The Financial/Political Perspective of the Ukraine War

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnut-E_eEM0

The link above is to a discussion by Col MacGregor about the real impetus for intervening in the Russian/Ukraine conflict. Remember that the present government in Ukraine was installed by the US and its allies about 14 years ago. Ever since the Vietnam War, we've regularly engaged in military interventions that were at best sketchy. 

Colin Powell was pressured to agree to intervention in Iraq and Iran leading to the rise of ISIS , whose depredations continue to this day. Barack Obama's incredibly inept handling of the military campaign in the Mideast is killing American military members to this very day. All the conflicts from Vietnam to today were not required but were beneficial to the infamous Military/Industrial/Financial complex and government bureaucrats. Most if not all the politicians in the Federal Government have one overarching goal; stay in office. This requires groveling at the feet of political donors and implementing policies beneficial to them, 

The original motivation for an undeclared war against Puitin's Russia is relatively straightforward. Russia has a lot of minerals, oil, and other resources that the West needs. With the inefficiency of the old Soviet Union and the fractured ineffectual states that fell out of its collapse, the West and its far more efficient industrial complex was able to insert their interests and new companies into the mix and gain both access to new markets and sources for raw material not previously available. Putins neo-nationalist movement threatened that. lucrative market and was not to be tolerated. Welcome to Cold Was 2.0. 

This is not a one party construct, its support is across the political spectrum, via the financial industry that supports and controls most all politicians. The Democrats are more vocal about getting us into another "war" because the domestic debacle created by the acutely inept administration currently in power is damaging the careers of many aspiring Democrats. If you can't successfully run the country, you need to divert attention, preferably outside the country. It's unfortunate that we as a people are so gullible as to fall for this ploy, again and again and again. 

I suggest you listen very closely to Col MacGregor's discussion and weigh his considered position before you lend support to your local warmongering politician. Think, don't emote. Nothing is more of an impediment to politicians running roughshod over our population than an informed and thoughtful populace. They really hate that. Therefore, it is in your (and my) best interest for us all to do so. Get the facts, understand what the man behind the curtain is doing, and act accordingly. 

If you think the Chinese Spy balloon was the important story, welcome to Gaslit America! You're being gaslighted.

Welcome to Gaslit America, home of the diverted, land of the misdirected, not exactly free anymore. We have been pummeled with pictures and stories about "The Balloon", which strangely, was allowed to transverse the US, passing multiple military bases, important communication hubs, and missile silos, just to name a few of the juicy intel targets Biden allowed this spy balloon to observe sans interference. Why?

The short answer is that Pete Buttigieg, Sec of Transportation has one and only one qualification. In his own words "remember, I'm gay". Biden wanted a cabinet full of "diversity" not "talent" , not "experience" but "diversity". This trainwreck (the cabinet this time, not the actual wreck) contains a man dressed like a woman (an ugly one) called Rachel. She/it/whatever is in charge of public health. You can't make this stuff up, seriously. Ol' Pete the Rump Wrangler is among the menagerie of macabre and perverse characters inhabiting the top office cabinet. His ineptitude would be a major (bad) story for the press to bring to light, only, he's gay, and thus protected from responsibility. So, there has to be a "Wag the Dog" scenario requiring some kind of diversion. Enter Chinese Balloon Stage Left and we are all focused elsewhere than the deadly toxic spill in East Palestine Ohio. Another slick move by your friendly neighborhood Democrats. 

As the wise commentator Mike Knowles put it; I'm mildly interested in a story about a Chinese spy balloon, but aliens aren't real; vinyl chloride is very real. Now you know. 

The Democrats are trying to use J6 as a diversion. Even in this, they are ignoring the murder of an unarmed woman by police. How quaint.

 

The best way to deal with a situation you have no idea how to deal with is, of course, a diversion of attention away from that situation. The Democrats, who portray themselves as champions of women's rights, find themselves in the ironic position of ignoring the murder of a women, thankfully a white woman, unarmed, shot by police. How did this come about? 

The failed policies of the left have done tremendous damage to our economy and our country, going from prosperity to impending recession, runaway inflation, uncontrolled invasion across our southern border, gay grooming of our kids in school, black supremacy apartheid movement taking over neighborhoods in Seattle and forcing whites to pay "reparation" to get to their homes in the occupied areas. Latino gangs like MS13 slaughter and torture teens without consequence and violent criminals are released to the streets by leftist DAs. Inflation and national debt have taken us from leadership in the world economy to near 3rd world shithole status. 

All this requires some real leadership to deal with. The Democrat's best shot at that is an ex-hooker and a crooked demented pedophile,. who are both not only morally bereft but ethically inept and corrupt as well as totally inept. The Dems have nothing to put on the table; the mantra has been "green energy" and J6 is the real concern. Nope, not at all, in fact, these are not even mildly important. Even the concern about J6 SHOULD be the fact that an unarmed woman was gunned down while exercising her Constitutional right to address the government for a redress of grievances. In the summer prior to the J6 "insurgency" BLM/Antifa terror squads burned businesses, pulled drivers out of cars, beat them senseless, and burned cars. On J6, no buildings or cars burned, and no neighborhoods or police stations were taken over and held for ransom. Yet, J6 is a cause celebre and cause for spending millions of tax dollars on hearings, investigation, and other such bovine droppings. The Democrats completely ignore the actual problems they SHOULD have been addressing. 

Our schools have been lying to and even obstructing parental right for the sake of the LGBTQ agenda and to indoctrinate a new generation of sexually mutilated teens, so traumatized and mixed up they have allowed themselves to be poisoned by the illegal use of hormones and have their bodies mutilated forever by completely unnecessary and later regretted sex transition surgeries. All against the parental will and without the permission of the parents whose tax money runs the very schools this is happening within. Talk about a de facto police state. 

With all this going on, the Democrats continue to gaslight the population just to keep their political agenda alive, even in complete failure. This is what an authoritarian government looks like. 18984 was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a "how-to" book. We need to vote all leftist influence out in 2024 and reverse this decline into chaos. 

Another day in the libverse: Scientific truth is "Hate Spech" according to Twitter.

 One can only imagine what the world would look like if the truth is not only suppressed, but one is punished for speaking/writing the truth. Or if you want to experience it, go on Twitter. If you state publicly that, emphatically, there are only 2 genders; XY-male and XX-female, you are making hate speech. OTOH,because the narrative for the left says it is OK, you can spout false nonsense that poses as "climate" science, which we all must worship, even though it's track record of reliability and reproducibility is sketchy at best. 

I am on (another) vacation from Twitter because I said it is wrong to allow teachers to groom children for gender fluidity, especially when they are also hiding their antics from the parents of said children ( the ones whose taxes pay the bills for that public "education") and in some cases, refusing to allow the parents to even see what their children are being taught. This is going on in a vast number of school districts where the board is dominated by liberals. This is certainly not a coincidence, as liberals do not think (no pun that) but rather they emote, and (by force if necessary)want to require everyone to agree with them, even if their ideas are both dangerous and completely void of reality. 

If a person's mental state is not one in which they can accept reality as is, but must make those around them agree (again by force if necessary) to their subjective perception of reality instead, they are dangerous schizophrenics. This is universally true, but liberals try to do it almost daily. Allowing adolescent boys into girl's bathrooms unattended because they "think' they "might" be females, and to not realize the danger posed to young girls by this decision, is sheer madness. Then school boards in Virginia (Louden county, for instance) reacted to the horrible fallout when a girl is raped in her bathroom by a "boy in a skirt" by literally ignoring the report, an overtly criminal act. All because liberal fantasies must be held sacrosanct, no matter who is harmed by them. 

Leftist policies are openly committed to two very evil crimes; defacto ethnic cleansing of Euro culture via the flood of expatriot latinos into our country and secondly, the oppression of the majority of the country by a group comprising 14% of the total population, the black community. Per Capita, blacks commit more violent crime than any other group, followed closely by illegal aliens, who are 3x more likely to commit violent crimes than a resident citizen. While this is published data, to speak about it constitutes "hate speech". When "1984" was written, it was considered a frightening cautionary tale, however the Democrats seem to have adopted it as their political platform. And so it goes.

A Word on Bigotry

 Some of the worst bigotry I have seen comes from minorities. When I was a boy, going to junior High School in Dade County Florida, I lived on Homestead AFB where my dad was stationed. Well, some highly astute legal mind judge decided it would be a swift idea to bus the mostly white kids from the base to a black school in a black neighborhood. It was not pretty and there were lots of incidents. One I remember very well was at the end of the day when we were all getting on the bus to go home. The black adults in the black neighborhood lined the streets and stoned the bus with bricks as they drove by. One came through a bus window and hit the kid in front of me in the side of his head. It landed flat so it did not kill him but it knocked him out and there was blood everywhere on that bus. Now roll that around in your head for a minute, that's adults, stoning children on a school bus. Pure animal hate. There is bigotry and racism on all sides and some of the worst I've seen comes out of minorities that think they are entitled to be pissed because some liberal politician told them so.

We need to understand that the well designed propaganda on CNN,NBC,ABC,et al. is just that, propaganda. It is designed, not to inform, not to educate, but to indoctrinate. Liberals do not care about truth, nor even reality. They want to dictate to everyone what to believe and how to think. I have said before that I believe the Left actually thinks the novel's dystopian authoritarian society in 1984 is a good idea.

I also believe that they would be the first ones howling in despair if they actually got what they think they want. The liberal core belief is that we, the people, cannot and will not make proper or moral decisions on our own, and that an intrusive and powerful central government is necessary to make us do the right thing. Unfortunately, the "right thing" for the government is exactly that, for the government, not the governed. One need only look to the UK today, post disarming its citizens, falling into recession and in some cases brutally suppressing any meaningful resistance to governmental policies. An elderly woman was tackled and handcuffed by police for "improperly" wearing a mask. Really ?

A nominally "free" country is no longer free when its citizens no longer have the means to resist by lethal force if necessary, governmental oppression. This was powerfully demonstrated by the incident where a group of ranchers armed with AR15s turned back a posse of federal Marshalls trying to illegally take a farmer's herd of cattle. A federal judge later agreed that their actions were proper and strongly condemned the actions of the federal Marshalls.

Also remember that the only buildings to survive the Watts riots were guarded by civilians armed with AR15s. Objective reality and recent history show that the idea of restricting semiautomatic firearms is both wrong and dangerous to our freedoms. Take away the guns and the government can take away anything they want to, and they will do so.

Comments from a wise friend, I hope you'll read this and think about it.

Gary Gobel is a good friend from 50 years now. In all that time, I have never felt him to be anything but a levelheaded and intelligent, along with astute, individual. Even if we weren't friends I would admire him. He was a Karate student of mine, the tall guy in the center.

I have great respect for Israel and anytime one of her unfriendly neighbors have tried to take that powerhouse on, they have had their butts handed to them. I have never understood antisemitism, it seems just illogical and cruel to me.

That said, you are a free American Citizen, and you can donate to and even go fight for Ukraine or Israel, just leave our government out of it. 

Further, the largest foreign lobby in our government is the Israeli lobby that funds pro-Israel candidates and works against anyone campaigning for office that is not an Israeli supporter.....this is done in our representative republic. I have an issue with that as such foreign lobbies, in my opinion, should be illegal in this country. This is our government, our tax revenue, our armed forces and NOT theirs. Period and unless there is an American Lobby in their government I have not heard of,  it needs to stop now.

The Camp David Accords of 1978: "Notably, the treaty that resulted from the second “framework” also called for the United States to provide both countries with billions in annual subsidies, including military aid. Under the terms negotiated, Egypt receives $1.3 billion annually in military aid from the United States, while Israel receives $3 billion".............this is the only reference that I could find on line now regarding US payments but previously I found that the payments were $1.8 billion annually to each or a $3.6 billion a year since 1978. That tax revenue (45 years at $3.6 billion came to $162 billion) would have upgraded a whole lot of stuff in this country and there is no peace in Palestine.

Further, if any nation on this planet owes a debt to Israel, it's Germany and not us. You see Germany defending Israel?

Idaho Murders Point out that "it's the criminal, not the weapon, stupid!"

 https://www.foxnews.com/media/nancy-grace-dissects-revelations-idaho-murders-suspect-went-intent-kill

The above misguided article focuses on the statements made by the alleged murderer when he was arrested. What everyone conveniently misses routinely is that the focus is on the weapon, not the criminals. The left wants to give a pass to criminals and prosecute the weapon, preferably a gun. The damnable leftist narrative is obscuring the real problem. 

We are faced with a mental health crisis and we have our collective head in the sand. The HIPPA laws, originally designed to promote efficient sharing of medical information, have instead allowed equally misguided leftist activists to shield criminals from justice. Also, it is practically impossible to intervene to stop an obviously dangerous juvenile from killing people. This is both dangerous and unnecessary. While everyone acknowledges it to be true, nobody wants to buck the system or defy the narrative and do something about it. Stupid is as stupid does. 

The solution is simple. We stop pretending there is a problem. We hold everyone to the same standards. If a mentally ill person is competent to be on their own in society, they are subject to as strict enforcement and scrutiny as anyone else. In juveniles, we must realize that the safety of the society trumps confidentiality. Period, end of discussion. If a child is dangerous, that child should fall under the same strictures as a violent felon or sex offender. Dangerous people should be under public scrutiny, institutionalized, or both. If any person willfully allows a dangerous child to be allowed to hide behind confidentiality, they are as guilty of the crime done by that child as the perpetrator is, and should face severe criminal penalties. Period, end of discussion.

Any DA who allows known dangerous criminals to go free should face felony charges if that individual harms another person. All prison sentences should be done in solitary confinement. Prisons should not be cages for gay rape or gang havens. Every prisoner is someone who does not belong in society and should be completely isolated for the duration of their sentence. The recidivism rate would drop precipitously and self  rehabilitation would become the norm. Simply rational. 

There is no quicker way to a police state than the policies and agenda of the Left. Unbridled crime and lack of civic training and responsiblilty for our youth create a weak population, afraid to defend themselves and dependent on an increasingly corrupt government. This devolves inevitably into a police state. The anti-2nd amendment activities of the left are the first steps into a police state. No totalitarian state ever thrived in the face of an armed and trained citizenry. This is simple historical fact.

Armed and trained citizens are the first line defense against any governmentaley oppression and against crime and violence. Law enforcement departments are constabularies. They have one and only one mandate: maintain public order. The only on site defense against crime is the armed and trained citizen. Police arrive after the crime, bag bodies, take reports and investigate. Nothing they do or can do protects us from being victims. It is the armed citizen who stops or prevents crime.

Armed guards and teachers can and have prevented mass shootings at schools; armed citizens are the only ones who have successfully prevented mass public or church shootings. Armed and trained citizens save lives and stop crime, period, end of story. No anti gun law has ever been shown to decrease violent crime, only to take away the sole effective protection against violence ever shown to work. Prosecuting an inanimate object is insane, and not focusing on the criminal is in itself criminal.
