Still More Sad Observations On The Way We Are Now

Honest Americans think they have the protection of the law. That is not true. Only the rich can now afford the law.

World War Two ended 80 years ago. Why do we still have troops occupying Germany?

The Soviet Union collapsed a quarter century ago and the Russian people want friendship with Western people. What reason can there be for NATO, which was created as protection against the Soviet Union. to keep expanding to their borders? Especially since it was specifically promised to them that NATO would never move an inch further East. Two reasons: 1) U.S. leaders are still fixed in a Cold War mentality, which is highly profitable to their campaign donors. 2) U.S. “foreign policy” controllers (neoconservatives and neoliberals) have a visceral hatred of Russia dating back to previous times. Neither of these reasons have anything to do with defending the American land and people.

How did so many of us succumb to the swindle that dropping bombs on innocent people halfway around the globe is “national defense.”

The U.S. provides more than 2/3rds of all expenses of NATO for the defense of Europe. No major European country spends even as much as 2% of the GDP on defense.

How is it that NATO expansion became an instrument for imposing WOKE policies on foreign nations?

When President Trump hinted about withdrawing from NATO, he was pounced on publicly and privately by every bigwig of the Deep State.

Perhaps we should start referring to the Deep State as the Dark State.

Putin makes most Western leaders look like ignorant, weak clowns. No wonder they hate him.

Ancient persons like me remember when dealing with Big Business by phone you reached polite, friendly people. Now you are forced to go through steps of punching numbers that are quite often irrelevant to your purpose. Think about it. You, a free American, are a robot obeying a machine. Even your doctor is doing it now. Or else you try to deal with a foreigner with incomprehensible singsong Hindu English.

We'd better get over our Russia Derangement Syndrome and quit poking the Russian bear. Russia is not at war with us (yet), but China is, whether we know it or not. The money grubbers who are ruling us know it, though, but they keep it covered up so as to keep open the cash flow. See Peter Schweitzer's book "Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans" to know the Truth.

I was taught in school that Russia was our biggest threat. Age and experience have led me now to believe that I was lied to - this empire just needed an enemy to point a finger at.

Make no mistake...our own politicians are the greatest threat to us, our freedoms, our wealth and this republic.

Their methods sometimes differ, sometimes they are in alignment...but in the end, they have sold us out to foreign invaders with this open border, by engaging in foreign wars and by spending us into oblivion.

I see a time where some people in this country will be trying hard to emigrate to Russia because we are on our way to our very own version of a third world Sh*&hole.

At least a Russian can say his leader cares about Russians.

I’ve been telling people for many years that our greatest threats to liberty and prosperity come not from Russia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea, et al, but from that putrid city in which the lying Abe Lincoln is deified.

Anyone who wants to understand the mindset of the globalist/deep state elite should watch these two videos covering a recent book Errand into the Wilderness of Mirrors by Graziano:

What did you think of the essay, Dr. Wilson?

see my comments on their website. I found numerous flaws.

Joseph Johnson

Yes, Dr. Wilson I see those flaws as well. Flawed just like people who absurdly compare Deep State treatment of Deplorables to Southern Slave masters treatment of slaves and some praising the Founders as abolitionist just because they may have criticized slavery.

A lesson in how geography, the lands where a culture calls home can dictate that culture’s future is the history of Russia and her tempestuous relationship to the other Christian entities. Not only has Russia been landlocked restricting her expansion when compared to the other colonizing cultures, Russia has always had a foot in both the East and the West. Today, with the exception of Hungary, Russia is the only world culture and nation-state standing in opposition to the globalists. Russia, under Vladimir Putin, is standing for “civilization,” more than fighting globalization, albeit in a much older and original form.
Promoting as I do the present need to see the big picture of human adaptation via culture, one that extends back to prehistory, Russian culture is noteworthy in that it tends to uphold a medieval order of things. While you can successfully trace competition, distrust, and cultural/geopolitical back to the Age of Empires, Russian culture has remained at odds with Europe, Canada, and the United States because she and her people are feudal at their core.
These deep-rooted cultural differences were confirmed by direct experience when I joined a group of fifty Americans and attended a conference with thousands of Russian-speaking people from all over the Soviet Union in Moscow in 1990. The incredible people we met during our visit all stated that we were “the first Americans that they had ever met. We encountered no barriers, only an openness and sentiments for peace. I am grateful to Tucker Carlson for his recent contribution to bridging this divide and taking many more Americans on a journey there.
I will never forget listening to an NPR program after my return home, about rural Russia months after the collapse of the Soviet system in 1991. The landed aristocrats had moved back to their pre-revolution manors, and as the past seventy years had never happened, those whose families worked those lands as serfs assumed the historic place in the feudal system. Every worker interviewed expressed not only their acceptance of a return to a feudal-type order, but also a willingness and very positive view of the future. Just because Alexander II signaled the end of the feudal system, thus ending servitude in Russia in 1861, it apparently satisfied individual and societal needs. When you consider Putin’s defense of Christianity in the form of the Eastern Orthodox Church, this to underscores the medieval feudal hierarchy.
NATO an alliance to defend the “West” from Russia turns seventy-five as I do this year. If ever there was the opportunity for peace and reconciliation it was those years 1989-1991. Every attempt by Russia to be fairly treated and her needs as a nation, and even more a distinct culture, one that has contributed greatly in both the science and humanities, has been rejected. Adding further insult to injury, after the end of the Cold War, NATO added twelve additional Eastern European nations and former Soviet satellites to their membership.
Not only is there absolutely nothing to gain today from poking and threatening “the Bear”, Russia is truly needed to fight the “civilized world’s” great existential threat posed by non-state actors and terrorists with nuclear weapons. Threats that, working together, Russia and the other NATO principals are uniquely qualified to address. It is time for the citizens to not only call for peace, but to actually learn about each other. The power of such future encounters I can attest to from my own involvement in perhaps the only grassroots exchange in both our county’s histories.
In an article entitled Is NATO Still Necessary, authors: Sharon Tennison, David Speedie, and Krishen Mehta detail how different the world and the national priorities are from seventy five years ago.

As long as the United States continues to spend close to 70 percent of its discretionary budget on the military, there will always be a need for enemies, whether real or perceived. Americans have the right to ask why such exorbitant “spending” is necessary and whom does it really benefit ? 37

Russia and the “defensive” alliance the United States helped to create after WW II have been in the background or foreground my entire seventy-five years. The year I was born there was an anti-NATO riot in Iceland known as riot breaks out in Austurvöllur square in Reykjavík, when Iceland joined NATO. The United States threatening to have the Ukraine NATO caused an invasion by Russia and years of a bloody proxy war with the West. Rather than seek peace, the United States maneuvered Finland to join in 2023, threatening Russia further.
United States/Russian relations continue to be a defining feud for civilizational dysfunction in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Considering the prognosis for a “future” of the Eu

“As long as the United States continues to spend close to 70 percent of its discretionary budget on the military, there will always be a need for enemies, whether real or perceived. Americans have the right to ask why such exorbitant “spending” is necessary and whom does it really benefit?”
Many of us do ask that two-part question. However most know that the questions are rhetorical in the first place. Those who answer (the usual deep-state suspects), know that the first answer truthfully is, “It isn’t.” And the second answer brings another question(whispered) from them, asking, “How much can we get away with taking?”
Kruchev would be proud of them. Our own are burying us.
