Military full of gangs

....appropriately enough reflecting the multicultural stateside crime plague.

The FBI Announces Gangs Have Infiltrated Every Branch Of The Military

I just love us. We amaze me! Every day, there's new proof that ameriKa is morally qualified to force "democracy" on Afghanistan, purge Iraq of terr'ists, rig regime change in Ukraine, repeatedly body-slam Swiss and Panamanian banks, mow down ancient cultures and communities, and shred our own Constitution anew every hour on the hour.

WE ARE WONDERFUL. We are exemplary. We are the exceptional nation. Our relationship with Israel is "SPECIAL"! If we bring Latin American and Somali Bantu gangs wherever we go, people just have to understand that some cultures are different than others -- it doesn't mean that one's better than another. Life is cheap among ethnic crime cults, but the same goes for wherever Our Boys appear to fight for our National Interests, right? Nobody'll notice -- it'll blend right in.

Oh -- wait -- we're just supposed to consider the above headline a footnote to domestic problems. Scratch this whole colyum from the record.

/\/.\/\/.

The ripest fedgov hypocrisy of all?

Considering that the USG has done everything it could to gain enemies abroad over matters of banking, money laundering, "terror" et al.?

Presenting The #1 Financial Haven For Dictators & Criminals

We keep getting riper info and bigger shocks. Every day the sheer, gargantuan absurdity of it seems to double. Why doesn't it ever get funner?

Nader steps out against Oh Bummer

One of the refreshing earmarks of our age -- perhaps the most refreshing -- is how some categories and factions of people are becoming less distinct. Ralph Nader sure doesn't march to anybody else's drummer. His latest headline:


http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=163304
Obama the ’executioner’
http://www.politico.com/story/2014/02/ralph-nader-book-103908.html


When he was new during my teen years, all one knew was he wanted to help consumers and oldsters defend themselves from trouble specifically involving those contingents. Since then his political orientation has enjoyably evaded pegging. I'd thought of him as in essence conservative and enjoyed hearing him as guest on Chuck Harder's much lamented For The People radio show -- but others spat at these impressions, even my fiscal- and labor-conservative father.


Whatever respect I had for Nader wasn't helped by his appearance in the One Percent documentary that fascinates me. Made by a young New Yorker trying to pierce the filthy-rich matrix in which he's spent his entire life, the only solutions it envisions are leftish (surprise surprise). But here's Nader in a perfectly sensible mode, daring to do as a leftish independent what almost nobody of any orientation is willing to -- condemn Obama outright as a usurping tyrant:


Nader writes in “Unstoppable” that Obama “has extended the Bush doctrine by declaring his unilateral right, as secret prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner, to destroy anybody, anywhere in the world, including American citizens, suspected to be engaged in alleged terrorist activities, all this vaguely and loosely defined as anti-U.S. security.”


But wait -- get this! I've been insisting to people that Obama is merely another Bush, as Bush was just another Clinton.... and Ralph just comes out with it, fingering Slick Willy as the real impetus of it all:


He continues, “Inspired by the military actions of the Clinton administration, the Obama and Bush teams made a seamless transition into a militarized foreign policy, extending even further the illegal reach of wars of choice, invasions, incursions, and drone attacks, carried out irrespective of national sovereignties.”
The consumer crusader’s new book also makes the case for a bipartisan effort to “dismantle the corporate state.”


"Dismantle the corporate state" -- that sounds remarkably close to the "inflammatory anti-government rhetoric" that Washington takes as extreme fighting words these days, even if it is a simple updating of the "alter or abolish" clause of the Declaration of Independence!


Let's hope he keeps it up and doesn't apologize. And that none of his supporters in any camp abandon him for his stark honesty about today's reigning demigod.

The "elites" are acting like they've just taken a goofy pill

Which they probably have, knowing how many enthusiastic cokeheads there are among them. But to their "normal" behavior, i.e. drunk, drugged and delusional, other strange traits are accruing:

5 Signs America’s Super-Rich Are Going Off the Deep End: 
Inequality seems to have made the wealthy very upset...for themselves.

We hear all the time from prophecy-maniacs about signs of end times. If this isn't the sign of an impending overturn of some kind, I'll eat my hat.

Maybe this cataclysm will be a good one -- we can dream, in spite of all the evidence the goons are permanently in power. A great prophet who can't be named here (too semitically incorrect) has been through everything -- jailed repeatedly for his First Amendment work, his home and offices burned to the ground in an act of terror stonewalled by the authorities, thrown out of this country for not resembling Al Sharpton enough.... but he's always been fond of saying that evil always contains the seeds of its own destruction. With today's level of evil, those seeds must be avocado size by now!

Where were you this evening, by the way? A small but hardy representation of greater Greenville had a fine meeting at Ryan's. Don't forget our sister organization's Burning of Columbia festival today (Saturday Feb. 22). See southernaction.blogspot.com for more.

So much for the drug war

 ...and all others Washington's bringing us.

BrasscheckTV sends anyone interested a major video link each day free of charge, ranging in length from a few minutes to a few hours. Its summary of this link is, like most of theirs, unbeatable:

Yes, the US government is a major participant in the global heroin trade that originates in Afghanistan.
This is not a conspiracy theory.
You can see it with your own eyes.

But be warned. You've seen many other videos and documents nailing the U.S. government as evil incarnate, but this one gets the job done more searingly and sordidly than most!

Uncle Sam's heroin business

http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/25969.html

Washington tells us they're engaged in a drug war. They've been telling us so for most of my 64 years on earth. This is true in a sense, but it takes the form of killing, maiming, jailing, disenfranchising, and otherwise tyrannizing anybody that gets in the way of our illustrious politicians' drug profits -- and cocaine habits. It takes the form of, for instance, ordering Afghanistan to quit growing opium poppies and then bludgeoning that country and its economy such that it has to return to that dirty business..... which is what Washington appears to have wanted it to do the whole time anyway.

Washington is the new Roman Empire, the new Dracula's Transylvania, and the new USSR rolled into one. Don't laugh -- it's true. Vlad Țepeș, the original ruler on which Count Dracula is based, impaled numerous hapless citizens, leaving them to die a slow, crucifixion-like death. But we in modern ameriKa outdo him: "Dracul's" victims died within hours or days. We literally torture whole countries and regions for decades. The Gulf War, vulgarly euphemized "Operation Desert Storm", was 23 years ago, plus change -- and we're again/still brutalizing Iraq! What for, please?

And where is Iraq on a map of Asia?

Why did we get involved in World War I? Maybe we shouldn't bomb anybody else until at least 10% of the population can answer these questions and sum up whatever good we've done in these engagements.

When was the last time Washington won a war? Careful -- WW2 merely made the world safe for communism, as supposed "isolationists" tried to warn for many months beforehand.

Pop group ABBA makes bizarre (or Bizarro) tax news

Tax laws make people jump through crazy, exhausting, extremely annoying hoops in this country and probably all worldwide. Sweden is pointed to as a country where socialism actually works, but now one's not so sure:

http://www.newser.com/story/182422/abba-crazy-costumes-were-a-tax-dodge.html?utm_source=part&utm_medium=united&utm_campaign=rss_entertainment
ABBA: Crazy Costumes Were a Tax Dodge

Thus where for some wealthy people the dodge may be raising crops on a particular piece of ground to lower the taxes on it, giving away a ton of money to charities in order to save a fraction of it on April 15 or whatever, here tax madness impacted popular culture, making it more decadent. ABBA was one of the groups whose music was the most lovely, musical and wholesome out there, but they felt compelled to save money by making sartorial fools of themselves when performing!

I say wholesome, but being part of the satanic pop music industry there are questions. What's this song The Piper all about?

http://patterico.com/2009/09/26/president-obama-speaks-to-americans/

Obviously it could in fact be an accusing allegory on depraved politicians like Obama, but who knows. Like much of the subtle meaning in pop, it doesn't want to commit itself.

Europeans betrayed by both EU and their own "good" politicians

Today's news link is remarkable, sort of like when a doctor tests a patient and finds he's got cancer running all through is body.

Both are remarkable, but neither in any positive or exciting sense of the word.

It would be remarkable for doctors to tell a patient she has cancer without daring to mention the name of the disease. And what politicians do today is give people economic and social cancer, while viciously stamping out among them the freedom to complain, or even call the situation what it is!

They do this in tandem with the news and entertainment media. In all countries the media determine policy and and rigidly enforce it by making some people persons, others nonpersons, and some public enemy number one. The politicians are beholden to them in this fashion and follow right along with it -- some willingly and knowingly, most stupidly and gutlessly.

They treat issues in a similar fashion. News readers spout the subjects and spin which will become fashionable according to their bosses' freakish politically-correct agenda. Entertainment and music stars parrot and model this bullcrap, and the dumb sheeple just accept it whole hog, even when it;'s obvious, insane bullcrap.

Notice in the article below that a top-ranking supra-national bureaucrat and a dissenting local politician are discussing a crucial, life-or-death issue affecting every American and European -- but without naming the real problems that are the problem!

Migration IS harmful but we will never halt it, pledges Euro chief

You know what the real issues are. Do you dare to admit them to yourself, your friends, family or co-workers?

Do you, hmmm?
