America Is A Dangerous Flailing Beast
Submitted by John Chuckman via ConsortiumNews.com,
When I think of America’s place in the world today, the image that comes to mind is of a very large animal, perhaps a huge bull elephant or even prehistoric mammoth, which long roamed as the unchallenged king of its domain but has become trapped by its own missteps, as caught in a tar pit or some quicksand, and it is violently flailing about, making a terrifying noises in its effort to free itself and re-establish its authority.
Any observer immediately knows the animal ultimately cannot succeed but certainly is frightened by the noise and crashing that it can sustain for a considerable time.
I think that is the pretty accurate metaphor for the situation of the United States today, still a terribly large and powerful society but one finding itself trapped after a long series of its own blunders and errors, a society certain ultimately to become diminished in its prestige and relative power with all the difficulties which that will entail for an arrogant people having a blind faith in their own rightness.
America simply cannot accept its mistakes or that it was ever wrong, for Americanism much resembles a fundamentalist religion whose members are incapable of recognizing or admitting they ever followed anything but the divine plan.
America has made a costly series of errors over the last half century, demonstrating to others that the America they may have been in awe of in, say, 1950, and may have considered almost godlike and incapable of mistakes, has now proved itself indisputably, in field after field, as often not even capable of governing itself. The irony of a people who are seen as often unable to govern themselves advising others how to govern themselves brings a distinct note of absurdity to American foreign policy.
America’s establishment, feeling its old easy superiority in the world beginning to slip away in a hundred different ways, seems determined to show everyone it still has what it takes, determined to make others feel its strength, determined to weaken others abroad who do not accept its natural superiority, determined to seize by brute force and dirty tricks advantages which no longer come to it by simply superior performance.
Rather than learn from its errors and adjust its delusional assumptions, America is determined to push and bend people all over the world to its will and acceptance of its leadership. But you cannot reclaim genuine leadership once you have been exposed enough times in your bad judgment, and it is clear you are on the decline, just as you cannot once others realize that they can do many things as well or better than you.
In the end, policies which do not recognize scientific facts are doomed. Policies based on wishes and ideology do not succeed over the long run, unless, of course, you are willing to suppress everyone who disagrees with you and demand their compliance under threat. The requirement for an imperial state in such a situation is international behavior which resembles the internal behavior of an autocratic leader such as Stalin, and right now that is precisely where the United States is headed.
Stalin’s personality had a fair degree of paranoia and no patience for the views of others. He felt constantly threatened by potential competitors and he used systematic terror to keep everyone intimidated and unified under him.
Stalin’s sincere belief in a faulty economic system that was doomed from its birth put him in a position similar to that of America’s oligarchs today. They have a world imperial system that is coming under increasing strain and challenge because others are growing and have their own needs and America simply does not have the flexibility to accommodate them.
America’s oligarchs are not used to listening to the views of others. Stalin’s belief in a system that was more an ideology than a coherent economic model is paralleled by the quasi-religious tenets of Americanism, a set of beliefs which holds that America is especially blessed by the Creator and all things good and great are simply its due.
Dominion over the Earth?
Americanism blurrily assumes that God’s promise in the Old Testament that man should have dominion over the earth’s creatures applies now uniquely to Americans. Such thinking arose during many years of easy superiority, a superiority that was less owing to intrinsic merits of American society than to a set of fortuitous circumstances, many of which are now gone.
In Vietnam, America squandered countless resources chasing after a chimera its ideologues insisted was deadly important, never once acknowledging the fatal weaknesses built right into communism from its birth. Communism was certain eventually to fail because of economic falsehoods which were part of its conception, much as a child born with certain genetic flaws is destined for eventual death.
America’s mad rush to fight communism on all fronts was in keeping with the zealotry of America’s Civic Religion, but it was a huge and foolish practical judgment which wasted colossal resources.
In Vietnam, America ended in something close to total shame – literally defeated on the battlefield by what seemed an inconsequential opponent, having also cast aside traditional ethical values in murdering great masses of people who never threatened the United States, murder on a scale (3 million) comparable to the Holocaust.
The United States used weapons and techniques of a savage character: napalm, cluster bombs, and secret mass terror programs. The savagery ripped into the fabric of America’s own society, dividing the nation almost as badly as its Civil War once had. America ended reduced and depleted in many respects and paid its huge bills with devalued currency.
Following Vietnam, it has just been one calamity after another revealing the same destructive inability to govern, the same thought governed by zealotry, right down to the 2008 financial collapse which was caused by ignoring sound financial management and basically instituting a system of unlimited greed. The entire world was jolted and hurt by this stupidity whose full consequences are not nearly played out.
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were completely unnecessary, cost vast sums, caused immense misery, and achieved nothing worth achieving. We now know what was kept hidden, that more than one million Iraqis died in an invasion based entirely on lies. These wars also set in motion changes whose long-term effects have yet to be felt. Iraq, for example, has just about had its Kurdish, oil-producing region hived off as a separate state.
Mishandling Russia
America’s primitive approach to the Soviet Union’s collapse, its sheer triumphalism and failure to regard Russia as important enough to help or with which to cooperate, ignored America’s own long-term interests. After all, the Russians are a great people with many gifts, and it was inevitable that they would come back from a post-collapse depression to claim their place in the world.
So how do the people running the United States now deal with a prosperous and growing Russia, a Russia which reaches out in the soundest traditional economic fashion for cooperation and partnership in trade and projects? Russia has embraced free trade, a concept Americans trumpeted for years whenever it was to their advantage, but now for Russia is treated as dark and sinister.
Here America fights the inevitable power of economic forces, something akin to fighting the tide or the wind, and only for the sake of its continued dominance of another continent. Americans desperately try to stop what can only be called natural economic arrangements between Russia and Europe, natural because both sides have many services, goods, and commodities to trade for the benefit of all. America’s establishment wants to cut off healthy new growth and permanently to establish its primacy in Europe even though it has nothing new to offer.
America’s deliberately dishonest interpretation of Russia’s measured response to an induced coup in Ukraine is used to generate an artificial sense of crisis, but despite the pressures that America is capable of exerting on Europe, we sense Europe only goes along to avoid a public squabble and only for so long as the costs are not too high.
The most intelligent leaders in Europe recognize what the United States is doing but do not want to clash openly, although the creation of the Minsk Agreement came pretty close to a polite rejection of America’s demand for hardline tactics.
The coup in Ukraine was intended to put a hostile government in control of a long stretch of Russian border, a government which might cooperate in American military matters and which would serve as an irritant to Russia. But you don’t get good results with malicious policy.
So far the coup has served only to hurt Ukraine’s economy, security and long-term interests. It has a government which is seen widely as incompetent, a government which fomented unnecessary civil war, a government which may have shot down a civilian airliner, and a government in which no one, including in the West, has much faith.
Its finances are in turmoil, many important former economic connections are severed, and there is no great willingness by Europe, especially an economically-troubled Europe, to assist it. It is not an advanced or stable enough place to join the EU because that would just mean gigantic subsidies being directed to it from an already troubled Europe.
And the idea of its joining NATO is absolutely a non-starter both because it can’t carry its own weight in such an organization and because that act would cross a dangerous red line for Russia.
Kiev is having immense problems even holding the country together as it fights autonomous right-wing outfits like the Azov Battalion in the southeast who threaten the Minsk Agreement, as the regime tries to implement military recruiting in western Ukraine with more people running away than joining up, as it finds it must protect its own President with a Praetorian Guard of Americans from some serious threats by right-wing militias unhappy with Kiev’s failures, as it must reckon with the de facto secession of Donetsk and the permanent loss of Crimea – all this as it struggles with huge debts and an economy in a nosedive.
America is in no position to give serious assistance to Ukraine, just plenty of shop-worn slogans about freedom and democracy. These events provide a perfect example of the damage America inflicts on a people with malicious policy intended only to use them to hurt others.
There is such a record of this kind of thing by America that I am always surprised when there are any takers out there for the newest scheme. One remembers Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in 1975 encouraging the Iraqi Kurds to revolt against Saddam Hussein and then leaving them in the lurch when the dictator launched a merciless suppression.
I also think of the scenes at the end of the Vietnam War as American helicopters took off in cowardly fashion from the roof of the embassy leaving their Vietnamese co-workers, tears streaming down their faces, vainly grasping for the undercarriages of helicopters, a fitting and shameful end to a truly brainless crusade.
Messing up Ukraine
I don’t know but I very much doubt that the present government of Ukraine can endure, and it is always possible that it will slip into an even more serious civil war with factions fighting on all sides, something resembling the murderous mess America created in Libya. Of course, such a war on Russia’s borders would come with tremendous risks.
The American aristocracy doesn’t become concerned about disasters into which they themselves are not thrust, but a war in Ukraine could easily do just that. In ironic fashion, heightened conflict could mark the beginning of the end of the era of European subservience to America. Chaos in Ukraine could provide exactly the shock Europe needs to stop supporting American schemes before the entire continent or even the world is threatened.
I remind readers that while Russia’s economy is not as large as America’s, it is a country with a strong history in engineering and science, and no one on the planet shares its terrifying experiences with foreign invasion. So it has developed and maintains a number of weapons systems that are second to none. Each one of its new class of ballistic missile submarines, and Russia is building a number of them, is capable of hitting 96 separate targets with thermo-nuclear warheads, and that capability is apart from rail-mounted ICBMs, hard-site ICBMs, truck-mounted missiles, air-launched cruise missiles, sea-launched cruise missiles, and a variety of other fearsome weapons.
Modern Russia does not make threats with this awesome power, and you might say Putin follows the advice of Theodore Roosevelt as he walks softly but carries a big stick, but I do think it wise for all of us to keep these things in mind as America taunts Russia and literally play a game of chicken with Armageddon.
I don’t believe America has a legitimate mandate from anyone to behave in this dangerous way. Europe’s smartest leaders, having lived at the very center of the Cold War and survived two world wars, do understand this and are trying very carefully not to allow things to go too far, but America has some highly irresponsible and dangerous people working hard on the Ukraine file, and accidents do happen when you push things too hard.
The Israel Obsession
In another sphere of now constant engagement, instead of sponsoring and promoting fair arrangements in the Middle East, America has carried on a bizarre relationship with Israel, a relationship which is certainly against the America’s own long term interests, although individual American politicians benefit with streams of special interests payments – America’s self-imposed, utterly corrupt campaign financing system being ultimately responsible – in exchange for blindly insisting Israel is always right, which it most certainly is not.
An important segment of Israel’s population is American, and they just carried over to Israel the same short-sightedness, arrogance and belligerence which characterize America, so much so, Israel may legitimately be viewed as an American colony in the Middle East rather than a genuinely independent state.
Its lack of genuine independence is reflected also in its constant dependence on huge subsidies, on its need for heavily-biased American diplomacy to protect it in many forums including the United Nations, and on its dependence upon American arm-twisting and bribes in any number of places, Egypt’s generous annual American pension requiring certain behaviors being one of the largest examples.
Here, too, inevitability has been foolishly ignored. The Palestinians are not going anywhere, and they have demonstrated the most remarkable endurance, yet almost every act of Israel since its inception, each supported by America, has been an effort to make them go away through extreme hardship and abuse and violence, looking towards the creation of Greater Israel, a dangerous fantasy idea which cannot succeed but it will fail only after it has taken an immense toll.
Despite America’s constant diplomatic and financial pressure on other states to support its one-sided policy here, there are finally a number of signs that views are turning away from the preposterous notion that Israel is always right and that it can continue indefinitely with its savage behavior.
Recently, we have had a great last effort by America and covert partners to secure Israel’s absolute pre-eminence in the Middle East through a whole series of destructive intrusions in the region – the “Arab Spring,” the reverse-revolution in Egypt, the smashing and now dismemberment of Iraq, the smashing and effective dismemberment of Libya, and the horrible, artificially-induced civil war in Syria which employs some of the most violent and lunatic people on earth from outside and gives them weapons, money and refuge in an effort to destroy a stable and relatively peaceful state.
* * *
I could go on, but I think the picture is clear: in almost every sphere of American governance, internally and abroad, America’s poor political institutions have yielded the poorest decisions. America has over-extended itself on every front, has served myths rather than facts, has let greed run its governing of almost everything, and has squandered resources on achieving nothing of worth.
I view America’s present posture in the world – supporting dirty wars and coups in many places at the same time and treating others as game pieces to be moved rather than partners – as a desperate attempt to shake the world to gain advantages it couldn’t secure through accepted means of governance and policy.
America is that great beast, bellowing and shaking the ground, and for that reason, it is extremely dangerous.

Apparently Amurika only made their peace with Cuba 'cause the ISIS commanders love cigars.They're now lighting them with $100 uncle Sam's.
A beast does not know that he is a beast, and the nearer a man gets to being a beast, the less he knows it http://www.philiacband.com/propaganda.html
The Beast out of the Sea of Revelation's 7th head is the British Empire, which begat the USA. The USA is now in its death throes, and will be defeated in WW3, which will be begin shortly.
Iran and its allies will emerge the victor, for a short while.
Then, Christ will return, for the final battle.
Hedge accordingly.
PS- All the signs point to this.
My suggestion is you lay off the LSD, little boy,
I heard Christ was an Essene, a master of esoteric Arts. As such the Essenes are much closer to the original Christ than any of us today.
In fact in like 331 AC the Church of Rome combined Pagan Sun Worship with Christian, Syrian, and Iranian beliefs to appease the people of the day and make Christianity Acceptable. Some like James held on to the Old Testament. Some like Paul held on to the Faith that all you needed was Christs Teachings. The Essenes were like an offshoot of Gnostics who believed you can know god, experience god & Religion for yourself to verify the truth.
This is why the Church of Rome destroyed all other religions and had attempted to destroy Christianity. The Church of Rome wanted the Monopoly.
In fact I heard that Gnostisism predates Christianity and may extend back to Sumer. There were Egyptian Gnostics, and others. Masonry may also be another religion which holds some of the trappings of Gnostic Esoterica.
It is said that when Jesus Healed it was code for bringing back the excommunicated, converting government or clerical people, or some such event where he brought them the word.
Sort of like LSD trip.
Put a bullet in Uncle Sam's head.
Either that, or die in a thousand nuclear firestorms.
I wonder if bull elephants can get rabies ?
This one is acting rabid.
If the world survives the next couple of years, I for one will be pleasantly surprised ,and
hopefully still alive.The odds are heavily against that judging by history, combined with
ober-mensch American exceptionalism ,with a dash of Russo/Chinese xenophobia.
The US has sent a regime change specialist to Kyrgyzstan. They are going 'all in' around Russia's borders.
http://novorossia.today/usa-is-preparing-another-colour-revolution/
The Baltic Potato Eaters, Ukraine, Macedonia, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan. The pace is picking up. They really want this sucker to go down.
America? Oh, you must mean that tiny cabal of bankers and elitist scum that have been running things for a while over here. For a second, I thought you were referring to the peoples of America.
Well it was called the Council of Nicaea.
- Council of Nicaea can refer to:
- First Council of Nicaea in AD 325
- Second Council of Nicaea in AD 787
Just lay off the Bible little boy. Might as well quote Harry Potter or some other novel.
Bible freaks?
So when Christ returns , guys like you will have eternal harp lessons?
Man, your fucking brain is so fried. TOTALLY
"Dangerous Flailing Beast"?
But "Consumer Sentiment" is the highest in 11 years!!!
What could possibly go wrong when we all all Cocks O' the Walk?
Or should I say Cocks O' the Roll ...Obesity in US men has also never been higher....
Now the "flailing" part makes sense....
Picture white blobs, in Rascal scooters and Mom jeans, waving flags (US and Confederate), spraying "Nuke the Ruskies" with Burger King chunks flying out of their rotted, bellicose face holes....
"America, Fuck Yeah" plays in the background....
Is there something called Cock of Nine Tails?
You know like Cat o' Nine Tails?
If so surely it would apply to VICHY DC & possibly VICHY Wall Street.
So when Christ returns he will have a letter from his Father giving official approval of same-sex sex.
There will also be a divine entreaty for participants to 'slow down' and to try "to take it easier."
Fat chance.
"Seek_Truth"...The Beast..."
"Seek" actually means to "look"...you know, like to "research"?
The fact that you quote text from a recently-printed "version" of "alleged" ancient" text, written by "unkown" writers, at completely different times, about completely unrelated subjects and narratives, which has been "translated" differently each time, even between the same languages and dialects, and then it has been wholly "edited"(with entire works, amounting to almost 40% omitted), repeatedly for 2,000 years....
...demonstrates that you acutlly do "NOT" "seek truth".
Moreover, you certanily do not seek perspective, or any kind of positive solution to any of the ills of the world.
https://carm.org/manuscript-evidence
And in 2000 years, Coca Cola cans will be found by archaeologists thoughout the world. Their similarity will amaze, with numerous ancient languages printed on the cans corresponding to every languge known to man from that time - surely this will prove beyond all doubt that Coca Cola was the one true source of all nutrition!
I hope Christ knows about how Iranians and Hezbollah have been fighting the USSA/UK/Israel/Saudi/ZWO terrorists in Syria and they have been protecting all Syrians including Christian Syrians.
Christ was not too crazy about his own people like Bobby Fischer. Jesus threw them out of the money changer temple. Today's equivalent would be Goldman Sachs trading floor.
I suspect that if Christ actually had a say in any matter she would walk away from all the crap spewed in her name, Christ is a manipulated commodity these days. Hey Goldman? JC futures market? let's bet on the 666 and second coming of the deluded.
Poor brain, there is lots of help for u, just ask you doctor for help ...

and it is precisely the bibliomancers, with their absurd belief that an omnipotent Be-ing crafted the inanity of the Olt Testament, blind to its violence and xenophobia and tribalism, who are a large part of the problem - welcoming world war instead, as Christ would have Himself demanded, worked as hard as possible to prevent it.
If you believe without question or evidence, 'prophecies' are very easy to verify - but the only real prophecies are the self-fulfilling kind, butressed by expectation bias.

And the lack of courage to doubt.
Jesus fights for whom?
Very close, but not quite. Remember, pearls before swine and all ;-)
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. 11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Revelation 17 King James Bible
Daniel 2/BC:
1 Babylon - gold
2 Medo-Persia - silver
3 Greece - brass
4/8 Rome - Iron/clay
Daniel 7/AD
5 Britain/America - Eagle winged lion
6 Russia - Bear
7 China - Leopard
4/8 Rome - Iron beast
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Revelation 13 King James Bible
Inconsistent interpretation.
And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Revelation was written during the Roman Empire, therefore, it is Rome that "is".
Therefore, Rome can't be the beast that "was" and "is not."
The Seven Heads of the Beast out of the Sea of Revelation:
1. Egypt (3150-1070 BC; 1550-1070 BC as uncontested “superpower”)
2. Assyria (Syria; 911 – 627 BC)
3. Babylon (Iraq; 626-539 BC; can not be 8th King)*
4. Medo-Persia (Achaemenid Empire) (Iran; 550-330 BC)
5. Greece (336-30 BC)
6. Rome- (27 BC-476 AD) - (Can not be 8th King)*
Between the 6th and 7th head: The Ten Horns (empires) made possible by the collapse of the Roman Empire, see “Ten Horns” below
7. British Empire, which led to the United States of America as its Image.
*- see Rev 17:10-11; Rev 13:3; has to be one of the first five, excluding Babylon (Isaiah 13:19-20; Jeremiah 25:12), so it can only be Egypt, Assyria, Medo-Persia, or Greece. Next we will determine which of these is the 8th king.
8. Medo-Persia (Iran). This conclusion is based on the following process of elimination.
The 8th King can’t be Babylon (Isaiah 13:19-20; Jeremiah 25:12), so it can only be Egypt, Assyria, Medo-Persia, or Greece. In addition, Isaiah chapter 10 reveals that God will completely destroy Assyria, and again in Zechariah 1:11: “They will pass through the sea of trouble; the surging sea will be subdued and all the depths of the Nile will dry up. Assyria’s pride will be brought down and Egypt’s scepter will pass away.” By the process of elimination- this leaves only Greece and Persia as the Beast who was, is not, yet will be- the eighth King.
Note that Greece has no military, little money and little power. Medo-Persia (Iran) has lots of weaponry, a large military and lots of Gold and Oil. Also of importance is that Iran has no Great Whore Rothschild Bank - hence not “ridden” by the Harlot. Best candidate of all nations to turn on her and make her devastated and naked.
As for the beasts of Daniel:
The first beast of Daniel is the same as the third head of the beast out of the sea of Revelation, as follows:
This interpretation is 100% consistent across all the scriptures in the Bible. It is 100% in agreement with the entire context of the Bible. Therefore, it is the correct interpretation.
No doubt Christ is anxious to "get back," after the lastest Supreme Court ruling.
Hello seek truth, this 'Christ returning' thing is exciting, where do you think he will go first, Washington or Jerusalem, will he have his own TV show do you think? A call in show would be awesome and think of the add revenue I don't think I've ever heard much about his money, I'm sure he recognizes his mistake there and he won't be long getting his fortune this time, do you think they have television, or computers? where he is now?
Obvious troll is obvious.
Evidence is replete throughout not only the NT canon but the gnostic texts that there was every expectation Jesus was supposed to return in *their* life times - "this generation" not, in fact, meaning a line..but people get hung up on that, much more evidence.
Anyway, I don't argue with religious people. And, fwiw, what's the pointof insulting them? It's not like you're going to use sarcasm, or logic, and they will change their mind. They believe something without question, and interpret the world through that belief. And the religious person of Faith, A, B, C and D are all equally sure they are right.
I just now that religious Jews, Muslims, Christians, and "Christian Zionists" all cling to their holy bible and argue over prophecies and the savior of one is the devil of the other - and the whole thing is arranged such that the most credulous, stupid, obtuse people of the Abrahamic faiths may well kill the rest of us...
Unless, space aliens intervene, or something.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.
Bertrand Russell
There have been people in every generation who anticipated Christ's imminent return- on that you are correct.
However, Jesus left numerous signs of what would occur before He returned- and for most of history- those signs were left to the interpretation of a few "priests" and "monks." With the advent of computers, the internet, and online, searchable Bibles, Interlinear texts, 1,000s of manuscripts (all in agreement with each other), etc- Bible research has never been more efficient. What may have taken a monk 1 year of study can now be accomplished in a day. So many things that were previously hidden are now being revealed- just as prophesied.
The corruption and franchising of "christianity" was foretold in 2 Thessalonians 2, and it occurred as prophesied in ~300 AD under Constantine's Roman church. All the franchises of "christianity" that sprung from the Roman church (including Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant denominations) retain much of what that Roman apostacy taught.
Yet, over time, again as prophesied, every hidden thing is being revealed- from false religious teachings, to fiat money created out of nothing, fractional reserve banking, derivatives, corrupted governments, corrupted businesses, etc.
In contrast, the Bible is God's word- it is inerrant, there are hundreds of prophesies that have been fulfilled- and a handful that haven't- yet.
You can choose to have an open mind and discover that all the signs point to Jesus' imminent return, or you can choose to have a closed mind and find out when it's either too late, or nearly so.
Either way- Christ will return shortly, all the signs point to that day's nearness.
Apparently, we are a homo beast afraid of our past. So much so, that we are ready to burn movies, books, and flags. Our hero is a he-she. Remember, "homo" means "man".
The original concept sounded pretty good on paper back in the late 1700s.
Now? “When you are up to your ass in alligators it’s difficult to remember that your initial objective was to drain the swamp”.

LOL Sorry I know it is Mochel. Sorry, I know it is some new Cable Channel Reality TV series star. Sorry no I know it is Obmama. Sorry no I know it is Chaz Bono. Sorry no I know it is Cloris Leachman. Sorry I know it is Phylis Diller. Sorry no I know it is Flip Wilson. Sorry I know it is Tony Curtis and Jack Lennon.
Sorry I know we don't really have honest Leaders in the USA of any kind.
The Fast Track debate and vote was a fiasco of Deal making without a single principle in sight. Glad Rand voted against it. There was a picture of McConnell today saying he had an out of body experience... say maybe he is getting too old. Sounds like Mitch McConnell might be consulting with Shirly MacLaine or is ready for his Sex Change.
That about approximates it Cap'n. And therein lies the curse, because there is no turning back when one has lost recognition of even who he is to begin with.
Don't forget the Korean War....UN's first big war, kissinger's dirty hand...that was a big one, right after the war to end all wars to end all wars....or whatever...
Drugs + Divide and Conquer....pattern repeats....
Same players + China on the table now also....
Edit: China played a major role in the Korean war, decisive actually.
How telling.....
Yours is the profession of arms, the will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there is no substitute for victory, that if you lose, the Nation will be destroyed, that the very obsession of your public service must be duty, honor, country.
Others will debate the controversial issues, national and international, which divide men's minds. But serene, calm, aloof, you stand as the Nation's war guardian, as its lifeguard from the raging tides of international conflict, as its gladiator in the arena of battle. For a century and a half you have defended, guarded, and protected its hallowed traditions of liberty and freedom, of right and justice.
Let civilian voices argue the merits or demerits of our processes of government: Whether our strength is being sapped by deficit financing indulged in too long, by Federal paternalism grown too mighty, by power groups grown too arrogant, by politics grown too corrupt, by crime grown too rampant, by morals grown too low, by taxes grown too high, by extremists grown too violent; whether our personal liberties are as thorough and complete as they should be.
These great national problems are not for your professional participation or military solution. Your guidepost stands out like a ten-fold beacon in the night: Duty, honor, country.
You are the leaven which binds together the entire fabric of our national system of defense. From your ranks come the great captains who hold the Nation's destiny in their hands the moment the war tocsin sounds.
The long, gray line has never failed us. Were you to do so, a million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, would rise from their white crosses, thundering those magic words: Duty, honor, country.
unfortunately, the beast will step over its citizens, even kill them in order to survive.
Good point WTFUD. This is also a great article, as the evil dies (and I am hopeful it will) it is certain to lash out at anything and everything. It will be like a giant of a man afflicted with downs syndrome wielding a scythe in one hand and a bottle of soju in the other. Soju is baaaad stuff.
The mud suckers live deep.

Oh the irony. The same banking "group" that financed Trotsky out of NY is still plying their craft. Its come full circle. They've run out of places to run. The centuries have caught up to them.

No. The tyrant class and the Jew Media are Dangerous Flailing Beasts.

Well, I ain't scared, and I know several more that feel the same...
A wounded and cornered animal is extremely dangerous. Not to mention very, very pissed off.

that's happens when we keep electing the same retarded assholes over and over again. These perfumed princes think that whatever they say is going to come true, almost like Yul Brynner as Ramses II in the movie The Ten Commandments, "So it is written, so it is done." These simpering little dolts will find out one day real soon life doesn't work that way. There is coming soon a day when they issue an edict and no one obeys it, we just laugh at them.
Just one more election and we can get the right people in

I'm going with sick bear. The animal is opportunistic and unpredicable. No longer a apex predator, but a scavenger. Where you could once rely on it's predicable feeding habits and admire it's dominance now behold an emaciated beast with hollow eyes, mangy complexion and a strange desperate hungry look about it.
The defeat of the USA will happen, as prophesied, by a "Bear" (Persia), that comes out of hibernation, and is very hungry.
"And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, 'Get up and eat your fill of flesh!'" - Daniel 7:5

Dear Dutch Boy,
What airline did you retire from as a flight engineer? Pity it wasn't German Wings and even more so you weren't the flight engineer on 9525, because for a 19-week old member, you have to be one of the most petty little fucks I have had the mispleasure to read. Your value add is zero most of the time. What broken dick airline did you fly for before you were retired? Let me guess, Ryan Air.
Go tell it to Jayzus and read your Buybull LOL

"Some people look at a flag swaying in the breeze at the White House and say "That's America." Whenever I see an American flag hung in a window of a basement apartment by guys who have better things to do with their money than buy curtains, I say "That's America to me.
In America, there are fifty-one states. Or maybe it's eighty by now; does England count? I'm not quite sure. The one thing I am sure of is if I'm standing in a warehouse beside a time clock and a guy is punching in his best friend, who's too hungover to get out of bed, I'm standing in America; the makeover capital of the world.
The place where every young man has to answer in his heart the question "What do you love more: your girlfriend or your car?" Where that young man can buy a beat-up car for three hundred dollars but have to spend a thousand to insure it.
The land where even a paper boy can option the film rights to a book. America.
In America, a woman on an assembly line works out her overtime to infinity. And, at the exact same moment, her husband gets into a car crash because he was looking at a girl in a tube top.
America, a land where spelling doesn't count, people's pets do!
Where else can a guy get a job riding a whale at Marine Land?
The land where a guy's girlfriend breaks up with him over the phone, so he takes a gun and kills the principal. Everyone's sad... until they get the day off.
Next week, another guy, another gal, another "we can still be friends" phone call. Whuh-oh. The assistant principal gets killed and everyone is sad because they don't get the day off.... because he was only the assistant principal.

Funny thing, If you went to a good school, but it wasn't Harvard, you eventually got together with your other non-HArvard buddies and talked about how Harvard sucked at this and Harvard sucked at that. The comparison was always there and the inferiority complex was always there AND always will be there.

Heh, for purported anti-statists it sure is easy to jangle y'all's jingo-bells; kind of a tell, y'know?
Is anti-statist like a small government-type in your book or does one have to go full anarchist to be anti-statist?
hell no! they just have to agree with where YOU want to draw imaginary lines, as I have discovered.
So the answer is what, majority rule, the tyranny of the mob?
Actually, I've been quite clear about this, time and time again, in no uncertain terms. But your MO requires constant repetition, so if you must have it, have it then:
democracy to protect the masses from the individual, and a constitution to protect the individual from the masses
tadaa!
And when the masses collectively decide a constitution impedes most of their desires, what of the individual then?
(old)Newsflash: any just system can be corrupted if the people it affects allow that to happen.
Anyway, why would the masses, made up of individuals, wilfully seek to impede 'most of their (own) desires'?
Gosh, I dunno GF, self interest, possibly the same reason ANY government system can be corrupted? Take your average pol, what is in his/her own self interest?
Its not the same as mine.
So now you're claiming that, out of self interest, the masses will act against their own self interest?
I heard you the first time.
Or perhaps you were referring to the 'self interests' of the resulting elected reps of a constitutionally mitigated democracy? Surely you can fathom that rectifying errors of that sort falls within the purview of regular elections, and/or the relevant sections of a constitution?
"Its not the same as mine"
Not down to how you like your toenails decorated, no, but I've tried (lord knows how I have tried) to illustratre this to you many times: sociopaths excepted, at the core the overwhelming majority of peoples' interests are pretty much the same, the world over. You know what I mean: the sort of blatantly obvious consensus morality that generally makes it into constitutional language. Eg. P Kropotkin could rationalize how anarchists are capable of recognizing universal morals.
There can be just causes for suspending/altering sections of a democracy's constitution, but that isn't somehow inevitable, or inherently terrible.
"Gosh, I dunno GF, self interest, possibly the same reason ANY government system can be corrupted?"
Well then, if, being human constructs subject to human error, any and all systems of governance are corruptible, why on earth are the principles of the examples I've provided of multiple, functioning, fiscally responsible, enduring successes, both historical and existing, less likely to be as meritocratic as any of the others, including yours?
Pretty sure I confined my statement to "the masses desires" and a pols "self interest". Why yes, looking it over again I did in fact word it exactly like that.
Are you having trouble understanding this clear delineation of the roles & responsibilities each entails?
"Well then, if, being human constructs subject to human error, any and all systems of governance are corruptible, why on earth are the principles of the examples I've provided of multiple, functioning, fiscally responsible, enduring successes, both historical and existing, less likely to be as meritocratic as any of the others..."
Not being a regular reader of yours, I can't seem to place my finger on your "examples both historical and existing", all I see on this thread is you baiting up anti-statists (prompting my response) and a long litany of percieved offenses to your sensibilities (from Coke to cars to male-female relationships to you regarding David Bowie as some sort of philosopher).
Perhaps if you could provide the list here again of these "multiple, functioning, fiscally responsible, enduring successes, both historical and existing" we could look it over together and see if the principles match the reality...
"Pretty sure I confined my statement to "the masses desires" and a pols "self interest". Why yes, looking it over again I did in fact word it exactly like that."
And I provided feasible answers, well within the parameters of a constitutionally mitigated democracy, to those 'concerns', and then some.
"..all I see on this thread is you baiting up anti-statists"
As if your myopia is my problem. I confess, though, baiting self-styled 'anti-statists' is pretty easy, because (as you concede) there are no real 'anti-statists' here, just varying degrees of 'statists'; with the right to tar someone else with that epithet seemingly falling to whomever is the most willing to hand ever more power to those who already have most of it.
"Not being a regular reader of yours, I can't seem to place my finger on your "examples both historical and existing"
Yeah, that's a steaming load of malarkey and won't wash; you read what I write often enough. Why must I keep repeating myself for you? Why don't you grow a pair that would breed and contribute? Really, you just come off as someone terrified of answering a direct question.
So your answer is what, the rule of kings, the tyranny of the individual? The masses bowing before someone who fancies him/herself a benevolent plutocrat: IE, you?
It's YOUR TURN for dissection, let's see how you like it, for once.
So come on now: what's your Big Theory that constitutionally mitigated democracies are so inimical to? Other than vague references to 'smaller' gov't, the specifics of which ultimately benefit the status quo, I mean. You know: the system you see as humanity's best shot at a meritocracy capable of withstanding most assaults of corruption. You'll need to enlighten us with the details, because when it comes to 'smaller gov't' I have ideas that would cut more than half the US' annual budget.
And please, don't forget to include the functioning, enduring, fiscally responsible example(s) (seriously, after all these years I would settle for just one).
<crickets>
"Not being a regular reader of yours, I can't seem to place my finger on your "examples both historical and existing"
Why must I keep repeating myself for you?"
I believe that put the ball squarely in your court, you're a prog afraid to admit it and for good reason, you dream of some utopia where no one games the system and the states cut is always faaarrreeeee! forever but that will never be.
As for myself, I have long had anarchist tendencies. I've never left someone else holding an obligation of mine (finanacial or otherwise), basically, I clean up my own messes when left alone. I don't "need" an outside structure to my life, I never have and I'm 56 now. I've never been on food stamps. I don't rely on cops, ambulances or firemen. Everything I have I earned myself, my sweat, my blood, my sacrifice, my time, is that your so called meritocracy?
If so I am found "guilty" as charged of...meritocracy...and not a parasite.
However I understand there are people who are not "like me". I am not opposed to charity and I am not a "greedy person" coming from my humble beginnings but the goverment is the ABSOLUTE LAST entity I want extracting and doling out profits from private labor because it has a vested interest in keeping its patronage higher among the masses than it should be.
(See roles, responsiblities and self interest from above, if you're confused, which you obviously are).
Now you Goin Fawr, give me your reasoning for "the state" and its over compensation for it merely existing.
heh, that's the problem with your 'game': the balls are always squarely in your opponents' court.
"I don't rely on cops, ambulances or firemens"
I'll just let the appalling hubris of that one speak for itself, except to note that I highly doubt if you were in need you would allow someone as precious to you as yourself fall upon a sword of 'Anarchistic tendencies' rather than rely on the services of a public servant, especially when you could just as easily rationalize that 'you've already paid for' their assistance. (See Ayn Rand's medical records for corroboration on how to be a meritocrat of convenience)
Anyway, so your answer to my actual question appears to be,
"Anarchistic tendencies"
the long and (very) short of socioeconomic tenets that, in your opinion, will promote an overall meritocratic society.
...tough to imagine the mechanics of such a system of governance; just leads to a lot more questions.
I mean does your vague, paradoxically absolute yet somehow flexible 'fondness of bellum omnium contra omnes' allow for publicly monitored and sanctioned elections, referendums, courts and judges in it? Is there any public property in 'Anarchistic tendency' land, or is all a priori privately owned, just waiting for the mightiest of the mighty who might want to claim the right and call it right? Free for those who can afford it, very expensive for those who can't, hey?
I notice you still haven't been able to locate one example in recorded history of a society that has successfully thrived for an extended period soley on this principle of "I'm all right so fuck all the rest" either.
"I believe that put the ball squarely in your court, you're a prog afraid to admit it and for good reason, you dream of some utopia where no one games the system and the states cut is always faaarrreeeee! forever but that will never be"
Spare us your dumb play, please. I've been posting comments here over five years. As if my 'examples' could be anything new to you or the rest of the resident echochambermaidens. You know as well as I do what they are, and that they meet all the criteria for success I have listed on this thread, even though they certainly aren't 'utopias'.
I'll be happy to put them up for scrutiny yet again <rolls eyes>, but only against your example(s), once you finally get around to providing one, that is (Unverifiable anecdotes of self praise don't count, regardless of how glorious a society you think you and you alone are).
Because your turn isn't over yet.
My turn?...lol. I am not your or anyones puppet, Shirley.
Now I remember why I skip over your comments, you are a deceitful, wormy little being who refuses to stand for anything that does not flow from a central authority...ie statism...who would no doubt deny or excuse the wars, genocides, poverty, oppression & bankruptcies which naturally come with that central authority as just the price one has to pay for EBT and an ambulance ride.
I have just destroyed your leftwing dog whistle (and overuse) of "meritocracy" by sharing my own life experience and still you refuse to engage preferring to torch your own strawman constructs. I suggest you hop on public transportation and get that burn permit approved and have the fire department standing by along with an ambulance for those strawmen.
If you're not a muppet you're one helluva Osch Kosch B' Goch useful idiot. Or just an easily wound up clockwork orange with some broken teeth on the gears. The only thing you routinely destroy is your credibility, union of ZH echochambermaidens members excepted, natch.
"Now I remember why I skip over your comments, you are a deceitful, wormy little being who refuses to stand for anything that does not flow from a central authority...ie statism.." [citation required]
lol, seeing as you conceded long ago that statism is a matter of degrees rather than an absolute you might as well paint yourself with the same broad brush. I 'stand' for plenty that isn't your actual strawman construct; specifically, can you please enlighten us as to exactly how democracy, mandates from masses of individuals in agreement, 'flows from a central authority'?
Statist, I find it particularly telling that you pay volumes of lip service out of both sides of your mouth to 'smaller gov't', yet when I suggest that I might have a proposal that would shrink the US annual budget by more than half you're not even curious.
And WhAT, STILL NO SPECIMEN of a society, past or present, that embodies the success of your ideal?
Good grief, you'd think that after all these years you and the echochambermaidens could have put your pointed heads together and come up with something more concrete than just a wind tunnel.
The pendulum swings from right to left. In a fair election, when the "right" or business institutions goes too far, the next elections will begin bring in the left When the left becomes too close to the fringe, the pendulum returns to the right, hopefully swinging within the middle of both, under normal circumstances.
American politicians who are "against" the elitists' plan to buy the world are in the cross hairs of assassins and unless you people come together and decide how to blow the brains out of the master minds, where ever they may be, even if it means sending mankind into extinction, would be preferable to the end of this road we are on.

What the future holds.
The contempt in the air is a mob away from having military police on every corner in America, hats which have UN on the front and which will never leave. Some of the atrocities we are seeing may be staged, including the police brutality. The loyalty to this cause of wiping out the middle class and having a fire sale of 1st world nations is quite impressive and i imagine very well funded, with everything at their disposal, but even so, including a propaganda machine hard at work, pressing for the other side, whatever side of the argument requires a spark, now they are on the comment section with anti-gay whereas up until now, pro-gay was the theme. Agent provocateurs.
Sometimes, you have no choice but to play the same game but play it better, rid us of the possibilty of ever having to do this dirty deed again (vanquishing agitators and the people who pay them) once and for all. Life is too short for this and the children are the ones who will be the recipients of the horrific revenge pent up for centuries by ne'er do wells. Stealing has made made into a science by them.
Perhaps we should set up a GofundMe and hire Pitt and Norton to do the dirty deed of destroying the people who are destroying us. I wish I could help.
Luckily ideas can never be killed. Love the pendulum metaphor.

FAIR ENOUGH!
You apparently do not get out much. In my time, I did travel enough of the world, especially touring but also living in several places, it has been my impression that Americans were the most likely to display humility, igenuity, a sense of humor and empathy. They are quick to give the benefit of the doubt and most likely to perform acts of random kindness. Even beside the Canadians, who prefer to mind their own business, Americans will go above and beyond the call of duty.
This was before Oprah's "where your heart on your sleeve" campaign. Social engineering has been underway in America since the 50s. Infiltrating the key committees, bribing lawmakers, destroying reputations, murder, cronyism, diligently and patiently has been taking place.
America gave opportunity for talent to be recognized at the bottom once. The present day America cannot be compared with what America stands for.
I knew Americans when being American was something to be proud of. Treasonous politicians who are loyal to foreign entities or have made a racket out of their position of trust..have gutted her and there is little resemblance to what she stood for, save a black president who, shockingly enough, has the job of sinking her, right after he gets the guns. What is it exactly you are doing? Trying to make us give up? Thanks to social media, the 911 movement and we can see a common enemy arising from the scum-laced swamp vultures drink from, and it is no Phoenix. Fags and Faggetts aside, this party is over and the band has stopped playing.
First you say that I don't get out much, then you go on to say the time for that has passed anyway.
What is it exactly I am doing?
Amusing myself with life's little ironies. And some procrastinating.
You sound like an American malcontent. kind of like Dutchboy only darker.
To point out the obvious, we here in the West really know next to nothing about this 'Stalin', except what our so-called national 'leaders' have wanted us to know, as this article well attests to:

And remember that it was the same 'leaders' that set up Hitler and company, the Bolsheviks et al to China today. Stalin, like Putin and Xi have the task of weeding out all those western friendly oligarchs in their party/country, which is an immense task.

The War machine Corporations make vast sums of money off of war and other people's blood.
America’s mad rush to fight communism on all fronts was in keeping with the zealotry of America’s Civic Religion, but it was a huge and foolish practical judgment which wasted colossal resources.
America's rush to fight Communism was what Ike warned about - the military industrial complex that needed to be continually fed..... Vietnam ate up all kinds of aircraft, Huey's and tons of war material - while providing access to all of the illicit opium production coming out of Laos..... The WHOLE POINT was to 'waste resources' - requiring military suppliers to produce MORE. The collateral damage in lives - Americans, Vietnamese, Laotian and MILLIONS more in Cambodia (The genocide there would never have happened without the Amerians fighting in Vietnam).
The US is folowing Rome's lead in fast forward - Republic to Empire to collapse. Our Founding Fathers warned about getting involved elsewhere...... we didn't listen.

the world would be much better off goin' forward if vlad would put us out of our misery.
America's poor political institutions are poor by design, not by historical accident nor by incompetence per se. America's political institutions are but puppets of greed and irrational dreams of global domination. The ONLY DECISION these institutions have made was made ON DEMAND, and that was to FOLLOW ORDERS FROM THEIR HIGH PAYING MASTERS. In America, everyone already knows this. The question now is, are the American People still capable of taking the government for themselves, rather than allowing the masters to simply dispose of the people when they are no longer profitable.
The short answer would be no.
The "American people" are being watered down by illegal immigration and public school / University diversity training. Only a sever recesion, the composite street violence and then reclamation of the moral high ground will enable the "Americaqn people" to take the Gov't for themselves.
Going to be epic.
no
These demented Vichy DC policies are a result of their total capture by the Neocon's. With MSM singing from the same hymn sheet a more rounded exclusive debate/discussion on ' what's going on in the real world ' is impossible.
The $400 a month for the FREE Syrian Army Moderates, probably the same pay rate as the Right Sector Thicko's in Kiev, colour revolutions, periscope up Mutti's bunghole and Hollande's new mistress's nipple microphone, expanding NSA/Booze Ham, subsidies and financing of GCHQ and ALL the other suckcurity expenditures around the globe is finally taking its toll.
Like the bull in eSpagna with multiple spears in it , it's all over bar the domestic drones.
Damn son. You are a poet. Some flowery lingo there.
- Kinda makes me tingly thinking about all the spies we have, backed up by Telecoms, MIC Contractors, Satellites, and Ground Stations on every continent.
"Dominion over the Earth?
Americanism blurrily assumes that God’s promise in the Old Testament that man should have dominion over the earth’s creatures applies now uniquely to Americans."
Neocons have some problems with their Self Promotion and push for Dirty Wars and Dominion over the Sun & Moon & Stars.
- Many will remember their names when Crisis hits
- Even Fiat Money has Credit Limits & Credit Ratings
- Even the Federal Budget has Limits while the world continues to park their money in US Bonds & Investments
- A Logistics tail all over the World can't possibly ever work, nor half the world or even two Continents
- Neocon-Superpower Folly has only one thing going for it, when the Crisis hits they will need their Wealthy Friends to hide them & Protect them... but we will have to wait and see how good that relationship is
Yes TV88 i am guessing here that Obama and the Bright Spark Bolshevik's have decided to take their chances with the nukes rather than face a hostile homecoming reception.
Surely these sociopath's realise that they're leaving behind kids who in all probability will be applying for a Harvard which has been burned to the ground.
Maybe not . . .
Well sometimes I get swayed a little.
Let's list some alternatives.
- USA is become more like Israel, More Militaristic, more Police State, More Secrets & Spies, More Aggressive, More Reliant on MIC, MIC Spending, Propaganda
- Right Wing in USA is never happy with US Military, US Military Spending Level, and believes US Political Sentiment must be pulled back to the Right... They always need a Boogy-man, Need Fear, Need Narratives, Need new Enemies, Need False Flags to create more Military Power & Security State
- MIC Industry always need Security Failures like 911, Cyber Threats, Space Threats, Asian & Russian Threats, Muslim Threats, Drug Cartel Threats... they plan failures to provide opportunity for Propaganda
- US Pulled Combat Tanks out of Europe, NATO was low key participant in Iraq & Afghanistan, and although US got additional agreements for Missile defense systems in Eastern Europe... the gist is smaller foot print for US Military in Europe = Lower Budget movement & Loss of Major Combat Commands for which Careers and Power are build
- Political Careers, Government Careers in the State Department and other Government Policy areas are not the only people by a long shot that are networking, many are working in Foundations, Think Tanks, Publishing, International orgs from Economics, International Relations, Diplomacy, Peace organizations, ... front orgs.
- All Big Institutions organize around Power, holding power, and increasing power & responsibility... Churches, Monarchies, Corporations, States, Unions, international organizations or treaty organizations... they all want to play in pulling power from the USA or influencing other countries
Not sure what I had in mind here. I've missed some things.
All of our history of the last 10,000 years has been destroyed by the winners of campaigns to hold empires. The Church of Rome did this and destroyed most of our history except for the bible... only now we have more bits and pieces from Science and Study.
What History is being destroyed today? I think it is our laws, Regulations, simple original tax replaced by one where we need priests or experts to go to God and interpret the Word of God... while we pay for those experts in taxes, accounting, finance - they destroy the US Constitution.
Where is power? What is the nature of power?
- Banking, Law, Lobbying, Politics, VICHY DC, Wall Street, London, our Court Systems where the wealthy can leverage their money to win
What is the nature of war & making war... looks like it is about holding power, increasing power, advancing careers, gaining entry to networks or cabals... being able to write history... seize resources... Coerce Contract Rights... create a power greater than governments & states in the form of some corporation or treaty organization.
Seriously, have you seen neither the original nor the recent remake of "King Kong?"
There is your analogy.
Though King Kong is a lot more sympathetic than the US. His love for Fay Wray is genuine.
America's love for Angela Merkel is false and manipulative.
We are at the scene when Obama, having clawed his way to the top of the Empire State, holding Merkel by her dumplings, is about to be punished, along with everybody else for having elected the clewless Negro twice.
Or for not leaving the country after his reelection.
Another incredibly stupid essay. I agree with the premise that America is on the decline, and I could even argue that the decline is deserved, however the reasons the author puts forth are just confiramtion bias bull**** of an enfeebled mind bound by post-modern rationalism.
I could go on, but I think the picture is clear: Happy trails John Chuckman.
Would you care to enlighten us by refuting the author's arguments, point by point, with convincing counter-arguments backed up by references?
Peace.
That would involve critical thought, not emotive jingo,something
his post proves he is incapable of.I doubt he read past the first para.
Maybe you could start knee slapping to induce awareness. Read the article again and see if you get the picture. I refer you to these sections:
1. Dominion over the earth.
2. America simply cannot accept its mistakes or that it was ever wrong, for Americanism much resembles a fundamentalist religion whose members are incapable of recognizing or admitting they ever followed anything but the divine plan.
Maybe it has to do religion.
fu
let's hear your version professor
anybody that throws phrases around like: "confiramtion bias bull**** of an enfeebled mind bound by post-modern rationalism."
must have something to say.
come on we'll listen even if your wife won't. lmao
Well, anyways and slightly OT, I have a question for my fellow ZHer's. I have been out of the gun market,(buying) for several years. When I was active I accumulated a lot of cool stuff and a lot of ammo but there was an oversight/underfunding issue.
Here is the question: What is my best value on a semi-automatic 7.62x54R rifle? The prices are off the charts full retard these days. The issue is that I have shitloads of ammo and only some Mosin-Nagants to shoot it up with and that will never happen. In fact I just bought 880 rounds in sealed tins of some Bulgarian heavy ball steel core for $30 at a garage sale.(no shit) I do not want to sell the ammo even though I would make bank doing so. Conversely, I don't need an old battle axe semi-auto from some satellite country that will cost me more than a grand. I would spend a grand if it is the right rifle but which is one is the best choice?
I looked all over online and I can't really trust any of what I read there. I do not want a piece of shit but I am not collecting here either. It never hurts to ask the ZH crowd because undoubtedly someone else know the answer and won't bullshit me. I think it would be fun to take some of my Russian/Ukrainian friends out shooting and do it right. The kids could keep learning about shooting and shoot that Ruger 10/22 Charger I bought for them to learn on.(off paper)
Thanks Mani
Give the VEPR a try, a buddy of mine has one and loves it.

Just watch the ammo you buy in bulk from different places, some of it will be corrosive meaning you have to clean your gun after shooting.
The Vepr shoots as well as an SVD and is a little cheaper. Needs a rail system though. I saw this video, but I am not really interested in this type of rifle. Here it is:

LWRC is the best $$ can buy. I've even seen them new for as low as 13 hundred bucks. Plenty easy to shop around. Why buy Russian?

Good article. Will be interesting to see how much threatening cognitive dissonance it stirs up. Cue defence mechansims: repression, denial, projection and reaction formation.

Good find.
This theory will override their instinct for survival allowing the head loppings. This will be the grand self-destruction of the X-ians. Hopefully before they launch a nuclear war.

The NWO is trying to collapse America because they see armed Americans as the last thing between them and their global government.
They are counting on your normalcy bias. They are counting on you to blame accident, inevitability, greed, America, blacks, whites, Democrats, Republicans, or anyone else ... anyone instead of them.
Suteibu, maybe a little more knee slapping would help. If this doesn’t help, try reading the two posts above.
I believe that at this time the majority of Americans hate this Government as much as foreigners and foreign Governments do. It should be plain to see, that the US Government has declared war on the American people to please their puppet masters.
A good "beast" metaphor for the USA is it is an 18 year old pit bull with one eye . . . .the dog is old and partially crippled and even then it can still look mean and inflict painful bites. But bash it in the head one good time with a baseball bat and the danger is mostly over for good . . . .
It is okay. The President has the brains of a flailing beast. It is a perfect match.

The United States is indeed a dangerous beast, the second beast of Revelation 13.

Trippy, very trippy.. Sleep well.
We lose WW3 with 50 million dead.
Wrong Paradigm, no losers in Global Thermonuclear war.
You need to think like a globalist or the wealthy.
The wealthy don't measure:
- Human Lives
- Human Refugees, Disease there from, Rape & Murder there from
- Businesses & Economies Destroyed
- Loss of Homes and Facilities: Industrial businesses, Small Businesses, family Businesses, community skills or technology in crafts, leather, ceramics, textiles, art, artisans, culture, language, museums, family history, people history, lifestyle history
There are huge losses in war. US Bureaucrats are the coldest in the world right now. Cold.
But 5000 degrees celsius may turn out as too hot even for reptiles.
Europe's smartest leaders?
You must be joking. I can think of only one country in Europe that has something resembling a leader and it's a country of no real consequence.
The rest of them are spineless treators that are seeing to their own countries' demise on many fronts.
In a way Victoria Nuland was right when she said "fuck the EU". Why wouldn't she when EU bends over willingly, presenting its bare and pre-lubed ass.
You and all the girls of your city would be my servants?
Well,... yes I am your god. I am a bird man. You will be my servants.
Screw the 21st Century.
Israel - Harmless Obsession or Dangerously Toxic American Fetish?
America is best by problems, but Jewish-and-Zionist capture is the most dangerous, in no small part, because it is the one that neither government nor public can even freely speak about.
fuck america, I hope Putin Nukes DC when the full congress is in session and fuckin Oshit head is reading the tele promter while he jacks off
USA/UK created in monster when they created Israel.
If no Israel, there would be few problems in the Middle East and terrorism would be very minimal.
Uh, the Sunnis and Shia have been cutting each other up with swords since the day Mohammad died with no successor. If Israel didn't exist they would still be hacking each other up. Israeli weapons - which are available freely in Yemen and Iraq now - just speeds that process up. The US could pull CENTCOM out of the Middle East today and every troop, ship and place from the Middle East and Turkey and you would only see the killing increase. Look at the bombing of the Shia mosques in Saudi and Kuwait - this is now Transnational Sunni Shia war with or without the Western World.
Remember, Mohammed was 'visited by an Angel' in the desert. As I know you have not read the bible here is a reference for you.
Galatians 1:8King James Version (KJV)8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
"At times, it comes to me like the ringing of a bell. This affects me the most. When it leaves me, I have retained what was said. At other times, The Angel appears to me in the form of a man", Prophet Mohammed, as described in The Muqaddimah by Ibn Khaldun of how an angel taught him Islam (which of courses mean submission to god).
“Just Us”, their minions, and the FSA may be flailing about when they are not busy killing.
Regardless of the 8th grade propaganda mills, a preponderance of rural Americans realize that the current government is committing national suicide and are hedging accordingly.
Nothing lasts forever.
Whose reality are you living in?
The metaphor I've used for years is King Kong...so giant he climbs tge tallest building (at the time) and looks indestructible. But wave after wave of bullets weakens him and finally he falls.
much better metaphorIMO as it reminds you that you better hope and do your best to make sure it doesndo land on you when it comes crashing down inevitably.
More like Tyrannosaurus Rex than Wooly Mammoth.
And just as ugly.
