War On Drugs Is A Waste Of Time

Have you ever wondered why the "war on drugs" never seems to accomplish anything good? Read this report and you may begin to understand why:

https://news.vice.com/en_us/article/9k4dap/el-chapos-trial-is-revealing-the-futility-of-the-war-on-drugs

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest this situation persists because the powers that be are and always have been in cahoots with the cartels. The flow of drugs will continue no matter what; the rich will siphon off their cut; and we poor slobs at the bottom will continue to sell our souls to keep the whole evil machine running.

What a country !!!

Remembering Muammar Gaddafi

Here are some positive things about Muammar Gaddafi which you may not have known:

https://www.globalresearch.ca/libya-ten-things-about-gaddafi-they-dont-want-you-to-know/5414289

I think the lesson here is that international bankers and corporations will not allow ANYONE to use their nation's resources to benefit their people. Everything is subject to be stolen to benefit mainly the international elite (i.e., the rich).

And note well the sycophantic MSM is able to paint just about ANYONE as a vile person ... and almost all of you will believe it, in spite of the evidence. THAT is the true meaning of the term "fake news".

FBI Continues To Protect HRC

Can anyone please explain WHY the FBI continues to protect Hillary and other members of the Clinton Crime Family?

The FBI conducted a six-hour raid on the home of a recognized Justice Department whistleblower who had confidentially submitted documents related to the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One to a government watchdog, according to the Daily Caller, citing the whistleblower's attorney.

US Demographic Trends

Here are some facts and projections from Michael Snyder:

I would not call these trends "shocking", but they will be influential. This is no longer your Daddy's America.

Churches Dying In America

You can read about it here:

But witchcraft is on the rise:

https://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2018/11/witchcraft-on-rise.html

All one has to do is watch TV or go to the movies to confirm why this is happening - Hollywood is feeding us filth and abomination.

And who runs Hollywood? I suspect they are in bed with the US government and its agencies, especially the CIA.

The Sharing Economy Belongs To The Rich

Here is a good description of why the sharing economy now belongs to the rich:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/nov/27/airbnb-city-bikes-sharing-economy-big-money

You didn't think it would be THAT easy to escape their control, did you? They didn't get rich by being stupid.

Congress DOES Have Priorities

You can read about them here:

Can anyone tell me how these initiatives benefit We the People? I'd really like to know.

GE And GM Are Screwed

Here is why General Electric and General Motors are both headed toward bankruptcy:

Greedy, incompetent, and irresponsible management ... but that seems to be par for the course in the USA these days.

Polio And AFM - What's The Connection ???

Here is an excerpt from a MUST-READ report about polio and AFM:

Studying the above chart, data sets jump out!  The “spike” periods appear to occur during the months when children are preparing to return to school and are told they must comply with the CDC’s vaccine schedule in order to attend school in their respective states per state health department regulations, i.e., August through October in the years 2014, 2016 and 2018.

Note well the claims made by the author about the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Beware rich people bearing "gifts". They often stem from a murderous agenda.

Electing Morons To Congress

Is A O-C really this dumb? Something tells me she is:

https://dailycaller.com/2018/11/25/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-migrant-holocaust/

Dear Alex - Who do you think is responsible for this "holocaust", if that even is what it should be called? There are two main causal factors:

1. So-called "free trade"; and
2. The US hunger for illegal drugs.

If you want to solve the immigration problem, attack and eliminate those two causes. If you cannot, then no amount of whining or number of "refugees" allowed into our nation will make any difference at all ... other than to bankrupt our economy even faster than its present rate of decline.

By the way, have you heard of the Zapatistas? Perhaps you should study their way of life and determine how it can be implemented throughout Mexico. I think it might be better for the people than anything currently promoted by the US or Mexican governments.

The Caravan

Here is a report about the caravan currently stalled in northern Mexico:

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katebubacz/kids-caravan-cameras

From my perspective, these kids are no worse off than the poor of the US. So why is the MSM fixated on THEM, while apparently oblivious to the status of our own citizens?

And when they're done trashing Trump for the caravan's fate, are they really going to help anyone? I doubt it.

What do you think?

War With Russia ???

It looks like our Ukrainian puppets may declare war on Russia:

https://news.antiwar.com/2018/11/25/ukraine-council-expects-to-declare-war-against-russia-after-maritime-incident/

I wonder how long it will take for the Russians to realize we are their chief foe? Once they do, how long until the missiles fly?

You can thank Robert Kagan and Victoria Nuland (among others) for what is about to happen.

Bibi And The Donald To Be Indicted ???

Israeli PM Netanyahu may be indicted. You can read about it here:

https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Report-Netanyahus-prosecutor-recommends-indictment-in-two-cases-572785

And it looks like Trump is in big trouble:

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-11-25/what-if-democrats-impeach-president-trump

In my opinion, their real "crime" was in moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. Anything like that which brings us closer to the End Times makes the earthly powers that be VERY nervous.

Online Banking Is Dangerous

Here is a good example why online banking is extremely dangerous:

https://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten.de/2018/11/24/betrueger-knacken-mit-google-maps-vertrauliche-bank-daten/ [translation required]

It also shows why Google is NOT your friend.

The Cost Of Economic Growth

According to reports such as this one, climate change will wreck economic growth:

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/climate-change-will-wreck-economic-growth-major-government-report-says-2018-11-23

It seems to me they got it backwards. "Economic growth" is one of the chief CAUSES of climate change. Not only is such growth damaging to our planet, it does little or nothing to benefit We the People.

And there really is no alternative in sight. Anything other than disaster capitalism is labeled as "bad" for us, and no one can prove otherwise. Not a good situation to be in.

By the way, if you get in the way of "economic growth" someone like Jeff Bezos' minions will call the police on you:

https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-asked-police-in-spain-to-intervene-warehouse-strike-2018-11

Chlorine Gas Used In Syria

According to this report, Syrian "rebels" are still using chemical weapons:

https://news.antiwar.com/2018/11/24/syrian-rebels-launch-chemical-attack-in-aleppo-dozens-wounded/

The blame for this should be placed at the feet of the US, UK, and Israel ... especially Obama ad-Dajjal and Hillary Clinton. This conflict should have ended LONG ago, but their lust to depose Bashar al-Assad has kept it going at the expense of all the peoples in the region and the EU.

Geopolitical goals, of any sort, should not result in massive destruction and human suffering. When will we ever get that through our heads?

The Palm Oil Catastrophe

"Everything government touches turns to crap."

Ringo Starr

Here is an excellent example of this principle:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/20/magazine/palm-oil-borneo-climate-catastrophe.html

If you think the governments of the world are going to save us from a climate catastrophe, you are sadly mistaken. I have worked for them, and they have no clue. The only things they are good at is stealing our money and wasting it.

The Mother Of All Perpetual Wars ???

Take a look at this report in The Jerusalem Post:

https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Technology-and-conventional-warfare-merge-under-Israeli-eyes-572599

From my perspective, the on-going Israeli narrative appears to be "they attacked us, so we have to crush them - the harder, the better".

Why isn't peace part of this narrative, other than in the following sense [after Tacitus]?

"They make a desolation and they call it peace."

Is that what G-d wants?

I guess I could read the Old Testament that way, but not the Gospel of Jesus. In either version of the Bible, it is G-d Who lays waste to the wicked ... and I just don't see His hand in anything currently happening in the Middle East. Do you? I see wicked people doing horrible things.

Social Credit, China Style

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Is SO Cute

But now that she has decided to support Nancy Pelosi, what good is she?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-throws-support-152701144.html

Sucking up to power just makes one a sucker.

Totally Official BS

According to this report, the CIA has evidence that MbS ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi:

http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/cia-holds-smoking-gun-phone-call-of-saudi-crown-prince-on-khashoggi-murder-columnist-139079

Why then do they have NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that Russia interfered in our 2016 elections?

The CIA was created to advise the president, not to leak dubious "intelligence" reports to the press to undermine him and to foment regime change domestically and abroad.

It's too bad they killed JFK before he was able to "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds." That would have been a good first step in the dismantling of the National Security State, an undertaking which no longer even seems possible.

Is Social Media An Arm Of The State ???

It sure looks that way:

Say the wrong things and you might get kicked off of your favorite social media platform.

War, Policing, Or Murder ???

Consider this report in today's Jerusalem Post:

Israel is again at a crossroads in the area of law and war. It has not figured out militarily or diplomatically how to stop or solve Hamas’s latest low-grade escalation tactics dating back to March.

With no satisfactory solution, Education Minister Naftali Bennett recently reignited the debate over the involvement of lawyers in giving IDF soldiers legal advice before targeting decisions are made and the possible prosecution of some IDF soldiers after those decisions.

Now let's turn the clock back 75 years, to WWII Europe:

https://www.france24.com/en/20181123-berlin-man-95-charged-over-36000-deaths-nazi-camp

I surmise that the lawyers of Nazi Germany would have advised Hans H. to say he was "just following legal orders". Obviously that was wrong then, and it's still wrong now.

In light of that conclusion, what do you think Israeli lawyers should tell the IDF?

[Hint: If you want peace, then MAKE peace.]

We Have No "Defense Department"

The following suggests We the People have no "Defense Department".

According to the latest MSM gibberish, our armed forces cannot be used as a "posse comitatus". Exactly what does that term mean?

The posse comitatus, in common law, is all able-bodied males over the age of 15 within a specific county, when mobilized in whole or in part by the conservator of peace – usually the sheriff – to suppress lawlessness or defend the county [emphasis added].

Source - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_comitatus

And as you may know, we also no longer have a militia since it has been under continual attack by the FBI and other private and government organizations at least since the start of Operation PATCON.

By this rationale our organized and irregular military forces CANNOT be used to defend our country from an unarmed invasion, and on 9/11/2001 it was proven they are incapable of defending us from an actual attack of any sort.

What we do have instead is a GLOBAL STRIKE FORCE (i.e., a WAR Department) which is used to enforce the greedy desires of our fascist ruling class at a cost of at least one trillion dollars per year. It functions as a private army which is funded at public expense.

That has NOTHING to do with "defense".

I recommend we do one of two things (or both):

1. Scale back to an ACTUAL defense force; and/or
2. Let our fascist ruling class pay for this global strike force with their own money.

Is HRC Really This Stupid ???

According to Hillary, immigration into the EU must be curbed to stop 'rightwing populists':

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/nov/22/hillary-clinton-europe-must-curb-immigration-stop-populists-trump-brexit

Dear Dumbass - Your role in the destruction of Iraq, Libya, and Syria is probably the chief cause of EU immigration.

When are you going to take responsibility for the consequences of your stupidity?

Computer-Aided Wellness ???

Wellness? There's an app for that:

The Original Thanksgiving Proclamation

"Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor, and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me "to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness. Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be. That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks, for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation, for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his providence, which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war, for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed, for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted, for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us. And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions, to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually, to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed, to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shown kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord. To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and Us, and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best. Given under my hand at the City of New York the third day of October in the year of our Lord 1789."

Are Doctors Really In Their Lane ???

Doctors are pissed the NRA told them to "stay in their lane" regarding the issue of gun violence. You can read about it here:

http://time.com/5460036/this-is-our-lane-doctors-guns/

But doesn't it seem like the medical profession has NOT been proactive on issues which clearly ARE in their lane, such as vaccine injuries, the spread of infectious diseases like AFM, and the shenanigans of drug companies?

New statistics from the National Institutes of Health show that more than 72,000 people died from drug overdoses during 2017. Of those, a staggering 49,060 people are said to have died as a result of opioid abuse. The opioid pain-reliever is one of Big Pharma’s most profitable cash-cows, and now, American citizens are paying the price — with their lives. Annual death tolls from opioids alone are now exceeding deaths from car accidents (40,100), fatal shootings (15,549), homicides (17,284) and even suicide (almost 45,000).

All told, about 200 people died an opioid-related death every day in 2017. Earlier estimates also confirmed that the number of people Big Pharma killed with opioids in a single year was higher than the number of causalities the U.S. incurred during the Vietnam and Iraq wars combined.

While all these lives (and the lives of their loved ones) are being torn apart, Big Pharma has been raking in billions. And the same industry that caused this massive epidemic of death now stands to profit by selling new, pharmaceutical “cures” for the problem they created.

Iranian Nukes ???

According to this impossible-to-verify report, Iran had a plan to build nukes:

https://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-secret-plans-build-five-nuclear-warheads/

Just like Saddam had a plan.

The operative word is "had". What are they doing NOW ??? Who knows?

Here is what I believe:

• Israel has more nukes than everyone else in the Middle East. Why did we let that happen?
• Iran wouldn't be doing anything if the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia weren't constantly provoking them.
• The hawks are going to get their war sooner or later. Facts may or may not have anything to do with it.

Medical Screening Of Migrants

For those of you who may not agree, didn't US troops assist with medical related tasks in Africa for the last Ebola outbreak? This may not be a traditional role for them, but keeping infectious diseases out of our nation is an important aspect of defense, isn't it?

Puzzling Assertion For The Day - 11/20/2018

From The Unz Review:

Only a few modern countries, it seems to me, have been successful in raising or maintaining fertility: these include Fascist Italy, the Third Reich, and Israel. In each case, pro-natalist policies are not taken in isolation, but reflect an encouraging total context in which children are valued by the entire society and culture, as enabling the survival and power of a particular people.

An Adult Case Of AFM

An adult male in Wisconsin has been diagnosed with AFM:

By the way, do you think it strange that neither the linked report nor the video states his age? I do.

The Kings Of The East

Reports such as this one attempt to explain why the US still has troops and proxy forces in Syria:

http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2018/11/washingtons-weak-hand-in-syria.html

Most people will assume their presence has something to do with oil, the balance of regional power, etc.

But consider this biblical prophecy:

And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

Revelation 16:12 KJV

"Our" forces currently sit on the east side of the Euphrates River. Are they positioned there for an End Times purpose? I would not be surprised if they were. You may not see the hand of G-d in current events, but He is there.

We Need New Blood At The Top In Congress

Will the new Congress be run by the same tired bunch of senior citizens?

At the moment, the number of Democrats said to be committed to voting against her [Nancy Pelosi] would be enough to prevent her from getting the 218 votes she needs. That margin could change depending on a number of pending House races, but the most she could afford to lose would be 19, if no Republicans support her and every member present casts a vote. The unpredictability highlights the fact that Democrats lack a stable of young leaders serving in key positions on Capitol Hill. And it speaks to the customs of a House Democratic caucus that has had the same three people at its helm for more than a decade — Pelosi, 78, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, 79, and Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, 78 — discouraging all but the most daring from mounting a challenge.

We're NOT All Going To Mars

I usually don't pay much attention to Bill Nye, but I'm in total agreement with this assessment of his:

Sorry, Elon Musk. Bill Nye says the idea of Mars colonization and terraforming – making a planet more Earth-like by modifying its atmosphere – is "science fiction."

"This whole idea of terraforming Mars, as respectful as I can be, are you guys high?" Nye said in an interview with USA TODAY. "We can't even take care of this planet where we live, and we're perfectly suited for it, let alone another planet."

As for living on Mars permanently: Sorry, Nye says that's not happening either. "People disagree with me on this, and the reason they disagree is because they're wrong," he quipped.

ADM McRaven Is Misguided And Confused

ADM William McRaven claims President Trump damages the Constitution when he attacks the media. You can read about it here:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/18/politics/donald-trump-william-mcraven/index.html

Dear Bill - There are LOTS of things which damage the Constitution which you could be complaining about but apparently are not:

• The concentration of media power in a handful of corporations;
• The growing number of generals and admirals who appear on corporate "news" outlets to lobby for war and wasteful military spending which is bankrupting our nation;
• The state of emergency (sic) which has existed since 9/11, when there never was any such "emergency";
• The transformation of the US government into a "warfare" state with troops in nearly every country on the planet;
• The continual reckless provocation of Russia and China by US military forces;
• The proliferation of military hardware and tactics among US police forces and sheriff departments;
• The FBI's war on militias and other patriotic groups (Operation PATCON);
• The continual warrantless spying on the American people by the CIA, FBI, NSA, and social media companies;
• The escalating attacks on those members of the social media universe who criticize our fascist corporate controlled government;
• And several others, some of which are implied in this video - https://youtu.be/yuC_4mGTs98.

You and your admiral/general buddies would do well to re-read GA Douglas MacArthur's Thayer Award Acceptance Address, especially this part:

And through all this welter of change and development, your mission remains fixed, determined, inviolable: it is to win our wars.

Everything else in your professional career is but corollary to this vital dedication. All other public purposes, all other public projects, all other public needs, great or small, will find others for their accomplishment. But you are the ones who are trained to fight. Yours is the profession of arms,  the will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there is no substitute for victory; that if you lose, the nation will be destroyed; that the very obsession of your public service must be: Duty, Honor, Country.

Others will debate the controversial issues, national and international, which divide men's minds; but serene, calm, aloof, you stand as the Nation's war-guardian, as its lifeguard from the raging tides of international conflict, as its gladiator in the arena of battle. For a century and a half you have defended, guarded, and protected its hallowed traditions of liberty and freedom, of right and justice.

Let civilian voices argue the merits or demerits of our processes of government; whether our strength is being sapped by deficit financing, indulged in too long, by federal paternalism grown too mighty, by power groups grown too arrogant, by politics grown too corrupt, by crime grown too rampant, by morals grown too low, by taxes grown too high, by extremists grown too violent; whether our personal liberties are as thorough and complete as they should be. These great national problems are not for your professional participation or military solution. Your guidepost stands out like a ten-fold beacon in the night: Duty, Honor, Country.

You are the leaven which binds together the entire fabric of our national system of defense. From your ranks come the great captains who hold the nation's destiny in their hands the moment the war tocsin sounds. The Long Gray Line has never failed us. Were you to do so, a million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, would rise from their white crosses thundering those magic words: Duty, Honor, Country.

This does not mean that you are war mongers.

& & & & & & & &

And by the way, I always am amused when you are introduced as "architect of the bin Laden raid". By any measure, that raid was an abject failure. Your men killed bin Laden instead of capturing him and then allegedly dumped his body into the sea. You call that a success? I don't. It was a great media stunt, but that's about all.

Can The Rebellion Succeed ???

Will we really see change any time soon?

When was the last time a monopoly or quasi-monopoly was broken up? A generation ago, or was it two generations ago?

The Ruling Class that wants us to love our servitude incites us to seek divisions: between red and blue, left and right, progressive and conservative, and so on. The Ruling Class in the mainstream media, in Washington D.C. and in Silicon Valley are experts at manipulating language and terminology to divide and conquer.

But beneath the superficial red-blue divide they are hawking, a broad-based political rebellion against the Oligarchy and their Ruling Class nomenklatura is gathering momentum. People left, right and center are awakening to two painfully obvious realities:

1. the political-social-economic system no longer works for the bottom 95%
2. the system is intrinsically unfair--rigged to benefit the few at the expense of the many.

The bottom 95% lack the political influence of the Oligarchy, and so their only means of expressing their disapproval is at the ballot box, by rejecting the approved mainstream candidates in favor of candidates who might move the needle in a rigged system.

Although I somewhat agree, the US voting system has become a total joke. Do you really think 'new' candidates are going to make a difference? I don't, but time will tell.

Jim Acosta Has No Right To Enter White House

Here is a good discussion why the Jim Acosta brouhaha is total BS:

After all, the press room, the communications staff, and the entire White House media apparatus exists to make the president look good. It's not there to offer a frank exchange of information, or to divulge any information the White House doesn't want released.

To find that sort of information, one would have to engage in real investigative journalism in which journalists uncover facts that powerful government officials would rather not be uncovered. That, of course, is what Julian Assange has done. But you won't find many establishment American journalists defending him. No, in the minds of the Jim Acostas of the world, "journalism" consists of repeating the official talking points released at official press conferences.

And this is a lucky thing for presidents, many of whom have long understood that the purpose of White House communications is to manipulate the press.

https://mises.org/wire/white-house-press-pass-has-nothing-do-first-amendment

I agree.

I would shut down the WH press room. I doubt that Ms. Sanders has the ability to tell us anything of real importance.

If we want real news, we should ask someone like Assange.

Soon We'll All Be Like China

Everywhere we look the influence of the Chinese government and their totalitarian surveillance methods can be seen.

Go ahead and search “China surveillance” (Pro-tip: Use DuckDuckGo or an alternative search engine!) and watch how many articles pop up regarding the growing digital dystopia being finalized across the People’s Republic of China. Titles like, Smart ID cards and facial recognition: How China spreads surveillance tech around the world and China’s new surveillance state, everyone will be watched, reviewed and rated really warm the heart and fill the head with a vision of a society where no thought is private, criticism of the State is illegal, and your social behaviors affect your place in life.

Yippee !!! I can't wait.

[Just kidding.]

I probably won't be around to witness the culmination of this trend, but I do feel sympathy for those of you who will. When it happens, I hope you will remember that is was "smart" people and rich people who did this to you.

Gender Anarchy In The UK ???

An astonishing 17 pupils at a single British school are in the process of changing gender, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Most of the youngsters undergoing the transformation are autistic, according to a teacher there, who said vulnerable children with mental health problems were being ‘tricked’ into believing they are the wrong sex.

The whistleblower says few of the transgender children are suffering from gender dysphoria – the medical term for someone who feels they were born in the wrong body – but are just easily influenced, latching on to the mistaken belief they are the wrong sex as a way of coping with the problems caused by autism.

Earlier this year, The Mail on Sunday revealed that a third of youngsters referred to the NHS’s only gender identity clinic for children showed ‘moderate to severe autistic traits’.

Doesn't this sound a bit strange? Who diagnosed these children as "autistic" in the first place?

Have schools become places where children come to get confused, or to find their true selves? Beats the hell out of me.

Please - No More Joe

For some inexplicable reason, Joe Biden is still in the news:

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stephaniemcneal/joe-biden-adopted-a-rescue-dog-and-people-are-in-love-with

Dear Joe - Please go gentle into that good night. You had your chance to be our president, but you didn't have the balls to stand up to Hillary.

By the way, by your own admission you were responsible for what is now known as the "Patriot Act". How did you know about the 9/11 attacks that far in advance? According to George W. Bush, no one in his administration or that of his predecessor suspected that such a thing was possible.

If you don't mind, please stop pretending you are anything more than a former puppet of the powers that be. After all, they really don't care WHAT happens to you any more.

OMG - Betsy Wants To Follow The Constitution !!!

According to reports like this one, the new sex assault rules proposed by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos are HORRIBLE. She actually wants to allow defendants to cross-examine their accusers. Imagine that !!!

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/16/us/politics/betsy-devos-title-ix.html

Apparently Betsy has read the US Constitution, while her detractors have not:

6th Amendment
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

Yes, I know that what colleges are doing in such cases may not be "criminal prosecutions" per se, but that should not mean the accused are not entitled to due process.

What do you think?

The Flim-Flam President

After presiding over a massive explosion in our national debt and swindling us out of nearly $80 million for personal vacations for himself and family, Obama ad-Dajjal now is becoming a "billion dollar brand":

https://nypost.com/2018/11/17/the-obamas-are-becoming-a-billion-dollar-brand/amp/

Contrast that with former presidents who actually tried to do something GOOD for our nation and then languished in relative poverty after leaving office:

• Ulysses Grant
• Harry Truman
• Jimmy Carter

I have no respect for Barack and his family. He and the Clintons thrived in the White House by sucking up to big money, and I see no necessity to further reward their greed and perfidy. I don't like politicians who become wealthy by feeding at the trough of corruption.

Time To Dump Senator Schumer ???

Here is an interesting assertion by The Intercept:

The leader of the Senate Democrats tried to bully a fellow Democratic senator to “back off” from investigating a company where his daughter works and which gives him more money than any other member of Congress. Why isn’t this a bigger story? How is this not a resigning issue?

For some reason Chuck Schumer, like all the Democrat big shots, gets a free pass no matter how sleazy or corrupt his actions.

I'm really sick of these guys. How about you?

Pentagon Fails Audit

The US military is a financial black hole:

https://www.activistpost.com/2018/11/pentagon-fails-its-first-ever-official-audit.html

Stop all military spending, except that necessary to defend our borders.

And find out who stole our money and toss them in jail.

We have put FAR too much faith in our military leaders, and I suspect that if the facts were known we'd discover their ranks are riddled with corruption.

Germany Becoming Non-German ???

The speed with which the German population is shrinking seems to be even too much for the statisticians of Destatis, the official German bureau of statistics, who posit that by 2060, with a zero level of net immigration, the German population will have declined to 60,2 million. However, our research team has found out that this number is far too optimistic: in 40 years Germany will have a population of 52,6 million people, a considerable 34% drop from the current 81 million inhabitants, and by the end of the century the native German population, the indigenous people without a migration background, will have shrunk even further and be approaching 21,6 million. The explanation that Destatis has mailed us is tantamount to admitting that their projections are unrealistic.

If the German elites succeed in maintaining their population at 80 million, in 2060 the majority of naturalized Germans will have no historical relation to the nation’s ancestors who were once proud subjects of the Holy Roman Empire. Moreover, they will stand in the same relation to Albert Schweitzer, Johann Sebastian Bach, Karl Benz and Friedrich Nietzsche as Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stands to the Byzantine emperors. The excessive numbers of migrants will have altered the German nation forever.

Something similar is happening in the US.

If nation-states no longer serve the needs and desires of their ACTUAL populations, then it makes sense that changes will take place. Whining about how the newcomers are "un-American" or "non-German" is pointless. They are who they are, and if the nation-state cannot cope or adapt it SHOULD be changed into something which can.

Witchcraft On The Rise

A report in the Christian Post contends that the number of witches (and Wiccans) has dramatically increased since the 1990s, to the degree that there may be at least 1.5 million witches in the United States, which is higher than the 1.4 million mainline Presbyterians.

"[T]he practice of witchcraft has grown significantly in recent decades; those who identify as witches has risen concurrently with the rise of the 'witch aesthetic,'" reported the Christian Post in October, citing data from Quartz, a Trinity College study, and the Pew Research Center.

There are eyewitness reports that Jesus rose from the dead. Are there any similar reports that witches have any special powers?

Hmmm ...

Khashoggi Vs. Seth Rich

Apparently the CIA believes MbS ordered the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. You can read about it here:

https://www.smh.com.au/world/middle-east/saudi-crown-prince-ordered-khashoggi-s-assassination-cia-20181117-p50gn3.html

Compare and contrast that "hit" with the death of Seth Rich:

• Considerable resources have been expended investigating the death of Khashoggi, while Rich's death received a minimal effort.
• Several governments and the MSM ganged up on MbS for the Khashoggi hit, but they all gave Rich's real killer a free pass. They DID, however, gang up on the private detective who tried to find out what really happened to Seth.
• Other than for spite, there appears to be no real motive for what happened to Khashoggi. He posed no known realistic threat to MbS. Seth Rich, on the other hand, appeared to have information which would reveal the multiple distortions and lies behind the Hillary-Debbie conspiracy to steal both the primaries and the general election in 2016. He also appears to have been able to put the lie to the entire Russiagate witch hunt.

Yes, there is an order of magnitude difference in the alleged savagery of the two killings. But that could be due to the fact the US has far more experience in the assassination field and knows better than to do something which would attract too much attention. And we're SO MUCH BETTER at convincing a gullible public to believe in the impossible (e.g., the incredible official versions of what happened to JFK, RFK, and MLK, etc.)

Face it - many US politicians are accomplished murderers themselves, or have such people on their payrolls. That's how they rose to the top and stayed there for so long.

The Continuing Persecution of Julian Assange

According to this report, the USA wants to extradite Julian Assange, but "it's not clear why" he is being charged:

https://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/world/2018-11-16-julian-assange-charged-by-us-prosecutors-but-its-not-clear-why/

That's a sick joke, right?

Most of our "leaders" want him silenced, and many of them want him dead - that's why.

It says a lot about our mythical "freedom of speech and press" when the powers that be want to restore Jim Acosta's press privileges at the same time they want Julian Assange to be tortured.

People like Acosta are rewarded handsomely for telling lies, while people like Assange are persecuted for telling the truth. This is no democracy - the US is becoming worse than Nazi Germany.

Special Forces Gone Berserk ???

It appears that our special forces personnel now may be killing each other:

https://www.yahoo.com/gma/navy-seals-marines-charged-murdering-green-beret-horrific-210504701.html

I have great admiration for the men and women of our armed forces, but I'm starting to lose my respect for some of them ... especially our "special forces".

Whether they're foolishly killing Osama bin Laden instead of capturing him, killing each other for unknown reasons, or just murdering whatever civilians the CIA tells them to, they're engaged in things I just cannot support.

When it's not an even fight, what's to respect? Shooting fish in a barrel may be fun and even at times require skill, but it's certainly not "war".

Does US Like Nazis, Or Not ???

Blowback: An Inside Look at How US-Funded Fascists in Ukraine Mentor US White Supremacists

Not only are white supremacists from across the West flocking to Ukraine to learn from the combat experience of their fascist brothers-in-arms, they are doing so openly, under the nose of a shrugging law enforcement — chronicling their experiences on social media before they bring their lessons back home.

You can read all about it @
https://www.mintpressnews.com/us-backed-fascist-azov-battalion-in-ukraine-is-training-and-radicalizing-american-white-supremacists/251951/

Some sources have claimed the US supports the Ukrainian neo-Nazis. This appears to be another al-Qaeda moment, in which the US arms and trains terrorists for deployment overseas, and they ultimately wind up attacking us back here at home.

Now ... in both cases did this happen accidentally, or was this the intention all along? I suspect the latter. Uncle Sam may be thick, but he's not stupid.
