CONSERVATIVE GUTLESS WONDERS
When I see the images from Lafayette Square on Monday night (6/22) I keep wondering, where are the conservative leaders who have said so much and done so little to defend our history?
It was a multi-ethnic group of working class DC cops who stood guard protecting Andy Jackson’s statue, their facemasks flecked with the spittle from woke white women. Being taunted by woke white men with man buns. And getting called a traitor to their race.
What I want to see right now more than anything is elected officials and community leaders who are willing and ready to link arms with these cops and physically take part in cleaning up this mess and defying the mob.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE MADNESS ENDS?
When something cannot go on, it certainly will not go on. But what are the symptoms of what cannot go on and when?
There are two historic red lines and our revolution is getting close to both.
When Normal People Grow Weary
One is when “average” people, both white and nonwhite, who identify neither with Left nor Right, woke nor unwoke, become frightened or appalled by the violence and the anarchy—and thus finally move to dismantle the guillotine as the razor increasingly starts haircutting friends, idols, and compatriots.
Their verdict can be known either by demonstrating themselves, boycotting, voting, or massive civil disobedience. At some point, tonight’s looting rioting hero on on CNN, becomes tomorrow’s commonplace, unnoticed felon.
“LOGIC IS AN ENEMY AND TRUTH IS A MENACE”
Watching it today is a stark reminder that what we Americans are experiencing, the violence that is tormenting Democrat-run cities throughout America, is not particularly new. The totalitarian left has forever been trying to eliminate those of us who rage against the dying of the light.
Serling was beyond prescient when he wrote the screenplay for this episode. He was a true visionary. He somehow envisioned the future we now inhabit — an era in which those who "have a mind" are deemed obsolete.
NOT A BIT
HALF-FULL REPORT 06/19/20
Juneteenth, schmoonteenth. The only solace for a week as ghastly as this is comic relief.
Yet this was a week that grief for what has happened to America is washing over any hope for her. Take this heartbreaking story (6/14): Teen Who Makes Teddy Bears for Children of Fallen Police Officers Receives Death Threats for Her Kindness to Police.
This is but one example of so many overwhelming us now that makes it clear: November 3rd is no longer a choice between Republican and Democrat. It is a choice between Decency and Depravity, Freedom and Slavery, Civilization and Savagery. A future or no future at all.
As always, the HFR provides solutions to how achieve the formers and reject the latters.
AFRICAN SUNSET
This really isn’t photoshopped – it’s what a sunset actually looks like on the Luangwa River in Zambia. Best way to enjoy it is with a gin-and-tonic Sundowner with good friends on a dream Africa safari. Zambia is an undiscovered gem, the best safari country in all Africa right now.
Fabulous luxury lodges, iconic animals of Africa in amazing profusion, and much less expensive than the well-known safari regions elsewhere. I told you all about our Africa Dream Safari in January. It filled up fast – but then you know what happened to us and the whole world.
We’ve rescheduled it with new dates, August 1st to 11th. We can now take one, possibly two more couple(s) and maybe one single. Enjoy the description and all the cool photos below, and if you’re serious about joining us, email me at [email protected] for a special discount I may be able to offer you.
THE COMING URBAN EXODUS
[Note by JW: this article of Dan Henninger is politely implicit, which is here made helpfully explicit in bold. Enjoy]
Among the most durable of those institutions is what some call “the great American city.” America’s cities are indeed a wonder—built quickly from nearly nothing across a vast continent into a unique story of social and economic success.
We may now be on the cusp of a great reordering of the nation’s population as many people decide it is time to separate themselves and their families from the social, political and moral turbulence of this country’s large Democrat-controlled urban areas.
People with all sorts of political beliefs are going to get out because they are watching Democrat-controlled city after city reach a tipping point of social disorder and political disorganization.
In the past three months it has become clear that modern urban Democrat progressivism is politically incompetent and intellectually incoherent.
THE NEW BARBARIANS
Barbarism has a history as long as civilization. The Roman Empire in later years was sacked by various barbarian tribes. In the 13th century, the Mongol Horde destroyed civilizations along the Silk Road to the gates of Europe (Vienna) and much of China and Korea.
In recent times, the Nazi barbarians, Soviet Communist barbarians, Chinese Communist barbarians, and the Taliban barbarians of Afghanistan all undertook a reign of terror to consolidate power.
The New Barbarians of BLM, Antifa, and their supporters in academia, the media, and the Democrat Party are acting true to form.
DEMOCRATS RELEASE THE KRAKEN
Democrats subsidize Antifa Communists and BLM thugs and make excuses for their violence in the hopes the disorder they cause will hurt President Trump in November.
But the monsters they’ve let loose on society are more interested in tearing down the system than in perpetuating Democrat control of it.
In 1964, Lyndon Johnson won 61.9 percent of the popular vote. Four years later his vice president, Hubert Humphrey, got just 42.7 percent.
What happened in between were race riots, and “anti-war” riots and bombings instigated by Antifa’s Commie predecessors such as the Weathermen.
HEY, BLM! WHERE’S MY CHECK?
Marxists seek to destroy the history of the nations and peoples they hope to enslave, because if you don’t know where you came from, you don’t know who you are. And if you don’t know how things were back then, you don’t know how far we’ve come.
History doesn’t repeat itself. But people who are ignorant of history tend to make the same mistakes their ancestors did. The study of history, in context, is essential to progress.
After genocide, slavery has been mankind’s most egregious sin. And after prostitution, the most ubiquitous. Slavery has been practiced by every tribe on every continent since the beginning of time.
Marxists imply slavery was especially horrible in America, which is the opposite of the truth.
