Snowflakes Cannot Tolerate Crowded Subways

This is an apparent snowflake who is unable to wait two minutes for the next train or to move to another car which is not so crowded. He is probably unable to function in New York City or Tokyo, where the trains are really crowded. 

[From article]
Buses and subway cars are often over-crowded to a degree that would be considered inhumane.
[. . .]
The current state of service is no way to treat the good citizens of the commonwealth—it is patently disrespectful and lacking in the moral decency that is integral to the American ideal.

Spineless Politicians Hate Trump Because He Defeats Mean-Spirited Journalists

[From article]
In our epic war of Right vs. Wrong, Trump defeats the media cartel, day after day. Nobody has done that since Reagan. Ted Cruz is an excellent candidate, but Trump has already accomplished the impossible -- and he doesn’t get any credit for it from conservatives. In fact, our elites keep missing the significance of Trump’s constant suckering of the media.
[. . .]
We can never forget that U.S. ‘liberals” of this generation are not liberals at all; they have fallen back into ruthless Leftism, just like the old days of Joe Stalin. This is the Left that threw Lawrence Summers out as president of Harvard for wondering out loud whether some boys are just better in math than girls. This is the Left that keeps imposing ever-harsher speech and behavior codes on college students, with white guys as the official scapegoats.
[. . .]
This is a culture war, but with every terrorist attack you can bet that the Left is in collusion, one way or another. Obama refuses to label Jihad as War against us, and he has imposed crippling limitations on the FBI, DOJ, CIA, DHS, the Pentagon, and your local cops.
[. . .]



Wars are won by superior strategy, supported by excellent tactics, but not the other way around. You can have the best soldiers in the world but you also need great strategy, and the leaders to plan and execute it.
The media are our strategic enemy.
This cannot be said often enough.
If Obama and Hillary disappeared tomorrow, the Party Media would just find another brain-locked ideologue to take their place. Obama is replaceable, but the media are forever.
Or at least they think so.
[. . .]
But this is war, and war is not nice. The only thing worse than war is defeat.
If you can’t tolerate the only way any Republican has found to beat the Party Line, just consider the alternative. Trump has executed the only winning media strategy since the Boomer Left stole our culture.
The bottom line is whether you want the country to win or lose. Period.
This is going to be a watershed election, whether you and I like it or not. Our future is at stake.
Sometimes, extreme maladies call for extreme cures.
Bad language is not the worst thing, considering the alternative.

Trump and the Culture War
By James Lewis

Republicans Need To Grow A Spine

[From article]
Social democracy seems to be crumbling in slow motion.
Need we mention Flint, Michigan or Baltimore, Maryland as exemplars? Baltimore merely sets itself afire; Flint literally poisons constituents. First, the city goes broke and then the same dingbats who rode profligacy to ground now maim their citizens with lead laden water in the name of economy. Flint, like most urban centers in America, is a broken liberal monopoly, a polity that will shop until it literally drops – or squanders taxes until you drop. A dependent activist majority on the left now defines the agenda for an ever shrinking passive, yet barely productive, minority. Democracy, as a virtue, may be reaching its sell-by date.
Not that performance is any better inside the Beltway. Washington has invested in wasteful serial wars abroad that no one at DOD or the US State Department has any intention of winning. Here; debt, deficit, and the dead don’t matter.
[. . .]
Indeed, if you included foreigners in the body count, poor policy choices have killed more folks in the past decade than all Islamic terror groups combined. That’s a number that you will never see above the fold.
Dying for democracy or freedom is one thing. Dying for elected incompetence, or political cowards and their ephemeral legacies, is something else. The dark side of democracy is the inclination to vote for the worst among us. The most offensive part of the wasted treasure and lives, abroad especially, is the companion banality. To wit: the enemy is not named, war is not declared, Islam is appeased, and those serial failures in the Ummah have no names or expiration dates.
The horns of modern conflict dilemma are two; no foreseeable end to small wars and no humane solution to the predictable refugee problem – no solutions short of open borders and cultural fratricide. After a decade of dithering, the great national security questions are now “when” not what or if.



Indeed, it’s a toss-up for which comes first, fiscal collapse or unilateral cultural surrender?
Now comes another American presidential election in 2016, dominated again, for the most part, by politically correct conventional wisdom on both sides of the aisle. Donald Trump is now a no man’s land of candor between two pandering major American political factions.
[. . .]
If we are to take down all the monuments to all heroes who have fallen out of favor with millennials, then we might clear the public squares across America, starting with the capital. Indeed, Marion Barry could replace Thomas Jefferson at the Tidal Basin. Jefferson’s soaring rhetoric could be replaced with rap, rant, or doggerel such as: “The bitch set me up.”
Withal, veiled history is still history. The past cannot be altered by fiat, felled statues -- or flags.
[. . .]
Nomenklatura of both parties are conspiring to veto the people’s choice, a foolish gambit especially for the righteous Right. Blue collar, evangelical, and conservative stay-at-home votes made Mitt Romney a footnote in the last election.
If Trump picks up his marbles and goes back to making money in 2016, he will take a legion of unhappy voters with him -- and Clinton III becomes a sure thing.
[. . .]



Playing the race and vagina cards in the primaries is usually a tactic of the left. Republican elites, by moving left too, are perilously close to alienating the angry, ethical, God fearing, hardworking, productive, and taxpaying demographics. Political apathy, like civic enthusiasm, is a created culture.
If conservative thinkers worthy of the name had any good instincts, they would allow the primaries to play out, winner take all. Let democracy work the way it is supposed to. Trust the wisdom of crowds. Who needs another anointed, politically correct shape shifter?
At the moment, unfortunately, the usual media pundits and the RNC have taken their eyes off the ball. Instead of illuminating Clinton sleaze, Republicans are directing most brickbats at their own front runner.
[. . .]
If Trump gets the Republican nod, consider all the talent he has to choose from for vice president, cabinet posts, and department heads. The Republican bench is deep:
[. . .]
Donald Trump, warts and all, makes a better candidate than he does a defector. Republicans need to recalibrate their gun sights on the Obama/Clinton camps.

The Pits of Republican Politics

Spineless Dumbed Down Congressmen Gave Away Their Power. Can Ryan Get It Back?

[From article]
The Affordable Care Act, for example, isn’t so much a piece of legislation as a letter of marque for the Health and Human Services.
[. . .]
This is just one example of how Congress routinely vests legislative power in the executive branch.
[. . .]
The Constitution says only Congress can levy taxes. The founders had this crazy idea called “no taxation without representation.” And yet, numerous agencies are self-funding, raising money without having to worry about Congress’ power of the purse.
[. . .]
These agencies are, furthermore, often unaccountable to the judicial branch. Bureaucrats have their own administrative courts, which routinely deny traditional due process to plaintiffs.
The executive branch was never supposed to be this powerful. Richard Neustadt famously wrote in “Presidential Power” that the presidency is an inherently weak office and therefore the president’s chief power is “persuasion.”
[. . .]
President Obama has certainly tried to do that. But it’s turned out that his powers of persuasion have been greatly exaggerated, particularly in this age of polarization.
Unable to coax the country in his direction, Obama has relied on his beloved “pen and phone” strategy — that is, signing executive orders — often to the cheers of congressional Democrats apparently eager to celebrate their institutional gelding.
[. . .]
Clawing back the legislative function can’t be done overnight and requires a cultural transformation of Congress itself.

Cambridge, MA Librarian Laments Excessive Testing of Third Graders

Local school officials suffer from two debilitating syndromes. One is the love of taxpayer funds. The other is obedience to authority and conformism. Only way to curb the education policies which continue to dumb down public school students is to eliminate the US Department of Education. An alternative is to elect and hire officials with spines, which is more difficult than the first solution. Do teacher unions play any role in these abuses?

Philadelphia, PA High School Student Threatened By Others For Protected Speech About Race. School Officials Indicate Spinelessness, Relaxed Rectitude

Michael Moroz, Philadelphia High School Student

Welcome to the world of exercising constitutionally protected rights. Thugs and liberals (do I repeat myself?) do not extend those rights to people who disagree with their propaganda. In Cambridge, MA black city police, and Harvard University campus police have harassed me for more than 20 years for similar expression. No tolerance in the halls of elite universities either. You have to fight for your rights. There are many public officials who lack spines and will not stand up for their oaths of office to defend the Constitution.

[From article]
Philadelphia high school senior Michael Moroz knew he was courting controversy when he wrote about race in the school newspaper, but he never expected death threats from classmates and strangers.
Just before Christmas break, the 17-year-old wrote an opinion piece for the Central High school paper, the Centralizer. In it, he criticized the racially charged University of Missouri protests and opined that Michael Brown, the black teenager killed in 2014 by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., was "a delinquent" who was "at worst, justifiably killed, and at best, [was] a thug."
The story hit the paper’s Facebook page while school was out, and that’s when the threats poured in. Moroz is now afraid to return to school and worried he could lose his place next fall at an Ivy League university.
[. . .]
Soon after Moroz's writing appeared online, Internet trolls took to social media, urging "someone" to “deal with” and even “shoot” him. Dozens of other posts labeled him a racist and urged University of Pennsylvania to rescind the acceptance it recently offered Moroz.
When classes resumed this week, a shaken Moroz stayed home.
He claims at least five fellow students at Central threatened his life, and his family has hired an attorney and filed a complaint with the Philadelphia Police Department.
[. . .]
“They are saying that what Michael wrote is something they don’t agree with and that it justifies their actions. This is something that is becoming more common in America, and that is frightening.”
The opinion piece was pulled from the Facebook page by student editors once the backlash began, but the counterpoint article supporting the movement was left alone.
[. . .]
Central Principal Timothy McKenna defended the decision to take down the article by saying no printed copies were collected or destroyed.
[. . .]
“It certainly doesn’t feel like the administration is supporting me,” Moroz said. “They took the onus from themselves and put it on me, saying that it was a police matter and that I had to call and inform them.

Homeland Security Secretary Prioritizes Fear Of CAIR Over Safety Of Americans

[From article]
Fearing a civil liberties backlash and "bad public relations" for the Obama administration, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson refused in early 2014 to end the secret U.S. policy that prohibited immigration officials from reviewing the social media messages of all foreign citizens applying for U.S. visas, according to a former senior department official.
"During that time period immigration officials were not allowed to use or review social media as part of the screening process," John Cohen, a former acting under-secretary at DHS for intelligence and analysis. Cohen is now a national security consultant for ABC News.
[. . .]
Jeh Johnson, in other words, put the safety of Americans below fear of criticism from CAIR and the ACLU. As a result, a slaughter in San Bernardino took place at the hands of a jihadi bride let into the country thanks to Jeh Johnson.
And by the way, what is it about Johnson’s career as a lawyer (first black partner at white-shoe NY law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, where he handled large commercial litigation) that qualified him as protector of our national security?

New York City Mayor DeBlasio Is Not In Same League With John Lindsay

Photos by Harry Benson, Getty Images(L)
Andrew Burton, Getty Images(R)

John "I am the Mayor" Lindsay was an inspiring leader. He warned the power brokers he was coming for them. When asked by a reporter who the power brokers were, Lindsay replied, "They know who they are." He stood up to the TWU and the sanitation union, which went on strike. Lindsay was so successful standing up to them Rockefeller had to bring in the National Guard to collect the mountains of trash. Michael Quill had a heart attack and died in jail. Lindsay won that one. DeBlasio lacks the spine of Lindsay and would never stand up to unions. 

[From article]
The Yale-educated Lindsay—who, as a congressman from the Upper East Side, was one of the chief architects of the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act—promised to bring the glories of Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society to the Big Apple. Similarly, the Columbia-educated de Blasio successfully won the mayoralty as a five-borough version of Barack Obama’s Chicago Way of politics. Both men rose by promising to resolve the irresolvable issue of race.
[. . .]
Liberal politicians like Lindsay believed, like the architects of Johnson’s Great Society, that the knowledge to solve social problems was at hand, and so they judged the situation not by comparison with earlier times—which would have shown them that things were actually quite good—but by the standard of what could be, if only men of vision had the money and power to remake the world.
[. . .]
third-party candidate William F. Buckley, who ran on the newly formed Conservative Party line. The silver-tongued Buckley, who called for the legalization of drugs and gambling, aroused enormous anger on the left by backing the city’s cops against accusations of racist policing and by proposing that welfare recipients work for their benefits. In his campaign—and in his subsequent memoir, The Unmaking of a Mayor—Buckley rejected the proposition that men and women had suddenly become far wiser than their predecessors
[. . .]
De Blasio narrowly won election in a three-way primary, barely achieving the 40 percent of the vote needed to avoid a runoff. He won a huge majority in the general election—a formality in an overwhelmingly Democratic city—despite a record-low 22 percent voter turnout.
[. . .]
The underlying problem with both mayors is that they proposed, as Buckley warned, to do the impossible when they promised to straighten the “crooked timber of humanity.” But government, let alone local government, can do no such thing. As New Yorkers who are angered by de Blasio’s ideological tours in Iowa understand, mayors must stick to the prosaic problems—union contracts, road repairs, and taxation. When a mayor neglects these responsibilities, he ends up as Lindsay did— an exile in his own city.

Like John Lindsay, Bill de Blasio conjured up crises to win the mayor’s office—and, like Lindsay, he may soon face the real thing.

Upper Class Black Privileged Students Play Race Card Over and Over Again and Again

White girls only at a party at Yale brought national outrage, shrieking and profanity from privileged black Jerelyn Luther, Yale senior from Fairfield, CT. Answer to her query "Who the f**k hired you?" is, Luther was on the search committee who chose the former Harvard master. She deleted her online presence to hide her privileged childhood. In Cambridge, MA October 2015, black extremist group banned white people from a candidate forum. Taxpayer funded WGBH-TV Boston PBS broadcasts weekly show for black only professionals who strategize how to get more money and power. Silence from privileged black Harvard University students. Roger Morris in his book, Partners in Power (1996) describes how weak persons with relaxed rectitude are placed into positions of power. Not just university presidents and provosts, but police chiefs, governors, mayors and CEOs. They are easier to manipulate. At University of Missouri even more privileged athletes threatened the university with $1 million loss if they did not play Brigham Young University in football. Hunger striker Butler is son of Exec. Vice President of Union Pacific, salary $8 million in 2014. Spineless administrators and Soros funded activists incite nonsensical misguided protests. Journalist professor who threatened videographer with violence on Missouri campus resigned after her shameless clueless outrage. It is 1968 all over again. Upper class radicals with nothing to lose shout at spineless useful idiot administrators. At Missouri, Wolfe and Stokes did no wrong. Targeted for their thoughts. What role did the White House play in encouraging these racial events? White House deserves more blame than Wolfe and Stokes.

Is It Likely Congress Will Stop Destructive Iranian Nuclear Weapons Deal? All Votes For Sale?

[From article]
Frontpage Magazine has published a bombshell report that has been met with total silence by the media. Daniel Greenfield’s piece is entitled “Traitor Senators Took Money from Iran Lobby, Back Iran Nukes.”
Our politicians bought by Iran include not just a list of senators and congressmen about to vote on the Iran deal. Recipients of Iran’s largess for their campaigns include President Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton.
[. . .]
Iranian-American activists against the mullahs’ regime in Iran correctly described IAPAC as a "lobby group for a terrorist regime.”
[. . .]
President Obama himself accepted $50,000 from one of the Iran Lobby founders.
[. . .]
Point of interest: the Israel Lobby, AIPAC, does not make direct campaign contributions.
Some on Greenfield’s list of traitors are no surprise. Senator Markey got the maximum campaign contribution from the Iranians and has announced his support for the Iran deal. So did Al Franken. Senator Jeanne Shaheen did it for half price.

Iranians are buying Democrat Congress (they already bought Kerry, Clinton, and Biden)
By Karin McQuillan
* * *

[From article]
Obama will get his veto-proof vote. He will be allowed to capitulate to Iran, with $120 billion thrown in for them to splurge on terror to their heart’s content. We will allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons and purchase ICBM missiles that can reach America. We will give birth to a Shi’ite-Sunni nuclear arms race. We will sow this whirlwind and live with the consequence for years. Because Democrats in Congress will give Obama their votes.
I understand Obama very well – he is a leftist hater who wants America (and Israel) punished and whittled down to size. But almost half our nation are Democrats. Not every Democrat in Congress is as radical as Obama. Few of them share his personal history and characterological problems. Why aren’t they standing up to him?
[. . .]
They lived through Obamacare and saw how Obama survived the citizens’ wrath just fine, while Democrats throughout the country saw themselves booted out of office, from State House to the Governor’s office to Congress. Yet they are willing to jump off the cliff for Obama again. What is going on? Is it just desperation to keep blacks voting as a block for Democrats? Are they being bought off by Obama and the Iranians?
[. . .]
The entire Democratic Party from top to bottom is made of niche interest groups who are bought off by having their narrow self-interest promoted above the interests of the country. The feminists get abortion without limit at the price of infanticide. The gays get gay marriage at the price of religious freedom. The teacher unions get lifetime job security at the price of lousy schools. The government bureaucrats get outsize salary/benefit/pension packages at the price of bankrupting the country. The race hustlers get the President fomenting racial hatred, at the price of people’s lives. Those dependent on the government teat get more and more stuff and a blind eye to fraud, while the economy sinks under our debt. The environmentalists and Silicon Valley get subsidies for green energy and EPA attacks on our energy industry, at the price of energy security and blue collar jobs. The Hispanic activists get illegal immigration, at the cost of good salaries and jobs for citizens. Hollywood and liberal Jews and academia get entry to the jobs and cocktail parties controlled by punitive, blacklisting, fellow liberals. And they all get to feel superior and sanctimonious at the same time by libeling conservatives as uncaring, racist, morons.
[. . .]
Each Democrat voting block cares only about themselves. That is the essence of the Democratic Party.
No wonder Democrats easy to buy off on Iran. Not one part of the Democrat voting bloc cares about national security, stability in the Middle East, Israel, or the dangers of a Sunni-Shite arms race. For most of them patriotism is so passé, so flyover country. They only care about getting their own perks. They are dreamers who believe their own B.S. about how beautiful the world will be once America stops being aggressive. So why should their representatives in Congress care about Obama’s insane handing over of the Middle East to Iran?
[. . .]
We can’t wait for Democrats to step up and stop the Iran Deal. They don’t care enough about America to do it. We can’t wait for our Republican politicians – as they did with Obamacare, they console themselves the world will go up in flames and tens or hundreds of thousands die, but Democrats will be punished at the polls next November. That is not good enough.
Tragically, the public is asleep as an Iranian nightmare is being loosed upon the world by our own fellow citizens and politicians.
[. . .]
Sen. Ted Cruz has invited Donald Trump to Washington next month for a rally against the Iran nuclear deal.
The two Republican rivals are set to appear at an event organized by the Tea Party Patriots, the Center for Security Politics, and the Zionist Organization of America, according to the Cruz campaign.

Rush Limbaugh Comments On Shocking Trump Campaign

[From article]
Sharyl Attkisson has written a great analysis of this, and it is a fact that Trump did not say what he's being reputed to have said. He said it one time, he was answering a question, and he said that McCain's not a hero, captured, and he changed and said four different times he is a hero, he is a war hero. McCain is a war hero. He said that four times.
The Washington Post, for example, did not report that at all, never reported that Trump said it once, much less four times. Anyway, see, the facts don't really matter in a circumstance like this. That's another thing. What actually was said by the offending party and the context in which it was said are purposely blurred, lied about, or ignored.
[. . .]
Anyway, so Trump says what he says about McCain following McCain's insult of Trump's voters, or supporters, calling them crazies, people in his own state. This ticked Trump off. He doesn't want to think that people support him on immigration or anything else are a bunch of crazy wackos, and McCain characterized them as that. And nobody suggested McCain apologize to the American people. Nobody suggested McCain apologize for that characterization of American citizens, "crazies."
[. . .]
So the convention wisdom erupts into full bloom. The media, the Washington establishment, conservative and liberal both, immediately demand that Trump apologize.
[. . .]
Trump hasn't apologized. Not only has Trump not apologized, he has doubled down and he has to added to his original criticism of McCain. He's calling McCain a bad guy. McCain's a lousy politician. McCain talks a lot but doesn't do anything, Trump says. The VA is a mess. Illegal immigration's a mess. Everything we hear McCain say he supports or cares about, it's all going to hell. He's a bad guy. He's not a good politician. I'm trying to save America. I'm not gonna apologize.
[. . .]
A majority of the American people don't trust the media. A majority of the American people consider the media a problem.
[. . .]
The American people haven't seen something like this in a long time. I'm serious. They have not seen an embattled public figure stand up for himself, double down, and tell everybody to go to hell.

Trump Teachable Moment: How Come Liberals Can Savage McCain's Service?
July 20, 2015

Civility Is New Form Of Censoring Protected Speech

The focus by journalists on the comments by Trump shows the sorry state of American journalism, but also public discourse. Using the civility standard for public discourse silences and inhibits much speech which could explain where problems exist and how to fix them. Instead speaking about problems is discouraged because it might hurt someone's feelings. I encountered this same principle in public meetings in Cambridge, MA. One Washington DC dinner speaker, a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States discussed this dangerous principle. Trump's comments are protected speech. If they are wrong or factually incorrect journalists should show how and why. Instead they use personal attacks which are a form of propaganda. 


Donald Trump

[From article]
"I will say what I want to say, and maybe that’s why I’m leading in the polls because people are tired of hearing politicians and pollsters telling the politicians exactly what to say," Trump told Raddatz.
The fact is that apologizing after a comment judged as ill-advised (at best) by most politicians is exact opposite of the Trump brand. The sort of people who misspeak and then try to clean up their messes are the very people that Trump derides -- and that he believes the public can't stand either.
Even as Trump was refusing to apologize, former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley was in the midst of the misspeak-apology cycle. In response to demonstrators at a liberal gathering in Phoenix demanding that O'Malley address police brutality and chanting "black lives matter, O'Malley said "Black lives matter. White lives matter. All lives matter." He later apologized; "That was a mistake on my part and I meant no disrespect," he said. "I did not mean to be insensitive in any way or communicate that I did not understand the tremendous passion, commitment and feeling and depth of feeling that all of us should be attaching to this issue."

John McCain has called his own constituents who want a secure border “crazies.” No one in the news media or the establishment, including the Republican National Committee, criticized the senator for those comments.
Now, as respected reporter Sharyl Attkisson has proved point by point, the news media are also distorting my words. But that is not my point. McCain the politician has failed the state of Arizona and the country.
[. . .]
Thanks to McCain and his Senate colleague Bernie Sanders, their legislation to cover up the VA scandal, in which 1,000+ veterans died waiting for medical care, made sure no one has been punished, charged, jailed, fined or held responsible. McCain has abandoned our veterans. I will fight for them.
[. . .]
He would rather protect the Iraqi border than Arizona’s. He even voted for the Iran Nuclear Review Act of 2015, which allows Obama, who McCain lost to in a record defeat, to push his dangerous Iran nuclear agreement through the Senate without a supermajority of votes.
A number of my competitors for the Republican nomination have no business running for president. I do not need to be lectured by any of them. Many are failed politicians or people who would be unable to succeed in the private sector.

Contrary to Spineless Network Television Talking Heads Broadcasting Propaganda

Flaherty deserves a bravery award for being able to listen to the Sunday television talk shows. They are all getting to be like PBS, one sided propaganda all the time. Watching this video clip reminded me of William F. Buckley's observation about liberals and other opinions. These pundits say they want conversations. But they just want everyone to agree with what they say.

Summer Solstice 2015

Each year at the solstices there are celebrations in or near Cambridge MA. Pagans and Wiccans celebrate nature, and the non spiritual world. This year I finally made it to a party for the summer solstice. It was advertised by a neighborhood as a block party. I went to see what it was like. As soon as I arrived I realized (actually before I told myself not to have unreasonable expectations) that parties are parties. What makes them or breaks them are the people at the party. OK some parties are thought to be great because of the food, celebrities, the drugs or the open bar. It is like all of life. Human happiness depends on the people with whom you live and/or work. If you like them and they like you it is a wonderful life. If not it may not be unhappy. But it is just bearable, like the lives of the mass of men, "quiet desperation." Henry David Thoreau, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."



There were lots of children, toddlers trying to break a pinata which was on the ground. The toddlers were blindfolded and trying one at a time. I immediately became alert to the potential for being thought a predator if I watched them have fun. I moved along to a one man band with food on a table. One young lady smiled at me. That also put me on alert. What was she up to? I'm no longer young and handsome. I'm not rich, famous or powerful. Why was she smiling at me? If I walked over and spoke to her would she accuse me of trying to rape her? Today's young women have been conditioned not to trust men, the enemy. "Why are you talking to me? Do I know you?" I once read that young women who are trained to smile at others fear to do so in cities. Some men think the woman wants to be approached and do not know they are just being polite. I kept moving. I did not see any friendly faces. They are neighbors, most of whom do not know one another. I didn't even live in the neighborhood. I went shopping. Along the way I saw a couple walking with a dog. Uh, wait. I saw something I shouldn't have seen. Finally got to the store. New man at the deli counter. Why do I always get the new guy, who does not know what he is doing? Like many at the deli counter he is black from Africa, not African American. If I complain "He's a racist." Got my stuff and left.



Readers may think I'm paranoid for how I see others. They have not had experiences anything near mine. So let me briefly, emphasis on briefly, explain. Currently police employees from Somerville, MA resumed the role of primary harassers in my life. I said resumed because Somerville, MA police employees participated in the long harassment campaign beginning in or about 1972. They disturb my sleep every one or two hours trying to provoke violence. They sabotage my home computer. They interfere with my telephone, landline and cell, my cable television, and US mail. They intentionally inflict emotional and psychological stress, a tort. Their goal is to have me arrested or put into a hospital. I live in Cambridge. Why are they allowed to conduct a brutal campaign of criminal harassment and surveillance in Cambridge? Why do Cambridge police allow it? A better question is why are they harassing me at all? During one period, a government agency had a standing offer of $50,000 to anyone who could drive me crazy. 


Dustin Hofffman in Wag The Dog

The best answer after 45 years of similar abuses is, they do it to control me. In 1973 government psychiatrists drugged me for 80 consecutive days contrary to law. I was not under the care of any psychiatrist. There was no court order to permit this series of chemical assaults, poisoning under state statute. (Ever hear of someone being drugged by government psychiatrists illegally?) "This is nothing," as the Dustin Hoffman character movie producer, says in Wag The Dog. I never volunteered to be a human subject for any medical research project. They thought I was a spy. They asked, "How did he know that?" It is a pattern still operative today, of arrogance. They think of themselves as smarter, morally superior to others. If they do not tell ordinary people what they are doing and separating their lies from truth, it is (in their minds) impossible for ordinary civilians to figure out what they are doing.



I was speculating to my friends by telephone. My phone was tapped by the FBI. I didn't know it. But I was right. In any case over the next 42 years, organized crime families, police, FBI informants and agents, and Communists took turns harassing me. Their goal was to control me, often by destroying me. The California Syndicate began the attacks in 1968 because they were at war with the Kennedy Cult which adopted me. One element then was "He likes to sleep with married women." This was a stretch, because I was paranoid then due to my political activity. I feared being criticized for sleeping with married women. A few flirted with me and invited me to lunch. At that time in New York City many people were sleeping with anyone and everyone they felt like sleeping with. It was not a big deal. Truth does not matter for character assassination. Just relentless broadcasting of accusations. No evidence is required.



The government and crime families used drugs, behavior conditioning, brute force, threats, ridicule, humiliation, insults, surveillance, provocations and most of all character assassination. It worked. They isolated me. The FBI stole my personal journals and sold copies to crime families and local police who used them to ridicule and to humiliate me. They culled the several women I dated and wrote about. They are all married to FBI informants and agents. Today they still harass me but I no longer have any group or friends supporting me. The many well funded taxpayer funded agencies who's mission is to protect vulnerable people stand by and watch. Some participate in the abuses. They all use similar patterns, most often young women as bait. They are usually man hating feminists, and lesbians. That is why I am skeptical when women smile at me. Oh, and on Friday, June 19, 2015, one of the recent lead harassers, a black racist gentleman from the state of Washington, assured me, "That is all over. It's all locked up. No more of that." Uh-huh. So this is what?



Or consider this. On June 17, 2015 a white man, 21, who allegedly hated black people, shot and killed nine black people who were attending a church service. A movement was resumed to take down the Confederate flag from the South Carolina state house. This is one of many political efforts exploiting the tragic deaths of innocent people. No less than the White House continued his propaganda tactics dividing Americans. With his liberal useful idiots, he blamed guns for those deaths. The pharmaceutical industry blames mental illness, demanding more taxpayer funded treatment. One genius politician blamed Fox News. Among those commenting on the Confederate flag, was the new Republican, Harvard College trained Governor of Massachusetts, Charlie Baker. He suggested it was a matter for the people of the state of South Carolina to display the flag or not. When he was confronted with a few extremist liberals in Massachusetts he immediately caved and apologized for saying what he did. One more spineless politician produced by Harvard University. So if a popular Governor is unwilling to stand up to speech and thought bullies who say they are offended by the Governor's speech, what is to be expected from small time bureaucrats who are obligated to accept complaints about abuse from vulnerable persons? A man accused of being crazy, complains about police and crime families harassing him? Hah!



How did we get to this situation of young white men hating black people and black people accusing all white people of racism? Did the past seven years of a White House and an Attorney General repeatedly accusing white people of racism play any role? On Sunday, June 21, 2015  irresponsible biased national journalists, cited the extremist leftist Southern Poverty Law Center, in reports of what to blame. Richard Cohen their spokesman said the South Carolina man accused of nine killings got his ideas from the internet. Really? So he became a hater of black people from internet sites. Does that mean that everyone who reads essays and reports online will become racists? Where did black people who hate white people get their ideas from? The same internet? Did comments by the White House and the Attorney General over the past seven years get reported and repeated on the internet? Did that have any effect on young black people? Or young white people? Did radio and television journalists have any effect on increasing the hatred of black people toward white people, by repeating the propaganda that all white people are racist? Did propaganda promoted by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and repeated by useful idiot journalists,  have any effect on the South Carolina suspect? What role did Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the many misguided politicians, who repeat extremist leftist propaganda have on the mind of the suspect?



The above mentioned groups openly and fearlessly harass me after 45 previous years of similar criminal abuse. Some friends died. Others abandoned me. I don't blame them. Who needs this in their lives? I am left as a target for abuse by psychopaths who enjoy beating up vulnerable people. I am now over 70 years old. For 42 years one element of their relentless character assassination is "He's crazy." Government psychiatrists had three cover stories for their drugging campaign. "He's having a nervous breakdown." or "He's a drug addict." or "Teenagers put PCP also called angel dust, [In some users, PCP may cause acute anxiety and a feeling of impending doom; in others, paranoia and violent hostility, and in some, it may produce a psychoses indistinguishable from schizophrenia. Many believe PCP to be one of the most dangerous drugs of abuse.] into his marijuana."



Each group has their own elements of character assassination. None of them broadcast anything to make me look good. While I was of interest to the Kennedy cult, they adopted me when I was a student at Columbia University. They intended to groom me to be a political leader. They did the same with others. It is how they produce politicians. They study and learn how to control and to manipulate their recruits. Most politicians are weak and have relaxed rectitude. They are the cadre of political leaders who go along to get along. Harvard University produces this kind of leader.



Today each crime family has their version of history which they believe and promote to others. Police and the FBI have their own version which they promote also. It is not limited to judicial findings, and includes at least one police frame up in Cambridge, MA in 1990. See brief description of frame up at this link

http://enoughroom.blogspot.com/2014/12/multi-millionaire-actor-seeks-pardon.html

What makes this impossible to resolve is that their objective is control. But I am unable to comply with all of the elements of the various players. One group says "He's a criminal." The other says "He works for the police." Un-involved people get angry at me when it turns out I am not what someone else told them. One says "He's black." The other says "He's a white racist." One says "He's crazy." The other, "There's noting wrong with him." One says "He's homosexual." The other "He's heterosexual." It is always on with two conflicting demands which it is impossible for me to be at the same time. Yet that is what these players all demand. One says "He's a Communist." The other, "He's in organized crime." and so on. One has said for many years, "He's a retired drug dealer." The other "He's crazy and homeless."



In a PBS WNET production, Funkiest Monkeys, videographer Colin Stafford-Johnson observed Samson who replaced Tarzan the former dominant monkey of a troop of black crested macaques in Indonesia. Colin said, "He's completely on his own. That's not a good thing to be if you're a monkey. It's hard to believe looking at him now, the state of him, that yesterday he was surrounded by females. How the mighty can fall in such a short space of time. So I really don't know what's going to happen to him."



That reminded me of what a Columbia University classmate said about me, to me when I told him the police were harassing me. His reaction, "You're crazy." Then, "How the mighty have fallen." He knew me when I was a student leader at Columbia, and when the FBI was using me to fight organized crime for 15 years. He did not know they did not pay me, and then joined in the character assassination. He did not know the government drugged me. The human world imitates the natural world. Or is it the other way around?

"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." Martin Luther King, Jr.

"The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." Albert Einstein



That would include those officials who are paid to do something about it, e.g., police, prosecutors, politicians, FBI and taxpayer funded human services protection agencies. One social worker told me, "We can't help you with criminal matters." Huh? Police and crime families conduct a brutal criminal campaign of harassment and they can't help? What is their problem? An elder services taxpayer funded agency demanded of me, "Can you prove you are not mentally ill?" I mean, can anyone prove a negative? And what if I was? Does that make the abuse acceptable? How do these people justify their lack of spine and refusal to act against egregious abuses?

Texas Teacher Fired For Protected Speech About Texas Policeman's Actions During Arrest

Fired: Teacher Karen Fitzgibbons was fired for saying online that she was 'almost to the point' of supporting racial segregation after watching video of a white officer wrestling a black teenager to the ground in Mckinney.

More spineless school board politicians, intimidating others for free thought and free expression. They show their ignorance saying "We find these statements to be extremely offensive, insensitive, and disrespectful to our Frenship community and citizens everywhere. These comments in no way represent the educational environment we have created for our students." Protecting offensive and insensitive speech is the purpose of the First Amendment. But also these misguided officials admit creating an educational environment where free speech is not celebrated, protected or defended. They appear to violate their oaths of office by their actions. They are more examples of the weak anti Americans who hold public office in the United States today. 

[From article]

A West Texas school district has fired a teacher who said online that she was 'almost to the point' of supporting racial segregation after watching video of a white officer wrestling a black bikini-clad teenager to the ground in Mckinney.
'I'm just going to just go ahead and say it...the blacks are the ones causing the problems and this "racial tension," fourth-grade teacher Karen Fitzgibbons wrote in the since-deleted Facebook post on Wednesday.
'I guess that's what happens when you flunk out of school and have no education. I'm sure their parents are just as guilty for not knowing what their kids were doing; or knew and didn't care.'
[. . .]

The Frenship school district, near Lubbock, said in a statement on Thursday that it was disappointed by the 'thoughtlessness' of fourth-grade teacher Karen Fitzgibbons' charged comments.
'Frenship ISD is deeply disappointed in the thoughtlessness conveyed by this employee's post,' the release said.
'We find these statements to be extremely offensive, insensitive, and disrespectful to our Frenship community and citizens everywhere. These comments in no way represent the educational environment we have created for our students.'

[From article]
The principal of North Miami Senior High School has lost his job over his Facebook comment defending the Texas police officer caught on video pushing a teen girl to the ground in an incident at a community pool.
[. . .]
"If you're running a majority black school and you say a remark such as that people will not respect you," student Price Testinobles said.
"Of course teachers and parents and students they're gonna see it (the post) it's not his job to go comment on with the police were doing," added another student.

This is the Chilling Effect in action. What happened to the ACLU? People are being intimidated by thugs who threaten free thought and free speech. It is the road to totalitarianism. Few young people are taught the purpose of the Constitution and especially the First Amendment. It is to protect speech that you hate. Hating speech is no reason to shut it down. Emotions do not make for rational thought or public policies. It does encourage mob rule. The current White House thrives in the misguided atmosphere of emotional manipulation. The intimidation extends to the spineless Chief of Police in  McKinney, Texas who did not support Officer Casebolt, as well as to the school board in North Miami made up of similarly spineless officials. 

[From article]
In a public post on a story about the Texas incident on the Miami Herald's website, Iber wrote that Officer David Eric Casebolt, who has since resigned, did nothing wrong and was afraid for his life.
In the comment section, believing he would be anonymous Iber posted,'He did nothing wrong. He was afraid for his life. I commend him for his actions.'
But the post included Iber's Facebook picture, name, school and title.
The comment was later deleted, but not before it had been screenshotted and passed around social media.
Iber told the Herald that he supports law enforcement and was sorry if his opinion upset people.

Timorous New York City Supporters of Sharia Law, Cancel Anti Censorship Event

[From article]
I am sure the “guardians” of the right like Bill O’Reilly, Laura Ingraham and Greta Van Susteren will applaud this capitulation and adherence to the brutal sharia, but freedom-loving people are fed up. Who designated these spineless, gutless wonders as the gatekeepers of our freedoms? We are not Muslims. We do not adhere to the sharia. This is elemental.
Like dominoes, one after another lies down and submits to the most brutal and extreme ideology on the face of the earth. We are living under boot of the left and we must push back. Hard. Once freedom of speech is no longer free, it’s over.
Larry Flynt is a free speech hero to the left. Lenny Bruce, too.[. . .]
According to The New York Times, the “Playwrights for a Cause” event was set to feature four new short plays about censorship of the arts on June 14 at the Sheen Center for Thought and Culture in Greenwich Village.
While the event was intended to combat censorship, William Spencer Reilly, the executive director of the non-sectarian venue, essentially censored it over an act regarding Mohammed, which is sexual in nature.
The title in question: Mohammed Gets a Boner.[. . .]
“When an artistic project maligns any faith group, that project clearly falls outside of our mission to highlight the good, the true, and the beautiful as they have been expressed throughout the ages,” Reilly told the Times.
Reilly reportedly green-lit the event in February, but told the paper he had only become aware of the title of the play earlier this week, after a staff member noticed it online.
He then read the script and decided to cancel the event altogether for what he called a “clear offense to Muslims.”

Extremist Leftist Homosexual Democrats Oppose Religious Freedom In The Name of Homosexual Privileges

[From article]
Right now, Gov. Mike Pence is the only Republican politician defending this bill. He is looking for a new law to clarify the bill’s intent, as Indiana faces a wave of hostility from powerful corporations that is sick to see, based as it is on a lie. The NCAA weighed in with “concern” about how it affects student athletes and employees. Angie’s List CEO is putting Indianapolis expansion plans on hold to punish the citizens of Indiana.
But on the core message, Pence is speaking truth to a gathering storm of powerful forces. Gov. Pence said, “This is not about legalizing discrimination, it is about restricting the government’s ability to intrude on the religious liberty of our citizens.”
[. . .]



What about religious liberty don’t they like any more?

the future of religious liberty in America will depend in part on whether there is at least one political party willing to defend it.

Republicans Win Election, Lose Their Spines

US Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)

[From article]
Poll after poll showed Americans ranking illegal immigration as the No. 1 most important problem facing the nation. We haven’t changed our minds. Last week, an Associated Press-Gfk poll showed that Obama’s single most unpopular policy is his position on illegal immigration.
In other words, Obamacare is more popular than amnesty. That’s like losing a popularity contest to Ted Bundy.
[. . .]
McConnell’s spokesman at the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Brad Dayspring, predicted that Obama’s amnesty threat would drive voters to “elect a new Senate (that) will stand up to the president.”
Check! Mission accomplished! Done and done! Officially off our bucket list. OK, guys, your turn. When do you start standing up to the president? Hello? Hell-oooo?
[. . .]
Why don’t Republicans attack the media? People hate the media! Their power is eroding — and it would erode a lot faster if Congress would challenge them. Instead of submitting to the media’s blackmail, my suggestion is, take their gun away.
Tell voters what the media won’t: that Obama’s “amnesty” will give illegal aliens Social Security cards and three years of back-payments through the Earned Income Tax Credit, even though they never paid taxes in the first place.
[. . .]
Why don’t Republicans spend all their airtime attacking the media for lying about what Obama’s amnesty does and what the Democrats are doing? It’s hard to avoid concluding that Republicans aren’t trying to make the right arguments. In fact, it kind of looks like they’re intentionally throwing the fight on amnesty.
If a Republican majority in both houses of Congress can’t stop Obama from issuing illegal immigrants Social Security cards and years of back welfare payments, there is no reason to vote Republican ever again.
