WHY THE LEFT ALWAYS PROJECTS
The Left is addicted to projection—the psycho-political syndrome of attributing all of one’s own sins to one’s opponents.
The Woke apparently do this out of some Freudian effort to square the circle of their own guilt or sense of privilege, by fobbing off their own fearful realities onto others. It is the atheist version of confession or medieval penance.
Here we examine four examples, the Privileged condemning privilege; the Colluders investing collusion; Election Denialists becoming denialist; Racists being racist. How did they get this way?
THE TEN STAGES OF GENOCIDE – WHICH STAGE ARE WE AT NOW?
As we wait to see what our commie-fascist ruling class has planned for us next, this might be a good time to pull out Gregory H. Stanton's "Ten Stages of Genocide" as a helpful reminder for keeping track of how things are "progressing" (pun intended).
Stanton, an academic and the founder of Genocide Watch, organized a sobering list of red-flag actions undertaken by governments over the last century on their way to committing mass murder. See if any of them rings any bells with how supposedly "free" governments are behaving today.
Start counting…
THE ROCK PALACE OF YEMEN
Dar al-Hajar, the Rock Palace, was built by Yemen’s ruler, Imam Yahya Muhammad Hamiddin (1869-1948), atop a rock pinnacle as his summer residence. It lies in a valley about 10 miles outside Yemen’s capital of Sana’a. While an iconic example of Yemeni architecture, it’s impossible to visit now with civil war raging in the country. Someday we’ll be able to safely return to Yemen again. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #143 Photo ©Jack Wheeler)
HOLY TOLEDO!
Toledo, Spain. As you drive up the hill upon which this ancient city sits, at the city’s entrance you are greeted by this statue. It is of King Alfonso VI of León and Castile (1040-1109) holding his sword as the Christian cross symbolizing his liberating Toledo from Moslem rule.
The sword has been the symbol of Toledo for over two millennia. In 193 BC, Romans founded the city as Toletum, where their blacksmiths developed a process of making swords of layered steel with different carbon contents, known to history as “Toledo steel,” the finest in the world for millennia until the hi-tech methods of today.
With Fall of Rome, Christian Visigoths ruled Spain from their capital here at Toledo – known as “Holy Toledo,” the center of a flourishing Christian civilization for 300 years until it was overrun by Moslems spreading Islam from Africa in the early 700s.
It was Alfonso VI who liberated Toledo from the Moslems in 1085. It was his great-grandson, Alfonso VIII (1155-1214) who led 30,000 knights in a surprise attack on 200,000 Moslems at the Plains of Tolosa in 1212 to destroy Moslem rule in Spain.
Today, Toledo is a small town of some 50,000, charming, historic, and peaceful. It’s one of the special places we’ll visit exploring Holy Spain this coming March. Hope you’ll be with us. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #170 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
HALF-FULL REPORT 11/12/21
For the second time – the first was in HFR 08/28/20 – Kyle Rittenhouse is the HFR Hero of the Week.
First a quick summation. The first BLM rioter chased after Kyle yelling threats and was grabbing his rifle barrel (shown by the soot on his hand in the autopsy photos and verified by witness testimony) when Kyle shot him dead in the head. The second chased after Kyle, knocked him down with a skateboard and was grabbing his rifle when Kyle shot him dead in the chest. The third pulled a loaded pistol and was aiming it at Kyle when Kyle blew his gun arm half off.
Your first conclusion is these three in attacking a guy with an AR-15 are clear Darwin Awardees, doing humanity a favor by getting removed from the gene pool. Good job, Kyle.
There’s a lot in this HFR, which closes with a video and quotes from an extraordinary speech by America’s heroic president. Oh, and don’t miss the advice on how to rid your body of those ghastly vax spike proteins if you’ve been vaxxed.
FLASHBACK FRIDAY SMUGGLERS PARADISE
Khasab, Musendam, Enclave of Oman, October 2006. The sharp tip of Arabia, known as the Musandam Point, sticks into the Persian Gulf, separating it from the Indian Ocean. The Strait of Hormuz is only 30 miles wide from Musandam Point to the coast of Iran, and through it passes a substantial fraction of the world's crude oil.
I came here to see the Persian smugglers. Go down to the wharves in Khasab and you will see them piled high with waterproof-wrapped bales of clothes, cases of soft drinks and juice, cartons of children's toys and electronic goods, an entire shopping mall of stuff, all ready to be crammed and tied down into 20 ft. long open speedboats with powerful outboard motors capable of outrunning Iranian Navy patrols.
There are dozens, scores, of waiting speedboats. The run from Khasab harbor to coves on the Iranian coast or the Iranian island of Qeshm takes about three hours. An average night will see dozens of speedboats racing across the Strait of Hormuz smuggling goods into Iran. The smugglers couldn’t have been more friendly to me. They hate the mullahs and are proud they are helping poor people in Iran. I had a great time with them. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #169 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
LONG FART JOE!
New York Post, Sunday, Nov 7: Camilla Parker Bowles Can’t Stop Talking About Joe Biden’s ‘Long Fart’
During a conversation Biden was having with Prince Charles’ wife during a reception in Edinburgh, Scotland, the President let out a fart that was “so long and loud it was impossible to ignore.” British wags have now dubbed the US President “Long Fart Joe.”
THE REMOTEST CHURCH
Baihanluo Catholic Church is the remotest Christian Church on earth. The isolated village is in a roadless region high on a Himalayan mountain ridge deep in “The Great River Trenches of Asia” – one of our planet’s most dramatic geological features where four major rivers – the Irrawaddy, Salween, Mekong, and Yangtze all spill off the Tibetan Plateau coursing south in tight parallel for 100 miles.
In the late 1800’s, French Catholic missionaries made their way far, far up the Mekong from the French colony of Laos to befriend the Nu and Lisu tribespeople up here. They responded by building this beautiful wooden church that has been lovingly cared for by the local parishioners ever since.
I led an expedition traversing all three of the great trenches twenty years ago (2001). We were welcomed so warmly by the devout villagers. It’s hard to get more remote than this, yet they have retained their faith for at least four generations now. You can imagine how powerful and experience it was to be with them.

A COUNTRY TO BE PROUD OF
I took this picture last week. It is a painting made of azuelos (Portuguese glazed tiles) portraying Prince Henry the Navigator’s Conquest of Ceuta – the stronghold of Barbary Coast Moslem pirates – on August 21, 1415.
Ceuta was on the African side of the Straits of Gibraltar, from where the Moslem pirates incessantly raided the Portuguese coast depopulating entire villages, carting off men for labor slaves and women for sex slaves sold in the Arab slave markets across North Africa.
Prince Henry (1394-1460) is legendary in history for launching the entire Age of Discovery, when, starting with the Portuguese, Western explorers mapped the world. Yet it was at Ceuta at age 21, that he first performed an act of heroism still celebrated by the Portuguese people today.
The azuelos painting is proudly displayed on the foyer wall of the main train station of Porto, where Prince Henry was born. I invite you take a close look at it, as I did to my TTPer travelers who were with me here last week.
I asked them to look at the fire in Henry’s unyielding eyes, the terrified Moslems on their knees surrendering their swords and bowing to him in submission. Then I asked, “Can you imagine something like this being publicly displayed in America today, as a source of pride for all Americans to feel in their country’s history?”
SKYE’S LINKS 11/11/21
The 'Crats will learn nothing from the latest election. They will triple down on their bad ideas. Tighten the strap on your crash helmet; 2022 will be a challenging and hard year for us, but is likely to be catastrophic for them:
Luongo: Expect Democrats To Not Learn The Real Lessons From Virginia's Elections
The supply chain wreck is going to get a lot worse. My advice? If you don't already have a few months’ supply of your everyday canned and dried foods, get it while you can. Pet food, too. Don't buy survival foods; you don't need expensive ultra light weight portability. Buy what you eat regularly, and rotate your stock. Don't forget detergent and toilet paper - and fuel. Whatever the government does to "fix" the problem will certainly make a bad situation even worse
