It looks to me like the 2020s are starting not with a bang, but more the thud of a surgical strike I’ll never witness in real time… as the disintegration and social malaise of the previous decade come to an end, two situations are holding my attention for the current one: Suleimani's slaying and the situation surrounding Second Amendment rights in Virginia, among other states.
An effective military is beneficial to us, as the warrior caste well realized has always been crucial to the stability of a society, from the Akkadians long ago to the Germans in recent centuries; however, the changing nature of warfare has brought on a new pestilence in the military-industrial complex: a gang of mercenaries and contractors for hire whose entire reason to exist lies in antagonizing others and reaping the fruits of their fears. As the violence necessary to sustain a vibrant nation becomes less apportioned for noble purpose and more concealed and nuanced in its application, an opportunity is thus created for those monstrous cowards to wreak more havoc in the world through bureaucratic subterfuge than any seasoned soldier could possibly wish to inflict on the battlefield. Our monetary system’s soundness, shorn of the gold standard or any solid collateral, instead depends upon our ability to project our power worldwide and on a vicious cycle of debt and interest our elites use to subjugate the entire globe our own confused liberalism. The United States makes protectorates of its allies, who use it to force their depravity upon their own people. In large part to their beck and call, we have eliminated the previous lynchpins for regional security in the Middle East. The complex’s incitement to Orwellian war has spawned the greatest surveillance system the world has ever seen, one which has a direct consequence on its home country’s domestic life. It is capable of taking privacy away from any American through incidental collection; when I as a “blogger” realize that some analyst can mine the data offered in this very post and target me in the same manner the feds did to President Trump during his campaign, I know in my heart that things have gone too far. Heed the warnings of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and heed the words of Major General Smedley Butler, that great American and Marine: war is a racket, one in which we are all involved, whether we pick up a rifle, spend with our wallets, or provide clicks for a media piece.
I would like to emphasize that I do not see Suleiman’s death as a source of pride for the United States. In the same way the eradication of vermin and pests in an ecosystem collapses the entire food chain, slaughtering all those who make discomfort for American hegemony is not healthy for global affairs. Many who describe him as a religious fanatic yearning to hasten his maker’s day of judgement in fact wish the very same as he in their own paradigm, gleefully offering our fighting men as its first sacrifice inside their corporate places of worship. A limit must be placed on our willingness to rape the sovereignty of nations. We must curtail our head executive’s temptation to ruin countless lives in order to remain in office, whoever they may be and for whatever reason. There is no cause to wage war for the American people now, except to grip more tightly the horde of our own profits, costly comforts which drain our people of its vitality and cohesiveness, and which cause the otherwise vital citizen to be wasted and atomized in his own silent torment of proclivities. We are not humble warriors anymore, but rather paid operatives who obliviously lay waste to entire civilizations in the name of a false sense of security. We have no mandate to lead the world, except that of the preservation of our status quo, two entities which are definitely not inextricable; if the war-waging class were to have the absence of mind to clearly state its intentions, no sane man would support them. We are conditioned to gloat over the villains shown to us by the establishment and its controlled opposition, both compromised by trained propagandists and various intelligence assets and meant to spam out and deplatform those truly looking for answers.
In the same way an administration must be brought to account for its coercive actions, the state must be made to respect the sovereignty of its own citizens. Universal registration of weapons should NEVER be coerced upon our people, for precisely the aforementioned reasons. The media cover-up surrounding the developments of second-amendment sanctuary counties nationwide is proof in my mind that demoralization is being put into place and that the schemers are closing in to the next phase of their plans. Our rulers have declared war on their own citizens, spiritually, legally, and psychologically. If our government cannot respect the dignity of other great nations, how can a countryman of ours believe their own dignity as an individual shall be sacrosanct? It is resistance and deterrence through resistance which brings the Great Globohomo to account, be it from behind every blade of grass in America or from the raised arms of those protesting it in the streets of Baghdad. If we as a body politic cannot summon the resolve to drag those criminals through the streets, so should the concerned minority of the world take measures to ensure this need not happen.
I don’t have a solution in mind for de-escalation, because I am imperfect, not all-knowing, and I don't have the tenacity to become a policymaker. All I can do is hope like a novice gambler that America in its nationalism learns from the experiences of Rome and Britain; perhaps we can even learn from the Russians, whose nationalist intelligentsia advocates for a multipolar world and a retraction of Atlantic and Eurasian institutions to their respective geographical homelands. I lend my solidarity to the patriots standing their ground against Governor Northam in Virginia. In addition to President Trump, I also lend my full support to Tulsi Gabbard for the Democratic nomination, likely or not, mostly because she has brought the topic of regime-change wars into wider circulation, a matter about which President Trump has been woefully ambiguous and inconsistent; as for her views on gun rights, those can be actively resisted, as is happening now despite the administration’s surprising indifference. To those who believe President Trump has made flashy decisions such as these to appease hawks on his own side which sustain his political capital, then it is self-evident that we must directly address the latter and strip them of their power, something which can only be done by dispelling the conveniences and the circuses they offer to our desire for a blissful mind. We cannot depend on the older generation anymore for guidance in this matter, as they have less invested in the fortunes of the future than their children. I don’t want to gleefully fight for the end of times. I don’t want to make any place on earth a parking lot. I want to fight for my own dignity. I want a country I’ve never had.
IBT-... woah, that was quick.
“There is no cause to wage war for the American people now”
Iran has been waging war on the American people, for decades. Surrender is one way to end a war, but I don’t think it’s in our interest, and it hasn’t been working in this case. We haven’t surrendered decisively enough, it seems.
Good Lord man! That’s frightening! LOL!
Thanks for posting.
Oh, blah, blah, blah - you’re so frikken’ special. Sometimes we have to fight, it’s the way of the world. All of the people in those two cars needed killing and we should have done it years ago.
Grow up.
Outstanding pic!
Dont worry.
The same guy will gladly tell you how Hillary and Obama should be in GITMO for failing to defend the embassy in Libya.
But do it here, and the idiot thinks this is “waging war”.
Really. Brevity is the mark of intellect.
Verbosity the hallmark of a pompous ass.
This guy just puked his thoughts into words and expected us to?
Agree? Eat it up? Applaud wildly?
Now is the time to stand with the President, not nuance his pros and cons.
Ulmius, RIP. 2015-2020.
Bye bye troll
What is this crap?
Same troll, different topic:
> ...what right does a parent have to waste away their children’s inheritance for personal enjoyment? Shouldn’t it be an obligation to provide for their well-being after the parent passes, especially when they are more likely to be more affluent than their children?

This post is juvenile and feckless. Someone’s ox got gored.
He’s a very confused and u certain writer, but he must get paid by the word. A word salad without the virtue of clarity of thought. Somewhat confused about the realities of the world we live in. He likes Tulsi Gabbard and he likes the idea of citizen uprisings everywhere...but he doesn’t seem to know what he wants out of those uprisings. Eden I guess. He should read the Bible more, it’ll tell him when he can expect to be content.
I count 5 paragraphs of varying sizes. I have no desire to read beyond the first sentence but I am slightly curious:
Was that an opus?
Outstanding pic!

I agree.
Notice the intentional misspelling of Soleimani's name... replaced with Suleiman - a hero of Iranians who want to retake the West, establish a modern Ottoman Empire, and rule the world...
It was all over the map, and none of it good.
The map itself appeared to be one of those special San Francisco maps you need to avoid getting your shoes soiled.
