System as sign

 Aren’t you tired of hearing the word “system” uttered by liberals?  This word is a “sign,” to use a construct straight out of popular parlance among liberals and progressives, it exists as a semiotic sign.  Semiotics is the theory of signs; it designates the many uses of the sign, the signifier, and the signified.  The word “system” is used to designate something that is created and maintained by the Left.  “Systems” are believed to be what drive meaning, but really it is meaning that drives system-language. This sign, “system,” is an intricate part of the Left’s narrative, to put it their way.  I am not sure that “narrative” is part of semiotic terminology, but they use it as such also, and so will I.  To say the sign, i.e. “system,” itself as if it refers to something that is real, is not entirely helpful.  Is there really a “system” that favors certain people and not others?  This sign, “system,” that is used as a decoy and it is a thing that the Left props up in order to protect its interests. There is a “system” that enables dependence and that is the real concern, not the “system” as described by the Left. It has been the argument of conservatives that the “system” has created dependence for decades. The premise of a “system” has been critiqued in political theory and has been held up as a harbinger by the Left. It is not as simple as this though, Left versus Right.  The “system,” in as much as it exists as a social mechanism, needs to be changed.  Many are held captive to it and it does not address all needs. The “system” referred to here is not saying that something is systemic, but it refers here to governmental structure put into place since FDR and LBJ.  The “welfare state” is what this structure or “system” has been referred to in the past. There are popular figures, Ms C Owens, who have referred to this system as not being beneficial to people of difference. One thing is for sure the present economy does not address homelessness the way that it could.  There are many that are homeless in this world and in the US that could benefit from an economy or government that spends as much money as the US government does; the question is why are these people forgotten and have been for so long.  Your input and ideas are welcome.

Let's spread MISINFORMATION

According to the government 2  + 2 = 5  and Math is racist. Let’s spread the Truth, which is misinformation.  Let’s spread misinformation all over the place, in every household, community, city, state, and nation(s).  We will not cave on the matter of Truth, no matter how much they say 2 + 2 = 5. No matter what the Party tried to press upon the mind of Winston Smith (in George Orwell’s “1984”), Smith would not succumb, until the end.  For us we will not succumb to the lies, i.e. truth is lies; math is injustice; truth is unjust and other opposites that are flipped on their heads, and are made into the real lies that they are feeding the world.  The Left is relentlessly programming young children, to young adults, to you. Media process has you under its spell.  Stop watching TV and movies, please.  You will find only lies there.  So let’s spread misinformation, while the government is calling truth to be lies. Government and media are vacuous ...

21st century prophecies

In 21 Lessons for the 21 st Century , the GREAT prophet spoke, saying mockingly, “After all, we are God’s nation, so the argument goes, so what’s good for our nation is pleasing to God.  There certainly are religious sages who reject nationalist excesses and adopt far more universal visions. Unfortunately, such sages don’t wield much political power these days” uttering the excellent, profound, and provocative words, “the handmaid of nationalism is religion” as well, “Religions, rites, and rituals will remain important as long as the power of humankind rests on mass cooperation and as long as mass cooperation rests on belief in shared fiction” and “past experiences of the whole of humanity, will become less reliable guides” “The Zionist story fails to ascribe any meaning to Chinese Empires, to the tribes of New Guinea, and to the Andromeda galaxy, as well as to the countless eons that passed before the existence of Moses, Abraham, and the evolution of the apes” and “eternity is at...

Dirty words

  “Conservative” and “liberal” have been words that have incited arguments (not necessarily fighting) in the 20 th century.   In recent times the word “conservative” has become a dirty/filthy word.   It has indicated “hate” “Hate-speech” “unlovingness” and derogatory terms attributed to it. Conservatives have become the dregs of society, as Hillary Clinton most popularly named them “the deplorables” Another dirty word “Christian” has entered the dictionary of filth.   Are you sick of it?    Some say God is going to rectify this whole cultural mess, others (like me) think that there is too much invisible power invested in taking the West down, as evident in politics and those who feed politicians the sustaining coercive philosophy that will drive Christians into small groups that meet in homes, the Left is powering up for the take-down. Stand firm always and wait to see the salvation of the Lord Adonai More later on words that when given capital letters...
