    On my many walking visits to the vast Normandy battlefield in France, I kept recalling the ever so wise dictum of Prussia’s great monarch, Frederick the Great: ‘he who defends everything, defends nothing.’ On this 74th anniversary of the D-Day landings, it’s well worth recalling the old warrior-king. Adolf Hitler, a veteran of the infantry,...
  • Germany lost the war on Sept 3 1939. Everything after that was a dead man walking. That was the day the British converted Germany from a world power to a landlocked European power. That is: a regional power. From this point onwards, without the Japanese it would never have been a world war.

    Less than a year later in June/July 1940 Germans were stopped dead in the west with the battle of Britain. Any offensive in the west was now impossible for the Germans. British production of aircraft, ships and other critical technology outpaced the Germans throughout the war.

    Germans next tried going South and were stopped dead in North Africa and the Middle East. They were in a trap. East was all that was left, so they were desperate enough attack their ally Stalin. That is what Stalin was up to this point.. Germany’s ally. He supplied the German war machine against the British. From 1939 to 1941 Stalin and Russia were Hitlers bestus buddies. Never forget this all you Russia lovers!

    That the Russian managed to hold the Germans in the east was only possible due to the massive infusion of material from Britain and the United States. That the Germans were short of fuel always was down to the British and Americans. That the Russians lost 20 million was mostly down to absolute incompetence of their system and the fact that their leadership put no value on Russian lives. I mean Stalin murdered more Soviet citizens than this by some margin.

    In the end the British/American way of war in 1944/5, namely freezing German armies in place and then destroying them would have prevailed no matter the quantity of wermacht.

    Many people say the big mistake was stopping at the Elbe. British/American power was such that Vladivostok was a very doable objective and we would all be better off today had that been the case, even the Russians

    Germans next tried going South
     
    The main reason the Germans went South was because the Italians were useless as allies and kept stepping on their own "privates" in both North Africa and Greece.

    @Leander Starr

    Solzhenitsyn, in the Gulag Archipelago, makes two rather thought-provoking suggestions

    1) That if the Germans had been less obsessed with their racist ideology as applied to Slavs and more willing to work together with Slavs in an anti-Bolshevik alliance, millions of "zeks" (Soviet slave laborers) and common folks would have been more willing to fight against Stalin. Such a rebellion against Stalin at his most desperate hour would have probably resulted in his destruction. Anecdotes like Vlasov and the war record of Feldataman Helmuth von Pannwitz (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmuth_von_Pannwitz) seem to imply this view may have been correct.
    2) That an American-led invasion may have been welcomed likewise, especially by the "zeks" in their camps. (However, Stalin may have been able to propagandize and whip (literally) enough support from his soldiers to make a fight of it)

    The only reason they went south was to bail out their useless as tits on a bull ally Italy. Had Italy remained a friendly neutral like Franco's Spain, rather then an active belligerent, Germany would have been far better off.

    Actually, you got it all wrong. Putting aside the fact that you greatly overblow the importance of American and British supplies to the Russians, the fact is that, if Hitler had not invaded the U.S.S.R, Britain would be strangled and eventually run out of food and pretty much everything else. If the kriegmarine could focus on all their forces on Britain, and if Germany could turn all their industrial might to producing U-boats, they would sink each and every single American ship that tried to supply food, ammunition and everything else to Britain. Britain would capitulate. It would be Britain and not Germany that would be frozen in place. There would be literally no possibility for an American amphibious landing and saving of Britain and Europe if Germany had all the Atlantic line fortified and the entire Wehrmacht free to protect that line. America would need a military 50 X bigger and stronger than it had at it's peak to launch an amphibious assault against a fresh German army with no casualties that committed 100% of it's strength to that single purpose of holding the Atlantic line. Britain and America would have lost. Badly. Hitler's big mistake was invading Russia.

    The French, well I can politely say that they have not been able to defend the independence their country at any time since their revolution.

    The British on the other hand have a very long track record of tenacity even in the most hopeless situations which usually happen because their leadership is low IQ. The bright and innovative are considered subversive in the British army. Ordinary British soldiers have have been the match of any, that includes the Germans.

    Equipment that was better than the Germans: Submarines, air craft carriers, P51, Heavy bombers, , bren gun, jeep, 12.5mm machine gun, asdic/sonar, radar, artillery to name a few. Obviously some of the German equipment was the best, but this was not across the board.

    The big German weakness was sequential strategic and tactical miscalculation to the point where no recovery was possible. Think Stalingrad, Russia summer campaign 1942, Tunisia, the Final Solution, Battle of Kirsk, the alienation of the populations of Ukraine and others to name a few. All massive miscalculations. Errors were not only the NAZI’s, but the General Staff too.

    It was night and the cyclist was pedaling along with traffic without a light, so he was invisible in the glare of the headlights he was amidst ... until he hit my door edge-on.

    Even with the most stultifying stagnating over-controlled society in human history, with a modest fertility rate and abundant resources even then progress could not be completely wiped out.

    So perhaps, it it not communism per se that is the MAIN thing at hand? Maybe also little things, like if people breed like rodents and suck up all resources into day-to-day subsistence survival, so there is no investable surplus and the issue of capitalism vs. communist is simply irrelevant?

    “Floyd was a violent felon who died with traces of fentanyl and cocaine in his system”

    It was announced two weeks ago that he had a lethal dose. His toxicology report was finally made public and shows that he had a lethal dose of the dangerous pain killer fentanyl in his system. This caused his lungs to fill with fluid, which explains why he told arriving cops “I Can’t Breath” and did not cooperate as he was delusional and dying. The cops wrestled him to the ground and cuffed him as he died from a fentanyl overdose. Floyd would have died right there even if the cops had not shown up.

    This is why coroners wait for toxicology results before declaring the cause of death, but in this case he bowed to political pressure and announced his death was caused by the knee to the neck. This news is so big that our corporate media, which has promoted the riots, refuses to air the truth.

    @Leander Starr

    The collapse of the Soviet Union was partly as a result of Gorbachev going on a trip to China where masses of democracy protesters humiliated the Chinese leadership that were planning a USSR China rapprochement sumit, by coming to the Russian Embassy and appealing to him. Days later–after Gorby had left China– came the Tiananmen Square massacre. As he told associates, Gorbachev thought anything better that to have a Tiananmen in Red Square, so he did not crush dissent in the way he saw happen in 1989 China. Having abjured the use of force, Gorbachev was unable to control the centrifugal manifestations of the reform process he had set in motion.

    Reagan initiated Star Wars while he cut off the flow of US technology to the USSR; all they got was grain. Obama gave China fracking technology, and Biden has repeatedly of late that China is not any real competition for the US. H. R. McMaster said on the last day of the Trump state visit to China, Premier Li Keqiang, a trained economist, lectured the Americans that “China, having already developed its industrial and technological base, no longer needed the United States. … the U.S. role in the future global economy would merely be to provide China with raw materials, agricultural products, and energy to fuel its production”. It goes without saying that is the opposite of what the Chinese are planning.

    Although much too cunning to ever say, China's intention is using their unbeatable economies of scale and work discipline to out compete America in commercial laissez faire. But termite-like efficiency is not enough, they need to stay abreast of cutting edge technology. For innovation, a society requires ‘autonomy, diversity, failure tolerance and the recombination of knowledge’ .


    Having covered adaptive landscapes in biology, he asks if this metaphor can have wider use. It can in chemistry, where there are many possible solutions to the problem of arranging atoms or molecules into larger structures. And in computing, such as delivery companies finding the optimal route for their fleet of vehicles. But Wagner even sees parallels in how artists, writers, or composers work, comparing what they do to a form of creative problem-solving in a mental landscape. Here too, finding better solutions sometimes requires big leaps, which can be brought about by play, daydreaming, or other means.
     
    Biden is right that America has this partly because of its culture and immigration. But it also is dependant on DNA of the traditional ethnic majority of the US. While high, Chinese intelligence was selected for through the Imperial examination system, which rewarded Eight-legged essay type thinking. But China can get access to the fruits of such a society without the political inconvenience of allowing those un-Confucian freedoms.

    China is going to offshore its R&D to America and just shake down US corporations who want in on the burgeoning home market of China. he domination of Wall Street finance will go the way of Britain’s supremacy. China is going to be the centre of the world economy and the idea that Wall Street will retain its status as wealth allocation and asset pricing hub after that happens is dubious. New York will be like the City of London is now: home to ‘family office’ wealth management for billionaires’ private fortunes. Shanghai and Shenzhen will be where the action will be.

    Is that so? But it is actually Greece that overplayed its hands and now begging Europe for sanctions and crying that Germany isn't stopping sale of submarines to Turkey. Libya is no loss either, Turkey had no influence there. Thanks to Greece's greed, Turkey now will get a naval base in Libya; completely encircling Greece from North, Northwest, East and South. In Cyprus you will soon see an independent Turkich Republic being accepted. Now that NK is out of equation, there is no barrier for Turkey to push for it. S400 is still contentious. There are serious doubts about F35 being a colossal failure (the US army actually has its own separate jet development now, I suspect they don't believe F35 either) and there are serious concerns regarding maintenance and flight readiness of these jets. I have heard rumors about the US army having hard time maintaining F35s. Not to mention that F35 is actually a platform, and they can be grounded remotely. Moreover, it is still not clear how it will end. There are some thoughts that I will not share, but it is unlikely S400s is a loss for Turks.

    That leaves Syria. It is still unclear how it will end. Turkey may end with short end of stick in Syria, but at least it is a valuable lesson on not trusting some countries, and not working with others. As you can see, you are too soon to say Turkey lost in all these problems, your judgment is probably affected by GOCDT (Greek obsessive compulsive disorder with Turks, a disease of mind that afflicts Greeks).

    Good talking past the sale here. Vaccines for these flu like illnesses are notoriously unreliable....
     
    Citation Needed beyond the flu. Which is a special case for pathogens we try to inoculate people for, our bodies don't latch onto "conserved" parts of the virus from either a natural infection, live virus vaccine, or the most common protein plus adjuvant vaccines. So those vaccines are not "eternal" like we have for so many other viruses that mutate at much higher raters than coronaviruses, which have a unique among RNA viruses proofreading mechanism.

    Whereas fairly recently as these things go, serological (blood) tests were done on 1918-9 pandemic survivors, and as far as we could tell their immune systems were ready to terminate with extreme prejudice that particular no longer circulating strain. The length of natural or vaccine stimulated immunity to SARS-CoV-2 by definition cannot be known for sure, you learn that as each day passes. But the immune system responses sure look to be eternal.

    Whether this immunity, which for natural immunity also includes the nucleocapsid protein, includes sufficiently conserved regions of the spike protein remains to be seen (a key word here for antibody mediated immunity is "polyclonal"). Again in part by definition, although I'd imagine there are groups trying to make good guesses about this based on what we know about how spike proteins function. Which we've been studying hard since SARS showed up, and then MERS provided SARS wasn't a one off.

    Some of that research was used by vaccine developers for the exact design of their spike protein to avoid antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). That may not be true for the inactivated virus vaccines ... but per the first sentence of this paragraph those also potentially immunize against the nucleocapsid protein, and for all we know, perhaps others. The key to avoiding ADE is invoking a strong immune system response, and that can be tested for in animal and Phase I trials.

A cop is an officer of the court, sworn to uphold the publics’interest, not yours. During arrest, anything you say or do can and will be used against you, not to help you. Sound friendly? The average american is guilty, unknowingly, of 3 felonies a day thanks to these heavily proliferated laws on the books. That cop doesn’t care if you are a nice guy or if you hadn’t known you were breaking anything at all. He has a salary, pension and a performance review to tend to. That takes precedent. You go to jail, or are charged. He’ll drag you into the psychopathic legal system whose objective is to find you guilty no matter if innocent. No skin off his nose. His union will make sure of that.

    There are three things that could be done to reign in questionable behavior by police and other public officials.
    1. Eliminate "qualified immunity" for ALL public officials. If public officials (yes, this includes police officers and their administrators, firefighters, prosecutors, court officials and all other "public servants"). If they knew that they could be sued personally (and possibly lose everything they own), they would tend to behave themselves.
    2. Require all public officials (yes, this includes police) to purchase a "bond" from an insurance company. You can bet that insurance companies would be more diligent in getting rid of the "bad apples" than our present system of municipal payouts. The municipality would pay the basic cost of the "bond" with any surcharges to be paid by the individual "public servant. Inability to obtain a "bond would preclude the individual from working as a "public servant". No bond=no job...
    3. Establish and enforce an "video audit trail" whenever there is interaction by any public official with the public. In the case of police and firefighters, no "video audit trail" would mean the inadmissibility of "evidence" as well as censure and possible dismissal of public officials' failure to assure that this "video audit trail" is present. A "video audit trail" would do much to eliminate the possibility of frivolous lawsuits by the public against public officials as well as assure that public officials "behave themselves". This is especially true in police interrogation rooms where police-coerced "false confessions" occur with alarming frequency.
    These three changes would put the public on an equal footing with our "leaders" (who are actually supposed to be subordinate to us citizens).
    There have been many cases where people who have been legally recording police (mis)behavior have been harassed by police, their equipment damaged or destroyed, and charges brought against them. Severe punishment should be meted out to those public officials who interfere with lawful recording by citizens.

    That's correct. The police are agents of state power, not members of the working class, and do not require union representation, or the outrageous benefits we taxpayers are forced to fund, or the immunity from prosecution for crimes against persons.

    Incidentally, Marxism has only one tenet: that for there to be a fair distribution of wealth, working people must own the places where they earn their wages. This was how society functioned before the industrial revolution, when farmers and artisans and tradesmen owned the land and the tools and the shops that created their livelihood.

    Those who make their unearned income by skimming off the lion's share of what our labor and purchasing power create need to convince us that society cannot function without their parasitic presence. Our unhappy country is just about to begin its feudal period, thanks to their insatiable greed, which will awaken our descendants to the reality of finally resolving the "class struggle."

    People like you seem to forget that cops are employees, first and foremost. Their employers are the ones that make the policies and procedures that they are required to follow, or be subject to discipline. They are in no different position, as an employee, than the woman flipping burgers at a McDonalds, or the guy washing the floor at the floor at an office building. They all do what they are told to feed their families.
    It is clear that you and your ilk, haven't a fucking clue as to what unions do and can't do. Unions are there to negotiate terms and conditions of employment, and defend their members against management actions contrary to the terms of the collective agreement - period. Any disciplinary action taken by management, in any organization, has to have an investigation. The union is there to ensure the member's rights under the collective agreement are followed and that the investigation is conducted properly. They are legally obligated to do so. If those rights are not followed, then grievances will be filed. Most grievances involving dismissals are based in the process used to dismiss. Unions are not there to defend members who have been charged with committing crimes. Being dismissed in a non-union workplace does not prevent people suing for wrongful dismissal. The difference is that a court cannot re-instate employment, they can and do award money, and lots of it if the employer's conduct in dismissing was not above board.
    I went to school with people who became cops, and have known dozens in my lifetime. The overwhelming majority were people who wanted to help the community, and by and large, easy going. That doesn't mean some weren't assholes, there were. There are as many, if not more, crooked and/or incompetent lawyers, accountants, and builders. The main difference is that they aren't under the same scrutiny as cops.
    You are looking through the wrong end of the telescope. Cops don't hire themselves. They don't write their own policies and procedures. They don't hire Israelis to train them. They don't direct the workforce and they sure as hell don't write the laws they are charged with enforcing.
    There's an old saying - the fish rots from the head. Another is the old plumbers' motto - shit runs down hill. It's the same in any organization, and the conduct of employees is a reflection of the corporate personality.

    What others have said in reply to this post is true, but I think one cannot overlook the EXTREME change in quality of people that make up police forces these days. Much of this has been due to a lowering of standards of qualifications, especially entrance exams, meant to weed out incompetent or immoral actors. In the Nassau County police qualification exam, the Justice Department colluded with a testing agency to try to create a test that was BOTH accurate in weeding out incompetent candidates AND did not create disparate impact on minorities. Such a thing is only considered possible if one believes the nonsense that these groups (races) are inherently equal in all human traits, such as intelligence, which obviously is false. Therefore, they denuded the test of virtually all mental complexity, keeping only the reading portion as an aspect of such measurement, but then they made it count only like 1-2% towards a passing score, AND one only had to read at the bottom level of incumbent officers.

    An EXCELLENT case study on this Justice Department meddling, which took place during the Clinton administration (imagine how much worse it is now!), was done by Professor Linda Gottfredson at the University of Delaware. Here is a link to anyone interested.

    If you identify as ‘White’, you are not awake.
    Its not an identity.
     
    Americans have an endemic historical relationship with Amerindians and blacks. The first were here when the white settlers arrived, and the second were brought over in chains.

    In both cases, whites understood their respective identity vis-a-vis the racial realities of the time.

    A Scot, a Brit or a German would and all could expect to go to the same saloon or hotel, and be treated the same. Not so an 'Indian' or Negro.

    So 'white identity' has always been a part of America's tapestry. Even as the French and British made devil's alliances with the 'Indians' to slaughter the Brits or French, respectively. Everyone involved all knew who the whites were, and who they weren't.

    Today, as we're all cajoled to think in non-racial terms, it's still quite impossible for a white man not to know he's being singled out because he's white. And if he doesn't identify as such, then his non-white coworkers will certainly be more than happy to point that out- for his second-class citizenship treatment, and as personae non gratae for his myriad, historical and ongoing crimes against POC.

    If you don't understand that you're white, then when they tell you in the HR department that you don't qualify for any promotions, because of your gender and skin color, then you'd have to be pretty stupid not to understand that you are a white person, with all that this means today, in the land of woke.

    There may be yet a few suicidally catatonic whites who don't identify as such,

    http://i.huffpost.com/gen/2276552/thumbs/o-BONDI-BEACH-1-570.jpg?6

    but you can be sure that non-whites will consider these 'ass-in-the-air' whites as quite an opportunity, to be taken full advantage of until they bleed their guilt out in buckets from every orifice.

    If you as a white person do not identify as white, then you're only denying your white, racist privilege!

    You see how that works?

    The very aggressive Jewish proselytizing throughout the Hellenistic post-Alexander world led to the Septuagint about 200 BC, and was denounced by Jesus about AD 30 (Matt. 23:15). It was really there. It seems that the numbers of Jews throughout the known world at that time was huge. Acts 18 deals with the Jews being expelled from Rome about AD 50, perhaps because of the social mischief they caused by that very aggressive proselytizing. Josephus cites an author a century before his time, first century BC, writing of the huge numbers of Jews in every known city of that Hellenistic world stretching from the Atlantic to well into India. And every category of Jew in the world today has been traced back historically and archeologically by an Israeli historian, Shlomo Sand, every group, every kind of Jew today, began with proselytes, converts to Judaism, in that Hellenistic world. It's amusing that the rabbis proselytizing in Europe about 100 BC through 100 AD made it clear to their converts that they were descendants of Ashkenaz, introduced at Genesis 10:3 i.e. they were Japhethites. All the humans in the world except those on the Ark died in the Flood so Ashkenaz had to repopulate Europe.

    Meanwhile look at Genesis, the genealogy of Abraham down from Shem. It asserts that Abraham's ancestor was the first-born in every generation but that man's father lived many decades longer and begot many sons and daughters, all descendants of Shem but not of Abraham.

God forbid, what if the pedophile ring would have been run by some Southern White males and the girls were all Black or Jewish. How much coverage would that story garner.

    In the same way you never, ever see any documentaries about the HOLOMODOR. An event that was so catastrophic to Christians. Most people I have spoken to have never even heard of it- especially young adults. However, they can tell you detailed stories about the Holocaust:

    QUOTE: SOLZHENITSYN: 66 Million Murdered By Jewish Bolsheviks…Solzhenitsyn asserts that since 1917, the Bolsheviks, continuing under assassin Stalin, through and even after WW2, systematically executed, and inside (and outside) their thousands of Gulags, worked, starved and froze to death, SIXTY-SIX million people, not all, but most of them CHRISTIANS (whom the Bolsheviks hated). = This mass death was THE LARGEST REAL “HOLOCAUST” in modern history

    What an interesting summary of Russia’s current situation.

    A country that is falling behind all of its cohorts, more and more, year after year, is somehow schooling and threatening the west with their new style of society in the manliest way. Putin, as we know, is a very powerful and manly leader.

    It’s hard to make the Soviet Union look good, but Putin’s really making them look pretty good. The Soviets actually built up that country, in their own awful way. Putin is a leach, and there’s been little progress under his leadership. At best he has brought forth a partial, flawed and unstable restoration of the Soviet system. Which was a system that really did have a lot of flaws in the first place.

    But Putin is smart about one thing, having a big military CAN get you a seat at the table with the big boys. But Russia really can’t afford that seat in the long run, and it can afford it even less than the Soviet Union could. The State of California alone has twice the GDP of Russia.

    Just a reminder, invading Ukraine some more will NOT make anything in Russia better, even if it makes Vlad feel better. Here’s another observation: China will not turn out to be a strategic partner to Russia, they never have been and never will be.

    You just never know how these kinds of dictatorships will end. What does happen after the big man retires? Who gets all of his money and real estate? No one knows. It’s never pretty. Democracy doesn’t always select the right people (see Trump (unless you’re Vlad – well played!)), but that’s actually not the key point.

    What an utter crock of crap. Example: The GDP of California. Who are the biggest employers in Kali? The WarDefense industry, of course. They are also the biggest moneymakers, sucking up billions upon billions, mounting into trillions from the ever-suffering American taxpayer. Leading the pack of parasites is Lockheed-Martin, whose primary owners just happen to be London Bank$ters, led and directed by the Rottenchild Crime Clan.

    Second in Kali's race to the roses is Hollywood and the Tribalists who have run the place, virtually since its inception. Contemporary movies are Krappola. Full of shootemups, car-chases, explosions and similar violence provoking, deliberate dumbing down of the American people, and even worse, exported all over the world to rake in those shekels.

    Then there's the rentier economy, centered on real-estate speculation, also adding hugely to their GDP. That metric is totally a false paradigm and essentially meaningless in determining the economic health of a nation. Consider the masses of homeless in California, jamming up streets, parks in their largest cities. Many of them have lost their homes due to the plandemic. Others are drugged out beyond comprehension, self-medicating in the face of a near terminally insane culture.

    As for "democracy", that is one of the biggest crocks of craps ever shoved down the throats of innocent children as well as the adulterated ones who are allegedly grown-up. The only actual forms of democracy in the U$ are (1. annual township meetings where each resident of the township has one vote and the whole process is free and open and (2. Initiative and Referendum, which is on the law books in a relative handful of enlightened states, where WE THE PEOPLE can create laws (such as legalizing cannabis) and not leave it entirely to bought and paid-for pro$titicians in the Di$trict of Corruption and all too many states across the fruited plain.

    In stark contrast, Russia constitutes probably the most well-run country in the industrialized world. Perhaps I should say, major country, as some lands such as Iceland are currently very responsive to their citizenry and even jailed a bunch of their most corrupted bank$ters who had made deals with Perfidious Albion which had greatly harmed the good people of that island republic. There is no doubt in my deeply studied and researched mind that Vladimir Putin is the premiere statesman in the world today. He is not a mere politician. His common-sense, levelheaded approach to governance is quite possibly the equal to that of Bismarck.

    As for dictatorships, why speak of speck in someone else's eye, when you have a log in your own. Consider $leepy Joe Biden, the (s)elected Pretzeldunce. He has been nothing more than a self-seeking corporate shill (he does hail from the state of Dupont) all through his checkered career; happens to be as corrupt as the day is long and is now shuffling through an advanced state of dementia, having reached his dotage even before his 80th year. Biding her time in the wings is Willie Brown's favorite laplander, Kamala's Foote, who never received one single delegate vote in the Democrat primaries but who was selected by Biden's handlers to replace him when his dementia reaches the drooling stage. Democracy, all right.

    "The State of California alone has twice the GDP of Russia."

    It's impossible to compare the two because California is part of a much larger economy and Russia is a sovereign nation. California's economy is artificially inflated because of all the money that's poured into it from the US Federal government in the form of military expenditures. California has almost 200,000 active duty military personnel. California also has an enormous welfare population with almost 4,000,000 people on food stamps which are heavily subsidized by the Federal government. If California were completely isolated from the US Federal government's money, it's economy would be much lower, probably much lower than Russia. Face it, most of the manufacturing that California once had is gone, it really doesn't have enormous natural resources and other than agriculture, tourism and some oil, it really doesn't have much going for it. Its full of poor people and getting poorer by the day. Russia has eight times California's white population, is the most resource rich country in the world and has almost endless potential.

    Silly-Con valley is moving to Austin. Hollywood is dwindling as theatres stay shuttered and actors are replaced with CGI characters, and principle huge markets like China and India look inward for content with people who look like them (do you think any Captain America, especially a black one, plays well in China these days?). Farming is increasingly under pressure from environmentalists. The state suffers increasing bouts of rolling electric blackouts under the perfect storm of ubiquitous air conditioning, electric cars, shuttering of power generation, and precautionary shutdowns of power lines to prevent them igniting undergrowth that environmentalists refuse to allow to be removed.

    Pretty much every industry that makes up the GDP of California, aside from defence manufacturing perhaps, is in a serious state of decline as you and I type away here.

    Comments are weird.

    The poll was about countries & regimes, not cultures or peoples.

    And, judging from graphs solely, there is a significant difference toward only 3 countries: China, Israel and Iran. Also, surprisingly so- France.

    I agree, the first comment here talking about Korea must have missed that point. Though in practice you can’t always disentangle the two. But, uh, you should be able to disentangle the two when it comes to the Koreas.

    Also, surprisingly so- France.

    Re: France, it doesn’t seem surprising to me. I imagine that divergent opinions about the French government largely date back to the Iraq War. While there was dissident right opposition to the war in the US, the Republican Party was basically all for it, while the Democrats were divided, and the Democrat hawks turned against it pretty quickly.

    Old-timers might also remember De Gaulle pulling France out of NATO. Perhaps adding, “After all we did for them!”

    But this might also be a case of culture being entangled with government. The leftist instinct (centuries old — see Thomas Jefferson) is to regard France as a place of culture, of sophisticated intellectuals and auteurs who have something to teach the badwhite rubes over here. The rightist instinct is to mock that culture and those intellectuals — they love to talk about deconstruction but they sure couldn’t find a way to deconstruct the Panzer offensive through the Ardennes!

    The current French and German governments are the core of SJW Islamic Globalism in Europe. These Elites have targeted Infidels (Jews and Christians) for replacement. And, they wield EU power against Christian governments in nations like Hungary & Poland.

    Translate this aggressive SJW Islam to U.S. politics:
    • The Elite DNC party of Ilhan Omar & Rashid Tlaib support Mutti Merkel's Great Replacement agenda.
    • Populist MAGA supporters have little in common with the SJW Globalist regimes in France & Germany.

    The GOP numbers should be much lower if the scores exclusively tie to current leadership. I suspect significant number of respondents are answering based on the people, not the leadership. There is much to be admired in the pro-Citizen Yellow Vest movement resisting anti-Citizen French Elites.

    French Citizen resistance to failed EU policy is ramping up at a staggering rate. Here are some articles you may wish to review:

  • When you feel pressured to move more quickly than you otherwise would it is likely that you are purposefully not being given enough time to think. Most con operations work this way at the crucial stage. The solution is usually to slow down when you feel this pressure. With these vaccines waiting a while is likely wise.

    If you have to be vaccinated because you want to travel or because of your employer use one of the Chinese vaccines because they do not use this RNA tech and are more comparable to traditional vaccines. Same applies to the Russian vaccine.

  • Creating excess new money is the cause of inflation. This is not debatable at all. Postulations about deflation right now are fantasy.

    Since there is going to be a big inflation around the world in the immediate future look on the bright side. Inflation is only really damaging to wage slaves. If you work for yourself you can adjust as you go along and might even come out ahead

    I have run a business through two big inflations. One of them of thirteen digit magnitude. It was no big sweat. Difficult times majorly favour well run businesses.

    There are lots of things that hold value better than money.

    Inflation gives a big discount, at the governments expense, to people who pay taxes since the taxes are usually paid in arrears

    Interest rates tend to spike so being debt free really pays dividends

  • Flu comes every year, usually several times. It has always been this way. Each outbreak is slightly different. The weak and the elderly sometimes die from it.

    There seems to be not much in the way of general excess deaths anywhere. One would expect a noticeable spike if there was a deadly virus around. This pandemic is mostly a mental problem. Vaccinating against flu is a losing proposition. Mutates too fast. There is no real protection.

    Correct. President Trump was discussing the use of UV light to disinfect the blood. As you correctly point out, he never said 'inject bleach'. That was CIAnderson Cooper on CNN.

  • I am failing to see the problem. America has always been this way.

    The American Revolution was mostly about blatant lies and propaganda put out by Washington, Franklin, Hamilton and co. Imagined grievances, one sided stories, withheld information and so on.

    The civil war was similar with both sides displaying tactics that would be easily recognised today. Lincoln was no saint.

    Roosevelt used these methods to force the Japanese into a war at a time when the American public and body politic had no appetite for war.

    There is nothing new here except that there is now a tiny gap in the curtain caused by the internet and we can see what was previously hidden. Big efforts are being made to close this gap.

    The persons who have been casualties of events on Jan 6 were willing stooges. That this was manifestly unjust is situation normal. Uncle Donald was certainly not playing 3d that day.
