Bundy Acquittal A Diamond In The Rough

My last post described how the system today is garbage and unworthy of participation. One exception shines out, and that is participation in a jury, where your vote counts for something and can make a meaningful difference. The power of a jury to defy the government's wishes is perhaps one of the last bulwarks of liberty within the system itself, though the government has worked hard to chisel away at it (e.g., misinforming jurors about their powers and duties, probing the jurors' deliberations, churning out ignorant and historically illiterate people from schools and universities, etc.).

In a refreshing twist, a jury has raised its middle finger to the federal government by acquitting the Bundy family of criminal charges that were brought in a fit of spite over the Bundys' civil disobedience against federal land policies, which had provoked the feds to overreact and look like the collection of goons they are. What is truly inspiring here is that the Bundys were disobeying while carrying arms, yet the jury still refused to convict, which vindicates the jury system as a stark reminder of how the people are the master while the government is the servant.

All it takes to make a difference in the world is a devoted minority. Indeed, the American Revolution was fought and won by a devoted minority, while the indolent and tepid majority obeyed the crown and eventually fled to Canada (whose socialistic governance reflects this lack of character). So, cherish the opportunity to sit on a jury; if you can't, consider engaging in some civil disobedience, which is not the sole province of racial agitation.

The Final Debate And The Glory Of Exposing The Ugly Truth

I paused to watch some of last night's debate, which was not nearly as remarkable as the ongoing hue and cry about how ugly the campaign is and how terrible both candidates are. As more information comes out about the depravity of these people, the more I take heart because I realize that it has become impossible for Americans to pretend that things are just hunky dory.

For a long time I've understood and written about how America is in serious trouble. The Constitution is dead, as the government and its judges claim sole authority to "interpret" (i.e., remake) it so as to grant themselves unbridled power to tax, spend, regulate, wage war, and thrust foreign invaders into our midst. Having grown too lazy and irresponsible to care about any of this, most Americans went about their hedonistic lives and smugly told themselves they were good citizens by trudging to the polls every couple of years, even shaming those few of us who are conscious and conscientious enough to know the system is garbage and not worthy of our participation.

That charade is over. If the system is garbage, it needs to be publicly recognized as garbage rather than dressed up as something noble. I can think of no better way of achieving this than having a chief executive who himself/herself is garbage. My entire life I've dealt with people who are in deep denial and hate me for speaking truth that they wish to avoid; now the truth is unavoidable. Let the stench reach the heavens and motivate as many people as possible to stop relying on the system to coddle them and, instead, reclaim their rights and responsibilities.

The Second Debate

Although I didn't watch it, I'm well aware that Donald Trump stepped on the gas by calling out the Clintons for the disgusting people they are. For them and the establishment to express outrage over a lewd conversation Trump had a decade ago inspires little more than laughter, when comparing this to the establishment's standard operating procedure of criminal activity at home and abroad.

By the way, what Trump said in his off-color banter is true (the very definition of a gaffe in politics). A male celebrity can get away with all kinds of nasty behavior toward women that other men can't. This is a fact of life that many women and their eunuch enablers are loath to admit, yet it is the very apotheosis of feminism -- a woman has the power to allow or annihilate male conduct based solely on whether she deems it "unwelcome." Feminism does not oppose or even challenge male power; it consecrates powerful males while eviscerating the rest.

From the safety of my perch well outside the political-corporate matrix, I'll continue to enjoy watching the Boomers' sacred cows get slaughtered, through this election season and beyond.
