Check out this quote from an article by J. R. Nyquist: 

“Ancient political thinkers wrote about basic human corruption. When exposed to money and power for any length of time, people tended to become spoiled. The occasion of this spoiling heralded bloody upheavals and revolutions. In America and Europe we have already seen a social revolution. The attitudes of our grandparents have been disputed and set aside – in matters of church, state and family. New attitudes have taken their place. Our grandparents were strict in ways we are not strict. They were disciplined in ways we are no longer capable of discipline. They were frugal, and the Great Depression was real to them. Today we borrow money, and we borrow again. We are addicted to debt.” 

The rest of the article is well worth the read, here is the link: http://www.financialsense.com/stormwatch/geo/pastanalysis/2007/1026.html 

The quote above is spot on and I think it pretty well describes why the sheeple have multiplied. And it seems to be a fairly recent phenomenon. I can see the gradual decline in my life time of 52 years (so far). And while it was gradual at first, it seems to be gaining speed. The last 10 years seems to have bred more sheeple than the previous 42 years of my life.  I think there are many reasons for this, decline of the family unit, increase in dependence on credit, new technology that becomes obsolete in a few months (in the small minds of the sheeple) and has to be bought again so that they have the “Latest greatest” gadget.

Guess I’m old fashioned. I do have a cell phone and mine last at least 2 years. I only replace it when it fails or when the cell phone carrier has stopped supporting that model. And I buy based on my need, not on what is fashionable. I don’t give a shit if it surfs the net, takes pictures or plays games, I want it to make and receive calls, period. 

But I digress. We have become a country of soft, weak people. The day is coming when our enemies are going to exploit this weakness and I’m afraid the day is near. Who we think are our friends are in truth, our enemies and are allying against us. China and Russia have become military allies and are rearming themselves. We are helping China build their military by buying all the “Made in China” shit at Wally World and other stores. In the process, we are weakening ourselves and out economy.

When the economy collapses (and it will), most Americans will sit around, wringing their hands and wait for the government to do something. Our military is spread out around the globe and our enemies will strike. 

Two more quotes: 

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when we are far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him.” - Sun Tzu

War to the hilt between communism and capitalism is inevitable. Today, of course, we are not strong enough to attack. Our time will come in thirty or forty years. To win, we shall need the element of surprise. The Western world will need to be put to sleep. So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movement on record. There shall beelectrifying overtures and unheard of concessions. The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate to their own destruction. They will leap at anotherchance to be friends. As soon as their guard is down, we shall smash them with our clenched fist.” 

Dmitrii Z. Manuilskii

Lenin School of Political Warfare, Moscow, 193) 

The fall of the Soviet Union was a deception that had been planned for many years. The fall of the Iron Curtain heralded the fall of our guard, just as our enemies hoped it would.
 

Watch a movie that was made in the 1980’s, “Red Dawn”. A very politically incorrect movie that became something of a cult classic. It was about the invasion of the Soviets and their allies against the USA. It is a snapshot of what happened in one small town in Colorado. But I think that it captured what life was like in a small town at that time. Tough people that raised tough kids. The kids knew how to hunt, camp and shoot guns (gasp!!).  

I grew up in a city of about 160, 000 people. We spent a good bit of time out in the country camping and shooting. I never cared much for hunting myself but love to shoot. I had cousins that grew up in a small town in Texas of about 4000 people and I used to go visit. Seeing unlocked pickups in the high school parking lot with guns in racks in the back window as pretty common.

My mom remembers boys carrying their .22lr rifles to school and leaving them by the door, just in case they saw a rabbit on the way home.

Contrast that to now, today, out attitudes towards raising kids, guns, everything. Kids can get into trouble for drawing a picture of a gun in school, much less actually having one. Doctors are questioning kids when they examine them as to if they have guns in their houses. 

We have become weak and it will destroy our society. Most Americans think the being self-sufficient means drinking tap water instead of bottled water (it has to be so much healthier, right?). They bitch about the price per gallon they pay for gas while sipping from their .5 liter bottle of water that they paid over a dollar for. 

When I say weak, I’m talking about the population of the US.

There are some wolves out there that know how to survive, that won’t follow the sheeple herd to destruction. Find them, learn from them, become one of the pack. Shed your sheepish mentality and become strong before its too late. When our society collapses, when our enemies invade, it will be the strong that survive. The sheeple will die or be herded into “reeducation” camps. We will have an opportunity to fight our invaders and possibly get our country back. In the process, we will build a stronger society and hopefully learn from our mistakes. Or we may very well die in the process but at least we will die on our feet fighting, not on our knees. 

One more quote from J.R.: 

“We must not suffer a recession, say the Americans. We cannot support a war, even in the defense of our own long-term interests because our country has no interests worth dying for. Let the dollar fall. Let our enemies take the oil fields. What will the world do against us? They must export to us, they must send oil to us; they must eat our bonds, our treasury notes, our worthless paper currency. This is how it has always been. This is how it must always be. If the Russians are deploying bombers and making dry runs at the American homeland, we do not care. Let them play their silly war games. We aren’t alarmed. If British intelligence has detected Chinese preparations for a surprise attack against the U.S. Navy, let us pronounce a decided “HO HUM” and go about our business. Let us shop until we drop. Let us watch cable television until the rest of the world sinks out of sight. Why should we contemplate the boozy Russian or the desperate Chinese? Why should the distant hovel interest us? We are fat from eating, and our eyes are glazed from entertainment.” 

‘Nuff said! Randal

I love it when I’m proved right by independent sources. My comments are below the article.  

WARNING! If you watch the video (you might have to copy and paste this link to do it) http://www.mail.com/MediaPlayerV.aspx?videoPath=APVideos%5cplus%5c20071123%5c1123dvs_tx_shoppers.xml&cat=plus&position=1&totalVideos=200

Don’t be scared, it is not a scene out of a Zombie movie, it is real footage of the sheeple in a buying frenzy. More scary that any zombie movie if you ask me. 

The following article is from Worldnetdaily.com, here is the link: http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=58850

Texas shopping massacre

Take a look at video footage taken outside a mall in Mesquite, Texas, Nov. 23. (Be sure to turn up the speakers on your computer to get the full effect.) Were it not for the accompanying caption, one would think they were witnessing some horrendous tragedy unfolding – a gang related incident – a shooting – maybe an earthquake or some other natural disaster.

On rare occasions, I’ve seen a similar kind of frenzy breakout on a much smaller scale when certain celebrities arrive to walk the red carpet at some staged Hollywood event, but nothing as large, intense and spontaneous as what was recorded here. 

 Now, if people act like this just to gain entry into a shopping mall to spend their money on bargains in times of plenty, how will they behave when the stock market plummets to near half its value, banks close their doors for days or weeks at a time and the U.S. dollar collapses on world markets – when food, water, shelter and the bare necessities of life suddenly become scarce, unavailable or just unaffordable? Are we ready for that?

Are you ready for that?

Because this video was shot in the heart of the Bible belt, I suspect many if not most of the shoppers captured on tape attend churches each and every Sunday – but probably not with the same kind of fervor. That’s not to say their pastors and church leaders don’t try to create this kind of atmosphere, considering they proudly employ many of the same customer-oriented, emotionally-driven, impulse-evoking tactics, strategies and marketing principles the malls and their tenants use to stir up business.

Unless there is something else at work here that I am not aware of, I think its safe to assume that the stampede we see in this video clip is probably not caused by a shortage of merchandise or an over abundance of spending money, but rather by an over abundance of merchandise, dangerously dwindling cash reserves and credit limits that are telling worried card holders: “If you want it, you better get it now” – much like a homeless wino begs for money from nameless passersby to purchase himself one last bottle of holiday joy before the liquor stores close.  

But, you know, when I drove past the Nashville Rescue Mission yesterday and saw the crowds of street people surrounding it right before Thanksgiving, they didn’t look nearly as desperate and delusional as all of those shoppers clamoring to get inside the mall.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.         Revelation 23:17-18 

Randal’s comments: 

The passage from Revelation was in the article, not from me but seems appropriate. 

The article and video proves my point about the sheeple/zombies in this country. They followed the flock to the mall for a 1 am special opening. Not because the prices at that time were going to be so much lower than they would be later, not because the stores were giving away anything of value but because it was “Black Friday”, the media hyped it, their friends were going and the fucking idiots followed along with the herd. 

And what did they come out with? I’m sure they got the latest fashion pushed by the pop star de-jour on TV, or that new “must have” perfume that J-Lo is pushing. Or about that newest gadget! Got to have that new IPhone! “I just know it will be some much better than the mobile phone I bought last month! And won’t my friends be sooooo impressed by me! Because I have a fucking I-Phone!” 

Mean while, another child dies of starvation in Africa. Another soldier or innocent citizen dies in Iraq. Another “child soldier” is conscripted into a rebel army in some 3rd world country. And these fucking idiots are fucking clueless. In part you have to blame the media. The top news story will be about the shopping frenzy for Christmas. Another child has died in Africa? Who cares! I got my new I-Pod! 

Here is an organization out of the UK that you can buy something for someone from a third-world country as a Christmas gift for a friend or relative in their name. http://www.positivepresents.org/categories.php?sp_c=0 There are US groups that do the same thing but I don’t have access to that information right now. 

You want to do something that truly captures the meaning of Christmas? Buy a village a cow or fresh water filter. For the cost of an IPOD, you can setup 5 farmers in beekeeping. For the cost of taking the family to McDonalds you can buy medication for a child. 

But what will most Americans do? They will rush to the malls, max out their credit cards and buy a bunch of useless shit that will be obsolete in a few months when the newest version of their useless shit comes out. The “NEW AND IMPROVED USELESS SHIT VERSION 2.0!” And what will Santa bring for their kids? Well, more kids sized useless shit! And it won’t become obsolete, it will be broken within 2 weeks. Fuck them, fuck them all. Let them flock to the stores in droves. Then they will set around their Made in China plastic Christmas tree, supposedly celebrating the birth of Christ (we won’t talk about the almost slave labor used to make their Christmas decorations and presents), open up their presents of shit.

While this is happening, a family will be starving, a child will die due to the lack of clean water, another 3rd world despot dictator will be performing genocide but the sheeple will have their Christmas shit. Fuck them. Fucking hypocrites. 

Now someone is going to ask (Rachel :) , “Well what are you doing Randal that is different than the sheeple?”

Our family has adopted 4 kids that were born cocaine exposed, we are raising out grandchildren because we have a drug addicted daughter that can’t take care of them. We are helping a family in Nigeria get care for the mother who is on the verge of losing her leg. We are supporting a single mom and her daughter in Nigeria by paying for both of their school and housing. And we will likely buy a village a cow. I’m not bragging (well, maybe a bit, I am proud of my family) but the above is a fact. And yes Rachel, we will likely buy some toys for the kiddos and a bit of useless shit for each other. But figure the fucking odds of us being in the middle of a zombie attach on a mall like in that video.

Are you free? Think carefully before you answer this one. I’m mainly aiming this towards Americans but anyone can play along. I’ll ask again, are you free? I’ll even give you the answer….NO! You are not free. What defines freedom? 

Well, lets go back to the good old Merriam-Webster Dictionary and see what this freedom is all about.

 Main Entry: free·dom Pronunciation: \ˈfrē-dəm\ Function: noun  1: the quality or state of being free: as a: the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action b: liberation from slavery or restraint or from the power of another : independence c: the quality or state of being exempt or released usually from something onerous <freedom from care> d: ease, facility <spoke the language with freedom> e: the quality of being frank, open, or outspoken <answered with freedom> f: improper familiarity g: boldness of conception or execution “The quality or state of being free”. Do you have that? Really? I don’t think so. If you live in Amerika, you do not live in a state of being free. You own property, get married, get divorced, work, travel, buy goods and any number of things at the pleasure of the government and only after being taxed for most of the above Do you own property? Not really. Try not paying property taxes on your land or house and see how quickly the government will take it.
If you are “legally” married, you had to apply for and be issued a marriage license by the government on some level, same with a divorce.
 When you are born, the government issues a birth certificate and a handy, dandy social security number that stays with you until you die. How about travel? Free to travel you say? Um, no, sorry. If you are going by car, motorcycle, just about any type of private connivance, you have to have a license, your car has to be tagged, likely has to be inspected, you have to pay taxes on your car, fuel, repairs, tires, brakes, etc. You have to obey the traffic laws, you have to wear your seatbelt, you have to buckle up your child, in some places, you can’t smoke in your car if you have a child in the car, you can’t talk on the cell phone in most places, you may not be able to park without paying more to some city government agency, you can’…well, you get the idea. And try getting on a train or ship without ID. Now someone is going to say “you can always bike or walk”. Maybe you can unless you look different then you may get stopped by a police officer and asked for your identification (your papers please comrade). If you are walking at night, it is more likely. You can only cross the street by obeying the laws. In Texas, you are supposed to carry ID on you (not sure this is law but just get stopped by a cop and see what happens when you fail to ID yourself). Oh, and the walking shoes or bicycle you are using, you had to pay taxes on. Buying goods? Taxes, taxes, taxes. Some things, such as prescription drugs, you have to have a prescription for (government mandated), you may have to show ID (liquor, tobacco, some over-the-counter drugs, guns, ammo). Oh, you have to have money to buy goods which calls for a job, which you have to have your Social Security number to get and before you buy goods, taxes are likely already taken out. Now someone is going to say that you can die without the governments approval or sanction. Well…..no. You can only die the way the government wants you to die. If you die in your sleep, fair enough. Or perhaps in a flaming car accident. OK, guess you don’t have to have the government’s approval for that (just its approval for the vehicle to have the accident in). But if you are terminally ill, tired of waiting to die and decide to end it all, better do it yourself but the government ain’t going to allow anyone to help you without persecuting them and in some states, just attempting yourself is against the law and you can be charged.
And of course, after you die your family has to pay taxes on the casket, funeral plans, etc. A government issued death certificate has to be issued. The government may force an autopsy to be done and, oh yea, I forgot! The fuckers are going to take a huge chunk of what you left behind, if you have much to leave!
 

Now some fucking moron is going to say “well, if you obey the laws, you remain free”. Bullshit! Using that same logic (or lack of same), the women living under Taliban rule were free as long as the obeyed Taliban law. Hell, using that logic (or lack of same), prisoners are free in prison as long as they obey the rules, only go where the warden allows them to go and don’t cause trouble.

 If you are living on the streets, don’t own any property except for what is on your back, you are more free than the stupid, middle-class fucks who mortgage their lives to buy the latest, greatest gadget advertised on TV. The truly poor have a power only equaled by the very rich. Think about that, it is true. The poor have nothing for the government or lawyers to take. The rich can shield themselves from the blood suckers. Now someone is going to say, “Randal, you aren’t free either by your own definition”. It is true that I pay taxes and obey the laws (well, most of them), carry ID, all that stuff. But the difference is that I don’t delude myself by saying that I’m a “Free American”. I fully realize that what freedoms I have left I have at the pleasure of the government. What they can’t do, yet, is keep my quiet. They can’t take away the free spirit that defines me, they can’ shut me up. I can also imagine some stupid son-of-a-bitch saying “If you don’t like it, leave!”. If you are considering righting it down in the comments section of this blog, I’ll answer you now, FUCK OFF! This country was founded by people that saw what was wrong and fought to change it. Our country is 180 degrees away from what our forefathers envisioned for us. We have lost that vision. We have become mired in the consumerism culture. We have become slaves to our own desire to have the latest, greatest gadgets and clothes. Most people in this country don’t give a shit who is in power as long as they get to have their Ipods, fancy cell phones and color TVs. These people disgust me.  Don’t wave your plastic “Made in China’ US flag at me and tell me that I’m un-American. FUCK OFF.

So, my little Zombie Sheep enemy, are you free?

19 November 2007

ZOMBIES ARE COMING! WAIT! THEY ARE ALREADY HERE!

I don’t know about you but I love zombie movies. Usually a bunch of survivors with guns stuck in the middle of a city full of zombies, think if it as a “target rich environment”. What could be better? Shit load of ammo and a shit load of targets. What a way to spend the weekend, beats the hell out of fishing.

But then I realized that they are real, that’s right, there really are zombies out there and I’m fucking surrounded by them! Think about the zombies in the movies. Glazed eyes, garbled speech or grunts coming out of their mouths. Shuffling along in groups towards any one that is not a zombie. Anyone that still can think for themselves, can operate on their own, anyone that will not willing go down without a fight is their enemy. The zombies will track them down and eat their brains.

Check out this definition from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

zombie

Top of Form

Bottom of Form

Function: noun Date: circa 1871 1usually zombi a: the supernatural power that according to voodoo belief may enter into and reanimate a dead body b: a will-less and speechless human in the West Indies capable only of automatic movement who is held to have died and been supernaturally reanimated2 a: a person held to resemble the so-called walking dead; especially : automaton b: a person markedly strange in appearance or behavior3: a mixed drink made of several kinds of rum, liqueur, and fruit juicezom·bie·like \-bē-ˌlīk\ adjective

I underlined the parts will-less and speechless human” and capable only of automatic movement” for a reason.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to describe the “sheeple” as “zombie-like”. Because most of the people in the United States have become “zombie-like”.  How can I say that? Okay, lets take it one line at a time.  will-less and speechless human” Americans have become will-less. They have lost their self-will. They follow the herd, they believe what the talking head fucks on TV tell them, they dress the way the advertisers say they should, the drink what the commercials say they should drink, they mortgage their lives to buy the cars that society things are “hot” and exceed their own limitations to live in a house that they can’t afford. They have become self will-less. They have lost their own will, their own self and become “zombie-like”. And speechless? Again, how many people can truly have an intelligent conversation and truly speak their own mind. How many people can keep from quoting what Oprah, Rush Limbaugh, Dan Rather or some other talking head says? They can’t. If you ask them what they think about the war in Iraq, they may not quote Rush or Hillary or Bush directly but what they tell you will have been formed by what they have heard, not what they actually think or believe. They are “speechless” in the sense that they have become an extension of the mouthpieces on TV and radio just regurgitating what they hear. 

What about the “capable only of automatic movement” part?
 

The sheeple automatically follow the flock. Just like the zombies in the movies, they shuffle after the other zombies in front of them. What are they looking for ? Anyone different than them, anyone that thinks for themselves, looks different and doesn’t follow the herd. Why are the zombies doing this? To destroy those unlike themselves. To try and kill them (metaphorically speaking) and assimilate them into the herd. Well guess what motherfucker, I will not be assimilated. I am a fucking zombie killer and I’m fucking coming after you (metaphorically speaking). I want to kill your inner zombie. I want to cut you from the flock and turn you into a free thinking wolf, turn you lose to hunt down more zombies and kill them (metaphorically speaking).

Been traveling for a few days from Houston to West Africa and finally back at my desk. Lots of thoughts go through my head when I’m traveling since often there is little else to do.

One thing that I have been mulling over is the issue of illegal immigration. And guess what? I have solved the problem of that particular issue.

First off, I think most Americans don’t care so much about illegal immigrants as much as they do that their tax dollars are going to medical care, schooling, subsides housing, etc. for people in the US illegally. And also there is this claim that immigrants are taking American jobs. Okay, lets take them one at a time:

 Are illegal immigrants getting services that are being paid for my mine and yours tax dollars? No doubt. However, it is not that I have a problem with my tax dollars going to pay for services that someone over here illegally have tapped into but that I have a problem with ANY able bodied person getting ANY services paid for by my tax dollars. If you are able to work, you should be out there working. Not sitting on your lazy ass watching Jerry Springer. I don’t give a shit if your family goes back 15 generations on American soil. Get a fucking job!

Are illegal immigrants taking American jobs? Sure but why? Because Americans have bitched and moaned and groaned, joined unions, fought for minimum wage increases, filed law suits for injuries that were often their own damn fault, etc,etc. American employers are often left with two options, hire illegals or move their companies overseas.

How to solve the issue of illegal immigration? Two steps: 1. do away with any welfare type program for anyone that is able to work. 2. Do away with minimum wage, enable employers to hire and fire employees when needed without some union or Uncle Sam breating down their necks.

Americans, if you don’t want illegal immigrants taking your jobs then fucking take them back and stop bitching about it.

Would the steps above solve illegal immigration? Nope but it will cease to be an issue because it won’t be taking tax dollars to deal with it.

I’m a wolf. It is in my name, spirit and heart. It is imbedded in my personality. I have, and always will, live as a wolf. I will never become a sheep (or sheeple).

 

I should first off define what I mean by my use of the term “wolf”. No, I didn’t get bit by a wolf walking on hind legs during a full moon. What I mean is that I have always chosen and followed my own path. I refuse to follow the sheeple mentally that most people in the US and the world follow. I don’t give a shit what the most popular music is, the latest fashion, which popular star is in jail (or dead) or anything else that seems to capture and hold the attention of most people in the US. I don’t follow sports, don’t drink the hyped beer advertised or shop in the fashion stores.  I never have.

 

When I was in school in the 60’s and 70’s, I was the same way. I dressed the way I wanted, not the way my classmates did. In high school, I ran with a bunch of freaks that did drugs. I liked them, it was fun watching them get stoned. They were different than most of the rest of the students and accepted me even though I did not do drugs myself. I resisted all their peer pressure and they finally gave up and accepted me the way I was. I was “goth” before anyone, including myself, knew what “goth” was. I spent a lot of time roaming graveyards and wore a lot of black, still do. Don’t ask me why, is just the way I am wired. I didn’t know anyone else that way that influenced me, just the way I turned out.

OK folks, hang on for the ride. I have a blog on myspace.com/texaskojak but I can’t access it from work (I work overseas) so I’m starting up this one so I can update it regular. Once I get home, I’ll likely migrate my myspace.com stuff over to hear.First off you are warned that this will be a blog of my thoughts, opinions and a place for me to vent my spleen about the stuff that pisses me off.My user name is Shieldwolf which has several meanings. First is that my first name is Randal which has Anglo-Saxon origins and means “Shield Wolf” or “Wolf Shield”. Second is that my nature is that of a wolf in that I don’t follow the heard of sheep (meaning most of the idiots in the USA hereafter referred to as “sheeple”). This is an attitude that I have always had since I can remember and I’ll talk about in later blogs.Third there is a story about an old Indian chief who supposedly told his grandson.:“A fight is going on inside me. It is a terrible battle – between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, pride, envy, lust, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, lies and cruelty.“The other wolf stands for honesty, kindness, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, friendship, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.“This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too,” he added.The grandson reflected on these words for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”The old chief simply replied, “The one you feed.”Got it? Good!

Enough for my first post, keep checking on the site for future (and some past) postings.
