Swanson Must Simply Continue Good Work, "Fleshing-Out" His Excellent "Parasite" Thesis
(Apollonian, 14 Mar 10)

"Marc Swanson" has caught precisely the essence of the struggle in which we the people are presently engaged. For as I note regarding "Decline of the West," by Oswald Spengler, hist. and socio-biology are CYCLIC, and the parasites must lose when they peak for their victory--as they destroy the host--and now the parasites must themselves fall-out w. one another.

And the great virtue of this analysis then is we thus identify the topmost "players" among conspirators who are, even now, jockeying for position against one another--and I've actually already identified these as (a) on the pretended "left," the CFR-Bilderberg behind United Nations (UN), and (b) Israel on pretended "right" w. their top accomplices, the "Judeo-Christians" led by false-prophets, Hagee, Robertson, Graham, and the Catholics too.

Key for the people is to RALLY behind real Christianity which upholds TRUTH according, as I note, to Gosp. JOHN. Thus such truth immediately and necessarily requires the premise/criterion of OBJECTIVITY (Aristotle), hence determinism (absolute cause-effect) which then precludes fallacy/delusion of a perfectly "free" human will, the foundation of HUBRIS by which humanity induces insanity upon itself.

The specific fatal, hubristic conceit then, among humans, is that of Pharisaism-moralism which always takes form of Pelagian heresy, the "good-evil" fallacy/delusion by which topmost conspirators gull, deceive, and mislead the people. Presently people are still much over-come w. this sort of Pharisaism-moralism, esp. in the form given/issued by Immanuel Kant, in guise of rationalistic style, no less than THIRD WAVE, historically, after the second denounced by St. Martin Luther against Erasmus "good-works."

Problem, of course, is most people have difficulty for intellect--this then is purpose of Christian aesthetic by which people are enabled by means of dramatization, Christ the allegory for TRUTH--as Gosp. JOHN 14:6.

My own solution is to emphasize the Hegelian-style anti-theses, TRUTH vs. Lies, this being proper way for understanding Christianity which needs perspective and context, without which Christianity is so difficult to grasp for people. Thus in strict philosophic terms, the relevant dichotomy is objectivity vs. subjectivity, subjectivism being foundation for lies, subjectivism the foundation for "good-evil" fallacy/delusion.

CONCLUSION: So anyway, I just wanted to tell "Marc Swanson" he does good work--he must now only pursue the implications of his most excellent thesis--we are indubitably fighting a horrific parasite disease-of-opportunity, without a doubt. Thus we're much like physicians prescribing--and most of all, just trying to achieve correct DIAGNOSIS of problem--which Christianity already dramatizes, as I note, that great battle of TRUTH vs. lies and conspiracy, trying to keep us poor souls in the "dark." Honest elections and death to the Fed. Apollonian

gardenserf, that is a good recommendation. Along with that I would recommend pondering the ponderings of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the one that starts with "And how we burned in the camps." Although the most worthy recipients of any type of backlash are those like Gerry Pasciucco (imagine the irony of him standing in front of a firing squad, wearing his Ché T-shirt) and those who run the Fed and it's appendage organizations, I suppose most of the brunt will be taken by the lowest minions like Mesley. Interesting times indeed.

2010-03-14T08:33:33.317-06:00

Solutions too many of the social problems are available; it is that individuals are either ignorant, apathetic or corrupted by a system. The redistribution of wealth by various government schemes/scams in the name of serving the public, protecting the public or the public good are means of politically controlling the money of those that it ethically belongs to and redistributing it to those it does not ethically belong to. This taking by force has never fosters a prosperous peaceful society for prolong periods and cannot logically do so, because it is unethical and to believe that this will foster an ethical outcome is beyond rational human thought.

A couple things come to mind. We already have a fascist police state that must be privatized if we are to stop it from carrying out the atrocities that their counterparts have done in other nations throughout even the 20th century. America is a well armed society on both sides of the fence and this plays well for private enterprise as the other side is not as brave as they lead us to believe and actually many are cowards. We see them in action everyday as the torment and taser defenseless people.

Our motto needs to be "Privatize Not Socialize" or we will be in for the worst quarter century in U.S. history making the "War of Northern Aggression look like a fight on an elementary school playground.

The sooner we dismantle the political system, bureaucracy and tax system the sooner we will bottom out and start the reconstruction of America. There is no other solution and all others are feeble attempts to maintain control over a system that has placed us is the position we are in today. For those that do not know, the organization "We The People" at http://www.givemeliberty.org is the group leading the fight against the Federal Income Tax. Those that are not willing to truly fight against the tyranny of government should crawl cowardously back into their caves.

Mahatma Gandhi and the Indians used passive resistance to stop the English from their predatorily imperialism by not giving them money.

Until such day as taxation is understood to be what it really is, (theft and/or coercion) and that the redistribution of wealth cannot foster an ethical civil society, we will forever be embroiled in a fight over political power and the ability to manipulate free enterprise. As we all should know, free enterprise should not be manipulated by government regulation and taxation, so that those participating in the advancements of industry through production and consumption can property adjust their actions to solve problems. A private legal system must be reinstalled into our system to mitigate malum in se violations. As we all know monopolies (a government granted one being the worst), like a central bank advance socialism and corruption and have never historically advance civil society. A method to begin the implementation of a private system can be seen at http://groups.google.com/group/HarrietRobbins/browse_thread/thread/d2fe2440f7d61564

Christ Was/Is Positive Ideal--But Only As Contrasted Against Over-Powering Negative Horror
(Apollonian, 13 Mar 10)

Comrades: I submit things are quite as bad, perhaps even worse, as Mr. Grigg herein so well relates and describes. But note the human condition is one of sin, and we must therefore consider THINGS WILL GET EVEN WORSE--why?--because it can, and why wouldn't it, as long as it benefits those devilish "geniuses" who are at bottom of all the present difficulties.

For the poor, stupid goyim (cattle, addicted to hedonism, football games, etc.) are so readily and willingly confused and befuddled by means of TV, entertainment, movies, and other mass-corporate media instrumentalities.

And as long as these stupid goyim allow themselves, so willingly, as I note, to be so mis-instructed, misled, and befuddled--HOW IS IT THEY DON'T FULLY DESERVE THEIR DEMISE?--isn't it inevitable part of law of nature? Thus the weak will fall by proverbial "wayside"--as they fully deserve, one must observe in all truth, grim as it is.

Thus, as we who (try to be) are wise observe: (a) those who are simply tooooooooooooooooo stupid must die, making some room for those more capable of survival. (b) The remainder lucky enough to survive MUST UNITE AGAINST A COMMON ENEMY.

For note, ultimately, people only unite AGAINST A NEGATIVE--never in favor of a positive. Any positive is only understood AGAINST background of that horrific negative. Jesus Christ was precisely one of these sort of positives--now folks only have to figure out the negative--not difficult to do as one is honest.

CONCLUSION: For who then are the champions of LIES?--who gloat that they "executed" (murdered) Christ, who worship lies as integral part of their very Talmudic religion? I'll give u three guesses, and a hint: see Gospel JOHN 8:44. Honest elections and death to the Fed.

2010-03-13T08:30:23.538-07:00

Just last night, licensures were discussed on Fox by John Stoussel. As always John provided a fair two-fold presentation allowing the socialists to present their reasons for manipulating the marketplace; Lawyers and Doctors protecting the need for state regulated licenses, as protecting the public. However, what seems to be a reasonable assertion does not historically pan out. Licensures do not generally protect the public and cause huge disparities in the marketplace allowing Doctors and Attorneys to make 10 to 20 times more per hour than other professions and more importantly make their services unaffordable to a vast majority of society. Anytime you restrict competition as licensures do, it drastically affects the marketplace and the regulatory and educational requirements. For instance, many allopathic doctors are erroneous taught that alternative medicine cannot cure cancer when they have been curing it literally for centuries and I personally have experienced for myself and witnessed others being cured. Licensures for the medical profession have caused a large untruthful promotion of harmful practices of medicine causing both more illness and death, hence their large malpractice premiums.

I bring this issue as an example of the negative ramification and unintended consequences that government control and regulations have on society. Just as government police turn against their own citizens as an attempt to bring in more money to their departments and local government treasures. Tax and fine collection become more important than fighting real crime preferring to enforce malum prohibitum laws like drugs and prostitution as opposed to real crimes like theft; both white and blue collar - malum in-se laws. Government police end up protecting the local and state bureaucracies instead of the public-at-large by focusing on the collections of taxes necessary to secure their payrolls and pensions. Only by privatizing police, something they will fervently oppose, as it will force them to increase the quality of their service, hence working harder, will society once again be really protected. As long as we allow public police we will not be properly protected from the criminals without and from within our government and populace.

Solutions too many of the social problems are available; it is that individuals are either ignorant, apathetic or corrupted by a system. The redistribution of wealth by various government schemes/scams in the name of serving the public, protecting the public or the public good are means of politically controlling the money of those that it ethically belongs to and redistributing it to those it does not ethically belong to. This taking by force has never fosters a prosperous peaceful society for prolong periods and cannot logically do so, because it is unethical and to believe that this will foster an ethical outcome is beyond rational human thought.

Will,

Ironic that the surname of the blue-tinted douche-bag that is the subject of your column is a homonym for "measly". I do have a nit to pick again - your statement concerning "...one of the decent and conscientious Albany police officers he counted among his friends..." I realize that such prose adds an air of objectivity and perhaps a bit of flourish. However, your own columns attest to the fact that, if such personages actual exist (highly debatable) they are so rare and ephemeral as to be unworthy of mention, let alone emphasis.

Anonymous @ 9:33PM & other ballot believers,

So long as you delude yourself that electoral politics is in any way a moral and justifiable exercise, you are condemned to your confusion. The fact is that a "representative republic" changes nothing essential about democracy, which is rightly described as "two wolves and a sheep voting on the luncheon menu". The "representatives" constitute nothing but a sham layer of misdirection, the results are exactly the same as for any government: parasites employing thugs to rob the productive.

2010-03-12T12:57:05.619-07:00

Will,

Although not directly related to your article, there was this story out of southern Utah:

http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=9978546

I found the comments section interesting - especially the number of people who are willing to defer to the police ("we should wait for the investigation to run its course") but who blame the two elderly sisters. (In fairness, there are those comments that blame the police flat out).

Cedar City is about 40 miles north of St. George and has its own UHP outpost. Why this officer felt the need to "hurry" to an accident scene that far away remains to be seen. I, however, am the first to question the needless loss of life in order for one of these "brothers in brown"(the color of UHP uniforms) to join his fellow officers at the scene of another accident in which a young 25-year old woman died, only to end up killing two elderly women himself.

The skeptic in me thinks that this "investigation" will work like this:
- the officer will get a paid vacation.
- the police will investigate themselves
- the police will decide that the officer was (most likely) "justified" in speeding to the scene of an accident 40 miles away
- the officer will be reinstated
- two elderly sisters will be placed in pine boxes and put six feet underground - with no compensation from the officer who took their lives

There's something about these scenarios that always bothers me: The law enforcement officer can, essentially, engage in reckless driving, kill someone, and likely get away with it.

Pardon my cynicism...and keep up the great work.

I just cruised through an article about Federal workers wages, on USA Today I think, and beyond the absurdities defended by government shills and tax-feeding troglodytes, there are the idiotic "comments" by life long parasites and defenders of the same.

Your head literally spins from reading the swill that's served up as a wisdom by the swine who can't do anything meaningful with their wretched lives but serve the engines of our mutual destruction. They don't care and even tell anyone who points out these absurdities that they can freely leave. Interesting.

Based on this sort of twisted "consensus" the Founders were a bunch of ungrateful bastards for wanting to mind their own affairs and not be taxed to death. Hmmm? Would these paladins of public service tell Jefferson to go elsewhere? I posit that they would seeing as they're as ignorant as a sack of hammers. And that's being unkind to hammers.

Anon @9:33

The recent repeal of an initiative that required a two-thirds vote by the legislature to raise or create new taxes left Washington vulnerable to an income tax, which the legislature started working on within 24 hours of the repeal. While our precious governor, "Ms" Gregoire said, "I hope, I expect the people of the state of Washington will understand we're in unprecedented times, uncharted territory. And it's time for us to all stick together and work together if we're going to get through the worst recession in the history of the state" (working together? I've been working, but I haven't seen anyone from the gubmint working along side me), others started thinking. The idea isn't new, but the mood has changed and previously archaic concepts like secession and nullification have gone relatively mainstream, so now is as good a time as any for Eastern Washington to secede from Western Washington. Seeing as how Eastern Oregon has more in common with Western WA, culturally and geographically, than it does with Western WA, I don't see why we shouldn't put in with each other. Let the west side be the west side and the east side be the east. If Lincoln could do it to Virginia, why can't we do it to ourselves?

Anyway, we're just getting things going, but I don't think it would hurt to get some support from our neighbors to the south.

2010-03-10T22:33:34.288-07:00

What can be said at this point?
Here in Oregon the legislature (which meets once every other year and consequently draws up 2 budgets per session) and governor had, HAD to be aware by the year 2007 that the good times weren't going to last indefinitely. So did they make modest budget cuts to prepare? Hell no! Everything was written with the now usual 2,4,or 6% annual increase. Well, revenues fell. After more than a decade of surpluses (proving how overtaxed the residents of Oregon have been) their latest figures show a deficit. What to do? Why, what else... increase taxes on those still in business and still working. We can't let a state or local employee go through the terrible stress of not having a 'cost of living' pay increase for a year or 2.

Here's my fear, though. I'm now 40 years old and have paid attention to politics and business since I was a child. Oregon used to be a fiscally conservative state. Known for good roads and clean roads. And public beaches. But in the early '70's a great wave of immigration came from both California and New York residents running from the misery they created in those states, eager for a new start in Oregon. The '80's brought a second wave, the late '90's-early '00's another.
Now, the Willamette Valley voters totally dominate the state. They put new taxing schemes on the ballot, then vote them in, making ranchers in Joseph and Paisley pay for their toys. Sometimes they have the courage to vote down boondoggles, such as 'Light Rail' for Portland (they vote down taxation issues when they can't 'share' the tax with the rest of the state). That doesn't matter, as METRO runs around the vote and manages to sell obligation bonds and build new choo choo lines.
But back to that fear. As California and Oregon implode, those who can afford to move, will. To places like Idaho and Montana and other states still relatively conservative with their money. The problem, as we in Oregon have learned firsthand, is that they bring their same insanely stupid ideas with them. They refuse to see the correlation between big government and big financial and moral problems for the state. And as they move to small population states, they tip the scales. Where elections used to be won 54 - 46 with 600,000 people voting, only a 10% growth in immigration from the West Coast can turn each and every election on its head.
It happened here. Oregon is beautiful, but a good place to live only if you are:
1) Retired with a good retirement income
2) A 'Professional' (atty, doctor, etc)
3) A Local, County, Metro, State, or Federal Gov't Employee
4) Independently wealthy.

BUT... good or bad... it is all coming to a head soon (I think). A point soon will be reached where it will be up to gov't employees to pay the tax bill to pay gov't salaries. It won't take a Federal Accountant to figure out something will have to give. And it won't be the middle class doing the 'giving'. Because the middle class will be extinct. Not just in Oregon... but nationwide.

Indeed, MoT. Such "lists" are superfluous at the moment, since members of the parasite class use every available opportunity to publicly, arrogantly, and imperiously identify themselves as such. Methinks, however, that the day is not far off when anyone having even a tenuous connection with that unsavory demographic group will waste no time in trying to hide themselves in ways similar to those tried by those Germans after the Second World War and during the subsequent occupation who had been active Nazi Party members or who had served in the Gestapo or the Waffen SS. Unfortunately for today's wretched regimeniks, the popular disaffection with the system they represent and the very fresh memories of the crimes they have committed against innocent productive citizens will be so widespread after the coming collapse that there will be NO PLACE for them to hide. Unless, that is, they can expatriate themselves to some unfortunate corner of the globe that is home to a nation in the market for new talentless sadists with which to staff its own tyrannical regime.

As the president of the `local,' I will not accept `zeroes' [no increase in salaries or benefits]. If that means ... ticking off some taxpayers, then so be it."

Unlike the average mundane or the average libertarian commentator, I relish --indeed, actively look forward to-- arrogant, oinking eructations from the Chris Mesleys of this country. In fact, I look forward to seeing and hearing a whole lot more of them, backed up by a whole lot of raw, unchecked, undisguised criminal violence, in the days, weeks, and months to come. For you see, it is at that point, and only at that point, that Joe and Jane Sixpack-Sheeple, who continue, despite all evidence to the contrary staring them in the face, to see porcine parasites like Mesley and his knuckle-dragging fellow blue-clad gangbangers as heroes rather than the criminal thugs they are, will wake up and fight back. Until Joe and Jane are "jacked up and shaken down" in massive numbers and in mercilessly brutal fashion, until they are robbed penniless, not by armed "mundane" criminals, but by AGENTS OF THE STATE, nothing, and I do mean nothing will ever change.

Amoricons (Americans+morons) are truly the bane of modern human civilization and, quite frankly, are probably beyond redemption. Still, for the small percentage of us in their midst who DON'T deserve to suffer for living lives enshrouded in naive stupidity, cowardice, and willful ignorance, we can only hope that the process of decades of deliberate enstupidation (thank you, Fred Reed) can be reversed.

The attitude displayed by this maggot you feature is all too common among the privileged enforcers of the state, those that flaunt the laws they use against us.

Let them continue. Their master, the state, is already broken financially and morally, but hasn't fallen yet. When it does, those like this maggot described will no longer be able to bask in the light of reflected corruption and power as they do now. They are known by their fruits to those around them, whom they abuse regularly in one way or another.

As with all tyrannical states, sooner or later the power will go. It is then that we shall see where the real power lies as that real power seeks retribution from these types. Given what has gone before, the retribution demanded will be served up very cold. Rightly so.

2010-03-10T06:59:52.195-07:00

It's funny, isn't it, how those of us in the private sector have to accept "zeroes" during the lean times. Even "negatives" in particularly lean times such as this current government-manufactured depression. The price of labor (wages) understandably fluctuates with supply and demand.

But public unions just don't get that, or deliberately refuse to. Look at the example of the Greek public unions' protests and general strike days. It's akin to a parasite protesting the fact that its host is dying.
