Not Tired of Winning Yet CLXXXII

Posted December 5, 2024 By John C Wright

Victor Willis, the singer-songwriter behind the famous YMCA song by  The Village People announced it to be no gay anthem, nor ever was. The words below are his:.

WHY I ALLOWED PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP’S CONTINUED USE OF Y.M.C.A.

AND

WHY THE SONG IS NOT REALLY A GAY ANTHEM

To Village People fans and the media:


I am the singer and writer of the lyrics to the hit Y.M.C.A. In fact, as was adjudicated and ruled in a U.S. District Court, I wrote 100% of the lyrics, and my writing partner, Jacques Morali, wrote the music.

Since 2020, I’ve received over a thousand complaints about President Elect Trump’s use of Y.M.C.A. With that many complaints, I decided to ask the President Elect to stop using Y.M.C.A. because his use had become a nuisance to me.

However, the use continued because the Trump campaign knew they had obtained a political use license from BMI and absent that license being terminated, they had every right to continue using Y.M.C.A. And they did.

In fact, I started noticing numerous artists withdrawing the President Elect’s use of their material. But by the time I said to my wife one day, Hey, Trump seems to genuinely like Y.M.C.A. and he’s having a lot of fun with it.

The Phoenix Exultant Ep. 36: Transit to Mercury

Posted December 4, 2024 By John C Wright

From THE PHOENIX EXULTANT, vol. II of my debut trilogy.

In the far future, where men are as gods, living lives of perfect peace and prosperity, Phaethon of Rhadamanthus discovers all memory of his lifework has been hidden from him. For he is the engineer of the sole starship his civilization has ever produced: the mighty, majestic, and immense Phoenix Exultant. She is a ship to conquer the stars.

But such ambition is outlawed in utopia. Phaethon is a pariah, exiled mentally and physically, denuded of possessions, and cast down among outcasts. His life is sought by sinister agents of the Silent Oecumene: an apocalyptic menace none but he dares see. For in a world where mind or memory can be edited at will, what is truth?

Epistles to Ansgar: Letter 08 God and Design

Posted December 3, 2024 By John C Wright

2 December AD 2024,
First Sunday in Advent

Dear Godson,

Today is the onset of Advent, the season of penitential waiting, filled with sorrow for our sins but overfilled with joyful hope in the coming of the Lord.

We have lit the first candle of the Advent wreath, named the prophecy candle and which stands for hope. So it behooves us to stand ready to answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you.

The main criticism by atheists is that our hope in based on faith, that all faith in supernatural things is blind faith, merely a misplaced trust in tale too fantastic and silly to be true, like belief in the Tooth Fairy, or in UFOs.

In a prior letter, we have seen that faith is a cure for undue doubt, for irrational doubt.

We have seen that faith is not merely a mood or sentiment where one treats something as certain which the reason says is uncertain: faith is an act of the will to put aside doubts the reason says are doubtful doubts, irrational doubts, night-terrors or childish fears, or, in the case of the atheist, and irrational argument against the self-evident prompted by pride, or some other human weakness.

Faith is sticking to your guns once you have already been convinced by reason and experience.

Reasonable doubts can be answered with reason.

A World without Dogwhistles

Posted November 30, 2024 By John C Wright
I was trying to tell my children what it was like to live in a society where no one, and I mean NO ONE, noticed, mentioned, or applauded or condemned a man based on his skin color. We did not notice it any more than we noticed hair color.
 
The only “racism” in those days was as mild and milquetoast as “dumb blonde” jokes, or the stereotype that redheads were hot-tempered.

Phalanxes of Fourier

Posted November 29, 2024 By John C Wright

A reader with the Edwardian but yummy name of Ed Pie asks why so many of the utopian communities founded in antebellum America were called “Phalanxes.”

The term comes from an early socialist writer Charles Fourier.

He envisioned a world organized into thousand-man work cooperatives called Phalanxes housed in uniform dormitories called Phalansteres.

Historic Failures of Applied Socialism (Excerpt)

Posted November 29, 2024 By John C Wright

Apropos of our Thanksgiving column recounting the failure of the Mayflower pilgrims to enact the vain conceit of Plato to hold all property in common, we may eye this partial list of similar failures, and note not a single corresponding counterexample anywhere in all the annals of any tribe, tongue, people or nation. 

The text below is quoted from Historic Failures in Applied Socialism by Hon. Daniel J. Ryan (1921). 

The words below are his

  • A Catalogue of Failures

Over fifty years ago, John Humphrey Noyes, the founder of The Oneida Community, wrote a History of American Socialisms from which I have excerpted freely the facts that follow. Says he, “Though they may be faulty in some details, we are confident that the general idea they give of the attempts and experiences of American Socialists, will not be far from the truth.”

He gives the experiments of the Owen epoch as follows:

  1. Blue Spring Community; Indiana; no particulars, except that it lasted “but a short time. “
  2. Co-operative Society; Pennsylvania; no particulars.
  3. Coxsackie Community; New York; capital “small”; “very much in debt”; duration between one and two years.
  4. Forrestville Community; Indiana; “over 60 members”; 325 acres of land; duration more than a year.
  5. Franklin Community; New York; no particulars.
  6. Haverstraw Community; New York; about 80 members; 120 acres; debt $ 12,000; duration five months.
  7. Kendal Community; Ohio; 200 members; 200 acres; duration about two years.
  8. New Harmony; Indiana; 900 members; 30,000 acres, worth $ 150,000; duration nearly three years.
  9. Nashoba, Tennessee; 15 members; 2,000 acres; duration about three years.
  10. Yellow Springs Community; Ohio; 75 to 100 families; duration three months.

Tunnel of Death in the London Underground

Posted November 29, 2024 By John C Wright

This is something directly from a Robert W Chambers horror story starring the King in Yellow, penned in the Victorian Era. He predicted the suicide booth.

In the following winter began that agitation for the repeal of the laws prohibiting suicide which bore its final fruit in the month of April, 1920, when the first Government Lethal Chamber was opened on Washington Square.

Thanksgiving: The Vanity of Plato’s Conceit

Posted November 28, 2024 By John C Wright

As a public service, we reprint this column for any readers who may have missed it.

——————————————

For this Thanksgiving, let us give thanks for the lesson learned by the Pilgrims in the first harsh years of their colony.

The real history of the Mayflower Pilgrims was recounted by their leader, William Bradford, in his book Of Plymouth Plantation (1647).

The words below are his, where he explains how, at first the colonists attempted to hold all property in common:

Not Tired of Winning Yet CLXXX

Posted November 26, 2024 By John C Wright

I list this as a Trump victory, as this social change would not have happened, or perhaps could not have been allowed, were the New World Order Deathcult power not now in retreat.

The following major companies have retracted or disbanded their DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) political officers.

Political officers govern hiring, promotion, and disciplinary actions based solely on political considerations, related to social engineering theory, not based on the economical viability of the company, nor its mission to serve stockholders by making profits, nor its mission to make sales by serving customers.

In this case, DEI is a branch of Cultural Marxism directing its energies toward anti-white race-hatred, anti-man sexual discrimination, Sodomy, Pederasty, and the promotion of autogynophiliac fetishists. (A disturbing number of mass murderers are obsessed with sexual fantasies of being or becoming the opposite sex, including the Unibomber, School shooter Aiden Hale, and more.)

Here is a partial list.

Mi-Go Journalism

Posted November 26, 2024 By John C Wright
I could not watch the whole clip, despite it being less than a minute. I choked on the falsehoods, and my vision swam with indignation.
 
I used to work in journalism, first as a newspaperman, then as an editor. I can solemnly assure you from the bottom of my heart that this creature is lying, and everything he says is a lie.
 
I call him a creature because he has foresworn his humanity. I suspect he is a lizard-being from Alpha Draconis, or Mi-Go, merely wearing a human mask of clever waxworks, with prosthetic appliances to mimic human hands or voice.

Not Tired of Winning Yet CLXXIX

Posted November 25, 2024 By John C Wright

The news outlets are reporting that Judge Tanya Chutkan has granted the government’s motion to dismiss the case against President Donald Trump.

It may be hard to keep the various fake lawfare cases apart.

This was the one where the illegally appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith unconstitutionally indicted Trump for events surrounding January Sixth, and all attempts to stop the steal.

Trump’s actions, attempting to halt and investigate a federal crime, were clearly within his scope of office as president, and therefore immune from prosecution.

The Supreme Court had to intercede on the proceedings of the kangaroo court to remind them of this rule, which anyone passing high-school civics class already knew.

However, no one passing a high-school civics class can be a Dem operative, and no one not a Dem operative can be a Operation Mockingbird asset in the Fake News, hence the Minitru Media portrayed this immunity ruling as if it were a dangerous novelty rendering the president above the law, allowing him to gun down passersby at will: the pundits and media anchormen proceeded to shriek, and gibber, and vomit pea-soup, and rotate their heads like owls on national television, gnawing and clawing and cutting their own flesh and calling on Baal in their unholy phrenzy. A disturbing number of plump blue-haired cat ladies believed this blither, or pretended too, and joined in the hysterical antics, frothing and falling and writhing underfoot like rabid howler monkeys.

The indictments also charged Trump for actions which, under the Constitution, any US Citizen has a right to do, such as assemble lawfully in a public place, and petition the government for the redress of grievances.  This includes speaking at a rally to encourage the public to protest a stolen election, and to ask certification be delayed until after an investigation and audit.

In this case, on January 6th, the FBI agents and Antifas staged a riot during the peaceful rally asking for this investigation and audit into the insolently fraudulent theft of the 2020 election. Without provocation, police opened fire on the innocent crowd with rubber bullets and tear gas at one point, while other officers invited protestors into the Capitol building. One rally-goer, a female veteran, was shot from behind without warning, murdered in cold blood on national television.

Unable to invent a plausible reason to try President Trump, but confident his abuse of office would never be meaningfully punished, the bogus charges invented by Jack Smith included  conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

The obstruction charges, if I understand the nuance of the law here, involve a statute dealing with the destruction of evidence under subpoena, that, is, shredding documents or bleaching computer records in order to hinder an investigation. It has nothing to do with making a speech outside of a public building to a crowd objecting to unlawful government actions.

The action for fraud is based on a phone call Trump made to a state governor, asking him to take steps to recover ballots that went suddenly missing from the count. This is not only unlawful, it is the duty of the Executive Branch to see to it that the laws of the United States are faithfully carried out, and this include election laws that penalize felonious destruction of untallied ballots.

Neither these, nor the other counts, make the slightest lick of sense, or have anything to do with any events that actually happened in the real world.

The case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning it could be refiled after Trump leaves office.

But in the meantime, the false pretense is dropped, the lawfare no longer useful, and the persecution has been put on hold. The drama now moved to the question of whether and how Trump can wreck justice on this abuse of process, and send them to jail, without the media successfully provoking more assassins to make more attempts the President’s life.

Remember that the media is a deadly enemy of the people, of our freedoms, and of civilization itself.

Epistles to Ansgar: Letter 07 Salvation   

Posted November 25, 2024 By John C Wright

24 November AD 2024,
Solemnity of Christ, King of the Universe

Dear Godson,

Today is the last day of the Liturgical Calendar, which differs from the Gregorian Calendar used by the world. This worldly calendar, as is fitting, begins and ends in the fortnight of the Winter Solstice, when, daylight hours cease to dwindle, light returns, and longer days begin again. But the Liturgical Calendar takes Christ as our Sun, and so we begin the year with the advent of his birth, and end with his triumphant Second Coming.

Today is a celebration of Doomsday. This Doomsday is the celebration of our salvation, and our resurrection, and of the salvation of the world, and the renewal of the world.

What is salvation?

From what are we being saved?

The word “Doomsday” has a dreadful sound to modern ears, but originally the “doom” proclaimed by a king included indeed the downfalls and punishments owed to the disloyal and wicked, but also the promotions and rewards owed to the loyal and righteous.

Cultural Appropriation

Posted November 24, 2024 By John C Wright

Fabian Socialists, including the famed H.G. Wells, after observing the horrors and failed utopian promises of the Soviet revolution, urged a peaceful means of persuading the free world to surrender its freedom.

In his book THE OPEN CONSPIRACY (1928) Wells proposes the propaganda of the socialists convince all men that all resources be communally owned, including the open seas, the wildlife, and any natural resources.

Behind his prose lurks the idea that act of using resources, any resources used for any reason, was sinful, shameful, and must be curtailed.

The writings of Malthus, warning that population should not be allowed to expand beyond the rate at which arable land was brought under cultivation, lest war or starvation be the only means to restrict the population to the available resources.

This is a perennial error of the socialist, and no amount of counterevidence nor argument can cure it. Hatred of population growth is based in hatred of people.
