The Warning

On Page 160 of his book, Plunder And Deceit, Mark Levin writes and quotes 19th century Associate Supreme Court Justice, Joseph Story about what happens when once virtuous, vigilant, alert and engaged citizens, of a great nation and constitutional republic like ours, cede liberty and ground to authoritarian forces ready to take over the government: 'The great mass of human calamities, in all ages, has been the result of bad government, or ill adjusted government; of a capricious exercise of power, a fluctuating public policy, a degrading tyranny, or a desolating ambition.' The fundamental objects of all free governments, Story declared, are 'the protection and preservation of personal rights, the private property, and the public liberties of the whole people. Without accomplishing these ends, the government may, indeed, be called free, but it is a mere mockery, and a vain, fantastic shadow.'" As we edge ever closer to a Marxist totalitarian takeover of our legal machinery, our culture, and the abrogation of our constitutional guarantees, it appears that Story's nightmare is coming to pass. We still have time to save our nation, but the hour is late.

Liberty

One of the most vital natural rights is the right to employ one's free agency as one sees fit. Should one apply this free will to maverizing, a most wondrous, impressive life lays ahead for the committed youngster. The moral person, therefore, strives mightily not deprive another of his freedom of choice. To induce him to serve oneself and sacrifice himself, or to entice him to group-live or to enthrall him to spend his life serving the ism that you worship--all these are grievous sins that you will answer to God for committing.

Life

Life at times is painful, but it is never dull, unless you fail to utilize your faculties for wonder, imagination and curiosity.

Genesis 6:1-4

This entry in Genesis is one of the strangest and most remarkable in the Old Testament. That giant sons of God were supposed to have walked the earth and took wives among the daughters of Adam and Eve--it makes me wonder if this is all myth, or if there were either long-lived giants mythologically recalled, that lived and roamed the earth in some prehistoric Golden Age, or if they were aliens from another world that visited earth to mingle with and give humanity as genome bump forward. Who knows? Were these sons of heaven angels, superhumans and immortals that God separated from humans after this intermingling to keep humans mortal and earth-bound? Again, who knows? Here is the passage from The New American Bible: "Origin of the Nephilim. When men began to multiply on earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of heaven saw how beautiful the daughters of men were, and they took for their wives as many of them as they chose. Then the Lord said: 'My spirit shall not remain in man forever, since he is but flesh. His days shall comprise one hundred and twenty years. At that time the Nephilim appeared on earth (as well as later), after the sons of heaven had intercourse with the daughters of earth. They were heroes of old, the men of renown." Some internet articles on the Nephilim identify these sons of heaven as evil, as breakaway angels that sullied themselves by having sex with human women. Apparently, angels are celibate, although I think that humans are parents, and the Divine Couple and their followers would procreate and have offspring in the spiritual realm. Clearly, Yahweh was worried that his divine spirit was intermingled, through these fallen or earth-bound sons of God and their human wives, with human blood, so he pulled back his spirit so that it would not remain in humans. Perhaps he removed the divine souls from the sons of God on earth or ordered them to go home. All of this seems to play into the mythological stories about how humans are half-angel or half-god, and half-animal, or half-beast, and that is our current biological and existential status as human beings. It could be that God pulled back his spirit from the humans on earth because, in their state of natural depravity and social wickedness, such divine spirit in their veins would make them a dangerous center of satanic power, and that God did not want to see humans reduced to being. His withdrawal of De's spirit, from this vantage point, is an act of mercy and love. Let me quote this passage from the Holy Bible (KJV): "And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."

Neil Young

The other day, I heard Neil's 1972 rock song, on the radio, the one about searching for a heart of gold, and not finding one. Now, here again the artist uncovers a seminal truth. Hearts of gold and rare and precious, and one may never encounter one after a life time of searching for it. Why is that? People are born depraved with bad hearts of clay and silt, and through developing a virtuous character and good habits for a life time, they could transform their bad heart into a heart of gold. It is miraculous but not impossible. My flash of insight that rather than search out there, among thousands or millions of other, searching for a heart of gold, the search should be introspective and personal. One is not born with a heart of gold, but through love, hard work, tireless perseverance, self-realizing and the active invitation extended to the Good Spirits that they enter and abide in one's heart, soul and mind, one can create a heart of gold in one's own soul. The only way to find that heart of gold is to become one. Be that heart of gold.

Half-Way

If you are a half-way, lukewarm friend to a great soul, please cease. Be a true friend, a dedicated enemy, or an indifferent, neutral, third party, but no longer a fence-straddling game-player, competing, hot-and-cold, vying, obstructing, quarreling. Go away--be a friend or an enemy but do take a stand at least.

Why We Fail

By innate preference, by social construct, from laziness and complacency, and of our own free will, we group-live and run in packs. It is thus entailed that those that group-live, by and large, as a group and individuals, are failures, mediocrities, only minimally successful. It is a natural law that we only succeed as individuals. Unless by social construct, by parental instruction, by personal choice, we elect to individual-live and self-realize, serving God as a living angel, we will be at best moderately successful, another tale of wasted talent, unrealized in a life 1/3 lived.

It Is All Your Fault

Whether our sad, messed-up lives are our fault or not, or to what degree we are each blameworthy, these considerations are ultimately irrelevant. What is significant is adopting the useful moral fiction, that any failure in my life is my fault, forces me to think of myself and my destiny as dependent on my personal agency. Once I embrace this useful moral fiction, I am now a person that is redirected on the path of self-realization, I am becoming unstoppable and able to do new, artistic, unimaginable, impressive things.

On The Constitution

On The Constitution is the tenth chapter title from Mark Levin's book, Plunder and Deceit. On Page 159 he rhetorically asks why the Constitution should matter to young people: "WHY SHOULD THE UNITES STATES Constitution, and the faithful adherence and execution of it by public officials, mater to younger people? It provides the governing order of a republic intended to protect the individual’s liberty from a tyrannical centralized authority, and conversely, the anarchy of mob rule." Our Constitution is the supreme law of our land, the original legal framework, that outlines how our government will work and be organized. The people consent to allow elected officials to rule them, but it is majority rule, and the government must not be allowed to become a dictatorship, rule by functionaries and technocrats, or mob rule by the democratic majority, overriding the rights and interests of all minorities, including each individual citizen. These transgressions are unconstitutional and are pervasive today, and we are close to being in a constitutional crisis. Younger people must understand and fight to preserve our constitutional republic, lest the planned Marxist dictatorship now being organized, comes to fruition.

Biden Weakened Our Military

Biden has weakened our military severely. If China attacks us, or invades Taiwan, I am not sure that we are up to the task of defending our allies and ourselves. Mark Levin, on Page 156 & 157 of Plunder and Deceit, his book, warns what happens when our strong, prepared military is reduced or weakened by ill-conceiving, misguided public policy makers in office: "As the nation has learned time and again, it is American military preparedness and superiority, in combination with a proactive and prudent foreign policy, that are likely to serve as a deterrent to military conflict and prevent large-scale, long-lasting wars. Should war occur--and at times war is unavoidable--the United States must ensure that its young service personnel are the best trained and equipped on the face of the earth. Yet at precisely the time in American history when younger people need to be most vigilant and vocal, given the multiple and rising dangers facing the nation, and sadly, the failure of public officials to adequately prepare for these threats . . . younger people . . . support reducing military spending in order to preserve spending on social programs." In the 6 years since Levin warned of this demise in military preparedness and pro-military support among young people, the negative trend has accelerated. Chief of Staff, General Milley, worries about Trump supporters as domestic terrorists, and teaching CRT to soldiers, when our national security is severely endangered.

Degrowthers

The degrowthers are envirostatists and radical tree huggers. They are pro-nature and anti-human. Satan and Lera are more in nature, and the Father and Mother are more in supernature, and in human, artificial society. The degrowthers are front ideologues pandering to Satan and Lera, under the guise of nature-loving and nature-worshiping. Humans need prosperity and a high standard of living and consumption to express themselves per capita as individuators and supercitizens. For them, a minimalist economy is not desirable but will lead to death, totalitarianism and life on a feudal estate in France in 1550. Profits, production and consumption are worthwhile concerns as our free market economy unfolds. Degrowthers are marginal and they need to stay in the margins. On Page 111 of Plunder and Deceit, Mark Levin defines degrowthers: "Degrowthers define their agenda as follows: 'Sustainable degrowth is a downscaling of production and consumption that increases human well-being and enhances ecological conditions and equity on the planet. It calls for a future where societies live within their ecological means, with open localized economies and resources more equally distributed through new forms of economic institutions.'. . For its proponents and adherents, degrowth has quickly developed into a pseudo-religion and public-policy obsession. In fact, the degrowthers insist their ideology reaches far beyond the environment or even its odium for capitalism and is an all-encompassing lifestyle and governing philosophy." Always, these envirostatists attack Americans, their peace, their liberty, their plenty, their prosperity, their mass civilization. Always Marxism, degrowthing and environmental ideology are offered as viable alternatives that will drive people into communist hell. These degrowthers are dangerous and insidious--they must be stopped.

MGR

The managers of MGR posted in Facebook tonight that our right to bear arms from God directly. None has the right to disarm us and confiscate our arms. We cannot serve as holy living angels of God unless we are soldiers of justice, armed, trained and prepared to withstand even revolt against federal tyrants.

The Ordeal of Change

Tom Schactman, in his biography of Eric Hoffer, American Iconoclast, writes the following on Page 120 of the book: "In his chapter on 'individual freedom', Hoffer quoted Pascal's (and Montaigne's) that dictum was made not from a love of virtue but from 'the counterpoise of two opposite vices,' and went on to expand another belief that he shared with Montaigne and Pascal, that the clash of opposites provided fertile ground for change and progress--as he has explored in earlier chapters about the clashes of word vs. deed, workingman vs. management, and practical sense against intellectual sense." Shactman is reviewing the chapters of Hoffer's book, The Ordeal of Change. Hoffer (and me), Montaigne, Pascal and Aristotle are ethical moderates. A love of virtue is found in the blending of opposite, even polar traits or attributes. Note that Hoffer also extends moderation, that clash or paradox allowing music to be made by the stretched soul of the composer.

Vying With God

One of the ancient themes underlaying human motivation is humans vying against their Creators. When humans vie with the Mother and the Father, they seek to best them, to overthrow them, and even take their places. Some hate the Divine Couple so much that they would murder them if they dared or could figure out how to manage it. Such attacks on the Divine Couple are super-risky. The plotters could br killed or hurled into the lowest pits of hell for eternity for their bold rebellion. Let me play Devil's advocate and throw down a challenge to these infidels: If they were successful in killing the Deities, or dethroning them, what will they have gained? If I am correct, then the Divine Couple are radical, thorough-going Egoist, Ultimate Individualists. To rule in their place, the new usurper would suffer from such loneliness and loss of self-esteem, that committing suicide, or going made or utterly wicked would be some negative strategies for bearing loneliness worse than any ohther onearth. The ursurper would be so angyr, so resentful and so stunned by their current, peerless status that they would conspire to burn the entire world down, eliminating all life on earth. God is alone, calm, loving, happy, at peace, and very responsible for keeping the world operating smoothly. God takes care of everyone and everything. So, do you still hanker to be immortal, a god, or the Supreme God? Be careful what you wish for.

Eric Hoffer Anticipated Jordan Peterson

Jordan Peterson is justifiably famous for his deep training in Jungian dream interpretation. He has been applying his expertise to interpreting the ancient stories of the Old Testament, especially Genesis. Hoffer, who may have been a Jewish illegal immigrant from Europe, has some stories about how the fall from grace, of the First Couple, was not so much that Adam and Eve sinned by eating the forbidden fruit, but because their disobedience introduced them to knowledge and power, and that gave them the potential to rival God, to compete with God, and potentially one day, thousands of years later, to overthrow the Almighty Deself. For this reason, God banned the First Couple from the Garden of Eden before they could learn much more or accumulate enough power, technology and power to soon be able to oust Yahweh. Hoffer seems to think along those lines, but I do not accept this because God is so smart, and IQ of at least 4 trillion, and almost invincible in power, that any human effort to overthrow God would not succeed anyway. I speculate that God kicked the First Couple out of the Garden of Eden, not for sinning, but to keep them from seriously sinning, enough to wipe out their fledgling race of beings. God pushed Adam and Eve away from gathering divine knowledge, power and technology to themselves, too advance for their primitive community, backwards culture and primitive ethos of tribal herders. God kicked the First Couple out of the Garden of Eden to save them from themselves, and this act of love was one of indirect blessing, not a curse and a punishment.

Cameras In The Classroom?

Cameras in the classroom? Why Not? Parents have every right to see what activist teachers are brainwashing their children into.

E Pluribus Unum

Out of many peoples and culture come one America: we speak English, we revere our constitutional republicanism, our right, our God-granted liberties, our free market economy--one culture and one people. We do not care where you came from, but you are American when you get here, so assimilate, and be a proud, patriotic American or stay where you came from. Good things for all accrue as immigrants assimilate and Americanize. This is why on Pages 95 and 96, of Plunder And Deceit, Mark Levin writes of the dire consequences now that immigrants being Americanized now refuse to assimilate: "If assimilation no longer means Americanization, then in what kind of society will younger people and future generations live? Princeton University Professor Dr. Douglas Massey points out that as a result of continuing high levels of immigration 'the character of ethnicity will be determined relatively more by immigrants and relatively less by later generations, shifting the balance of ethnic identity toward the language, culture and ways of life of the sending society.’ Therefore, immigration without assimilation and Americanization undercuts the civil society as ethnic, racial and religious groups self-segregate. The problem is magnified further when a nation abandons its own culture to promote multiculturalism, dual citizenship, bilingualism, and so on, and institutes countless policies and laws promoting and protecting the practices of balkanized groups and their infinite array of grievances." As the social justice warrior and Leftists promote open borders and the balkanization of Americans into their identity groups, the country is being torn apart, and that is their dream come true.

Not Assimilating

Mark Levin, on Page 95 of his book, Plunder And Deceit, worried out loud that new or recent immigrants are not assimilating as they traditionally did: " . . . America has . . . been a nation of immigration and assimilation, and assimilation has meant Americanization. Now, however, immigrants are different; . . ." We need closed border, legal and quite limited immigration, and no illegal alien should be allowed to remain, let alone be granted amnesty or a pathway to citizenship. The ones that come must assimilate or Americanize, or more members of their family cannot come to America, and the recalcitrant recent immigrants must not become citizens.

Woke Teachers

Woke Teachers are indoctrinating children, teaching them that if they are white, they are oppressors, as explained and taught under Critical Race Theory. These radicals need to be unemployed, defunded, fired and left without public support or public dollars. Mark Levin, in Plunder And Deceit, Page 80, anticipated this coming crisis back in 2015: "In addition to the problem of teacher competency there is the malignancy of statist-driven political conformity, ideological indoctrination, social engineering, and academic experimentation that have suffused public schools with such agendas as multiculturalism, global warming and the distortion of American history, among other things." It seems activist teachers and administrators want to transform society by rearing children to be social justice warriors. They job is to help children learn, become moral youngsters and serve as good citizens.

In Plain English

On Page 77 of his book, Plunder and Deceit, Mark Levin, pens this scathing criticism about our public-school system: "In plain English, the immense investment of tax dollars in a vast government-run educational infrastructure is buying young people a poor education." At least 50% per student that a community spends on education should be allocated to willing parents to home school, or send to magnet schools or private schools, saving these children from this vast monopoly of public education. Some actual competition would work wonders to remove millions of children from the stultifying grip of radicalized teaching bureaucrats, so that the young can learn and learn to love learning once again, instead of being reared up as illiterate, illogical, mediocre little conformists that group-live, as anti-intellectual, broken little zombies.

On Education

Mark Levin, in his book, Plunder And Deceit, on Page 73, compares and contrasts what the mission of public education is, and what it has devolved into: "Education is supposed to be about the improvement and well-being of the next generation. Learning is supposed to be about learning and discovering the truth by pursuing evidence and knowledge and applying intelligence, experience, and reasons to issues and problem-solving. Unfortunately, the rising generation is the victim of an exceedingly expensive and inferior education, too often driven by statist ideology and objectives, academic fads and social experimentation, and administrative and bureaucratic empire building." Dennis Prager is so disgusted with this expensive, inferior public education whereat woke teachers seek to indoctrinate children and convert them to activism, rather than educate than teach them to think, that he advises pulling students out of the public education system. It is that bad. We need to deschool society while reinvigorating the love of learning, while instilling in our youth the ambition to self-realize.

Drought In The Midwest

We are experiencing a drought this year across much of Minnesota this summer. It is hard for urbanized Americans to transcend their parochial worldview, appreciating that our food stuff is raised by energetic, devoted farmers that raise these crops, and bring this blessed harvest to the marketplace, for consumers to consume and enjoy. When drought reduces the potential harvest, people could starve. Ancient peoples realized that farmers raising crops kept the community fed and alive. We need to recall that connection today. We need to thank God for the plentiful, harvests that we have enjoyed in America for years. We need to beseech the Almighty in the summer of 2021 to send timely rains, so that the urban masses may remain fed and cared for.

Cori Bush

Breitbart picked up a tweet on July 4th by U. S. Rep. Cori Bush. Let me quote from writer Nigel Roberts: "U. S. Rep Cori Bush ignited fireworks on Sunday (July 4) on social media for her Fourth of July tweet. 'When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people,” the Missouri Democrat said. “This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.”' My response: July 4th is about not only American freedom but is still that beacon on the hill over two hundred years later. This freedom is for white people, and all people, regardless of color, gender orientation or creed. This land was not stolen from the Indians (My ancestors homesteaded on Midwest farmland legally offered them by the federal government.), and if it was, or to the extent it was stolen, it is important to recall that the Indians stole it from other native peoples for thousands of years. We cannot discount or ignore past imperialistic conquests, but that is not our political reality today. We cannot undo what has been done to native Americans, but they have their federal aid, their reservations, and their awesome, boundless opportunities to be all that they can be--as do all black Americans--in this freest country in the world. To the extent that black people are not free in America, it is not the fault of whites --unless we count the radically racist and anti-black white Progressives and Democratic politicians and officials that have kept blacks down and back for over a hundred years--it is not that they are constitutionally, economically or legally leashed. It is because they do have and live by traditional American Christian values--they do not individual-live, do not--not enough of them-- fall in love with self-help, maverizing and praising get-richer-as-practicing-capitalists, taking advantage of the marvelous opportunities right before their idea. With the right values, blacks in America are unstoppable and none can imagine the upper level of their possible success and accomplishments. Let me quote Roberts again: "Hours later, she fleshed out her thoughts in a follow-up post, sharing her view of “what freedom looks like” for Black people. Her list includes ending “the slavery permitted under the 13th amendment,” the war on drugs, police violence, and the apartheid systems of health care, housing and education in America. 'WE are the experts on our own liberation,' Bush continued. 'And we won’t stop until it’s won.'" My response: The 13th Amendment abolished slavery and the enslavement of black people. That was a great legal victory. The war on drugs and police violence are examples of whitey picking on black America? If your young men and young women were brought up with a Dad and traditional Christian values, and, if they were taught a tincture of Mavellonialism and individual-living, they would not take or sell drugs, run the streets in gangs, commit crimes involving police and all that crap. Black adults must take each black child by the hand and guide them to adulthood. It has nothing to do with white racism. It has to do with black adults and the nanny state not giving these kids the proper values, and this form of child abuse and child neglect is what enslaves black youths and black America. It is the fault of black adults and Progressives everywhere that they do not know how to bring up their own children, so being basically evil like kids, black kids too often are not making it in America, and this horrible, wasteful upbringing culture is what enslaves them. Blaming whites and America is the Big Lie and will not improve the lives of one black youth. But it does allow them to grow up as Maoists youths filled with hatred, rage and violence, and they intent to wipe out and enslave white America. This is what Cori Bush and her ilk are teaching black youngsters. If black parents and Progressives taught each black youth to love learning as a personal, divine obligation, to self-realize as a calling from the Divinity, black youths could be the best educated, the wealthiest, and the healthiest young people in the world, let alone in America. Whites could not prevent it, would not prevent it, would praise such success, and would wonder aloud why making it for most black Americans took so long to come about. Bush is no expert on the liberation of her people. Indeed, this Marxist ideologue is only about complete enslavement of all Americans permanently to a totalitarian dictator. Cruelty, violence, poverty and suffering are the liberation that these fanatics offers blacks and all Americans. We intend to stop her before her kind are victorious, and we are going to stay armed to the hilt, just to make sure that her kind stay backed off and thwarted.

Lost

Far too often people get lost and forget where they came from. Once their entire country goes astray, as we are pulling heavily under yoke of woke radicalism, they are lost they build a culture of failure. The community of group-livers, like the citizens of Minneapolis, reinforce and justify their failed lives, convincing each other that their crazed, miserable, lying, existence of suffering was the ideal that they worked hard to arrive at. When will the people of Minneapolis, of Minnesota, of America wake up and live right: as individual-living, God-centered, individuating, anarchist supercitizens reinvigorating and sustaining this capitalist, constitutional republic that makes it a privilege for all citizens under her auspices?
