Predaceous Preclusion




Have you ever awakened examining a word that you have never used or heard used but leaves an incessantly nagging urge to examine? I sometimes wonder why the Lord does this. Predaceous [ie. Living on prey] Preclusion [ie. The act of shutting out or preventing of access or possession; the state of being prevented from entering, possession or enjoyment.] defines the very nature of the draconian dictates being imposed upon us by an outrageously erroneous predicant.


Before we start we need to re-examine the founding fathers under girding defense of the life, liberty and pursuit of happiness clause in the Declaration of Independence. “The Rights of the Colonists as Men” authored by Samuel Adams begins as follows. “Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life; Secondly, to liberty; Thirdly, to property; with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature. All men have the right to remain in a state of nature as long as they please; and in case of intolerable oppression, civil or religious, to leave the society they belong to, and to enter into another.”


John Locke, author of “Of Civil Government” in 1689 asserts, “the great and Chief End, therefore of Men’s uniting into Commonwealth, at putting themselves under Government, is the preservation of their property.”


Thomas Jefferson, in his first draft of the “Declaration of dependence also penned those infamous words “Life, Liberty, and Property.” “The commonality between these men and others involved the formation of our government was that these rights were “God given.”


The best definition of property I could find was that of James Madison’s essay entitled “Property.”


 “Property… In the former sense, a man’s land, or merchandise, or money, is called his property. In the latter sense, a man has property in his opinions and the free communication of them. He has a property of peculiar value in his religious opinions, and in the profession and practice dictated by them…He has an equal property in the free use of his faculties, and free choice of the objects on which to employ them. In a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights…Government is instituted to protect property of every sort…Conscience is the most sacred of all property…


 That’s a lot of property talk going on there.  The “Sons of liberty” were not marching through the streets shouting “life, liberty and property” solely because of that minuscule tax by today’s standard, but by the absence of representation and a voice in the governing of their affairs and a right to their property as Madison defined it. The modern Marxist of today, true to their father, believes in the abolition of property. Due to the infiltration of their ideology into our government we see that rather than protecting property our government expropriates it by punitive taxation. We’ve seen bureaucratic agencies like the IRS weaponized.  Under a democrat administration we’ll likely see the repetition of Waco atrocities veiled under the guise of justice and protection, and we’ll be able to watch it on TV. We will relinquish our rights and properties to worldwide bureaucratic agencies with no recourse. Black Americans will remain slaves and pawns to their masters in the democratically controlled cities. Unborn babies will remain property to dispose of as desired. That will be the only demented sense of property left under the guise of choice. The guilty [democrat] will be innocent seemingly because their finger is not on the trigger. They just provide the hit man. We’ve devolved a long way since the founding of this nation. It’s not a surprise, nor would be to the founding fathers. They gave us a Republic with a firm Biblical foundation giving us the three pillars that would support it. They purposely decided against a democracy because they always implode. Ask Benjamin Franklin … after the Constitutional Convention, people asked him what kind of government they gave us. His response…“A republic if you can keep it!


I realize a lot of people will argue about the Biblical foundation of our country and often reference Jackson and Franklin so I’ll throw in another quote from Benjamin Franklin while in France on what we would call immigration. Besides being what we perceive as being somewhat narrow regarding the type of person we would welcome, he has a somewhat unsettling assessment for the modern progressive Marxist in concluding his essay entitled “Benjamin Franklin’s Advice for those Coming to America, 1784.”


“The almost general mediocrity of fortune that prevails in America obliging its people to follow some business for subsistence, those vices that arise usually from idleness, are in a great measure prevented. Industry and constant employment are great preservatives of the morals and virtues of a nation. Hence bad examples to youth are more rare in America, which must be a comfortable consideration to parents. To this may be truly added, that serious religion under its various denominations, is not only tolerated, but respected and practiced. Atheism is unknown there, infidelity rare and secret, so that persons may live to a great age in that country without having their piety shocked by meeting either an atheist, or an infidel. And the Divine Being seems to have manifested his approbation of the forbearance and kindness with which the different sects treat each other, by the remarkable prosperity with which he has been pleased to favor the whole country.”

 

That predaceous preclusion the Lord gave me, as I’ve come to see it, is the paint that’s coloring society today. Suppression of Madison’s view of property mirrors that of every dictatorial oppression seen in the history of man. Who could have dreamed this as the “American” dream. If what we are seeing now is a pandemic, then we can see one around the corner every time the left needs a political coup. Massive voter fraud decried as a myth, censorship beyond the scope of anything our country has seen in the past, outright lies by a one sided owned media, gives us the assurance that the sound of one hand clapping is the new norm. If history has taught us anything, it is that some one or group always wants to rule the world.


An insatiable predaceous lust seeks it’s prey devouring `anything in it’s path, precluding and suppressing that which suggests a God given right. The hurdle they must cross and they refuse to acknowledge is that God is real. He doesn’t change. Morality isn’t a floating crap table that caters to man’s whim at any given time and He administers justice accordingly. When a person’s life is a hindrance to their goal, it becomes disposable. If the most vulnerable aren’t safe, don’t be deluded into thinking you are.

 

“We need intimate knowledge of the past. Not that the past has any magic about it, but because we cannot study the future, and yet need something to set against the present, to remind us that the basic assumptions have been quite different in different periods and that much which seems certain to the uneducated is merely temporary fashion. A man who has lived in many places is not likely to be deceived by the local errors of his native village; the scholar has lived in many times and is therefore in some degree immune from the great cataract of nonsense that pours from the press and the microphone of his age.” C.S. Lewis

 

I love that guy. We have information coming out of our ears; some true and some false, but definitely not a lack of. Critical thinking is almost non-existent. Manipulation is the theme for today. If I might offer a modest example, and this model is widespread in textbooks today under different guises. You may ask me if I still beat my wife. If I say yes, I’m a wife beater. If I say no, I used to beat my wife. There’s no room for a truthful response that I have never beat my wife. Automatic assumptions are purposely injected to manipulate the response. People that swallow the lies surrounding the history of our country haven’t ventured out of our revisionist age back to original sources. Perspective is perverted for a purpose and the appetite for twisted fables to court our offended integrity are always on the menu. If “conscience is the most sacred of our property” as Madison says, it means little to the ideology that the end justifies the means. Conscience then, must most assuredly be reprobate to that end, and will negate any assurance of the security we have been accustomed to in this country. The beast is on the loose and his nature is as always “Predaceous Preclusion”.

                          We shall keep

                          Our vision still. One moment was enough

                         We know we are not made of mortal stuff

                          And we can bear all trials that come after   

                          The hate of men and the fools loud bestial laughter        

 And Natures rule and cruelties unclean   

                     For we have seen the Glory ----- We have seen

Method Madness

     I may not like something someone said but I will defend to the death their right to say it. This used to be the definition of tolerance; simple, but evidentially not progressive enough for all of us.  Still, opinions obverse to the simplicity of this somewhat pragmatic approach are obsessed with an insatiable appetite to control the dialogue by any means, all to often sounding like something resembling fingernails sliding down a chalkboard. Pragmatic approaches from either side are essentially experiential and all too often the criteria for the approach lies in it's ability to achieve a desired result. This doesn't necessarily make the approach true or honest. It just shows that it works.  A good wife beating might subdue or eradicate a nagging tongue, but remains morally reprehensible and unacceptable. 
     Some of you may have pegged me already as another mouthpiece for a particular party. I'm party-less. Washington was as dismayed at the devolution into a system of political swamp campings as I am. After considering the two party options, it is apparent there is no choice after the choice is made. Democrats have conveniently played the, "we were really the anti-racist party all the time." They say this despite the fact that every piece of legislation passed to suppress the black populace was theirs and the Democratic controlled areas are the most oppressive, and they are still the perpetrators of racist policies. Affirmative action, an obvious detriment to the equal opportunity that Frederick Douglas fought so hard for, with differing preference dependent on ethnicity, suddenly becoming the measuring rod. We used to call that a double standard. For the sake of fairness we tip the table in another direction much to the dismay of others as seen statistically as in the case of Chinese students. Melanin, the predominant pigment for skin color, must be the ruling authority in such delicate cases. 
     Coloring outside the lines is a somewhat slippery slope. Hate speech\hate crimes are nothing more than weaponized tools for the left. One crime, two penalties, dependent on skin pigment. One word with one acceptable and one unacceptable usage dependent on skin pigment. African tribes kidnapping people from different African tribes and then selling them to Spanish slave trade dealers to sell to southern Democrat slave owners makes for an  interesting coloring book. Still, white seems to cause the biggest blemish on society even when pigment as a qualifier is dismissed. A black person can magically become a "white nigger" if he is not in the right political swimming pool. A white person can magically become "white trash" if certain societal conditions are found to be lacking. Isn't it interesting how divergent scenarios like these can be the basis for a mutual alignment?  Still, some people just seem to have a propensity for coloring outside the lines and "all lives matter" suddenly becomes racist.
     A lie is not simply  "a terminological inexactitude"; a lie is often a truth told with bad intent. I may repeat the same exact words of someone else and yet I lie because I convey a wrong meaning. If you don't believe me, watch the news. As a disclaimer, I have to state that I rarely watch the news if I can avoid it. Politically, I base my voting decisions on voting records that are readily available. If you support abortion, that automatically disqualifies you from any possibility of securing my vote. (As a side note, is everyone aware of the disproportionate amount of abortion clinics in predominately black neighborhoods?)  Back to the news. News stemming from five major networks owned by the same people that all are repeating the exact word-for-word mantras [I've watched a clip showing 25 different newscasters saying the exact same thing] is all too often a method for a delusion of consensus with the secondary purpose of producing and or manipulating consensus.  
     "We the people," not really. The legislative branch used to be charged with that responsibility of representing us and the passage of law to which they were accountable to us.  Both parties have relinquished that duty and relegated it to federal bureaucratic agencies. Isn't it nice to see them holding hands on something!?  Our law or regulations [same thing] is now extended to these conglomerates with power to execute judgment, enforcement, and fine. Regulations have exceeded 600,000 in number. In twenty years they have escalated to the point of losing count without any possibility of oversight. Their survival as an institution is their first priority, focusing on perpetuating a continuous need for their service. Who's got the time to oversee that?  It's an infection in the body of our government much worse than any viral infection we're in danger of. Government agencies are now used to exact pressure and retribution on people who don't conform to ideologies held by the purse string holders.  We used to be a republic, then a democracy [one Marx's favorites because they always implode] and are by any reasonable semblance of a definition, now socialist. [See the 10 planks of the communist manifesto] We are a reproach to any recognition of our constitution. When a leftist uses the word republic to represent our government, he's lying to you.  Bernie's Socialist Republic is a contradiction of ideologies. Watch the short presentation I've posted for a quick and encompassing education on governments called "Types of Government explained". We're swimming in a cesspool of bureaucracy without a lifeguard in sight and sinking fast.
     History has the answer but it's being erased as fast as we make it.  I admire Stonewall Jackson. I admit he was a lawbreaker and a  southern democrat. Still, due to the fact that he was openly teaching slaves in his Bible school to read, despite the laws prohibiting this, I have to admire him. The majority of southerners didn't have slaves but were enamored by the theory of evolution that fed their delusion of superiority. Most fought for state rights. Still, this was inexcusable so let's demonize it while northern democrats, who were not opposed to slavery, but disavowed secession are in the clear. History certainly must be controlled to ensure a right portrait in securing a platform for our enlightened scenario of political correctness. So, a good twist or erasure? Which method to twist? It changes as fast as the political football is passed. 
     For the life of me, I don't know how much more of this new tolerance and diversity I can tolerate!  Lots of methodologies or ways to view things. Rationalism, fideism, experientialism, evidentialism, I use them all [combinationalism]. Still, you can misuse, abuse and twist them all. You can always find a hole in the bucket for sure, even when you combine them all. Lots of buckets just multiplies the number of holes. So, how do we find an authentic way or method of discernment, the real truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; or a liberating, fulfilling life of peaceful resolution in this brewing pot of despair?  It's in a Person. He says, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." His name is Jesus Christ. His Way is sure, His Truth is the truth and can be your truth, and His Life can be your life.`


"Thine iniquity hath an end" Lamentations 4:22


"My guilt is ended when I repent of sin; when I stop admitting and start confessing. Am I blaming any of my forbears for my present condition? Then my punishment will go on til I blame them no more. Am I blaming the circumstances in which I live? Then my punishment will go on til I stop blaming my circumstances. As long as I have any remnant of an idea that I can be cleared any other way than by God through the Redemption, my punishment will go on. The instant I stop blaming everything but myself, and acquit God of injustice to me, my recognition of Him begins."
                                                                    Oswald Chambers


Some "thing" is provoking a civil war, using a systematic methodical madness. They're using it because it works. They've been working hard the last hundred years with no signs of giving in. They call it "progressive." Our constitution was progressive. Nothing in history ever saw it's equal. In truth, history displays for us the same path of regression  over and over again. It's now become a game plan for reprobate leaders. Borrow my copy of Mein Kampf if you like. Whatever it takes. The bigger the lie the easier to swallow. Winning at all costs despite the means used.
     The end never justifies the means. We used to know that. Didn't we? The last delusion we need to be delivered from is the idea that we don't get what we deserve. God help us!
