Decoupling as Defiance – Opting Out of a Broken Contract.

I think we can all agree that 2020 was a year like no other in living memory – a Corona virus; global lockdowns; a stolen U.S. election & big tech crackdown – in a normal year any one of these would be the defining event.

However, I don’t think anyone truly believes that these monumental events are mere coincidences; the fact that they happened in the same relatively very short period of time suggests ‘intelligent design.’ The only thing that anyone should be shocked by, is just how rapidly these events have unfolded.

 ‘Everything in an election year is about the election.’    Tucker Carlson

In less than a year, an frail career swamp creature is president; the capital has been transformed into a fortress; a faux pandemic has closed down society; big tech now controls what you can say; the global economy is being collapsed before your eyes, and throughout all of which, the media have acted as party enforcers rather than the guardians of accountability, branding anyone who strays off the well-beaten narrative as a ‘domestic terrorist.’

Covid 19: Reasons to be Fearful of the Narrative

Then, just three hours after Biden’s inauguration, the WHO organization announces that, in an effort to eliminate a high number of false positive Covid 19 test results, they are going to raise the PCR test threshold, making way for an immediate drop in recorded cases worldwide. And just like that, Covid 19 starts to recede as a public health threat.

Already it seems clear that the Biden administration will not be hobbled in the same way Trump’s was, but it will need the $1.9 trillion already allocated to bail out failed city states like Chicago, New York & California, where local party potentates started calling for bars and restaurants to reopen on 15th January; the logic being, according to Mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago:

“People are engaging in risky behaviour that is not only putting themselves at risk, but putting their families, their co-workers, and other ones at risk. Let’s bring it out of the shadows. Let’s allow them to have some recreation in restaurants, in bars, where we can actually work with responsible owners and managers to regulate and protect people from COVID-19,”

Similar calls were also made by both Bill De Blassio of New York and Gavin Newsom in California.

Did you get that? Now that Joe Biden is to be president, we need to open the economy back up. Timing, as they say, is everything. Either these people think we are stupid, or they don’t care because they know it no longer matters.

Yes, no one cares what you think anymore; did you notice the shift? Big tech and the MSM have made that very clear; it’s just ‘shut up and stay indoors’, whilst we collapse society in front of your eyes under the pretence of a public health crisis.

In 2016 the people voted for the wrong candidate; in 2020 they made sure normal service was resumed.  Now the right people are back in charge and we are being treated to a reveal party for the forces of demonic tyranny that David Icke has spent the past 30 years warning us about. The fact that a significant percentage of the population is now disenfranchised does not matter to them; the trinity of kleptocratic diet Soviets, Big Tech and Soros planted lawmakers are now in the process of altering the political landscape permanently in their favour.

Those who challenge the official narrative are now labelled ‘domestic terrorists’ and pursued through the media & courts. This alone should be a clear indication that we are dealing with a tyranny; only tyrants brand anyone who does not agree with them as domestic terrorists – it says more about the accuser than it does the accused.

However, it fell to the last sane member of the Democratic Party, Tulsi Gabbard to point out what impotent swamp RINO’s should have been saying in light of the naked persecution of political opponents.

Gabbard pointed to a video of Brennan telling MSNBC that Biden’s nominees and appointees “are now moving in laser-like fashion to try to uncover as much as they can” regarding activities that he said were reminiscent of “insurgency movements” that have risen up in other countries.  In the same interview, Brennan likened libertarians to “religious extremists, authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists, [and] nativists.”

More Questions Than Answers

So where does this leave us? What, if any, influence do people have left?

Why would people who believe that their election was stolen from them continue to buy into a social contract that has robbed them of their collective voice? What incentive do they have?

Why would they bother to invest their time in the country and offer support to the systems that provide it with life and legitimacy?

As parent, why would anyone bother sending their kids to join the military under a Biden presidency, or for that matter, to defend any one of the woke theocracies that western liberal societies are rapidly becoming?

What would they be defending? The rights to a conveyor belt of Middle East regime change? The rights to forced migrant quotas created by those regime changes? And who would they swear allegiance to: the Globalist Elite and their pedo-kleptocracy?

Why would anyone continue to buy into disintegrating societal systems run by an illegitimate career criminals like Biden, or a Globalist twinkies like Trudeau?

Why would anyone continue to buy into their rigged casino economy, just to keep the patient artificially alive?

And the answer of course is: you wouldn’t. You would start to decouple from their tyranny of lies and abuse as quickly as humanly possible. And your certainly wouldn’t send your children to defend such putrid creatures.

Let the Islamic refugees and the transgender circus people fight it out for poll position in Trudeau’s or Biden’s dystopian freak show of a society.

All the rest of us have is protest and our ability to buy out of systems that require our support to exist. And that is the only voice we have left.

If They Fear You, They Won’t Fuck With You

Let’s get something straight: We are never going back to ‘normal’. Anyone who thinks we are at this stage is either deluded, or completely ignorant. What we need to figure out is our part in this ‘new normal’.

As the recent short squeeze rescue of failing businesses from the jaws of hedge funds has reminded us, we have no voice and no power other than our collective defiance. This recent action by day traders coming to the aid of their favourite stocks shows us what defiance against globalist tyranny could look like.

In early January, Former Trump Adviser, Steve Bannon floated the idea of a ‘commercial fast’; that patriots and conservatives stop purchasing and ‘hibernate’ as he called it, rather than continuing to feed the beast of oppression.

“You should obviously buy food, you’ve got to buy necessities, but it’s time to understand—your votes count, but your dollars count even more. And there’s two ways dollars go: taxes—let’s not go there yet, let’s just go to commercial spending. All MAGA world is going to sit there and we’re going to hibernate. There’s no need to buy anything right now outside of basic necessities,” (Full Article)

And that means that we have to re-evaluate every one of our relationships and service subscriptions. That means everything.

Those that have silenced or vilified us should no longer enjoy our engagement or support.

That means not shopping with Amazon; getting rid of Twitter; Facebook & Google; cancelling cable T.V; looking at who you bank with; for some people determined enough, that will mean pulling their children from a public school system that prioritizes ideological re-programming over education, and home schooling instead; looking at how your place of worship handled the crisis – did they stand up to tyranny and hold services despite the fines, or did they quietly close their doors and fail in their one duty before they had even been tested?

In light of what has taken place, all of these relationships should be on the table for review.

We have nothing left but our ability to buy out of contracts that require our involvement, and make trouble for 21st century tyrants by waging an asymmetrical guerrilla war against their assets. This war however, will have to be played out in theatres such as the economy; local governance; our religious communities & independent media.

Big tech might have scattered us; the mainstream media alienated us, but a scattered enemy that has gone to ground is a poor target. Trump was the lone voice, what emerges from the wilderness will be an evolved movement shorn of RINO’s and career politicians – lean, conservative, faith driven and comfortable operating within the guerrilla politics of the enemy. We must learn to take the weapons systems and operational tactics that the cultural Marxists employed against our target societies, and re-deploy them against our oppressors.

Too many people are still content to play along, hoping that one day they will get to go back to normal, unaware that they are the frogs in the parable, slowly being boiled in this Luciferian soup. This last point might be a stretch for some, but let it be understood: The people responsible for 2020 are in the service of evil. Satan now occupies the thrown of power through his NWO elite, and they are about to prosecute a war against everything of substance and good in this world.

The Great Break

In the late 1920’s Stalin embarked upon a program devised to eliminate the Kulaks – peasants of modest means who had risen to property ownership. The endeavour was the creation of the Soviet Central Committee and was termed, The Great Break. 

‘If a man had a brick house in a row of log cabins, or two-storeys in a row of one-story houses – there was your Kulak: Get ready you bastard… this is our great plan for transforming the country: history has never seen anything like it.’

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn – The Gulag Archipelago

However, according to Solzhenitsyn, the true purpose of The Great Break, was not to de-Kulakize, but to force the peasants into the Kolkhoz – collective farms; to remove them from the land that the Revolution had given them, just long enough to get them to sign up to a new deal that placed them back onto the same land, but now as serfs.

Those who did not apply, or were stubborn, were simply marched off into the wilderness in their tens of thousands to die of starvation & disease. The guards plucked whole communities from the land at an hour’s notice, packing them up onto carts and trucks – women, children & the elderly, driving them off into the wilderness to hastily erected camps. In total it is estimated that 15 million people were eradicated of in two years.

Those who remained were signed up to a new deal with reduced benefits.  

Now, nearly a hundred years later, we are being prepared for another new deal with a similar title, that serves the modern day version of the Central Committee – the World Economic Forum’s and their Great Reset – a pre-pandemic economic reset for the unsustainable debt based financial system & more.

Klaus Schwab, the Chairman of The World Economic Forum (WEF) authored a vision of a new deal for the world entitled… The Great Reset, and the WEF even had a video on its website (since removed), in which it describes what the world will look like in 2030 under The Great Reset. It is purposefully vague in regards to specifics, but it opens with: ‘What will the world look like in 2030? You will own nothing, but you will be happy…’

In September of 2020, during a video address to the U.N., Canada’s globalist errand boy & Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau admitted that ‘…this pandemic has offered a reset; this is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to re-imagine economic systems that actually address global challenges.’

Starting to sound familiar?

So, the obvious question is: who will own all the stuff we currently own? The Central Committee? The Party?

Thanks to the benefits of over 12 years of bail-outs and zero percent interest rates, this time around it looks like everything on planet earth is going to be owned by a small elite of woke and ultra wealthy feudal lords; people like Bill Gates, who is reported to have become one of the largest farmland owners in the U.S.; together with the Lex Luther of Online shopping, Jeff Bezos, and real world Tony Stark – Elon Musk.

After the Financial Crisis of 2008 it became clear that the global debt based economy was unsustainable. All it was waiting for was a Black Swan event to send it into a tailspin. Better to have the global elites collapse it safely under their supervision and replace it with something that ‘serves humanity.’

The Central Banks, World Bank & IMF all fully appreciated this, whilst they propped up a dead economy with money printing (Q.E) in order to give the illusion that the patient was still alive – millions became billions, which in turn became trillions.

As former Secretary for Housing, Catherine Austin Fitts puts it in a recent interview: ‘When the banks and those at the top are getting their money essentially for free – at near to zero percent interest, and you are being charged 16%, eventually they are going to own everything, and you will own nothing.’  

What Covid 19 has provided is an opportunity to reset the world financial system on a utopian model that also incorporates our next evolution into the fourth industrial revolution, and our inevitable assent into a trans-human future. It sounds like science fiction, and some will no doubt be excited by such a prospect, but there is little that we have seen from our utopian architects to suggest that it will be any better than the deal offered by the Soviet Central Committee back in 1929.

For those who sign up to the new Kolkhoz, the future will be one of inclusion and relative safety as serfs under the protection of a techno-feudal elite and one world government. But for those who fail to sign up to The Great Reset; who are stubborn and refuse to be vaccinated or chipped?

They will be driven out into the wilderness like their predecessors; denied the right to travel; trade or engage in society; their unvaccinated children will be denied education; they will be impoverished, and then caste out into small far flung communities to succumb to poverty & disease.  

The Deep State Meat Grinder In Need Of Constant Feeding

It should be apparent to an ever growing number of people right now, that the people who run our societies in the West do not have our best interests at heart.

I’m not talking about the people you vote for, I’m talking about the people who really run things and direct policy across the entire spectrum of western liberal democracies; common policies that effect all our societies regardless of individual circumstance.

Open door immigration policies are a good example of this: waves of destabilizing migration that no one voted for and no one was consulted on before quiet introduction. These engineered coercive programmes  are common to all western liberal societies regardless of their individual circumstances. And nothing creates a heavy flow of migrants better than regime change and war. In this department, our shadow globalist governments clearly have a healthier appetite for the steady flow of of middle east regime change, most their populations find increasingly hard to stomach.

That’s where their remoras in the deep state media come in; CNN; MSNBC & the NY Times et al. were all onboard, and if you aren’t yet, there’s something wrong with you; you’re a fascist or conspiracy theorist or something (delete as appropriate). The only person you could find railing against this harried & questionable action into potential war with a nuclear power was Tucker Carlson.

During this current headlong lunge into war in Syria, it should be acutely obvious to anyone with a modicum of awareness, that public opinion is being massaged into accepting yet another toppling of a middle east strongman in order to transform what was a relatively stable society into a jihadi playground.

Regime change equals power vacuums, regional instability, and Islam rushing in to fill the void. Libya Iraq & Syria all stand as testaments to this.

The globalist deep state governments of the west also have an unhealthy relationship with Islamic terror & extremism. It’s relationship of mutual interests that goes back to the 1980’s of Zbigniew Brzezniski & the Afghan Mujahedin (his daughter, Mika Brzezinski btw, currently cheerleads for deep state media outlet MSNBC). Whilst ISIS were only defeated after Trump turned off the cash and equipment tap that Obama had running for them.

Currently, the U.S. is supporting ‘moderate rebel groups’ in Syria that also happen to be Islamic extremists, who have vowed to eradicate the Christian & Alawite populations if they get the opportunity. Assad is the only thing sitting between them and the genocide of these ancient Christian & Alawite communities of Syria.

Of course the deep state governments of the west don’t care about that. They will stand back and watch these minority groups be wiped out; refusing to grant them legitimate refugee status, whilst welcoming back unmolested, the fighters who had been engaging in their genocide, as was recently the case in Canada.

Chemical Weapons Attack Staged by Islamic Jihadi Propagandists

The conflict threatening to unfold in Syria has little to do with chemical weapons; abhorrent regimes or decency; if it did, they would be bombing Saudi Arabia for the famine in Yemen they are perpetuating.

No. This has everything to do with the shopping list of regime change General Wesley Clarke spoke of soon after the 9/11 attacks, and everything to do with being the latest battlefront in the war between deep state globalists and the nation state nationalists.

The tipping point for buying their exhausted narrative and being able to look at oneself in the mirror, has been reached. Everyone needs spend more time listening to the little voice inside and less time suckling on the sweet milk of deep state propaganda being provided by mainstream media cheerleaders like Mika Brzezinski and Steven Colbert.

Green Party of BC gets screwed… again.

The Green Party of Canada and their provincial lesser groups have never been good at politics. Even in the early days the Greens had difficulty agreeing on core principles. Were they an environmental movement or just a bunch of unemployed pot heads who wanted their feelings heard?

During the 2015 federal election hopes were high that the Green Party could win seats in the House of Commons but to date, only Elizabeth May from the Vancouver Island riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands managed to round up enough hippies to cast a ballot.

This humiliating defeat at the hands of the federal Liberals on home turf seemed to stir them into action and by the fall of 2017 the provincial Green Party of BC managed to win three seats in the provincial election.

Remarkably, when the provincial Liberals couldn’t secure a majority, these three seats would give the Greens the power to choose the next government. Finally, for the first time in Canadian history, the Green Party had been invited to the negotiating table. Both the Liberal and the New Democrat parties invited them to dinner and told them how special they were.

They were the king makers and when the opportunity came to negotiate for themselves a role in the government, like for example a cabinet seat or a bigger say in provincial affairs, they fumbled it. They totally shat the bed. The Greens just handed power to the New Democrats and sat at the back of the room with nothing but a promise from the NDP that the Site C dam project, which they apposed would be halted. A position both the Greens and the NDP campaigned on.

But anyone who knows Canadian politics, knows it doesn’t take long for governments to break promises, even to the schleps who helped them win.

Six months after taking power, the NDP broke their promise to the Green Party and chose to continue building the controversial Site C dam that is already six billion over budget and will flood thousands of acres of farm land in the Peace River Valley.

If the Green Party well and truly wished to halt the Site C dam project, all they had to do was call a motion of non confidence, topple the government and trigger new elections but once again, they did nothing. Choosing instead to ‘work with the government’.

The Greens, it seems, at the moment they had the opportunity to do the very thing they vowed to do if in power, chose to drop their pants, lay down and take it from behind.

Because that’s what assholes are good for.

 

Is BitCoin an NSA creation?

Was bitcoin an NSA creation? David Icke seems to think so.

According to the world famous Truth Seeker:

“…it’s now becoming increasingly evident that Bitcoin may be a creation of the NSA and was rolled out as a “normalization” experiment to get the public familiar with digital currency. Once this is established, the world’s fiat currencies will be obliterated in an engineered debt collapse (see below for the sequence of events), then replaced with a government approved cryptocurrency with tracking of all transactions and digital wallets by the world’s western governments.

Read Full Article Here

What evidence supports this notion? Documents released in 1997 — yes, twenty years ago — detailed the overall structure and function of Bitcoin cryptocurrency.

Who authored these documents? Try not to be shocked when you learn it was authored by “mathematical cryptographers at the National Security Agency’s Office of Information Security Research and Technology.”

So before you bet on bitcoin, perhaps ask yourself. Is the reward worth the risk?

 

French Canada Bans Hello

The French Canadian province of Canada has banned its citizens from saying ‘Hello’.

Last week, the provincial legislature called the National Assembly of Quebec passed a motion banning store clerks or anyone in the service industry from saying ‘Hi’ or ‘Hello’ in English, mandating that all greetings must be said only in French.

Anything other that ‘Bonjour’ or ‘Bonsoir’ are not legally permissible.

Canadian mainstream media hardly reported it as most Canadians are weary of the on going racist language laws of Quebec known as Bill 101.

Though, it was mentioned briefly online here on Global News.

This latest attack on English and English Canadians comes on the heals of the provinces Niqab ban alternatively called the ‘Religious Neutrality Law’. Article Here.

Like in George Orwell’s book 1984, Quebec laws are given names opposite their actual function. As Quebec’s ban on English is defended as a ‘protection of French culture’, the ban on the Niqab is masked as a ‘Neutrality’ bill to reinforce Quebec’s ‘values’. Namely their racist values.

If these laws had been passed in English Canada, there would have been a media uproar and accusations of discrimination, as were hurled against former Prime Minister Stephen Harper when his government chose to require new Canadians to remove face coverings during citizenship ceremonies.

Yet, French racism has been allowed to stand for nearly 50 years. It seems French Canadians disagree with the Prime Minister they helped elect. Diversity it seems, is not our strength.

 

 

 

VICE Media is FUBAR

As If the devastating fires that destroyed thousands of homes in Fort McMurray wasn’t enough for the residents of Northern Alberta, suffering locals have to watch themselves be the butt of the Joke in VICE Media’s latest TV show, FUBAR: Age of Computer.

Watch Here

Based on the cult film FUBAR made in 2002, Age of Computer is a rehash of the same characters doing the same thing; getting wasted and being stupid, but the joke comes at the tax payers expense.

Funded in part by Canadian Arts and Film grants, FUBAR not only makes light out of the tragedy in Fort Mac by implying it was the characters themselves that started the fires but they also go about exploiting the system that supported the survivors.

Fans of the show, and there are many, love the characters (I was once one of them) but unlike the personalities they portray, the actors (Dave Lawrence and Paul Spence) are not at all like the real people they make fun of. They are left wing hipsters who are too cool for regular people.

The original film was a Canadian hit because the performances were so realistic. Yet now, as is true with most Vice Media productions, the subject IS the joke. While Bob and Doug McKenzie (of SCTV fame) were affable, fun, good natured hosers, the actors in FUBAR are not. Instead of  having fun with the Canadian banger stereotype, they are making fun of the Canadian head banger. The very people who watch the show. To Spence and Lawrence they are losers to be exploited for financial gain.

Apart from Michael Dowse (the director and co-creator of FUBAR) who has made a name for himself since his directorial debut making films world wide, Lawrence and Spence have had a lacklustre career which is why they had to return to the only thing they were good at; making fun of others.

It should be noted that the trio (who now reside in Quebec) went out of their way to include and be respectful towards French culture by creating an unnecessary character who is French Canadian. Presumably because the TV show was shot in Montreal and not Calgary where the show takes place. In Canada it’s ok to make fun of Alberta (English Canadians) but not Quebec (French Canadians) because that would be racist.

In light of VICE Media’s current sexual harassment issues (that appear to be long running and systemic) it is not hard to understand their Machiavellian business model. Appeal to the consumer (and young attractive staff) by presenting a false image. That of progressive, sensitive, socially conscious, equality minded, justice warrior journalism. When in fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

Under VICE’s bogus appearance lies a pair of cut throat business men in Shane Smith and Suroosh Alvi who stabbed their co-founder Gavin McGinnis in the proverbial back like Brutus killed Caeser in the Roman senate 2000 years ago. When the time came, the two saw that the genius behind VICE magazine’s success had to go and forced him out by hostile take over. Today, VICE Media is reported to be worth 5.5 billion.

It is an empire built on the humiliation of the very people who read, watch and consume their products. Under the premise of Journalism or ‘telling peoples stories’, VICE media engages in the mondo ‘Elephant Man’ type exploitation of it’s subjects.

The ‘Look at this person, his life is hard, poor guy. Aren’t you glad you’re not him?’ kind of story telling.

Just like VICE Media, (and the Canadian arts funding bodies that helped produce it) FUBAR: Age of Computer is a tone deaf, pile of insulting garbage.

Islamic Terror: Reaping the Whirlwind

So, up until this point those who find themselves steering the Islamic- Progressive alliance were under the impression that they could operate policies, within which, Islamic terrorists could mount an increasing number of terror attacks on the host society, whilst the guardians of the progressive narrative would deflect responsibility and maintain victim status for Muslims.

This new norm of accepting terror incidents as ‘part and parcel of living in a modern society’ suited both parties in their shared ultimate goal – the destruction of the traditional societal model. However, this model is not to be applied in the case of blowback from the target society.

Like the boiled frog, the domestic population were to be kept inactive by an ideologically subversive narrative and coercively silenced whilst the temperature of the water was slowly increased.

However, there comes a point where some of the frogs slowly being boiled realize what is happening and try to save themselves.

In 1942, British Air Chief Marshall, Arthur ‘Bomber’ Harris referenced a biblical quote (Hosea 8:7) when he made a radio broadcast to announce the RAF’s first thousand bomber raid on Germany.

“The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else, and nobody was going to bomb them. After Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they have put that rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.”

Up until this one response to now countless Islamic terror attacks across Europe, the permitted response has been to employ hashtags; wash our profile pictures & offer instantly discardable thoughts and prayers.

Now there has been an attack on a group, who had until this point had been dolling out almost relentless violence, that response is suddenly no longer enough. Now we need to ‘crush the poison narrative’; we need sweeping laws to protect Muslims, so that they can continue to ideologically support extremists without interference or fear for their safety.

Today, Julie Lenarz in the relatively sober Telegraph argues that Failing to confront far-right terrorism will only embolden the other barbarians among us. Er, no Julie, confronting and tackling Islamic extremism is where we need to focus our energy. Scores of attacks across Europe, and we need to tackle the mindset behind one response? That is some perverse logic you’re afflicted with there.

There is no attempt to understand why something like this happened; no attempt to disassociate the actions of one from a broader group; no mercy in their words this morning for those they see has holding unacceptable views; views they clearly find more disturbing than the ideology behind the frequency of Islamic terror attacks we are now being asked to accept as ‘normal.’

Meanwhile, in the real world of actions and consequences, as if treating the host society to near relentless terror attacks was ever going to play out well for a group that makes up 5% of the population.

Not all Muslims are extremists or support such actions, but a significant minority believe things that are incompatible with a functioning liberal democracy.

I lived in Finsbury Park for many years. Finsbury Park mosque was notorious a hornet’s nest of extremism & then home to hate preacher, Abu Hamsa before his extradition to the U.S. on terror charges.

It was so infamous, that visiting football fans being escorted to the nearby Arsenal ground of Highbury would shout abuse at the intimidating group who would hold prayers on the pavement under the watchful eye of Hamsa.

Abu Hamsa leading prayers outside Finsbury Park mosque

It’s very hard to feel sorry for such people, and Finsbury Park mosque could be considered a high value target. However, the mosque that was attacked was across the street, so the suspicion is that the attacker confused the two.

London mayor Sadiq Khan & Labour’s Diane Abbott were declaring it a ‘terrorist attack’ within hours; something for which ideological motive needs to be present; something they were both very reluctant to do when the assailants were from the religion of special needs.

The speed with which they have declared intent and aportioned blame to Islamafauxbia should be noted. We would be very interested to know what sort of phobia Islamic terrorist suffer from. Of course, I am being disingenuous, Islamic terrorists are not treated to the same ideological vilification by the left.

None of this should come as any surprise. Once again we see the same alliance – Islam & the left sharing the same narrative; actively targeting any resistance to the now endless orgy of Islamic violence across Europe, and ultimately sharing the same goal: the undermining of structured and functioning Western societies.

Camille Paglia on Trump, liberals, transgenders, and jihad

New interview with Camille Paglia in the Weekly Standard, in which she delves into the current derangement of our society and the media complicity thereof… plus why Trump won and will keep on winning as the Democrats keep on whining.

 

On Trump’s detractors:

There seems to be a huge conceptual gap between Trump and his most implacable critics on the left. Many highly educated, upper-middle-class Democrats regard themselves as exemplars of “compassion” (which they have elevated into a supreme political principle) and yet they routinely assail Trump voters as ignorant, callous hate-mongers. These elite Democrats occupy an amorphous meta-realm of subjective emotion, theoretical abstractions, and refined language. But Trump is by trade a builder who deals in the tangible, obdurate, objective world of physical materials, geometry, and construction projects, where communication often reverts to the brusque, coarse, high-impact level of pre-modern working-class life, whose daily locus was the barnyard. It’s no accident that bourgeois Victorians of the industrial era tried to purge “barnyard language” out of English.

 

On the the liberal non-reactions to jihadism:

Citizens have an absolute right to demand basic security from their government. The contortions to which so many liberals resort to avoid connecting bombings, massacres, persecutions, and cultural vandalism to Islamic jihadism is remarkable, given their usual animosity to religion, above all Christianity.

 

On transgenders:

I am highly skeptical about the current transgender wave, which I think has been produced by far more complicated psychological and sociological factors than current gender discourse allows. Furthermore, I condemn the escalating prescription of puberty blockers (whose long-term effects are unknown) for children. I regard this practice as a criminal violation of human rights.

… Biology has been programmatically excluded from women’s studies and gender studies programs for almost 50 years now. Thus very few current gender studies professors and theorists, here and abroad, are intellectually or scientifically prepared to teach their subjects.
