Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William SaroyanThe inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

geeez2014Copyright & Fair Use Statement I hereby assert that the purpose of this blog is educational/informative in matters of politics and faith. There is no commercial purpose to this blog. There is no revenue generated from any material posted here. I am not in competition with any news source, including any other on-line journal, and I have no interest in interfering with any person’s ability to earn an income as an author, journalist, photographer, or artist. This website contains some quotations and excerpts from copyrighted material. These uses fall well within the copyright doctrine of “Fair Use.” Section 107 of the United States Code, Title 17, specifies the conditions under which, “the fair use of a copyrighted work . . . for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching . . ., scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.” It provides four considerations for determining fair use: (1) The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes, (2) The nature of the copyrighted work, (3) The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and (4) The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work. The use on this website of other material involves “criticism, comment, news reporting, scholarship or research” (a) The “purpose and character” of the website is not “commercial.” (b) The overwhelming majority of the material is the author’s own research and work. It is in no way a mere collection of others’ copyrighted works, nor is any material competitive with those sources. (2) The “nature of the copyrighted work” quoted is often “news” or “faith,” categories given lesser protection in fair use cases than works of fiction. (3) Most uses involve excerpts rather than entire works. Because the adverse financial impact on copyright owners is central to the purpose of copyright law, and the analysis of alleged violations, it’s relevant to note that, under factor (4), (a) no one in search of the quoted material would substitute this blog or book for the original source, (b) it is highly unlikely this website (or any material created from it) will ever have more than a de minimis impact on any of the copyright works’ potential market, and (c) to the extent it might do so, it would be far more likely be a positive, rather than a negative, impact (by drawing attention to the work, crediting it, and providing a source where it may be found). Finally, to the extent any copyright owner may wish, consideration will be given to all reasonable requests that copyright material be removed from this website. I will always endeavor to provide proper attribution to the source of another person’s work if I know it. If I do not know the source of incorporated work, I will state “source unknown.” I will happily credit any previously unknown source if their identity is made known to me in “blog comments.” -GeeeZ

I couldn’t run a blog. Temptation for excoriating trolls with searing blasts of world-class ad-hominem profanities with endless streams of obscene vilifications and derision referring to their ancestry, their personal habits, and their ultimate destination would be irresistible.
Years ago I wrote a li’l verse for him about them kindsa people when a blogger (Denny, at GrouchyOldCripple) asked me why I didn’t have a site of my own:
Odd things are said by the poor misled in their need to be perverse.
Many right-wing blogs are attacked by progs who insult and taunt and curse.
Their comment strings feature childish things in attempts to scorn and smear.
But each childish thought only goes for naught in an adult atmosphere.
Like playground toughs they shout rebuffs at those who are having fun.
And they make up names in their puerile games looking for that big home run.
But the bully’s flaw is it’s all bushwa and he’s not such a big deal.
Even at his best he is just a pest looking for a thread to steal.
Those who are mature can his jibes endure without stooping to his plane,
Which is snide and rude with the facts all skewed ‘til they’re no longer germane.
While the lonely troll makes his vain patrol dropping insults here and there,
The point is clear, though he just can’t hear, that the rest of us don’t care.

Blogging represents a slow interpassive release of political energy and emotion that averts an EXPLOSIVE release of built-up “orgasmic/ riotous/ rebellious” energy… like J6. When reading a blog, the “Chorus” effect takes over… “others” act for me so that I don’t have to act or FEEL the strong emotions that would make me explode.

Social Media provides a REFLEXIVE environment useful in moving the Overton Window towards achieving Neoliberal goals.
A reflexive environment is one where everybody has to talk about a certain thing. That thing is going to be very polarizing, and there are either going to be one, or two, right ways to talk about it. Usually they’re going to be diametrically opposed to one another, and that means it’s a dialectical weapon.

When George Soros famously shorted the the pound sterling in like ’92 or whatever, which led to him writing “The Alchemy of Finance” where he said that “Alchemy is not interested in truth like the scientific method, it’s interested in operational success.” The method he said that they used to do the Alchemy of Finance was reflexivity. The idea is that you start jinning up an idea and make the idea become true because everybody starts talking about it and believing it in a particular way. So “the current thing” takes place in a reflexive environment (often Social Media).

ALL SUCH GOOD INPUT! THANKS!
BOCOPRO: you included “Many right-wing blogs are attacked by progs who insult and taunt and curse.”
Before we met, MUSTANG and AOW will remember I had sometimes 500 comments (I think more, but I can’t imagine that…) on big topics which engendered BIG discussions back and forth…! THAT was when I allowed ‘anybody’ to comment….
Leftwingers finally destroyed my first GeeeZ and MUSTANG helped me go from Blogger, which I far preferred, to this, WordPress….. I’m so grateful for his help.
AOW was my shining example of a blogger!! She had a very busy blog, too.
ALL that to say I finally had to switch to WP BECAUSE of those insults, taunts and curses of the Leftwingers…..on BLOGGER, you can’t block people, on WP, you can.
I’d warned and warned my Lefties, hoping they could “Play with nicer toys” but they insisted on being nasty….
MUSTANG and AOW will remember DUCKY…..I’d warned him 1000 times.
When I switched blog platforms, it was HE who begged me to let him back 🙂 No way.
TS….you kind of hit on what I realized last night:
A BIG REASON WE BLOG IS TO LET OFF STEAM! WE TRY TO “UNGIN’ (AS SOROS INCLUDED!) THOSE MEMES THE LEFT SETS UP….EXPOSE THEM, DISCUSS THEM.
HERE AT GEEEZ AND OTHER BLOGS MUCH BIGGER AND BETTER THAN MINE, WE CAN EXPLODE! COMMISERATE, AGREE, POLITELY DISAGREE, SHARE NEW THINGS WE’VE HEARD ON ANY GIVEN SUBJECT, ETC.
AOW, I must admit blogging still ‘keeps me going’! but I SURE see your point and I remember how you felt at the end of your terrific blog. Hoping your hand is better soon. You’re missed 🙂
MUSTANG: You’ve been with me (as has AOW and, TS, really….TS were you at Front Page Mag’s old fabulous commenting platform with us??) since the beginning.
I thank you again for all the tech help you’ve given, and help with nasty commenters of the past, and being a friend.
FRIENDSHIP might be THE best thing about BLOGGING.

While all those other ‘issues’ you list are swirling about – and they are important – they act as chaff disguising the subject of your link. You can find the whole transcript of the interview at Dr. Malone’s Substack: https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/the-end-of-democracy-what-im-describing
We now have bad actors like Rick Stengel actively working to eliminate the first amendment. ‘It’s not relevant in the computer age.” He is not just some crank but was an integral part of Obama’s team. Wrote a book about it. We’re way beyond no transparency here. What parts of the constitution does he think are not needed?
Our once fine institutions are being weaponized against us in many ways, springboarding off the “war on terror.” Benz talks about one aspect in censorship. I found the details fascinating:
“There’s over 60 universities now who get federal government grants to do the censorship preparation work. …Tthey create code books of the language that people use the same way they did for isis. They did this, for example, with COVID. [creating] COVID lexicons of what dissident groups were saying about mandates, about masks, about vaccines, about high profile individuals like Tony Fauci or Peter Daszak or any of these protected VIPs and individuals whose reputations had to be protected online.
And they created these code books, they broke things down into narratives. The Atlanta Council … mapped 66 different narratives that dissidents were talking about around covid. They plugged these into machine learning models to be able to have a constant world heat map of what everybody was saying about covid. And whenever something started trend that was bad for what the Pentagon wanted or was bad for what Tony Fauci wanted, <b?they were able to take down tens of millions of posts."
And that’s just the censorship side. There’s a whole ‘nother discussion to add to the psy ops side. Dr. Malone covers some of that in a follow-up post: https://rwmalonemd.substack.com/p/delaying-the-inevitable
I agree with him, that “I am deeply troubled in confronting the reality that the world and version of political truths that I have been propagandized to believe over my entire life is merely smoke and mirrors.” The covid rebellion brought all this out in to brilliant, shining light and caught this cabal a little flatfooted. While they suppressed so much, the power of alt media contributed to open Senate hearings, slap down lawsuits to make governments follow the law, and other remedies. The problem is MUCH bigger than those efforts, but the counterpunch invigorated us and surely sent the cabal back to the drawing board as well. THANK GOD for our first amendment!
The unsaid part is God is still on His throne and none of this will surprise or overpower Him. We have an obligation before Him to stand for what’s right, and encourage each other in it, but also like AOW to not be destroyed in the undertow.

My take on why we’ve allowed extremists to take over is complacency. We’re so spoiled and we don’t pay attention. When there is a problem, we expect someone else will take care of it. We’re too busy texting and chatting to really care, as long as they tell us everything is fine, we like ’em and will re-elect them because we are gullible.

I fail to see that it is just talk, but I fail to see that it is enough either. I view groups like Heritage Foundation and the typical “save America now” solicitations as talkers and fund raisers, but groups like Prager University, True the Vote and perhaps TP USA types as doers. And they exist in education, politics, health, religion and not so sure about business any more. The concerted censorship honed in the lasts 4 years can be turned on any topic and any group. Media silence enables. But still Blexit has a following that no media wants to make visible.
We are up against a tsunami. We all have to carry around a lawyer in our holster, so it’s an expensive fight in money as well as time and spirit. Aaron Siri is brilliant. Lawyers for Alliance Defending Freedom, Pacific Legal and many more too. Seeking strategic battles that set precedents in the first, second, and fourth amendments come to mind. The rot is so deep. It starts in education. That’s where the left wormed into the apple. Perhaps even more, in faith or lack of.
What the left are good at is being obediently whipped into a univocal team. People who think with nuance have discussions over nuances. The left shouts you down. I never want to emulate that part. I don’t want our confabs to look like that closing scene in Damascus from Laurence of Arabia.

Well the clearest successful pushback was on all the health stuff the last 4 years. Not just Dems, but an authoritarian wave. They wanted to get people into “passports” under spurious reasons to actually position themselves for massive controls that the head of the Bank for International Settlements (Carstens) was glowing about publicly. Somebody thought they could just “do it” like the Chinese. And some officials openly pined for such power.
The Dems wanted to make it illegal for doctors in California to give any covid information to their patients other than the official line, upending the doctor-patient relationship. They wanted us to bow to teachers’ unions to keep children out of school, and then deny them education or jobs for not participating in an experimental medical procedure. We lost many battles, but won many more. Vaccine mandates were slapped down all over. Some people got their jobs back – people who carried good lawyers in their holster. Some school districts restarted education sooner. Freedom was restored to California doctors. None of this would have happened without the tireless and often coordinated efforts of liberty advocates. Prager materials are being used in some public schools. Don’t forget the ACLJ and their tireless efforts to keep errant school administrators within their bounds and many 1st amendment cases that affect peoples’ livelihoods.
I think much of the covid-time success was due to the arrival of liberals who spoke out and took guff for standing for liberty. Suddenly, the group of authoritarians got more isolated from broad thought. People might hear Brett Weinstein or Robert Malone or Mark Crispin Miller that would never respond to a fund raising book by Ted Cruz. Our “vision” is a return to the constitution.
If people don’t know their foundation they are too easily led into something new that hasn’t been tried but will work if we just throw enough money at it. That is where the left laid its foundation – miseducation. Like I said, it’s a tsunami. The left did not capture our institutions overnight. But now that they have them, they hold on to them like Putin cuz, like Putin, they are no friend of liberty.
I won’t be there tomorrow. Sick.
