<li>Those who claim these deplatformings and bannings are not censorship "because private corporations" are being disingenuous. A corporation is not an actual person, it is a government entity that is deemed "a juristic person" by the government. Corporations are not people, they have no unalienable rights, and it is long past time for the people to begin reining them in.<br><br>
<li>Governments won't let you leave Big Tech, and create your own spaces. The solutions to "hate speech," "missinformation," "fake news," all require Big Tech to stay big because only the very largest companies can afford to implement the systems these laws demand. <br><br>
<li>Establishment Republicans. They are like the Washington Generals. They are patsies for the Harlem Globetrotters.<br><br>
<li>Leftist elites and their minions are going to find out Trump wasn’t protecting us from them. It was protecting them from us. And their escalating the repressive measures and getting the potted plant to declare us thought criminals is only going make things worse.<br><br>
<li>What is the point of trying to maintain the Union with people who wish to "re-educate" you?<br><br>
<li>Facebook Suspends Ron Paul Following Column Criticizing Big Tech Censorship: By suspending Ron Paul, it becomes clear that ‘safety’ may not be Big Tech’s primary goal.<br><br>
<li>We can all agree that because Congressman Steve Scalise's attempted assassin was radicalized by the teachings of Rachel Maddow, Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi, they and their followers should be banned.<br><br>
<li>I'm old enough to remember when the Internet wasn't a group of five websites, each consisting of screenshots of text from the other four.<br><br>
<li>The, "If you don't like it go make your own" idea is now dead. The elites have now said, "What, we didn't mean for you to actuall make your own. You can't do that, you have to use what we control."<br><br>
<li)Hosting Parlor on AWS makes about as much sense as the USA hosting the UN.
Oh,wait...<br><br>
<li>The formation ofthe USA, with the first words of our constitution "We the People" was a slap in the face to the our ruling betters. Since then they have been trying to wipe out the idea that you should have the liberty to determine how you should live. They can't (and obviously won't) allow true indipendent people to be elected. It's now to the point they can, and have, rigged the election results and expect you to accept them. <br><br>
<li>When the alleged victor is scared enough to want to silence everyone else? It’s bad. They’re scared. They are also nearly invincibly stupid.<br><br>
<li>The First Amendment protects against government censorship. But in 2020, most political debate happens on large social-media platforms. Facebook and Twitter are the modern public square. Thus, if our society’s commitment to free speech is to have any meaning, our government must constrain large social-media companies from censoring Americans’ lawful speech.<br><br>
<li>Poland protects freedom of speech better than the USA. Their Justice Minister, Zbigniew Ziobro, announced last month that the Polish government would enact a law constraining Big Tech from censoring their citizens. Polish users who are victims of censorship can go to a new Polish court, get an injunction forcing the company to restore their account and their content, on penalty of a fine of as much as 1.8 million euros.<br><br>
<li>The destruction of the freedom of speech in America today is being carried out by the Leftist establishment that dominates the political sphere, the social media giants, the establishment media, the educational system. The Left is using the Capitol riot of January 6 as its Reichstag Fire moment to criminalize, silence, and destroy utterly not just President Trump, but all Americans who still dare to oppose its sinister woke totalitarianism.<br><br>
<li>The Establishment has decided to address the grievances of people who feel disenfranchised, silenced, and subjected to double standards with much more disenfranchisement, silencing, and double standards.2Bfreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303405885623088186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694644156867084372.post-4792899842449779062021-01-08T08:50:00.004-05:002021-01-08T08:50:57.783-05:00Civil War II Has Advanced to the Next StageBy Tom Rhodes, 1/8/2021<br>

I'm afraid it's only just begun. The left has openly said that rioting and looting is acceptable when you don't get your way. Not sure they will like it when the normals say, "OK, we'll play by your rules and see how you like it."<br><br>AOC endorsed the storming of the capital, tweeting this on 12/6/2020<br>
<blockquote>What if activists aren’t PR firms for politicians & their demands are bc police budgets are exploding, community resources are shrinking to bankroll it, & ppl brought this up for ages but it wasn’t until they said 'defund' that comfortable people started paying attn to brutality.</blockquote>
She continued with:
<br>
<blockquote>The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable. Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows. To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable... that’s the point.</blockquote>
Now AOC's communications director is currently trying to get Twitter to ban users from noting AOC's support of violent BLM and Antifa riots. You almost have to marvel at how unashamedly Orwellian and totalitarian these people are.<br><br>We have watched the elites be silent or given approval to rioting, destruction of private property and the harming of innocent people under the auspices of achieving “justice”. Why are they shocked when normals decided that their concerns over injustice warrant a similar response?<br><br>If you claim that the system is irrevocably rigged, racist, sexist, bigoted, you do not get to then turn around and appeal honor that same system for the peaceful adjudication of problems.<br><br>This is exactly what the left in positions of influence have done; condemning the system as corrupt when it suits their purpose, and then calling that same system to be followed when they approve of the outcomes.

I doubt anybody will notice but this as a repeat of my 2010 Thanksgiving article</font></em><br />
<br />
As you know the original colony to Plymouth celebrated thanksgiving with the Indians in November of 1623. The Pilgrims arrived in December of 1621, and began their colony as a commune, and organized their farm economy along communal lines. The goal was to share the work and produce equally. This experiment again proved what the ancient Greeks observed eons before. As Aristotle wrote, "That which is common to the greatest number has the least care bestowed upon it."<br />
<br />
<img src=http://home.acceleration.net/clark/COOL938/Email.Essays/Abundance_02.jpg width=95% height=95%><br />
<br />
The Pilgrims faked illness rather than working the common property. Some even stole, despite their Puritan convictions. The result was as winter of 1622 set in, they did not have enough food and provisions set for the winter and famine and privation ran rampant by the spring of 1623 only 5 women had survived. Gov. William Bradford wrote in his diary, "So as it well appeared that famine must still ensue the next year also, if not some way prevented.<br />
<br />
The problem is that when people can get the same return with less effort, most people make less effort. This was an early harsh and historically repeated lesson that socialism and communism result in less production even to the point of starvation. Thus again proving that the rules set to us by God are best to live by. <a href=http://tinyurl.com/24lfwz7>2 Thessalonians 3:6-15</a><br />
<br />
Later of the colonists, Bradford said, they "began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery. At length after much debate of things, (I with the advice of the chiefest among them) gave way that they should set corn every man for his own particular, and in that regard trust to themselves. And so assigned to every family a parcel of land. . . This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been. By this time harvest was come, and instead of famine, now God gave them plenty, and the face of things was changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many." <br />
<br />
Because of the change, the first Thanksgiving could be held in November 1623. Because of the abundance the Pilgrims not only were able to feed themselves, but to take care of those among them who try as they might failed to do so. It was private charity that took care of those less fortunate.<br />
<br />
Thanksgiving is clear proof and evidence of the triumph of private property, connecting effort to reward, demonstrating that when everything is “shared equally” it incentivizes each person to contribute as little as possible to get their “equal” share. Whereas with every pilgrim given private property produced abundance which they could then trade with others for things they lacked. The free mutual exchange for mutual benefit makes the entire community richer.<br />
<br />
We should all be thankful that we do not have to learn the lessons of protecting private property in the same deadly way that the pilgrims. Thanksgiving is the quintessential American holiday, copied by many other countries; it is a polar opposite of May Day. On Thanksgiving, we celebrate the fall of communism and are thankful for the abundance God provides through the free market.2Bfreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303405885623088186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694644156867084372.post-28837253589629289612020-11-08T05:47:00.008-05:002020-11-08T05:47:56.206-05:00HomeJoe Biden’s votes violate Benford’s Law (Mathematics) Joe Biden’s votes violate Benford’s Law (Mathematics)<p>By <span class="author-name" style="color: #222222; display: inline-block; font-family: roboto, PingFang, "Microsoft JhengHei", "noto sans sc", "noto sans tc", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; width: 628.391px;"><a href="https://gnews.org/author/aujenny/" itemprop="author" style="color: #2457a5; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in-out 0s; word-break: break-word;">Himalaya Australia</a></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: roboto, PingFang, "Microsoft JhengHei", "noto sans sc", "noto sans tc", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span class="date" itemprop="datePublished" style="color: #222222; display: inline-block; font-family: roboto, PingFang, "Microsoft JhengHei", "noto sans sc", "noto sans tc", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0.8em; width: 628.391px;"><br /><img alt="" class="wp-image-534249" src="https://gnews-media-offload.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/07004505/benfords-law.png" style="height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></span></p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="color: #222222; font-family: roboto, PingFang, "Microsoft JhengHei", "noto sans sc", "noto sans tc", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><figcaption style="margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 0.5em;">Source of image: <a data-id="https://bit.ly/35342QS" data-type="URL" href="https://bit.ly/35342QS" style="color: #2457a5; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.25s ease-in-out 0s; word-break: break-word;" target="_blank">Twitter</a></figcaption></figure><p style="color: #222222; font-family: roboto, PingFang, "Microsoft JhengHei", "noto sans sc", "noto sans tc", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 32px; margin-top: 2em;">As the vote counting for the 2020 Presidential Election continues, various facts suggest rampant frauds in Joe Biden’s votes.

<p></p>
<p>Liberal masters and overseers took the whip to a few saucy runaways who had the gumption to think they could escape the Democrats’ ideological plantation. The public whippings are designed to make other slaves think twice about thinking for themselves. </p><div class="thm-piano-mop"></div>
<p>Whenever high-profile intellectual slaves flee the plantation, gaggles of barking bloodhounds track them down, threaten them, and use intimidation and extreme defamation to drag them back home. It’s become an unwritten Fugitive Slave Act used to perpetuate the left’s peculiar institution: intellectual slavocracy. </p>
<p>Intellectual slaves are people who hide their true convictions for fear of retribution from ideological slave masters and overseers. They’re given unbridled freedom on political issues as long as they stay within plantation boundaries. Overstep those boundaries, and you get a beating. No exceptions. No excuses. No escape.</p>
<p>Three of the most daring escapes were attempted recently by three rappers: Curtis James “50 Cent” Jackson III, O’Shea “Ice Cube” Jackson, and Dwayne Michael “Lil Wayne” Carter, Jr. They all got whipped, but their reactions to the beatings were different: <em>Cold</em> (50 Cent), <em>lukewarm</em> (Ice Cube) and <em>hot</em> (Lil Wayne).</p>
<p>50 Cent read that Joe Biden’s tax plan would confiscate 62 percent of his income. His gut reaction?</p>
<p>“WHAT THE F***! (VOTE ForTRUMP) IM OUT,” 50 Cent wrote in one of several <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/10/20/50-cent-backs-trump-i-dont-want-to-be-20cent-under-biden/">tweets. </a> “I don’t care [if] Trump doesn’t like Black people 62% are you out of ya f****** mind [?],” ... I don’t want to be 20cent.”</p><div class="aside-wrapper pr">
<p>For as long as it took to send that tweet, 50 Cent inhaled the exhilarating air of freedom. But as he was exhaling, plantation bottom-feeders unleashed the bloodhounds. </p>
<p>“I had to remind him (50 Cent) that he was a black person,” said ex-girlfriend <a href="https://twitter.com/50cent/status/1320184040654295040?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1320397032545112064%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3%2Ccontainerclick_1&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.justjared.com%2F2020%2F10%2F26%2F50-cent-is-now-cursing-out-trump-after-saying-hes-voting-for-him-chelsea-handler-is-in-his-mentions-again%2F">Chelsey Handler</a> on the Tonight Show. “So he can’t vote for Donald Trump, and that he shouldn’t be influencing an entire swath of people who may listen to him because he’s worried about his own personal pocketbook.” </p>
<p>Others called 50 Cent a sellout and vowed to boycott his <em>Power</em> TV crime series.</p>
<p>“We won’t forget you sold us out even after the election,” said one tweet. “G Unit gear is trash … as well. Boycott all this waster does.”</p>
<p>The whippings worked. 50 Cent went cold. After less than a week as a fugitive, he ran back to slave territory. Rather than saying what he really thinks, he now thinks what slavers want him to think. </p>
<p>“Fu*k Donald Trump,” 50 Cent <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/50-cent-fk-donald-trump-after-support-president">tweeted</a>. “I never liked him …” He also blasted Lil Wayne for tweeting a picture of himself with Trump, <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/50-cent-rips-lil-wayne-taking-picture-trump-says-he-wouldnt-have-agreed-photo-op-1543398">writing</a>: “I WOULD HAVE NEVER TOOK THIS PICTURE.”</p>
<p>OK, Curt. Say what you have to. But when you vote, go with your gut. </p>
<p>The verdict is still out on whether O’Shea “Ice Cube” Jackson remains a free thinker. That’s been challenged. Over the years, he’s authored a bombardment of angry, uneducated anti-Trump invectives – many too vile to repeat – but at least they were his genuine thoughts.</p>
<p>“I will never endorse a mothafu*ka like Donald Trump! EVER!!” he tweeted back in 2016. That was before Trump delivered unprecedented results to the black community; results that may have forced the rapper to rethink the media’s voodoo doll version of Trump.</p>
<p>Ice Cube met with Trump’s people in stealth mode, but plantation hounds soon picked up a scent that he had run off. Word spread that he was “working with Trump” to incorporate some of his “Black Contract With America” into the administration’s Platinum Plan.</p>
<p>Plantation overseer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUPEKzkGR_E&feature=emb_logo">D.L. Hughley</a>, a virulent Trump-hater, said the rapper is not qualified to speak for blacks; that he’s in over his head; and that by working with the president, he’ll end up killing his career because Trump “uses black people as props” and throws them away once he’s done.</p>
<p>Ice Cube gave Hughley the middle finger.</p>
<p>Others called Ice Cube a “sellout,” an “Uncle Tom,” a “coon” and denounced him for going to the “Darkside.”</p>
<p>So Ice Cube blitzed multiple media outlets to set the record straight. In nearly every interview, Ice Cube’s “Black Contract” took a backseat to reporters poking and prodding to see whether he had warmed up to Trump. He never confessed.</p>
<p>“I’m not playing politics with this,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUgzHvDBafE">he said</a>. “I’m willing to meet with <em>anybody</em> who could bring this to life and make it a reality.” </p> <div class="mpw-inline-col">
<p>OK O’Shea. But if you’ve warmed up to Trump and won’t say so because of the whippings, you’re not thinking freely. Taking the middle road will never be enough for these thought tyrants. So if you’ve had a “Malcolm X moment” that you’re keeping to yourself for fear of the thought masters, you’re still shackled to <a href="https://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/barrowrules.htm">plantation rules</a>.</p>
<p>Of the three rappers, Dwayne Michael “Lil Wayne” Carter, Jr. was the only fugitive to make a clean getaway. After tweeting a picture of himself with Trump, praising his performance, and saying he’s “a really nice guy,” thought masters pulled out the whip and regurgitated the usual litany of threats and epithets. So far, he’s still off the plantation.</p>
<p>But Lil Wayne has a history of jeopardizing the security of the plantation.m He’s said that <em>all</em> police shouldn’t be blamed for what <em>one</em> policeman did to cause George Floyd’s death. In <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r5KFAeujww">another interview</a>, he shared a story about how a white policeman saved his life when he was 12 – a cop he affectionally calls “Uncle Bob.” </p>
<p>“I don’t know what racism is …” he said. “I have never witnessed racism.”</p>
<p>He’s also <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6mBZSQdGCE">said</a> that the name Black Lives Matter makes no sense to him and that the group has nothing to do with him because he’s rich.</p>
<p>While it may seem small in the grand scheme of things, the rappers’ gesture toward Trump is signaling that a watershed moment is coming for the abolition of black intellectual slavocracy. The turning point for all three rappers came after they focused more on the real-life implications of policies, rather than on personalities or party politics.</p>
<p>When blacks begin to do that in droves, public whippings will not be enough to keep them shackled to the infantile policies of the Democrats’ ideological plantation.</p>2Bfreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303405885623088186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694644156867084372.post-43077273351969128842020-10-21T05:30:00.010-04:002020-10-21T05:32:44.012-04:00First You Lose Your PharmaciesBut <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/san-frans-new-normal-third-walgreens-year-closing-due-rampant-shoplifting">the decivilizational process won't stop</a> until the toilets no longer function:
<blockquote>The effects of allowing chaos to prevail in liberal run cities across America might not be obvious to liberals now, but when their cities empty out completely, it's going to become crystal clear. Such is the case in San Francisco, where the city's new normal of shoplifting and chaos has driven another Walgreens pharmacy out of the city.
<p>The move to close the Walgreens at Van Ness and Eddy came after "months of seeing its shelves repeatedly cleaned out by brazen shoplifters", according to the SF Chronicle. The location served "many older people" who lived in the area.
<p>One customer told the paper: "All of us knew it was coming. Whenever we go in there, they always have problems with shoplifters."
<p>The same customer photographed someone in the store, days prior, "clearing a couple shelves and placing the goods into a backpack". Because when there's no police and politicians are afraid to enforce the law - why not?
<p>The penalty for shoplifting is a "nonviolent misdemeanor" that carries a maximum sentence of 6 months. But in most cases, for simple shoplifting, the criminal is simply released with conditions.
<p>The customer, who lives a block away, said: “I feel sorry for the clerks, they are regularly being verbally assaulted. The clerks say there is nothing they can do. They say Walgreens’ policy is to not get involved. They don’t want anyone getting injured or getting sued, so the guys just keep coming in and taking whatever they want.”
<p>When the Chronicle went to visit the store, they noticed "aisle after aisle of near empty shelves" and said that beauty products seemed to be a favored target. While the Chronicle was in the store, a man with a mask on walked in, emptied two shelves into a bag and walked out the door.
<p>When they asked a clerk where all the products were, the clerk responded: “Go ask the people in the alleys, they have it all.”
<p>Walgreen corporate commented: “Organized retail crime in San Francisco has increased the challenge for all retail, and Walgreens is not immune to that.”
<p>This location is the third Walgreens to close in the city over the past year.
</blockquote>
The benefits of Christian civilization are not a given. Technological progress does not rely solely on knowledge, but also on societal character. Abandon Christianity, and you'll eventually find yourself living like the pagans did prior to Christendom.

Nothing about the biology of the virus or our discovery of it has changed in the past few months that would lead us to believe that masks are somehow more effective against it than they are against the spread of other respiratory viruses. <div>
<br br="" />Masks don't work, after being made mandatory in the UK, cases went up not down. <a href="https://twitter.com/latimeralder/status/1304408454296211457">LINK</a> </div><div><br br="" />
The CDC, as late as May, was citing the 10 randomized controlled trials that showed "no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks." <a href="https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/5/19-0994_article#tnF2">LINK</a> </div><div><br br="" />
The Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford also summarized six international studies which "showed that masks alone have no significant effect in interrupting the spread of ILI or influenza in the general population, nor in healthcare workers." <a href="https://cebm.net/covid-19/masking-lack-of-evidence-with-politics/">LINK</a> </div><div><br br="" />
When Dr. Fauci spoke so assertively against universal mask-wearing early on in the epidemic, it was clearly based on this knowledge. "There's no reason to be walking around with a mask," infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci told "60 Minutes" on March 8. He went on to explain that masks can only block large droplets, they give a false sense of security, and they cause people to get more germs on their hands by fiddling with it. Those facts don't change with time. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRa6t_e7dgI">LINK</a> </div><div><br br="" />
Surgeon General Jerome Adams punctuated this point about the counterproductivity of wearing masks in public.Adams said that based on a study that shows medical students who wear masks touch their faces 23 times more often, one has to assume that "wearing a mask improperly can actually increase your risk of getting disease." <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/surgeon-general-explains-masks-public-coronavirus">LINK</a> </div><div><br br="" />
A 2015 randomized clinical trial from the University of South Wales testing the effectiveness of cloth masks among health care workers in Hanoi found that the poor filtration becomes a conduit for moisture retention. Researchers found a high rate of infection among those workers presumably because "their reuse and poor filtration may explain the increased risk of infection." Can you imagine how much worse this is in a non-health-care setting where reuse and cross-contamination are rampant? <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150422121724.htm">LINK</a> </div><div><br br="" />
There has been no RCT to disprove the science since Covid-19 started. NONE. If you're ignorant, a RCT is a Randomized Clinical Trial. </div><div>
<br br="" />If you can't point to a RCT to prove masks work, you are a science denier who has bought into a political like meant to condition you to be more controllable.<p> </p></div></div></div>2Bfreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303405885623088186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694644156867084372.post-23289042348232507642020-08-16T10:23:00.003-04:002020-08-16T10:36:41.947-04:00Prepare Yourself, Civil War II is Comingby Tom Rhodes, 8/16/2020
<p>Elitists Left are using BLM to undo the creation of the Middle class that started when those uppity colonialists dared to think they could rule themselves. I’ve written before that the very idea that the common man had the idea he could self-govern was a <a href="https://lpcitrus.blogspot.com/search?q=slap+in+the+face"><em><strong>Slap in the Face</strong></em> to elitists</a> who have been trying to squash that idea and put the masses back in their place. Where the common man got <a href="https://biblehub.com/nasb/psalms/49.htm">the idea that all men to be treated equal with no special considerations to rich or poor or whatever</a> must be squashed.
</p><p>It all started with that upstart Martin Luther, not MLK Jr. the original he and his daddy were named after, and that Gutenberg guy making it affordable for those outside the ruling elite to obtain a copy of and read for himself the Word of God. This resulted in the church breaking apart and the Protestant Reformation and an era called “<a href="https://infogalactic.com/info/Age_of_Enlightenment">the <em>Age of Enlightenment</em></a>,” look it up.
</p><p>You’ll note that the Age of Enlightenment coincides with them uppity colonialists spanking there betters and letting them know that they'll take care of themselves. Like I've said, the elites took this as a slap in the face. The big problem is they not only could, but did and in an historically short time became the most powerful nation in the world with fewer people in poverty than ever in history, outlawing slavery and creating a culture so generous they helped other poor nations. Embarrassing to all those who think the masses should be ruled. Rational elites recognized the reality of the common man rejecting the need of elites to rule them, and that putting Christianity into practice created modern “Western Civilization.” To put the common man back in his place, and take back their rule, they concluded that the root and foundations of this must be destroyed. That is what both the elites of the world, and those cultures that don’t embrace Christianity want, to “Fundamentally Change” the USA.
</p><p>To hide the fact that it is an attack on Christianity, they started by reframing the debate. The call it Bourgeois culture not Christianity. Look at what BLM is attacking, they are openly calling the values and beliefs of bourgeois culture <em>racist.</em> Saying openly that the American Dream is <em>racist.</em> The Atlantic says the <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/american-nightmare/612457/">American Dream is a Nightmare</a>. The reality is <em>minority</em> races have more freedom, a better standard of living, and more opportunity in the USA than anywhere in the world, because of, not despite the values of modern western civilization, aka bourgeois culture, or more properly Protestant Christianity.
</p><p>Two prominent economists (both black) don’t use the term bourgeois culture, or Christianity, or protestant work ethic. But they clearly note that those of all races who embrace the behaviors and values and expectations “white” bourgeois culture, the chances of being poor are slim. </p><blockquote><a href="https://winteryknight.com/2020/06/12/two-black-economists-explain-how-to-end-poverty-in-america-2/">No one can blame a person if he starts out in life poor, because how one starts out is not his fault.
<p>If he stays poor, he is to blame because it is his fault. Avoiding long-term poverty is not rocket science. First, graduate from high school. Second, get married before you have children, and stay married. Third, work at any kind of job, even one that starts out paying the minimum wage. And finally, avoid engaging in criminal behavior. It turns out that a married couple, each earning the minimum wage, would earn an annual combined income of $30,000<font size=""><em>(ed. twice the poverty level at the time it was written).</em></font>.</p></a></blockquote>To be clear, attacks by BLM attacks from Hollywood, are attacks on Christianity from both the top and the bottom. They are attacks on the middle class, which was created by embracing The Christ and humbly living by the words of Jesus and his disciples. Christianity calls for the people to takes care of the widows and orphans (the truly needy) but it also teaches that he who won’t work shall not eat. They not only don’t don’t understand Christian Middle Class culture they hate it. The top doesn’t what to have to voluntarily give their riches to take care of others who they believe should serve them, much less share in their moral values. Much of the bottom believes that it is chance, luck, or spite, not the ability, drive, and behavior of people that makes people prosperous or not. Both the top and the bottom don’t want to have to be held to bourgeois values, as they embrace not only the protestant work ethic, but expectations of charity, and morality.
<p>Embracing the American Dream includes embracing traditional middle class values and beliefs. Not all cultures accept these beliefs, and not having traditional protestant values does not bean a people or culture cannot be Christian, or good, or moral, or is better or inferior, different cultures are just that, different. What it does mean, as history has repeatedly shown, is that you cannot live in peace within a different culture that expects you to share those values.
</p><p>God separated man by tribe and language creating a very diverse humanity. He created nations of people who were different. Never in all of history have tribes (nations) been able to live together in peace. That’s probably one of the reasons why <a href="https://www.biblestudytools.com/bible-stories/the-tower-of-babel.html">He separated them</a>. You and I are confused and don’t understand how other cultures can believe and value what they believe and value (hence the meaning of the word babel). The white protestants who settled the USA, could not and did not adopt Native American Culture. In fact we crushed that culture and tried to change the Indian tribes to adopt our culture. Now only a fraction of it exists today. 300+ years of Native American and northern white Europeans living together has not created a single culture, it never will. It was hubris and sinful for Christian men to try and unify what God separated. Globalists today ignore all of human history and continue to try and undo God’s work, with similar results. Invading masses of people migrating to other places never adopt the native culture, they crush it, and force it to comply with theirs.
</p><p>It was a subset of Europeans that came to the USA and in reality didn’t form one homogeneous nation and culture. If you grew up and your family was many generations in New England, the people, language, values, and culture visiting Alabama feels foreign to you. People from NYC openly state those from fly over country are “un-cultured,” when reality is because they can’t understand other cultures, they look down on cultures other than their own. The USA started as 6 nations (13 states) held together by a common resistance to the Crown and being controlled by elites. All of which were held together by a common religion, protestant Christianity. The First Amendment exists because no single denomination of Christianity, could or would, be accepted by all the states. Quakers wouldn’t accept Methodism, etc. You know the reason they left England for the new world in the first place. Over time this federation adopted some other nations and is now around 11 nations and is starting to breaking up. Tribes (nations) have never long been able to live together under one rule unless forced, and even then it doesn’t last. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0052RDIZA/"> Woodard mapped out the regions in his 2012 book "American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America."</a>

The white Christian middle has repeatedly turned the other cheek for over half a century, and the current elites and those who don’t embrace the protestant work ethic, are thinking this is weakness, and that they can impose their will on the Christian American Middle Class. Guess what, they are wrong. The Christian American Middle Class is prudent and<i> <en>disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed, </en></i>but make no mistake <em>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.</em></p><p>God help those ruling elite, BLM, and other leftists aligned against middle America. If they push much more, We the People will withdrawn our consent to their anti-Christian, destructive rule. As it becomes obvious that they are abusing and usurping authority in what appears to be both the pursuit and objective of reducing our government to absolute despotism. We the People will take our Duty seriously and exercise our right <em>to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for our future security. </em>. The patience and suffering of the Christian Middle Class, can only be pushed so far, and others should be afraid if (when) we <em>determine that it is a necessity to alter our current system of government.</em>
</p><p>We are in the middle of a religious war, Satan has effectively taken control of the elites, the desperation by the exposure of their malfeasance is evident. Openly calling for the confiscation of middle class property and giving it to others who didn’t earn it, is evidence that they will not live in peace with Christian Middle Class America. Because Satan will not quit, the non-Christian elite and poor will not quit, and because We will not reject our God, and because we will not go gently into the night, there will be another Civil War, and it will be even more bloody than the last. It will not be in some distant future, it’s already started in anti-Christian strong holds, aka leftist controlled cities.

<br />
Right now the Deepstate News is working double time to keep you afraid, they are canceling any writer or reporter or editor or comedian or ... that doesn't support the Deepstate and leftist thought.<br />
<br />
They are using Covid-19 to gain power. Recognize that the Deepstate, and leftist groups talk about power, "empowering," etc. not about liberty or freedom, and seek to cancel those promoting liberty, especially the liberty to fail and responsibility to not force others to support your failure. <br />
<br />
Covid-19 is about keeping you afraid, the Deepstate Media Complex is trying to keep you afraid so they can control you. They are lying to do so. They can't (although they want to) control all the news and information from you. If they could you wouldn't be able to see these stories. The reason the Deepstate wants to control the media, censor youtube, and all non-main stream media, is because they can't control the narrative. The Deepstate is using corporate cronies, like google and FB to censor and try to silence ideas they don't want the masses to see. <br />
<br />
<a href=https://townhall.com/columnists/larryoconnor/2020/07/16/jack-dake-didnt-die-from-covid-but-the-government-says-he-did-n2572614>Long time suffer of Alzheimer's death with no evidence as Covid (My guess is because hospital makes more than 2X's as much when death is Covid related).</a><br />

Labs report 100% Positive for Covid</a><br />
<br />
The reason civics isn't taught is because it takes away power and control from the ruling elite. The First Three Words of the constitution starts off with a slap in the face to ruling elite, who want you to accept that others know best how you should live your life. <b><em>"We The People.."</em></b> The Declaration of Independence is worse as far as the Deepstate is concerned. The DOI rightly acknowledges that government is instituted to protect the <em>"unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness</em> of <b><em>"We The People"</em></b>, Clearly stating that <em>"whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, ... it is it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."</em> The Deepstate doesn't want our children to know that they have not only a right, but a <b><em>duty, to throw off the rule of their betters.</em></b><br />
<br />
Any group, party, company, that is talking about power not liberty and freedom, is your enemy. The USA was founded on the idea that we are given unalienable rights by our Creator. Those seeking to tear it down or fundamentally change it are doing so because they are against the Creator. They worship the destroyer. The Left-Right ideological struggle is not real. Even the Nationalist-Globalist conflict is essentially a proxy for the real war, which is spiritual; between the servants of the Creator God and the servants of the god of this world.<br />
<br />
This war began wen Adam first sinned, Western Civilization was founded on Christian ideas, it's success in creating a better life for more people than any other system of rule, who have been trying to end the very idea that <b><em>"We The People"</em></b> should not be ruled by our betters. <a href=https://lpcitrus.blogspot.com/2015/09/americas-not-christian-nation-and-im.html>The USA is a Christian Nation.</a> We are fighting the barbarians who want not only to destroy Western Civilization, but return to tribalism. Lying about Covid to keep you afraid, is just another tactic used by evil to battle in the endless war against God's people. The Idea of the USA, is that the USA is a distinct Christian Nation with a government created to protect the unalienable rights of it's people and their progeny, not an ATM for the world, not the world's police, not a nation to rule the world, but a Nation, one of many, that God created for His purpose. The Nation God created, he can and will tear apart and disperse the people as he has done throughout history when man rejects Him.<br />
<br />
Let’s not forget that John Stewart Mills in his treatise, On Liberty, said:<br />
<br />
"A civilization that can thus succumb to its vanquished enemy [barbarism] must first have become so degenerate, that neither its appointed priests and teachers, nor anybody else, has the capacity, or will take the trouble, to stand up for it. If this be so, the sooner such a civilization receives notice to quit, the better. It can only go on from bad to worse, until destroyed and regenerated (like the Western Empire) by energetic barbarians." 2Bfreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303405885623088186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694644156867084372.post-70592598121409121062020-07-10T06:43:00.001-04:002020-07-10T06:43:35.106-04:00It's About Power, not Truth, Science is Dead.By Tom Rhodes, 7/10/2020<br />
<br />
You'll note the left keeps talking about power, and empowering, etc. They never talk about, nor promote liberty and freedom. They are openly attacking freedom of speech, they want the left to be able to censor those who dare speak something the left doesn't approve, and completely cancel any who dare speak against the left.<br />
<br />
The hate free speech, as they realize the if they have the power to control speech, they have power over the masses. They don't want liberty, equality, and freedom for everybody equally, they simply want power.<br />
<br />
They have finally succeeded in ending valid scientific research. Getting scientists whose findings don't support their narative fired. So scientists now know that if they do research, it doesn't matter what the actual data says, or with the objective truth exposes, their results must support the mob or the scientist will be canceled.<br />
<br />
After the <a href=https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-myth-of-systemic-police-racism-11591119883>Wall Street Journal that cited the study</a> the mob attacked at UM were “complications” on campus and outraged wokesters demanded that the profs be flogged, or something else terrible. <br />
<br />
Professor Hsu told the WSJ: “The MSU professor who conducted that work, psychologist Joe Cesario, tells me that ‘we had no idea what the data was going to be, what the outcome was going to be, before we did this study.’ Mr. Cesario has collected evidence from a simulator and from real-world interactions between police and citizens. He concluded that ‘the nature of the interaction really matters the most, and officers were not more likely to be ready to shoot upon encountering a black versus white citizen.’ Pofessor Hsu has been Canceled.<br />
<br />
<a href=https://www.thecollegefix.com/scholar-forced-to-resign-over-study-that-found-police-shootings-not-biased-against-blacks/>Michigan State University leaders have successfully pressured Stephen Hsu to resign from his position as vice president of research and innovation after the Graduate Employees Union launched a campaign to oust him from his role.</a><br />
<br />
<a href=https://cnsnews.com/commentary/hans-bader/academics-seek-retract-study-disproving-racist-police-shootings-after>Once the professor was forced out, the other scientists who worked on the paper are trying to get the paper withdrawn to save their carriers.</a><br />
<br />
The left wants a war against objective truth, and freedom of speech, because both get in the way of them being in power.<br />
<br />
Remember all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to say and do nothing. This shows that just doing your job and telling the truth will get you attacked by the mob. <br />
<br />
If you tolerate SJW's at work, and don't speak up, and keep your head down, just hope and pray, you don't have to tell the truth that the mob doesn't like, or worse yet, you were merely on a "team" that produced results the mob didn't want, or didn't want others to know about. You too will be canceled. 2Bfreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303405885623088186noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694644156867084372.post-25537767836755743162020-06-25T05:57:00.003-04:002020-06-25T06:02:57.015-04:00Sometimes I Hate Being RightBy Tom Rhodes, 6/25/2020<br />

I predicted this would happen back in 2014 and talked about why, noting the <a href="https://lpcitrus.blogspot.com/2014/11/are-ferguson-riots-early-signs-of.html">Ferguson Riots were the Early Signs of Revoluion.</a><br />
<br />
I noted a couple years later in 2016 that Civil War II has started, it's a slow burn but it is ramping up and will unfortunately become a shooting war before another generation is born. I rightly stated, <a href="https://lpcitrus.blogspot.com/2016/07/civil-war-is-here.html">"</a>As long as the minions of the elite maintain their quasi-military attitude, their us vs them mentality, and their legal unaccountably, they will increasingly find themselves at war against the American people. It is a war they cannot win."<br />
<br />
That same article concluded "No sane person would celebrate the current situation, it has been predicted, but the repeated calls to hold the police and our government accountable have gone unheeded. When the FBI boldly proclaims that yes the elite did break the law, but we won’t prosecute, and cops routinely (hundreds of times a year) shoot the unarmed public without accountability, it clearly demonstrates to the people that the rule of law is dead, and the people cannot expect justice from the government. The people can, and will, seek justice through other means when the government refuses to enforce the rule of law."<br />
<br />
I hope I'm wrong, but I predict that Civil War II will be bloodier and more deadly than the War Between the States.2Bfreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303405885623088186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694644156867084372.post-91604885657983648812020-06-17T10:09:00.001-04:002020-06-17T10:09:18.629-04:00Government Admits it was lying to usGovernment Admits it was lying to us<br />

The most productive people in those cities have and are witnessing the inability of Democrat leaders to enforce the rule of law and protect them and their property. The most productive will move out of places where they don't have protection from looters, or criminals, and the elected leaders are unwilling to enforce the laws protecting normal people. This will hurt the poor in cities most.<br />
<br />
No rational person will remain where they know real criminals can and do get away with looting, arson, etc. while they are overly taxed, and fined for even the most minor code violations, when they can live under the rule of law, with protection from criminals in other parts of the country. You will also see the 'burbs and flyover country unwilling to support urban hell holes and fight back against taxes being sent to sustain them. <br />
<br />
Kung Flu Sicken has taught us the large office complex in the city is not needed, good people can be dispersed and don't need to be congregated to be productive. Cheaper to pay for an employees internet connection than provide them with an office. Big cities with Democrat leadership that are pandering to criminals are doomed. Civil War II will be between urbanites and the rest of the country. Who thought the dystopian fantasy Escape from New York would be a model of how to deal with urban hell holes.<br />

From the article in the Huffington Post titled, <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/race-is-not-biological_n_56b8db83e4b04f9b57da89ed">"What Scientists Mean When They Say ‘Race’ Is Not Genetic"</a>, we read:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Genetic methods do not support the classification of humans into discrete races, [and] racial assumptions are not good biological guideposts. Races are not genetically homogeneous and lack clear-cut genetic boundaries. And because of this, using race as a proxy to make clinical predictions is about probability.</blockquote>
<br />
This is bullshit and not scientific. Let's use dogs as an example, and reword it that assertion using terms people associate with dogs.<br />
<blockquote>
Genetic methods do not support the classification of dogs into discrete breeds, [and] breed assumptions are not good biological guideposts. Breeds are not genetically homogeneous and lack clear-cut genetic boundaries. And because there are more mutts than purebreds, using breed as a proxy to make clinical predictions is about probability.</blockquote>
<br />
Absolutely absurd, when talking about different breeds of dogs, we can make good predictions not only on such clinical predictions as average age, size, speed, strength, susceptibility to certain disease, and so on, we can also make good predictions on temperament, intelligence, and behavior. Implying that race isn't a good indicator to make decisions because it is not a perfect predictor of those qualities, is like saying it's dumb to select a breed of dog because nobody can predict that dog's temperament etc.<br />
<br />
All dogs are from the species called <i>Canis lupus</i>, a subspecies of wolf. The wolf, <i>Canis lupus</i>, has about 40 subspecies. <i>Canis lupus familiaris</i>. is the subspecies of wolf we call dogs. <br />
<br />
The races of man are simplistically referred to by color, white, black, yellow, some add brown and red. The scientific fact is they are all subspecies of <i>homo sapiens</i><br />
<blockquote>
Analysis of genomes from around the world establishes that there is a biological basis for race, despite the official statements to the contrary of leading social science organizations. An illustration of the point is the fact that with mixed race populations, such as African Americans, geneticists can now track along an individual’s genome, and assign each segment to an African or European ancestor, an exercise that would be impossible if race did not have some basis in biological reality.</blockquote>
Although it is not politically correct, the science is clear, although lots of people are mutts, that does not change the fact that the races of man genetically distinct, and we can observe and see measurable differences in not only color, but races are predictive estimating average; size, speed, strength, IQ, temperament, behavior, immune systems, and <insert big="" gasp="" here=""> even culture.</insert><br />
<br />
How evolution is active and observable in the human population even in recent history. One could rationally conclude that the industrial revolution, was caused by evolution and a drive in accelerated evolution, and the reasons some races had it and others never did, are evolutionary driven by natural selection and environmental pressures.<br />
<br />
The fact that Time Magazine published what is about as politically incorrect an article as you can read is amazing. About as non-PC as you can get, but rational, measurable and scientific. <a href="https://time.com/91081/what-science-says-about-race-and-genetics/">"New analyses of the human genome have established that human evolution has been recent, copious, and regional."</a><br />
<br />
Read it and rationally not emotionally look at the evidence, and history is pretty clear. Not only are the races genetically distinct, but so are cultures.2Bfreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303405885623088186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694644156867084372.post-53414191142759578712020-05-04T10:20:00.004-04:002020-05-04T10:21:26.857-04:00Prudence Dictates... But...<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">By Silence Dogood</span></i><br />
<br />
The Constitution does not grant us rights, it acknowledges rights with which we are born. We can choose not to exercise them, but they cannot be taken away.<br />
<br />
There is no provision of the Constitution allowing for the waiving of rights under any condition, but most legislatures are content to sit back and watch this all proceed without their fingerprints anywhere near it.<br />
<br />
Our rights cannot simply be waived in the face of anything. From the beginning of the country, government has been trying to do just that. But government is a necessary evil, and that evil has a predictable nature.<br />
<br />
It’s the nature of government and those in power to attempt to amass as much of that power as possible. The only way to have more power, is to have more control of the people, and that is done by force. Our Founding Fathers knew this and wrote the Constitution to guard against it as best it could be done. Yet those same forefathers were guilty of trying to take away the rights of the people and limits on government before the ink was dry on the Bill of Rights, can you say "Alien and Sedition Acts."<br />
<br />
If you add a belief in the superiority of the elite to dictate to the masses how they should live, you end up under standing today's Democrats’ basic nature: they know better than you do what you need, they are better than you are, smarter than you. Coronavirus just allowed a peek into their minds. Individuals are irrelevant to the left, as are your rights. The Constitution is an obstacle to be overcome, by any means available, not the restraint on their power it was written to be. Remember that come November…or you soon won’t be allowed to say it.<br />
<br />
Govenor rulings mandating stay at home orders are clearly unconstitutional, the fact that the people are tolerating them as well as we have with as few protests, and defiance of those unconstitutional orders, confirms Jefferson's words in the Declaraion of independence. "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.:"<br />
<br />
Let's not forget the BUT at the end of that sentence. "But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."2Bfreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303405885623088186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694644156867084372.post-12123837197814195072020-01-08T19:20:00.000-05:002020-01-08T19:22:06.448-05:00What is the goal?Tom Rhodes 1/8/2019<br />

Roosters fight all the time, having only a few (or 1) is more controllable.<br /><br />How many ungelded boars does a pig farmer keep compared to fertile sows?<br /><br />How many bulls compared to gelded steers, and fertile cows does a cattle rancher keep? Why do farmers disarm (cut the horns off) their herd? On a dairy farm what's the male/female cow ratio? On a meat ranch what's the bull to cow and steer ratio?<br /><br />Basic animal husbandry and observation is that the male of the species are unruly and harder to control than the female or gelded males. If you are raising sheep or cattle, you want to be the one who is in charge of the herd – so you castrate most of the males.<br /><br />The rise is single mother lead households seems more like design than unintended consequence. By incentivizing the destruction of the nuclear family, it promotes women's natural urge to seek security for herself and her kids, and thus promotes for government to provide for them, because there isn't a male there to do so, nor a model of a strong man to do so to be observed. <br /><br />Look at how the ruling elite choose to live, the vast overwhelming majority of the successful who are and become the elite, are a traditional man and woman married couple with kids, and their lives follow traditional family values. Yet they call for the masses to accept the gelding of men through shame, drugs, financial incentives, etc.<br /><br />Men in media are generally treated like either brutes, or idiots, again to discourage the idea that a man heading the home is good. Current welfare rules, reward single mothers, and punish them if there is both a man and woman in the house. <br /><br />The whole idea that there are more than 2 genders, is just part of a larger plan to geld the men of the west. The rise in "T" of LBGT politics, and the labeling of masculinity as toxic, and the labeling and drugging of boys who are "A D D" etc. is all part of the ruling elite wanting to control the masses. If you emasculate men, shame them for acting like men, in essence eliminate or geld them, the masses are easier to control.<br /><br />If your goal is to have a compliant society of dependent serfs, you need to geld ("detoxify") the males or make them irrelevant. A father in each family protects his own and works hard so his offspring can thrive. A society made of strong families, led by armed men, can thwart the designs of would-be rulers.<br />2Bfreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303405885623088186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694644156867084372.post-21039171035488286662019-11-28T15:59:00.000-05:002019-11-25T17:21:42.770-05:00Thanksgiving - Celebrating Private Property's Triumph Over CollectivismBy Tom Rhodes, 11/22/2018 <em><span><br />
I doubt anybody will notice but this as a repeat of my 2010 Thanksgiving article</span></em><br />
<br />
As you know the original colony to Plymouth celebrated thanksgiving with the Indians in November of 1623. The Pilgrims arrived in December of 1621, and began their colony as a commune, and organized their farm economy along communal lines. The goal was to share the work and produce equally. This experiment again proved what the ancient Greeks observed eons before. As Aristotle wrote, "That which is common to the greatest number has the least care bestowed upon it."<br />
<br />
<img height="95%" src="https://home.acceleration.net/clark/COOL938/Email.Essays/Abundance_02.jpg" width="95%" /><br />
<br />
The Pilgrims faked illness rather than working the common property. Some even stole, despite their Puritan convictions. The result was as winter of 1622 set in, they did not have enough food and provisions set for the winter and famine and privation ran rampant by the spring of 1623 only 5 women had survived. Gov. William Bradford wrote in his diary, "So as it well appeared that famine must still ensue the next year also, if not some way prevented.<br />
<br />
The problem is that when people can get the same return with less effort, most people make less effort. This was an early harsh and historically repeated lesson that socialism and communism result in less production even to the point of starvation. Thus again proving that the rules set to us by God are best to live by. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/24lfwz7">2 Thessalonians 3:6-15</a><br />
<br />
Later of the colonists, Bradford said, they "began to think how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery. At length after much debate of things, (I with the advice of the chiefest among them) gave way that they should set corn every man for his own particular, and in that regard trust to themselves. And so assigned to every family a parcel of land. . . This had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been. By this time harvest was come, and instead of famine, now God gave them plenty, and the face of things was changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many." <br />
<br />
Because of the change, the first Thanksgiving could be held in November 1623. Because of the abundance the Pilgrims not only were able to feed themselves, but to take care of those among them who try as they might failed to do so. It was private charity that took care of those less fortunate.<br />
<br />
Thanksgiving is clear proof and evidence of the triumph of private property, connecting effort to reward, demonstrating that when everything is “shared equally” it incentivizes each person to contribute as little as possible to get their “equal” share. Whereas with every pilgrim given private property produced abundance which they could then trade with others for things they lacked. The free mutual exchange for mutual benefit makes the entire community richer.<br />
<br />
We should all be thankful that we do not have to learn the lessons of protecting private property in the same deadly way that the pilgrims. Thanksgiving is the quintessential American holiday, copied by many other countries; it is a polar opposite of May Day. On Thanksgiving, we celebrate the fall of communism and are thankful for the abundance God provides through the free market.2Bfreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303405885623088186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694644156867084372.post-9075743260746654112019-07-04T00:00:00.000-04:002019-07-04T00:00:03.106-04:00July 4, 1776IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.<br />
<br />
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,<br />
<br />
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.<br />
<br />
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.<br />
<br />
<br />
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.<br />
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.<br />
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. <br />
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. <br />
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.<br />
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.<br />
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.<br />
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.<br />
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.<br />
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.<br />
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.<br />
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.<br />
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:<br />
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:<br />
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:<br />
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:<br />
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: <br />
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:<br />
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences<br />
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:<br />
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:<br />
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.<br />
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.<br />
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. <br />
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.<br />
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. <br />
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.<br />
<br />
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.<br />
<br />
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.<br />
<br />
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.<br />

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a Fringe Whackjobby Tom Rhodes, 2/15/2019<br />
<br />
Is Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a fringe Whackjob, or is she just bringing the Democrat party out of the closet?<br />
<br />
Clearly the Democrat party has abandoned liberalism for authoritarian principles. They clearly recognize that they cannot reach their Utopian dreams if they continue to embrace liberal principles. The Democrats are now an authoritarian socialist party. There is no way that the Democrat party can claim to be liberal. <br />
<br />
Liberals used to be defined as people who believed in Liberalism, which is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality. <br />
<li><em><b>Classical liberalism</b></em>, a political or social philosophy advocating the freedom of the individual, where the governments purpose is to insure and protect individual rights and civil liberties of all equally, guaranteeing the rule of law, and equality under the law.<br />
<li><em><b>Economic liberalism</b></em>, the ideological belief in organizing the economy on individualist lines, such that the greatest possible number of economic decisions are made by private individuals and not by collective institutions.<br />
<br />
The Democrats have and are rejecting the will of the people, they commonly refer to the masses as “flyover country,” deplorables, etc. The current Democrat positions:<br />
<br />
<li>Reject Religious Liberty<br />
<li>Legalize Infanticide<br />
<li>End the Second Amendment and Your Right to Self Defense<br />
<li>End Free Speech through “hate speech” laws<br />
<li>Anti-Semitism<br />
<li>End Due Process<br />
<li>Different rules for Elite than Masses<br />
<li>Green New Deal(GND)<blockquote><br />
<li>Force Home Reconstruction<br />
<li>Outlaw 99% of Private Vehicles<br />
<li>Eliminate Nuclear Energy<br />
<li>Ban Affordable Energy<br />
<li>End most Air Travel<br />
<li>Forced Government Healthcare<br />
<li>Nationalize Banks<br />
<li>End right to spend money on speech<br />
<li>Replace Republic of USA with Democracy<br />
<li>Abolish Electoral College<br />
<li>Establish Federal Control of heat, electricity, phone, internet, and public transportation<br />
<li>Ban Meat<br />
<li>Provide Income to those Unwilling to Work<br />
<font size=-2>The GND is supposedly about Climate Change, but most of the proposed ideas in the GND have nothing to to do with Climate Change, the proposal is instead an authoritarian wish list to end the Constitution.</font> </blockquote><br />
None of the current policies and objectives of the Democrat party are liberal. They are even openly racist calling for <a href=https://www.thecollegefix.com/black-students-demand-segregated-spaces-white-students/>segregation</a> on our college campuses. I cannot find anywhere Democrats want to protect or increase individual liberty, economic freedom, or civil rights. Clearly today’s Democrats want to eliminate the Bill of Rights. Other than the Third Amendment all of the Bill of Rights is getting in the way of how the Democrats want the power to control all aspects of how all Americans life. They are openly calling to end our Constitutional Republic and replace it with some oligarchy not bound by any of the restrictions that, <em>We The People,</em> placed on them. Democrats clearly chafe at the idea that the mere masses, don’t accept their superiority, and that the will of the people should be ignored because the ruling elites know best how everybody should live. The Democrats are clearly Authoritarian. <br />
<br />
<s> Ocasio-Cortez</s> Occasional-Cortex is not a fringe fruitcake of the Democrat party, she and all those who support the GND, are the reality of what the Democrats believe. It is not liberal, or conservative, but leftist authoritarianism. Occasional-Cortex in a recent interview came out and said that to enact the GND there would necessarily be some totalitarian actions by government. <br />
<br />
Psychology Today lists <a href= https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/rethinking-mental-health/201711/what-you-can-expect-authoritarian> What You Can Expect From an Authoritarian</a>.

<br />
We Live in a Neo-Fuedal Society, where the ruling class is urban elites. Urban elites somehow believe that the fact that they are rich, live in a big city, that they know best how others should live. They refer to people not in the big cities and rubes, hillbillies, deplorables, etc., and rather than listen to what the people say are the problems, and have to deal with them voting, the new elite class in DC/NY/Paris/Berlin/Brussels/other big city, want to dictate to the masses how they must live, and what they are allowed to learn/own/do.<br />
<br />
The idea that Brits would vote to leave the EU, or that the USA would elect Trump, or the people would revolt in Paris over their taxes, all indicate to them that the problem is that the masses don't recognize their "clearly superior understanding of what's best." Because not recognizing the elites superiority is unfathomable, they conclude that the masses are too dumb, ignorant, religious, uneducated, or whatever, to be allowed decisions in how they are governed. <br />
<br />
Neo-feudalists are easy to identify, by their smug certainty that they know better what ought to be done with and for you than you yourself do. And they are accountable to nobody, and are guided by nothing except their doctrinaire beliefs in what might charitably be called academic Marxism, and might more aptly be called simple totalitarianism. They are globalists, and don't believe local people at the city, state, or even national level should be allowed to govern themselves.<br />
<br />
Angela Merkel being a prime example, saying that sovereign nation states must not listen to the will of their citizens when it comes to questions of immigration, borders, or even sovereignty. The her, and elitists everywhere, shock and dismay, the people booted her, and suddenly the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party was a significant force. Her citizens chose the “wrong” answer, and the elitist international press was quick to scold the masses. The neo-feudal state at work. <br />
<br />
The ruling class is openly attacking freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and especially the USA's right to keep and bear arms, because those liberties severely restrict neo-feudal ability it impose there will on the masses. <br />
<br />
The neo-feudal state, is globalist. Rather than the unified body politic of the liberal republic, the neo-feudal state slices and dices its residents into discrete subsets, each with its own unique rights and responsibilities. Solid economic and social divisions were a key part of feudal society, and they also play a role in present-day neo-feudalism.<br />
<br />
Neo-feudalism is the contemporary rebirth of policies of governance, economy, and public life reminiscent of those present in many feudal societies, such as unequal rights and different legal protections for common people then for nobility. It is clear to see, Hillary can and has gotten away with breaking the law concerning handling of state secrets. Comey, then head of the FBI, noted that she broke the law but would not be arrested, but woe to any not of the ruling elite, you would be jailed if you did the same thing. They are open about the fact that the laws apply to you not them. In 2013 demographer Joel Kotkin defined the neo-feudal classes as: the oligarchs (the super-wealthy, especially in tech and finance), the clerisy (government regulators, the media elite, and the academy), the yeomanry (the middle class and small-business owners), and the serfs (the working poor and government dependents). <br />
<br />
Elites made a degree the passport to success, then raised college prices to keep out the riffraff. The reason is power, it appears planned. Now only the rich elite can afford to go, and if you go and are not part of the elite, you will have crushing debt for the rest of your life, so you can be more easily controlled. Neo-Fuedalism at work. I don't buy into a big conspiracy, the reality is neo-feudalism as reality but clearly there is no single cabal working to impose a new feudal regime. Neo-feudalism is a result of the confluence of a number of forces: technological advances, a large welfare state, financialization, offshoring, and an influx of illegal laborers. Much of what drives neo-feudalism is unintentional, but the new-elite are taking advantage of it. <br />
<br />
Today's ruling elite, want neo-feudalism as the way of the future but call it "democratic socialism." Where the ruling elite dictate who gets what, and controls everything. They seek to control bureaucracies and NGO's without having to go through the mess of winning elections. They have privatized governance to multi-national companies like Capital-one, Alphabet, FB, Twitter, etc, as the means to control the people by limiting speech and ideas that reduce their ability to govern. Banks now dictate how you can spend your money, <a href=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/26/business/citigroup-guns.html>restricting you from using your debit or credit cards for arms.</a> The elite through banks want the ability to dictate <a href=https://www.nraila.org/articles/20180413/bailed-out-banks-launch-coordinated-attack-on-law-abiding-gun-owners>who can't and cannot use banking services and what people who use debit or credit cards are allowed to purchase.</a> No laws, just get your fellow elites on wall street stop them. <br />
<br />
You don't get to vote for how the bank is run, you must use a bank, as your employer pays you with a check or direct deposit, the laws won't let you have meaningful amounts of cash, and you it's <em>almost</em> impossible to trading in any exchange medium not controlled by the banks. The ruling elite don't want you to have the ability to purchase anything without them knowing (and controlling) what you spend your money on. They are going after Bitcoin and other ways people can do business outside the control of our neo-feudal masters. We live by the golden rule, "those who control the gold control the rules." <br />
<br />
The only solution, is unfortunately the same one our founding fathers had to take to end feudalism in 1776. There will be war. <br />
<br><br>Post Script: <em> One way to beat the banking elite and revenuer: Buy old <a href=https://www.apmex.com/category/25800/90-40-35-coins-silver-dollars>"junk silver coins"</a> and use them as legal tender as a purchase, but trade on their value. Take 50 silver dollars (minted before 1965, with 90% silver content), and offer them to you local gun shop, for a new Springfield 1911 pistol (list price over $800 but sells for less). Legal tender valued at $50 but worth over $700 for it's silver content. Depending on model of pistol a fair trade. As legal tender the licensed gun dealer could agree to the sale, and take a loss on his taxes, only collect sales tax on $50, then take $50 of petty cash from the till and go buy pizza's for his employees weekly pizza party. Nothing illegal about paying for the pizza with paper bank notes or his personal "debit card" instead of the exact currency taken from petty cash (the $50 in silver coins in his pocket).

Hirono apparently thinks the concept of religious tests for office being unconstitutional is somehow an alt-right position. I guess the Founders were alt-right characters also. I mean, it’s only printed out in completely unambiguous terms right in the Constitution.<br />
<br />
Article VI of the constitution clearly states "... no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."<br />

By Tom Rhodes, 1/4/2018<br />
<br />
As long as speech doesn't specifically call for violence, is legally libel, etc. except in exceptional circumstances, as in a state of war, your speech is protected. Prior restraint is an attempt to prevent publication or broadcast of any statement. The Supreme Court consistently rules that prior restraint is unconstitutional. According to multiple Supreme Court rulings, the following are all considered protected speech:<br />
<br />
<li>Writing is protected speech. <br />
<li>Speaking is protected speech. <br />
<li>Spending Money is protected speech.<br />
<li>Speaking anonymously is protected speech. <br />
<li>Offensive and hateful words are protected speech.<br />
<li>Joining a group of other Americans to petition the government is also protected speech.<br />
<br />
There are no rulings or laws or amendments that say speech must be fair, nice, or approved by society at large. Speech is protected not your feelings, not your ideas, as such:<br />
<br />
<li>You have no right to not be offended.<br />
<li>You have no right to be protected from ideas you don't like.<br />
<li>You have no right to have your speech funded by others.<br />
<li>You have no right to stop funding by others of speech you don't approve.<br />
<li>You have no right to silence speech you feel should be classified as "hate speech."<br />
<li>You have no right to initiate violence against others who say things you don't like.<br />
<li>You have no right to shut down or stop others from speaking.<br />
<li>You have no right to force others to stay and listen to your speech.<br />
<br />
Your only right to not hear "hate speech," or any other "speech" you don't like, is to walk away, turn the channel, close the web page, etc. 2Bfreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00303405885623088186noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6694644156867084372.post-68399886811953048762018-10-18T15:07:00.001-04:002018-10-18T15:14:52.834-04:00Understand Entropy and You Understand MeLife the World and Everything are Defined by the Second Law of Thermodynamics.<br />
By Tom Rhodes, 10/18/2018<br />
<br />
If you understand Newton’s Second law of Thermodynamics, then you need all you need to know about me, and you probably have a better more accurate understanding the principles of the Libertarian Party. <br />
<br />
I understand and use the scientific method as the best way to understand nature and physical existence. Human history and all scientific research has proven that Newton's Second Law of thermodynamics is true in physical science and for all manmade systems both physical and relational. The second laws fundamentally states: All changes occur such that at least some energy disperses: the total concentrated or organized energy of the universe decreases, the total diffuse or disorganized energy of the universe increases. Entropy measures the amount of order in a system and the universe.<br />
<br />
Entropy can never decrease spontaneously. Unless purposeful controlled energy, aka work, is introduced into a system, entropy increases. All systems naturally go from order to disorder. Applied to life, the fundamental concept of entropy is that if you don’t take care of something (work on it) it turns to shit (disorder). <br />
<br />
I've seen the effect of entropy in my own life, if you look you can see how entropy affects yours. I use practical application of this scientific principle to better understand my life, and to make my life better. I work on the principle that what I don't purposefully maintain will deteriorate. <br />
<li> Absent purposeful repair and attention my property deteriorates. (<em> guns rust, tires go flat, roofs leak, yard gets overgrown, pool turns green, carbs get gummed up, hard drives get fragmented, the list is endless</em>)<br />
<li> Absent purposeful exercise my body deteriorates. <br />
<li> Absent purposeful exercise my mind deteriorates. <br />
<li> Absent purposeful practice my skills deteriorate. <br />
<li> Absent purposeful prayer and worship my soul deteriorates. <br />
<li> Absent purposeful time spent with others my relationship with them deteriorates. <br />
<li> Absent purposeful vigilance my liberty deteriorates. <br />
<li> Absent purposeful participation my culture deteriorates.<br />
<br />
The Law of Entropy, is not compromising, has no feeling, and is an absolute LAW of Nature. To accomplish anything you must add purposeful work. You cannot coast through life without purpose and accomplish much. Randomly putting energy into something without purpose will only add chaos to your life. Just "doing" something won't fix anything. A forest fire adds lots of energy to the woods, but it won't turn a single tree into table. To make a table from a tree, takes purposeful ordered energy in the form of skilled work. Absent intelligent application of controlled amounts of energy, nature will always create more disorder.<br />
<br />
I value accomplishment, because every human being on the planet can accomplish things in proportion to the abilities they possess, if they will just do what has proven to be effective. Because not every person has the same natural abilities, and not every person will choose to purposefully put in the same work, the outcomes for everybody will be different. To be just and honorable, we must insure that opportunities must be equal, but because of entropy, we must accept the reality that outcomes will be different. The reality is entropy - <em>the inevitable decline into disorder, built into the fabric of the universe</em> – is the true nemesis to what I can accomplish. <br />
<br />
Because I believe in the scientific method, I value logic over feelings and emotion. This means that I believe that libertarian political ideas are the best political expression of Christian values and where implemented has produced more order (less chaos) and more good for more people than any other political ideology every devised by man. This means that I also reject both socialism and anarchy as they have repeatedly proven to increase entropy, and bring not only chaos but privation to the people subject to their implementation. As such your assertion that is contrary to evidence will dismissed.<br />
<br />
I like good food, strong drink, well-crafted motorcycles and guns, good writing, talented musicianship, thoughtful art, I appreciate and respect both the talent God gave and effort it takes to create those things. I appreciate beautiful women, femininity and masculinity, and know the difference. <br />
<br />
I understand you may have a different opinions about these things, and I respect your opinions at precisely the same level of enthusiasm with which your respect mine. <br />

<br />
Today discussing, much less debating, observable scientific and mathematical truths is not allowed by the political left, who seek to suppress critical thinking and science, if that science exposes objective truth that doesn't support a feminist/globalist/leftist agenda.<br />
<br />
I taught high school chemistry for a few years. Of the hundreds of students I taught some were very smart, the overwhelming majority were average, and some were .. to be blunt ... dumb. There is no teacher, who's taught for any length of time, that can't identify the very bright and dumb from the overall pack of kids they teach. They also know the grades the kids earn don't always match the intelligence of the kids they teach. They all can tell you of students who were very bright, but got bad grades because they chose not to put in any effort, and they can tell of dumb students who chose to work hard and got good grades. <br />
<br />
Although very few, there were some kids who basic chemistry was just beyond their intellectual ability. High school chemistry isn't that hard, but it does require critical thinking and application of abstract concepts. I can say that I had far more truly intellectually limited students, who shouldn't have been in a chemistry class in the first place, who were boys than girls. Probably 4:1 dumb boys to dumb girls. <br />
<br />
I only taught high school chemistry for 3 years so only taught about 750 different students. There were a few, very few, truly extremely intelligent students, both boys and girls, but like the truly intellectually challenged not very many. To be honest there were more boys than girls that were at the top end of the intelligence spectrum, about 3:1.<br />
<br />
No teacher, if honest, wouldn't tell you the same thing. The overwhelming majority of students are average, but at the extreme ends of dumb and super smart there are more boys than girls. This is a repeatedly observed and measured phenomenon that is not politically correct. It can and has been mathematically modeled and compared to evolutionary differences in other animals. Male mammals have far more variability in virtually every measured aspect than females. <br />
<br />
This is a scientific fact but even discussing mathematical models of hypothetical sex differences is forbidden if the results of such models might be interpreted as conflicting with feminist orthodoxy. As a leftist friend of mine once said "Why bother reporting scientific data, even if it is right, if the results are not politically acceptable?" <br />
<br />
Feminists in the past couple of weeks have successfully been able to bully an obscure math journal, and have a peer reviewed paper, that is unquestionably solid in it's research methodology and application of mathematics, to be retracted after it was published because the results might be interpreted to support the idea that there are differences between men and women that might result in less women at the top of some professions. <br />
<br />
It seems to me that an appropriate response of the bullying that resulted in obscure math journals pulling the research is to get the paper as wide a circulation as possible, and create a Streisand effect.<br />
<br />
Here is the <a href=https://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.04184.pdf >abstract:</a><br />
<blockquote>An elementary mathematical theory based on "selectivity" is proposed to address a question raised by Charles Darwin, namely, how one gender of a sexually dimorphic species might tend to evolve with greater variability than the other gender. Briefly, the theory says that if one sex is relatively selective then from one generation to the next, more variable subpopulations of the opposite sex will tend to prevail over those with lesser variability; and conversely, if a sex is relatively non-selective, then less variable subpopulations of the opposite sex will tend to prevail over those with greater variability. This theory makes no assumptions about differences in means between the sexes, nor does it presume that one sex is selective and the other non-selective. Two mathematical models are presented: a discrete-time one-step statistical model using normally distributed fitness values; and a continuous-time deterministic model using exponentially distributed fitness levels.<br />
