Someone has pointed out ath “Family Guy” is supposed to be un-PC, but is the most PC program on TV, though South Park is right up there.

FG, along with the Simpsons and South Park, have had the obligatory episode where:

1) Poppa meet queer;

2) Poppa goes to gun group to prove he is not queer.

3) Poppa and son lapse into an effeminate crying session about how they cannot kill a poor animal.

The gun people, of course, are all closet homos and nuts.

But one little exchange occurred on FG. The dog says to the baby, “That is like the Holocaust to us dogs.”

The baby replies, “Well, if YOU owned the World Bank …”

When you allow even the least amount of heresy, things sneak out.

This is important, because it gives us insight into the future.

The most important military outcome the Vietnam War was the termination of the draft.

This is something the nonmilitary half of the establishment cannot today come to terms with, for it altered the long standing social contract of tyranny with the American people that began with Lincoln’s tyranny and his Union draft.

Liberals, above all, hate the fact that the draft is dead. It gets in the way of their advocacy of treason.

This contradiction shows up in the blatantly politically motivated “moment of silence” the PBS Jim Lehrer News Hour performs showing pictures of recently killed American servicemen.

What Jim Lehrer and the PBS News Hour band of nitwit traitors forget is that these dead American soldiers picked up the gun on a voluntary basis.

They VOLUNTARILY signed on the dotted line accepting the Military’s jurisdiction over their lives.

When you pick up a gun a volunteer basis, you are a PLAYER in the world of violence.

No one need cry over YOUR sorry ass when you are killed or maimed.

This is a completely different ethic of soldiering than draft soldering.

It is a moral ethic of soldiering that bears no relation to the ethics that allow soldiers to be enslaved under draft laws. And it is the ONLY ethic of soldiering authorized by the American Constitution.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to be harmed by the enemy as a volunteer soldier. IMPOSSIBLE!!!

The fact that you stumbled in front of the enemy’s bullet or in front of the enemy’s bomb was YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT!!!

YOU volunteered to be a PLAYER in the world of violence. VOUNTEERED!!!

There is this damn Asian soldier (he claims to be an American) who has made a big deal out of being an Iraqi War resister. He has made a big splash with the anti-war nitwits, senile fools, living in a world that has been gone since 1975.

Nobody mentions that he VOLUNTEERED to accept the US military’s jurisdiction over his life. VOLUNTEERED. In reality he deserves execution for his treason.

To those who think, “all is lost”, just think about the huge progress made by the end of the legitimacy of the draft. This, in fact, was a great victory for our race.

It says everything about how we must focus.

When you stop caterwauling about being victimized and accept that duty is something you volunteer on behalf of YOUR (very own) convictions, you win the game.

When you realize that everyone is issued exactly one brain and that it must be used upon YOUR (very own) volition, on behalf of a freedom that it is YOUR (very own) responsibility to achieve, you are on the road.

That’s white people! That’s our real tradition!

White people, whether they know it or not, are walking that road and the fact that we ended the draft is proof of it.

And if you want to know how ruinous draft laws really are, look at “the Greatest Generation” and what they did to America.

They had the draft and they destroyed our country with it.

And the destruction of America is the real skinny on the “Greatest Generation”.

And if you really think they ever won even one battle in WWII, you don’t understand the reality of WWII at all.

No such thing ever happened.

I am reading the Nero Wolfe series, and I noticed that the author, Rex Stout, was big on “Negroes” even in 1938. So I checked hi biography and, sure enough, he was a committed leftie who refused to go before the House UnAmerican Activities Committee and explain his Communist Front connections.

But Stout ended his life being vilified by the left for his hawkish stance on Vietnam. The same thing happened to Ralph McGill, editor of the Atlanta Journal and a fanatical turncoat. The same thing happened to many other old lefties.

If you put the situation simply it sounds simplistic, but it is true. President Johnson announced proudly that the Vietnam War was being fought ENTIRELY for the Vietnamese. That was the Greatest Generation talking. He expected everyone to love him for it.

You see, the Greatest Generation got nothing but applause from Enlightened Opinion when they were giving away the Boomer Generation’s INHERITANCE. The got fat benefits for themselves first and then demanded that American whites give away everything else.

But by the 1960s, they were giving away the Boomer Generation ITSELF and the Boomers were no longer helpless infants. Every male Boomer had to build his life around the draft or go to Nam and faced the fight for their colored brothers.

The REAL youthful opposition to the Vietnam War was not the screaming Jews who were the media darlings. They were younger people who were conservative but did not see why they should lose even MORE for their colored brothers.

Wallace, not Nixon, sunk Humphrey in 1968. And Wallace had the largest percentage of young votes, despite the image of screaming Jews as the Youth of the 1960s.

No one has mentioned this before.

The establishment hates technology. In fact almost BY DEFINITION the establishment hates technology. Despite all the crap about the “inevitable future” technological advances are a loose grenade. An establishment likes the things they have established their power IN to remain the same.

Hence the wild screams for more bureaucrats – a la Kyoto – to put a suffocating bureaucracy in place to control things. Establishment solutions are always bureaucratic solutions because bureaucracy is something those in power can PREDICT and CONTROL.

As soon as the internet began to get out of control, demands began that it be controlled. The now usual combination of the priests of Political Correctness and “Christianity” started up, demanding that the runaway internet be regulated to control racism and pornography.

Precisely because the future is so unpredictable, it is critical that the past be remembered accurately.

I remember that it took many, many years for Hollywood to recognize TV. Actors were terrified of losing their Holly wood credentials by going on the cheapside new medium.

The internet medium is moving much faster. In the last couple of year fewer and fewer people ask “What is a blog?” Now National Review and even our local newspaper have blog repeats regularly.

All this reminds me of another part of history, the horseless carriage. It was generally agreed to be that would forever be a toy for the rich. Buggy whip making was a safe investment.

In the terms WE are interested in, I have feeling that the media will be overwhelmed in the information area the way the buggy was.

The important revolutions in our society are the quiet ones, the ones nobody sees coming and that nobody notices when they have happened. That is why I get so crabby when someone obsesses on Hillary or some other big news development. That’s the crap Joe Everybody is dedicated to.

The hype stuff is exactly what the establishment WANTS us to obsess over.

While the “Oh, God, all is LOST!” crowd concentrates on people who come and go, someone who is familiar with REAL politics sees the numbers in an entirely different light.

In the 1950s there were about 25,000 members of the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA).

Conventional wisdom faced two problems here:

1) Obviously, those 25,000 represented only a fraction of the real Communists in America. Even Henry Wallace later admitted that his Progressive Party in 1948 was run by them.

BUT:

2) McCarthyism said there was a legion of closet Communists in the government and that it dominated the media and other power elites.

So they settled on saying that, for each CPUSA member, there were ten closet Communists.

Then came the 1960s, when Commie was Cool. The media proudly reported college games between Communists and Anarchists. Opposition to the Vietnam War became marches of hundreds of thousands sporting Viet Cong flags.

Phone banks were set up to call families of soldiers and tell them falsely that their son had been killed.

The media now nostalgically calls this The Love Generation.

Extrapolating from KGB files, there were 25,000 closet Communists in the Federal Government alone.

I can confirm this. When I worked at the Voice of America, every attack on the Ideological Homeland, the USSR, was met with a flood of anonymous attacks on the bulletin boards. Those who smuggled in letters to VOA from behind the Iron Curtain found the police at their door.

Have you ever tried to get someone to get on Stormfront? Even the most outspoken will not even write a note here, much less JOIN.

History’s Communist multiplier of ten was a gross and purposeful understatement.

So is Stormfront membership.

I am getting something out of the SF thread I started by putting “Practical History: The Wheel” thjere. Maybe getting seminar thinking into SF is not impossible, just very, very hard.

Arnold pointed out that the Middle East DID use the wheel for military machines, but not for constructive building. I had said that the Mayans had wheels on their toys but didn’t use it in any practical way.

But the point is, like all Moots, this led to a rethinking of my thesis:

——————————————————————————–

From Arnold’s input, my thesis is changing. The hhite achievement was the PRACTICAL US of the wheel.

This all interrelates. People are always talking about how early the Chinese, meaning A Chinaman, invented something. They had the mecahnical clock, but that one mechanical clock was moved around and finally destroyed and no more were built.

The Chinese invented printing and used it to make a few playing cards. In the West, it caused the Reformation.

The Chinese had black powder and made some rockets out of it. In the West, it was a major factor in destroying feudalism and eventually the technology expanded to take us to the moon.

The Bell Curve tells us there will be some very smart Chinese. But the seeds they plant do not grow. The one huge technological advance in China was the paddy culture, based on aquatic rice. Aquatic rice was developed in India.

IQ is not a hell of a lot of use if it’s the wrong RACE.

1. “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” — Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC), maker of big business mainframe computers, arguing against the PC in 1977.

2. “We will never make a 32 bit operating system.” — Bill Gates

3. “Lee DeForest has said in many newspapers and over his signature that it would be possible to transmit the human voice across the Atlantic before many years. Based on these absurd and deliberately misleading statements, the misguided public … has been persuaded to purchase stock in his company …” — a U.S. District Attorney, prosecuting American inventor Lee DeForest for selling stock fraudulently through the mail for his Radio Telephone Company in 1913.

4. “There is practically no chance communications space satellites will be used to provide better telephone, telegraph, television, or radio service inside the United States.” — T. Craven, FCC Commissioner, in 1961 (the first commercial communications satellite went into service in 1965).

5. “To place a man in a multi-stage rocket and project him into the controlling gravitational field of the moon where the passengers can make scientific observations, perhaps land alive, and then return to earth – all that constitutes a wild dream worthy of Jules Verne. I am bold enough to say that such a man-made voyage will never occur regardless of all future advances.” — Lee DeForest, American radio pioneer and inventor of the vacuum tube, in 1926
6. “A rocket will never be able to leave the Earth’s atmosphere.” — New York Times, 1936.
7. “Flight by machines heavier than air is unpractical (sic) and insignificant, if not utterly impossible.” – Simon Newcomb; The Wright Brothers flew at Kittyhawk 18 months later.
8. “Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.” — Lord Kelvin, British mathematician and physicist, president of the British Royal Society, 1895.

9. “There will never be a bigger plane built.” — A Boeing engineer, after the first flight of the 247, a twin engine plane that holds ten people.

A generation ago, a black-white couple set out to write a book called “Time on the Cross” which was to be the usual crying session about the suffering of blacks under slavery. They then started READING for it.

The result was a book that got screamingly denounced by all the Mommy Professors who would have demanded the usual Prizes for the one originally intended.

It turned out that as the authors READ THE FACTS, they found that masters encouraged stable families among their blacks. Score one for Family Values! They WORK!

Secondly, a master didn’t want to cause trouble in the population they had to LIVE among.

Thirdly, another practical point. A man who owned a plantation who wanted to dally was rich. He could find plenty of white girls to dally with.

The really awful plantations, and there were plenty of them, were the ones where the owner was an absentee. Unlike Northern factory workers, the resident owner knew every one of his workers BY NAME. He had daily contact with them. So they were treated, BY NINETEENTH STANDARDS, well.

“Time on the Cross” ended up being an econometric study, showing the percentage of total output that went to the workers. It was astonishingly high on plantations compared to other NINETEENTH CENTURY production facilities.

Oddly enough, in tandem with this point, the study concluded that the plantation economy, contrary to the accepted belief, was actually very profitable. It PAID to treat your workers well.

This was a deadly blow to Marxism, which insists that the more you exploited workers, the more you profit.

This, and the confirmation tha families values worked, turned Mommy Professor’s anger into sreaming rage.

There were octoroon parties and like disgusting crap in the cities, but that was voluntary.

Reality is a real damper on Politically Correct history.

Simmons is right. I came off as a bitter old man in my discussion of the wheel. But my prediction was also right: Simmons did not address my point at all.

The discussion on Stormfront got off onto some guy engaging in public mastur, uh, self congratulation about knowing the difference between a wheel and an axle, but didn’t say anything about the HISTORY of either.

I could have predicted that, but I would have sounded like a bitter old man.
