~ I JUST GOTTA SAY— Big Brother is a bloody big bother.
The pseudonym ‘Binky The WebElf‘ has existed since about 1996, and is the name I’m known by in Anglican, Catholic, Twitter, FaceBook, and blogging circles. It originally came from silly names I liked to use in video games, and was ‘Binky The Pirate’ for a while in the original Sid Meier ‘Pirates!’.
I knew (and was later proven right) that pseudonymity in the vicious church wars would protect my wife & kids from my getting fired or sent to The Anglican Parish Of Outer Sable Island, 3rd sandbank from the right. Or, some Canadian Jihadi might drop by for a little off the top, because of the many and various things I’ve said about Islam.
Huh? Who-Now?
Binky is my web-name. If I went by the boring non-elf name, people would not recognize it, and why should they?
That’s part of the point. The issues I bring up are the thing I’d like you to ponder; the fine bloggers and authors and commentators who apply real wisdom to our current dangers and opportunities. Me? I’m prideful and self-important enough, and don’t need my face or name plastered on everything for whatever alleged worth that might have. Look at the STUFF, not at the elf.
Enter The ZuckerBorg
Apparently, someone got mad at me recently, and twice over the past month or so reported my name as a “fake name” to FaceBook. DING! Word from FaceBorg: “Please give us your actual name, and cough up a passport, driver’s license, or other real ID to prove it. You know, because celebrities.”
This ‘feature’ has been popping up since 2012-ish, but has gone viral in 2015, because FaceBook– sometime friend and ally of fascists and radicals and terrorists and silencers and big corporate government– is enforcing their arbitary rules. Because, you know, online corporations don’t have enough information about all of us. Coming next: FaceBook digital colonoscopy & DNA+blood samples?
Not Just A Shruggable
In one sense, no big deal– though demands that members of the public report various forms of personal and private ID to a faceless corporation is very scary. But what about other people, to whom pseudonymous communication via Facebook is a matter of life & death? Someone being stalked or death-threatened? A human rights worker or dissident in a dangerous country? A Christian pastor in a Muslim land? Someone who doesn’t want their identity stolen, with all the joy & fun of unravelling that rat’s nest? You can fill in the blanks.
However, I’m also an ill guy living at home, alone much of the time, and FaceBook– despite all the privacy and other issues– is a major part of my chance to reach out, hear back, counsel, preach, build a wide variety of friendships around the world, communicate on matters I consider important or topical or timely. Minus FaceBook, I will be even more lonely, alone, and prone to the Black Dog, and that really sucks. Thanks, Zuckerberg, you heinous power-mad twerp.
So, until FaceBook follows Google’s eminently sensible example of not minding our personal business even more, I guess The Binks is officially off The FaceBook for now*. Feel free to comment below.
Sad elf. ~

* If this is all the result of some malicious FB snitching (pretty sure it is, but the tattle-tales have their identity protected, so mind your ding-danged business), I forgive you, but you really pissed me and my friends off. God knows your name, and he will not forget.
~ BUSINESS PEOPLE & celebrities run partly on ‘buzz’ and reputation. So how do you give the equivalent of a kick in the stones to someone for straying off the plantation of Glorious Leader, USA? You get them bushwacked by GQ, as was done to Duck Dynasty (as part of a cover-up for the Much Worse Than Before 2014 NDAA Warrantless Arrest thingy of Obama); or, you get pro-Democrat political whores like Jon Stewart & his stable of lackeys to do it for you.
Hence the recent hit on kick-ass tough & smart Peter Schiff.. who’s just not taking it.
Peter: this was a political hit-piece to pay you back, slap you down, and enrage you– maybe you’ll have a stroke, they hope. You’ve been an unbendingly clear and insistent commentator giving chapter & verse about how the current economic paradigm is just about finished. BAD PETER!! Just like the GQ hit-piece against Duck Dynasty as a smokescreen over the horrid new 2014 NDAA passed while the fake furore raged in the media.
This watcher says: keep on keeping on. Be of good cheer. Truth must be told, and reality must be confronted, and honest & informed opinion must be allowed free expression. I’ve enjoyed & been educated by your work on YouTube to really begin to understand economic realities versus media-gov chatter. This president & his regime are a fail– but all others must be sacrificed to keep the cover-up going.
Puny Elf? Who Cares!
OK, Schiff’s famous and rich and smart, and perhaps won’t read what I wrote on his FaceBook wall. However, people like him are not so plentiful that we can just sit back and watch Tyranny-2014 America-style trash people via the politics of personal destruction as if they were disposable rubbish. Drop a note to Schiff, or Mark Steyn, or Congressman Trey Gowdy, thanking them– not for being perfect, or right, or sinless, but for trying to take a stand on behalf of all of us, i.e. being men, doing men’s work.
~ WATCHING THE AWESOME citizens of Concord, Mass. stand up to the proposed militarization of the police is worth watching at length.
I’m going to violate the rules of online argument now: Hitler! Old Adolf knew what he wanted, he told everybody, then he tried to do exactly that. When he first got legitimate political power, he asked for a very little are of concern, which merely allowed him to control the German police. Mostly harmless. All of this BEFORE 1933, and his rise to supreme power as chancellor.
No, this was not a backwater in his socialist master-plan, it was the start of a close-control of the populace, dissidents, making little lists, and getting people used to the idea of a militarized police-force. The Gestapo was created, and the police-forces were quickly filled with Nazis– the police became agents of one political machine, and the uncooperative were retired, fired, or shipped off to special camps, you know, “for their own safety”. Very considerate, that.
Comes The Destructor
Like Adolf, Barack Obama has made it clear what he wants– direct one-party rule, and his personal power superseding all law, Constitution, the Senate-Congress-Courts system of checks and balances, and anything else which he decrees. He was perfectly happy to expand the ‘legal’ powers of his police-state with the power to arrest, detain, and even kill Americans without arrest, warrant, or reasonable suspicion. Under Holder & Napolitano, he has continued the militarization of airports, borders, state and local police forces across America– many now essentially operating with the same equipment and armored vehicles of the U.S. military, except in police blues.
Having been in leadership myself, I know it’s always important not only to look honest and sensible, but to be honest and sensible, and not to pooh-pooh even the potential appearance of a conflict of interest, or the potential of abuse of power and responsibility of office. Sadly, Obama is all about appearances in a superficial way– content to go about his plan, dodging criticism here and theoretically rescinding a blinding obvious possible evil (say, drone-kills of American potential Domestic Terrorists™ like the Tea-Party, libertarians, Occupy, pro-lifers, constitutionalists, religious people, preppers, gun-owners, etc. … you know, normal non-Leftist Americans).
Smells Li-i-ike..
It’s all bullshit, this current push to “homeland security”. Runny, smelly, with flies buzzing around it. Yes, I made a swear.
Why? Because there are already police & emergency responders; beyond that, the State Police, then the FBI, the National Guard; beyond that, the U.S. Armed forces on sea, land, air. That is, if all you are actually concerned about is real threats to actual Americans. We’d all be much “safer” in a nuke-proof bunker with prison-bars.. but it’s not free, or necessary, or good.
You don’t have to sport a tinfoil hat or subscribe to every conspiracy theory to wonder what is going on in Obama’s captive bizarroland, formerly known as the United States of America. Not only that, we have more than enough warnings from history about setting up all the required mechanisms of a police state, making the rise of such a state not only possible, but much more likely. No doubt some alleged “Emergency” will be the pretext for the clampdown, if it comes (and really, it doesn’t matter which Washington DC politician might take the step, the Republicrats are all a blend of grey political sludge). Ideological opponents of the present Regime (a.k.a Domestic Terrorists™) have been under digital, financial, and personal threat for some time– why not move to drones, cops, curfew, and armored force?
Warrants? Habeas corpus? Due process? Timely trials? Bwahahahaha! Luxury!
Blatant Fraud Is Fun!
The best moment [ around 1:25:00 forward ] is when the guy who occasionally marched with Occupy, Massachusetts, points out that the group is pretty much defunct, therefore buying fancy armoured cars to prepare to oppose said Domestic Terrorists™ including Occupy was nonsensical. The scariest & Orwellian moment came when the Town Manager leading the meeting said that he’d talked to some other bureaucrat, and they’d agreed to remove the hair-raising short list of “potential domestic enemies”, so could they just move ahead and buy the armored car anyway?
This is disingenuous. Clearly it’s being sold by Homeland Security on those lines; deleting the scary language doesn’t address the scary fact & idea behind the militarization of local police all across the united States. The Department of Homeland Security apparently considers itself above the law, and above the constitution, and unaccountable to the people.. especially those is chooses to designate Domestic Terrorists™.
Sheeps & Wolves
Now, as a male, I like stuff, and man-gear, things that go bang, armor, and cool vehicles, and used to love playing army. But this is big-boy time, and the public allowing their police to become potential prison-guards, or putting up with needless SWAT-style raids, check-point, scary drills, and an already renegade government to buy up enough weapons and guns– for domestic use– for what, exactly.. to re-fight D-Day and beyond 5 times over?
It’s doesn’t pass the smell-test, the republic/ democracy test, and the don’t hand a radical socialist a loaded gun test.
America, beware. So saith Binksy — ITYS, with tears in my eyes. ~
“In everything you do, act without grumbling or arguing;
prove yourselves innocent and straightforward,
children of God beyond reproach
in the midst of a twisted and depraved generation –
among whom you shine like the stars in the sky.”
* Brenda sent Teh Binksmeister a copy of the book. Bribes always welcome, no positive review or treatment will necessarily ensue. It is a sad, compelling, fact-full tome, however. Makes me sad.
~ A FUNDAMENTAL DIVIDE in modernity is between those who understand truth and reality to be givens, and those who think of “creating reality” or “making truth”. The latter used to be called living in denial, or lying, but taken to a high enough level, it gainst some respectability, apparently.
One of the reasons I’m so glad that the internet is still relativly free, is the tendency of big-gov big-schemers to want to impose their various projects on the populace without criticism, fact-checking, or the rest of the story. The olden-time media still operate somewhat as the voice of the socialist establishment of the West– and yet…
Binks thinks the internets have actually encouraged some old-media types to report verboten, politically incorrect, or dangerous news– that, and the stalwart nature of good British journalists who’ve never stopped commenting on American politics, delusions, and the Obama Crime Syndicate.
Tick.. tick..tick
It remains to be seen how long freedom, blogging, and alternative media will be allowed on the internet. As I’ve said before, I consider it a Providential mercy of God that this military tool become internets happened now, just at the time that the technological and political dangers of our Western civilizations threaten our freedoms, rights, laws, and society. We must keep using it, not least because Truth Is True, God is Truth, and eharts can still be changed and converted behind the lines.
Back in the Binks Anglican Blogging Days, I was always surprised (when I checked such things) how many government & military visits I had from the U.S. and Canada– some of it idle, no doubt, but some of it probably higher-ups interested in the variety of news I carried, and keeping up-to-date and stuff.
Since the giant NSA/ FBI/ CIA/ Secret Groups are vacuuming everything up, including this blog, why not say the truth, pass on the rest of the story, and remember that we– all of us– are fighting a battle in life, and the hearts of many can be swayed by the touch of truth, kindly put.
Scaaaary, Kids
After all, as that rebel scum Mark Steyn has said (see my blog-topper) “They’ll Have To Kill Us All!” A day or two ago I watched an allegedly scary movie about people trapepd in a haunted place. I got the idea that apparitions or ghostyl assaults would be unpleasant, but (a) Where was God in the flick? and (b) So they kill you. Very sad, but if you love God, it’s not the end, right? It kinda ruined the “ooga-booga!” factor, but it wasn’t a good movie anyway.
The Soviets thought the thousands of dead in the Gulags were silenced forever– then they made the mistake of the midnight knock on the door of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who made it his calling and crusade to speak for the murdered and lost prisoners, that the world, and history, might account for the truth behind the beguiling Soviet lie.
We Wee Free Bloggers
We free-bloggers in the West– like the Christians of the West– have not yet begun to really suffer for freedom, or the faith. If such times come, we will have work to do then, as well. And if the whole glorious foolish disgusting world goes down into some fascist/ Caliphate dark age, there will be things to be done there, too.
Look for hope, work for truth, do good here and everywhere as you have opportunity, and no matter what comes next, the power of the individual is still the foundation for any hope for our societies, and our civilization. ~
~ THE MORE YOU LOOK at communism & the sexual revolution, the more you notice women got totally suckered. They take the dangerous Pill; they abort (at least 1/2 of the kids being female); they enjoy the resulting depression and breast cancer and difficult pregnancies; they are more likely to catch STDS; their attempts to be man-like in the business world cost them more in stress, heart-attacks, and grief of separation from children; and the progressive men get to walk away scot-free, having milked all the cows they wish, while never paying for much of it.
Kathy Shaidle has recently written “The Unsurprising Sexism of Male Progressives”, reminding us of the forbidden fact that men can be pigs, no matter their politically correct bona fides. And the stone-throwing atheist crowd also turns out to live in moral glass houses, too.
As former college atheist Professor J. Budziszewski has written, there’s a lot to be gained by trying to erase God from the universe.. including sin, consequences, morality, guilt, and restraint on human evil. That’s lots of motivation.
People Is People
It’s a reminder that despite the propaganda, people are people– and that alleged “liberators” have a variety of motives– some of them black, predictable and deniable under the revolution they are using to excuse themselves. Sin is sin, and denying that basic human reality– that we trespass against God and neighbour, that we fall short for bad reasons, and try to cover it up, forget, or justify it as not being wrong.
The other dirty fact about a lot of radicals– there’s more than a little severe emotional, mental, and personal illness, masquerading as radicalism. Since the Usual Causes allow you to obsess about the sins and failings and blindspots of everybody except yourself and your like-minded mob, there’s a motivation there to go radical, instead of going to the mirror, minding your own business, and removing the timber from your own eye before ranting about the splinter in someone else’s eye.
~ IT IS THE GREAT WARNING and tragedy of the late Middle Ages and beginning of the modern that it started with a very modern Police State. I’m blaming the Tudors.
England may be the mother of Parliaments, but she is also the mother of state surveillance, death-camps, government expropriation, show-trials and kangaroo courts, citizens spying on one another, thought-police, the crushing of faith and conscience by torture, enforcing government-created unreality.. all of it. How very 20th century and– increasingly– the 21st century.
Recently we’ve seen German film-makers exploring their own past with very powerful and interesting films about the Nazis– The Black Book, Downfall, Priestblock, The White Rose just to name a few. It is an act of remembrance not to glorify the past, but to ponder, remember, reject, to learn from history.
The Big Lie
The extended miseries and devastation of the English Reformation– an act of erasure, of historical-scale violence, of destruction of churches and art and monasteries and rural life extending over a century, leading to civil war and countless deaths– is still somewhat in a for of verboten, and deliberate forgetting. Anglican historiography from the 16th century created a whole “England as God’s Instrument” which continues to this day– the Winds That Defeated The Armada and all that.
Ruined monasteries may be very evocative and romantic and photogenic, but let’s remember that they were actually centeres of learning, prayer, local industry, economic power outside government and the Big City; wealth not in the hands of the King or Queen. Protestant polemic would have every community of monks and nuns to be brothel-like mobs of slackers, but that’s propaganda, not reality. For every notorious sinner, there were ten ordinary and a few truly amazing people– scholars, preachers, professors, and saints. Many of them received the special attention of the King’s torturers and executioners– as we have seen in the 20th and 21st century, dictators most dislike being shown up for what they are by men and women with the truth and courage on their side.
Behind the propaganda is the big grab by easy-spending Henry– a Billion or so that he quickly frittered away, having impoverished the nation, murdered countless monks and nuns and clergy, and wounded the English Church with an injury which endures to this day. Having decalred most of his people to be traitors, he forced them to become criminals, liars, violaters of conscience, informers, and created a divided English soul.. seen in every city, village, town, and parish church.
Bloody Instruments
Thus, the bloody gallows at Tyburn in London are in fact hallowed by the blood of saints and martyrs to the modern tyrant-state. A Benedictine Convent is there now, for the truth cannot be destroyed– only forgotten. The heroes of the Reformation like Cranmer and others come to be seen in a true light– as willing tools of tyrant-power, aiders and abettors, persecutors, willing to overturn Church and Law and human dignity to destroy England as she had been, according to the bloody will of the Tudor tyrants.
Around the world at this hour, Christians are suffering persecution, torment, destruction of churches, and death for their faith. Just because they are not Westerners should not confuse or distract us; just because the American President is funding many of the persecutors should not deflect us.
They Is Us
If you are a Christian, these are your Christian brothers and sisters– if you and they attain heaven, yo uwill dwell with them forever, with ties stronger than mere earthly flesh and blood; in their suffering, Christ the Lord himself is being persecuted; in their witness, we are being called to do what we can to help them and allow their voices to be heard now and as long as we can.
It will be to the eternal credit of Americans that they did so much and fought so hard against the Armenian Genocides. It will be to the eternal shame and regret of America that she has done so little against the current flood of Christian blood and tears in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. ~

~ I LISTEN TO & sometimes link to Constitutionalist Conspiracy guy Alex Jones, not because he’s always right, but because some of his concerns are valid, and he’s broken a lot of real news that the mainstream media pooh-poohed, or binned.. and later reported on.
My main objection to his way of looking at world news is.. there’s no mystery-spaces in his world. It all fits together in a big evil systemic puzzle, and God’s providence and the Devil’s malice and the fallibility of people & governments and the possibility of simpler explanations, human stupid, and Shite Just Happens.
Lotsa Evidence
On the other hand, big government (suckled by Big taxes) has a much larger scope for fiddling about and doing bad and fooling most of the people most of the time. It gets worse when you have U.S. Governments– especially since WW2– actually plotting, scheming, lying, and doing things to “defend” America– Ewen Cameron & MKUltra; The planned attack on the U.S.S. Liberty; The Patriot Act; the NSA data-mining everybody; the scamming of the last two U.S. elections, covered up by Democrat bureaucrats. And it gets even worse with Obama, since he’s a conspiracy-guy extraordinaire: Fast & Furious.. to influence gun-laws; Loot to Terrorists in Libya, Egypt & Syria (and related cover-ups); the total-surveillance state; the NDAA and “yeah, we can kill Americans if we want”; and on it goes.
Republics & democracies are messy, unstable, complicated, unpredictable, and don’t work well with those of authoritarian bent. You can’t just issue and executive order and get stuff done as you will, when you will. Our life in the West is a limited form of freedom, circumscribed thought & action; mandatory big-tax, and ever-growing government.
Even alleged “opponents” of big government like Canucki PM Stephen Harper has allowed big-gov fungus to grow 14% over the past decade. As I write, 10% of Canadians work for the government, and rule us indirectly though unelected, unaccountable, and generally Left-wing (since Big-Gov is best for bureaucrats). We are a heart-attack or giant political scandal away from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who will do for Canadia what Obama has done for America, and what Liberal Premiers have done for the provinces.
Finale, In Contusion
So– beware taking Alex Jones and his like-minded types who “Have It All Figured Out”; at the same time, while checking and considering his news & information as potentially verifiable and important.
When it comes to a police-state, I do think that Europe and North America have a lot of people in power who would be more than glad to lock up society into neat little chains. Lots of people will bend the knee, turn informant, work in the little grey offices, put up the spy-cams, move paper and digital files around, and knock on the door at 2am, and disappear the dissidents.
