Crime in our nation is so low that 25 FBI agents had nothing better to do yesterday? They are not law enforcement. They are the boot of the DNC.

25 FBI agents with guns drawn reportedly raid pro-life activist's home to the horror of his family; he faces 11 years for pushing a man outside an abortion clinic | Blaze Media

They've ruined the image of the agency.

They've ruined the image of the agency.

This Orwellian nonsense doesnt even happen in sk called third world countries. What is their agenda?

 

[bowjijohn]

Their agenda, I believe, is the undermining of western democracy and freedom of the individual

their targets have been

white middle class males - that is where power has traditionally resided

National history- if you don’t know where you have come from you don’t know where you are going

the family unit - “the state will provide”

concept of two genders - fundamental principle of life

Religion- though I’m not religious, I do recognise how the principal creeds have guided morality, law and human interaction

Once every guiding compass has been challenged, changed, devalued and dismissed you have a people who no longer believe in anything, making them ripe and ready for new forms of control

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

Control to what end? What is their idea of a utopian world?
Even if they pulled it off in the USA that is only a small fraction of the world. The third world is busy trying to pull itself out of hum drum mediocrity, they would never embrace this.

 

[bowjijohn]

A good question, and I don’t really have much of an answer other than perhaps to look at it in terms of energy

I don’t know if this makes any sense, but here goes …

Cheap energy is perhaps on the decline, meanwhile we have seen an unprecedented rise in world population

In order to balance supply with demand, either there is a reduction in population or the mass of humanity will require greater control forcing it to use less

Now, that could happen naturally in some sort of Darwinian rebalancing, or it could be imposed

Everywhere you look there are authoritarian regimes on the rise - they would all much prefer control as it is in their nature to have dominion over others

Globalists, and multi-national corporations - supposedly believers in free market capitalistism - appear to resemble yet another form of authoritarian control

Capitalism has been high jacked it would seem?

or perhaps it is just failing?

China has long advocated power over profit.

I think these globalists think similarly - not a huge leap for them, after all what is money other than a mechanism of accumulation and distribution of power?

this might be all cobblers, but it is the way my thoughts have been going

If you think it is too far fetched what is the difference between China's ''social currency'' where central control ensures that you can only spend your money on approved activities, services and products, and paypal that will ban you from spending on things they don't approve of.

Imagine if all systems of spending controlled your choices in a similar way

Bought two tanks of gas this month? - That's your lot bud
You've bought two packs of beer this week - you can't have any more
No you can't have another trip to the burger joint
Forget it - you can't buy ammo as we don't approve

Etc etc

Yup....and a cashless country...they can do exactly that....

Interesting discussion between Russian think tanker Dimitri Simes and the ever dependable blow-hard Vladimir Solovyov (remarkably sane in this interview - last week he was advocating a nuclear strike on London during the queen's funeral). Simes is a serious political observer and provides a unique perspective on the current US political climate.

OK, so the answer is no. Late last night there were rumors online that Xi was under house arrest and a coup was underway in China.

Soooo.... this morning I decided to check here with you fine folks, and I don't see anyone posting so probably it was actually a big fat bundle of nothing.

It is indeed interesting to see how other people view our situation in the U. S.
This interview reminds me of discussions I have had in Namibia about American Football with Namibians who are passionate about rugby. They described our game as slow and soft. It was not until I realized they could only watch the NFL games with the long TV time outs that I understood where they got their opinions. It was when I described small high school Friday Night Lights games in Texas that they realized that American Football is not slow or soft. High School football is not as fast as rugby. Unlike rugby when the play starts someone is assigned to come hit you with extreme violence and this happens every play (why you need pads). In small schools, the very best players don’t come off the field. In Texas, temperatures at the start of the game, 7:30pm on Friday night, will be near 100 degrees and by the end of the game around 10:30pm it may have cooled off to the mid 80’s. High School football, where most Americans play the game, is vastly different than the NFL.

Make sure when you are trying to understand a people group get into the small towns and see what they think.
