Insight into the elite that actually runs USA
Nothing can stop elite control. We the plebs can, though, influence the elite. We can favor the best of them, learn about the worst of them. Identify them as best we can. I am not describing a hopeless situation but a realistic one. Passion and emotionality over illusions like democracy are a waste of time. See this for more: How citizens should assess news & information and respond to lies & coercion based on it. ABN
There is always an elite. Our best case is get a good elite.
Musk is part of the only good elite faction that has a chance to take power in the coming ‘elections’. Democracy is a fantasy. Even in its ideal form with honest elections, it cannot work in a world with so many uninformed and stupid people. Maybe after a few generations of digital babies when IQs have soared, something like democracy will work. But not today. Ergo, all we have are choices between elite factions. Musk is in the Trump, RFK, Ramaswamy, Patel, Carlson faction. These guys are much better than the cloak-and-dagger Obummer faction. Musk is a member of the elite because he is rich. How he got there only he knows. Clearly, he at least did not piss off the wrong people and probably was aided by the right people, whoever they are. That said, he does seem to be good at running companies and honestly care about USA core civilizational values, laws, and traditions. He is much better than Gates or Zuckerberg. This is the only way to calculate real-world political choices. ABN
Portland, Maine — Free food and rent is not enough
According to Larry Fink these ‘new Mainers’ will be a negative drag on Maine’s future. In a world of AI and robotics, which is fast arriving, low-skilled, low-IQ, uneducable or unassimilable workers will not do Maine (or any other state) any good at all. Moreover, we all know they have been flown into Portland at taxpayer expense for one reason and one reason only — to vote for Democrats. ABN

How Arabs view the West — Gad Saad
Thirty years ago a Chinese Buddhist nun who is a close friend was appalled at the laxity of American immigration policy. Thirty years ago she said, ‘You are just giving everything to them. You are giving your country away!’ She could not comprehend it or respect it. To her it was immoral to give so unwisely while also failing to protect your own people. Buddhism emphasizes wisdom in all things. ABN
How citizens should assess news & information and respond to lies & coercion based on it
If the government coerces you to take an untested vax, while loudly declaring it is ‘safe & effective’, don’t take the vax and do not believe the agencies or people who tried to coerce you. The covid vax was particularly pernicious because it had to be injected into your bloodstream and did not even fit the normal definition of a vaccine. When the government changes the definitions of vaccines, which they did for covid, or anything else, be very suspicious.
These principles are obvious and easy to understand and are a good basis for mass non-compliance and disbelief in government coercion and lies. All that is required is did they lie about something important or did they coerce us to do something dangerous, in violation of our inalienable rights.
The same can be applied to history. We know they lied about WMD in Iraq and we also know (and knew at the time) that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 — therefore, knowing this, we should suspect their motives for all wars past and present and future. Rather than go into many examples of this, I am going to assume readers know what they are.
As for history, if it is illegal or massively frowned upon to question any historical event, we should be sure to question it. We must not allow politicians to tell us our First Amendment rights are a threat to ‘our’ (meaning their) democracy as John Kerry has done recently and Jacinda Ardern and many others did during the plandemic.
On this basis, it behooves all of us to question the Holocaust. It is ludicrous to make questioning that subject illegal, as it is in most of Europe, or scandalous as it is in USA.
That’s all. Civil non-compliance based on simple rules and examples as given above allow all citizens to lend their voices to most subjects without necessarily agreeing on every aspect. This is the most important kind of power we the people have. Totalitarianism cannot take over our nations or remain in power where it already has taken over if a majority of citizens see the lies and do not agree or comply. This kind of power is made super-duper strong if citizens also know that others know and if all of us know we all know. ABN

Black-On-White Homicides: Sept. 2024
Nelson Beckett, 90, was fatally shot during a Houston, TX carjacking.
21-year-old Kyliel Denzel Arceneaux was charged with capital murder.
The carjacking occurred at an independent living community.
Police responded to a call about an assault in progress involving a weapon. They found Beckett lying in the parking lot with gunshot wounds.
Beckett was transported to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
According to the preliminary investigation, a man assaulted Beckett, shot him, and then stole his vehicle and belongings. Police also revealed that the suspect ran over Beckett while fleeing the scene.
Arceneaux was arrested on Tuesday and charged with capital murder, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and tampering with evidence.
I dislike reading articles like this. And I dislike posting them. But sometimes we need to look at the particulars of the very high black-on-white crime rate. Leftist policies have done nothing but harm both black and white communities (and all others). Radical leftist ideals are sort of OK as imaginary goals but always lack realism and thus always fail.
