The anarchist, quasi-Marxist, anti-capitalist, prone to violence, virulent anti-Jewish “protesters’ on the left in Governor Gavin Newsom’s California will ratchet up their reactions to the police authority everywhere in the United States if they are not effectively checked by rational congressmen. Not all the protestors in Los Angeles fall into the above category, of course, but there is an undeniable undertow in the movement that directs the course of events.
Long ago, when discipline in public schools was enforced by teachers, parents and school administrators, disciplinarians agreed on the importance of what then was called “reality testing.”
Suppose a student, for instance, had interrupted the order and discipline of a class by, say, shouting an obscenity in the midst of a teacher’s presentation. In the absence of a response other than a verbal chastisement, the student would, it had been supposed, continue the misbehavior until he or she had been effectively checked.
This was called “reality testing.” Disruptive students generally test the reality of verbal responses to unwanted behavior by repeating the behavior until effective and just sanctions are applied. If no effective sanctions are applied, the behavior will continue in a higher key in the absence of a real deterrent. Words are only words, prisons are full of reality testers, and politics generally is a theatre of reality testing. The reality tester probes the borders of reality by repeating or accelerating a destructive behavior until he or she is effectively deterred. It is the inescapable duty of teachers and school administrators to open students’ eyes to reality – so it had been thought for centuries.
Reality testing lies at the root of all impermissible behavior, whether in the family, in the school or in the U.S. Congress. The juvenile delinquent will probe the boundaries of the permissible as vigorously as any scientist testing a scientific thesis. And juvenile delinquent congressman will do the same.
Connecticut U.S. Senator Chris Murphy is regarded by leftist journalists as a reliable early-bird apologist on the left. Here is Murphy hawking the widely accepted left of center message on the L.A. riots: President Donald Trump was, Murphy said almost immediately after the usual L.A. mayhem, “trying to turn a protest that is pretty small into something that involves an even bigger confrontation, so that he might actually be able to invoke the Insurrection Act… obviously, this is a moment where we have to be on the streets all over the country to protest what’s happening to our immigrant community, but more broadly, to protest what’s happening to our democracy. This is the most corrupt administration in the history of the country, and we are going to rise to this moment by being out there on the streets.”
The protests in L.A. were not small and insignificant and, following Murphy’s instruction – “… this is a moment where we have to be on the streets all over the country to protest what’s happening to our immigrant community, but more broadly, to protest what’s happening to our democracy” – the crowds will be much more expansive and perhaps more disruptive.
As to law and order and Murphy‘s favorite foundational principles -- no one is above the law and democracy in the United States must be preserved by all means possible -- one imagines such principles apply equally to both presidents and violent border jumpers who illegally crossed the U.S. southern border during the administration of President Joseph Biden.
The crowds that threw rocks at the police authority in L.A., looted stores and set police vehicles afire were not elected by the vast majority of Americans in a democratic process, and the secret springs of their actions that arise from neo-Marxism and the anarchist itch to destroy public order, are profoundly anti-American.
It would be refreshing, for once, to hear Murphy say this with as much passion as he has deployed in undoing the democratic results of the last election.
A recent Real Clear Politics headline reads: “Sen. Chris Murphy: Trump Wants To Turn ‘Pretty Small’ LA Protests Into A ‘Story Of The Week.’" It has now become real clear that Murphy wants “The Story Of The Week” to last far beyond a week, perhaps through the midterm elections.
And they call conservatives a threat to democracy.
We have a captured media problem. Almost all the world's media companies/corporations right down to most grass roots local newspapers and radio stations (most of which have beem eaten alive by the money sharks) are owned by corporate conglomerates. These five or six megathons th own a plethora of different types of business corporations and adhere to ethical and competancy standards in very few if any of them, despite all their global green and social credit bullcrap.
When international global goons OWN information sources and dictate propaganda instead of facts, the journalists become script readers, talking heads and narrative pushers to their pretty much captive audiences.
So, much of the reality testing that is essential and aas importaant as you describe, has morphed into fiction and video game like acting out UNREALITY wishful thinking and absolute cretinism.
When scientists have been coopted away from the fundamentals of research and join the money grubbing mayhem of the medical establishment as we know it today, in which maintenance on pills and injuections of toxins make human beings cash cows for life that has lost its quality to the drugs that profit their overseers, and they cannot establish reality to the point that they believe racism starts in the womb and there is no such thing as male and female sexes...
We are in a WORLD of hurt. The Dems are just a USA political party, but global goon and slush fund raiding uniparty corrupt creep funded (aided by organized crime lamenting its losses as the border is cleaned up and natural holistic health and HEALING is back).
USA here is beginning beginning to follow the money, and clean up the coffers.The world is mass producing affluenzic, vile sociopathic and psychopathic individuals.
The "science" and the conglomerate media sources are world wide attempting to mass produce social sysytems that not only entirely LACK but actually intentionally curtail reality testing.
These socio-political transhuman-preferring frankensteinian oligarchs are already purveyors of so called "virtual reality" and their long term aims for human existence has been already propagated by incremental culture capturing short term steps for eventual conversion to humanesque "beings" confined to a subgroup of a completely totalitarian controlled planet ,who are to receive dosed psychotropic drugs that fake spirituality, where High= happiness and debauchery is assured for all the hapless helpless disposable "people" whose dignity and freedom have been forcibly removed and whose very life and death will exist at the will of the hideous hegemony.
We in USA who are real, authentic, vital members of the last bastions of freedom protectors have our work cut out for us. And it is sadly, dangerous.
