“The drift of our own political culture seems to be confirming the Founders’ intuition that representative government can only work in a population possessed of some minimum level of virtue—thrift, restraint, industriousness, stoicism in the face of misfortune, willingness to defer gratification, and concern for the common good.”

Do Some Good
Sign the petition to save Pastor Saeed from torture for his faith in Iran, and write a letter to this courageous American pastor to show him he has not been forgotten.
That’s What They™ Say
~ WHOEVER THEY™ ARE, They say that it’s always bad to start off with an apology– so I didn’t– I started with this statement.
I must apologize for the recent & relative lack of braining with essays– I’ve been very busy with family stuff, life in general, and braining takes a lot more energy than I currently have. Thus, some essays are observational crap; others vaguer repeats of older essays, and only a few I’m glad to put online.
Derping The Derpy-Derp
For instance, this morning as I’m trying to blodge, I have no notions. None. Sometimes they come from links, books read, movies watched, pattern recognition & discernment of the reality behind the news or matters of the day, and eternity. Wait.. brain is coming online.. MOAR COFFEE!
While I’ve gone all meta-behind-the-Binks, I’d like to throw something out there about the majority of my work, that is, link-collectifying: (a) the shape & comments on each ARE a form of blogging, as is (b) the specific selection of blogs to be attended to, (c) find the interesting/ cool/ important stuff amidst the chaff. While some may regard this as a kind of vacuuming up stuff and throwing it online, not so much akshully. ~
Bringing The Funny
~ I’D THOUGHT HE was all used up, but Will Ferrell in Anchorman is still extremely funny. Laugh-out-loud.
Likewise laugh-making is the deliberately quirky B-movie “Nazis From The Moon” flick ‘Iron Skies. It’s no Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow, but close. Of course, they must have Sarah Palin as the war-mongering president, with lots of cheap shots at Dubya– but still.. it has some truly great FX, wonderfully corny lines and scenes, and is worth.. erm, I almost said ‘renting from BlockBuster’. ~
OK, So Here’s The Thing
Binks: Aiming to Misbehave?
~ I WAS A NASTY KID, betimes– tell me what not to do, and there I’d go like a shot. Kinda Calvin, minus the Hobbes.
I suppose I’m still there in a certain way– except applied to petty tyrants, injustice, illegal surveilling, sneaky utopians, nasty bishops, liars and people needing some uppance to come to them.
Now, it’s a little more doomed Scots/ Firefly/ Lord of The Rings thing. Fight for the right, even if it’s a long defeat. Better to be on a losing side than the wrong side. ~
Ye Most High Nerdlies
~ ITEM: Gates’ Big History Project Closes Young Minds to God
~ ITEM: The Materialist Superstition – The Imaginative Conservative
~ ITEM: List of Christian thinkers in science
~ ITEM: Billionaire Do-Goodery
~ I’M NOT MENSA-SMART, but almost– and so what, exactly? In his prime, Binks-Dad was the beyond-Mensa one. Still, I had my teen-time as one of the high nerdlies– played D&D, tinkered with tech, mocked at religion, was pretty sure that we Nerdlies were amazing, and the shape of genius to come.
Dawkins, MS-Gates, Hawking.. we seem up to our knees in clevers who preachify and pontificate on materialist themes, and the non-existence of God. Some, like Uber-Lefty Bill Gates and his wife, use their wealth to kill & prevent darkies from over-swarming the planet, and edumacating people to forget that there ever were people who believed in the benefits of science as one kind of knowing & doing, but who also understood philosophy, and also believed in God.
Power Over The Punies
Now, MS-messiah Gates is after the brains of schoolkids with a secularist curriculum which leaves no room for God, except as a quaint side-note to real learning. Writes Stephen Beale:
“History is, to paraphrase one of its practitioners, philosophy teaching by experience—by stories that are true, stories from which lessons are learned. History is thus the inherited wisdom of the ages. As an encounter with the great minds of the past, history, properly taught, can prepare a young mind for a lifetime in search of the truth. Big History, on the other hand, shrinks the horizon of experience, offering a truncated vision of the world that pushes God to the edge and diminishes humanity in the process.”
Me So Smarter!
The high Nerdlies who never actually intellectually grew up, or had faith, are amongst the most dangerous, because they think that if it doesn’t tickle their intellectual fancy, it’s all lies, and that the main work of the Nerdlies is to Leftify, and reshape humanity into some kind of secularized Nerdly mass with no access to the riches of the fullness of truth.
I suppose the Nerdlies will say that those past scientists and inventors who put faith at the center of their lives were good scientist, but stupid in that one irrelevant nerd-area of dumb old religiousity. Thing is, they also exist today– heretics against the High Nerdidoxy of Secular Materialism.
Christly Brainers
Past names are a veritable Who’s Whom of figuring stuff out, and being Christian– here’s a list of Roman Catholic cleric–scientists; and a list of Popish laypeople who loved science. In fact, there’s a reason why the Greco-Roman Judaeo-Christian world has seen so much science– because we believe in a knowable truth, a stable and intelligible God-given creation, and a coherent way of knowing and understanding, because the Word was not only incarnate, but is the principle of order and beauty and art in all things. Muslims? They mostly copied what the West had done, or the civilizations they’d conquered, or the thinkers in those societies– most of whom were non-Muslim.
Not So Smrt
This is why the narrow-focus of the Nerdlies is kinda sad, and rather “Been There, Duh That”– Socrates famously pointed out that an expert in one area of life does not automatically become an expert in everything; and that the height of wisdom is to know that you don’t know. A lot of the dangerous High Nerdlyism of the past and this new bloody century is precisely this, and a refusal to grant that Secular Materialism is an anti-supernaturalist faith– and not a very rational one, either.
Sadly, such folks– exalted into high-priestly “Experts” tend to recycle the bad and popular ideas of the past– hence, Bill Gates is beating the drum for fighting the disproven “Population Explosion”; Dawkins is re-fighting the Darwin Wars of the 1800s and early 20th century; Hawking is bright, but not as bright as Albert Einstein, who believed in a version God, whatever his extra-marital activities and pop-star status.
A Narrow Escape, By Crom!
I grew out of most of my Nerdliness– the obsession with minutiae, the joy of picking on others, the addiction to war-games as the centre of life, the cleverer-than-thou anti-religion; the digesting of Utopian and escapist fantasy and sci-fi; and God be thanked, I never got into dressing up in odd costumes except for Hallowe’en.
This kind of nerdy-geeky person may seem laughable, but given money, power, and opportunity, they are some of the most dangerous and potentially evil people around. Furthermore, we’ve had a ruinious century of evil inventions, government mass-murder, and a willingness to uses science and politics as a way of controlling the world and other people. Sadly– as noted in the comments– most universities and centres of education have been captured for the new anti-Religion.
Bits And Pieces
Part of the answer is fighting back against the Nerdlies; protesting the new Gates-funded curricula; and exposing the mass-preventing of imaginary population explosions. Truth will out, and God’s will shall be done– but how many more bodies must pile up? How much more violent cruelty masquerading as wisdom and the way of the future propaganda do we have to put up with?
For me, pondering the kinds of complete-knowledge seen on so many of the sites on the interwebs like The Imaginative Conservative is a start. Remembering history is another– and that includes insisting that school curricula include history from Grade 7 onwards, unlike today. Otherwise, how will people even have the basic ideas and facts to understand the two great truths of our dictatorial times? That those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it; and that those who rewrite history fully intend to try and repeat it? ~
A Big Boooooom

~ ITEM: Christ’s name banned from memorial– Canadians have allowed politicians to deny this is a Christian country; Clergy protest ban on Jesus in Swissair prayers
~ ITEM: The Rabbi Who Caved to “Diversity” Enforcer “Little” Ricky Veerappan Clarifies His, Um, Capitulation
~ ITEM: Mark The Date: JDL Canada Presents Pamela Geller & Robert Spencer Tuesday Sept. 17th 7:30 PM
~ I HEARD IT– the earth-trembling booom as Swissair 111 hit the Atlantic two parishes over, just off the coast, at 500 kmh into the ocean. What the–?
At first, I thought a propane tank had gone off in town. I ran over to the Fire Hall, just as the siren went off summoning the volunteer firemen to their duty. Off they raced, unsure of where the plane had landed– inshore, offshore? They were first on scene, driving around looking, trying to do what they could, hoping for survivors, hoping against hope that the plane had not crashed into the ocean. I worked the cell-phone, calling all the local pastors and regional Anglican clergy, warning them we had a big disaster at hand.
Lifting It Up In Prayer
A few days later, we held a community remembrance service (packed, U.S., national, and local media, MP, other bigses), and the other clergy– busy on site helping the communities, the military clean-up crews, the family members of the killed flying in from all over the world– served as the invisible glue tying everything together for months.
Eventually there was a giant outdoor Official Service, with the Prime Minister, Premier, politicos, family of the crash-victims, and a variety of clergy– Micmac spiritual representative, rabbi, Muslim Imam, Anglican, Catholic, United Church. So far, so good.
Shut Up, They Explained
However, before the event, word came down from the Prime Minister’s Protocol Office (PM Jean Chretien) that all Christian clergy were not permitted to pray in the name of “Jesus Christ” or mention the word “Cross”. All of them– I’m very very sad to say– complied with this illegal, unconstitutional, immoral, and anti-Christian demand. The rabbi and a United Church clergywoman and one Anglican cleric complained afterwards.
What One Journalist Said
“What’s most troubling is the protocol office issued a ban on Christianity despite the fact that a Native Canadian spoke of her people’s beliefs, a Rabbi read from the Hebrew Scriptures and the Muslim representative read from the Koran.”
Yeah, one of those “All you infidels are going to hell” passages from the Koran, if I recall correctly.
No Binky Required
I was not invited, as being less directly involved. If invited, I would not have allowed any representative of Caesar to silence me– as a man, as a Christian, as a member of the ordained clergy, as a representative of a Canadian and international church. No way, ever, ever, ever. Too bad, so sad: it is a first-principles thing– Jesus Is Lord.
Yes, I’m one of those crazy guys who would stand against such political bullying– I hope and pray– even unto death. The PM could have hate on me as much as he might wish– I would have been there in the name of God, the name of the victims & family, and the name of Jesus Christ and his saving Cross. Caesar is under God too; he has judgment to face, and we out to please God, not worldly power and anti-Christian political correctness.
Run Rabbi, Run Run Run
So that wussy Rabbi who let Ontario police officials & diversity busybodies tell him what he could or couldn’t do in renting his facility for Pamela Geller to talk– and then to snap at Mark Steyn for pointing it out? I got one word– Maccabees. And another word: Masada. And how about the Hebrew Ten Commandments? “Thou shalt have none other gods before me.”
Courage to stand against unjust dictates, evil demands? A very very basic freedom, which giving up, we pit chains on our own words and deeds, and become slaves unto Caesar, acting in the place of God.
It is a first freedom; the foundation of all other rights & freedoms & of civilization itself. You just don’t surrender it, without that you also surrender your life defending it, for yourself, others, and the freedom of the West.
Stand tall, rebbe– now and in the future. ~

Better Edumacationed
Him Smarter Than You?
~ ITEM: No, You’re Probably Not Smarter Than a 1912-Era 8th Grader; take a look
~ SOMETHING ARE WRONG with our school-systems: both in the content & message, and in the results. More than ever, the over-emPHAsis on science & math (as if it were the 1960s) means that history, english, languages, and other sectors of learning are sidelined.
Despite the Smithsonian’s pooh-poohing the obvious, the 1912 exams were tough, wide-ranging, and showed high expectations for all students– I recall looking at a similar textbook from that era– owned by a centenarian relative– and noted exactly the same thing. I’m also guessing that the cost-per-student was lower, the self-esteem-boosting and socialism less evident, and thus, someone who left school early had a better-than high-school level of education, 1912 compared to 2013.
What if we were to combine 1912 content with the very best of 2013 teaching? Might we not transform education as we know it? Or would the extended baby-sitting/ dumbing down paradigm and the backers of same crush anything that made kids to brain gooder more faster? ~

A monk-thing? Going hermit? Getting away from it all, even if away is 30-ish feet? The current Binky-domicile will be hugemungous once the Binklings take flight.. mind you, the She-Binks said she’d not last long together in a tiny home (we’re somewhat plus-sized).. we’d need two, with a connecting walkway.
Whist we’re dreaming, I’d like solar panels, and a crazy-cool giant basement under mine, twice as large as the house– properly ventilated and dry, but hidden from the world above.. plus, make some Lord of the Rings elfy-hobbity decorating details, or summat. Dear heaven, I think my inner hippy just wandered out. Or my inner monk. I could monk, I think. As long as there were lots of mind-your-business times, and not too much blah-blah. ~
