In the 1860s, American states wished to secede from the Union so they could permit slavery. Secession, in that era, was to undermine freedom, not to expand it.
Today, the situation is the opposite: liberty-loving states need to secede from the United States because the federal regime has become consumed by an oligarchy with ZERO regard for the Constitution and Bill of Rights that legitimized a federal government in the first place.
Today, morality and justice are on the side of those wishing to divorce from a hopelessly corrupt, unreformable and out of control, emerging dictatorship.
In 2022 and beyond, secessionists (if they emerge) will largely be the good guys.
If America is to become a one-party dictatorship which routinely disregards the Bill of Rights — and that’s clearly happening — then secession is the only peaceful solution. Living under one-party rule where the political opposition has his home raided and people are forced to undergo medical treatments and endure who-knows-what’s-coming from an armed squad of IRS agents … none of this is freedom!
Let New Yorkers and Californians live under tyranny, if they wish it. Let the liberty-loving portions of those states secede too.
Freedom is not about conquest or civil war. It’s about LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE.
We are out of options. Some still hold out hope for a Republican sweep of Congress in two months, and a second Trump presidency. That’s like baby powder on a rancid wound.
We — the freedom-lovers — have to get the hell out and let the tyrants fight among themselves. Better yet: Let them destroy each other.
HOW to achieve this is a momentous problem. But first it has to be the goal. Without the right goal, we won’t find solutions.
The truly and deliberately evil men are a very small minority; it is the appeaser who unleashes them on mankind; it is the appeaser’s intellectual abdication that invites them to take over. When a culture’s dominant trend is geared to irrationality, the thugs win over the appeasers. When intellectual leaders fail to foster the best in the mixed, unformed, vacillating character of people at large, the thugs are sure to bring out the worst. When the ablest men turn into cowards, the average men turn into brutes.
“Most people can’t think, most of the remainder won’t think, the small fraction who do think mostly can’t do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, and without self-delusion — in the long run these are the only people who count.”
– Robert A. Heinlein
This had better be true. Because if the tiny number of people who still think rationally DO NOT count, then we’re all finished.
How long has it been since you have seen a corporate advertisement, or any kind of advertisement, in which there is a white couple with white children? Miscegenation is the requirement of diversity, which is a paradox as it means there will be no diversity, just a collection of brown people. Corporate advertisements increasingly consist of a black man with a white woman, or a white man with an Asian woman or sometimes a hispanic woman. The heads of corporations and the talking heads on TV are increasingly immigrant-invaders as are government officials, entertainers, and police. White people are being replaced in all visible forums.
The same thing is happening on university faculties and in the arts, if that is what they still are. Being an immigrant-invader, if you are also anti-white, raises your chance of being being recognized as a successful author.
White replacement in white countries is a fact. It is far advanced, but you are not allowed to mention it because if you do anything to defend white people from their intended “replacement,” an euphemism for annihilation, it proves you are a racist white supremacist who, with the rest of your ilk, will soon be “a distant memory.”
Moshin Hamid, a real privileged person, an immigrant-invader rewarded with admissions to Princeton University and Harvard Law School, has just published his fifth novel, The Last White Man. In short, white people cease to exist . We all turn brown.
The white liberals, of course, praise the immigrant-invader all over the media for describing the apocalypse “long feared by white supremacists” from which arises “a post-racial world.” You get it? Once whites are over and done with, so is racism as only whites can be racist. If you are an American white liberal, there is nothing racist about Antifa and Black Lives Matter looting white businesses and burning down white business sections of American cities. That is just restitution for white racism.
Hamid, Pakistani born, is beset with eulogisms from media presstitutes for telling a story told a half century ago by Jean Raspail in The Camp of the Saints (you can read it here: https://www.jrbooksonline.com/PDFs/Camp_of_the_Saints.pdf ), the difference being that Hamid, welcomed into white America via Princeton and Harvard, approves the disappearance, as do his reviewers, of all white ethnicities, whereas Raspail saw in it the destruction of a culture and a shrinking of diversity.
White people, being the brainwashed, stupid, hapless, insouciant fools that they are, have not caught on that “diversity” means the white races are erased. Indeed, judging by the immigration policies of white ethnic states, if democracy does indeed govern, a majority of whites prefer their erasure.
Another favored author by white liberals is J.R. Ramakrishnan. White liberals are swooning over his explanation that immigrant-invader takeover of the Western world is “a form of reparations for what has been wrought [by white demons] on the Global South.”
There is no doubt in my mind that the NY banks and their IMF protector have ruined every third world country stupid enough, or whose government was corrupt enough, to be paid to take a loan that could not be serviced or repaid. The consequence being that the IMF imposed austerity on the indebted country and forced the sale of its assets to foreign owners. This has happened over and over, but it is not because of “white racism.” It is because of capitalist greed and the greed for bribes by third world governments.
The Western bankers do the same thing to white Western countries. Greece, as I last heard is a “white” country, part of the “exploitative Western world.” Only a few years ago Greece was treated the same way as the “Global South.” Bribes were paid to the Greek government to take a loan that could be neither serviced nor repaid. Foreclosure loomed. The Greek government was forced to cut employment, health and education budgets in order to free up government revenues to pay its German and EU creditors and to sell its protected islands to foreign real estate interests. The austerity imposed on the Greek population was so severe that Greek women were forced into prostitution in order to survive.
Clearly what happened to Greece is the same as what happened to Ramakrishnan’s ” Global South,”and it had nothing whatsoever to do with racism.
The problem we face is not racism. The problem is that the weakening by design of the Christian religion in the Western world has unleashed Satanic evil, and the West has failed to confront and constrain evil.
I received an email from a reader regarding a recent column where I wrote that a fear of success could be a fear of being “found out” as a fraud – whether you earned the success or not. The writer says that when she’s wrong about something or when there are smarter people around her, this feeling of insecurity and inadequacy creeps in.
We are trained at an early age by misguided parents and other authorities that we shouldn’t be “arrogant” or “confident” or, as the old saying goes, “too big for your britches.” In some kids, this (mercifully!) doesn’t stick, but I find that with most people it does. And it all comes out in my office after they grow up.
This ill-advised “advice” creates a grownup who feels guilty for his or her accomplishments. The emotional “logic” goes something like this: “I really have no business thinking that I have accomplished so much. And sooner or later, others are going to figure this out and I’ll be exposed.” A rational approach is needed to counter this emotion; specifically, to judge yourself objectively the same way you would a stranger. You might write down all your accomplishments and rate them in the same way you would another’s. If emotions start to contradict a positive self-assessment, then ask yourself, “Why the double standard? Why deny myself the praise and recognition I would give to somebody else?”
The writer says she feels like a fraud when she’s wrong. But being wrong doesn’t make you incompetent. Everybody is wrong sometimes. Obviously, the fewer errors you make, the better. But an error does not make you incompetent or less competent than your peers. Incompetence requires a lot more than that!
These feelings can arise from a flawed idea about certainty. Many people feel that capable and confident people never make errors. It doesn’t work that way. Errors are not a catastrophe. It’s all in how you handle them. If you have confidence in your power of objective reasoning to figure things out — despite occasional errors and corrections — then you’ll have greater trust and confidence both in yourself and others. When you have confidence in yourself, you love your own mind and what it’s capable of. And to love your mind you have to love the human mind at its best, i.e., when it’s thinking, creating and producing.
People with this feeling of incompetence tend to view others as smarter or less vulnerable than they really are. “I have this weakness, but others do not.” But how do you know that? How can you make such a generalization? If you overemphasize your weaknesses and limitations, you’re going to feel like a fraud when you’re applauded or recognized in some way. You’ll suspect, “They don’t know how I really am.” But there’s no basis in fact. As long as you’re being applauded, complimented or recognized for something that you actually did, then there’s no fraud.
Just because you’re not good at every possible thing doesn’t take away from the goodness or greatness in your accomplishment. If you did it, then you did it. Accept the applause with quiet satisfaction. Know that you earned it. And move on to your next goal, confident in the knowledge that you can.
If you accomplished the thing for which you’re granted recognition despite some flaws that others don’t know about, then that’s all the more credit to you for rising above whatever problems you might have. It isn’t flawlessness that makes people great at something. Infallibility is a myth. Look at all that human beings have accomplished to date — from the cave to the microchip, from illiteracy to quantum physics — and ask yourself if infallibility is required for people to achieve greatness.
It’s your strengths that make you potentially great. And achieving success in spite of your weaknesses is an even greater strength.
The Republican strategy re: the raid on President Donald Trump’s home may be doomed to failure.
The operating premise of this strategy is: Bring up the law. Prove that the Bidenistas at the DOJ and FBI didn’t comply with the law; and then all will be well.
But they’re counting on the Bidenistas who run the DOJ and FBI to cooperate in exposing their own already obvious wrongdoing. And they’re counting on the media to honestly report on it. Both assumptions are absurd. If the federal government had been taken over by a bunch of mobsters, would you expect the mobsters in charge to make available evidence to show that they’re running the government like a bunch of mobsters? If the media is 99 percent operated by people more loyal to the government than the state-run media of a literal dictatorship, do you think they’re going to emerge with a “smoking gun” exposing the outrages of the Biden regime?
It’s too late for the rule of law. NOT because the rule of law is an invalid thing; but because the rule of law is no longer in operation. We knew that well before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, which is why most of us were not terribly surprised by it, although it was still shocking.
I don’t wish to be negative. I’m just saying the obvious, aren’t I? The reply to this point I typically get from still hopeful conservatives is, “Well, what are we to do then?” That’s a difficult question to answer. But the difficulty of the question does not give one an entitlement to evade the gravity of the situation we’re in.
Pray and hope for the triumph of justice all you wish. Metaphysically, you’re not wrong. Evil is weak, because it only survives as a parasite on the good. Evil thrives only when the good and the just become afraid. But unjust, corrupt criminal gangs with zero accountability will never act justly. It’s not in their natures. And the fact remains: The federal government is now totally run by political operatives with no regard whatsoever for any rational, objective sense of law. This trend has been the case for a long time, I suspect; and it undoubtedly escalated during Obama’s terms in office. But it’s reality now, open for all to see, even with an overwhelmingly biased news media.
Whatever the solution or whatever the way out — not just for Donald Trump, but for anyone who values their liberty — it’s not the totally trashed, discredited federal government as we know it. That’s a difficult truth to accept, but accept it we must.
