Joe Biden Versus The Bogeyman, The Nuclear War That Wasn’t

Bill Collier June 24, 2021

Is there a monster under Joe Biden’s bed threatening to water the tree of liberty with a human sacrifice or something? Will Biden’s threat to nuke said bogeyman materialize or is this a nuclear war that wasn’t and never would have been?

More concerning, does Joe Biden, our loudmouth President, really want a police state run by a one-party dictatorship or something like that? Is his recent over-the-top speech on “gun violence” and a bogeyman threatening to overthrow the government anything more than a reprehensible but meaningless sop, mere words, aimed at appeasing a woke communist base?

Let’s be clear, the bogeyman crouching under Joe Biden’s bed really has him scared or angry and he is determined to save us all from this beast! The solution is to upend the Bill of Rights while claiming to enforce the Constitution. And Joe is ready to literally “go nuclear.”

What has really happened?

Crying “F the Police” and demanding that the police be defunded or disbanded, Democrats in their cities of dystopian wokeness have created a climate that foments massive crime and violence. Democrats, not anyone else, created the surge in crime by refusing to persecute violent criminals.

As the results of this woke retreat from law and order are now playing out on the streets, not in the rest of the country but only in their teeming citdadels which they rule as one-party tin-horn dictatorships, real people are being robbed, beaten, and murdered.

Now comes one President Joe Biden threatening to use nuclear weapons and F-15’s against Americans who look askance at his (alleged) massive power grab. He threatens to eliminate the right to self-preservation even while claiming he isn’t violating the Constitution but “enforcing it.” Such outlandish, extreme language is best left to angry Marxist bloggers whose grasp on reality is tenuous, not the President of the United States. The fact he isn’t serious doesn’t matter, the fact he is unhinged does matter!

Biden says that the solution to the surge in crime in Democrat-run hell-holes like New York City, Portland, Seattle, and Baltimore, is to rein in the right to self-preservation for the rest of America even as it has been undermined in these urban satrapies! Disarming someone in a city or county not run as a leftwing authoritarian cesspool won’t stop the surge in crime, it will just make America less free.

The solution to the surge in crime is to prosecute the crimianls and purge these cities of their idiotic woke totalitarians whose incompetence is legendary. Criminals and the politicians who enable them should face real accountability.

But President Biden is speaking as if he is ONLY President to the woke totalitarians, not to the rest of America. His only concern and loyalty, based on this weird speech, is to his political party, not the US Constitution or any citizen who isn’t a member of his totalitarian party’s coalition of special interests.

President Biden isn’t a President who adheres to the oath of office or one who evenly serves all Americans. He threatens Americans with nuclear weapons and F-15’s for invoking the language of our founders in reference to would-be dictatorships. If he has no designs “evincing” tyranny, why should he worry about this?

Biden said that those who speak against the government and say the tree of liberty must be watered with blood, over the issue of the second amendment, would not stand a chance against nuclear weapons or F-15’s. Again, does he wish to create a dictatorship? If someone says “all bank robbers deserve jail time” and you aren’t a bank robber, why would this offend you? Why is Joe so offended at people rhetorically popping off about dictatorships?

Never mind that his feigned outrage is directed at a fake threat that doesn’t exist. Whoever these monsters are that he thinks are ready to overthrow the government but for its nuclear weapons and F-15’s, they really only exist in his feverish, warped imagination. Very often, as in virtually 100% of the time, when anyone quotes that famous line about the blood of tyrants and the tree of liberty, it is literally nothing more than a rhetorical flourish.

To pretend otherwise and use that to insult and threaten people is simply inexcusable.

This kind of irresponsible and violent rhetoric is far, far worse than anything Trump actually said or than anything the DNC Press accused him of saying. This is next level extremism of the sort that provokes violence and hatred.

The greatest threat to domestic peace, it seems, is Biden who has no problem invoking massive death and destruction as a threat against dissent from his woke totalitarian power grab. He is encouraging an unhinged lunatic fringe who think they have a duty and a right to use force to implement their woke communist revolution. Thankfully, these people are as feckless, toothless, and incompetent as Biden.

Fortunately, and to bring some balance, this isn’t much more than smoke and mirrors, a sop to his woke totalitarian base, the woke communist vanguard. His chest-besating is morally reprehensible and extremely divisive, but his actions are pathetic and meaningless. The outrage here is the words invoked by a President sounding like a depraved, delusional, lunatic who imagines some conspiracy by a certain group of Americans to launch a white supremacist revolution or something equally unreal.

Scapegoating millions of Americans whose only offense is dissenting from his woke communist base and their constant angry verbal assaults on the Bill of Rights is something no President should ever do. It is immoral and delusional and renders him unfit for office.

Joe Biden is a fraud. He is a fraud to his woke communist base, whose insane demands and shrill calls for more power he likely has no intention to heed and to average Americans who bristle at his rhetoric and take his meaningless ranting as serious intention.

Joe Biden isn’t coming for your guns, because he can’t and nobody knows if he really wants to or is just playing to his woke communist base to keep them in the coalition that got him into power. But just because he is most likely just spouting off to deflect from the real crisis caused by his own Party and its woke totalitarian policies in major cities, doesn’t give him a pass for having invoked such radical and anti-American rhetoric.

Stronk Beats Hedgefund!

Bill Collier June 23, 2021

The hedge fund that bet against Gamestop, shorting the stock, only to see the #stronk campaign push the price upwards, has gone bellyup. White Square Capital out of London is selling all assets, in managed over $400 million, and returning what remains to investors.

Timcast covered the amazing story on their YouTube channel. The meme stock campaign evidently contributed to a double-digit loss for the fund as average investors waged guerilla economic warfare on the hedge funds. The naked shorting of stocks, using leveraging, essentially rigs the game and amounts to pure speculation. But the “ape army” of millions of average Americans isn’t having any of it and are directly targeting these practices to counteract them.

Even more highly leveraged funds are also at risk as average investors connect and collaborate, share notes, and compare tactics. This is making the average investor smarter than the insiders, who tend more toward speculative games than straightforward investing on the basis of actual profitability.

The potential for rapid and wild swings is great as “the apes” and “meme stocks” battle the insider speculative games of the mega investor. But accountability for these unethical games that destory companies and ruin lives is coming and has at least come for this fund.

Freedomist Essentials: Enjoying Free Association In Housing

Bill Collier June 23, 2021

Free association in housing means you are free to choose who you “live with” in your immediate vicinity and it means you are free to form clustered living arrangements with people with whom you are related or have a fraternal bond.

The mutual benefit corporation is designed to benefit its members, a given class or group of people who own shares in the corporation while the corporation owns the assets and property used to benefit the members. We propose the vehicle of a mutual benefit corporation to provide mutual benefit housing, or clustered living, while preventing the abuse of this right to prompt intolerance, discrimination, and segregation.

Mutual benefit housing is housing owned by a mutual benefit corporation for the benefit of its members. Even if some housing is leased to the public at large, the profits are used to benefit the shareholders who may also, as shareholders, have access to housing. In the case of members, by owning shares they gain access to the housing, they pay only for the shares and/or actual cosgs, like utilities and maintenance.

A group of, say, 30 or so families who form an MBC could buy a condo development with 50 units, using 30 for members and leasing 20 to the public. It may be that the profit from the leased residences covers more than half the cost of the other 30 units occupied by members.

Such MBC’s could be limited to members of a fraternal order or a church or to people in certain income ranges, to people of color, or whatever. It stands to reason that an MBC would be able to limit its membership to people it serbes, as described, thus providing a vehicle for like-minded people to cluster together for close cooperation and mutual support.

In researching the law, it seems possible to have an MBC limited to a specific group of people on the same basis as fraternal benefit societies are formed.

The danger and concern from a Freedomist perspective is that, taken to extremes, this legal device could be used to essentially segregate communities by “race”, though we consider “race” a negative social construct. Imagine whole neighborhoods with “no Jews” signs and you begin to see how this vehicle for mutual benefit could become a cover for racist exclusion.

Clustered living is conceptually the aggregation of a few dozen or so families whose organic cohesiveness allows for very close cooperation without sacrificing individual autonomy or requiring a strong system of command and control. The idea of a group of such families and attached single adults clustering together for very close mutual support, and benefit, seems basically nothing more sinister than an extended family group, which used to be prevalent in most societies.

The issue of using this as a means of racial exclusion comes both when it is scaled behind a few dozen related or organically cohesive families to encompass whole areas and when people not considered in the “in group” cannot access housing.

Our proposal for such clustered living approaches recognizes the instinct and right of individuals to “cluster” but also recommends a limitation to scale while also recommending that even such “clustered housing developments” should offer some housing to the public on the basis of fair housing laws. Segregation and exclusion promote conflict and also tend to marginalize people, denying them equitable access to a basis necessity.

On the other hand, denying people the right to cluster together in such a familial way, whether as relatives or because of some fraternal bond, is also a violation of a fundamental human right to free association. A balanced approach, using an MBC that allows for clustered living on a reasonable scale and that also offers housing to the public, seems the best way to respect both sets of rights. It is also makes economic sense.

What is more, we propose, an MBC as a “landlord” will likely be a LOT better than a private landlord as all MBC members are shareholders and will be available to ensure their clients, those leasing from them, are happy.

We can envision a clustered housing development with 30 or so residences for members, 20 or so for the public, with some common areas for members only and some for all residences, perhaps some shops or a market area, and even facilities for a fraternal benefit society or some subcriber-based club or online community whose members live near the development but who aren’t residents.

Unlike traditional housing where you own the deed, in an MBC the corporation holds the deed, you hold the shares, but, on the downside, if you cease to gualify as a member, like if membership in a fraternal benefit society is the basis of membership, then you could face a scenario where your shares are bought back from you and you either move out or become a renter.

Nothing is perfect and within the scope of existing law and practical necessity, it seems an MBC that also offers housing to the public is a great way to honor our inherent right to free association and to cluster together while ensuring that nobody loses access to housing based on intolerance, bigotry, or discrimination. We therefore tend to promote this idea and would support clarifying legislation making it more clear and easier for people who desire to cluster together to do so. We also would propose laws that incentivize MBC’s to set aside at least 30% of their total inventory of housing spaces to serve the public.

People deserve to be able to form clusters, including through clustered living arrangements, that give them close connections for mutual benefit with people they are related to or have a fraternal bond with. The balance we must maintain is to ensure that in exercising such rights we remain sensitive to the rights and needs of others.

Philly Democrats Keep Disarming The Black Community

Bill Collier June 23, 2021

While Pennsylvanians went en masse to obtain gun permits, Democrats in Philadelphia, PA continued their Party’s historical record of disarming the black community.

According to the report: “While 62,737 more gun-carry licenses were issued in the state during 2020 than during 2019, an increase of 25 percent, Philadelphia saw a 19 percent decrease.”

Roadblocks and using the excuse of the pandemic to prevent applications from being processed were the means by which the average African-American in Philadelphia went mostly without their sacred right to self-preservation.

The constant virtue-signalling about the plight of “people of color” by the increasingly authoritarian Democrats is belied by this constant effort to disarm black people within cities ruled as one-party authoritarian regimes.

Without any real alternatives, cities like Philadelphia have become more and more totalitarian in their approach to the average citizen and the only way to keep the population from rebelling has been through election legerdemain (manipulation and deception to game the system), through suppression of basic human rights like self-preservation, and through scapegoats such as the “white supremacy” bogeyman.

Philadelphia, long seen as the most corrupt city in Pennsylvania and home to election trickery, “legal” or not, aimed at keeping Democrats in power, continues the centuries-old Democratic tradition of treating the black man as a commodity to be controlled and suppressed.

DNC Press Cover Up True Intent Of “Election Reform”

Bill Collier June 23, 2021

The DNC Press, so named because almost all major press are PR wings of the Democratic National Committee, are covering up the true nature of “election reform” promoted by the Democrats. A frank admission recently made on CNN is sure to be swept under cover by the activists masquerading as journalists whose “NPC like” parroting of the Party Line is an affront to any pretense of being a “free press.”

Crafting bills to gain electoral advantage, pure legerdemain (manipulation and deception to game the system), is not terribly uncommon for either major party, but it is also not considered ethical by most people. This frank admission that the bill in question, which would federalize election and which many fear would merely make it easier to game elections in ways that don’t reflect true public sentiment, has been largely ignored.

The RNC, of course, did share this, but the press have, predictably considering their partisan bias in favor of Democrats, brushed it under cover.

The Republicans shared this, but the press are ignoring it.

The anount of “legal” versus “illegal” legerdemain in the 2020 election will perhaps never be clear, but the “mail in voting” and massive last-minute rules changes, often implemented in an extra-constitutional manner under cover of the pandemic, 100% favored the “get out the vote” efforts of the Democrats alone. Essentially, this bill makes it more difficult to address any real or legitimate concerns, makes the election process opaque, and, as noted, only favors the Democratic Party.

This admission is likely accidental, gives credibility to its core claim, that this bill is totally about Democrats creating a monopoly of power, sometimes called a dictatorship or one-party authoritarian regime. Desiring absolute power through legerdemain and not through an honest and persuasive presentation of your ideas and agenda is far more of a threat to the much-vaunted standards of “democracy” than anything Democrats accuse their opponents of.

We should be careful, however, not to run to the opposite side of this argument to assume the Republicans are pure or wouldn’t do the same thing given the opportunity. The tendency of Parties to seek power as its own end and its own good, without regard to the welfare and benefit of most Americans, is all-too common.

The duopoly of Democrats and Republicans swapping power without real substantitive changes has led many to despair as to the efficacy of political participation. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

What may be different is that now the Democrats want to end the duopoly once and for all, leaving the path clear for some very real changes that may neither be wanted by most people nor to their common good.

It is no wonder the DNC Press are in a hurry to rush to the cameras to mimic every line from every Democratic Party press release as if it is objective reporting. Their activism and moral/ethical failures in defiance of any standards of a true free press remains a valuable asset to the power-mad Democrats.

China Vaccine Fails

Bill Collier June 23, 2021

Recent reports show that China’s vaccines, rushed to foreign countries in an attempt to offset blowback from concerns over the Chinese origins of Covid-19, are a stark failure.

Seychelles, Chile, Bahrain and Mongolia, which all received Chinese vaccines, are now experiencing outbreaks of the virus almost as if the vaccinations hadn’t occurred at all.

While most reporting is focused on the ineffectiveness of the Chinese vaccines, not covered are any concerns of other problems with these vaccines. If the vaccine is useless in regards to Covid-19 is it also harmful to the people who took it? Over 50% of the people in these four countries, for instance, have received Chinese vaccines. Is this a potential health crisis beyond the issue of ineffectiveness?

Aside from this there remains the issue of trust in these governments and of most governments. When a state decrees or promotes something like a vaccine and it turns out to be ineffective, the consequences to people are not just a loss of protection from a virus, but a loss of faith on government.

As vaccines are promoted with mass peer pressure or even forced on people by the state, concerns emerge as to the veracity of the state’s wisdom. While most people tend to trust the vaccines, as they did in these four countries, hesitancy remains a powerful drag on full compliance with state promotions of the jab.

Getting something like this wrong, especially when the potential negative impact cannot be known for months or even years, is simply out of the question. Aside from the immediate health impacts caused by getting it wrong, trust in the state and other authorities can be a casualty.

So far, massive failure of vaccines has not been shown in other countries. Only the Chinese vaccines to a China-origin virus have shown massive failure. The “vaccine diplomacy” of the Chinese regime has, to put it bluntly, failed BIGLY.

We Are BLASTING Race Identitarianism As A Threat To Freedom

Bill Collier June 21, 2021

It’s time to bring in the big guns and blast away remorselessly at the edifice of a race identitarianism which could become, if continually provoked by the blatant race hate coming from the woke savage camp, THE major threat to freedom for all Americans, especially those who are either not white or who reject white identitarianism, like us.

We are Freedomists, we do not embrace racial identitarianism, we embrace ideas and ideals as our core identity and we reject the notion race is anything but a negative social construct that is a threat to human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing. Race is a myth and those who use it as a wedge in society or to shame or otherwise demean or limit others are of the same spirit as Adolf Hitler.

The assualt on “white identity”, something most all white people are not at all conscious of but are now being accused of gaining unfair advantage through, can only promote a white identitarianism reaction. In short, vilification of all white people as inherently racist and morally inferior to the alleged victim groups (POC, LGBTQ, etc) on the basis of this fictional “white identity” and “white supremacy conspiracy” pushes white people into a defensive circle.

Real talk here: identitarianism among “non white” groups in America today cannot pose a serious threat to white people who are 70% of the population and who control probably 90% of the wealth. This doesn’t make it morally good, we oppose all racial identitarianism, but it’s not the same level of threat.

The identitarianism of “non-white” “races” fomented by separatists and racialists, mostly the left, is morally problematic. But given the actual disadvantage these group have faced, it is understandable. Additionally, the fact the white “race” is some 70% of the population and that most members of other “races” are not very identitarian, means this has had little potential to harm anyone. But if “white identitarianism” becomes popular among most “white” people, it can seriously threaten the freedom of non-white people. As Freedomists we demand equity in freedom for all human beings, so clearly this is something we are alarmed by.

Is this nonsense about white identity being a mark of shame meant to bully white people, who are less likely to vote leftwing, into submitting to their policies? Is it actually meant to foment a white identity backlash to use the unrest as justification for more draconian violations of people’s basic civil rights?

It does not follow automatically that if white identitarianism becomes “awakened” in some way that the potential unrest it leads to could be contained. (The motto of the Nazi storm troopers was “Germany Awake!” and this is the kind of malevolent “awakening” the woke savages are seeming to want to provoke.)

It is possible that playing with such dangerous fire, awakening actual racial jingoism (white identitarianism as opposed to POC identitarianism and white supremacy as a counter to white guilt and white shaming) through unreasonable demonization of a majority of the population on the basis of an identity that they are not conscious of, would create something that cannot be contained.

So if we say “yes, white identity is dangerous”, we mean that if the majority of Americans, who are “white”, by the definition of the left, are vilified for being white, if their “identity” is treated as a badge of shame, whether they are conscious of that identity or not, then the result will be a sudden “awakening” to that “identity” that is itself dangerous.

The left are creating a nasty, self-fulfilling prophecy that white people are evil oppressors and all the world’s evils come from a white supremacy conspiracy to dominate the world for the glory and benefit of the white race. This is their narrative and, like the Nazis of Jewish lineage who hated the Jewish “race”, the white leftists find no irony in their anti-white racist bigotry.

Indeed, if you read the preachments of the left on the white race and substitute the word “Jew” for “white”, then you begin to see how truly vile and hateful this doctrine is.

Pushing “white people” into a corner where they have to hate themselves, give up every aspect of their culture and way of life, and submit to your fringe social experiments isn’t going to end well. The ACTUAL racists and white supremacists, infiltrated by the FBI who are positively fomenting this, must be loving this, and that is a very bad thing.

As Freedomists, we identify with Freedomist ideas and ideals, we are not racial or race conscious. We reject racial separatism, even the concept or there being any but the human race, and certainly any sense of racial supremacy. The idea of most white people becoming race conscious and feeling like it’s “us or them”, because they are so viciously attacked and shamed merely for being white, is q dangerous idea.

If most white people begin to embrace their race and the “advancement” of their race in an “us/them” paradigm, like the “oppressed” races are being encouraged to do, well, look for the rise of real white supremacy to a scale not even the FBI infiltrators and provocateurs can contain.

In such an event we Freedomists, who reject this kind of thinking, would find find ourselves both beset by the left if we are white or not POC loyal enough and attacked by the white pride loons, inspired and enflamed by the left and the FBI, for either not being “loyal” to the “race” or not being white.

White identitarianism as a jingoistic counter to the woke assault on “whiteness” is dangerous and if the left and the FBI, who seem to want to provoke this garbage, manufacture a “persecution complex” among white people, it could becomes THE major threat to freedom.

This Is Woke “LEADERSHIP”

Bill Collier June 21, 2021

The mayors of our major cities have fallen prey to the mindless woke mobs and their asinine, contradictory demands. Worse is Portland. Real people are being hurt here. Murder rates are rising or going through the roof, they certainly aren’t going down, and a demand for more disarming the innocent and violating our sacred RIGHT to self-preservation isn’t going to help this at all.

The increased murder rates are “unprecedented” in modern times, according to A REPORT released in February of 2021. But it’s only getting worse, not better. Take away the top 30 most murderous cities and the US would have a far lower murder rate. What’s common in these cities is a high incidence of woke authoritarianism and low incidence of respect for human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing.

Violent crime is also a problem, with your chances of being a victim of violent crime in Detroit being 1 in 51. Given a number of years and you are unlikely to either not be a victim or to have a loved one be a victim.

The woke savage has no mercy. While this spirit loves to virtue signal, it’s actual concern for actual human beings is roughly rated at zero.
