the Left will do everything possible to keep power

I have believed for a long time and that the Left will do everything possible to keep power. They will rig the machines so that every vote for Trump will register as for Hillary. They will stop at nothing. The reason is sad and simple. To the Right things like personal responsibility and paying bills matter. That is personal life and morality matters. That is why they are right wing. To the Left only one thing matters: Power. It is deeper and more intense than anything else in their lives. And they will stop at nothing in order to get it.

I had some explanation for this a while back but I forget it. Mainly it is that the Left's two gods are the "State" and Power. The main explanation from what I recall were that the Left's ideology is based on Rousseau. [But it is a ideology that also has elements from Marx, Hegel, Sartre, and ironically enough Nietzsche.] That is to say the Left is not secular. Rather they have endowed the State with all the significance of what God used to mean to people. Nowadays the God himself means little to most people---even believers.  But the State and power means everything.

"Marx, Lenin Sartre, Nietzsche"

Socialism has become a kind of secular religion. It works up a great degree of frenzy in people. Just think of the words "Marx, Lenin Sartre, Nietzsche". You can feel your blood pressure rising. You can just hear people foaming at the mouth spitting saliva as they say these words. Try to do the same think with the two word"John Locke." You can't do it. The words themselves calm you down. You start to think about individual responsibility and  limited government.

For roughly the thousandth time, the masters of social media in Silicon Valley are promising to do something about online hate speech. Bloomberg reports that an impressive-sounding group of tech giants — Facebook, Twitter,Google and Microsoft — have “pledged to tackle online hate speech in less than 24 hours as part of a joint commitment with the European Union to combat the use of social media by terrorists.”

It could be their are just trying to save their company and thus have given in to government pressure. Maybe it is like the Boy-scouts succumbing to pressure? 





But then the Boy Scouts also should have had that ability. Apparently they did not. I have also learned in private life it is a waste of time to stand up to the federal or local government in the USA. Government has just grown too powerful. I have suspected it is a result conspiracy by the KGB. That is I think the KGB concentrated its energies and finances to infiltrate American Universities and succeed so that the later generations of judges and politician all have been educated in the Lenin Marxism tradition.  That is while ordinary working Americans have retained traditional values the elite of government has becomes remarkably leftist. One bit of evidence I have for this is the required courses in American universities for first year students. Just looking over the texts themselves I was shocked at seeing them preach radical leftist socialism. 

 See the ytube video of Bezmenov. I admit to do this the KGB would have had to expend tremendous resources. But from what Bezmenov said it looks like they did.

There is one fellow who is a good friend of mine who thinks the KGB did not have the resources to pull off this kind of operation.  He worked there in one of the sub agencies. And it is hard to know how they could have done so. Still I think the evidence shows their fingerprints all over American universities.
