Know Your Enemy

Posted by M. C. on March 18, 2024

– how we win

She tells us that even as they are about to graduate from teacher training programs in our Universities and soon after they are fully trained teachers, several of these newly minted teachers have told her how committed and determined and dedicated they are to bring such things as critical race theory, transgender ideology and elementary school transgender education, to even the most remote schools in rural Canada

Francis Christian

This is the final part of my 3-part essay on “Know Your Enemy.” In this essay, I describe how we win.

In part 1, I described how the murderous, bloody Bolshevik revolution of 1917 in Russia brought into power the same kind of people who rule over us today. And in part 2, I gave you, my readers, a step by step account of how we got here, to the sorry state of the modern West, about how the Frankfurt School and its followers and disciples brought about disintegration, decay, disruption and degeneration from within, of the Christian Civilization the West had inherited over many centuries and a millennium.

The Bolsheviks (i.e. those following the the Russian brand of Communism) have always tried to infiltrate, influence and convert Americans to the Bolshevik and Communist cause. The evangelist Billy Graham once read to his audience a letter that had been handed over to him, written by a young American man who had been engaged to be married.

In the letter, the new, young convert to the Bolshevik communist cause explains why he feels compelled to break off his engagement with the girl he had promised to marry.

In the context of our present world and the Neo-Marxists who now run our Governments, our bureaucracies, our schools and Universities, please remember that the same Bolsheviks who converted this young American recruit to their cause in 1957, are now just as determined, just as fanatically committed to their cause as they were several decades ago. I reproduce this young communist convert’s letter:

We Communists don’t have the time or the money for many movies, or concerts, or T-bone steaks, or decent homes and new cars. We’ve been described as fanatics.

We are fanatics. Our lives are dominated by one great overshadowing factor, THE STRUGGLE FOR WORLD COMMUNISM.

We Communists have a philosophy of life which no amount of money could buy. We have a cause to fight for, a definite purpose in life. We subordinate our petty personal selves into a great movement of humanity, and if our personal lives seem hard, or our egos appear to suffer through subordination to the party, then we are adequately compensated by the thought that each of us in his small way is contributing to something new and true and better for mankind. 

There is one thing in which I am dead earnest and that is the Communist cause. It is my life, my business, my religion, my hobby, my sweetheart, my wife and mistress, my bread and meat. I work at it in the daytime and dream of it at night. Its hold on me grows, not lessens as time goes on.

Therefore I cannot carry on a friend-ship, a love affair, or even a conversation without relating to this force which both drives and guides my life.  I evaluate people, books, ideas and actions according to how they effect the Communist cause and by their attitude toward it.  I’ve already been in jail because of my ideas and if necessary, I’m ready to go before a firing squad.”

The Apparatus and Human Values

Posted by M. C. on March 18, 2024

“Whether the mask is labeled fascism, democracy, or dictatorship of the proletariat, our great adversary remains the apparatus—the bureaucracy, the police, the military. Not the one facing us across the frontier of the battle lines, which is not so much our enemy as our brothers’ enemy, but the one that calls itself our protector and makes us its slaves. No matter what the circumstances, the worst betrayal will always be to subordinate ourselves to this apparatus and to trample underfoot, in its service, all human values in ourselves and in others.”

Simone Weil

Campus Incitement

Posted by M. C. on March 15, 2024

Walter Block

We do not oppose the free speech rights of such haters, but Ivy League schools are supposed to be the elite learning sites. What does it say of such highly respected places that some of their carefully selected students are bigots who want to replicate the “final solution” of Nazi Germany? This is total, complete, moral bankruptcy.

Rally for Palestine in Cambridge, Massachusetts earlier this month.

Use the wrong pronouns? You will be forthwith kicked out of school. Say “Eskimo” instead of “Inuit”? Woe betide you. Claim there are only two genders? The dean will have very harsh words for you. Oppose Diversity, Equity and Inclusion? You’ve had it. Disapprove of queer studies? You’re a homophobe. Complain about feminist studies? You’re a sexist. Criticize African-American studies departments? You’re a white supremacist.

Advocate “Palestine from the river to the sea,” that is, the end of Israel? Well, that is a highly complicated issue and we at college must be open to all shades of opinion on complex issues. Call for the death of Jews, all Jews, everywhere, not just in Israel? Hey, that’s just free speech! It is all a matter of “context.” We at university stand for the articulation of all shades of opinion (unless of course they are conservative or libertarian).

What is going on here? What is going on here is that the inmates have taken over the asylum. The leaders of major universities such as Harvard, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania are clearly biased. Their only standard is a double standard.

What, then, is a more rational analysis of this situation? We start off with the highly debatable point that incitement, paradoxically and surprisingly, should not be prohibited by law according to some commentators.

For instance, states Murray Rothbard:

Should it be illegal …. to ‘incite to riot’? Suppose that Green exhorts a crowd: ‘Go! Burn! Loot! Kill!’ and the mob proceeds to do just that, with Green having nothing further to do with these criminal activities. Since every man is free to adopt or not adopt any course of action he wishes, we cannot say that in some way Green determined the members of the mob to their criminal activities; we cannot make him, because of his exhortation, at all responsible for their crimes. ‘Inciting to riot,’ therefore, is a pure exercise of a man’s right to speak without being thereby implicated in crime. On the other hand, it is obvious that if Green happened to be involved in a plan or conspiracy with others to commit various crimes, and that then Green told them to proceed, he would then be just as implicated in the crimes as are the others — more so, if he were the mastermind who headed the criminal gang. This is a seemingly subtle distinction which in practice is clearcut — there is a world of difference between the head of a criminal gang and a soap-box orator during a riot; the former is not, properly to be charged simply with ‘incitement.’

Those students at our elite universities who are chanting “From the river to the sea…”, (that is, “Death to the Jews”) theme and variation, should not be imprisoned. They have not committed any crime.

It is one thing, however, to extol freedom of speech, and an entirely different claim that anyone may say whatever he wants anywhere. The former is correct, the latter not at all. If someone is on somebody else’s private property, the owner has the right to decide what can and cannot be “expressed” on its premises.

Thus, a university may certainly and properly announce and implement a code of conduct and ethics regarding acceptable speech. If students don’t like it, they can enroll elsewhere. In this case, Ivy League schools certainly have these codes of conduct. But they do not enforce them when Jews are being called to be killed. This decision of theirs is despicable. These administrators are hypocrites.

Alert: What does the presence of the National Guard around the country signal?

Posted by M. C. on March 14, 2024

JON RAPPOPORT

Right now, in America, there are efforts underway to recruit illegal aliens into the Army, as a legal pathway to citizenship.

So one day, the normal soldiers you see will include those aliens—never brought up as children with any notion of inalienable rights—never loyal to the United States. Simply trained to do their jobs.

And what is their job?

You.

https://jonrappoport.substack.com/p/presence-of-national-guard-around-the-country

The Governor of New York has sent armed troops into the subways of New York City, to keep them safe.

Governor Newsom of California (never to be trusted) says he’s deploying troops along the Cali-Mex border to stop the smuggling of fentanyl into the country.

Governor DeSantis has sent troops to maintain order in Miami during spring break.

All of this—to solve problems that should have been solved long ago:

Breakaway crime and illegal immigration.

Before they got out of hand.

On a deeper level, what this new military trend signals is: Create chaos and then solve it by bringing order.

Order might look good, it might feel right, but it isn’t. Because it means these troops will also be used against legitimate people and causes and protests and FREEDOM.

This is a very old pattern.

Again, create chaos (crime, illegal immigrant flood), then come in behind that and solve it; bring order.

Example: In 1978-9, a popular uprising against the Shah of Iran was turned into a massive series of riots; and the rioters were then tuned up and turned toward an ultimate solution: bring in a great solver, a bringer of order, the Ayatollah.

He was much more brutal than the Shah.

In that case, I had it from two independent sources that the underlying reason for the revolution was: the Shah was planning to use oil to build the biggest plastics manufacturing plants in the world. In the process, he would modernize the country. This sudden development was not on elite planners’ planetary chessboard.

With the help of the US Pentagon, and possibly the American intelligence establishment, an operation was mounted to reverse Iran to a more primitive condition—and the Ayatollah was the man to make that happen.

Back to today and here in the US: An expanding military presence on home soil would be directed, step by step, toward eliminating what remains of a Constitutional government.

The elimination would be seen as necessary, in light of out of control crime. Crime made possible by treasonous elements of the present government, operating under orders from Globalist elites bent on leveling America, cutting away all traces of Nationalism and subsuming the country under planet-wide governance: the long-term goal.

“We had to do it, to keep you safe.”
