The truth will out

Leave a Reply

As they say, the truth will out.

I’ll add that a truth supressed will make it out of its confines eventually, and when it comes out, the result is explosive, especially so if its a truth supression has been one that has an entire society or nation as stakeholders.

The predominantly Democrat-aligned US Legacy media has begun the recriminations for the major loss over the past 48 hours that has not only handed the Ovel Office back to Donald Trump who has been a target of at least four years of lawfare (some justified, some less so), but also the Senate and possibly also the House (commonly known as Congress). This is on top for a Conservative majority in the US Supreme Court (“SCOTUS”). In effect, if the GOP/US Conservatives can avoid falling into infights, they have the US lawmaking process sealed up and under their control for at the very least two years, but likely for the entire second term of Trump.

Now, where was I… the legacy media of the US press has begun pointing at Biden for sowing the seeds of defeat by failing to admit his own frailty and handing over the reins to a different candidate sooner. This is certainly true, but it’s a very incomplete truth, since it neglects to admit to their own culpability in participating in the lie. It wasn’t until the catastrophic debate performance in spring where the lie was impossible to cover up anymore that the talking heads, persons of influence in and around the Democratic party elite, and corporate donors panicked, since their orchestrated gaslighting campagn, which viciously smeared anyone suggesting that Biden was increasingly frail and unsuited for office, was a “far-right disinformation peddler” (etc etc ad nauseam).

After an intense week of crisis meetings and hand-wringing over the reality of Bidens senility, they finally started the process of replacing him, but in doing so at so late a stage they forsook the US democratic core institution of Party Primaries, ie. an internal party referendum as to deciding who the next presidaential candidate should be. Kamala was unsurprisingly picked as THE candidate, which alianated many core people and votes of the Democratic Party, for good reason. It was a soft “coup” that overrode the established democratic process of the USA thoughout two centuries. Nearly unprecedented, and it was again strongly indicative of the elite/inner party cabal rule that has infested the DNC for many years, this time come to a head.

Here we are, ~four months later, the results are in: Even though burning through *a billion dollars* on campaign funding (also a record in term of fundraiser efforts if I’m not mistaken), strongly pushing Harris as the female person-of-colour, multi-ethnic candidate which ticks all the boxes for the Democratic faithful, they handed themselves a devastating loss for the simple reason that she was an unworthy, blank-slate and verbally bumbling candidate which left most people scrating their heads in befuddlement how she could at all have made it to the next-highest slot in the world.

The Democratic party will realistically not be able to recover from for several years, even assuming that the DNC has a willingness to reform and performs a complete house cleaning that will root out the unchallenged elite backstage infuence into the party and its politicians, and revitalises a grassroots basis of the party and its stale culture of centrally dictated, “diversity” heavy adherence (dare I say this is the default profession faith of the US center-left?).

Does the DNC organisation and the constitutents have this willingness for party and internal cultural reform? Frankly, I doubt it. The culture of “blame the other bad guy” is simply too strong.

In any case, I congratulate The United States of America and all of its engaged citizens on continuing its working democratic culture of the nation of over 300 million people and maintaining a functioning democracy, even though the last several years has shown cracks and weaknesses, which must be kept in awareness and mended if the US is to last another fifty years, let alone the 250 years following the upcoming 250 years National Anniversary om the 4th of July 2026.

Americans, I wish for you the best. Go forth and do good for your fellow men and women. God bless.

Maintain your sanity

Dear everyone.

We live in crazy times. The world as a whole seems increasingly chaotic, the society close to us & around us even more so. There’s numerous people all around that have seemingly nothing better to do than spew their usually nuance-bereft opinions about the world out like it was unchallengable, god-given fact, and besides act like they’re insane (which, having read the dominant form and tone of the society-related discourse on Twitter for the past five years, is actually quite possible).

No, it’s no conincidence that I post this note on this specific date of days, but without going into details of the circumstances, my message to you that read this, is this:

One: As a sole individual and commoner of society, there’s an infinitesimally small influence you can possibly play on the political situation in the whole of your nation, by your actions or words. Don’t behave as if it’s the case that you can shift more than the tinyest of pebbles by what you say and do.

Two: In my decades-long experience with ground-level political life, there’s very few people of those you are surrounded by, that genuinely care about your political opinions outside of topic-specific circles. The majority of people don’t and would rather not hear them at length, and only tolerate them out of passing interest or politeness. Most people care about appearance and “vibes”; not fact or nuance, and certainly not your detailed opinion. You may not want to hear this out of pride, but it’s the truth for the absolute majority of people.

My point of this is that, again as a commoner, for both your own peace of mind and for the sake of others, you should treat the political hubbub that inevitably surrounds you on election year as little more than a different sort of football game; you may indeed have one specific team you’re cheering for, but it’s best if you don’t get into shouting matches or exchanging blows with the opposite team’s fans. It serves no good; it’s a massive waste of energy; in extreme cases, it may even cause some form of harm.

Maintain. Your. Sanity.

Political retirement age

Both Biden and Trump should be summarily dismissed from office on age infirmity grounds.

Retirement age ought to apply as much to politicians as to workingmen, moreso in fact; as soon as you turn 70 years of age, you should automatically be barred from office, except lesser advisory positions.

Political office today is an extremely demanding post, which you need to be a nearly supremely capable, energetic and mentally focused individual to hold in a way that respects the needs and interests of an electorate that puts its trust in you.

Adding to Hitchens’ deconstruction of Islam,

…now, that one thing is that Islam is incoherent, parochial, backwards, stupid, brutal and basically false, as much is clear from not only Hitchens’ words and wit, but from the sources of scholarship on the subject. More unsettling is that that the political tradition that has historically, or at least over the past 200 or so years been in opposition to these religions of old, have over the past fifty years increasingly made themselves useful idiots for degrading western intellectual discourse and progressivism as well as societal coherence and stability by watering down the toxic nature of a backwards nomadic religion as entirely permissible, nay outright _desirable_ in the cultural makeup of a modern society. Now, actual, true to traditionally leftists are somewhat seen as heretics in the contemporary left-leaning political sphere since it is comme-il-faut to pay lip service to the culturally enhancing effect of open borders to people who have neither contributed to an affluent society by their labor yet expect to reap the benefit of membership of it, nor has added to and is less likely to contribute in maintaining a secular and progressive society of openness, absence of religious dominance of the citizenry, or the equal legal rights or general dignity of women.

Odd is it also that the degraded ranks of leftists have kowtow’d to what can likewise be considered a bastardized version of the economic-liberal notion of “free movement of labor”, only that it is less labor asmuch as it is a free movement of dysculture.

Distasteful, annoying, unpopular, indecent, but free and unharassed

Outlawing shitty speech won’t make shitty speech or the mindset it envelops go away, only make it less visible. It will linger in shadowy places where the public can barely see it, where it does not receive the scrutiny and scorn it might deserve and where awareness of it has faded to the point where civil and safe countermeasures against its spread will be too little and too late to halt its spread once it does once again advance.

Likewise, the outlawing of free speech tends to erode what speech is reasonable and necessary, though usually unpopular.

Where the former threatens to annihilate a free civil society in a backwards way by inducing a reactionary series of clamoring of hostilities and brazenly spurious calls for “law and order”, the latter will slowly eviscerate the freedoms and open institutions of a liberal democracy as well as civic associations by way of a dysmoral induction of citizens into the policing each other as that of a razor blade that progressively shaves a notch too closely, eventually leaving the skin not seemly, but bloodied.

The first tends to cause harm on the body of the public in a tangible manner, ie. authoritarian and brutal; the second leading to a rise of a diffuse totalitarianism by way of control of the mind of the public consciousness.

Freedom is preserved by members of the general public who posess the courage to walk the tightrope over a chasm of two species faux decency; that tightrope spun from the yarn of a freedom of discourse and expression of a standard high yet not unreasonably so, in a braid together with a firmness of conviction that the means of freedom are the ones that must be used to exhaustion to guard and preserve them as a whole, even when the means of force by ways of government or vigilante thuggery seem alluring to ‘solve’ these problems of individuals voicing their hatred and abomintion, real or imagined.

Surely, the nasty people with the nasty ideas will go away when swiped away by a mightier force; a hand directed by those of us decent. And we will probably never need to use that forceful hand again, will we? Or do we even care?

May a free New Year be brought to you and your fellow citizens ask in return that you throw in your efforts to bring a free and thus hopefully good and safe New Year to them as well.
