Blogger unpublishes a blog post on its platform

Blogger unpublishes No Pasaran blog post about Hitler not being a Christian

It reminds yours truly of a similar event on the same blogging platform, but it had nothing to do with politics. The blog post on the No Pasaran blog was unpublished for some vague reason not clearly stated, which is also the same as for the post on this here blog. Consequently, it is worth a brief mention.

The blog post on this here blog was re-published by yours truly, despite not finding anything at all wrong with the post. To the author's knowledge, the post hasn't been unpublished again. It appeared to be a mistake.

This allows the author to segue into the nature of the blog post on No Pasaran. It was about Hitler's non-Christian point of view. Hitler may have been born Catholic, and it says something to that effect on the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, which has been mentioned on this here blog recently. However, the Nazi philosophy is decidedly neo-Pagan, and has absolutely nothing at all to do with Christianity. In fact, Nazism was hostile to it.

What was the Catholic attitude towards Hitler during his rise to power? It isn't mentioned much in Shirer's book, but indications were that the killing of the Jews was done largely out of the sight of the German people. Only when the Allied Armies conquered the German lands, did the fact of the killing facilities become common knowledge. It may well have been mentioned in the press, but it wasn't considered a real thing until the reality of the ovens and gas chambers became known.

It is simply not credible that Hitler did what he did as a consequence of a Christian belief. Quite the contrary. From Shirer's book, it was noted that Hitler did not want to force a religious reformation upon the Church. But if he were to be victorious, the Catholic Church would have been in deep trouble. According to Shirer, the intellectual roots of Nazism were based on Nietche and possibly to Hegel. These are not Christian thoughts. Hegel's ideas formed the basis of Marxist thought, by the way.

If Google suppressed the post because of an assertion of the obvious, which is that Hitler was NO CHRISTIAN at all, but a neo-Pagan, then Google was wrong.

Land of the free home of the brave---no more

Something ominous is arising. Watch closely and see how fear has crept into the national psyche. People are afraid these days. That's with good reason, because the government is turning to intimidation and iron rule, as opposed to the consent of the governed. The government has repudiated its founding documents and traditions.

Brandon is an angry man. He covers it up for the most part, but any challenge to this man is met with a iron fist. Don't be fooled by the talk of senility and dementia. Biden has always been this way. He was not contrite after he got caught plagiarizing in the late eighties. There was a video of him ( link unavailable) in which he showed plainly that he was definitely not sorry. He may have been sorry he got caught, and he had to pay a price for it at that time (1988). But he was not at all sorry for what he had done. This man has not changed at all.

Joe Biden fits the temperament of the modern left. He also resembles one infamous tyrant of years past-- Adolf Hitler. Before anyone starts rolling their eyes, read William Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. There was a biographic on Hitler's early days. Hitler had always had tendency to get angry when people disagreed with him. Isn't that the way the modern left acts with greater and greater frequency and intensity? The "snowflakes" feathers get mighty easily ruffled these days. They sure have a hair "trigger".

Shirer's book also shows how the Brownshirts silenced their opposition. Hitler even went to jail over a viscious physical assault of a man so that this man could not make a speech. Hitler was not sorry, he was glad even though he want to jail for it.

Dan Bongino says that the modern left loves this kind of stuff. This is nothing new. The first show that the late Rush Limbaugh gave on TV, he hid behind a blue dot for several minutes. He was illustrating how the conservative movement has ALWAYS had to hide behind that dot, so to speak, by the overbearing and intolerant left. Limbaugh's TV show aired in 1992, thirty years ago. Nothing has changed. If anything, it is worse than ever. The modern left has hijacked the government like the terrorists hijacked the planes on 9/11/01.

Brandon has singed a bill, which will hire 87k new IRS agents. Does anyone really believe that the IRS isn't going to go after their political opposition? The point is to inspire fear in the opposition. No opposition is going to be tolerated henceforth, unless this is changed. The DOJ/FBI is being weaponized against the most prominent opponent in the political sphere for no other reason than he defeated them before, and likely will do so again. There is blatant intimidation of all those who would aid and assist Trump. One would think that this was the former Soviet Union. It so happens that Nazi Germany also outlawed ALL opposition parties. The Nazis also took all guns. All power to the Soviet! Coming to a country near you.

The Loyal Opposition supports gun rights, and supports freedom. Most of them also support the a Loyal Opposition, but not all. Some of them prefer that Trump go away too. Never mind that Trump is the choice of the majority of the GOP. Never mind that the Steele Dossier was fake. Never mind that the FBI hired a prominent man behind that infamous dossier so as to keep him quiet. At least Nixon paid "hush money" with private funds, not taxpayer funds. The government has been weaponized against the opposition. The Loyal Opposition is now a bunch of fascists, says Brandon.

We are told that this is a democracy. If it is a democracy, then why do the Democrats want to end the Loyal Opposition? At the current time, there is no democracy, no freedom, nor a rule of law. It is for good reason that the Democrats would kneel when the National Anthem is played at stadiums across the country. They are at war with the very idea of freedom and self-government. They prefer the iron hand of oppression driven by fear. Land of the free and home of the brave no more. A new day has dawned, but it will be a nightmare of which there will be no end save a miracle.

Rasmussen's polls show Brandon's polls are steady. After a speech like THAT? What has happened to this country?

Endless loop

 

How many people out there who have done some programming? A computer program is nothing more than a list of instructions which the computer executes exactly. Therefore, if you were to write a piece of code which has no exit, it will continue to loop back and forth for as long as the computer is running. It is said to be in an endless loop. The computer has no way of determining that it is in an endless loop, and will not shut itself down unless it is programmed to recognize the situation. If it is thus programmed, it has that exit ramp to leave the program.

It seems that whenever you use a computer, there is always a risk that at some point, the program will not be able quit properly. Windows computers used to be notorious about that. You'd sometime get that "blue screen of death". That was a systemic problem. But any such program can lock up a computer. You wouldn't expect that from the operating system, though.

The reason I bring it up is that this computer seemed to get stuck this morning. It became unresponsive. I think I know how it happened, but I don't quite understand how I got out of it. Somehow or another, I might have found the "exit ramp", or it already had one that it managed to find itself. The computer is still new. It's about a month old.

I'm beginning to believe that all products seem to have their quirks. I've bought many cars and trucks over the years, and they've all seem to have a quirk or two in them. Now it is computers. The machine that this computer replaced had a strong tendency to lose power to the keyboard and peripherals. It appeared to be a flaw in the design, which allowed a poor connection to cut power to the mentioned devices. That was the reason for getting this new one. The problem was getting worse and making the computer unusable. It had to be replaced.

I'm thinking that this new computer has a design flaw that allowed this anomaly this morning. If it was an endless loop situation, it is fortunate that it was caught after a delay. The delay was about 45 minutes. But what if it wasn't caught?

Our society is becoming too dependent on computers. What if this happened in a life critical situation? You don't want your computer to frizz out on you if you have a self-driving car. The result could be an accident, and the people inside may not get out of it in one piece.

Know what I mean, Vern?

Cranial-rectal inversion

 

There is a certain amount of vularity in the culture now. It was not always so. Back in the sixties, the censors would bleep out bad words. But it could be circumvented sometimes, with the use of clever words that say the same things without cussing. An example is in the title of this post. It drew a chuckle from yours truly, and inspired the title. You really can raise your level of discourse if you really wanted to. Or go back down into the gutter.

Brandon's Rasmussen numbers are holding up pretty well. This is somewhat puzzling. One would think that after that infernal speech recently that people would wake the "infernal regions" up. Then the realization struck that these people ( at least some of them) have got that cranial-rectal inversion thing going.

People who gave Brandon a good approval rating for THAT speech are way the "infernal regions" out of line. If doesn't make good sense to accuse a good portion of the population of being traitors. That's because if you are serious about that, it can only embolden Brandon to get even more aggressive. That is precisely what is wrong with everything that has been going on in the country for far too long. It's okay to disagree. It is not okay to demand fealty to some faction personally, because our government expressly forbids this. Nobody owes the Democrats, or their willing accomplices in the GOP, any personal loyalty. That's what the term "rule of law" means. It is not meant to be used as a "glittering generality", or magic word, which will silence all opposition. There is a "loyal opposition." There can be no loyal opposition in a totalitarian regime.

The question should be put to these people: Do you really want a Civil War? Because if there is one, you can be assured that it won't be a pleasant walk in the park. A real Civil War these days may make the first one look like a walk in the park.

When certain Democrat politicians, like Brandon, start talking the way he does, the actions could start getting severe. You'll never know where these things end up.

There is news out there that these latest moves of Brandon are acts of desperation. ( my take, by the way) He is close to being cornered. This could be the explanation for the language and the aggression.

It is an attempt to intimidate his opposition. Opposition isn't treason. Opposition is a RIGHT. Brandon and his followers are out of line. It is a rectal-cranial inversion on an epic scale.

We need a bigger boat

 

A bit of a "Jaws" reference, there. This propaganda difficulty is so big that it is going to take a "bigger boat". The "shark" is way, way too big. It might as well be Captain Ahab fighting the great white whale.

By the way, the movie "Moby Dick", which stars Gregory Peck as Ahab, is available on Amazon Prime.

All the movie references aside, when you've got people who supposedly are on the side of freedom, and these people refer themselves as being on the political right, you've got a shark that is just way too big. It is almost as diabolical as that great white shark that bit off Ahab's leg. It drove Ahab insane with vengeance, as he was "tasked" with the mission to bag the beast. But the whale got him instead. Yeah, and another movie reference comes to mind, but never mind that.

Looking at the Gospel of John, there may be a "bigger boat". Unfortunately, we may be more like Quint in Jaws, or Ahab in Moby Dick, and refuse the help. Divine power is necessary here. We can't think way out of this one, it seems. (another movie!) See John 6:63 for why the bigger boat is needed. ( yep, another movie)

Believe it or not, this post isn't about movies. It is a real thing. There is one more primary today in New Hampshire. The "far right" candidate seems to be ahead. If I said it once, I've said it a hundred times on this here blog---the reference to oneself as being on the right is an avenue for attack by the opposition. All they have to do is make the accusation of being "extreme", or "far right", and suddenly you're a fascist. Yet, commentators who should be talking about freedom, are referring themselves as being on the right. Don't blame Brandon for using the semi-fascist angle. You are doing it to yourselves.

It is a Kobayahi Maru scenario. ( can't win scenario, another movie reference)

We really are going to need a bigger boat.

Anti-fascist. '12 point' list

Bongino said that the left checks off all the boxes for fascism if there was a 12 point list.

That gives me an idea to propose to combat fascism from the left. The GOP has let itself be shutdown. They've become victims of Stockholm Syndrome, where the captives start identifying with their captors. For heaven sake, there are GOP people who are for Whitmer, the shutdown queen. Bongino says that the left shuts down their opponents by making them afraid. We've got to fight fascism here, so here's a list of the what the left seems to be doing. It may not be a 12 point list, but here goes.

First, the left is trying to shutdown opposition through government harassment. Big government liberalism or leftism, has weaponized government to shutdown MAGA Republicans. The answer is not to let yourselves be intimidated into silence. Fighting gun-control is the key. Bongino mentions that they are using backdoor ways to seize guns. Law abiding citizens may be forced into surrendering their guns, even though there is no cause to do this. This is government harassment of citizens who are doing nothing but exercising their rights. The government needs to be brought under control. The people need to be assertive about their rights, without the violence. The left is accusing the law abiding MAGA people, and anyone else who opposes them, of harboring violent intentions.  They do this by equating opposition with violence.

Bongino is talking about the weaponization of fear. This is another way of getting people to give up their freedom because they are afraid. The GOP should demand the end to this weaponization of fear for political gain. Bongino talks about how Hillary is trying to weaponize the threat of violence by comparing their opposition, such as MAGA Republicans, to the terrorists who attacked on 9-11. The security state has now turned on the American people. Actually, the Government types are the ones who are now terrorizing law-abiding citizens. The MAGA people are not the enemies of the people, so to speak. For doing nothing but exercising their rights? Government must be cut down to size. The Government is out of control.  There was no insurrection.  The only armed people at the J6 riot who had arms were the police and one person was shot and killed by a police officer.

The Government is also got an symbiosis that Bongino talks about. The symbiosis is between the corporate media and corporations in general, to do what the government wants. There is a court case being developed on this very thing. The GOP should denounce this symbiosis and take steps to end this symbiosis. The Government should not be using their power to coerce the corporations into doing their bidding, and becoming an oppressive force in the body politic. The freedom of the people is at stake. Corporations should be held accountable for becoming involved in politics. Their needs to be a wall between the power of Wall Street and the power of Government.

The GOP should also encourage the privatization of education. The public school system isn't doing its job. It is high time that parents to be able to send their children to the school of their choice. Teacher's unions are the most responsible for putting masks on kids even though the kids were least at risk of COVID. This hampered the children's development, and caused much more harm than good.

The GOP should demand a reform of the government, including all sectors the bureaucracy. Every part of the government is being weaponized into becoming an agent of oppression. Police has been defunded and the Federal government is too fat and too powerful. We get bad government and no freedom to boot. Functions of the government like basic services such as law enforcement, are now dysfunctional. Thanks to the Democrats.

That's five propositions. Not twelve, but there's plenty more. This is a start. It isn't pro-fascist. It is anti-fascist through the promotion and freedom.

If you want to be fair and balanced, then there has to be the other side to the story

 

With respect to propaganda, you know when you have it when you get only one side of the story.

With respect to the FBI raid on Trump, the DOJ wants to wage a propaganda war on Trump with their use of leaks. They want to convict Trump in the court of public opinion. But it isn't an open court, with the right to confront witnesses, as per the Bill of Rights.

The DOJ is leaking to the media in a way in which Trump cannot respond. This is an abuse of the process that is supposed in accordance to the Bill of Rights (THE LAW), in which the accused has rights. This is also the history of a politicized DOJ that DIDN'T start when Trump came on the scene. This has been building steadily in the culture for a long, long time. Rush Limbaugh got his start in accordance with this same principle--Limbaugh said that "I am equal time". We needed it then, and we need it now.

In a real court room, you have witnesses for both sides-- the prosecution and the defense. They are allowed to cross examine the witnesses before a group of impartial jurors. At least in theory. When the system works as it is supposed to, truth has a chance. That's because both sides can present their cases by a set of rules that can eliminate as much as possible the contentions that each will make that may not be true. Hopefully, a competent and fair jury will be selected, and will make a good decision in keeping with the law and the facts. Since it is an adversarial process, each side will do it very best to win. There needs to be a fair judge who rule in accordance with law so that justice can be served. Again, if the system works, the truth of the matter can be determined as far as it is possible with fallible human beings, and the best judgements can be made.

You don't get that when the DOJ insists upon secrecy, and at the same time, they leak to the media. This is not a fair and balanced approach, nor is it intended to be. Not only that, it isn't in keeping with traditions and law. So much for the "rule of law", and "democracy". These terms are "glittering generalities", a hallmark of propaganda. A citizenry that doesn't want to listen is going to be doomed to a totalitarian dicatorship, because that is how dictators act. In a real democracy, you'll have to have some semblence of balance, justice, and fairness. If you don't, well, you're fake democracy will resemble the Soviet Union and Red China more that the what used to be the case in the "good 'ol USA".

Here's a propaganda place for you here. It is necessary though, to balance the propaganda flowing in the opposite direction. The way you "fact check" is to present your viewpoints. You don't get an authority laying down the law and their viewpoints on you, which is so often the case these days. The link follows: The United spot

Finally on this subject, I'm going to mention something that can be seen on wikipedia on the subject of propaganda. That is this: IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FALSE. It can be true and right as rain as far as it goes, but it is totally one-sided. This is what you call "card stacking". The current regime is totally into that with their double impeachements, star chambers, the gulag for the J6th political prisoners, and the J6th committee itself. You get the Democrat media machine kicking in, and you've got your "submissive void". This is what the totalitarians want. The question before us should be whether or not we really want this for our country. A submissive void cannot be trusted to make that determination because it is in thrall to this totalitarian dynamic.

As it has been said, "he who has an ear, let him hear."

Submissive void

 

There was a post on Free Republic that mentions a term called the submissive void. It features a population that cannot detect propaganda, and thus accepts what they hear as normal, and believes it.

When I was in the school system, the nature of propaganda was taught. It was up to people to recognize it through the descriptions thus given. I can remember some terms: 1) glittering generalities 2) plain folks 3) bandwagon 4) card stacking, and probably many more. To learn of these should be required in a free society. Don't tell the people what to think, just give them the tools to decide for themselves.

The source for the term submissive void came from a Free Republic post. It won't be linked because there's a big dose of anti-Americanism in it.

Generally, propaganda has had negative connotations in America. This is not necessarily the case in other countries, if memory serves. The "submissive void" is probably what is desired. It does seem to be the general case that politicians don't want any back talk from the plebes. The USA was supposed to be different because of the 1st Amendment. It doesn't look like theory matches the facts anymore. Those who report the news give a slanted version of it.

It may well have gone past propaganda, and into Joseph Goebbels territory. The Nazi Regime didn't mind "propaganda", but any other party besides the Nazi Party was outlawed and suppressed. If memory serves, Goebbels may have invented the term "the big lie". The Nazi Regime had the people firmly in their grip. Goebbels was a master propagandist.

In this day and age, the ability to pull off the big lie is something to behold. It could well be the manifestation of the submissive void, since there aren't enough people willing to challenge the propaganda coming from this regime in power in America. With information easily available, anybody can get answers to questions with a mere click of a mouse. The rise of the submissive void should be unfathomable here; but looking around, it certainly seems like there is one. There really isn't much of an excuse for being misinformed. It is a type of neglect.

It has been said that freedom requires eternal vigilance. Is anybody out there willing to step up and man the walls from the threat of false information? As for me, the media is totally unreliable. Besides the media, there are few options. But they exist. If it was up to this regime, they'd shut down ALL options. That's what propaganda is like. The claim of democracy is their big lie. The oppressors talk like that in totalitarian regimes. The people in those regimes get a distorted view of reality. This makes the people easy to manipulate.

It is not a pleasant road to travel.
