Ghost In The Machine

They want you to think they’re clowns.

What you see, sometimes, is not what you see. By 2016 the rules governing the ability of the U.S. government to use military propoganda operations against its own citizens were changed by Barack Obama. Old news? Ok, well how’s it working out so far?  It sure has been an eventful and difficult few years since the rules have changed, hasn’t it?

What does it mean? It means that everything that has happened since, every media byte, every narrative swallowed and regurgitated, every internet trope is a result of this fundamental change, oops, I mean “transformation”.

Here is the US military psyops ad. It’s full of Easter Eggs, if you want to go down the rabbit hole they have constructed for you. Watch it.

Huh, that was weird.

Your government has used – and is using- its military intelligence apparatus against its own people. The results are all around you. The ongoing and never-ending cycle of crisis after crisis? The “existential” and emotional fear over every possible eventuality? The assault on every front? Gender, race, the environment, energy, food, property…all in flux and in a state of confusion. Can you feel it?

Confuse your enemy. Addle them. Give them so many plates to spin that they can focus on nothing else. Think. Take yourself as far out from the symphonic cacophony as you can, and try to hear each instrument individually.  Chaotic noise? Yes. Conducted orchestra nonetheless? Yes.

They have defined an enemy, and they work against them. So, let me ask you, whom do you think their enemy is?

Chasing The Dragon

What a long, strange trip it’s been. After a summer filled with riots, looting and corporate and political intimidation, the 2020 election is upon us. Americans have been subjected to a barrage of establishment propaganda leading up to election day that would make Stalin, Mao, and Goebbels blush, and to a great extent it has been successful. For months, mobs of “useful idiots” and their corrupt, virtue signaling corporate sponsors have beaten, shot, and intimidated anyone not part of their woke and racist new religion. History has seen this kind of thing before, yet many are either ignorant to that fact, like millennials and zoomers, or are willfully complicit in the revolution out of cowardice or self interest. 

What’s this remind me of again?

Gee, scenes like the ones above really bring something from history to mind…I wonder what it could be? Oh, I remember!

(insert racial identity here) Lives Matter!

Wait…maybe I was thinking of something else. Like this: 

They wanted to destroy the Four Olds: Old ideas, old culture, old habits, and old customs. Golly that sounds familiar!

Oddly though, the intellectually dishonest and post-modernist among us are happy in their university inspired cognitive-dissonance. It may not be all their fault to some extent, because omission, forked-tongue duplicity and projection are the standard in modern media. Never the less, these folks need to be held accountable for their laziness in parroting CIA/FBI talking points that are silly and destructive. Like “white supremacy is everywhere!”, when democrat states are attempting to overturn the Civil Rights Act, like in California, and corporations like Nike – who use literal slave labor in China – openly advocate discrimination against an entire segment of the population based on the color of their skin. At the same time universities and these Woke companies openly teach race-hate with their talk of “rejecting whiteness” being “anti-racist”, and “intersectionality”.

My question to the rubes who have swallowed whole the tenets of the Cult Of Woke: If white supremacy is everywhere, why will tweeting “All Lives Matter” or quoting MLK’s wish to judge others on the “content of their character not the color of their skin” get you fired from your job or banned from social media? Yeah, go ahead and tell yourself that to “take a knee” isn’t being a racist and a coward…but I’ll pass.

And in the middle of this cultural maelstrom, with the election almost upon us, the media has long thrown out any pretense of journalism in it’s attempt to select the next president. After years of lies about “Russian collusion”, “Pee tapes”, the “Ukraine call”, and “good people on both sides”, media has finally and brazenly committed the ultimate act of election interference: The burying of the biggest scandal trinity in American history. Namely, the Obama administration’s sabotage of the incoming Trump administration, the Hillary Clinton concocted Russia hoax, and the complete compromise of Joe Biden through his crime family enterprise in China and Ukraine via Hunter Biden. Want to know what being compromised by a foreign power is? Here:

Oops.

Or:

Just freakin’ gross. I mean, C’mon man!

Hunter needs Dad’s help to get that cash! (Click on image to read)

Or:

Hey wait, didn’t Joe write a crime bill that put blacks in jail for longer sentences for crack possession? Good thing Hunter “ain’t black”, right Joe?

To the fools saying this is more Russia!Russia!Russia!….here’s Hunters receipt, and his attorney contacted the computer repair shop and asked for the hard drive back!

Yes, these arrogant elites are that dumb.

Or you can read the stories below about how the Chinese Communist Party has been in possession of proof of Hunter Biden’s felony shenanigans, and how they’ve cashed in on them:

Trust me, you don’t want to see the fullscreen version.

But hey, MSNBC, CNN and their “Operation Mockingbird” pals won’t touch it or even report on it. A previous administration and Vice President that for 8 years was on the hook for his and his family’s crimes, while being compromised by the Chinese, may again return to the White House. We already witnessed Obama and Biden do nothing while the Red Dragon advanced into the South China Sea, took control of American manufacturing, and bought off virtually every global corporation in exchange for slave labor and easy cash. If you didn’t know it already, we are in a fight for our very survival against communist China : The makers and distributors of Covid 19. The manufacturers of 90% of the world’s PPE, therapeutic medicines, and pharmaceuticals that treat Covid.  The owners of American company’s technology manufacturing. The factory source for Amazon and Apple. The black bag money source of corrupt politicians. The funders of University sabotage. The cheerleaders for American racial division and cultural degeneracy. 

Joe Biden warns of a “dark winter” coming, but only if the Red Dragon and those in their pocket succeed in getting him elected.

Made In China

China in distress. I had to flip the flag over on my own, as internet search results resisted putting “upside down chinese flag” into my results. American flags upside down? No problem.

Three damning words. If the current situation has taught us anything, it’s that ‘Made in China’ is anathema to everything Western Civilization stands for.

America is a few weeks into it’s national suicide over the Chinese imported WuFlu, and things aren’t going so great. States are locked down, propaganda is flying, and getting ahold of any real data is almost impossible. One thing is for certain, China created the virus, lied about the virus, weaponized the virus, and then distributed it to Western nations in order to offset their own weakness in the face of it’s effects. Don’t believe me? Gordon Chang does, and he’s one of the best people to make such an assertion. He wrote ‘The Coming Collapse Of China’ in 2001, and even though his timeline was off…his predictions of how and why the Chinese Communist Party, otherwise known as the People’s Republic Of China, have done what they’ve done and why, are relevant.

First things first, this author has severe doubts about how America is responding to this crisis. In my opinion, the measures being undertaken by local and state authorities, in circumvention of the Consitution, are at best heavy-handed, and at worst outright authoritarian and suspicious. If I wasn’t so aware of the incredible incompetence of 99% of all government, especially local and state, I would have a nefarious conspiracy theory to fit the situation. But alas, however much I would like to believe that those we have entrusted to our governance are evil geniuses, they are in fact incredible dunces, and posess only the most superficial guile, and therefore are incapable of the pre-planning and strategic thinking required to enslave us. Instead, it is arrogance, ineptitude, money, elitist inbred privilege, a need to cover up past transgressions, and most importantly a raw and animal desire for power that motivates our “elected leaders”.

From the beginning of this outbreak, hidden and manipulated by communist China since at least November of last year, the level of response and the severity of it’s consequences have seemed unproportionate, at least in most places. Leaked videos out of China, provided by non-CCP outlets such as “Zooming In With Simone Gao”, indeed showed a horrible and incredibly frightening epidemic. Doctors having breakdowns, body bags lining hospital corridors, and funeral homes burdened with victims beyond their capacity to handle. Oddly though, while combatting the plague, China decided to boot western journalists from the country, and viola!, the very next day they “flattened the curve”. Now China claims no new deaths and very few new infections. They are liars. With one of the world’s largest populations of heavy smokers with accompanying air pollution at always-record levels, China’s population is especially at risk. The lesson is that nothing the communist government of China reports can be trusted or taken seriously.

In my opinion, China messed up, but in typical Alinski-Marxist fashion they decided to make lemonade out of the lemons they’d been handed. Or to be culturally correct, make soup out of the diseased bats they’d been handed. Anyway, there is a clear agenda:

Cover up the creation and escape of a coronavirus bioweapon.

Export the virus.

Expel western journalists.

Delete relevant information and people that threaten to expose the conspiracy.

Produce propaganda to blame others while at the same time touting yourself as savior and rescuer.

Manufacture and distribute defective testing kits and medical equipment.

Use the lunatic diversity and race fetishism of the West against it… while being the most racist nation on earth. Don’t take my word for it.

Re-open factories and shipping hubs at the point of a gun to show the world you have contained and managed the mess that you created.

Rely on CIA backed and corporate funded U.S. media to parrot and repeat Communist party lies in the name of globalism and easy money.

Artificially maintain Chinese currency and markets in order to absorb the faltering of western markets.

Advance further into the South China Sea and use the crisis to sieze more control over international shipping lanes. ( Do you see why the USS Theodore Roosevelt Captain is a piece of sh!t? What does he think is at stake?

https://pjmedia.com/trending/commander-of-aircraft-carrier-who-called-for-help-with-virus-outbreak-is-fired/ )

I don’t care what your politics are. If you think that being reliant on an enemy nation for your energy, your food, your water, your security, your medical supplies and medications, your clothing, your tools, your manufacturing, your technology and virtually every aspect of your life is a good idea…then you’re either an idiot or a member of congress. America needs to learn the following lesson, if it says, “Made In China”, stay the hell away from it. Mitch McConnell won’t save you,  as him, his wife, and his father-in-law take communist cash to assist the CCP in making warships. Dianne Feinstein had a ChiCom spy as her limo driver for almost 2 decades, while Nancy Pelosi is also denture-deep in Commie-cash. The Ivy League is infested with academics on the Chinese payroll. Media outlets like Bloomberg are wholly in the pocket of Xi JinPing, the Chinese dictator. We have been bartered and sold to a nation that despises us, for literally every reason you can think of. As far as China is concerned, the United States is a nation of decadent cowards and sissies, more concerned with their genitals, their color, and feeding their faces than maintaining the status of Western Civilization.

When America is done cowering from the Chinese Coronavirus, it must stop cowering from it’s self-imposed masters in Beijing as well.

Thanks Obama!

He’s called “the Shadow President”, and everywhere Trump goes, he is sure to follow. It’s not in the American Media much, but sure enough………..he pops up at the same places that President Trump has just visited and proceeds to meet with the same people. Now, maybe it isn’t being reported because the press has decided to stop fawning over – and heaping undeserved praise upon – good ole Barry, but I doubt it.  Me being me, I have a different and more researched opinion. It’s very simple…….the Shadow President is doing the work overseas that his Shadow Government is doing here at home. You didn’t think that his Soros-funded “Organizing for Action” group, that has millions of dollars and a rented compound blocks from the White House, was for nothing, did you?

Sure, when the talking heads on TV say that he’s trying to preserve his “legacy”, that’s part of it…….but the real focus is much more insidious. If you haven’t figured it out yet, the election last November wasn’t just a surprise to the Washington and Global Establishment, it wasn’t supposed to happen in the first place. The reaction and actions of Globalist media and Establishment politicians has been more than just the standard fare of attacks…… it has been a year of outright sedition, a literal 24/7 attempt to overthrow the outcome of an election. If you think that’s hyperbole, then you haven’t been paying attention. Obama has been following Trump around the world in order to continue this objective……and I’d bet dollars to donuts that his words are something like, ” hey…..I know you think we’ve lost control of our New World Order thing, but don’t be fooled…….my bureaucrats, weaponized FBI, appointed judges, and intelligence agencies are gonna take care of this guy, and then we’ll make sure that no one outside of our little aristocrat club ever wins, or runs, again…”.

On top of his private meetings, Barry also has been giving speeches. The kind of stuff he’s saying in them is pretty nasty, and also pretty indicative of him and his pals. Classless demagogues hysterically bent on subverting the American economy, culture, and spirit. He directly compared Trump to Hitler, and warned of millions of deaths like those caused by World War 2……which is pretty sick, especially for an ex-president, but why start being a statesman now, right? The gem of his speeches was what he said about the economy since last November……..he took credit. Really……he took credit for the boom that began the day after we all found out there wouldn’t be a 3rd socialist term for the left. He even said, “Thanks Obama”. He’s either a horrible liar, completely out of touch, bitter, or angry that his plants in unelected government have been unsuccessful – so far – in running Trump and his “America 1st” agenda out of town. I say it’s all of the above……but in the spirit of his ridiculous claim I’ll follow through on his behalf.

For 8 years of less than 2 percent GDP growth and the lowest workforce participation rate in history, Thanks Obama.

For being the most secretive and non-transparent administration in history, Thanks Obama.

For 8 years of inflaming race relations and stoking the worst racial division since the 60’s, Thanks Obama.

For stacking the Judiciary with crazy-ass liberals whom ignore and subvert U.S. law and the constitution, Thanks Obama.

For taking the giant mess that “W” made in the Middle East and screwing it up even more, as the only thing worse than being in a bad war is losing one, Thanks Obama.

For sleeping in till 10 am, shooting hoops, and smokin’ cigarettes while North Korea got the bomb and China made its own islands in the South China Sea, Thanks Obama.

For getting slobbering, ass-licking coverage from the Media on everything from bad policies to the White House “Holiday” decorations….including ignoring all of the stuttering uhs and ums in his interviews and statements, and et cetera, et cetera……Thanks Obama.

For creating a weaponized press that treats establishment lies as facts and attempts to destroy anyone and anything that contradicts your extreme global leftism, Thanks Obama.

For an entire young generation in existential crisis after 8 years of creating and inserting identity and tribal politics into every aspect of American life, Thanks Obama.

For creating the conditions globally that have led to the death of millions and international chaos, all in the name of your fake “red lines” and support of the Muslim Brotherhood over our traditional allies, Thanks Obama.

For the record number of illegals and “refugees” that are not assimilated and are completely dependent on taxpayer-funded welfare and subsidies, Thanks Obama.

For running the most unconstitutional federal government since the Civil War, Thanks Obama.

For weaponizing all federal agencies, from the IRS to the FBI, that have done everything from spying on reporters, punishing “Tea Party” groups, and as is now completely obvious – creating a democrat party that pays for fake “dossiers” on political opponents and then uses them to illegally issue warrants, start above-and outside-the-law investigations, all in an attempt to overthrow and subvert a dually elected president, Thanks Obama.

And finally, for getting the hell out of the White House and ensuring that your policies were so hated that the American public stood up in numbers large enough to get around your party’s gerrymandering and illegal alien voting……….Thanks, Obama.

A Trump Mistake?

I have said repeatedly over the last eighteen months that when I see something going wrong with the Trump administration, I will say so. Well, today is that day. It’s all over the globalist corporate news networks this morning…….and what’s missing are the details. What am I referring to? As of right now, the United States has committed Marines and artillery to Syria. I find this development deeply disturbing, and once again I must break from the “wisdom” of the John McCain wing of the republican party that is obsessed with all things war.

One of the reasons I voted for Trump was the repeated campaign promise to withdraw U.S. troops from places that we should not be…….and I strongly believe that Syria is definitely one of those places. Frankly, I am against any and all new deployments of “boots on the ground”, because we are not in any position to win wars. We are mired in political correctness and muddled rules of engagement, and the military has not been repaired, nor its social engineer hacks removed, in the short time that Trump has been in office. If anything, his picks for cabinet positions are a beach-head in the bureaucracy, and represent being one-level deep in a sea of Obama/Bush kleptocrats.

My questions are many, but I would be happy to get the following answers: Who are we fighting in Syria, and why?  Republicans are on TV telling me that our Marines will be receiving firing orders from ” the fighters we have trained on the ground” in order to “combat ISIS”. What the hell does that mean? It sounds to me like U.S. soldiers getting their marching orders from a bunch of Islamic goat-humpers – who would be just as happy chopping off their heads and strapping bombs to 10 year olds – as they are to be our “allies”. Are we fighting with, or against, Russia and the Syrian government? Are we escalating the disastrous strategy of the bumbling Obama?

The stock market has gained roughly 3 trillion in value since Trump’s election. Illegal border crossings are down a reported 40 percent. Consumer confidence is at a half-century high, and small business prospects are also at their highest since 1984. Obamacare is almost toast, regardless of the establishment bullsqueeze attempting to replace it, and more than half of the public is happy entrusting Trump with the economy. Who’s interest does this serve? China is about to stake claim to the moon ( and make no mistake they will claim ownership of it – let your mind wander on the possibilities ), and of all the previously international waters in Asia…..yet we are once again throwing men, women, and money into the gristmill of the Middle East……with no clear goal or path to victory. So Mr. President………how does this benefit the People of The United States and return power to the taxpayer? The only wars I want the President undertaking are on Twitter.

“Such will be a great lesson of peace – teaching men that what they cannot take by an election, neither can they take by a war – teaching all the folly of being the beginners of a war….” – Abraham Lincoln

War Is The Answer

In the past days I have been seriously thinking about which direction to go in the pursuit of my next column. The problem is, there are so many horrible things going on at once that it is difficult to pick just one or two to address. Should I talk to you about the sham that is the selection process for our next president? How about the collusion of both parties to continue abusing and soiling our Senate and so-called House of Representatives?  Or maybe about the huge racial and cultural divide currently splitting the legal population? Oh, or better yet, the absolute abject failure of our co-opted “Press” in giving any unbiased, no-agenda, reporting on any of the issues I just mentioned, or anything else for that matter?

Then it came to me. War is the answer. If you logically go through every single major issue facing the United States…….and what the hell let’s throw in the rest of the globe…..the answer to any question is war. Not just in the middle east, not just on your t.v., but on scale on par with nothing we have seen before. Don’t get me wrong, this is the absolute last thing I would want to happen, and it would be awful in more ways than I can imagine. The big problem is that as soon as you look outside these porous borders of ours, every issue and argument seems to be leading to an unfortunate yet inevitable conclusion. Let’s pick a few points and follow the bouncing betty.

Over the past 7 years the United States has either ignored or abandoned every commitment made to our strategic allies all over the world. Whether I agree with what those commitments were and if they were wise decisions matters not, as it sets a very dangerous example. We have failed to honor our commitments to defend free satellite states of the Old Soviet Empire, as Putin gobbles up former chunks of the once dead USSR. We have reduced our military in number and technical development. What once was a formidable fighting force is now a social experiment for transgendered, homosexual, and female soldiers. Our Navy has been reduced by half, with more cuts in the pipeline. In fact, our Prez now demands any increase in military spending be matched with more welfare and entitlement dollars. We have drawn “red lines” all over the middle east, each nothing more than an empty political tool for domestic gain with no thought to the lives that teeter on such proclamations. In my opinion, the U.S. has no business interfering in other nations affairs……but when the Chief Executive makes a threat, it should not be as empty as the suit he wears.

We have built ISIS. Do you hear that leftist weirdos? To those that claimed we created Al Qaeda during the Bush years and yakked on and on about Haliburton, etc., etc.. Well here’s your new crusade ready made for you. By leaving Iraq ( and we can discuss whether we should have ever been there or not later ) with an announced timeline and regardless of the state of affairs, we opened the door to islamists to run wild. In fact, once again in my opinion, we systematically used the “arab spring” to topple leaders like Mubarak in Egypt and Qadhafi in Libya, and have been trying to do the same to Syria’s Assad. Have you asked yourself why? After seeing the obvious mistake of removing Saddam as a barrier to Iran and a hammer to the islamists, why would we continue to follow the same disastrous course all over the middle east? It’s pretty clear that the 7th century headchoppers populating that part of the world were scared to death of the brutal dictators that held an iron grip on them. Well guess what? We traded a handful of distasteful, power mad, dictators for thousands of them that cannot be reasoned with or diplomatically handled.

We have slapped our ally Israel in the face at every turn. Calm down, Jew-haters, I know there is a bunch of people who think that the “Eveeel Jooooooose” are responsible for all the world’s ills, but if you’re one of these folks you need to read a book or two and realize what kind of company you’re in ( and it ain’t good ). Israel is the only democratic nation in the region, and our on-paper ally, yet we have acted as much as their enemy as anyone else……..denying fly over access to their jets for a preemptive Iran strike, denying ammunition and arms, and refusing to honor our promises of joint defense. And speaking of Iran……hey America! do you realize who our new best buddy is? It’s Iran! You know……the folks who have been killing and maiming American soldiers all over the world for decades! The folks who chant “death to America” and mean it…….you know, the freakin’ bad guys! Now we are giving them a nuke!  Not only that but in the super-secret agreement our Caesar made for us behind closed doors, we actually have an obligation to defend their so-called “peaceful” nuclear enrichment sites. Does that sound like a path to peace to you?

As a result of all of this U.S. foreign policy failure, Europe is being flooded with muslim “refugees”. As an example, there is a small town in Germany with a population of 120 that is bracing for an influx of over 700 non-german speaking “refugees” that just so happen to be 70+ percent male.** The U.K., France, Germany, and Italy are all on the receiving end of huge masses of peaceful Islamists who can’t speak the language, are dependent on social welfare/services, and are brimming with the desire to implement Sharia law on the communities they are infesting. Shoot, Obama is shipping thousands of them here for good measure, which sounds like a great idea, doesn’t it? Now in addition to hordes of illiterates from south of the border, we can throw in some terrorists too!

America is in huge debt, or as Trump would say…Yuge Debt. Our 8 trillion dollar debt at the start of our Dear Leader’s tenure has been more than doubled to over 18 trillion *.  We can never repay this debt, even as with unfunded liabilities every single person in America currently owes over a quarter of a million dollars…..even your little kids and babies. Are you good for that? See why the democrats’ promises of free college and free this or that are absolutely ridiculous at best and terrifyingly evil at worst? At the same time our education system is a failure, churning out generations of idiots who think “climate change” is the most serious problem we face. I mean WTF is with that, and how are so many people so damned stupid? To think of all the huge problems we need to confront….. and yet a giant percentage of the population wants to cut our own throats in global competition so we can pee into the wind?   The weather? For real? You people think we can change the mechanics of the very universe? Wow.

Add to all of this the weight of the  global population. China is packed with a billion plus people who are mostly male and mostly deprived of any opportunity to do anything with their lives. India is brimming with young, aimless men also.  Do you think that’s an odd thing for me to mention? It’s not. Want to know why? Because countries with population crisis like that need something to do with all of those bodies, not to mention finding the resources to feed them. Historically the answer is war. When you combine poor economies with poor leadership, bad things happen. Kind of like putting American soldiers on the battlefield right next to Russian soldiers. Can someone tell me why our president is dead set on arming and funding the Islamic state, using our troops to defend them, and doing this in direct opposition to Russia – who is engaged in active combat with them? How long before an incident that leads to disaster happens?

And there you have it. All of the things I have mentioned lead to a very troubling conclusion. How does the U.S. rise out of deepening recession? How does China manage it’s population and failing economy? How does Iran use it’s newfound and America-given hegemony in the Middle East? How does Europe contain the Islamic crisis it has helped create and is so far powerless to stop? It seems that no matter what the question is, sadly and predictably,  a World War is The Answer.  We won the last one, but I fear that a nation of climate changin’, gender reassignin’, celebrity worshippin’, Bernie Sanders lovin’, Benghazi lyin’, spray tannin’, Ferguson burnin’, and selfie takin’ whiners is ill equipped to win, or even survive, the next one.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Obama

Well, at least now I know what the English translation of the word “fatwah” is…..and it’s “Executive Order”. Being an American who grew up in the Eighties, I remember when Iran was the equivalent of Al Qaeda, and the Ayatollah was Osama bin Laden. There were T-shirts with his mug on it surrounded by crosshairs, and signs in shop windows with varying ways to say “screw you Iran”. Without going into all the statistics about how Iran took American hostages, blew up Marine barracks, funded (and funds) Hezbollah, screamed (and screams) “death to America” in the streets, and generally is an all around boil on the ass of civilization, I think it’s fair to say the Iranians are not our buddies.

In more recent times, Iran is, and has been, a sworn enemy of the American people. For example, if you are an American war veteran injured or maimed by an improvised explosive device, that device might as well have had “Made in Iran” stamped on its inner workings. So forgive me for not exactly supporting this new defeatist endeavour.

Can anyone explain to me why we are having any discussions whatsoever with Iran? If the issue is the acquisition of a nuclear weapon, and preventing it, then did we not already have the sanctions, structures, and policies in place for just that purpose? And exactly how does speeding up a nuclear Iran help? Is it just me, or has “The One”, John “Ketchup” Kerry, and Shrillary Clinton turned the entire middle east into a caliphate on the verge of World War III? In my lifetime I have never witnessed a more dangerous world….one where global chaos is one financial collapse or nuclear detonation away?

Listen, I have come a long way in my thinking of America’s place in the world. I DO NOT think that we should be the world’s policeman, nor involve ourselves in foreign conflicts that do not directly affect my ability to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. In essence I think we need to get our collective scat together.  I am reminded of an argument I once had with someone who thought the U.S. was arrogant and imperial, and that we should not be the world’s only “Superpower”.  I am able to understand and even empathize with such a statement. But that kind of thinking is naïve and frankly dangerous. There IS GOING TO BE a world leader that sets the tone, agenda, and currency for everyone else.

For good or ill, that used to be the United States. And if you’re one of those that thinks we’re getting our comeuppance, that we have no right to set the world’s agenda, get ready. Because the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Obama agrees with you, as well as all of the rest of our ruling “elites”. The New World that you long for will be led by China, Iran, Russia, and an Islamic Caliphate….all with our assistance and capitulation. And that will be great. Unless you’re a woman, a minority, religious, LGBT, progressive, conservative, a free thinker, educated, special needs, or elderly. Because in a world not guided by the following statement, many of us are doomed.

“We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator certain unalienable Rights, among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness….. that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed……”

And that sounds a whole hell of a lot better than, “bow”, “obey”, and “convert or die”.
