Today a look at the ideas of the liberal elites past and present, and these ideas always being from their elitist perspective of asserting their self-conferred right as our superiors to rule over us. By us I mean all of us who aren’t the elites (the establishments), and us and them being colorless, religion-less, genderless, etcetera, descriptions.
I watched Brit Hume pronounce one of his profundities two nights ago as he took what I assumed was a swipe at Trump. He quoted a journalist of the early twentieth century named H.L. Mencken, who said, “As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
This statement shows both the distain for the common people who live in/under the system the news media elites have themselves created by degeneration into opinion and hearsay based reporting; and it demonstrated the subtle way Mr. Hume projects his cleverly composed and intentioned insults he thinks are only understood by his fellow elites. It is meant to keep all those who may stray, from orthodoxy’s echo chamber and the shackles of their group think, in fear of his/their ridicule and banishment from their ranks. The last thing a media elitist wants is to be thought of as is not sophisticated enough to think exactly as all their peers, or to be unable or lacking the craft ability to insult or be profane while disguising it from those being insulted. The things they all have in common are these points. For those asking why they are all against Trump, herein lies your answer – he lacks this their sophistication.
Mr. Hume, I have a H.L. Mencken quote for you to show you how sophisticated I am, “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos.”
How comfortable is Mr. Hume with H.L. Mencken if we judge him as they now judge all men they decide to? If we find the worst things he has ever said and then define him by their constant recitation? Here is another H.L. Mencken quote found at his Wikipedia page, “The educated negro of today is a failure, not because he meets insuperable difficulties in life, but because he is a negro. He is, in brief, a low-caste man, to the manner born, and he will remain inert and inefficient until fifty generations of him have lived in civilization. And even then, the superior white race will be fifty generations ahead of him.”
Mr. Mencken wasn’t correct in this typical elitist statement, so why should we think he would be in anything? And isn’t quoting him offensive (to we of the lower castes of all colors) by association? Shouldn’t Mr. Hume denounce him as a racist? Or is Mencken pardoned because he is an elitist and an icon of journalism?
You see if the truth is told, in the world of sophisticated journalism racism is merely a tool in the toolbox of methods of personal destruction. It is only used when and if one of us, we the unsophisticated, threatens to diminish their status (the establishment – the elites in all the seats of power and control).
This is what is at issue in the election; do we continue with those who have mislead the nation and the world to the brink of the abyss and now argue for us to choose them to take us forward, over the brink and into mass misery. I choose the other way, the way of the outsider who thinks in ways that contradict and countermand the ways that have led us into this fatal decay.
I would further assert that Mr. Mencken’s theory has long since come true as we degraded into the chaos of democracy by demagoguery and the resulting moron more so only seems to be one by what are intentioned policy failures and the refusal to reverse their know course. These are intentional strategies meant to keep the lower castes as the lower castes, and to pacify them only until the elites fully solidify their position of power and can then abandon all the remaining restrictions hindering their schemes of totalitarian control. This is the intention of the globalist elites.
The darn US keeps messing it up by our showing it is possible to break the chains of the caste system – and in this we also see why the attacks on this “The American Dream.” We are the sign that contradicts their theory, proving it to be false and failed. They are not our superiors but show themselves much less by their treatment of their neighbor, by inciting and agitating societies into consuming themselves.
We as a people need to stop seeing the threat in the unchangeable outward appearance of people, and rather see it where it is the most damaging, in the ideas of those teaching and leading the culture: not in stated intentions but in what is produced, and the desired product should be peace and security as the general welfare of the nation first, then to/by exporting our ideas to the world. These are the ideas that made this nation great and abandoning them are what has led to its decline. These same ideas will have the same effect if reinstituted here and everywhere they are vigorously implemented.
As we have discussed here many times in past posts, Matthew 7 begins with telling us not to judge if we are unable to judge rightly. We know the full context of this statement found in verse 1 is seen when the LORD goes on to further define it is later verses. There He tells of removing the mote from our eye, hindering our ability to judge, so we can see clearly to then help our brother by the edification (educate) that comes with proper judgment.
The chapter ends by speaking of the storms that come and tells us the only house that can stand through them is the one that has dug deep and built its foundation upon the firm foundation of the bedrock, this also speaking of the foundation of right judgment. It is speaking against building upon the shifting sand of ever changing standards of judgment, as it is in our opinion based world and the resulting pop culture relativism. In our day opinion is the ever-shifting judgment that claims itself as the substance upon which decision can and should be based. They are themselves baseless and all built upon them will inevitable crumble in life’s storms.
Matthew 7
1 Judge not, that you be not judged.
2 For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why behold you the mote [speck] that is in your brother’s eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye [the balance beam of the scales of justice]?
4 Or how wilt you say to your brother, Let me pull out the mote out of your eye; and, behold, a beam is in your own eye?
5 You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then shall you see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother’s eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast you your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter you in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
21 Not every one that says unto me, LORD, LORD, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine, and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that hears these sayings of mine, and does them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Psalms 59
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5 You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8 But you, O LORD, shall laugh at them; you shall have all the heathen in derision.
9 Because of his strength will I wait upon you: for God is my defense.
10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O LORD our shield.
12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God rules in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.
14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of your power; yea, I will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning: for you have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.
17 Unto you, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy.
