There Are No Safe Spaces
Submitted by Howard Kunstler via Kunstler.com,
I'm not persuaded that world opinion will ever “make sense” of the Paris attacks. The non-linear rules the day. So-called Fourth Generation Warfare works because there are so many small arms loose in the world and any band of maniacs with a few machine guns and a pound of Semtex plastic explosive can create the equivalent of a war zone in a given locality.
As for the French military, the obvious first move was to bomb the ISIS “stronghold” of Raqqa. But haven’t the US and Russian air forces been doing exactly that for some time now? Either they’ve already bombed the place and everything in it to gravel, or air power is not what it’s cracked up to be — and we have plenty of reason to believe the latter after a decade of selectively pounding jihadists from Afgahnistan to Libya with nothing to show for it except a refugee crisis.
One thing seems assured: hard-line governments are coming soon. Politically, the West had boundary problems that go way beyond the question of national borders to the core psychology of modern liberalism. When is enough of anything enough? And then, what are you really willing to do about it? The answer lately among the Western societies is to do little and do it slowly.
The behavior of college administrators and faculties in the USA these days is emblematic of this cowardly dithering. Intellectual despotism reigns on campus and the university presidents roll over like possums. They don’t have the moral strength to defend free speech as the campus witch-hunts ramp up. The result will be first the intellectual death of their institutions (brain death), and then the actual death of college per se as a plausible route to personal socioeconomic development. The financial racketeering that has infected higher education — the engineering of the gargantuan college loan scam in tandem with the multiplication of “diversity” deanships and tuition inflation — pretty much guarantees an implosion of that system.
The cowardice in the college executive suites is mirrored in our national politics, where no persons of real standing will dare step forward to oppose the juggernaut of Hillary-the-Grifter, or take on the clowning Donald Trump on the grounds of his sheer mental unfittedness to lead a government. In case you haven’t noticed, the center not only isn’t holding, it gave way some time ago. The long emergency is showing signs of morphing into something like civil war. The Maoists on campus apparently want to turn it into race war, too.
So many forces are in motion now and they are all tending toward criticality. The European Union may not survive the reestablishment of boundaries, since it was largely based on the elimination of them. Spain and Portugal are back to breaking down politically again. The Paris bloodbath has discredited Angela Merkel’s plea for “tolerance” — of what is proving to be an intolerable alien invasion. The only political figure on the scene who doesn’t appear to be talking out of his ass is Vlad Putin, who correctly stated at the UN that undermining basic institutions around the world was not a good idea.
None of this is good, either, for a global economy constructed around long, hyper-complex, and fragile chains of obligation, the most critical being global finance and global energy lines. You think the Paris attacks were bad? Just wait until a few maniacs lob some explosives at the giant Ras Tanura oil refinery and shipping terminal on Saudi Arabia’s Persian Gulf coast. Imagine if that happens in the middle of winter, when Europe is freezing. Do you suppose the Big Brains in the Pentagon think about that? The West itself, including America, is a circus of soft targets. The softest ones are between our ears.

The French have been doing exactly that for some time, now, which is why Paris was attacked.
"Just wait until a few maniacs lob some explosives at the giant Ras Tanura oil refinery and shipping terminal on Saudi Arabia’s Persian Gulf coast"
Say... if anyone wants their job back in Texas or the Bakken you may want to go on a Persian Gulf cruise...

if he would just come out and say the root of almost every problem is the money changers, same pegging of respect meter. he seems one notch off from reality, but heading in that direction, but veers left on auto brain damaged unchangable brain neutron paths on auto think...
very well put, New Game - + 1 Quadrillion Derivatives
As I understand it - the Russians are nowhere near Raqqa. They are much further South. I think it is that sort of arrangement which keeps all those planes from running into each other.
They are also sharing IFF codes.
I would also guess there is a very small, very secret US+Russian Joint Command setup in a hotel in Ankara.
Might was well do it right if they are gonna do it at all. At least the Russians would recommend it I'm sure.
The long game is to split Iraq into 3 states, possibly including parts of Syria
There are a LOT of countries in the world that aren't being threatened by ISIS terrorists. Maybe the average person should look at what they are doing to combat terrorism.
Here is what they are NOT doing:
- They are NOT bombing the fuck out of ME countries
- They are not overthrowing stable regimes (dictatorships or not)
- They are not funding "moderate" fundamentalists
So far for a LOT of countries, this radical strategy has proved effective.
Too barbaric for our sophisticated brains to grok, apparently.
Had that exact discussion with the same talking points at lunch. The response was, "but terrists, Putin, bad, hate our freedoms...bomb them int the stone age..." These were pretty smart guys, so I just dropped it. If they can't see it, I won't convince them.
I agree that meddling in the ME is the cause and origin of a lot of the fundamentalism there.
However, at this point we're in for a penny, so we might as well be in for a pound. The reason I say that is, there's no stopping radical islam at this point without bloodshed. Yes, perhaps if before we invaded Saddams Iraq, we had instead attempted to actually have a spine and deal only with those muslim leaders who actually cared about human rights, things would be drastically different now.
The fact is, we didn't, we chose the Saudis (and Israel) as our allies. Just about the worst mistake imaginable, because while they appeared as moderates at the time, they were actually anything but human rights examples.
The reason we can't just put our guns away now and expect the muslim world to pull itself together and accept western human rights values is the fact that we've destroyed moderate islam. We destroyed it. We destroyed it by supporting the wrong people in the ME for decades and giving every moderate muslim a reason to cling to sharia law and some hope for an islamic revival to world power status.
At this point, we have no choice, we have created our enemy, and we'll have to fight them.
I have to argue against that not just because it sentences us to our rightful fate and position in history. We destroyed moderate muslim societies--we were serial killers in more ways than one--but we didn't "destroy moderate Islam." It still exists . . . but like the zombified citizens of the West, they're not resisting the psychopaths very well.
Our government destroyed their societies and killed their people.
I'm guessing the moderates there are still in shock and reality-based terror for their lives . . . real threats every day all day.
Not watching Dancing With the Stars and ESPN.
The moderates are still the majority, but as long as we keep making the "radicals" look good and young, disaffected males flock to them for lack of any reasonably promising alternative, the moderate majority will kinda hang back. And be glad to live to see another day.
We should just leave them people alone. All of them.
If we suffer only a little bit for our past transgressions still, so be it.
We can't keep being senseless and evil. We don't have to fight nobody unless they come here.
So which are these countries?
They certainly aren't the countries of Africa, none of which have been bombing the ME or funding anyone or overthrowing "stable regimes" and yet many of which are plagued by mohammedan terrorism.
Whilst I agree that most western policy about the ME has been stupid, the reality is that any country with a significant number of mohammedans ends up with terrorism. You will find that the countries without terrorism have very few mohammedans. That is the common denominator,not whether they have been bombing the ME.
Bazza, Yes, and the path is spelled out in their "holy" book. Use terror to convert people and if it doesn't work kill them. That is the exact written goal of their combined political, religious and social nightmare called Islam.
Laughing at this meme constantly reproduced by these mynas that somehow "this is all our fault." All talk no walk. Expect it to continue until shit is blowing up thirty metres from their 20, at which point they will literally crawl up the ass of that individual who is throwing the most brass around.
Still the "JV squad":

I guess the French needed an excuse to get involved in the murder. People don't like murdering innocent people unless there is a good reason.
So, who wanted to give the French government a good reason to murder innocent people? Was it jihadists or maybe the French government itself?
Raqqa is a large city that still has a civilian population of about 200,000 people.

Sure, the answer is to bomb it to oblivion. Madness rulez.
That would never light an enraged fire in me that would make me want to kill everyone and everything bombing me, no, not at all.

It won't be easy at first but eventually it will all make sense.
It makes sense to me after only 5 minutes of reading. Thanks for the link!
You're welcome.
If you have a good grasp of (real) history things will make sense quickly. If not it's going to be a giant clusterfuck for a while.
People like to think of "character" as something set in stone, but in reality it is more fluid than that by far. Look at the Germans in the 30's. Stockholm Syndrome, The Milgram Experiment, etc. Problem we have, imo, is that our society has been conceded to the most compelling storytellers and we are still like children sitting spellbound at story time or primitive clans around a campfire huddled against the threats in the surrounding darkness. We haven't evolved much as a species.
How many really talented narcissists wouldn't "become sociopaths" if nothing got in their way? Not that many, if you really think about it. People kissing your ass and greasing the skids all the way. What is gonna stop you?
Once the fully evil choices have to be made, only the most successfully manipulative and cut-throat people have "risen" to those positions. Evil gets done by the people who think they have to do it because they're the only people worthy to make the decision. But their path has been cleared by sychopants every step of the way who fed that grandiose delusion with passionate devotion.
We could blame the "sociopaths." But I think it's the majority's responsibility to keep them in check.
I still hate 'em, of course. But then I look at us . . .
God Bless America.

Can't expect them to sugar coate it.
At this point do the people in Raqqa even know who is bombing them? Planes all look the same at 15,000+ft.
My guess is there is very little electricity to be had for finding out things online. Khaled looks like a well discplined extremist, who happened to find a picture of the cutest little girl in Syria.
Rocking the Boat causes serious damage to your Health.
nothing to show for?
They already killed over 6 million people!!
Mostly innocent, women and children. And we wonder why they're kind of "upset"???
If you killed my family, I'd take out a few of the killers also! Fuck that! The more the merry!
Surprised? What was the first thing France did? Kill some of them! Eye for an eye! And that can never end because nobody wants to look weak in the eyes of their enemy.
What's the first thing we think about when one of us is killed? KILL KILL KILL!!!
And those American drones are still working as public relations machines. The killing in Paris? WE DO THAT EVERY DAY OVER THERE!!
When did all those "terrorist" crap start? 2002!! Right after America decided to "liberate" that region to death!
Started long before that SD.
Just because those US fighter bombers,and the bombs they carry, have
blue starts of David on them, help people on the recceiving end for 65 years to differeniate.
They are US bombs dropped on them by US bombers.
Can't say I blame them for their antipathy to the US.I would feel the same way.
Telling that to a bunch of rednecks in a bar, nearly got me killed.Luckily they were to
drunk to catch me.
Some of those Iraqi’s wake-up to look at their deformed kids and siblings laying on the floor squirming for food. Deformed from Depleted Uranium bombs being dropped on their heads.
Yeh, and some of those deformed kids are due to inbreeding which mahommedism allows, but easier to blame someone else.
The "terrorist crap" started once the Arabs became enriched by oil (basically free money to fund the expansion of mahommedism). It certainly didn't start in 2002. In case you have forgotten, 911 was in 2001.
Your point about cycles of retribution is right, which is why if you are involved in a war you need to take the action that will destroy your enemy (think US Civil War, WWII). Ultimately, as in this case, it is eventually them or you. You certainly don't want to fill your home territory with the enemy's people, as stupid western politicians have done.
Instead of being honest that there is an existential war being waged by mahommedans, which started a thousand years before whites came to the Americas, which Europeans had won after hundreds of years of conflict, but which now has been reignited by oil revenues, by handouts to the enemy and by leftist hatred of their own countries, most western politicians have fiddled and dithered and done enough to make the situation worse but not anywhere near enough to fix it. In fact they have not acknowledged that there is a war and who the antagonists are.
"go pound sand"
The west... "O'kay"
...a few maniacs lob some explosives at the giant Ras Tanura...
Given that the most likely person(s) to lob explosives will either be local puppets of the Iranians acting at the behest of the Russians, or the Iranians acting directly at the behest of the Russians (with something travelling significantly faster than "lobbed" explosives), I'm not sure "maniac" is the correct word to use there.
What you meant to say was Mossad agents.
Because the evil Joooos are so stupid they would in one action both cut off the free financing for their current acquisition of Syrian territory and at the same time drive the Jewbuck cost of their petroleum imports through the roof... No, I don't live in a trailer park and didn't mean to say Mossad agents, thank you.
Minor quibble but the Jews have owned that particular real estate since '67.
When Syria lost the war they lost the territory. That's the way wars work. In fact, it's pretty much the reason for most of them.
It's like saying Texas belongs to Mexico even though that contention could be argued considering a large contingent of it's population.
Maybe someday the UN will vote to give it back.
I make no moral pronouncements but simply state a fact borne out by reality.
There is a legal difference between ownership and occupancy, which is probably why the UN General Assembly, Security Council, and Human Rights Council have all voted to demand the thieving Jews who make up the government of Israel to return what they stole.
"Vlad Putin, who correctly stated at the UN that undermining basic institutions around the world was not a good idea."
That sort of thing has Nobel Peace Prize written all over it.
Sorry cougar that particular award has been tainted in recent years.
Recent years, really?
The Scandinavians lack something (insight? self-respect? integrity?) in regards to awarding the "soft" Nobel Prizes.
http://nobelpeaceprize.org/en_GB/nomination_intro/members/
For Physics etc., I suppose the selection committees are OK, but I tend to think that the "laureates" of the Literature and Peace prizes are, till proven otherwise, hacks chosen based on political expediency.
Except Jooland, that is always safe.
Mr. Kunstler, I appoint you....the official 'Jester of Congress' (god, we need one)

Or in Kunt's case, btw/ his legs!
That's why they made Viagra!
I've said this before - but I'm glad I live in a country which is not involved in any foreign 'interventions'. Karma.
Europe gets most of its oil from Russia, not KSA. The refugee crisis is not related to bombings, at all. Russian bombing just this week helped end the year long siege of Aleppo's Kwairis airport.
That's just a first run of cleaning out the bullshit. Not worth my time. Why peddle it?

Guest Post: Is Trump Worse Than Hitler? By James H. Kunstler, August 24, 2015
Why So Much Jewish Fear And Loathing Of Donald Trump?
By Kevin MacDonald, PhD October 29, 2015
"...no persons of real standing will dare step forward to oppose the juggernaut of Hillary-the-Grifter, or take on the clowning Donald Trump on the grounds of his sheer mental unfittedness to lead a government."
Begging the question, "Like who of so-called 'real standing'?" From what I can see, Trump stands head-and-shoulders above what passes for "the elite" in this country, the vast majority if not all of whom are thumb-sucking crony-capitalist dumbshits. So it's not saying much that he does.
I don't trust the dude any further than I can throw him. He's a right-wing statist to Obama the left-wing statist. Yen and Yang. Snowden is the litmus test. Anybody who says he's traitor, that person is a statist.
Yeah, but Trump is also going to be the next President of the United States. Because people of all political stripes are fed up to the gills with this open borders horse crap. The vein of disaffection he has tapped is deep. No matter how they answer poll questions, in the privacy of the booth, they're going to pull the lever for him.
Think I'm wrong? Just watch the Republi-can'ts' primaries. They're going to be blow-outs. After which he's going to smash into Hillary, with that one issue, like a runaway freight train.
For good or ill, it is what it is....
POPCORN TIME!
I could go for Condoleezza Rice.
The times are working for Trump on both security and economic grounds, and he is actually a masterful user of the media despite being opposed by it.
People are angry about illegals. Who do they think will really do anything about it other than Trump?
They are angry about lost jobs and offshoring of US production and jobs. No one believes Clinton, or Bush, or Rubio, or most of the others will do anything but continue the decline in the pay of their lobbyists. Trump is the only one who has identified the problem, said how he will fix it and looks capable of action to do so.
They are angry about the influx of muslims, the attacks that come with them, and the refusal of politicians of all stripes to speak honestly about the matter and act to protect Americans. Carson, Trump, Cruz and perhaps Rand are the only ones who sound as though they want to do something about this in a way that will actually protect Americans.
They are tired of foreign wars that waste US resources and get good people killed or maimed while achieving nothing. Most of the politicians on both sides just want to continue these disasters. Trump is one of the few that does not and who talks sense (working with Putin, destroying ISIS oil revenue, etc).
All of these problems will continue to get worse under Obama so that by the time of the election the platform for Trump will be even stronger. No one believes Clinton is capable of doing anything positive about any one of them, plus a majority of the electorate believes she is a liar, and don't expect a lot of blacks to be turning out to elect a disgusting old, white granny.
Yet Kunstler, claims Trump is a clown. That speaks volumes about Kunstler's interests.
No one in the MSM will ask but if France was able to bomb ISIS headquarters over the weekend, WHAT THE FUCK has the US been doing for the last couple of years and WHAT THE FUCK has Russia been doing for the past month or so??? Don't you bomb their headquarters first???
This reminds me of good old world war I where all of the countries sent their armies out to sit in trenches for a few years and die horrible deaths via gas. No country seemed to think that it would be a good idea to just go around the enemy trenches and attack their homes thus drawing the opponent out of their trenches. It was fucking dumb but it was fucking profitable with no one going anywhere. See Vietnam, Afghanistan (Russia and US),...
Like Germans going through Belgium?
This might help your confusion on why they didn't "Just go around".
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Western_front_1915-1...
First you assume that there is an identifiable "ISIS headquarters" because you were told so by a French politician who must show his people that he is "doing something" after allowing many of them to be killed or wounded.
Russia has been very clear about what it is doing, i.e. eliminating the military opposition to Assad's government on the ground, using genuine military action of coordinated air and ground attacks (the latter by Iranian and Syrian forces) and that means working out from Assad's strong points, first capturing the nearest areas held by opposition forces, which happen to mainly not be ISIS, and working on from there. Don't expect Russia to get caught up in playing a game defined by Obama or the US MSM.
Now as to what US forces have been doing, that is another matter, given Obama claimed to be suppressing ISIS (of course he has actually enabled rather than suppressed islamists everywhere). Since the start of his campaign, Trump has said the US shouls have destroyed ISISs oil capacity to deprive them of funds. Yet Obama had never taken this obvious step until now, after France has bombed a few buildings in a town where there may be some ISIS people. Draw your own conclusions.
THE PERMANENT PROTEST
Chronic social irritation can do lasting damage to the fabric of a nation. By falsely accusing people of racism . . . or sexism . . . or homophobia . . . or Islamophobia — or whatever other “ism” or phobia they come up with next — these agitators are creating angst and hatred in people’s hearts that wasn’t there previously.
But maybe that’s the objective. As Alinsky advised Obama and other young radicals: “A revolutionary organizer must shake up the prevailing patterns of lives — agitate, create disenchantment and discontent with the current values [until] masses of people have reached the point of disillusionment with past ways and values. . . . The time is then ripe for revolution.”

of course we are going to get hard-line gov. the gov are losing power. they will kick the shit out of anyone that opposes that power.
Kunstler is a paranoid Jew barking it up for his tribe when he claims that " hardline gubbermints are coming soon." Kunstler wants hardline dictatorship because that is the only governance that will keep him in the chips, along with all the other Zionists like him. Without constant warmongering the MIC will suffer downsizing just like every other industry in the Western World. The MIC is behind this entire push to war, and bombing campaigns, so that they retain market share in the endless wars of aggression they continually plan out in circle jerks at the Pentagon 24/7/365.
"Terrorism" - (n) a media-sensational act of violence that contributes to only an absolutely minuscule extent to fatality rates which is then used through gross inflation of that statistically minuscule hazard to justify the establishment of a police state and the continuation or acceleration of the counterproductive geopolitical military misadventures that inspired the terrorist act. See also: "perfect feedback loop to police states"
You're using an old dictionary. By allowing literally tens of thousands of trained and armed jihadists to enter Europe unchecked and unopposed, the death toll will most certainly rise to serious proportions in the coming years.
I guess the public caught up with the illusory nature of the threat, which is now purposely being heightened to bring the public back in line.
That was the old WOT.
With the immigrant flood and now Paris, we are proud to announce a 'New and Improved' War on Terror.
Coming soon to your neighborhood if you don't stop punching holes in our old War on Terror.
"By allowing literally tens of thousands of trained and armed jihadists to enter Europe unchecked and unopposed"
Sorry, I was referring to terrorism as it pertains to the US and even 9/11 was a minor blip in the US death statistics. To paraphrase Ben Franklin - those who sacrifice essential liberties for illusory safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
America has been a thorn in the side for oligarchs ever since they realized there is an American Spirit in many of its people that despises empire and despises slavery. It has lain dormant for some time, after the 20th Century proved to be the era of mass murdering Democide and world wars which somehow was successfully blamed on -isms instead of seen for the oligarch arranged disaster that it was.
Because the oligarchs always divide and conquer, the pattern of attacking the "government" of an area followed by partitioning and exploiting the people has been established. Because America was afflicted with the "United States Government" sometime ago, the "United States" became the preeminant tool for destroying and subjugating the people of the 3rd world. As this practice has now spread to the 2nd World, problems are beginning to arise both at home and abroad.
The American Spirit is the embodiment of centuries of thought beginning with the Enlightenment. It is the notion that no one may own a fellow human being. This is the most dangerous notion imaginable to the oligarchs. As such, this fact is now encouraging the slavemasters to liquidate their tool known as the "United States".
Having expended all the goodwill the world used to feel for America, the people here are being set up as the villains of the planet. The armed forces are depleted, the gargantuan military budget produces nothing to replace the inventory. America is a patsy.
If there is some kind of nuclear war, it is likely that the "United States" will fail to use its nuclear arsenal. Somehow, against all odds, the attack against American cities will go unanswered and a magical first strike scenario will miraculously succeed. This is the only way the oligarch globalists believe they can finally end the American threat and partition the continent for exploitation the way some imagine Russia was planned for partitioning. It has been a successful plan to dominate billions of people for a long time, after which "financialization" was deployed to obscure what was really going on. Global fiat currency equals global slavery.
And the kicker is that people will be supporting the "US Government" as their avatar in the conflict rather than America, the country of human beings with common values to which they actually belong. It is an incredible heist of people's spirits. If people had their eyes open, they would see that all 330 million of us are a culture, a people regardless of ethnicity. And they would see that we should pledge allegience to each other, not to the flag of the usurper.
So the question is, who is the supreme commander US Nuclear Forces, the one who has been overseeing the inventory and responsible for its immediate deployment in the event of an attack? To whom does this individual owe his allegience?
i don't know. canada and britain just elected progressives. i think the pendulum is swinging back. .gov would not acknowledge internet dissent if they didn't feel threatened. obambam and the zionazis are shocked by the support putin has received for his leadership. i bet they are even more afraid of the sheer amount of anti.gov sentiment out there that has only recently become known because people are beginning to realize most people know something is wrong with the 9/11 story, the iraq war, the present syrian conflict and the sickening support of the baby killers(real ones) in tel aviv. trump and bernie are the result only because they are different. the first one who declares war on the zionazis running the usa will be the next president.
The first one who declares war on the Zionazis running the USA will be the next ASSASSINATED president.

couple of thoughts:
1. "The only political figure on the scene who doesn’t appear to be talking out of his ass is Vlad Putin" - true but terrorifying...
2. "None of this is good, either, for a global economy constructed around long, hyper-complex, and fragile chains of obligation, the most critical being global finance and global energy lines. " just wait till cash is banned (for nirp) & barrier to entry for shutting down us economy is lowered from widebody airliners to a set of posthole diggers to cut a few fiber lines...
The first lesson nobody learned after 9/11 is that there are no innocent victims. You are on one side or the other, period. The reason why the war on terror has gone nowhere in decades is that the "civilized" world, if you want to call it that, has lost all capacity to inflict real brutality on their enemies. Captain Kurtz in Apocalypse Now said that horror and moral terror are either your friends or enemies to be truly feared.
Even worse, and more poorly though out, than the usual dogs' breakfast vomited out by Kunstler.
'Fourth Generation Warfare' is so early 21st century.
Fifth Generation Warfare is warfare of the people by the people for the people.
They better have an iPhone app if they want it to catch on.
Fascism is a hungry bitch. It grows in the ditch along with hubris and greed and feeds on the naive instinct of common man : the irrepressible lightness of being that "exceptionalist" hubris manipulates to the benefit of an aristocratic elite who thinks the sun never sets on its "non-negotiable" way of living; all built on irredeemable debt, and frenetic consumption of the bio-sphere's limited resources that the "useful idiots" like blind sheeple do build in their glory in the image of the ancient pyramids.
The limits are not those we think they are. The limits are in our spirit of mindless beliefs in mirages which are the opposite of Aristotle's, Thucydide's and the Enlightenment's legacy.
Rational man is no match for primal screams of Adam's legacy. The fault lies not in our stars that we stay the underlings; like Sisyphus, going up and down our eternal hill.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Communist gibberish. Get over your Greek philosophers that promoted 100% government control. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For, I am Remnant.
ok sisyphus.
Until the Russians joined the fray at the end of September, the coalition, under the leadership of the Chocolate Snowflake, was wildly exaggerating how much they were pounding ISIS.
A few months back the Pentagon explained they were not hitting ISIS's tanker trucks as it would upset the locals. A billion dollars in profits later, ISIS has shot down a Russian passenger plane and on Friday attacked Paris.
The US on today shot up 116 ISIS oil tanker trucks. Those trucks could have been put out of commission a year ago, but the Negro was more concerned with breaking the Russian economy than with destroying ISIS>
Something is very rotten in the United States these days.
That's what happens in a gun free safe zone. Helping to ensure helplessness and require you to turn to armed corporate paid state employees for help.
The only one's trying to disarm anyone or prevent them from protecting and defending themselves are tyrants, terrorists and traitors.
Any organization or group that bans or inhibits the lawful ownership of any weapons at least equal to the capabilities of those used by the state, which typically have the most powerful weapons, fall into one or more of those 3 categories.
Not just in Chicago or France but anywhere.
Between all the approval-whoring statements Kunstler's true colors are shining through:
so many small arms loose in the world
As the feud between the so-called christians and muslims continues to be promoted and grow, who benefits? Is it not the ashkeNazis, zionisits, waiting on the sidelines, hoping for the fulfillment of their age-old dream... that of a geater israhell and a weak and depopulated neighbourhood?
I guess they must have screwed up giving away the Sinai and the Gaza strip.
Jews...Go figure. You would think they would know better.
The news reported that the US destroyed a bunch of fuel trucks today with A-10s. However before they blew up the trucks, the airplanes flew over the convoy and dropped leaflets so the ISIS drivers could abandon their trucks and not get injured.
These guys are laughing their asses off at us. We're not waging war - we don't even want the bad guys to get hurt. Meanwhile they infiltrate Paris and kill a bunch of innocent civilians.
progressive punishment
ouch, that hurt
