Swiss Army Chief Warns Of Social Unrest, Calls Upon Citizens To Arm Themselves

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Swiss army chief André Blattmann warned, in a Swiss newspaper article on Sunday, the risks of social unrest in Europe are soaring. Recalling the experience of 1939/1945, Blattman fears the increasing aggression in public discourse is an explosively hazardous situation, and advises the Swiss people to arm themselves and warns that the basis for Swiss prosperity is "being called into question."

As Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten reports, speaking on the record for the first time since the November Paris terror attacks, Blattmann told the paper that despite a rise in security incidents over the past two years Switzerland’s means of defence were being reduced.

The situation is growing increasingly risky, Blattman begins.

 

"The threat of terror is rising, hybrid wars are being fought around the globe; the economic outlook is gloomy and the resulting migration flows of displaced persons and refugees have assumed unforeseen dimensions."

 

Blattmann: "Social unrest can not be ruled out", the vocabulary in public discourse will "dangerously aggressive."

 

"The mixture is increasingly unappetizing" Blattmann sees the basis of Swiss prosperity, "has long been once again called into question."

 

He recalls the situation around the two world wars in the last century and advises Switzerland, to arm themselves.

 

The Swiss Armed Forces had held many years ago maneuver, in which the starting point was focused on social unrest in Europe.

Swiss politicians, of course, responded with disbelief to the army chief and hold his warnings are exaggerated.

Many cities in Switzerland are already infested and too dangerous to walk out at night. A good example is Geneva...total cesspool esp around the train station.

 

It will only get worse unless they do the humane thing --- round them up and send them home and guard their borders like 'the old days.'

This is from The Arizona Rifleman blog

He is former Arizonan doing his graduate degree in Physics in Switzerland.

A common meme going around the gun control circles these days is that, though the Swiss have lots of guns, they’re not allowed to keep ammunition at home, and that ammo is only available at authorized shooting ranges. The implication being that if the US restricted ammo in the same way, it’d be just as safe as Switzerland.

This claim is false, but there’s some subtleties involved that cause confusion. Hopefully I can clear things up a bit.

  • Up until 2012 the Swiss military required that soldiers (which is nearly all military-age men, due to their mandatory service) keep their military-issued rifle and a sealed box of military-issued ammo at home. This was intended to be used in case of invasion, so that soldiers could fight their way to a local armory to get more ammo, equipment, etc. In 2012, in light of the political and military stability in Europe, the military stopped issuing ammo for soldiers to keep at home and recalled the ammo that was previously issued.
  • The Swiss government encourages marksmanship by subsidizing ammunition sold at shooting ranges, even if that ammo is not used in the military-issued rifle. Subsidized ammo is intended only for training purposes, and it must be used at the range and cannot be taken home.
  • Similarly to the US, sporting goods stores and gun shops sell unsubsidized commercial ammo to gun owners for their own use. This ammo can be kept at home and used for any lawful purpose, such as self-defense, recreational or competitive shooting, hunting, etc.

Clear? Good. Now stop perpetuating falsehoods.

The Swiss people are armed, but unfortunately most people in the west are not.

The consequences of the liberal elites agenda is now coming home to roost - not for them of course because they will run and hide in the bunkers that we paid for with out taxes when SHTF - but for the rest of the population who will be left to fight for their lives like savages!

The agenda is clear......

"Germany has always been the pawn." --General George S. Patton

Instead of recalling “the experience of 1939/1945” as a reason for arms, why doesn’t Blattmann, who was a guest of Israeli Chief-of-Staff Benny Gantz four years ago and was indoctrinated at Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial institution in Jerusalem, further recall Europe’s experience with Bolshevism before 1939 and its continuing "experience"with Stalin after 1945?

“Without the Americans,” i.e., FDR at Yalta alongside the man, Marshal Stalin, a major chunk of Eastern Europe would not have been doomed to despotic slavery and human butchery, imprisoned and forgotten behind an iron curtain with the blessings of the U.S. government.  

After a visit to ruined Berlin, General Patton wrote his wife on July 21, 1945: "Berlin gave me the blues. We have destroyed what could have been a good race, and we are about to replace them with Mongolian savages. And all Europe will be communist. It's said that for the first week after they took it (Berlin), all women who ran were shot and those who did not were raped. I could have taken it (instead of the Soviets) had I been allowed."

His diary entry for August 18 quotes Gen. Juin: "It is indeed unfortunate, mon General, that the English and the Americans have destroyed in Europe the only sound country -- and I do not mean France. Therefore, the road is now open for the advent of Russian communism."

As I posted earlier this morning (Wed, 12/30/2015 - 04:54 | 6977422  Kirk2NCC1701)...

most of Western/Christian society has become extremely "unfit" in Darwinian terms, when confronted with a more aggresive cultural strains, with a stronger Invasive Species (Judaism, Zionism and Islam) and its more robust attributes in a Zero-Sum game of competition for space and resources.

In the cultural and religious (philosophical) competition, you/we are deservedly getting our asses kicked.  

 

So stop your effin whinging and whining (like little bitches), and your bleating (like sheep), and get "Darwin-fit"!  Or get bred out of existence.  End of story.

Well of course. The Swiss are ruled by trojan horse feminist women who would sell their nation out more quickly than men would.

Women are natural communists, that is why the us started as a Republic, with mostly men holding title to their property which allowed them to vote.

Haha, whatever!

Politicians have zero physical power. They don't enforce unjust laws on the public, violating natural law.

"Law enforcement" does.

During the American revolution, the folks weren't afraid of the King, but his henchmen, the redcoat army. Thats why you cannot house the military in 'civilian' property today.

The founders warned us of law enforcement and what it has become.

Do you think the founders would have approved of the pentagram 1033 program?

Sorry but if you are alive and wear or have worn a badge you are a traitor. Period.

I look forward to leading mass executions of law enforcement in the future.

The politicians aren't out there killing innocent people.

The mentality of an individual who desires to be a cop makes me cringe.

I can't describe, relate, remember or know of a situation that was improved by the arrival of a cop.

Family members,husbands, wives, friends. Calling a cop, to deal with a domestic situation, runs a high risk of getting a person killed. You are essentially risking your mate's or relation's life. Think long and hard about calling a cop. Just leave.

Do. Not. Invite. A. Cop. Into. Your. Life.

When I leave the house, daily, to do my business, I give no thought or fear to a criminal or gangbanger. None. Not a thought . But COPS, on the other hand....I'm always on the lookout. To avoid. To not encounter. I don't even like being in a store with a cop. These fuckers give me the creeps. And they are everywhere. It's like a Nazi plaque, anymore.
Days of the " friendly" neighborhood cop are gone. Just listen to them.... We are all " civilians", which connotes a military situation. We are their enemy. Their prey. They are a gang, and we are their fodder.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Nope, you are not wrong at all. The only cop I could say I like is an old retired one I grew up across the street from. Of course, he carried a wheel gun and probably shot it only at qualification. Different time though.

Today I loathe cops.  Not just for the physical violence, rapes, and murders but for enforcing crimes against the state. They never tire of that. Tickets and fines.  Highwaymen one and all.

And my wife is even worse than I am.

I won't tell you you are wrong.  I think you are right about cops today.  But I would add one thing - size matters.  Big city, small town.  Spent many years in suburban DC.  Cops there generally have a sharp militaristic edge, venal demeanor, seem oblivious to the fact that they are 'public servants', have lost track of their role and for whom they work.  Now I am in the sticks, small town, and it is not the same here.  Cops are part of the community.  Many are born and raised locally.  There is an inescapable accountability in small town living that is long gone in the big urban areas.  Eff up in your small town, and everyone knows and they don't forget.  Screw your customers in a small town, you won't make it.  If you're weird, if you're an asshole, your neighbors all know it.  This applies to cops as it does to every other member of the community.  Sit next to the cops at McDonalds, and you'll see that they are regular joes.  Same with the county sheriff's Dept.  It's not like the '60s or '70s, when the cop winks at your old man when he gets pulled over driving home from Weds. stag night at the country club toasted, but it is nothing like the big city.

All that said, I concur that inviting a cop into your life, big city or small town, is a really bad move, an absolute last resort.

GhostOfDiogenes*: "The Swiss are ruled by trojan horse feminist women who would sell their nation out more quickly than men would.

Women are natural communists, that is why the us started as a Republic, with mostly men holding title to their property which allowed them to vote."

Agree with the "Women are natural communists" part.  Their mate-selection process at a primal (HW) level, based on millions of years of natural selection, is based on finding a mate who will ensure a good life for her and her offspring.  That includes not only a guy with money/wealth or job security (for maintaining said lifestyle), but who will not be 'brutish'.  Thus, the 'genteel' the man is and the more affluent he is -- the more like Bill Gates he is -- the more he is appealing to them.  The rough & tough types is what they fantasize about sexually and may have had in their youth, but are not "marriage material".

Some of you may object to this, and perhaps cite your own case and your wife as being different.  Your case (the exception) does not the rule make.

I read the original, and the translation is just fine.  He, Blattmann, says "Switzerland should arm itself".  

/ Switzerland is a COUNTRY, in case you didn't know that /s

This leave open to interpretation (and projection) who is included and excluded from his use of the term "Switzerland".  Taken at face value and strictly speaking, since a country is made up of mostly of its Citizens and ruled by a Regime, it is logical that both arm themselves against the coming/expected Unrest and open Strife that large-scale cultural dislocations cause.

After the Great War people, especially the common man, thought large wars in Europe were a thing of the past. The League of Nations was supposed to keep aggression in check and disputes would be solved under the watchful eye of the international community. Smaller countries especially neglected arming and training their militaries because powers like the British Empire, France and the United States were "backing" them as part of the international community. War seemed a ludicrous idea. Less than two decades after the foundation of the League of Nations Europe was in flames. Europe is, as always, a powder keg waiting to explode. If it doesn't have a match within, it will be "provided" from the outside.

I wouldn’t name “them” just as Jews. That’s far too simple. There are plenty of players and powerful interests that are not Jewish. There may be many Jewish progressive/socialists that consistently push to weaken Western civilization knowingly or unknowingly. I’d also grant you there’s lots of progressive/socialist Jews in the corrupt fields of finance/banking, government, journalism, entertainment, education, etc. For all I know you may be right that there’s a Jewish cabal directing things, but that still doesn’t simplify to just Jews attacking Western civilization. There’s no shortage of non-Jews that would like that every bit as much if not more. These non-Jews can be found all over the world as well as within Western countries, and to be clear I’m not just referring to Muslims either. I also feel obligated to mention I’ve known Jewish people that were not idiot progressives, but in fairness I think they were all found outside of the large urban areas which I like to avoid. To paraphrase Jefferson, if things turn bad enough the tree of liberty is likely to get a lot of watering, and the tyrant side of things is not exclusively Jewish.

SpareHead has a point.

I have done an lot of research on the khazars their beginnings circa year 700 (date familiar?) and all the fake history they have created.

The core of western culture of the last few hundred years in Americas and Europe was the christian religion. The real threat to western culture is the lie the khazars created inherent in the fucked term judaeo-christian.  Most Christians have been convinced and believe that the jews(khazars) are the "chosen ones" and completely support them. Will be a grave mistake.  Just look at how the khazars planted in Palestine treat the Christians there, with disdain, as much as the muzzies.

Take Ann Barnhart, "devout" catholic, stanch anti establishment and muzzie hater and even more of a jew supporter. She refuses to accept that she has been boondoggled.

People need to wake up, read a lot of history, and sadly face the Cognitive Dissonance in combing through all the conflicting data they will find as it was written by the winners of wars.

One very common denominator in the fucked world we live in today is the khazars,

 

Note: It is my opinion that religion is for the weak.

Normalcy Bias: "When will people awaken to the fact that this is a highly organized, well funded WAR ON WESTERN CIVILIZATION?"

That's true.  But, as I pointed out in the wee hours of the morning (Wed, 12/30/2015 - 04:42 | 6977399   Kirk2NCC1701), we are up against an Invasive Species from the Other Two Monotheistic Religions:  Zio-Judaism and Islam.  Let's compare and contrast all three, and look at the Attributes they have and use in this Darwinian contest:

1. Ziocons are:  Smart, Educated, Cohesive, Homogeneous, Organized, Aligned, Resourceful, Cunning, Devious, Opportunistic, Ruthless in purpose and means, Loyal to their Own, Driven, Relentless

2. Christians are: Smart, Educated and Resourceful, but lack the other Attributes in a Darwinian ecosystem of cultures and races.  Modern Christianity and a culture of Plenty has made them soft.  The Whites/Christians who are Cunning, Devious, Opportunistic and Ruthless, are so at the Individual level (not collective level) and are so for mostly selfish reasons ("What's in it for ME?"), not for their 'Tribe'.  In fact they don't even see themselves as part of a Tribe -- by design.

3. Muslims:  Don't know them well enough to assign them the attributes I listed for Ziocons, but I do know that there are the two main branches (Sunni, Shiia), and that Sunnis have a fundamentalist and extremist version called Wahhabism.  I also know that, in spite of claims and pretenses to the contrary, Muslims are NOT loyal to their kind.  Not if they have a chance to profit or get richer.  If they were truly united in faith, culture and purpose, Israel would not exist or have been formed.  Like Christians, they too can be intimidated, conned, threatened or bribed -- in any combination, to suit the situation.

As I've asked before:  "If a mere 2% of the population is controlling the 98%, then what does that say about the virtues and weaknesses of these two groups?  Is it not unlike a rider controlling the much stronger, but dumber horse?"  Sorry, boys and girls, but Nature does not favor the "horse" over the "rider", nor whatever Book of Lore you subscribe to.  You get to play by Nature's Rules, or your genes and culture perish.

My hypothesis is simply that "The 2% are proving that Darwinism rules".  The 2% just keep re-inventing themselves (their history and heritage), to adapt and thrive.  Christians have stopped re-inventing themselves, and have become ideological Statists ("The Bible says... Jesus said...").   Like an old rock band that's been playing their oldy, moldy songs for too long, if Christianity cannot come up with some new Material after 2000 years, they are deservedly heading for the junkyard of Darwinism.

Moral:  Get Darwin-fit (individually and collectively), or get hitched to a plough.  Or be treated like the Sheeple that you are (or have become).  I am tired of the bleating of sheeple on ZH about "those damn Jews/Ziocons".  You have 3 choices, the way I see it: You either beat them, join them or get eaten.  Bleating is NOT a viable option.

I agree with you almost completely. One of the points that you make and others (Diogenes) seem to miss is that the Islamists are also an issue.

Although fueled by different motivations, they've effectively formed an unholy alliance with the Ziocons against Western Societies.

If I recall rightly, the Swiss are given rifles and ammunition by their government, which they keep locked up at home, in case of need. They are already armed, and many of them take their responsibilities in that regard seriously, attending shooting ranges and practicing with those weapons. Anyone trying to start problems in Switzerland will be keeping that in mind. The Swiss might not wait for Gub'mint approval to whack keffiyah-clad troublemakers.

Now, contrast that with a government that has since 1934 sought to gradually, incrementally disarm its citizens, after the false flag operation called the Business Plot, which was supposed to be a coup against FDR. It had not a chance of success, but provided the impetus for the National Firearms Act of 1934 and all such legislative actions following it regarding so-called 'gun control'.

They changed that a little some time ago. The state purchased ammo is now kept in local arsenals, but the young men (militia/reservists) still keep their issued rifle at home. They can however have their own ammo at home. Seems pretty pointless to me but I’m sure the gun grabbers must have thought it made sense. Also, as I recall the Swiss are big on tourism but not so much on immigration. I don’t know if that’s changed much. It’s a beautiful country and I hope to visit again someday.

Yes, "unforeseen":

"In 2012 UN migration chief Peter Sutherland urged the EU to "do its best to undermine" the "homogeneity" of its member states.

How many effin times to I have to tell you A.D.D. lot...

"WHEN A SOCIETY LOSES ITS COHESION AND STRUCTURE, BY DEGRADING, CORRUPTING AND HIJACKING THEIR VALUES, THE FAMILY, THE WORKPLACE AND THE COMMUNITY, THEN ALL VIABLE FORMS OR RESISTANCE TO THE INVASIVE RULING ELITE IS ELIMINATED".

All these things are happening to us, as the Invasive Species of Radical Judaism (via Revisionist Zionims) and Radical Islam (via Wahhabism) are infiltrating and decimating our European/Western/Christian society and civilization.  Degenerate Christians (via Liberals, Feminists, GBLT and Financial Sharks) are Aiding & Abeting this process with eager delight and short-term benefit to themselves.  When they've served their purpose, they will be eliminated by the new Conquerors, as all Useful Fools are eventually eliminated.  We are thus faced with 3 enemies:  2 from outside, 1 from within.

This is DARWINISM 101, pure and simple.  

Note that (a) Nature doesn't care, except that is enforces its rules, and (b) 'Jesus' doesn't care, no matter what claptrap you were brainwashed since childhood. The hippie/communist Jesus you know and who was promoted from a traveling Rabbi/Teacher to Godhood, was invented by the Roman Elite -- to benefit the Roman Elite. If you persist in a faith that hasn't evolved or changed in 2000 years, then perhaps your version needs to, lest you perish like the mighty dinosaurs who could not adapt to the new world.  Adapt & re-invent yourselves and your 'faith' (where Religion = an Organized Worldview), the way the radical Zionists re-invented themselves, or perish.

Wed, 12/30/2015 - 15:04 | 6979057 Kirk2NCC1701
Kirk2NCC1701's picture

p.s. History and Human Nature teaches us that a society and its multi-generational vision and values can endure only, if codified into a ritual form -- as exemplified by Organized Religion.  The Rabbis have demonstrated that for the last 3000 years.  As have the religious leaders of Wahhabism in the last 100 years. 

If we are to create a similar system, that is based on European traditions and values, then Christianity needs to undergo a similar transformation – into a kind of Neo-Christian or Enduring Christianity, that incorporates Darwinian RECIPROCITY in its dealings with non-Christians. 

Personally I do not need the props or pre-formatted and packaged worldviews from the clerical class, in order to give my life meaning and purpose, or to live by a universal code.  But clearly few people have outgrown the sheeple stage of needing a Magical Big Daddy to give them a worldview, give them orders or to hold their hand for reassurance.  For pragmatic reaosn, I will therefore accept that having a kind of Neo-Christian set of schools (equivalent to the Wahhabi Madras or Jewish Kibbutz community) is probably the way to go, where children are raised in an integrated environment (of academic, athletic and personal excellence), that is separate from the outside world.  They also need to have the same kind of unbreakable cohesion and loyalty that the Jews have among themselves.  The Pioneering DIY psyche is gone, as it has outlived its geographic and demographic purpose (isolated in a difficult environment, where DIY was key to survival).  I'm not suggesting the elimination of Individuality or Initative -- on the contrary -- but the cult of physical and mental "Insularity from own kind" is over, or needs to be.  The "What's in it for me" now needs to be: "What's in it for me, and what's in it for my People?"  It's what the Ruling 2% does.


pps. As many STDs are on the verge of becoming untreatable with antibiotics, our sexual codes of promiscuity need to be reeled in, for purely practical reasons of survival.  No matter what the corrupt/degenerate MSM promote, “Serial Monogamy” (sleeping around) not longer works.  It matters not if you have 1 wife or 10, the point is, you need to keep sexual activity strictly within that circle.  No exceptions can be tolerated for either gender (yes, I said “gender” not “sex”, you semi-literate clodhoppers), unless you want to risk propagating said STDs or unwanted pregnancies.

In my opinion, the influence of Christianity needs to be lessened to near irrelevancy in the West. Europe and her people must return to their native roots; Paganism.

Understanding our relationship with nature and our place in it is what will save us. Nationalism and respect for nature will make the West strong again.

Sutherland's Faustian Pact | The Irish Savant | 25 June 2012

I've often wondered about the meteoric rise of Peter Sutherland. Now don't get me wrong. He is an impressive guy. But really, his rise doesn't make sense to me. Well, unless of course you factor in some very powerful assistance from the kind of people we talk about here. The shadowy figures behind the curtain. 

Suds, as he's known, began as a barrister in Dublin, where he stood for, and failed to achieve, elective office.  Nonetheless he was appointed Attorney General in Garret FitzGerald's first government. From there he was rapidly appointed (a political appointment) to the EU Commission. It was when he left that post that things really started to go stratospheric. In short order he became Chairman of BP, of one of the world's largest companies and Chairman of Goldman Sachs International. Now, for a guy who never worked a day in his life in a normal job, that's some going, isn't it? And he's gone from strength to strength from even those lofty posts. He's on the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group and Chairman of the Trilateral Commission.

All I can say is, he must have sold his soul in a way that would make Mephistopheles whoop with glee.  He made some Faustian Pact along the way.

We're told that he's done wonderful things for Ireland, including paying for the Sutherland School of Law building at UCD (with his name plastered all over it). He wasn't much help at all though when he was needed most, on that terrible night in September 2008. Future historians will mark it as the day an incompetent government, flailing around for a solution to the banking crisis, dumped all the banks' debt on the Irish taxpayer, rather than allowing the unsecured bond-holders take the hit. Suds got quickly involved. He sternly warned the credulous oafs in the Government that applying a haircut to the bondholders would forever consign Ireland to the status of financial pariah. “It simply is not an option to choose” he intoned...

Meanwhile, with his multiple passports and tax exile status, the multi-millionaire (billionaire?) continues to soak the Irish taxpayer in the form of his generous index-linked AG pension.

Now as many of you have noted, he's at it again. In his latest gig as the UN's special representative for migration he insists that the EU should "do its best to undermine" the "homogeneity" of its member states . Er, Suds, it's already doing that my boy. To the best of its ability.  Been doing it for decades in fact.  Mass immigration, we learn from Suds, presents a "crucial dynamic for economic growth, however difficult it may be to explain this to the citizens of those states."  Amazing.  So engulfing Europe with untold millions of illiterate Africans and mad-eyed Muslims is essential to our prosperity.  Who could have imagined?  

What a whore.  What a fat, guzzling, grasping unprincipled whore.

It is always darkest before the dawn and it's nearing pitch black.

You either have faith in whatever spirit force guides the world or you do not.   When you look around the world in which we live you see if you are objective more good comming from people than bad given the nature of free will.

I have to remind myself everyday that this means even though at times it appears like nothing is going right and no one cares that the exact oppossite is true.  Humans have struggled and will continue to struggle with good versus evil but evil does not reside in one set of people to the exclusion of others.

We all have a choice to make, good or evil, darkness or light.

Even those who have chosen darkness at the moment are not all irrevocably irredeemable.

Our only hope as a species is that we can help others to chose the light.  I believe they want to I have to believe that to get up everyday.

I believe that it's vital to our existence that we all start collectively praying, meditating, focusing our will on helping others to chose the light.  I'm not making any pronouncements on religion or God just saying we are a concious being and our thoughts shape our actions.

Not everyone will make the right choices but everyone doesn't have to just enough.

A better world won't make itself we have to make it so.

"...we are a concious being and our thoughts shape our actions."

Ain't that the truth! Whatever a "thought" is amounts to a whole lot more than bioelectric chemical interaction. Whoever heard of anybody isolating a single "thought" on a slide for examination under a microscope?

I wonder what the burgeoning wave of DNA hackers in the San Francisco area will dream up in the next 36 months?

What a nutbag. Public discourse is dangerously aggressive?

You mean the Swiss are voting on fractional reserve banking.

Leadership in the one European country that is strictly limiting migration, regulating whatever muslims they do have and has a heavily armed citizenry is having a public freak-out... the rest of EU is sleep-walking over the cliff.

My money's on the Swiss.

+1 most eastern european EU countries aren't accepting them. meanwhile, Switzerland isn't part of the EU, nor NATO, it's not even a full member of the UN

it is, though, part of the Schengen Area (the treaty about not-manning-the-internal-borders that makes the British press so rabid, at times)

Just a small correction, Switzerland has been a full member of the UN since 2002. But yes, a latecomer for sure.

He's not wrong to say that Switzerland should arm itself like everyone else. It's smack right in the middle of Europe, yet not a part of the EU, in the maelstrom of crap currently happening there, thanks to the ME/Ukraine refugee crisis created by the neocons over the past decade.

If the Swiss referendum to ban fractional reserve banking by the Vollgeld Initiative goes ahead and becomes successful, you can bet that all manner of attacks will ensue against Switzerland, directly and indirectly. The msm will start to demonize whoever is in government and terrorist rebels trained by Langley will pop up before you can say, "Sound money" to bomb those pretty Swiss towns. It doesn't take a genius to see that the zionazi neocons are in total control of the MIC and MSM right now.

note, though, that the "Vollgeld Initiative" isn't just a simple ban on fractional reserve banking

I'm still studying it, but to me it looks like it takes lots of credit creation power from the banks... and gives it to the national bank

if it passes and is implemented the way I understand it, we'll have Tyler sniggering about... moar central planning

perhaps even with side remarks of "soviet style"

meanwhile, the very fact that it would indeed diminuish the bank's power of credit creation is indeed a reason to hear a lot of smear from them

And when you analyze it down to the origin/source,. it's all because a group of dangerously deluded madmen decided that they were exceptional, and need to rule the world, at the price of creating chaos and destruction on the rest of humanity....and that many did not have the balls to resist. Second coming of the Nazis.

"While in US the government wants to take your guns away so Muslims can kill you without facing any recistance."

Its the cops who push the politicians to take away our rights/guns.

And the politicians give the cops bearcats and automatic weapons.

Sorry but my enemy is not some seedy lying degenerate scumbag political whore in deecee.

My enemies are in the open, and lobby daily for their benefit.

 The Enemy is anyone trying to impose a will over you.  If it’s a local cop is trying to impose Harry Reid’s or Paul Ryan’s will over you, then the enemy is that local cop.

I think you will find that the basis of Swiss prosperity was sold down the drain by  a certain finance minister who signed FATCA and the OECD nonsense, because she felt like it.  It is down the drain for Switzerland from now on one way or anther.  Unless the tell the US and the OECD to fuck off that is.

Who is going to "come" for the gun owners of the us?

Cowardly cops who cannot get out of their car because they are obese/weak women?

SWAT teams that only work in groups that can easily be taken out by a few well placed rounds?

Just who is going to round us gun owning 'mericans?

The jews?

Bahahahahahaha!

Well documented that the Obummer admins have worked with Mexico and Central American countries to empty their hardest criminals from prisons, put them on fedex planes and other planes and dump with cash and credit cards in small towns all over America. And the wait for the orders from their komizars.
