  1. But you have plenty to learn. People that support the Left are busy chasing mirages be they washrooms or statues or whatever. Many are useful idiots. But what they chase are all mirages designed to blind people to the fact that they are being robbed and the country is being looted. Leaders of the Left are bought out by the Oligarchs and are fully on board with the globalist agenda of exploitation of 3rd world labor. This exploitation is done either by offshoring American industry or by on-shoring impoverished and desperate 3rd world workers. Leftist leaders denigrate objectors as either racists or idiots too dumb to adapt to changing times. This is to say that leaders of the Left are not Leftist. They are in the employ of Globalist-Oligarchs.
  2. Ahhh...multiculturalism. A word splashed all over the walls of every public school in Canada....making impressionable children think it's something fabulous. It’s funny, because most of the upper class twits that support all this multiculturalism non-sense have the luxury of never actually being exposed to any of it behind the walls of their gated enclaves. All of which they’ve earned through the “magic” of compound interest, where their ill-gotten gains go to work for them, and combined with YUGE! tax breaks and corporate lawyer shenanigans, allow them to live a life of idle luxury for doing absolutely nothing, other than spouting large volumes of pseudo-intellectual quasi-academic hot air. Monty Python was all over this decades ago:
  3. Far left democratic mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emmanual, doesn't mind making a great living collecting his salary on public dollars. Yet he cuts close to 1000 public school employees while sending his kids to private schools. The hypocrisy of the left is rich. It's too bad CNN and MSNBC don't focus on real issues.
  4. You are falling hook, line, and sinker for how the oligarchs want you to think. Please wise up and leave the boring sarcasm at the door and try to understand the system that controls you. Globalist-Oligarchs are a handful in number. Do they conspire? You bet they do. Plus they lobby governments for favorable legislation and trade agreements, they contribute to politicians, they buy them and sell them like cattle. The objective was to put in place and maintain a multi-national regime to safe-guard multi-national investments and supply lines. This means moving factories and jobs to China and Mexico and India. Trade agreements and the WTO didn’t get there by happenstance. As for names, for starters look to Hillary’s donor lists. Look to who goes to the Davos get-togethers. Look to the people that control the Fortune 500. There are people in that set that make no bones about it, they call themselves “globalist”. There are publications like Economist Magazine that shill for them. The greatly enlightened bi-coastal clerisy that administer this system call themselves “cosmopolitan”. They pretend that nation-states are so yesterday, that nations are the preserve of imbeciles. They’ll find out in the fullness of time that they are wrong. They’ll learn that nations provide what they need to survive. But for the present, they act on behalf of their masters and they call the shots. I lived my life in the belly of the corporate world. I’ve seen entire departments of skilled white-collar workers get the boots because their work was sent to India. I’ve seen people go to India to train their replacements. They do this to not get a reputation as a whiner. You’re supposed to swallow whatever shit they dole out without complaint. You want to be able to get another job. You want no problems with getting your severance payment. You want a good reference. The Oligarchs know what they’re doing and they don’t. They’ve set up a global system of production and consumption for their own wealth and income but that is unworkable, that is upright only for the time being because of central bank and government treasury interventions. For now the Globalist set have massively increased their wealth. It has to be noted that it was at the expense of a huge multitude of American workers. But this is not sustainable because the economy they’re created is not sustainable. 20 trillion in US federal debt is testament to this, the present day policy of NIRP and ZIRP is also, ever lengthening terms for auto leases is also. There are many indicators. All these are methamphetamine and crack-cocaine for the financial system. Financial markets are the overlay to the real economy. If the real economy doesn’t work, then neither do financial markets.
  5. The decline of the United States of America began long ago. In the late 19th century and early 20th century immigrants were needed for labor. They were needed to replace generations of Americans lost in the Civil War, and their lost potential progeny. A divided nation, then 2 nations, and finally one disappearing nation. What we have today is a country that’s only sources of unification are the long and deep tentacles of the state that can barely keep things together, and a depressingly banal commonality in consumption patterns, e.g., NB/NFL jerseys, iPhones, Papa John’s pizza, Crocs, Justin Timberlake downloads, Disneyworld vacations, New Era caps, advertising events masquerading as football games (NFL), and on and on. There are simply no profound bonds. No national patrimony. No hereditary bonds. Fewer and Fewer care about the nation, its institutions, its binding document, its experiment as an independent nation escaped from the clutches of both king and church, and centralized governments, and European designs. We have a country populated by comfortable imbeciles. I share no blood, no history, no ideas, no love, and no care for a great many of them. Neither they with me. The state will do everything to keep the ship steady. To force people to believe that they are one, that they must share the same ideas. I’m apathetic, I just want it all to go away. It’s a lost cause. No dignity in pretending otherwise.
  6. Soon Antifa will be conducting ‘workshops’ on racism … there will hugging sessions, laying of wreaths, singing ‘We Shall Overcome’ and ‘The International’, brotherhood and peace seminars, and the taking of names of those who DO NOT PARTICIPATE.

  7. Maybe do a little more research before shrugging your shoulders indicating ignorance.
  8. This is all a distraction. It's meaningless. Distractions is what those in control want...wouldn't want the proles to know what is really going on, do we?
  9. Your time and effort in response is to be commended. I do have some further points, and I'm not always politically correct. I believe 95% of people are unaware of what is really going on...more concerned with pop culture, sports, and marijuana legalization. The question I posed is more than valid. It goes directly to the heart of the debate about Confederate statues and their placement and or removal from the public space in the U.S.A. Particularly as it relates to the capital of the nation; a very special administrative district that is called the District of Columbia. The existence of the monument to this Confederate general, being in an outdoor venue in the Federal capital, is perplexing to say the least; that is unless one knows of the esoteric value of good old Albert Pike. He also happens to be buried in the crypt of the House of the Temple Masonic building that exists in a special place in the grid of D.C. as laid out by Pierre L’Enfant. Quite curious stuff – check it out for yourself… No one will be taking down his statue, and his bones will not be disinterred from the Masonic H.Q., ( at least not while the corporate United States of America is in existence.) Martial law would be declared first, should it be in danger, and I believe trespassers would be shot on sight. Maybe Americans should demand the Trotskyites over at Southern Poverty Law, Black Lives Matter, or Antifa to give it a whirl. They would probably wind up on a one-way flight to the Amazon basin for a very extended holiday.
  10. I wonder if the Black Block/Antifa goons will lay a beating on the fallen statue of Pike?
  11. Not both. Democrats have let down the poor blacks they pretend to represent. Example - Chicago - Democrat controlled since....forever. Have a nice day though.
  12. Now that statues have become a major point of contention in the USA after years of little mention, I must pose a question to MLW members to see if anyone will hazard a guess. WIll the only outside statue of a Confederate military officer in Washington D.C, that of Albert Pike, Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, be vandalized, damaged and eventually removed as a result of the anti-Confederate hysteria now sweeping America? Keep your answers concise. Merci.
  13. Tearing down statues is easy. Helping poor young folks to get a thorough education, avoid drugs, gangs, and unwed pregnancy, and moving up into the middle class is difficult. Guess which task your Democratic/Liberal politicians choose?
  14. You are not understanding. Perhaps you watch too much of your cheezy CBC to understand what is really happening. Children of all ages are given symbols to manipulate as a rehearsal for adult life. Children get a steady diet of toys and stories in hopes of teaching them about how real life should work. At some point in the process of maturation, young people hopefully should abandon symbols for the real thing. However, the real thing is scary enough to cause adult people to revert to an infantile obsession with symbols. Economies are explained in terms of money or credit. Contentment is the accumulation of plastic artifacts imported by the container load from low wage manufacturing havens. One can feel powerful by pushing your toe against the accelerator pedal of a V-8 powered transportation appliance. All of this is constructed on the notion that if you can finance it, you’re entitled to it. Now if life isn’t going your way it must be the fault of some symbol. Therefore, the only way to reverse the trend is to attack the offending symbol. What you’re left with is a symbolic victory. Energy returned on energy invested continues to slide and along with it the physical economy of things and the movement of things. The great god of growth has feet of clay but we’re not having it. The only obvious recourse is to throw a temper tantrum and give that lump of bronze the thrashing it deserves. It has the added bonus of simultaneously defeating that other group of people who worship that symbol. Except that it doesn’t. The human brain is a pattern seeking/pattern generating organic neural processor. It observes its environment and then creates a mental map of what it observes. It’s constantly projecting that map as it looks for food to stuff down its assigned gullet and locate a complimentary set of genitals with which to make copies of itself. The system works pretty good so long as there’s a balance between available resources and its reproductive capacity. But along comes exosomatic use of energy and that mental map evolves to expect an enormous reproductive subsidy. The evolutionary process has taken a couple of centuries. By geological standards a blink of an eye. In fact it has been almost too rapid for human brains to assimilate. We’ve had to invent a pantheon of new symbols just to cope. However, the ride up does not resemble the ride down. We’re confronted with Seneca’s Cliff armed with a map that only goes up. What we need is exactly what we don’t have, namely, a couple of centuries or so to adapt to the new environment. The emergency requires immediate action, so we must act. Obviously, the fault lies in bad symbols or the people who brandish them.
  15. After recent events, Champagne Socialist House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi discovered that the United States Capitol building contains many statues of Confederate dignitaries. Thirty years walking those halls and she just noticed?

  16. That fight is still largely a media story. The working classes are too busy working to pay that much attention. It’s the college kids with the ‘news’ feeds on their cell phones who think BLM is actually a force to be reckoned with, for instance. Most of the ‘protestors’ in Ferguson had to be bused in from other parts of the country. I’m not saying there isn’t a divide in this country. I’m just saying it isn’t like people think it is.
  17. Have you carefully studied the video of the incident in C'Ville? His brake lights were on the whole time he was “recklessly screaming” forward. Then before he began backing up and the carnage really began, his car was engulfed by enraged protesters, one of who bashed in his rear window with a club. Seeing as he had only one way out of there – in reverse – his actions there were completely understandable if he was in a panicked state. Even more so if he was put there to do what he did and much of the crowd rage was provided by agent provocateurs in a largely stage managed “incident.” MUCH more going on here than what the “official” narrative indicates. Official story? PURE BULLSHIT, as usual. Anyone who trusts the MSM is out to lunch.
  18. The only way we’ll ever know the unvarnished truth of what happened at Charlottesville is for an unbiased commission to conduct an investigation. Look for example at what the main stream press seem determined to not discuss: counter demonstrators carrying clubs. You may not like those swastika-bearing neo-Nazis. Nor do I. They’re insufferable, the refuge of losers. But then so is the Oligarch bought-and-paid-for, witless, clueless, violent Left. Of course such an commission would turn into an all-out effort to condemn the Right in all its forms. You want to see witch-hunt? Who would be best to lead it? Chuck Shumer? Oh, wait, I know who to get: HILLARY! No matter who heads it up, the most extreme and violence-promoting elements will be conflated with anything the Left doesn’t like or doesn’t agree with and will get tarred by the same brush. Do you go to church? You’re f#%$&#. Did you vote Republican? You’re really f#$%&*. Did you vote for Trump? You f%$#ing Nazi, your life won’t be worth living. That in my estimation is where this is going. Nope, there won’t be anything remotely resembling an impartial look at how things got here and what took place. What WILL likely happen in my estimation is that – gag – “progressive” High-Horse riders will double down on all the idiot stuff they’ve done to date. What led up to Charlottesville was stupidly provocative but this was of a piece with wha they’ve been inflicting for years. Expect much more of the same and then as night follows day, expect a nasty counter-reaction. Do I detest the likes of the NYT, New Yorker and all those likewise self-appointed judges? You can’t imagine. They laud the supposed ”creative” class, you know, the white-collar “educated” ones. But just what have they created? Trivialities like Snapchat? Or end-of-the-road capitalist endeavors like Uber (glorified taxi driving)? Can you live without these? Will you die? They think it’s a good idea to export the livelihoods of millions of Americans. Could they be more transparently in the pockets of the Oligarch-Davos class? They destroy the viability of that very place they need to survive both economically and socially. Do they seriously think that they themselves will survive this destruction?
  19. The modern world is approaching some very important milestones. This is evidenced by the analysis of the world news feed. The fact is that the news tape has been loaded with a variety of information noise, and this, in principle, is a common thing. But what has been observed for the past six months, after the election of US President Donald Trump, does not fit into any framework. Information noises have become so strong that they blow out any small attempts to see the real outline of events. And the Russian central mass media in this respect do not lag behind the global ones, which try to obscure the processes that really occur in the world as much as possible, or give absolutely ridiculous to insanity interpretations of what is happening. The situation in the world has become so acute that two global world parties, both having their center in the United States are ready to go from a cold state, to attempts to jail the leaders of the opponents, either through a coup attempt or a Civil War. In early August, the political struggle in Washington went into a new plane. Now the administration of the White House and the Trump loyalists, on the one hand, and the opponents of the President, on the other, has set about developing criminal cases against each other. Thus, the head of the House’s special committee, Devin Nunes, called on the US Attorney General to appoint a special prosecutor on cases involving improper handling of confidential state information by representatives of the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton’s entourage. If the US Justice Department takes this step, two independent special prosecutors will work in Washington at once. One is on the RussiaGate, i.e., will continue to investigate the surroundings of Donald Trump, the second – for those alleged violations committed by people from the Hillary and Obama teams, as well as from the leadership of the Democratic Party. This is an unprecedented case. In fact, two political forces (not necessarily strictly affiliated with the two leading parties) will investigate each other.
  20. Nah. I don't seek support. I'm a lone wolf. I don't seek the approval of conformists. Anyway..... Who do we blame? To my mind it’s not only campus faculties and their speech police auxiliaries but also print publications that also assume for themselves the mantle of moral arbiter and assigner of blame. It’s truly astounding but these self-proclaimed magistrates, who purport to be the most enlightened of society, the best of the best, the pinnacle of what civilization can do, have been out busily fomenting for a while what we saw in Charlottesville. A lot of people have been saying it, enough with the insults and inflammatory rhetoric. But no, it was full speed ahead. And so now the self appointed magisterial proclamations all shriek the same shriek: condemn the neo-this, alt-that. OK, but did the self-appointees happen to notice the guys carrying clubs in the anti-fascist contingent? Clearly visible they were in that video of the car-ramming. What do we suppose the clubs were for? Applied to human skulls these age-old devices can accomplish pretty much what that car did. Time to have a talk about the shit that pass for wisdom. Should media shut down hate-speech? OK, there’s a lot of hate-speech that maybe needs to be shut down. So maybe start with the butt-hole leakages from supposedly “progressive” media and campuses because if that stuff ain’t hate-speech then find me a better word. You may not be capable of mature discussion, Omni. If that I the case, please don't reply.
  21. Who, me? I don’t want to cure something that isn’t a disease. People can do what they want, with whomever they want, in America. It’s none of the MSM’s business, and it is certainly none of the government’s business. BTW, the US government, not only under Obama as well, but ESPECIALLY under Obama, could not care less about what happens to people in our inner city neighborhoods, no matter what their color.
  22. I suspect that the white and black working classes, and soon lower middle classes, would be on the same side too. Keeping them from recognizing this and fighting each other is THE most important task of the mainstream media at the moment, owned and run as it is by oligarchs.
  23. A few hundred right wing racists demonstrating in Charlottesville. Thousands of deranged leftists demonstrating in our cities for the obliteration of civil liberties and the rule of law. Take your pick.
  24. Are you hoping for a financial collapse?. One reason I would like the financial collapse to occur first is that it is the cause of many of the “issues” causing the current anger. If the root cause for much of this divisiveness goes away, maybe people will awaken to the real problems we face. Maybe.
  25. Those tough looking white people kicking and hitting a fallen stone statute as if it was flesh and blood really cracked me up.

      That's, of course, Robert Duvall. Martin Sheen played Lee in Gettysburg. No CGI in either of those two.  

      Duvall has done some interesting historical flicks for both HBO and TBS. His portrayal of Stalin is pretty awesome.
