The War On Us

Whether you know it or not, you are at war. It’s not a shooting in the street war, at least not yet, but it is a war. Specifically, the people in charge have decided to wage war on segments of the American society. To paraphrase the late historian Christopher Lasch, the managerial elite has turned their back on average Americans and opted instead for a ruthlessly cosmopolitan view of life, one that values rootlessness, internationalism and transience. Increasingly, their ends are in direct conflict with liberal democracy.

Another way of looking at this is that the managerial elite has reached class consciousness in the Marxist sense. Who they are is defined by who they are not and who they are not is you. Their class interests may or may not overlap with the interests of society, but their identity, their sense of who they are as a class, only exists in opposition to the white middle class. That also puts them at odds with the institutions of liberal democracy. That’s the point of this article this article on the new Civil War.

Peter Leyden is a high end grifter who makes his money telling the managerial elite what they want to hear. He pitches himself as a technologist, despite having no math or science. He’s a blend of Alvin Toeffler and Tony Robbins. Ruy Teixeira is an old Progressive hand, who has spent his life pushing various political strategies to help the Democrat Party win elections, mostly by undermining the white middle class through open borders and multiculturalism. These are men who know the mind of the managerial class.

Most of the article is complete nonsense, especially the part about blue state energy versus red state energy. That’s almost as daffy as framing the Republicans as the party of the

Do you notice how the Left and Democrats refer to us in broad terms. They blame the NRA but rarely its members.

I think that they do this so that they can never be pinned down and accused of attacking an individual or group of individuals.

It could be because the know that we might fight back and fight back hard and they are afraid of confrontation because it might expose their deception and lies.

Maybe we need to start taking exception with the accusations and attacks because when they attack the NRA, they are really attacking its members.

We need to call them out.

Quotes from "The Russian Revolution" by Alan Moorehead 1958 "

… this was a predatory state which the Czar and a small group of noblemen and bureaucrats ruled for their own exclusive benefit...The ruling group owned all the wealth, enjoyed all the privileges and monopolized all the political power, and it did not intend to give up any of its prerogatives. It considered the peasants to be little better than animals..."

This is very similar to what's happening today.

The Progressive Politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, are on a conquest to form a one world, thanks to Soros and friends, and nothing is too sacred for them to destroy in order to achieve that.

That’s why the treasonists hate Trump so much, because he talks street, middle class, and the treasonists think they are elitists, that middle class is beneath them and how dare one be their leader, be President. No, what they prefer is a robot like an Al Gore or John Kerry who talks like an elitist, these a-holes who give air kisses at cocktail parties, who laugh through their nose and says all the proper pre-rehearsed BS “REPORTING FOR DUTY!” in which the treasonists immediately fall to their knees in worship.

I KNOW that’s what it is because I grew up in New city, the stinking rotten leftist sewer hole of the east coast and had to deal with these a-holes for years in various jobs, the sneers, the condescending tones, the delays in answering me because it has to go through their mind first if they are lowering themselves by speaking to me, that one of their leftist friends might see them “Oh my, YOU were talking to the plumber? How COULD you!” That’s all these punks in Washington, these leftist cliques who think they are elites and Trump comes along with hardcore straight talk “Oh my! Get him out of here! He is just like a mob boss!” to quote that effin d-bag Comey.

It’s been said that in war the first casualty is the truth. As Americans we have to accept the fact that our own government is at war with “We the People,” and has been for a long time.

What are We the People going to do about it?

In a highly regulated society, the ability to adroitly master the increasingly complicated processes that exist to support or enforce governing regulations generally proves more critical to personal success is such a highly regulated environment - more than simply being correct or right with regards to the stated governing principles of such a society.

It is why administrators in most organizations, be it governmental, law enforcement and business end up at the top and in charge.
