A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. Abraham Lincoln, 1858
Lincoln’s prediction was in large part a response to the infamous Dred Scott Supreme Court decision a year earlier which effectively turned Illinois into a slave state by stripping traveling slaves of their rights. By this time slavery was simply unconscionable to much of the North and Lincoln recognized that the situation had become untenable. It’s not clear whether he intended his Biblical allusion as a prophecy or threat. But he certainly might have added, “And I will lead the nation to war to prove it.” Which he did, 3 years later. The South protected their franchise on exploitation and mischief tenaciously, killing half a million Northerners.
The Civil War is still being waged to this day by moral relativists who insist it was “not about slavery but states’ rights.” They believe that morality is determined by the vicissitudes of power and buttress their claim with facts like “Slavery still exists in places around the world.” As if slavery isn’t as evil as we were lead to believe, or maybe we don’t really care about it after all.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (Matthew 7:15)
Italy boasts one of the highest youth unemployment rates in Europe, at around 45%. Worker ‘protections’, a high minimum wage, and centuries of encrusted regulations on business make hiring inexperienced young workers risky and unprofitable. The more ambitious among them have abandoned their country of birth in search of greener pastures, including in the US, whose corresponding unemployment rate is under 20%. Nevertheless, the Pope saw fit to come here and and lecture us on the dangers of unbridled capitalism, and to extol the memory of Thomas Merton, a psychic and mystic, and Dorothy Day, a socialist who fought for greater worker protections.

Ye have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you. (Deut. 9:24)
Cooties and alcoholism are two devastating scourges both characterized by denial, the persistence in which only ‘proves’ you are already afflicted. Whereas cooties is more likely to infect children, alcoholism and addiction tend to affect adults, especially by middle age, when they recount a long sordid history of substance abuse and mischief in AA drunkalogs, before coming to acceptance after decades of denial: the 12 Steps saved them from the deathly disease, which will surely be your own undoing. The strength of denial has a perfectly scientific explanation, as Nora Volkow of NIDA explains: ‘Addiction is a disease of free will’. She would know, as her own grandfather died of it. (As compared to say Bolshevism, which while just as deadly, has not yet been associated definitively with any dopaminergic pathways.)
Most people go through life completely unaware of a small blind spot in their field of vision. Here is a web site that helps you ‘see’ it. The blind spot corresponds to the part of the retina where the optical nerve passes. (Move closer to the screen if you don’t see it.)
Similarly, the human mind is equipped with a moral blind spot. We are sometimes completely unaware of the real reasons we behave and feel the way we do. Perhaps there’s a good reason for that, even if it gets us into trouble sometimes. It’s pretty funny when you think about it.
Angel Dust from the 80’s was highly addictive and drove people to crime and insanity while imparting superhuman strength, making it especially demonic and a threat to civilization as we knew it. The media was full of stories of people crashing through glass windows while high on PCP or flipping over cars and requiring 10 people to hold them down. (No I am not confusing these stories with “The Hulk”, which was a TV series from the 70’s, though it may have inspired such portrayals.) Continue reading Latest Demon Drug Craze Everybody Panic!→
It’s amusing to watch as you slowly awaken from the mass delusion known as ‘addiction’. However many of you are confused and disoriented as you try to find your bearings. Which normally in such a situation I would say to relax and take a long drag. But in this case I figured it would be more helpful to plug in the holes in your knowledge, lest you panic again and lurch dangerously toward the self-destructive idiocy we silly robots seem to get so enamored with. (Don’t let a good crisis go to waste, right?)
Mornin’ ! Wakey wakey !!
I’ve compiled a list of the old propaganda to help you understand how we’ve gone so terribly wrong in the past, followed by recommendations for accurate education which will prevent such disasters from happening again in the future. These messages focus on medical professionals, the public at large, and finally what to teach the newcomers. Continue reading Silly Robots→
In an ominous warning issued jointly by the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the National Counterterrorism Center, all US law enforcers have been instructed “to be vigilant and prepared” for homegrown terror threats by Alcoholics Anonymous ahead of the July 4th Independence Day holiday.
House Homeland Security Chairman Mike McCaul also advised Americans not to dismiss the government’s warning. Speaking to “Fox News Sunday,” McCaul revealed that “there is a great deal of meeting making, a high volume” based on 12 Step terrorist network communications, which greatly increases the likelihood of ‘relapse’.

A little over a year ago, if you dared challenge the prevailing claims of modern addiction science, such as “Addiction isn’t a real disease” or “Drugs don’t make you rob drugstores” or “Blackouts are just an excuse for not remembering traumatic episodes of anonsex” the Steppers (and secret steppers) were quick to rain down on you a stream of insults and accusations of ‘ignorance’ and say, “This is established science! You need to educate yourself!” Continue reading The Debunking of Addiction Pseudoscience→

The Nazis slaughtered people by the millions in concentration camps and yet most who were told of this didn’t believe it, or thought the claims were exaggerated, or thought the speaker was ignorant, insane, in denial, lying, crazy and/or stupid. In the terms of modern times they might have been called ‘delusional paranoid schizo’. (Or ‘cray cray’ in the technical lingo of NIAAA Chief Dr. George Koob.) Continue reading Someone Call the CDC!→
Allow me please to introduce myself. My name is Lucifer and I am known as the Great Deceiver but you can call me Satan. I’ve been around for a long, long time, as you know. I was the guy who sat on Eve’s shoulder and whispered into her ear, “Eat the apple and you will be like God.” Then she ate the apple. I did the same to Adam. So he ate the apple too. Then God found out and Adam blamed Eve. LOL.
If you commit a crime while intoxicated in Los Angeles you will likely be sentenced to AA by our local 12 Step Caliphate. Where you will learn that you have a disease and you are powerless to alcohol and likely to get drunk again and commit crimes – ‘relapse’ is expected.
