Would fate permit it, the election of Hillary Clinton will be the supreme and perhaps terminal act in an Anything-Goes-And-Nothing-Matters society. Yet, even with the fabulous luck of running against a consummate political oaf, she struggles to get the upper hand, and she may land in the White House with the lowest voter turnout in modern history. And then her reward in office may be to dodge indictment for four years while the nation crumbles around her. This is the way the world ends: not with a bang or a whimper but with a cackle.

Imagine the scene following Hillary’s election. In order to salvage the last shred of its credibility, the Federal Reserve raises its overnight funds rate another quarter percent and crashes the last Potemkin semblance of a “recovering” economy, that is, the levitated stock markets. Tens of millions of retired individuals previously driven into them by zero interest rate policy are wiped out. Even more gravely, pension funds and insurance companies are destroyed, but not before their troubles trigger derivative contracts with big banks which then explode and expose the inability of counterparties to make good on their ends of the bet.

In a blind panic, the Federal Reserve reverses its policy in December, drops the Fed Funds interest rate back to 25 basis points and announces the grandest new round of “quantitative easing” (money printing) ever, while congress is coerced into voting for the greatest bailout of institutions the world has ever seen, along with a “one time” helicopter drop of a cool trillion dollars in the form of combined tax cuts and “shovel-ready infrastructure projects.” The media rejoices. The US Dollar tanks. Absolutely nobody wants US treasury bonds, bills, and notes. The pathetic remnant of the American middle class stares into the abyss. (If it looks hard enough, it sees the US government down there.)

We’re now living in the setup for this, treating the election shenanigans so far as just another sordid television entertainment. It’s more than that. It’s an engraved invitation to the worst crisis since the Civil War. The crisis may even feature events like a civil war with identity groups skirmishing around our already-ruined “flyover” cities just like the factions in Aleppo and Fallujah. Thank the “Progressive” Left for that. Believe me, history will blame them for chucking the idea of a unifying common culture onto the garbage barge.

And yes, for all our tribulations here in America, the rest of the world will be struggling with its own epic disorders. It remains to be seen whether they will lead to war as, say, the Chinese ruling party attempts to evade the crash of its own rickety banking system, and the inflamed millions of ruined “investors,” by starting a brawl with Japan over a few meaningless islands in the Pacific. Could happen. And, oh, is North Korea for real with its right out front nuclear bomb-and-missile program? What does the rest of the world plan to do about that?

You don’t even want to look at the Middle East. The grisly conflicts there of recent decades are just a prelude to what happens when the House of Saud loses its grip on the government. That will happen, and then the big question is whether Aramco can continue to function, or whether the critical parts of it end up damaged beyond repair as competing tribes fight over it. In any case, the world will begin to notice the salient fact of life in that part of the world: namely, that the Arabian desert, and much of the great band of arid territory on either side of it, cannot support the populations that mushroomed in the nutrient bath of the 20th century oil economy. And they won’t all be able to self-export to Europe either.

Speaking of that interesting region, around the same time Hillary sets up for intensive care in the third floor of the White House, the old order will be swept away across Europe. Farewell Merkel and Monsieur Hollandaise. Farewell to the squishy Left all over the place. Enter the hard-asses. You’d think if anything might unite that continent it might be the wish to defend secular freedom under the rule of law, but even that remains to be seen.

Yes, the world following 3Q 2016 is looking like one hot mess. If you remember anything, let it be this: the primary mission of your cohort of the human race is managing contraction. The world is getting wider and poorer again and the outcome everywhere will be determined by the success of people to manage their lives locally. The big things of this world — governments, corporations, institutions — are losing their traction and whatever we manage to rebuild will get done locally. In victory, Hillary may utterly cease to matter.

    So how do we prepare for this depressing state of affairs? Sell everything we own? For what, paper dollars? Stock up on guns ammunition, gold, and food?

      Personally besides your own preparations I think it is most important to live in a community which will work together. My community is already a tightly knit Transit Village which has its own power backup donated by one of our residents. We do not have Community Gardens but we do have a 9 hole golf course which might serve that function in the future as well as lots of public shared spaces.
      By allying together we are the only town on our Rail Line which actually increased our train stops against Gov Christie’s relentless cuts. Transition Towns are the way to go!

      I think the biggest shocker to the prepper community will be when they discover that gold will be worthless and useless in the collapse.

      Unless the government declares gold to be an alternative legal tender, it is a speculative commodity that’s worth no more than what people will (or can) pay for it.

      If you are surrounded by impoverished barbarians, they won’t have the precious cash be able to buy your gold or even barter for it. You will be at the mercy of the coin dealers and other flippers who will Jew you down to half of what the Big Boys will pay them for your gold.

      The Federal Reserve Note is backed by the barrel of a gun and all the lies that can be stuffed into the breech. It is Belphegor’s money and is the only thing that will work WTSHTF.

    Re: Hillary versus Trump, Yves Smith is fond of observing that the Clintons have always been lucky in their enemies. Their luck seems to be holding just fine.

    Jim writes: The crisis may even feature events like a civil war with identity groups skirmishing around our already-ruined “flyover” cities just like the factions in Aleppo and Fallujah. Thank the “Progressive” Left for that. Believe me, history will blame them for chucking the idea of a unifying common culture onto the garbage barge.

    Jim, this is bullshit. When it comes to dividing Americans against each other on the basis of colour or identity, the culture fight engaged in by the Left since the 1960s is as nothing versus the lasting economic and racial legacy of the pre-Civil War era.

    Ex-slaves were denied full participation in the life of the country, especially the economic life. Reconstruction was aborted in the face of white psychosexual fears of rampaging black men. Within the limits imposed by the post-Civil War amendment, Jim Crow re-created slavery in all but name and the KKK enforced it with terror and extrajudicial murder. The New Deal coalition that changed the economic rules of the game for ordinary Americans very pointedly excluded blacks, who were redlined out of the possibility of home ownership or other means to accumulate wealth. The narrative of racial difference that both was fostered by and enabled the enslavement of a vast population has never died, and it lives and breathes today.

    Against this backdrop, multiculturalism is as a piddling ripple measured against a vast wave of injustice that just rolls on and on. What JHK is criticizing the progressive Left for is its fight against this narrative and for the inclusion of Americans of colour in the mainstream life of the country. What history may blame the Left for is abandoning the white working class in pursuit of this goal, leaving them to be picked up by the likes of Trump or worse so they could merge with and/or allow themselves to be co-opted by self-interested liberalism epitomized by the Clintons.

      African American: a term coined by white liberal guilt-ridden privileged men to describe a black person. Because we can’t just say “black person.” We have to come up with a euphemism, one which assumes all black people come from Africa and that they’re all Americans. What are black people in Jamaica and Europe called?

      You’ve let your white guilt get the best of you.

      • shabbaranks August 29, 2016 at 10:30 am #

        You are correct.

      • Elrond Hubbard August 29, 2016 at 11:03 am #

        Incorrect. The framing of black versus white was invented as a means of separating impoverished people from European backgrounds from impoverished-and-enslaved people from African backgrounds. The operative part of ‘African-American’ is American — to remind Americans of today that they are, or should be, one people and not two.

        “African American: a term coined by white liberal guilt-ridden privileged men to describe a black person. ”

        Law,
        The term “African American” was coined by militant blacks in the late 60’s. They were termed “negro” as a quasi-legal term for the demographic by whites and others…in polite society.

            “In the 20th century, many black Americans shifted from colored to Negro to black and, most recently, to African-American, sometimes within one generation. “I’ve had to check several different boxes in my lifetime,” said Donna Brazile, former Democratic campaign manager in the 2000 presidential race. “In my birth certificate I’m identified as a Negro

          I have a good friend who gets angry when someone says African American. He says if you where not born on Africa you have zero right to claim it.
          He is white as a lily and has bright blue eyes and speaks afrikans in short he is south African and has already seen the future unfold in his home country and now it’s happening again in his adopted country same rhetoric same nonsense same leftwing bullcrap.

      Hmm I don’t think it is the progressive Left in France which is calling for Muslim women to take off their burkinas….
      Also I believe it is the Deep State which has imprisoned whistleblowers like Chelsea Manning, forced Edward Snowden to take asylum in Russia while Julian Assange is still forced to hide out in the Ecuadorian Embassy It is the nutcases from the American Taliban who are leading to tragically high maternity death rates as they stop women from making decisions about their own bodies and sexuality.
      Yes, I agree there are still too many on the progressive left in thrall to Identity politics and demanding politically correct speech be enforced on some campuses. But this tendency is beloved by the Corporate Media and plutocrats since it detracts from the real issues of the endless Wars, and the domination of the planet for pluocrats profits.

      Are you suggesting Blacks didn’t rampage after the Civil War against the defeated and disarmed Southern Whites? And that when the Southerners asked for justice from the Occupation Authorities, they were laugher to scorn by the Social Justice Warriors of the day? Well history indicates otherwise – as do current events both here and in South Africa and indeed any place Blacks live.

        The self-pitying psychodrama of white supremacists wailing about “rampaging blacks” runs from that day to this. Walter B sees street performers doing comedy in Central Park and instantly it’s Zyklon-B and the guillotine. All of you need to come down off the ledge.

        • DaveNYC August 29, 2016 at 4:42 pm #

          You are a supremely ignorant man. Like most white liberals, you are in deep denial about the aftermath of the Civil War, likely stemming from reading too much Zinn, and the reality of the explosion of black on black and black on white crime in cities across the country starting in the late 60’s. The statistics are irrefutable and easily accessed online.
          I’ve found most white progressives can’t or won’t look at the overwhelming body of statistical evidence because doing so takes the air out of your empty moral posturing.
          Please tell us why every majority black city in the U.S., from Baltimore to Newark to Detroit, is a dysfunctional mess ? How is that post Apartheid utopia working out in S. Africa ?
          What about Zimbabwe, or Uganda or Haiti ?
          Why can’t black people run large municipalities or modern nation states without huge spikes in violence and rape and general incompetence and corruption.
          Why is it when the white people leave black people to their own devices, which is what black nationalists and their white enablers demand, the entire infrastructure that whites built quickly stumbles into ruin ?
          I already know what your answers will be, because as a white liberal you are incapable of radical honesty when it comes to dealing with the collective differences between blacks and whites without resorting to mindless repetition of marxist gibberish gleaned from years soaking up agitprop in the Nation/Counterpunch/MotherJones/leftist periodical of your choice.
          If you were an intellectually honest individual you would sit down, as I did when I was a young working class leftish honkey, and read Thomas Sowell and W.E.B. Dubois and Shelby Steel and dig into the reams of free online resources about Reconstruction written by folks who actually lived through it, even works by evil Southrons as well as by former slaves.
          Dealing honestly with the reality of vastly higher higher per capita rates of violence and general dysfunction in the black community does not make one a racist or a white supremacist.
          It makes one fully human.
          Until white liberals drop the white guilt baggage and realize they can come to a conclusion about race in the U.S. that differs from Black activists and Marxist academics and still like black people
          and want to see them succeed we, as a country, will never get past the past and create a better society.
          Making endless excuses for black misbehavior and heaping ridicule and contempt on whites who don’t want to live near violence or chaotic schools only serves to make you feel better about yourself in the moment. It doesn’t actually SOLVE any problems.
          White progressives have been in charge of racial policies and their implementation for 60 years, and by almost every metric the black community is worse of now than before the civil rights movement.
          Time to try something else.

          • dannyboy August 29, 2016 at 5:23 pm #

            you in my hood, Mr NYC?

          • elysianfield August 29, 2016 at 6:43 pm #

            Well said, Dave.

          • Okay, okay. Its all Obama’s fault. Trying to take in the sweep of your analysis is difficult.

            Let me provide the counter argument that explains what we are seeing today.

            If you take young children, put them in unstable situations of constant stress, force them through a schooling system that brands them failures and worthless, what you end up is people that believe they have no stake in the social order. That explains why young black men aren’t properly socialized.

            EVEN IF your argument is that these people are “stupid”, the PURPOSE of socialization is the incorporation of “stupid” people into the social system. Otherwise, what you have is a system which merely punishes people for being stupid. I believe this IS our system of socialization and WHY our society has the problems it does. It caused them! It is not simply about race- as the punishment of “stupidity” is embraced across demographics.

            “Stupidity” I put in quotes because it is simply what everyone is coerced to believe- and it starts with rating and sorting children. This process is very well explained by John Holt, John Taylor Gatto, and others. Telling is the span of time that has elapsed since their criticisms and today. None of their ideas has breached the gap.

            We have a legacy of leaving unsolved problems to fester in this country and blaming the victims- here referring to classes of people, including children, of any race.

            The problem with your historical appropriation is that is explains absolutely nothing about our current social problems, except to illuminate the fact that our society has always had extreme problems and tends to let problems wind out to where they become huge tragedies and internal sustained conflict- that is something people should feel guilty about. It should shame people they’ve lived their whole lives without any idea these problems existed and got worse over their lives without any leadership or awareness to address the problem. Personal shame is an absolutely meaningless sentiment next to real people having real problems especially when we have no excuse in realizing those people’s problems are going to become our own because we all share a political economy.

            Ancient history is a bunch of stories that explains and predicts nothing. Kunstler’s futurism, as all futurism is highly amusing but not prescriptive of reality, and that is what makes it vital: because our negligence and wrong actions can impact our future. We can go forward with your theory of reality and end up in a future which matches the prescription, or we can try to apply better methods to try and end up at a different future. As it is, the status quo rules; its dominance predicts the future: and that future is unfolding- grading, sorting, and rating children and punishing people for stupidity. Whatever comes from that process will not be a result of any other theory of social organization. It will be more of the same, a cumulative worsening toward some dismal equilibrium.

        Daily Stormer is a vile site and an embarrassment to the “Alt Right,” which, I’ve recently found, contains some creative thinkers and writers. (See Counter-Currents). The Alt Right is correct that empowering women has been a disaster for white society. Instead of steering all girls into careers in high school, they should be taught that there is no greater calling than raising children in an intact family with a hard working husband. And all would be healthier if women started having babies in their 20’s, not 30’s or beyond.

          You people are trying to hijack the hot new meme. Nuthin doin’: it’s ours. We aren’t afraid to call a spade a spade. The races aren’t equal and Black are both dumb and ridiculous. Humor is a weapon you see – read your Alinsky.

          Many on CC read the Stormer and vice versa. There is no conflict when seen aright. They are intellectual and we are in attack mode via mockery. As Alinsky said, mockery is gold. In a couple of years the Stormer has gotten more coverage than decades of the Old Right. Now Amren and others are bathing in the light. Fine – but don’t pretend you did it.

          Your kind of self righteousness and virtue signaling is poison to the movement. You would turn Counter Currents into the National Review in no time if allowed. There are sits like that already.

    • Majella August 29, 2016 at 6:16 pm #

      Hi Elrond et al
      I have to recommend Joe Bageant’s seminal “Deer Hunting With Jesus”
      ( excerpt here – http://www.coldtype.net/Assets.07/Essays/0807.Joe.Book.pdf).

      Joe exposes the nastiness & cruelty of the feudal ‘lords’ of small-town America and the total lack of self-awareness of the working poor – the ‘rednecks’ as he defines them, who are not the ‘moocher’ class.

      The true ‘moocher’ class are the capitalists that drive wages down so low that the workforce are serfs, even less regarded than slaves (who at least had an economic exchange value) that their employees are reduced to poverty, stress, lack of access to medical care and reliance on the state welfare, much to their personal shame. Yet, they wouldn’t support a $15 minimum wage, because they believe the mythical bullshit of their masters, that this would be ‘bad for business’ and ‘cost jobs’. There’s no hope for the US when 40% of the population are ready to vote against their own best interests. the prognosticated COLLAPSE will be a welcome relief.

      We are the only currently existing nation on the planet to have conquered an indigenous people and taken their land, imported (kidnapped) and enslaved another race from another continent and then tried to normalize an ostensibly free and equal society around those legacies. It looks different in every part of the country, but like it or not that’s our common culture.

    The fall of the House of Saud is my favorite pin-pull moment for the cataclysm that we all know in our guts is coming.

    Consider the endless possiblities: ISIS gets a whole country with lots of oil, military hardware and first-rate adjacent enemies in Iran and Israel. Petro-dollar immediately evaporates causing a shit firestorm on bourses worldwide. China takes some property it has had its eyes on for a while as does Russia.

    Yzlamik over-exuberance literally explodes overnight on five continents and martial law comes to a your town.

    More fun than a barrel of monkeys.

    And maybe Barry O. will have to stay just a little while longer in the Black (Lives Matter) House until things get stabilized, denying Hillary here turn and gaining the love and admiration of oppressed minorities everywhere as the first dictator of the USSA.

      I’m betting on the financial collapse before the house of Saud falls, in fact, the crash may precipitate the fall.

      Lots of governments will come down when the global financial system implodes. The US, China, Germany, the UK, name a developed country. Russia may well be the only one that is left standing because they’ve had a recent collapse and they have plenty of fossil fuels to keep the lights on.

    Elron Hubbard says: What JHK is criticizing the progressive Left for is its fight against this narrative and for the inclusion of Americans of colour in the mainstream life of the country

    First of all Elron: don’t tell me what I mean. You refer to “the mainstream life of the country” — that’s what a common culture is, and that’s what the Left has militated to get rid of. –JHK

    • PostPeakRancher August 29, 2016 at 10:16 am #

      Jim, I would argue that the Left tried to broaden the common culture to include the historical experiences and subcultures of blacks, Hispanics and other minorities. The problem is that they did a crappy job of it through the vehicle of multiculturalism, combined with he fact that the Right fought them every step of the way.

      So decades later the Left is nothing but identity politics and the Right is full of seething racists who are angry and agitated over perceived slights and transgressions.

        • Elrond Hubbard August 29, 2016 at 11:21 am #

          Jim,

          PostPeakRancher is correct to say that “the Left tried to broaden the common culture to include the historical experiences and subcultures of blacks, Hispanics and other minorities.” That’s what multiculturalism means: not the denial of a common culture, but the expansion of the definition of that culture to include a wider variety of experiences.

          I wouldn’t try to ‘tell you what you mean’ — I hate it when people do that to me — but it’s a failure of vision to insist that the culture as you know it is the common culture, and require others to conform to it as a prerequisite to any further engagement. For example, you’ve taken African Americans to task for not conforming their speech and accents to your expectations of standard American speech. (In fact lots of them do precisely that, very consciously — it’s called ‘code switching’. Google it.) I’ve never known you to extend that requirement to any subgroup other than African Americans, though. (Think of the indecipherable Texas-lish spoken by the character Boomhauer on the TV show King of the Hill, for example.)

          Were you aware that multiculturalism was Invented in Canada? Maybe that why it works better in my home and native land than it seems to have worked anywhere else — we never got the point across to others that it’s about making the common culture as broad and various as we can manage. Yet, despite what various racists and bigots in this section will insist, Western values are not under threat in Canada.

          • Elrond Hubbard August 29, 2016 at 11:26 am #

            I want to add a final thought to what I said, about why Western values are not under threat in Canada. Immigrants to my country eagerly adopt Canadian values and identity. Why? Because we stretch our idea of ourselves to include them. We cut them in on the deal of being Canadian.

          • The right fostered cultural separatism, although it could be a capitalist phenomenon. The suburbs are a good example. Redlining was meant to separate haves and have nots as much as any racial program.

            About a decade ago I watched a round table of hoary old Heritage Foundation hacks discuss the defense of marriage. They all held the predictable line against gay marriage. There was one young guy among the suits who eloquently and patiently explained that if you excluded one class of people from participating, what you risk is the erosion of the institution you are trying to preserve. No one had a counterargument, and what followed was an slightly uncomfortable silence filled with the shifting of seats.

            Today multiculturalism exists alongside a sclerotic dominant culture which is economic and structural in nature, and not necessarily racist. This culture is for the corporate entities- the “bodies”, literally, the abstract yet real imperatives and prerogatives of economic activity.

            The economy doesn’t work for us; we work for the economy. It doesn’t bring us nice things, we sacrifice our assets and time to it. It is the perfect master and we are the perfect slaves.

            If the various multiply-extant organic cultures in fact go to war again, it will only be because the collective decision is made that this is what the economy desires.

            Standard American Speech is a must for modern office work. I’ve worked in insurance for 30 years. Insurance is one of the last professions you can step into with any university degree. They just want people who can read and write and think. Training is still almost exclusively on the job.

            It’s an amazingly egalitarian industry. Women, Blacks, Filipinos are well represented from paperwork to brokers to heads of offices and companies.

            The top determinants of how far you get, or the top level you get limited to, are the closeness to which you speak standard English and your competency at expressing yourself in writing and speaking.

            It is not hard to believe that this rule applies in all service industries that take place in office settings.

            And ever since I’ve been indulging in Netflix and watching TV series, which I never used to do, one sees that the same hierarchy of standard English applies in most TV shows–also without regard to subgroup membership.

            Standard English is our common culture and it is the mainstream. Speaking any other way is cutting yourself off from opportunities.

        Hold on a minute,…..all this hand wringing about what transpired in the past (you know, repent, repent, repent you evil White folks) is distracting from how narrowed have become options at this point. As JHK has just described prospect for survival at all for any part of humanity is getting more sketchy every moment. Managing to achieve just that even in the US — divided as we’ve become as a nation — offers dismal prospect. Wallowing in grievances about the past at this point is equivalent to the proverbial “deck chairs on the Titanic”. It just so happens (and that’s not just a figure of speech) that if, as a nation, we can come to terms with the gravity of the human predicament at this juncture in history we might be able to re-establish NATIONHOOD here enough to stabilize population to within sustainability of native resources. The North American continent is one of the few remaining places where pulling off such a feat remains feasible. But slight, mind you. It is worth noting that across history no nation has gained superiority of strength without exercising it to dominate for resources over others within reach — that’s human behavior.

Relative to humanity’s present predicament I speaking of the religious fervor of the Left today — removed from practical reality no less than has been historic religious faith.

            I replied to one of your comments above, but now I know why your so insufferably self righteous….
            You’re Canadian !!!!
            The Canadian model of state enforced multiculturalism “works”, for the time being, precisely because Canada never had slavery, although you wouldn’t know it judging by the sold out “white privilege” conferences the Ontario teachers association hold every year.
            Anglicized Canadians love wallowing in white guilt… it’s essentially a religious phenomenon, allowing post modern, deracinated whites a chance to feel holy and superior to the dirty working class ethnics who still hold onto their traditional faiths and cultural antagonisms.
            As far as your multicultural utopia is concerned, get back to me in 20 years when Vancouver and Toronto are overwhelmingly Asian/Muslim/African and “goodwhites” like you are a tiny, beleaguered minority with no voice in municipal elections.
            I say all this as someone with a Canadian wife who visits Toronto several times a year.
            Oh, and by the way, the homicide rate rises year after year in T.O., and more than 80% of the murders are being committed by black men, who make up 5% of the population of Ontario.
            Is slavery to blame for the increase ?

          • Elrond Hubbard August 29, 2016 at 7:27 pm #

            DaveNYC: “The Canadian model of state enforced multiculturalism ‘works”, for the time being, precisely because Canada never had slavery’.

            Untrue. Of course Canada had slavery. Upper Canada (present-day Ontario) abolished import of slaves in 1793, and declared all slaves free in 1819, although the practice remained legal until Britain’s Parliament abolished it throughout the Empire in 1834. Contrast this with the old South, which clung to the hateful institution for nearly another half century and was ultimately only defeated with violence.

            This goes to an important cultural difference that I’ve been highlighting. Canada has no tradition of “defence of white womanhood” or other such nonsense because the cult of patriarchy and aristocracy that ruled the antebellum South had no analog here. Even though my country did indeed have slavery, there’s no trumped-up tradition of blacks running wild when they were set free — because, guess what, when they were set free nobody ran wild. What was different in the South? The slaves were no different from the ones here: it was the psychodrama of the defeated slaveowners. In other words, when multiculturalism works, it’s because people are dealing with reality, not centuries-old racial anxieties.

            DaveNYC: “Oh, and by the way, the homicide rate rises year after year in T.O.”

            No it doesn’t. The highest number of total homicides in Toronto in recent years was 86 in 2007. Since then, annual homicide rates have decreased steadily to a low of 55 in 2015. This Wikipedia page cites statistics direct from the Toronto Police Service, so don’t talk out of your ass.

            DaveNYC: “… and more than 80% of the murders are being committed by black men, who make up 5% of the population of Ontario.”

            The Toronto Police Service doesn’t aggregate crime stats by race — just check out this Breitbart article mocking the Toronto Star over the issue. Therefore I call this number utter bullshit unless or until you cite me a source.

            Your move, DaveNYC.

          Right! It seems that many on this site today do not understand the necessities of human nature and where that inevitably leads; their utopias keep getting in the way. Oh,maybe the ones in Canada who are so wise and have such a noble society understand, but then they have always leeched off America in their splendid isolation.

            “… [T]he central fact of Canadian history [is] the rejection of the American Revolution. What won the American Revolution was the spirit of entrepreneur capitalism, an enthusiastic plundering of the natural resources of a continent and an unrestricted energy of manufacturing and exchanging them. In A Search for America… Grove speaks of there being two Americas, an ideal one that has something to do with the philosophy of Thoreau and the personality of Lincoln, and an actual one that made the narrator a parasitic salesman of superfluous goods and finally a hobo. At the end of the book he remarks in a footnote that his ideal America has been preserved better in Canada than in the United States.” — Northrop Frye

            I think of Canada as the United States if it had been free of the pernicious sickness of the slave culture of the Old South. We’re hardly perfect here, but we are free of the legacy of that nastiness which you’re still dealing with a century and a half later. Make of that what you want.

            I will respond in more detail later, suffice it to say you are incorrect.
            As far as the issue of slavery in Canada, you are being extremely disingenuous, as the bulk of slavery in Canada was carried out by aboriginals both before and after European settlement.

            DaveNYC: You can spare yourself any trouble regarding slavery that supposedly happened among aboriginal Canadians, as that clearly has nothing whatsoever to do with today’s society. That would amount to a finger-pointing red herring at best.

            At minimum I expect you to justify your claim that >80% of homicides in Toronto are committed by black men. Cite a primary source or a reputable media outlet.

      Is part German, Latin and part Greek
      Celtic and Arabic all in a heap,
      Well amended by the people in the street
      Choctaw gave us the word “okay”;
      “Vamose” is a word from Mexico way.
      And all of this is a hint I suspect of what comes next.
      I think that this whole world
      Soon mama my whole wide world
      Soon mama my whole world
      Soon gonna be gettin’ mixed up.
      Soon mama my whole world
      Soon mama my whole wide world
      Soon mama my whole world
      Soon gonna be gettin’ mixed up.
      I like Polish sausage, I like Spanish rice,
      And pizza pie is also nice
      Corn and beans from the Indians here
      Washed down by German beer
      Marco Polo traveled by camel and pony,
      He brought to Italy, the first macaroni
      And you and I as well as we’re able,
      We put it all on the table”

        Your comment makes me think of my grandmother, who immigrated here from Russia in 1921. She never learned to speak much English and couldn’t read or write. Yet she fit in to American society with no problems, and I always thought of her as a typical person who just spoke funny and happened to be born in Europe. No big deal. Quite a big difference from today’s immigrants, who apparently don’t want to assimilate. They’re encouraged to come here by those whose political interests don’t include assimilation.

So, she’s more eligible to run for POTUS than Ted Cruz. I suspect she’s probably a Hillary clone, but I’d still prefer her as president over the Chosen One. I forget the exact quote, but Huma allegedly said that Hillary can get easily confused. If Hillary does get elected, Huma will serve as Hillary’s brain.

    Hmmm well after just listening to the Kirk Bostrom podcast with his total misunderstanding of what Keynes actually proposed and praise for the Market Mageteer, Ludwig Von Mises, I can see where James has gone off the Rails. But then so have Paul Krugman and a plethora of mainstream conventional economists claiming that the Fed printing money and giving it to banksters is “Keynesianism”. Keynes actually proposed that only the GOVERNMENT and the PUBLIC SECTOR could resolve the Great Depression with its failure of demand. The EU Troika, the US and Japan for the most part have been doing just the opposite of public investment instead they have been funneling money by the trainloads from the public sector, starved for funds, into the private sector banks and stock market.
    Then the EU cannibalizes public assets like Greek public transit, ports and other public assets for purely private profits. Likewise with the US which now is 19th worst in the industrialized world for something as basic as electrical power as US infrastructure is stripmined and allowed to wither on the vine.
    What we need is just the opposite – the Private part of the legendary “Public-Private parnership” is that the private Corporations and billionaires pay their taxes. Which then goes to invest in the Green Transition we need in the age of Peak Oil and Climate Change of shared Green Public Transit, public schools, public health, public libraries and the 100th Anniversary of public parks open to all, shared by all, and conserving resources via sharing instead of decimating the planet for things like the Sultan of Brunei’s 5,000 private cars.
    It was interesting going to the Morristown’s Washington’s Headquarters, the first National Historical Park, that once again as with public schools, fire departments, the first public secular University, that the US was the first country in the world to establish public National Parks. The founders believed in the COMMONWEALTH development of shared public assets which would foster long-term economic growth and public welfare, not forests restricted to the King, or cannibalization of public assets for solely private gain.
    But in the propaganda we have been sold over and over by the plutocrats about “free markets” by Ludwig Von Mises and his ilk, we never hear about this aspect of US history.
    So like California, which raised taxes and has gone from being one of the US most indebted States to a surplus while also wisely investing in High Speed Rail, restoring transit to LA, solar and steps toward the Green Transition, the US will manage OK if we do the same…

      There is no green transition. Viable alternatives to fossil fuels do not exist. It is a hail mary that we will have them when fossil fuels decline. Right now there is not even research in progress that suggests a small chance of coming up with alternatives by the time they are needed.

      Without fossil fuels, forget about your transit, your pubic schools, your public health, public libraries, and so forth. For transit at best you are looking at donkey carts. For public health, a return to leeches and prayer. For public schools- mud huts without heating or air conditioning.

      I am all for massive research into fossil fuel alternatives. Even if that is pursued, I believe the odds are extremely small of finding alternatives that could lead to anything close to the amenities of modern life that the developed world has achieved through fossil fuels.

      No, the more likely scenario is not the green streetcars and health care, but rather the massive die off of most of a human population that exists solely because the temporary availability of millions of years worth of stored energy in the form of fossil fuels.

        The Dutch already provide 50% of the energy for their Electric Rail from renewable energy sources NOT oil. By 2018 the Dutch have concrete plans to provide 100% of the power for their Electric Rail from carefully dispersed renewable sources like windmills, solar and hydro from various countries. See

        http://www.railway-technology.com/features/featuremichel-kerkhof-of-eneco-discusses-the-dutch-rail-networks-renewable-revolution-4647194/

        So yes it can be done if we wisely use Grid Electric Rail instead of 300 million private automobiles…

        • dweebus August 30, 2016 at 10:12 am #

          Whilst I agree that wisely chosen infrastucture projects b would be a boon to both the economy and lowering GHGs, I would caution you against getting over-excited about the Dutch experience. They are a tiny country compared to us.

          I tend to agree with Jim that regular passenger rail needs to be restored before we go all gaga over all-electric high-speed.

          That type of a system only makes sense for urban public transit and short haul high speed runs between densely populated urban centers (Acela).

          Anyways, the diesel electric locomotive is super efficient. It is an electric train. The powerplant is just onboard as opposed to being a remote nuke/gas/coal plant or a giganticized wind farm or solar PV plantation. There is a huge question whether a 100% renewable grid is even possible. It looks unlikely.

          A better model might be the “high speed” Amtrak CHI-STL run. The old UP line was upgraded to allow th em to run at 110mph. (concrete ties and such). It is comfortable, conveniant, and cheap. Best of all, no incessant ATC delays at O’Hare and no long TSA lines.

Thinking people on the Right are sick unto death of the neo-cons, who have caused this country nothing but endless war and unpayable debt.

          Personally, I’m not a fan of the Anthem being sung before every game, be it pro, college, or high school. Surely many players, whites included, get tired of it. But the problem here is that Colin, as a Q-back, is a leader of the team. Sitting it out, while somewhat admirable to me, is very divisive and the last distraction a team needs. Remember the old saw, there is no “I” in team.

    Yes James the initial skirmishing of the next Civil War is well underway both in cites around the country like St. Louis, Baltimore, Milwaukee and so many other places. Heck, I even witnessed an interesting display of it just yesterday right in Central Pak NY, just across from the Bethesda Fountain. A sizeable crowd was formed around three brown guys in red shorts and athletic shoes who were doing “acrobatics” of one sort of another, talking it up to the crowd in some kind of “show” for their “entertainment”. My wife and daughters wandered closer to see better, while I stayed off to the side with my old friend who we were visiting. Talking mostly to each other but still paying sideways attention to the three, we started watching more closely after we heard them singling out people to join them in the center of the “stage” to be part of their act as a line of men over which they were planning to jump over or something like that. The cool part was that they not only chose a dozen white guys, but called them all out of the crowd as “he you, tall white guy” or hey little white guy” and then not only lined them up in a row, face to back down the line by physically manipulating them, but at the same time slapped their butts or wacked them in the arms and sides to move them into place. Of course they made quite a few demeaning commentaries on their appearance and such to the thrill of the crowd and when one of the white guys was asked to take a bow and only slightly nodded his head downward, one of the players reached behind this guy’s head and bobbed his head up and down with vigor, once again to the glee of those watching.

    It was at this point that my wife looked back at me as I just happened to be asking my friend if the civil next war had already started as I passed onto his island, and I told her that we were leaving immediately which we did. I guess in the city anything is ok and everything is fun and all, but to me, degrading other human beings in the fashion that these clowns were doing it was appalling. The scary part was that the stupid white people not only sat there like cows and took it, but that the crown loved it as much as the brown guys enjoyed their part in the whole sorry event.

    I was fortunate to not be around to watch the cheering crowds react to the next fallen head on the Paris guillotine or hear the laughter of those dropping the Zyklon-B canisters down the vent shafts in Berkenau but somehow after yesterday I have the uneasy feeling of history beginning to repeat itself and not for the better. Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends, we’re so glad you can attend, step inside, step inside….

        Buskers? You guys already have a cute little handle placed on such behavior? Wow, all I know that if I were to line up 12 brown guys and pull the same crap I would be call a racist and would probably have been killed on the spot to the cheers of the crowd. In this world most people can barely see what is right there in front of their face, much less than what is coming down the pike at them. In the Europe of the late 1930’s there were about 300k people that saw past their own nose end and got out of Dodge while over 6 million saw nothing and went about their business as usual. Perhaps this was a good example of Natural Selection, right?

    Kunstler is right. I’ve heard social workers on the front lines of dealing with immigrants who have not a clue and resist getting one. The social workers try to help. Incomprehension and stout opposition is what the social worker faces. And the social worker sez why do we encourage this?

    And these same immigrants put up every roadblock imaginable in front of their offspring. The old country ways are what they know and what they intend to impart with all their might, never mind how fucked up the whole thing is.

    Mother can’t go to the hospital because male technicians might see her or touch her, you know, by taking blood samples, sister can’t get school past age sixteen (and even that necessitates threats by school officials) because why does a girl need an education anyway? And, needless to say, she can’t choose her own husband.

    Family HONOR is at stake and if you think I’m just talking about Muslims you’d be wrong. There’s a panoply of rock-headed peasant cultures out there that don’t get modernity, REFUSE to get it and scoff at education and knowledge for anybody, not just girls. It goes without saying that university is out of the question and it has nothing to do with cost. Cannot have minds polluted with notions of freedom from the mire of the old country. This is what comes of identity politics.

    One of the common element in these cultures is tyranny. Not just the tyranny of the wider political order but also the tyranny of father and husband and son and brother. And the tyranny of clan and tribe. And so let’s not forget “community leaders”.

    So if you think tyranny applies to constraining just wife and daughter and sister, you’d be wrong about that too. In any case, the oppressed support the system of oppression, it gives them a place, a sense of identity. Incredibly, mothers and grandmothers deliver their girls to the old crone with a knife. Why? This is the way things are done.

    Then again, if the goal is a populace divided so as to be more easily ruled and exploited, then the way there is “multi-culturalism”. Of course with much celebration from useful and willing idiots who put the shackles on themselves and hand the keys to the jailers.

    But as Kunstler sez, this whole thing can get away from the social engineers and end with armed ethnic militias. No shortage of guns after all.

    The Principals Committee

    It’s been roughly three months since Hillary Clinton has illegally seized power over the US Presidency using a very little known to general public, but nevertheless very real National Security mechanism the Principals Committee

    From http://www.virginia.edu/cnsl/pdf/national-security-policy-process-2011.pdf

    The most senior interagency group is the Principals Committee (NSC/PC).31 The PC for all practical purposes is the membership of the NSC without the President and Vice President. The PC is called into session and chaired by the National Security Advisor. In addition to the National Security Advisor, the other principal members of the PC are the Secretaries of State, Defense, Treasury, Homeland Security, and Energy, the National Security Advisor, the Attorney General, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Representative of the United States of America to the United Nations, the Chief of Staff to the President, the Director of National Intelligence, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

    According to Webster Tarpley, this mechanism has been used for brief periods of time during final years of Bush Presidency – in 2007 http://tarpley.net/2008/07/20/us-policy-shift-on-iran-iraq-again-shows-brzezinski-rules-in-washington/ and in 2011 during Obama presidency.

    Most obvious expression of this fact have been:

    1. Unexpected endorsement by B. Obama of H. Clinton on June 9 this year
    2. Refusal by the FBI director Comey to bring charges against H. Clinton following the coup d’etat

    The readers of this blog should also remember a sharp increase in DOD attacks on the site right around the time of the coup.

They won’t be solved by segregation or integration. They will only be solved by acceptance of our differences and a shared desire to live together peacefully. I’m sure there are folks here who will read this and say, “black people, white people, Asians, and Hispanics cannot live together; or, if they do they must adopt a shared common culture; that diverse cultures cannot co-exist. But the truth is we have no choice. We have to find a way. I think we will.

    Jim, the Left can be blamed for many things, but both Right and Left have played identity politics. Remember Willie Horton?

    But broadly we agree. I have long waited for the epic fall of the House of Saud. Even with a young King, nothing (as they said in that epic start to “The Road Warrior”) could stem the avalanche.

    I won’t post a link here as you dislike them, but Google “Road Warrior Introduction.” That film, unlike the recent Fury Road, really captures the chaos that I think would follow the end of Saudi Arabia. No one I know casually can imagine their lives without endless growth. Around here the weary folks are more excited by the new Wegman’s Supermarkets than the election. That this newest and last-flowering of sprawl might be “it” never occurs to anyone I know.

    That, not some financial crisis, may well be the defining event for President Clinton. The dogs of war (another Mad Max ref) are loose in Yemen, right next to The Kingdom. And ISIS is now there among the warring Shiites and Sunnis.

    “There’s a panoply of rock-headed peasant cultures out there that don’t get modernity, REFUSE to get it and scoff at education and knowledge for anybody…” –Volodya

    How ironic!

    Modernity IS multicultural, and you reject it.

    Education is important, and you ridicule it.

    You regularly lampoon “experts” and pointy-headed leftist intellectuals. … You say education is not the same as intelligence … in your folksy Eric Hoffer “True Believer” worldview you denigrate others and prevent progress.

    You are right, Volodya, about father/ husband/ son/ brother. Patriarchy is harmful to the global advancement of women.

    • CrusherMuldoon August 29, 2016 at 2:06 pm #

      Yes but the point is that immigrants to America are perpetuating patriarchy because the American “Modernity”culture encourages them to hang on to their old world values instead of integrating with ANY other culture, especial the multi-culture embraced by American Modernists.

      • wpa_ccc August 29, 2016 at 2:26 pm #

        Just the opposite. Multiculturalism preaches tolerance of others. American Islam is not like Islam in other parts of the world. Islam is not homogeneous. Here is a specific example from an American Muslim woman:

        “Hina Abbasi of Paramus, [New Jersey] said the burkini ban was akin to restrictive laws in other countries, like Saudi Arabia, where women are forced to cover.

        “The choice of what to wear or not wear has been stripped from individual women and placed in the hands of a male-dominated bureaucracy,” Abbasi said.

        She said she understood that France was “grieving” in the wake of the recent terror attacks. “But that does not justify this kind of war against visible Islam,” Abbasi said.

        When she has worn her burkini in New Jersey, she has gotten “curious or confused glances,” she said, but has never faced overt discrimination. “Luckily, I live in a very diverse part of America,” Abbasi said.

        Luckily, she lives in MULTICULTURAL AMERICA where religious freedom is a given.

            “when the enraged fundamentalist father comes to cut your throat” –Crusher

            More anti-Muslim stereotypes. We have over 3 million Muslims in America. We just resettled thousands of Syrian refugees in America. Why are we reading about millions of throat cuttings?

            The fathers are changing, too, Crusher. That is why there are no throat cuttings going on daily here. Muslim women are not stupid. They know they have the power in America. Huma Abedin just decided to divorce.

            How many Muslim families do you know anyway? Muslim Americans have the freedom to choose what parts of their culture to preserve, but women have more freedom and power in America because America is built upon the value of religious freedom.

            “Our Muslim family is as American as yours. And there is a real beauty to being Muslim here. The opportunities we have, the protection from harm and the economic stability are all far superior to the majority of Muslim countries. There, the family you are born into and who you know dictates your life, no matter how smart or hardworking you are. Although Islam preaches advancement through merit, the U.S. is the only country in which this ideal can be achieved. My daughter may not be able to drive in Saudi Arabia, but she could become president of the U.S.

            Inshallah (a word used by Muslims meaning “God willing”), my kids will grow up proud of our heritage. Our ancestors translated Greek texts when Europe was in the Dark Ages. They built the Taj Mahal, and gave us the lead singer of Queen. I hope they’ll feel uniquely American because they are Muslim. Or at least say no to pork.”

          These Muslims you are so proud of would NOT have embraced, or even known of, civilized behavior if there wasn’t a U.S.A. to emigrate to! Would a Shia enjoy the same toleration in Saudi Arabia??? Not at all.

          The true test of Islam is to see how it acts without any resistance and on home turf. Its barbaric Id comes out in the open and persecutes all the soft-headed fools who took pity upon it.

          Islam only respects brutal and unfair repulsion. The same Sword Verses that make up the critical core of Islam must be used against them. They only deserve the same mercy they show us, no more and no less.

        Correct Crusher.

        Immigrants are perpetuating the tyranny of patriarchy but tyranny in general. This is what you get with multi-culturalism.

        There’s different ways for people to interact and behave. One way is to respect individual freedom. That is to NOT inflict tyranny.

        Another way is to NOT respect individual freedom. That’s what you see with a lot of old-world and especially peasant cultures and their tyrannical/authoritarian ways.

        It’s fascinating that women that are and were victims of authoritarian patriarchy actually come out in its defense. And it’s not just men inflicting cruelty but women also, for example, on daughters and daughters in law.

        • Janos Skorenzy August 29, 2016 at 2:43 pm #

          Feminism was apparently a giant shit test that Western Men have failed. Else why do women support the mass immigration of Muslim primitives into their midst? Apparently they want to be put in their place. After the mass rape of New Year’s Eve, women came out and again told the immigrants how glad they were that they were here.

          People are stating to rethink letting women have the right to vote. Politically, it’s impossible but intellectually it’s a no brainer: it needs to be revoked.

          • wpa_ccc August 29, 2016 at 2:59 pm #

            Muslims in multicultural America are changed. Their perspectives necessarily broaden. Women regain the status that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized were women’s unalienable rights.

            You, Janos, fail to rise to the standard of respect for women set by Islam. In Islam, men are commanded to treat women with respect and kindness. “Live with them [your wives] in kindness; even if you dislike them, perhaps you dislike something in which Allah has placed much good” (4:19).

            In fact, in Surah Baqara the importance of kindness is emphasized with direct reference to marriages where conflict has arisen: “Then keep them in kindness or part from them in kindness” (2:229).

            The Prophet left no room for doubt as to how men should treat women, saying, “The most perfect of believers in belief is the best of them in character. The best of you are those who are the best to their women” (Tirmidhi 1/217).

            Both Janos and radical Islamists are going against traditional Islam as revealed by Allah.

            Countries that do not respect women’s rights are not Islamic.

            “We [of Muslims for Progressive Values] affirm that:

            Assaults on women and young girls, especially domestic violence, acid attacks, honor killings, FGM and forced marriage that have become a growing problem in some Muslim countries, are barbaric, inhumane and completely contrary to Islamic teachings.

            Islam never condones humiliation, beatings, mutilation, or outright murder, especially not as a means to exert one’s own authority, or to enforce one’s own opinions upon other people.

            Rather Islam teaches us to approach differences in opinion with tolerance and forbearance, saying even to the clear disbeliever, “To you your way, and to me mine” (109:6) and “There shall be no compulsion in religion” (2:229).

            Only when women and girls can live with dignity, in safety, not fearing bodily harm from family members, and with freedom of conscience as the Qur’an demands, can a country rightfully call itself “Islamic.”

      “10,000 in, 55,000 to come…”

      It is not enough. We should accept 550,000 Syrian refugees, according to the Pottery Barn rule. George W. Bush broke the region and caused the instability that created ISIL.

    About multi-culturalism again: it’s fascinating that the people that purport to be all about “facts and evidence” disregard such an abundance of “facts and evidence”.

    After the Turkish Empire collapsed, the various victorious powers (plus the Russians) got to work putting in straight line borders in newly created successor states to the former Ottoman domain.

    Now, of course, this has come in for a lot of scorn from fashionable academics who ask (with a great show of bewilderment) how on earth could these map-makers and line-drawers expect that people of such diversity get along together in these new nations?

    Shouldn’t sect and religion and ethnicity have been considered in the forming of the new countries? Is it reasonable to ask that Sunni get along with Shia in a common polity? Is it any more reasonable that Palestinian acquiesce to sharing space with Jew?

    It’s impossible they say. IMPOSSIBLE.

    Never mind that one of the benefits of this obsessive and admittedly self-interested line-drawing was to forestall a great deal of bloodshed as the locals drew the lines themselves (which we’re seeing now after a century-long delay).

    So, according to the mighty academics and readers of history and critics of all things Western, multi-culturalism is an impossible ideal. It could not possibly work and the proof is the wars we see today in the Middle East. People of diverse backgrounds could not and should not have been expected to get along and share a common country. Expecting such a thing is to betray either a deep ignorance of human nature or alternatively, a disregard for local desires to not have to deal with people not of their ilk. In this the mighty academics are right. For once. So Iraq is torn asunder, similarly Syria and Libya. Multi-culturalism is a fool’s errand.

      “multi-culturalism is an impossible ideal”

      Oh, really? Of the world’s three top nuclear superpowers, India and the United States are multicultural giants. Diversity is strength.

      • Elrond Hubbard August 29, 2016 at 4:00 pm #

        I would say rather, there is strength in diversity provided you accept diversity as a value. There are many who reject diversity as a value: some of them in the Middle East, and others right here in this very comments section. Trust breeds trust, hate breeds hate. I dare to choose trust in no small part because I know what the rewards are and am loath to give them up.

        • Janos Skorenzy August 29, 2016 at 4:16 pm #

          And the more diverse and alien the better, right? Of course Somalis fit right in with Swedes – it just depends on what you mean “fit in”. The Government passed a resolution a few years ago: Swedes are just another ethnic group in Sweden now. And that’s the whole point: Whites can have nothing, absolutely nothing. Your morality is just retribution. Throwing your brothers under the multicult bus makes you feel good about yourself – and gets you points in the moral display pageant. And even more important – one of the Black/Brown gods might even smile at you or pat your nappy head.

          • wpa_ccc August 29, 2016 at 4:40 pm #

            Janos, you are really a drama queen. There are only 40,000 Somalis in Sweden, 0.63% of the Swedish population (2015). And Sweden is learning from the Africans. They are learning how entrepreneurial the Somalis are.

            “Jamal Hashi stood outside the sprawling Karmel Square mall in Minneapolis, surrounded by visitors from Sweden.

            They had traveled thousands of miles to learn how he went from struggling refugee to successful restaurateur.

            How he opened one restaurant, then another.

            How he came up with the perfect recipe to introduce Somalia to the Minnesota State Fair: camel-on-a-stick.

            How, the Swedes wondered, can they get in on this?

            The commercial success of Minnesota’s enterprising Somali community has been noticed in Sweden, which has its own burgeoning Somali population. A delegation of 24 Swedish government and academic officials are in town all week to try to unlock the secrets behind that success and carry them back home.

            “It’s in our DNA to be entrepreneurial people,” said Osman Sahardeed, a native of Somalia who runs a business doing translation. “Since the seventh century, Somalis were dealing with the outside world. They know how to market their skills.”

            The Swedes’ whirlwind tour is hosted by the African Development Center of Minnesota, a nonprofit entity that offers lending and technical help to refugees to start their own businesses.

            Seeds of their historic visit were first planted in 2005 when a Swedish professor named Benny Carlson traveled to Minnesota and was struck by the sheer number of booming markets and malls run by Somali-Americans in the Twin Cities.

            He vowed to return with a team of government officials to use Minnesota as an example of what can be done in Sweden.”

          • Janos Skorenzy August 29, 2016 at 5:08 pm #

            How much of this in evident in Somali itself, one wonders. Perhaps none of it? That would be strange, eh – since they are so amazing and shit.

            40,000 in Sweden? Ridiculous. It’s hundred of thousands at least.

          • Elrond Hubbard August 29, 2016 at 6:33 pm #

            As I’ve said before, when Janos follows up to a post of mine with a rhetorical question ending in “right?”, the rest of what he types should be disregarded as an utter misrepresentation of my views. That is effectively axiomatic.

So far, the Dancing Fairies of the Arts Dept and the SJW’s in Sociology are ahead! They haven’t even shaken down the Admin and Trustees yet!

      To the real wpa, just go straight to Admin, before the fairies and SJW’s get there and shake them down for contributions! They wouldn’t dare refuse! Blackmail the Trustees while you’re at it. College Admin and Trustees are all cowards and they’ll pony up.

    The idea that diversity is a strength is a Jewish lie. Diversity is always one of the causes of the collapse of previous nations and empires. The United States is no different.

    And I’m not even white! But everywhere I go in the United States now, I see alienated individuals and groups who have nothing in common with each other and don’t even speak a common language, let alone share anything like ethnicity, religion, political beliefs, etc.

    Where will you go once you are finished with us, Jews? You are running out of options. Israel can’t fit you all and the Arab Muslims don’t seem to thrilled to have you there.

Besides the intangibles that Elrond values: revenge, schadenfreude, a feeling of salvation, the acute pleasure of virtue signaling or being SEEN as one of the saved, there are more TANGIBLE benefits as well. There’s lots of jobs and money in the Diversity industry. Ask Elrond.

        • wpa_ccc August 29, 2016 at 5:11 pm #

          For the United States as a whole, immigrants’ share of total output was about 14.7 percent over 2009–2011. Note that this is actually larger than immigrants’ 13 percent share of the population.

          In the United States as a whole, there are almost as many immigrants in white-collar jobs (46 percent) as in all other occupations combined. In some states, more than half are in white-collar jobs. The perception that nearly all immigrants work in low-wage jobs is clearly inaccurate.

      There has never been a nation not founded upon blood or land or language or religion, but on founding ideals that all cultures and races support, so your historical precedent does not work. As Obama says, we are struggling generation after generation to form a more perfect union. We are getting there. Further than non-diverse nations.

    I see alienated individuals and groups who have nothing in common with each other and don’t even speak a common language, let alone share anything like ethnicity, religion, political beliefs, etc.

    This is the fundamental error of Pat Buchanan and others who believe that a nation must have a common language, ethnicity, religion, etc.

    If you believe that, then you don’t understand that America is a nation founded on five ideals: Democracy, Rights, Liberty, Opportunity, and Equality.

    Those ideals are shared by Americans of all races, all languages, all religions who have come here, sacrificed, built this nation and made it great. American is great precisely because it is multicultural, multiracial, interfaith… The UNITED States of America.

      Besides, IQ scores are meaningless:

      “After conducting the largest ever study of intelligence, researchers have found that far from indicating how clever you are, IQ testing is actually rather ‘meaningless’.
      In a bid to investigate the value of IQ, scientists asked more than 100,000 participants to complete 12 tests that required planning, reasoning, memory and attention.

      They also filled in a survey on their background.
      They discovered that far from being down to one single factor, what is commonly regarded as intelligence is influenced by three different elements – short-term memory, reasoning, and verbal ability.
      But being good at one of these factors does not mean you are going to be equally gifted at the other two.”

      “Scientists from Canada’s Western University in Ontario, also scanned some of the participants’ brains while they undertook the tests.

      They found that different parts of the brain were activated when they were tested on each of the three factors.
      Traditional IQ tests are ‘too simplistic’, according to the research, which found that what makes someone intelligent is too complex to boil down to a single exam.”

          The man-made universe (matrix) is what matters to us. Not the natural universe that exists independently of Man.

          The man-made matrix we live under features time horizons, which draw ever closer and leave us with less and less time to make correction. For example, we’ve all heard the popular bromides that assert Wall Street’s wisdom over the past century and that we can ignore the downsides because the overall trendline has been up. Problem is that most people have a time horizon of a year or two. The gains must either come through in that year or, at least, stay intact. People can be wiped out in that time, even though the “trend” has been up for the past century.

          In that context, JHK is correct.

    The population bottleneck draws nearer every day. Denial of this truth forces mind into patterns of fictitious being. Such as group-think, which I saw upclose Saturday night at the local Historic Brick Church, which needs work on the steeple. A worthy and beautiful building among the majestic maples. To draw a crowd of $15 donations, a discussion on the craziness of this election, between journalists from NYC, married, one a homegirl who wrote “Dark Money”, was offered.

    And a potluck. I had a beer and went outside to enjoy the buzz. There were 3 other greens there, but the vibe inside was egregious. I stayed for the talk.

    Seems Hillary is one of us, a capable “experienced” person.

    I didn’t bother to ask any questions, at the end.

    Had the format permitted statements, I would have reminded the group how far we are into the Anthropocene, and how that makes the population bottleneck more narrow, and more near. I reminded myself rather, how small, and brief, that “I” is, relative to the infinite, eternal, living, sentient, conscious universe. That we are on the outside edge of the Milky Way galaxy, and when, eventually, we do all depart, we will not be missed.

      – Demographers estimate that at least 20 billion people lived on earth between the years 8000 B.C. and 0 A.D. (That’s right, the idea that half of all people who have ever lived are alive currently is a myth!

    I hate this multiculturalism crap. Before I am painted as a bigot, I am all for families or groups celebrating their ethnic or national backgrounds (St. Patrick’s Day, celebrating Ramadan, whatever), but when it comes to daily life and adherence to a set of common values as they apply to governance and a decent and polite national life, it seems to me it is impossible to include every perspective. There has to be a common language, a common belief in the rule of secular law, and common goals. I believe the lack of these things sow the seeds for national disintegration, or at least internal strife.

    For example, if you hold beliefs that you should kill people who do not buy into your particular religious beliefs, I think that is a hindrance to governance and a decent and polite national life.

      “if you hold beliefs that you should kill people” –pentrus

      Get a clue, pentrus. 57% of our discretionary federal budget goes to the military. The military fundamentally believes you should kill people. We train our young in efficient ways of killing people and destroying property. We spend half our national budget to make sure people believe in the necessity of killing people. We brainwash them, to make sure people will follow orders, so that killing people happens.

    Jim, when you wrote, “Thank the “Progressive” Left for that.”, what exactly were you referring to? And since the Left hasn’t been in power in the U.S.A. since maybe JFK, how can they be “thanked” for anything?

    • WPA CCC August 29, 2016 at 5:36 pm #

      Obama has brought universal healthcare, gay and transgendered rights, women in the fighting ranks of our armed forces, and ended imperialistic wars and their island torture chambers. That is awfully progressive after 8 years of Bush.

      • wpa_ccc August 29, 2016 at 5:47 pm #

        Tree Hugger is right that the Left hasn’t been in power in the U.S.A. since maybe JFK, or maybe FDR. Obama has been fought from the first day of his presidency by Republicans who met and stated “We want him to fail.” Trump demanded to see his birth certificate.

        Obama’s accomplishments were the result of Obama being more intelligent than Congress, because Obama and the Left have not had the power these last eight years. It has been eight years of Republican obstruction, from Jan. 20, 2009 until today.

          The REAL Left (the FDR New Dealers) haven’t been in power since 1968. What power they did have afterwards was eroded by the Jewish NEW LEFT over the following 12 years as they paved the way for rise of Reaganomics.

          Obama is actually the fulfillment of what Reaganomics started. The cancer has run its course and now the U.S. is ready for History’s Hospice. What better psycho-nurse to glare and cackle at us than Hillary?

    Sentimentalism of the Alligators

    Crocodiles weep when eating people

    Scientists experimentally proved that crocodiles weep when eating its victim.

    How sentimental are these crocodiles – choke up on unfortunate bather and pour over it with tears of pity. In fact, crocodiles pragmatic and devoid of guilt, and through the tears, they are using special glands deduce excess salts from predatory organism.

      There you go again, wpa. “Barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen” is such a tired and banal screed. Only Muslims literally believe in that.

      Modern American women of the 1950’s enjoyed nice fashions, birth control, “Space Age” home appliances, AND knew the value of being feminine in a society that respected segregation of gender roles. Men were Men and Women were Women. The latter enjoying the benefits of both tradition and modernity.

      Modern American women of the 1950’s actually had something to offer a Man to take the trouble to woo and marry her! Skip forward some 60 years later, today’s 3rd wave feminist women have ZERO social value and have NOTHING to offer. It is economic suicide for a Man of means to marry a woman today.

      Women have long ago lost the art of raising children because the women, themselves, are polluted by the mass anomie around them. America is Satan’s Masterpiece and that truth is all too evident in the orchestrated demolition of social norms, gender roles, marriage, and the nuclear family.

      Today’s young women are fit only to become bitter and isolated Cat Ladies… that is, if they survive the trendy sport of mudsharking. If the West is going to commit suicide, then let History have clear evidence of the motive.

    Hillary will be left to write the last page on the ship’s logbook and it will be Hillary who gets the blame… and rightly so. She must close the final chapter in the Book that she and Slick Willie started in 1992 (includes lengthy Preface of her days at Rose Law Firm and being fired for being a pathological Liar).

    It must be Hillary’s name that History’s Salvage Co. will recover from the ruins a century from now.

    The quarter point rise in the Fed Funds rate is meaningless as a practical matter because the Fed Funds market, the overnight inter bank lending market barely exists and to the extent it is used it’s a sort of joke.

    Another rise like last Decembers could spark a drop in the market. Not because ‘investors’ are making strategic decision but just because the players need some downside action.

    Everyone needs that downside especially the Fed. They can use a drop of over 10% as the reason for more QE. Yellen at Jackson Hole mentioned an internal Fed paper suggesting two or four trillion will be needed next crisis. Not that a stock market correction is a crisis but the crisis is out of sight and so more QE will come.

    • wpa_ccc August 29, 2016 at 9:47 pm #

        Greenspan felt exactly the same way (low interest rates forever) till it happened.

        QE is as worthless as tits on a boar hog when it comes to salvaging the economy. We are now in Japanese economic waters. All QE does is direct gagillions of fiat dollars to the banks, who then sit on them to prop up balance sheets, or direct them into speculation which does nothing whatsoever to boost jobs and wages, which is what we desperately need.

        So for the average Joe, it is meaningless. He still ain’t had an effective raise since 1980. College, healthcare, housing, transport, groceries, utilities, the cost of life keeps going up. The fact that JP Morgan is thriving does nothing for him., and he is pissed.

        The money printed for QE has no velocity in the real economy. It does not circulate. It just boosts the DOW. It is a racket.

    “The main architect of Washington’s plan to rule the world has abandoned the scheme and called for the forging of ties with Russia and China. While Zbigniew Brzezinski’s article in The American Interest titled “Towards a Global Realignment” has largely been ignored by the media, it shows that powerful members of the policymaking establishment no longer believe that Washington will prevail in its quest to extent US hegemony across the Middle East and Asia. Brzezinski, who was the main proponent of this idea and who drew up the blueprint for imperial expansion in his 1997 book The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives, has done an about-face and called for a dramatic revising of the strategy. ”

      Interesting article in the AI, but I think that his course reversal may have been somewhat exaggerated, even by himself. The following is from “The Grand Chessboard”:

      “The stability of Eurasia’s geopolitical pluralism, precluding the appearance of a single dominant power, would be enhanced by the eventual emergence, perhaps sometime early in the next century”, (21st), “of a Trans Eurasian Security System (TESS).

      Such a transcontinental security agreement should embrace an expanded NATO – connected by a cooperative charter with Russia – and China as well as Japan. … But to get there, NATO must first expand, while engaging Russia in a larger regional framework of security cooperation.”

    Update:

    The Ithaca College student stabbed to death at Cornell was Anthony Nazaire from Brooklyn, NY. His friend Raheem Williams was also stabbed, but is recovering. What motivated the attack was that Naziare was on the dance floor ‘getting down’ to the beat of Bronx rapper ‘A Boogie with a Hoodie’, when he bumped into another dancer. Bad mistake. Even tho he apologized he was stabbed many times.

      Yes. It needs to be said if the stabber is a Christian.

      If so, do you support a ban on allowing Christians into the country to prevent these kinds of attacks, until “we figure out what the hell is going on” to quote Trump?

    Brzezinski repents after millions have died:

    “The purpose of his first thesis in the 1990’s was designed to show what the US had to do to maintain its global hegemony. But now, Brzezinski is admitting that the US failed to maintain its dominance. Russia and China have risen steadily, and the resistance they both felt from the US State Department has only served to push the two former enemies together. First they became economic partners, and now they are widening their friendship as military allies.

    The US is stronger than either Russia or China separately, but a China-Russian alliance creates an entirely new superpower that demands US cooperation, not confrontation. Because “The United States… is no longer the globally imperial power,” Brzezinski sees “a new global realignment” coming.

    Brzezinski fails to tell his readers that US policy itself, as revealed by General Wesley Clark, has been to destabilize the Mideast by the “supporting democracy,” that is, funding and instigating the so-called “Arab Spring” movements that overthrow “dictators.” US policy has not supported stability at all, but has attempted to weaken the Mideast nations. It is the height of hypocrisy to make it look like the US has actually wanted stability and global security.”

    “Vicente Ferrer was an inspired Dominican orator who operated around Valencia at the end of the fourteenth century. His preaching was so persuasive that he was credited with the conversion of thousands in lands as remote as Ireland and Italy. He was especially famed for his ability to convince Jews of their error and was responsible for converting many. In 1405 he came to Toledo to deliver a series of sermons against the Jews, which caused one historian to describe him as “the bloodthirsty enemy of the Jews, intolerant and vehement, with an oratorical style both vibrant and tempestuous and a destructive eloquence without par.” Following one inflamed sermon, his audience became so infuriated with the obstinacy of Toledo’s Jews who refused to heed the words of Ferrer that they swarmed out of church, ran through the streets gathering a mob and burst into the Moorish building which I have been describing. It was then operating as a synagogue, from which the mob hauled all Jews they could find, dragged them to the promenade overlooking the river, cut their throats and threw them onto the rocks below. In one tremendous spasm the Jews of Toledo were practically eliminated, and no sooner were they gone than their synagogue was consecrated a church, and so it remains to this day.”

      There was probably more to it – like them killing Christian children for their rituals. This not a myth btw. A few years ago, Dr Toaf, a Jew and one of the foremost experts on medieval Judaism, actually found the liturgy of the ritual – something the Catholic prosecutors never found. Being a Jew himself, he may well had access to private libraries that would have been closed to others. He wrote a book about it and then recalled from publishing due to death threats.

      Wiki seems to disagree with you [and you misspelled his name],

      Ariel Toaff (born 1942) is a professor of Medieval and Renaissance History at Bar Ilan University in Israel, whose work has focused on Jews and their history in Italy.

      He came to international prominence with the 2007 publication of the first edition of his controversial book Pasque Di Sangue (Passovers of Blood), in which he claimed historical basis[1] for ritual use of human blood, obtained by murder.
      The claim was criticized as lending support to blood libel, an allegation that modern historians have described as unsupported by facts and which the Catholic Church has similarly repudiated since the 13th century.[2][3]

      Toaff wrote that these critics had misunderstood his book, which argued that the ritual use of small quantities of dried blood in magical curses had been a real practice among medieval “Ashkenazi extremists”, but that this was unrelated to the accusation of ritual murder which was the central claim of blood libel.[4]

      • Janos Skorenzy August 30, 2016 at 1:22 pm #

        And who owns Wikipedia? Dr Toaff backed off and cucked out. People want to live. Given what he was up against, it’s forgivable.

    the abolitionist become Gay Multiculturalist , and the Slave Owner become a Nazi ,

    are so much alike as to be really hard to tell apart.

    They both want the same thing ; the Big Empire.

    Yes, you are sinking under the weight of big business, big agriculture, too-big-to-fail-banking —

    AND THE BIG EMPIRE.

    The Big Empire was a bad idea.

    Whether a multicultural big empire , or a common-culture big empire, it is the same thing.

    And regardless of what you call it , the big empire is your religion , except it is minus the virtue of actually being a religion

    It is going to be the first Presidential election in the history of the USA when one of the presidential candidates has de facto ceased an executive power and is actively using administrative resource to her advantage.

    All those Clintons-Rices-Nulands-Kogans-Wolfowitz do not seem to consider America their country and are ready to sacrifice it for the sake of the global power of their clans.

    In general it is purely clinical manifestation of the negative selection of American elites over the last quarter century.

    Wow, just read about the extended DOS attack that shut down your website. So sorry to hear about that. Since when are people so crazy that having a different opinion means you should resort to sabotage to get back at them. Very Un-American, I must say. Sabotage is done to enemies of the state not your fellow Americans.

    This election is bringing out all the crazies. Especially all the crazies who hate people who are black, Jewish, gay, female, immigrant or Muslim. Apparently the crazies are feeling very threatened. So they resort to sabotage or keep telling us how Putin is a better leader than Obama. Former KKK leader David Duke is running as a Republican! The Grand Old Party has really sunk to the bottom. Pretty sad really.

    Russians are coming!

    Turned on TV at 7 am and the first thing I heard was the cry of the Democratic minority leader in the Senate Harry Reid Russians are coming! I specifically did not test it with a good morning in the best traditions of James Forrestal, as validated data often displace the most interesting ideas out of your head.

    Reid calls on the FBI that was publicly raped by Clinton to investigate the circumstances clearly hinting that Russian hackers will penetrate the electoral machinery and tamper with the vote in favor of Donald Trump. Nothing new here, Clinton immediately after the convention, where she has publicly raped Sanders, attempted to rape Trump, alleging that he was a Russian spy. But what is interesting in this case that this hysteria occurred after a few days, when political propaganda suddenly subsided, and Clinton disappeared from TV screens for over 10 days.

    In the circumstances, the Reid psychosis can be explained in two ways:

    1. Clinton is really fucked up and Reid was asked to give a theatrical performance

    2. There were Trump negotiations with Hillary sponsors regarding that with her they quickly are going to get to the Other and Better world, where are no branches of Chase Manhattan bank, and nobody accepts credit cards, so they just have to deprive her of the ability to falsify the election results.

    And all this is due to the check-mate in three moves in Turkey that I was talking about before.

    I enjoy – if that’s the right word! – this blog every week, but if I have an issue with articles like the one above, it is with timing.

    When I was thirty I expected the Soviet Union to collapse, I just didn’t think that it would do so within my lifetime. That was thirty years ago and within a year or two it was gone, dumped on the scrapheap of history along with Austro-Hungary, Byzantium, the Raj and all the rest.

    While an awful lot of chickens must be coming home to roost right now, when they actually arrive is difficult to predict. If anything, I am surprised that those in “power” have managed to keep their various houses of cards upright for as long as they have. It can’t possibly be by good judgement, so it must be good luck – of the Devil, probably.

    But creaky gates can sometimes last longest and we might wake up to Armageddon tomorrow morning or, at my age, I might just live long enough not to see it. Whether the election of Homicidal Hillary will trigger it or just be co-incident with it remains to be seen. If, along with everything else J.H.K. articulates so well, she starts chucking the ordnance around to make Bush and Obama look like Quakers, just about anything can happen.

    Good luck everybody; whatever happens we could all do with a bit of that.

    Europe told the United States to go screw itself: what are the consequences?

    What happened only a few people believed was possible, and almost no one discussed. What so-called experts of traditional media refused to take into account, has become a reality.

    Following the German Government, the French Government, represented by the Minister of Foreign Trade Matthias Thecla, announced the completion of negotiations on a Transatlantic Partnership Agreement in the field of trade and investment, better known as TTIP. “Political support for the negotiations in France is no more”, – said Thekla. Let me remind you, most recently Vice-Chancellor of Germany, Sigmar Gabriel, said the same thing, but in other words: “The negotiations have failed”

    This is a serious defeat for Washington.

    Secure the colonial status of the EU economy the Americans failed. Open the European market for US corporations by eliminating various protectionist barriers – also failed. And most importantly have failed to subdue the European judicial system to US private equity courts, which were intended by the drafters of the agreement to have the right to veto any action of the European courts, parliaments and governments if they threaten the profits of US companies.

    The fact that the European Union did not manage to tear out of the project “New Silk Road”, which Russia is very interested in, it’s just a nice bonus of this story for us.

    I still am unconvinced that there is much of a common culture left. I don’t think there is. Just looking at my adopted state, downstate despises Chicago, and vice-versa.

    Chicago is full of gangbangers and elite financial or hipster types. Downstate is full of hillbillies. They glare malevolently at each other over the divide of I-80. They have very little in common. Music, food, dance, etc. are all very different.

    Is this the fault of the Progressive left? Perhaps, but equal blame must be laid at the feet of the Reactionary Right, IMO.

    Both have played fast and loose with history. The Right insisting that the narrative of the Revolution and Manifest Destiny were the vanguard of freedom, the Left insisting that there was a dark side (slavery, genocide, and oppresion). Both were right, but both insisted theirs was the only valid interpretation.

    • Janos Skorenzy August 30, 2016 at 1:30 pm #

      Insisting there was a dark side? No, they say there was nothing but dark, period. Read Howard Zinn. Now axe yourself how did this vicious hate filled hack get his book into every college in the land?

      Someone(s), very highly placed, really hate this country. As Ginsburg once yelled to a cop, “We’re going to get your children.” They did. Education is the key. The Establishment was complicit when not wildly in favor of this intellectual sea change, already dreaming of Global Order. And America and the West must fall that this may rise.

    • dannyboy August 30, 2016 at 1:36 pm #

      Yes. I see that in the state neighboring The Wonderful City of New York City New York.

      For example, Walter B began with “I grew up in Newark, New Jersey and then Plainfield” to establish his cred. Becoming more rageful he progressed to:

      “I will end my remarks with this. No we ate our meal at Carmine’s before the safari in the park and I may have grown up in the shadow of the Big A-Hole but it was never my kind of place I assure you.”

      Now there it is. Starts with pride in his dump-town (which, being in polite company, I overlooked) but ends up with the lamest critique of The Wonderful City of New York City New York.

      Now, I have heard these words before. They are unique to certain “types” who DO NOT LIVE WELL. While our Wonderful New York City New Yorkers decide it is worth some $Millions to live well, those surrounding The Wonderful City don’t spend those $millions, but do get the opportunity to critique The Most Wonderful City in The World.

      Aren’t we generous?

    Messianic Druid, U.S. “dominance”, was a bad idea even if it were temporarily feasible, which it wasn’t anyway. Too many things go wrong. History abounds with lessons which routinely get ignored.

    If you had tried to point out examples like those provided by the Romans, the British and the Spanish you got waved away with deep sighs. It’s DIFFERENT this time. America isn’t Britain nor ancient Rome nor especially those greaseball Latin lovers the Spanish. Heaven forfend. And anyway, don’t you know that history is bunk?

    In any case, the question was made academic ever since American oligarchs got the brilliant idea of sending American manufacturing to China which simultaneously undermined American economic and military capability and made China into a world power and America’s chief adversary. The era of American hegemony was thus short.

    People despised the U.S. for its disastrous meddling. The question now is whether they’ll like China any better. Seems that there’s a whole bunch of countries nervous about Chinese muscle flexing so they look to the U.S. for a protective alliance. They’re better off looking to themselves and their neighbors.

    The U.S. is a shadow of its former, post WW2 self. It no longer has the industrial capacity to mount a fight like in the 1940s, nor has it got the national will.

    Take on China? I don’t think so. If it tried, the U.S. would come apart like Mussolini’s Italy or the Hapsburgs or Czarist Russia. The calamities of Afghanistan and Iraq were instructive as to American feebleness. Again, a lot of history to look at which no doubt will get ignored.

    Dweebus, I know what you’re saying because I’ve seen it myself. But as Erik points out there’s also commonalities provided by the English language and, IMO, values inherent in modes of interacting and governing.

    No matter though, even if there ARE commonalities in culture, bi-coastal elites have done their level best to alienate people living in heartland America via an unending torrent of insults and put-downs. Now that heartlanders are well and truly pissed at the elimination of their economic mainstay and the depredations of Wall Street and the Oligarchs, they’re called fascists and morons and racists. This shows every indication of going very badly.

    It won’t matter whether it’s Lie-Till-You-Die Hillary or Trump the Baffoon, events will sweep away whoever is at the podium. There are forces roiling that are orders of magnitude stronger than anything anyone in the Oval office can muster. As a consequence, as Kunstler sez, enter the hard asses.

      It is interesting that you bring up language. Anthropologists will tell you it is THE big divider, second only to how we get food. (foraging, horticulture, agriculture, pastoral/herding and industrial ag) Not skin color, nore the shape of the eyes or noe, nor religion, but language.

      A common refrain from both sides with European first contact was “they don’t even talk like humans”.

      Now English is the default in the states. But language morphs and shifts over time. Dialects emerge. The advent of radio/TV/the interwebs allowed a false “standard American English” to emerge patterned on the speech of the Midwest, primarily. As the oil age unwinds, expect regional dialects to make a comeback with a vengeance, exacerbating existing divides.

      A perfect example, out in WY the median or ditches alongside highways are called “borrow ditches” or “borrow pits” because you borrowed the dirt to build up the road bed. We have what is called a “typical Midwestern dipthong” as an accent. So with a bit of a slur, the borrow ditch becomes barr ditch.

      Out here in IL, they are simply called medians. Expect these divides to grow.

      Another good example is Al Gore. He learned how to lose his Southern accent, because a Tennesee drawl was not conducive to national office. He was seen by many Tenneseeans as “fake”.

      So I think insisting that there is, or will be, a single standard English is rather pointless.

          here’s my youth:

          Until the late 1990s, the Bronx River Houses served as the worldwide ground zero for Hip-Hop culture. In the mid-1990s, the Giuliani administration used the NYPD to drive the Universal Zulu Nation out of the Bronx River Houses after defining them as a gang. The Bronx River Houses were the first housing projects in the country to be put under 24-hour police watch and have their common areas redesigned so that the entire housing project would be watched by cameras. Famous Hip-Hop musicians from the Bronx River Houses include Afrika Bambaataa, DJ Jazzy Jay, Martin Cofield, Sean Perry, Afrika Islam, Jamall Moss, the Soul Sonic Force, Kylik Clark “Alleymatill”, Fernando “Royal” Singleton, Eshawn Hall (DJ Mista Smoke) and Kareem Kennedo (NY$) Kill Bill Gang. DJ Red Alert also got his start in the Bronx River Houses. Bronx development is bordered by East 172nd and East 174th Streets and Manor and Harrod Avenues.

            Just read an interesting quote by Israeli dissident, Israel Shamir: the Jew is never free as a Jew.

No matter how wrong they might be in a given case.

            When he was young, he went to the private Kew-Forest School in Forest Hills, Queens, where his father, Frederick, a very wealthy real estate developer, was on the governing board. Behavior problems led to Donald’s exit from the school, at which point he was sent to the New York Military Academy at age 13 by his parents, who, according to Biography.com, hoped “the discipline of the school would channel his energy in a positive manner.”

            He did well there, and then went to Fordham University, a Jesuit school in the Bronx, for two years, before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania and studied economics for two years, graduating in 1968 with a bachelor’s degree. He took undergraduate classes at Penn’s famed Wharton School of Business. Though he was not enrolled in Wharton’s prestigious MBA program, he was admitted to Penn after an interview with a “friendly” Wharton admissions officer who was an old classmate of Trump’s older brother.

            “Rap is the soundtrack of Kali Yuga” -Janos

            Well said!!!

            While the cycle of the Yugas is a circle, I would contend that the circle rolls on a linear down slope. Like a wheel rolling downhill, a particular point on the wheel is experiencing its relative position of uptrend or downtrend.

            At some point the wheel is at the bottom and slows down. I don’t see any outside energy to carry us out out of the Kali Yuga and back up towards the Dvapara Yuga. Normally, in history, such recovery would come from Divine power to overcome the natural entropy of society. But, it’s clear that there will be no mass awakening and clearing of errors this time.

            In the Mahabharata, near the end of the Battle of Kurukshetra, Mother Earth finally decided it was time to end the war by finishing off Karna. The Earth reached up and seized his chariot wheel with an iron grip, thus paralyzing him. The war would never end as long as he could keep fighting. That supernatural act enabled Arjun to finally kill him off and hasten the end of the war.

            The chronic disease of mass anomie, and the perpetrators of that anomie, will go on unless some Divine Force grips the wheel of the Yugas and forces it to stay put at the bottom i.e. Kali Yuga. Just my two cents….

            I go with the Neo Traditionalists (Guenon, Schuon, Lings, et al), the End of the Cycle of Ages is catastrophic. There is no slow climb back up but rather a collapse and then revivification by Divine Grace – right back to Satya Yuga.

            The Hindus, who seem to know more about this than any, now seem divided on this. The Sri Yukteshwar/Yogananda school of thought is the evolutionary one back up stage by stage. They think we are already out of Kali Yuga – an obvious error. The Traditional Hindus believe as the Western Neos believe I believe. The most prominent of these Western seekers (named above) converted to Sufi Islam, seeing it as the most alive of the Traditions and the latest and most applicable to our times.

            They were men of great intellectual attainment and Guenon was initiated into many paths before settling on Sufism – including Vedanta. Lings actually said something like what Danny is saying, that the Satya Yuga can be felt towards the end of Kali Yuga as the End nears the Beginning. Danny seems to be symbolizing this with the Kabbalistic idea that the whole Tree is in every Sephirah.

    “Privileged childhood, as in; his father worked and his mother was a home maker?” –Malthuss

    “It has not been easy for me. And you know I started off in Brooklyn, my father gave me a small loan of a million dollars.” –Donald Trump, at a town hall appearance, Oct. 26, 2015

    Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump, was one of the richest men in America after constructing apartment complexes for the middle-class in Brooklyn and Queens. Donald Trump’s insight was to cross the river and start building in Manhattan, a much more prominent stage for the publicity-conscious would-be billionaire.

    Trump’s father — whose name had been besmirched in New York real estate circles after investigations into windfall profits and other abuses in his real estate projects — was an essential silent partner in Donald Trump’s initiative. In effect, the son was the front man, relying on his father’s connections and wealth, while his father stood silently in the background to avoid drawing attention to himself.

    Trump’s claim that he built a real-estate fortune out of a “small” $1 million loan is simply not credible. He benefited from numerous loans and loan guarantees, as well as his father’s connections, to make the move into Manhattan. His father also set up lucrative trusts to provide steady income. When Donald Trump became overextended in the casino business, his father bailed him out with a shady casino-chip loan—and Trump also borrowed $9 million against his future inheritance. While Trump asserts “it has not been easy for me,” he glosses over the fact that his father paved the way for his success — and that his father bailed him out when he got into trouble.

    For ignoring and playing down the substantial advantages his father’s wealth gave him, Trump earns Four Pinocchios.

    This is what Malthuss calls “work”!

    It actually is the case that millions of blacks, and to a lesser extent muslims and hispanics, are seething with resentment against white America, for whatever reason. Whether legitimate or not, this is actually a fact, a reality of life in the year 2016.

    Collapse isn’t going to be fun! It isn’t going to be bicycling and gardening! You can certainly do that if you want, but collapse is going to be the relentless decline in living standards and racial chaos.

    “Collapse isn’t going to be fun!” –dolph9

    Speak for yourself. Collapse is what you make of it. People have been telling me all my life that things are not going to be fun, beginning with my parents who said, “Just wait until you have to work and make your own way in the world.” Turned out everything has been fun. Vietnam war? Fun. Work? Fun. Travel? Fun. Dental root canal? Fun. Appendix surgery? Fun. Filling out tax returns? Fun. CFN? Fun. Donald Trump presidency? Fun.

    It is not what is happening to you that matters, it is the way you respond. For you, I predict collapse is not going to be fun… because you don’t seem to be having fun now. You may have lost the key to having fun.

    Reid has requested an investigation by the FBI of Russian hackers ability to influence the US election in order to divert attention from the mountain of evidence that the Democratic Party has not only forged the results of the primaries, but was preparing to fake the results of the general election.

    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/30/us/politics/harry-reid-russia-tampering-election-fbi.html?_r=1

    But most importantly is that the WikiLeaks published everything about participation of H. Clinton in the destruction of Libya as a State.

    On the video is a programmer testimony, which has developed a program which allows forging the results of electronic voting

    The coolest thing about the Trump presidency will be a total destruction of a chokehold the Wall Street keeps around the American and world economy.

    Wall Street makes its living almost exclusively off of financial technology of emitting the world reserve currency, no dollar as an exclusive reserve currency – no Wall Street; they all could be replaced with couple of Servers in a Google basement and a dozen mobile apps.

    You guys are taking it all too literally. It is a metaphor. Kali yuga ends when the deepest, darkest negativity and other impressions of the mind are ended and purity reigns! The end of Kali will bring forth the beginning of the Golden Age! When the ego has been annihilated the Golden Age of the inner consciousness will prevail. So will the world be destroyed? Will the earth be destroyed? No. It is the Ahamkara (ego consciousness) that will be destroyed.

    What a hypocrite Trump is!

    WASHINGTON – Republicans have ramped up their hammering of Hillary Clinton for not holding a news conference this year – even as their own presidential nominee has been banning dozens of journalists from participating in his.

    Trump has banned Univision, Buzzfeed, The Huffington Post, The Daily Beast, The Des Moines Register, Politico and The Washington Post from receiving credentials to his campaign events, including news conferences. The ban prevents reporters who have produced some of the most critical coverage of Trump from even attending, let alone asking questions.

    Adnani was one of the most high-ranking figures in ISIS. In addition to his role as propaganda chief, he was thought to have been in charge of the group’s external terror operations.

      Good riddance to the Olympics. It needs to die.

      At one time, it may have symbolized the competition of amateur sportsmen from all nations. But, over the past 40 years, the Olympics has succumbed to shameless commercialism, profiteering, merchandising, and attention whoring. Not to mention all the bullshit events that have crept in over time. Events that have no clear scoring of win or loss (gymnastics) or do not reflect athletic skill (curling).

    Look ; The FAKE diversity versus common culture ” debate ” !

    ( Very much like the FAKE Creationism versus Darwinism “debate” , but that’s the subject of another commentary. )

    I really despise shoelaces , so I look for footwear that doesn’t include shoe laces. Also, I live in a rural area where sidewalks and asphalt are not the norm, but mud, snow, and briars are .
    So, given that criteria , and given they also happen to look pretty while at the same time being utilitarian , I bought a pair of jack boots.

    I stubbornly wore them for awhile , but they ultimately wound up banished to the closet , despite their virtues, because of all the dirty looks I got from BOTH the champions of cosmopolitan diversity, and the common culture patriots.

    Clearly the former assumed I was some sort of Nazi .
    Clearly the latter assumed I was anti-American.

    Now if you bother to look at any substantial number of photos of the American frontier / the old west , from 1850 to 1920, or go to museums and look at surviving examples of what was worn then, what you will rarely , or never, see , are any examples of that gaudy , uncomfortable, and lavishly impractical footwear now passed off as the American cowboy boot.

    What Jesse James , American cowboys, American pioneers, and the U.S. 7th Cavalry , WERE wearing , ubiquitously , looked very much like, or basically were, jack boots.

    So ;

    The Common culture patriots love their country so much that they never bothered to study it beyond the cramming they had to do for a 6th grade civics class.

    And the Champions of diversity respect other cultures so much that they never bothered to study it beyond what can be crammed into a 30 second TV commercial aimed at an 8 year olds understanding.

    — Or , worse , both DO know the actual facts and the actual context, but by choice elect to ignore it and pander instead to the narrow , grossly simplistic, bigoted conceit of an 8 year old.

    Because, as Shakespeare famously said, ” To do a little right, do a little wrong. ”

    Because, after all , there is some compelling , over-arching moral or practical imperative in stigmatizing jack boots .

    Because, after all , there is some compelling , over-arching moral or practical imperative in pushing ugly, less practical, footwear.

    Like I said at the beginning, it’s a fake debate.
    the gay multiculturalist doesn’t give a damn about other cultures, and the Common culture patriots don’t give a damn about America.

    Neither of these clubs gives a damn about human rights.
    Both in fact have the same agenda, which agenda both never state out-right and bluntly.

    In Archangelsk, began celebrations devoted to the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the first allied convoy codenamed “Dervish”. The celebration of the anniversary was attended by the veterans of the countries – allies of the USSR, the participants of the northern convoy route of American Lend-Lease program.

    The gains we’ve made over the last eight years — on health care, LGBT rights, climate change, and more — are far too important to too many Americans to risk losing them.

    I know I can trust Hillary to take up the baton. I’ve seen firsthand her endurance, her commitment, her grace under pressure, and her steady head in times of crisis.

    She’s not just my former Senate colleague, my one-time rival, or my former Secretary of State: she’s my friend. And when she’s our president, I know this country will be in the best possible hands. She will protect the progress we’ve made, and even more than that — she’s going to build on it.

      what’s your Bid?

  95. wpa_ccc August 31, 2016 at 11:14 am #

    Cold, you are batting zero with your presidential candidates: Walker, Rubio, Bush, Trump, all losers. Clinton has been leading in 25 of the last 25 polls. Let’s see, 25 divided by 25… That’s Clinton winning in 100% of the polls. Clinton is a winner. Trump is a loser. 25 times.

    Trump has shown signs of indecision on whether to go ahead with his previous proposal for a “deportation force,” saying there are some “great people” among the immigrant population and that he would like to work with them.

    He was pressed in a Fox News interview last week on whether he was open to any steps that might accommodate law-abiding people who had built strong family ties in the United States.

    “There certainly can be a softening because we’re not looking to hurt people,” Trump said in his response.

  96. FincaInTheMountains August 31, 2016 at 11:45 am #

    I sort of miss Buck Stud. At least there was one non-robotic poster sincerely vouching for poor old Hillary.

    Is there anyone else?

    • wpa_ccc August 31, 2016 at 11:51 am #

      Hillary has an 85% chance of becoming president. I don’t agree with some of her positions (foreign policy), but I do agree with her domestic policies. So I am going with the winner, Hillary Rodham Clinton (most experience, most qualified), and not with Donald Trump (least experience, least qualified).

    wpa said: You cannot distinguish between voluntary immigration and forced deportation.

    Apparently, neither can you. They were forced to emigrate to America out of desperation. So desperate, they risk life & limb making the crossing. I call that an involuntary, not voluntary. It’s a reflexive action and it’s a pathetic indictment of Mexico which is, for all intents and purposes, a Narco State run by & for The Cartels with the blessing and support of America’s National Security State which uses the illegal Narco Trafficking as its Black Budget to sow chaos throughout The Realm.

    I’ll create a blog post that outlines my Immigration Policy. Those who are in America currently can stay and made legal with no strings attached aside from the criminals — they go back. But then, that’s it. No more immigration to America from ANYWHERE and America does what it has to do to stem the tide including protecting the border with the latest technical advances. Those who are currently illegal can help in that process. Drugs will be legalized thus putting the Cartels out of business, much to the chagrin of America’s National Security State which will no doubt have me assassinated for trying to take its Bread & Butter away like it did to JFK.

    • Cold N. Holefield August 31, 2016 at 12:29 pm #

      Correction: It should read “they were forced to emigrate from Mexico…” not “they were forced to emigrate to America…”

    • volodya August 31, 2016 at 12:32 pm #

      Bravo Cold, in your indictment of Mexico as a failed cartel-run narco-state, and in characterizing the acts of the illegal migrant. I couldn’t have said it better.

      Your remedy for the present day illegals, ie an amnesty without strings, or IOW, all the attendant bullshittery that makes it practically impossible to attain legal status, is as good as I’ve heard. Bravo for that too.

      Illegals were here because it served the purpose of Big-Biz and Big-Agri pure and simple. A low wage and marginalized and docile work force was the agenda. Well, ok, they achieved their aim. Plus it allowed Mexico a pressure valve to offshore their own dysfunction onto the backs of working-class Americans. Bad on everyone else for not calling this out.

      But what’s done is done. A lot of people have been hurt directly and indirectly. What has to be done now is mitigation of all the ills and make damn sure it never happens again.

      And, to make sure that the people that foisted this are called to account and made to pay including cheerleaders and enablers for illegal immigration. They can’t be allowed to skate. Too much of that already the latest being Comey giving a pass to I-Will-Lie-Till-You-Die Hillary.

      • Cold N. Holefield August 31, 2016 at 1:17 pm #

        Thanks. Yeah, FOX News this morning was trying to brush over Comey’s cowardice and give him a pass. Comey doing the moral & ethical thing would have been political suicide for him, but nothing will change unless a tsunami of public officials fall on their swords while in office, not afterwards in a book hardly anyone reads but many own.

        You guys are focusing only on the Repubican/Economic side. Rush (who focuses on the Democratic/Political side had a great idea: the newly made citizens cannot vote for 25 years. Watch the Democrat reptiles writhe in rage.

        I disagree of course with both sides. It’s a marriage made in hell. They both wanted the same thing for different reasons. The number is far, far greater than 11 million, easily three times as many. Most of them will never assimilate in any case. And the jobs they will do are needed by White and Black Americans.

  98. volodya August 31, 2016 at 12:14 pm #

    KesaAnna, I agree the Demorepublicrat uni-party has been conducting a fake debate, as you put it, as a smokescreen for the real agenda (Big Empire as you see it).

    I suppose you can call it “Big Empire” insofar as empires trample over people for the sake of extracting their wealth and income, in this case, the 99.9% of ordinary people not of the Oligarchy.

    So one methodology of the theft is to get people fired up over the distractionary culture wars. And while they’re on the barricades decorating themselves in tribal war-paint that denotes austere and up-right patriot or self-admiring progressive, the Treasury gets looted, CEOs and Wall Street predators filch your job and your pension and savings. Brilliant con-job don’t you think?

    But it doesn’t take a graduate degree to figure out that bringing in millions of people while you’re exporting millions of jobs will depress ordinary people’s incomes. You can see the devastation with your own eyes.

    But that’s not how they present the issue. They dress up immigration, whether it’s an an uncontrolled southern border or the millions of existing illegals or millions more legal immigrants, as one of “open-ness” to the world and tearing down walls versus small-minded-ness and building up walls. Or more generally as “values” as opposed to “interests”.

    Or as “common culture”, as you put it, against the gay cosmopolitan multi-culturalist. No matter, as you say, it’s a fake debate. And, IMO, the intent is distraction.

    See, when it comes down to it, the argument is that the grubby interests of ordinary people don’t matter, they should take a back-seat to the exalted values of their “progressive” betters. That is if you’re dumb enough to fall for the assertion that it’s all about progressive against regressive values, which it isn’t. What it’s all about is Oligarch bottom lines and, to a lesser extent, the wealth of the progressive clerisy that support the Oligarchs.

    And then, if ordinary people object, they’re vilified as racists and fascists. Well, no, they’re not racists and fascists. They just want to make a decent living, something that the Oligarchs do their level best to deny them.

    Bernie and Trump, to their credit, called bullshit on the whole thing. This is and always was about interests.

    • Janos Skorenzy August 31, 2016 at 2:51 pm #

      Or they are racists and fascists – the former being the natural state of love of one’s own and Fascism as the system that protects them in the modern industrial state.

      • volodya August 31, 2016 at 3:10 pm #

        Fascism laid waste to Western Civilization. They put it on its death-bed.

        Witness the flaccid response to the millions crowding the borders from the Middle East and Africa. If not for the 20th Century predations of the fascists do you think the policy of Merkel and Co would be the same? Look at the chaos she created. Why? They’re trying to make a counter-statement to Hitler.

        Never mind that it’s been three generations. The practicalities of absorbing a multitude of people that have no hope in hell of finding employment or making a life there are of no account, the citizens that will have to cope with this are of no importance, German interests in general are not on their radar, the lessons of what happened to Rome are irrelevant. And Rome couldn’t contain the influx on the run from Hunnic hordes. Look at what happened to Rome. Wasn’t pretty. Set things back for more than a thousand years. So I wouldn’t be lauding the fascists.

        OUT damned spot OUT.

        • Janos Skorenzy August 31, 2016 at 6:50 pm #

          Don’t blame Hitler for losing. He had many of the right ideas and fought hard. If he had triumphed, this wouldn’t be happening to Europe and Western Civilization. Merkel and Co are Globalists – just like the Communists/Capitalists who defeated Hitler’s Germany. Now they’re coming to finish the job.

          Germany was starved after both World Wars. German POW’s were left to die by the hundred thousand of exposure. The Kaufman Plan called for the sterilization of all German males. The Germans heard about this and it strengthened their will to fight on. The Morgenthau Plan was to turn Germany into an “agricultural state” – which meant little or no aid and the death of tens of millions. Roosevelt let Henry Morgenthau float it out but a German American congressman went after him on the floor of the House and did use the word “genocide”. Roosevelt backed off saying, “Henry we have to give them something.” Morgenthau was left holding the bad guy bag and was very bitter. Amazing, eh? All true. You can read about it in a book called “The Conquerors” – a mainstream book, not White Nationalist or Nazi.

          The moral? Don’t get caught up in the exigencies of what actually happened. They are mean to take down Western Civilization and wipe out the White Race – if not by one means, then by another. Hitler and his circle divined their ends and opposed them. America did not and helped those who executed Germany and who are now executing us.

          • Elrond Hubbard September 1, 2016 at 10:32 am #

            Hitler initiated a war of genocidal aggression and lost. To this day, some are still butthurt over the details of how that loss played out, but the responsibility lies with the author of the aggression.

            I for one don’t blame Hitler for losing. I don’t exactly credit him either; it’s more like a consolation prize.

          • Janos Skorenzy September 1, 2016 at 1:31 pm #

            Your commitment to human rights continues to be highly selective. The great tragedy of your life is that you missed being born in Russia where you could have been a Soviet Commissar and you were born too early to be a North American Union one.

            Sucks to be you, eh?

          • Elrond Hubbard September 1, 2016 at 2:51 pm #

            Janos, I will not suffer you of all people to impugn my commitment to human rights. In case there’s any doubt, my sympathy e.g. for ordinary Germans who fled or were expelled from Poland under appalling conditions after the war is not dissimilar to my sympathy for innocent Poles who suffered and died when the Nazis invaded. Likewise for those who endured firebombing or a hundred other horrors, then or now.

            My belief in human rights is genuine and universal, but time, words and patience are all finite. So no, I don’t hedge every last utterance with disclaimers — as though fascists, white supremacists or other shit-for-brains will be appeased, or are worth appeasing.

    Also, the Russians, are they right now mobilizing to make a move into Ukraine, and perhaps the Baltic Countries? Which could be a reason for their sudden overtures to Turkey.

    I don’t expect the MSM to delve into these questions. We’ll find out the answers when the truth becomes obvious, by which time it will be too late.

      Putin’s not that stupid. He would be spreading Russia too thin. It’s not the Soviet Union any longer, so it can’t mobilize on many fronts like it once could. Russia can’t be a Hegemon — and neither can America, apparently. He’ll corrupt all those former Soviet Satellite Countries, as if they’re not already corrupt, and make them subservient without overt military maneuvers. The Crook part of Hook or Crook.

      • volodya August 31, 2016 at 12:50 pm #

        How it looks to me is that Putin is trying what the Romans did to safeguard their own empire, that is, to make peoples bordering the empire into client states sometimes by intimidating them, sometimes by lauding their people and bribing them and their leaders. These client states would then perform the function of allies to Rome and help with the dirty job of pushing off marauding barbarians.

        It was a system of mutual benefit. Border people also got commercial opportunities within the empire and the security of Rome’s legions just across the border and a couple weeks march away along Rome’s network of highways.

        Russia, like Rome, has got a gigantic land mass, some dangerous neighbors and a border that’s too long. The thing is whether Putin has the required finesse. It can’t be all intimidation all the time. Fear only goes so far. He has to make the Ukrainians and Baltic peoples into willing participants and give incentives.

        Putin has to say security for us, security for you, prosperity for us all. The making nice with Turkey is a good and necessary start.

        • Cold N. Holefield August 31, 2016 at 1:21 pm #

          Oh, no doubt about it. He will utilize the same method he does in Russia. Prop up the Oligarchs and keep them in line at the same time. The Oligarchs are like the Capos in the Mafia — they’ll keep the Little People barely afloat while enriching themselves so long as they defer to Putin when he requires it and they pay their proper monetary tribute.

          America doest he same thing, it’s just much more sophisticated in its means and there are more layers and more players.

          • Janos Skorenzy August 31, 2016 at 2:54 pm #

            Exactly. That’s what we need: someone who will keep the Plutocrats in line and keep their activities serving the Nation and not just their own portfolios. As it is now, they run America and they are running it into the ground. When they have raped it to death, they will go someplace else, probably the Far East and try and do the same thing.

      Great short article on PR–most of them are here—

      If you are an American criminal on the lam, though, Puerto Rico is a good place to hole up from the law. For instance, one of the more lurid recent murders in my neighborhood was the 2009 Armenian-versus-Armenian killing in the parking lot of the local Sears in North Hollywood, Calif. By analyzing social media, the victim’s father tracked the affluent killer down to a beach town in Puerto Rico and federal marshals arrested him. But to the outrage of the LAPD, a Puerto Rican judge let the killer out on $50,000 bail, and he immediately disappeared.

    “But then, that’s it. No more immigration to America from ANYWHERE and America does what it has to do to stem the tide including protecting the border with the latest technical advances.” –Cold

    Cold, you and Volodya are starry-eyed dreamers, completely unrealistic. Just as we could not stop the eleven million already here, we cannot stop the next eleven million. Most arrive on airplanes, in American airports, and go through customs with their legal visitor visas. How you gonna stop that? Not with a wall.

    Sen. Marco Rubio said that while people sneaking into the United States is a legitimate problem, the immigration system is so broken that almost half of all illegal immigrants came into the country through legal channels.

    “We have a porous border, meaning not just the border with Mexico, but 40 percent of people in this country, illegally, are overstaying visas,” he said on Fox & Friends on July 22, 2015.

      How much money did you give them? Enough to get their attention? So who do you suppose they’ll be working for when Hill and Bill occupy the Oval Office? Do you think they’ll have YOUR best interests and the interests of people like you in mind ? Or will they be looking out for the Oligarchs?

      Ask yourself whether Hillary would have had it in her to make it to where she’s at without Bill? Maybe she has it in her to make a really good living as a lawyer. But Prez? I don’t think she’s anywhere close.

      As I said, you can say what you like about Trump. But IMO the prospect of Hillary as chief exec is no better and quite possibly worse.

    The history of Russia is the history of Orthodoxy, that does not mean that all the bishops were always and everywhere right, but recognizes that Alexander Nevsky deciding on “the war in the West, the Peace in the East” was guided by the fact that the Mongols of Batu Khan demanded secular and financial submission, while the German dog-knights demanded submission spiritual, that is, as shown by the Fourth Crusade, the rejection of Christ.

    And as shown by the destruction of Vineta and Arkona, Wendish Crusade and other Northern Crusades is the rejection of Christ was of the type ritus aut natio deleatur – either the rite or the people are to be extinguished – of “saint” Bernard of Clairvaux.

    Russian Federation Council: Pentagon is jealous of the success of Russia in the fight against terrorism

    A Pentagon spokesman, denying the destruction of one of the leaders of the terrorist group “Islamic state” Abu Muhammad al-Adnani by Russian Air Force, is driven by envy and irritation, the agency might instead requested additional confirmation from the Russian Ministry of Defense, said the head of the Board Committee Federation for defense and security Viktor Ozerov.

    A Pentagon spokesman on Wednesday called “nonsense” the Russian Defense Ministry statement that Al-Adnani was killed by the Russian air strike, Reuters reported. Earlier, Minister Michel Baldansa told RIA Novosti that the Pentagon did not comment on reports that Al-Adnani was eliminated by Russian rather than American strike.

      If picture at SBPDL is correct, looks like she had mulatto family.

      From more recent article there,
      I guess race mixing didn’t work out as well for her is it does on TV and the movies. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again if you deal with n— you’ll get a n—–er deal.

      In other news the(((B’nai B’rith/ADL))) spinoff (((SPLC))) has declared White Lives Matter to be a hate group.

      The usual anti-white bullshit from the usual suspects.

      The Georgetown prisoner told authorities that Da’Shaun Taylor picked Drexel up in Myrtle Beach and took her to McClellanville. There he “showed her off, introduced her to some other friends that were there … they ended up tricking her out with some of their friends, offering her to them and getting a human trafficking situation,” the FBI agent testified.
      By that point, the prisoner said, searches for the missing teen had generated massive media publicity. That created a problem for her abductors and she was “murdered and disposed of,” the agent told the court.

      This is probably the tip of the iceberg. The Taylor family have been suspects going back to 1998 in the disappearance of young white women.
      A year after Drexel, Shaun Taylor was picked out of a lineup by a white woman who escaped a kidnapping by elbowing him in the face. Three black males tried to pull her into a van. What became of the charges?

      Taylor’s brother was one of 5 arrested for the rape and murder of Shannon McCoughnahey in 1998.

      She disappeared from a Cracker Barrel in North Charleston.

      Of course murder charges were dropped since no evidence was found.

      Something really sinister going on in South Carolina.

      Our posterity will never come to terms with how we could allow this insanity to transpire year after year, with frightening amounts of evidence piling up (Brittney Watts and Amanda Blackburn come to mind) to slap us perpetually in the face with only one, familiar refrain: your ancestors knew the truth.

      It must be remembered our posterity will take solace in knowing it is this era of never-ending, increasingly unnerving stories (and continued collapsing of formerly thriving cities/communities) ultimately providing the final nail in the coffin of egalitarianism and racial masochism.

      Our only job is to survive this era, so a new one can be born.

        The American Tree is dead and has been dead since the fatal blow of New Leftism, over 50 years ago. People like wpa and her fellows think that the Tree is alive and healthy with all the biological diversity growing on the tree. They just refuse to accept that The American Tree is DEAD.

        The idea of saving a few saplings from the parent Tree is RACIST and XENOPHOBIC. No, we must mow them down so nobody will EVER be allowed to see the difference between a Living White America and the rotted Empire of Diversity we are conditioned to accept.

            Dannyboy,

            You do not present yourself as a sympathetic figure. Honest comments by others are responded to, by you, with dismissive snarky comments worthy of a school – yard punk. You can do better…why don’t you step up your game?

            Your comments of the last two weeks do not seem as honest attempts at contribution, but rather a thinly-disguised attempt to cheapen the dialog.

            I have, through several months, sparred with you repeatedly and expect reply’s commensurate with my comments…others, however, may not understand the dynamic and do not deserve your dismissive, demeaning, and, I expect, disingenuous boasting and posturing posts. Quit being a schmeckel…

            I seldom feel sorry for any of the Elite, especially the Jewish ones. But he is so hapless and enslaved, I do for him a bit. In this, he reminds me a bit of Ted Kennedy’s son, Patrick. He always seemed in way over his head, basically a boy in a man’s body, desperately trying to fill shoes too big for him, laboring under the heavy burden of a famous family legacy. And the drink was his way of coping. At least he seemed to know his situation and left public life after his father’s death. He probably was just doing it to please him.

      Yes, his speech was magisterial. This time full of details that made sense. I wish he was clearer about the ultimate fate of the tens of millions already here, but he’s right that much needs to be done now. And perhaps the ambiguity will help put him over the top. Obviously talking in a sensible draconian way would only hurt him with the females, both feminine and ostensibly masculine.

    Cold and Volodya,

    I just listened to Trump’s speech in Phoenix. He did not answer or even acknowledge the immigration entry problem.

    Just as we could not stop the eleven million already here, we cannot stop the next eleven million. Most arrive on jet airplanes, in major American airports, and go through customs with their legal visitor visas. How you gonna stop that? You aren’t.

    Not with a wall. (regardless of who pays for it)

    Trump is stirring up anti-immigrant sentiment to gain political power, just like Hitler stirred up hatred for the Jews. And you guys are falling for it.

    Dmitry Orlov describes Diversity and Multiculturalism as akin to person wading into a crocodile invested River and saying: “Hey crocodiles! It really doesn’t matter that you’re crocodiles because we’re all just animals anyway.”

    Orlov says that in some parts of Europe M..usl..ims want to make religion the center of their lives and be separate while the Liberal bent believes that nations, religion, and tribal identities don’t matter.

    Orlov says that the Americans tried to set up a Representative Democracy in Afghanistan. But it seems that Pashtun culture does not recognize the idea that a person can represent someone else. In Pashtun tribal meetings each person (males) speaks for himself.

    malthuss, why do you care about Europe?

    Besides, becoming Muslim is not the same as dying.

    Or do you consider Muslim majority countries like Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Senegal, Gabon, Sierra Leone, Gambia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Turkey, Pakistan, to be dead because they are Muslim countries? Do you consider Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Montenegro to be “dead” because of their large Muslim populations? How about Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates?

    Islam is the future. Relax fraidy-cat! Your sadness about Europe is irrational.

  119. wpa_ccc September 1, 2016 at 2:08 am #

    Nativists like Trump blames everything wrong in the country on Muslims and immigrants. Trump is anti-Muslim. There are some similarities between the way Trump has demonized Muslim’s and Hitler demonized the Jews. Both have elevated a group to the point where they’re presenting them as a real and tangible threat to their entire nation.

    Both also suggested that the way to deal with the “problem” caused by the demonised culture was to make them second class citizens. Hitler forced Jews to register themselves and he restricted what they could do. Trump has proposed a register for Muslims, refusing to allow any Muslim’s to enter the country and even closing down some Mosques. There are definite similarities between the approach of the two men.

    As Alan Bullock noted in “Hitler: A study in Tyranny”, the Nazi mouthpiece Volkischer Beobachter constantly depicted Jews as rapists. So there’s another similarity with the way Trump discusses illegal immigrants.

    Speaking more broadly, we find Hitler and Trump proclaiming a schizophrenic assessment of the nation: it is the greatest, strongest and best nation that there ever has been or will be… but it is also a pathetic laughing stock mocked and exploited by foreigners and foreign elements. The full range of emotions can then be cynically deployed, accompanied by visceral hatred for “intellectuals” – that is, people who point out the inconsistency and constant lies.

  123. Cold N. Holefield September 1, 2016 at 6:52 am #

    wpa, how many times do I have to tell you, I’m not a Trump fan and I don’t vote. Voting is for rubes. But I do have an opinion on Immigration and it has nothing in common with Trump’s vacillating stance. I’m the third generation of Polish & Irish immigrants, so I’m obviously not anti-immigrant as you characterize me. My opposition to immigration has to do with the environment, not with a deep-seated & bigoted hatred of immigrants.

    America, once upon a time, needed immigration to scale up its exponential industrialization. Those days have long since passed and now America is not only no longer industrializing, but is in fact, deindustrializing.

    As well, Americans, still, by & large, have the greatest Carbon Footprint of any nation. America is a Climate Change Machine and every immigrant added to this Machine deleteriously effects the Climate, if you believe Climate Change Theory, and the Environment and no amount of efficiency gains can remedy those effects.

    The days of industrial Economic Growth in America are over, and as such, immigrants are no longer needed or useful. Instead, they will be a drag on an archaic System that needs to change radically in order to alleviate the worst of the suffering to come if Humanity does not change course. Business As Usual has to end. It will end one way or another. This is why I think both candidates are full of shit. Hillary wants to maintain the Status Quo of slow, pragmatic degradation disguised as recovery & growth, and Trump delusionally & naively wants to return to a time that is forever gone & lost.

    You, wpa, are a deceit & a hypocrite. This comment section is anchored by polar opposites to maintain & contain a narrative within acceptable bounds and several foils exist to occupy those positions. You’re one of them. You are purposefully absurd and I’m convinced you don’t believe a damn thing you utter — you’re just posting away to provide one radical pole on the spectrum of allowable discourse and ideas. Janos is the other, opposite pole, but you both work for the same boss. It’s so obvious & transparent and you both know, if you’re not the same psycho using sock puppets, that I’ve been onto it for a long time now. No person who isn’t getting paid to do so, would spend the kind of time you and Janos have spent posting to this backwater comments section. It’s a job. The only question for me is, how much do you Shitbirds get paid for it?

      Cold,
      I too, wonder just how much of a ‘living’ is to be made from shitbirding various blogs, and what is the justification for being assigned to haunt them, specifically? (Yes, I think shitbirding should become an actual word. 😉 )

      I’m sure you’ve noticed the constant subliminal message-bomb that’s thrown from both poles, day in and night out: “The uber/mega state will provide, comfort, punish, mold and protect you damn fools.” …And this message would be the exact opposite of JHK’s meme of reducing expectations, getting smaller, more local and more “human”-scaled; *contraction*, if you will. I suppose *that* would be one of the justifications. (I’m hoping JHK will allow that crude expression of one of his memes/warnings.)

      Of course we shouldn’t dismiss the added “benefit” of honey-trapping those that “will bear watching”…

    Geez, according to an article in Zero Hedge today migrants are still pouring into Southern Europe by the tens of thousands, not Syrians escaping civil war, but economic migrants from places like Congo, Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia, coming across the Med in unseaworthy boats from Libya.

    From the evidence presenting itself it seems the whole 3rd world is in a state of general collapse, and it feels as tho its 1938 all over again, and we are on the verge of some great calamity, in this case the end of white, western European civilization. I hope I’m overstating the situation.

    Its astonishing to the degree of accuracy Jean Raspail predicted what is happening in Europe in his 1972 novel ‘Camp of Saints’.

    On another related note, thousands of tribesmen from the Congo are being imported into Montana by the Obama admin. with the help of various church groups. What will these people do in Montana? Ranchers, gold prospectors, lumbermen? First, apparently, they have to learn the rudimentaries of life in North America, like wearing pants, how a toilet works, and what snow is. Then after those basics are settled they can move into the manly ranks of the great western frontier.

    That, or maybe all of them will just go on welfare, forever.

    The American edition Inquisitor shared with the world astounding discovery: Moscow receives military technology directly from the aliens

    The publication, at first glance seemingly far from yellow journalism, cites the opinion of reputable American conspiracy theorists who believe that the Russian complex “Khibiny”, by which destroyer “Donald Cook” was put out of action, was created by technology transfer to Russia from Pleiadians and Arcturians. Also, according to the conspiracy theorists, Russia is building missiles and planes using same alien technology.

    Ozone and Cold, yes, it is a mite disconcerting that certain people seem to have nothing but time on their hands to pepper this blog with hundreds of posts at all hours of the day. It certainly suggests a full time job, maybe a full time job involving not only shitbirding this blog but others also.

    We saw not that long ago one notorious shitbirder outed as a government employee via a link that’s no longer seen on Kunstler’s website. Extreme carelessness on the employee’s part, unless, that is, it wasn’t carelessness but instead deliberate. It was as if to say this is who we are, we are watching and actively interfering in discussions that the Deep State does not want taking place.

    You may ask what interest does the Deep State have on a blog such as this? Because ideas, once they take hold, are notoriously difficult to eradicate and there are certain ideas that the Deep State has no interest in taking hold. One such idea is the viability of economic and political arrangements such as they currently exist and what arrangements may take their place. Sites such as Kunstler’s are disliked because it loosens the Deep State’s hold on the public agenda, public perception and public speech. Not to put too fine a point on it, but ideas, when they are acted upon, can dislodge governing arrangements, and economic ones too. People that had inordinate advantage under existing arrangements can find themselves without. Can’t have that can we? In the end it’s all about money and power but especially money.

    The shitbirder in question no longer posts under the old moniker, yet more than one commenter noted that the he may be still active on this site. It’s notable that there’s another shitbirder in addition now, that last week posted something like 200 inane and pointless comments. I would suggest to the shitbirder’s boss that he needs to up his game. The shitbirding needs to be a lot more inflammatory or absurd or even just lengthy so as to bury unwanted discussion upstream where it is less likely to be seen.

    Well, this is what tax dollars are spent on. Mr K can take a perverse pride in attracting so much attention from the PTB. It certainly suggests that his ideas are worthy of official-unofficial scrutiny. Much to fear from ideas, such as those enunciated in Cold’s last comment, that the days of industrial America are over, that immigrants are no longer needed. Such utterances are haram, utterly haram. Maybe such thought-crime is extra-legally punishable but not yet legally punishable. But give it time.

    A suggestion, if you suspect that a poster isn’t bona fide, that he’s a hired shitbirder, avoid engaging. No point to it in my view. Just a waste of time.

    PeteAtomic, stronger and healthier families? Maybe. That’s a fond hope and a highly possible outcome. One thing is for sure, at least IMO, families members will be a lot more interdependent. Women won’t be able to dispense with men as occasional sex partners or social accessories. Men won’t be able to treat women likewise. They’ll need one another just like the old days. Watch for traditional arrangements like marriage to come roaring back. Parents will need their kids to help out especially in their declining years which come a lot sooner than before. No more talk of 90 year life spans. More like 60.

    If what comes to pass is a great deal more localization because of a breakdown in long distance transport of foodstuffs, clothes etc etc, we will either learn to grow and produce things for ourselves or we will walk around naked and starve.

    In order to re-orient ourselves, a lot of century old ways will change. One, IMO, is the specialization of tasks and division of labor. We’ll all become much more jack-of-all-trades. And, as you say, say good-bye to the internet. Maybe we’ll have local-nets, maybe we’ll make do with telephone systems that transmit along the barbed-wire fences along property lines. Just like the early days of telephone.

    • PeteAtomic September 1, 2016 at 7:32 pm #

      Sure, absolutely. I agree with your sentiments here.

      Traditional arrangements also being extended families living close to each other with grandparents. No more nursing homes. Also
      most likely a return to larger families than are present today because of a return to agrarianism.

      The central thesis of Kunstlerian thinking is spot on, imho– that we are at an end of the age of techno-industrialization, and entropic decline is kicking in & a natural reaction/development.

    Icelandic fairy tale of Euro-2016 will be remembered for a long time, and not just because it showed football, in which the important thing is not money, but also because the whole of Russia was rooting for the Vikings, whose battle cry of “Hu!” was full for Russians with Déjà vu.

    For years, the various communities of Mexicans in the United States, from Seattle to Chicago and from Los Angeles to the Carolinas, were plagued by a grid of multiple internal divisions.

    But today, and largely thanks to the narrative that Mr. Trump has managed to inject into the national debate, the Mexicans on this side of the border are more united than ever and with a very clear goal in sight: to avoid what has happened from happening again.

    Thank you, Mr. Trump!

    The President of Mexico bowed to the King in the North.

      Mr Nieto contradicted Trump. Mr. Nieto “made it clear” that Mexico will not pay for the wall Trump wants to build.

      Mr Nieto said Trump posed a threat to his country. “That risk, that threat, must be confronted. I told him that is not the way to build a mutually beneficial relationship for both nations” said Mr. Nieto.

      Janos, you call that bowing?

      Nieto issued an invitation. Trump accepted. That gave Nieto the opportunity to inform Trump to his face that Mexico will not pay for the wall. Trump could only salvage the situation by saying it was just a preliminary meeting.

    Bertrand Russell asked Stalin why the Khazak people must die. Stalin just smiled indulgently, equal parts contempt at his weakness and ignorance and pleasure at the prospect of the deed itself. By way of explanation, he simply added in his simple way that they didn’t fit in with what the Soviet Union needed. Nomadic herders really don’t produce much beyond their own needs.

    I imagine if I asked Elrond why Whites must die I would get much the same reaction. Whites simply don’t fit into the new gibsmedat culture of Givers and Receivers. Of course he would add with a Stalinic smile, many White Women do just fine.

    • Elrond Hubbard September 1, 2016 at 3:38 pm #

      The attribution to me of the proposition whites-must-die is a figment of hatred and fear, a projection of Janos’ id. It’s as good an example as any of why any representation of my views by Janos is at best worthless, or more likely an attempt to infect others with his fear and hate.

      • Janos Skorenzy September 1, 2016 at 4:07 pm #

    There’s been tremendous interest in the Alt-Right since Hillary’s speech about it – an enormous tactical mistake we are taking full advantage of. So here, you goddamn normie bastards, this is the best explanation on the web. I’m here for you if you have questions.

    • wpa_ccc September 1, 2016 at 2:54 pm #

      So, alt-right is where “white racial advocates” (WHITE SUPREMACISTS) are able to analyze “the Jewish problem” “deconstruct feminism” and “rehabilitate Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP”

      Thanks for that clarification, janos.

      • wpa_ccc September 1, 2016 at 3:02 pm #

        The German Workers’ Party name was changed by Hitler to include the term National Socialist. Thus the full name was the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP) called for short, NAZI.

        Janos is educating us about how to become a white supremacist Nazi with his storm trooper link. About how whites are victims of a vast conspiracy that will result in their nonviolent extermination through race mixing. If only it were true.

        The truth is janos plays with statistics, as if a decrease in the percentage of white people is proof of “extermination of whites.”

        If we look at US census results, we see that whites comprised 75.1% of the total US population in 2000, and 72.4% in 2010 — giving the impression that whites have declined in number.

        But if we look at the actual population numbers we see that, between the ten years, the total number of whites actually rose from 211,460,626 to 223,553,265.

  134. wpa_ccc September 1, 2016 at 3:14 pm #

    Mr. Trump is a white supremacist. His rallies are as white as KKK rallies. His methods of criticizing, suppressing and banning the press from his rallies are reminiscent of Hitlerian methods.

    Repeating lies over and over: My first day, the first hour, those people are out of here, so fast your head will spin. Trust me.

    But when got onto the world stage to look presidential, he froze up. He wasn’t even able to tell Nieto to his face that the wall would be built and Mexico will pay for it. That message is reserved for chumps in the USA.

    If you chose G, you’re correct. Trump may not sleep much, but he eats enough for ten people, maybe more, and Mexicans make a mean Philly Cheese Steak if you don’t mind the jalapeños.

    JANOS AND WHITE EXTINCTION

    A white extinction scenario is any of several doomsday scenarios describing Caucasians or some demographic group associated with white people (typically Westerners, Protestants or Christians) would be heading towards a demographic crisis becoming a minority in some or all countries, possibly followed by extinction.

    These scenarios are a kind of framing used to promote white supremacy or similar movements as self-defense, by describing non-whites, non-Christians and/or non-Westerners (notably Arabs, Hispanics and black people depending on context) as the aggressors in a clash of races or civilizations. When it comes to Arabs or Muslims, claims about white extinction might be associated with the Eurabia scenario.

    These scenarios can draw a parallel with genocides that have really happened, such as the Holocaust.

    A similar canard focuses on the perceived decline in specific genetic traits associated with white people, such as blue eyes or blonde hair, rather than “the white race” itself.

    • Janos Skorenzy September 1, 2016 at 9:57 pm #

        As Donald Trump Calls for Wall on Mexican Border, Smugglers Dig Tunnels

        During his immigration speech Wednesday in Arizona, Mr. Trump said his border security plan would use the best technology, including above- and below-ground sensors to “find and dislocate tunnels and keep out criminal cartels.”

        But no technology exists to reliably detect the tunnels, and experts say it may be years before such a system is developed.

        Since the first drug tunnel was discovered in 1990 in Douglas, Ariz., border officials say they have found nearly 200 more along the nearly 2,000-mile Southwest border, mostly in Arizona and California. Tunnels are so numerous in the Nogales area that Border Patrol agents described the ground underneath the city as “Swiss cheese.”

    TRUMP’S HISPANIC ADVISORS RESIGN OVER SPEECH

    Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is quickly losing some of his Hispanic advisers and supporters after a hardline anti-undocumented immigrant speech on Wednesday.

    Jacob Monty, an immigration lawyer based in Houston, withdrew his support, and at least two other members of Trump’s National Hispanic Advisory Council have followed suit.

    Monty said Trump’s speech made him question whether the businessman even wants to win.

    “Maybe this is part of a media play where he wants to create a media empire that will focus on the millions of nativists that believe that the country needs to control immigration,” he said Thursday to Craig Melvin on MSNBC Live, “And if that’s his play, it will be good and he’ll have millions of followers. But he won’t win the presidency.”

      Let ’em go, Mr. Trump!

      This race is more important than the right to be a puppet in the Oval Orifice. This is a gut test of whether White America even has the collective will to live. Declaring that IT WILL BE HEARD and will NOT lay down any longer to that tyrannical demigod called, “Diversity.”

      Trump should double-down and hire either Pat Buchanan or David Duke to be his speech writer. Trump has got to stop with the limp wristed pandering that he sometimes does, and finally give a clear voice to the disenfranchised Silent Majority. He will actually have to teach White America how to be White America again! The art and life of being a civilized White Christian American has been suppressed for decades now. The cowering to Jews and their political siege engines (blacks, Muslims, fags, freaks, gullible Xtians) has got to stop.

      This is more than about Trump. Whether he makes good on his promises, or not, isn’t the point. The point is to see whether White America even has the guts to even vote for the propaganda that speaks to their secret grievances. If The Donald is defeated, then the Silent Majority has just committed mass suicide.

      The future bodes far far worse for us than for Europe after the fall of Rome in the 5th century. The Catholic Church gave structure and purpose for the people during the medieval centuries and held things together until the Renaissance. Unlike medieval times, there is no such benevolent force to hold civilization together as ZOG Amerika crumbles and falls; in real time.

    The solution to our “drug problem” is extremely simple: just legalize the damn stuff. Of course, we won’t. We won’t because those making obscene profits from drugs control and/or influence those officials who have the ability to legalize them.

    Drug moguls deposit much of their money in banks. The banksters tell senators and congressional reps not to initiate legalization legislation. End of story. Corruption is so rampant that we can no longer tell who is an honest person.

    For me, I wouldn’t touch the stuff. I don’t want to pollute myself any more than what the physical environment has already done to me. If someone else feels the need to use, I believe I don’t have the right to tell that person to not ingest – unless it presents a danger to me.

    Something else has been trending lately, but it is probably of interest to only the elocutionist or literary-inclined among us.

    Do tell how the adverb, determiner and pronoun “more” has been transformed, in an increasing variety of avant-garde as well as conventional forums, into “moar?”

    Additionally, just a few entries above , a CFN poster with the non-pronounceable handle: ZrCrypDiK, has included the term “poaster” for a CFNer.

    I rather like it as it conveys a casual je-ne-sais-quoi, as well as being playfully contradictory, and exudes an immature, rebellious, not-so-subtle contempt for convention.

    Does anyone have inside information/confirmation on this trend of the disintegration of written and spoken language and that it apparently correlates with the disintegration of the civilization.

    Or perhaps those destroying a perfectly great language are just being keyute?

    Where is Mr. Q. Shtick when we need him?

    • Elrond Hubbard September 2, 2016 at 8:36 am #

      My advice: relax. The language is always changing, always has been and always will be. Just as there will always be people fretting about how the language is being “destroyed” because of novelties, slang, or usages they just don’t recognize.

      The Internet has been a hotbed of language innovation because that’s where the culture has been for the past couple of decades. Because typing isn’t the best medium for non-verbal communication, people have tried all kinds of ways to get across their subtext as well as their text, and some have caught on. Creatively respelling ‘more’ conveys approval with a kind of antic excess: ‘Moar! MOAR!’

      Today’s English is a giant mish-mash: traces of its Anglo-Saxon original mixed with French, Latin/Greek, and spare vocabulary rummaged from a hundred other languages besides. It will never be pure and doesn’t need to be, as long as it’s used well.

    “Trump should double-down” –JiminFlorida

    Sorry, Charlie. Trump today has made a change again, the seventh change in his position on immigration. After his hard line speech in Phoenix, Trump is once again softening his position.

    Trump must give immediate citizenship to undocumented immigrants if he hopes to win the election. I am glad he is moving in that direction.

    As Trump said, he can work with immigrants and crack down on employers. Trump needs to have a deportation force for company owners and send them back to Ireland, England, Scotland, Germany, Poland, or wherever their families originally came from before they started illegally hiring and underpaying immigrants.

    $15 an hour should be the minimum wage for immigrant workers. That is what I pay those who work for me.

    • JimInFlorida September 2, 2016 at 7:12 am #

      Now your last sentence is where I completely agree with you!

      The surest way to suppress the economic advantage of immigrants is to ensure that the $15.00/hr minimum wage is applied to them, FIRST!

      Heck yeah! The Department of Labor and NLRB have been adrift with no purpose and now is the time for them to become activist engines of Organized Labor. Go to every company and farm camp and promote Card Check to get them organized. It should cost MORE to hire an illegal than a real White American.

      Because illegals aren’t under the same whip as White America, it should be easier to organize them. Get every single immigrant labor union its own dedicated Jew lawyer and let Economics 101 run its course. Pretty soon, beleaguered White America will start looking mighty attractive compared to immigrants, which will be overpriced by DECREE.

    Pirates of Silicon Valley

    That was the name of the movie which was conceived as a hard, tragic film about the rivalry of computer technologies, and resulted in a quite toothless flick about the rivalry between Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.

    It also included the line about the transition from 286 to 386 architecture.

    This transition had played an important role not only in relations between Gates and Jobs, but also became one of the reasons for the breakup of Yugoslavia, which at the beginning of the 80th became the world leader in the personal computer making.

    So Bill Gates sold to IBM Disk Operating System (DOS) which he didn’t have, and he had to steal DOS that he has already sold from Digital Research. That lead to a real war, details of which I now can not remember, but Digital Research released a new DOS, which it called DR-DOS, and that was much better than the one that Gates sold to IBM, but he blocked its use on his computers, violating antitrust legislation.

    In general, as always with modern capitalism, the product quality did not play a big role and the warring parties were reconciled in court, because Microsoft paid Digital Research such compensation, which was several times higher than the money that it could get for their DR-DOS under the war with Microsoft.

    But this was not the end, and when Gates released his Windows, they just came in two versions: one was idiotic rubbish, resulting in attempts to hide the theft of someone else’s code by its rewriting, and the other which worked well, but it was almost pure code stolen from the Digital. So they have since two lines, and only XP managed to partially overcome shitheadiness of Bill Gates, at the cost of extreme vulnerability to all kinds of viruses that crawl into holes left from attempts to dock code stolen from two different companies and therefore not amenable to integration.

    JiminFlorida, where’s a good area down there to spend the winter surfcasting and fishing off piers? From your earlier posts I take it Miami – Ft Lauderdale is not the place to be. The Keys? Treasure Coast? I got to get out of here this winter, that’s for certain. I’m even thinking about Cuba.

      You should consider visiting the Dominican Republic.

      Great beaches, hot chicas, terrific food plus it is inexpensive for Yanquis.

      Also soldiers. police and private security everywhere to ensure things remain calm. But do remain vigilant and careful; certain places should not be visited.

      The natives are charming, they hate Haitians, did I mention the chicas? and the entire country seems to be quite a close approximation of what the USSA is going to look like in 2050. Swirl.

      Hey BRH,

      I can only speak for Brevard County, since I live here. If there is a good thing to brag about, I’d say we have very good pier fishing and surf casting. Sebastian Inlet is premium fishing because of the strong tidal flows. Sebastian, Jetty Park, Playalinda, and lots of fishing piers along the Atlantic and on the lagoon side of the barrier islands. Along our coast and inland waterways are parks and nature conservation lands.

      To combat the out-of-control condo blight and sprawl, we had visionary leaders who created natural conservation areas in the County and established an agency (Environmentally Endangered Lands) to manage them. Of all government programs, it is worth every tax penny we spend for it! It is all that stands between us and the suburban cancer that plagues most of Florida.

      I haven’t been to Indian River County south of us very much but, they also have lots of good ocean surfcasting like you’re looking for. Just stay well north of the Miami Metro cancer and you should find lots of good fishing.

    One man’s very reasonable response to very unreasonable behaviour. Racists take note, because this is how you look.

    ’Thanks for your ignorance:’ Edmonton actor Jesse Lipscombe posts video with man’s racist slurs

    “An actor and former high-jump champion who confronted someone yelling racial slurs — all of which was caught on video — says he would like to thank the man.

    “‘What he did has given me and my city and the country an opportunity to talk about something that needs to be talked about,’ said Jesse Lipscombe, 36, in an interview Thursday.

    “‘He helped lift up the rug for those who thought there weren’t any critters under it and helped clean house.'”

      Dat Ray Siss!

      Lets talk about the great Canadian unmentionable subject: First Nations.

      Caucasians, Asians, Blacks, Hinus, Yzlamix and everyone else, with the exception of First Nations peoples, are immigrants to the Great White North (dat be ray siss 2;) but please observe how the people of the First Nations are not even acknowledged as existing – just not on the radar – hidden from view.

      Watch some CTV or CBC and tell me how many First Nations people are portrayed in programming or in commercials as opposed to African-Canadians. You would think that Canada is is on par with Mississippi or Newark, New Jersey with a very great number of blacks.

      We should all know by now it’s just NWO propaganda; and that is what I hate the most.

    malthuss said: If a drunk or stoned driver kills me, guess it doesnt matter what their drug was.

    This, folks, is how you know this Avatar above is an imposter and part of the Honeytrap Ozone mentions. Legalize all drugs and regulate them just like America does with alcohol. Addicts will be addicts — making something illegal, as has been proven by the nearly fifty-year-old War On Drugs initiated by Nixon, doesn’t stop the addicts. A certain percentage of people are addictive personalities. Think of all the Wall Street Fuckfaces addicted to Greed. How come Greed isn’t illegal? On Wall Street, everyday, a bevy of souls are destroyed from overdosing on Greed.

    The money going as aid from America to Mexico to allegedly “fight” their War On Drugs is actually being used to snuff out competition for the Too Big To Fail Cartels. The government is owned by The Cartels in Mexico. Wall Street relies on illicit drug profits to keep it afloat. Without the illicit profits from the drug trade, the Recession of 2008, which is still ongoing in my opinion, would be a Depression. The Clintons are good friends with their drug dealing pal, Nieto who failed in his attempt the other day to lure The Donald into an assassination ambush in Mexico.

    The War On Drugs is the War For Illegal Drugs. It has only served to strengthen the illegal drug trade over the years, and that’s by design. It’s plainly obvious if you just stop believing in the grown-up version of Santa Claus.

    malthuss and his ilk merely want to replace the current Tyranny with their own Tyranny where they’re at the top of the pyramid and they get to call the shots for everyone. It’s why I don’t take their criticism of the current Tyranny seriously. Tyrants have no business criticizing Tyrants.

  153. Cold N. Holefield September 2, 2016 at 9:48 am #

    You know how you can tell a Government Agent posting as Sock Puppets to comments sections at various venues? They won’t criticize the War On Drugs and advocate for legalization & regulation and they won’t criticize the Alphabet Agencies & The National Security State. Tyrants are a lot like Zebras — they have Stripes for Life, and those Stripes show regardless of how cleverly they think they’ve hidden them their Body Art. It’s how I know this comments section is teeming with them, or it’s several cross-organizational colleagues using multiple socks to control the narrative.

    Post Clinton’s era in the United States

    Two and a half months ago, I wrote that Hillary Clinton made a coup d’etat and seized power in the United States. That was expressed in irresistible urge by President Barack Obama to play golf, as well as his sudden endorsement of Hillary’s presidential bid and sharp deterioration of US-Russian relations, mainly in Syria.

    It came to an unprecedented open letter to President Obama by leading employees of the State Department – the fiefdom of Hillary Clinton. In this letter they demanded essentially to declare a war on Russia in Syria, by the introduction of no-fly zone, and it was created.

    But this idea ended with Kurdish three-move-play which resulted in effective Secretary-Of-State-President in one person Hillary Clinton got the check-mate, and now the United States must choose between supporting the Kurds or Turkey’s membership in NATO

    We’re talking about a complete failure of three hundred years of the “Great Game” and apparently the UK, or rather absolute monarchy of the Great Britain has already understood and accepted, and now there is an attempt to damage-control the effects of the changes in geopolitics.

    Such a failure would certainly affect the course of the election campaign in the US, and I personally do not take Hillary Clinton any more as a threat to humanity. The old woman periodically suffers from head shakes and suddenly falls into a stupor in the middle of election speeches, and for the last two weeks she totally disappeared from the television.

    By and large I even feel a little sorry for her, but that is not enough to forget that we are talking about the Iron Lady, who has already once stood from the grave on the New Year’s Eve of 2013.

    On the other hand one can not but admit that the American media has already entered a post-Clinton era and there is a sly discussion of the problems, which are incompatible with Clinton political correctness.

    Recall that on the eve of the Hillary’s coup, which conditionally can be considered the peak of her power, the struggle between the supporters of Trump and supporters of Hillary Clinton resulted in a struggle of editorial policies of two editions: “Foreign policy” and the “National Interest”.

    In short, the “Foreign policy” is voicing those forces in the United States and the world that since the days of Woodrow Wilson and the Colonel House worked for the demise of the Russian Empire, one form of which was Soviet Union, and now is Putin’s Russia.

    Well, the “National Interest” now de facto is a joint venture of such disparate “allies” as Roosevelt’s America and America of Richard Nixon, who, after the horrific US military defeat in Korea and Vietnam found the strength to admit the fiasco and signed the Paris agreement in conjunction with the SALT-1 treaty, but could not withstand the deadening gaze of Hillary Clinton and signed his resignation after the Watergate scandal.

    Not surprisingly, these two magazines after the failure of Hillary Clinton to become a first dictator of the United States, serve as a forum to discuss prospects for the development after the collapse of the Clinton era, which includes not only the past 30 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but also the process of the collapse of the USSR, which, as it is clear now, entered its terminal stage just after the Watergate scandal, that removed from the leadership of the United States the people who favored cooperation with the Russian Empire (by and large the collapse of the USSR began with the success of the Khrushchev conspiracy)

    And yesterday the pro-Clinton “Business insider” remembered an article in “Foreign policy” from 2011, which is called Everything You Think You Know About the Collapse of the Soviet Union Is Wrong, which states that the beloved liberal pederasts liberasts legend – that the Soviet Union collapsed as a result of drop in oil prices, to put it mildly is not true. And in no less pro-Clinton Forbes appears an article, which is called Infuriating News For Saudi Arabia: Russia Refuses To Play Oil Game which in conjunction with the first article in “Foreign policy” implies that the attempt to apply to Russia trick that allegedly worked in the 80s in the application to the collapse of the Soviet Union, this time gave the opposite result and with non-zero probability will lead to the disintegration of Saudi Arabia – the main sponsor of Hillary Clinton.

      Finca,
      Lots of fanciful supposition there (…thrown up against the wall to see what sticks). However, there is one actual knock-on effect of the Hillary-for-Empress phenomena: Complete destruction of the credibility of “The Press”. From now forward, the “news” media in the US will be considered to be on par with Pravda of the late Soviet Union era. That is a beneficial result for most of the lumpen; while your shots-in-the-dark are [in reality] not.

    Is it as serious as the Zika Virus? If so, maybe the CDC should be in charge of battling the Russians.

    If it’s so serious, why did The Clintons facilitate The Russians purchasing a significant ownership stake in American Uranium Mines?

      I only half-heartedly joke about wpa being a tenured Jewish female professor of Women’s Studies. I have her psychological profile nailed down! My only guess is which college she teaches. I suggest that she teaches at Bryn Mawr. A hard core rat’s nest of militant feminism but not the only one.

      The point is that she genuinely believes in her bullshite. That is what’s so offensive. There ARE professors in our worthless college system who also BELIEVE as she does! Her insane viewpoint saturates Academe and is proof that America is beyond hope. All we can do is feed on the corpse.

        Sorry JiminFla – the bizarreness that is wpa_ccc must somehow belong, I strongly believe, to that most famous bastion of Marxist-Feminist lunatic battalions: Mount Holyoke College of Massachusetts.

            Naw, wpa is a female without a doubt. Her writing style just flat gives her away.

            She’s not Asian or Latino. She is an overeducated Semitic Jewish professor of Women’s Studies where her batshit crazy views will be protected. She has marched in plenty of LGBTQ marches and probably chained herself to some Planned Parenthood clinic to keep it from being closed by nefarious Republican types. “wpa_ccc” actually believes in her B.S.

            Now, as to which college wpa teaches in, I first suggested that she is a faculty member of Bryn Mawr. “pequiste” came up with an even better guess, Mount Holyoke College in MA.

            I don’t think a Government troll could muster up the kind of wild imagination that wpa_ccc has amply demonstrated!

    “An actor and former high-jump champion … ” — Elrond Hubbard

    Because lionizing actors and athletes, like the Romans lionized gladiators , is something we need even more of.

    “I walk over to the car and open the door and try and ask him to say it again to my 6’3, 260 lb face, ”

    — The actual relevant part in an article Elrond Hubbard linked to.

    Hmm, why did the guy mention his 6’3 and 260 lbs ? That relates to his point in what way ?

    Notice that whatever point this Hubbard guy is supposedly making, the ( usually indirectly implied ) prescription is ;

    Force.
    Force.
    And more force.

    Which will no doubt require a very large and very complex bureaucracy.

    Forget that you are on a blog where one of the key ideas is that increasing complexity leads to diminishing returns.

    We like hanging around with people, and in places, wholly unamicable to us.

    • Elrond Hubbard September 2, 2016 at 9:24 pm #

      The actual point of the article, and of my posting it, was to point out that aggression (‘force’) was directed against Jesse Lipscombe — i.e., the guy in the car who shouted the slur was the aggressor — and that the aggressor felt free to act as he did because he expected no consequences.

      Mr. Lipscombe kept his cool, but still had enough self-respect to approach the aggressor and take him to task, entirely peacefully, for his aggression, rather than simply accept the slur as part of his day. Now the aggressor is properly shamed in public for the way he acted. That’s what shame is for, by the way.

      Yet by the time parties on this blog have had their say, the topic is no longer the guy in the car who gets his jollies tossing slurs out the window at passing strangers, but the threat that Jesse Lipscombe (Janos’ “Orc soldier”) represents to — I dunno, to public order?

      That’s some weird psycho-social jiu-jitsu right there.

        Twitter is an enabler of what Kevin Kelly affectionately & naively calls The Swarm. I learned that from the book you suggested that I’m now reading, The Internet Is Not The Answer by Andrew Keen. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Haven’t you read the Trump propaganda? The woman is on her death bed! Of course, she has traveled 956,733 miles during her time as Secretary of State and met with 112 world leaders.

    Trump has met with one leader and then lied about what they discussed and then was thoroughly denounced by the whole country he visited.

    I think the War On Drugs has been a disaster. I advocate for legalization. See Michael Moore’s movie, WHERE TO INVADE NEXT, to see how the War on Drugs was a strategy to continue slavery in the United States. Millions of Blacks are imprisoned falsely and forced to work for nothing: slavery continues because of the War on Drugs. And when they are released, if they are released, there right to vote is taken away, so millions of Blacks are disenfranchised, just like in slavery.

    I know we complain and whine a lot around here and don’t take nearly enough time to convey the wonderful things life has to offer, so I want to take this time to do just that.

    I’ve been enjoying the last couple of days the best god-damned Honeydew Melon I’ve ever had in my life. I mean it — it is, by far & away, the best damn melon I’ve ever eaten. I now know why it’s called Honeydew — it quite literally tastes like Honey — the Food of the Gods.

    Also, if you’ve never tried this, I highly suggest it. Kale is an excellent leafy green loaded with nutrients but it’s difficult to eat, in my opinion. You have to add a lot of seasoning to make it palatable and it can be rather tough & chewy. A remedy for that is to slather it in some Sriracha Sauce, or some Olive Oil and salt & pepper if you prefer, and bake it at 350 degrees until it’s crispy. It is to die for when you use this method — an awesome & nutritious snack with plenty of fiber to keep you regular if you have issues with that.

    • elysianfield September 2, 2016 at 6:15 pm #

      Cold,
      Regarding Kale…

      Slice into long thin strips(1/4-1/2″), across the vertical axis…cut up a single slice of bacon…1″ squares will do it. Heat the bacon, in the saucepan, on low, until translucent. Add enough water for cooking the kale without scorching…add the kale and slowly heat to a light boil. Serve up the whole mess, with the juice. The bacon is the trick, and can be used with any course greens…turnip, beet, mustard, collard, etc. Perfect vehicle for hot sauces…and very easy to eat. This is a Ghetto Recipe…generically called “greens”.

      brh

      • Cold N. Holefield September 3, 2016 at 8:07 am #

        Thanks. Let me know how it turns out. You can store it once it’s baked for a day or two, but you have to bake it again to get it crispy. Crispy is the key — it disintegrates in your mouth when it’s crispy. Hardly any chewing which is great for anyone with dentures.

        Ozone, I hear ya about the spine in Kale — you can make rope out of it just like you can Hemp, but baking it breaks those powerful bonds completely.

        As far as Greens are concerned and cooking them with a Ham Hock, yeah, I know all about that via my wife’s family. She’s from the Deep South — as far South as you can go without traveling to the southern tip of Florida which, oddly enough, doesn’t share Deep South culture. Southern Florida is odd, culturally. Quite an eclectic mix. I know, I lived there once upon a time. I miss the Gators — the REAL ones, not the football team.

        Back to Greens — I love them, especially with this awesome homemade Cornbread recipe my wife makes. I, once upon a time, didn’t like cornbread mainly because I was exposed to lousy renditions of it until my wife found this recipe a couple of decades prior. Now, I love it, especially with Greens. Yeah, it’s Soul Food. A steady diet of Greens will add six inches to your dick whether you need it or not. When I eat it, I’m transformed into a …….

Morally these people are an abomination but their disdain for the intelligence of the ordinary man is completely on target. People are exploited because they can be exploited. The can be exploited because they as dumb as rocks and/or gullible as the day is long. Smarts don’t help minus street smarts. The added IQ then just adds to the stupidity.

    I had a dream… No, really…

    You know how it is. I woke up – and here is a dream: bright, colorful, with wind gusts and smells. But after five minutes, and it starts to fade, fluctuate and disappear, and you frantically trying to remember the details, keep in mind the wondrous charm of this dream, which is like a whole life.

    And you start to fill in the gaps between the details with words, and as a result there are only these words, or rather the story that you have time to come up with about this dream, until it finally disappears.

        I tried to be friends with him but he disdained me because I wore corduroy pants sometimes and not the blue jeans that are part of his tribal uniform.

        My ancestors were fusiers and I always buy corduroy at the Goodwill. They were a new used pair, but still not good enough for him.

        So I took to keeping an eye on him with the binos. My skill in the woods came in handy as well (he’s noisy as hell btw). I’m not proud of it, but at one point I got a long extension cord and set up a microwave oven beaming at his abode 24/7 from the woods. This may have altered his brain, but hell, this is a guy in contract with aliens. No one can prove (add italics) that I’m responsible considering all the drugs, rock and roll, and alien beams and injections he’s undergone and imbibed.

    Men, what do you need air carriers for?

    What are the strategic and tactical goals performs aircraft carrier, US aircraft carrier in particular? Ownership of the World Ocean and particularly maritime trade routes of the world.

    The tactical problem is bullying the Papuans and their own allies in the coastal areas of the world. In real battles air carriers were not tested and most likely, they are NOT INTENDED FOR WAR.

    New Russian Cruise Missiles Exceed Mach 4

    The Russians claim the new KH-32 is virtually invulnerable to interception because it flies at an unheard of speed of 3355 mph, or Mach 4.4. It also flies high, up to a height of 130,000 feet, powered by a combination of an initial solid-fuel rocket motor, followed by a scramjet.

    At this altitude, there are no adversary fighters or missiles. The KH-32 can fly up to 620 miles before diving towards its target and place an 1100-pound warhead with an accuracy of a few meters.

    The KH-32 is also said to be guided by an inertial navigation system that is not affected by electronic warfare.

    Russian military watchers say the new weapon will be perfect for attacking carrier strike groups.

    According to Russia Beyond The Headlines or RBTH, no Russian or foreign missile defense system today can detect an incoming KH-32.

            No idea. Goering thought Eisenhower was a Jew. And apparently, many Jews served in Hitler’s army according to the documentary “The Greatest Story Never Told.

            Most people like you identify as Jews. You are rare. Society has played you a terrible tvick. No wonder you seek perfect peace beyond all things by not identifying with anything. You probably find yourself identifying with Jews in a very subtle way and have to fight against it. Whites, being the newest race, are still not firmly established and are thus the weakest at the seminal and genetic levels. That the Judaism in on your father’s side probably helps – and is why they don’t consider you a Jew.

            I don’t even remotely consider my heritage as Jewish…German, yes. I honestly never had enough interest in the question to take the time and effort to find out…but I expect there may be a Red Sea Pedestrian in the woodpile somewhere.

            Your favorite issues and mine align at many points, but I always consider content of character above race or religion…or politics. Some issues should not be openly identified with in “polite company”. I will not be forthcoming on some of the more contentious third-rail questions…unless it is just between you and I…and the NSA.

    Donald Trump is a regular Republican lying politician

    WASHINGTON ? Donald Trump once denounced his Republican primary opponents as being “totally in cahoots” with the unlimited-money super PACs supporting their campaigns. But that was then, and this is now. This week, Trump announced he hired the man whose activism literally led to the creation of super PACs, and whose most recent gig was leading a pro-Trump super PAC.

    That man is David Bossie. The longtime head of the conservative nonprofit Citizens United is now Trump’s deputy campaign manager. Yes, that Citizens United.

    Every story seems to reference salami…Soviet grey salami, unaffordable import salami…can you elaborate? Was salami the primary source of protein for the average Russian?

      Before Khrushchev’s monetary reform of 1961 the food distribution in the USSR was very good – plenty of natural, very affordable produce, including excellent salami – the best was (and sill is) of the Mikoyan factory – I sill remember the taste. Much better than anything I ever tasted in US. In addition, every April Soviet Government lowered prices on certain items, like milk, butter, eggs.

      After 1961, in just few years, Khrushchev managed to totally destroy the private farming and fucked up food distribution system beyond recognition – it only recovered now, under Putin. That all happened before my eyes.

      Khrushchev played same role in the history of USSR as H. Clinton, God save, would play is she ever gets to the White House – she would destroy the remains of US economy in order to preserve the international banking system and transnational corporations.

      • JimInFlorida September 3, 2016 at 3:30 pm #

        Finc, if you saw the Khrushchev era, first hand, then that makes you a very VALUABLE historic witness!

        Your account is puzzling because U.S. propaganda made Khrushchev (NK) appear good because he de-Stalinized the USSR. We all know that the Russian space program was launched under NK’s rule and restrictions on political speech appeared to be loosened. At least, THAT’S what we were told.

        Thus, to the average Cold War era American student in school, it made no sense to us when the Politburo threw him out.

        The only answer could be that America’s own propaganda was better and more sophisticated than what was fed to the average Russian. This is the first time that I’ve heard these charges of NK’s mismanagement of the food distribution system.

        As far as NK’s monetary reforms, I smell a Rothchild bankster demanding improved performance on Russian bonds and NK did as he was told to maintain the Kremlin’s creditworthiness for foreign credit.

    Yesterday afternoon, Friday, Sept. 2nd, a CBS reporter named Hannah Chanpong tweeted out that a Clinton insider told her that at least some of Clinton’s staff was resigning in the wake of yesterday’s release by the FBI over worries that Clinton may drop out of the race.

    The tweet was quickly taken down as Miss Chanpong had perhaps not fully recognized that CBS supports Clinton; it does not release damaging stories about her until forced to do so to maintain some semblance of competition with their peers, NBC and ABC.

    Here is a screenshot of the actual tweet.

      • JimInFlorida September 3, 2016 at 7:58 pm #

        Yep, I predicted a few months back that we will very likely experience an election crisis where both candidates will be forced to bow out.

        Without a doubt, buried deep in the Bush-Obama Police State are laws that will enable Obama to appoint VP Biden as the first appointed POTUS.

        I’m sure Obama will go through the motions of asking Congress to rubber-stamp the appointment in the same way they sometimes accept a Presidential nomination of a Supreme Court Justice. They will go along because both Corporation Ruling Parties are dysfunctional to the point where it cannot be hidden any longer.

        To placate We Teh Sheep, and disarm any protest against this new action, TPTB will grant us a fairly quiet and decent 2017 under Appointed President Biden. In 2018, Uncle Joe Biden will quietly have his Title changed to CEO. It will then be used in the MSM as though it’s always been that way.

        Then we’ll get the propaganda to do away with the awful circus of Presidential elections. There’s no shortage of reasons to do away with the popular election of the POTUS and the next two years will be orchestrated to convince us of that. Since we’re already dejure slaves, we might as well make it official.

    Well, you know what they say, do not enter the yellow box unless your exit is clear. So I wonder, is the shitbirders’ exit clear? They better hope. I mean, look at who the paymasters are. The Oligarchs are narcissists engorged and full to bursting with themselves like walking, talking aneurysms.

The people they let in have no hope in hell, not of finding good-paying work, nor making themselves a life. They’ll be in the worst neighborhoods, in the clutches of predatory gangsters and nutcase jihadists just like in the old country. They’ll save their lives and pine for their old lives in the old country at the same time. You ask, was the purpose of it to create a desperate, low-wage underclass like illegals in the U.S.? To ask the question is to answer it.

    And these people, grateful as they are now for the immediate relief aren’t going to be so grateful after five years of living hand-to-mouth on hand-outs and especially when their little kids become teens, absorbing the licentious ways of their German counterparts. Especially the girls.

    The Anglo Establishment imported millions of Irish Catholic workers into the United States despite the fact that Americans looked down on and/or feared them. And despite knowing the Irish felt the same way about them. Were the Elite secret Catholics or in some way in thrall to the Vatican as Conspiracy Theorists of the time opined? By no means. The Truth was even stranger and darker: they just wanted cheap labor. They shared the prejudices of the common American – they just didn’t care. Or to put it another way: they looked down on the average America just as much as they did the Catholic Irishman and had no qualms about displacing their own people. They simply didn’t identify with them anymore in any way.

    Now since the Elite haven’t changed in their viewpoint, they naturally assume they can keep doing the same. Underlings are underlings and scum are scum. But not all scum are created equal. And Hispanics will not fit in as well as the Catholic Irish ultimately did.

    The Higher Elite, the Judeo-Masons have changed somewhat in that now they are frankly and openly globalist in their policies. They have no doubt calculated the fall of America into their plans and they are good with it. They also know that all races aren’t created and equal – and thus want to dumb White America down with coloreds.

    US Media media slowly but surely beginning to sabotage the campaign of the Queen of the Flying Monkeys

    In the current situation, the campaign goes into the shadows, where Trump will try to convince Hillary’s sponsors that she would kill them as well as everyone else. What are the arguments he used in reality I do not know, but I think that the inevitability of nuclear war with such president was not on the last place in the list, especially since Hillary in her manner to pervert any logic inside out has accused Trump not only in that he was a Putin spy, but also that he is extremely unbalanced and as president could use nuclear weapons first, simply because he gets upset about something.

    As you can imagine, such negotiations can go for a long time and as long as negotiations last nothing significant happens in public view. But Trump is obviously an excellent negotiator and some of the Hillary sponsors decided to dump her.

    They just decided to do it gradually, and this week Trump caught up with Hillary in the ratings, and the media is slowly but surely beginning to sabotage the campaign of the Queen of the Flying Monkeys.

    And this is especially evident in the art of the title. For example an article about demographic change titled:

    If Clinton wins, 2016 will be ‘last election’

    http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/294283-bachmann-if-clinton-wins-2016-will-be-last-election

    When the Father of the Nation, the Russian Tsar was murdered in 1917, the Nation, as a Family, had gone orphaned – the mother took on drinking, the sons mixed up in drugs and thievery, the daughters went whoring.

    Stalin was not a Loving Father, but a Stern Stepfather. He ruled with a heavy hand, but the mother stopped drinking, the sons got the factory jobs and the daughters quit whoring and got married.

    U.S. propaganda made Khrushchev (NK) appear good == JimInFla

    It was Khrushchev who was behind the anti-Semitic Doctors’ plot of 1951 – 53, the result of which 75 year old Stalin was left without qualified medical assistance, and my father was fired with the kick to the ass from his job.

    And the anti-Semitism under Khrushchev flourished and played a crucial role – enough to remember when there was a drastic deterioration in Israel’s relations with the state, which has played a crucial role in its creation.

    And yet we must remember when the Soviet Union started to support the Middle Eastern ODESSA, such as obvious Nazi Gamal Abdel Nasser, whom Khrushchev awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union.

    Khrushchev Nomenklatura has shown that they did not piss words around and were not talking for nothing about the delivery of the USSR to Hitler for later “liberation” of the United States.

    And all because it was not enough for them to live under their personal communism, they needed all the rest to live in slums, and did not walk with them the same streets, to be killed by black realtors and fooled by financial pyramids. The Nazis are Nazis regardless of the ethnicity.

    The most interesting thing is that everything is the same in United States, but that’s a completely different story.

    I’m hearing rumors about clowns, snippets on the radio news when I’m barely paying attention, my nieces talking in hushed worried tones to one another about clowns creeping thru neighborhoods clutching knives, clowns luring children into woodlots … what’s going on?

    These aren’t happy clowns like in the circus. These clowns apparently are malicious, and evil. They wish us harm.

    Clowns running amok in the cities and towns across the United States. Clowns hiding in the shadows. You go to the unlit bus stop, next to you on the bench is a clown, and he’s leering in your direction. A car pulls up alongside you at a stoplight; behind the wheel is a clown. You summon Uber, the driver is a clown. Do you get in the car, or run away?

    Is ‘The Insane Clown Posse’ extant? Once in awhile ‘Killer Clowns from Outer Space’ gets a screening at our local TV station. I’ve watched it several times, and I know what these clowns are capable of.

    I’m driving out of this city 3:00, 4:00 in the morning, every morning. So far i haven’t seen any clowns, just ghouls and vampires walking the streets. From now on I will be watching for clowns.

          No. As the Alchemists say, before one can profitably put things together, they must be separated. King is one of the greatest storytellers of out times. That he is a rat bastard politically doesn’t change that. Or even if he is as a person.

          Or perhaps you don’t like the horror genre? That’s fine, but you are then disqualified to judge the members of that set – the different writers in other words. I like horror and King is a great horror writer. Most people qualified to judge agree.

          This is the method of Philosophy – most hate it because it gets in the way of their “process” – the becoming of their fallen humanity. Philosophy is to go against the stream – much as Buddha prescribed. Taoism says to go with the stream. Is there a contradiction? No, they mean something different by “stream”. Zen lauds the uncarved block. And Masonry the well carved one. Contradiction? No, and for the same reason.

    Obamacare has improved medical care because all Obamacare plans must cover treatment for pre-existing medical conditions.

    Under Obamacare no insurance plan can reject you, charge you more, or refuse to pay for essential health benefits for any condition you had before your coverage started.

    Once you’re enrolled, the plan can’t deny you coverage or raise your rates based only on your health.

    Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) also can’t refuse to cover you or charge you more because of your pre-existing condition.

    Early voting begins in some states as soon as the end of this month. Twenty million ballots might be in the hands of voters by the end of September.

    Hillary Clinton has a very good overall data analytics operation, including early voting, and Trump’s operation is not as well set in place. Trump has mixed relationships with Republicans around the country.

    A road-fork in the form of Clinton vs Trump.

    Selecting is hard: 8 or more years to continue course that Bill Clinton took in the Saint 90s – seven troubles one answer, and watch as the putrid poison of political correctness is killing the last vestiges of common sense in politics, science and business, or to begin to maneuver and start working.

    The United States fails to explicitly close all the financial flows on itself, and to close them without any exception and offshores.

    Also, it is impossible to close the entire energy and minerals trade. After losing the US military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, even if achieve a draw in Syria, Ukraine and China’s new island to talk about global military dominance is no longer possible, it is even theoretically unachievable, even if you find and spend several trillion dollars.

    Our American friends did not get the main thing: to force on the EU and around the world new rules of international trade on their own terms. And the main enemy of the United States here is not Russia or China, but London and Brexit showed it with crystal clarity. What is most annoying that bombing London is too late; it will just jump into BRICS.

      “Brexit showed it with crystal clarity.” –finca

      No, it didn’t. Brexit only squeaked by due to lies told by the LEAVE campaign. As soon as they won, they backed off on their promises and a REMAIN campaign began to take another vote. Brexit was not “crystal clear.” It was smudged, opaque, and full of manipulative lies.

    US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has openly threatened Russia with military actions that Russian hackers allegedly hacked the US Democratic Party server and published such important strategic information, as manipulation techniques of the results of the primaries.

    I wonder what it would be if it seems that Russian hackers have hacked the server on which you can find and publish data on the methods of manipulation of US general elections, especially since her main rival, Donald Trump has long warned of such possibility.

    And if the reason for the war may become suspicions of not quite adequate old woman who after a concussion can not distinguish between “classified” on the papers sent to her from accidental hitches, how America is going to be responsible for the installation of listening device on government communications cable in Moscow and continuous listening to the most secret government communications from 1980 to 1985, when it has almost decapitated nuclear power, which was the closest and most important ally of the US in World War II?

    “not quite adequate old woman”

    Of the 17 Republican candidates and the 3 Democratic candidates, who has a resume with more executive experience, who has better qualifications, than Hillary Clinton? Who has both private sector and public sector (as a Senator and Secretary of State) experience? Who has gone through pregnancy and labor to give birth to a child? Only one candidate: Hillary Clinton. The system worked to select the best president.

      The average Black baby mama has given birth to far more babies and by different baby daddies. Now that’s Diversity in action!

      The average colored female has far more experience with the private and public sector, as well. They can run rings around Hillary Rodan on how to milk the system on both ends!

      The Maury Povich Show can provide a superior female candidate for POTUS, based on wpa’s own criteria.

    Trump Immigration Plan

    “Day one, my first hour in office, those people are gone!”

    Day two, the American economy collapses.

    Immigrants are more reassuring than refugees because there is an endpoint to their story; however they arrive, whether they are documented or not, their desires for a new life can be absorbed into the American dream or into the European narrative of civilization.”

    So according to Ho Chi Minh here, refugees and immigrants can only be non-white and can only move from non-white parts of the world to white parts.

    Hmmmmmm.

    “For people like my parents and the Syrians today, their voyages across land and sea are far more perilous than the ones undertaken by astronauts or Christopher Columbus. To those watching news reports, the refugees may be threatening or pitiful, but in reality, they are nothing less than heroic.”

    This sneering little slanty eyed boat-people stowaway is implying limply here that Neil Armstrong and Chris Colombus were white-privilege frat boys who “they didn’t build that,” while he and his simian-lookalike rice munchkin kind are really the superior races. The vermin at the New York Times hate hate hate hate the white man so much, they are dizzy with hate, they are losing it.

    And it is pure delight to watch happen.

    Trump’s campaign has been mired in xenophobia and racial controversies: Trump’s proposed ban on Muslim immigration to the United States; his habit of retweeting messages posted by white supremacists; his reluctance to denounce the support of infamous Klansman David Duke; his co-opting of Richard Nixon’s racist appeal to “the silent majority”; his suggestion that a Black Lives Matter protester “deserved to get roughed up”; and the list goes on.

    At Trump’s raucous rallies, the message is often that poor, white Americans should fear foreign workers; that black Americans should fear undocumented immigrants; that white people should fear all minorities; and that everyone should fear Muslims.

      I suppose even paying lip service to the long standing grievances of White Goy Amerika is felony thoughtcrime.

      Trump will denounce the Silent Majority when Hillary Rodan denounces the militant freaks, fags, Jewish Supremacists, Muslim Supremacists, and other noisy misfits who make up her political base.

    This race is all about direction and momentum. Trump has it, while respiratory-challenged Clinton is going into reverse with every day of her further absence on the campaign trail.

    Russia Becomes World’s No. 1 Grain Exporter, Leaving U.S. and Canada Behind

    June 16, 2016 (EIRNS)—According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Russia now leads the United States in the volume of grain exports, exporting 35 million tons 2016, which is 3.5 million more than the U.S. did, and which exceeds Canadian exports by 2 million tons. This is the first time in modern history that Russia has become the top grain exporter.

    And while Russia’s agriculture sector is expanding generally, European Union sanctions and Russian counter-sanctions have served to almost wipe out European farmers. The Russian counter-sanctions ban many agricultural imports from countries which have joined the sanctions against Russia.

    In 2014, the U.S. was the world’s No. 1 grain exporter, followed by Canada and then Russia.

    • wpa_ccc September 4, 2016 at 6:17 pm #

      Below are the 5 countries that exported the highest dollar value worth of wheat during 2015. Russia comes in at #5.

      1. Canada: US$6.2 billion (16.2% of total wheat exports)

      2. United States: $5.6 billion (14.5%)

      3. Australia: $4.4 billion (11.4%)

      4. France: $4.3 billion (11.1%)

      5. Russia: $3.9 billion (10.1%)

    Trending on the Immigration/Refugee front: a lovely story from the UK press covering some of the heartwarming wonderfulness of the “immigrants” in Calais, France who are trying to get into Britain:

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3772571/Carnage-Calais-Horrific-crash-jungle-migrant-gangs-target-tourists-cars-MoS-journalists-badly-hurt-terrifying-new-ambush-technique.html

    Illegal immigration is a cancer.
    I believe some strong radiation therapy could help.

    That old British saw still holds true: “The WOGS begin at Calais.”

    “while respiratory-challenged Clinton is going into reverse with every day of her further absence on the campaign trail.” –finca

    Finca, do you think her public absence is because she may already be dead?

    Or perhaps her public absence is due to intensive fund raising to clobber Trump, since he will not spend his own money for ads?

    It’s gonna be a slaughter with Trump emerging as the great loser.

    Soon the general crisis of capitalism will be called the triumph of freedom of speech

    …as it was called during the Watergate scandal

    First impressions from watching Sunday political programs: Hillary and her representatives are being dumped, and the crucial role in it is played by Russian politics.

    Hillary Chutzpah, who promised to declare war on Russia for exposing her manipulation of elections still remains “unnoticed”, but the performance of some politician on Russian TV, in which he, under impression by the Putin’s interview to Bloomberg.com demanded that Putin warned the US voters that by choosing Killary Americans choose war with Russia, still has made its way to the American blue screen.

    But these are just impressions, and some things are much more serious: for example, former Secretaries of State Colin Powell, James Baker, George Schultz and Henry Kissinger refused to endorse her to the position of the US president. This is particularly serious because Hillary Clinton has repeatedly called herself a student of Henry Kissinger. There remains only Condoleezza, but if she is the only one, it will make a comical impression.

    At the same time, Hillary Clinton, Hillary the Iron Lady whose steel balls with hollow sound roll from one blog to another, is looking bewildered, unable to understand why the marked Russian cards that always worked in American politics suddenly ceased to perform.

    But most importantly is that the Federal Reserve seems to seriously discuss the need to introduce negative interest rates, which means that the US economy is in really bad shape. And that deterioration happened in the last two months, since 4 months ago FED was going to raise interest rates. But bankers know best, that Hillary Clinton two months ago had seized power, and this creates uncertainty, which money don’t like.

    http://finance.yahoo.com/news/feds-janet-yellen-mulls-negative-interest-rates-183711629.html

    Well, for example, if today some shit is to happen in Syria who Putin should call – Barack Obama, who does not control anything anymore and the Chinese are openly humiliating him at the G-20, to Trump’s delight, or Hillary, who controls a lot, but does so completely illegally and calling her is the same as interfering in the internal affairs of the United States.

    And all this is called the general crisis of capitalism, but through the efforts of Hillary use of such terms is forbidden as not politically correct. How do you solve the problem, if you can not even name it?

      What is this fetish with naming? There is no magical advantage in naming a problem, nor is it necessary to name it to solve the problem.

    Here’s what’s I see out on Hartford streets when my shift ends and I’m driving home at 4:00 am.

    Lizard People, Vampires, Venusians with long forked tongues, Ghouls, Crows overhead, and packs of shrieking Hyenas. No clowns yet, but I’m still looking. Will they be just weirdos dressed up in clown suits, or something else altogether? These creepy clowns seem to be avoiding the city and lurking in small towns and rural area, only coming out after dark. Why now? Do they portend something worse? And why are they signaling to children, and avoiding adults. Its altogether unsettling, is it not?

    brh

  200. BackRowHeckler September 4, 2016 at 10:22 pm #

    Some of the Hyenas have 2 heads.

    • wpa_ccc September 4, 2016 at 10:24 pm #

      Are taverns open at that hour? After your shift do you have some drinks before driving home? It sounds like you are drunk.

      • BackRowHeckler September 4, 2016 at 11:06 pm #

        just absinthe

        • wpa_ccc September 4, 2016 at 11:32 pm #

          Absinthe does have a very high alcohol content — anywhere between 55 and 75 percent, which equates to about 110 to 144 proof. … Traditional absinthe is made of anise, fennel and wormwood … that’ll do it for ya.

        • wpa_ccc September 5, 2016 at 12:07 am #

          Is the prospect of 16 years of Clintons in the White House driving you to drink?

          • BackRowHeckler September 5, 2016 at 12:29 am #

            No, not that.

            But I’m worried about this CLOWN APOCALYPSE that might be starting right now, tonite!

            Have you seen any of these Creepy Clowns out in Grass Valley, Az, WPA?

            Even if you’re really not in Grass Valley, they will find you.

            brh

          • wpa_ccc September 5, 2016 at 12:30 am #

            I am assuming eight years of Hillary followed by eight years of Chelsea.

          • wpa_ccc September 5, 2016 at 12:33 am #

            Yes, I have seen the clowns. They wander around and end up frequenting street fairs and farmers markets in Tucson and the visit cancer hospitals. Our clowns are not at all menacing. I am not afraid of them. They are bilingual and make people laugh.

    Cats, not stupid Stephen King’s clowns – are the measure of all things

    is the slogan of Cat-Renaissance

    Godless atheists and stupid evolutionists have stolen from Abrahamic religions thesis of man – the crown of creation. Meanwhile, if you stand on the positions of atheism, the elementary observation inevitably lead to the conclusion that the most likable, intelligent, agile and freedom-loving, in general the crown of creation, sorry – evolution is a Cat!
