56 Shot, 11 Killed, During Weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Chicago

 56 Shot, 11 Killed, During Weekend in Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Chicago (breitbart.com)

"Six people were shot in one incident late Saturday 'in the 5000-block of West Ohio Street.' The individuals were standing outside a location where a party had been held when someone inside an SUV opened fire on them. One of the wounded was a 12-year-old girl.

"Another one of the wounded was a 15-year-old girl."

The American Descent into Madness

America went from the freest country in the world in December 2019 to a repressive and frightening place by July 2021. How did that happen?

By Victor Davis Hanson

The American Descent into Madness › American Greatness (amgreatness.com)

"Nations have often gone mad in a matter of months. The French abandoned their supposedly idealistic revolutionary project and turned it into a monstrous hell for a year between July 1793 and 1794. After the election of November 1860, in a matter of weeks, Americans went from thinking secession was taboo to visions of killing the greatest number of their fellow citizens on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line. Mao’s China went from a failed communist state to the ninth circle of Dante’s Inferno, when he unleashed the Cultural Revolution in 1966."

Why Communism Should Be Tried For Its Crimes Against Humanity

By Stella Morabito

Why Communism Should Be Tried For Its Crimes Against Humanity: It’s tragic that the free world has never held the lethal ideology of communism accountable for its crimes against humanity. It's past time.

"Cubans have been marching in the streets for freedom, chanting “Libertad!” and demonstrating by the thousands that they’ve had enough of the sham called communism. They know economic disaster and political repression come with that territory.

"Yet today we’re peering through Alice’s looking glass as we watch these events unfold. Everything is backwards. Elites in the U.S. government, media, and Big Tech seem to be taking the side of the communist authorities who are clamping down on the protests, Soviet-style. Some journalists and Twitter have spun the idea that Cubans are taking to the streets mostly because of a desire for more awareness of COVID-19 cases and deaths. Please."

What to read...

I don't think that anyone reads enough Chesterton, and that includes me. You can get his Orthodoxy via Kindle for 99 cents. Then there are a few zillion of his books available for free at the Online Books Page. And you can start and go anywhere in Orthodoxy and you'll find something good if it take's too much for an end to end read.

Annie Jacobsen has written some good books. I've now read four of them. The Pentagon's Brain, about DARPA, is enlightening. I infer from it that we do not know the half of U.S. defense capability or who controls it.

Charles McCarry is the greatest American novelist. I've read all fourteen of his novels. Old Boys, one of the later ones, was where I started. Second Sight is brilliant. Christopher's Ghosts is stunning.

Diana West is a great writer. American Betrayal will change your view of American history since 1933. One of my (former) friends called her a "Bircher c___," because she actually found that there were Communists under the bed.

Greater even than Diana, if earlier, was Claire Sterling. The Terror Network, The Time of the Assassins, and The Mafia are three books that have such impact that my life is divided into before I read them and after I read them.

I think I'm up to nine Nelson DeMille novels now. He has been a popular novelist, but if you want a quick course in anti-Communism, read these four as fast as you can: The Charm School (set in Soviet Russia), The Quest (in Marxist Revolution era Ethiopia), The Deserter (post-Chavez Venezuela), and The Cuban Affair (late stage Communist Cuba). And add in a fifth, Up Country (a Vietnam War vet returns to Vietnam twenty-five years later).

Robert Crais is a crime novelist. His two recurring characters are Elvis Cole and Joe Pike. Pike is especially compelling. Set in Los Angeles, most of the time. I got to about nine of those books.

For some theory, denser reads, Eric Voegelin. Science, Politics, and Gnosticism and then The New Science of Politics. He takes things apart and puts them back together again. 

How bad is the provincialism of Ulster County?

Well, it's pretty damn provincial. But the strange thing about that is that American cities, including the once sophisticated and cosmopolitan elements of New York City, have reverted to their own kind of provincialism. A case could be made for Ulster County having led the way, but that would be absurd. Nothing happening here counts very much even for here, much less for anywhere else. The general dumbing down of America just took hold here far earlier.

Speaking of NYC, before the Corona Era I was down there one morning and had to get on the subway during rush hour. I squeezed myself onto the L Train and noted all the "sad millennials" arriving in Manhattan from Brooklyn. I'm used to New York City deadface, the demeanor of the typical broken NYC transit rider, but this was something out of a sci-fi story. A can of sardines showed more life.

Meanwhile, Ulster County has become an economy class Camelot for New Yorkers from overpriced Brooklyn and Manhattan, and that's been driving up the prices in the Ulster housing market, bringing with it an even duller set of people than the ones already here. I used to call them the "generics." But that's a little too neutral. They're the dishwater cosmopolitans, with all the attitude and twice the dullness.

"They must have some redeeming qualities!" Not so far, but their money is green. That counts, a little.

Hereabouts, the natives are not only not restless, they are perfectly comatose.

Correcting Conservative Convention

The racial scam, the equity scam, the socialism scam, are a single scam. Conservatives on TV miss this point at their peril.

By Angelo Codevilla

Correcting Conservative Convention › American Greatness (amgreatness.com)

"Go to Cuba. Look at the poor bastards who have to live on the ration card. Go to the famously free hospitals, and notice that malnutrition is the number one cause for admission. Then look at the officials with whom you deal: they are sleek. What about Venezuela? Reminds you of what life was like in the old Soviet Union. But isn’t it true that in socialist countries, nobody owns anything? Sure. But who controls access to life’s goods? Surely you can count on them to administer these goods 'equitably.'"

Controlling the Local News: The Corrupt Low-Rent Censors Who Edit the Kingston Freeman

Not very smart but corrupt. That's how I would describe the editors of the Kingston Freeman. They're lazy too. I would add intellectually lazy but they don't seem to have any intellect at all.

Last week they ran, in their usual unconscious way, an Associated Press story announcing the latest diktat from the Centers for Disease Control, the CDC. With this headline:

"Vaccinated teachers and students don't need masks, CDC says"

On the story announcing this new judgment, I made this comment:

"Vaccine apartheid is as clumsy as the public hygiene dictators get."

That was too much for the low-rent slob censors to deal with. They censored the comment. When I noted that they had censored my comment, they censored that comment as well.

They have no, zero credibility as men of the Fourth Estate (the Press, as we used to call it) or even just as men. They are gutless fools. It's impossible to underrate them. Impossible to say that there is a bottom to their failure because it is bottomless. They fail in every category of print journalism that applies and are happy to fail even more when it's brought to their attention.

They can barely provide coverage of local news. It's embarrassing to watch them try. "Budget cuts," you know, that are now institutionalized and as bottomless as the editors failures to imagine workarounds. And their regional, state, national, world coverage is just one AP story after another, which they slide off their online platform's front page before comments can reach the immediate reader. That's their strategy for dealing with any comment or correction of any AP story, to get rid of the story as soon as possible, delaying the "approval" of comments so that readers will be far less likely to see them (and there are few readers to begin with).

Another Reckoning for a Bad Idea?

Bad ideas never die, but their rebirths reliably are met—eventually—by critics who call attention to the emperor’s nakedness.

By Roger Kimball

Another Reckoning for a Bad Idea? › American Greatness (amgreatness.com)

"No bad idea ever dies. That is the mournful lesson we are being taught daily by the partisans of so-called “critical race theory,” the disciples of “equity,” and the shock troops of Antifa and Black Lives Matter. There are some local differences, of course—differences of fashion and vocabulary, mostly—but to a large extent the present radicalisms are a reprise of the radicalisms of the 1960s, which in turn were recapitulations of the radicalisms of the French Revolution filtered through the argot of Marxism."

What is Trump to Us?

An OK first draft of what happened. Trump's Herculean task was to lead America back against its masters in DC and throughout what Codevilla calls the ruling class. As President (and as a candidate before his election) Trump became the Great Exposer and then the Master of Counter-Provocation. His first accomplishment, his lasting accomplishment, is that we now see them for what they are. DC is not an American city. The Chinese have more power there than Americans do.

They have lied through their media and with their own mouths like this before, but never so openly and blatantly and above all shamelessly. They conducted a vast military-level psychological operation against all Americans, left and right, and never as violently as with their handling of the aftermath of the election. Censorship is violence, and they went so far as to censor Trump himself. That's how afraid of him they are.

Trump did not use all of his weapons, the first of which would have been declassification. He saw his presidency not as a civil war, but as a negotiation. Whether this was a mistake or not, it is consistent with his belief that war is more costly than making a deal. That's a great debate that has roots going back to the 19th century. But at the end of his four years we had a set of x-rays of the enemy within that was far more extensive than anything we had before.

Trump Is Suing Big Tech Giants That Nuked His Accounts

Excellent. Should be fast-tracked to the Supreme Court. Censorship, by the way, is violence. These now Soviet phone companies, which interrupt and end calls they do not like, started out as come one, come all platforms for free speech. Then they announced that they had political agendas and would silence those who did not share those agendas. I think the best word for them is the one that denotes a person who enjoys carnal relations with his own mother.
