True But Forbidden 11

“From what I’ve been able to tell from news reports, here is the Democrats’ 2020 campaign platform in a nutshell: ‘We hate you, we *really* hate Jews, we hate babies, we hate America, and we want you to starve. Now give us all your guns.’” The Morning Rant
What about the plastics in our oceans and in every molecule of our bodies? Naw, I prefer trillion dollar subsidies to the well-connected. Will we go to the moon again, and in that epic effort unleash our imagination to discover the bottoms of the oceans and the cures for diseases which have so long ailed us? Naw let’s talk more about socialism, let’s race to the bottom embracing again for the umpteenth time the ideology of loss and stupidity and death, as so many others have. It’s more correct after all for if no star burns very bright my nakedness is much less obvious… Of course we – too – know the answer to our arriving ordeal. When I say “we” I mean the west. But instead of seeking solutions we are instead engaged in an epic fight (a historic bait and switch) over who will be the elites who will find their spots in our modern day Noah’s Ark. And those who fight it out on Twitter – to their own destruction…? – cannon fodder in the culture wars. Our Coming Dystopia
A Revered Photojournalist’s Chronicle of Lower Manhattan on the Brink of Transformation But when Lyon looked at them he saw “fossils,” traces of life dating back to before the Civil War. So, with funding from the The New York State Council on the Arts, he set out with a view camera, slipping in and out of demolition sites from the East River to the Hudson. In a project he titled “The Destruction of Lower Manhattan,” he photographed the folks leaving buildings and those tearing them down, and, in so doing, documented the social dismantling that buzzes under every project billed as urban renewal.
The Supplicant This is why people like Mr. Olsen are much less generous with people on our side than with his alleged opponents on the Left. Because his role is defined by the Left and his morality is defined by the Left, he has no choice but to defend the Left. An attack on the Left is felt as an attack on him. If the Left is ever forced into retreat, Mr. Olsen will be there with the other camp followers, padding along behind them. Without the Left, he and the other toadies of Conservative Inc. are nothing. They no longer exist.
It’s why the so-called Right, despite the facts on the ground, cannot stop themselves from stabbing the people to their right. It’s not professional jealously or a fear of their donors getting vexed with them. Sure, there is some of that, but those excuses always come after the knee-jerk reaction against dissidents. Guys like Mr. Olsen are entirely dependent on the Left to define their lives and give meaning to their efforts. They are as much a part of the Left as the house slave is a part of the master’s household.
Ideology—that is what gives evildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others’ eyes, so that he won’t hear reproaches and curses but will receive praise and honors. That is how the agents of the Inquisition fortified their wills: by invoking Christianity; the conquerors of foreign lands, by extolling the grandeur of their Motherland; the colonizers, civilization; the Nazis, by race; the Jacobins (early and late), by equality, brotherhood and the happiness of future generations.

The Kwakwa̱ka̱’wakw (or Kwakiutl) are an indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest Coast, covering the territory of British Columbia on northern Vancouver Island and the adjoining mainland, and on islands around Johnstone Strait and Queen Charlotte Strait.
United by the common language of Kwak’wala, the broad group can be divided into 13 nations, each with its own clan structure and distinct histories. According to Kwakwaka’wakw folklore their ancestors (‘na’mima) came to a given spot — by way of land, sea, or underground — in the form of ancestral animals that upon arrival shed their animal appearance and became human.
The first documented contact with Westerners was in 1792 during the expedition led by English officer Captain George Vancouver, and was soon followed by colonies of Europeans settling on Canada’s West Coast. As was often the way, with settlers came disease and the Kwakwaka’wakw population dropped by up to 75% between 1830 and 1880. Their distinctive ideas about wealth — that status came not from how much you owned but how much you were able to give away — came to the particular attention of the US anthropologist Franz Boas, who wrote extensively on their elaborate gift-giving ceremonies known as “potlach”. The ceremonial practice was also a particular target of Christian missionaries who saw it as a major obstacle to their “civilising” mission, and the Canadian government banned the practise in 1885 (although the act was soon amended, proving impossible to enforce).

The French Genocide That Has Been Air-Brushed From History – Crusaders for Liberty were relatively sparing in their use of the bayonet. Men, women and children were more often shot, or burned alive in their houses. Some of the Crusading soldiers had the idea of lighting ovens, stoking them and baking Vendeen families in them. Babies were not spared; nor were toddlers or small children. The usual practice was to kill babies in front of their mothers, then kill the mothers. Young girls were often drowned, after first being raped. Widows were usually beaten, insulted and drowned. Though there was no established standard procedure.
The Generation That’s Lost Its Way or “We’re All Bozos On This Bus” I’m not blaming them, they’ve been subjected to anti-capitalism pro-Gaia propaganda since they were old enough to watch Sesame Street. They were praised for everything and nothing, collected gold stars and participation trophies without ever even having to try. They’ve been taught that the culture they were born into is nothing but the summary of 9 evil isms: Capitalism, Colonialism, Racism, Sexism, Classism, Ableism, Ageism, Heterosexism, and Anti-Semitism – although that last one is now open for negotiation. Current proposal is to replace it with Islamophobia.
Seems like a whole lotta chaos going on there.
Can anyone verify it?
It’s pretty calm back here in the sticks, as usual, so the only way I know about the chaotic world is by deciphering pixels.
If the pixels ain’t lyin’ it’s all bound to fly apart pretty soon, no?
My first regular paying job, that I usually put into buying science-fiction paperbacks, was delivering newspapers. Yes, a paperboy, with a bag and a bicycle . I’m fairly sure if you asked a 10 year old kid today if he wanted to be your paperboy he’d spray you with mace. No more hometown newspapers means no more paperboys.
The single biggest location on my route was a small, local nursing home. When my mother began her decline and I couldn’t take care of her anymore, she went to a nursing home. First time I visited her there, as I walked into her wing the smell and sight of the slowly shuffling residents brought back memories of the year I spent delivering the daily newspaper to that other ‘home’. At that age it seemed like it was the only time I walked into a room and the occupants smiled and were happy to see me. Back then I delivered the papers into the room, today a sign at the front door directs the papers and magazines be left at the front desk. (and never seem to make it into the residents rooms I found out)
It was one of the experiences of my life; the job, my own money, seeing what the end of life could look like. What do the kids today experience on their own? Other than four hours of “Grand Theft Auto”.
I had to come over here and bitch. Thanks ahead of time.
Democrats. Drudge has Beto (bullshit name: he’s f-ing Irish) calling himself a “capitalist”. This other dem candidate, I think his name is Wangk, says the same. Schultz, who monkey-wrenched Starbux and then quit: also a capitalist. I call bullshit. They have to put that out as a disclaimer because they know they have an anvil around their collective necks. The fact that they start out with “I’m a capitalist!” has me feeling they are liars.
I’m trying to explain to my son the basics of American capitalism, which has been propagandized by the dems as evil, and now that they want your vote they are all of a sudden, shazam! such. Newsflash: how do you confiscate large percentages of wealth, flush it down the shithole, and call that capitalism? Wealth is held by private citizens, is the representation of things (not services), and trends towards unfettered trade.
Do capitalists have welfare? Sure. Also: charity. Out the ass!

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
