DEMOCRATS: WE ARE THE FASCISTS WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

NINE PLANETS WHICH MIGHT SUPPORT HUMAN LIFE

DuneAs regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog know, I’ve always been a Dune guy and prefer the universe of that book series to either Star Trek or Star Wars, both of which franchises owe a lot to Dune (1965). 

With the latest (likely) screwup of Frank Herbert’s possibly unfilmable novel coming up soon here’s another Dune-related topic. Herbert’s original tale is set around 20,000 years in the future (10,191 years after the establishment of the Guild System). By that time period humans have colonized plenty of Earth-like planets, so the recent discovery of exo-planets which MIGHT be habitable for humans can’t help but intrigue the Dune Fan in all of us.

DEMOCRATS: THE COMBINED NAZIS AND MAFIA OF TODAY

Democrat riots again

Democrat rat

       DEMOCRAT PARTY

With more and more evidence of mail-in vote fraud techniques mounting & mounting and with Senile Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden’s dealings and alleged influence peddling being referred for criminal inquiry, Democrats have responded in the only way they know how – with violence, rioting, and with gunning down & mobbing police. More riots are sweeping the nation egged on by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and the rest of the Democrats.

If Democrats don’t like the way an election turns out, they will spend 4 years refusing to accept the results. If Democrats don’t like the results of a Grand Jury, they will riot and burn and lie and kill. If Democrats don’t like a potential appointee to the Supreme Court, they will riot and burn and lie and kill.

So, Democrats are basically threatening the country by saying “If we don’t like the results of the election this year expect more of this.” In fact, reasonable people can’t help but ask:

Kenosha democrat riotWILL DEMOCRATS CONJURE UP AN EXCUSE TO LAUNCH RIOTS IN CLOSELY-CONTESTED OR TRUMP-FRIENDLY VOTING PRECINCTS TO PREVENT VOTERS FROM HAVING ACCESS TO THE POLLS ON ELECTION DAY? We’ve seen how quickly they whip up their fascist mobs into a destructive frenzy.

WILL THE DEMOCRATS’ MEDIA OUTLETS POUNCE ON SITUATIONS WHERE, SAY, VOTERS WITH IMPROPER ID ARE TURNED AWAY FROM THE VOTING AREAS AND BLOW THEM OUT OF ALL PROPORTION LIKE THEY DO WITH POLICE SHOOTINGS IN ORDER TO CAUSE RIOTS AND SHUT DOWN THOSE POLLING PLACES?

WILL WE SEE A SITUATION LIKE IN THE 1876 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, AND HAVE MULTIPLE STATES TURNING IN CONTRADICTORY ELECTION RESULTS, PROMPTING A COMMITTEE TO BE APPOINTED TO DECIDE THE ELECTION? In the 1876 results, on an 8 to 7 vote in such a committee, Rutherford B Hayes was declared the winner, though Samuel Tilden in all likelihood was the real winner. (The election could not be sent to the House to decide because of the way multiple states had submitted contradictory election results.)

Stop Democrat ViolenceWILL THE DEMOCRATS EVER AGAIN ACCEPT ANY PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER WHEN THEY LOSE? THEY STILL HAVEN’T ACCEPTED THEIR 2016 LOSS YET Continue reading

THE DEMOCRATS’ WAR ON THE REST OF US: YOUNG RIPPA COURAGEOUSLY CALLS RIOTERS LEFTIST MONSTERS

Stop Democrat ViolenceHere at Balladeer’s Blog I have long discussed the need for Third Parties. For a change of pace from me dealing with that type of thinking here’s a video from YoungRippa59. He too bashes both major parties but recognizes that right now it is definitely the Democrats/ leftists behind the rioting and violence. (That violence will probably increase as the election approaches because the Democrats are determined to muddy the results with their fraud-friendly “vote-by-mail.”)

At any rate, subscribe to YoungRippa59’s YT channel HERE  and for his item RIOTERS: THE MONSTER BUILT BY LEFTISTS see below:

And for more on Democrat atrocities including their 2020 war on the rest of us: 

Democrats, the hate-filled party I’m ashamed to admit I used to belong to before they lost their sanity, continue living up to their new label as “The House Harkonnen of Politics.” For specific examples …

DARRELL SCOTT, MARTIN LUTHER KING PERSON OF COURAGE, SAYS TRUMP HAS “DONE MORE FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT IN MY LIFETIME”

Darrell ScottThat statement from the highly respected Darrell Scott echoes my own sentiments about how de facto Third Party President Donald Trump has done more to help the working class and the poor than any other president of my lifetime. 

A link to the entire article is below but first some excerpts:

“He’s done more for the black community than any other president in my lifetime,” Scott said. “So when he said, ‘What do you have to lose’ he showed us that we didn’t have nothing to lose at all.”

black support for trump“Scott also stated that there is “enthusiasm” for President Trump amongst those located in inner cities. Scott said that he believes Democrats were “egging” on those who took part in several violent riots across America after the death of George Floyd.

Scott listed some of what he considers to be President Trump’s accomplishments for the African-American community:

“He’s exceeded expectations, he has surprised his critics, and he stepped up to the plate with one home run after another, criminal justice reform, prison reform, historic funding for HBCUs, Opportunity Zones, historic low levels of unemployment for blacks. He’s done ceremonial initiatives on behalf of the black community, dedicated Martin Luther King Jr.’s childhood home as a national landmark, he released average and ordinary Americans …” Continue reading

VENUS IN FURS: OPERA VERSION OF THE 1870 NOVEL

VENUS IN FURS: AN OPERA – Here at Balladeer’s Blog I love sharing my enthusiasms. My blog posts where I provide contemporary slants to Ancient Greek Comedies to make them more accessible have been big hits over the years, so I’ve begun trying that approach with operas, too.

Previously I presented how I would handle opera versions of the 1930 science fiction novel Gladiator and of the original 1966 Spaghetti Western Django. This time I’ll deal with Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch’s erotic 1870 novel Venus In Furs in opera format.

VENUS IN FURS

LANGUAGE: French.

SINGERS: A Tenor, a Baritone, a Soprano, 3 Mezzo-Sopranos and 2 Basses

I would present Venus In Furs as a two-act opera. I originally pondered a one-act format but that would have run into the same problem as the Richard Strauss opera Capriccio with the length pretty much dictating an intermission at some point.

Obviously what was daringly explicit in 1870 is just a bit titillating – even silly – here in 2020. I would not treat the story as outright comedy but like a more serious version of battle-of-the-sexes tales like The Taming of the Shrew with elements of Gothic Horror and dark comedy thrown in.

That fluctuation between opera seria and opera buffa would reflect a bit of the approach used in the 1786 opera Prima La Musica E Poi Le Parole. Act One would be a bit light in tone with the real darkness coming in Act Two. 

ACT ONE: A POSH HEALTH RESORT IN THE CARPATHIANS, 1870. Continue reading

AUSTRALIAN NEWS ON JOE BIDEN’S SENILE, INCOHERENT RAMBLINGS

Here’s yet ANOTHER overseas news outlet looking at Senile Joe Biden’s obvious dementia and/or other issues. Here in America, Democrat fascists have been too busy rioting, blocking emergency room access for wounded police officers and informing on their fellow citizens to really pay attention to such things.

Even when Biden’s hopeless condition is brought to their attention their only response is to file complaints demanding that the footage be taken down. Democrats are gonna Democrat I guess.

DEMOCRAT MAYORS ENDORSE TRUMP OVER HIS HELP FOR THE WORKING CLASS

#WalkAwayAs one of the many former Democrats who chose to #WALKAWAY from that increasingly intolerant and violent party to become an Independent Voter, I like to see some current Democrats show some integrity.

Multiple Democrat mayors, most recently several in Minnesota, endorsed de facto Third Party President Donald Trump for reelection. The mayors cited Trump’s tremendous help for the working class and the poor in their endorsements. The link is below, but first some excerpts:

mascot donkey and republican heads“Like many in our region, we have voted for Democrats over many decades. We have watched as our constituents’ jobs left not only the Iron Range, but our country. By putting tariffs on our products and supporting bad trade deals, politicians like Joe Biden did nothing to help the working class. We lost thousands of jobs, and generations of young people have left the Iron Range in order to provide for their families with good-paying jobs elsewhere.

“Today, we don’t recognize the Democratic Party. It has been moved so far to the left it can no longer claim to be advocates of the working class. The hard-working Minnesotans that built their lives and supported their families here on the Range have been abandoned by radical Democrats.

“Yet, four years ago, something wonderful happened. Donald J. Trump was elected President of the United States, and he stood up to China, implemented tax cuts, and fought for the working class. Now, four years later, the Iron Range is roaring back to life and for the first time in a very long time, locals are hopeful because of this President’s policies and willingness to fight for us,” the mayors continued.

“Lifelong politicians like Joe Biden are out of touch with the working class, out of touch with what the country needs, and out of touch with those of us here on the Iron Range and in small towns like ours across our nation.” Continue reading
