Fake poll, stupid conclusions

 I see in Yahoo news (?) the following...

AP-NORC poll: Most in US say they want stricter gun laws

CHICAGO (AP) — Most U.S. adults want to see gun laws made stricter and think gun violence is increasing nationwide, according to a new poll that finds broad public support for a variety of gun restrictions, including many that are supported by majorities of Republicans and gun owners.

The poll by the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows 71% of Americans say gun laws should be stricter, including about half of Republicans, the vast majority of Democrats and a majority of those in gun-owning households.


To which I commented ....

We really don't have a gun problem. We don't have a 'white supremacism' problem either, despite the BS from the administration. The murder perpetrator rate in the US for white males is between that of France and Finland. So, the 'white' thing isn't the problem. Nor is the guns. However, 'USA has 3rd highest murder rate in the world, unless you subtract the five biggest Democrat-run metropolitan cities, and then we’re 189th out of 193.' (1) Call that a clue as to where the problem lies, and where the corrective actions need be made.

Prediction


If the mid-term election relies on 'vote-by-mail' ballots for it's outcome it will be stolen by the illegitimate cabal currently running the country.

I told you about this before the 2020 election was stolen.

And 'vote-by-mail' is only one tactic the reich employs.

Now, VERY CLEARLY, the reich is preparing to do it again.

There are already Americans in 4th reich gulags.  

The Gestapo (FBI) has already raided the home of their leading political opponent.  

We are NOT living in a free country today.  A substantial constitutional conservative (not RINO) win in the midterm may be able to stall the end of the republic long enough for a Presidential election to be held.

Or it may not.  

Or, the conservatives may lose their bids for office in a stolen election, which is what I expect.

Either way, there will be blood in the street driven by today's 4th reich tyrants who want to secure their growing powers versus the growing mass of - finally - awake Americans who will demand their freedoms back.  

That much is a given.  The Gestapo (same who certainly brought you the Governor Whitmer 'White Supremacist' false flag event (1)) and very likely J6 (2)) will see to it.  In fact, they've already begun ...https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/08/project-veritas-dhs-whistleblower-leaks-new-joint-intelligence-bulletin-domestic-violent-extremists-following-fbi-raid-mar-lago/

Quit Pretending

The most intelligent analyst of politics and power plays in our country is Sundance at the Conservative Treehouse.  He has been ahead of the game for many years and in the past when I've disagreed with him it was me that was wrong.

His article today is cold water to optimists who see Ron DeSantis as a second Trump.  I like the man, we've met twice and I spoke with him for some minutes.  That said, he is a Navy JAG Officer and even the very best of them, some of whom I've know well, are ALL 4th reich loyalists.   

Yale, Harvard and Navy JAG officer, this does NOT look like someone ready to eliminate the FBI, actually close the southern border, prosecute the cabal that stole the 2020 election and persecutes patriots using the NSA, DOJ, FBI, IRS ....    He will most likely say he'll do all that ... and then ... 'it's so hard ...complex,,,  but with your further contributions I will in my next term ...'  4th reich RINO crap.

“Evil cannot create anything new, they can only corrupt” - J.R.R. Tolkien

I intend this blog to be recreation, even therapy, not competition for Fox News, Carl Trueman, Jordan Peterson, or even Hickok45.  It provides me an opportunity to organize and jot down some thoughts and bookmark good references on topics that interest me.  These have mostly been national and personal security, military matters, and politics, logically reflecting my 37 years with the Navy.

I don't think popular entertainment has been a topic in the years I've been posting.  It's well out of my competence and experience but, the topic comes to mind with recent advertising seen for Amazon's  treatment of Tolkien's world in their upcoming 'Rings of Power' series.

Throughout my life 'escapist' fantasy has been a relief from boredom and many of life's frequent unpleasant developments.  I don't recall exactly which grade I was in when I first read The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings.  As a child I was a precocious reader, finishing Hersey's Hiroshima, Shirer's The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, and J Edgar Hoover's (probably ghost written by companion) Masters of Deceit before 8th grade. But Tolkien's works were my mainstay and remained a constant companion, having read through them a dozen or more times over 50 years.  Embarrassed to say, that's more than I've read the Bible.  Peter Jacksons movie treatment of the trilogy was essentially faithful to the books and very good indeed.  The more aggressively PC Tolkien 'inspired' works subsequent ... not so much. 

As to television, I began watching the original black and white Dr Who as a 12 year old in Philadelphia courtesy of PBS.  While the poor quality of the special effects were, even then, comical, the plot, a timeless alien able to transport human companions anywhere in space and time, was interesting enough to hold attention.  And it did, for decades.  I was delighted with the reappearance of the doctor in 2005.  Christopher Eccleston made a great, edgy, sarcastic time lord and David Tennant has been the best ever.

So, Tolkien and Dr Who.  One smuggling a Christian message for young men growing to be soldiers and officers, the other, meh, innocent fun for SciFi enthusiasts. 

Dr. Who fell first.  The increasing PC being forced into the show came to a head with the Capaldi version of the doctor in advance of the disastrous Jody Whittaker version.  I've not watched more than 10 minutes of the Whittaker (who admitted to never having watched the show) doctor, that seems to be as long as the show can run before another preachy PC point is made.  

Should have gone with Tilda Swinton and retitled to' Dr What'

Pity that.  Rest in Peace doctor.

And now it appears to be Tolkien's turn to be fundamentally 'reimagined' into a pompous, absurd, PC, pigs breakfast.  The build up by Amazon has been enough to know this will be glowingly repulsive to Tolkien fans.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxHjg8pJUwY

If you need one of these to do the job - reconsider what you are doing

As the host says "If you need to fundamentally change a thing to like it - you're not a fan." (should be a clue here for Obama voters as well)  So, I'll be avoiding the show.  

Much more recently, I very much enjoyed GRR Martin's Game of Thrones masterpiece works, first the books, and then the series (ok, enjoyed the first seven seasons, was disappointed by the 8th and it's final rush to conclusion).  The TV series provided such an entertaining fusion of Lord of The Rings and The Sopranos both the wife and I looked forward to each weeks episode.  We even visited the filming sites in Northern Ireland before the final season's release.  

HRH on the set of Winterfell trying on Rory McCann's 'Hound' helmet

Although less invested in this work compared to LOTR and Dr Who, the revision in dogma for the new prequel "House of Dragons" with it's absurd race quotas, warns there will be an intolerable amount of cultural marxist preaching preempting any interest by me.  Clearly the SJWs wanted in, and GRR was folding, by 2019.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0yRfzTfmwM

So, the march through the institutions in fantasy has been no respecter of brilliant, meticulous and talented authors.  All must kneel, regardless of the debasement to an artfully crafted story.  

Or, as put more plainly than Tolkien's opening quote ... 

You know what woke means. It means you’re a loser,” Trump said. “It’s true. Everything woke turns to shit. It’s true. Look at what’s happening.”  

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/08/21/donald-trump-everything-woke-turns-to-st/

Amen to that.
