Censor Thread

The Commissar Vanishes.  By David King, it is subtitled, The Falsification of Photographs and Art in Stalin's Russia.  It deals with Stalinist censorship; how photos were doctored to eliminate victims, enemies and former allies/useful idiots.

Typical collectivist revisionist behavior includes rewriting of history including official events and the slant made to the glorious revolutions as it were.  It's saying one thing and doing another.

From denial slaughter happened to justification for any number of actions, collectivism/tyranny hopes to whitewash history.  I've had a few personal encounters recently.

On FB a certain actress is vehemently antigun.  She has repeatedly insulted those who exercise their 2A rights, especially men, calling us weak and cowards, even stupid Neanderthals.  She personally attacked me for daring to disagree with her warped collectivist nonsense.

I remonstrated her.  She then not only edited, but erased it all and rewrote the passages.  She then claimed she never said any of it.  She has a habit of doing this and saying it's her way or the highway as it were. Stereotypical.

There are numerous instances of liberals altering what they say and denying it.  One time a guy threatened me and immediately vamoosed.  Shoulda gotten a pic of that.

And I mentioned in Twilight Time how another collectivist altered his posts.

Lies and half truths are all they have.  Don't let them get away with it.

Honesty is the best policy.  Study the tactics of the enemy and use them against them.  Not by lying of course.

Pressure them with the truth.

Kids Then And Now

Not a nostalgia trip.  I do remember and delve into the past.  We use it as a baseline for now.

I was just reminded of early mornings in my room.  I'd stir under the covers and lay eyes on the dim yellow glow of the radio dial.  I'd hear through the squiggly electronic sound, rock hits that are now called oldies.  I just hope I'm not lol. 

My eyes would slowly adjust as I took in the desk where the radio resided, then the wall behind and then the ceiling and other walls.  There were guns on some of the walls.  There were guns in a cabinet.  There were guns on a chest and table.  I slept in a room full of guns as a grade schooler.

Guns were a natural part of life for many then.  Even though the tendrils of collectivism were gently feeling out where to erode Freedom, many lived in security.  That was the mistake.

We are learning again the price of Liberty is eternal vigilance, 

There is nothing wrong with a warm safe womb/room full of guns.  Just don't stay there especially in memory.  Refuge has its place as long as you venture out. 

I was used to guns.  Never afraid.  I was trusted as a child because I was taught how to operate them safely.  I respected what they did.  They were not toys.  I knew the difference.  Neither did I go into detail nor brag.  Besides, most took it as a matter of course that people had guns.

There was a Chief's Special and a 1911 A1 in the drawer by my brother's bed for things that went bump in the night.  When he wasn't there, I had access to them.  I had the means and training to protect even in grade school.

Later, I had my own 1911 by my bed in high school.  Never had to use it but as the old saying goes, better to have and not need etc.

I was acutely aware of communism and believe me, it wasn't a 'scare'.  The biggest feat of the collectivists is to pretend they don't exist.  They have their own tacquiya-lies to protect their backstabbing. 

All of these things were taken for granted back when.  No fear I had a gun and no condescension about studying.  I had full access to the main library.

Today, there are fewer kids in the know and more bilked by collectivism.  And many more raised in it.  It appeals to that certain egocentric type or know it all as we called them as kids. 

Fear is fostered.  Of guns and thinking for oneself and a host of things in connection with Freedom.

We taught our kids to think for themselves and they sure aren't scared of guns.  They know as I was instructed.  The generations carry on, though at an eroded rate.

They are taught to question and see the revisionism necessary for collectivists to thrive.  Only lies and half truths keep them afloat.

The battle is fiercer than ever.  We live in the most crucial time.  Does the Republic survive?  Can it be restored?

There are kids who do not accept the lies.  They are Freedom minded and yes have guns.  There must be no age limit set by gov.  That is a parent's job.

Things taken for granted.  Again that markedly led us to where we are.

Enjoy the warmth and glow.  Clean your guns and step into the cold.  Warm is the heart of Liberty.

Twilight Time

The Twilight Zone made a great positive impression on me.  It was a key to unlock the imagination indeed.  My Friday night was complete with TZ then the late night classic horror movies hosted by Selwyn.

There were thought provoking episodes about various facets of human life and beyond.  As a kid, it stimulated my mind just as all the other cultural assets available.  The library was another place where I gained so much knowledge.  Along with actually meeting people of all walks of life, I started a lifelong practice of reaching out and being available to learn. 

I'm not here to offer commentary on the show, episodes, Rod Serling, nor anything/anyone else.  It is what it is.  Decide for yourselves.

I am here to talk of the slick exterior/blowsy interior of liberal superiority.

Ask a simple question, get a verbose ridicule strewn answer and not from the one addressed.

A fellow who is well known for his work on filmic nostalgia, asked about the current conflagration re gun.  He purported to want to know why people should have certain kinds.  His question was met but haughty antigun support and a withering disdain for Freedom lovers.

Collectivists came out in force and lambasted the guns and the 2A.  Their replies were to say the least voluminous and if examined, were full of holes.  Anyone daring to espouse progun/pro2A/proFreedom views were ganged upon and looked down upon by the mandarins of te left.

 I simply asked the person how he defined the 2A.  That was met with the same attitude and an article that relied on lies and half truths as is the wont of collectivists.

I was accused of 'sealioning': A subtle form of trolling involving "bad-faith" questions. You disingenuously frame your conversation as a sincere request to be enlightened, placing the burden of educating you entirely on the other party. If your bait is successful, the other party may engage, painstakingly laying out their logic and evidence in the false hope of helping someone learn. In fact you are attempting to harass or waste the time of the other party, and have no intention of truly entertaining their point of view. Instead, you react to each piece of information by misinterpreting it or requesting further clarification, ad nauseum. The name "sea-lioning" comes from a Wondermark comic strip.

I asked a straightforward question, which is endemic to the question.  Types of guns are demonized and attempts to remove them are infringements. 

It was necessary to know how this guy saw the 2A, though I suspected he either didn't value it at all or he indeed sought to infringe.  I was going to ask him why.

The respondent sealioned me instead reversing things in true as it were Alinskyan style.  I told him he had his Alinsky down.  He called me a jingoist and said that was enough.  Got his goat.

Then, he rewrote the response and asked me how that made me feel.  ?  I blocked him.  I have no time for trolls nor giving him negative energy for that is what they seek.  And a sick need for attention.

Which brings me to this haughty disdain liberals have for those of us Restoring the Republic.  They have only pride and controlling due to lack of self. Thus, they wish to control all.  Collectivism 101.

All these guys are Twilight Zone and James Bond fans.  Plenty of guns and violence.

In Bond's case it's vicarious to be a killer who gets the girl.  It's a common fantasy because Bond is a state agent.  They seem to forget how often he runs afoul of his superiors as a rebel.  He nails bad guys who seek to destroy the world and he is rewarded with the ladies/luxury.  He isn't just offing people in his way.

Pat McGoohan had a moment on Danger Man where he noted any luxury was a treat, for the agents lived dangerous lives.

Twilight Zone often depicted struggle against tyranny.  They perceive it as fascist.  I see it as collectivist.  They missed the greater deeper message of individualism and justice set forth on the show.  Conscience and caring for others are also championed.

Collectivists see what they want.

We who live in and seek Liberty look for that quality in others and circumstances.

So, don't be shy.  Stand up to tyranny like on TZ.

Stop however you can, the bad guys seeking to destroy Freedom.

As for getting the girl, or boy for you ladies, well that's up to you lol.

RetCom

Must publish my post without delay -s-.

Not retcon, which amounts to revising a storyline to include new concepts.  Age and relationships are frequently altered.  Kids suddenly grow older and siblings sprout where there were none for example.

I've spoken of these things before and they bear frequent repeating.

Reticence.  What if I fail?  What if I succeed?  Get a big charge out of making things happen?  Then bask in the glow and do nothing?  Whatever keeps you from seeing things through, reticence is a death watch beetle. 

This is how it should have been:  Heart in the City, directed by Robert Wise and Produced by Patrick McGoohan.  A BurlyRose Production.  I hemmed and hawed.  The guys didn't pressure me.  Then it was too late.

It's not too late.  Heart in the City will be done, albeit revised mostly with cast and crew.  It MUST be done.  There are no excuses.

Even this post could be an excuse.

So I remember what someone told me about indecision.  I couldn't make up my mind.  She said, 'Just do it Michael.'  That's it.

All the training, contacts, advantages are nothing but futile wisps of stolen glory without action.

I've been writing and maintaining my craft.  There is the difference with the other point, complacency.

Those points above the self congratulatory pats on the back that lead to a rationalization.

Well hey I know him/her, did this that.  It's not enough.  And if you have a conscience, you will at least be haunted if not goaded to act.

Whatever your goals, follow through.  Much in the eyes of the world?  Well, start with yourself and let the world come around.

Take a chance.  Prepare and go for it.

As for me, watch this blog. 

I'll show my life and in relation to Restoring the Republic. 

I can't separate them.

Be restless and go for it.

Dark Ages

A new dark age swirls around like a black fog, attempting to seep in and fill empty space where it can.  It has made attempts to bit by bit replace the Light with off and on success.  Of course, I speak of collectivism, which runs on the fumes of failure. 

There is no doubt we dodged a bullet, a horrible fate averted, with the God given victory of Donald Trump.  8 years of the Occupier were bad enough.  Her Fullness would have been the two of the one two punch to seal our globalist fate.  I hope it is more than postponed.

Collectivism has done nothing but bring misery and darkness to the world.  It thrives only in that.  Dominance, fear the very nature of hell are the qualities outstanding.  And a reliance on government as mom and pop to dole out whimsical rewards or punishments.

Those who would control attempt to hold progress for ransom.  That price is total control for a few morsels of achievement.  Any advancement is held back.  Controllers know that advancement is part and parcel of Freedom/Liberty.

Useful idiots, true believers, string pullers are kept in varying degrees of dark, from latter, middler and former to knowledge held by a few in the shadows.  Control is maintained by conditioning.  Some higher ups have limited knowledge with promise of more.

I've recently, one of many encounters, experienced some of this concerning the shooting in Kentucky.  The blood dancers immediately cried to do something ie more background checks and some declared for registry. 

The stock in trade whipping boy, NRA, was dragged out.  I was told gunowners are nuts, brainwashed with no compassion.  We know the opposite is true.  We care enough to defend ourselves and help aid people.  Very Alinskyan the accusations.  Of course when I pointed to Alinsky it was ignored.

The principal antifreedom person I encountered erased the nut ref and rewrote posts.  Then she denied ever saying the things she eliminated.  I said it reminded me of the airbrushed commissar pics from Stalin's era.

Kept in the dark, projecting faults and controlling due to lack of self, well I can't think of a better example of living in a dark age.

We now have a God given chance to live in the light of Freedom.  These who dwell in darkness cannot stop us, cannot make us falter.

Trump is only the representative for all of us.  We must each find and do our part.

Dark ages are brittle and crack apart in that Light.

SWST

Maybe I put too much into titles.  Sometimes I try to be witty.  Whatever.  Like Star Trek Wars lol.  Anyway, both these franchises are on my mind.

Those in charge are letting the world down with how Star Wars has developed.  As a writer, I can see exciting stories complete with angst, pathos and action, that could have been produced.  Well, they haven't been.  Of course, I'm not being paid to create any of it, so I'll keep my ideas to myself.  But it could be better is an understatement.

Ineffectual males who previously were dynamic and anemic feminist women in charge makes for bland cultural Marxist pablum. 

And history should be destroyed?  Excuse me?  It is from history we learn, not living in the past, but delving there.

No diatribes in re Jedi/Sith balance unbalance etc.  Fashion your own and/or go to forums and chitchat.

I'm not talking acting nor production values.  They are top notch given the circumstances. 

Now when it comes to icons, we all have our opinions.  But I stand with the slow drip/creep of what I said before.

I watched the STTOS movies over the weekend.  They still stand up.  I love them and no comparison with the last 3 movies or Discovery.

Originally we had hope.  There were all the dynamics including teaching social lessons.  But those lessons are time tested, much beyond politics.  And there's the difference.  Morals.

Yes there was action, but plenty of substance.  Now a veneer of substance and lots of unending booms dangle like we're babes watching shiny things.

Personally I think ST Renegades was superior.  It was fan based and featured established actors, staff and tech. 

Set later the Federation is crumbling.  It's become too authoritarian/lapsed.  A team of misfits forms and the long term was to reestablish liberty through those thought too outre.  Sounds like the Founders.  Maybe that's too much or not.  But it beats the pc pap available now.

Again acting and production values are fine.  It's the message.

Discovery.  Klingons are not Trump's administration.  Sure there are some outre things done.  But it's from what I say is stodgy liberal delusion.

Give me the hope mixed with battles real, internal, external.  Give me caring about the future in Liberty.  Give me friendship tried and true.  And give me thinking outside the box not just monkey wrenching.

President Trump spoke of unlocking the secrets of the universe.

Let's get busy and reach for the stars.

Sam's

The Sam's Club on East Washington Street had been there for about 35 years.  Our family had shopped there about 30.  It abruptly closed, ending 1/26.

My daughter and I were just there on 1/10 for a routine shopping trip.  We enjoyed each other's company and all seemed normal.  Little did we know what had been doubtlessly plotted in advance.

The next morning, I was perusing local news and the headline smacked me right on the head.  'Local Sam's Clubs to close.'  I hoped against hope but 'our' store was one of them.

They closed the store and the other local one that day for 'meetings' with employees.  These folks received severance packages in the mail that day.  There was no announcement, no warning.  But the meetings supposedly were to 'help' employees plot a course for employment elsewhere.

Not only these stores, but 63 across the country and Puerto Rico were given the ax.  The excuse was underperformance.  And, Walmart was responding supposedly to the tax cuts to give bonuses and pay increases to its employees.  It turns out several other companies are cutting before sharing. 

Here is what I think.  Executive mismanagement and greed.  Cut stores cut the shares.  Am I wrong?  Hard to prove.  The deed is done.

Of course collectivists blame the President.  Nonsense.  By and large, the tax break is beneficial.  And yes, a 1,000 bucks can make a difference for many.  It disgusts me the absolute gall, arrogance of collectivists.  They want to drag us into a dark age.  More on that soon.

The above is kind of short.  Be that as it may, study and look for yourselves the results of all Trump etal are doing.  It is Restoration of the Republic.  And it terrifies and angers collectivists.  And there will always be those who still underct and overextend for a cheap out.

One other thing.

Ruthie and I went shopping the following Friday.  The lot was packed and checkout was way into the aisles.  So we stocked up. 

While shopping I checked the RX.  There was no notice, yet, for where our scrips would go.  The girl said to the far north store.  I told her how sorry and shocked I was about it all.  She smiled and said 'Imagine how we felt.'  Indeed.

Few days later my son and I drove out.  Full lot and a line all he way back to the alley.  He said it looked very soviet, as if people waited for their allotments.

I have, for years, mentioned to the kids not to be fooled by all the stuff in stores.  I said if SHTF those stores would empty quickly.  No shipments, panic looting etc would ensue.

This was a sample of what could come.

So let's restore the Republic.

We'll be ready for weal and woe.
