Given the recent events at GBNews, I was very interested to see and hear the Neil Oliver monologue this week, to see if the issues of censorship, control and weaponized cultural Marxism would be part of his focus.
In his unique way, Oliver does approach the subject, by targeting the larger social Marxist effort to control speech and language. Oliver talks about how accurate words are diminished by those who overplay them in order to achieve political gains. Additionally, how the politically correct (culturally Marxist) intents of the progressive movement, intentionally downplay very real and dangerous outcomes by ignoring events that should be described by the words they overuse.
Oliver also applies the process to the attacks against his own speech. As Oliver notes, he is now labeled as a “far right-wing racist and antisemite”. Stay with this and you can see how the overarching dynamic of the past several weeks in U.K. politics is being deconstructed by Oliver’s application of common sense. WATCH:
[Transcript] – The slow creep of ugliness into the language of public debate is impossible to ignore. It is a truly sad state of affairs, a degradation of the quality of discourse, that should finally give us pause, make us stop and take a long hard look at the reality presently being forced upon us.
But the fact is we have grown accustomed to the knee-jerk application of lazy slurs and the smearing of reputations, to the casual abuse of those around us with some of the vilest accusations imaginable.
Racist, sexist, misogynist, transphobe, anti-Semite – the list of tags is long. But just as the ceaseless printing of money has utterly devalued our currencies, so the machine-gun spraying of labels, powerful labels once reserved for specific behaviours, deliberate crimes with malice aforethought, has rendered once lethally effective words all but meaningless.
Even more worrying, the overuse and misuse of words distracts from real crime, real abuse, and real discrimination. Real crimes of racism, committed against people black, white and brown, for racism, neither knows nor respects any colour bar are lost in the haze whipped up by the ceaseless misuse of “racist” in relation to anything and everything.
‘Sexist’ and ‘misogynist’ are likewise bandied about with wild abandon, used almost without exception now for the purposes of silencing unwanted voices, frightening the fainthearted back into their boxes.
Real contempt for the female sex, made manifest, for example, in the coordinated, wholesale rape of underage, white, working-class female children in towns up and down the country abandoned to their fates by authority in its every guise, police, councils, judiciary, government, and entirely overlooked, blind eyes and deaf ears turned. The words that might rightly have been used to describe what was going on were made absent. Instead, all that greeted the news of all that evil and misery was state-sanctioned silence.
Victims of the horror and those who knew about it and sought to raise the alarm and seek justice were shouted down. Those few actually brave enough to point fingers at the guilty were themselves labelled racists. That’s the reality of where we end up when words are overused or misused. Paradoxically, real crime is left to thrive. “Racist” and “misogynist” are words with actual and precise meanings … their use should sound alarm bells to alert us to real horror, real abuse … like that going on for decades in Rotherham, Telford, Oldham and scores of other towns.
That abuse of young girls has not stopped, either and won’t stop while those who could and should be doing something about it find apathy and lack of meaningful concern and action less damaging to their career advancement and political ambition. More and more we live in a society in which keeping the head down or looking the other way feels, to many, like the only option when to speak out, far less to do something, risks being carpet-bombed with the usual verbal abuse.
Real misogyny is at the root too of the blatant and gratuitous misuse of “transphobe” as well. Men speaking up in support of women fighting to preserve the vital sanctity of women-only spaces – toilets and changing rooms, prisons, refuges and the rest – do not receive the full force of the transphobe label.
In another example of misogyny, that insult, along with its even uglier twin TERF is applied most aggressively towards women.
Transphobe – a word properly descriptive of aversion to and hatred of trans people is therefore deliberately misused … and ceaselessly and relentlessly … not to make easier the lives of trans people but to shame, bully and dismiss women voicing concerns that only a handful of years ago would have been regarded as unquestionable common sense.
All of this means real racists and misogynists can go about their brutal business almost unchallenged, while the once powerful and meaningful words, dread words, are pepper sprayed into the faces of anyone and everyone seeking to ask questions of authority, to draw attention to dangerous societal misalignments and to raise the alarm about overreach and mission creep.
Verbal weaponry for use in emergency has been willfully and carelessly repurposed for one thing and one thing only, which is the silencing of debate.
Most important to notice is the certainty that none of this is accidental … nor is it the product of a natural evolution of human behaviour. On the contrary, this choreographed and whipped up name-calling … and let’s face it, name-calling is what it truly is … deploying the oh-so effective tactics of the school playground that none of us apparently outgrow … has been deliberately orchestrated and massively ramped up during these past two or three years of unprecedented change.
It has been done on purpose and the name-calling has been led and driven by government, by nudge units and the rest of the little wizards tasked with the psychological manipulation and perversion of society.
It really got going with “anti-vaxxer”, “covidiot”, “covid-denier” and “granny-killer” that became the round-the-clock stock in trade not just of government ministers but most effectively from the mouths of familiar TV journalists and other media figures.
As with “racist”, “misogynist” and “transphobe” the panoply of pandemic epithets were the childishly effective bludgeon used to try and knock any and all dissent or downright disobedience on the head.
As well as about silencing and controlling, it has been about division. Lockdowns and social distancing kept us physically apart, but even more sinister now is the way we are being set at each other’s throats, fracturing and damaging the very fabric of society.
Again, the ceaseless overuse … of terms like anti-vaxxer … rendered them utterly meaningless. People who had taken the products pushed as vaccines … and been harmed by them and then left in want of recognition, help and compensation … were routinely dismissed as anti-vaxxers, an allegation requiring exquisitely complex mental gymnastics in search of any sense whatsoever.
Anyone questioning the claims as to the safety and effectiveness of those medical products is still automatically defamed as a “covidiot” or a “granny-killer”, or a “covid-denier”.
And yet even though reams of peer-reviewed literature are out there now making plain the reality of harm and risk from taking those products, still the c-words are bandied about.
And again, as with the rest of the name-calling, it’s all about silencing dissenting voices and seizing and maintaining control of narratives.
The ugliness and attempted bullying is everywhere. Perhaps the granddaddy of them all right now – the Swiss Army knife of insults – is right wing. Everyone and everything standing in defiance of the narratives about Covid, the war in Ukraine, the so-called climate crisis, 15-minute cities, is instantly and automatically right wing.
Real old-fashioned right-wingers must be revolving like revolutionaries in their graves at the butchery of a term that was once upon a time actually descriptive of a political position. Fearing the loss of cultural and community cohesion in the face of mass immigration is automatically right-wing, as well as racist, of course. Brexit is right-wing. Love of country is right wing. Gardening is right-wing, and also racist, and so too the English countryside and being good at maths.
After a lifetime of skirting around politics … avoiding the whole sordid business like something left behind on the pavement by a passing canine … I got out of bed one morning a couple of years ago to find I was right-wing too, apparently.
Not just old fashioned, stick in the mud middle of the road right-wing, mind you … but frothing at the mouth, swivel-eyed, ultra-far-right, right-wing.
I achieved this feat by … not moving at all in any direction. I have stayed where I have always been – which is to say in the land of those cynical of politics and politicians of all stripes and therefore politically homeless for a lifetime – while some sort of undetected shifting of the tectonic plates moved the old world out from under my feet and off into the distance never to return.
Articles about me in the newspapers used to describe me as “long-haired” and “Scottish”. Nowadays I’m mostly known to the MSM as right-wing conspiracy theorist Neil Oliver. It’s laughable, but there we are.
I said Right Wing was the granddaddy or at least the catch-all. But of course, that would be to overlook the many megaton explosive power of the a-word … which is ‘antisemite’. Arguably as ubiquitous as racist “antisemite” has an edge of lethal sharpness.
To be labelled antisemitic is to be allegedly guilty of one of the oldest and ugliest sins of all.
Last week a piece in the Guardian raised the spectre of antisemitism, political journalist Peter Walker nudging it as close to me as he dared after I spoke on this channel about the erosion of the thousand-year-old British constitution by one Parliament after another.
It was quite a leap, I can opine that much – but then you’d expect some convoluted reasoning from a Social Justice obsessed newspaper.
It was also imaginative dot-connecting to invite readers to infer anti-semitism in a monologue about the British constitution.
But there you go – it appears antisemitism nowadays, like sexism, misogyny, transphobia and far-right politics, is in the eye of the beholder.
Here’s the thing: as I said at the top … ugliness … unspeakable ugliness … has slithered into our public discourse like sewage from a burst pipe. It has been no accident … rather a deliberate campaign based upon application of the oldest and most childish tactic in the book … that of baseless name-calling … to shore up the defences around official narratives that are collapsing like sandcastles in the face of an incoming tide.
In the process – once important and precisely descriptive words have been utterly compromised until they mean everything and also nothing. After all, if everyone is a right-wing misogynist antisemite, then no one is.
Just as they tried to distract us, from the erosion of our liberties, right under our noses, by fear porn and nudge units … their lockdowns, face masks, forever war and climate crisis … so we are losing sight of real crimes of violence against women, abuse and discrimination on the grounds of race and the persecution of ancient faith and culture.
The truth is that we are over this now. We have had a gut full. We have seen the attempted manipulation, the wordplay and the rest … and we are not fooled for a moment. Words matter at the deepest level of our relationships with one another. Our language is what makes us human and makes possible our society and civilisation. We must reclaim the words like everything else and keep talking sense to one another.
And at the end of the day, if we must be back in the playground again, there’s this: Sticks and stones may break our bones, but names will never hurt us.
It’s somewhat sad to think Putin is currently one of the very few world leaders who is not totally insane. Compared to the Demented Fraud, Putin sounds like the voice of reason
I’ve know a long time that he is ok abd loves his country! Like President Trump loves America.
But unlike Trump Putin doesn’t promote the gay lifestyle. Strictly traditional marriage.
I have read several of the speeches of Vladimir Putin.
I am thankful that he is so clear thinking and calm because we in the west have done so terribly wrong toward Russia, Russians, and in particular, toward him. If he had been a different leader, the people of this country would have suffered much more than we are under Biden’s evil administration.
One of his greatest speeches was given on September 30, 2022. It is well worth reading. His clear-eyed view of the evil that we are enduring under Biden, under left-wing ideologues, under uncaring “elites” and the view of US policies in the world in the last 30-40 years makes it obvious that he understands a lot more than our propaganda-media has told us citizens of the Western nations. He talks about the use, or rather mis-use of words.
The Saker posted a translation and commentary on that speech, as well as a video with English subtitles.
https://thesaker.is/putins-september-30-2022-speech-a-commented-reading/
I approach with caution any former KGB and thus Communist.
Just because Putin calls out insanity doesn’t make him a hero it only means he’s also targeted by the WEF as uncontrollable.
Perhaps actually research Putin’s affiliation with the KGB, rather than assuming that what you read in western media is correct. Putin is a lawyer, educated in St Petersburg, and, for much of his life, was actually pro western. He was not the murdering KGB spy that you read about, but rather a legal bureaucrat in the KGB. It is perhaps more to the point to ‘approach with caution’ western leaders whose politics are aimed at the control of your society.
Hold on a minute….did I say murder or spy? Lets stick to the facts please. KGB and Communist are given.
Do you not acknowledge Putin took Russia well away from any hope of a representative republic or democracy?
Let’s be very clear sighted and measure people by their deeds and not their words.
Russia has elections..and right now, Putin holds an 80%+ favorability rate in Russia. While the US would prefer a weak Russia as was apparent in the 1990’s, Putin has moved his country into a world leader, with traditional values, etc. Do not conflate the USSR with Russia….they are two entirely separate entities.
Indeed.
It is also helpful to keep in mind that the West sent Lenin and financed his Bolshevik Revolution, who hated a murdered Russians by the tens of millions, and when the Soviet Union fell we merely sent robber barons and began exploiting the power vacuum to expand NATO against our word to not do so.
Putin did not call the collapse of the Soviet Union a tragic Geo-political disaster because he mourned Communism, but because we effed it up so bad, not sitting down to draw fair lines to protect ethnic Russians and encourage a genuine peace.
Indeed, Belle is correct, his speeches are genuine statecraft worthy of contemplation, would that the West would become as serious about being a serious stable and righteous people.
Speaking of statecraft–on a lighter note–on Amazon, you can find a 13-episode Russian tv series from 2017 called The Optimists. It is about a fictional Foreign Ministry unit in Moscow having adventures during the Khrushchev years, “The Thaw,” when contact with the West and diplomacy were picking up pace. Very well done, and a good reminder that there is such a thing as diplomacy! Our current day Washington seems to know only the language of threats.
Whoa again …Russia has elections …… with a known outcome. Call it a soft dictatorship or whatever you will but no argument will make Russia a representative form of government at this time.
The strong man of a country always has favorable polls to show the outside world there are lots of examples.
I repeat let’s not talk preferences, polls or the subjective term “traditional values” let’s look at facts.
Ever been to Russia? One look at Moscow might make you reconsider that “world leader” subjective.
Actually, the country that has elections with a ‘known outcome’ is the US, no? Where do you get your ‘information’ that the election outcome is ‘known’ in Russia?? And it appears that perhaps you have not recently been to Moscow. There are quite a few current videos on the internet that belie your supposition.
Last time I visited Moscow the 4 star I stayed at had tap water so filthy you didn’t dare brush your teeth with it for fear of having to go on IV antibiotics.
Sound great?
so kinda like Flint MI
No, but two dudes can’t get “married” and adopt hostages like your beloved representative republic.
Sounds either like a longtime ago, or BS. Or maybe 4 star wasn’t really 4 star
If you’ve been to Russia you should be aware of the terror that happened after the fall of the Soviet Empire.
That nation was in serious jeopardy of being broken up into little kingdoms ruled by oligarchs and war lords.
It took a strong man to save them. One willing to be strong, and ruthless when necessary. This is why he is admired and respected in his country.
The alternative would have been a true nightmare for Russians, and the world too.
You say that as if our months long voting by mail and weeks long counts are a fair election , Have you ever been to Detroit ,east St Louis , south side of Chicago or through some of the Indian reservations ? If not you need to look for your self ! Now go hump your blue and Yellow flag !
Really? Has anyone here stated they support Ukraine?
We’re bad so that means they’re good? What kind of yardstick id that?
Just because the neocons and the dims love to bash Russia and use that as an excuse to money launder DOES NOT make Russia right.
They’re both wrong or is that too hard a concept to comprehend?
You need a thermometer to take the temperature of world affairs. Thanks to “elections”, like California, the white house permanently belongs to the Democrats. Trump was the last GOP president forever more.
Maybe Harry, just maybe you’d be off only by the word “permanently: unless GOP new-version is so “well evolved or adjusted” that we can comfortably claim the “GOP” died.
It needs mentioning that he managed to rid himself of critical journalists by throwing some out of hotel windows as suicides and he had a rival poisoned by plutonium. He may love Mother Russia, but of a dictatorial version.
For whatever reason, Putin doesn’t like “wokery.”
ROFLOL
Your first clue that putin isn’t as bad as ‘they’ say he is, is that ‘they’ are saying he is.
‘They’ being the same folks that call everyone racist, stand behind mutilating children, deliberately inflate food and energy prices, steal elections, want to grab everyones guns, and hate the constritution and bill of rights.
You wont find videos coming out of russia, of gang thefts in department stores, obamas sons beating yours in schools, or the alphabet mafia calling shots for everyone else.
Just because I’m happy Putin is in opposition to WEF DAVOS doessn’t cause me to lose my critical thinking abilities.
Who is the aggressor in Ukraine?
Who was the aggressor in Georgia?
Who Has troops in the middle East? Syria?
Who had demonstrators arrested back in 2012 after calls of election rigging?
Who provided lots of arms to Africa?
Who help arm the Taliban?
How many dead are there in Ukraine? Not just troops but civilians from taking out power grids?
Facts are stubborn things and actions are the measurement not pretty speeches.
Ukraine brought than on themselves by bringing in missiles . Now name all the places we have troops and what countries have we not armed ?
Does our wrongs make their wrongs right?
Conflating arguments here.
Do their wrongs make our government’s right?!
How about honestly recognizing what Putin has done for his country and how our country has been consistently, over the last 100+ years, turned into the world’s worst criminal enterprise by the stupid evil people “elected” to run it?
If actions speak louder than words, then Putin is clearly the better — much better! — man.
NATO and the US are the aggressors in Ukraine. Are you playing dumb? Everything else you said reads like a 1st year college student’s term paper. You’re critical thinking abilities are pathetic.
Really unworthy of a reply but ad hominem attacks prove what?
Read up on Putin:
https://nypost.com/2020/06/27/how-vladimir-putins-dirty-power-grabs-made-him-a-modern-czar/
You think that western media is going to be at all truthful about Vladimir Putin? That article is propaganda.
Listen to a Russian then, who was one of Yeltsin’s right hand men.
“Yeltsin believed he had a mission, and so does Putin,” Mr Solovei says. “Yeltsin saw himself as Moses: he wanted to lead his country out of its communist slavery.
“Putin’s mission is to return to the past. He wants to avenge what he calls ‘the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th Century’, the fall of the USSR. He and his entourage, former KGB officers, believe the destruction of the Soviet Union was the work of Western intelligence services.”
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50807747
Stick to critical arguments… You quite obviously took away nothing from Neil Oliver’s article. Attack by name calling or denigrating remarks are exactly the point.
i wonder who has wasted more money in Ukraine the USA or Russia ?
Fact:
Ukraine started the war against ethinc Russians in 2014. They were shelling their own towns and citizens up to and during the Russian invasion.
Absolutely true! Someone was shelling eastern Ukraine weekly since 2014 and daily for 2 years before the invasion, and it wasn’t Russia.
“Russian invasion”…..you lost me and my attention right there!
From LawEnforcementToday
Newly released tape appears to show Obama State Dept. plotting Ukraine coup using Biden’s help
“Victoria Nuland, who served in the State Department under Obama was actually caught on tape planning that coup in Ukraine,” – ” which destabilized the region and in turn provoked Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade and annex Crimea.”
“Nuland is currently serving in the Biden administration—also known as Obama’s “third term”—as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. Nuland recently testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and amazingly nobody, including Republicans, questioned her about her past actions in Ukraine.”
Uh, the US has troops in Syria, just happens to be in the area of the major oil wells from which we are stealing 66,000 or so barrels of oil a day.
Ukraine was the planned aggressor in the Donbas. On Feb 16 Ukraine’s 150,000 troops lined up on the border of the Donbas began to bomb civilian areas in Donetsk and Lugansk again in defiance of the Minsk agreements. Ukraine had already killed 14,000 ethnic Russia people in the Donbas supplied with weapons and training from the CIA.
Who backed and paid those demonstrators back in 2012 in Russia? The US and western-backed NGO’s.
The US provides tons of arms to Africa. The US is the biggest arms dealer to the world. The US armed the Taliban with $83 billion in weapons we left them and funded Al Qaida from the 1980’s onward. The US is still giving money to the Taliban and Al Qaida.
There are close to 257,000 dead troops in Ukraine because the US refused to allow Ukraine to continue peace talks in Istanbul. There are dead in Ukraine because the west continues to send arms and money to Ukraine to continue the war and tells them to continue the war because NATO and the west doesn’t want to lose.
And yesterday, we were told that all those HIMARS missiles that are being rained down on civilian areas of Donetsk City and other towns in the Donbass are getting aiming coordinates by US intelligence. So US intelligence is responsible for dozens of dead civilians in markets and residences that the US has targeted.
Putin in his own words
https://news.yahoo.com/putin-still-communist-party-card-likes-socialist-ideals-183734163.html
The answer to your question? USA
Each of your supposed bad points has a U.S. government equivalent, if not overwhelmingly worse.
How many U.S. military bases are planted in non-U.S. soil in the world? How many Russian?
Yeah.
Please name the Communists who want and would permit Christianity and bring back Christian churches? Putin has brought back Christianity to his far more populous Christian people, and opened and rebuilt and restored more Christian churches than any U.S. or Western country, which are openly hostile to Christianity, regardless of affiliation or denomination.
Christianity is the sworn enemy of Marxism.
Many of us have had bad jobs as young people. How many of us have used the experience and knowledge gained in those early jobs to thwart and defeat the bad things enabled by those jobs, and deliberately used the good things to improve his peoples’ lives?
Which branch or even leader in the U.S. government or the U.N. or the E.U. has striven to give back their people’s freedoms and liberties as Putin has in his country?
Which country’s leaders have used the last three years to make their people’s lives worse, deliberately disrupting supply chains, cutting off food and fuel, actively killing chickens and other livestock, attacking and destroying food processing plants, chicken farms and egg farms, and power plants? Not in Ukraine, but right here on our own soil, to hurt our own people! And it’s happening all over the Western world, to the people, by their own “leaders.”
Putin may be lots of things. But at his worst he can’t hold a candle to the U.S. government or those of the other Western countries.
Yes, facts are stubborn things, and actions are the measurement, not pretty speeches — like, for instance, the recent SOTU, for instance.
You fail to see the main point that it is not a comparison of Russia or Ukraine or the USA.
All three are bad at this moment in time.
Repeat! All three are bad at this point in time
as is China for that matter.
Why rate how bad each is?
It is not a comparison and these things are not mutually exclusive.
This isn’t a sports competition.
(*bad is meant to be descriptive in this instance of how each country treats its own and others citizens.)
You turned the discussion in the first place to a comparison between Putin and Russia and the U.S.
But at least you’re having to admit the U.S. is not even close to what Putin and the Russian people have turned their country into, that the Satanists of the former Christian western world are denying and desperately trying to destroy.
Yes, the situation screams out for comparisons, and the fact is Russia far outstrips the U.S. and the rest of the former Christian west in terms of goodness and truth.
Russia and Putin are not “perfect,” but they’re a darn sight closer to that — and to God! — than the rest of us.
Which, of course, is why they’re hated by TPTB of the rest of us. While God is a gentleman, and will let us choose whom we will serve, His and our arch enemy is not, and until that Final Day, will seek to dominate and destroy everything and everyone who prefers God to him.
OF COURSE it’s a “comparison”! And the contrast is bright and stark and plain for all honest people to see.
How miserably far this country and the rest of the once-Christian west has fallen!
And denial will not save them. Even if they should finally eliminate Putin and begin to malevolently destroy Russia.
God sees. God knows. And He will sort things out in His time. And woe to His enemies.
Each country needs to be measured by how it measures up to the standards of the West/Christianity which made those countries the best in the world (not perfect, but the best).
That our country has suffered severe destruction of its founding principles does not excuse another for its vileness.
I wish people would stop missing Monticello’s sincere and realistic assessment of Putin. He may mean well (we know no one’s soul), but some of his behavior is terrible. Just because he seems to be against our enemies’ beliefs and behaviors is no reason to provide him a halo.
He funds the Orthodox church as a stabilizing force. The surviving Orthodox church is one with the state since long before the 1917 Communist Revolution.
Um, okay.
I would say each nation/state should measure themselves by Christ, not even “the West/Christianity.” There’s well enough hypocrisy and cruelty to go around in the West’s steadily degenerating Christianity. We wouldn’t be in the place we are today, any of us in the former “Christian” west, if Christ had been our measuring stick.
2 Corinthians 10 applies, don’t you think?
Are you aware that up until the Bolshevik coup, Russia was indeed considered a part of Christian Europe? Are you aware that for the most of the 2,000 years since Christ’s Resurrection, all churches were “one with the state”? Most of the blood shed in Christ’s Name during those years in the Christian west was shed between leaders of the church(es) and the state(s). The Anglican/Episcopal church in America was subsidized by the state(s) in the original 13 colonies from their founding to about the middle of the 19th century; I believe there was one still until fairly recently.
Another country’s vileness does not excuse our own. Before pointing fingers and excoriating another, we need to clean up our own. Past glories are badly soiled — and betrayed and belied! — by our government’s own stupid and rampant vileness. And as Sundance has been uncovering on this site for quite some time now, the horror and outrage of what this government has done, hiding behind those past glories, and is still doing did not start with Obama.
Monticello’s assessment of Putin may be very sincere; no one doubts that. But it’s not realistic. We have hardly any truthful reporting on who Putin is or has done or intends, especially from our enemy and his, THIS government and its “intelligence community.” We really do not know how terrible “some” of his behavior is. This government NEEDS him to be terrible. That’s testimony to its deliberate slander of him. By his behavior, we CAN see what he has done for his country and his people. The results are obvious to the whole world, and this evil government is no longer able to cover it up. That’s a very good thing. The more they lie and obfuscate, the worse this government looks by comparison.
Only God provides halos. But He expects us who claim Him to tell the Truth. And when the truth about Putin is told, this government’s demons are revealed. Time to address this government’s ongoing and deliberate evil and support for the evil powers-that-be.
He may fund the Russian Orthodox Church as a stabilizing force. So what? The people now have access to Christ they didn’t have, on pain of death or gulag, for 80 years under the Communists. They have the freedom and means to build their families, farms, industries, and lives back, without the reigning degeneracy that now characterizes this country and all the rest of formerly Christian Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
Plain facts show us, if we care to be honest about ourselves, we stopped measuring up to anything good long ago, while under Putin Christ has been re-embraced and the people and their country are rebuilding and thriving.
That, more than anything else, is the real reason Putin and “Russia” have been made into our enemy. Please look into the realities of the reasons this government is doing what its doing. Putin could be Christ Himself, and this government would still hate him for daring to reject subjection to it. There we have the reality of what’s going on. It really has nothing to do with Putin himself. It has everything to do with the long goals of the evil people behind this government. Every. Single. Day.
There was never a valid reason for this government to go beyond our own borders and coasts. Think about that. What other countries do, as long as they do not set foot on our soil without our — not our “government’s” — specific invite, is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. Period.
I don’t acknowledge that. It’s too soon. How’s your utopian representative republic working out for the great USA?
Greatest nation which ever existed on this earth. Just because the grifters and Alinsky crowd screwed things can’t change the promise of what was and could be again Lord willing.
Without recognizing and owning one’s own sins, not blaming anyone else, and repentance, there is no salvation.
Luke 18:9-14; 11:37-54
Whew.
Am I wrong? Miss something?
Your mission to save a country, me or yourself? And what has that to do with Vladimir Putin or the use of words by the progressives?
Log, splinter eye.
I offer that many here may have misinterpreted Sundance’s meaning by posting Putin’s words. I took it to mean that such speech is like a red flag to progressives not an endorsement of Putin.
I have never noticed any endorsement of Putin on this site? You?
Sundance has at least once in my recollection offered the same many of us have:
I’m rooting for Putin.
Yes, evidently you are wrong and are missing something. According to Jesus Christ Almighty God, anyone who comes to Him must obey Him, and His Great Commission (Matthew 28:17-20) is in fact that we are to go into all the world and preach Him and thereby save as many countries as possible.
Do you read His Word any different?
The rest of us evidently saw the relevance of Putin’s words to the message Neil Oliver was bringing; Putin has always repudiated the whole stupid, Marxist “progressive” mission. And WITH HIM, we should be, too, for the many reasons, and more, that Oliver discussed.
If Putin’s speech is a red flag to progressives (and it jolly well should be!), why shouldn’t the truth of what he says be endorsed? Exactly what would be wrong if there were an endorsement of Putin, based on his words and the facts of what he’s done for his country?
Based on that, I can heartily endorse him! Hail a fellow Christian, who’s actually obeying Christ! An example, an inspiration for the rest of us!
Luke 15:11-32; 23:26-43
You say that like we still have fair elections and a government not out only for them selves .
Vladimir Putin holds not only a law degree, but also a PhD in Economics from the Saint Petersburg Mining University with a thesis on the strategic planning of the mineral economy.
CUT THE CORD
He is no worse than the covid murdering monsters.
Granted and agreed but don’t you agree that’s a pretty low bar?
not really because the Covid monsters are here .
The motives of Putin and his real objectives can and should always be considered with great caution.
That being said , the conduct of those who oppose Putin and Russia have committed grave errors in the way they have conducted themselves over the past 20 years.
Putin’s motives being genuine or opportunistic are irrelevant at this point in history.
The undeniable fact is that the NATO/USA conduct has enabled Putin to take the high ground.
The provable ,dishonest , corrupt ,racist ,blood thirsty actions of the NATO alliance is there for all who wants to see.
In business negotiations it is important to avoid using sharp negotiation tactics .
While giving momentary advantage sharp tactics ,in the end ,will cost the offender dearly.
Much of the money I have made in my life has been due to being able to capitalize on the sharp tactic of the offender.
In my case it always increased the amount of potential financial gain I acquired from the sharp hapless negotiator .
In their case it cost them only money.
In the situation in Ukraine it is costing hundreds of thousands innocent lives as well as the future of an entire country .
The country of Ukraine is no more. It has been looted and then destroyed.
They already lost the war.
Just research the Minsk accords .
You will find that the signers on NATO’s side had no intention of abiding the agreement.
Hell They have publicly announced their intent not to follow it.
That is as sharp a negotiating tactic that can be employed.
Totally immoral, dishonest
, and corrupt.
As I said we must be very cautious as to Putin in this Ukraine ( undeclared NATO war against Russia).
As to NATO and The USA their actions have absolutely been on the wrong side of history and growing more so every day.
Those hundreds of thousands of lives could have been easily saved if NATO stood by the peacefully intended Minsk agreement they all signed with no intentions of following through on.
Hundreds of thousands of lives lost with the potential of that awful brutal number doubling
Where the calls for meaningful negotiation to end the fighting?
Where are the peace protestors?
Where is Bernie Sanders ?
Their peaceful intentions never were real . Thay are called Antifa and Black lives matter these days.
They have a much more important issue these days.
The corrosion of every facet of democracy we once knew in this country. They
Agree wholeheartedly. My best measure of Putin is that he is an opportunist and a very sharp operator.
Putin has proven himself through his actions not just words. He walks the walk.
Just like Xi right? SMDH.
No, just like Christ wants all of us to. Putin has evidently chosen the narrow path, with many obstacles and trials, while Xi, with the rest of the godless, anti-Christ, western world-U.S. crowd, cruise along on the broad path that leads to destruction.
There is a difference, isn’t there?
By the way, in His time, Jesus was seen as an opportunist and a very sharp operator, too. That’s why they had to get rid of Him. Yes?
Do you know why His followers, after His resurrection, were persecuted and martyred?
Yeah.
Because they walked the walk as well as talked the talk, against the path Xi has chosen, and the U.S. and the erstwhile Western world has chosen.
All around are “strongmen.” It has always been so (Genesis 10:8-12). It matters who the strongmen follow, as shown by their words and deeds.
we have had skull and crossbones Presidents and ex CIA Presidents . How is this any different . Meanwhile our Government is all on board with a OWO and the WEF .
And THAT is exactly the view they are exploiting, for THEIR ends.
Putin’s speech and the comments throughout the speech transcript by The Saker is well worth one’s time.
One of he Saker comments on a particular section of the speech:
Comment: lies are not a feature of the western civilizational realm. Lies are its intellectual cement, that which holds ALL of their “ideologies of the day” together in spite of their quite apparent inhumanity and evil. The West now lives in a “post-truth” society which not only lies and embraces self-evident falsehoods, it is a society which has basically negated the meaning of the word “truth”. Instead, it has come up with a much simpler principle: if it feels good, then it is good. Situational morals, expediency, hypocrisy – call it what you want, we all know what this is: absolute evil
Putin: The West clearly did not expect such insubordination. They simply got used to acting according to a template, to grab whatever they please, by blackmail, bribery, intimidation, and convinced themselves that these methods would work forever, as if they had fossilised in the past.
“They even got away with 911.”
I have never before thought of 9/11 as an inside job. I’m not so sure now after witnessing the last three years. There’s nothing I would put past the corrupt and Satanic criminals running the governemnt.
I did.
The patriot act.
Isn’t it cruelly hilarious how everything that they do is completely opposite of what it’s called?
Hey, inflation reduction act……. bahaha
Three buildings demolitioned. The third to make sure you knew what had actually happened to the other two. Then, overt government action, not to uncover the truth but to hide it. The PATRIOT Act hung in the balance. All thousand-plus pages of it were already written, and waiting to be passed.
Physics can explain the collapse of the buildings.
Once the steel struture in the building designed for static loading was compromised from high heat (the yield strength of steel decreases dramatically at higher temperatures), the columns and girders yielded and the load from the floors above the fires became dynamic as they moved/fell lower with a velocity. The dynamic loading increased as the upper floor’s downward velocity increased, causing each lower floor structure to be overloaded by the dynamic forces of each collapsing level.
Please look up AE911truth.org (Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth), and also their YT channel. These people have nothing to gain from telling the truth than to finally see truth exposed to defeat the lies our government has told us.
Remember how quick and up and running Homeland Security came into existence after 911? Officially announced as a full fledge agency in about 6 weeks.
Although the commentator is strangely self-deprecating at the end, his comments are a very valuable addition.
Indeed, this was one of the most timely and important political speeches recently made.
If he was anything like our po-ta-to, we’d all be dead. Thank goodness he is a clear thinking individual especially since according to what I’ve read, he has 6000 nuclear weapons and plenty of reason (Nord Stream) to use them.
The essay above is not that surprisingly different than ten years ago. Then it was obvious that they were well into the AGENDA 21 PROGRAM. And of course the people’s had no idea that it even happened. More Americans need to understand AGENDA21…Its been going on in America. The Deep State has made sure of that. Think about all the school problems, election fraud and much more. If Europe is on a scale of eight out of ten in the AGENDA21 explanation and America is on the scale of maybe four. If this insidious plan is to be stopped more Citizens need to understand AGENDA21 and how it has evolved and how it can be arrested.
And has been subsumed into the escalating and worse Agenda 30, with its 17 goals — too many of which have already been achieved.
These are not good people.
I’ve seen this before. As the Bizarro world turns, these are the days of our lives.
Trump/Putin 2024
LOL!
Though Putin does seem to know as much about what is going on in the west as our most favored President Donald John Trump. Maybe he knows more since he has many working for him while PDJT has many working against him.
As usual, JMHO.
A Must-Read to understand Russia vs. the USSR. From the perspective of famous Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in May, 1994.
https://www.forbes.com/2008/08/05/solzhenitsyn-forbes-interview-oped-cx_pm_0804russia.html?sh=2d4ecde15f53
Which ends with this:
“AS: If one looks far into the future, one can foresee in the 21st century such a time when the U.S. together with Europe will be in dire need of Russia as an ally.
PK: That is a puzzling assertion.
AS: It is puzzling only for those who don’t look into the future and do not see what kind of new powers are arising in the world.”
Putin seems to be the sole defender of “Western Civilization” and our human foundational values. I first noticed the political attack against Putin when Obama refused to attend the Sochi Winter Olympics due to Putins position against the LGBT agenda coming into Russian society.
Labels of “racist, anti-semite, Nazi” are hurled to stifle intelligent conversation, erased history and truth.
The Saul Alinsky playbook. Been used successfully many times, most notably during the 1996 Republican primaries and the one candidate who was PDJT & MAGA before MAGA, Pat Buchanan. Tried it on Candidate Trump & it finally did not work.
Zero was a University Alinsky Professor only in the sense of professing his fealty to the Demonic tactics and ends of that foul man.
His dedication of his rule book to Lucifer was not tongue in cheek: all Communists and flavors thereof seek the destruction of the works of Heaven.
All should watch this short clip. My thanks Maquis.
Ben Carson links Clinton to Lucifer
Carson is so calm and unflappable as he encourages the actual study of the book which his host merely Googled for a synopsis of before challenging this Patriot on his declamation of Hillary’s allegiance to its author.
Great clip, Colkitto.
If only, if only Donald Trump had made this splendid man his Vice=President.
We’d live in a far different world today..
Yes. But to keep it in perspective, Hillary is just one of thousands. They’re all Satans followers.
GB:
I don’t know if these savages are literally worshippers of Satan, but they surely are not Christians.
The western world, for a thousand years, has been populated by Christians.
We live in a far different culture, and people simply do not grasp the fundamental change.
If Heaven and Hell do not exist in your mindset, you are a savage.
European Kings and Queens made endless war on each other throughout the middle ages, but they shared common values.
Like a football game without referees, such is medieval warfare.
We now totter on the pinpoint of nuclear war.
If war does not represent a descent into hell, then why not?
Well, both our Father and His Son have told us that unless we follow Him, we are following the temptations of the Adversary.
Worship essentially means to place at a persons highest priority. These evil people place material wealth and power at their highest priority, and other peoples welfare at the bottom of their priorities.
That sounds a lot more like what Satan wants them to do, rather than how God and Jesus want us to live.
You & dantes are 100% correct (and no disrespect to Raptors). Baal worship never died, though the name was changed. The Podesta emails backed up what Texxe mars & others had been saying for years. My thanks friend. Go with God
TY! You are spot-on with your observation re. Baal / Podesta …etc.
Peace to you!
It is a very binary choice: you are either with God and Jesus OR YOU ARE NOT. Choosing to NOT be a follower of Jesus Christ means that you have chosen “NOT”.
Matthew 7:16-20
King James Version
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
They may not necessarily get down on their knees in front of their alter for Satan but they do their work for him and their thinking for him. The Mark of the Beast is IN your hand (work) and IN your head (thinking). Revelation 13: 16-17.
My name is Legion.
Carson was my first choice for President in 2016. His intellect and decency, however, are incompatible with the American political system. To get to the top you have to fight dirty and fight often.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton was the Presidential nominee of the American Workers Party ( i. e. communist). She was never asked about it, or asked to renounce that endorsement.
Hang all who follow Alinsky.
Though most adults would say this is childish and silly, but, it is their rule book. There are no rules with these stunted leftist creeps. Find a rock on the ground, throw it, find a pile of dung on the ground wallo in it and then sling the crap on everyone.
We must understand this enemy and their greatest fear, being reverse Alinsky’d. They can’t handle it, truth, be sure to protect yourself but it’s what’s gotta happen. give as good as we get and they will just slink off.
Andrew Breitbart used this tactic often when he’d wade into a gathering of witless leftist “protestors” and ask them to explain their latest injustice du jour. Invariably they’d be in a state of group confusion, roll up their signs, shut their vile witless mouths and runaway.
The time to fight these creeps is now.
That was partly why I always admired Buchanan, he would give it back, though it was in a polite & refined way.
I watched him on the David Brinkley Show take on Donaldson, Brinkley, Will, & Roberts and thrash the four of them at the same time. His books are highly recommended. Regards sir
At this point the only reason I would not move to Russia is the language. Many Americans are moving there.
I’ve been there and many speak English.
Very nice people as well.
I wish I had the courage of Sundance or Mark Steyn or Neil Oliver to stand up to the totalitarians.
So many of us can work up the courage to resist for a short time.
But the resistance must be total, and the resistance must be forever.
Instead of empty words about the Second Amendment, give to Sundance. Donate to Sundance.
Click on the “Donate” symb0l on this page. Too tough for you, idiot?
Mark Steyn will permit you to join Steynonline for three months for $45.
Save all the tough talk, and simply give to the tough men, the brave men.
My first expenditure every month, without fail.
I just gave again, Maquis.
I’m aware that Steyn regards me as an idiot, but I just re-joined Steynonline, because the imperative of free speech trumps all.
Katie does a fine job speaking about GBN
Good for her. She speaks bluntly and honestly. I wouldn’t be surprised if Neil Oliver leaves that network as well, unless he is sufficiently content with whatever limitations they place on his commentary.
He’ll likely stay as long as possible, picking his words carefully, because of the vastness of the platform. The more people reached with truth, the better. He is not “content with whatever limitations,” but is smarter, and will take advantage of every little opening he can find.
By the way, he has his own YT channel, too. He’s managed to cleverly slip by those stupid censors so far.
If you would be heard, you must go outside the closed rooms.
Also, Katie has her own YT channel, too!
Instead of criticizing GB News with such fervor Katie Hopkins should criticize the British government, particularly the Office of Communications – or Ofcom as they call it affectionately – which has been given tremendous power to crush unwanted outlets with huge fines for wrongthink. GB News don’t want censorship but they don’t want to perish either, but they get attacked because they are weak and can’t fight back.
She has and does. Jeesh. Pay attention and stop knee jerking off one clip. The dismissallisms around here are thru the roof.
Check out her own YT channel. There’s more than enough criticism of the British (and all authoritarian and totalitarian!) government! She never lets it rest.
I miss Tommy Robinson, too, but he was just too volatile for the government to handle. The blame was laid, always, right squarely where it belonged, at the government’s stupid feet, and loudly and hard and long! They couldn’t keep him in jail too long; people knew him and knew too much about what TPTB were doing to him.
He still sends out e-newsletters, but I’ve had to let my subscription slip. He and Katie worked together MANY times against what was going on.
Katie is a fearless and fearsome fighter against the government, TPTB!
“Additionally, how the politically correct (culturally Marxist) intents of the progressive movement, intentionally downplay very real and dangerous outcomes by ignoring events that should be described by the words they overuse.”
They may be culturally Marxist, but they are operationally corporatist (merger of state and corporate power) , aka fascist.
As to the so-called progressive movement, they want to regress back before the Bill of Rights, before the US Constitution, before the Declaration of Independence, before even the Enlightenment itself all the way back to the time of the Inquisitions complete with heretics to be canceled, so why call them Progressives?
These are also word games of the same tribe of anti-humanists.
They are all on the deep left Demonic end of the spectrum, prone to squabble amongst themselves as an ill raised brood of thieves, slandering each other as they compete for their unjust claims to other’s lives and labors, with nary a whit of difference ‘tween their dark hearts.
I once asked a progressive “when does a progressive arrive?” He just looked at me.
Here’s a good quick read about the history and tenets of the Progressive movement. I’d say it’s aligned with Marxist principles.

(I know the majority of genuine votes did not vote for Dementia Joe)
This one is a keeper!
Neil Sage of Scots is a treasure, a poet warrior extraordinaire.
I’ve been banned from at least 5 chat forums for being “right wing, fascist, misogynistic, racist, transphobe”,
just as Neil describes.
When PDJT won, it was on. I supported him, and the slurs and bans started.
Before PDJT, everything was copacetic.
The English language is one of the most articulate languages around. There are so many synonyms and different ways to express a thought or concept without verbally assaulting others’ character. Most commenting forums these days have a short tolerance for those who delight in using offensive language.
While I won’t say that there aren’t plenty of lowlife characters who deserve a good verbal tongue lashing, it simply doesn’t carry much credibility and tends to leave its user open for equally offensive retorts. Most comment forums dislike seeing those kind of schoolyard childish verbal battles occur in their forums and will fairly or unfairly kick out those who engage in them.
Here’s a decent guide: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/academic_writing/using_appropriate_language/index.html
Nah, they started under Obama. They were emboldened by him. It was during Trump I got a break, but then was really a disgusting right winger, now I am just disgusting with no right to live according to them.
Yahoo comments had to shut down completely and revamp because the MAGA posters were owning the Yahoo/dnc troll bots and to much truth was getting out.
Words, words, words……they only have meaning to what people want them to mean. Does the phrase, “Shall not be” carry any distinctions from “Will not be”? As in, “Shall not be infringed”. No, but people will assign whatever it is they want to it to satisfy their beliefs..
“Shall” is the emphatic form in conjugation when used with 2nd and 3rd person subjects. “Will” is the future form with 2nd and 3rd person.
The writers of the Constitution knew their conjugations and used the word “shall” on purpose. In the amendments, the use of the word “shall” means definitely and indicates a command, a strong assertion, or a promise. When the Constitution says, “rights….shall not be infringed” it means that under no circumstances can this be infringed by government.
Hence the absurd notion of a Living Constitution, so that it’s genius meaning and intent can die so that it shambles on as an inelegant blunt weapon.
Yes! And Noah Webster made sure their definitions of words were absolute. They said what they meant and meant what they said.
As a small child, I had a cloth book telling the creation story. It was illustrated by hand and written in French. I have no recollection of where it came from, or what happened to it. But I do remember this:
“…et le bon Dieu dit que la Lumiere soit. Et la Lumiere fut….”(accent marks are missing)
Words matter. Or in this case, words are matter.
Merveille!
I don’t understand all the so called “conservative” sites that jump on the band wagon and “automatically” use the PC language. If they are really “conservative”, why don’t they stick with what the words we use mean? I think deep down it’s all controlled opposition.
An example: sites are using the “pronouns” the its want to be called. Is that bowing down to the language or what!
If Ridicule is the best weapon , we don’t or can’t do it.
Many of those sites are simply outrage theater, working people up with little substance, no solutions, but in the end, as you note, normalizing the very vile vernacular they decry.
Yes sir, agree totally with outrage theater and no solutions. Here we seem to be looking for solutions like throwing sand in the machine.
I’m reluctant to post and Admin should delete if inappropriate. Not advertising the site but it is an all inclusive look at sites I think a lot of us read all in one place.
politipage.us
Admin, please delete site if inappropriate. Thank you.
We share here all the time, one of the many wonderful things about our Treehouse, and there’s no professional jealousy whatsoever, so no worries, making this a learning conversation and expanding our horizons is what we do, all day every day.
Bravo! A “like” just wasn’t quite enough.
I agree! Most Conservative sites are absolutely controlled opposition.
Reminds me of even Fox calling illegal aliens invaders migrants .
“we have grown accustomed to the knee-jerk application of lazy slurs and the smearing of reputations, to the casual abuse of those around us with some of the vilest accusations imaginable.”
There’s regulars here that toss those slurs (or insinuated slurs) out every time anyone criticizes or disagrees with their “anointed” group.
They’ve got everyone afraid to push back because everyone is afraid of being called more names.
They got us here gradually starting in the 60’s (remember when sterotyping was their catchphrase?) and it will be a long way back.
Perhaps.
But as Neil Oliver notes, these words, while repurposed to destroy, for the most part once had a vital utility whose overuse and misuse has muffled them, and that is the second tragedy of the scheme, to rob us of the value of those words when they are indeed the only appropriate words to apply to a given matter.
Sometimes a hater really is a hater.
It’s just the same ancient techniques that they used to get pharaoh to release them. I don’t care about the color of the cells on Kanye’s spreadsheet. MSM is just evil, intentionally trying to destroy the USA 🇺🇸, Christian nations, freedom. They prey & play people’s Pride
What? Who is this “they” to which you refer?
Please clarify because the people Pharaoh released were Jews…..
Israelites!
There is the Tribe of Israel and the Tribe of Judah. A lot of people do not seem to realize that there is a difference.
“Jacob –son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham – fathered 12 sons, including Judah. God later changed Jacob’s name to Israel (Genesis 32:25‒32), and the descendants of his sons became known as the 12 Tribes of Israel.
Two Kingdoms
The tribes lived as a united nation through the reign of King David’s son, Solomon. After Solomon died, the Israelites divided into two separate kingdoms, each with its own king.
The Southern Kingdom was called Judah and included the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. The Northern Kingdom was called Israel and comprised the tribes of Reuben, Simeon, Manasseh, Issachar, Zebulun, Ephraim, Dan, Asher, Naphtali and Gad.”
Please do some deeper research. It’s much more than just this.
Yep and they stole their masters jewelry on the way out so some things never change with that tribe .
Who Benefitted From This Chaos of Covid Lockdowns and tyranny
1. The tech companies
2. The pharmaceutical companies
3. Public health intellectuals,
4. The mega-billionaire Bill Gates
5. Government officials certainly had a field day trying out new uses of power.
6. Media companies
7. The Chinese government
8. Rabid opponents of the Trump administration,
9. School teachers’ unions that have been wanting to strike for years in order to extract pay and benefits from the taxpayer,
10. A ruling-class population that has lost touch with people
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/who-benefitted-chaos
Just another prediction regarding Fabian Socialism. Doublespeak.
Boy, what a quote from George Orwell. Thanks, Sundance!
I used to enjoy Neil Oliver but I don’t anymore. Like Fox News it’s like a fact that the election is over before it’s over. Or the present matters more than the future. Don’t tell me what I know, tell me we can change, or not because where we are is unacceptable and how we are to change is important.
I always go with God on anything so I say speak of God and truth more than lies from this corrupt world. Did you know just communing with others about what great things God has done for you brings his presence? Same as satan.
Saul Alinsky must be proud of his self indulgent radicals!
I enjoyed this one a lot, thanks Sundance
It’s not hard to trace language and these ugly tactics back to Mao’s red army. Soon us “Right Wingers” will be targeted for destruction and require immediate vanex to our Taiwan ….
How about we start using words !
The WEF Davos crowd and sycophants are pigs never satisfied with their gluttony.
Their behavior is barbaric to the extreme; instead of the man with the strongest sword its the man with the largest purse! Might does not make right but don’t try to sell that to Bill Gates.
They view all the useful idiot media, academia and politicians as lower than something they’d not stoop to scrape off their shoe.
These fat bloated Jobba the Huts are ridiculous losers that were probably made fun of and ostracized even in their private schools as kids.
Ridicule the over rich batards who enable the ultra rich batards!
Divide and conquer. A concept as old as time.
Lets go back to when William F. Buckley fired…
Revilo P. Oliver
Joseph Sobran
Sam Francis
John Derbyshire
Or when Bartlett at the WSJ lobbied to prevent Peter Brimelow from being hired.
The process has been in place for a long time. The results are the chaos about us.
A deconstruction of civilized society.
Don’t ever give ann inch on language. Political correctness is intellectually lazy.
Building a new balkanized world, one slur at a time.
Neil is right over the target, again. people of good will must stand against these witless loud mouthed jackals and push them out of our town square.
Right on Neil! .
That’s how I felt about the terms “groomer” and “pedophile” being thrown at Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis, because he was pictured standing near some young women with what was presumably an adult beverage in his hand.
This is a maan fighting against sexual molestation of children. He was the first, to my knowledge, to correctly describe what was going on in schools as grooming.
I’m sure his enemies, such as the execrable Randi Weingarten, took delight in seeing the people who should be backing him in his fight, turn on him for political gain.
Appalling.
Well, things are starting to pop off in Britain. A 15 year old British girl recorded a 25 year old “migrant” (being housed at public expense in Liverpool) persistently propositioning her. This was posted, and a protest against the government-supported invasion outside of the hotel where the “refugees” are being housed got spicy, likely after some police provocations. After all of the government coverups of “immigrant” pedophile grooming rings, their support of the ongoing invasion seems to have stuck in the craw of the people, at least those not lost to satanic values.

It is classic Marxism and Alinsky’s rules for radicals: identify, isolate, ridicule, polarize. Classic playground bully tactics.
Every insult leftists hurl can be turned right back onto them. Every single one. The problem is that we try to use logic to make the case that what they propose is ultimately harmful to everyone involved, making them the evil they decry.
You cannot use logic; you must use ridicule and humor to shut them down.
They always think they are the good guys and that their policies help people or are fairer. It is quite easy to demonstrate that the opposite is true, making them hypocrites and easy targets for humor.
That is at least 2 of their own Alinsky-ite tactics used against them for the price of one. Making them live up to their own standards and isolating and belittling them and their idea.
All this begs the question who are these folks really??
Who are allowing this ugliness to proliferate and in many occasions pushing it along?
I’m not surprised to hear reports such as this one:
https://gab.com/BeachMilk/posts/109851273074205886
Mr. Oliver says “It was quite a leap – I can opine that much – . . .”
is this Mr. Oliver’s way of saying yes, he’s staying with GB news while letting the viewers know how much he is allowed to speak freely, thus the new face of controlled opposition?
It will be a fun day for all of us to see where he lands once he too decides to remove his shackles like that Devil key in those tarot cards where the man and woman shackled around their necks (voice box, speech) have yet to realize they can easily remove those chains all by themselves.
Until then I will still occasionally enjoy listening, such a delightful accent he has.
Marxist Noam Chomsky is a professor of linguistics for a reason: Words matter. Control the language you control the society. It’s how consent is manufactured.
A long, but very insightful read. That explains much of what we’re witnessing and experiencing. Transcript of a speech he gave in March, 1989 while on book tour for “Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media.”
https://chomsky.info/19890315/
In a nutshell, we will know each other by our words. Babble on is now.
And yet, the Murderers of Language, the MSM, are allowed to continue their Marx-worshipping reign of terror unabated, unchallenged, and unprosecuted, decade after decade after decade…
interesting that GBNEWS has given us the transcript once more….
i wonder if it has anything to do with MARK STEYN leaving and Katie Hopkins shedding light on their evil ways…
they may not want to lose another star….
“The ugliness and attempted bullying is everywhere.”

Barr has found herself in the hot seat several times in the past, but the incident that all but put an end to her career took place in 2018 when she referred to Valerie Jarrett, senior adviser to former President Barack Obama, as “a combination of the Muslim Brotherhood and the ‘Planet of the Apes.'”
Barr has since claimed that she thought Jarrett was white and that she didn’t mean what people thought she meant.
“I was just black-balled. Just totally canceled from even commenting on what happened,” Barr said in her interview with Carlson. “So I thought, well, stand-up is a great place to come back and say what happened and tell the truth about it, and also to talk about cancel culture itself and how horrible it is and how fascist.”
…..
In 1987 I attended a protest on the mall in Washington DC, and while there I purchased a tee shirt with “Free Nelson Mandela” written on the front. Next weekend I plan to attend another rally on the mall, this one to protest the perpetual state of war our leaders seem determined to maintain. While there, I hope to find and purchase a “Free Julian Assange” tee shirt. I share this because Oliver’s monologue really resonates with me.
I’m a Gen X’er who has watched the world transform such that within 30 yrs “liberals” went from being anti-war, anti-government, and anti-censorship to now embracing all three and this diametric transformation is ignored as if this has always been the status quo. I remain true to my core values yet the labels used to characterize me (and my fellow like-minded travelers in this journey through life) morph without explanation. It is up to us, individually and collectively, to refuse this transparent attempt to marginalize us or allow our fundamental values to be trivialized. One person, one family, one community, one tee shirt at a time. Remain resolute and speak the truth. We cannot be silenced without our consent.
Neil left off the most incorrectly used term thrown at political opponents. “Fascist” is the cry of any political discourse that is disagreed upon.
The term “Fascist” has a real meaning. Definition – (sometimes initial capital letter) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism. The two examples of Fascism is Nazi Germany and Mussolini Italy.
Wikipedia bastardized the meaning by adding “far right” to the definition and then oddly have pictures of Hitler and Mussolini as examples. Neither the Nazis nor the Italian Fascists were right wing in any way. Both were collectivist/Socialist/authoritarian political movements. They were far from “right wing”.
Control the language, control the narrative.
