Politics


Two weeks ago the so-called European Court of Human Rights published a decision condemning Italy to remove all crucifixes from public schools classrooms. Meanwhile, a German court has ruled that a High School in Berlin must provide a special room for Muslim praying students which are mainly from a second generation immigration. Last but not least, the European Union is menacing a small country as Lithuania to be expelled on basis of “homophobia”.

If ever proof were needed that EU national governments may no longer legislate in accordance with their own cultural traditions, or enact laws which uphold the Christian understanding of the family, it is now evident.

Astonishingly (or perhaps not), the European Parliament has considered ‘Article 7’ action against Lithuania, which could have resulted in Lithuania’s suspension from the European Union. And all because they have dared to confront what they deem to be insidious homosexual propaganda.

In order to have a full idea of the actual European irrationality, please check this figures [PDF] and verify the total inconsistency and incoherence of an insane European political elite.

“Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.” ― Ayn Rand

First of all, let me say that being a conservative, I have absolutely nothing against free enterprise and capitalism. However, obviously I am not a right wing libertarian as Ayn Rand was. Trotsky said once that “a right independent is a leftist and a left independent belongs to the right”. In many ways, the right libertarians unconsciously play the game of the left ― at least they play by the same rules.

The aforementioned citation allegedly quoted from Ayn Rand ― and I believe it is from her own property ― is exactly the opposite of Schopenhauer’s idea about civilization which was conceived as “prison” restraining the ferocious animal called “man”. As I do not sympathize much with Schopenhauer I will skip it.

Jean-Henri Fabre wrote that « Men will succumb victimized by the excesses caused by what is called “civilization” ». This quote implies a vision of History similar to Oswald Spengler’s ― or even to the Italian illuminist Mario Pagano before him. Also carries with it a strong apocalyptical view resulting from a belief that societies cannot regenerate themselves. So let’s skip Fabre.

Let’s try another one: “True barbarism is Dachau; true civilization is, in the first place, that special part of the human being that all concentrations camps intended to destroy.” The French Andre Malraux is the author of this one.

Does this citation coordinates itself with the above one of Ayn Rand? Well, being “free from oppression” is not the same as being “free from men” ― we could be “oppressed” by ourselves in the first place.
We simply cannot be totally free from our next door neighbors (unless we shoot them) and we cannot consider human interdependence and sociability as a sort of “oppression”. May be Ayn Rand considered “men” as a invariable symbol of “oppression”; however, we cannot rationally support this conception of “men”.

Furthermore, I do not see either History (or civilization) as a “process”. When we talk about History we’re talking about multi generations of human beings and not about any kind of “process” as making industrial hot-dogs. The word “process” was applied to History in the first place by Hegel with his tragic “dialectics of reason” followed by gnostics as Karl Marx that caused the Marxist gulags, Hitler and the Nazi concentration camps, more than 200 million victims only in 20th century — and even Ayn Rand is also part of all that “process” as per Franz Kafka.

The best way to understand the philosophy of Ayn Rand is trying to understand Eric Voegelin.

Finally, a quotation from Jean-Edern Hallier:

“Civilizations are mortal only because they become clairvoyant. As soon as they set reflecting about themselves, they blow up…”

The liberal leftists ― the cultural Marxists ― very often invoke the so called “Slippery Slope” logical argument, as follows:

Slippery slope argument

This argument states that should one event occur, so will other harmful events. There is no proof made that the harmful events are caused by the first event. For example:

“If we legalize marijuana, then more people would start to take crack and heroin, and we’d have to legalize those too. Before long we’d have a nation full of drug-addicts on welfare. Therefore we cannot legalize marijuana.”

The same argument is used in relation to same-sex “marriage”: in case gay “marriage” is legalized, they say, it does not necessarily mean that either poliamory or polygamy would be legalized in the future. Or even it does not mean that our children’s sexual age of consent would be lowered.

The argument above is both nonscientific and fallacious (anti logical) itself, because a) it is proven that marijuana leads to hard drugs consumption, and b) you cannot morally sustain a legal prohibition when you’ve started making concessions on matters of principles concerning similar or even identical issues.

The greatest danger from the leftists’ agenda is that they use the systematic lie as the only mean of political action. Their ethics are teleological ― all means are previously justified to achieve their goals, including transforming the “Slippery slope” argument aforementioned in a slippery slope itself.

Barack Hussein Obama is clearly performing a politic of a) decreasing US power in the world and b) increasing US federal political control over US citizens. The first political option is intended to turn USA more likely to be attacked by US ’s enemies, and the second one is intended to cut out or diminish the chances of popular opposition to Obama’s rule.

Obama is showing a overwhelming sympathy towards aggressive Islamic regimes which are profoundly committed to any sort of anti-US political campaigns. Obama and his entourage are trying to persuade the American political elite that Iran should have access to nuclear weaponry. On the other hand, Obama intends to have a 8 billion USD cut on US defense budget at the same very moment China completes its program to produce a new ballistic missile capable of destroying US carriers by a single shot within a two thousand miles range.

The Obama’s policy towards Cuba is going to turn Fidel’s regime stronger than it was some months ago. Fresh money coming from USA tourists and American non-governmental organizations financed by the federal budget will serve to give the brothers Castro a new start and it is expected that Cuban spying agents ― the so called “community advisers” ― will soon be entering USA borders at ease with Obama’s consent.

Unable to openly apply his agenda of guns control as the American people would not accept it ― at least for a while ―, Obama is now trying to keep US private ammo stores’ stocks availability as low as possible by establishing new customs barrier to the importation of raw materials that are used in the US ammunition production. With this policy, Obama has achieved a reality where American citizens will continue to carry their guns with shorted ammo availability or even without bullets. Pretty clever, isn’t it?

Obama is using FDA to promoting the so called “Codex Alimentarius” which is a UN food program controlled by a bunch of worldwide corporations such as Al Gore’s Monsanto. For instance, “Codex Alimentarius” will prohibit the old typical American home vegetables production made in US citizens countryside backyards, as well as “natural food” production ― i.e., vegetables without fertilizers or antibiotics ― will be also prohibited by Obama’s ruling just to serve his liberal entrepreneurial friends. “Codex Alimentarius” demands that each chicken or whatever animal raised by a US citizen at his backyard for his own consumption must be registered and controlled by Obama’s government and according to federal legal requirements and specifications.

Bureaucracy will be soon enormously increasing in America and that will mean a social-fascist regime has arrived.

The liberal senator Jay Rockefeller recently presented a Bill to the House that will put the Internet entirely and directly under American presidency staff control. Equally, the electoral census is already coordinated and controlled by Obama’s staff. Never before, in the History of United States, a president has had such a concentrated power as Barack Obama.

Such a concentration of power shows itself the construction of a totalitarian regime, a sort of a “new fascism” that unites the economic and financial power of the Trilateral and Bilderberg mentors with the populism of a political puppet as Barack Obama. These are the people who are relentlessly working for the “up to down” fascist revolution as Mussolini did in Italy in the twenties of last century ― a sort of totalitarian revolution that is imposed by the plutocracy elites to the people who worships a clown who humbly serves the plutocrats.

As an outside observer, I think that Obama is preparing to systematically and relentlessly eliminating the American traditional political system which has been warranting economics freedom and political liberty since the Founding Fathers. Obama is betraying the founding American ideals; I have no doubt about it.

The hate crime bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives April 29 is an attempt by democratic socialists and progressives to silence dissent against alternative lifestyles. Their incessant iconoclastic attacks on once established values and morality have nearly eroded this nation’s spiritual and cultural legacy. Instituting same-sex marriage and prosecuting hate speech will complete the process and shatter the remaining hopes for cultural regeneration and tear down the last vestiges of the country’s Judeo-Christian ethic.

In America’s brave new post-modern multiculture, homosexual and transgender people will become a federally-protected class under the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009, HR-1913. Under this act, anyone who publicly opposes the practice of homosexuality or any of the 30 other sexual orientations as designated by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) could be charged with expressing “hateful words” and convicted of a “hate crime.”

Under the guise of tolerance, Canada and European countries have implemented hate crimes legislation to suppress expressions that conflict with public opinion or do not conform to politically-correct policies, i.e., the views of the state are the views of the people. Only designated groups and minorities belong to the protected classes. The majority of Canadians and Europeans are not free to express politically incorrect religious beliefs, moral convictions, and political ideas publicly for fear they may enrage members in the protected classes.

Global cooling has arrived. Global warming is dead.

There is now irrefutable scientific evidence that far from global warming the earth has now entered a period of global cooling which will last at least for the next two decades.

Evidence for this comes from the NASA Microwave Sounding Unit and the Hadley Climate Research Unit while evidence that CO2 levels are continuing to increase comes from the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii.

DETROIT, Mich. — A graduate counseling student at Eastern Michigan University, who was expelled from the program for not affirming homosexual behavior as acceptable, has filed a federal lawsuit.

Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund Center for Academic Freedom said the school dismissed Julea Ward from the program because she would not agree prior to a counseling session to affirm a client’s homosexual behavior and would not retract her stance in subsequent disciplinary proceedings.

Adolf Hitler was gay – or so says a sensational new biography on the Nazi dictator due to be published tomorrow.
Eyewitness accounts from Hitler’s former lovers, and historical documents that for the first time illuminate rumours that have circulated for over half a century, are disclosed in Hitler’s Secret: The Double Life of a Dictator .

The respected German historian Lothar Machtan even claims in his book that Hitler ordered the deaths of several high-ranking Nazis to prevent the secret of his homosexuality from surfacing.

Ernst Röhm, the leader of Hitler’s Sturm Abteilung or Storm Troopers, tried to blackmail Hitler by threatening to reveal his sexuality. Röhm, who was also gay, was murdered as a result, according to Machtan, a history teacher at Bremen University.
