Free Republic

Yes, and I would add to your list the unholy alliance of big business with a the dictatorial government, just like in the Third Reich. The DEI and the global warming crap are not followed by CEOs out of misplaced ideology but out of self-interest since the government involving itself in so many ways to tilt the scales to their cooperating partners.

The Nazi government supplied its big business partners with slave labor, the secret sauce of Germany's strong economy through the entire war.

So far, the globalist government is supplying millions of immigrants to suppress wages and otherwise force-feed the economy, not to mention the human trafficking of sex workers and sex slaves including children who are apparently in such high demand by the so-called elites.

So yes, the Nazi paradigm is closer in some ways than the communist one when describing the Uniparty-controlled government and ideology.

Yes!!

LBJ was such a narcissist (and murderer) that when he became the most unpopular POTUS and had to remove himself from the '68 race, he crawled deep into the bottle and let his hair and nails grow out like a demented hermit, dying miserably a few years later, never making another public appearance.

Yikes, LJ!

I knew you would disagree with my opinion—that for good of the country PDJT 47 should pardon Obama & Biden and go nuclear on all the rest of the derps.

But did you have to hit me with 4 separate posts? :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's a bit harsh.

But, if the worst of the predictions relating to the vax come true, and it results in the complete collapse of American/Western Civilization, then you can send me a note via mutant carrier pigeon, mule courier or smoke signal (the only remaining means of telecommunications) and say, "I told you so."

An enlightened martial artist knows how to heal as well as harm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The only reason I do not agree with you is that I think Trump 47 needs to find a way to start healing the country while still making it clear there will be strong punishments going forward for derps that abuse the power of their offices, especially with the aim to influence elections.

If Obama and Biden are indicted, then, as PDJT has often stated, the Presidency is dead. That is not consistent with our goal to return to the Constitution and the rule of law.

Hopefully at least some of the FBI crooks can have their new offices in the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Porny's testimony epitomizes the prostitution of the whole criminal justice system.

Those who have participated in the attempted destruction of this core American institution--crooked judges, politicians, prosecutors, AGs, FBI Directors--MUST be prosecuted when President Trump takes office again.

The purpose is not revenge, but to make it so costly no one will ever consider doing it again.

I think Trump should pardon Biden & Obama on day one...for the good of America...and then go nuclear on all the rest.

Interesting Broken China post, as usual.

There were also dislocations when Britain (rather, Scotland) invented capitalism. The dismal child labor practices provided much material for Charles Dickens. All land was essentially owned by the King, but peasants were allowed to occupy it and make a fairly nice living. When they were needed to populate factories, it became illegal (punishable by death) to hunt on the King’s land or grow crops there, so that the peasants were forced into the factories.

This gave rise to the wonderful saying: “Might as well be hanged for a sheep as a goat.”

But at the end of the day, private property had great benefits. It was a concept that was new to the world, and the new American republic immortalized it in the Constitution.

“Pursuit of happiness” was a euphemism for “Pursuit of private property.”

With England’s 50-year head start into capitalism, they created a global empire.

Everywhere the right to own property went hand-in-hand with private ownership of guns. According to historian Carroll Quigley, the reason Russia stayed backward vis a vis Western Europe was that the wealth was not available for the peasants to own weapons when it came their turn to industrialize, and the Czarist government kept its monopoly on the guns and the power.

In America, on the other hand, any citizen who could afford a Colt 45 revolver and a Springfield rifle was as well-armed as the U.S. Army.

Freedom and capitalism go together. China’s experiment in capitalism without freedom may have been doomed from the start.

Thank you for clearly articulating your position.

My judgement does not land there, because I think all politicians, including Putin, are guilty until proven otherwise of being totally motivated by power.

The problem geopolitically (i.e., relative to geography) is that there are no defensible, natural barriers (like mountains or major river) between Russia and Germany (or NATO); therefor, both sides want lots or territory to create a buffer for national security.

The results have been for the last 100 years that neither side is ever satisfied.

According to Oliver Stone, the USSR wanted friendly relations with the U.S. after fighting as allies in WWII, but instead there was the Cold War. Admittedly, if there was ever anything to Stone's idea that the two could have been friends, then the argument is so much stronger now that the USSR is gone along with the Russian flavor of communism.

BTW, Neither NATO nor the U.S. were parties to the Minsk protocols, which were an effort in 2014 and 2015 to stop the fighting in Donetsk. Moreover, according to the Moscow Times, the sides have never agreed as to the meaning of Minsk I or Minsk II

You do not seem to grasp that Ukraine is a direct threat to Russia as the forward thrust of globalist elites who do want to conquer Russia or at least its banking system.

I have no allusions about any “Good” related to Putin or Russia. They’re just another government and are inherently bad in my book.

However, a I pointed out previously, this is another war, like Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan that the U.S. is only involved in because of the machinations of people who want all countries, including the U.S., subsumed into a One-World tyranny.

Speaking as one member of We the People, I say we’ve got to quit falling for this globalist crap.

And I forgot to mention that one of the major occupations for sociopaths, according to psychoanalytic literature, is politicians.

...However, if sociopaths become organized, they must be met by an organized opposition who can meet them with equal violence.

These are some great quotes.

Government is a necessary evil. The main reason it is necessary is to defend the population against sociopathic groups both internal and external...which are never going to go away. (My implicit assumption is that sociopathic individuals could be effectively dealt with by free individuals.)

Oddly enough, sociopaths have a value in society, as their emotional composition suits them for necessary violence. (Examples in the psychoanalytic literature include some military, law enforcement, CEOs, slaughterhouse employees and surgeons).

But given their existence (sometimes estimated around 5% of the population), a totally non-violent “Nation” will be very short-lived. It will be thoroughly victimized, its wealth and its women plundered by the first Hitler or mob boss to come along.

However, if sociopaths become organized

Uhh...No.

This is the core globalist argument. It is anti-American to suggest the U.S. shouldn't use all its great geopolitical and cultural advantages, controlled only by the moral compass of The People.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think what you mean is that Russia does not currently have militarist rhetoric.

However, I do agree with you that it was the derps' 2014 "Color revolution" in Ukraine and the country's subsequent conversion to a globalist-spook haven for money laundering, bioweapons, human trafficking and espionage against Russia that caused the current war.

I hope you are right; however, China fooled our intel experts before, such as Gordon Chang who wrote a book about their imminent collapse 23 years ago. In that case, according to Michael Pillsbury, this was a deliberate deception.

Of course President Trump often gives out hints that support your opinion...hinting of super weapons to be revealed only when necessary. So there is that.

Those swarms of hundreds of drones sent from Iran against Israel? If it were China, it could have been swarms of millions of drones, since they make millions of factory robots there. I expect surprises from both sides.

And I know you are aware of the threat of hypersonic missiles hurtling straight downward at our carriers and other forces at 15,000 mph. Maybe we have adequate defenses, but I have not found anything published that indicates this is the case. (Of course, under no circumstances should it be revealed until absolutely necessary.)

Not in Woke World.

Neanderthals were rapidly made extinct, along with archaic Homo sapiens, by the invasion of new Homo sapiens, sometimes referred to as Cro Magnon, who were the first "Humans" having power of cognitive thought (i.e., abstract thought including language). This was accompanied by a critical genetic marker known as the D-allele.

As we know, there was a limited amount of cross-breeding; but, it is more likely that was between Neanderthal and archaic Homo sapiens, who then had limited reproductive contact with the new, genius breed.

This invasion of our mentally-modern (as opposed to anatomically modern) human ancestors entered the world in north-central Eurasia somewhere around 40,000 years ago.

I am confused about SCOTUS and affirmative action.

Did they decide it narrowly in 2023, as related only to college admissions? (and not related to the overall rift in the Constitution?) Is there a larger ruling yet to come?

Thank you again for all your great info.
