This is Emily Kohrs, the NewAge Jury Foreman for Trump's Georgia indictment. She doesn't look like much, but she is a reminder, even waifs are a mixture of good and evil: no different than the Nazis. If that seems like an extreme turn to take, I'll remind you it's one of the main lessons of World War II: humans accept what's not true (usually without challenge). They ignore or dismiss evidence, many times for mysticism. They're weak to dogma, mythology, and propaganda. And they act on what beliefs they form from terrible sources. Myself included. So, it's not a stretch for me to picture this young lady like this.
As someone who doesn't fit the ideal they purport to represent, but appreciates New Thought, Madame Blavatsky, and studying all the world's belief systems, and maybe even creating something of their own for today. A power in a fallen land, now under the influence of the NewAge movement, becoming so unethical, and so illogical, other citizens are rendered immobile. We feel little need to comment on it. We feel little need to do anything. Why demand anything of evil people who don't understand the concept of Do The Right Thing? They've already got what they wanted, as no one's punishing them for anything, and that's all that matters (to them) so there's nothing to be gained from wasting words. Especially when we'll be dead soon enough, anyway. Let them have what they've created. We know where this leads.
Putting distance between us, and allowing the fanatics as little opportunity to get near as possible, seems to be the only way to live out our later years, that are now, solitary, brutish, and - despite few trusting science anymore -longer than expected.
An extension to this, so someone can exploit and abuse us - holistically - what a concept.
Why don't conservative white guys act like the white guys who get along with everybody? Conservative white guys are always telling everyone else to act like them, because they've been successful (leaving out all the historical advantages everyone knows American society boosted them with) so why don't they listen to anybody white who's being successful at getting along with others? Where's the conservative Bill Burr Fan Club? Blacks seem to love him. So what's the conservative's problem?
How did Louis CK get so enlightened on racial issues, when conservative white guys seem to have huge problems? How is he so gracious, while they're so viciously hostile? Is it because he's part Jewish? Part Mexican? Or is he just a better class of person than they are?
White conservative guys often think they have to come across hardcore, and racial differences can't be mentioned, because they're "colorblind" - which is the opposite of what black people want from them. We prefer they be decent people who can make intelligent observations about the collective situation we're in.
I don't get that watching Fox News.
Tim Gaither loves black people. Announces it. You don't see that very often. Love's not a sentiment I hear from conservative white guys. They usually want to know something that'll start a fight, like why black people don't live their lives according to one line in Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech. (Hint: Martin Luther King made more speeches than that.)
White guys who can handle black people, without getting upset, are unique and deserve to be emulated. The ones who know the difference between a real criticism and just some "woke" bullshit. They're cherished. But that is NOT most conservatives. Conservatives think there is no real criticism. And that, all by itself, is a problem.
Because racism, past and present, is real. And effects us all, whether we realize how or not.
Slavery lasted roughly 250 years, with Jim Crow going for another hundred. And now we're here. Or, as Louis CK says, slavery ended after two old ladies lived and died. That's not very long ago. So, if you don't have some, almost collective memory of all of that coursing through your bones, somehow or in someway, then I don't know what kind of American you are.
As they read this, I'm sure there are many people who forget Quakers and abolitionists were white people who were always vehemently against slavery and the oppression of blacks. Are you going to tell me there's no one else carrying on that tradition today? Or deny their numbers have always been small?
That's America.
Their numbers have always been small. So the "majority" as a concept is what it's all about. And all I'm saying is some white people handle being the majority more gracefully, today, than others. And they're not the Republicans demanding blacks leave the Democrat party. I ended up going Independent, and a Trump supporter, because I just couldn't take Republicans anymore.
And white conservative dudes ought to take note, because it is to today's abolitionists - not the Greg Gutfeld's trying to tell us we're wrong - that I am eternally grateful for. Because - really - without the rest, black people like me would probably go crazy.
TMR has always been on top of the NewAge movement, and the fraud that's emerged from it. At this point, it feels like that is the true business of the world: deceiving one another. How is it only now - 18 years after this blog began - that someone else admits we see cults "a lot nowadays: in the arts; politics, obviously; even in banks, for God’s sake. People rush to reinforce warped thought systems,..."? And, if they haven't been saying that, previously, what have they been saying, and why?
Holding up Dr. King's dream, to negate the fullness of the American dream that Dr. King wanted for black people’s lives, is a fraud. And, it’s a known fraud, as surely as homeopathic concoctions sit on pharmacy shelves. As surely as Hunter Biden was selling more than the mere “illusion of access”. As surely as Bill Clinton raped three women. Like the NewAge movement says, “It’s all connected.”. And it's obvious as Hell.
So a nation of suckers is rising, on the left and right, and expects blacks to get in-line. I know, it can be shocking to hear of anyone who doesn't buy into the bullshit everyone else has been celebrating, but TMR has always been about that. In 2000, I recorded a song about how I didn't want to go along with the tech industry, but today they're still trying to make me love Steve Jobs, after the music industry I loved has been warped in a way that, today, music consumes hardly a fraction of our lives, and has even less influence on our lives, than anyone ever imagined for America - formally the worlds leading purveyor of the world's culture.
At some point, conservatives must not merely stop, but roll back what’s been started, to preserve what we have. That first requires being willing to honestly look at what’s been done. The Democrats haven't proven they're willing to do it. Especially since Donald Trump has been on the scene. But, really, since Harvey Milk was killed. Look at that photo, above, and tell me Kamala is not either too cynical or too gullible to hold power.
Their demand is we either live and die as liars and fools, as they do - willingly - to feel safe. But I don’t think that's gonna happen. Why?
Americans don't trade freedom for safety: not everyone fell for Nazi fascism's okey-doke the first time, and blacks won't, for the NewAge flavor, either, whether the Kool-Aid''s ladled-out by the GOP, or Oprah Winfrey. This is NOT the People's Temple.
Because I think so highly of Victor Davis Hanson's radical review, the Second World Wars are probably as good a place to start this, as any. Plus, it was our battle against fascism, with its inherit racism and antisemitism, that revealed the hypocritical position America’s in, now.
Black soldiers came back from the war, knowing America didn't really mean anything it fought for, igniting the Civil Rights movement. This brings us to the era of Martin Luther King, Jr..
Whites tend to focus on King’s 1963 “I Have A Dream” speech, dissecting it from the man, the rest of what he said and stood for, or the hardening attitudes, held at the time, that prompted King to have to make the speech. By the time he was killed, in 1968, polling amongst whites had him in the low 30s. Hardly a devoted following.
Blacks tend to take a more nuanced position, because the man wasn't finished with his work when he was murdered. But whites don't seem to want to focus on anything but that speech, for instance, ignoring, dismissing, or being outright hostile to King’s call for reparations.
This is an American betrayal, to blacks, who believed in the entirety of King’s dream - and the claim that white’s did, too. The question for blacks then became “What do we do with this?”
Betrayals tend to make people go crazy. If the rules don't apply to some, they don't apply to others. We're seeing how the rules haven’t applied, now, with Hunter Biden. And the fact, his father threw more blacks in prison than any other politician, really makes the point sting.
For over 150 years, my nation lied to me about slavery - purely for reasons of race - while lying and claiming it was solving the problem. Now that blacks have gone crazy over race issues - whites have been lying about for centuries - they blame blacks for that, too. But they're not racists, and there's no racism, here. OK.
My nation has always known MLK was just another low-life rapist preacher, but still lied to me, and taught me to worship him as a saint, anyway (I have no idea why MLK is dead now - cheating spouses?)
The Democrat Party has a long history of stealing elections, and lying to me - that they're lying about - they even sold that murderous homosexual creep, Harvey Milk, as a saint. To your children. After he helped get a child killed by Jim Jones and the People's Temple. Buying that lie - and defending it - is the definition of what it means to be a "progressive".
My nation has just let the Democrats lie their way to power over a President - President Trump - and now acts like everyone who knows 100% what kind of "Russian Collusion" Fantasyland they just lived through for the last four years, like me, is crazy. Somehow, none of this deceit is punishable in America, anymore.
The Democrat Party - with it's history of sexual abuse starting in slavery - could give a damn about lying to me, the truth, or correcting (or enforcing) either. They want POWER - for themselves. Otherwise, they would've helped those FOUR (4) loyal Democrat women screaming, "Bill Clinton raped me!" a long time ago. They've been The Democrat Party's most obvious political sacrifice, of my life.
My nation's led by Democrats - the party of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow, and NewAge - they're happiest when making me live with their constant lying.
They've wanted my generation to honor deceit - and appear to have succeeded - far, far beyond their wildest dreams, just by putting two house niggas out front.
But, despite NewAge Naziism's success - selling deceit - it just can't work on me.
As I was reading The Conservative Case Against The Boomers - and realized half of those covered in the article were religious charlatans - the question arose in my mind:
Martin Luther King, Jr. had a good run. He was one of the luckiest low-life religious hustlers out there, in that the times offered him opportunity, and he took them - and took them too far:
"The most damaging memos describe King witnessing a rape in a hotel room. Instead of stopping it, handwritten notes in the file say he encouraged the attacker,...King may have fathered a daughter with a girlfriend who is still alive in Los Angeles. The memos also detail the closeness of his relationship with Dorothy Cotton, a longtime associate of King’s...It appears that the two were romantically involved....Sen.Georgia Davis Powers recounted her intimate relationship with King in her book “I Shared the Dream.”
...King and 11 others participated in “an orgy” on Jan. 6, 1964....[Baltimore Pastor Logan Kearse] sexually assaulted one of his parishioners...King laughed. Worse, instead of trying to stop the incident, King offered advice to the perpetrator, encouraging the abuse."
And - let's not forget - King's wife, Coretta, died outside a quack doctor's office. But, how can we forget that - or use it as a cautionary tale to protect others - when it's hardly ever mentioned, lost amongst the rush for Oprah, or Gwyneth, or some other NewAge airhead, to sell YOU some quackery, today?
Oh, United States of America, did you always have to be just another lie waiting to happen? And did you have to always call those lies a "dream"?
I will bet everything I own, The Washington Post will NOT run an article on Inauguration Day - explaining ways to impeachPresident Biden - the way they did to President Trump.
If anyone thinks such things will soon be forgotten - or forgiven - you, too, "have a dream" we will NOT be reaching, anytime soon.
Since whites are so smart they can't figure out blacks are human beings, it's perfectly normal in 2015 (for whites) to still be arguing over us - while killing us, and exploiting us, and teasing us, and,...
It'll probably take a few more years for them to work past their previous deceptions and ask why they've engaged in them, since - along with their fear of the Right's racism being exposed - they're so determined to only "look to the future and not to the past,..."
Bayard Rustin, the Civil Rights Movement's very-gay Chief Strategist, and MLK
Wow: Sarah Palin's ignorant ramblings about how "our original civil rights freedom fighters are rolling in their graves over the backward steps we’ve taken lately" have probably turned out to be true, now that Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and the Duggars reportedly got together to sign a Rick Scarborough petition - advocating anti-gay discrimination"in the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King."How that works (in the minds of Palin and/or the rest) is anybody's guess, but I do know what exists as a conservative affliction: Those representing King's opposition - in contemporary times - imagining, and proclaiming, he'd be on their side.
Look, lying's in the Right's blood. It's left over from slavery. It's how they rationalized the horrors they were committing to themselves. And they still need justifications for what they do today - though they don't have niggas.
Don't be surprised if they all start claiming they're black soon,...
