Muck’s Minute #20

The Way We’re Going, Our Future Will Likely be a Silent One.

 

 

Hey, I know I promised that the next Muck’s Minute would be on immigration and some possible ways and means to handle the problem.  This came up first, caught my mind and I needed to cover it first. Never fear, more to come.

 

 

Can you believe that over 40% of a recent survey of millennial  generation members believe that free speech should be curtailed to avoid offending anyone?

Can you believe that the University of Chicago recently fired a lecturer for language used in a class for prospective teachers to instruct them what they may encounter in inner-city schools?

Can you believe that a Florida cop recently was suspended without pay for uttering profanity when trying to arrest a convicted felon following a robbery and “offended” a nearby citizen?

Can you believe that on a recent visit by Iran’s HNIC (Head Nut in Charge) that the Vatican bustled around and modestly covered all the nude statues at the Vatican so that the bearded, turbaned (obviously innocent and unaware of sex) Iranian would not be embarrassed by them?

Can you believe that back in November of 2015, students of Amherst University staged a protest to remove “Free Speech” signs that were posted on campus.  It offended them.

Can you believe that a law professor (at a sadly un-named university) called upon a limit to free speech because he feared that ISIS would use it to legally spread falsehoods, terriorist talk and such crap?

Can you believe that in Great Britain their “Advertising Standards Authority”, hence known as ASA banned an advertisement for a protein for weight loss because it featured a slick lady in a bikini might “offended” other women who claim they “body share the plump” (whatever the hell that means).

Or how about the same ASA banning an ad for hair products that “offended Christians by having Nuns in suspenders.  Good Crap!

Can you believe that IN THE USA, a Minnesota school has banned Valentines Day, Christmas and other “dominant holidays” to prevent students from “diverse” cultures from feeling “left out”?

Or how about how about the Louisiana State University fired a professor for using rude words in a class designed to teach future teachers what they might expect to hear should they be assigned to inner city schools? No free speech at Louisiana State!

Further, the University of Chicago now has taken upon itself to banish experssion the “invades substantial privacy” and to regulate the “time, place and manner of expression” on any chance someone, (read minority) might be offended.

Can you believe that a Florida school board banned uniforms so as not to exclude those whose religious dress (read Hajib or head scarves) from a feeling of non participation.

It’s gone way beyond what I’ve listed – which is just a tiny list from one day’s news.

These are the very tiny tip of the iceberg of how free expression and free speech in our used to be great country are being whittled away, one rule at a time.

No one has a right to scream “Fire” in a crowded theater for obvious reasons. Free speech does not include threats of harm (bodily or otherwise) to another individual or organization.  It is also in extremely poor taste to start rumors of disease, flooding, a natural disaster or some other rumor guaranteed to get a lot of people upset.

Political Correctness, however, has been taken to insane levels and it grows and grows like a cancer.

It must stop and STOP NOW.

Being so sensitive to another feelings to the extreme that prohibits language or actions that “may” offend them that our own free speech, celebrating traditional holidays and such is being threatened as never before and just reading a medium quality regional newspaper almost daily publishes yet another example of PC being used to suppress free speech, restriction of  legal and proper behavior (discounting those who are arse-holes in the first place who prefer to disrupt and destroy rather than get along or work in concert with others).

The fact is that acclimation of people of a different culture takes time and effort – as the Swedes are learning daily.  Their problems are surely to generate a vast backlash against taking in anyone of a foreign cultural regardless of the simple fact that the vast majority of would-be immigrants simply wish to escape death, starvation and extinction in their countries of origin.  They seek shelter, minimal food and medical assistance and an opportunity to work and begin the long path to assimilation in their new country.  Almost to a man(boy or woman) would rather have stayed in they own country but faced death, starvation and terrorism and so they fled.

Oh sure – with the refugees comes embedded  bad guys who hope to spread the gospel of Islam but they are a tremendous minority and that minority is even smaller when they manage to get into a (relatively) free country where they see the possibilities of making a new life. Terrorists fight because of two things:  They have nothing left to lose, so they lose it. They are so radicalized by their rotten religion that they cannot break free.  More females are joining the ranks of these religious terror-mongers but I’ve never heard of an explanation for this trend.  Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria seem quite adept in inserting female suicide bombers among fleeing populous then blowing themselves up to cause maxim death and mayhem. Perhaps if they don’t do as they are bid, they can look forward to a much harsher death than mere suicide.

I don’t know but if anyone has an insight, I’d love to know it.

All in all, if we don’t pull up our man (and women) pants, stand up and be heard in churchs, communities and schools, pretty soon our children will consider the limiting of free speech and the celebration of traditional holidays to be a normal situation..

Not a good thing for Americans and we need to stop it now..

Whatever happened to the melting pot and assimilation? Why are we allowing our country to be segmented instead of insisting on acculturation of all those minorities? PC means polecat for me.

Free speech on the verbal level is fine, muck. You have a handful of examples. We are a country of 300 million people, all running their mouths every waking hour. PC is dying, at an accelerating pace. Don’t sweat it. They can’t watch us all, but they win if they can get you to believe they can

Controversial film shown at VA high school slammed as ‘White guilt’ video

[imgcomment image[/img]

HENRICO, VA (WWBT) –

Some Henrico parents are outraged about a controversial video shown at Glen Allen High School. It tackles things like racial profiling and the school to prison to pipeline.

The YouTube video titled “Structural Discrimination: The Unequal Opportunity Race,” was shown to students at a Glen Allen High School Black History month program.

“Dr. King gave his life so that America would be a place where we are judged by the content of our character not the color of our skin,” said radio personality Craig Johnson. “Now we have poverty pimps being led by our current president Barack Obama who all they talk about is the color of skin.”

A concerned parent wrote a letter complaining the video is leading to tensions in school.

“Y’all are privileged. Get the — blank — over it,” read one of numerous tweets about the topic said the parent.

Don Blake’s granddaughter attended the assembly.

“They are sitting there watching a video that is dividing them up from a racial standpoint. It’s a White guilt kind of video,” said Blake. “I think somebody should be held accountable for this.”

None of this matters in the long term. The Truth exists, it isn’t some high concept or ideological position, it is the reality of existence, the manifestation of the physical world, the mathematics of Nature and the siren song of all life.

Mother of boy who was raped by migrant with ‘sexual emergency’ regrets telling her son “migrants need our help”
Rebel Staff

In a twist of fate, a former pro-refugee mother is now regretting telling her children that ‘migrants need our help’.

As we previously reported, a 10-year-old boy was raped by an Iraqi migrant in a swimming pool in Austria.

Now, we learn through The Daily Mail, that the mother had taught her children to welcome refugees.

MA- The Founding Fathers (smart suckers that they were) made a big mistake by embalming in the Constitution the phrase “All men are created equal.” It should have read, “All men are created with equal opportunity.” because all men and women are not created equal to one another which is plain for all to see and understand.

The Great Replacement Has Begun

The huge flow of people from the mid-east into France and Europe is in full flight. Many of these so-called “immigrants” are pillaging and raping their way across the lands in such numbers as has not been seen since the Crusades and middle ages. It is truly an invasion, regardless of whatever else you call it.

Obviously, not all of the hordes of would-be immigrants are “acting out”. As Muck so aptly put it, “….the vast majority of would-be immigrants simply wish to escape death, starvation and extinction in their countries of origin. They seek shelter, minimal food and medical assistance and an opportunity to work and begin the long path to assimilation in their new country. Almost to a man(boy or woman) would rather have stayed in they own country but faced death, starvation and terrorism and so they fled.”
Well, that’s perhaps true. But answer me this: why is it that there are so few women and children and so many fighting-aged young men flooding through those borders?

Let me repeat ….. a Great Replacement has begun; Muslims for Christians of all persuasions, Believers for non-believers. Which is probably the reason that Donald Trump is insisting that all Muslims be barred from entering this country of ours, except for those who are already here legally. It is not, as some critics insist, a kind of “hate speech”. Rather, it is simply good common sense, a first step toward protecting the borders from the infiltration by radical Islamists into the United States of America.

To the Pillory with Hillary!

Look–Dear Readers–WAKE UP!

This ‘political correctness’ thing is a straw man set by the TPTB up to distract you from the real issues having grave consequences for you and your family and your future. You are being confronted by the MSM, and progressive liberals with an endless litany of trivial, consequential, immaterial gibberish raised to the level of relevant importance in the name of ‘diversity’. Like a good magician they have distracted you from what is really happening around you, molding your perception of what is really important in your life.

You, dear readers, are awash in a quagmire of real, down to earth, problems that should be consuming a large part of your thinking, but…alas, your brain is stuck in neutral by these senseless excursions into meaningless expressions of your personal power.

You, dear readers, are like a person on the Titanic, after it struck an iceberg, deciding what suit to put on should you have to go out on deck. Go figure!

Expand your observations about you and reflect on the paths that will lead you to safety. Time is of the essence.

flash–I’m sure that ‘created equal’ had that meaning and also the meaning ‘equal under God’. But…the passage of time has rendered and expanded the original meaning thru court interpretations as something other than what out forefathers intended.

How is it, that, today, some are more equal than others like the pigs in “Animal Farm”? Thru misinterpretation and propaganda. The original meaning is logical and cohesive and stands without interpretation in the plain meaning of language.

For the New World Order to come into being, your sovereignty, your culture, your beliefs must be destroyed and the NWO take the their place in the hearts and minds of the people of the earth.

Be careful of that which you bend your knee.

Rise Up–“How? Lots of moaning and whining, but no solutions provided.”

You can avoid making the correct choices in life, but you can’t avoid the consequences of making those bad choices. The damage is already done. It was made by your leaders eons ago. It was made by you who voted for those leaders. You may have been misguided by the promises made by the candidates, but you ignored their lies and believed in a ‘free lunch’. It was a grand party while it lasted, but all parties end and they end with a hangover.

Rise Up, the solutions that you and the people crave is that the party continue on forever, that things continue the same as before. In other words, NO PAIN. But…that contravenes ‘natural law’.

If you or anyone can provide that solution, not suffer consequences, a Nobel prize awaits you.

Bernie Sanders promises you the moon, so does Hillary. Trump promises you a fence, promises you a return to the glory that was once the United States. What they have in common is that they are lying to you just to get your vote. They are telling you what you want to hear, no pain. If you believe their lies, you are living a fool’s dream; you are nonsensical.

There are solutions but you don’t want to hear them. Mother Nature will open your ears. Just as you can’t un-ring a bell, the judgement of Mother Nature cannot be denied. You will have your ears opened, and you can take that to the bank.

reposted from The War on America blog

“Supply and Demand
The law of supply and demand dictates that an increase in supply results in a lower price.

An increase in the supply of labor, results in lower wages.

If you want to cut wages in half, double the workforce.

Almost half of the US population is here due to the Immigration Reform Act of 1965 and its subsequent iterations. Add to that the massive amount of work visas, student visas, and refugee visas, and you have doubled the labor market.

Comprende?”

We’ve been screwed.

Migrants fear free Obongo phones may be used to spy on private conversation and travel. Welcome to the land of the free , motherfuckers.

Federal program that issues smartphones to new immigrants raises questions
But immigrant advocates were skeptical of the new phones, and the program.

“It is concerning whether the women are being tracked through their phones and whether their communications with counsel are confidential,” said Jonathan Ryan, executive director of Raices, a San Antonio-based immigrant legal advocacy group.

Rise Up–Eat a Snickers bar and you will feel better in no time.

Look! It’s amazing, nobody looks when I say that. haha

Foist, you’re taking things much too personally. I write for the dear readers. Why are you taking it personally? It wasn’t an attack on you, but an expansion of your question and statement.

Secondly, Why bother to vote at all? Your vote is wasted as I can only think of one Libertarian that ever got elected to high office in the last 40 years. But I think that you probably feel better having voted like all the other voters even tho nothing really ever changes. You exercised your right to vote, ya! And…I showed them.

As someone once said, “If voting really mattered, they’d never let you do it.” Someone else said something about doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results, etc.

Turdly, “What the fuck is “Mother Nature will open your ears”?” I didn’t know I was speaking above your pay grade.

We often use Mother Nature as a euphemism for God, however, I meant it in the context that consequences emanate from actions and that the consequences cannot be denied, especially unintended consequences. Opening your eyes and ears, references the bible indirectly. It means your excuses and denial of what is happening around you will no longer be so easily accepted by you because the dichotomy will be unbearable. It’s call a paradigm change.

Look, Rise Up, I try never to attack any commentator on this blog and I feel that you feel that you were attacked. Every person that responds here, whether silly or profound, is a valuable contributor.
I have agreed with many things that you have written and I value your comments. So…
