Madness Made to Order - Part Three

This six-part essay covers a lot of subjects and associated controversial topics. Readers may find some passages to be hyperbole or simple-minded sophistry. Nevertheless, it is an act of love to the good side of humanity in general and the people of America in particular. Tough love. Apologies offered for the sometimes colorful language.

As a historical and contemporary treatise, the overarching goal is an attempt to explain the reasons behind the current rapid fall of humankind. The cause in summary: a “Satan Bug” mental infestation of people around the world. Hopefully, through a combination of historical analysis, recapping of events, and analysis readers will have a mental realization. The late great positive Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) is the inspiration behind these words. The Gandhi Antidote: imperceptible and peaceful means together in a communal setting to produce strength in numbers to end the Satan Bug.

Part One, Mental Blindness, explores the cognitive mental disorientation foisted upon the common people. As a tour beyond the basic “money and power” explanation, a pattern of exploitation and made-to-order conflict appears.

Part Two, The Philosophical Lineage, is a historical review focused on the “Age of Enlightenment.” While this intellectual movement spawned the modern age with many positive outcomes, we can see a pattern of the negatives that coalesced into the collective nexus.

Part Three, The March Past Marx and Beyond, supplies a clear view of Marxism and how that collectivist mindset marches on today despite the trumpeting of “democracy.”

For those who would prefer to watch or listen to a top-shelf exposé that mirrors much of the content of this essay, check out Victor Davis Hanson on the Assault on Meritocracy, Politicization of the Virus, and the Platonic Noble Lie. Another gem is Dear Black People: Jason Whitlock Explains the Marxist Agenda Behind Race Controversies.

The March Past Marx and Beyond

“Religion is the sign of the oppressed ... it is the opium of the people” – Karl Marx

Regardless of your political or religious affiliations, it is easy to see the link between Weishaupt’s five points and the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto. Additionally, Marx’s Ten Planks mirror the social discourse of today. Some like it, such as Antifa members.

Despite Biden’s and Nadler’s claims, Antifa is an uber-cult, not an idea. It started in the 1930s in Germany as the “Antifaschistische Aktion.” There, Antifa clashed with the Nazi Brown Shirts. Today it is a highly organized association with trained members. It is a confederation of anarchists, communists, and other radicals. It has connections to the terrorist organizations Weather Underground, Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (FALN), and May 19th Communist Organization (MCO). As an interesting tidbit, May 19th is the birthday of Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh. For more about this evil and destructive group, a suggested reading is “The Real History of Antifa.” But of course, we are gaslighted to believe the most significant threat likely comes from white supremacists.

Woke folk like the tenets of the hideous collectivist vomit. Once freed from the mental blindness, the now cogent unwoke folk can discern that much of what we see and hear comport with the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto. Now with a truly open mind, we can see these collectivist beliefs bloomed in Europe at the same time as the founding of the USA. As a reminder and poke in the eye to the woke folk, this founding was 1776, not 1619.

While this section of Fred’s blog (Part Three) focuses on the United States, it is a universal truth that all people from across the world have, or should have, depending on the country, the right of freedom and property. Collectivism simply spells the end of these most basic human needs and truths. A shout out goes to our friends in Canada. See Frederick R. Smith Speaks, Nightmare in the North, April 23, 2021.

The open struggles of today in the United States are an old endeavor. We should learn from our past, reconcile, and move on. Yes, there are inequities and because of the imperfection of humankind, we will face this blemish until the end of time. However, there is a renewed polarization fueled by a radical reframing of our past with attacks on our present. This hyper-revision is a proliferation of false narratives or exaggerations that murder our national identity.

Just like in Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, we now have the thought police with its shock troopers from big business and media to attack those who hold traditional values. Views contrary to the “narrative” become heretical to the cult of the New Woke World religion cult. If society accepts this narrative, then, just like in Nineteen Eighty-Four, lies become the truth. Emblematic is the notion that Caucasian people are all racist just because they have a certain pigment. Even if you claim no racism, the system informs you of your unconscious bias. Furthermore, your silence is proof of your bias as “silence equals violence.” The ultimate example of “projection”—the accuser is doing the same thing that they accuse the accused of doing. As an example of this mind-numbing programming, on July 4, 2010, Judd Garrett posted this gem:

On July 1st, the Chinese Communist Party celebrated its 100th year ruling China, and many in America’s left-leaning media celebrated this milestone. CNN tweeted, “The Chinese Communist Party is about to turn 100 but Xi will be the real star.” CNN’s Ben Westcott wrote that this “is an opportunity for the party to reaffirm its credentials while ensuring loyalty.” And that the “party has much to celebrate, particularly China’s growth from one of the poorest nations in the world into an economy on the brink of overtaking the US.”

Yesterday, a New York Times columnist wrote this about our nation’s birthday, “Today, flying the flag from the back of a pickup truck or over a lawn is increasingly seen as a clue… to a person’s political affiliation in a deeply divided nation… What was once a unifying symbol is now alienating to some, its stripes now fault lines between people who kneel while “The Star-Spangled Banner” plays and those for whom not pledging allegiance is an affront.” [Also see Frederick R. Smith, Goofy Gray Lady, January 2, 2021.]

There is a stark contrast between the way left-wing media views America and its history, and [that of] communist countries. The same people who continually remind America of its past sins, gloss over the more brutal, more recent atrocities of the Chinese Communists. On July 1, there was barely a mention of Mao’s Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution which killed over 45 million citizens, or the present-day Chinese concentration camps where over one million Uyghurs are being tortured, raped, and murdered. [Also, shall we not forget the plight of the Falun Gong in China.]

For more of the Neo-Marxists vomit projection, how about Ashleigh Shackleford presenting a syllabus (cough, cough) about Critical Race (conspiracy) Theory. In a recorded video of an indoctrination vile venom session, she says “.. I believe that white people are born into not being human.” Click here and behold the spectacle. It is a wonderment (not) that the bastion of free speech YouTube has not scrubbed this putrid presentation holding drivel about not being human. And oh, the adult robots in the meeting room looking on like sheep is an even higher form of wonderment.

As a counter to the above, there is this a real-life story. During the 2020 period when politicians panicked (e.g., lockdowns) with the “firefly but mostly peaceful protests” occurring in the closest big city, your author and his wife tried to visit an upscale restaurant with mostly African-American workers and patrons. With no waiting line, the host said without a reservation we would have a 2.5-hour wait. We declined but it sure seemed suspicious. Later in the year, while your author was pumping gas into his automobile, two African Americans walking by said to your author “You look like Hitler.” By just ignoring this black racist duo, nothing happened (thankfully). They had their day with “free speech” but think of the consequences if Fred responded in any way. It would have been magnified into a “white racist rant” at best or spawned violence (called protest by the mad machine) against Fred. Did these chance encounters make Fred hate African Americans? Of course not.

In another example of “look the other way,” a psychiatrist lecturing at Yale’s Child Study Center spoke about “unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way.” We know the programing mad machine would go into hyper-projection if a similar speech emanated from a “right-winger.” Today, the Neo-Marxist mad machine will simply shut down any countering dialog with the inane ploy to call the respondent “racist.” More Pavlov’s Dogs projection. This collectivist-like behavior is extremely dangerous and the prime example of why we need to protect free speech (for any wing). That way, the people can speak out against bad speech.

History shows that the Soviet Communists rewrote history to slam the citizens’ national identity. Relics destroyed and streets given new names should ring a bell in your mind (i.e., fiery but mostly peaceful protests). In line with this programming, the Boston Globe newspaper has a “Fresh Start” program whereby they allow individuals to request revisions to past news articles. This is to avoid “embarrassment” if certain texts are kept in the record. Now we know why so many statues were toppled and/or vandalized in 2020 with the tacit approval of the vile news media programming mad machine. Certain municipal leaders (cough, cough) cheered for this menagerie spectacle. Particularly disturbing was the National Guard troops and law enforcement personnel that bent the knee. Was it about following orders, in sympathy with the rioters, or to save their own lives? Hopefully, that was the left knee as the right is for God.

As an important insert concerning the march to serfdom, an important link of the lineage is Howard Zinn’s 1980 tome called “A People’s History of the United States.” The title alone is suspect. Since it was published during the birth of the millennials, that nexus explains why so many of that generation have an affinity for collectivism. Higher education (cough, cough) and public schools continue to projectile vomit this crapola by intertwining it into regular course content. People also continue to buy this bile for reading pleasure (wink, wink) as well. Zinn’s work magnifies the bad side of history and downplays the good. As an aspect of this dichotomy, a personal reflection about your author Fred is in order. As a youngster, as well as to this day, the wisdom of dropping the atomic bombs on Japan in 1945, haunts him. One could argue for hours about this topic but unlike the Neo-Marxist Pavlov’s Dogs, the questioning of the atomic bomb drops that immediately incinerated up to 200,000 people does not incline Fred to hate America.

For full disclosure, your author has not read Zinn’s work (or Hanna-Jones, below) but has read reviews from both sides of the aisle to draw conclusions. The common defense of Zinn, and similar works, is the claim that “America has not lived up to its ideals.” What other county has these ideals (or similar) and lived up to them?

Drinking the Jones flavored Kool-Aid™ from Zinn, in 2019 the New York Times (a.k.a. Goofy Gray Lady) published a 100-page magazine called the “1619 Project.” It was released on the 400th anniversary of English pirates landing on the North American continent with up to 20 slaves. The Times even promotes the notion that was their attempt to redefine our history. The principal author, Nikole Hannah-Jones, openly avers that she and the co-authors want to “decenter whiteness.” She brazenly writes that our nation’s founding occurred not in 1776 but 157 years prior. Completely out of any objective reality, she wants all to swallow the notion that the reason for the American Revolution was only to preserve slavery. And it goes on and on with inane assertions such as the Constitution is an undemocratic document and anti-black racism runs in the DNA of this country. As we shall see, but not as any accolades to Hannah-Jones, the Founders were indeed leery of democracy.

One notable notion from Hannah-Jones concerns the assertion that white people have an addiction to sugar because of slavery. It is true that the sugar industry used slavery to produce their product. Likewise, many other farming interests did the same vicious thing. This argument about sugar is myopic as it ignores people of other races that have the same craving for sugar. Likewise, many other foods and goods at one time have been made at the hands of slaves. Let us just learn and move on from the past rather than ruminating about it. All this obsession with Critical Race (conspiracy) Theory makes paranoia seem normal.

Of note, Ms. Hannah-Jones some years before her 1619 Project fame, wrote a letter to Notre Dame’s Observer. There she wrote that “the white race is the biggest murderer, rapist, pillager, and thief of the modern world… whites have always been an unjust, jealous, unmerciful avaricious, and blood thirsty set of beings.” She also avers that Christopher Columbus is “no different then [sic] Hitler.” These vile statements are not even worth any more energy to rebut. With the rise of this hate, Hannah-Jones received accolades for her 1619 Project with a reward from the now putrid Pulitzer Prize on May 4, 2020. Right in line with the narrative, the woke Pavlov’s Dogs will automatically parrot the racism card. A nifty redirection tactic. Meanwhile, we have a clear direction with great expediency from the compassion crowd never to paint a broad brush against a group of “religious” people. Hint — the second largest religion in the world. This expediency does not apply to the people of a certain skin color whom Ms. Hanna-Jones is referring to.

The above aside, one wretched item worth rebutting is a particular notion from the other 1619 Project contributors. They wrote about the good old Marxist capitalism/working-class struggle. Interwoven through this vile and wretched document is this classic Marxist thought process, but with the “class struggle” morphed into a race struggle (Neo-Marxism). Marxism is indeed pliable or malleable enough to fit a particular pogrom.

The National Education Association partnered with the New York Times (Goofy Gray Lady) to distribute copies of the 1619 Project throughout the educational system. The booklet is a publication of non-other than the Zinn Education Project. Also see Frederick R. Smith Speaks; Nauseating NEA, August 1, 2020. It gets worse. On July 4, 2021, The Epoch Times reported this Critical Race (conspiracy) Theory (CRT) tidbit about the NEA, clearly a communist organ:

The National Education Association (NEA), which represents more than 3 million employees in public education, on June 30 kicked off its 100th Representative Assembly. During the four-day online convention, the union adopted a measure that would commit at least $127,600.00 to advance its pro-CRT agenda.

According to the plan, the NEA will share and publicize information about “what CRT is and what it is not,” dedicate a “team of staffers” to assist union members who “want to learn more and fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric,” and provide a study that critiques “power and oppression” in American society, including “white supremacy,” “cisheteropatriarchy,” [*] and capitalism.

The union also declared that it opposes attempts to ban CRT and the New York Times’ highly controversial “1619 Project,” which recasts American history on the claim that the United States was founded, and remains today, a racist nation.

In addition, the measure calls for an “accurate and honest” teaching of “unpleasant aspects of American history,” and affirms that CRT is an appropriate framework for educators to address those topics.

[*] Learn all about it here.

NEA, you show your true colors! Fact is, your hidden collectivist leanings go back to your beginning as detailed in Frederick R. Smith Speaks, Nauseating NEA, August 1, 2020. Old habits die hard. No longer hidden is the fact that the crummy NEA union leadership is a commie front. Some of the members are boot-licking comrades. Just as other concerned cogent folk are proclaiming, bring it on NEA slime balls. The same goes for the slimy slop drop school boards that allow this crapola. Keep on talking and barking, the more the better. It does an excellent job to expose the evil agenda (Satan Bug).

The pushing of things other than the key elements of reading, writing, and math exposes the real purpose of the NEA and its accomplices. It is all about the dumbing down of America. The trashing of real substantive positive subjects opens a cavern. Filling in this void is a caustic liquid mix that includes (but is not limited to) the following ingredients: lust (teachers—mostly female—fornicating with students), America-phobia, global citizenry (honor the United Nations), hate the police rhetoric, illicit drugs, social justice (communism), Christophobia, and heterophobia. Does all that make Fred hate all schools and teachers? Of course not! It is a matter of detesting the sin and not the person. The few good schools, even private, face attacks from this evil empire (Satan Bug).

Meanwhile, on July 6, 2021, a Twitter user reported that the nauseating NEA has quietly removed references to promoting Critical Race (conspiracy) Theory. Why are they covering up their support for CRT? We know—commies!

Of note, the rewriting of history started way back in the 1920s as detailed in the book “Hope of the Wicked” on page 135:

Early in this (past) century, the Guggenheim Foundation agreed to award fellowships to historians recommended by the Carnegie Endowment. Gradually, through the 1920’s, they assembled a group of twenty promising young academics and took them to London. There they briefed them on what was expected of them when they became professors of American history. That twenty were the nucleus of what was eventually to become the American Historical Association. In 1928, the American Historical Association was granted $400,000 by the Carnegie Endowment to write a seven-volume study on the direction the nation was to take. The thrust of these books, according to Senator Norman Dodd, was that “the future of this country belongs to collectivism and humanism.” Senator Dodd concluded from his study that these tax-exempt foundations, by virtue of the fact that they pay for these studies, lay at the heart of a group determined to destroy the United States. These educational changes were applied very gradually, so as not to alarm the general American populace, but they have been documented. This, in concert with state and federal court decisions in the later half of the twentieth century, has proven very effective at achieving this goal.

Here is a real-life story right in line with the 1619 Project. A close friend, who will go unnamed, is an executive in charge of all security for a major corporation. The headquarters, found in a major city, like other urban areas, face the 2021 crime hyper increase. In an extraordinary email copied to my friend, the mayor announced a summit to tackle the crime. The focus: what can be done to stop white racism from making blacks kill blacks. Right out of the Nineteen Eighty-Four/Zinn/Jones commie playbook.

As briefly discussed in Part One, as well as more to follow concerning professional (cough, cough) sports players, the switch from class to race is a necessity. This ensures that the overlords and other rich debased woke folk influencers can stay clear of the insurrectionist mob and keep their booty. More “projection.” This redirection is prophylactic to avoid the side effects of a possible new French Revolution style pandemic. It is nothing more than Neo-Marxism.

As an important historical note, the first collectivist switch from class struggle occurred during the Nazi regime. The Nazi theory attacked ethnicity and/or religion. For Critical Race (conspiracy) Theory, the “white” folk are the presumed guilty enemy which is a vague and confusing moniker. It can include groups of people such as Russians, Norwegians, Greeks, Chechens, etc. Likewise, the presumed overarching oppressed “people of color” is an equally confusing target. For example, African, Latin American, Asian, Arab ancestry, etc.

While we are on the topic of the nasty Nazi nexus, and to be clear, your author is not making any aspersions against the progressives to be in the same category. However, it is with hope and prayer we will not see such a terrible thing. Meanwhile, we have heard and seen progressives use the Nazi word with impunity in a broad-brush manner. But of course, the collectivists often make aspersions against their opponents using the Nazi and genocide allegations. They can go pound sand.

The glittering example of all this Neo-Marxism is professional (really?) sports players. Those who have the mental fortitude, and have read this essay to this point, can see the reason. It is all about preserving their grotesque overcompensation for doing their part of the Bread and Circuses spectacle. Meanwhile, scores of players openly disrespect the nation that makes it possible to collect their mentally disordered compensation. During the playing of the national anthem, these jackals engage in a quixotic display of hubris. Their hiding in locker rooms, taking to the knee, and turning their back to the flag is a demented virtue signal. This condemnation applies to nonprofessional players who do the same thing. Of particular concern is the Olympian woke folk who partake in this caustic behavior. Real heroes (gag me with a spoon)!

Note to the fake “do not generalize” mobocracy: your author does not apply the above concern to all sports players. Specifically, those who realize by engaging in this vile virtue-signaling they attack the very system that gives them their wealth!

Despite these crumb bums, free speech is a crucial right. Expression, even for things we do not like is vital to avoid the rise of totalitarianism. Of course, it is also about some decorum. We know, we know—the Trump card!

The Satan Bug infestation seems to coincide with Covid-1984 and the hyper-coarsening of society. Symptoms of the Satan Bug manifest as hyper-increase in vulgarity, aggressive driving, running traffic lights, very loud mufflers, very loud music (noise) blaring from open windows of automobiles, and sloth. An increase in graffiti or tagging is outward disrespect for property. Just look at freight trains these days to behold a bevy of satanic slop-drop painted on the freight cars. Yes, this is nothing new but has exploded in recent years.

We know that if projecting classic Marxism, these sports creeps would be the target. It is redirection (Neo-Marxism) of the most menacing kind. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) leader who brought a mansion in a ritzy LA neighborhood is another example. Extraordinarily little about that morsel exists in the psychological warfare mad machine known as the mainstream media. Nor will we see the same slop-drop media cover the BLM leader that quit because of the realization this is all a Neo-Marxist plot that protects the overlords and does nothing to truly help African Americans or other poor people in a true sense. A case in point is the BLM co-founder that gladly touts her Marxist training. Those influencers who realize the bad, see that BLM goals are in line with the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto. They are the unsung heroes!

This Frederick R. Smith blog is in no way an apology but a repudiation of the terrible injustice of slavery. This injustice has existed throughout the world since the beginning of recorded history. Slavery still exists in many African countries. An estimated 9.2 million Blacks live in servitude today and the atrocities Africans have endured overshadow anything experienced by Blacks beyond that continent.

But we rarely hear about this modern slavery because of the god of political correctness. Nevertheless, the American Revolution was the turning point against slavery and the Founding Fathers contributed to that transformation. Many of the Founders complained about the fact that Great Britain had forcefully imposed slavery upon the Colonies. The United States lead the world in liberty and the fight against slavery. In 1790, Massachusetts ended slavery. In 1840 all northern states passed laws for the immediate or gradual abolition of slavery. Also, see Frederick R. Smith Speaks; The Sin of Slavery, September 25, 2020.

And of course, the death any of any person of any race at the hands of the police is a serious matter. However, the mad machine, like all other issues, uses this terrible thing to magnify certain types of incidents and downplay others. Fits well into the Neo-Marxist game. How about a “do not respond list” for those who want to Defund the Police? But of course, we know such individuals call the police when they are in distress.

Even your author has some issues with the police. For example, they enforced the unconstitutional Covid “emergency orders” during the Covid plandemic. It drives your author into orbit every time he sees police at construction or other roadside works. They make easy money during overtime shifts doing something easily performed by flaggers. Rather than the vile Neo-Marxist plot to “Defund the Police,” how about doing some practical things like the establishment of a new safety credential for highway flaggers. Meanwhile, leftist politicians in progressive localities make the job of the police miserable. They direct them to stand down for certain things but at the same time target the cogent non-woke folk. Does that make Fred hate all police? Of course not.

Make no mistake about it, the “Defund the Police” bowel movement is a Marxist inspired ploy. The goal is a federal police force which is a dandy collectivist enforcement organ.

As a typical youngster of ten years of age in the mid-1960s, your author spent a lot of time outdoors, including exploring the local creek and wooded areas. One day, the local police visited the house to threaten your author. Freddy was seen walking home from the general area where a brush fire erupted. Just that observation alone prompted the good police to lecture your author about the dangers of setting fires. After the encounter, mom and dad said they believed your author that somebody else set the fire.

There is the time your author left an expensive object on the front seat of his parked auto while visiting a local park. There, a park officer aggressively confronted Fred making him out to be the criminal for “making the car a target.” Did these encounters make Fred hate all police? Of course not.

And there is the case of police harassment that a close friend (John Doe) endured. A neighbor behind John kept their mean and constantly barking dog outdoors tied to a chain on a 24-7 basis. John’s wife visited the neighbor and rang the doorbell to inquire about the constant barking. Rather than the neighborly thing to talk about the issue, the vile dog’s owner called the police to report a “trespassing incident.” After a year of the police harassing my friend and his wife by insinuating that they were “bad neighbors,” the police arrested the backyard neighbor. It turned out that the dog was the security for an illicit drug dealer. To add insult to injury, the police offered no apology. And just like the media mad machine’s gambit, the ethnicity of the drug kingpin shall remain undisclosed to avoid stereotypes. Did that encounter make John hate all police? Of course not.

We know, conservatives are the imaginary overarching threat. We hear it day in and day out as “extremism” or the “domestic terrorist threat.” The media projection experts are in control, but the gambit is easy to see. They up play and magnify the perpetrators that fit the bill of their right-wing boogeyman. The opposite is true with Antifa as the extreme example, but you get the drift. Also, from a policing perspective, please check out the shocking truth of the Ferguson Effect as narrated by Heather MacDonald.

For the final tidbit of this part, remember “white privilege” does not necessarily mean “White.” It is just another Marxist ploy. It means anybody of any race, sex, sexual orientation, nationality, or creed who embraces the American way (capitalism, free markets, limited government, culture, and values).

Stay tuned. Part Four, Dumbocracy, shows us that democracy evolved not to free “the people” from slavery or oppression, but to strengthen the control of free people over unfree people.
