Even the anti-Trumpers are coming together and saying, “Build The Wall”:
in less than three weeks, we will be here again, with another excruciating dilemma. Do we set up vast tent cities and camps to imprison families indefinitely, or do we simply let these families go free, and hope they show up for a future court date? Either way, we solve nothing fundamental and leave a huge incentive for those trying to enter the U.S. illegally to bring children with them when they do. And that does happen. There is fraud and trafficking and opportunism as well as valid family-based escapes from violence and persecution, and it can be hard to tell one from the other.
As in everything, Trump makes things worse. His rhetoric, his callousness, his wanton lies all make a compromise harder. It’s completely understandable that Democrats do not wish to let him off the hook in any way before November. But there’s a big conflict here if you actually want to end the suffering, or get at the real problem. If you do not want to jail kids with their parents indefinitely, or to maintain the incentive for illegal migrants to bring kids along for the harrowing ride, you need some sort of congressional action and soon…
So give him his fucking wall. He won the election. He is owed this. It may never be completed; it may not work, as hoped. But it is now the only way to reassure a critical mass of Americans that mass immigration is under control, and the only way to make any progress under this president. And until the white working and middle classes are reassured, we will get nowhere.
Notice how he says, “Trump makes everything worse.”
Leftists are rabbits, who want to be told there are no problems so they can shut off their amygdalae and stop being stressed. When low IQ migrants with vastly different ideas of the government’s relationship with the people begin flooding in and changing the nation, the leftist wants to ignore the problem by saying there is no problem. Even better is to go the other way, and say they will enrich our culture, and make America better.
We were the most free and greatest nation on earth, that had attained heights no other civilization ever attained, with nowhere to go but down from a historical perspective. But if the leftist thought we had to make hard decisions to maintain that greatness, they would feel stressed. So in the leftist mind, if harshness and bad-feels threaten, then they will conclude that you can do anything to this nation and it will just get better. Suddenly there is no stress.
Enter Donald Trump. Suddenly the left can’t escape the reality of the situation. He forces them to realize the reality. Suddenly the path of least resistance for their amygdala is to solve the problem with as little pain to everyone as possible – build the wall. The truth is Trump is making our reality better, but the liberal perception is Trump is making everything for them worse, because they don’t deal in reality.
They deal only in amygdala, and when the world is going to hell and the God Emperor is trying to save it, There is plenty of amygdala to go around. And eventually, that forced recognition of reality and additional amygdala leave the left with only one option to diminish the amygdala – support what the God Emperor wants.
Tell everyone about r/K Theory, because amygdala does not make the world worse
AC,
What are your thoughts on narcissists calling PDJT a narcissist?
I think PDJT has a healthy amount of narcissistic tendencies (he has a healthy ego), but I don’t buy the people calling him a malignant narcissist. If anything, it seems like the people calling him that are narcissists themselves, or are victims of narcissists and are projecting their unresolved issues onto him.
I’m also curious about how you might respond to a narcissist who calls someone else a narcissist? Is there a practical way of maneuvering through this type of encounter?
Thanks very much,
FJ
My own Narcissist Bob loved to pathologize others, because if he could sell everyone on a reality where someone else was damaged, that would mean he was fine. And he knew, deep down that something was wrong with him. And it freaked him out. But in those moments when he cast the stigma on someone else, he was ebullient.
Trump is not a narcissist. I suspect he is a quiet, kind introvert, who managed to twist his mind to enjoy exhibiting a mastery of persuasion, and that has made him seem narcissistic and flamboyant. SO we agree there.
I would point out one incontrovertible fact which disproves the narcissistic label. If Trump was a Narcissist, he would have withered under the massive criticism. Alternately, I would point out that Narcissism is a cognitive shortfall, and merely by out maneuvering everyone intellectually, and continuing to win, Trump shows an absence of cognitive shortfalls.
But when narcissists assert something, the Achilles heel will always be a single incontrovertible fact which you use as an anchor, and focus them on, which you can assert completely disproves their premise, and which you steadfastly present that way. It will trigger their amygdala, and in that state they will be unable to debate.
Your response is very helpful. Thank you, AC!
I was struck by how Trump has the quiet, kind introvert voice when I heard him on the radio a few times after he became president. It was a nice contrast to the arrogant doofus prick we had to endure for eight years.
Why did Trump create the space force? What’s going on?
I only know one thing for sure based on concrete firsthand experiences, and that is nothing is like we were told, and there is a vein of something dark running through the American experiment. According to Q, over the decades, and maybe centuries, a conspiracy began building an intelligence network, which eventually penetrated the US, and other nations, and began controlling broad world affairs. Their plan was to use agents (American politicians like Obama and Clinton), to engineer a world war for America that would end with our defeat at the hands of a foreign power, probably the Chinese. I would assume this was because Americans refuse to be disarmed, and thus cannot be controlled in a direct sense, and thus remain a persistent threat.
A Key element of the defeat was Obama ending the Shuttle program and cutting us off from Space, so the Chinese could gain space superiority.
I believe it possible, and perhaps even likely due to the way intelligence networks work. You can form the hottest intelligence operation in your local PD, and even begin breaking laws to attain objectives, and become a real force. But the problem is there are almost always bigger fish around. And when those bigger fish spot your operation (and they will), they can, and probably will move to take it over. First, it is a competitor and threat to them, and they will have to devote resources to keeping an eye on your people to make sure they don’t get too close to anything sensitive they are doing. Second, your operation is a great resource of sources and operators, and given compartmentalization, if they can get their guy in at the top issuing orders, those below will probably not even know the objectives and the purpose of their organization has changed. And then they will have an even bigger network that can do even more. So the environment is Darwinian, and thus if there was an intelligence operation preceding the CIA (and there was) it is not impossible, and maybe even likely, that the CIA may have ended up a tool of something older, and not even American. And once the CIA is lost, other agencies, and the rest of the government will fall quickly, because the network on top will have both a carrot and a stick driving them to take over everything, both to get power and shield themselves from danger.
A couple of years ago, I would have assumed the real top dogs, even above the billionaires in this nation would have been US Intel leaders. I figured our Intel was best in the world, and therefore the leaders of that could have done anything, known anything, and taken over anything. But after Q, I’ve had to realize that the CIA was a nascent intel operation, back when the Rothschilds had been building a network all throughout Europe for centuries, even seizing banks to lock down the intel about all money movement. I have to believe the Rothschilds would have opened a subsidiary in the US in its earliest days when it was clearly a rising power, before we were probably aware of the vital importance of intelligence work, and then looked at the CIA when it formed, and realized it was both a threat, and an opportunity.
And then I look back on Jesus James Angleton, seeing the Rothschilds everywhere, (when I am sure they were), and I see so many of his CIA associates telling him he was paranoid. Were they genuinely clueless to what Angleton saw clearly? Or where they trying to keep him off the trail?
We will find out, if Q is real, and I think he is. As a mechanist, one of the things which bugged me most was thinking I might cash out and not know, who was actually behind everything at the top, and the mechanism which facilitated their rise and dominance. Now, I think I may know in a year or two, and not even have to hang myself out there to find out.
It is truly an amazing time to be alive.
“I see so many of his CIA associates telling him he was paranoid.”
Isn’t paranoia CIA’s bread and butter? Or did they switch to I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter! and not inform us?
It’s also simpler than AC’s theory, as a independent consideration.
The USAF has not done a great job as custodian of the nation’s space efforts. And their whole other mission and its philosophy is just a bad fit with the space responsibility.
Star Trek actually got it right when they made it “USS Enterprise” – a Navy is far more congruent with the real needs of space, vs. NASA’s “Right Stuff” beginning that favored pilots. Think especially of the nuclear submarine force, which is a very close parallel to space.
Thing is, the US Navy follows the doctrines of Alfred Thayer Mahan, which emphasize decisive clash (great simplification, but broadly true). And think of its beginnings, with John Paul Jones etc. So the USN is *culturally* unsuited to run a space force, which is all about Sir Julian Corbett’s naval ideas re: lines of communication and support for other arms.
So if you want an organization that thinks like a Navy but patterns on Corbett instead of Mahan, you need a new organization.
But you’d better pattern them very consciously on Corbett, or you’ll get the same self-absorbed B.S. we’ve had every since the Army Air Corps became the USAF, and stropped wanting to support troops on the battlefield as an institutional priority (see: Key West agreement, C-27J, A-10, it goes on).

hi ac,
let me just say i have been looking for a place like this for years and will be buying your book soon. Is there a place where i can learn/read more about Q?
Book is free in Kindle form every so often, and there is even a reader program at Amazon for the computer, so you can read it on your system. I am very conflicted about taking cash from conservatives for this, so don’t feel like you need to pay. I am really looking forward to the leftist college students who will have to buy it because a professor makes them buy it for a course.
On Q, try http://www.doUknowQ.com. I am 99.9% convinced that Q is real, and will be biggest story of our time. For us, there will be the world pre-Q, which was an illusion, and the world post-Q where we realize just how clueless everyone was to how things work. BTW, Trump is now fist-pumping the people he sees wearing a Q shirt at his rallies. He is definitely promoting it, but for now he is only promoting it to his people.
