Socialist-Democrat Jihadists
Crapping on America
Just as there
is a rising tide of Radical, Extremist Islamists in Europe and the Middle East,
we see a rising tide of fundamentalist and extreme socialists among politicians
and citizens in the United States. Each
share common traits: extreme intolerance for anyone who doesn’t share their
‘politically correct’ dogma and the use of lies and smear tactics to attack
conservatives.
Democrat-Socialists
want to ruin our country by expanding the STATE while eroding our
rights…Congress has been infiltrated by Communists and poorly educated citizens
seem to embrace the ideals of Marxism just as they did in the 1920-30s.
I’m unsure that average, hard-working Americans truly
understand how much elites in DC despise us. An FBI email released to the
public by the FBI Inspector General as he is investigating top level FBI agents
called Trump supporters “all poor to middle-class, uneducated, lazy P-O-Ss”
They
believe they’re superior to us both intellectually and morally…they want us to
give them our money and then drive our pickup off a cliff.
A national convention of the
Democratic Socialists of America took place in Atlanta last weekend.
The beauty of free speech is that we all have the opportunity to
listen in and see how
people relate with one another in their natural habitats.
In a moment, you’re
going to get a rare Dundee-esque look into how the democratic socialists of
America play politics.
(It’s hilariously terrifying.)
Before I show the clip, however, here’s something you might find shocking:
How to Love Socialism
As someone who values individual sovereignty, there’s a part of me that sympathizes with socialism…
But in a way that most socialists hate.
See, I don’t have a problem with socialism. Or even democratic socialism.
The main grievance I have with any political structure is bigness.

Some form of “democratic socialism,” after all, might be a great fit for a small community of 300 people who share the same values… goals… and lifestyles.
Nitty-gritty, here’s what it comes down to:
If it is voluntary, it is A-OK.
If you want to live in an “ecosexual” community that battles climate change by humping moss... you do you.

Why would I stop you?
If it is mandated by law… by force… at the point of a gun…
That’s where I start to quiver in paranoid fear at the potential implications.
As we all should.

When Socialism Works
As for the former, the voluntary form of socialism…
There is, indeed, precedent.
Take, for example, the Bruderhof community of Christians in the UK.
While the UK’s Mirror, in typical mainstream media fashion, paints the small community as “bizarre” and “radical”...

The truth is it’s the exact opposite of bizarre and
radical.
It’s safe, predictable, disciplined, and... well...
boring.
“Imagine,” says Sara Wallis, “a place where there is no debt, crime or homelessness. No one worries about money, mortgages or unemployment.”
In a normal day, the families get up at 6am, eat breakfast together at 6:15, then it’s school and work for everyone from 7:30am to 5pm, with a 2-hour communal lunch break.
At school, the kids study in the morning, but then “it’s like summer camp” in the afternoon.
There are obvious trade-offs.
To be a part of the community, the individual is forced to sacrifice quite a bit of his or her autonomy.
“It’s a community,” says Wallis, “where you are not always allowed to make decisions about your life, where families can be asked to move house if it’s deemed better for the greater good and where a traditional uniform from a bygone era is worn.”

Their work is not
just centered around just maintaining the community, however, says Wallis: “The
community collectively raises tens of thousands of pounds for charity.”
A socialist’s wet dream, right? Wrong.
There’s a problem with this type of socialism.
It requires three things absent in our modern day’s idea of the socialist utopia…
1] Personal responsibility and self-ownership
2] Abdication of autonomy.and free choice (rather than “restrictions for thee and none for me”)
3] Adherence to a clearly defined set of values (i.e., a loss of ambiguity and moral relativity)
As a voluntary option, however, where one can leave at any time, there’s no reason why someone couldn’t live a perfectly happy life in this form of “socialism.”

The Problem With “Big Socialism”
The problem with “Big Socialism,” apart from the aforementioned
necessary use of force, coercion, violence, and all that stuff that makes
society suck…
The advocate for “Big Socialism” wants a fantasyland wherein we can all be (but especially he) shielded from our own weak spots and negligence.
Rather than strengthening ourselves in the necessary fire of maturation… civilization is seen as a feather bed, a given, a constant.
And the only problem with civilization is not a matter of contribution, but that it has been doled out unfairly.
It’s not “open opportunity” for growth that economists mistakenly worry themselves with. It’s the lack of an open reward system.
It’s worse than a fairytale. (At least a fairytale has a moral.)
And it leads to insanity such as the video below, which is but a microcosm of Big Socialism…
Wherein, you’ll notice, every individual believes the most important thing isn’t to live in harmony with others based on clearly-defined principles and values (something social justice and socialist crowds in general severely lack, yet act as if they don’t)…
But to demand that others conform to an ever-shifting and highly ambiguous landscape of “sensitivities”...
Nobody is willing to sacrifice their discomfort for the “greater good,” and yet everyone expects everyone else to.
If that’s all Big Socialism has to offer…
No thank you, dear Democratic Socialists of America.
We’ll be fine without you.

Why
hard assets are so important given the current state of global markets…read and
view the following. Although it’s a
sales pitch [I’ve not reviewed the course advertise nor do I make any money
from its sale; however, it reinforces the message I’ve written about in this
blog.
Look: Boys n Gals! Watching CNN often feels like the inept
product of a university committee…better information comes from this
blog!
The
age of unrestricted growth is over. It was a good run. But now we’ve got to
live within certain ecological and resource budgets which means we’ve also got
to live within some fiscal and economic budgets.Virtually nobody in power wants to do either. Maybe a few here and there, most of them recently retired or close to it. The remainder all want business-as-usual (BAU) to continue, especially those that just hooked a finger around the brass ring of success.

Imagine, overnight, all
your assets, everything you own, dropping
1/100th, without warning!
Watch this report now to see how the government has “Stuffed up” once again, putting you and your family at risk of losing everything.
You will also learn what
you can do starting right now to protect your assets and even INCREASE your
asset portfolio almost overnight! (Many
concerned patriots like yourself have already used these financial tips to
secure their future no matter what happens!)
“It’s happening again… But this time, it will be MUCH WORSE that
the 2008 financial crisis!” – James Wright.
This video has been created by
James Wright, a military trained self-defense and survival expert. He is
a highly respected U.S. patriot and has trained thousands of men, women and
children to become more skillful when placed in a survival situation. Now
it’s your turn to have the knowledge and skills to become the hero!
Over the past decade, the world's central banks have
distorted the price of money by bringing interest rates to record lows. With
credit so cheap, asset prices have risen dramatically as companies and
governments have borrowed to the hilt. And now with the "Everything
Bubble" threatening to burst (perhaps in mid-bursting already?), we're
suddenly realizing that the phantom asset price gains were ephemeral, while the
debts are permanent. How will the economy cope with dangerously overleveraged
nations, industries and households? Not well. To learn more of this massive
problem and some potential solutions see: Steve Keen, professor of economics at Kingston
University in London and author of Debunking Economics.
A massive global currency
crisis is brewing. One that could very well topple a number of today's nations…
China is of course allowing the devaluation to occur. Previously,
it was entering money markets to buy Yuan in order to keep it from devaluing.
Now it’s just allowing the process to occur. This is China’s response to
Trump’s imposing an additional 10% tariffs on $300 billion of China imports
last week. It signals that the ‘trade’ war (now becoming an economic war) has
moved beyond tariffs.
Crude oil prices rise and fall. They traded below $11 in 1998,
reached $147 in 2008, but moved below $30 in 2016. Mid-East tensions and
inflationary expectations are rising. It’s reasonable to expect crude oil
prices will not fall much from current levels and might rise considerably.
To be clear, moving abroad does not wipe out
student debt. If you go that route, those loans will continue to exist, and
they’ll continue to accrue interest so that if you do return to the U.S.,
you’ll be in an even deeper hole. At the same time, it’s a lot more difficult,
if not impossible, for U.S. creditors to come after you for loan payments if
you’re living outside the country.
Here are my
ideas for new bill [s] to improve government…
>Since term limits never
seems to gain any traction perhaps we should entertain the idea of zero pay for
elected officials after their third term in office…give them their office,
expenses, health insurance while in office and a living allowance only=much
like our Founding Fathers and see how many decide to remain in office.
>Perhaps
we need to resurrect a new version of ‘war’ bonds, perhaps calling them
“government bailout bonds” to help pay off our national debt and/or to help pay
for our massive deficits and proposed new spending projects since fewer foreign
nations are buying our debt!
>An idea I've suggested before: Eliminate ALL
city/state & Federal taxes on the 1st $25K of income for all people. 41% of
citizens pay no Federal tax, many city/state taxes are killers for many. Tax
laws that encourage more US manufacturing/jobs & elimination of red tape
would help too.

RINOS in Congress & the fact many GOPers have retired [I miss Trey Gowdy] are hurting conservative support in Congress during a time when we really need them to stave off the hidden and not so hidden attacks on our nation by Congressional communists such as AOC, Omar, and others! Too many stupid young people suck up their Leftwing nonsense as they've never studied history [is it taught anymore]?
Conservatives need to unite against the socialist threat invading Congress and our nation!
Non-stop lies seems to spew forth from all these Leftwing nut cases. EX:
MSNBC anchor Nicole Wallace, who used to be a communications director for the Bush White House, told her viewers that President Trump is “talking about exterminating Latinos.”
Like Hitler said “tell a big lie often enough and people will believe it.’ This seems to be the strategy of the Democratic-Socialists.
