End the War on Cats (I wish this was a joke).

This is not an endorsement of all of this fellow’s politics. Animal welfare, I have long said, is the one place I find myself leaning toward the Left. Though it is should be a conservative issue (more about the tragedy here).

A 20-year-old lesson of (hopefully) encouragement for Patriots when the time comes to act.

The following is from a 2006 newsletter I wrote during my time as a Chapter Leader in the now-defunct pro-American activist group, ProtestWarrior. It was intended to encourage members to participate in an upcoming event. (Note: People may disagree over some of the issues the organization dealt with, but it was always on the American side.) May this offer encouragement to Patriots today when the time comes to act.

I really enjoy the now-cancelled sit-com, "Grace Under Fire."  I'm not exactly sure why-- leading actress Grett Butler is not that good looking (though she does have nice legs  lol), and the stories (like the actress) are far from politically conservative.  Maybe being set here in the great State of Missouri has something to do with it.  In any case, it is interesting and entertaining.

 

In concise terms, "Grace" (Butler) is a divorced mother whose ex-husband is a recovering alcoholic.  In one particular episode, Grace becomes sorta-addicted to painkillers, using them as an escape from her life.  She finally comes to her senses, and it is her AA-member ex who stands by her, as it were.  He offers her a small poker chip, explaining (paraphrasing from memory), "This is the chip for one day of sobriety they gave me rwhen I joined AA.  I have a one-month chip, a one-year chip, I even have a two-year chip.  But this is the one I always carry with me, because it's the hardest chip I ever earned."

 

The character makes a point.  Sometimes, when facing something new or intimidating, it is that first time doing it that is the most difficult.  This can go for facing life apart from chemical dependency, and it can go for such activities as making a public stand against the Leftist and Islamofascist" threats to our country. 

 

My first time at this, long before I had even heard of ProtestWarrior.com, was when I drove past a "face-off"--good guys on one side, bad guys on the other.  I found a place to park and went to join the good guys.  I made a very chinsy sign, and contributed to the stand.

 

That initial action--specifically, just going up to these people standing for their country--was difficult.

 

However, the first time I had to pull a "solo" action--stand in opposition to the bad guys alone--was a bit intimidating.  True confession time: When I first began regular counter-protests, I would make a point to get there a little late, waiting for someone else to show up.  Eventually though, I was forced by circumstances to pull a solo.  Stepping out onto the sidewalk, sign in hand, alone against a united collective was, to say the least, intimidating.  But what did I find?  I found that my experience in the less-stressing multiple-person actions had prepared me for facing an outnumbering foe with large banners and seemingly a lot of support from passersby.  And, more directly to the point of this article, the longer I stood there, the easier it became.  It was that first step that was the most difficult. 

 

My anxiety had been resolved, by taking that first step, aided by the past participation of my pro-American, pro-Troop cohorts.

 

The point here with regard to PW actions is two-fold.  First, each of us can and must face our anxiety, and second, each of us can draw strength from our cohorts in this regard, and--to be less selfish--give strength to one another.  The more people who make it to the actions, the easier it will be on all.

 

So, with February 1 fast approaching, I hope each of you will make every possible effort (and perhaps a few impossible ones) to participate in at least one RAID action.  As one experienced at this, who has experienced both the wrath of traitors and the teary-eyed gratitude of military family members, I can say it to those with anxiety should take heart in the fact that it will get easier with time.  

 

It is taking that first step that is the key.  And it will truly be "the hardest chip you ever earned."

 

Animal welfare tragedy – NY’s Happy Cat Sanctuary destroyed in suspicious fire.

Unfortunately, New York state has no death penalty. Not sure if we can make this a federal offense.

And no, I don’t know his politics or 2A practices. But animal welfare transcends that. I have long said that this is the place I break a little Left – though the Right is learning.

I would love this life.

“Property crime” against Teslas – I give the solution.

“Property crime” should be legal justification for lethal force. Remember how White people stopped the “Knockout Game” perpetrated by Blacks against them. We shot a few of them in lawful self-defense, and it suddenly stopped.

Disclaimer: Note I call for it to be “LEGAL justification.” It is not so at this time, and therefore should not be done.

REFERENCE: To followers of the Armstrongism faith tradition.

This is off topic for this blog, but it is put here for referencing. It is adapted from correspondence with a current Armstrongist:

“Armstrongism,” for want of a better term, teaches that the “True Church” is defined in a lineage of ordinations (sometimes termed “apostolic succession”). Christ ordained the original apostles, who ordained people, who ordained people, yada-yada-yada, who ordained people, and at least one of those people personally ordained by the laying on of hands Herbert Armstrong. All of these people will have followed “true” Christianity, which means they were seventh-day Sabbatarian. They will not have descended from the supposed Simon Magus counterfeit religion, and at no point will there be a non-Sabbatarian in this lineage. 

This was the explanation given by Andrew Dugger, Jr and CO Dodd in their 1930s book “A History of the True Religion” (originally titled, “A History of the True Church”). Armstrong endorsed this, certainly by sometime in the 1950s. You can locate an article he wrote roughly titled (paraphrasing from memory), “Must a minister be ordained by the hands of man?” It was originally published in 1954, and re-published in 1960 and 1979 (and perhaps other times). The idea is that to be a “true” Christian minister, one must have been ordained by the literal action of a minister in that succession. 

This is not my opinion. This is the teaching of your faith tradition. If you found a minister of a small congregation somewhere meeting on Saturdays and perhaps teaching a few doctrines traditionally associated with your faith tradition (Armstrongism), that would not necessarily mean that church is a “true Church of God” (or “branch of the church,” the terminology preferred by some like the late Roderick Meredith). The minister would had to have been ordained in that discussed lineage. He couldn’t have been, say, ordained as a Presbyterian minister, looked at the Decalogue, and said, “Oh, wait! We should be observing the seventh day, not Sunday!” and then led his congregation to do so. Likewise, lay members of your faith tradition meeting without a minister could not say, “Hey, Sam! You’re doing the job of a minister. We think God wants you to be a minister,” then all lay hands on you and declare you ordained, and have it be legitimate (in the eyes of your religion). You wouldn’t have ministerial authority, and your “congregation” would simply be a gathering of individual adherents to your faith.

The Armstrongist ministry has long and strongly drawn a direct parallel between itself and the Levitical priesthood. The reference to “Levites” in the Deuteronomy 14:28-29 discussion of “third tithe” was used to justify the use of the assistance fund to pay for home renovations of ministers. I even recall a minister saying that it could be used to directly augment ministerial salaries because of this. Much of the authority and prestige of the Armstrongist ministry comes from drawing such parallels. I recall a minister after the 1995 event even saying that they could call themselves “priests” because of this if they so chose. Armstrong himself took it so far as to even roll it over into a theory that many of his ministers were descended literally – genetically – from the Levitical line.

It is this claim of lineage that gives the ministry of your faith tradition their binding authority. Thus, it is core to the claim of Herbert Armstrong being an “apostle,” “the Elijah,” etc. If that lineage does not in fact exist, then the claim of his authority is false.

I suggest you look into the work of Craig White in Australia. He sought to demonstrate the lineage of WCG going back here in North America. He dug very deeply into the history, but admitted the linkages were lacking (though he refuses to acknowledge the consequences). The truth is you cannot trace this lineage, which is central to your religion according to Armstrong.

Ezra 2 and Nehemiah 7 include a reference to a number of families claiming Levitical dissent at the rebuilding of Jerusalem, but whose names are not listed in a registry of such descendants. This results in them being declared “unclean” and set aside from the functions and privileges of the priesthood (until objective verification could be had). Putting this in jurisprudential terms, this is a “precedent,” an event which sets out how situation is like this ought to be handled. The “burden of proof” lies with the people claiming the succession exists. It does not lie with somebody challenging it. Ergo, following the parallel laid out by the ministry of your faith tradition, it is on them or their supporters to show the lineage exists. And if that cannot be done – and up to now it has not been done – they are to be considered set aside, and their doctrinal and spiritual authority disregarded.

Think about it. If a woman from your past claimed her child was the result of a union between the two of you, you would not simply accept her claim. You would demand affirmative proof that the child was yours. How much more important than the genealogy of a single individual, is being sure that the doctrinal authority you believe you are bound to is the correct one? 

Today we have DNA tests to determine physical paternity. But unfortunately, there is no spiritual DNA test that can track ministerial ordinations. People have to rely on verifiable documentation for that. And unfortunately for your religion, the Armstrong faith tradition cannot even determine what elder(s) ordained Armstrong himself, let alone who ordained him/them, etc., back to the original apostles.

Church of God (Seventh Day) history shows that the early ministers of that denomination held ordinations from mainstream non-Sabbatarian protestant churches. Contrary to the impressions given by people like Herman Hoeh, there is no (known) ordinational linkages between them and any sort of Sabbatarian line. They were simply ministers who became involved in the Millerite/Adventist movement and adopted seventh-day Sabbatarianism. The same can be said of the lay members. They were not “rebaptized” upon this change in their practice. The whole claim of such a lineage preceding the formation of what became CG7 did not exist until the 1920s. Dugger himself claimed in a 1926 article that his “first light” on the idea came from an event in 1922. History simply does not bear the claim out, and in fact points against the claim.

And thus, based on the Ezra 2/Nehemiah 7 precedent, your religion’s claim of exclusively being “true Christianity” and the teachings of your ministry — INCLUDING THAT OF HERBERT ARMSTRONG — ought to be disregarded as authoritative. This does not mean that you or they are or were wrong about any other given point of biblical doctrine. It’s simply means that you are not bound before God to believe them, and thus are free to study doctrinal questions and arrive at different conclusions. You are not bound to Herbert Armstrong, WCG, or their legacy.

In a very real sense, I personally do not care what days you rest for worship. I do not care what you believe about the state of the dead. I do not care whether you doctrinally allow makeup or interracial marriage. What I do care about is that people are feeling held to a faith tradition – that is, Armstrongism – which bases its doctrinal authority over adherents on a fundamentally flawed and false premise. And thus, I will confront its adherents with the historical reality and the scriptural precedent laid out here.

I was an Armstrongist, as you are now. [Edit: PERSONAL INFORMATION REDACTED] I do know what you believe. I understand your take on John 6:44. I understand how powerful it is believing that you have been given a special opening to knowledge. But I will put this to you: Jeremiah 17:9 - “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it.”

What I present to you is not my opinion or my specific doctrinal conclusions. It is historical fact and scriptural precedent. It is my hope that you will look into this matter and consider it objectively. A deceived man does not know he is deceived. No matter how deeply you intuitively believe something, it can still be wrong. If you look at this objectively, you will understand. 

Happy 3-08 Day.

Barrett leads to SCOTUS overruling DOGE — Problem is that she is a broad.

Roberts is a common turncoat. Souter Ultra-Light. His failure is expected on the number of these things. But Barrett’s problem is that she is a female and thus very sensitive. It’s the same as when she sided with the liberals on a J6 ruling.

MY COMMENT ON TRUTHSOCIAL: “I’ll say it… Most women don’t have the balls to do a job like that. And especially someone of her temperament. She is too sensitive.”

Shapiro has a point: Trump can have the right agenda, but be problematic in his rhetoric.

Black liberals agree that racial integration is bad.

Now, I have said for decades that there’s a difference between “desegregation” and “integration.” Ending the mandatory separation is one thing. Affirmatively causing the mixing is another. Exactly how much of a line these folks drive between the two, I don’t know. But remember what they said about Finland!

Postmodern Jukebox Showdown: Which is the best PMJ tune?

For the uninitiated who have not seen earlier posts here regarding them, Postmodern Jukebox is a musical outfit devoted to setting modern songs to vintage genres and tones. Imagine the theme to “Friends” performed in the styles of eight different decades. They did it.

Below are probably my three favorite renditions they have done. That is not to disparage other works. Indeed, as I write this, I can think of a couple of others that should probably be included. But the line must be drawn somewhere.

You be the judge as to which is best.

My response to a…, uhmm…, I’ll just give him the benefit of the doubt and call it facetious, comment asking, “What caliber?”:

“Oh I so wish there was a caliber option for them. A SKS in a NATO caliber would make an awesome obsolescent-but-still-effective civilian ‘Militia’ fighting rifle – does the job, but bypasses “assault weapon” concerns. But alas, 7.62mm ComBloc is the only option for those things.”

THE DAILY FUDD: E280: “More about fudd carry — ‘Leave it at the door’ or ‘Phones have value, too’?”

See TDF 258, 259, and 260 for previous installments.

Recently, a late-night/early-morning outdoor noise let me to personally investigate. Whereas the sound sounded a bit hostile, I did secure armament for myself, more than might normally be my ECW. However, since investigation involved leaving my home, I had to consider whether to take it out with me or – as said in the title – leave it at the door.

At the same time, I was reminded of this humerus, but not-without-some-realism Babylon Bee video of a California couple moving to Texas and facing what they perceived to be a threat. Having no weapons – they were from California, after all – they both moved to video the individual. Such would, of course, potentially have the effect of deterring a threat by him knowing that his actions were being preserved. So, as the title also says, phones have value, too.

INTERESTING THING!: I showed how one can have a CCW on his person, a phone/camera at the ready (and his hands or in his pocket), and a heavier arm of some sort, as Mike and the Mechanics would say (2:23 point), “just inside the doorway. [And u]se it only in emergencies.” All at the same time! Approaches like that can be winners all the way around.

There are indeed a number of options for arms bearers when “following the hue and cry.” It takes wisdom to know which to use when and where. This recent experience give me the opportunity to practice that wisdom.

My misunderstanding (alternate meaning) of Reba McEntire’s ”The Greatest Man I Never Knew.”

I misunderstood this song when I first heard it way back when. I thought it was about a working woman – perhaps a single mother (“everything he gave to US”) – with a neighbor who perhaps somewhat secretly helped her financially and such. He cared about her deeply, but never felt the place to say it. It was only when it was recited in that TV movie based on “Is there life out there?” that I realized it was about her father.

My comment on captivating video on the Shroud of Turin.

MY COMMENT (edited for one typo): “My problem with the shroud – and this extends even back to the time when I was of dogmatic religiosity – is the idea that divine action would leave such a physical trace. Spirit is not subject to (physical) matter. For such a divine act to leave such a residual seems to limit the spiritual. I haven’t read it, but things like this always make think of the title of Gloria Loring’s book: “Coincidence Is God's Way of Remaining Anonymous.” The divine intent will be manifest,  of course, but it seems strange to think of the divine touch leaving trace evidence.

It reminds me of efforts to prove the existence of a “soul” by weighing a body just before and just after death. If such a soul is of the spiritual realm, it would have no physical weight. 

All of it goes to making life beyond, apparently subject to the physical, and thus itself physical. Almost a “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”-type view of the dead and demons. I enjoyed that show, while recognizing the flaw in its perspective there. It would be to say that the spiritual can actually be fought with the physical – that arms crafted by the hands of man could challenge that which is supposed to be beyond man. (I felt the same way about “Ghostbusters.”) 

And yes, in Star Trek V Kirk was right to question why God would need a starship.

I am not one to insist on “faith” as requiring that there be NO evidence, as some skeptics and unbelievers will claim in order to silence people of faith. Rather, I would argue that the idea that we can measure physically the spiritual power and action of the Divine opens the way too much for temporal subjugation. Was it God or was it actually corporeal temporal aliens? Or ancient technology? Or a strange act of nature?

I don’t claim to know the explanation for the shroud. And my own “worldview” has plenty of room for the unusual, the paranormal, and the spiritual without this cloth being what it is purported to be by these “believers.” Each of you believe as you believe, but I will only adopt a religious dogma if the Man Himself – the One Who is the One – tells it to me in Person. (And that only with verification – Bones was wrong: you can ask the Almighty for his ID.) Anything else might be wrong.

THE DAILY FUDD: E278: “Relating Charlie Kirk statement to TDF RKBA approach.”

Charlie Kirk addressed to question from someone at least presenting himself as a rather purist RKBA advocate. Whether that purist was sincere or a mole/troll, I do not know.

MY COMMENT: “Political realities, folks, preclude this fellow’s approach regardless. Holding onto some private firepower requires a moderate approach. Purism will only turn a vast swath of the American people against gun rights. See my channel page for a link my blog’s “Daily Fudd” series. Edition 10–"An Originalist fudd-ish argument regarding full-auto and 2A” offers a prospective  that can give judges a line to be true to the Founders and secure essential firepower, including our AR15s and such, while excluding items like cruise missiles.”

Kirk is not college-educated. His ability in things like historical analysis of the Constitution is limited. He will often take a knee-jerk surface approach to things, though as he has aged and matured he has done better. So I do not know if he would except the ideas in TDF 10 (linked above) or not. I don’t know if he would even understand it. But I give credit that he recognizes something adjacent to the concept.

If anyone who happens to see, this happens to know how to get it in front of him, I hope you will.

Off Topic??? — TV show and movie ideas I have hatched in the past.

Someone is likely to steal these, but since I have no means of making them happen, I really can’t complain too much.

1. "My Two Wives": By a weird fluke, a man has two different marriages registered at exactly the same time, and because the laws of his state forbid marrying when one is already married, but not simply having two wives at the same time, he and his wives slip through the crack. After all, says the lead character, "You tell me which one I married first!" It would be a CBS-type sit-com vaguely like "The King of Queens" (cf Episode 6x24: “Awful Bigamy”) focusing on the obvious humor, yet leaving virtually unaddressed any community response to the situation, which is not kept secret. 2. "The Littlest Country": Vaguely a mix of "Grand Duchy of Fenwick" series and "The Almost Royal Family" 1980s ABC Afterschool Special with a young Sarah Jessica Parker. Due to a treaty fluke centuries ago, a few people find themselves in possession of a teeny tiny independent country within the U.S. It would be either a small plot of land barely holding one building, or somehow simply an office in a building. It would seriously address how international relations work, the complexities arising from such a rather small situation, as well as the personal lives of these people who can literally spit from one end of their country to another. 3. "Vanity Plates": alternate title, "Insanity Plates": NBC Monday Night Movie with French Steward-type actor playing guy whose personalized license plates were the very last made by a psycho prisoner, who hunts the fellow down out of vengeance (reminiscent of the gas station scene in "The Jerk"). A series of near-misses ensues as the lead character realizes he is being stalked, and he goes on the run with a 1980s Nancy Allen-type character. Eventually the bad guy is stopped, and the couple live happily ever after, though with new license plates. 4. "A Cat's World": Barely if hardly at all "Cats and Dogs"-derived, it features a world where domesticated felines are intelligent and speaking, and secretly manipulating events in the world. Very little human politics will be discussed. 5. "Cats and Men": Features a world where domestic cats are openly intelligent and speaking. Takes off on numerous works, like "The Country Bears," where two or more sentient species or living types coexist. Societally, cats would continue to live as pets or strays as they do today, but as independent and free beings as recognized by law. They would be legally recognized as such, but politics would rarely be discussed, and it would decidedly NOT be used as a PC vehicle calling for racial harmony or some such thing. The world featured would be geared from the beginning around both humans and domesticated felines being intelligent, each accepting their respective roles. 6. "The Furry Alliance": An alien attack on Earth with a radiation intended to lower human intellect to that of cats and dogs is somehow reversed, leading to most humans being killed, but cats and dogs being elevated in intelligence, as well as made more bipedal (two-legged) in form. These animals, who really seem to have absorbed a lot more information during their pre-attack lives than one might think, form an alliance with the few humans left to defeat the aliens. In one humorous scene, a dog admiral at a staff meeting uses a laser pointer to cause a cat general to compulsively paw at the dot on the table. While the dog quietly goes, "Hee hee hee!" the human in charge of the meeting says, "Stop that!" 7. "Home Movies": Now-obsolete idea about a family or small collection of friends who live in a motor home parked at a drive-in theater. A variant would make it a "Riptide"-type collection of private investigators. Basic comedy-drama, with whatever movie playing having big role in the tone and flow of the show, as well as dealings with the theater management. My worry is that the drive-in element would be lost in later seasons, kinda like how "Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place" became "Two Guys and a Girl." 8. "The Crash": Internet usage overtakes server capacity, causing a complete shutdown of the Net, and many other facets of our civilization. The action that puts it over the top is a young girl in "a midwestern city" (Kansas City, MO) posting a picture of her kitty on a website. The story would follow four stories: 1. A soldier deployed to "a country in southeastern Europe" (Kosovo) who has to do his work manually; 2. The aforementioned girl and her family dealing with the social chaos. 3. A family in a smaller city near that city; and 4. a National Guardsman in the area who knows the girl because he helped run the website to which she was posting. A major part of the story would feature rioting in the city, revealed when the family in story 3 sees the glow from the city at night, then remembers that the power is still out (scene cuts to burning neighborhoods). The Guardsman pulls some strings (and a 9mm sidearm) to get his friend and her family out of the city (vague similarity to Will Smith taking the helicopter in "Independence Day"), while Guard units surround it to contain the rioting. In a nod to "Titanic," there is a scene where some angry city residents are threatening to charge a road barrier, and two Guardsmen point their rifles to stop them. One says, in a fake British accent, "Back I say! Or I'll cut you down like dogs!" (nod to the "Titanic" scene where the sailor holds back crowds with a revolver). His buddy looks sideways at him, and the speaker says, "Hey, I saw the movie!"
