"Your legacy will be that of turning the House of Representatives from a revered legislative body into a Star Chamber of partisan persecution."

In this Orwellian universe we now inhabit—this time of universal deceit—up is down, black is white, 2 + 2 = 5, Objectivism = Woke Obleftivism, evil is good, vileness assumes a guise of insufferable sanctimony ... and an entire media elite along with Putrid Pelosi herself can call the following letter "sick," "unhinged," "deranged," "rambling," etc. None of The Filth can, or will attempt to, answer a single point therein, because every single point is spot on. This letter is six pages of truth and substance, unlike the knee-jerk monosyllabic smear-spewings of The Filth. Note that terms like "deranged" and "unhinged" are now routinely used by The Filth—who are truly deranged and unhinged—to describe any truth-teller. "Unhinged" is the talking point that has been distributed among all of The Filth as their stock response to anyone who calls them out, reminiscent of the Soviet confinements of dissidents for "mental illness." As Orwell said, "In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."

... it was always about impeachment of Orange Man Bad all along, regardless of evidence. From the moment he was elected:

Oh joy!

Not since the vile Hillary went down and so-called journalists—the enemy of the people—abandoned all pretence of disinterestedness and professionalism, weeping and wailing openly at the triumph of Orange Man Bad, have I laughed so much. The vile Sorosian Socialist Commie Corbyn goes down. The vile Jo Swineson goes down. Orange Man Bad #2 Boris gets a thumping mandate to take Britain out of the vile Anti-European Union, finally. Only in Sorosian Londonistan, stabbing capital of the world—inundated as it has been by primitive superstitionists with an obvious investment in open borders—does Remain get any traction. Oh, and Sorosian Scotland, where "nationalists" who want to surrender national sovereignty to the vile EU have done inexplicably well. In spite of them, and because of the lingering influence of patriotism, decency, and a genuine commitment to freedom, Britonistan has been postponed!!

“The nobility of England, my lord, would have snored through the Sermon on the Mount. But you’ll labour like Thomas Aquinas over a rat-dog’s pedigree! Now what’s the name of those distorted creatures you’re all breeding at the moment?”
(Sir Thomas More, from Robert Bolt’s A Man for All Seasons)

One could put it to England’s 16th-century Lord Chancellor More that the distorted creatures the nobles of England now breed are called terrorists, though that wouldn’t be entirely fair. Modern Englishmen do not exactly breed terrorists, but it certainly could be argued that they encourage them by allowing them to breathe the same air as human beings.

The facts are tumbling out, even as the Inspector-General tries to pretend that the concerted attempt to stage a coup against Trump by the Swamp was not politically motivated. The coup cabal included Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Crooked Hillary, Loretta Lynch, Susan Rice, Lisa Page, Peter Stroek, Andrew McCabe, Christopher Steele, Adam Schitt ... and Barack Hussein Obama. No counter-intelligence operation such as the spying on Trump predicated on the phony dossier about Orange Man Bad and pee-ing prostitutes can take place other than at the direction of the President. Obamarx. Lock him up!!

The battle for school choice. The hardest one of all:

Orange Man Bad tells the story of Irving Berlin's classic at 51' 25". This must drive Islamo-Marxists, including Obleftivists, crazy. Decency resurgent!! Hugs from "special needs" people to boot!!

Gusto Rocks, Gustav Sucks

New Zealand Symphony Orchestra conducted by Edo de Waart with Lauren Snoufer (soprano), Anna Larsson (mezzo), Orpheus Choir, Voices NZ Chamber Choir.
Mahler Symphony No.2 Resurrection; Michael Fowler Centre 22 November.

One of the world's finest orchestras and some splendid singers under the baton of one of the world's greatest conductors played and sang some of the world's most execrable anti-music the other night. They performed it explemplarily, and were cheered to the echo by the febrile throngs of worshippers who packed the venue, but their admirable gusto could not redeem Gustav Mahler from his status in this solitary reviewer's eyes as a titan of tosh, tedium and tunelessness.

Why is this still happening?! Why are these savages from this blighted barbaric medieval backwater allowed into the United States, let alone to train as pilots?!

Bring back Trump's original "complete and total shutdown." Where is Trump on this, apart from tweeting ghastly platitudes about "ongoing monitoring" and "thoughts and prayers," no doubt written by some filthy Deep Statist within the White House?!

Islam—along with such enablers as Cultural Marxism and Obleftivism—is the face of evil in our time.

"Mohammed Saeed al-Shamrani was a Saudi aviator training at the U.S. naval station.

"The Saudi military member who fatally shot three people at a U.S. naval base in Florida hosted a dinner party earlier in the week where he and three others watched videos of mass shootings, a U.S. official said on Saturday.

"Saudi aviator Mohammed Saeed al-Shamrani was killed by sheriff’s deputies in the attack at Naval Air Station Pensacola on Friday in Florida, after killing three and wounding 12.

"One of the three Saudi military students who attended al-Shamrani’s twisted dinner party was caught videotaping outside the building while the shooting was taking place, said the U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity after being briefed by federal authorities."

Mario in Martinborough!

A butcher's shop—Scotty's Meats, aka Carnivore Heaven—from which you can smell the blood a mile away. The world's finest wines. The world's most irresistible foods (including sinfully sumptuous whitebait!).The world's most humming cafes and pubs. The world's most convivial inhabitants having the world's most spirited conversations. The best shops and boutiques and the best outdoors. Such is Martinborough, New Zealand, where Mario Lanza, bon vivant, would have been very much at home.

A very unusual state of affairs is taking place with black voters across the United States.

When Mitt Romney ran on the Republican ticket for the office of president in 2012, he won 8% of the black vote country-wide. When Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016 he held on to the votes of that same 8%.

But two recent polls – Rasmussen and Emerson – are now showing that a whopping 34.5% of Black Americans approve of the job President Trump is doing.

This represents a potential disaster for Democrats, who have always relied on winning the votes of this minority demographic.

Fry-quackers currently rule the world. They are ubiquitous and inescapable. Their aural pollution is a much greater existential threat than "climate change" (which isn't a threat at all, and of which fry-quackers, fittingly, are the most screechingly irrational proponents). They are the likes of Occasional Cortex and Jihadi Jacinda, who could as easily be twin sisters as Yawon Bwook and George Sowos could be twin brothers.

I am in a minority of one in pointing to the tyranny of fry-quackery, along with the related collapse of the attention span, as indicative of the imminent collapse of Western Civilisation. It is an integral part of the assault on objectivity, and with it, decency.

Here's a challenge to moronnials in particular in both respects. A protracted in-depth discussion between humans for whom ideas are supreme and speech is an art form. Contrast this with the Zero IQ sub-human fry-quackers on CNN et al. And observe how prescient Muggeridge was:

Here, to invoke Bruno from the thread below, are three "purposeful and calculated liars," all law professors, whose evil certainly does not lie in their refusing to focus. At the same time they are so hideous it's hard to believe it's all their own work, that they're not drawing from a common cesspool of diabolical dimensions. I suppose they are, and the cesspool is called "Academia." The one from the Ugly Wimmin's Collective could be Prissy Brazen Fraud's twin sister. What is it with lying, upward-inflecting, fry-quacking communist wimmin?! Anyway, the great Gaetz tore these grotesqueries apart:

We're back, after I took time out to try to come to grips with the enormity—by which I had become beyond-gobsmacked—of the evil prowling through the universe in the form of Soros, Schiff, ARI and its puny apologists, Pelosi, Nadler, Romney, Stelter, Chuck Todd, Jihadi Jacinda, Winston Global Migration Soros-Peters, all the screeching fry-quacking females on the "mainstream" networks, et al. Not to mention the Islamosavages stabbing people on London Bridge, and Sinosavages promoting the triumph of Chinese totalitarianism worldwide by 2049—Islamo-Marxists in general—whom all of these sub-maggots enable.

I still can't come to grips with any of it, except to think there has to be a force for evil at loose which is greater than the sum of parts such as this parade of cockroaches. I realise this is Platonism on my part, hence the time out for re-evaluation. I draw people's attention to the disclaimer at the bottom of every page here re whether the opinions expressed align with Objectivism. Among the people to whom I have personally expressed these opinions I have received only splutterings to the effect of, "How can someone so intelligent believe in a devil?!" I reply, "ostensively!" Just look!

I don't mean an Occasional Cortex look-alike with a pitchfork. I mean an incomprehensibly, cosmically vicious antecedent force into which such sub-maggots gleefully tap.

Debate welcome!

A couple of music reviews from the last month will follow. A bit of catching up to do.

Here's an interview with President Reagan just as he was leaving office in 1989. The Reagan Derangement Syndromers were putting it out there that he was senile, which is clearly not the case. Ayn Rand condemned him for opposing baby-killing. Obleftivists to this day condemn him for opening the way to a Goblian theocracy. Such crass ignorance and evil moronry is beyond comprehension. Just look at the palpable decency of this man and compare it to such deformities as Pelosi, Schumer and Yawon Sowos. Weep, too, for a classy professionalism in television interviewing that has long gone:

Years ago I wrote what I like to call a “serious operetta” titled THE WATCHER ON THE SHORE (WOTS).

Politics is essentially philosophical in nature for it addresses the ethics of a social system by posing the question: how ought men to be governed?

This question of how men relate to each other has lain at the very heart of all human civilisations, from the ancient Sumerians to the modern American Republic and everything in-between, instructing us that above all things, ideas matter, since getting them wrong can wreak destructive havoc on the human spirit, to say nothing of human lives.

It has been nothing short of outlandish to watch the round condemnation by Democrats and Republicans of President Trump’s decision to withdraw US forces from Syria in the face of a Turkish incursion over Turkey’s southeastern border.

The US does not have a large combat force there. If it were to send one in, the US would be fighting against the territorial integrity of greater Syria, Assad’s country, which is currently propped up by Russia and Iran. The US never agreed to fight a mission to help the Kurds create and maintain their own autonomous homeland, not for one minute.

Michael Moore has written an essay/review of the film Joker, which struck me as a disturbing tell on Moore’s own psychology:

“[…]if you look away from the genius of this work of art, you will miss the gift of the mirror it is offering us. Yes, there’s a disturbed clown in that mirror, but he’s not alone — we’re standing right there beside him.”

What’s with the royal “we” in sympathy for the devil?

I haven’t seen the film – and what follows is not about the film, it’s about Moore projecting his own political propaganda onto it.

When NZ PM Jacinda Ardern addressed the United Nations last week, she did her usual spiel on the challenges of addressing climate change, the horror of the Christchurch massacre and her ongoing efforts to have online hatred and violence curbed (which also includes speech that she doesn’t like).

This PM’s obsession with the climate change hoax is as well-known as it is infantile, but what struck me most was the stark absence of any kind of patriotic sentiment in Ardern’s leadership voice. She carefully presented the case that it is nationalism, which she tried to pass off as tribalism, that stands in the way of her global crusades. This is not a patriotic woman.

Apparently Parts One and Two of “Regarding Carl Barney and Scientology” weren't enough to convince readers of The Objective Standard because a Part Three has been added.

'Sections of a so-called whistleblower’s complaint alleging President Donald Trump was “using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country” in the 2020 presidential race relies upon a self-described investigative journalism organization bankrolled massively by billionaire activist George Soros. ...

Panic is setting in among the Sorosian globalists. Brexit and Trump's re-election are looking inevitable, and, in the case of Brexit, imminent. Just how demented the Sorosians are becoming is evidenced by the Labour MPs in these exchanges:

Thomas Paine and Edmund Burke: A Response to Olivia Pierson

If Tom Paine were alive today I am left to wonder if he would be a devotee of Foucault and the Cultural Marxists? This thought comes from reading Edmund Burke and an understanding of 18th C thought. Both writers are engaged with the “age of reason” and each represents that there were different responses to it. Their responses remain profoundly manifest today.

To The Right Honourable Jacinda Ardern
Prime Minister of New Zealand

Well now Madam,

Since you seem to be a godless unbeliever who is about to enter the presence of the God-Emperor, President Trump next week, and since I’m the only writer/essayist in NZ who understands the importance of American history and the man who is now making it, I thought I’d write you a quick communique to offer a few important pointers that will be much more helpful than those you’ll receive from our meddlesome old Right Honourable Aunty Helen.

Cosmic mass hysteria that makes medieval witch-burning villages look like citadels of reason. Here is the coming together of almost all current evils: anti-conceptualism; "facts don't matter" infantilism; fry-quacking upward-inflecting zombie squawk-ism; snowflake emotionalism ("I feel anxiety over global warming") above objectivity and rationality; the totalitarian grandstanding of fat, ugly, evil attention-demanding fascist females ... Ayn Rand could not have imagined anything so unspeakable. Her Comrade Sonya didn't come close. The only component missing is the mercenary monstrosity who speaks in her name, China-supporting Sorosian Yawon Bwook (and his paid Obleftivist toadies):

Recently-fired National Security Advisor John Bolton never liked being referred to as a neoconservative, despite holding many positions which are typical of that ideology. He was an advocate for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, and has called for regime change in both Syria and Iran.
