Nationalism is Christian. Globalism is Satanic

https://younggospelminister.blogspot.com/2019/01/in-defence-of-nationalism.html?m=1

Biblically, nationalism is something that God gave the world as a gift to protect it from globalism, which is really just imperialism dressed up in modern clothing. Those who know their Bible well will know I am referring to the Tower of Babel. In this biblical account God is concerned about the evil that humanity can fulfil while they are unified as one people. “And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have one language, and this is on the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will be impossible for them. Come let us go down and confuse their language, so that they might not understand one another’s speech” (Genesis 11:6-7). In his mercy God dispersed the people into nations, different groups of people, to limit their ability to commit evil. 

We tend to think of humanity uniting together to be a base line good thing, a united humanity brings to mind for many the world of Star Trek, a utopian war free almost heaven like existence. But really everything depends on why humanity unites. 

So what did God do to limit empire? He confused the language of the peoples and split them up into nations. On our own, humans can achieve evil. Together we can achieve much evil. We can at times achieve some good things, but if you look across the history of empire, you will see many evils committed in its name.   

Let’s look at this another way, what is the opposite of nationalism? Imperialism or globalism, both of these are movements towards centralized power, in the hands of fewer and fewer people. We have been conditioned to see globalism as a good thing in the wake of World War 2, partly because many who called themselves nationalists did evil things.

This can be stirred up by evil people with evil purposes. For example, when Hitler stirred up hatred for those in Germany and Europe whose nationality was not German. But Hitler was not really a nationalist. He couched some of his arguments in nationalist terms. But he was really an ethnic imperialist. He believed the Germans were the superior race and should rule over all other peoples: this is the definition of imperialism, not nationalism. He was a German supremacist (some people will respond here that he was Austrian, but Austrians are ethnically Germanic, in this broad sense Hitler was German). Obviously, this idea is crazy and dangerous, everyone knows the Japanese build better cars than the Germans. But we should not confuse nationalism with ethnic supremacy. Ethnic supremacy is an evil blight on this world. Nationalism is God’s means of limiting the imperial pretensions of powerful world leaders, like Hitler. Who rose up against Hitler to limit his imperial goals and eventually stop him? Other nations.

Great article, comparing globalism to the heresy of the Tower of Babel.  I'd point out that also it is the same drive that led Lucifer to propose centralization of power and influence on himself alone in the pre-existence.

Nationalism, which is really nothing more than identifying with a bigger, broader extended family, is the solution to dealing with the temptation of Lucifer's plan.  It's not only not evil, but it is essential to combating the influence of Satan.

It's no wonder that the forces of Satan have tried so hard to destroy nationalism, at least within the confines of Christendom.  It's not for nothing that you'll probably note that they don't necessarily have as much problem with Third World brown nationalism, because it doesn't stand in the way of achieving their imperialist, Luciferian goals.

The wisdom of the past...

... we we have foolishly discounted and forgotten.  This gem is from Cicero: "But the business of the foreigner or the foreign-resident of a country is to keep to his own concerns; he has no reason to probe into things beyond this and by no means should inject himself into the affairs of his host nation."

Needless to say, pretending that you ARE part of the host nation is right out.

The Wages of Feminism

This is interesting.  Mostly because it's the reality for all too many people out there.  And a slightly lesser version of this for careerist women who get married late, hurry and scramble out a few kids before their fertility is gone, and yet still focus more on their jobs than their families is something that I've seen first hand all too often too.  Speaking of, as I did last post, lies that many of us accept uncritically.  How many times have you seen this lie plastered all over every media we consume?  The adventurous life in the big city!  Home and family at a young age?  Trite! Boring! Foolish!

Or is it?

Anyway, it really needs no further comment.

I feel like a ghost. I’m a 35-year-old woman, and I have nothing to show for it. My 20s and early 30s have been a twisting crisscross of moves all over the West Coast, a couple of brief stints abroad, multiple jobs in a mediocre role with no real upward track. I was also the poster child for serial monogamy. My most hopeful and longest lasting relationship (three and a half years, whoopee) ended two years ago. We moved to a new town (my fourth new city), created a home together, and then nose-dived into a traumatic breakup that launched me to my fifth and current city and who-knows-what-number job.

For all these years of quick changes and rash decisions, which I once rationalized as adventurous, exploratory, and living an “original life,” I have nothing to show for it. I have no wealth, and I’m now saddled with enough debt from all of my moves, poor decisions, and lack of career drive that I may never be able to retire. I have no career milestones and don’t care for my line of work all that much anyway, but now it’s my lifeline, as I only have enough savings to buy a hotel room for two nights. I have no family nearby, no long-term relationship built on years of mutual growth and shared experiences, no children. While I make friends easily, I’ve left most of my friends behind in each city I’ve moved from while they’ve continued to grow deep roots: marriages, homeownership, career growth, community, families, children. I have a few close girlfriends, for which I am grateful, but life keeps getting busier and our conversations are now months apart. Most of my nights are spent alone with my cat (cue the cliché).

I used to consider myself creative — a good writer, poetic, passionate, curious. Now, after many years of demanding yet uninspiring jobs, multiple heartbreaks, move after move, financial woes, I’m quite frankly exhausted. I can barely remember to buy dish soap let alone contemplate humanity or be inspired by Anaïs Nin’s diaries. Honestly, I find artists offensive because I’m jealous and don’t understand how I landed this far away from myself.

Also, within the past year I’ve had a breast-cancer scare and required surgery on my uterus due to a fertility issue. On top of that, I’m 35 and every gyno and women’s-health website this side of the Mississippi is telling me my fertility is dropping faster than a piano falling out of the sky. Now I’m looking into freezing my eggs, adding to my never-ending financial burden, in hopes of possibly making something of this haunted house and having a family someday with a no-named man.

I’m trying. I am. I’m dating. I’m working out and working hard. Listening to music I enjoy and loving my cat. Calling my mom. Yet I truly feel like a ghost. No one knows who I am or where I’ve been. I haven’t kept a friend, lover, or foe around long enough to give anyone a chance. What’s the point? I don’t care for my job. I’m not building toward anything, and I don’t have the time or money to really invest in what I care about anyway at this point. On top of that, society is telling me my value as a woman is fading fast, my wrinkles require Botox (reference said poor finances), all the while my manager is asking for me to finish “that report by Monday.” Why bother?

My apathy is coming out in weird ways. I’m drinking too much, and when I do see my friends on occasion, I end up getting drunk and angry or sad or both and pushing them away. And with men I date, I feel pressure to make something of the relationship too soon (move in, get married, “I have to have kids in a couple of years”; fun times!). All the while still trying to be the sexpot 25-year-old I thought I was until what seemed like a moment ago.

I used to think I was the one who had it all figured out. Adventurous life in the city! Traveling the world! Making memories! Now I feel incredibly hollow. And foolish. How can I make a future for myself that I can get excited about out of these wasted years?  What reserves or identity can I draw from when I feel like I’ve accrued nothing up to this point with my life choices?

UPDATE: I said it needs no further comment, and it doesn't.  But I saw a comment on it that I thought was great.  This is a bit part of what I've dubbed "bratty princess syndrome", but I should add that this malady is not, of course, limited to women.  It's just that our society has particularly encouraged it lately among women moreso than among men.

As a recovering individualistic libertarian, I now see that each of us is born to play a role in a larger play, each of us is a thread in a larger tapestry. We have relatively limited latitude regarding where our life takes us, and quite literally the only thing we can do of value is to make of ourselves the best version of "us" we are offered, which takes WORK. No wonder things are as messed up as they are, given that our materialist narcissism tells people that the WORLD is obligated to conform to our wishes, and we are under no obligation whatsoever to present the WORLD the best version of ourselves. Ours is what society looks like without humility before something greater than ourselves. Ours is what a society looks like when people have bought the false idea that Mankind is God. 

UPDATE: And another one.  This is maybe too deterministic, i.e., it's not hard to find exceptions that worked out, but that doesn't invalidate the vast, vast majority of non-exceptions that conform exactly to this pattern, or the vast majority of people who have ignored this pattern and had heartache of one type or another because of it.  And no, repentance doesn't mean that the consequences of poor decisions go away.  Spiritually they may.  Eternally they may.  But some decisions are with us for the rest of our lives, no matter how successfully we repent.

There is no going back. Stages of Life are DETERMINED. It is a delusion (sold on every ad) that one can displace life-stages to later ages.

• Socialization: Birth to 16/17.

• Courtship: perhaps as early as 16, up as late as mid 20's. 

• Marriage: late-teens (for girls), to maybe mid-to-late 20's. 

• Family production (kids): Within a year or two of marriage. 

• Nurture young kids: 20's & mid 30's. 

• Survive adolescents: Mid 30's through 40's. 

• Empty Nest with mate: 50-plus. 

• Grandkids: mid-50's on.

80% of the comments I read written by unhappy people come from those who have displaced these stages to later years, or they lost the gamble on pair-bonding by marrying someone full of deal-breakers (and their lives are detonated as a result.) There are no do-overs. There's no going back. The game won't be replayed. This is why "getting it right" the first time is crucial...but no one wants to admit this because it puts so many people in a "you're screwed" situation. Leftism means never having to hear that decisions you made are irreversible. 

The social structure that once helped young people find good mates while keeping them from stupidly embedding their own deal-breakers in adolescence is gone. Kids are being raised by the permanent adolescents intentionally created by a materialist, consumer-driven society. It's a huge Lord-of-the-Flies problem of permanent kids raising kids (facepalm.) 

UPDATE: Of course, reading the journals of Anais Nin and thinking that there's inspiration to be found there (other than feeling inspired to avoid that life at all costs) is a huge part of the problem.  Although this anonymous woman is able to draw a connection between her actions and decisions and the consequences, she's obviously not willing to disavow the ideology that led her to make those terrible decisions in the first place.

Secret combinations

While this is true, it misses the point; there is a conspiracy to create the environment where that happened.  Just because most people involved in the secret combination don't actually know anything about it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.  There is a group of conscious sociopathic conspirators.  Or, at least, there was, and they do have their successors, whether witting or not.

The Deep State is often portrayed as a conspiracy. In fact, it is better thought of as a blind sociological event. There is no group of conscious conspirators, simply people being groomed to have the same opinions or at least saying they do. 

What has happened in the UK (and the rest for the West to varying degrees) is the success of the long march through the institutions. That is what ultimately has given the UK an elite (politicians, mediafolk, teachers etc) who are overwhelmingly Politically Correct internationalists. And it’s those people who are at the forefront of the attempts to sabotage Brexit. 

How did it come about? A German student leader of the 1960s Rudi Dutschke, echoing the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci, put forward the idea whereby societies could be subverted from within by those of an internationalist bent who would patiently work to gain positions of power and influence. Eventually there would be enough of such people to change the policies of Western societies from national to internationalist ones. That point was reached in the UK at least 50 years ago and the Politically Correct stranglehold on our society is now complete. 

The capture of Western societies by internationalists has allowed them to permit and even overtly encourage mass immigration of people from different cultures, denigrate their own societies, traduce the West and its native populations generally and introduce gradually the pernicious Totalitarian creed of Cultural Marxism which has “anti-racism” (in reality anti-white racism) at its heart. The last brick in the Politically Correct building is the increasingly draconian treatment of anyone who refuses to toe the line—increasingly including the use of the criminal law and imprisonment. 

That is why Western politics until recently has been so ideologically monotone. Brexit was a revolt against that mentality.

Given that the result of this conspiracy has been the destruction of the freedom of nations that clawed their way out of tyranny over multiple generations, the decimation of the family, and concerted attacks on Christianity itself, one can use the Christian maxim of, "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them," from the Sermon on the Mount, and figure out pretty easily who the conspirator in chief is.  The Book of Mormon certainly warned us.

The challenge for righteous members of the Church, of course, is that one needs to be careful to figure out what is something that's nonsensical, untrue, and in fact idolatrous that we've been fed so often by society that we accept it.  Although this may sound boastful, I don't mean it to be.  I've taken two surrogate IQ tests in the past, and have come up with a score of 135 on one and 145 on the other.  I suspect that I'm closer to the bottom edge of that range, but still, both ranges are between +2 and +3 standard deviations over the American male mean (and American male mean is higher than most populations in the world; the global mean IQ is almost an entire standard deviation lower than that, and that lower portion is projected to grow, especially as the sub-Saharan African population balloons to become a much more sizable component of the population. (As an aside, I don't actually think that that's going to happen, because there are loads of signs that the current trend is about to change, but be that as it may; the current trend is still the current trend.)  In other words; I'm pretty smart, all things considered.  And yet, even I really struggled with figuring some of that out.  Sometimes, I accepted cognitive dissonance and just shelved those questions to the back of my mind where I saw inconsistencies between two ideas that obviously contradicted, or between what I was told reality was and what observed reality appeared to be.  But sometimes, I didn't even notice it at all until someone else pointed it out somewhere.

Most other people I talk to are behind the curve on this.  They aren't putting two and two together and figuring out that the answer we've been told is correct isn't actually correct.  And honestly, most of them aren't curious enough to even wonder about it either.

So the passive conspiracy to spread misinformation and lies and pass it off as received truth continues relatively unabated.  What will it take to make a change?  Well, Trump is a good start, because he's saying things on a routine basis that everyone knows are true down at some level in their psyche, but which they've repressed.  Getting it out in the open means that it can be openly discussed, and the framework of covering up the truth with lies gets observably weaker.

But most people won't accept reality until they run face-first into it at top speed.  Even then, as the bizarre case of the idolatrous, hateful Amanda Kijera shows, running face-first into the wall of reality isn't always enough to get you to drop toxic, hateful lies that they've built their identity around.

But the combination of 1) reality intruding on our delusions, and 2) mass zeitgeist turning away from the delusions, creating a social atmosphere in which the delusions are no longer the popular thing to parrot, will eventually restore some sanity.  Either that or our people will just disappear like the Imperial Romans, so our foolish ideas will be dead along with us.

Israeli border wall

Completed in 2012, the 200 km wall along the Egyptian border cut illegal immigration to zero. 

What I want for America is exactly what Israel already has for itself, and which America once had for itself as well.

The military-industrial complex

If you are in a place that is not your home, there is but one way to "win" permanently: exterminate the native populace down to their goldfish swimming in the kids' bedroom. Eliminate their DNA from the human genome.  Given that this level of commitment is beyond what Americans will openly tolerate (notwithstanding a blind eye turned to when agents do it for "us," e.g., East Timor), it reveals that all foreign invasions are something other than what they're called.

The USA Empire is a first.

It is the first empire in history where the goal of foreign entanglements was not to seize wealth abroad and carry it home, the goal in each and every case was/is to create a rationalization for LOOTING THE US GENERAL PUBLIC in favor of politically-connected industries, whose managers then provide kickbacks in the form of cushy jobs, campaign donations and sometimes open bribery.

• Save the planet.
• Feed the starving Africans.
• Make the world Safe for Democracy.
• Eliminate WMD's.

Each. And. Every. Case. Peel it far enough and you'll discover it's US taxpayers paying owners of US corporations and the latter paying their bought-and-paid-for politicians.  That's because for the first time in human history, the "enemies" have nothing worth looting. So war becomes an excuse to loot home.

The military doesn't defend the USA. It exists exclusively as a vehicle to funnel money from the US Treasury to businesses that supply war materiel, or as a means of punishing any foreign nation that doesn't heed the approved US/multinational corporate market-access or negotiated-price demands.

Soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. Nothing but pawns, treated as expendables.  One of the lies that has been hammered into our heads is that military service overseas is defense of the USA. It stings to realize that so many lives and so much money has been wasted on empire while the homeland is overrun. Invade the world. Invite the world. Foreign Aid to the world outside the border. Welfare to the world inside the border. 21+ trillion in debt and still the party goes on.

Given that the military only has one job: to defend the US against foreign invasion, and it not only fails to do so, but is complicit in the looting of the American taxpayer while allowing the worst invasion in the history of the human race to take place, it should be immediately defunded and disbanded, and defense of the border should be given to local volunteer militias.

As, somewhat ironically given how radical that will sound to the ignorant, the Founding Fathers intended.

Some recent Facebook posts

Today's my birthday, so after I say thanks to everyone who says Happy Birthday to me, I'll probably go dark again and disappear.  Maybe even cancel my account for good.  In fact, I'll probably at least deactivate it now.

 But I've been going a little crazy commenting on current events, which are, of course, dominated by discussions on the Wall and immigration.  Here's a sampling of what I've said and some links I've posted.

See it here before Twitter takes it down, along with the rest of the media blackout. 

Don't worry, they're just white people. Coming soon to a "Western" nation near you, too.  Can you imagine if Trump had done this to BLM, or some La Raza protest? 

America is already over ONE THIRD Fake American, and NONE of those Fake Americans are assimilating into American values. America has a very hard future ahead of it. Civil War is almost certainly inevitable. Fracturing and dismemberment of the country is almost certainly inevitable. Race war and ethnic cleansing is almost certainly inevitable (to the extent that it isn't already happening. Read some Colin Flaherty sometime.) 

And what do Americans do? Mostly, they still virtue signal that the EXACT CAUSES of the upcoming inevitable misery are still good and need to be maintained. Diversity is still our strength, and if we build the wall, we need to make sure it has a big gate! (Actually, all it needs is a one-way chute). And they're putting Steve King in a dunce cap for saying things that are obviously true. And the Senate came within a hair of passing a bill that would have destroyed freedom of speech with regards to Israel. Republicans, who should be our champions against the hateful nihilism of the Left, still trip over their own feet virtue signaling about how they're the party of that corrupt imperialist Lincoln, and how they completely destroyed the First Amendment guaranteed right of association in the name of "Civil Rights"—never mind that that exact same precedent is being used now to destroy our First Amendment guaranteed right to free speech under the dishonest label of "hate speech" or our First Amendment guaranteed right of religious freedom under various diversity and civil rights laws. Exactly as Satan planned, and as Ezra Taft Benson warned. Civil rights was a ravenous wolf in sheep's clothing, and even now as we're seeing its disastrous consequences, most are unwilling to call it out for the fraud that it is. Nero fiddling while Rome burns isn't an adequate metaphor anymore. All of Rome had to first have literally started the fires, and then gathered with Nero in a gigantic string concerto while their homes, their families, their people and their very civilization turned to ashes before their eyes, because that's exactly what has happened to America during my lifetime. 

We are a twice-conquered people. First, the rapacious, dishonest, neurotic North conquered the South for economic Imperialism and came up with an after-the-fact just-so story about Emancipation to justify it to future generations. More recently, even the North has been conquered by a Hebro-phile, hostile and malicious aristocracy who have pillaged and raided our economic posterity and castigated and flagellated us for so long that most Americans think that it's actually a virtue to hate your own people, your own culture, and your own civilization. 

And it's not just in America. How much self-loathing have the Germans have heaped on them for three generations? How self-hating do you have to be to allow your country to become what Sweden has become? The UK and France are jokes of a nation, their elite classes hate the people that they nominally rule over with a vileness that even the worst stereotype of the slave-owners couldn't possibly have fathomed. 

Truly, Satan has been unleashed in the world, and most of us would rather keep our heads down and try not to get his attention rather than standing up to his monumental evil. Christendom is certainly under the Lord's rather obvious and blatant condemnation for our lack of fortitude, courage, and willingness to stand up and defy the Prince of Lies.

Crazy-Eyes Cortez wasn't elected because of her socialist ideas. She was elected because her district has ethnically cleansed anyone who would have voted for less punitive revenge policies against white men for simply existing and having created a prosperous society that her people could not. 

As usual, the media has completely missed the point. The point isn't the fall of the US into socialism, it's the fall of the US into alien hands. Who also happen to be socialist. Which should surprise nobody, because the places that they come from are almost universally socialist as well. 

The Media and the idiots of Conservative, Inc. are still trying to play ideology politics when the game has changed. The only politics left in America are identity politics. That's what happens when you tip over a certain threshold of diversity in your formerly homogeneous nation. 

Diversity + proximity = War. Every. Time. The path to peace is separate nations for separate peoples so they can practice the culture that they prefer and govern themselves according to that culture, in peace and without meddling from other peoples from without. This is why American politics is such a disaster. Too few Americans are actually involved in it, and those that are are typically rootless, soul-less cosmopolitans who hate their own people and disavow them and castigate them and flagellate them, all so that they can extract their wealth for their Cloud People cronies.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/01/15/democratic-senators-trash-ocasio-cortez-flavor-of-the-month-crazy-policies/?

I'm pretty sure I've posted this before, but here's a quote about this particular Democortez electoral result: 

"This is the first national example of a political development I predicted back in 2010 and declared to have begun in 2016 when Somali immigrant and activist Ilhan Omar defeated southeast Minneapolis's longtime Jewish state representative, Phyllis Khan, in the DFL primary. Omar went on to easily win the general election, defeating Republican Abdimalik Askar with 80.6 percent of the vote, to become the first Somali legislator in the United States that November. 

"Joe Crowley is a poster boy for second- and third-wave immigration, being the son of an Irish-American father and an immigrant mother from Northern Ireland, and is one of the last remaining cogs of the once-formidable, now-fading Irish Catholic political machine. But the transformation of U.S. population dynamics that once worked in favor of the Jewish and Irish immigrants at the expense of American posterity is now working against them. Jewish and Irish politicians are now being unseated by their African, Hispanic, and Asian replacements, and this process is inevitable because the scale and sources of the latest immigration wave utterly dwarf those of its predecessors. 

"Even if every single Irishman and woman in Ireland and every Jewish Israeli moved to the USA tomorrow, it would not come close to balancing the demographic power that now favors the fourth-wave immigrants. And what is alarming the likes of Jordan Peterson and other members of the so-called Reasonable Left is that fourth-wave immigration politics are considerably to the ideological left of their predecessors, and unlike those predecessors, the fourth-wave immigrants see no point in even pretending to value American history and tradition while they set about further transforming the land that used to be America to their liking. 

"Note that the results were not even close. That was a near-landslide in favor of Ocasio-Cortez over one of the most powerful incumbent Democratic Congressmen, which suggests that this newly discovered electoral power possessed by the fourth-wave immigrants is already stronger than anyone previously suspected."

But go ahead; keep virtue-signaling about how that Wall that you now find yourself in favor of needs to have a big, beautiful gate. It's not about immigration, it's about the Rule of Law! I have no doubt that your prosperous posterity living in the somehow prosperous Diversitopia that once was America will thank you for giving away their inheritance for the pottage of being able to virtue-signal today. It built character! They wouldn't be the men and women that they are today without your sacrifice!

For the Left especially, immigration is a debate that has nothing whatsoever to do with facts, and that's exactly how they want it. The Left has become a weird spiritual cultic movement where hating white people and their civilization is just part of their identity and faith, so destroying it is as natural as breathing to them. Nothing will ever change that. Conservatives who patiently line up facts just to get absolutely nowhere need to wake up to that and quit wasting their time and coming up with another strategy before Western civilization has gone the way of Roman or Egyptian civilization. 

Of course, part of Western civilization has always been Christianity, which should be your big clue on who the cult of Leftism really worships, even if many Churchians on the Left are in denial of it. 

UPDATE: Isn't it curious exactly how equally cult-like Conservative Inc.'s response to the Left has been, though? I mean, really—it shouldn't be hard to simply dismiss the claim that it's racist and immoral to tell people to stay in their own homes and leave ours alone. It's so profoundly stupid, in fact, that it should be dismissed with scorn and contempt for it's unbelievable idiocy. And yet, what does the Right do? Accept's the framing of the issue by the Left and frantically tries to defend themselves and virtue-signal that they're not what the Left says that they are.

Notice the dishonesty in this article, suggesting that feedback was mixed between good and bad. In reality, the negative vs positive feedback is MORE than 10 to 1. 

I'm very glad that I've used Schick razors for many years now. Not that I suspect that Schick is any better, because the gynarcho-tyranny of hatred rules almost all of the government and corporate managerial caste entirely, and their one defining fanatical religious identity is their hatred of men. Especially white men. ESPECIALLY white, Southern, Christian men. 

Look, it's pretty simple. We buy razors to shave our beards. Not castrate ourselves.

https://www.boston.com/news/business/2019/01/14/gillette-ad-men-me-too?

It's galling to see how far we've fallen as we've allowed a toxic, dysfunctional caste to attempt to rule over us. Americans tend to be somewhat unruly and resent being ruled over (hence the strong animus to dilute or even completely replace us in our own homeland) but we've been sedated and complacent for a long time. It's hard to imagine getting back to America of the 1980s even, to say nothing of peak America 1.0 during the first half of the 1800s.
