The Big Lie.

This essay won’t change anything. But it needs writing on the chance it stimulates one mind.

Some Americans who have lived long enough will agree that America is sick. She was sick for many decades before Barak Obama came along and fed Her arsenic, and before J. Biden stumbled his way into the WH to stimulate inflation, human trafficking and the distribution of fentanyl. But, thankfully, America’s damaged immune system still has potency. And, thankfully, healing isn’t a bit complicated. Difficult perhaps. Even painful. But simple. You make Her well by deciding to make Her well. By deciding to change the things that make Her sick. By deciding to adopt treatment that restores Her health. America can’t cure everything simultaneously. But you can help make a start by exposing the most visible sickness — The Big Lie. That Lie says Black America is in the grip of systemic racism. That Lie is perpetrated, not by ordinary Black Americans, but by leaders. These leaders of all stripes reside in government, at universities, in college and professional sport and in major corporations — coalesced by a mendacious media. The Lie is marketed under the banners of Black Lives Matter, Equal Rights, Cancel Culture, DEI, CRT and a number of other political identities. The Lie aims squarely at White American males. The Lie demands Social Justice. The Lie points its accusing finger. At whom, Matilda? Just who are the White enemies of Black America? Just who obstructs Social Justice? Which Congressman or Senator or President or Supreme Court Justice or political candidate will stand on the mountain and name the individual names, the groups, the mobs, the leaders of White America who are systemically racist? Which College Professor will publish a paper that exposes by name the White Americans who scorn Black Americans? Which Black or White Head Coach or Athlete will stand in the middle of an arena and unmask the White racist parents, school administrators, team owners and fans? When will corporate execs who embrace WOKE ideology point accusing fingers at the Most Wanted Racists? For Pete’s sake, call out the White bastards.

Just who are the enemies of Black America?

The last time you looked, you didn’t see a White mob burn down a city because a Black thug murdered a White person. You haven’t heard one White American demand that DEI must be implemented for every college or professional sport — to demand that all team rosters must be at least 50% White. The last time you looked, stadiums are filled with White fans who cheer Black athletes. On hundreds of occasions, majority White audiences endorse Black American candidates who strangely embody America’s values expressed in The Constitution.

Just who are the enemies of Black America?

You are not a statistician. But it could make sense to use the tried and true Process of Elimination. First, rule out women of any race. They are a minority that has been on the equality warpath for years; and so identify with other minorities who suffer alleged discrimination. Excluding them eliminates 170+MM —  half the country.  You have to exclude  Black American males. That’s about 21 MM.  The Educational System at all levels represents millions of people who push the goals of Social Justice. Boomer II, Generation X & Y represent millions of Americans whose ages are sympathetic with racial equity. The medical communities, entertainment communities and ethnic minorities are populated by majorities who support Black America and must be ruled out. The Depression Era cohort and WWII cohort, 20+MM strong,  plus White male retirees are dropping like flies — they are in no position to be actively racist. Plus, 22% of the population is under 17 years of age.

Just who are the enemies of Black America?

The combination of all females, Black, Hispanic and Asian men, miscellaneous ethnic groups, the dying generations and the kids come to to just about everyone, although online sites claim there are at least 40MM healthy, White adult males raising racist hell in America.  By contrast, your recent in-depth study of this population clearly proves that nearly all but a handful have long since abandoned any animosity toward Black Americans. This conclusion is absolutely confirmed by witnessing Black and White Americans appearing happily together in TV advertising and programming. In no way can redneck workers, white collar workers, cops, wealthy philanthropists, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, business owners, billionaires, brokers, contractors, Republican Governors and Preachers be considered threats to the advancement of Black America.

Just who are the enemies of Black America?

Which leaves you to confess that you and a few diehard racist friends and Donald Trump are incomprehensibly responsible for creating nothing less than racist havoc throughout America. But everything must come to an end. The members of your tiny racist cell have promised to keep KKK robes locked in cedar chests at the far corners of their attics. As for Donald, be might want to appear on The View and sweet talk Whoopi.

Happily, this expert analysis is reason for optimism. White male racists have all but disappeared. No need to round them up to join the Jan 6 crowd of Whiteys locked away in maximum security prisons. After all, somebody has to work the farms,  factories and highways. Somebody has to generate electricity, repair machines, build homes and unstop toilets. Leave it to former racists.

Meanwhile, you must move on to other illnesses that threaten America’s health. The Southern border seems to need immediate attention. You will address that illness soon.

And God willing,  the remedies won’t be rooted in systemic racism.

Feel God’s Pleasure.

December 25.

Christ was born on this day, according to experts. But the precise day doesn’t matter, does it? Like almost all Christians, you invest time in decorating, social engaging and attending church to honor Him and spread Christmas cheer. Primarily, it’s family time, as are other occasions that bring together loved ones. You want to think that Christ remains at the center of your mind during the Christmas season. But that notion isn’t true, is it? Away from church worship and from other spiritual symbols, He is not in the forefront of your conscious thought. And even when He is, the thought is fleeting, elusive, shrouded in mystery. The Church doesn’t help. Church rituals and church clerics routinely present Christ as a 24-7 Teacher, tending His flock during a 3-year ministry. You never meet Christ the person. Common sense screams at you that He slept, awakened, attended to His personal needs, sustained his energy with meals; and most of all engaged in conversation that had nothing to do with preaching, healing or counseling. In His goings and comings, was He opposed to “passing the time of day?” Likely not. On the way to the fish market, did He pass an acquaintance and say, “Hey, Caleb, nice to see you. Heard you brought in a big catch yesterday.” When He sat with one or more of His disciples, did they talk about their jobs, about women, about sports, about the Roman bullies?” Did the Lord say, “Man, I can’t help you with the ladies; I can’t understand them myself.” Christ was young, certainly by today’s standards. You can’t believe He spent his waking hours shuffling about like an old man, as depicted in film. You can’t imagine He didn’t run, didn’t swim,  didn’t exert Himself physically in many other ways; plus have a few laughs among close friends. But in His final days, according to Biblical accounts, He did exhibit His humanity — His sorrow and fear — of crucifixion — and as a human being, why not? Nails through the ankles and somewhere in the vicinity of the wrists and eventual suffocation was a common, sadistic execution, expressly reserved for slave or anyone else not Roman. Christ gave Himself up to the governing powers. He didn’t sail off to another land, change His appearance, lay low and give His ministry a rest. No, He stood fast, condemned by his own Pharisee chums — the Jewish High Command who ran the show and hated Him. They “found” false witnesses, fabricated false charges and essentially railroaded Him to Governor Pilate’s courthouse (Luke 23:1,2).* Jesus offered no defense, made no accusations and made no denials. He told His followers to stand down and basically instructed them to “love your enemies.” Who does that? Who does that? For sure, not Donald Trump — a man shunned and often betrayed by his own party, accused of inciting insurrection and all manner of false crimes. Unlike Christ Jesus, however, Donald wants to nail the bad guys. Still, bear in mind that Pilate crucified Jesus, not the Jews — who didn’t crucify anyone. They in fact chose stoning as their default mode of capital punishment. Over 2000 years removed from the savagery of Christ’s crucifixion, it’s easy to pass it off as myth. And it’s even easier to assume that if Christ was divine — if He indeed was the Son of God — He would be superhuman, empowered supernaturally to mentally and physically endure His torment. The brutal truth is He suffered beyond comprehension, as any mortal would. He suffered willingly. Suffering was His final lesson. He had to die. He chose to die. For you. Therefore, on this day, on any day, please exercise your deepest imagination and put yourself in His place. Give Him a full, uninterrupted hour of your time to feel his suffering and do your level best — to live a life worthy of it  — and in doing so, feel God’s pleasure.

A Worthy Life: Eric Liddell (1902-1945) was a missionary and Olympic Gold Medalist. His sister always felt he let running interfere with his singular devotion to God. Liddell was alleged* to have said to her: “Jennie, I believe God made me for a purpose . . . and he made me fast . . . and when I run, I feel his pleasure. **

* The ADL and  other organizations argue that the Jews were in no way complicit in the crucifixion of Jesus. Opinions on this issue vary widely and should all be taken into consideration.

** Most likely, Liddle’s movie dialogue wasn’t real, but his devotion was. No one questioned that he ran for God.

You Decide.

In this age of rampant corruption and criminality, casting blame gets to be a habit. In return, you risk being condemned for having the conceit to pass judgment. So be it. Your verdict is in. The guilty don’t bother hiding in the shadows. The evidence against them eradicates all reasonable doubt. The guilty are America’s enemies — individuals, political parties, federal agencies, clubs, groups, syndicates, etc. Together, they represent  a tiny minority among 340+ million inhabitants — but still a minority that numbers in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions. But there is one enemy — one dominate enemy — that hovers over America as Her most dangerous adversary — the adversary responsible for corrupting Her basic principles. Malicious and malignant, Legacy Media is that enemy. No one should be surprised that Media is politically left of center, especially since the 1960’s. Journalism has always attracted social activists who have a natural aversion to pure capitalism, preferring socialism that destroys the independent middle class. Media has always favored the Democrat Party. But when Barack Obama stepped into the ring, political favoritism morphed into outright idolatry and Media became the mouthpiece of the Democrat Party, no different from Russia’s state-owned RT(TV) and Sputnik (news agency). The Democrat Party is America’s de facto Socialist Party.

You intended to list the well-known evidence proving that Media is the unapologetic puppet of the Socialist Party. But why beat a dead horse? Proof isn’t truth — not to fools. Instead, you turn to certain Fodder excerpts from March 2023. Paddy Chayefsky’s screenplay for Network was released in 1976/77. Was the late Chayefsky a visionary, able to foresee a traitorous Biden? More spectacularly — did Paddy predict ]  Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum (WEF)?

You decide. Decide the comparison between 1976 and 2023.

Howard Beale.
“. . . .when (Legacy Media) is the most awesome goddamned propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth . . . ? So, listen to me. Television is not the truth! Television is a goddamned amusement park . . . a circus, a carnival . . .a traveling troupe of story-tellers, singers . . . side-show freaks, and football players. . . . If you want truth, go to God; go to your guru, go to yourself,  because that’s the only place you’ll ever find any real truth . . . you’re never going to get any truth from us. We tell you anything . . . we lie like hell . . .We’ll tell you any shit you want to hear. We deal in illusion. None of it is true. But you people sit there — all of you — day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds — You believe (the) illusion we’re spinning . . . You do whatever (we) tell you. You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you think like the tube. This is mass madness, you maniacs! In God’s name, you people are the real thing.  The tube is the illusion. . . . .”

You decide — is WEF  a serious, decades-old conspiracy?

Arthur Jensen
“There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and interwoven, interacting, multi-variate, multi-national dominion of dollars . . . petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rubles, yauns and pounds. It is the international system of currency that determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things . .  you . . . howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only (Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street) IBM . . . and Exxon. These are the nations of the world today. . . . We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations. You will live to see that perfect world in which there is no war and famine, oppression and brutality — one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused.”

You decide if the threat to you and America’s Constitution is real.

Howard Beale
“The people spoke . . .(we saw)a radiant eruption of democracy. That sort of thing isn’t likely to happen again. Because, in the bottom of all our terrified souls, we all know that democracy is a dying giant, a sick, sick dying, decaying political concept, writhing in its final pain. I don’t mean the United States is finished as a world power. The United States is the most powerful . . .most advanced country in the world . . . I don’t mean the Communists are going to take over the world. What’s finished is the idea that this great country is dedicated to the freedom and flourishing of every individual in it. It’s the
individual that’s finished. It’s the single, solitary human being who’s finished. It’s every single one of you out there who’s finished. Because this is no longer a nation of independent individuals. This is a nation of (335-odd) million digitized, deodorized . . .bodies, totally unnecessary as human beings and as replaceable as piston rods — Well, the time has come to say: Is transhumanism such a bad word? Because good or bad, that’s what’s so. The whole world is becoming humanoid, creatures that look human but aren’t. The whole world, not just us. We’re just the most advanced country, so we’re getting there first — The whole world’s . . .becoming mass-produced, programmed, wired, insensate things, useful only to produce and consume other mass-produced things, all of them as unnecessary and useless as we are —— that’s the simple truth you have to grasp, that human existence is an utterly futile and purposeless thing — because once you’ve grasped that, then the whole universe becomes orderly and comprehensible . . . This world quite simply is a vast cosmology of small corporations orbiting around larger corporations who, in turn, revolve around giant corporations . . . expressly designed for the production and consumption of useless things. . .

If Legacy Media were loyal to the Constitution and committed to Truth, would you be living under corrupt governance and would you view the world with suspicion and fear? You decide.

Rather than inform the public and hold the government accountable, broadcasting outlets in Russia offer a pro-Kremlin version of the news. When foreign media coverage of Russian leaders or their policies is unfavorable, Russian state-media use disinformation to influence opinion.

ShareAmerica is the U.S. Department of State’s platform for sharing compelling stories and images about American society, culture, and life, and about the principles that underlie our nation’s foreign policy and engagement with the world.

In his memoirs, G. Gordon Liddy wrote: “The purpose of the second Watergate break-in was to find out what (Democrat Part Chairman Larry) O’Brien had of a derogatory nature about us, not for us to get something on him or the Democrats.”
