Quote of the Day: No. 79 The Evils of Bureacracy

Camille Paglia on the evil consequences of unconstrained bureaucracy:

A persistent characteristic of civilizations in decline throughout history has been their self-strangling by slow, swollen, and stupid bureaucracies. The current atrocity of crippling student debt in the US is a direct product of an unholy alliance between college administrations and federal bureaucrats — a scandal that ballooned over two decades with barely a word of protest from our putative academic leftists, lost in their post-structuralist fantasies. Political correctness was not created by administrators, but it is ever-expanding campus bureaucracies that have constructed and currently enforce the oppressively rule-ridden regime of college life. In the modern world, so wondrously but perilously interconnected, a principle of periodic reduction of bureaucracy should be built into every social organism. Freedom cannot survive otherwise.

Four Questions Google the Crooked Search Company Won't Answer

Google has declined to answer the following questions related to an internal debate among Google employees about suppressing The Daily Caller and Breitbart in the company’s search function.

From Google's failure to respond, the inference is clear, Google is not a neutral information source, it is a crooked search engine that seeks to manipulate public opinion.

Here are the questions Google has declined to answer:

1. Is Google aware of other instances in which employees advocated for suppressing The Daily Caller or Breitbart?

2. [Google engineer Scott] Byer wrote in his post: “Let’s make sure that we reverse things in four years.” He seems to indicate that Google employees should take actions to make sure Donald Trump doesn’t win re-election in 2020. Is that a use of official Google communications that the company approves of?

3. Have other Google VPs been part of internal conversations about potentially suppressing conservative media outlets, or just [engineering vice president David] Besbris?

4. Previous reporting by the Wall Street Journal demonstrated that Google employees brainstormed ways to manipulate search results in response to President Trump’s travel ban. Can Google guarantee that there won’t be a third example of Google employees seeking to manipulate search functions for anti-Trump purposes?

Bush Dead: The Evil Has Died

A bit of good news: George H.W. Bush is dead, finally. At least he’ll do no more harm. But the harm he did do was enough.

Like the Nazis his father did good business with, Bush wanted a New World Order – and spoke of it lovingly and often. And now it’s upon us, in no small measure because of his machinations and those of his frog-torturing, mass-murdering, war criminal son – who was elevated to the position from which he was able to commit mass murder solely on the juice provided by his connected father.

The entire Bush family is a crime syndicate that puts the Corleones to shame (with George W. Bush playing the role of Fredo).

Bush Sr. – who wasn’t in Dallas on November 22, 1963 and not a CIA officer at the time – was later proved to be both of those things. His leprous fingerprints are all over the termination of the last American president who wasn’t a wholly owned subsidiary of the military industrial complex.

Thereason May's Lousy, Stinking Brexit Swindle

THERESA MAY is ­banking on the BOBs – the people “bored of Brexit”, who are sick and tired of all the ­endless bickering and want Nanny May to “just get on with it.”

Even if “just getting on with it” means becoming a non- voting member of the EU?

Even if “just getting on with it” means our country — not invaded for 1,000 years — becomes a colony of Brussels?

No thanks, Nanny May!

It is not Brexit that the ­British people are bored with.

The British people are sick of being BULLIED.

Bullied by politicians like that eternal glumbucket Philip Hammond, a Chancellor of the Exchequer with the demeanour of a coffin chaser, who has never ever accepted the result of the largest poll in British history.

Bullied by Bank of England boss Mark Carney, who warns that daring No Deal will cause unemployment to soar, house prices to tumble and inflation to come over all giddy.

The EU will criminalize spoken opposition to European genocide by mass replacement immigration:

The EU is set to criminalize speech that criticizes migration. In a press conference, European Parliament Member, Marcel de Graaff, raised the alarm over an international conference in Marrakech, Morocco on Dec. 11 and 12 where the U.N. Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is to be signed:  “The criticism of migration will be a criminal offense...Media outlets that give room for criticism of migration,can be shut down. ... It will become impossible to criticize Ms. Merkel's 'Welcome Migrants Politics' without risk of being jailed for hate speech.” Source

While the US criminalizes the mention of Christ at Christmas:

To celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ, the Robious Middle School in Midlothian, Virginia, has banned any Christmas carols that mention the name of Jesus. School administrators reportedly explained they had made the decision to “avoid singing anything of a direct sacred nature” in order to be “more sensitive to the increasing diverse population at the school.” Source

Quote of the Day, No. 48

... those who existed during the distant time in which the fundamental epics of our culture emerged were much more concerned with the actions that dictated survival that with anything approximating what we now understand as objective truth. Before the dawn of the scientific world view, reality was construed differently.

Jordan B. Peterson: 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

As anyone who has ever read the great Greek, Roman, or Chinese philosophers knows, as anyone who is familiar with the great Christian theologians and philosophers of the Middle Ages will recognize, it is massively false to assert that objective truth was invented circa 1518 AD, or that reality was construed differently before then. This leads the critical reader to wonder who, or what, could possibly be the source for this astonishingly incorrect claim.

Why, it is Jordan Peterson himself. The endnote on the page literally cites one J.B. Peterson.

I outlined this in some detail in Peterson, J.B. (1999). Maps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief. Routledge, New York. 

This is a remarkable hall of mirrors that Peterson is building around himself. He goes the New Atheists one better. Whereas Richard Dawkins liked nothing better that to quote Daniel Dennett quoting Richard Dawkins, and to praise a Sam Harris book chock full of quotes from Richard Dawkins, Peterson simply cuts out the middle man and appeals directly to himself as the relevant authority on the nature of reality.

T.R. Beale, aka Vox Day: Jordanetics

Unraveling the riddle of Jordan B. Peterson

“Much of today's incivility and contempt for personal liberty has its roots on college campuses, and most of the uncivil and contemptuous are people with college backgrounds.” Walter E. Williams

Professor Jordan B. Peterson came to public attention as the result of the stand he took against bullying campus radicals, the Ontario Human Rights Commission and the Government of Canada, all apparently seeking to compel the use of specific terms with reference to transgender persons.

In this stand, Peterson achieved recognition as a staunch defender of the right of free speech and an able debater, who at his best, easily demolished opponents at the BBC, in the Canadian Senate, and on the university campus.

Yet Peterson is no hero to many who share his opposition to the radical left. Rather he has been decried by conservatives as a demagogue, a fraud, and even a madman.

Why the apparent contradictory response? The reason I believe, at least in part, is that Peterson is mentally unstable, specifically, the victim of bipolar disorder. This conclusion is consistent with Peterson's admitted use of anti-depressants. Moreover, although in his public appearances Peterson usually makes very good sense, during the presumed manic phase of manic-depressive illness, Peterson may make very little sense, or none at all. At such times his assertions become increasingly bizarre, and indeed fantastic, while in tone he becomes increasingly messianic, his voice rising at the end of each declamatory statement to something like a shriek.

But that may not be all one needs to know to understand the rise of Jordan Peterson to the status of Canada's first internationally signficant public intellectual since Marshall McLuhan. For example, in the following video Luke Rudkowski of "We Are Change" informs us that Peterson has closely associated with agents of the New World Order, which is to say the proponents of global governance, including the Trilateral Commission, and the United Nations:

Jordan Peterson: The Intellectual We Deserve

Jordan Peterson’s popularity is the sign of a deeply impoverished political and intellectual landscape…

by NATHAN J. ROBINSON

If you want to appear very profound and convince people to take you seriously, but have nothing of value to say, there is a tried and tested method. First, take some extremely obvious platitude or truism. Make sure it actually does contain some insight, though it can be rather vague. Something like “if you’re too conciliatory, you will sometimes get taken advantage of” or “many moral values are similar across human societies.” Then, try to restate your platitude using as many words as possible, as unintelligibly as possible, while never repeating yourself exactly. Use highly technical language drawn from many different academic disciplines, so that no one person will ever have adequate training to fully evaluate your work. Construct elaborate theories with many parts. Draw diagrams. Use italics liberally to indicate that you are using words in a highly specific and idiosyncratic sense. Never say anything too specific, and if you do, qualify it heavily so that you can always insist you meant the opposite. Then evangelize: speak as confidently as possible, as if you are sharing God’s own truth. Accept no criticisms: insist that any skeptic has either misinterpreted you or has actually already admitted that you are correct. Talk as much as possible and listen as little as possible. Follow these steps, and your success will be assured. (It does help if you are male and Caucasian.)

Jordan Peterson appears very profound and has convinced many people to take him seriously. Yet he has almost nothing of value to say. This should be obvious to anyone who has spent even a few moments critically examining his writings and speeches, which are comically befuddled, pompous, and ignorant. They are half nonsense, half banality. In a reasonable world, Peterson would be seen as the kind of tedious crackpot that one hopes not to get seated next to on a train.

Ambassador Craig Murray: Assange Never Met Manafort; the Guardian Is Publishing Blatant MI6 Lies

The right wing Ecuadorean government of President Moreno continues to churn out its production line of fake documents regarding Julian Assange, and channel them straight to MI6 mouthpiece Luke Harding of the Guardian.

 Amazingly, more Ecuadorean Government documents have just been discovered for the Guardian, this time spy agency reports detailing visits of Paul Manafort and unspecified “Russians” to the Embassy. By a wonderful coincidence of timing, this is the day after Mueller announced that Manafort’s plea deal was over.

The problem with this latest fabrication is that Moreno had already released the visitor logs to the Mueller inquiry. Neither Manafort nor these “Russians” are in the visitor logs.

This is impossible. The visitor logs were not kept by Wikileaks, but by the very strict Ecuadorean security. Nobody was ever admitted without being entered in the logs. The procedure was very thorough. To go in, you had to submit your passport (no other type of document was accepted). A copy of your passport was taken and the passport details entered into the log. Your passport, along with your mobile phone and any other electronic equipment, was retained until you left, along with your bag and coat. I feature in the logs every time I visited.

Nobody Left to Lie To: Christopher Hitchens on the Triangulation of William Jefferson Clinton

By Whom Will You be Ruled: God or the Tyranny of Tech?

Civilization in all its magnificent complexity requires collaboration not only among family, friends and neighbors, but among strangers. That is possible only with a civilized people, which is to say a people that adheres to a universal moral code.

That code, in basic form, is this:

The Universal Moral Code: 1. Don't lie 2. Don't steal 3. Don't shag your neighbor's wife 4. Don't kill people And, reinforcing the second and third commandments: 5. Don't even think about stealing your neighbor's ox or his ass or grabbing his wife's ass And, reinforcing those ideas: 6. Respect your parents (i.e., the conservatives who are the upholders of the moral tradition)  7. Honor the source of moral authority 8. Have no allegiance to any but the one true moral authority 9. Don't engage in idolatry, i.e., the worship of money, or celebrities, or any material thing including nature (Gaia) herself  10. Take one day each week to rest and to reflect on how well your conduct conforms to the code

The code of civilized people allows harmonious and productive collaboration among total strangers, people who may live far from one another, speak different languages and worship different gods.

 In addition to this code, the Christianized peoples of Europe — the people who created the greatest civilization the world has yet seen — added another rule, a rule that was never formulated as a rule but which was widely adopted by a process of emulation.

11. Be prepared to sacrifice your own interest for the good of others.

This last was the essential novelty that Christianity introduced into the relations among men, a rule exemplified by the master of it all, Jesus of Nazareth, who so the Church has always taught, "died for our sins." What that means, simply, is that Jesus underwent crucifixion as a necessary prelude to the miracle of resurrection, thereby showing sinful mankind that there really was a God in heaven into whose kingdom they might enter.

But today the Western nations have trashed Christ and thereby destroyed faith in the Christian moral code, including the notion of self-sacrifice for the good of the others. The media exist to lie as a means of plutocratic government control, not as a means to broadcast the truth. Words uttered in public, are seen by the elite as instruments to control the conduct of the proles, not as a means to communicate truth.

And indeed the views that deception is the primary use of language has now become almost universal. Mark Twain held that the essence of a joke is a lie badly told, a principle well exemplified by any episode of the Seinfeld sitcom. And the popularity of Seinfeld proves both how normal lying has become, and how little folks seem to care.

Theft may still, in principle, be deplored, yet there is a widespread belief that wealth is unfairly distributed and should be redistributed by the force of law, which is to say, a sort of collective theft justified on the basis of some political process.

As for adultery, its depiction is mainstream entertainment and hence a most powerful incitement to sexual covetousness.

As for coveting one's neighbor's ox or his ass, the average person may see as many as 5000 ads per day, a more potent stimulus to envy and unsatisfied material desire than seeing your neighbors ox over the fence.

Honor of parents is, of course, to be derided and indeed legally obstructed, since it results in adherence to out-dated, sexist, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, Islamophobic, you name it, deplorable ideas.

As for honoring God, forget it. The Christian God has been unmasked. He is that old, ignorant, vain, sadistic racist bastard, the Jewish god, Yahweh. No, the source of moral authority today is the academy. The professors of Women's studies, Gender studies, and of many other faculties beside, where upholders of the Christian tradition are as rare as the Great Auk. In today's Western university it is vastly more respectable to be an anti-white racist than an upholder of traditional Christian belief.

Hence my question. Which do you prefer: self control based on acceptance of Christian ideology, the traditional religion of the West; or external control, based on snitchery, brainwashing as education, and legally enforced political correctness? It is a choice between, on the one hand, self-control based in Christian faith, and, on the other hand, external control leading inevitably to a high-tech slave state, where freedom of thought must die and speech be controlled.

China, a great nation with a tradition of adherence to the words of the wise, and subservience to age and authority, has opted for a system of high-tech surveillance combined with reliance on millions of informers, a return to among the most horrendous features of Communist dictatorship. The West is clearly moving in the same direction: our emails are scanned for incriminating words and permanently recorded by intelligence agencies for later review, our conversations are overheard by Amazon's Alexa, or our Android cell phone, constantly urging us to initiate a conversation by saying "OK Google." Even lampposts in England now have ears, so morally degraded has become the home of Western freedom.

So will we abandon Western civilization, a civilization that it was the intention of Western globalists to spread throughout the world? Or will we succumb to a tech-based system of tyranny? In the Western World, the choice is still ours  to make, or so it would be if people understood there was a decision to make.

The Globalist Migration Plan That Justin Trudeau Supports

Once there are no borders there will be no countries, and once there are no countries there will be no nations — No England for the English, no France for the French, no Germany for the Germans, no Canada for the Canadians. At that point, the UN and other global agencies will take control and you will have to say good-bye to democratic, local self-government.

You want a border to keep out hoards of people of an alien race, religion and culture? Forget it. Everyone, however poor, however ignorant, however prejudiced, however diseased, however anti-Christian, however anti-white, however anti-democratic they may be will be entitled to squat in your public space and demand welfare at your expense.
