Another Attempt at the Triumph of the Woke Will.

The 2024 Olympics began with an opening ceremony which blasphemed God and His Messiah, Jesus Christ. That alone should tell you all you need to know about the kind of people you’re dealing with. Of course, they weren’t done there. Besides, in effect, dedicating the Olympic Games to Satan, they also engaged in various displays of sadism. There were the cardboard beds that were supposed to reduce carbon footprints. A human life isn’t allowed to make an impact on the world around him/her — unless, of course, that person is elite. The athletes in the Olympic Village were also not provided enough non-vegan alternatives for their diets. You do have to, in the very least, transition to a vegan diet. It would have seemed to me a simple thing to give the athletes a menu survey if the dieticians really couldn’t figure out what the demand would be for non-vegan food rather than punishing the non-vegan athletes.

And then there’s the fact the athletes weren’t supplied air conditioning during a heat wave. You’d think that for seventeen days these woke elites could make an exception. After all, how many exceptions do they make for themselves every day? But for the most exceptional athletes in the general population, no exception is permitted to be made. The elite have to take a hard line on us peons. And what better way than to make an example of the most accomplished of our representatives?

Why not humiliate and shame them publically? Why not get them to swim in a river of excrement in order to earn the shiny trinkets and accolades of the elite class who now have a monopoly on all the attention and shiny trinkets. How much amusement these woke elites, these sadists must have gained having these prize non-elites debase themselves for their approval. They even have had one of their elected stooges show how it’s perfectly fine to dive into a river of human filth in order to compel the athletes to do the same. Of course, it’s okay for her. She’s just a peon like the rest of us — another non-elite who they can laugh at — so desperate to serve her woke masters that she’s willing to throw her health away to do so.

So then came the boxing match between a biological woman and a person who identifies as a woman despite previously failing to meet the International Boxing Association eligibility rules.

“The International Boxing Association (IBA) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) are at odds over whether Khelif should be able to compete in women’s competitions. IBA president Umar Kremlev told Russian news agency TASS that Khelif and another boxer had ‘XY chromosomes,’ the typical genetic makeup of males, and that is why they were disqualified from the World Champion­ships in 2023, Reuters reported. However, the IBA, which is Russian-led, is itself controversial, having been ousted from Olympic competition oversight over ‘governance, finance, and ethical issues,’ Reuters reported.” (McBride, 2024)

Still, it’s clear that the Olympic Committee in their great woke wisdom has decided to use gender identity rather than biological sex to determine eligibility. “Also fueling controversy is the fact that the Olympics stopped testing for gender in 1999. ‘The decision to abandon compulsory gender verification in Olympic competition was taken in 1999, following many years of debate,’ according to a 2008 Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine article, ‘Intersex and the Olympic Games.’ ‘As with previous Olympic boxing competitions, the gender and age of the athletes are based on their passport,’ the IOC says.” (McBride, 2024)

The only rational criteria to determine eligibility should be biological sex. If they allow anyone who identifies as a woman to participate in women’s sports, eventually no woman will make the cut, and it will all be biological males in sports. Is that the point?

I personally think they mostly just enjoy watching a woman get shamed and beaten myself. I think the woke are moving us toward a sadistic society where non-elite people are conditioned to be masochists. I think if they have their way they will have us giving our will over to them and to Satan for a couple of pats on the back and a few golden trinkets. Then, if that doesn’t work they will try to force us to submit our will to them for food and water, for energy, for medicine, for shelter, for survival. Yes, this Olympics is a preview for the world the woke want us all to be living and dying in — a world straight out of Dante’s Inferno. A world where they not only challenge our right to free will, but they challenge God’s will as well. And it all started with the blaspheming of God and His Messiah, Jesus Christ. One cannot underestimate or condone the significance of that.

Tick Tock … What’s The Point of This Clock?

Tick Tock … What’s The Point of This Clock?

When I was in art school, there was a clock — just a generic one you could hang on the wall. It was low enough that anyone could reach it. I didn’t discover the time was off until I stayed after class to work on an assignment. Then, I headed to my next class. Only I heard the sound of the clock tower ringing while en route. The clock in my last class was five to ten minutes slow. How could this be? The time was then fixed on the clock the next day, and I assumed the problem was over. But, lo and behold, the clock ended up five to ten minutes slow again. The professor suggested that the clock might be winding down. I pointed out that clocks that are winding down don’t keep a consistent time. My theory was that someone was setting the clock backward intentionally, so that they would have extra time to arrive to class without being counted as late. Who cared how it affected the rest of us?

A girl in my class challenged me with the, “Why do you care so much?” argument. She was offended apparently by my desire for rules and structure — as so many people are. I pointed out to her that she had a class right after this one in which she told me had a strict tardiness policy. So, really, it affected her far more than me. But she was more offended by my attitude than by the actions of the person getting her into trouble. Because ironically our release time from class was being determined by the time on this clock that everyone now knew was faulty. The professor also didn’t seem to be bothered by the faulty clock. Once the onetime reset was done, nothing further was attempted to fix the problem. And yet, he still insisted on having us be in class “on time,” or we’d be counted as absent. He also continued to release us from class “on time” — all based on the faulty clock.

What I learned from this experience is that some people really hate rules and standards applied to themselves. And they are more invested in shutting down people who have standards than in their own best interests. Yet, those same people don’t mind insisting that other people be made to live under their rules and standards.

Eventually, I just relied on my watch. I could afford to be released late. If people who couldn’t afford to be released late would rather see my quest for consistency and standards fail than fix the problem, so be it. But really, what is the point of a clock with the wrong time?
