Cities obscure the glory of the world all around us and turn men inward to focus on themselves. Only in nature, can we look outward and get a glimpse of God’s handiwork, which is our playground and medicine for our souls.

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.” ~ John Muir

“I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in.” ~ George Washington Carver

They’re Just Like Us…Apparently

He was a person of authority: a county court judge. He was the president of an organization that organized the interaction of mentally ill drag queens and children. He is a gay man and an adoptive father. He is a pedophile. This is the story of Brett Blomme and it is disgusting on so many levels. It occurs far more often than we are led to believe. (Planned Parenthood also endorsed Blomme for his position on the court; not surprising that another child-hating organization pushed this man on society).

The media and gay lobby groups hide the facts: homosexual men abuse children at an astronomically higher rate than heterosexual men do. And it’s sad that as a society we allow it to continue under the guise of progressive ideals. As Vox Day has noted from the research, “homosexual pedophiles are 14 times more likely to be caught abusing boys than heterosexual pedophiles are caught abusing girls.” And this is why traditional societies have always sought to keep homosexuals away from children: because they actually cared about their well-being. Now we allow gay parents to adopt and drag queens to read to them all in the name of “wokeness,” degeneracy, and a desire to destroy the foundational mores of Western civilization.

Child abuse is horrific. It is almost axiomatic that abused children become the next generation of abusers. It is a sad and alarming part of humanity that child sexual abuse even exists; but this is the nature of man. Statistics show that those who turn out to be gay or lesbian were 3 times more likely to be abused as children. The sickness is perpetuated generation after generation and supposed “good people” stand by and cheer it on; whether as visible bystanders at a vile “pride parade” or as those who passively embrace the new sexual orthodoxy for fear of appearing intolerant. Tolerance of evil has never been a virtue in a strong and prosperous society.

No, this does not mean that all those who call themselves gay or lesbian will mistreat children or have a propensity towards pedophilia. But a greater number of them do and that should frighten us when considering the well-being of children in society. As they continue to seek positions of power, like judgeships, we will see a once strong society erode, while perversions are celebrated.

Covid19 And Government Incompetence

Leave a reply

Ronald Reagan once quipped, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” As a man who valued personal liberty over government interference in our lives, Reagan’s joke is funny because it’s true. There has not been a more revealing period in modern history that exposes the utter ineptitude of the monstrous, bureaucratic government, that seeks to rule over every facet of our lives, and their absolute disregard for the well-being of those they govern.

Justin Trudeau is easily the worst leader in Canadian history and it’s hard to determine if it’s just sheer incompetence that defines him, or an evil lust for power. His inexplicable handling, rather bungling, of the Covid19 pandemic has destroyed the lives and livelihoods of millions of Canadians. He and his government have spread fear and panic across a nation and used lockdowns to destroy the Canadian economy; and most of the destruction has yet to be felt. He has burdened future generations with his blunders.

The face of incompetence? Or evil? Or both?

Some may feel this criticism is too harsh; that Trudeau was just trying to protect the citizens under his charge. Only someone incredibly naive or ill-informed could believe this. Over and over Trudeau said he was following the “science”; the favourite slogan of those who neither understand science, nor care about what it actually is. Let’s be clear: those that “followed the science” during this pandemic were wrong at every turn and used the word “science” to silence dissent against their arcane decisions. Dr. Anthony Fauci in the US was so wrong that I think he should be criminally charged for negligence and dereliction of duty. We can’t have men cause so much harm and go unpunished. Our leaders should have followed the math: the numbers that revealed the true state of the emergency and the exaggerated response to a virus that really isn’t that deadly at all.

Let’s look at the official 2020 Canadian statistics regarding Covid19: click here for the data. What do they reveal? Here are the highlights:

Canadian population: 37,742,154
Total Covid deaths: 19,328
LTC covid deaths: 15,849
Gen. Pop. covid deaths: 3,479

The most revealing stat of all: out of a population of over 37 million people, 3,479 people died of Covid19 who were not in long-term care facilities. We knew from the beginning that the elderly (over 80) were the most vulnerable to this virus. Yes, every death is tragic and a painful loss for someone. But only 3,479 people (outside of long-term care facilities) died from a virus that has been portrayed by the government and the media as the modern day Black Death. Our government officials shut down the entire Canadian economy, destroyed businesses, caused massive unemployment, ruined industries, depleted billions in individual savings, and ballooned the national debt, for a disease with a death rate amongst a non-LTC population of 0.00922%. This is so infinitesimally small that it’s hard to understand how these governmental decisions could be viewed as anything other than diabolical; as decisions meant to harm most of us. The end result of all this will be more reliance on government resources by a greater number of people and a greater dependence on their “benevolence” for our well-being. The Chinese Virus has made government more powerful, more necessary for many, and an evermore presence in our lives.

Governments are the enemy of freedom and liberty, by definition. What they have perpetuated on their citizenries through their response to Covid19 is nothing short of evil; and that’s being kind. We should have protected the elderly and vulnerable amongst us and let the young and healthy go to work, go to school, run their businesses, and live their lives as normal. Our leaders lied to us about the spread of the virus, about the deadliness of the virus, and are now foisting upon us an untested vaccine as the only way to return to normal. It can’t be any more clear how much they hate us, how much they hate the greatness of Western civilization, and despise the thought of personal liberty and freedom.

As the last light of day disappears in Monument Valley, Arizona.

Darkness is coming. Cultural, institutional, and moral decay can be seen everywhere. The progressive mind virus is infecting, and adversely affecting, almost everyone and everything. We can only hope to withstand the terror that comes with the darkness of night, so that we may see the first light of morning. Only Light and Truth can save us from what’s coming.

2020

If the year 2020 has taught us anything, it is that evil is real, and everywhere. It no longer hides in the shadows pulling strings from afar, but has been exposed by the light and been laid bare for all to see. Evil is indeed everywhere, and it resides resolutely in the hearts of wicked men. We have seen evil exposed and our way of life has begun to collapse under the weight of it.

We saw the Chinese Communist Party release a virus onto the world, most likely on purpose, that killed millions, and crushed the world economy. This was an act of war in order to secure world dominance; and it is working as the US, and other Western nations, collapse economically because of it. They did not care to alert the world to the problem, but hid it and let it spread. They lied, and thousands died.

We have seen the evil of the worlds’ Central Banks and the policies they have implemented to devalue our assets and make life harder for 99% of the population. The US Federal Reserve has printed 35% of all US money in circulation in the last year alone. This serves to enrich the elite and impoverish the middle class. They have created financial problems that they cannot solve and by devaluing all assets through the printing of more money they ensure the eventual collapse of the economy and incredible coming hardships that will be felt by all. They have refused to do what is right and in the best interests of the people, and have guaranteed an economic disaster in the near future.

We have seen people use the word “science” as if they know what they’re talking about and give their point of view an air of authority. Science that works is called engineering. What is purported to be science in our day is scientism; more akin to a religious belief system than a truthful and fact-based enterprise, used to keep people subservient and in line. Covid19 and the universal Climate Change hoax are two such uses of bad science to scare people and strip the wealth of nations for the benefit of the very few. It is not even debatable at this point as the evidence is everywhere.

We have seen the evil of “scientists” and medical professionals as they make proclamation after proclamation about Covid19 that ended up being anything but scientific, and dead wrong. The advice they have given and the recommendations they have made have destroyed the lives of millions of people; both emotionally through fear, and financially through the elimination of jobs and businesses. Doctors should be our most trusted professionals and yet when politics enters the arena it corrupts everything it touches. The World Health Organization personified this corruption in the early stages of the pandemic when they ran cover for the Communist Chinese Party and told us there was very little to worry about. Their mouthpiece in the US, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has been wrong about almost everything. It is evil to play with the lives of those that trust you. And it’s just as evil not to hold these men accountable for their actions.

We have seen the continued promotion of diversity as some great virtue when in reality it helps to destroy social cohesion, trust in populations, and Western civilization as a whole. The greater the diversity in a population, the greater the conflict in that population. This is an axiomatic truth with the evidence plainly seen. Basing decisions on the immutable characteristics of a person like skin colour, gender, or orientation, rather than on merit or the character of the individual, will serve to promote mediocrity and the slow disintegration of our nations. A house divided against itself by diversity and her proponents, cannot stand.

We have seen the rise of the “woke leftist” that is without a doubt the dumbest, the ugliest, and the most delusional demographic in society today. They are embodied by BLM, Antifa, the Vegan movement, and 20+ year old females who cry about the many faux injustices they perceive in the world. They are lazy malcontents who blame the unhappiness in their own lives on a host of externalities around them rather than on their many, and continuing, poor life choices. Their evil manifests itself in the narcissism of blaming others for their circumstances and not taking any personal responsibility for making the world better on an individual basis. They are selfish and ungrateful and they live miserable lives because of it and want those around them to suffer as well.

We have seen the evil of censorship by the media and big tech companies. The concept of “free speech” has always been a lie and I can no longer support the notion. The Berkeley liberals of the 1960’s agitated on campuses for free speech and all we got for that was ubiquitous porn and the development of hate speech laws which are antithetical to free speech and used as a bludgeon to silence the opinions of those with whom they disagree. Free speech in society is a myth and we have seen the evil of the big tech companies shutting down and de-platforming those who do not adhere to the approved narrative. When the open public square is no longer a place where people can express themselves freely, or where good opinions can act as a disinfectant for the bad, then we have created an environment in which evil can flourish and multiply.

2020 is a year that everyone is ready to forget. Sadly, 2020 is only the beginning in what may be a long decline and the end to our freedoms and independent way of life. We have allowed evil to percolate below the surface for far too long and we are now reaping what we have sown. We have allowed sex-trafficking, drug abuse, alcoholism, abortion, porn, greed, to name but a few, to proceed unabated over the past decades so no one should be surprised as we watch the walls of society crumble around us. It will not be long before all that we knew and loved will be in ruin.

People are living lives of loneliness and despair. They have lost hope in a world that is leaving them behind. They have been betrayed by those entrusted to care for them. They have been vilified for wanting to raise families and live simple lives. We have watched as the evil and ugly has replaced the virtuous and beautiful. There is only one sure Hope in this world that provides solace amongst the turmoil, and only by trusting that Hope can one be free from the prolific evil and tyranny of men. Evil is here, but it is not eternal. Thank God for that.

Declining Female Happiness

Leave a reply

An interesting paper was published a few years ago that outlines what appears to be a long and sullen trend tracking alongside many female advancements: a marked decline in overall female happiness. If we look at the data and the lives of women all around us, we have to ask if Feminism has helped or hurt women over the past few decades. The answer is not as clear cut as many would have us believe. The whole paper can be read here but I will extract the salient point. Stevenson and Wolfers write:

By most objective measures the lives of women in the United States have improved dramatically over the past 35 years. Moreover, women believe that their lives are better; in recent polls asking about changes in the status of women over the past 25 or 50 years, around four in five adults state that the overall status of women in the U.S. has gotten better (and the remaining respondents break two-for-one towards “stayed the same” over “worse”). Additionally, the 1999 Virginia Slims Poll found that 72% of women believe that “women having more choices in society today gives women more opportunities to be happy” while only 39% thought that having more choices “makes life more complicated for women.” Finally, women today are more likely than men to believe that their opportunities to succeed exceed those of their parents.

Yet trends in self-reported subjective well-being indicate that women are less happy today than they were in the 1970s. This finding of a decline in women’s well-being, both absolutely and relatively to that of men, raises questions about whether modern social constructs have made women worse off, or alternatively about the interpretability of subjective well-being data analyzed over long-time periods. In 1974, Richard Easterlin pointed to a related puzzle—as countries got wealthier there was little evidence that their populations got happier, despite the existence of a robust relationship between income and well-being in both individual data and across countries.

The panacea that Feminism promised, while being socially rewarding for some, has not manifested itself in a broad increase in female happiness over time, but rather, a decline; and a decline that has seen a massive increase in the use of antidepressants and alcohol to cope with all the “promised benefits” of this new “equality.” Men and women are different, despite that the social engineers tell us otherwise. Men and women have complementary roles and dispositions yet the egalitarians will continue to experiment with the lives of women until their relative happiness pales in comparison to what it once was. It has almost become axiomatic that if an academic posits great improvements through radical changes, they will almost always be proven wrong over time. Let this decline in female happiness serve as Exhibit A, and it should be laid at the feet of Feminists the world over who have made women more miserable than they once were.

Random Thoughts #8

Leave a reply

1) It would appear that another study shows the link between having tattoos and mental illness in those who ink themselves. As I said here, for many (not all), it is an outside sign of inner turmoil.

2) Women are now heavier drinkers than men. Feminism has served to masculinize women. Women are now suffering greater rates of depression than ever before (around 20%) and they are entertaining themselves with a depressant (alcohol) at an ever greater rate. Their “fun” is hurting them. Modern society is breaking women.

3) The barbarians who work in abortion clinics carry out almost a satanic level of evil, including this doctor who use to cut the vocal chords of the “fetus” so she wouldn’t have to hear the baby scream. We are nearing civilizational collapse when the pro-abortion crowd is callous and unmoved by the gruesome horror they support and champion.

4) The progressive cult has enacted a new law in order to protect pedophiles. Evil never happens all at once. It creeps in slowly and decays a society over time. They’re now brazenly open about it. Never, and I mean never, believe a liberal or progressive when they talk about protecting children. The exact opposite is always true. Why do they want to normalize pedophilia? Watch. Progressives never want to protect children.

5) Just when you thought progressives couldn’t get any more depraved, “celebrity” Ali Wentworth thinks it’s a great idea to watch porn with your kids; even though study after study shows that watching porn leads to less enjoyment of real sex. No, it’s not about perverting or indoctrinating our children at all; no, they “care” about kids too much for that to be true!

6) This cannot be overstated or simply stated enough: leftists, progressives, and social justice warriors or advocates, are mentally ill, and suffer from mental problems at a far greater rate than conservatives. Oh gosh, I wonder why? It’s almost like the things they stand for and advocate have a tremendous negative effect on their psyches and souls.

7) The Climate Change hoax is exactly that. It is a way for governments to control people and extract their resources after engineering a doomsday scenario into the minds of the population. Leftist Michael Moore took a lot of heat for exposing the hypocrisy within this movement. This documentary is well worth watching to learn about what is actually happening and being perpetuated by the climate cult.

(Leftists got the whole documentary removed because of an 8 second copyright infringement but here is a lengthy overview).

8) The US election is just 5 days away. America is broken and cannot be fixed. In the end, it matters not who wins. It has been financially ruined and will not recover. It is no longer a discussion between left and right, but viewing the other side as evil, and that they must be crushed by gaining power over them at all costs. In 5 days, America will descend into chaos taking the world with it. A house divided cannot stand; America is finished.

Coming Predictions

Leave a reply

As the 2020 US Presidential nears, here are a few predictions as to what I think will unfold over the next several months.

1) The Presidential Debates will not happen. There are three scheduled debates with the first one two weeks away. The Democrats cannot let Biden wander outside his written notes and teleprompters. They will come up with an excuse. There will be no debates.

2) Trump will win re-election on Nov 3rd in a landslide; by a huge margin. The Democrats will not concede and drag this through the courts until they “win”; or find enough fake votes to declare victory. If there is no decision by Jan 20th, Nancy Pelosi becomes President. It will be litigated and the Democrats will not accept a loss under any circumstances.

3) On Nov 4th, the US will descend into chaos. Rioters will hit the streets unlike anything the US has seen so far. It will be calamity and chaos. That’s what the Dems/Marxists want. This will continue the destruction of the US as a nation.

4) The ultimate goal is the destruction of the United States as a land of liberty and personal freedom. This will happen. There will be war in the next decade and continued unrest. Eventually the US will be forced to break up into 5-10 smaller regions.

I hope I’m wrong on some of these. We’ll revisit these down the road.

An Evil World

Leave a reply

Listen to this 3 minute audio clip. It is called Evil by Barry Michels (with the backing music by Buckethead).

Here is the poem referenced by William Butler Yeats called The Second Coming.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;

Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out

When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi

Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,

A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,

Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it

Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again; but now I know

That twenty centuries of stony sleep

Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Yeats wrote this at the end of WWI during the Spanish Flu pandemic in which his pregnant wife was taken gravely ill. He lamented the world he saw around him, as many of us do today, and the evil that pervades so much of it. Look at how things have changed so rapidly over the past year or two and how evil has flourished:

We have a Chinese Virus pandemic, unleashed on the world, that has people living in crippling fear while the government closes down businesses and causes mass unemployment; making people more reliant on the State for their wellbeing. We have the race hustlers and domestic terrorist group, Black Lives Matter, running rampant through streets burning down businesses, beating and killing people, and spreading lies that the gullible and unintelligent help spread. We have progressives trying to ‘cancel’ people for ‘thought crimes’ when they do not share their wretched view of the world.

You are no longer allowed to have a different opinion. They will come for you. They will come for anyone who does not believe the way they do. They are the fascists and we are watching the tyranny of the left wash over the Western world; the same tyranny that made the 20th century the most bloody in human history. Evil takes many forms, but none more heinous than those forms which seek to dehumanize others. Evil is on the march, and is approaching ever so quickly.

We have a finite time here. Stand up to evil; do not fear it. Abhor those who seek to control you and your thoughts. Turn off the media. Don’t allow your mind to be taken captive. Don’t fall for things like ‘climate change’, ‘pandemics’, ‘racism’, or a host of other shams that seek to control peoples’ lives on a massive scale. The purveyors of these schemes are evil. As Michels says at the end, “We must learn to respond to evil, without becoming evil.” It’s also been said, ‘See that you walk prudently through this life, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, for the days are evil.’ Seek to be the light in a dark place; walk prudently, yet firmly; and do not compromise with evil.

🤡 Welcome To Clown World 🤡

Leave a reply

We no longer live in a rational world. The progressive mind virus has spread and made people believe and advocate for irrational things. The clowns have taken over the circus. The logical, strong, and sane, that built a civilization that raised more people out of poverty than any other before it, have been replaced by the unstable, weak, and violent societal misfits who look to destroy all that is good, beautiful, and virtuous.

Over the past couple of weeks these are some of the things I’ve stumbled across. We are a society that elevates the mentally ill as innovative and edgy, and the perverse as empowered and normal. We now call evil, good; and good, evil. To wit:

Exhibit A – They want us to lift up the ugly and mentally unstable as beautiful and powerful. They have inverted what is good, beautiful, and true. They call those things that are ugly and grotesque, beautiful. They are trying to normalize those things that are hideous and monstrous.

Exhibit B – They blur the lines; every line. They try and tell us that gender is a social construct; that the categories of male and female no longer exist. Men are women and women are men. They normalize a lie and celebrate weak, ill, effete men; men who are not men in any meaningful sense at all. The lesbian writer and intellectual, Camille Paglia, has pointed out that the societal acceptance of androgyny (transgenderism) has historically been one of the final signs of a civilization on the verge of collapse. We are witnessing the collapse in real time.

Exhibit C – Transpeople are mentally ill. This is not normal. The literature for decades has shown as much. They are not stable or rational enough to wield power as this person’s decision above shows. We need to advocate for mental health services for transpeople to help them. If we truly cared about them we would try to help them, not reinforce their mental illness.

Exhibit D – The ultimate goal of the Leftists is the sexualization of children in order to normalize certain types of pedo behaviour. No child needs to hear that a certain character is gay; kids don’t watch cartoons with any thought towards sexuality. But the perverts in charge need to introduce sexuality at younger and younger ages in order to groom children for earlier and earlier sexual activity. This goes on in almost every sphere of life, with Sex-Ed curriculums being one of the first entry points in the sexual grooming of children.

Exhibit E – If you can control the words people say, you can control their thoughts and actions. Removing the word ‘master’ as a descriptor from words like ‘sommelier’ and ‘bedroom’ is just another incremental move in controlling what people can say and think. Calling someone a Master in a certain activity is to laud their achievement; it does not invoke the imagery of slavery. Do not allow your thoughts to be controlled.

Exhibit F – They further push to normalize the absurd; the biologically impossible. They do not want what’s best for children. For if they did, they would wholly reject same sex adoption because of the far poorer outcomes for children in these arrangements. If we really cared about children we would protect them from this. Society does not care. At all.

Exhibit G – The racism game is a lucrative one. Shake down corporations unless they bend to your every whim. It’s now racist to want whiter teeth. There isn’t a person on the planet who ever thought that whitening their teeth had sinister undertones; until 2020 of course. This will do nothing; less than nothing, to solve the fictitious problem of racism.

Exhibit H – Why does one need to celebrate their sexuality if it is a normal disposition? Why can’t they just go about their lives and live quietly and peacefully the way they want? Heterosexuals do not celebrate their heterosexuality because it is the biological default position of humanity. Only when you try and normalize the aberrant do you have to celebrate it as if it was normal. Do not be fooled. (They want allies; an ally. Put those words together, it’s no coincidence that they chose those words).

Exhibit I – They are not the future. They are fragile, weak, and a reproductive dead end. Hard times will come and this mind virus will die. This is the result of a decadent society that fails to keep boundaries around people and society that will prosper them. They have tried to normalize this. No civilization will survive with people who are so inwardly destructive.

They are Leftists, Progressives, Marxists. They are driven by a deep self-loathing and a lust to destroy that which is good and beautiful and true. They see themselves as defective and do their best to normalize their perverse desires and destroy that which is normal. They hate that others are happy and live productive lives so they set about to make others as miserable as they are. These people are evil; and we should never apologize or bow to the mob.

Sadly, civil war along ideological lines is coming. I just hope there are enough strong men able to do what is necessary.

Oh Canada…

The once great nation of Canada is finished. It is over. It will never again flourish like it once did. Our politicians are corrupt. Our laws are evil. Most of our citizens are vapid and useless. Most of our non-citizens care nothing for this country and seek to take without giving back. We celebrate evil and denigrate the good. Those things that once made us great are forgotten by most, and ridiculed by the new ruling class. The decline is now accelerating rapidly. Our eventual fall cannot be undone. We are financially and morally bankrupt. Canada is a nation that is dead, and the next of kin have not yet been notified.

When a nation does not abide its heritage and tradition, it ceases to be great.

When a nation does not uphold that which is good, beautiful, and true, it becomes irrelevant, ugly, and grotesque.

When a nation imports the Third World, it becomes the Third World.

When a nation loathes itself, its citizens loathe it too.

When a nation favours some inhabitants over those that built her, it will falter and fail.

When a nation tolerates evil in its midst, it cannot stand.

We have a Prime Minister who defines the word incompetency. Justin Trudeau declared Canada the world’s first “postnational nation” with no core identity back in 2015. By that he means we have no culture worth defending; that the traditions that made us great are not worth preserving. He is hell-bent on the dismantling of this country and its heritage. It is 2020 and the destruction is well under way. Canada is finished.

Happy Canada Day to all.

Black Lives Matter And Race

Leave a reply

George Floyd and Tony Timpa. The horrible murder of the former has set the US on fire, but no one has heard the name of the latter. Both men were unarmed and murdered by police in the exact same way. Tony Timpa was white, so no one cared. It did not suit the fake narrative of police brutality against blacks in America that groups like Black Lives Matter (BLM) perpetuate to a nation of morons who do not care about facts; a group of useful idiots that unwittingly give them power and control. Black lives do matter; that is unquestionable. They are human beings who bear the image of God. But not ALL black lives matter to BLM; they are selective in the cases they use for their race-baiting propaganda and agitation. They are the modern day incarnation of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson; the pre-eminent race-hustlers of this generation.

A few nights ago, David Dorn, a retired black police captain, was gunned down in the riots for trying to stop black looters from stealing TV’s. (WARNING: the video is graphic). His name was not mentioned on CNN, MSNBC, or by any spokesperson for the BLM movement. Black lives matter, but not ALL black lives matter. David Dorn’s murder does not fit the narrative of racism and black persecution. Neither do any of the 23 murdered in 84 shootings in Chicago over the previous weekend; just another regular weekend in the windy city. These lives DO NOT matter to BLM because BLM is an organization of race-peddlers and race-baiters who do not really care about the real issues facing the black community. They are a political organization out for power and control using black grievances as their currency.

By watching all the unintelligent and emotional virtue signallers on social media this past week, it is easy to see how they are so easily manipulated into carrying water for groups like BLM. They throw around terms like “white privilege”, “systemic racism”, “white supremacist”, and “oppression”, without having a single clue about their meanings or origins (For the record, Privilege Theory and Systemic Racism are both myths derived from Marxist ideology and used to guilt people and remove their power. A separate article will appear on that in the future). Young, white, liberal millennials are perhaps the dumbest demographic on planet earth and their posts on social media often border on the comical: “If you don’t post a black square on Instagram it’s because you’re a racist;” “here’s a list of Netflix movies to watch to educate yourself on racism,” etc. They are devoid of knowledge and ignorant of the topic, yet need to virtue signal online for social credit and standing amongst their peers. They would never think to read a book by Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams, two black economists who have written extensively on this issue, and many others, for over 40 years, and present the entirety of the picture of the challenges facing the black community. Millennials aren’t interested in learning, only signalling their virtue to their followers.

Some facts to consider:

–Blacks kill more blacks than whites kill blacks. Blacks kill more whites than whites kill whites. And blacks kill more whites than whites kill blacks. FBI crime stats located here.

–Blacks make up 13% of the US population and commit 53% of all murders and 60% of all robberies.

–In 2019, 1004 people were killed by cops; 235 were black. 41 of the 1004 were unarmed. 19 of those were white, and 9 were black.

–In 2018, there were 7,407 black homicide victims; 70% of those were killed by blacks. Assuming a comparable number for 2019, that would mean those 9 unarmed blacks killed by cops represents only 0.1% of all black murder victims.

–Since 2015, the number of unarmed black men killed by cops has fallen to less than 10 per year.

–Over the past two years, more cops have been killed by blacks than unarmed blacks by cops.

–A cop is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black man than an unarmed black man is to be killed by a cop. Read that one again.

–Black people get killed by cops at a lower rate than whites.

Until BLM addresses these facts and statistics, we can only conclude that they don’t really care about ALL black lives; only those lives they can use to wield for political power. The predominant narrative of overwhelming violence towards blacks by the police force, pushed by BLM and the media, is not supported by the data and is objectively false. That does not mean that injustices has never happened; it just doesn’t happen at the rate we are told to believe.

On the day of his death, George Floyd was pulled over for using counterfeit money (stealing), which is a crime. His autopsy revealed he had both meth and fentanyl in his system and was driving under the influence at the time; also a crime. Previous to this, he was in jail four separate times; the last time for pointing a gun at the belly of a pregnant woman during a home invasion. If he obeyed the law, the interaction would not have taken place. Stealing should not warrant a “death penalty” but living as a law abiding citizen with minimal police interaction will ensure this doesn’t happen to you. People do not want to talk about the high rate of black crime that leads to these police interactions.

If George Floyd was white, would anyone have cared? The answer is clearly no. This reaction, and the riots than ensued, were a function of the racism narrative pushed by the media and hate groups like BLM. There is not a “pandemic” of police violence towards blacks. The data in no way supports that assertion.

Study after study has been done and the results are always the same. If a person completes high school, gets a full time job, and does not have a child out of wedlock, they have a 98% percent chance on NOT living in poverty; this occurs across all racial lines. That is the simple key to life success. But sadly, in the black community, that is not the reality. In the 1950’s, the black family was more intact than white families. Then something changed. Today, 77% of black kids are born out of wedlock and the incidence of single-motherhood is alarming and crippling to good life outcomes for their children. Fatherlessness is the pandemic affecting the black community, and no one wants to talk about it.

In 2008, Barack Obama gave a speech in a church on Father’s Day. He could not utter these words today for these words are now considered “racist”. No one wants to hear and reflect on the truth. He said in part:

But if we are honest with ourselves, we’ll admit that what too many fathers also are is missing — missing from too many lives and too many homes. They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it.

You and I know how true this is in the African-American community. We know that more than half of all black children live in single-parent households, a number that has doubled — doubled — since we were children. We know the statistics — that children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison. They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home or become teenage parents themselves. And the foundations of our community are weaker because of it.

How many times in the last year has this city lost a child at the hands of another child? How many times have our hearts stopped in the middle of the night with the sound of a gunshot or a siren? How many teenagers have we seen hanging around on street corners when they should be sitting in a classroom? How many are sitting in prison when they should be working, or at least looking for a job? How many in this generation are we willing to lose to poverty or violence or addiction? How many?

Yes, we need more cops on the street. Yes, we need fewer guns in the hands of people who shouldn’t have them. Yes, we need more money for our schools, and more outstanding teachers in the classroom, and more after-school programs for our children. Yes, we need more jobs and more job training and more opportunity in our communities.

But we also need families to raise our children. We need fathers to realize that responsibility does not end at conception. We need them to realize that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a child — it’s the courage to raise one.

Wise words indeed. If black lives really mattered to BLM, they would stop the nonsense about police violence and racism and look to heal their community morally from within. It all starts with the family. Improve this first and the problems of crime and poverty will begin to disappear.

Both blacks and whites face challenges; some similar and some different. Life isn’t easy nor is it fair to anyone. No one man is more valuable than another because of certain immutable traits they were born with. To say the black man in inferior or that all white men are racists is the very definition of racism. We should treat everyone with kindness and respect; no matter our differences. We should look to help those around us whose lives are difficult. Stop the name calling. Stop the sloganeering. Stop the virtue signalling. Stop the race-baiting. Look to help those less fortunate, no matter the colour of their skin. It’s really that simple.

This is a must watch:

The Covid Calamity And What China Has Done To The World

Leave a reply

We are now two months into the near global lockdown because of the new Chinese virus, now called Covid-19, and I don’t think the average person realizes what a watershed moment this is for the world. Just the other day, the mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, announced his city would continue in lockdown until July 31st, despite having only 1700 deaths and near empty hospitals as of this writing. Here in Canada, the moron in charge (and I say that as politely as I can), Justin Trudeau, has brought Canada to a stand still and has told us that life will never be the same until we find a cure for this disease. “We will not be coming back to our former normal situation; we can’t do that until we have developed a vaccine and that could take 12 to 18 months,” Trudeau has said. “We don’t exactly know how long — we hope it’s earlier rather than later.” Despite not having found cures for diseases like cancer, diabetes, other corona viruses like SARS and MERS, and a host of others, somehow this flu-like ailment is being seen as the pale horse of the apocalypse. It is an overreaction we will never recover from.

I cannot express the anger I feel over what is happening and what those in charge are doing to the people they govern. The policies they are enacting around this “pandemic” are clearly no longer for our protection, but an authoritarian power grab to take away some of our basic freedoms and rights that make us more reliable on the ‘benevolence’ of those who rule over us. These idiots in charge will never suffer the ill affects of the policies they have enacted. They have used fear as a bludgeon to control the masses and increase our dependence upon the state. The world will never be the same again, and this is no exaggeration. It will only get worse from here if we stay on the same destructive path we are on.

President Trump has rightly pointed out from the beginning of his presidency that China is the global enemy when it comes to trade and dishonest practices. They are liars. A communist country can never be trusted because the reputation of the state is always placed above the health and well-being of its citizens. The Trump trade war took its toll on the Chinese economy so they retaliated to crush the global economies of unsuspecting countries by allowing this virus to spread before it told the world. How is it that the virus barely spread to Beijing and Shanghai, China’s two most populous cities, but engulfed the globe in a month? How did it so easily travel around the world yet be contained so quickly within China’s own borders? They did this purposely and with sinister intent to exert global dominance over their rivals which has been the stated goal of China for decades. This was done on purpose, and with malice, by the Chinese government, and the world needs to retaliate. They need to suffer punitive damages for the lives they’ve taken, the poverty they have created, and the trillions in wealth they have destroyed.

This is the evil of communism plainly seen: the reputation of the State is placed over the well-being of its citizens. China allowed the virus to escape from their own virology lab in Wuhan and with the help of the corrupt World Health Organization (WHO), they kept it a secret and allowed it to spread. I did not believe for one second that this started by some random guy eating a bat in a wet market in Wuhan; the Chinese lied about this virus from the beginning. (You can be certain of one thing in this world: whatever the official story is you are being told by any government or their willing accomplices, the media, rest assured the truth is always something other than what you are being told. The governments and media of this world are evil beyond our imaginations and they lie to us daily). There must be punitive measures taken against China in order to repay the trillions of dollars lost due to their dishonesty. China did this on purpose. It came out of their lab and they let it spread. They did this to cripple world economies; to cripple the US economy in particular, so they could become the dominant global power. This was a covert act of war; and this will lead to a future conflict between China and the US.

The reaction of Western nations to this virus is mystifying. Day after day we are told to “follow the science” for what we should be doing. But we are doing anything but. We were told that we needed to stay home to “flatten the curve” and now that that has occurred the goal posts have been moved and we are told we need to stay home until we find a cure. This is absurd on every level and fear is the tool they are wielding to make this happen. These “scientists” have been incompetent and wrong from the beginning. They told us millions would die if we didn’t social distance, yet countries like Sweden that didn’t social distance experienced the same rate of infection and death as those that did. They told us not to wear face masks because they weren’t effective, and now they want us to wear face masks everywhere. They told us you could easily catch it in the air, yet we now know now that over two thirds of all cases have occurred by being locked down with someone infected. They have told us staying in is good for our health when every doctor knows staying in is detrimental to our immune systems needed to fight off infections like this. They told us we needed thousands and thousands of ventilators in order to save lives and now we know that over 80% of the people who went on ventilators died because their bodies gave up fighting and relied on the machine. NY State, under Anthony Cuomo, sent recovering victims back into nursing homes because they thought it was safe. This led to the most deaths anywhere in the US. It was a fatal error in judgment. On almost every recommendation they have been wrong, deadly wrong.

We are a society that has put our faith and trust in “scientists” when this discipline is as incompetent and untrustworthy as any other. Teresa Tam, the top health official in Canada, and also a Chinese national and board member of the WHO, was told on January 15th that the virus could spread from human to human, but she kept this information from the Canadian people to protect China and “stop the spread of anti-Chinese bigotry.” On January 20th, she publicly stated that there was no reason for us to panic over the coronavirus. She needs to be fired and jailed; or at a minimum, deported. The combination of evil and incompetent are not something a society can withstand and still prosper; we need to root it out wherever it exists.

There are sinister men behind the continuance of this lockdown. They are not doing it for the good of the people. The death rate from this Chinese flu is around 0.1%; and the global number of deaths is far less than the 500,000-600,000 people that die from the flu every year. Yet, we are told to stay indoors while our economies crash and businesses and jobs are lost for good. There has already been a spike in suicides and overdose deaths, and this is just the beginning as grief, despair, and hopelessness overtake many. Those ordering the lockdown will never suffer from its adverse affects. We have leaders who, through their actions, are telling us they hate us and that are freedoms are no longer ours. ‘Obey your masters‘ or else. If anyone thinks this is an exaggeration let’s talk again in a year.

“The evil that men do, lives on and on.” (Bruce Dickinson)

This pandemic had barely started and men like Bill Gates (who is not a doctor; not a scientist; is unelected; yet thinks he is here to save the world from disease), Anthony Fauci, and Tedros Adhanom of the WHO were calling for global vaccinations before life could return to normal. “Things will not get back to truly normal until we have a vaccine that has gotten out to, basically, the entire world,” Gates said in an interview. Now, for anyone who has been paying attention, Gates’ personal investments and “charitable foundation” stands to make billions from global vaccines, despite the damage they have caused around the globe (see his work in Africa and India to start). He has invested heavily in the big pharmaceutical companies and has pushed their drugs for two decades now. These are not the actions of someone who cares about the health of people. (He also funds abortions in Africa as part of his stated goal of controlling population growth there, but that is a different discussion). Gates has also stated that everyone will need to carry a vaccination card (or get a quantum tattoo which can hold this information) in order to attend things like concerts or sporting events in the future. This is the ushering in of the authoritarian state using fear and manipulation.

The ultimate endgame of this lockdown is to take away our freedoms and exert greater control over our lives; even more people will now be reliant on government handouts for basic things like food and shelter. Keeping the lockdown going will lead to endless hardships for people. There will be an increase in other diseases, in suicides, and drug overdoses; the death count from these other lockdown factors will dwarf the number of people the virus killed. It is perhaps the worst thing that we can do right now and it shows that our government is not really concerned with the welfare of its people if it keeps extending these policies.

What needs to happen from here is simple. All lockdowns must instantly cease and the people who can work must get back to work right away. The elderly can choose to keep themselves out of harms way a little longer if they wish. Businesses must reopen immediately. Justin Trudeau and Teresa Tam must be held accountable for their treasonous betrayal of Canada; they have not acted in the best interests of their citizens and have demanded things that have hurt our country beyond repair. President Trump must fire Anthony Fauci and the head of the CDC for the egregiously horrible advice they have given us and their continuance in pushing the lies and dishonesty of the WHO.

We are told we will never get back to normal and the longer we stay locked down the more true this becomes. I see the coming collapse of the West and other global economies in the next 15-20 years. Hard times are upon us and harder times are coming. Here are a few things things that I think we’ll see to take us further down that path.

-The cold war against China has already begun but we will see an escalation and perhaps a hot war in the future. If China makes moves against Taiwan, which they have talked about in recent weeks, the world will be at war with China.

-Many more will die because of the lockdown and the new levels of poverty that have occurred than from the virus. Poor economic conditions lead to more death. We will not recover from a crashed economy.

-Disease will flourish. Deaths from cancer, diabetes, and other ailments that went undetected during this lockdown will kill many more people than the Chinese virus did. Our leaders know this but ignore it. They don’t care about our health and that is why this lockdown is not about taking care of us.

-Suicides and overdoses will increase with the rise in hopelessness and despair that comes with massive job losses and a shrinking economy.

-Trump will be re-elected by a greater margin than in 2016 as more Americans begin to realize that he is the only candidate that truly cares about America. The recent emergency funding bill put forward by the Democrats showed greater care for prisoners and illegal immigrants; a staunch and necessary Democratic voting block.

-We will see a global requirement for forced vaccines in order to ensure “safety” and “health” when in reality it will cause even more disease and control over people.

-Social Distancing was, and is, nonsense. Societies that didn’t enforce SD guidelines suffered no greater infection rates than those that did. It will continue to be used in order to alienate people further, keep churches from meeting, and generally stop people from interacting.

-We will see a move away from hard currency to a digital currency in order that all purchase activities can be monitored by the government. Add to this the proliferation of 5G technology and the new global Surveillance State will be fully operational. This is all about control.

-Gun confiscations of ordinary citizens will begin and the last vestiges of freedom will become an old-fashioned idea. Welcome to our Brave New World.

I am generally an optimistic person. But when one understands the nature of man and his propensity towards evil in this world, along with how easily we rolled over and allowed our freedoms to evapourate so easily, the authoritarian society now visible on the horizon is almost an inevitable reality. That is what COVID-19 and China has done to the world.

Random Thoughts #7

1) It should come as absolutely no surprise to those who’ve looked at the research but watching porn kills sexual desire for your partner. It actually delivers the opposite of what it promises over the long term: less gratification and ability to function. If the neurotransmitters in our brain are overused our bodies won’t be able to respond to them in the same way in real life.

2) The birth control pill may adversely affect this region of a woman’s brain. New research shows that it may shrink the hypothalamus which is responsible for activities such as appetite, sex drive, mood regulation, body temperature, sleep patterns, and heart rate to name a few. You cannot fool around with your body’s natural state and not think there won’t be a price to pay.

3) The militant gay lobby in the US is evil. A law has now been passed in California where you no longer have to disclose your HIV status to a sexual partner, allowing it to be freely passed along. If anyone thinks this is ok they are equally evil. One’s health status privacy is not more important than the transmission of a potentially deadly disease.

4) It’s going to be an interesting future as we watch all the potheads in failing physical and mental health. New research shows that using marijuana may change the structure of the heart. There is little evidence that cannabis helps mental health. In fact there is little to no evidence that the benefits that potheads tell us their smoking has, are real at all. Don’t ever believe anyone who smokes for any other reason than to get high. They are all clueless. Any health benefit claim they make is either non-existent or a gross overstatement about what it does.

5) For all those who think they can wait to have their kids and enjoy their youth partying just a little longer, it would appear that the gods of biomechanics will have the last laugh. We know that by age 30, a woman has lost 90% of her eggs making pregnancy after 30 that much more difficult. New research now shows that paternal age negatively affects the attractiveness of offspring as men age. So all those men waiting longer to start their families, get ready for some uglier kids!

What Do You Seek?

Leave a reply

Happiness. Everyone talks about it; everyone wants it. It is not a state of being, but a transient moment that we may experience from time to time. It is unattainable as a permanent mental state, and so very few people know how to find it. The message that bombards us constantly is that if only ‘we had this‘ or ‘we looked like that‘ or ‘we had a better job‘ we would be happy. Some of the richest men who lived died miserable and unhappy. Many of those who seem to have it all, with envied fame or unlimited fortune, make a train wreck of their lives, with failed relationships or the abuse of drugs and alcohol. See any Hollywood tabloid for proof.

Do you want to be happy? Stop looking for it. Be content with where you are, with what you have, and strive for improvement in all areas of your life. Read more. Spend less. Practise self-control. Use your time wisely. Remind yourself daily of this: happiness is not in things. It comes from living a simple life full of great, natural experiences and good people. Put away envy; do not yearn for the things that others have; do not wish for another life. But rather, live as one who makes wise decisions; who foregoes immediate gratification and aims for long term contentment. Pursue virtue. Run from vice. Do this, and happiness will occur naturally. You will wonder what to do with the excess.

Strangers by City And Colour

Leave a reply

Dallas Green of City And Colour has penned what I believe to be the best lyric of the last decade in his 2019 song, Strangers. The second verse goes thus:

We look to the heavens above
For advice on our lives,
Searching for God
In the bottoms of bottles
And in strangers’ eyes.
We’re living in desperation,
Drowning in medication,
Lost in the folly of our age.

-Dallas Green, City And Colour

No lyric that I’ve seen, captures better the empty nihilism and pointless pursuits of this current generation, than Strangers. Now, I have no delusions that Green is religious in any meaningful sense so I don’t think he is referencing God, as in a sovereign being. The verse opens with the following metaphor: ‘We look to the heavens above for advice on our lives’; or in other words, in this directionless age, people look everywhere for meaning and purpose. ‘God’ in his usage (Searching for God…) is a search for meaning. They have rejected the traditional mores of generations past and this dismissal of the old modes of guidance has left them empty and wanting, walking a nihilistic path of despair; always searching and never finding.

They look for significance, as is in our nature as humans to do, in places that only serve to strip real meaning from their lives. They search for ‘god‘ or meaning, in the ‘bottom of bottles and in strangers’ eyes‘ which is in alcohol and casual sex. Alcohol is used as a drug to cauterize hearts and minds from despair and hurt, and they think casual sex with near total strangers will fill the void of loneliness in their lives. What they’ve done is assume lust and love are interchangeable; they’ve wanted to feel a real connection with someone and have realized that sex devoid of emotion, while enjoyable in the moment, has left them more lonely than they ever were before. The pursuit of pleasure on its own is a trap; the more pleasure we garner, the greater our need of it grows, and the greater the void we need to fill. Pleasure as a sole/soul pursuit will empty their lives of contentment when it’s divorced from anything meaningful.

People are living lives of desperation and they’ll use all manner of drugs to help themselves cope; from alcohol to illicit drugs that promise a temporary high but deliver them into addiction and harm, to prescription drugs and anti-depressants, which are being used at alarming rates, to cope with the stresses and anxieties of every day life. Their emptiness drives them and they look to fill it with drugs, alcohol, and sex, to alleviate their pain and responsibility, if only for a few hours, only to find they are left more empty than before. And the cycle repeats itself. They have believed the lie that substances can soothe them, that casual sex can make them feel wanted. But they are left used up, lonely, and addicted with no way out of their nihilism. That indeed, is ‘the folly of our age‘ that they are lost in.

Folly is such an apt word to describe how most people live: foolishly with a lack of good sense in how to live a content and full life. They pursue the short term thrill of alcohol, drugs, and sex at the expense of their long term health and mental well-being. They have nothing to believe in, nothing to guide them; they are functional atheists lost and drowning in their own nihilism. Until they put away the substances that enslave them, and live purposeful vibrant lives with direction, and pursue worthy things of value, their folly will continue to keep them in crippling anxiety, fear, and depression. This is an empty and lost generation and I fear it will take some calamitous events to quell the decadence and return us to a way of life filled with meaning and purpose; with joy and contentment which seems in short supply.

How To Live A Good Life: A Letter To Myself

Leave a reply

It is near axiomatic that life is difficult. There is death, illness, suffering, and hardships; then every once in awhile moments of joy and happiness over take us and we remember that life is good, in spite of the trials we may face. All of us will undergo various ups and downs through life; it is intrinsic to the human experience. When we look around at the world we see record numbers suffering from anxiety, depression, loneliness, substance abuse, and chronic laziness. How did we get like this? Why is it so pervasive? The answers are not simple, they are multi-faceted, but ultimately, we as humans make poor choices that affects the quality of our lives. We choose short term gratification over our own long term prosperity. We choose that which is easy over that which is difficult far more often than we should.

We all have regrets in life, and those who with great bravado say they don’t are liars. But that does not mean we can’t change; that we can’t push ourselves in a different direction to improve our lives. Despite the mistakes of our past, we have today to change our habits and move forward to greater contentment and fulfillment in life. The greatest lie many of us believe is that we are stuck in our current situations and there’s no way out. We can always make changes; we can always improve those things that we’ve failed at before.

For years, I’ve thought long and hard about what it takes to live a fulfilled life. From all my reading and experience I’ve put together a list of things I believe will change an individual’s life for the better if they were able to implement them. Some are easy fixes; others will require some real effort and determination to change. If I, as a 54 year old man today, could write a letter to my 18 year old self on how to live, on how to chart out my life ahead, on the things I should prioritize in this one life I’ve been given, this is the advice I would pass along:

1) Tell The Truth – Dishonesty seems to be the default position of almost everyone today. Be honest. Be truthful. Be a man of honour. Even when it’s difficult and to your own self-detriment. The lessons of life can be hard when we diverge from those things that are good, beautiful, and true.

2) Work Hard – Personal gratification comes from hard work and a job well done. It is imperative that you change your mindset around work, and what it is, in order to avoid becoming an incessant complainer about it. Only through work can we understand the concept of value which informs most of the important decisions we have to make. Push through times of laziness for it can become a chronic condition and keep you from your goals.

3) Make Long-Term Goals – Choose your long term goals first, and then determine the short term goals required to get you there. Spend time reflecting on and contemplating who you are, what you want, and the direction you want your life to take. If you are not purposeful in making a plan it makes it far harder for it to materialize.

4) Save your money – Do not spend your money on frivolous things. If you live beyond your means your life will be stressful. We all like nice things, but save until you can afford it. Debt is a hard taskmaster that will keep you enslaved. Money will not “buy you happiness” as they say; but it will give you freedom that many don’t have.

5) Beware of Substances – Alcohol will control you; drugs will ruin you. They will dull you and not allow you to function how you should. They will keep you from being present and experiencing the fullness of life. The illusion of the short term pleasures of being drunk or high are NEVER worth the long term damage that drugs and alcohol will ALWAYS cause. Substances are for the weak and uninteresting who need a crutch to have what they believe is a good time. Be better than average people; demand better of yourself. Be strong and resolute in not allowing this weakness to overcome you.

6) Happiness Is Not A Goal – Do not pursue happiness as an end goal unto itself for it is subjective and unobtainable. Pursue contentment in every facet of life. Happiness is a subjective state of mind that you can never attain and the pursuit will leave you feeling depressed and down when those brief moments pass. Rather, cultivate contentment no matter your station in life at the time. If you aim to be happy all the time you will most certainly miss the mark.

7) Do Not Look For The Praise Of Others – It matters not what others think of you, except those closest friends and family that love and genuinely care for you. If you do things to garner praise, whether in person or online, you will get caught in the cycle of disappointment and depression. Listen to the words and wisdom of those who love and value you. Our value and worth is not determined by what we look like, by our online presence, or by the accolades of strangers.

8) Read More – Reading is the number one thing that will make you more intelligent and interesting as a person. Read books. Read articles. Read in depth to learn, not for entertainment. Avoid social media. Avoid Twitter. Avoid Netflix. Stay away from video games. Or use them sparingly. They are shallow pursuits that will atrophy your brain over time; they will profit you nothing. The old adage “Garbage in, garbage out” is as true today as it ever was. On your deathbed you will never wish you spent more time scrolling on Instagram or watching more shows on Netflix.

9) Manage Your Time – Time is the most precious commodity we have. You have one chance to build your life into something you can be proud of that brings you a level of contentment very few will ever know. Always be on time for everything. Being late is a sign of selfishness where you signal to the other person that your time is more valuable than theirs. It is a reflection on the person you are.

10) Beware The Pleasure Trap – Pursuing pleasure as a goal will ALWAYS leave you feeling empty when it’s gone. It is like eating candy for dinner; it will taste good at the time but will leave you starving and unhealthy over time. Stay away from porn. It rewires your brain and lowers your testosterone. It will eventually destroy your relationships. Pleasure as a sole/soul pursuit will empty your life of contentment and meaning.

11) Invest Your Time In Important Relationships – Determine the people that are most important to you and spend your time investing in their lives, for it will pay more rewarding dividends than any stock. Our relationships matter more than the things we have or what we do. We are social beings who crave the company of others for fulfillment. Those that neglect this lead extremely lonely lives.

12) Give Of Yourself – The most contented people are those who spend their time and resources giving to others. There’s greater joy in giving than in receiving. It will help guard against narcissism and selfishness. Those that are the most mentally healthy are those that give of themselves and keep their focus on the well-being of others.

13) Acquire Real Treasures – True joy and satisfaction is found in people and experiences, never in accumulating “things.” Things will tarnish, rust, break, and deteriorate over time; the joy they bring will be fleeting. Our consumer culture teaches us that we need this or that item to be happy, to be “in” or “cool” in the moment. Look for times, experiences, and people that move your soul to make you appreciate the time we have here.

14) Learn From Your Mistakes – We all make mistakes. Big ones. Small ones. If you do not learn from poor decisions then you have not grown. We all have regrets; even those that say they don’t, are liars. There are things we cannot change and other things we can make right. Be honest with yourself about the things you’ve done, and be better.

15) Do Not Fear Being A Man – And lastly, embrace your masculinity and never compromise your values. The world will call you toxic; they will castigate you as privileged or entitled. Do not care what they say. There is no time or place to entertain the criticisms of the weak and envious. Men are builders, protectors, strong in will, and kind in disposition. Be that man.

This is not a perfect list, nor does the perfect list exist. Life will be a series of tough learning experiences and moments of great joy. Strike a balance in all things, for moderation will keep you on that straight and narrow path of a life well-lived that few will walk.

Neil Peart (1952-2020)

“Suddenly, you were gone; from all the lives you left your make upon.”
-Neil Peart, Afterimage, from Grace Under Pressure

Today the news reported that the legendary drummer from the band Rush, Neil Peart, died from brain cancer. Celebrity deaths don’t usually move me, but this one is different. I have been a fan of Rush since the age of 12 (1977) and they remain my favourite band to this day. I have seen Rush 45 times throughout my life and can easily repeat the cliche that they were the soundtrack to my life. Since the early ’70’s, Rush has had a cult following like no other band and their musical influence over those that came after them cannot be overstated.

Neil was introverted and shy and did not long for the limelight. He suffered through some family tragedies than no man should go through. He was articulate, intelligent, and a master at his craft; perhaps the greatest rock drummer of all time. The public did not know of his cancer. He was always a private man and remained so until his last day. It is hard to hear that one so talented and prolific, is no longer.

Hirjah And The Undoing Of The West

Leave a reply

It is happening all over the West and no one cares. From an historical perspective, it is an invasion, an act of war; that is how historians will describe it when they look back centuries from now. We are witnesses to the Islamic doctrine of Hirjah unfolding before us, and there couldn’t be greater apathy towards it from those that lead us. This year, 2019, marked the first time that the name Muhammad made the top ten list of boys baby names in America, and I predict it will be in the top three within five years.

Hirjah is the modern Muslim doctrine of emigrating to new lands, out-breeding the native population, and over time, turning that nation Islamic. It is based on Muhammad’s migration from Mecca to Medina in the year 622 AD, where he changed his unimpactful doctrines of a peaceful Islam into a religion of bloodshed and the sword. It was those ruthless years in Medina that gave Islam its growth and political power, as it did not grow at all during those years in Mecca when it was peaceful.

Cultures die when good men apathetically refuse to defend them. For those who have studied and understand the history of Islam, they know that it has only spread and grown through violence and authoritarian control. Unlike Christianity, for example, there has been no peaceful missionary movement that sought conversions through compassionate care of physical needs or the building of needed infrastructure to improve the quality of life of the population as a whole. Islam means submission and it has spread out of fear of death if one refuses to submit. Islam is not a religion and certainly not a religion of peace; it is an authoritarian political movement that seeks control of the entire population of earth.

“Islam is a revolutionary faith that comes to destroy any government made by man. The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power that gets in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy. In order to fulfill that goal, Islam can use every power available every way it can be used to bring worldwide revolution. This is jihad.” -Syed Abul Ala Mawdudi (1905-1979), world-renowned Islamic scholar.

Jihad is not peaceful. The practice of Jihad is not optional. Hirjah is the subtle means by which this is occurring right before us. A former Muslim sheds insight into how the lobbyists plan to dominate America. He speaks from a Muslim perspective:

“American laws will protect us. Democrats and Leftists will support us. N.G.O.s will legitimize us. The A.C.L.U. will empower us. Western Universities will educate us. Mosques will shelter us. O.P.E.C. will finance us. The United Nations will cover for us. Our children will immigrate from Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Indonesia to the US and to the other Western countries. We will use your welfare system. Our children will send money home while they are preparing for Jihad. We will take advantage of American kindness, gullibility, compassion, and freedom of speech. When the time comes, we will stab them in the back…”

The West needs to awaken to the threat in our midst. If we are to preserve our way of life for our children and their posterity, we cannot allow our nations to be invaded; we cannot allow our values to be subverted and our *virtue of tolerance to be taken advantage of. The war is raging right now, and sadly, only one side knows its fighting.

*Tolerance is NOT a virtue. Nor can a society remain in tact if it tolerates evil in its midst. The pursuit of the good, the beautiful, and the true cannot allow for the tolerance of those things that will subvert this pursuit.
