L. Goudsmit. Jeff Goldstein is a man who understands we are a world at war.
Tyranny is already upon us. To defeat it, we must first learn to reject its premises. And to say so aloud.
Be it so understood:
I refuse to “unpack white violence.” I reject the idea that my existence “perpetuates white power structures.” I will not — and in fact cannot — “examine my implicit biases.” I’m an individual. I refuse to grant determined interpretive communities authority over my being. My meaning is mine. It is what makes me me.
I’m not taking any “journey” to “discover” the impact of my “privilege” on “black and brown peoples.” I will not become “anti-racist” or “anti-fascist” to satisfy your demands. I reject Cultural Marxism. I am an individual. I’m not defined by my color, my religion, my sex. I’m Jeff.
I will not “respect your pronouns” or “celebrate” your “queerness.” I am hostile to your sexualizing of children. I reject your neologisms, your “triggers,” and your desire to control my speech. I know who and what you are: you are my presumptive master, or else the Useful Idiot who empowers him. But I will grant you and your ideology no power over me.
I reject “equity” because it is collectivism disguised as virtue. I reject “inclusivity” because it is inorganic, superficial, and contrived. I reject mandated “diversity”: I will not surrender to the Crayon Box Mafia, nor to the gender changelings who pretend I am a construct answerable to their whims.
“Cultural appropriation” is merely culture: it expands to include, and it makes up the very fabric of a pluralist society. There’s no such thing as “digital blackface.” My whiteness is not “violent”; my sex is not “oppressive”; my religion doesn’t concern you; and my children are not yours to mold. Your beliefs will not be imposed on me. The State will not parent my sons.
“Queer theory” is “critical race theory” is “critical consciousness” is the Marxist rejection of the individual as individual. Cultural Marxism is determined to raze norms, sow chaos, tear families asunder, and reduce being to collective conformity. I reject its premises as fully as I reject its adherents. I will not comply.
I will not mouth your slogans. I will not denounce on command. I am not your tool, and you are not my minder. I reject your social hectoring. I find abhorrent your authoritarian urges. I laugh at your disingenuous outrage. From me you will receive no apologies. I reject your premises entirely, and I hereby reclaim my time.
My speech is my own. I reject each of your excuses to silence me. I don’t ask for your protections. I can filter information without your interference, and I despise your presumption to protect me from myself.
I am your sworn enemy, as you are mine. I will not perform for you. I will not read from your script or dance in your follies. I utterly reject your revisionism, your ahistorical impertinence, your presentism, your self-appointed expertise. I will not bow before your theorists, nor admire your social prophets.
I am not a disease. My existence doesn’t “warm the planet.” I’m not interested in your “sustainability” concerns. I am not yours to manage.
I won’t eat your bugs, live in your pods, surrender my cars, or without consent be packed into your cities. I reject your charity. I unmask your intentions. I know what a woman is; I know that any member of any racial group can practice racism; I know that 2+2=4, regardless of how contingent you wish to make reality. I despise your ideology. I refuse your relativism. You are not the Elect, and I am not answerable to the various neuroses you wear as badges of honor.
I know you better than you know yourselves. You are conditioned. Programmed. Automotons who believe themselves sentient beings. Your intolerance of “hate” is not a virtue. It’s a ruse. An excuse to practice your own intolerance and luxuriate in your own hatreds. You are a self-fulfilling prophecy. You are that which you claim to despise, and I am that which you claim to be.
I see you. Clearly. And I aim to misbehave.
I strive to be self-sufficient. I honor the founding ideals of my country, and I work to live up to their measure. I recognize the great fortune of my birth. History does not frighten me. I reject your blood libels: I am not responsible for that which I didn’t do, nor are you victims of what was never done to you. I will not proclaim your goodness while knowing your evil.
I am a free man. You wish to take me from me. You will fail. I will win. And God willing, I will live to spit on your graves.

Your phrasing reminds me of this famous speech from the end of “Star Trek,” the original series, “The Omega Glory” (1968, season 2, episode 23) by Captain Kirk played by William Shatner (who as it happens, is Canadian Jewish, originally. He came to New York City in the 1950’s on tour with the Royal Canadian Shakespeare Company and stayed. Christopher Plummer who later played his Klingon Arch-Nemesis in one of the movies decades later was a fellow Canadian player in the RCS from that time. It’s a very Shakespearean bit. You can imagine him doing Henry V in that tone which has been often parodied, sometimes hilariously but unfairly, in my opinion.)

How’s this for a satirical, if somewhat arcane, slogan/placard/tee shirt/hat/button/bumpersticker, etc. at a pro-judicial reform rally:
“SC/AG to Publius: ‘No, No, only the eyes of a chief may see the ‘EE Plebnista.'”
(Somewhat fitting as this is after all, another Washington-funded “colour revolution.” Why the British spelling of color, I have no idea unless it’s from before Brexit and London was D.C.’s principal partner in crime.*)
* “English is a great language to learn. They speak it everywhere. Even in England! Kinda’.” Montgomery Clift. “The Search” (1948).
They are at war with We the People of the US who are patriots and believe in national sovereignty, and at war with Israel, also because Bibi and the Likud voters represent Zionism, a movement for national sovereignty. They are also at war with Hungary, because PM Orban also does not wish to toe the Soros line, he is a passionate nationalist and has been elected for that very reason. For that reason Biden sent in Samantha Powers to see if she could get any people who oppose Orban to make trouble for Orban. This is also the reason Putin must be brought down, not necessarily to “save Ukraine” but because Putin also is a staunch nationalist for his country and is religious as well.
It is exactly as stated by others below, a globalist effort to destroy national sovereignty wherever it currently exists in the world. Even if they have to bring down governments, they do not care. In the US the Constitution is meaningless to the globalists, because by definition, the Constitution represents and lays out our national system of liberty, justice, and is the foundation of our representative republic. The Bill of Rights means nothing to them.
They aim to persecute every person who is capable of influencing others to believe in our right to national sovereignty.
They hate Trump because he has torn down the veil and explained to Americans about the corruption of the media, corruption of the FBI, corruption of the DOJ, the corruption of DHS, the corruption of elections, corruption of the Judiciary, corruption of the RINOS. The government of the US is totally corrupt, and the uniparty in Congress is a Potemkin Village, acting as if there is real representative government.
Great article, well worth keeping – thank you, Jeff Goldstein, for daring to say the things that nobody else does. And for putting it all so well.
BRAVO! Jeff Goldstein has the courage to say the unsayable! In his complete rejection of radical leftist ideology, he is rejecting its false, relativist, destructive Marxist foundation completely. We are a world at war whether people acknowledge it or not – it is globalism v. the nation state. The globalists are using radical leftist ideology as its weapon of mass destruction to collapse western countries internally, particularly Israel and the United States. Why? Because our two countries are the two remaining obstacles standing in the way of imposing globalism’s planetary Unistate. Buyer beware! The globalists don’t care whether the world’s economy functions on US dollars, Chinese yuan, Russian rubles, or even Israeli shekels. One-world government will function with one world currency, one world language, one world culture, one world educational curriculum – it is a return to the feudal structure of masters and slaves on a global scale. The irony, of course, is the useful idiot leftists are too arrogant to understand they are tools of the revolution – the globalist revolution – and there is no place for agitators in the New World Order – they will all be eliminated.
Excellent! I will print it and frame it
