Unhinged Wokeness

 From the Blog piece..... Why White People Owning Dogs is Racist

"Shortly after the Eurasian people worked so hard to train and bond with wolves, most of them were shipped off and given to Europeans.

These filthy white savages took the work and credit from the Eurasian people and branded these magnificent creatures as their own.

The need for white people to claim premade or pre-discovered things is not isolated to just this incident. Countless times in history, whites have been caught stealing the work and talent of POC for their own success. 

Honestly speaking, we shouldn’t be surprised that white people would steal the domestication of dogs as well. Based on historical knowledge, this behavior will not slow down within the white community."

Has Justice Been Lost?

There is much banter back and forth about the protests, and I would agree that protests are justified as in the case of the death of George Floyd. The problem comes down to the muddying of words and this has been further mired by shoddy reporting or just outright propaganda by many media outlets. What many of these "journalist" refer to as a protest (outside of the traditional understanding of the word) have been more akin to rioting or insurrection. In the American political and legal vernacular, a protest is a right enshrined in the Bill of Rights attached to the Constitution of the United States of America and should be held within this framework...

   
AMENDMENT I - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE PEACEBLY TO ASSEMBLE, AND TO PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.

There is the rub, we have seen many peaceable assemblies petitioning the Government to address the issue of an extra-judicial killing of a citizen by an agent of the State. Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer in this incident, was charged with the homicide of Mr. Floyd and other former officers were charged with varying criminal offenses related to the incident. So, in the spirit of the Law and our system of governance the Government began the process of addressing the people of Minneapolis's grievance. But instead of people allowing the judicial system to work and for the people to diligently monitor the progress of the criminal procedure to ensure that no miscarriage of justice occurred something else happened, an abomination, an orgy of destruction and violence. There were many people in the establishment, both in media and politics who tried to channel this abomination into political gain. They claimed that this abomination was a form of legitimate protest, but it is not.

We saw many displays of mea culpa from persons who had no personal involvement in any form of "racism" they want to signal some sort of moral superiority over those who did not make the same displays. We saw persons of one ethnic group acting indignant when they were confronted by members of the ethnic group whom they claimed to be protesting for asking them to stop their charade, to the point where it became a form of bigotry on its own. We continue to see more violence and destruction and incivility from one American to another, and in all of this we collectively do not reel at the fact that all of this is injustice on a colossal scale. For all of the property pillaged and destroyed did not belong to Derek Chauvin or any of the other accused individuals, the people who have been killed or injured are not Derek Chauvin or the other accused individuals, the people who have been traumatized are not Derek Chauvin or any of the other accused individuals. What we saw was more akin to a Lynch Mob, and not a Lynch Mob focused on condemning an individual for their alleged crimes, but a Lynch Mob who have extracted their misguided vengeance on completely innocent bystanders. This is the most heinous form of injustice.

When small business owners, who were already suffering and on the verge of losing their work and their dreams due to economic hardship forced on them in the panic of a "Global Pandemic" are trying to save what little they have left from a savage mob, justice was vacated. Many of these small business owners probably agreed that there should have been a PEACEFUL protest to address the grievance of this extrajudicial killing. Instead they found themselves being assaulted, with some being killed, their shops ravaged and destroyed, and the last hope of recovery stolen from them. Many of the people who had their livelihoods destroyed were of the same demographic as those for whom the riots were supposedly benefiting.

There is more, a compounding of injustice. While Law Enforcement was using every available resource to contain the violence and looting it left a gap in their regular duties of preventative patrol and community outreach. Career criminals are opportunistic predators, they saw their chance to burglarize and rob, to steal and to harm, which in turn caused more innocent bystanders to be victimized.

So, this begs the question, who is going to stand up for the rights of all of those who have lost everything in this insurrection? The politicians? No, they are to busy posing and posturing and pandering to the victimizers who they see, either in ignorance or by design, as the true face of the protest instead of parasites who are capitalizing on a righteous complaint. Law Enforcement? No, they are to busy being betrayed by the politicians and vilified by the media, their ranks on the verge of depletion to the point where they will not be able to protect our society. The Taxpayer? The Taxpayer is getting it from both ends while being dismissed by the political class, who will spend hundreds of millions of dollars cleaning up spray paint while tearing down statues to placate a ravenous mob of petulant malcontents. Who will defend the innocent victims? It remains to be seen.

I know this for a certainty, the thing that has been lost in the purported name of justice, has been justice.

A Warning to All Americans

I would like to take a moment of your time to speak on a vital issue.

We are beginning to see a lot of great cops opt to retire sooner rather than later. This exodus will cause a gap in training new cops, we will not have distinguished veteran officers, mentoring and passing on their skills and knowledge to a younger generation of police officers. Police departments across the country will lose veteran investigators who are able to solve crimes, veteran community policing officers who interface with the public, especially vulnerable young people, lose veteran tactical officers who are able to contain violence before it impacts a larger segment of our population and when they leave, their skills and knowledge leave with them.

This "brain drain" will be as crippling to public safety as the brain drain during the Clinton administration crippled the military, and left us vulnerable to the attacks of 09/11/2001.  The rule of law and the support for law enforcement must be restored and maintained if our society is to survive and flourish. If it is not, chaos will descend upon us, and in that chaos we will see a rise of extra-judicial actors who will take matters into their own hands. Most likely these individuals or bands will operate without regard for the civil rights of those they believe are criminals and there will be atrocities and heinous acts of violence perpetrated on Americans, worse than the murder of George Floyd. And all of this because we allowed a mob of petulant malcontents weaken a pillar of our societal stability.

 As the old adage goes "nature abhors a vacuum", and there is a vacuum being created in our justice system, one that cannot be filled with "social workers" and "community activists". Our Republic is weakened, it is up to the American people to check that weakening by exercising their God given rights, enshrined in the Constitution that our Framers placed to guard against such calamities and which we have been woefully laxed in exercising. Vote this November, vote for a return to stability and the rule of law, and not uncertainty and chaos.

God Save the Republic and God Bless America!

Christopher Tolkien Son of JRR Tolkien Dies Aged 95

From the Tolkien Societies News Release

It is with great sadness that we can confirm that Tolkien’s son and literary executor Christopher Tolkien has died aged 95.


Christopher was born in Leeds, United Kingdom, on 21 November 1924. After a childhood in Oxford, he joined the RAF during the Second World War and was stationed to South Africa. After the war, he finished his studies and became a lecturer in Old and Middle English as well as Old Icelandic at the University of Oxford. After his father’s death in 1973, he became the literary executor of the Tolkien Estate and went on to edit and publish his father’s unpublished material starting with The Silmarillion in 1977 and ending with The Fall of Gondolin in 2018.

Upon hearing the news, Tolkien Society Chair, Shaun Gunner, said:

All of us in the Tolkien Society will share in the sadness at the news of Christopher Tolkien’s death, and we send our condolences to Baillie, Simon, Adam, Rachel and the whole Tolkien family at this difficult time. Christopher’s commitment to his father’s works have seen dozens of publications released, and his own work as an academic in Oxford demonstrates his ability and skill as a scholar. Millions of people around the world will be forever grateful to Christopher for bringing us The Silmarillion, The Children of Húrin, The History of Middle-earth series and many others. We have lost a titan and he will be sorely missed.

Tolkien scholar Dr Dimitra Fimi reflected on Christopher’s academic contribution:

Tolkien studies would never be what it is today without Christopher Tolkien’s contribution. From editing The Silmarillion to the mammoth task of giving us the History of Middle-earth series, he revealed his father’s grand vision of a rich and complex mythology. He gave us a window into Tolkien’s creative process, and he provided scholarly commentary that enriched our understanding of Middle-earth. He was Middle-earth’s cartographer and first scholar.


The Tolkien Society sends its deepest condolences to the Tolkien family.

Some of the Things That Will be in the Mutant Mix.

Guns and Gear : My FAVORITE topic. I have been an avid shooter, collector, and gunsmith for most of my life. I am not your typical "Gun Nut"!

Food and Drink : Two of humanities greatest blessings are the sense of taste and the sense of smell. We love to have our pallets indulged by delicious foods and our thirst sated by fine beverages.

Philosophy : The key to understanding all other subjects, especially the human condition.

Cars : Fast, Cool, Sporty, Luxurious, or Utilitarian, cars say a lot about the person, a time period, or society.

Music : Music is the pinnacle of human expression.

History : The only true metric of human development, which is being revised and degraded by factions for political gain. History is not clean, pretty, or cut and dry. The only way that humans can advance is to know how prior generations dealt with adversity or to learn from their failings and missed steps.

Religion : It is the right of every human being is to practice their faith unencumbered by others, especially the State. I firmly believe that, but I also believe in the Triune God and the Great Commission. I will tell people about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the path to Salvation, peace, and God's undying love, it will be up to them to accept or reject that message. I am Christian who follows the Orthodox Catholic faith as practiced in the Anglican tradition.

Economic Issues : A free market, unlimited by unnecessary regulation leads to the most successful economies. Though consumer protection from intentionally or maliciously defective or dangerous products is necessary.

Art : This topic has been a hot mess for the better part of a century. I am not what most people consider an art critic, but I will always give you my 2 cents.

Politics : My opinions on all manner of political topics, unadulterated and unapologetic. I owe no allegiance to any political party, PAC, lobby, or politician. Everything and everyone is fair game.

Culture : Take it or leave it, I will let you know where I stand on many aspects of modern media.

Vexillology : Nothing tells the World where you stand like a flag.

Literature : the dying art-form, quickly being driven to extinction by the rise of the Idiocracy.

Science and Engineering : There is real science, great marvels of engineering and then there is the politically weaponized pseudo-science.
