  1. I don’t know Kate. The infinitely efficient wikipedia article (to kill a mockingbird) and associated talk page are not on top of this purge dictat. The citation trail leads back to the venerable LA Times, which is a reliable source. Hopefully, activists will add this thought crime warning to the wiki articles for the five despicable works of hatred after they get finished with the ‘Trump coup’ piece.

    1. FB, we have spent far too much time concerning ourselves with those of inferior intellect. We managed to get from no books to millions of books to electronic censorship of books, Fuck we have come a long way since the printing press was invented, damn near back to the illiterate dark ages. carry on nothing to see here.

  2. It’s all about power and control, isn’t it?

    “If they can ban To Kill A Mockingbird for being racist, they can ban anything for being anything, because words have lost all descriptive power except for what serves the will of the Party at any given moment…”

  3. It would be ironic having To Kill A Mockingbird and Huckleberry Finn banned. Both books were written as anti-racist works.

    As an aside, Atticus Finch was, apparently, Gregory Peck’s favourite movie role.

  4. Mark Twain was one of the many paternalistic white progressives of his day, becoming increasingly humourless, bitter and consumed with loathing of Christianity and western civilization as he aged.

    “King Leopold’s Soliloquy” is probably the best example, a literary libel of the best European king Africa ever enjoyed, whose only crime was devoting the Congo’s wealth to improving the lot of the Belgian people and not the net worth of London and Paris banks.

    What did Sam Clemens expect from the Negroes of the south when he slandered the white southern peasantry? Or the Negroes of the Congo when he slandered their king? Gratitude?

    Did he think he was helping them? Because with over a hundred years of hindsight, it’s become clear that Negroes worth trying to help were never that thick on the ground.

    The useful idiots are always disposed of when their use comes to an end. I’d say Twain did this to himself.

    1. SG yes. Useful idiots are seemingly in the majority these days. They have no idea what awaits them. Being stupid must have it’s own reward.

      1. You shoot down Ghost, you shoot down PO’d. Are you by any chance also CanuckguyNB and Canucked who called me a “dumbazz follower” for posting in the same thread as PO’d?

        Not an uncommon troll tactic in my experience, pretending to be vaguely on the same side but mainly insulting under one name, and a viciously insulting obvious troll under another. Sows division, dontcha know. Maybe try names that aren’t so similar.

    2. Ummm, no. King Leopold II was a typical Roman Catholic ruler.

      Brutal. Murderous.

      He was the Hitler of Africa.

      You may read the non-whitewashed reality of his evil in Adam Hochschild’s book, “King Leopold’s Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa”.

      1. Space-Jew username invokes authority of Jew to slam Catholic monarchism.

        Why no, that doesn’t look suspicious *at all*…XD

  5. That’s ok, I have ten of them, from a Pulpit Bible to two pocket Bibles. I need a magnifying glass to read those. They don’t really need to ban or remove the Bible, because the current crop of idiots are so stupid even if they recognized the words they would in no way understand what they are reading. I defy anyone to prove me wrong and that does not mean cherry picking some intelligent Christian kid because I already know more than one. I mean the mass, the bulk , of the brainless, that we see every day. Many of them now hold political office.

  6. Fahrenheit 451 was prophetic.
    The hedonistic, illiterate, shallow, indifferent populace plagued by overdoses in a society where anti-intellectualism and a hostility to curiosity reign, while ‘muh tv shows’ become the ‘best’ of culture. All ruled by a technocratic, uncaring bureaucracy that enforces its will through corrupted petty officials while needlessly risking itself to fight wars it does not understand.
    We are starting to check off all the boxes…. Beatty’s speech about how it all started basically describes present-day Western civilization.

    1. I was going to suggest that everyone find their favorite book and start memorizing it, the world described in Fahrenheit 451 may be closer then we might think.

  7. For those of you unable to use the link, just go to the main site of the Battle Swarm Blog and then navigate down to the specific entry.  For some reason, even though the URL appears to be identical when you click on the entry’s header, a direct link to that entry throws a “500 Internal Server Error.”  No idea why.

  8. Courts in the U.S. and Canada have banished the 10 Commandments from their buildings, as they understood, that heeding them would reduce the number of lawyers and judges needed.

    Secondly, under current ideology, admonishing criminals (and lawyers), for violating a value higher than their own savage instincts, might hurt their feelings.

    L-In effect, by banning Church services, the provincial governments have banned reading of the Bible in a group setting. Now actually even in a house, if there are more than 10 in attendance. We used to think, it was only the Chinese Communist Party that would raid churches and even the “House Christians”. Now, it’s Canada wide government policy.

    All that has taken is using a PCR test for Covid-19, (the C.C.P. virus) with a high false positive rate. A fragment of a failed to infect virus or a piece of a destroyed virus from a defeated virus is enough to label someone a social leper, as “unclean”.

    Ironically, the new approved religious practice is the social crucifying of the morally innocent,
    and setting free the morally guilty.

    Irony abounds in an upside down world.

  9. Well lets not credit people with the ability to read let alone understand what they read. Many Americans think their Constitution doesn’t say what it says. Functional iliteracy is just what you get from a public education.
