Northam Locks Down Virginia Until June10 , 2020

Fascists like Northam have a taste of dictatorship now that they have emergency powers granted to them in the name of public safety. This is a scary time for America, not just due to Covid---9, but every tinhorn despot like Northam and Walz now get to push people around more than usual. The Left can never intrude in our lives enough, or pass enough laws to satiate their addiction to power. They are crazed with power lust, and these lockdowns

Reckless People

Leftists, bureaucrats, elitists, politicians and statists are reckless, clueless dangerous people. They salivate every time the Legislature or Congress are in session. They thoughtlessly over-legislate, overspend and overreach, making the government bigger and bigger, consuming ever more of the economy, intruding aggressively and with speed to invade and consume the domain of privacy, property, liberty, life and power of each citizen, robbing them of these attributes, these inalienable rights--transferring personal property, liberty, life, power and privacy to government apparatchiks.

This is how socialism has been converting America to a federal monster, in which tyranny, centralized, excessive power, entrenched elites, crony capitalism and over-legislating have gutted the constitution, trampled natural rights, nationalized whole segments of the economy, and brought tyranny unto the heads of the people.

To restore the constitutional republic will be an uphill battle, difficult, daunting and perhaps impossible.

Where to start? We must begin with the citizens. Only citizens, politically enlightened, logical, informed and skeptical of authority, will wield the assertive power of grassroots lobbying to right the ship of state, to order politicians on how to vote.

Only individuating, anarchist supercitizens have their gold standard, of government as it should be, that New Jerusalem, that constitutional republic, in mind during legislative session.

When each citizens recognizes that, with every new anonymous, bureaucratic regulation proclaimed, with the power of law over the people and businesses out there in the private world, with every new law passed by the legislators or Congressman, signed into law by the governor or President, the power and reach of the tyrannical state is increased, and the decentralized, devolved power of the private citizen with liberty enjoyed under our functioning, limited constitutional republic, is diminished.

As laws are passed with increasing profusion and regularity, the government get bigger and the individual citizens get smaller--so announced Prager.

The power to legislate is inherently a corrupt and corrupting capability, and the people must leash and direct politicians and bureaucrats, so that they do not grow government and tyranny through lawmaking.

To this end, term limits for state and federal Senators of two terms, and two terms for House members.

To this end, if the supercitzen organizations take over the Democratic and Republican Parties, or are pressure groups within these parties., we need constitutional amendments on the state and federal level to recall any politician, including the President,  at any time during their term of office, for disobedience to the will and directive of the majority of their constituents. If 40% of the eligible voters petition for a recall vote, let it be done.

The Reality

I read on the Internet recently that the role of our constitutional republic is not to restrain the people, but to restrain the government. Actually, our government serves both purposes, but the constitution is more to restrain government than the people.

Anarchist Delusions

Yes, I am an individualist anarchist, but I never assume that I or any other individualist is above the law or that the rules do not apply to us. We should obey the laws of the land, while, as individuating-anarchist supercitizens, we educate, dialogue and reach out to each other to author contracts for the county, for the state and for the federal government.

We form grassroots pressure lobbies of thousands and millions of citizens united on their contracts, and then they lobby and command the politicians that work for us, to obey our instructions, and bring forth the legislation that we favor and to oppose and vote against that which we discount.

Being as we must live under the laws of the land, local, state and federal, we must make sure that only constitutional, inalienable rights consistent, pro-capitalist, pro-small government, gun-loving, sovereignty reinforcing bills are passed.

This is how we get rid of bad, silly, tyrannical laws and ordinances that we cannot in good conscience obey.

A virtuous citizenry must make the just, efficient, limited and constitutional laws through pressure and guidance upon their elected officials. Then, the citizens must agree to obey these laws so that all citizens in the polity will enjoy ordered liberty. Where citizens fail to obey the laws of the land, bad anarchy, lawlessness, chaos and social disintegration will follow.

If the enlightened, organized union of supercitizens will not agree to be rid of a law that an single supercitizen detests as unconstitutional, unjust, illegal, tyrannical or sinful, then that single person has two ways to go. She can continue to obey the law while lobbying and educating to have it removed. Or she can be civily disobedient and be arrested, tried, convicted and jailed for disobeying the law.

The system is not perfect, but it will work rather well.

If supercitizens have a hand in devising the laws of the land, then it would be dishonest and hypocritical not to abide by the laws of the land. None can be above the law, but all have a moral and political obligation to draft the laws.

It may seem inconsistent and paradoxical, even hypocritical--to recommend that the ideal citizen, an educated supercitizen and part-ruler and individuating-anarchist, serving as a politician and voter to improve and maintain our God-centered, free market economical, armed citizenry, running the constitutional republic, unite with others in political parties or as part of coalitions, but that is how the human condition unfolds.

We need live as individuals first, but we are also part of families, churches, neighborhoods, towns, townships, cities, counties, states and America as a whole. With this irrrefragable, blended, dual human condition, the burden of all adult citizens, living as a particular individual, while working with others, the balance must be to have small, but strong, effective government agencies that provide for the general good, without an elite becoming entrenched and addicted to power, living off of and subjugating the masses, rather that protecting and serving them.

Only individuating-anarchist supercitizens, united and organized with other supercitizens, writing, lobbying and enforcing their contract with America, are able to remain individuals while steering and preserving the common good.

The Letter

8/16/19: A local funeral home sent me a letter offering a meeting and a free meal in order to plan my funeral and cremation. I was offended. I thought it seem really crass of them. I just turned 65 years old, and receive such letter invitations for a "free meal" to drum up sales for their business.

Now truth is truth. Death one day will come for me--hopefully not too soon--and there will be no slick evasion that I can implement to evade what awaits me.

I am a man of deep faith and profound hope. But there is no denying that death, emptiness, silence, barrenness and encountering nothing are all there at death time. I too fell the fear that a cold, indifferent, impersonal is all there is and all that awaits me.

When my bodied is burned down to a pile of ash, is that emblematic of what I have been and have become--the end product of my whole, senseless, purposeless insignificant life? I hope not.

I believe in God, salvation and the afterlife, but am frightened by my looming death--that constant, gnawing threat of death, terminating my existence. I worry that my sense of meaning is but a thin, ineffective barrier enveloping my frail ego, to forestall the approaching Grim Reaper, out there pending, nipping away at my feelings of worth, dignity and security.

It is no wonder that we settle for herd-living and a life of comforting delusions, escaping from freedom and awareness into "the they", ever drowning out reality in our social whirlwind of commotion, noise and games.

In the end, we will go out of this world alone. Nothing is  more fraught with promise or more terrible to experience than being utterly alone, naked and exposes on a platform of aloneness, waiting for our oncoming train with its plaintive whistle blowing, finally alert to the fact that only God can save us from eternal death, to assure us that our biological death need not be spiritual death too.

Horrible

Should Covid-19 justify the health care rationing plan here to deny care to the elderly and infirm in favor of the young and healthy. That decision is discriminatory and is also immoral.

The Ego And Its Own

In the Stephen Byington translation of Max Stirner's, The Ego And Its Own, at the bottom of Page 250, Stirner writes this: "If the point is to have myself understood and to make communications, then assuredly I can only make use of human means, which are at my command because I am at the same time man. And really I have thoughts only as man; I am at the same time thoughtless. He who cannot get rid of a thought is so far only man, is a thrall of language . . . "

Observe that Stirner introduces a paradox here: the self has thoughts but is at the same time a thougtless nothing. Is this gibberish and nonsense, or is Max writing a profound truth. As a duped egoist the possessed ego bound to an abstraction above him cannot get rid of his thought. His addiction and boundness as slavish devotion to this concept converts his zeal for its worship and the need to convert others to worship this causes as he so fervently does, renders his devotion to it a fanatical lie, a hopeless, dead-end subservience.

Stirner, the negative moderate, the bourgeois insurrectionist,  follows the taoist line of thinking at the the self, the creative nothing, exists and prospers only as a voluntary egoist, disallowing any abstract, cause or ism to control him, the slavery of the extremist, possessed mermidon, pious and reverent.

The voluntary egoist is a man with thoughts that is, at the same time, thoughtless regarding each of his ideas that he creates as a thought, and his property, and in the next instance, or a month later, when he is bored with it, he destroys that thoughtless (thus his psyche in that sense is thoughtless).

If I may translate Stirnerism, negative metaphysical and epistemological moderation for him is bringing any and all thoughts and feelings into and out of existence as he sees fit, so that none of these thoughts or sentiments would get above and outside of him as objective principles to rule and steer him. He refuses to become their property. They must be his property.

Thus if as I assert, the concentration of power is fanatical and evil, then to live as a creative nothing like Stirner did is one way to keep our ideas and our feelings from getting above us, and ordering us about as possessed dupest egoists, altruists in their collective, the general, the hierarchy being knocked around and ordered about without will or redemption.

Stirner seems to recommend that if the ego as a creative nothing (nothing is the conscious Ego as existent but not possessing an essential nature) by applying the practice of epistemological paradox to every thought--and I add to every feeling--then the both thought/thoughtlessness and feeling/lack of feeling are power neutral, not either/or as occurs under excessive aristotelian abstractionism or out concentrated sentiment.

MGR Wisdom

The Dorr brothers advise people to keep their guns handy, not to panic, not to depend on the government to save us during this covid-19 pandemic. We can always be there for each other, for our family, friends and neighbors during this time of crisis. Amen

What Is Important?

How do you know what matters and what does not? There is no universal, necessarily pat answer to these question--the right choice is mostly personal and unique--but studying the Bible and Mavellonialist philosophy can help lead you to the right answers for you.

Confront Adversity

You cannot run and you cannot hide: challenges and difficulties will ever be before you--stand up to them and break through these barriers.

Possess Thought

For Max Stirner, the involuntary egoist is an altruist who is possessed by an abstraction that he worshiped and is owned by. This fanatics now wishes to spread his cause by exhortation, pressure, even violence and intimidation where warranted by stiff target resistance.

Dennis Prager on YouTube

Dennis narrates one of his older videos, and it is filled with wondrous generalization all tidily delivered in a 5 minute lecture.

He contrasts Liberals from Leftist six different ways. Here are his illustrative examples.

1. Race: Liberals regard the color of one's skin as irrelevant. All are to be treated equally and fairly as individuals and by the content of their character. Anyone that obsesses about race is a racist.

Along come Leftists that not only obsess about race, insisting that race matters, but they pigeonhole every human whose essence is derived from the identity groups in which they were born. Leftists are against integration and are for resegregating blacks, etc. They are racists, and I would go farther describing them as reverse-racists for the way that they pick on whites, labeling us as oppressors, who never will be let off the hook, and against whom they will conduct pogroms once their Bolshevik revolution is in place in American as foreseen by them.

2. Liberals like capitalism and the free market enterprise that uplifted hundreds of millions if not billions of people around the world. Liberals are for some mild reforms of capitalism but it ends there.

Leftists abhor capitalism, seeing it as inherent corrupt and irredeemably flawed, to be replaced by socialism, and eventual pure Communism. Communism brings economic collapse, financial ruination to all, and leads to cruel totalitarian practices against the people.

3. Liberals are nationalists, patriotic enjoying our American, national identity. They are proud of and insist upon our sovereignty, and borders protected.

Leftists decry and detest nationalism. They divide the world by class not by national identity. They worship open borders, globalist solutions and a real United Nations to rule the world. Such a universal monarchy will be corrupted, and will be one-world government.

4. The liberal view of America celebrates America, as in Lincoln's motto, America is the last, best hope on earth.

Leftists dismiss America as hopelessly rotten, unjust and the source of evil and suffering in all the world. It is so bad, they argue, that it is beyond salvation and reform, and must just be destroyed utterly and replaced by a Marxist utopia.

The Left regards itself as the last best hop on earth without prejudice while Americans are racist, feminist while Americans are sexist, gentle while Americans are violent, coexisting with other people in harmony and peace, whereas Americans are xenophobic,imperialistic and warmongering.

How do they extend Marxist revolution without violence, war, armed struggle and world conquest? They pretend to support feminism, racial openness and justice but in reality all citizens end up as slaves of the totalitarian government over them all, and thus the dignity, liberty and worth of every citizen is trampled and degraded. How can they hate the West, ever plotting its demise without expressing their reverse xenophobia as they conspire to eliminate Westernism from the face of the earth?

5.  Liberals revere freedom of speech, wholly disapproving of "hate speech" and politically incorrect speech while declaring their readiness to fight and die for the right of conservatives and others to speak as they will without interruption, censorship or arrest.

Leftists are quite comfortable with suppressing free speech, any speech that they disagree with. At campus, in the workplace and in the government and tech companies, the suppression of free speech is widely practiced by Leftists.

6. Liberals love Western civilization and are proud of its intellectual giants whose moral, philosophical, artistic, musical and literary achievements are the envy of the world and much be taught to future generations.

Leftists downgrade Western Civilization as no  better than any other culture. Western culture is white supremacy so it must be disregarded and replaced by just substitutes.

Leftists are postmodernist, Marxist nihilists and they are the enemy.  Liberals must join us in condemning them, and ferociously opposing them.

Spreading

Leftism goes across borders. Aaron is right--gun control can go from coast to coast.

HR 5717

HR 5717 may seem harmless to the naive, but fanatics and gun-haters mean what they say, and will go as far as they can to take away our gun rights and civil liberties. We will be disarmed, subjugated and subdued if we do not fight them now at every turn.

Problem-Maker

Are you a dud, a hindrance to making things better in your life, or in your community? Or, are you, resourceful, imaginative, and a contributor, solving problems, smoothing out wrinkles, making the system work?

Cultivate Studious Habits

Nurture studious habits for your life, so that  you read, think, meditate and dialogue all your life. You can never know to much or learn it all. Stay alert, stay curious.

Note This Total Infringement Bill

Note this total infringement bill on 2A:
While America is on lock down across the country, radical socialists in Washington, D.C. are working overtime to advance the biggest gun control bill that I’ve seen in all the years that I have been fighting for gun rights!
You might think that with the Dow plummeting 35% percent in the last month and with America facing the potential of 20% unemployment in the coming weeks, that these people would have more pressing things to do.
But make no mistake, the crazed leftists in Washington, D.C. (and in St. Paul) are willing to do whatever it takes to try to destroy our heritage of freedom!
That’s why — while the entire country is distracted — Senator Elizabeth Warren and Congressman Hank Johnson have introduced the nastiest gun control bill in American history.
We will be breaking this bill down in the coming days, but you should know H.R. 5717/S. 3254 is the ‘kitchen sink’ of gun control bills.
If passed, this legislation would:
>>> Create a national permit to buy a gun
>>> Establish a nationwide gun registry
>>> Institute a national ‘Red Flag Gun Seizures’ law
>>> Ban virtually every semi-automatic rifle in the country
>>> Make it a felony to buy a ‘high capacity’ magazine
>>> Tax guns at 30% and ammo at 50%
>>> Put you in jail for buying more than 1 gun a month
>>> Force you to lock up your firearms at all times
>>> Criminalize the sale of firearms to Americans under 21
>>> Ban the sale of suppressors
>>> Make it a crime to build a firearm in your own home
And that’s just the start, as this gun control monstrosity is a whopping 111 pages long!
As angry as this bill makes me, it absolutely makes my blood boil that we have to deal with this while Americans are completely distracted with the Coronavirus.
Gun owners need to FLOOD Washington, D.C. with emails immediately. They need to know that we are watching this, and will hold politicians accountable if they support this
bill!
I’ve prepared a PRE-WRITTEN EMAIL campaign that will be sent directly to your U.S. Senators, as well as your Congressman/woman.
Please fire off your emails RIGHT NOW!
 These America-hating socialists are getting bolder by the day, showing us their plans for our Second Amendment rights if they ever get total control of the House, Senate, and White House again.
Make no mistake, these bills are designed to ELIMINATE firearms ownership and Second Amendment rights in America, by choking off the people who can possess guns and ammo — all of which would be decided by the federal government.
Please send off your emails today, and if you’ve yet to do so for 2020, become a member or renew your membership in Minnesota Gun Rights TODAY

Enviro-Statist Misanthropy

On Page 135 of his book Liberty and Tyranny, Mark Levin quotes from an ecologist, David M Graber--note the utter Enviro-Statist Misanthropy revealed--these people are vicious, dangerous and to be be checked and thwarted: "Human happiness, and certainly human fecundity, are not as important as a wild and healthy planet. I know social scientists that remind me that people are part of nature, but it isn't true. Somewhere along the line--at about a billion years ago, maybe half that--we quit the contract and became a cancer. We have become a plague upon ourselves and upon the Earth.

It is cosmically unlikely that the developed world will choose to end its orgy of fossil-fuel consumption, and the Third World its suicidal consumption of landscape. Until such time as Homo sapiens should decide to rejoin nature, some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along."

Note the murderous loathing towards humanity. We that love humans, that support human stewardship over the earth in God's name and with God's approval, will use natural resources but wisely and carefully.

God made humans and our unnatural world grows out of our being a part of nature. We must keep the Eco-haters out of power and work with the majority of people to alienate these murderous nihilists.

Sense Of Hope

Hope is a positive, useful feeling. But being armed and being skilled in the use of arms, gives one confidence that one will know what to do no matter what arises, or what oppression the government hurls at us.

The Creator

Yahweh created the world, set up natural law to run it, and created humans to serve as viceroys and enjoy dominion over the earth. But that is not the view of the Enviro-Statist see it. Let me quote from Mark Levin, Page 134 of Liberty And Tyranny: "On its website, the group Earth First! declares that it 'does not accept a human-centered worldview of 'nature for people's sake'. It insists that 'life exists for its own sake, that industrialized civilization and its philosophy are anti-Earth, anti-woman and anti-liberty--To put it simply, the Earth must come first.

Is not man, therefore, expendable? And if he is, is not the suppression of his liberty, the confiscation of his property, and the blunting of his progress, at all time warranted where the purpose is to save the planet--or any part of it--from man himself? After all, it would seem that there can be no end to man's offenses against nature if he is not checked at every turn."

Levin wrote this book in 2009. He revealed to me how the Progressive worship one god, Big Government. He also delineates the straight connection between how radical environmentalist and their preference for enforcing their pro-nature, anti-human agenda through three connected means: use Big Government force and compulsion to manage the economy and civil society, justified in the name of saving the planet. This unholy trifecta of extreme environmentalism/Big Government/Communist nationalization of the economy are what he foresees as he warns us to fear and oppose the Enviro-Statists.

The Enviro-Statists want to return to human life and society occurring in a state of nature--their deep anti-humanism discloses their hatred of humans and the governmental, urban and unnatural societal conditions on the grid that make them free, wealth, comforted and blessed. Let not the back-to-nature crackpots get their way and seize all power to take us back to a socialist stoneage.

Psalm 104, 33-34

Sing God's praises: De appreciates and enjoys your homage and compliments: "I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God while I live. Pleasing to him be my theme; I will be glad in the Lord."

Psalm 104, 35

It is my inkling that evil and evildoers are ontologically permanent fixtures in the universe--for how else would becoming good and doing good actually mean anything at all?

Snug

It is no way to live one's life to hide and avoid any bad news, suffering, or controversies. The life of a snowflake is not desirable. One need not look for trouble, or act reckless, but  one should venture out into the world and live a little.

Diction

Your choice of wording is always important. Your diction, for the most part, should be clear, concise, well-pronounced, friendly and respectful. It is not manly to use vulgar or scatological language. One need not be a prude. Nor should one be politically correct. Polite speech is acceptable.

Maynard Whitlow On Max Stirner

Whitlow, an early posmodernist and General Semanticist, wrote a famous and influential paper in the Summer, 1950 on: "Max Stirner And The Heresy Of Self-Abundance". He based his reflections about Stirner on what he read and studied in the classic, 1907 translation of Stirner's The Ego And Its Own, translated by Steven T. Byington.

On Page 1 and 2 of his paper on Stirner, Whitlow writes: "For like Nietzsche, Stirner has been all things to all men. He is known . . . as a 'subjective idealist' whose only appeal is to 'the decadent bourgeoisie,' as a spokesman for the 'young atheist school,' as a petty bourgeois in revolt; . . ."

Stirner is a subjective idealist, a subjective materialist and what I refer to as a taoist individualist. But, he betrays his middle class roots and affinity. He worked as a school teacher, and though a revolutionary, he fiercely rejected calls for violent, system changing revolution as pushed the violent socialists, and the radical Communists of his day, like Karl Marx, whom he so deeply upset.

On Page 228 and Page 229 of his book mentioned above, Stirner writes: "Revolution and insurrection (Emporung) must not be looked upon as synonymous. The former consists in overturning conditions, of the established condition or status, the state of society, and is accordingly a political or social act; the latter has indeed for its unavoidable consequence a transformation of circumstances, yet does not start from it but from men's discontent with themselves, is not an armed rising, but a rising of individuals, a getting up, without regard to the arrangements that spring from it. The Revolution aimed at new arrangements; insurrection, leads us no longer to let ourselves be arranged, but to arrange ourselves, and sets no glittering hopes on 'institutions'. It is not a fight against the established, since if it prospers, the established collapses of itself; it is only a working forth of me out of the established. If I leave the established, it is dead and passes into decay. Now, as my object is not to overthrow an established order but my elevation above it, my purpose and deed are not a political or social but (as directed towards myself and my ownness alone) an egoistic purpose and deed.

The revolution commands one to make arrangements, the insurrection (Emporung) demands that he rise or exalt himself (empor-, aufrichten). What constitution was to be chosen, this question busied the revolutionary heads, and the whole political period foams with constitutional fights and constitutional questions, as the social talents too were uncommonly inventive in societary arrangements (phalansteries and the like). The insurgent strives to be constitutionless."

Stirner the bourgeois, more gentle, moderate revolutionary, was not backing revolution as did the violent Communists of his day. Rather, he was a self-styled insurgent, uninterested in overturning the established condition of society, but who plotted, not through armed uprising, but starting from self-discontent, to rise up against the existing arrangement, by refusing to be owned, bossed or directed by elites running the status quo at that time. Regime change, even institutional change is not revolutionary, but only a change in style, a mere coup d'etat. By extracting oneself from the establishment, it will wither away. By elevating oneself as an egoist anarchist, his pursuit of and fulfillment of his owness triggers the only real and lasting revolution.

Further down on Page 229, Stirner identifies Jesus Christ as a fellow insurgent: "But why was he not a revolutionist, not a demagogue, as the Jews would have gladly seen him? But why was he not a liberal? Because he expected no salvation from a change of conditions, and this whole business was indifferent to him. He was not a revolutionist, like Caesar, but an insurgent; not a state-overturner, but one who straightened himself up."

In other words, Jesus, like Stirner, like any egoist anarchist, as an insurgent is a radical revolutionary, because they realize and accept that real change is an internal, transformation, revolutionary and radical. To change external conditions is just rearranging cars in a used parking lot. After all the noise, effort and fuss, no genuine change has been achieved--it is still a parking lot. External, political restructuring of governmental machinery is shallow, transitory change at best. Violence and noise are impressive, but largely useless to bring about significant, lasting change. Only a gentle, bourgeois revolutionary would settle for self-transformation, a quiet, private, gentle sort of change that is the most radical change in the world, as more and more little people adopt this approach. This Stirner knew, and Marx never caught on to.

On the bottom of Page 229 and on the top of Page 230, Stirner explains how Christ the gentle insurgent, the gentle revolutionary, paradoxically, turned the ancient, heathen arrangement on its ear: ". . . precisely because he put from him the upsetting of the established, he was its deadly enemy and real annihilator; for he walled it in . . ."

Now let me turn to a book, "The Syndicated New Articles", the collection of newspaper articles written by Eric Hoffer and assembled in this volume by Christopher Klim. I was surprised and pleased to discover that not only Jesus, Stirner and I are convinced that nonviolent insurgency, reform as self-applied to upgrade the self, is true transformation, but I read that Hoffer too refers to revolutionaries and non-revolutionary, and the middle class as the classless revolutionaries (Page 229: Is a Revolution Revolutionary? March 1, 1970)): "One of the startling discoveries of our times is that the non-revolutionary countries are far more revolutionary than the revolutionary countries. . . .It is now a truism that countries are transformed more dramatically by Americanization than by a Communist revolution."

Hoffer and Stirner seem to converge towards each other in terms of the ultimate transformational power of insurgency as a private, personal act, when alluding to bourgeois, gentle reform as powerful, when worrying that people will worship an abstraction, a word, whose magical sway will subjugate them to serve it unquestionably as true believers. Eric Hoffer little directly alludes to egoism, or anarchism, but there are hints of his support for these concepts.

Proposed Covid-19 Lockdowns Of Entire States

We should worry lockdowns or government-declared martial law (Levin tonight suggest that it is unconstitutional.) becoming permanent tyranny. Is killing the economy and killing our constitutional republic worth going through to save lives, however many or few. Answer: the price is too high. There has too be a voluntary, less severe way to protect public health.

The dire prediction of lockdowns being necessary to be implemented to prevent 100,000 deaths per state is likely a false, alarmist prediction goading the public to stampede and be willing to dump their free market systems, their way of life, their freedoms and their inalienable rights, including the right to bear arms.

The alarmist Left is ever ambitious, taking advantage of every crisis, turning a moehill into a mountain, the sly agenda being to stampede a frightened, irrational, hysterical citizenry into the waiting arms, begging the federal Leviathan to rescue them. That God of the Left, Big Government, benevolent, trusted and loved is only to happy to kill a gnat with a hammer, setting up martial law from coast to coast to reestablish public health.

For conservatives and libertarians, small, limited but strong federal government is acceptable, but executives, state or federal, with unlimited powers under lockdown may just decide that martial law is the new normal. We conservatives and Libertarians reject the legality of such a power grab. This cure is worse that the putative disease.

The Cry For Martial Law

These progressive crazies are now scared stiff, but they have only one solution for any problem. Give the Governor, the Mayor, the President unlimited executive authority to use force, martial law and police agencies to compel obedience, conformity and subjugation of the civilian population. Tyrannical means to achieve their Marxist tyrannical end, a dictatorship of the people, permanently entrenched. This King George complex of theirs is what the Founding Fathers fought against and risked their lives for. We must never allow thugs in power, on the right or on the left, to grab the reins of power to wipe out our freedoms, to suspend our constitutional rights, to wipe our blessed American way of life off the face of the earth. Fight back now, hard and proud, without yielding, to these Marxist and fascist bastards.

Covid-19 Panic

First, the overreaction will tank the economy. Then they set up a police state. Then an angry, unemployed frenzied public fires Trump and put Biden in as President this fall. Look what overreaction causes: demagogues. Progressives and tyrants convert US to Venezuela. Then they confiscate our guns. I am no preacher for revolution, but this could go real far south, real quick. We all need to calm down and pull the hell back from the brink. Aaron Dorr has excellent political instincts. Heed him.

Declaring Martial Law And Locking Down Our States

I among others am really worried that federal or state martial law, declared for reasons of public health and security, is just another chance for federal and state strongmen to get martial law installed, and then keep it in place permanently once the coronavirus crisis abated. We need Trump and governors to be questioned about this to make sure we do not lose our constitutional republic forever.

Is Trump An Anti-Gun-grabber?

We need to vote for Trump despite his past weakness on gun control. He recently has promised to support 2A rights, but we require the American Firearms Coalition to get to him, and remind him that Red Flags and universal background are off the table, while federal reciprocity, federal constitutional carry and national stand your ground laws are a legislative agenda that the Donald can push at Congress. This would reassure nervous gun owners that Barr, Wayne and the NRA are not guiding the Donald to infringe on our gun rights. If Trump would promise or have introduced these measure this summer in Congress by Senators and by Louis Gohmert, Republicans and blue dog Democrats could put the Donald back in this fall. As for Klubuchar we just need to vote this snide gun-grabber out of office.

Get Organized

If you wish to lead a successful life as a living angel, you must get organized, plan your path, and then get after it in a logical, progressing way.

Blandford Parker, 11 months ago

Parker had this earlier video on Jordan Peterson. He refers to Peterson as a rational, male, conservative intellectual, the cultural hero of alienated, angry white young men refuting political correctness, feminist ideologues and Progressive postmodernism.

I think Parker is smart and learned and understands Peterson. I think Peterson is a good man and a wise man that want Western civilization to be saved, restored, made great again, and he wants young Western men to enjoy their individualist lives, to be strong competent men, useful to the women in their lives, and by extension, useful to themselves.

Blandford Parker

Parker has a video out about 9 moths ago in criticism of Jordan Peterson. The title of the video is: Is Jordan Peterson right about Nietzsche? Parker advocates that Peterson makes errors in relying on his two of his secular saints--Freud and especially Nietzsche.

Parker seems like a brilliant, eloquent Professor, certainly a liberal but probably not a Leftist. He is a retired English professor. He likes much about Peterson but dislikes that Peterson is so dismissive of Marx, an evil, totalitarian Communist thinker that should no credibility with anyone anymore. Jordan so discounts Marx and it is the appropriate, reasonable response.

I know little about Freud but Parker is worried that Peterson's affinity for Freud and especially Nietzsche is  idolizing and sanctifying two of the major contributors to postmodernist nihilism that is ruining and annihilating Western civilization. If I may interpret Parker, he is concerned that Peterson is adulating Freud and Nietzsche, two of the leading introducers of nihilism and postmodernism, the very forces of meaninglessness and barbarism that Jordan wants to inspire young people to refute as they as individuals find meaning in their lives and develop themselves.

Parker defends Marx and suggests that Nietzsche adulation led right to Hitler. Parker impugns Nietzsche as willing to wipe out the common people, as dismissive of Christ and Socrates, two heroes for Parker. Parker has a point and when Peterson recovers his health, he may need to answer these points.

For myself, I would not pay much attention to Freud, have no regard for Marx, but think that I can see why Jordan finds Nietzsche appealing. Nietzsche championing of the superman can lead to Nazism, but more importantly I imagine that Nietzsche was for average men become supermen through self-realization and hyper-individualism, and it could be that Peterson identified these same implications growing out of Nietzsche.

Socialism Impending

We are a people in grave danger and the hour is quite late.

Hate Speech

Jordan Peterson does not want the government controlling or punishing those that use hate speech or refuse to use preferred pronouns brought for by transgenders.

He is 100% right. The right to free speech must be almost wholly unrepressed, not compelled, and not regulated by government. Tyranny is compelled speech, and we will stomach none of that in a constitutional republic.

He/She/They

Abigail Shirer did a Prager U video about a year ago on Preferred Pronouns or Prison: He/She/They/Ze/Co/Thon.

She begins her video with a famous concept: totalitarian elites plot to control the thoughts of the masses by controlling their words. She is alarmed that this alien thought and practice is now being implemented in America.

The landlords, teachers, professors and health care workers are already being forced to us language against their will or conscience. If they do not conform to compelled speech they can lose their business, their jobs, get fined or even suffer jail time.

She commented that Jerry Brown passed a bill in 2017 that health care workers, if intentionally refusing to use the transgender person's preferred pronoun of choice, they could face legal sanctions.

It was immaterial if the worker adopted the biologically based view that one's chromosomes at birth determine the baby's sex as male or female. It matters not if the worker holds the Christian viewpoint that sex is biological and binary, God's purposeful creation.

Shrirer insists that compelled speech if un-free speech, and that is unconstitutional, undemocratic and wrong.

The authoritarian Left seeks to stifle debate and to silence dissident that believe that sexual orientation is biollogically predetermined, not a mere social construct assigned at birth.

I side with her totally.

As individuating, anarchist supercitizens, we will need radical free speech so that we use the language in a way that expresses our outlook and opinions that comprise our personal narrative, our poperty and our verbal anthem shared with the world at large.

Halt All Immigration

Laura Ingraham advises that we end all immigration during this Covid-19 outbreak. Amen.

On The Prowl

Though they are without wisdom, tyrants are forever prowling about, scheming to grow the state, and deprive us of our Constitution and our rights.

Stay Calm

We never want to panic. We do not want lose our constitutional republic due to mass hysteria serving as a ruse for power-hungry politicians to deprive us of our rights and liberty, so that martial law imposed during this crisis lead to the installation of a permanent, federal dictatorship.

In Session

When the Capitols are in legislative session, if citizens were alert, they would be permanently alarmed, vigilant and hyper-scrutinizing what their legislators are up to on a state and federal level.

The purpose of this constant monitoring and straw vote taking among legislators is to make sure they are not growing government, wasting money and growing tyranny at the expense of lost liberty and lost income in the civil, business and private sphere.

For 100 years, the statists in America have grown government and tyranny at the expense of the individual, his privacy and his liberty. This must stop, so, when they are in session, they need be bossed, shackled, never trusted and heavily supervised to keep them from giving away the farm.

Permanent Results

We often regret some moves that we made years ago, but those past decisions, wise or foolish or disastrous, cannot be revoked.

All we can do is own them, and move forward, doing better now that bitter experience has enlightened us.

Scary Jordan

Psychology Today carried an 8/26/2019 article written by Ilana Simons, Ph.D.. The article was: Jordan Peterson: His Attractive Power: Why the famous psychologist thrills and scares me.

She describes Jordan as a psychologist with a cult-like following, now a famous celebrity due to his public opposing of Canadian Bill C-16, a law that protected diverse Canadians. Jordan spoke out as refusing to be compelled to refer to transgenders by their preferred pronouns in his personal speech as a free speech issue, even if he would be jailed for violating C-16.


Simons writes: "His position sparked both outrage and support, and his articulate fight for individualism has skyrocketed his image since."

He is a YouTube video sensation with over 2 million viewers.

Simons writes: "His rallyig cry, 'Clean up your room,' is a psychologically minded call to self-reliance. In his podcasts and videos . . ., he emphasizes personal responsibility, discipline and confidence in personal growth."

Jordan is for us becoming strong, self-sustaining individuals that lead and make something of our lives. We know hurt, loss, doubt and uncertainty but that is not enough. I have a similar if more specific and more powerful message to young people in my Mavellonialist invitation for them to self-realize, but he anticipates what I am offering.

Let me quote Simons further: "He does this, many would argue, at the expense of a more nuanced understanding of our grossly uneven playing field. He focuses on what an individual must do to improve himself, ardently rejecting the victim stance, but paying minimal respect to the forces of our society--like low minimum wage, the massive power of the rich over the poor, racism, and the housing crises--that make the American Dream an impractical and even sadistic tease for many."

Simons is a Marxist claiming that unless Jordan adopts her lament for the poor victims of social injustice (people like GLBTQs, people of color, women, the disabled, foreigners, the poor), his understanding is shallow--not nuanced, subtle and penetrating like that of a social justice warrior like her. He either denies the gross, unfair, even playing field in capitalist America or he even endorses it, justifying that class society is hard-wired into us for 350 million years so hierarchies are inevitable, and there will always be a king lobster, and his 100th wife way down the pecking order. All she can do is improve herself as an individual and not try to change the status quo, genetic destiny that stratified living entails. He sniffs at victim status, and she champions all the dispossessed and have nots, advocating the need for a Marxist dictatorship to right the ship in America.

Jordan like me does not think America is unjust, unfair, prejudiced or in need of more than mild, gentle, voluntary reforming without government mandate. We both reject all of this Leftist tyranncial push to transform America forever.

Where Jordan and I differ is that while I do not deny that our genetic predisposition is to live in social hierarchies with uneven amounts of status, wealth and power distributed unevenly among the population in the various classes, I do not accept such genetic proclivity as future inevitability. I see humans as born depraved, as psychological altruists that hate themselves. Despite being encumbered by this powerful  orientation to the outer world, especially when bumping into other people in our communities, and in the thousands of communities that make up society, we can train our self-individuating, our normative psychological side to live as living angels, as individuating anarchists, supercitizens on a free market constitutional republic that will go a long ways towards alleviating the inequities inherent to class living that so frustrate and anger Leftists like Simons, without their using violent force to smash Western society to pieces as they force us at the barrel of a gun to live under Leninist authoritarian regime, whether we like it or not.

She admires him in many ways and describes these attributes at length in her article. Her 15 minute video on him is charming, sharp and captures him as a person, a cultural leader and lecturer.

She worries about his following of young white males and fears that they will turn fascist. Actually, young men are without role models now, and they need Jordan to guide them to clean their rooms, grow up, work, be good fathers and family men, strong, confident, competent and caring. That is his message and Hoffer, Bly and I have been harping on this for decades.

Read her article. It is an insightful introduction to Peterson.

We Need Technology

It is obvious to me that humans are apart from nature, and must rule over nature. We do not want to rape nature, or pollute it or use up all its resources. A reasonable environmental movement is acceptable but it must be conducted voluntarily in the private and civil sectors of society, not driven by big government mandates and social engineering.

The revolutionary, Communist thrust under the New Green Deal to nationalize the energy industry and take over all of society is the kind of environmental terrorism and totalitarian take over of society that we cannot stomach.

Capitalism, freedom, Westernism, fossil fuels and human technology have all greatly benefited humanity. As Levin writes on Page 139 of Liberty and Tyranny, the many benefits of Human Culture/Science/Technology must not be allowed to be wiped out by the Enviro-Statist conspiracy: "For the Conservative, scientific and technological advances, especially since the Industrial Revolution, have hugely benefited mankind. Running water and indoor plumbing enable fresh water to be brought into the home and dirty water to be removed through a system of aqueducts, wells, dams, and sewage treatment facilities; irrigating and fertilizing land creates more stable and plentiful food supplies; harnessing natural resources such as coal, oil and gas makes possible the delivery of power to homes, hospitals, schools and businesses and fuel for automobiles, trucks and airplanes; networks of paved roads promote mobility, commerce and assimilation; and the invention of medical devices and discovery of chemical substances extend and improve the quality of life."

We must not allow the Enviro-Statists to use Big Government tyranny to wreck our civilization and way of life.

Do It Yourself

You need to maverize. You need to support yourself and your family. You need to make it on your own, shrugging off efforts by your parents or the government to run your lives for you, and to make you dependent on them.

The free person takes care of himself.

This is what the Left hates: From Levin's Liberty and Tyranny, Page 125: "But it is the Statist's purpose to make as many individuals as possible dependent on the government."

Objective Withtout Hegelianism









How can one be objective without Hegelianism?

Let me digress first with some baseline information First, Hegel is an absolute idealist, proposing that agent, the thinking self, can only have knowledge about the world out there, if the agent, is part spirit, a reasoning consciousness, as is God or the Absolute, that Supreme Consciousness, whose Reason exists and permeates the supersensible world, the natural world and human society, regulation to all these ordered dimensions. God's spirit or reason permeates all reality, though material objects do exist out there, and have their own physicality and reality.

Out of his view that humans are mere cogs in the machine as the historical dialectic unfolds, progressing upwards until the Absolute is revealed in all its glory.

The state, the prince and the church are the big institutions that the individual is to serve, but this kind of subservience is the ethics and politics of altruism, and that is deciding by feeling not thinking, so it is a wierd subjective human approach.

To be objective without Hegelianism requires that the government be decentralized so that the objective individualist comes to the fore as an egoist anarchist, an individuating anarchist, a supercitizen running his canton in a free market economy under a constitutional republic. Such citizens will be intellectual but practical and worldly, rational and logical more that whimsical and sentimental, so this approach is objective individualism without Hegelian surrender of the self-autonomy tot he all-powerful state.


Tainted

The common situation of society can be so rotten, so pernicious, that one is tempted to go into pure isolation, completely withdrawing from the world,  so as not to be besmirched by contact with the world and its wickedness.

The outcome could be a live of a hermit saint, a brilliant thinker, or a pious monk.

  One danger that come to mind that religious communes like the Amish, rearing their children in holy isolation, render thos children helpless to cope with the world, when they do meet outsiders.

It may seem prudent for the young from a segregated commune to have some interaction with the connected and worldly so that the world does not fascinate them.

Complete or partial isolation--which way to proceed. I cannot advise.

Radical Individualism

Jordan Peterson wants us to move away from identity politics and take hold of radical individualism, the final answer, the apex for Western Civilization. I go along with this suggestion.

Be Confident

Be confident in your opinions but not dogmatic. A haughty, fanatical stance is unwelcome, unpleasant and indicative of a foolish, unproductive mental outlook.

Authority

A society populated by supercitizens are not a group of citizens to stomach tyranny, or allow those in positions of authority to dominate them.

The Only Way

The only lasting way to end class society will be presented below.

We do not like ourselves from birth, and our self-detesting, group-living, hierarchy-residing way of life condemns us all to be canaille, that our slapped down by our superiors above and who slap down those below us. This endless, cyclical social games hurt us all and make us all unhappy but we are addicted to this mess. We gain not a sense of worth from this, but we believe that this is a normal way to live, and we so deceive ourselves and each other that we are content with this misery.

To move away from this stratified social structure towards a classless society is doable, a society without prejudice, without ins and outs, with the disappearance of and deemphasis on group identity politics.

With individual identity politics made popular and dominant, an American society, a constitutional republic of supercitizens, individuating anarchists, all powerful, but coexisting, working for profit and self-fulfillment, educated, powerful, enjoying peace and union in which all are free and secure.Such a huge upper middle class majority would be a most unique, stable classless society under which power cannot turn corrupt and return to a class system.

Absurdity

Is the universe just one big massless lump of nothingness and meaninglessness, without structure, without meaning or intelligibility? To a degree yes, but I remain an optimist that God created the world or at least created an order world out of the chaos, nothingness and natural bedlam that predated the moment of creation.

Now God's mind runs through the entire physical universe, and God's reason and logic, clearly expressed as natural law now guide and maintain in good working order that cosmos so easily to decline into entrropy, disorder and destruction.

The accidental, the un-explainable, the inconsistent and the patently absurd still reside within all phases and aspects of the cosmos, but absurdity is not the lawless law of the universe.

Stay Real

Our abstract ideas, our universal concepts, are what allow us to think, to infer, to make generalizations. That we think and abstract from experience is how we advance.

Stirner and subjectivists accuse us of abstractionism, the slavish devotion to and worship of mere words that have come to possess and own us. Point taken.

Coronavirus Overreaction

Precautions are one things. Hysteria is unnecessary and leads to panic. We need leadership and citizens to be careful, steady, logical and firm. We will survive this, and must not allow the Left and other haters of America to use this crisis to advance an agenda perilous to America and its people.

No Healthy Pride

Born depraved, we naturally hide in groups and group-live to succeed at deceiving the world and ourselves that we are okay as we are, and need change nothing about our lives.

That God is calling us personally to take up the sword and shield, to fight the good fight against the forces of darkness through a life of individuating, individual-living and temperate optimism--this frightening, ponderous call to arms and to fulfill our obligations is the one central truth that almost all of us avoid, shrink away from, hide from and even deny, such trumpeted beckoning from the blaring trumpets of the Good Spirits, is occurring.

As we hide in our groups, as cogs and nonentities in our hierarchical structures, endlessly vowing shibboleths supportive of the collective abstraction that we serve, we repel the presence and communication from God and the Good Spirits, favoring instead the altruist power of powerlessness, that cause of Dark Couple, whose cherished ism we are willing to die for, so that its vitiating stench and putrid rot can be spread all across the land, rendering all defeated and subject to the dictates from the Dark Couple. There is the equality of the mob, and equality of outcome, a socialist dystopia underwhich the collective is the worshiped end-all and be-all, and never has pecking order, centralized power and hierarchy been so implemented and reinforced.

Born Depraved

We are born depraved. This means that we are psychological altruists (instinctively group-oriented and other-centered, the source of natural selfishness). This means we naturally suffer from low self-esteem and do not like ourselves. Since we loathe ourselves, we are filled with emotions of hatred, anger, frustration and resentment. We attack ourselves and others to temporarily be rid of these hurtful feelings, but it is a most ineffective palliative. All it does is makes us more sick emotionally and spiritually, and corrupts the individuals in the community, and poison all interactions.

The solution is to raise up a generation of children as normative egoists (Socially nurtured to reinforce their weak, innate sense of enlightened self-love so that they self-actualize as adults, individual-live, and lead normal, sane self-centered lives, the mode of existence which fosters a good habit of learned egoistic selflessness and self-control that leads to love of the self, and through this indirectly to the love and benevolent treatment of others.).

Normative egoists enjoy sensible, tranquil self-esteem that allows and indeed internally mandates for them and of them that they also esteem and treat well all other individuals. When normatively egoist adults operate in society, their emotional state is one of calm equilibrium, contentment (not smugness or complacency) love, healthy pride, a feeling of enjoyment, perhaps even happiness. As more and more adults enjoy this healthy, egoistic frame of mind, as a civil society, a complex cluster of thousands of unions of egoists, social cooperation, mutual appreciation and harmony will likely break out.

We need to reject the moral training of Christianity and all traditional religions everywhere because they roughly see other-centeredness as loving and good, and self-centeredness as selfish and wicked. Satan and Lera have duped all the participants of the good traditional religions to train their adherents how to hate themselves and others, thereby keeping depraved followers living in corruption, sin and darkness as group-livers.

We need to enlighten and to reassure traditional believers that they can keep and worship their original faiths going forward while embracing a new moral code--to live as moderate, self-loving, individual-living self-realizers that strive to reach the existential status of living angels in service to the Mother and Father, those Ultimate Individuators.

Individualists, as enlightened egoists, are much more loving of the self and others, than are the attitudes and practices of millions of unenlightened altruists. As people live as individualistic individuators, left alone to do their own thing, then the social harvest will be the presence of more love and a love of the highest quality. It will be a desired, memorable, grand and retained transition.

Become Tolerant

 Accepted political correctness, everywhere now enforced in America, even in the workplace, is allowing whites, males, Christians and Americans to be legally offended and victimized, while the intersectionalized groups of victimized identity groups (including Muslims) cannot be offended or discriminated against socially or legally, but members of these selected, victimized groups are allowed to victimize, to discriminate against and to attack members of the alleged oppressor groups (whites, males, Christians and Americans). That pattern is reverse discrimination, hypocritical, unconstitutional and must end. Let none discriminate against any and let none of it be socially or legally tolerated. Let us all be regarded as individuals and Americans first, and what our identity group affinities are, while important and interesting, are not all that relevant in civil society and in the workplace. What American Muslims do not seem to admit or realize is that modern Christianity is pretty tolerant--it was intolerant hundreds of years ago--and that modern Islam and its Muslim need to modernize, moderate and be much more tolerant than most of its members seem to be.

The Fragile Flower

Freedom is a fragile flower that dies easily, despite our best care. Tyranny, however if everywhere and spreading like a tough, aggressive white dandelion about to explode over onto the neighbor's yard.

Epistemology And Moderation

When I apply the metaphysical principle of moderation to epistemology, I am starting to craft a epistemological view of reality that I have worked on or sensed was the reality about knowledge for many years.

This continuum is crude and simplistic, but is indicative as I seek to be more fluent in discussing epistemic concerns.

From Left to Right we have: Extreme skepticism, moderate skepticism, fallibilism, dogmatism and strong infallibilism.

Extreme skepticism would be the stance that one is justified in one's unmitigated denial that certain or objective truth does not exist, or, even if it was, would not be intelligibly accessible by the human mind.

Weak skepticism or mitigated skepticism would be one's outlook if one asserted that there may some beliefs that are accepted as knowledge, albeit not universally are necessarilt true.

Fallibilism, is a roughly moderate approach to knowing that we can know something for sure--perhaps a direct, intuitive apprehension of God's existence or presence, or logical and mathematical truths, a common sense perception of objects outside the self, and the personal apperception of self-consciousness, but I do not know with utter certainty  that I know anything or for sure that I do not know anything at all. Still, I would suggest that achieving probable certainty is very possible. With that solid basis of justified belief, we can proclaim metaphysical, theological, ethical and philosophical oughts with confidence.

I would avoid asserting dogmatism about having all the answers or the final answers. This strong infallibilistic claim to knowing is not what I believe I will ever know. And so bragging and crowing would turn one into a radical ideologue, and that stance pushes the holder of this outlook close to embracing evil, lies and self-delusion.

Psalm 104, 31

Long, even eternally may the glory of God last: "May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord be glad in his works!"

Without God's Presence, Psalm 104, 27-30

Without out God's loving presence, and guidance, humans will falter, decline and perhaps perish as a people: "They all look to you to give them food in due time. When you give it to them, they gather it; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things. If you hide your face, they are dismayed; if you take away their breath, they perish and return to dust. When you send forth your spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth."

Keeping Disconnected

Every great soul, in the present social situation, senses or openly accepts that he has to keep pushing back all fetters offered by the group-livers around him, to deprive him of liberty, of his self-actualizing, his creative independence, his happy life style.

Until we evolve into citizens that run and live in a supercitizen society of majority individual-livers, this kind of brutal, constant, pervasive pressure to take him down, to ruin him, to isolate and  break him keeps coming at him from all angles, from all comers.

One think of Eric Hoffer, Jordan Peterson and me, great souls that kept severing and smashing all tethers thrown over our heads to ensnare and capture us. These corrupting strings thrown at us by clique zealots, keep sneaking up to grab, to capture, to ensure that none stands out, so uniformity, group identity, group think, utter conformity and static are the community norm. None stand our, and all think, speak and act with one voice.

If you are serious about growing as an individuator, to become a living great soul, you must stay isolated and not under the thumb of nearby groups. You must get liberated from group-living and stay so liberated.

The individuator must understand that the battle between the individuator and the joiners, the crowd, the mob, is ceaseless and never relents. The great soul must  be lion-hearted, energetic, upbeat, feisty, assertive and iron-willed to withstand the withering censure and ostracism hurled against him by the community.

They seek to defame him, to ridicule him, to pressure his new allies so much that they eschew him--all an effort to keep him friendless and alone. He is surrounded by enemies out to tire him, to seduce him into surrendering, or at least drive him to cease developing and being exceptional.

On some level, the group-living individuators realize that they serve Lera, and the life of the group-living nonindividuators is the preferred life style of most of the children of darkness.

The great soul must fight to prevent the mob around him from sucking him back into the old joiner lifestyle. He is a champion, that knight of faith, serving the Mother and Father, fighting the good faith so that angelic living angels of goodliness living their unique, personal lives.

He is the frontier prophet or messenger sending God's love and good news  to suffering lost joiners, self-loathing, living in darkness, desperately chasing after, love, meaning, purpose and and a show of divine affection.

This prophet shares his vision and message of hope and divine opportuinty, real self-empowerment as one of God's living angels.

As a few, and then more, and finally a flood of deserter of group-living convert to individual-living and self-development, they will dent and decrease satanic power of powerlessnees as clique slugs.

Thus the individuator is a spiritual pioneer, fighting for the good against the evil, in this current stage of dualistic struggle between forces of love and forces of hate.

The Goal

By controlling straws and banning choclolate milk, the Left is Minnesota is growing tyranny one step at a time. Mark Levin worries that as we grow tyranny, liberty is lost an inch at a time, until their Marxist soft tyranny wipes out our constitutional republic, our 2A rights. Dennis Prager warns that the bigger the government, the smaller the individual. The Left in Minnesota not only does not want President Trump to make America great again, these postmodernist Marxist purveryors of identity politics (as Jordan Peterson labels them) are now on target to wipe America, our freedoms, our very way of life.

Ideologues

Democrats fight to advance Progressive issues because, as Marxist ideologues, they are true believers, fanatics serving their religion, secular humanism. They believe in what they do, and never waver. Minnesota Republicans legislators mostly or entirely are moderate conservatives, that either believe in the liberal agenda, and vote for it, or at least do not oppose it, while not sponsoring bills about conservative items like expanding gun rights.

Is There No Hope?

Notice that these politicians talk conservative when being elected, and abandon their conservative principles the second they get to St. Paul. I understand it but cannot get over it. I think the thing to learn from this is we all sin (are cowardly and susceptible to being bribed, cajoled or group-intimidated, until we submit and become part of the corrupt swamp. And, if you elected me to replace Mark Koran, I would likely vote to betray MGR too after signing their pledge to protect gun rights.). Is there no hope? Of course, complete, united, permanent, active, informed grassroots involvement in state and federal politics is the only hope, and MGR excels at this.

Giving Credit Where Due

I try to give sources credit whenever their ideas influence me, or become part of my worldview. I seek to defraud no one.I have watched about 100 Prager U, 5 minute videos, and am watching a few Jordan Peterson videos.

I love the Prager U video with Peterson narrating, entitled "Dangerous People Are Teaching Your Children".

It seems a chilling, accurate indictment of Progressive professors on campus and the damage they are doing to America while indoctrinating the young.

The doctors are teaching young people that America is corrupt, oppressive, nihilistic and patriarchcal. America is the least racist and oppressive society in the world, certainly not nihilistic--like the ideology of the Marxist professors--nor patriarchcal. Women here can pretty much do whatever they seek to achieve.

Jordan accuses these schoolmasters of seeking to undermine Western civilization, and that Western imperialism is the root cause of all Third World problems.

They are revolutionaries out to destroy America and their Marxist imperialism ruined much of the Third World.

The schoolmasters are posmodernist, Marxist nihilists that teach that truth is subjective. We Conservatives insist that tradition is the best guide as we go forward. We want to tweak gently our Western and American heritage. Truth may not be objectively true, but we can know it with high enough probable certainty to avoid relativistic nihilism.

Jordan accuses the postmodernist hacks of destroying campus, and not seek to bring revolution to our entire way of life, wiping it off the face of the earth. College deans seek to root out discrimination where little or none exists. Professors support student violence to shut down free speech on campus. They are language police inventing fabricated gender pronouns. They launch progressive activism. They insist that sex differences are not biological, but are socially constructed. These are some of the charges that Jordan brings against campus Marxists.

Jordan denounces professors for churning out degreed kids that cannot think critically, cannot speak properly or write clearly. The destructive agenda of their resentment-ridden, ideological  teachers has made them turn their back on those dead white males, the patriarchs of Western Civilization.

Jordan lambastes Marxist professors for their unholy trinity of initiatives: Diversity of  identity groups not opinions; Equity, equality of  opportunity is replaced by equality of outcome; Identity-based quotas to get new equity, overlooking merited personal performance.

Three patterns of traditional America are under attack by these Progressive professors, 1. Freedom of Speech. The Leftists denythat people of good will can exchange ideas and reach consensus. Free speech is to be squelched as part of the revolution to install vying, replacement identity-groups violently contesting each other for power in a Hobbesian nightmare world.

Free speech is a tool of capitalist patriarchs so it can be justifiably be suppressed to further the Marxist revolution.

Capitalism is rejected, though it has made billions wealthier, freer and happier. Marxism brought us collapsed economies and the murder of tens of millions.

Politics of Indentiy: you are a member of some race, class, sexual or gender orientation, but not a unique individual. Some identity groups are oppressors and some are victims. The oppressors do no good and the victims do not harm, so I would add that that oppressors are subhumans so anything can be done to them--for example, genocide against the white race. Jordan warns that such ideas of victimization justify the use of power and engender inter-group conflicts.

He admonishes that if we do not wake up the corrupt, campus Marxists, these post-modernist Communists now disguising their real ideology behind identity politics, if unchecked, will ruin and destroy America, Western society as they have ruined our campuses.

We conservatives have our work cut out for us.

In 2016

In 2016, we had the votes in the Minnesota Legislature, but they did not push pro-gun bills. Republicans here promised to push gun rights, but when the chips were down, politicians once again betrayed voters, and caved to the media and the squishy Left. Deep down, most politicians veer to the middle, not believing in or promoting liberty and gun rights. Only MGR is holding the line so far, and we must never relent.

The voters must become individuating supercitizens, recognizing that they are the boss, that they have the power and always did. They must agree on legislation on social media, and then grassroots lobby their legislators on how to vote.

They agree that people are weak sinners, and basically wicked so when, in power for very long, almost all elected officials join the swamp, are converted to the ruling elite, become corrupt, betray, turn on the voters and then exploit them, live off of them, oppress them, and order them about by taking away liberty, by growing big government and centralized power. 

The truth is that almost no human being can be trusted in a leadership position for very long without being corrupted by power. With this in mind, only a virtuous, engaged, highly motivated, very educated citizenry can keep government clean, honest, functional and small.

Even the grassroots citizenry must admit to each other and themselves that they are corruptible by the temptation to amass and abuse the citizen powers of mobocracy and majoritarian bullying of individuals and minority factions by this powerful, united majority.

We have a natural right, give to us by God, to wield our share of political and spiritual power, but that share of power is easily nabbed from us by elites of one kind or another, and then the corruption of centralizing power takes over again.

Only as individuated anarchists and supercitizens can we wield power with a minimum likelihood of abusing it, but we still must be constantly vigilant so that we do not become addicted to this political drug.

Beto

Joe Biden wants to appoint Beto as his gun czar should Joe become President. You guys: come and confiscate our guns if you dare to attempt it.

Sympathy

We can all feel sympathy for the poor and disadvantaged, but promoting the welfare state as the solution of economic inequality has only made more and more Americans wards of the state, while siphoning off billions from investment and jobs and wealth creation.

Keep Us Capitalist

On Page 107 of his book, Liberty And Tyranny, Mark Levin admonishes us to keep our free market system infettered and rolling along. No other system allows so much wealth to be created, and wealth, liberty and indvidualism coalesce together into a remarkable synergy of creativity, prosperity and freedom, the likes of which the world has never encountered before.

Levin writes: "The Conservative understands that if America is to remain a vigorous, civil society in which the individual can continue to improve and progress, the forces arrayed against the free market must be interrupted and their course ultimately reversed."

Leftist Bullies

The Leftist bullies in this country hate the common people. They despise the commoners' liberty, their rejection of control by educated elites. Progressive crave gun confiscation over life itself, as a symbol of and first step towards permanent subjugation of the American people.

Unstoppable

They will not be able to destroy MGR, Minnesota Right to Life or Magasota. We are fighting for our freedoms and our way of life, and will not be deterred or defeated.

Be Good But Be Savvy

It is not a contradicition or source of hypocrisy to recommend that a person be good and yet in savvy in the business world.

Each of us must compete out there in the work jungle, and one must know how to say no, reject bad deals and to side step obvious pitfalls.

Synchronized, Fake News

We realize that their identical talking points are synchronized as various announcers and pundits on many media outlets all spout identical memes. Not an original phrase or thought from among the entire group.

Jordan Peterson

He has been in Russia recovering from tranquilizer addiction and was near death. He is a conservative icon, and I wish him well. Anyone can become addicted, and he is in my prayers.

NRA Bypassed

The no-compromise gun groups like the Dorrs were never against working with the NRA, NAGR or any Republican or Democrat. All that they ask is that the groups and politicians be and stay pro-gun and vote accordingly. If politicians do their job, they are praised and reelected. If they betray gun owners, they are scorned and voted out of office. For-compromise gun groups are reviled. The Dorrs are not scammers. They just do not mess around. What suck-ups, RINOs and politicians see is what they get. Take it or leave it.

Bloomberg

Bloomberg is a fascist and promoter of the nanny state. As President for life, a disarmed public will be easier to get around, beat up and subdue.

Psalm 104, 24

God, that brilliant and wondrous creator, made the world and ordered it: "How manifold are your works, O Lords! In wisdom you have wrought them all--the earth is full of your creatures."

Psalm 104, 1-2

Praise God everyday just for always being there for you: "Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord, my God, you are great indeed! You are clothed with majesty and glory, robed in light as with a cloak."

Supercitizens

Supercitizens will control and keep decentralized power in two ways.

The first, negative way is that each adult supercitizen, an armed, prosperous, virtuous, independent-thinking, politically astute, profit-making, individual-living, individuating anarchist and heavily involved in the political process of running his village, canton, state and federal government, is able to wield significant but limited personal and political power as an engaged, formidable activist in the American constitutional republic in which he lives and rules, whereby he and the other citizens, reach a private, online agreement on how the government should proceed, and then each lobbies his President and legislators, state and federal, ordering them how to vote, not vote, what and how to legislate, and when to refrain from legislating.

When society is ruled by such robust but cooperating citizens, political, economic, civil and communal power are decentralized and shared with a rough, approximate and governmentally unregulated balance of power about equally distributed amongst the voters. Where power is not concentrated, it cannot easily turn corrupt or corrupt its wielder, and thus because all these supercitizens wield real power, they cancel each other out, and keep power distributed through out the community, and thus harmless in effect.

The second and positive way that each adult supercitizen wields power is that God gave each of us a natural and unalienable right to wield our share of power as individuators as we become all that we can be while chasing after life, liberty, property and personal happiness.

Each supercitizens will require the constitutional republic and its federal structure to guarantee his liberties while restraining federal power-wielders from so growing government and amassing sickening power to themselves so that they can establish tyranny over the people, stealing from them their share of power that is theirs as citizens to enjoy, exercise and administer in their private sphere as they deem wise and prudent to undertake.

These supercitizens will agree that, as part of their social contract, to obey the golden rule to treat other supercitizens as they wish to be treated. As ethical egoists, each will do his own thing and wield his power while accepting and recognizing that the inevitable disputes and collisions arising from neighboring supercitizens bumping up against each other--that such disputes will be resolved peaceably through negotiation and compromise worked out between the combatants.

When a supercitizen loves himself, he accepts that love of neighbor is a secondary moral motive for him, but it is one that must be obeyed for his sake, for the neighbor's sake and for the preservation of the common good. All supercitizens agree to resolve disputes in such a way as to allow common sense, good faith bargaining, fair play, honesty, reasonableness, graciousness to satisfy both parties, with their solemn pledge to honor solutions reached.

In this way the spontaneous order that keeps the economy ticking and expanding, that allows all to enjoy their power, resources and property without depriving a neighbor of her justly deserved power and rights as a part of a community and country grounded in ordered liberty are preserved and power relationships remain healthy, uncorrupted and dispersed through out a free society of happy well-off people.

Current Hate Crimes

When black youths, as a mob of 7 black youths, attacked a white, Christian boy outside that church festival in Norwood, Ohio, the attack was unprovoked as sudden. The Progressive culture out of which those black boys came favor identity politics, or white heterosexual males against all other groups. This innocent 13 year old white boy is automatically labeled a privileged, future oppressor of blacks and any other conceivable victim group, based upon his gender, gender-orientation and his skin color, so an early attack on him is justified and dismissed. This reverse discrimination is a hate crime by blacks against a white teen. It will in 20 years or so lead to pogroms against whites, and genocide if we do not rear all our blessed children is individuators first that individual-live, and white must stay armed and feisty to repel any attackers anywhere at any time. The meek do inherit the earth--they get gassed in concentration camps. Hate-crimes charges should be brought against these 7 black boys to make examples of them to end this attacks now before this social cancer spreads.

My Paradoxical Take On Ethical Motivations

It occurs to me that there are two paradoxes in evidence below. There are existentially real paradoxes internal to the lives and ethics of altruists and in the lives of existent egoists.

For  my way of seeing the world, selfishness is most commonly expressed and exhibited by those of altruistic ethical training and that group-live.

By contrast, selflessness and generosity are best exemplified in the behavior and practices of normative egoists that individuate, individual-live and pursue their enlightened self-interest for their direct personal good, and for the powerful but indirect benefit that best serves the common good.

The Mother and Father are normative egoists and individual-living, so normative egoism as unfolding in the lives of pious self-realizers is the stance for living angels that they want to see acted out across the land.

Cultured

We conservatives disdain the Progressive culture now enveloping too much of our society. Indeed, it is a public manifestation of their aggressive, no-holds-barred mass movement, and  their cunning goal is to gut America from within, replacing the American way with the European-style, secular humanist culture of the 1980s.

What we will have when they are victorious is a giant hell-hole, a hybrid monster born of  four grandparents: social engineering, Venezuelan economics, Cuban strongmanism and California-like bloated nanny state.

125,000 Abortions Per Day Committed

When Progressive promote killing babies on this scale, it is obvious that the fetuses, demeaned as just a mass of cells, are for them, mere objects, whose organs can be removed for sale, while the aborted fetuses are still alive. That such abominable, horrifying practices are legal and countenanced demonstrates the naked truth: the future world of the Left is a cultural landscape of death, soullessness and utter corruption, where adults devour the unborn, the most innocent and helpless human beings.

Such a society has abandoned God and God will abandon such a society to its just deserts.

Trump's Katrina?

These freak, powerful viruses may be much ado about nothing, or may be the new Black Plague. It would behoove Trump to do everything he can short of alarmism to rally the nation, to show the world and Americans that the government is doing all that it can to protect its people. This could become his Katrina. How can anyone stop this stuff at the border in an age of air travel and international commerce? I think he should offer about $4 billion dollars to that Israeli biomedical research company that already claims that it will have a coronavirus vaccine available in a few months. Could more dollars speed the research, brush aside the slow, ponderous FDA approval red tape, get more vaccines to trial or to the public as a last ditch resort? Trump has to lead from ahead and not from behind in a time like this or be blamed should coronavirus become the 2020 pandemic Spanish Influenza killing millions of people.

Typical

Are you a typical person with regular habits, values and attitudes? To some degree, you have much in common with others. To the extent that your shared habits, values, experiences and attitudes demonstrate the "real you", that is fine.

But, as you maverize, your unique insights, behaviors and personality will come to the forefront as you increasingly express your individuality.  That too is to be expected as you slowly, significantly and permanently accelerate your separation from the crowd.

Hit Those Gun-Grabbers

Keep smacking them. Our gun rights are very close to being taken away from us. This is no time let up.
