Budget Slashes and the Dems

Being fiscally responsible, the congressional Democrats have cut funding for internal ethics probes. Now Obama cuts funding for the Department of Labor's union anti-corruption investigators.

That makes perfect sense under an atmosphere of relative ethics, which is in effect no ethics whatsoever.

Homosexuality as Political Leverage

There is a book out called “Culture Drift”. The subject is of immense interest to me (I even have a blog category by that name). But I have come to understand that the cultural changes that have occurred in the past half century were not a random drift toward paganism or the secular Left. The changes were consciously driven, in the Hegelian fashion of thesis-antithesis-synthesis.

While I first considered this to be a conspiracy theory and approached it with considerable caution, there is enough information available now to be comfortable with the assessment of a culture driven, not adrift.

An example of consciously driven cultural change is the homosexual war on society. Prior to the 1960’s, homosexuality was considered deviant behavior that could be successfully treated. What happened to change that?

In 1948, Alfred Kinsey published his studies of male sexuality, which in effect legitimized all types of sexual adventurism, including pedophilia. These studies were actually fraudulent science, as has been abundantly documented by Reismann, West, Sears and Osten. But Kinsey’s fraudulent data was seized upon by social activists, and the falseness was perpetuated. As David Kupelian has documented, Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen documented in their book, “After The Ball: How America Will Conquer its Fear And Hatred Of Gays In the 90’s, a programmed attack on the cultural view of homosexuality. While you probably haven’t heard of Kirk or Madsen, you will be familiar with their program, below.

The Kirk / Hunter homosexual attack formed around three programs: Desensitization, Jamming, and Conversion.

Desensitization consisted of a constant barrage of pro-homosexual media blitzing, hoping to wear down the populace with the constant presence of homosexuality and ultimately turning familiarity into acceptance.

Jamming, on the other hand, is a form of “psychological terrorism meant to silence expression of or even support for dissenting opinion”. Hence the term, “homophobe”, and the equating of homophobia to fascism, racism, classism and moral depravity. Ultimately “homophobia” is being codified into Hate (thought) Crime Federal Legislation. Jamming has been astoundingly successful at silencing dissent.

Conversion is described by Kirk and Madsen:

“We mean conversion of the average American’s emotions, mind, and will, through a planned psychological attack, in the form of propaganda fed to the nation via the media. We mean ‘subverting’ the mechanism of prejudice to our own ends- using the very processes that made America hate us to turn their hatred into warm regard - whether they like it or not”.

The use of the media is documented by Kupelian, and is too extensive to repeat here. Kirk and Madsen continue,

”In Conversion, we mimic the natural process of stereotype learning, with the following effect: we take the bigot’s good feelings about all-right guys, and attach them to the label “gay” (a new label created for the attack), either weakening or, eventually, replacing his bad feelings toward the label and the prior stereotype [classic brainwashing, ed.].

“Whereas in Jamming, the target is shown to be a bigot being rejected by his own crowd for his prejudice against gays, in Conversion the target is shown his crowd actually associating with gays in good fellowship.”

And,

”It makes no difference to us that the ads are lies, not to us, because we are using them to ethically good effect, to counter negative stereotypes that are every bit as much lies, and far more wicked ones.”

In 1990, the National Gay and Lesbian Journalists Association was founded.

Some of the lies that the homosexuals fronted to the public are as follows:

First, that there are 10% of the population that are homosexual (Kinsey). Actual numbers are closer to 0.5% to possibly 1.3%, depending on the study; Kinsey himself lowered the number to 1.3%, but that was ignored by the homosexual activists who devoted themselves to his original 10%.

Second, that homosexuality is genetic and irreversible. This is essential to the idea that homosexuality is what that person is - homosexuality defines the person; therefore it is not FAIR to consider them deviants. This is refuted by identical twin studies, which show that when one twin is homosexual, only 38% of the identical sibling twin is homosexual, even though sharing identical DNA. Although epi-genetic gene switching might occur differently for the twins, there is no reason to believe that is deterministic (inevitable). If unequal gene switching were responsible for the unequal occurrence of homosexual identical twins, then such percentages should also occur in regular populations; but they do not by a full order of magnitude[1].

Homosexuality is far more likely to be influenced by unequal emotional responses to environmental socializing pressures that are unequally applied in the environment.

Third was that AIDs showed conclusively that homosexuals were victims. In a culture of cherished victimhood, this was expected to resonate.

Fourth was the use of homosexual celebrities to gain a favorable image and the media along with Hollywood to persistently portray homosexuals as normal.

Fifth was the accusation that heroic historical figures were homosexual.

Sixth was attempting to link anti-homosexuality with NAZI fascism, despite the historical facts (William Shirer, “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”) that many of the early NAZIs were in fact homosexuals. This is still a common epithet used by ever-angry Gays.

Seventh was the frontal attack on the American Psychological Association, forcing it to change its viewpoint of homosexuality. According to Jack Cashill,

"...Gay insurgents had stormed the citadel of the American Psychological Association (APA) to advance their cause. They had picked an easy target. Embarrassed to find themselves on the unfashionable side of the cultural barricades, the APA worthies were prepared to surrender without a fight".

At a 1971 APA meeting, a homosexual activist charged,

"Psychiatry is the enemy incarnate. Psychiatry has waged a relentless war of extermination against us. You may take this as a declaration of war against you."

According to one psychologist, one moment homosexuality was a treatable psychological deviation, the next, it was normal and not treatable.

The programs instituted in schools to promote full acceptance of homosexuality are fully documented. ACLU lawsuits threaten to destroy anyone who dissents, at least publicly, to the inevitability of homosexuality as genetically determined. And homosexuals post enemies lists on the internet including names and addresses of those who vote against the homosexuals agendas - clearly a terrorist activity, yet done with impunity.

And now, of course, there will be thought crime laws that fully discriminate against any dissent with felony charges.

A Culture adrift? Or a culture driven?



[1] The value of 38% is significant because it is low enough to eliminate the inevitability of DNA determinism; and it is high enough to preclude random epigenetic switching failures (mutations). If the epigenetics functioned randomly in identical twinning, then the rate should be similar to that in single embryo individuals.

Brave New Speech

Alternate definition of "Diversity Committee", a la FCC:

Diversity Committee: a multicolored group of people who all hold the identical ideology: Far, far, far Left.

Hate Crimes Legislation and Pedophilia Protection

According to columnist Janet Porter, the Hate Crimes Bill (H.R. 1913) is now in the U.S.Senate, and has opened it up to the protection of pedophilia by rejecting the following amendment proposed by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa:

The term sexual orientation as used in this act or any amendments to this act does not include pedophilia.

According to Porter, "But majority Democrats refused to accept it".

It should come as no surprise that a party that condones partial birth abortion would also condone pedophilia.

As Porter remarks, it would now be a hate crime to berate or slap a pedophile that attacks your child. Or even to make the pedophile emotionally uncomfortable. In fact, writing an article that is against pedophilia would also be a hate crime.

The Congressional statists are shameless and without redeeming qualities. Their New World, New Morality, Utopia is beyond disgusting.

The American Yugo?

Now that the U.S. auto industry is being given over to union / government ownership, it brings back images of the Yugo. Yugos were based on Fiat designs, but the manufacturing under the communists couldn’t make it up to Fiat’s marginal quality. Yugo was declared the worst car of the millennium by Car Talk, and Yugo jokes abounded.

When the Berlin wall came down one of the things I remember is the Yugos that were lifted up by hand and placed in dumpsters in the old East Germany. Others were ceremonially torched or bludgeoned to scraps. Yugos, if they worked at all, didn’t work for long. They were junk, and as soon as they could, their owners junked them. (How do you make a Yugo go? Get a tow truck. How do make it go 60 mph? Push it off a cliff.).

I can’t help but wonder about the ability of the new G.M. to exceed Yugo quality. The motivation of both the union and the government is overwhelmingly toward rewarding the unions with taxpayer money. Will there be an incentive to produce an automobile that the public will value? Or will there be some sort of constraint placed on buying non-U.S. autos? The stated government objective of forcing a green-mobile on the masses is the mandated direction for the auto manufacturers. This suggests that what the public wants is not a factor in any marketing plans.

In fact, with the virtual inevitability of raging inflation just around the bend, I think it is more likely that auto buyers will favor the Asian autos when it comes time to buy. These are at least a known quantity, where the U.S. manufacturers are not just shaky, they are crumbling.

Obama depends on the stupidity of his minions. This has worked extremely well for him, as his cadres have not questioned any of his personal history or motivations or veracity, but only revere his skin tone and the promise of a check in the mail. But buying an auto is different from voting for a guy because he is black. It actually costs you something up front. If it is junk that you buy, then your cash is kaput, unless you can find a greater fool than yourself to sell your junk to. I think folks in the market for an auto might continue to abandon any sentiment of “Buy American” in order to preserve their cash.

And what about this inflation? With the next huge bailout now in the crosshairs – bailing out the FDIC – and China buying gold instead of throwing more money at our increasingly corrupt and spendthrift government, it appears that inflation will be virtually required, at least after the “wealthy” have been bled dry or run out of the country. How many trillions of tax dollars would the wealthy be able to cough up anyway? And how long will they sit still and take it?

So with inflation coming on and the auto industry final collapse seeming imminent, why would sensible folk not pucker up and prepare for the storm?

I know I am.
