A congressional hearing this week offers profound insight into the values we’ve grouped behind the imperfect labels of “left” and “right” in contemporary politics.
In addition to winning “…a victory for actual kindness,” Dr Haim won a victory for courage. He showed us all what courage in action looks like. His “whistleblowing” was also a pressure test for the Federal government. And like almost all government pressure tests these days, the test revealed the Regime’s vile mendacity.
I've been thinking about courage vs valor of late. Similar but not exactly the same. Courage is harder. Scarier. It is when you think through the risks, the costs and do it anyway.
I think of valor as almost the same thing as diving for a catch in football or baseball. It is rooted in one's values, but it is a reaction--an almost involuntary action.
We need both, but courage is more important and less common these day.
Good observation; if they're going to call the most genocidal industry health-"care..." Not to mention the term "assisted dying" [though if it were actually humane, I wouldn't have an issue with it, for those who make that choice... take it from someone whose life has been made shit by health "care" ..]
Anyway, you've provided a good example of what would be a great subversive practice -- to keep using their Orwellian terms against them, as though just making an innocent suggestion.
Thanks. I think many miss a main point concerning assisted suicide. For a doctor to do it, it violates the hippocratic oath, and it puts him in the position of trying to think about whether it’s good or bad for the person to live. The oath was supposed to steer one away from that always, try to keep the person alive and not consider otherwise. if a person wants to kill himself then that’s different but keep the doctors out of it. They really know how to use Orwellian language, we need to beat them at their own game.
Which is also why the Hippocratic Oath is rarely if ever used by modern medical schools. It raises too many inconvenient questions about what physicians should and shouldn’t do in the practice of medicine. Such as entering into value judgments about the “worth” of a patient’s life.
This is painful to me, to everything I believed in for most of my life. In undergrad, my major was Political Science, and my choice was selected based on what I was most interested in: my love of our founding and our miraculous constitution and the brilliance, the once in a millennium brilliance of our founders. Lots of kids took the major for a future in law. I didn’t. When these goons mouth off in these show trial hearings it makes me want to born it all down, and that’s what hurts. (Funny. I just got a Racket News notification titled “Burn it all Down”. Somebody speaking to me?). 50 years out of college I’m finally understanding the goal of terrorists. Make the population sick of the current regime until they break, then in the chaos, seize the power. There’s nothing better than what our founders left for us, so any chaos that eventually breaks out leaves us vulnerable to a menu of ideologies none of us would want to live under. Again, that’s what makes me sad.
Dr. Haim’s false persecution was high on my list of reasons for our political change. “He was indicted! He’s guilty!” 90% of Federal prosecutions end up in pre-trial guilty pleas. Of the remainder, there’s a 90% conviction rate. Prosecutors probably a 99.999% chance of the Grand Jury returning an indictment. This is all theater. But 50% of our country seems to believe the fiction. We don’t deserve the legacy we have been given by our founders.
The Deep State has brought home the destabilizing recipe used on numerous nations across the globe to do just this to Americans, more effective than ever thought possible with militarized police, censorship by algorithm, and constant surveillance: “Make the population sick of the current regime until they break, then in the chaos, seize the power” all to maintain their murderous war machine.
Yes and transgender ideology is their coveted crafted cloaked-“secret” weapon of sociopolitical destabilization. That’s why CIA/USAID have $hipped it out to all vulnerable countries of interest. Not that it isn’t also a private public partnership astroturfed “liberation” movement and growth industry for the medical murder complex. Quackademic queer theory and emotional social learning ESL promoted by UNESCO have found fertile ground in Marxist captured kindergarten through university pedagogy, deliberately instantiating mental illness. A disability development industrial complex per the schematic of Mao’s cultural revolution for a new Red (Queer) Guard. It’s Trauma based mind control i.e. MK Ultra.
Excellent comment. One quibble. I know that I deserve the legacy given by our founders— as do you, and as do many of those down here in this comments section, too. As do the children, and the children of the future. But sure, some people who happen to have US citizenship are utter ingrates and fools. It was ever thus.
For Jamie, Esq, every day before the camera is an opportunity for a costumed, scripted, stage play, full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing. Hot air, no more.
The Democrats have sold their souls to the Devil. They routinely back abortion and infanticide, mutilation, and sterilization. They work against the constitution and the country. They wouldn't be happy even if China took over and killed every non-communist in the country.
Dr. Haim understood the oath that he took “to do no harm.” All the others did not. I applaud he and his wife for remaining courageous throughout this ordeal.
For what's left of the center left, this stuff is just too horrific for them to compute. Cognitive dissonance is the only thing holding the Democratic party together.
Disembodied headbound emotionally disassociated idealistic ideological self protection describes the entrancement. They overload/short circuit in the face of any contradiction of their narrative narcosis. So they are especially vulnerable to any cognitive dissonance and meltdown into decompensation.. I think this is preferable to the sleepwalking into violence/genocidal atrocities potential of this classic witch hunt/Jacobin scapegoating cult/mob psychopathology/totalitarian cultism
For some of them, yes. I play music with a blue pilled but otherwise intelligent boomer who agreed with me last week that vaccines can't stop RNA respiratory viruses because they mutate too fast.
Outside of the emotional manipulation, he's capable of reasoning through things, but had I pushed harder and said that this means the Covid vaxxes would never stop the spread and that the mandates were deeply unethical, he would have fought me over it.
For people like him it's not as extreme as you describe.
I read Dr Haim's thread on X last night. It is after reading that, watching the attacks by these evil deep-state Goblins, when I'm like fuck it. Let's go. I want to fight. I want to set ambushes for people like this. I want to burn their houses down.
Patience. They will do it to themselves. This is what the far left does, since at least the French Revolution.
Egg it on when they go after each other, yes. Refuse to help when it happens, yes. But don't risk *anything* for something that is going to happen anyway.
You're 1000% right. My response is total rage. It is the response they--and the demons that possess them, are looking for. I meant to take a deep breath, and then qualify my statement above--but got distracted and just pushed 'post'.
“Far left”? The French acted for the peasants against their arrogant rulers. I don’t see any real leftist movement like that in the U.S. Both political parties do the bidding of the autocracy and act against the working class, while they are taught to believe they’ll someday be management or millionaires and if they aren’t, it’s their own fault.
I'm no poli-sci or history expert, but I have read "The Three Musketeers" books. From them I got the impression that the French Revolution was an uprising of the peasant class against the Arostocratic ruling class. Their biggest complaints were high taxes, rife corruption and a two-tiered justice system. One scene had the Aristocracy contacting the most powerful criminal heads in the city and requesting riots. By the next morning they had literally dug trenches in the streets, erected barricades and set fires. I was reading this during Antifa's Summer of Love riots in Portland and Seattle's CHAZ...
The peasantry revolted due to a lot of unfair and injurious laws with roots in the Middle Ages and the feudal system, plus staration, poverty and such running rampant while the nobles and royals and priests feasted.
The bourgeoisie and the urban classes and workers revolted because the laws and rules locked them out of power, despite it being craftsmen, merhacnts and traders and such that made the nobility wealthy.
Then, the intellectuals joined in, turning a popular uprising against real tangible Bad Things into an ideological revolution, making it about ideas (and not bad ideas either, most of them), which then spiralled into The Terror-regime of the guillotine when ideology became more important than reality.
Which in a roundabout way paved the way for Napoleon, eventually.
Very succinct summary! I think that sentiments like Brian Nelson's above, which I often share, are what led to the indiscriminate use of the guillotine. Hopefully we'll be able to restrain ourselves a little better than the French.... In Dumas' books he talks about the Jacobins chosing who to execute on a given day based on hair color... 😳
Thank you - and I must state that summing up the French Revolution in so few sentences as I did is almost criminal, but a real plow-through (translating an idiom) means hundreds of pages of text, at least.
I think one would have to start after the Black Death or at least at some point in the Renaissance to get the pertinent "seeds" correct; it's the same with the Russian and Chinese revolutions too. Complex, with lots of factors often ignored to save space and time.
The American Reolution, and a few others (Sweden's rebellion against the Kalmar Union f.e.), stand out in being relatively simple to understand when it comes to the "Why"-questions: the revolutionaires were considerate enough to write those down for us.
Though we should remember the words of Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai when he was asked about the effects of the French Revolution:
"Too early to say" - i.e. our lives are brief and history is long, and thus our view tend to be too short-sighted due to history existing before we did, and after we're gone.
Yep. Look up Aubrey Cottle, the man that hacked GiveSendGo to leak the donation data for the Canadian Truckers and tell me with a straight face he (or whatever) is not on the left. The only way to say Cottle is not on the left is to remove or re-define any contemporary understanding of "the left".
But also: how easy it is to fool people (and then have them use the same techniques to keep themselves convinced and indoctrinated) with mere words, with words that so obviously don’t describe reality at all.
Fairy tales at least convey som deeper truth, are a metaphor for something. What is this torturing of the language? “Gender affirming care” for, well, you know what. It’s a way to train people to deny reality, and to accept the unreal, the non-existent, the lie.
Seething with righteous anger… May God forgive my dark avenging desires for retribution — Mutilation, in Kind — May they never again experience the beauty of sensuality in love, as they have inflicted onto our children.
In the will of our Father — May we all continue to stand against the darkness. Vehemently I pray… May Gods Wrath be upon them in all they have bestowed, tenfold.
The danger of understanding that language (communication + perception) can change the perception of reality, is starting to think language can change reality, as evidenced in this case.
Using a vague, general and non-descriptive neologism (Gender-affirming care) instead of castration and surgical alteration plus hormone therapy, is the symtom of the above: the word for the Thing becomes what the Thing is.
In the mind. Not in physical reality.
The refuge, and the test (for anyone) is comparing how one describes something, using older or archaic terms, technical descriptions, and terminology/language devoid of adjectives. What I'm trying to describe is the principle of Ceteris Paribus how it applies to semantics and communication.
Gender-affirming care:
Cut off the penis, ballsack, remove testicles, flay the cut-off penis so the skin can be used as liner for the new caity being carved out, sew it up and pack it with tamponades, change those at regular intervals several times per day while you clean out the new caity as it heals, and get used to using a dilotte (a dilating device) while healing, otherwise the new cavity will heal close since the body knows it shouldn't be there and treats it as a wound, pary to whatever you believe in you don't get sepsis in the lower abdomen, that your new orifice doesn't start to rot causing gangrene, that you don't win the cancer-Bingo from the hormones you'll be on for the rest of your decades-shorter-than-average-lifespan, and more and worse.
Now, if that's the way it's described - and all of it is correct - I honestly doubt even 1/1 000 would support it existing in any way at all.
It's all language. Turn a man into a woman, language. Turn a senile old harisniffing corrupt man into a statesman that's sharp as a tack. Turn the national debt into everyone elses fault. Language, all of it.
To be fair, you have to forgive the Democrats for confusing indictments with guilty verdicts. As I understand it, Federal prosecutions result in guilty verdicts or pleas about 98% of the time.
In addition to winning “…a victory for actual kindness,” Dr Haim won a victory for courage. He showed us all what courage in action looks like. His “whistleblowing” was also a pressure test for the Federal government. And like almost all government pressure tests these days, the test revealed the Regime’s vile mendacity.

Great distinction. Knowing what it’s going to cost, and doing it anyway.
Sometimes it involves pulling the trigger. Boy is that complicated.
like the song says, sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
Jesus admonished his followers to “count the cost”. Not “blind” faith but willing courageous beliefs and actions.
A firing squad is end of life care.
I’m still a believer in equal rights for women so we should see some of them at both ends of the rifles
Good observation; if they're going to call the most genocidal industry health-"care..." Not to mention the term "assisted dying" [though if it were actually humane, I wouldn't have an issue with it, for those who make that choice... take it from someone whose life has been made shit by health "care" ..]

Jamie Raskin is so repulsive that even cancer rejected him.
I laugh-groaned
But didn't you love his stylish and suave do-rag???
Part of his costume for the stage play.
For Jamie, Esq, every day before the camera is an opportunity for a costumed, scripted, stage play, full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing. Hot air, no more.
A real shame.
Any doctor - correction, butcher - who does this to a child needs to have it done to them....without anesthesia.
I agree 100% And I think they should not be allowed to use scalpels only dull rusty butter knives
Bust out the ol' medieval surgeons instruments!
As an MD, I can’t disagree.
The Democrats have sold their souls to the Devil. They routinely back abortion and infanticide, mutilation, and sterilization. They work against the constitution and the country. They wouldn't be happy even if China took over and killed every non-communist in the country.
Just call it what it is: human sacrifice.
This is a demonic world
They furiously defend vaccines, irrespective of someone’s claim of injury, and autism is no big deal. It’s a death cult.
Isn’t that takeover the potential outcome of what they are operating under?
"Gender affirming care."
Translation: child mutilation.
I prefer to call it "gender enabling care".
It's child mutilation, the resurgence of an ancient evil right here in the most "advanced" societies.
At least the Aztecs thought they were gonna get some rain. What do the Munchausen mothers get from the butchery?
Amen. Those Munchausen (by proxy I think) mommies are scarier than Michael Myers on Halloween.
A sense of superiority.
To answer your question - narcissistic supply

The democrats are also just generally confused.
