"And they shall lead us...."

 I had started this morning on this post, but I quickly ran out of gas, it was a long day at work and I had this idea for a post and wanted to work on it but by the time I got home, my creativity was zip, zero, zilch, nada, goose egg...well you get the picture.  I have a few times pushed through and posted something anyway but reading it later, I was embarrassed because it wasn't very good.


    Well anyway y'all by the way have seen the latest push to disarm the citizens by the democrats and the gun control statist and other leftist groups.  I have stated many times that the end goal is to break the middle class, to have a very rich group and a bunch of poor people depending on the government for survival and sustenance.  This guaranteeing the big government control, I know what is best for you crowd permanent control.   I have blogged in the past several times about the Kulaks.   Why do I use a reference to "Kulaks" to describe the middle class?, to understand your enemy, you have to know your enemy including the references they use.  They use "Kulaks" to describe the landowning peasants of the Russian Middle class.

Here is an exerpt from one of my posts on the "Kulak" heading. back in 2015, before Trump even popped up on the radar and Hillary was already positioning herself for her inaugural run for the presidency.

     In Rules for Radicals, several themes persist throughout Alinsky’s lessons to future community organizers. The most notable is his use of symbol construction to strengthen the unity within an organization. Often, he would draw on loyalty to a particular church or religious affiliation to create a firmly structured organization with which to operate. The reason being that symbols by which communities could identify themselves created strongly structured organizations that were easier to mobilize in implementing direct action. Once the community was united behind a common symbol, Alinsky would find a common enemy for the community to be united against.
The use of common enemy against a community was done to promote another theme of Rules for Radicals, nonviolent conflict as a uniting element in communities. Alinsky would find an external antagonist to turn into a common enemy for the community within which he was operating. Often, this enemy would be a local politician or agency that had some involvement with activity that was causing detriment to the community. His goal was to unite a group through conflict with an external antagonist. Once the enemy was established, the community would come together in opposition of it.
     This management of conflict heightened awareness within the community as to the similarities its members shared as well as what differentiated them from those outside of their organization. The use of conflict also allowed for the goal of the group to be clearly defined. With an established external antagonist, the community’s goal would be to defeat that enemy, whether it be a politician, policy, or opposing agency.

     I have mentioned in the past that the modern SJW's are Marxist and they are doing what history taught them.  I will  make a historical point..remember the external antagonist that is required for the SJW's?

According to the political theory of Marxism–Leninism of the early 20th century, the kulaks were class enemies of the poorer peasants. Vladimir Ilyich Lenin described them as "bloodsuckers, vampires, plunderers of the people and profiteers, who fatten on famine.” Marxism–Leninism had intended a revolution to liberate poor peasants and farm laborers alongside the proletariat (urban and industrial workers). In addition, the planned economy of Soviet Bolshevism required the collectivisation of farms and land to allow industrialisation or conversion to large-scale agricultural production. In practice, government officials violently seized kulak farms and murdered resisters; others were deported to labor camps.

    According to the political theory of Marxism–Obamaism of the early 21th century, the white people were class enemies of the poorer peasants. Barack Obama described them as "bloodsuckers, vampires, bitter clingers, plunderers of the people and profiteers, who fatten on white privilege.” Marxism–Obamaism intended a revolution to liberate poor urban people and farm laborers alongside the cube dweller. In addition, the planned economy of Globalism Bolshevism required the collectivization of assets to allow  the future green economy or conversion to large-scale clean energy production. In practice, government officials violently seized white middle class assets and murdered resisters; others were deported to FEMA camps..


     It isn't much of a stretch, I see history replaying before me, I see the same thing that Lenin and later Stalin did to break the power of the kulaks whom were land owning peasants.  In the modern sense, they need to break what they call the political power of the middle class to guarantee their power.  If they can use social pressure to make a law to seize the assets of people that are considered "class enemies".  Remember the 401K's that millions of people have....most of them are middle class and white.  That is an example.  That is billions of dollars sitting in there where the government can't touch it....But the government can change the rules, then seize it....You doubt me?  look at Greece, Cyprus and other places.  The government seized assets for the "Common good".  See a parallel?  the outrage you see against whites is just an excuse for plunder on a wide scale.  The government in the name of social justice and equality can and will seize assets....They will use the social outrage, the same thing Lenin and Stalin used against the Kulaks to further the transforming of Russia into the Soviet Union.  The enemy of the political elites are the middle class, the SJW's are useful idiots being used to create a have and an have not society.  The middle class is a check on the power of the political elite.  The elitist would have a complete society that depended on them for sustenance..once you control their sustenance, you control them....then you can do whatever you wanted.  That is the Endgame.

  What I am getting at is that once totalatarian government is in place, they first start subverting the kids, they kids are easiest to manipulate...I will use a video clip from Samurai Jack the 5th season, to make a point.
  The subtitles are in another language...Hey I take what I can get.
 
    The statist subvert the kids first because they are the most malleable to support the goals of the state.  For years after the Bolsheviks took over Russia and it became the Soviet Union, there was an organization that was formed to indoctrinate the young, they are called the Young Pioneers  and besides learning the tenets of Marxism, they also were used to spy on the parents and the kids would rat out their parents if they did something that violated the decrees from the local communist party commissar.  In Russian life, especially back then, they had a little shrine in each houses with religious artifacts relating to the orthodox church  The kids were indoctrinated to believe that there was no god but Marx and Lenin and later Stalin, and the kids would squeal to the commissar what their parents are doing involving religion, writing, who the friends were and many others.  As part of communist life was the act of "denouncing" someone who has strayed from the path of true marxism and using the power of the state depending on the transgression the "denounced" would be humiliated, beaten, shipped to a gulag to work off their sin or even killed.

     Hitler also did the same thing, he created the HJ or the "Hitler Youth",
The members of the Hitler Youth were viewed as ensuring the future of Nazi Germany and were indoctrinated in Nazi ideology, including racism. The Hitler Youth appropriated many of its activities of the Boy Scout movement (which was banned in 1935), including camping and hiking. However, over time it changed in content and intention. For example, many activities closely resembled military training, with weapons training, assault course circuits and basic tactics. The aim was to instill the motivation that would enable its members to fight faithfully for Nazi Germany as soldiers. There was great emphasis on physical fitness and hardness and military training than on academic study. Sacrifice for the cause was inculcated into their training. Former Hitler Youth, Franz Jagemann claimed for instance that the notion "Germany must live" even if they (members of the HJ) had to die was "hammered" into them.

The Hitler Youth were used to break up Church youth groups, and in anti-Church indoctrination, used to spy on religious classes and Bible studies, and interfere with church attendance. Education and training programs for the Hitler Youth were designed to undermine the values of the traditional elitist structures of German society along with their privileges; their training also aimed at an obliteration of social and intellectual distinctions between the classes, so as to be replaced and dominated by the political goals of Hitler's totalitarian dictatorship. Besides promoting a doctrine of classlessness, additional training was provided that linked state-identified enemies such as Jews with Germany's previous defeat in the First World War, and societal decline.As historian Richard Evans observes, "The songs they sang were Nazi songs. The books they read were Nazi books.   They are true believers.   What I am doing with my long post is making parallels from the past is to describe what I see now going on, we have had several generations of kids indoctrinated with the belief that the state is mother, the state is father and the state knows what is best.  We have had several generations of kids that are willing to surrender their birthright of freedom on the alter of "big Brotherism".  The latest movement to gut the 2nd amendment is part of the plan, because if the people or in this case the "kulaks" are unarmed, then their property can be seized for redistribution to the masses in "reparations" for past misdeeds.  This in effect will create 2 classes of people, the super rich who lold the power, and the unwashed masses that depend on the state for protection, and sustenance.   This is the endgame of what is being played out.
Here is a link where a Hitler speech was dubbed over on the darling of the left Hogg,
    Youtube put up a block, that you have to get past and it isn't "sharable" so I cut and pasted a link,
 Hogg/Hitler Youtube link

    The far left is using the kids to push their agenda, the kids are being used by Soro's and his crowd.  Anybody that believes that this is a kid run movement is living in lala land and delusional.  The people providing the logistics are professional leftist and organizers.
     This is what will happen to us once we give up our means of self defense against evil from both people or governments.

3 ways to prevent an entitlement attitude with your kids.....

   I figure to change things up today,  I will go back to a regularly scheduled rant I have brewing tomorrow.  But I saw something on the facebook thingie I occasionally visit. 
     I sometimes post stuff from other people especially if I think it is really good.  This is a hard one for me...it is a parents nature to make sure their kids do better than they did.   I am sometimes guilty of this, I am very proud of my son and there is a tendency to get stuff for the kid.  I sometimes wonder if I am either too easy or too hard on my son.  I hope I strive a good balance of "softie" or a "hardass" to him.   I guess it is human nature to second guess ourselves.....

The culture around us has gradually shifted America’s mindset to believing that we all have our rights, including the “right” to have what we want, the way we want it, when we want it. We would call this an entitlement attitude.It’s an attitude that has led many adults to live off government handouts, and many others to think they should have in their 20’s everything that took their parents a lifetime to earn and accumulate.

When it comes to our kids, some are naturally bent more towards an attitude of entitlement than others.  Of our two oldest, one of them naturally displays more entitlement than the other simply by their personality.

But while an attitude of entitlement poses a greater threat to our children in their future as adults than it may right now, the importance of curbing it right now is vital.  An attitude of entitlement robs a person of an attitude of gratitude, servant hood, and the desire to work hard for what they have.
However, there are some things that, as parents, we can do to prevent this attitude in our kids that the world around them so naturally tries to instill.
Here are three opportunities you can intentionally give your children to help them avoid an entitlement mentality.
Give them opportunities to:


1.  WORK HARD for what they want
Who ever said that a child deserves an iPod, tablet, or game system, just because they bear your last name?  Is a parent just a Grizzly Gus for refusing to give their kids whatever they want, or are they rather just exercising good and effective parenting skills by laying down some rules and limitations.
The next time your child wants that new “something,” try one of the following:
  • Let them work around the house for payment (allowance) on chores completed, etc.
  • For certain items, agree to pay for the second half once they have earned the first half.  This still puts the ball in their court to take initiative to get what they want.
  • Encourage them to learn a trade or develop a talent working or making something that can give them a small income. Our kids have done duct tape pens and wallets as well as mowed lawns and shoveled snow.
It’s good for our kids to earn the things they want by working to get them. That’s called real life.
Don’t expect that your kids can live in fantasy land all their childhood by getting everything they want, and it not affect them when they enter the real world of adulthood someday.  The older they get, the more this point applies.  As they get older, increase their opportunities to work hard for what they want. It’s a win-win for both of you.
Proverbs 13:11   “Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.”
Ecclesiastes 4:13   “Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king.”
Also, encourage your kids to earn money to pay for gifts they will give to others.  This allows them to be the ones to actually give, instead of just mom and dad giving for them.
Secondly, give them opportunities to:

2.  GIVE BACK for what they’ve been given
Every child ought not to just expect that being a part of a family means an automatic right to all the benefits of a family without any contribution of their own.
If everyone in the family benefits from food on the table, clean dishes, clean clothes, and many other things, then it’s not too much to expect that everyone can contribute to cleaning off the table, washing the dishes, and folding the clothes, etc.
As much as we love our kids, sometimes we’re guilty to only give, give, give, and rarely expect much contribution in return for the overall good and success of the family. Helping our kids understand their responsibility to give back will be a preventative to an entitlement attitude.


Thirdly, give them opportunities to:
3.  EXPRESS THANKS for what they have
In addition to normal times like birthdays and Christmas, there are always going to be people who choose to be generous to your family and your kids. It may be grandparents, friends, or just acquaintances who desire to be a blessing.
In any case, it’s very important to use those opportunities to teach our kids to be intentionally grateful by giving verbal and written expressions of thanks.
Teach your kids that a handwritten note for gifts they receive is still one of the most effective forms of gratitude.  Have them make personal phone calls or home visits to people who have done special things for them.
Nothing can seem less appreciated like when someone gives of their time or money to never hear from the person on the receiving end of their sacrifice.
The more we teach our children to be thankful and to express it, the less of an entitlement attitude they will develop.
It’s not hard to spot an attitude of entitlement in a child nowadays.  You can hear it in their voice and see it on their face from a mile away. And no one enjoys it, not even the child who possesses it. It’s taxing on the child, the parents, and anyone else within earshot.
But on the opposite extreme, how refreshing is it to meet a young person who is willing to work hard, not afraid to give back, and naturally expresses gratitude?  I think you’d agree, they’re diamonds in the ruff.
What a blessing we can give to our kids and the people whose paths they will cross in their lives by nurturing into their hearts an attitude of gratitude instead of an attitude of entitlement.  The difference between the two is night and day.  One looks for opportunities to give while the other seeks only what it can take.

"What every Child Should Know..." 1950's Russia

I ran across this from English Russia, I always thought the art work was interesting and the style is emulated today especially with stuff depicting the democrats, occupy movement and other leftist groups.  I also noticed that the "Kids doing the right thing" are wearing the Red neckerchief of the "Young Pioneer" movement.  This movement is supposed to instil the "Ideals of the modern Soviet Man" at a young age.   The posters are what is considered "Propaganda" but actually most of it are good lessons for all children to know to be a better person and a productive member of society, which these posters tried to instill what I call proper values.  It is a universal truth and I wonder if we would be better off if this stuff is taught, not by the state, but by the parents and expected by society.

  I went on and looked up some information on the "Young Pioneer" movement.
     A pioneer movement is an organization for children operated by a communist party. Typically children enter into the organization in elementary school and continue until adolescence. The adolescents then typically join the Young Communist League. Prior to the 1990s there was a wide cooperation between pioneer and similar movements of about 30 countries, coordinated by the international organization, International Committee of Children's and Adolescents' Movements (French: Comité international des mouvements d'enfants et d'adolescents, CIMEA), founded in 1958, with headquarters in Budapest.
    
Pioneer movements exist in countries where the Communist Party is in power as well as in some countries where the Communist Party is in opposition, if the party is large enough to support a children's organization. In countries ruled by Communist Parties, membership of the pioneer movement is officially optional. However, membership provides many benefits, so the vast majority of children typically join the movement (although at different ages). During the existence of the Soviet Union, thousands of Young Pioneer camps and Young Pioneer Palaces were built exclusively for Young Pioneers, which were free of charge, sponsored by the government and trade unions. There were many newspapers and magazines published for Young Pioneers in millions of copies.
The Pioneer movement was modeled on the Scout movement, but there are some distinct differences. Most notably, the Scout movement is independent of government control and political parties. Some features, however, are reminiscent of the Scout movement. The two movements share some principles like preparedness and promotion of sports and outdoor skills. The pioneer movement also includes teaching of communist principles. Opponents of Communist states claim that this is a form of indoctrination.
A member of the movement is known as a pioneer, and a kerchief or necktie — typically red, but sometimes light blue — is the traditional item of clothing worn by a pioneer. The pioneer organization is often named after a famous party member that is considered a suitable role model for young communists. In the Soviet Union it was Vladimir Lenin; in East Germany, it was Ernst Thälmann. The Thälmann pioneers were taught the slogan "Ernst Thälmann is my role model. We wear our red scarf with pride." Albania, which severed diplomatic relations with the USSR in 1961, also had a variant of Pioneer organization, called Pioneers of Enver, named after the communist ruler of Albania, Enver Hoxha.


                              Depicting Lenin and the Quote" Always Ready"
The motto of the "Young Pioneers"
The propaganda and informational posters in the Soviet state were a popular form of art and targeted different slices of society. You come to a factory where workers work and see the "Don't steal from the factory!" or "Be careful with machinery!" posters around. You go out on the streets - you see different sorts of posters. Then when you enter a school for kids you get to see posters too, now these ones are targeted towards children. So what did kids have to know according to the propaganda masters of the State? Here is what "Every Boy Should Know"



"Playing on the street can be dangerous"
Although I don't think there were that many cars in 1950's Soviet Union

"Become a worthy son of the motherland" 
"Help the smaller ones without asking questions"

"Learn to do everything by yourself at an early age"

 "Love thy work, Learn to do something skillful with your hands"


"I will master this"

"Don't be a bully to small ones..The one who doesn't bully looks soo good"

"Never do this..."


"Help your parents, We should help our mom together"


 "We can do everything ourselves..We are helping our Mom"


 "You Never Lie"


"Talk the Truth, Honor your Team.."
If memory serves, the picture shown on the wall is of a kid that is a "hero" to the Young Pioneer movement, according to legend, he renounced his parents for the good of the state back in the 1920's I believe.


"Never take a drop,"  The bottle says "wine"


You should value every your minute, count all your time, don’t mess your schedule, right schedule will help us all!”The clock hands say "Day Schedule"



“Don’t be like this!”. This implies that you shouldn’t sit in the bus or other public transport if the elder people are standing.  You notice that the boy is dressed as the "Son of a Czar or nobleman would be dressed.


"Succeed in your studies"

   I think these would be worthwhile lessons for all kids be they from the United States or from other countries, the truths are universal

UFO (1970) British TV Series

I spent quite a few hours watching "youtube" on our new TV, We got a 55" TV from Sams as a joint Christmas Present from us to us.  Well We were told to get the "smart TV" option.  And I found "youtube" and it plays through wireless feature of the TV.  I basically jump on my house network and look at video's.  Well I looked up the series "UFO" that I remembered watching when I was 6 years old.  I really liked that series and a lot of people during that time didn't know what to make of it.  I had a couple of the toys, from the interceptor in Green and the Mobile.
 Well the toys didn't survive my childhood.  I wish in retrospect that I still had them, but kids are kids.
Well I spend a lot of time this morning watching "UFO" episodes and it was an enjoyable trip down memory lane for me....but Something I noticed.....Man they SMOKE in the series.......And they called it the Future....I guess the PC and the health police didn't survive in that future.  Some of the information is compliments of "Wiki", the pics are from "google" and I found another website that talks about it in much more detail
     Here is a exerpt from Wiki on it:

    
UFO is a 1970 British television science fiction series about an alien invasion of Earth, created by Gerry Anderson and Sylvia Anderson with Reg Hill, and produced by the Andersons and Lew Grade's Century 21 Productions for Grade's ITC Entertainment company.
UFO first aired in the UK and Canada in 1970 and in US syndication over the next two years. In all, 26 episodes, including the pilot, were filmed over the course of more than a year, with a five-month production break caused by the closure of the MGM-British Studios in Borehamwood, where the show was initially made.
The Andersons had previously made a number of very successful children's science fiction series using marionettes, including Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, and Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. They had also made one live-action science fiction movie, Doppelgänger, also known as Journey to the Far Side of the Sun, and now felt ready to move into live-action television and aim at a more adult market.
UFO was the Andersons' first totally live-action TV series. Despite the assumption of many TV station executives, the series was not aimed at children but was intended for an older audience; many episodes featured adult themes such as adultery, divorce, and drug use. Most of the cast were newcomers to Century 21 although star Ed Bishop had previously worked with the Andersons as a voice actor on Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons.
      The show's basic premise is that in the near future – a fictional version of 1980 (a date indicated in the opening credits) – Earth is being visited and attacked by aliens from a dying planet and humans are being covertly harvested for their organs by the aliens. The show's main cast of characters are members of a secret, high-technology international agency called SHADO (an acronym for Supreme Headquarters, Alien Defence Organisation) established to defend Earth and humanity against the mysterious aliens and learn more about them.

   
To defend against the aliens, a secret organisation called SHADO, the Supreme Headquarters, Alien Defence Organisation, is established. Operating behind the cover of the Harlington-Straker Studios movie studio in England, SHADO is headed by Commander Edward Straker (Ed Bishop), a former United States Air Force colonel and astronaut who poses as the studio's chief executive.
Establishing the main character as a studio executive was a cost-saving move by the producers: the studio was the actual studio where the series was being filmed, originally the MGM-British Studios and later Pinewood Studios – although the Harlington-Straker studio office block seen throughout the series was actually Neptune House, a building at the former British National Studios in Borehamwood that was owned by ATV. Pinewood's studio buildings and streetscapes were used extensively in later episodes, particularly "Timelash" and "Mindbender", the latter featuring scenes that showed the behind-the-scenes workings of the UFO sets when Straker briefly finds himself hallucinating that he is an actor on a TV series and all his SHADO colleagues are likewise actors.
Typical of Anderson productions, the studio-as-cover idea was both practical and cost-effective for the production and provided a ready-made vehicle for the viewer's suspension of disbelief. It removed the need to build an expensive exterior set for the SHADO base and combined the all-important "secret" cover (concealment and secrecy are always central themes in Anderson dramas) with the trademark ring of at least nominal plausibility. A studio was a business where unusual events and routines would not be remarkable or even noticed. Comings and goings at odd times, the movement of vehicles, equipment, people and material would not excite undue interest and could easily be explained away as "sets", "props", or "extras".

"Open letter to every teenager"


A Judges words back in 1959 have gone viral.  Some sage advice from a judge is going viral and soon could be making its way to a Facebook post near you. In 1959, Judge Philip B. Gilliam of Denver, Colorado, published a letter in the Pierce County Tribune in North Dakota.
Fast-forward just over half a century when in 2010 the Tribune's editor posted the letter on the paper's website. From there, principal John Tapene all the way in New Zealand posted the letter in his school's newsletter. Finally, some of Judge Gilliam's wise words found their way to Canadian radio station 96.7, which posted the letter to its Facebook wall with the title "Every teenager should have this framed and hung on their wall in their room."







Open Letter to Teenager
Always we hear the plaintive cry of the teen-ager. What can we do?...Were can we go?
The answer is GO HOME!
Hang the storm windows, paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves, mow the lawn, shovel the walk. Wash the car, learn to cook, scrub some floors. Repair the sink, build a boat, get a job.
Help the minister, priest, or rabbi, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army. Visit the sick, assist the poor, study your lessons. And then when you are through - and not too tired - read a book.
Your parents do not owe you entertainment. Your city or village does not owe you recreational facilities.
The world does not owe you a living...You owe the world something.
You owe it your time and your energy and your talents so that no one will be at war or in poverty or sick or lonely again.
Grow up; quit being a crybaby. Get out of your dream world and develop a backbone, not a wishbone, and start acting like a man or a lady.
You're supposed to be mature enough to accept some of the responsibility your parents have carried for years.
They have nursed, protected, helped, appealed, begged, excused, tolerated and denied themselves needed comforts so that you could have every benefit. This they have done gladly, for you are their dearest treasure.
But now, you have no right to expect them to bow to every whim and fancy just because selfish ego instead of common sense dominates your personality, thinking and request.
In Heaven's name, grow up and go home!

How times have changed....

The kids used to learn gun safety in school...and their parents.  You didn't have a bunch of accidents and kids doing dumb crap with firearms.   Now a days if a kid saw a gun at school, they would want to call a councilor or something because "little jimmy is emotionally scarred and traumatized"   Thanks to 50+ years of liberal leftist indoctrinations in the schools, we have a generation of wimps.  

     I shamelessly clipped it off trainwreck

Gun Safety Class at an Indiana School, 1956
