Legend tells that Kung Fu Tse, the great Chinese philosopher and administrator, when he was once asked what he would do first if he could become the emperor of China, replied: “I would define the concepts.” Kung Fu Tse understood that if you want to control how people act, you must control how people think. If you want to control how people think, you must control how they speak. And if you want to control how people speak, you must control language, i.e. the meaning of terms and of the concepts they refer to.

By mid-April of 1977, I arrived by STOL aircraft on a piece of savanna in the middle of the tropical rain forest that was part of the Comisaría del Vaupés. From the “air strip” it was about a two-hour march through the teeming rain forest to get to the small settlement of Yebámasa Indians, I had selected as my study group. Of course, the Indians did not know that, and my sudden arrival was a surprise for them.

The failed and frustrated Marxist revolutionaries became university professors and used their teaching positions to preach Marxism and educate young students to adopt the Marxist world view.
They became the educators of teachers, who then became the educators of school children.
They became judges and began to judge based on ideological principles instead of the principles of law and order. Read up on what’s going on at Yale Law School. You won’t believe it.
They became movie makers and made movies that favored and propagandized their own political and philosophical orientations in a subtle and subconscious way. Disney, Sesame Street.
They became journalists and twisted the truth to match their ideological bias. In fact, they converted journalism from a control institution that tells truth to power to a cheer leader group that tells lies to the people.
They became musicians and song writers who propagated hate, violence, reverse racism, and aggressive behavior.

I have often wondered, why many religions and almost all of the social ideologies humans have developed so far in their quest for “justice” always side up with the poor, the oppressed, the underprivileged, the disenfranchised. Not that these groups of people would not need some special attention and help. They certainly do. But it stands out that the justice doctrines seem to side up with the poor and the weak alone and have no good word to say about the average working person.

Between 1783 and 1787, at the height of the German enlightenment, the German playwright Friedrich Schiller wrote the drama “Don Carlos”. Carlos is Prince of Asturias and, as the son of the Spanish King Philip II, “Infant” to the Spanish throne, i.e. the designated successor of King Philip. Don Carlos sides up with the Dutch insurgents who want national independence, individual freedom and a constitution. His friend, the Marquis de Posa, petitions the despotic King with the famous words “Sire, give freedom of thought!” and dies for the liberty of the Dutch, while Don Carlos is delivered to the Inquisition by his own royal father for his heretic views.

Oil and Natural Gas — the Life Blood of our Technical Civilization
We use oil to make gasoline, Diesel oil, heating oil, asphalt and road oil, hydrocarbon gas, jet fuel and aviation gasoline, kerosene, waxes, petroleum coke, petrochemical feed stock (used to make plastics), special naphtha, paints, lubricants, and a host of chemical and pharmaceutical products, which are used in our medical and healthcare systems. We use natural gas in similar ways and also to produce ammonia, which is the raw material from which most modern agricultural fertilizers are made. Without these ammonia-based fertilizers we would not be able to feed all the people in the world. Without oil and natural gas, our technical civilization would come to a screeching halt.

Alexandr Dugin – Putin’s Rasputin
Many people with whom I recently discussed the actions and behavior of Vladimir Putin, expressed bewilderment and doubt about his mental health and sanity. Does this guy still tick right? Putin’s behavior becomes more understandable if one understands what is the driving force behind it.
You may never have heard of Alexandr Dugin, but you may have heard of Grigori Rasputin.

Marxism is the underlying ideology of socialism. Socialism is a social, political, and economic system in which all means of production are allegedly owned by the “people” but are in reality controlled by unelected power elites.
Communism is a hypothetical form of socialism without government. According to Marx, government is no longer needed in Communism, as people have internalized socialist moral principles and have learned to govern themselves. There is no example in human history where this has ever been accomplished.
Is the Democratic Party Really the Political Home of Black Americans?
Do you remember Mr. Biden saying: “If you don’t vote for me, you’re not Black.” ?
What he meant to say is that Black Americans should vote for him and the Socialist Democratic Party because he and his party stand and have always stood for the just cause of Black Americans as their good friends and defenders. Does history bear that out?
Medical Dictatorship
By now, we know that mask wearing is pretty much useless and counterproductive. It’s mainly window dressing and a psychological placebo to mitigate paranoia about COVID. Even Dr. Fauci admitted this. On 10/21 2020, Dr. Fauci said:
“There’s no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block a droplet, but it’s not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And, often, there are unintended consequences — people keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.”
