Been A Week, And … the following is quite clear.

 Post by Karl Denninger
The Burning Platform

• The cops will not protect you.  It is not their job, despite your belief that it is and their slogans on their cars. The police sat outside Pulse for three hours after knowing there was an active shooter inside. He was obviously still shooting at that point because when they did breach the wall he came out firing (and was killed) and as such it is essentially a certainty that some of the people who died could have lived but for the three hour delay at coming in which was an entire voluntary decision on the part of the cops.  Whatever hero worship beliefs you may hold toward police officers you had better disabuse yourself of that notion right now because that crap and the public’s “support” of same just got a bunch of people killed.  These so-called “police officers” should be getting the upturned middle finger everywhere they go from this day forward for their outrageous cowardice
• Said cops might shoot YOU by accident due to horrible trigger control.  So-called “suppressive fire” certainly has a place — fire that is “pointed” rather than aimed — as it is useful to try to force a bad guy to keep his head down, and thus not be able to aim at you.  But it is utterly unacceptable for a police officer to ever use same in any situation where civilians may be present; one of the first rules of shooting is that you own every round you discharge until it comes to rest.  If there are innocent people present suppressive fire is very likely to hit them and thus its use is the very definition of gross negligence.  The cops did so at Pulse and they should be indicted on manslaughter charges if, as I suspect, it proves up that they wound up hitting some of the patrons.  One of the best arguments for you being armed is that you will be held accountable for all of your rounds but the cops won’t be — as such you’re far more likely to be damn careful with where yours go while they literally don’t give a crap.

• The bad guys will always get their hands on whatever they want to commit their crimes with.  France has some of the most-restrictive firearms laws in the world, effectively banning from private ownership any semi-automatic weapon, yet a band of Muslim thugs murdered over 100 people with guns quite recently.   Anyone who does not respond to any politician putting forward “gun control” with STFU and an upturned middle finger can get the hell off my lawn because you are trespassing and worse, you’re advocating for murderers being able to ply their trade unstopped. National Review gets it, and you had better get it, because in our current environment the only person you can depend on in a situation like this is yourself. 
• “Gun control” will thus never prevent such a mass-shooting incident.  Ever.  Get that through your heads, folks.  Laws restricting the ownership and carrying of firearms only prevent you from being able to defend yourself in certain situations, with the “certain situation” varying from law to law. In addition obtaining a CCW directly invites harassment by officials that have no respect for the Second Amendment; if you have a CCW it comes up on their terminal whenever your plate or driver license is run by any cop, anywhere, at any time.  Further, the existing body of laws in Florida and virtually every other state makes the carrying of any firearm in any place such as that club by anyone other than law enforcement, even with a CCW, a crime.  As a result basically nobody did carry, except for one off-duty cop and he engaged the shooter.  Unfortunately he was badly outgunned and alone and the reason he was alone are those laws — and nothing else.
• If 10% of the roughly 300 people in that club had been armed there would have been 31 people with the capability to fire back instead of one and the assailant would have had no idea which patrons they were.  The murderous jackass would have certainly had his back to one or more of them during his assault.  While there is no guarantee of success in such a situation by any means having a gun in such a situation always beats no gun.
• You must, as a citizen and especially if you are a member of a minority group hated by these people or a woman, demand the full restoration of the 2nd Amendment’s four words — “shall not be infringed” — to full force and effect now. Nobody else is going to stop such an attack in the future which means if you happen to be where it occurs you either stop the attack or you die.  There is only one means which reliably improves your odds of being able to stop such an assault and that is a gun.  But a gun you do not have with you at the time is worthless; as such any constraint on your keeping and bearing of same, except where the government is willing and able to provide sufficient armed security (such as a courthouse), is a constraint that is both unconstitutional and may get you killed.  Even worse “gun-free zones” and laws restricting carry are nothing more than an advertisement to mass-murderers along with common thugs that scream “come shoot people here; they’re all unarmed!”  This may be uncomfortable for you to face and you may not like it, but it is nonetheless true.  This is not a game and these murderous bastards are serious in their hatred and willingness to kill; you either are prepared for that possibility if one or more of them shows up or you are dead.
• The assailant was reported to have fired over 200 rounds.  This means he reloaded at least six times.  If his last stand with the cops was one mag, that means five times he exposed himself to having his attack disrupted by the people who were present.  All the persons remaining alive had to do at that point was distract him sufficiently to keep him from getting the next magazine in his weapon.  Throwing beer bottles, glasses, drinks, chairs, tables, anything at him — or dog-piling the guy — would have likely been effective.  You must align your mind toward exactly this, because if a situation similar to this occurs and you have no gun your only rational opportunity to survive is to do exactly that as soon as the assailant runs his weapon dry.  You may well die doing it but you’re going to die anyway if you do nothing, and if you and the rest of the people there all react this way odds are you will stop the assault and save lives — probably including your own.
• Because the shooter had to reload at least five times while shooting the people inside Pulse if there was anyone that had not yet been shot with a firearm at the point he ran dry the first time they had several seconds to shoot him before he could reload!  Again, the laws that we the people have allowed to be passed and in many cases insisted on got most of those people at Pulse killed — and that’s a fact.  You must, right now, dedicate your life to the repeal of all such laws, the ejection from public office of any politician who is not in full support of same and the immediate and permanent economic boycott of all other persons and firms that are not and will not get behind the immediate restoration of the Second Amendment as written.  Our failure to do so up until now is directly responsible for the overwhelming percentage of deaths at Pulse; their blood is on our hands and we must make penance for same, starting now.  Period.
• There is no such thing as a “safe space”, the concept of “micro-aggression” is garbage, nobody is a special snowflake and the crap peddled by various people with regard to all of the aboove is both outrageous and a big part of the reason all these people are dead. Here’s looking at you, “progressives” and even supposedly “conservative” parents!   Incidentally, years ago I wrote on the outrageous actions of our elementary school that played the “give an award in a graduation ceremony for elementary to every special snowflake” game – after raising Hell with the Principal immediately following their “ceremony.”  The number of other parents that were outraged enough at this to show up in her office with me and raise hell with said Principal?  Zero.  Guess what — all of you who did not do so, either at that time or at any other, have blood on your hands because it is that very mentality of dependence and “special snowflake” status that was responsible for all 300 of the patrons in that bar not attacking the shooter as soon as he had to reload.  Let me be clear: If you’re a parent and have let this happen over the last 20 years, or worse, if you’re doing it now, you are directly responsible and culpable for indoctrinating your children into the very mindset that was directly responsible for the majority of the fatalities and injuries at Pulse.  May you burn in Hell for your actions and, more-importantly, inactions that had murderous consequences for dozens.  We have lost what happened on 9/11 over Pennsylvania from our collective consciousness, that loss was not an accident, it was and is due to your deliberate actions on a collective basis, and that, to a large degree, is why these people are dead!
• Our current President, the presumptive Democratic nominee, and a material number of Democrat Senators and Representatives, have tried to use this incident to further restrict firearms ownership and carry.  This will simply disarm more victims and lead to more deaths.  Those politicians who advance such policies are in fact cheering over the dead people in the LGBTQ community and are perfectly ok with more of you being murdered as a consequence, just so long as they get and keep their political power and appease the murderous religious zealots.  Our President can’t even say “Radical Islam” and he has refused to do anything about it for the entire seven years he has been in office.
  
  • The Democratic Party has claimed to be “aligned with” the LGBTQ community.  That same party’s State Department shut down an investigation of the mosque the assailant attended because it “unfairly targeted Muslims.”  The fact is that if you’re LGBTQ your chosen political party got your friends killed through their political correctness and willful disregard for the truth.  It may be time to change political affiliation, don’t you think?
  • The granting of “protected class” status has and will continue to get people killed until we put a stop to it.  There is a reason that our Declaration of Independence declared that all people are created equal; the premise of a “protected class” is inherently a violation of that principle and must be abolished as it creates the very situations that lead to what happened at Pulse.  There are reports that this murderous jackwad was known to repeatedly utter a desire to kill blacks and women, among others, yet it is claimed that he was not fired from his job because he was Muslim.  To those in the LBGTQ community, or other groups, who believe they have “benefited” from such protected-class status you signed your own death warrants by promoting any group obtaining such a status as it effectively prevented this jackwad from being ejected from his place of employment.  Worse, it also appears to have prevented his Mosque from being investigated fully and perhaps shut down where preaching on hating gays and the “appropriate penalty” for that behavior (death, I remind you) took place!  We must return to the premise that all men and women are created equal and that means the dismantling of all “protected class” barriers and “special snowflake” designations.  If those “protections” had not been in place this man’s mosque would have been raided and shut down and he would have been fired years ago — and almost-certainly would not have committed this act of terror.
  • Don’t ever run the “see something, say something” line of garbage around me.  Ever.  Unless, of course, you want to see my middle finger.  The shooter was noted as being “odd” in a gun store before the shooting; the employees saw something, called the FBI and they did nothing.  Likewise, before 9/11 the flight school where they were practicing hitting buildings in a simulator saw something and said something and the FBI did…. nothing.  Take your slogans and shove them up your ass; it’s where they belong.  Instead, be prepared, and that means be armed, and be mentally and physically prepared to use said defensive device(s) if necessary.  At the same time stop walking around in “condition white”; that is, oblivious to your surroundings!  Any law constraining your ability to be prepared in your daily life is one that will get you killed and thus one you must demand be repealed — right now.  You must back that demand up with the willingness to go on a personal, general strike and engage others to do the same.  If you are one of those who is unwilling to do what needs to be done and can be done legally to address this problem then STFU if and when you, or someone you love, dies as an indirect result of your intentional inaction.
  • These people are going to eventually get a WMD of some sort into this country or construct one here.  When they do they will use it, and it is odds-on that it will be used in one of our major cities.  We must secure our borders, know who is coming and going and what they are bringing with them.  If we do not you will wake up one morning to news that one of our cities has been incinerated, or worse, you will be incinerated in your sleep.  Again, this is not a game; these people mean it and their intentions are clear.  It is simply a matter of time before they accomplish what they set out to do if we continue to allow an open border and free movement of both people and material into our nation.
  • None of this is pleasant to contemplate or put effort into yet every bit of it is true, and if you have an ounce of common sense you know these are all facts, not opinions.  These people want to cut the heads off anyone who they deem “lesser”, including anyone who is gay or refuses to worship as they do, and they intend to treat all women as slaves, both sexually and otherwise.
    This is not a joke, it is not a game, and the whackjobs who hold these beliefs are willing to kill anyone who so much as raises their voice in opposition.  Our options are two: We either deal with this or our way of life in America is going to be destroyed.
     

"Fellow Americans, Wake Up & Escape The Matrix"

As we prepare to make a brief visit back to the Matrix, I thought this from Dr. Paul Craig Roberts to be appropriate...



Where Do Matters Stand?

Paul Craig Roberts

On the eve of World War II the United States was still mired in the Great Depression and found itself facing war on two fronts with Japan and Germany. However bleak the outlook, it was nothing compared to the outlook today.

Has anyone in Washington, the presstitute Western media, the EU, or NATO ever considered the consequences of constant military and propaganda provocations against Russia? Is there anyone in any responsible position anywhere in the Western world who has enough sense to ask: “What if the Russians believe us? What if we convince Russia that we are going to attack her?”

The same can be asked about China.

The recklessness of the White House Fool and the media whores has gone far beyond mere danger. What do the Russians think when they see that the Democratic Party intends to elect Hillary Clinton president of the US? Hillary is a person so crazed that she declared the president of Russia to be “the new Hitler” and organized through her underling, neocon monster Victoria Nuland, the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Ukraine. Nuland installed Washington’s puppet government in a former Russian province that until about 20 years ago was part of Russia for centuries.

I would bet that this tells even the naive pro-western part of the Russian government and population that the United States intends war with Russia.

Ever since Russia stood up to Obama over Syria, the Russians have been experiencing hostile propaganda and military operations on their borders. These provocations are justified by Washington and its NATO vassals as a response to “Russian aggression.” Russian aggression consists of nothing but obviously false assertions that Russia is about to invade the Baltics, Poland, and Romania and recreate the Soviet Empire, the Eastern European part of which, together with the former Russian provinces of Georgia and Ukraine, now belong to the American Empire.

The Russians know that the propaganda about “Russian aggression” is a lie. What is the purpose of the lie other than to prepare the Western peoples for war with Russia?

There is no other explanation.

Even morons such as Obama, Merkel, Hollande, and Cameron should be capable of understanding that it is extremely dangerous to convince a major military power that you are going to attack. To simultaneously also convince China doubles the danger.

Clearly, the West is incapable of producing leadership capable of preserving life on earth.

What can be done when the entire West demonstrates a death wish for Planet Earth?

Until the criminal regimes of Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama, American presidents from John F. Kennedy forward worked to reduce tensions with the Soviets. Kennedy worked with Khrushchev to reduce tensions caused by US missiles in Turkey and Soviet missiles in Cuba. President Nixon negotiated SALT I (the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty) and the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. President Carter negotiated SALT II, which was never ratified by the US Senate but was observed by the executive branch. President Reagan negotiated with Soviet leader Gorbachev the end of the Cold War. President George H.W. Bush in exchange for Gorbachev’s agreement to the reunification of Germany promised that NATO would not move one inch to the East.

All of these achievements were thrown away by the neoconized Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama regimes, each a criminal regime on par with Nazi Germany.

Today life on Planet Earth is far less secure than during the darkest days of the Cold War. Whatever threat global warming poses, it is miniscule compared to the threat of nuclear winter. If the evil that is concentrated in Washington and its vassals perpetrates nuclear war, cockroaches will inherit the earth.

I have been warning about the growing danger of a nuclear war resulting from the arrogance, hubris, ignorance, and evil personified by Washington. Recently, four knowledgable Russian-Americans spelled out the likely consequences of trying to drive Russia to submission with war threats: http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2016/06/03/41522/

See also: http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2016/05/28/as-our-past-wars-are-glorified-this-memorial-day-weekend-give-some-thought-to-our-prospects-against-the-russians-and-chinese-in-world-war-iii/

Don’t expect the brainwashed American population to have the moral conscience and fortitude to prevent nuclear war or even the intelligence to prevent their own vaporization. In a recent article in the Wall Street Journal Scott Sagan and Benjamin Valentino report that 59% of the US population support attacking Iran with nuclear weapons in the event that Iran sank one US Navy ship: http://www.wsj.com/articles/would-the-u-s-drop-the-bomb-again-1463682867

Republicans were much more likely than Democrats to approve attacking Iran with nuclear weapons with 81% of Republicans approving nuclear war compared to 47% of Democrats. Yet, the Democrats are behind Hillary who would be the first to use nuclear weapons. After all, a feminized woman has to prove how tough she is, just as Margaret Thatcher was “the Iron Lady.”

Before it it too late for Americans and all of humanity, arrogant Americans need to recall that “those who live by the sword, die by the sword.”

The economic picture is equally dismal and unpromising. The latest payroll jobs report was even more awful than reported. Hardly any new jobs were created, but what largely escaped reporting is the fact that the economy actually lost 59,000 full-time jobs.

Increasingly the US economy consists of part-time jobs that cannot support an independent existence. Thus, more Americans age 19-34 live at home with parents than independently with spouses or partners. Fully half of 25-year old Americans live in their childhood rooms in their parents’ homes.

This is the “New Economy” that the filthy lying neoliberal economists promised would be reward for the American work force giving up their manufacturing and professional skill jobs to foreigners. What a monstrous lie the neoliberal economists told so that corporate executives and shareholders could put into their own pockets the living wage of the American work force. These neoliberal economists, and, alas, libertarian “free market” ones, have not been held accountable for their impoverishment of the American work force deeply buried in debt with no future prospects.

Those few Americans who have any awareness are beginning to realize that the One Percent and the western governments that serve them are re-establishing feudalism. The brilliant and learned economist, Michael Hudson, has labeled our era the era of neo-feudalism.

He is correct. The majority of young Americans come out of university heavily indebted, primed for debtor prison. When half of 25-year olds cannot marry and form households, how can anyone believe that housing sales and prices are rising except as a result of speculative investors banking on rental income from a population that cannot even pay its student loans.

The United States is the sickest place on earth. There is no public or political discussion of any important issue or of the multiple crises that confront America or the crises that America brings to the world.

The American people are so stupid and unaware that they are capable of electing a criminal and a warmonger like Hillary president of the United States and be proud of it.

These “tough” Americans are so frightened of hoax dangers, such as “Muslim terrorists” and “Russian aggression” that they willingly sacrificed their depleted pocketbooks, the Constitution of the United States—an act of treason on the part of the American people who utterly failed their responsibility to protect the Constitution—and their own liberty to a universal police state that has all power over them.

It is extraordinary that once-proud, once-great European peoples look for leadership from a country of moronic non-entities who have pissed away the liberty, security, and prosperity that their Founding Fathers gave to them.

Fellow Americans, if you care to avoid vaporization and, assuming we do avoid it, live a life other than serfdom, you must wake up and realize that your most deadly enemy is Washington, not the hoax of “Russian aggression,” not the hoax of “Muslim terrorism,” not the hoax of “domestic extremism,” not the hoax of welfare bankrupting America, not the hoax of democracy voting away your wealth, which Wall Street and the corporations have already stolen and stuck in their pockets.

If you cannot wake up and escape The Matrix, your doom will bring the doom of the planet.

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal. He was columnist for Business Week, Scripps Howard News Service, and Creators Syndicate. He has had many university appointments. His internet columns have attracted a worldwide following. Roberts' latest books are The Failure of Laissez Faire Capitalism and Economic Dissolution of the West, How America Was Lost, and The Neoconservative Threat to World Order.

A Russian Warning
We, the undersigned, are Russians living and working in the USA. We have been watching with increasing anxiety as the current US and NATO policies have set us on an extremely dangerous collision course with the Russian Federation, as well as with China. Many respected, patriotic Americans, such as Paul Craig Roberts, Stephen Cohen, Philip Giraldi, Ray McGovern and many others have been issuing warnings of a looming a Third World War. But their voices have been all but lost among the din of a mass media that is full of deceptive and inaccurate stories that characterize the Russian economy as being in shambles and the Russian military as weak—all based on no evidence. But we—knowing both Russian history and the current state of Russian society and the Russian military, cannot swallow these lies. We now feel that it is our duty, as Russians living in the US, to warn the American people that they are being lied to, and to tell them the truth. And the truth is simply this:

If there is going to be a war with Russia, then the United States
will most certainly be destroyed, and most of us will end up dead.

Let us take a step back and put what is happening in a historical context. Russia has suffered a great deal at the hands of foreign invaders, losing 22 million people in World War II. Most of the dead were civilians, because the country was invaded, and the Russians have vowed to never let such a disaster happen again. Each time Russia had been invaded, she emerged victorious. In 1812 Nepoleon invaded Russia; in 1814 Russian cavalry rode into Paris. On June 22, 1941, Hitler’s Luftwaffe bombed Kiev; On May 8, 1945, Soviet troops rolled into Berlin.

But times have changed since then. If Hitler were to attack Russia today, he would be dead 20 to 30 minutes later, his bunker reduced to glowing rubble by a strike from a Kalibr supersonic cruise missile launched from a small Russian navy ship somewhere in the Baltic Sea. The operational abilities of the new Russian military have been most persuasively demonstrated during the recent action against ISIS, Al Nusra and other foreign-funded terrorist groups operating in Syria. A long time ago Russia had to respond to provocations by fighting land battles on her own territory, then launching a counter-invasion; but this is no longer necessary. Russia’s new weapons make retaliation instant, undetectable, unstoppable and perfectly lethal.

Thus, if tomorrow a war were to break out between the US and Russia, it is guaranteed that the US would be obliterated. At a minimum, there would no longer be an electric grid, no internet, no oil and gas pipelines, no interstate highway system, no air transportation or GPS-based navigation. Financial centers would lie in ruins. Government at every level would cease to function. US armed forces, stationed all around the globe, would no longer be resupplied. At a maximum, the entire landmass of the US would be covered by a layer of radioactive ash. We tell you this not to be alarmist, but because, based on everything we know, we are ourselves alarmed. If attacked, Russia will not back down; she will retaliate, and she will utterly annihilate the United States.

The US leadership has done everything it could to push the situation to the brink of disaster. First, its anti-Russian policies have convinced the Russian leadership that making concessions or negotiating with the West is futile. It has become apparent that the West will always support any individual, movement or government that is anti-Russian, be it tax-cheating Russian oligarchs, convicted Ukrainian war criminals, Saudi-supported Wahhabi terrorists in Chechnya or cathedral-desecrating punks in Moscow. Now that NATO, in violation of its previous promises, has expanded right up to the Russian border, with US forces deployed in the Baltic states, within artillery range of St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city, the Russians have nowhere left to retreat. They will not attack; nor will they back down or surrender. The Russian leadership enjoys over 80% of popular support; the remaining 20% seems to feel that it is being too soft in opposing Western encroachment. But Russia will retaliate, and a provocation or a simple mistake could trigger a sequence of events that will end with millions of Americans dead and the US in ruins.

Unlike many Americans, who see war as an exciting, victorious foreign adventure, the Russians hate and fear war. But they are also ready for it, and they have been preparing for war for several years now. Their preparations have been most effective. Unlike the US, which squanders untold billions on dubious overpriced arms programs such as the F-35 joint task fighter, the Russians are extremely stingy with their defense rubles, getting as much as 10 times the bang for the buck compared to the bloated US defense industry. While it is true that the Russian economy has suffered from low energy prices, it is far from being in shambles, and a return to growth is expected as early as next year. Senator John McCain once called Russia “A gas station masquerading as a country.” Well, he lied. Yes, Russia is the world’s largest oil producer and second-largest oil exporter, but it is also world’s largest exporter of grain and nuclear power technology. It is as advanced and sophisticated a society as the United States. Russia’s armed forces, both conventional and nuclear, are now ready to fight, and they are more than a match for the US and NATO, especially if a war erupts anywhere near the Russian border.

But such a fight would be suicidal for all sides. We strongly believe that a conventional war in Europe runs a strong chance of turning nuclear very rapidly, and that any US/NATO nuclear strike on Russian forces or territory will automatically trigger a retaliatory Russian nuclear strike on the continental US. Contrary to irresponsible statements made by some American propagandists, American antiballistic missile systems are incapable of shielding the American people from a Russian nuclear strike. Russia has the means to strike at targets in the USA with long-range nuclear as well as conventional weapons.

The sole reason why the USA and Russia have found themselves on a collision course, instead of defusing tensions and cooperating on a wide range of international problems, is the stubborn refusal by the US leadership to accept Russia as an equal partner: Washington is dead set on being the “world leader” and the “indispensable nation,” even as its influence steadily dwindles in the wake of a string of foreign policy and military disasters such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen and the Ukraine. Continued American global leadership is something that neither Russia, nor China, nor most of the other countries are willing to accept. This gradual but apparent loss of power and influence has caused the US leadership to become hysterical; and it is but a small step from hysterical to suicidal. America’s political leaders need to be placed under suicide watch.

First and foremost, we are appealing to the commanders of the US Armed Forces to follow the example of Admiral William Fallon, who, when asked about a war with Iran, reportedly replied “not on my watch.” We know that you are not suicidal, and that you do not wish to die for the sake of out-of-touch imperial hubris. If possible, please tell your staff, colleagues and, especially, your civilian superiors that a war with Russia will not happen on your watch. At the very least, take that pledge yourselves, and, should the day ever come when the suicidal order is issued, refuse to execute it on the grounds that it is criminal. Remember that according to the Nuremberg Tribunal “To initiate a war of aggression… is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.” Since Nuremberg, “I was just following orders” is no longer a valid defense; please don’t be war criminals.

We also appeal to the American people to take peaceful but forceful action to oppose any politician or party that engages in irresponsible, provocative Russia-baiting, and that condones and supports a policy of needless confrontation with a nuclear superpower that is capable of destroying America in about an hour. Speak up, break through the barrier of mass media propaganda, and make your fellow Americans aware of the immense danger of a confrontation between Russia and the US.

There is no objective reason why US and Russia should consider each other adversaries. The current confrontation is entirely the result of the extremist views of the neoconservative cult, whose members were allowed to infiltrate the US Federal government under President Bill Clinton, and who consider any country that refuses to obey their dictates as an enemy to be crushed. Thanks to their tireless efforts, over a million innocent people have already died in the former Yugoslavia, in Afghanistan, in Iraq, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, the Ukraine, Yemen, Somalia and in many other countries—all because of their maniacal insistence that the USA must be a world empire, not a just a regular, normal country, and that every national leader must either bow down before them, or be overthrown. In Russia, this irresistible force has finally encountered an immovable object. They must be forced to back down before they destroy us all.

We are absolutely and categorically certain that Russia will never attack the US, nor any EU member state, that Russia is not at all interested in recreating the USSR, and that there is no “Russian threat” or “Russian aggression.” Much of Russia’s recent economic success has a lot to do with the shedding of former Soviet dependencies, allowing her to pursue a “Russia first” policy. But we are just as certain that if Russia is attacked, or even threatened with attack, she will not back down, and that the Russian leadership will not “blink.” With great sadness and a heavy heart they will do their sworn duty and unleash a nuclear barrage from which the United States will never recover. Even if the entire Russian leadership is killed in a first strike, the so-called “Dead Hand” (the “Perimetr” system) will automatically launch enough nukes to wipe the USA off the political map. We feel that it is our duty to do all we can to prevent such a catastrophe.

Earth Changes

       Living full time in a movable abode, one is much more aware of your surroundings when it comes to weather, including the wind ( you pay more attention when you have a wind charger) Sun which also supplies you with electrical energy, clouds (which can reduce your available electrical  usage),  high and low temperatures when insulation is minimum compared to a dwelling anchored to the ground and insulated. 


   The point being that when you are more sensitive to Mother Earths variations it is noce to find one who makes it their life work to give alternative information, from the main stream.

So I would  like to invite you to check out the new web site EarthChanges.org.
