David Craig, on July 31st, 2020(Friday/weekend blog)
(on the advice of a reader, I have removed Friday’s/weekend’s blog about my favorite religion)
So here’s something else.
On Wednesday, I watched a video presentation from an organisation of which I’m a member and once spoke at – The Economic Research Council. The speaker this time was an Indian academic who has just written a book “HAS CHINA WON?”
One key idea in the book is that a society that develops and satisfies its population will usually outperform a society that is sclerotic or a society that is tearing itself apart. Hence during the Cold War the USA outperformed the sclerotic, centrally-controlled Soviet Union.
But today we have an increasingly wealthy, nationalist and aggressive China which has taken over 600 million people out of poverty in just 30 years confronting an America which is tearing itself apart over identity politics and the left’s fanatical hatred of Donald Trump. Unless the USA can stop its slide into anarchy, the answer to the question “HAS CHINA WON?” must be “yes”.
America tearing itself apart?
The BBC (Biden Broadcasting Corporation?) haven’t said too much about the violent mobs of Biden supporters currently destroying several US cities. But the BBC have enthusiastically reported that six Democratic mayors have urged the US Congress to block the evil Trump administration from sending federal law enforcement agents to their cities.
The BBC don’t mention that the federal law enforcement agents are being sent in to prevent the Biden-voting mobs, encouraged by Democrat mayors like Ted Wheeler from Portland (Oregon), from burning the cities down.
In the letter, the mayors argue that the agents’ presence, against the request of local authorities, is unlawful.
Among the signatories is the mayor of Portland, Ted Wheeler, where there have been over 50 days of riots and where federal agents have clashed with supposed ‘anti-racism’ protesters. (anyone with two brain cells will know that the protests have nothing to do with racism and everything to do with trying to overthrow Trump)
The mayors of Portland, Chicago, Seattle, Albuquerque (New Mexico), Kansas City (Missouri) and Washington DC signed a letter on Monday accusing the Trump administration of “egregious use of federal force”.
“We call on Congress to pass legislation to make clear that these actions are unlawful and repugnant,” the letter, sent to the leaders of both parties in the Senate and House of Representatives.
Here’s the first page of the Democrat mayors’ letter:

And here is Fox News telling us what is really happening:

Again this morning the BBC is repeatedly (I’ve already heard it twice!) lauding that superlative historian Lewis Hamilton, currently vocally bearing his BLM staff, who by driving for Mercedes continues, by implication, to support and benefit from that company’s Nazi-loving, white-slave using past. Meanwhile several million of this Nation’s oldest, poorest, frailest, most isolated, but loyal, law-abiding, life-long tax paying citizens are about to find demands landing on their doormats for almost £160 to contribute to the funding of this overstuffed, flagrantly left-wing broadcasting organ. High time for the BBC to fund itself by advertising or subscription. I’m sure all the property and statue destroying BLM supporters and rioters will be delighted to chip in!
Increasingly I think that I cannot be the same species as most of the people I see about me. I have always detested religion. I don’t remember many details of my childhood but one clear memory that stands out is being forced to learn the Lord’s Prayer. I did not take long to realise that it was utter nonsense and never said it again. It was exactly the same with Father Christmas. I could not understand why my parents were lying to me. The human race has a major issue with reality and it is not getting any better and much of this is because we cannot deal with uncertainty. It is deeply concerning that with all our discoveries we seem to be getting worse at facing reality.
The human race is a very violent species and we do not want to accept that. Look at all the human sacrifices that have been made in the past to satisfy non-existent gods. The strange belief that the future can be predicted by looking at animal entrails, now replaced by the modern equivalent of computer models. The old testament is full of violence and when the Christian religion became established and exercised control over us, violence and death came with it. Muslims are still stuck in the past. But then socialism was created to be almost like a religion – based on an ideology with no evidence to support it – and it has probably resulted in more deaths than religion as a result of force required to impose it on us. Then the socialists realised that adopting the brainwashing methods of religion was a more effective way of controlling the masses. However, in the end their aims can only be achieved by turning to force to bring down any rational and democratic government. This is what we are now seeing in America. It riots will probably come here and to the EU when the governments finally have to face the full impact of the unjustified population control measures imposed on us as a result of a virus. When the unemployment hits and we face the shattered economy, violence will come. Effectively, most adults still believe in Father Christmas – getting something for nothing and that is why they support the lockdowns. They think that by giving up their freedom to the state, the state will provide for them. Boris and his crazy gang promise this future every day. Trust in us and we will make it OK. What fools people are.
This following is an article in the New York Times. The godforsaken liberals are putting the stepping stones in place to deal with the migration that ‘climate change’ will be forcing. Moreover, no one seems to be issuing dire warnings across the third world about ‘climate change’ to stop them from breeding as if breeding is the cure for ‘climate change’.
Are you enjoying the BAME adverts and programmes on TV with the emphasis being on the BA? – Strangely, it’s the food and fast-companies that are the worst in that regard.
“Where Will Everyone Go? ProPublica and The New York Times Magazine, with support from the Pulitzer Center, have for the first time modeled how climate refugees might move across international borders. This is what we found…”
Here is a good example of the expected increase in diversity in the BAFTA Awards from the BBC:

Obviously, no amount of pointing out its propaganda to the BBC is going to result in less of it, only more. As long as it can force all of us to pay for its upkeep or get a fine or go to prison, why should its unscrupulous liberal idealists on the take take any notice?
About slavery, do our mostly left-wing educators teach that slavery was not unique to America and is as old as humankind? As economist and author Thomas Sowell says:
“More whites were brought as slaves to North Africa than blacks brought as slaves to the United States or to the 13 colonies from which it was formed. White slaves were still being bought and sold in the Ottoman Empire, decades after blacks were freed in the United States.”

Brenda Blessed , THERE IS NO CLIMATE CHANGE.
We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.
“There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.”
This petition has been signed by over 31,000 American scientists.Including over 9000 PHDs and Edward Teller , the inventor of the H Bomb.

Letter from Frederick Seitz
Research Review of Global Warming Evidence
Enclosed is a twelve-page review of information on the subject of “global warming,” a petition in the form of a reply card, and a return envelope. Please consider these materials carefully.
The United States is very close to adopting an international agreement that would ration the use of energy and of technologies that depend upon coal, oil, and natural gas and some other organic compounds.
This treaty is, in our opinion, based upon flawed ideas. Research data on climate change do not show that human use of hydrocarbons is harmful. To the contrary, there is good evidence that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is environmentally helpful.
