| Speaking Truth to Power |
| 2014-11-23 |
| One of the most fascinating conceits of our ruling powerful elites — be they in entertainment, politics, governance, jurisprudence or news reporting — is the often repeated assertion of being some kind of underdog “speaking truth to power.” This comes with the concomitant illusion that anyone opposing them is paid by powerful interests. Never mind that the ones making the accusation are usually in positions of power and receive recognition all out of proportion to their achievements, ...And the reason they feel forced to keep up the pretense of being downtrodden and hard done by while basking in all the privilege and material rewards of elites everywhere is that they are a theocracy and the faith they used to climb to power is Marxism, with its extolling of the downtrodden and later (when the downtrodden of the west failed to rise and instead reaped the benefits of capitalism and moved to the middle class) the interesting “other” originating in third world nations ...In fact, I believe part of Mister Obamas fascination with bringing in as many people as he can from countries where they (generally) tan better than us and grew up in misery, is not out of anything rational but out of this religious belief in the invincibility of the “other.” He’s thus sure that if he gets enough of them in, Marxist revolution will immediately arise and the American populace will be unable to defend themselves, because of the magical power of the “other.” |

| #1 It's critical theory. Look it up, it is all the rage in Academia. It is a compilation of Marx, Engels, and Hegel...with a dash of Leninism. It is the basis of all of these ethnic studies curriculums, and it is wall to wall in many college textbooks. I am working on my Doctorate in Health Administration and most of the texts that are required reading contain sizable chunks of critical theory in their content. Look it up and you will be appalled at the intellectual vacuum. |
