The Jolly Jacobin

Frederick R Smith has moved to Frederick R. Smith Speaks (substack.com)

Jacobin is a quarterly publication based in New Woke Sitty (cough cough). We shall give it credit for honesty as the publisher openly proclaims their affinity for leftism. We are talking about hardcore commie stuff like an icon of Karl Marx on their website (scroll down a little and Marx shows up in a mirror on the left side of the screen). Now for a little primer on what is a Jacobin.

Established in France in 1789, the Jacobins were initially known as the “Society of the Friends of the Constitution.” Later, as the Jacobin Club, it met in a former convent of the Dominicans (known in Paris as Jacobins). Deputies of the National Assembly formed the Jacobins to protect against a possible aristocratic reaction to the Revolution. Though it did not have a direct role in overthrowing the monarchy in 1792, the club later changed its name to “Society of the Jacobins, Friends of Liberty and Equality.” It accepted leftist deputies of the National Convention and agitated for the king’s execution and the overthrow of the moderate Girondins. In 1793, with about 8,000 clubs and 500,000 members, the Jacobins became instruments of the Reign of Terror (French Revolution). In April 1790 Maximilien Robespierre ascended to president of the Jacobin Club and became increasingly popular as an enemy of the monarchy and as an advocate of democratic reforms. [1]

The Jacobins are well known, and many history books acknowledge their subversive tactics concerning the French Revolution. In the USA, during the French Revolution, it was common for people to throw the epitaph “Jacobin” out at people perceived to be in line with the thinking of the radical aspects of the Enlightenment. In fact, Federalists were known to call Thomas Jefferson a Jacobin for his Deist thinking and his outward sympathy with the French Revolution. [2]

The Jacobin publication started in 2010 as an online magazine but expanded to a print journal later that same year; shall we express our displeasure to the publisher for something so environmentally unfriendly and traditional as a hard copy? The publisher, Bhaskar Sunkara, describes Jacobin as “. . . largely the product of a younger generation not quite as tied to the Cold War paradigms that sustained the old leftist intellectual milieux like Dissent or New Politics, but still eager to confront, rather than table, the questions that arose from the experience of the left in the 20th century.” [3] In 2020, Jacobin reported the print magazine has 60,000 subscribers. Oh no, more trees cut down. To be fair, your author does not make any attempt to link the Jacobin publication with the French Revolution.

According to Wikipedia, that stalwart of unbiased writing, “Jacobin’s popularity grew with the increasing attention of leftist ideas stimulated by the Bernie Sanders 2016 presidential campaign, with subscriptions tripling from 10,000 in the summer of 2015 to 32,000 as of the first issue of 2017, with 16,000 of the new subscribers added in the two months after Donald Trump’s election.” [4]

The title of the February 10, 2021, edition of Jacobin, “Biden Our Time,” supplies a quantitative insight into the worldview of the publisher and the column authors. Russian TV (RTV) states that this “… issue of Jacobin magazine covering the inauguration features a mock icon, complete with a halo around Biden's head, seraphim-like Clintons, and angelic killer drones in the sky. Some don’t seem to realize it is satire.” [5]

Satire or not, we must give credit to the publisher as the iconic image on the cover of the Winter 2021 Edition of Jacobin is indeed a striking mockery. The glowing imagery, reminiscent of Eastern Rite Catholicism, supplies a keen insight to how the Main Lame Stream Media (MLSM) fawned over the Harris One – Biden Two candidates, more recently honoring them as (super-vice) president/president-elect (cough, cough). The MLSM now engages in mental masturbation worshiping the lovely pair.

For added insight, examine the magazine cover on the top of this blog. Warning: if you are a cogent non-woke folk, grab a bottle of Eyezen™ — just in case. If that does not work, how about getting strapped to a chair, fitted with a straight jacket, head affixed with an iron halo, and donned with eye clamps. This, with copious eye drops, will ensure a comprehensive viewing.

It may be dangerous to mention the above, as it could give our debased friends an idea of how to deprogram 75 million Trump voters, just like the procedure depicted above from A Clockwork Orange. But we the cogent folk shall be realists, as the debased might (?) have plans in place similar to the life transition pogrom called Carousel featured in the motion picture Logan’s Run.

Next, clear your mind and note the central and largest figure: halo Joe-Joe. “Over the top” we see Hillary, Barack Hussein, and Bill in that order your left to your right. Barack Hussein is at the center top. That must be an oversight at best or an outright outrage at worst by the Jacobin. Remember, the MLSM told us Bill was the first African American President. Concerning the MLSM, sure enough, they are at the feet of halo Joe-Joe looking up to their savior. Good old “now I am free from the bullying” Dr. Fauci is at the right hand (your left) of halo Joe-Joe pointing to a flatten the curve graph. Is that Bill Gates next to him? To the left hand (your right) is the esteemed personification of the left: Upchuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.

Now for the double entendre. Our debased leftist / Marxist / Maoist / progressive / commie / Leninist / citizens of the world woke-folk claim we are all equals. [6] Before moving on, did we miss any terms to describe the debased? So, my cogent non-woke friends, how do we reconcile people under the feet of halo Joe-Joe that have no halo? Further, how about the image showing those with a halo have no mask! So, the lower “equals” must wear a mask while the elite (halos) have no mask. The halo folks have preternatural forces to kill Corona-1984! The super snoopers among us will note that a few of the underclasses are mask free. It is all about the children of course. Rest assured the good Dr. Fauci supplied his advice and gave his scientific (cough, cough) opinion that fulfills the wish of the Illuminati to allow the children to play mask-free. And no, this has nothing to do with Qanon.

“Do not judge a book by its cover” gains new heights in the stratosphere with this issue of Jacobin. While a paid subscription will gain access to the article contents, just reading the column titles is all that the cogent non-woke folk need to confirm their suspicions. For quintessential examples, how about “A Left That Matters,” “When Biden Met Hillarycare,” or “The 2020 Presidential Election and Working-Class Voters.”

The column “Where Boomers Party Till They Drop — Dead” features this morsel: “Welcome to The Villages, where not even the coronavirus can keep retirees from their steady diet of sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll, and Donald Trump.” It is indeed peculiar how the comrades at Jacobin know about all these intimate details concerning the residents at the Villages. Perhaps some woke-commie moles live there while enjoying good old American freedom.

A large retirement community in Florida, The Villages constitute the perfect petri dish for the left. It is the embodiment of things that are the American dream and as such subject to gaslighting. The debased woke folk show their target to be an evil empire at worst or a bumbling mess at best. For example, the above cartoon from the winter 2021 edition of Jacobin. Of course, The Villages have a lot of cogent folk so here we have a prime target for the debased hate flamethrowers. The party of compassion and inclusiveness is not. It is a progressive sin for the good people to live comfortably using their savings gained by their lifetime of challenging work. The Jacobins shall place all these peoples in commie communes.

Right in line with the official narrative, our socialist debased friends at Jacobin push Corona Doom to tamp down everybody to their woke-commie misery. It just makes them angry to see people who want to get on with a normal life. Do not despair comrades, out of bad comes good. With Trump out of the way, just like magic; Corona Doom is plateauing (according to Dr. Fauci) while the debased woke governors drop restrictions. Moreover, it is also very curious why we get a loosening of unconstitutional restrictions while at the same time we hear about the CCP-Corona variant with its increased virulence. Oh, how we forget, Trump is out of the way, we can talk about normalcy. The Commie type that is. But wait there’s more. How about this gem: Right on cue for Biden, WHO admits high-cycle PCR tests produce COVID false positives. Read all about it here.

My based non-woke woke friends, Jacobin is just one tiny element of the commie cauldron. It provides the based un-woke folk an ideal example of the overarching threat we face. The transformation your author has been warning about the past 25 years has reached one of its main goals in 2021; the debased corporate/neo-Marxist cauldron (The Evil Partnership) takeover of the USA. Think of China where the Communist government partners with the corporations. For a hint, did you have any opportunity today to purchase anything made in the USA? Even if "yes," at worst it may be the product from a "USA Chinese owned company" or at best a global company.

With the trifecta of congress, senate, and the executive now in a “progressive” possessed mind-state, The Evil Partnership has the final goal at hand. Their prize — the Nasty New World Order (aka Great Reset or Build Back Better). Concerning the Supreme Court, it is not-so-hot now with an easy fix not far off with the progressive packing tactic. The Evil Partnership's pièce de resistance; the Caustic Cancel Culture Pogrom (CCCP). To see the corporate technocrats shut down dissenting views (what freedom of speech) lockstep with the dictates of our leaders (cough, cough) is a breathtaking display of this Newtopia. But none of this really matters as the Illuminati have the perfect storm in their quiver — hyperinflation. Read all about it at The Creature from Jekyll Island.

You might be thinking "what does this corporate stuff have to do with the Jacobin (and their allies)?" A lot. When we had the big USA owned corporations that cared less concerning putrid political correctness (a Marxist tool), the debased hated these businesses. With the table fully turned during the 2020 burn-loot-murder period, the debased just love their new-Marxist corporate partners. Oh, how we forget, the narrative tells all this was the fault of the cogent, even though the debased-woke-commies committed these acts. Even Orwell could not have scripted this any better.

It truly pains your author to write the following, but it is time for some tough love. The average American is nothing like the citizen of yesteryear. Subjected to MLSM gaslighting and lousy education (social engineering) [7], we have collectively lost our will or love of country. To even dare to promote our founding documents and our rich true history, The Evil Partnership authored a colorful playbook. The included narrative contains these words for the woke-commie troops to use for describing the cogent un-woke folk: racist, white supremacist, misogynist, fascist, homophobic, libertarian, conservative, alt-right, transphobic, climate denier, nasty nationalist, Covid denier, xenophobic, etc.

Careful, my cogent non-woke friends, as detailed in Twitter Tornadoes, be incredibly careful. The millions who openly supported Donald Trump will face tracking and taunting. Certainly, he was (is) over the top and has issues (like all of us). While not a messianic figure as some portrayed him, he was an especially important obstacle — the last stand against Communism. Because of our support, even those silently (voting) like some of us (including your author), we will be subject to reprogramming in one form or another. The debased Evil Partnership is on a hateful and revenge filled mission. For just one example of many, a programmed debased Reddit user brags about cremating his father against his wishes, trashing his ashes because he supported Trump. Read all about it here.

In the ultimate height of hypocrisy, The debased Evil Partnership overlooks the small number of terrorists from a certain “religion.” And oh, Antifa, that is just an idea. Meanwhile, not so for the law-abiding peaceful conservative. We all are guilty by association because of a few knuckleheads. Therefore, the progressive possessed state shall consider all cogent folk as the enemy of their inclusive (cough, cough) Newtopia possessed commie state. That fateful day January 6, 2021, Anno Domini was their Reichstag Fire. As a ponderable, was (is) Qanon a tool of the deep state — big question mark?

Did you ever wonder why so few things the MLSM report is identified as left-wing? Because with few exceptions they are left-wing. Just last year, all we heard ad nauseam were the mostly peaceful (left-wing) protests (riots and looting). With that background, during the “vetting” leading up to the 2021 inauguration, the National Guard flushed out the “right-wingers” in the ranks. What about the vetting of the left-wing? The answer is in the wind. And oh, as a painful reminder, those images of the National Guardsman in 2020 kneeling with the mostly peaceful protesters tells the real story. Though they are to take no position (right nor left)! The only real show of force occurred in 2021, to squelch the right-wingers.

God save America.

Post Modern Art It Is Not

Frederick R Smith has moved to Frederick R. Smith Speaks (substack.com)

This edition of Frederick R. Smith Speaks is a reprint of a paper your author wrote back in 2004. Please accept my apologies for the salacious content but considering where we are today, this blog is comparatively mild.

If a prominent Christian says anything about another religion the media would go crazy. The dubious use of the right-wing mantra aside, the media finds it perfectly acceptable to defend things that are blasphemous to Christians. For example, remember the “artwork” that consisted of cutouts of female sexual parts fashioned into a likeness of the Virgin Mary? The New York Times (The Gray Lady) wrote on October 9, 1999, that the “Holy Virgin Mary” exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum of Art was “Witty… attractive… colorful and glowing. The first impression it makes, before you decipher the little [porn] cutouts, is it’s cheerful, even sweet.” [1]

How nice of the Times to take a hunk of pornography and make it a nice and wonderful thing. Just think today if somebody would do the same thing with an object of the Islamic “culture.” The Gray Lady would go into ballistic orbit.

More recently in 2002, one Gunther von Hagens leaped into uncharted waters by making artwork out of death. This gentleman is a German anatomist and he created “art” that consists of a man seated at a chessboard with his brain exposed. Another lovely creation by this man is a woman with a pregnant belly peeled back to reveal an 8-month-old fetus curled inside. There are more works equally shocking.

The most salient part of this story is the fact that this putrid “art” consists of the actual preserved parts of human tissue. The art community displayed this rank content throughout Europe and Japan. Von Hagens developed a technique called “plastination” whereby epoxy replaced body fluids and other elements thereby creating plastic-like body parts. He claims this art is like Leonardo da Vinci’s. While it is true that Leonardo studied cadavers, he did that to better understand the human body. Von Hagens obviously has reduced the human body to a simple object. So, he denigrates not only the human body but also life itself.

Extremists continue to invoke the First Amendment to protect all manner of despicable activity. This ilk insists that the government support this “artwork.” The quintessential example is the “Piss Christ” (crucifix inside a jar of urine), that heroic effort and thought-provoking work by a National Endowment of Arts (NEA) funded artist. Any attempt to squelch this “art” by such means as attempting to eliminate taxpayer funds to the NEA brings forth the “censorship” Pavlov Dog reaction. [2]

On page 129 of Robert H. Bork’s best-selling book “Slouching Towards Gomorrah” he provides the following account:

Art, by adopting many of the techniques and much of the content of popular entertainment, is becoming popular entertainment. And popular art, paintings of tomato cans, is taken as high art. James Gardner notes the incongruity that art has never been more admired, more adulated, than it is now, that it draws larger crowds and attracts more money than ever before, and yet the art itself is impoverished. Here, as in popular music and television entertainment, it is not that there is no genuinely serious art at all; it is that there is so much that is meaningless, uninspired, untalented, or perverse. Perhaps the Sixties brought in a fascination with the perverted, but lack of meaning was evident well before that decade. In a prestigious New York museum in the early 1950’s, a piece of black burlap nailed to a board was presented as art. In a London museum, I thought I had come upon leftovers from a carpet laying: strips of brown felt in a heap in the middle of the room. Then I saw that the pile had a title. I asked a sculptor on the Yale faculty what his sculpture, which looked like a half-melted tree stump, represented. He said quite seriously: “Whatever you want it to be.” Yale was willing to support a man whose idea of art was a three-dimensional Rorschach test. It is thus no cause for surprise that our great universities now offer courses on comic books.

The beat goes on. Recently, at a New York City subway station, the arts (cough, cough) community displayed certain works to see the public’s reaction. This “art” was nothing more than 37 black boxes, which caused a panic because they taped these fine specimens to the walls and benches. The “art” teacher praised the work of his student who received an “A” even though officials evacuated the subway station and conducted a full-scale probe by a bomb task force. What was the total expense to the city for this emergency? How does $25,000.00 grab you? Why would somebody try such a childish act just two miles from the former World Trade Center? Simple, much of the “art” community is out of touch with reality.

In addition to the above, I had the pleasure of personally experiencing the wonders of postmodern art, which you will find enlightening. This author passed a particularly “wonderful” and “thought-provoking” storefront collection each day while making the trip from and to my place of employment. Taken on January 10, 2003, the picture to the left is one of many of the “arts” pieces displayed. [3] The picture shows a small meat-slicing machine with a nude Barbie doll positioned so that the blade would cut through the abdomen area. Recently, the curators replaced this “art” with a canvas splattered with paint for a visual treat depicting something unfathomable. Another excellent product of our educational “system” (keyword).

In May 2003, our friends at the “art” (cough, cough) window placed a series of paper airplanes in this display. [4] The planes were hanging on strings with indelibly marked interesting phrases on the fuselage dealing with the future. Some of these paper airplanes incorporate the more interesting phrases as shown below in bold type. Your author’s comments follow each one.

In the future, the word species will have no meaning

It is obvious that the creator of this “art” may believe that people and animals must be equal. Unfortunately, this is the typical worldview of radical groups such as People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals or the Animal Liberation Front. In reality, these aforementioned groups generally care little about people. In order to be clear and not branded as a person that paints the broad brush, it is necessary to mention that there are indeed good groups like the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

In the future, social hierarchy will be considered the same thing as fascism

So here we have it, any hint of people who may have any wealth or standing whatsoever are fascist. This is the radical egalitarian philosophy that says all people should be equal in all ways. If so, then it would be prudent to ask these people if they would be comfortable with an EMT's life saving service or going to a doctor to have heart surgery? Are neurosurgeons going to be considered fascist because they are at the top of the medical field? Cut me a break.

In the future, the idea of celebrity will be abolished

What bothers me is the fact that people who believe this crazy statement are many of the same people who go bonkers over movie stars. How duplicitous indeed.

In the future, the workers will own the corporations

This is not a novel concept as there are businesses owned by the workers. What is difficult to grasp is that this concept flies in the face of small business. Does the artist who created this airplane believe that the laws should prohibit a family to own a small business and employ workers that are not part owners?

In the future, the pleasures of some will not be the cause of pain for others

Does this mean that there will be no pain anymore? Or does this mean that people will no longer have pleasure?

In the future, there will be no paper money

This is not too far fetched, as it is common today for us to buy goods and services with electronic transfers. With money no longer backed by anything other than “faith” in the system, this amounts to a precarious situation (fiat money). What will become of small purchases between individuals? Will we be using some other means of exchange such as precious stones or metals? No more giving money to a poor person on the street. So much for a teen going out to shovel snow and get a reward for the effort. The possibility of abuse and manipulation of electronic money is much greater than posed by the counterfeiting of paper currency. On the other hand, electronic money makes it much easier to track people.

In the future, same sex unions will be common

With the radical influence the lavender mafia has on all aspects of our society, for sure this airplane has landed. Also, to “come out” gets one the equivalent of a ticker tape parade. As a married heterosexual man, we see the system blabber that it is homophobic to recognize my biological and mental state as straight.

In the future, country names will be only used to name cheeses

Ah, here we have the New World Order. Nationhood will be obsolete as we are all to be totally “equal” in every aspect in the globalized world. So, does the artist really support such a concept? Quick, seek an arrest warrant to see if your author is a right-wing wacko storing ammunition and “anti-government” literature. Nevertheless, since this “artist” used the word cheese rather than the phrase “New World Order” that places him or her in the exempt category. Remember, place only right-wingers in mental institutions for mentioning cheese with respect to national borders.

In the future, there will be no organized religions

The religion of Communism is no religion. It is also true that most theocracies include tyrants who have rationalized their depredations by selective interpretation of holy texts. Overblown and inaccurate “his-story” aside, the bad side of the Crusades and the Inquisition are two examples. So, it is worth looking at one entry in the balance sheet – in three centuries the Crusades claimed two million while Pol Pot in Cambodia directed the murder of about the same number of people in just three years. How many movies have we seen on the silver screen about the evils of Nazism? Plenty. However, it is also prudent to ask how many find the evils of Communism shocking. Very few indeed! Considering the promotion of Marxist ideals in many of our schools, the answer is self-evident. Specifically, those who promote Marxist ideals are like alcoholics. They do not realize that there is a problem with their thought process. Communism and its runner up cousin, overarching socialism, make people feel good but the reality is starkly different. I can hear it now “Oh no Fred is a McCarthyite!” Quick, make an appointment with the psychologist’s office for Fred. I am sure the government will be glad to pay the bill, no questions asked. Now that indeed is the good part of socialized medicine!

One day in the future, there will be no science fiction

So, does our artist friend really think that all of today’s science fiction will become reality? It is time to order the van to take this guy (or others who may have collaborated to create this wonderful art) to a shrink. Let us be fair and equal. I just got back from my appointment for using the term “New World Order.”

One day in the future we will not seek happiness through buying things

There may be some merit to this because of the materialism we are faced with each day. Nevertheless, today we buy many good things for pleasure such as books. What about the things that we do not own, such as a vacation? Will the system supply everything for free? It just might with robots and replicating machines!

The above paper airplanes are socialist-utopian-demonic-mindless-muck and the concepts contained on each one will not work and never will work. Nevertheless, I feel sorry for the people who believe such things. In fact, no matter what information we present, even the most intelligent and salient facts do not penetrate their Marxist worldview.

Notes:

To see The New York Times archives coverage of the Virgin Mary art scandal, click here.
Fast forward to the debased world of 2021 and consider the Caustic Cancel Culture Pogrom (CCCP). The selective canceling of anything based on nature illustrates the height of their hypocrisy. Specifically, the CCCP elites and their puppets will defend the debased things they cherish as free speech. Meanwhile, they show no compassion and eliminate what they think is a threat to their debased narrative.

The Lindbergh Legacy

Frederick R Smith has moved to Frederick R. Smith Speaks (substack.com)

Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.

Un-woke cogent people have a sense of history and thus they are familiar with the famous aviator Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr. 1902-1974 (few know about his father — please stay tuned). On May 20, 1927, Charles Augustus left New York aboard the plane named Spirit of St. Louis, and he arrived in Paris on May 21. Charles Jr. made this first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 33 hours, 29 minutes. As a result of this feat, Lindbergh gained immediate worldwide fame.

On March 21, 1929, Charles Jr. received the Congressional Medal of Honor and throughout the rest of his life he served America as an aviation advisor. On March 1, 1932, Richard Hauptmann kidnapped his 20-month-old son Charles Augustus, Jr. III from the Lindbergh home in New Jersey. The ransom demands dragged on for ten weeks and thereafter the officials found the body of the boy. Accounts show the boy died on the way out of the window of the house as the kidnapper's ladder failed. In 1934, police arrested Bruno Richard Hauptmann charging him with the murder. Convicted, Hauptmann faced execution in 1936. As a result of the Lindbergh kidnapping, Congress passed the “Lindbergh Law” which makes kidnapping a federal offense if the perpetrator(s) use the postal service for ransom demands or transport the victim across state lines.

The kidnapping was a sensation and the media along with onlookers constantly pestered the Lindbergh family. After the Hauptmann trial in 1935, Lindbergh with the rest of his family (wife, and their 3-year-old son Jon), moved to Europe in search of privacy and safety. In 1938, Charles Jr. accepted the German Eagle from Hermann Goering, the Nazis’ second in command. This raised questions about his loyalty. In 1939, he and his family returned to the United States. [1]

Charles Jr. railed against America’s voluntary involvement in World War II. While he campaigned against involvement in the war before the Pearl Harbor attack (1941), many people criticized him for his pacifism. It was not until the 1960’s that Charles Jr. spoke out again but this time it was for the conservation of natural resources. He no longer spoke about pacifist issues.

Charles Jr. joined the reserves and quickly rose to the rank of Colonel, but he resigned from his officer’s commission on April 29, 1941. However, he continued to serve in the Pacific during World War II as a technical advisor teaching fighter pilots how to increase the range of their planes. It was in this Pacific theater that he flew P-38 fighters in combat missions. A Japanese was shot down during one of those missions. After the war, Lindberg continued to serve the country in many ways, and on April 7, 1954, the military once again commissioned him, this time as a Brigadier General in the Air Force Reserves.

During the last six years of life, Charles Jr. found his paradise in Maui, Hawaii and he built a home there. On August 26, 1974, at the age of 72, Charles Jr. passed away due to cancer. Following his request, his family buried him in his work clothing consisting of his favorite plaid shirt, khaki pants, and a Hudson’s Bay blanket he had once brought from Canada for his mother. Private services occurred at the Palapala Ho’omau church and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin headlined his departure “EAGLE’S FINAL FLIGHT.” The inscription on his gave near his home reads “If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost part of the sea” (Psalm 139).

Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr.

The aviator’s father, Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Sr. (1859 – 1924) was born in Stockholm, Sweden, and came to the United States in 1860 with his parents and they settled in Minnesota. Charles Sr. graduated from the law department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1883 with admission to the bar the same year. He practiced law in Little Falls, Minnesota. He served five terms in the House of Representatives from 1907 to 1917. He did not seek reelection for a sixth term and was unsuccessful in a bid for a seat in the Senate.

After serving in Congress, Charles Sr. resumed the practice of law and he was an unsuccessful candidate for Governor of Minnesota as a Progressive Republican in 1918. Smears by editors of the New York Times and raids on his home and office by federal agents damaged this campaign. Thereafter, he was a candidate for the nomination for Governor on the Farmer-Labor ticket in 1924, but he died on May 24, 1924, just before the primary election occurred. With the remains cremated, the ashes ended up in the columbarium in Lakewood Cemetery, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

During his service as a Republican congressman, Charles Sr. attacked the methods of large industrial trusts and sponsored various reforms. He spearheaded the investigation of the money trusts and in particular the inherent troubles of the Federal Reserve. As a result, he faced demonization for his denunciation of war propaganda and profiteering. His 1917 book “Why Is Your Country at War?” faced suppression (like the cancel culture of today) and contributed to his defeated campaign for the Senate. He also wrote the book “The Economic Pinch,” first published in 1923 (currently reprinted with the cover “Lindbergh on the Federal Reserve), just one year before his sudden death during his second quest for Governor of Minnesota.

In his books, Charles Sr. outlines the money interests and their influence on the American economy. He details how under the Federal Reserve Act (see Creature From Jekyll Island), panics are scientifically created and how the money supply is controlled and created. He was the first public official to try and expose the fraudulent system birthed in 1913, the Federal Reserve. Charles Sr. would today be known as a radical extremist (for telling the truth) and just before the passage of the Federal Reserve Act (December 23, 1913) he said:

“The money trust deliberately caused the 1907 money panic and thereby forced Congress to create a National Monetary Commission which led to the ultimate creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve Act establishes the most gigantic monetary trust on earth. When the President signs the bill, the invisible government of the Monetary Powers will be legalized. The people must make a declaration of independence to relieve themselves from the Monetary Powers, by taking control of Congress!...The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking bill. The caucus and the party bosses have again operated and prevented the people from getting the benefit of their own government!”

Today, people of consequence who speak out about the perils of the Federal Reserve face demonization and/or face the Caustic Cancellation Culture Commission. If the majority of people knew money was backed by nothing it would crash. Can't have that.

In 2003, it was reported by a German newspaper that Charles Jr. the aviator had a mistress in Germany who bore him three children during a 17-year relationship that apparently remained hidden from his wife. According to Süddeutsche Zeitung, Lindbergh met Brigitte Hesshaimer in Munich in 1957 when he was 55 and kept the relationship until his death in 1974. Hesshaimer, 24 years younger than Lindbergh, died in 1999, and her children – Dyrk, Astrid, and David – have decided to come forward about her relationship with the famed aviator, the respected Munich paper said. Your author does not mention this information to smear Charles Jr. but only, to be honest about the information at hand.

O.B.I.T. Overlord

Frederick R Smith has moved to Frederick R. Smith Speaks (substack.com)
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: There is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits.

The original The Outer Limits is a classic black and white science fiction TV series broadcast on ABC. Scheduled for the 7:30 PM prime time-slot, the first episode aired on September 16, 1963. The first season included 32 episodes and the second season started on September 19, 1964, and encompassed 17 segments. Unlike the Twilight Zone with its emphasis on fantasy or supernatural themes, The Outer Limits captured its audience with science fiction.

To this day, your author has a vivid memory of the episode called “The Zanti Misfits.” On a cold December 30, 1963, as a youngster of seven (now you know my age), my grandmother (EH), along with yours truly in our “TV den” sat on the sofa to watch the weekly installment of The Outer Limits. As a nifty historical reference, Grandma (aka Mom-Mom) called the sofa a “Davenport.” Watching the Zanti, we twitched about with the sight of the huge ant-like creatures with human-like faces. It was tough that night to turn off the lights and go to bed. TV Guide ranked “The Zanti Misfits” as No. 98 on their Guide’s “100 Greatest Episodes of All Time.”

The Outer Limits had a revival in 1995, until its cancellation in 2002. Like most other TV series remakes, this revival never caught my fancy. My one exception to otherwise not-so-hot sequels: Star Trek The Next Generation. That, Captain Picard, was a great revival (IMHO). Speaking of Star Trek, some of The Outer Limits monsters (called “Bears” by the producers) and effects reappeared in Star Trek The Original Series later in the 1960s:

The moving microbe beast in “The Probe” found its way into the Star Trek episode “Horta” in “The Devil in the Dark.” Operated by Janos Prohaska in The Probe, he makes another appearance in The Outer Limits segment “The Architects Of Fear.” He wore and manipulated the bulky and frightening costume that portrayed the re-engineered monster-like body of Robert Culp (great actor!) in The Architects Of Fear. This episode is analogous to the media today regarding Covid-1984!
The “ion storm” (a container with glitter in liquid suspension and a projector beam) in “The Mutant” became the transporter effect in Star Trek.
“The Duplicate Man” had a black mask that later found its way for use by the character Dr. Leighton in Stark Trek “The Conscience of the King.”
An Empyrean from “Second Chance” and the Megasoid from “The Duplicate Man” made an appearance in the Star Trek pilot “The Cage.”

Added episodes (and main actors) of The Outer Limits that your author has fond of memories include:

“Please Stand By” (the Pilot) aka “The Galaxy Being, Cliff Robertson. Okay non-woke folk; shall we start our own radio station with high power to teleport an alien to wokeland to give us a helping hand?
“The Man With The Power, ”Donald Pleasance. As one of my favorite actors, Mr. Pleasance appears in several of my favored motion pictures to include The Great Escape, You Only Live Twice (James Bond), and Escape From New York. Reminds me of the mind explosion that occurs when trying to figure out wokeland.
“A Feasibility Study,” Sam Wanamaker. The plot seems to mirror our Coronadoom overlords.
“The Sixth Finger,” David McCallum. A preview of the post-modern man!
“The Man Who Was Never Born,” Martin Landau. The poor man is treated like a conservative (non-woke) in wokeland.
“Nightmare, Martin Sheen. Just like the gaslighting we live under.
“Corpus Earthling,” Robert Culp. The mind-body invading rock-like creatures in this episode are debased and woke-like.
“It Crawled Out Of The Woodwork,” Scott Marlowe. The crapola shot out of the TV by the alphabet broadcasters.
“The Mice,” Henry Silva. Woke-like creatures eating up the resources!
“The Children Of Spider County,” Lee Kinsolving. Maybe these are the extraterrestrial aliens Qanon talks about!
“The Mutant,” Larry Pennell. The mind-reading capability of the fried egg eye man perhaps is a citizen of the post-woke world.
“Second Chance,” Don Gordon. A pretend spaceship is real (maybe this is the Qanon vehicle to the stars).
“Fun And Games,” Nick Adams and Laura Hanley. The Illuminati doing their thing.
“Cold Hands, Warm Heart,” William Shatner. A visit to Venus and a return to not love but woke-like horrors.
“Soldier,” Michael Ansara. The woke fighters with hope that they can be changed.
“The Invisible Enemy,” Adam West. The Coronavirus not seen doing the killing vs the visible means to abortion.
“Behold, Eck!,” Peter Lind Hayes. A two-dimensional creature like the woke who are missing a dimension.
“Keeper of the Purpure Twiglet,” Warren Stephens and Robert Webber. Fred Smith’s all-time favorite. The alien monsters look like ANTIFA fighters (but much smarter).
“Cry Of Silence,” Eddie Albert and Karen Thome. The ultimate woke monsters.
“I Robot,” Howard Da Silva and Leonard Nimoy. Maybe the robots that will feed us in Newtopia.

The Outer Limits episode that comes to mind because of the events unfolding during our lifetime is “O.B.I.T.” Originally aired on November 4, 1963, O.B.I.T. was about the Outer Bank Individuated Teletracer machine installed at the top-secret “Cypress Hills Research Center.” The scientists at the center were under “watch” through the O.B.I.T. This machine was an electronic device that picked up the various wavelengths of the human body and it focused this information into an Orwellian television-like monitor. By knowing the wavelength of a person or their location, an O.B.I.T operator could see and hear a specific person far away. The director of the center became institutionalized because he had claimed to see the image of a monster on the O.B.I.T. After branding the director as a lunatic, one of the scientists ended up dead at the sinister machine. As a result of the scientist’s death, and letters written by the center’s employees to a U.S. senator, a formal investigation occurred. The director of the center did indeed see a monster — the scientist in charge of the O.B.I.T.

The climax of this episode occurs during the senator’s hearing as the inquiry panel directs the (unknown) alien to run the O.B.I.T. As a result, the true alien form of the scientist appears on the machine’s screen. With the identity of the alien now known to all the participants at the hearing, “it” proclaims that there are many O.B.I.T. machines around the world to enable widespread spying among the people thereby conquering the human race “without a shot fired.” Thereafter, the aliens would inhabit the earth. In the end, the alien simply sheds its human appearance then disappeared. What a plot! Seems like the debased-woke-commie plot of today.

While the internet holds a decent amount of information about the Outer Limits, the book “The Outer limits, The Official Companion” is a wonderful compendium. Your author’s very own copy was an invaluable resource to help write this blog. Looking up the link to reference this book a big holy cow Batman jumped out at me — this puppy sells for $169.00! The original $12.25 price sticker is still on my printed copy from 1986.

Fast forward from the 1960s to 2003. We all know about the 2003 “Homeland Security” bill that created another Federal leviathan, the United States Department of Homeland Security. Surely, we all feel much better as the government now protects us wherever we go. It really did a splendid job of protecting all the cities burnt up during the fiery but mostly peaceful protests throughout 2020 (your author digresses).

The Homeland Security bill also enabled the Department of Defense (DOD) to start funding the development of new security technology enhancements. Ultramodern technologies to check the citizens include the database and analysis of many types of information from phone calls, e-mails, credit card purchases, etc. etc. The specific unit of the DOD that would have conducted this ‘benign’ research is the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under the direction of John Poindexter. As you may recall, Poindexter was the former Navy Admiral/National Security Adviser, the scapegoat of the Iran-Contra affair. The DARPA plans to set up a Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (SARPA) to administer this information and conduct the analysis. Poindexter called the specific database/analysis effort under the SARPA the Total Information Awareness (TIA) office.

Initially, the TIA’s logo (and motto — knowledge is power) was in place on the office’s web site. If you do not believe me, a visit to the site back in 2003 displayed the logo, as shown to the left. However, due to exposure by the alternate media, the TIA dropped the logo toot sweet. The TIA super database would hold information about our travel patterns, web sites visited, banking records, credit card receipts, and much more. The above aside, should the government work to protect the citizens? Certainly. However, the more power now in the hands of a few, or worse a “one-party” system, the more likely abuse will occur. Just look up all the dirt found by Edward Snowden.

As a prediction, people who genuinely care about the country will now face targeting as “persons of interest.” Sad to say because of the events of January 2021, all those with conservative and/or traditional values will face the Woke Cancel Commission or worse. Those who take an interest in the U.S. Constitution need to worry that they might face gaslighting for too many visits to a web site about our founding documents.

The TIA ran under this title from February to May 2003. Based on the concept of predictive policing, TIA was meant to develop and analyze information about people to predict and prevent incidents. The program worked to hunt for terrorists around the globe. Admiral John Poindexter called it a “Manhattan Project for counter-terrorism.” Congress defunded the Information Awareness Office in late 2003 after media reports criticized the government for trying to have “Total Information Awareness” over all citizens. While formally suspended, other government agencies adopted some of its algorithms with superficial changes.

Does the TIA remind you of O.B.I.T.? It sure does for your author, and thus the fear of this program for use in nefarious purposes. With a debased and woke trifecta in 2021, be incredibly careful. The Leviathan partners such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Amazon do a splendid job for the hidden TIA. Just like The Outer Limits O.B.I.T. image at the top of this blog; Total Information Awareness.

We now return control of your television set to you, until next week at this same time, when the Control Voice will take you to... The Outer Limits.
