More Of The Same ???

In the wake of the Afghanistan debacle, you've probably seen a few predictions like this one:

Former US intelligence colleagues are angry and deeply worried at what has happened in Afghanistan.

Here's what I'm hearing, and why there's nearly universal belief that America and the world are in for one of the most dangerous, unpredictable times in modern history.

Another OMG the sky is falling moment. And what should we do in response? More spying, more military spending, more coercive measures. Let's get those evil Russkies, Chinese, and Iranians, and the sooner the better.

Have you ever seen this quote, which often is attributed to Albert Einstein?

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

If there ever was a situation to which it applied, the combined economic, military and foreign policy of the United States is it.

We are NOT going to solve the world's problems, or even OUR problems, by creating another terror scare and wasting more trillion$ on an expanded crusade of paranoia. Of that I am certain. Haven't we proven that over and over again?

What should we do differently? How about trying peace? How about true friendship? How about cooperation? Would it hurt to admit we screwed up? Would it kill us to live up to the endless promises we made to make the world a better place?

A few people would be disappointed in such a sea change - the bankers, the arms dealers, the dumbass generals and admirals who don't even know how to win a war, the surveillance industry (CIA, FBI, NSA, etc.) which has been continually lying to us since 1947. Guess what? All those people are PARASITES who have been sucking the lifeblood from the body of our nation for NOTHING, except their personal enrichment.

So YES, we are in for one of the most dangerous, unpredictable times in modern history. But if we react to it in the way we have been since the end of WWII, we'e going to get what we've always gotten - more wars, more deaths, more squandering of resources.

TPTB keep telling us "change is good". Well, it's time for REAL change. Turn them into "the powers that used to be", return the power to the people, and create a true brotherhood of nations.

Or someday soon we'll wake up on a desolated planet to spend our final years lamenting what used to be and what might have been.

Saving Your Job

Here is a generic protest letter which may be used when your employer tries to force you to take an investigational vaccine:

Better than nothing, I guess.

And if you still think the vax is the solution and not the problem, take a look at this:

Sure looks suspicious to me. How about you?

Lessons We're Not Learning

The fiasco in Afghanistan points to some lessons we don't appear to be learning. Here are a few (in no particular order):

• in spite of our modern weapons and herculean efforts, we can't win wars anymore;
• without a continued, massive US presence and injection of cash, just about all of our client states would fall apart;
• people don't want to be like the US - their kids crave the sex-drugs-rock-n-roll part, but they couldn't care less about our "democracy" and the effort it takes to build and maintain it; and
• no amount of continued deficit spending (other than shrinking it down to zero) is going to save us from the fate of the former USSR after they left Afghanistan.

You may not agree with my assertions, but if you don't I'd like to see your proofs. We definitely are headed in the wrong direction, and unless we have a REAL accounting soon we'll be spiraling down the drain of history. The "Joe Biden" administration and Pelosi-Schumer congress are nowhere near up to the task (if they're even interested.)

Molecular Farming

I'm really conflicted over this one:

https://singularityhub.com/2021/08/17/the-next-vaccine-could-be-edible-and-grown-in-a-plant/

It sound like a cool idea, but if "vaccines" get added to food like vitamin D in milk or iodine in table salt, then the concepts of choice and informed consent get thrown out the window.

But this seems to be the direction we're headed. Time to read Brave New World again.

Strange Days Ahead

Here are some observations from James Howard Kunstler:

I guess we had to find out the hard way that Afghanistan is not like Nebraska. Let others be cruel about it (and there’s plenty of that right now, elsewhere). The last ostensible hegemon who tried occupying the place before us was the Soviet Union, which discovered painfully that Afghanistan was not much like its Kemerovo Oblast, either, and shortly after it withdrew its troops in 1989, the Soviet Union commenced to collapse — which prompts one to wonder: How much is the USA of 2021 like the Soviet Union of those years?

Well, we’ve become an ossified, administrative nomenklatura of Deep State flunkies as the Soviets were, and lately we’re just as lawless as they used to be, constitution-wise — e.g., the abolition of property rights via the CDC’s rent moratorium … the prolonged jailing in solitary confinement of January 6 political prisoners … the introduction of internal “passports.” The USA is running on fumes economically as the Soviets were. Our dominant party leadership has aged into an embarrassing gerontocracy. Is it our turn to collapse?

% % % % % % % %

Finally, there’s the fate of President “Joe Biden.” As Kabul falls this morning, he remains in his Camp David gopher hole. Observers conjecture that he’s had a few “bad days” lately, meaning he is not presentable. There is a rising clamor, even among his own partisans, for him to come out and say something, anything … for Gawdsake … just do more than pretend to be the leader of the free world! It could be curtains for Ol’ White Joe … resignation-time. Never before has a US president faced such a daunting loss of legitimacy, and hardly just on account of Afghanistan. And then consider who’s next-in-line for that position. (Did you shudder?)

Sometimes, Vlad Lenin observed, events take decades, and sometimes years happen in weeks. This looks like one of those times for the USA. Heads will soon be spinning like the little girl’s in The Exorcist, releasing a pea-soup spewage of shocking revelation. The old narratives will fall apart before our eyes. Minds will have to get right. Prepare for a whole lot of strange days rolling out.

Others (e.g., Pat Buchanan) have called the USA a failing state which soon may collapse. The determining factor will be when those old narratives finally fall apart, and you may have noticed the groundwork for that has been laid by the wokesters for quite some time.

If the USA does collapse, do you suppose our former "leaders" will flee the country in private jets loaded with cash? Oh, wait ... they've already been doing that, ever since the start of the COVID pandemic. Here's an example in case you missed it:

Clearly, they screwed us big time ... and now they're going to leave us holding the bag. Are you happy now?

The Bin Laden Myth

Almost 20 years ago, the US blamed the 9/11 attacks on Osama bin Laden.

Today, after innumerable deaths and the wasting of trillion$ of dollars, the US is pulling out of Afghanistan, a country we allegedly invaded in a search for bin Laden.

But what was bin Laden doing the night before the attacks? This video may have the answer:

https://www.globalresearch.ca/was-america-attacked-by-afghanistan-on-september-11-2001/5307151

If you ask me, the entire official 9/11 story is BS. I think the most believable narrative is the one implied by this video:

https://youtu.be/i_QFYn_G1lc

This all may have been just another massive swindle, but I guess most of you are OK with that.

Jeez !!!

Update - 8/17/2021

Here is additional discussion:

I like the idea of "doing nothing", since almost every time we do something it turns into a disaster wasting our lives and treasure.

Fastest Growing Cities

Here is a graphic showing the world's fastest growing cities:

Note that none are in the Americas, and most are in regions the US would like to control.

Imagine what would happen if the nations of Africa did what the Taliban just accomplished in their country. It would just about shut us out from that continent ... and maybe topple us from our position as world hegemon.

Of course, we've already been doing a great job of that ourselves, and one has to ask whether that's accidental or intentional and whether China is playing a role in the process.

What do you think?
