Looks like Canada's also going to need a wall to keep all these fleeing leftists out! Maybe there's some kind of spray that can be used in the interim as a deterrent.

I dunno that Canada has a lot to worry about.  Lots of these Leftists probably have a pretty strong affinity for their parent's basement I would suspect.

Trump would consider halting U.S. oil purchases from Saudis: NYT

Oh ya!  Here's what I'd like Trump to say to the House of Saud:

Quote
Listen up you slimy camel fuckers:  I don't give a fuck about your Wahhabi 'culture.'  Play by my rules or the 'House of Saud' is a shit-stain in the underwear of history.

You don't get to do capital punishment from here forward, and certainly not behead people for 'witchcraft'.  All burkas will be burnt by the end of the week, and I want to see 80% of your women holding drivers licenses and driving their own cars within a month.

Iran will have nukes before you guys.

We'll be buying oil from you for $20/bbr (equiv once we abandon the USD and your treasuries are worthless.)  Tankers are on the way.  Make sure they are filled pronto.

I'll be doing a tour of Saudi Arabia in a month to check up on things.  Make sure you have a good supply delicious pulled pork sandwiches ready.

The reason Trump is so successful is with each future President they have to step up the rhetoric just enough to con the people into thinking something might change. Obama was going to be the first black President and things where finally going to change,not only do he achieve nothing every thing he did had enough backdoor issues to make it worse off for people than before.
...

I fully expected to come to that conclusion when I buckled down and start looking into things after super Tuesday.  IMO, observations do not fit that narrative mainly due to the breadth and depth of the resistance to Trump.

My opinion is that this is about Globalism vs. Nationalism, and there seems to be a fair bit of circumstantial evidence that Trump is indeed the Nationalist that he claims to be.  I certainly do not rule out the possibility that he is doing a con-job on me, but I see two strikes against this.  1) As I mentioned above, the antagonism to the guy from across the political and social spectra is palpable.  2) I am in a fairly small and insignificant demographic who is very paranoid about 'the new world order' and has researched it significantly so there is no need cater to my class.

Sorry to keep coming around to Trump, but it is relevant to the world at large just on the basis of the U.S. remaining the primary and most aggressive power in the world at this point.  And if there really is a NWO, their success and operations necessarily will touch the globe by definition.  Of course some people agree but think that the rest of the world will be better off for the erection of such a system and degradation of the US in the process of forming it.  I strongly disagree that this would be the likely outcome.

4405  Other / Politics & Society / Re: KGB Bezmenov 1985 - Four Steps to Subversion of a Nation on: March 26, 2016, 10:32:23 PM

Lots of people don't care about TRUMP or threads about the US election. I believe the subject matter in the video was beyond TRUMP and more visibility was needed on its own. Smart is smart and there is no taboo in knowing yourself or your foe.

Is optimism back with TRUMP?

When I ran across this clip of Bezmenov some months ago I had just got done recognizing that the neo-environmentalist were in significant danger once they had done the bidding of those who empower them.  Not necessarily in physical danger...though that is not outside the realm of possibility.  Bezmenov's statements about the fate of the indigenous 'communists' once the Soviet's took over was strikingly similar to what I had hypothesized might be that of those who had genuine care for the environment.

So, yes, what Bezmenov (and Alinsky and Machiavelli and Marx and Kissinger and Brzezinski, etc, etc) have to say about politics and power extend well beyond the here and now of the US and Trump.  OTOH, I would say that the Trump phenomenon genuinely is one of the most interesting and meaningful political events of the last few decades.  Probably even on the world stage.  I would say since the fall of the Soviet Union.

To answer your last question, Trump has definitely stirred in me a vestigial bit of optimism which I had not expected when I finally dove into the subject of trying to figure things out.  Also a not insignificant dose of trepidation.  As always though, I was strongly of the opinion that we (and the rest of the world) are on the fast train to something awful with the establishment-approved candidates (and even with Sanders who is weak and stupid) so I'm happy to take a chance on Trump.

I'm more than ready to see Trump align with some people I find more to my liking, but am willing to give him a pass until he stomps the rest of the Repubicans into the dirt.  Carson dealing with the education system is to my liking at least.  And, though it probably was not the goal of the article, I find it hopeful that the media noted that the names Trump named vis-a-vis foreign policy were relative unknowns and 'were not inside either of the two mainstream establishment camps.'

Trump named a few more today.  I did a bit of looking into Bert Mizusawa, and from the first thing I found, he seems to my liking so far.  This offsets somewhat the discouragement I feel in Trump's attitude toward Snowden.

1985 interview with KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov. Enlightening excerpt.

I was going to post this exact vid in my response to the discussion of Trump/Alinsky on the other thread.

Quote
“A word about my personal philosophy. It is anchored in optimism. It must be, for optimism brings with it hope, a future with a purpose, and therefore, a will to fight for a better world. Without this optimism, there is no reason to carry on. ..."

  -- Alinsky - Rules for Radicals  - pg 21

That makes me think back to the 'demoralization' that I feel at having to choose between 'Obama/Romney', 'Obama/McCain', 'Obama/Hillary', 'Bush/Kerry', etc, etc all the way back about as far as I can remember.  When some possibly hopeful candidate is in the running, they are squashed like a bug by the media+establishment before it matters.  This 'demoralization' has caused me not to even bother to vote at all over the last number of years.  I see it as a theme in the alternate media, and it is one that resonates.  I would guess that this is akin to what Bezmenov is alluding to.

I've always considered myself fairly left-wing.  To this day I've no love lost for the Republicans although in a practical sense they are more useful to me politically in my current situation insofar as they are less inclined to empower some of the scams that hit me the hardest.  Specifically, the eco-fascism which I feel as a person who owns property and a person who would rather do shit than sit on my ass and wait for a welfare check.

I've always been 'anti-American' to some extent as a hold-over to my youth when the memories of Vietnam were fresh in the public consciousness.  That sentiment continues to be animated by things such as our regime-change campaigns which turn otherwise relatively function nations into failed states and our drone strikes which end up killing 90% innocent civilians.  All of a sudden (e.g., 1/2 an hour before I write this) I wonder if that is not a huge part of the actual goal.  That is, to create and maintain a sense of 'demoralization' within the United States itself!

Holyfuckinshit!  I'll bet that when 'the tapes' of Trump are released (probably after his death...which could be near at hand...) we'll find that his most treasured and productive books will in fact be Saul Alinsky's pamphlet 'Rules for Radicals.'

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fyu2iaqrC_c

Conversely, when I get around to actually reading Machiavelli's work, I'm fully expecting to see a nearly exact match for 'the Left' of 2016.

To my American brothers and sisters who have heard the term 'color revolution' but never really quite understood what it was, stick around because we'll likely see it employed right here in the good old USofA.  Or at least as significant an attempt at doing so as the Globalist can muster.  We probably won't have to wait much longer, and if one keeps their eyes open, one can see the little fingers of flame and some smoke already.

You certainly couldn't say that about Jimmy... (or most/all of them)

It's true that Dore seems to hold on to principle a little longer than the rest.  He also does not seem quite as petrified about holding non-consensus opinion as most of the others.

I have to say that Dore gives that right-winger dude a run for his money at being the most un-funny comedian ever.  Um...Dennis Miller.

OTOH, it is possible that TYT could be resigned to Hillary and turn from being at least thoughtfully critical on real problems to being full on cheerleaders.  Just like that did with Obamacare.  These people are as phony as they come.  And I used to pay some attention to them a number of years ago.  Silly me.

I am going to guess here that TYT translates to "the young turks," paid propaganda operatives.

Anything else to be said?

Do you really think independent media pushes more "paid propaganda" than establishment media?

Not sure about TYT.  It is possible to be a lap-dog for the establishment just because one is brainwashed.  Probably some combination of this applies here.

You think TYT is pro-establishment?  Have you seen TYT?!?  Are you mentally handicapped?

I was watching TYT and they said that Bernie has turned down multiple invitation to be interviewed by them.  It seems like he would jump at the chance to go on a friendly online news program that has lots of viewers.  Why won't he do it?  He could spread his message to the younger folks.

Looks like TYT just got their interview with Bernie...

I see a few small clips being uploaded... Waiting for the full interview myself

They had to wait until it was a certainty that he would play his choke artist roll and not fuck up and actually win over Hillary.  Now it's safe.  Maybe.  There is some danger that TYT could suck his dick so hard that it could actually detach from the rest of his body.

This is interesting. Brussels ran an ad last January mocking the notion of a terrorist attack there. I guess they can be excused, what with the headquarters of NATO and the European Union housed there. And then the attack takes place literally next door to those luminaries...

Brussels Ran Ad In January Mocking Notion Of Terror Attack

Published on Mar 23, 2016
After Brussels was linked to terror plots in November, the international media portrayed the city as a war zone. That’s because several of the Paris ISIS terrorists were from Brussels. They slaughtered 130 people in neighboring France. In January visit.brussels decided to change that perception. The group created #CallBrussels —- We gave people in Brussels the opportunity to tell how life really is in the city. From 7 January to 11 January, 12688 phone calls were made from 154 countries. The campaign was exported to the entire world: from neighbouring countries to The United States, Japan, Brazil and even Australia. 74% were international phone calls.

The action was also widely followed on social media. The hashtag #CallBrussels was used all over the world and became the most popular hashtag in Belgium at its launch. Over 9,317,000 people have seen the hashtag. --- The group ran this ad in January. Tonight the Brussels Group’s website got some feedback on their ad campaign... https://call.brussels/

"The number you have reached has been disconnected or is no longer in service due to bomb damage.  Your call has been monitored, recorded and logged by the one-world police force operating under the name 'Strong Cities Network.'"

I'll also add that I was shocked and delighted to see Trump be interested in diminishing NATO.  I consider this structure to be outdated and one of the most palpable threats of triggering a hot WW-III.

Correct.

Do we have a nuclear threat from Russia?

Can and should we be working with Russia against common foes?

If neither side were on an expansionist trajectory, working together on projects where it made sense would probably happen without effort.  I'm not holding my breath for a situation where we are all holding hands and singing kumbaya (and don't even wish to see it), but I do hope for a situation where there is a 'competition of ideas' where larger nations win over smaller nations by being decent to them and making 'good deals' rather than by sending in mercenary armies to shatter them and turn them into hell-holes.

My problem with NATO, and especially as it absorbs an increasing number of unstable countries, is that you get degenerate freaks like Turkey invading other nations when they see some oil they can seize then run back to NATO mommy if/when they get resistance.  If we actually wished to get rid of ISIS, WE should be bombing Turkey since that's where most of ISIS is living at the moment.  Certainly we should not be protecting ISIS from attack with our nuclear arsenal and making a very credible threat to bring on WW-III in doing so.

I want to thank you for continually playing the game that the official story is truth or near truth. If you didn't, and if nobody did, I wouldn't be prompted to continually show people the stupidity of the official story theory.

Wow!  That is the most rational explanation I've ever heard for Spendy's otherwise inexplicable blind-spot about 9/11 and total rejection of science.  It's really not characteristic of his identity in other areas.  I'm embarrassed not to have thought it up on my own.


Lol, I can't be a rejector of science, because I have repeatedly used basic physics math to refute poorly thought out "theories of 911."

Does not mean you are not welcome to come up with a well reasoned theory.  Be my guest.  But if you would do it based on "nano thermite" or "puddles of melted steel" or one in a million wacho claiming it wasn't a jet that hit the towers, when hundreds of thousands were watching the second jet hit the towers, expect your theory to be destroyed.

Then there's the "no airliners" lunatics.  Where did the people and the planes go?

And best of all, there's the "Evil Jews did it" bug eyed fanatic defenders of Islam.

One is tempted to write off your 9/11 fail as being attributable to some sort of Zionist leanings or something, especially since you (alone) seem to keep coming back again and again to the 'Jewish' aspect of it, but you don't seem to be trying to torpedo the Trump campaign like most Zionists.  So that doesn't really fit.  

Again, BADecker seems to have the most plausible hypothesis about your behavior.  That is, you just want people pointing out the multitude of super obvious proof positives that the 'official conspiracy theory' promulgated by the establishment is a sham.

Where's Trump stand on the regulation of US PMC's ?

Oh fuck me - you couldn't make this shit up

"Mr Schmitz served as inspector general at the Department of Defence during the early years of George W Bush's administration. He also worked for Blackwater"

As someone who is hopeful about Trump, I'm not terribly excited about this either.

OTOH, it could be read as an indication that Trump is serious about dealing with some of the upcoming problems that will almost certainly be put up.  I've noticed that he takes every opportunity to enlist the support of the military and the police.  A person with Schmitz experience will have a lot of understanding and connections into the private mercenary elements that the U.S. establishment uses to project force.  It's only a matter of time before this force projection is directed inwardly.  To me, it's only a matter of whether these forces will be controlled by Globalists or by a Nationalist.  The latter is the lesser of two evils as I see things.

My sober assessment of things is that we are in so much trouble and so deep in the hole at this point that we may never get out, and if we do manage the feat, it won't be pretty.

In a slightly more hopeful scenario, I do have some hope that Trump is serious about addressing the crony nature of our quasi-capitalist political structure.  I don't think he would talk about it as much as he does unless he were serious.  Sure, he played inside that system and played well, but it is possible stand up from the table and leave.  (A situation which I have some experience with.)  This makes his threats to change the game somewhat credible to me.  Back to Schmitz (and the various other apparent scumbags Trump has fingered), it is possible that he knows that he needs people who 'know where the bodies are buried' in fields beyond his expertise in order to have a chance at making some corrections.

Trump remains a 'hail Mary' play to me, but still much better odds than any other candidate I've seen in probably forever.  Certainly anyone who has made it to the level Trump has achieved today.  I'm still with Webb on his statement that a Trump presidency could go 'either very good or very bad.' ...with the shared caveat that a Hillary one would go very bad.

I'm more than ready to see Trump align with some people I find more to my liking, but am willing to give him a pass until he stomps the rest of the Repubicans into the dirt.  Carson dealing with the education system is to my liking at least.  And, though it probably was not the goal of the article, I find it hopeful that the media noted that the names Trump named vis-a-vis foreign policy were relative unknowns and 'were not inside either of the two mainstream establishment camps.'
