AUM NAMAH SHIVAYA
Upon occasion, in human affairs, it becomes necessary to remind functionaries that they are not proprietors. This observation has reference to that Euro-American mélange of colossal dummies who self-identify as the foreign policy establishment (FPE) as well as to their tools, practitioners, who call themselves the intelligence community (IC).
The tragedy inside their whole outlook and frame of reference is Progressives’ Transgressives’ lack of self-confidence and, in its place, abundance of hauteur. It must be of the spirit if they are to save their flesh.
Lack of self-confidence compels Transgressives to nefarious activities such as manipulation, murder, and mayhem. Transgressives run to be undone by these activities even though they are not in their best interests.
Progressive, of course, is their own euphemism for Universalist, Socialist, Communist, Humanist, Republican, Globalist, Anti-American, anti-Nation. Meaning, Transgressive. Basically, someone who aspires to be among the select few who get to tell everyone else what to do, when to do it, and how.
Transgressives have a baleful and dolorous history because they have an anti-human, anti-nation, and therefore illiberal intent. Freedom, fairness, and brotherhood (liberté, égalité, fraternité) are upon occasion their words but never ever their deeds. Deeds are more consequential than words and even than thoughts.
It is probable that, for most Transgressives, the only salvation is to put them straight into their own inherent tragedy, let them drown in their own vomit, so to speak. Experience with Cathars (Gnostics: today’s Unitarians, Quakers, New Agers), forebears of Transgressives, points in this direction. Their own hauteur and sententious spite preclude Transgressives’ considering spiritual remedies to save their flesh. They profess to believe that they are already everything needful for salvation. A false self-confidence to be sure, or at least the presentment of one. That soi-disant spiritual posture leaves but one outcome available for Transgressives’ flesh. And that is a tragedy.
Update 1:
Michael Melcher
The Guardian was always a big fan of Russia when it was known as the Soviet Union. What has changed?
David R. Graham to Michael Melcher
Russians reverted to Christianity. That’s what changed. Socialists hate Christianity.
Michael Melcher to David R. Graham
Good point. I hadn’t considered that. The “church” is certainly among the Marx-Engels big three for destruction.
David R. Graham to Michael Melcher
Oh yeah! Took me, too, a few years to figure out that one. Once I saw it, I looked around for geo-strategic implications and saw US, India, and Russia aligned for global pacification, restructuring for modern realities, via shutting down their immediate common enemy, Jihad, and checking/undoing their long-term common enemy, ChiComs. I call it Three Brothers Doctrine at my blog Theological Geography.
Not for nothing is bipartisan fusion EU-US Foreign Policy Establishment (e.g., Pelosi, Kristol, Romney, CFR, US IC, D-R UniParty, Globalists) adamant that Russia/Putin is evil US enemy. They do so abominate national sovereignties, and Christianity-infused ones the most.
Actually, Russia/Putin, no angels but genuine patriots, even many of their non-Christians, and properly so, are US allies historically as well as in current and even long-term geo-political conditions.
Update 2:
David R. Graham
I think everyone now is just awaiting Michelle’s announcement of candidacy for POTUS. And more reclamation, in her/handlers’ minds, than candidacy.
Two things stand out to me in this drama:
1- No one, no one, not even Solomon, Attkisson, Hemingway, or Sperry has pursued the individual or group who leaked a transcript of the Flynn-Russian Ambassador conversation. Why not?
2- Why is Russia/Putin always at the center of Transgressives’ machinations? What have they against Russia/Putin? Russian active measures in USA are novel? Russia/Putin is so central to their epistemology and geo-political taxonomy — on the hate side — that even the late Tory sweep of the UK general election Transgressives blame on Russia/Putin. I mean, there are so many things of substance Transgressives could cavil about against Americans, why is Russia/Putin always their OCD du jour?
kasandra to David R. Graham
Well, to invoke FISA – the FOREIGN Intelligence Surveillance Act – they needed a plausible foreign involvement. And Americans have validly been conditioned to expect nefarious Russian conduct, And they seemed to have interfered at least at the margins in 2016, so it was convenient for the left to use Russia. It’s interesting to me because I’m old enough to remember most of the Cold War when the left was Russia’s BFF.
David R. Graham to kasandra
Yes, but there is more to it. OCD. It reeks. When the Soviet fell, Clinton/US Foreign Policy Establishment (FPE), aka Globalists, Transgressives, looted Russia and Ukraine under color of helping them learn free market economics.
Putin, like Trump in re USA, saw the fleece and put a stop to it under color of patriotism and Christianity. Lots of EU-US FPE/NGO rice bowls went unfilled. Still do, at least from Russia, not so much from Ukraine, as is now evident.
And more than the economics was the ideology. Russians knew from direct experience that socialism is a disease that makes for misery. And they never lost their yearning for the numinous. Putin brought forth the Russian Church as essential to restoring Russian self-confident patriotism. Globalists cannot forgive him for that. After all, ideology is their game, they have nothing else besides its fleeting stamina. Thus their OCD over Russia/Putin. IMO.
Utter Nobody to David R. Graham
Yeah, that Russia fixation is so weird. There’s gotta be something there that they’ve managed to hide.
I don’t see Mrs. Obama running. I don’t think she’d be up for it.
Ryan Campbell to Utter Nobody
Mrs. Obama? No. Big Mike Robinson? Maybe. lol
kasandra to Utter Nobody
It supplied a believable predicate for the Administration’s spying on the Trump campaign – the ‘F’ in FISA.
itellu3times to David R. Graham
Because it’s so perfect – the socialists abhorring the communist. Makes you think they’re not the same.
Mike to David R. Graham
Demographics and voting blocs. The older folks in America tend to vote Republican and conservative. These same folks grew up during the Cold War and the memory of the Soviet/Russian threat remains real to many of them. I think the DEMS used Russia primarily to peel away voters from Trump. Another reason is that Putin is not an adherent of the Globalist New World Order. He is first and foremost for historic Russia. Say what you will about his treatment of “reporters” and homosexuals and such, it’s my opinion, but shouldn’t all leaders of their countries be concerned first and foremost with their own nations and their own people? That’s not the Globalist view of things. Merkel, Macron, Obama, Trudeau etc, don’t seem the least interested in the well being of their own people. While the Bushes and the Clintons were busy importing tens of millions of low wage uneducated immigrants and enabling the export of millions of American jobs to the third world, were they at all interested in the well being of the average American? I don’t think so. Globalists hate non-Globalists.
David R. Graham to Mike
Another reason is that Putin is not an adherent of the Globalist New World Order. He is first and foremost for historic Russia.
Exceedingly important data points. And central to that historic Russia Putin and Russians generally treasure is Christianity, which Globalists hate as much as they hate historic patriotism, because Christianity’s high view of man fosters nations and patriotism, rather than Globalists’ deadening, sententious hegemonics.
Globalists are Transgressives.
Joan to David R. Graham
In addition to the valid ideas proposed by posters below, I think it is distraction from the Democrats’ treasonous and corrupt involvement with the Chinese, going back to the Clintons. I think there are payoffs to look the other way as Chinese are infused into sensitive areas of science, technology and business.
Kevin R. to Joan
I think you’re spot on.
Update 3: Sharyl Attkisson: William Barr Has Suddenly Become Chatty—and He’s Provided Quite an Information Dump
Update 4: Matt Vespa: Sharyl Attkisson: The Six Red Flags We Missed Regarding the FBI’s Abusive FISA Witch Hunt Against the Trump Campaign
Man does not live long. However in this short span of life he has the ability to experience divine bliss. Two people might appear ostensibly made of the same mould. Their limbs might look alike. Nevertheless, one could turn out to be an angel and another a beast. What is the reason for this? Looking at their behaviour, it is hard to believe that both of them belong to the same community. Therefore, primarily behaviour is important for man. Each and every moment, human life may superficially appear to be simple but truly it is not so; there is a great meaning inherent in it. The entire life is a great act of sacrifice or yajna karma. If the sleep that one enjoys after offering all the experiences of the day to the Lord in a spirit of surrender, is not Samadhi then what else is it? Because of the all pervasive feeling of I am the Body, man, without discrimination, explores various ways to boost his physical being. Therefore, instead of thinking day and night about the body, preserve it only for the purpose of serving all living beings with Trikarana shuddhi – purity of thought, word and deed, so that you can realize the Higher Self, as you are not the body but the Atma.
