Kenosha Letters
Here are original records (some reconstructed from their censored or cut-to-size published form) of my letters published from 1996 to2001 in the "Kenosha News" newspaper (in Kenosha, Wisconsin), plus scattered unpublished commentaries and essays to be recovered and completed when (and if) I find the time. Some have been (or will be) completed beyond the newspaper restrictions.

Date published: 961211 The art of demanding vs. the skill of producing --
Here are some scrambled comments on a disturbing article of a
few days ago favoring taxes and against “rich” people. The writer says that
taxes are the expression of our regard for our community. In reality, they
distance us from productive direct involvement.
The alienation of many tax
beneficiaries, in fact, is in direct proportion to the aid they receive.
Our
welfare spreads poverty because it teaches the poor the art of demanding rather
than the skill of producing.
It is the welfare poor and the unemployable who
move to high-tax states, with consequent development of endemic blight areas,
disastrous finances and industrial survival exodus.
As a manufacturer, I prefer
to move to a state where lower taxes allow me to invest more of my profits in
equipment, production and jobs.
Such results are far more and better than any
tax can produce.
At best, government “creates” more jobs for job’s sake, which
produces nothing and bleeds the nation.
Even the idle rich can be more
productive than that, because they only purchase what they can use, from people
with the necessary skill and productivity. The latter profit and create new
jobs.
The government can only lower those
skills to the standards they can impose by legislating equality downwards.
The
unions contribute by imposing promotion by seniority rather than by skill.
The
union member complaining about being held down for that reason is no longer
uncommon.
At a trade show, we were forced to hire a union member to merely watch us
erect our exhibit (he did not have the skill for it). He could only watch us
doing "his work".
“Sorry, -he said- this is
how we make our living”.
In physics, “entropy” says that the universe tends
toward chaos.
Leftist governments and unions are entropic.
Certainly, you have
heard of the Soviet Union and Cernobyl.
That’s is how the poor get poorer.
For
thousands of years, poverty induced people to work and learn skills, not to
“produce crime”.
So, the poor became rich, and the rich who didn’t measure up to
what brought them there became poor.
Social mobility, it was called.
Now, the
poor have more rights than duties; the “rich” almost only duties.
So, the rich
are forced to learn and use more skills, and the poor are “protected” from the
necessity of learning and using skills.
And the politically created economic gap
worsens, especially in the present high-tech cybernetic age.
USA was the land of
opportunity to success through free competition.
Wealth is the most impartial
form of success available. Much more than class privilege or legislated leftist
despotism.
Everyone is told he (or she, of course) has the right to become rich
in free competition.
But the government expands the meaning of “rich” to
virtually anyone who owns taxable (and mortgaged) property, to extract more
taxes, as well as expands the definition “poverty level” to justify the taxes
and create more “entitlement” voters.
As the “losers” (a term fomented by
rabble-rousing politicians) are always more numerous, they prevail in implying
an evil feeling in the political statement: “the rich guys won”.
Such a feeling
has always been there, even in the times in which the tabloids glorified the
“beautiful people”.
Capital gain tax? Many call it fraudulent extortion.
I
bought land in 1972 for $16,000/acre, built a manufacturing plant on it, and
created jobs.
Then, inflation came. The real estate taxes went up at the same
rate, and I paid those increasing taxes for 23 years, year after year.
Then, in
1994, I needed more land for my business (I had committed the sin of succeeding
in spite of the odds and taxes).
Prices for the same kind of land had reached around
$160,000-200,000 per acre, and none was available next door. So, I had to sell
and move.
The ensuing capital gain tax was nothing more than a tax on inflation
from government overspending.
What gain, if I needed over 10 times as much money
for the same land?
The added tax was a double taxation-extortion, after I had
already repeatedly paid additional every year.
Hardly any tax could be more abusive.
Controls? Another “blessing”. The government forces a business to display
notices in the most prominent places to warn employees against possible abuses
by the employer.
Why not also notices about employees’ duties?
Because the
legislators can get more votes from artificially alienated employees than from
the employers?
It is odd that the government is relentless against successful
business.
The employer who mistreats his employees is likely to fail, for he
gets the cooperation he deserves.
Well: once a bloodless rock, he can be used as
a tax-entitled “victim”.
And who pays?
Controls spawn like epidemics.
Think: a
government agency commits suicide when it resolves the problem it was created
for.
Its funding and jobs won’t be needed any longer, unless new trouble is
found or created.
Thus, new laws and rules are issued that turn more screws on life and business;
which justifies more “public service” jobs for more unneeded people, who cannot
help becoming hostile from transforming honorable citizens into law-created
criminals.
They say they do it to protect the public… I wish I had more room to
describe it here.
War of classes? Classes are a social fiction some politicians
need to homogenize people in socially engineered categories.
There are only
individuals, and they cannot be obliterated in classes.
Psychologists who declared
homosexuality “normal” did it in the same spirit as declaring diabetics normal
as such. They are, but they fight diabetes. Impatient activists appropriated and
politicized the issue.
Take premarital sex: we know that it is widely practiced, we hide or condemn the
“sin”, but not the perpetrators, unless they display it or claim special
privileges..
Lust gratification control with sin designation, and guilt feeling after
sinning, kept Western morality standing. The theory of self-esteem necessity
outlaws guilt, the self-control of the Christian ethics system.
Neutralize guilt feeling with unconditional self-esteem, and you cripple
traditional morality. Someone declares that normal marriage and gay cohabitation
are “different and equal”.
Then, cohabiting homosexuals should label their arrangement or contract any way
they want, rather than “marriage”.
When I wrote about it before, I titled my letter “To Closet or Not to Closet”,
because the focus was Machiavellian rather than moral: gays should avoid a
self-victimizing confrontation with those who resent the tampering with the most
venerable heterosexual institution.
The instinctive
heterosexual defensiveness against aggressive homosexual encroachment will never
change. Primordial defensiveness reigns, and heterosexuals are by far the
overwhelming majority.
The generalized image of homosexuality is like unmarried sex aggravated by the
same-gender intercourse. Male/female fornication is statistically much more
natural than homosexuality, but unmarried lovers would cause vehement opposition
if they considered themselves victims of, and entitled to, anything unobtainable
without marriage or conventional family.
It is not happening. Therefore we have no vigilantes horrified by fornication.
Some object that gays have taken over Hollywood. Only apparently.
Historically, gifted gays are relatively prominent in artistic and intellectual fields because oppression by conventional society often inspires artistic or other creative expression. It should have nothing to do with morality.
“Pursuit of happiness”?
But happiness and pleasure are ultimately opposites.
Today’s “Gay Pride Parades”, like the ancient “Bacchanalia”, end in sadness with
masked desperation.
Happiness necessitates lasting goals available to both heteros and homos on a
loftier-than-crotch level, where pleasure is an interlude, not a goal.
Tchaikowsky was tormented
by that dilemma and finally sublimed his repressed homosexuality into composing
immortal music.
Lord Byron chose poetry and veiled his torment. Normal sexuality (not
homosexuality) is genetic but doesn’t enslave us.
We can sublime it, because free will determines behavior.
Millions, not just virtuous monks and priests, do it for many causes.
Some homosexuals were great contributors to civilization who refused to exhibit
and promote their peculiarity.
Gays who choose confrontation ruin their chances to survive in a world in which
the survival of life is reproduction.
Finally, linking homosexuality to Paganism and heterosexuality to Christianity
can degrade to a confrontation between witches and witch hunters.
Or should we dream of an evolutionary transformation modeled after the
“impossible” dialog between Aristotle and Christ?.
Who blinks first?

970124 Multiculturalism menaces to Balkanize USA”
Some writers who cannot master our culture embrace
“deconstructionism”, where reality is a social “construct” to be undone by
arbitrary interpretation, so that opinion replaces truth.
They downgrade culture
into race/gender, and postulate that: Cleopatra (69-30 B. C.) was black (she was from the
white European Macedonian Tolomee family, which Alexander the Great installed to rule Egypt),
Aristotle stole philosophy from the library of Alexandria (which was built
several years after Aristotle's death in 322 b.c.), Egypt, science is a patriarchal fraud, God
usurped Heaven from Goddess, and so on. Shakespeare cannot compete with Marxist,
feminist, lesbian and gay writers in universities like Princeton, Columbia,
Stanford.
Jesse Jackson heads 500 Stanford University students chanting: “He/he,
ho/ho, Western Culture’s got to go..”. Yet people from all over the world come
to America and Europe to absorb our culture.
Overnight anti-West “multicultural
consultants” sprout, but Western Culture is so multicultural, that it does no
longer consider foreign what it assimilated for millennia from other cultures.
Nevertheless, “multiculturalists” (they also deconstruct) aim to balkanize our
cultural complex into hostile fragmentations that destroyed past civilizations.
They don’t see the irony of using Western languages and ideologies to fight the
Western culture. Their enemy is history, not the West.
They slouch into one contraflop (=whatever ends up flopping toward the opposite of its goals) after another.
One
is “ebonics”, an experiment to make black illiterate prattle into a language.
Another is the “Quanzaa”, black "African-American" alternative to Christmas.
Ebonics
transforms childhood illiteracy into a lifetime handicap. The same kind of white
kid illiteracy is just as sloppy as the black, but for centuries it has been
simply corrected, not embalmed into a branding definition. Qwanzaa is even
worse, because it starts pretending that African American heritage is Swahili, a
Persian/Arabian-influenced Bantu language originated in a limited East-Africa
coast area, whereas the original African Americans came from West Africa, where
entirely different languages were spoken.
Then, the Qwanzaa “seven principles” (
Umoya, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba, Imani, Swahili for: unity, self
determination, collective work & responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose,
creativity, faith) resemble a Mickey Mouse Maoism irrelevant to most African
Americans for the past 31 years.
Apolitical Christmas appeals to all races and
cultures, none excluded. It is unforgivable to widen the gap between races and
cultures that need to harmonize.
The monochrome “rainbow coalition” offered to
the black Americans may be discounted as a forgettable contraflop, but trying to
offer them culturally malignant solutions cannot pass unnoticed.
970215 State of the Union missed four afflictions
Your "State of the Union" of Feb. 1st missed 4 basic American
afflictions: (1)race-, (2)gender- and (3)class-hatred, plus (4) unneeded laws.
RACE. Demagogues have fomented anti-white racial hatred, ostensibly because the first
blacks came as slaves. But black slaves were captured by Africans who sold them
to other Africans and Arabs for centuries, before selling them to the whites.
Black Africans still now capture, sell, torture, mutilate and massacre their own
neighbors by the hundreds of thousands, and millions.
Slaves who were brought to
the USA were comparatively “fortunate” and reached higher life standards than
blacks anywhere else. Over 300,000 whites died to free them as full-fledged
Americans, because being American is a cultural, not a racial matter. Therefore
black Americans do not commit the atrocities now endemic in much of Africa.
Demagogues suborn them against the whites to obtain their compact votes, but
they cannot stop the emergence of hundreds of great black Americans, from Thomas
Sowell to Clarence Thomas, who can end the fabricated “African American”
handicaps.
GENDER. Gender chauvinism becomes male-hating feminism, which is genetically
suicidal, for 50% of woman’s genes are paternal.
This speaks unarguably for the
family, which the gender feminists oppose, to confine man to sperm-donor
functions.
So, the feminist egg donors end up with three feet in their mouth.
Class warfare of any kind has one
race main victim: the individual. None of us
can escape being an individual. Furthermore, classes like “workers” and
“capitalists” can no more fight each other than blood and heart.
Do
worker individuals who become capitalists (myriads do) automatically acquire the
evil attributes they previously ascribed to the class of the rich?
Unneeded laws
make
crimes out of problems they are invoked to solve, and criminals out of honorable
citizens who cannot conform.
So, the solutions are expected from legislators
whose overriding interest is to get reelected on the promises of resolving
presumably unresolved issues, with bureaucrats whose jobs depend on keeping the
problems unresolved and contriving more parasitic rules “for our protection”.
I
read that USA has 5% of the world population, but 80% of the world lawyers, and
that Washington DC has more lawyers than all of Japan. If so, shouldn’t lawyers
and bureaucrats legislate most of themselves out of existence?
970318 Man and woman are complementary
In response to a letter criticizing my dislike for gender
feminism, I wish I could compose madrigals to womanhood. The Crusaders learned
them almost 900 years ago from Moslem troubadours who sang to the unreachable
beauties that the rich requisitioned out of circulation.
Wrong scenario; yet it
was uplifting for the same woman who was first blamed for mankind’s evils as the
inquisitive Pandora, then as silly Eve, reputed to accept a rotten apple from a
snake who couldn’t have sold a fur to a naked millionaire on an iceberg.
Countless men and women still believe it after about 3000 years.
Apparently,
both fear the power and responsibility of woman’s existential advantage.
Even
the “lowliest” unwed mother personifies the “mother Nature” metaphor after
heterosexual conjunction. First on a primordial level, before reaching beyond
procreation.
For this, human aspiration is a free posture, not nature’s mandate,
for nature doesn’t care who survives.
A mother can naturally become a
sophisticated nutritionist, nurse, teacher, educator, psychologist, and whatever
her offspring needs. Or settle on a promising cow level.
A man can too, but he
is no promising “father Nature”.
He must prove himself all his life
relentlessly: hunt, compete, conquer, build, lead.
Typically, man builds
pyramids and mousetraps.
Woman nurtures kings and commoners.
Therefore history
is made by woman, but men make history.
A woman who disdains her natural power
sinks into imitating (“competing”) man’s treadmill.
But man/woman are devotedly
complementary, not “opposite” sexes.
Genuine feminism tried to re-route woman from
Venus to Mars, not vice versa.
Gender feminism wants woman to “transcend” the family and compete with man in
selling bonds or driving cement mixers.
It declares science a patriarchal fraud, and that all gender inclination
differences are male-imposed.
It decrees family as woman’s slavery, lesbianism as liberation from heterosexual
male oppression, western culture and white male (adding a smug racist
incongruity) as misogynous strongholds…
Some call the gender feminists “feminazis”, and I quipped about them, while
supporting the genuine feminism. Woman cannot be a gender feminist, but they
make her believe she is, by a semantic deception.
Feminazis detest man, and want woman to thunder for their oxymoronic brand of
“equality”.
I think woman would prefer the genetic differences, for they are coherent with
the triumphant rites of life.
970415 Our children need information, not formation
About 2500 years ago, the Sophists emerged in Greece.
They
were the first philosophers to teach for money and foster the craft of gain
rather than knowledge, so that gain replaced truth and morality.
Previously, teaching was obvious and unconditional, like parenting, and
philosophy searched truth and morality.
Today’s anti-Western culture teachers
resume both the venality and sophistry in an ominous way, politically organized
with periodic pedagogic upgrades.
They are a crusading class forcing the parents
to take position on the ramparts of political warfare, just like the races, man/
woman, employee/employer.
When anti-Western teachers state that they need better
remuneration and working conditions to improve teaching, they degrade education
into a consequence of their welfare, not vice versa.
They join the sophisticated
primitives of anti-Western “deconstructionism”/ “multiculturalism”, who parade
sophisticated articulations of their primitive misconceptions.
They cannot
avoid the virulent modern version of sophistic philosophy, because they are
trapped in the contradictions of ignoring and “deconstructing” a Western culture
they cannot absorb.
As true believers in the new cult, they feel the missionary
zeal to excommunicate those with a different perspective: especially the
bewildered parents.
I could go on and on about the malignant cultural fads. But
what about the serious business of learning? Children go to school to gain
knowledge, but they get opinions instead.
Today’s
deconstructionist/multicultural teaching is a FORMATION process. Teachers are
instilled a politicized pedagogy designed to influence students with multiculturalist
and relativistic fervor based on smug opinions devoid of knowledge.
Brainwashing
and formation differ only in intensity.
An activist teacher vilifying parents
who support a “parental rights amendment” and oppose condom distribution in
schools is either brainwashed or raging that parental involvement can desecrate
teacher’s catechism.
Our children need INFORMATION, NOT FORMATION, for knowledge
is the result of information. We form opinions, not facts.
“Knowledge” from
formation is an imposture.
To overcome a “Catch 22” situation, the countless
genuine teachers who have been muzzled by the present “multi-…“, “post-…“, and
“-ism…“ fads should be freed to disinfest the knowledge establishment.
Just as
Socrates and Plato killed the sophist dragons for 2400 years of posterity.
970513 Family attacked from many sides
Remember the family?
Family is not just sexual gratification,
for which dates and simple copulation would suffice, but the nucleus of life
reproduction and nurture, both sublimed in love. Yet, family is now under attack
by the government, lawyers, homosexuals, feminists, decostructionists and
leftist liberals.
Government delivered the first blow by lowering the majority
age from 21 to 18, removing erotic irresponsibility from parental control.
The
devastating consequences show in our divorce rate.
Our increased longevity and
educational requirements should have raised majority age to 23 or 25. Intrusive
legislation added insult to the damage by giving bureaucrats arrogant power over the family.
“Aid To Dependent Children” and welfare penalized marriage and father’s
involvement.
Lawyers nailed the family’s coffin with “No Fault Divorce”, which insinuated malignancy in every marital difficulty.
Politicized psychologists
branded homosexuality with a “normality” label that redefined the normal people
as “heterosexuals”.
This marginalized the normality of male/female interaction
in the reproductive familial reality.
Recognizing homosexual marriage puts
homosexuals on an unnecessary collision course with the heterosexuals.
Marriage
is upgraded by the family, not by a meddlesome government.
Considering marriage
an unconditional right facilitates a devious substitution of reproductive union
with sterile eroticism, ruthless toward the children (which makes partial-birth
abortion easier than abstinence) and a pandering for votes by irresponsible
voters, whose number increases as bellicose “entitlements” are dispensed like
“wheat and games to the populace” (a Freudian slip about politician’s contempt
for the “populace”).
Gender feminists, ignorant of woman and history, see the
family as patriarchal oppression and woman enslavement.
Deconstructionists, the Trojan
horses of our culture, are dedicated to the deactivation of the family and
Western culture, which they aim to fragment with a malignant “multiculturalism”.
They fear family as the nemesis of big government and multiculturalism.
Nuclear
and extended families harmonize in commonly agreed values and form the basis of
democratic societies from below.
Big government is imposed from above through
proliferating regulations to support bureaucracies and politicized
organizations.
They spawn victimization of workers, women, children,
minorities and races, to fabricate a lynching mood against family, individual
initiative, competition, unpoliticized education, values and secularized
religion.
Does anyone care?
970604 Machiavelli matters.
Our political parties are sometime defined “the evil and the stupid”,
because they push their wishes against the reality.
Leftist bureaucrats pervert
statistical data, naturalize hordes of unqualified and dangerous immigrants, and disguise
lies, all to create welfare-spawning votes.
Republicans, unable to relate to the
public, rely on “experts” who cause incomprehensible election defeats.
Success
favors those who cynically proclaim what the public wants to hear.
Democrats
deliver the chicken-coop to the fox by granting billions to the squanderers of
welfare and education, sacrificing the poor, old and children for votes.
Politicians abuse flattery to snare votes from people they shun. Virtue, love,
rights and morality become slime balls paraded as sacred icons because we cannot
break the vicious circles of misconceptions, deceptions and cover-ups.
Tribunals
play an unrealistic game of win-and-lose, where winners, losers, and lawyers
dispute “indisputable” evidence and use the judges and juries as game pieces .
Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527 a.d.) could have written the above.
About 500 years ago, since he
faced overwhelming prejudices and holy cows, he used a tongue-in-cheek style,
like: “Men ought not to do as they ought to do but ought to do as they do do”,
roughly equivalent to “Pray to God and keep the powder dry”, but weeding out the
metaphysical.
He proposed rules of conduct based on reality and results, rather
than on ideals and faith.
We should build on what “is”, not on what “should
be”, and then develop realistic “should be” from it.
Accordingly, personal
interest is no longer just greed, the respectable banker is not a usurer, the
entrepreneur is not an exploiter, sex is not lechery, passions are human nature.
Their desirability is measured in terms of their results, not of our
convictions.
Sociologists, historians and “Realpolitik” see Machiavelli as the herald of the one system that could finally evolve human behavior through reality. Yet, all we are told he stood for is “The goal justifies the means”, which is sanctimoniously implemented by our parties, unions, government agencies, businesses, politicized organizations and Billary.
Machiavelli never prescribed “evil” against “good”.
He exposed the problem only to expose a diagnose for a
prognosis.
So should we.
970701 Clinton's ominous snafus
Clinton’s fingernails are scratching the chalkboard of
history.
His first action in office was to order the military to admit the
homosexuals unconditionally, which made a festering gash out of a sore.
Now, he
wants the American whites to apologize to the blacks for past slavery. Against
history and truth? How many American whites had slaves? What about asking
African tribes to apologize for having captured and sold their neighbors to
America centuries ago? Nonsense: either neighbors would have captured and sold
the others if they had won the fights.
Clinton even proposes a year of racial
“conversation”, with the whites in forced apologizing submission.
No, Billary,
let’s converse in earnest, lest further falsifications of truth and history
worsen the situation irreversibly. History shows: (1) Over 600,000 white
Americans died for under 2,000,000 blacks (slaves and not) in the Civil War.
That is, 1 white died for 3 black slaves (without counting the wounded and
crippled). No one else, anywhere, anytime, sacrificed nearly as much for the
blacks. (2) Black America is freer, healthier, more prosperous and civilized
than any black (and often non-black) nation in the world. (3) Survival of black
slaves brought to America was much higher than that of their captors in Africa.
No one, anywhere, anytime, did nearly as much against the blacks as the African
blacks. Therefore, informed blacks are thankful that their enslaved ancestors
were brought to America rather than left in Africa, then liberated by the whites
who even died for it, while slavery and gigantic holocausts were and are still
persisting in Africa. (4) Thousands of black Americans owned slaves too.
Actually, American blacks and whites should celebrate their good luck. With
that, political racial vampirism would starve to death. And so would the
white-hating organizations, publications, media, politicians, educators and
history fakers who thrive on unopposed anti-white and anti-America propaganda.
Deserted by race pimps, cynical liberals and invertebrate conservatives,
courageous blacks and whites will have to start constructive harmony together.
And black /white Americans would finally evolve into their cultural brotherhood.
But, please, let’s keep political histrionics and sanctimonious vultures out of
it.
970805 To closet or not to closet
Meddling politics inject a
cancerous growth into homosexuality.
First, homosexuals have no choice but
active proselytizing, to obtain pro-gay laws, because they are less than 2%, not
the advertised 10%, of our society.
Furthermore, since politically correct
American psychologists have declared homosexuals normal, raising and converting
children into homosexuality is an efficient expedient to promote the homosexual
legal privileges.
The very fact that homosexuals frantically deny that they do
it is quite a contorted Freudian slip.
Religion, anthropology and art suggest
that the lure of sex is rooted in the darkness of forbidden mysteries, where
myth and reality converge. Therefore, sanitized nakedness in nudism camps lacks
the hidden pathos of sex taboos and induces erotic fantasies about dressed
nudists.
Since sex is the origin of life, many consider any lovemaking without
reproduction intent as an aggravated mutual masturbation. It can be branded as a
defying debauchery, if openly unleashed.
Like any unreproductive sex,
homosexuality has traditionally remained discreet to proceed undisturbed.
Legal
protection of homosexuality as a civil right exacerbates a social conflict
culminating in the gay marriage dispute.
Marriage, like sex, has one fundamental
purpose: reproduction of the species.
Sexual pleasure was created by nature, not
by man, merely as bait to reproduction. Gay marriages do not produce children
any more than sex between same-gender fat or tall people, or between corkscrews. Therefore, a law
granting the right of same-gender people to marry is grotesque. Moreover,
children raised by gay parents flaunt deviation from the natural family. I doubt
that the homosexuals wish to use gay marriage to advocate a barren society.
Gay
geniuses and leaders avoided exposure by muffling their homosexuality, in order
to work with undisturbed creativity; otherwise, we would have lost some immortal
achievements we benefit from. The militancy of gay exhibitionists has no more
right to favored political protection than that of astronomers or nurses of the
same gender pursuing mutual erotic gratification.
Besides, who could stop the
legislating government from regulating fellatio, cunnilingus, onanism, sodomy
and bisexual fornication? Homosexuals and sex gourmets would seek refuge in new
closets…
Question of morality? That and beyond, where congruity comes first.
970905 Undaunted Black Pragmatism
I read an impressive editorial (probably 1000 words) by a
brilliant black columnist on a wistful trip to her native home in S.Carolina,
reminiscing that, 35 years ago, blacks could not sit in a local restaurant, were
object to abuse, etc.
Next page, the newspaper had a timid 100-word mention of
massacres in Africa by Hutus who burned tents with 8000 Tutsis inside and hacked
hundreds of them to death, in northern Rwanda.
Days before, a dear friend told
me that the blacks are still smarting from discrimination, therefore I shouldn’t
write that they are better off in USA than anywhere else.
Perspective, please!
Why musing about a fading past more than protesting that Tutsis, Hutus, Zulus,
Somalis, Sudanese, Nigerians, Liberians, Rwandans, and many more African blacks
are torturing, massacring, selling each other into slavery still now, and still
continuing?
What would that talented columnist be doing if Rwandans, Hutus,
Sudanese or other African blacks were running the USA?
Anyone can still affirm that the
American blacks are better off in USA than anywhere else, even recognizing that
there are still racial discrimination problems to resolve.
On the other hand, other
injustices and abuses still suffered by all, including whites, were and are
often worse than racial discrimination.
Yet, their victims produce far less votes than
the victimized blacks. Therefore, we gloss over bigotry, atrocities and
massacres in most nations and cultures. Denouncing or punishing them is futile,
and can even exacerbate them. Continuous rehashing of past racial wrongs foments
insatiable resentment on both sides. It contaminates the black-American posture
with incurable hostility and fattens the race pimps. Politicians need victims to
entice their votes. Only education and undaunted goodwill can provide the racial
justice we need.
A black businessman friend of mine employs only whites, and he
says: “Today most blacks are unreliable”.
I disagree, and he overstates: “The
problem is not race, but using their troubles as excuses for irresponsibility. I
want to make a good living; I have talent and no excuses. And that’s it.”.
This
undaunted pragmatism could obviate black unemployment and disadvantages by
impartially exposing some factors politicians consider unmentionable.
971003 The "Di" syndrome
356 B.C., Herostratus a typically forgettable man, decided
to acquire an absurd and logically immortal fame by burning down the temple of
Artemis, in Ephesus, Greece, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
He succeeded
as the first of the famous nobodies. In 1981 A.D., Diana Spencer, 20, a
stunningly photogenic beauty, married Prince Charles, to become the future queen
of of the U. K., mother of a future king, and a mutated Herostratus.
As she didn’t
fit Charles and the royal life style, she became the Windsor Dynasty translucent
Trojan horse.
Charles returned to his long-time sweetheart and Diana upstaged
him with multiple adulteries.
After the unavoidable divorce, instead of retiring into
opulent privacy, like other billionaire spouses dedicated to showy good deeds
without skills or sacrifices, she used royal and public money, plus the media
and the paparazzi, to undermine the royal family.
She even stated publicly that
Charles (father of her children) was “unfit to be a king”.
Aug. 31, 97, she died
in a 120(!)-mph car crash in a tunnel in Paris, with an Arab playboy lover, a
bodyguard and a drunken driver.
The ensuing explosion of hyperpopularity in her
favor generated a tabloid revelry with mob schmaltz.
Her tragedy overshadowed
her failure to burn the royal temple that nurtured her, created a new
misdirected fame, and vindicated the Windsors by default.
In historical
contrast, two authentic giants, Viktor Frankel, 92, and Mother Teresa, 87, died
within 5 days after Diana.
Dr. Viktor Frankel, an Austrian Jewish genius who
survived 3 Nazi Holocaust camps, created the logotherapy, an existentialist
psychological methodology that used a logic search for meaning as a therapeutic
tool: a revolutionary advance from stagnating post-Freudian psychoanalysis, to
resolve countless emotional and intellectual problems. Mother Teresa, the
towering saint who formulated and mastered her life’s meaning, epitomized holy
life itself. . There is no description good enough to depict her in this short
letter.
As an oxymoronic twist, someone compared Mother Teresa with princess Diana; like comparing a
mighty river with a pretty bubble…
As to dr. Frankel, his meaning is far beyond the mental range of mobs, tabloids
and paparazzi.
971107 Where reason is not enough
Both
Nietzsche (with misgivings) and Marx (with relish) proclaimed that God was dead.
Too many politically correct clergy secretly agree and double-preach.
Since we
cannot eliminate God without putting something in His place, we install a
deconstructed Morality cult, like that of the Goddess Reason in the French
Revolution. But this Morality cult is doomed like Goddess Reason’s because it has no
priests and proven sacred absolutes.
Despite their claims, most people prefer believing
against thinking.
The smug dismissal: “You are entitled to your opinion” is the
taste-equalizing ketchup on right and wrong, which renders opinion and truth
equally irrelevant.
About 2500 years ago, Buddha created a metaphysical-mental
process in India, and Confucius a normative familial-social system in China.
Both mentioned no god or afterlife, had behavioral rules, and were attractive
substitutes for religion. But mankind was not ready for sophisticated wisdom,
and changed them into the religions we know today.
In America, we go from
religion to an anti-Western nihilistic “deconstructionism” that approaches the
Orwellian “Love is hatred”, “Truth is falsehood” implicit in “Everyone is
entitled to any opinion”.
Traditional religion preaches DUTIES, whereas today‘s
“REASON” offers popular “RIGHTS.
Duties require discipline and facilitate
cooperation; rights attract votes and foment conflicts.
We have the vicious
political, racial, gender, cultural and other conflicts.
“Anti-hate” laws
promote hatred toward politically incorrect citizens.
Gandhi preached “Eye for
an eye makes the world blind”, and today’s persistence of eye-for-an-eye
atrocities reconfirms his wisdom.
Unionized workers call their employers
operation infamous and demand compensation for their years of “devotion” (to
infamy?) to the employer.
Condoms and chastity sermons are simultaneously delivered to school
children.
We may tell diabetics to avoid sugar but are forbidden to advise
homosexuals to avoid AIDS-infested sodomy, or to call it unnatural.
American
industry is depicted as a malefic polluter and workers-exploiter, while it
produces the world’s best sanitation, medicines, food, jobs, progress and
prosperity.
Christians, Moslems and others have behaved no better than most
atheists, but they still had undisputed rules which, if followed, would have
resolved many problems.
Our present “postmodern” society disputes those rules and the Ten Commandments
as mere patriarchal impositions. Ask any gender feminist.
971220 The age of Mediocracy
Our voting system favors the
misinformed and incompetent. They elect mediocrities like Clinton, who focus on
political correctness, vote-pandering, septic political contributions, sex
harassment, homosexuality, abortion and “racial justice”.
What can Bill/Hillary do
after failing to resolve the Bosnian and Midlle-East impasses, the tax,
healthcare and racial mess?
Take credit for the Republican-protected economy?
History disagrees.
Jump on the Green-House-Effect wagon? But is there a
greenhouse effect?.. Another flop…
Then comes the media poison pill: a black man
in shackles on Newsweek’s front page: “Should America Apologize?” (What
“America”?).
Clinton jumps centerstage, to make history, and publicly praises a
white teenager’s embarassment in front of an indigent black. It’s slavery, man!
Hate the whites! Applause.
Aren’t 600,000 white Civil-War dead enough? How many
whites owned blacks? 1 or 2%?
Over 1000 blacks owned black slaves In New Orleans
alone.
A college professor tries to explain his findings that lower intellectual
interest among blacks and Latinos is aggravated by focusing on blaming the
whites rather than on self-improvement.
Suddenly, eagerly, all the national race
pimps scurry to the TV screens and thunderously demand the professor’s social
and professional execution. But KKK and Nazi parades are still allowed and
police-protected.
What if the race-pimps run out of excuses, and the blacks have
to face each-other and admit that they are like everybody else?
We all (white, black and in-between) had
enslaved ancestors.
Then, there is sex. Straight, homo, abused, porno, and the
gender feminists demand for the politically correct petting only after the
proper male petition for the legally expressed female permission for every
creeping step of his hand under her underwear.
Armies of sex-frustrated prigs
mushroom out of nowhere and set up hate-the-man clinics and sex-abuse
witch-hunts, spiced with “suppressed-memory” recalls.
Thousands of hapless
adults and children are emotionally and socially crippled for life by the
sex-witch-hunters.
The prigs legislate against “hate crimes”, but the hate they
spawn is much more diffused and vicious than the alleged “abuse”, “greed” or
“bigotry”.
They think that their own perversion is an ordained virtue, because
it is politically correct. .
Just like those who chose Barabbas.
980104 Religions seem unable to stop anarchy
I read the Protestant message “Peace on Earth, and good will
toward man” in a Catholic church. The Catholic message is: “Peace on Earth to
the men of good will”, which stresses the basic requirement of good deeds beside
faith. The priest I asked about it said that the matter was “unimportant”.
Wrong: it is theologically fundamental. Rationalizing everything is the AIDS of
Christianity, Judaism, Islam and any revealed religion.
Without doctrinal
absolutes, each of those religions seems unable to stop the anarchy within.
The
more “progressive” or “with the times” a church becomes, the more clergy become
like doctors who join the insanity of the asylum inmates.
To wit: the gay
ministers in gay communities.
God has been democratized. He’d better like it, or
they’ll elect another god, as they do with ministers who don’t please their
parishioners. Therefore new sects mushroom every day everywhere, to sanctify
whatever the marginal deviants want to hear.
A prestigious physician
unexpectedly discontinued her famous lectures and joined a “mutual-masturbation
church”. Probably we will see her preaching against masturphobia, a newfound
hatecrime.
Perspective? In the 1618-1648 European “Thirty-Year War”, both
politicized Catholics and Protestants committed wholesale rape, torture and even
cannibalism against each other, and massacred one third of Europe, in the name
of God.
Embarrassing to remember.
Thus, history shows that religion cannot
accept politicized equality, rights without duties, and the consequent
“everything goes”.
Add the anti-Western multiculturalism, and we have a recipe
of Dr. Jekyll’s potion.
Role models? “Mother Teresa is too remote" –said the lady
on the radio- "I look up to princess Diana: with her defects and adulteries, she
is like most of us…”. Neurotic bimbos rather than heroes and saints?
200 years
ago, GWF Hegel, the fountainhead of modern thinking, stated that there are 2
kinds of men: the free, willing to die for their beliefs, and the slaves, who
compromise anything to survive. It boils down to the rare virtuous ones versus
the crowds of evil and invertebrates among us.
How do we recognize the free man?
But then, would slaves elect him or another Billary for leadership?
980203 Small world, global trouble
When I returned from Paris last
November, I wanted to relate 2 shocking experiences: the reaction to a book and
the strike by 225,000 French truckers who deliberately blocked international
transportations, causing surprising multinational damages, countless hospital
and plant shutdowns, and even murders.
Concomitant with the strike was the
celebration of the 80th Nov. 7th anniversary of the Soviet Revolution, and the
publication of the 830-page “Le Livre noir du communisme” (“Communism’s Black
Book”), by reputable scholars documenting how leftist politics concealed
international communism massacres of 85 to over 100 (perhaps 120) million dissidents.
The
strike was loudly publicized by the shocked international reaction.
The book got
some mentions, but I was unable to find or order it in any Paris bookstore.
This
was ominous in 1997-8 Europe, where only Germany and Spain have non-leftist
governments.
Back in the USA, I tried to publish about the above experience, but
I was told that that was for syndicated columnists. I again tried to buy the
book, but no one seemed to know about it.
The only mention I found in the press
was Jan. 16, in the Wall Street Journal, by Anne Applebaum, columnist of
London’s Sunday Telegraph.
Here are two unspeakable horrors:
First, the
revelation of the worst carnage by far in human history.
Second, the fact that
such a revelation is ignored or glossed over is too appalling to believe.
A
socialist bigot rationalized: “We erect altars to idols like “Liberté, Egalité,
Fraternité”, or Socialism. Then, we start digging the foundations of socialism
through the bodies of the blamed and executed dissidents. Mankind’s salvation is
worth the death of human trash”.
A Parisian leftist bureaucrat became cynically
hostile when I asked why he was disturbed by the “bourgeois greed” and not by
the communist massacres. “That is class war –he added- and war has fatalities”.
That proved my point.
In Europe, they have destroyed the asylum but preserved
the lunacy.
Is our public indifference to politicized immorality metastasizing
into apathy about the worst massacres in history? Who can shift the American
focus from Clintonian crotch operettas to such an unimaginable tragedy?
980212 It is cultures, not races
A way to worsen the racial problem
is to start a “Racial Dialog”. Races cannot dialog any more than livers or
pituitary glands.
Only individuals can “dialog” about convictions and ideas,
regardless of their race, gender, status and nationality. A white and a black,
both devoted to Communism, Capitalism, Catholicism, Islam or microbiology have
much more in common than two blacks (or two whites), who diverge in differing
ideas.
Some people obsessed with race resemble vociferous zombies who see and
hear no reality.
Understanding racial differences as morphologic rather than
cultural is the key to solving our racial conflicts.
Racial pimps and Kukluxklanners refuse the historical evidence that intraracial
(inside of a race) conflicts can be much more serious and frequent than between
races.
Conflicts within Hutus/Tutsis or other African blacks, between religions,
parties and nations anywhere on earth are incredibly worse than between whites
and blacks.
The ancestral tribes of the American black slaves used to kill or sell into
slavery a much higher percentage of their co-racial neighbors than whites versus
“coloreds” anywhere..
Gullible whites seem to crave the surrealistic guilt of owning slaves centuries
ago (maximum 1 or 2% of the white owned them).
Besides, how many black Americans would be alive or exist at all today, had not
their enslaved forefathers been brought to America?. Those who could not be sold
were too often killed or eaten by the captors.
Furthermore, the slaves would have become the captors and slave traders if they
had won the same tribal wars that enslaved them.
Even without 600,000 white dead in the Civil War, no one else in the world did
so much as the Americans to eliminate slavery (against the opposition of the
African slave-traders). Yet, we remained with racial prejudices because too many
whites and blacks are unable to distinguish between racial and cultural
differences.
We can change cultures, not races. Statements about irreconcilable differences
hide the fear that cultural harmony will put race pimps and vultures out of
business.
Expecting the originally (West-African) American blacks to switch to distorted
East-African (Swahili) “heritages” is anti-American-black, because it falsifies
and handicaps them out of the American mainstream.
In successful countries, children of any ethnic origin are educated into the
prevailing language and customs, in order to function and succeed.
Expecting the blacks to adopt primitive “ebonics” language and California-made
“Quanzaa” ignores that sophisticated English and Christmas belong more naturally
to the born American blacks than to most immigrants who came after them.
Americans who defiantly coagulate and practice African or other non-American
ethnic characteristics to affirm their identity versus white Americans act like
blind boisterous zombies programmed to self-destruct. Millions of blacks and
whites finally understand it.
There is also the problem of “rights” as a bait.. Rights attract votes but
foment hostility when they are without duties.
Duties –with or without rights- promote harmony, but require effort and
responsibility.
Blacks have been conned with mirages of unconditional rights by white and black
political vultures who even assert that duties for the blacks are exploitation
by the whites.
This takes from the blacks the incentive toward acquiring skills and forces the
whites to increase their own.
Nothing could widen the gap more between white and black, rich and poor.
Education could obviate the racial problems. It would show that races and their
differences remain immutable regardless of understanding or prejudices. It is
culture that creates prejudices, advantages and drawbacks. Demagogues tell the
blacks “education is a white thing” to keep racial tensions chaotic.
Education would show that the American blacks, as a group, would already be one
of the richest nations on earth. Education also shows that Egypt, Mesopotamia
and India (preceded by the Sumerians) were neither black nor our primary roots.
That fiction was created by the race pimps to generate a false-pride trap to
distract the blacks from an autonomous educational process, which would free
them from their exploiters.
On the other hand, what would Mesopotamians (today’s Iraqis) have to do with the
black Americans whose ancestors were raised and enslaved in West Africa? No more
than the Russians with the Zulus.
Yet, a Russian raised in Zululand is enormously more different from a Russian
raised in Russia than a Zulu raised in Russia.
Difficult to understand?
980310 Public and media immersed in rotting brew
The brew is rotting and simmering,
impenetrable, dark. Much of the public and media are immersed in it and
ostensibly comfortable.
Occasionally, a slimy, putrid bubble emerges and pops
Rodney King’s riots, Diana’s Paparazzism, Bill’s debauchery.
Some public voices
proclaim the cliché ”My mind is made up, don’t confuse me with facts”, or they must
recognize that what they want to condone is unforgivable. Oddly, the bubbly brew
connotes Goethe’s drama of Dr. Faust contracting his soul to Satan to obtain
power, youth and the lovely Gretchen.
Yet, Faust was a scholarly sage, not the
lowbrow public/media brew. We have many Faust personifications: the politicized
crowds slobber over obviously criminal gorillas, promiscuous bimbos and pornogoatish presidents as expedients to hit targets, further goals and pursue
ideologies they cannot confess openly.
Political vultures and their followers
fall into defending a doped black criminal and murderous riots to flash their
racial pietism.
Schmaltzy mobs slide into idolizing a photogenic adulteress to
cover the guilt of their lost virtues. Hillary is trapped in her Faustian
connivance with Bill’s adulteries, because she needs him to preserve her power
leftovers and her questionable place in history.
Meanwhile, Bill’s satyrism
fills the chronicles. No alternatives: the contract is irrevocable. Virtue,
fidelity, duties, merit-connected results, and man/woman/family devotion are no
longer there to go back to. They deliver our nation to the demagogues, welfare
usurers, vampiristic bureaucrats, and political maggots.
Will the Billary
carcinoma metastasize? Race and gender exploiters, fawning parasites, political
prostitutes sing the narcotic “who cares” mantra so that Billary can work on
their schemes… Bill’s popularity means votes, power, even at the cost of the
souls they have long lost…
Do we really think that the sinners of Sodom and
Gomorrah thought: “I want to be depraved, evil”? I bet they said: “I am God’s
creature. Therefore, God is with me”.
They united like corrupted workers or
professionals to monopolize their interests and those of their virtuous
counterparts.
The latter have the Faustian dilemma of exposing the evil and
confronting its reaction. Redemption comes from rising against the evil.
It’s risky, but integrity can win against skullduggery.
980406 The leftists stew in their own juice
In about the year 1800, Hegel, the most influential modern
philosopher, thought the French Revolution was the “end of history”, that is,
the ultimate synthesis of social development for all time. But it degenerated
into despotic terror. Now, we think Democracy is the ultimate.
But Democracy is
being perverted by leftist government contamination. After the USSR collapse,
the government centralization rationale had to switch to the anti-Western,
anti-family, feminist and perverted mantras, with intrusive controls and
predatory bureaucracies.
So, will democracy also fail? Not, if we let the
leftists stew in their own juice, like the Soviets.
First, the welfare state is
being crushed by its own weight.
Gender-feminism’s belligerence ("feminazism") is sinking
through the defensive phase. Our cynically fornicating president is being
defended by Anita Hill, who tried to destroy a Supreme Court judge because of
his joke about pubic hair on a bottle, and by Gloria Steinem, who sees Clinton
as a “victim” of sex addiction, not as perpetrator of malignant debauchery.
Liberal legislators act like philanthropists who practice brain surgery without
knowing anatomy.
Conservatives are unable to show that they oppose brain
butchery rather than brain surgery.
The concurrence of disguised socialism and
deconstructionist culture favors an octopus-government against democracy.
Liberal “democracy” demonizes productive citizens and multiplies the majority of
failures and help addicts in favor of more government control, which penalizes
competition, evolution and initiative. In other words, it chains freedom in
favor of an imposed equality. This recalls the conservative version of
Rousseau’s: “Man was born free but everywhere he is in chains”, whereas the
American liberal version unleashed the lethal incest of freedom with enforced
equality of results.
In that, Clinton has the satanic ability of attracting
those he exploits, of making deception look like help, and cynicism like
compassion.
How many people do we know like Clinton, with so many friends and
associates convicted, jailed, contaminated, destroyed by defamation, suicide,
“accidents”, permanently crippled in so many ways? His tacky fornication is only
one facet of his diabolic allure. Surrealistically, his popularity spreads like
an unstoppable plague.
Could his Gomorrah become the end of history?
980505 \ Sex makes the difference
Our man/woman rules are based on assumptions as wishful as
bi-directional gravity.
Sex makes the life-and-death difference.
A one-minute
copulation can involve woman for over 20 years with child, without man even
remembering it. Reproduction needs man’s craving and potency, regardless of
woman’s desire or even awareness.
Man has to prove himself and perform all his
life.
Woman is the existential metaphor: all she needs is to exist, for she is
born virtually complete, finished, and yet free to develop further.
She is
Mother Nature, and invariably symbiotic with her children.
Man’s appears
superior: one man can produce even more than one thousand children.
One
superwoman cannot produce more than about 30-40 children, no matter with how
many men.
But woman’s advantage is precisely that all she needs is one child to
be Mother Nature.
There is no Father Nature.
Since woman’s superiority
recognition could alienate and neuter man, she nurtures his conditional and
useful superiority.
Therefore matriarchy was always a welcome failure and
patriarchy a convenient success.
Ours is a temporary period in history in which
both woman and man sacrifice woman/man symbiosis on the altar of an “equality”
that only produces hostile “woman rights” and man’s desertion.
The eternal “I am
yours and you are mine”, where poetry and reality fuse, becomes a bureaucratized
psychological taboo.
“No-fault divorce” destroys 90 families for the ten it
amputates, deprives children of a potential parental attitude and sacrifices
traditional manhood Man’s sacrificial superiority is not new.
Some Calicut
(Malabar in India) tribe used to anoint a man as king and to slaughter him after
12 years. He was superior, as king. All obeyed his whims. But he was sacrificed
to the survival of his slaves.
Christianity was called “slaves’ religion”,
because the slaves were the last, but ultimately the first.
We affirm, with
condescension, that insects will inherit the Earth. We imply some dark humor in
it, but beetles are already well underway…
Probably outerspace beetles have
already invaded Earth, and we don’t know… And we still think man is the king of the
universe.
Is a sadistic god(dess) playing with us?
J
980603 About sophisticated primitivism
This newspaper allows monthly letters of maximum 350 words about
“general” matters, while it invites 13 columnists to write weekly 750-word each
about “local” matters like potholes and PTA.
I’ll try to describe within 350
words how we are being infused intellectual privitivism, relativism, gayola,
etc. It’s both general and local, like most important matters.
Our everyday life
is being infused with “deconstructionism”, which sees truth and morality as
false social “constructs”, and replaces traditional values with personal
interpretations. So, even hippies can become tenured university professors who
jumble race, gender, politics and homofornication in “postmodern” culture.
Primitive whites resent a Western culture they cannot understand, and
politicized blacks are being prompted that their race doesn’t belong.
Gender
feminists proclaim that science and family are patriarchal frauds.
Instant-intellectuals contrive sophisticated articulations of the primitive notion that
Western culture must be replaced with Balkanizing “multiculturalism” and moral
relativism, which affect our children.
Ironically, those concepts were developed
and exhaustively analyzed by the Western culture they accuse.
“Right” and
“wrong” are first scrambled, then homogenized into a “collectively shared
responsibility”, which obstructs the hometown police against crime and the U.N
against genocide in Rwanda and against the documented massacres of over a
hundred millions nonconformists by communists since 1917.
The communist culprits
avoid prosecution because Marxism contaminates the decostructionist and
anti-Western “intellectuals”.
Where will “social-justice” liquidate the next
dissidents?
History condemns the leftists, and they drown history in “social studies”
in our local schools.
“Postmodernism” prescribes the interpretation of (homo)sexual
and political “meaning” of art works, purging them of aesthetic value and
author’s mind.
5 volumes of the 60 titles of the “Oxford History of Art” have
been published to describe art only in sexual/political/Marxist terms. How many
artists would want anyone to focus on their sexuality instead of the aesthetic
value of their masterpieces?
The tenured postmodern professors keep
communicating with each other away from comprehensible public exposure, and we
end up with the demented Unabomber facing the Inquisitor who hides behind a
defensively impenetrable “intellectualism”.
Could these 350 words help the timid
and deceived majority out of the quicksands?

980701 The unnecessary confrontation
A letter (April 23) to Kenosha
News misquoted the Bible: “...Just to love a (male) God with all your heart.
(Isn’t that a form of homosexuality?)”.
Fellatio/sodomy with Whom?
No reaction
was published. But the press reacts to Clinton’s appointment of an openly gay
ambassador to Luxembourg.
Could the American Psychological Association
come up with another politicized legerdemain to validate the fabricated claim that
homo-sympathizers are the majority?
Militant homosexuals also try to homo-mutate
family, education, God, Bible and most typically Judeo-Christian values.
Nature
implants the sexual drive in us only as an inducement toward reproduction. Then,
reproduction ascends to higher goals.
Homosexual gratification as a
characterizing aspiration is a non-reproductive impasse.
Aggressive homosexual
militancy alienates itself in a closed political circle.
Western morality
controls self-centered lust gratification (homo and hetero) with the sin
designation, and with guilt feeling after sinning.
Neutralizing guilt with
“self-esteem” cripples morality. Hitler, Stalin etc. had abundant self-esteem.
Militant homosexuals are not happier than orgiastic heterosexual deviants.
A
family based on homosexuality is an oxymoron. ****
Gays who want natural children
need artificial heterosexual copulation. What better self-indictment?
Calling
gay cohabitation “marriage” is like claim jumping on the most venerable
heterosexual institution, and it looks like a masochistic extrapolation.
Therefore, like any non-reproductive sexual activity, homosexuality belongs in
the closet.
Heterophobia is much more vicious than homophobia.
Moreover,
heterosexuals are at least 98% of society. Zoologist Kinsey’s 10% homosexual
figure came from a pool that included psychopaths, criminals and “temporary
homosexuals”.
“Pursuit of happiness”? Happiness and pleasure are the ultimate
opposites. “Gay Pride Parades”, worse than the ancient “Bacchanalia”, end in hypercrowded emptiness.
Both heterosexuality and homosexuality need discretion
and restraint.
Happiness necessitates self-renewing "higher yet" goals on a
loftier-than-crotch level, whereas pleasure is just an interlude.
Sexuality is
genetic but not enslaving. We can sublime it, because free will determines
behavior. Millions do it. Tchaikowsky (1849-1893) sublimed his repressed deviation into
composing immortal music. Lord Byron chose poetry and veiled his homosexuality.
Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), probably the greatest genius in human history,
was claimed to be a homosexual. His mysteriously smiling Mona Lisa painting
(which he presumably kept with him until he died) is suspected to reveal what
only a few may be allowed to know beyond both homosexuality and
heterosexuality...
Rather than blame homosexuals, I object to one-dimensional hetero and homo
militants who handle pleasure as the ultimate goal, especially when they
requisition even God for their unnecessarily inflammatory crusades.
980805 When sin becomes a virtue
Sin is Virtue. Ignorance is
Wisdom.
When you lose a politically correct argument, just call your opponent
names. A police is doomed if he reacts in kind to an attacking criminal, but
anyone may chant “kill the cops”. Sin is becoming virtue, ignorance and
perversion are merit badges. “I cannot identify with Mother Teresa –says a woman
on the radio- but I do with Princess Diana: she is an adulteress, like us all…”
The narcissistic cult of our popular “equals” as “role models” invites us to
worship into our mirror. No more looking up. Rot where you are.
There is a
strong campaign to eliminate grades in tests and make all contestants winners in
sports.
The family is being legislated into an amoral democracy. Children may
divorce their parents.
It is easier to marry and divorce than to get a driver
license.
Western culture is the highest expression of human achievement in
history, but the primitive culturally inerts oppose it in favor of
“multiculturalism”, without understanding that Western culture is the epitome of
multiculturalism itself. Deviant and immoral behavior patterns are declared
“normal” by second-rate organizations and political groupies.
Ignorant and
selective haters will be unionized as soon as they find a politically correct
designation.
Race hatred is carefully maintained virulent to avoid the solutions
that would remove the racial disadvantages and the race pimps. It is welded
with chronic poverty, to sustain the coalition with the poverty vultures.
Self-important political hopefuls seek popularized martyrdom with carefully
faked tortures, fasts, and similar tricks. Leftists spread stupid notions that
all “rich” abuse the “poor”, without understanding that all “rich” know they
cannot survive without opening social-economic mobility to the poor.
That is why
the communist nightmare was consummated by its own ideology.
Ultra feminists proclaim
that family and children are woman’s slavery to man. But no woman owes less of
her total essence to her father than to her mother.
Would abortion advocates
prefer to have been aborted?
What about consummating it retroactively?
Of course, while I cowardly publish my full name, noble knights perform the
heroic deeds of calling me names from the shiny armor of their courageous
anonymity.
980917 The Billary loose cannons on deck
Apparently to divert
attention from his broom closet herotics, Clinton falls back on his
mass-demagoguery, but displays obtuse cynicism about integrity, honor,
responsibility and worldwide obligations.
The retaliation the anti-American
terrorists deserve should avoid the trap they hope we fall into. Yet, Clinton
swallowed the bait, instead of preparing his retaliation with the necessary
diplomatic/military/strategic sophistication beyond the present tit-for-tat
operettas. He has begun a potentially unstoppable worldwide nightmare that his
cheerleader Albright calls “the war of the future”: the only possible “two-way”
unilateral war (I thought it was an oxymoron) in which the terrorists get the
sizzling steak while we obtain only shriveled potatoes.
Hundreds of millions of
Arabs, Iraqis, Syrians, Iranians, Indonesians, Africans, Turkish/Moslems spread
from Turkey to most of Southern Siberia and Asia, and many others live scattered
in mountainous, impervious areas with less than one-person-per-mile population.
With just a primitive nuclear, biological or whatever bomb in the New York,
Chicago or Los Angeles area, they can cause havoc beyond imagination. We must
deploy enormously larger expenses, manpower and super-sophisticated weapons on
virtually deserted territories to obtain almost insignificant results.
On August
21, Clinton did the equivalent of killing two lice with two bazookas despite his
theatrical efforts to impress the world. He wrapped himself in his recycled
patriotism and reaped international sarcasm. While the public focus is on his
fornications, the prosecutors are legally required to report on
Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Rose Law Firm records, Hubbell, etc.
Furthermore, the stage is crowded with the rattling skeletons of the Foster
“suicide”, criminally removed documents, papers shell-games, Hillary’s “miracle”
of "investing" $1 for a $100 thousand profit, Tyson Foods, Lippo Group, Chinagate, Teamstersgate,
and an incredible number of victims Clinton discarded like cigarette
butts.
Would you buy a used truck from Bill or leave your daughter alone with
him? Nevertheless, he is “popular”, according to unbelievable polls.
Should a
special prosecutor check the authenticity or contrived predictability of those
polls and expose the fraudulent communications by Clinton groupies to the
public?
What if all the above is on the tip of the iceberg of the leftist contamination
of America?
981017 "Revolution" sought to trash U.S. culture
Clinton’s followers are seduced by
the “revolution” of the 60s, when America tried to jettison its cultural
heritage. That cultural watershed glitched into “deconstructionist” and
neomarxistic primitivism bent on trashing 3000 years of Western history.
However, while other cultures like the Egyptian or Chinese experienced millennia
of stagnation, Western civilization was always vibrant and creative, even in
the” ‘Dark Ages”, and included the Mediterranean countries, Europe, the American
continent, comprising numerous ethnic groups and languages.
The diverse range of
Western achievements is so powerful that only a lifetime of studies can
comprehend it adequately. The hippies, Marxists, gender feminists, and other
anti-American activists themselves don’t realize that they use Western
philosophy to attack their own culture, like a dog chasing his own tail.
Over
2000 years of Western thinking were planted in Greek and Latin literature,
which began most of our cultural progress. Therefore these two languages were
the foundation of our classic education. Our Founding Fathers were raised with
such curriculum and predicated it for the following generations.
Today’s
“Clinton talk” and immorality were taught by the Sophists 2500 years ago, and
soon vivisectioned and embalmed by Socrates and disciples with a finesse never
surpassed thereafter. Average kids used to translate such writings from ancient
Greek and Latin in 10th grade.
Citizens so educated are not fooled by a Clinton
who bewitches politically naive voters with gilded flimflam. Even our
Asia-originated Judeo/Christian religions drank from the Greco-Roman well.
Thomas Aquinas used Aristotle teachings to develop the greatest theological
treatise ever.
Plato’s “Republic” is still unsurpassed, and so many other ancient
writings.
Surprisingly and unknown to most, USA is now becoming the center of
Western culture revival, from history research to the Chicago Symphony, more so
than Europe. Yet, “sex education”, narcissistic “self esteem”, charismatic
snake-oil politicians, focus on school politics and salaries rather than
curricula; drug/race/gender cultural cesspools and political prostitution
submerge the needs of our children and families, where our future originates.
Someone said that thinking itself originates from failure.
It reminds me of Rome and Italy, who endured countless ordeals to overcome the
rotten politics that wrecked ancient Greece.
981110 Conservatism may help U.S. avoid crisis
It takes more than crowing to make the sun rise.
A
catastrophic worldwide financial storm is devastating one country after another
from Asia and South America and is spreading toward Europe and USA.
It started
unheeded, emerged first in July-November 1997 in currency, banking and
industrial calamities in countries like Thailand and South Korea, then 1998 in
Malaysia, Indonesia (May), Russia (August), Brazil and China (October) and many
areas in-between, let alone Japan.
So far, the total involves disastrous
inflations, national bankruptcies, crippling unemployment, misplaced capital
depletions, and resulting poverty of such gravity that 40% of the world
population has plunged into an unprecedented depression.
All measures to help,
including huge wishful capital injections from sources like the USA, UNO, or IMF
(in socialist or liberal styles) have only deepened the problems.
Now the fear
is creeping in that America will ultimately be affected by this devastation.
Notwithstanding other evidence, one common factor in the above-mentioned
failures is that the economic activities of the countries involved were
nationalized, government controlled or state-supported to varying extents.
The
best-known case is the huge Japanese economy, where the government intrusion
with industry and banking were endemic.
Another common characteristic is the
widespread and heavy corruption of politicians and bureaucrats. None of those
countries had a true capitalistic/ democratic system with the freedom of
initiative and expression as exist in the USA. All shared intrusive government
controls and self-perpetuating bureaucracies that socialists and liberals have
in common.
Even a superficial analysis shows that America is surviving primarily
because of its basic opposition to bureaucratized economy and government ”help”.
In fact, America has so far avoided the global crisis because its conservative
leaders have defeated almost all the wishful government interventions Mr. and
Mrs. Clinton have desperately tried to push through, from socialized medicine to
the spawning of government “helps” that would only benefit the politicians,
controlling bureaucrats and politicized organizations.
Governmental blunders,
corruption and incompetent interventions that economists don’t know how to
correct caused the global financial crisis.
The merit Clinton and the leftist liberals claim for the present American
prosperity is as valid as the rooster’s belief that his dawn-crow made the sun
rise.
981204 A true believer nightmare
The 35-acre trapezoidal Jerusalem's
Temple Mount is the most precarious piece of land on Earth.
It is the Al Aqsa
Mosque and Dome of the Rock, Islam's holiest site after Mecca and Medina.
It is
also the place of the demolished Herod's Temple, which the Jews are determined
to rebuild, according to their prayer: "May it be Thy will that the Temple be
speedily rebuilt in our days..."
For literal-minded Protestants, the
reconstruction of the Temple is a precondition for Jesus' Second Coming...
Against the Jewish "irrevocable" decision, the Muslims "will defend the Islamic
holy places to the last drop of their blood"...
The Jews, on the other hand,
prudently allow the Muslims to administer the site and permit no Jew or
Christian prayer or other religious tasks on the disputed ground. The Israeli
Chief Rabbis prohibit Jews to enter the place, which was only entered by the
highest priest once a year.
Medieval sage Rashi asserted that the Temple could
only come directly from heaven, together with the Messiah. Israel's Ministry of
Religious Affairs sponsored all activities to study, plan and prepare the
reconstruction of the Temple, thus provoking the Muslim fury.
Numerous Jewish
Talmudic students are (1989) studying details of Temple service, and determining
who will conduct services in the Temple... Over 100 ritual objects, including
trumpets, lyres and lots, vestments "from flax spun by hand into sixty-stranded
threads" are being zealously prepared.
Priests will "purify their bodies with
the cremated ashes of an unblemished heifer before they enter the Temple".
Members of the Temple Institute are scouting Europe for "heifer embryos that
will be shortly implanted into cows at an Israeli cattle ranch"...
Money for
these projects will only come from Jews. Any other money will be rejected...
Historian David Solomon states: "Every day's delay is a stain on the Nation"...
One common god is worshipped by three monoteistic religions consumed by mutual
hateful intollerance.
They didn’t even learn the peaceful coexistence propensity
of many pagan religions.
Christian Romans killed far more pagans than pagan
Romans had killed Christians.
Please, God of the Jews/Christians/Moslems, would you harmonize our „true
believers“?
990114 Popularity made to overrule the law
The gullibility spell the
unrepentant Clinton and mass media have cast on the American public is
remarkable. ”Legally correct” polls insinuate that most people support a
twisted president with rubbery morality.
After being accused of perjury, he
unleashed the grotesque bombing of Iraq on Dec. 16, ’98, the day before his
scheduled impeachment hearing. Dec. 19, 1998 he stopped it, for 3 discernible
reasons beyond failure: it didn’t prevent his impeachment, he doesn’t have
enough missiles, and the cost is outrageous.
What sane commander-in-chief
preordains a “4-day-only” attack without military or strategic possibilities
other than strengthening the enemy’s resolve and ridiculing America? How many
billions does he squander, how many soldiers, ships and planes does he send to
nowhere to hit 1 flea with 3 bazookas and kill innocent bystanders?
This alone
could be reason for impeachment.
He has a weaseling explanation for his
spinning: “all is relative”.
How long before we recognize that Clinton is bent
on “deconstructing” our culture? If his “popularity” overrules the law
and the Constitution, why don’t we dismantle our courts and government in favor
of mob rule, as it happened with other famous demagogues?
Deceivers
would want to look just as handsome, charismatic and angelic as Clinton. What
else can explain the surrealistic democrat lockstep against impeachment?
They
officially denounce his moral turpitude, propose the most severe censure, and
then go straight to the White House to offer him their oiliness and servitude.
Their interests are hopelessly trapped in their fraudulent promotion that he
influenced the economy and has international statesmanship. If they succeed
against impeachment, every future president knows he can safely lie under oath,
spin weaseling morality pretzels, and use any room in the White House for
cathouse fornication.
The smug feeling of sophistication presumed in today’s
relativistic philosophy is a primary cause of general decay. With that, any
criticism can be dismissed with a contemptuous “you are entitled to your
opinion” or “everything is relative”. Clintonian weaselers are putting “However”
after each of the Ten Commandments, and menacing to mutate Washington (or USA?)
into an inmate-run asylum.
990211 Two party rule: the evil and the stupid
Over 100 potential witnesses to Clinton schemes ended in jail,
murder, suicide, fled abroad, invoked the 5th amendment, or were somehow
eliminated for deviating from the Clintonian lockstep.
“Filegate” reveals that
Clinton illegally got confidential files on notable non-Clintonians to blackmail
and/or silence Gingrich, Hyde, Livingston and countless others.
Many were
“filegated” into proposing that the unrepenting Clinton be forgiven and
immunized against future prosecution.
His State of the Union address culminated
in “mass distraction” and his proposal of federalizing the stock market through
Social Security.
Captive lawyers use junk jurisprudence to explain why no one is
above the law except Clinton.
They are the ones who can be “ethical” in
legalizing abominable conduct.
Clinton committed much worse sex “improprieties”
than senator Packwood and even increased his popularity, whereas Packwood was
politically executed. This is just as surrealistic as the House democrats’
opposition to impeaching Clinton because they had not cross-examined the
witnesses they had refused to see, or because his law-breaking is “not
impeachable”.
They insist we should not impeach Clinton because he is popular
with the voters. So were Genghis Khan, Hitler, Stalin and others while the
opinion tides supported them.
Our morality is now contaminated by
one-dimensional media who condone wrongdoing that the laws condemn. Even
churches are under pressure to approve abomination.
Clinton prevails by affinity
wherever “Princess Di” is more popular than Mother Teresa.
We have trapped
ourselves in a two-party monopoly: ” the evil and the stupid”.
Clinton’s
hijacking of the merit for our prosperity is like the claim that the cockroach
in the keel is steering the ocean liner.
What if ALL republicans vote for
impeaching Clinton and ALL democrats against? That is political prostitution
with sophisticated articulation of lucrative hypocrisy that scorns history,
culture and morality.
Evil politicians bamboozle gullible voters; and the
mediocre majority, which can be amoral in most societies, intimidates mediocre
politicians, who are the majority in most governments.
Sodom and Gomorrah’s inhabitants did not think, “I want to be evil and
depraved”. They scoffed at the happiness of demanding virtues and slouched into
the destructive addiction to easy pleasures.
990303 Can our parties be re-educated?
Posturing the unions, blacks, ultra-feminists, and homosexuals
against conservatism has become a political habit and a semantic trap.
It is
undeniable that blacks who succeed on their own are far better off than the
purely government protected, that man-hating gender feminists and
confrontational homosexuals have painted themselves into bleak corners, and that
employer-hating unions are losing contact with reality.
Beyond predicting the
disastrous results of affirmative action, conservatives advocate black progress
beyond simplistic “equality with the whites” whose maximum result would be
sterile imitation and servile gratitude to the whites.
Explaining why and how
conservatives promote women’s interests even more than the traditional
feminists, without the gender feminist hatred for man, family, and
heterosexuality would let true feminism regain its natural dignity. And
non-confrontational homosexuals can become socially, financially and politically
successful like anyone else. Unions cannot just preach class struggle against
the employers. Both unions and employers could certainly become cooperative and
mutually useful.
As long as the bargaining parties concentrate on common goals,
common necessity will prevail over the destructive class struggle. This is a
practical, psychological and emotional responsibility that employees and
employers understand better than most politicians.
The main project would be
reeducation of both parties. Honest goodwill can solve this problem.
The
republicans are doomed to lose as long as they are unable to formulate the
appropriate educational messages. Those messages must necessarily be detailed,
but the vast majority of Americans are TV watchers with a short attention span.
They want the short glib statements designed for the “general public”. That is
fortunate for the democrats, because long detailed explanations would expose
evidence against their self-defeating dogoodism.
The republicans know why the
democrats are wrong, but they cannot convey what they believe to be right. Like
the democrats, they only send us financial contribution forms and
one-dimensional questionnaires to fill with preordained answers to rhetoric
questions.
Both parties, don’t seem to trust the intelligence of contributing supporters,
although they claim the opposite.
Considering the required membership standards in today’s political
organizations, we could spin Groucho Marx’s comment: “I don’t want to be member
of a club that would accept me”.
990405 Clinton blunders in the Balkans
Tempting Armageddon, Clinton’s sophisticated primitivism can
deceive NATO/USA but he misses history’s lessons. His unconstitutional
self-glorifying war against a sovereign nation without US Congress authorization
and against international law, for “moral grounds”, spreads war in order to
“prevent spreading the war”.
His being an incurable deceiver, liar, and accused
rapist (someone may suggest euphemisms) adds nightmare to disaster.
Kosovo is a Serbian patriotic holy land where
the Serbians spilled their blood for several centuries to save Europe against
the attacking Islamism: a heroic tradition beyond life-and-death.
Without the instigation and weapons from anti-Christianity/anti-West Muslims and other foreigners, the Kosovo
ethnic Muslim Albanians would have continued their assimilation into Yugoslavia, which
is the best solution in the Balkans.
International law forbids intervention by
foreign countries. Without proper guidance, unsophisticated Kosovo Albanians can
only implement terrorism.
In every nation, terrorism by minority citizens can
only be handled with force. Especially in a multicultural approach, their
assimilation and converging evolution are the normal peaceful solution. That is
what resulted into the Western and most other cultures.
The Kosovo/Albanian
future lies in assimilation into a sister culture which has developed faster.
We
cannot embalm them in what they are now, as we try to do with the Native
Americans.
This tragically Clintonian war is only matched by Clinton’s
non-reaction to the massacres of millions of Tutsis, Hutus, Sudanese, Chinese
and many others who deserved help hundreds of times more urgently than the
Kosovo/Albanian Muslims.
He watched those atrocities with fully open eyes. The
explanation that such genocides did not menace the rest of the world would thus
make them acceptable.
They say that USA/NATO have nothing against the Orthodox-Christian Serbians.
Thus: we may kill Serbians as long as we have nothing against them.
Military
history shows how to defeat America: promote a leftist Trojan horse as American
president, let him neuter our military, demoralize and scatter them in
enormously expensive and futile deployments against world opinion, then hit USA
unexpectedly.
What did Clinton do for our military beyond forcing them into
accepting homosexuals, cutting armaments and wasting our soldiers worldwide?
Clinton is preparing to sacrifice American troops next. Only Clinton can overbalkanize
the Balkans.
990502 The Clinton touch
After “intervention” by Clinton, Haiti,
Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan and others sank and were abandoned in their worsened
misery.
Virtually all persons and countries involved in Clintonian initiatives
were fatally contaminated.
Whatever Clinton touches decays or perishes.
Only our
economy remained undamaged, because he was not allowed to influence it.
His
one-way war to Serbia “to preserve peace” and to “prevent spreading the killing
and war” is creating an expanded war and multiplying the killings.
Where was
Clinton when over 200,000 Serbs were being massacred in Bosnia and by
Iran-supported Kosovo Muslim Albanians?
Although his attacks on Serbia make no
political or military sense, they certainly work as convenient diversions from
his being accused of rape, just as his useless attacks on Iraq –still continuing
now- spelled diversion from his impeachment and strengthened Saddam Hussein.
Meanwhile,
Italy is shocked by a flood of crimes by immigrating Albanians. Many are in
jails, where they declare: “..We are better off in Italian prisons than anywhere
in Albania.” Albania stagnated for many centuries as the poorest, most
illiterate and anti-European Muslim country in Europe.
Their major pride is how much
they contributed to the Muslim Ottoman invasion against Serbia and Europe since six
centuries ago.
They embraced Islam, and became a dismembered body of discordant
communities, until they were colonized and culturally infected by communist
China and North Korea.
Now, deprived of their potential and reduced to fractious
terrorism, many Albanians are trying to find a future by fleeing to Italy and
Germany for a new way of life.
They are much worse than Milosevic, because
of their ruthless anti-Western and anti-Christian problems. The Senate unimpeachment of Clinton unleashed his
Balkan slaughter (again: anti-Western/anti-Christian).
He is now lobotomizing the American opinion about his
“unavoidable” sacrifice of “any number” of American youth and Serbian civilians.
Meanwhile, pro-Serbia Russians may manage to reenact their WW1 collapse and
their subsequent growth into USSR, after all enemies ignored them in 1917. How
would we react if, after their present collapse, they resurged by hitting our
major cities?
They could win because we cannot fight their disjointed confusion. Knowingly or
not, Clinton may be hatching the Russian-Siberian Armageddon egg.
990602 Clinton’s international slaughter
America is not Clintonland.
Clinton bombs Serbia to divert
attention from his Pornocchio image, and NATO tries to delay its own overdue
dissolution by fabricating a war pretext.
They fail, must massacre innocents “to
save our face” and brand “ethnic cleansing” a minor Serbian civil war.
Without
provocation, Clinton bombs a sovereign nation without declaring war, against the
international laws and the American Constitution.
Preventing the massacres is
his declared “humanitarian” purpose, but he kills many more, gets away with
calling the carnage “collateral damage”, and with claiming he has “nothing
against the Serbs”.
Then he declares Milosevic a “war criminal” for shooting
back Albanian Muslim terrorists (mortal enemies of Western-Christian civilization).
He sublimes his alleged rape of Juanita Broaddrick
into deliberately raping a sovereign nation, which is not even an enemy.
Clinton, the peacenik, campaigned in Europe against America’s violence in
Vietnam, and now is an unstoppable slayer of defenseless victims by bombers
hitting from a cowardly (“safe”) distance.
By proclaiming Serbian crimes without
confirmation by any international court or any other non-propaganda source, he
is creating more enemies and degrading America’s moral stature in the
unchangeable annals of history.
All this is happening because the Senate refused
to impeach him.
If we accept Clinton’s international slaughter, we become a
mindless herd of accomplices sinking into anti-Western culture barbarism.
This is America, not Clintonia.
Clinton, his subservient military/diplomatic bureaucrats and NATO
pompous puppets are degrading the historical mission of America.
Rejecting him
and killing his war may be our only way out of national disgrace.
If Clinton had
helped Albania build the necessary organization to absorb the Kosovo refugees,
instead of bombing Serbia into destruction, he would have brought primitive
Albania and Muslim Kosovan Albanians into civilization, conquered Yugoslavia’s undying
gratitude, saved countless lives and motivated Russia’s cooperation against
China. Clinton’s shallowness cannot conceive a solution for both contenders.
His one-dimensional mind can only produce a destructive lust for video-game
victories against non-opponents carefully chosen among those who don’t have a
chance to defend themselves.
He is even planning the disastrous financing and
training of ragtag Muslim “Kosovo Liberation Army” terrorists against Serbia.
The Clinton syndrome has desensitized voters to the point that they cannot feel
the unspeakable outrage of being tricked into supporting an international
murder-suicide.
990702 Kosovo: a historical hoax
Clinton’s wickedness induced
Congress to impeach him, and reelection strategy caused the Senate to unimpeach
and unleash him as an operetta Genghis Khan against Serbia, virtually at the
service of the most primitive, anti-Christian, anti-West ethnic terrorists in
Europe.
That immunized Serbia, Russia and potentially Albania against America.
Serbia, Kosovo and NATO are three more Clinton-curse targets after Haiti,
Somalia, Irak, , Bosnia, Whitewatergate, Chinagate, other Xgates and other
tragic blunders.
Like before, he and his followers celebrate the apotheosis of
his macabre victory, followed by the carefully glossed-over reality that he
brought by far much more death and destruction than Milosevic.
Now, he is
frantically manufacturing and distorting evidence of Milosevic crimes.
A
statesman should have enabled Albania to host the Kosovar refugees, earned
Albanian, Serbian and Russian gratitude, and promoted Balkan harmony.
He
added the Napoleonic delusion of conducting “the first moral war in history”
with the moral stature of a prostitute who claims virginity.
History will also
show that Serbian/Kosovar civil war casualties were neither “genocide” nor
“holocausts”.
“Saving NATO’s existence”, like reviving a zombie, is
inducing the European Union to replace the anti-Russia NATO with a European
military organization without America.
Opposing the raids and terrorism of the KLA and their Albanian and Iranian instigators
(also mortal Musllim enemies of Western-Christian civilization) was necessary, even if the
opposition was directed by an alleged “criminal” like Milosevic (3-times
democratically elected).
To fight Hitler, Roosevelt had to ally America with Stalin,
who was even worse than Hitler.
Compared to them, Milosevic is a minor pussycat.
Milosevic surrendered to protect his people against someone (Clinton) like a loathsome
terrorist or kidnapper who keeps killing hostages until he gets what he wants.
Like a hostage-killing terrorist, Clinton crows that none of his men died, but
for each American survivor he killed countless innocent non-enemy victims, as if
they were insects.
Now, let’s watch compassionate Clinton and his NATO lapdogs
forcing the return of bloodthirsty anti-Western-anti-Christian culture Kosovars to their non-homes:
like
re-injecting AIDS into a victim because a non-approved physician had cured it.
The extra-careful wording and the $5-million reward to buy evidence against
Milosevic specifically (not against a true culprit, but against a
still-to-be-proven-guilty Milosevic) may be covering a monstrous historical
hoax.
990805 U.S. medicine Trojan-horses socialized medicine
I was unexpectedly railroaded into open-heart surgery,
although I was jogging 3.5 miles daily and felt greatest. After surgery,
evidence popped that my previous chest pain was only from a healing broken rib.
Coincidental pettiness happened after changing doctors.
A receptionist rejected
me because I refused to describe my symptoms loudly with a crowd waiting behind
me.
A clerk’s refusal to schedule urgent help made me cancel a business trip to
Holland.
I’m not allowed to talk with a physician to request references or his background
previous to our first appointment. Paramedics choose a doctor for me, despite my
protests. My protests are ignored.
I go to the appointment, and busy assembly people process me. Someone comes with
impatient clipped questions, but he is the wrong doctor. I get peremptory
written instructions and sign papers with sneaky small print that I cannot read
in the allotted time.
Medics and paramedics sign nothing.
I am refused service unless I publicly reveal my birth date, insurance card,
driver license, social security, and whatever no-nonsense clerks fancy, even
when I go to a hospital-owned shop to get an earplug for swimming, in spite of
my cash payment.
I go for a test and my records falsely show that I have high blood pressure and
a never tested allergy.
Other doctors found that I was allergic to wheat (wrong) and milk (never
tested).
Other doctors, who also judged my heart surgery unnecessary, found no allergies.
Monopolized medical business snatches many hapless doctors and subtly
intimidates the competent physicians majority, who “don’t want to have any
trouble”.
They become unwitting Trojan horses of socialized medicine devastation.
Hillary Clinton glorifies European nationalized medicine, but not the drama of a
superbly competent executive lady I had hired to work foe me in London, who
couldn’t come to America, because she was dying of cervical cancer, which her
socialized medical system had diagnosed in time but scheduled for surgery too
late.
Receptionists, medical aids, lab technicians, paralegals, bookkeepers,
bureaucrats and/or their aids make determining decisions that only a
doctor-patient encounter should make.
They explain how they have good reasons.
Nothing is worse than arbitrary wrongs done for “good reasons”.
990903 "Abortion: Destroyer of peace"
Abort abortion Headline, 9 Aug. 1999: “Crime drop linked to
abortion”.
Just as brilliant as: “Headaches drop linked to decapitation”.
Did it
mean: legalizing abortions decriminalizes them? Nope.
“Legalized Abortion and
Crime” (by Steven Levitt and John Donohue) explains: “..Many women whose
children would have been most likely to commit crimes as young adults instead
chose to abort their pregnancies”.
That means that the most immature, ignorant
and uneducated wantonly pronounce and execute death sentences. However, many
non-aborted children of such women became famous scientists, philosophers,
artists and geniuses in many fields.
Even Hitler’s mother should not have
aborted, because little Adolf could have become a harmless citizen if he had
found clever sponsors and sufficient rewards for keeping quiet.
On the other
hand, some monstrous criminals born of wealthy loving parents may tempt
abortionists to abort entire generations.
We could also legislate
super-Holocaust abortions as a patriotic duty, if the outlook for next
generation’s welfare looks bleak. Besides, too many cases are not so simple.
Pundit Hillary Clinton reveals that having a mother and grandmother hate each
other could promote boundless promiscuity and mouth-to-genitals for the
male offspring.
Since my mother and grandmother were mutually sympathetic, I
wonder what made my life so exciting.
On Feb. 4, 1994, on a prayer breakfast in
Washington, DC, with Bill/Hillary Clinton sitting behind her, Mother Teresa
emphasized publicly:
“… The greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion,
because it is a war against the child – murder by the mother herself. And if we
accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people
not to kill one another?”
Hillary’s all-out campaign for unconditional
government support of abortion is well known.
On June 22, 1999 the socialist
government of Moslem Albania incongruously presented Hillary Clinton with the
Catholic “Mother Teresa Award” in Skopje, Macedonia, “…in the spirit of the
victory of mankind over inhuman action”.
The Catholic League for Religious and
Civil Rights commented: “If Hillary Clinton were a decent woman, she would not
accept this award”.
If still alive, Albanian-born Catholic Mother Teresa would
have certainly agreed.
991010 Education or bigotry
Our organizations to fight racism beat dead horses and
generate self-feeding hostilities.
America has fewer prejudices than most other
countries.
What is left is the residual lunacy that only apolitical EDUCATION
can correct.
Furthermore, we should praise America for having fought the
greatest war against racism, in which about one white man died for every 3
blacks living then in America.
No other nation did so much against slavery.
Recognition coming from such awareness promotes many times more mutual
understanding than resentful civil right crusades.
Handling innate racism with
just “bad dog!” admonitions assures trouble perpetuation.
Racism has
become the paralyzed dragon that cannot distress the damsel who doesn’t need the
knight who craves the reward for saving her.
True, the paralyzed dragon is still
a nuisance, but not as bad as the prejudices against me as a foreigner in other
countries, or against my moving to USA from South America (5 year waiting in
1955 because I was Italian, against 1 month for my German wife), or in USA
itself for employment (“no Negroes, Catholics, Hispanics or Italians”, and
“Chemist? But aren’t you Italian?”), and when I started to learn English at age
31.
I refused well-intentioned help to move into an Italian or German
neighborhood, because I wanted acculturation, not ethnic isolation.
I became
chemical research director and then started a hi-tech business, simply because I
worry more about protected alienation than about failure.
The main protection
victims are now the blacks.
Is “black” so bad that they have to be repainted as
“African American”?
Why are they told that Cleopatra was black, Aristotle stole
his philosophy from the Alexandria Library (built after his death), that
Timbuktu was a world center of books before the printing press was invented? To
make them resent, be resented, and look stupid?
They are offered help that would
only establish cultural handicaps.
The troublemakers are those, white and black,
who profit from black troubles.
All that blacks need is to cultivate knowledge and
skills.
Only self-destructive racists refuse knowledgeable and skillful
coworkers.
Who, black or white, would work with racists anyhow?
991106 Slouching into recycled socialism
Our government and the telephone companies are sliding into
symbiotic coexistence.
Calling a government agency means being pinball tossed
among answering machines.
The taxpayer wastes high telephone bills. Who gains?
The telephone company, who owes it to the government, who is indebted to the
telephone company.
They reinforce each other in an undeclared collusion, which
marginalizes the individual.
This government/big-organizations symbiosis is growing all around us, and we
keep voting a government that legislates paradoxical protection of citizen
groups against the citizen.
Example: I brought a car to a large dealership service dept. for a checkup
previous to a trip. They charged me about $1900 for repairs.
The trip was a
disaster because the most critical repairs had been paid and not done.
I was
almost killed, stalled in the middle of a speedway in a curve.
Says the car-mall
service manager: "Our service is unionized and we have to accept what they say
and charge you. There is nothing we can do".
Thus, some union/employer collusions share the interest in defrauding the
customer.
Sending and charging several high-wage men-hours for one-man-1-hour
jobs become normal.
That is: government/big-employers/organized-employees
together exploit the citizenry in a recycled socialism, manipulated in
capitalistic fashion.
Groveling media cooperate by describing the exploited and
exploiters to justify and promote progressive tightening of government controls.
Even little entrepreneurs like plumbers, electricians and others are lured into
similar deceptive conspiracies, but they and the unions end irreversibly
straight jacketed in nationwide regulations.
Even organized physicians are manipulated into forming unions that will
eventually converge physicians and HMOs into a bureaucratized medical despotism
over patients.
Medicine bureaucratization is already being rehearsed with
methodology typical of socialistic systems.
The captive doctors are baited into anti-patient protection and the patients are
intimidated and domesticated.
A doctor who has a dispute with his organization
is deprived of his patients who, like cattle, have nothing to say (even if the
appearances are carefully staged to show the opposite).
The taxpayer, the customer (or "client"), the citizen, the "working
men-and-women" are one-by-one used and bled dry to be gradually homogenized into
the "new world".
Going to court?. It is our right, but lawyer fees make sure that winning costs us more
than losing...
Have we not learned enough from the Soviet nightmare?
991205 Family is always central
In the TV show “Touched by an angel”,
a feminist angel states: “Family is a democracy”.
Democratizing the family
degenerates it.
Democracy is electoral, whereas family is a patriarchal or
matriarchal hierarchy.
In democracy, voters pre-exist and elect their leaders.
Family is the indivisible nucleus of reproductive life and civilization, in
which parents generate and raise their children.
Children electing their parents
is as absurd as a consequence choosing or erasing its only cause.
Another
apparently wise exhortation, “respect your father(mother) because he(she) is
right” is slyly anti-family. The rule has been for millennia: “Respect your
father(mother), because he(she) is your parent”, regardless of whether he is
right.
“Because he(she) is right” confuses the parent with anybody.
Unquestioning obedience to the parents builds character, trains children to face
social realities and to become parents.
The authority to resolve irreconcilable
differences then must return to the head of the family, whose concern and love
reaches much further than judges and bureaucrats can.
The objection that some
parents are unworthy is an anti-family rationalization.
Unworthy parents are
mostly conflicting narcissistic misfits who cannot characterize a family.
Democracy may heed the Machiavellian practical exhortation “Men ought not to do
as they ought to do but ought to do as they do do”, whereas family can be
inspired by healthy ideals to strive toward a “perfection” we may continuously approach
and never achieve. What else do we think evolution is or ought to be?
Democratized “role models” are poor substitutes which are
debunked when their personifications fail or are surpassed.
The family, more
than a safety haven, is an evolution nucleus to nurture and do “as they ought to
do”, also if the parents cannot do what they expect from their children.
Even a
prostitute can motivate her daughter into chastity, just as some paralyzed coach
can train an athletic team. Laws to control interaction between father, mother
and child mostly tend to hollow the family’s essence and fatten vultures who
gain from family dissolution.
Since anti-family and pro-abortion activists are politically more feared than
pro-family and pro-life citizens, government measures “to protect the family”
degenerate family and mankind in facilitating divorce, abortion and one-parent
“families”.
20000105 Yesterday’s fantasy is today’s reality
WHERETO FROM HERE?
Enter a public place naked in 1980 and you
are arrested, but not in 2000, unless you are smoking at the same time. Tell an
ethnic or black joke, and you may end in jail or jobless for life.
Yet it is OK
to ridicule any church, immerse a Crucifix in urine, or paint the Virgin Mary
surrounded by elephant excrement and rotted sex organs.
About two thirds of the blacks
and about 20% of the whites are born by unmarried women.
Furthermore, we may
shack up and murder any child while he is being born.
Years ago, a homosexual
would confess his problem to a minister and seek help. Today, the homosexual
himself may be the performing minister.
Crucifixes and prayers are forbidden in
public places, yet “in God we trust” is on our dollar bills.
“Progressive”
judges pervert the constitution through arbitrary unconstitutional decisions.
Our public schools are the anticultural fraud of the century, designed to
morally and culturally lobotomize defenseless children with ”self esteem” and
politically corrupted indoctrination, and muzzle the competent teachers in favor
of compact voting teacher unions, politicians and bureaucrats.
Too often, no proof is
necessary to convict a man of rape or child molestation.
Lives of innocent men
have been irreversibly ruined with fabricated quack “recovered-memory”
accusations by women and toddlers.
The IRS and police may arrest people and
sequester properties without due process.
Postmodern feminism fights against
males and heterosexual family, and for using males only as sperm donors.
One
generation ago Nelson Rockefeller lost the presidential candidacy because he had
been divorced.
In 1999, Clinton used the White House as a third rate cathouse to
commit multiple adulteries and depraved debauchery with interns and other
victims.
He was constitutionally impeached by the House, unconstitutionally unimpeached by the
Senate, and declared in contempt by a federal court.
Upon being accused of rape,
he scurried into a criminal undeclared war that killed countless thousands of
innocent civilians and multiplied the number of “genocide murders” his war was
supposed to prevent.
Not many years ago, the above would have been psychopathic
fantasy.
Now, the year 2000 has to cope with the Clintonian legacy.
20000208 What will the ‘100th monkey’ do?
THE 100th MONKEY BUSINESS.
In 1952, zoologists observed Macaca
Fuscata monkeys risk starvation in the island of Koshima, Japan, because they
couldn’t clean the dirt off sweet potatoes or fruits they found on the ground.
Some monkeys were taught by zoologists to wash them in creeks and ponds. That helped them, but
too slowly to influence the others, until all monkeys, close-by and distant,
almost suddenly knew how to wash the potatoes in 1958, because the number of the
learning monkeys had grown enough to motivate all the others.
The hypothetical
monkey that completed the number to make the difference was conventionally
called “the 100th monkey”.
Many people ridicule or persecute a man who insists
with warnings or exhortations about a particular danger. Mostly, they will heed him only when he is the
“100th monkey”.
Many who persist in exposing unpleasant matters like our public
schooling system, or our decaying morals, may end up demonized like senator Joe
McCarthy.
He was not preceded by the symbolic 99 that would make him the
convincing 100th monkey. His defects and blunders doomed him to failure anyhow,
and the monkeys were on the other side, but armed with the “ad hominem”
accusations typical of lynch mobs and other fanatics.
For instance, some
leftists would now accuse me of defending McCarthy because I condemn their
bigotry. The same obtusity as branding a conservative as “homophobic/
sexist/racist/Euro-male/anti-abortionist/Judeo-Christian”. In 1997, a group of
scholars published in France “The livre noir du communisme » (“The black book of
communism”), with undisputable documentation of how over 80-100 million people
had been murdered since 1917 for resisting communism. I was in Paris and
experienced knee-jerk overreaction by local leftists against the book. Later, I
saw only a German and an Italian translation of that book, until Harvard
University Press published the English version only last November (1999). Will
it have similar postmodernist leftists detractors like those I met in France?
Someone said, “Not even God can change the past”. Postmodernists are trying to
do precisely that.
It might depend on which side the 100th monkey will take. Merely for completing
the number after the 99th, or for the morality and justice of his stand?
20000307 Historic events: the genes of culture
Postmodernist “anti-cultural education” is based on the
dogmatic and unscientific assumption that children are cultural aliens to
their parents. The parents who raise them are “intrusive, oppressive”, if not
directed by “professionals” (that is, psychologic pedagogy technicians, social
workers and bureaucrats).
Furthermore, children should be free to develop their
own culture, removed from the “oppressive parental guidance”.
Anticulturalist
educators preach that, rather than knowledge of any subject, children only need
the freedom to find out by themselves anything they want, without guidance.
Accordingly, no one needs to introduce them to quantum physics, thermodynamics or
existential epistemology.
The present result is that those who are raised with anticultural education, as above recommended, cannot even attempt to teach their
own children, because their education deprived them of the ability to return to
content-based education, or to teach teachers the subjects to teach.
Those who
don’t know history state self-assuredly that “ we don’t need history”.
Ignoring history is to culture the same as ignoring a person’s genes. The events
of history are like the genes of culture.
Anticultural specialists are
sophisticated primitives with refined articulation of dismally primitive notions
of the culture they should have learned in traditional education.
Unavoidably, they must
invent the history that supports their political goals, since their theories are
based only on opinions dressed as evidence.
As self-made experts, they know how
to raise their children without ”traditional teaching”.
Then, what if other
parents are experts too?
As a scientist and businessman, should I let
psychologists and bureaucrats guide my children about a science and/or business
activity?
For our survival and evolution, neither psychologists, nor teachers or
bureaucrats should interfere with parents and family.
In a parent-teacher
conference, two teachers told me in the presence of my little boy that he must
feel crushed by the notion that I have learned 8 languages: “How can he compete
with you?”
This assumed as self-evident that children and parents are mutually
hostile, and that the family oppresses children.
Fortunately, my boy snickered
amused: “Why, do you mean I would love my dad more if he were dumber?”
There is one convincing clue in favor of cultural and family continuity.
000405 Pandering to homosexuals
The claim that genes cause homosexuality is puzzling,
considering that such a heritage can only come from heterosexual reproduction.
Since true homosexuals don’t reproduce as such –or do it in much less than 0.1%
of the general population-, their number should have been thinning down to a
virtually infinitesimal percentage worldwide, since humanity started. There goes
the genital genesis.
Besides, recognizing “gay rights” on genetic basis (which, by
the way, implicitly concedes that homosexuality is at best an incurable
misfortune, not a "normality") would induce protection and even promotion of any kind of
psychological or emotional abnormalities and deviations.
Glib hate-mongers
already label normal people “homophobes” or “heterosexuals”, with
sanctimoniously political or counterfeit clinical priggishness.
Homosexuality,
gender and race panders will inevitably end up with both feet in their mouths,
plus a third foot to boot.
Society should have never been overexcited about
homosexuality. When it was considered like any deviation to be corrected, it was
not as bad as surrendering to it and giving it rights and an unenforceable
“normality” that would make the “others” afraid and irreversibly hostile.
Now gay activists are even demanding interstate and international legal
recognition of gay “marriages” and whatever they can add to that oxymoronic
status.
Revealingly, evidence that true homosexuals are less than 1% of mankind
frightens them.
We should learn from the cynical harm we are doing to the blacks
by distorting history to grant them unnecessary phony attributes like a black
Cleopatra, Timbuktu book world center, philosophy stolen by Aristotle from the
Alexandria library, invented historic cultural achievements they didn’t need…
The same we did to the Amerindians with impossible attributes of ecological
wisdom, democracy, grotesque godlike “gravitas”, and woman/man equality that
were the exact opposite of the truth.
The recent discovery in Illinois of
pre-Colombian scalped skulls, for instance, disproved definitely the lie that
the whites introduced scalping.
Unscrupulous panderers promote such incompetent
lies that worsen the reputation of the gays, blacks and Amerindians after
getting their votes.
Unfortunately, many politicians and knowledgeable persons abhor speaking up,
because they “want no troubles”. The subject is controversial, but timidity here
is more ominous than controversy.
000502 “Not even gods can change history”
Deconstructing history .
According to the Census Bureau, a
typical household is no longer a family.
It is composed of “person 1”, “person
2”, “person 3” etc.
The poetic “I am yours and you are mine. What could be more
beautiful?” becomes: “Person 1 relates to person 2 and person 2 relates to
person 1, with confluence into interfacing modulation”. Don’t add any
qualifications, otherwise the bureaucratized enforcers cannot manipulate their
“scales of compensating corrections”.
Attempts to covertly institutionalize the
extinction of the family (Clintonized: “It depends on what ‘family’ means”) are
glossed over with a “mild amusement” about the outrage.
Consequently, we have a
muddled rebellion as a hopefully cleansing reaction of the hapless people
who miss the honest fire and brimstone of the prophets and Homeric heroes,
without counting the vague desperation of a vanishing religious faith.
We
trivialize poems, ideals, legends, Sophocles, Shakespeare, the American dream.
Add the fetish of separation of church and state with “in God we trust” on the
dollar bills and the outlawing of the Commandments in public buildings.
As a
youngster, in WWII Italy, I experienced the derisive amusement by the
“sophisticated” about the “over-excitement” of my uncle who warned a Jewish
friend not to return to Nazi Germany, lest he would perish. A smug lady
pontificated: “Jewish Mendelssohn wouldn’t have become an immortal German
composer if he had listened to alarmists like you”. Our friend returned to
Germany and perished.
The postmodernists rely on the obtusity of the jaded who
yawn with bored sophistication about the apprehensions of those who understand
the writing on the wall.
How many know of creeping “postmodernism”, “anticulturalism”,
“antiWestern culture” and politically-correct religionism? What is going to
happen to our disoriented children with their crotch-extending guitars and TV
virtual culture?
A communist China official proclaimed superciliously on TV:
“American culture comprises only 250 years, against 5000 years of China”. But
Red China is today only 51 years old after jettisoning 2500 years of Confucianism,
Taoism and concurring progress.
America comprises about 3000 years of vibrant
Western multicultural evolution.
Not even gods can change a history that cannot be reneged.
000604 De Sade’s Unheeded Metaphors
Camille Paglia, one of today’s
most brilliant authors, defines Sade “the most unread major writer in Western
literature”. Just as Machiavelli (1469-1527) described the realities of
political power struggles, the marquis de Sade (1740-1814) described man’s
return to his primordial nature as an unrestrained unleashing of violence and
lust.
That reflects millennia of worldwide convictions that man is the
confluence of culture and nature (=good/evil, or the 2400-year old Chinese
Yin/Yang), mostly in precarious/constant coexistence.
Religious and cultural metaphors
like “original sin”, “Pandora’s box” were spectacularly successful.
Freud has
been recently debunked, but he served the same purpose superbly.
Sade’s
writings are so ruthlessly realistic, that many people cannot stand reading them
and brand his descriptions as “sadism”, or pathologic enjoyment in inflicting
suffering.
The opposite voice was Locke’s and Rousseau’s flattering
interpretation of human nature, but it was disproved in the French Revolution
and most wars.
The dark side of human nature goes from cruelty to the Holocaust
and other atrocities, culminating with the 80 (documented) to 120 (likely)
million murdered victims of socialism.
The Bible itself details incredible
holocausts perpetrated by many cultures, Jews included.
Soren Kierkgegaard
(1813-1855) said man is frightened by “harmless death”, but not by “truly
horrifying things like sin and ignorance”.
Mistrusting ideologues profess to
elect Rousseau’s vision of an evil-free human nature. Yet they eschew
confrontation with the dark side of life, which demands the self-discipline
politicians are afraid to recommend. Religions expose the unending human
struggle between good and evil.
Demagogues claim compassion for the citizens,
but addict them to mistrusting government “help”.
They issue suffocating rules
and regulations rather than information they fear the populace will misuse.
Our
government imposes equal results rather than equal opportunities, freedom from
religion against religious freedom, bellicose rights rather than cooperating
duties.
Thousands of live tortured and massacred victims still match each of
Sade’s fictional tortures.
Clinton’s cowardly massacres of thousands of innocent
Serbian civilians are still being overlooked, as well as Sade’s warning
metaphors of those atrocities.
Sade ended in jail for what he wrote.
Clinton enjoys opportunistic groupies, praises for his deeds, , and we are still
told we’re “flogging dead horses”.
000706 The Ominous Verdict
The abortion decision degrades the family.
The Supreme Court decision pro-partial-birth abortion is a gruesome victory of
pleasure against happiness.
It may last one or 1000 years, but it is temporary,
just like pleasure, its hidden motivation.
Pleasure motivates the marriages
style Hollywood or “beautiful people”, which may last little more than weeks or
months, because of their skin-deep inspiration. The ultra-feminists frenzy it.
The point ultra-feminists miss is that woman’s preference for sexual restraint is a
natural capacity to be the provider of happiness, which is the principal
motivation of civilized progress and culture.
Pleasure happens without virtue, whereas virtue and happiness tend to converge
synergistically.
The Supreme Court decision proves that evolution can also go downward, as it did
with Sodom and Gomorrah, if only temporarily.
Apparently, we renounce the
aspiration to virtue when we are not virtuous ourselves, and decide in
politically-correct style, that what we are is what should be.
Really, not even
the maligned Machiavelli advocated such destructive self-esteem.
The natural
tendency of the male to physical pleasure was only a primordial selective
motivation to be counterbalanced and civilized by the female reproductive and
defensive physiology.
In fact, women felt degraded if they yielded to the
self-extinguishing pleasure impulse.
Woman’s traditional pre-intercourse question “Will your still love me
afterward?” was, and still is, a form of instinctive fear of woman's self
degradation.
The present sexual “liberation” is primarily a surrender to the
dark side of male eroticism, unintentionally aided by man-hating gender
feminism, which blunders into disastrous anti-woman results, like male
desertion, single-parent no-family, marriage with bellicose rights without
mutual devotion.
The child, then, the sublime coronation of womanhood, becomes
just a hindrance to woman-using pleasure and feminazi man-hatred.
Which of us or of the judges would have liked to be aborted, cut to pieces or
have a hole drilled in the scull to have the brains sucked out while alive?
By judging a living fetus like a malignant tumor, the Supreme Court has
infamously degraded family, man and woman to the lowest level.
000804 The equality fraud
Marching toward socialized equality.
The failure of Marxism and “liberal”
democracies lurks in their ultimate developments (planned or unintended).
Result-equality, Socialist and liberal inertial pursuits, are achieved at the
expense of freedom, progress, justice and individuality.
That inevitably breeds
the suffocating despotism necessary to force us into politically prescribed
happiness.
The bait demagogues use to capture gullible voters is the “social
justice” of raising the life standard of the “disadvantaged”.
Even if achieved,
that merely creates a higher bottom level at which people can feel unhappy from
comparison with the more successful.
Most American “socially deprived” of today
enjoy amenities like clothing, food, medicines, medical care, transportation,
communication, television, computers, police protection and other advantages in
a measure not even kings could enjoy in a not too distant past.
They feel they are
“disadvantaged” primarily because others have more.
Since there will always be
people at the designated bottom level "du jour" , no matter how high, there will always be
demagoguery proclaiming that they are entitled to whatever others have more of.
That posture induces the disadvantaged to demand “entitled” handouts rather than
work at self-improvement, thus increasing their dependence, number and votes.
We
kill equality as soon as we build, produce or invent anything, conserve
something, or start a family.
Even “equal opportunity” ultimately cuts or
stretches us all to the same size on the Greek legend’s Procrustean bed. Our
judgment of human rights is perverted by our ignorance of historical facts.
Defining “poverty” whatever lies below an arbitrary life standard contaminates
politics with cynicism.
Without competent knowledge of history, we fail to see
that the march toward socialized equality has been a continuous yo-yoing between
tormented discontent and despotically enforced “justice”.
This self-destructing
“social justice” approach has happened countless times in the past, similarly to
today’s post-modernism.
The pursuit of happiness can only be realized with
self-disciplined individual progress, and is lost when we dwell on presumption
with narcissistic “self esteem”. This delusionary vision of equal happiness for
all homogenizes us in bigheaded mediocrity.
Most of the judgmental socialist
postures in any community are the pernicious flatulence coming from the lower
levels of the political body.
000912
Gore the savior
Taxing the rich beyond death.
Al Gore gave a frightening Orwellian message at the national democratic
convention, 17 Aug. 2000 in L.A. He promised virtually anything we might desire,
to the point that no one needs any effort to deserve anything.
No more deprived
people.
...Only saturated zombies.
“Gore deserved it for us” sounds theological.
The government will provide medicines, clothing, dwellings, food, work and
whatever they feel urgency for.
Anything the government wishes can be decreed urgent.
More policemen will be
employed to punish crime.
The constantly wallpapered trouble is that anything politically incorrect or not
according to “law” may be criminalized.
Activities of all kinds will be
instituted, while appropriate officials will provide instructions and enforcing
power.
Dwellings will be built for homeless people, provided with overseeing
bureaucrats.
Activities will be organized to keep and control youths off the
streets.
Public schools will be built, repaired, filled with organized
officials, administrators.
Unionized teachers will instruct new teachers.
Classes will be made smaller to hire more unionized teachers and additional
unionized teachers for special education. Only the rich will be taxed to help
the “working people”. Employers, of course, are not... working people.
Mysteriously, they make money without working.
They can be taxed beyond death.
Suppose that some “working people” wish to become employers or to develop,
achieve or build something.
Even if they work much more, they are no longer
“working people”.
Statistically, 80-90% of them will bankrupt within 5-6 or 8 years, after paying more
taxes than any “working man & woman”.
Forget and ignore them, for their votes
are politically forgettable.
Bureaucrats wasting billions in blundering government projects get more billions
for adding more blundering as a remedy.
Conservatives object strenuously and are
therefore accused of cruel selfishness.
Let’s ask academically: What if we
selflessly kill innocent people before they can commit any sin, so that they
unfailingly go to Heaven? Then we’d selflessly go to hell for murder.
Is then deserving Heaven a selfish goal? Thus, may conservatives deserve Heaven
by doing “selfish” productive, constructive, beneficial deeds, against their
imagined passion of depriving poor children of school lunch and elderly retirees
of life saving medicines?
001007 Hell's road paved with good intentions”
Politicized Economy & Morals.
The best intentions pave hell’s
paths. Taxpayers’ money is wasted to finance ("upgrade") slums and incompetent vote-getting
projects.
Countless politically-correct and/or dishonestly administered programs
must be refinanced ad infinitum to compound disastrous failures with unending
social consequences (our public education crisis, welfare quagmires, helps to
needy nations pocketed by local politicians, massacres of thousands of innocents
abroad to wallpaper Clinton’s sexual and ethical debauchery).
The bottomless pits that devour our taxes and blood are atrociously numerous and
carefully hidden.
Even the elemental tax situation
contains remarkable quirks.
Politicians and bureaucrats discover they would
profit most by concentrating the money in just a few highly taxable
multibillionaires, and expanding the tax-exempt poverty to the maximum possible
number of exploitable poor.
Then, the powerful become the government and its
apparatchiks, as in communist societies.
The voters won’t notice it until too late.
Meanwhile, Goebbels’ Nazi method that brazenly repeated lies become
popular beliefs is used to assert that: the Democrats brought the wealth created
by the computer cybernetic revolution, although they had nothing to do with it,
Partisanship permeates even intelligent people with the
nonsense that Republicans oppose welfare, medical help, social justice and even
school lunch for poor children...
Leftist voters (who want to become rich) believe that the rich are criminally greedy, but no
legislated initiative produces as much progressive wealth as free individual
initiatives toward becoming rich.
Even the “idle rich” invest their money more
usefully than the government, because they mainly purchase what is useful to
them and their allies.
Even “wasteful” expenses like the Pyramids, the Taj
Mahal, the Eiffel Tower and many enduring extravaganzas produce still now
thousands of times more than their original expenses, to the benefit of workers,
tourism, and entire local communities.
That mostly gives the poor access to
growth and prosperity.
If those expenses had been politically used to “feed the
poor and hungry”, they would have been swallowed into self-perpetuating
excreted metabolic waste.
Like government jobs for jobs sake, they would only produce
gullible votes and irreversible dependency from an intrusive government.
The
decay of Sodom/Gomorrah-type societies began in their narcissistic wealth
pinnacles with mantras like “it’s-the-economy,-stupid”.
Mental/moral deviants
swagger with a theatrical “mildly (or wildly) amused” contempt for the “prophecy
of disaster” while they themselves are the decay components.
001101 Advance Good Riddance Obituary
Clinton’s valedictorian at the
year 2000 Los Angeles Democratic national convention was a narcissistic exorcism
of his looming obituary, with the charming eloquence that fascinated his
groupies.
Historic analysis will show how Clinton poached the merit for our
present prosperity from the cybernetic computer revolution, which no politicians
could have provided or opposed.
Reagan’s military spending, which defeated the Soviet
Union, and subsequent cutting (from 5.2% to 3% of GDP) after Reagan’s victory,
plus the gigantic cybernetic revolution, prompted Clinton’s fraudulent crowing
that the Democrats went “from the largest deficits… to the largest surpluses in
history”.
Moreover, the Republicans prevented Clinton’s socialized medicine’s
squandering of over 14% of our GDP, plus Clinton’s taxation (“investment”)
proposals that the great Democrat Senator Moynihan, called
“the largest tax
increase in the history of public finance”.
Furthermore, the 33 million
uninsured Americans when Clinton presidency started, became 44 million under his
administration.
Clinton’s foreign policies were pathetic disasters, beside
slaughtering thousands of innocents in an unprecedented bombing to divert
attention from his crotch extravagances.
His foreign interventions caused deadly
destruction everywhere.
His devastation of Haiti, Somalia, Serbia, Balkans,
lethal MiddleEast blunders, etc. are weird historical milestones. His reserve
fuel release worsened prices and depleted reserves.
His military neglect
deprived the Navy of supply ships and encouraged the appalling bombing of the
$1-billion destroyer Cole by a rag-tag rubber boat in plain sight in a hostile
Yemen re-fueling port. A Norvegian firm had to be hired to ungloriously
transport the huge wreck from Yemen to Virginia.
Military unpreparedness?
Clintonesque Pax Americana?
Clinton also claim jumps the successful Republican
initiatives in the House and Senate in the second half of his administration,
such as welfare reform over his opposition.
Meanwhile, Judicial Watch is
resuming the “Filegate” investigation about criminally obtained files on all
politicians Clinton planned to blackmail.
That could explain the surrealistic
decision of the Senate to un-impeach him, plus the recent “insufficient
evidence” finding by prosecutor Gray.
Who impeaches Clinton now? Certainly not
Gore, his sophomoric sidekick.
History will also show that Clinton/Gore
histrionics, legacy, and foreign “statesmanship” are immensely worse than
Clinton’s fornicating sexcapades.
001205
Elections by Squabbles
A
"however" for each Commandment
USA 2000 presidential elections drag
into legalistic squabbles.
Ballots are determined by biased media, corrupt
politicians, obscenely powerful unions, money interests and meretricious lawyers
rather than concerned voters.
Leaders spin freedom and justice distortions.
Pundits, experts, demagogues, the media and lawyers elaborate the intricacies of
their contorted images, and the bewildered citizens are dished therapeutic
“self-esteem” to replace progress.
This cycle has recurred for millennia, and
each time the experienced generations died before they could master the evolving
visions and educate their progeny.
Unfortunately, this process could require human
life to average about 200 years.
Meanwhile, the postmodernists build instant
wisdom on a Western Culture reduced to the politicized simplifications they can
comprehend. Their pseudo-knowledge becomes dogmatic and progresses toward
socialism, totalitarianism and oppression.
They submerge truth and history and
obtain majority votes by declaring that the new media-herded generations know
what is needed.
Machiavelli (1469-1527) showed how to succeed as we are, not as
we ought to be.
De Sade (1740-1814) exhibited an inextricable coexistence of
good and evil in man.
Hegel (1770-1831) asserted man’s need for recognition.
Religion offered us divine recognition/reward beyond evil nature, but the
religionists have dragged God down to their own level.
Without God, and with a
“However…” after each Commandment, reason remains hopelessly polarized in obtuse
convictions.
Cynical leaders, pontificating pundits, race/gender/poverty pimps,
political prostitutes are the curse of society.
Can we master reality, our
weaknesses and misfortunes beyond cowardly surrender to recognition, power and
success?
How can the individuals preserve their own integrity after being
media-homogenized?
Elections become shyster plots rather than political events.
Media and demagogues manipulate intellectually neutered followers.
Political
factions develop unchangeable opinions totally impervious to enlightening
evidence.
Reason’s blindness to truth behind bias is craftily nurtured.
Unconditional addiction to recognition, success, power and wealth have brought
us where we are.
Inspirational leaders like Buddha, Christ and lately Viktor
Frankel (died 1997) have shown how to prevail without power, money and support,
by mastering our own inner reaction to adversity, regardless of injustice,
sadistic oppressors, lynch mobs, kangaroo courts and torture.
We need a thorough moral/cultural redemption or an extremely long evolution.
010103 Postmodern Religion/Politics Intercourse.
Political games vs. proven morality
Max Weber wrote that
Protestantism caused the progress of the Anglo-Saxon cultures while Catholicism
kept the rest of Christianity backward.
Actually, both systems keep being
“post-modernized”.
The uncomfortable Calvinistic theory of predestination
mutated into God-favored behavioral code of hard work, righteousness, savings,
and prosperity, with a convenient alliance of clergy, business and leftist
government, with sanctimonious greed.
Neochristian pundits paint the system
ethical, but transform it into political correctness.
The converging perversion
of politics, morality, laws and power was exposed in the American year 2000
elections.
Postmodernism has reached virtually incurable rationalization of
dishonesty in the service of disguised goals, primarily based on leftist
manipulations.
Economic failures of Catholic countries have been attributed to
Catholic condemnation of usury (including banking), wealth, selfishness, and
material possessions.
Actually, both liberal Catholics and Protestants cannot
convert the evil side of human nature to the virtuous side. Their prevailing
characteristics are the propriety and respectability mask of presumptuous
hypocrisy.
Therefore Nietzsche regretted and Marx crowed: “God is dead”.
December 2000: Cornell University’s pundits opposed the advise of abstinence
from premarital sex, in grade school sex education, because it agreed with
religion.
Accordingly, should we promote murder, adultery, sex perversion, theft, perjury,
family disruption, because they are forbidden by religion?
It sound
unbelievable, but we are underway: our government protects murdering fetuses and
partially born children (a yearly massacre many times
the Jews Holocaust), sex perversion, no-fault divorce,
political perjury, family disintegration…
We are suborned to blame Christianity.
We find easy to ascribe degrading Balkanization of religion to the Protestants
and obtuse dogmatism to the Catholics, but the fact that the Ten Commandments
wisdom has been simultaneously advocated and ignored in most of mankind history
suggests that neither religion nor reason have resolved the problem of the
evil/good coexistence in man.
Postmodern religionists and believers customize
their Commandments and transform moral abominations into “rights” that promote
discord, hatred and cultural decomposition.
The above choice of a political game instead of a proven morality was made by a
leftist establishment which will be irreversibly overwhelmed by historically
proven morality, merit based competition, and by Western Culture achievements.
010211 Race vultures exploit "black rage"
Fraternizing Equality.
We desperately need white/black
fraternizing equality, but racial vultures inflame “black rage” to form an
exploitable black voting block.
Continuous documentation shows incredible
superstitions, cruelties, savage tortures, massacres and genocides still being
practiced nowadays by many African tribes from which most American-born blacks
descend only biologically.
The American-born blacks are fortunate, because most
of them would not even have been born if their biologic forefathers had remained
in Africa, because of its much higher mortality and criminality.
Black Americans
cannot expect apologies from the descendents of the African capturers of their
ancestors, because if those ancestors had won, they too would have enslaved and
sold their enemies.
American multi-cultural and Judeo-Christian ideals liberated
the blacks in America, not African culture.
Accusing today’s whites is an
inflammatory truth distortion.
Besides, many American blacks (over 1000 in New
Orleans alone) owned slaves.
That should correct the confusion between culture
and race. Culture can change at will, as did the underdeveloped cultures of the
white ancestors.
In a relatively recent past, owning slaves was common and not
considered evil or racist.
The politicized addiction to blaming today’s whites
for all our troubles is incurable as long as we hesitate to expose the race
pimps who inject destructive black rage into our society.
Rather than demanding
apologies from the whites, the American born blacks could appreciate the good
luck of living in America (even if imperfect) rather than in today’s African
quagmire.
Any idea “African” Americans (including Martin Luther King) have of
freedom, equality and rights would be mostly alien to them had they remained
African in Africa.
The “black rage” comes from a subconscious primordial evil in
the human nature that can be unleashed by polarizing rationalization.
A
corresponding “white rage” could be rationalized from the present documented
crimes by many more blacks against whites than vice-versa.
Meanwhile, countless
blacks are still now risking their lives to migrate worldwide to USA to be absorbed...
If my
native city had not been conquered and absorbed into the Roman empire, I might
have inherited the Carthaginian custom of throwing live babies into god Moloch’s
flaming furnace to placate him. [350]
010307 Raise the age of majority to 23 or 25
Dr. Spock, Margaret Mead, Dr. Kinsey, Freud, Marx have been
debunked, but their consequences linger.
Leftist “postmodern” self-deluding
sophistication adds to the present mess.
All I can do, in 350 words, is to
bluntly suggest some urgencies as follows:
Lowering adult age to 18 from 21
years was a political blunder. Longevity and increased educational requirements
raise majority age to 23 or 25 years to minimize disastrous immaturity errors
without parental guidance.
Parental and family primacy, even if misguided, is
less dangerous than intrusive bureaucracy.
Repeal no-fault divorce: it promotes
disastrous irresponsibility and crippling legal expenses.
Force fathers of
illegitimate children to honor their paternal responsibility. Irresponsible sex
is a crime against life.
Unwed parenthood is a timebomb against children and
society.
Discourage abortion short of life danger.
Restore responsibility in
sexual pleasure beyond mere fornication. Sterile pleasure precludes happiness.
Complement rights with corresponding duties and respectful goodwill. Imposing
rights without duties generates abuses and unbearable oppression.
Freedom, merit
recognition, devotion, justice and progress must always override the Equality
fetish.
Outcome equality enslaves us.
Liberalism’s privatized risks with
socialized profits are America’s Marxist Trojan Horse.
Moral, social, political,
“racial” and gender education are family, cultural and local issues, not federal
concern.
Schools are for impartial knowledge, not “sex education” or politics.
Financing public welfare and schools because they are failing is like curing
alcoholism with booze.
Only strictly necessary laws are useful. More laws create
new abuses and crimes.
Majority or minority racism, feminazism, homosexual and class
struggles are society’s cancerous growths.
Ranking politics higher than family
injects a lethal poison in our civilization.
Restore the primacy of history and
inclusive Western civilization as fulcrum of evolutionary multiculturalism.
Enforced equality of results kills culture, progress and freedom.
We are trapped
in the race (=skin/bones/entrails/etc.) vs. culture (=reason/knowledge/posture)
semantics. Only culture matters, and it can change at will. We can judge,
discuss or change ideas, postures, not neurons, legs, glands.
Let’s adopt the
metric system before USA becomes permanently handicapped.
Protect English.
De-politicize “he-or-she”, “history of personkind”, correct the “it’s”/”its”
confusion, restore “who/whom” precision.
Circumcision is presumably harmless, but unneeded, unnatural and hopelessly
irreversible.
010408 Dumbing of America
The dumbing of the American mainstream is
being spawned by political cowardice.
In most democracies, leaders who preach
self-disciplined knowledge are seldom reelected.
Thus cowardly leaders must
please knowledge-hollowed majorities.
“Entitlements” are mostly demanded by
misinformed people.
Example: financial “reparations” to the richest, freest,
healthiest, smartest blacks in the world for a slavery they are not suffering
from people who have not enslaved them.
What “reparations” should the Slavic
(origin of the word “slave”) and other enslaved peoples demand?
Like everybody
else, they rather evolved and freed themselves from slavery.
Some American universities, who
were afraid to antagonize the blacks, outlawed advertising on the historical
truth of slavery.
That makes the blacks the main victims of cynical political
and intellectual manipulations.
First, calling them “African-American” is a
troublemaking fraud, as if being black were undesirable.
Besides, over 20% in
Africa are not black.
Then, cynical lies like: black Cleopatra, Timbuktu world book center,
Aristotle stealing his philosophy from Alexandria’s library, whites killing
blacks’ ability to fly and more are dishonest nonsense that ultimately will
boomerang on innocent blacks.
Bill, Hillary and their groupies have also
contaminated us for 8 years.
Clinton even massacred innocent Serbian civilians
to divert attention from his alleged rape of Juanita Broaddrick and thus
unleashed Muslim Albanian terrorism beyond control.
He concealed that Milosevic was
only reacting to terrorist attacks.
***********************************
The environmentalists are dished lunatic
pseudo-science.
Nature has destroyed 99.9% of all species that ever existed.
Bacteria, the most successful form of life, kill and pollute more than all of
mankind can.
At least 999.99% of the universe has no life.
Most life is being destroyed
primarily by nature.
American culture preserves ecology from contamination by
other cultures, besides eliminating slavery (except in Africa).
Now USA has more
trees than before the Pilgrims landed.
Few "ecolonuts" believe it, but it is the
unadorned truth.
Many ancient Native Americans used to
burn forests, practice cannibalism, torture, human sacrifices, oppression and
slavery.
They were saved and civilized by the whites.
They can become as "white"
as the "white" did.
In postmodern “multiculturalism”, unconcerned coexistence of
incompatible beliefs, religions and life styles resembles scatterbrained
embalming of live mummies.
Rome and USA exemplify true multiculturalism, which
is evolutionary and converging.
Recognizing our problems without hypocritical euphemisms and paranoid
hypersensitivity is essential for harmonious progress.
010503 Alleged genetics
Mentioning the genetic superiority of the
blacks in sports is hush-hushed in the media, for fear that it would expose the
blacks’ “genetic inferiority” in moral and intellectual matters.
Media,
politicians, some glib doctors and "postmodern" intellectuals pontificate that
gays are "victims" (perhaps a Freudian slip) of genetics, and "nothing can be done"
(another slip) about it. Blacks are
"subconsciously" branded by their "protectors".
Apparently, psychology, medicine, sociology, media and
many politicians, are still remarkably low in the evolutionary ladder.
The
blacks’ genetic athletic superiority is undisputed, but their statistically
lower performance in non-athletic fields is not genetic.
It is the “collateral
damage” from social, political, and cultural postures superimposed by the
racists, race exploiters, and self-destructive warpaths of anti-white militants.
Where there is an act of will, from political/moral posture to life-styles,
genetics play a marginal role, if any.
Genetic characteristics are transmitted
only through heterosexual reproduction, which would ultimately eliminate “homosexual
genes”, if any.
Nature created sex for reproduction, with sexual pleasure as its
inducement.
Homosexuality is a behavioral deviation from normal sex, probably as an
alternative outlet from unsatisfied cravings or other compulsions.
The junk
science of homosexuality’s genetic origin deprives gays of free will and
excuses.
Special “natural rights” to homosexuals or dispensations for genetic
reasons, therefore, could extend to other “victims”, such as pedophiles,
kleptomaniacs, fetishists, sadists, rapists, serial killers and other “genetic”
compulsive deviants…
Neither intense heterosexuality nor
homosexuality ("genetic" or not) prevents responsible celibates or various believers, priests,
nuns, monks, ascetics from satisfactory abstinence.
Natural rights are survival
and reproduction, not homosexual anal, oral and manual gratification.
When
homosexuals paraded militancy in the past, society rebelled and gay behavior
went into closet privacy, like onanism.
These cycles occurred in many cultures
and times, and may reoccur.
We are being indoctrinated into ignoring history;
therefore we are condemned to repeat it.
We are reliving the temporary
phenomenon of Sodom and Gomorrah, where deranged leadership spun debauchery
tolerance and deviations into virtues and rights.
Media and politicians are
trapped in holding the tails of insatiable dragons like anti-white racism,
homosexual militancy and anti-family feminism.
Moreover, insecure religious groups are updating their traditionally sacred
beliefs into the same cultural decomposition.
010603 "Sophisticated primitives"
Today’s
postmodern pundits are cultural primitives with allegedly sophisticated
articulation.
They produce insignificant results, with the conviction of making
cultural history.
A self-important
(gay?) operetta curmudgeon attacked me viciously because I criticize homosexual
militants. He published hoity-toity personal insults instead of appropriate
dissenting argumentations, and remained with both feet in his mouth.
I don’t
fight homosexuals; I only object to defiant gay militancy.
I have hired
gays and worked with them in harmony and mutual respect, leaving sex in the
closet.
“Genetic”
explanations become an exculpatory junk science to prove that homosexuality
“cannot be helped”.
Yet, homosexual militants are the only known genetics
blamers who frantically refuse redemption and the fact that countless
“experimental” homosexuals have returned to normality.
The “loving” and
“gay family” accent in homosexual apologetics pretends to wallpaper same-sex
genital/oral/anal manipulations as the distinctive core of homosexuality.
Recently, they slipped again into their own quicksand by vehemently objecting to
Mother’s Day, which only they regard as offensively “homophobic”.
There, they
invent a tacky “motherphobia”, which will mercilessly boomerang, as in some
final cycles of decaying processes.
Traditionally,
prominent homosexuals have focused on their art, science or other outstanding
endeavors, and closeted their sexual preferences. Like prominent masturbators,
nose-pickers and porno addicts.
Apparent support for homosexuality stems also from some persons’ fear of having
to curtail their own undisclosed sins, which are qualified as “freedom”
and “god-given rights” by political exploiters.
American culture risks being swallowed
into racial/feminist/homo/deconstructionist militancy.
Our “inalienable rights” are being degraded to crotch levels.
Since a basic
human weakness is alleged to be what Hegel called “need for recognition”, many fear being
ridiculed, marginalized or condemned by herded crowds.
Animals don’t show that
need. Therefore animals can fear, but only humans can be cowards.
Hate-crime/homophobia/racism accusations are demagogic intimidations into
cultural decomposition.
Responsible truth-seekers abhor being cowards much more than being defeated or ridiculed.
One cannot
pontificate with “mild amusement” about potholes while the bridge is
collapsing.
Today’s militant
homosexuals complain about “homophobia” like a stabber who accuses his victim:
”You dirtied my knife with your belly’s blood!”
They should look into the mirror with open
mind.
010715 Creating www.higheryet.com
To the answering machine anonymous callers:
1)
I have no intention or wish of fighting gays. We
should help them out of militancy and out of their troubles. We have to live
together and many of them are as good human beings as any.
2)
Whoever stated he enjoys my becoming ridiculous
has put me on a pedestal of unwanted heroism, and himself in a perversion
pillory. He may want to explain, but who is interested to drag on and on?
3)
A collection of all my letters to the Kenosha News
proves that I never attacked anyone by name and always signed my name. The
militants either distorted or couldn’t understand what I wrote and published
censored. I pointed to statistics, genetics, cultural matters etc.
4)
I never meant that all anonymous letters are
cowardly: only those who write insults “ad hominem”. As to their sick hatred
(anonymous or not), my comments are unnecessary.
5)
Some of my friends and business associates who
happen to be gay have been welcome at my dinner table scores of times and
productively connected to my business.
They and the gay militants have no more
in common than the traditional feminists and the male-hating ultrafeminists.
6)
I am grateful to the
Kenosha News for having published my letters
every single month for 5 years, and I may continue to write, if accepted, but I’ll communicate better in http://www. higheryet.com, as suggested by many.
That establishes
a focused atmosphere devoid of hatred, while handling more important subjects.
The web site is still developing, but can already be visited by anyone.
To other callers
and readers:
My web site is still primitive (my writing is only part-time after business, travel and family), but I am enjoying writing un-shrunk letters, even if some readers prefer them in the 350-word size (some are just that size).

"Americans should unite to advance cultural values"]
Islamism or Civilization
World War II could have been avoided or minimized had the Free World heeded Churchill’s warnings.
“911” was an obvious harbinger of World War III, but the American logical counterattack is condemned by the opposition party…
Islamists
are transforming Islam into an insatiable monster: "Kill or enslave all
infidels". The Koran offers NO ALTERNATIVES.
"911" demonstrated what the Islamists pursue if we don’t obliterate (not
just “correct”) their posture.
Our soldiers are now securely in locations with a unique strategic advantage
in the most vulnerable and vicious area of the Muslim world.
If we started landing and invading Iraq and/or Afghanistan only now, we would pay a much higher price in lives and means than we have paid so far for what would take much longer now. Not to mention the carnages the isolated Israel would have suffered.
Our
enemies are virtually nailed down from menacing sides...
If we retreated, Afghanistan,
Iraq and Israel would not only be devastated, and our already sacrificed heroes
outrageously ignored, but our retreat itself would cause nightmarish losses
when the unavoidable necessity to reoccupy the area would force us into renewed
confrontations.
Moreover, all the terrorists now forced to confront us in the Middle East would
be unleashed to attack us in the USA.
What else do we thing would prevent the suicide bombers from destroying our sitting-duck skyscrapers, dams, schools, churches, factories, etc…?
For the
Muslims, the Koran is coessential with Allah, and prescribes enslaving or
killing the “infidels” (and specifically the Christian and Jews) who do not
convert to Islam.
That’s it.
Democrats and Republicans, let’s be united in advancing our cultural values. [274 words]

*******************************************************************************************************
27 April 1998 Guest Editorial NOT PUBLISHED (rejected)
The unnecessary confrontation.
As a father, husband, and employer, I am dismayed by
the confrontational trend of some in my community to join the national
Balkanization even into erotic hate groups.
I read a letter to Kenosha News
misquoting from the Old Testament:
“..Just to love a (male) God with all your
heart. Isn’t that a form of homosexuality?”.
Fellatio/sodomy with God?.
No reaction by the newspaper, but plenty of expressed shock was published when
our government appointed an overtly homosexual ambassador to Luxembourg.
I answer in the same publication without anonymity; but the homos were allowed
to attack me by full name and sign "name withheld" or "anonymous" (find out in
the Kenosha public library). Some homosexuals think they
must incessantly attack Western "heterosexual" values and mutate them into their own: gay
family, gay God and Jesus, gay insurance, taxes and other typically Western
institutions.
Homosexuality is based on deviating sexual
pleasure against nature’s purpose.
Nature implanted the erotic drive only as an
instinctive inducement for reproduction.
Homosexual gratification produces
nothing, like masturbation.
Put homosexuals on an island and they are extinct in
one generation.
A family based on masturbation (mutual or not), or on homosexuality, is an
oxymoron.
Gays who want to bear children themselves need artificial insemination
of male seed into a womb, gay or not.
Nothing could speak better for
the normal (="heterosexual") family.
Masturbators don’t claim the right to start a masturbating
family, and they don't cause AIDS plagues.
Occasional or habitual masturbators are at least
90% of the population, against a maximum of 1.5-2% homosexuals.
Dr. Kinsey, a
zoologist (not medical doctor), crypto-homosexual himself, invented the
10%-homosexuals lie (1948).
He interviewed, and made hard-porno movies of
homosexuals, prison inmates and volunteers eager to talk about their sexual
peculiarities, whereas normal heterosexuals are reluctant to publicize erotic
intimacies.
Sexuality itself is an inseparable blend of conscious and
subconscious drives that still defy clear explanations.
In the Christian spirit (if the anti-Christian Inquisition still allows it),
we should speak against homosexuality, however, the same as we speak against
diabetes or epilepsy, without hating or ostracizing diabetics or epileptics.
We would oppose them if they tried to spread or favor their sickness.
Psychologists who declared homosexuality “normal” did it in the same spirit as
declaring diabetics normal as such.
They are diabetic, but they fight diabetes.
Political
correctness distorted the issue.
Take masturbation: we know that very many (or most? really, who wants to parade it?) do it, we hide or condemn it, but we don’t
penalize the masturbators,
unless they display it or claim special privileges.
The theory of unconditional (but amoral) self-esteem
necessity outlaws guilt, the self-control of the Christian ethics system. Lust
gratification control with sin designation, and guilt feeling after sinning,
kept Western morality standing.
Cripple guilt feeling with unconditional
self-esteem, and you cripple morality. Someone declares incongruously that
normal marriage and gay cohabitation “ are “different and equal”.
Cohabiting
homosexuals should label their arrangement or contract any way they want, rather
than “marriage”.
When I wrote about it before, I titled my assay “To Closet or
Not To Closet” (which the pro-gay editor changed), because the focus was Machiavellian
(amoral rather than immoral) rather than moral: gays should avoid a self-victimizing confrontation with those
who resent tampering with the most venerable (hetero-) sexual institution. The
instinctive (hetero) sexual defensiveness against overt homosexual encroachment
will never change.
Moreover, heterosexuals are at least 98% of society. The
generalized image of homosexuality is like aggravated mutual masturbation
among same-gender persons.
Masturbation is much more natural than
homosexuality, but masturbators would create vehement masturphobia if they
considered themselves victims of, and entitled to, anything unobtainable without
masturbation (I hardly believe anyone likes to read about this subject...).
It is not happening. Therefore we have no horrified masturphobia activists.
Some object that gays have taken over Hollywood. Only
apparently.
Historically, gifted gays are relatively prominent in artistic and
intellectual fields because they are stimulated by the restrictions of
conventional society. It has nothing to do with morality.
Take
premarital sex: we know that it is widely practiced, we hide or condemn the
“sin”, but not so much the perpetrators, unless they display it or claim special
privileges..
Lust gratification control with sin designation, and guilt feeling after
sinning, kept Western morality standing.
The theory of self-esteem necessity
outlaws guilt, the self-control of the Christian ethics system
The generalized
image of homosexuality is somehow like unmarried sex aggravated by the
same-gender intercourse. Male/female fornication is statistically much more
natural than homosexuality, but unmarried lovers would cause vehement opposition
if they considered themselves victims of, and entitled to anything unobtainable
without marriage or conventional family.
“Pursuit
of happiness”? But happiness and pleasure are ultimately opposites.
Today’s “Gay Pride Parades”, like the ancient “Bacchanalia”, end in sadness with
masked desperation.
Happiness necessitates lasting goals available to both heteros and homos on a
loftier-than-crotch level, where pleasure is an interlude, not a goal.
Tchaikowsky
was tormented by that dilemma and finally sublimed his repressed homosexuality
into composing immortal music.
Lord Byron chose poetry and veiled his torment. Normal sexuality (not
homosexuality) is genetic but doesn’t enslave us.
We can sublime it, because free will determines behavior.
Millions, not just virtuous monks and priests, do it for many causes.
Some homosexuals
who refused to exhibit and promote their peculiarity
were great contributors to civilization .
Gays who choose confrontation ruin their chances to survive in a world in which
the survival of life is reproduction.
Finally, linking homosexuality to Paganism and heterosexuality to Christianity
can degrade to a confrontation between witches and witch hunters.
Or should we dream of an evolutionary transformation modeled after the
“impossible” dialog between Aristotle and Christ?.
Who blinks first?
****************************************************************************************
A peculiar interview
On Dec. 5 (or
approximately), 2003, I was
interviewed in my manufacturing plant by a
charming
young reporter. She told me that the "Kenosha News" was sending her to interview
me because of
requests
by the readers who missed my letters and "editorials" (mostly censored
and with
unimaginative "generic titles")
to find
out what had happened to me, and whether I was willing to
write again to the
"Kenosha News".
She also brought a Kenosha News photographer for the occasion, whose house
happened to
have been
successfully restored years ago with my chemical restoration products.
We had a delightful conversation in which I reacted with a cordial humor for the occasion.
I thought that reestablished a desirable relationship with the newspaper.
Upon leaving, she was very effusive in expressing the great pleasure she
had experienced in
our encounter, which she repeatedly defined as one of "the most pleasant and
enlightening"
he
had ever had...
The result was published, on Dec. 15, 2003
(pasted from 2 pages to fit it here) as follows:

Comments:
1) Starting the above report with the absolute lie that I had
"earned...a reputation as
both the loathed and lovable curmudgeon of Kenosha County" is a gross
proves that
someone
other than Jessica Hanson wrote the report, beside the fact that it was not in
the interview/.
2) All of my "Kenosha Letters", starting from the beginning ("The art of
demanding vs. the skill of
producing")
to the above lines, are the total of my contacts with the Kenosha News..
Reading them may be surprising.
3) All published responses to my letters can be found in the Kenosha Public Library.
Outside of a raving
militant
homosexual
and his
sycophants, no one ever wrote with hostility or called me "nasty
names in
direct telephone
conversations
and messages". Only one raving hetherophobe (and no one else) threw
at me
only once some
nasty words
incompetently fished from the Roget's Thesaurus, in the
typical vapid style
of the "pot hole editor" (as they call him).
It is futile to react
to the only local newspaper, which censors my letters
and not
the insulting
"ad hominem" reactions to them.
4) My www.higheryet.com
describes my "ego" in existentialist terms, not in the
narcissistic style
mentioned by the interviewer. I don't concentrate on my navel.
5) The quip about my letters allegedly inspiring a reader ("L. R.") to feed heart-worm pills to her dog
(now: who is loony?)and of disagreeing
with me "98% (why not 98.00947.6%?) of the time" and 2% of the time not knowing what
I
was saying, was not in the interview with the reporter but invented just to put me in a special light.
But then:
why did the bored L. R. miss my letters if she either opposed or didn't
understand them?
Was it necessary to depict R.T. as a lunatic? Her lawyer should have been
salivating about it.
The out-of-place incongruity, prolixity and superfluousness (look them up
in the "Webster Unabridged")
of the
lines on "L.R. are in the self important style of the
"Pothole Editor".
His self-revealimg malevolence fits in the article like a deaf hippopotamus in the Swan Ballet.
6) True: I am not interested in being dragged into a insult sewer again.
I never asked the editors and
other newspaper insiders, from the owner down, to protect me from it,
even after
they
came to
my home
for dinners and parties.
They are herewith invited again to my
80th birthday party. as they used to.
[Jan. 2004: they did not show up, like the king without clothes...].
7) Like the Kenosha News, I am willing to admit that Bush doesn't walk on water;
but, if he did, I would
not insinuate
that he walks on water because he is a poor swimmer (and what if he were?).
8) Calling my opinions "voluminous" sounds like flashing a provoking euphemism with a
dubious
diplomatic lining.
9) The messages left in my answering machine were and are all favorable to
me.
10)The title, "WHATEVER: Man calls Web page 'his ego' " is a
questionable spin by self-appointed
sophistication.
If you
care, read my letters above
in my over 600-page
http://www.higheryet.com.
11) As to consulting the "Webster Unabridged": everybody
should.
Especially I, for I started learning
English
(my last of 8 llanguages in order of time so far) only at age 31 plus.
The Roget's Thesaurus is also indispensable, also for
those who were born with English. No one
should
risk becoming
and/or remaining a fool [dolt, dunce, tomfool, schmuck,
pompous ass, jackass, zany, clown,
buffoon, doodle,
sop,
milksop,
mooncalf, softhead, chump, booby, boob, sap..... and more....
Get your own Roget's Thesaurus!].
As to my "8 languages",
I neglected 3
from disuse. So, now I am fluent in only the remaining five...
12)
When I
complained that our town (100,000 inhabitants)
doesn't
even have a full-fledged bookstore,
the typical disparaging objection came up: "Why don't you open one yourself?
I did much more with several local and international manufacturing, research and
cultural activities the quipping editor neglects or ignores. I created new
jobs and invented products that did not exist before, out of virtually nothing.
I don't state it- with strutting pride, but with the humble admiration I deeply feel for the countless unknown, forgotten and often sacrificed geniuses, heroes and saints who most likely have contributed to mankind even more than the well known celebrities.
Rather than degrading ourselves in personal attacks, we ought to
justify our existence by helping rather than digging in our degrading vanities.
If the presently available people cannot be inspired to higher goals, we need
better personnel: not necessarily liberal or conservative, but culturally
literate and/or sincerely
appreciative of matters beyond political agendas.
The objection that a newspaper has to cater to the "8-graders" is a
smug presumption.. It is difficult to
find
an "8-grader" who wouldn't love to upgrade him(her)self higher and higher yet...
If I do something worth mentioning, I must be a masochist if I choose to inform
my town newspaper and
have the
same editor or his associates report
the matter in the distorting style they use for self-devouring reasons that are
difficult to detail, but perheps easier represented in the metaphor of the
serpent swallowing himself, starting from his tail...

DIVORCE: A SOCIAL CANCER
Traditionally, divorce was considered worse than unhappy
marriage.
Then, divorce was thought to be better than a poor marriage.
Later, the “no-fault” divorce laws reduced marriage to a prelude to divorce
litigations recipe for lawyers.
Now anyone can contrive marriage contracts that are litigation gold mines for
trial lawyers.
The law decreed rights as hostile ramparts between spouses, thereby discouraging
devotion as cement of the genuine family. We have reached the absurdity that
Family was described as a "democracy" in a popular TV program. How can children
(or sperm and ovum?) elect their parents?
Law provides legal
indifference for compliance, and punishment for infractions.
This approach lacks
even the crude white-and-black of reward and punishment.
Marriage is family, which is not just gray, but any imaginable color.
Today’s
family is being mutated into an environment in which rights are legal time bombs.
In family, each
member should have all rights and duties, no just his/her own fraction of them.
It also
goes beyond the conventional 50/50 duties of man and woman, which should be 100%
for either spouse. That is, if one of them neglects his/her 50% of the duties,
the other simply performs 100%, whether man or woman. Period. No "right
thing" should remain neglected because someone else was supposed to perform it.
Because of mutual devotion and love, family should do what the court of law can
not.
Nothing better
until a "better" solution is found.
Divorce is not the solution.
Suffering the
consequences of a lopsided situation can be quite a burden, but not as ugly as
divorce and its effects on the children and society.
Only lawyers and politicians who gain from divorce see it as a solution.
Politics
and litigations suggest daily that the more sophisticated and reasoned an argumentation
is, the more inconclusive it may result.
Therefore religion was the accepted solution: God ordains unconditional devotion and
separation as virtue and sin within irrefutable definitions, and the sin is outlawed
beyond objections.
Religions which offered forgiveness to the repenting sinners provided the premise and cultural advantage of indissoluble marriage.
What about irreconcilable differences and no religion?
The matter is dealt with by
definition in a patriarchal or matriarchal society.
In “equal rights” environments, the law would have to simply define pre-marital
contracts that assign enforceable decisions to the one or the other
spouse. In the worst cases, this assignment could be changed to the other
spouse.
What a mess...
The traditional alternative is religion or other irrefutable
way (unknown so far) , like an
ad-hoc constitution.
Just use a politically correct name for it, and we innocently expect it to work...
Unfortunately, trial lawyers and politicians are addicted to their divorce gold mines.
VIRTUE
“Virtue is its own reward” needs realization as a truth,
not as a sanctimonious proclamation.
Furthermore, we can be devoted to virtue
to our best, even if we are not virtuous.
Religion has translated it for us in a behavioral precept, which necessitate no
sophistication:
"God sees everything, rewards virtue and punishes sin." .
No one can escape that.
Trouble is, it deprives lawyers or enormous amounts of
litigation money,
The concept of sin in religion is like the zero in mathematics: it makes its
operations possible.
Post-modern religionists have contaminated virtue itself by being unable to
maintain an inspiring level in their endeavors.
By democratizing religion, they have failed in managing theology on a rational
scale, and the supernatural vision couldn’t even be approached in their
theatricals and contrived pietism.
Just as the computer must be “user friendly”, today's religion wants to be
“sinner friendly”, fun, popularized and “self-esteeming”, or its fingernails
will scratch the political chalkboard.
We consider “virtue is its own reward” only on a heroic level.
Thus, we consider anything
“virtuous” beyond the reach of average people.
That is why today’s virtue demands recognition, a “bravo!” for each virtuous
action, a coupon toward Heaven, with special rates for frequent churchgoers.
With this style, sin-friendly religion has undermined the supremacy of virtue.
God is the one who rewards, but it is we who really judge and create saints and
banal “role models” with recognition of socially attuned virtues.
For public
prestige, if originally a correct action was considered virtuous, we tended to
raise the level of virtue or goodness to a point higher than what we were
accustomed to strive for, until virtue became something for saints only.
That,
however, triggered the remedy of wholesale-democratized forgiveness for our sins
and other transgressions, otherwise many religionists would lose not only their
clout, but also their income.
Like giving, virtue is as powerful as generating a child: it increases us,
whether we are appreciated or not; even if the integrity of that creation is
blended with the “sinful” selfish pleasure of the sexual act.
The Puritans took the virtue out of pleasure.
The postmodern religionists are taking the pleasure out of virtue.
Or they could share the dubious credits.
EDUCATION REMAINS A PROBLEM
Ancient records and traditions show that, for many millennia,
writing, information storing and retrieval, cultural activities, speculative
knowledge and even trading skills began as tasks for slaves, for the lordships
had no time for the required learning processes.
As the lowly endeavors
rose to higher levels, so did aristocracy change in qualitative composition and/or
appearance.
Slaves gradually became free and powerful enough to get their own
slaves.
We hardly notice it now, because the upper classes looked apparently the
same, partly because some aristocratic families evolved and remained on their
social level, or because the new aristocrats simply took the power place and style of
the old ones in our eyes.
Just like now, the non-progressing old aristocracy simply
lost its status and joined the "oppressed populace".
As in the past, the average public doesn’t notice it and those who do are
marginalized or persecuted, because the “powerful” and obsolescent aristocracy
misreads the writing on the wall.
They dominate the media or whatever Public Relation, and manipulate the public.
Now, the
public is led into puzzling diversions like racism, feminism, results-equality,
entitlements, jobs for jobs sake, pension plans, medical care, and education is
buried under building and salary requirements.
They all become little more than frivolous goals, for they can only succeed as
consequences of keeping up with the developing knowledge and cultural
achievements.
The indentured "educators" shy, alarmed, from real culture, for it requires self
discipline they cannot manage in an ascent in which others may rise higher than
they or push them aside.
Just as primitive witchdoctors use magic words to call or scare good or evil
spirits, they give the impression of solving the problems by simply assigning
definitions (like magic words) to them.
It sounds scientific without your-money-back guarantee.
Meanwhile, race/gender/poverty exploiters and the professional victims jockey
for power.
We elect our leaders from that kind.
The real educational issues languish ignored.
Those who are educated in such an environment are the present parents and a
public who have no idea of which subjects their children are to learn at what
level of training.
Whenever I asked the public school teachers what was the teaching program
designed for any of my children's classes, I was told that it was too complicated
or that I wouldn't understand it.
I tried to empathize, but the teachers didn't
understand that that attitude would make it also impossible for the children to
be educated.
I really didn't believe that they could understand the problem...
THE LEFTISTS ARE STILL TRYING
Leftists American university professors have kept excommunicating
individualism as the antithesis of their movement since the 18th century French
Revolution. Especially after 1793.
Equality radicals were called Leftists because they sat on the left
side in the French National Assembly hall in the 1790s.
Their greatest takeover
happened only in 1917, as Russian communism.
It produced the largest mass
murders in history, because equality (that is: equality of results, to be
enforced with violence and executions,
contrary to their assurance that hey mean only equality of opportunity) and liberty are hopelessly incompatible,
and enforcing equality of results has slaughtered between 80 and 120 millions of
non-socialists worldwide between 1917 and 1945.
For thousands of years, fanatics have
massacred communities because they were not-conforming Utopias.
After their
multiple disastrous failures, international Socialists still persist with their dream of
“doing it right next time”.
Most disguise it as liberal democracy, but truth
begins emerging to full view.
Leftists refuse to admit that only capitalism is
producing wealth and progress, while Socialism has always produced misery and
horrors.
They blame all the evils to white man’s Western Culture and
Christianity, which are the basis of individual liberty.
Anti-individualism
poisoning shows in hostility toward anyone who supports individual freedom.
Many
decent Socialism or even Nazism sympathizers abhor the idea of killing any one person
for any ideal, but they find justifications for murdering millions of
non-Socialists or Jews.
Every non Socialist becomes a non-person to be ignored
or obliterated, for leftist "liberalism" cannot deal with non-herded individuals.
Socialist beliefs are dogmatic truths, and individuals could only pose heretical
questions to Socialist dogmas.
Leftist scholars crossbreed in sterilized
isolation within their universities, where they teach their repainted Marxist
dogmas, carefully exclude alternative thinking and “erase” all achievements of
past and present Western Culture.
They are implicitly supported by the liberal
media, where their idealized instant-knowledge is vastly more popular than the
demanding learning of true culture and morality.
We should not forget that the overwhelming majority of voters in both a
"liberal" and a socialist democracy don't have the will or capability to go
through the disciplined learning of true education.
That explains Clinton
popularity with the half-educated (it is astounding how many "scholars" are no
more than half educated).
The Antichrist myth mirrors a Satan who calls
himself Christ and adds murderous fanaticism to stupefying mirages.
His
Socialistic cultists believe they implement Christian loving equality by
massacring dissidents worldwide, like the Virgin stepping on the satanic
serpent.
Then, horrified by our analysis of their lurking fetishism, they must
exterminate us too, for they know nothing better.
Leftists cause tragedies with incompetent enforcement of
popular beliefs they have generated and manipulated.
Then, they indignantly
unleash hatred (the “hate crime” they attribute to others) against those who
criticize the results of their holier-than-thou atrocities.
They
presuppose that their followers have all the rights, and the opponents all the
"duties" (Clinton called those duties: “their fair share”).
Once in power, they pull lawyers, teachers and
bureaucrats to their side.
***/
It works like a charming curse.
Their class struggle,
like lynching, prevents the understanding that only comes from
individual-to-individual interaction.
Politicians dedicated to “protecting the
poor against the rich” started the mess.
Poor are "good". Rich are "bad".
After crucifying the “rich”, leftists
started spawning while discreetly purging the dissenters, starting within
themselves.
When
socialists/communists reigned unopposed, they discarded the dissidents by the
hundreds of thousands in
gulags, forced starvation or whatever extermination they could contrive, as they
did since 1917.
Inevitably, the “workers” became the ultimate victims, after
being used to promote the leftist paradise.
Even after this historic warning,
they now dismiss the communist massacres as a capitalist invention, but they
secretly see them as “good riddance”, just like the crypto-anti-Semites, who
prefer to conclude that the
"The Holocaust never happened".
What if the socialists
keep gaining, as in Europe?
The Chinese socialists have already exterminated
about 40-50 million non-conformists (read this number again and again, please), and openly boast they aim to destroy
America.
Clinton committed himself to them and betrayed the American commitment to
Taiwan.
Al Gore, for whom Clinton was “one of the greatest presidents in
history”, also wanted the United Nations International Court to pursue the
Balkans, not the international socialist monstrosity.
Is he a socialism’s Trojan
horse?
Hollywood has been Trojan-horsing already for over 70 years.
At 89, Elia
Kazan, one of the greatest movie/theater directors, was bestowed a lifetime
award at the 1999 Oscar celebration against organized opposition of Hollywood
actors and union workers who protested that he had testified against 8 confessed
communists in 1952.
No protest for over 100 millions massacred non-socialists
since 1917. (Read it again, please).
"No protest against Clinton’s perversity, presidency prostitution and
massacres of unarmed and uninvolved civilians?.
As if that were not enough, his interventions helped also the Islamists, whose
aims were may times as destructive for our Western World, but still unrevealed
to the public.
When will the media acknowledge the truth?
The confusion of
his supporters is reflected in their belief that he had something to do with our
computer/Internet-generated economic prosperity.
On the other hand, a
capitalistic democracy tends to produce a rich-and-poor environment in which the
poor have real possibilities of becoming rich, in spite of confiscatory taxes
that tend toward socialistic redistribution.
Leftist democracies tax “the rich”
toward the level of the poor in the name of equality.
Under those conditions,
everyone loses the chance of becoming rich, unless he steals like the
socialist/communist bureaucrats.
Often, the socialistic democracy is the second
phase of some capitalistic societies, after the competition ends up
concentrating the power in an enriched despotic (crypto plutocratic) bureaucracy, as it is developing
in many Western countries.
Leftist belief in the competence of the government experts and
bureaucrats to handle unresolved social problems is based on the believer’s
impatient insecurity and inability to tackle the problems themselves.
Since they need
faith in their idealized leader to solve society’s troubles, they tend to
gloss over his tacky immorality or incompetence, simply because he is a genius
as a populist..
Yet the average politicians’
incompetence may be our ultimately available defense against efficient
implementation of the leftist disastrous “solutions”.
This is one of the unintended
risky benefits of democracy (and its most unknown solid raison d'être), which results in frustrating impasses.
We are still
groping for any solution beyond democracy and socialism.
The apparently logical
consequence is that we should empower only a safe minimum number of competent
politicians.
What about a compassionate monarchy à la prince Charles, with an
amendment against the "Princess-Di" syndrome?
Nonsense? Sure, but it is self destructing.
************************************************************************************************
MORE LEFTIST BLEMISHES
The Cold War is over worldwide, but continues as
left/right struggle in USA.
The main Socialist goals of utopian equality of
results, elimination of family, individual freedom and private property, cannot
stop before becoming an imposed nightmare that massacres the very people it
intends to help, after using them to succeed.
That was scholarly documented in
“Le Livre Noir du Communisme” (“The Black Book of Communism”), published 1997 in
France.
Neosocialists claim they now accept private property and family, but
their confiscatory and society-homogenizing legislation still leads to Socialism.
Leftist “liberals” are crypto-socialists who have rejected (officially, that is) the massacres but not
the goals.
They promise improved Socialism with equality of opportunities and
rights before the law.
Yet they fight against individualism, family, private
property and for imposed equal results, because Socialism cannot win otherwise.
Race/gender/poverty exploiters inflame those who enjoyed equal opportunity
without reaching the top.
That promotes the social disruption and final
repression Socialism needs.
Meanwhile, greedy politicians and bureaucrats keep
accumulating the power that the Soviets preserved by sending their disappointed
followers to extermination gulags.
Actually, any bureaucratized society suffers
under the minority that grabbed power, whether by submissive association,
conspiracy, competition or power struggle.
The ultra-feminists become natural allies
of the Socialists by claiming that family devotion and accepted traditions are
implanted by “patriarchal/capitalistic brainwashing”.
The homosexuals are lured
(before being massacred when their turn comes, as by the Nazis and Soviets) into the aim of destroying
the “homophobic” Western/Capitalistic/Judeo-Christian society.
Many
Socialist/liberals develop the mirage of an earthly paradise, with the dogmatic
conviction that any opponent is like a Satan-possessed victim to be exorcised or
eliminated.
They ignore out of existence all documentations of the
horrors of the implemented socialistic systems.
Lenin wrote:
“Id would not
matter if ¾ of the human race perished. The important thing is that the
remaining ¼ remained communist."
That is: killing 3 to save a 4th one is
gruesome, but comparatively as horrible as killing about 10,000 innocent
non-combatant, non-enemy Islamism-opposed Serbian civilians to shield the unendangered
Clinton-ordered pilots who were killing them unprovoked from a safe distance.
Sen. Joseph McCarty fought American Socialism over 50 year ago
with flawed methods that crypto-communists eagerly turned against him.
Very
few had any idea then that the communists were by far worse than McCarty
thought.
Leftist democratic competition and ethics are becoming ethical
pretzels.
Some industries disguise price fixing.
Monopolized unions openly fix salaries
and work conditions.
HMOs bureaucratize captive physicians to serve the HMOs
first, and the patients last.
Add increased overcharges and unneeded tests and surgeries.
Crass insider frauds, political corruption and other crimes infest the stock
market.
The government picks on Microsoft as a monopoly, but Microsoft is only
more successful, not more unethical than its competitors.
Why aren’t the
Teamsters and similarly monopolizing unions restrained?
The fact that
politicians need their votes seems to taint democracy as seriously as
communism’s need for mass support.
Why is pollution allowed in some fields and
not in others?
How can Hillary Clinton or other connected politicians make a
10,000.00% stock market profit in 9 months, and Bill use the
White House for
debauchery?
We know that Clinton distracted (intentionally or coincidentally) us from his cynical crimes by
massacring undetermined thousands of innocents and leaving their countries in
worse conditions than before.
Whoever says, “Boring. Heard that already”, “You
sound angry”… remains obtuse to the reality that Clinton’s “private escapades”
are inextricably connected with the massacres that cover them up.
Therefore
his foreign interventions’ results suffer of an appalling incongruity.
Wealthy
rotting cultures in the past strutted in narcissistic pride before they were destroyed.
While the degeneration was in full course, its perpetrators were scorning and
persecuting each “prophet” as a Joseph McCarthy of their time.
The prophets were
right, but probably as "crude" as McCarty.
Beside the above mentioned monstrosities, several manifestations of cultural
decomposition are already evident: family disintegration; debasing of the white
male and Western cultural/moral values:
Big Brother government creeps in;
politicized/unionized
public education;
downward equality until mediocrity reigns supreme;
media-orchestrated national opinion;
incessant homogenizing of the
professionals;
one gay intimidating ninety-nine straights;
race, poverty,
gender, and “hate-crime” pimps fomenting their own hate-crimes.
Meanwhile, the media seem unaware of our moral and cultural decay, as well as of
the fact that the computer cybernetic revolution saved us from leftist economic
disasters.
There are outstanding books with scholastic
historic evidence of how the application of socialistic ideals has produced
incredibly worse consequences than the alleged conservative severity.
********************************************************************************************************
HORROR AND INDIFFERENCE
DeSade’s fictional descriptions of limb
dismembering and flesh searing sexual tortures narrate facts executed by
torturers in a real nightmarish world just next to the one of people with an
acceptable evil/good balance.
Ordinary people can enter horrors with frightening
regularity in wars and glossed-over horrors that surround us.
This descriptive
mention itself is too unpleasant, but poisons or danger must have clear warning
labels.
Some people perpetrate the horrible, but the general public can only
perceive it and immediately look away, rather than inure to it.
Extreme horrors become almost trivial to people that are otherwise shocked by
the sight of spanking a child.
I know no other explanation for the virtual
indifference of the public to the communist horrors in
Russia, China, or those still current in Africa, where millions are dismembering
and machete-slicing each-other slowly, to enjoy the victims’ torture and
prolonged agony.
Clinton’s pilots knew darn well that
their bombs were horribly mutilating and dismembering thousands and thousands of
innocent and hapless Serb civilians, just like sadistic terrorists in
cowardly safety kill innocent hostages to extort ransoms or other conditions.
Clinton’s crime was worse, because of the number of the innocent
victims and the presumption of righteousness by the perpetrators
protected by the detached invulnerability of disinfestation crews.
When
a few terrorists are caught, they are justly punished with execution or life
imprisonment, whereas many perpetrators of thousands of times worse mass
holocausts are left free, forgotten or even rewarded with medals or other
cynical rewards.
“They did it for a cause” “it is for our children…” adds
satanic sarcasm to the
worst evils….
What can be worse? Average
citizens are pacified when any above-described horror is glossed over, for they
refuse to make the impartial mental effort all are capable of, if they really
want.
While they are loftily bored by the mere mention of the atrocities, the
“sophisticated” stampede
enthusiastically into an orgy of righteous condemnation
against a white man accused of touching or addressing a woman “improperly”.
****************************************************************************************************
THE EDUCATION DRAGON
Shallow interpretations of John Dewey’s (1859-1952)
pragmatism induced the decay of American education. Theories that children
should follow their own interests uncontaminated by teachers’ or parents’
guidance are responsible for our virtual loss of coherent education.
The deconstructionist theories that reality and morality are arbitrary social
constructs have positioned “postmodern” educators against guiding reality,
morality and constructive concepts.
Most official teaching establishments are unable to fixate agreed
levels of shared learning as promoters of human progress.
It would be liberating to agree that all American children should know at least
the multiplication table at a certain grade level, or, say, the data of some
historical events, algebra, chemistry, government structure, rivers and
mountains, locations, populations and languages of countries, and plenty of
other non politicized cultural subjects, each as minimum requirement at any
particular level, like fifth, 10th grade, high school diploma, etc. Individual
schools would be free to go beyond and higher, but not below..
Instead of such concerns, media, school boards, politicians only mention
teachers’ salaries, building improvements, classroom size, school board
elections, hiring of special education teachers, and all kinds of subjects
without focus on contents and quality of programs or any curriculum.
Just as witchdoctors used magic words to cure ailments, many modern educators
pretend to remedy problems with competent sounding definitions instead of
solutions they cannot implement.
Moreover, they are trained about teaching, not
about the subjects they teach.
As a child, I brought home from school a diary that allowed my parents to
supervise my school homework, program and texts, from language to history,
Latin, science, math or whatever we studied. It made all the difference in my
behalf.
Nowadays, both parents are too busy with their jobs to pay sufficient and
complete attention to their children.
Like the Japanese or Germans etc., we learned more in poor buildings, with poor
equipment, in classrooms averaging around 40 pupils than in today’s American
public schools, which are the best financed, built and equipped in the world.
All we hear, about improving education, is: buildings, expenditures, teacher
salaries, union requirements, but nothing about the subjects being taught.
“2+2=4” taught in a rickety shack amply beats “2+2=3” luxuriously proclaimed in
a renowned, super-financed, super-equipped university.
Whene I asked the teachers about details of the subjects
being taught to my children in America, I was told too often that they couldn’t describe them because I would not
understand.
*************************************************************************************************
MEDIOCRITY POWER
Organize a society in protected groups
and you obtain balkanized factions, each with a malignant growth within. It is
built in the class struggle-for-rights formula, without any struggle-for-duties.
Then, each group must protect its own voting majority in the crudest way, for
fear that mediocre members won’t cooperate.
Examples: the medical, labor and
teacher unions.
There are many excellent physicians, superb workers, competent
devoted teachers, but they don’t count.
The organizations muzzle, intimidate and
marginalize them.
To wit, the incredible number of deaths caused by medical
errors ( over 98,000 reported in 1999), industries endangered by union demands
and fleeing abroad, and the deplorable status of public education.
The
most incompetent or dishonest often capture the manipulating controls of each
organization.
So far, employers’ organizations have been protected by the
politically nonaligned “Manufacturing”, “Management” designations, instead of
politically semantic tags like “American Employers Association”, which could be
construed as flypaper for the anti-employer bugs.
Bigots apparently believe that the moment
one starts a business, he becomes a greedy abusive creep, who was previously a
“working man” (employers don’t work, of course) in the milk-and-honey unions of
socialist imagery.
Power in the hands of mediocre people not only corrupts, but
mind-numbs them.
I received a letter with infantile insults from a doctor
furious because I called “tacky” a repulsive deceit by some of his friends he
wanted to impress. Just like the self-puffing medic interpreted the AMA
protection with sophomoric hubris, a union leader called “day of infamy” the day
his union’s strike fizzled. Was the employer’s resistance as horrible as Pearl
Harbor’s attack, or was Pearl Harbor as banal as a minor strike?
By the way,
wasn’t FDR suspected of having used Pearl Harbor to cover his bankrupting
welfare economy with the well known war economy boost?
Didn’t Clinton massacre
thousands of innocent Serbians to derail public attention from public
accusations about his alleged raping fornication?
Powerfully backed nobodies may take inspiration from gilded images of infamous
events, but we need to go far beyond the insane excesses of class hatred and the
schmaltzy prescribed “sensitivity” like the queer love between lions and sheep
in Hicks’ paintings.
That’s tacky too.
*************************************************
PATRIARCHY? MATRIARCHY?
In the family violence case, all we do is punish the
man for being physically stronger.
In a marital interaction, both man and woman
may be tempted to use violence when persuasion cannot succeed.
To wit: both
adult males and females use violence or spanking against the little children in
roughly equal shares.
The woman would beat the man to a pulp if she were
stronger, but peace would prevail if patriarchal or matriarchal decisions were
legal and enforceable.
Statistically, both average comparable faults, in
provocation and intention.
Leaving everything else equal, woman would be the
main violence culprit if she were the stronger one.
Man is it now, simply because
he is stronger.
Punishing her or him, therefore, would not resolve the problem
of family violence because it would not remove the cause.
The solution consists
in removing rationalizations and emotions from disputes.
If that is not
possible, the only solution is to let the head of the family decide in
irreconcilable differences, because divorce is only a surrender to failure.
Conclusion: patriarchy or matriarchy?
Matriarchy has been tried and abandoned in
most cultures, either because the woman does not have the physical strength to
enforce her authority, or because the natural woman prefers male authority as such.
Back to
the traditional patriarchal family, then, where a presumably just and loving
father can make the final decisions.
Destroying patriarchy because some fathers
are unworthy throws away the baby with the bath-water, like eliminating courts
of law because of bad judges and lawyers.
Political correctness dictates: man
and woman must be equal in everything. Then, must man and woman have the same
size, strength, voice, appearance, functional levels and gender characteristics?
That may cause human extinction. Guess why…
Does technical progress make us
disregard millennia of family tradition?
Is a modern tramp with a computer better
evolved than an ancient philosopher with an oil lamp?
Even without religion, family is
like a natural sacrament, with the father or mother resolving irreconcilable
differences by judgment.
In that light, using “battered women and children shelters” to help families is
like trying to perform brain surgery with a ultra-feminist sledgehammer.
**************************************************************************************************
SIMPLISTIC ECONOMICS
Suppose the tax burden of the rich goes up to, say, 70%,
depending on income, and the same burden down to zero for the poor. That fits
Socialist justice.
Accordingly, government, politicians and bureaucrats can get
$700 millions tax from someone who earns 1 billion per year.
If “social justice”
reduces the same billionaire’s income to 10 millions and distributes the remaining
990 millions among people who would pay an average, say, 15% tax, any dumb
rocket scientist knows that the government would collect $7 millions (absolute
maximum from the millionaire), plus $115 millions (= 15% of the 1 billion –10
millions = 990 millions, distributed to people in proportion of single incomes
that would produce 15% tax).
Total: $115.5 millions.
In other words, the
government would lose $584.5 millions ($700,000,000 minus $115,500,000).
Perverse math to starve the poor and fatten the rich?
Apparently, until social justice sucks from the rich all the money and “greedy”
motivation to create and produce.
Socialists and communists ended up facing this
brick wall wherever they tried their own social justice.
They blamed the failure to improper application of Socialism.
If they succeed and there are no more “rich” people, they transform the whole
country into a gulag, where everyone has been made poor and must slave for survival.
Beyond that, human nature requires the incentive of special individual rewards,
which is anathema in an equalitarian society.
There, politicians and their enforcers become the apparatchiks of the future,
with the absolute power to keep all “working men and women” on the same
subjugation level.
But they cannot be milked like the rich capitalists, who are the inexhaustible
milk-rich cows of any society.
Hundreds of thousands know it, but there are
billions of gullible people who need to experience it again and again, with the
unpleasant exhortations to learn the truth and exercise vigilance against
predatory demagogues.
They vote for the future apparatchiks, who promise
effortless mirages, with the money of the rich and the utopian advantages
promised and vanishing.
The gullible are the voting majority.
That is why leftist democracies develop into communism and embalm leveling
mediocrity in gulags.
****************************************************
THE ONGOING HOLOCAUST
Who of us would have liked to be aborted?
By present laws, our
mothers could have legally aborted us because they own their own bodies.
Does
the law recognize our mothers’ right, or ours, to commit suicide, adultery,
black plague
or AIDS because we own
our own bodies?
Few cultures would recognize the right to suicide, but none the
right to kill somebody else.
The fetus IS somebody, somebody else or not.
It is one
individual life, not a body excretion.
Postmodernist pro-abortion laws carefully
wallpaper their aim to promote the right to sexual pleasure
for its own sake,
totally and arbitrarily removed from its reproductive consequences.
Yet, the only
purpose nature gives to the sexual pleasure is reproduction of the species.
Its
pleasure is an inducement, not the ultimate goal.
Therefore homosexuality and
masturbation, condemned or condoned, are deviations from
nature’s purpose.
The
necessity of sex for procreation is an obvious biological reality.
Intercourse of
sterile heterosexual couples is condoned because it is still a genuine reproduction
ritual.
But don’t we have the right to enjoy sex?
The same as the right to enjoy
eating for survival and health, but not to indulge in food orgies.
Food gives us pleasure and allows us to survive, but too much food can kill us.
Sex that creates a child
that we will kill, is eminently unnatural, because we cannot create a life just
to kill it afterward.
Creating life is irreversible.
To use another image, we may have the right to
destroy our own car, but not an unwanted person in it.
Moreover, the fetus is
not just some unwanted stranger: it is somebody WE caused to exist, even if
forced, without his asking.
Therefore sex cannot be wanton.
We should do
everything to avoid rape and punish the rapist, but the rape-caused child is
still born by the woman, even if forced on her.
Unjust? Only one-dimensionally,
first because the child is utterly innocent, then because one’s right to survive
overrides man-made justice.
Some exceptional cases may occur, but the exception
doesn’t change the rule or conviction.
Killing a 95-year-lasting life to enjoy a
minute (or less) long sterile pleasure is ghoulish.
Consider that many Arab women go completely veiled to avoid sexual provocation,
while most Western women wear everything possible to stimulate any man’s sexual
concupiscence...

RELENTLESS ULTRA FEMINISM
Traditional feminism aimed to bring man back into the family,
where woman and children thrived with him.
Today’s anti-family feminism,
however, adopts the woman/man equality mask as competition against man in jobs,
professions, military, sports and everything else, with ultra-feminists calling
the shots.
As family, motherhood, and heterosexual love are obviously
against such “feminist” goals, they are seen as slavery to man by the
ultra-feminists.
Falsely claiming to represent women (a majority), today’s gender feminists wheedle the
support of the black community by using the “minority” label.
No-fault divorce
and wanton abortion hammer the nails on family’s coffin.
Like Clinton, modern
feminism also defies honor and morality.
Feminist Nina Burley, of Time
Magazine, stated about Clinton: “I’d be happy to give him [oral sex] just to
thank him for keeping abortion legal”. (What about adding vanilla ice-cream or a
discount coupon?)
Nothing could be more adverse to woman’s essence than a
feminism that promotes homosexual marriages as a weapon against husbands,
fathers and natural family.
First, to fit the anti-family trend, women are
supposed to consider themselves handicapped by their reproductive and nurturing
physiology.
In other words, nature made woman superior, but leftist “feminism”
makes her inferior.
Male chauvinism also contributed to
feminism’s anti-family/anti-woman metamorphosis. ***/
While the traditional meaning
of feminism was used to mislead women, man was undergoing an indoctrination of
guilt and atonement for mankind’s evils.
Since blaming somebody else is
irresistibly easier than self-improvement, patriarchal family and Western
Culture (not those who distort them) become the sacrificial target.
As Marxism
is the best-known trend against both, it remains the refuge of the cultural
misfits.
Supremacy of careerism and marketable productivity over the family and
motherhood becomes the convenient mantra for family and housewife-denigration.
That creates the freakish collusion of the gender feminists with neosocialist,
multiculturalist, anti-male, homosexual, “minority”, anti-religion, abortion,
and amoral activism.
Ultra-feminism apes male chauvinistic goals but declares war to men.
The
pretension that political careers, outer-space technology or circus wrestling
are worthier than nurturing the family and raising children promotes mankind’s
decay and extinction rather than the human progress they purport to create.
IGNORED HISTORY
Ignored history repeats itself.
The compulsion of the
Socialist take-over is old, relentless, and doesn’t need sophisticated
disguises, since most people want to believe what they like to hear.
It doesn’t
have to be honest, since what they crave need not be genuine or beneficial, just
like pleasure needn’t be happiness.
Start with promising instant solutions to
our troubles.
Promise nationalized food, wealth and health for all. But food, wealth or health
just for the asking are no more beneficial than welfare addiction, even if their
popularized image is attuned to a misinformed public.
Rights to
obtain gratification of needs or wishes are easily proclaimed, but they are deceptive
without the appropriate measures of individual merit or initiative.
Nature is a compelling teacher, not a wish-granting nanny.
Those who gain from promising what others have to produce can seldom escape the
addiction to unfettered power.
Whenever laws are made to help any class of
people, politicians and bureaucrats organize, control and enforce them; lawyers,
courts and police reward and punish.
Law is meaningless without enforcement.
Politically based growth spreads
continuously until it enslaves the whole nation.
Politicians soon learn how to
increase and expand their power with rules and laws, as they “help” more voters.
The more they succeed, the more the number of controlling bureaucrats grows, and
the citizens’ freedom shrinks.
Thus starts the “Red Queen Race” (from “Alice in
Wonderland”), as biologists call the antibodies-vs.-bacteria race.
The
antibodies are the citizens who finally react against the political (=bacterial)
take-over of their country (=body) and freedom. Yet, the antibodies have no
chance if the bacteria have had the time and the media to condition the public,
as the leftists are busy doing.
Communism enslaved Russia because millions of
Russians believed and fell for it, until devastation and millions of deaths
opened their eyes.
Nazi ("Nazional") Socialism achieved the same totalitarian plurality
postmodern socialists are attempting to achieve worldwide.
Socialism can only succeed as national socialism, which can only succeed by
enslaving the nation.
At present, leftist
media can already manipulate most of our citizenry to become a lynching mob or a
sheepish herd. Our Constitution protects us against both by giving the last word
to the law, not to programmed majorities.
The Senate did precisely the latter in
Clinton’s unimpeachment non-process.
Well, lawyers and politicians can transform the rule of the law into the rule of
the lawyers> The rest is easy...
DISPUTABLE SELF-EVIDENCE
Fetishism for equality and “inalienable rights” for whatever
we like impedes progress and sanity themselves.
Reality and causes/effects
cannot be changed, such as dependence of knowledge and creative success on
personal efforts.
The voter-pampering necessity prevents politicians from
advocating self-discipline and commensurate work toward results.
One would hope
that better results be allowed to those who deserve them. Winners and losers
benefit from leadership or other help by the gifted citizens.
Actually, there
are really no losers if we avoid feeling deprived just because others have more
of what is available for those who achieve more.
If somebody is better than I,
that doesn’t make me worse than I am.
Furthermore, it shows me a guide for
self-improvement, if I want it.
Resentment toward the more fortunate or deserving person is a
weakness to overcome, not a right to cut him down to our level of misfortune.
Governments that want to correct the situation can only
spread poverty or unhappiness, not produce wealth or happiness.
Installed
utopias have failed and repeatedly proven that life is evolutionary, and
evolution includes unceasing competition toward whatever is better or desirable.
Static utopia becomes hell.
Without society, losers in the competition are
simply sacrificed.
Society introduces general protection and dignity, but it
never eliminates competition. Every time it tries, it ends up dragging the
winner into the loser pit.
What then?
First of all, allow the winner to succeed,
lest progress be eliminated also for the losers.
The problem is that the judges
in the process are politicians. Most of them emerge in proselytizing,
debilitating and vote-getting help for losers, not in producing or creating.
Creative politicians are the most feared by the parasites and political
partisans, whose voting number is overwhelming.
Therefore the latter develop the
most intricate ways of distorting the truth and convincing their followers to do
the same.
Who succeeds in that?
The answer seems to be in the quip that we have
2 parties: the evil and the stupid.
The only hope is better education.
We need genuine teachers, teachers’ teachers
and teachers’ teachers’ deprogrammers.
What if the process is so long...
Do we want to waste two or more generations because we can not wait half of one
generation?
CURE ALCOHOLISM WITH BOOZE
When St. Francis Xavier (1506-1552 A.D.) was in Japan in the 16th century
as a Christian missionary, he assured the consternate converts that their
ancestors were in hell, because they died un-baptized, regardless of their
innocent unawareness of Christianity.
This paradox doesn’t disturb those who
think that God is to be feared and worshiped beyond right and wrong.
Then, where
do love and justice fit in this scenario?
Punishments for previous sinful lives?
Does God reveal the rules after the game?
Does He makes the life rules for the
living after they are dead?
Thomas Aquinas’s (1224-1274 A.D.) “Summa Theologica” (written 300 years before) did not explain
that conundrum.
Protestants came later and fogged-up everything with
denominational interpretations that later happened to conform to democratized
religion.
Democratized religion?
Similarly to the Inquisition, pundits arbitrate absolute rights and
disputes, or embrace a love that infuses righteous hatred against those who
don’t love according to fashionable (hidden or not) rules.
The protestant Bob Jones S. Carolina
university proclaims that the Catholic pope is an agent of Satan on Earth,
echoing the unquenchable hostility of the Orthodox Church against
Catholicism.
Then, consider the Crusades (11th to 13th centuries) and the
hideous 1618-1648 Catholic-Protestant “30-Year War” in North Europe, just as an
example where both Catholics and Protestants practiced from torture to even cannibalism against
each other.
Not even religious shysters can rationalize that. Or can they?
Other religions were, and are, either worse or no better.
The recent
public apology of the Catholic pope for the past Christian injustices and
persecutions against the Jews is a stunningly historic event, but it is rejected by
hostile bigots.
The lyric “I believe in a cruel God” in an Italian opera
reverberates tragic desperation.
So, we are left to our poorly equipped wits.
We
have already fallen into the habit, in most churches, of trying to justify the
laws of God or the Bible with pseudo-philosophical statements by clergymen who
reflect a popularized theology with gilded claptrap.
We have come down to
lionized mediocrities like Bill, Hillary and Al, chosen by manipulated
majorities.
Add political ambulance chasers, monochrome “rainbow coalitions”,
and gender/race/minority pimps, impregnated with hostility.
Our main problem is
education, but politicians expect educational solutions from the same
perpetrators of today’s postmodernist educational malignancy.
Considering our educational system, that is no better than curing alcoholism
with booze.
EVEN ROUSSEAU...AND THE BIBLE
Rousseau’s (1712-1778 A.D.) mantra “Man was born free, but
everywhere he is in chains” was born inside its own logical trap: who chained man? Is
the chaining man bad and the chained man good?
History shows evidence of their
interchangeability.
The Bible says that also the Jews massacred entire
populations of towns and territories they conquered: no better than Hitler,
considering the times and means. I
t is all in the Old Testament.
Men are born with good and
dark sides (see: YIN/YANG).
Education should develop the good and restrain the bad with reward
and punishment.
You don’t tell a baby that he is deprived of a stock option, or
give him a pedagogic lecture, when he misbehaves: you punish him or give him an unpleasant
physical experience he can understand. Yet, fashionable psychology has outlawed
“corporal restraints”.
Knowledge is also dispensed on successive levels of
corresponding responsibility.
Just as you don’t teach calculus to one who
doesn’t know arithmetic, you don’t give condoms or guns to children who cannot
yet control their instincts and emotions.
The greatest achievement of mankind,
Western Culture, is so high that it requires disciplined learning, like most
great developments.
Fittingly, mankind has a longer evolving childhood than
other forms of life. Thus, the learning required to master Western culture is
proportionately demanding according to the level one wants to achieve in it.
It
is a hierarchical process that places persons on the level of responsibility
corresponding to their sophistication.
Social structure, consequently, must be
up to par; but it is not, in the present ideological stages: socialism and
liberalism.
In both, there is the reluctance against having to learn self
discipline.
In both systems, the tendency leads to leadership based on a
majority of mediocre people supporting them by force or by vote.
In both cases,
knowledge of the past and reality exerts an uncomfortable restraint on the class
that rules by propaganda, votes and/or force.
Solution?
Some try to create an atmosphere
bowing to instant knowledge, manipulated statistics, distortions of reality that
facilitate ruling propaganda, “deconstruction” of Western Culture that defines
truth and its morality as “social constructs”, and history as distortion of
reality.
Call it relativism, postmodernism or liberalism, and Goddess bless you.
NO END OF HISTORY
The French Revolution (18th-19th century) was defined “the end
of history” by the philosopher Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831 A.D.), who thought social
evolution culminated there. We know how it fizzled.
Our contemporary Francis
Fukuyama defined democracy as the end of history.
Today’s events, however, show
that democracy self destructs if it is not competently controlled, or blows
itself into an enormous despotic bubble that is crushed by its own malignancy,
as the Soviet Union did. Russia and East Europe are facing an incompetent
self-destruct phase again. So, there goes the end of history.
Teylhard de
Chardin, French Jesuit paleontologist/philosopher, described, in “The Phenomenon
of Man”, an “Omega point” as the ultimate development in spiritual and social
convergence of all human evolution currents.
That is more convincing, because
the “Omega point” resembles the point where parallel lines meet: a true goal
beyond reach, where the end of history should be.
Meanwhile, we are still in a
primitive stage in which what Hegel calls “the need for recognition” is one of
our basic needs.
What about the countless great human beings who were
neither recognized nor recorded?
Most of them gained strength and evolved as
they gave, created and helped.
Their true stature was increased not only by what
they gave, but also by their indifference to recognition.
We don’t know them, but their greatness cannot be diminished by the little we
would understand of them.
Recognition-independent growth already happens to us in
reproduction and parenthood, where we gain as we generate our progeny and enrich
ourselves as we give, without thought of reward or recognition.
The need for
recognition may keep us on a comparatively primitive level, like the narcissistic
phase Freud attributes to babies.
Men are often satisfied or hostile (to the
point of mass murders) because somebody else is worse or better off.
We should
nurture our own individual progress and contribution, regardless of whether we
are the privileged or disadvantaged, recognized or not, inferior or superior,
victims or oppressors.
Our need for individual evolution and progress is the
same whether other persons are better, the same or worse than we. [351]
THE INDISSOLUBLE UNITY
Imagine an all-powerful matchmaker computer database that
continuously records the characteristics and developments of each person on
Earth.
It would show that, on April 22, the best mate for Sue Lxx, of Hong Kong,
would be Jack Cbbbb, Kenosha, Wisconsin. So, they marry. June 18, however,
personality evolution makes Andres Vddd of Barquisimeto, Venezuela, more
suitable. Logically (?), divorce and remarriage can correct the situation…
Accordingly, one would change mates dozens of times in life, because we change
continuously.
One operating field was left out of the database as an un-computed
post-wedding extrapolation: marriage interaction.
That is like a third entity
resulting from the Sue/Jack mating: not physical but just as real as Sue and
Jack.
An entity that would endure even if Sue and Jack divorced.
It is, in
essence, as real as a marriage-generated child, but not equally definable.
Thus,
we must stop the computer and define the new parameters, so that the database
can function credibly.
These parameters must include sub-parameters we attempt to
express in “until death does us part”, “let no man cut asunder….”, “family”,
“indissoluble”, “I’m yours and you’re mine”.
We have not defined them yet.
Fittingly, this happens only when the spouses understand or believe in it.
That belief is a
reality we create, as concrete as life or death.
It exists and creates just like
life itself, but in its newborn dimensions.
True marriage is
something more than judges or lawyers could establish.
There is something
mysterious and sacred in it.
To use an honored definition, let’s call it
“sacrament”.
Belief makes it real, with or without a religion.
Those who don’t
believe in it cannot obtain what they reject a priori.
That explains why some
marriages are impregnable fortresses.
This is a compelling example of real
existence created from our convictions.
It is understandable even without
religion.
We could expand it to asserting that religion is its most
popular expression.
Too abstract?
Well, then consider the basic materialization
of marriage: children.
Divorce in an indissoluble marriage could prove to be as
logical as cutting each of its children in half. [350]
SELF IMPROVEMENT IN GIVING
When I was a little boy, I worshipped my parents. That worship
was a precious inspiration upward.
Father/mother worship is now replaced by an expected
frustration if children cannot compete with daddy or mom.
The Christian exhortation “love
thy enemy” is much more sophisticated than generally understood.
It is a sublime
form of selflessness that enriches and empowers us beyond description.
The
“enemy” is also the one I compete with, or the one who is better than I.
Resenting the better one is self defeating and obtuse.
My goodness and absolute
worth are not diminished if anyone or even everybody is better than I.
The more
people are better than I, the more they can help or motivate me to improve
myself.
I could not be helped as much if I were the best in the world.
Again, if
I were the best, I would only gain and grow by helping others without expecting
recognition and/or reward.
We notice that giving increases our value and power
every time we do it genuinely.
That is immeasurably more than what the "do-gooder" does.
Giving, teaching and helping are in the same
style of parenting life or creating without demanding compensation.
The woman
who bears and/or raises children is the obvious evidence.
The natural
environment for this giving, or love-power, is the family.
Yet, postmodern
psychology/philosophy/politics dictate that family is a democracy, in which all
are equal, but armed with mutually competing rights, which ultimately turn
against society and civilization itself.
A known case in point is Clinton. His
family resembles a contrived democracy with loyalties and betrayals as
expedient. His ethics and morality contaminate society, politics and
rationalizes appalling deeds.
He could have helped Albania, the Kosovar
refugees and Serbia simultaneously, without massacres and destruction. But he
craved for the theatrical massacres that could cover his boundless cynicism and
moral distortions. [299]

*****************************************************************************************
MORE ABOUT SOCIALISM & CAPITALISM
The silly logic of the statement “Capitalism’s moral
imperative is: Buy low, sell high”, makes the law “Opposite electric charges
attract, same-sign charges repel each other “ sound “homophobic”.
First,
capitalism, is no morality design, but an economic system about production of
wealth.
That is as much capitalism’s strength as the pretension of being a
moral, economic, social, political and quasi-religious doctrine is the weakness
of leftist liberalism.
Originally, Marxism was an economic philosophy with
social implications about production of wealth.
Then, socialism and communism
politicized it to the dogmatic level of poorly educated politicians and
bureaucrats.
Therefore, “liberal” (hijacked term) democrats can get away with
their absolutistic relativism or postmodernism oxymorons.
Only lack of
traditional humanistic education makes such cultural freaks possible.
Tradition
contains the best evolutionary impulse, for progress is radically improved by
knowledge of previous achievements, but it must be learned.
The
instant-knowledge pretension of the “culturally challenged” almost immunizes
them against any possibility of redemption.
Historically, as capitalism produces
wealth, socialism spreads poverty.
Typical flipflop.
Capitalism tends to
concentrate prosperity in the hands of wealth producers, but offers an open door
to the poor toward riches, at worst primarily to create new customers.
That is
the best equalizing mobility known.
Socialism equalizes society downward,
presumably because “the rich are greedy”, or because it is “socially just”, but
demonizing the rich and their properties hinders becoming rich, thereby denying
the motivation and rewards for excellence. Or worse, it arbitrarily decides the
power and social level of citizens beyond the judging competence of politicians
and bureaucrats.
Only one who has lived in a socialist “democracy” has a working
experience of how nightmarish it can be.
The claim that capitalism victimizes
the poor is an anti-historical fraud.
Capitalism can only survive if it opens
prosperity to the poor.
No capitalist state has massacred the poor
as the Soviets, the Chinese and other socialist “champions of the poor” have
done, to an astounding scholarly proven total to be at least 80 (probably even
120) million deaths between 1917 and 1997.
What does it take to make the
leftists realize this widely exposed fact? [355]
THE NEW ROME
America has been called the “new Rome” for many obvious
reasons.
The fact that Rome’s scenario was Europe, the Mediterranean and
surrounding areas, and America’s the world, recalls also the fall of Rome and
barbaric invasions, with subsequent millennium of dark ages, because of
balkanization of the Europe the Romans had civilized and unified.
USA is trying
to do the same on a global scale, but they are falling into the same cultural
hypochondria that affected the Roman empire toward the end.
As the Roman emperor
recurred to “bread and circus” to divert the attention of the populace from his
moral turpitude, so did Clinton fabricate the recently debunked “holocausts” in
Yugoslavia to justify his diverting massacres of Serbians to cover up his own
crimes.
After this, consider the constantly growing denigrations of the American
culture by the anti-Western culture interests, just like the anti-Roman
propaganda on the 4th and 5th centuries A.D.
Add today’s great migrations of
“developing countries”, like the “barbarians” that destroyed the Roman cohesion.
We don’t seem to perceive it as here described, just as the Romans didn’t toward
the end.
The fact that the “barbarians” were not perceived as such then,
parallels today’s lame awareness of what may be going on worldwide, obviously in
different shape as different from then as airplanes and nuclear devices are
different from the horses and swords of 1600 years ago. [231]
Sanctimonious decay
. We interpret French Revolution’s
“Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité” as “Liberté, Egalité, Droits”, that is: “Liberty,
Equality, Rights”.
The French revolutionaries showed murderous revenge based on
improvised rights rather than brotherhood, but the intellectual legacy remained
officially focused on the brotherhood that the Socialists later submerged under
hatred atrocities.
The focus on Rights, rather than Brotherhood, has produced
hostility and organized hatred for those who question or overlook the right
demands by the likes of politicized categories, organized minority groups and
militant deviants.
Hatred so pervasive that “political correctness” denies
fundamental freedoms like opinions, jobs, speech, careers and activities to
those who don’t fully agree.
Even high-level professional associations adopt defensive hostility, no matter
how unintended, rather than the shared love implicit in Brotherhood.
Crime-dominated organizations (self-defined as “families”)
assume the “Brotherhood” definition, just like ruthless communist dictatorships
adopted the “democracy” label.
Their abuses and crimes are committed in the name of sanctified “rights”.
The family itself is being disintegrated by litigious rights of any member who
obtains government or legal assistance, with politicians and attorneys
pretending lofty inspirations.
Law’s devotion to the “adversary system” sidesteps the concept of justice by
mutating the “Court of Justice” into “Court of Law”, which prescribes that
judges and legal disputes be guided by rules rather than morality.
There is a sarcastic logic in it, because only logic can dispute, whereas
morality harmonizes more naturally with brotherly love.
A random example of the incredible facility of blowing rights claptraps from
priggish righteousness into colossal consequences is the creation of the Balkan
ethnic smorgasbord from the dismembering of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire
ordered by the Versailles treaty in 1918.
Austria-Hungary was fostering cultural brotherhood and mutual integration of the
Balkan ethnic groups, whereas Versailles imposed the vicious interplay of
separate national ethnic rights.
Clinton’s 1999 intervention mutated the Balkan conflicts into festering
nightmares.
That is history, the teacher of life.
Public schools’ burying history in “social studies” outrages the wary, but the
leftist pseudo intellectuals parade a pompous boredom about “that old stuff”.
“Let’s move on” they preach, and paint themselves into their corner of
sanctimonious disintegration. [349]
CUSTOMIZED RELIGION
Both post-modern religionists and atheists are becoming
dangerous for us.
Years ago, I drove the famed atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair
from the Chicago airport to the Loop, where she announced to her public that I
was her representative for Illinois.
I denied it vehemently, for we couldn’t
formulate a convincing description of God to give realistic meaning to the word
“atheist”.
Religionists couldn’t either. And I am neither.
The more relativistic religionists become, the
more they deviate from theology itself.
Political correctness tends to transform
religion into an opportunistic craft devoid of cultural content.
“Pray to God
and She will listen” is not less ridiculous than “Pray….and He will listen”,
because, unlike man, God needs no reproductive gender.
A He-God is a god man has
made in his own image…
Therefore Nietzsche complained, “God is dead”.
Since many
“believers” presume to interpret God without His guidance, we have theological
blunders from the ambivalence toward love and intolerance to the moronic
statement that love between God and man is homosexual because it is “between two
males”.
Church democratization makes a congregation fire the minister who
doesn’t preach what pleases them, or impose previously outlawed rules because
“times change”.
Thus, God’s will, Bibles and catechisms about eternal truths are
changed by man when God is presumed to lose touch. Would that give us reasons to
become atheists? In so doing, however, we would only deny a white-bearded
man-like old god who throws lightnings and opens the Red Sea to let the Jews
pass, for he knows not how captain Kirk does his “energize” trick.
Who needs
such god or atheism? Should we become agnostic [that is: convinced that man
cannot know whether God exists] simply because we cannot define God, a culture
or whatever we describe without first knowing it?..
On the other hand, living
without religion needs a virtue and knowledge that are self-sufficient. We have
neither.
We must still learn to use true knowledge. Yet, religion is a godsend
to eliminate interminable discords about “virtue” and “sin”, duties and rights.
That infuriates the politically correct relativists, who excommunicate everybody
who disputes them. [348]
ENGLISH AND CULTURE
****/ The English language is a superb example of human
sophistication. Its development was smooth and free because it was unhampered by
preconceived regulations (aesthetic or otherwise) that straightjacketed other
languages.
“Romance” (exclusively Latin-derived) languages, for instance, are constrained by
Academies that control proper grammar and aesthetics.
The English tendency to
shorten words to mono-syllables, to reduce the 16-forms German article to just
“the”, simplify the verbs, make the adjectives one-gender/one-number etc. and
simultaneously creating an unmatched versatility with free expression an almost
a miraculous achievement.
English is now being severely contaminated by the
malignancy of political correctness.
He-or-she, his-or-her (instead of “he”,
“his”), person (instead of “man”) for instance, pretty soon will apply to God
and His-or-Her love for “personkind”. The media have frivolously adopted
“African-American” to replace “black” and committed two blatant stupidities.
First, it implies that “black” is bad or unmentionable, which is absurd.
Second,
it is misleading, because Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and other
African areas are not black.
Then, why not the more precise “Sub-Sahara-West-African-American”?
Even worse, because the black Americans I know are more American-American than
the other ethnics who came to USA after them.
Then, what about the blacks whose
forefathers didn’t come from Africa? Some say we all came from Africa. Then, why
bother with the cumbersome “African-American” designation at all? Some try to
correct the PC trend with “representative”, “consultant” instead of
“salesperson”, "copulation executive" instead of "prostitute", but it reveals the limited imagination of the conformists.
Others
embrace an affirmative-action style remedy of changing the all-gender “he” and
“his” to “she” and “her”, such as : “Everybody should get her health care free”.
It is like curing a diabetic with sugar.
One cannot help being repelled by the
blatant provocation against the imaginary “white male chauvinism” no one meant
before.
For reasons obvious to all but to the feminazis and fanatic PCniks, the
“Pray to God and She will listen” creates a boorish defiance where there has
never been any chauvinism other than a language reflection of an innocent
linguistic expediency sophisticated men and women have approved before.
Improving the English spelling and pronunciation would be enormously smarter.

******************************************************************************************************
GODDESS IN PARENTHESIS
One of the best methods to increase sex fascination is to make it less available by forbidding it or making it a sin in undesirable circumstances. Easy availability, repetition with the same person, frequenting nudist colonies etc. reduce or neutralize sex attraction.
What follows is known and seldom mentioned.
One
basic corruption of the human situation is the narcissistic eroticization of the
man- woman relationship.
In reality, man and woman with their interaction are
the basic and complete essence of humanity, culture, family, morality and
history.
They are now seen like 2 children playing in the sandbox of life,
in which sex is the sand and everything else is under the pall of competitive
legal rights.
It makes no sense. Should it make sense?
Our man/woman rules are based on assumptions that are little more
than infantile, as wishful as eternal youth.
Sex makes the
life-and-death difference, but far more than as a source of pleasure.
The meanings of MAN and WOMAN are distorted, even if we consider sex alone.
A
one-minute copulation can involve woman for over 20 years with child, without
man even remembering it.
Reproduction needs man’s craving and potency,
regardless of woman’s desire or mere awareness.
Man has to prove himself and
perform all his life.
Not woman.
Woman is the existential metaphor: all she needs is to
exist, for she is born virtually complete, finished, and yet free to develop
further.
She is Mother Nature, normally symbiotic with her children.
Man
appears superior: one man can produce even more than one thousand children.
One
superwoman cannot produce more than a maximum of about 30-40 children (theoretically more if
all twins, triplets etc.), no matter with how
many men.
Woman’s advantage is precisely that all she needs is one child to
be Mother Nature.
There is no Father Nature, no matter how many children man can generate.
Since woman’s superiority
recognition could alienate and neuter man, she nurtures his conditional and
useful superiority.
Therefore matriarchy was always a welcome failure and
patriarchy a convenient success.
Ours is a temporary period in history in which
both woman and man sacrifice woman/man symbiosis on the altar of an “equality”
and independence that only produces hostile “woman rights” and man's desertion.
The eternal “I am
yours and you are mine”, where poetry and reality fuse, becomes a bureaucratized
psychological taboo.
“No-fault divorce” destroys 90 families for the ten it
amputates, deprives children of a potential parental attitude and sacrifices
traditional manhood.
Man’s sacrificial "superiority" is not new.
Some Calicut (Malabar in India) tribe used to anoint a man as king and slaughter
him after 12 years (it also happened in Africa and ancient America).
He was superior, as king.
All obeyed his whims. But he was sacrificed
for the survival of his slaves.
Christianity was called “slaves’ religion”,
because the slaves were the last, but ultimately the first.
We affirm, with
condescension, that insects will inherit the Earth. We imply some dark humor in
it, but beetles are already underway…
Probably outer-space beetles have
already invaded our planet, and we don’t know…
And we still think man is the
king of the universe.
Is a sadistic god (-dess) playing with us?

****/ According to the relativists and their leftist allies,
the Shakespearean Hamlet monologue has no more relevance than Donald Duck’s
quack. Both expressions are supposed to be “different and equal”.
Similarly,
rapists could be either high priests of an erotic cult or copulation executives.
Political panderers equate gay and heterosexual marriages.
Yet, they could
define a gay-concubinage as such, instead of claim-jumping on marriage.
That
would reduce the outrage and adopt a smug dignity in a “multiculturalism”
pattern, where all life styles are equal, just like the cultures, with the
Western Culture the least equal, because all nations end up adopting it.
My
birthplace’s original culture was fortunately assimilated by the Romans 23
centuries ago after its brief interlude of fraternization with the
Carthaginians, who used to throw babies into Moloch’s flaming furnace to placate
the gods.
Cultural patterns are normally mutated and/or assimilated, not
embalmed alive in multicultural fetishism.
They risk promoting plagues to save
“endangered species”, like the malaria mosquito and the birds that eat it, both
“endangered” by the DDT insecticide.
So, environmentalists commit the
multi-Holocaust of millions of humans with malaria, to save the mosquitoes and
feed some birds.
That is undoubtedly more lethal than the cultural patterns of
amputating a petty thief’s hands, “sati” jump of the widow into the deceased
husband’s burning pyre, old widespread Amerindian cannibalism, Incas or Mayas
human sacrifices, African slavery and massacres, torture, infibulation
(mutilating female circumcision).
Hopefully, the old Polynesian ritual torture
of slowly pulling the intestines out of living prisoner’s bodies through the
rectum cannot claim
equality with Judeo-Christian rituals. But its faithful would claim equal
“right” to existence.
Gruesome?
Well, call it multiculturalism, and it sounds
proper.
In its name, any weirdo can claim righteous equality.
Many are
struggling to transform feminism into the so-called “feminazism”, which is
waging war against family, men and heterosexuality.
The Brooklyn Museum’s fight
for artistic equivalence exposed the Virgin Mary surrounded by elephant
excrement, rotting genitals, maggots feasting on bovine heads, and other
expressions of degenerate adult infantilism.
With Hillary’s approval, Clintonian
explanations will “differently and equally” fascinate the postmodernists and
disgust the opponents. [349]
****/ The time children spend absorbing intense television messages is remarkably longer than their bland communications with their parents. Therefore the media tend to exert more influence than the parents on the children. The ominous consequences of this fact reach much further than suspected. Considering the intensity and effectiveness of media (and allied schools) “children-formatting” persuasion, the time mothers and fathers must dedicate to the children to counter outside brainwashing is such that both parents wouldn’t have any time for anything else. Unless other methods are found, which exclude government and media intrusion, as well as schools, teacher unions and politically correct churches, we might slouch into self-obliteration. Some are resigned to thinking that all we can do is our best. It is much more serious. Without reproduction, life is just a figment of our defunct imagination. In comparison, everything else, from business to religions, is less than an unperceivable rock. You, I, everyone are the result of reproduction. Where do we get the right to consider anything as worthy equal time as (let alone more than) our children and family? The cultural pattern that kept the woman at home and the man as her provider/protector was natural, but misinterpreted, by both man and woman, into giving a higher status to the man’s protective function than to the woman’s direct nurturing of the progeny. Therefore the fire, wheal, tools, language, philosophy, science, and… computers, ended up taking the place of the children and family. And God surrendered to the parish. God has become just a word that has been popularized to the lowest intelligence level possible. Many ministers are simply fired if they don’t think and preach what their congregations like. Their necessity to make a living overwhelms their theological integrity, and many sink into sewer-level religion, with circus-barker oratory and silly theatricals attuned to the teenagers, hippies, old people, organized people or other categories who vote for and pay the surviving minister.

****/ In 218-201 BC, my native Italian town sided with Carthage against Rome. Fortunately it lost, became Roman and avoided the Carthaginian custom of burning live babies in the temple furnace to propitiate the god Moloch. Thus the Roman created civilization by conquering, civilizing and elevating others into shared citizenship. Before Rome, Europe was just an Asiatic peninsula, and would still be today, with hordes of Mongols and other nomadic tribes roaming through its uncharted areas. Indeed, 2,000-3,000 more years of what had been stagnating for over 15,000 years would have passed unnoticed. We can see the pattern still today in enormous areas in southern Siberia. America would still be a marginal continent like 6 centuries ago. Even Greece would have been swallowed into oblivion, had Rome not resurrected it in the 3rd century BC. Rome conquered, built, civilized the conquered populations and bestowed them Roman citizenship. That was the core of the stunning cultural development called Europe or Western Culture, which then transformed the whole world. Of course, I’m saying nothing new. The new phenomenon was the integration of multicultural units into a unifying interaction that evolved civilizations without destroying them, and promoted synergistic developments facilitated by one common culture. America has done similarly until about 50 years ago. Many called it the new Rome. Then, a slow decay began almost unnoticed. Those who couldn’t master the majestic patrimony of western Culture adopted the escape of disparaging it in favor of instant solutions called Multiculturalism, Postmodernism, Neomarxism, etc. When barbarians invaded the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD, they found Roman culture too complex, and were left with their rudimental freedom, independence, and religious superstitions. Thanks to Christianity and Latin language as unifying and interacting factors, Europe found its own pattern above the pre-Roman fragmented barbarism. Yet, they could not preserve the level of the Roman Culture, and plunged into over a millennium of multicultural fragmentation known as “Dark Ages”. Shall we do the same? To do the same now, all we need is Clinton’s approach: disparage Western Culture in favor of the easy post-modernism and Balkanize the world into new barbarism. [353]
Clinton’s unimpeachment added more Faustian victims to the Clinton curse: the Democrats and Republicrats. They sold their soul and future to save their reelection, which they associated with Clinton’s success. By refusing to see live witnesses that would legitimate both House and Senate impeachment processes, they transformed Clinton’s impeachment into an unconstitutional non-process. Furthermore, prosecutor Starr focused on the fornication perjury instead of the important Whitewater, Filegate, Travelgate, Hubbelgate, Chinagate, .suspicious deaths, suicides, blatant disappearances, 5th-amendment invocations, and criminal money manipulations. Then, keeping a president because he was elected and popular was like avoiding convicting a murderer because he was raised free and gregarious. Consequently, the White House is cleared as a safe privatized Presidential cathouse, and obstruction of justice or even rape can be unimpeachable. Now the 85% liberal media can hoodwink the public easier with Clintonian indoctrination. TV, radio and printed media distort the truth and neutralize independent thinking. Children are told -rather than taught- by teachers and bureaucrats how to deal with truth, sex, morality, and to perform parentectomy. We are creating intellectual and moral zombies to be animated, used and destroyed by satanic puppeteers. To wit: House democrats officially denounce his moral turpitude in contemptuous terms, formulate the most severe censure, and then go straight to the White House to offer him their disposable servitude. Clinton hijacked the republican programs he had opposed before, took the merit of their success, and the republicans were inexplicably unable to show the truth. Those who search behind his mask are persuaded that he pursues our culture’s “deconstruction” predicated by the “post-modern socialism”, which is spreading in Europe and is already contaminating our laws, the American family and the tenured academia. He is allied with anti-male/anti-family/pro-lesbian gender feminists, race-exploiting demagogues and other leftists, callously wasting lives and billions in the Balkans and Middle-East, risking to provoke a third world war, while neglecting our survival armaments. Clinton apologists believe in the superficiality of the American public, and they count on it. The republicans insist on believing they can address the intelligent minority. [340]

To elaborate: I was raised under Mussolini and Hitler. “You don’t know who I am” was a warning I loathed. The stupider the speaker sounded, the more afraid I was that he would be an instrument of merciless evil powerfully protected by the big bureaucrats he was anointed by. Sodom and Gomorrah are not a reality of only 3-4000 years ago: they were, are and will be with us, especially if we don’t notice them. And they are carefully disguised as beneficial protectors of public welfare. I may be free to speak now, but you may find me and/or yourself in a detention confinement tomorrow, with all contrived proofs that we are rightfully and mercifully held there for our own protection, in spite of what we claim. If it is true, why don’t I quit provoking those who one day will come and get us there? Because no one (including themselves) knows how stupid or powerful they are, and what can provoke or intimidate them. They are too powerful but also insecure about using a power that their rat-race comrades can twist against them. Finally, rather than being a hero, I am more afraid of cowardice than of defiance. If I was tortured, and they stopped, it was not because of my resistance (I just didn’t have the information they wanted), but for the fear that my death would terminate their power over me. Look at Linda Tripp. When they found out what she knew, she was marked by the Clintonian Mafia. She thought the only thing she could come up with: getting evidence from those (including Monica) who tried to force her to falsely testify in their favor or else. By hook and crook? She tried Starr and was encouraged to collect evidence with a tape recorder. Now she is alone, menaced from all sides, under imminent indictment under obscure laws no one used before. Now, watch her destruction. I received a plea to contribute to her gigantic defense expenses, before it is too late. Meanwhile, after Clinton’s unimpeachment, some “(Clinton’s) lawmakers” traveled to Cuba to familiarize themselves with (Castro’s) communism…" (K.N. 990221). [350]
A phone-caller who accused me of “homophobia” felt unforgivably insulted by my: “are you a homosexual”? A gay reader (courageously anonymous) accuses me (by name) of “referring to homosexuality as an incurable misfortune” (incorrect) and “a deviation to be corrected” simultaneously. Then he explains genetics by muddling it up, attributes to me the homosexual anxiety about their population percentage, and other nonsense. Male homosexuality advocates anal and oral sex between males, which is at least statistically abnormal, much more than heterosexual adultery. The moral potential adulterer handles his temptation with abstinence, self-gratification or psychotherapy. There are many more potential adulterers than homosexuals, and adultery is much more chastised than homosexuality. Homosexual couples display such mind-boggling promiscuity that, if married, they would avalanche divorce courts and divorce lawyers would outnumber all other professions. Which means that homosexual “marriages” would need such special laws that they would differ from normal marriages as much as eggplants from flashlights. And they shouldn’t fear that the normal men would claim-jump them, a privilege no hetero would crave for. Reproductive family is the proven natural nucleus of society. The homosexual intercourse is anti-family (or family hijacking) because of its very nature. Sexual pleasure without the connected capability of reproduction has no chance of normality, because it has no biological justification. In other words, whereas the normal reproductive intercourse inspires the stable and indissoluble family, homosexual intercourse without the attributes of the reproductive family is unnatural and misleading. Moreover, its pretension to raise children with two fathers or two mothers is not only paradoxical, but also conducing to human extinction or decay. The male semen is destined to be introduced into the life-generating female body, not into a male body cavity which has preposterously different functions. Not even religion is needed to explain what the Bible calls “abominable”. Besides, most religions and cultures consider the sin abominable, not the sinner who can be helped, although lynch mobs and bigots think differently. As to the “10%” homosexual population (truly under 2%), it was Dr. Kinsey’s (himself statistically abnormal) extrapolation from his abnormal subjects, therefore statistically fraudulent. [349]
The manic persistence of homosexuals to perpetuate a bellicose defense against hypothetical “homophobic” attacks shows that they must even invent heterosexual hostility in order to play the warring victims who are ostentatiously proud of being homosexual. Their claim that homosexuality is genetic immutability not only presupposes that they are being challenged by people who don’t give a damn, as it has been for millennia, but it shows a guilt complex without which their claim is totally irrelevant. On the other hand, we could consider that psychopaths, sadists, kleptomaniacs, pedophiles, nymphomaniacs, and armies of deviants or victims of any unorthodox tendency could adopt the same genetic claim. Therefore, one of their main purposes is to be recognized “normal” and “10% of the population”, as “stated in books” without any professional or historical value. Pollsters and scientific investigations have found no more than 1-2 % genuine homosexuals. Anyone can find such evidence in serious research. A responsible census would confirm the truth, but they avoid it. Sorted persons don’t proclaim a “normality” or genetic factors hardly anyone ever worries about. Nor would I ever go to seminars, conferences, conventions for short people. If I did, I would make a ridiculous problem out of a factor of insignificant size compared with life reality, purposes and achievements. Should a pebble or diamond feel inferior to a rock? It depends on arbitrary perspectives. Confine homosexuals on an island, and they will be extinct in one generation. Does it disturb them? Then, go, get a heterosexual partner and procreate artificially, because homosexuality is as sterile as masturbation. Now, who is proud of that and wants to couple with another of the same sex and adopt children and be “role models” to those hapless children? And there are churches that sanctify that. It is a free country with people who have the right to oppose or accept it. Militant homosexuality is as globally disliked as militant masturbation. [323] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the gays openly fight the Christians, especially the Catholics, Evangelists, Mormons, Fundamentalists, Pentecostals, also the Orthodox Jews and Muslims,. Subconscious masochism waiting for backlash? If they win, is it homosexual heroism or coward dishonesty of their opponents? Even universities are afraid to concede that heterosexuality could be considered morally or evolutionarily superior because their sexual intercourse is the only survival of mankind, whereas homosexual sex is characterized by sterile anal and oral intercourse. Where are philosophical, theological, historical or specifically cultural foundations of homosexuality? Even official recognition by pro-homosexuality organizations lacks serious foundations’ integrity. With the present cowardice of the politically correct religionists, bureaucrats and officials, the gays will probably win, and their victory will be sustained for one or perhaps more generations in limited areas. Yet the gays would remain unhappy often toward a suicidal level. The reason is that the religionists appeal to the numbers of paying volatile church members, rather than to the devoted loyalty of true believers who would give even their lives for their beliefs. We cannot have good believers to defend our faith, culture, fatherland, children, family and morality without it. A prominent citizen told me, “I would refuse friendship of those who would die for their beliefs. Are you one of them?” Would I yield under menace of death? Probably not, if I dread more the horror of my betrayal for the rest of my life. My guest was not under torture and he was of those who are worse as friends than as enemies. On the other hand, many of us are unable to bow to people who have attributes we don’t have. We should, just like short people who recognize that tall athletes are better for basketball. That doesn’t make short people inferior anyhow. But would they still create a basketball league for shorties and demand parity with the tall? They could succeed. But for how long? I also defend the right of smokers to smoke, but not in an enclosure where they smoke and I breathe. [337]
Too much power or money are deleterious, not because they are evil, but because man can handle them only to a limited extent. Man’s vision seldom reaches beyond the horizons he had before acquiring power or money. The same applies to necessities like food, beverages, pleasure, heat, physical efforts, etc. Man cannot handle more than a limited amount of those factors beyond the necessary. Food, for instance, is needed for life, but too much of it may kill. Also man’s judgment can only handle a certain activity or ideology to a limited extent beyond its original scope. Take the concept of “adversary system”, for example. We don’t know the limits of its meaning, but we see no limits in using it. The adversary conflict perpetuates itself into the self-rationalizing inability of two contending parties to agree on any conclusion, as in some Balkan nations, or in court cases in which both contenders remain with the same convictions before and after the judge/jury decision. Why can man recognize the limits in food, drink, and other physical performance, and not in handling people, prosperity, justice and virtue? I believe we don’t know how to induce people into the necessary self-discipline and demanding educational process. Therefore human knowledge and vision are dismally inadequate. Humanistically, we are still primitive. For instance, once convinced of the above considerations, we decide to regulate the power, money, and whatever we consider important, without first mastering them in depth. That is why the Chinese and other communists have obtained disastrous results. That’s also what we have sworn never to do, and leftist governments crave to do. Back to: what are the limits and how can we handle them? Both socialist and capitalistic democracies tend to power concentration monstrosities. Capitalism offers a partial antidote: competition checks without pretension of virtue or enough knowledge, which we also need. Our problem: develop virtue, knowledge, spread and offer them to the world, if we want all to win. But it is impossible if all (winners or losers) are homogenized toward an equality of results that kills incentives and exacerbates hostilities. [348]
****/ When nature programmed us for reproduction and survival/nutrition, it primordially motivated us with craving for sex and hunger, because their consequences of reproduction and nutrition were not sufficiently inspiring into copulation and eating. Without the primordial lust for copulation and food, mankind would have been extinct millions of years ago. Apparently, nature mistrusts reason’s propensity for rationalizing sterile conflicts and doing the wrong things for the right reasons. It is safer to depend on unarguable instincts. Producing jobs is also a consequence and not a goal. Politicians can get the money and hire people merely for employment. But such jobs only multiply taxes, feed government bureaucracies, bleed the employers and ultimately increase poverty. Only jobs designed to produce profitably generate prosperity and more employment. The “pursuit of happiness” itself is gilded bunk, because happiness is impossible as a direct goal and comes only from successful pursuit of love, wealth, knowledge, etc., which are also consequences of other endeavors. “Pursuit of happiness” is just a vote-generating posture. Religion was mankind’s greatest invention to compel good human behavior: God wants it, because He loves us. We cannot argue with Him and escape His reward. Religion transformed erotic sex and selfish riches into sins to make them vastly more attractive than in nudist camps and safes. That assured reproduction, survival and enough progeny to pay for Social Security. Virtually nothing produces as much goodwill as good religion. Yet, politicized religionists have crippled religion: everything that displeases the congregation is progressively eliminated. God is democratized and deprived of fire and brimstone. Next, He will grant a Magna Carta with mankind like King John in 1215 England. John did it under God. Who’s above God? The polls and poll manipulators: the new high priests. God’s Book condenses in the Ten Commandments what He, all other gods and cultures concur about family, education, normal sex, virtue, good and evil, but the worshipers improvise new knowledge with sophisticated expressions of primitive presumption. This is the new basis of today’s morality and legislation. The liberal media spread the news, the poll-oriented god complies and the pollsters procure the new input-output-feedback.

How will Hollywood, the politicians and the pc educators justify their astonishing falsifications of American Indian history? Even “Rhode Scholar” Clinton declares to a group of Indian leaders (April 1998) that the Iroquois (rather than the Greeks, Romans, Italian Renaissance, Locke, Montesquieu etc.) were precursors of the American democracy and confederation, echoing Jack Weatherford’s astoundingly misleading “Indian Givers”. Iroquois had neither real democracy, nor confederacy, egalitarianism, women equality and human rights concepts before learning them from the whites. Like other Amerindians and other peoples all over the world, they were in continuous wars with other tribes, practiced nightmarish tortures of their prisoners, considered their women inferior and had not the slightest notion of ecosystems and their protections. The “greedy” white immigrants seeded, and keep planting, many more trees than they fell. Therefore we have more trees now than when the Pilgrims landed. The Indians used to burn entire forests to flatten the land into prairies for many purposes. The teardrop on a TV Indian face because of the white man’s pollution is a brazen fraud. It is the whites who discovered developed ecologic laws and science, pollution and its remedies. Ecologically, Amerindians, like everyone else, behaved much worse than the whites, just like others who knew less, but they were too few to do real damage. Dug pre-Colombian sculls in Illinois prove that Indians practiced scalping before the Europeans came. Many Amerindians, together with their women and children, practiced gruesome torture, cannibalism and other barbaric crimes on their prisoners not less, and probably more, than other peoples. The myth of the “noble savage” in America is no better than the one of the Roman historian Tacitus about the “noble German” youths who joined their enemies against their own peaceful tribes to satisfy “heroic warlike ambitions”. Tacitus’ worthy purpose was to shake the new Roman generations from their “dolce vita”. Furthermore, politicians have used Indian reservations to embalm them alive in their “traditions” to implement organized exploitations, like the present wave of gambling activities, officially reserved to the Indian tribes, thereby isolating them from the productive American stream. [347]
Unrestrained power corrupts. The conformity by their members to the unions, American Medical Association, National Educational Association, and American Bar Association prevails only because nationalized working, medical, teaching and legal systems run by bureaucrats would impose a worse price of arrogant incompetence than the abusive privileges of local unions and “associations”. On the other hand, organized minorities of working people can impose incongruities like requiring the lovelorn in a unionized cathouse to choose the bimbos with the most seniority. National agencies legislate new help that multiplies the bureaucrats and their power to spread the government controls through work regulations: the vampire feeds on his victims’ blood and infects them to become new vampires addicted to craving the blood of new victims. Their most insidious tool is welfare, a so indisputable enticement that hardly anyone could survive the fabricated accusation of being “against welfare”, construed as “feeding the hungry, healing the sick, helping the needy and innocent children”, although no claim contains more demagoguery. Therefore, welfare exploiters can make their opponents look like callous enemies of mankind. This liberal welfare fattens the poverty pimps and is as effective as major surgery that knows no anatomy. It also addicts the recipients to helpless dependency until death. This, together with unconditional rights granted to gain votes, webs society into the unintended crescendos of unwed motherhood, protected parasitism, antisocial defiance, immoral proselytizing, family dissolution, frivolous divorce, gender and race hostility. It menaces to make larger cities the cesspools of our society. The welfare procurers contrive to look like heroic crusaders against the “evils of sickness and need”. Such was the case of Clinton’s election campaign that made the conservatives look like cruel enemies of Medicare and school-lunch for needy children. It is the ageless problem of the evil looking holy to the gullible, and the benefactors made to look evil when they promote liberating self-help. It is also the old satanic trick: bait voters into electing their deceivers. [324]

A son will hopefully grow to be a better physician or farmer than his parents, and he will proceed so the rest of his life. A daughter often starts the same, but then she becomes a mother. This is fundamentally important, because only mothers implement totally the self-fulfilling life continuity. Considering the conception, delivery, nursing and the many following years necessary to raise each child, a complete woman has no convincing ambition –or desire- to compete with man in “man’s ways”. Raising children is far more rewarding and genetically logical. Evolutionary career competition handicaps woman in the reproduction processes. The more generations pass, the more mother triumphs as such, even if she is the best sculptor or scientist in her family. This leaves the male in the full-time pursuit of the responsible “superiority” promoted by his parents and nurtured by his mother. From there to mother-ordained leadership and patriarchy, the development is inescapable. Matriarchy was tried and rejected everywhere. Even when raised for leadership, genuine women perceive that raising the best-possible children is a self-projection that reaches far beyond competing with anyone else. Therefore, woman can run the world best by placing man on the stage of history. It has been genetically so for hundreds of thousands of years. Sex sublimation to love adds an irresistible inspiration: “I am yours, you are mine. What could be more beautiful?” In this light, superiority, inferiority, equality and freedom become irrelevant, and the “dominant” male becomes a powerful servant, like any leader devoted to his followers. A man who demands more is pompous, distorted and insecure. Any woman honors the man womanhood generates, just as mankind fashioned the gods it wants to worship. The beneficial consequences of this scenario have already produced more female leaders in “male dominated” countries, even in Moslem cultures, than in USA, where ultra-feminism embalms goodwill by enforcing woman/man equality and bellicose women rights. The Indian Moslem Shah Jahan built the immortal Taj Majal for his beloved wife in 1640. What if she had been a feminazi? The obvious answer drives the equalrightniks up the wall they cannot climb.

Ever wondered why some of great fortunes’ scions without any discernible talent choose politics? What else could they do? Popular stevedore-philosopher Eric Hoffer’s statement “civilization is maintenance” may be an indirect explanation. Since they possess no competitive talent to manage or maintain their plutocratic advantages, they choose the easier Machiavellian manipulations of bureaucratic politics, with chances to be elected to high offices by a voters majority with the same self-conscious incompetence. [71] ************************* The National Rifle Association is one of the biggest scapegoats of the media and populace. In reality, America owes a life-and-death debt of gratitude to the NRA and American fascination with weapons. Without the commercial competition and its support of patriotic incentives, it is possible that USA would not have developed the military weaponry that supported its freedom, prominence and power In the debate whether to restrain or limit gun production and/or sales, one basic factor is modtly ignored or unmentioned: what our nation owes to the evolutionary competition between American weapon manufacturers. There is more than a coincidental connection between the free competitive American weapon market, the excellence of American weapons and their decisive role in American wars. In other words, America or the entire free world could owe its own survival to its superior weapons. If that is even partially true, let’s not only keep our weapon industry alive and kicking, but encourage and support its evolution with as many incentives as we can think of. The Roman Empire was not only the greatest in history, but the creator of the Western culture and the provider of Christian success. It started with its unmatched military skills and patriotism, without which it could not have secured its glorious conquests, leading into unprecedented building of still existing roads, cities and other feats, multicultural colonization of the conquered people, and then adopting them en masse to Roman citizenship when ready.

“To suffer is necessity for mortals”. Euripides ********************************************
We know that many artists, actors, and even totally insignificant people are made famous and built up to objects of popular cult only because those who promote them make money or conquer votes or other advantages with them.. If we investigate deeper, we may find out that the true heroes and deservers of admiration are so few that they would probably amount to maximum 10-15% of the total number of the glorified ones. This phenomenon is most obvious in the Hollywood movie industry. It is also facilitated by the overwhelming and unacknowledged need of the general public for idols, which seems to be as compelling as several fundamental primordial needs. The obvious silliness, presumption, vacuity and despicable amorality of a remarkable number of Hollywood stars is so serious that it is becoming a menace for our cultural and moral health. Moreover, the more financial advantages can be extracted from the popularity of these artificially created stars, the more they are lionized beyond any reasonable limits by unlimited advertising and public relation tricks. The stars end up being victimized and ultimately destroyed by taking their own public image seriously. [187]
************************************************** ********************************************
Very long ago, probably between pre- and recorded history, society decided that sexual activity without producing progeny was something between evil and sterile, at any rate not desirable. Homosexuality was defined as perversion of the act , and masturbation a frustration of the same. Such condemning or just negative designation remained substantially the same throughout history.
*************************************************
Today’s prophecies of impending Sodom and Gomorrah are like predicting a flood while immersed in it. Most likely, the Sodom and Gomorrah inhabitants defined their depraved situation not only acceptable but also desirable. Their being associated with sodomy and other sexual perversions is a telling image to describe their peculiarity. The straight sexual act is copulation of two bodies of different gender. The esthetics of the act, its awkward positions, its unnecessary health risks, irrational preliminaries and silly rituals for no apparent result but satisfaction of a craving which vanishes as soon as fulfilled, would condemn the whole procedure, were it not for its reproductive results. Its consequent familial and societal consequences are the origin of civilization and culture. Therefore, the biblical condemnation of Sodom and Gomorrah focuses on their homosexual deviation. Our post-modernistic anti-family, anti-religion, anti-father, pro-abortion, pro-divorce, pro-homosexuality seem logical, but closer examination shows their lethal anti-nature, anti-life and anti-civilization destructiveness.

************************************************* I asked my little boy not to board our sailboat before I untangled a halyard block, and he whined impatiently. A totally strange man on the dock told him: “You don’t have to do what he says if you don’t want to”. I explained that it was the opposite. He said: “Excuses. He is his own person and that disturbs you. I work with children”. We had never met before. Ensuing conversation proved that father knew better than that stranger (a social worker) and the debunked Dr. Spock. Parental authority is now frowned upon, the same as in China, Cuba and other communist countries. The government protects children’s hostility against the parents and makes it irreconcilable. Anticulturalism considers the transmission of culture from parent to child as oppressively intrusive. The child must be completely freed from parental influence. As to woman vs. man: just or not, divorce didn’t use to be the plague it is today; men and women adjusted to a tranquil resignation, at worst, which was enormously better than today’s law-protected self-destructing male-female defiance (with blindly destructive female protection by the government) that conduces, at best, to a divorce that sacrifices the future of the children to the senseless devastation of a wasted adulthood. Compare pre-divorce to after-divorce reality of: vicious court battles, lawyer+court fees, alimony, lawyer+court fees, child support,, lawyer+court fees, visitation right litigations, lawyer+court fees, other litigations, lawyer+court fees… Who is there to play Stars and Stripes?

************************************************* 000215. According to a Harvard Medical School study, negligent hospital treatment kills an estimated 180,000 Americans each year and injures hundreds of thousands more. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences said last October that medical errors killed 44,000 to 98,000 people a year in hospitals alone, and that more people die from medical mistakes each year than from highway accidents, breast cancer or AIDS. The Holroyd & Prodsky (1977) study reported that 10.9% of all the male Ph.Ds. in psychology acknowledged sexually abusing clients. Masters and Johnson found that three out of every seven of their female clients that went through their program had been sexually abused by prior therapists. [113]

***************** Generations ago, the media showed us the rich and powerful to motivate us to emulate them. Now, the media show us the rich to pull them down to “average” level. The proper level is now to be down, or victimized. The latter is a variation of the socialist approach. The Soviets erected a sculpture of an enormous arm with a clenched fist emerging defiant from under the earth. Do we want to start the socialist/communist Armageddon all over again? But why should we menace those who are richer or more powerful? Do they oppress us intentionally or for just being what they are? The surging of the masses is not due to politics but to humanistic and technical progress behind it. Riches and power have always been coupled with ambition and struggle, whether used or abused. Why should I suffer if someone is richer, smarter or more powerful than I? First, he doesn’t make me any worse, but can inspire me to emulate him. Second, he could do for me what I cannot, like the famous inventors, prophets, leaders, teachers, entrepreneurs, explorers, legislators and many others. The question is whether they use their advantage for good or bad. Kant (1724-1804) demonstrated that even virtue, whether an imperative or not, could be used for evil and good. Becoming rich/powerful is much easier when rich/powerful people are already there. They can pull everyone else up, whereas the poor, weaker or powerless are suborned by politicians to pull the more fortunate down. [249]

Different cultures in mutual contact tend to influence each other. That leads to progressive absorption and elimination of what is mutually liked and disliked. Conclusion: multiculturalism develops into transformation of two or more cultures into one that internalizes and fuses all the elements culled from the different cultures. It has been happening throughout history and also in the evolution of languages which fuse and consolidate a multitude of previously coexisting languages. [77]

Conspicuous virtue is the showy concern Mrs. Jellyby displays in Dickens’ “Bleak House”, by neglecting her own family while dispensing pompous help to distant needy tribes she never sees. Dickens called it “telescopic philanthropy”. Today’s political leaders and their followers also add therapeutic lies: flattering the voters, audiences, readers, followers, customers, denying the recognition of evil and guilt, attributing rights and virtues even to depraved people, helping them to paint over their faults with self-esteem. All that enables us to feel good in talking about social justice without learning or achieving anything about it. Sudden metamorphosis is another delusion: join a party, a religion or any organization and you instantly become its infallible missionary. Famous intellectuals like Eidegger, champion of conservatism, and LeMann, leftist holy man of decostructionism, both supported Hitler. In both camps, leading activists promote vicious hatred and intolerance while preaching love. Clinton massacred tens of thousands innocents Serbians to allegedly save Albanians whose massacres he multiplied by intervening in Kosowo to save them.[166]

****/ Politicians and bureaucrats know no better way than scapegoating business in order to capture the “working people” majority vote. Then, they face the specter of losing their jobs if the socio/economic problems are resolved. So, since we need unresolved problems, new ones are created with legislation and propaganda. The current method is to provoke one class of people against another, like employees against employers. Then, since there are many more deceivable employees than employers, cynical politicians prefer to lure the employees with frivolous promises average voters are eager to believe. The average American “working man” condemns business for greed, oppression, dishonesty. But does the “working man” who becomes an entrepreneur automatically become a greedy exploiting capitalist? Chemical industry is blamed as the main pollution monster. Yet, no health, safe food processing, medicine, pharmaceuticals, hygiene, fire protection, cleanliness and pollution control would be possible without the chemical industry. Unions have made workers’ cooperation with the employers into a shameful betrayal of workers’ dignity. This explains why Ernie, a union steward I used to bowl with, officially had to turn against his beloved employer just to be reelected a steward and avoid vicious anti-employer hostility by his competitor for the stewardship. A clergyman proves he has been captured by the anti-business propaganda by saying piously: “Our ethical posture doesn’t allow us to use business marketing methods”, as if business marketing were promoting snake oil. Indeed, some churches use marketing methods too unethical for average business. The “rich” are the survivors of a jungle survival struggle: over 80% of the new businesses are killed by the competition within 5 years (this figure seems to vary little year after year). 80% of the present millionaires are self-made because confiscatory taxes cripple the inheritance capability of the family, the main enemy of socialism. Family desertion is creeping in: children are discouraged from continuing their parents’ activities, especially if they are independent businesses. The desire to build something for my family is what drove me to create and invent jobs and products for over 40 years with much more intensity and work that I could have performed as an employee (my union would have accused me of Stakhanovism). Employers cannot ask job applicants about their gender, age, marital status, religion, race… One of the stupidest regulations forbids me to specify the male gender for an assistant to travel with me abroad, so that we can sleep in the same hotel rooms to avoid paying for high two-gender expenses. As to the age inquiry, it is accused of being discriminatory. First, what is wrong with discriminating against someone who is 25 year old and claims 15year management experience, or a 60 year old beginner in a job that requires 2-5 years of training previous to executive promotion? Employers cannot recover damages from employees who reveal secrets to the competition, leave suddenly or deliberately cause heavy losses. Small businesses cannot recover the court costs of lawsuits brought and lost by the OSHA or JLRB. That means that the oppression by those government agencies is no better than the sadistic despotism by Dark Age lords in controlled territories. We are the epitome of the capitalistic system, but we are unable to recognize one of its greatest achievements. The present spectacular and persisting prosperity of the American economy is due to the cybernetic miracles of the computer and Internet inventions, which are completely free of government regulations and other intrusions. Yet, it also proves Goebbel’s (Nazi propaganda minister) theory: no matter how big the lie, people accept it as the truth if it is continuously repeated. Clinton now reaps the merit of our present prosperity, after his followers repeat the lie long enough. All experts know that he had absolutely nothing to do with it. Gore could not continue the lie that he developed the Internet only because the public was faster in ridiculing the idea. As to taxes “benefiting the rich”, it is obvious and most proper, because it is the rich who pay the most taxes. A 10% tax takes $2,000.00 or $20,000.00 from those who earn $20,000 or $200,000.00 respectively. If it were not so, it would be immoral. Politicians know it, and they know that taxing the rich proportionally more hurts the economy and cuts employment. But they fear to show that they don’t hate the rich for being rich. But who are the “rich” after all? Really, anyone who is successful or owns his business, no matter whether he put all his life and blood into it. Hating the “rich” pretends being friendly to the “common man”. On the other hand, very many “common men” wouldn’t do everything they can to become rich. Officially, however, everyone must profess anti-rich sentiments. They even sell software “so that you can keep playing games at work without your boss noticing”. Bosses are bundled up with the “rich”. Almost every “common man” would like to be a boss. Isn’t this the country where everybody can become rich, a boss, or president? That cannot be the “common man” Copland composed a fanfare for. [843]

The intensity of physical pleasure and pathos felt in the sexual intercourse is commensurate (by nature) to its nearly infinite meaning: creation of life. Nothing humans or any other form of life do is nearly so fundamentally important. Therefore, no homosexual or otherwise masturbating sexual activity can amount to more than an insignificant fraction of the existential importance of procreating heterosexual intercourse.

National minimum standards for education are as logical as the metric system, ASTM, FDA, military and/or government procedures, etc. Spelling must be standardized, not only for USA, but for the entire world, at least the use and pronunciation of letters of the Roman alphabet, or any alphabet. In English, for instance, we could start with the vowels. Start with A as in cAr, mUch, fUzzy, cOme E as in bEt, trEnd I as in pIzza, grEEd, O as in, fOr, wrong, comb, U as in clue, boom. Those were the sounds they were created to represent. Their pronunciation remained roughly the same in all languages (except English) for 2700 years. The Metric System has become a survival necessity. The typical example of protected and enforced “multiculturalism” is the Balkan peninsula. On the other hand, the European Union is the typical example of convalescent multiculturalism. Fighting racial prejudice by forbidding it is a futile delusion. Brainwashing the racists or their children against prejudice is just as futile. The only possible remedy is education through acquisition of unbiased knowledge of the truth and history. [182]

Confrontational gays insist that they cannot avoid homosexual practice because homosexuality is an unchangeable genetic reality. So are differences of size, intelligence, appearance, health and many other characteristics just as genetically unchangeable, but they have differences that no “right” can obliterate. From another perspective, heterosexuality has indisputable claim to sexual intercourse primarily for reproduction. As to sex promiscuity and copulation for pleasure alone (typical of homosexuality) heterosexual morals forbid the first and tolerate the second without giving it the rights and status of reproductive intercourse. Heterosexuals are also genetically conditioned to socially forbidden concupiscence, which they master with abstinence or cheat with hidden practices.

The Germany who perpetrated the Holocaust now jails those who merely question the number of the Jewish victims. The same Germany was dogmatically racist before 1945 and turned “truly democratic” thereafter. The propaganda and press has convinced today’s public that what happened in Germany could not happen in USA or elsewhere. Since our school system has neutered history by marginalizing it in “social studies”, we are deprived of operating knowledge that unspeakable atrocities had not only happened before, but were perpetrated in even much larger scale by nations like Russia, China, Japan, and also by multinational groups (one third of Europe massacred by both Catholics and Protestants in the 1618-1648 “Thirty –Year War”). The public will turn against Clinton if the media maneuvers accordingly. And so will the Republicans recover their spine and bones. But what about the mantra that USA is governed by the law, not by men? The same lawyers who proclaimed it assert that perjury has many gradations. That is the “however” after each commandment. Clinton lawyers contrive to justify it. [176]

Freedom and competition, both singularly and together, are natural enemies of equality. Equality in life leads inevitably to extinction, in spite of the fact that its professed goal is survival. When equality is the law, no one is allowed to be different (“different but equal” is either a delusion or a lie), superior or inferior, richer or poorer, etc. On this path, entire races and cultures lose the ability to learn, progress, evolve and survive. One clue of this self-destructive pattern could be seen in the necessity of bisexual reproduction, where diversity of genes overcomes the lethal stagnation of asexual in breading. At any rate, the very evolutionary struggle the equalitarians loath is the only way to survive. Equality is a philosophical goal and a political trap. Both historical and biological evolution keep submerging “equality”. ******************************************************************************

The race manipulators hate Martin Luther King because the racial integration he preached was based on cultural, not racial, integration. “Racial integration”, can only mean cultural integration of different races, which has happened countless times throughout history. It is not happening in our society only because the race exploiters claim “equal rights” for their irreconcilably divisive quackery, spiced with hate-fomenting Afrocentric lies that sometimes preach black racial superiority. This approach is not very successful, but the anti-historical claim that the whites must apologize to the blacks for the past slavery plays wonderfully into the sick minds of both black and white racists. The above should amply suffice to eliminate the “slavery syndrome” from our minds. It is absolutely true, even if some may have a hard time understanding the problem at hand. Segregation is the most natural posture for many under-educated people. Laws can only apparently correct it, like trying to integrate ethnic groups, without learning each other’s culture. Coexistence of Germans, French and Italians has been successful in Switzerland for centuries. There, the prejudices linger only among those who know little of each other. Those who believe that the French, German and Italian Chauvinisms have better roots than the blacks’ vs. the whites’ in USA, or the British vs. others’, should watch the behavior of unsophisticated spectators in many European soccer games between ethnic groups.

His international failures are appalling: Somalia, Irak, Bosnia, China, Middle East, Kosovo and so on. His moral stature is among the lowest. He has practically emasculated the military. His “genius” is no more than a mediocre brain with a monstrous ability to deceive the public, like the well known astounding talent of the autistic nitwit in a very limited subject. What is left? The liberal-dominated media have created the myth of Clinton’s “genius”. Like Nazi Germany’s Goebbels, they know that a brazenly repeated lie ends up being believed by the general public. ************************************************************************************************************
************************************************************************************************************************************************************ The assertion that USA is not a democray governed by majorities but a republic governed by law has consistency problems with the reality that our public life is based on rules by voting majorities.

Some conservatives believe our society cannot survive without religion. Immanuel Kant proved about 200 years ago that trained reason could do it. But his philosophy was difficult for the masses. On the other hand, evil-minded thinkers could distort it for destructive purposes. Today, the socio-economists offer the game theory, which sees society in patterns of laws that function like game rules. This theory proves that both social laws and morals succeed only when they are obeyed and implemented just like the rules of a game. If not, entire societies and cultures crumble like any game without respected rules. Religions made those rules irrefutable and untouchable by presenting them as God’s commandments. A religion that believes in an all seeing almighty god that punishes and rewards is the only known universal means that surely prevents us to commit sins when we are not seen. [143]

26 July 1999. To Voice of the People, Kenosha News, 715 58th St., Kenosha, WI 53141; HYPERLINK mailto:vop@KenoshaNews.com vop@KenoshaNews.com
Submitted as Guest editorial, refused by editor Steve Lund because I am not a doctor. Kenosha local/global medical problem Waiting 5+3 weeks for my doctor appointment shows that we need more doctors. The AMA opposes it. A clinic’s labeling my test specimen with somebody else’s address shows incompetent controls. A doctor attributed a pain in my chest to the heart, but then concluded my heart was fine. Weeks later, I was unexpectedly railroaded into open-heart surgery, although I was jogging 3.5 miles daily and felt greatest. The morning of the surgery, while I described my excellent physical condition to dissuade those who were “preparing” me in the hospital, I ended awaking with tubes coming in and out of my body. After the surgery, charitably defined “not urgent” by the operating surgeon, evidence popped that my chest pain was only from healed broken ribs (I had been hit by a taxicab in Chicago). Coincidental viciousness happened after I changed doctor. Another doctor’s wife went out of her way to snub my wife. A receptionist refused an appointment for my son with our family doctor because the doctor “cannot take any more patients”. Unrelatedly, a flatulent doctor wrote me infantile biblical insults because I called “tacky” a sophomoric tacky scheme. Elsewhere, a receptionist rejected me for refusing to describe my symptoms loudly with a crowd waiting behind me. A doctor explained: “They try to protect us”. An administration high priest confided that many physicians are “cornered into squeezing more money out of the patients for the organization”. A lab director refused to acknowledge that a nurse burst my vein and caused an ugly swelling. They look down at patients. When an infection debilitated my digestion, a refusal by a huffy “nurse” to schedule an urgent visit caused me to cancel a business trip with my prearranged seminar activities in Germany and Italy. Many prominent Kenosha citizens state we have no good physicians. A chief pharmacist complained that our physicians update primarily their political/bureaucratic skills, as victims of their staffs and organizational budgets. That induces self-important physicians into blundering politicizing, like “protecting” the patients from information or staging phony hunger strikes. Really, only a few do it, but they subtly intimidate the others who “don’t want to have any trouble”. Therefore, our bureaucratized health care is developing the deplorable patterns endemic with socialized medicine, which is contriving to penetrate our country with a “free enterprise” disguise. Desperate doctors try to unionize, which may propel the unworthy to center-stage and create incurable hostilities between bureaucratized medics and patients. Politically bureaucratized medicine can submerge the competent members majority in the “equality” with, and support of, the most incompetent . Remarkably, the worst incompetents are the despotic minority. I’m not allowed to talk with a physician to request references or information on his background before I make an appointment. Supercilious receptionists/”paramedics” choose a doctor for me. If I insist on talking with him first, I get no appointment. I go to the appointment, and I am processed from one busy receptionist to a stilted nurse, a bored technician and other assembly people. Then, a self-conscious someone comes with authoritative questions. I ask: “Are you a doctor?”. He looks shocked: “why would I ask if I wasn’t?”. “Everybody asks me questions here. May I know your name? “Dr. X”. “My appointment was with Dr. Y”. “Still on vacation. Would you prefer I leave?”, he hisses. He leaves unexpectedly, then another someone comes with written instructions for me and no time for further talk. Of course, I sign my unlimited responsibilities in papers with interminable small print that I cannot read in the allotted time. They sign nothing. Certainly no money back warranty. A doctor friend told me, “Today medicine is not less an art than a science. Doctors who believe it is merely a science, are like quacks. Those who think it is just virtuosity are pompous asses”. Preposterous paramedic habits have developed, like being refused service unless I publicly reveal my birth date, my insurance card, plus driver license and social security number, even when I go to a hospital-owned shop to get an ear plug for swimming, in spite of my paying cash. Whatever is medical is being mutated by the suffocating socialized bureaucracy I’ve experienced in European nationalized medicine. Hillary Clinton eagerly paraded victims of medical abuses in America, but not my horror story of being unable to let a superbly competent executive lady I had employed in London come to America, because she was dying of cervical cancer. The local socialized medical system had diagnosed her in time but scheduled the operation too late. Receptionists, medical aids, lab technicians, accountants, bookkeepers, bureaucrats and/or their aids make determining decisions that only a doctor-patient encounter should make. When asked, they explain how they have good reasons. Nothing is worse than arbitrary wrongs done for “good reasons”.

Those who cannot cope with Western Culture try hard to discredit it. Since it is easy to destroy what took centuries to build, the cultural dropouts try to destroy a culture they cannot master and replace it with ideas and rules based on wishful assumptions. Deliberate cultural primitivism in America started with the hippies in the 1960s. There was an apparent sophistication in their love/peace expressions, but no support for their anti-culture approach, until they discovered “deconstructionism” , which states that morality and reality are a social “construct” that must be undone, and that the meaning of values, art and language is only in the interpretation by the observer. But what if the observer confuses race with culture, as most white and black illiterates do? So, the primitive whites glory themselves of a culture they don’t understand, and the primitive blacks, who belong to the same Western culture, are lead to believe that they don’t belong because of their skin color, and are fed the “reality” that Cleopatra was black (she was of the white Macedonian Ptolemy family), that Aristotle stole his philosophy from the Alexandria Bibliotheque (founded in 295 b.c.: 27 years after Aristotle’s death in 322 b.c.), that black Africans used to fly and the Europeans took it away from them…, that the whites invented slavery, that science is a patriarchal society’s fraud. Or, I can rate “What’s up doc?” higher than Shakespeare’s: “There is a tide in the affairs of men…”. But what if I declare the whole thing a contraflop (what flops against its goal)? That is my interpretation of it, therefore valid. Right? To diverge while stick to the subject, we could go back to a lunatic Pierre Rivière in a French Normandy village, in 1835: he hacked his pregnant mother and her fetus, his sister and little brother to pieces, and wrote a book to sanctify the deed in honor of his father. In the 1970s the book was dug out of oblivion by Collège de France philosophy students under Dr. Foucault, for an exercise in deconstructionist rationalization of Pierre’s interpretation. It worked so well, that American universities took it seriously, and there you are with a spawning of new instant-dropout intellectuals with a conveniently flouted ignorance of “Western white-male” history, morals, religion, philosophy, literature, music…. This obtains them a historical first: powerful tenure, and anything they say without evidence is valid, without the years of massive studies required by the “decadent” Western culture:. They know from inspiration, and can sophisticate obscure statements based on primitive notions, and share them with their political peers. Rev. J. Jackson heads a crowd of 500 Stanford University students chanting: “He, he, he, ho, ho, ho, Western Culture’s got to go..”. Yet people from all over the world come to America and Europe to learn and adopt our culture, technology, science, medicine, manufacturing, business, law, social organization. They love Shakespeare, who is no longer required for an English major in universities like Princeton, Columbia, Stanford, who offer credit courses on Marxist, feminist, lesbian and gay writers. Overnight “multicultural consultants” sprout in America like turtles with the mission of teaching eagles how to fly. But Western Culture is indeed the culmination of authentic multiculturalism. It has assimilated so much from virtually all other cultures, that it does no longer consider foreign any of its adopted components. Real multiculturalism started with the Greek and Roman absorption of Mediterranean, Asiatic and North European patterns. With them, Rome transformed an Asiatic peninsula into Europe. It adopted architecture, writing, art, literature, philosophy, government, religion, numbers, chemistry, astronomy from any civilization it contacted. Christmas incorporated the pagan Saturnalia, which celebrated the winter solstice, and used the popular Dec. 25, Persian god Mythras’ nativity celebration, as Jesus birthday (who was really born in Spring). Even the Crusaders adopted not only the revived Greek Aristotelian philosophy from the Arabs, but also their mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, numbers, poetry and troubadours… Try to tell a Portuguese, a Swede, a Croatian , Scotsman (pardon me: Scotsperson) or German, etc. that Europe is monocultural… Then, add Florida, Maine, Wisconsin, Louisiana, Quebec, British Columbia, Alaska… the countless ethnic groups and their individual claims… That is Western Culture…What is more diversified? The trouble is that all of it is too complex to learn for the postmodernists addicted to instant knowledge. They are busy sophisticating their political claims, not their scholarship. They could have learned from at least the Greek Sophists of the IV and V century b.c. Ask any lawyer. The “multiculturalists” (they also deconstruct) aim to balkanize our cultural complex into hostile components. This kind of fragmentation destroyed past civilizations. They don’t see the irony of using the Western language and ideologies to fight the West. Their enemy is history, not the West. And they slouch into one contraflop after another. One is “ebonics”, proposed in this newspaper as a black linguistic experiment to try. I also read about the contrived “Quanzaa”, African-American alternative to Christmas, created in 1966 by a student of Long Beach California State University. They look like awkward means to ridicule the black Americans. Ebonics-type experiments are doomed, , for they elevate sloppy ungrammatical speech into a language and transform it from a childhood deficiency into a lifetime handicap. We could call “whiteonics” the ungrammatical sloppiness of illiterate white kids: it is just as sloppy as the black kind, but for centuries it has been simply corrected, not embalmed in a branding definition. Qwanzaa is even worse, because it starts pretending that the African American heritage language is Swahili, a Persian/Arabian-influenced Bantu language spoken in an East-Africa coast area from Kenya to Tanzania, whereas the original African American came from West Africa, where languages like Wolof, Fulani, Bambara, Malinke, Mende, Mossi, Ga, Yoruba, Igbo, Akan are spoken. So, despite its present advertised expansion, Swahili would be certainly less pertinent than Spanish or English, to the African America tradition. Then, the Qwanzaa “seven principles” ( Umoya, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba, Imani: Swahili for: unity, self determination, collective work & responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, faith) resemble a simplistic Maoist catechism, certainly not from African American or West African traditions. Most African Americans reject its Mickey Mouse Marxism, as its 31 years of irrelevance in USA show. The universal , non-political Christmas belong to any race or culture, including the black Americans. It is evil to widen the gap between races and cultures that need to harmonize. . The ill-fated attempt to offer the monochrome “rainbow coalition” to the black Americans maybe discounted as a forgettable contraflop, but trying to offer them culturally malignant solutions cannot pass unnoticed.

THE GILDED DROPPINGS
It is a mystery that Liberty, Equality,
Justice, and other idolized concepts -as understood and implemented by us- have
been worshipped for so long by the same believers who had all the intellectual
means to analyze their counterfeit values. On the surface, they look like
precious gold, but their substance is cultural waste. Let's take a few examples
at random:
LIBERTY. Life itself is the best evidence against our idea of liberty. We cannot choose where and from whom we are born. We cannot choose our sex, size, native intelligence, strength, health, appearance or any other genetic characteristics. The various theories of "free will" were created, changed, discarded and rehashed before we began to look into genes and genetics.... "Free will" is now a hot potato for theologians, philosophers, psychologists, politicians, legislators, biologists. Our hero says: "..give me liberty or give me death!", and then he goes on living enslaved to his body, to the handicaps imposed by all his physical, psychological, emotional, intellectual, financial, and other conceivable and inconceivable limitations, in a society with endless legal, religious, moral, folkloristic, social, fashionable limitations and shackles. Liberty, for that man or his peers, is only a relative concept. One who is chained to a tree in a 300 square mile forest is "free" if his chains are broken and he is allowed to roam within that forest as he pleases. I am not "free" if I am allowed to move at will within the American continent, but I am not allowed to leave it when I choose. Any "liberty" contrived and claimed within the present constraints remains what it is: a contrived claim.
It is eerie that, as we make laws to protect liberty, we increase the power of those who limit our liberty. The same qualifications that are used to justify their existence are used to wrong or enslave entire categories or populations. To wit: "white supremacy", "human rights", "feminism", "affirmative action", "social justice"... Only politicians, teachers, demagogues, religious fanatics and their groupies profess to believe in them. [341]
EQUALITY is desirable and fascinating at first sight, but ugly, revolting and even lethal if realized. When equality is implemented, differences cannot be allowed, no matter how we try to qualify both "equality" and difference" to make them coexist. Ambition, betterment, competition, evolution become crimes, because they destroy equality or are destroyed by equality. Individuality, personal endeavors, learning, creativity, excellence of any kind, pursuit of knowledge, discovery, invention, originality, artistic expression, achievement, conquest... are all neutered by equality... Those who qualify "equality" as "equal rights" almost invariably induce metamorphosis into "equal results", even if they vehemently deny it. Enforced equal results, regardless of personal merits, are inhuman, anti-evolution and anti-life.
It is true that human failings can cause oppression, suffering and inhuman disparity, but to correct them with equality would be like correcting size difference with decapitation or feet amputation. Such solution for so many evils is a nightmarish wishful thinking.
GENERAL WELFARE is similar to giving enough money to everybody, so that everybody becomes financially comfortable. The purpose is to give everyone all the food, clothing, shelter, pleasure, leisure and other thinks he may need or wish. The resulting inflation and general misery, famine and loss of everything desired and necessary are the proverbial result of equal riches for everybody. Poverty for a few members of society looks ugly, but less evil than the nightmares caused by general welfare. General welfare causes not only evil results, but it also eliminates the chances to find the social remedy to endemic poverty. It becomes lobotomy for an entire nation, for it tends to drain the productivity incentive from welfare recipients and from anyone facing challenge.
Today's welfare proponents say that it is inhuman to remain indifferent to the suffering of the poor. No one can disagree with that, but the meaning of suffering and poverty is relative, ambiguous and ever changing. Many, if not most, American poor of now, for instance, would have been considered almost well-to-do a century or two ago. They would not be regarded as poor in many Third-World countries now (1990). That is, a century ago in USA, or nowadays in the Third World, most of today's American poor would cause indignation or some form of censure if they asked for welfare. On the other hand, if we succeeded in distributing the wealth in the perfect way, the normal course of events and human interactions would create a new hierarchy of values, merits and availabilities, appreciation of the most wanted objects, positions and possibilities, according to the abilities, ambition and diligence of each individual... These and many other factors would inevitably position all members of our ideal society on each rung of the social and economic ladder. At the end, those on the lowest rungs would be classified as poor, the lowest-level people in relation to everybody else, even if each of them possessed a house, a car, 2 TVs, a computer, all the desired money, appliances and more. The very fact that everyone else owned more would make these wealthy "unfortunates" the resentful pariahs of their society. Soon enough, the number of these new poor would become large enough to attract politicians into seeking their votes by first stirring up unbearable malcontent, then promising to help them, the "working people" (as if their employers did not work at all) to obtain justice. Thus: back to the lowest, after reaching the highest. History documents it abundantly, but many pundits don't want to be confused by the facts.
All the above is almost obvious, but we have not yet found other words to designate "liberty", "justice", "equality" in the very relative and limited sense in which we should use them. Even in this book, we keep mentioning those crippled concepts with the conventional words, as the only available way to communicate, because we still have to define the proper concepts and their values.

Vive la différence [draft with alternatives] The geographic and historical ubiquity of a phenomenon entrapped in the semantics of “male oppression” and “woman subjugation” feeds the “gynocentric” (womancentered) feminists (sometimes called “feminazis”) with a smug hatred for man. Since they would cease to exist without male hatred, their fobia is invested with the unchangeability of mathematical formulas. Which is incongruous with their pseudo-scientific attack against the “masculinity-polluted” Western science. The gynocentric feminists have a paradoxical task: they, a product of nature, must prove nature-science masculine, therefore wrong, because it does not postulate that man and woman are equal, with the woman calling the shots.

We don’t produce or reject our children: we evolve into them.
Since typically only the mothers and daughters can enjoy full integral
involvement in the process (from conception, pregnancy, birth, nursing and so
on), they find more gratification in improving their children rather than
themselves. This leaves the male in the statistically full-time exercise of the
“superiority” created by his parents and nurtured primarily by his mother. From
there to mother-ordained leadership and patriarchy, the development is
inescapable. No matter how raised for leadership, most women find worthier
fulfillment in raising the best-possible children rather than in competing with
their husbands or other males or females. Therefore, woman may run the world,
but she places man on the stage of history. The beauty of love adds an
inspirational mantra the gynocentrists loathe: “I am yours, you are mine. What
could be more beautiful?”. In the light of this posture, superiority,
inferiority, equality and freedom become irrelevant; and the leading male is a
powerful servant, like any leader devoted to his followers. Unfolding of this
concept has already produced more female leaders in “male dominated” countries,
even in Moslem cultures, than in USA, where ultra-feminism freezes goodwill by
enforcing woman/man “equality” and bellicose women “rights”. It also suggests
why the cult of the Virgin Mary matured after the Crusades, where the Christians
learned from the Arab Moslems to court and worship womanhood. Men, women, and
gynocentrists who interpret family and male leadership in oppressive terms make
that choice for themselves, not for us. Such is their entitlement. [256]

The gynocentrists overemphasize “deconstructing white male’s Western culture”, as well as their undisguised campaigning for homosexuality and against the family, in order to derail the natural male/female relationship. Their overemphasis on the deconstructionism (“white male’s Western culture” must be “deconstructed”), their undisguised campaigning for homosexuality and against the family attempt to derail the issue of the natural male/female relationship. They reiterated their anti-male dogmatism in their impervious hostility to the October 1997 women-honoring Promise Keepers gathering in Washington, D.C.: “Our mind is made up, don’t confuse us with facts”. Surprising fact: “Male superiority” is ultimately woman’s creation. It is connected with the mechanics of reproduction. First, both father and mother love to raise their child above their own physical and mental level. With sons, the process is straight and obvious: [154]

The Egyptian Pyramids, The St. Peter basilica or the Parthenon have produced for centuries countless thousands of times more, in tourism, jobs, business and inspiration, than what was invested in them. And more yet for centuries and centuries to come. Had the initial resources been spent virtuously to feed the hungry, as preached, they would have been exhausted through a simple digestive cycle.

***/ PC DECAY For the sake of equality, we protect forms of life, religions, races and cultures out of evolution. Our Indian reservations are a typical example. They embalm aboriginal Americans into a cultural stagnation. For hundreds of thousands of years, "minorities" have evolved by interaction and integration into the surviving cultures they blended with. Everywhere, we are the result of this evolutionary cultural process. Our present "enlightenment" has determined to stop cultural progress and nurture a rotting stagnation of the endangered minorities and cultures we wish to protect.. Describing a cultural evolution as absorption of a culture into another is an arbitrary choice of words. Every culture can perish in stagnation or evolve by accepting new patterns "from within" or "from without". Any attempt to “protect” a culture kills it, for it prevents a powerful evolutionary vitality that takes place as a fusion of two or more cultures, while they influence and improve each other. Western culture has prevailed as the most productive and the most universally accepted because, more than any other culture, it has eagerly sought out, studied and adopted everything it could learn and accept of any other culture. This is proven not only by the Western World universities, museums and other cultural institutions, but, unwittingly, even by the most radical American intellectuals who initiate and proliferate American-financed, American-based anti-Western-American activities. That would be self-evident if history and geography in American schools were each rescued from their thralldom in "social studies". Considering a failing culture like a species to be saved from extinction presumes that extinction is an evil. It is only in some cases; otherwise, it is a normal evolutionary outcome. Scientists know that over 99% of the species that ever existed are extinct. [286]

Which means trouble for the blacks, whose consequent statistic percentage loss means less government help. This political embarrassment exposes the inanity of racial politics. Indeed, considering the race cultural factors would expose culture as the only factor that counts. Since racial behavior can only be described in cultural terms, and any culture –not a race- can evolve or change, it is time that we begin considering the blacks in cultural rather than racial terms, like any other ethnic or “racial” group.. This changes the entire picture. Our culture is presumably based on evolutionary progress and free competition, but the winners are under continuous suspicion and the more the losers are protected, the more they lose. The process looks like a game with marked cards. [152]

Historians and philosophers concluded that no more progress was needed beyond democracy. Hence: democracy was the “end of history”, after Hegel thought the French Revolution was it. Probably democracy isn’t it. Ethymologically: people’s (demos) rule (kratein) came to mean: majority rule, as reflected by voting. Then, minorities learned to organize themselves as skillful persuaders who misused logic, faked virtue, distorted truth and broke promises. In many cases, they developed almost monolithic faith adopted by the majorities of their conational. To wit: communist nations (East Germany, China, the USSR itself, etc.) called themselves democracies. Two questions have now krept in: What is a democracy today? Are we a true democracy? This is a typical question of those who refuse to recognize that their pet-system is a failure. Many say that Christianity ‘s failure is not Chistianty’s failure, but our failure to practise true Christianity. Whatever interpretation we choose, the failure is there and we must change rather than continue persisting in the same thing with different names and methods. [168]

We are at the stage that one looks weird if he says that we have been intellectually hollowed by the demise of classic education in the schools. Probably Zeno’s example of Achilles and the tortoise (of the 5th century b.c.) may shed some light. Achilles and the tortoise race from a start where the tortoise is ahead. Speedy Achilles cannot pass the tortoise, notwithstanding the evidence. Absurd, but “logical”: every time Achilles reaches the spot where the tortoise was, she is no longer there. This dilemma was resolved centuries later, with new math theories. Clinton lawyers posit his situation with Zeno’s hair spitting. The difference is that Zeno did not know how to fit time, motion, decimals and limits theory in math. Today’s lawyers and public have no excuse, when they come up with the “legally correct” reasoning, which disregards more realities and “imperatives” only dishonesty (disguised as “ethics”) can gloss over. We simply threw away recognition of the Greek and Roman foundation in our history. …. [166]

Harmony in a society is disrupted when its members are not united by a shared set of signals and values. When some actions or behavioral patterns are cherished by some people and offensive to other members of the same society, conflicts arise that can lead to serious problems, like sickness to a life-form. Opposing religions and ideas in the same society can cause violence and persecution, unless a "tolerance" is developed, which mostly cannot exist if the religions and ideas are taken seriously. Wearing unconventional clothing, for instance, should present no problems; but if it shows alienation from the prevailing culture, it can become a dangerous source of hostility. That is apparently happening with the American blacks. [112]

Back we go to the relativistic “culture-deconstruction”, which was debunked many times, as records show starting 2500 years ago. A society cannot function if we base our life on changing the interpretation of 2+2=4, the value of $100, a signed contract, the execution of a court order, a speeding ticket, a votes count, a death certificate, pregnancy, or the prohibition of throwing a bomb into a crowd.

It is now obvious that both employees and employers battle from obsolete ramparts that reveal the crude primitivism of class struggle, socialist or otherwise. When disputing groups become criminally violent, a sufficient emotional premise is created for single or mass atrocities, of the kind that could unfold into the Jewish (6 million killed), Ukrainian (6 to 10 million), Russian (almost 30 million), Chinese (over 30 million) and other historic Holocausts. This sounds grossly overstated, but the threshold between reason and criminal obtusity is an incredibly thin layer of restraint. In the 1618-1648 “Thirty Year War” Catholics and Protestants practiced atrocities, from torture to cannibalism and massacres, against each other, both in the name of God, and murdered over one third of Europe’s population.

The woman thrown to the street because she was seduced and pregnant. Just as easy to blame the system and to blame her. Poverty is to blame for ignorance, but there are those who learned and conquered in spite of poverty. Crime caused by poverty? But also wealth caused corruption of the spoiled brats. The whore because she chooses the easy immoral way in spite of many open opportunities is the opposite of the poor, abused and helpless woman who became a saint and heroine. The teacher explains that the black students are put down, ignored and rejected. Therefore, he says, they have "no other choice" but prostitution and drugs. This “no other choice” statement gives plenty of comfort to any black youth to choose crime. That is the crucial point where the proper interpretation offers the ultimate and elusive solution for the problems of the “blacks”, “poor”, “women” and other “disadvantaged”. It attributes all the causes to society, poverty, government, the rich, etc. It is twisted into a license for decay, crime, riots, hostility, hatred and ensuing political exploitation which worsens and perpetuates every evil.

That, however, does not induce us to seek revenge against the enslavers of the non-blacks or their descendants.

THE END OF HISTORY
In about 1800, Hegel, the most influential modern philosopher, thought the French Revolution was the “end of history”, that is, the ultimate synthesis of social development for all time. But it degenerated into despotic terror. Now, we think Democracy is it. But Democracy is being perverted by leftist government centralization. After the USSR collapse, the centralization economic rational had to switch to the anti-Western, anti-family , black racist and feminist mantras, mostly supported by obtuse bureaucracies. So, will democracy also fail? Not, if we still have some brain left. We can still let the leftists stew in their own juice, like the Soviets. First, the welfare state is being crushed by its own weight. Gender-feminism’s belligerence is descending through the defensive phase. Pundits are discovering that the overwhelming majority of divorced parents and their children have been irreversibly damaged by divorce. Liberal legislators act like philanthropists who practice brain surgery without knowing more than that the brain is something somewhere inside the scull. Unfortunately, the conservatives lack the most elemental ability to show that their opposition to brain butchering is not opposition to brain surgery. All the above has been predicted by millions of observers well before it happened. But they went unheeded because they were slaves of fear of making waves, fear of the IRS, fear of the unions, fear of losing votes. Hegel also stated that there are free men and slaves: the free are ready to die for their convictions, whereas the slaves are those who would accept anything to survive. [244]

Clinton proclaims that women receive 3 out of 4 pay checks, compared to men. He means: women are entitled to the same pay as men, because of equal work, and because women can claim, “I’m worth it!” Yet, a woman is often remarkably more worth than a man if she is a good mother and he a lesser father, even if he is a superb physician or sumo wrestler. Our society bases income on measurable and demanded productivity, not on real values. And it’d better remain so, because we don’t judge and remunerate anyone’s real worth. If we did, we would create ruthless injustices. How much were Einstein’s or Plato’s mothers to be paid for raising them? How much would we pay them now? Deliver them to any employer’s personnel department, and the answer is dismal, because it is be based on measurable pay for measurable productivity. What is “equal work”? Who can really judge it? Pay it accordingly, and a woman that delivers “equal work” is failing her nature and her offspring. Man is not burdened by pregnancy, breast feeding and the years of offspring nurturing only a mother can perform. Motherhood, womanhood and child rearing go beyond what any man can offer, including empires building and scientific discoveries. That sounds odd, but I suspect that woman herself doesn’t want to be subject to a reward depending on evaluation of her true worth by man, lest he would put her on a value scale that no human being can measure. Therefore woman has chosen to put man on history’s center stage and remain undisturbed in running the life perpetuation business she instinctively knows how to conduct better than man. So, man fights and conquers his frivolous glory, like Clinton, but she nurtures the life chain that triumphs without the recognition that philosophers like Hegel claim man(woman) needs. Bunk? Would you like to have been aborted so that your mother could get a job to pay for a car or a mink coat? [328]

The revelation that history, reality, morality and every perception are only a matter of interpretation by the observer’s perspective works not only for those who agree with it, but also for those who disagree. The disagreement itself is another equally valid perspective. Accordingly, we may have as many reasons to be happy and approving of any situation, as the reasons to be unhappy and disapproving of the same and any other situation. This transforms nihilism into an infinitely immutable or at the same time mutable positivism. A solidly founded reality can be lived as such by some people and as an insane nightmare by others, with equal validity and-or invalidity, depending on the observing side. If things are so, it is practical to ignore the so far described wisdom and resume the comfortable practicality of the “conventional wisdom” where it serves us, just as we continue with Newtonian physics as long as the Einstein relativity is not yet necessary. 2 concurring elements, however, are necessary to make the above relevant: reason and feeling (hoping that these 2 words cover the meanings). Both live reasoning and feeling must experience the truth and validity of the new revelation. If it doesn’t happen, the new posture will be hollow and without life. [209]

It would have to be, I presume, without awareness of us by the life forms there, otherwise we would change their future with merely our presence. But this very fact that we couldn’t help changing their future, could be used to look from our present to the future in the reverse direction as we would come back from our visit millions of years in the past to one or millions of years into the future.

The power legislators and bureaucrats have over our lives goes far beyond their competence. This is especially evident in business rules, practices and routine controls, or in anything that requires specialized competence. In spite of the prejudice that business is mainly guided by greed or egotism, it is inescapable that business cannot survive long enough if it doesn’t please its customers (of course, this does not apply to a socialist society, where everything is embalmed by government’s last word about right, wrong, taste, necessity, duties and limits). There are exceptions where advertising and other means obscure the issues and deceive the buyers into choosing what hurts them and pleases the vendors, but very rarely it applies in regulations that conflict with the competence of the production specialists. Specialists can be wrong too, but the definition of the problem must consider that the responsible production specialists work continuously in what they are specialized, including pleasing the customer, whereas the politicians and bureaucrats have a comparatively superficially knowledge about the disputed subject. Yet, the authority of the incompetent often prevails merely in virtue of their legal authority. [185] *************************** ******************************
The anti-abortion position encompasses a deeper stand against the depraved right-to-pleasure principle that causes unwanted pregnancies from fornication. The evil in the pleasure principle seems to draw lethal strength from distorting the right to personal independence and freedom. The fact that Hollywood is on the forefront of such decay can be easily understood if one considers that their ethics and morality are shaped by their supine dependence on the taste of the popular hedonism. Violence, sex and all kinds of erotic stimulations short of the criminal kind, together with the low cultural conditions of the public, determine it all.

The “working men and women” is primarily demagogic: beside unnecessarily showing off that the women are recognized, it contrasts blue-collar and lower level workers from the entrepreneurs, who are implicitly exploiters,. First, true entrepreneurs have to work more than “working men and women” just to stay afloat (80% or more of them fail, or go bankrupt within 5 years). Then, beside working, they have to produce. In fact, they are paid on the basis of what they produce alone, regardless of how much they have worked for any product or service they deliver to the customer’s satisfaction. They have no unions or government to protect them from failure. Just: “tough luck, baby”.

Organizing people in classes, categories, unions, associations, nations, and empowering or protecting them as such, corrupts most members in many ways. It protects them from external harm, but it seems to cripple their individual worth by relieving them of personal improvement responsibilities. As individuals, their personal worth increases in the process of self-improvement to assert themselves. They may suffer because of humiliations suffered when overwhelmed by the powerful, but this very process diminishes the oppressors and increases the struggling self-improving of the oppressed in the long run. What about the losers? There are always losers. Especially the top cats who are dethroned in the perfectly socialized systems. In fact, this last kind of losers are the most tragic, because they lose more than the humiliated slaves, and in the worst punishing ways. [130] **************** The Mars and Venus double standard is here to stay Typically, man needs to love. Woman needs to be loved. Therefore he seeks the visibly love-worthy beautiful, attractive,receptive woman. He becomes possessive of her for 2 main primordial reasons: He cannot give up the pleasure she gives him, and he has no other way to be sure he is the father of her children. Woman is not as driven as man by the sexual desire. Her natural need is reproduction, regardless of who the father is. Therefore society cannot accept polyandry. The typical woman wants to be loved. Gratitude to the man who loves and protects motivates most women’s love. Her much greater tendency than man to cultivate personal and cosmetic appearance is motivated by the need to be pursued and loved. If woman desired man as much as man woman, she would tend to the same compulsory promiscuity as man, which would destroy the family, with great harm to the children and society. [164]

The multiplication and spreading of communication is expected to promote diversity in every sense. However, the freedom in which such a phenomenon thrives is also the ideal breeding ground for unlimited competition. In the process, some ideas are so much more successful than others, that they become overwhelm and progressively marginalize the other ones into virtual extinction. This is facilitated by the reluctance of most people to be identified with the outmoded and defeated ideas. As soon as the dominant media perceive the prevalence on an idea or trend, they join it in order to gain the favors and money of its adherents. That accomplished, they soon proceed to weaken and then neutralize the opposing trends and resistance to the prevailing fashion; especially if that generates money and power. [141]

As new president of the National Organization of Women, the famed actress Elizabeth Taylor announced in her first speach: “all men are rapists…”. Anthropologically, that reflected the primordial female fear that males are so mindlessly attracted to the female crotch that they might violate it for irresponsible pleasure. Culturally, the beautiful actress returned her social standing to that of a “silly broad"s. Similarly, micro-brained men proclaim: “all women are whores”, when they meet women feigning lusty acceptance of the sexual intercourse merely to obtain pregnancy and man’s services. On this cultural or instinctive level, a “natural” hostility is expected in the conventional “battle of sexes”. Peace and even harmony ensues in an extended male- (or female-) dominated society based on the traditional family. [123]

One of the consequences of capitalism/democracy is the implacable elimination of the small business by the larger. The resulting mega-businesses also compete in mortal combat, until the last ones and the government become the same. The evidence of this unstoppable doom is subtly perceivable in the irreversible growth of new laws that increase controls, enforcement and empowered bureaucracy. Also unions, professional associations and all classes slowly but inexorably position themselves like the jigsaw pieces of a developing global Socialism. The modern analytical and recording means to control our political processes are caught in the same vortex: they contribute to homogenizing our society into a formless herd. We have reduced our individual differences to a common denominator dictated by the polls, which show in advance how people are going to vote: like maneuvered sheep. Since aspirants to electoral success cater to the same people, they must promise and advertise the same goals and methods suggested by the polls, in spite of the differences they started with. Individualism, imagination and personal aspirations homogenize. Stages of this development are already history in the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, and in fiction like “The Time Machine”, where those who take care of people as herded comestible cattle develop them into zombies without desires or fears. Since the majority dictates the trend, and politicians are supposed to represent the electorate, the conclusion is the complete elimination of individuality by the polls. Leaders with new ideas? They could offer something, but I wonder how they can function as long as the polls reign. Besides, we still have to develop a remedy to biased polls, since we don’t know how to trace and correct them effectively. [279]

Insistence about Clinton’s crimes in Serbia causes either complete agreement or irritation about too much talk about the “same old subject”. The fact that Milosevic was a Communist tyrant has nothing to do with it. Clinton acted no better than a terrorist, kidnapper, or gangster to distract the public from his moral turpitude, impeachment, and alleged rape of Juanita Broderick., “I’ll keep killing your [innocent] civilians, as long as you don’t surrender”. Then, he cynically boasts that he killed countless thousands of them without one single American casualty. The worst of it is that it is OK to kill defenseless innocents simply because they are just Serbians, defined “collateral damage” by the Clinton sycophants. Soldiers are sent against soldiers in a declared war. And even in a declared war, knowingly killing civilians who are neither soldiers nor fighting back, simply because they are not American is an intentional, heinous crime. By calling him one of the greatest American presidents, Gore wrapped shame, dishonor, and criminality in the American flag In the Nuernberg trials, those who cowardly slaughtered unarmed innocents were condemned and executed. Their excuses that they were following orders were rejected. The court said that they should have refused to obey. Accordingly, many of our people, from the secretary of defense to the generals and soldiers would have been condemned by a court action conducted by the Serbians and their allies, for not having refused to massacre so many innocent people. Milosevic may have been the monster as accused, but he fought armed terrorist rebels who were fighting Serbians. Then, today’s investigations found no evidence of any massacres justifying Clinton’s intervention. “John, you are angry”, a lady reproached. You bet, madam! Clinton, not America, gave the Serbians an historical excuse for resenting America…[280]

Woman’s traditional accusation of “pig” against the sexually aroused husband or lover, let alone the fear of becoming pregnant, and the instinctive anti-intercourse barriers to protect heir own pregnancy, are a convincing evidence of the “double standard”. This coexists with the instinctive erotic aggressiveness of the male, as decreed by nature for what we a see as evolutionary selection. Distortion of these differences does not change reality. Sexual morphology proves the unarguable differences. Woman’s body is a reproduction microcosm (considered by “feminazis” as the root of woman’s “slavery”). Man’s reproductive function concentrates in a small genital area with a poor plumbing configuration. Proof that male visual attraction to female is only instinctive is that no artistic imagination would consider the male or female genitals as a thing of beauty. Nature assured reproduction by giving man craving for copulation pleasure, and to woman initial sexual reluctance. Accordingly, “hot” women’s hereditary continuity of unnecessary sexual intercourse is eroded as interference with pregnancy and child raising. The sexually moderate woman is the norm. Pretending otherwise caused the crippling damage inflicted by the man-hating “feminazis” to the genuine feminism. They usurp the feminism label like rapists who call themselves lovers. “Feminazis” parade support for a lunatic woman who cuts her husband’s penis. Hoaxes are created like 150,000 alleged “annual fatalities” or anorexia from male abuse (1992, Ann Landers), calling battery of pregnant women by men the main cause of birth defects, etc. (Time,1993). Paradoxically, the same "“victims” proclaim equality with man, whom they despise relentlessly... Today’s sex “liberation” is a serious blow to sex’s poetic mythology. It may lead to the praying mantis syndrome of the female devouring the male after copulation. Lionesses, who do most of the hunting, could easily attack the lion, but they keep him dominant for the survival of the species. Middle East women working hard while their men loaf, do the same as the lionesses. “Superiority” is a semantic problem. Male “superiority” misinterpretation generated woman’s “equality” misunderstanding. Experiences of past thousands of years are wrongly considered inferior to today’s. Reality is sacrificed to the semantics of “equality” and “rights”. [350]

A caller told me the newspaper wronged me by publishing my “anti-Clinton/Gore letter surrounded by pro-Clinton/Gore propaganda”, and urged me to write about it. Really, if all those letters, not just some, had mirrored the Clinton/Gore cult, mine would have stood out better. Conventional wisdom would advise to avoid provoking the opposition, unless we aspire to martyrdom. This evokes the Christian, Moslem, other kinds of martyrs and pious suicides. Frankly, I always thought that most of them were more shrewd than anything else. If they firmly believed and would really go to Heaven by dying for their faith or god, they would enjoy the greatest bargain in the universe for a relatively insignificant price. This brings the paradox that the real hero is no hero at all. He doesn’t even need a god to reward him. His self-sufficiency is branded as “big ego”. On the other hand, the ego is never too big, considering that each one of us is the center of the universe. Why? Just die and then tell me what and where the universe is. God? Religions and reason have bypassed him. Should he or we care? We are left with seeking recognition, which the most influential modern philosopher Hegel considers the basic need of human nature. But what about the countless geniuses, saints and heroes, as well as many evil ones, who die unknown? And what beyond death”? “Beyond death” may really mean beyond recognition. So, there goes Hegel [243 ]
.********* ****/
We live as if we were never to die.
Death is
the permanent jolt into reality.
Each one of us is the center of the perceived
universe. We have no evidence of what happens to us and our perception when we
are dead.
First: why should anything happen? Aren’t we expecting a sequitur
simply because we cannot accept a hopeless end?
But what does “hopeless end”
mean?
It might mean anything, nothing, and who knows how many things in between.
Is our “hope” just a door to desirable things we still have to formulate? Do we
need to formulate them? Are they more troubles or an escape from unhappiness of
not knowing what we need? Or do we know what we need but we are unwilling to
work for it?
Hegel’s assertion that recognition is man’s fundamental need is
futile for the countless humans who died totally unnoticed, or even with
horribly distorted images. Even unrecognized and/or unnoticed, each one of us
causes changes more significant than the butterfly’s wing flutter, which is
revolutionary in its limited environment and beyond.
Where does all that go? The universe
is unlimited in both macro and micro directions. We cannot ignore something
merely because we cannot yet comprehend and describe it. If I do, compose,
invent, build or merely say something, even if no one records it, I certainly
have done it. Even if I have merely dreamed it.
What has happened is, and adds
to us, regardless of our perception.
Another perspective appears when we realize
that we have built anything –an idea, a law, system, society or even an empire-
from a merely intellectual basis, which later results unfounded. Do we
“deconstruct” it?
Was it ever there or is it on a basis other than what we
thought? Then, rather than deconstruct, we must keep sustaining it and
reinterpret its foundation.
From a general perspective, when our vision has not
reached far enough, what we instinctively perceive is often reflected in myths
and religions. There lies their importance.
Probably we should combine Sigmund
Freud’s psychoanalysis and Sir James George Frazer’s mythology.
Both venture in
the immense territories through and beyond reason, psychology and myth.
Ideas and mythology may contain more truth than what we perceive as "reality". [375]

**** The presumed “evil and stupidity” of respectively the
Democrats and Republicans is easier to describe than to accept.
The liberals’
weakness is the pursuit of obvious goals without possessing the knowledge the
goals require. Their strength is that their goals are simple to state and
eagerly accepted by the public, even if the proponents are incompetent or
dishonest. Therefore, all they have to do is to state what everyone likes to
hear.
The conservatives want to solve the same problems, but are aware that the
solutions are more intricate and demanding than most people like.
Thus, their
problem is how to word their message without losing votes.
The liberal
vote-getting solution is: ”I will resolve your problem if you elect me”. .
They
include a not too subtle hate message: “You are not to blame, because “the rich
[mostly whites, WASPs, Catholics, Jews, conservatives or whatever] are causing your problems”.
Usually, their solutions come from the Socialist catalog of social recipes.
They
have historically worsened the problems, but liberals explain that the solutions
were applied wrong or that the new versions are democratic instead of
Socialistic.
The conservatives are mostly people who believe that a problem can
be resolved best if we learn to handle it ourselves, rather than addicting
people to government dependency. This approach is unpopular with the insecure
and mediocre, who are most members of any society.
This not only causes
vindictive hatred, but it destroys any incentive the “victims” have to improve
their own situation.
Moreover, it increases the rich/poor gap, because the rich
learn to master most obstacles by themselves.
The liberals yawn bored: “I have
heard that many times before. You are saying nothing new”. So, there they go
again with the same disastrous non-solutions and class hatred, which has always
worsened whatever the problem. This is aggravated by suborning class hatred
against those who encourage the poor, the blacks etc. to rely on their own
initiative more than on addictive government help.
This atmosphere is a godsend
for the rabble rousers, race and poverty pimps, anti-male feminists, etc. [343]

The need for recognition and/or approval can ultimately reduce
us to prostitutes.
Incidentally, prostitution for money is easier to cure than
prostitution for pleasure or ideals.
Buddha’s aim to eliminate the need for
pleasure would become at least partially self-explanatory in this perspective.
From another perspective, we should not equate the need for pleasure and/or
recognition with the un-addicted acceptance of one or both of them.
Then, there
is true love: doing all we can and feeling unconditional affection for someone,
independently of retribution, recognition or pleasure.
Finally: we are really
and fortunately alone, from fetus to death.
Anything in-between relating with
others in any locations/situations will vanish totally when we are dead.
The
fact that this reality is practically ignored while we live suggests that life
itself blinds us to it.
So what? [134]

Gore may unwittingly be just another Machiavellian, harbinger of the passage from the demagogic to the moral approach in politics and, probably later, in life.

When the economy goes astray, it seems that there is nothing the government can do to improve the situation. Even in the case of Roosevelt with the Depression, it is clear that the war economy revitalized the American economy. Attributing it to Roosevelt is already considered a grossly partisan interpretation. When a great economic bonanza happens, it is obvious that, after the fact, the merit is attributed to the political administration of that period. Normally, the prosperity was caused by other factors the politicians cannot normally predict, promote or oppose.. The reality is that political administrations, Clinton’s included, still don’t know how to legislate an economic depression into prosperity. They can only do the opposite with taxes, government oppressions, revolutions and wars. As of now, year 2000, for instance, we are at the verge of a very likely recession or depression, no matter who is going to be elected. Opposition politicians, of course, will not miss the customary opportunity to blame the current administration for the misfortune.

Democracy means dictatorship by the majority. The will of the majority might sound proper, but the majority consists of the less prominent, more government depending (therefore egotistical) citizens. They define themselves “free”, but they have lost the open competition of a “free society”. One form of democracy is a socialistically leveled population whose freedom is suffocated by the necessity of enforcing “equality”, which is the unobtainable attribute of a socialist state. That and its enforcers kill freedom. America like to call itself “democracy”, but it is a republic, from “Res Publica” (public matter), originated in Rome over 26 centuries ago, competing with the Greek democracy. Law and political science know the difference, but they don’t always clarify it. Essentially, it is a modified form of democracy governed by laws issued by elected legislators rather than by a raw majority. Government by law is remarkably different from government by lawyers, bureaucrats or judges. Racial equality for instance, doesn’t mean compensating a racial discrimination with another. We don’t punish rape by raping the rapist’s daughter. The overwhelmingly compact vote of a block of organized lawyers, workers, blacks, whites, religious or political believers is the worst corruption of the votes by independently thinking individual lawyers, workers, blacks, whites etc. For any subject, diametrically opposing philosophical, political, economic and other reasoning systems can be built, each rich of believers that would heroically give their lives for their cause. The Supreme Court judges themselves can be hopelessly split on a issuing a legal decision because of politically differing convictions. The inability of logic and reason to achieve undisputable conclusi0ons is apparent at least in political and legal matters. Litigating lawyers remain of the same pre-trial convictions after a court sentence and expose the inability of most reasoning to convert the opposite opinion. To get results, justice and reasoning are substituted with a game theory that adopts the arbitrary rules of a game where the win/lose factor replaces the right-and-wrong law.

Homolemmings Handling homosexuality is much worse than like reinventing the wheel. The principle of the wheel has already been finally dealt with for thousands of years, after which no discovery or progress has been made in science, philosophy, medicine, psychology or in any other field that can give us more or better insight on the subject. In fact, only rejecting all past cultural and scientific achievements allows us to reconsider homosexuality. It boils down to sex, eroticism, reproduction, pleasure and happiness. Sex is no human invention to be modified, but co-created with any sexual reproducing form of life. Without sex and the eroticism that promotes reproductive copulation, life is extinct. When humans discovered this fundamental truth, they also discovered that the pleasure of erotic encounters must be self extinguishing, otherwise it interferes with the reproduction cycle. Love and worship were directed to the reproductive purposes and consequences of the sexual act. Making the matter sacramental was the best method to avoid the destructive consequences of disputes about the essence, value and validity of the sexual act. Therefore, belief or faith in the agreed interpretation, permissibility and taboos about the matter became a matter of dogmatic “divine” rules no one could doubt. Observance of the rules and taboos eliminated the unhappiness of unsettling disputes and promoted harmonic happiness with a nucleus in the family. Family, therefore, was and remains like the hymn to togetherness, love, reproductive life and happiness. This matter became the essence of family, society, culture, values, life and survival, whether based on religion or reasoned acceptance. Pleasure as a temporary means and happiness as a continuous goal were differentiated to the point that persistence of pleasure beyond its immediate purpose was limited or forbidden as destructive to harmony and happiness, for the familial happiness required a devotion with efforts and sacrifices pleasure would interfere with. All that became object of individual and community worship that meant virtually everything to everybody. Then comes homosexuality. The distinctive characteristic of homosexuality is symbolized by penis penetration into the mouth and rectum of a male to a male and mutual oral and vulva stimulation between females. That deviateses the pleasure that nature implanted in individual to promote heterosexual reproductive intercourse, but avoids the natural reproductive consequences, and causes none of the endless phenomena accompanying and serving the extreme complexities of family, child rearing, concomitant societal organization, related provisions, legislation, etc. etc. Once the pleasure of orgasm has been reached without the great complex of consequent reproduction with accompanying developments of heterosexual copulation, an emptiness and hopeless sterility ensues, like the edge of an abyss. Watch a homosexual parade. Their extremely ostentatious parading of joy and happiness is like a compulsive display of idols whose existence is invoked, yet known to be fantasy and nothing more. Their insatiable pursuit of sterile pleasure with endless numbers of partners and complete disregard of AIDS and other complications is like the suicidal run of the Scandinavian lemmings into the ocean. A representative ritual of the sterile reproductive act. [501]

Homosexuality is a complex psychosomatic choice with focus on sterile non-reproductive –therefore not natural- orgasmic gratification between same-sex individuals. Heterosexual copulation has only one reason: reproduction. Homosexuality is genetically abnormal. Sterile heterosexual copulation is normal intercourse without normal results. That produces the orgasmic pleasure, but avoids reproduction, natural family, child birth, concomitant societal organization, legislation, etc. Sterile homosexual orgasm is empty and sterile pleasure, like masturbation. Watch. The deliberately offensive theatricals of joy and insults in a homosexual parade are like compulsive displays of images whose existence is invoked, yet known to be fantasy and nothing more. Their insatiable pursuit of sterile pleasure with endless numbers of partners regardless of AIDS and other complications is like the suicidal run of the Scandinavian lemmings into the ocean. Politicians perceive it, but they want the homosexual voting block. Before sending homosexuals to gulags, Socialism exploits them, together with, feminism and racism, to destroy family, individualism, and Western culture. [356]

Women’s nurturing and humble devotion is a primary virtue predicated by Christianity, which makes the “last” “first” and the “proud” “last”. The power rules of the protestant cultures have been adopted by the corrupted Christian standards of capitalism. Which, however are still vastly superior to those of socialism. Therefore the material success of protestant cultures is considered a standard of true superiority. Thus, women’s Christian “first “ makes man dominant and “superior”, as well as the original Christian “first” makes the protestant material prosperity and capitalistic system “superior”. The relativity of female or male “superiority” is therefore conditional, valid only according to the arbitrary or accepted perspective. ******************************************
Political correctness carefully avoids the black genetic issue: valid in sports but presumably condemning in intellectual matters. Unproven prejudice says that the blacks have an IQ 10% lower than the whites, because their African history and subsequent enslavement favored muscles against brains. Both choice and necessity determine which prevails in given times and environments. Considering that we only use 10% of our brains, someone with a 10% lower IQ using 11% of his brains would rise to the level of those with a 10% higher IQ. Using 1% - or even 10-15%- more of the brain is what everybody does when focusing on mental efforts. Don’t know how to focus on your brain? It is motivation, man, desire, ambition. According to popular folklore, hillbillies and other conventionally disparaged categories may well be in the lower IQ levels. Lincoln was initially considered on that level. Well, he decided to rise where we all know he rose. By the way, he was very tall. In some societies, such people are reputed to be worse than 10% less intelligent. Which is another nonsense.

The hostility the leftists spawn against the rich is motivate by impatient malevolence, not by a noble search of justice. First, the fact that someone is rich doesn’t hurt anyone, unless he uses his wealth as power to oppress. Furthermore, the wealth that satisfies the wishes of the rich has been often the reason for the development of the knowledge, technology and science both rich and poor enjoy. Many artists, inventors, philosophers, would have never amounted to anything without the rich who sponsored them. Socialist systems which eliminated the rich in the name of justice and equality created societies of poor people governed by obtuse and often criminally oppressive bureaucracies. Poor people have become rich only in societies where wealthy people employed them and/or gave them opportunities to satisfy the “greed” of the rich, their own, and learn their ways. The alternative in a socialist environment is to become a profiteering dishonest apparatchik or an abusive and criminal outlaw.

Democratic ways to help the poor is to give them money and food and keeping them on the public dole, in order to protect and increase the power of the welfare bureaucrats (who are democrats, of course). The democratic way of “training” the poor to work, by the way, is primarily to employ more unionized trainers and increase their salaries, without real benefit for the poor, who are thereby permanently chained to poverty. Good education and competent teachers are the death knells of many teachers unions. The same applies to the programs for all kinds of “rehabilitation” for all kinds of persons, no matter how and by what handicapped or debilitated. In fact those programs only increase tax money allocations to their government agencies and bureaucrats, as their devastating results attest. Clinton welfare programs, for instance, were as poverty addicted as usual, until the conservative majority of the last 2 years forced the administration to introduce the back-to work methods. Conservatives and leftists specialize in seeking victory each for their own laws over the other’s. Each team competes for power, not for justice. They rationalize their aspiration to the point that each side becomes impervious to the reasoning of the other. This kind of struggle sinks beneath hypocrisy: their fight is openly beyond rules and beneath immorality. Dictatorial governments and alternating fights to the finish are looming. Their cycles have recurred under many shapes for centuries. The above is nothing new. Our social, moral, intellectual problems are destined to trend toward socialistic self-destruction if we don’t break the partisan impasse. Democrats tend toward Neosocialism, which suffocates individuals into equality. Conservatives can cripple justice in unfettered freedom. Tribal idols are replacing the universal god. [340]
***********************************
We are too interested in potholes rather than good road construction, indigestion rather than healthy food, money losses rather than money making, immorality rather than morality… Concentrating on repairing potholes, diarrhea, poverty, immorality does remarkably less than improving road construction, food quality, prosperity, morality…..
***********************************
Some anthropologists played records to stone-age Amazonians who had never met civilization before and were astounded that those primitives enjoyed Mozart rather than rock or jazz. An immigrant from a primitive country to America learns to drive a car, use a microscope and work on an electronics assembly line about as well as a born American. Starting at tender age, he would need no longer time than today’s Americans to learn Shakespeare or nuclear physics. That suggests there is no genetic cultural evolution between primitives and us to conclude that today’s generations are better capable to understand culture, human nature and society than our ancestors of many thousands of years ago. [110]
**************************************************
There is a decisive difference between the merely educated (no
matter how highly) and the creative. The former can use education to articulate
and foster their prejudices. The latter use education to evolve knowledge and
evolution. In related patterns, self-made rich develop into the image they
originally had of the rich and a resistance against the new competing rich.
Their children are educated by teachers of the “other class” and become
rebellious.
So, we have hippie tenured professors and “denim” dressed
billionaires who can pay any tax without hurting, who parade “social
consciousness” by advocating taxes for the “greedy” newly rich, to hamper their
competition.
Meanwhile, the rest of the population is mired in race, “minority”
problems, minimum wages, affirmative action, “self esteem”, financing school
buildings and teacher salaries, workers rights, accusing the rich’s greed,
proportional taxation…….
All of it has a pattern of avoiding correcting the causes and
remaining sand-banked in the consequences, namely helping and giving to the
poor, minorities, people with lower skills and education, while carefully
avoiding to require some efforts by them, because, as the mantra says, they have
suffered injustices (they are the most numerous constituency and politicians
need their votes).
The “rich”, of course, are to blame (and everybody wants to become rich and,
therefore, automatically mean) and have to pay, compensate, or else.
This widens the gap between poor and rich, because the poor are protected from
practicing the self improvement that the rich need to meet the legal obligations
of responsibility and taxation.
Politicians have no courage to tell the “minorities” that self-improvement
efforts, regardless how difficult or opposed, are the most important factor for
economic, financial, cultural and social improvement.
Without self-improvement endeavors, no amount of help can raise the “lower
class” people.
Education itself cannot be absorbed without active learning efforts. The kind of
“self esteem” the do-gooders love is crippling, because it hampers the
discontent of inadequacy necessary for the self-improvement efforts.
Happiness itself is impossible if it is not a continuous progress toward
something that is continuously ahead of us.
That is why we enjoy the ascent more than the goal. [355]

The past is over; the present becomes past as soon as
perceived.
Only the future exists and matters.
Past present and future coexist
when observed as components of the scenery of reality. All the above, however,
only results as shared perception with others.
Actually, we can imagine
traveling in time, but only as individuals without any interaction with others
(or even with ourselves ) of any other time. Example: we go back in time and
kill Columbus before he discovers America.
Consequently, no America as it is
today, and of Columbus progeny.
Therefore, the reality around us is only our
individual perception.
******************************************************
National decay begins with legislating opportunistic cultural/moral norms and life styles and neglecting rights and justice that may be politically incorrect.
********************************************************
Moral, philosophical and result frustration with life is
often due to an unbalance between merits and expectations.
****************************************
When Oklahoma Senator R. Kerr died (in 2002?), he left a $20 million
estate. The IRS immediately demanded $9 million tax from the heir, who could
only raise $3 million by selling everything within the prescribed time. That
forced them to borrow the remaining $6 million. They lost the estate and went
into debt.
The Dept. of Transportation fined my company $9000 for something they
erroneously believed we had committed. We would have certainly won the appeal,
but we elected to pay because the irrecoverable legal fees to appeal would have
cost more.
Many couples avoid marriage because they would pay more taxes if they
married.
Tax the rich and blame the employers has become a normal psychological
atmosphere after the start of the twentieth century, when the rich and employers
were admired as role models.
Then came the class struggles from Europe, where
they had started with the French Revolution and re-ignited by various Socialist
movements which could not succeed without discrediting all achievements of
Western culture, epitomized in the family, Judeo-Christian morality and
religion, free individual initiative, private property…
Taxation is the most
powerful implementation of financial leveling downward; leftist democracy is the
most efficient means of mediocrity enforcement;
gender feminism, homosexuality
and no-fault divorce are the most effective corrosion of family;
equality of results
is the killer of evolution, excellence, ambition and freedom.
If the above in not
enough, we may enjoy the national schizophrenia of rich and poor.
Virtually
everybody wants to become rich, at least have lots of money.
Yet, politicians,
the media and influential pundits attribute all our evils to the “rich” and “big
business”.
On the other hand, many of the greatest contributions to our progress
and national wealth have been made by rich individuals and big business.
This may shock the present populace that has been relentlessly programmed with
the Socialist "blame-the-rich" dogmas.
Previous to the Socialist fashion, rich
people and employers were the heroes of any society, because they symbolized
endeavor, success (merited or not), productivity, active ambition, hard work.
[333]
*********************************
The extend to which some men have become crawling sycophants
of feminism to court women’s approval is downright dishonoring.
One speaker
observed that a woman walking alone and knowingly in a dangerous neighborhood
cannot be accused of knowingly risking a rape, because we wouldn’t make a
similar accusation to a lonely man in the same contingency.
That, the speaker
said, proves that we don’t recognize the man-woman equality.
Equality of the
potential rapist and rape victim? Like that of the lion and gazelle?
This is
especially ludicrous, when we think that there are parallels of relative
comparison between femininity vs. masculine and gazelle vs. lion, in the sense
of instinctive defensive and aggressive posture.
***************************************
According to the
leftist liberals, any tax cut is only “for the rich”.
Well, poor people cannot
get a tax cut on taxes they don’t pay.
Taxes and handouts are legally and
otherwise incompatible.
Taxes take from money the taxpayer owns.
Handouts are
like charity.
Dishonest or confused leftists say that tax cuts to the rich are
handouts to the rich.
So, if that money didn’t belong to the rich to start with, are the
rich thieves?
Are then most leftists actual or potential thieves because hardly any of them
would refuse to become rich (and, therefore, rich thieves)?
Business tax
cuts are also called welfare to the business.
First, business earns the money
that is taxed. So, if the government collects 30% instead of 40% tax from the
business, leftists call it 10% welfare to the business.
False; it is 30% instead of
40% business welfare to the government.
The same applies to the individual tax.
Probably this is clearer yet: the fact that I a thief decides not to steal 1
million dollar from the rich, cannot be called "welfare to the rich".
Got it?
***************************************
Most media are afraid to focus on anything that may offend
below-“eight-grade-level” members of any militant minority or majority.
***************************************
Today’s feminism is about to shrink in US because it gave women political and legal power, but no cultural content.
***************************************
Survival struggle,
medicine, mutual help, love, healthy life can only delay death. Death always
wins.
Our ceaseless struggle against death seams illogical, because we suffer in
life, not in death. Furthermore, we live as we were not aware that our life is a
march toward death.
Apparently, what prevents our focusing on death is our
instinct to reproduce.
The opposite of death is not life but our reproduction
compulsion.
Life itself, therefore, is reproduction.

EPITAPH TO DEMOCRACY
Democracy is voting itself out, and will end like Socialism and despotism.
It is becoming the slowly self-destructing rule of mediocrity.
To be elected, candidates have to kiss babies, praise average people they
don't know, say things statistics find pleasing to the audiences, spend millions
of dollars in advertising that says as little as possible with words that
promise as much as possible about as little as possible.
Their vocabulary should not go beyond the public school 8th grade. Their
sentences should seldom go beyond short-attention-span requirements.
That can produce leaders even a lynching mob would like.
That is history.
Essentially, it is natural for
man (and woman, of course) to choose being led by a leader he trusts.
That gives a better sense of security and better hopes that relying on one’s
own knowledge of politics, translating community-affecting belief into action,
etc.
Therefore dictators, heroic men of action, chiefs, kings and, ultimately, gods
(supposedly the most trustworthy, because they know and do what man is unable
to know and do), and their reassuring knowledge, are the leaders and forms of
government we choose with a sort of logical instinct.
This choice is obviously the wisest available but for one reason that should
not be in the equation: who, in the history of mankind has been such a perfect
leader?
Not even God, if it is true that He did not know captain Kirk’s trick of
simply energizing and transporting by de-materializing and re-materializing
the Jews across the Red Sea from Egypt eastward.
Instead, he parted the Red Sea to enable the Jews to cross it on foot (without
mentioning the senseless drowning of the whole army of innocent Egyptian
soldiers in pursuit, when the sea was flooded back to submerge them ), and
then let them roam aimlessly in a desert Promised Land for 40 years without
any known reason...
The hapless Jews, the helpless Egyptian soldiers, and countless innocent
victims of bad judgment and downright incompetence of their leaders throughout
history are a sufficiently convincing case for democracy.
Now we live with the delusion that democracy is the “end of history” (said our contemporary writer Francis Fukuyama), because it is the final and perfect solution for all our political and social problems.
Since the intrinsic weakness
of democracy is the danger of getting ourselves hopelessly stuck in
irreconcilable differences, we have a constitution (open to an indefinite
number of “amendments” as remedying afterthoughts for what was missed at the
start).
Furthermore, we have laws after laws upon laws…, and laws to correct the laws,
etc.
All that would not be needed if democracy were such a good system.
At any rate, all the above is not able to reach a permanent solution.
According to the constitution,
for instance, the legislative and judicial branches of government were created
as totally independent of each other, to protect their integrity.
Politicians are unable to avoid continuous interference between judiciary,
legislative and executive branches.
They even promulgate new laws to make legal what had previously been declared
illegal.
After that, laws to flip-flop the previous laws.
Laws are continuously
contrived to permit one business group, bureaucrats, politicians, or interest
class to gain unfair advantages and even absorb entire categories of citizens.
This happens even when the laws are created to protect any class of citizens
from those abuses, because the intricacies themselves of those laws can be
manipulated by lawyers and/or politicians to any unpredictable end.
The results become unpredictable but also sacred, because they are declared
“the law of the Land” or “constitutional”.
They create “patriotic” reasons to favor one industry, union or group of
citizens to absorb one another.
They are forced to legislate the creation or elimination of monopolistic
trusts that are unavoidably caused be unfettered regulation or deregulation…
No matter how the process is controlled, more and more enterprises are eliminated by the competition and larger and larger power is concentrated in the hands of the fewer and fewer corporations or government groups that control the nation…
These groups end up
consolidating into the equivalent of a despotic mastermind similar to the
Socialist and communist government, no matter how they disguise themselves
behind mazes of bewilderingly intricate laws that ultimately only the
bureaucrats can pretend to manipulate…
*************************
A free capitalistic democracy is evolutionary, but
depends on the votes of the masses of the less endowed who were sidestepped in
the competition struggle.
That produces mediocre and histrionic presidents, like
F. D. Roosevelt (1882-1945), J. F. Kennedy (1917-1963) and Bill ( J.) Clinton
(1946- ), because mediocre voters seldom choose great leaders.
Roosevelt was an intellectual lightweight who manipulated voters and prolonged
the Great Recession by following his predecessors economic theories.
Kennedy was a combination of ghostwriting, scripts and acting (even his little
son’s military salute at daddy’s funeral was rehearsed).
Clinton was akin to a
morally obtuse one-dimensional almost-genius for political
manipulations.
To wit: the worsened situation of every country or
human environment where he intervened militarily or otherwise.

Moving from Illinois to Wisconsin is anti-family (no-fault divorce) and anti-individual freedom (forced 50/50 wealth division).

"Americans should unite to advance cultural values"]
Islamism or Civilization
World War II could have been avoided or minimized had the Free World heeded Churchill’s warnings.
“911” was an obvious harbinger of World War III, but the American logical counterattack is condemned by the opposition party…
Islamists are transforming Islam into an insatiable monster: "Kill or
enslave all infidels". The Koran offers NO ALTERNATIVES.
"911" demonstrated what the Islamists pursue if we don’t obliterate
(not just “correct”) their posture.
Our soldiers are now securely in locations with a unique strategic
advantage in the most vulnerable and vicious area of the Muslim world.
If we started landing and invading Iraq and/or Afghanistan only now, we would pay a much higher price in lives and means than we have paid so far for what would take much longer now. Not to mention the carnages the isolated Israel would have suffered.
Our
enemies are virtually nailed down from menacing sides...
If we retreated,
Afghanistan,
Iraq and Israel would not only be devastated, and our already sacrificed
heroes outrageously ignored, but our retreat itself would cause
nightmarish losses when the unavoidable necessity to reoccupy the area
would force us into renewed confrontations.
Moreover, all the terrorists now forced to confront us in the Middle East
would be unleashed to attack us in the USA.
What else do we thing would prevent the suicide bombers from destroying our sitting-duck skyscrapers, dams, schools, churches, factories, etc…?
For
the Muslims, the Koran is coessential with Allah, and prescribes enslaving
or killing the “infidels” (and specifically the Christian and Jews) who do
not convert to Islam.
That’s it.
Democrats and Republicans, let’s be united in advancing our cultural values. [274 words]
