Barley, Bears, and Bathrooms

First, Barley. 

There are no more than a handful of history minded individuals that have any idea who Trofim Lysenko was. Yes, that was his real name and it is a scary photo.

He was a Russian scientist born in 1898. He quickly gained recognition and was promoted to director of the Institute of Genetics within the USSR's Academy of Sciences in his early 40's. He was a rock star in the scientific community of the Soviet Union and a favorite of Josef Stalin, the Soviet leader.

What was his secret to success? He came up with a "new theory" of genetics. He laid aside the proven theories of Gregor Johann Mendel of how plants pass on genetic traits to their offspring in favor of his own ideas.

Lysenko believed that he could change the genetic code of plants to the point he could make peas grow outside in the Siberian winter or change barley into wheat. His ideas flew in the face of decades of peer-reviews and hundreds of scientific papers on the subject. But, since he was the pet of Stalin, the man who was personally responsible for the deaths of over 20 million of his own people, he was able to have any criticism of his work classified as heresy, forbidden, and punishable by prison or death.

It took 40 years, the complete collapse of Russian agriculture, and the continued starvation of the Russian people, before the country was able to admit that he was absolutely wrong. With the country starving in the early 1960's, and Russia forced to purchase half of the wheat needed to feed their people from the United States, he was "retired" to a farm outside Moscow.

For a long time, any mistaken idea not based on science or research, was known as "Lysenkoism".


Second, Bears.

In 2006, Al Gore released a film called, "An Inconvenient Truth". This documentary claimed that 2500 climate scientist had signed on supporting this concept that man was destroying the earth with the creation so carbon dioxide and that within a few short decades, global warming would destroy mankind.

Governments, celebrities, and the media grabbed on to this concept as the greatest dramatic news story of the ages. Recycling became vogue, polluters were vilified, and the world was rocked back on its heels.

Now, 10 years later, even as the media continues to pound home the veracity of his prophecies, half of the original scientist who "signed on" as supporters have recanted. We can also document that most of his predictions have failed to come to pass.

1. Temperatures have remained consistent or lowered around the world.

2. Both poles are still covered with ice.

3. Polar bears and other arctic life still thrive.

4. The past 5 years have seen the lowest number of hurricanes and violent storms ever.

5. Climate change researchers have continually been discovered manipulating data to support their desired outcomes.


There were 2 good things that resulted from Gore's alarmist statements:

1. We have become more conscious of conserving, recycling, and striving to preserve the earth.

2. Al Gore has made hundreds of millions of dollars from the "carbon selling exchanges" he created just before he released the film.

But still, it is Lysenkoism, cronyism, and profiteering.


Lastly, Bathrooms.

I don't know if you see the pattern here? Barley, bears, and now bathrooms.

The newest craze to hit the world is the de-gentrification of mankind or the "transgender con". I don't know exactly who pulled this piece of feces out of the toilet, but they are bent on convincing everyone that "some people are born with penises and some people are born with vaginas, but everyone chooses whether they are a man or a woman."

It is odd that the "gender assignists" are adamant that a person should be able to choose their gender, but they then classify gender by the desire to do tasks that have been assigned to genders by society for millennia. In other words;

1. If you like pink, 
2. Are not aggressive, 
3. And like to dress-up, 
4. You are a female. 

1. If you like blue, 
2. Love to break things, 
3. And don't care whether your clothes match, 
4. You are a male.

I like pink and blue, I love to break things and then fix them, I hate aggression and confrontation, and I don't really care what I wear, as long as it is comfortable. That makes me . . . ? It makes me, David. I can always tell what my gender is when I use the bathroom or shower.

Contrary to intellectual manipulation, gender is not based on what you like to do. Gender is connected with your biological sex. It defines what you do as a provider, mentor, and parent in a home. The reason gender is under attack is because of the desire to crush the family. If Progressives can destroy gender, they have obliterated the family. That is their ultimate goal.

This effort to re-define the human race has:

1. No empirical data to study, 
2. No collaborated research, and
3. No peer reviewed studies. 

It is a social experiment being pushed on the world by well-meaning, but mistaken activists.

This is a train-wreck in the making. It is already confusing many people, even the ones they are trying to help. We now have gender for a day people; they are one day male, the next day female, and vice versa.

Some are even trying to sue their co-workers if they fail to address them by their gender preference of the day.

There have always been people who are confused.
There have always been people with genuine biological issues.
There have always been people with social issues that make integration difficult.
There have always been too many people who are critical, abusive, and degrading of others.

These are all problems that need to be addressed individually and not legislated nationally. Destroying the family will only aggravate these issues.

Let's stop this crazy Lysenkoism experiment before we regret it.
