“Open Border” Self-Destruction: A Universal Sick-Sociocultural-Cycle (Part Two)

August 31, 2015

“Open Border” Self-Destruction: A Universal Sick-Sociocultural-Cycle

(Part Two)

In the first installment of this blog I discussed the following main points:

  • Modernity appears to weaken the founding religions of sociocultures, importing other competing religions can do the same.
  • Both modernity and the loss of founding religions are strongly correlated with reductions in a population’s fertility.
  • An increasing aged population and a decreasing young population reduces the labor available to sustain a socioculture.
  • A demand for youthful laborers and perhaps other skills, increases the likelihood that a labor-deprived socioculture will recruit immigrants to fill its needs.
  • The short-term benefit of increased immigration from other sociocultures can satisfy the immediate need for labor, or other personal attributes.
  • Another short-term benefit goes to businesses who hire immigrants and are able to hire them for lower wages than higher-priced citizens.
  • However, the long-term consequences of these factors for the receiving socioculture can be catastrophic.

Mass Immigration can cause severe damage to the receiving socioculture because:

  1. Businesses hiring immigrants at lower wages forces unemployed citizens onto welfare roles and other tax-funded entitlements. The fact that many immigrants will be paid “under-the-table”, and therefore not pay their share into tax revenues, exacerbates this problem.
  2. A large number of immigrants will not find work and they will tend to use various government welfare programs. They will often take menial jobs and be paid “under-the- table”.
  3. Immigrants may bring incompatible and/or competing cultural practices.
  4. Immigrants may bring strong tendencies not to acculturate into the receiving socioculture.
  5. There is strong evidence that multiculturalism all-to-often leads to social conflict and even violence.
  6. Immigrants may be uneducated, diseased, inclined to criminality, or worshiping incompatible/competing religions, thereby stressing and perhaps overwhelming the receiving socioculture’s predominant religion(s) and cultural traditions.
  7. Immigrants will tend to vote-in-unison for the political party that most panders to them, thus corrupting the existing political system.
  8. In the long-run, mass immigration can accelerate the “transformation” (read decline) of  the host socioculture.
  9. This transformation of the already weakened host society is almost certain to lead to an even less viable socioculture.

If immigration is controlled by a socioculture’s rational, short and long term self-interests and  if it focuses upon very compatible immigrants; immigration can strengthen a societies long-term viability.

But always, witness Europe and America for contemporary examples, the results bad immigration policies are severely damaging to the receiving socioculture.

From this emerges the penultimate question: Why has this Sick-Sociocultural-Cycle, of self-destruction by immigration continued through history, with little evidence that sociocultures have learned to avoid it?

In posing this question, I know that I have painted myself into a corner.

Sociocultural evolution is fiendishly and dauntingly complex. This, along with my own personal limitations, insures my failure to fully answer the question I have asked.

Never-the-less, I will provide what I have learned as a psychologist/researcher, a behavior therapist and an old man in hopes of contributing a few missing pieces to this great puzzle.

I hope you will stay-tuned for my next installment on this blog topic…coming soon.

“Black Lives Matter”!….White Lives Matter Too!

August 29, 2015

“Black Lives Matter”!….White Lives Matter too!

The following is more evidence that the “Black Lives Matter” attack upon America’s police and white racism, as a main source of black abuse and murder, is a socially destructive and deceitful lie.

I believe it is all a revolutionary tactic straight out of the Marxist and progressive/socialist’s tactical play-book.

The facts are that black behavior is strengthening white discomfort, distrust and fear of many blacks. Furthermore, this is a rational discomfort, distrust and fear, based upon real-life experiences and reliable data regarding black aggression and murder against whites.

Ashley Madison Reveals America!

August 28, 2015

Ashley Madison Reveals America!

One of my most difficult and  least enjoyable challenges as a behavior therapist is to try to help couples reconstruct the trust and love bonds in their marriages following an “affair”.

The “Ashley Madison” website advertises: Life is short. Have an affair.”

I can assure you that the pleasures of a few “rolls in the hay”, with someone new, will never equal the dread, depression, pain, fear, and anxiety that spreads to the spouse/mate, children and extended families of  the one that visited all of that on them by their lying and cheating infidelity.

When a couple (married or not) has young children, the non-cheating parent is often left in a near-hopeless situation: If they don’t remain with the cheater, how are they to finance and care for their innocent children all alone? The long court battles that often ensue normally deepen the trauma.

If the infidelity is not resolved between their parents, I can guarantee that the children involved will not remain innocent for long. Their emotional health is at high risk. See for yourself.

http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/fcs/pdfs/fcs482.pdf

Recovery from infidelity requires an enormous effort on everyone’s part to ever hope to forge a healthy family again. Off course, this can and does happen, but it is exceedingly difficult.

The facts are that the complex and corrupting influences of modernity and the waning influences of traditional religions have made it much more difficult for families to remain intact within all of Western Civilization. Whenever Secular Humanism has become the prevailing “religion” in a society, morals and ethics are on their way to hell, so to speak. This is what we are seeing up-close and personal in America.

“Straight Outta” Ferguson: “F” Words Included

 

“Straight Outta” Ferguson: “F” Words Included

Peggy Hubbard is a black woman who lives in Ferguson, Mo. She is sick and tired of the lie that is the “Black Lives Matter” movement, the misguided violence of black riots and the thousands of barbaric black-on-black murders ignored by America’s race-baiters, progressive/liberals and their propagandistic media.

I will let this brave woman, a Navy veteran I am proud to say, tell you “like it really is”!

Take your pick of the following identical videos.

N.W.A: Straight Outta Hell!

August 23, 2015

N.W.A: Straight Outta Hell!

Today three black kids around 14 to 16 years of age walked in font of my house and threw stones at my neighbor’s new large recreational vehicle parked in his driveway, across the street.

It was broad daylight and the unfolding scene felt unreal!

I ran to my front door and screamed at these punk delinquents to “get the hell outta here!” and they slowly move away while staring menacingly at me. One threateningly picked up a stone and glared at me as went.

Our neighborhood is primarily middle class in make-up, but a few blocks away is a lower-socioeconomic area and each summer our wooded area is rife with various unnerving illegal incidents.

I will put this brazen, menacing, in-your-face, hateful behavior within it’s sociocultural context.

America has had at least five “Post Racial” race riots during the 8 years of the Obama Administration. It should be clear that racial anger and strife has been catalyzed by the Obama progressive administration, his race-baiting cronies and his propaganda machine: Most of America’s news media.

During this time nearly every large city run by progressives has seen dramatic increases in levels of violence, racial tensions, and attacks upon police. Philadelphia, Ferguson, Chicago and New York City are several prime examples. See below:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2014/08/11/5-race-riots-in-obamas-post-racial-america/

And now, almost as if “on cue”, America’s poisonously corrupting entertainment media has piled-on with its recent release of “Straight Outta Compton”. A cultural influence which is, literally an figuratively, straight out outta hell.

On principle, I will not pay big money to see this movie in a theater. However, I will force myself to study this movie when it is available through cable. I will do so only because, for decades, I have studied many patterns of cultural decline and this genre of barbaric “entertainment” is just one of the many variables that both reflects and stimulates America’s deepening sociocultural decline.

I can assure you, I am not naive about the origins of this movie. As a college professor teaching classes on the psychology of America’s sociocultural decline, I played a few selections of N.W.A.’s Straight Outta Compton rap-songs for my students. This provided a new smidgen of real-world education for many of my young and adult middle-aged students.

I will commend the following lyrics to your consideration and hope your personal constitution is not too fragile to endure the experience. From among the following rap-songs,  you can pick your own cultural poison.

http://www.lyrics.com/straight-outta-compton-album-nwa.html

I have read that the new movie of the same name is a sanitized version of the N.W.A rap group’s original, album, “Straight Outta Compton”.

No matter, the ghetto ‘gangsta’ culture has now been rammed further-up into America’s mainstream and I assure you, no good will come of it.

If this new movie is anything remotely similar to N.W.A.’s album, and  if it inspires America’s disaffected youth, of all races, to purchase their old albums and other similar hateful, violence-spewing, misogynous rap-albums it will certainly stimulate similar behavior patterns that can only be described as Mindless barbarism.

V. Thomas Mawhinney, PH.D.

P.S. 1, In case you did not know N.W.A., stands for a now unforgivable pejorative synonym for “African-Americans”-(With- Attitudes). Unforgivable, that is, unless African Americans wantonly use that term themselves.

N.W.A. are the one’s that came up with this “N-word” symbolization…so don’t blame me.

P.S. 2, No, of course, I cannot specify the various factors that motivated the black-teen stone throwers. But, they sure did get me thinking!

“Open Border” Self-Destruction: A Universal Sick-Sociocultural-Cycle

August 20, 2015

“Open Border” Self-Destruction: A Universal Sick-Sociocultural-Cycle (Part One)

Perhaps you can help me to understand why anyone cannot see in advance that allowing massive immigration from poor, uneducated, corrupt, crime-ridden, women-abusing, child sex-abusing, chaos-ridden third-world counties would not badly damage  more advanced sociocultures.

I believe this is just another example of how a secular progressive ideology and practices inevitably lead to stupid, short-sighted, self-destructive behavior patterns among individuals and also at social and cultural levels.

My extensive readings about cultural decline inform me that, as cultures lose their organizing religions, their birthrates decline. If birthrates decline inevitably there comes a time when the work that must be done to sustain a socioculture can no longer be done by the indigenous population.

In cultures evolving to progressivism/socialism, there also comes a time when the indigenous population will not do the dirty and back-breaking labor necessary to sustain the socioculture, but for different reasons. It is inevitable that increasing proportions of the long-existing population will become increasingly dependent upon governmental largess and they will become increasingly unproductive. This not only impacts a growing lower-socioeconomic population, but it also reduces the segment of the population that is capable of creating, inventing, and strengthening at the socioculture’s higher levels.

These two major factors, separately or in combination (as they tend to occur), appear to best account for the easily anticipated, self-destructive delayed outcomes of this historically reoccurring sociocultural self-destruction by immigration.

But, there is much more to this story: The total explanation of this perennial sick-sociocultural-cycle of self-destruction will be found in the scientific field of Psychology. I will continue this analysis in my next blog.

The goals of science are the clear definition, explanation and control of the phenomena under study. While the science of psychology can accomplish the first two of these goals with the “open-boarder” sick-sociocultural-cycle, the third goal remains out-of-reach.

Below is an important world view of this sick-cycle of sociocultural self-destruction. It will also provide a clearer perspective of the consequences of America’s own suicidal immigration policies.

Sadly, America is now well-down the slippery slope of this universal “open-border” sick-sociocultural-cycle.

See for yourself!

Then vote accordingly in all coming elections.

Can You Define Progress?

August 18, 2015

Can You Define Progress?

This is not a trick question. I really want you to take a few minutes and try to define “Progress”.

I recently watched an important film entitled, Surviving Progress  produced by the Big Picture Media Corporation and available on Netflix.  Among the first thing they did in this documentary was to ask a number of people to define the word “progress”….this challenge was met with blank looks and it was never defined.

The people were simply stumped.

The documentary then went on to show that through history, sociocultures have developed various forms of technology (some primitive and others moving towards, and including modern technologies) that could be viewed as “progress”.

However, over-time wealth and power increasingly became concentrated in ruling classes and the majority of citizens grew poorer and more subjugated. As this “progress” unfolded, the sociocultures declined into incompetence, rebellion and/or conquest.

In all of this, history has repeated itself ad nauseam.

It is stunning to perceive this sick-sociocultual-cycle unfolding in all of the formerly great and  vibrant civilizations, now in decline during our own times on earth. This includes all of Western Civilizations and, more recently, America.

Clearly, it is important that we learn to recognize and define real progress. Obviously, increasing forms of technology does not suffice as a true example of “progress”. Real progress should not lead to the decline the socioculture in which it occurs. That should be named self-destruction.

I invite your best definitions of progress. I hope that some of my readers will take the time to send them to me in the comment’s section on this page.

In the meantime the following in my own best current attempt:

Progress is any evolution that increases the probability of a socioculture’s survival in both the short, intermediate, and long-term. True progress must lead to a socioculture’s increased viability.

The keen observer will note that in all of America’s cities and states that have adopted “progressive” political, economic and social practices (these are more micro-cultural evolutions), steep and continuing decline has occurred.

The astute observer will also recognize that as the whole of Western Civilization, including the U.S., has increasingly embraced “progressive” political, economic and social practices (macro- cultural evolutions), these civilizations have all fallen into a profound  mass-decline.

True progress has never been found within “progressive” political, economic and social practices: They are now, and have always been, true sociocultural suicide.

How can something precious, that has been lost, be found again?

To the degree that it is possible, we must return to the sociocultural practices, where we last observed it.

For a time, America had discovered true progress; thanks to the studied wisdom and courage of our Founding Fathers and the Conservative Constitutional form of Self-Governance they left to our safe-keeping.

Wake-Up America!

Hillary Clinton For President?

August 16, 2015

Hillary Clinton For President?

The following is something sent me by a good friend. It was a “forward” and something that had apparently been floating around the internet. I normally do not post such things on my blog, but this one is different.

I am old enough to recall the news coverage of the Clinton’s political years before and during Bill’s Presidency. I am therefore certain about  nearly all of the assertions put forward in the following statements.

My only uncertainties relate to the numbers that were quoted by the unknown author. These may or may not be correct. However, my own research validated the 850,000 dollar figure in the settlement for Paula Jones.

I am certain that in the main, the following is the truth about Bill and Hillary Clinton’s devious and shameful legacy.

Hillary Clinton for President? You had better hope not!

Note: I am sorry that I cannot correct the formatting of this internet communication. It is easily read, however.

_____________________________________________________________________

When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume
authority over health care reform. Even after threats and
intimidation, she couldn’t even get a vote in a Democrat-controlled
Congress. This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in
cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.

Then President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female
attorney general. Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood.
Both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration. Next she
chose Janet Reno. Husband Bill described her selection as “my worst
mistake.” Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas
David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas,
resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children.

Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of
the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guinier was her selection. When a
little probing led to the discovery of Ms. Guinier’s radical views,
her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.

Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some
more recommendations. She chose former law partners Webb Hubbell for
the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and
William Kennedy for the Treasury Department. Her selections went well:
Hubbell went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.

Many younger votes will have no knowledge of “Travelgate.” Hillary
wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry
Thompson, and the White House Travel Office refused to comply. She
managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired. This ruined their
reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a 36-month
investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale, was charged with a
crime, and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White
House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours.

Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to recommend
a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of
Director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated
for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies
(Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff,
suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone,
and of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House.
Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office
after more than thirty years of service to seven presidents.

Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual
harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the
“bimbo eruption” and scandal defense. One of her more notable
decisions in the debacle was: She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation they settled with Ms. Jones. {I believe the sum was $850,000.}

She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the
appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor. After $80 million of
taxpayer money was spent, Starr’s investigation led to Monica
Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
Bill Clinton was impeached but was not removed from office. On the day
before leaving office, Clinton agreed to a five-year suspension of his
Arkansas law license as part of an agreement with the independent
counsel to end the investigation. Based on this state bar suspension,
Clinton was automatically suspended from the United States Supreme
Court bar and allowed 40 days to appeal an otherwise-automatic disbarment; Clinton chose to
resign during the appeals period.}

Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice
during the Starr investigation by repeating, “I do not recall,” “I
have no recollection,” and “I don’t know” a total of 56 times while under oath.

After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an
estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen.

What a swell party! Ready for another four-or eight-year of this type
low-life mess?

Now we are exposed to the destruction of possibly incriminating emails
while Hillary was Secretary of State and the “pay to play” schemes of
the Clinton Foundation.

We have no idea what shoe will fall next. But to her loyal fans:
“What difference does it make?”

Electing Hillary Clinton president would be like granting Satan
absolution and giving him the keys to heaven!
