Reflections From a Murky Pond

Hamas’s barbaric murder of more than 1400 Jews on October 7, 2023 are perfectly in accordance with their 1988 charter that in part “rejects any alternative to full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea.” It further directs: “The day of judgment will not come about until Muslims fight Jews and kill them.”

The Hamas charter closely imitates the Nazi’s Final Solution. Hamas’ premeditated murders in one day – inside the Jewish homeland – was the bloodiest day since the Holocaust. Hamas and its supporters in Gaza and abroad stay fanatically committed to reaching its future goals of the eradication of Israel and the Jewish people. Like Nazis, they burned victims. Like Nazis, they raped victims. Like the Nazis, they desecrated bodies. Indeed, the SS Handschar would be proud of them.

But the things rioting in the streets in support of Hamas and a new HaShoah more and more invert reality and call the Jewish people Nazis.

Oh yes! The Sons and Daughters of Man, if they and their children are ever to know peace, need the Ordo Hereticus. Only by firm action and resolute faith will Mankind survive this age of depravity and madness.

Freedom is freedom, after all. Hence, if we are forced to allow filth to desecrate our flag and/or the flags of our allies, burning the Hamas flag must be A-OK too. That just makes sense. You can’t have laws protecting some but not others, right?

Wrong, at least functionally wrong for the average American citizen. While various ever-so-educated legal pundits and scholars will claim from the rarefied safety, comfort, and isolation of their ivory towers that, in the absence of other factors, these are each protected acts of symbolic free speech, on the ground this isn’t the truth at all. In any Leftist controlled zone – geopolitical or digital – there are almost always those other factors. And, few if any normal Americans have the means or wherewithal to contest either the State or the platform when they are imprisoned or otherwise censored.

I mean, sure, if you burn the Hamas flag at home where nobody can see you do it, you’re “protected.” But, if you burn it where the things support Hamas can see it, you’re likely to be arrested, suspended from school, and/ or deplatformed. Conversely, they can do pretty much whatever they desire and the police will protect them, even up to using lethal force against you if you try to stop them.

Yeah, freedom is freedom… until it isn’t.

The Advent Of Christmas 2023

Well, now it is the Advent of the Christmas season this year. Hence, I shall now be decorating Reflections From A Murky Pond in the appropriate and now correctly seasonal manner. 😉

Explaining Millennials is easy. And, by this, I mean explaining their existence and commonness in America, not why they are like they are. The explanation is easy – Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill. 😆 I swear to Silenus, Strawberry Hill resulted in more Millennial births than anything else, though those damn wine coolers accounted for a lot of the later Millennials.

But, my fellow Gen Xers, lets not be too prideful. A damn lot of us are here due to: Andre’s Cold Duck, Mateus, and Lancers. 😉
