We’re supposed to believe the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise. I don’t see how anyone who has read the evidence can still believe that. Forget radar, forget the intercepted dispatches, forget the political mood that was common knowledge an attack was coming, a man in a guard tower with a set of binoculars could have gone a long way.
Recent historical releases from the 1880’s or so detail the work they were doing with aerial reconnaissance on the coast with hot air balloons. Something like 80 miles with the height and good optics. Flash forward 60 years and the incredible technological advancements of that era, and we’re supposed to believe we were caught unawares?
During the campaign of 1940 while FDR was promising to keep us out of the war, he was secretly ordering bombers and tanks. He’s about the most vile bastard in American history. For the life of me I can’t figure out why Americans are so gullible.
YouTube has allowed me to verbalize what I inherently knew, we’ve been betrayed. Its not just me. People younger than me look at these videos from the 40s, 50s and 60s and they simply cannot believe what life was like back then. Before infrastructure was crumbling, jobs had disappeared and there was a permanent underclass living on the streets.
The greatest nation in the world didn’t just fall, it was pushed. In 150 short years we had outpaced nations that had been in existence a thousand years. We beat them economically, we beat them militarily, we beat them culturally, we beat them like a rug. How does a nation like that fall in just 60 years? In just one lifetime?
The last Secretary of War James Forrestal said to the effect, when every single decision is wrong, its not stupidity, its by design. In these old videos, even if you didn’t know that it was America’s industrial power that won the war, you can see it for yourself. The factories and the things we made only 2 generations ago is just unbelievable.
Even if the people watching these videos couldn’t tell you this, they instinctively know that a service economy doesn’t create wealth. It just shuffles it around. The wealth of a nation is increased by manufacturing goods using the raw materials of the earth. Manufacturing wasn’t moved overseas because it was too expensive here, the corporate decision was made to say to hell with America, our goal is simply to increase profits. And it wasn’t to the shareholder.
Its the same way the decision was made to quit paying dividends to shareholders decades ago. People today have no idea reputable stocks used to pay 4%, 5% or even 6% dividends. All that money is simply being pocketed now. Like when they moved production overseas and were paying pennies on the dollar for labor costs, did the cost of the product go down? No! Executive compensation simply went up!
They didn’t enrich the shareholder, they didn’t enrich America, they only enriched themselves.
The old adage was “in the end we’re all Americans”. That’s no longer true. Half the country thinks they are “global citizens”. In their world America always buys. America always flies. America supports everyone. America dies for everyone. America does it all! They truly have the vision of the anointed.
Right now the US Navy is undergoing outright insurrection against the President. Trump pardons Eddie Gallagher and the Navy decides they are going to prosecute him anyway. The Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer has now been fired, so we’ll see how it turns out. I can’t think of a more pro-military President than Donald Trump.
The Courts are in open rebellion against the President, ruling on issues they have no jurisdiction. Sanctuary cities are releasing murderers and rapists simply because they loathe Trump. Entire States are trying to eliminate their role in the Electoral College. Other States are adding to the Constitutional requirements to be President by demanding to see Trump’s tax records.
Sports figures take a knee on the field and refuse to go to the White House. Members of the US Olympic Team slander the President for no reason. If they think I’m going to forget all this they are nuts. They’re nuts anyway. I hope no American forgets. I hope every American gives it right back to them. Gives them what they have coming.
One of my favorite memories over my lifetime has been the wailing and moaning and utter helplessness of Republican states during a Democrat administration. “We can’t do anything, they’ll take away our highway money!” The Democrat President then has a clear shot instituting his blood sucking unconstitutional way. Anyone even somewhat familiar with the Constitution remembers the 9th & 10th Amendments and the great power they give the States.
You get the message that, “Well yes that applied in the old days, but that’s no longer true in new America!” And that if you didn’t buy into it you were some kind of uncouth moron. What they fail to tell you was that they didn’t go through an amendment process to remove States Rights, we went through a civil war. Lincoln ended States Rights nearly singlehandedly. The last 4 years made me rethink all this.
Democrat States have shown great leeway (with the help of Democrat packed courts) to resist Federal power. In fact they call it ‘the resistance’ States Rights aren’t dead! So as it became increasingly clear the past 4 years that Washington was entirely incapable of accomplishing anything good, it occurred to me that freedom loving Americans needed to establish a bulwark against an encroaching Federal Government by the establishment of likeminded State Legislatures.
DC is as gone as if it had fallen into a sinkhole. Captured by an enemy power. It serves no useful function. Its a shame very, very few people see this. Other than a Convention of the States or a Constitutional Convention, I see no other answer. The sad part is that in all the areas of elections, there cannot be for most people a more boring sector of politics than local House races. Regardless, that’s what it comes down to.
I’ve voted for exactly 2 Republicans in my life. Sarah Palin in ’08 and Donald Trump in ’16 (Not counting primary votes for Pat Buchanan). Some asshole Democrat is going to come to my door in the next year asking for my vote. Funny. I started out voting for Jimmy Carter. I voted for Bill Clinton the first time. I became a true independent after that.
Then Hillary leads it off with Trump voters calling them “deplorable”. Then all your news channels. Then Hollywood. Then Antifa beating up Trump people. Then they made it illegal to wear a MAGA hat. And now they think we’re going to forget all that and ever vote for a Democrat again?
Are you nuts? Satan could be wearing ice skates before I’d ever vote for a Democrat.
Remember what they called you when they show up at your door asking for your vote. Remember what Alec Baldwin, Robert DeNiro, Rob Reiner, Joy Behar, Alyssa Milano, Cher, Madonna, Barbara Streisand, SNL, MTV, Oscars, Emmy’s, CMA, called you.
I got a notice from Twitter yesterday, that the account I haven’t used for a year had been suspended. Someone had gone back to 2016 and decided a Tweet of mine violated their terms of service. All I had to do was delete the Tweet and my account would be restored. I told them to go phuck themselves and the horse they rode in on.
My Tweet had been in response to a video I’d seen. Muslims, being depraved individuals, are on many, many videos torturing cats and dogs. Part of the reason they do this is they know it sends decent people through the roof. So in comment to that particular video I wrote, “Muslims are sick puppies.”
Did Twitter get upset about the sick and twisted individuals who were torturing the dog? No. They got upset at my words. They write the terms of service in such expansive generalities that anyone at any time could be said to be in violation, if they choose to apply it. There are many instances where liberals call for actual violence against the President and others. And through some twisted logic they deem “these Tweets were not in violation of our community standards.”
[You can go on there and find Muslims kicking a puppy across a yard. Skinning a live cat. Burning a dog with lighter fluid. Tell me these people are sane.]
Banditos in Mexico wipe out a Mormon family and now all of a sudden this lawlessness matters? Twit Romney is demanding action! Which to anyone who follows this stuff knows that the 2012 Republican candidate for president and his compadre Paul Ryan are the biggest open border RINOs there are!
The hypocrisy is killing me. Famed researcher John Lott pointed out 20 years ago 13 Americans a day die at the hands of illegals in this country. Congress has never had a problem with ensuring the free flow of illegals into this country. Its helps with the drug trade and human trafficking. And in order to ensure GM, Ford and Chrysler can continue to get their cars made down there with cheaper non-union labor.
Mexico was a lawless shithole 150 years ago and still is today. Who doesn’t get this? How stupid are you? They are not ready for prime time. Put up a GD wall. They are utterly incapable of running an organized society. Build a GD wall. Why do you suppose Mexico is a shithole? Its filled with shitheads. This ain’t real tough.
“It must be admitted that the tendency of the human race toward liberty is largely thwarted, especially in France. This is greatly due to a fatal desire — learned from the teachings of antiquity — that our writers on public affairs have in common: They desire to set themselves above mankind in order to arrange, organize, and regulate it according to their fancy.”
— Frederic Bastiat
(What’s really great about these historical quotes is that it highlights how we doggedly refuse to learn from the past, and insist on reinventing the wheel every other generation or so. That sort of ignorance is to be expected when government is in charge of education.)
The confluence of ideas. Gab News had an interesting article today that I linked to. It was about the “Gatekeeper Right“. In this latest instance it is those neocon/RINO/establishment Republicans (i.e. Mitt Romney, John McCain) who wish to purge the party of those nasty populists and nationalists brought in by one Donald John Trump! The Blue Bloods are manning the walls, desperate to repel the riffraff!
They had the beginning of this movement as 2015 and The Rise of Trump, I of course being a political genius was able to set them straight. I’d say it started in 2008 with the Tea Party, which was subverted within a few years. This is the latest rebirth. In fact ’92 & ’96 saw it with the Reform Party, Constitution Party and Ross Perot and Pat Buchanan. In fact the thing I’ll never forget is the reaction Rush and Hannity had to Ron Paul in 2008. They were NOT fans. They were very suspicious of him and his “libertarian ways”!
In fact you can go back 60 years to 1959 to the start of modern constitutionalist movement. That was the year the John Birch Society was formed, and quickly marginalized by the “Gate Keepers” of William Buckley and National Review (Nothing epitomizes worthless GD RINOs quite like NR). So in effect JBS has been warning for exactly 60 years what was coming, and was studiously ignored. Its hilarious to hear this or that pundit sounding the alarm! When in fact people were doing it before they were born.
In fact a young fella on YouTube by the name of Reid Heinrichs has recently gotten up to speed. His video entitled We Are on Our Own: Why Voting is Not Going to Work came to the correct conclusion that DC is completely dysfunctional and is incapable of working for the people. This goes along with the secessionist movement in Texas, the one time Michigan Militia and other regional movements, which by design never come together in a national network. Which is where I come in.
The American Network. I see this as a consortium of trade, professionals, preppers, shooters, medical, a self-insurance group, K-12 instructors, growers and political activists all connected through an encrypted network. That’s what we need. SHTF (shit hit the fan) will come. There was an interesting little post on this very topic this morning on Gab. It was by a young man whose moniker is ‘Rob @Nullifyfedlaws’. His point was even his wife, who is completely apolitical, knows that the status quo can’t continue.
In fact I have a friend in the same category who referred to it as a ‘civil war’ coming. When the jig is up it will be like New Orleans after Katrina and the Feds thought anarchy was at the door. Their first inclination was to disarm the populace. Not to get them fed, watered and medical treatment, but to take their guns. The government sees itself as several things. One being Savior. Another is that as an organism which must survive at all costs! Even as a parasite at the expense of the host, the people.
The government when the SHTF will pickoff potential leaders and “trouble makers” immediately. Services to varying degrees will be gone. The ability to survive will depend on your network. And how much planning was done ahead of time. No one can survive an ambush. But you can avoid the ambush if you plan. The sad part is I’ve watched similar movements for decades, they are always doomed to failure because the Chief of each group (medical, preppers, shooters etc.) won’t cede any of their turf.
They can never see the larger picture, the success of the movement. They can never see beyond their own little power base. Which is a shame. Wikipedia is a success because it shows the “wisdom of the crowd”. Bringing together everyone’s expertise to create something greater than the parts. Patriots have the ability to do that, just not the will.
Mac Thornberry. The epitome of idiocy. Trump sends the boys out to kill ISIS leader one Abū Bakr al-Baghdadi. Early reports are that he is not merely dead, but really most sincerely dead. In perfect Trump fashion, it was not just a military raid, it was the best-est most well executed raid in the history of warfare! Trump also said the terrorist leader died like the cowardly dog he was. What’s wrong with that?
Enter Mac ‘Dipshit’ Thornberry. He was “uncomfortable” with the “language” Trump the Great used. Tough tookies. Thornberry wasn’t upset with the unfathomable atrocities this terrorist committed. He wasn’t upset with the deadly absurdity of U.S. policies of the past 30 years that were dumped in Trump’s lap. No. He was upset with words. With Trump calling this terrorist a scurvy dog.
Thornberry was elected to be one of the 535 best in America, and in reality he is a moron.
