Maxims, rules of thumb and other observations on human cognition and sociocultural affectations

This will be added to on an irregular basis...
  • What is said to humans directly is received with skepticism and considered with dubiousness while that which is heard in passing, especially that which most conforms to their mentality or prejudices, is readily believed.
  • Humans have a certain cognitive latency between exposure to new information or experiences and the ability to think dispassionately and intellectually about it.
  • Humans have a certain cognitive spectrum starting with the moment of exposure to new information or experiences and ending with some point at which the thing is effectively "in the past" for them.
  • This cognitive spectrum is linked to the emotional process often referred to as shock, anger, denial and acceptance.
  • The more and faster information or experiences are presented to people and the closer the quarters and the lesser the distance between people, the more their early reactions in the passionate emotional stage are reflected back to them in the manner of responses to those reactions from others in light of those responses.
  • The more outrages which are suffered without sufficient time to allow emotional bleed-off, the farther the bar for subsequent reaction and outrage are pushed, and the more further events must progress before reaction and outrage.
  • It is possible for serious detriments to eventually sit below this threshold for long enough for their damaging effects to build and multiply until their entire society undergoes some reactive convulsion.

Obama the Standalone Complex President

This is from a post I made at SayAnythingblog.com.

If you want more information on the standalone complex basics…

It took me a bit, but I realized why Obama’s effortless glide to power was so familiar.

chris:

For starters, the expectation of Obama is phenomenal as he is attacking several inherited crisis, and not only that he seems to be living up to the hype.

Not even close. Your wishful thinking is getting in the way of your intellectual grasp of current events, and recent history not to mention human psychology and social dynamics.

The "expectation of Obama" is what can be considered a second-order standalone complex.

In a first-order standalone complex, one or more events presented to the public capture the public's imagination or weigh on their subconscious in such a way as to cause certain like minded enough individuals to attempt to follow or copycat a nonexistent original inferred by those events or ideas presented, or even specifically mentioned.

In a second-order standalone complex, the mechanism devolves to inference made from the first-order. In this case, we spent EIGHT YEARS with near saturation media coverage of Bush in a way that was radically at odds with reality. Instead of Bush as he actually was, they presented the news with positioning, slanting, and basically told the public what to think about him.

They turned George Bush the man and president into George Bush the social concept. The social concept of him they presented was nearly that of the Christian anti-christ. He was presented as larger than life in everything he did and all of it was negative. He was presented as the supreme bungler, the master liar, the ultimate puppet of Cheney, the lord of the Sith of presidents, the least competent president ever, and all that. Whenever the MSM did not infer it, they turned to the usual left-wing adversaries to give them tv and newsprint time to say it directly.

On top of this they filled the blogosphere (and how I hate that name) with their mass movement. They attempted to foment social insurrection and in testament to the public's understanding that their natures and desires are closer to conservatism than socialism, resisted such that it failed to become an overt phenomenon and became a subversive one instead.

The left's attempt at crafted populist revolt instead led to the formation of the first-order complex by creating the image of Bush that never was. However, as humans go, they tend towards dualistic thinking and the more extreme an archetype becomes the more an opposite implied archetype becomes certain.

Messiah, not messiah, Christ, anti-christ, Bush, Not Bush.

Until Bush was not up for re-election acting on the impulse to follow the standalone complex was resisted because it was not academic. Voting him out at the second election had to be balanced against those he was running against and the public was only four years into it so their resistance was high.

Bush being reelected freed the standalone complex. Bush was no longer available so whoever was going to win was going to be Not Bush. Humans as I said think in binary terms and they are associative. Bush -> Republican. Not Bush -> Democrat.

A secondary first-order standalone complex happened among the Democrats with Obama who was the unknown quantity and Hillary who was the known one. There's Hillary and Not Hillary. Obama was carefully presented as being on every side of every issue, thus giving no fixed points to rankle and annoy the Democrat primary voters. Hillary had an existing history. She was not easily faked. Obama was whatever people wanted to believe he was since they knew nothing else.

Thus we saw Obama picked by Democrats to be Not Hillary and later to be Not Bush. We elected an implied archetype, one that was implied in our own minds by the inferred one created around Bush through omnipresent meme transmission.

That is the central problem for Obama. Even if he suddenly got religion as it were and went conservative, he still is not going to be able to live up to the ideas people have of him. Obama the President and human is not Barack Obama the phenomenon. He cannot be what he does not know to be and he is so many things to so many people.

Just as with anyone who'd claim to be the messiah, the mantle and all the sociocultural baggage that goes with it always colors the perception of whoever wears the mantle. Obama is wearing a mantle primarily defined around not being Bush, and secondarily as the answer to everyone's angst over all the things they were induced to feel and think. After all, humans are just plain mortal beings. They know nothing beyond what their senses tell them. Whether they want to or not, they tend to believe what is heard in passing and overwhelmingly.

That overwhelming leftist slant of the media is the undoing as no one taking on the mantle they created can ever live up to it. They've overplayed this badly and created no exit strategy for it because they did it by accident. If this had been crafted in some Machiavellian plot, a wise architect would have left some approachable and relateable human foibles in the construction so that people would have a pause in their pursuit of belief that the Not Bush was everything Bush wasn't and nothing that Bush was.

Finally, they badly screwed up in making this personal. The archetype was Bush versus Not Bush. Not Republican versus Democrat. The public learns what is put to them inevitably. Such as personalization in politics. As Obama makes more and more mistakes which he must as I said, the disappointment in Obama for the position of Not Bush will grow. The assignment of Not Bush to Obama in the minds of the public will decline. As Bush recedes due to lack of appearance on the scene fresh in their view, the Not Bush construct will fade as well. Obama will be left as the guy in charge and have no mythical ideas about him to shield him from the cold hard reality that he is not competent much less morally worthy of the job of President of the USA.

More to come as soon as I can...

Just been very busy with other interests of late. Replaced a car, started biking and lost 20 pounds, busted my knee, started designing some stuff, working on PC tune-ups, trying to get some Hebrew practice in...

I suggest sayanythingblog.com if you want something to look at right now. I've been over there a bit, more than anywhere else, just because politics has bit me for the moment as well.

Anyhow, will get back to posting as soon as I can write something up.

Bernie Sanders backs Dean for HHS post

Unfortunately for either of them, their political histories show them to be batshit insane. I’m reasonably sure any post that oversees mental health in the mix requires or at least by common sense should have sane people in charge. Or at least not batshit insane.

Congressional Budget Office Says Stimulus Bill is Horseshit

Washington Times - CBO: Obama stimulus harmful over long haul

Best stuff right up front…

President Obama's economic recovery package will actually hurt the economy more in the long run than if he were to do nothing, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday.

CBO, the official scorekeepers for legislation, said the House and Senate bills will help in the short term but result in so much government debt that within a few years they would crowd out private investment, actually leading to a lower Gross Domestic Product over the next 10 years than if the government had done nothing.

CBO estimates that by 2019 the Senate legislation would reduce GDP by 0.1 percent to 0.3 percent on net. [The House bill] would have similar long-run effects, CBO said in a letter to Sen. Judd Gregg, New Hampshire Republican, who was tapped by Mr. Obama on Tuesday to be Commerce Secretary.

The congress’ own budget office is calling out Obama and the Democrat controlled congress on this and STILL we’re being treated to a mix of fear-mongering and arrogance as Obama takes the points of view simultaneously that we have to do something, and that we should do whatever he says because he won.

Clearly, the man has a child’s view of government if he thinks that it is a matter of winner take all.

Your Obamism of the Day!

I screwed up in not recognizing the perception that even though this is an honest mistake, I believe, on Tom's part, that, you know, ordinary people are out there paying taxes every day and whether it's an intentional mistake or not, it was sending the wrong signal.

President Barack Obama On Tom Daschle Controversy: 'I Messed Up' - wcbstv.com

In his estimation, his mistake was not recognizing the perception that what, attempting to stand behind his nomination of an acknowledge tax evader was wrong? That is, not seeing that people would see it as wrong, rather than it was wrong, period?

And what the hell is an intentional mistake anyhow?

Sex Offender Laws Not Working? ABC News: Misguided Measures

ABC News: Misguided Measures

Yet again, the shoot from the hip quick draw solutions to everything are not exclusive to the left as we see with these sex offender restriction laws, a pet of the right and often under attempted co-opt by the liberal left as well.

In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Sheriff Don Zeller said new residency restrictions are forcing offenders into rural parts of the county where they are far harder to keep track of -- or worse, forcing them underground, where they can be lost track of completely.

"We're finding that it's almost impossible to keep track of individuals we have registered in the county,'' Zeller told ABC News' Law & Justice Unit. "Five years ago, we knew where about 95 percent of those individuals were. Now we're lucky if we know where 50, 55 percent of them are.''

Hmmm… Why?

"What it's done is driven people to -- rather than come in and register and comply with the law -- there's no way they can find housing, so it forces them to be on the run or lie about where they are at,'' Zeller said. "So that's not creating a safe environment for the public at all.''

Mind you, this is an actual serving gun carrying power of arrest and don’t you forget it sheriff.

What do we do? Grant exclusions for homeless shelters as long as they have a segregated wing under police guard?

As a compassionate conservative, I have to go with two ideas.

One, we need to stop writing off people. Every last person we return to society’s fold is better than the alternative. Risk? Sure, but…

"There is no research to suggest there there really is a relationship between where sex offenders live and whether or not they'll repeat their crimes, and there also isn't any evidence to demonstrate that these laws are really effective in preventing sexual crimes,'' she said.

In fact, only 7 percent of sex crimes against kids are committed by strangers, according to Justice Department statistics.

Studies show that -- contrary to popular belief -- sex offenders have a lower recidivism rate than other types of criminals, re-offending in about 14 percent of cases.

"So, ironically, what happens with residency restrictions is that we end up creating exactly the types of risk factors that we know lead to higher recidivism rather than lower recidivism," Levenson said. "In other words, we know that stability, social support and employment are really important factors to help criminals maintain a productive life and not resume a life of crime, so disrupting the stability of criminal offenders is not likely to be in the best interest of public safety."

I’d say that given that people can change on their own throughout their lives based on learned first-hand experience, that there’s a damn good chance that many of these people can be reasonably rehabilitated and that if we don’t we truly damn our own children by creating a world without forgiveness and without hope for the less than perfect. What happens when they consider their own sex drives as teens and wonder what will happen to them if they get caught being sexually dangerous like sending nude pics of themselves via camera phone. Well, they get called sex offenders.

I remember when showing off your backside to someone as a teen was calling mooning. Flashing your junk at the schoolyard during a tauntfest was not unusual. I remember one guy taking it out to stroke it for the girls to watch giggling in the dimmed schoolroom during a sex ed film in sixth grade. The teachers back then were all sixties hippy on that idea of leaving them alone while the sex ed film played.

Now, you’re going to be registered as a deviant. Guess what. It’s the result of an unholy union between the far right morality police and the far left feminists and “for the children” social control opportunists. I used to warn people twenty plus years ago that this was going to happen, but noooo… No one ever listens.

Both of these kinds of people, far left and far right, have the same mentality. Sex is inherently dirty, inherently wrong, inherently only necessary for procreation. Except on the left, there’s some who want to delegitimize even intercourse within marriage and replace with cloning techniques. Ewww… It’s my dick in a test tube, to bust on the SNL skit.

So before we get even farther afield with feel-good does-nothing legislation so we can all feel like we’re getting a reach around while we butt bang each other legally, let’s consider rehab.

The other thing we need to consider is the nature of our ideas on sex. Before it gets too much later. We’re already trying to make gay couples equivalent to heterosexual unions when only the latter furthers human progression starting with reproduction of new humans in the first place. Without any consideration of the nature of the gay sex world at all. No consideration of physical and sexual abuse of partners in that world. No consideration of the insane amount of promiscuity. It would be like claiming that one night hook-ups at Plato’s Retreat were as valid societally as marriage and how would that help those people any more than it could help gays?

“Yeah, no problem, you keep on with that sleeping around and whatnot… Good luck… No, no problem. What’s that? He beat the fuck out of you and then duct taped you to the kitchen table and shoved a zucchini up your ass? I’m sure it was meant in fun. Just crazy gay sex games. Who am I to judge?”

I guaranfuckingtee you the same liberal infected system that refuses to bother doing anything about black on black crime using the excuse that it would be racist to try because white people are fundamentally incapable of understanding “black culture” whatever the fuck that is supposed to be will be equally uninterested in taking gay on gay crime any more seriously.

If we proceed in that direction, the result can be seen coming a mile away. Next the much higher numbers of homosexual pedophilic hook-ups will be demanding approval. It’s no secret that males are more sexually aggressive than females. The encouragement of gay teens to explore their sexuality is already approved in many schools under the heading of non-judgmentalism. The other side of the coin, adult men who boink teen butt, will have to be taken up. Can’t approve of teens having sex with gay mentors if you don’t approve the mentors.

Then what? Straight men and teen girls? Lesbian women and young girls? Straight women and young boys?

When does it fucking end?

We have to as a society start doing some very hard thinking. Sure, in a perfect world where humans achieved maximum possible wisdom promptly after birth and only got more stable and centered as they aged, many things like intergenerational sex and pot smoking and many more things would be totally fine. People could handle it.

But they cannot right now. We are not that people. We are humans. Barely able to fall in love without losing our minds. Often incapable of loving without hating. Largely given to righteous anger when our love is disappointed and not returned. We’re not a stable species. We start out unstable and inexperienced, and if those who went before who receive us into society teach and raise us well, we hope to get better as we get older.

Today’s society is breaking down on that point. We’re in a state of wishful thinking. Crazed wishful thinking. We want desperately to believe that we’re ready for anything just because we’re capable of maybe handling a given thing.

Reality is that it just ain’t so but we’re not listening to the warning coming from our consciences and the result is that we’re encouraging a vastly worse future by encouraging the mainstreaming of presently fringe behavior and then swatting a fly with a nuke responses when anything doesn’t work quite perfectly.

Bad bad idea.

We need to start paring down the so-called sex offenders by actual offense, tailoring the rehab program to their offense, with a strong course of empathy encouragement, and helping to reunite them with society so they can learn how precious is the society they have a chance to return to by that society’s gracious forgiveness and mercy. We need to start seeing that there are different levels of offense and many alleged offenses are only sexual offenses in that they involved sex tangentially. We need to see where society might have encouraged and given the impression of tolerance for the behavior and learn from that where we need to correct our society.

We need to stop making the problem worse. When 1% of American adults are in jail, something is wrong, and its that no matter how hardcore nasty we get against crime, we meanwhile increasing the criminal base by our own stupidity and negligence. We need to heal our society. We need to take tough medicine. We need to fix ourselves.

More Internet porn, less rape?

Looks possible, but then I’ve been saying for years that it is a no-brainer that people who commit sex crimes use porn, but there’s no linkage between porn use and rape. How many rapists are there? How many people masturbate to porn? Compare the numbers. No contest. If porn induced rape, the world would be like the nightmare sequences from Event Horizon as conceived by Ron Jeremy.

Man, if looking at girly mags was a prescription for rape, every guy in my high school would have been in prison.

However, there’s a caveat I’d like to remind you of… Self-control, balance, and a good head on your shoulders are as important with sex as with anything else. Going based on maturity, I’d say a lot of adults aren’t ready for sex, never mind kids. Yet, we give the high speed Internet access to them, and the poison cherry on the sundae, a webcam.

DON’T.

Put their computer in the family room. DO NOT LET THEM HAVE A WEB CAM. If you want one for sending silly faces to grandma, keep it on the PC in your bedroom and keep it under lock and key or your bedroom or both.

If you’ve ever felt enticed by the idea of showing off for an appreciative stranger, EVER, consider what happens when an immature inexperienced teen gets that idea at a time when they are at their exhibitionistic extrovert peak so to speak.

BAD IDEA.

Parents, take control. Teach your kids well. Encourage responsibility. Instill empathy. Relate back to the golden rule constantly. Make them tend to think before they act.

It will make your time a lot easier and less messy, generally.

The first part of their war is to move to act. The second part is for us to fail to act. Note the conspiracy freakery in the comments.

Anyone with a basic sixth grade understanding of structural mechanics and construction knows very damn well that a steel reinforced concrete building definitely should collapse under the stresses seen here. Massive kinetic impact shattering concrete, dramatically weakening compressive strength, great heat weakening steel and lessening torsion and tensile strength, tremendous weight above under dynamic wind loads and gravitational pull, down it comes. That is exactly what should happen.

Yet, there are architects and engineers who are unworthy of their degrees insisting that steel and concrete don’t react that way. The sure as fuck do and it is precisely for those reasons that steel and concrete composition and methods of manufacture are carefully watched and researched for every usage and environmental condition from humidity to temperature, to chemistry and dynamic versus static loads. Every piece of a building is figured into the intended final configuration, as well as every step of construction in between. A final configuration that would be stable during use might not be possible to erect due to instability in the middle of the construction process. Many possible combinations of steel and concrete are not used precisely because every step of the way from start to finish must be safe and stable within the abilities of human technology and preparation to deal with.

Maybe these dickhead truthers should try standing in front of a forge working steel and in pouring and forming concrete before they open their idiot mouths and aid and abet sworn enemies of all non-Muslims in general and the western world in particular.

News flash morons: if you betray your nation and people now to stand with the enemies of humanity, they will have no reason to be merciful and trust you since you already sold out your own people. Islamic Supremacism in no different than Nazism.

Did Suitepotato vote for Obama?

Yes, damn fucking right I did.

Gasp.

Why?

Because this nation needs its face shoved into its own shit, and rapped on the nose with the rolled up newspaper of the consequences of its actions, and told in no uncertain terms NO by its own awakening conscience.

Granted that’s a lot to expect from a people who think reality television is reality or television, but it nevertheless necessary.

First off, the racialist atmosphere of this nation was finally decaying, but still thanks to the idiot left still perniciously and tenaciously clinging around the edges, poisoning the subconscious of America’s black youths with the worst sort of mental contagion: victimhood. It’s always some white peoples’ fault. Taking total and complete responsibility for yourself at any given moment in all the ways that matter is the greatest individualism, the greatest personal freedom, and the greatest pleasure, and this all great men know. It is an unpardonable offense that American liberalism has sold defeatism to African-Americans with the help of stooges like Jesse Jackson. Whenever blacks have tried to say “yes we can” white liberals were there to insist “no you can’t” right up until their chosen scion Obama. WHY NO ONE BUT OBAMA? Who decides that? Turns out, white liberals do and black people have been letting them do it for years.

Obama was not like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or any of the other talking heads the liberal white establishment put out on a rhinestone leash before. He’s light skinned. He smiles more than anyone not in television should. He’s a snappy dresser. He has practically NO history. It’s like he popped out of the fabric of reality custom made.

He was given the most affirmative action anyone could. He was allowed to run not against his competitor but the outgoing and not up for re-election president’s image as concocted by the antagonistic and openly hostile press. That Holocaust denial bishop could have been put forth by the Democrats and gotten elected against George Bush’s media made image. As these allegedly irreligious louts would have it, GWB was Satanbilly. Yuck, yuck, yer damned.

Granted, that’s basically how the media always operates, but don’t you think the press criticism of Obama’s elements was more muted than it ever has been before in any presidential campaign for a Democrat? Compared to Obama, Clinton was bent over and ass raped.

The only thing it could be would be the liberal knee-jerk tendency to softball everything for black people in their continuing condescension, that blacks cannot take a pounding politically like whites, and have to be helped, belying their claims to believing in equality. Obviously they don’t.

Obama was the perfect thing to illustrate liberalism’s racial failings. The condescension, the pandering, the race baiting, the hate mongering, the encouragement of despair and hopelessness, their dogged refusal to back black parents and families and instead back every one of the worst role models they possibly could and then cut every excuse under the sun for them, when they’d never, I guarantee you never ever allow their prissy little white world to be done over the same way. You don’t see them championing bad white role models, do you?

Other than the more subjective ones like reality television contestants and Jerry Springer guests, I mean.

If this socialistic egomaniac could hit the White House, roundly figured to be the single most powerful position in the USA, and have every advantage from a fawning press ready to bow down and blow him at every juncture no matter what, and a celebrity world and entertainment media that acted like they were in heat for the man, and his entire party ready to commit seppuku for him on a whim, he could be the ultimate proof of liberalism not working. There you go, the most suave debonair and intellectually gifted black man to sit in Washington has been handed all the power on a silver platter and championed liberalism to the hilt with all the fervor of a community activist… and failed at it.

He will fail. Not because he’s black although that is very important to black people that he fail and be black. Not because he’s supported by a sycophantic media and political world although it is very important to every normal sane person to see that world take it up the backside, but because he’s wrong. His politics are wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

If the new messiah can’t make liberalism work after it’s been tried by two southern crackers, then what is the fucking problem? Maybe we were wrong in this country that if only a disadvantaged class member got the power, they could make it work where white people who just couldn’t understand the nuances of underprivileged life failed. Maybe liberalism is wrong.

Now then, why is his failure important to black people? Because I will tell you what I would tell my own son, what I have told my wife, what my father told me, with all the love that I have in my heart. Failure and acceptance of that, is as important as success. You cannot fix what you do not know is wrong and what you refuse to accept even could be wrong. Black people in the USA have been sold a bill of fucking goods that everything that goes wrong for them from cradle to grave is some white person’s fault. It’s white people causing everything to go wrong.

Well, if nothing is black peoples’ fault, then they have NO POWER TO FIX IT. Is the problem with your car in your car or is some strange radiation making it not work? It’s your spark plugs? Replace them. End of story. Power in your hands, you fix it, you’re on your way. Power in someone else’s hands, you wait for someone else to fix it, and you let me know when Elvis returns from the grave.

That is why failure is as important as success. It is a bloody nose that lets you know your limitations, that lets you know something is not working right, that lets you know to make a change. If you don’t think you failed, and that someone else failed you, you can sit there and spin waiting for someone else to make a change. Or you can say you failed somewhere, and you can change whatever you figure that was.

I have made many mistakes in my life, but they were mine, and I never hurt so bad as when I could not see where I was wrong, and thus waited for a fix from outside that was never coming.

I’m not saying there’s no such thing as racism, but look around you. Does this look like Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream? Does constant, obsessive racial consciousness sound like the color blind society he was working towards? Don’t look at what he was working for, look at who took power in his absence and what they did. Do the sell-outs handing crumbs to the masses while they dine on table scraps at the feet of white liberals look like MLK? DO THEY?

Failure on this level is badly needed to help break once and for all the liberal white racialist machine. Break its connection to black Americans. Break its workings. Break the illusion and show the reality to people. The truth that poor rip-off for the Matrix really wants hidden: the ultimate power is when you decide you are in control, not someone else and definitely not nebulous ill-defined someone elses.

Fail once in a while I was once told. Black Americans being humans fail all the time, but white liberals have been selling a paint job to cover it called white racism. A fun house mirror distortion hiding the real white racism that has been in the majority for fifty years, that of liberals. As I said, it was slowly going away but hanging on like crud. This fall by Obama, and he will definitely fall unless he changes course, will be the final nail in the coffin of the white liberal racialist system.

I hate to reference it, but remember the movie Willow where the old wizard played by Billy Barty asks Willow which finger the magic is in and he fails to answer correctly but later when asked says he was going to answer his own finger? Why do you think that is? Because the magic is in your finger. Your magic is in you. That’s why failure, and accepting it, is a tremendously important part of human advancement.

You heard it from me first…

I call it “Demobamanopoly”.

Democrat-Obama Monopoly: the state of the country for the next two years until the mid-term elections allow the country to vent their disgust with the Demobamanopoly’s fisting of the nation.

Letter offers clues to death of 5 kids, 2 adults - Yahoo! News

Let me fix this up…

Father kills his five kids and wife in despair over couples' losing jobs

Officers discovered the horrific scene after rushing to a home in Wilmington, prompted by the father's distraught letter faxed to a TV station describing a "tragic story" and a call to authorities.

Isn’t it nice that we’ve managed by 2008 to make going nuts and offing yourself and your family not so distracting that people forget to fax the local television media?

Police believe Ervin Lupoe, 40, killed his five children and his wife before turning the gun on himself. Both adults were recently fired from their hospital jobs.

But wait, there’s more!

"Why leave our children in someone else's hands?" Lupoe wrote in his letter faxed to KABC-TV. The station posted the letter on its Web site with some parts redacted.

What? Have people taken to believing that losing their jobs in this economy is a death sentence for their family? Evidently so.

So much for the new Demigod-In-Chief Bareback O’Rama and his heavenly presence on Earth making everything so much duckier.

It was the fifth mass death of a Southern California family by murder or suicide in a year. Police urged those facing tough economic times to get help rather than resort to violence.

"Today our worst fear was realized," said Deputy Chief Kenneth Garner. "It's just not a solution. There's just so many ways you find alternatives to doing something so horrific and drastic as this."

NO SHIT! DO YA THINK?!

THIS SORT OF THING IS HAPPENING PRECISELY BECAUSE THE LEFT WING HAS SOLD DOOM, GLOOM, DESPAIR, AND HOPELESSNESS AND CONTINUES TO DO SO IN THE NAME OF EMPOWERING THEMSELVES.

I HOLD THE UNITED STATES NEWS AND ENTERTAINMENT MEDIA AND THE POLITICIANS THEY SUPPORT DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS KIND OF THING, AND THE AMERICAN PUBLIC FOR EMBRACING IT ALL.

For fuck’s sake people… Wake up and smell reality. Things are only as bad as we make them. We’re buying into this disaster crap to make ourselves feel like noble victims. A thing is only as valuable as what people will pay for it. If you stop spending money, stop engaging in economic transactions, you WILL make a disaster happen and sure as fuck, we’re doing it right now and the consequence is this kind of horror.

Spread the word: we are not down and out, we are not defeated, we are still standing, we will remain, and we will not be dissuaded by false hope, but by real belief we choose ourselves will remake this world as we want it.

A future of flying cars and space colonies and prosperity for everyone, or sulking in our tears waiting for government to save us?

Daffy Gadhafi says US should seek peace with bin Laden…

Gadhafi says US should seek peace with bin Laden | International | Jerusalem Post

Uh… no. You can’t make peace with someone who has no point. Do you want to know what Islamic Supremacists are truly into? It’s not Islam. It’s war and violence for their own sake.

Here’s another miscreant who stated his love for just that:

Like the Islamic Supremacists, he is about as interested in the movement he is associated with as the average person is to being human. It just happens to be a facet, not the defining element. The defining element is actually thirst for conflict.

Gadhafi truly doesn’t know what he is talking about. Maybe he’s going through some sort of midlife crisis of former dictator loons and seriously hopefully believes you can make peace with OBL. Maybe he’s just trying to seem reasonable and a peacemaker in the wake of Gaza. Maybe he’s plain insane. Whichever it is, he’s wrong.

OBL is of the Saudi Wahhabist strain of Islamic Supremacy, firmly in the camp of “America must die” and guilty of the slaughter of over 2,000 people on September 11, 2001. He’s not someone you can make peace with or who deserves any attempt at same. He has no standing as the head of a recognized peaceful member nation of human society. He’s a terrorist, a murderer, and an unabashed supporter of the destruction of everyone not like him and his.

All the way across, no.

Period.

Why am I recommending these and other things to secure your online experience? Why did I advocate anonymity through proxies, remailers, and encryption and firewalls? Because the default state of the world is not tolerance, it is not peace, it is not kindness, it is not understanding, it is not freedom.

The default state of the world is anarchy. The law of the jungle. Kill or be killed. If you want the above things, peace, kindness, justice, etc. then you actually have to make efforts to bring them about and maintain them against challengers who either willfully or negligently would cause them to be destroyed. To do this effectively it must be with recognition of the true nature of this aforethought or else it is as accurate as tossing darts.

Look around the world. Euroweenies are praising Islamic Supremacy and castigating Jews for daring to defend themselves against cowards who fire rockets specifically at civilians. Americans are falling all over each other in religious ecstasy at the installation of their new messiah-elect. The mainstream media barely maintains anything like a passing tee-hee and pshaw regarding their blatant politicization. Our world has given up on a bright Star Trek future of prosperity, comfort, opportunity, room, and resources for all to embrace a mad dash back to primitivism. Children are unruly and parents worse. No one has a grounding in the classics of western civilization, the political correctness slime has been spread far and wide, our whole way of life looks like it is on the edge.

Well, are you giving up in the face of that?

Not me, no way, uh uh. Period, end of discussion, not going to happen.

With the installation of the messiah-elect, I have decided to rededicate myself to the revolution. Go over to the right and read my side bar. First step, revolt against yourself. Stop giving in to doubt, anger, frustration and unintelligence. Harness your emotions with your intellect. Control yourself. Realize that you and you alone can take charge of your life and you’re up against a world of morons, moonbats, dumbshits, and psychos who thanks to sheer numbers threaten to unmake our world.

What do you want for yourself? What is best for yourself? For me that’s peace, prosperity, comfort, and plenty. I mean not to let the bastards get me down.

So arm yourselves with the proper tools: knowledge and willingness to use it. Protect your knowledge. Share it with others. Do not let them stop you from spreading the word against their doom and gloom. Every American has a duty to stand against their enemies, foreign and domestic and that enemy has a face. Go look in the mirror to see it.

Once you take yourself out of the picture, the battlefield has one less enemy opposing you and us. Go turn more people. Wake them up. Keep being the loyal opposition to stupidity. Advocate bigger, better, more, and everywhere.

We can’t reform the UN and the US government and all the rest by edicts, laws, and other toys of the political process. We have to strike the problem at the source: the sick twisted hearts of the masses lost in despair and hopelessness, willing to look to anyone who promises salvation when the power was always theirs. They can take a stand against monsters. They can see reality. We have to show it to them.

Perhaps that sounds extravagant, but it is not. It begins with simply spreading a viewpoint of the world contrary to what the forces of idiocy would have instead, and ends with never backing down. In between, how to spread? How to keep it being spread?

Usenet, web forums, blogging, blog comments, web pages, e-mails, mailing lists, just being relentlessly real, unrelentingly open, and unstoppably forward. Believe it, say it, stick to it.

The revolution against yourself cannot be lost, only never engaged in.

Hey Euroweenies and other leftist twats, these are your heroes: Hamas torturing Fatah members in Gaza' | Middle East | Jerusalem Post

What wonderful peaceful people to use a cease fire with Israel to murder each other.

Why didn’t they have the nerve to point this out during the anti-Jewish demonstrations? EU official: Gaza won't be reconstructed under Hamas's rule | Middle East | Jerusalem Post

IT'S A LITTLE BIT LATE YOU EURODOOFUSES

Good news: Yemeni police kill 2 al-Qaida suspects in San'a raid | Middle East | Jerusalem Post

Yemeni police kill 2 al-Qaida suspects in San'a raid | Middle East | Jerusalem Post

Yemen has an active al-Qaida presence despite government efforts to destroy the network.

One more bright ray of hope, but don’t read too much into it. The al-Qaida strain of Islamic Supremacism is and has been violently opposed to the current Arab leadership secular, Pan-Arabist, and Islamic. Yemen is doing what is good for Yemen. However, it is a forward action given al-Qaida’s proven threat to everyone.

And they would know: German, Polish ambassadors blast comparisons of Gaza campaign to Holocaust | Jewish News | Jerusalem Post

The question is, why can't everyone else see it?

Separately, Polish Ambassador Agnieszka Magdziak-Miszewska said that any comparisons between Israel's operation in Gaza and Nazi Germany's extermination of one-third of the Jewish people were "pure anti-Semitism."

"Any comparison to what has happened to the Jewish people in the Shoah is pure anti-Semitism which cannot be justified, even if we don't like everything that happens in Gaza," Magdziak-Miszewska said.

If Germans and Poles are rushing to the defense of Jews and the streets of allegedly free Europe to their condemnation, something is seriously rotten in this world.

My Reply

(In response to a suggestion that if they love death like their enemies love life that perhaps it should be given to them.)

Mass termination might in the future be seen in retrospect as a mercy. Whether or not it is depends upon how we proceed.
If we leave the Arabs (and Persians, Indians, Asians, etc.) to the tender mercies of Islamic Supremacism the law of the jungle devolvement I have warned of will become reality. That being the case, it effectively is reality now.

In extremis, all solutions must follow. As we grow closer to that point of no return, kill or be killed, our options for mercy become constrained by that which cannot be effective before we are destroyed by our enemies. As it draws nearer, talking is less and less an option.

And these Islamic Supremacists mean to make that day ever closer. They do not love life as you do. Not because they are not the same species but because they are the same species as you. You all know what you are inherently capable of as a race deep down. You know that were someone to find the right chord, you could be plucked to such a crescendo of raw mayhem as to be unrecognizable to yourself as you are now.

These Islamic Supremacists are attempting to drive themselves to such in themselves right now. Their philosophy is that death is preferable to letting their idea of G-d down. Their philosophy is that death in the course of achieving unrivaled unchallenged supremacy is not only okay, but a righteous thing. Your death is not only okay, but a righteous thing. Islamic Supremacists are the embodiment of that which humans wrote into the fictional Klingons of Star Trek, the ultimate expression of the samurai way, another facet of human fanaticism.

Fanatics cannot be argued with. Only contained through marginalization, physical isolation, or termination. Were they in the USA committing acts of murder and mayhem against rivals, they would be on death row or in maximum security prisons. Courts would have no pity on them, judgment by peers would be harsh and unflinching, judges would be unabashedly damning of them.

Well, these are your fellow human beings. What say you about their behavior? Is there anything in your heart as a human being that tells you that there is some other standpoint, some other point of view from which, this is okay?

The world has throughout this conflict sat in judgment of Hamas and Israel and done as much as an American jury sitting through a month long trial of a biker gang arrested for mayhem and murder, listened to the evidence and seen the acts and heard them bragging of their deeds in their own words... and found the police guilty for enforcing the law that society expected of them.

The human survival imperative expected no less of Israel than it brought to the situation and were condemned.

Perhaps the human race deserves Hamas.

Why was Obama elected?

For a long time it struck me as utterly absurd that in a nation where we’ve been told for longer than I’ve been alive that we are inherently a racist nation we could be so quietly lofting a black man to the nation’s shoulders and propelled him to the White House with next to no talk about it.

He’s black. African-American. Whatever you want to call it. In a nation where white people supposedly control everything and the best of them are still contaminated by prejudice according to the liberal left (which ironically proves it through racist patronizing but that’s another matter). And he’s the prez. And no one is getting into any brouhaha. No noise. No anything that you’d expect if the liberal view were correct.

Well, we all know ourselves better than the liberals do to go by the voting record of this nation over the last fifty years as blacks have won major offices all the way to congress and now the presidency to say nothing of the explosion of black icons throughout the entertainment world, the media, popular culture, etc. Bill Cosby for a number of years could safely be called the nation’s dad and without danger of contradiction.

It took me a while and hindsight to see it. Looking back through the haze and fog of the war for the White House, I see no sign of Jowls McCain. It’s like he doesn’t exist. I see him allegedly on the field, people reporting him on the field, but… oh yeah, there he is… way way way over on the side as if… he charged Obama at the outset and Obama ran right past him with his attention on some other enemy…

That enemy was the perception of George W. Bush as created in the public mind by his opponents and the mainstream media who worked in what I find to be in retrospect obvious concert to make an idea of a satanically hellish opponent at the vanguard of a tsunami of shit that by comparison anyone opposing it could only be seen as a holy avenger at the very least. Demonization doesn’t begin to cover it.

Now it made perfect sense. Obama ran against a sitting president who was not even running. Obama ran against the public perception of a sitting president who was not even running. Obama ran against George W. Bush. Obama ran against Dubya.

That is how he got elected with as little disruption as if a dinosaur killing meteor hit the ocean at 32,000mph and made not a ripple and disappeared under the waves with nothing further seen.

Which of course consequently means that anyone who ran against that, and was seen as such a holy avenger against the ultimate evil portrayed, was given an artificially high standard to meet. Obama has to vanquish an image that at this point the public has almost entirely been convinced of utterly, and on top of that it doesn’t actually exist. That is, the problem portrayed by the image doesn’t exist. Can you repair a transmission that doesn’t exist? Heal a wound that doesn’t exist on a person who doesn’t exist?

Well, if no one ever believed the problem existed then claiming it was fixed is about as useful or hard.

The challenge is to convince the public that the imaginary problem is real, and then convince them that the imaginary problem is solved. A big challenge that is since humans are more prone to believing bad things than good. That point is why politicians sling mud and fight based on creating images of their opponents and not actually address issues whenever possible. The second part is much much harder. What criteria functions as the corroborating implication in your assertion that the non-existent problem is fixed or at least being worked on?

The second major problem of convincing people that the imaginary problem has been fixed or that it is being worked on is the human art of the self fulfilling prophecy. Tell them that the world is ending, and they will after a while cease opposing that and engage in nihilistic attitudes and thought, and start behaving in such a way that really quick, we’re headed for the end of the world. Remember the idea DON’T PANIC?

The MSM and the liberals started building this hurricane of horseshit and Bush as all four riders of the apocalypse really early on, say about five seconds after Bush’s first election. They encouraged fiscal irresponsibility in the mortgage lending market starting before that and kicked it ever higher in gear throughout Bush’s tenure. Bush to his and the rest of the NeoNeoCon discredit decided to co-opt liberal tax and spendism without the tax part with only a kindergarten idea of why Reagan’s years worked and were so good for America and did not deliver on the tax cuts to the upper class (who are the ones who invest in new and ongoing business allowing them to hire you and me) and business (the people who pay you and me our paychecks) that were necessary. They sold the country on an idea that everyone has a right to everything, from the government and whoever they blame for their condition in life, and no responsibility to anyone whatsoever, not even themselves.

Beset on all sides, and not understanding how GWB and his crew could foul up so colossally, the Republicans cracked up and some predictably went batshit insane and began advocating silly things and others wandered off to what they imagined was the center, and still others walked off the field. We conservatives have definitely failed to capitalize properly and responsibly on our own discontent by pointing out our own flaws and dedicating ourselves to their repair. We tried doing the liberal thing and proclaiming that we were the victims. To some extent we are, but in the end, you and you alone are responsible for your life which is what you make of it. The victimhood idea is a tool of the white supremacists and the liberals both. I will not accept it.

We also failed to prevent ourselves from swerving in a game of social chicken with the liberals. Their incessant refrains of doing something down here on Earth caused us to back away from exploring and colonizing space the way our species must inevitably do to survive. Their constant live simply so that others may simply live bullshit was internalized and we gave up on the principle of prosperity for all (as in prosperity of technological advancement and material wealth availability for all not handing success to people). We turned out premise of peace through freedom and democracy into a PR joust over Iraq rather than examining and documenting the reasons within human history and nature for these being greater things than tolerance of despotism.

That is how Obama got elected.

I get the impression that he’s a good man who means well but I also know he is on the left, beholden to the hard left, and not the biggest on sharp details. In that he has a lot in common with Bush (fuzzy details, beholden to political interests, not really likely to buck them).

He will almost certainly act to appease the hard left with some bones tossed which if casually chosen could be disastrous for the country for decades to come in the form of unconstitutionally to say nothing of immorally constructed intrusions by leftist fascism into the fabric of American life. Liberals getting entrenched in general is bad enough. There are certain places they can totally fuck this country up and without years of fights up through the courts to the US Supreme Court they won’t be removed. The fact is and this is something we conservatives should take to heart and teach and hammer home, the rule of law and constitution only works as long as we endeavor to make it so. Whatever is done in violation of our standards shall stand until the US Supreme Court says otherwise and in the interim anything can be gotten away with until the court stops it, and those things done can further entrench even more unconstitutional damage.

His own ideas are going to be sorely challenged by the public adoration for him which due to the nature of the imaginary enemy he fought against to win the White House is enormous to say nothing of that generated ongoing by the MSM. How do you not give in to the temptation to believe your own press? How do you act with humility and balance and not arrogance?

That’s for the messiah-elect to figure out in just under a day. Good luck B. I recommend lots of anti-anxiety meds.
