There Goes Europe

T he desperate wish in what is loosely called the West to at least appear morally correct is unfortunately over-matched by the desperation of people fleeing unstable, overpopulated places outside the West, and it is a fiasco beyond even the events of the moment.

The refugee / immigrant crisis around the Mediterranean is a preview of a horror show to which there is no end in sight, and is certain to escalate. So anyone who indulges in fantasies about organizing an orderly, rational distribution of displaced persons for the current wave, is badly missing the point. Wave beyond wave awaits after the this one. And then what will the well-intentioned sentimentalists say? We wanted to do the right thing… we meant well… we cried when we saw the little boy dead on the beach….

Yes, the tragic intrusions of the US military in Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and elsewhere have been reckless and stupid. But that is not the whole story. The desert nations of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have populations abnormally swollen by a century of oil-and-gas-based agriculture, really by the benefits of Modernity in general. Now that the oil age is chugging to an unruly crack-up, and Modernity with it, and the earth’s climate is doing wonky things, and the rich nations to the north have faked their finances to the point of bankruptcy, well, circumstances have changed.

In the years ahead, populations will be fleeing and shifting from many more unfavorable corners of the world. The pressures are mounting all over. Alas, the richer nations in which the fleeing poor aspire to gain a foothold, will also be contending with the disabling effects of a universal economic contraction — the winding down of the techno-industrial system and the global economy with it. That process has the potential to shatter political unions, overthrow established social orders, and provoke wars between the demoralized countries who still possess dangerous military hardware. At the least, it will produce economic conditions in Europe and North America probably worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s.

So, the idea that the nations currently bethinking themselves “rich” can take in, shelter, and employ the masses fleeing MENA (and elsewhere) is absurd. Somehow the people in charge, plus the intellectual classes who shape opinion and consensus, are going to have to arrive at some clear notion of limits and boundaries. It is actually happening in parts of Europe right now, extempore, where the immediate crisis is worst, for the moment in Italy, Greece, and Hungary — which first interned the refugees and then let them loose on the road to Vienna, probably only a way-station to Germany. Soon all nations across Europe will be agonizing, shucking, jiving, or improvising some sort of desperate response.

Among other confusions of policy and intention, the public “debate” so far does not make any distinction between true political refugees fleeing for their lives or economic migrants seeking to improve their prospects elsewhere. It is surely easy to empathize with both categories of persons, but that doesn’t mean you give up the control of your borders just to make yourself feel better. That is pretty much what has happened in the USA, where the Left, for political expediency, has deemed it indecent to call “illegal” immigrants what they are, and the Right has just been pusillanimous and hypocritical about it. Hence the unfiltered persona of Trump who, for all his titanic shortcomings, has at least managed to make his rivals look like the craven midgets they are.

Likewise, the rise of Marine LePen in France, Geert Wilders in Holland, and other parties seeking limits to immigration, perhaps even deportations. Personally, I reject the idea that it’s “racist” to want to preserve one’s national culture and character (especially in language), or to favor bona fide citizens for gainful employment. Europe has the additional obvious problem of an immigrant Islamic population overtly hostile to European culture and tradition. Why is it morally imperative for Europeans to countenance what amounts to low-grade warfare?

The situation that smoldered for decades is now exploding. Don’t expect to see any end to desperation and instability in MENA, but do expect new demographic crises out of other regions: Indonesia, Ukraine, Pakistan, West Africa, and Brazil, with its cratering economy. It’s not inconceivable that China might bust apart politically, with centrifugal consequences. The global economy is contracting. We have indeed attained the limits to growth. Cheap oil is bygone and the capital infrastructure we have won’t run on expensive oil — including the oil industry itself. New technology or further central bank legerdemain is not going to fix that. We’re in population overshoot and a scramble is underway to bail on the places that just can’t support the people who live there. National boundaries will be defended. Sentimentalists will have to step aside. History is not a bedtime story about bunnies and kittens.

    You’re early with this one. Everybody went to sleep.

    I agree that this refugee crisis portends the future but it’s not the future yet. This current crisis is an instigated crisis. They knew this was a byproduct of destabilizing the Middle East well in advance of its organic collapse. What it does show is how the Elite will handle that coming crisis that will make this current “crisis” look like a cake walk. They’ll have us at each other’s throats as they remain safely tucked away in their prime realty enclaves.

    • Neon Vincent September 7, 2015 at 9:45 am #

      “They’ll have us at each other’s throats as they remain safely tucked away in their prime realty enclaves.”

      In the short run, maybe. In the medium run, I think Greer the Archdruid will be right; they’ll make the mistake of hiring what Greer calls war bands for their security. That will lead to the long run result that the war bands will turn on them and take over. It will be one of the ways that society will turn capital, which requires resources to support, into waste that not only does not need capital, but becomes salvage for the next round of investment. A rapacious elite makes for good waste in that regard.

      In the meantime, I’m going to repeat my suggestion that everyone drink heavily, at least during the presidential campaign, which has 14 more months to go. I have some debate drinking game rules for Carly Fiorina along with sheep themed beers. Also, as a general comment on the quality of the candidates, I recommend everyone drink to Deez Nuts for President. After looking at this motley group seeking to replace President Obama, I can see why a joke candidate is beating most of them!

      • Smoky Joe September 7, 2015 at 10:33 am #

        I think Greer (and JHK) underestimate the persistence of a technical class and our ability to keep things going.

        As for “warbands” taking power? That does have a clear precedent: the barbarians brought into the Legions as Rome declined.

        • Helen Highwater September 7, 2015 at 5:06 pm #

          I wonder how many people in the “technical class” know how to grow food.

          • K-Dog September 7, 2015 at 11:53 pm #

            I have a garden and am learning!

        • Therian September 7, 2015 at 5:34 pm #

          The “technical” class is tied more into the economics of the media and the banking system than the economics of necessity represented by the energy industry, consumer goods, base metals, healthcare, and many other industries. One could even argue that life was better BEFORE the Internet as now we have the hordes spending their lives in front of screens. At least *I* would argue that.

          And that’s going to be a feature of life going forward i.e., we will regain touch with the idea of “necessity” in a way that hasn’t happened in more than half a century.

        • SpeedyBB September 9, 2015 at 12:35 am #

          Precisely my thought, Smoky. The barbarian bands who wore down the Roman legions were largely led by soldiers the Romans had trained in their battle tactics. Sound familiar?

          The fact that many of the second- and third-generation immigrants to the USA have allowed themselves to be co-opted by the right-wingers (not their natural allies) is another sign of their willingness to serve those truly in power.

          As for Indonesia joining the ranks of the “demographic crises” hordes that’s a bit of a surprise (and a stretch). Here we have food, climate, an incredibly rich agricultural base, energy (gas mostly), lebensraum (lots of empty space in Sumatra, Papua, Kalimantan) and profound social stability (Javanese culture being several thousand years old).

          In fact Bangadeshis, Vietnamese, Iraqis, Pakistanis and other boat people have in the past headed for sanctuary here. Seeing the less-than-hospitable reception they got, it has petered out in recent years.

          • mercpl September 11, 2015 at 7:56 pm #

            Indonesia is basically an empire of Java, and as such, it will suffer the same fate as all empires. You say you have lots of free space in Papua, Borneo and Sumatra? Well, I suppose you will after you have burned down all the forests and killled or imprisoned the native populations.

            Javanese culture may be thousands of years old, but it is increasingly being replaced by Arab tribalism in the form of the Islamic fundametalism financed by oil money and implemented by the Wahhabi schools.

      • K-Dog September 7, 2015 at 1:16 pm #

        “In the years ahead, populations will be fleeing and shifting from many more unfavorable corners of the world. The pressures are mounting all over. Alas, the richer nations in which the fleeing poor aspire to gain a foothold, will also be contending with the disabling effects of a universal economic contraction”

        Yes, shifting populations in numbers a healthy nation with full employment could not possibly absorb. Populations who upon arrival will make no attempt at integrating into the existing culture of the nation they find as their new home. Why, because their is nothing in it for them. It will become a planetary tower of babble.

        Our pusillanimous politicians won’t have a clue about what to do and the contempt that they have germinated in the American people with their pointless war on drugs will be cultivated into open hostility. Their incompetence in handling the refugee crisis will be known long before refugees numbers climb to the hundreds of millions, which they will.

        President Kanye West and first lady Kim Kardashian will find the prestige their climb to the top of the social ladder as rubber stampers in chief will be poor compensation for the work they won’t have a clue to know how to do in 2020. By then things will be going in the shitter big time. Cities will be burning and only White House beauty tips will saturate the news. There will be no answers to our troubles.

        Kanye should be careful what he wishes for. Prez Trump won’t be leaving him a country that is in good shape at all. The only good shape will be the exaggerated profile of Kim which will be seen everywhere a picture can be possibly posted or printed. She will still look good in five years and that is good because it will take a big distraction to water down our big troubles into insignificance. But with her ASSets Kim might just be able to pull it off.

        • Therian September 7, 2015 at 5:39 pm #

          Well put, Dawg! I believe that the powers that be are already committed to allowing as many Asians in here as possible. Why? Because they temporarily keep the Social Security and Medicare systems afloat by paying into them.

          Here in California, many locals grouse about how Asians seem to get to the front of every line in the elder care, employment, and other social services systems. They’d better get used to it because corporations (i.e., the REAL government) aren’t going to back candidates who want higher wages, hiring of people who were born here, or other employee-centric systems.

          I take it that your depiction of Prez. Kanye is when we take the final plunge into “Idiocracy” … a funny movie but a scary implication.

          • K-Dog September 7, 2015 at 11:43 pm #

            Yes, ‘Idiocracy’ is in our future if a future we have!

            Your observation about Asians matches mine. Seattle has always had a large Asian population but in the last few years it seems to have doubled in size with accents getting thicker and harder to understand every passing year. As employment goes they all seem to be doing fine. They hire each other.

            The rest of the country probably has no idea what we are talking about for the current Asian influx may be a West Coast phenomena. At least to the degree it is noticeable. Native Americans must have felt the same way 150 years ago.

            Therian,

            You will appreciate the irony of my bicycling around the outskirts of my neighbourhood a few years ago. I turned into a new housing development to see what was going on. A hundred Spanish stations were blaring mariachi music in all flavors as busy workers pounded away on their hammers. Now this same high end development of faux early American colonial houses is fully settled with newly arrived Asians with nary a white or other minority in sight.

            Illegal immigrants building homes for future legal immigrants while local residents take in each others laundry to get by. It boggles the mind. But not as much as Kim Kardashians popularity. Try explaining the secret to Kim’s popularity to a newly arrived alien visitor.


            It all started when an ageing black sports star practically beheads two white people outside a condo with a knife. Kim’s dad who is a friend of this ageing sports star defends him in court but upon finding out his friend is actually guilty has a breakdown and develops cancer as a result of a suppressed immune system. This makes young Kim and her sisters further victims to OJ’s murderous slashing rage.

            Kim’s mother then remarries an aimless Chris Jenner who can’t figure out that he has a charmed life and is a guy. Chris ultimately decides to become the inner woman he believes himself to be several years into a reality TV show that showcases what is supposed to be a happy family life. Abet a family much addicted to drama without a strong male role model in which to raise daughters.

            Sympathy for Kim grows for her many losses making her look really good dressed in either white or black; and on this story goes.

            It is enough to make an Aliens head explode. ‘Grey’ matter would be everywhere!

          • Therian September 8, 2015 at 12:01 am #

            This is for K-Dog … I got no reply button so that I could reply to your reply, Dawg. Board format is pretty lousy.

            Your observations in Seattle actually mimic mine, one for one. In every South Bay town from Palo Alto to San Jose, formerly mixed or Anglo neighborhoods are now either exclusively Chinese or, less common, exclusively Indian. They might as well have a gate at the edges of these enclaves with an “Anglos Keep Out” sign upon it.

            The thing is, these aliens are NOT here to be Americans. They’re here for the dough in high tech jobs. They walk down the street yammering in Cantonese or Mandarin. Their social groups are decidedly monothematic in ethnicity. Portland might be the ONLY West Coast town which hasn’t been utterly taken over by Asians. In California, the Central Coast is the ONLY remaining Anglo outpost. The interior towns like Fresno and Modesto are Mexican (to the point where the signs in the unemployment offices are PRIMARILY in Spanish). The SF Bay Area is now a whopping 40% East Asian. I suspect LA and SD are closing in on this figure.

            If it was TRUE diversity … the “melting pot” I wouldn’t object. If the invaders played fair without cutting in lines for everything I wouldn’t object. If they spoke English in public I wouldn’t object (and they damned well DEMAND ballots in Mandarin). If they were better drivers I wouldn’t object. There’s a reason why much of China is still a shithole with unsafe jobs, dead and empty new “cities”, organ harvesting clinics, and air quality that actually adds to California’s pollution. It’s populated with Chinese.

          • K-Dog September 8, 2015 at 2:07 am #

            It even confuses me and my head hasn’t exploded. I meant Bruce Jenner. Khris is the mom and she has a K not a C. The C came from Caitlyn Jenner who used to be Bruce. O had a little trouble keeping it all straight in my head.

            “If it was TRUE diversity … the “melting pot” I wouldn’t object. If the invaders played fair without cutting in lines for everything I wouldn’t object.”

            No melting is going on in a society that has everybody plugged into cell phones as they walk down the street. Everybody now drifts to having a small circle of friends in their own private bubble they consider reality. Once people had to interact with strangers to get by in life but the digital world makes new rules. Everybody becomes isolated from everybody else outside their circle, Social skills do not flourish.

            Asians are good and bad like everyone else. You are right,
            China is a shithole with unsafe jobs. It has dead and empty new cities. It has organ harvesting clinics and a serious investment in the death penalty. Air pollution which blows across the Pacific to California. All because it is populated with Chinese; who happen to be human beings with a long culture and history. There are aspects to Asian culture which are good; others which are horrible. They are as all other cultures of humanity are; a mixed lot of good and bad.

            But philosophy aside; they have been arriving for a while.

            Funny how everyone seems to look outside themselves to judge
            the lack of backbone of others. We either have a country or we don’t as said by current real estate tycoon. Voting at first was restricted to people who owned property. Maybe someone who has a great vested interest to protect his investment is the one to protect the country as well.If your not part of the solution then maybe your part of the problem. Stand up and do something or stay on the porch and hope for the best.

      Yes.

      Much is mysterious until one invokes contrapositive logic:
      1. if they wanted X they would do Y
      2. they did not do Y
      3. therefore they did not want X

      Yet, for some reason, we the people are baffled by the simplest of strategems. They merely assert that they really, really, and truly, truly, and patriotically, patriotically, wanted X.

      No wonder the educated class is migrating to safety in the NSA. If I were young, I would probably do likewise.

      What Europe ought to be doing is figuring out a way to stabilize Syria and stop the refugees at the source. But, that would require that they actually take action themselves militarily, and not just watch while ISIS runs rampant in Syria.

      Meanwhile the USA does what exactly?

    • petraeus September 7, 2015 at 7:09 pm #

      James’s only mistake was believing any part of this cesspool we call humanity is worth saving. Let the nukes drop.

      The way down in our era IS going to be different than previous eras. In the West, we have so much stuff to unwind. So many deadly things that can go wrong or go boom. We have a human population size that has never before existed on the face of this Earth.

      What Jim calls our Long Emergency, or clusterfuck for short, can easily get crazy quick. All of these emerging and ongoing catastrophes mean that a BIG EVENT will just set it off.

      If that happens, the leadership around the world, the elites, won’t be much better off than the rest of us. As an example, take country, the USA.

      How does a nation in decline manage or administer 20,000 or more planet killing nuclear bombs? How will we keep the people, maintenance and all of the supporting structures in place to keep them under “lock and key”? No declining empire in history has had to deal with that problem. And we’re not the only nation with weapons of mass destruction.

      I don’t wish this on anyone or any nation, but I suspect before we reach that state, some, as Jim puts it, “corn pone leader” here or abroad will set it off.

      Hang in there. Interesting, sad & difficult times ahead.

  2. BackRowHeckler September 6, 2015 at 9:22 pm #

    Jeez Jim, i don’t know, according to today’s front page NYT story, German citizens are overjoyed at the arrival of these migrants from the Muslim lands, just dizzy with happiness at the thought of this alien diaspora living amongst them. Why, they were cheering as the nowcomers disembarked from trains and busses in Munich. The story also said that each and every migrant gets 150 euros per month allowance ‘walking around money’ and another 450 per month for other expenses. Not too bad if you’re from Eritrea or the Sudan, that’s like 10 years wages.

    brh

    • pintada September 7, 2015 at 8:59 am #

      First, they will cheer because we all want to be generous and enlightened. When 100K turns into 400K, there will be grumbling and hand wringing, and when the numbers are in the millions, they will discover that walls sound like a very good plan. But when the money runs out, the walls will no longer be manned or maintainable. Economic conditions will even out, and there will be no point in trying to migrate.

      The globalist media (Pravda) is pushing the photo of a drowned immigrant child found washed up on a beach. The bleeding heart liberals of the world now want to open their homes to the poor suffering Muslims and Africans.

      What they should show are all those hundreds of bloody faces of those pretty white girls in Finland, Sweden and elsewhere. These women were raped and beaten to a bloody pulp by invaders from the Middle East and Africa. Thousands of brutalize women in Europe and England. Anyone who talks about it is branded a Nazi or Racist.

      I have spent a couple nights looking at film clips from Europe. The Africans are tearing the shit out of Greece and Italy. Mobs are roaming down the streets destroying traffic signs, smashing traffic lights, tipping over dumpsters and throwing rocks and trash through windows. Fires are being set and people are being attacked. All because they are upset about HOW THEY ARE BEING TREATED. They have RIGHTS and want money and fancy homes to stay in. Bleeding hearts are feeding them and they throw the food on the ground because some of the cans have expired sell dates. Hundreds of Muslims have TURNED DOWN FREE BOTTLES OF WATER because the bottles have a RED CROSS printed on the boxes. When food is brought to them they mob and attack the trucks and workers. The Africans are DEMANDING FOOD from their native country. They don’t like all that boring food from Europe. They also don’t like those tents they are FORCED TO LIVE IN. Millions of these cockroach’s are taking over Europe.

      Just saw a story about a trial in Sweden for eleven (seven convicted) Muslims who spent hours raping a white women they lured into a refugee camp. There are cities in Sweden where the local population live in fear and do not go out at night. The liberals are welcoming these savages into their countries. The Muslims have taken over whole towns and have formed criminal and drug dealing Mafias.

      It is obvious that war has been declared on the Anglo-Saxon people of the world. GATEWAY PUNDIT and SABOTEUR 365 have some really good coverage on what is going on overseas. England has become a lost country. These Muslims and African are just as violent, if not worst than what we are dealing with. I cannot imagine what it will be like after they move MILLIONS MORE of these people into the large black populated cities like they are doing with the Mexicans. –Paul Kerseys SBPDL site.

          Over at [Takis?] I read an interesting tale.

          The Israelis go to the War Monuments, not the peace marches.

          here,

          I went to the Holocaust Museum near Jerusalem. Or to be more precise I was dragooned there with the rest of my group by the State-provided guide.
          Not many people go there and not a single local.

          Apparently local school groups are taken to museums covering Israel’s wars or Masada. [!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

      US press especially, and media in general, are not reflecting the huge negative emotion building in European countries re the possibly 2-5 million Muslim arrivals expected in the next few years … articles such as this are starting to appear in Europe:

      “There are now more than 4,000 covert ISIS gunmen “ready” across the European Union, claimed an operative working for Islamic State, taking advantage of generosity towards refugees to infiltrate Europe, welcoming nations like Sweden and Germany, he said … the majority blend in and travel amongst a huge tide of illegal migrants flooding Europe. Two Turkish refugee-smugglers backed up the claims made by the ISIS Syrian operative, one admitted to helping more than ten trained ISIS rebels infiltrate Europe under the guise of asylum seekers.”
      http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/555434/Islamic-State-ISIS-Smuggler-THOUSANDS-Extremists-into-Europe-Refugees

      And note to JHK – there are already millions of refugees from Ukraine, in Russia, in Belarus, and in the EU in Poland, Slovakia & Czechia … however they are assimilating easily due to common Slavic heritage and closeness of language

        I can’t believe that you’re the same person who, a few days ago, wrote that really atrocious comment about the deaths at an Iowa hog factory that you characterized as “some rural wisdom”.

          Sprawl,
          Regarding the hog comments…it reminded me of a local, about 15 miles away, who raised hogs. Somehow, when in the pen, he hit the ground, and the hogs killed and ate him…some clothing and a few pieces of him remained. Also, I have an immediate neighbor who raises a few hogs. One of the Bastards hates him…clicks his teeth at him every time he approaches the pen (something like the zombie in World War Z), and bites him every chance he gets. With that in mind, and a lack of judgment, I sallied forth…my apologies.

          • sprawlcapital September 12, 2015 at 4:14 am #

            Apology accepted. Thanks, Elysian.

      Most of the German Press does not have a comments section after stories about the flood of Syrian immigrants. But when they do, the comments are overwhelmingly NEGATIVE.

      Howdy, BRH. European employers like cheap Muslims just like American employers like cheap Indians and Chinese. Of course, the mainstream media is only going to depict happy happy joy joy when it comes to welcoming foreign labor. It’s a balkanized world and this benefits absolutely no one EXCEPT the people leaving those shitholes … and bringing their horrible values and horrible driving with them.

    Great work today, JHK!

    To me its about numbers of people, more than race or language. The US is over-populated now, and most of our growth is from in-migration, and most of that from south of the border.

    Language and culture are important too, however. Where I work, the custodial staff is mostly Hispanic, mostly with poor English language skills. Communicating with them is a problem. They are employed by a contracting company; they are not employees of the entity that pays me. I have never asked anyone if they are “undocumented”. My employer saves lots of money, i am certain, by this contracting scheme, rather than hiring them directly.

    • sprawlcapital September 6, 2015 at 10:09 pm #

      The supervisor of the custodial staff at my place of employment is from Honduras. His English is fairly good, and he serves as the translator for his staff.

      Population is the primary driver. Virtually every aspect of the impending planetary storm derives from this. Our numbers will be reduced of course, in ways too awful to contemplate.

    • Therian September 7, 2015 at 5:46 pm #

      See my post above re immigrant labor. Employers LOVE it because they pay low wages and low benefits. This will only get worse as the secular trend in disappearing middle classes extends in N. America and Europe. They will issue scare tactics to make the native honkies cringe for their Medicare and Social Security and IRAs i.e., “no immigrants, no entitlements” will be their motto.

      Hence, having driver’s tests which are prejudiced in favor of Mexicans will be one of a dozen examples where foreigners are treated far, far better than native born Americans.

    “Why, they were cheering as the newcomers disembarked from trains and busses in Munich.” — brh

    ================

    Well, yes. Germany is gaining new, appreciative, hard working citizens. Among those newcomers are electrical engineers, doctors, and other educated professionals who were, after all, speaking to CNN reporters in English, expressing their love for Germany, their gratitude to the German people, and their desire to learn German. Those immigrants are a net positive and will make Germany stronger.

    • vengeur September 7, 2015 at 3:03 pm #

      “Among those newcomers are electrical engineers, doctors, and other educated professionals …Those immigrants are a net positive and will make Germany stronger.” The average German knows this is BS and that these immigrants will be a huge financial burden. But BIG BUSINESS loves them, because they know these immigrants will need food and shelter, and they don’t care WHO (the working taxpayers) pays for it , as long as their PROFITS increase.

    • Therian September 7, 2015 at 5:49 pm #

      Really? They don’t work half as smart as the native Germans. The professionals you cite are a vanishingly small part of the immigrant influx in Germany. Most of the influx are Muslims who serve coffee and sweep floors. As usual, you are full of multiculti, one world bullshit that is all propaganda and very little reality. When were you last in Germany? Do you seriously think native Germans as a whole are welcoming these people?

    • Bird Dog September 8, 2015 at 6:43 am #

      One cannot ‘love’ a country one doesn’t know: it takes a lifetime, centuries even, to build such deep sentiment.

      It is a matter of History, of Race, of Culture.

      The desire to assimilate – and behave modestly and responsibly within the law – is an acceptable substitute, but it is not the real thing.

      One cannot feel ‘gratitude’ to those from whom one is taking, and on whom one is imposing oneself.

    Meet Laith Al Saleh – yesterday an ISIS militant, today a refugee

    Having hundreds of thousands of refugees from Syria and other hot spots of the Middle East, the authorities of European countries are paying very little attention to the study of the past of forced migrants.

    Meanwhile, among the refugees there are different people.

    Not all of migrating to the EU for a better life are really who they say they are. Young men of military bearing strikingly stand out from the crowd of truly destitute, persecuted people. In their eyes, there is no fear and doom, like the rest. They are calm and confident, and probably operate on a pre-approved program.

    http://politikus.ru/uploads/posts/2015-09/1441549031_qwe.jpg

    http://politikus.ru/uploads/posts/2015-09/1441566548_1.jpg

    This is Laith Al Saleh, a plasterer from Aleppo. Rather, plasterer this guy was about 5 years ago, before he joined ISIS. Internet is full with numerous photographs of his participation in the organization.
    Characteristic scar on the face of Al-Saleh leaves no doubt. In the spring the man fought on the side of ISIS.

    Naturally, such as he do not settle in Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria and other poorer European countries. They all need Germany, or, at least, Austria. Question – why.

    I’m afraid that the answers to these questions, we are going to find out in the near future.

    Does anybody know if these tens of thousands of migrants decending into the heart of Europe … have they been screened for infectious diseases? Because, in the crapholes they’re coming from, some pretty nasty diseases are prevalent. Does that free medical care extended to the German people also include these newcomers? What if Jim is right and this is just the first wave, the first of many? Are there enough resources in Germany to take care of the whole third world, and by the 5th or 6th wave will Geman young people still be cheering migrants as the train pulls into Frankfurt?

    Personally, I do not share the views of our host that we are in the process of “the winding down of the techno-industrial system and the global economy with it.”

    I think that we are in the process of winding down the current Imperial politico-financial structure of world dominance by a single country and Bretton Woods financial system that is associated with it. But the agony of transition to something new is going to be painful for the majority of the people.

    Latest Russian breakthroughs in the area of 4-generation nuclear breeder reactors on fast neutrons and 5-generation of U238/Thorium reactors with compact high-energy accelerators such as BWLAP – Backward Wave Linear Accelerator for Protons – will compensate for the fact that cheap oil is not going to be available.

    Putin is going to give a speech at the end of September on the General Assembly of UN. Would be interesting to hear what he will have to say.

    Leaders of global capitalism acknowledged early on there would be winners and losers. It should not be lost on anyone that many of these same leaders saw no problem with population growth. Or that the losers might also be among those with high population growth rates. Which in turn might lead to very highly skewed populations of young, unemployed young men. So, what to do? Why yes, toss in the “freedom” cocktail. With a big can of techno whoop ass. Just to show the world the winners got this all under control.

    All at tremendous cost of capital resources and human flesh not to mention the extreme opportunity cost of doing something that might really help the losers, like a Marshall Plan for the Middle East. Which, if begun about the time of Shock and Awe, might have prevented the flow of refugees we see now in Europe. But, that would have been an opportunity cost to the profiteers of whoop ass. But, shit started flowing downhill over there after WWII during the cold war when we had to bolster the colonial interests of our European allies as a defense against Big Red. Cluster Fuck has a very long tail. Europe is reaping what it sowed when it lay in ruins resembling the present day Syria. Europe is closer to a source of sympathy for these refugees than we will ever be. And with fewer gated communities harboring the winners.

    Add now a future of climate change, disappearing fresh water supplies, repeated economic disruptions and you got yourself the real mess that will endure and not just the one that will do for now. (No Country for Old Men).

    And no, to Finca, nuclear energy will not compensate for expensive oil. Please consider that oil is the energy source that moves and undergirds all energy, resource and infrastructure developments. There is no other liquid combustible fuel to substitute in adequate quantities for oil. We are way too far downstream on this river of oil, a hydraulic civilization in its own right. You might think we would look at this cheap oil as an opportunity to build a world less dependent on oil, but instead we look on it as an opportunity to purchase gas guzzlers — the American Way will not be negotiated! Freedom!

    • routersurfer September 7, 2015 at 9:08 am #

      Maybe we could have had the technology dream IF we had started down that path in the 50’s or 60’s– that train is over the horizon. The 1% will want to restart that path after the 99% are removed by market forces. My guess is that plan is more unworkable than suburban living. Ted Turner nailed it years ago. World population 400 – 600 million, maybe smaller. Most will be farmers. Hopefully the Warlords and land owner will be killed off. I do not like the odds. But that is my hope.

      That’s one of the points I made in lowest Labor Day gas prices in 11 years both good and bad; people are using the current conditions as an excuse to buy less efficient vehicles. Within a couple of years, that will likely prove to be folly, either because the price of gas will shoot up again or because the U.S. will go into recession and a lot of those people will lose their jobs. Either way, they won’t be able to afford their cars. Making that argument now won’t make much of an impression. The locals are too happy that the recent gas price spike turned out to be a dead cat bounce.

Then again, maybe it’s already started.

    What a shame JHK is not being carried in most papers. Few will have a program to the coming show. For the past 20 years or so many people of wealth and means have moved to the major cities of the West. Most of the West just accepted it as a wonderful flow of “New” money into the capitalist system. Now, the educated working class people are on the move. We speak of all the talent and energy they are going to bring but forget the resentment of the native born they will displace in job markets with fewer and fewer needs for the technocrat class. The next wave will be the mass of people that still work with their back and hands. Flags and support will not be given to the next wave. Maybe the full Robot Employment Act of 2020 will be to remove all “unwanted” population. R.E.A. of 2020 sounds like a bad Arnold movie from the 1980’s–but may happen. 80% + will die without oil.

    The Sky is the Limit!

    Today I was watching the news and they had an interview with Newt Gingrich re: Trump and why he’s doing so well in the polls.
    Newt put it succinctly.
    Trump keeps talking about being “winners” and Americans want to be winners. In this world there are never limits to how high the stock market goes or how much oil we can waste, or eat through ….
    This is an economic model that has no limits to growth…the model is a down-right panacea. (not for the billions of regular people, though)

    However……what is never mentioned on the media is:

    Americans want to be a sovereign nation. Americans want to be national not global.
    Globalism is only for the CEO class and central bankers with no allegiance to the nation. They are the looters and privatizers who force debt on the world and for whom all trade deals and wars and central technocratic control of the world economy are done.

    Just to add insult to injury to the world, the US hegemons hate competition. AND the EU as a industrial competitive force is guess what? COMPETITION…

    YES, they are our NATO vassals and we appear to be their ally, snake eyes and all, but if we can take down their social safety net and flood them with Islamic refugees, what could be better than that?
    How bogged down in chaos can they become?
    Pepe Escobar doesn’t dub us the Empire of Chaos for nothing.
    One can see our handiwork all over the globe creating strife in every corner, so we can clean up

    ……we can never lose.—So the economic growth and the cost of living can go sky high and the billionaire class can keep getting richer at our expense. This can go on forever!

      While many have been pretending that simply putting the correct authoritarian, militaristic A-holes in charge is going to solve these little troubles that JHK has the temerity to keep bringing up, migration (approved or no) is going to tell many tales of how things are going to wring out for the human race.

    Oh, lest I forget Bernie Sanders does the same for the progressives that Trump does for the conservatives. He also demands a modern nation state that provides a social safety net as does Trump. (Yes, Trump says he’s for a social safety net. Trump is not a Neolib or Neocon, but he plays into the conservative narrative on the sovereign nation state issue.)

    What Bernie does is take the Dem party back to the FDR paradigm which is to say that those who have captured govt to reduce their taxes to nothing are gonna have to pay into the crumbling system again.

    With a rational plan, we could easily support 100 million people on what remains of the planet. But a rational plan precludes sentimentality. And the world exudes sentimentality. Therefore, a rational plan is not in the cards until things get worse. At which point, other emotions will be harnessed to divide and conquer, and prevent a rational plan.

    We may decry the lack of rational planning by all the responsible agencies, but we should remember that we, the people, will not stand for rational plans. Nor will our masters. Because if we get rational about peak resources, we might begin to get rational about oligarchs. And that would never do.

        In the unlikely event that you are serious, how much money do they have? How many corporations do they control (% GGP will do)? How many tools in office?

        Anyway, I think that I may have been obscure in trying to explain my point. What I meant to say can be told as a story from the popular culture: Star Trek. Captain Kirk finds a fugitive arch-criminal in a troupe of touring actors, a man named Kodos. His crime was to create and execute a rational plan to preserve the maximum number of people, currently enduring famine, with relief a known time in the future. All the Galaxy abhorred Kodos.

        An interesting example of life mimicking art, don’t you think?

    “History is not a bedtime story about bunnies and kittens.”

    ROFL.

    People are gonna move where the goodies are, or what is left of the goodies– the “West.” The multinationals have done a fantastic job selling the World the lifestyle obsessions which saw their heyday 30 years ago. So, yeah– who wouldn’t wanna stuff their face with Happy Meals & Big Gulps? What these refugees are going to find out to their great chagrin however, is that the mounds of toys and sugar plums aren’t there anymore, and the only employment opportunities are as Uber drivers, or Sologig.com part-timers.

    I’d disagree to a point about borders closing. There is a large element in the West who are mewling, hand-wringing, self-haters. They are obsessed with the “diversity” philosophy, which is the Left’s kneejerk reaction to entropic decline. The argument is, is that if “we just throw non-whites” into a problem, everything will magically get better. I’m simplifying a bit, but not too much.

    When food and freshwater resources start to get thin then maybe, ‘maybe’ something will happen, but not until then, and still the Left intelligentsia and media will be teary eyed about stopping the refugee parade.

    Human society is generally not preventative, on the contrary, it’s reactive. So, with that principal in mind, expect a good deal of ugliness and instability before this is over.

    • sauerkraut September 7, 2015 at 11:05 am #

      Left and Right are another example of divide and conquer. At least pity is nicer than hate.

      As for “a good deal of ugliness and instability before this is over,” with all due respect, I don’t think that “this” is ever going to get better. It’s just a matter of how bad it gets before you join the die-off.

      A good strategy would be to join the procrastinating side while there is still time. Practical advice is to join the national security establishment.

      • Janos Skorenzy September 7, 2015 at 2:20 pm #

        No, the hatred is conserved and transferred to their own people – usually the ones who oppose the great experiment, also know as the great replacement. And the compassion or pity is now for the aliens.

        Thus normal xenophobia is replaced by xenophillia. And you think this is an improvement? It’s a sickness – like ducklings who imprinted on a beach ball as a mother. They grown up and try to fuck the beach ball. And you know what? It doesn’t work and their genes are not passed on.

        • sauerkraut September 7, 2015 at 4:46 pm #

          No, I don’t think so. Hatred is not conserved, and not being conserved, need not be transferred. I speak of conscious beings only.

          But yes, I do think that xenophillia is better than xenophobia, because it is less violent and less prone to use as a tool of social control. It helps to stay focussed on the issues and not be distracted by appeals to the limbic system.

          • Janos Skorenzy September 7, 2015 at 5:23 pm #

            Energy is neither created nor destroyed. Your credit is someone else’s debit. Your love for the alien is your hatred – or worse, indifference – to your own people.

            You have much to learn about the physics of consciousness. And Europeans are being thrown out of their homes to make room for the aliens. Is this not hatred – or the cold hatred of indifference?

            Hot or energized hatred can sometimes be transformed into something positive. But your indifference is well nigh incorrigible. The Cure of Ars would sometimes weep for sinners who could not weep for themselves. This sometimes worked. Alas, I am no saint and just want you deported with your new friends.

          • sauerkraut September 7, 2015 at 6:45 pm #

            This is a reply to Janos, 5:23 PM.

            You are right, I have much to learn about the physics of consciousness. So does everybody else. It is physical energy which is neither created nor destroyed in non-nuclear processes. Psychic energy is not so constrained; read, “relax”.

            You mistake my passion for indifference, though I don’t quite see how. I am passionate about the rational, and the rational includes staying focussed on the issue. Immigration policy needs a rational basis, not a porridge of conflicting sentimentalities and emotions.

            Personally, I would suggest refusing all immigrants and all refugees unless they were educated, skilled, tolerant, non-religious, and law-abiding. Actually, I know some very fine people who miss on two of the above criteria, but even so, I would suggest a requirement for all of the above.

            You see, Janos, it just takes a little rational thought to do better than either of the polarized positions in which the oligarchs wish to imprison us: (1) close the borders or (2) open the borders. Theirs is the fallacy of the excluded middle.

          • Janos Skorenzy September 7, 2015 at 11:52 pm #

            No, sometimes things aren’t in the middle. The Oligarchs want open borders, period. And we don’t need the immigrants – 0, zilch, none. nyet. You’re just trying to be reasonable with unreasonable people. You and all the rest of would be conservatives. Thus they slowly move the agenda in their direction. Sometimes compromise just isn’t the answer.

          • sauerkraut September 8, 2015 at 12:00 am #

            Thank you for clarifying your position, Janos.

        “As for “a good deal of ugliness and instability before this is over,” with all due respect, I don’t think that “this” is ever going to get better. It’s just a matter of how bad it gets before you join the die-off.”

    • Janos Skorenzy September 7, 2015 at 2:15 pm #

      Absolutely. Blacks and Browns are their religion. They revel in bowing to their gods. In Germany, people are being thrown out of their homes to make room for the sacred brown Muslims.

    We will pay dearly for our lack of population control. After all, all species seem to be endowed with the need to produce offspring. In this regard, humans are just like other animals. However, it is disappointing that we haven’t used our highly evolved brain to overcome this ancient drive.

    Instead of all the gloom and doom, why don’t we take a positive outlook of the big picture? Change is coming, no doubt, and the world in the future will be different than it is now. Humans seem to be hard-wired to fear change – with some justification.

    History is filled with migrations. Why shouldn’t they continue into the present? Migration usually brings strife as different societies are thrown together. But when that happens, something good can come out of it. But just as – sorry to say janos and other white supremacists- the so-called white race is doomed to be merged with other races (even though there may not be a concept of race in nature) into golden humans, Western civilization will be merged as well. And being the big picture optimist I am, the good qualities of every culture will remain.

      Sorry Bill, Western Culture is superior to Muslim and Hispanic Mestizo culture. The transformation is downward. If you people had been smart you would have nurtured us, but your hatred was too great. You all are the very definition of a Hostile Elite.

      • beantownbill. September 7, 2015 at 4:19 pm #

        I don’t know how you define superior, but I generally agree with you. However, I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “on any given Sunday”. Sometimes the best team does not win. Remember, Muslims were the most advanced civilization in the world in the 10th and 11th centuries, so they have something in their makeup that can dominate. Obviously, I’m not for them, but I wouldn’t be so cavalier about their chances to rule again.

        I don’t hate, it’s just a form of fear, and it creates bad energy. You said we (Jews) all are hostile elites, but not me, so your generalization is wrong, by definition.

        • Janos Skorenzy September 7, 2015 at 4:43 pm #

          You support the hostile Jewish Elite as fellow Tribesmen – thus the “you”. You are already talking about us in the past tense – you never do that about your own people.

        • Bird Dog September 8, 2015 at 7:01 am #

          ‘Muslims’ were not the most advanced civilization in the world in the 10th and 11th centuries: one might reflect on Byzantium and China at that time. That meme is merely propaganda.

          If we dig deeper, we find that the Arab invaders handed over the task of running their empire to clever and cultured Iranians and Syrians – definitely not desert Arab throat-slitters.

          There is no link between Islam and High Culture, any more than between Christianity and High Culture.

          • beantownbill. September 8, 2015 at 9:46 am #

            Arabs invented algebra and were great astronomers and medical scientists. I don’t rate how clever they were in managing their conquered territories as a measure of “advanced”.

    • PeteAtomic September 7, 2015 at 5:22 pm #

      I largely agree with your post. Immigration into America has largely been left alone because of this one question:

      Do you really want to be out hand picking crops on a Saturday from 6 am to 6pm?

      Well I lied, there are a few other questions as well, like:
      “Do you want to pay over a dollar for a head of lettuce?”

      And the answer overwhelmingly for most every American citizen is a resounding “NO.” This type of work is why we have a large migrant group in the US working in agriculture.

      Americans consciously go to their S-marts out there and fill up on the cheapest product. They could possibly go to one of their local producers (if they are lucky to live in a part of the country where that exists), but few people do.

      It’s a reason that Walmart continues to exist. People in the US stopped supporting their small businesses and small producers, and now we’re reaping some of the costs of that with monopolies and an underemployed underclass.

          No need to shout, just need to provide a reference. Do you mean legal immigrants or illegal?

          And what has that to do with lowering the cost of produce by using their low-priced labour? You must know that corporations are built on exploiting economic externalities, that is, offloading the true costs of the operations onto the public. That is the statistic you need to quote to make your case.

      • elysianfield September 8, 2015 at 11:44 am #

        Pete,
        I would opine that Walmart continues to exist at the sufferance of the Federal Government and it’s 47 Billion dollar a year snap payments…that, of course, and it’s continued subsidization of Walmarts work force with welfare, housing assistance, and, again, snap payments.

        • PeteAtomic September 8, 2015 at 4:03 pm #

          Absolutely.

      • sharonsj September 12, 2015 at 6:46 pm #

        Actually, the local producers sell veggies at prices lower than the supermarkets. Only if you want organic, farm-raised, free range, no antibiotic food does it cost more.

        As for illegal aliens, I’m a diehard liberal and yet I want illegals deported. We have a separate method for bringing in farm workers to do what fat, lazy Americans won’t and that’s fine with most people. What is worse are the H1-B visas for hoards of Indians taking the high-paying tech jobs for less than half what an American got paid. And we have yet to discuss how illegals have killed good middle-class jobs in whole industries such as construction.

    I suppose that was the attitude when Polish immigrants arrived, or Irish, or Chinese, or any other group you don’t think is part of your tribe.

These “refugees,” coming into Europe are overwhelmingly young men, ages 16 to 30. The LSM manages to find a few children and women to put in the foreground of their photo ops – but look at all the men in the backgrounds.

      Damn right!

      Some persons of enormous power – a CABAL – a shadow organization – there are people who are totally responsible for this CATASTROPHE. It just appears to well orchestrated.

      The Europeans need to get angry and active fast ( I rather like what the Hungarian president said regarding the “crisis”) if this deluge is to be stopped, otherwise, like Jim alludes to – Europe is game over. Will want to go visit there just like Detroit, Camden or East St Louis, USA.

      When last in Ireland I acquired an official flyer from the Irish Postal Service with a photo that is comprised of 30% visible minorities) It’s not agitprop – just a reminder of what level down the escalator is heading to.

      The technocrats, politicians and intelligentsia at the national and EU level are just the marionettes in this shit-firestorm that is now raging in the Eurozone. They are just the switch operators.

    If you were to elect me president and not The Donald, I promise to end the immigration issue and help reduce the world population.

    To put an end to immigration, I’ll annex Mexico whether it likes it or not. Think of what this will do for the Prison Industrial Complex which will grow exponentially rounding up all the drug cartels when drugs are legalized by executive order.

    That’s another thing — thanks to BHO’s precedent, I’ll do everything by executive decree. Fuck Congress. Who needs Congress when you have Executive Orders? Not me. Not anymore.

    Regarding population control, I’ll institute mandatory sterilization campaigns starting in the third world and working its way through the second and first worlds. If any nation balks at this or the United Nations feigns indignation, I’ll nuke them into silence — another form of population control.

    I’m counting on your vote, but make it in the form of dollars — the only votes that matter.

    And this story seems about ready to be wrapped up, with the triumph of greed and ignorance in the areas of energy and the environment, and the triumph of realpolitik, if not xenophobia, in the intertwined areas of war and its inevitable displacement of innocent people.

    What an interesting message from our host this week… the crux of which was this one sentence:

    “So, the idea that the nations currently bethinking themselves “rich” can take in, shelter, and employ the masses fleeing MENA (and elsewhere) is absurd.”-J H K.

    Since it’s impossible to create a successful strategy without having an actionable understanding of the internal situation as well as the external, the Merkel’s ‘Open Arms’ policy is a load of nonsense. Clearly, someone isn’t being honest with themselves about what they have and are likely to. We’re already seeing the future, and we can’t afford it.

    As PeteAtomic opined:

    “…What these refugees are going to find out to their great chagrin however, is that the mounds of toys and sugar plums aren’t there anymore, and the only employment opportunities are as Uber drivers, or Sologig.com part-timers.”-pete.

    And that’s precisely what the disgruntled masses of banlieu-dwelling Muslims have already learned in France and the UK. This isn’t a matter of speculation. ‘The West’ is already not handling the workload, it’s stupid to pile more in.

    Additionally, the probability that there are ISIS operatives blending in with the refugee stream is HIGH. The blowback from a highly visible terrorist incident would wildly destabilize the region – to the advantage of *no-one* – but that won’t keep it from happening, effective long-term planning is in short supply these days.

    By the way, I’m not writing this because I don’t like immigrants or immigration as ‘a matter of principle’ (rational or otherwise). Nor am I writing this because I don’t have hands-on experience of the issue from source-nations forward. I’m saying this because it isn’t 20 years ago, options are not the same, times have changed.

    • Janos Skorenzy September 7, 2015 at 4:34 pm #

      Of course. We know you are a good person! “Not liking immigrants is akin to racism – the ultimate sin.

      Before one is either before or against immigration as a principle, one might ask who are the people immigrating. After all, not all immigrants are created equal. How wise the Church was to use Aristotle’s philosophy with its respect for both quantity and individuality, as opposed to Plato’s vast and spiritualized categories.

      Being “for” immigration makes no sense in and of itself from an Aristotlean point of view.

    “”I am happy that Germany has become a country that many people outside of Germany now associate with hope. This is something to cherish when you look back at our history.” –Angela Merkel

    God bless Germany for opening their hearts to so many 16 to 30 year old immigrants who want to work, marry, raise children, and contribute to make Germany even greater than it is now as Europe’s shining star.

    And congratulations to Europe as a whole for developing a rational plan to accept new immigrants. Germany is taking more than 40,000 and France 30,000, with rational plans to relocate immigrants from Italy, Greece and Hungary, to other parts of Europe.

    This open borders policy is a defeat for fearful xenophobia and will only make for a more diverse Europe… a more formidable, a much stronger multicultural European union.

    I am so impressed that Germany is giving immediate citizenship so the immigrants can begin to work and contribute immediately. None of the USA’s vindictive “pathway to citizenship” which takes years and makes immigrants jump through so many hoops… all the while exploiting them for their labor and accepting their tax payments into the national treasury. We need to learn from Germany.

    Legalize the Mexican immigrants now!

    Immediate amnesty and immediate full citizenship for the 11 million in the USA, without the bullshit “pathway to citizenship requirements”!

      Do you own a car? Swell.

      Do you have a garage to park it in? Excellent.

      Please take your car, park in the garage with the motor running, and close the garage door.

      Put your best, most awesome music on the radio, CD or MP3.

      Sit back with some of your favorite beer, wine or spirits and perhaps have a Zanax, diazepam or two ( or seven) and relax and thoroughly enjoy the tide of positive, calming feelings.

      Let me tell you that should you do it – will be similar to the effect of the hordes overwhelming Europe and the USA.

    As usual, Bishop Williamson gets it right. Political Correctness is an illicit mixture of Communism and degraded Christianity. No sane or godly person desires the destruction of his own country so he can “love” a bunch of foreign invaders. All people are not the same so they can’t be treated the same. The equal treatment of unequal people is godlessness and tyranny.

    Mr Kunstler’s take on it is good too: such people want to “appear” to love the alien. In other words, it’s more of that disease of White People known as competitive altruism. I’m better than you because I love Blacks more – even if from a distance. You don’t want your kids going to a minority majority school? You’re a racist.

    I don’t know. Just last night I was hiking down a “greenbelt” trail within the city limits with all my painting gear in tow when I saw a group of young black men up ahead on the trail. I was in a semi-bad mood so I just kept walking in their direction without presenting the impression that I was going to yield in any fashion whatsoever. When I got closer I sensed that these young men were very friendly, respectable types as they clearly were making extra room for me to pass. For a moment I felt bad for perhaps presenting a conquering asshole gait so I relinquished my bad mood for the moment and asked if there was anything good around the bend in terms of a painting scene. They sort of laughed and started to lament and complain about all of the people that were out and about.

    And so I laughed too, both at their humor and the sheer irony of it all. The people they were obviously referring to were the Spanish speaking Mexicans who were obnoxiously blaring their music (don’t they respect the quietude of Nature?[and yes, I have run across many a white man firing up the snow mobile in other settings of nature]) and who have basically taken over the inner city nature preserve on the weekends. No longer can one have a quiet meditative moment close to the stream without hearing the sound of unattended Mexican children screeching and hollering to the backdrop of distant Tejano music blaring.They then told me the weekday mornings were the best time to enjoy the place quietly and peacefully and I concurred.

    Before we parted ways, I asked where they were from because they had an accent and they said Africa. All in all, very nice and lacking that distinctive chip on the shoulder that so many African- Americans wear as a result of living in, well, America. The only thing that raised a question in my mind as to their character was their teeth which looked meth head bad. But I suppose had better get used to that going forward and into the approaching days of the collapse.

    It’s overpopulation. I’ve been to the Middle East, a lot.. Countries like Jordan survive on subsidies from rich Gulf states and everywhere there are small children and young adults. The West is moribund, and in fact failing to manage it’s own social problems, mostly because of a culture of indulgence and the faith in an endless cornucopia of everything which is supposed to increase exponentially. Most people seem to be zomboid fun-seekers with no cares for tomorrow. They are breeding like rabbits too.

    For what I believe is a fair comparison read deeply the history of the Roman Empire in the fourth and fifth centuries. The parallels are astonishing. And the Roman Empire, which was taken totally for granted as a timeless entity, went down completely in a hundred years, certainly in Western Europe. Under the weight of economic migrants. The Roman rich were wealthier than ever and indulged in petty politicking while the state failed. They lost everything.

    “Yes, September is definitely going to be hot.” –Finca

    Finca, it is much worse than you can imagine. The world is definitely coming to an end. Here is proof: The Chinese national bureau of statistics said on Monday that it had revised China’s growth rate for 2014 to 7.3% from the previously released figure of 7.4%

    The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

    Meanwhile, back in the real world, China’s power usage, rail freight, as well as real estate prices and turnover have all improved into August, indicating the economy is stabilizing. China’s total power consumption in August rose 2.47% on the year – the fastest growth so far this year and steady growth was likely to continue in September.

    The “crash” of China’s economy, touted by experts like Therian, has been much exaggerated.

    Will they refuse to recognize the organization, which is based in New York or offer to move it to another location due to the US refusal to fulfill its obligations of the Host Nation of the United Nations (visa Matvienko and lowering the status of Xi Jinping’s visit), the UN immediately from the organization that provided the post war peace, will be transformed into the appendix of the State Department.

    When I say the post-war world, I mean the world after the defeat of Nazi Germany and Japan, and the West has been trying to replace this world with the world after the Cold War, forgetting that its victory in the Cold War is the self-proclaimed and no one signed any act of surrender.

    President Roosevelt at Yalta proposed to place the United Nations in New York, and the refusal to recognize the Yalta world itself means failure of the United States to comply with its obligations as a UN hosting country.

        The kindness that Mehmed had shown to the Emperor’s surviving ministers was of short duration…. Five days after the fall of the City [3 June] he gave a banquet. In the course of it, when he was well flushed with wine, someone whispered to him that Loukas Notaras’s fourteen-year-old son was a boy of exceptional beauty. The Sultan at once sent a eunuch to the house of the [Megas Doux] to demand that the boy be sent to him for his pleasure. Notaras, whose elder sons had been killed fighting, refused to sacrifice the boy to such a fate. Police were then sent to bring Notaras with his son and his young son-in-law, the son of the Grand Domestic Andronicus Cantacuzenus, into the Sultan’s presence. When Notaras still defied the Sultan, orders were given for him and the two boys to be decapitated on the spot. Notaras merely asked that they should be slain before him, lest the sight of his death should make them waver. When they had both perished he bared his neck to the executioner. The following day nine other Greek notables were arrested and sent to the scaffold.

    “Why are Americans so desperate? Is dollar going to croak soon? Is that it?” –Finca

    Finca, the dollar is strong and that is a good thing for a lot of reasons. What central bank wants to hold a currency that is quickly dwindling in value? The fact that the dollar is strong makes it worth holding. That is actually more important than many people realize. Since the end of World War II, the greenback has been the bedrock of the world financial system. This allows the U.S. government to borrow at lower interest rates than it would otherwise be able to, because the dollar and dollar-denominated Treasury securities are a big portion of holdings by foreign countries.

    few weeks ago ISIS declared it intention to ‘burn down Rome’. Now they might have the manpower in place to do just that. In Sweden the rape of young blond Swedish girls by black African immigrants is something that just isn’t discussed in polite company, as a matter of fact it might be illegal to discuss it. Who’s going to protect young German girls? The German men i see handing out soft drinks and sandwiches to young buck Arab refugees with t shirts that read “fear for your Wife”? Already German women are being warned not to dress too provocatively lest they tempt young Arabs and Africans. These locusts will devour these European countries like Biblical Wheat, wait and see.

    What they need, these locusts, is a slogan, a really catchy slogan that can be repeated on all the networks. In ‘Camp of Saints’, it was “The thousand tears have ended, we’re all from the Ganges now!”, as they swarmed over France. “Give us your daughters, you Christian dogs, we’re all from Damascus now!” how’s that.

    “Islam is a sick, violent, perverted cult by any standard” –nsa

    Do you have any Muslim friends? Are you speaking of all Islam, all 1.6 Billion Muslims? Do you even know enough to distinguish between Shafi, Hanbali, Hanafi, Twelvers, Qurantists, and Sufis?

    Your generalization about Islam is shallow and ignorant. You say “by any standard”…. what is YOUR standard? What were Christian women doing to further civilization in the Middle Ages when Islamic women were founding universities?

    “Two Muslim women, Fatima and Miriam al-Firhi, created the world’s first university, Al-Qarawiyyin in Fez, Morocco, in 859 AD. For several years, students were schooled here in a plethora of secular and religious subjects. At the end of their education, teachers evaluated students and awarded degrees based on satisfactory performances. The concept of awarding degrees would spread from Fez to Andalucía, Spain, and later to the Universities of Bologna in Italy and Oxford in England, among other places of learning.

    Spanish Muslims of Andalucía were especially strong advocates of education and helped to dispel the gloom that had enveloped Europe during the Dark Ages. Between the 8th and 15th centuries, Andalucía was perhaps the world’s epicenter for education and knowledge. Spanish universities such as those in Cordoba, Granada, and Seville, had Christian and Jewish students who learned science from Muslims. Women were also encouraged to study in Muslim Spain. This educational environment that stressed tolerance would not reach the “Western world” until the 19th and 20th centuries.”

Of course, being twisted, they do it in a hidden or highly symbol way so it can only be recognized by the very few. WPA has just done this.

    • Bird Dog September 8, 2015 at 4:17 am #

      Well, all well and good, ‘universities, the arts, science, female students’ etc, but that is just another kind of selective history, or amnesia if you will. The ‘truth about Islam you didn’t know’ is not that, merely another fairy tale.

      What became of that wonderful culture? It collapsed, after a couple of centuries at most, the peak was very brief.

      And into what?

      Islamic primitivism and fundamentalism, with no universities, arts or sciences (although the Moroccans did hang on to the ability to make rather nice, ir somewhat repetitive, mosaics, and didn’t forget how to play their lutes and bang drums in an engaging manner, if you are listening while high on opium).

      Medicine was reduced to cauterising with hot pokers and spells written on charms…..

      As Ibn Khaldun wrote in his review of world history in the 14th century: ‘All they can do now in those regions is recite the Koran and the hadith: sciences and philosophy are dead.’

      The cause of much of this? Waves of ever more fanatical Muslims from North Africa, and the triumph of the mullahs who preferred a dumb, but pious, populace. Same as today: see Iran.

      And, by the way, while they were having such a refined time in Cordoba and Seville, their armies were hunting slaves in Christian France and the Pyrenees, looting and laying waste, and they very much liked to bring heads back to decorate the walls of the said cities (Xmas decorations being unknown). They called it ‘punishing the barbarians.’ For what? Not wanting, understanably, to be slaves in the Islamic Wonderland.

      Look up the history of the appalling treatment of white Christian (and pagan)slaves in North Africa, until the 19th century, and take a good hard look at he realities of Islamic ‘civilisation’ everywhere it is to be found. The ‘sins’ of the West do not change this one bit.

      Moroever, there was anything noble about Andalusia, or the rest of the Caliphate, it more properly reflected the Iranian element in the Islamic Empire (they liked the Persians and even Jews to run things for them, do the architecture, music, maths and medicine, even design their clothes, being far too busy fighting, or, preferably, whoring and eating and murdering one another in true Arab style.)

      Europe is committing suicide letting these people in without regulation and assimilation. Our host is spot on.

    Dmitriy Sedov: Is Angela Merkel under hypnosis?

    No matter how the modern “Great Migration” is being interpreted in the press, there is growing number of judgments that Anglo-Saxons not only gave birth to this wave, but also control its intensity in their own interests, bearing in mind first to “over-crowd” Germany.

    To drive Germany into crisis, weaken it and deprive from the leading position in Europe – is not that the problem should be solved by constantly arriving refugees? After all, the potential of a sovereign policy in Germany is tremendous and with the advent of the new chancellor could be realized. The Anglo-Saxons did not forget that Gerhard Schroeder protested against the war in Iraq. And they understand that Angela Merkel may be on her last term. They desire weak Germany during the change of leader.

    There were interesting studies showing the nature of the use of network resources, creating among refugees an impression of Germany as a country of paradise, in which they are being welcomed.
    The blogosphere is full of laudatory comments about the reception of refugees in Germany. According to the “hospitality” it gets first place (76.8%), followed by Austria – 12.4%, and followed by UK with 4.6%. However, if you look at who creates such a picture, it becomes clear that the laudatory responses coming from Germany … only in 5.4% of cases. A majority of responses are coming from true friends of Germany – 11.6% from the US and 10.2% from Britain.

    Berlin does not want to talk about the close relationship of cause and effect of the crisis and the fact that they are forced to pay on other people’s accounts. Not the Germans started the war in Afghanistan; they did not invade Iraq, nor did they armed Syrian opposition. However, they are silenced that those responsible should pay!

    Germans are put in a position of scapegoats because of the helpfulness of Angela Merkel, who, as if hypnotized, hands over the interests of her own country. It will only get worse. Or the behavior of Merkel is the secret that the world should never know?

  58. FincaInTheMountains September 8, 2015 at 6:48 am #

    We have a situation in which with high probability ISIS and other opposition groups in Syria expect some serious trouble in the near future. And increased Russian activity in this area, as well as rumors of a direct involvement of Russian advisers in the destruction of ISIS militants, is in favor of this version.

    Add to this the recent successes of pro-government forces in Iraq against ISIS and we get quite a plausible picture. Namely, we are dealing with an organized exodus of Caliphate fighting forces from Syria and Iraq to Europe in the face of imminent defeat. This explains, among other things, the fact that the last strong wave of refugees into Europe is dominated by men of “military age”.

    I had discussions some years ago with a Peak Oil friend about the likelihood that US population would grow as much as the experts predicted given the decline in the birth rate and parents waiting until they were older to have kids. My argument was that immigration would make up the difference so the US population would grow. But I find it rather frightening the prejudices and short-sighted thinking arising from the deliberate destruction of people’s livelihoods by globalism and neoliberalism capitalism and endless Wars run amuck.
    We are all human beings sharing this planet together but the US in particular has been consuming 25% of the world’s resources for 6% of the world’s population for decades. Consuming is putting it gently when wasting is a better term for wasting $1 Trillion per year on endless Wars like those in the Middle East or arms giveaways to dictators like the military in Egypt. Of course along with the huge waste of US auto addiction, leaf blowers, the flotillas of “landscaping” trucks pulling trailers full of riding lawn mowers for immigrants to cut pretty but useless suburban lawns. Which has replaced the local teen-ager walking around with a lawn mower.
    As Kunstler does point out, the US and NATO have a direct hand in destroying Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Syria etc by supporting either overt or covert wars. How has this expenditure of trillions for endless Wars benefited anyone but the Boeings, Lockheeds and the merchants of death peddling their weapons of destruction to all sides with our tax dollars? Imagine if instead of giving the Egyptian military $3 Billion a year in weapons for years since the Camp David Accords, the US had provided solar arrays in the desert, desalinization, Green Transit instead of the Auto addicted beltway built around Cairo?
    Closer to home, we have to remember it was NAFTA which allowed subsidized Midwest American Corporate industrial agriculture based on oil to swamp Mexico’s peasants and small farmers with cheap subsidized industrial food. Thus forcing them off the land and into the maquiladoras for a few years until those were moved to cheaper production in China. So now what do poor peasants do but come to the rich giant neighbor to the North in any way that they can. The irony of course is that in the name of “free market capitalism” Agribusiness, like the Military Industrial complex, gets hundreds of billions from our tax dollars for destroying smaller more sustainable agriculture in Mexico. The whole world is tied together and we can either help people to survive better where they live or continue the neoliberal plutocratic project of one world for the billionaires while we all go down the tubes.

    The Earth as a sustainable ecosystem cannot support the humanity everywhere, or at least not at the QOL levels that we in the west have become accustomed to. Some (yet another) imbecile above posted about the Earth’s ability to sustain even more people if only we lose sentimentality when it comes to borders, states, cultures, and histories… you know, all the things that make the miserable human condition barely worth bearing. If only people would live in canvas tent cities and eat soylent green… well, we’d all be alive but not living. We live on a planet where life feeds life, where death feeds life. There is no way around it. Pretend otherwise all you like, but the harsh medicine is the reality of existence on this rock that people prefer to disbelieve; it’s dog eat dog. We ignore the reality that human populations in certain regions of the world need the die-off that nature has been trying to lend us. But no. We send money, and food relief, and donate to charities and proselytizing missions, and vaccine funds, and ebola nurses, and famine and natural disaster relief, we give money to unsustainable and irresponsible and broken family planning, we reward poor choices, we sustain the unsustainable. And, when populations in a region or state reach a balance where they can take of those within that need help; the infirm, the invalid, well the global financial system says they need growth and more people to buy stuff and they should take in those from places that have runaway population problems. Nature wants balance, and greedy people want more ($, stuff, etc.) There was a study published last week how apex predators like the lion keep their population in check so as not to disrupt the delicate balance of the very system that keeps them alive… we should be learning from them rather than shooting them, but that presupposes a belief that humans are worth granting endless second chances… so many upright apes and so few lions…

      Long ago it bothered me that “apex predators” (our sociopathic power elite) seemed to have nothing regulating their numbers in check. It really didn’t make sense: after all, why hadn’t the rest of us been edited from the gene-pool? Then it occurred to me that THEY were the ones keeping their numbers in check. Generally speaking – when given enough rope – they will hang themselves.

      Regarding the “upright apes”: Black Swan Events have their numbers *well* in hand. Mr. Taleb had it exactly right – their mental myopia is hard-wired.

    “jim, has the notion of net zero immigration from mexico for the past seven or eight years been completely lost on you?” – forkboy –

    So, you’re saying that government statistics indicate this? So?

    Stick in a fork, boy – your logic is overcooked and burned since illegal immigration from Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Honduras continues at very high rates, across the Mexican border.

    And the US population continues to grow at 3,000,000 souls per year – due mostly to LEGAL immigrants and the children of LEGAL immigrants. This won’t go on forever. It has probably gone on for too long, already.

    And I’ve never seen JHK express “hate” toward immigrants. That’s a ridiculous and divisive thing to state about the host of this website.

    Everybody is painting Viktor Orban of Hungary as a racist villain, almost a new Hitler, but I see his logic in establishing barriers to the migrants from the middle east and Africa. Like it or not, Europe cannot absorb all the present day displaced people. Especially the eastern part of Europe which has not enjoyed the prosperity of the western part. Today Turkey has 1.9 million migrants itself, Jordan and Lebanon have hundreds of thousands more. And, day by day, as the safety and economies of much of Africa devolve its only going to get worse.

    The E.U. should actually be doing all it can right now to support Orban and to shore up the defenses, not lowering the drawbridge. Because its hard to raise the drawbridge when its fully occupied by a mob.

    And, just where are the “super Muslim” countries of Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. in all this? Well, they are accepting none, the charitable exhortations of the Koran notwithstanding.

    • MisterDarling September 8, 2015 at 1:52 pm #

      @ DennyO & Co.,

      Fully agree with the above. Orban is doing precisely what any non-puppet has to do in the face of a clear and present danger to the nation-state they represent. He’s just being responsible.

      And thanks for pointing out the stark contrast between the EU’s response and Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, etc.

    In addition, beginning in August, Turkish media reported an increase in Russian vessels off the coast of Syria. At the moment, Turkish sources say that Russian troops are fighting on the side of the Syria.

    “There goes Europe”?

    No, look at the recent history of Germany. How did Germany become the strongest economy in Europe? By accepting refugees and incorporating illegal immigrants, that is how.

    From 1986 to 1989, about 380,000 refugees sought asylum, mostly from Iran and Lebanon. Between 1990 and 1992 nearly 900,000 people from former Yugoslavia, Romania, or Turkey sought asylum in a united Germany. In 1992, 438,000 applied, and Germany admitted almost 70 percent of all asylum seekers registered in the European Community. As of 2014, about 16.3 million people with an immigrant background were living in Germany, accounting for every fifth person. Of those 16.3 million, 8.2 million had no German citizenship.

    Refugees and illegal immigrants have made Germany strong, the strongest in Europe. Countries that “beef up the borders” against illegal immigration and do not accept refugees are not as strong as Germany.

    When it comes to illegal immigrants and refugees, welcoming is a smarter strategy than scapegoating and deporting.

        Same thing was said in 1900, in 1920, in 1950, in 1980… there are always scare-mongerers who think the newest wave of immigrants will destroy the very fabric of the nation. It doesn’t work that way, as the 19th and 20th century experience of immigration has demonstrated. Germany got stronger… and will become even stronger.

        When you have limited national resources, it is more intelligent to have an “open door” policy instead of wasting resources on a “high fences” policy which only drains the national budget and contributes nothing to the well-being of the country’s residents.

    Rush: The Oil States are richer, less populated, closer, and MUSLIM – yet they are taking none of the refugees. The so called refugees are leaving from places like Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon – also Muslim and also at peace. The conclusion? They are not refugees but invaders. That most of them are young men just confirms this. They are hell bent on getting to rich Northern Europe, specifically Germany or Sweden. They are either aiming at a life of luxury or something more sinister.

    The Solution? Deny them entry. If necessary, shoot them (my idea).

    I agree with the general view of things that JHK airs in this blog. There are a few areas I disagree of course and some I so strongly support that I give a fist pump when I read a post.
    With this post I agree in the most part though I do think tone counts when discussing the lives and loss of life of real people.
    What prompted me to make this comment is the comment section posts. Most of you ought to be ashamed of yourselves for posting such hateful things.
    I would bet almost none of you have ever be forced from your homes due to wars or terror and to speak of these people as yesterday’s trash with no thought to the day you may be in that position is flatout disgusting.
    Yes I think they should NOT be admitted to the U.S. or Europe in large measure but that is not because I loathe them as you all seem to.
    I think we should give them food and medicine and other supplies to last them several weeks, and a safe transport back to their countries of origin and keep doing that until they stop coming.
    Perhaps then they will rally to try to organize to take back their nations and regions from the American overloads and their toadies, as well as the terrorists running wild there.
    I think right now the Islamic religion is a dangerous and devisive one for western culture and we have enough problems of our own with wacko Christianity and their nonsense. We also have enough problems economically. That does not mean you get to portray these desperate people as not worth living.
    And to counter a theme in comments. You are wrong. Hispanics DO assimilate and learn the English language. Just like the many who came here far earlier in our history. It takes a full generation to do so just like it always did. Living in Phoenix I see this everyday with the older and middle aged never quite picking up fluency but their children are like sponges going back and forth between languages with a speed I am in awe of. Just like the German immigrant children, and the Italian and so on down the line.
    You should all crawl back in your xenophobic hate filled holes if all you want to do is demonize everyone but yourselves.

    Nice sentiments, but all wrong. You should prove your statements by driving through one of the barrios in San Bernadino. If you are an Anglo female, you will come out freshly raped and dead. I dare you. I lived out there forty years ago, and it wasn’t safe to go there even then, and I sincerely doubt that things have changed for the better since then. The problem is that people like you haven’t actually been involved in these situations, and your thinking is based on the way you think the world should be, not what the reality is. It’s nice to sit in your ivory tower and make pronouncements about what should be, and take the easy way out. It’s great to be the nice guy and predict how wonderful things would be if we were just more accommodating. I didn’t start out as a cynic, however the reality of the world dictates the truth, and it’s not pleasant. I could say a lot more, but this is enough of a rant.

    In all likelihood more Mexican and Central Americans have left the US than have entered since 08. At any rate all the obsession about illegal entrants into the US is mostly about fodder for politicians and their fans in the form of entertainment we call politics.

    The US ace in the hole in this whole thing is those oceans separating us from the rest of the world. The same oceans that have made the trillions upon trillions spent in ‘defending’ America superfluous but that’s another issue.

    We can debate if US policy has as a goal chaos in the ROW but intent or not it is what is going to keep America #1 on a relative basis for a long time. In that vein it is going to be the go to place for the money or bank deposits or other assets for the worlds 1%. Which means the very last place where financial dislocation is going to occur. While politicians and their fans panic about the undesirables coming here there is not the slightest worry much less attempt to hide the fact that if you’ve got assets in the 9+ figures your welcome and safe here and being white, Christian or even a monster has zero to do with it.

    Why is it that our leadership, and the leadership of Europe, can’t articulate a plan for the crises that seem to burst on the scene almost weekly now? We used to talk about these things but now all we do is argue our points without any hint of compromise.

    We cannot, if we aspire to be a moral people, let human suffering occur without at least attempting to find a solution. Even if it is just to house, feed and clothe these people until the situation in their home settles down. And there are solutions to consider. None of them perfect by any means, but we can ease the hurt and suffering of others. The problem seems to be that to do so means we might have to do without. I thought that is what it means to be a part of the human family and to Christian. Other than Pope Francis I where are the voices of compassion?

    We have become a mad, power hungry generation of sociopaths and we have forgotten what it is like to be homeless and in despair.

      “I thought that is what it means to be a part of the human family and to Christian. Other than Pope Francis I….” – du –

      One thing that has been legislated and litigated EMPHATICALLY OUT of Western European and US public policies is almost any possible hint of Christian expression, thought, or feeling. It’s done for. Reference Davis, Kim; among thousands of other like cases. To attempt to invoke Christianity to impact public policy on refugees and immigration – now – is hypocritical, at best.

      “we have forgotten what it is like to be homeless and in despair.”

      We have also forgotten what is like to live close to people who hate us implacably and whose children’s children may wish to kill us no matter how “nice” we are to them.

    ” as the 19th and 20th century experience of immigration has demonstrated. Germany got stronger… and will become even stronger.” – wpa –

    One of the negative impacts of immigration to “strong” countries like Germany and the US – is that the home countries of the immigrants become weaker due to loss of human capital. Immigration is often, therefore, a pernicious sort of “rich get richer” scheme.

    Also, the idea that countries should aspire to become “stronger” is based on the lie that infinite growth always good – on a finite planet.

    These negative aspects of immigration are not often mentioned. Thanks for helping to point them out, soak.

    Mr. Darling – A few weeks ago you pointed out that you’d been in combat with women that were the equal of any man – or words to that effect. At the time I wanted to pick your brain and explore the idea that women being regularly used for dangerous military duty is one of those “peak prosperity” things that won’t last long if/when modern US society weakens. But I never wrote to you on the topic.

    Now, though, you seem to be saying that because Wpasock might be female – that this would explain in a negative manner – some of the defects in “her” reasoning, or something. And I’m not picking an argument, just asking you to clarify your logic for us.

    —————–

    FWIW – WPA, ne asoka/pkrugman et al, is most probably male, in my opinion. Something about the aggressive OCD nature of his style of argumentation just doesn’t seem like it would belong to someone with two naturally occurring X chromosomes, ovaries, and a uterus.

    Also – Cold N. Holfield outed the person responsible for WPA and the asoka/krugman monikers, about one year+ ago. I followed a link and found a picture of a chubby male 30-something-year old; holding a cat, as I recall.

    A cornucopian is a futurist who believes that continued progress and provision of material items for mankind can be met by similarly continued advances in technology. Fundamentally they believe that there is enough matter and energy on the Earth to provide for the ever-rising population of the world.

    For example, all the energy stored in Earth’s reserves of coal, oil, and natural gas is matched by the energy from just 20 days of sunshine.

      A cornholeian is a deviant who believes that continued progress and provision of a material item (cock up the butt) can be met with advances in technology (lube). Fundamentally they believe that enough cock up the butt with energy (viagra) will prevent the ever-rising population of the world.

    Letter just sent to the Editor of the NY Times:

    The caption beneath today’s front page picture contains this sentence: “The White House is considering **sheltering** more Syrians in the United States.” (emphasis mine) I am recommending to dictionary publishers that this sentence be inserted as a perfect example in the definition of the word ‘euphemism.’ **Shelter**, my foot! Any fool knows that once here these Syrians will never leave. They are being fast-tracked into permanent and legal citizenship.

    When the US forces barged into the Middle East they stepped into places farmed and civilized longer than anywhere else on earth. Millennia deep layers of custom and habit.

    That’s to say that maybe the US and its throng of suits and uniforms and contractors aren’t the only things or the most important. As Mr K says that’s not the whole story.

    I think Mr. K is right. What ails the Middle East is multi-faceted, some oil induced.

    They say that the post WW1 dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire and the drawing of national boundary lines in the sand are root causes of today’s troubles.

    Or maybe the very existence of that same Ottoman Empire is the deeper cause. Maybe the current rampages would have happened sooner or later as an unavoidable consequence of the Empire’s demise.

    Or maybe the whole Ottoman mess is rendered irrelevant by current demographic and economic forces. Maybe the pure facts of life, like needing to work and eat and stay alive, are what’s at play here.

    To an extent, it’s academic. IMO what we saw 1,500 years ago with the influx of Germanic refugees into the western Roman Empire, we’re seeing again. The Huns were on the move. The Goths were on the run from the Huns.

    The many headed throng from the Middle-East and Africa are on the run from lunatics with guns.

    The Huns and Goths in their various tribal affiliations up-ended Roman rule. The Arabs and Africans may yet do the same to Rome’s modern incarnation.

    Some truly magical moments in this video IMO, especially the “Dark Star” intro. One can also see a bit of the legendary Neal Cassady driving the “Furthur” bus along with Ken Kesey looking to be waving hi in NYC from the bus.

    I also love reading some of the commentary on You Tube musical clips. This one for instance:

    ” Our problem is Aristotle now knows if he was correct, but we share being on this side of when “the secrets all are told, and the pedals all unfold”… and there’s a darkness through which we cannot see. That was girly guy’s problem when he was dying on that cross, while “the solemn Sun looked down on him… his mother stood but frowned on him… while all the others sound on him… but it doesn’t seem to matter…. But as the day was endin’ – with storm clouds dark and blendin’.. his mind remained unbendin….” So, my bellied is that we can end the song “And as this day is endin’… with rainbow colors blendin’ His mind remains unbendin’… :)”

    We returned this past Sunday from an enjoyable and enlightening cruise vacation to the southeastern waters and ports of “the last frontier” aka, Alaska. The ship was the Grand Princess — a humongous craft with a passenger capacity of more than 3000 and a crew/staff above 1000. It was 80% occupied.

    We passengers by my judgment were all members of the upper one third of the economic strata of the so-called 99%. Age-wise I doubt there were more than a dozen children age 10 or under onboard and not even all that many young adults (under 40 years old). The people we met and conversed with were therefore an older and wiser crowd who were born and lived during an historical sweet spot in time beginning in the 1940s and ’50s… living beneficiaries of pensions and social security. As to their nationality, second after Americans were Chinese and there were a surprising number of Aussies.

    One such couple (Dave and Nancy) from Sacramento, CA sat across from us in a lounge area. Dave took the title of the book I was reading – Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy – as an opportunity for intro to conversation. Nancy who looked fortyish it was obvious on first sight had had as much work done on her as Joan Rivers including a set of perfectly white “veneers” and a great set of hooters. She had an eight year old grandchild.

    They told us some funny anecdotes about a visit to St. Petersburg and the nature of the people of Russia they encountered. Then our chat turned to the Princess crew who, in what appeared to be a genuinely friendly manner, saw to our every need.

    Each crew member wore a shiny brasslike medallion (like a sheriff’s badge) on which was their first name, their position title (e.g. Waiter), and their country of origin. Of the latter descriptor the most common was Philippines. Beyond them personnel ran the gamut of virtually every country in the world except Muslim countries and America (because of labor laws, we surmise). Although there were Brits, Poles, Serbs, Rumanians, white South Africans, white Brazilians etc, the composite color of staff was a shade of brown. There were lots of Indians. I saw two jet-black waiters who were Jamaican.

    Dave, as it turned out, was an accomplished pianist/ composer/ arranger (see http://www.DaveBassMusic.com) who in his earlier years had been for a couple of seasons on the crew of a cruise ship as a pianist in the open lobby-like area amid-ship. Concerning the crew, he reminded us that there were several decks that extended below the waterline peopled by those who were browner, less handsome and less proficient in English. These never-seen hoi polloi did the grunt-work of a cruise liner: laundry, food prep work, etc. and rarely if ever got to see the natural beauty in the areas they traveled. Their earnings, such as they were, went home to support families that they got to see only once or twice a year.

    Back on land (Anchorage) I learned from a grizzled old maker and vendor of gun holsters that there are no gun laws in Alaska. No-license “open carry” is very common and yet there is little crime and near zero shootings. He, himself, was toting two pistols including a HUGE 45 revolver (Colt, I think) with 5 bullet chambers.

    @ Progress4What & Co.:

    Hello! It’s perfectly fine for you to ask for clarifications, elaborations, etc. I expected that someone might prompt me for a full explanation. Fortunately that someone was a CFN-er in good standing. [*]

    Regarding the following:

    “Mr. Darling – A few weeks ago you pointed out that you’d been in combat with women that were the equal of any man – or words to that effect. At the time I wanted to pick your brain and explore the idea that women being regularly used for dangerous military duty is one of those “peak prosperity” things that won’t last long if/when modern US society weakens. But I never wrote to you on the topic…
    Now, though, you seem to be saying that because Wpasock might be female – that this would explain in a negative manner – some of the defects in “her” reasoning, or something. And I’m not picking an argument, just asking you to clarify your logic for us…
    FWIW – WPA, ne asoka/pkrugman et al, is most probably male, in my opinion. Something about the aggressive OCD nature of his style of argumentation just doesn’t seem like it would belong to someone with two naturally occurring X chromosomes, ovaries, and a uterus.”-prog.

    Just to be very clear, I did not nor would I state “women that were the equal of any man” because that would invite the usual roster of reactionary idiots to leap-frog all sense & reason to accuse me of saying that women were *more* than equal to any man. What I said was that I knew of at least one woman who was equal to the better male soldiers around her, to the extent that it was clearly apparent even to them.

    Based on that first-hand observation I stated that I knew that women *can* be reliable co-combatants. . . Speaking from a few decades of experience, I consider that to be worth a lot.

    Why? Most of humanity (and therefore most men) are chickensh*t. Where violence is concerned they mean 1/2 of what they say and deliver less than 1/4 of that. The average person needs a lot of provoking to actually *do* something about it, and combatants will generally __not__ kill just because they are trained to and know that they’re ‘supposed to’. That is why the better militaries of the world rely on Operant Conditioning. [**]

    re | “At the time I wanted to pick your brain and explore the idea that women being regularly used for dangerous military duty is one of those “peak prosperity” things that won’t last long if/when modern US society weakens.”-prog.

    When the ‘fit’ actually ‘hits the shan’ we’ll probably see more female combatants not less. I agree with a number of well-known authors that women were ‘conscripted’ into the workplace en-masse in the late-70’s to shore up sagging income in the erstwhile middle-class – regardless of how it was rationalized at the time.

    It follows that opening up ‘career opportunities’ in the military had the same (economic) causal factors. In that sense women in the military are a “peak prosperity” phenomenon. But then again so is the whole idea that a military can be treated like just any career option. Societies living closer to the bone *never* see their military organizations that way. They are viewed as fighting organizations *first* and career-paths a far distant second.

    As the collapse accelerates and the military has to focus on actually winning non-optional wars for the sake of survival – instead of starting and prolonging them for the sake of profit – we’ll be seeing *more* women in combat, not less. Think of Soviet Russia during the Nazi onslaught. Women were in every part of their battlefield. That’s what happens when the stakes really are national life-or-death. Adherence to the wishful thinking of irrational civilians and their sentimental __bullshit__ goes out the window and true military expediency takes over. It has to.

    Bear in mind this is a better-case scenario. Soviet Russia actually held together as a cohesive nation-state under the internal aggression of a psychotic despot while defending itself against a better-trained and equipped psychotic enemy. It’s not clear to me that the US and EU could do something similar.

    re |”Now, though, you seem to be saying that because Wpasock might be female – that this would explain in a negative manner – some of the defects in “her” reasoning, or something. And I’m not picking an argument, just asking you to clarify your logic for us…”-prog.

    To be clear: I wouldn’t assume that the sex of the person referred to would affect their ability to reason – you may recall that I frequently cite female authors and public figures to reinforce my own reasoning. I do however find it more likely that a mentally-ill cat-lady would lavish praise upon the current POTUS more frequently than a similarly disabled male. That’s what my comment indicated. Nothing more.

    I hope this clarifies things?

    Cheers!

        BRH,

        I heard about the controversy and Mr. Hackworth’s testimony. It’s irritating to think that someone of professional stature would waste their time and ours by embellishing and distorting data.

        The salient thing is that what he wrote jibed with the preponderance of evidence from our time back into antiquity. Consider the musket recovered from Gettysburg with 9 musket-balls rammed into it for example. . . It also agreed with what my grandfather, father and I have witnessed at first hand.

        We know for a fact that the incidence of soldiers fully utilizing their weapons rose to 50% during the Korean War and 90% by Vietnam (with the advent of pop-up target ranges). Perhaps we shouldn’t be too hasty about throwing the ‘baby’ of his point out with the ‘bathwater’ of allegations against him?

        Just a thought.

        Cheers!

      Mr. D

      Well said. I expect you’ve read Col. Grossman’s book “On Killing”?

      Currently, Operant Conditioning involves video “games”. I understand the concept and method evolved from early commercial offerings. Can’t help but think that the dehumanizing effect of these games is mirrored in some of the mass shootings we are now experiencing.

      People seem to be into criticizing military budgets and waste…top heavy officer class, Military/Industrial complex, multi-billion dollar weapons systems. I grew up as a military brat on and around air force bases, and my respect for the services remains strong. I would caution that we have given many countries in the world real reason to resent or hate us…and the bad memories are generational in the making, and will be long remembered. I would opine that our military budget, even with incredible waste and corruption, as long as it provides hegemony, will, in retrospect, be seen as a bargain.

      • MisterDarling September 10, 2015 at 12:53 am #

        @ Elysian:

        “Well said. I expect you’ve read Col. Grossman’s book “On Killing”?”-e.

        Yes I have. ‘Colonel Dave’s’ book gets the mechanics right, even if he was a virgin to the experience (by his own admission) at the time of first publication.

        My concerns about the cost-effectiveness/bang-for-buck ratio of Western (particularly American) fighting organizations is in line with H. John Poole’s (ref. Tactics of the Crescent Moon, Last Hundred Yards, etc). Re-skilling and re-empowering soldiers would be the order of the day, absent the long arm (and leg) of the Pentagon’s supply-chain.

Dannyboy, Wpac, Dr. Tom, et al I have disagreed with… The reason that I do not offend the “Old Guard” is that…I usually agree with them (at least in substance). Even some of your most strident posts provide a “cud” on which to ruminate.

        I try to avoid ad hominem attacks…I do not de-humanize (even those not acting human)…and, pardon me for this, I have prepared and moved farther from the population centers than even our host…in effect, walking the walk.

    Actions of Russia and China are now preparations to some important joint demarche of the two in the UN General Assembly on 15-22 September.

    Ukraine has lost any chance to achieve at least some goals set up by Maidan coup sponsors, and is finally defeated militarily and diplomatically and economically. The final nail in the Ukraine coffin drove the accusations of P.M. Yatsenyuk in international terrorism, war crimes and crimes against humanity. With such Prime Minister Russia cannot enter into any agreements, both in terms of internal policy and in terms of policy international – well, what actually would have Americans thought seeing on TV pictures of Lavrov negotiating with a man who tortured and killed Russian soldiers on Russian territory.

    Latakia rapidly is turning into Donbass 2.0 and statements that Russian troops are not in Syria word for word reproduce similar statements about lack of Russian troops in Ukraine. The problem is compounded by the fact that Syria and Russia has no common border and that air space of East European dwarfs would be closed was clear even at the level of operational planning. And the fact that Iran has opened its air space for Russian planes flying to Latakia, does not change the situation too much, since Iran too does not have common border with Syria and the planes would have to fly over Iraq, and through areas controlled by ISIS.

    Nevertheless, it is done. So they figure a way out from this situation.

    I see only one event that could untangle this situation – the disintegration of Turkey and establishment of independent Kurdistan.

    Financiers brought the US and the whole world along with it to a brink of such disaster, from which it is almost impossible to find a solution.

    At the same time financiers are not used to be held accountable for their actions or pay on their debts – they only force others to pay.

    So they are for sure will try to arrange a global force majeure, which could cost dearly the United States and the planet as a whole.

    Some patriots of the United States, by putting forward outside-of-the-clans candidates for the presidency (Trump and Biden) trying to take control and avoid overly dramatic consequences.

    On the back cover of this book is the following descriptive blurb:

    “Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, Blood Meridian is an epic novel that traces the fortunes of the Kid, a fourteen-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into a nightmarish world in which the market for Indian scalps is thriving.”

    In a recruiting pitch on page 36 the captain of a band of mercenaries tells the Kid:

    “What we are dealing with … is a race of degenerates. A mongrel race, little better than niggers. And maybe no better. There is no government in Mexico. Hell, there’s no God in Mexico. Never will be. We are dealing with a people manifestly incapable of governing themselves. And do you know what happens with people who cannot govern themselves? That’s right. Others come in to govern for them.”

      You should have read Mein Kampf on the boat. Elevation of the spirit instead of violence porn. I enjoyed his book and movie “The Road”. Saw the movie “No Country for Old Men” but not the book. Superb.

      During Black Jack Pershing’s invasion of Mexico, some big wig said it was “To teach the Mexicans to elect good men.” Ah, those were the day – before we doubted ourselves. As William Blake said, “If the sun were to doubt, it would immediately go out.”

        Of course that lead to making many mistakes – which lead to doubting ourselves. Effect is Cause revealed after all. Somehow we have to get back to that innocent state while remaining wise. Somehow we must regain the virile virtues of barbarism but without the crudity. Now do you see the goal of Fascism? Of Sparta? The ideal of the Knight and the Samurai?

          Cancer and a myriad of human diseases gives lie to that premise. You might argue that the causal effects would be revealed, but not identified or understood…I could accept that.

    . “Personally, I reject the idea that it’s “racist” to want to preserve one’s national culture and character”

    Hmmmm. There is a degree of irony there. The US, is a nation of immigrants, with different cultures from different origins, whether it be of Irish, Scots or European decent. Then of course there is the native Indians who didn’t take to kindly to the influx of Europeans. The same can be said f most countries. I think John Michael Greer is right on this point. Countries boundaries, and population make up will change over the coming centuries whether you like it r not.

      Greer lamented that he wouldn’t live to see the Asian/Hispanic Culture developing on the West Coast. I questioned his loyalty and he took that part out. I then questioned his choice of spiritual path: the real Druids were Celtic Patriots. If he wanted a Universalist Occult path, why not the Golden Dawn or Ceremonial Magic in general? Why corrupt one of our Traditions?

      He banned me.

    I was riding in this truck with the millwright i’m working for, moving machinery from one part of the state (east) to another (southwest). I mentioned events in Europe, the mass migration from Arab lands, Central Asia and Africa. He looked at me like I was nuts, “What the hell are you talking about?” “Yeah, they’re moving in by the millions”. He was dumb founded. Meanwhile, as we drove down the road we passed motels on US 6 (same road that goes from Provincetown, Mass. to Ely, Nevada, then cuts down to LA, the Lincoln Highway. This is our one small portion of it). The motels had a story, almost every one, “I had a broad in there one night, name of Donna.” That’s how it went, 3 decades of one night stands we passed on the road.

    We’re moving and setting up an ‘O.D. Grinder’ a massive machine, weighs 10 tons and when set up about 30 ft long. This is the real business of millwrights, setting up machinery, not tearing it down and shipping it out, so it was a happy day. Its really quite a skill, having to get everything just right, this heavy but delicate machinery, within tolerances of 1000th of an inch. It would be ashamed for us to lose these skills.

    The guys on my night job, in the Pressroom, mostly black West Indians, were discussing Europe a little, too. The consensus, disaster looms. You’d be surprised how conservative, even reactionary, these black dudes from Jamaica and Trinidad can be, ‘specially ones with kids. They especially have a grudge against Mexicans, here to “take our jobs”.

        Finc,
        OD cylindrical grinders are used to grind, with great accuracy and finish, the outside diameter of cylindrical items…wheels, shafts, tapers, etc. Usually accurate to .00001″, while able to provide a mirror finish on the metal items, usually steel, they grind…I have two of them…used one, the larger Churchill, to grind rifle barrels to concentricity with the axis of the bore. A grinder is described by the size of the grinding wheel (12″ on up), and the size of an item that can be placed between centers and ground…12X36, for example…12″ wheel, capable of 36″ between centers.

        Oh, and as a sop to Janos…Goddamn Commies!

    Here’s a thought for anyone who wishes to think on it. Cultures/civilizations who survive have managed lands in their commons. This we know. (quote taken from a very intelligent and very young lady on the program Bioneers on Link TV. (one shirt collar under her sweater, one not, cute. Just that I noticed) (J has also mentioned the commons in the past.) France now has 60,000 acres of farmland commons, organic, worth 53 million Euros. Is this country bright enough?!

    Al Qaeda Mag Urges Attack on Koch Brothers, Buffett, Bloomberg

    A notorious al Qaeda magazine is encouraging lone-wolf terrorist attacks on U.S. economic leaders, including Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg and Warren Buffett.

    The article says the “economic personalities” and “wealthy entrepreneurs” can get off the list by withdrawing their money from U.S. banks, investing their wealth outside American soil, and denouncing support for Israel.

    http://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/al-qaeda-mag-urges-attack-koch-brothers-buffett-bloomberg-n424386

    “Al-Qaeda” is a product of US intelligence. And the fact that US put up a significant, but to no avail struggle with it for the past few decades does not change that.

    Of course, not all previous threats to “Al-Qaeda” were realized in practice. But the news may be not just an empty threat. The United States are on the verge of financial collapse and are frantically looking for ways to organize a force majeure, which will allow them to write off debts. Including something where all major national capital will suddenly disappear into nowhere, leaving ordinary Americans with no more than a donut hole.

  111. progress4what September 10, 2015 at 9:44 am #

    Mister D –
    Yeah, in extremis there are certainly women who can do combat as well as men. Our differences for this discussion would lie in how extreme those events become. And I saw “Enemy at the Gate,” as well. haha

    If you HAD to do an organized draft of civilians, I’d guess (round numbers, made up on the fly) that out of 1,000 men aged 18-30; that you would get 100 very effective soldiers and 10 amazing killing machines. Out of 1000 women aged 18-30 what would you get?
    10 effective soldiers, one killing machine?? I’m asking, here.

    My point is that post-peak-everything, US society would not have the resources to spend winnowing through both male and female populations – we’d have to stick with the male half.

    If populations self-select (all-volunteer military) then US society might afford the time and resources for the follow-on winnowing process. The volunteer military, IOW, may be another of those peak everything things.

    Did you happen to see the West Point pillow fight? It doesn’t get much more faux innocent than that,contriving a cathartic infantilism in order to revert back to “the virile virtues of barbarism”.

    You’re a lot like BRH: he has his war fantasy delusions and you your Wes Parker/Daniel Boone delusions. But there is no more untamed wilderness inviting Europeans to build log cabins and family farms. Or Indians to displace. Or upright Presbyterian ministers preaching in the wilderness. So now you project all of your hopeful barbarian bravado on to some perceived savior –you termed him “The Great Man”–like Donald Trump who at the end of the day is nothing more than a ‘Fortunate One’ who and never rolled up a sleeve in his entire life. But he does have a good Mad Dog Vachon sneer, I’ll give him that.

    As an aside, a while back ago a relative showed me some genealogy research they had done. The farthest she got back was 1778 and what is now Wheeling West Virginia. And , interestingly, not a slave owner among the bunch which was hauntingly indicated on the old census records.

    Did you know three deer leg.hooves sawed in section and laminated together can make a very elegant lamp, furniture leg base? A sort of a Scotch-Irish cabriole leg, if you will. I have more than a few of these around and just recently a female interior designer was lauding the look and asking me where I got them etc. I told her my great grandfather made them and if she liked these she would love the lynx with an eagle in his mouth taxidermy arrangement. She never got back to me on that one 🙂

    “…you can stop menstrual bleeding …” –P4W

    Not necessary. Women have more stamina and endurance than men. (Thank God men don’t have to carry and give birth to children.) In the 62-day Ranger training only 40 percent of the men who start the training make it to graduation. The women who recently graduated carried more weight because the men couldn’t handle it.

    “I was the 320 gunner [a grenade launcher], so I had a lot of weight on me, and I was struggling. And I stopped, and I asked at halfway point, ‘Hey, can anyone help take some of this weight?’ I got a lot of deer-in-the headlight looks, you know. A lot of people were like, ‘I can’t take anymore weight.’ Shaye [Haver] was the only one to volunteer to take that weight. She took the weight off me, and she carried it the last half of that road. Literally saved me. I probably wouldn’t be sitting here right now if it wasn’t for Shaye. So, from that point, no more skepticism,” Janowski said.

  118. volodya September 10, 2015 at 11:58 am #

    No disrespect intended because you hear things all the time and you tend to repeat them. I do it myself. And so, for example, you get the common and oft repeated, broad-brush, mis-characterization of the US as a country of immigrants. Ain’t so.

    Immigrants in the US are a minority. They don’t define the US. At any rate, not by themselves. They aren’t THAT influential.

    Being a descendant of immigrants doesn’t make you one. All those hundreds of millions, born and raised in the USA, wouldn’t call themselves immigrants either.

    A huge number of Americans have got centuries deep roots in the US. Not only that but America, as a place and society, has enough pull on people’s imagination of themselves as AMERICAN. “American” is an easy enough national identity to visualize.

    Which raises the issue of national culture. The founding country, from which America took shape, is, you guessed it, the UK. While the culture of the United States isn’t a carbon copy, it’s parentage is apparent enough, with for example, language, religion, customs and governing institutions, including the Presidency, based on those in Jolly Olde.

    The point being I don’t see at all the irony of talking about a “national culture” of the US. While American culture isn’t unique, given its long list of ancestral influences, primarily but not completely British and European, I can’t think of any culture that is.

    As an example, just think of the Bolshoi Ballet company. Russians are very proud of it and rightly so as they are a highly skilled bunch. And very Russki wouldn’t you say?

    But hang on, ballet as an art form didn’t originate in Russia but rather in Italy. You can look it up. A huge swathe of the English lingo has its origin in Latin. A huge swathe of western Europe has linguistic origins in Latin too.

    Doesn’t matter, each people takes influences and either discards them or adopts and adapts them to make them work locally. Or nationally. Americans included.

    Kunstler is right, it isn’t “racist” to want to preserve a national culture. For one thing, race and culture are two different things. For another, being on the same page on how to conduct ourselves and deal with one another isn’t a bad thing. Makes life go a lot smoother.

    Successful NASA Rocket Fuel Pump Tests Pave Way for 3-D Printed Demonstrator Engine

    Additive manufacturing, or 3-D printing, is a key technology for enhancing space vehicle designs and enabling affordable missions to Mars. The turbopump is a critical rocket engine component with a turbine that spins and generates more than 2,000 horsepower–twice the horsepower of a NASCAR engine.

    “Our team designed and tested the fuel pump and other parts, such as injectors and valves, for the additive manufactured demonstrator engine in just two years,” said Nick Case, a propulsion engineer and systems lead for the turbopump work. “If we used traditional manufacturing processes, it would have taken us double that time. Using a completely new manufacturing technique allowed NASA to design components for an additively manufactured demonstration engine in a whole new way.”

    Please, can we get back to an honest discussion about the earth’s limited carry capacity, coupled with acknowledging the preposterousness of believing that the burden of existing population could be accommodated if only history was reverse engineered such that all the perceived wrongs of the past could be corrected?

    NOW; Want to know why corporations choose importing H-1B immigrant engineers rather than funding education in America? Simple: Across Asia and the Middle East only the very wealthy are privileged with higher education, but even though that class is much less than 1% of total population it is many times greater than the entire population of the US. Subsequently, having available this essentially free and vast source of highly educated “techies” – educated at their own expense — corporations throw their political weight away from having to pay (fair share of taxes) for educating Americans. Besides, these foreign born of privilege can be lured in at lower pay rates due to being anxious to establish a beach-head here for chain migrating their families away from the growing instability in their home region.

    ============

    ^This^ discussion reminds me of our first conversation with a stranger on our recent Alaskan cruise. It was at breakfast on the first day out of the origin port of Vancouver, BC. A very tall (6’6″??) gentleman (Gene), estimated age 73, sat alone (his wife had died at age 60) at a table that would accommodate five. We asked to join him.

    He was a retired machinist who had worked all his life for Timken Roller Bearing. He was now a “snowbird” who split his time between Florida and Bucyrus, Ohio. He had a big smile and a charming hick manner of speech so his home town came out as an exaggerated Byoo sigh russ, Ohio. Timken is still very much a going concern although he lamented significant outsourcing over the years.

    Gene could charm the balls off a brass monkey so I was not surprised to see two Chinese women ask him to join in a photo op as our ship stood motionless before a huge glacier. He was centered behind and between these women with his two long arms around them. My wife and I watched. His huge hands slid upward and cupped one breast of each women. They began to laugh… so did I, my wife, and others. He smiled broadly and in his best slow hick drawl said “Well .. that’s .. whut .. they .. told .. me .. to .. do.”

    When the ship eventually resumed its motion away from the glacier Gene was heard to say “That’s one of the longest periods of time I have ever looked at something without having a drink.”

        As a Basque I can assure you that we were quite happy to call ourselves Spaniards until the poison of brain-dead ideological nationalism made it unacceptable in certain circles, and if you didn’t want to get a bullet from ETA who are not fond of historical accuracy.

        The Phoenicians, Carthaginians, etc, never even really made it into the Basque mountains: too poor and tricky to control. ‘Land of cheese and wood’, not olives and silver.

        The Romans did at one point slaughter many of the Basque males, and marry the women to the legionaries who came from, of all places, Celtic Britain.

    Most are receding although some are growing and advancing. One of the glaciers we viewed is said to have been receding for more than two hundred years so it is not a new phenomenon. The scary part is the RATE at which it is receding. Currently at an average of 6 feet per DAY. As we watched I saw a half dozen chunks drop off (calving) into the sea and with a little time lag the loud crack sound would reach us.

    How can you preserve “white national culture,” which does not exist. ‘White’ is not even a stable, biologically determined trait; it is socially contructed to preserve an oppressor status. There is no shared, common “white” literature, art, tradition, religion, clothes, song, etc.

    What whites share is white privilege and certain characteristics of a “white supremacy” culture: perfectionism, sense of urgency, defensiveness, quantity over quality, worship of the written word, paternalism, either/or thinking, power hoarding, individualism, objectivity, and a belief in a right to comfort.

    There is no such thing as “white culture” to preserve. Even the whites on CFN don’t share common religion, art, tradition, clothes, etc. without even going to the national level. We are 330 million in the US and the so-called “whites” in the US also do not share a common culture.

    OBAMA VICTORIOUS ONCE AGAIN

    Obama has a phone, a pen, and 100 nations backing him up on his Iran deal. Obama no longer has to worry about congress. Obama’s victories over congress just keep piling up. Obama’s domestic and foreign policy legacies are now of historic proportions.

    WASHINGTON — The two-month Republican-led effort to kill the Iranian nuclear accord in Congress failed Thursday, after 42 Democrats filibustered a procedural vote related to the nuclear deal.

    “Today’s outcome was clear, decisive, and final,” said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). “There’s now no doubt that the United States Congress will allow this deal to go forward.”

    President Barack Obama lauded the vote as a “victory for diplomacy, for American national security and for the safety and security of the world.”

    • FincaInTheMountains September 11, 2015 at 6:36 am #

      There are certainly quite a number of achievements of President Obama, which most of the Americans voters cannot appreciate, not on the logical and conscious level, due to a general level of ignorance in the political affairs, art of governing large complex systems and available use of levers of power.

      Just to mention a few:

      1. Did not let Hillary Clinton or McCain to take over the red button in 2008. Peace Nobel Prize.

      2. De facto recognition of the integration processes in the post-Soviet space (Reset)

      3. Relief of the global financial and economic “Lehman Brothers” crisis by pumping liquidity into the bottom of financial pyramid (through social programs.)

      4. Created the system of financial control over insurance companies and “creative” financial instruments

      5. Reform of the CFE Treaty and the signing of START-3

      5. Cancellation of the deployment of SM-3 missile defense system in Poland and Romania (PRO focus on the marine component.)

      6. The refusal to bomb Assad Syria and legalize the bombing of Libya

      7. Resuscitation of Reset (meeting in Ireland)

      8. Resuscitation of Christianity in the United States (Easter breakfasts) and equating ISIS to the Crusades

      9. Radical improvement of public and railway transport + the introduction of new standards for energy-saving and “green” technologies (natural gas and electric motors, Tesla)

      10. Creating the conditions for accommodation of industrial production of the 5th generation in the United States and the return of high-tech jobs to the United States from China (reindustrialization of US)

      11. Creating a system of civil defense and the organization of inter-party cooperation in Emergency Situations. (Hurricane Sandy and Chris Christie)

      12. The killing of Osama bin Laden and removal of Bandar bin Sultan from power. Extended financial control system to Saudi Arabia and Turkey.

      13. Overcoming the budget crisis due to the need to raise the debt ceiling by reducing defense spending (put brakes on the printing press)

      14. Suspension of Hillary Clinton from the State Department and the beginning of the policy of “do not do stupid shit policy”

      15. Reform of the health insurance, which made the American labor uncompetitive

      16. Sabotaged the sabotage the Sochi Olympics

      17. Sabotaged the anti-Russian sanctions, which forced Angela Merkel to throw off the mask and to impose sanctions herself.

      18. The ban on arms to ukro-Nazi

      19. Transpacific Agreement on cooperation and control of the NAFTA

      20. Agreement with Iran to prevent war with Iran + participation of Iran in the suppression of the Islamic State.

    Attention! Moscow is speaking!

    But they are-morally squalid psychopaths still hope … And suddenly a miracle happens! It can also hope? Hope, of course was not forbidden, but not very deep…

    All set of wonders has already been exhausted, all Soviet Unions are no more, all revolutions have already burned their offensive tire-fires all over the world. And dollars – these funny cartoon money, makes no sense to replicate, and to call this mediocre charlatan action with beautiful name – Quantitative Easing,,,, Treasuries … Well, well …

    You could throw a heap of dollars, but down still go, because the laws of physics have not been canceled. A habitual criminal set of tools and skills are virtually no more. All revolutions had been played out, all economies, which could be destroyed – have been destroyed, all states that were standing in the way are already burning down. Even dust and debris from the Twin Towers had disappeared. Only the total devastation and chaos remains in the world frightening with its ominous grandeur to the state of frenzy.

    And in the midst of this chaos, how ironically, in the same glorious city of New York, as if carried on the top of the crest of the tsunami of world ills and misfortunes, going around the planet several times the UN General Assembly rostrum stands. At its usual place, with the emblem of intelligent civilizations, on the green, life-affirming background … It will not be a prosecutor’s platform (not the time), but will provide an opportunity to draw conclusions and place accents.

    These accents are irrelevant to the illusory hopes and aspirations of our already familiar geopolitical criminals. Indeed, the main law of life sounds very succinctly: For everything in life you have to pay. True gentlemen pay for themselves! How true they are – that is the question…

    They will certainly try hard (and already are tripping all over themselves) in order to divert public attention from the upcoming major event of September 15, to distort its meaning with cynical vague political web of Western media’s lies and forgery. But this time they will not have such an enviable opportunity. We are well and diligently, in the most savage way, learned the harsh lessons of life! Through trial and error … This is the most effective lessons that are absorbed not only the mind and intellect but also transmitted genetically. From father to son, from mother to daughter … This is – Russia, which has never lost the war, and even its defeat through extraordinary ways turns into a triumph of the Victory!

    It is Russia that will attend the UN General Assembly in the person of its President.

    It is Russia that has something to say. Attention! Moscow is speaking!

There are screening, intense background checks, and vetting processes in place. We are talking about 10,000 Syrians fleeing violence.

        Q., you should be careful about aligning yourself with ISIS on a public forum. Your belief that Islam is a religion of violence supports the view of ISIS:

        On May 13, 2015, the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization released an audio message from the group’s caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who asserted that Islam is not the religion of peace, but rather the religion of violence.

        ISIS is wrong. The world’s 1.6 Billion Muslims are peaceful people because they follow a religion of peace.

        From the Quran: “In the long run, evil in the extreme will be the end of those who do evil. For that they rejected the signs of Allah and held them up to ridicule.”

        The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war.

        Don’t side with the terrorists, Q.

    The Syrian Express

    August and September 2015 are marked by a significant increase in aid to the Syrian government from Iran and from Russia. Accelerated pace has already become legendary “Syrian Express”.

    The true cause of anxiety and anger of the Americans, apparently, is not that Russia came to Syria, but how she did it. United States were planned for massive Russian infantry against ISIS. The death of a large number of Russian troops, along with possible terrorist attacks on the territory of the Russian Federation would have to finally shake the internal situation in Russia.

    By the way, on September 8, Russia recognized the presence in Syria only of its military specialists, who, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, train Syrians in handling new types of technology. But for the troops of President Assad that is of great strategic help, not to mention the moral effect, which is almost more important. After all, the Syrian army is fighting for more than four years, and it is not hard to guess what a joy it caused a sudden increase in aid.

    Stopped against the resistance of government troops, the ISIS will have to look for exits to the sea coast elsewhere. Because to go to Turkey or Israel would be a suicide, there is only one way, very comfortable in all respects. This is the Gulf monarchies, which among other things have oil infrastructure. We should not forget that Arabia Peninsula is the cradle of Islam. In such a situation in a couple of years under the self-proclaimed Caliphate will be the entire Arabian Peninsula with the exception that the few Shiite areas. The price of oil will also soar to unprecedented heights.

    Blitzkrieg in the southern direction for the Islamic State is quite possible even for the reason that the morale of the army of Saudi Arabia is very low.

    There is some other option of transition troops Assad into successful offensive. Then, if the ISIS suffers defeat in Syria and will be squeezed out to Iraq, Islamists will have only one way – to win the Middle Eastern monarchies: Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and possibly Oman. And to protect allies will be the responsibility the United States and Great Britain (in the case of Jordan – Israel), and not just by show-off bombings on camera, but by large presence of ground troops with all its attendant delights: large losses, costs and caustic glee on the part of Iran. By the way, Iran has every chance to get out of that particular geopolitical upheaval on the top.

    In fact, to create a new strategy, the White House will need time, but there is not much. Syrian trap is shut, leaving most of the players inside. The only question is who will manage to get out, and who will remain there forever.

The purpose of the ODESSA was purportedly to establish and facilitate secret escape routes, later known as ratlines, to allow SS members to avoid capture and prosecution for war crimes and to escape to Latin America or the Middle East.

Hitler would never have considered any kind of grand replacement as is happening now – even if the alliance had been close, which it wasn’t. He was closer to the Japanese, but these two proud Fascist Nations would never have mixed up their identities with each other howsoever much they respected each other.

      To say Merkel is in the heritage of Hitler is to go full retard. Don’t follow BRH down this bumpy road to nowhere. If you really want to know, here it is. It’s hard to believe – and that’s exactly why they’ve gotten away with it so far.

    Is this your opinion, based on your fear or your prejudice, or do you have any evidence? The way to counter-act “non-peaceful Muslims” is to increase overall immigration. It is a fact that 65% of US Muslims feel Americans, first; only 45% of European Muslims feel French or German, first. Why?

    The reason Muslims in America have been less susceptible to anti-Western Islamist ideology than Muslims in France and other European countries is due to the fact that the United States, unlike most European countries, is a diverse immigrant society with a much longer history of absorbing non-European immigrants.

    Accepting more immigrants, creating a more diverse population, is the safest way forward.

    Times change. The year was 9 AD and Varus entered the dark German Teutoburg forest with three legions to subjugate forever the Teutons and Huns. These proud and free tribes gathered and elected red haired giant Arminius (aka Hermann the German) as their leader for this battle and immediately marched out to confront the overconfident romans, who were used to subjugating the pathetic french and helvetion tribes. The German women reminded their men what was at stake, bearing their breasts to show what would suckle the offspring of their enemies if they failed to meet the challenge…and chanting “either come home behind your shields, or on your shields”. It took a week, but the Germans eradicated the roman army entirely….killing over 100,000 and capturing all three roman eagles. Surviving and wounded roman soldiers were roasted alive to appease their fierce Nordic gods. Thereafter, the always practical romans bought off the border tribes and fought skirmishes along the German border only when necessary. The German tribes reverted to their previous ways, squabbling with each other and living the way of free warriors on privately owned farms and estates.
    So how is it the modern german just lays down and bares his stomach like a submissive bitch dog? Could it be the loss of the bloodline? The Russian slavs gang raped and impregnated every German female from age 5 (russians have some standards) to 50, a common practice of conquering armies.

      Yes, the Allies were major rapists – in fact the Russian army was ordered to “break their racial pride”. The soldiers from Central Asia were by far the worst saying “War good here” upon seeing the lovely maidens of the Rhineland.

      Imagine the opposite: if we had attacked Russia from the East, our boys would have had their way with the women of Central Asia en route to Moscow. What joy there could have been meeting our German brothers there! Getting access to the enemies women is one of the purposes of war – or at least a perk. But instead we chose the way of racial suicide, serving unknown masters so our Elite could share in the unholy profits they offered.

      The pathetic Churchill fought against the mass importation of Blacks in Britain after the war. He was shouldered aside. The fool had served his purpose – helping to destroy the Man who had really fought for Europe and the White Race.

    An army division is 20K men, aged 18-30. Merkel is allowing 800K “Syrians?” this year. Assuming 60% are military aged (a very low estimate – based on background shots from the “news”) that’s 480,000 Muslim males in ONE year. That’s the equivalent of 24 divisions – allowed into the heart of Germany, without a shot being fired.

    Numbers based evidence indicates Merkel (et al) are making an horrendous mistake – unless some other evil agenda is driving this – which seems more and more likely.

    The reason Muslims “feel?” accepted in the US probably has to do with lower overall numbers here in the States, and the sociological concept of tipping points.

      P4W, you, too, should be careful about aligning yourself with ISIS on a public forum. Your belief that Islam is a religion of violence supports the view of ISIS:

      On May 13, 2015, the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization released an audio message from the group’s caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who asserted that Islam is not the religion of peace, but rather the religion of violence.

      ISIS is wrong. The world’s 1.6 Billion Muslims are peaceful people because they follow a religion of peace.

      From the Quran: “In the long run, evil in the extreme will be the end of those who do evil. For that they rejected the signs of Allah and held them up to ridicule.”

      The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war.

      Don’t side with the terrorists, P4W. People fleeing ISIS are not ISIS.

      Here’s the quote – it wasn’t to Fallaci but to the United Nations itself.

      In 1974 [Algerian President] Houari Boumedienne, the man who ousted Ben Bella three years after Algerian independence, spoke before the General Assembly of the United Nations. And without circumlocutions he said: ‘One day millions of men will leave the southern hemisphere of this planet to burst into the northern one. But not as friends. Because they will burst in to conquer, and they will conquer by populating it with their children. Victory will come to us from the wombs of our women.'”

      But go deeper. This man was obviously in on the Plan. Fallaci didn’t know – she was thrown off by the theory of Bat Yeor, an Israeli journalist. Yeor said that Europe was badly frightened by the Arab Oil cut backs and basically agreed to surrender then and there to Eurabia. This agreement really happened, but it was just an working out of the original Kalergi Plan.

    Not a lot I can add this week. Looking at the Europeans being invaded (and that’s what it is. let’s drop the words ‘migrant’ or ‘immigrants’), it reminds me of Rome in 400 AD. the gothic tribes then invaded because of pressure from other eastern barbarians, and I think we can blame ISIS, but ISIS was partly a western/Saudi creation.
    Also, there is a serious case of abulia in Europe, abulia a clinical case of apathy. They’ve lost any kind of willpower, and the EU seems in league with corporate power to destroy the white race, and let’s be honest, a lot of whites, including many posting on this site, want it to happen. read Respail’s The Camp of the Saints. It’s here, now, except it’s Germany instead of France welcoming destruction.

    European leaders are bought by big money, and they have their cushy lives guaranteed, so they don’t care. Nor do we, nor does anyone. Oh, WE care, but we have no power. Of course, the Obama lovers on this site are happy. No matter that Obama is simply a tool of the corporations, a lot of you are content this unqualified, muslim (And he is, although not a very good one) academic is ending the country. We now live in a dictatorship, and probably some of you think it’s a good idea. There were people who thought when the Roman republic ended and became an empire, it was a good thing.
    When you realize, as I did, that the media in the west are not here to ‘tell the truth’, but are courtiers to the ruling class…it changes your mind. You see the truth.

    Like JHK says, most Americans live in a fantasy world, and no one’s waking up yet. Probably the best way to live now is to find a small town or group of people who share your views and mores, and band together. I wonder what kind of a community Clusterfucknation would be. If we all lived together, how would it work? Union Grove or Brecht’s City of Mahogonny?
    And would we defend it when the invaders come?

    There is an racist ignorance on CFN again this week: The belief that because Syrians are not Christian, and are brown, they are somehow dangerous. The ugly belief that Europe will be endangered by accepting Syrian refugees. The fear that Europe will not be white. The refusal to accept the prima facie evidence of 1.6 Billion devout Muslims that Islam is a religion of peace. If you want to stop the outflow of refugees, stop bombing, invading, and occupying Middle Eastern countries.

    The US has bombed or invaded or occupied 14 countries in the last 35 years. Let’s see who the US has bombed, invaded, or occupied: Iran (1980, 1987-1988), Libya (1981, 1986, 1989, 2011), Lebanon (1983), Kuwait (1991), Iraq (1991-2011, 2014-), Somalia (1992-1993, 2007-), Bosnia (1995), Saudi Arabia (1991, 1996), Afghanistan (1998, 2001-), Sudan (1998), Kosovo (1999), Yemen (2000, 2002-), Pakistan (2004-) and now Syria.

    And Islam is a “violent cult”? Christian white west, look in the mirror.

      Wrong, the problem is simply that earth’s carrying capacity has been exceeded as has America’s. Just within this nation itself here will necessarily be lots of forced shifts in population due to climate change, taking on the rest of the globe’s rising numbers of desperate is beyond the question. Nature is not to be cajoled by moral debates over perceived wrongs of the past; its not the pearly gates we’re confronting but rather nature’s ruthless calculus about where remains survivability due to in-place balance of resources to population. Its a new game from here on of where does that balance remain and how to preserve it. America will be swamped as will Europe if the dreamy headed Liberal Left have their way of population redistribution.

    You say that like it’s a bad thing. The greatest period of European history was “La Convivencia” when Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived together in peace, learned together, and shared their learning with the world.

    Then Catholicism became the sole religion in the Iberian Peninsula and began expulsions and forced conversions. Damn Christians ruined it. But with any luck we will see “La Convivencia” bloom again. Angela is doing her part.

    The European refugee crisis is the result of “social engineering.”

    Translated into English – a massive American operation to undermine the EU (well, it was not possible through TTIP, find a plan B), which is carried out with the support of some European politicians in the pocket of NSA.

    The TTIP negotiations are not going well for the American side:
    the supranational “arbitration tribunals” that were supposed to be private and breaking any European law over the knee are not private anymore, but public and subject to European law. This solution is the middle finger shown the pro-American lobby.

It is too long for me to re-type here and I don’t know how to get a link for it since I found it on my ‘dumb’ phone. If I can find it again on my computer I’ll copy and paste it.

    “…The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but retains what is essential; the deciding power in this question cannot be the individual, but the State alone….

    …For Fascism, the growth of empire, that is to say the expansion of the nation, is an essential manifestation of vitality, and its opposite a sign of decadence. Peoples which are rising, or rising again after a period of decadence, are always imperialist; and renunciation is a sign of decay and of death. Fascism is the doctrine best adapted to represent the tendencies and the aspirations of a people…”

    Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention… the security process at Anchorage Airport when leaving to come home was beyond over-the-top:

    Everyone except people over 75 had to remove their shoes. Not sure what document was needed to prove you were over 75 but, in any case, I was 2 months short. Neither Newark, Chicago, or Denver bothered with shoes.

    EVERYTHING had to be removed from your pockets and placed in the plastic tray… even a napkin and a packet of sweet and low.

    Having successfully run the gauntlet, my wife got well ahead of me and was putting her shoes back on. My tray of stuff passed through the xray machine but I flunked and was being thoroughly wanded… and sent back and forth a few times through the people xray.

    I was causing a backup and had to stand aside while the less threatening people piling up behind me were processed. Then a DEA guy said “your wife down there… she is your wife, right?” says this (a 2″ x 1″ rectangular money clip) belongs to you… is that correct?” “Yeah, why” I say. He opens from the clip’s side (like a poor man’s Swiss Army knife) a dull blade that wouldn’t cut warm butter 1.5″ long by 3/8″ wide and looks at me like it was a Machete. The gold plated money clip had been my brother’s for 45 years (it was a gift for 10 years of service from an employer back in the day) so it had sentimental value (he died suddenly on Sept 17 last year) so I walked 50 yards to a special counter in my stocking feet and had it mailed to my home at a cost of $9.25. It arrived in today’s mail.

    In a letter to the editor of the Times I implied that the word “sheltering” was a shameless euphemism. Now, today, I read “U.S. to **Take In** More Syrians”

    Two days ago the White House was **considering**.
    Two days ago the number was 10,000, now it is **at least** 10,000. Two days ago we were going to **shelter** these Syrians but today we are going to **take in** and **accept** these Syrians.

    I absolutely positively guarantee that far more than 10,000 will be taken in, will be made legal citizens, and will never return to Syria unless it’s on vacation 20 years from now.

    Sanders’ newfound mainstream popularity suggests Americans are changing their views on socialism.

    For many younger Americans, that appears to be the case, according to University of Massachusetts, Amherst economics professor Richard Wolff, who said the socialist label is not nearly as scary as it once was.

    “For people 30 years of age and younger, saying, ‘Bernie Sanders is a socialist’ cuts exactly no ice,” Wolff told VOA. “It’s useless. It doesn’t persuade anyone.”

    Bernie Sanders has never proposed “something for nothing” because everything Sanders has proposed will be paid for… by tax hikes on the rich, the price of civilization. I know you don’t like him, Q., but at least don’t misrepresent socialism. Redistribution works, even though you don’t like it.

    ===============

    Washington (CNN) Bernie Sanders says America’s wealthiest individuals and large corporations would face tax hikes if he’s elected president.

    The Vermont senator who’s closed the gap on Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential race said Sunday he’d use that money to pay for infrastructure, job creation and college costs.

    In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union,” Sanders complained of oil subsidies, companies stashing revenue overseas to avoid taxes and billionaire investor Warren Buffett’s secretary paying a higher tax rate than he does.

    “Clearly, that has got to change,” Sanders said.

    He said the United States needs rules that would “dampen down the speculation on Wall Street,” and that he’d like to break up Wall Street’s biggest financial institutions.

    And, he said, he’d “substantially” raise taxes.

    “Yes, we have to raise individual tax rates substantially higher than they are today because almost all of the new income is going to the top 1%,” Sanders said.

    “And yes, those folks and large corporations will have to pay under a Sanders administration more in taxes so that we can use that revenue to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure, create the jobs we need, make sure that every kid who has the ability is able to get a college education in America because public colleges and public universities will be tuition-free,” he said.

    Asked about the type of people who would make up his cabinet, Sanders ticked off the names of three liberal economists: New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize-winner Joseph Stiglitz and former Bill Clinton labor secretary Robert Reich.

    • Florida Power September 12, 2015 at 10:24 am #

      If Sanders wins and hires Krugman Stiglitz and Reich you can bet they will take their marching orders from the 1% who will remain unscathed by the tax hikes which will fall on the poor slobs who make up what’s left of the great middle. It has always been thus.

      I’d have more respect if Bernie vowed to abolish the IRS, or at a minimum replace 99% of its workforce with robots. Of all the FedGov agencies the IRS is the most ripe for automation.

      But of course Bernie would never do this because he is at heart a Big Government type — after all he’s been plugged into it for 34 years — and those jobs are a form of workfare. Certainly Krugman would add as many government jobs as his imagination could contrive.

      So sorry. We are entering a time of crisis of confidence in socialist government. Trump is symptomatic of this unease, as is Sanders, ironically. The workforce participation rate continues to deteriorate. Those on some form of public assistance remain at stubbornly high levels. The mathematics of pension plans and social security are problematic at best. The old Progressive-New Deal government-by-agency paradigm is at an inflection point and you can bet it will fight for its life. Socialist government is no longer just the arbiter between Big Business and Big Labor as in the good old days of the WPA and the CCC. It has become an interest group in and of itself. Great Society, indeed! How’s that War on Poverty going? That War on Drugs? Maybe if the government declared a War on Wealth and Prosperity we’d see our fortunes flourish.

The only thing I would add is that The Gubmint is now a fully-minted division of Big Bidness considering Citizens United. It has been for a while, increasingly so, but with Citizens United that relationship is now codified into law and set in stone. There’s no going back — only forward straight to hell.

Nay more: they have actively aided these aliens in breaching the borders and are prepared to take care of them using our funds. The Social Contract is blown to smithereens. They have no right to elect a new people. Pure Tyranny.

    I stand behind my previous analysis of the refugee situation in Europe: a massive American operation to undermine the EU which is carried out with the support of European politicians in the pocket of NSA.

    If current immigration laws and procedures would be applied, there would be no crisis, period.

    Somebody is exerting a lot of influence to prevent European authorities to apply their own laws.

    It reminds me of Maidan in Kiev in 2013, when Molotov cocktails were thrown at the police and police just received a stand down order.

    Migrants have rebelled against Hungarian authorities: PM Orban

    Reuters
    BUDAPEST: Migrants have rebelled against Hungarian authorities, seized railway stations and rejected registration in the past few days, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Friday, adding that police will take tougher action from next week.

    “Considering that we are facing a rebellion by illegal migrants, police have done their job in a remarkable way, without using force,” Orban told reporters after meeting Manfred Weber, chairman of the European People’s Party group in European Parliament.

    Orban said that from Sept. 15, when tough laws on immigration take effect, those migrants who cross Hungary’s border illegally will be arrested.

    Remember the slogan of the right and far right to justify the military invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan? It was “we have to fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them here.” So much for that slogan. Soon enough, considering the the now unending Middle Eastern refugee trail of tears to Europe, those who arrogantly and boldly boasted that slogan will now be fighting “them” “here.” Who do you think these two smug bastards are laughing at? You, that’s who, you numb nuts. And I am too.

    Of all the FedGov agencies the IRS is the most ripe for automation.- Florida Power

    Agree with most of what you wrote, FP, except ^this.^

    Read The Pale King by David Foster Wallace, a book completed after his death by his editor/publisher. The insane INCOME based tax system is far too complex and ever-changing and therefore could not be automated. What is needed is a single % rate system on consumption – i.e. a relatively large sales tax. Every dime spent gets taxed. I believe presidential candidate, John Kasich (who, of course, hasn’t got a prayer) favors such a system.

    • Florida Power September 12, 2015 at 5:46 pm #

      Q — I was being somewhat metaphorical in “abolish the IRS” and automate it. Indeed, because lawyers are involved in the present scheme there are words as well as numbers in the tax code stew and words do not admit quantification: the job of the lawyer is to persuade via the quality of eloquence.

      Perhaps Capex and O&M really are two distinct categories of being but in my world they drive decisions that impact whether work gets done or not.

      There must be a better, simpler way but just as the IRS workers will resist replacement by machines the Tax-Industrial-Complex will resist being legislated out of existence.

    could any politician reaching high office from that state not be totally corrupted? – elysianfield

    ================

    I don’t know, it’s possible.

    But I think NJ gets a bad rap via popular culture – shows like the Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire. And NJ becomes the punch line of many jokes because every visitor northbound on the Jersey Turnpike on his way to NYC passes thru the armpit of stinking refineries from roughly exit 12 thru 16. This is everyone’s concept of NJ. Of course, there’s the problem of Newark, Camden and Atlantic City and their history of political corruption.

    Let’s face it, wherever there are politicians there will be corruption… even in Podunk, USA.

    Q, yeah, there’s lots of disputation over what constitutes “race”, whether it’s strictly a biological classification or whether it’s about shared culture and history.

    In any case I was using “race” as skin-color classification. Then again you’d get arguments over whether “race” has any biological validity. Some bona-fide scientists and medical people say yes and others say no.

    I say that race and culture are two different things as you see people of one color adopting cultural elements associated with people of different coloration. Jazz, as a musical form, is one example. Christianity and Islam are two others.

    Blacks and whites in the US also have a common and shared history albeit an often unhappy one.

    If, as you say, a “race” is a group of people who share culture and history, and blacks and whites share a common culture and history in the United States, does that put them into the same racial group? Maybe that would be an “American” race.

    There’s a lot of racial inter-mixing anyway, blacks having a lot of white and amerindian blood in their family tree. Same goes for American whites and Amerindians.

    If you want to shit-can the whole concept of “race” that’s probably fine too. Maybe we should talk about “citizenship” or “ethnicity” or “nationality” instead as a classification.

      Amazingly, despite sharing the same time and roughly the same space, blacks and whites DON’T share the same history and definitely not the same culture. And they largely speak a different language or at minimum a different dialect.

      THIS IS THE PROBLEM. Blacks have not assimilated. Is this because they can’t or they won’t? You tell me.

        ” Blacks have not assimilated. Is this because they can’t or they won’t?”

        I would say that before the 1960’s, they couldn’t, and after the 1960’s, they wouldn’t….

        • Janos Skorenzy September 13, 2015 at 3:17 am #

          People whose IQ is 85 live in a different world than you. They can’t assimilate now because their intellect just isn’t sufficient. The intellect doesn’t stand alone – with it goes character, morality, world view, and culture.

    From today’s NY Times. These stats should set your hair on fire:

    “About 295,000 babies were born in 2013 to undocumented parents, about ***8 percent of all births*** in the United States that year, according to a study by the Pew Research Center. The number of babies with at least one parent in the United States illegally declined from a peak of about 370,000 in 2007, Pew found. In all, at least 4.5 million children who are American citizens because they were born in the United States have an undocumented immigrant parent. Donald J. Trump, a contender for the Republican presidential nomination, recently stirred debate by calling for a repeal of the constitutional right to birthright citizenship. He said he would deport the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country and their children, even if they are citizens.”

    Note, the anchor baby rate of births in 2007 comes to more than 10%.

      If I have $1000 in a savings account at bank A earning .125% a year and I hear that I can get .25% at bank B down the street so I close the bank A account and open one with the same money at bank B, would you consider that a purchase?

      I’ll answer for you…..NO, it’s an investment. Same with the purchase of stock.

      Now, because I’m thinking about wpa and all the people he has pissed off at CFN, and I’m thinking about that grizzled old guy in Anchorage who sells holsters, I get a hankering to own a Glock so I pull the $1000 plus accumulated interest and buy one. This is when I pay the tax on the purchase price at, say, 20%.

      And then I hire a private detective to find out where wpa lives and I pay him his fee plus 20% tax.

      See how that works?

      BTW, why do you assume the rich are idle. Most of them are probably so busy in their “getting” that there aren’t enough hours in a day. The government will rake in lots of dough when the rich buy their next yacht. The idle poor will be taxed very little since they have so little to spend.

    The more I hear and read, it is fully apparent that the pussy liberals who want to ‘live in peace’ with the islamics, and, above all, be politically correct at all costs, have no conception of the historical context of the aggressive neo-Ottoman Empire that nearly defeated europe in the recent past.

    I even talked recently with a locally ‘powerful’ female doctor, very liberal and claiming to be ‘caring’ about people, who claimed that the maniacs who are beheading children and performing clitorectomies on young women are just a TINY minority of the islamics and that most are nice people and in no way support such barbarism. Her head is obviously up her ass and she doesn’t even know it and is uneducable.

    How could a grown-up American come up with such dumb idea? Sure, if you want to eliminate even a hope of re-industrialization of US, collect “relatively large sales tax”.

    This time, I’d have to give it to wpa, why not collect a “relatively large sales tax” from the total on every stock, bond, derivative bought or sold, and by “relatively large sales tax” I understand just 1%.

    I am more generous than Mr.Q – I would allow for 2 million a year deduction from that sales tax, so if you trade normally for your own pension fund, most likely you get exempted.

    @ P4W & Co.;

    Regarding the following:

    “Mister D –
    Yeah, in extremis there are certainly women who can do combat as well as men. Our differences for this discussion would lie in how extreme those events become. . . If you HAD to do an organized draft of civilians, I’d guess (round numbers, made up on the fly) that out of 1,000 men aged 18-30; that you would get 100 very effective soldiers and 10 amazing killing machines. Out of 1000 women aged 18-30 what would you get?”-p4w.

    To answer this question I need to do a little unpacking. First off, I’m not comfortable with the term “killing machine” because it is grotesquely misleading. The people that I’ve known who were (hyperbolically) described that way were just very talented *technicians* with the usual load of personal issues, doubts etc. None of them functioned like a mechanism or ‘machine’, and (if you think about it) even a shark – supposedly “nature’s perfect killing machine” – has a personality. Personalities affect performance, sometimes in a way that transcends specifications, sometimes just the opposite. Bottom line is that they’re *people* and that has to be factored into any assessment or report that matters.

    Secondly, a 1000 draftees is going to be much closer to a truly random assortment of human talent than 1000 *volunteers*. In that case I’m comfortable applying 2 heuristic rules that withstand the test of time: The 80/20 Rule and The 2-Percent Rule. In short, that 80% of the work in any endeavor is done by 20% of the human resources, and that 2% of a random assortment of humans will be comfortable with combat conditions, are *fully* aware of that environment and best able to truly master combat skillsets.

    Applying the aforementioned to your scenario the breakdown looks like this: 200 ‘high functioning’ soldiers who are the work-horses of their units, 20 people very good at doing the actual killing & 780 draftees desperately trying to escape the situation they’re in any way they can (video games, drugs, masturbation, endless bullshitting about off-task subjects, etc.). Of these three groups, the ‘high functioning’ soldiers are the critical element. Through them the other two groups are regulated and kept on track.

    And if there were a similar number of female conscripts? I haven’t and as far as we know *we* haven’t seen this scenario unfold yet, we don’t have enough information about how a 1000 women would perform in primary combat-arms units (Infantry, Armor, etc.). We do know how they perform in combat-support units like Air-Defense Artillery however, and the evidence suggest that they do *very well* indeed. It is also acknowledged that women recruits are “easier” to train because “they follow instructions better” than young male recruits according to more than one Drill Sergeant.

    “My point is that post-peak-everything, US society would not have the resources to spend winnowing through both male and female populations – we’d have to stick with the male half.”-p4w.

    That assumes that “US society” still functions as a coherent nation-state and controls a large enough human-resource pool to conscript troops out of. If the ‘fit’ *really* ‘hit the shan’ then a community defense-force will have to take what it could get, training & equipping on the fly. This is what already happens when societies crumble, and what happened to a certain extent on the American Frontier in the past. At the very least women in the community will need to be cross-trained. If they’re not then said defense-force will have to divert a lot of resources to guard them. IF the US or a large portion of it remains, strongly consider women in combat-support roles and for Advanced Marksmanship and Sniper training.

    “If populations self-select (all-volunteer military) then US society might afford the time and resources for the follow-on winnowing process. The volunteer military, IOW, may be another of those peak everything things.”-p4w.

    I look at the question very differently. Many of the best-known fighting organizations were all-volunteer and represented extreme examples of self-selection. They were also some of the most cost-effective organizations and useful examples of what’s possible under post-Collapse conditions.

    Consider the Texas Rangers when they were first chartered by the Republic of Texas: “unique in western military history” they “fit no known category: they were neither police nor regular army nor militia”.

    Regarding their logistical support and compensation the Texas Republic “provided neither guns nor men nor mounts… uniforms, provisions or barracks”. The Republic of Texas few resources, almost nothing in terms of tax revenue in fact “the only thing that the government reliably provided, in its wisdom, was ammunition”.

    Ranger captains were elected on the basis of merit, they appointed lieutenant/executive officers and terms of service were task-oriented (3-6 months at a time). Hierarchy was nearly flat. Logistical trail was next to nil.

    Under the extremely inspired leadership of Jack Hays they learned and perfected the skills to beat the Comanches (and less dangerous foes) at their own game on their own turf, but to get there they lost a lot of young/unattached men. The Rangers in point of fact invented a new twist on the art of war – at high cost.

    And then… the Rangers as an organization *forgot* what they learned because there wasn’t enough organizational structure to retain the lessons-learned and jump-start subsequent cohorts of Rangers.

    By 1860 when Peta Nocona was rampaging across the west-Texas frontier killing everything in sight, the Texas Rangers were back at square-one: “There were things that Jack Hays knew in 1839 that Rangers in general still had not learned twenty years later”- S C Gwynne, Empire of the Summer Moon.

    So, the lesson here is that all-volunteer military units are possible and even *preferable* under post-collapse conditions. They can run leaner, learn quicker and IF properly constituted and maintained around a command-cell nucleus, get progressively better skilled, equipped & supported over time. If not, then it’s an up-n-down show.

    Regarding how women would fit into an organization like this: it has worked in the past (think of WW2 Partisan units for example) and it could work in the future – entirely dependent on the culture of the resource-pool and the direness of necessity.

    Hope this helps?

    Cheers!

      So after many, many words you reverse your original position and revert to common sense: men as soldiers and women only as part of the emergency home guard. The many words and length of time hide the reversal from many if not most. But some of us see through people like you – after having suffered from your persecutions. Because you only revert to common sense if forced to – otherwise you have your orders or directives to implement. That’s why Europe is falling. A few people at the top of pyramid have their own interests and the legions of bureaucrats dutifully implement the program of destruction and mayhem. Needless to say, you can’t see this because your intellect is nimble enough to argue anything. Years from now, your race (the Mandarins) will begin to argue for an end to Muslim immigration – as if it was always your position – but only after it has caused the unspeakable destruction the Elite desire.

      You simply don’t have a working moral compass. And your intellect will argue for which ever way your needle swings – it’s false North being the mandates that come down from the levels of the pyramid above you.

        Wrong. If anything I expanded the military role of women as far as facts & first-person observations would allow, while answering P4W’s questions at length.

    What’s Obama going to do when a Russian MIG shoots down one of our F-16s in the skies over Syria? Apologize for getting in the way of one of their missiles? Offer to pay for the missile? Invite Putin for a beer summit?

Our media focuses on the Iran deal, ‘Obama’s Legacy’, ignoring the fact the whole world is melting down and WW3 seems to be right around the corner (whether Buck likes it our not) This is what happens when the most narcissistic member of the Choom Gang is elevated to leader of the free world. It took about 5 years to unravel, but was fun while it lasted.

        Discussion of Christian values is not really permitted in polite company in the EU already. Just as with patriotism.

        But this will be more than compensated for by the resurgence of Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe and Russia.

      Europeans fought from the 8th to the 18th centuries to free themselves from Islam (the 20th if we include the Balkans), Islam strived in the same period to enslave them.

      Welcoming, feeding and nurturing the poison viper has never been a ‘Christian value’. To have done so would have been suicide.

      ‘Convivencia’ is largely a myth.

      Killing,enslaving and deporting them was indeed a policy of the Christian kingdoms. And a very wise one.

      No accommodation can be found with orthodox Islam. To imagine otherwise is a dangerous fantasy.

    “You just don’t get the concept. No corporate tax, no state tax, no deductions, no exceptions, no exemptions, no tax returns” — Q

    No, it is you who don’t get the concept. State must have a say in preferable for common public good way of economic development. Income tax, with all its complications, is the most unobtrusive way of doing that, unless you prefer a commissar in leather jacket with a gun on his belt in every business. And yeas, you need a policing organ to insure compliance – the IRS.

    During my 20 years in States I ran several businesses, from very small to medium-sized, income tax was never on my list of biggest headaches. I’ve been audited several times, by Feds and by the State.

      As you might imagine it would be impossible for me to lay out in a blog comment the complete set of details involved in a single percentage consumption tax plan. Whatever that percentage turned out to be the states would get their cut from it. There would probably be years worth of congressional debate and in-fighting to establish these things. However, as I have already stated it ain’t never gonna happen………not because it’s not a great idea but because there are too many people vested in the current setup.

      If it is such an obviously stupid idea why do you suppose the Gov of Ohio, running for Prez, would list this among his proposed goals?

      • FincaInTheMountains September 12, 2015 at 8:02 pm #

        Listen, Mr.Q, run a little arithmetic here and calculate what percentage of their monthly income people in the lower and middle income brackets are spending on food, clothing, medicine – the items that are subject to current sales tax, and then try to apply it to the highest bracket – percentage-wise you get a significant difference, probably between 4 to 20 times more poor people will have to pay in taxes – again percentage-wise.

        That would be the most regressive tax ever devised, leading to social instability.

    “Russian forces are moving into the Middle East” — brh

    Russia for more than one month had strengthened its position in Syria, transferring specialists and technicians, but the leakage of it went just before the Berlin talks between Merkel, Hollande and Poroshenko.

    The Kremlin has finally made it clear to Europe that their European balls (that is if they have any) are in the steel Moscow’s grip. Putin felt ready to take away from lame-duck Obama his ISIS toy and begin to manage the flow of illegal migrants who are washing the European Union off the historical maps.

    The Kremlin’s goal is not to destroy the ISIS but to reformat it, first with extremely hard force, and then negotiate to transfer its activities from terrorist into the political plane, having an ally in the region.

    Putin has something that no one other politician in the modern world does – the experience of the successful pacification of ethnic, national, religious, separatist conflict (Chechnya, Indo-Pakistan conflict that almost went nuclear).

    In the first stage ISIS will receive courtesy lessons using the latest Russian weapons, mainly remote control, beat them the shit out with the highest possible losses from the territory of Syria that would be restored to its legitimate borders.

    The remaining bearded guys will be fed Altai buckwheat with Dagestan lamb, drink Kalmyk mare’s milk, will be put at the round table and receive an offer that they can’t refuse.

    Biggest BS of all times, that most Americans believe in, that you need an income tax to pay for state expenditures.

    Income Tax is primarily an mechanism of regulating economic activities of the country in the “soft”, not-central-planning way, when the situation does allow for that.

    Unfortunately, I believe that United States are beyond that point currently – meaning you do need a central planning for period of at least 5 years, and strategic planning for a period of 20-25 years.

    Personally, I see the only feasible way right now is to return back to FDR “New Deal” policies, including Public Works and price and capital controls. The bills are rapidly coming due.

    It’s pretty obvious that illegal immigration has been declining under President Obama since the peak illegal immigration moment under President Bush. Bush and the GOP were absolutely flooding the country with low wage undocumented workers.

      Buck,

      It is possible that illegal immigration has declined under Obama but it is not a conclusion that can be drawn simply because anchor babies were 10% in 2007 and were 8% in 2013. For example, the number of births per illegal female may have declined over that 6 year period. Please sign up for Logic 101 in a Jesuit University and it will all come clear.

      In any case, let me know when the % of anchor babies within the birth population drops to zero. Then I’ll be impressed.

        Beyond that, if you knew what you were talking about–despite your ‘Jesuit Logic’ posturing–you would realize that Democrats have implemented worker identification laws since President Obama took the helm. Laws that that inhibited the open arms/border policy of the Bush years and laws that have been near unanimously opposed by the GOP.

    Q, I also have never liked the notion of taxing employee earnings. What an absurd notion — to tax a person’s hard work and productivity — to penalize them for being productive.

    However, a flat rate consumption tax is regressive, meaning that tax has a much more significant impact on the many who live on the margins and who are just barely scraping by, whilst it’s rather insignificant to the wealthy in comparison. I know you know this, so what gives? How much blood do you think you can extract from these poor rocks?

    Show me a plan to make your consumption tax progressive rather than regressive, and I’ll consider it and maybe even implement it if you voted for me for president with your dollars.

      “Show me a plan to make your consumption tax progressive rather than regressive, and I’ll consider it…”

      Cold,
      A progressive sales tax has been described…called the “Fair Tax”. It’s salient feature is the payment, at the beginning of each year, to the citizens that pay tax, of their projected sales tax on all necessities of life…food, fuel, housing, etc. The payment is graduated in a manner inverse to your last year income…people in the lowest economic strata receive the largest checks…some over 100% of their tax burden. This consumption tax, as I recall, was in the neighborhood of 30% for all transactions.

      I read a book describing this proposal several years ago…I believe Rick Santorum had it as part of his platform… A quick Google search would probably better describe the system than my poor memory.

    And if you look into the matter thoroughly, the whole structure of TTIP somehow suspiciously reminds of the same neocolonial stranglehold.

    Just as “food” will act not some unfortunate country from the far corner of the former colonial world, but the European Union itself (!).

    When the colonial world was created, Europe consumed the resources of the conquered countries. After the creation of the European Union, it consumed the resources and potential of the ex-Soviet countries of Eastern Europe.

    Today came the time for United States to feed of the potential of the European Union.

    That is – when you create a “free trade zone” between the European Union and the United States – the EU will lose only for the reason that the cost of its production is always higher than the US.

    And with the new load in the form of additional social spending for the sake of millions of new refugees, the EU economy is becoming completely uncompetitive vis-à-vis the United States.

    And no matter how much United States had been criticized for “the economy of financial speculation,” now have up to $3 trillion of GDP that is coming from real production. And this production needs market – such as still solvent EU.

    The point is the creation of huge new markets without the participation of China, Russia and other BRICS countries.

    According to some experts, the unification of markets of US and EU in the near future will lead to cancellation of their currencies – respectively, the dollar and the euro – with the transition to a new transatlantic currency.

    It will help cancellation of all debts denominated in dollars and euros, and start a new economic expansion.

    That is how high the stakes are that could easy justify the chaotization of EU.

    Finc,
    You constantly overlook the geographic competitive advantage enjoyed by the USA (and now being squandered) as compared to your Mother Russia. The USA is essentially an island nation with serious blue water on the east and west….and soft pathetic fuckups representing no threat to the north and south. The USA is also both food and energy independent and could get along quite well as a free republic instead of an overextended dictatorial empire. The USA is still mostly populated by energetic and intelligent Caucasians. Now consider the plight of your beloved Russia. To the west, NATO has rolled right up to her border. The soft underbelly is threatened by the various central asian islamistans. The underpopulated east is being constantly encroached upon by various ethnics, mostly Chinese. Russia is blessed with unlimited natural resources and potentially the highest standard of living on the planet, but the population has been addled by alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. Average age of death for a Russian male is 64…..25% die in their 50s. Past 30 the women do not take care of themselves and quickly become unattractive babushkas……hence the reproduction rate is well under the 2.1 needed, so the population is declining and will not be able to defend its borders without utilizing their arsenal of neutron bombs. We here in Ft. Meade believe Russia and the USA are natural allies….and there is no reason anglosaxons and slavs should not cooperate to their mutual benefit….there are much greater ethnic threats to overcome.

      Absolutely. There is a long and full of successes history of cooperation between Russia and the United States: League of Armed Neutrality by Catherine II of Russia helped young American Republic, cooperation of Alexander II of Russia with Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War and two Russian Navy Fleets in New York and San Francisco to protect American shores, and above all, of course, the cooperation between Roosevelt’s America and USSR against Nazis during WWII.

      Currently, we are going through a bifurcation point in the history of our relationships, but I am sure it will be mostly behind us in short time and both Nations will determine the future vectors of their respective development looking into the future.

    Q, yeah, you’re right, there’s enough that divides black and white communities, as you say, dialect being one of them. Can’t or won’t assimilate? Probably both.

    Elysianfield makes a good point, that decades ago blacks wanted to assimilate but weren’t allowed to. Now they don’t want to.

    Then there’s still outside resistance. Integration sounds good as long as it’s somewhere else. As somebody on this blog used to say, the ones trumpeting desegregation and integration are the ones living in expensive and exclusive all-white neighborhoods ie the ones least likely to be affected.

    But you could also say that there’s a lot that separates white Manhattan-ites from white Appalachians. Or white Texas born ranchers from white New England college educated liberals. Or white people on either side of the Mason-Dixon line.

    That’s the whole point. Multiculturalism sounds all enlightened and high-minded and lovey-dovey but given the sorry world history of sectarian mayhem (including in the US in the 1860s) the last thing you want are divides inside your own country, cultural or otherwise.

    As Kunstler says European countries have a lot of Muslim citizens that are overtly hostile to infidel culture.

    Anyhow, even though there are cultural elements common to blacks and whites in the US including music, people still use skin color to define “race” or more generally, who is “us” and who is “them”. That is, “race” (as defined by color) a consideration separate from what constitutes “culture” or way of life.

    So, assuming that black-white integration was happening, with blacks and whites working and living peace-ably side by side, with blacks and whites living inside a shared language and culture, would you say that there’s such a thing as an “American” race?

    No, Volodya, you are missing the whole point of multiculturalism and diversity, which is increased acceptance of those different from you.

    So, it doesn’t matter how many “divides” there are inside your country: with multiculturalism there will be increasing love and cooperation, instead of hate and violence. Canada is the proof, Volodya.

    Multiculturalism: Yes! Assimiliation: No!

    Thanks for the response, md, it does help to clarify my thinking as regards women in combat positions. And, I’d agree with you, that if we have an all volunteer military there may not be any way to restrict these positions to males only – AS LONG AS the country has sufficient resources to devote extra manpower to this.

    As far as collapse in general, there are three questions that have to be answered, to wit; how fast, how deep, and how long.*

    *Assuming that one “believes” in collapse in the first place. This is, after all, the purpose of much of JHK’s life’s work, and certainly of this discussion thread. It makes the thread super easy to troll, witness the non-stop, incessant antics of wpasoak.

    From your statements on women in combat, in extremis – I’m lead to believe that you think collapse will be very deep and very long term. You may be right.

    As for me, I’ve prepared as well as I can for a deep collapse that might never end. I don’t wish for this, mind you. But I can prepare little more, without going over into eccentricity.

      Hello P4W:

      “From your statements on women in combat, in extremis – I’m lead to believe that you think collapse will be very deep and very long term. You may be right.”-prog.

      My comments were for mid-case not worst-case scenarios. Ie., ones without widespread application of nuclear weapons. In that case we’d have enough people to ‘reboot’ something of the lifestyle we currently enjoy, while at the same time providing ample reason to want a ‘defense force’.

      In that kind of conflict environment we’d be better off dispensing with male squeamishness about training and fighting side by side with female combatants. If we don’t, our opponents will and they’ll add that to their list of advantages.

      Regarding my attitude about ‘Collapse’: I certainly didn’t want it, but I haven’t lived this long by sticking my head in the sand. Looking back, my only nasty surprise was in 2008/9. I wasn’t cynical enough. I couldn’t believe that the relevant ‘PTB’ would sign off on their own destruction so carelessly. . . I suppose I still believed that there was such a thing as ‘The Greater Good’. . . How incredibly naïve of me!

      Prog,

      I was referring to some specific comments and commentators who wrote, ‘those people [fill in the blank] breed like cockroaches’ which strikes me as malevolent in spirit, or racist, if you will.

      Am I wrong? After all, it seems the definition of racist has come into question here on CFN.

      Janos proudly terms himself a racist as have others. You seem to view it as a pejorative or at least a discussion stopper which was not my intent.

      Now if somebody was to honestly and empirically observe that Mexicans, for example, have higher birthrates than their U.S. counterparts I would not view that as racist. They might even opine that Catholicism and poverty and major reason for the high birthrate which in and of itself is not racists. But if making the leap to moral/cultural superiority then that is defined as racism.
      (In fact, I consider many aspects of Western culture vastly superior to other cultures–am I a racist too?)

      But when I read ill-spirited vituperation it crosses a line into hate and not honest observation, IMO. But then again somebody like Janos just views their race as superior and perhaps without the vitriolic component, That is also considered racist according to the dictionary.

      But again, perhaps you have a different interpretation of the word.

    People trust the Police and Army far too much. But at least they’ve awoken to the dire straits we’re in.

    Buck Stud is innocent. It is not name calling when the person is in fact a racist. You qualify.

    To give another example: you are a Georgian. That is a fact. Pointing out that you are a Georgian is not name calling. There is a difference between objective description and insult. Calling you a Georgian is not name calling, even if you deny the truth, even if don’t recognize who you are.

      Very well. You are a chronically repetitive verbal pustule on the unwashed harry anus of a completely Cluster Fucked Nation. Carry on with your racist hatemongering, wpasoka, until you get every negative thing you deserve.

      There is a limit to the number of people one can love. Embrace it.

      Hey Finca, story on 60 min. tonite about ancient Christian communities being wiped out in Syria and Iraq, young Christian girls young as aged 10 being kidnapped and raped, ancient texts and sacraments burned; there’s this 1000 year old monestary outside Mosul surrounded by ISIS forces bent on its destruction. A century ago the western powers would mobilize to protect such a place, perhaps led by Rome, when the west had some balls, not now (don’t expect much from the Pharaoh , worried about climate change, or mother Merkel, ministring to Islam), how about Russian Marines, maybe Putin could deploy a Regiment to protect this ancient Christian site, where Aramaic, the language of Jesus is still spoken, and Jonah from the old Testament is supposed to be buried?

        Sorry, brh, I doubt very much that the Russian military operation in Syria will be affected by any sentimental notions, it will be subject to thoroughly developed General Stuff planning.

        Geopolitical stakes are too high and Syria right now happens to be a centerpiece cell on the World Chess Board.

        We are rapidly approaching a point when the World Financial system is going to be changed from bi-metallic (Dollar-Euro) to quadro-metallic system – supposedly Dollar-Euro-Ruble and the Fourth Component – some say it is not going to be Yuan, but Arabian Dinar.

        Don’t ask, I am befuddled myself. Let’s wait and see.

    FAUST

    You hellish creature, away, begone!
    Don’t let me catch you in my sight!

    MEPHISTOPHELES

    Please. Give me some little task:
    You know I cannot part from you
    Unless I’m given work to do —
    Not to be idle is all I ask.

    FAUST

    What’s that white spot on the water?

    MEPHISTOPHELES

    A Spanish three-master, clearing the sound,
    Fully laden, Holland-bound;
    Three hundred sordid souls aboard her,
    Two monkeys, chests of gold, a lot
    Of fine expensive chocolate,
    And a fashionable malady
    Bestowed on your kind recently.

    FAUST

    Sink it.

    MEPHISTOPHELES

    Right away.

    Looking at pics from Germany on Daily Mail site, most of the ‘migrants[‘ disembarking from trains are not young mothers clutching children or frail, elderly people, but fierce looking young bucks, aged 20-35, wearing watches and clutching I phones. They appear to be confident, strong, well fed and determined. It stands to reason only the strongest would survive a trek like that, thousands of miles over rough terrain. Is anybody asking, what’s the real reason hundreds of thousands of these men are entering Germany and Sweden? what’s the real purpose of this invasion? Why isn’t the MSM asking these questions, but, instead, acting the role of an advocate, obfuscating the truth of what’s happening, not rooting out the truth? What kind of media do we have here?

      from link that is below posts here,

      Pamela Geller writes:

      If these were real refugees, where are the women? Where are the elderly people? Where are the weak and the sick? It is increasingly clear that what I have said is true: this is not a refugee crisis. This is a hijrah, a migration to Islamize a new land.

      I hope that is too pessimistic, but this kind of thing doesn’t give one confidence:

      Four police officers and 11 asylum seekers were injured in a brawl in the town of Suhl in Thüringen Wednesday evening sparked by a dispute over the Koran.

    The only decent monetary and financial system that we had, that was thought of for at least two years before implementation, was the Bretton Woods system. Marshall was a very intelligent man; he thought about what to create, that’s why it lived for almost 40 years, twice the normal time. But after the Bretton Woods system we got Jamaican system with its floating currencies rates, and then went to Brussels and Washington system that actually revived “bimetallism” as a pair of Euro and Dollar.

    Both monetary systems are not made in the form of “good and for a long time”, but in the version “to escape from the current crisis.” This is a very unpleasant situation. We used to trust the financial elite, but it turned out that was for nothing. In general, they offered not the best solutions but those that were easier and faster to implement here and now despite the problems in the future. Note that Jamaican currency system untied fiat currency from the gold and also paved the way for the creation of derivatives economy. And the Brussels-Washington system is based entirely on pure derivatives.

    This means that it is constantly inflates and bursts “bubbles”. And there is no other way. And somewhere in 2008, the system has gone into the phase of old age, and begun to crumble.

    Now, after the decision of the Kremlin that Russia becomes the third center of emission that is not tied to the dollar but to the oil bonds.

    This means that very quickly there will be the fourth. And we have a transition from bimetallic to quadrometallic financial system. Dollar, euro, ruble, which will be the fourth – the question. We say conditionally, the dinar is. Most likely, it will be.
