The past couple days makes me think that maybe Hitlery Clinton was right and half of Trump supporters really are deplorable.
I still think Trump himself is a decent guy. He is the only presidential* candidate I've ever wanted to vote FOR (as opposed to always voting against someone), and I'm glad he did become President, as I've wanted him to be President since 1999. That much is true. If I do vote in November I without question will vote for Trump again because the alternative is unthinkable.
Still, I've never been a boot-licker. He has done some great things, and I still think he's the only good President we've had since JFK, but I think the reason he's been successful is because he basically throws shit against the wall and sees what sticks. He changes his mind every day. Naturally, when you've had 7000 ideas it's no surprise that 3500 were good just by dumb luck. He burns through staff members faster than the company I work for, and that's saying something. He hires "The best person in the entire world" and then fires the person in a week because they all turn out to 1. be shit or 2. contradict him on his latest pet idea.
I've called him out on a number of shit moves he's made, mostly bombing Syria in response to bullshit chemical attacks and his eliminating certain environmental protections (NOT global warming, which is complete and utter bullshit, but stuff to do with national parks).
And while he has improved the economy a little bit, it's not as good as when I was a kid before Clinton sold our factories to China. Most of the improvement is just in the stock market, which was pumped with 10,000 points of artificial liquidity by the Fed to make it look like the best thing ever, "The strongest economy the world has ever seen." Nixon did the same thing. Nixon made it look like he fixed the economy by dramatically increasing the debt. It got him re-elected in a 49 state landslide, but it took decades for the US to recover, and when it finally did Clinton killed it again.
And now this quarter-assed approach to dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic is by far his worst move yet. Still, that's not the bad part. As some people have pointed out, Trump really has no power here. He cannot coerce states to lift their own quarantines, so when he says "America will go to work again in a week" he has no authority to enforce that. It's just bullshit rhetoric meant to inspire people. Individual governors can tell him to go pound sand and there's nothing he can do because of the Tenth Amendment† (unless it's to spread progressivism, then SCOTUS is willing to abrogate the Constitution and conjure up laws out of whole cloth‡).
No, the bad part is not Trump or anything he's done, but his followers. They seem to be almost as assaholic as leftists. Almost.
They really seem to be fucking stupid. They seem to be some sort of Team America parody of extreme reckless jingoism. In the span of two weeks Alex Jones went from saying Coronavirus would signal the death knell of globalism to now saying it is a globalist hoax designed to institute a one-world police state. He went from talking about how the disease was so horrifically deadly that China was burning tens of thousands of bodies, turning the rain over Japan black from soot, to saying that seasonal flu is tens or even hundreds of times deadlier.
Every one of them seems to have the Team America theme playing on a continuous loop at full blast. MURICA! FUCK YEAH! COMING AGAIN TO SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKING DAY, YEAH! MURICA! FUCK YEAH! FREEDOM IS THE ONLY WAY!
“Coronavirus be a globohomo§ plot! I gots to buy me some more guns! 15 ain't enough!”
Are you Sarah fucking Palin or something? How many guns do you need? It's just like the people who hoard enough TP to build a fort.
“Muricans ain't scared of no flu bug! Coronavirus is a hoax by the Democraps to usher in Agenda 21! Literally NO ONE has died from Coronavirus! 8 BILLION people die every year from flu. 9 BILLION! We're going back to work! Murica! Fuck yeah!”
“If you criticize any aspect of anything Trump ever says you're a commie lib prog bundle of sticks!|”
Trump supporters, conservatives, and LOLbertarians are just as bad as Bernouts and progressives. They do engage in the purity spiral just as well, only instead of kicking out anyone who isn't woke enough they kick out anyone who isn't jingoistic or contemptuous of the environment or worker's rights enough.
No group seems to be capable of understanding nuance or context. No group seems capable of tolerating difference of opinion. You either agree 100% or BTFO. It's almost as if humans really are shit-flinging apes that got lucky like the atheists believe. Humans are just intelligent enough to be dangerous and invent bio-weapons, H-bombs, and AI-controlled social credit scores, but not intelligent enough not to be assholes to each other.
I can't fucking stand these people who say “Real Americans want to go back to work!” So literally anyone who disagrees with you, no matter the reason, is not a real American? It's not just that they are uninformed or mistaken, or maybe just have a different opinion, no, they are literally an enemy of the state?
“Real Americans LOVE working!” Really? I've never met one. Everyone I've ever worked with has hated working, they just do it because they have to. That's why they have to pay you to do it, because you wouldn't do it for free because it's shit. Even people who I've known who are workaholics admit they hate working, they just want to get it done with so they can accrue enough money through savings and investments to retire as soon as possible. The only people who seem to enjoy their jobs are the Youtubers who make six figures through ad revenue or e-begging, or selfish retirees who already have enough money to live off of but go back to work out of boredom, and in so doing steal jobs from younger, less credentialed people.
I almost want to sit out the election in November because 1. I live in New Jersey so my vote literally doesn't matter because the state would vote for Pol Pot or Jeffrey Dahmer if he had a “D” after his name, and 2. because I don't want to contribute to the victory of Trump's assaholic fans. I don't want to make them happy.
Please, dear President Trump, if you really are God Emperor, save me from your asshole fans.
* There were a few NJ senate candidates I did really like and vote for in the primaries, but none of them got the nomination, and I still think Alan Keyes is the smartest person to run for President and not get nominated.
† The Tenth Amendment to the US constitution says that the states have the sole and absolute authority to decide matters that are not explicitly granted to the federal government in the Constitution.
‡ Whole cloth is the metaphysical substance from which blatant lies are made.

What is History?
I've been keeping a diary since 2012, with some other bits written down earlier than that starting in 2006 (The Urban Mystic itself was started as a diary of my own mystical experiences). In preparation for writing a 365 day reflection book on various events (talking about great figures in the history of philosophy and mysticism and events like the Last Supper and the Resurrection) I've been looking back on those diaries and I was struck by just how much my recollections of events have changed over the years.
In a sense my life began in 2012 (and in another sense it began in 2006 when I was born again). Before then, in the great years like 2011, 2010, and others, I have no records, just vague memories, and, looking back on existing memories, I can see how much memory deviates from reality. Most of it is just forgetting stuff, but some of it is remembering things out of order. Who knows what really happened at that point.
It makes you wonder how accurate history really is. The oldest records of Alexander the Great are from 300 years after he died. The earliest Christian writings are from 40 years after the Resurrection, which is about as accurate as you can get until modern times. We now have primary sources and the printing press, which has allowed us to make unlimited copies to assure that the accounts of history are preserved.
We have cameras and video and now everyone is journalist. Everyone has a camera, everyone has Internet access, everyone can make unlimited copies of live events and protect them for posterity.
No longer are we reliant on official sources of news and information, now we can see events as they happen in real time and form our own opinions on events.
And yet there is the downside of this too. Technology is rapidly advancing toward the point where people can take audio and video samples and create perfect digital replicas of real people and places and create fake events that are indistinguishable from the real thing (unless you have access to the metadata). “Deep fake” they call it. We're not there yet, but we're getting there quickly.
Then there is the censorship. The corporate press and elite tech robber barons are frightened of a world where they are not the sole arbiter of truth. If a person with a smart phone can reach more people than a stuffed shirt with hair plugs and a journalism degree whose making seven figures then who needs the stuffed shirt? The gate keepers are becoming irrelevant and that frightens them, so they've turned to two tools that all tyrants employ when faced with this situation: censorship and propaganda (physical violence happens when these methods fail). Anyone who questions the official narrative is labeled as a bigot or a heretic and their material is removed from the polite web. Dangerous individuals (Facebook literally removed several accounts of people they said were “dangerous” like Milo Yiannopoulos and Alex Jones) are deplatformed, unpersoned, and slandered. They are tainted and rendered unemployable. Banks won't touch them. It is no longer necessary to execute political undesirables as they had in the Twentieth Century, now you can make sure undesirables can't get a job so they become homeless and starve and descend into suicidal despair.
Then there is the condition of living in what is called “post truth”. Pilate asked “What is truth?” Today this question is answered with another question, “Whose truth?” Different people have different truths. People can witness the same objective events and experience them as totally different subjective realities. Beliefs about reality have begun to superseded objective reality itself. Understanding this allows one to manipulate others perceptions for fun and profit. It makes writing history a nightmare, but it's great for trolling people on Twitter.
Take the shampeachment for instance. Tens of millions of people can watch the shampeachment as a great crusade against the most evil being who has ever or will ever live. They will see Trump extorting the President of Ukraine to investigate Biden's son in an attempt to destroy Biden's own presidential campaign years before he even decided to run for office, back when he said he was not going to run. Even though President Zelensky himself admits nothing of the sort happened. But we can't believe his own testimony, it's clearly Stockholm syndrome! And, of course, even though we have Biden admit on video that he deliberately extorted Ukraine to fire an ambassador in exchange for aid money, committing the very crime President Trump was accused of, that never happened either. It's a deep fake created by the “vast right-wing conspiracy”.
At the same time tens of millions of people see the shampeachment as nothing more than a purely partisan political shitshow that was an attempted soft coup that had been in the planning stages since before Trump had even been inaugurated.
Tens of millions of people are living in totally opposite alternate realities that happen to occupy the same physical space but different psychosocial spaces.
Wikipedia, a Chinese-controlled far-leftist propaganda machine, has proposed solutions to the post truth world (and the newspeak equivalents in parentheses):
1. Have the tech oligarchs design algorithms to filter out opinions that run counter to the official narrative (“filter out fake news”)
2. Have bought and paid for priests of the new secular religion make public appearances to spread propaganda because their livelihoods literally depend on it (“greater visibility of scientists and the scientific community”)
3. Government crackdowns on any dissenters through deplatforming and unpersoning, and, if you're a Bernie Bro, gulags, which “weren't all that bad.” (“stronger government involvement in combating fake news”)
4. Make people rat one another out like they did in the Soviet Union (“scrutinizing fake news”).
Roger Scruton has his own theories about post truth, so does Ken Wilber, but that's a topic for another day.
We are living in times that are both exciting and frightening. Things are changing so fast, much faster even than in the 2010s when I wrote about the World Gone Mad and how society was racing toward fundamental changes without even stopping to consider the potential consequences, that it strains the mind to even keep up. The human brain might not be large enough to handle so much information all at once, and might not be able to develop the psychological, social, economic, or political structures such a rapidly changing world requires. We may very well reach the hypothesized singularity, where technological growth trends toward infinity, or we may be reaching Calhoun's behavioral sink and the collapse of society as we reach the point where economic growth can no longer be sustained. And with things like post truth and deep fakes who knows if we'll even realize what's going on when we do reach that point.

The Necessity of a Russo-American Alliance
Americans harbor fantastical racism toward Russians. The easy answer might be to say it is a hold over from the Cold War, but the hatred runs far deeper than that.
It is true that Americans hated Russians during the Cold War, and Russians thought it was because of communism. However, after the Soviet Union collapsed, Americans still hated Russians. Americans hate Russians not because of communism, but because Russians are Russians.
The trouble goes back all the way to the beginning of the Russian state. Russia was always the other, never quite Europe, but not Asia. After four centuries of harassment and repression at the hands of the Turks, the powerful Russian empire stood poised to obliterate the Ottoman empire and deal the Turks reprisal for enslaving half of Europe. The great powers should have cheered Russia on and provided aid and moral support. Instead France and Britain, enemies for a thousand years, joined forces and helped the Turks defeat the Russians in the Crimean War.
Britain and France saw in the Ottoman empire a puppet, where as in Russia they saw a rival. Vast beyond all imagining, with a bottomless supply of resources and manpower, Russia could swallow up the world if given half a chance. It's better to stick to the devil you know than these sub-human sons of Vikings.
America, as heir to the West, inherited hatred of Russia along with British common law and the English language.
Russia is an upstart. They are not an Ancien Régime like Britain or France or even Germany, who, through intermarriage, managed to take control of all the ruling houses of Europe without firing a shot. We can always pretend Germany, or the Holy Roman Empire, is successor to Rome, even though no such entity existed until 1871.
The Russians, on the other hand, they just appeared in the sixteenth century. They are also Orthodox Christians, not good Protestants like the British or Germans. Even the French Catholics with their Vatican voodoo are better than the crazy beards and fur caps of the mad Russian monks.
And Russians were not true full-blooded Europeans, they were Slavic untermensch. They weren't animals like Africans or Asians, they were more sophisticated, more sinister. They were like Neanderthals, animals that masqueraded as men. But the veneer of civilisation was never thick enough to convince the inbred cliques of Western Europe that Slavs were fully human like themselves.
That hatred, along with the insatiable bloodlust of the military-industrial-intelligence-media complex, is fueling a Cold War 2 and threatening to tear apart any detente that President Trump hopes to build with Russia.
The Cold War was fueled by the bottomless desire for money and influence. Where once Uncle Joe Stalin had provided the bulk of the effort to stop the Nazis, with Roosevelt and Churchill happily smoking away with the Supreme Soviet, the end of the war had posed an existential threat to the nascent deep state. Without arms contracts the endless supply of money would dry up. With no enemy to spy on the intelligence apparatchiks would have to take jobs selling carpets or working in a delicatessen. No, they needed to concoct a new war so the party would never stop, and they fell back on the easiest target: Russia.
The military-industrial-intelligence complex, of both super powers, had to get rid of Kennedy and Khrushchev because they faced off eye to eye and found common ground and then turned inward to repair their broken countries. After the Cuban Missile Crisis, when the missiles were removed from Cuba and Turkey and almost 20 years of hostilities between the USA and USSR began to cool, Kennedy tried to restrain the power of the CIA and the private Federal Reserve, and Khrushchev tried to take resources away from the KGB and the arms manufacturers to improve the welfare of the Soviet citizens. Naturally they had to be removed and two war hawks, LBJ and Brezhnev, put in power.
Militarism, not communism, destroyed the USSR, and it very nearly destroyed the USA. USA just had a head start in terms of money it could lose, having avoided a disastrous civil war and destruction of 20% of its industry in WWII. If both countries started off on an even playing field both would have collapsed around the same time.
Of course the USSR couldn't compete. 3 million dead in WWI, another 4-5 million wounded. Loss of most of Russia's agricultural land. 6 years of civil war, another 3 million dead, at least. 7 million dead in famines in 1921-22, another 5-10 million dead in famine in 1932-33. At least 20-26 million dead in WWII, plus the destruction of at least 20% of all Soviet industry and agricultural land.
The Cold War was like a heavyweight champion fighting against some guy with both legs and an arm tied behind his back, and still, despite all that, in a single lifetime, people in the Soviet Union started basically as slaves living off the land making nothing to ending up making half of what people in America were making in 1991.
Imagine what could have happened if Kennedy and Khrushchev were allowed to make peace instead of being eliminated and having pointless war continue.
Imagine now what a glorious future we can live in if Trump and Putin are able to bring our two nations together. One unified force to eliminate Islamic terrorism, one unified force to chart a path to Mars and the outer moons. American technical know-how combined with the ironclad faith of the Russian Orthodox Church can restore Western civilisation to the glory it once was before materialism, atheism, cultural relativism, and moral nihilism began to eat away at the very heart of the greatest civilisation in human history.
I've spoken on this topic at length. The emptiness that has taken root in the West is the driving force behind Islamic terrorism. Lack of religion in the West, lack of value and meaning to life, is creating a vacuum, both spiritual and physical. Westerners are refusing to breed, so to solve the problem of a rapidly declining population, Angela Merkin, like a reverse Hitler, is flooding Europe with Islamic third-worlders. With no strong Christianity within Europe, there is nothing to stop those migrants from forming rape gangs and burning Sweden to the ground. Merkin is committing genocide against the German people.
The only thing that can keep the West from falling to pieces is strong Christian faith and a desire to breed, providing both the spiritual and physical bulwark against the endless hordes of Islamic migrants who believe women are property, rape is acceptable, homosexuals should be murdered, and all knowledge should be burned except for a single, all-encompassing book that can be interpreted six ways till Sunday by every back alley cleric and self-proclaimed Caliph.
And the only place where Christianity still reigns in Europe is Mother Russia.
We've watched as secular states in the Middle East and north Africa have been decapitated: Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan (the pro-Soviet government the United States destroyed by creating Al Qaeda). Egypt was nearly destroyed, and by every indication it appears that Erdogan of Turkey is an Islamist. The United States has its sights on Syria and Iran, two of Russia's allies. They should be our allies too, in the war against radical Islam. You see, even though the people there are overwhelmingly Muslim, they are ruled by rational actors who fully embrace technology and the twentieth century. Iran provided the US with support in eliminating the Taliban after 9/11. That's not because they are pro-America, Tehran just didn't want radical Islamists at their doorstep. There is also a horrendous heroin problem in Iran, fueled by the vast fields of opium poppies that grow from one horizon to the other in Afghanistan. Just as Britain and America sided with Stalin in World War Two, Iran sided with America against the Taliban because they shared a common enemy.
The United States went to war in Afghanistan out of revenge. Iran did so because they don't want mad, seventh century barbarians right next door poisoning and murdering their people.
Secular dictatorships in the Middle East are necessary to keep radical Islam from spreading, just as strong adherence to Christianity is necessary in Europe for the same reason. There were no refugees when Gaddafi was in power. He provided his people with free housing, food, water, and jobs, all paid for by the ocean of oil Libya sits atop, and he provided security by eliminating any Islamist barbarian who tried to stir up discord. The same is true with Assad in Syria.
If you sow the wind you will reap the whirlwind. If the United States works with Russia, Syria, and Iran to defeat radical Islam, everyone's lives will improve. There will be no need for anyone to migrate to Europe because Syria and Iraq themselves will be safe once again. Everyone wins except the arms manufacturers and the intelligence agencies.
That is why it is imperative that Trump is able to defeat the chickenhawks in Washington. That is why US troops need to be pulled out of Poland and the Baltic states, why the people of Crimea be permitted to stay in Russia where they voted to be. If the West is to survive, if world peace is truly to be realised, there must be an alliance between the US and Russia. If not then the West is destined to be reduced to dust in the wind.
It is true that Americans hated Russians during the Cold War, and Russians thought it was because of communism. However, after the Soviet Union collapsed, Americans still hated Russians. Americans hate Russians not because of communism, but because Russians are Russians.

You see, even though the people there are overwhelmingly Muslim, they are ruled by rational actors who fully embrace technology and the twentieth century. Iran provided the US with support in eliminating the Taliban after 9/11. That's not because they are pro-America, Tehran just didn't want radical Islamists at their doorstep. There is also a horrendous heroin problem in Iran, fueled by the vast fields of opium poppies that grow from one horizon to the other in Afghanistan. Just as Britain and America sided with Stalin in World War Two, Iran sided with America against the Taliban because they shared a common enemy.
The United States went to war in Afghanistan out of revenge. Iran did so because they don't want mad, seventh century barbarians right next door poisoning and murdering their people.
Secular dictatorships in the Middle East are necessary to keep radical Islam from spreading, just as strong adherence to Christianity is necessary in Europe for the same reason. There were no refugees when Gaddafi was in power. He provided his people with free housing, food, water, and jobs, all paid for by the ocean of oil Libya sits atop, and he provided security by eliminating any Islamist barbarian who tried to stir up discord. The same is true with Assad in Syria.
If you sow the wind you will reap the whirlwind. If the United States works with Russia, Syria, and Iran to defeat radical Islam, everyone's lives will improve. There will be no need for anyone to migrate to Europe because Syria and Iraq themselves will be safe once again. Everyone wins except the arms manufacturers and the intelligence agencies.
That is why it is imperative that Trump is able to defeat the chickenhawks in Washington. That is why US troops need to be pulled out of Poland and the Baltic states, why the people of Crimea be permitted to stay in Russia where they voted to be. If the West is to survive, if world peace is truly to be realised, there must be an alliance between the US and Russia. If not then the West is destined to be reduced to dust in the wind.

What is at Stake in the Next Election
There are three primary issues that I care about that influence my decision on the next election. All the little things, the degeneracy, the lies, the demographic decline and fall of the West, that's all secondary. All that can be dealt with much later. That's been my position for many years. For other people, they want to deal with minutia right now and ignore major problems. They want to deal with the hangnail RIGHT NOW and focus on the massive hemorrhaging wound at their own convenience, if ever. Look at all the issues that have captured the attention of the masses over the past five years. They're all trivial. Look at the three biggest catastrophes facing the country: the economy, national security, and the worst education system in the developed world; the masses ignore them completely.
As long as Caesar gave the plebs bread and circuses the masses were happy. The same is true today but with welfare and celebrities exposing themselves on television.
Haven't I been saying it? We have the worst unemployment in US history, terror attacks - whether organised or "lone wolf" - are at a terrifying level, we're hemorrhaging $4 billion per day - over $1 trillion per year - more than we have, there's more debt than money in the entire US economy, the criminal government is decapitating duly elected governments in the Muslim world and replacing them with radical barbarians from the 7th century who burn women alive in cages, throw gays off buildings, and post the videos of their rape and murder online, Iran is trying to acquire nuclear weapons, diseases that had once been eradicated like TB and measles have been reintroduced due to the gigantic flood of illegal migration, and the masses are concerned over trivial issues that concern maybe 2 million people, tops. Let's focus on the 93 million people without jobs first, then get to the 2 million people who want to use the wrong bathroom. I'm not saying let's ignore the trivially small issue, I'm saying let's focus on fixing the catastrophe first, then when we're not on the verge of total collapse, then we can deal with the trivial issue.
Issue one is the economy, stupid. Always has been, always will be, until we evolve into a post-economic system where people no longer have to pay to exist.
In 1930 there were 93 million people alive in the US, and 13 million people without jobs. In 2016 there are 350 million people alive in the US (324 million "officially" and at least 40 million here illegally, most uncounted), and 93 million people without jobs. There are more people who are not working in the US today than were alive during the Great Depression. It's that bad.
Don't let the fake "unemployment" numbers fool you, or the "120,000 jobs created last month." That's sophistry. More flashy nonsense designed to distract you from the truth. Those "jobs" that are created are temporary minimum wage jobs that only let you work 20 hours a week. Even if you had three jobs you wouldn't be able to live. And the unemployment numbers are even more deceptive. Once a person's benefits expire they are no longer counted as "unemployed" even if they haven't found a job yet. Those people exist in a state of limbo, where they're not employed but they're not "unemployed", so they are completely forgotten by everyone but the people whose lives are ruined by this disastrous system of lies. Sure, "unemployment" might be 4%, or however low they pretend it to be (4% has always been the margin of error and is, effectively, 0 unemployment), but in terms of real numbers it's over 25%. One in four working age Americans is not making enough money to survive.
I'm no "expert" but it doesn't take a genius to see the economic policies the criminal US government has been pursuing since at least 2007 are not working. In fact, they are making the situation worse year after year. Every year fewer people are working, those who are are having their hours cut, jobs are being shipped overseas, and more immigrants are flooding into the country, diluting an already ruinously low job market.
Printing money, inflating the stock market, and erasing jobs is not the way to fix the economy, it's a way to permanently destroy it.
What's the solution? We need to stop printing money and we need to bring jobs back. Take a good look at the candidates. Only one of them is not a career politician. Only one of them has even held a job, let alone created jobs. Scoffers will say that a handful of Donald Trump's businesses filed for bankruptcy, and they say this is a sign he knows nothing about business. They say this because they know absolutely nothing about business. Most businesses fail within the first ten years, and most very successful people have failed a great deal before finally succeeding. Yes, a handful of Donald Trump's businesses have failed, that's because he is a very successful business mogul who has taken a lot of risks starting a lot of businesses and failing at several of them to discover what works and what doesn't. Even great athletes fail most of the time. With great success no one remembers the failures. No one remembers the 67% of balls you missed, they only focus on the 33% you hit out of the park. But with Donald Trump the scoffers like to point out his handful of failures and say those totally negate his successes! You can make a compilation of all the shots Michael Jordan missed and think you're making him look like an idiot, but most people will recognise that you're the idiot and that Jordan was one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
Donald Trump has an estimated 500 businesses. 4 of them have gone bankrupt. That's a success rate of 99.2%! And never-Trumpers still parade those four bankruptcies around as if Trump is the worst businessman on the planet!
Scoffers also like to say he started out with tons of money he inherited and that proves he knows nothing about business. They say this because they know absolutely nothing about money. Nearly all lottery winners end up flat broke within a few years of winning. They end up worse off financially than before they won. Inheriting money does not make someone a tremendous success, it usually makes you a loser and a failure. If someone gave you $1,000 and you went and turned it into $1,000,000, then you would be very good at making money. Donald Trump turned a few million into $10 billion. He created a global business that employs tens of thousands of people, and has become one of the most famous billionaires in the world. Sure, people like Carlos Slim and Warren Buffett might be richer, but they're not celebrity billionaires. Very few billionaires are as famous as Donald Trump. He knows more about branding than most of the other billionaires combined.
Who knows more about jobs, Hitlery Roddamn Clinton – career politician, or Donald Trump – business mogul? If you had to take a gamble, would you gamble on someone who can string a bunch of pretty theoretical words together or someone who has actually created jobs? Trump has negotiated with governments all over the world, he knows what he's doing. On the other hand, Clinton's brand of negotiations led to the destabilisation of North Africa and the Near East with the Arab Spring, war in Libya, war in Syria, war in Iraq, the spread of ISIS, war in Ukraine. Donald Trump might have failed selling steaks, but Hitlery Clinton has failed completely at geopolitics, and a million lives have already been lost as a result.
No one can say whether Trump's economic plan will work. Economists said the subprime market was solvent months before it collapsed, so it's safe to say most of economics is guess work. The one thing we do know is that the Bush-Obama-Clinton economic policies have failed, and will continue to fail. A vote for Clinton is a vote for a proven track record of failure. A vote for Trump gives us at least the chance of success.
Safe Bet: Trump
Issue number two is national security. This one should be a no brainer. Ignoring the existence of Islamic terrorism has only made it worse. Every month, just about, we hear of another mass shooting somewhere. Just as one crisis ends another one flairs up with no time in between to recover.
Millions of radical Muslim "refugees" have flooded Europe, and the EU has allowed it because the white Europeans have given up on breeding and they need to import a working class to prop up the bloated welfare system. Sure, rape and murder might have skyrocketed, and thousands of years of European culture might have to be abandoned because it's haram, but that's a small price to pay to replace the European babies who were never born.
The same thing is happening in the US on a smaller scale. ISIS brags online that they are infiltrating the West with operatives who are posing as refugees. Last year FBI Director James Comey said that ISIS has cells in all 50 US states. What is anyone doing to stop them? Attempting to confiscate the guns of legal gun owners? How well did that work out in France? In France guns are close to illegal. Semi-automatic guns, the kind where you have to pull the trigger every time to make it fire, are limited to 3 round capacity. And yet all the gun restrictions in the world didn't stop ISIS terrorists from acquiring bombs and military grade guns and murdering 130 people in Paris last year. It's almost as if criminals don't obey the law!
And as all of this is happening the criminal US government won't even use the words "Islamic" and "terrorist" in the same sentence! Or else they'll try to deflect the issue and say that 99% of Muslims are good, and it's just a handful who are terrorists. Well, 1% of a million people is still ten thousand people! These people have no problem letting in thousands of would-be terrorists, all so that they don't look racialist, even though Islam is not a race, it is a set of beliefs held by people of all races on every continent.
And it's not just the radicals. What counts as "moderate" is abhorrent as well. The governments of eleven Muslim countries make homosexuality a crime punishable by death. You can't say all those countries are full of radicals. The Saudis, the Emirates, Kuwait, Yemen, Pakistan, Iran, are they all radicals? The Saudi princes are the biggest supporters of Hitlery Clinton on the planet. They live in all the comfort the Western world has to offer and drink Johnny Walker Black when no one is looking. They seem pretty moderate to me. I mean, they're not running around blowing themselves up or cutting off heads.... Actually the Saudi government beheads more people per year than ISIS does. And they're the moderates.
Clinton has taken $25 million from Saudi Arabia, a country where women are not allowed to vote, or drive, or leave the home without male supervision. A country where marital rape is legal, where child marriage is legal, where child rape is legal. A country that is funding ISIS. That's right, the same country that is funding the enemies of the US are funding Clinton as well! If any other person on the planet was connected to these people that person would not be allowed to run for president. But Clinton is above the law. She's too big to jail.
If you're a woman, or gay, or a Jew, or an atheist and you vote for Hitlery Clinton you are literally a traitor to yourself and your own best interests. Clinton is backed by the Saudi government, which murders gays, treats women as property, and imprisons anyone who is not a Sunni Muslim.
And Trump doesn't want to exclude Muslims from America. In one of the
debates he said that the Muslim community in America needs to work with
the police to find the few radicals who want to launch terror attacks.
The only way to eliminate the radicals is if people within the Muslim
community help the police identify who the radicals are. Working
together is not exclusion.
Trump's "extreme vetting" of persons
from regions that are known to harbor terrorists (Syria, Iran, Lybia),
isn't excluding Muslims either. Most Muslims will get through because
they're not terrorists. Even Clinton herself said we need "vetting that
is as tough as it needs to be." Checking someone's papers who want to
enter the United States is not an exclusion of Muslims from America any
more than Carter's suspension of visas from Iran in 1979 following the
Islamic Revolution, and his deportation of 15,000 Iranians who were
found in violation of their visas (which was upheld on First Amendment
ground in federal court).
Don't think I'm trying to lay all the blame at the feet of Islamic terrorism. There are other terrorist groups a lot closer to home. Elements within the CIA staged a coup in Ukraine a few years ago as a pretext for going to war with Russia. NATO has been expanding in Russia's near abroad for decades, and their actions have ramped up in recent years. Remember, Russia has 7,000 nuclear weapons. Total war necessarily means nuclear war, which means billions of deaths worldwide. Hitlery Clinton and all the Republicans have come out and said they want nuclear world war with Russia. Donald Trump is the only candidate who has said the only logical statement regarding Russia, that they are our natural ally against Islamic terror in the world. Russia and the Assad regime in Syria represent stabilising influences in the region. So did Gadaffi in Libya and Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Stable, secular military dictatorships all throughout the Islamic world have been eliminated one by one by the US, leading to the spread of radical Islamic groups like al Qaeda and ISIS, the breakdown of governance and the rule of law, and millions of deaths. Remember, this started with the first Clinton when he invaded Somalia for no apparent reason, and continued under Bush who destroyed Iraq at the cost of $1 trillion and thousands of American lives, and has escalated under Obama and Hitlery with their Arab Spring policy. Both parties are guilty of destroying stable governments and strengthening Islamic terrorism. Both parties have the blood of millions of innocents on their hands. Both parties want to start a war with Russia. Only Donald Trump wants to avoid war. He wants to work with Russia to defeat ISIS – who the US created, either deliberately or out of criminal negligence – and then he wants to pull out and focus on America.
Clinton is so worried about the 250,000 people in Aleppo, because only
the US is allowed to murder hundreds of thousands of civilians, no one
else. It doesn't matter that up to 1 million Iraqis, mostly civilians,
died in the war that she voted for. It doesn't matter that she wants
regime change in Syria because the elite who fund her want to build an
oil pipeline through the country, it doesn't matter that millions more
will die if Assad is eliminated, and that billions will die in nuclear
war. Clinton has to stare down Putin because he's the only one on the
planet who is resisting US aggression.
Clinton gave Russia the
uranium to build nuclear missiles capable of wiping out the United
States. 20% of US uranium was sold to Russia in a pay-to-play scheme in
exchange for Clinton Foundation "donations".
On live TV she
revealed that our response time is 4 minutes, letting them know how far
from the coast they need to park their subs to wipe us out before we
even notice the launch. 4 minutes by ballistic missile is about the
distance from the coast to Bermuda. If Russian subs are closer to the
coast than that, they can launch their missiles and destroy our cities
BEFORE our defense installations can even detect the launch. Clinton
gave the Russians knowledge on how to conduct a decapitation strike
against the US, a first strike that eliminates our ability to launch a
retaliation.
Clinton calls Putin "Hitler" and threatens to start a
war when she gets in the White House. Clinton wants to start a war with
Russia after giving them our uranium and letting them know what our
nuclear response time is. It's almost as if she wants Russia to
annihilate the US.
And securing the border? Trump wants to secure the border so we keep crime and drugs from spilling over into the United States (and by cutting the bottom out of the market, starving the drug cartels and helping Mexico out too).
Some people crossing the border are trafficking drugs. "Most of the drugs that enter the U.S. come from Central and South America."
Some people crossing the border are criminals. In a 2005 report 27% of inmates in Federal prisons were in the country illegally. Yes, that's fewer people than the native population, I don't think anyone denies that, but 49,000 people is still a lot. It would be nice if we could monitor who it is crossing the border, especially with instances of human trafficking and human rights abuse. It would be nice to cut that down, and whether that's with the Great Wall of China, a chain-link fence, or more border patrol agents, stopping human beings, including sex slaves, being smuggled over the border, even if it's only a few thousand, is a good idea.
Drug cartels are using rape as a weapon on the border. From Latina.com:
"From beheading to kidnappings, there seems to be no limit to what the Mexican drug cartels are willing to do to assert their dominance—and they deal not only in drugs, but also in humans. The majority of the coyotes who help undocumented immigrants cross the border are affiliated with the cartels.
Although many politicians would like to believe that the violence will stay to the south of the border, the reality is that it has already begun to affect South Western states. The revelation that Phoenix is now the “kidnapping capital” of the United States only affirms what many residents already believe.
Now, a new method of marking territory has crossed over into the United States. “Rape trees” are popping up in Southern Arizona and their significance is horrific. These “rape trees” are places where cartel members and coyotes rape female border crossers and hang their clothes, specifically undergarments, to mark their conquest."
What is a rape tree:
"Rape trees are trees or bushes that mark where sexual assaults have occurred by arranging the victim's undergarments on or around the trees branches or on the ground. "Rape trees" are commonly and increasingly found along the United States and Mexico borders as illegal immigration grows. Immigrant females are particularly at risk of being assaulted by the typically male "coyotes" that illegally guide them through the border area. Violent crimes including rape are rarely reported as the victims fear they may be deported after coming forward. Women often seek out birth control methods to prevent pregnancy from anticipated sexual assaults. The marked trees serve to intimidate both the illegal immigrants being guided, as well as local citizens, that the human traffickers are willing and able to commit acts of violence to gain compliance from victims and deter potential witnesses or rescuers."
Sure would be nice to put a stop to that. Bill Clinton thought so too 20 years ago, as did most Republicans and Democrats. Trump doesn't want to get rid of Mexicans, he wants to put a stop to human trafficking and cut off the flow of drugs into the US, and to do that we need to secure the border.
What does Clinton think of securing the border? She wants to leave it wide open. She wants to increase the influx of "refugees" (from the war she created!) by 500% over what we are taking in now. She wants amnesty for millions of illegals, because they are her voter base. Granting them all citizenship will guarantee so many Democrat votes that it will be impossible to hold a free and fair election again. She will have imported so many knee-jerk voters that no amount of reason and evidence will ever prevail against 30 million guaranteed Democrats.
If you like your democracy you can keep it.
The evidence is clear, only a fool, or an arms manufacturer, would think that the candidate who
promises to go to war is the safer alternative to the candidate who
promises to negotiate to keep us out of war. What happened to the anti-war movement under Bush? Did it just evaporate like morning dew? The truth is they were anti-Republicans, not anti-war. It doesn't matter if Obama kills twice as many Americans in Afghanistan than Bush did, and not a peep. Obama launches air-strikes in seven countries, not a peep. Obama brags about how he's "Really good at killing people," not a fucking peep. As long as a Democrat is killing people the supposed anti-war movement does not care.
The choice could not be any more obvious.
Safe Bet: Trump.
And last, but certainly not least, education.
It should be obvious to anyone willing to examine the evidence, that the US has the worst education system in the developed world. The United States ranks behind Russia, Slovenia, Australia, Estonia, Vietnam, Canada, Poland, and China, to name a few. Is that any surprise? If you've been getting your news from a TV comedian it probably is. If you've been to a store and you see the kid behind the counter doesn't know how to make change, or even how to push the button to change an order, you know this is a major problem.
You already know about the clutural Marxism that has infested academia. You know about "safe spaces", "trigger warnings", and Marxists censoring the free speech of tenured professors. You know that academia is run by authoritarians who care more about hurt feelings than facts, and who believe that producing emotionally-stunted adults who act like children is all that matters.
But let's take a step back. What about the wonderful public school system? High school graduation rates are at the highest they've ever been! That's because dumb kids are being pushed through like cattle to the slaughter and programs for smart kids are being cut so the dumb kids don't feel bad for being excluded.
26% of high school graduates are below the basic reading level. This means these kids do not have the
skills necessary to perform simple and everyday literacy activities. One quarter of all high school graduates are functionally illiterate! In 1979 only 1% of graduates were illiterate, and now it's 26% thanks to "outcome-based education." Worse still, 19% of high school graduates can't read AT ALL! One in five graduates cannot read their own name.
Remember Bush's "No Child Left Behind Act"? And it's gotten worse under Common Core, where getting the correct answer is wrong unless you use all your fingers and your toes to count by ones!
The schools have failed a significant percentage of kids. People with no education and no skills, mostly poor urban blacks and Latinos, often can't get a job (see above), and in order to make money just to survive turn to crime. They turn to crime, they turn to drugs, and then they run afoul of the police. They go to prison, they die in gangland shootings, or they die in standoffs with the police. The horrible state of public education in America, combined with economic policies that ship jobs overseas, are creating the crime that is devastating minority communities. Blacks and Latinos who vote for the Bush-Obama-Clinton policies are literally voting for their own poverty and inner city violence. If black lives really mattered, if you really want police shootings to stop, you need to solve the root causes of the problem, which means fixing the economy, fixing the schools, and securing the border. And that means voting for Trump.
Not only has public school failed the children (precisely because children are not allowed to fail or be held back), but college has failed them as well. Student loan debt in the US is at $1.4 trillion! And, unlike other forms of debt, student loan debt cannot be erased through bankruptcy. It is stuck with you until you die. College tuition rates are soaring, and students are graduating with worthless degrees in gender studies or critical theory. College graduates are saddled with, on average $37,000 of debt, which at minimum wage, working 20 hours a week, minus tax, can be paid off in only 6 years, assuming you don't have to eat, or pay rent, or car insurance, or buy gas or food. And God help you if you get sick or injured. With ObamaCare deductibles at $6,000 per year, if you're lucky, you'll be paying all your doctor bills out of pocket, plus your premiums, unless you want to pay the penalty (that's totally not a tax, unless it is, depending on what bullshit the Supreme Court is using to justify the law).
And no, a $15 minimum wage won't help either. College graduates are already competing for minimum wage jobs, for which they are over-qualified, with older people who can't afford to retire, high school kids who can't read, and illegal aliens who can be paid under the table for less. The only thing a $15 minimum wage, a minimum wage well below a living wage, will do is force even more young people out of the labor market and, if they're lucky, onto welfare, and, if they're unlucky, into a life of crime. And it's mostly poor blacks and Latinos who are hurt by these failed Bush-Obama-Clinton policies.
Neither will forgiving student loan debt solve the problem? Who will pay for that $1.4 trillion? Will the Fed just print the money? Even if they do, it's the tax payers who will have to foot the bill. So you think you're debt is forgiven? Fat chance. The government will just take it out of your $15 an hour pay check. You'll be stuck paying no matter what you do. The only way to solve the student loan problem is by reforming the whole loan architecture, and by growing the economy. Only one candidate is talking about that, and it's Donald Trump.
Only Trump is talking about school choice, about vouchers for parents to send their kids to the schools they want, that best suits their child's needs. "Voucher" and "school choice" are dirty words for leftists like Clinton, but it's mostly poor blacks who benefit. A strong majority of blacks favor vouchers, and there's real evidence that even modest assistance provides a huge benefit for kids. So why do people like Clinton oppose vouchers? Is it any surprise? Her financial backers are super racist. They want to keep blacks poor and uneducated so they can promise pie-in-the-sky programs year after year, and once they get and maintain power they deliver nothing.
Clinton represents a continuation of the policies that have failed under Bush and Obama. Trump represents the kind of change that the majority of real people want and need. When it comes to education the answer couldn't be any more obvious.
Safe Bet: Trump
When it comes to fixing the economy, providing for national security, or fixing the broken education system, the only logical choice, the only choice backed by reason and evidence is Donald Trump.
The Bush-Obama-Clinton policies have bankrupted the nation, have gotten us stuck in endless foreign wars over oil, have failed our kids, especially in the inner cities.
Clinton is the candidate of Wall Street, the military-industrial complex, the Main Stream Media, political elites in Washington from both Republican and Democratic parties, and oil sheiks from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Clinton is the candidate of ISIS and the drug cartels that traffick in sex slaves and rape women trying to cross the border. Clinton is the candidate of banker bailouts, golden parachutes, debt, and dead Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. She is the candidate who would do nothing to stop the massacre in Orlando, do nothing to help disabled veterans or the struggling poor, while showering "refugees" with benefits. Why doesn't she want the veterans who were wounded, physically and mentally, in the war she voted for to get benefits? Why doesn't she want poor blacks and Latinos to get benefits? Why invite tens of thousands of Syrians into America? Are there not enough struggling poor here already who desperately need help? Shouldn't they get help first?
So, what is at stake in the next election? The American dream is at stake. And no, that doesn't mean a return to Jim Crow or slavery, that doesn't mean taking away women's suffrage, that doesn't mean excluding Muslims and Mexicans from America. The American dream means schools that provide children with a proper education. It means school choice. It means a high school graduate can get a job in a factory that can provide for a family of five with a house and two cars. It means college graduates can get good jobs so that they can pay off their loans and won't have to stay at home with their parents forever. It means not getting entangled in pointless foreign wars where untold thousands die for the benefit of a few. It means solving the problems of crime, drugs, and the deterioration of the inner cities. It means keeping people out of prisons just because of a plant.
The American dream was alive and well before NAFTA gutted the middle class, before securing the border went from having bi-partisan support to being an "extreme far-right" position, that tens of millions of Americans support, but the out-of-touch elite in Washington despise. The American dream does not mean eliminating any of the strides we've made in civil rights, it means eliminating the civil wrongs the elite have imposed upon us: crippling debt, corruption, crime, terrorism, and endless foreign wars. That's it. Trump does not want to drag us back to the 1950s, he wants us to strive forward into the future, where we can all get under the big tent called America.
The elite hate us. The super rich globalists who know no allegiance to any nation, they are the enemy. Black, white, Indian, Latino, Chinese, gay, straight, Muslim, Christian, atheist, we're all Americans. The elite want to drive wedges between us, they want to get us at each other's throats to divide and rule. Trump wants to unite us all against the elite, who don't give a damn about you. Clinton doesn't care about you any more than she cares about the Syrian people she pretends to support so she can get her oil pipeline. Clinton doesn't care about you any more than she cares about the Haitians whose country she gutted. Clinton is bought and paid for by the elite who own this country and want to keep us poor and stupid and in perpetual debt. The elite hate you. They pull the strings. Now cut them.
When you vote, vote to give a finger to the elite. Vote to cut their strings. Vote to tear the whole corrupt system down. Vote to drain the swamp.
Vote for the American dream. Your dream. Your future, and your children's future.
Vote for Donald Trump.
As long as Caesar gave the plebs bread and circuses the masses were happy. The same is true today but with welfare and celebrities exposing themselves on television.
Haven't I been saying it? We have the worst unemployment in US history, terror attacks - whether organised or "lone wolf" - are at a terrifying level, we're hemorrhaging $4 billion per day - over $1 trillion per year - more than we have, there's more debt than money in the entire US economy, the criminal government is decapitating duly elected governments in the Muslim world and replacing them with radical barbarians from the 7th century who burn women alive in cages, throw gays off buildings, and post the videos of their rape and murder online, Iran is trying to acquire nuclear weapons, diseases that had once been eradicated like TB and measles have been reintroduced due to the gigantic flood of illegal migration, and the masses are concerned over trivial issues that concern maybe 2 million people, tops. Let's focus on the 93 million people without jobs first, then get to the 2 million people who want to use the wrong bathroom. I'm not saying let's ignore the trivially small issue, I'm saying let's focus on fixing the catastrophe first, then when we're not on the verge of total collapse, then we can deal with the trivial issue.
Issue one is the economy, stupid. Always has been, always will be, until we evolve into a post-economic system where people no longer have to pay to exist.
In 1930 there were 93 million people alive in the US, and 13 million people without jobs. In 2016 there are 350 million people alive in the US (324 million "officially" and at least 40 million here illegally, most uncounted), and 93 million people without jobs. There are more people who are not working in the US today than were alive during the Great Depression. It's that bad.
Don't let the fake "unemployment" numbers fool you, or the "120,000 jobs created last month." That's sophistry. More flashy nonsense designed to distract you from the truth. Those "jobs" that are created are temporary minimum wage jobs that only let you work 20 hours a week. Even if you had three jobs you wouldn't be able to live. And the unemployment numbers are even more deceptive. Once a person's benefits expire they are no longer counted as "unemployed" even if they haven't found a job yet. Those people exist in a state of limbo, where they're not employed but they're not "unemployed", so they are completely forgotten by everyone but the people whose lives are ruined by this disastrous system of lies. Sure, "unemployment" might be 4%, or however low they pretend it to be (4% has always been the margin of error and is, effectively, 0 unemployment), but in terms of real numbers it's over 25%. One in four working age Americans is not making enough money to survive.
I'm no "expert" but it doesn't take a genius to see the economic policies the criminal US government has been pursuing since at least 2007 are not working. In fact, they are making the situation worse year after year. Every year fewer people are working, those who are are having their hours cut, jobs are being shipped overseas, and more immigrants are flooding into the country, diluting an already ruinously low job market.
Printing money, inflating the stock market, and erasing jobs is not the way to fix the economy, it's a way to permanently destroy it.
What's the solution? We need to stop printing money and we need to bring jobs back. Take a good look at the candidates. Only one of them is not a career politician. Only one of them has even held a job, let alone created jobs. Scoffers will say that a handful of Donald Trump's businesses filed for bankruptcy, and they say this is a sign he knows nothing about business. They say this because they know absolutely nothing about business. Most businesses fail within the first ten years, and most very successful people have failed a great deal before finally succeeding. Yes, a handful of Donald Trump's businesses have failed, that's because he is a very successful business mogul who has taken a lot of risks starting a lot of businesses and failing at several of them to discover what works and what doesn't. Even great athletes fail most of the time. With great success no one remembers the failures. No one remembers the 67% of balls you missed, they only focus on the 33% you hit out of the park. But with Donald Trump the scoffers like to point out his handful of failures and say those totally negate his successes! You can make a compilation of all the shots Michael Jordan missed and think you're making him look like an idiot, but most people will recognise that you're the idiot and that Jordan was one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
Donald Trump has an estimated 500 businesses. 4 of them have gone bankrupt. That's a success rate of 99.2%! And never-Trumpers still parade those four bankruptcies around as if Trump is the worst businessman on the planet!
Scoffers also like to say he started out with tons of money he inherited and that proves he knows nothing about business. They say this because they know absolutely nothing about money. Nearly all lottery winners end up flat broke within a few years of winning. They end up worse off financially than before they won. Inheriting money does not make someone a tremendous success, it usually makes you a loser and a failure. If someone gave you $1,000 and you went and turned it into $1,000,000, then you would be very good at making money. Donald Trump turned a few million into $10 billion. He created a global business that employs tens of thousands of people, and has become one of the most famous billionaires in the world. Sure, people like Carlos Slim and Warren Buffett might be richer, but they're not celebrity billionaires. Very few billionaires are as famous as Donald Trump. He knows more about branding than most of the other billionaires combined.
Who knows more about jobs, Hitlery Roddamn Clinton – career politician, or Donald Trump – business mogul? If you had to take a gamble, would you gamble on someone who can string a bunch of pretty theoretical words together or someone who has actually created jobs? Trump has negotiated with governments all over the world, he knows what he's doing. On the other hand, Clinton's brand of negotiations led to the destabilisation of North Africa and the Near East with the Arab Spring, war in Libya, war in Syria, war in Iraq, the spread of ISIS, war in Ukraine. Donald Trump might have failed selling steaks, but Hitlery Clinton has failed completely at geopolitics, and a million lives have already been lost as a result.
No one can say whether Trump's economic plan will work. Economists said the subprime market was solvent months before it collapsed, so it's safe to say most of economics is guess work. The one thing we do know is that the Bush-Obama-Clinton economic policies have failed, and will continue to fail. A vote for Clinton is a vote for a proven track record of failure. A vote for Trump gives us at least the chance of success.
Safe Bet: Trump
Issue number two is national security. This one should be a no brainer. Ignoring the existence of Islamic terrorism has only made it worse. Every month, just about, we hear of another mass shooting somewhere. Just as one crisis ends another one flairs up with no time in between to recover.
Millions of radical Muslim "refugees" have flooded Europe, and the EU has allowed it because the white Europeans have given up on breeding and they need to import a working class to prop up the bloated welfare system. Sure, rape and murder might have skyrocketed, and thousands of years of European culture might have to be abandoned because it's haram, but that's a small price to pay to replace the European babies who were never born.
The same thing is happening in the US on a smaller scale. ISIS brags online that they are infiltrating the West with operatives who are posing as refugees. Last year FBI Director James Comey said that ISIS has cells in all 50 US states. What is anyone doing to stop them? Attempting to confiscate the guns of legal gun owners? How well did that work out in France? In France guns are close to illegal. Semi-automatic guns, the kind where you have to pull the trigger every time to make it fire, are limited to 3 round capacity. And yet all the gun restrictions in the world didn't stop ISIS terrorists from acquiring bombs and military grade guns and murdering 130 people in Paris last year. It's almost as if criminals don't obey the law!
And as all of this is happening the criminal US government won't even use the words "Islamic" and "terrorist" in the same sentence! Or else they'll try to deflect the issue and say that 99% of Muslims are good, and it's just a handful who are terrorists. Well, 1% of a million people is still ten thousand people! These people have no problem letting in thousands of would-be terrorists, all so that they don't look racialist, even though Islam is not a race, it is a set of beliefs held by people of all races on every continent.
And it's not just the radicals. What counts as "moderate" is abhorrent as well. The governments of eleven Muslim countries make homosexuality a crime punishable by death. You can't say all those countries are full of radicals. The Saudis, the Emirates, Kuwait, Yemen, Pakistan, Iran, are they all radicals? The Saudi princes are the biggest supporters of Hitlery Clinton on the planet. They live in all the comfort the Western world has to offer and drink Johnny Walker Black when no one is looking. They seem pretty moderate to me. I mean, they're not running around blowing themselves up or cutting off heads.... Actually the Saudi government beheads more people per year than ISIS does. And they're the moderates.
Clinton has taken $25 million from Saudi Arabia, a country where women are not allowed to vote, or drive, or leave the home without male supervision. A country where marital rape is legal, where child marriage is legal, where child rape is legal. A country that is funding ISIS. That's right, the same country that is funding the enemies of the US are funding Clinton as well! If any other person on the planet was connected to these people that person would not be allowed to run for president. But Clinton is above the law. She's too big to jail.
If you're a woman, or gay, or a Jew, or an atheist and you vote for Hitlery Clinton you are literally a traitor to yourself and your own best interests. Clinton is backed by the Saudi government, which murders gays, treats women as property, and imprisons anyone who is not a Sunni Muslim.
And Trump doesn't want to exclude Muslims from America. In one of the
debates he said that the Muslim community in America needs to work with
the police to find the few radicals who want to launch terror attacks.
The only way to eliminate the radicals is if people within the Muslim
community help the police identify who the radicals are. Working
together is not exclusion.
Trump's "extreme vetting" of persons
from regions that are known to harbor terrorists (Syria, Iran, Lybia),
isn't excluding Muslims either. Most Muslims will get through because
they're not terrorists. Even Clinton herself said we need "vetting that
is as tough as it needs to be." Checking someone's papers who want to
enter the United States is not an exclusion of Muslims from America any
more than Carter's suspension of visas from Iran in 1979 following the
Islamic Revolution, and his deportation of 15,000 Iranians who were
found in violation of their visas (which was upheld on First Amendment
ground in federal court).
Don't think I'm trying to lay all the blame at the feet of Islamic terrorism. There are other terrorist groups a lot closer to home. Elements within the CIA staged a coup in Ukraine a few years ago as a pretext for going to war with Russia. NATO has been expanding in Russia's near abroad for decades, and their actions have ramped up in recent years. Remember, Russia has 7,000 nuclear weapons. Total war necessarily means nuclear war, which means billions of deaths worldwide. Hitlery Clinton and all the Republicans have come out and said they want nuclear world war with Russia. Donald Trump is the only candidate who has said the only logical statement regarding Russia, that they are our natural ally against Islamic terror in the world. Russia and the Assad regime in Syria represent stabilising influences in the region. So did Gadaffi in Libya and Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Stable, secular military dictatorships all throughout the Islamic world have been eliminated one by one by the US, leading to the spread of radical Islamic groups like al Qaeda and ISIS, the breakdown of governance and the rule of law, and millions of deaths. Remember, this started with the first Clinton when he invaded Somalia for no apparent reason, and continued under Bush who destroyed Iraq at the cost of $1 trillion and thousands of American lives, and has escalated under Obama and Hitlery with their Arab Spring policy. Both parties are guilty of destroying stable governments and strengthening Islamic terrorism. Both parties have the blood of millions of innocents on their hands. Both parties want to start a war with Russia. Only Donald Trump wants to avoid war. He wants to work with Russia to defeat ISIS – who the US created, either deliberately or out of criminal negligence – and then he wants to pull out and focus on America.
Clinton is so worried about the 250,000 people in Aleppo, because only
the US is allowed to murder hundreds of thousands of civilians, no one
else. It doesn't matter that up to 1 million Iraqis, mostly civilians,
died in the war that she voted for. It doesn't matter that she wants
regime change in Syria because the elite who fund her want to build an
oil pipeline through the country, it doesn't matter that millions more
will die if Assad is eliminated, and that billions will die in nuclear
war. Clinton has to stare down Putin because he's the only one on the
planet who is resisting US aggression.
Clinton gave Russia the
uranium to build nuclear missiles capable of wiping out the United
States. 20% of US uranium was sold to Russia in a pay-to-play scheme in
exchange for Clinton Foundation "donations".
On live TV she
revealed that our response time is 4 minutes, letting them know how far
from the coast they need to park their subs to wipe us out before we
even notice the launch. 4 minutes by ballistic missile is about the
distance from the coast to Bermuda. If Russian subs are closer to the
coast than that, they can launch their missiles and destroy our cities
BEFORE our defense installations can even detect the launch. Clinton
gave the Russians knowledge on how to conduct a decapitation strike
against the US, a first strike that eliminates our ability to launch a
retaliation.
Clinton calls Putin "Hitler" and threatens to start a
war when she gets in the White House. Clinton wants to start a war with
Russia after giving them our uranium and letting them know what our
nuclear response time is. It's almost as if she wants Russia to
annihilate the US.
And securing the border? Trump wants to secure the border so we keep crime and drugs from spilling over into the United States (and by cutting the bottom out of the market, starving the drug cartels and helping Mexico out too).
Some people crossing the border are trafficking drugs. "Most of the drugs that enter the U.S. come from Central and South America."
Some people crossing the border are criminals. In a 2005 report 27% of inmates in Federal prisons were in the country illegally. Yes, that's fewer people than the native population, I don't think anyone denies that, but 49,000 people is still a lot. It would be nice if we could monitor who it is crossing the border, especially with instances of human trafficking and human rights abuse. It would be nice to cut that down, and whether that's with the Great Wall of China, a chain-link fence, or more border patrol agents, stopping human beings, including sex slaves, being smuggled over the border, even if it's only a few thousand, is a good idea.
Drug cartels are using rape as a weapon on the border. From Latina.com:
"From beheading to kidnappings, there seems to be no limit to what the Mexican drug cartels are willing to do to assert their dominance—and they deal not only in drugs, but also in humans. The majority of the coyotes who help undocumented immigrants cross the border are affiliated with the cartels.
Although many politicians would like to believe that the violence will stay to the south of the border, the reality is that it has already begun to affect South Western states. The revelation that Phoenix is now the “kidnapping capital” of the United States only affirms what many residents already believe.
Now, a new method of marking territory has crossed over into the United States. “Rape trees” are popping up in Southern Arizona and their significance is horrific. These “rape trees” are places where cartel members and coyotes rape female border crossers and hang their clothes, specifically undergarments, to mark their conquest."
What is a rape tree:
"Rape trees are trees or bushes that mark where sexual assaults have occurred by arranging the victim's undergarments on or around the trees branches or on the ground. "Rape trees" are commonly and increasingly found along the United States and Mexico borders as illegal immigration grows. Immigrant females are particularly at risk of being assaulted by the typically male "coyotes" that illegally guide them through the border area. Violent crimes including rape are rarely reported as the victims fear they may be deported after coming forward. Women often seek out birth control methods to prevent pregnancy from anticipated sexual assaults. The marked trees serve to intimidate both the illegal immigrants being guided, as well as local citizens, that the human traffickers are willing and able to commit acts of violence to gain compliance from victims and deter potential witnesses or rescuers."
Sure would be nice to put a stop to that. Bill Clinton thought so too 20 years ago, as did most Republicans and Democrats. Trump doesn't want to get rid of Mexicans, he wants to put a stop to human trafficking and cut off the flow of drugs into the US, and to do that we need to secure the border.
What does Clinton think of securing the border? She wants to leave it wide open. She wants to increase the influx of "refugees" (from the war she created!) by 500% over what we are taking in now. She wants amnesty for millions of illegals, because they are her voter base. Granting them all citizenship will guarantee so many Democrat votes that it will be impossible to hold a free and fair election again. She will have imported so many knee-jerk voters that no amount of reason and evidence will ever prevail against 30 million guaranteed Democrats.
If you like your democracy you can keep it.
The evidence is clear, only a fool, or an arms manufacturer, would think that the candidate who
promises to go to war is the safer alternative to the candidate who
promises to negotiate to keep us out of war. What happened to the anti-war movement under Bush? Did it just evaporate like morning dew? The truth is they were anti-Republicans, not anti-war. It doesn't matter if Obama kills twice as many Americans in Afghanistan than Bush did, and not a peep. Obama launches air-strikes in seven countries, not a peep. Obama brags about how he's "Really good at killing people," not a fucking peep. As long as a Democrat is killing people the supposed anti-war movement does not care.
The choice could not be any more obvious.
Safe Bet: Trump.
And last, but certainly not least, education.
It should be obvious to anyone willing to examine the evidence, that the US has the worst education system in the developed world. The United States ranks behind Russia, Slovenia, Australia, Estonia, Vietnam, Canada, Poland, and China, to name a few. Is that any surprise? If you've been getting your news from a TV comedian it probably is. If you've been to a store and you see the kid behind the counter doesn't know how to make change, or even how to push the button to change an order, you know this is a major problem.
You already know about the clutural Marxism that has infested academia. You know about "safe spaces", "trigger warnings", and Marxists censoring the free speech of tenured professors. You know that academia is run by authoritarians who care more about hurt feelings than facts, and who believe that producing emotionally-stunted adults who act like children is all that matters.
But let's take a step back. What about the wonderful public school system? High school graduation rates are at the highest they've ever been! That's because dumb kids are being pushed through like cattle to the slaughter and programs for smart kids are being cut so the dumb kids don't feel bad for being excluded.
26% of high school graduates are below the basic reading level. This means these kids do not have the
skills necessary to perform simple and everyday literacy activities. One quarter of all high school graduates are functionally illiterate! In 1979 only 1% of graduates were illiterate, and now it's 26% thanks to "outcome-based education." Worse still, 19% of high school graduates can't read AT ALL! One in five graduates cannot read their own name.
Remember Bush's "No Child Left Behind Act"? And it's gotten worse under Common Core, where getting the correct answer is wrong unless you use all your fingers and your toes to count by ones!
The schools have failed a significant percentage of kids. People with no education and no skills, mostly poor urban blacks and Latinos, often can't get a job (see above), and in order to make money just to survive turn to crime. They turn to crime, they turn to drugs, and then they run afoul of the police. They go to prison, they die in gangland shootings, or they die in standoffs with the police. The horrible state of public education in America, combined with economic policies that ship jobs overseas, are creating the crime that is devastating minority communities. Blacks and Latinos who vote for the Bush-Obama-Clinton policies are literally voting for their own poverty and inner city violence. If black lives really mattered, if you really want police shootings to stop, you need to solve the root causes of the problem, which means fixing the economy, fixing the schools, and securing the border. And that means voting for Trump.
Not only has public school failed the children (precisely because children are not allowed to fail or be held back), but college has failed them as well. Student loan debt in the US is at $1.4 trillion! And, unlike other forms of debt, student loan debt cannot be erased through bankruptcy. It is stuck with you until you die. College tuition rates are soaring, and students are graduating with worthless degrees in gender studies or critical theory. College graduates are saddled with, on average $37,000 of debt, which at minimum wage, working 20 hours a week, minus tax, can be paid off in only 6 years, assuming you don't have to eat, or pay rent, or car insurance, or buy gas or food. And God help you if you get sick or injured. With ObamaCare deductibles at $6,000 per year, if you're lucky, you'll be paying all your doctor bills out of pocket, plus your premiums, unless you want to pay the penalty (that's totally not a tax, unless it is, depending on what bullshit the Supreme Court is using to justify the law).
And no, a $15 minimum wage won't help either. College graduates are already competing for minimum wage jobs, for which they are over-qualified, with older people who can't afford to retire, high school kids who can't read, and illegal aliens who can be paid under the table for less. The only thing a $15 minimum wage, a minimum wage well below a living wage, will do is force even more young people out of the labor market and, if they're lucky, onto welfare, and, if they're unlucky, into a life of crime. And it's mostly poor blacks and Latinos who are hurt by these failed Bush-Obama-Clinton policies.
Neither will forgiving student loan debt solve the problem? Who will pay for that $1.4 trillion? Will the Fed just print the money? Even if they do, it's the tax payers who will have to foot the bill. So you think you're debt is forgiven? Fat chance. The government will just take it out of your $15 an hour pay check. You'll be stuck paying no matter what you do. The only way to solve the student loan problem is by reforming the whole loan architecture, and by growing the economy. Only one candidate is talking about that, and it's Donald Trump.
Only Trump is talking about school choice, about vouchers for parents to send their kids to the schools they want, that best suits their child's needs. "Voucher" and "school choice" are dirty words for leftists like Clinton, but it's mostly poor blacks who benefit. A strong majority of blacks favor vouchers, and there's real evidence that even modest assistance provides a huge benefit for kids. So why do people like Clinton oppose vouchers? Is it any surprise? Her financial backers are super racist. They want to keep blacks poor and uneducated so they can promise pie-in-the-sky programs year after year, and once they get and maintain power they deliver nothing.
Clinton represents a continuation of the policies that have failed under Bush and Obama. Trump represents the kind of change that the majority of real people want and need. When it comes to education the answer couldn't be any more obvious.
Safe Bet: Trump
When it comes to fixing the economy, providing for national security, or fixing the broken education system, the only logical choice, the only choice backed by reason and evidence is Donald Trump.
The Bush-Obama-Clinton policies have bankrupted the nation, have gotten us stuck in endless foreign wars over oil, have failed our kids, especially in the inner cities.
Clinton is the candidate of Wall Street, the military-industrial complex, the Main Stream Media, political elites in Washington from both Republican and Democratic parties, and oil sheiks from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Clinton is the candidate of ISIS and the drug cartels that traffick in sex slaves and rape women trying to cross the border. Clinton is the candidate of banker bailouts, golden parachutes, debt, and dead Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. She is the candidate who would do nothing to stop the massacre in Orlando, do nothing to help disabled veterans or the struggling poor, while showering "refugees" with benefits. Why doesn't she want the veterans who were wounded, physically and mentally, in the war she voted for to get benefits? Why doesn't she want poor blacks and Latinos to get benefits? Why invite tens of thousands of Syrians into America? Are there not enough struggling poor here already who desperately need help? Shouldn't they get help first?
So, what is at stake in the next election? The American dream is at stake. And no, that doesn't mean a return to Jim Crow or slavery, that doesn't mean taking away women's suffrage, that doesn't mean excluding Muslims and Mexicans from America. The American dream means schools that provide children with a proper education. It means school choice. It means a high school graduate can get a job in a factory that can provide for a family of five with a house and two cars. It means college graduates can get good jobs so that they can pay off their loans and won't have to stay at home with their parents forever. It means not getting entangled in pointless foreign wars where untold thousands die for the benefit of a few. It means solving the problems of crime, drugs, and the deterioration of the inner cities. It means keeping people out of prisons just because of a plant.
The American dream was alive and well before NAFTA gutted the middle class, before securing the border went from having bi-partisan support to being an "extreme far-right" position, that tens of millions of Americans support, but the out-of-touch elite in Washington despise. The American dream does not mean eliminating any of the strides we've made in civil rights, it means eliminating the civil wrongs the elite have imposed upon us: crippling debt, corruption, crime, terrorism, and endless foreign wars. That's it. Trump does not want to drag us back to the 1950s, he wants us to strive forward into the future, where we can all get under the big tent called America.
The elite hate us. The super rich globalists who know no allegiance to any nation, they are the enemy. Black, white, Indian, Latino, Chinese, gay, straight, Muslim, Christian, atheist, we're all Americans. The elite want to drive wedges between us, they want to get us at each other's throats to divide and rule. Trump wants to unite us all against the elite, who don't give a damn about you. Clinton doesn't care about you any more than she cares about the Syrian people she pretends to support so she can get her oil pipeline. Clinton doesn't care about you any more than she cares about the Haitians whose country she gutted. Clinton is bought and paid for by the elite who own this country and want to keep us poor and stupid and in perpetual debt. The elite hate you. They pull the strings. Now cut them.
When you vote, vote to give a finger to the elite. Vote to cut their strings. Vote to tear the whole corrupt system down. Vote to drain the swamp.
Vote for the American dream. Your dream. Your future, and your children's future.
Vote for Donald Trump.

NATO Delenda Est
Over the years, since 2002, I've intensely studied the First World War, and what we're seeing right now is a repeat of August 1914.
A century ago millions of men died for absolutely nothing, and millions more would survive with their minds and bodies destroyed. A world that had been stable for 40 years, where conflict between the great powers seemed impossible, was overturned, resulting in the rise of fascism and communism, and, ultimately, the death of an additional 150-200 million people over the 20th century.
There was no reason to fight the war. There was nothing to be gained and everything to be lost. And it all started because of the byzantine system of alliances the great powers had entangled themselves in. These alliances seemed to them to mark the end of all war, as war with any one member state would mean war with the whole world, and no rational person would want that. But, in truth, that system of alliances is what dragged the whole world into the war, turning a small regional conflict, no, a small regional incident, into a four year long meat grinder.
We find ourselves today in the same situation. NATO has 28 member states, including the world's only superpower, the United States, along with Britain, France, and some unstable places like Turkey and Albania. Just like those 1914 alliances, an attack on one member state necessitates war for all 28 members, guaranteeing that any regional disturbance will blow up into global war.
Pundits will assure the plebs that such an alliance is a safeguard against all future wars, but they're lying, just like the pundits of a century ago.
If Estonia is invaded, and at this point there is absolutely no evidence that Russia has any designs on the Baltic, that would drag the US into nuclear war with Russia. Nuclear war means death for the majority of people on the planet. Tell me, are you willing to die for Estonia? Are you willing to murder 5 billion people for Estonia? Because I'm not. And even though Russia has no intention of invading, it is the easiest thing in the world for some NATO guys in fake Russian uniforms to kill a few border guards in a false flag attack and spark a war if the neocons wanted one.
NATO was established to counter the Warsaw Pact, a similar alliance involving the Soviet Union and other eastern European communist states. The Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union are long gone. The Cold War is over, and all the cold warriors are approaching their 70s and 80s. Are you, young men, willing to die in some old man's war? Are you, young women, willing to die because some octogenarians want to stroke their egos one last time?
The recent coup attempt in Turkey and their brazen acts of shooting Russian jets should make clear to all rational people that NATO represents an existential threat to the continued existence of humanity on this planet. NATO is a ticking time bomb that, when it goes off, will start nuclear war.
Donald Trump was absolutely correct. NATO is not only obsolete, it is a suicide pact and it should be dissolved.
