The Brattleboro Selectboard Un-Candidate #38

     What evidence do you have that fills you with such hate for the white supremacists at Charlottesville and then for the free speechers at Boston?
If you are one of the above haters, please contact me at 352-359-0850 or peternickerson12@yahoo.com and give me the evidence to justify your furor.
     My budget does not allow the internet or television so I have to depend upon what little I see of Fox News and other news stations while I'm at the gym. I also have a radio for The John Bachelor Show and read the Wall Street Journal and the Reformer. So I'm not blind but all I have seen at Charlottesville was leftist collectivists calling themselves antifascists but acting just like them and rightist collectivists calling themselves white supremacists fighting each other with sticks and poles. Specifically, what little I saw was of a group of leftist collectivists going after the rightist collectivists who seemed to be defending the confederate flag. I hear that the leftists also had an improvised flame-thrower and at Boston they threw rocks and urine filled bottles at the police. Why the criminal behavior in Boston at the police? What did they have to do with anything but enforcing law and order?
An obvious white supremacist ran over with his car about thirteen people, killing one. Is that your evidence for wanting to injure, perhaps kill, others for expressing their ideas? Obviously, you want your ideas to prevail and apparently think they are perfect as you want to shut down other ideas. Are all of you radical Muslims? Convert or die? Is that what's going on? You can't stand the challenge to your ideas, so you have to shut down free speech? What cowards you are and how un-American you are! What has driven you to such cowardice and tyranny? Is it all mental illness that suddenly happened to thousands. Is there something driving it beyond lies, shallowness of thought, and denial of information and context? Are we have another wave of hysteria like seeing witches riding sticks in the colonial skies? It sounds like it.
     My theory is the massive hysteria is caused first by the alienation from nature and therefore reality that is caused in city living. Too many of us are city dwellers but don't move to the woods and take what little woods are left for the other twenty-two thousand species of plants and animals who want to live too. Secondly, I think Trump is literally driving the leftists into crazed hysteria because he's still there as president and still tweeting. Nothing yet has worked to get him out of office. Indeed, the stock market is booming, more jobs are being filled than in fifty years, and he is trying to strengthen our military before North Korea, Iran, and Red China nuke us. That is the third reason for your hysteria: we have two countries - collectivist communist North Korea and collectivist fundamentalist Muslim Iran- openly saying they are going to nuke us as soon as they have the capability. In that the collectivist leaders are still alive in these two countries is enough to make anyone hysterical with fear. To add to the third reason, we have collectivist communist Red China becoming increasingly war-like. And they already have the nukes. To top that, the collectivist leftists in America have changed from lovers of the Soviet Union's slave state and are now becoming increasingly belligerent to their former lover. This is not good as the collectivist mobster Putin has plenty of nukes. It's enough to drive anyone insane with worry as none of our American leaders have the guts to recognize the hard truths and reassure us something is being done about it. We can assume Trump has woken up to the reality that we cannot let the fundamentalist Muslims have Afghanistan. and we must build up our Obama-ravaged military if we are to survive the booming Red Chinese military.
     Hey, if you like what I've written, send or call me with some love. There's got to be some freedom lovers (for the individual not the self-serving government employees or the mobs of criminals or the collectivists who want to vote their way into every wealthy person's pockets) out there. No? Then please send your hate instead. It's time I toughened up, especially when running for selectboard in a town almost exclusively leftist. Try to give any evidence you have for causing your violent, freedom-hating, free-speech hating thoughts or emotions (I was never fooled by the left's phony love of diversity. It was all just for blacks, females, and alternatives to heterosexuality.). Evidence is God and every woman a Queen and every man a King. Or the other way around if you prefer. Thanks, Peter "Nick" Nickerson 352-359-0859 or peternickerson12@yahoo.com P.S. To the guy who yelled at me "I see shit!" be strong enough to tell me what your evidence is so I can have something to work on and won't think you were just on your way to the Retreat and couldn't restrain your emoting until you got there. Little boy, call or email me. P.P.S. Look, haters, I'm a frightened rabbit trying to become a charging lion. Give me your hate and toughen me up! Naaa-na-na-na-na! Tell me what you've got! Even if it sounds like a physically mature, two year older! Naaa-na-na-na-na! Get down, brothers and sisters and tell me what's eating you! Get down!

     Earlier this week, I was driving north up Putney Road, just beyond the stoplight at Hannaford when the driver in an approaching car yelled as he went by me, "I see shit!" The most plausible explanation I have for his behavior is that he has seen my Bigfoot sign on the back of my truck and doesn't like it. Another one of the hysterically intolerant.
     Taking a large view, there are good reasons for such hysteria. First, we are faced with Iran and North Korea openly building nuclear bombs and missiles in an attempt to destroy America and more importantly for the collective mental health of America, we are doing nothing about it. Thus, we have threat met with passivity: the perfect mix for hysteria. We know we are about to die, and no one has the chutzpah to do anything about it. Who wouldn't be hysterical or seeking other forms of escape such as drugs and alcohol? Secondly, there is not only Iran and North Korea trying to get the weapons and platforms to destroy us, but also the hostile countries of Russia and Red China. And they already have the means for our annihilation. Third, we have the radical Islamists who are trying to destroy everybody and everything that is not seventh century Muslim. These highly intelligent -except when it comes to their faith- people are also racing to use any means including the nuclear bomb to destroy America. The fourth reason for our hysteria is that most Americans are living in cities and are losing their grip on reality because there is very little reality in urban life that is not anthropogenic - made by man. Their reality is all man-made, artificial and rigidly controlled by man. City man and women are living in a solipsistic world. Testing is showing that the newest generation, the iGeneration, comprising 25% of the population, would rather have a virtual relationship than a person to person one. Due to that, this generation has unprecedented depression and suicides because the young people have chosen to live in bell jars. Like all hysterics, they fear for their safety in spite of America being far safer than in the past. Like all hysterics, they seek strong people to order them around. Like fearful hysterics, they are very threatened and intolerant of any idea or person who doesn't agree with them. They are so fragile that they even fear having feelings because feelings can hurt! In a perennial state of agitated depression, these late teen and early twenty-somes find it difficult to read or study. With kids like these, we Boomers can't afford to die and leave our country in their weak, trembling hands!
     As I tried to make plain in my articles about college kangaroo courts for so-called sexual abuse, parents have to start acting as more than money milk cows for their children. Look into these issues, and make judgements that these kangaroo courts and allowing your child to grow up on smart phones are evil, and stop them. You parents are going to have to devote some effort to raising your children beyond earning money. Children need and profit from good discipline. Doesn't the Millennials and the iGeneration's desire for authoritarianism tell you that? Kids that age should be rebelling from authority and exploring the world and all its ideas. Instead, they want to remain babies so someone will discipline them and make them feel loved and safe. They want boundaries because you parents didn't raise them with any. Do your jobs, parents and be parents. Not buddies or best friends. Don't listen to the perverted, weak experts, professionals, and mainstream media.
     When I was doing a lot of fishing on the Outer Banks, North Carolina, the best advice I got was to watch what the fisherman who was catching fish was doing and do exactly that. Then you'd start catching fish too. My advice to you is to find parents raising strong and healthy children and do what they did. I have another word of advice for promoting reality, critical thinking, and good judgement in your children, and it is something that can be done as a family: Take up birding or bird study. Buy Nikon Monarchs, 8 power, for about $300 unless you want the very best, like Leica at $1,000. Make sure each person has a good bird book with actual pictures to refer to. This is where reality is taught, by using the bird books which teach you not only what the bird looks like but his distinctive markers.
Encourage discussion with respect for the bird guide as the deciding authority. You will be teaching your children to seek evidence and decide on the basis of evidence not emotionality. Leave all phones in the vehicle except one for highly unlikely emergencies. Treat your kids to ice cream or something they like after each birding expedition for positive reinforcement. Now go do it! Good luck!

     and women, an inferior human, know that men are rapacious yet still go on dates with them, just as moths are drawn to their fiery deaths by a naked light bulb. Other lies are that as women are inferior to men, they are too fragile emotionally to withstand answering questions during a cross-examination, and are too weak to tolerate the mere presence of their accused in the same hearing room. Unlike men, they are not expected to face their supposed victimizer.
     As students become habituated to this delusional system being pushed by men-hating feminist Title IX coordinators and college administrators and put into motion by President Barrack Obama, these delusions will permeate our culture as waves of emotionally disturbed seniors graduate and began the "adulting" world. Hysteria is contagious, and the adult world will catch it as former students tell about their "victimizations" on campuses. Adults already cowed by political correctness from the leftists will generally not have the courage to ask for evidence. Instead, the groundless allegations and stories of men's unrestrainable sexual bestiality will be accepted because they are so awful. Therefore, they must be true. A hysterical groundswell will ensue in which Western Civilization will accept Muslin barbarity and irrationality and demand complete segregation of the sexes. Women will be kept at home (haram) or in rigidly controlled dormitories. If allowed in public, they will have to do what the women slaves to Muslim already do in many countries: they will be required to wear portable tents to ensure that not a piece of flesh or hair is visible to inflame the uncontrollable male lust. The world will be sharply divided into roosters and hens, with hens subservient to roosters for their survival.
     Men, as the superior of women, will run the world and keep a rooster's eye out for "loose" women they can legitimately rape and even seize for continued sexual pleasure. Welcome to the seventh century and Sharia law!

     Dear Future Constituents,
     You may know I have been very worried about you young people, their parents, friends, and community regarding the college kangaroo trials. In case you don't watch Fox News, the young man accused by the Columbia University mattress girl has just settled with Columbia on civil charges that Columbia was biased against him. Betsy DeVos is reviewing these wholly unjust, un-Western kangaroo courts. Let's hope she hasn't been neutered by the howl of demeaning things said about her by the leftists when she was nominated for Secretary of Education. For the record, I am an individualist and belong to the Evedentist Party - ''Show me the evidence." Beginning with the next sentence, I want you to read what I sent the Wall Street Journal about Title lX being Obama's Trojan Horse for Sharia Law, and since it hasn't appeared in the WSJ, here we go!
     Barack Obama may have the last laugh with the Affordable Care Act, but he has also left behind Trojan horses filled with Sharia soldiers on American campuses. He has done this through his "Dear Colleagues" letter and his man-eating, feminist Title IX Coordinators. Obama has created, by using fundamentalist Islamic, and therefore, berserk ideas about human beings, a terrifying and simplistic delusional system. University students are being ruled by these delusions and becoming increasingly habituated to them. These ideas include: the college campus is a rape culture; all men are by nature rapists ...TO BE CONTINUED. In the meantime, may you be healthy, prosperous, strong, and evidence- seeking. It's a hard world. Good luck! Peter Nickerson, 352-359-0858

     Kate O'Connor introduced the panhandling issue by saying we were not to discuss "spin-offs," and we were to be" compassionate". I should have asked her to define spin-offs and compassion as I, as a literalist, felt shutdown. For example, the crazy college children and their crazy-makers -university professors and administrators- claim that any views different from theirs are "violence." What then does "compassionate" mean here in Brattleboro?
     The chief of police suggested a team consisting of a cop and a social worker approach each beggar and try to find out why she is begging. Then the team will suggest options to panhandling to get what she wants. This is not to be intimidation, and I hope it remains that way. I see the main problems of beggars as addiction, poverty, and mental/emotional problems and believe in re-opening the state mental hospitals which were ostensibly closed because of hysteria that they were "warehouses of people." I wonder if their closings were a scheme of the Republicans to have the government spend less money so taxes could go down and government could get smaller. Forget the mentally ill and the addicted!
     Groundworks made a survey of eight beggars out of eleven contacted and found they were only making twenty dollars a day. Kate has promised future discussions about panhandling.

     I've asked where Betty DeVos is with allowing the Title IX college kangaroo courts to persist. Apparently, she is hors de combat from the leftist hissy fit over her nomination to the Secretary of Education job, and any hope of strength and morality will have to come from the acting head of the Office of Civil Rights, Candice Jackson. She has reversed a secret decision by her man-hating predecessor, Catherine Lhamon, who ordered that whenever an accuser appealed a finding of not guilty (that can't be - all men are rapists!) the school where that appeal took place would have all its previous sexual assault cases reviewed to make sure that as many men got found guilty as possible. In other words, double, triple, and on and on, jeopardy.
     Just like the seventy-two year old man in 1692 Salem was pressed to death with stones because he was accused by "the girls" of being a witch because five of the girls -the core accusers in Salem- saw him riding his dog in the sky. As soon as he admitted his guilt, the rocks would be taken off. This man, as fate would have it, was an extremely rare individual. He had never felt frightened in his life so he endured the torture of barely being able to breathe under the stones for three days until he physically weakened and was suffocated by the weight on his chest. The judge was counting on the old man becoming terrified and "confessing." The old man didn't do terrified. Imagine that! Should have been a Seal. The godly Puritans gave him four pieces of the worst bread they had on the first day, and on the second, he got three handfuls of water from a puddle. All in the name of righteousness! The dog was summarily shot for being a witch. You wouldn't dare not believe the child, would you? You wouldn't dare not believe the victim, would you? Are you sane or sumpthin? Just keeping slouching down to Gomorrah, comrade.
     Hot on the trail of witches dancing in their empty heads, thirty-four Democrat senators have sent a letter to the Department of Education protesting not digging up old hearings to see if there isn't some way to declare male teenagers and young men guilty of sexual assault so they can be kicked out of school, be labeled sex perverts, and never get into another college or have a job. This is America? I think it is a precursor to Sharia, which is why Obama pushed it on us, and I think it is why, though abhorrent to Western civilization and to American ideals specifically, the college kangaroo courts are sticking around. They have a lot of despicable, but extremely powerful, supporters. I hope to develop this more with you.

     I called the town's garbage collector, Triple T, and found that our plastic bags do not end up in the ocean, contributing to outnumber the fishes. No such drama. Sorry. Instead, the bags go to either of two landfills, one in Vermont, and the other in New Hampshire or they go to an incinerator. They are not recycled because they are too light for the Triple T machinery. We could ask Triple T if they can afford to purchase that equipment or we could try another garbage collection. That addresses Kate O'Connor's objection to plastic bags.
     David Scholes' objection was about the bad things that went on in the production of plastic bags. Pending finding out about hideous things going on, I going to say that all production has its costs. Producing reusable bags has its costs too.
     I've also heard from a school administrator that there is a damning film about plastic bags that students must see year after year. If this is a brainwashing thing, I don't know if facts and logic make any difference. If facts and logic do contribute to your sacred feelings, then I would be against this totalitarian ban.
