U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- “A scorpion, which cannot swim, asks a frog to carry it across a river on the frog’s back. The frog hesitates, afraid of being stung by the scorpion, but the scorpion argues that if it did that, they would both drown. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung the frog despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: “ ‘I couldn’t help it. It’s in my nature.’” The fable of the Scorpion and the Frog as posted in Wikipedia. A rendition of this fable, as delivered by the character played by the actor, Forest Whitaker, appeared in the 1992 thriller, the Crying Game that also starred Stephen Rea.
Americans have been carrying a scorpion on their back for decades but many do not know this. And, what is this scorpion? It is an amorphous collection of diabolical, amoral, ruthless, powerful interests bent on destroying the very fabric of our Nation: a free Constitutional Republic. These ruthless elements, adherents of the ideology of Collectivism, loathe the idea that in, our Nation, the American people are sovereign, not Government. The Collectivists routinely ignore the fact that the sovereignty of the American people is etched in stone—etched in that critical part of the U.S. Constitution referred to as the Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights is a codification of fundamental, immutable, unalienable rights that exist intrinsically in each American. These rights cannot be lawfully modified, ignored, or abrogated; ever. That some rights exist in man, beyond the lawful power of the State to modify, ignore, or abrogate, is repugnant to the Collectivists and always has been. They deem the American citizenry as pawns of the State. But, as long as our Constitution survives intact, the Collectivists cannot modify, ignore, or abrogate our fundamental rights. So, they are attempting to regulate those fundamental rights out of existence and to replace them with others: such as the fundamental right of a pregnant woman to murder her own child. See article on abortion posted in the Arbalest Quarrel on July 4, 2019.
While the nation-state still held a measure of utility to the Collectivists, decades ago, they stood back, patiently awaiting the day when they could proclaim the U.S. Constitution—the backbone of our nation-state—to be archaic, obsolete. Now these ruthless interests feel the very concept of ‘nation-state’ no longer has utility. So, these Collectivists are not standing back any longer. They are attacking the concept of the nation-state head-on. The U.S. Constitution that Collectivists claim to be a “living” Constitution—and by the term, ‘living’ Constitution they mean a Constitution subject to change in accordance with a changing world—is actually a “dead” Constitution; namely, a Constitution that has no further use in a one-world Collectivist State, in which vast populations are controlled and subjugated by a small ruling elite.
This scorpion on our back—the Collectivists comprising the Democrat Party Leadership along with other smug, sanctimonious Radical Left and New wave Progressive Left elements, pockmarked and permeating through business, government, academia, the entertainment establishment, and the Press—has been spreading their noxious, deadly poison for decades. Many Americans, perhaps most, haven’t been keenly aware of this because the insidious effort to overthrow of a free Constitutional Republic has, heretofore, taken place systematically, and quietly in the shadows; but, no longer, and the effects of the disassembling of a free Constitutional Republic is plain.
Americans have seen the erosion of their First Amendment freedom of speech and freedom of religion. They have seen more and more brazen attempts to weaken the Second Amendment right of the people to keep and bear arms to the point where exercise of it would be reduced to a nullity—this in spite of U.S. Supreme Court rulings in Heller and McDonald. They have seen the erosion of our fundamental Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures as the surveillance State engages in the unconstitutional act of profiling every citizen and obtaining every iota of data on that citizen. Americans have seen a once mighty manufacturing base gutted and sent packing to China, along with the Nation’s technology, and our money. Americans have seen the Government waste trillions of dollars on foreign intrigues and escapades that serve to weaken our Nation’s security, rather than strengthening it. Americans have seen the Nation’s Southern border opened up to criminal cartels and to waves of discontented flotsam from other Countries whose governments are all too happy to rid themselves of the carrion that feeds on our own Government largess, only to leave our own people destitute. Americans have seen the Federal— really “Private”—Reserve engaging in unconventional monetary policies, doing what exactly? Operating for the benefit of average Americans or operating solely for the benefit of its own member banks and for multinational corporations, housed both here and abroad; leaving the Nation gutted of its wealth; laden with more and more debt.
Like a scorpion, the dangerous, ruthless forces here at home, that would crush our Nation and our people into submission as they thrust their vision of the world on all of us, seem oblivious to just how pernicious and damaging their Collectivist vision is for both our Country and our people. Either these abjectly ruthless forces are oblivious to the dangers they would dare inflict on our Nation and our people, or they simply don’t care.
The Collectivist Vision And The Threat Of Globalization
The impact of the Chinese Coronavirus on our people and our economy is horrific, but even as it devastates our Nation, the Collectivists in the Press and in Congress seek to use this pandemic to their advantage, against the President and, by extension, against the American people. Even as our economy suffers and as our people suffer, and as a seditious Press continues an unrelenting, remorseless attack on President Trump at the behest of the ruthless Collectivists, with whom the Press is in league, these Collectivists must realize that Americans are seeing the negative consequences of Globalization in a way they have never seen before. The viral pandemic is not, then, something that the Collectivists can effectively use to force their bizarre vision on our Country. The pandemic has demonstrated the danger of relying on other Nations to provide for our economic needs.
If our Nation’s medicines and medical equipment, and medical apparel were solely manufactured at home, as once was the case a half-century ago—before the vast majority of our manufacturing was handed over to Asia, particularly to China—China would not be able to threaten our healthcare system, as it is now. Breitbart reports:
“China could effectively shut down America’s healthcare system within months given the one-party state’s ‘global chokehold’ on the manufacturing of medicines and medical supplies, explained Rosemary Gibson, author of China Rx: Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine.”
It is ironic that China, the Nation that bears sole responsibility for unleashing this virus on our Nation and on the rest of the world, whether wittingly or not, could and would dare to choke the lifeblood out of us by denying us vital medicines and medical supplies. Such is the result of Globalization and our dependency on other Nations, even our enemies, to supply us with our basic needs.
We see that the instrumentality of ‘Globalization’ is vital to the realization of the Collectivist vision of a one-world government; heralding, indeed hastening, the end of independent, sovereign nation-states that have lost their self-reliance and resiliency precisely because of Globalization.
The website Investopedia, defines the word, thus:
“Globalization is the spread of products, technology, information, and jobs across national borders and cultures. In economic terms, it describes an interdependence of nations around the globe fostered through free trade.”
But Globalization involves something much more devious and insidious: the restructuring of the entirety of the social, political, economic, educational, legal, and cultural domain in which man lives.
An essayist, enamoured with globalization, posted an article in the Living Economies Forum, titled, “Globalization as a Natural Evolutionary Process.” The writer begins her essay with this:
“Globalization, from the perspective of an evolution biologist, is the natural, inevitable, and even desirable process by which humanity matures as a species, shifting from the competitive, acquisitive mode of a juvenile species to the cooperative, sharing mode of a mature species.
In any case, globalization is already well on its way and is not a reversible process. Some aspects of it beautifully demonstrate our ability to cooperate.”
Globalization is one of a handful of implements in the Collectivists’ toolkit they have utilized to engineer the destruction of independent nation-states, including our own. The phenomenon of globalization has become ubiquitous and may very well be impossible to curtail. Collectivists intend for globalization to usher in the New World Order. But, with a world-wide viral plague upon us, the inherent complexity, unwieldiness, and attendant deficiencies of globalization have been illuminated. Because of the viral pandemic, nations now realize they must regain and thenceforth retain economic self-sufficiency that globalization has harmed. So, even as the economic health of our Nation and that of other Western Nations has deteriorated, the realization that each Nation must once again relearn self-reliance and self-sufficiency may secure the survival of independent sovereign nation-states; much to the chagrin of the Collectivists.
In hindsight, then, the assertion that globalization is “natural, inevitable and, even desirable,” must invite incredulity and skepticism, not enthusiasm and trust, for Globalization is really none of those things.
Globalization is an artificial construct, not a biological necessity. It isn’t inevitable; and, while it may be desirable to some, i.e., a few wealthy, powerful trans-nationalist Collectivists who envision a one-world government that they alone preside over, such an eventuality would be a veritable Hell for everyone else.

The Democrats, aka Commie Rat Bastards, are, and have been in cahoots with China for years. Biden, and his siblings, and children have long benefited from the generosity of the communist government for years, and my guess is that other Democratic politicians along with some Republicans are involved with the Chinese as well. All that is needed is to follow the money.
The Democratic-Socialist Party views the Constitution, the Bill Of Rights, the Supreme Court, and the Electoral College as obstacles to advancing their ideology driven agenda to create chaos/seize power. “Democratic Governor Phil Murphy admitted Wednesday that he ignored citizens’ constitutional rights when signing off on an executive order.” Tucker Carlson: “The Bill of Rights as you well know protects Americans’ right, enshrines their right to practice their religion as they see fit and to congregate together to assemble peacefully. By what authority did you nullify the Bill of Rights in issuing this order?” Governor Phil Murphy: ““That’s above my pay… Read more »
Instead of banning everything American,why not ban something very un American,the Commicrat party as is is antithetical to the Constitution and the Republic.
It is time to end the social/democratic/communist Cabal in all 50 States…
Sorry Folks but I don’t much care for the right or the left. I have been that way since I had a draft # of 252 to Nam, and I got the right to vote and drink 3.2 Beer legally in SD that same year. I have been shooting for over 55 years, and The NRA Attracked me into the shooting sports when I was 12. Yet I have never voted a straight ticket in 50 years of voting as I vote for the person or the issue and never for a party or gang as I call em. The… Read more »
I just want to thank my sixth grade teacher. This was 1966-67 in Fairbanks, Ak. He had us study Communism from Karl Marx to what was happening in 1966. And it was a deep dive into it. I tracked him down last year or maybe it was the year before. He said that after that school year he entered the Army and flew Huey’s in Vietnam for two tours. He then came back to Fairbanks and taught school again until he retired and moved to Arizona. So he put his money where his heart was. That didn’t surprise me one… Read more »
I don’t usually but I posted this essay on F/B. I hope I’m not out of line here ,I thought it is something to SHARE.
People will vote how they decide, not how others want to dictate. Whether or not that is for trump, a third party, or staying home is up to them.
Then again, there are those who melt at the thought of people exercising their right to association and conscience that way. 🙂
A Government teacher relates the following after one of the recent Democratic Presidential Debates: I sat through the whole democratic debate tonight. I wasn’t sure I could do it but I assigned it to my government class so I knew I had to watch. Here is something to think about… Reminder of what Khrushchev said 60 years ago….”Your children’s children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright; but, we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not… Read more »
Well, We had someone here today who wanted to discuss some ideas behind socialism, but more that he is a gun aficionado and it should be a unifying thing. The subject of the definition of Socialism came up, so I’d like to put the Definition here. A quick Search turned this up. SOCIALISM Noun 1. a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole. 2. policy or practice based on the political and economic theory of socialism. 3. (in Marxist… Read more »
