~ ITEM: Father’s Day Wiki

~ SURE WE DADS ARE THE embodiment of all evil, capitalism, oppression, rape & abuse & wife-beating, stupidity and hypocrisy.. but, heck, Dads are Dads, and at the current moment, deeply undervalued and dismissed and mocked-about. From God the Father on down, we’re all under fire.

It’s an essential of the Devil’s destruction of our God The Father-loving civilization; of undermining the State-defying and utopia-stalling family of father, bother, children, and extended family. The Marxists, their institution-wrecking Frankfurt School, the modern nanny-state & social engineers, the abortion of children, easy divorce & punishing for fathers in settlements and custody and alimony, the same-sex parent brigade, not to mention the relentless misrepresentation of fathers and fatherhood in academia and media and the feminist hate war.

Amidst The Tumbling Ruins

Part of recovering our civilization is rebuilding, choosing, and fighting for fatherhood; word to Teh Wymminz– true and strong fathers are for the safety of your kids, and you, their prospering and education.. the Nanny State replacing a father is an enslavement, not a liberation. Men: choosing marriage and fatherhood have always been risky– but that college bimbo is not the one to marry; nor the long-time single who is used to having her way all the time.

We are ever more than before called to be men; husbands & fathers, modelling ourselves on the Great Father of All; defenders and promoters of the good, the beautiful, and the true; to bend our strength and freedom to the loving good of wife & children; to be.. lovers.. in a dangerous time. ~

* P.S. If you like the smartitude and hatefulness and humourism of Teh Binks, blame Teh Binks-Dad. Happy Father’s Day, Dad.

Doing Some Good.. With That Funny Guy

~ ITEM: Patrick McKenna Coming To LME

~ ITEM: IMDB: Patrick McKenna; Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia – Patrick McKenna

~ HE’S KNOWN FOR a tremendous sense of humour, but movie & TV actor/ comedian Patrick McKenna had not much to smile about for much of his life as a person with ADHD and dyslexia. Like him, I was tested in Junior High for ‘Mild Retardation’ (as he says, a real confidence-booster), but tested for high IQ. Unfortunately, there was no name for math-dyslexia back then (discalculia), so lots of Summer School ensued… sigh.

He used his problems to become very good at memorizing, improvising, comedy, working four times harder than everybody else– he also found Second City in Toronto, and people like Mike Myers, Martin Short, John Candy, and so many others who went on to comedy glory. He starred in Traders, and as the nerd Harold in The Red Green Show– and despite having had people tell him he’d never amount to much, he went on to be the only double-Gemini winner (on the same night in 1998) for Comedy and Drama. Since then, it’s Stargate SG1 to The Mercer Report, voice-acting, and feature films.

Make It Betterer

He and fellow-ADHD comedian Rick Green (of many and various shows) worked on the award winning Canadian documentary “http://totallyadd.com/?!”

He and Rick have been working hard across the country– in a time of school cutbacks and not a lot of resources for learning disabled kids– to speak out for youth and adults with various learning problems.

So What, Then?

The eldest Binkling inherited his math-dyslexia from his parents.. but this year got honours and an 89 in math. If you or someone you know is a young person struggling with learning disabilities, consider Landmark East in Wolfville Nova Scotia; or, at very least, donate to their bursary program, or consider supporting Pat & Rick’s Project?

Do some good.. just like Pat McKenna. ~

~ SAD TO SAY IT, most people are morally nice and unimaginative; serious evil does not make sense to them, nor are their sins usually out of the ordinary. Thus the usual “But he seemed so nice” when it comes to the murdering gay cannibal; or, the SS mass-murderer who takes care of his yard; or the smiling rebel wrecker in charge of the United States and the free world, working with the enemy, against American freedom and boring suburbanites and dusty old documents.

Such naivete after the 20th century is an indictment of our comfort, our self-centredness, and of our lack of moral imagination. Evil is as evil does– period. We cannot see the soul, nor the possible darkness there, simply by looking. We cannot know someone simply by how “normal” they act.

All Kinds Of Evil People Out There

Right now, the Former Eastern Bloc nations are full of former soldiers, torturers & interrogators, spies & informants, betrayers and neighbourhood snitches, Gulag guards, all of it. Right now, American government offices have people willing to break all kinds of laws, betray their own citizenship, do political dirty work, mistreat other Americans for their religious or political or societal views– especially the ones who are trying to live as principled Americans– and who, if questioned, refuse to own up, repent, or apologize.. like cuddly old neighbour Michael Karkoc, they were “just following orders.”

Behold love gone mad, willing to do anything and everything to follow false goals, dreams, to wreck what is in service of what can never be. No amount of blood or sorrow or suffering by the victims of such evil need be of concern– utopia is just ahead!

No Limits, No Laws

Please understand: there is literally nothing that utopians will not say, will not do, will not sacrifice to The Cause. Those free people of the West who love freedom must not be so naive as to keep being surprised by what the EU-weenies in Brussels will say; what Obama and Soros and all their minions will say and do; the 20th century of totalitarianism has illustrated just what glorious leaders and their minions will do– only this time, it’s coming to Europe, and to North America.. in softer forms, but all the more deadly and all-pervading for that.

Seriously– Stalin or Hitler or Mao or Pol Pot could only hope for the kind of power the NSA-Europe cyber establishment now wields over the world. It’s planetary-scale eyeballing.

Wake The F*ck Up

We keep getting surprised, outraged, and puzzled by such stiff-necked and cheerful lawlessness.. but, like the Shariac Jihadi who obeys a higher law than stupid old infidel rules, the radical Utopian cheerfully goes his own way, and will not stop though exposed, confronted, and caught out in the most egregious crimes and misdemeanors and cheerful wickedness.

They prefer not to be caught, but they won’t stop because they are caught doing bad things. Apply, lather, rinse, repeat.

Oleg Really Gets It, Because…

That’s why People’s Cube blogger Oleg Atbashian get it– he used to make visual lies & propaganda for the former Soviet Union. You know, the evil state that so many Western Marxists are still totally crushing on– and now trying to creat here: a perfect all-present state, where wrong-think and political opposition will be punished, and unity enforced, and problem people unpersonned, and every child enslaved from birth. The Matrix meets Obama meets Herbert Von Rumpuy meets the malevolent army of bureaucrats who are always there– along with the enforcers– to enforce every little rule.

These new days: partisan? You betcha– to the death. All is measured now by what side you’re on in the topics of the day, and whether you cheer for the latest bizarre innovation, cover-up, lie, and bald-faced lunacy. Or, even if you wear the “wrong” t-shirt to school in Grade 8 (There may be hope, too– students across Logan County, W. Va., showed their support for Jared Marcum by wearing NRA apparel on Monday).

ITYS, Remember?

“Obama’s Prime Directive” by Nutnfancy

~ ITEM: Why The NDAA Bill is Even Scarier Than You Thought

~ ITEM: A writ of habeas corpus; the Magna Carta of 1215

~ FOR THE CURRENT American regime, it would seem that every American.. heck, everybody in their drone-reach.. is considered an enemy of the O-state, even proven otherwise. After all, liberty under law and all the laws supporting it? Very old and tired ideas, written on old scrolls and stuff. “Innocent Until Prove Guilty”? “No unlawful detention”?.. just cannot meet the needs of our time.

Slow-Building The Prison-State

Legally, you have the new immoral and unconstitutional laws like the NDAA, which have removed all of the ages-old legal protections which Americans take for granted, and still assume are somehow in place. Miranda Rights, as seen on every TV cop-show ever? “You have the right to….” Not if POTUS says not. That’s a tyrant.

It started under Bush, and Obama has taken it viral: he left a big weapon sitting on the desk of the Oval Office, for Obama to take up and use for HopenChange. Like so many 20th century tyrants, Obama won’t leave a paper-trail, a pile of smoking guns, or a confession. Off the record.. secret.. need to know..

Not Paying Attention

Taking things for granted.. that things are just that way, and always will be so.. is a privilege and sin of comfortable and safe times, with normally-corrupt politicians and technology. Taking it for granted that the state loves you and all is well when they are not? A way to make yourself a helpless sheep if the laws and policies of an out-of-control government have their way with formerly free societies.

We are on the very cusp of some scary possibilities– and we cannot even take for granted that the Providence of God will save us from ourselves: sometimes, we proud and stubborn and negligent humans can only learn the hard way.

Let’s hope it’s not too hard. ~

Stolen Wholesale

Hilary White on the demolition of marriage in the UK:

For Britain’s upcoming demolition of the legal institution of marriage, we have the Catholic Church of England and Wales, the Magic Circle, to thank:

This from our friend Terrence Weldon:

“At the second reading, there were many Catholic MPs, from all parties, who voted in favour, and even spoke out publicly, some stressing that they were supporting equality not in spite of their faith, but because of it. I’ve not yet seen or compiled a comprehensive list of Catholic votes in favour, but we can confidently expect that the pattern was repeated for the final reading. During the debate, some commentators echoed this tweet by Ben Bradshaw:

Really superb & very moving speech in #equalmarriage debate by my Roman Catholic colleague @CatMcKinnellMP

Newcastle North MP Catherine McKinnell decribed how her support was influenced by traditionally Catholic strong family values – and a gay brother.

… ‘It has been a journey in which I have had to question my faith and understanding of the world, but I believe that the experience has not only kept my faith intact but renewed and enriched it.’” ~

~ WELL LOOK AT even more imaginary American tax-dollars at work, helping the new Nazis! The U.S. will be training and arming the Muslim Brohood Al Qaeda troops in Syria. Then, if they overthrow Assad, then you have a viciously evil well-armed & trained force on the borders of Turkey, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon… and Israel. Faux-POTUS Obama is NOT on our side.

(a) Obama took America to semi-War on behalf of the Muslim Brotherhood in Libya.

(b) He has pumped billions, plus tanks & planes from the U.S. to Egypt.

(c) At every turn, he has misled, lied, obfuscated, and deceived as to his goals in the failed Arab Spring (neo-Caliphate or Muslim Brotherhood takeover of North African and Middle Eastern nations).

(d) If the Muslim Brotherhood wants Jordan, do you really think that Obama will FINALLY draw the line in the sand there?

(e) If Congress knows all about this, (i) where is the debate, (ii) where is the discussion with Congressional representatives and their people (i.e., the American public)?

Anybody who dared criticize his pro-radical adventuring in Libya was fired or out-placed (witness several military commanders). Qafaffi & Mubarak were allies, if bastards. Is Assad worse than the MuzzBroz?. America stabbed them in the back, just like Obama has made it clear to Israel that he`s not behind them (except with a dagger).

Please, someone, prove me wrong. Please, Leftists who yowl for the U.S. to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan, speak up. ~

Behind First Principles

~ ITEM: Great Commandment

Via Mike S. Adams:

“Student: The federal government should not be in the business of legislating morality. Response: You’re right. There should be a federal law against it.”

~ WHENCE COMES law? Morality? Society? All of it?

David Mamet is mostly right as far as he takes it in his conversion-book The Secret Knowledge– it all predates government, or nanny-state, or law courts. Much of the wisdom law of nature and human interaction is handed on after ages-long trial and error; antiquity is at least one test of such things. Yet ancient laws may prove unjust; by what standard?

On These Two Laws

For the Jews, and their Christian cousins, law is of God– both the inward moral law of conscience, and the revealed law of the Ten Commandments, and the completion of the law in Jesus Christ. Thus:

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

That is, the law is inwardly written, and comes outwardly: moral education is precisely forming a conscience in due order with goodness and truth. Yet the three-year-old self asks “Where does all that come from?”

Ultimately, it is part of what it means for us to be made in the iamge & likeness of God– in terms of our reason, and will, and love. God is not another being in the universe– he is Being itself; he is not alive– he is Life itself. God is not good: he is goodness itself.

The Forgetters

This is what TechTopians & Jihadis forget– God is alive, free, untrapped within either “The Historical Process” or “The Sharia Forever”. This is what we all forget– that the source of all things is God; that the good things are grounded in him, and al lhe has given mankind over many ages; that the tried, tested, and true things are not granted and preserved by almighty intrusive government, nor by sword and blood-sacrifice unto Allah.

It’s what Westminster, the mother of Parliaments is forgetting by legislating impossible things like pseudogamous same-sex “marriage”; it’s what the surveillance state is forgetting in imagining that perfect slavery is the best freedom.

God. Like Aslan, he is free; like Gandalf, he is the most dangerous thing imaginable; like both, he is good, and true, and beautiful, and we have once choice in this life that really matters forever. ~

The Reality Of D-Day

~ IN THE HARROWING first 20 minutes of Saving Private Ryan, we see what the young men of the Allied Landing Forces had to go through to get onto the beaches. Thing is, new studies over the past few years (and the records of the time) reveal that Hitler’s “Atlantic Wall” was not the beach, but included carefully constructed, hidden and interlocked bunkers, tunnels, trenches, artillery, overlapping fields of fire, communications, and other sneaky works up to 5 and even 10 miles deep in some places.

Thus, the Battle For Normandy was much longer and more bloody than anyone on the Allied side had expected or planned for; casualties and troop-losses were very much higher; and unlike the static defences such as The Siegfried Line, or the various German defensive lines across Italy in that theatre of war, this was a deep defense.

Thank Heavens

There are three things to be thankful for, in looking backward on what could have been a great defeat for the Allies: (1) Hitler essentially took direct control of the Battle For France; (2) he forbade retreat even to establish a stronger defense, reform units, or save troops or equipment for another day; (3) the Germans had developed nothing like the Allied artillery techniques, which allowed mass-concentrations of artillery over a huge area, when and as needed. In many cases, according to Canadian author and WW2 forward artillery observer George Blackburn, it was only the artillery that saved the day on many occasions, when the weaker Allied tanks were wrecked, troops exhausted, and the Germans fanatically reforming for another counter-assault.

For your freedom, and theirs, and all future generations. Let us not forget, cast away, or carelessly drop their costly gift for us, won against such unknown and overwhelming odds. ~

Now, here they were.. in storm-tossed LCIs [Landing Craft, Infantry]. These boots, this gear and gun, that buddy who you played poker with last night in the cavernous hold of the transport; that soldier vomiting, from a nervous or hungry or terrified stomach.

The ramp goes down. That beach.. those Germans.. those designated goals– bunker, gun, trench, building, bridge. Those bullets… go go go go go keep low, keep your gun out of the water make for the dune shit there goes somebody down in blood.. slow run with waterlogged boots and a pack shoot shoot gogogogogogogo…..

A Different War

Here it is– and here we are. Orwell thought it, from his compromised socialist brain, the will to power of our technological statist utopian tyranny.

Outside and within our walls, the others seek the glory of 1300 years ago– a Caliphate, a world submitted to sharia by threat or sword or nuclear weapons. Is this the shape of the next 30 years? TechnoUtopian Fascism versus a Caliphatist Jihad, with Christians and Jews and freedom lovers and ordinary folks caught between merciless millstones, grinding exceedingly fine, with blood running out everywhere?

I dunno– but the chances seem good.

Here it is. Our war. Our generation’s call to greatness– not because we are great, or worthy, or special, but because the times have great forces and consequences. Every choice has consequences– but that’s always true– but in such times of crisis and opportunity, each choice can be magnified ten or a hundred-fold or more.

Choices To Make

Says Tolkien via the words of Gandalf:

“It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.”

And of course the famous words of Gandalf to a worried and overwhelmed Frodo:

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

And most importantly:

“Eomer said, ‘How is a man to judge what to do in such times?’
‘As he has ever judged,’ said Aragorn. ‘Good and evil have not changed since yesteryear, nor are they one thing among Elves and another among Men. It is a man’s part to discern them, as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house.”

We must seek and do the good; we must decide what to do with our times; and uproot the evil before us, so those after will not have both our work to do, and their own.

What Is Before Us

“The world really is starting
to alarmingly resemble a
William Gibson novel.
Or, dare I say it,
even one by Philip K. Dick.”

~ Hilary White ~

An overweening technological statism in the hands of unprincipled men, and an unaccountable partisan bureaucracy, is the single greatest threat to freedom ever devised by the hands of human beings, ever, anywhere. The whole planet is under surveillance; our shiny things and glowing screens are servants, but also turn out to be watchers of our thoughts, words, deeds, deepest secrets, voices, purchases, joys and sorrows.

Resist, Fight, Watch

Oddly enough, the very web which is being turned against us is also the providential God-given gift to free people of the West, if we will use it. Before the internet kill-switch comes, before the willingly obedient corporate slaves to Obamaniacal statism like Verizon, MicroSoft, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, PalTalk, YouTube, Skype, AOL, and AppleCorp finally choke the world in a technological second darkness, let us cry freedom. Let us remember our heroes, recent and of olden time, of D-Day beaches or The Somme, of sword and solemn oath, or Bible and classical witness.

Remember the Wallace, confronted by the massive force of the English, and the fickle support of bickering Scots nobles, and the terrorized Scots:

Dico Tibi Verum,
Libertas Optima Rerum:
Nunquam Servili
Sub Nexu Vivito, Fili.

Or,

My Son, Freedom is best,
I tell thee true,
of all things to be won.
Then never live within the Bond of Slavery.

As I said a while back:

“…the battle spoken of by Wallace and Bruce is now everywhere, and in the hand of every man and woman who still loves the free West, and the fate of countless people now, and yet unborn.

This freedom is freedom under law, not mere license; it is freedom for each other, not selfish cafeteria individualism; it is freedom to do good, and be restrained from doing evil; freedom from bad government and tyrants, but ever seeking good rule, and just rulers. In that sense, the bureaucratic petty tyrant and the libertarian are twins, not opposites: they’re merely arguing over who makes the absolute rules– self or state.”

Oh, and whilst we’re at it, Teh Binks calls an almighty ITYS for his posting of a little while back: “Watching Through The Looking Glass“. Quote:

“In one sense, such cyber-schemery is also a grand illusion & joke on the powers that be– yet another misbegotten human attempt for certain powerful people to play God (over other people, and the future), trying to create a system so perfect that no-one will need to be good. Ain’t no such thing, There’s crime & sinners & saints & virtue in the strictest jailhouse.

The Lord God Almighty will (as always) laugh them to scorn– but the many questions remains.. how many laws will be broken, lives ruined, privacies invaded, governments become prison-guard states, and how much increased will be the sum total of human misery and degradation increased by the ever-deadly good intentions and unintended consequences of the mastery of technology over free peoples and the future? Nothing to see here: shrugs all ’round.. go back to your 400 channels and online puppies and pursuit of ever-staler pleasures.

At what price this notion of ‘security’? Too high, but the buying & paying for it is increasingly out of our hands.”

Wow. I kinda called it. Binks really is simply amazing, what?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Who watches the watchers? You do. I do. It’s what free men and women can and must do. We forgot.

We all must, or we shall fall into a greater slavery and fear than Europe knew under Hitler, the USSR knew under Stalin, or than America is learning to know under Obama. The temptation to sheep-out will also be stronger than ever, because this will be a soft, shiny, cosy friendly totalitarianism, where the chains of media and comfort food and hoping it will all blow over and that Somebody Will Fix It™ will seem more inviting than ever.

If you are part of this demonic machine, you owe it to freedom and the future and your human decency to leak, record, expose, and pass on all the information you can. Some of you will need to find new jobs, or endure prison. Some, stay where you are to do some good.

Prizes For Heroism

Oh, and whilst we’re at it– a world-class medal of freedom for reporters Glenn Greenwald and Ewen MacAskill, over at the UK Guardian newspaper. Doing the work that almost none of the Lapdog Media in the entire U.S. of Obama can’t seem to sort out, for fear or lickspittling, or “just following orders”, or the love of tyranny and soft safety. Heroes.

I conclude with the words of a Facebook post by Bob Carter, responding to my thesis of TechUtopia versus Caliphate:

“That is a very interesting question, Binks. The parallels and potential juxtapositions jump started a lot of thought on this lazy Saturday. One could see this as a choice as you posed it, though that is probably too simple in reality. Phrasing it as a choice was brilliant and was the key to unlocking my interest. I hesitate to predict anything, having been embarrassed by predictions I have blown in the past. However, IMHO we are probably not facing a choice.

The technological utopian state is going to happen within a couple of decades. I see nothing in the national psyche that is likely to derail it. The ground is fertile, the seeds are well planted, and there is NO appetite to resist…. only to harvest as much as possible without breaking a sweat. The “caliphate” is a bit more iffy. One could predict, with some likelihood of being right, that all of the Middle East will devolve into such a regional delusion. This, of course, brings forth the choice that Israel has of either succumbing, or defending itself with preemptive nuclear strikes. That second choice could go anywhere at all in any conceivable measure of fire and blood. So let me leave that one alone for the moment.

Europe is another question. There is still a chance there that those nations separately, or through the EU, simply kick out or kill or imprison all Muslims. They wait too long to do this and they are indeed doomed to become client states of an eastern caliphate. Assuming that I am correct about the strong likelihood of a tech utopian (so called) state arising in America, and about the above projections re: the Middle East, Israel, and Europe, we are left surrounded and barricaded and attacked periodically with stabbing and sanguinary attacks from directions unanticipated from day to day. Unless, of course, a nuclear winter takes away all choices. Hopefully, God has other ideas.”

~ TEH BINKS– NOT a tree-hugger. More of a God-loving’ nature-gogglin’ sort. But there are limits….

Such as the endless chainsaw-songs of my neighbour, who has all the flaws (and appearance) of South Park’s Eric Cartman, but without the charm. He’s suing me to kill two of my trees, but doesn’t have the $$$ to take it to big-boy court. So, he’s decided to take his frustration out on one of his own perfectly healthy large trees, by very slowly dismembering it over the past month, leaving the weeping wounds open to the bugs, the sun, and all the rest, even as the tree tries to bloom in our belated Spring.

It’s kinda horrible, since I like trees, and think that unless there’s an actual problem with one, that chopping them up for fun is kinda mean and cruel and stuff. So on goes the song of his sawing day in and day out, accompanied by the loud radio in his shed, trying to teach me something or other about something.

Makes me sad. Such is not God’s dominion over the earth, but merest will. I pray for my neighbour, though it’s hard to love or like him.

O LET the Earth bless the Lord: /
praise him, and magnify him for ever.
O ye Mountains and Hills, bless ye the Lord: /
praise him, and magnify him for ever.
O all ye Green Things upon the Earth, bless ye the Lord: /
praise him, and magnify him for ever.
O ye Wells, bless ye the Lord: /
praise him, and magnify him for ever.
O ye Seas and Floods, bless ye the Lord: /
praise him, and magnify him for ever.

~ ITEM: 2012– Obama Not Scheduled to Commemorate D-Day

From Breitbart @ Facebook: “I MUST BE HAVING A BAD DAY WITH GOOGLE. IT SEEMS I CANNOT FIND THE SPEECH BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HONORING THE ANNIVERSARY OF D-DAY HERE ON JUNE 6, 2013. IF ANYONE CAN PROVIDE ME THE LINK TO THE COMMANDER IN CHIEFS EMOTIONAL SPEECH….PLEASE SEND IT ME. THANK YOU.”

~ ALL THE SIGNS are there– Obama seems to wish that the other guys had won World War 2. All those young men and women who laid their lives on the line were bad people– Naziphobic fanatics.

It would have been better, the silent Obama seems to say, if Churchill’s worst fears came true,

“… if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science.”

This is, of course, right up there with the “Queers For Jihad” people in Toronto, cheering for people who torture and execute gays. The Nazis considered blacks to be subhuman.. there’d be no student-visa to the Nazified U.S. for Obama Sr.; mixed-race relationships? Nope. Obama, his Communist mother and grandparents and black mentor Frank Marshall? Sorry, but Communists belong in death-camps.

Silence on D-Day? What are we left to think?.. along with a manifest contempt for the Allied sufferings of war; the death & sacrifice of men and women who served; the good accomplished by overthrowing the racist nationalist socialists, Obama is simply not the President of Everybody in the United States.. only Leftists, pro-Obama Blacks, useless idiots, and illegal immigrant voters.

Forget #FAILPOTUS

How about a word from A Real President, an actual American, a true democrat, someone who loved his country and tried to help and save it in his times, against Soviet Imperialism around the world? Ronald Reagan’s speech from 1984, on the 40th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy.

“Forty summers have passed since the battle that you fought here. You were young the day you took these cliffs; some of you were hardly more than boys, with the deepest joys of life before you. Yet you risked everything here. Why? Why did you do it? What impelled you to put aside the instinct for self-preservation and risk your lives to take these cliffs? What inspired all the men of the armies that met here? We look at you, and somehow we know the answer. It was faith and belief. It was loyalty and love.”

“The men of Normandy had faith that what they were doing was right, faith that they fought for all humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead, or on the next. It was the deep knowledge — and pray God we have not lost it — that there is a profound moral difference between the use of force for liberation and the use of force for conquest.”

“You were here to liberate, not to conquer, and so you and those others did not doubt your cause. And you were right not to doubt.”

“You all knew that some things are worth dying for.”

“One’s country is worth dying for, and democracy is worth dying for, because it’s the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man. All of you loved liberty. All of you were willing to fight tyranny, and you knew the people of your countries were behind you.” ~

* “‘The dog that didn’t bark’ is an expression from a Sherlock Holmes mystery. It was an important clue that led to identifying the criminal. It seems that the killer entered and left the estate grounds one night but without the guard dog barking an alarm at the intruder’s presence as expected. From this non—event Holmes reasoned that the dog must have known the killer and that clue led to solving the case.” Via.

Realling The Real.. Really?

“How is it possible to hold so many mutually exclusive beliefs? To preach tolerance and be so intolerant? To grieve for terror victims and justify terrorism? To stand up for workers and destroy their jobs? To denounce corruption and vote for the corrupt? To speak of liberties and promote government dictate? To bolster feminism and deride successful women? To champion minorities as a group and hold them down as individuals? To care about the children and condemn them to intellectual mutilation? To support the troops and side with their murderers? To demand love and be full of hate?”

“Fantasy.. is going to cause more and more problems,

~ Hilary White ~

~ THE MORE BINKY looks at the world, the more I agree with Hilary White about The Real. We are becoming a society which has stripes of unreality, with various motives. The essential questions are becoming ever clearer.

• Is there truth? Is it knowable?
• Do words mean something?
• Do some things have natures, or purposes?
• What is the truth? What is a lie?
• Are all moral judgments arbitrary?
• Are some things good, and some things evil?
• Are people capable of doing good, and of doing evil?
• Do we have free choice?
• Does what we say and do and think matter?
• Does saying, doing, and thinking make a difference in the world?
• Are there principles worth living for?
• Are there principles worth dying for?

On these seemingly simple questions (I stole them from the ancient Greeks), hangs everything. Our responses to these questions– even at the level of gut instinct or common-sense– tells us who we are, and what’s important.

The denial that words mean things, or that truth is impossible to know, or that everything is merely political is a denial of any possible rational society, liberty, commonly agreed law, or even simple conversation. Actually, this is pre-fascist talk (whether Nazi or Communist or some nicer hybrid), forbidding any disagreement with the “accepted public narrative” of Left-leaning elites and people who think that by following them they are doing the right thing and being “open-minded”.

Under all the nice warm words– diversity, equality, community, and all the other little Itys– are thought-controls, forbidding dissent by social pressure, fitting in, conformity, and the idea that if you say something often enough, it becomes true and good.

Wake Up And Smell Real

That’s the world we live in, where trying to tell an unpopular truth becomes an radical act that can cost you your reputation, your FaceBook account, even your job or financial future. In some American universities, academics who fail to line up on the Leftwards side of things will not get tenure, or if they have it, will be fired on the flimsiest of excuses. Labels, slander, misrepresentation, and the politics of personal destruction ensue.

We live in a world where even if things are obvious, or some political situation or news-event seems obvious, people wait around until some authority tells them what to think about it: power makes truth, as it were. That is an abdication of reason, responsibility, and the hard work of thinking about the questions above and trying to apply them to the world– in line with the received and digested wisdom of our Western Civilization, since we’re not the first or most important people ever, just the ones who are currently not dead or yet to be conceived.

Imagine the shock to the sheep– or the ruling wolves– when events and facts and reality intrude on the narrative, the dream-state we’re all supposed to stay in, a la The Matrix.

• Is marriage really what the state defines it as being?
• Is World War II now on, but in a cold-state?
• Are pre-born babies humans, with rights, and to whom we owe duty & protection & nurture?
• Is the U.S. Economy doomed?
• Is murder wrong, even when performed by the state, and doctors?
• Are soft-fascism and Jihadism in a death-match for world domination?
• Have we made the world worse for all our social engineering?
• Will our children and grandchildren have free speech, free thought, liberty under law?

The real always wins.. we can declare war on reality and be broken by it, or we can align ourselves with the true, the beautiful, the good, the just. There is no other choice, Really. ~

A Thought Experiment

~ OK– ASSUME that the radicals are kinda out to lunch, and wrong-headed and upsidedown, even in some of their decent causes.

Therefore ask yourself this: what kind of things does Political Correctness oppose– and you have a handy-dandy list of very likely good things that are of abiding value, and should be spoken and fought for at all costs.

Because if you look under the rock, ugly critters crawl beneath political correctness… like totalitarianism, thought and speech & behaviour control, bad and impractical and bizarre ideas that cost endless money and good will and even human lives. Political and social experimentation creates madness, death, and endless untold and entirely forseeable consequences.

The Forbidden Unspeakables

God. Especially the God & Jesus religion.

Family. Especially man, wife, lotsa kids type.

Patriotism. Especially the reasonable, but determined kind.

Decency. You know, that there ARE moral and spiritual and other standards for action and thinking, other than what you`re sold on TV, the internet, comercialism, or the Left Wing activist sort.

Caution. Sometimes you have to be hasty.. most other times, it`s a good way to end up down a wrong road.

Minding Your Own Business. The nanny-state wants to eat you.

Capitalism. Even though it funds left-wing swivel-eyed loony-ism, it’s bad.

Adoption. Pill & abortion are holy.

Reason. You know, true, false, thinking, intelligent disagreement. Common-sense.

Facts. Facts are hard, but feeling are soft!

I can and do go on and on, but that’s where we are. So do a mental head-stand, look at the world being foisted on us by too many elites & chattering-class sheep, and notice that there are a lot of good things being hammered and attacked, and a lot of half-baked bad ideas getting too much support.

~ ITEM: Khomeinist Zafar B. Calls for Islam to Assume “Its Natural Dominant Role”

~ ITEM: How the Boston Bombing Suspect Became a U.S. Citizen

~ IMAGINE, IF you will, that you are a resistance-fighter on trial by the Nazis. You refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of the false-messiah Fuhrer, his illegitimate powers, his cooked-up laws and crooked courts, your court-appointed lawyer, who believes you guilty and undeserving of any defence.

That is how the Woolwich Beheader, and the recent Canadian terror-plotter feel. The daily screech from each mosque– “There Is No God But Allah” is not merely a religious statement, but a profoundly political one which affects every aspect of a true Muslim’s life: “There is No God But Allah.. and Sharia is His law”. Islam teaches that the Koran is written directly by Allah; sharia is based on God’s word, and so is divine law.

Accused Woolwich Beheader Kisses Koran, Showboats

That is, when it comes to the laws and ways of the kuffar infidels– criminal codes and human rights and constitutions– those laws are, well, ignorable infidel laws made by evil unbelieving infidels. You obey them whilst hating them when and if you have to, but this is an interim period, before the godly laws of Allah are imposed on the West. You “swore an oath” to uphold the U.S. Constitution & defend America against all enemies foreign and domestic? It is to giggle– of course your inward fingers were crossed, and you smiled as the foolish infidels believed you. Or, perhaps your Islamic identity was imperfectly formed back then, and you meant it– but now, knowing the higher law of Allah to wage holy war, you won’t be going back to turn in your citizenship– because you have more opportunities to attack The Great Satan from within.

Our Background

This is the vital difference between Judaeo-Christianity and Islam. Bearing false witness, or telling lies is to break a commandment– and in the case of Jesus’ teaching, to be a son or daughter of the devil. Although people perjure themselves all the time in court, at least theoretically, they are giving a solemn oath on their souls (so help me God, with hand on Bible), in a religio-legal world where Law comes from God, but where he allows the sphere of secularity to have its own laws as long as they are in accord with basic moral and spiritual principles– and the inherited pagan wisdom of Roman and other ancient law-codes, including the Jewish Law found in Deuteronomy.

Moreso, Christianity did not teach holy war or deception or mass-murder or armed revolution as the basic of the faith. Jesus sought to convert the Zealots, and had two or three in his company of apostles; St. Paul makes it clear that the churches ought to pray for the Emperor, pay their taxes, and go about doing all sorts of good no matter the circumstances– for the authorities and the laws, as bad as they might be, were still in some sense the image of God’s rule and power. Times might be when civil disobedience or suffering or other forms of non-violent resistance might be called for.. but revolt and the sword and the blood of others was not the Way Of the Christians.

Islam is not like this. Repeat that over and over.

Pants On Fire For Allah

In Islam, tactical and strategic deception is every day procedure; taqqiyah (lying when it comes to deceiving infidels) is a virtuous thing. That’s why all too often, Islamic terror-defendants in court go around like they own the place. Their religion, preacher, Koran, and Islamic tradition tell them so.

Infidel law has no final legitimacy, authority, or divine sanction; it will be done away with when the full Islamic revolution comes; there is no act of treachery, mass-murder, injury and death of women and children and non-combatants that is not approved-of by Allah, in the name of Jihad.

Finally, To Sum Up

We are dealing with a dehumanizing ideology, not unlike Marxist socialism, which cheerfully captures, tortures, imprisons, and kills ideological opponents, loyal Marxists, whomever– For The Cause. Or Hitlerian socialism, putting any opponent or bother to the regime in death-camps.

Until we understand this, we will be deceived, and self-deceiving. We value and honour the past– or rebel against it– within a tradition of reason, faith, science, law, principles of freedom and liberty, and all the rest.

Islam is not like this. Repeat that over and over.

Before it’s too late. ~

~ ITEM: Ezekiel 37:1-14 (New International Version)

~ ITEM: Normalizing Nihilism: Euthanasia and the Daily Mirror

~ ITEM: The internet and e-readers are ‘destroying’ creativity, youth culture and underground writing because they beam ideas around the globe too quickly, the author of cult novel Trainspotting has said

~ TEH BINKS IS a fan of a very specialized kind of movie genre– the Rom-Zom-Com, such as Shaun of The Dead, The Evil Dead 2, My Boyfriend’s Back, Fido, Wasting Away, Zombieland, and most recently (February 2013).

I intuit several things about the zombie genre– (1) that is is about us and them, i.e. initially politically of right versus left; (2) It is a secular exploration of undead-life-after-death, of the unspoken thing of death (3) It is an attempt to scare ourselves into feeling something, that there’s more to life than what is; (4) Is is an exploration of the sense that we are dead, seeking life, and asking what has our denatured rootless technological society done to us?

In Warm Bodies, these questions are made explicit, though in a light and sophisticated way. Here is no nihilist gore-fest by George Romero, but a young zombie who finds he’s not entirely dead inside– that he has a soul, a longing, a romantic heart. He doesn’t spend his days only seeking victims, but has a whole jetliner decorated in items he has collected. He plays music, he can still mumble a few words.

Spoilers Ensue

He and his zombuds go out and attack a group of human survivors, but he saves one girl by smearing zombie-guck on her. He smuggles her back to his hideaway, and she begins to realize he’s not your average zombie. Zombie-boy falls in love with her, and his heart beats again– once. As he begins to change, some of his zombuds go through a change too– they begin to speak, remember, love, dream, and seek to change other zombies into whatever rehumanizing creatures they are becoming.

It’s pretty funny, powerful, non-heavy handed stuff. I’ll leave the rest to you.. but it’s a hopeful, amazing movie about learning how to live again.

There He Goes Again

Can we come back to life, from the distracted, alienated, denatured, enslaved, fearful kind of semi-undead existence we have created in modern society, cut of from God, from mother earth, from our natural freedoms and joys; then with the doom of death awaiting all, is there more to hope in beyond death; is there hope beyond our inward deadness?

As a believer in The Great Story of God’s rescue of us from sin, hell and death by the dying rising and glorification of Jesus Christ, this story echoes both as a true story, and as a pointer to the True Story.

God’s Promise Of An Answer

The visionary prophet Ezekiel, considering the spiritual state of God’s people, sees a valley of dry bones.. God asks him “Can these bones live?” Bit by bit, they are re-assembled, clothed in flesh, and given the breath of new life.

Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’ Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’”

Here is the promise of a new kind of life than simply physical or mental existence; it is a redeeming life, a promise of risen and everlasting life, which was initiated by the rising of God’s incarnate Son on the third day.

We Zombies, We

Thing is, when we banish faith, we a slow a choose death of the soul, the mind, of hope and love. It may take generations, or it may take years. Part of why and where we are now is the decision of our clevers and our chattering & braining classes to try– in the “Englightenment”– to banish Christian faith, and go on our own fuel without all that. Of course, such hopes went sour and resulted in destruction, blood, corpses, and the inevitable dictator or strong man to bring a horrible order out of chaos.

Our power over nature seemed another path of promise.. technology, medicine, all the rest.. and yet hear too is no abiding life, and too much of it ends up being someone’s power over someone else, or some group, or some part of the world. The 20th century was supposed to be the greatest century ever, remember, all our self-made amazing progress culminating in ever more heaven on earth. Labour-saving devices, the power of industry & chemistry and the state reaching out to solve age-old social problems….

A Dark New Era?

We know how that all worked out 1901-2000.. we don’t know how this new millennium will work out, either– except that the West is running on the fumes of our spiritual, material, and moral inheritance. We have sought self-sufficiency and power and pleasure, and said the word forbidden by God “Again!” as if all of existence were here to provide us with amusing experiences and pleasures and hobbies.

Can these dead bones live? Can we die to selfish enslavement to the world, and deceptions, and false promises of heaven on earth, and comforting lies about how long our civilization can drag on? Warm Bodies is a pointer to the Great Story, and for that, it’s a great story, and a 9.0 Binky-Stars. ~

Fight To The Death

~ ITEM: Brian Lilley on Death-Monger Morgentaler’s death

Gianna Jessen Abortion Survivor in Australia

~ ITEM: The Story Of ProWomanProLife

Gianna Jessen Abortion Survivor – Long Speech

~ I HATE ABSTRACTIONS like ‘fetus’.. Latin cheat-word in the modern context, meaning ‘unborn baby’. I know two people who might have been aborted– the She-Binks, and Binkling #2.

Both have likes & dislikes, features, names, all the specificity and mix of good and bad and otherwise which is anyone of us. Sadly, 3.5 unborn boys and girls in Canada have been hacked & burnt and discarded.. hidden, nameless, under the deceptive generalization of “Choice”, which net effect is the naked and brutal “Power of the greater over the lesser”. Might makes right. Adulthood trumps prenatal infancy, bitches.

a-fight-to-the-death-logo-splash

What if there were the means for prospective parents to talk to a future projection of their unborn son or daughter? Or, have to fight them, with whoever winning allowed to live?

Abortion does not prevent parenthood, it makes a man and woman the mother and father of a dead child. Real words mean things, and truth– however painful or awkward– is better than lies or concealing abstractions.

Such were we all.. tiny one, growing one, born and now we are as we are. Not in general, but us, actually, one-and-only forever, from God’s mind via the co-creating parents, into the world. We cast them away, like leaves on the wind.

They Missed Her

Gianna Jessen is an abortion-survivor. A real person who survived her attempted murder by saline abortion. The hundreds of millions we have had killed with generally legal abortion with the aid of doctors and nurses and hospitals and clinics– these dear ones cry out to be heard, remembered, allowed to speak and ahve the say we denied them as unique individuals.

Our society is a battle between life and death, as Jessen says, and literally between heaven and hell.

The Mirror Looks Back

Men? Sitting back, being thankful to ‘dodge the bullet’ of unexpected fatherhood? Man-fail. Parents? Forcing your daughters to abort instead of give up to adoption? Betrayal. Evil.

Oh and feminists? We’re onto your smelly little orthodoxies and hellish lies– about the imaginary gabillions of women who died as a result of illegal abortion.. lie (invented talking point). About Roe V. Wade– utter injustice and social engineering, with Supreme COurt Judges pontificating, and ‘legalizing’ slow mass-murder. About how it was only to be done for rapes, and incest, and dengerous pregnancies– lies upon lies, tiny corpse upon tiny corpse.

On such things, our society is being judged. ~

The Really Ancient Stuff

The Truth of Troy – BBC Documentary 1/5

The Hittites [Narrated by Jeremy Irons]

Lost Cities of the Ancients 3 The Dark Lords of Hattusha

~ THE MORE I devote my super-wisdoms to the topic, the more I’m sure that we’re just the latest civilization in a long line.

Millions of years of humanoids? But how old are modern-ish humans? Super volcano 75,000 years ago, possible major meteor-strike 12000 years ago? What would a 100,000 year-old city look like, especially if so many cities of the past (as now) are on the coasts, in river-valleys, and other places that can be changed, worn away, submerged, and all the rest.

Heck, the Trojans, the Hittites, and many other civilizations were lost until the invention of modern archaeology. Now, with submarine archaeology still in its infancy, the discoveries are rolling in.. the undersea is still an undiscovered country in many ways, and will surprise us in ways we can hardly imagine now.

I can’t wait. ~

A Note Of Foot

~ ITEM: Our Strange Lives– We’re connected, but not connecting

~ A WORD FROM Binks on the ‘Death Of Silence’ thing I wrote about last time– I had occasion to meet a university classmate & friend who still has to do with our alma mater. She says it’s completely different from when we went there “It’s so quiet.. there’s hardly anybody around.. they’re all texting or surfing.. really creepy.”

By contrast, back in the dino-80s, when we weren’t group-hunting velociraptors, we were walking together, chatting, gathering in small clots or mobs, going downtown, walking and chatting on our way to the Student Union Building, on our way to class, on our way to social and other events which were the social life & friendship-bonding glue of the university-thing.

Now, a generation and a bit later, silence. We’ve seen a devolution; an electronic mutation of human being, behaviour, and interaction. I much prefer being well-read, socialized, and educated, and THEN using the web as a further research/ learning/ fun-tool, not as a primary interface with reality, my closest companion, my Linus comfort-blanket. ~

~ ITEM: ProWoman ProLife » On the death of Henry Morgentaler

~ ITEM: Morgentaler has died, and so will we one day: what will our legacy be?; Morgentaler is gone, but we’re taking back Morgentaler’s Canada

~ ITEM: Heniek “Henry” Morgentaler (March 19, 1923 — May 29, 2013)

~ INFAMOUS CANUCKI abortionist Henry Morgentaler has died.. I hope he turned to God as he did so, even in the last seconds of awareness. He has a very long list of death, suffering, lies, and betrayal of his religion, and deliberately slain unborn boys and girls to answer for, unto a higher power that does not obey lawyers.

It is beyond ironic (a) that he lived a very long life, unlike his victims, (b) was a doctor who proudly betrayed his Hippocratic oath, (c) that he was a Holocaust-survivor, of a regime which promoted abortion, infanticide, murder of the handicapped, political opponents, Jews, and other ‘undesirables’, forcing doctors and hospitals to enforce totalitarianism, and to serve political ends. Then he brought death to countless ‘undesired’, fought to overthrow provincial laws to protect the unborn, and did more for creating the current status quo (no abortion law in Canada since ’88) than any other individual.

Paving The Road To Hell

He considered his motivations fairness and “choice” and helping women in distress from restrictive laws protecting the unborn; yet his means were evil, and helped make a Canada where “We Just Don’t Talk About That”, where we silence the public free speech of abortion-protesters, and don’t encourage adoption and support for unwed mothers which is the real answer to unwanted pregnancy. All taxpayers get to pay for abortion across the country– no choice. Most major hospitals must provide baby-killing. state-sanctioned murder has cost us, according to Andrew Layton,

“3.5 million boys and girls. That’s right, 10% of Canada’s present population legally killed since R v. Morgentaler.”

Doctors & Evil

As medical science advanced under the Greeks, the Oath Of Hippocrates was the warning and wisdom that although evil doctors or unscrupulous leaders might wish to misuse the tremendous power of medicine for evil ends like killing, abortion, and stealthy injury or murder, that this was not the true spirit of healing, nor anything that could be allowed as general medical practice without terrifying and deadly results.

Sadly, the abuse of doctors and hospitals and medical power under the left-wing Soviet & Nazi regimes, and in the medicalized murder or preborns throughout modern Western societies has shown us the creeping hand of medicalized evil, easing us on to new and previously forbidden evils. We don’t want to listen to the warning of Hippocrates, or of the 20th Century of blood, much of it innocent and shed by the hands of doctors and nurses.

None So Deaf…

Neither Morgentaler’s own religion of Judaism, or the general religion of his adopted nation– Christianity– has ever allowed or encouraged medical murder of the unborn. Nor do they support infanticide of the disabled, euthanasia, and other forms of alleged “mercy” so beloved of the secular world, and the culture of death. That didn’t matter to him, prophet of death as he was.

Insofar as it may be possible, Lord have mercy on his soul, and us, and for his leaving us a blood-spattered, divided, and evil-permitting nation, with millions of slain children burnt up in incinerators. O Canada. ~

~ ITEM: “The English Defense League (EDL), for example, is portrayed in the media as a bunch of racist football hooligans. So I was surprised to learn that the EDL has not only a Jewish division, but a gay division. (Harvey Fierstein could be their president!) They expressly support Israel against Muslim terror and burn Nazi flags at their rallies.”

~ WE ARE FREE in the West, sorta, but forget that true freedom is to freely desire and choose the good, the beautiful, and the true. So we end up choosing comfort, stuff, entertainment, complaining about our rulers & decreasing freedoms– wait, I just got a text. OMG!

Although it is popular to be anti-religious or skeptical or just to comfy to worry about all that God stuff, it still has to do with us. As hatemongering hatemonger blogger Mark Shea puts it, supernature abhors a vacuum. If we are empty-souled as peope and a nation and a civilization, we cannot dwell in that state, for other things want to creep in, re-emerge, and demand attention and blood and domination. Mark Shea:

“The watery secularism of the shuffling cowards who stood around taking pictures on their cell cams while a man was butchered before their eyes is a living illustration of the future of the West. Post-Christian “civilization” will not be a secular paradise. It will be the watery spirituality of the Eloi of neutered post-Christianity trusting money and tech to save them squaring off against the inflamed spirituality of radicalized Islam. In short, get rid of healthy Catholic spirituality and you don’t get nothing. You get two diseased spiritualities.”

Any true and lasting renewal of the West will not be primarily economic, material, political, or ideological– it must be spiritual, and our spiritual roots are Judeo-Christian. That moral and spiritual renewal must be individual to be corporate; we must remember, repent, restore and rebuild what our selfishness and materialism has reduced almost to ruins. If faith is the root, then civilization is the stalk and flower– cut flowers are pleasant to look at, but their time is short. That seems to be our situation, and all the idols we have chosen to serve and worship cannot save us.

Lord have mercy upon us. ~

Hey, UK– Just Wondering

~ ITEM: Tommy Robinson straightens out a hostile BBC

~ ITEM: Whatever you may think of Nick Griffin and the BNP, you have to give him this one

~ ITEM: Pamela Geller laughs out loud in response to media’s coverage of jihadi attack

~ THE UK ESTABLISHMENT is a jealous, greedy, vicious force protecting the “political middle ground” and castigating all other comers as evil lunatics of evil. The power, the trough, the societal control must remain in their hands, no matter how big the lie, or serious the challenge from reality.

This has an effect, and explains some stuff. First, it marginalizes any and all individual concern or group consensus which does not uphold the holy doctrines of diversity, immigration, Greenism, abortion, EUtopia, and so much more, as promoted by the modern UK nanny-state, and the kleptocrats in Brussels running the bankrupt bizarrely politicaly correct European Dictatorship. Second, this narrow definition of “True Britishness” means that anybody else saying things outside the narrative is not just wrong, but unBritish, and evil.

Horrible Evils!

UKiP? BNP? EDL? Never mind if they have points which any wise politician might adopt, and thereby (i) defuse societal and political pressures in British society, and (ii) steal their thunder by doing sensible things, people in fact have a right to say and do stuff, even if they are wrong, or out of the mainstream, or perhaps aware of the real problems in modern British society that don’t fit the mainstream permitted thoughts and words.

Thus, the BBC acts as the media-attack-dog; the cowardly British police forces (hobbled at all points by insane multiculturalism and deference to ‘Diversity) busts EDL heads, and yet stands by as Muslim gangs do the same to the EDL (or rush to protect ranting Islamists in their homes); the political classes– seemingly terrified of telling the truth, yet alone acting on it– keep repeating the same utter madness and platitudes, as the pot boils over.

Aid, Abet, Pander

The British Establishment has aided and abetted much evil in the past, and in the matter of Jihad, sharia-zones, child marriage, female genital mutilation, and all the other tentacles of Islam entangling modern Britian, that same establishment is aiding and abetting the enemies of freedom; of liberty under law; of equality for all British people, aside from religion or political position; of people happy to exploit the welfare system whilst creating chaos and terror in British society.

Peace at any price versus sharia uber alles?.. but remember, non-establishment poilitical and protest groups (and people on Twitter) are the real problem in the UK, 2013. Yeah, right. ~

Death To Silence?

~ ITEM: The hi-tech tattoo that could replace ALL your passwords

~ ITEM: Student ‘addiction’ to technology ‘similar to drug cravings‘; Online-media deprivation leads to withdrawal symptoms

~ ITEM: Going 24 Hours Without Media

~ THE DREAMERS and doers at the heart of the modern super-state, consumerism, and “security” seem obsessed with a terrible problem. Privacy, peace, and quiet.

I blame businesses, insisting that advertising be everywhere, even on clothing. Public transport, walls, sides of buildings, roadside signs, on the radio, on TV, those wonderful pop-up adds on the interwebs, every bloody where.

We Improved It.. Worse

The conspiracy against privacy, peace and quiet took a quantum leap with electronics like the xBox, iPod, televison, and internets. Honestly, I’m pretty sure that if they could make little video screens to advertise on our closed eyelids at night, they would.

The net effect? People who are lost without noise, screen, constant commercials, connectivity.

Simply Horribles!

Silence in this case is like torture; quiet reflection just not intense enough; turning stuff off pointless. All moments shall be subject to media, commercials, intense stimulation, slogans, factoids, but no thinking. Quietly thinking is inherently dangerous.. it causes mental and emotional stress, and possible ideas, pondering, and clarity about life.

On the other hand, what about the people who don’t enjoy the constant demands of the phone, the iPhone, the text-dings, the music in the earphones, the flicker and blatter of the TV, and the constant distraction we moderns seem to generate because we’re scared and bored of quietness?

The Wandering Binks

When Binks goes to the mall (not often, but still), I’m always puzzled by the (almost always) young alien persons who make constant clickety with their thumbs, looking down at the shiny thing, even if walking with friends (who may be simultaneously making clickety). I use the walking time to think, to look in shop-windows, to look around at people, greet aquaintances or neighbours, and let others bask in my glow.

I cannot imagine how this new mode of media-immersion and electronic addiction is a good thing; how it leads to an examined life worth living; how it gets below comfort and slogans into real pondering; how it leads to civilizational and individual renewal and freedom and the fulness of life.

It tends, rather, to enslavement, following the messages fed to you, and becoming a sheep.. witness all those folks who passively filmed a beheading near London, rather than actually doing anything about it.

Oh, and you kids get off my lawn! ~

~ THE MORE I PONDER THIS, the more ashamed for British manhood and Western Civilization and bystanderism I get, and the angrier I get (in a constructive sense).

Just saying– anybody here actually willing to defend someone else in an assault situation like this? I am, and the second I saw what was going on, I’d be running them down with a car, beating them senseless with any blunt object at hand, and getting any folks with size or will at all to do likewise. The “men” in that Wellington Street beheading left it up to two women to do the manly thing, and defend someone in need.

No doubt the Bobbies would be along eventually to charge me with Islamaphobia, hate-crimes, bigotry, dangerous use of a blunt object, possible EDL membership, and many weapons charges– but I’d be a man for all that, and not a sheep, filming the end of civilization on my shiny thing and waiting for Somebody to Do Something. Guns? Knives? Barehand? Branch? Boots? Rocks? Pointy sticks?

Bystanderism ‘R’ Us

The irony, of course, that a cowardly observational don’t get involved life is a life barely worth living– and that’s the point which the jihadis are making to us, using us as the very object-lessons of our incoming civilizational doom. That’s why they wanted lots of witnesses and iPhone video.

What are you willing to live for? What are you willing to die for? If you have no clear answers other than comfort, pleasure, and more of the same, then you’re the rot.

Point The Finger

There’s lots of blame to go around, but the greatest portion belongs to the nanny-state, which promises protection for a self-disarming populace. Take their word for it: you’re safe! Call 911, 999, or whatever– 20 minutes, 1/2 hour, an hour– if you’re lucky enough not to live in one of those EU areas where the police are afraid to go, or one of those U.S. jurisdictions where the impending civic bankruptcy means police only 18 hours a day, good luck with the rest of the clock.

British Authorities seem even afraid– in the case of the massive ban on all weapons in England except cop-guns– to allow people to defend themselves, others, or innocent people of any sort against massacre, burglary, and attack. This is a very basic human instinct, predating law, nation, or even tribe. That is, the nanny-state is dehumanizing, inhumanizing, blood-allowing insanity. Liberty under law (the old English principle) has become slavery and weakness under law, with the assigned police more worried about offending someone than going to a crime scene with awkward politically incorrect circumstances.

Weak As Water.. By Design

Men who are a least theoretically by nature the war-gang or lone warrior to defend stuff have been de-natured for decades. It starts with “hands-off” playgrounds, with constant surveilling; anti-bullying programs that cow most, and create more clever bullies; little gun or arms training; and before long, you’re politely leaving the girls in the classroom to be shot by a militant half-Muslim, or watching the man with red gloves from the safety of your bus, making vids of a dead soldier with a missing head. ~

Fun With Karl Marx

~ ITEM: Amazon– Karl Marx: A Nineteenth-Century Life, by Jonathan Sperber

~ ITEM: Review– Karl Marx: A Nineteenth-Century Life, by Jonathan Sperber

~ ITEM: Waiting For The Bubble To Burst

~ EVERY ONCE in a while, the possibilities of a new book get me pre-enjoyed, before I’ve even seen it– except, with Kindle For PC, I downloaded 2 chapters, and It’s That Good.

It’s Marx without all the Marxist BS, as a man of his times, rather a back-ward looking guy who bathed rarely and was from a wealthy family, and sponged much of his living-expenses from his friend Engels– whose family were wealthy business-owners.

Fair & Balanced

It’s also Marx without the demonization, for though so much of the horror and death of the 20th century can be laid at his feet, he would not have recognized the USSR as what he had in mind. He’d looked at 19th century England under the strains of the new Industrial Revolution, an d hoped for a worker’s revolution– perhaps on the lines of the first year of the French Revolution– so that the worst edges of worker suffering might be eased, and the workers benefit from the industries they worked. Interesting ideas, but the Industrial revolution– we’re talking the 1830s and onwards– worked itself out by rising wages & standards of living, one-man-one-wage laws, and the beginnings of the nanny-state solution to social problems.

Why, you say? Because as a reader and thinker, truth should be sought. Too many modern iPod-carrying latte-sipping soft-Marxist progressives are mere slogan-machines, who can’t really articulate the evils they oppose, or why; nor what they entirely believe, or why. Thus, someone like Jonathan Sperber ‘gets’ Marx; someone like Roger Kimball can understand both sides of the Marxist argument, thus of our times and problems; again, a former Soviet propagandist like Oleg Atbashian of The People’s Cube website knows the reality and the theory in his bones, having lived it.

No Cake For You!

In 5 years, some people will observe the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx’s birth. Yes, you read that correctly– his birth is technically closer to AD 1618 than to AD 2013, and as a man of the past, his ideas may have new relevance, but are also dated and found more than wanting in various forms, and bearing death. Still, unlike the competing socialist system of the Nazis, we can’t wipe out Communism or the evils thereof by persecuting and killing people and burning books and forbidding words and thoughts.

We No Learn Good Old Stuff

One might have hoped that the 20th century might have taught the West those lessons once and for all, except that too much of the Western academic world still holds a candle for Karl, teaches sloppy forms of Marxism, recommends university speech-codes, and refuses to allow serious questions or critiques from young minds seeking the truth of things.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to be stupid. And those universities that teach lies at over-inflated prices will watch over the next generation as their buildings are sold off and their massive foundations drain away (or are redistributed by President-For-Life Obama). ~

~ ITEM: Michigan Now Considering Anti-Sharia Bill – CAIR Files Suit in Oklahoma

~ EVEN THE most secularized Westerner thinks they know that Jesus taught “Judge Not”. It’s the summary of the Gospel for feel-good Kumbayah types, who know in their hearts that down deep, Jesus was as undiscriminating, non-judgmental, and embracing of errors and evils in the name of kindness and diversity as they are.

It’s also why secular folks with Christian backgrounds are so puzzled by over-confident “It’s All Your Fault” Muslims, whose entire mindset and culture is based on pointing the finger, fixing blame, and going wild about it. It’s not Christian.

Thing is, Jesus never meant “never judge, be nice: this is the Law and the prophets”. What he actually taught was something particularly relevant to our civilizational head-on crash with militant Pan-Arab Islamism of the Muslim Brotherhood type, that ever-rising tide of violence and blame and snickering at our weakness in Europe and the United States, especially.

What He Said

“Judge not, lest you yourself be judged… as you judge, so will you be judged”.. those are things Jesus actually said, along with the micro-Parable about having a log in your own eye while busily pointing out the splinter in your brother’s eye (St. Matthew, 7:4-5):

Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the mote out of your eye; and, behold, a beam is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then shall you see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother’s eye.

What-now? Then you shall see clearly to help your brother? Sounds kinda judgmental.. except, he’s saying “Don’t avoid your own sins and blindspots by using your brother’s lesser sins to play hypocritical moral superior”.. stop pointing fingers, until your own life and will are first reconciled to God, and you can THEN humbly help your sinning brother, in a spirit of gentleness, both of you having one ultimate judge: Jesus Christ The Lord. Got that? Thus, the ‘Never Judge’ relativistic hippies are wrong; terribly, terribly wrong.

Not So Much, Akshully

This is the opposite side of the world, when it comes to Islam. There, boys are spoiled rotten to adulthood– they are more better that girls, kuffar, and all the rest. Further, all problems are Somebody Else’s Fault– just like that fine sense of teen outrage and righteousness we all had for a few years, about how terrible the world was, and how terrible our parents were, and how if only the world did what we told them, all would be well, etc., whine, whinge, blame, and so on.

If your starting point (say) in dealing with the clash of civilizations is that yours serves Allah, and everybody else is in some state of pure hell-bound evil, then how can you listen to them seriously? That’s how the inspirers and now defenders of the Woolwich head-chopping cheerfully blame the West for everything, and how that all Westerners are guilty parties in the war of Islam against the West. Muhammed told them so, and if we talk about law, liberty, free speech, human rights– why, none of that shows up in the Koran, the Hadith (writings about Muhammed), or in sharia law– that’s all Satan-talk.

Sneaking, bald-faced lying, stealing– well, in Holy War, sometimes ya gotta play a little dirty. No worries, Allah says it’s OK, and the infidels need to be converted, enslaved to sharia, and otherwise outmaneuvered, so do what you must.

We Rock, You Suck!

For such an insecure blame-loving externalizing culture (much like the politically correct finger-pointers), part of the solution to the problem (whatever it is) is making sure that you are never at fault, but that your got-to blame target is constantly made aware of how much everything is their fault. The Arab victim-culture inculcates these sort of ideas: “Who did this to me? Who’s to blame? How should I retaliate?”

The West (starting with the Greeks) presumes individual (and corporate) freedom, responsibility, confession and self-criticism. “What did I do wrong? How can I fix it? How should I change to do better next time?” The entire Old Testament is a reflection on God & his wandering people, falling in and out of love with God, and bearing the consequences in their individual and corporate history as God’s Chosen people.

Oddly enough, our rampant hyper-individualism has led us into similar self-centered blame-y attitudes, though more of the “What’s In It For Me?.. More Free Stuff.. Whose Fault Is This?.. Kids Cramp My Lifestyle” sort of path.

So What, Babbler?

Until we can truly get into the heads of those who will the West to utterly submit to Allah, sharia, and rule by Islam, we will continue to operate ad seemingly bizarre cross-purposes. Even more– as we see in London and Sweden, the authorities will not be able to deal with the actual terrorists, rioters, or anti-Western Muslims, but will take it out on protesters and the law-abiding public for daring to be angry or concerned or outspoken.

As Nancy Kobrin puts it in a must-read review of a must-read book:

During my years as a social worker, and later as a psychologist for antisocial individuals, I have realized that the only, reasonable way forward is to follow this three step procedure:

1) Provide guidance and help. If this does not work, then,
2) Establish Boundaries and limitations. If this does not work, then set
3) Consequences.

Of these three, we seem mostly good at denying there’s a problem, blaming ourselves, apologizing for evil and violence, and setting few consequences for the kind of actions and words coming out of divided Muslim communities in the West, whether it’s immigrants themselves, or the seemingly more radicalized 3rd generation jihadis (like the London Tube Bombers, or the Woolwich Beheader).

Know Your Enemy is a basic tenet of warfare, from Sun-Tzu to Bernard Montgomery and onwards.. if not, then you are fighting for you’re not sure against who knows exactly, using I hope this works tactics. That is, floundering in the dark, hoping something goes well out of it all, because it’s all our fault anyhow. ~

Oh, Shut Up, Nerd

~ ITEM: TheOneRing.net

~ ITEM: Welcome to Tolkien Gateway

~ REWATCHING THE Peter Jackson Hobbit movie, and find that– it’s a bad thing– I’m re-writing the script. That usually only happens with George Lucas movies, but I think Jackson has become a self-important rich director with too many notions.

– In the scene where the narrator talks about Thrain’s undue love of gold, it would have been interesting to recall that he had the last ring of power given to the Dwarves. Surely Sauron used it to shove Thrain’s attention from the world, to his riches?

– The words of Gandalf & Bilbo as they discussed Bilbo’s part in the expedition should have been left in. A mere few seconds, to show that Bilbo was at war with himself, but had some self-respect, too.

– I could have used 2 more minutes of the dwarves quietly singing, and fewer butt-jokes– this would have been the perfect place to show the attack by Smaug on The Lonely Mountain, but Jackson is ever spoiling his stories by showing all ahead of time (witness Frodo seeing The Eye in Bree when the ring slips onto his finger). Jackson likes unwrapping all the presents days before Christmas, as it were, though there is rich joy in waiting, in wondering, in dreaming and restraining yourself from plundering the future story to pump up the present story.

– Azog the Pale Orc? He died before the events in the Hobbit. It should have been his son Bolg (the bearded orc) hunting them (if such need be), and preferably not as the prime antagonist in this movie, but as a lurking presence, revealed in Hobbit 2.0.

– Radaghast The Brown (aka cross-eyed bird-crap face)? A little more dignity, less poop & stoner jokes, please. The whole scene in Dol Goldur was ridiculous, and needed severe rewriting. Peter Jackson being clever. The whole point of Dol Guldur & “The Necromancer” was that nobody knew for sure it was Sauron redidivus, rebuilding his evil powers & orc armies, and seeking to get the Nine Riders back, and all. The Witch King would not have revealed himself so early, nor Sauron, who was hiding, being to weak to reveal himself yet.

– The Trolls? Stick to the text, with editing. And 30 more seconds in the troll-hoard, seeing gold and jewels and various olden and elven treasures would have been interesting. And the book indicates lots buried for later, not one trunk. Also, trolls bleed, don’t they? Why did the dwarven weapons have so little visible effect on the creatures? A PG-rating? The troll-actors did well, except the whiny one was too shrill & constant on that one note.

– Jackson botched the fighting mountain-giants. They were playing dodgeball, not murderball. The “drama” was overdone.

– Almost the entire Goblintown sequence, including the ridiculous scrotally-chinned Goblin-King, should be re-shot. It was Indiana Bilbo and The Temple of Doom, done poorly and at breakneck physics-defying speed. These are dwarves and a wizard and a hobbit, not small-sized superheroes or acrobats. Too much bad CGI, not enough creepy tunnels and scary darkness and goblins grabbing at legs. And we lost the “Yo ho, my lads” song. Unforgivable.

The rest, I literally ignored as it went by, sad to say. Still not as bad as Game of Thrones on page or screen, but that’s hardly a shining recommendation. ~

We Set This Scene

~ ITEM: Birth control pill inventor laments demographic ‘catastrophe’

~ ITEM: “the institutional state is now bankrupt. It is bust. Living on borrowed money, unable to sustain itself with shrunken birth rates. As a result, whole populations are finding the “safety nets” on which they counted on shot through”

~ THE MANY TENS of millions of babies aborted and Pill-prevented since the 1960s– and delayed marriage and serial monogamy– is part of the reason why Western countries resorted to massive immigration beginning in the 1970s to try and kee ppopulations above replacement-level. With that, we have imported all the world’s issues, wars, age-old feuds, and Jihad– along with many talented and peacable people.

The inward death of the desire to have families– that is, babies– has been well-considered by Mark Steyn in his recent books. The birth-dearth is the sign of inward civilization and an personal death and decadence: we, being so wonderful, will enjoy the world for ourselves as if it was all built and handed on for us, and us only.

Death-wishes can come true.. and that’s part of what’s happening to the West right now. It will not be neat, pleasant, or somewhere else we don’t have to care about. ~

“Literature instructs us by revealing, in new and striking ways, truths about our world and ourselves. One of the most famous treatises on poetry is Sir Philip Sidney’s Apology for Poetry, written in response to Puritan attacks claiming that all poetry was essentially immoral. Sidney engages the relation between aesthetics and ethics, between the beautiful and the good. Following Aristotle, he argues that poetry reveals universals and is therefore deeply philosophical, deeply true. But he goes farther, asserting that poetry is a better ethical teacher than philosophy, for poetry touches our emotions and moves us to moral action, while philosophy can teach us what is right but not move our hearts to act on that knowledge.”
