Gazing Into The Abyss

Democrats, BLM, Marxists, Soros.......

They are all connected.....



"...Ayers and Dohrn seamlessly became prominent in Democratic Party politics. At their Hyde Park home in 1995, they held a coming-out party for an ambitious political unknown, a community organizer named Barack Obama. Two years later, the future president breathlessly endorsed Ayers’s polemic, A Kind and Just Parent?, as a “searing and timely account.” The book is an indictment of the U.S. criminal-justice system, which Ayers likens to South Africa under apartheid. As Stanley Kurtz has recounted, Ayers helped pave Obama’s way into the radical Left’s extensive fundraising networks; the two collaborated as board members of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, doling out more than $100 million to community organizers and education “reformers.”

Susan Rosenberg’s terrorism sentence was commuted by President Bill Clinton in 2001, part of the scandalous array of clemency grants on his last day in office. (I was then a senior federal prosecutor and had just spent months successfully arguing against her release.) Instantly, she was offered teaching positions at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and, later, Hamilton College, though protests by parents and alumni forced the first to be short-lived and the second declined."

We need to get a handle on this virus and rioters first and foremost. To that most all agree.

"Portland descends into fiery overnight showdown after Dems side with rioters

Anarchists and radical left revolutionaries have long been entrenched in Portland, Oregon, but they have become especially emboldened in recent days as Democratic officials in the city all but align with them to push out federal agents in the city.

Violent protesters continue to lay siege on the city some eight weeks after the death of George Floyd, and while some in the media still call it a Black Lives Matter protest, the chaos in the streets has little to do with racial justice.

On what marked the 52nd straight night of protests, police declared a riot as radicals set the Portland Police Association building on fire."

Not to mention the rioters are spreading the virus.... Protest if you want. Rioting just plain wrong in the nation of the hardest workers in the world.

1. There is 'looking' and there is 'seeing' and often they are not the same thing.
All of us are observing the anarcho-communists in our streets, burning, looting, assaulting. Looking at same, the reaction may be 'tsk, tsk...how terrible.'
But seeing also means understanding what one is observing, and recognizing where it fits into time, and what it presages.

"Whoever fights with monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster in the process. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
Nietzsche


2. What is taking place is not the sort of short-lived riots we saw in LA, or Chicago, or Detroit. It is the destruction of our heritage, our nation, Western Civilization. It is the end-product of the post-war generation, that told us at Port Huron what they were going to do:
Note the themes of the Port Huron Statement (The unrest of the sixties was born in June of 1962 at the AFT-CIO camp at Port Huron, Michigan.): utopia; remaking human nature; anti-capitalism; dissent as the path to an authentic identity.
See Bork, “Slouching Toward Gomorrah,” ch 5


3. One SDS member gave this prescription, exemplifies the principles of the modern Democrat Party:
“four-square against anti-Communism, eight-square against American-culture, twelve-square against sell-out unions, one hundred and twenty against an interpretation of the Cold War that saw it as a Soviet plot and identified American policy fondly.” Todd Gitlin, “The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage,” p. 109-110
And, of course, “against anti-Communism” means pro-Communism and anti-religion.



4. Andrew McCarthy knows whereof he speaks:
"The Revolution Is Winning

This is what the revolution looks like.
Weather Underground terrorists, who made no secret of being anti-AmeriKKKan “small-c” communists, are having more success than they could have dreamed of in the 1960s.

They are dominating the language. You know that whole “white privilege” nostrum that we’re paying universities $60K per year to drum into our children’s brains? It is derived from their lamentation of “white skin privilege.” In their ideology, the revolution to overthrow the capitalist, racist, imperialist system summoned them — lily white radicals — to abandon their privilege and embrace the armed struggle."

5. There is no longer a war.....it's over. It's too late, they own the schools, the media, the judiciary......the St Louis DA confiscated the weapon of law-abiding citizens simply protecting their property, Democrat elected officials encourage the rioters and release any arrested, police doing their duty to protect us are charged, our hope, the Republicans simply look on.

I'm thinking that civilizations may simply have a 'sell-by' date....and we've reached ours.

It was great while it lasted.



6. Here's the thing: the Leftists, the totalitarians are not rational, they will perish with the civilization that they destroy. They don't give it a thought.....they are like the scorpion in the fable:

A scorpion, which cannot swim, asks a frog to carry it across a river on the frog's back. The frog hesitates, afraid of being stung by the scorpion, but the scorpion argues that if it did that, they would both drown. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung the frog despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I couldn't help it. It's in my nature."


We were warned.
We did nothing.
Now we reap the whirlwind.

Yes, you were warned about what would happen if Republican cut taxes and increased spending - again. The first b two times they did it, the economy crashed. The third time was unlikely to be the charm.

Since 1980, Republicans have slashed taxes to the top 10% of wealthy Americans by more than 70%. In the same time frame their deficit spending and using social spending to support low wages for publicly traded corporations has transferred more than 40% of the wealth of the nations to corporations.

40 years of “trickle down” economics has seen the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the world - all of it upward to the top 10%. Trump wants the pandemic to keep rolling because it’s accelerating the consolidation of wealth and power at the top.

PoliticalCount without the “u” is selling you a load of bullshit and false promises.

Such low-class trash slips into threads all too often.


This is the coarsening of the culture that Democrats bring forth.

"Earlier in the week, we posted an interesting video from ex-Google and Facebook employee, Patrick Shyu, who explained why he thought "diversity" policies were creating more problems than solutions.


"...just because you didn't like something I said... for 10 years I said all great things and then one time I say something that you may not necessarily like, you disable my entire account and I lose access to all the past 10 years information... and there's no explanation, no customer service, and not much an appeals process."

"I think it is quite disturbing the age of censorship in which we are entering with most communication dominated by these top-tier tech companies... and almost all of these companies have certain political biases, promoting only certain viewpoints and blocking others."

They simply "don't want to promote a open, free discussion," he ominously concludes, "and there is no such thing as a neutral platform or means of discussion these days."
