D. L. Gardner: Whatever It Takes

Are there good, bad, right, wrong, and evil in the world? Most would answer ‘yes,’ but we’ll never see universal agreement on which is what. We need some One to adjudicate that verdict.


The Humanist Manifesto was written in 1933, but a second version was edited by Edwin H. Wilson and Paul Kurtz in 1973. It’s a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) pronunciation of the human condition. “Promises of immortal salvation or fear of eternal damnation are illusionary and harmful.” The document is rooted in atheistic Marxism. 


America is transitioning from “Make America Great Again” to “We are the world.” Essentially, current leaders are following tenets of the manifesto which states, “We deplore the division of humankind on nationalistic grounds. We have reached a turning point in human history where the best option is to transcend the limits of national sovereignty and to move toward the building of a world community… Thus we look to the development of a system of world law and a world order based upon transnational federal government.”


Addressing climate change, of course, is a major cog in the Humanist wheel. “The planet earth must be considered a single ecosystem…. It is the moral obligation of the developed nations to provide…massive technical, agricultural, medical, and economic assistance…to the developing portions of the globe.”


But, how do we make the radical transformation? Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals lays out the roadmap leading to transformational change. Alinsky wrote, “An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent…. He must create a mechanism that can drain off the underlying guilt for having accepted the previous situation for so long a time. Out of this mechanism, a new community organization arises.” 


Under President Trump, America became fully energy independent, economically and militarily dominant, a sovereign nation with sovereign borders, and a leading arbiter of peace in the Middle East. President Biden is building an administration that is hell-bent on reversing everything his predecessor accomplished. 


Americans need to realize these changes and this transformation process have nothing to do with former President Trump, except that Mr. Trump tried to turn America around from becoming a socialized nation and a rank-in-file member of the new world order. Nevertheless, the LEFT will continue to distract Americans’ attention by stirring up “dissatisfaction and discontent,” focusing not on where we’re going, but continually reminding us how “bad” things are in America. 


In merely a few weeks, 11,000 workers on the Keystone Pipeline have lost good-paying jobs, and thousands more energy workers are losing jobs. Instead of pumping oil through safe pipelines, companies will now ship oil via overland rail or oceangoing tankers. 


Teenage girls can now compete against and share locker rooms with biological teenage boys. Immigrants are pouring across our southern border unimpeded by ICE or Border Patrol agents. Thousands are being welcomed to America and given bus tickets to travel across our nation, COVID infections notwithstanding. 


But, who is to say what is truly good, bad, right, wrong, or evil? Evidently, our “leaders” in Washington have that power and the authority to enforce their verdicts. “What is it going to take to MAKE you wear a mask?” Well, “leaders” will do whatever it takes to coerce Americans to follow the latest “science” or ordinance.

DL,
The founding fathers were occultists and this is all part of the plan. They came to America to escape persecution for their practices of dark ritual magic. That is why Washington DC is full of occult symbols. The intelligence agencies exist to protect them from us. False Flag mass casualty events are literally blood offerings. 46 hasn’t made his yet, but he will soon.

Poor DL must barely be able to sleep with the evil libruls ruining his country. Sad!

Oh good grief!
Please DL and 9:23 am, as someone descended whose family was here before the Revolution and were Patriots when the term was first used,
what you've written is ridiculous conspiratorial and political and philosophical nonsense.

Please read non-fiction, well researched books written by those who have studied a subject all their lives...who've actually held historical documents in their hands.

Some of us did indeed notice that we live on a small planet. We noticed that some humans are deranged and maniacally egotistical. Some of our father's helped stop entire regime of psychopaths.

The problem is you wouldn't recognize evil but here's a hint, telling the verifiable truth is the sign of a good person as is not trying to harm or smear others with invented stories. Lying and inventing stories and conspiracies that don't exist is evil. Trying to encourage hate and ideations of superiority is evil.

At least, try The Bible and focus on the seven deadly sins and the Sermon on the Mount and The Ten Commandments. What on earth do you think " bearing false witness" means...testifying in court?

Spare us your vitriol and baseless conspiracies.

What you don't like is global economic theory. It's not a conspiracy. It's a poor theory that isn't working well, especially in a pandemic and was embraced by western countries to further capitalism.

If you studied history or economics or philosophies or human behavior at all, you'd not be so gullible.

I assume the comment at 9:23 is satire, so I'll leave it alone. The U.S. is overwhelmingly Christian in belief, and founded on the right to freedom of religion. Democrats are not anti-God, and "atheist Marxists" are not storming our shores as an invading force.

The Voices In Your Head said...

9:23...What's in that tin-cup? It's no doubt a magical potion. When does your ship sail? Please advise departure date and arrangement of the planets.

And if you don't mind my asking, how many times have you watched Close Encounters Of The Third Kind? Twenty? Over forty? Daily?

President Trump is a liar,bully ,womanizer,and draft-dodger.Believe it or not that disturbs many conservative veterans ,including myself.You've bought into a morally bankrupt cult.

Just because I can said...

LOL at self publishers

It is disappointing to keep seeing this QAnon gibberish being posted

12:46 am There was a time when I ,too, would have believe 9:23am was being facetious.

Unfortunately, the party of Trump has made that impossible to discern.

Since families can no longer involuntarily commit family members they suspect of having mental illness for an evaluation, those folks are online and able to find each other. They are in political groups differentiated only by their symptomatic ideations.

7.5 million in a population of now less than 300 million who believe this nonsense of a stolen election and far fetched conspiracies is easily achieved. And, when you add in sociopathic politicians, the undereducated and the hopelessly. gullible, you get January 6th.
You also get a former President who is a pathological ego maniac who admires and envies dictators.

Consider me Rational In National Objectives...RINO to DL.

2:35 - Have you bothered paying attention to Biden's lies? I forget - which branch of the service was he in? While Trump was dating around, what was Joe-boy doing other than sniffing pre-adolescent girls and boys? Your selective indignation is just to obvious.

As another conservative veteran, who gives a shit what you think?

8:52, You mention mental illness. Here are two that I think help to explain a lot about how we got here:

1. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/evolution-the-self/201112/narcissism-why-its-so-rampant-in-politics

2. megalomania - obsession with the exercise of power, especially in the domination of others. delusion about one's own power or importance (typically as a symptom of manic or paranoid disorder).

Must be a slow day at the Jackson Free Press. Their readers have taken over the JJ comments section.

Wow, a lot of shrill reactions here but not one rebuttal point made.

When you don't have a credible counterpoint, demonization of the author becomes the standard response.

@12:15 - Hi Daniel, can you consider making well- reasoned, coherent arguments in your future articles?

Anonymous said...

Gardner's latest column reads like the ravings of lunatic. It doesn't really lend itself to a rational point-counterpoint discussion.

Is this guy for real? What is he even trying to say?

An awful lot of ignorant people ITT have never heard of Benjamin Franklin’s “Hellfire Club” and have zero curiosity to even seek out the truth. To many propaganda worshippers who have been conditioned to only believe their preferred sources.

@12:18
Would that "non-fiction writer" be David Irving.
And what "historical document" did your ancestors hold in their hands?

@8:54PM, does anyone actually read those long winded comments? If they cant get to the point in a sentence or two then they have no point. Rambling geezers.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
