The left controls art and now the hearts and minds of the nation

One of my documentaries on a village founded by German immigrants in Jamaica had a comment made on it today.
It was made by an afro centric black supremacist wishing death on all of the white Jamaican's that lived in this village for all of their oppression that he assumed they cast upon the black populace.
This afro centric had a picture of che guevera on as his facebook profile picture.
There are many depictions of che guevara in cinema and art portraying him as a dark skinned meztizo or amerindian.
These are all false portrayals Che and Fidel Castro were white.
Its interesting how historic figures from thousands of years ago can be morphed through artist depictions but we are talking the modern era with Che and Fidel Castro only died a few years ago and more than half of the world thinks each man was non white.
Both men were fully of European stock and are embraced by leftists and anti white elements from La Raza hispanic extremists to afro centric white genocide supporting ANC members.
It seems if you create artistic depictions and use perception to control peoples minds and manipulate hard enough and long enough the perception of the masses will be morphed into any idea you will.
I have had countless conversations with black supremacists and afro centrics who insist Che and Castro were non white and express their admiration for them because they " make white people scared".
I do not support manipulating people the way the political left does but i do support using media and art as a weapon and a means of brining truth.
The right wing has neglected art for so long that now as a consequence the hearts and minds of generations belong to leftists and neo liberal corporate elites.
Reality belongs to them and they can make life imitate art.
Reality means nothing, demonstrative evidence means nothing but the emotion and experience through depictions and the powerful emotions they create over ride reality.
Emotion is more powerful than logic and the heart is higher than the mind.
The heart cancels out thought and wins over the individual almost every time.
If we do not take art and media back we will lose.

Left wingers becoming more pro gun?

Since before the election of trump I have been noticing large numbers of neo liberals and leftist becoming fairly pro gun to varying degrees.
They have various reasons and various ideas on gun control but I find it interesting how many leftists I meet are gun owners.
leftists and marxists owning guns and being pro gun is not a new phenomenon just think back to the black panther party or the weather underground.
Various left wing radicals in the 60s and 70s were pro gun.
But I am sure like the marxists of Russia, China and Cuba they would disarm all ethnic groups and political groups that disagree with them on any level in a heart beat.
I actually went out shooting not long ago with a liberal democrat.
We discussed topics like gun control and he is of course for more gun control but not completely anti gun and is a member of a gun and hunting club.
I know its sounds strange especially the fact that I would have any civil discussion and activity with a liberal democrat but I did and he did enjoy shooting and gun collecting.
This was something we could bond over and put our politics aside.
The left wing anti gun agenda chimes on and of course the left wing circles are still brimming with anti gun morons but some leftist want guns.
 keep this in mind according to what history has taught us do not count on them wanting you to have them.

Is the US heading toward Balkanization?

Many people, the opinions of whom I greatly respect, have written on the state of politics and society in the US in such a way as to suggest the possibility of the US moving into a period of similar to what was seen in the former republic of Yugoslavia from the mid 1980's through to the late 1990's, referred to by many as Balkanization. I'm certainly in agreement with these bloggers and writers, Matt Bracken being just one example.


The political, sociological, ethnic and racial trajectory in the US is eerily similar to that of the former Yugoslavia in many ways. In the coming years, this could even expand into the sphere of religion, though for now there doesn't seem to be such widespread religious friction as much as there is racial/ethnic and political.


The similarities begin where Yugoslavia's end did: With the economy. It's always the economy. Yugoslavia was totally socialist in their economic model. For you on the left, yes, it was indeed "real" socialism, complete with the never-ending litany of financial Band-Aid's designed mainly to keep the rigged carnival game going for as long as possible for whomever was sitting at the top getting rich. The US economy may not appear to be socialist in the same way, for whatever reason many Americans maintain the idea of some bastardization of capitalism corrupted by, well, socialists.


Both Yugoslavia and the US endlessly investigated and studied how best to fix the economic woes, and some decent ideas, even some great ideas, were formulated... And then were largely ignored, either due to a lack of will to implement them or a lack of ability. Probably it was lack of political will, since in both country's cases, the ideas that would have worked best included laundry lists of major money cuts and reductions of federal power. The politicians in power are generally never going to go for a plan like that. They'd rather drive the train straight off the cliff themselves before letting someone else drive it to safety.


The idea so far is that the economic system in the US is simply not sustainable. The Band-Aid of borrowing more money from the US public, China, Japan, etc. and periodically raising the debt ceiling to allow it is not going to work forever, and it doesn't require one to have any advanced understanding of economics to grasp this. You don't need to be an expert economist to realize that $20 trillion in debt and hundreds of trillions more in unfunded liabilities is virtually insurmountable at this point. The fact that the US dollar is the currency of the world is not going to shield us from the inevitable forever. The economic problems that Yugoslavia faced in the early 1980's, and that the US now faces, are like a lit match being held over a barrel of gasoline.


And that leads me to discuss that gasoline.


Yugoslavia had an extremely diverse country racially, ethnically and religiously. The geographic location and the early economic prosperity (or the illusion of it) attracted a lot of people from all sorts of backgrounds. After a while, the government began to show heavy favor toward certain ethnicities at the expense of others. Rigorous controls were put on employment and educational systems, favoring one ethnic group over the other with claims that there was history of abuse that needed to be atoned for. Criminal behavior by members of certain ethnic or racial groups were largely ignored by the media and law enforcement apparatus, while even the most benign actions of other groups were seized upon and used for narrative building.


Does any of this sound familiar? In the US we have a long list of "protected" groups who are favored with advantages in employment, educational and entitlement systems. Race alone is often used by the media and government, often one and the same, to build a narrative of victimization.


In Yugoslavia circa 1980's, and in the US today, you'd see a very socially diverse people from numerous ethnic, racial, economic and religious backgrounds. When these diverse groups mingle and mix, everyone has to accept that different cultures will have friction arise when the "negative" aspects of a particular culture become unacceptable to another. In times such as those, it's necessary for the opposing cultures to have the freedom and ability to separate for a peaceful outcome. Problems arise, always, when incompatible cultures are forced to mix in society with no avenue for voluntary separation, and these problems are heavily exacerbated when government and media get involved to force one culture to accept and integrate what they feel are the "negative" aspects of the opposing culture. An obvious and perhaps overly-simplistic example is when white, Christian American citizens are forced to accept and live alongside immigrants who wish to practice Sharia law and alter their own lives and habits in order to accommodate some of these sensitivities. A very basic example, yes, but I think it makes the point.


We are meant to swallow the lie that says "diversity is our strength" without consideration for merit, performance, ability, intelligence or actual results.


This is not meant to be an indictment on any specific culture or ethnicity, but more of a history lesson, a social observation and a dire prediction.


The history lesson is the continued failure of all socialist based economic models, whether we want to consider them "real" socialism or not. The sort of hard socialism seen in 1980's Yugoslavia and the crony-capitalist soft socialist version seen in the US today are both examples of that failure system. As I stated earlier, it does not take any level of economic expertise to understand that our current system is insolvent and that we have passed the point of no return on a future crash of our financial system. Now that less than half of the people in the US are net-taxpayers and over half of the people in the US are receiving some sort of government assistance simply to survive, we have become a welfare state, with only decreasing numbers of producers with increasing numbers of consumers. Mathematically, it is not sustainable. Historically, it is disastrous.


The social observation is that such a mass of diverse peoples must have a voluntary pressure outlet in order to maintain peace. We must accept reality that not all cultures are able to be forced together with peaceful results. Forced proximity, with advantages, disadvantages and blame doled out to certain peoples, with a lack of opportunity to separate peacefully will always result in strife and eventual violence.


The dire prediction is one that is easy to see coming: An eventual economic failure is the lit match, while the total lack of national cultural identity is the gasoline. The media and governmental apparatchiks stand by to stoke the fires.


We are Yugoslavia circa 1980's.


My advice? Stay out of Sarajevo.

Woodpile Report liked our piece.

Apparently Ol' Remus at the Woodpile Report liked our piece that got published at AP.

My gratitude, sir.

If you haven't looked at the WR, you should. There is something interesting for everyone, whether you're politically inclined or not, and Remus's footnotes are insightful.

Update: Also to be found at WRSA, a blog that absolutely MUST be placed near the top of your daily reading.

Here's what you see when you go to Gab.com


Balkanization in the US: Is it coming?

An article posted to American Partisan, written by your's truly. Thanks to AP for contacting me and giving me a great opportunity.

Please head over and read the article, and then make sure to put AP in your daily reading. Kit Perez, NCScout, DTG and several others all writing for the same site is great. A wealth of knowledge.

Gab.com is going down, at least for now.

Right now, Gab.com is in the midst of another attack against it, having been given a deadline by the hosting provider. Gab is a message board extremely similar to Twitter, but without the extreme censorship. It's a platform for free speech, one of the few left online. This has been a very important and influential website over the last many months, especially for right wing thinkers who can't get a word in edgewise on outlets like Facebook and Twitter. My account there is @JeffersonLocke. A lot of the more influential Gabbers and bloggers are advising followers to seek them out on their blogs or on backup websites. Concerned American at WRSA is one of them.

The message today from founder and CEO Andrew Torba:

"Breaking: @joyent, Gab's new hosting provider, has just pulled our hosting service. They have given us until9am on Monday to find a solution. Gab will likely be down for weeks because of this. Working on solutions. We will never give up on defending free speech for all people."

I'll keep y'all posted. An hour ago, I was able to access the site with some slowdowns and a few error messages. At this moment, most of my attempts yield a "500" error message.

The fight is happening in real time.

New Democrat Campaign Ad.

Head over to the Raconteur Report and see the new ad the Democrats have put out. Should be educational.

Basic pointers on getting healthy (that you should probably already know).

I think everyone is always looking for the easiest way to do things, and being healthier is no different. It's not necessarily a bad thing to look for an easy way to do something, it's often very effective and efficient. Here are a few pointers that you can probably figure out on your own, but if you had, you'd already be doing them...

-Stop smoking. That includes vaping and smoking weed. Your lungs are meant to inhale oxygen, and no matter how many things you think weed is an absolute cure for, you're not going to convince this RN that inhaling smoke of any type is healthy.

-Stop drinking soda. Soda is loaded with sugar and is the highest sugar intake item in the regular diet of many Americans. The first thing that many physicians will tell you when you ask "how do I lose a few pounds?" is going to be "cut the soda out." That includes diet soda. If you're looking to get healthy and you mean it, diet soda isn't part of that either.

-No more fast food. This one should be as obvious as the last point. Fast food is way too high in sugar, sodium and fats and is almost all fried. Avoid it, you don't need it.

-Take a multivitamin. A lot of people don't consider this but it really is beneficial. Vitamins are cheap and easy to make and so you're not going to be paying much for them, and they're not being infused with unhealthy substances to get you addicted to them like fast food and soda are with sugars.

-Avoid food and drink vices. You know those people who make jokes (but you know they're being serious) about not being able to function without their morning coffee, or those people who "never" smoke UNLESS they're having a couple of drinks? Don't become one of them. Coffee is not a terrible thing to have but don't become dependent on it. Don't become one of those people who just HAVE to have a night out drinking every other week in order to unwind. If you have to do something a little bit unhealthy to unwind on a regular basis, then you need to make some life changes.

-Don't drink regularly, or heavily. Studies are showing that occasional alcohol use isn't unhealthy, and of course some even say that a little wine now and then is beneficial. But if you're going through a case of beer per week, it's too much to be healthy. If you're polishing off a fifth of whiskey every four or five days, it's too much to be healthy. If you're getting off work and having a third of a bottle of wine before bed, yeah, you guessed it.

-Drink water. I know they say eight glasses a day is what you need, but who knows how much a "glass" is supposed to be. Try drinking between 1.5 and 2 liters of water per day. Better yet, REPLACE something unhealthy that you're drinking with water instead. Your kidneys will be healthier for it.

-Eat at home. If you can replace restaurant meals outside of the home with meals shopped for at the grocery store and prepared and cooked at home, you'll likely see some weight loss and increased energy. I'm not talking about package and processed meals. I mean meals that require cooking. You know, like RECIPES. You don't have to be a chef and eat farm fresh every meal. Just don't eat out all the time and don't always settle for those overly-processed foods.

-Spend a little more time outside. However much time you spend outside, try to take a little more of your inside downtime and make it OUTSIDE downtime. Even if all you're doing is sitting in your backyard or on your porch or balcony. Open the windows in your house, if it's feasible.

See? Simple, right? Now get it done. You're likely to see positive results inside of two weeks.

Vox: If the military won't defend the border, then they need not exist.

Absolutely correct.

The original purpose of the US military is to defend the borders of the United States from all foreign invaders, and that doesn't just include foreign uniformed military services.

If the military can't or won't fulfill that purpose, or if the politicians can't or won't order the military to do it, then simply disband it altogether, allow Americans to arm themselves as they please, and let the balloon go up once and for all.

Use this Fall to get yourself in order.

This Fall is going to be the time that the homestead makes some major progress. Just got the property "pre-winterized" and I think it'll only require light maintenance before the cold (or what we Deep Southerners call "cold") starts keeping it maintained for me through February. The Fall is a great time around these parts because the hot Summer is past and the wet Winter isn't here yet. It's cool enough and dry enough to get a lot of outdoor work done without the bugs getting under your eyelids and the sweat soaking you within the first five minutes.

We are planning the chicken coop and at least five or six chickens. What we want is enough chickens (probably Rhode Island Reds) to give us the eggs we need, plus enough to slowly build a supply to occasionally give away or sell. May look into a rooster as well at some point, so we can produce our own chicks. Local predators include hawks, coyotes, possums (yes, I know it starts with an "O") and raccoons. Raccoons will pull a chicken's head off to eat the brain. Have a few watersnakes out here as well. Once we have it all down pat, whatever "down pat" is supposed to mean, we'll just increase our numbers. I'm frequently told chickens are some of the easiest pets to keep. Time to get them and put them to work for us. Luckily we have several friends who are well versed in raising them and they'll be lots of help.

Also going to be installing a rainwater catch system and getting the setup for filtration. Rain is pretty steady out here, especially during the Summer and a bit in the Winter. We have a metal roof so no worries about poisoned water runoff from shingles. If you have a shingle roof, just get yourself some corrugated plastic and build a little runoff device. Just a 15x15 foot piece will get you a lot more rainwater than you think. We plan to use Berkey water filters to start out.

Will be starting a garden, around a quarter of an acre at first. Need to look at what crops to start. Corn does well in our area. Bush beans (green beans) are easy, yield a large amount and my cans them up for storage. I'd really like to get some potatoes as well.

Going to upgrade the pistol range and add a backstop so we can do some minor rifle work. Even if we just get the ability to zero the ARs out here, that's a big step up.

Likely going to begin building a nice looking wood fence around the acre surrounding the house, maybe four feet high, then going to line it with heavy gauge wire. The wire itself is what will keep the chickens in when we are letting them roam and keep the dog in that we will eventually be getting. The dog, likely a German Shepherd as my wife has a lifetime of experience raising them, will be a working dog. Great for security and will provide a good early warning system and ward off predators.

If you look at the above plans, those with military experience will notice the "force multipliers". Storing food is good, but it eventually runs out. Being able to produce and replenish that supply without outside assistance is the multiplier. Storing water is good, but water runs out QUICKLY. Having the ability to collect it yourself and make it potable is the force multiplier. Going to the range on a Saturday morning is great for practice, but having a free range twenty feet outside your back door where you can also get some rifle work in is the force multiplier.

It's important to step back every now and then and take stock of what you've got and look for ways to take a big leap forward with a force multiplier.

Change your own oil.

If you're not over fifty years old, you haven't earned the right to pay someone else to change your oil.

Be back very soon.

Haven't blogged much lately, but we've been sort of "winterizing" the property lately, and have a small out of town vacation this weekend.

Be back shortly.

Hurricane Michael is close.

When Michael was expected to hit us as a Category 1 storm, I was thinking "this will be a good test run for our preps".

Now it's only a few hours away and it's a Category 4. So this isn't just a test, it's what we actually primarily prepare for as a family.

It's all fun and games to prepare for the eventually economic downfall and the next civil war and all that grandiose crap, but it's much more important to prepare for the things you KNOW will happen, because they happen all the time.

For my family, that's a hurricane.

Granted, we haven't been hit since Ivan and Dennis in 2004 and 2005, but that's an anomaly to have such a long break. What it means is that our area has a whole lot of young adults who weren't old enough to help with the preparations or the cleanup after Ivan and Dennis, and therefore didn't get to learn from experience how to deal with it.

A whole lot of young people (and older ones who simply forgot over the last 13 years or so) are about to get a hard lesson on the dangers of normalcy bias.

As for us, our windows are boarded up, water is stored, food is stored, etc. Time for Michael to show us where are gaps are.

Hopefully in not too harsh of a manner.

"Letter to the CivNats" from ZMan.

Letter to the CivNats will get you up to speed on some of the reasons why the "right" in the US has so far been unable to counter the left on a lot of fronts.

If Trump is President, the republicans have the House and Senate and the SCOTUS generally leans right, and the republicans have most of the Governor seats and most of the state legislatures... Then why is the decimated democrat party such a massive force in the US, so powerful that they can still call the shots on so many things, even to the point of stifling wall funding, preventing the total dismantling of 0bamacare, shutting down all efforts to pursue national reciprocity for gun rights, forcing a seventh FBI investigation on Kavanaugh, keeping Hillary out of prison, etc.

It's because the furthest the "right" in America is willing to go is Civic Nationalism. CivNat is not strong enough to combat the left, in fact, CivNat is often the tool of the left.
