13JAN2021 – OCF Update – We’re Still Here

photog Current Events, Trump , ,

Amid the Sturm und Drang of the last week or so everyone has been thrown into turmoil as the Left attempts to cast out President Trump and all of the fallen angels in his camp into the Outer Darkness where they hope there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

But sad to say for them, we are still here.

In fact, I’m having a remarkably good day.  The sun is shining.  My granddaughter spent a remarkably vigorous half hour jumping around on a gym mat and occasionally on my stomach while I read over the body count from the pogroms.  My breakfast tasted just as good and Camera Girl was just as cantankerous as ever about my table manners.  Sure, the popular culture I am surrounded by is just as dysfunctional and toxic as ever.  Nancy Pelosi is winding up her impeachment machine in a foot race with the last week of the President’s term and Democrat and Republican hypocrites are baying for the blood of anyone they can tie to the January 6th farce at the Capitol.

And yet, we’re still here.

I intend to write my posts and write my stories and talk to my friends and raise my family the way that I see fit.  They’ll still have to go a long way to make this the Soviet Union.  And now that they hold all the offices and pull all the strings they’ll find that all the anger that will accrue when they torture us over COVID and allow the BLM thugs to attack people will be pointed directly at them.  They will find out that when you unleash chaos it doesn’t just break things you want it to.  Some of that chaos finds its way back to you.

I find it kind of liberating to see everything out in the open.  Everybody knows who is on their side and who is on ours.  The masks are gone.  Amazon and Facebook and Twitter and Apple and Google have shown their true face.  They can quit the routine where they pretend they’re just trying to earn a living.  They hate us and now we can hate them right back.  When someone finds a way to hurt them we don’t have to make sympathetic noises about how sad it is.  Driving them out of business is the most patriotic thing you can possibly do.  When someone hacks Amazon one day soon and causes them a trillion dollars in losses we can laugh out loud.  When Apple’s next phone is an Edsel I’ll cheer.  When Twitter crashes and burns I’ll declare a holiday.

And the endless call to build our own platforms is finally being answered.  Gab has been alone in the wilderness for four years and now that everyone else has been shutdown they’re overloaded with new customers.  I checked out my page there and things are so bogged down by the new traffic that it’ll take weeks for them to get the server space up and running to make it work right.  If President Trump opens a page there Andrew Torba will probably have to charge admission just to keep up with the demand.  And he should.  What will need to happen is Gab or Parler will have to put the whole thing on a profitable basis.  They’ll charge everyone a couple of bucks a month and suddenly social media will be something worth being on.  That will eliminate the bots and the losers and it will actually resemble an ocean of different communities.

And last of all, I’m looking forward to the first BLM riot that ends with twenty or thirty Antifa clowns blown up.  I figure eventually someone will set up a big old bomb and put it where the arsonists can accidentally set it off.  Now that will be what I call poetic justice.  I’m imagining Dementia Joe and Cryin’ Chuck making a call for unity and healing.  I’ll laugh myself asleep that night.

So here we are in Post-America, living under the occupation forces of Dementia Joe.  The horror is only beginning and it will be pretty awful.

But we’re still here and we’ll make it work.

Free America – The Realm in Exile – Part 1

photog Current Events, OCF, Trump , ,

I hope that President Trump finds a platform soon and gives us a rousing speech and declares himself the leader in exile of the free people of the former United States of America.  I hope he gives us his version of the St. Crispin’s Day speech to raise our spirits and begin this period in exile on a high note.  I hope he raises his flag and begins building an alternative to the Republican party so that we have something we can belong to that stands for what we believe in.  And when he does I’ll join it on the first day and support it any way I can.

But I don’t feel like waiting.  I’m in the mood to mutiny.  I aim to misbehave.  I hereby declare myself a charter member of Free America.  Free America is the part of the former United states of America that rejects the fraudulent elections that took place in 2020 and will maintain a nation in exile until we are freed from the control of the Pretender who will soon inflict his evil and illegitimate control over us in any way he can.

I will do all that is within my very meager powers to lend support and comfort to anyone of my brothers and sisters out there who is of the same spirit.  I will do my best to provide information and hopefully morale for those of us who are unrepresented in the tyrannical regime that has usurped power in Washington.

So until someone comes up with a better term and builds a more meaningful platform to represent our people, Orion’s Cold Fire will be the headquarters for Free America and the voice of free Americans living within the borders of Post-America.  Tell all your friends that they are invited to come and speak their minds and share information and provide encouragement for the rest of us who don’t feel like just knuckling under and giving up all hope.  Giving up is stupid and weak.  There’s too much here worth keeping alive here to allow these creeps to win without even trying.  So that’s what I feel like saying today.  If someone smarter and stronger and with a bigger following wants to lead then let him show up and I’ll wave his banner.  But until that day I’ll make a start and plant my flag and say, “Here I am.”

What’s President Trump’s Next Move?

photog Current Events, Trump ,

I assume Dementia Joe and Willie Brown’s Ho will start off their fake regime by passing a whole bunch of laws to make us miserable and trample on our constitutional rights.  Whatever atrocities they commit I’ll do my best to neutralize their effect by appropriate avoidance techniques.  But I’ll be damned if I’ll actually listen to anything those morons have to say.  I don’t have the strongest stomach and I think it would be bad for my digestion to hear that kind of bilge on an empty or full stomach.  Unless, that is, if someone tells me that there are some really hilarious gaffs included.  And even then, it will be annoying to see his ugly stupid head.

But what I’m really interested in is President Trump’s next moves.  I want to hear from the man.  If he is going to set up an operation I want to know if it’s something I can get involved in.  A social media company especially one that allows users to network with people from our side would be very exciting.  And a small fee to set up a site on it wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me as long as it works well.

A news media company would be okay but honestly, I get my information from websites now and television isn’t so much of a thing I’m interested in anymore.  But burying FoxNews is an admirable goal so that would be okay.

Maybe he’s going to start a political organization, either a third party or a PAC that will represent the interests of the Deplorables.  That would be amazing.  I could see an organization like that primarying every single one of the quisling Republicans that turned tail and showed the yellow stripes on their backs during the “riot in the Capitol.”  Seeing Mitt Romney ejected during a primary election would be one of the happiest moments of my political life.

Or maybe he’s going to two or three of these things at the same time.  Or maybe he’s going to get back into his own business.  After all, four years is a long time to ignore a large company.  Maybe it’s time he got back to making money.

Or finally, maybe he’s tired and will want to retire and write his memoirs.  I’m sure he could sell a hundred million copies of a book that details the things that went on in the White House during his administration.  It would be fascinating and very educational to many, many of us.

But whatever he decides to do I’d like to know.  Having him cut off from his people is weird.  I don’t think there’s been a week in the last four years that he hasn’t sent us messages about what he was thinking and doing.  Having to hear about Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer or especially Dementia Joe is just too boring and unpleasant to contemplate.  They are pathetic losers and subhuman creatures that don’t merit anyone reading or hearing their words or thoughts.

So, come on President Trump, set up a website and provide us with some content.  It doesn’t have to be restricted to tweet length messages.  Keep us informed about what the real leader of the real Americans is up to.  Don’t leave us to the dreary prospect of subsisting on the nonsense that comes out of “official” Washington.  That’s a fate worse than death.

Being Right on the Net

photog Current Events, OCF, Trump , , , , , ,

Google, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, PayPal, Apple, Microsoft, Kickstarter, etc., etc., etc.  The internet giants will be doing everything in their power to shut down the opposition to Dementia Joe.  They will de-platform, ban and demonetize everyone on the right they can think of.

Will this work?  No, not really.  What it will do is change the basis of how things will work going forward.  Conservatives won’t be able to free ride on the social network platforms and monetize their popularity through Google’s monolithic stranglehold on the flow of information and internet advertising.  The Right will be forced to set themselves up as Mom-and-Pop shops doing their advertising in places like Parler and Gab.  Well, so what?  That’s probably a good idea.  Being under the thumb of the Tech Giants means having to pass their ever more biased speech codes until you’d end up either sounding exactly like the Left or completely silent.

The harder challenge will be the banks and credit companies.  PayPal and some of the other e-commerce payment processors have also been cancelling out the accounts of people whose politics they don’t approve of.  The last I heard there are some alternate processors who will serve instead.  There are probably problems associated with the alternatives but right now those are the breaks.  It can be expected that the Left will continue to put pressure on these alternate providers to close ranks to try to starve out the Right.  And for that reason, in the future it should be a priority of any organized front on the Right to build up financial platforms of our own to protect us from the Left’s blockade actions.

Up until now I haven’t monetized my site at all.  I really want to find out if I have anything worth selling.  But I have noticed a few folks making the first moves to putting in paywalls around some content and accepting a few reasonable ads on their sites.  I like what the ZMan is doing.  He gives a plug for businesses that are owned by conservatives.  That makes a lot of sense.  We’re going to have to have a lot more of exactly that.

And I’ve been threatening to finish a book I’ve been working on for months.  Well, the excitement of the last couple of months has set me back at least that long but one day I’ll be peddling my opus magnum and I’ll have to decide whether I will use Amazon exclusively or try some other venue.  Maybe I’ll even have a store of my own.  We’ll see.

But the thing about all this is that it would go a lot faster and easier if we had a billionaire who had the wherewithal to set something up that catered to us.  A combination Facebook, YouTube, PayPal and Kickstarter just for the Right.  No more deplatforming, no more banning no more doxxing.  Basically, a place of our own.  And meanwhile the billionaire would make money hand over fist doing it.  Think of the merchandising and other opportunities available from having almost a monopoly over about 150 million Americans.  Now that really is worth the trouble of setting up.

If you’re reading this Mr. President think about it.  Building that would feel like a revolution all by itself.

Here’s some links for web hosting for conservatives and social media for us.

The Outrage Comedy of the Capitol Riot

photog Current Events, Trump ,

Today we have every corner of the establishment, Republican and Democrat, rending their garments, tearing their faces and ripping out their hair, denouncing the horror of bison man sitting in Nancy Pelosi’s speaker’s chair.  Granted, the police decided to end the comedy with a real tragedy when they murdered Ashli Babbitt.  But up until that point we were witnessing a replay of what the Left allowed and even encouraged to go on during the “Summer of Floyd” follies that they imposed on their own cities.  They allowed the mental defectives in Antifa and BLM to ransack police stations and even Seattle’s City Hall with complete impunity and then they celebrated the chaos as justified.

They’ve allowed race baiters to pull down statues of Abraham Lincoln and other leaders but we’re supposed to be upset because the Capitol trespassers may have stolen Nancy Pelosi’s gavel.  The Left burned down countless businesses, beat and even murdered innocent Americans and stole whatever loot they could get their hands on but we’re supposed to be upset that they broke some windows in the US Capitol.  It’s hilarious just how tone deaf they really are.

Even most of the commentariat on the right is twisting itself into a pretzel to denounce the President and protestors for their dastardly act of subversion.

Please.  Who cares?  The Left just stole in plain view, the election for President of the United States and will be installing a dishonest dementia patient in that office.  Two hundred years ago our ancestors would have burned the Capitol to the ground with the Senators and Congressmen still in it.  These gangsters are just lucky that we’ve allowed a hundred years of propaganda to enervate the spirit of the men in this country.

The good news is that most of the news coverage of these events is completely unwatched by actual human beings.  Various bots of the tech companies are the only ones suffering through this nonsense.  But it is indicative of the absurdity of the times we live in that the idiots on the right like McConnell, Graham and even Cruz think they need to throw President Trump and his followers under the bus to keep from being on the wrong side of history.

This reaction on the right makes it clear as crystal that these people are clueless and these people are useless puppets.  They live in the echo chamber that is Washington DC and they are beyond any hope of understanding how their constituents actually feel.

But I will say it again.  We don’t care.  We don’t care that the Capitol was breached by a mob.  We don’t care that you were scared by bison man.  We don’t care that someone took a dump on your desk.  We don’t care if they stole your phone.  You deserve much worse.

We do care that you allowed a young woman to be murdered and nothing will be done about that murder.  There won’t be a national day of mourning or a vow to prosecute her killer or a public funeral or a sponsored riot to punish her enemies.

When Dementia Joe blasphemes his way through the oath of office, the legitimate period of the United States of America will officially come to an end.  In Post-America the order of the day will be to pore over the videos of Dementia Joe for comedic gems to be included in blooper reels.  This will help to ease some of our pain as the totalitarian regime systematically extinguishes our remaining freedoms.  But until they solve the technical problem of erasing memories, I will cherish the image of bison man running wild through the rotunda.  Such are the small pleasures of life still left to us.

Now We’ll Have to Do It the Hard Way

photog Current Events, Trump

I was listening to the ZMan’s Friday podcast this morning and something he said resonated with something I’ve been thinking about for the last few days.  To paraphrase, he said, the Democrats own all of this, they don’t have anyone to put the blame on anymore.

And that’s sort of the only good that comes out of this whole election fraud.  There’s no nonsense about coming together.  We’ve just been mugged.  We’ve been knocked to the ground and robbed.  Only a moron would want to shake hands and cooperate with his attacker.

The press always talks about a honeymoon for a new president.  Although they make exceptions for Republicans.  They attacked W from the beginning and of course they attacked President Trump unendingly from the moment he was elected.  The press will make believe as hard as they can that everybody is in love with Dementia Joe and Willie Brown’s Ho but once again even their side doesn’t believe we’re that stupid.  I expect Parler and Gab will become major conduits for obscene mockery of the Presidential and Vice-Presidential pretenders.  And that will be a good thing.

Of course, the Senate and House Republicans will fawn over the pretenders for months to try and curry favor and in response they will be beaten like red-headed step-children by the Democrats and the Media.  And honestly, nobody will care at all.  I’ll be surprised if there are any Republicans left in the House in two years or in the Senate in six, even the few who actually care about their constituency’s opinions.  Those few will probably switch over to a new party by then.  It would be great to see McConnell and Romney sitting all by themselves in some corner of the Capital building talking about the good old days when people still cared who they were. And paid them graft to vote against their constituency.

Without a doubt Dementia Joe and his stooges in the Congress and Administration are going to torture us for as long as they can.  They’ll strip us of our rights and shut down all of the jobs we have and import our replacements by the tens of millions.  But this time we won’t be talking about building a coalition to win back the White House and the Congress, except for the stupid and the dishonest.  No one will be wondering why things are going so badly.  Only idiots will be wondering why the stock market keeps going up but employment and wages keep going down.  As the opioid crisis becomes a national welfare program where the poor are given their pills in the expectation that they’ll just fade away to death sooner rather than later and the transgender crusade is institutionalized into an avenue to funnel the gullible into hormone therapy to preclude them ever having children, the people who want to survive will be looking for a movement and a party and a leadership to take their side against the madness.  We’ll be looking to free ourselves from our captors.

The Trump presidency was the last chance for the establishment to listen to the voice of the people.  We did everything by the book.  Millions voted for the first time in decades and told the Elites they want to have their country back.  And the Elites called on the city bosses to manufacture the millions of fraudulent ballots needed to silence those millions.

The anger that this created is still growing.  Once the COVID lockdowns are extended indefinitely in 2021 there will be a source of irritation that will feed the anger and frustration that people feel.  Add onto this the BLM protests that will begin again in the spring and summer and you have the makings of an actual insurrection.  Really the only question is where will it spring up first.  I don’t think there is any way to predict where it begins.  The FBI will be looking to stamp out any sparks wherever they can but that’s sort of like the situation that you get with wildfires.  Unless you remove the fuel, every spark is a potential conflagration.  I guess they could begin to fill up gulags with dissenters.  That will be easy to see too.  But I think that will be an accelerant too.

My question is whether it will have to be a grassroots movement or whether a leader in one of the red states will decide to step in and say no to the federal government and act as a nucleus for a new nation.  Once someone takes a stand it will spread and be replicated and it will become unstoppable.

Congress Certifies the Election.  Where Do We Go from Here?

photog Current Events, Trump , , , ,

So, it’s official.  Mike Pence uselessly officiated at the vote count and only a handful of senators had the backbone to put up even a token resistance; Cruz, Hawley and a few others.  So, everyone including President Trump has agreed that “Dementia Joe” Biden will be hauled into the White House and nailed up like a scarecrow while his handlers pull his strings and make his progressively addled mouth and brain parrot whatever teleprompted gibberish they want him to spew on any particular day.

Yesterday’s street theater was either the beginning of a rebellion against a fraudulent presidency or the death spasm of a free people.  Time will tell.  The juxtaposition of the media’s portrayal of yesterday’s protest versus the obscene “summer of Floyd” rioting and looting is so ludicrous as to defy description.  Ashli Babbitt, who was murdered yesterday, is such a stark contrast to all of the “victims” that were endlessly celebrated in the summer of Floyd that nothing else is needed to highlight what the two sides stand for.  The left holds up criminals and degenerates as saints and martyrs while decent patriotic Americans are branded with every slur imaginable.

So, as predicted, they stole the Georgia senate elections and now control the Senate, the House, the White House and effectively the Supreme Court.  Technically we have a 6-3 majority there but apparently Roberts and one or two of the new boys are under the Left’s thumb.  They can write any laws they want and the Supreme Court will back them to the hilt.  They control the social media completely and through Google and Amazon they control access to the internet and e-commerce.  They control the banks and they control Wall Street.  They control the bureaucracy, the intelligence apparatus, the Justice Department, the IRS and even the military.  They control the schools, the colleges and the press.  To say that they have us by the throat is an understatement of biblical proportions.  Even this tiny one-man show of mine isn’t too small for them to shut down when they get around to dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s on their program of eliminating the dissenters.  That’s the beauty of the server farms that Google had the government buy for them.  They can write an algorithm that counts up every last syllable of dissent and just cancels it out of existence.

And coming around to the title, where do we go from here?  Well, from my point of view, we stop waiting for a man on a white horse and we become the answer we’re waiting for.  We’re embedded in a matrix of lies, stupidity and degeneracy.  We have to develop defenses to protect our children from the corrosive effects of these poisons.  They’re too young to understand the lies.  As for adults that believe this stuff, they’re probably hopeless and need to be avoided as much as is possible in our private lives.

I can’t assume there are enough brave men left in this country to organize a rebellion.  We’re all too hamstrung by our dependence on all the government systems that control every aspect of our lives.  Everything from the money in our bank accounts to the cops on our streets are controlled by the other side.  If a rebellion occurs then I’ll join it.  But I see my place as providing information for the people on our side and a place where we can talk and discuss the events of the day.  I’ll give my opinions and pass along any links to others who are trying to organize cultural and commercial endeavors that help our side in some way.  In my personal life I will work to form a local community of like-minded individuals.  That is something we all should do.  Linking those local groups together would be something for a social network to accomplish.  What that network will be is still a question mark.

I will make it a special part of my time to think up humiliating and I hope amusing insults to use for Dementia Joe, his underlings and their pathetic antics.  You have to do something to amuse yourself while waiting for the execution.

So that’s it.  Until someone raises an armored division we are officially under the permanent control of Big Brother here in Oceania.  2 + 2 = 5.

Maybe This is the Beginning of Something Big

photog Current Events, Trump ,

What happens next is worth watching.  Will it sputter out or are there really enough people who have had enough that something big is in the wings?  We’ll see soon enough.  Suffice it to say that people are pretty fed up.  It’s funny to hear some of the “pundits” on the right condemning this as if horrible violence is being committed.  Compared to what was going on during the “summer of Floyd” this is nothing.  This is just a bunch of people who are pissed off and want their government to listen to them.  I hope it grows.  I want the federal government and the Congress to know that they’ve alienated more than half the country.  And I wouldn’t be surprised to see civil disobedience and worse to start going on across the country.  And when they swear in Dementia Joe on the 21st I wouldn’t be surprised by anything that happens.

Sure, people may just knuckle under.  The Left now controls every lever of power.  They can take everything from you without you being able to say anything but there will be some small number of people who either haven’t got anything left to lose or who have enough courage to risk everything to make a statement.  Maybe this is just a small hiccough caused by the extinction of hope for the election fraud to be acknowledged and adjudicated.  Maybe this was the whimper that follows the reading of the death sentence for American democracy.  Call it the dead cat bounce of our fighting spirit as a free people.  All those things are one way it could go.

Or maybe just maybe it’s the first round of Americans telling their overlords that they have had enough.  It caught my attention.

Update – Now they have their first martyr, and it’s a young woman.

What do you think?

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

 

Some Perspective on Auditing Elections

photog Current Events, Trump ,

Larry Correia is one of my favorite sf&f authors, being the creator of the Monster Hunter and Grimnoir urban fantasy series.  But in an earlier life he was an accountant who had frequent involvement in government audits of various sorts.  His cranky opinion on the hypocritical double standard that the Democrats are maintaining concerning auditing the elections seemed very apt.  If you’ve already had enough of the election stuff you can skip this.

One of these things is not like the other

What Will the World Look Like on January 22nd 2021?

photog Current Events, Trump , ,

According to current US federal law the man who will be President of the United States for the next four years will be sworn in on January 20th 2021.  Who that man will be is the subject of the most heated debate this country has seen in the last two hundred years of presidential elections.  So far, the electoral college has declared Joe Biden to be the winner of the presidential election.  It only remains for the Congress to certify this declaration on January 6th.  Whether there is a way to convince Congress to intervene against the Electoral College vote is what is currently holding the entire country mesmerized.

President Trump has stated on numerous occasions that he has sufficient proof of electoral fraud to permit the election results to be put aside.  Whether that proof is overwhelming enough to convince most of the American people is the first question.  The second question is, even if this proof is convincing, will Congress act on this proof and overturn the Electoral College result?  As with everyone else I am waiting impatiently for the event.  January 6th is ten days away.  When and how will this proof be presented?  Will it be broadcast to the whole nation or will it be transmitted to the Supreme Court?  Will it be incontestable or just testimony that cannot be verified independently?

The whole situation is so unprecedented that until recently I would have declared the very idea of Congress taking such unprecedented action as inconceivable.  But I would also have thought that the fraudulent voting activities that openly went on in the swing states inconceivable too.  And the idea that a corrupt dementia patient will be installed in the White House by means of an openly stolen election is so outrageous I would be willing to accept just about any series of events that would prevent that disaster from taking place.

At the same time I think the Left would resist any attempt to prevent Biden from reaching the White House by any means necessary, up to and including armed insurrection.  This makes it even more mind boggling to imagine what kind of proof would be so unassailable that spineless politicians would risk their precious necks to do the right thing.

For all of these reasons and because of how many legal challenges have already been shot down by the courts it seems like it would take a certified miracle to fix this heinous crime that is wending its way inexorably toward fruition.  But I want to believe that it will happen.  Because otherwise it will be an enormous step in the total unwinding of the normal reality I used to believe we inhabited.

If the United States has descended all the way down to banana republic status then everything else that is dependent on the United States being a great and stable nation is also without foundation.  Think of the things that rest on the certainty that the United States is the unshakable moorings of our civilization.  The mutual defense organizations like NATO are founded on the stability and strength of the United States and its military and economic might.  The US dollar is the reserve currency of the whole world.  It is based on the integrity that the US government has in the eyes of the American nation.  If all of these things are just fairy tales that the American elites tell the peasants and now those peasants have stopped believing them what might not happen?

What if a disgruntled American general decides to hijack a bunch of ICBM silos and declare himself the Emperor of Middle America?  How soon before the Russians and the Chinese start to think that lobbing a rogue missile into Manhattan would be an excellent way to get a nuclear civil war going?

We live in very troubled times.  And it’s pretty clear that most of our leaders are useless.  When you look back in history, times like these seem to breed revolution and then tyrants of one stripe or another.  It’s genuinely depressing to think about but it has to be faced.  We will need an extraordinary amount of luck to navigate the next few years without crashing on the reefs that these troubled seas contain.  But I suppose it won’t be boring.
