Global Trade Is Not New

Here is a worthy opinion piece in The New York Times about globalization:

For many years the word “globalization” was used as shorthand for a promised utopia of free trade powered by the world’s great centers of technological and financial innovation. But the celebratory note has worn thin. The word is now increasingly invoked to explain a widespread recoiling from a cosmopolitan earth. People in many countries are looking nostalgically backward, toward less connected, supposedly more secure times.

But did such an era ever exist? Was there ever an unglobalized world?

The author seems to be saying that we cannot stop tyrannical monopolies from controlling trade, so we might as well enjoy the benefits.

The way I see it, modern corporations will soon make the Dutch East India Company look like a tree-hugging charity in comparison to their robotic rapaciousness. I can live without nutmeg, if it means a life free from oligarchs, bankgangsters, corporate CEOs, and their collaborators in the one percent. The rest of us can no longer afford spices anyway.

By the way, those of us who can afford it will soon be able to "3-D print" (or its culinary equivalent) just about anything right in the comfort of our own homes, so trade in the context of moving objects from one continent to another may become obsolete. All we'll need is a printer (synthesizer) and a store of raw materials which probably can be grown anywhere.

Unfortunately, we'll still have to pay someone to license the plans (recipes).

Unless we all become pirates.

Why All The US SpecOps In Africa ???

Africa has seen the most dramatic growth in the deployment of America’s elite troops of any region of the globe over the past decade, according to newly released numbers.

In 2006, just 1% of commandos sent overseas were deployed in the U.S. Africa Command area of operations. In 2016, 17.26% of all U.S. Special Operations forces - Navy SEALs and Green Berets among them - deployed abroad were sent to Africa, according to data supplied to The Intercept by U.S. Special Operations Command. That total ranks second only to the Greater Middle East where the U.S. is waging war against enemies in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.

“In Africa, we are not the kinetic solution,” Brigadier General Donald Bolduc, the chief of U.S. Special Operations Command Africa, told African Defense, a U.S. trade publication, early this fall. “We are not at war in Africa - but our African partners certainly are.”

That statement stands in stark contrast to this year’s missions in Somalia where, for example, U.S. Special Operations forces assisted local commandos in killing several members of the militant group, al-Shabab and Libya, where they supported local fighters battling members of the Islamic State. These missions also speak to the exponential growth of special operations on the continent.

OK, I can see how "our African partners" might want such help. After all, putting down popular rebellions has never been easy.

But can you point to a single instance in which that help has resulted in the creation of a democratic government which truly benefits the people of the region?

And by "benefits the people" I don't mean killing rebels while corporations steal the wealth of the region. That only benefits the economic hit men and their bosses.

One Promise Trump Can't Keep

I think I heard Trump promise to have iPhones made in the US.

Even if he accomplishes that feat, it won't bring back any jobs. You can find the reason here:

http://www.theverge.com/2016/12/30/14128870/foxconn-robots-automation-apple-iphone-china-manufacturing

The majority of jobs which will be created in the next decade will go to robots. Corporations intend to kill us off, and Trump cannot stop them.

But if we let robots vote, they may reelect Trump in four years. Giving them the vote would make as much sense as allowing undocumented immigrants to vote, right?

The NO State Solution

Here is what The Forward thinks about Israel's response to the UN SC resolution:

If prospects for a future two-state solution continue to fade - amidst new counterproductive steps promoted by Israel’s right-wing lawmakers seizing an opportunity in the wake of UNSCR 2334 - the response could be a renewal of Palestinian violence.

You can read the rest @
http://forward.com/scribe/358767/israels-response-to-the-un-resolution-matters-now-more-than-ever/?attribution=home-top-story-1-headline

Get real, people. There never was a "two-state solution".

Here's the reality:

  • In spite of this latest storm in a teacup, the US still supports Israel with billions of dollars and lots of advanced munitions.
  • Since Israel has a US sponsored nuclear arsenal, she thinks she can do whatever she wants. And she's right.
  • Netanyahu would be HAPPY if there were a renewal of Palestinian violence, as it would give him a pretext to implement a "final solution to the Palestinian problem".
  • And Trump apparently is behind him 100%.

John Kerry is right, but he doesn't go far enough. Israel never wanted "peace", not in the sense that word is understood by most people. Their idea of peace is what they learned from the Romans long ago, and which has been corroborated by their sponsor the US:

They rob, kill, and plunder all under the deceiving name of a "peace process". They make a desert and call it peace. [with apologies to Tacitus]

Is Obama Moving To UN ???

According to this report, Obama ad-Dajjal might be moving to the United Nations to continue his "war" on Israel:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-12-29/obama%E2%80%99s-twilight-moves-against-israel-may-foreshadow-his-move-un-sec%E2%80%99y-gen

He is not the only possible bizarre choice for the post of Secretary General of the UN. Another name which has come up is Angelina Jolie (heaven help us if she gets it).

More sane choices can be found here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Secretary-General_selection,_2016

Obama ad-Dajjal is such a grave danger to humanity that I would be surprised if Satan did not back his bid for the UN post. In any case, I don't think we have seen the last of this particular demon.

Teach Your Children

Please compare these two real life scenarios:

(1) The Islamic State released a grisly new video today showing child jihadists hunting down bound "apostates" in a live-fire training exercise.

The half-hour-long production, from ISIS headquarters in Raqqa, shows child jihadists -- boys about 9 to 12 years old -- crawling through brush carrying rifles and snipping through a barbed-wire fence toward a training compound with one-story buildings and dummies as targets.

https://pjmedia.com/homeland-security/2016/12/29/child-jihadists-hunt-down-execute-bound-prisoners-in-new-isis-video/

(2) Video games give kids [in the US] the chance explore new worlds as heroes, sports stars, game designers -- or anyone, really. And thanks to today's consoles, it's easier than ever to leap into titles that are more realistic than ever. But as developers seek to provide super-immersive experiences with vibrant HD detail, lifelike sound, and virtual reality, the realism can come at a cost: namely, violent and disturbing content.

Here are some examples of that content:

Players kill enemies using knives, poison, and a variety of guns and can strangle targets with garrotes (iron collars).

You use weapons to damage or destroy rival cars and run over pedestrians -- including nuns, the disabled, and animals -- to earn points.

Players get 20 minutes to scavenge for resources, make weapons, and create traps and land mines to kill opponents -- who shed graphic amounts of blood and gore when attacked.

https://www.commonsensemedia.org/blog/10-most-violent-video-games-of-2016-and-what-to-play-instead#

The only difference I see between the two scenarios is that the ISIS kids shoot real guns, while our kids shoot virtual guns.

Do you think that's enough of a difference to help our kids grow up to be "better" people than their kids? I don't.

Wake up, people.

Obama ad-Dajjal is an asshole. Whom does he hate more, Trump or We The People?

As a reward for all these unnecessary regulations, I think we should make him pay for the $90 million in vacations he and his family took at our expense.

Dear Trump - repeal them all. And please put Hillary in jail.

Six Vultures, One Dead Cat

Yesterday I saw a group of six vultures gathered around a dead cat they were sharing in a field near my house.

At first it reminded me of Wall Street vulture funds, which voraciously strip the flesh from the carcasses of dying economies like Argentina's.

But then I realized that six of those funds probably wouldn't share ANYTHING without fighting among themselves.

Real vultures have better manners than the funds named after them.

Some Jews AGREE Settlements Are Illegal

There are MANY Jews who think Netanyahu is wrong about the settlements. Here is their rationale:

On behalf of anti-Zionist Jews worldwide, we of Neturei Karta International, Jews United Against Zionism, greet with enthusiasm the recent United Nations Security Council resolution 2334 condemning Israeli settlements as illegal.

For decades, the settlements have been a major cause for bloodshed and unrest in the Holy Land. Hundreds of innocent lives have been sacrificed on the altar of nationalism and lust for land. We congratulate the countries in the Security Council for taking this long-overdue step toward justice and peace. And in particular, we congratulate the President of the State of Palestine, Mahmoud Abbas, on his success in achieving the passage of this resolution.

At the same time, we wish to reiterate the Torah position that it is not just the West Bank that is illegally occupied. Jews have been sent into exile by the Almighty, and any kind of Jewish sovereignty over any territory is a violation of that decree. Therefore the concept of the State of Israel is entirely illegitimate and forbidden. The crime is compounded when the creation of this homeland entails the occupation, oppression, subjugation and expulsion of another people. Before the era of Zionism, Jews lived in Palestine in peace and security, side by side with the Palestinian Arab population. We fervently hope for the day when Jews return to abiding by the laws of the Torah and living in peace with all peoples.

Now that's interesting, isn't it?

To be a Jew means to follow The Law. If the residents of Israel are not following The Law, can Israel be called a "Jewish state"?

Apparently not.

This is yet ANOTHER reason we should not be supporting Israel. If they are carrying out G-d's will, they do not need our help. If they are acting in violation of G-d's will, then we are making a GIANT mistake by helping them.

According to Jesus, the saints are to have patience and faith. He'll take care of the rest.

Why Trump Will Not Revive Nuclear Power

Here is a great report which provides ten reasons why there will not be a "nuclear renaissance" during the Trump administration:

http://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/10-Reasons-Trump-Wont-Lead-A-Nuclear-Renaissance.html

They did leave out one factor - our nuclear warheads need tritium, and currently US tritium is produced in commercial power reactors.

However, continuing to manufacture tritium in this manner also will not require a "nuclear renaissance", so in general I agree with the authors.

Why Israel Will NEVER Be A Democracy

Simply put, they would be outvoted if they were. Here is why:

Despite the decrease in the fertility rate and household size, the [PA Central Bureau of Statistics] projected that there will be more Arabs between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea than Jews.

There are currently 6.41 million Arab-Israelis and Palestinians and 6.45 million Jews in Israel, and there will be 7.12 million Arab-Israelis and Palestinians and 6.96 million Jews in 2020, according to the bureau.

You can read the rest @
http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Palestinians-to-outnumber-Jews-by-year-2020-PA-Bureau-claims-476920

This might explain two phenomena:

1. Why Israel is encouraging more Jews to emigrate to the Holy Land; and

2. Why Israel keeps putting the screws to the Palestinians.

So, let's give Israel the benefit of the doubt (should you still doubt): their policy toward the Palestinians is not "genocide"; it's merely a scheme to deprive them of their democratic rights.

Jeez, that's no reason to BDS them, is it?

Who Is The Dictator - Trump Or Soros ???

George Soros claims that Donald Trump is a "would-be dictator". You can read about it here:

http://www.infowars.com/soros-trump-is-a-would-be-dictator-who-threatens-the-new-world-order/

What is a dictator?

a :  a person granted absolute emergency power; especially :  one appointed by the senate of ancient Rome
b :  one holding complete autocratic control
c :  one ruling absolutely and often oppressively

Source - https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dictator

As US president, Trump will NOT have absolute emergency power or complete autocratic control. It is likely the House and Senate will fight him at every turn.

It's worth pointing out that Trump was elected, while Soros was not. It is Soros, not Trump, who operates in a manner similar to a "dictator".

Dear George - Leave us alone. We don't want you, your "new world order", or your interference in our nation's affairs.

Will Trump REALLY Put America First ???

It should be clear already the answer to that question is "NO".

Here is Michael Scheuer's analysis why this is so:

Mr. Trump, stop being played as a dumb ass by Jewish-Americans. Every American soldier, Marine, and U.S. civilian who has died or been wounded or maimed since Osama bin Laden declared war on the United States in 1996 has been the victim — in significant part — of the record of slavish and largely unquestioning U.S. support for Israel’s national security interests.

This kind of policy requires the utter abandonment of all the tenets inherent in the concept of America First. Together, your selection for ambassador to Israel — a supporter of West Bank settlements; that is, the brazen theft of Palestinian land — and your promise to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem will do four disastrous things: they will kill and maim more U.S. military personnel; decrease U.S. national security; prolong America’s Islam war by decades; and irreparably rupture the trust of your political base’s faith in your promise of putting America first.

You can read the rest @
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/46121.htm

I agree with Mr. Scheuer - America First and Support for Israel Are Polar Opposites !!!

However, let me make something crystal clear - to the extent that Israelis are righteous and beloved of G-d, I support them. And to the extent that my fellow Americans are righteous and beloved of G-d, I support them, too.

But my true love and devotion is to G-d Himself, as it should be for all of us. For as Jesus said:

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mark 12:30 KJV

And love thy neighbor as thyself. How many of us are doing that? Not too many since Obama ad-Dajjal and Hillary tore us apart.

Our policy ought to be "G-d First" and then America. That does NOT necessarily mean "Israel First".

Deliveries By Airship ???

Apparently Amazon wants to deliver packages using an airship as a drone base. You can read about it here:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2494314/amazon-reveals-plans-to-make-deliveries-using-incredible-airship-drone-base/

Something like this was tried before, and it failed (the "flying aircraft carriers" USS Akron and the USS Macon). You can read about it here:

http://www.airships.net/us-navy-rigid-airships/uss-akron-macon/

Contrary to popular belief, few airships exploded. The concept was abandoned mainly because too many of them crashed.

It will be interesting to see if modern technology can overcome this problem. Considering the fact that both airship aerodynamics and the behavior of our atmosphere have not changed in the past 100 years, I doubt it.

Amazon's airships will crash, too.

Always Making The Same Mistakes

We’ve known for 5,000 years that mass spying on one’s own people is usually aimed at grabbing power and crushing dissent, not protecting us from bad guys.

We’ve known for 4,000 years that debts need to be periodically written down, or the entire economy will collapse.

We’ve known for 2,500 years that prolonged war bankrupts an economy.

We’ve known for 2,000 years that wars are based on lies.

We’ve known for 1,900 years that runaway inequality destroys societies.

We’ve known for 1,700 years that torture is a form of terrorism.

We’ve known for thousands of years that debasing currencies leads to economic collapse.

We’ve known for millenia that – when criminals are not punished – crime spreads.

We’ve known for thousands of years that the rich and powerful try to censor their critics under the guise of heresy.

We’ve known for hundreds of years that the failure to punish financial fraud destroys economies, as it destroys all trust in the financial system.

Mall Violence

I no longer go to shopping malls. Being a retiree on a small pension, I cannot afford what they sell.

So I haven't personally witnessed the kind of violence which is now occurring at several of them:

https://www.yahoo.com/gma/200-descend-philadelphia-mall-disturbance-planned-snapchat-073510526--abc-news-topstories.html

I do have a big question, however - since We The People are spending $65 billion on "homeland security", how come we're not getting any "homeland security"?

(https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/FY_2016_DHS_Budget_in_Brief.pdf)

Could it be that DHS is maybe watching the wrong people? Even the people they DO watch often commit horrendous crimes.

Here is my suggestion - We need more Paul Blarts (mall cops). He's effective, and he loves what he does.

What's Happening In Jerusalem ???

Take a look at this video of cloud formations over Jerusalem during the Feast of Trumpets:

https://youtu.be/mgPR1Qz_gik

Is this a prophetic sign? It certainly is suggestive of several scriptures:

And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
Numbers 10:9 KJV

And the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
Numbers 11:25 KJV

And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord,
So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
1 Kings 8:10-11 KJV

And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
Isaiah 4:5 KJV

Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
Ezekiel 1:20 KJV

I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
Daniel 7:9 KJV

And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Matthew 24:30 KJV

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Revelation 1:7 KJV

Is Israel being "oppressed" by all the nations of the earth? In a sense, yes.

Is Israel going to war with all the nations of the earth? In a sense, yes.

Does Israel intend to rebuild the Temple? Yes.

Will G-d dwell in and protect the Temple? I believe He will.

Once the sacrifices have been restarted, can anyone stop them? Yes, but at a steep cost.

Are the priests and rabbis expecting to see Jesus coming in the clouds? No; the expected Jewish Messiah is a man, not a deity (see below).

What therefore is the relationship between Judaism and Christianity in the End Times? THAT is one of the most important questions of our times, one which is NOT being addressed by the Christian clergy, with the exception of those (e.g., John Hagee) who believe there are two covenants, one for Jews and one for Christians. What's wrong with that? Read this post and its linked articles and think about its implications:

Settlements, Schmettlements

Our Israeli "friends" appear all bent out of shape over the latest UN Security Council resolution:

Did the community organizer from Harvard Law just deliver some personal payback to the IDF commando? So it would seem.

By abstaining on that Security Council resolution declaring Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem illegal and invalid, raged Bibi Netanyahu, President Obama “failed to protect Israel in this gang-up at the UN, and colluded with it.”

Obama’s people, charged Bibi, “initiated this resolution, stood behind it, coordinated on the wording and demanded that it be passed.”

White House aide Ben Rhodes calls the charges “falsehoods.”

Hence, we have an Israeli leader all but castigating an American president as a backstabber and betrayer, while the White House calls Bibi a liar.

This is not an unserious matter.

You can read the rest @
http://buchanan.org/blog/barack-backhands-bibi-126316

Here is my take on the issue:

1. If the settlements are illegal under international law, then they are illegal.

2. The temper tantrums of a criminal are irrelevant to the proceedings.

3. No US president or other official is required to support any establishment of religion, such as the nation of Israel or Judaism as a whole. That is what this provision of the US Constitution means:

Article VI, 3: ... no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Dear Israel - Stop your whining and obey the law. Or do you think the Torah/Bible puts you ABOVE the law?

If THAT is what this brouhaha is all about, then in my view this other provision of the US Constitution requires that we not get involved at all, nor support you in any way:

Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...

In other words, you do what you want but we're not going to help you or get in your way. You're on your own from now on.

At least until Trump is inaugurated ... because he doesn't understand our constitution, either.

Were Ankara And Berlin Attacks Staged Events ???

Here is a video which questions the official versions of what happened in Ankara and Berlin:

http://www.activistpost.com/2016/12/karlov-assassination-berlin-truck-attack-staged-events.html

It's a bit lengthy, and certainly controversial, but considering that both of the alleged attackers are dead (and there will be no trials), I think we have a right to question what really happened. Don't you?

Still Whining About Pearl Harbor ???

Apparently Japan's Prime Minister is finally atoning for the Pearl Harbor attacks. You can read about it here:

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Foreign-Policy/2016/1227/At-heart-of-Obama-Abe-Pearl-Harbor-meeting-the-power-of-reconciliation

Let's put it bluntly:

  • The attacks on Pearl Harbor at least made some sense at the time. They were attacks on military targets. And FDR had goaded the Japanese into attacking our fleet in the first place.
  • The attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki have never made any sense. They were attacks on civilian populations. And in spite of US propaganda to the contrary, they were totally unnecessary. Senior US military leaders thought the attacks were barbaric, and they were right.

So Pearl Harbor will live in infamy? Apparently it will, but we ought to add to that infamy the actions and inactions of FDR which brought it about and/or failed to prevent it.

Or do we want to keep lying to ourselves?

The Greatest Purveyor Of Violence In The World

It was true in the day of MLK, Jr., and it is still true today:

The latest arms sales figures are in, and as usual the United States is responsible for the largest number of weapons exports of any nation in the world. Indeed, as of 2015 they are responsible for fully half of all exports, $40 billion out of an $80 billion global market.

Note well - the publisher of this map, The Washington Post, is a creature of Amazon.com, which may have had great influence in its drawing. Should economic connection be the chief (or perhaps the only) criterion for how we are organized? If it is, then can our transformation into a market state be all that far away?

Save Our Oceans

Fact - 70% of the oxygen we breathe is produced by marine plants:

http://nationalgeographic.org/activity/save-the-plankton-breathe-freely/

Fact - Obama ad-Dajjal has banned drilling for oil and gas in large areas of the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/20/us/obama-drilling-ban-arctic-atlantic.html

Fact: This ban will not be enough. We must take radical, aggressive action to save what remains of our oceans.

Screw the F-35, the littoral combat ship, and the Army's new tanks and APCs. Bring the troops home, cut the military's budget to the bone, and protect our borders - but take the trillions we are about to waste on "defense" and nuclear weapons and spend whatever it takes on getting all the oil, plastic, other trash, corium, and radionuclides out of our oceans.

If we don't, no bombs, bullets, or military aircraft will be able to save us from the death of our oceans.

Hard Times Coming To Davos ???

It is famed for luxury hotels, pristine ski slopes and fabulously wealthy clientele.

But unfortunate staff at the World Economic Forum could see a different side to Davos at its conference for the super-rich.

The annual junket has become so popular for the world’s elite that the Swiss ski resort is running out of accommodation.

The 2017 event sold out within days, and for 2018 it is thought there just won’t be enough hotel rooms to go round.

As a result the organisers are taking desperate measures by putting people up in shipping containers in car parks.

The Davos conference, which is held every January, attracts top-flight politicians, chief executives and billionaires to discuss the state of the world economy.

But as the meetings have grown in popularity, an ever-expanding guest list has forced even the best- connected attendees to fight for somewhere to stay.

Everyone who has ever gone to Davos (with the exception of the staff) SUCKS. Why do we tolerate these vile swine?

Houston's Xmas Gift To The Homeless

According to Derrick Broze and theAntiMedia.org, this is how Houston, TX treats the homeless:

Local activists attempting to hand out food and gifts were shocked on Thursday afternoon when Houston police forced the homeless to throw away the donations.  Around 1 pm on Thursday,  several individuals met in downtown Houston to distribute plates of hot food, blankets, and other supplies to the city’s growing homeless population. Soon after, Houston police arrived on the scene of two different intersections where the homeless advocates were giving out gifts and food.

According to witness testimony posted on Facebook, the police instructed the homeless to throw away everything they had been given. “Not only were the police called, but they brought a large waste management truck and are forcing the homeless to throw away their food, pillows and other items,” reads one post.

You can read the rest @
http://theantimedia.org/houston-police-throw-away-food-homeless/

If this is true (and I believe it is), it makes perfect sense. Houston, TX is the home of numerous antichrists and false christs such as Joel Osteen, who seems to be more interested in feeding his bank account than in feeding the poor. His Lakewood Church is an obscenity.

Does this "make America great again"? NOPE.

The Middle East Peace Process Is No More

Trump's ambassador to Israel will drive the final nails into the coffin of the Middle East "peace process". That is the implication of this essay by Uri Avnery:

So who does Friedman really identify with? A representative sample of his utterances make this quite clear: he considers himself to belong to about 5% of the Israeli population: the settlers and the extreme Right.

Here are some of his outstanding opinions:

  • The Arab citizens of Israel, some 21% percent of the population, should be stripped of their citizenship. Rather like stripping all African-Americans of their US citizenship.
  • There is no "Two-State Solution". Even mentioning such a possibility verges on treason. (Since I have been accused of having been the first to voice this solution in 1949, this is more spit I have to wipe from my face.)
  • No settler must be allowed to be removed from his "home", even if this "home" is located on the private property of Arab farmers.
  • In Greater Israel, from the sea to the river, Jews constitute a majority of 65%. This is a blatant lie: In this territory, including the Gaza Strip, the Arabs already constitute a majority.
  • Future President Trump should be encouraged to dismiss all State Department personnel who advocate the Two-State Solution.
  • Palestinians are corrupt.
  • President Barak Obama is a "blatant antisemite".
  • Bashar al-Assad and Binyamin Netanyahu should be friends. Probably including Vladimir Putin – a winsome trio, Indeed.
  • We need a World War against Islamic anti-Semitism.
  • American and Israeli Jews who support the Israeli peace camp are worse than Kapos. (Kapo, short for Kamp-Polizei, or "camp police", were camp inmates enlisted by the Nazis to uphold order in the death-camps, until they themselves were put to death.) This applies specifically to the mild and inoffensive "J Street" organization.

In fact, his appointment by Trump suggests that the "Palestinian problem" is about to be ended using the most violent means imaginable, funded by the US taxpayer.

Think about that this Christmas, and ask yourself if this is something Jesus would have done.

As far as I am concerned, the answer to that question is a resounding NO.

Best Way To Defang Hillary

The best way to defang Hillary Clinton is to audit how she spends the money people donate to her:

Clinton’s fallout is interestingly causing an internal revolution among Hillary’s big donors. At her New York bash to “thank” her big donors of $1 million or more, she took no blame and pointed the finger at Comey and Putin. Her spin did not work and she has lost a lot of credibility according to confidential sources. They were smart enough to realize that even if Russia “hacked” the DNC and Podesta emails, there would be no release if there had been no wrongdoing to begin with.

Now Clinton’s biggest backers want a “campaign autopsy,” which could expose Clinton’s entire operation. The donors are demanding to know where Clinton spent the near $1.5 billion in campaign resources she collected in the closing months. They want the receipts. They are demanding an honest investigation of how Clinton failed to read the mood in swing states and how her Brooklyn operation misread polling data.

I'd be willing to bet she cheated her donors just like she scammed the rest of us. Should that be proven, her source of cash will dry up and that will be the end of her.

Good riddance.

What We're Missing About The New Nuclear Arms Race

This essay allegedly reveals "what everyone is missing" about Trump's nuclear arms race:

http://theantimedia.org/trump-nuclear-twitter-everyone-missing/

As you may have surmised, it's BS: just another anti-Trump hit piece.

Here's what you 're REALLY missing about this subject:

1. The desire to use nuclear weapons has been swelling for decades, and it stems from the highest levels of power in the government and deep state.

2. I have it on good authority that the latest nuclear weapons buildup actually started the day George W. Bush became president.

3. The Pentagon would absolutely LOVE to wage nuclear war. They always have.

4. The US government approved and even facilitated the development of "minimum residual radiation" nuclear weapons to make their use more palatable.

5. The US helped Israel obtain and develop nuclear weapons in spite of our own laws, and continues to lie on Israel's behalf.

6. Unlike what you see in the movies, once a nuclear armed ICBM is fired, it cannot be recalled or disarmed.

AND NONE OF THIS IS BECAUSE OF TRUMP !!!

Obama ad-Dajjal, Hillary, and a long list of nefarious characters in the US government have threatened to use nukes. Trump is merely the next titular leader of the insane military junta which has taken over our land.

The Clinton Archipelago

Here is where you do not want to be when the shit hits the fan (and it will):


OK, this is actually pretty obvious – but it is worth pointing out that the “archipelago” of islands across the vast expanse of the United States that carried the vote for Hillary Clinton during the election – also happens to be a ring of the liberal cities that:

a) have exploded with crime, riots and unrest;

b) have provided sanctuary for millions of illegal immigrants that have destabilized the country;

c) are going bankrupt and will be unable to fulfill pension obligations, or pay their share of social security, welfare, etc.;

d) have been foremost in advocating gun control, and ensuring that only criminals and police have guns, while 2nd Amendment arm-bearing citizen have flocked to the rural areas where their rights are not generally restricted;

e) will be the first places to be become unstable during any major crisis – as soon as grocery store shelves go empty. Martial law will be the only way to maintain stability, and that will come at a further price to liberty; and

f) will be the first place to line up for FEMA camps and beg for food, shelter and rations, again, at a further price to liberty.

This morning I read (again) that 40% of young adults are living with their parents. This report confirms that fact:

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/percentage-of-young-americans-living-with-their-parents-is-40-percent-a-75-year-high/

These are the same people who colluded with the powers that be as our nation, its social structure, and its economy were destroyed for the benefit of the rich. Are you happy now?

Here's Why US Is In Syria

You guessed it - a pipeline, the same reason our water supplies soon will be contaminated by tar sands oil:

Yes, Obama ad-Dajjal lied to you again. But you still think he's a saint, don't you?

Public Works, Private Profits

Instead of the "shovel ready jobs" promised by Obama ad-Dajjal, we got this:

Nicole Adamczyk’s drinking water used to slosh through a snarl of pipes dating from the Coolidge administration — a rusty, rickety symbol of the nation’s failing infrastructure.

So, in 2012, this blue-collar port city cut a deal with a Wall Street investment firm to manage its municipal waterworks.

Four years later, many of those crusty brown pipes have been replaced by shiny cobalt-blue ones, reflecting a broader infrastructure overhaul in Bayonne. But Ms. Adamczyk’s water and sewer bill has jumped so much that she is thinking about moving out of town.

My water company tried something like this, but fortunately the town was able to stop them.

Don't privatize public assets; if you do this is what you'll get - SCREWED.

The Usual Suspects, The Usual Outcome

Once again, an alleged terrorist who was well known to police and monitored by them seems to have carried out an attack, and then was killed by police:

Anis Amri, who has been expelled from Germany, is dead, according to the Italian government. He died with a police change after a normal road inspection in Milan. Whether this man really has something to do with the truck attack from Berlin is completely unclear.

Is it too much to ask for police to capture these people alive? It would be nice to have a trial once in a while.

Or is summary execution of an alleged perp what we now call "justice" for crimes of this type?

Why You Should Be Happy Hillary Lost

Let's start with a marginally related fact:

Nearly 95% of all new jobs during Obama era were part-time, or contract.

You can read the rest @
http://www.investing.com/news/economy-news/nearly-95-of-all-job-growth-during-obama-era-part-time,-contract-work-449057

Then add some probabilities:

1. No matter who won, we were going to get wars somewhere.

2. No matter who won, we were going to have social upheaval everywhere.

3. No matter who won, white people were going to die out in the US eventually.

So the only real difference between the Trump outcome and the Hillary one is how much longer the US will continue to be a nation state. Trump will keep it alive for a while, and believe me when I say you should be happy about that.

If you don't agree, just look at what Hillary did to Libya and Syria. Do you really think she would have treated the US any better than them?

Is Trump An Israeli Puppet ???

In one of his first semi-official acts of "diplomacy", Trump seems to be affirming he is another Israeli stooge:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/23/trump-intervenes-to-sideline-obama-over-israeli-settlements

It should be obvious to you where this is leading. If it isn't, check out this blog post:

http://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2016/09/will-trump-help-israel-build-third.html

Whether you are a believer or not, what Trump is doing will RADICALLY alter the balance of power in the world - the secular world AND the spiritual realm.

Is that what you voted for?

Would You Marry A Robot ???

Here is someone who wants to marry their robot:

A French woman has revealed she is in love with a robot and determined to marry it.

Lilly’s partner is a robot called InMoovator, who she 3D-printed herself and has been living with for a year.

On her Twitter page, where she goes by ‘Lilly InMoovator,’ she says: ‘I'm a proud robosexual, we don't hurt anybody, we are just happy.’

Now, Lilly is reportedly engaged to the robot and says they will marry when human-robot marriage is legalised in France.

You can read the rest and see the happy couple @
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4060440/Woman-reveals-love-ROBOT-wants-marry-it.html#ixzz4Tg5N55rc

Different strokes for different folks?

Here is some info about her "partner":

http://www.3ders.org/articles/20130119-inmoov-3d-printed-robot-that-grabs-holds-drops-points-finger.html

Unless she has modified it radically, this device does not qualify as a person. At the very least, officially recognized marriage should be the union of two or more persons, not between a person and an object.

Sorry, Lilly. I'm not buying it. At least not for now.
