And now, the Mark of the Beast
"Voluntary" of course. For now, at least.

Anyone wonder why this blog has this name?
"kakistocracy" the rule by the LEAST worthy, LEAST fit, LEAST honorable.
And, generally, by the least accountable.
Like many, I grew up thinking that "rule" implied the pageantry of position. The trumpets (and strumpets sometimes) that went along with the dukes baron, czars, etc. that we associate with the Romanovs of Russia, the Bourbons of France, the series of dynasties in China, Egypt, and England and Imperial Japan, and the like. The crowns and parades and castles and such. That is true, but only up to a point.
"Rule" means power. And sometimes that power is exerted openly and publicly. Sometimes it's not.
And power in this case doesn't mean electrical power or steam power or the like, not power in the sense that a physicist or mechanical engineer would use it. Power means the ability to order the lives of other human beings. And sometimes it is exerted by those who prefer to remain faceless and anonymous, being both unelected and unaccountable, as surely as any czar ever was.
Think me wrong?
Give me the name and photograph of the person who decreed the "allowable" volume of the flush tank on your toilet. Can you? Unlikely..
Who decreed the allowable designs of the bulbs that light your kitchen, bath, or living room? Doing any better?
Who is it who decided what the "allowable", even required, miles per gallon rating on a new car must be? Or that your gasoline must contain a certain percentage of the ethanol that is destroying the engine while also causing soil damage and higher prices for corn around the world? Who is it who decreed that public schools must include in their curricula praise for homosexuality and Islam, while damaging the teaching of arithmetic, history, handwriting, and reading, while also hindering the ability to maintain order?
We've seen, just in the last 10 days, unelected judges in the most overruled court in the nation, decree that persons living in other nations have the same rights under the US Constitution as do American citizens, pulling said ruling out of the neither regions of their alimentary canal. And who regard honest disagreement as being criminal "hate speech".
Ruling by decree might have been accepted, grudgingly, under the Bourbons, Romanovs, or Tudors. It is incompatible with pretensions of self government under a written Constitution.

As France Collapses Further, Now Wolves Roam the Streets, Unchecked
The complete collapse of a civilization is an interesting thing. Like a train wreck in slow motion, one hates to watch but can't quite look away. So long as one is a safe distance from it, of course. At close range, it rapidly loses its entertainment value.
This is, perhaps, most notable in those "it can't possibly happen" situation. There have been many shipwrecks, for example, but we remember the Titanic because all the "experts" loudly assured everyone that it was "UNSINKABLE!". Until it did, of course.
Back when the "progessives", the "elites" of the Globalist crowd, assured everyone that, with rise of the technocrats into power, the world's problems were rapidly being solved for all times. Remember all the yakking about "the end of History", as Mankind marched forward into a Glorious Future???
Remember any of that? Some of it came about after the War To End All Wars, a.k.a. World War One,was ending, and the League of Nations would solve everything. Or when the 'agrarian reformers" took over and Russia and some captive lands became the Soviet Union, encouraged by academics, "progressives", and more than a few priests and pastors in the so-called "Western World"? Or, later, when the United Nations was formed, or the World Trade Organization, or any of a similar set of globalist international cooperative efforts took form. Or, later, when the Soviet Union collapsed? They even ignored the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993 and completely ignored the rise of Islam.
But they were the experts. They said so. People, oddly, believed it.
The European Union, the bastard offspring of the Common Market, and its constituent states, provides a ready and shameful exhibit of this. Now we have invaders, the sort that in an earlier time, Charles Martel and those like him, met with every military force they could scrape together. Now, these invaders are welcomed, their basic needs met, their lusts appeased, and their depredations concealed from the victims and future victims.
It's an overwhelming thing.
And not all of those invaders are human either. Some are four-legged predators. But those who are likely to be the prey of them are forbidden by other "experts", the "Superior Beings", from dealing forthrightly with the matter.
Here is just one example. A command from On High to the French citizenry to not be concerned about WOLVES roaming the streets of their cities, seeking out tasty toddlers perhaps. After, for now at least they are simply "lone wolves", not the wolfpacks that can be so deadly.
And wolves, like MUSLIME jihadi's bent on the death of decent people, are classed as "protected", and one dare not defend oneself nor call out the plain truth.
Check out this story in the Mirror out of the UK.
But don't laugh too hard. We have coyotes, at least, in Central Park, New York City. And mutliple reports of same in places like San Francisco and elsewhere. And the like.
