More wisdom from Victor Davis Hanson

Here.

A selection:

"For now, Donald Trump has proved that the animal cunning necessary to survive in the jungle of Manhattan real estate — duplicitous and venal politicians, all-powerful unions, incompetent and vindictive regulators, fair-weather bankers and investors, and dozens of special-interest crusaders — trumps the definition of traditional political wisdom: finding a young hip graduate from the right school with the right résumé to hire the right people to run the right sort of campaign.

Trump instinctively sensed that to win, Republicans would have to recapture the Rust Belt states, and to do that, he would have to campaign on illegal immigration, jobs, trade, and the economy. He sensed that populism was a state of mind and speech, not necessarily net worth. What good did it do for pundits to insist that a billionaire could not appeal to the horny-handed when the billionaire in fact talked and connected with the horny-handed? What good did it do to deplore the loud vulgarity of Trump if one’s own polish and sobriety could not hide the vulgarity of the carnival grifter, glib plagiarist, and loquacious fabulist? Is the local town paper in Wisconsin more or less fair in its coverage than the New York Times? Did the fact that well-spoken Fareed Zakaria snickered at the crudity of Trump suggest that he was not himself a Harvard-trained plagiarist?"

ps- When nevertrumpers read something like the above how do they take it? Do they curl up in the fetal position and cover their ears? I'm not going to belittle them and say they are too stupid to understand such things, but...how does one explain such venom and shallowness as the nevertrumpers display?

Hercules

An email:

The reason I sent that Hercules email is because I was thinking of those infants and children abducted or sold into the pedophile rings, and Hercules strangled serpents in his crib. I'd like to see a Hercules get his hands on the pedophiles.

One description said the pedophiles terrorized the children, then comforted them telling them their parents would come for them, then they'd torture them, then comfort them. They get off on the look of 100% weakness and terror in the eyes and faces of the children.

In the consummation when you show sympathy for evil and evil doers you are showing rebellion against God. That is why consummation ethics does away with 'love your enemy.' When you love your enemy in the consummation you hate God. Loving your enemy is a common grace era practice. Common grace ends in the consummation. - C.

Why won't the clerics tell you what I just told you? Because many of them are fucking, torturing, and murdering children too. The rest are scared of their own shadow when it comes to evil manifest.

Pedophilia in high places

These are two (now five) emails:

1.

You guys need to get up to date on this developing story of evil in high places generally known (probably stupidly) as pizzagate.

Here's a good video rundown on what is known so far made yesterday:

https://youtu.be/Z4OP--ZXOjc

Satanism is real, evil is real, as cartoonish as it seems.

Also, nobody seems to be talking about the fact that Julian Assange has not been seen alive for well over forty days now:

http://assange.net/

It's weird that this is not being talked about, not even by Alex Jones that I can tell. - C.

2.

All kinds of YouTube rundowns of this child sex crime activity. Here's another:


https://youtu.be/BUyHRC8ltR4


Guys, this answers much of the questions all sane people have had over the years. All the lunacy that has been going on is involved one way or another with this pedophile activity. Like, why didn't England go ape shit wild when it found out Muslims were systematically raping English school girls? Because those girls probably were being used by British elites as well, and then used as extortion to get them to do the bidding of the Muslims taking over that country. Why all the lunacy in government re Muslim immigration? They are all compromised by the child sex crimes. Why do all these government figures and institutions do whatever it seems the Devil would want them to do? They are all involved and compromised. Why child sex? It seems to be a great temptation for people prone to do evil to begin with. People who are just on the evil side of the divide. A big, big, thing is being uncovered here. Also, they compromise police and other investigative institutions. This is a big realization. We are all naive to the extent of evil that goes on. - C.

ps- The freaking out over Trump is part and parcel of all this. He's an outsider. He is a threat to investigate and uncover all this evil. I now suspect any prominent anti-Trump voice in the media. Especially the most deranged.

3.

Alex Jones just made this yesterday. Watch the whole thing. He obviously is wary of getting sued, so he isn't saying a lot blatantly, but he says he has sources that have told them everything:

https://youtu.be/Z9FkSn5q630


- C.

4.

This has the ring of truth to it:

http://www.inquisitr.com/3742033/news-is-julian-assange-dead-rumors-claim-wikileaks-founder-silenced-over-pizzagate/

Wikileaks had more emails exposing the pedophile rings. You can't confess to child rape/torture/murder for sympathy like you can, for instance, drug addiction. Once it's known your life is over, thus they will do anything - anything - to keep justice at bay...including nuclear war as we saw with Hillary's statements prior to losing. - C.

5.

Here is another rundown. Watch it for the photos. It goes fast. This activity is so blatantly evil and Satanic and so exposes a protected class of devils in high places:

https://youtu.be/yiLNkIiyKuU

Note: I've noticed in the past that you guys (including Paul) recoil at things that are blatantly supernatural, and I wonder if you are doing it with regard to this subject matter? If so it is a good way to see a limitation, or a boundary that you have to get beyond... - C.

Christians exposed

Evidence that 99.999% of self-identified Christians on the internet don't really believe in the supernatural is none of them are writing about, or want to write about (I've asked) recent discoveries by the scientific community that the Earth is rather shockingly at the center of the universe. Not just the cosmic microwave background discoveries, but also other discoveries concerning the placement of galaxies vis-a-vis Earth, etc. These are spectacular discoveries and Christians react like a herd of disinterested cows.

Taunting vs. insults

Many mainstream pundits clutched their pearls and/or whined and/or moralized when Trump seemingly insulted his way to the nomination. A correspondent has pointed out that what Trump was doing was actually more in the realm of taunting than insults.

What is the difference? I've thought about it. A newish book by Leland Ryken on literary forms in the Bible has an article on taunting that has given me insight. A taunt is really more of a public thing, actually more like a public proclamation. An insult can be public but by nature is a more intimate or private type of event. More gossipy, more reluctant a thing to be broadcast wide and far.

Yet a taunt is intended to be widely and loudly public. Because it's a battlefield move. And Trump on those debate stages was on a battlefield. More than the other establishment candidates who considered themselves to be in something more akin to an academic environment ('debate') or something similar. Somebody described Trump in those especially early debates as seeming like a Soviet wrestler taking on all the others and throwing them around.

What Trump's taunting of his opponents (rather than mere insulting of his opponents) did was to not only voice the contempt many Americans have for establishment politicians but to bring it widely out into the open. A battlefield taunt. Which also sets him apart in the act as one who is not afraid to cross a line, single himself out, and to take the backlash that is inevitable from it. There is also no hedging, as a matter of course, in a battlefield taunt. You're either going to back it up or you're going to go down in ignominy. Or clear cut defeat.

Now, the first move of the schoolboy - and just shallow - pundits and other #NeverTrumpers is to say something like: "Yeah, well, but Trump is too stupid to know anything like that distinction or to use language in such a way to be effective in a way his opponents didn't know about." OK, this is how people think who have never done anything in life. In the real world (of which I admit I'm barely a part of, though I at least understand it) where people build, create, invent, discover, fix things, grow things etc., it is a tacit assumption that a person is capable/intelligent/self-aware if they have done something that has been successful. Especially if they repeat it.

Where Trump learned and developed his rhetorical style who knows? Guys like Trump are often drawn towards things that give them practical knowledge and knowledge they can use. So if Trump has never studied the speeches in the Iliad or in Thucydides maybe he picked up some little book on classical rhetoric and learned some basic forms and figures of speech. Why question the intelligence or education of the guy in the cowboy hat sitting at the poker table who just took all your money? Only whiny, wet schoolboys do that.

Scott Adams has pointed out an extraordinary facet of Trump's rhetorical style (what the left now will probably try to mimic) which is speaking visually. Instead of talking about immigration in terms of numbers and crime statistics and so on he talked in terms of a "big, beautiful wall." Adams gave other striking examples which I can't recall now (and can't link because it was an interview on some news network). OK, I just thought of one myself: instead of talking about arcane laws to regulate lobbying and influence peddling in Washington he said he was going to "drain the swamp."

Victor Davis Hanson comes around one hundred percent

Victor Davis Hanson was never completely not a #NeverTrump. He was never stupid or shallow regarding Trump and the movement, but we can't change history and say the guy was one hundred percent not nevertrump. That being said, in this latest piece by him he shows he has come around completely, and that perhaps his reluctance to be all in for Trump was a reluctance to put all his emotion and money on what he thought was too much of a long shot.

As for myself I ended almost all internet correspondence with "Trump will win in a landslide." And if you subtract the vote fraud and all the votes by illegals from around the country, but especially in California, Trump did win in a landslide. Most important he got beyond the margin of cheating.

Note the open contempt Hanson shows in the piece toward the #NeverTrumpers, obviously many of which write at the publication that is publishing his article.

#NeverTrumpers, we won't forget your allegiance to the Devil

Here in this post-election column by #NeverTrumper Jonah Goldberg you see the establishment (fake) conservative "above it all" stance that enables them to call themselves whatever they want while still shilling for the Devil's party.

Here is the best response under the column:

Rick Williams
Anyone can sit out an election and spend the winner's term saying, "I don't own that because I didn't vote for either candidate!" That's the easiest, laziest, most selfish way to be "right" one can imagine.

When people who just stand there and do nothing say, "I told you it wouldn't work," no one listens to them, no one seeks their advice, no one cares what they have to say.

Go away, and stay away, #NeverTrumpers.

Because they're the Devil's children

Michigan Election Official: 'No Reason to Believe Large Numbers of Votes Will Be Found' to Change Trump 13,107 Vote Win - Breitbart
Breitbart › big-government › 2016/11/10
1 day ago - Woodhams would not speculate as to why media outlets have not yet called Michigan for Trump. “You would have to ask the media ...

*******
I'll speculate: they don't want to give Trump supporters the satisfation of seeing the finished product; or to see the electoral vote total exceed 300, which traditionally defines a landslide.

Feckless and Spiritless

Unsurprisingly the divide between regenerate rank and file evangelicals vs. unregenerate seminary graduate evangelicals is showing itself post-election.

The unregenerate seminary graduate types are angry Hillary lost, though they still show enough consciousness of guilt to couch that anger in straw man ranting on Donald Trump (in an era of people like Isis these self-identified Christians tell us Trump is the most evil human being that exists on the planet today).

What is wrong with the seminary graduate types? They enter seminaries shallow and ignorant; then get toxic doses of the cultural Marxism those institutions are marinated in, and that they have no defense against; and once out in the real world their self-image of being 'elites' makes them fortified against getting a clue seemingly for the rest of their lives. They stay feckless and Spiritless.

Comment under a David French (all hail) article at National Review Online

All you have demonstrated is that you cannot stop him [Trump] nor does he care what you or the rest of the Wizards of Smart at National Review think. "Witless Ape Rides Escalator" is what killed whatever influence hustle you might have had in a Trump Presidency.

#NeverTrump still dancing to the Devil's tune, and thinking nobody sees them...

But they can recite Star Trek episodes from memory

"The #NeverTrumpers showed elitist contempt for the American people and betrayed the interests of the Republican Party as well as our country. Magnanimity is not the appropriate response to this kind of betrayal." - David Goldman (Spengler)

Russell Moore, über Christian

"The church must be, as Martin Luther King Jr. taught us—the conscience of the state." - Russell Moore

So why do you give Martin Luther King a pass on his adultery and not Donald Trump?

Do you see why street Christians see you churchians as repulsive?
