‘Help Wanted: International Monetary Fund Honcho’ (2015)

“And I am supposed to know where it went? Sacre bleu!”

Who’s running the International Monetary Fund these days? In 2015 it was one Christine LaGarde; and she was in hot water for allowing over half a billion euros to disappear while she did–well, who knows?

Help Wanted: International Monetary Fund Honcho

I don’t know where it’s written down that it’s always got to be the sleaziest and most corrupt villains who run the government. We have an international creepocracy. Hey, look at us! We’re told we just elected Hunter Biden’s old man, “the Big Guy,” who got 50% of every crooked dollar Hunter collected from the Chicoms, president of the United States! We are now as dirty as the European Union!

“We’re from the government and we’re here to help!”

As so often happens with the nooze, I can’t find any follow-up so I don’t know how this EU government caper turned out. Maybe they changed their minds and didn’t do it, after all–grab the savings of some 500 million people and use it to “plug the gap” left by a financial crisis.

Oh, Look! Jesse James is in Charge of the Banks!

The point is, nothing that you think you have is really yours. It’s all theirs, to do with as they please. That’s why they’re now in the business of rigging elections: they don’t what us bitter clingers thinking that we count for something.

Mark Rushdoony: ‘The Way Forward’

This is a sobering thought. Regardless of how the 2020 presidential election is finally decided, America will still be deep in debt with no apparent way to pay it off.

Did we get here by overzealously following God’s laws, Christ’s teachings?

No. We got here by doing what we wanted, when we wanted. We got here by allowing government to mutate into a kind of idol that must be appeased incessantly: the pseudo-religion that R.J. Rushdoony called statism.

Only faith will guide us back to sanity.

Liberals and Perpetual Infancy

“Unknowable” observes, “It’s as if liberals can’t get enough of authority.”

That’s for sure. I can’t understand that mind-set. It’s like they want to be told what to do. Show me a liberal who isn’t wearing a face mask outdoors, and I’ll show you a cryptozoology specimen. No matter how arbitrary or inane the restriction, the libs lap it up–and stare daggers at you if you don’t.

What? Do they like doing homework? Standing in line? Being sent up to bed when someone else decides it’s time?

The Far Left and authoritarianism go together like H2 and O. You don’t find one without the other.

And here’s something my wife first noticed in the 1960s:

The same teenage rebel who won’t clean her room, and gets into daily screaming fights with her mother… joins a freakin’ commune and tamely does everything the commune big shot tells her to, no matter how unreasonable or degrading. And you wind up with something like the Manson family.

Some pipsqueak like Obama tells ’em, “You’ve got to support gay marriage,” and they fall into line at once, even if it requires a sudden 180-degree turn in their thinking. (I’ve seen it done. It’s rather horrifying, that anyone should be able to jettison his core beliefs so easily.) But let a law come down from God Almighty, and they make a show of breaking it. They rebel against God and kow-tow to the most contemptible and asinine “leaders” that a fallen human race can produce.

Pray for President Trump, standing in the breech against a tide of globalist tyranny. May the God who put him there sustain him.

‘The All-Devouring Federal Government’ (2014)

Coming soon to a city near you!

Now that they’ve learned they can actually steal a presidential election, Democrats see vast totalitarian vistas opening for them–the sky’s the limit! Now they can do things to us that they could only dream of doing, just a few years ago. Now they can abuse us with impunity.

Here’s one of their little projects that was on the back burner.

The All-Devouring Federal Government

“Smart” devices that spy on you night and day so Party apparatchiks can order your every move–won’t that be fun? Even what you eat, or don’t eat. They’ll count the steps your feet take. You’ll never be free of them. And they can prey on us to their hearts’ content, because now we’ll never be able to vote them out of office.

Was this what you wanted?

You Know You’re a Ninny If…

Ooh, sunshine! And rain forecast for tomorrow. So I’d better get out there and write!

But first, let me air a few more of my archaic political beliefs that liberals say I should just shut up about.

Then there’s their beliefs. Those are not exactly farm-fresh. They’re also crazy. Anyhow, you know you’re a nincompoop if you believe:

*Government can create a paradise on earth, if only we give it enough money, worship, and coercive power.

*Human nature can be shaped like modeling clay; and The Smartest People In The World should be allowed to shape the rest.

*There’s probably no God, but we don’t need one because each of us carries an inner divinity. (Sorry, I don’t know how to say that without babbling.)

*Our news media are honest, fair, and accurate.

*There really are dozens of genders!

*College makes you smarter. Note I didn’t say “College makes you smart.” A wasp-sting makes you smart, too.

*A global government would be a really nice thing to have.

Sorry, but if you believe even one of these liberal flapjaws, your brain simply doesn’t work properly.

Yeahbut, yeahbut! Millions of people believe those things!

True–and look at the trouble that has gotten us into.

New Lockdown for Wales–a Government Gone Mad

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Holy smoke! The new lockdown in Wales is like Gov. Whitmer on steroids: or, in the words of an Australian TV news host, “psychotic and absolutely deranged.”

Welsh supermarkets suddenly have shelves taped off to prevent you from trying to buy items the government deems “non-essential.” Like books. Kitchen utensils. Need a new cooking pot? Yer outta luck! Various household supplies. And “no unnecessary journeys.” Government will decide what’s necessary or not.

It’s supposed to last only 17 days. Where have we heard that before?

It’s supposed to wipe out the COVID virus. You know–like the first lockdown did. What’s that? We’ve still got the virus even though we had a four-month lockdown? Obviously the solution is another lockdown! It’s just bound to work this time!

We hear warnings of “a new normal… a dystopian nightmare of constant control and constant fear,” with government claiming more and more “extraordinary powers over our lives.”

News flash! All globalists are Chinese Communist wannabes.

And they think they’ve just swallowed America whole.

Do we Americans give government this kind of power over us? God forbid we just did.

‘The Myth of Omnipotent Government’ (2017)

Yowsah, yowsah, it just can’t help but turn out great!

The idea that government can create an earthly paradise for us is the whole basis of leftism; and as Steve Brown used to say, it comes from Hell and smells like smoke.

The Myth of Omnipotent Government

Can you even begin to imagine the mischief, the horror, that would ensue if human nature really were infinitely capable of being purposely shaped and molded by whoever was in power? And vain attempts to do it don’t turn out so well, either.

Our country’s founders knew that. Voices crying in the wilderness…

‘A Really Lousy Vision for America’ (2014)

Big Government in the 1930s–Hitler and Mussolini. Stalin couldn’t make the photo op.

“Progressives” have only gotten miles crazier since I wrote this in 2014.

A Really Lousy Vision for America

There are only two things you can do with an insatiable lust to dominate others: enter into an abusive marriage, or get elected to public office. Most of us are born without this lust. But as citizens, most of us are victims of it.

As Thomas Jefferson once pointed out, where the people fear the government, you find tyranny; but where the government fears the people, you have liberty.

They have lost their fear of us, and that’s why they so freely abuse us. You know what happens with leopards or alligators that lose their fear of human beings. “Progressives” are like any other predators. We really do need to rein them in.

Are they gonna treat dogs the way they treat us?

Really–this has to stop. But of course Democrats have no intention of it ever stopping. The Great Virus Panic is their ticket to ride–the universal excuse for screwing around with other people’s lives. For instance:

California Governor Gavin Noisome says if you’re going out with your family to eat at a restaurant, “Don’t forget to keep your mask on between bites” (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/california-govs-diners-masks).

How long are we supposed to live like this? How long are we supposed to put up with this? You’d think we’d be ashamed to be governed by such nimrods. You’d think we’d cry “Enough! Enough!” and send them packing.

Heaven help us, it’s all been in my lifetime, all this culture rot. We’ve become the Democrats’ squeaky toy. They weren’t able to corral us with Climate Change, but the Doomsday Virus did the trick. They love what it’s letting them do to our country!

May Christ Our Lord deliver us out of their hands.
