Allow me to read from Ephesians 6:10-18 (King James Version)
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may
be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of
God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to
stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt
about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of
the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints;
So, permit me to tell you my story as the backdrop for today’s
discussion. I had two major passions in my former life, by night and on weekends
I booked and hosted roots music shows and events where I had the unmerited privilege
of sitting in with the very best in the business while by day, I trained workers
and their bosses in workplace organization and problem-solving methodologies.
That is when I was able to find work doing such after retiring after 33 years
from General Motors St. Catharines where I was a Quality Systems Resource in
the GEN III/IV Engine Plant. Although both gigs are behind me now, I am unable
to forget why I genuinely enjoyed doing both.
Regarding music, I loved to provide a forum where gifted
artists were able to tell their story since the root’s music, if nothing else,
tells stories about the common man and woman. And regarding workplace
organization and problem solving, I am of the belief that it is essential for workers
to be provided with the tools and information to do their jobs safely and correctly
the first time. Moreover, to provide them with the means to troubleshoot the
inevitable quality issues that crop up in production settings. A chief motivation
for doing such was due to the fact this so seldom happens in the workplace.
Management teams all too often simply do not understand the shop floor, spend
too little time there, and have an abysmal view of their workforce. I am therefore
very much a man of the common people. I understand them because I am one of
them. So I sought to provide the workforce with useful training and tools which
could help them navigate the nonsense lamentably so often inherent in the
workplace.
But the path to success and continuous improvement is not
easy so permit me to read from Sir Walter Scott’s poem about my ancient ancestor
“Thomas the Rhymer” which metaphorically speaks to why the righteous path is fraught
with difficulties:
"O see ye not yon narrow road,
So thick beset with thorns and briers?
That is the path of righteousness,
Tho after it but few enquires.
"And see ye not that braid braid road,
That lies across that lily leven?
That is the path of wickedness,
Tho some call it the road to heaven.
The road to heaven is indeed fraught with thorns and briars,
therefore so I am writing this in the hopes of helping you to map a path for
yourself through the prevailing Postmodern, Neo-Marxist mindset that has infected
our politics today which has in turn completely captured much of the younger generation.
So, as a musician I will tell you that story while as someone trained in root
cause analysis, I hope to provide you an understanding of the nature of our
ideological battle for the heart and minds of our fellows. Many of you who
watch this channel may be familiar that I often state that there can be no
political solution to a moral, philosophical, and spiritual crisis. Since any
fool can tell you what is wrong, but it takes an expert to address the problem
at its root cause to assign documented corrective actions. So that is my goal,
to define the problem as succinctly and simply as I can then to additionally equip
you with the tools you will need to counter the problem of ideological
possession.
We are living witnesses to a form of mass hysteria which
has taken hold of society to infect our institutions with utter ideological nonsense.
To understand the nature of this possession, we must begin with the Academy and
its use of the dialectical philosophy of a German philosopher named Hegel. So let
us examine how Hegel’s dialectical thinking has often been employed to help create
the murderous tyrannies so prevalent in the 20th Century since the Hegelian
Dialectic has been used by virtually all authoritarians in one form or at least
to some extent to create the mental disorders of mass delusional ideation necessary
to support totalitarian tyranny.
RE: Nazism/Fascism
The Hegelian dialectic, with its emphasis on conflict
leading to synthesis, influenced some aspects of Nazi ideology, particularly in
their use of propaganda and manipulation of public opinion. However, it's
important to note that Nazism was a complex ideology with multiple influences,
including social Darwinism, racism, nationalism, and totalitarianism. While
elements of dialectical thinking can be identified in Nazi propaganda, it would
be reductionist to attribute the entirety of Nazism to Hegelian philosophy. Nevertheless,
it played a significant role in creating the propaganda machine.
Hitler's propaganda machine was primarily orchestrated by
the **Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda**, led by **Joseph
Goebbels**¹². This Ministry developed a program of propaganda that infiltrated
every area of German life and was cleverly tailored to appeal to various groups
in the population². All forms of media, education, industry, and scientific activity
were used to propagate National Socialist ideals². Hitler himself frequently
appeared in mass rallies to arouse nationalist fervor by delivering the
propaganda in person². The key themes of National Socialist propaganda were the
supremacy and racial purity of the German people and their betrayal by both
foreign aggressors and enemies who had infiltrated their country². The
propaganda used by the German Nazi Party in the years leading up to and during
Adolf Hitler's dictatorship of Germany from 1933 to 1945 was a crucial
instrument for acquiring and maintaining power, and for the implementation of
Nazi policies¹.

RE: How Neo-Marxism infected the Academy which
lies upstream of all our institutions
The Hegelian dialectic played a significant role in the
development of Neo-Marxist critical theory, particularly through the work of
thinkers like Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and later,
Jürgen Habermas. These thinkers drew on Hegel's dialectical method to critique
capitalist society and explore possibilities for social transformation.
In Hegel's dialectic, contradictions lead to the
development of new ideas or systems. Similarly, Neo-Marxist critical theorists
applied this framework to analyze the contradictions and conflicts within
capitalist societies, such as exploitation, alienation, and oppression.
For example, Marcuse's concept of "repressive
tolerance" can be understood as a dialectical critique of liberal
democracy, arguing that the tolerance of oppressive ideas and practices
perpetuates social inequalities. Adorno and Horkheimer's work on the
"culture industry" examined how capitalist mass media and culture
reinforce domination and homogenization while suppressing dissent.
Overall, while not every aspect of Neo-Marxist critical
theory directly mirrors Hegel's dialectic, the influence of dialectical
thinking is evident in their approach to analyzing and critiquing societal
structures and dynamics.
In what ways is WOKE influenced by Neo-Marxism
and Hegel's Dialectical thinking?
The term "Woke" is often used to describe a
perceived awareness of issues that concern social justice and racial justice¹².
It is influenced by a variety of philosophical and sociological theories,
including Neo-Marxism and Hegelian dialectics¹².
1. **Neo-Marxism**: Neo-Marxism expands upon
traditional Marxist ideology. Neo-Marxists apply Marxist thinking to modern
issues like race, gender, and sexual orientation, leading to an emphasis on
identity politics¹². Many principles of the "Woke" movement align
with Neo-Marxist thoughts, especially the focus on power structures and the
belief that these structures can be oppressive¹².
2. **Hegelian Dialectics**: Hegelian dialectics
involve the process of change in which a concept (thesis) evolves over time to
meet its contradiction (antithesis), ultimately leading to a resolution
(synthesis)¹². This can be seen in the "Woke" movement's approach to
societal change. The movement often positions itself as a counter (antithesis)
to existing societal norms (thesis) and seeks to bring about a new societal
understanding (synthesis)¹².
It's important to note that while these philosophical
theories can influence movements like "Woke", they do not define them
entirely. The "Woke" movement, like any social movement, is complex
and influenced by a variety of factors, including historical context, cultural
trends, and individual perspectives¹².

The parasitic nature of Hegelian Dialectical thinking.
Years ago, I was warned by a Saxophonist who was a Neo-Marxist
Brock Child Studies Professor by the name of Dr. Hans Skott-Myhre that Critical
Theorists were going to take over our cultural institutions. He referred to
this as “the long march through the institutions” which is a phrase certainly not
coined by him. This was prior to me moving to Norway so my conversation with
Dr. Hans must have taken place in late 2011 or early 2012. By the late summer
of 2012, I had come into contact with my future wife while we were both working
on developing a course on business integrity and effective management practices
that had been launched by our mutual friend Doug Ross. Doug had been a consultant
at General Motors whom I met while I was still working in the quality
department. Doug and I had discussed working together in the future as consultants.
Since I was retired when I met Anne-Siri and since we had subsequently fallen
in love, we both felt it would be prudent for me to move to Norway where we
could both continue working on our program with the hopes of selling our
training in Norway. It was in Norway that we would eventually be wed. The
course failed to take hold in a country where virtually everything is tightly
controlled by the state, so Anne-Siri continued with her career employed as a Senior
Adviser in the Norwegian Defence Department.
Norway was challenging for me simply because the more a
bureaucracy metastasises the more inefficient and cumbersome it will become. I won’t
bore you with the details as to how difficult it was for us to navigate an
immigration system that even those who control it seem not to understand. This
is the inevitable result of the administrative state which is inherent to
socialism where Hegel’s Dialectical reasoning has assured them that the bigger
a monster grows the easier it will be to keep it in a cage. Something which we
now see here in Canada where Trudeau’s administrative bureaucracy has grown far
beyond manageability.
Let us look then at Canada since Justin Trudeau's election
in 2015, the Canadian federal bureaucracy has grown significantly. By 2022, it
had grown by 27 percentage points, which put it nine percentage points ahead of
population growth¹². This rapid growth of the bureaucracy started well before
the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2021¹². The cost of maintaining the federal
bureaucracy has also risen alongside its employee head count. Operational
spending for the public service grew steadily from $87.5 billion in the 2019-20
fiscal year to $115.9 billion in 2021–22 — a 32-per-cent increase³. Please note
that these figures can change over time and may not include all aspects of the
bureaucracy.

So, as I statednNorway was a tough nut for me to crack
since I simply couldn’t understand their social collectivist mindset, but it
wasn't until Anne-Siri told me about the Frankfurt School back in 2014 that I
truly began to appreciate how insidious the ideology of Critical Theory is based
as it is on seeing the world through a Dialectical lens. The fact that this
mindset has gone on to capture the minds of the great investment bankers, high
tech executives, the pharmaceutical industry and multinational conglomerate
boardrooms to create a new form of corporate fascism which has grafted itself,
no infected like mistletoe the host that it will eventually kill, is proof man
cannot see past his own nose when he rejects the Grand Narrative about God to
see the world through Hegel’s lens!
My Conclusions:
We are witnessing an emergent global tyranny which combines
all the totalizing ideologies of the 20th Century seen through Hegel’s
Dialectical lens. I have coined it “Marxofascism” since we are witnessing the near
perfect blending of ideas which have divided mankind into victims versus
oppressors with the entire enterprise being driven by “Big Pharma” in league
with multinational conglomerates and investment bankers who in turn are in
league with Communist China with the goal of destroying Western Culture to
return us to serfdom! Amazingly the ideologically possessed fools behind this
totalizing enterprise have hidden its actual outcome by disguising it in
language of liberation, diversity, equity, and inclusion while simultaneously
creating an atmosphere of total thought control to maintain their false
narrative! It is up to us to deconstruct this false narrative. Will you join me
in replacing this false narrative with the Grand Narrative upon which Western
Christianity is founded?
And as for the ultimate end game of this ideological
possession. Our betrayal to Communist China is complete. What all the evidence
pointed toward has been confirmed. The Canadian government helped to fund the
research which led to the release of a bioweapon, whether accidentally or
deliberately, it matters little. Treasonous Trudeau obviously answers to
Beijing.
Xiangguo Qiu, one of the scientists who was fired from
Winnipeg’s high-security laboratory, was involved in gain-of-function research
at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a recently declassified intelligence
document shows.
Our own government has used our tax dollars to assist in
funding the People’s Liberation Army to create a bioweapon in Wuhan while both
the Liberals and NDP have voted against investigating this treason. If we do
not stop this ideological idiocy that already has wreaked untold harm on us
there will be nothing left to recover. Our ideological enemies have unleashed
not just a deadly pathogen, they have also helped to infect our universities
with ideas used to foment a cultural revolution to destroy us spiritually from
within!
I will read from an opinion letter published in the Calgary
Sun on March 4th, 2024, to finish my thoughts for today.
Letters for March 4, 2024: 'An effort to
suppress opinions needs to be struck down.'
These bills a dangerous sign
Re: NDP seeks to suppress speech about climate
change and fossil fuels, Kenneth Green column, Feb. 21
Bill C-367 would be a fatal blow to “freedom of
religion” and freedom of expression. Now it is persecution of Christians. Who
is next? You!
This bill should never see the light of day.
Bill C-372 — NDP Charlie Angus tabled this
private member’s bill — would destroy freedom of expression in Canada. If you
dare to express negative thoughts about the government’s “fossil fuel-fuel
phobia,” question climate change or promote fossil fuels, you could be jailed
for one year and it could cost you $750,000.
Religious freedom and freedom of expression are
the foundations of our democracy, and restricting them would destroy the fabric
of Canadian society.
Kenneth Green (Fraser Institute) writes,
“Canada is a constitutional parliamentary democracy where differences of
opinion are to be resolved through elections, where people are persuaded by
word and ideas, not threats of violence.” He continues that the public must
become politically engaged to prevent power from being entrenched in the hands
of politicians or political activists with “extreme views” who believe that
opposing views or beliefs must be suppressed by “force.”
Pay attention, Canada, before our democracy is
all but destroyed. You will not be happy if the radicals succeed — then it will
be too late to speak up and register your objections.

Sue government, sue us
Here is a question that should not sit well in
anyone’s mind if you are a taxpayer in this country: Should any person or group
have the right to sue the government?
In reality, you are suing me and everyone else
who pays taxes.
Most of us will have had nothing to do with
whatever they are suing us for, yet we will be forced to pay. Maybe, instead,
make the people who were responsible be held accountable because the billions
upon billions that we are forced to pay for ineptitude is breaking our backs
(or should I say, our banks).
At the very least we need a conversation about
this.
Wayne Boyce
(Holding politicians to account is an ongoing
struggle.)
Yes, holding politicians accountable is an ongoing struggle
due to the fact that they never suffer the consequences of the godless ideology
which motivates them yet also because the ideologically possessed population which
follows them have rejected the narrative upon which our liberty was founded. We
are witnessing a generation possessed by delusional ideation made possible by
resentful fools who have twisted Hegel’s Dialectical tool into a weapon of oppression!
It is as Sir Walter Scott stated in his poem “Thomas the
Rhymer”
And see ye not that braid braid road,
That lies across that lily leven?
That is the path of wickedness,
Tho some call it the road to heaven.
Our ideologically possess political leaders who are in
league with the unholy elements behind this totalizing enterprise have sold the
world a path of wickedness while calling the hell they are creating heaven!
