Apologies as I am somewhat behind on
events, which have moved far faster than I would have thought
possible. I am well behind the assassination attempt of Republicans
on a baseball field. But the thoughts here both extend back, and look
forward.
First, a teaser. In the classic,
“Original Series” Star Trek, there is an episode called The
Omega Glory. In it, Captain Kirk is imprisoned
with “Cloud William” – the leader of the Yangs, a savage
American Indian-like group who are warring against the Asiatic Kohms.
It is in this jail cell that Cloud William first speaks.
I’ll address what was said in that
jail cell at the end.
SETTING THE STAGE
The Left has been whispering
poison into its followers’ minds. For years,
for decades, Republicans have been presented as the worst
of evils. Racists.
Greedy and selfish. Murderers. Fascists. Bigots:
“On Wednesday, a 66-year-old
political activist picked up a rifle and handgun, with deliberate
premeditated intent and hatred in his heart, and drove to a baseball
field where Republican congressmen were preparing for the annual
baseball charity game. These congressmen hailed from the party that
pushes grannies over cliffs. They were men whose mission in life was
to steal money from the poor and give to their rich friends. They
were polluters whose chief aim was to destroy the globe they lived
on. They were men who were racists, bigots, and homophobes. These
men, in baseball cleats and uniforms, were the worst of the worst
America has to offer, or so news reports, media, pundits, late-night
show hosts, Hollywood elites, millions of Americans, and particularly
their Democratic colleagues across the aisle would have you believe.”
Never mind that the
history of the Left is clear; they’ve been
violent for, well, a
long time. But when you own the schools from
Day One, when you have a monopoly (until recently) on the media input
people see and hear, you control what people believe.
Consider the words
of Socialist Saul Alinksy: “There can be no conversation between
the organizer and his opponents. The latter must be depicted as being
evil.”
Evil. Understand this. They
view us as evil. Evil people who push grandma off cliffs.
Evil people who starve babies, break up families, and who want to
strip-mine the earth and are indifferent to the survival of every
living thing. Evil people who want slavery, who want gays executed,
and who want to consign women to perpetual slavery in the kitchen,
bedroom, and delivery room. (To copy an internet meme, when did we
become Muslims?)
Companies across the world spend
countless billions to create images in minds, via radio, via TV, via
the internet. The Left is doing the same round the clock. People on
the Left are literally immersed in it, and it’s become what they
believe.
Conclusion 1: The Left believes,
firmly, that we on the Right are evil, on a level directly comparable
with the worst of the worst of humanity’s history. On the flip
side, they believe that they are truly righteous, good people, and
that what they believe is the inexorable, predestined “arc of
history”.
Poisoned Soil Yields Foul Fruit
So consider the rhetoric and images
that are flowing today; e.g., Cartoon
Nazi Trump Blown Up in Moby Music Video. A
Democrat official wishes
Congressman Scalise was dead (he says his words
were taken out of context – sorry, how nuanced are “I’m glad he
got shot” and “I wish he was (expletive) dead”?) A college
professor said
“If you see white people drowning or burning or bleeding to death,
let them effing die and smile a bit when you do.”.
A physical assault is called, by
the media who are – theoretically –
supposed to inform, not propagandize, “Democracy in action.” And
while, yes, some on our side cheered the Montana congress candidate’s
attack on a media member, our side also roundly criticized the
action. Not so the enemedia; here’s another
example where it’s implied Congressman Steve
Scalise had it coming for the crime of being conservative. And
another.
And another.
Leftists openly use terms like
#HuntRepublicanCongressmen.
Conservatives are labeled
as evil. Students at school seemingly
aspire to rise to the level of Brownshirts (and
have been at this for quite some time!):
“Following recent events at Berkeley, the editor of a student
paper ran an entire series political editorials in this vein
espousing
the use of violence to shut down controversial speakers and ideas.”
A Conservative student at a Boston
(i.e., moonbat leftie) college, upon a chance meeting with Milo
Yiannopoulos, posted a facebook picture of herself with him. The
picture was reposed on another board; her suitemate then commented
with a picture of an emoji with a gun pointing at it. The
college student ended
up leaving the school mainly out of fear for
her safety. Antifa people openly
post about wanting violence. Actor Johnny Depp
openly
muses about a Presidential assassination (and
don’t forget Kathy Griffin’s Trump beheading).
And, parenthetically, families are
being sundered. My cousin won’t talk with me; that cousin’s
mother called some poking-fun-at-Jewish-culture quips “racist”;
consider this
exchange. Families, the number one thing, are
being cleaved.
Conclusion 2: When faced with the
ultimate evil that seems to be succeeding against the “forces of
light and goodness”, frustration at that cracks into open, raw
calls to “do something”.
DANGEROUS PRECEDENTS
Hitler’s pogrom and subsequent
genocide, like every one in history, didn’t spring fully-formed
from nothing. For years there was the slow drip-drip-drip of
whispers, of how Jews were evil, money-grubbing cheats, and even
worse. When immersed in such poison, it cannot not diffuse
in. Consider the quote below, from here,
about the lead-up to the Shoah (Holocaust):
"Don't be fooled. this has not been an accidental strategy.
It has a clear purpose. The purpose is not criticism of Israel nor a
discussion of the issues; the purpose is to paint Israel and Zionism
as the ultimate evil. These words are chosen because they have become
associated in the global mindset with evil. If Israel and Zionism are
the ultimate evil, then shouldn't people of good will do something to
make sure that that evil is erased from the face from of the earth?
Even the Nazis were convinced they were doing something good. Their
minds had been prepared to such an extent that they believed that by
eliminating the Jewish people, they were in fact serving the world;
doing something good for the world, ridding it of a disease. So, if
you think about it and history, the greatest atrocities have been
preceded by the preparation of people's minds. This is what we're
seeing today. This is the nature of this war."
The same principle applies to America.
Some Leftists are – quite literally – saying that people on the
Right are not human. Consider the latest pejorative term I’ve
seen: Trumpanzees.
Even on the Left, some are starting
to see this very disturbing trend (two quotes,
bolding added).
“I see increasing numbers of so-called liberals cheering
censorship and defending violence as a response to speech. I see
seemingly reasonable people wishing death on others and
laughing at escalating suicide and addiction rates of the white
working class. I see liberal think pieces written in opposition to
expressing empathy or civility in interactions with those with whom
we disagree. I see 63 million Trump voters written off as
“nazis” who are okay to target with physical violence.”
and
“How easy is it for ordinary humans to commit atrocious acts?
History teaches us it’s pretty damn easy when you are blinded to
your own hypocrisy. When you believe you are morally superior,
when you have dehumanized those you disagree with, you can justify
almost anything. In a particularly vocal part of the left,
justification for dehumanizing and committing violence against those
on the right has already begun.”
So let me take one of the quotes from
above and edit it, only substituting Conservatives for Jews,
and in one place Democrats for Nazis:
"Don't be fooled. this has not been an accidental strategy.
It has a clear purpose. The purpose is not criticism of Conservatives
nor a discussion of the issues; the purpose is to paint Conservatives
as the ultimate evil. These words are chosen because they have become
associated in the global mindset with evil. If Conservatives are the
ultimate evil, then shouldn't people of good will do something to
make sure that that evil is erased from the face from of the earth?
Even the Democrats were convinced they were doing something good.
Their minds had been prepared to such an extent that they believed
that by eliminating Conservatives, they were in fact serving the
world; doing something good for the world, ridding it of a disease.
So, if you think about it and history, the greatest atrocities have
been preceded by the preparation of people's minds. This is what
we're seeing today. This is the nature of this war."
I would submit, for your approval, that
the above altered paragraph is precisely what we are seeing in
today’s Leftist rhetoric.
Conclusion 3: The Left is
conceptually laying the groundwork for mass purges and genocide of
those who don’t agree with them; they have been doing so
deliberately, and for decades.
AND WE’RE WAKING UP
People on the Right are also grasping
that this is no longer a difference between fellow Americans, which
we are – thank G-d – free to have thanks to our Founding Fathers
and the Constitution. Instead, it’s dawning
on us that they want bloody confrontation:
“Because these people want to kill you. They want a civil
war. They proudly
admit to be preparing for it.”
And not just preparing for it,
individuals and groups are skirmishing
for what I would argue is practice. Here
is a scratch-the-surface list of attacks by the Left on people with
whom they disagree. And this
goes way back – recall that Obama’s “some guy in the
neighborhood days” and his group openly discussing liquidating
conservatives by the metric f*ck-ton (note that the video interview
where he states the below excerpt has been removed because it’s
“hate speech”) (bolding added):
“I asked, well, what is going to happen to those people that we
can’t reeducate that are diehard capitalists and the reply was that
they’d have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further they
estimated that they would have to eliminate 25 million people in
these reeducation centers. And when I say eliminate I mean kill –
25 million people. I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25
people most of which have graduate degrees from Columbia and other
well known educational centers and hear them figuring out the
logistics for the elimination of 25 million people and they were dead
serious.”
Conclusion 4: They’re openly
discussing, and some are getting ready for (and, again, have been
planning for some time), a final solution to the Conservative
problem.
WHEN THE BALLOON GOES UP
First, let me acknowledge that there is
no form of human communication where something can be so clearly
stated it cannot be misunderstood. However, let me try:
I do not want a civil war. I do not
want to take up arms against my fellow countrymen. I have had many
discussions over the years with people with whom I disagree.
Usually, we’ve ended the discussion with some form of “We’ll
agree to disagree,” while I concede that on occasion I’ve changed
my mind on something. And that is how it should be. We discuss,
debate, argue, disagree, but share our common American-ness and
commitment to settling our differences in a peaceful way.
I no longer see that happening. I
don’t even see how we can separate peacefully – not that I don’t
want to, but remember – as frontpagemag’s
David Horowitz has said – these people are missionaries.
Even if we separate into two (or more) separate countries, they will
metastasize into “our side”. They have a long game plan, a
religious fervor for their ideology, and they absolutely will not
stop, ever, until we’ve been converted or liquidated.
Somehow, that sounds familiar.
When it starts, and I say when with a
pain in my heart at what is about to happen to my country (and again,
I don’t want this) have this firmly in your mind – because if we
lose it’s concentration camps on a scale Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot
could only have dreamt of. When it starts the gloves
better come off.
One does not compromise with cancer,
or negotiate with gangrene – you fight and win, or you die.
CLOSING THE CIRCLE
Let us return to that jail cell. In
the cell, Cloud William speaks for the first time; Kirk is shocked
and asks why he never spoke before. Cloud William’s reply, about
the Kohms – short for the Communists that had won in their quest to
conquer – needs to become our motto in the war-to-come:
We do not talk to
Kohms; they are only for killing.
