COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

      Robert "Draft Dodger" Peterson still cannot fathom that someone is actually taking the fight to the radical Islamic extremists, just what he has be advocating, for just about fifteen years.

      The combined forces of Putin and Assad are undoing what the US - Saudi- Israeli Alliance has work over a decade for, the ouster of Assad. Instead Russia and Syria are taking the fight to the radical Islamic terrorists, and defeating them.

      Robert "Draft Dodger" Peterson is chagrined by these Russian actions, he must want the al-Qeada operatives to take power in Syria, as do the Israelis, Saudis, and the US, well, maybe that'll change.

      Israel’s Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren told the Jerusalem Post that Israel so wanted Assad out and his Iranian backers weakened, that Israel would accept al-Qaeda operatives taking power in Syria.

      “We always wanted Bashar Assad to go, we always preferred the bad guys who weren’t backed by Iran to the bad guys who were backed by Iran.”
      Even if the other “bad guys” were affiliated with al-Qaeda.

  9. ETHNO-NATIONALISTS AGAINST JEFF SESSIONS

    "We have got to eliminate the gringo. . . ."

    January 24, 2017 Alex Mayfield 20


    The National Council for La Raza has been at the forefront of the campaign against Senator Jeff Sessions as well as President Trump’s promise to enforce our immigration laws honestly and equally. Last weekend, the group arranged a march with Rev. Sharpton to protest the Sessions appointment. It has also organized news conferences on the issue, published an anti-Sessions attack on its homepage, are actively promoting the Twitter initiative #StopSessions, and had this to say about the senator in a recent email to its members: “[H]ow can we trust someone with ties to extremist anti-immigrant groups to oversee the lives of immigrants and the Latino community?” His views are “diametrically opposed to those of the Latino community… Tell your senators to protect and defend the rights of all Americans by opposing the confirmation of Sen. Sessions. Adelante.”

    The organization’s attack against racial politics and ethnocentrism may leave some scratching their heads given the group’s own forceful ethno-nationalist mandate and long-time racialist ties to anti-white racist UT-Arlington professor Jose Angel Gutierrez. Before becoming a teacher, Gutierrez created a string of extremist ethno-nationalist organizations, including La Raza Unida ("The United Race"), a political party based in Texas, and the beret-and-combat-boot-wearing Mexican American Youth Organization (MAYO). He was also a key player in the Brown Berets, a paramilitary organization also from the late sixties that’s recently had a resurgence following its alliance with Black Lives Matter.

    Notably, La Raza’s gone out of its way to separate the group from Gutierrez. As it states on its website, Gutierrez “never had any connection to NCLR.” A modest amount of investigative research, however, does indeed show not only does La Raza have connections with Gutierrez, those connections are substantial. The following quotes, taken from throughout the man’s career starting in the late sixties as a key figure in the “Chicano Rights” movement, show why La Raza’s perhaps now wised up to create distance between the two:

    [Narrow down to 4-5 if needed]

    We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him. (Source).

    We are millions… we just have to survive… we have an aging white America… they are not making babies… they are dying… it’s a matter of time… the explosion is in our population. (Source).

    Our devil has pale skin and blue eyes (Source).

    Is it the duty of every good revolutionary to kill every newborn White baby? (Source).

    It's too late for the Gringo to make amends. Violence has got to come (Source).

    We realize that the effects of cultural genocide takes many forms—some Mexicanos will become psychologically castrated, others will become demagogues and gringos as well and others will come together, resist and eliminate the gringo. We will be the latter (Source).

    We are the future of America. Unlike any prior generation, we now have the critical mass. We’re going to Latinize this country (Source).

    See recent picture of Gutierrez here holding signs reading 1st Illegal Alien in US: Pilgrim and 1st Illegal Alien in Texas: Sam Houston, Davey Crocket, Sam Bowie, etc.

    Around the time Gutierrez made the above "aging white America" quote, La Raza, which again states emphatically it “never had any connection” to him, presented the man with its “Chicano Hero Award”, a reward for his apparent ‘service’ to the Hispanic community....

  13. The other day, Q make an interesting remark during th discussion of whether the "People" had electd Mr Trump, or was his election to be credited to the Electoral College, seeing as how Mrs Clinton had the majority of the popular votes cast.

    He he said that I should, I believe he wrote ...
    "Get over it"

    Well, I have, but the President of the United States, Donald Trump, seems to be 'hung up' in his rigging.

    It just doesn't get better than this ...

    Forced to defend the President's remarks to congressional leaders on Monday night,(... revival of debunked claims that millions of illegal voters are to blame for him losing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton -- in essence challenging the legitimacy of his election ... his spokesman Sean Spicer was unable to quell the controversy on Tuesday, citing "studies and evidence" -- then refused to discuss or produce any such material.

    "The President does believe that, I think he's stated that before, and stated his concern of voter fraud and people voting illegally during the campaign and continues to maintain that belief based on studies and evidence people have brought to him,"
    ...

    He's already triggered a furious backlash on Capitol Hill after repeating his conspiracy theory about his failure to win the popular vote in front of congressional leaders on Monday, according to several sources.

    "If the President of the United States is claiming that 3.5 million people voted illegally, that shakes confidence in our democracy -- he needs to disclose why he believes that,"
    Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham told CNN on Tuesday.

    Rep. Will Hurd, a Texas Republican, said he saw no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
    "I would suggest the White House looks in their windshield and not the rearview mirror. They did something that nobody thought they could do. They should be proud (of) that and not let this be a distraction,"
    ..."

  14. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham blasted President Donald Trump, saying Tuesday he was undermining confidence in both the American democratic system and himself with the continued claims of voter fraud.
    Trump surprised the top Republicans and Democrats in Congress on Monday when, during a dinner at the White House, he repeated his claim that millions of undocumented immigrants voted for Hillary Clinton -- allegedly depriving him of the popular vote.

    "I wasn't there, but if the President of the United States is claiming that 3.5 million people voted illegally, that shakes confidence in our democracy — he needs to disclose why he believes that,"
    Graham told CNN on Tuesday.

    Trump has offered no evidence of the alleged voter fraud, and his claim, originally made two months ago, has been repeatedly debunked.

    Graham has been one of staunchest Trump critics in the Senate but recently announced he would support Trump's pick for secretary of state, an olive branch to the new President.
    Graham cautioned Tuesday that the continued harping from Trump would ultimately undermine his own support among the public.
    "I would urge the President to knock this off; this is the greatest democracy on Earth, we're the leader of the free world, and people are going to start doubting you as a person if you keep making accusations against our electoral system without justification," Graham said.
    "This is going to erode his ability to govern this country if he does not stop it."

    ...

    Graham's candid broadside stood out Tuesday, as other top Republicans -- some apparently exasperated -- ducked questions on Trump's latest comment.

    Sen. John Thune, R-South Dakota, repeatedly said "I don't know the answer," when asked how Trump came up with his numbers. Sen. Tim Scott, R-South Carolina, would only say "it's not important to me" when asked about Trump's comments. And Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, said Trump's claim was "distracting (journalists,) not me."

    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who was at Monday's dinner at the White House when Trump revived the allegation, deflected a question by saying that voter fraud is real and happens in his home state of Kentucky.

    ...

    House Speaker Paul Ryan -- who has previously fought back against Trump's allegations of voter fraud -- largely sidestepped a question about his thoughts when Trump brought the claim up again in their meeting Monday.
    "I've already commented on that, I've seen no evidence to that effect. I've made that very, very clear,"
    Ryan said Tuesday.

  15. Last Friday Democrats said they were going to allow the US Senate to hold a vote on Donald Trump CIA nominee Mike Pompeo.

    Then Chuck Schumer changed his mind.

    Senator Cotton approached Schumer to confront him on the US Senate floor.

    Cotton said to Schumer, “Hey you promised you were going to hold this vote. You didn’t hold it.”

    Schumer reportedly said, “Well where were you eight years ago when we were trying to get through all of President Obama’s nominees?”

    That’s when Cotton snapped back,

    “Eight years ago I was getting my a** shot at in Afghanistan… so don’t talk to me about where I was eight years ago.”

    5. Almost 50 percent of all California driver’s licenses issued in 2015 went to illegal immigrants, according to recent state reports, wrapping up the first year of a state-wide program designed to provide Department of Motor Vehicle services to those without citizenship.

      In total, California issued 605,000 driver’s licenses to illegals a year after the program started Jan 2, 2015, which is far more than the anticipated number, the Orange County Register reports. The program is expected to cost the state $141 million over a period of three years.

      There have been 830,000 applications from illegals, based on numbers from Dec. 31, 2015.

      They get walking around money to enroll them at all locals of any form of public assistance.

      Three million in a bad year is probably too conservative.

      Delete
    9. The Key is you need documents to get assistance:


      (You must live in the county where the application is made.)
      Names and proof of age of all persons applying

      Proof of shelter costs; copies of rent or mortgage payments, insurance, tax receipts, utility bills

      Proof of income such as pay stubs, award letters or other documents showing amount received
      Information about resources such as cash on hand, money in checking/savings accounts, real estate, motor vehicles, etc.


      Depending on the program you are applying for and your individual circumstances you may need to provide additional information to establish your eligibility. Your will be advised what additional information is needed. If you are having trouble getting information you need, the worker at the welfare office can assist you with this. Always provide complete and honest information.

      Only certain non-citizens lawfully admitted are eligible to receive benefits. The rules for non-citizens are complicated. Even if some family members are not eligible due to their immigration status, other members may be able to receive benefits.

      The welfare office is required to make a decision about your application within a certain period of time depending on the program you applied for, usually it's within 30 days. You should receive written notice of their decision. If you are not eligible for benefits you are entitled to receive a written denial from the welfare office.

      The amount of cash, food stamps and energy assistance you will receive is based on your countable income and the number of persons in your household. The medical benefits you receive will vary depending on your category of medical assistance eligibility.

      If the welfare office determines you are eligible and need immediate assistance based on your circumstances, you can receive benefits in a few days.

      Cash, food stamp credits, and some medical benefits (Access) are received through the Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system which uses a plastic card and personal identification number. Other medical benefits are received through managed care plans from participating provider. Energy assistance is generally paid directly to the utility provider.

      Your notice of eligibility will tell you how many months you can receive the benefit before you must reapply. You are required to report any changes in your circumstances which may effect your eligibility

They will fill it out for you reminding you that without people voting Democrat, the Republicans will take away their assistance.

      Add that up to the evidence that almost no one anywhere gets charged for voting illegally. The consequence of voter fraud is limited to getting turned away at the polling station. That is it.

      Common sense and the numbers and the system and the incentives point to massive self serving non-consequential voting fraud.

    6. So during the media call conducted by Sean Spicer and Jason Miller, when NPR’s Tamara Keith asked if they could point to evidence of voter fraud and the “millions of people who Trump claims voted illegally,” Miller was happy to comply. Miller referred to (((the 2014 Washington Post study))) that indicated more than 14 percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 elections indicated they were registered to vote, and the Pew Research study that said approximately 24 million, or one out of every eight, voter registrations in the United States are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate. Miller went on to say that the same Pew Research study notes that 2.5 million people have registrations in more than one state. These are studies and examples of where there have been issues of both voter fraud and illegal immigrants voting.

    Women’s March organizer Linda Sarsour makes Islamic State signal

    JANUARY 24, 2017 12:22 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER 47 COMMENTS

    Linda Sarsour (more about her here) is clearly making the sign of allegiance to the Islamic State in this photo: the upraised index finger. The signal of the index finger held up is, of course, used in myriad contexts, and Muslims in general have used it as a sign of allegiance to tawhid, Islam’s absolute monotheism. However, in recent years it has become very much associated with allegiance to jihad groups, particularly the Islamic State. This signal has been known to be a sign of allegiance to the Islamic State for almost as long as there has been an Islamic State. It has been described as the group’s “ubiquitous hand signal.”

    It strains credulity to think that a Muslim as committed and informed as Linda Sarsour in January 2017 would not know its significance as a sign of support for the Islamic State. Her defenders will no doubt heap scorn upon those who note this, and say it’s just a universal sign of being Muslim. To affirm that is to ignore a multitude of photographs of jihadis and news stories that have been published over the last three years. Linda Sarsour, in making this gesture, had to know what she was implying, and how Muslims the world over would understand it. She also could count on the credulity and willful ignorance of her Leftist allies to make sure that she would suffer no damage to her role as a civil rights heroine.

    EXCLUSIVE: TRUMP EXPECTED TO SIGN EXECUTIVE ORDERS ON IMMIGRATION
    By Julia Edwards Ainsley | WASHINGTON

    U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS EXPECTED TO SIGN SEVERAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS ON WEDNESDAY RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION FROM SYRIA AND SIX OTHER MIDDLE EASTERN OR AFRICAN COUNTRIES, ACCORDING TO SEVERAL CONGRESSIONAL AIDES AND IMMIGRATION EXPERTS BRIEFED ON THE MATTER.

    In addition to Syria, Trump’s orders are expected to temporarily restrict access to the United States for most refugees. Another order will block visas from being issued to those from Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, said the aides and experts, who asked not to be identified.

    The restrictions on refugees are likely to include a multi-month ban on admissions from all countries until the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security can make the vetting process more rigorous.

    Stephen Legomsky, a former chief counsel at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Obama administration, said the president has the authority to limit refugee admissions and the issuance of visas to specific countries if it is determined to be in the public’s interest....

    Will Men Ever Pull a Lysistrata on Feminists?
    By Robert Oscar Lopez


    Perhaps the hidden, ugly truth is that women are not the victims, but the perpetrators of erotic aggression in the twenty-first century. It sounds like science fiction, but maybe it's postmodern reality: a large portion of the female population wants to turn men into unfeeling sex robots, available for stimulation when women feel the urge, but thoroughly controlled in terms of what men say and do, even when they are not around women. To "eradicate men" is not to eliminate male bodies, but rather to eliminate every part of the male will that does not serve women's sexual appetites.

    At different points in literature, one finds bold writers uncovering an ancient secret about men and women. For the vast majority of history, societies have feigned a consensus that men are lusty and women coy, men predators and women prey. Yet in the Bible's Book of Proverbs, Solomon presents dangerous women with voracious appetites, like this one: "She grabs and kisses him, she brazenly says to him … Come, let's drink of lovemaking until morning, let's feast on each other's love!" (Proverbs 7:13-18).

    Ovid got himself in a great deal of trouble because his writings alluded repeatedly to women's sexual rapacity as overshadowing that of men. In Book III of Metamorphoses, Tiresias is asked by Juno and Jupiter to decide a dispute: who gets more joy from lovemaking, men or women? Because of two miracles, Tiresias was a male for most of his life but spent several years living the life of a woman, and apparently gaining some carnal knowledge in the latter state. Risking the wrath of Juno, who hopes to paint females as victims of male exploitation, Tiresias states that women "gain more than we do from the pleasures of love."

    Giovanni Boccaccio, of course, ramped up this naughty inference of female lustiness in the Decameron, which presents countless instances of fourteenth-century females entrapping and devouring male ingénus in its one hundred episodes. The tenth story on the fifth day of the Decameron is the most shocking, presenting a discussion between an old housemaid and a young wife. The older woman encourages the young lady to sneak out and have love affairs with other men: "a woman is always ready to do it, but the same is not true with men; what's more, a woman can wear out a number of men while a number of men cannot wear out one woman[.] ... In this world, you've got to grab what you can get, and especially a woman, who needs, even more than men, to take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself" (434-5).1

    1. Feminists will object that these are male fantasies projected onto women, but maybe there is a nugget or more of truth to Ovid and Boccaccio.

      Five years ago, researchers at the State University of New York announced their findings in a fascinating study that seems to have been buried very quickly by the press. As the Daily Mail reported, they found evidence that women depend upon male bodies for emotional health for a basic reason: "Semen contains … chemicals along with spermatozoa, including cortisol, which is known to increase affection, estrone, which elevates mood and oxytocin, which also elevates mood." That is to say, every man is a walking pharmacy with a powerful drug that women crave and suffer without, a natural anti-depressant. The researchers found that women who used condoms or who did not have sex with men were more likely to be depressed and unhappy.

      Given all these data, "eradicate men" is not a harmless little sign. Men are a natural biochemical resource that these anti-Trump feminists hope to harness and harvest without men exerting any will that might complicate their ancient quest for a natural mood serum. The millions of women marching in dozens of large American cities point to the possibility that real danger lurks ahead if these succubus-like activists get their way.

      There is a way to win against them, and the secret lies with Aristophanes's Lysistrata. In that classic Greek comedy, women try to stop a war by refusing to give the men sex until they stop fighting. It is time for the men who are being targeted by these activists – sexually available men with many doses of oxytocin inside them – to take action and go on strike. (I would do this, but I am irrelevant because I am married to a woman who wouldn't go to any such marches anyway.) Men across the globe should unite and pledge not to have sex with any woman who goes to one of these "Eradicate Men" marches until the feminists are deprived of sexual satisfaction and eventually come around to admit that these protests are fruitless and frankly embarrassing.

      Men wouldn't have to give up all sex – just sex with the marchers like the ones who filled American streets the day after the inauguration. I suspect that it wouldn't be that hard to carry out a sex embargo, and all men in the world would probably feel much safer for it.
