Five Steps to Persecution - Whites and Christians Pay Attention!

Because hostility toward whites and Christians is increasing in America and Europe we would do well to recognize the five steps to persecution as identified from the experiences of Jews in Nazi Germany and Christians under communist regimes. This is spelled out in an article at These Last Days Ministries and quoted below. I think whites and Christians (and particularly home schoolers and patriot types) are sitting on step three and we may be moving to step four quickly under the Obama administration. Be prepared!

There are five steps leading to persecution, which are identifiable in both the Nazi persecution of the Jews and the Communist persecution of Christians. The first step in the progression toward the persecution of persons or groups is identification. The second step is marginalization--pushing a group to the margins and out of the mainstream culture and community, making them vulnerable to prejudice, discrimination, and persecution. The third step is vilification--making an entire group, because of their beliefs and practices, to be uncivilized, dangerous villains who, if unchecked, will pose a serious threat to the rest of the community. The fourth step is criminalization--passing unjust laws which takes away all freedom for this group. Finally, the fifth step is persecution.

AWARE - LA

If you are in need of a speaker or a workshop at your next KKK rally, might I suggest contacting the Alliance of White Anti-Racists Everywhere - Los Angeles (AWARE-LA)? This appears to be a group of white anti-whites living in Los Angeles dedicated to eliminating white racism.

I know what you're thinking! There are no more whites in Los Angeles! They all left years ago! Well, apparently that is not the case.

Maybe this organization is the final resting place for self-hating whites who have totally absorbed the "whites are evil" rhetoric that has been delivered on a daily basis in every way possible over the past 40 years.

But I could never do these fine folks justice with my own words. So let's let them speak for themselves!

Here is who they say they are!

"AWARE-LA is an alliance of white anti-racist people working together to combat racism within ourselves, our communities, and the world. We collectively develop our anti-racist practices and tools for nurturing anti-racist practice among white people and working in transformative alliance with people of color. We take collective action to build white anti-racist and multiracial alliances to challenge the white supremacist system.


Mission Statement:


AWARE-LA’s mission is to work toward the abolition of the White Supremacist System and all systems of supremacy through building communities of Radical White people in solidarity with people of color in the larger movement for racial, social, economic, and environmental justice. We will only use non-violent, peaceful means for achieving our mission and goals."

And here is what they do!

"AWARE-LA’s work is rooted in the belief that racial, economic, and environmental justice will be achieved through a multiracial movement. AWARE-LA uses a multiple entry point approach to build a base of white anti-racists who are self-reflective and prepared to take action alongside other white antiracists and in alliance with social justice organizations led by people of color.


The work we do ranges from monthly Saturday Dialogues for the Los Angeles white anti-racist community to a planning committee that offers workshops locally and nationally. A significant component of our work takes place in our organizing arm which explicitly seeks to drive a strategic wedge into the white communities of Los Angeles, forcing white people to confront white privilege and the White Supremacist System. We support sister organizations looking to utilize regular white anti-racist dialogues to base-build. Members of our leadership team participate in and help coordinate a Racial Justice Alliance which develops and practices a groundbreaking model for multiracial alliance building.


Below you can find more information on our various components, all of them volunteer-led, sustained by mindful leadership development practices, and connected through a Coordination Team."

And here is one of the ways they do it - by creating white space! (I really couldn't make this stuff up!)

"The Saturday Dialogue series is a monthly gathering for white anti-racists who want to discuss issues of identity, community, privilege and racism in our lives with the intention to strengthen our practice as anti-racists in alliances and friendships with people of color. Regular, recurring workshops throughout the year focus on the intersections of multiple identities, namely Race and Class, Sexuality and Race, and Gender and Race. Other workshops focus on relationships, Radical White Identity, Radical White Community and issues such as police and the prison industrial complex, immigration and gentrification...


...But why a white space?
For many, it sounds contradictory: “It’s racist if just white people to get together. Isn’t that segregation?” The following are our reasons for gathering as a white anti-racist community:


1. People of color shouldn’t always have to be the ones to educate white people about racism and oppression. We are taking responsibility for learning about racism, our own white privilege, and how to challenge it as white people.


2. In order to challenge racism and dismantle white supremacy, white people need to unlearn racism and discover the ways we enact white privilege. This is a long, difficult, and sometimes painful process. It’s helpful to have a space where other white people engaged in this process can support and challenge us, without having to always subject people of color to further undue trauma or pain as we stumble and make mistakes. Having a community of white anti-racist people gives us hope, helps us grow our practice, and gives us strength to stay in it for the long haul.


3. A commitment to anti-racist identity and practice as a white person can sometimes mean increased alienation and conflict in our lives, especially with other white friends and family who disagree with us. AWARE is a space where we can get support from people who are experiencing similar struggles as anti-racist white people.


4. It’s a space for us to figure out what it means to be an anti-racist white person and challenge racism in all areas of our lives. We cannot expect people of color to have all of the answers for how us on how to transform ourselves and other white people. As white people we are well equipped to understand what it means to be white.


5. It’s a place where we can begin to build a new culture of white anti-racism, and learn the skills needed to transform the larger white community.


6. AWARE is a supplement to, not a replacement for, multi-racial dialogues between white people and people of color. It’s important that white people give space in their lives to learning from and bearing witness to people of color’s experiences of racism.


7. A white space serves as a resource to people of color who want to work with white people but don’t want to have to spend all their energy dealing with the racism of white people."

Well, there you have it. The path to world peace and prosperity is to eliminate white racism - which I predict will just simply become eliminate whites themselves. Continue reading...

Minority Groups Seemingly Make Same Demands as Islam

Islam requires one of three things from non-believers (i.e. infidels) - conversion to Islam, dhimmitude (i.e. living subordinate to Islam) or death.

Is it just me or do virtually all minority groups essentially make the same demands of the American majority that Islam does of non-believers?

Hispanics, blacks, Muslims, feminists, gays, pro-abortionists, multiculturalists to name the major ones (sorry if I missed anyone) all seem to be demanding that Americans comply with - or should we say submit to - their various demands and standards for "justice" and "equality".

In effect, we must choose from the same three choices that Islam offers. We must accept and embrace their various demands and standards as the highest virtues and norms of society ("conversion"), or remain silent and be submissive as they establish these news norms in society ("dhimmitude") or, perhaps when they reach a critical mass in numbers, be eliminated for being unsubmissive non-believers ("death").

Something More Important than Less Government

I attended a seminar recently to help people prepare for retirement. One thing the seminar did was reinforce my extreme distaste for the deferral of personal income to delay paying federal income tax.

The idea behind deferring income as it relates to retirement is that people during their working years will be making more money resulting in a higher tax bill.  Deferring income until the retirement years when people are no longer employed or only working part time results in a lower tax bill. This in theory results in lower federal taxes being paid overall. The deferred income must be placed in some kind of account or held by your employer to accrue until your eventual retirement.

I see the primary problem as instead of paying the government when the tax is due and being done with them, you defer it and now have become beholden to the government.  The more you defer income, the more you owe the feds and the more you become beholden. I often wonder if this is what it is all about in the first place. If the government doesn't need the money then and there then they shouldn't be taxing us for it.

As you might expect, all of this is controlled by a huge bureaucracy with a myriad of rules as to when and how you can use the money either for retirement or non-retirement purposes and when you must pay the tax. To me, any money you save in taxes is negated by the complexity of following all of the rules over the rest of your lifetime.  In fact, many people are forced to hire professionals such as tax preparers, financial planners and the like to avoid any missteps that might result in penalties being assessed by the IRS.  If not, one has to become a virtual tax wizard during the golden years when, how shall we say, one is no longer quite as sharp as one used to be.  This is all further complicated by Social Security and Medicare requirements which we won't dare touch here but are very important pieces of the retirement puzzle. (DISCLAIMER: all of this talk of retirement is based on the idea that the USA continues as a functioning nation and society which of course is very much in doubt even in the short term.)

Back to the story. Towards the end of the day after we had been presented with all of this mind-boggling information, I turned to the fairly young, intelligent looking gentleman next to me and presented my case for changing the system to eliminate deferred income so we can make things simpler and prevent unnecessary government intrusion into our lives. He listened thoughtfully, nodding in agreement much of the time.

After I had finished, he paused for a moment - seemingly in deep thought - and said,"You know what gets me? They've spent nine billion dollars in Iraq, but they won't fix Social Security!"

Well, yes. Evidently, I had lost sight of something more important than reducing the amount of government in our lives. Continue reading...

A Pleasant Day Long Ago in Western Civilization

If you have a few moments to escape to a better time and place, then start the video and find yourself at the Myer Music Bowl on a bright, warm Sunday on March 12, 1967 in Melbourne, Australia. The musical group the Seekers was performing in concert that day and here were singing the song "Morningtown Ride". Enjoy the beautiful music and vocals and especially look at the peaceful faces in the crowd. It literally looks like a big family reunion. It makes me wish I had been there or could jump into the video and go there now.

Nowhere is there any sign of the looming disaster that was likely beginning to take shape even as those attending celebrated the day that seemed to promise a bright future. Nowhere is seen the destructive forces of liberalism and it's bleatings of the joys of multiculturalism, multiracialism, inclusiveness and accusations of racism and white guilt. Nothing more than a peaceful people enjoying a peaceful day.

The Seekers had recently scored a number two hit in the United States by this time ("Georgy Girl") and were already quite famous. Yet they were conducting themselves with humility, modesty and innocence. Compare lead singer Judith Durham to the nearly naked, vulgar female "stars" of today and the garbage they sing.

Please enjoy. But if you are like me, you will also feel a deep sense of sadness over what has been lost.

The Great Commission - Inverted

The Great Commission is where Jesus commanded His disciples to go and proclaim the Gospel and make disciples of all nations.

Like everything Liberalism touches, the Great Commission has now been inverted and we are to "bring all nations into ours, teach them nothing of the Gospel, do not make disciples of them and adopt their religions instead."

Sometimes, It's What You DON'T Say...

I was visiting with a coworker this morning who told me that the company her husband works for has amended its employee code of conduct policy to include "not speaking" as a way to offend coworkers. Apparently, you could pleasantly say good morning to a person who in turn ignores you causing you to be offended, thus creating a hostile workplace to which you could make a formal complaint. Presumably, this would be a worse offense if you were a minority and the person not responding to your warmth was a white male. Oh, and there are no rules or standards here about what is truly offensive and what is not. Each person simply decides what offends him or her at that particular moment.

So, the perfect liberal utopian world of total equality in the workplace requires one to be cautious of what one says and of what one doesn't say!

It's a Woman's World In Kansas!

I was reading the local newspaper this morning when I came across a paid advertisement by the Sales and Marketing Executives of Topeka (Kansas) recognizing its “2007 Distinguished Sales and Marketing Award Honorees”. The recipients were one male and seven females. Yes, that’s seven women to one man.

This reminded me of something that I have been quietly observing for quite some time. In fact, I have not really been looking for it. I just seem to encounter it wherever I go. It’s a woman’s world here in Kansas.

In the political realm of our rough and tumble prairie state, strength and leadership is embodied in petite women. In the state elective offices, the Governor is a petite (extremely liberal) woman. The State Treasurer is a petite woman. The Insurance Commissioner is a relatively small woman. The Secretary of State is male but does not project a strong, masculine persona - same as our newly appointed Attorney General. Three elected women, one elected and one recently appointed “masculine neutral” men.

The governmental organization of which I am employed is headed by a woman. The chief financial officer is a woman. The group of about 80 total professionals and small support staff to which I am assigned is 70% female. Nearly half of the males are retirement eligible (as well as a small number of the females).

A professional position was recently advertised for our group. Incredibly, the qualified applicants included 13 females and only one male!

I recently was part of a third party contingent that attended a kickoff meeting for an information technology project between two large state governmental agencies. Between these two agencies there were 24 people in attendance – 20 females and four males. The males were clearly in subordinate positions. One of these males looked nearly elderly. Another one would always look at the female next to him as he spoke as if to assure himself that he had her approval while speaking.

My daughter attends a public university that historically has more female than male students. Currently, the ratio is nearly six females to every male.

Because I encounter this everywhere, I’m sure that if I were to do a more structured, scientific study I would find that Kansas is more and more being dominated by women, especially in government and probably in business and other areas as well. Much could be said about the implications of future society if women replace men in all of the positions of power as well as assuming the dominant role in everyday life situations from the home to the workplace.

But for now I have just one question. Where are all of the men and what are they doing? Continue reading...

Tyson Layoffs Good News for Emporia, Kansas?

Emporia, Kansas (just down the road a piece from here) just received some good news - Tyson Foods is cutting 1,500 slaughter house jobs at it's Emporia plant. Good news? Yes, in that this may curtail the Tyson backed plan to turn Emporia into a third world refugee center destroying it's historic American identity. Perhaps there is some bad news in that 900 jobs will be retained for the ground beef processing line. This may very well be where the recent disease-ridden Somalian "refugees" are working. Personally, I would rather the Tyson Plant shut down, dry up and blow away completely if this allows Emporia to preserve its historic American identity. In any event, the 'cat will continue watching the situation...

UPDATED EXCERPTS FROM CERTAIN LITERARY CLASSICS!!! [Thunderous applause!]

"1984" by George Orwell

We join our good friend Winston Smith who is attending a rally during Hate Week...

"...at just this moment it had been announced that Oceania was not after all at war with Osama Bin Laden. Oceania was at war with Saddam Hussein. There was, of course, no admission that any change had taken place. Merely it became known, with extreme suddenness and everywhere at once, that Saddam Hussein and not Osama Bin Laden was the enemy. Winston was taking part in a demonstration in one of the (city) squares at the moment when it happened...On a scarlet-draped platform an orator of the State Department...was haranguing the crowd...The speech had been proceeding for perhaps twenty minutes when a messenger hurried onto the platform and a scrap of paper was slipped into the speaker's hand. He unrolled it and read it without pausing in speech. Nothing altered in his voice or manner, or in the content of what he was saying, but suddenly the names were different. Without words said, a wave of understanding rippled through the crowd. Oceania was at war with Saddam Hussein! The next moment there was a tremendous commotion. The banners and posters with which the square was decorated were all wrong! Quite half of them had the wrong faces on them. It was sabotage! The agents of Goldstein had been at work! There was a riotous interlude while posters were ripped from the walls, banners torn to shreds and trampled underfoot...The orator...had gone straight on with his speech. One minute more, and the feral roars of rage were again bursting from the crowd. The hate continued exactly as before, except that the target had been changed. The thing that impressed Winston in looking back was that the speaker had switched from one line to the other actually in mid-sentence, not only without a pause, but without even breaking the syntax..."

"Through the Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll

We join our dear friend Alice as a high ranking governmental official, Humpty Dumpty, explains that we are fighting a war on "terror"...

"...I don't know what you mean by 'terror,'" Alice said. "Do you mean a military or physical threat by someone such as Mr. Putin, or Saddam Hussein, or Osama Bin Laden, or Al Quaida or Hamas? Or what about China or Russia or North Korea or Islamists? Or what about Iran or even Saudi Arabia or perhaps France? Do you mean an economic threat by globalists or NAFTA or GATT? Or from exporting manufacturing, high tech, or other jobs overseas or by massive illegal immigration here at home to provide a cheap labor pool? Might you mean the cultural and political war being waged by leftists in the mass media, the educational system, or all levels of government that attack traditional Western values and history? Or attacks on the traditional family by imposing abortion rights or homosexual rights? Or the attack on Christianity in the public square? Or perhaps you mean the United Nations or corporate America?" Alice queried. "I don't know what you mean by 'terror,'" Alice said, once again. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't - till I tell you. I meant "those who would do us harm." "But 'terror' doesn't mean 'those who would do us harm,'" Alice objected. "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I just choose it to mean - neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all." Alice was much too puzzled to say anything..."

"The Emperor's New Clothes" by Hans Christian Andersen. Interpreted by Naomi Lewis.

Two of the Emperor's economic advisors have approached him and he has agreed to let them weave for him beautiful new clothes of the global economy. All of the best ideas are to be used, including: outsourcing high paying jobs and the manufacturing base overseas or to Mexico, importing cheap labor domestically, and using free trade agreements of all kinds. As we look in on the Emperor, he is beginning his grand procession before the people...

"...So the Emperor walked forth in stately procession under the canopy. People in the streets or at the windows called out such things as, "Doesn't the global economy look magnificent!" "Those new clothes!" "Aren't they marvelous!" "What elegance!" Can you wonder! For nobody dared admit that he or she couldn't see any clothes at all. That would have meant that the person was a stupid fool or no good at his job. Indeed, not one of the emperor's gorgeous outfits had ever been so much praised. Then, in a moment's silence, a child's puzzled voice was heard. "There are no jobs for Americans in the global economy!" "Shh!" said the child's father. "These little ones do talk nonsense." But a whisper moved through the crowd. "A child over there says that the emperor has nothing on." "There are no jobs for Americans!" Soon everyone was murmuring, "There are no jobs for Americans!" At last, the emperor himself began to think that they could be right. But then he thought, "If I stop, it will spoil the procession. And that would never do." So on he stepped, even more proudly than before. As for the courtiers, they went on carrying a train that was not there at all."

Well...that concludes our program. Join us next time when Topcat sings...
