  1. NIKE sees an opportunity to make money. Simple as that. You can't claim the moral high ground while producing shoes in a sweatshop.

  2. John McCain, just 10 short years ago — in the summer of 2008 — he was the worst scoundrel who ever lived, a warmonger, a white supremacist, a Nazi, the worst Nazi since Adolf Hitler and a schemer who would plunge us into a world war as soon as he was sworn in.

    Now a decade later he is the conscience of the Senate, a peacemaker, a paragon of American virtue.

    What a turnaround!

      It's all just to try and embarrass and piss off Trump - silly games.

      President Reagan got a much bigger show....they hated him too.

  3. Shortly after the financial denouement those in seats of power might come to realize that the millions of idle hands are a liability, not an asset to the system as a whole, UNLESS, of course there is a group in power that depends on the idle hands as its power base (as has happened in Venezuela). Then, in either instance, things will get really interesting.
  4. Beyond the understanding of MSM advocates, Republican and Democrats are all the same. The national debt keeps going regardless who is in power even Trump. The machine cannot be stopped and they do not want anyone from the outside looking in. This is NOT about Trump and if he lied, had sex with 3 women at the same time, or cheated on his taxes. This is about protecting the ESTABLISHMENT and most people are just easily manipulated so they actually think this is about justice and Trump. This is about taking the government back into the hand of those in Washington.
  5. Keep you eyes peeled for an interruption in the food supply chain. If that ever happens then you will know what is just around the block.

      Wow....it's happening sooner than I thought.

  6. Well Mr. Xul, I think the base forces which all of the power hungry, regardless of political stripes are attempting to invoke, remind me of Dr. Frankenstein’s monster. Or maybe some creation from the Island of Dr. Moreau. Our national pollical system is being run by mad scientists. Even Bernie Sanders, who was seen in the 2016 run as an independent voice, has given up his “revolution”. If you’ve seen his recent interviews, they are sad. The guy sounds completely defeated. I don’t know if Nancy Pelosi put on her belly dancing outfit and svengalied the poor guy, or what. It’s like somebody got to Bernie and turned him into another brick of establishment DC.
  7. Yes our standards of living are all dropping and distracting the herd from this fact is a necessity in order to compel us all to keep working harder and harder to maintain what lifestyles we can continue to have. Once all hope is lost, the real problems start. They will milk it all as long as possible and then stand back and what the shit hit the fan.
  8. Do you think it will be a credit collapse? Just wait until the banks do a ‘bail-in’ – the shit will definitely hit the fan. Fun times await. Does anyone have enough popcorn on hand?
  9. Here's the latest on this case. 4 suspects have been charged. https://globalnews.ca/news/4422046/four-men-face-slew-of-charges-after-rcmp-officer-shooting-in-onanole-man/
  10. Rural property crime is a major problem on the prairies. This looks to be the case in this situation in which an RCMP officer was shot while responding to a call in rural Manitoba. Luckily the shot was not fatal and the officer will survive. It seems like this is a small resort style town on the edge of a national park. Not many details on the suspects have been released. I feel for people in rural areas who are vulnerable and often don't have quick responses from police due to vast areas police are responsible for. Urban elites maybe don't realize that police response is not instant on the prairies. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/rcmp-manhunt-underway-for-armed-and-dangerous-suspects-in-western-manitoba-492058991.html
  11. Is anyone aware that NATO has been staging war games on Russia’s border the past several years?

      Russia holds military exercises right up next to the border of NATO countries. Do you have a problem with that? The NATO exercises in Poland and the Baltic states only have a few thousand NATO troops involved. I doubt the Russians fear they're going to invade.

  12. The idea that economy is based on a system of objective “scientific” laws, completely independent of human morality and spirituality, failed to pass the history tests.
  13. Trump’s trade war is a serious threat to the dollar reserve currency regime. The system was designed to run on permanent deficits.
  14. Africa is Lord of the Flies at a continental scale.

  15. Germany relying on Russian Gazprom for natural gas. Helps that former chancellor is CEO. Bad Russia, but let's give them billions.
