1. California town defies state, declares itself a 2nd amendment sanctuary city.

(This is a wonderful use of commie tactics against the commies. Except these people are using these tactics to preserve individual rights as opposed to deconstructing them)

The town of Needles, California, may not be large in size. In fact, it has a population of 4,844.

However, it just made a huge move against California’s tendency to ignore the Second Amendment.

 

The small town, which borders Arizona in San Bernardino County, declared itself a Second Amendment “sanctuary city” last month, according to The Sacramento Bee. That’s not just words, however: It’s the opening salvo in a battle against the state’s restrictive gun laws.

 

“The City Council wanted our community to know that we support their Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms,” Needles Mayor Jeff Williams said in a June 15 statement, according to The Bee.

 

“While we recognize that all lawful gun owners are responsible for ensuring they are compliant with state and federal gun laws, we also recognize that the State of California cannot adopt laws that impair the rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment.”

3. Cambridge to assign white academics an ethnic minority mentor to combat racism and assist ‘institutional change’

Cambridge University is running a “reverse mentoring” scheme for staff to combat “structural racism”.

 

Under the project, white senior academics and management staff are assigned one of their black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) colleagues as a mentor in order to encourage “institutional change” at the university.

 

It is part of a raft of initiatives that the university’s equality and diversity department has introduced over the past year, aimed at boosting diversity and driving out racism.

(It may be time to start calling them, “Poison Ivy League schools”. Isn’t this what the Soviet Union called a “political officer”?)

4. Tunisia bans face veils in public institutions after bombing

(Quebec should add this to its ban-fuel)

Tunisian Prime Minister Youssef Chahed has banned the wearing of the niqab – a full-face veil – in public institutions with immediate effect, citing security reasons.

 

“Chahed signed a government decree that bars any person with an undisclosed face from access to public headquarters, administrations, institutions for security reasons,” an official source told Reuters News Agency on Friday.

 

The decision, which was reported on state media, comes at a time of heightened security in the country following a double suicide bombing in the capital, Tunis, on June 27 that left two people dead and seven wounded.

Witnesses said one of the bombers was disguised in a niqab. The Interior Ministry denied this and said the mastermind of the bombings blew himself up on Tuesday to evade capture.

5. MPs talk LGBT rights at the PinkNews Westminster summer reception

[…] Baroness Susan Williams, the Conservative equalities minister, called for a ban on gay conversion therapy.

“We will bring forward a consultation on ending the practice of so-called conversion therapy,” Williams said.

 

“I will not pretend this work will be easy, there are likely to be difficult conversations to come but we must have them.

Williams also paid tribute to Marsha P. Johnson in her speech, acknowledging the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots that were lead by black trans women. […]

 

In a fiery speech, Thornberry went on to say, “We must demand Commonwealth countries abolish draconian laws [punishing LGBT+ people] or be expelled, and let’s start with Brunei.”

(One might agree that Brunei’s policy of murdering people for their sexual proclivities is repugnant and should be met with the harshest possible diplomatic approach. But the spectre of false equivalence in terms of things like “trans-rights” is not a car that should be hooked to that engine.)

6. Heavy Fighting Erupts Between Indian, Pakistani Forces in Kashmir Region – Reports

Heavy firing exchanges were reported on Friday between Indian and Pakistani forces on the so-called Line of Control (LoC) in the disputed Jammu and Kashmir region, local media reported.

 

Indian Defence Ministry spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Devender Anand told the IANS news agency that Pakistani troops had violated the ceasefire with mortar shelling in the LoC area at about 21:00 p.m local time on Friday.

 

According to the ANI news agency, the ceasefire violation occurred in the Nowshera Sector of the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistani forces reportedly started firing with small arms followed by mortar shelling along the LoC. There have been no reports on damage or casualties. 

The Pakistani military has not issued a statement regarding the incident.

 

Meanwhile, the IANS news agency said that fire exchange along the LoC is continuing.

  1. 1) People are choosing their sides in the civil war that is rapidly moving from vocal to kinetic, things are going to get very nasty before the 2020 election is held. After Trump wins a second term the left is going to really loose the their minds.

    6) This has the possibility of turning very nasty, both nations have nukes and there is always the possibility that they will be used. If they are used India may well decide that they can either use all of their nukes by launching half at China or loose them to Paki nukes.

    • If they are used India may well decide that they can either use all of their nukes by launching half at China or loose them to Paki nukes.

      There is much in the way of similar speculation about Israel’s use of the Samson Option. Some hold that Moscow (especially, and) or Paris might find themselves recipients of last-minute “thank you notes” from besieged Jews enraged by the constant pro-Islamic perfidy of those treacherous bastards.

      • I have heard the speculation that they are saving a few nukes for some of the European Capitals that are helping the Arabs in their attempt to recreate the Holocaust. I don’t know if it is the truth or if they are simply trying to scare a few Europeans.

  2. “Baroness Susan Williams, the Conservative equalities minister, called for a ban on gay conversion therapy.”

    “Gay Conversion Therapy” does not exist. Whereas Reparation Therapy does. It is the “psychotherapy aimed at changing a person’s homosexuality and based on the view that homosexuality is a mental disorder.”

    The mentally ill getting their sociopathic moms to defend them. Mental illness begets mental illness. The child indoctrinated by the trinity of islam, Socialism and Queenetta is by the Conversion Therapy of Submission.

    Reparation Therapy is a Unconversion Therapy. Unsubmission.

    Like actual Christianity. A path to liberty. Finding and freeing those tormented by their demons. Ask and you will receive.

    Same sex attraction. Where in nature did you deviate? Find the source of that embedded compulsion, the thorns balmed by Pride, and the triggers will then have no more power to manipulate and recruit another clone. Death will no longer be seen as life.

    Now, the reptilian brain programmed so early-on in childhood, reinforced by the mammilian brain of Socialist mothers, to the intellectual brain submitted to Allah’s Will has the hero’s journey of repentence, 40 days and nights going cold turkey to seek the resonnance of a minute signal discharge of a traumatic memory buried so deep and locked away for approval to survive. To face your demon and be released. Real courage.

    This, Baroness Susan Williams calls evil. These are most your politicians: Narcissists. To rule the helpless.

    • “Amazon, the world’s largest bookseller, has just announced that it has yielded to complaints from gay activists and will stop selling Dr. Nicolosi’s books because they do not meet “content guidelines.” Presumably, they are considered “hate speech.”

    • “Fathers and Sons
      Homosexuality is a developmental problem that is almost always the result of problems in family relations, particularly between father and son. As a result of failure with father, the boy does not fully internalize male gender-identity, and develops homosexuality. This is the most commonly seen clinical model. – Joseph Nicolosi, Reparative Therapy of Male Homosexuality, 1991

      Child Abuse and Lesbianism
      There are special needs that little girls have that make them unique. When those needs are denied, ignored, or exploited, the future womanhood of that child is in jeopardy.

      Just how are those needs denied, ignored, or exploited? Through abuse….Abuse can be overt, as in physical or sexual abuse, or it may be more subtle. Of course, its more subtle versions wouldn’t legally qualify as child abuse, but they are forms of abuse nonetheless, and they have far-reaching consequences. One of those consequences is a distorted sexual identity. I have seen, time and again, clear connections between early abuse and confusion in sexuality. And I cannot ignore the histories of the many women I’ve known who have survived one form of abuse or another and are also attracted to other women. Although abuse by itself does not cause lesbianism, it can certainly be found in the background of may lesbian women and has in many cases been a contributing factor to their orientation. – Carol Ahrens in Desires in Conflict, 1991″

      We may discuss freely, we may guide, but without the hero’s journey: repentance, going out and meditating in the wilderness to face the memories of your abusers – and your curses to take back – you will never be free but latch on to The Good Teacher. Copying as a New-Self, and every child knowing you are a fake, a convert, who will once again convert on any tough road.

      A well-meant meditation excercise technique that I had used for my own therapy, (without using the background chatter preamble; that though may be culturally and religiously meaningful for some), to not find god or nirvannah, but find the truth about my inner resonnance, that being-still, without the noise and haste of daily life, permitted me to see deep inside, to listen, and find the generator of those thoughts-out-from-images that were alarms of survival that not turned off from childhood. In there, was my unique discovery, and not someone else’s suggestion of a false-memory implant; of other’s fears and superstitions becoming your own. Their demons of religion blocking you from ever getting an audience to see your original master.

      From this realization ‘in the moment of truth,’ after months of brief meditation getting deep and deeper meeting graciously each superficial alarm with acknowledgement, I found my source. My father. I had always made sure therefore, no father was in me. A complete rejection. I functioned with half a brain.

      With that terrible realization I
      was lucky and yet terrified to then know I must physically face my abuser. To know that if he killed me I did not care.

      Confessing my actions – for my my reasons and apologizing as it has shaped my whole life. I had no right to judge. At that very moment he just vanished, another person appeared in front of me. (Like when the lions figure out their circus trainer is just a wimp for more applause or a phamtom limb syndrome person meets their agonizing arm in a mirror to see it is just an arm).

      He did not know what he had done was evil, he was still running away and fighting his own abusers and triggered by children as a threat to his Religion of Peace.

      Gone were my triggers, and released from any other manipulative authority to have a purchase upon my soul. I could have had a gooey hug, or Rome gone mad at losing slaves encounter and then made up to a new bondmanship between us. I had no desire for mutual destruction. We were separated for life. My master was my own concience, and non-negogiable. That is what friends are. And being his friend, he has at least shared some light on exposing some painful layers in the orphanage he was abandoned into. The Freemasons’ Oath being the Brotherhood he has not let go.

      So, if the truth, and nothing but the truth is what you want to set you free, brave meditation. But remember the Collective you joined is watching and so going out into the wilderness won’t get you stoned to death. Feel the fear and find it’s source so you may bring it into the open. You will then get to lose that belief in your worthlessness that they had given you – that they too had been given – by the ultimate slave-masters who offered subservience for a status amongst the prisoners.

      For the Zen Buddhist, to train the mind of their students to let go of Beliefs of Identity, (such as men masturbating with men), they train with koans:

      This study of brain-hemisphere supression, has looked at how monobrains deal with understanding whatever is presented to them:
      “Under left hemisphere suppression empirical answers became more ex-
      tended and more detailed. The subjects tried to tell everything they knew
      about the given topic. Persistent attempts to elucidate and specify as many realities as possible connected with the syllogism contents also characterized this state.”

      • In vain Toyo meditated to hear the sound of one hand. He heard the sighing of the wind. But the sound was rejected.

        He heard the cry of an owl. This also was refused.

        The sound of one hand was not the locusts.

        For more than ten times Toyo visited Mokurai with different sounds. All were wrong. For almost a year he pondered what the sound of one hand might be.

        At last little Toyo entered true meditation and transcended all sounds. “I could collect no more,” he explained later, “so I reached the soundless sound.”

        Toyo had realized the sound of one hand.NOTE: – It is CRUCIAL to comprehend that the Buddhist concept of “nothingness” (e.g., “soundless sound”) DOES NOT mean a void, corporeal nonexistence or vacuum.

        Quite the opposite, it refers to eliminating the artificial boundaries which we use (however wisely or idiotically) to ordinarily define and discern our surrounding universe.

        If quantum chromo-dynamics has proven anything, it’s that our cosmos interconnects in ways beyond all human imagination, even at a distance of light years. Recent research into optical gates which release simultaneously (but separately) emitted photons show they can be distanced by parsecs from their twins yet still will exhibit quantum entanglement.

        This remote-sensing represents, “work performed at a distance”, which, even according to Einstein, is supposed to be impossible.

        Increasingly, it seems as though there might emerge that universal Hindu Monad: A point which is in tangential (but dimensionally physical) contact with all other points in the cosmos. That “reverse black hole”—white hole?—singularity just might embody Zen “nothingness” (i.e., no “things”) rather perfectly, even as many would just as soon call it godhead, Lord, Ra, or the name of any eleventy-ten other supreme deities. –

        Man cannot make a worm, yet he will make gods by the dozen.

        — Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)

        To gain an idea of the dense layers of meaning woven into these Zen koans, here is a more detailed text from another source: (https://www.tlayt.org/ashikaga-takaujis-izo-son-koan-59/)

        No. 59. Ashikaga Takauji’s ]izo-Son

        (Translator’s note: This story depends on a sort of play on a Chinese character of twelve strokes, which means ‘honoured’ or ‘revered’. It is the first element of the name Taka-uji, the general who founded the Ashikaga shogunate, after a spectacular betrayal of trust of a kind not uncommon in Japanese mediaeval history. The same character is added to the name ofjizd, bodhisattva of protection, in which case it is read ‘Son’, and not ‘Taka’. It is similarly added to the word for ‘protective charm’ (mamori). In order to retain the effect of the story, I am rendering the Ashikaga general’s name as Ashikaga-Son, to keep the assonance with Jizo-Son.)

        At Jomyoji temple in Kamakura, there was a picture of Jizo-son by the brush of Ashikaga-Son himself. General Ashikaga Mochiuji (of the same family, later governor of the Eastern Provinces) wanted to have this as a protective charm (mamori-Son) with his armour, and asked priest Daizui whether he could have the loan of it.

        The priest said loudly: ‘General!’

        ‘Yes?’ he replied.

        ‘Who is it that has just said Yes? Jizo-Son is there, and must not go seeking from others.’ The nobleman understood.

        TESTS

        Priest Mitsudo of Hokokuji temple tested the samurai Ota with the questions:

        • Where does Jizo-Son go back to?

        • What was it that the general understood?

        Mitsudo tested Masuda Moto-o:

        • When Ashikaga-Son paints Jizo-Son, does Ashikaga become Jizo, or Jizo become Ashikaga? Say!

        He tested general Hosokawa:

        • When they hold up the picture of Jizo-Son by the brush of Ashikaga-Son himself, if you name it Jizo, well, it is Ashikaga; and if you name it Ashikaga, why it- is Jizo. Then what will you do to give this a name? Say!

        He tested Gendazaemon Michinaga:

        • The governor of the Eastern Provinces, in the 23rd year of Oei (1416), asked to borrow the Jizo-Son painted by Ashikaga-Son himself, to have as a charm-Son in his camp. Now say, what result is there from having Jizo-Son in the camp?

        This became a Kamakura Zen koan at the interviews of Mitsudo (who was abbot at both Jomyoji and Hokokuji temples).

        To close, here is, “The Story of the Strawberry”. It is a favorite of mine from the Reps edition:

        Zen students are with their masters at least ten years before they presume to teach others. Nan-in was visited by Tenno, who, having passed his apprenticeship, had become a teacher. The day happened to be rainy, so Tenno wore wooden clogs and carried an umbrella. After greeting him Nan-in remarked: “I suppose you left your wooden clogs in the vestibule. I want to know if your umbrella is on the right or left side of the clogs.”

        Tenno, confused, had no instant answer. He realized that he was unable to carry his Zen every minute. He became Nan-in’s pupil, and he studied six more years to accomplish his every-minute Zen.

        No one can say that these gurus didn’t have their own sense of humor. One classic response to glimmers of awareness upon the part of a pupil (i.e., that “Aha!” moment) was to promptly brain the kid with his parasol so the acolyte would never forget that moment.

        Those who familiarize themselves with this unique jewel of Eastern thought eventually realize that this entire meghilla is a cosmic joke book for the Zen Masters.

        • “In vain Toyo meditated to hear the sound of one hand”

          The purpose of meditation is to
          listen to your two minds speaking to you, with their respective words and images for hearing a deeper unconscious language. To patiently observe. To release their minds from the bondage of confusion. Then, you can see what you did not see before.

          Pride and resentment blinds to bias.

          Meditation therefore, is not to be used as as a problem solving device, but a measure of how clear your mind is.

          You do not meditate on solving puzzles while sneakily trying to beg gods or summon saints to guide you. All you will have is one template laid over another.

          You meditate on your minds to a point you are able to see the puzzle immediately when given anew.

          For a student to worry and tease out from a given message for an answer, is to have dwelt on the solution that fits.

          Rather, it is what our brains are made for: ‘what is wrong with this?’

          “Toyo had realized the sound of one hand”.

          I reached the soundless sound.”

          This answer for Gweilo to applaud.

          That only conclusion of an exhausted left-brain, staring at a candle-flame to inert the right-brain lobe.
          Coming back with the logical conclusion of a willing-slave who will look-alike, sound-alike, and male-female shaved head alike. The medicine (which is poison to be able to heal), becomes the drug of choice. No one leaves the walled temple.

          For if he had come back and said:

          “Every hand has an infintite propensity for sound. Even through air and outer space. That is what movement is.”
          He would be banished.

          muslims, Socialists and Bacteria. The sexual enlavement of thought. Their masters know that. And they are Good.

        • So it is like a Zen Buddhist explaining what a Buddhist is as a Paulian explaining what a Christian is: they wear their medicines.
