The three religions

The day that symbolizes the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Emmanuel) seemed like a good day to bring up some uncomfortable truths. Aside from India and their 1000 and 1 gods, religion on this planet comes down to Christianity, Judaism or Islam. Judaism believes killing goats will get you to heaven. Along with chanting certain prayers and I assume following the 10 Commandments. As Wikipedia puts it, it is an “ethnic” religion, you have to be a Jew to practice Judaism.

Islam believes the way to peace, happiness and eternal life is to kill everyone else on the planet who does not believe like they do (Jihad). That’s why the Middle East has been an eternal hotbed of violence. There’s your choice, kill goats or kill people. Well, I suppose there is a third way. Jesus. Actually, He’s not the third way He’s the only way. What’s funny is the Muslims and Jews that open their minds even just a little to God/Jesus/Holy Ghost often experience the most dramatic conversions.

God has a way of doing this throughout our history, taking the most unlikely people and working them into His plan. To make it abundantly clear that it is His doing. Not someone doing it on their own. Unfortunately, nothing will change this Christmas. “Peace on Earth” will not happen this year. Or the next, or the next, or the next. Nope, instead of accepting Jesus, stubborn fools will insist on keeping the bloodletting going. Which is ironic once again, as it was Jesus’ blood that did the job once and for all. So the other 2 religions were right in a way, there is a blood sacrifice required, just not theirs, or goats, or other people.

Sure these are uncomfortable truths that make a person squirm. Murder and violence make a person squirm too. The other 2 religions really don’t pass the smell test. Unless your mother was a Jew you won’t be going to heaven? And Islam’s requirement to kill the infidel makes sense? Its time people started calling nonsensical gibberish what it was. Jesus was born and died for you, not the other way around.

All you have to look at are trends and ‘big picture’ themes. Where do wars come from? Where do charities come from? What 3 continents have functioning societies? Why is it Muslims always flee to Christian countries? Who practices exclusion and says you can never truly be one of us? Who offers peace, love and forgiveness? Who offers murder, mayhem and dysfunction?

What’s the one spot on the globe that has never had peace in its entire existence?

Nope, until people are able to admit the obvious, we will make no progress. Some people are pagan savages incapable of civilized behavior. They are not ready for prime time. They do not play well with others. Harsh? You bet. So is their existence which has never contributed 1 positive thing to the world. If you want to end this unimaginable cruelty, you have to start somewhere.

“IDF strikes multiple ‘terrorist targets’ in Gaza in response to missiles fired into Israel on Christmas” – this just happens to be news from today, 12/25/20. Just the way it is for 1,400 years. Its what they do, its like breathing for them. And for anyone who refuses to see, no amount of evidence would ever convince them of the irrational nature of these savages. Just a bunch of gibberish dreamt up by a highway bandit.

Its a scary world

Very scary. This brave new world of Big Tech censorship is a scary one. Swear to God the modern day American takes freedom of speech for granted, and cannot see how it is slipping away. It started in the 70s with “political correctness“. Not that you should not say something because it was wrong to do so, but because of societal pressure. I determined early on in the pandemic that I could tell the state of COVID-19 by the rising and falling amounts of toilet paper on the shelves. I had the innate feeling it would be a quicker and more accurate barometer than any government report.

For speech my measuring stick has always been the use of the word ‘nigger’. In the first part of the decade of the 70s it would still appear once in awhile on a show like All in the Family to demonstrate Archie’s racism, and in the odd movie now and again. In Blazing Saddles they “used it” sort of, they bleeped it out, but you knew what they were saying. Blazing Saddles was more in the middle of the decade. The shift was beginning. Don’t use a word because you know better, not out of fear.

Now we have supposedly rational adults talking about the ‘N’ word. Perhaps the worst part of the censorship is being banned from someplace and not even being told why. Now with Twitter I at least knew why I was kicked off there. I had commented that it was sick behavior for these muslims to be burning a dog alive in this video. I got banned for saying a protected group had exhibited sick behavior.

Now when I got kicked off YouTube I don’t know what it was for. It could have been when in the comment section on a video about the eternal corruption of the Mexican government I had called that country a shithole. Or it could have been on the 500th video on this crime channel where the perpetrators were black males between the ages of 15 and 35 wearing hoodies, and I had pointed that out. As Ann Coulter says, at a certain point it ceases to be profiling, and becomes a description of the suspect.

I can’t even remember what got me kicked off of Facebook. It was something right before the election when they were wanting to purge conservatives and I had said something about Democrats and cheating. On Gateway Pundit and World Net Daily I got kicked off for using my “emphasis” words: ‘damn, bastard, asshole’, and the like. Those type of sites all use a service called Disqus that is a modern incarnation of George Carlin’s 7 Dirty Words. It catches your ‘poo poo pee pee titty’ type words.

So now we come to the final stages of censorship. That’s the way tyranny works, it gets its nose under the tent, and pretty soon its all the way in. The “last bastion”, Gab, won’t let me say ABC or NBC is “fake news“. And to me, someone whose memory goes back to the 60s, this is an absurd and unacceptable situation. FYI 2 sites I haven’t been kicked off of are Breitbart and FOX News. Kind of surprising.

You made her

Conservative media made AOC. She’d be nothing without their hundreds of articles a day on her. She hasn’t even served 2 years yet. But I guess its a good distraction to make her the boogeyman, instead of the Republican Senate and the stimulus bill that put every country but America First.

This picture and accompanying article from Revolver News continues to make AOC responsible for everything wrong in Washington. She just got there! Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski have been their a long time. They’re the ones that subvert the Republican agenda from within, how come you never make fun of them?

AOC made the Republican Senate pass the ‘stimulus’ bill that put every country but America first? AOC made the president sign it?

Rude awakenings

Its a human reaction to be taken aback when something you say is censored. Most often its a computer program like Disqus that’s doing it, but still. I’ve been censored by the best, or worst rather. Just this morning I saw a gal on Gab mentioning how she had been censored by Facebook and YouTube. Its disconcerting. They make you feel like you had done something ‘bad’. In my case I was simply responding to an ABC article by saying “ABC is fake news“. When you can’t say that, something is wrong.

You expect that on a lot of websites, but not Gab. I thought free speech was sacrosanct there. Just last week I’d stuck some money in an envelope and mailed it to them. Over the past couple of years I’d mailed them several checks. You post into a vacuum there, but at least you got to say what you wanted. Until now. The trend in America is not towards free speech. I don’t see how any rational person could disagree with that. They can ban it under the guise of hate speech and whatever other nonsense they want, but in the end its still banned.

“So, Roberts knew about Scalia “wetworks” assassination!
There are detailed recordings of Justice Roberts discussing, suggesting, negotiating, and approving the replacement for Justice Antonin Scalia, PRIOR TO HIS “SUDDEN” DEATH.’ ” – I just remember there was something about the pillow.

Buy! Buy! Buy!

Darkstore CEO and founder Lee Hnetinka

Hnetinka was interviewed this morning on CNBC. I wonder if Darkstore is “Amazon” 20 years ago, ridiculed as a joke and not taken seriously? Amazon put ‘brick and mortar’ on life support, Darkstore might be the stake through the heart.

Darkstore as I understand it simply provides urban warehousing and ‘last mile’ delivery for online retail partners. They determine what their most popular consumer items are (shoes, makeup, consumer electronics), and Darkstore warehouses it and provides 2 – 3 hour delivery. Not 2 – 3 day ala Amazon Prime, 2 – 3 hour.

Absent teleportation, that’s pretty quick. Hnetinka pointed out that Amazon builds their fulfillment centers in rural areas, already losing transportation time to Darkstore’s urban facilities. But that’s all setup, and not the main point of my post.

Like Amazon and others, what they are all looking towards is automation, AI, drones and contract labor (like Uber, Deliv, TForce, Final Mile). And of course illegals. Its part of a longtime trend American business has had to get people to Buy! Buy! Buy! – but they don’t actually want to provide the jobs so that people have the money to buy their stuff.

Once you’ve screwed everybody out of a job, oh you’ve “brought down costs” alright, you just don’t have any customers left.

Word fear

Andrew Torba on Gab had an intriguing little piece last night. He said Business Insider had contacted him because they were getting ready to do a piece on the Q Anon phenomenon (say that fast 5 times). Quite correctly he perceived it was going to be a hit piece on anyone even remotely associated with Q Anon, even those like Gab who simply let Americans have freedom of speech.

I started thinking about the angle Business Insider was coming from. They want to squash Q Anon. They want to kill it before it grows (obscure musical reference). They feel that anyone who believes there is a Deep State is guilty of Wrong Think, and must be punished. They don’t want Americans to have freedom of speech. And while anytime you have true freedom of speech, there are going to be a few bumps and chuckholes along the way, it is imminently preferable to tyranny.

[What is “Q Anon” you might ask? Danged if I know, I just know it scares the shit out of the establishment. That’s good enough for me.]

“Americans are voting to legalize weed. It’s unlikely the next Congress will do the same.”

Politico had an interesting article this morning about marijuana legalization. Its going gang busters at the State level, yet nothing seems to be happening at the Federal level. Huh. They blame it on “conservative” members of Congress, especially the Senate, that just don’t like marijuana doggone it! I laughed! That’s not the reason of course. If ever a story was leaving out the real motivations. Congress passing up a taxable event? That’s not like them. Passing up another vice that would weaken America? That’s not like them.

The real reason of course is that the marijuana industry is not coming across with the cash. Their companies are run by such incompetent boobs they can barely keep their heads above water, let alone devote the billions necessary in order to get a law passed. Congress, especially the Senate, has their hand out. If any law is going to get passed, palms have to be greased first. Nothing happens in Washington unless there is a transfer of money. Our government is a whoring institution like none other. “Politico” knows this. Look at their name, they know how politics works.

As someone who knows firsthand, the marijuana industry is run by a bunch of dopers so bad at business they’ve managed to go broke selling weed! How do you do that?? Its like not being able to sell chocolate at a fat farm. Hotdogs at a baseball game. Beer at a college campus. You’ve got to be really bad. Just look a little at MedMen, Tilray, Aurora Cannabis and others, their finances suck! All they’ve been is a Blackhole for cash. They don’t have the billions needed to get a Law passed in Washington.

Biden’s gun control

One of the most amazing implications of a Biden presidency is what he wants to do with gun control. Any white male that voted for him has his head up his ass. Just yesterday the radio reported you would have to register or sell back your weapons to the government. Which is silly, they already know who has what. Why would you need to register them? And if they didn’t know, why would you?

But the part that occurs to me, is the “they’ll take our highway money” excuse for compliance. During Trump’s term, Democrat States told him to go fuck himself, whether it had to do with voting fraud investigations or that they had made themselves “sanctuary states”. But Republican States during Democrat administrations have always dutifully complied with their idiot edicts.

We shall see. California took semi-automatic rifles 25 years ago without a shot fired. Will Democrats/Communists be able to do that to the entire nation?

“Trump got at least 80 million votes”

The New American came through with an interesting article on Trump lawyer Sydney Powell’s assertion that Trump got at least 80 million votes. I’ve been reading that a lot. The algorithms had been set up to throw it to Biden expecting a difference of a few percentage points. Trump’s landslide forced them to halt counting Tuesday night so they could recalculate. That was why the 3 am ballot drops of 150,000 or more were brought in, all Biden ballots, and only a vote for him on the entire ballot. That’s not fake as all shit, eh?

Conservative blog de-platformed

World Net Daily had an eyecatcher this morning, it was about the WordPress.com blog Conservative Tree House being given till sundown to get out of town (actually December 2). Evidently this town wasn’t big enough for the both of them. Ironic as it is today that the Senate is again holding hearings on Big Tech censorship. Its been going on for 20 years but the flame was recently lit anew when Twitter and Facebook squelched a New York Post article exposing Hunter Biden raking in millions off his fathers name, just days before the election.

So I’m reading the article about Conservative Tree House getting kicked off WordPress when I read they had between “500K and a million visitors a day“! A blog has a million visitors a day?? That’s incredible. So I go see the site to find out what wonders await me. Nothing. Its as lame as it gets. You’re getting over a half million visitors a day and you can’t hire a lawyer? (it also occurred to me just now that their should be available to conservative blogs membership in a legal defense fund for when we get unjustly kicked off)

The blog has a couple of posts on the situation. The initial notification from WordPress was that their blog was “incompatible” with WordPress. Pressed on this, WordPress came back and said they had called for “violence“. They and I are both trying to figure out where that came from. I find it immensely ironic in that the banning of “conservatives” has really been ratcheted up since The Rise of Trump, when really what he is about is populism/nationalism.

Because Big Tech has no problem at all with conservatives such as Bill Kristol, National Review and a host of others. Its populism they have a problem with. Its no wonder we could host hearings until the cows come home and never solve anything. We can’t even correctly identify the problem.
