Instead of researching the topic to get to the truth, the self-proclaimed social justice warriors replace their social media profile images with black images to show solidarity. This doesn’t help to solve the structural problems of Black communities but gives a quick way of feeling self-righteous and morally superior. -But when investigated, the stories begin to crumble q +But when investigated, the stories begin to crumble quickly. The “Black Lives Matter” organization was founded on a lie repeating the mantra Hands up, don’t shoot of the _Michael Brown_ case.[^elder2020aa] More worrying is that the organization was founded by confessing Marxists. The founders have ties to the radical-left terrorist organization “The Weather Underground” which bombed buildings like _The Capitol_ and _Pentagon_ in the 60s and 70s.[^kohls2020aa] + +Until recently, they stated one of their goals was the “destruction of the nuclear family.” The organization is used every four years to help the Democrats win elections. It is used to transfer billions of donations through dubious channels to political agitators, the money will likely never reach Black communities. Even the mother of _Breonna Taylor_, a victim of a police shooting, called the organization a fraud.[^byrne2021pl] The co-founder, however, grew exceptionally rich for a Marxist since she started the organization.[^vincent2021en] + +While they claim Blacks are hunted in the streets by racist cops, the number of shot unarmed Blacks for 2019 was between 13-27 (depending on the database), and the numbers for Whites are higher.[^mccaffree2021li] Taking the crime and murder rate to the proportion of the US population these numbers are explained. + +Though each shooting is tragic, it’s far from being a major problem, considering that the police conduct over 300 million checks each year. + +The big elephant in the room, on the other hand, is regularly ignored by everybody: **93%** of Black murder victims are murdered by Blacks.[^sherman2013rw] + +Murder is the leading cause of death for Black males between 15-34.[^qiu2014mo] The absence of a father in the home is one of the reasons for the high crime rate in Black communities. **72%** of Black children (in some cities more than 80%) are born out of wedlock.[^jacobson2013cp] The Father Absence Crisis is _the_ major problem of the Black Community.[^steward2013aa] + +The riots and looting of 2020 and the defunding or abolishing of the police in cities in the USA resulted in massively increasing murder rates (Portland reported a 2,000% surge)[^faria2021qg] and destroyed communities for decades. As _Thomas Sowell_ noted, many black ghettos are still desolated decades after the race riots of the 60s.[^sowell2013aa] + +Ironically, it’s mostly white progressives who want to abolish the police in Black neighborhoods, **81%** of Blacks want the same level or more of policing.[^gillespie2020dv] + +Another worrying pseudo-reality is the denial of biological sex. Allowing the most radical activists to determine the discourse can lead to bad outcomes. + +Women’s sports are in the progress of being eradicated by biological males competing with biological females and dwarfing their records everywhere. Trans MMA fighter _Fallon Fox_ broke recently the skull of a female opponent twice to win a match.[^emmons2020ln] + +Aggressive male criminals can self-identify in California as female and are transferred to women’s prisons where they are put together with biological women.[^emmons2020en] Soon women’s shelters might be forced to take in biological males, that self-identify as female.[^desanctis2021db] + +Gender dysphoria in Swedish teen girls is up 1,500 percent since 2008.[^dms2020ck] Teenage girls are insecure and prone to social peer pressure, which explains the sky-rocking numbers with whole groups of girls coming out as ”Trans” or “Non-Binary.” In some countries, it’s possible to use puberty blockers or even sex reassignment surgery without the consent of the parents. This results in irreversible damage that can’t be reversed should the child change their mind later.[^robbins2018sc][^jackson2020cv] + +Radical activists try to compel speech and intimidate others to recognize the 70+ made-up gender pronouns, while it is perfectly possible to respect any transgender with the existing two pronouns. + +The denial of objective truth shows itself in the invention of words like birthing person (mother), chest feeding (breastfeeding), or in statements like men can menstruate and give birth or a trans-woman is a woman which are objectively false. + +Attacks on scientists of biology or evolution biology increased in the last few years. Multiple scientists retracted their papers out of fear of being canceled. _Naval Ravikant_ said in a recent interview: Biology will suffer the most. Synthetic biology, for example, a lot of this will end up in China because you won’t be able to map facts and reality and actions together.[^rogan2019ul] + +The denial of objective truth will not only endanger women and children but drive all science of biology into foreign countries, resulting in a huge scientific knowledge drain. + +### Stanza 5 + +> When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace. \ +> They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease. \ +> But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe, \ +> And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “Stick to the Devil you know.” + +The _Cambrian_ is a reference to the Welsh _Lloyd George_, prime minister during World War I. He negotiated the peace treaty in Versailles in 1919. The disarmament of the Germans was negotiated but at the same time the disarmament of the winners. The peace didn’t hold for long, and Germany rearmed in secrecy. + +This stanza is a warning to believe nobody who promises lasting peace. A country needs to ensure it’s always able to defend its values and borders (if needed with violence) against aggressors, or it will cease to exist. + +If you don’t, you will get conditions like France, where 226 people were killed by Islamic terrorists between 2011 and 2021.[^ap2020wm] The parallel societies grew so dangerous in the past years, that the police don't go anymore into some city districts. 20 retired generals and 1,000 soldiers warned in April 2021 in an open letter,[^bbcnews2021eu] followed by another warning, signed by 130,000 people, that a civil war might soon break out.[^bbcnews2021uf] + +It is important to be able to defend oneself because a harmless man is not a good man. A good man is a very, very dangerous man, who has that under voluntary control, as _Jordan B. Peterson_ stated. + +One can become worried about the security of Western values and way of life when reading that the US military ends gender-neutral fitness tests for soldiers to be more inclusive[^ffn2021ru] or starts implementing woke ideology[^nightingale2021ne] while Chinese soldiers train in harsh weather and the government works on programs genetically enhancing their soldiers.[^dilanian2020je] A recent joke goes like this: When the Chinese soldiers invade, the US soldiers will ask them what their pronouns are. + +### Stanza 6 + +> On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life \ +> (Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife) \ +> Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith, \ +> And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.” + +The _Feminian Sandstones_ is a reference to the emancipation of women. The stanza is additionally a reference to relaxed sexual morality. + +The results of the sexual revolution and women in the workforce are positive for the individual. But the plunging birthrates in Western countries are a serious threat to these countries. If the fertility rate falls below the replacement level, a population is unable to recover and will die out. Problems arise much earlier with an aging population because social security systems, health care, and retirement plans stop working. + +The stable nuclear family is declining, with one-person households increasing dramatically. Senseless One-Night-Stands, pornography, and girls making their income as prostitutes on OnlyFans are a side effect of constantly lowered sexual morality. Finding a partner is reduced to dating apps, where people get “swiped” by their looks. + +Children are hypersexualized and objectified in TV shows like “Cuties” or “AJ, and the Queens”, indoctrinated into the idea that sex is a “spectrum”, that women and men are biologically the same, and are exposed to porn long before they reach puberty. + +The rate of STDs in the USA hit a record high for the 6th year in a row in 2019, with 2.5 million Americans having either chlamydia, gonorrhea, or syphilis infections. Less than 20 years ago, these infections were at a historic low or close to elimination.[^rt2021kd] + +Secularism is on the rise and people search for meaning in substitute gods like money, fame, identity politics, or social justice. + +As _Martin S. Spiller_ writes: Without sexual morality, the traditional social contract based on trust between the sexes would vanish, and the people would eventually abandon marriage. Without marriage, the family, the most basic unit of any civilization, would wither and die.[^spiller2000] + +### Stanza 7 + +> In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all, \ +> By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul; \ +> But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy, \ +> And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don’t work you die.” + +This stanza is a reference to lending money to pay off debt or handing out free money, which is the common way in many countries these days to deal with problems. This will not work for much longer, inflation (or even hyperinflation) will be the result. Rich people move their money into cryptocurrencies and other assets to prevent the devaluation of their assets. + +As _Elon Musk_ put it in harsh words on _Joe Rogan’s_ Podcast: Now let me just break it to you, the fools out there. If you don’t make stuff, there’s no stuff.[^rogan1470] + +Socialism is again high in favor in Western countries, particularly among the educated, bored, upper-middle-class that live every day a comfortable life through the means of capitalist production while at the same time rail against it. + +They paint capitalism as the devil even though it cut extreme poverty (less than $1.90 per day) in half between 1990 and 2010.[^murphy2018ez][^mitchell2018qu][^rosling2015lc] + +It seems we never learn from our past. More and more people want to destroy the current way of life. Everywhere, people talk about a restart of “how we live” or a “Great Reset.” These utopian ideas always end in bloodshed and millions of dead people because you can’t create a society on the drawing board. Communism doesn’t know how[^lindsay2021ut] which is why it fails each time. 100 million dead people should have been enough to learn that it won’t work, but it seems like it doesn’t. + +### Stanza 8 + +> Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew, \ +> And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true \ +> That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four— \ +> And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more. + +When an idea or dogma is failing, and it becomes obvious how bad it was, the liars either double down and try to keep the lie alive for as long as possible, or they disappear. + +We can see this now regarding the Corona crisis. The crisis will not be remembered for its virus because the death rate is only around 0.13%.[^margolis2020aa] It will be remembered, because of how incompetent, corrupt, and authoritarian our political leaders, news media, the science community, and Big Tech reacted to the crisis. + +I remember how everybody rallied around ventilators in the spring of 2020. Buying ventilators was the most important political topic for weeks. Sick people were put on ventilators early on. The image of ventilators was used as a tactic to intimidate people into social distancing and masking. A few doctors knew all along what is now known: Putting people on ventilators kills them in **50%** of the cases (regardless of their condition).[^thompson2020wr] There are much better methods without ventilators that result in a drastically reduced death rate for intensive care patients. But the specialists were silenced, censored, or removed from social media. A hundred thousand died needlessly of wrong medical care. Politicians moved sick elderly back into senior homes everywhere, where they infected each other and died.[^posteditorialboard2021kc] These were not COVID-19 deaths, but deaths caused by incompetent politicians. + +Masks and lockdowns were presented as the one perfect solution to prevent infections, but the data after a year shows countries without mask mandates or lockdowns had similar death rates.[^mcmaken2020qu] + +Drugs such as Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin were (and still are) rejected by large parts of the medical community, even though the doctors could see the results of their effectiveness in their patients. Ivermectin has proven itself highly effective in multiple meta-studies as a drug for prevention, treatment, and possibly even to treat Post-COVID or vaccine side effects.[^weinstein2021zr] + +The further the time will progress, the more scandals around COVID-19 will come to light. Sharing the “right-wing” _Lab Leak Hypothesis_ one year ago could have gotten a person deplatformed, and now it’s a broadly accepted hypothesis. Big Tech and the media prevented this story from discussing. Now they retroactively stealth edit old articles, push forward all kinds of reasons why they got it _so_ wrong, and blame others.[^hlusa2021ag][^watson2021pa] + +### Stanza 9 + +> As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man— \ +> There are only four things certain since Social Progress began:— \ +> That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire, \ +> And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire; + +This stanza is a depressing realization that humanity will not learn from its mistakes. We will repeat them again, and again, and again. + +Bad ideas like Socialism, Communism, or Fascism are kept alive or revived. It’s 2021, and we have again concentration camps in China and the world pretends nothing happened because we don’t want to risk our business opportunities with China. + +Racist, sexists, anti-scientific, anti-reason, postmodernist ideas like Critical Theory are pushed into the education system and companies and destroy these institutions[^nayna2019qz] unless brave people stand up against these toxic ideas.[^pachal2020gj][^monroe2021im] + +People get segregated by race, and have to disavow their “whiteness” or acknowledge their “privilege.” People of color that doesn't subscribe to these ideas are labeled “race traitor”, “Uncle Tom”, “or not being authentically (race/sex/sexual orientation).” + +Identity politics divide people into smaller and smaller sub-categories that fight each other. Discourse is shut down with compelled speech codes, trigger warnings, or safe spaces. People are bullied into compliance, harassed, doxed, or fired from their jobs for disagreeing. + +And many progressives don’t understand the ideas behind these movements that look appealing. We won’t learn unless we burn our fingers again. + +### Stanza 10 + +> And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins \ +> When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins, \ +> As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn, \ +> The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return! + +The last stanza is the 4th thing that is certain from the previous stanza. It is a closing loop to previous stanzas. The _brave new world_ is a reference to Shakespeare’s _The Tempest_, Act V. scene 1 line 183. The title for Huxley’s _Brave New World_ is derived from Shakespeare’s play. The utopian novel has numerous references to our times. + +The conservative commentator _Michael Knowles_ was recently asked by _Chris Williamson_ on his podcast if we live currently more in _Brave New World_ or _1984_. He answered that we live 10% in _1984_ and 90% in _Brave New World_.[^williamson2021uf] + +Reaching for Utopia (Greek “not a place”) always results in a Dystopia (Greek “bad place”). Utopian ideologies are **psychopathic** and arise from the inability to live in the reality.[^lindsay2020aa] + +There will be no war, that ends all wars, no “Great Reset”, no restart without getting rid of millions of people that don’t subscribe to the idea. All zero-point ideologies were devastating and always resulted in totalitarian systems or totalitarian thinking, stated Prof. _Nobert Bolz_ in a recent podcast.[^muller-ullrich2021bu] He fears that the Western world is again in a situation where serious intellectuals are thinking about whether we could go back to zero, construct a new form of society and economy, a new human nature. + +The pandemic or climate crisis offers convenient reasons to justify authoritarian or totalitarian ideas for “the greater good.” The German _Supreme Court_ hinted that massive personal restrictions might be justified to reach the climate goals.[^escritt2021ap] + +A recent survey asked how many Germans would be willing to pay every month to stop climate change. If I remember correctly, the number was below €20 per month. Even risking disillusioning large numbers of my readers, every German (including children and senior citizens) would have to pay between **€300** and **€600** net every month **for the next 30 years** to reach the climate goals of the Paris Agreement.[^unger2021pf] This would reduce Germany’s global CO₂ emissions from **2%** to **1%**, which is as many savings as China generates _additionally_ each year.[^unger2021pf] It will not only destroy the country’s competitiveness, and make the energy supply unreliable, but have no measurable effect. Neither will stop eating meat. But if the self-righteous voters demand measures from the politicians, that will be what we are given. + +Be prepared to have fewer (or no) flights in the future, lose your car, and be restricted in your movement and freedoms. If you think the COVID-19 restrictions were bad, you have no clue what is coming. + +All these endeavors ignore human nature, reason, personal liberty, and self-determination. To achieve a reset one would have to suppress, intimidate, incarcerate, reeducate, or even kill millions of people. I don’t think any sane person would like to live in a totalitarian, digitalized surveillance state like China is currently building. We have to call out and shame people that push for these ideas before it is too late. + +Reality will **always** win, _eventually_. But to what price? A lie doesn’t become true because everybody wants it to be true. _The Gods of the Copybook Headings_ can’t be ignored, without paying a high price. + +[^levinson2011kv]: William A.
