Preamble

:
: When attempting to digest output from popular media(especially Opinion columns by"TheConsensus"), It is helpful to recall the warning issued by the Uncle of Umberto Eco's young/naive/idealistic protagonist in "Foucault'sPendulum:"
" "Always remember my [esteemed] nephew that media/newspaper entities,
do what they do in order to make money not(despite appearances/and their righteous claims to the contrary["The public has a right to be informed.etc"])
to improve our lot on the 3rdPlanetOfSol. No offence intended towards our esteemed Neoconservative(i.e.profit- motive driven) sisters/brothers, such as 'MikieG,' 'GeorgeW,'and'CharlesK.'
It is also helpful to recall LeCarre's("Tinker,Sailor,Soldier,Spy") co-protagonist's(Jim Prideaux's) rum/strange name for the Pundit Class:"The juju men,"
--no offence intended toward our esteemed sister 'KathleenP.' [the, gender "men" thing part, that is].
Also helpful is to recall Spiro Agnew's: "Nattering nabobs of negativity,"-- no slight intended towards our esteemed (liberal?) brothers/sisters(like 'EugeneR') who appear to still have a problem "getting over" Nixon.
An unfortunate fact about our reality on The3rdPlanetOfSol(especially in this environment of Narcissistic-Materialism-Marketing
With MediaOutlets of "TheConsensus" operating within the paradigm of "NewsAsEntertainment") is that negativism and bad news appear interesting and generates significant advertising income.Which if not viewed critically through the 'P' of 'PHIC' Mode,does not serve us well.
[See XRef"GoalsObjectivesPledge/PHIC]."
Below we have an application of Snythecism[and its "PHIC Mode" technique) directed towards diverse opinion columns/columnists from the Washington Post(Post),and
other organs of "TheConsensus"over a recent period, and how applying this technique make things just chill. NJoy,
Note of Warning: There appears to be a "StupidBall/WarDrum" circulating within the Editorial Room of the WPost where Pundits take turns running with "StupidBall",or beating "WarDrum"
Others have become(apologies to 'Lenin') our contemporary 'Useful Idiots' in tearing down what remains of CivilSociety

Before starting,It needs to be noted that this theme/movement towards Nihilism/undermining OfCivilSociety both domestically and in other areas of our home[The3rdPlanetOfSol] has been
[ as noted in "AttackUponSustainableCivilSociety/***AnglesOfAttack***] has been taking place over a very long period of time.
Future Historians may well conclude that the pushback against this foolishness[and the start(of WesternComponent of) , manifestation of"Khrushchev's[Mystic ] "Biderectional Arrow"[XRef "Marching On"-]

and, resistance toward nihilism/chaos,
(XRef,AlsoSee "Discourses9*****Cicero'sBalanceProblem*********)the 'GIBear' recalls an incident/fallout/reaction to what occured in Singapore
during the Clinton Presidency regarding a delinquent American youth['xxxxxx' or 'youngBlast'] who decided to spray paint
randomly,was arrested and was given a buss-ass(caned) for his troubles.
Many elements of "TheConsensus" raised firestorms of protest.
Expressing shock at the "barbarity" of those "savage" orientals for the wicked punishment given."How daah those backward,savage, orientals treat our deah daahlin little johnnie so terribly?!"
Two rum things about this incident and reaction were:
- Application of the cane as a means of punishment was ,in fact, a British Imperial legacy, and
- Most citizens of the USA applauded the action by the Singapore Authorities,and in fact wished that more of that stuff was applied here within the USA!
possibly sparing us gratuitous Art displays on New York's Subway cars.
This is/was the beginning of the end of " TheConsensus' " smug ("AnythingGoes") cultural leadership in the West,
that the USA bestows upon the 3rdPlanetOfSol.
It had not(and probably has still has not) dawned upon the consciousness of "TheConsensus" that order,values,aversion to Nihilism/Anarchy,
are essential to preservation of Civil Society,peace,and happiness.
And indeed that "Pursuit of hapiness," much less,peace comfort, and joy, can only occur within a peaceful,ordered Societal Superstructure.

*START*********JusticeTheDeathPenaltyHumanityAndSustainableCivilSociety**********


The incompetent execution of 'Clayton' in Oklahoma generated some interesting emotional reactions from "TheConsensus"
And with reference to "AttackUponSustainableCivilSociety," and
**Cisero'sBalanceProblem."leads to wider meditations regarding morality,leadership,and about what are we [The USA] about here?
and What "Leadership" are we offering The3rdPlanetOfSol?
= = = = KathleenParker, WashPostWed05062014:-"The Death Penalty condemms us all." Very disappointing.The 'GIBear' must confess here 'MikieG,' that upon reading piece,so serious was risk of dropping out of "PHIC mode" that in desperation
'GIBear' had to resort to [XRefLINK to "FavStoriesOfTheGIBear*LoneRangerAndTonto*" ], in order to regain correct perspective.
'KathleenP' when you say "us," who do you exactly have in mind?
-The Framers/Writers of the Constitution of the USA?
- The people/lawmakers/law enforcement officers of Oklahoma?
- The people/lawmakers/government of the USA?
- All our forebears who sacrificed lives/limbs suffered pain agony death,
to establish/maintain Civil Society?So that you could in the comfort/security,of your veranda
enjoy ice tea and run with "stupid?Must be nice....
-Sounds like a sister had a fear uncertainty and doubt[FUD] attack;went on a guilt trip,
fell out of PHIC Mode and is condemming herself!
And what is so wrong about 'Dirty Harry' qnyways(apart from adding ketchup to his Hot Dog & losing track of bullets fired from Service Revolver)? Punk!
This appears to be a particularly contagious/virulent form of "Stupid," capable of affecting one whose columns are usually so staid,level-headed,sensible,and sometimes even witty.
not a word/empathy about the victim/loved ones of the target of Clayton's horrible murder,really?
Since when do we allow compassion/mercy? to morph into anarchism/ nihilism? And,pray what about the integrity maintenance of Civil Society?
= = = = = = = = = =
EugeneRobinsonWashPost05012014:- "There is no humane way to carry out the death penalty"
[or his Column Headline as paraphrased by the 'GIBear'"Why don't we just tap murderers on the wrist then let them go."
A juicy tidbit:
"Put simply, when we murder we become murderers." really!?rubbish.
Put even more simply:
The application of Capital Punishment after Due Process as sanction for Murder is Justice(as far as Sapien-- given our limitations--can achieve it).
And, true, sometimes mistakes are made,we[Sapien] do not have perfect knowledge, thus we cannot operate
or, apply perfect justice"
XRef "Discourses******TheGreatWisdome[#8]*DoNotMakeThePerfect....****"
Therefore,correct the 'GIBear' if this thesis is wrong 'EugeneR,' The logical conclusion(from what you are claiming) is that we should violate GreatWisdom#8"Do not make the perfect the enemy of the good."
And furthermore, remove the primary purpose of Government,[and why stop only at murders,why not all crime?)-- To objectively apply,as best we can, Justice by removing this from the hands/will of the individual/family/group
Consider(in an environment where the ratio of firearms to people is approx;2:3; and meditate upon "Discourses**Cicero'sBalanceProblem********"
What would happen if each individual/family/group concluded that Government is not dispensing correct justice,and decided to impose their own system of justice
The rapid escalating cycle of Nihilism,violence,chaos that would occur
'EugeneR.' Seriously,Why don't we just save time, throw the "Social Contract" out the window, pull out our animal skin clothing, wooden spears,stone axes,and find the nearest cave?
= = = = = = = = = = = =
Such was the 'Clayton' effect on the emotion(and confused thinking) of the "Left?" that months later ("TRMS:MSNBCMarch->April2017")
'RachelM' in stating a case for the rejection of Scott Pruitt for head of the EPA,expended an inordinate amount of mystic energy stating Pruitt's unworthiness for position
basing her case on Pruitt's responsibility for wrong drug being injected,instead of a more logical case based upon Pruitt's unfitness for position based on his disregard for the cleanliness/health of our home.
Clasic case of Right action for WRONG reason!
= = = =

***************ThereIsNoCoverFromTheRightEither************** 'MikieG.' Nor is the attack upon [pillars] of SustainableCivilSociety only from the LiberalLeft(Bleeding Hearts?),
but there is no support from erstwhile "Conservatives" either. When recently (painfully)digesting George Will's
GrandForksHerald.com:May22,2015"Capital punishment's slow but sure death."Republished in Post:05202015)
On reading Will's Opinion piece the 'GIBear' found self immersed in what seemed(not a compliment!) like a Shakespearean play:
'GWill' negates the primary purpose of Government( maintenance of SustainableCivilSociety) to a contrived "Conservative" Principle :

"First, the power to inflict death cloaks government with a majesty and pretence of infallibility discordant with conservatism."


Oh. do go on 'GeorgeW'!
You left out the part about " This sceptered Isle blah blah blah..."
Will's commentary is akin (let's see)to Nixon abandoning the monetary Gold Standard, and
Von Paulus' erstwhile Hungarian(Bulgarian?) allies not only failing to protect the 6th Army flank& confront the Soviet army but instead turning its artillillery pieces on the German Spearhead!
'GeorgeW.' Is all the blood,sweat and tears shed by our forebears to create/develop the USA's CivilSociety A K A Jahovah's childrens' "LastBestHope"
be in vain because of such flimsy defense?
With such pompous nonsense it is not surprising that,after being forced to give up membership of the Republican Party,and on eve of 2016 PresidentialElection
The Sackcloth is broken out and Will bemoans in piece :
Wash Post09Sept282016:"Donald Trump�s rise reflects American conservatism�s decay"
"The ease with which Trump has erased Republican conservatism matches the speed with which Republican leaders have normalized him. For the formerly conservative party, the Founders� principles, although platitudes in the party�s catechism, have become, as former senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan said, �a kind of civic religion, avowed but not constraining.�"
Well. What can one expect ?Most of "easing" has already been done by Republican conservatism'serstwhile intellectual philosophical defenders!
With "Defenders" of Republican Conservatism such as these. The ' TheTrumpster' suborning the GOP was like taking candy from a baby!
= = = = = = But,'MikieG,' let us use a little of the 'P', and'C,' of 'PHIC' here.One vital piece of information(An Ace even!) disclosed by Will in("Capital punishment's slow but sure death,") -- hopefully now part of the consciousness of the Justices Of SCOTUS
Italics courtesy of 'GIBear' (as Identified by the late Justice Scalia) that there is a well established "death penalty abolitionist movement," ( ?spearheaded by "The Consensus"?)
[XRef,See "AttackUponCivilSustainableSocietySociety*****AnglesOfAttack**")
and supported by their "civilized/progressive" European counterparts
One of whose main goals is to exert pressure on Pharmaceutical companies to deny a critical component (drug) of the "drug Cocktail" mixture which is necessary to induce a quick,painless death by lethal injection
There appears to be concern that this "death penalty abolitionist movement," is suborning the Democratic/Justice System of The USA,even!
The rum thing about the incompetent execution of 'Clayton,'is the mystic/odd way in which KarmicJustice(AKA "Devine Retribution") works in Space-Time
Now,no claim is being msde here by the 'GIBear,' that KarmicJustice exists,much less that it is at work here.
But,'EugeneR' Ever heard the one:
"What goes around comes around?"
Like our esteemed sister 'KathleenP,' there is no joy(It is instead very sad)gained in ending the life of a brother or sister much less in the manner in which 'Clayton' went appearing like a fish out of water gasping for air
But one wonders what it must have felt like to be the victim of 'Clayton's' attack:
A female recent high school graduate raped,beaten,shot, then buried alive?(Was there difficulty in obtaining air? amidst the pain?)
If[And this is a BIG "If"] indeed there was "KharmicJustice,"One wonders who/what was its source/dispenser?
= = = = = = = = = An interesting note here to 'GeorgeW' and and 'SCOTUS': The undermining of the Death Penalty,and hence a key pillar of SustainableCivilSociety has been taking place for quite a while: Notwithstanding a consistent Public plurality supporting this form of justice as sanction for this action.
Recall the build up of emotion/prejudice/bias against Hanging;
Then when this "victory" was achieved "TheConsensus" moved to t he next phase;
Gas Chamber then as per: "The Men Who Built America" -- PBS? Documentary
When the first public Electric Chair execution took place(as a backdrop to this demonstration of this new form of energy in the competition
between the[JP Morgan/ Edison Direct Current] VS [Westinghouse/Tesla Alternating Current] Standards
the (then)"Consensus'" mouthpiece -- The New York Times Front- Paged in its Largest Font Print Headline:
"WORSE THAN HANGING"
Then "TheConsensus" went on to undermine.by Electric Chair
Then when Utah finally sorted thru the negative emotional clutted[via The Rifle Squad]
"TheConsensus" rolled out its current
(WhatTrevanian's:"Shibumi" 'General 'Kishikawa' would call) 'Yojimbo'--Mailer
Do we so quickly forget the hysterical negative emotional assault upon CivilSociety invoked by "ExecutionersSong."
Let it not be said that TheConsensus" does not have a System!
Thus it is important to recognize that it is not the method of execution that "TheConsensus" objects to.
When Utah devised the solution,Recall how "TheConsensus"rolled out
their 'Yojimbo'(Mailer: "The Executioner's Song.")
It is,rather, that there exists the Death Penalty, per se.
Note,It does not help that The Bible several times specifically guides us on this issue -- Which may account for the source of the resistance.
'MikieG.' While we are on the issue of violation of GreatWisdom-#8. "Do not make the perfect the enemy of the good."
One of the traps that our normally logical? "SocialJustice" analysts such as 'UGeneR' and 'Toure' fall into
far too easily is: - While they appear to use the 'H' of 'PHIC,'
and appear to agree that we[Sapien] cannot possess perfect knowledge thus we cannot know with certainty, whether the "Death Penalty,"or 'Stop AndFrisk,'or Gun Ownership "
know if these are deterrents:
Q How can one know with certainty how many crimes were never committed because:
- The potential criminal had a second thought that a home owner may have a firearm....that could possibly be pointed in his/her direction and discharged
during the activity; or,
- Having a feeling that there is a good chance that he/she would be stopped,searched,and asked about the reason for possessing a firearm on an evening stroll,
The 'UpToNoGood' decides to pospone, or alter their evening plans
Ans: We cannot know.Because unlike Jahovah,we do not possess perfect knowledge
Yet, these social analysts,with perfect knowledge of the working of the Criminal Mind are adamant,strident, even, in claiming that the 'Death Penalty,' 'Stop and Frisk,'
and Gun Ownership, are not deterrents to criminal activity!
XRefed from:"DailyScan*11182-19*'BloombergStartsOffOnTheBackfoot'*
Misses"SistuhSouljahMoment"
The sapien,or any group of sapiens cannot have perfect knowledge,thus cannot render perfect justice,
however, this does not mean that we should not attempt to organize/maintain Civil Society based upon a good system of justice that is swift,sure and commensurate. At basis of these,and other attacks upon DeathPenalty is a violation of Great Wisdom#8:

The assault continues:
RichardCohenTues05062014:-"A missing voice on executions" Richard has dubious distinction today of running with "stupid;" Richard as one who clarified for me What "Information"really wants:- "A home in the Hamptons"Vs "to be free,"sometimes,I dispair.

So tell me why,should I/or Barack/Holder, spend valuableresources on behalf of folks like Clayton(see my dispatch of Eugene's emotive outburst above).when we could be meditating with Jahovah and making efforts to create Peace,Comfort andJoy onThe3rdPlanetOfSol?

In case there is misunderstanding of Official position,and seriousness, of "TheConsensus's" intent See WasPost Editorial Page of Thursday01052017:
[See also"AuthorityOfTheConsensus" analysis in this "PunditReaction."]
"Even [Mr.['Up On the Roof'] should live."
How quickly we are promoted!
The perpetrator of a terrorist, racist,ideologically-motivated, mass murder, is "Mr." already!
The substanceof Editorial(if this term can be applied to Suppositions/Conjectures, unknown,unknowable,unprovable,speculative Old Saws" jottings:
that "over several decades"[Death Penalty] has been "meted out too often" "without a shadow of doubt" about guilt;
"extremely expensive to administer;"
"resulted in innocent people being sentenced to death;"
"ineffective as no deterrent to crime;" and
"beneath the inherent dignity Americans should ascribe to human life."
Where is the 'H' of'PHIC' here?
As demonstrated elsewhere:
As with the speculation pushed by 'Toure' and Others of "TheConsensus,"not calling you names 'Toure'!
In regards to the issue of "deterrence," regarding "Death Penalty,"
No Sapien,or even a V. large group of Sapien,assisted by the largest possible Supercomputer/Or oyher Tools
can possess perfect/total knowledge.
Non the less, we should not let the perfect be the enemy of the good,and violate Great Wisdom #8
Again Q? where is the 'H' of 'PHIC'?
As pointed out in "Attack"?
We(Sapien) were given specific guidance by Jahovah regarding the penalty for Murder in The Bible,
It seems that some of us believe we know better that Jahovah!
Let us not forget that:
" Fear of Jahovah is the beginning of Wisdom.
Locate GWills speil add below to it. The rum thing about the 'Clayton' botched execution is that it is the same liberals and their"civilized"European counterparts, who caused Clayton his problem:

The Assault Continues:
AuthorityOfTheConsensus
Sometimes "TheConsensus"gets serious and invokes Authority to buttress Worldview
*TheAuthority'L Tribe' is invoked*"
Editorial Page of Wash PostFri11022017:
The Supreme Court should strike down the death penalty"by Lawrence H Tribe
Wash PostThe Supreme Court should strike down the death penalty"by Lawrence H Tribe-----> November 2, 2017
The Credential of "Authority" is documented for 'TheProles':
"Laurence H. Tribe is the Carl M. Loeb University Professor and professor of Constitutional Law at Harvard University."
NoLess! and republished in "The Salt Lake Tribune."
With a ""PlayVideo" button,
so as to not spare grisly details? perhaps? Nice touch! Again we see violation of GreatWisdom #8 within the context of nitpicking
the imperfect application(in Arizona) of what should never have been Splitting of hairs
regarding narrowing the death penalty for application to "the worst of the worst."
Interesting how "TheConsensus"calls upon these "sources of Authority,"
But ignores the Highest,Sovereign, Authority in SpaceTime Jahovah.
The Bible does not split hairs, and states very early in Genesis 9:6:
"...for the [Mental/Mystic]imageof [Jahovah]
made he [Sapien]."
Which apart from stating unequivocally what is the just penalty, for Murder
is telling us that Mind[the+VEMystic ] should be respected/regarded/defenfed/preserved.
However our eminent Jurist reads into the Eight Amendment "[a]requirement that Death penalty
should not be appplied arbitrarily"
And extends this to a thesis that We should not have a Death Penalty!"
WHEN the Eight Amendment makes no such requirement!
But provides a guideline that:
If a Citizen of our Republic is found guilty of murder after Due Process and
the judgement/penalty of death is dispensed
The State should not implement this penalty in a cruel, or unusual way.
It is not surprising that eminent jurist is picked up in "DailyScan"
issuing dodgy Political advise that embarreses the Leadership of the Democratic Party.
