Not American, but well said: "It isn’t the State that creates a healthy society. For when the State grows too powerful, people feel that they count for less and less. The State drains society not only of its wealth but of initiative, of energy, the will to improve and innovate, as well as to preserve what is best. But our aim is to let people feel that they count for more and more. If we can’t trust the deepest instincts of our people, we shouldn’t be in politics at all. . . To those waiting with bated breath for that favorite media catchphrase the “U-turn,” I have only one thing to say: You turn if you want to: The Lady’s not for turning." https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/10/tho ught-for-the-day-the-ladys-not-for-turning.php (Message edited by ducbsa on October 04, 2022) | ||

Full disclosure, I'm against any Morality Police. Don't care if the religion is Islam or Global climate or Twitter. If I was an Iranian Patriot I wouldn't attend protests, I'd firebomb Morality Police. Their barracks, offices, and go vigilante on any groups on the street I thought I could defeat. Steal their weapons and turnaround their terror tactics. There are a LOT of terrorists working for the Mullahs murdering women by preference, bullies and cowards. Make THEM afraid to show themselves. It's not like America where the local police are your friendly neighbors who share your culture, and no patriotic Americans would want to fight. Those neighbors in Iran would also not be The Enemy to a counter revolution. The Regime Protection Forces are separate and "Elite" terrorists who murder and rape and torture to keep the Mullahs in power. Absolutely legit targets, and perhaps as many as hundreds of thousands, all to be immolated to end the Tyranny. You don't join such things out of goodness. | ||

Non-violent protests only work when the people in charge aren’t murderers. Dr. King’s methods will not work in Iran. | ||

When dealing with theocrats, there are no limits to how brutal, dishonest, and murderous they can be. After all, they are fighting for their gods. No limits on collateral damage. Who the gods are doesn't matter, really, there is zero way to tell the difference between a True Believer and a cynical exploiter. Same script, same trail of bodies. Oh, in hindsight, the cynical exploiter will be hated by the True Believers, often the same ones who willingly informed on the heretics and cheered the public executions. That's if the truth of their hearts is ever revealed, a rare thing. But as far as the victims go, there's no difference if they are beaten to death in a cellar by either one's order. In China It's called riding the Tiger. Once they take power, the entire job becomes not getting kicked out, no matter the cost. Divine Right of Kings or Equity uber alles, the excuses change in time and fad and culture, but the Will To Power is identical. It's easy to see how revolutionary or vigilante groups get started. The Glorious Leader is out of touch with the common man, duh. That's SOP from village to megacorps. It's when the sons of the Elite can get away with crimes you'd be punished for. When questioning an election is Heresy. When the Elite break the laws they decree with impunity and you lose your job and freedom. When the pimp to the Elite is murdered in prison before he can reveal his customers, and none of them is investigated, especially the ones that we actually have photos of them hanging out with and records of them visiting his slave ranches and islands. When there is no legal recourse to oppression and murder. That's when you get "insurrection", or in other terms, vigilante justice. Despite CNN and... These people. https://www.npr.org/2021/07/27/1020713409/here-are -the-9-lawmakers-investigating-the-jan-6-capitol-a ttack There hasn't been an insurrection against the Party in power. How you rate the Democrat Party supported riots and revolutionary acts by ANTIFA/BLM/Pro "choice" mobs may vary. | ||

https://reason.com/volokh/2022/10/09/some-berkeley -law-jew-free-zone-updates/ Some things in life are actually easy. If they want you to hate someone, they're probably evil. If they go after Jews, It's a certainty. This has been a tell for what? 5782 years? It's pretty reliable by now. Coal mines had canaries. | ||

Schools, forest and bushland policy, energy, fires, racism... In every category they might have been world leaders before and a third world country now.

That story doesn't ring true. The Army can't arrest people in the US, it would be a job for the FBI. However both are fully on board with the woke agenda, so who knows? | ||

Pretty obviously fake. Not the crimes alleged, those I'd believe. But the bust strains credulity. | ||

https://jewishworldreview.com/michael/barone101422 .php3 Risk adverse... Let's be open & say cowards, or in the childish vernacular, scaredy Kats. Somewhere between do nothing and micromanage everything, is a rational answer. Evil men exploit fear and hate to get what they want. The cowards lose sight of collateral damage in their terrorized focus on their phobias. One extreme example is the ( not fringe enough ) Green wish for a plague that will kill most of the people on the planet to Save Gaia. From a purely selfish view, that leaves more resources for an Elite few and a cleaner environment for the Elite to treat the planet as their personal park. That's what the WEF super rich want. A less crowded world with a manageable number of slaves. That you have to murder billions of people to get to paradise isn't mainstream acceptable morality. Yet.

https://the-pipeline.org/as-esg-falters-the-left-s eeks-to-rebrand/ ESG & DEI are, simply, racism and discrimination and tyranny. Period. F$%& them. Wait until a peak, then sell any stocks from companies that embraced these monstrosities to placate Karens. Karens can't be placated. Leftists lie so you can't negotiate. Your interests and life don't matter to them. These are fundamentally dishonest and selfish movements led by evil people. | ||

https://www.commentary.org/articles/ray-takeyh/sec ond-iranian-revolution/ This all changed in August 1978. On August 9, terrorists set ablaze Rex Cinema in the city of Abadan and killed 479 people. This was the most egregious act of arson in Iran’s modern history. Exiled in Iraq, Khomeini did a masterful job of blaming the Shah for the fire even though it was later revealed that Khomeini’s own followers had set it. I'm betting that the FBI considered setting the Capitol on fire Jan 6 but someone probably thought that was too obvious. A dynamic country suddenly went dark. Newspapers stopped publishing, electricity flickered, bazaars shut down, banks stopped processing transactions, and ports were filled with unprocessed cargo. Most important, Iranian oil production came to a halt. The country stopped functioning. Golly gee that sounds familiar. | ||

https://dailycaller.com/2022/10/19/hospital-london -surgery-cancelled-transgender-nurse/ I've worked retail, service of various types, and been first responder at a motorcycle/automobile accident. I don't care about your color, sex, politics, or dress. I might notice, just don't care. And I'm a Guy. Biological born male XY. Not that stupid, either, I can sympathize with a woman who has been abused by a man and doesn't want one to be her nurse when she's immobilized in a hospital bed. I can also understand that a person can have hurt feelings if someone else doesn't want you to take care of them. In a different context, I've had my precious feelings hurt. Boo freaking hoo. But it never occurred to me to be upset when I have been told not to intrude on abused women and that's not a hypothetical, I've had dealings with abused women's shelters. Sure, in retail, an insulting customer might be denied service by the manager. But a hospital denying health care to a patient because she doesn't want a guy touching her and that hurts the Feelings of one of the staff? I need more info than this article to make an informed judgment, but sometimes you have to accept that exceptional circumstances are a concern. | ||

https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/lincolnbrown /2022/10/18/with-people-like-this-who-needs-white- supremacists-n1638185 I must point out that in the real world there are, in fact, white supremacist groups. The Democrat Party, founders of the Klan & Jim Crow, for example. So we should take terrorist threats seriously. No matter who makes them. | ||

But I was a horny teen. ( and would have looked for what are now called Cougars, since I knew my preference fairly young ) And to be brutally honest, my reaction to a ( recent report of a ) hot looking female teacher being sent to prison for screwing a teen male student with the deliberate manipulate emotional reporting that she asked him not to tell, ( duh! ) was to consider the male student an ungrateful traitor to his species. That's not misogynist. That's having a functional memory. If you're a Gal, feel free to opine on the reverse situation. I remember wanting my English teacher to educate me.  However... I'm not happy about giving preteens explicit directions to a gay chat/hookup site. If there wasn't the current situation where it seems there's a 800% greater rate of sexual exploitation of minors in public schools than the Catholic church? I'm not sure where the fence is I'm supposed to be sitting on. I am sure I should be clubbing anyone jumping over it.. |
