Dealing with the Lockdowns - Oregon version

There are two ways for the State Government of Oregon to make a Disaster Declaration. One is in the Oregon Constitution, in Article X, Section A. the other is an ordinary State Law, ORS 401.165, Declaring States of Emergency, referring to COUNTIES asking for this help, but they MUST provide details.

 

Have any of my readers seen those County Requests for Declaration? I haven't.

 

The ORS also says the Governor may declare such an Emergency, but it alludes to there being a requirement for details. I haven't seen Kate's details. Of interest to me would be which "models" or guesses she relied upon to declare the ENTIRE state was in mortal danger from Covid-19.

 

Hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20, and now we know that the original models and predictions were HIGHLY inaccurate, as they predicted death at the rate of 3% of population when, in fact, the actual death rate has been TWO-TEN-THOUSANDTHS OF ONE PERCENT.

 

Why will NO ONE of SUBSTANCE front up Governor Brown and ask for or DEMAND the answers to these "pesky details"?

 

Basing a major societal change which tosses constitutions out the window on inaccurate data has been done before, says my History Book.

 

For example, Hitler did it on 9/1/1939 when he invaded Poland and started World War Two in Europe, after declaring that Germans living in the section of Poland known as the Sudetenland were in mortal danger from racist Poles trying to kill them. Now the Democratic Party USA has done it right here, when our gullible President went along with inaccurate data (deliberately inaccurate or just sloppily inaccurate is still to be determined), so our Nation's economy lies in ruins after the two-month shut-down which was not required.

 

My take on all this is that it has now happened to the good old USA and can't be UN-DONE, so we need to bend our backs now, get back to work, rebuild our economic structures and above all, DON'T LET THE SAME CREW COCK IT UP AGAIN!

 

America, put on your working clothes, pick up your lunch pails, and head for your work-place. If the Management is too afraid of the government to re-open, first, tell those caviling wimps that you have their backs, and if they still won't open, kick them to the curb, go into the factory floor and start the production lines YOURSELVES!.

 

We are either the victims of the stupidest move by our governance ever, or we are the victims of a cruel political move to kill freedom. In both cases, the solution is GET BACK TO WORK, AMERICA!

Sunday sadness scribbling

I'm from an old and prolific Portland medical family, & I'm normally highly sympathetic with the medical profession.

 

I've turned, though. The obvious fact is that most doctors have chugged the commie Kool-Aid, and keep chugging it.

 

I profile a lot. I was taught how to do it in the various police academies I attended and in follow-on LEO training courses, plus profiling is just organizing common sense.

 

My main profiling these days is to classify and categorize the political opposition to our Constitutional Republic, but you already know that if you follow me on Facebook or on this Rivrdog Blog.

 

I will now profile the medical profession, and it isn't looking good for them. Here are my profile qualifiers:

1. Do you (choose one) a. Tolerate, b. Support or c. Actively Defend and advocate for Socialized Medicine? (record answer and move on)

2. In your entire office or suite of offices in a medical comples, is there a single US Flag on display? (record answer and move on)

3. If your work is for a health maintenance org claiming a religious afiliation, do you refer low-spirit cases to practitioners of the religion? (record answer and move on)

4. As to Covid-19, do you (choose one): a. Tolerate, b. Support or c. Actively Defend the suppression of alternate views on the USA's response to the disease vector? (record answer and calculate results):

 

Perfect (good) profile (rates Zero)

Item one should be a "no" on any of the three choices.

Item two should be a "yes"

Item three should be a "yes"

Item four should be a "no" on any of the three choices.

 

Here's the bad part: I have two offspring in the medical profession. One rates between 1 and 2, the other between 3 and 4, and they are nowhere as PROFESSIONALLY antagonistic towards the Republic as some other medical providers I've encountered in the past ten years or so.

 

In conclusion, I'm going to put it all together: the two most important professions in this USA are Information movers (newsies, computer gurus, etc) and Medical Providers. Both those professions are badly compromised as to maintaining the health and vibrancy of our Constitution and governance according to it.

 

Looking for what profession DOES unilaterally support our Constitution and governance according to it, I find only Veterans. A few months ago, I would have said Veterans and LEOs (I am retired from both professions), but the LEO profession has guzzled enough commie Kool Aid to remove themselves now as saviors of the American Way, following the Information movers right over the Marxist cliff.

 

Result? Of the 8.5 million Veterans, MAYBE 5 million are fit to fight for this Republic against the communist hordes.

 

Those aren't very good odds.

Blue-State Governors are Tyrants

This post deals with Oregon's Governor, Kate Brown, a democrat/socialist.

Copied from my Facebook post of just now.

Re: Oregon Constitution, Article X, Section 6:

Sorry, Oregonians, court precedent says when Government sets rules of "Sunshine", they must be followed or else all actions taken in the illegal sessions must be considered invalid.

The Governor's Emergency Declaration, which went into effect at midnight March 7th, expired 30 days later. Gauleiter Kate will, of course, claim that the Legislative Emergency Board action to approve an "Extension" gives her authority to continue her Nazi-style lockdown and suspension of personal liberty, but by the clear language of the Article and Section, it does NOT. How the HELL can secret phone "sessions" qualify as "Convening the Legislature", or, for THAT matter, how can a "meeting" of the E-Board qualify for this Constitutional mandate to actually HAVE a REAL SESSION? The Constitution means what it says. This Article & Section can ONLY be met by proper Notice to Speaker & Senate President, who then MUST make the duly-constituted Public announcement, then the Legislators arrive at the place to convene PHYSICALLY, then the Session is called to order. A proper extension of the Governor's Emergency Declaration also involves drafting a Bill for an Act, having it read in the appropriate Committee, voted out of that Committee to the Floor, debated, etc. There is PROCESS, and no amount of "danger" from the disease allows it to be circumvented. If you believe so, YOU may also properly be considered a Tyrant and usurper/destroyer of the Oregon Constitution.

Then there is the matter of the Primacy of the Federal over the State Constitution. The State Constitution clearly says when there is a conflict of Primacy, the Constitution guaranteeing the highest condition of Liberty takes precedence. See Article 1, Section 33.

Is #KillerKate going to argue that she has the power to suspend personal liberties when the Feds interpret THEIR Constitution to say those liberties MUST be preserved? When President Trump says, as he already had, that the States may resume commerce and life, liberty and etc, then Section 33 comes into effect.

If you believe the Governor, you: (1) Haven't READ the Constitutions, and/or (2) do not possess the reasoning power called Logic which is REQUIRED in order to make such interpretations.

That is all. You ARE free to pursue a normal life in Oregon now, and have been for over 21 days. If you decide, as I have, to continue your medical isolation, (I am properly considered "medically fragile") that is now and always was your choice. If you decide to END your medical isolation, THAT is also your choice.

Yes, YOU are FREE to make this choice, and the State is NOT FREE to restrict your right to do so.

BTW, true statistics show that the State's first claim that a "calamity" existed, a claim necessary for perfecting the Emergency Declaration (Article X, Sections (2) & (3), was NEVER TRUE. It just never even slightly approached that level that she claimed after Trump's "Epidemiologist" lied through HIS teeth, and constinues to at this hour. Proper investigation WILL show that high-level objections to "calamity" status were buried on orders of #KorruptKate, I will put $$$ on that...

BTW2: In Oregon, the civil Tort of False Imprisonment usually bring the falsely imprisoned compensation of about $3,000 per day. Multiply that by 4.2 million Oregonians and then by 21 days. My calculator gags on that number, but I believe it is $264.60 times ten to the tenth power. That's how much the State owes it citizens, and I'm going to bet that a class-action claim for this WILL be filed soon. The State's credit rating from Moody's dies on the filing date, and the State goes bankrupt shortly thereafter.

New point to ponder: If all the Blue States have to declare insolvency, how does President Trump deal with that? My guess? He fights their declarations of insolvency by accusing them all of conspiring via the Democratic Party to overthrow the US Government via #ScamDemic. If he can make THAT stick, then RICO the Democratic Party, and they accept blame, THEN he will allow bankruptcy, with conditions. The first condition: No more Democratic Party USA.

I'm worried

I'm worried.

I'm worried that the D-Rats, who DO know that this 'Peaching is uniting Trump's base, will continue anyway b/c it's all they have. 'Peaching lets them ignore their actual job of offering real solutions for real issues, but the Ds will finally figure out how to make impeachment work. That would include sucking in the RINOS in the Senate, as some have feared, b/c McConnell has FAR less than iron-hand control over the GOPes there.

However, the D-Rats' impeachment success would bring them Pence, who will be President before the Ds can actually ax Trump: (Trump will resign to allow this transition), and then run on his own for Eight More with his own base plus Trump's old base, and the Ds will quickly find out that Pence is FAR more inflexible than Trump on Social Engineering issues (abortion after heatbeat goes away under Pence, it probably won't under Trump), and Hollywood's culture-destroying entertainment moguls get to be real Pence targets, just to name a couple of changes towards more Conservative days with a POTUS-Pence.

No, if the Democrats do succeed with impeachment, their past 4+ years of anti-Trump work goes into the dumpster, b/c they didn't target CONSERVATISM at the outset, they came up with "Orange Man Bad" instead. Their strategic error is America's joy.

Bring it ALL on! Christ IS the Reason for this Season!

Will the Swamp ever REALLY get Drained?

Knowing now that Obama likely started the "Resistance" vs Trump before anyone else knew about it, makes for VERY strong evidence to sue the Democratic Party into oblivion and RICO their $$$ FOREVER!

 

How about it, Judicial Watch? You have the people and YOU, ALONE, are still actively Draining The Swamp.

 

The usual drill in political lawsuits would have JW waiting until Barr and his DOJ give them the word, but there is a significant chance that "word" will never come down, that @POTUS will not order Barr to indict anyone, and Barr won't do it of his own volition, even though that's within his purview as USAG.

 

@POTUS seems satisfied with hammering out Tweets and using acerbic language at his tub-thumper rally-speeches.

 

As I've said before in these spaces, the "Resistance" including the phony "''peaching", will not stop unless and until one or more major (D)-players are booked on their indictiments. There is enough evidence for indictments, especially HRC, and now Obama himself, not to mention Holder and company, Bubba and Miss Lynn.

 

I am afraid that now there will be no accountablity for the worst cases of Treason in our 242-year history UNLESS JW steps up to the plate with a Civil lawsuit, and that will MAYBE springboard the conflict-adverse President into taking CRIMINAL action against this cabal of Traitors known as the Democratic Party.

The "New" World Order and why it must die

A somber subject to be sure.

Eighty years ago, most of the world went to war with National Socialists. The National Socialists, aka "Fascists", declared their "1,000-year Reich", a World Order, and were then totally defeated.

 

The victorious Nations got together, formed the United Nations, declared that National Socialism would never again besmirch the world, but the collegial diplomats did NOTHING to protect their planet.

 

Today, we have the "New" World Order, a shadowy group very much dedicated to achieving the same goals of Socialism that were defeated 74 years ago and were outlawed by those United Nations 70 years ago.

 

In the meanwhile, the United Nations has now become the biggest enabler of National Socialism, which masquerades as other things, but on it's face, real socialism can't hide it's face, even when it tries hard to do that.

 

We're about to have another war to defeat Socialism right here in this USA, and the "New" World Order will see to it that the war is again, a World War.

 

My father fought in WW2, won that VICTORY, and passed the ensuing Mantle of Peace down to me. I did MY military duty and protected it, as best as I could, and the Oaths I swore are as sacred as the Oaths my father swore before me and my Daughter swore after me.

 

Every day, in many ways, the "New" World Order of Socialism tries to blunt my Oath, and I will eventually have to take up arms again to make good on that Oath.

 

The "New" World Order has an objective: after destroying the world as we now know it, rebuild a nation-less global society, no borders, no ethnic differences, total fealty to the Order and it's leaders. There are over 6.5 billion people on this planet now, and the "New" World Order has decided that all but a billion of them are surplus, and famines and war is the best way to reduce the populations to their target level. Oh, abortion, also.

 

Maybe 30-50 people sit in the top rank of the "New" World Order, and at their behest, five and a half billion people must die, if their goal is to be met.

 

Unless that 30-50 people in the "New" World Order top rank dies first, the depopulation of the planet will happen.

 

YOU face a choice of whose side to take in this conflict.

 

I'm already sworn as to which side I will take.

 

Yes, the choice has come down to this.

Trump's Kurdish brush-off: the BIG picture

As I turn my pundit's eyes on this, I see Trump in la-la-land. In a dream, he has convinced himself that Turkey will be a better ally then the Kurds.

Yes, the Kurds ARE fickle, have fought for both sides against the middle, but in the end, we KNOW what the Kurds want: they want a Kurdistan, a homeland.

Few follow Ergodan close enough to know what he really wants: he wants to be Caliph in his version of an Islamic Caliphate.

Now think about each those two results as a separate outcome: a Kurdistan, where Christians would be welcome, or a Caliphate, where they wouldn't be? Easy enough for me to decide, and frankly, I can't understand a lot of my smarter friends, Trump supporters all, not seeing this obvious fork in the road.

Islam is an irrestible force, implacable because their "Holy Writ", the Qu'ran, orders them to keep converting everyone to Islam until there are no more Infidels left. Those they can't convert must be put to the sword. Now, my Trump-Tight friends, just what part of THAT nightmare scenario will be fixed by "Fortress America"?

Nope, because the West failed to REMOVE Islam when it had the chance, a thousand and more years ago, we ARE stuck in a forever war TODAY. If we just beat feet as Trump wants to do, Islam wins again, in Syria, gets stronger, and eventually gobbles up that Nation, which is now secular, not Islamist.

It's our turn to be gobbled up next, if we don't put some hurt on the fundamentalist Mullahs, BAD hurt, and we can't do that from inside our own borders unless we want to go nuclear on them. Look at our own "fiftth column", the Democratic Party. Pro-Islam all the way, they are ON RECORD as favoring acceptance of Islam over our Constitution, which the Founders wrote so as to EXCLUDE Islam.

As I see Trump, the human being, he has a very "human" fault: he wants to be Mister Nice Guy. His mistake here was simply trying Nice before Necessity.

Writing down the History of Civil War Two

Yes, yes, I know it hasn't started yet, but it will and within the next 400 days, too.

It's interesting. The Democrats are using the same failed playbook for "Impeachment" as they did to try to stop the confirmation of SCOTUS Associate Justice Kavanaugh: when no dirt can actually be dug up, make up some.

The "whistleblowers" have a valuable role for the GOPe. They all point out the fallacy of letting the enemy remain within your ranks after you assume command.

I see a WORSE threat to this Nation than a House Impeachment of President Trump now.

The same gaggle of commie gabbling-geese Obama left-overs that has ruined Trump's ability to control the State Department, the Office of Attorney General, and several other Federal fiefdoms, is still there, lurking in our Nation's military branches.

That cabal is collectively known as the Obama Generals and Admirals. Obama knew that he would never have complete control of the Federal Government until he got complete control of the Military, so he very quickly fired our best war-fighter Flag officers and replaced them with his own "yes-men". Over 200 perfectly patriotic and judgmentally-sound General Officers were retired and younger, less-experienced Obama-faithful officers were given their duties. You iknow the results: Social Engineering to the max; Rules of Engagement which don't allow combat-engaged soldiers to return fire; "arresting" radical Islamists instead of just killing them in combat, etc, ad nauseam. All from Obama's mind on "how to do war".

All those Obama Generals and Admirals are still there, and when the proverbial feces hits the rotating blades of the ventilation machine (in the approaching Civil War), then President Trump tries to restore order using the military, he will not be able to. Some of those Obama Generals and Admirals will work effectively at blunting and disreagarding those lawful Orders of the Commander-in-Chief.

Every GOPe President since Eisenhower made this same mistake: assuming that simply being elected and sworn in as the Chief Executive meant that they actually RAN the Nation.

None of those GOPe CEOs actually have RUN the country in detail, and the lurking, backstabbing Democrats have refined their "Resistance" to where their words in directing it sound just like a dictator's orders to his minions. Rep Tlaib of MI wants the US Marshal's Service to plan on how they are going to arrest Trump supporters when the Democrats steal the election win. She has already declared supporting Trump to be a Federal Crime, evidently without a Statute of Limitations. No such law exists, of course, but she indicates that will happen.

This Nation will see Civil War within one year and one month, and the historians chronicling it (I hope to be one of those) will note that the Democrats' power to open that War stemmed directly from the GOPe's failure to actually CONTROL the vast Federal bureaucracy politically when it had the chance to do so.

What a waste! Millions will die, the Nation will be fractured for the next 150 years, and all because the GOPes were simple dreamers, unable to accept the true level of Democrat perfidy. What a waste!

Marxism 102, short course

Election 2020, Marxism on display. I give you "Marxism 102" to help you sort it all out.

 

There are two kinds of Marxism in the world today: Classic (Maoist) Marxism and Oligarchical Marxism, which we could call "Modern Marxism", I suppose.

 

Classical Marxism, the Marxism of Che Guevara, the Sandinistas, Mao in China, Nikita Kruschev, is all about "we are going to FORCE Socialism on you, and no, we don't care where the necessary money comes from, we'll tax at 100% to pay for it." In other words, with Classical Marxism, there is no wiggle room, no one is allowed to be rich except the State.

 

In Oligarchical Marxism, the Marxist dictator (the Oligarch) ALLOWS some of the benefits of Capitalism: you CAN accumulate $$$ to a degree, also, consumer goods past the bare necessities of life ARE allowed. The State still controls most everything, such as banking, education, etc, but to the slaves laboring for the dictator, it ALMOST seems like freedom. This is the Marxism of Vlady Putin in Russia, of Xi JinPing in China.

 

Application time. Hop back into our borders (everyone else wants to!) and let's look at what Marxism HERE feels like. We have Election 2020 coming up, with our Soft-Capitalist President running against a bunch of Marxists. BTW, we retired an Oligarchical Marxist (Obama) when we elected Trump. Trump now faces the (whoever) Marxist (fill in the name) for election in 57 weeks. Trump campaigns on his Capitalist successes, and the Marxists are all campaigning on THEIR plans to destroy those successes and put Marxism in place of them.

 

All of the high-ranking Democrat contenders are Classical Marxists except Biden, who would be an Obama-style Oligarchical Communist, but he will go away quickly now because he couldn't zip his lip and boasted about his oligarchy on video. Oligarchy is still frowned upon in America.

 

Bernie, Harris, Warren are the front-runners left, and they ALL have spouted Classical Marxist lines of destroying business and industry by Nationalizing it, financing Statism by doubling taxes (or more than doubling, if you do the required math). Of course, removal of Civil Right is a theme all three follow, also: you can't have that pesky R2KBA and that pesky Free Speech undercutting Marxist power, can you?

 

Nope, the Democrats have seen and felt just how fast Marxism can be reversed with a Capitalist at the helm, so now they abandon their gradualism approach to Marxism and go Full-Frontal Communist.

 

The D-Rats will lose next November, and Trump will be re-elected, perhaps even changing the House back to GOPe control in the process. Communists ALWAYS lose elections when they have to play by Freedom's rules, but they have a Plan for that, also: It's called Revolution, the bloodier, the better.

 

When Trump wins, or maybe even before that if the polling shows him to be unbeatable by September or October next year, USA's streets will run in blood. That's sad, but necessary, because the Final Lesson of my Marxism 102 course (this will be on the Test) is that old truism that Marxism can be VOTED in, but it can only be DRIVEN out, by force of arms.

 

You know what, students? The Communists think the same way about Marxism, and we Liberty-loving types have backed the commies into a corner now, so yes, people, you WILL get to use those #TenMillionRifles in anger...

The R2KBA, and why there will be WAR to protect it

I get up, trot down the companionway to the Mess Deck, find da wiff asleep in front of Misogynist-NBC. A headline blares: "Trump finds big mental health problem in gun violence". While I'm pouring a BIG cuppa Joe (with her, if the day starts with MSNBC, it's gonna be a LONG day for me, need BIG coffee), the femolly mouthmessers start talking Backgroud Checks which are Registration (yes, the Left now admits that Registration is a goal, presumably on the road to Prohibition and Confiscation).

 

I take the first sip of the hot coffee, and the "scales fall from my eyes" (Acts 9: 1-22). Why YES, they probably HAVE cited the Trumpster correctly for once. There are ONLY three mentally healthy cases for gun violence: self-defense from lethal attack, organized warfare, and violence committed on food animals, i.e. Bambi. All other violent uses for firearms are mental aberrations, and should be prohibited, but WAIT, there's more.

 

Mentally aberrant gun violence IS already prohibited, in fact, in most places, you may not even fire your gun except for one of the three above cases or upon an organized shooting range. Can't fire it, it harms no one, right?

 

WRONG! The very EXISTENCE of guns is violent, claim the gun-grabbers, because the FACT of a gun's existence EQUATES to violence, in their not-so-humble opinions. It is MIND-VIOLENCE, or terror that they describe. MY guns cause them to be terrorized. Because.

 

Summing up the "Gun-Grabber Philosophy", we find that:

1. All guns are evil, all the time, PERIOD.

2. All guns WILL be FOREVER evil, no good can ever come from a gun.

3. By extension, all those possessing or bearing arms are EVIL, so it's logical to pre-empt their EVIL by restraining them.

 

My friends, I try to live my life appreciating, learning and practicing LOGIC, which is the DEFINED "normal" mental state of mind. The ILLOGIC presented by the anti-gun people is astounding in it's ABNORMALITY, as is the potential for terrorism on the part of the gun-grabbers towards a significant part of our USA's population (the gun-owners).

 

Far from PREVENTING gun-violence, the gun-grabbers actually PROMOTE it by attempting to overturn our God-Given and Constitution-encoded Civil Rights.

 

Sadly, this leaves us only one choice, if the Left manages to convince a fairly decent President Trump to encode more gun-banning even before the Left has a political right (gets elected) to do that.

 

That choice is to declare organized warfare upon the gun-grabbers, to protect our Constitution and it's orderly society from their planned (and now OPERATIONAL) anarchy and disorder.

 

Desist, gun-grabbers, or suffer the consequences of the prevention of your intended destruction of my country. I'm SWORN, on an Oath backed with my very blood, to prevent what you plan for and now show you intend to do to my country.

 

I am sworn to war with the gun-grabbers, and so is every other Veteran. We ARE the #TenMillionRifles.
