Gone but Together Again. Dad & Uncle |
I've been on on Joe Millers "Fighting for your Liberty" email list for quite some time. Today's email had a very interesting article that provided me with more insight as to "everything going on". As such I thought I would share the article with all my fellow invisible friends for your review and comment: The Highland Park Shooter Pulled the Trigger, but Did the Democrat Party Load the Rifle? July 5, 2022/by Lawrence Sellin On July 4, 2022, a gunman opened fired on an Independence Day parade in Highland Park, Illinois, killing six and wounding twenty-four in an act of unprovoked violence, no doubt influenced by the constant drumbeat of anti-American hate coming from the political left. The behavior of the modern Democrat Party is not without historical precedent. As Democrats continue their political march leftward, and lacking popular support, they have adopted the non-democratic tactics directly out of the Communist Party playbook. After the successful 1917 communist revolution in Russia, the political left widely believed that a violent proletarian revolt would sweep across Europe and, ultimately, North America. It did not. As a result, the Communist International began to investigate other ways to create the state of societal hopelessness and alienation necessary as a prerequisite for socialist revolution, in essence, to erode Western democracy from within. The single, most important organizational component of that effort was a Communist think tank called the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, Germany, popularly known as the Frankfurt School. When the Nazis assumed power in Germany, the Frankfurt School transplanted itself to Columbia University in New York City. The task of the Frankfurt School was first, to undermine the foundation of Western civilization that emphasized the uniqueness of the individual and, second, to determine new cultural forms which would increase the disaffection of and division among the population. Just as in classical economic Marxism, where certain groups like workers and peasants are a priori good, and other groups like the bourgeoisie and capital owners are evil, in Cultural Marxism, feminists, racial and ethnic minorities and those who define themselves according to sexual orientation are deemed good and “victims” of societal injustice. It logically follows, then, that white males and “privilege” and, by extension, Western civilization, are automatically and irredeemably malevolent. Ergo, Critical Race Theory. To many Americans, the Democrat Party promotes policies that undermine the United States as a sovereign nation, our Constitution, our culture, our traditions, all of what “America” has come to mean. Part of that effort is to weaken our ability to transmit to the next generation the values and traditions upon which the United States was built. Ergo, the 1619 Project, the destruction of historical statues and the renaming of military bases. Layered on top of the Democrat Party’s war on American culture is the Biden regime’s controlled demolition of the U.S. economy. The inevitable outcome of Democrat policies is a dystopia, characterized by a cataclysmic decline of a society, in which a totalitarian government enforces ruthless egalitarianism by suppressing or denouncing ability and accomplishment, or even competence, as forms of inequality. Ergo, the Biden regime’s “equity” agenda. Foremost among the Democrat Party’s dystopic policies is the eradication of the family as America’s primary social institution. Ergo, government-sponsored drag queen story hour for children and the promotion of transgenderism. In his article, “Why Americans Are Not Taught History,” Christopher Hitchens, compared America’s present-day culture with the Democrat Party’s leftist utopian myth. For the true blissed-out and vacant servitude required by the Democrat strategy, you need a society that lacks any sense of itself through an understanding of its own history and traditions. The low-information voter will submit to a combination of governmental coercion as in George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four” and the hedonist nihilism of a painless, amusement-sodden, and stress-free consensus managed by the nanny-state found in Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World.” The social chaos and extremism we are currently witnessing in the United States is the product of a well-funded and well-organized anti-American agenda, and a Democrat Party that enables rather than opposes the aims of our enemies. Ergo, Antifa, BLM and the Highland Park shooter. ______________________________________________ Lawrence Sellin, Ph.D. is retired U.S. Army Reserve colonel and a veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Destroy the Church, destroy the family, destroy the schools, destroy the country. They've been playing the long game for 100 years.

And Barack Obama was seeped in the teachings of the Frankfurt School at Columbia University. Joe Biden isn't smart enough to be behind all of this... but his "Presidency" is the third term of the Obama regime. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

In human history, it has ALWAYS been about 1) Absolute power 2) a pliable citizenry to control. Today's Democrat Party is using the same exact playbook as those in past history.

She's never struck me as being smart, or evil, enough for that position. Valerie Jarrett on the other hand.... ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

I think there are other factors that contributed to the Highland Park shooter besides the anti-American hate coming from the political left. He was conditioned first. I don't know enough about the topic itself but some people have been pointing to a common denominator of marijuana usage between this and the uvalde shooter among others. That's not to say marijuana caused them to shoot people but it sets them up to be more open to thoughts of shooting people. I'm neither for or against marijuana, recreational or otherwise. But I understand the potency is a whole lot more now than when I was young. And there were some pretty potent stuff already back then. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Yes, and I am saddened that so few see that, but that has been their plan, dumb down America and slide it past them disguised as Build Back better. The conservative folk? I'm sure they have that figured out also and have a plan for us in true Marxist style. With the phony election in Nov of 20 they really kicked it into high gear, hell, hyper speed, exposing their plan beyond all reasonable doubt. With that I almost expect them to find a way to post pone the elections of 22. They should realize, maybe by now, they will be very unpopular by then. Will that be too late? _____________________ | |||

In 1963, Congress was so concerned about communism that they read the 45 declared goals of communism into the Congressional record. Communism did NOT die with the fall of the Berlin wall, instead it rebranded itself as progressivism and socialism and today the 45 declared goals are largely accomplished thanks to a long game, a legion of useful idiots, and apathy. For example, #15 was "Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States."
