Article

2021-10-26

It came to me today, as I was wondering where to file an article. It had to do with "Climate Protesters" blocking a road into Manhattan.

Then there was the Oxfam story. They removed a kiddie game celebrating "inspirational women" after trans and non-binary staffers complained.
There's another caravan of migrants headed our way, border patrol or no.
You Tube deleted an anti-Biden rap song ("Let's Go, Brandon") after taking issue with some of the lyrics
The military's taken over in Sudan, again, because obviously they can do it so much better than a civilian government. Just look at Burma. Or Myanmar, or Thingoon, or whatever it's called this week.
Museums in Britain are complaining because every time somebody is "triggered" by the sight of somebody who lived two or three hundred years ago his/her/its statue gets tossed into the Thames.
Hey! That's kinda like what's happening here in the U.S., with Jeff Davis, R.E. Lee, John C. Calhoun and others who were on the other side in the late (160 years ago) unpleasantness.

Now, my definition of inspirational women does lean toward the strawberry blondish and svelte, but I can certainly see the value of a Margaret Thatcher, or an Anna Comnena, Galla Placidia, either Queen Elizabeth, or even the Queen of Sheba.

RT has an opinion piece entitled The narcissism of trans activists 'protesting' at David Chappelle sums up how taking choreographed offense has become a plague

I like that term "choreographed offense." It sums it up pretty well. I can remember (yes, I'm that old) my mother and father (I had one of each) arguing over the "civil disobedience" approach. Civil disobedience involves violating laws. Mom was on the side of the people getting water-cannoned and/or tossed into the jug. Dad, the wiser of the two as I've come to realize, could see what the idea looked like when drawn out to absurdity. It looks early afternoon at the nut house.

If I've got a hair up my butt because gas prices under the Biden Crime Family have gone through the roof, does that give me any right to block Coastal Highway to the north and south of Rehoboth Beach?

If someone takes issue with my protest, is getting out of their (blocked) car when they're not gonna make it to work today and hitting me with a tire iron also covered?

Blocking Coastal Highway would be a demonstration that I'm an anus. Hitting me with a tire iron would be a demonstration that the other guy's an anus too.

When hundreds or even thousands of anuses take to the streets it's called mob rule, just like the Moslems erupting from their mosques like clockwork on Fridays, looking for infidels to kill. It applies in Portland, where the authorities, such as they are, are so intimidated by the people in favor of burning the place down that they told the police to let them do as they pleased. Seattle's not far behind them; they had a nice Summer of Love last year. Minneapolis is run by what acts like a student council. San Francisco is properly called Pooptown, and New York is run by a corrupt communist. What idiot doesn't believe that the people calling to defund the police® aren't crooks? Cui fergawdsake bono?

So anyway, to make a long story short, I've added another category and called it Mob Rule. I'm still of two minds whether to dump the antifa/BLM category into it, but when it's people being bullied and shamed and such, I think they fit perfectly well. If it's not otherwise organized, anything with the story containing the word or an allusion to "activists" gets included. Your comments are welcome.

#1 I like it.
Following the "what, when, who" model of characterization it might be appropriate to expand the search list index of 'organization' to include the many non-terrorist agency elements we encounter daily.

#6 Could also call "all that's afflicting this country" "Soros". He's the money behind all of it.

And Russia has a warrant for his arrest.

As an aside, it's great to pin this all on one fella, but the institutions, all of them -- government, academia, religious institutions and corporate entities -- have been overrun by the Marxist and leftist crazies who are all too happy to use those institutions to impose their weird world view on the rest of us.

#9 "Soros". He's the money behind all of it.

Lots of Progressive centi-billionaires are putting their money into politics. Mr. Soros himself mostly teams up with various combinations of others for various projects. Some months back ee had an article that listed a bunch of them and their funds and NGO targets — I didn’t recall most of them, though most had been mentioned in our archives.

#10 Not a Conspiracy of Wicked Traitors.
More like a Confederacy of Grifting Morons

#11 The centi-billionaires aren't even coy about the baksheesh they're spraying about. Think:

- Reid Hoffman funding outright lies and disinformation campaigns

- Hoffman + Sheryl Slander grabbing that deranged surfer girl, Bambi Hippocampus, to hop in a private jet and spin ridiculous tales and outright lies about Judge Kavanaugh

- Reed Hastings funneling a $68 million post-presidential payout to Soetoro the "Executive Producer" of stupid films no one's ever heard of

- Reed Hastings funneling another payoff to a future Woke Party presidential hopeful, $5 million to Gavin Brylcream's anti-recall campaign

- Suckerberg spending $441 million under the guise of "election integrity" but in reality to rig the election in the battleground states

- Bloomberg spending $200 million to outright buy felons' votes in Florida @ ~$13k per felonious monk

- hundreds of Google employees rotating in and out of the Soetoro and Pres. Magoo administrations, making policy by directive and administrative fiat and ensuring that DOJ doesn't join the antitrust bandwagon and investigate Google's blatant price-fixing, anticompetitive behavior and outright manipulation of the programmatic advertising market

Probably dozens more examples but these are the biggest and most obvious.

#12 the three box choice looms as soap box has been drowned out and made invisible, and the ballot box seems to be increasingly suspect, with 2022 perhaps answering the question about its integrity. If the Dominion solution is used in the Old Dominion options dwindle to ...

#13 Or else box #4: the moving boxes.
But where?
