We are just a group of retired spooks that discuss things that you’ll not find anywhere else. It makes us unique. Take a look around. Learn a thing or two.
Well, California Governor Gavin Newsom has abandoned plans to build a high-speed railroad between Los Angeles and San Francisco. After spending billions of dollars in funds, much of it from the Federal government, the Governor said that the project should be shelved.
Managerial elites, Of Two Minds - The sole output of America's managerial elite is self-serving hubris. The Deep State can't be fired, nor does it ever stand for election.
As systems become more complex, the need for a professional class to manage the overwhelming complexity grows.
"Stakeholders" multiply in endless profusion, dooming every project to a glacial process that increases the sums paid to manage the glacial process and pushes the final cost to the moon.
The managerial elite always has one answer for every problem: give us more money.
The system is broken, and the managerial elite will keep it broken because it serves their interests to keep it broken.
Some History
It all began ten years ago. Back then, President Obama called for a network of high-speed railroads to criss-cross the country “within 25 years”. The nation roared with glee and cheering his forward thinking.
Perspicacious = To be far-sighted in understanding things.
At that time, of course, the rest of the world had already implemented High Speed Rail. America was going to get involved in a game of “catch up”.
Only this time, progressive values and liberal management would lead the way.
His plan, began its’ implementation through California.
Of course, compared to the rest of the world, it’s pretty modest. The idea was to link the two largest cities in California together. This would occur by placing rail lines through the large entirely rural California valley. The top speed would be limited to 220 MPH, which is the global norm. The most ambitious plans would have 800 miles of rail line, paid in part by the Federal government and bonds issued by the (insolvent) California government.
Killing the High Speed rail program.
The decision to cancel this program was welcomed by Conservatives, and derailed by Liberals. Both for reasons related towards political considerations. However, in my mind, everyone loses.
What’s worse, rubbing salt in the wound, comes President Trump. He rightfully questioned the decision to kill the project. As a businessman, you do not casually start of kill things without study, and an analysis of the consequences. Obviously, there were concerns that the decision to kill the project were not carefully thought out.
Seriously. It is like going to a restaurant and expecting to pay $100 for the meal. You wait and you wait, and you wait. Finally, the waitress comes to the table. The bill is $2000.
You get angry!
Where is my food? Why has it taken so long? What the heck are the cooks doing? What do I have to show for all my time; for all my money? What?
And the waitress looks at you condescendingly, and points to the toothpick that is on that table.
"You have a toothpick", she says.
Thus, in summary, and rightfully so, President Trump demanded that California be fiscally responsible and return the Federal funds given to them.
California fights back and builds the High Speed rail… somewhat.
These were funds earmarked for the doomed program. However, the Governor rebuked him. He argued that no funds needed to be returned. He said the state would still build a portion of the system. It would build the section still under construction in the rural Central Valley.
You demand to see the Manager, or better yet, the owner of the restaurant. A few minutes, he comes out of his office. You interrupted him from playing the game of poker he had with the other workers.
We wipes the beer off of his beard and takes a puff of his cigar.
"Wadda ya want, bub?"
You calmly, and clearly, state that you paid for a meal. And that you want the meal, and you want it at the price that is advertised on the menu.
He snorts!
"Sure, wadda ever ya say. That will be another $4000."
You get angry, and suddenly all the workers in the restaurant come out and line up with the Manager. They start yelling at you. Calling you names like "deplorable", "uneducated hicks", and "racist". They carry on so much, that you eventually slither out of the restaurant.
You cut your losses. You reason, at least you got a toothpick.
So, California is going to build the high-speed rail after all.
By doing so, he could legally claim that he met the requirements that California build a High Speed rail line. It wouldn’t need to be very much rail. Not even a few hundred miles or so of rail. Five, ten or fifteen miles would be all that would be needed.
Everyone files back into the back room, and continues their game of poker. Another case of beer is brought in. No one notices the line of people at the front door waiting to be served and led to their tables.
His advisors suggested something a little more practical, though. So a little over a hundred miles will (some day… eventually) be built.
Everybody gets their cut…
Once the labor unions get their cuts, the environmentalists get their shares, the local labor bosses get to skim off some money, and the politicians in Sacramento each get another new mansion, can the tiny amount of rail line be built.
This couple of miles of track would be enough to prove that the rail was built in “good faith”. (And not a scheme to siphon Federal funds into the pocket of various special interest groups.)
So, there! You evil non-progressive, you!
Progressive justification for the “new” High Speed rail.
Of course, the need for a High Speed rail to travel a distance that a person could drive in a little over an hour is rather silly. However, the Governor denied that it would be a “train to nowhere.”
He justified his plans stating that many people would want to abandon their cars for public transportation between Merced and Bakersfield. (Then use public transport, such as taxis and public buses, to get around in those cities.)
Of course, it is debatable whether he actually believes this statement personally. Were it to function he, and his family would never use it. They are members of the elite. They travel by private jet. They don’t travel by “cattle car” like the rest of us.
Though the administration bills the program as "high-speed rail," most U.S. projects won't reach the speeds seen in Europe and Asia.
-Obama doles out money for High Speed Rail
He defended his decision on reasons of fiscal responsibility. (Of course he would. It “sounds good”, like the words “fresh”, “green”, and “healthy” does.)
California needed the money for it’s many social programs. It needed the money to support the influx of illegal migrants, and it needed the money to support the rising number of unemployed poor. California needed the money for yet another study on the endangered bo-bo-tiutsi fly, and the impact on plastic straws have on “global warming”.
Important things. Don’t ya know.
He would not give any of money back.
Not that he could mind you. Too many people accepted bribes. Too many studies" on the dangers of coffee and the need for LGBT education in Kindergarten needed to be funded. Where the heck do you all think all those crazy radical progressives get their money to live off of? Do you actually believe that they work in a company like a normal person would?
After spending over 77 Billion dollars, he said the state would not send any money back to the federal government. He did not want it to be spent by President Donald Trump.
China started planning and implementing High Speed rail back in the 1990’s. Today, High Speed rail transport in China is ubiquitous. It is “old news”. Eventually, in China, all rail will be replaced with High Speed Transport.
Construction has been underway for the last couple of years on a section of 220 miles of rail. This section consists of the system from Silicon Valley to the Central Valley, with expected passenger service in 2025. (Now, delayed until 2035.) The announcement to kill the plan has resulted in a much smaller stretch of rail being realized.
The fares were expected to average $89 per person per trip.
Which is about 2x (two times more expensive) than Chinese High-Speed rail, cover a mere tiny percentage of a fraction of the distance that Chinese rail covers, and start roughly 35 years later than when China built their first High Speed rail line.
Not that it matters. Just sayin'
All of this is silly.
In reality, this is not a technical issue, or even a fiscal issue. It is a political issue. It is a mechanism from which politicians, beholding to donors will be able to pay them back for the money that they lent to the progressive liberal democrats.
It is so very obvious, and so blatant, I will not insult the reader by showing pages and pages of justification. If you can’t see the reality, then, maybe you need to go back to school and learn some discernment skills. You know, like elementary school.
77 Billion Dollars and NOTHING to show for it!
The corruption in the USA, and California is so very bad, that 77 Billion dollars and 20 years can not complete a single spur line of high speed rail! Well, China started at the same time as California did.
Look where China is today…
Chinese High Speed Rail
Now, China just so happened to decide to implement High Speed rail at the same time that California did. The result is quite different. Why?
Well, let’s do some comparisons shall we.
First off, let me be clear that NOT every line is high-speed rail. This is a work in process. Secondly, it it also be clear that China is an enormous nation and right now the High Speed rail only connects major population centers.
Today, these are the active High-speed rail lines…
Here is a typical Chinese bullet train. (I just cannot show you any United States bullet trains because they haven’t even been constructed yet. Though there are some nice colorful mock-ups. See above.)
Oh, and I must add that the cardboard, wood and fiberglass (hollow) mock up of the California high speed rail COST MORE than an actual high-speed locomotive by many millions of dollars. Consider that will ya!
Inside a Chinese bullet train
Bullet trains are all over China. There is an enormous network of them. They are very comfortable to ride in, and their cost is reasonable. Notice how calm the ride is. Note the water in the bottle.
And…
America’s Plan for a Progressive Future
Under Obama, and other progressive leadership in the seaboard corridors, they had (and still have) a very progressive vision for America. In their vision, the states would be discarded in favor of a new America of “regions”.
States would become obsolete, and over time, discarded.
Administration regions would replace independent states.
High Speed Rail would connect the administrative centers.
Control would be centralized in the mega-cities on both the East and the West. Thus, High-Speed trains would cart people through the barren “waste lands” between the “two important” regions of the United States.
As shown in this map from the New York Times…
Ah, but the corruption prevents the ideal.
That looks so nice, but it’s never gonna happen. It implies that enough money will be available to manage and manufacture the progressive utopia.
As soon as Obama came to office he started throwing money at this. And, like high-absorbancy disposable dish towels, the money evaporated.
Just check out the amazing amount of corruption. Check out this map from the US government. Where did the money go? Eh?
Comparisons of High Speed Rail
I looked at various sites on the internet, and it’s a hoot how everyone tries to justify the superiority of Amtrak compared to China’s bullet trains. They imply that China’s bullet trains are nothing to be proud of.
It’s funny, but sad too. You know, the first step in recognizing you have a problem is to face up to it, and announce that you have a problem. (12 step program for those of you who don’t know the reference.)
They do one on one comparisons and come to the conclusion that they are similar. What a laugh. The trains are similar. How can you possibly come to that conclusion?
The one article (linked above) starts off straight forward enough…
But then it starts to show a bunch of photos how they are really just pretty similar, aside from the price, and speed. As if the train stations are identical. (Have you been to an Amtrak train station lately? Talk about a run-down 1960’s era ghetto.)
Really?
Here’s a screen capture from the article listed above.
What’s what the article says.
Then, it shows this following picture…
Is that the only difference? A hat?
Really? Are you so dumb founded blind in political correctness not to notice the differences right in front of your face?
In China, the stewardesses are all female. They are all attractive, and rated in beauty, physical appearance, and weight. They are all under 35 years of age. They are trained to be demure and act very respectfully.
In America on Amtrak, there are no age, appearance, weight or gender requirements. The attendants can be polite or not, fat or not, ugly or not, burly or not. In the progressive reality that is America today that is the reality. But don’t deny what is right in front of your eyes just for the sake of political correctness.
Chinese High Speed Train Appearances
This is what the interior of one looks like…
And here’s the view outside…
Oh, and while I am at it, here is what the over all appearance and image that the Chinese bullet trains have in China and around the world.
In contrast Amtrak is viewed as sluggish, antiquated, and brutish. Check out the video and then go ride on Amtrak to see what I am talking about.
Train Stations
Here’s a quick comparison in train stations.
First, we check out Amtrak’s stations. The photo below is a historical station known as Sandpoint. Now, don’t get the wrong idea.
I do happen to love history and American rail has had so many absolutely awesome train stations. What about the one on Allegheny avenue in Pittsburgh, or the massive complex in Detroit? Ah, but they are all gone now.
All that remains are little quonset hut kind of affairs. You know the kind used to give the impression of progressive advancement by tearing down the old. Sad.
Here’s the current interior of the Amtrak rail station in Jamestown, Pennsylvania. It looks like the rest of the world has passed it by. It’s really, really sad.
And, I don’t like it one bit.
Now, let’s look at the train stations that you would encounter were you to board a train in China. This is from the 3nd tier city Tianjin. It’s third tier, ya all! It’s just a little Po-dunk city.
Ask yourself how, and why can China do this, but much bigger, and better USA cannot? Maybe fighting eight simultaneous wars and spending 65% of welfare benefits on illegal aliens has something to do with it. Eh?
Maybe. But I also like to think that part of it is because China is a meritocracy.
Here is Amtrak rail. This is what passes for American High Speed rail today. You know, as someone who can compare different ways of doing things, it is just so obvious the crime, decadence and corruption at Amtrak is just horrible.
For all the money being thrown at Amtrak, this is the best America can do? Really?
America has so much to be proud of, yet we have let our achievements grow fallow, and our leadership become corrupt. We, our parents, and our grandparents are all responsible for the sad, sad state of affairs in America today.
Chinese Stewardess Training
In China, it is very important to maintain a very positive image. This is reflective of the company, the brand and the service that one provides. Thus, there is a very rigorous selection process to become a stewardess on a Chinese train, and a long and involved training program.
Here is a video showing how the stewardess are trained to walk.
And, here are how they are trained to act and greet people…
Of course, the criteria in the United States is quite different.
The American rail system is controlled by Amtrak and it is a government funded agency. As such, it is very progressive, and very “modern” and “diverse”. You won’t find attractive women, or training on how to behave at Amtrak. Instead you will find other criteria that is “more important” being used.
Some other criteria…
These other criteria are things that you cannot speak about, but everyone knows about.
You know, like how certain famous people got their children into Harvard and Yale, or like how some cute starlets got their start in Hollywood by visiting a couch.
It is like how you have to show some cleavage to get the Pennsylvania department of transportation to fill the pot-hole in front of your house, or how the Mexican dishwasher gets paid for washing pots and pans. That is how things are really done in America today. If you haven’t experienced this, then you haven’t really experienced the America that the “rest of us” has to endure.
Eh? Maybe you have a silver spoon in your mouth. Or a Starbucks coffee. It’s the same thing really.
Reality. You know, like the child molester teacher that lives down the street, or the potholes in the road that never get fixed, or the “extra” “fees” that you have to pay the gal behind the window to get some attention to your issue.
Ah, all so very progressive.
Just like things used to be done in the Soviet Union under Stalin, or how things were done in China under Mr. Mao. So equal. So diverse. So progressive.
“The toilets in your car are not working anymore. Please, use the ones of the car in front of you. Do not enter the sleeper cars. I repeat…”
The day has barely started when we hear the announcement. I am exhausted after a sleepless night on a half-reclined chair."
-Roaming about on Amtrak
Just how far did America go down the drain?
It’s hard to vocalize. I like to think that the best years of Amtrak were in the 1930’s. It was a time that I did not experience. All that I could picture were the faded images of massive locomotives, and advertisements of luxury travel inside old Life and National Geographic magazines.
I’m pretty saddened by it, actually.
1:30pm: We are stopped and the power disappears with a buzzzzz.
No AC, no lights, no nothing.
Soon, it becomes quite hot. The electricity has had hiccups before (ask Mark who has to re-set our router each time), but never this long. Apparently, one of our engines has a problem.
The power returns, the passengers sigh; the train is still motionless.
-Roaming about on Amtrak
7:25pm: The train stops in Cleburne, TX to offload the passengers going to Oklahoma who take a bus from here, because they missed their connection in Fort Worth.
We sit at this station for half an hour and don’t know why. This is becoming infuriating! No information, just a grumbling crowd.
The way Amtrak “solves” problems is the epitome of inefficiency. On all accounts.
-Roaming about on Amtrak
Like most passengers on the Texas Eagle that day (and, believe it or not, but all the trains we took were fully booked), we are tempted to say “Never Again”!
Long-distance train journeys have a certain appeal. Each one is an adventure. The ones on Amtrak even more so, it appears.
What we have learned first-hand is that all the rumors about Amtrak are true. The company is ran very inefficiently and nobody seems to care about multiple-hour delays, reroutings or change of itineraries/schedules except for the passengers.
It was an experience, but we are not jumping to do it again. Beware: anyone traveling on Amtrak’s long distance trains should have lots of time, and no connections!
-Roaming about on Amtrak
Let me tell you Liesbet that train looks absolutely first class compared to our train and trip overnight from New York to New Orleans.
What a nightmare trip!!
Let me guess why the trains are so bad going down south. Disgusting!! The train was on freight lines so was very bumpy and very uncomfortable.
We did book first class, the guy laughed when we asked where that was. Yes, we were stood out like a sore thumb on the train!!

High Speed Rail elsewhere
The rest of the world uses High Speed rail. It’s a mature technology, and provides benefit to the people who live in the nations that have it.
Everyone has it. Except the United States.
Don’t believe me, well then take a look at these maps here. Here’s Europe.
And how about tiny South Korea…
Japanese High Speed Rail…
And, here’s Australia’s High Speed rail network (in construction)…
Here is the high speed rail in Brazil. It connects the largest cities for low cost, and fast transport for it’s citizens.
Here’s the high speed rail network for Italy…
Even tiny Java has high speed rail. What is America’s malfunction? Eh?
Russia is in a class by itself
Russia has had rail for as long as the United States. However, they have worked out various agreements with the Chinese, and are now upgrading their trans-Siberian route to be High Speed Rail. And what an upgrade it is.
I mean, well I really admire Chinese High Speed rail, but OMG the Russians have taken it to the next step! And you can find out about their “budget” travel HERE.
Here’s a map of what it looks like.
And here are some cross sections of the various cars. I particularly like the first class cabins. Maybe I can pretend to be James Bond and travel West with a Femme Fatale. Eh?
A femmefatale is a stock character of a mysterious and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations. She is an archetype of literature and art. -Wikipedia
The Golden Eagle is your luxurious hotel-on-wheels. Unpack just the once and settle into your well- appointed and comfortable en-suite cabin as you begin this voyage of a lifetime. One of your cabin attendants, available at all times, will be on hand to look after all of your needs.
The Golden Eagle, comprising three categories of cabins, featuring state-of-the-art amenities, and all offering en-suite facilities, is the only private train of its kind operating in this part of the world.
Our newly introduced Imperial Suites are the most spacious cabins on the Golden Eagle, and on any train in Russia. The Gold and Silver Class accommodation has been cleverly designed to maximise the available space as cabins covert from a sitting area by day into a comfortable sleeping accommodation by night.
On the occasions where we travel by day, your cabins provides a calm, personal space in which to read, enjoy a DVD or simply watch the landscape unfold through the large picture window and the facility to adjust the air-conditioning for your own personal comfort.
All three classes of cabin benefit from an evening turndown service and the services of a cabin attendant who is on call 24 hours a day. Our onboard cabin attendants are highly regarded by our guests for their impeccable service. In each cabin you will also find an excellent selection of L’Occitane shower gels and shampoos, complemented by premium bath robes, slippers and a hairdryer.

Causes and Commentary
America is out of pace with the rest of the world in regards to high-speed, modern mass transit. America relies on personal automobiles, the airlines, and an antiquated railroad system that is corrupt and bureaucratic.
There are many reasons why America is unable to have high speed rail. The primary ones are politics, and corruption associated with politics.
In America, criminal enterprise that siphons enormous taxpayer funds into various “programs” has been institutionalized and made legal. These moneys are no longer available to American taxpayers for programs that support their life, their community, or their future.
They are siphoned away for “other” purposes.
An Intolerable Situation.
Personally, I find this situation intolerable, as I have a personal love and affinity for AMERICAN rail. As a boy, I used to walk the railroad tracks that wound in and out of the hills of Western Pennsylvania. I used to explore the tunnels and old rail side communities. I used to stand in awe to those enormous engines that hauled the coal from the depths of the earth.
My first train ride was to university and I traveled the “red eye” from Erie, PA to Syracuse NY. I fell in love with rail from that moment on.
I loved everything about it.
I loved the stewards in the dining car with their white starched uniforms, to the big burly train conductor and his cheery announcements. I loved watching the countryside go by, and having a 5am breakfast of coffee and toast in the dining car.
I lament this loss, and this post is my anger that corrupt people have taken something so wonderful, so fantastic, and turned it in to what it is today. Today it is nothing more than a failed business model staffed with the bland and the politically acceptable.
It is my hope; my prayer that other lovers of AMERICAN rail will wake up and wrest the rail industry from the corrupt politicians back to the people where it belongs.
Article was posted on FR 26MAY19
This article was posted (well, the first three or so paragraphs, anyways) on the conservative website Free Republic on 26MAY19. The post is HERE, and some selected comments (from people who obviously didn’t read the article).
Here’s some of the best comments.
I used to work for this company that had a contract with a large corporation and I used to have to go in to the large Corporate Offices occasionally and I would go in early to grab a little breakfast in their cafeteria. That’s what I noticed that everybody who was on the “early work schedule” would get there early and then leisurely eat a breakfast and be up with their desks just before the normal 8 to 5 people showed up. Pretty sneaky, because the early workers left early… but didn’t put in a full day…that’s when I learned that having an early staff is probably inviting a little cheating into the workplace.
As a Ferroequinologist (railroad fan), I’m going to say, we can but let private companies do it. Virgin Trains is expanding Brightline from West Palm to Orlando…and onto Tampa…
Conclusion
So, to answer the question; “Why can’t America have High Speed Rail transportation?”, if you set aside all the rationalizations and justifications, there is but one conclusive answer.
In some ways, extreme populism actually is a symptom of this institutional failure, and this brings me to my last point. Due to our lack of a functioning institutional system, we are no longer able to undertake great, long-term projects, or to address seriously deep structural problems in our system in the long term.
We suffer from a kind of “tyranny of myopia.” We are incapable of operating as a country on anything resembling a serious and long-term time horizon.
-American Greatness
America does not have the ABILITY to create modern public transportation.
I have not been to Niagara Falls in close to 30 years even though I live 80 miles from there. I have driven by it many times over the years but it was one of those things that since I had been there repeatedly as a kid, I saw no need to go there again.
Well, my kids are now 10 & 12 years and it was time to take them to see it.
The city of Niagara Falls is a total dump. It might as well be Detroit, Newark NJ, The level of devastation is identical. It might as well be the third world.
Then, there is the New York State Park around the American Falls. Like every park in New York state, it is a complete embarrassment. This park should be a showplace, and yet it is a total shithole. I was stunned at the complete lack of maintenance the shoddy landscaping and the overall poor condition of the park as a whole.
Obviously, the state has the money to squander on illegal aliens but the parks are a complete mess and an embarrassment.
The Canadian side park was well kept and was an attractive and enjoyable place to be. The city of Niagara Falls, Ontario as a whole is not the welfare basketcase that Niagara Falls NY is.
Andrew Cuomo, Louise Slaughter (now dead), and every other NY democRAT ('Nadless I'm looking at you) should be ashamed of themselves for turning this place into a disgrace.
-Vanity Post
A joint venture of Milan-based contractor Salini Impregilo and its U.S. subsidiary Lane Construction Corp. have won a $14-billion design-build contract for the planned high-speed rail project to connect Dallas and Houston, with a total estimated cost of some $20 billion.
Salini-Lane will provide civil and infrastructure scope for the project, which includes design and construction of all 131 viaduct sections and 130 embankment sections along the 240-mile route, installation of the track system, and construction of all buildings and services that will house maintenance and other equipment.
Not going to be made by Americans or American companies, though. Also the scope is going to be rather modest. 240 miles for $20 billion dollars.

Today, in fact ever since the 1970’s, it has become easy for Americans to fall into debt. Here we are going to discuss how to gain control of your life financially. We are going to talk about the implementation of the “rule of eight”.
Implementation of “the rule of eight” is the fundamental first step in gaining control of your finances. I know. I know. It’s a boring subject. But, hear me out.
The trick to keeping your money and living the lifestyle that you deserve is in spending your money properly. And, that, boys and girls means that you don’t just spend money on things you want. It means, instead, that you plan on how to spend your money.
You plan on how to spend your money.
Because having full control over your money means that you will obtain full control over your life.
Full control of your money = Full control of your life.
The “rule of eight” is a very simple rule. It just means that everything that you buy must full under the “rule of eight”.
There are three (x3) parts to this rule.
Part 1 – Wait eight days before you buy something.
This little rule destroys impulse buying.
Most credit card purchases are impulse buys. Most of the things that get us into trouble financially are due to impulse buys. In fact, most sales in stores and on-line revolve around “sales” that are intended to get you to perform a purchase on impulse.
In fact, the source of the biggest problems in families today is that there “isn’t enough money” to live off of. Yet, if you look at their budget, you would find that the money has disappeared into a deep deep black hole. This black-hole is impulse purchases.
Stop.
You must end the impulse buying nightmare and get off the treadmill of debt.
In practical application, the person in the household who controls the budget (this would be the woman of the house if you are in a traditional conservative family), or the owner of a wallet (if you are in a progressive family) would have money set aside as “spending cash”. In companies this goes by the term “petty cash” but the idea is simple; a set amount of money is provided for each person to use as they need for minor sundries.
Depending on the person, this could vary from $5 to $20 /week.
The rest of the money is formally budgeted. The budget would consist of “containers” where money is allocated into different uses. Again, in a traditional household, the woman (or house-person if a same-sex household) would do the budgeting.
Some budget items might include such things as…
Food for home cooked meals.
Eating out for the one or two meals outside.
House payments or rent.
Utilities (electricity and gas)
Savings
The various payments on outstanding debt (car, college)
Planned purchases
“Petty Cash”
In the rule of eight, you wait eight days for purchase of anything outside of “petty cash” or budgeted expenses. This is eight days, or one day more than a week.
Here is an example.
Imagine that you have a traditional conservative household. The man works a 40 hour/week job, and the wife handles the domestic responsibilities of household and childcare. Further assume that the man makes $1000 / month.
He, as a traditional conservative, would give 100% of his salary to the wife. Then she would budget the money accordingly.
Rent - $400
Groceries - $200
Utilities - $50
Savings - $150
Pay off debt - $100
Petty Cash - $50 ($20 to the man, $20 to the wife, and $5 child allowance)
Discretionary Funds - $50
With a budget, you now have a monthly allocation of $50 to use for discretionary purposes. You can plan on what to use it on. That is how a budget works.
Having a budget, and following the “rule of eight” gives you time to determine if the purchased item has value more than a momentary emotional appeal.
You will find, that the rule of eight plays a very important role in the ability to save money, budget food, and master your own household. Instead of a home filled with clutter and junk, most people who follow the rule of eight find their house to become uncluttered, and tend to eat better. They also tend to save money.
This first part of the rule of eight, effectively eliminates spontaneous impulse purchasing. As such, it is probably the most important part of this rule.
You wait EIGHT DAYS on the purchase of anything not already budgeted for.
Part 2 – Purchase by quality value.
The next component of the Rule of Eight is the quality component. This little rule assigns value to what your purchase.
What has more value? A breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, and unlimited coffee at a family diner for $4, or an $8 cup of Starbucks coffee?
You start to purchase things based on their value to you.
The idea here is that you start managing the quality of the products that you use.
In general, you try to avoid low-quality items for they will always, eventually one way or the other, detract from your standard of life. And, while you might want to have everything “high quality”, it will be prohibitive to do so, as they tend to be expensive.
Think of the quality of any item you purchase on a 10-point scale: a “one” is the lowest quality/throwaway item and a “10” is the highest quality available.
Free sugar at a fast food restaurant. (Free = zero value.)
Disposable plates and silverware.
Cheap plastic toys for children.
Walmart quality appliances.
Canned food at a supermarket.
Frozen food.
Fresh fruits, vegetables, cuts of meat.
Upper level quality appliances. (The “sweet spot”.)
Best quality anything.
Best quality on a “name brand” item. (Super expensive.)
The Rule of Eight says that once the quality of any purchased item exceeds eight on the 10-point scale, the price rises very rapidly. It rises exponentially. However, the usefulness of the item (economists call this the “utility” of the item) barely changes at all.
For example;
You can buy a second-hand car (maybe two years old) for far less than a brand new car right off the sales lot. Yet, both of them would be able to give you the same kind of functionality in the five-year period of ownership.
Because of this relationship, items that are eight and larger on the scale are considered to be “luxury items”.
The “sweet spot”, or the area where you get the best quality at the most reasonable price is just under the value of eight. This is to the left of the red line.
Obviously not every purchase will be in that area. However, if you use the “rule of eight” to make quality decisions, then you will discover that heavy-use items (such as automobiles, tools, and appliances) should have values from 6 to 9. Most other items can range from 5 to 7.
And by the way, keep in mind that forays into the very cheap and the ultra expensive need to be justified by careful thought and consideration.
Part 3 – Control the quantity of items purchased.
The final component of the Rule of Eight is quantity. You need to spend the vast bulk of your money on the items that provides value.
This is an easy one: 80% of your purchases should conform to the Rule of Eight. So, in practice this means that most of your spending will not be on super-high quality brands and items.
Nor will it be on the cheapest junk you can afford.
It will be somewhere in between. If the items are going to be put through daily use, like for instance, a computer or a cell phone, then you need to get a good sturdy reliable model. If, however, the item is going to only be used a few times, then the quality of that item can be far less and you can discard it when finished.
Most of the items you purchase should reside somewhere in the middle 80% of the mainline price range. Remember, you get what you pay for.
What does all this mean?
By implementing the “rule of eight” you will start to find that you are in control of your money. Not someone else.
To implement it, most people discover that they need to make some changes in their lives. Most of the changes are fundamental. That is, the most successful families are ones that have adopted traditional ways of running a household.
The household sets up rules that people follow.
Roles are established to process the rules; a “bread-earner”, a “finance manager” , and someone in charge of “domestic affairs”.
Members follow the rules.
There will be a minor period of adjustment to the rules.
What this means, is that once you are in control of your finance, that all sorts of good things start to happen to your life. I have covered them in other posts, and you might want to read about them here…
Here we talk about the two different types of familial structures that are present in the United States and how they work…
If you decide to have a traditional conservative type of family, then you will start to eat better, and the meals at the house will take on an entirely new dimension…
Now, the reason why there is so much confusion as to roles and rules is because society has changed. American society has changed, and no one has been monitoring that change. Here, I talk about it…
Of course, the theme behind this post is that men need guidance on how to carve their life out in the world. As such, I try to offer some support here.
As well as other posts along this same theme…

We'll discover who the real preppers are after the first hard blasts roll across the land.

-The Woodpile Report 24DEC19
I often see articles about SHTF and CWII, but no one talks about the real threats. It’s always about prep and preppers.
Well, the real deal is nothing you can fully prepare for.
All that you can try to do is prevent it, and get out of the way, if you fail. That is it. Oh, and do not expect the UN to step in. They are a useless and worthless organization if anything.
But it won’t end there.
While the men are killed, the women and children will be raped
No one will be spared. You must egress out of the danger areas, and avoid all cities. If you need to fight, then strike at the leadership, their enclaves, and their captains. Do not fight a defensive war, YOU WILL LOSE.
At the same time in many Bosnian cities this scenario was being repeated: Serbian soldiers would come into a city.
They had lists of intellectuals and people in power and with influence. Firstly they killed many of them.
They had lists…
Lists…
“The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life,” Representative Maxine Waters told Roland Martin on Monday.
“That’s going to be very, very powerful,” Waters said. “That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that.
They’re going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can’t get around it. And he’s [President Obama] been very smart.
It’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”
-The Gateway Pundit
Lists…
List of people. Lists compiled over the years. Lists with names and place and addresses and threat levels.
Lists…
They collected the people on the lists.
They separated the men from the women.
Then they put men and women in the main square, or in the street, or in front of their houses.
They separated the men from the women, the men were killed or transported to the concentration camps and women were raped in public.
They publicly raped very old women or very young girls.
Then the remaining women were driven by cars, buses or trucks to big empty buildings, like schools, department stores, hotels or empty factories, and were held there in order to be raped.

This is what always happens.
This always happens.
It always happens.
Expect it.
Do not be caught off guard.
This is something that is assumed, but we are all unaware of just how widespread this will be.
Oh, it will be everywhere. It will be horrific. It will be shocking. It will be horrible.
The progressive democrats already think nothing about having sex with three years olds, and then killing them.
What do you think they will do to your family when they have their hands tied behind their backs and on their knees in front of radical progressive urban blacks? What do you think will happen?
Image what would happen once they have total control of the government, the police and the military. Imagine just what would happen if they were the only ones who held the guns, and they were the only ones in control of the means of communication.
Imagine what would happen when the Muslim faction of the progressive liberal democrats take control of a town.
They will have this control. They will get this control, and the results will not be pleasant.
They want you disarmed; compliant and on a bended knee.
They fully intend to do what they want with you, and no one and nothing has been stopping them. They fully believe that they can continue to push, and push and push and nothing would ever happen.
The majority of the assaults were committed in the Soviet occupation zone; estimates of the numbers of German women raped by Soviet soldiers have ranged up to 2 million.
According to historian William Hitchcock, in many cases women were the victims of repeated rapes, some as many as 60 to 70 times.
At least 100,000 German women are believed to have been raped in Berlin, based on surging abortion rates in the following months and contemporary hospital reports, with an estimated 10,000 German women dying in the aftermath. Female deaths in connection with the rapes in Germany, overall, are estimated at 240,000.
Antony Beevor describes it as the “greatest phenomenon of mass rape in history“, and has concluded that at least 1.4 million women were raped in East Prussia, Pomerania and Silesia alone.
According to Natalya Gesse, Soviet soldiers raped German females from eight to eighty years old. Soviet and Polish women were not spared either.
When General Tsygankov, head of the political department (a "Diversity Officer") of the First Ukrainian Front, reported to Moscow the mass rape of Soviet women deported to East Germany for forced labor, he recommended that the Soviet women be prevented from describing their ordeal on their return to Russia.
-Learning History
According to a former army officer:
“We were young, strong, and four years without women. So we tried to catch German women and … Ten men raped one girl.
There were not enough women; the entire population ran from the Soviet Army.
So we had to take young, twelve or thirteen-year-olds.
If they cried, we put something into their mouths. We thought it was fun. Now I can not understand how I did it. A boy from a good family… But that was me.”
On June 29 and June 30, 1941, there were random shootings of Jews in Liepāja by German soldiers. About 99 Jews (plus or minus 30) were killed in these shootings. Shootings began almost immediately.
For example, at 5:00 p.m. on June 29, arriving German soldiers seized 7 Jews and 22 Latvians and shot them at a bomb crater in the middle of Ulicha street. At 9:00 p.m. the same day German soldiers came to Hika street, where they assembled all the residents and asked if any were refugees from Germany.
One man, Walter (or Victor) Hahn, a conductor who had fled Vienna in 1938, stepped forward and was immediately shot.
The next day, June 30, soldiers went to the City Hospital, arrested several Jewish physicians and patients, disregarded the protests of the Latvians on the hospital staff, and shot them. Among the victims was 10 year old Masha Blumenau.
-Liepaja Massacres
A woman telephone operator from the Soviet Army recalled that:
“When we occupied every town, we allocated the first three days for looting and … rapes. That was unofficial of course.
.
But (some degree of order needed to be restored) after three days one could be court-martialed for doing this. … I remember one raped German woman lying naked, with hand grenade between her legs.
Now I feel shame, but I did not feel shame back then… Do you think it was easy to forgive the Germans?
We hated to see their clean undamaged white houses. With Roses. I wanted them to suffer. I wanted to see their tears. … Decades had to pass until I started feeling pity for them.”
.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn took part in the invasion of Germany and wrote a poem about it: Prussian Nights: “Twenty-two Hoeringstrasse. It’s not been burned, just looted, rifled. A moaning by the walls, half muffled: the mother’s wounded, half alive.
.
The little daughter’s on the mattress, dead. How many have been on it? A platoon, a company perhaps? A girl’s been turned into a woman, a woman turned into a corpse. . . . The mother begs, “Soldier, kill me!”
In August 1992 I went to Croatia, which was as close as I could get to Bosnia-Herzegovina. It was there that I met Mirsada, a sixteen year old girl who had been raped.
I will try to keep her in my mind, because I liked her from the moment I met her and I tried to help her, trying not to act pitifully towards her. She had been detained in a concentration camp near Teslic for 4 months with her mother and sister. She was raped approximately 80 times per day.
At the time I met her, she was heavily pregnant (in her sixth month). After she gave birth to a baby girl, she gave it up for adoption and left for Denmark. She never saw her daughter. I never asked her to talk to me about this as I was afraid my interest would appear disrespectful and that it might hurt her.
But once, when we were just sitting and talking, she told me that when she was in the concentration camp she was not allowed to sleep because the soldiers would constantly come for her, never giving her the time or space to sleep. This was the first time that the situation in which this girl and many other women found themselves really became clear and close to me.

Conclusion
The staggering number of corrupt prostituted sociopaths occupying positions of power within the government, corporations, media, military, churches, and academia has created a morally bankrupt empire of debt.
These sociopaths are not liberal or conservative. They are not Democrats or Republicans. They are not beholden to a country or community. They care not for their fellow man. They don’t care about future generations. They care about their own power, wealth and control over others. They have no conscience. They have no empathy. Right and wrong are meaningless in their unquenchable thirst for more. They will lie, steal and kill to achieve their goal of controlling everything and everyone in this world. This precisely describes virtually every politician in Washington DC, Wall Street banker, mega-corporation CEO, government agency head, MSM talking head, church leader, billionaire activist, and blood sucking advisor to the president.
-Us vs. Them
While traditional Americans, conservatives, and Trump supporters might get frustrated in the “politics” and news, the truth is something very sinister.
Unless the President and the appointed Congressional representatives get a handle on a rogue government and judicial bench, the United States is heading towards a very dark time. It will be a very dark time indeed.
No. It will not go away. No, it will not get better.
The oligarchy; the richest people in America and other Globalists around the world have planned together in order to orchestrate a genocide against those that wish to prevent a global-world-dictatorship.
This is a truth, and they have NOT put their plans on hold. They are just biding their time until they regain control of the Presidency.
If Hillary Clinton had won her rigged 2016 Presidential election and was then inaugurated as POTUS 45, America would have entered a very dark period. It's unlikely The Republic would have survived it. As Rex explains, Obama had already started building a totalitarian system. Clinton would have turned it into a dictatorship.
A serious effort MUST be taken NOW to stop an out of control train that is about to slam smack into a brick wall. It will happen. It really will. Those who want to have their heads in the sand and believe that it will go away or morph into something else is deluded.
“Go back to bed, America. Your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control again. Here. Here’s American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed, America. Here is American Gladiators. Here are 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom. Here you go, America! You are free to do what we tell you! You are free to do what we tell you!”― Bill Hicks
It is going to get a lot worse, and serious action steps must be taken to avoid the train wreck that is destined to occur.
Other Opinions
Here are some opinions by others who have read this article. A surprisingly large number of them do not agree with me.
They believe that America is robust, and that a “shooting war” or a “hot situation” will never happen in the United States.
It will NEVER happen in the United States.
At worst, they believe is that control of the population will be completed by electronic means and no violence will ever come to pass. People will just continue on their “normal” lives, without any serious concern regarding violence.
They believe that any of this progressive nonsense about “white privilege” and “manliness” will eventually (somehow) disappear. They have not taken into their calculus that the United States today is embedded with PC commissars who’s job is to foment anti-white sentiment and hatred.
It will NOT go away. It will get worse.

The conditions for that are very rapidly being put into place. That’s the Chinese/Google/Apple Social Credit score.

The base is woke and the Establishment’s a joke. I speak to a lot of conservative groups of various types and flavors: hardcore tea partiers, patriotic vets, loyal radio listeners, besieged students, brass New Yorkers, even rich country club types who you would think were into Jeb! – you know, diversity. And lately, I’ve tended to start off my talks by posing this question:“Okay, who here agrees with me that the left wants us enslaved or dead?”
Every hand goes up.
Every single one of them.
That’s our base.
Folks, our base is hella woke.

After all, according to the elected officials, the Bill of Rights doesn’t mean what it says…
Yet, many have commented that the Bill of Rights is robust enough that there is no need to be concerned. This belief is one that they cling to, even when ALL the evidence says otherwise. In fact, there are people that are proposing a “sensible Bill of Rights”, you know, for the new progressive reality.
THE BILL OF "NON-RIGHTS We The Sensible People of The United States "In an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines.
Sensible.
Sounds so very nice. Sensible. Like this fellow here who is commenting on what to do when 20 armed police come to your house to collect your guns…
"If so, politely request to see a court order of seizure and confiscation. Try to get a copy of it duly signed, along with the supporting signed affidavit if there is one. No sense having a shoot out resulting in death, unless you have a whole gang of patriots with you. Larger numbers can make the police back down.
The 2nd amendment survives because of Freedom of Assembly and Freedom to travel.

My comment is that I hope that this will be the case. However, history shows and has proved that a law, and a rule is only as good as it’s enforcement.
Know your History.
Many in government, most especially the progressive liberal democrats, believe the laws are what they say they are, and nothing more. They are “living laws” and subject to the interpretation of the user.
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” – Frank Zappa
Here is what happens when you politely request to see a court order. Actual photo of what happens when you don’t turn over your guns to the police when they ask you to.
Look at the picture carefully. Study it.
He said no and wanted to see documentation from the police. He wanted to see an order from the judge. This is what happened seconds later.
Of course, not every police officer will shoot. There are stories where the police tackled the “holdouts”, and disarmed them by force. Then, carted them off for interrogation. These are the “happy stories”.
So, if you are fortunate…
Of course, there are other things that can happen. Just because the most common response from a failure to turn in your guns is to be killed, doesn’t mean that you will be killed. You situation could be different. Like this, if you are a woman…
And, I do believe that there are a few others who agree with me on that…
Actually, those twenty guys will be using a no-knock warrant and kicking your door down, and shooting your dog first, before they shoot you. They are not going to ask nicely.
If you survive... you can ask for a copy of their warrant.

Know your history
On June 29, 1941, a detachment of Einsatzkommando 1a, (EK 1a) under SS-Obersturmbannführer Reichert entered Liepēja.
It is historically well-known that societies are not stable. They always need periodic resets. The USA has been primed for one for at least a century.
It is going to be a Hellish shit-storm.
You can either sit it out or participate. There are no other options.
One of the first people EK 1a killed, on June 30, was the musician Aron Fränkel, who, not knowing that Einsatzkommando had set up headquarters at his place of employment, the Hotel St. Petersburg, showed up for work.
He was identified as a Jew and immediately shot.
When the Germans invaded Russia, the Soviet units set up a defensive position in and around Liepaja. The Soviet forces had dug defensive trenches in Rainis Park (Raiņa parks) in the center of Liepāja. (See the photo above.)
On July 3 and 4, 1941, was the first documented massacre in Liepēja. Reichert’s EK 1a men, all Germans of the SD, rounded up Jews and marched them to the trenches dug in the park.
Once at the trench, they were shot and the bodies pushed in.
How many were killed during these shootings is not known. Estimates range from several dozen to 300.
After the war, the Soviet Union investigatory commission concluded that 1,430 people were killed in the park shootings. One participant, Harry Fredrichson, later testified that in one massacre he participated in, 150 people were killed. This event is known as the Rainis Park massacre

Let’s not ever forget the words of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. He penned these words while he was suffering inside a progressive liberal communist hard-labor camp in Siberia…
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?
Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?...
The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!
If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
People, the “event” will NOT be televised.
You will not see reports of it on CNN, MSNBC, or twitter reports. It will be planned in advance, and implemented in carefully crafted stages, and by the time you are aware of what is going on, it will be too fucking late.
You, and your family, will be in a position of disadvantage.
Key Reminders
“White Privilege” means “Scheduled for Genocide”.
“Diversity Officers” collect names, put them on lists.
Never permit yourself to be disarmed.
You need to be lethal, and not afraid to use a weapon.
“Door to door gun collection” means SHTF is about to happen.
All genocide originates from the wealthy leadership.
Stay away from crowds.
When ordered to report to mass collection points – run for the woods.
Your neighbors WILL turn you in.
Any gun is better than none. But, realize that the aim is to kill not to threaten. AK clones are really generally useless. Concentrate on shotguns if you cannot find a decent accurate weapon.
Epilogue
With all the evidence pointing to a clash between Conservative traditionalists and Progressive socialists, it might be prudent to get out of the line of fire and protect yourself and your family.
There are numerous posts on this subject. I urge the reader to either seriously ready themselves for a future battle, and take the necessary advantages to get ready for it, or leave to a “safe harbor”. Please kindly give these posts your every consideration.
What ever happens, you don’t want your loved ones to end up like this…
Take Aways
The SHTF and CWII will happen because there is no one undoing the pre-genocidal preparations for it. As such, we can expect the following truths…
You will not know there is a full-on Civil War until you are in the midst of it.
The American Second Civil War (CWII) will be a genocidal event of enormous scale.
There will be an organized effort to disarm prior to the war. It may or may not happen.
The timetable for the war has already been established. It’s going to happen whether everything is in place or not.
The real danger of the progressive liberal army lies well hidden from public scrutiny. It is kept intentionally hidden. Just like in Rwanda, the conspirators held very secret meetings, and had secret handshakes, and shirts that they wore to identify each other. Chess pieces are moving into place.
Once your hands are tied and bound behind your back it will be too late.
Diversity Officers and their confederates will have you already earmarked as subversive.
Whole-scale mass murder will be the norm.
There will not be any Bill of Rights to protect you when the police are run by progressive liberals.
Refugee camps will be dangerous and unhealthy places to be trapped in.
The news media will not be reporting anything but the most trivial events. At that, it will be slanted in favor of progressives.
Conservative websites and news might be blocked or difficult to access.
SHTF is going to get frighteningly real.
Why? Because exactly zero people are dealing with the “diversity officers”.
Zero people are dealing with the oligarchy-owned media.
Zero people are dealing with the software moguls and their rampant abuses of the Bill of Rights.
Zero people are dealing with the deep state, and the multitudes of people in the “swamp”.
Zero people are dealing with activist judges. Absolutely fucking ZERO.
That is why there will be genocide in the USA, and YOU know it is true.
During one of the first bigger events of killing in the streets, I was out together with my friend who also was a medical professional.
Fire from machine guns was on people who were standing in front of the main city bread factory, and people started to scream and run over each other.
My first impulse was to run to the nearest cover but my friend got down to help some lady, so I stayed one meter next to him.
I was confused about my decision and not sure to stay with him or run. Bullets from machine gun hit him over his legs, and I saw how his kneecap exploded. It looked like some bad movie special effect.
He just looked at his legs, then at me, in silence. Even though it was just seconds, moments like this feel very long.
I took him by the hands and dragged him some 20 or 30 meters to safety. Only there I saw that he was missing his leg under the knee. It stayed with the dead lady on the street.
And only then he started to scream.
I used a belt to stop the bleeding. The ambulance still worked in that period. He went to the hospital and then evacuated from the city. He survived but never came back.
Lessons learned?
In moments of chaos always listen to your instincts and do not hesitate.
-The Organic Prepper
These are crazed ideological Marxists
These crazy ideological progressive liberal democrat Marxists are willing to die for their cause.
.
Listen to them. Read their writings. This is far off-the-deep-end type of stuff.
Know your history.
Look what the ideological Nazi Germans did when they discovered that the Americans and Allies were entering Germany and arresting all the Nazi leadership.
.
They would have no part of it. They did not want to lose. They never expected to lose. They would not accept failure. (Like how the Marxists won’t accept the 2016 loss to President Trump, Eh?)
Look at their reactions…
.
This is not just one or two deaths.
Entire groups of ideological Nazi Germans killed themselves rather than accept defeat. The progressive liberal democrat Marxists are of the exact same ilk. They would rather die than submit to traditional conservative values.
.
These people are “off the rails” and the non-stop forced feeding of Marxist ideology has affected their views on life. As such, they consider anyone who does not think like them as evil. They are willing to go at them in the worst way.
People, take note, these people are dangerous.
The rich oligarchy wants you dead.
Rather than fight against their proxies, they should be targeted directly. Here’s some articles to ponder and consider…
Everything is academic until it is happening to you.
As much as I had read about police, and IRS overstepping their authority, I never thought that it would actually happen to me.
Well it actually did, and I was totally surprised when it happened. My story is one for another time, however take heed.
Don’t be like me and get caught off guard.
Anything can happen.
And it can actually happen to you.
Nothing hits like a slap in the face like being told to turn around, and put your hands behind your back, in your own house, by machine-gun toting black-clad soldiers. Yes, in a nice quite suburb of Little Rock. Yes. It can, and WILL happen to you.
Take care and realize…
You are on a listRIGHT NOW. Actually you are probably on a couple of lists. One by the federal gun registry, one by the local “diversity officer”, and one by those monitoring your internet activities. Depending on where you live, there are also lists compiled by the local or regional ideological progressive liberals in your neighborhood. Oh yes, they exist all over America. How do you think they were able to know where Trump officials and their families eat?
Do not allow yourself and family to be disarmed. Hide your guns in three places; [1] Family house; easy to find. [2] Family hidden (hidden to everyone except family members), and [3] Hidden to everyone (including family members) but you. Only you know where the guns are. Tell no one.
Trust your gut feelings. If you “feel” something is wrong, even when there is nothing on the news. (This is the best information that I can give you.) Go run and hide somewhere safe. Even if that means going to a hotel. Just leave your house. (When the IRS SWAT police came for me, I felt an unbelievable feeling of dread in the middle of the night. It was quite an ugly feeling. Be aware. Do NOT shrug it off.)
If it looks wrong and feels wrong, get the hell out of there. Don’t rationalize, don’t question. Act.
-Charles Yor at Survival Sullivan, about conflict avoidance

Finally, the progressive left has completely saturated American society. Many members follow the dictates of the Marxists out of ignorance. Just like many Germans followed Hitler.
The next step down the ladder of decline may be so unstable that the weight of past error crashes society through to the bottom. The case for this theory of collapse is the rapidly shrinking white middle-class. The dominant culture today is one that celebrates degeneracy and barbarism. There is the growing sense that what’s left of America is not worth saving. Everyday, more and more white people come to the conclusion that the people they see in politics, the media and popular culture are incompatible with the world they want for themselves and their decedents. That old bourgeois white culture is looking at America like the family exhausted by an alcoholic relative. It’s time to cut our losses.

Lessons From The Warsaw GhettoAugust 24, 2019
Great Read. Be sure and read the two links on Lithuania.
Highlights from Part one. Staple this to your Brain.
1) Government identification records are the clerical basis for mass murder and other atrocities: No, not every government ID scheme leads to genocide and expatriation. But for the collectivists of both the German Reich and the USSR, each victim’s identity card was both part of the initial targeting and the final “production record”.
2) Get to the forest early if you want to live: If you think they will be coming for you, you are probably right. Plan not to be where they know you work and live. Act early if you want to maximize your chances. You and your family will die if you are at your government-approved address.
3) The Bad People will have lots of help from your neighbors:The most disturbing moment for me in the KGB museum was not in the execution or interrogation/torture cells. It was realizing, while moving through the excellent exhibits on the mass deportations of Lithuanians after “liberation” by the Soviets in 1944, that most of the deportees (many of whom were subsequently executed or starved or died of exposure and disease) had been betrayed to the NKVD/KGB by their neighbors.
4) “Fascism” is not the only mortal enemy of freedom and life; the real enemy is collectivism in any form: At each of the memorials, one could tell the provenance of any signage by its reference to “fascism”. Mostly, such markings were from the Soviet era, during which — not coincidentally — many more millions of innocent human beings were killed by the “enlightened” Communists than had been slaughtered by the Hitlerites and their collaborators. While it is too much to expect the Soviets to acknowledge these facts, it is essential that freedom-minded folks grok that collectivism, in any form, can and usually does lead to the mass grave.
5) Never report en masse when ordered to do so: Nothing good ever happens to folks who do.
6) Food and ammunition will be the vital shortages you must address in order to live: Empty weapons and bellies a successful resistance does not make.
7) The Bad People will torture and kill those who help you: Get used to the idea. Retribution killing is a standard totalitarian play. Try to avoid jeopardizing your allies to the extent possible, but know that they too will be swept into the whirlwind.
8) The Bad People will torture and kill your family members:Sippenhaft ain’t just a chapter in Vanderboegh’s long-awaited novel. The KGB museum was filled with execution orders with notations indicating that not only had the subject been killed per order of the Party, but that “special measures” had or would be taken against the victim’s family.
9)You must be prepared to fight until victory or death: Once you go to the woods, you are there for the duration. The Baltic “forest brothers”stayed out until they were killed or captured. More on them in the next part of this report.
10) If you think it can’t happen here, you are wrong. The Polish and Lithuanian Jews who were ground into dust by the Einsatzgruppen thought the same thing. So did the Lithuanians who couldn’t believe that the Communists under Stalin and subsequent regimes would hold their passionate patriotism against them.
Almost all of those folks who believed “it couldn’t happen” died. A few survived by running into the woods, or by bearing up under the brutal realities of the Gulag, year after year after year.
Each of them knows the single biggest lesson from Lithuania: naked, brute force can and does triumph over kindness, love of kin and country, and simple human decency — often for decades or more.
Lose your illusions.
While there is still time.
Stay Alert, Armed and Dangerous!
Notes at the End
Here, Mr. Dakin talks bedrock survival, not “tips for the traditional homesteader”.
Desperate times are like gravity, it needs to get the upper hand only once.
If you’re not thinking like an escapee from a Soviet gulag you’re not preparing for the worst.
And if you’re not prepared for the worst, you won’t survive the worst.
SELCO: What Combat Is Really Like
I Like this Selco, and I really think that everyone should read and head his experience. I really do not promote other’s books on this website, but I will make an exception here. Read this…
This is an excerpt from Selco’s book, The Dark Secrets of SHTF Survival.
When SHTF, nobody told me how hard is gonna be and what things I would have to do to survive. There was no training or simulations.
Most of the stuff I was going through for the first time in my life. I was hoping it was only a temporary situation, that it not going to last for a whole year.
A few events opened my eyes and somehow made me a survivor right at the beginning. I had the luck to understand in the very early stages how hard it was and what it takes.
The first lesson
During one of the first bigger events of killing in the streets, I was out together with my friend who also was a medical professional.
Fire from machine guns was on people who were standing in front of the main city bread factory, and people started to scream and run over each other.
My first impulse was to run to the nearest cover but my friend got down to help some lady, so I stayed one meter next to him.
I was confused about my decision and not sure to stay with him or run. Bullets from machine gun hit him over his legs, and I saw how his kneecap exploded. It looked like some bad movie special effect.
He just looked at his legs, then at me, in silence. Even though it was just seconds, moments like this feel very long.
I took him by the hands and dragged him some 20 or 30 meters to safety. Only there I saw that he was missing his leg under the knee. It stayed with the dead lady on the street.
And only then he started to scream.
I used a belt to stop the bleeding. The ambulance still worked in that period. He went to the hospital and then evacuated from the city. He survived but never came back.
Lessons learned?
In moments of chaos always listen to your instincts and do not hesitate.
Especially if you are involved in a situation when someone is shooting at you with a high caliber machine gun. Just accept that people will die and you have to survive. To help others is a great thing, to survive is even better.
Also, I realized that a human being is so fragile and easy to destroy.
You must practice with your gear.
Later I learned some things about weapons and how to use them, so I realize that more firepower does not necessarily mean more dangerous and better chance to kill.
Owning a weapon is absolutely necessary when preparing for a survival scenario, even more so in urban survival. You need to go and get as close as you can to the real stuff while you are doing the preparing and training for the SHTF, so it makes sense to go out and check your preps, to check your gear, and yourself.
For example, that pair of boots that you bought and store for bad days will not be used for walking only, it will be used for running, squatting, jumping, in mud, junk, blood, guts maybe or just running through a shallow river.
Everything that you have prepared and stored for SHTF will be pushed to the limits.
It is one thing to go out into the woods nearby and do a recording of your weapon testing on some beer bottles with your friends, and after that concluding that particular gun or rifle is best for SHTF and that you are a dangerous dude because of your accuracy rates. Some people gonna put that clip on YouTube and go home convinced that they are ready and prepared.
In reality, you do not know if you are prepared until it happens.
A lot of survival stores that sell things sell the idea of “buy this and you are safe.”
No, you are not. You can learn more about real urban survival scenarios in my survival course and in my book, The Dark Secrets of SHTF Survival. This helps you to mentally be better prepared but the real deal when SHTF always comes as a surprise.
When the time comes again it gonna hit everyone like a hammer. The good news is that when you know you will get hit like that you can recover faster and use your skills, knowledge, and preps to make the best out of the situation.
Using a weapon in real life, in real survival situations, is something absolutely different from shooting beer bottles.
And if you could do some real training that is realistic that would be maybe going camping for 10 days using a trash bag like a tent, with 10 small cans of food, and 10 liters of water, and then walking every day for 10 km.
On the 11th day, run a few kilometers and then shoot and see how accurate you are when your body is wasting away.
And still, the most important thing is missing. While you are shooting at the beer bottles they do not shoot back at you in order to kill you.
During some of the first battles in the city I was moving through the building behind a guy, we both had rifles. He was sweeping the rooms and shooting, it was the closest to urban combat as it can be. At the moment when he runs out of ammo, he used his rifle as something between spear and bat.
Now someone could say why he did not just switch to the pistol? He did not have one, also he did not have time to look for ammo. But there I learned how it is useful to have folded stock of rifle when shooting and moving in very confined spaces.
Also, I learned that rifle with pretty sharp parts at the barrel can be very handy. He stabbed a guy to the cheek, ripping his face down and finishing him on the ground.
One of the biggest misconceptions that the people who do not have fighting experience is what they just need to practice. You need to learn these important things before the SHTF.
It is all about pressure. You need to learn:
What your weapon can take and how to fix it
In terms of kicking, throwing, how often and when will it malfunction, what the most common malfunctions are, and how to fix them – and how to fix them in the middle of a fight. If you find yourself in the middle of fighting, and your weapon “jams“ do not be, as we call it “zblesavljen.” Or in English, do not stand there looking like an idiot.
I have seen that: a guy is shooting and in the middle of fighting his weapon jammed. He stopped, surprised, and looked at the weapon in a “what the f*ck?“ state. And of course, in two seconds he ends up dead.
You absolutely need to know how to manage small weapon jams without looking at the weapon. You need to look at the target while you are “repairing“ weapon (clearing the bullet, switching to another magazine, etc.)
Other option would be to MOVE immediately when your weapon jams, move to cover in the same second or to drop to the ground, or on your back and switch to your other weapon. But you need to learn to do all of the above without thinking. You need to train so that this becomes automatic.
Small things like how quickly you can put your rifle on your back and a switch to pistol can be the difference between life and death. If you somehow “trip“ yourself while you are trying to put the rifle on your back in order to take the pistol, you can end up dead.
What you can take
Remember this: while you are shooting at the bad guys, those bad guys will be SHOOTING AT YOU TOO.
So shooting at the beer bottles in the woods with your buddies will not really do all the training you need. I do it often, but it just does not cover everything.
Fighting and surviving combat means constant moving and outsmarting the guys on the other side. You are gonna need to run, squat, throw yourself in the ditch, lay down in all kinds of sh*t, and shoot at the same time, and probably fix your rifle from jams, or switch to another weapon.
Do some basic weapons training and learn about the line of sight and how to get out of it.
In SHTF, a very great percentage of shooting is done without aiming. It is just spraying bullets.
It makes sense to do some airsoft or paintball in the woods to check how constant moving changes the whole game, and what kind of moving will help you to survive a gunfight.
For example, how often do you shoot your weapon with both hands, dominant and not dominant? In urban fighting, you will need to switch weapon around very often (moving through the apartments, rooms, around the corners, etc.). When you are shooting behind the corner, and you are having a rifle in your right hand and corner is on your left side it makes sense to transfer the weapon to the left hand. otherwise, it is dangerous to stick your left part of the body out in order to shoot from your right hand.
For all of you who have some military experience, this is basic stuff, but I have seen many guys who were killed in stupid ways.
A real gunfight is a dynamic thing. Adrenaline is a weird thing too, so people can do tremendous things while adrenaline is pumping, but also with lack of training and common sense guy can do tremendously stupid things. I have seen a man who was pointing to something and he stood up from the cover and got shot.
How to train yourself
Training is the key. You can not do anything else today except to train very hard.
You can not experience real stuff today, of course, but you can take it as close to the real stuff as possible. Go out with your friends and think about all possible scenarios.
Think about the worst-case scenarios. SHTF is not gonna wait for nice and sunny weather. You are gonna be maybe hungry, dirty. Maybe have to give up your shelter and food storage on the second day of SHTF.
Or you may be forced to use another weapon that you are not used to. Maybe you gonna be forced to hide for hours hidden under a pile of rubble and then you are gonna be forced to jump out and “kill“ ten beer bottles. Sounds like fun? This is why resilience and mental strength is so important.
Maybe you are gonna be cold and thirsty and in the middle of the battle. One thing is sure – very rarely it goes the way that you planned. So just be ready for many options and do not panic when things go another way.
Want some funny-sounding advice?
Get good at suffering while still being able to work towards a goal.
What weapon, caliber, stopping power, etc?
It is a very hard question (that I get asked a lot). But think about the fact that everything today is mainstream and commercial. And somehow it is more about what other people say is good and not necessarily about what you need and what is good for YOU.
You and your hand kill, the weapon is only a tool. I have seen the fight when a man with a knife killed the guy with a rifle. He had mastered fighting with a knife and had the will to kill. The other guy had a rifle but he ended up dead. I also saw more than once people shot with rifle bullets still fighting and running for a good amount of time. Some of them were not even aware that they were wounded before someone else pointed that out to them.
What I am trying to say is, do not expect miracles if your own a weapon that is at the moment the most popular, having great stopping power and cool reviews. It is about practicing, weapon mastery, and correct placement of bullets
I said bullets for a reason. I have seen many things, but I did not see someone survive multiple shots in the correct place on the body. Have a weapon that is best for your case, and achieve perfection in using it. Do not expect that people will fall back if you shoot them with one bullet from some widely popular weapon and caliber (not talking about shotguns).
So I am not gonna tell you what is the best weapon because what works for me maybe does not work for you or others.
Having a weapon that is too rare, too good, or too bad does not make much sense to me. Do not find yourself in a situation when you lose your weapon and pick someone else and then find out that you do not have a clue about it, because your own weapon was special and rare.
Just have what everyone else around you has, because of gun parts, ammo, and looking like everyone else.
Your weapon is only a tool to survive. Be ready to lose it if you need to lose it, and pick some other weapon from the ground in the middle of a fight.
I knew a guy who did some scary stuff with rusty shortened M-48. He was an old and poor-looking dude. He played that part well until he would take out this old gun from under his coat and rob and kill people. Simple strategy but it worked for him.
Look around and think what works for you.
The reality of combat is that there’s no way to predict how it’s gonna go. Until you’re in it, you can’t predict how you will act. All you can do is practice a lot in an environment that is as close as possible and get used to being uncomfortable.

Do not fight a defensive war.
Do not fight a defensive war. You will lose.
I suggest going after the leadership, wherever they scurry to. Go after their homes, enclaves, minions and leadership. Do not only rely on firearms. Use unconventional methods to achieve your objectives.
Oklahoma Republican state Sen. Jonathan Nichols was found dead Friday, making him the second GOP state senator to be shot to death in the last two days.
Police reportedly found Nichols, 53, dead by a gunshot wound in Norman, Oklahoma, Wednesday night. His death comes two days after police reportedly discovered former Arkansas Republican state Sen. Linda Collins-Smith dead from a gunshot wound and wrapped in some kind of blanket.
Pack extra weapons in grease
Here is a picture of a German lugar pistol that was packed in grease and unearthed in Russia 70 years later. Well packed weapons can avoid the gun collection round-ups.
Always hide your weapons
Always follow the rule of three. One cache hidden known only to you. One cache hidden known to your family, and one cache that is available for your immediate use.
You don’t need to have a hundred guns. You need only one that you are very lethal with. Do not get caught up in the idea that having a bunch of guns makes you invincible. It doesn’t. Having one, and being able to use it like an extension of your body is very, very important.

The Right has exhaustively studied the long history of Leftist revolution and genocide, and knows very well that every genocide is preceded not only by the scapegoating of official state enemies, but also by the strict curtailment of their right to keep and bear arms in the dubious name of “public safety.”

The progressive liberal socialist “democrats” do have plans for you and your family. Yes. They really do.
“It is one of those things that is easily said. ‘The Jewish people is being exterminated,’ every Party member will tell you, ‘perfectly clear, it’s part of our plans, we’re eliminating the Jews, exterminating them, a small matter.’
“Altogether we can say: We have carried out this most difficult task for the love of our people. And we have suffered no defect within us, in our soul, or in our character.”
These two gruesome comments are from the diary of Heinrich Himmler, which has recently been revealed in a military archive, in Podolsk near Moscow in Russia. The diary was first found by the Red Army after the War and was kept in the war archives; the journal consists of some 1000 pages full of gruesome details of war crimes committed by the Fuhrer’s right-hand man.
Know this…
A lifetime of pain taught me one thing: When people say and do certain things, you no longer have to worry about their welfare. They're TELLING YOU in plain English, “I’m crazy! If you’re nice to me, I’ll destroy you!”
Did you read or hear about the chef on the New York subway kicking a 78-year-old retired kindergarten teacher in the head six times? Nobody helped her, and the chef was proud. I’m 56 years old, and I have full-body osteoarthritis. If I’d been there, the chef would be dead. That’s all there is to it. He was attacking a defenseless elderly woman, and I’m in no shape to get into a prolonged fight. So I’d have to kill him.
Many years ago, I learned how to instantly kill people with my bare hands. It’s actually quite easy. I can still do it.
-The Abusive Spouse
When SHTF, and CWII occurs scenes like this will be common place. Young armed youth will travel forth from the cities in new trucks right off the sales lot, and they will attack the people in the smaller cities and rural areas.
After a month or two, gangs started operating, destroying everything. Hospitals, for example, turned into slaughterhouses. There was no more police. About 80 percent of the hospital staff were gone. I got lucky. My family at the time was fairly large (15 people in a large house, six pistols, three AKs), and we survived (most of us, at least).
-Commonsense Show
They might even have technicals installed on brand new (white) Toyota trucks. (An Obama and Hillary trademark.)
Make no mistake. They will be armed, supplied and equipped by a very wealthy (and hidden) army of progressive liberal Marxists. They will out-gun you. They will out-number you. They will be filled with hate and RAGE, and all this will be magnified by drugs that they will be given.
Beware of Ideologues
The “killing fields” of Cambodia should wake anyone up.
In Cambodia, adults were forced to dig their own graves before they
were slaughtered with spades and sharpened bamboo. Their children,
meanwhile, were smashed to death against the trunks of trees and thrown
into the mass graves where their parents lay.
There were more than 150 of these execution centers across the country.
During the invasion of Cambodia in late 1979, Vietnamese soldiers uncovered a hastily abandoned prison in Phnom Penh containing meticulous records of each inmate, complete with a portrait photo and detailed “confessions” of their crimes committed against the Khmer Rouge.
That prison was Tuol Sleng, or Security Prison 21, a former high school in the Cambodian capital that was converted into a prison and interrogation center upon the Khmer Rouge’s ascent to power in 1975.
Under the guise of building a classless agrarian economy, the Khmer Rouge targeted anyone that was incompatible with their vision of Cambodia including intellectuals, ethnic minorities, religious figures, and city-dwellers.
In the following four years, Cambodians perceived to be saboteurs or traitors to the state — some simply because they worked in factories or wore glasses — were taken to the prison to be tortured until they provided a full confession along with names of their collaborators. After confessions were made, almost all inmates were executed: of the 20,000 prisoners taken to Tuol Sleng, only seven survived.
-All that is interesting
The massacres on the killing fields stopped when the Vietnamese
invaded Cambodia in 1979 and brought an end to the Khmer Rouge. As the
Vietnamese marched through Cambodia, they found places like Tuol Sleng.
They uncovered mass graves full of thousands of human remains – and
found photos of some of the many people who had been lost in the
Cambodian genocide.
It’s all planned
When genocide breaks out, and make no mistake, any civil war in the United States conducted today will be one of genocide, will not be spontaneous or “grass roots”. They will be planned. They will be armed and prepared well in advance.
Pretty soon, the nice houses and estates in the countryside of America will start to look like this. Prepare.
All genocides are planned. They are planned, often for years, if not decades. The genocide that is being prepped for America has been in the making for at least 50 years if not longer.
The term Bosnian Genocide is used to refer either to the genocide committed by Bosnian Serb forces in Srebrenica in 1995, or to the ethnic cleansing campaign that took place throughout areas controlled by the Bosnian Serb Army during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War.
In the 1990s, several authorities, in line with a minority of legal scholars -- including the leading Holocaust scholar Dr. Robert Jay Lifton -- asserted that ethnic cleansing as carried out by elements of the Bosnian Serb army was genocide.
These included a resolution by the United Nations General Assembly and three convictions for genocide in German courts, (the convictions were based upon a wider interpretation of genocide than that used by international courts). In 2005, the United States Congress passed a resolution declaring that "the Serbian policies of aggression and ethnic cleansing meet the terms defining genocide".
Just like those protests against Brett Kavendaugh were not organic,
or the organized protests against illegal aliens, it’s all just show and
tell for the progressive mainstream media. Only this time, it will not
be televised.
It will be the “real deal”, and “out of no where”. It will be roving
bands of young heavily armed ideological youth. It will be these thugs
and gangs targeting your towns and communities and manning road blocks
and seizing key strategic points.
Know your history. Do not expect it to be random or spontaneous.
The weapons had materialized out of nowhere, and every man had one: rocket-propelled- grenade launchers and Kalashnikovs and sleek black FN assault rifles and even old shotguns and sabers left over from colonial days.
They had come from the bush, these men, and they'd brought with them their protective magic and their claims of special powers. They wore sackcloth tunics and fishnet shirts studded with crocheted pouches that were supposed to stop bullets. They sewed cowrie shells onto their clothing and wore bone necklaces that hung down over their ammo belts and clacked against their guns.
One guy had nothing on but shorts and a pink ski-parka hood. Another had a headband made of live machine-gun rounds. They stood in angry little clusters around shortwave radios listening to the afternoon BBC report and slapping ammo clips into their guns.

"They have no interest in us, except as slaves or, more likely, as a vaguely troubling memory of a problem solved long ago. Guess how they would solve us?
Not sure?
Well, there’s this thing called “history,” and you can look up leftism’s track record regarding unapproved people like us unless Google is hiding the results for that too. "
-The real leaders of the Democrat party want you to shut up.
Yeah. Here’s a nice meme that I found on the internet.
Know your history. Plan on dealing with an enemy that intends to
exterminate you and your family. They will be ideologically motivated
and the troops will more than likely be heavily armed, and high on
drugs.
It will be nothing like you see on television or in the movies. It will be a horror show.
It was early morning and there was no one there; the gate had been torn off its hinges, and twisted clothes and spent bullets littered the yard. We stepped inside and sloshed through water that was three inches deep over the marble floors. Somewhere it was still running, gurgling out of a pipe where protesters had torn the plumbing out of the walls. There were women's panties and bras on the towel rack in the bathroom, as well as an empty bottle of 1998 Laurent Grand Siècle Ferme. In the upstairs bedroom there was an empty box of 70-mm. ammo. Papers were scattered everywhere, and syringes—thousands of them, used and unused—lay piled in the corners like drifted snow.

There are organizations all over the United States that have had the SHTF, and CWII planned. In fact, they have been planning this for decades. They have secretive membership, secretive financing, secretive meetings, handshakes and even flags.

1940 Katyn Forest Massacre
The Russian eagerness to slaughter Poland's military leadership was not simply born out of savagery. Many believe that Stalin reckoned that such ruthless tactics would permanently weaken the Poles, and make them a much easier people to subdue. -Dailymail
Know your history. It is going to be repeated. It is going to happen in the United States. It is going to happen.
Do not let it happen to you.
Get ready.
In 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union invaded Poland. They came
from both sides, and within weeks, Poland was captured. The Western half
of Poland became occupied by Germany. The Eastern side of Poland became
occupied by the Soviets.
In 1940, once Russia took over a huge portion of Poland, they
collected people. They collected anyone who was smart. They collected
anyone who had skills. They collected anyone who had an education. They
considered these people threats to the “new progressive reality” that
they planned to impose on Poland. They collected them.
And, then they massacred them.
Anyone with a college education.
Anyone who was an educator.
Anyone in politics.
Anyone who owned or supervised in a factory.
Anyone who was related to anyone who was famous.
Anyone who held an officer rank in the military.
Anyone who was a small business owner.
Anyone who was a land owner (owned a house).
Anyone who was singled out by someone else as non-progressive.
In November 1939, the Russians arrested over 15,000 Polish officers and deported them to western Russia.
Among them were civilians, professors, doctors, lawyers, journalists, artists, judges,an Olympic athlete, priests, and the Chief Rabbi of the Polish Army.
The prisoners sat there for months, afraid of what was going to happen, but few guessing their true fate. As Peszkowski said: ‘We did not think it possible that the Russians would kill us without mercy.’
Military leaders were sent to three prison camps, at Kozielsk, Starobielsk, and Ostashkov.
In April of the following year, the Polish prisoners were told that they would be repatriated to Poland. It was a lie, of course. When progressive liberal democrats (whether they call themselves Marxists or Communists is of not matter) say anything, it is ALWAYS a lie.
Progressive Liberal Socialists always lie.
The first group boarded a train, but oddly it was not traveling east, but rather westward. It came to a stop outside Katyn Forest, situated near Smolensk.
From there the Polish officers were herded into black vans which drove them to a clearing in the woods.
When they stepped out, they were simply led to the edge of what would imminently be their grave. The Russians took them to a large pit inside the forest, and forced them to kneel at its edge.
Their hands were tied behind their backs, and a choke knot tied around their neck and hands so that if they struggled they would have strangled themselves.
Held on either side, the victims were approached from behind by an NKVD man equipped with a German Walther 7.65mm pistol.
The relatively small recoil, compared to that of heavier Russian pistols, made the task far easier on the executioner’s wrist, an essential requisite for a killer with so many men to dispatch.
The shot
was fired at the base of the man’s skull, and if the job was done
correctly, the bullet would have exited through the forehead. Death was
instantaneous, as one by one the Polish officers filled the mass grave.
They were surrounded by dozens of armed NKVD agents who made sure that everyone was killed. No one escaped.
Their bodies were thrown into mass graves.
This convoy of death went on for several weeks. By mid-May almost 4,500 Polish officers were murdered and buried in eight mass graves – the largest grave contained 12 layers of corpses.
Among the dead were more than 200 pilots including friends and classmates of the Kosciuszko Air Squadron.
One of its’ victims was the brother-in-law of Witold Lokociewski. The sole survivor of Katyn was Professor Stanislaw Swianiewicz.
He was on board the train headed to Katyn Forest, and was standing in the line ready to board the van, but an NKVD colonel had pulled him out of the line.
The Germans invaded Russia in July 1942, but it wasn’t until the next spring that they discovered the mass graves in Katyn.
The bodies were exhumed and examined by a team of experts, and they accused the Russians of having committed the atrocity. The Russians denied all responsibility and countered by saying that the Germans had committed the massacre.
When Polish Prime Minister Sikorski called for an investigation by the International Red Cross, the Russian government abruptly severed all diplomatic ties with Poland. Sir Owen O’Malley, the British Ambassador to the Polish government-in-exile, described the grisly scene:
” In the broad deep pit their comrades lay, packed closely around the edge, head to feet, like sardines in a tin….up and down on the bodies the executioners tramped, hauling [the corpses] about and treading in the blood like butchers in a stockyard. “
Sir Owen O’Malley conducted an investigation and produced a detailed report that proved that the Soviets were guilty. But Churchill hastily absconded with the report and warned everyone not to ever speak a word about it. –Katyn Massacre
They rounded them up. They loaded them into trucks. They tied their hands behind their backs, and they killed them.
They politely told them to turn around. They asked them to put their hands behind their backs. Then they shot them FUCKING dead.
Dead.
Dead as a fish. Dead. D-E-A-D.
When the atrocity was reported, the governments all, ordered it to be kept quiet and for no one to say a word about it.
Know your history.
You see, the progressive liberals; the communists wanted a complete extinction of all opposition in Poland. They destroyed anyone with knowledge. They eviscerated anyone with skills, ability or talent. They erased anyone who could organize against them.
You know…
People like YOU.
In the spring of 1940, Stalin and Lavrenty Beria planned to liquidate this potential source of opposition to Soviet control and gave orders to murder over 20,000 Polish officers.
The murders were carried out at several sites. The most famous was the NKVD burial ground at Katyn, near Minsk (today in Belarus), but killings were also carried out at Piatikhatki (near Kharkiv in Ukraine) and at Mednoye in Russia.
Other killing sites were never identified, although it is believed that another group of officers was placed on old barges towed out into the White Sea near the Arctic Circle and used for target practice by the Soviet Navy.
Those who died at Katyn included an admiral, two generals, 24 colonels, 79 lieutenant colonels, 258 majors, 654 captains, 17 naval captains, 3,420 NCOs, seven chaplains, three landowners, a prince, 43 officials, 85 privates, and 131 refugees.
One female air force officer was among the dead. Also among the dead were 20 university professors; 300 physicians; several hundred lawyers, engineers, and teachers; and more than 100 writers and journalists as well as about 200 pilots.
-Learning History
We know about this because, while Stalin ordered everyone to be
killed, their bodies were discovered by the Nazi’s that invaded Russia
the subsequent year. They heard about the bodies and they investigated.
They used the information and pictures of what they found as anti-Soviet propaganda.
There are memorials to this horrible massacre in the United States.
Though the progressive liberal democrats currently in power wants the
statues to be removed.
In Jersey City, a park official proposed relocating a monument of the massacre to a less-traveled locale. He argued this because he found it “a little gruesome”, adding that “I can’t imagine how many mothers go by and have to explain it to their children.”
The real truth, since he is a vocal socialist, is that he wants to erase history in order to pave the way for an eventual full progressive utopia .
This happened in Katyn, but also in Cambodia. As well as in China. It also happened in Cuba, North Korea, and Vietnam. Know your history. All of the ground-work is being laid down today for a near by future.
There will not be any leniency in this matter. If you are a threat,
maybe you wrote something, or maybe you said an off-hand comment at
work, you will be singled out. The “Diversity Officers” in your company
have a firm lock-grip on who is not “with the program”. Take heed.
You will be taken to the edge of a dug hole in the ground and you will be shot dead.
Dead.
Please kindly be advised that all of this will happen before you are aware that the SHTF.
You will wake up in the morning and dress like normal. You will drive in your car like normal, and get a coffee at a fast food restaurant like normal. The only thing out of the normal might be a friendly police officer that might pull you aside to "have a small chat with you".
Then you will turn around nicely while they put handcuffs on you. You will be entrapped long before you have any idea that things are going down. IT WILL NOT BE REPORTED, and you will be unaware.
Do you think that all those people killed in Katyn had any idea what awaited them? Do you think that those factory workers in Serbia had any idea how their day would end? Do you think that those teachers in Cambodia had any idea what would happen when they "worked the fields".
Be ready to be SURPRISED.
If you are handcuffed, you will stand there while they go through your house.
Betrayal is as old as man, but the pace and severity seems to be accelerating. It hasn’t touched you or me yet, but someday soon we will be told to “be patient, as we restore your account balance,” or “the FBI will not allow this to happen again,” or “we’ve made some mistakes in the past but we (the same people) will do better going forward.” Ya, thanks.

You WILL be disarmed.
You will watch them take your guns and throw them in a pile with zero concern. Guns that you would gingerly caress and hold with care would be tossed like rubbish onto the floor and into a pile.
In 1911, a national gun registration law was passed in Turkey, with no apparent ill intention beyond increasing public safety.
Four short years later…
In 1915, during the Great War, these gun registration lists were used to disarm the Armenian and other Christian populations.
Army battalions cordoned off entire towns and did gun sweeps.
Once disarmed, the official state violence visited against the Armenians ratcheted up to murderous levels.
Typically, on town-wide sweeps, all of the men and boys were taken away by the Turkish soldiers, never to be seen or heard from again.
Oh, yeah. America is “exceptional”. It could never happen here. Right?
Only after these Armenian “enemies of the state” were disarmed and completely helpless to resist did the final step begin: the officially sanctioned, ordered, led and conducted wholesale “deportations” of the Christian minorities from Turkey.
These “deportations” were in reality forced marches into fiery deserts, accompanied by pervasive sadistic cruelty comparable only to the Japanese “Bataan Death March,” and the less known but much more deadly death marches of the last surviving Jews in Nazi hands as the Red Army closed in on Germany.

You will be interrogated for any other guns, and your other family members will be separated from you. Your wife in one room, and your children in an other. They will play good cop – bad cop.
They will tell you that you own XXX number of guns, and that they don’t believe that they were all stolen. They will threaten you. They will search your house, they will tear it apart. You will find that they will wreck it and destroy precious valuables.
Oh they will go look for your guns. They will not take your excuses that they were stolen at face value. They will treat you as dangerous and will go ahead and look for them.
They might even have a metal detector.
Do not think that they will not be readily equipped. They might have dogs that can smell out gunpowder. They will be looking for your guns. That will be their purpose; to disarm you.
They will set you down and yell at you, and depending on the level of urgency, get physically violent with you. They will separate you from your family. They will scare the living Dejesus out of your loved ones.
The children, will of course, tell them where your hidden weapons are. No matter that you instructed them otherwise. The children will tell. THEY WILL TELL.
Your children WILL tell and report on you.
Your wife, well… that is touch and go. But, you can expect a 60% chance of her telling them anything just to let you guys live in peace. Any secret hiding places that they know about will be exposed for the police to get.
God thing that you have a very secret stash that ONLY YOU know about, eh?
A couple of months will pass from the time of collection to when you will start seeing a need to have a firearm.
How do we know?
That is the way it ALWAYS happens.
We know from history. We know from Bosnia. We know from Sierra Leone. We know from Germany. We know from Russia. We know from Poland. We know from Spain. We know. We know. We know.
We fucking know.
In the Turkish case, only a small clique understood the true purpose behind the gun registration and gun control laws of 1911. If average Turks thought about the gun laws at all, they probably believed they would actually lead to greater public safety, as advertised.
...
That was also generally the case with the Russians, Germans, Chinese, Cambodians, Guatemalans, Rwandans, and all the rest who were required to register or even turn in their firearms for “public safety,” and who accepted the demand at face value as a “reasonable” gun control measure, to their later regret.
...
American liberals who would like to see the Second Amendment torn out of the Constitution as a problematic relic of a bygone era generally do not know—or pretend not to know—this well-established historical pattern.
But American Constitutionalists, who are more often than not students of history, understand the pattern very well.
So, directly behind the insane faces of contemporary villains like Loughner, Holmes and Lanza, we see the smirking faces of Stalin, Hitler, and Mao, tyrants who did not murder individual victims by the fives and tens, but entire populations by the tens of millions.
...
And in each case, these national genocides were preceded by gun confiscation that was made possible by national firearms registration laws sold to a gullible population in the name of “public safety.”
...
Interestingly, during the bloody French Revolution’s “Great Terror” of 1793 to 1794, it was the “Committee of Public Safety” who condemned tens of thousands of French men and women to the guillotine or other forms of summary execution without trial.
...After previously being disarmed, of course.
-Bracken
Then, we will “hear of shootings”, and “events”. Not all of which will be reported.
You won’t know you are in danger until it is too late.
Often a singular incident will be used to obtain “advantage” by the forces that want to initiate the genocide. In Rwanda, the oligarchy shot down the plane carrying the Rwandan President and his chief of staff. This was enough for them to implement their plans.
...there is often a long delay between the stages of the registration-confiscation-extermination progression.
...
For example, national gun registration in Germany was implemented in the 1920s, without any immediate dire consequences. Then Hitler was elected and took dictatorial powers under the Enabling Act.
(Then) Beginning in 1938, Hitler used the gun registration lists to first disarm and then exterminate his enemies, primarily the Jews.
-Bracken
Oh, and by the way, do not think that this isn’t going to happen. It is. It’s just that the implementation schedule was thrown off track and delayed by the Donald Trump presidency.
Are you ready?
Because, I’m telling you directly, no one is stopping the progressive-Marxist takeover. It’s moving forward and in the long term, the Presidency of Donald Trump will only be considered a “speed bump” on the way towards Marxist utopia.
It is coming.
Remember, all genocides are preceded by gun confiscation. All gun confiscations are preceded by registration. Remember, you are your own first responder. FEMA has admitted that they can protect and/or rescue you. You are on your own and when you finally come to realize this fact, then you will plan accordingly, just like the people of Bosnia were forced to, or they perished.
Before the government takes away your guns, you need to acquire multiple guns with 2,000 rounds of ammunition each. Find hiding places for your guns. Learn how to conceal and carry without being obvious and the next time a would-be Manchurian candidate shooter walks into a mall or a theater, there will be someone there to take. Then the Deep State will be forced to come up with new false flags. But never, never, never give up your guns. The lessons of history speak loudly and clearly. The ties that binds our society are thin and they are weak. We are an event away from being Bosnia. Chicago is already in a state of 1990's Bosnia.

The Rwandan genocide was initiated, and put into motion, by the rich urban elite inside the cities. They used the Civil War as an opportunity to “cleanse” the nation of thought contrary to their ideology.
In a like manner, the political elite in the United States will use an “event” to initiate full scale genocide against others who do not share their ideology. It will be called a “Civil War” but it will be anything but civil.
The Disarming
“People who own guns are essentially a sickness in our souls who must be cleansed.”
-Colorado Senator (Majority Leader) John Morse. 2013 (Cleansed? “Final Solution” anyone?)
Never allow yourself to be disarmed. The promises that a pure and safe utopia will somehow arrive are all lies.
People, armed and trained, and most importantly WILLING to use the guns are the ONLY defense against genocide by wealthy oligarchs.
The second amendment to the Constitution is useless UNLESS citizens are trained, practiced, and ready to use the firearms.
You know all that horrible, horrible violence in Yugoslavia in the 1990’s all came to a head as soon as the population was disarmed. Yes, all those “deplorables clutching their guns” are correct.
Arms, ammunition, candles, lighters, antibiotics, gasoline, batteries and food. We fought for these things like animals. In these situations, it all changes. Men become monsters. It was disgusting. Strength was in numbers. A man living alone getting killed and robbed would be just a matter of time, even if he was armed.
-Commonsense Show
As soon as the people were stripped of their weapons, the “dogs of war” were unleashed. They didn’t even wait a full year. They banned guns, collected them, and then took a short breather.
A month, four tops.
Then they came after everyone who was disarmed. They used lists. They came after them and they killed them if they could not find any of the guns.
Scapegoating an unpopular group is standard operating procedure for budding socialist dictators wrecking once-free economies. For the Soviets, it was the Kulaks; for the Chinese it was the so-called “landlords.” I could list more recent cases to include Cambodia, Uganda, Guatemala, Rwanda and others. Once disarmed and helpless to resist, the hated national scapegoats are slaughtered by the millions.
Probably few Turks, Germans or Russians gave a thought to the ultimate aim of their new gun registration laws, passed quite plausibly in the name of public safety. But national gun registration is a slow-acting poison, sweet and easy to swallow, but potentially becoming deadly only years later, when a tyrant takes the reins of power and inevitably sends for the list. He begins with his most dangerous enemies and works his way through the list, marching the helpless scapegoats into deserts or gas chambers or gulags after disarming them.
In America today, we are seeing the beginning of an insidious scapegoating process, with older conservative white Christian males designated as the national Lucifer du jour, fair game for any vicious attack. Famous black movie stars joke about murdering white folks and white liberal media stars laugh along with them, conveying elite acceptance of the prevailing “evil whitey” meme.
Filled from birth on a steady diet of the pervasiveness of white racism in America, rage-filled urban youths across the nation play “the knockout game” with often fatal results for their randomly selected white or Asian victims. Meanwhile, the elite liberal media fail to notice the national scope of the almost weekly occurrences. Google “the knockout game” and start reading the dozens of local stories that the media refuse to connect or identify as part of a dangerous national trend.
And it doesn’t stop with knocking out random passers-by with sucker punches and then kicking them in head until they are dead, disfigured for life, or in comas. Have you ever heard of “The Knoxville Horror”? How about “The Wichita Horror”? Google them, read the local news articles about them, and ask yourself how much national media attention those cases and others like them would garner had the races been reversed.

First, the people have to be disarmed “for their safety”…
They came after everyone and they used lists.
“The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life,” Representative Maxine Waters told Roland Martin on Monday.
“That’s going to be very, very powerful,” Waters said. “That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that.
They’re going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can’t get around it. And he’s [President Obama] been very smart. It’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”
-The Gateway Pundit
They hunted them down, following the lists, and then killed them.
First of all I would like to remind you of the political situation before the war. The disintegration of Yugoslavia could not be stopped after Tito died in 1980. From 1981 the Serbian regime in Belgrade started to act in an even more nationalistic and chauvinist way than before.
During that time, for example, the Serbian military police killed several unarmed students by running them over with tanks at demonstrations in the mostly Albanian populated Kosovo.
In 1988 the Serbian regime took away the autonomous status of the provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina. In this way the Serbian regime violated the constitution of Yugoslavia.
During that time the Belgrade regime started to take control of weapons from all parts of the country.
-biserinternBtional
There are those who believe that it will not happen.
But I will tell you that it is only a matter of time. It WILL happen, and the progressive liberals are chomping at the bit just waiting for the day to disarm their enemies…YOU.
Right now there are some news articles about the police refusing to enforce gun laws, and other such things… like yet another total gun ban, and a news media going full-on with reporting of gun violence.
Hidden stockpiles of weapons lie hidden in progressive liberal strongholds. Their intended use is for armed insurrection in favor of a progressive Marxist ideology .
Make no mistake. They have been groomed to hate you with a bitterness that is palpable. There are caches of arms that are located in all of the major urban areas, and their objective is to go forth and collect you and your family, and exterminate you.
They have more false flags planned, and have tiger teams of activists waiting for “go aheads” once they believe that they have complete control of the DHS and military (as what was supposed to happen with Hillary Clinton as president).
The 2017 Las Vegas shooting was a pre-planned event. It was especially designed for a Hillary Clinton Presidency. Then, once in power, the formula of constant media barrage of anti-gun propaganda, the loss of many country and western fans, and an in-place “deep state” pretty much guaranteed banning of guns in the United States. Only one thing… Donald Trump was President. Not Hillary Clinton.
You know the reason, to use once they regain the levers of power in the United States. You don’t think that that Antifa that pose for public photos are representative of the real dangers that lie ahead. They are not.
The real danger still lies hidden, and they will go after you.
The progressive socialist Marxists, by what ever they want to call themselves these days, have been armed and groomed for genocide. make no mistake about that. They are going to come after YOU.
They are going to disarm YOU.
Then there will be a small breather…
Then they will round you and your family into “safe areas”, which are actually areas that THEY control.
There, you will be harmed, in the most horrible ways possible and then killed.
Know your history. Do not allow yourself to be disarmed. Never allow yourself to be disarmed. That is the worst thing that you can do. Do not be a fool. Disarmed people obey the government when they are herded into the cattle cars.
Planned Attacks
Once a “kick off” event is set in motion (what ever it is), history has shown that the instigating forces will have the following characteristics;
It will be planned, and designed to appear “organic” or spontaneous.
The instigators will be the wealthy elite of the United States.
They will have control of most of the organs of power in government.
They will have control or full backing of the media.
They will have control of the military, the police, and the air.
When the “event” unfolds, it will appear to be confused and chaotic. But that is just an illusion. In truth, historically there are numerous armed forces working together in unison. These forces are…
[1]Roving Bands of ideological youth
These are historically, poor urban males. They have been pre-fed a steady diet of hate towards a set group of people. They are worked into a frenzy through propaganda and drugs. They will be issued and equipped with weapons, including full automatic machine guns and grenade launchers. They will also be provided with trucks or four-wheel drive cars. They will be given lists of people to attack, and target cities or areas.
Taking those lists they will attack, seemingly randomly, like some kind of “wack a mole”.
.They will follow the targeting lists provided by the various instigators of the event.
.
These lists will consist of lightly defended areas, farms, small towns and communities. They will start at those nearest urban areas and fan outward from there.
.
Lists.
.
They will have lists.
Lists.
They will have lists.
Then they will search out anyone on those lists.
They may or may not be dressed in military clothing. However, they will have some kind of identification on them. This might be a scarf, a hat, or a string of beads.
After the war, we had guns in every house. The police confiscated lots of guns at the beginning of the war. But most of them we hid. Now I have one legal gun that I have a license for. Under the law, that’s called a temporary collection. If there is unrest, the government will seize all the registered guns. Never forget that.You know, there are many people who have one legal gun, but also illegal guns if that one gets seized. If you have good trade goods, you might be able to get a gun in a tough situation. But remember, the most difficult time is the first days, and perhaps you won’t have enough time to find a weapon to protect your family. To be disarmed in a time of chaos and panic is a bad idea.

[2]The Military
In most cases, the military is never trusted fully. While often those in power and who instigated the attacks have the backing of the military, it is never 100% guaranteed.
Thus, the military will be used to secure the urban centers, key buildings, structures and roads. Those who are in control will use the military to defend their strong points and only use them for special events when the need is required.
Often the military is told to “stand down”, and they will not know the full extent of what is going on. Often loyalists to the Constitution will have been purged from positions of control early on. Leaving the upper tiers of the military with ideological pawns for use by the oligarchy.
This almost always works. However, this was stopped when the troops are aware of news outside of the military channels. Such as in the Soviet Union.
The 1991 Soviet coup d’état attempt, also known as the August Coup (Russian: августовский путч, tr. Avgustovskiy Putch “August Putsch”), was an attempt by members of the government of the USSR to take control of the country from Soviet President and General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev. It was unsuccessful, and the troops ended up turning the tables on the oligarchy and conspirators.
Embedded Agents
Embedded confederates in key companies, offices, government and communities will feed back information on the success or failure of the effort. This will include the “diversity officers” at companies, as well as activists on university campuses, and local progressives in the communities all over the country.
"In controversial “implicit bias” training, New York City’s public-school educators have been told to focus on black children over white ones — and one Jewish superintendent who described her family’s Holocaust tragedies was scolded and humiliated, according to firsthand accounts. A consultant hired by the city Department of Education told administrators at a workshop that “racial equity” means favoring black children regardless of their socio-economic status, sources said."
- Teachers allegedly told to favor black students in ‘racial equity’ training
The Final Step
Of course, here is the real ugly part. It’s the last and final step. For the most part, it hasn’t happened yet. However, once there is a Progressive majority in the Congress, the Executive and the Judicial branches of government it WILL OCCUR.
It was only a “miracle” that the event was postponed by the election of Donald Trump. Everything is still in place. They are just biding their time until they can initiate the planned genocide.
I will say it plainly and boldly. Know your history. It is a roadmap of what to expect.
Read. Remember.
Sarajevo was an Olympic city back when Ronald Reagan was President. Under Bill Clinton, it was under siege. It was shelled by tanks, artillery, aircraft, attacked by snipers and machine guns, and the residents either starved or died of horrific wounds.
Do not be under the impression that Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Charlotte, Denver, Hattiesburgh, or Dallas / Fort Worth couldn’t be another Sarajevo. They could easily be.
About the photo above;
Liepaja Massacres: Shocking Photos Taken by Nazi Perpetrators of Jewish Women Moments Before Their Execution in Skede, Latvia on December 15-17, 1941
The murders in the dunes at Skede on the Baltic shore, some fifteen kilometers north of the city and about a kilometer from the road towards the sea, began as early as July 1941. Some 200 Jews were murdered there.
During a three-day massacre on December 15-17, 1941, German and Latvian units killed 2,749 Jews, more than half of Liepaja’s Jewish population. Preparations for the operation began some days before. On December 13, 1941, Liepaja Police Chief Obersturmbannfuehrer Fritz Diedrich placed an announcement in the Latvian newspaper Kurzemes Vards stating that Jews were forbidden to leave their living quarters on Monday, December 15, and Tuesday, December 16.
On the night of December 13, Latvian police forces began to arrest Liepaja’s Jews not yet concentrated in the ghetto. The victims were brought to the Women’s Prison, where Jews of all ages were crammed into the courtyard. The Jews were ordered to stand with their faces towards the wall, and warned not to move or look around for relatives or at the watchmen. Some were transported to Skede on the evening of the following day and crowded into a barn (a wooden structure, described also as a garage).
In the early morning of December 15, a column of victims was driven from Liepaja by Latvian policemen, under the supervision of the German SD, to the same barn in Skede where Jews from the prison had been taken. They were taken in groups of twenty to a site forty to fifty meters from a deep ditch dug in the dunes nearby, parallel to the shore. The ditch was about three meters wide and 100 meters long. There they were forced to lie face down on the ground. Groups of ten were then ordered to stand up and, apart from the children, to undress, at first to their underwear and then, when taken near the ditch, completely. They were shot by a German unit, the Latvian SD Platoon headed by Lt. Peteris Galins, and a Latvian Schutzmannschaften team.
During the murder operation, the Jews were placed along the side of the ditch nearest the sea, facing the water. The killing squad was positioned across the ditch, with two marksmen shooting at the same victim. Children who could walk were treated as adults, but babies were held by their mothers and killed with them. A “kicker” rolled in those corpses that did not fall directly into the ditch. After each volley, a German SD man stepped into the ditch to inspect the bodies and finish off anyone who showed signs of life.
The clothes were piled up in heaps and taken away by German military trucks. During the murder operation, Carl Strott and another officer, Erich Handke, took pictures with a Minox, and senior Wehrmacht and navy officers visited the site.
These photos were found by a Jewish man named David Zivcon, who worked as an electrician at the SD headquarters in Liepaja. A few weeks or months after the execution, he was sent to fix something at Strott’s residence, and notices four negative reels in a partially open drawer. He took them, made copies with the help of a friend, and smuggled them back to the apartment after making up an electricity problem. He put the copies in a box and buried them in a stable. After liberation, he took the photos and handed them to Soviet Intelligence officers. The photos were eventually presented as evidences at the Nuremberg trials. It's all on historical record.
Today, a Google image-reverse image search comes up with "hits" saying that this image and others are fake. Nonsense. Why are the progressive democrat Marxists so Hell-bent on erasing this particular part of history from the record...
The “end game” for the progressive liberals.
Historically, the final step is NEVER pretty. Historically, those who are isolated are rounded up and eliminated from public discourse by a combination of methods with isolation, imprisonment, and death being but a small part of it.
It doesn’t matter if the progressive takeover took place last year, twenty years ago, fifty years ago, one hundred years ago of 5000 years ago. It is always the same.
It is always the same.
It's an age often described as one of social unrest, leading to an "apocalyptic nightmare of violence, warfare, and cannibalism." A Neolithic mass grave in Germany shows the idea may not be far wrong… Christian Meyer and his fellow researchers now believe they have enough evidence to explain "conclusively" what happened at the site of a mass grave in Schöneck-Kilianstädten, near Frankfurt, around 5207-4849 BC.
If they are right, their findings may help our understanding of early social unrest among the first Central European farmers of the Neolithic era…
The site at Schöneck-Kilianstädten reveals a "new violence-related pattern: the intentional and systematic breaking of lower limbs." At least 26 people at the site were tortured and systematically beaten before being thrown into a pit.
Most of the victims were men and children aged between 12 and 13 years. The researchers found evidence of only two women, estimated to have been older than 40.
It suggests any younger women -- for example, mothers of the children -- were abducted… Their theory chimes with evidence found at two other Neolithic massacre sites: one at Talheim, Germany and the other at Asparn/Schletz, Austria… Among the men and children in the mass grave, Meyer and the team found many damaged skulls, fractured calves and shins… Meyer says the three sites together prove that as early as 7000 years ago, acts of "collective violence" were common.
The transformation will be absolutely complete when they take away guns. Then, only the rulers will have weapons. Oh, what a dangerous time that will be. (Have you ever wondered why people in the Democrat party are so absolutely focused in disarming the population? Well you should.)
Then, once the people are disarmed, then the “real” changes can take place.
Oh, this will be a dangerous time to be an American, I’ll tell you what. I shouldn’t need to tell you what will happen then. It will just be a repeat of what has always happened once people are disarmed in a nation that is an oligarchy.
When you cannot fight back, they can do what ever they want with you.
But we have the “Bill of Rights”…
The “Bill of Rights” is only as good as their enforcement. How can there be a fourth amendment (to the bill of Rights) AND a Utah Data Collection Center? You know, a center that collects your private “papers and data” for government inspection and use.
How can there be 5000 anti-gun laws on the books nationwide when the 2nd Amendment to the Bill of Rights still exists? It does say “shall NOT be infringed”.
If you have been paying attention, you the reader, should know all the progressive arguments. “(That) one’s individual freedom is not nearly as important as the needs of the defenseless children.”
Pretty fucked up, as you should realize that once the rights of the majority are more important than individual rights… there are no individual rights. Duh!
Anyways, the point is that the United States government is dismantling our rights one by one and offering nothing in return except empty promises.
American RIGHTS are being dismantled one by one, and NOT ONE PERSON is defending them.
There can only be one singular result to this. Make no mistake about it. Once the Rights no longer exist, and their preservation is not enforced, then there are no Rights. As such, the government can do what ever it wants with you.
How can you have rights when you are banned from having a bank account?
The left is boxing the right in. Little by little, our allowed speech on the big tech platforms is shrinking. But too many conservatives aren’t sounding the warning bells. They think it won’t happen to them. However, we’re no longer talking about those on the fringe like Alex Jones of Infowars, Milo Yiannopoulos and Tommy Robinson. The censorship is happening to regular conservatives. It’s here, and shows no sign of letting up.
-The Left has u walking on eggshells
How can you have rights, if you are not permitted to defend them?
The logic is clear. The reasoning is simple, and the result is stark.
Get Ready for the “SHTF Event”.
It will happen.
It’s only a matter of time. The only question is to what extent it will occur, and whether or not you and your family will be in the line of fire.
Keep this in mind…
Big changes always need a catalyst or major event to “kick off” a domino effect. This is very important to realize. All one needs to do is to look at historical examples. Then look at what is going on in the United States today.
“People who own guns are essentially a sickness in our souls who must be cleansed.”
-Colorado Senator (Majority Leader) John Morse. 2013 (Cleansed? “Final Solution” anyone?)
They WILL disarm you.
They will continue to demonize you and you will NOT fight back.
No one ever wins a defensive war. You need to strike at the leadership’ their enclaves, their minions and their families. Do not fight a defensive war.

Stories that Inspired Me
Here are reprints in full text of stories that inspired me, but that are nearly impossible to find in China. I place them here as sort of a personal library that I can use for inspiration. The reader is welcome to come and enjoy a read or two as well.

You’ll not find any big banners or popups here talking about cookies and privacy notices. There are no ads on this site (aside from the hosting ads – a necessary evil).

Everything is currently in place for a full-scale genocide against “the privileged white”, the “rural deporables”, and the “crackers who are racist and love slavery”. You know who they are targeting. Yet, somehow everything thinks that all this narrative is organic. That it grew into being on it’s own. Wrong. It is cultivated, and intentional to drum up hatred and zeal to “transform America”.
“The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life,” Representative Maxine Waters told Roland Martin on Monday.
“That’s going to be very, very powerful,” Waters said. “That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can’t get around it. And he’s [President Obama] been very smart. It’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”

Political Commissars
One of the things that occurred during the Obama Administration was
the creation of “Diversity Officers”. The administration was very active
in this regard and today you will find them in every single Fortune 500
Company in the United States.
A “Diversity Officer” is a “Political Commissar”.
Their sole purpose of existence is to promote and force-feed a
progressive liberal socialist agenda in the majority of workplaces in
the nation.
The University of California at San Diego, for example, is creating a new full-time “vice chancellor for equity, diversity, and inclusion.”
This position would augment UC San Diego’s already massive diversity apparatus, which includes the Chancellor’s Diversity Office, the associate vice chancellor for faculty equity, the assistant vice chancellor for diversity, the faculty equity advisors, the graduate diversity coordinators, the staff diversity liaison, the undergraduate student diversity liaison, the graduate student diversity liaison, the chief diversity officer, the director of development for diversity initiatives, the Office of Academic Diversity and Equal Opportunity, the Committee on Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Issues, the Committee on the Status of Women, the Campus Council on Climate, Culture and Inclusion, the Diversity Council, and the directors of the Cross-Cultural Center, the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Resource Center, and the Women’s Center.
-Minding the Campus
When you see that saying “Merry Christmas” is banned, you can thank a
“diversity officer”. When you see a company spending millions of
dollars on an advertisement talking about “toxic masculinity”, you can
thank a “diversity officer”. When you see “whites not permitted”
meetings, or hours, you can thank a “diversity officer”. When you see
advertisements excluding white males… you can count on it be initiated
by a political commissar.
As long as these people exist in the United States, the nation will transform and stay progressive.
These political commissars are particularly dangerous when SHTF. This is because…
They make lists of potential dissidents and non-conformists.
They are ideological, and make decisions on emotion.
They are in strong positions of power.
They push a progressive liberal agenda in EVERY regard.
They will prosecute against anyone based on ideology.
These lists are dangerous, as they WILL be used against you. The history books are full of such examples.
These political commissars play an important role in shaping how society evolves, and aids in singling out obstacles to the Marxist ideology. Not only that, but tons of money are pouring towards their employment and progressive liberal activities.
During the September campaign, Soviet NKVD and Red Army troops shot numerous Polish prisoners when they surrendered, especially officers. Members of ethnic minorities—Ukrainians, Belarussians, Jews, and Lithuanians were encouraged to settle scores with local Poles for any real or imagined mistreatment.
The civilian population suffered extreme repression. Approximately 1.5 million civilians were deported to the gulags.
-Learning History
Do not be under the impression that there are only a mere handful of
political commissars in the United States. That is an illusion founded
on ignorance. Check out this screen shot of a search for “Diversity
Officers” in the United States on LinkedIN.
Far from enjoying supremacy, white males are denied equality. They are discriminated against in university admissions and employment. Free speech is denied to them. According to military wives, white males are being denied promotions while the military achieves diversity balancing. Google fires white males for stating basic facts. White school boys are being browbeat and feminized. The charge of white supremacy is being used to herd white people to the back of the bus. While they sit there and suck their thumbs, white people are being propagandized out of existence.
-Paul Craig Roberts
Providing Domestic Police with Expanded Powers
Up until 9-11, there was no such thing as a “Federal Police”, the DHS or Department of Homeland Security. It did not exist. That is simply because the Constitution forbade the use of soldiers on American soil. What the Constitution says is only as good as the leadership in obeying and following it.
America is what it is today because no one is following the Constitution.
In fact, the conservatives are "hands tied" trying to implement change and correct things by trying to obey the Constitution. Meanwhile, the socialists break laws and rules left and right, with no self-restraint.
Well, of course, just because the Constitution says it can’t happen doesn’t mean that it won’t. You just give it a new name.
And the mass murder of the Soviets and Nazis is simply no longer needed in today’s world for them to secure mass compliance.
Today, they have refined the game. You can lose your job, your healthcare, you can be legally harassed civilly and criminally until bankruptcy.
They can destroy your reputation because they have access to every single data point in your life back to high school and earlier.
They can “find” child porn in your computer or “find” cocaine in your car, or a Blasey-Ford to say you raped her sometime between 80 and 85.
You are almost certain to have violated one of the hundreds of thousands of Byzantine laws in the Federal code. They can ban your social media communications and websites.
In short, the communists and fascists of today have very little need to put a bullet in your head anymore. In the 1930s and 40s, that was the only way they had to shut you up. That was the model-T world, today they are in a Tesla world.
I think they enjoy the new techniques even better.
Instead of calling it a military force you call it a police force.
And, now we know what that friendly “police force” is up to, don’t we?
Today we have numerous domestic military forces. Not just the DHS, but
the FBI, the NSA and of course the dreaded “goose-stepping” IRS.
Today, if you do not have mandatory medical insurance you must pay the fine and it is enforced by the most feared federal agency in the United States; the dreaded IRS.
Not only that, but President Obama gave the IRS military weapons, tanks, and a complete SWAT team. All to be used against tax evasion. But, only American citizens pay taxes, so that means that all these military weapons are being used domestically against Americans.
Why against Americans? I thought that the United States Constitution was very clear that NO MILITARY of any type shall be used by the government against Americans. Maybe they have other plans…
Incidents of Conflict with supporting Media coverage demanding “action”
Once it is clear who the enemies are, the progressive socialist machine will ramp up attacks. This will be in the form of random groups of individuals who will be permitted to conduct violence without consequence, and coordinated attacks.
This may take the form of a “major event”. Like a plane crash killing the President or some senior level officials. It might be initiated by a mass murder using a selection of firearms which pretty much resulted in the disarming of the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
Works like a charm – every time.
It might vary from a mob chasing a boy wearing a MAGA hat, and
beating him senseless, to individuals taking a weapon and shooting up a
Country and Western Concert, or even attacking Conservatives at a
baseball game.
The media would then start to drum up a constant war beat…
Collect and ban all guns.
Arrest and go “nuclear” on gun owners.
Disarm all “identified enemies of progressive thought”
Censor their Social Media.
Censor their major media outlet and famous personalities.
Attack how they speak at work and at school.
Place limits on tradition and holidays.
You need to be reminded what lies in store for you once you are disarmed. Never forget that once the Polish Jews were disarmed, they were sent to a “safe place”. This became known as the Warsaw Ghetto and thousands died there.
...how about a paper in an approved and sanctioned semi-official U.S. military publication, written by a War College professor in good standing. Serious enough for you? Google the “Small Wars Journal” piece entitled “Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A Vision of the Future,” by Colonel Kevin Benson, USA (ret), 2012.
The “full spectrum operations” envisaged for the Army in the homeland are not made against hypothetical hostile drug cartels in the Southwest, or urban gangs, or the traditionally ambiguous and vague “Pineland Liberation Group,” or “Orangeland People’s Front,” hypothetical stand-ins named to offend no one, not even by accident.
This long-standing neutral naming protocol is tossed aside in “Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland,” where the new domestic enemy that the U.S. Army must crush is a neo-KKK, a white racist “Tea Party terrorist” organization, headquartered in, of all places, Darlington, South Carolina. Yes, the NASCAR Darlington.
Anybody who has been in or near an actual Tea Party event or rally knows the crowd is made up mainly of an older white population, a quiet group that leaves no mess behind, not even a stray poster, and causes no fuss.
Yet “Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland” postulates that these white grandpas and grannies will be the very group that the U.S. Army will be called upon to crush in its first major battles on American soil since 1865. The message this paper sends throughout the upper ranks of the War-College-trained military, actually naming an ethnic group—Southern whites—as the national enemy to “hypothetically” be crushed by the Army in the year 2016, is simply mind-boggling.
The path forward that is indicated by the media’s growing acceptance of these vile and outrageous anti-white celebrity rants, cartoons, and articles is the same path that in previous eras led to the guillotine, the gulag, and the gas chamber for the scapegoated populations. But the final solution—genocide of the scapegoats—is only possible after the mob is sufficiently inflamed with hatred toward them by the mass media, in collaboration with an evil government. And time after time, it works.
We are seeing the opening stages of the scapegoating of white conservatives today, as the last election seems to demonstrate to the left’s satisfaction that a crucial political and demographic tipping point has been passed, and the ultimate power equations of raw tribal loyalty have changed in a fundamental way—and now it’s payback time.
We have seen this play out before in other countries and times, and it is deadly serious. Once the scapegoating gets far enough under way, it can pick up a life and a momentum of its own. For example, if the economy ever truly crashes, and the EBT system that feeds fifty million Americans goes down hard, leading to hunger, looting, and riots, (or we suffer other unforeseen problems of similar crisis proportions), the scapegoats will always be dragged to the forefront as the pre-designated patsy, to deflect blame from the government.

Never Forget
Isolation and “ProtectionsNever Forget
Remember Animal Farm from back when you were in school and they taught it as a chilling warning about socialism instead of as a how-to manual? Remember the horse who got worked nearly to death then got sent to the glue farm?
Guess what? You’re the horse.
Your job is to work to generate taxes and feed the cities and defend the country while your betters clink Chardonnay glasses between bouts of redistributing the fruits of your labor to buy the votes of their slack Democrat political constituencies.
And besides being the engine that powers the establishment, you also fulfill another important function. You’re the liberal elite’s punching bag, the scapegoat, the convenient excuse for every flaw, failing and foul-up in the society that very same elite runs.
You don’t get the credit you’re due; instead you get scorn, because that scorn both gins up the elite’s dopey allies and acts to keep you in line. It’s a stick to beat you and a chain to bind you.
-Townhall
Once the enemies of the “New Progressive Order” are identified, and they are sufficiently isolated into small groups or easily identified, the next step is to have the government come in and offer “protections” for them.
Of course, these protections are anything but protections. They are just a means of rounding up and collecting dissenters.
“Protections” will be necessary, you see to keep people safe from the roving bands of ideological youth. Of whom, I must remind the reader, has that exact purpose. They are the terror sheep dogs that help corral the sheep to be fleeces.
Remember when the socialists say “to protect” they mean “to control”.
We cannot forget how all the Jews in Germany were rounded up. They were told that they were going to protective enclaves so that no one would harm them. So people packed their luggage and boarded the trains. Let’s not forget the idea of wearing a bright yellow star on the clothing.
That was for identification so that the individual could be “protected“.
Or what happened in ISIS occupied Syria…
The government will step in to “protect you”.
Oh yes they will. The media will all discuss how it is so very
important to put you and your family into “protected” farms and camps.
They will televise smiling and happy people boarding buses and trains.
If you don’t go willingly, they will force you. You know, “for your
protection”.
Just in case you might think that it would never happen here, you are wrong. It is already happening
here. On certain university campuses, white students are being told
that they must wear a “White Privilege” badge on the outside of their
clothing.
The College Fix is reporting that the Elizabethtown College Democrats want white students to wear White Privilege Pins wherever they go. Covered here at Patriotretort.
So much for “it will never happen here.
A North Carolina “English” “teacher” issued “her” students a work sheet titled “Diversity Inventory”. And then began an in-class exercise requiring high school students to categorize their family, friends, and themselves into several different groups.
Ai! It’s a scene right out of George Orwell’s novel 1984.
Motherboard then released a report on Tuesday, showing how T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T are selling their customers’ location data, and some of that data was ending up in the hands of bounty hunters and unauthorized people, letting them track virtually any phone in the US.
In Motherboard’s report, the smartphone they located was using the T-Mobile network. For Motherboard's staff to receive the location, the data traveled through a complex system of companies, starting with T-Mobile, before going to a location aggregator called Zumigo.
Zumigo then sold it to a firm called Microbilt, which provides access to a variety of industries, including bounty hunters.
The bounty hunter then sold it to a source, and that source finally sold it to Motherboard.
- AT&T Stops Selling Location Data Of Americans To Bounty Hunters
There was a reason that the 2nd Amendment was placed in the Constitution. The mere attempt to regulate it, minimize it, restrict it or impede in the free exercise of it, is a FULL-ON screeching alert that tyranny is present.
And no. I am not talking about the latest encroachments. I am talking about the first encroachments back in the early 1900’s. I am also talking about the FAILURE of our elected officials in allowing all this encroachment.
Keep in mind this SHTF advice…
Never travel alone or in groups that were too big — always two to three men. All armed, travel swift, in the shadows, cross streets through ruins, not along open streets.There were many gangs 10 to 15 men strong, some as large as 50 men. But there were also many normal men, like you and me, fathers and grandfathers, who killed and robbed. There were no “good” and “bad” men. Most were in the middle and ready for the worst...

Oh, and “they” WILL take your guns away. Just a quick reminder…
I just read a “story”, actually twitter posts, from a “liberal” who has decided not to wait for the red flag laws.
He simply called Child Protective Services and reported he suspected his neighbor of abusing his own pre-teen daughter. Within hours the was a raid, an arrest, a child taken into custody, a life destroyed, and a gleeful follow-up post.
What did the “neighbor” do you ask? His heinous crime? He had a “Trump 2020” sticker on his vehicle. The words “child abuse” get more action than “a man with a gun”. It is harder to defend against. And very seldom verified before the raid.
I really don’t know how to defend against this kind of misuse of the legal system. It’s too late for this “neighbor” but always remember “opsec”. Any ideas?

Trump’s 40-45 percent of the nation is not only being constantly castigated and demonized by the establishment media but it is also being told that, in the not far distant future, it will be demographically swamped by the rising numbers of new migrants pouring into the country.
Your time is about up, it hears.
And most of the Democratic candidates have admitted that, if elected, the border wall will never be built, breaking into the country will cease to be a crime, ICE will be abolished, sanctuary cities will be expanded, illegal immigrants will be eligible for free health care and, for millions of people hiding here illegally, amnesty and a path to citizenship will be granted.
America, they are saying, will be so unalterably changed in a few years, your kind will never realize political power again, and your America will vanish in a different America where the Squad and like-minded leftists set the agenda.
Will the deplorables, who number in the scores of millions, accept a future where they and their children and children’s children are to submit to permanent rule by people who visibly detest them and see them as racists, sexists and fascists?
Will Middle America go gentle into that good night?

When the American second civil war occurs (CWII), it will be an ideological genocide. It will follow the identical patterns that have happened in all of the genocides of the twentieth century. How do we know?
Because the identical pre-genocide preparations have already been put in place.
No matter what – Avoid the cities.
As a quick reminder, whether you are in the rural areas, a small town, or on the road. Avoid the cities. This is where your enemies want you to stream towards. It’s a trap. It’s a snare.
The idea is to herd people into places where they are trapped and can be easily controlled. There will be urban youth terrorizing the rural areas, small towns and communities, and this will create a situation where everyone will start to stream into the “safe” cities.
It won’t be safe.
People will be collected, processed and used or killed. They will use lists. This here, is how the lists will come into being…

Oh, and make no mistake. They will try to seize power, and in many ways they actually HAVE the advantage.
They have ADVANTAGE.
And they will be better armed, and trained than what you are expecting.
Normalcy bias is a common theme when you think you’re the only ones in the room. And because of that bias coupled with the election in 2016, many went to sleep. But you are not alone- not by a long shot. The Left has that same momentum and drive that you had between 2008-2015, but they differ in the facts that their mass base skewers far younger, they have a legal system and media providing overhead cover for their actions, and from our observation, their level and speed of organization have far surpassed what the Right was able to accomplish in twice the time. Tactical Hermit lays out many facts about their levels of organization with a large number of embedded links detailing their own resources and training programs. You don’t have to like it, but you do have to face it. And they’ll continue to seize the initiative while you flounder, failing to understand the reality of the situation. -NCS
*****************
Since Donald Trump was elected President in 2016 and the left-tards started throwing public temper tantrums akin to five year-old’s who do not get their way, the general consensus in the Conservative Patriot Community was “What do we really have to fear from a group of people with purple hair who don’t even know which bathroom to use?” but recent tragic events at the ICE Detention Center in Washington State requires all of us to prudently re-evaluate the REALISTIC THREAT LEVEL these people and their organizations really pose.

Once, the progressive socialists come to power, they reshape everything in their image.
Later on, other private parts were weaponized, and the political movement of LGBT was born. It largely succeeded in bringing down the Boy Scouts and normalizing something that was considered abnormal through the entirety of written human history. Such abnormalities, if they were confined into private bedrooms, were widely tolerated for millennia, but the political weaponization injected these abnormalities into the public domain, including LGBT brainwashing in public schools.
Leftism spread in human society like a contagious virus and carried with it a total weaponization of everything. Leftism, being a totalitarian ideology, could not settle for anything less than total weaponization.
The modern political weaponization of everything is very similar to the old communist idea of the militarization of everything. For example, concentration camps — leftists prefer to call them "re-education camps" — were introduced by communist Leon Trotsky in order to create "labor armies" to demonstrate that socialism is better than capitalism. The idea was to crush capitalism by over-producing and out-profiting it due to practically nonexistent personal expenses in such hard labor camps. When the National Socialists came to power, they liked the idea of the concentration camps very much, and they continue to call them "re-education camps" officially.
The total weaponization has reached science (recall the "global cooling" hoax, which got transformed into the "global warming" hoax), media (recall the complete evolution of modern media into open propaganda outlets, where journalists act as ideological soldiers), culture (an idea of "cultural Marxism" by Antonio Gramsci), religion (recall Black Liberation Theology), sports, and many other endeavors.
The election of socialist Barack Obama as the president of the United States was the peak of leftism. This peak was unique, a once-in-human-civilization event, that allowed for the weaponization of institutions — like the IRS and U.S. spy agencies (CIA, FBI, all seventeen of them). Also, health care was weaponized (Obamacare), as well as the United Nations. The trade unions had been weaponized around the same time as genitalia, and by the same people, but only President Obama managed to use unions as political assault weapons. (Recall the General Motors saga.)
There are certain elements to this. For starters, everything becomes tied; financially, politically, socially, and economically to the socialist cause.
If it is Football, then you can be sure that every game, and every statement they make, and every endorsement that they have, in some way promotes the socialist cause.
If it is coffee, you can be sure that every socialist cause and issue will be promoted.
If it is education, you can be sure that all the children will be taught how to think and what to think according to socialist ideology.
In twenty-five years, we went from arguing that it must be legal to burn the American flag to punishing someone who burns an LGBTP flag with fifteen years in prison.
- Brett Stevens at Periscope
But with all this realignment, comes the resistance to it. It happens every time, and it is predictable in so far as it exists. So, one of the first things that the progressive socialists do is identify who their enemies are.
They identify who their enemies are, and they put their names on a list.
These are the people who will oppose their efforts.
They identify them. They call them out, and they make it plain as day that “real” progressive socialists won’t have anything to do with these “enemies of the people”.
Today in America, these are the enemies…
White people.
Anyone who is friends with white people.
Climate change deniers.
Traditionally-minded people.
Gun owners.
People from a predominantly “red” state.
Religious people (with the exception of Muslims).
Heterosexual people and traditional marriages.
Anyone or anything associated with traditional America
In America, it is “White Privilege”.
“I do not believe in people owning guns. Guns should be owned only by [the] police and military. I am going to do everything I can to disarm this state.”
-Michael Dukakis
Political Correctness is a blanket term that today is used to demonize and isolate.
“Why do I even worry about some silly little statue coming down? Or some silly little street names changing? Why do I even care?” she asked.
“It’s because the last time I didn’t care,” the woman then said, answering her own question. “The last time, I didn’t care about this as a teenager — I have already lived through these things when I was living in Venezuela.”
“Statutes came down, [Hugo] Chavez didn’t want that history this way. And then he changed the street names, then came the [school] curriculum. And then some movies couldn’t be shown on TV channels, and so on and so forth,” she said.
Talking to Americans, the woman pointed out that she has heard it said that these things can’t happen here.
“But always been on guard, never believe that something can’t happen to you,” she cautioned. “You need to guard your country, your society, or it will be destroyed.”
“We didn’t believe it could happen to us, we Venezuelans,” she said. “Cubans warned us, and we were like, ‘We know what freedom is like, that’s not going to happen here.'”
“Yet, it happened,” she concluded."
-Venezuelan woman begs Americans to wake up: This is how it starts. Cubans warned us, we didn’t think it could happen to us.
It goes by other names in other nations. But by whatever name is of no consequence. What is important is how it is used, and what it’s purpose is. For it prevents a person from saying what they truly think.
History is full of reminders in how to use terminology like this.
The dehumanization and objectification of political adversaries is always used in the preparation and justification for mass murder. This came into sharp focus as an effective weapon during the French Revolution. As well as other “revolutions”, “civil wars”, or “conflicts”. They are almost always genocidal events initiated by the richest people in the nation.
The specific insults morph to fit the circumstances and the times. each time it is a new and different term; a new name. Yet, each insult is designed to have the same effect — to dehumanize and to objectify a group of people.
These are the people in opposition to the dominant group that has seized power and the legal mechanisms of the State.
The insults and attacks serve a purpose to strengthen the ideology of young easily manipulated people who can be the disposable “soldiers” of the cause. This always happens.
It is predictable.
Here is a partial list of the defamatory names of condemnation. Pay attention. These are utilized by tyrannical regimes. These well map out the fate meted out to people so branded:
1793, France Enemies of the people Enemies of the revolution Girondists Indulgents Aristocrats Criminal Clergy Criminals against Liberty
These terms were used often, and resulted in mass executions by guillotine in Paris and cities across France. Additionally, there was total and complete genocide against the Catholic clergy, nuns and laity of La Vendee.
You see. They weren’t “progressive” enough.
In France, it was “Aristrocrat Privilege”.
Well, that was France. Just France. Well, look at what happened in Russia. Know your history.
1917, Russia Bourgeois Capitalists Counter-Revolutionaries Reactionaries Political deviants Kulaks Czarists Trotskyites Mental defectives
All this resulted in mass executions by firing squad, mass graves. There was imprisonment and torture in Lubuanka and Leforto prisons. Millions starved to death. Others sentenced to hard labor in Siberia. Know your history.
In Russia, it was “Trotskyite Privilege”.
Well, that was just two examples, the argument goes. Ok, then. Let’s look at China…
1966, China Class enemies Landlords Bad elements Rightists Rich peasants Impure elements Revisionists
Of course, this resulted in re-education camps, sanctioned mass murder by Red Guards, torture, imprisonment, and starvation.
In China, it was “Revisionist Privilege”.
And now, today in the United States. Ah, you say…. “It could never happen here.” That’s what everyone is saying…right?
2016, USA Deplorables Racists Sexists Homophobes Xenophobes Islamophobes Irredeemables Nazis White Privaledge
What could possibly happen?
In America it will be “White privilege”.
What makes these derogatory blanket terms salient and potentially dangerous is that they were intentionally uttered publicly in front of an audience of admirers in 2016 by Hillary Clinton. And, when she uttered these words; words designed to minimize other Americans, and trivialize them, the crowd burst into clamorous applause.
She did so in possession of all the levers of State power. She did so and used these defamatory, inflammatory, dehumanizing terms to describe en masse tens of millions of American citizens. People like me, and like YOU, the reader.
De-arming the citizens
Genocide can only happen once the citizens are disarmed. Then you can lie to them, and convince them to obey you. Works every time. It works like a charm.
There are multiple avenues that the Marxists are taking to disarm Americans. This should be obvious to everyone. But there are other avenues of approach that are being done in secret and are hidden. One of which was by UN treaty.
Luckily on “pause” for now…
President Trump signed an executive memorandum officially notifying the United Nations that the United States was withdrawing its support for a United Nations-backed treaty former Secretary of State John Kerry signed in 2013.
With this action — “un-signing” a treaty document — Trump sent a clear, unambiguous, and long-overdue signal to the domestic and international gun control movement, that since 2001 had been pressing for a U.N. foothold to regulate firearms use and possession within our country: “Back off!”
In signing this document, Trump drove a stake into the heart of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT); and our Second Amendment is the stronger for that action.
Oh, the outcry from the left! New Jersey’s Bob Menendez, ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, wailed that in taking this “disturbing” action, Trump was “[jeopardizing] U.S. security.” Rachel Stohl, managing director for the Stimson Center in the nation’s capital, somehow concluded that the president’s action will “harm the American economy.” The common catchword by these and other globalists in describing the ATT that is now dead to the United States, was — as always for the gun control movement – “common sense.”
In fact, there was nothing “common sense” about this document and the ongoing process to make it the operative mechanism for international gun control.
Always seeking relevance and power since it was established in the immediate aftermath of WWII, the U.N. has worked for nearly two decades to shoehorn gun control into its “world peace” mission. In this, it has been strikingly successful, with some 130 countries signing the ATT and over 100 actually ratifying it and becoming thereby fully and legally bound by its terms. The U.N. even convinced the Obama Administration to sign onto it and submit it to the U.S. Senate for ratification, where it sat until Trump’s April 29 action pulling it back.
Despite the long-standing effort by ATT proponents to present the Treaty as a purely international instrument affecting only export and import of firearms, lurking within its broad parameters and underlying authorities is a catalog of gun control measures that each signing country (which had included the United States) commits to act consistent with.
This list of what Menendez and Stohl (and others) describe as “common sense” measures includes, among others:
• Restricting civilian possession of firearms only to those “at the lowest risk of misusing them.” (Violation of the 2nd amendment.)
• Limiting sales and other transfers of firearms only to commercial transactions at licensed “sales premises” (in other words, no transfers at gun shows).
• Only persons licensed and periodically re-licensed by the national government could possess firearms. (Violation of the 2nd amendment.)
• All firearms must be registered with the national government. (Violation of the 4th amendment.)
• All persons wishing to possess a firearm must pass a rigorous exam administered by the national government. (Violation of the 2nd amendment.)
• All firearms must be stored in locked containers separate from ammunition, and “bolted to a heavy or immovable object.” (Violation of the 2nd amendment.)
• Only a pre-determined number of firearms and rounds of ammunition may be possessed by a properly licensed civilian. (Violation of the 2nd amendment.)
• Magazine capacity is limited to 10 rounds. (Violation of the 2nd amendment.)
• No firearm could be possessed before at least a seven-day waiting period.
• No civilian could own or possess a firearm for self-defense unless they first demonstrate a clear and convincing need.(Violation of the 2nd amendment.)
• Individuals licensed to own firearms are subject to periodic and random inspections of their homes or businesses (Violation of the 4th amendment)
• In order to be granted a license to possess a firearm, an individual must secure recommendations from “responsible members of society,” attesting to their “suitability to possess a small arm.” (Violation of the 2nd amendment, as well as the preamble to the Bill of Rights.)
These terms would not — unless the treaty was ratified by the Senate — be legal binding. However, the federal government’s commitment to act consistently with all explicit and underlying terms of the treaty would have provided easy opportunity for gun control advocates in any administration to take such steps and justify them by virtue of Kerry’s signature back in 2013.
At least with regard to the Arms Trade Treaty and its sneaky gun control agenda, Americans who understand and support the right to keep and bear arms, can heave a sigh of relief thanks to Trump’s action on April 29.

All it takes is for the US Senate to ratify the UN agreement, and the President to sign it. When that happens, the Bill of Rights become subject to modification by the UN.
Now, once you are disarmed, then comes genocide. It always happens. Always.
Know your history.
Don’t allow it to happen to YOU.
Others have mapped out “signposts” and “markers” along the way in order for people to gauge the relative state of American affairs regarding Marxist takeover. They often have many, many great things to say.
The Western Rifle Shooters blog-spot has a number of excellent writers on this subject. One of whom is “Bracken”. I have provided numerous excerpts from his profound insights. One of which is below. Take note…
The Yellow Line:
The yellow warning line will be crossed with national gun registration laws, including laws forbidding private gun sales without government permission. When that law passes, millions of Americans will feel that they have been pushed directly to the edge of the abyss above the mass graves of history. Defenders of the Second Amendment know what happened in Turkey, the USSR, Germany, China, and other nations that fell under totalitarian rule: in every case a necessary preliminary step on the road to genocide was national gun registration, followed by confiscation. The Jewish survivors of the Nazi Holocaust say, “Never again!” And so do we.
The Red Line:
The red line will be crossed with the passage of laws mandating that currently owned weapons, ammunition magazines, and ammunition quantities above a certain number must be turned in to authorities or destroyed, and thereafter their simple possession will be a felony. At that point, the nation will be on a hair trigger, with a thousand flaring matches nearing a thousand primed cannon fuses aimed directly at the next Fort Sumter.
The Dead Line:
The next line requires a bit of history to explain. In some primitive Civil War POW camps, where lack of funding or logistical constraints did not allow the construction of proper fences, a knee-high continuous railing of wooden slats encircled the prison grounds. Guards with rifles were positioned at the corners and in crude towers. If a prisoner so much as stepped over the narrow plank, he was shot dead without warning, obviating the need for a real fence to contain him. Hence the term “dead line.” Cross the line and people die, right now.
And this is what liberal utopians must understand: after passing the yellow line with national gun registration and transfer requirements, and the red line by making possession of currently legal firearms felonious, the dead line will be breached with the first SWAT raids upon citizens suspected of owning legal firearms made illegal by the new gun control laws. People will die resisting confiscation, in large numbers.
Confiscation crosses the dead line, make no mistake about it.
-Bracken
I am sure that he thinks that we are getting close to “zero hour”. But, maybe we are way past that moment in time. Maybe.
Now, let’s just see where we are, shall we…
Yellow Line
Requiring government permission to exercise the right to own a gun. Sorry. We have been there for almost a century.
This is where guns, ammo, or types of gun components must be turned into the government. We have been there for almost a full decade. Ever since Obama became President.
And, to you tough-talking Neo-Cons with your AR-15 rifles and a few thousand rounds of ammo, here is the reality: they will take your guns, and no, all your Second Amendment bluster aside, you are not going to do anything about it.
You are not going to take on a platoon of Marines with state-of-the-art automatic weapons and the best body armor you cannot buy protected by armed personnel carriers and attack helicopters unless you choose to die that day — for nothing.
You will either be in the country or out, and if you are in, you will stay in and you will comply.
-Daily Reckoning
Those progressive Marxists are pretty emboldened. Taunting us conservatives like that. Maybe they are in their own echo chamber or maybe they know something we don’t.
Maybe they know something…
Dead Line
We are there. People now die when the police come to their houses to collect their guns.
According to police, two officers serving a new Extreme Risk Protective Order (Red Flag Law), a Maryland protective order to remove guns from a household, shot and killed the man listed on that order.
“Under the law, family, police, mental health professionals can all ask for the protective orders to remove weapons,” said Sgt. Jacklyn David, with Anne Arundel County Police.
That man was identified as Gary J. Willis of same address.
Officials said Willis answered the door while holding a handgun.
Willis then placed the gun next to the door.
When officers began to serve him the order, Willis became irate and grabbed his gun.
One of the officers tried to take the gun from Willis, but instead Willis fired the gun.
The second officer fired a gun, striking Willis. He died at the scene.

Convinced yet?
You have a window of opportunity now.
Things are not yet "hot". Do you intend to stay put, and if so do you have a safe hiding place... well constructed, well-hidden, with supplies? Are you armed and able and (most importantly) willing to use the weapons?
Rouse up the rabble through organized rallies and protests
“If someone is so fearful that they are going to start using their weapons to protect their rights, it makes me very nervous that these people have weapons at all.”
-U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman
In order to instigate genocide, there is a formula that must be followed with some due care.
Demonize a class of people.
Promote that demonization into mainstream society.
Normalize it to a point where pure hatred manifests.
Create rallies and protests that will inflame the hatred.
Then disarm the people so hated.
As we see all of the protests and other civil unrest in America, it’s easy to think that it’s a groundswell of outrage. Knowledge takes us beyond that mere information!
Ever since the 2016 election, we’ve seen an increase in violence in America. The media would have you believe that this a country wide, groundswell of discontent. Many good folks are getting scared. Well, the good news is that the bad news is more “fake news”! I’ve been studying the violence and tracking it on a map. The map I’m using is the one that shows which counties Hillary won and which Trump won.
It’s happening in one of the 487 counties that Hillary Clinton won in 2016! The protesters know that they are breaking laws in a community where the local politicians and police are “protestor friendly”.
I wasn’t surprised to see that virtually 100% of these protests and violence was happening in one of the 487 counties that Hillary won! Other than the sheer logistics of being in those counties, I believe that the real reason for their doing these protests in 487 counties is because they own the entire political spectrum in those counties.
They own the government, the police and the sheriff. They know that they can protest with little fear of being punished.
- What the 487 means, and why it’s important
The Causes of Genocide
“[To get a] permit to own a firearm, that person should undergo an exhaustive criminal background check. In addition, an applicant should give up his right to privacy and submit his medical records for review to see if the person has ever had a problem with alcohol, drugs or mental illness . . . The Constitution doesn’t count!”
-John Silber, former chancellor of Boston University and candidate for Governor of Massachusetts. Speech before the Quequechan Club of Fall River, MA. August 16, 1990
Know your history. Read a textbook why don’t ya.
"That law doesn't apply in this case. You can contact an attorney after we take you to the station."
There is substantial, documented evidence that all the hype by the progressive liberal democrats and the mainstream media are are geared up to one singular result; the genocide of traditional conservatives and white males.
That’s right. Know your history.
If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them… ‘Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ’em all in, I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren’t here.”
-U.S. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) CBS-TV’s “60 Minutes,” 2/5/95
Here is a slide from a history class. Apply it to America today, why don’t ya.
After a decade of vicious conflict, the war in Sierra Leone is still shocking in its sheer atrocity: rebel troops of drug-crazed teenagers have hacked the limbs off thousands of civilians, including women and babies. U.N. peacekeeping forces have been powerless to intervene. Cold-blooded calculation fuels the rebels' insanity.
-The Terror of Sierra Leone
Hillary Clinton used it in such a way to recruit others to openly
attack (physically) her conservative opposition. Much in the same way
the the RUF became motivated to attack the long-standing traditional
elements of society in Sierra Leone.
Once in power, the laws will be prejudicial
“I am one who believes that as a first step, the United States should move expeditiously to disarm the civilian population, other than police and security officers, of all handguns, pistols, and revolvers… No one should have the right to anonymous ownership or use of a gun.”
-Professor Dean Morris, Director of Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, stated to the U.S. Congress
As we already see in the United States, there are two sets of laws.
One set are for the progressive democrat Marxists. The other set of laws are for everyone else. While currently, it provides advantage for the progressive socialists, once they obtain power, they will twist the laws to be completely prejudicial to their opposition. Like you.
In the Urban areas, the police will be active in purging conservatives from society.
"You can contact your attorney once you are in the station. For now, turn around and put your hands behind your back. It's for your protection."
Know your history. See how the German Nazi Socialists treated the Jews.
From HERE On July 5, 1941 Korvettenkapitan Brückner, who had taken over for Stein issued a set of anti-Jewish regulations. These were published in a local newspaper, Kurzemes Vārds. Just imagine what it would be like if the terms related to Jews were replaced with their modern American equivalents.
Indeed, one can only imagine what it would be like if the word “Jew” was replaced by the word “conservative”.
All Conservatives must wear a sign on the front and back of their clothing;
Shopping hours for Conservatives are restricted to 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Conservatives are only allowed out of their residences for these hours and from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.;
Conservatives are barred from public events and transportation and are not to walk on the beach;
Conservatives are required to leave the sidewalk if they encounter anyone in uniform;
Conservative shops are required to display the sign “A non-progressive business” in the window;
Conservatives are to surrender all radios, televisions, computers, cell phones, fax machines, and typewriters.
Conservatives are to surrender all uniforms, arms and knives in their possession.
Conservative are to surrender all means of transportation; including cars, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, and boats.
What? You think it can never happen?
“Banning guns is an idea whose time has come.”
-U.S. Senator Joseph Biden, 11/18/93, Associated Press interview
Wake up. It has been going on for the last decade or so…
"You need to undress and place your clothing on the pile to the right. You are being led to showers, and a de-lice station for your own benefit."
Do not expect mercy
I’ll tell you what, do not expect mercy from these people.
"By order of the Governor, all firearms that do not have ownership registration papers, are to be turned in by 6 O'clock Friday. The police will conduct door to door searches for compliance."
Prior to Hitler banning Jews, and carting them off to concentration camps, he demonized them.
In Germany it was “Jewish privilege”.
There was a constant anti-Jew media onslaught on all the media. In addition he created non-Jew stores, gatherings and rallies.
He talked and railed about “Jewish privilege” so much, that it started to be talked about in universities and promoted in stores and restaurants. After a decade of this, the rank and file Germans hated Jews so much that they couldn’t see straight.
The smart Jews fled.
“I don’t care about crime, I just want to get the guns.”
-Senator Howard Metzenbaum, 1994
The rest sat hopefully believing that their representatives in (the German version of) Congress would stop the flow of anti-Jewish sentiment.
They mistakenly believed that all that nonsense about “Jewish privilege” on university campuses would end.
They foolishly believed that it would just dissipate over time, and things would get back to “normal”.
When the time came, the German people vented their anger on the Jews.
"There have been some few incidents, but none were racial or politically motivated, reported the Chief of police."
Mobs of “normal” German boys went on rape crusades. They hunted for Jewish girls to attack and rape. Jewish stores and businesses were vandalized. Jews were ostracized in public, and everything Jewish was shunned.
“We’re here to tell the NRA their nightmare is true…”
-U.S. Representative Charles Schumer, quoted on NBC, 11/30/93
This kind of activity is common. It always happens. Consider Sierra Leone.
Their trademark was amputations, mostly of hands, as a tactic to terrorize the local population. It was one of the only uses of mass amputations in the history of warfare, and it gave the R.U.F.—a small, poorly armed force that had no real backing—a power disproportionate to its size.
Announcing their attacks beforehand to inspire terror, the rebels swept through southern and eastern Sierra Leone in a matter of months. The national army was too small, too disorganized, and too corrupt to offer much resistance. Some of them even joined forces with the rebels to loot.
-The Terror of Sierra Leone
This is a common activity by the progressive left.
They identify a target and then relentlessly attack them. Anger against the target builds up and up, until it is unleashed in a fury of hatred. It happened in Germany, and it happened against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
In Rwanda it was “Tutsi Privilege”.
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest. Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time. So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.
-”Nelson T. Shields of Hangun Control, Inc. as quoted in `New Yorker’ magazine July 26, 1976. Page 53f
The media is complicit in all Genocides.
The media is complicit in all Genocides.
They are used as a tool to generate an irrational hatred towards one
particular class of people. Then, when the hatred reaches a peak or
zeal, they allow it to vent. The result is thousands of deaths, and many
more harmed irreparably.
“There is no reason for anyone in the country, for anyone except a police officer or a military person, to buy, to own, to have, to use, a handgun. The only way to control handgun use in this country is to prohibit the guns. And the only way to do that is to Change the Constitution.” USA Today
– Michael Gartner – Former president of NBC News – “Glut of Guns: What Can We Do About Them?” – January 16, 1992
Make no mistake. The American Civil War 2 will be an ideological genocide. The stage has already been set.
The stage for Genocide is already in place.
All that is needed are just a very few “chess pieces” to move into place. Just a few. Aside from that, everything is ready.
Right now, today in the United States, the complicit American media
is fostering and fomenting this kind of ideological zeal against the
following types of people…
White people (for slavery and “privilege”.)
Straight white males that show alpha-male qualities.
Anyone who lives outside of a major city.
Anyone who holds a conservative point of view.
The internet and media is rife of anti-white sentiment, and people “admitting” to their “privilege”.
If you fit into any of the above characteristics, then I will be the
first to tell you that you will not, and your family will not, be given
ANY mercy. These progressive liberal democrats will come into your house
and kill you without blinking an eyelash.
It’s already happening…
(WASHINGTON, DC) Graphic footage captured on Facebook Live shows a mentally handicapped white man being tortured in Chicago by African-American assailants as they laugh and express their disgust for white people and President-elect Donald Trump.
Chicago police announced on Wednesday evening that they had arrested four people in connection with the crime, according to Fox 32.
The video, taken by a woman identified on Facebook as "Brittany Herring," shows a white man tied up with tape across his mouth. The victim is shown being repeatedly hit, sliced at with a knife, berated and his clothes ripped off.
At one point in the video, the primary assailant shouts at the bound man, **** Donald Trump, *****! **** white people, boy! **** white people, boy! while he kicks him.
At another point in the video, the perpetrators laugh about being reported to the police in response to a Facebook commenter claiming they're going to be arrested. They also mock another commenter who said their torture was not funny by claiming it is funny.
More videos emerged later on Wednesday of the crime. In one, the suspects threaten their victim with a knife and beat him before he was tied up. The victim can be heard screaming and pleaded with his attackers to stop. It ends with one of the attackers saying he's going to shank the white male.
Chicago police said they were considering hate crime charges in the case and called the crime "sickening" in a Wednesday night press conference. They confirmed the victim is mentally handicapped and was released from the hospital after being treated for his injuries.
Police say he has been extremely traumatized by the crime.
However, Chicago Superintendent Eddie Johnson said he doesn't believe the incident was politically motivated.
Ah, yes. The Progressive Liberal Democrat Superintendent Eddie
Johnson said that he doesn’t believe the incident was politically
motivated.
You see, if it is an attack against a “white person”, and they are
repeatedly railing against Donald Trump, it is not racist, nor is it
political. You see there are one set of rules for progressive democrats,
and another set of laws and rules for conservatives.
You have to understand that this is the reality in America today.
It isn’t just one LONE incident either. These kinds of anti-white
aggression are popping up everywhere like a “wack a mole”. And
everywhere where they manifest, the criminals are let off with a slap on
the wrist and the event down-played as insignificant.
Now, none of this should be new to the reader. Most Americans, on both sides, are well aware of this.
“the state of Iowa should take semi-automatic weapons away from Iowans who have legally purchased them prior to any ban that is enacted if they don’t give their weapons up in a buy-back program. Even if you have them, I think we need to start taking them,”
-Iowa state Rep. Dan Muhlbauer (D-Manilla) 2013
What should be new is the…
Things that are likely to happen…
There are many things that can happen when progressive socialists come to power. Especially when the general population is ready and primed for attack by ideologically motivated progressive Marxists.
Study these pictures. They are not photo-shopped.
Remember how Barrack Obama and Bill Clinton was completely shocking everyone with their actions?
Do. You. Remember?
Suddenly we had [1] retroactive tax increases, and [2] forcing Americans to buy things. We had [3] enormous giveaways of billions of dollars with no oversight or permissions, and [4] drone strikes on Americans. They did strange things while in office, that only now can we see the implications of…
…like Bill Clinton stacking the 9th circuit court with
radical socialists. (People on FR watched in horror as this took place.
We watched as closed door sessions were conducted, and “off-site”
meetings were held purposefully omitting conservatives.)
Look at America today. How many decades have we Americans had to deal with this one singular problem?
War does not get worse than January 6, 1999.
Teenage soldiers, out of their minds on drugs, rounded up entire neighborhoods and machine-gunned them or burned them alive in their houses.
They tracked down anyone whom they deemed to be an enemy—journalists, Nigerians, doctors who treated wounded civilians—and tortured and killed them.
They killed people who refused to give them money, or people who didn't give enough money, or people who looked at them wrong.
They raped women and killed nuns and abducted priests and drugged children to turn them into fighters. They favored Tupac T-shirts and fancy haircuts and spoke Krio—the common language of Freetown—to one another because they didn't share a tribal language.
-The Terror of Sierra Leone
In Sierra Leone, it was “Financial Privilege”.
Imagine getting into a time machine and going just a few years in the
future when another Democrat has control of the White House, the
Senate, and Congress. Do you really think that the next presidential
democrat will be like Jimmy Carter, or John Kennedy? Nope. Not by a long
shot.
The next democrat president will be DANGEROUS.
Make no mistake. The democrat party is off the rails and is in dangerous territory. This is nothing to take lightly or trivially. Who would ever think that a failed artist and corporal would take over Germany with the crazy Nazi party? Well, it happened.
What is going to happen in the USA is going to be far worse.
“People who own guns are essentially a sickness in our souls who must be cleansed.”

Chinese Malls
Chinese malls are everywhere, and they tend to be enormous. A mall is generally a sign of a healthy and functioning middle class. Before China kicked out the progressive liberal communists, there just weren’t any malls in China at all. Then, when Mr. Deng started to introduce Reaganomics (though under a Chinese-friendly name), the economy flourished, and malls started to pop up everywhere.
Here’s a typical mall. I think this one is in Hong Kong, if I am not mistaken.
Youngsters performing
I personally love this video. It shows some young drummers performing in front of an audience. It’s pretty cool.
Education for the children
In China, every spare moment that a child has seems to be packed into learning. This can be exhausting, and many children want to play some computer games to escape from “the grind”. You cannot blame them, can you?
Well, a number of Chinese parents figure that if you want to play a computer game, how about one where you can actually learn something. Thus, there is a market for business simulation games. This is a small, but growing niche, where you can become a farmer and eventually become a real estate tycoon. Or maybe try your luck moving a factory making widgets into a global enterprise. These simulations help that.
Here, a young elementary student can relax by running a farm and trying to make a profit…
RV Rental
In China you can buy, or rent recreational vehicles. You can do so just like it is done in the USA. Here’s what it looks like…
Chinese Roads
As I have alluded to previously, the Chinese don’t waste their time going up and down hills. They just build over them, and if there is a mountain in the way, they just plow straight through it. They do not mess around.
China is a nation with an enormous population.
Never forget that, eh? There was a reason why China instituted limits on the number of children that you can have. While they have removed this limitation, many Chinese has opted not to have too many children as they are unwilling to take on the increased tax burden.
And that is it. I hope that you enjoyed this posting of the strange and unusual life of China as compared to America.

Inside a bullet train
Bullet trains are all over China. There is an enormous network of them. They are very comfortable to ride in, and their cost is reasonable.
I looked at various sites on the internet, and it’s a hoot how everyone tries to justify the superiority of Amtrak compared to China’s bullet trains. They imply that China’s bullet trains are nothing to be proud of.
It’s funny, but sad too. You know, the first step in recognizing you have a problem is to face up to it, and announce that you have a problem. (12 step program for those of you who don’t know the reference.)
They do one on one comparisons and come to the conclusion that they are similar. What a laugh. The trains are similar. How can you possibly come to that conclusion?
The one article (linked above) starts off straight forward enough…
But then it starts to show a bunch of photos how they are really just pretty similar, aside from the price, and speed. As if the train stations are identical. (Have you been to an Amtrak train station lately? Talk about a run-down 1960’s era ghetto.)
Really?
Here’s a screen capture from the article listed above.
What’s what the article says. Then, it shows this following picture.
In China, the stewardesses are all female. They are all attractive, and rated in beauty, physical appearance, and weight. They are all under 35 years of age.They are trained to be demure and act very respectfully.
In America on Amtrak, there are no age, appearance, weight or gender requirements. The attendants can be polite or not, fat or not, ugly or not, burly or not. In the progressive reality that is America today that is the reality. But don’t deny what is right in front of your eyes just for the sake of political correctness.
This is what the interior of one looks like…
And here’s the view outside…
Oh, and while I am at it, here is what the over all appearance and image that the Chinese bullet trains have in China and around the world.
In contrast Amtrak is viewed as sluggish, antiquated, and brutish. Check out the video and then go ride on Amtrak to see what I am talking about.
Train Stations
Here’s a quick comparison in train stations.
First, we check out Amtrak’s stations. The photo below is a historical station known as Sandpoint. Now, don’t get the wrong idea.
I do happen to love history and American rail has had so many absolutely awesome train stations. What about the one on Allegheny avenue in Pittsburgh, or the massive complex in Detroit? Ah, but they are all gone now.
All that remains are little quonset hut kind of affairs. You know the kind used to give the impression of progressive advancement by tearing down the old. Sad.
Now, let’s look at the train stations that you would encounter were you to board a train in China. This is from the 3nd tier city Tianjin. It’s third tier, ya all! It’s just a little Po-dunk city.
Ask yourself how, and why can China do this, but much bigger, and better USA cannot? Maybe fighting eight simultaneous wars and spending 65% of welfare benefits on illegal aliens has something to do with it. Eh?
Maybe. But I also like to think that part of it is because China is a meritocracy.
America has so much to be proud of, yet we have let our achievements grow fallow, and our leadership become corrupt. We, our parents, and our grandparents are all responsible for the sad, sad state of affairs in America today.
How bridges are made in China
Once you visit China, you will notice that everything seems to be above the ground. All the highways seem to go over the houses and through the mountains. This differs from the United states, where the roads must curve around and get permissions to build and put roads in. Not so in China.
They just build over everything. It’s sort of like this…
Classes and testing in China
Classes in such a populous nation as China can get to be pretty enormous. The same is true for tests and testing. Here is sort of what it can look like…
Uses for a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle
The Chinese people do tend to be a bit innovative. This is especially true in the rural countryside. Here we see how an old Harley is being utilized on the farm, as it were.
And that is about it for now. Let’s continue with our exploration further, shall we…
OK. At numerous videos for this part, let’s go and move on to the
next post which covers even more strangeness inside of China this month…

Here we continue with our various videos of life in China, and how strange it must appear to a foreigner. Here, we spend a little bit of time chatting about families and relationships.

A Boy’s love for his mother
Here is a cute video of a boy giving his mother a bouquet of flowers. It’s not really crazy, but it is sure enough, so darn cute. I don’t know if people still do this back in the States, you know, with all that political correctness and other related nonsense. A friend told me that he got in “hot water” when he sent some flowers to a girlfriend at work at a different company.
It was deemed “sexist”, and “inflammatory” by the “diversity director” in control of HR there.
Well, I don’t know much about that. What I do know is that flowers and signs of affection are pretty common in the rest of the world. Here is a boy giving his mother some flowers.
Caring for grandparents.
In China, the families stick together. As a traditional nation, they maintain a conservative household, and at that, it tends to be multi-generational. However, there are many times when one sibling will help out another. Here we have a grandchild visiting a grandmother in her house. She is taking care of her.
It’s what conservative families do.
They do not outsource the responsibilities to a retirement home, or chuck them away for the government to deal with. That is the liberal progressive way of doing things.
Celebrating the various festivals
China has many festivals. What people do not know is that they also celebrate other festivals. Heck! Any reason to party and have a great time, I say.
They celebrate Christmas with a passion that is unobtainable in the Untied States today.
They celebrate the Thailand water festival known as Songkran. Here we can see them enjoying it. (Personally, my wife hate’s this festival, and hides inside as everyone is trying to get you wet.)
Non-monetary work bonuses
The Chinese, for the most part, reward their employees by food, drink and cash. The more successful the company, and the harder the effort, the more cash that is bestowed upon the person. Of course there are other ways of rewarding a high performer.
No, I’m not talking about a pen that says “success if a way of life”, or a poster of a cat hanging onto some drapes and the words “hang in there”. I am talking about other rewards. Rewards of significant value.
Mary Kaye, the American cosmetic company, buys pink Cadillacs for their top performers. That is truly laudable. Well, other Chinese companies do the same kind of things.
Here we see gold being given to some high performers in a Chinese female-based company. This is not the “fake” gold that you get in the USA. You know, the “alloy” of gold which is only 0.0005% gold. This stuff is 100% gold. And, no, contrary to the narrative from the big-gold industry in the states, the gold is stable enough not to require an alloy.
You know what?
If Chinese companies can treat their workers with respect, provide them bonuses in cold hard cash, and reward them with solid gold adornments, what’s stopping American companies from doing the same? Could it be greed? Or, maybe they don’t view anyone under their class to be worthy of reward?
Hum?

The cool KTV environment
The KTV is a place to enjoy yourself. There are many different types, from KTV’s for children, to families, to friends, to businessmen. It consists, basically, of a rental room that is decked out for a party.
KTV’s are often quite elaborate, and ornate. With flashy colors and patterns being the norm. Here is one with a LCD flooring that is becoming quite popular all over China.
Robotic Luggage
Yup, it was only a matter of time don’t ya know. You have robotic self-driving cars, and robotic lawnmowers. Why not robotic luggage. Well, you are starting to see this in Chinese Airports. Crazy huh?
Not in the USA, though. I would imagine the Democrats would try to ban them for one reason or the other. Oh, and don’t get on my grill about that fact either. They love to ban things. They are first and foremost busybodies of the highest order. (See link below. It opens up into a separate tab.)
Anyways, check out this robotic luggage that you can see in China…
Night Light Shows
All over China, and most especially in the big cities, structures are made to appeal to the people living there. It’s an initiative from Beijing that mandates that the purpose of government is to provide for the social well being of the people. Thus you have some pretty spectacular light displays at night.
Here’s a bridge. It’s pretty typical.
Here’s some buildings. This is in Shenzhen.
Here is Shenzhen again. Only please kindly take note of that stuff moving about in the sky. The stuff in the sky are drones that fly in formation and are lit up by computerized sequence at specific times.
Statues to the Chinese Past
The Chinese honor their past and erect monuments to keep the memories alive. Those progressive SJW who tried to erase history, tear down the statues, and take over the government have all been arrested and are in reeducation camps to cure their illness.
Here is a particularly magnificent statue. I believe that it is Sun Tzu.
Aside from his legacy as the author of The Art of War, Sun Tzu is revered in Chinese and East Asian culture as a legendary historical and military figure. His birth name was Sun Wu, and he was known outside of his family by his courtesy name Changqing.
This general was pretty awesome. He turned fighting into an art. He expanded what could be considered warfare and considered actual fighting to be evidence of failure.
He wrote, “In war, then, let your great object be victory, not lengthy campaigns. Thus it may be known that the leader of armies is the arbiter of the people’s fate, the man on whom it depends whether the nation shall be in peace or in peril” (2.19-20).
Sun-Tzu had no patience with the protracted games generals seemed to enjoy playing with each other. Once hostilities had erupted, one’s priority was to defeat the enemy, not indulge oneself in chivalry which could only prolong the conflict and cost more lives.
Water Slide
The Chinese have water parks just like we have in the Untied States. Only they tend to design them differently. They like to incorporate natural elements, trees, and flowers to provide a more impressive aesthetic.
Drinking Culture
China is a nation with a strong social structure.
I am constantly reminded of this when an American friend comes to visit me in China, and we sit down for dinner and drinks. An American might have one glass of wine or one bottle of beer. A Chinese person might chug two or three bottles of wine, or five or six cases of beer. The difference between the two cultures are that stark.
And of course, the American won’t smoke, and will actually be a bit startled that I would light up at the dinner table inside a public restaurant. A public restaurant of all places! “Have I no shame?” they wonder. It just blow their minds!
Possessing a lighter that can generate fire!
Smoking the terrible tobacco.
Drinking more than a socially approved quantity of alcohol.
Bringing “outside” alcohol into a restaurant.
Allowing my dog to join us inside the restaurant.
Telling the waiter how to cook our food.
That’s just how conditioned Americans have become to living in a progressive prison camp. The idea of doing anything outside what is “normal and expected” is like a harsh slap in the face to them.
Do you want to see just how conditioned Americans have become?
Go to a Starbucks. Watch what happens when they order a coffee or what ever Starbucks passes for coffee these days. The barista will get a paper cup, write a name on it, and set the order moving forward.
This happens automatically, even when the order is to be inside the coffeehouse.
People, when I order coffee from Starbucks, I want it in a real proper coffee cup with spoon. If I am going to pay that kind of overcharged money for a simple cup of coffee I want it done right and correctly. Do NOT give me a disposable paper cup if I am going to stay, and sit inside.
Would you feed your grandparents on paper plates on Christmas?
The rest of the sheep can eat out of the trough. Let them keep their paper coffee cup. To learn to reclaim our heritage, we need to start demanding our respect back.
Anyways… back to China.
At six videos in this section, I do believe that it is time to move to the next post. Sorry if it took a while to load some of these.

Here we continue with our exploration of China through some curious and amusing videos. By looking at the videos and studying the context revolving around the subject matter, we can obtain a better understanding of China and our place upon this global stage.
Please kindly note that this post has multiple embedded videos. It is important to view them. If they fail to load, all you need to do is to reload your browser.
Bonuses In China
In China, there are always bonuses given to high performers, and during holidays. It is part of the culture. These bonuses are not tied to the government where people have to give from 20% to 50% of it to the tax man, like they do in the Untied States. It is just free extra income for the hard working person.
We can see these bonuses handed out during CNY (Chinese New Year) as well as upon completion of projects or goals. Hey! You didn’t think that Baidu, Huawei, or ShaoMi got to be so enormous by giving their top performers a pen that says “success if a way of life” do you?
I well know that this is how it works in the USA.
After saving millions of dollars of business on developing the E-ETRESS, and all the late nights for free, and loss of my weekends, I got a new pen with these words. "Success is a way of life." Once the project was completed, they let me go. I didn't even get a "heads up".
While the company owners became millionaires, I got a pen. That's America for you!
Anyways, the drinking culture is extremely important in China, and it is tied with success as a businessman. If you want to be a successful businessman in China then be prepared to drink and drink heavily.
Thus, this next micro-video. Here we have a bonus structure based on your ability to drink. It goes from a small sip of wine with some “little” money (for a small meal perhaps) to quaffing two (2x) entire bottles of wine and getting a credit card worth thousands. Hey! This is how it is done in China.
It sure beats being lectured by the resident “Diversity Officer” on your “white privilege”. Eh?
If you want to play with the “big boys” you’d had best be able to “step up to the plate”.
Chinese Michelle Jackson
Here’s a cute little girl singing “Beat It” by Michael Jackson.
Everyone want’s me to sing this stupid song in the KTV, I’ll tell you what. Michael Jackson is very popular in China. I do not know why, but everyone knows him and loves his music.
Look, guys, I like Michael Jackson as much as the rest of you. However, I don’t really like to sing his faster songs. It’s not enjoyable for me. It’s stressful.
This is a little girl.
In China, all students learn English in school. In fact, you cannot enter college or university unless you can pass a speaking and reading / writing exam in English. I checked out that exam. Most Americans would have a difficult time passing it as well.
Can you imagine the howls from the progressive liberal democrats! Imagine if Chinese were mandated to be taught in every school from elementary through high school. Oh the howls they would screech! Now, couple that with Chinese language proficiency was a requirement for access to college? There would be protests on the streets for “cultural appropriation” and “virtue signaling”.
Well, it’s like that.
The thing about Chinese students speaking English is that there are different levels and degrees of proficiency. Some are really good and sound just like an American, while others can hardly manage to say “Good Morning” to you. It’s pretty odd, I’ll tell you what.
Anyways, she does a pretty good job singing, all things considered.
For those of you nay-sayers out there, who think that she is not very good. All I can say is YOU try singing a Chinese song. I would like to hear you belt something out. Eh?
You try singing
Here is a micro-video of the first few bars of one of the top most popular songs in China today. Do you think that you can sing it as well as that little girl sang Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”? Well, then check it out and give it a try…
Chinese Influence in Africa
Unlike America, China has worked on strengthening economic ties with other nations around the world. America would just hand out money (like Obama gave to South Africa, and Palestine), while China instead sets up roads, train and rail lines, and a means for industry to migrate into poverty ridden areas. Not to mention significant funding to ensure that the road and belt initiatives take place properly.
You don’t hear anything about this on American mainstream news. I guess that they are too busy trying to prove that Donald Trump is a Russian spy, but they should report more about what is going on in the rest of the world.
They have really failed in their job of reporting the news.
Anyways, here is a video that is pretty typical of a Chinese company setting up factories and employing people in impoverished areas. I think that it is hilarious.
Ah, you cannot deny that China hasn’t had it’s influence…
Just think of all the good that the $7,000,000,000,000 (of American taxpayer money) that Obama gifted to the oligarchy in South Africa could have done if it was parted out like China does. Not to mention the additional $7,000,000,000,000 given to Kenya.
One single $1 goes a long way to feeding a family of four for a month.
Off to their assignments
Many companies in China have morning “tailgates” and meetings that are a cross between a “status report” and a “pep rally”. In China, the employees have a vital role in the company. It differs from the “lip service” that you would find in the Untied States in many ways, but the most important is a PROPORTIONAL increase in salary of the individual workers as the value of the company increases. Likewise, if the company loses value the employees will also suffer.
In the United States this is quite different. A company can have a period of enormous profitability, but it is very rare for the employee to benefit from it. At best, he has the option to “jump ship” for a more lucrative job opportunity elsewhere (as long as it is not a competitor… that is what a NDA is for).
Here, the workers are leaving their “tail gate” meeting and off to their assignments.
And let’s move on to the next post in this series…
OK. At numerous videos for this part, let’s go and move on to the next past which covers even more strangeness inside of China this month…

Let’s continue with our exploration of unique and odd China. Hey! What do you think about the splash picture? Pretty odd, eh? Yeah, I know.
It’s a green-friendly police armored car. It is a fully electric armored police car for use domestically in China. You can read about it HERE, or HERE.
This is the mad Zijing Qingyuan Armored Spherical Cabin Electric Patrol Vehicle, seen on the Security China exhibition in Beijing last month. The vehicle is developed for anti-riot work by police and paramilitary forces. Its most interesting feature is the spherical cabin, allowing policemen a 360 degree look around.
-Car News China
Please kindly note that this post has multiple embedded videos. It is important to view them. If they fail to load, all you need to do is to reload your browser.
This is pretty cool. This is a self-driving car made in China for the Chinese market. It’s got some pretty unique and amazing features that are decades ahead of most Western automakers. Hey guys! You’d had best fire your “diversity officers” and hire more engineers, don’t you think?
A "diversity officer" is a highly paid employee of a company that makes sure that political correctness, and other progressive issues are implemented in the company where they work. This was an Obama initiative, and most of the fortune 500 companies in the USA today have them. They are nothing less than PC commissars.
To understand what I mean about the dangers of having “Diversity Officers” instead of trying to compete against the very aggressive Chinese industry, you need to read what I have to say about their purpose. Why they are present in the United States. You can read about it at the link below. It will open up in a new tab so you need not worry about losing your place here.
Anyways…
Back to the subject at hand. XPeng Motors has unveiled a self-driving car. It is the EV-GA. It has numerous very unique features that will enable it to operate successfully in hyper crowded China. (You know, where there are cars all over the place, breaking every rule in the book… where little old ladies with walkers stand in front, and donkey carts pull in behind you.)
I argue that these are new innovations.
Not only new, but unique to China and if China continues in this pace of innovation, American industry won’t have a chance in Hell to keep up. Thus, my argument that the $450,000/year salary for a GM “Diversity Officer” would be better served hiring five design engineers instead.
Check out this video. And, unlike other videos that I might have posted in the past. This is not CGI. This is the actual car. It uses all four-wheel electric drives and operates in a a manner similar to the NASA Apollo lunar rover did.
Of course it will only be sold domestically.
This level of technology would take a while to be accepted and approved through the maze of regulations in the United States. I do know what I am talking about. You would not believe the amount of money that changed hands for us to get LED’s used in automobiles in the 1990’s. It was like pulling teeth.
What? You think that they just popped up and simply replaced traditional incandescent automotive lighting without having some bribery take place? You believe that, eh?
It’s a protectionism racket, and the government is not only complicit, but they often initiate all the hurtles you must climb through.
Of course, many people will take offense at this statement. You know, that the United States government has become a terribly corrupt organization. Well, to that, I must remind you about all the publicized corruption at the DOJ and FBI, but you know, that’s not what I am talking about here.
I am talking about using the power of the government to regulate for personal financial gain. Like what happened with PT-141. You can read about this sad state of affairs at the link below. It will open up in a different tab, so you need not worry about losing your place here.
Police Drill
The Chinese practice, and practice and practice. They believe that you must have the fundamentals down so that you can implement them automatically when the time comes to use them.
Here is a video of a police drill of the take down of a car in pursuit. Unlike the USA where you might have jurisdictional issues, in China, the various jurisdictions collaborate together in crime prevention. They have to. China is far too large, with too many people to play around for political posturing.
Snow Bunny
Ah. We have them in the states as well, don’t you know. But here, the snow bunny is actually dressed up to look like one. LOL. I think that it is enormously cute.
Just some Guys Having Fun
Here is a video of just some guys having fun. Seriously, we should be doing this kind of stuff more often than not, I’ll tell you what.
Maybe, by checking out the diversity of the micro-videos and the uniqueness of the subject matter, you (the reader) could better understand that China is an enormous and complex nation. It is growing and it is being managed by people who have got into positions of power through merit. The Western narrative, or as I like to say “cardboard cutout” of what China is, is a dangerous lie.
We have to recognize that China is growing and is not a nation to take trivially.
OK. At numerous videos for this part, let’s go and move on to the next post which covers even more strangeness inside of China this month…

Let’s continue with our exploration of cute and unique China with these following examples…
Many people that I met were curious about China, but their impressions of China would end up with words like ‘communist,’ ‘pollution’ and ‘no Facebook.’ While many facts are true, the contemporary, living and multifaceted Chinese life is rarely heard of.

Disco Swimming Party
The Chinese have a great love for being together and having fun and partying. Often they mix singing, dancing, and (of course) drinking with their other pleasures. As any other normal adult would. Here, we look at a typical swimming pool and their weekend festivities.
And, yes… this is TYPICAL.
I, myself, enjoy swimming. As a boy we would swim in the ocean and in the various pools around the community. This was true whether it was a private club, or at a friends house. I have always associated Summer with pools, and I think that all kids should have the same kind of fond memories attached to swimming and Summer as I have.
After all, who doesn’t want to go have fun?
Back in my middle school days, all of us kids were part of the YMCA after-school swimming program. When ever they had one of these programs, my parents were the first to sign us kids up for the classes. I became quite good at swimming, and that later turned into an asset once I joined the US Navy.
After school, we would hop onto a bus and it would carry us over to a nearby town for our lessons. I seem to recall that the trip would last around a half an hour, and the entire time at the YMCA might have lasted around three hours. I suppose that gave our parents enough time away from us kids for some private time. Heh heh.
The YMCA had an indoor pool, but we would also go use outside pools during the Summer months. I had friends who loved to swim in the rivers and lakes, but they were way too dirty for my personal sensibilities.
Being with friends and noisy kids is part of the swimming experience. And, you know what? I think that it is great. I really do.
There will be plenty of opportunities for other kinds of beach and swimming pool adventures in your future. That’s life. Some will be great. Some will be not so great. Some will have you walking on the beach hand-in-hand with someone you love and care for dearly. Some experiences will involve alcohol. Some experiences will involve a group of close friends, with music, food and other pleasures.
I think that the best thing about life is to enjoy it as it is happening.
What I mean is that time is short and it is fleeting. You need to know that if you are always goal oriented, you will miss out in the opportunities and adventures that lie all around you right now. There is a saying to “take the time to smell the flowers”, and that is very true, but the saying has become trite and over used.
Appreciate you life as it is happening TODAY right now. You might not get another moment exactly like this one in the future.
OK, now going back to China.
Yes there are all kinds of ways that you can have fun at pools and on the beach. Just like in the United States or in an exotic holiday resort. You can go to pools, public water and pool parks, and even have your own pool where you would invite your friends over for some fun and frolic.
Here is a micro-video of a Chinese public pool. There are some things to note.
Unlike the video above, this one isn’t so rambunctious. It is quieter and more peaceful. It is not designed for groups of people to party and have a good time at. It is, instead, designed to relax and have a nice spa-like experience with friends and family. You will also notice that there is a huge canvas awning overhead. This is typical in China and most gals do not want their beautiful white skin to get dark.
You will note that the water is not deep either, and that there is a bench all along the sides of the pool for people to sit up and rest within the water. In this pool it is sort of like a cross between a whirl-pool and a regular pool. It is a place to relax, while the other video was a place to get crazy and have fun in.
Studying with Roommates
Most colleges and schools in China are dorms where there are from four to eight students crammed into one room. It is cozy, and over time, everyone develops a very close bond together. I used to think that this was terrible, but once I started to make Chinese friends, I saw the advantages of this.
You form “tribes” or “families” what are self-supporting.
This is very important when you are away from home for the first time, and need to have friends and associations for support, emotional health and friendship. In China, having friends and family is of extreme importance.
I’ve experienced student dormitories in three countries: In the U.K. I have my own private room with shared public space; In the U.S. I shared my dorm with one roommate; In China, I used to live with 5 girls in the same room.
This lack of privacy must be shocking for some of you, but in a country with 1.3 billion population, space is always a problem.
While there are many inconveniences for not having enough private space, on the bright side, sharing a room with someone also makes you learn quite a deal about communication, responsibilities and tolerance.

Here is a typical dorm room scene.
You will note that the room is rectangular with beds on stilts that lie over the study desks. This is not everywhere, but seems to work well. I have seen other arrangements, of course. You will also note that, like college dorm rooms all over the globe, the students decorate it to their own personal tastes.
I particularly like the swing chair. It’s actually pretty popular in Chinese dorm rooms.
Japanese Invasion
There is a movement toward wearing traditional Chinese clothing all over China. I personally love it, and enjoy watching girls wearing their really cute outfits. Well, girls (all over the world) enjoy dressing up and wearing different outfits. From time to time you will see these girls getting dressed up in period fashion and Japanese fashion. It’s all pretty darn cute.
Here we have some Chinese gals getting involved in some of the Japanese fashions in Shanghai.
Pretty Crazy, huh?
Of course, you do need to put this into perspective. Any “invasion” from Japan is not about displacing traditional Chinese culture. Rather it is about enjoying your own uniqueness within China. You see, in China there is no such thing as “cultural appropriation” that is a bunch of progressive hooey that is all the rage in the United States. In China you can pretty much be who ever you want to, and no fat overweight pink-haired feminist is going to scream in your face about it.
That enables the Chinese to enjoy their history, and their culture without any disdain or apologies.
And they do so. They are very proud of their culture and when given the opportunity, they will happily don traditional clothing and be themselves. Here we have a girl from one of the Southern regions of China. I believe (but am not sure) that her culture is from the Hainan island area. (Incidentally, the women have traditionally covered themselves in tribal tattoos. This is something that is NOT carried over with modern Chinese ladies. They prefer to leave their bodies unadorned.)
You can see the cross-cultural influences from other ethnic regions within China here.
The headdress is borrowed from some central Chinese cultures, and the flower in the hair is from the South Pacific with a relationship influence (flower on the right if married, on the left if single). In the Northern part of China, you will see the ladies wear long dresses with coverings on their arms. In the Southern sections (where it is HOT) you will find them wearing mini-skirts and loose clothing.
OK. At numerous videos for this part, let’s go and move on to the next past which covers even more strangeness inside of China this month…

Trick Glass in Chinese Parks
As I have mentioned previously, many of the parks in China are at the summit of enormous mountains. Well, many of the paths have glass-floored bridges. And, the Chinese, being the jokers that they are, often have little games and tricks that they like to provide people with.
Like, for instance, cracking floor glass…
Protection from Progressive Socialists
The Chinese well know what a fiasco the implementation of communism was under Mr. Mao. They will never forget the roving bands of SJW’s and the 30+ million people who died because of those lunatics. That’s one of the many reasons why they got rid of them back in the 1970’s.
As well as one of the reasons why they today have absolutely zero sympathy for SJW, radical Muslim fanatics, or LGBQ activists. They capture them, subject them to mental evaluation, treat them for mental conditions if appropriate, and then imprison them to keep the rest of society safe from their dangers.
Anyways, the Chinese haven’t forgotten the intensely long period of terror that was the SWJ norm in China. Today, in China, if you have the money, you make little pigeon holes or egress chambers to hide in and to protect your valuables. You can never be too safe.
Some are quite ingenious.
Chinese Automobiles
The Chinese automobile industry is staffed with high-performing engineers, and if there is some technology that another automotive company has, they hire the engineer to work for them at 4x their regular salary. The Chinese do not mess around, and they reward high performers and workers through merit.
You can see this in the latest crop of Chinese products marketed to the local Chinese…
Technology in High-Speed Rail
The Chinese love those enormous LED / LCD screens. You can see them on the sides of buildings everywhere. As well as on the sides of trucks, and in other places. You can have them on the floor so it looks like you are walking on water, or on the ceiling like there is a dragon flying above your head.
Here is one on a high-speed rail (bullet train) in China. It’s pretty common, though for people who have never seen this from outside of China, you would be amazed.
And, here is an application where the floor is touch sensitive LCD screen. It’s a nice effect and becoming quite popular in China.
I have however, no idea if anyone is implementing it in the USA.
Small Town Restaurant Advertisement
Like the USA, there are all kinds of “mom and pop” little “cubby hole” restaurants everywhere. Once they get the money, they try to advertise. You know, to get more business. This is true in China.
Here is a typical mini-commercial for a local family restaurant. It’s called the YuKee Restaurant. (The Yucky restaurant…LOL!)
Flying First Class
In China, like the United States, are different classes of travel on domestic airlines. The three classes are the same. There are coach, business and first class.
For reasons that will take about 35 posts to explain, the Chinese have more disposable income than Americans have. Thus, they can afford things that many Americans cannot.
You can see this manifest in different ways. One of which is in the proportion of class seating on commercial airlines. The societal stratification in the United States is very severe compared to China.
On airlines in America, most rich and wealthy people travel on their own private airlines. Successful people, not owning their own airplanes, would fly first class or business on commercial airlines. Thus, you would have a tiny section in the forward compartment of the airplane devoted to these higher paying customers.
In America, this might be a total of ten to twelve seats.
While in China, it might be a much higher percentage. Maybe the front 30% of the plane as opposed to the front 5% of the plane that you would experience in America. In fact, there are even entire planes where 100% of the customers fly first class or business.
Here is one example…
You will never see this in the Untied States simply because the gulf between the rich and middle class is so outrageously enormous.
That’s about it for this post. Let’s move on to the next group of videos in the next post, shall we…
OK. At numerous videos for this part, let’s go and move on to the

Pets in China
Most Americans think that the Chinese eat pets. This is a falsehood propagated through ignorance and comedy. Yes, there are a few hillbillies who still eat dogs, and fewer still that eat cats. They cluster in the rural sections of the Guangzhou region. They have their own festivals and menus, and I am sure that you can find all sorts of things about this on Google.
You won’t however, find out about the much, much larger dog culture there. Google is just a voice for the oligarchy. They want to keep you ignorant and living in fear.
The reality is actually much more interesting and very, very strange. Many people treat their dogs like family members. They dies their hair, and have them wear clothing and sit at the table and eat with everyone. It’s pretty darn strange.
This video is not an uncommon scene…
Making Noodles
This is the traditional way of making noodles, and yes, you can see this in just about every city in China. It’s common place, though to a Westerner, it will seem strange and exotic.
Crowd Control
Actually you have to hand it to the Chinese. They do know how to handle crowd control.
Rocket launches
China has an active space exploration and utilization program. It operates unfettered by the political winds of the nation, unlike the United States. As such, they have a crewed space station that is occupied by the same number of people as Americans have on the ISS. They are also developing their moon base initiative, and they are proceeding forward with it via joint venture with the Russians.
When ever there is a rocket launch, which is fairly common, people gather from all over to watch the spectacle. It’s pretty impressive.
Duplex community pools
Yes, China has suburbs. There are all sorts of different kinds of housings and housing developments all over China. One of the latest trends is to have duplex complex communities with a shared pool arrangement.
Instead of a back yard behind a duplex or condo, the Chinese prefer to have low maintenance shrubbery and a communal pool. These pools tend to be long, like a waterway. You can enter them from your back door and take a swim any time you want.
As far as I know, this style of building or living arrangement is unique to China.
And here’s a different one. Like I said and alluded to, these are all over China. Most Americans will, unfortunately, never encounter one because they are usually never given the opportunity to visit a home of an Chinese coworker, colleague or businessman.
OK. At numerous videos for this part, let’s go and move on to the next post which covers even more strangeness inside of China this month…

The Baby Trials
When I was a young boy, a number of items were placed in front of me. I was allowed to go for the item that was (supposed) to represent what my interest would be in life. There was a thimble, a dollar bill, some cloth, and a few other things. It was a Polish tradition.
I don’t remember what I went for.
My father didn’t remember either. I am sure that he had entire series of pictures regarding that event. As he was a photo-buff of the extreme kind. Never the less, it probably was something having to do with my hands, like a clothes pin or something similar.
Here we see the Chinese playing the same kind of game with the young boy. I wonder what this Chinese boy will be attracted to…?
Yeah. In case you didn’t get it, he went for the $100 yuan bill. This young buck went for the cash, oh baby!
Dog’s bike riding
In China, of course, there are all sorts of rental bikes everywhere. Many have been discarded last year when they began to compete against the local towns for revenue. Never the less, they are still very popular, and getting one is a very simple task. You just scan in the QR code with your cell phone. Cost is around $0.05 USD for an hour ride. It is automatically debited to your bank account.
Here we have a dog riding in the bike. It’s pretty typical as the dog is wearing clothes, and underwear and socks. Yup, this is China. It’s a place where the children wander all over without pants letting their gunk sway in the wind, and dogs and cats wear three-piece suits. Who’d figure?
China is very dog-friendly
Speaking of pets, China does not have the same kind of prohibitions concerning animals that you would find in the United States or most other Western nations. You can bring your dogs into restaurants and go shopping with them, and no one would bat an eyelash.
We like to think that America is full of pet lovers, as it actually is. But the government is NOT pet-friendly.
The radical progressive liberal busy-bodies have put up all kinds of prohibitions regarding pets in public. This includes everything from leash-laws to businesses being off-limits to pets. All progressive democrats in office tend to treat animals as disposable props. While conservative politicians have a mixed bag of appreciation of our furry friends.
The argument is always for the “public health”. You don’t want to risk the 0.00000001% of the population that would have a violent reaction to pet fur getting harmed. Those progressive liberals are so silly!
The job of the government is NOT to protect everyone, all the time, in every way possible. It is to provide a society where the 80% majority can live in peace without government intervention.
Sort of how China does it.
Anyways, you can bring your dogs and cats, and lamas (if you have one) into any establishment in China without problem. The only ones that would ask you to leave are American or Hong Kong businesses operating inside China. Their corporate structure has incorporated American and Western norms of conducting business.
Ah. The fools!
Anyways, China is sort of like this…
Yes, this is a pretty well trained dog. Most are not so well trained. But this is China, and you will get used to dogs eating at tables in restaurants, and shopping once you live here for a spell. You will. It’s pretty darn commonplace everywhere.
I like it. Part of it is because I am an animal lover. I love both dogs and cats. But, part of it is because I appreciate what freedom is. Bringing your pet with you into a restaurant is a freedom that most Americans cannot enjoy.
The difference between me and the typical American is that I know what freedom is, and what it is not. No matter how many time you try to convince me that seat-belts are important, that large sodas are dangerous, and that fire places are outdated, the laws that prohibit their use is an insult and an encroachment on MY freedom. I do not care if someone else thinks that I drink too much, eat food that is too fattening or too spicy, or care what breed my dog is. It’s none of their fucking business.
Freedom is the liberty to be left alone.
There were many reasons for my decision to leave the USA and move elsewhere. You know, being around fat ugly aggressive women played a role. I mean, any woman that is bigger or heavier than me is a disgrace. You know, having people being promoted over you because they needed gender equality also played a role.
Taxes getting worse… Regulation increasing… News media making fun of me and my values… The constant onslaught of attempts to ban my guns… my alcoholic beverages… my smoking… and regulation on what I can do with my own body played a role.
Though, I guess a real nasty divorce from a closet radical feminist, and an aggressive IRS audit pretty much closed the deal. Trust me, if you have lived through what I endured, you would leave the shore of the USA faster than a hedgehog on fire!
Anyways, back to China and the FREEDOM and LIBERTY to eat with your dog in a public restaurant. Please keep in mind that that not all dogs are so well behaved. Like this one for instance…
Well, moving on to the next post in this series…
OK. At numerous videos for this part, let’s go and move on to the next post which covers even more strangeness inside of China this month…

The Singing Chef
Chinese people love their food, they spend lots of time savoring and enjoying their meals. Food is not just “fuel” for the body, but a pleasure, an art, and a way of socializing. If you want to make friends, go eat. If you want to close a business deal, go eat. If you want to pursue a romantic relationship, go eat. Since ancient times, food has been considered priority in Chinese culture. The government’s goal was to make sure that each person is taken care of and "has enough to eat”. From another angle, it also suggests the realistic character of Chinese: food goes before ideas, and this life is more important than after life.
-Tinyeyescomics
Restaurants are all over the place in China. Just like they are seemingly everywhere in the Untied States. There are all kinds of them as well. They run the gambit from cafeterias, to fast food, to small family affairs, and street vendors. This is certainly a great subject for another series of posts, but here instead, I would like to talk about one aspect of certain Chinese restaurants.
That aspect is the “singing chef”.
In certain restaurants, you can have the chef sing to you, and you can pick up a KTV microphone at your table and sing along. In China, of course, singing and dancing are very popular Chinese pastimes, as they are all over Asia. People just love to sing. Well, what’s better than singing with friends, eating fine delicious food, and drinking wonderful adult beverages? Well, not much.
Here we have the chef singing a duet with a customer…
Of course, to be able to fully appreciate how cool this is, you need to understand that Chinese food is really tasty and there are so many different kinds and types of food available. Most of which are unknown in the West. Yes, I am sorry to say that those corner “Chinese restaurants” that you have in the states only prepare Americanized Chinese “fast food”.
So imagine the joy of playing around, singing, and eating some truly delicious Chinese food…
Of course, not all Chinese food is spicy. Some are, but many are not. China is a land with all sorts of strange and delicious foods. In fact, I have another post just about this very subject. You might want to check it out. (By clicking on the link, the other article will open up in a different tab.)
In any event, eating spicy food is a great excuse to drink some fine frosty beer. China has all sorts of local breweries. You can obtain some very cheap beer in China, and It actually does go well with the Chinese cuisine.
Personally, I like my beer to be super cold. This is to such an extent that I ask for a half a glass of chipped ice that I can pour my beer into. Yes, I know that it’s a tad extreme, but that is just me. Do not knock it until you get to try it yourself. OK?
Oh, and speaking of wonderful and delicious beer. How about this…
Oh, and speaking about beer, let’s talk a little bit about parties and partying in China. After all, how in the world can you possibly experience China without going to a party and getting shit-faced drunk? It just isn’t possible. Drinking is part of the Chinese traditional culture and society.
China’s Party Scene is often Enormous
The Chinese like to party, and when the opportunity comes, they will gather together and have a great time. To us Westerners, this seems odd, but it really shouldn’t. Think of “Spring Break ” on steroids, only with office staff instead of drunk college students.
This is true all over Asia as well. From the Philippines to Vietnam, and Korea. All Asians love to have a great time. And unlike the politically correct United States, it’s just fine to discuss smoking, drinking, singing and dancing in public and at your workplace.
China has an enormous music and television industry with all sorts of stars and favorites. I covered this in another post. You might want to check it out. (The link opens up in another tab.)
However, it should be noted that many singers and musicians from all over the world find that by catering to the Chinese, sales of their music and popularity skyrockets. So you will be surprised to find Polish singers, Brazilian groups, and Country and Western singers from America playing within China.
Of course, if you are going to sing, eat, and drink, you shouldn’t go anywhere near a car. Just pay for someone to take you home, or crash in a nearby hotel. Yet, this option is often beyond the comprehension of the severely inebriated.
Which brings us to this bitter-sweet video…
The Guy that Just Can’t Drive
I don’t know how better to introduce this video to ya all. This guy is obviously having a bad day, and cannot drive worth sh*t.
Poor guy. If he isn’t drinking, then it is obvious that he is having a bad day. It’s times like these that make you just want to throw in the towel and call it a day. It’s time to go off to a small restaurant and order a beer. It’s time to take a long drag off of a cigarette. It’s time to chill out and watch a game on television.
What ever it is, it’s a time NOT to drive.
OK. At four videos for this part, let’s go and move on to the next past which covers even more strangeness inside of China this month…

Here we continue with our video exploration of some of the crazy and odd things (or just unusual things) going on in China this month. As a kind reminder that this is not so much for entertainment value as it is purposed towards looking at how we do things in a new light. And, as the situation is exposed, in a new appreciation.

Regional Festival
I do like and enjoy regional fairs. I always have. It didn’t matter if it was a apple pie baking fair in Milford, Massachusetts, or a apple butter celebration in Clarion county in Pennsylvania. I loved them all.
If you ever get an opportunity to go to a regional fair, I would strongly suggest you do so. They are all fantastic and worth the time and cost to visit. In fact, if I might be so bold, might I suggest some of these ideas for fairs in the United States…
Any pie, ice cream, or bakery fair.
Any type of Amish or Mennonite fair.
Fairs related to antique tractors and farm equipment.
Fairs related to local history.
Fairs related to reenactments.
Fairs related to maple syrup production.
Fairs related to grapes or wine production.
Fairs related to dog, cat, horse or other critters.
Fairs related to renaissance revivals.
Bluegrass festivals.
Any fair sponsored by a historical club, community or organization.
I really do enjoy festivals.
I think that over the years I have forgotten how important it was for me while I was growing up. I started to take them for granted, and forgot the pleasures and excitement that I had, as a young boy, attending them. I remember a historical building walk and festival in Georgia that was awesome. I also remember a festival of the old west when I lived in Ridgecrest, California. (My China Lake days.)
Such history.
Not to mention the various regional foods. Let me tell you, you haven’t lived until you tried some BBQ at a festival in Texas, or a Chili cook off.
Just like in the United States, with seasonal fairs, the Chinese celebrate their own regional holidays and traditions. Here is one such holiday, were the local ladies dress up in traditional attire and have a parade into the community. In China, local traditional fairs can include costumes, regional food and drink, and of course the local traditional activities.
Which in China, can be quite elaborate and noteworthy…
Upon close inspection, you’ll notice that the outfits are not identical. Each one is subtly different. They are not costumes. They are family heirlooms.
The different colors of the dresses all have meaning, as well as the different decorations and caps on their heads. Just like the Irish and Sottish have different patterns for the kilts and weaves, the Chinese do the same for the various traditional attire.
In China, you can tell from the subtle differences in the clothing just which family is represented, where they come from and the family’s ranking in the community. Just like you could tell it in Ireland or Scotland.
There are many, many different ethnic regions in China, and it would take a long series of complex posts to describe even a mere overview of them. Which, of course, really wouldn’t be appropriate here. This post is just an introduction to differences in culture and how, by looking at them, we can obtain a better appreciation of our own culture.
Oh yes. America does have a culture. Numerous ones actually, and they are all totally and completely awesome! Don’t forget that.
Speaking of awesome American culture. How about some awesome and genuine American food? Right? Am I right or am I right? Maybe something along the lines of this…
Here is another view of this particular ethnic subculture. I really love the outfit, and the smiles on all the pretty girls.
The silver adornment all has a reason and purpose, as well as a story. The crown on the head is full of symbology and meaning… especially toward the various individual family histories. The patterns on the dress, as well as the color differentiate the various history and region that the wearer comes from.
I find it all so very fascinating.
There are many, many different sub-cultures within China, and each one maintains their history, their dress, their culture. In fact, the Chinese government promotes this as an important part of China’s heritage.
I don’t know what it is, really, but I love to see beautiful women in regional clothing with history and meaning. It makes them so multi-dimensional and infinitely interesting. It makes me want to meet their families, drink and eat at their tables with their aunties and uncles and try their delicious regional food. Oh, what stories they could tell.
While the gals in the above two micro-videos are from the interior mountainous regions of China, here is a gal from the Northern regions. I think that she is just awesome. Don’t you?
I do believe that I will do a couple posts on this subject in the future, as it is truly very interesting and absolutely ignored by the American mainstream press.
Ah. I just cannot help myself.
Here is yet another different regional ethnic group. Again, I find the colors and the outfits mesmerizing. And look at how happy and proud of their heritage they are. When I go back and visit the USA, I am often afraid of saying anything lest a “white person of privilege” offends someone. Sigh.
All this is pretty cool, but it has some implications that may people miss.
For instance, if you decide to learn some Mandarin before you go to China, thinking that it’s everyone’s mother tongue, you might be in for a surprise. It’s not spoken everywhere.
Although Mandarin became the national language more than 100 years ago, many Chinese people can’t speak it. There are literally hundreds of dialects and languages in China, and Mandarin is just one of them.
Young people will usually speak Mandarin, because it’s taught in school. Just like many of them will be able to communicate in basic English to you. However, if you’re speaking to older people they may only speak their native dialects.
Moving on to a different subject…
Morning Exercises in Elementary School
All public schools in China have morning exercises. They are typically held in the front courtyard of the school and involve jumping jacks and other such “limbering up exercises”. This is the same as what you would expect in certain schools in the USA, like military academies and religious schools. (Not so in American public schools.)
Over the last few years, the Chinese methods of education has been changing and evolving. This includes everything from studying physics to music. Now it also includes sports and exercise, and yes, over the last decade that has begun to change.
Today, many, though not all, utilize dance routines to limber up the children for the day’s study events. They play popular Chinese songs (Pop-40) and the children exercise to the choreographed dance routines associated with the given songs.
Here is a nice video showing that…
This kind of activity begins as early as pre-school, and continues to long after graduation. Many companies have morning exercises and routines to get the crew and staff ready for work.
Here’s another school, doing a different dance routine. Notice how much fun the kids are having. They don’t even notice that they are exercising. Instead, they view it as a fun activity.
When you think about it, it makes total sense.
Children work just like adults do. Only their work is through play. That is how they learn. Girls like to play with dolls so that they can learn to be able to care for the family. Boys like to play with blocks and build things. That is how they learn to make things and then sell them to earn money for their family.
When children are having fun and playing they are learning at top efficiency. When the effort is dull, prolonged and boring, they are not learning. They are memorizing for repetition. The Chinese have a long way to go towards understanding this fully, but they are implementing this technique in many schools.
And, they are doing so quite early.
Here we have pre-schoolers learning how to dance-exercise in the morning.
Adults Exercising in a Gym
Of course, you don’t need to attend elementary school to exercise. You can do so in a gym. The only thing is that the Chinese also like to have this kind of disco / club / DJ / House exercise environment. That’s one of the things that I really like about China. Pushing iron and driving yourself hard to music.
It’s sort of like this…
Pretty crazy, eh?
OK. At eight videos for this part, let’s go and move on to the next past which covers even more strangeness inside of China this month…

Contemporaneous Chinese Music
This is a series of posts that discuss contemporaneous popular music in China. It is a wide ranging and broad spectrum of travel, and at that, all that I am able to provide is the flimsiest of overviews. However, this series of posts should serve as a great starting place for investigation and enjoyment.

China is a big country, with a huge population. At any given minute there are all kinds of things going on, from the curious to the absurd. That’s pretty much what makes travel so enticing. You are exposed to new ideas and new ways of doing things. These new ways might be better or worse. Yet, the fact that they are different adds value to your experience.
If the new experience is better, then you can see where your previous assumptions might be wrong. This is what happens when you move out of your “comfort zone”. You learn that what you are accustomed to might be wrong or problematic. A good example of this is paying for drugs overseas. Drugs are cheap just about everywhere outside of the USA.
If the new experience is worse, then you have a better appreciation of what you have come to accept and live with. A good example is going to the public toilet in rural China. You really start to appreciate Western-style public restrooms.
I created this post to illustrate that there are many ways to do things, and often these other ways might appear odd, strange or simply curious to someone who is not used to them.
You know, when I first visited China, (back around 1993 or so) many of my (new) Chinese friends thought that a “hamburger” was exactly what McDonald’s made. They had no idea what American food was, and their only exposure to it was McDonald’s or KFC.
They were surprised when I explained to them that hamburgers are something totally different from what you would find in most (not all) American “fast food” restaurants. They didn’t believe me, and had a very difficult time visualizing it. So, what I had to do, was make up some home-made hamburgers on real rolls, with fresh fixings to show them.
Well, China is like that. They often do things different from we are used to seeing. And because of that, that kind of exposure, let’s us view things that we have taken for granted over years and years of exposure.
Maybe we need to take a look at why we do certain things in certain ways. As such, we can start to question if the things that we are accustomed to, are really the best way to do them.

Monkey Style
I was raised watching David Carradine in the television show Kung Fu. I, like many of my generation became entranced by his Shoulin kung fu style. I, as well as most Americans, at that time, only knew of two ways of battling bad guys. (Aside from shooting them, and boxing them.) That was by using Karate, or Kung Fu.
After a few decades of this, we became exposed to martial arts through watching Bruce Lee, and other notable martial arts actors on television. It seemed like all of the best martial arts originated out of China, and more specifically, out of Hong Kong.
With this being our only “education” into the world of martial arts, it is no surprise that we Americans have come to assume that this is the best and (perhaps) the most effective style to fight in martial arts. It is our lack of exposure to other styles that gives us a false understanding of what is available to us personally.
Perhaps we should be exposed to other techniques and methods. Even if they appear odd or strange to us. They exist, because they when performed with mastery, are superior fighting forms.
Other styles of Chinese martial arts include, but are most certainly not limited to:
Wushu: Known more in the contemporary world as not really a style, but more as a sport or a showmanship of forms.
Tai Chi: A very popular internal martial arts style that is characterized by its breathing techniques. Millions of people practice this martial art for relief of stress, meditation purposes, and health and balance in their stress-filled lives.
Kung Fu: King Fu is used in the contemporary world to describe the many styles of martial arts in China. There were additionally various sub styles of Kung Fu from both Northern and Southern China. Whereas the Northern region boasted Shaolin, Eagle Claw, Long Fist and Monkey Style and the Southern region laid claim to Wing Chun, Hung Gar, and Choy Li Fut.
Shuai Jiao: Shuai Jiao was one of the first martial arts in China. Shuai Jiao was taught to the troops by means of utilizing the horns on their helmets and throwing as well as ground fighting was the main focus of this martial art.
Here is a micro-video of a monk performing “Monkey Style” Kung Fu. What do you think? Do you think that it would stun the attacker, or have him roll on the ground laughing?
You see, or maybe not, the point here.
This style is both humorous and unexpected. It’s difficult to fight someone who cannot be predicted. And the humor is disarming. This technique is not for everyone, but it has advantage, and in life… that’s what we need. A little bit of advantage.
Here’s another video depicting scenes of a Chinese movie character that utilizes such actions to disarm his opponents, and obtain advantage in situations. It’s sort of like the book & movie “The Scarlet Pimpernel”.
Moving on to a totally different subject, but still a little odd and crazy is what happens when you drink too much.
A Little Too Much To Drink
Now this is China, don’t you know. Everyone drinks alcohol as it is part of the culture.
In America we would go home to sleep things off, or maybe crash on some stranger’s porch or in our car (Heaven forbid we drive home). Rarely do we try to walk home. Though, I have seen people riding a bike home after closing time at the bar. (You know, that almost all bars in the USA have Cinderella hours. That’s right, they are not open all night. Yeah, crazy, huh?)
It’s 5:08 AM. She obviously left the club, bar or KTV, and is having a bit of trouble getting oriented. Lordy, you would think one of her friends would help get her home to bed.
This poor chick had a little bit too much to drink. I think. Either that, or her world is just spinning around and around.
Training a K9 Police Dog to perform CPR
I’ve seen people train police dogs. There are all kinds of movies and shows depicting this. I have seen them take down a “bad guy” wearing a padded suit. I have seen them run though obstacle courses. I have watched them sniff for drugs, and locate bombs.
But, I have never seen them be trained to give CPR.
Well, this is China, and they are not afraid to try new things and push things to the limits. This is a cute and interesting video of a young police K9 puppy being trained to perform CPR on a downed police officer.
Three videos are enough for one post. The band width would never permit you to load too many more. So please kindly go to the next section to check out some more crazy Chinese videos.

Here we continue with our various videos of life in China, and how strange it must appear to a foreigner.

People Helping Others
You would NEVER see any of this in the Western press, but the Chinese tend to be very helpful and socially consciousness. If you know any Chinese personally, whether it is at your church, or in your school, you can attest that they work hard, study hard and tend to be great friends.
Well, they also will come to your rescue when necessary.
Here’s some videos that illustrate this fact.
This one is a truck driver that lends a hand when an ambulance was involved in a car accident…
Here is a compilation of other instances of people helping others or saving their lives.
The Underground World
China has become a nation of underground tunneling critters. They have built hundreds of these huge tunneling machines and use them to construct subways and passages from one building to another.
As any visitor to Hong Kong can affirm, each subway station in Hong Kong is a huge mall, and from that, branching outwards are all sorts of underground passages connecting one underground complex to another.
Here is one such underground passage. I believe that this one is in Shenzhen…
Ethnic Minorities
China is a land that is comprised of many, many Chinese minorities. Each one has their very own language, traditions and culture. The Chinese government sees the value in allowing these regions to maintain their history, and so they do.
Today you can see various ethnic groups posting themselves in traditional attire and singing contemporaneous (but regional) pop songs. I think that it is outstanding. Check it out…
Here’s another from a different region.
And of course, the Han Chinese…
OK. At these micro-videos, let’s move to the next part of this multi-part post…
