Something Wicked This Way Comes

 

(I HIGHLY recommend everyone read the fabulous book The Guns of August about the start of WWI)

 I have a BAD feeling right now.

Many people (including me) feel like right now is similar to the Summer of 1914. The beginning of August 1914 people were reading in the newspapers "oh, there is trouble in the Balkans, whatever". One month later the World was in the first World War and the casualties were beyond horrible. The British Expeditionary Force was one of the most experienced armies in Europe and took the field with about 50,000 men.
At one battle (The 1st Battle of the Marne) they lost 13,000 men in a few days !!
The leaders in a few months realized that the war was unwinnable yet didn't have the guts to work towards peace so it went on for 4 long years and basically destroyed Europe -- their power, money, influence was NEVER the same after that.

I see the same shit going on now, the US Empire and hegemony is collapsing. We've pissed away trillions on weapons and tactics that are obsolete and didn't invest in missile and drone technology like our adversaries have.
The US since WWII has maintained and assumed air superiority and that has changed. If the Marines tried to take Kharg Island in the Gulf today, they'd be screwed !! They'd be under constant drone and missile attack and it would be almost impossible to resupply, reinforce them or evac out the wounded.
It'd be another Gallipoli from WWI.

Warfare has had a paradigm shift and the moron retired generals on tv and the idiots advising Trump don't get it.
The World is running low on oil because there is a 20 million barrel a day deficit because the Persian Gulf is shut down. This will start effecting ALL of us and ALL of the World soon. 

The World RUNS on petroleum and an Energy War will quickly become a shooting War ! 

Rest in Hell Lindsey Graham

Rest in Hell Lindsey Graham

 

Normally I would never be happy that someone died as that is a very unChristian thing to do but in THIS case, I'll make an exception.

Lindsey Graham was an evil man who never saw a war he didn't love or profit from.

Over the decades whichever country we were discussing attacking, he was ALL for it and on the air waves spouting the most hateful rhetoric against that country. Then when the US DID attack, he was all smiles because he had done his job and his Defense industry pals and AIPAC had paid him well and he profited handsomely.

I hope that it is EXTREMELY hot where he and his war hawk buddy John McCain are right now and they have to face all of the victims of the wars they started and profited from.

An Iranian State TV host noted in a Sunday broadcast that she congratulated 'the Iranian people on the death U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been sent to hell.'

I agree. 

Why are the American people under Constant Surveillance ?

 

Why are the American people under Constant Surveillance ?

 

Everyone has been under surveillance for decades, they just don’t know it.
Now the politicians and government are dropping the masks, charade and denials and are in your face about it.
The NSA has a file on every person in this country that integrates all of this surveillance.
People don’t get that it isn’t just your phone spying constantly on you, your “smart” tv is too.
They know all of your habits, what you look at on the Internet, TV, what sports you like, what food you eat, everything.

WHY are they doing this one would ask ?
Because they know as well as many of us that the fiat currency model is headed for failure. They also know that this government in its present form (oligarchy masquerading as a democratic republic) is not going to last for long. That is why they are DESPERATE for all of these AI data centers. Oh they are for AI but that AI is for 2 purposes … activating the control grid and going to digital currency.

When those two things are activated, we will be in a digital prison with no freedom. They can control where you go, what you buy, etc.
Just ask yourself this question, if they have all of this information, they KNOW who and where ALL illegal aliens as well as criminal are yet do nothing…WHY ?

Because they don’t want to.. illegals keep wages down and are a valuable work force since many Americans sit on their ass thanks to the welfare state. Criminals keep people afraid so the dumbasses will give up more of their freedom for “safety”.

It’s coming and soon folks and I have strong doubts that we can stop it.

 

Businesses Have NO Money

 

I'm back after a LONG hiatus. My life is going well and I need to opine on what is going on these days again.

So Joe Biden wants to raise taxes on businesses.

I really believe that everyone should have to take a basic Economics 101 course in High School.
This is common sense but dummies who don’t understand basic supply and demand come up with these crazy ideas that have horrible consequences.

A good example is in California raising the minimum wage to $20/hour.
The Lefties say “good, those rich greedy business owners SHOULD be forced to pay their workers a liveable wage”. It’s the same as Biden wants business taxes to skyrocket because they are “not paying their fair share”.

What they do not get is businesses have NO money. The only money they get is by producing and selling a good or service that their customers are willing to buy. Any increase in their costs like forced employee raises or increased taxes won’t be paid by THEM rather it will be paid for by their customers with the goods or services prices being increased.

But as California fast food restaurant owners are complaining there is a limit to how much they can increase prices before their sales drop off a cliff and they go bankrupt. Few people will pay $20 for a Big Mac and if you look at the fast food chains sales, they have been dropping big time.
I see it because my local Mcdonalds is right off the interstate and at lunch time they always for years had cars stretched around the building waiting on the drive thru. Now, 4 or 5 cars in line tops. The owner of the Mcdonalds had to lay some employees off and cut back hours because business is so bad and my town is a university town where there have been no layoffs, inflation is causing this.

Men & Women ARE Different

My Response:

It is wonderful to promote science and engineering to girls and no doubt some will grow up to be scientists and engineers. However, in my opinion those 2 disciplines will NEVER have 50% women because of the fact that men and women think differently is being ignored. If you do brain scans on 10 men and women and watch real time, the men's brains all work about the same as do the women's but they are very different from each other. Heavy problem solving men excel at. Creativity and caring, women excel at. That's why a majority of young doctors and nurses are women--they excel at it. But in Engineering and certain sciences, males excel at it. My point is that instead of foolishly assuming men & women are the same, we should celebrate their differences, encourage all children to be who they wish to be when they grow up but don't be surprised when men & women naturally gravitate to different fields.

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day !!!

On this day of love, everyone always focuses on romantic love which is wonderful yet those not currently in a relationship feel sad.

Remember that there are other types of love like the love of a friend and familial love. Everyone reading this must remember that you are very loved and while you might not be in a relationship this Valentine's Day, next Valentine's Day you may be in a heavy romantic relationship and crazy in love.
Cupid works all year round and here is hoping that one of his arrows hit you soon.

Another Reason Not to like Ted Cruz

Another reason not to like Ted Cruz.
BF Deal, she was in some of the Skinomax R rated movies way back.
So were a lot of actors. Does this negate what she is saying ?? Does this mean that she isn't a good actress ?? Meanwhile many of these "Conservative Republicans" are secretly Bi or Homosexual and/or into BDSM. What is Behemian Grove all about which Cruz regularly attends ?? I have nothing at all against gay or bi people but I detest hypocrites and Cruz is a huge one with his Goldman Sachs executive wife at his side and millions in Wall Street "Campaign Contributions" in his pocket but he is looking out for the little people---right ??

Oh and Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as president of the United States, under clause 5:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

A guy BORN IN CANADA is not a "natural born citizen" so is ineligible to be President !!
