Sultan Knish: From Slavery to Freedom
wonderful analysis of our slavery

Sultan Knish
Sultan Knish: The worst slavery is of the most insidious kind. It leaves the slave able to think and act, but not as a free man. It leaves him with cunning, but not courage. He is able to use force, but only to bring other slaves into line. And most hideously, this state of affairs seems moral and natural to him. This is his freedom.
The true slave has come to love big brother, to worship at the foot of the system that oppresses him. It is this twisted love that must be torn out of him. It is this idolatry of the whip before which he kneels, this panting to know who his superior and who his inferiors are, this love of a vast order that allows him to be lost in its wonders, to gaze in awe at the empire of tomorrow which builds its own tombs today, that must be broken. These are his gods and he must kill them within himself to be free.

On Healing Wings: So surely as the stars are fashioned by His hands, and their orbits fixed by Him, so surely are our trials allotted to us: He has ordained their season and their place, their intensity and the effect they shall have upon us.

murder statistics
Looked up FBI UCR data:
USA murders 1992 – 2011 inclusive – 356,470 over 20 a year period
USA murders with firearms 2011 – 8,583
USA total murders 2011 – 12,664, IOW, about 67% with firearms
Make a rough interpolation – about 239,000 firearms murders over a 20 year period.
Make a rough extrapolation – 239,000 x 1.5 -> 358,000 firearms murders over the tweeter’s 30 year period.
IOW, tweeter is a liar by three fold.
BTW, more goodies from the FBI:
In 2011, guess which state leads in firearms murders? – DiFi’s “gun free” California, by a huge margin.
And of the 1,220 firearms murders in DiFiland, only 45 were committed with *tah-dah* rifles.
A few murder rate per 100,000 population, UN statistics.
Note the highest are gun free socialist paradises:
4.8 United States
5.0 Cuba

Knowledge is Power - Comments on everything you ever wanted to know about progressives part 562.84
DHS, Uhbamacare, more taxes and regulation of our daily lives, billion rounds of hollow points, 2,700 MRAP’s, drones, Patriot Act, election fraud, imminent runaway inflation…
Forgive the OT, but today is March 23, a notable day here in Richmond, Virginia. Take heed; change a few words and this fits well right now:
….They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave….
…It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! 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!”
- Patrick Henry, in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.

Knowledge Is Power
Knowledge Is Power: How much easier is self-sacrifice than self realization. Our greatest pretenses are built not to hide the evil and the ugliness in us, but our emptiness.
--Eric Hoffer
Men think in herds; it will be seen they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.
--Sydny Smith
Human beings will cling to their delicious tyrannies and exquisite nonsense until death stares them in the face.
--Charles Mackay
When walking in the forest, upon realizing that you are being stalked by a ravenous, man-eating beast; the first thing to do is accept the fact. With that, any number of options become available. Without that, you become scat.
