“My parents called themselves progressives. The agenda was a Soviet America…the slogan of the communist party in those days was peace, jobs, democracy. Sound familiar? The communist party is the democratic Party.” – David Horowitz
“The Socialist Party will no longer be running a candidate for president. The Democratic Party is leading this country to Socialism much faster than we could ever hope to.” – Norman Thomas
In this issue’s Final Thought, I will provide a brief update on our Hope Estates Project, but right now we are in a season of little action due to contractor coordination, which includes selecting and making estimate appointment we can all keep.
After this brief update, I will also share with you my thoughts on the recent removal of a child from a parent’s home by the state of California after the parent refused to allow the child to go through “gender affirming therapy.”
HOPE ESTATES UPDATE
In the Riqueday Castle in Canton, work has begun on repairing our broken water pipes from the 2025 ice storm. We are coordinating times to have a series of estimates done on the castle to improve/replace/repair roofing, doors, basement floors, waterproofing, and windows, along with estimates for a new bathroom/shower on the second floor and adding showers to the two bathrooms.
We hope to get an overall estimate of the cost of a dramatic, sudden, and total restoration and customization. Once we know the figure, we will have a goal.
In the Harrisburg estate, work is almost complete on the apartment on the 3rd floor that will allow publisher Bill Collier to go to Washington, D.C. more often. D.C. is where business leads reside for our parent company, Regal Blue Media.
By next month, we hope to have answers on the total cost of our hoped core level of renovation.
THE GENDER REVOLUTION
A series of news events this month connected to the Democratic Party highlights, to me, the divide that exists between Americans and Progressives. That divide is so dramatic it has become existential, meaning governance by progressives is an existential threat to Americans, and vice versa.
Earlier this month, the Democratic National Committee released the much talked about 2024 Election Autopsy report. The report wasn’t released voluntarily, it was released after CNN let the DNC know the report was already leaked to them.
The report itself did not interview the key people involved in the election, including the Democrats’ Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
The man who released the product, the much aligned (within his own party) chair of the DNC, Ken Martin, said of the product, “I am not proud of this product; it does not meet my standards, and it won’t meet your standards…”
He suggested that he could not “in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on it.”
Since its beginning, the progressive nation has had to play a double game, advancing the anti-American progressive agenda while continuing to rely on the fruit of American power to incubate the progressive nation from within.
It is a parasitical host seeking to utilize American power for progressive ends.
Since its inception, it’s had to play the game of concealment, trained in the art of agit prop from the beginning, by necessity, if it hoped to continue to build progressive institutions in American bones. If it moved too fast, if it was too transparent, it would be routed out like the parasite it is and consigned to the dustbin of history.
The parasite itself is built on the lie that “expert” humans can steward the beliefs and preferences of the masses better than the masses can themselves.
This lie is an existential threat to the founding principle of the republic, that we have inherent rights beyond government authority, even corporate authority, to steward our own preferences and beliefs.
It tried to insert itself initially using class warfare, which it still uses, based on economic status, but the American institutions, even hampered by progressive infections (starting with earnestness in 1913), was not creating the massive poor subclass the progressives were hoping it would.
So, in the 1960s they switched to race, then they added sexual preference, then they added gender confusion. Each stage that followed race was justified by it, for the underlying power of the progressive comes from the white devil myth.
The white devil invented evil; therefore, we are justified in dismantling the white devil’s inventions, which includes the American republic.
The progressive must increase his blindness to sustain his delusion, but the more he is deluded, the more naked his actions become, revealing the true anti-American nature of the progressive nation within these lands.
The 2024 Election Report couldn’t look at the two hard truths the Democrats can ill afford to face, they lost the election because they couldn’t stuff enough mass mailer ballot drops and the Republicans have yet to offer an actual clear American counter to the progressives (this includes Trump by this writer’s assessment).
Many Americans don’t even show up for elections anymore. This writer is one of those people. For when the Republicans appear to largely be playing in the progressive America game rather than the American game, it gives us little reason to vote outside of desperate defensive action (which is a reasonable position).
At this point, the progressives are so far removed from the American lens, they can no longer hide just how different they are from us. A Democrat candidate for U.S. congress, Maureen Galindo, is campaigning with the promise to throw Zionists into an ICE detention center outside San Antonio, Texas. To her, political violence is not just acceptable, it’s compelled.
Political violence is a virtue when you are sure everyone outside your group is a Nazi, which progressives assuredly do. At this point they have to, for if the enemy is even remotely reasonable, they will have to see facts that will gut their being and condemn them for the very sins they have long imagine they were fighting against, racism, bigotry, authoritarianism, elitism, and even corporatism.
If they are fighting the white devil, who is very real and very genocidal, their sins are virtues. And these last 10 years, progressives, from the street fighter to the President, have been committing violent acts of insurrection against the republic IF the white devil myth is a lie (and it is).
To the progressive, a conservative veteran is a traitor, for he serves the white supremacist nation, America, not his America, the progressive U.S. We see this in their Maine Senate candidate, Graham Platner, an alleged recovered Nazi, now progressive.
He made a comment on a video in 2019 about an Afghanistan War Veteran and Purple Heart recipient being shot in a firefight with the Taliban. He said, “This video never gets old. Dumb mother#^@$er didn’t deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat a@% wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt.”
He has doubled down on that comment.
Even for the Democrats, though, this naked anti-Americanism is too dangerous, too fast, too soon, so they’ve taken to finally calling him out despite not doing so when it was just reported he might have been a Nazi in a previous life.
To the Democrats, the process is secondary to the goal. They seem to have little understanding that the process of achieving the goal can sometimes undermine that very goal, and even when it doesn’t, it can also build unsustainable institutions. You win the crown but lose the kingdom.
Lies are security expenses that explode security expenses while they also make the liars blind.
The Democrat believes in such things as useful lies, noble lies. He must, or else he would have to open up his eyes and see the white devil was him the whole time. Democrats, the Nazi calls are coming from within your own home.
The Republicans were recently able to pull off a little mask-off theater with the Democrats when a House subcommittee held a hearing on the allegations that the left intends on packing the Supreme Court to ram through their fundamental transformation of America.
During the committee, the members were offered an opportunity to condemn such actions. Not one Democrat took up the offer.
Democrats act as if they will never lose power again, because they don’t plan on doing so.
No one pulls a weapon if they think it will be used against them, unless they are a fool, or desperate.
In this case the weapon, court packing, might be enough to end its need after a few new key rulings that will surely be fast-tracked the moment such a court is confirmed.
This writer does not believe the Democrats are fools, even if they are down to one squinting eye when they look at the world. They may be getting increasingly desperate, but they still have real power, including in the courts, and real hope they can pull off a Midterm win.
They are not recklessly desperate, rather they are recklessly confident.
Were they to imagine power shifts, they would understand how destabilizing to society it would be if after every party change the terms of civic governance were existentially changed.
There would be a breakdown in legacy understanding across the board as institutions would crumble with each new court packing or purging effort, rendering them unable to mature, unable to build expertise, which would ironically destroy the priest-class of the progressive.
The nakedness of the anti-republicanism of the Democratic Party was made fully naked before the world. Lucky for them, the world largely missed it.
The capstone of the nakedness of the anti-republican nature of the Democratic Party to me is their willingness to use corporate and state violence to attempt force onto Americans their gender ideology.
Just 10 years ago, catching a mainline Democrat advocating the state take away the child of a parent who refused to allow their child to receive “gender affirming care” would be near-impossible. Anyone suggesting we were heading down that road would be called a fake news spreading white supremacist homophobic transphobe Nazi.
They would be nuked from corporate and government life.
Now, California is openly seizing children from parents for refusing to allow them to pursue the transgendered lifestyle.
To the progressive, they are sure they are right that children need to be told about the fluidity of gender. This belief is dangerous, but not anti-American in and of itself.
Where the progressive crosses the line is when they assume that the first belief justifies this second one, that corporate coercion and state coercion can be used to FORCE Americans to live as if that belief were true.
To the progressive, the allowable thought is to be protected by force from the unallowable thought. They do not live in American bravery, unafraid of bad thoughts in public spaces; they live in fear of the white devil killing them all lest they stay vigilant in eliminating all the white devil powers, its institutions.
As a matter of fact, they would call an appeal to American bravery in the face of public wrongness nothing but code for white supremacism, cutting off critical processing of the full contextuality of such a now “dangerous” belief as individual liberty.
These institutions include the Bill of Rights, the Bible, meritocracy, the gender binary, heterosexual normalization, the nuclear family, the family, the age of consent, marriage, etc.….
Yet while they fight to dismantle the white devil’s power, they use his power, his American rule of law, to block direct resistance to the spreading infection.
Now, they’re about to no longer even need that power, as they clearly don’t seem to follow it in California. In Progressive California, it is illegal to assume, as a parent, your child should not be allowed to go through gender therapy that assumes their assumption they can change the sex they were born as.
Transgenderism was the last tip of the progressive spear, built on the power of the disenfranchised victim being existentially threatened by the white devil’s institutions, but it is also the unmasker of the parasite itself.
It reveals the existential divide between a people who are fighting the white devil of their own making and a people just wanting to pursue their own happiness on their own terms, respecting the rights of others to do the same.
Yet increasingly we are recognizing that more and more of our neighbors, our progressive neighbors, never intended to play the American game at all, even if they are only now realizing it. They are not respecters of American liberty, so they should no longer receive it.
The progressives feel the same about us, we are no respecters of progressive moral codes, we deserve no progressive equity.
The political battles in America aren’t as neat and tidy as the white devil fighters versus the Americans, but this writer believes the real heart of power in this land exists with these two factions. Yet one of them, the American one, has yet to discover who and what it is as most Americans are either still looking to Trump and the RNC or are disenfranchised altogether.
Unless and until American parties emerge outside the RNC and DNC, the effective resistance to the parasite now emerging as its own nation, Progressive U.S., will continue to only be blunted, at worse, which will only delay the inevitable collapse and probable balkanization of our republic.
