I’m getting damn sick and tired of the White Supremacist Boogie Man!

WIRED Magazine did a piece on something called “Active Clubs” the piece tacitly banged the alarm bell because the clubs are connecting using the Telegram App. Why Telegram you ask? Why is the method of communication important? Because it’s encrypted.

There’s more information on the ADL website at Active Clubs

Active Club Network 01 1280

Antifa, BLM and Smash mobs use encrypted apps to coordinate their activities but you don’t see the liberal press making sure that the specific application is known. You also don’t see the kind of scrutiny applied to those groups as you do to something with the slightest whiff of racial pride on the part of White people.

At their heart “Active Clubs” are about activities as near as I can tell. To some extent they’re about physical training and health versus sitting on your ass all the time, watching TV, playing video games, or being a keyboard warrior.

To the right is an active club logo. In looking at this logo, I immediately see there’s a lot I agree with. Weight Training, Boxing/Self Defense, No ANTIFA, No Communism, No Drugs. I don’t know what the Spray can is supposed to mean. But when an organization’s logo communicates the organization is 83% in line with my core beliefs I’m going to want to know more. 

I applaud anything that gets us off our couches.

Especially when sitting on your ass all the time in front of the TV is a great way to get brain washed and indoctrinated  by a news media where the lies start pretty much after the words “Good Evening, I’m your host”.

Let me be categorically clear. I’m not a fan of anti-semitism, Neo nazi groups, or hate groups of any kind. I’ve spent my life trying to avoid being “That Guy!” You know, the White Supremacist everyone is afraid of. God knows where I was raised, I could easily have joined the KKK. But I believe that every human being has something to bring to the table and that we should learn from each other.

That being said, I’ve been taught as some cost that it doesn’t really matter if you’re a White Supremacist or not.

I’ve never had a white person, steal from me, I’ve never had a white person threaten me with a weapon, I’ve never been told to ‘leave a place or be beaten’ by a white person. I’ve never been surrounded and beaten by a “Pack” of white people. I have experienced all of these things at the hands of non-white people.

I’ve never known any white person that did a smash and grab, or looted, or set fire to buildings. I’ve seen this being done by mostly non-white people on TV.

This is not to suggest that White people don’t do these things, it’s a statement of fact that my lived experience suggests I as a white person am far safer and less likely to be a victim of crime or engaged in crime if I’m hanging with White folk.

Except that nowadays it “Feels” a lot like just being a white dude who wants to hang with other white dudes is painted as somehow criminal, or that it’s being a white supremacist. For fuck sake, just wearing a MAGA hat or expressing support for Donald Trump is considered by some to be white supremacist behavior.

Going to church, being pro-life, expressing a dissenting opinion at a school board meeting, not believing or agreeing that there are 147 genders, and being white, can get you painted as a white supremacist. The fucking FBI has issued memos that in effect tell their agents to be suspicious of otherwise law abiding citizens if they express any opinion congruent with older accepted societal values.

Proud Boys can trace it’s origin to Gavin McInnes who suggested as a joke that we needed a group of men who were proud of Western Civilization and that civilization’s values, and who were supposed to hold the line against the erosion of those values.

Proud Boys, as an Idea found traction not as a white supremacist group, but as a Men’s group who celebrated being men. The Proud Boys actually attended protests and rallies in this local area to help make sure no-one got hurt and everyone got to exercise their first amendment rights.

Enrique TarrioI continue to be astounded that some of the media calls The Proud Boys a white supremacist organization when the head of proud boys is Enrique Tarrio. Other media describes The Proud boys this way; the Proud Boys, a far-right neo-fascist organization that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States.

Note the WikiPedia definition says Proud Boys is Neo-fascist. Which plays well with the observed behavior of the Proud Boys in their conflict with and opposition to ANTIFA. This characterization allows ANTIFA to be painted in a positive light and the Proud Boys to be painted negatively.

I disagree with the characterization that Proud Boys are far right, or Neo-fascist. As I’ve written elsewhere in this blog I considered joining Proud Boys. I wanted to join an organization where I could contribute to the local community and where I’d be around other men who abjure the narrative that all Men are inherently evil, testosterone poisoned, misogynistic, rapists, that are responsible for all the bad shit in the world.

Hillary fucking Clinton calls pretty much anyone that doesn’t agree with her views Neo-nazis, Neo-Fascist (yeah those two are probably redundant), or if they’re white, White Supremacists. She recently suggested that anyone who supported Donald Trump might be better off being Deprogrammed. So explain to me again Hillary what Fascist is???

Thus far I’ve not seen one single article investigating how someone becomes involved in one of these groups or how they somehow get roped into the dark path to White Supremacy.

I rather suspect that I already qualify as a White Supremacist by the definition of the FBI. But I got here without actively trying. I actually feel like I haven’t moved in my beliefs, but society’s stated beliefs have moved past me.

I’m old, white, conservative, I don’t believe in more than two genders, I’m Pro-life, anti-ANTIFA, and Anti-BLM. I’m Pro-constitution, specifically the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments. I do happen to be gay, but because of all the other beliefs above, I’m obviously a self hating gay so there’s no get out of jail free card there. And to top it all off, I absolutely despise what the Biden Administration has done to this country. I think Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are both unfit for their duties and should be removed via impeachment as soon as possible.

The FBI should be breaking my door down any moment!

My point is, calling someone a White Supremacist, or a group White Supremacist, is as nonsensical as calling someone that you disagree with, a racist. It’s almost meaningless because everything the left doesn’t like or that appears to be a collection of people who have beliefs in opposition to the left, is…

(Check One)

  • Racist
  • White Supremacist
  • Fascist

It’s possible I might join an “Active Group” because I really could use some human contact and if that contact also meant I was getting fitter, or learning a new skill then so much the better. That doesn’t make me any of the descriptors above. 

I know I’ll join one of these groups and along will come the Anti Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center, they label the group White Supremacist and presto just like that I’m a member of an organization akin to the KKK.

In truth, I think White Supremacists are built, they don’t occur naturally.

In my case, I could easily devolve. There’s no reason to fight against being a white supremacist because no matter what, I’m going to be perceived as a white supremacist because I’m white, and conservative.

So if there’s no hope, no redemption, and no choice… I might as well raise a confederate flag and join Patriot Front! 

The sad part is that reading Patriot Front’s manifesto, I can see a lot that fundamentally I agree with. 

Our government is out of control
Our culture and society is being destroyed
Our People (Americans) are actively being divided and turned against one another.
We as a people (Americans) need to regain our pride, get back to work and remember what it is to be Americans standing together, choosing right over wrong.

I’ll have to read their manifesto in depth, I scanned it. I can say as a person that believes in smaller less invasive government, a quick scan of what Patriot Front is about seems interesting.

I find this interesting because there was a time when I’d have looked at organizations like Patriot Front as a bunch of lunatics right from the get go. But now, not so much. I’m starting to wonder if organizations like this are actually canaries in the coal mine.

They’re composed of folks who are just more sensitive to their rights being abridged and more likely to scream bloody murder about it. Maybe these are the people who are just not wired to “Go along to get along”. Does that make them White Supremacists, or White Nationalists? I don’t know.

I do think a bit of American Nationalism would go a long way to getting the country back on track. The worry I have about that is that it’s not a big step from pride in our country to asking people for their papers, and imprisoning anyone who doesn’t have papers.

Given what’s been going on in the past decade or so… I’m not even sure that asking people for their papers is a bad thing.

Whew! We dodged that bullet!

Kamala Harris has been appointed the Biden Administration’s Gun CZAR. She’ll be leading President Dunderhead’s  new federal office of gun violence prevention.

Cacklingkamala

Of course President dumbass would create some new office of blah blah blah. Of course his administration would take aim at the 2nd amendment. After all his administration has already tried to trash the First and Fourth amendments.

His administration is also engaging in destroying the justice system so the American Citizen won’t have any legal recourse to recover their rights…

Fortunately for those of us who believe in the 2nd Amendment, President Dullard, appointed perhaps the only person more incompetent than himself. Kamala Harris!

With her at the head of this anti-gun push, we’ll all be able to own .50 Cal Machine guns by Christmas. If we’re really lucky we’ll be able to have patriot missile batteries on our front lawns by New Years! That assessment is based on her stellar performance as the border CZAR. 

The gun control lobby must be apoplectic. They know they’re screwed but they can’t say anything about it because to criticize the Biden/Harris administration is heresy of the highest order!

That part makes me laugh! It’s nice to see them get a little of what average law abiding citizens have been putting up with since President Doofus, “bump & goed,” his way into the Oval Office, and honestly a long time before that in California.

(I never noticed how many denigrating terms started with “D” before.)

There was a reason that no one in California voted for Harris for President. It wasn’t that she was a woman, or a woman of color, or that she couldn’t keep her legs together. It was that she was a SHITTY Attorney General for the state, and a shittier Senator.

Putting her in the Senate meant that she wasn’t in California to keep screwing up the state. Beware all you lockstep Democrats… The people of California might send Gavin Newsom to Washington as President so we have time to undo his colossal fuck ups here in California. Yeah, think about that for a minute! Maybe the dumbasses we send to the House and Senate, we send not because they’re good but so that we can limit the damage they do to the state.

In Kamala’s case no one ever imagined that she’d be considered for Vice President. Then along comes President dipshit!

(There really are a lot of “D” words…)

I heard that President Dummy said, “If you need an 80 round magazine, you shouldn’t own a gun.”

I thought that was funny too. An 80 round magazine just means you can bag your hunting limit without reloading!

On the other hand, if high capacity magazines are measures of how good a shot you are, or should be, then perhaps we should limit the capital police to single shot weapons in time for the next insurrection.

It would be interesting to see the capital police and maybe the D.C. police defending why they felt it necessary to have 15 round magazines in their Glocks, in contradiction to President Dweebs assertions.

Fellow patriots, we can all rest easy! Cackling Kamala will be as effective in the Gun Control sphere, as she has been in every position the Biden administration has put her in. 

It does make me wonder if she’s any good in the one venue that has supposedly  propelled her to the top of the political arena. Is she well versed in the bedroom, or is it just easy to get her legs open?

Wow, I’m torn about this…

Recently a Judge dismissed a case from a sorority that was seeking to prevent a “Trans” a.k.a. a cross dressing man from joining.

On the one hand, I think this is wrong on its face and we shouldn’t be having a discussion about a transvestite being allowed into a sorority in the first place. I know I don’t want a transvestite bunking in my niece’s dorm.

The judge should have heard the case. But as is all too common these days, common sense and the law don’t intersect. Worse, the law and those entrusted to uphold it, either don’t do their jobs dispassionately, are too cowardly to make a decision that might fly in the face of the vocal but small minority.

But and this is where it gets really muddy. I’m pleased that Women are having to deal with the infiltration of spaces that were “Theirs”. Now they know how Men felt when we were told we couldn’t have exclusively men’s clubs, or salons, or VIP locker rooms for men, (if the women didn’t have one too,) even when 98% of the gym membership was male.

I doubt Women will get it, they’ll make everything about what it means to them, but never think about what they’ve done to men by demanding there can be NO MALE only places. Even our bathrooms aren’t ours anymore.

Ultimately, because I’m like most decent men. I’ll forego having satisfaction that women are getting what they deserve and stand with the sorority against the so called “Trans” agenda.

These girls are supposed to be going to college where they can learn something, they shouldn’t have to live in fear of some messed up freak.

If I was the father of one of these young ladies, I’d tell her she didn’t need the sorority experience. I’d tell her that the distraction of the sorority isn’t going to help her grades. I’d probably offer to arrange for her to attend a conservative private college.

I admire the sorority trying to seek legal remedy for the problem but that’s not likely to happen in our society these days.

I caught a snippet of a report about NY demanding money to deal with illegal immigrants.

I gather Kathy Hochul wants several billion dollars to house, feed, and provide healthcare for people who broke our laws getting here, then ended up being sent to sanctuary NY.

Okay, I get it. These people are here now and they’re sucking up tons of resources.

My opinion is, they should have been turned around at the border. At the end of a gun barrel if necessary.

As I was shaking my head thinking about the hypocrisy of NYs Hochul and that winner of a Mayor in NYC. I found myself wondering if ANY of these politicians actually hear themselves?

It wasn’t too long ago that they were criticizing actual border states for requesting federal funds to deal with the border crises.

These politicians called Governors, Mayors, and even ranchers, in Arizona and Texas racists because they were pointing out that their resources were stretched too thin and they couldn’t accommodate or ensure the safety of the flood of people. When Arizona and Texas asked for funds they were insulted and essentially told to, “suck it up” or called fascists for trying to add additional law enforcement to the border.

Now that the shoe is on the other foot, suddenly these declared sanctuary cities and states are begging for money and even criticizing the Biden Administration.

Uhhh, hypocrite much?

A lot of the small towns on the border have been bled completely dry trying to keep up with the onslaught of needy people. The quality of life for Americans citizens in those small towns has been sent straight to the shitter. And no-one gave a fuck until NYC had 10 or 15 thousand illegals.

We’ve seen illegals crammed into airport terminals and police stations in Chicago. The illegals are sleeping on the floors and arguably preventing the “Normal” business of airports and police stations from progressing smoothly. Chicago and NYC are big places. Meanwhile, the small town of 800 is effectively wiped off the map when 5000 illegals show up demanding to be fed, housed, clothed, and in need of medical attention.

There should be a lot of outrage at the irrevocable damage done to our border towns. There isn’t! On a national front, but I’m sure that the folks who call these small towns home are hopping mad. The dazzling urbanites never give it a thought because while they’re inconvenienced, their cities are relatively unchanged.

Then you have ranchers trying to keep their herds fed that can’t actually use big chunks of their land to turn the herds into. Why? Because Biden’s Administration keeps cutting their fences so the illegals can more easily enter our country.

Fences often are necessary to keep things in, Cattle, Sheep, Goats, Emus… The last thing a rancher needs is half the herd wandering off through a fence the damnable government cut.

If you think about it, in addition to the small towns and ranchers paying regular taxes that are sucked up into servicing the illegals, the rancher gets to pay again and again for every head of cattle lost or injured because the jackasses in Washington DC have no clue what it takes to put meat on their tables.

You’d think that morons like Hochul and Adams and that idiot mayor of Chicago would wake up and realize this immigration mess is not sustainable.

We all know Alejandro Mayorkas will not do a damn thing to stop the invasion. Mayorkas is an absolute moron who would keep piling people into a lifeboat until it sank, then say it wasn’t his fault.

Our “Border czar” Vice President Cacklema Harris is completely useless on all fronts. Hmmm Come to think of it she’s even more useless than Biden was as Vice President during the Obama Administration. That’s saying something!

I know I’ve been “Political” for a while. I’ve been trying to pull back but I caught this snippet while I was tuning around on the HAM radio this morning.

Uh Yeah, Sometimes I’ll listen to a distant country station on the HAM rig. Hey… It’s got a decent antenna and the radio itself has really good ears. That’s the “up” side, the down side is that radio stations sometimes do news segments in the morning.

That’s how I got onto this whole immigration disaster. I was able to tune out of the political crap quickly because I was heading for a morning “Net” where a bunch of local HAM operators check in with each other.

The morning “Net” is a lot more rewarding than listening to the news…

Hope you all have a great day.

Ya Know, I’d really like to wake up when the alarm goes off.

Lately though that has not been the case.

It’s a function of it being Summer and me leaving the windows open for the evening breezes. I fall asleep listening to the crickets and wind in the trees.

I might wake up if the dog shifts position, or jumps back up on the bed after getting a drink. I fall back to sleep quickly after he settles. There’s a security seeing his silhouette on the corner of the bed. I can tell in the darkness that he’s got his noise pointed toward the open sliding door. If anything were to be bold enough to come to the screen he’d be awake, letting me know about it.

The past few days it’s not been the dog who’s waking me up. It’s other humans!

Crazy Pants has taken to blood curdling screams sometime between 5:00 and 6:30 am. One of these days someone she lives with will realize that they can choke the life out of her and no matter how much she screams no-one will think to call the cops or report anything out of the ordinary.

Yesterday she started the morning by kicking or punching one of the men living over there. I don’t know exactly what she did but I woke to a male sound that reminded me of similar sounds guys make if they’re kicked in the balls or kicked in the gut. Moments later she was screaming about how lazy and useless, blah, blah, blah. After a few minutes a strained male voice was replying. There was an escalation of the argument and increase in volume then suddenly Crazy Pants was quiet. If he choked her, I’m not sure I’d be able to testify that he was in the wrong. She was screaming again this morning so apparently he didn’t choke her to death.

This morning the trash truck showed up at 6:15 am to pick up the trash that they’d not bothered to pick up on Monday. The recycling truck came through, but the regular trash truck didn’t. They needn’t have bothered, most of us pulled our trash cans back off the street because we don’t like cleaning up after the nocturnal critters that like to get into the trash. I’m one of the few folks on this street that still has bear proof trash bins. All the new bins supplied by the trash company have no locking mechanism at all. So raccoons, and other night critters attracted by kitchen scraps, sometimes turn the cans over, spreading the contents all over the street or yards.

There’s a reason the trash company issued bear proof trash cans years ago. But that’s been forgotten by some, and the newbies to town never think about the natural wildlife potentially in the area. It’s always funny when a newbie reports seeing a coyote and the old folks (like myself) respond with “And?” We’re expecting something more than, “I saw a coyote!”

Due to the tropical storm, we’ve had heavy construction equipment working in the wash up & down the canyon. This is the second time this year. The distinctive “Beep Beep Beep” starts around 6:45 right after the large diesel engines rumble to life. They even worked Saturday and Sunday so there was no respite from living in a construction zone.

Before they did the “Wash Improvement” we never had dump trucks, bulldozers, bucket diggers, or any of that stuff up here. Now it’s a yearly event.

I miss the silence of the forest, I miss seeing all the wildlife that we used to see in this canyon before the “wash Improvement project” destroyed the water source, habitat, and local environment. The construction sounds alone seem to drive away some animals.

It might have something to do with the time of year the construction starts. I miss having owls nesting near my house. Their hooting in the night was comforting. The red tail hawks moved much higher into the mountains. I’ll still see them soaring on thermals. Sometimes I’ll hear one snatching a small rabbit up out on some nearby open flats. I used to see them hunting all the time. They make spectacular dives, falling like a stone, flaring their wings out at the last possible moment claws extending, then bam! Their prey seems to just vanish.

Even the coyotes have left the canyon. It’s been years since I’ve seen a bear.

Maybe the trash company is right, there’s no need for the security of bear proof trashcans. The habitat has been sufficiently destroyed that humans don’t encounter their distant cousins anymore.

I want to be clear. This is not about climate change. This is about a man made environmental disaster committed in the name of flood control. This is about an environmental study that was incomplete at best, or the county purchased a “Rubber Stamp” at worst. There is still water in the wash. It’s just not accessible most of the time. This is due to the widening and flattening of the wash.

Before improvement, there was a stream about two feet wide and 2 to 3 inches deep most of the year, it only dried up in late Summer. This stream was fed from further up the mountainside. Up in the heights there are collecting pools that rainfall and snow melt keep full most of the year. Water from these collecting pools made its way down the wash splashing over rocks and down small waterfalls churning and bubbling until it made it to my level. The flowing water was cold, and clear. It provided life to all manner of critter that lived in the forest. You name any animal native to this region and we had it.

Walking along the rim of the wash in the early morning or evening you’d see deer, raccoons, sometimes bear, bobcat, cougar, and a variety of birds. It was possible to observe the phenomena of “Peace at the watering hole”. All the animals needed water so it was rare to see any hunting at the water’s edge. 50 yards from the water source all bets were off!

The “improvement” widened and flattened the bottom of the wash. The water still flows from the collecting pools as it always has. The collecting pools are beyond the reach of the county because they exist on National Forest Land therefore they haven’t been “improved”. The water flows down the natural creek bed to the place where the county “improved” things, when it hits the wide flat areas, it spreads out and soaks into the soil. Much of the water evaporates and for most of the year the bottom of the wash is a mud flat, instead of a place with abundant wildlife. Insects and small mammals can capitalize on what water is present, but animals larger than rodents can’t.

Man, once again makes a desert and calls it good.

Lately we’ve had a new “wake up” feature. There’s someone up the road who may be into those stupid wanna-be drift cars. Their only claim to being a “drift car” is a straight exhaust which is unbearably loud when the vehicle is going up a 15-20° incline anytime of day. It does seem especially loud at midnight though. Unfortunately, where there’s one wanna-be “drift car” others soon follow. Now there’s that noise several times in the evening and often right up to about 2 am. I don’t know what the hell they’re doing but the same cars drive up and down the street multiple times every night.

One car in particular leaves every weekday morning at about 7:30am. It’s annoying but I’m already up by then. I’d be up by then because my alarm is set for 7:15am. Not that I ever get to hear that waking me up if I’m home.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my alarm did in fact wake me. I made this discovery while I was on a cross country trip last year. I was staying in hotels and found that they were quieter than my home. Isn’t that a kick in the pants?

These are some of the things that go through my mind when I consider moving. The noise alone is reason enough for me to leave. But that begs the question where do I go?

Pulling up stakes is one thing, the question is, “where do you go that would be different?” I don’t want to trade one set of annoying issues for another set of super annoying issues.

I’m pretty sure I know what I don’t want, I don’t know exactly what I do want yet. Come Winter, I’ll have the house closed and the noise won’t be such a big deal. Maybe then I’ll have more restful nights sleep and sleep until my alarm wakes me.

Perhaps with more restful sleep will come answers to questions about where I go from here.
