Madness Made to Order - Part Three
Madness Made to Order - Part Three
March Past Marx and Beyond supplies a clear view of Marxism and how that collectivist mindset marches on today despite the trumpeting of “democracy.”
Religion is the sign of the oppressed ... it is the opium of the people
Karl Marx
Regardless of your political or religious affiliations, it is easy to see the link between Weishaupt’s five points and the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto. Marx’s Ten Planks also mirror today’s social discourse—some like it, such as Antifa members.
Despite Biden’s and Nadler’s claims, Antifa is an uber-cult, not an idea. It started in the 1930s in Germany as the “Antifaschistische Aktion.” There, Antifa clashed with the Nazi Brown Shirts. Today, it is a highly organized association with trained members. It is a confederation of anarchists, communists, and other radicals. It connects to the terrorist organization Weather Underground, Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (FALN), and the May 19th Communist Organization (MCO). As an interesting tidbit, May 19th is the birthday of Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh. The suggested reading is “The Real History of Antifa for more about this evil and destructive group.” But of course, we are gaslighted to believe the most significant threat likely comes from white supremacists.
The woke folk like the tenets of the hideous collectivist vomit. Once freed from the mental blindness, the now cogent unwoke folk can discern that much of what we see and hear comport with the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto. Now, with a genuinely open mind, we can see these collectivist beliefs blooming in Europe simultaneously with the founding of the USA. As a reminder and poke in the eye to the woke folk, this founding was in 1776, not 1619.
While this section of Fred’s blog (Part Three) focuses on the United States, it is a universal truth that all people worldwide have or should have, depending on the country, the right to freedom and property. Collectivism spells the end of these most basic human needs and truths. A shout-out goes to our friends in Canada. See Frederick R. Smith Speaks, Nightmare in the North, April 23rd, 2021.
The open struggles of today in the United States are an old endeavor. We should learn from our past, reconcile, and move on. Yes, there are inequities, and because of the imperfection of humankind, we will face this blemish until the end of time. However, a renewed polarization is fueled by a radical reframing of our past with attacks on our present. This hyper-revision is a proliferation of false narratives or exaggerations that murder our national identity.
Like in Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, we now have the thought police with its shock troopers from big business and media to attack those who hold traditional values. Views contrary to the “narrative” become heretical to the New Woke World religion cult. If society accepts this narrative, lies become the truth, like in Nineteen Eighty-Four. Emblematic is the notion that all Caucasian people are racist because they have a specific pigment. Even if you claim no racism, the system informs you of your unconscious bias. Furthermore, your silence is proof of your bias, as “silence equals violence.” The ultimate example of “projection” is that the accuser is doing the same thing they accuse the accused of doing. As an example of this mind-numbing programming, on July 4th, 2010, Judd Garrett posted this gem:
On July 1st, the Chinese Communist Party celebrated its 100th year ruling China, and many in America’s left-leaning media celebrated this milestone. CNN tweeted, “The Chinese Communist Party is about to turn 100 but Xi will be the real star.” CNN’s Ben Westcott wrote that this “is an opportunity for the party to reaffirm its credentials while ensuring loyalty.” And that the “party has much to celebrate, particularly China’s growth from one of the poorest nations in the world into an economy on the brink of overtaking the US.”
Yesterday, a New York Times columnist wrote this about our nation’s birthday:
“Today, flying the flag from the back of a pickup truck or over a lawn is increasingly seen as a clue… to a person’s political affiliation in a deeply divided nation… What was once a unifying symbol is now alienating to some, its stripes now fault lines between people who kneel while “The Star-Spangled Banner” plays and those for whom not pledging allegiance is an affront.”
Also see Frederick R. Smith, Goofy Gray Lady, January 2nd, 2021.
There is a stark contrast between the way left-wing media views America and its history and [that of] communist countries. The same people continually remind America of its past sins to gloss over the more brutal, recent atrocities of the Chinese Communists. On July 1st, there was barely a mention of Mao’s Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, which killed over 45 million citizens, or the present-day Chinese concentration camps where over one million Uyghurs get tortured, raped, and murdered. [Also, shall we not forget the plight of the Falun Gong in China.]
For more of the Neo-Marxists vomit projection, how about Ashleigh Shackleford presenting a syllabus (cough, cough) about Critical Race (conspiracy) Theory. In a video of an indoctrination vile venom session, she says, “.. I believe that white people are born into not being human.” Behold the spectacle:
It is a wonderment (not) that the bastion of free speech, YouTube, has not scrubbed this putrid presentation holding nonsense about not being human. And the adult robots in the meeting room looking on like sheep is an even higher form of wonderment.
As a counter to the above, there is this real-life story. During 2020, when politicians panicked (e.g., lockdowns) with the “firefly but mostly peaceful protests” occurring in the closest big city, your author and his wife tried to visit an upscale restaurant with predominantly African-American workers and patrons. With no waiting line, the host said we would have a 2.5-hour wait without a reservation. We declined, but it sure seemed suspicious. Later in the year, while your author was pumping gas into his automobile, two African Americans walking by said to your author, “You look like Hitler.” By just ignoring this black racist duo, nothing happened (thankfully). They had their day with “free speech,” but think of the consequences if Fred responded in any way. At best, it would have been magnified into a “white racist rant” or spawned violence (called protest by the mad machine) against Fred. Did these chance encounters make Fred hate African Americans? Of course not.
In another example of “look the other way,” a psychiatrist lecturing at Yale’s Child Study Center spoke about “unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way.” We know the programming mad machine would launch into hyper-projection if a similar speech emanated from a “right-winger.” Today, the Neo-Marxist mad machine will shut down any countering dialog with the inane ploy to call the respondent “racist.” More Pavlov’s Dogs projection. This collectivist-like behavior is hazardous and the prime example of why we must protect free speech (for any wing). That way, people can speak out against lousy speech.
History shows that the Soviet Communists rewrote history to slam the citizens’ national identity. Relics destroyed and streets given new names should ring a bell in your mind (i.e., fiery but mostly peaceful protests). In line with this programming, the Boston Globe newspaper has a “Fresh Start” program that allows individuals to request revisions to past news articles. That is to avoid “embarrassment” if specific texts are kept in the record. Now we know why so many statues were toppled and vandalized in 2020 with the tacit approval of the vile news media programming mad machine. Confident municipal leaders (cough, cough) cheered for this menagerie spectacle. The National Guard troops and law enforcement personnel who bent their knee were particularly disturbing. Was it about following orders, sympathizing with the rioters, or saving their own lives? Hopefully, that was the left knee, as the right is for God.
As a vital insert concerning the march to serfdom, an essential link is Howard Zinn’s 1980 tome called “A People’s History of the United States.” The title alone is suspect. Since it was published during the birth of the millennials, that nexus explains why so many of that generation have an affinity for collectivism. Higher education (cough, cough) and public schools continue to vomit this crapola by intertwining it into regular course content. People also continue to buy this bile for reading pleasure (wink, wink). Zinn’s work magnifies the wrong side of history and downplays the good. A personal reflection about your author, Fred, is in order as an aspect of this dichotomy. As a youngster, and to this day, the wisdom of dropping the atomic bombs on Japan in 1945 haunts him. One could argue for hours about this topic. Still, unlike the Neo-Marxist Pavlov’s Dogs, questioning the nuclear bomb drops that immediately incinerated up to 200,000 people does not incline Fred to hate America.
For full disclosure, your author has not read Zinn’s work (or Hanna-Jones, below) but has read reviews from both sides of the aisle to conclude. The common defense of Zinn and similar works is the claim that “America has not lived up to its ideals.” What other country has these ideals (or equivalent) and lived up to them?
Drinking the Jones-flavored Kool-Aid™ from Zinn, in 2019, the New York Times (a.k.a. Goofy Gray Lady) published a 100-page magazine called the “1619 Project.” It was released on the 400th anniversary of English pirates landing on the North American continent with 20 enslaved people. The Times even promotes that they attempted to redefine our history. The principal author, Nikole Hannah-Jones, openly avers that she and the co-authors want to “decenter whiteness.” She brazenly writes that our nation’s founding occurred not in 1776 but 157 years prior. Entirely out of any objective reality, she wants all to swallow the notion that the reason for the American Revolution was only to preserve slavery. And it goes on and on with inane assertions such as the Constitution is an undemocratic document, and anti-black racism runs in the DNA of this country. As we shall see, but not as any accolades to Hannah-Jones, the Founders were suspicious of democracy.
One notable notion from Hannah-Jones concerns the assertion that white people have an addiction to sugar because of slavery. The sugar industry indeed used slavery to produce its products. Likewise, many other farming interests did the same vicious thing. This argument about sugar is myopic as it ignores people of different races who have the same craving for sugar. Likewise, many other foods and goods were made by enslaved people at one time. Let us learn and move on from the past rather than ruminate about it. This obsession with Critical Race (conspiracy) Theory makes paranoia seem normal.
Of note, Ms. Hannah-Jones, some years before her 1619 Projectfame, wrote a letter to Notre Dame’s Observer. There she wrote that “the white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world… whites have always been an unjust, jealous, unmerciful avaricious, and bloodthirsty set of beings.” She also avers that Christopher Columbus is “no different than [sic] Hitler.” These vile statements are not even worth any more energy to refute. With the rise of this hate, Hannah-Jones received accolades for her 1619 Project with a reward from the now-putrid Pulitzer Prize on May 4th, 2020. In line with the narrative, the woke Pavlov’s Dogs will automatically parrot the racism card—a nifty redirection tactic. Meanwhile, we have a clear direction with great expediency from the compassionate crowd, never to paint a broad brush against a group of “religious” people. Hint is the second-largest religion in the world. This expediency does not apply to people of a particular skin color, to whom Ms. Hanna-Jones refers.
The above aside, one wretched item worth rebutting is a notion from the other 1619 Project contributors. They wrote about the good old Marxist capitalism/working-class struggle. This classic Marxist thought process is interwoven through this vile and wretched document, but the “class struggle” morphed into a race struggle (Neo-Marxism). Marxism is indeed pliable or malleable enough to fit a particular pogrom.
The National Education Association partnered with the New York Times (Goofy Gray Lady) to distribute copies of the 1619 Project throughout the educational system. The booklet is a publication of none other than the Zinn Education Project. Also, see Frederick R. Smith Speaks; Nauseating NEA, August 1st, 2020. It gets worse. On July 4th, 2021, The Epoch Times reported this Critical Race (conspiracy) Theory (CRT) tidbit about the NEA, clearly a communist organ:
The National Education Association (NEA), which represents more than 3 million employees in public education, on June 30th kicked off its 100th Representative Assembly. During the four-day online convention, the union adopted a measure to commit at least $127,600.00 to advance its pro-CRT agenda.
According to the plan, the NEA will share and publicize information about “what CRT is and what it is not,” dedicate a “team of staffers” to assist union members who “want to learn more and fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric,” and provide a study that critiques “power and oppression” in American society, including “white supremacy,” “cisheteropatriarchy,” and capitalism. Learn more about it here and here:
The union also declared that it opposes attempts to ban CRT and the New York Times’ highly controversial “1619 Project,” which recasts American history, claiming that the United States was founded and remains a racist nation.
In addition, the measure calls for an “accurate and honest” teaching of “unpleasant aspects of American history.” It affirms that CRT is an appropriate framework for educators to address those topics.
NEA, you show your true colors! Your hidden collectivist leanings return to your beginning, as detailed in Frederick R. Smith Speaks, Nauseating NEA, August 1st, 2020. Old habits die hard. No longer hidden: the crummy NEA union leadership is a commie front. Some of the members are boot-licking comrades. As other concerned cogent folks proclaim: bring it on, NEA slime balls. The same goes for the slimy slop-drop school boards that allow this crapola. Keep on talking and barking; the more, the better. It does an excellent job of exposing the evil agenda (Satan Bug).
The pushing of things other than the critical elements of reading, writing, and math exposes the real purpose of the NEA and its accomplices. It is all about the dumbing down of America. The trashing of real substantive positive subjects opens a cavern. Filling in this void is an acidic liquid mix that includes (but is not limited to) the following ingredients: lust (teachers—primarily female—fornicating with students), America-phobia, the global citizenry (honor the United Nations), hate of the police rhetoric, illicit drugs, social justice (communism), Christophobia, and heterophobia. Does all that make Fred hate all schools and teachers? Of course not! It is a matter of detesting the sin and not the person. The few good schools, even private, face attacks from this evil empire (Satan Bug).
Meanwhile, on July 6th, 2021, a Twitter user reported that the nauseating NEA has quietly removed references to promoting Critical Race (conspiracy) Theory. Why are they covering up their support for CRT? We know—commies!
Of note, the rewriting of history started way back in the 1920s, as detailed in the book “Hope of the Wicked” on page 135:
Early in this (past) century, the Guggenheim Foundation agreed to award fellowships to historians recommended by the Carnegie Endowment. Gradually, through the 1920s, they assembled a group of twenty promising young academics and took them to London. There they briefed them on what was expected of them when they became professors of American history. Those twenty were the nucleus of what was eventually to become the American Historical Association. In 1928, the American Historical Association was granted $400,000 by the Carnegie Endowment to write a seven-volume study on the direction the nation was to take. The thrust of these books, according to Senator Norman Dodd, was that “the future of this country belongs to collectivism and humanism.” Senator Dodd concluded from his study that these tax-exempt foundations, by virtue of the fact that they pay for these studies, lay at the heart of a group determined to destroy the United States. These educational changes were applied very gradually, so as not to alarm the general American populace, but they have been documented. This, in concert with state and federal court decisions in the later half of the twentieth century, has proven very effective at achieving this goal.
Here is a real-life story right in line with the 1619 Project. A close friend, who will go unnamed, is an executive in charge of all security for a major corporation. Like other urban areas, headquarters in a significant city face a hyperincrease in 2021 crime. In an extraordinary email to my friend, the mayor announced a summit to tackle the crime. The focus: what can be done to stop white racism from making blacks kill blacks? Right out of the Nineteen Eighty-Four/Zinn/Jones commie playbook.
As briefly discussed in Part One and more to follow concerning professional (cough, cough) sports players, the switch from class to race is necessary. That ensures that the overlords and other decadent, debased, woke folk influencers can stay clear of the insurrectionist mob and keep their booty. More “projection.” This redirection is prophylactic to avoid the side effects of a possible new French Revolution-style pandemic. It is nothing more than Neo-Marxism.
As an important historical note, the first collectivist switch from class struggle occurred during the Nazi regime. The Nazi theory attacked ethnicity and religion. For Critical Race (conspiracy) Theory, the “white” folk are the presumed guilty enemy, a vague and confusing moniker. It can include groups of people such as Russians, Norwegians, Greeks, Chechens, etc. Likewise, the presumed overarching oppressed “people of color” is an equally confusing target—for example, African, Latin American, Asian, Arab ancestry, etc.
While we are on the topic of the nasty Nazi nexus, and to be clear, your author is not making any aspersions against the progressives to be in the same category. However, with hope and prayer, we will not see such a terrible thing. Meanwhile, we have heard progressives use the Nazi word with impunity in a broad-brush manner. But of course, the collectivists often make aspersions against their opponents using the Nazi and genocide allegations. They can go pound sand.
The glittering example of all this Neo-Marxism is professional (really?) sports players. Those who have the mental fortitude and have read this essay can see why. It is about preserving their grotesque overcompensation for doing their part of the Bread and Circuses spectacle. Meanwhile, scores of players openly disrespect the nation, making it possible to collect their mentally disordered compensation. During the playing of the national anthem, these jackals engage in a quixotic display of hubris. Their hiding in locker rooms, taking to the knee, and turning their back to the flag is a demented virtue signal. This condemnation applies to nonprofessional players who do the same thing. The Olympian-woke folk who partake in this biting behavior are of particular concern. Real heroes (gag me with a spoon)!
Note the fake “do not generalize” mobocracy: your author does not apply the above concern to all sports players. Specifically, those who realize by engaging in this vile virtue-signaling attack the very system that gives them their wealth!
Despite these crumb bums, free speech is a necessary right. Expression, even for things we do not like, is vital to avoid the rise of totalitarianism. Of course, it is also about some decorum. We know, we know—the Trump card!
The Satan Bug infestation seems to coincide with Covid-1984 and the hyper-coarsening of society. Symptoms of the Satan Bug manifest as hyper-increase in vulgarity, aggressive driving, running traffic lights, loud mufflers, loud music (noise) blaring from open windows of automobiles, and sloth. An increase in graffiti or tagging is outward disrespect for property. Look at freight trains today to behold a bevy of satanic slop-drops painted on the freight cars. This is nothing new, but it has exploded in recent years.
We know that if projecting classic Marxism, these sports creeps would be the target. It is redirection (Neo-Marxism) of the most menacing kind. Another example is the Black Lives Matter (BLM) leader who brought a mansion to a ritzy LA neighborhood. Little about that morsel exists in the psychological warfare mad machine known as the mainstream media. Nor will we see the same slop-drop media cover the BLM leader who quit because of the realization this is all a Neo-Marxist plot that protects the overlords and does nothing to truly help African Americans or other poor people in a true sense. A case in point is the BLM co-founder, who gladly touts her Marxist training. Those influencers who realize the bad see that BLM’s goals align with the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto. They are the unsung heroes!
This Frederick R. Smith blog is in no way an apology but a repudiation of the terrible injustice of slavery. This injustice has existed throughout the world since the beginning of recorded history. Slavery still exists in many African countries. An estimated 9.2 million Blacks live in servitude today, and the atrocities Africans have endured overshadow anything experienced by Blacks beyond that continent.
But we rarely hear about this modern slavery because of the god of political correctness. Nevertheless, the American Revolution was the turning point against slavery, and the Founding Fathers contributed to that transformation. Many Founders complained that Great Britain had forcefully imposed slavery upon the Colonies. The United States led the world in liberty and the fight against slavery. In 1790, Massachusetts ended slavery. In 1840, all northern states passed laws for the immediate or gradual abolition of slavery. Also, see Frederick R. Smith Speaks; The Sin of Slavery, September 25th, 2020.
And, of course, the death of any person of any race at the hands of the police is a serious matter. However, like all other issues, the mad machine uses this terrible thing to magnify certain types of incidents and downplay others. That fits nicely into the Neo-Marxist game. How about a “do not respond list” for those who want to Defund the Police? But of course, we know such individuals call the police when distressed.
Even your author has some issues with the police. For example, they enforced the unconstitutional Covid “emergency orders” during the Covid plandemic. It drives your author into orbit whenever he sees police at construction or other roadside works. They make easy money during overtime shifts doing something easily performed by flaggers. Rather than the vile Neo-Marxist plot to “Defund the Police,” how about doing some practical things like establishing a new safety credential for highway flaggers? Meanwhile, leftist politicians in progressive localities make the job of the police miserable. They direct them to stand down for certain things while targeting the cogent, non-woke folk. Does that make Fred hate all police? Of course not.
Make no mistake; the “Defund the Police” bowel movement is a Marxist-inspired ploy. The goal is a federal police force, a nifty collectivist enforcement organ.
As a typical youngster of ten years of age in the mid-1960s, your author spent a lot of time outdoors, including exploring the local creek and wooded areas. One day, the local police visited the house to threaten your author. Neighbors saw Freddy walking home from the general area, where a brush fire erupted. Just that observation alone prompted the good police to lecture your author about the dangers of setting fires. After the encounter, Mom and Dad said they believed your author and that somebody else set the fire.
Once, your author left an expensive object on the front seat of his parked auto while visiting a local park. There, a park officer aggressively confronted Fred, making him out to be a criminal for “making the car a target.” Did these encounters make Fred hate all police? Of course not.
And there is the case of police harassment that a close friend (John Doe) endured. A neighbor behind John kept their mean and constantly barking dog outdoors tied to a chain 24-7 basis. John’s wife visited the neighbor and rang the doorbell to inquire about the constant barking. Rather than the neighborly thing to discuss the issue, the vile dog’s owner called the police to report a “trespassing incident.” After a year of the officer harassing my friend and his wife by insinuating they were “bad neighbors,” the police arrested the backyard neighbor. It turned out that the dog was the security for an illicit drug dealer. To add insult to injury, the police offered no apology. And just like the media mad machine’s gambit, the ethnicity of the drug kingpin shall remain undisclosed to avoid stereotypes. Did that encounter make John hate all police? Of course not.
We know conservatives are the imaginary overarching threat. We hear it daily as “extremism” or the “domestic terrorist threat.” The media projection experts are in control, but the gambit is easy to see. They up-play and magnify the perpetrators that fit the bill of their right-wing boogeyman. The opposite is true with Antifa as the extreme example, but you get the drift. Also, please check out the shocking truth of the Ferguson Effect as narrated by Heather MacDonald from a policing perspective.
For the final tidbit of this part, remember “white privilege” does not necessarily mean “White.” It is just another Marxist ploy. It means anybody of any race, sex, sexual orientation, nationality, or creed who embraces the American way (capitalism, free markets, limited government, culture, and values). 📕
