Putin Signs Into Law Sweeping Ban On “LGBT Propaganda”

As if the West needed more reason to hate Vladimir Putin, the Russian president on Monday signed into law updated legislation which expands the current ban on the prohibition of what it dubs LGBT propaganda to children, shrugging off widespread Western human rights criticisms leveled at Moscow.

The new law now expands to banning anything that promotes LGBT propaganda before the entire population, regardless of age or demographic, which makes it much more sweeping and broad.

The law also aggressively targets transgender ideology. At this point, anything interpreted as advancing or displaying information that “can make minors want to change their gender” is banned, according to the new law. This includes promoting “non-traditional sexual relations”.

Violation of the law, for example with media campaigns or formal organizing and activism, could see entities face a fine of up to 4 million rubles (or just under $64,000). Time in jail is also possible as a punishment. It further effectively bans all future attempts at ‘pride’ parades.

According to details in The Moscow Times:

People of all ages are now banned from accessing certain content under the new legislation. From now on, LGBT relationships and “lifestyles” cannot be displayed or mentioned, according to activists.

Over the transom more fish come thanks to Ishmael…. and damn that water is cold!  — Ed

Some people out there believe we can vote our way out of this. These optimistic folks have been under a rock for the past few years or haven’t noticed clown world.

If you are one of those people who keeps on voting, that’s your business.  I am not going to convince you voting is pointless anymore than you’re going to convince me that I should get off my ass and vote for a different douchebag this time.

The happy-fun reason we aren’t voting our way out of this is because a self-perpetuating failure cycle has already been established.  I’m not sure if this was deliberately achieved by earthly powers, or whether they took advantage of it.

I struggled articulating my thoughts about the self-perpetuating cycle into something coherent and finally gave up because it doesn’t matter.  And it doesn’t matter for a very chilling reason.  After thinking through the implications, dread about immigration, rising crime, and more inflation took a backseat to the insight. Yes, a self-destructive country that slowly decays is the optimistic alternative.

The problems we face now, and they are real and considerable, will be taken care of.  Of that I have no doubt.  We will not like the solution at all.

The reason we aren’t voting our way out of this hit me in a flash, like all the best (and worst) ideas do. After it did, I sat and thought for a long while.  Then I closed this draft and didn’t open it for 10 days.

The old American social contract has been completely and utterly broken.

One aspect of the old social contract was protecting the young at the expense of the old.  While there have always been selfish assholes among us, older generations used to sacrifice for the good of their children and grandchildren.  The past three years put the final nail in that coffin.  

The lockdowns were initially sold on the premise that we were saving grandma.  Instead, we destroyed young people who had part-time jobs and no savings.  Then we killed grandma deliberately.  There was no trade-off, both young and old people’s lives were ruined. The generational tenent was bulldozed.

We are not done destroying this aspect of the social contract yet.  To bring it back to the original topic, young people tend to support and vote for liberal causes. Thanks to declining fertility rates (for absolutely no reason at all), we will have a shortage of young people in the coming years. If you think about this like the average Republican politician, this is great news! There will be a higher percentage of conservative voters in 18 years!

Not only did we violate an existing social contract, we obliterated the chance to make it right in the future.  Many of that future generation will never be born.

Speaking of first jobs, another social contract tenet was respect for labor.  That’s gone now.  Quaint notions such as employer/employee loyalty have been on their way out for years.  At one point, a young man could reasonably expect to work for one company his entire career and retire with a nice nest egg.  He worked hard for the company, and in return the company took care of him.  

Never in my working life has this been the case with large companies.  Smaller companies still show loyalty to their employees, and that is wonderful.  After the past three years, only the most willfully ignorant believe a mega corp will show them anything other than pure contempt.

It began with outsourcing.  Entire divisions were fired and work sent overseas. And in a tremendous “fuck you”, employees were required to train their own replacements. Some lucky folks got hired back at lower salaries and longer hours to correct all the problems the foreigners created.

But that was amateur hour compared to what clown world vomited up in the past three years. Everybody still remember vax mandates? So many people lost their jobs because they refused to play Russian roulette. Other people chose poorly and died, or had their health nosedive. 

Previous guest Tickers have stated the psychological toll this inflicted on individuals and “we the people.”  Basically, the American work ethic has been destroyed for at least the next decade.  Many of us have lasting psychological damage from the abuse.  We as individuals can recover, but it will take time.  “We the people” will not recover until individuals do.

All that is bad enough, but the next act turns really dark: There’s a depression looming. Mass layoffs are coming, whether anyone likes it or not.

I received this addition to my library yesterday and can’t wait to get to reading.

You will sacrifice and sacrifice until there’s nothing left to sacrifice.

If we’re all responsible to everybody, what’s in it for you? How does it work, exactly? Can you claim anything—your production, property, expression, body, mind, life, or soul—for yourself? If you can’t, if everyone else has first claim to them, what can you claim for yourself? Do you give up everything for our eight billion fellow earth-citizens as they give up everything for you? Do you get one eight-billioneth of what’s nominally everyone else’s? Or is this supposed to be pure sacrifice—give up everything and receive nothing in return? If you give up everything, is there any you left?

It’s best not to think about such questions, they won’t get you anywhere but confused. What you do know is what you’ve been told your entire life: everything you do for others is good; everything you do for yourself is selfish and bad. Just look what happens when everyone pulls together in a cause greater than themselves, like war. Isn’t that a cause greater than yourself, maiming and killing people you don’t know? You must be doing it for the greater good, because you might be maimed or killed by those people you don’t know. Oh, you can’t let yourself think of it that way. Everyone has to pitch in.

Government must be a cause greater than yourself, because you spend several months every year working to pay your taxes. That’s a good chunk of money, and you and millions of other hard-working Americans pay it. People complain a bit, but everybody pays, because it’s necessary to keep the country running and fund all the great things the government does. Like what, exactly? You’re funding those wars, and a lot of money ends up in the pockets of people who are of no discernible benefit to you. A lot of it stays right there in Washington. And even with all the money they take in they are still $31 trillion in the hole. Stop it! You can’t let yourself think of it that way; we’ve got to have government.

Dear NCFIRE Activist:

We just received word that Senator Tillis has come to an agreement with Democrats on an amnesty bill.

You heard that right — in the middle of a border crisis with no end in sight, Senator Tillis has been quietly working on amnesty. 

What he’s doing must be stopped — and fast!

To help stop this amnesty push and make Senator Tillis rethink his misplaced priorities, we ask that you call his DC office at 202-224-6342 and relay the following:

– I oppose any amnesty for illegal aliens!

– STOP working with open-borders Democrats to ram through an amnesty in the lame-duck session. 

– The only issue you should focus on is addressing the border crisis, not amnesty.

After you call his office, encourage your family and friends to do the same.

The American people are counting on North Carolinians to stop amnesty!
Thanks for your support!

The above tweet is based on a premise that the damaged substations were targeted to protest a Drag Queen show. This is based on a tweet by a veteran that she knew who did it: God. If she is correct, is the Lord a “christofascist”?

Let’s focus on two points:

1. God does not care about how His children label him. If you question this, please read (or reread) the Old Testament. He does care about the morality of a nation.
2. We are in trouble: this one incident has exposed a national security threat that has been known for years. Electrical substations are not hardened and are exposed. The lack of security is now exposed. The equipment at a substation may be repaired if the damage is minor. This is not the case in Moore County. The damage requires equipment to be replaced. Large equipment that is expensive, not readily available and time consuming to replace.

I read this morning that power may be out until Thursday. What about the next time? Open borders allowing terrorists into the country have consequences. Allocating financial resources to social welfare and crypto slush funds instead of hardening/funding infrastructure have consequences. Funding wars around the world for the elite’s personal gain has consequences.

Imagine ten attacks on substations around the country. No electric in winter. No sewer lift stations. No water treatment or pressure. No replacement parts. God works in mysterious ways and we certainly are living under an evil government.

This nation is a powder keg waiting to explode. I am not advocating terrorism. I am advocating speaking up and standing up. What is the worst that can happen? They put me in prison for speaking up against evil like the J6 political prisoners? We the people should have stormed the Bastille long ago.

Moore County, NC. A mostly impoverished rural county in southeast NC with the exception of the influx of Fort Bragg government money and, of course,  the traditional home of Pineland. It rarely makes the news and is a place you never want to go. Lots of crime. The people that live there, at least for the most part, are transient, except for the ones who can’t get out. There’s an influx of liberal transplants racing to buy up cheap homes for pennies on the dollar, gentrifying traditional neighborhoods, planting BLM and rainbow flags, signs that say “y’all means all” and calling the police on the young black kids riding by Grandma’s old home, wondering why the blue haired people bought it and mommy is working two jobs and a side hustle and can’t make it. Same story in many places Seattle and Cali have infected here.

Its the traditional home of Pineland. And it is the latest example in America’s brooding asymmetric war. Thus far its been full of bad, terrible and even worse takes by so-called mouthpieces on the Right buying and spreading the Left propaganda. That’s not unusual. The complexity of this attack however, is.

One of the failures of intelligence from the GWOT was consistently assuming intended targets and of course, the outcomes. Most dangerous, most deadly. During the analysis phase of an incident we attempt to conduct a predictive analysis on follow on targets or, in the best cases, circumvent the intended outcome. One of the best assets of the Left is never identifying what the actual goal is, at least stating it bluntly, while consistently moving towards all objectives.

By now most know the story and for those who don’t, a couple of power substations were shot in a similar manner to an attack in California a few years back. Its something that’s been pointed out for at least a decade now by any with common sense. The story quickly became the conflict between a kid-friendly drag queen show in Aberdeen and the town, which had moved to shut it down. That failed.

The tone of the headline at Liberty Daily is all wrong.

Unhinged: Radicals Claim Terrorist Attack on NC Power Grid Was Done by Right-Wingers to Stop a Drag Show

“Unhinged”? SRSLY?!? I hope to hell it WAS “done by right-wingers to stop a drag show,” myself. In ordinary times and conditions, I wouldn’t give a moist fart about “stopping a drag show,” of course, or otherwise interfering with or infringing on anybody that’s tolerant enough to return the favor.

Unfortunately, these are NOT such times; having long since declared total war against us Normals and absolutely everything we believe in, reverence, or hold dear, it’s time and past time they got themselves one, if you ask me—so vigorously and unreservedly that, when all’s said and done, the merest thought of ever messing with us again leaves them literally retching up their spleens in sheer terror.

When the theory “right-wingers” were responsible for an attack on a North Carolina county’s power grid hit my feed, I paid no attention. It’s a ludicrous thought from ludicrous people who project what THEY would do if they wanted something shut down. “Right-wingers” don’t think about attacking a power grid to protest an event. We just show up at the event.

Apparently, the theory received so much attention that law enforcement had to address it.

For the record, I’m not saying that “right-wingers” or “left-wingers” or any-wingers weren’t responsible. I’m just saying it’s really stupid to think whoever did it committed the act of terrorism for the sake of a drag show.

If the idiotic theory turns out to be true (you never know, right?), I’ll post a correction. But for now I’m sticking with the official story that there’s absolutely no evidence of “right-wingers” turning our power to thousands with a terrorist attack to stop a drag show. I’m pretty confident I won’t be issuing any retractions.

Alas, so am I. Which only means that bars will go right on being lowered, Overton windows will go on shifting ever Leftward, and the recruiting of our own children to be used as weapons against us will continue as they have been. Recoiling in horror most dainty at any suggestion of righteous retribution against our willful tormentors is nothing but a recipe for disaster and defeat.

Are we really so weak-willed, so cowardly, that we must concede everything to an Enemy that has demonstrated himself to be implacable, insatiable, and merciless? Does comity really demand that we kneel in submission to him at every single turn? I’ll let Patrick Henry—who would no doubt disdain to piss in the mouths of his cringing, puling ancestors descendants if their gums were on fire, so far have they strayed from the noble standard he and his confréres set for them—say it for me:

Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!

A woman who vehemently and repeatedly protested a drag show scheduled in Southern Pines claims that deputies questioned her in regard to the mass power outages in the county, after she posted on social media that she knows why the outage happened.

Emily Grace Rainey, a former U.S. Army psychological operations officer, made several posts about it on social media, even saying in one post: “The power is out in Moore County and I know why.”

Before the show, Rainey posted on Facebook the contact information of the sponsors, imploring others to voice their opinions, saying, “You know what to do.”

I was reading the comments on “Cancelling Christmas Is Sinister“. I wonder how many people actually watched the video before giving their opinions? I will focus on the true meaning of Christmas which is to celebrate the birth of the Christ child. This is a time of joy and light for those who have Jesus in our hearts.

At this time of the year, we should come together even more and stand strong in our faith. Those who wish to get up on a soapbox and discuss the “truth” and the “lies” associated with Christmas are no better than those who label, marginalize and divide us. I do not celebrate the pagan part associated with the Winter solstice. I do celebrate Christmas, its true meaning and believe we should help our fellow man in these evil times.

Attacks on Christmas are another example of canceling our culture and traditions. I know that people do not send Christmas cards out as in the past. We still send them out and if you believe in Christmas in the same way as me, you are welcome to send us a Christmas Card:
