were the bodies are buried and I can definitely tell you that I am reading and rereading anything I can get my hands on about Saul Alinksky.  That guy sounds like the real deal alright and something that Bill would have loved to quote.  I cant even begin to tell you if this Bill from Chicago in the early group networks was the same Bill they talk about with the Weather Underground or not, but it seems like too many details pop up that are too important to miss.  It has the ring of truth, like the sound a quarter makes when its dropped on its side.   The silver ones were the best.

So, if the middle class are starting to move, then they are a plutonium bomb set to short circuit. As Baudrillard was fond of saying, the shadow class were the great wildcard.  Once they started on the discovery that it was all chimera, then they would erupt and destroy meaning itself.  It is no wonder that no politician wants to get out in front of the Tea Party Movement, because the whole process of the middle class becoming radical comes out of Alinskys playbook.  That sowing of discontent is necessary, and why you see Obama making deals with Brown and others to make a New Deal global; because the revolution is not scheduled until 2012.

Did it ever occur to anyone how ultimately distressing it is that the Army we have now is trained to fight insurrections?  That we now have a President trying to drive us into confrontation with our own institutions by stealing every core value and engine of the economy he could get his hands on and that was within the first month? These plans take years to even implement, but that is not the point, the timing and structure should be analyzed for the demoralizing effect for which it is intended, because he doesn't wait for the news of the latest debacle to recede before the next one gets piled on.  OODA loops again.

This is war on one's own house. In a way that makes all other wars look like child's play.  

God Bless the United States of America and save her.  We are in for some very dark times indeed.
