It's All Great Until You Get Shot

There you are, living the dream, the dream of being a Marxist revolutionary fighting to break the chains of oppression and defeat the Man. It's just like 1917 but in Austin 2020, and you've got a semi-auto AK, which is kinda Russian or maybe Viet Cong, and a facemask and everything. 

What. A. LARP. Hey, I'm not a cosplay Furry, I'm a Saturday night Marxist Revolutionary. Problem is, you start to believe the Live Action Role Play game you're acting out and, when a car crosses your Red Guard Roadblock you spring into action, you're in role. No Paseran, my friend.

Austin Commie Shot Dead

So you put 5 rounds through the imperialist pig's car, Ho Chi Minh style. Boom, take that, colonialist oppressor. But you miss, because you're not really a Red Guard or a member of the Durutti Column, you're just some guy having an Anarcho-Commie LARP.

At which point, the driver of the car winds down his window and shoots you. Stone cold dead. Then it's not a LARP, it's deadly serious, irretrievably.

You Selfish Fool

This may not be a popular POV with the few people who click through this shallow mind blog on the way to better things, but I feel sorry for Garrett Foster. It was all fun and games for him before it totally wasn't; things should never have gotten as out of hand as they did. And there's the real crime.

That the authorities in Austin would allow people to set up de facto road blocks, like what?!? and wander about with guns in a bizarre role playing exercise is inexcusable, more than that, it's a revolting, vote grabbing scandal. Net result? Some idiot got himself shot and now he's dead. Game over.

What would you have done if Garrett had fired into your vehicle? I'd have shot him too. Austin Democrats, you have blood on your hands.

ENDEX.

See TGP for updates on this latest leftist idiocy. Garrett threatened the vehicle with his AK, the driver shot him dead and drove off as several LARPers  returned fire. 

Some Kind of Pathetic Zimbabwe Wakanda Joke?

The black revolutionary Marxist militia, NFAC, turned up in Louisville. They had lots of guns because they're revolutionaries who're going to "burn the system down" if they don't get their way.

 C'mon, go home, a larp's a larp

Yeah. Then one of the cosplay comrades shot himself and some of his buddies in a fit of Zimbabwean cultural appropriation. Coz it's all a larp till you shoot your friend's shin off.

Yum!

Blacks make up around 13% of the US population. They account for over 50% of the nation's crime and 85% of violent crime. As one person in Detroit put it, "They're a race unique to America," and Zimbabwe Wakanda.

VIVAT!

I'm no fan of the Corsican Upstart, but I do like this. Such power and majesty. Note, if you have the time and inclination, the similarity between this coronation and HRH Elizabeth II's. 

It's a similar thing at both events, see Josephine's Ladies, though vastly stylized by the 20th century. And, of course, Bonaparte crowns himself in an act of Promethean pride. Which is different.

Imagine the late Medieval equivalent and then, mind power permitting, understand the spirit of the remarkable people who found and conquered the New World.

Bat Coin - Some Kind of Sick Joke?

Thanks to MP, I know this new coin honors Samoa, or would that be somewhere else, somewhere with wet markets, biolabs and bats? 

Good CCP question, eh? But seriously, will someone please follow the Bat Bug/Mask money and see who's coining it inside the Beltway and elsewhere? Not least regards these stupid bat flu masks, which we all have to wear because, errr, if you don't wear one someone won't get even richer than they already are.

This rampant, voracious, corrupt, lying malfeasance needs to be exposed and brought to justice. I know, good luck with that.

Still, thanks in advance. We can but hope.

Utter Total Disaster

 

What started off as a pleasant trip to Dallas for a late birthday celebration turned into unmitigated disaster. Sure, it began well, easy traffic for the most part, enormous steaks, convivial company. All well and good.

Useless

Then, after everyone had gone to bed, it seemed like a good experiment to pour a glass of claret on the technology. Give it a go, see how it works, no rule. Maybe it'll even help your machine. 

Rubbish

It didn't in my case, the recently upgraded if ancient ASUS started to smoke when the power was on. Huh. Fail. So I drove back to the Compound, got the Blue in situ, then drove to Waco for another machine. 

I won't lie, it was weird to see masked paranoia in full force and I hated it, but there was a gently used laptop at one of the few remaining "Best" Buys and I took it home.

Excelsior!

The sleek little beast's sitting here now, backlit keyboard and everything. Ma LSP says, "That was an expensive glass of wine." I won't enlarge further.

Fall To!

Back up your data if you have any worth keeping. And oh, while you're at it, crush the NWO underfoot.

Cardinal Vigano is a Hero

Churches burn, Hagia Sophia's turned back into a mosque and a corporate-sponsored gang of Marxists works overtime to destroy the West in general and America in particular. Where's the voice of our spiritual leaders in this? There isn't one, they're silent or busy apologizing for "white supremacy" while the Pope kowtows to Communist China. But there is an exception, Cardinal Vigano.

Per Adrienne, I think it's worth posting his open letter to the President in full:

Mr. President,

            In recent months we have been witnessing the formation of two opposing sides that I would call Biblical: the children of light and the children of darkness. The children of light constitute the most conspicuous part of humanity, while the children of darkness represent an absolute minority. And yet the former are the object of a sort of discrimination which places them in a situation of moral inferiority with respect to their adversaries, who often hold strategic positions in government, in politics, in the economy and in the media. In an apparently inexplicable way, the good are held hostage by the wicked and by those who help them either out of self-interest or fearfulness.

            These two sides, which have a Biblical nature, follow the clear separation between the offspring of the Woman and the offspring of the Serpent. On the one hand there are those who, although they have a thousand defects and weaknesses, are motivated by the desire to do good, to be honest, to raise a family, to engage in work, to give prosperity to their homeland, to help the needy, and, in obedience to the Law of God, to merit the Kingdom of Heaven. On the other hand, there are those who serve themselves, who do not hold any moral principles, who want to demolish the family and the nation, exploit workers to make themselves unduly wealthy, foment internal divisions and wars, and accumulate power and money: for them the fallacious illusion of temporal well-being will one day – if they do not repent – yield to the terrible fate that awaits them, far from God, in eternal damnation.

            In society, Mr. President, these two opposing realities co-exist as eternal enemies, just as God and Satan are eternal enemies. And it appears that the children of darkness – whom we may easily identify with the deep state which you wisely oppose and which is fiercely waging war against you in these days – have decided to show their cards, so to speak, by now revealing their plans. They seem to be so certain of already having everything under control that they have laid aside that circumspection that until now had at least partially concealed their true intentions. The investigations already under way will reveal the true responsibility of those who managed the Covid emergency not only in the area of health care but also in politics, the economy, and the media. We will probably find that in this colossal operation of social engineering there are people who have decided the fate of humanity, arrogating to themselves the right to act against the will of citizens and their representatives in the governments of nations.

            We will also discover that the riots in these days were provoked by those who, seeing that the virus is inevitably fading and that the social alarm of the pandemic is waning, necessarily have had to provoke civil disturbances, because they would be followed by repression which, although legitimate, could be condemned as an unjustified aggression against the population. The same thing is also happening in Europe, in perfect synchrony. It is quite clear that the use of street protests is instrumental to the purposes of those who would like to see someone elected in the upcoming presidential elections who embodies the goals of the deep state and who expresses those goals faithfully and with conviction. It will not be surprising if, in a few months, we learn once again that hidden behind these acts of vandalism and violence there are those who hope to profit from the dissolution of the social order so as to build a world without freedom: Solve et Coagula, as the Masonic adage teaches.

            Although it may seem disconcerting, the opposing alignments I have described are also found in religious circles. There are faithful Shepherds who care for the flock of Christ, but there are also mercenary infidels who seek to scatter the flock and hand the sheep over to be devoured by ravenous wolves. It is not surprising that these mercenaries are allies of the children of darkness and hate the children of light: just as there is a deep state, there is also a deep church that betrays its duties and forswears its proper commitments before God. Thus the Invisible Enemy, whom good rulers fight against in public affairs, is also fought against by good shepherds in the ecclesiastical sphere. It is a spiritual battle, which I spoke about in my recent Appeal which was published on May 8.

            For the first time, the United States has in you a President who courageously defends the right to life, who is not ashamed to denounce the persecution of Christians throughout the world, who speaks of Jesus Christ and the right of citizens to freedom of worship. Your participation in the March for Life, and more recently your proclamation of the month of April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month, are actions that confirm which side you wish to fight on. And I dare to believe that both of us are on the same side in this battle, albeit with different weapons.

            For this reason, I believe that the attack to which you were subjected after your visit to the National Shrine of Saint John Paul II is part of the orchestrated media narrative which seeks not to fight racism and bring social order, but to aggravate dispositions; not to bring justice, but to legitimize violence and crime; not to serve the truth, but to favor one political faction. And it is disconcerting that there are Bishops – such as those whom I recently denounced – who, by their words, prove that they are aligned on the opposing side. They are subservient to the deep state, to globalism, to aligned thought, to the New World Order which they invoke ever more frequently in the name of a universal brotherhood which has nothing Christian about it, but which evokes the Masonic ideals of those want to dominate the world by driving God out of the courts, out of schools, out of families, and perhaps even out of churches.

            The American people are mature and have now understood how much the mainstream media does not want to spread the truth but seeks to silence and distort it, spreading the lie that is useful for the purposes of their masters. However, it is important that the good – who are the majority – wake up from their sluggishness and do not accept being deceived by a minority of dishonest people with unavowable purposes. It is necessary that the good, the children of light, come together and make their voices heard. What more effective way is there to do this, Mr. President, than by prayer, asking the Lord to protect you, the United States, and all of humanity from this enormous attack of the Enemy? Before the power of prayer, the deceptions of the children of darkness will collapse, their plots will be revealed, their betrayal will be shown, their frightening power will end in nothing, brought to light and exposed for what it is: an infernal deception.

            Mr. President, my prayer is constantly turned to the beloved American nation, where I had the privilege and honor of being sent by Pope Benedict XVI as Apostolic Nuncio. In this dramatic and decisive hour for all of humanity, I am praying for you and also for all those who are at your side in the government of the United States. I trust that the American people are united with me and you in prayer to Almighty God.

            United against the Invisible Enemy of all humanity, I bless you and the First Lady, the beloved American nation, and all men and women of good will.

Decisions, Decisions

Sure, you can sit in front of a screen in slack-jawed consternation as churches burn, statues of Christ and saints are vandalized, and a corporate-sponsored Marxist putsch plays out in Democrat run  cities, or you can go fishing. Such is free will, it entails choice. I chose to go fishing.

For Every Lure You Buy You Have to Get Rid of Three

Nothing fancy, just a marina on Lake Whitney, and it's not even hard. All you need's a rig, Texas, a couple of rods, some bait and a day pack full of lures, hooks, weights, knives, descalers, water, bobbers and all of that. I tell you, if you're not careful that "day pack" will turn into a full-scale bergen (ruck) as if it were some kind of bloated government agency. Choose to avoid that fate.

A Bird

That in mind, I strolled down the pier to the cleaning station, admiring the big hot sky, the surround-sound of cicadas, and the exciting prospect of fish. Would they choose to bite, would the small cooler full of frozen shad, perch and fresh worms entice them onto the hook? Only time would tell.

Beat The Black Drum

And it did, in the triple digit noonday sun. Long story short, the fish had heatstroke and were cooling off in deeper waters, so the going was slow. Still, I reeled in a couple of 'gills and a decent little drum, enough catching, just, to vindicate the expedition and then something tugged on the line; a soupy, lazy, sluggish tug, as if the fish was half-asleep. 

What's This? A Snag, Annoyingly

Huh. Quick experimental hookset and... KABOOM. Rod double, line out, diving, pulling, running action. What is this? A monster bass, a mega cat, a shark? No, none of those things. Some five minutes later it was a huge Buffalo (carp but not a carp), a huge fish on a light rod, big fun.

When the enormous beast finally tired of fighting the ancient mariner and came to the surface, I marveled at the prehistoric set of the thing. Large, jurassic, glistening scales and the sheer immensity of the watery beast, perhaps the largest fish I've ever caught. Then, just as I was hauling it onto the dock for a photo op, the line broke above the hook and Leviathan returned to the depths.

Well done fish, well done fisherman. And with that it was time to head back to the Compound. 

Choose wisely, my friends.

Fish on,

Person of Color?

Superstar Hollywood celebrity activist Alyssa Milano is under fire on social media for making herself up in "blackface." Here's a close up.

World famous for her role as a cute teen witch in the smash hit series Charmed, Milano claims she didn't intend to denigrate and demean people of color, just a rival star, Snookie.

As a prominent Millionaire Socialist with an estimated net worth of $10 million, Alyssa Milano was quick to put the blame on Russia's leader Vladimir Putin. "Cancel culture," asserted the rich socialist on social media, "is being weaponized by the right/Putin."

As the sinister head of Spectre and Kaos, Putin's reach is notoriously long. But really, Alyssa, were you high? In other news, Nantes' 15th century cathedral was set on fire yesterday. More on that crime and the ongoing attack on the Church later.

In the meanwhile, will the Left be destroyed in a fire of their own making? Don't Say Russian Revolution.

The Space Alien Threat

Are extraterrestrials real and are they visiting the earth? Statistics show an increasing number of Americans believe they are. 

According to the the National UFO Reporting Center there were 6,340 UFO sightings nationwide in 2019, nearly double the 3,456 sightings in 2018. This trend continued in 2020, with the first three months of the year showing a 112% increase in sightings over the same period in 2019.

The upsurge in sightings follows recently released US Navy footage, showing unknown gravity defying craft moving at incredible speeds. This has prompted some experts to warn of an impending alien invasion.

“If real-life aliens are regarding this Earth with envious eyes, and are drawing up plans, what are our plans to deal with them? The short answer is that there aren’t any," stated renowned UK Ufologist, Nick Pope, who added, "If it came to a real-life War of the Worlds, there’s no alien invasion war plan – we’ll just have to wing it."

Are creatures from another time, dimension, galaxy or star system visiting the earth with "envious eyes"? Possibly, but here at the Compound we believe they're here already.

You have been warned.

I Fought The Law

Just kidding. I didn't fight the Law at all but dutifully went to get the rig tested and registered. This meant driving to the "shop" and discovering you have to wear a weird mask, like a robber, to get in the door. So I did, being a law-abiding citizen of the great Republic of Texas.

The Shop

They're a good crew at the "shop" and only charged $7 for the inspection, it didn't even take long. Thanks, guys, appreciate it. Next stop? The Court House, because that's where you register your vehicle.

Fortress

In the old days, people were less lawful in this part of the world and the imposing edifice to Justice still has metal shutters in place for fear of banditry, mayhem and insurrection. Like a fort, which in a way it was and might be again if the going gets weird. See Portland.

All Hail Texas

Of course I'd be happier if it was a collegiate church in a pleasant plaza with fountains, cafes, statues of saints and Confederate generals but there it is. The place burned down a little while ago and Willie Nelson helped to rebuild it, before he degenerated into a completely useless old hippy.

Willie aside, the Courthouse has gone full COVID. A pleasant young policeman asked if I had any symptoms of the Red Death, then took my temperature with a handheld machine which was doubtless made in China. 

Huh

I wished him a muffled joy of the day through my annoying and stupid mask and offered an informal salute. Defend the Police, Thin Blue Line. 

And then it was wait in line because the Kung Flu says only two people at a time are allowed in the registration office. Still, it wasn't too bad. A couple of veterans noticed each others' hat insignia in the queue.

"You served with the...?!?"

"What?!?"

"You served with..."

"Jets. Jet engines all day every day!"

"Can't hear you. What!"

A Rig

Good men, respect, and all too soon the line was at an end and I was forking over $75 for the white privilege of being road legal. Where does this money go? To the police and army of Texas, I hope.

Remember the Alamo,
