Hillary’s condition

Hillary has been photographed being stabilized by two assistants as she climbs the stairs. This used to be Hollywood’s way of depicting someone as drunk – that he needed assistance to climb stairs without falling over and falling down. Hillary is known to have injured her head by falling down. Hillary has seizures. Seizures are typical of repeated severe alcohol withdrawal. Diazepam is used to control seizures and to treat …

Why Trump is Hitler

You have doubtless seen lots of people arguing that Trump is Hitler. Often “Trump is literally Hitler!” Of course people who read my blog know what “literally” means, and though Trump is obviously not literally Hitler, there is in fact a good argument that Trump is Hitler. But for some strange reason, Democrats never make the argument out loud in plain words. I wonder why. The argument, said outright in …

Fertility and corporal punishment

To 1933, wives in movies are never spanked by their husbands. From 1933 to 1945, wives in movies are sometimes spanked, but it is shocking, unexpected and unusual. From 1945 to 1963, wives in movies and on television are sometimes spanked and it is routine, respectable, and usual. For example in “I love Lucy” we are never shown a spanking on screen, but Lucy is regularly very afraid of receiving …

Now four sovereign nations

Reactionaries are fond of saying there are three independent nations on the earth: America, Russia, and China. Everyone else is under the boot of the Cathedral, except for a few small protectorates of Russia and China. Each sovereign nation has its own Twitter equivalent, which enforces the values of its own state religion. It looks like Turkey may be added to the list, probably leading the Cathedral to re-evaluate Islam. …

Defense of capitalism:

Reactionary future criticizes capitalism from the right. Capitalists have power independent of the state. They are apt to use that power politically. Example George Soros. By and large, capitalists overwhelming back the left. But, if they back the left, they are sucking up to power, or like the NGOs, serving the state when the state wants a smidgen of deniabity. For example you cannot see daylight between George Soros in …

Separation of Church and State has failed catastrophically.

Same problem as anarcho capitalism. The vacuum is apt to be filled. And today it is filled with an official government belief system that daily becomes more extreme, and is enforced more coercively. In retrospect it is clear that in England the demand to disestablish the Anglican Church came from a competing religion, then called Evangelism, descended from Puritanism, which was already most of the way to becoming the state …

How to give effect to Brexit

Supposedly, if the British voted for exit, the government would immediately invoke article 50 – would give notice that Britain was resigning from the EU. That is what the prime Minister told them. Well, the British voted for exit, and surprise, surprise, the government is not invoking article 50. The prime minister lied. What a surprise. Are you surprised? And every day, the most appalling scum, mostly black Muslims from …

George Soros on Brexit

Mixed in amongst the usual lies, were some truths. The “Leave” campaign exploited the deteriorating refugee situation – symbolized by frightening images of thousands of asylum-seekers concentrating in Calais, desperate to enter Britain by any means necessary – to stoke fear of “uncontrolled” immigration from other EU member states. Why the quote marks around “uncontrolled” Soros? Was not that the plan all along – to bring in five hundred million …

All slopes are slippery

The Guardian remarks: The deeper fear among Tory remainers now isn’t just of a recession. It’s about the rise of something new in British politics When Tony Abbott halted illegal immigration to Australia he took a total no exceptions policy – not one illegal would be allowed in or allowed to stay, however sad his case, not one anchor baby would be allowed to stay. A power struggle ensued over …

Church Authority versus Sovereign authority

The natural tendency is for Church and Sovereign to become one (interpreting Religion and Church broadly to include progressivism as a religion and Harvard as its Church)  If one, the question goes away. But sometimes church and sovereign are geographically different, as when the Holy Roman Empire lost power, resulting in one Roman Catholic Church and many Roman Catholic Kings. Whereupon trouble ensues, and the question becomes urgent. What tends …
