(Well, there I was) an F/A-18E Super Hornet vs. two Iranian Su-25 Frogfoots.

Well, once a Naval Aviator, always a Naval Aviator. I might have given up my wings for MAJestic, but I sure as fuck didn’t give up my passion. Here is a story, it’s first-person, don’t you know, of an encounter by a F/A-18E Super Hornet with two Su-25 Frogfoots flown by the Iranian Air Force. It’s a great read, and all credit to the authors.

Enjoy.

I’ve been hearing and telling “There I was…” stories for my entire adult life. It started for me in flight school, listening to a grizzled old sim instructor tell me about the day he got a MiG kill without taking a shot.

A Vietnamese MiG-21.

A Vietnamese MiG-21 had been vectored at him thinking his F-8 was actually an A-7. As the story goes, after the pass, instead of tangling with the jet known as “The MiG Master,” the Fishbed pilot established 2-circle flow and wisely ejected.

Kill’s a kill.

I’ve got a few of my own, but they’re mostly comical or nearly tragic. But I love hearing them. Last week I heard a great one:

The McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet is a twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather, carrier -capable, multirole combat jet, designed as both a fighter and attack aircraft (hence the F/A designation).

A couple years ago the Iranians issued a declaration stating that they would sink the next U.S. warship to enter the Persian Gulf. Further EU and U.S. sanctions against Iran related to their persistent nuclear program had begun to adversely affect the Iranian economy. The value of the Rial had fallen 40% in just a few months.

Iranian naval exercises coincided with a rare gap in carrier presence in the Persian Gulf and the Iranian Army Chief stated that if a carrier returned to the gulf, Iran would in no uncertain terms “take action.”

Suddenly, after a couple decades of carriers and destroyers splashing around in their bathtub, the Iranians had decided the time was right to claim the Gulf as their own.

Well the Persian Gulf is on the regular beat for U.S. carriers for the foreseeable future, despite the brief lapse at that time.

The USS Boat was to be the first to pop through the Strait of Hormuz since the edict and the ship was on a relatively high alert status crossing through the narrows.

Everybody knew about the Silkworm missiles lining the Iranian coast just a couple miles away as the Boat cruised through the 20-mile wide strait.

They all knew about the possibility of F-4s at Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, and the world’s last flying F-14A Tomcats based in Shiraz.

A few uneventful hours after the passage, Wingnut had made his way to the flight deck to man the Alert on Cat 3.

By this time, the ship was already 100 miles into the Gulf with not even a dust storm kicked up from the Iranian side. The tension level was easing slightly. As the feet of the pilot being relieved hit the deck, he told Wingnut, “Buddy, if you launch I will kick your ass.”

Wingnut climbed up the ladder to the Rhino cockpit and snapped in his lap belts, leaving the shoulders off to provide a little freedom to move during the four-hour sit.

He checked the systems and the alignment to make sure he was squared away and then, settling down for the long alert, slapped a desert camo hat on his head to provide the only shade from the harsh sun. Earbuds and tunes in place, he pulled out a book and tried to pretend that he was somewhere else.

He’d gotten himself as settled and comfortable as he was going to be when the call came out over the flight deck 5MC: “Launch alert A, AAW package, side 207, initial vector 240, contact Strike on button 3!”

The bored knots of sailors on the flight deck exploded into action and Wingnut scrambled to get his shit together while the Yellow Shirts, Ordies (Red Shirts) and Green Shirts sprinted in his direction. He started both engines while lowering the canopy and slapping his helmet on.

A minute later he was taxing the last couple inches to drive the launch bar into the shuttle. Before he had a chance to catch a breath he was shot off, slapping the gear handle up and was desperately trying to snap in the ejection seat shoulder restraints he had forgotten during the mad scramble on the flight deck.

At only five hundred feet and accelerating, the Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet in full blower on a southwesterly heading, Wingnut checked in with Strike on button 3.

“Hot vector, on your nose. Fifteen miles, low. Flight of two out of Abu Musa.”

That wasn’t the Iranian mainland at all.

Abu Musa is a tiny mote of an island equidistant from Iran and UAE as the mouth of the Gulf begins to widen. There had never previously been a sense of a threat from there, despite the fact that U.S. warships routinely cruised between that island and the mainland conducting flight ops. But it did have a small airport.

The United Arab Emirates has consistently and forcefully protested Iran’s illegal occupation of Abu Musa and the Greater and Lesser Tunbs from the moment Iranian military forces occupied the three islands on 30 November 1971, just two days before the establishment of the UAE and throughout the following decades.

Wingnut pointed his plane and radar in that direction and immediately got a lock. Instantly his system began flashing a symbol he hadn’t seen since the simulators in training: HOSTILE.

He was barely off the boat and 5 miles on his nose was a flight of two Su-25 Frogfoots in combat spread hot on the carrier just a couple hundred feet off the water.

Coming in low, and hot, armed with anti-ship missiles and flying just above the tops of the waves.

Wingnut reported the contact and a voice he recognized immediately as CAG commanded him to VID and check the wings for ordnance.

Roger that.

CAG came back with further instruction; if anything comes off those Frogfoots, splash ’em. He took the nearest Su-25 close aboard and sure enough he could make out, clear as day, Archers and two massive anti-ship missiles.

From the flight deck, the personnel that had just launched Wingnut gathered at the edge of the flight deck watching the action like it was an air show.

It was close enough to the Boat that they could see the merge and everything that came after. They saw him max perform the jet in the vertical and come back around in trail, chasing the Su-25s from about a half mile astern.

Fighting the  sense of surreal in the cockpit, Wingnut first locked the AIM-9  seekerhead on the right hand Frogfoot. Once he got a tone lock he  switched to AMRAAM  and locked the left hand bandit with the radar.

All this with the ship rapidly filling his windscreen. Master arm was up and his finger was poised on the trigger. Given the slightest provocation it would be as simple as squeeze, select FOX-2, squeeze.

As he reported to CAG that he was in a position to splash two, the SPO-15 in the left Frogfoot must have been screaming at high warble.

That plane broke left directly over the carrier salvoing out streams of flares. His wingman was right behind and as Wingnut converged he thought for a moment how sweet and awesome it would be to switch to guns and hose a Frogfoot down at 500′ just off the stern of the ship.

Designed by McDonnell Douglas and Northrop, the F/A-18 was derived from the latter's YF-17 in the 1970s for use by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The Hornet is also used by the air forces of several other nations, and since 1986, by the U.S. Navy's Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels.

The Frogfoots aborted and disappeared into Iran.

When Wingnut trapped and shut down he said he felt like he was in a bad reenactment of the final scene in Topgun.

The flight deck personnel had witnessed the entire evolution, and as his engines spooled down they crowded about him, slapping him on the back and asked him absurd questions like, “Sir, did you have ‘radar lock’?”

The F/A-18E single-seat and F/A-18F tandem-seat variants are larger and more advanced derivatives of the F/A-18C and D Hornet. The Super Hornet has an internal 20 mm M61 rotary cannon and can carry air-to-air missiles and air-to-surface weapons.

It’s a great story and true.

There is video. It’s also a little sobering to consider the implications had those SU-25 pilots been ordered to martyr themselves.

In all likelihood, the Boat would have sustained some hits and good men and women would have died.

It’s a tight CV Op Area in the gulf. We do our damnedest to avoid irritating the Iranians, but if they ever feel like taking a pot shot, the first one might do some damage.

Conclusion

It’s a great little story and worthy of a posting.

America has no rule of law. It’s time to admit it. The tree of liberty and freedom has died a long time ago.

This post describes contemporaneous American events in the light of the loss of liberty and freedom. 

Most certainly, that once you have a two-tiered justice system, you actually have no rule of law. And without a Rule of Law, you cannot have either freedom or liberty.

Today, America does not have Rule by Law. It has Rule by selectively applied Brute Force.

There is no rule of law in the United States. And there hasn’t been one for some time. When you have a two tiered justice system, then you have no justice when the country is founded on “equality”.

Introduction

America was founded on the premise of liberty and freedom. We have all heard this, well most of us, anyways. (Who knows what they are teaching in schools these days.) This article makes the simple statement; freedom and liberty REQUIRES a robust rule of law applied evenly throughout the nation.

If you do not have a robust Rule of Law, evenly applied. You will not have either freedom or liberty.

America is toast.
America is toast.

Freedom and liberty REQUIRES a robust rule of law applied evenly throughout the nation.

When rules are bent in favor of one person over another, justice fails. Without justice, the nation fails. It might be a slow slide into the abyss, but fail it will.

In the beginning…

When In The Course of Human Events……

The Founders of this nation put forward a very basic premise:

"...to  assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to  which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them..."

That no government, no person whether royalty or not, King, Queen or Pawn, can take from one to give to another, to make one lesser than another, to being removed from one of the basics of humanity…

…all for the privilege of another.

This is America today. Where and what freedoms remain?
This is America today. Where and what freedoms remain?
"We hold these truths to be self-evident,  that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator  with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and  the pursuit of Happiness..."

That the very premise of humanity is that one has a right to live, to be left alone to do as one pleases, and to pursue — but not be guaranteed — happiness.  The only lawful and proper constraints arise when your exercise of same prevents someone else from having that same peaceful enjoyment.

America was founded as a place where people could aspire to follow there dreams unencumbered by government interference. Sadly this is no longer the case, as the movie "Tucker - A man and his dream", so clearly illustrates.

One cannot have a right to life if one cannot defend it using tools at least as powerful as those who would take it from you. You cannot have that right to life, that right of freedom and that right of liberty, if the rules of law are not evenly applied to everyone.

There is no freedom when the government can stop your pursuit of happiness.

Based on a true story. Shortly after World War II, Preston Tucker is a grandiose schemer with a new dream, to produce the best cars ever made. With the assistance of Abe Karatz and some impressive salesmanship on his own part, he obtains funding and begins to build his factory. The whole movie also has many parallels with director Coppola's own efforts to build a new movie studio of his own.

There is no freedom when the government can stop your pursuit of happiness.

This is the story of entrepreneur Preston Tucker and the innovative car  he designed in the late 1940s. 

The car was attractive, economical, and  safe, and had many features not found on the cars of that time -- an  air-cooled rear engine, disk brakes, independent 4-wheel suspension, an  additional center headlight that pivoted left and right for better  vision when turning, a padded dash, seatbelts, and a popout safety  windshield. 

Tucker's promotional activities generated widespread public  excitement and interest in the car, but the powerful auto industry  blocked its production. 

Only 50 cars were ever made. 

The plan was to  produce the car in the former Dodge B-29 engine plant on the far  southwest side of Chicago. Many Chicagoans invested in the Tucker Motor  Corporation, and some bought dealerships. 

Even today, many people  believe that then-Senator Homer Ferguson (R-Michigan) is the person most  responsible for the loss of their investment in the revolutionary  ahead-of-its-time "Tucker Torpedo".

There is no freedom when the government can stop your pursuit of happiness.

This is a basic premise. It is a fundamental requirement for a nation to be one where people can live within an environment of freedom and liberty.

There is no freedom when the government can stop your pursuit of happiness.

The Constitution

The Founders put together a document called The Constitution. It established the Rule of Law that the nation would exist under. 

The debate over it, and what needed to be added to it, is found in The Federalist and The Anti-Federalist; two books that are the chronology of the running debate of the time. 

Anyone who claims to have an opinion on the foundations of our nation and why the Constitution is important ought to have read both, as should anyone who claims a right to run for elective office at any level — state, local or federal.

Duh! All elected officials NEED to be well-versed in both documents. The vast majority today are not. 

Chief among the foundation of this nation is The Rule of Law and that it apply equally to everyone, all the time. It must be applied in each case evenly without exception. 

Over time.

By various people, all for various reasons…

Laws grew, became confused, morphed into one thing or another, and their application distorted.

Today, functionally, the Rule of Law does not exist in America.

The Anti-Federalist Papers is the collective name given to works written by the Founding Fathers who were opposed to or concerned with the merits of the United States Constitution of 1787. Starting on 25 September 1787 and running through the early 1790s, these anti-Federalists published a series of essays arguing against a stronger and more energetic union as embodied in the new Constitution. Although less influential than their counterparts, The Federalist Papers, these works nonetheless played an important role in shaping the early American political landscape and in the passage of the US Bill of Rights.

The Rule of Law.

I can point this out, over and over, and over. And so I will, using examples that we read about every single day.

The law clearly states…

Not one illegal immigrant has a right to live and work, and have children in America. This is true under any circumstance; The Rule of Law says so. 

It does not matter whether they personally intended to break said law; that merely encompasses whether they bear criminal culpability for the offense.  It does not matter what you call them either. You can call them “dreamers”, “hopefuls”, “migrants”, “refugees” and “travelers”.

If they do not follow the law, they must be imprisoned, and then expelled.

Migrants ride on top of a northern bound train toward the U.S.-Mexico border in Oaxaca, southern Mexico, in March. Migrants crossing Mexico to get to the U.S. have increasingly become targets of criminal gangs who kidnap them to obtain ransom money.

Laws follow Due Process and are implemented, policed and structured fairly. Otherwise, they do not follow the Rule of Law. All laws must follow the Rule of Law, and that means that they are derived from the Bill of Rights.

Red Flag Laws

‘Red flag’ gun confiscation laws violate every principle of liberty  upon which our country was founded. There is no due process associated  with “red flag” laws. A judge’s order to seize the firearms from an  American citizen who has not been accused of a crime, charged with a  crime, convicted of a crime—or who never even threatened to commit a  crime—based on the accusation of a single individual is anything but due  process.
           
Our accuser could be a disgruntled employee, a bitter  ex-spouse or relative, a vengeful neighbor, an anti-gun liberal or even  an anti-gun policeman. By definition, “red flag” laws use mere suspicion  of what one “might” do as justification to seize a person’s firearms.  Tactics such as these have been used in virtually every despotic regime  of history. 

- Pastor Chuck Baldwin, quoted at Survival Blog 

The key to having a Constitution, and a Bill of Rights… a strong organized structure from whence all other laws are derived, is that it becomes clear whether a law is constitutional or not.

Not all laws are constitutional.

Since the Rule of Law is derived from the Bill of Rights, any law that violates it is invalid.

  • How can you have an ATF who’s entire reason for existence is to infringe on the second amendment?
  • How can the IRS exist when it, by it’s own fundamental nature, violates the fourth amendment?
  • How can the FDA ban or arrest someone for using drugs when it violates the ninth amendment?

Now, the latest, in a long string of unconstiutional laws, the “red flag” law completely throws the “due process” scheme out the window. Where, an elected judge will make a determination of whether or not someone is guilty and action by the government needs to take place.

Once you remove judges from the equation…

You have no Rule of Law.

And…

And…

And it’s a big deal.

It’s a really, really, big deal.

If you do not enforce the Rule of Law, you do not have a nation.

Senators Richard Blumenthal and Mark Warner, both Democrats, have threatened legislation that is a rank violation of the First Amendment. They do so using the excuse of being necessary in response to the Christchurch live-stream.

So…

Now we have 90% of the counties in Virginia turning into sanctuary enclaves that protects the Bill of Rights for the citizens of those counties. The Democrat reaction? Call in the military and increase funding to incarcerate everyone opposing them.

The Bill of Rights is not up for debate.

This arrogance is what the founders of the nation fought against.

And it’s going to be fought again.

Americans fought the arrogant British government. They did not like being treated as a "cash cow" while the ruling class spent the money on frivolities.

Political correctness is communist  propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the  conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade  or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less  it corresponded to reality the better. 
   
When people are forced to remain  silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse  when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and  for all their sense of probity. 
   
To assent to obvious lies is to  co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself.  One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A  society of emasculated liars is easy to control. 
   
I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to. 
       
-Theodore Dalrymple 

It is not possible to understand evil.

In contrast, the “American” empire acts like  Genghis Khan on steroids without his military genius: 

it appears to me  Washington is intent on the wholesale obliteration of countries, their  infrastructure, murdering the civilian populations by the millions, and  so on. 

Moreover, perhaps in the most memorable quote of Hillary Clinton  in calling some Americans “deplorables,” it seems the entire class of  rulers of America views its citizens as dispensable commodities and ill  disguised contempt.  

You cannot stop evil if you refuse to recognize it exists. You cannot accept that evil exists in this world if you close your eyes to it. You cannot see the evil.  You cannot see the dangers if you fail to watch the errors others made that led them to their demise.

Yet, these two elected Democrat officials want to violate a core tenet of law. Why?

Why?

The Democrats believe that they have achieved a strong degree of control over Americans and the only thing remaining to do is to disarm them. They are following a time-line and time-table laid out years ago, and if it seems like they over-played their hand it is because they did NOT expect a Donald Trump in the office of the President. They expected a Hillary Clinton.

Why the Democrats want to suppress freedom.

Governments are banning and attempting to ban guns and opinions related to keeping guns, not because they fear copycats: 

They are banning that speech and literally burning books because faced with the gore, the nastiness and inhumanity of these acts the people may conclude that it was the government itself that sowed the seeds of these acts.

And that the government conspired with gave comfort to said people and groups…

all the while rendering individual people powerless to stop it by infringing on The Right to Keep and Bear Arms

…and did all of the above intentionally.

Were the people to reach that conclusion they’d be correct and in response they might revoke their consent to said government entirely and demand it depart.

When the citizens reach the conclusion that the government is corrupted and needs to be reformed, the second amendment is designed to facilitate that change.

America is resembling a slave camp.

A slave is not allowed weapons because he might use them to become free.

If, before undertaking some action, you must obtain the permission of  society—you are not free, whether such permission is granted to you or  not. 

Only a slave acts on permission. A permission is not a right.

A collapse of cultures…

Cultures collapse when there is no cohesion remaining.

Cultures collapse when the primary means to get ahead is to stomp on someone else’s head instead of innovating.

Cultures collapse when cheating is no longer punished and is celebrated instead.  

Cultures collapse when cheating is no longer punished and is celebrated instead.

If that is not curtailed then collapse is inevitable — it is simply a matter of time.

Europeans dubbed it the Great War. Americans today remember it as World  War One, and recall it as little more than a precursor of an even more  violent Second World War. In reality, Democrat Woodrow Wilson’s justification  for entering the war as a freedom crusade, as a “war to end all wars,”  was, ultimately, little more than rhetorical cover for what amounted to a  war in support of one group of empires, the British and French, against  another, German and Austrian.
 
Indeed,  in a certain sense, it was a bankers’ war. While the ostensibly  “neutral” United States acceded to the British Navy’s starvation  blockade of Germany, Washington simultaneously traded war materials with  its Anglo brothers and floated London vital loans numbering in the  billions of dollars. Clearly, by 1917, after three years of macabre  massacre, Washington had a pecuniary interest in British victory.
 
That  may not be the version of First World War history that most Americans  learned in elementary or high school. Even less well known is the  cynicism and civil liberties suppression of the “Progressive”-in-chief,  President Wilson. 

His strongman tactics:  imprisonment of peaceful antiwar activists under the Sedition Act,  detainment of pacifists in prison camps, and prosecution of critical  journalists under the (still statute law) Espionage Act, are abhorrent  enough. Worse still, however, was the reflexive manner in which the  progressive “left” quickly fell in line with their president. 

The left  eats its own; maybe it always has. Immense majorities of “progressive  s,”just like their socialist brethren in Europe, supported Wilson and  the war in spite of past records of more dovish positions. 

They then  proceeded to attack, suppress, and often professionally ruin, or  imprison, their former compatriots —relabeled as “radicals”—such as Randolph Bourne and Eugene Debs.
 
Nonetheless,  for all of World War I’s horror, futility, absurdity even, the veterans  of the war collectively emerged from the sodden trenches imbued with a  vocal philosophy of never again. Indeed, they celebrated the moment the  guns finally fell silent, the 11th minute, or the 11th hour, of the 11th  day, of the 11th month, 1918, as Armistice Day. 

It was, romantic as it  now seems, widely believed that theirs would be the last war. In fact,  millions of lucky survivors left the war deeply dedicated to ensuring  that be the case. Much of the finest Western literature of the 20th  century, unsurprisingly, generated from the pens of disgruntled, damaged  veterans—Hemingway, Graves, Fitzgerald, Sassoon, and many more—forever  changed by the experience of needless war.

Because even the most-vile expression of dislike is one’s right to hold and have.  To state otherwise is to state a right to control another person’s mind and thoughts — to not only enslave as to labor but to thought itself.

That is profoundly evil. 

The facts are (and do facts matter in America any longer?) that on July 27th, 2014, when the East of Ukraine was already at war, a young woman and her little daughter—Kristina and Kira—were murdered from the shelling of Ukrainian forces. The mother then was named the “Gorlovka Madonna.”

What is evil?

Manipulation by others for personal gain? Why are the Democrats so focused on the Ukraine? Why do they want to start World War III with Russia?

America tomorrow.
America tomorrow.

Why is our government fighting eight simultaneous wars in far off lands? Lands like Yemen? Lands like Syria? Lands like Afghanistan? Lands like Libya?

  • Why does it want a pick a fight with Russia over the Ukraine?
  • Why does it want to pick a fight with China over Taiwan?

What the heck is the matter with these people?

Why is the American leadership so focused on fighting wars, and why do they want to challenge major nuclear armed nations? Can they not see the consequences?

Evil has occupied all American institutions for some time now.

All, not most, American institutions are not corrupted.

They are all beyond redemption. It need to be completely overhauled and that might mean burning them all down and building up out from the ashes remaining.

 In contrast, the “American” empire acts like  Genghis Khan on steroids without his military genius: 

it appears to me  Washington is intent on the wholesale obliteration of countries, their  infrastructure, murdering the civilian populations by the millions, and  so on. 

Moreover, perhaps in the most memorable quote of Hillary Clinton  in calling some Americans “deplorables,” it seems the entire class of  rulers of America views its citizens as dispensable commodities and ill  disguised contempt.  

You cannot stop evil if you refuse to recognize it exists. You cannot accept that evil exists in this world if you close your eyes to it. You cannot see the evil.  You cannot see the dangers if you fail to watch the errors others made that led them to their demise.

This very same act is what our government is now calling on “big companies” to do, it is what the left has repeatedly done to anyone who dares speak against their policies and desires.

This is true whether on college campuses, in corporate America or in the public square.

If this story was a movie plot,…the audience would walk out and want their money back. Way too unbelievable! hat’s right,  – College Bribe Mommy has a JD from Harvard,  Daddy has a JD from USC and was a prosecuting attorney for both Los Angeles and San Diego,  – before going into high tech and becoming CEO of Wireless Telematics.

Celebrities with dim-witted children got them into colleges by paying bribes and cheating. 

The claim that said students were “blameless” if their test scores were faked or they faked a “disability” to extend time and thus be able to cheat is a lie. 

Another view...
Another view…

Said “students” are fully culpable yet none of them have been charged; 

  • Not only did every one of them know they didn’t compete on the rowing team (for example)…
  • Any of them who got an extra hour or two to take the SAT or ACT knew damn well they were cheating, whether they knew their answers were being modified or not.

Why did this happen and why aren’t the kids in the dock too?

Sad will be the day...

Universities do not obey the law.

We have no rules of law.

Colleges claim they need “diversity.” 

That’s nonsense; in a meritocracy the best rise irrespective of skin color, race or religion.  

The fact is that this “diversity need” is met by lowering standards and allowing unqualified people who cannot do the work into the school. 

When you no longer follow the conventions established by merit, you end up diluting the value of your institution. Eventually, the lowest common denominator becomes the norm.

This was going on in the 1990s and it has only gotten worse — much worse — since. 

There is, of course, no value in that to a person “selected” via “diversity” if they have to pay full price and will inevitably fail to be able to do the work.  

America today.
America today.

This in turn means someone else gets screwed so they don’t have to pay full price and they also don’t have to do the work they are incapable of.  

The alleged “degree” conferred by said school is thus rendered meaningless; it no longer denotes competence and to prevent that from being recognized and their “brand” destroyed said colleges conspire with employers and governments, both outwardly and not to “require” said “credentials” for an ever-expanding list of “professions.”

In short college is no longer about education.

Instead, it is about grift, fraud, bribery and slavery.  It’s a racketeering enterprise writ large and ought to be prosecuted as a felony, starting with the “most-elite” schools.  

Devolution of cultures.

Is it any surprise that a tiny bit of the bribery began six months earlier with so-called “standardized” testing that really isn’t and claims of being on a soccer team that were false?

Federal agencies do not follow the law.

We have no rule of law.

The Fed is prohibited from buying anything other than government backed securities. 

Fannie and Freddie paper have on their face the statement that they have no such backing; go online and view any of their prospectuses.  

That the government bailed them out does not matter. 

Mount corruptmore.

The Fed’s transacting in same and their continued ownership is illegal. 

Rather than change the law (which might provoke a debate over exactly what The Fed “prints”) they simply ignore the law and you let them.

You let them.

The Fed's legal mandate under the law is for stable prices.  

The Fed’s chair and other governors make dozens of speeches a year and testify under oath before Congress to their intent to violate the law with their “2% inflation target.” 

Inflation, is by definition, not stability.

Congress could change that law but doing so might provoke a debate over exactly what The Fed “prints” and so instead both Congress and The Fed ignore the law and you let them.

You let them.

The truth is that Money is a medium of exchange which you acquire by producing something of value to someone else.  It facilitates trade because it is fungible — that is, you don’t need to transact in oranges, chickens or hours of programming a computer; all three can be reduced to money.

You cannot print money because it is impossible to materialize a television, a car, a piece of computer software, gasoline or electrical power out of thin air.

You can print credit, which spends like money. 

But if you emit credit then what you are claiming is that someone in the future will produce a thing to legitimate what you did.  If the people refuse what’s left?  

Force — slavery in point of fact.

What is probably going to need to happen.

Government employees do not obey the rule of law.

We have no rule of law.

A Pakastani American named Imran Awan worked for Democrats in Congress from 2004 – 2017.  While doing so it is rather apparent he ran a spy ring inside Congress and stole Congressional computer equipment, much of it with the knowledge of Congressional Democrats. 

Prosecuting him would have inevitably drawn those Democrats into what could have easily wound up being criminal culpability including spying for foreign nations.  Which is treason.

So they let him go.

They let him go despite proof that he wired more than $280,000 to Pakistan — funds that very well might have been used to facilitate terrorism!

 Neoliberal Economics Destroyed the Economy and the Middle Class ...  credit-driven debt grows faster than the income that services it, and  this impoverishes the 90% 

- Paul Craig Roberts  

Why not when the example set is that if you’re rich or powerful (and they are both) you could even spy for a foreign nation and get away with it. 

We could literally dispose of the entire federal budget deficit, all of the Federal debt, all of the state and local pension problems and cut property taxes in half or more if we put a stop to this crap. 

They do it because despite the law they have no fear of prosecution.  

Why should they?

We certainly are living in dangerous times; I  suspect it’s even dangerous to me to discuss the writings on his blog  and his two recent books with Andrei Martyanov in an environment of  omnipresent electronic monitoring and profiling of every individual  American citizen, especially those who question the warfare state and  challenge its goals, if only out of sense of morality and a  perception—at least on my part—that the policies pursued will be  destructive to America, which unfortunately seems hellbent on a path of  no return.

Big guys eat up the small guys. Laws are ignored.

It’s a scene right out of the movie “Tucker – A man and his dream“. We have no rule of law.

You can, through hard work, earn a mid-six-figure income and have multiple business ideas that you can develop.

But given the above examples, along with the myriad things I’ve watched big business do in the last 20 years and get away with all of them — acts that were I to do myself I would be prosecuted criminally and go to prison…

So why would I?

If I was to undertake any of those risky ventures and put my capital and intellectual effort at risk any of those people could illegally undermine my product or service, putting me out of business or simply steal it. 

Now we know how and why Google and Amazon and Facebook got so big, so  fast. They were the corporate arm of the surveillance state. 

- From Vox Day at Vox Popoli 

Unless I was willing to personally kill the persons responsible there is nothing I could do about it and I’d go broke.  

I will not undertake such a venture for as long as all of this crap exists, and that’s why. 

I instead choose to hike, ski, run, drink beer and enjoy a much lower stress lifestyle. 

There are those of us who choose to live a more relaxed and simpler life. One without stress and fighting to be the "top dog" in the barnyard.

Intelligent people decide to “tune out” and not fight the system.

The Christchurch shooter, obviously nuts, wrote a “manifesto” which governments are actively trying to suppress your ability to read. 

In it he pointed out an inconvenient truth — that there is no nation with a material white population percentage in which white women are reproducing at a replacement or better rate.  

That is, unless this changes white people will eventually go extinct.

Know your history. Read up on it.
Know your history. Read up on it.

We bemoan a little fish, frog or bird disappearing but there is literally not one word in the media about this. The most-productive and innovative differentiated group of human beings ever to walk the planet is heading directly for extinction by their own voluntary decision.  

We haven't just defiled paradise; we've turned it into a Taco Bell restroom.

Why are white women choosing not to bear children? 

Maybe it’s because a goodly number of them have come to the same conclusion I have.

That there is no rule of law.

Thus unless they’re so rich they can cheat (like those who did so to get their kids into college) their offspring have no chance of success on a merit basis.

And they thus make the entirely reasonable decision not to create children at all

After all why would you willingly and intentionally bring a child into this world if you believe they are going to be enslaved and mercilessly robbed for their entire lives?

Rather than correct that problem governments instead are importing people who have not yet made that determination.

And…

And thus those people make the entirely reasonable decision to breed like rabbits!

We have in fact become so depraved that our own government is giving cats diseases on purpose. The excuse is to study them, and even though those diseases are easily curable and the animals could then be adopted out that takes a bit of effort and more than a a nickel in cost so they kill them instead. 

That would be bad enough but our government is also importing cats and dogs from nations around the world for the purpose of meat to feed said study subjects, practicing animal cannibalism.  

We can’t be bothered to use byproducts of human food production; you see, that might cost a bit more money.

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.

I’m not the only one who recognizes this; here’s another article pointing out many of the same things.

America is extended, riddled with debt and too reliant on ever more debt, past its growth peak, incapable and unwilling to address structural issues.

Both political parties have given up on dealing with debt, illusory monetary policies such as MMT are invented to render structural issues as irrelevant.

Meanwhile wealth inequality keeps expanding from administration to administration no matter who is in charge with voters distracted by the ideological divisions of the day, not trusting their leaders or each other.

And all this with 3.8% unemployment. What will this all look like during the next downturn?

Nobody knows. Rome showed us to not take civilization for granted. It also showed us to not ignore structural problems before they become too large to tackle.

Sven may be hopeful but I am not.

I’m not alone either.  Charles Hugh Smith has written a number of columns on this same point, including just recently.

Netflix, as just one example, effectively stole their entire distribution infrastructure, which is very expensive, through various forms of browbeating and when that was threatened they got the government to mandate their ability to force non-customers to pay for what they wanted during the Obama Administration.  

Then, when Obama left, both he and his wife got a multi-million dollar contract from the company.

Martyanov blogs about the political class, including Donald Trump, on his blog Reminiscence of the Future…. But I gave him, if you pardon the expression, a homework assignment, a recent piece by Whitney Webb describing the powers  behind Washington’s politicians, be they “Democrats” or “Republicans.”  

It’s hard to determine where the real power in Washington and the City  of London lies, that is to say who the actual rulers are, but the  greater power is evidently held by the central bankers and billionaires,  operating in a mob like fashion as Ms. Webb described, in fact actually  working with mobsters.

None of them would exist were there an even-handed enforcement of the law for the simple reason that all of them violate the basic law of business balance: 

The more people who touch a transaction the more it costs -- always. 

The reason for that is simple: Nobody works for free.

If you think you’ve found someone who is someone else is stealing from them because no rational person will perform work that benefits only someone else.

No reason to change. The justice system is beyond repair.

We have no rule of law.

This can’t — and won’t — change without Americans rising up by the millions and demanding that it stop and be willing to enforce that demand by whatever means are necessary. 

Coming soon to a State near you.
Soldiers and armed civilians occupy the office of ousted Romanian leader Nicolae Ceausescu in the capital Bucharest on Dec. 26, 1989, the day after he was executed.

This does not mean violence is required.

However, until and unless, those who claim to be “our leaders” believe that any such demand has the force of the people behind it (and will be enforced)…

… should they stick up their middle finger toward common people (once again) as they have done for the last 30+ years…

… they have no reason to stop stealing…

…no reason to stop rigging the system…

…and no reason to stop screwing everyone else.

There’s no reason for me to be hopeful.

This is what I would look like if I was a cat.
This is what I would look like if I was a cat.

This is because there is no reason to believe that Americans, say much less the people in any of the other developed, Western nations will in fact demand this crap stop. 

In fact there is every reason to simply sit back and enjoy what little time is left, given that within the next six years tipping points will be reached in the US on a budget and monetary basis that will destroy the illusion of “growth and prosperity” and from which there is little or no chance of recovery.

America today.
America today.

Democracy is toast.

While we have been indoctrinated to believe that “democracy” is the favored and best way to govern nations, the spectacular failure of what America has become is obvious to the world to see. America, that great, and grand experiment is a complete and total failure.

Coming soon to a State near you.

You, and I, and our families will now need to ride out the collapse to it’s conclusion.

Yvonne, I don’t think many in Russia view the United States as a  “fascist” power per se—it is indeed difficult to do so for a country so  ethnically and culturally diverse as the United States. 

This diversity  precludes the United States to define itself completely as a nation in  an ethno-cultural sense, nor does the political system of the United  States allow for the emergence of a dictator, a key element of the  fascist state. 

For all his bluster today and accusations in being a sort  of a dictator, President Trump is an extremely weak president, as is  generally the office of POTUS. 

The United States is a classic oligarchy  wrapped in a vast state bureaucracy a/k/a the Deep State which is  increasingly dysfunctional. 

If it is a fascist state in any sense, it is  a very sad in a comical sort of way fascist state, as the three-years  long Russia and Ukrainegate “investigations” demonstrated. Russians,  however do use widely the term of “liberal fascism” to underscore the  totalitarian nature of the so called “liberal” ideology of which the  United States, together with subservient Europe, are the main drivers.
 
As I  repeat ad nauseam for years now, the Western in general and American in  particular so-called elites are incompetent. I observed a precipitous  decline in the professional, the intellectual and the ethical levels of  these elites for over twenty years. 

Now it has reached truly grotesque  forms from pedophilia inside the ruling class, to the media being  utterly corrupt and incompetent. 

I can only repeat my point about the US  having no mechanisms anymore for producing real statesmen. 

Russians  know this, they observe this everyday and in my fifty-seven years of  life on many continents I cannot recall a time period when Russians had  such contempt for and rejection of the so called “democratic values.”  

This is simply unprecedented in Russian history.

Conclusion

There is no rule of law in the United States. A two tiered justice system is NOT rule by law. It is rule by power. As such, the nation will soon collapse. As the Rule of Law is a fundamental aspect of a thriving and successful nation.

There is no rule of law in the United States. And there hasn’t been one for some time. When you have a two tiered justice system, then you have no justice when the country is founded on “equality”.

A Rule of Law is important to suppress evil, and to keep the government under control and the nation stable.

I pretty much covered this subject here, in numerous posts.

America is no longer a nation. When you cannot enforce a border, enforce laws, and prosecute criminals, you no longer have a nation. America is no longer a nation. It might still be the remains of a once great empire, sort of like Rome was after the Vandals sacked it, but as a functioning nation, it is no longer. When you cannot enforce a border, enforce laws, and prosecute criminals, you no longer have a nation. I argue that the United States is no longer a nation. Forget about being a nation that follows the Constitution. Rather, I argue that it is not longer a nation in the crudest, simplest, and most primitive terms. What it is is up for debate. But, a nation... no it is not.
Lawless Nation.

When there isn’t any rule of law, the people in power start to act tyrannical and dictatorial. Fundamental to this behavior is the disarming of the population. As that is the last remaining resistance to them.

Failure to obey the Constitution is treasonous.
Failure to obey the Constitution is treasonous.

You can expect to see an acceleration of disarmament efforts all over the Western sphere of influence. With major efforts in the United States taking place irregardless of the consequences. The progressive Marxists do not believe that people will rise up and fight back.

They DO NOT believe that it will happen, or if it does, that they can effectively suppress the actions and spin the events in their favor.


You all can decide on how to handle the elements that are certain to transpire. Just be quick about it, why don’t you.

Neocon Sociopaths on the Left and Right Work to Destroy any US-China Alliance at the risk of Nuclear Conflict.

This article discusses neocons and their manipulation of American politics for Geo-political advantage.

The problem with this is that the stakes are dangerously high. We are not talking about a small country with a few cities. We are talking about technologically advanced first-world nations with state of the art weapons and nuclear, biological, and germ warfare technology.

Further, most Americans are so dumbed down that they have no idea just how advanced China and Russia are. That robots, facial recognition, 5 and 6G systems, and high speed trains are the norm. And have been so for half a decade. America has fallen terribly behind, and our military as well trained and experienced as it is, is not a match for the kinds of swarm drone germ warfare that China and Russia possess.

It'll be very difficult to shoot your rifle while your eyes are foaming with blood and puss.

This article is derived from an earlier article from Strategic Culture. All credit to the author Matthew Ehret.

I did take the liberty to make editing changes. I edited the run-on sentences to make it easier to read. I also added images, and commentary in dialog boxes, and provided supporting links. The conclusions, photo narratives, and associated editing are my own.

Donald Trump is in a painful bind.

The China-bashing traitors within his own party trying to pass themselves off as American patriots have done everything imaginable to destroy the one chance the President has to save America from the policies of economic and social decay which have mis-shaped the past 50 years of world history.

Before breaking under the pressure to pass the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act on November 27, Trump attempted desperately to push against the hard liners stating a day earlier:

“I stand with Hong Kong, but I also stand with  President Xi. He’s a friend of mine, he’s an incredible guy. We have to  stand, but I’d like to see them work it out, OK? We have to see them  work it out. I stand for Hong Kong, I stand for freedom, I stand for all  those things we want to do. But we are also in the process of making  the largest trade deal in history.”

Of course, Trump’s desire to use protective tariffs, rebuild decayed infrastructure and industries while reversing the regime change wars abroad are good things.

They are very good things.

Risk of confrontation is high.

However, the ugly fact is that the Trans-Atlantic financial system is also set to crash, and a serious military confrontation between the US military and the Russia-China alliance is both very real and very dangerous.

This is also why the passage of the anti-Beijing Bill on November 27 is so tragic, since the desperately needed economic alliance which Trump has desired may have suffered a wound from which it cannot recover.

A serious  military confrontation between the US military and the Russia-China  alliance is both very real and very dangerous. It will NOT be America plinking away at a third world "shit hole". It will instead, be nuclear, bio-weapons, germ weapons, and using the most modern technologies available to man ON AMERICAN soil.

Not only this, but those anti-China hawks pervasive across Washington are now emboldened to go even further starting with Sen. Ted Cruz’s new bill.

The use of pests and biological warfare is almost a given if World War 3  is to take place. With the advancement made by biotechnology in the 21st  century, strains of viruses capable of eliminating the entire  population of the rival country are a reality.

America to interfere with Taiwan.

For it is a bill to recognize Taiwan’s sovereignty, thus undoing the 1972 ‘One China’ agreement which established Beijing as the capital of China, and OPENLY threatening to drag mainland China into a nuclear confrontation.

I’ll say it again.

China has repeatedly stated that if you mess with Taiwan, you mess with China. It is one and the same.

If you mess with Texas, you mess with the USA. It's one and the same.

So any war, or provocation involving Taiwan, will involve China.

So, any war involving Texas, will involve the United States.

But this war or conflict or skirmish…

…will NOT be limited to China. But, will instead, include the American cities of Los Angles, Chicago, New York and many other enormous civilian population centers.

The basis of nuclear warfare in future was established when America  dropped the two bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the end of 2nd World War. The rush to develop nuclear weapons by France, USA, Soviet Union and China following the 2nd  World War resulted in the extremely tension ridden period known as Cold  War. 

It is theorized that a nuclear war will cause ten times more  casualties than a military war. Some analysts suggest that the nuclear  fog after a war will result in the entire humanity starving to death.  

The political standoff between USA and China over Taiwan is thought to be a situation that could easily spin out of control if these two nuclear super powers do not behave rationally.  

 -Listsurge  

Here’s Chicago…

Neocons believe, incorrectly, that nuclear warfare will never occur on American soil. That any war that they promote will be limited to the geographical areas that they define. They are wrong. Any war with either China or Russia will result in nuclear destruction of most of urban America.

Any large scale conflict today (or in the near future) will seriously affect America’s status as a global superpower. Whether America “wins” or “loses”, it will change, and the likelihood is that it will not change for the good.

The rise of USA as a superpower during the end of the Second World War  and the disintegration of Soviet Union after the Cold War is proof of  the rearrangement of powers at the end of major wars. It can be  theorized that the Third World War will see the emergence of a new super  power. Many think that China can be the superpower which changes the  dynamics of the next war to come.

Dancing with danger…

Cruz’s Taiwan Symbols of Sovereignty Act aims in Cruz’s words to “peel back some of the extreme insults of the Taiwanese that are inflicted by the One-China policy protocol” including the banning of Taiwan officials from visiting US government agencies, and Taiwan students studying at West Point military academy from wearing the Taiwan flag.

Hum. Are "extreme insults" reason enough for your entire family to be bleeding out of their anus, and your home a smoking black radioactive waste?

Already, the US-military have vastly amplified their presence on China’s border ever since Obama’s “Pivot-to-Asia” and “Air-Sea Battle” were put into practice in 2011-2012. This presence heavily relies on a militarized anti-China force in Taiwan ready to do the US’s bidding.

Any one who is delusional to think that American soil will not be affected by these decisions should have their head examined.

This is not 1913. Wars can get radioactive "hot" within seconds.

Here’s San Francisco…

Neocons think nothing of getting involved int he affairs of other nations. Today, America is fighting eight simultaneous wars. They argue that a ninth war would be easy. That China for all it's technology, is no match for the Untied States military and is willing to bet YOUR life and YOUR family's lives on that belief.

Everyone seems to want a fight…

Many leading figures in Taiwan are stuck in a Cold War traumatized mindset established 60 years earlier, and still see their life’s mission and Taiwan’s destiny through the outdated lens of their Kuomintang forebears- as the only rightful leaders of China, destined to reconquer the mainland lost to the Communist Party in 1949.

The G series of nerve gases is so named due to their origin, with all of them originally discovered in Germany in the 1930s and 40s. Their discovery was actually a complete accident; Gebhardt Schraeder, a German researcher, was investigating the potential use of organophosphates as pesticides in 1936 when he synthesised the first of the G series nerve gases, tabun. He also played a part in the discovery of sarin in 1938. The other member of the G series, soman and cyclosarin, were discovered during the course of research funded by the German army into the pharmacological action of tabun and sarin.

These groups would do anything to fulfill that quasi-religious sense of purpose. Thus making them the perfect puppets for the Deep State.

Of course, the Deep State would be more than happy to undermine both China and America as viable sovereign nation states. In the process undoing the common cause for which both Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Sun Yatsen dedicated their lives.

What the heck is America doing? Why is it so involved in far away places, blowing the shit out of buildings and leveling cities flat? Doesn’t anyone realize that sooner or later America will pick on the wrong nation.

Here’s Houston, Texas…

Nuclear weapons launched by Russia or China will be SLBM's with MIRV multiple warheads many, many times larger than what was used in Japan during World War II. These SLBM MIRV's are all hype-velocity weapons and the city would be obliterated within five minutes of launch. The doctrine calls for multiple warheads for city, thus guaranteeing complete and absolute devastation.

These SLBM MIRV’s are all hype-velocity weapons and the city would be obliterated within five minutes of launch. The doctrine calls for multiple warheads for city, thus guaranteeing complete and absolute devastation.

An ugly and overlooked example of this operation includes the renewed effort by China-basher Steve Bannon who Trump rightly booted from his team in August 2017.

Bannon has been a dangerous character attempting to coral Trump supporters in America and the European right into a new anti-Chinese united front. He is doing this while reviving the neo-con “clash of civilizations” doctrine with a vengeance.

Steve Bannon.
Steve Bannon.

One of the main conduits Bannon chose to unleash this assault was the Committee on Present Danger-China. This is an organization which he founded alongside a group of raging neocons in March 2019.

Labeling China’s Belt and Road as a new empire threatening to undo America and enslave the world, Bannon’s think tank stated:

“As with the Soviet Union in the past, communist China represents an  existential and ideological threat to the United States and to the idea  of freedom – one that requires a new American consensus regarding the  policies and priorities required to defeat this threat.”

He just doesn’t get it.

This could be Thanksgiving day, two years after the United States is struck with a nuclear salvo of AI robotic nuclear swarm missiles in hyper-velocity glide platforms.
This could be Thanksgiving day, two years after the United States is struck with a nuclear salvo of AI robotic nuclear swarm missiles in hyper-velocity glide platforms.

China doesn’t give a rat’s ass about America. Anyone who attacks it will be glowing nuclear rainbows for the next two hundred years.

Here’s Boston…

The neocons, such as Bannon, do not believe that the nuclear on/off switch will ever be depressed. They believe that a conflict with China will be a conventional affair. With American Naval forces firing curse missiles at leisure, and launching drones at will to an unarmed, and America-leaning China.

With American Naval forces firing curse missiles at leisure, and launching drones at will to an unarmed, and America-leaning China.

Bannon has also found himself working ever more tightly with the anti-Beijing CIA-funded cult Falun Gong. This radical group has been banned from China since 1999. It is readily and consistently used by the CIA as a propaganda weapon against China.

In these propaganda attacks they routinely claim anecdotal evidence of Beijing-sponsored organ harvesting and killing of religious minorities. Though pushing itself as a meditation group, its leader Li Hongzhi is based in the USA. He promotes the idea that he has magical powers that keep the forces of evil from destroying the world.

Bannon most recently produced the Falun Gong-funded film “Claws of the Red Dragon”. This kind of action put him into the same boat as his left-handed mirror image George Soros who also supports the Falun Gong. He does so through Open Society Foundation’s Freedom House.

Of course, Soros wants World War III on American soil. He said so many, many times in public.

Here’s New York City…

The rest of the world "does not play". Expect any toying around with the internal affairs of a major superpower will result in nuclear detonations up and down the American coastline.

The contradiction arising from this alliance of pro-Trump sociopaths working with anti-Trump sociopaths only makes sense when you look at the anti-human game from the top down rather than the bottom up.

It is here, that we start getting a fuller picture of the nature of the false ‘left vs right’ game being played. We look at a City of London-based think tank which Bannon leads. It is called the Dignitas Humanitae Institute. And it operates alongside 5 other highly connected figures which were recently exposed in a powerful expose . This expose by journalist Stan Ezrol described Bannon’s four other co-patrons of this Catholic group as…

“Archduke  Otto Von Habsburg, successor to the throne of the Holy Roman Emperor  when it was dissolved; His Royal Highness Charles of Bourbon Two  Sicilies and Duke of Castro, a leading figure in the anti-Renaissance  wing of European nobility; Field Marshal the Lord Guthrie GCB (Knight of  the Grand Cross), LVO (Lieutenant of the Victorian Order), OBE (Order  of the British Empire); and Father Matthew Festing.”

The forces managing this international battle are desperately afraid of the fact that western and eastern renaissance traditions may be awakened in the face of the existential crisis facing the human species today.

These groups are very much aware that the essential character of any society fit to survive is rooted on certain moral principles that are found in both Christian and Confucian cultures alike, making the USA and China potentially very strong and organic allies.

When one reads the writings of such founding fathers of either great nation as Dr. Benjamin Franklin or Dr. Sun Yatsen, the common moral worldview and sense of human nature as a species made in the image of the creator endowed with inalienable rights is electric.

Both Dr. Benjamin Franklin (USA) and Dr. Sun Yatsen (China) believed that governments are made by man to serve under Rights given by the divine creator.

It is thus no coincidence that Dr. Franklin saw in Confucius the key for the foundation of America. And Sun Yatsen saw in America’s Constitution the key for China’s future.

This is a concept which Hong Kong rioters, Taiwan militarists, Open Society ideologues and right wing Bannonites know nothing about.

George Soros, through his Open Society network, is actively pushing for the United States to be involved in wars domestically and globally. He intends to destroy America completely and that is why he is funding and supporting Neocon efforts to entangle the United States into global warfare with nuclear armed nations.

Today, Xi Jinping and President Putin exemplify this common outlook wonderfully. As their alliance has transformed the international rules of the game on every level. If Trump wasn’t constrained by such bigoted agents as Cruz, Bannon or the rabid hive of leftist hacks frothing at the mouth for impeachment, then the USA would make an organic ally in this new multi-polar alliance.

If not, it will be China and Russia that will align, and the USA will be on it’s own.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is issuing a warning, one Americans  need to pay attention to before US politicians take us past the point of  no return, if they haven't done so already.

While the media in  Russia is "state-run," meaning that one never knows how much is true or  how much is propaganda, the flip side of that particular coin is that  nothing goes out over it without the express permission, or instigation  of Russian leadership, so it is clear that when their articles are  written or news spoken, it is exactly what Putin wants the world to  know.

With that said, the very first paragraph of Russia Today's editorial  titled "America tuned out as Congress bangs war drum against Russia,"  which states that US House resolution 758 has "brought the nation one  step closer to all-out-war with Russia," is a dire warning directly from  Russia to the populace of the United States.

Future  historians - that is, assuming there are humans still around to  contemplate history - may one day point to House Resolution 758 as the  single piece of legislation that sparked a global conflagration between two leading nuclear powers.

The  article also goes on to take a look at House resolution 758, breaking  it down, giving a birds-eye view of how Russian leadership views these  actions on the part of the US Congress and it appears that things are  about to get much uglier.

Read the whole article over at RT. 

We need to take a fucking serious look at who we are picking fights with. Not everyone will stand by, bend over, and allow them to get fucked over.

Here’s Washington, D.C…

Nothing can quite ruin your day like global thermonuclear war can.
Nothing can quite ruin your day like global thermonuclear war can.

Conclusion

Both sides of the political spectrum (in the United States) are pushing President Trump towards war. It feeds the neocon agenda. It provides a great distraction of the public from domestic malfeasance, and allows the wealthy oligarchy to loot and profit from “American nation rebuilding efforts”.

Only this time, the stakes are higher and the nations selected will fight back.

They will fight back on American soil.

You know, it might be all Gung-Ho to say “Bring it on!”, the fact is no one wants to see America turned into a radioactive wasteland. But, that is exactly what will happen unless these neocons are corralled up and subdued.

I’m just a lone voice in the wilderness. But please listen to what I have to say. I am begging. I am pleading with you all.

400 kilometers northeast of Bombay  there is a circular 2,154-metre-diameter crater, the Lonar crater. It  has been dated at less than 50,000 years old, and could conceivably be  related to a nuclear attack or mishap of antiquity. 

No  traces of any expected meteoric material  has ever been found in the  vicinity, and this is the world's only known "impact" crater in solid  basalt. Indications of a tremendous shock exceeding 600,000 atmospheres  combined with intense, sudden heat has been determined.

In  Rajasthan, India ten miles west of Jodhpur -there is a heavy layer of  radioactive ash ,it covers about three-square miles. Scientists  investigated the site. It has been noted that has always been a very high rate of birth defects and cancer in the area. The levels of  radiation there registered so high on investigators' gauges that the  Indian government cordoned off the region.  

- Nuclear Warfare in Ancient India 

Nuclear war would send America back to the stone age. It might never recover.

Be the Rufus; more examples of personal heroism in China. Part 19. After Christmas Edition.

More examples of personal heroism in China. This is part nineteen. THis is a collection compiled the day after Christmas in 2019. We’ve got some nice micro-videos to start the new year off with.

Here are some more videos of personal heroism. These videos all take place in China, and show examples of how average, normal, everyday people (or dogs and cats) can make a difference. When the calling strikes and an emergency occurs, will you be the one who turns their back, or will you run and offer help? Will you be the one who stays playing on the cell-phone, or will you lend a helping hand? Will you be the person who will make a difference in the lives of those around you, or are you just going to fade into the background.

Make a difference. Be like Rufus!

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.

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.

Video 1 – Mother and son reunited after he was kidnapped in 1989 at 4 years old.

Stealing children, especially young kids, is a problem all over the world. Sometimes they are sold off for sex slaves, but more often than not, it is just a person that wants to have a young son to call their own.

This man was four years old in 1989. He was stolen and snatched. His parents thought that he was long dead.

Then imagine their surprise when he got a routine gene DNA test. They are becoming rather common in China. Like when you want to have a child, you need to have the DNA approved by the government. So he submitted his DNA and low and behold, he is not who he thought he was!

This is his reunion with his real natural mother.

His father died the year earlier, broken hearted, believing that his son was forever gone.

Video 2 – Boy collapses in an icy pool.

Life is like that. Everything seems nice and fine. Quiet and eventual. Just some small puddles. It’s a little chilly out, not arctic temperatures. SO the boy wants to climb about and just be a boy. Then the unthinkable happens…

Video 3 – Bystanders stop and capture a robber that preys on old people.

This is a robber that accosts older men and women. Often in their 90’s, and often feeble. Both in mind and body. Only this time, a pair of Rufus’s notice what is going on. They go after the thug, chase him down and give him a real tongue lashing, I’ll tell you what!

Video 4 – Fire alarm in a kindergarten.

Everyone in Chinese schools must be able to evacuate quickly and simply. It can actually be amazing to watch. No one wants a repeat of 411. Check it out.

Video 5 – Man saves a dog trapped with a waterfall.

This man is saving a dog that is trapped in a waterfall. Watching this makes me feel good inside. I am reminded that there just might be hope fo the human species after all.

Video 6 – Preventing a sled riding accident.

This kind of things (I’m sure) happens all over America in the Winter. I think it must of happened to me more than a few time. Boy and kids being what they are, are always getting into trouble. Lucky for them, an adult is around to save the day.

Video 7 – Tackling a purse snatcher.

Purse snatchers can think that they can get away and not be caught Little do they realize that there are “watchers” all over the place and it’s up to us, as individuals, to keep the peace and right the wrongs. Be the Rufus!

Video 8 – An entire village pulls up a car.

In China, no one is alone. This can come and be a real problems at times. But, there is a plus side to it. People, friends, community all pull together. They help each other out. It’s not at all like the “lone wolf” mentality that is so persistent in the United States.

This is not a submarine. It’s a car that fell into the icy river below.

Video 9 – Woman helps a heavily loaded motorcycle.

People helping people. I love it!

I love this chick, and man does she have strong legs. But what really attracts me to her is her willingness to help others. What a gal! She for certain put a big old smile on my face.

She didn’t have to.

She could have just kept minding her own business, don’t you know.

Video 10 When chemistry goes bad.

Anyone who has had haz-mat training and MSMD training in industry know that you must respect chemicals. Out-gassing is dangerous, as is the chemical reaction when incorrect quantities are combined. It can suddenly go South very, very quickly.

Like in this video…

Thank you for reading this.

God bless.

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come.

However, when it calls, you must take action. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus. Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

What High School taught me about Diversity.  Here we look at idea of "diversity" from the point of view of what it was like in my High School years. For my High School was fully and intentionally diverse. And at that time, there were two techniques of grouping people.  These techniques were by [1] merit, and [2] by random association. Or in other words; "diversity". Thus we can compare diversity against merit as the criteria used in a selection process.

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.

Video 1 – Policeman helps a young girl cross the street.

It’s difficult to cross the street in China. Very few people will yield or give way for you to pass. Sometime the timid can just stand there trapped for a long, long time. It takes a special person, a Rufus or a hero to break things up. Here we have a police man taking the girl across the street.

Video 2 – Daughter insists on helping a man who fell on the ice.

Ah, the father doesn’t want to get involved. You know. However, the daughter has better ideas. She’s the Rufus and she’s going to help the man who fell on the ice. And she does. She breaks away from the father and helps the man down on the ice.

Video 3 – Car runs over a man and he is trapped under the engine.

And what do you think happens? People just let him die there? Nope. Everyone comes running to pull the man out. But he’s trapped. No time to lose. So then everyone comes and lifts up the car and pulls him out.

Video 4 – Dog takes an orphan kitten home.

I’ve posted another video on this event. The other video, however didn’t show how the dog picked up the kitten, and helped it up the stairs into his master’s house. So cute. That’s dogs for you. Being man’s best friend.

Video 5 – Firemen help the little old lady cross the street.

Unlike America, there are some very, very old people walking about in China. These folk are in their 90’s and while they might be ambulatory, they aren’t thinking right. They need help. The Chinese aren’t the kinds of people to lock their elders away into a “retirement home”. They move in with them and take care of them and when they go out, well, they can be a little befuddled.

Video 6 – Rescue of a boy who climbed out of his window and got stuck.

Lucky for him that his parents had installed child-proof bars. But, you know, boys being boys, just want to be free. So the kid, thinking that he is invincible, decides to try to climb out of his 6th floor window. Never, of course, realizing that if he falls, that he will go SPLAT!

Video 7 Bystanders capture and hold a man who tried to attack a girl.

Some things are not tolerated, and when this fellow tried to take advantage of this young lass, these two men decided to step in and stop the assault. Both of them are true heroes. Real Rufus. The real deal.

Video 8 – HK “Pro-Democracy” Antifa tries to assault a police man and run away…

But, he wasn’t paying attention. As he ran, a bystander set out his leg and the running Antifa “Pro-Democracy” terrorist tripped. He went flying… right off the mall floor and plunged a couple of floors down…

Video 9 – Man stops a truck from crushing another fellow.

Notice this guy. Man! He sees what is going on and hops up and down trying to get the truck driver’s attention! What a real hero! What a Rufus!

Video 10 – Girl in distress.

Here’s a chick that somehow got trapped on top of an awning about 14 floors up. I don’t think that she intended on killing herself, but unless someone helps her soon, that is exactly what will happen. But people are there to help. Real, 100% Rufus.

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come.

However, when it calls, you must take action. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus. Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

The history of how Australia obtained Sheilas; the story of The Lady Juliana, The 18th-Century Prison Ship Filled With Women.   This is the story of the Lady Juliana. This was a special ship designed to convey female convicts from England to Australia. The idea was that a boat load of female convicts would happily link up with a colony of convicts in Australia. Thus making everyone very, very happy, and reform the colony in New South Wales.

What High School taught me about Diversity.  Here we look at idea of "diversity" from the point of view of what it was like in my High School years. For my High School was fully and intentionally diverse. And at that time, there were two techniques of grouping people.  These techniques were by [1] merit, and [2] by random association. Or in other words; "diversity". Thus we can compare diversity against merit as the criteria used in a selection process.

Updates to the full SHTF for American CWII, the early events.

Here’s an on-going post that collects what amounts to “sign posts” to a second American civil war.

The gathering storm, so long  denied, is now so strong as to be  uncontainable. The quarter from which it will break is in doubt, that it  will break is not. We'll discover who the  real preppers are after the  first hard blasts roll across the land. In war this is known as "first  contact with the enemy", the violent unraveling of faulty  imagining  that exposes the viable core, if any.   -The Woodpile Report 24DEC19  

2017 Congressional baseball shooting – Wikipedia

The shooting took place on June 14, 2017, at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park in Alexandria, Virginia, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. There were 24 Republican congressmen who had gathered at the park to practice for the next day's Congressional Baseball Game for Charity, an annual, bipartisan event first held in 1909. Among those at the practice, aside from Scalise, were Senators Rand Paul and Jeff Flake, and Representatives Roger Williams (the team's coach), Chuck Fleischmann, Trent K

Marxists start killing Republican State Senators and Representatives…

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. 

Republicans start to speculate…

Ya think?

Some people are suggesting that since everything is so polarized in the USA today, that a conflict could break out any moment. Uh. Maybe. It’s just that conflicts are NOT organic. They are planned.

Here is a speculation from Townhall.com;

Please remember, all this stuff on the internet and the news never reflects the true reality.

The progressive Marxists planned on a Hillary Clinton presidency. Here’s some better links…

They anticipated Nationwide gun confiscation by the second year into her term. And, the start of genocide against their opposition in 2020 – 2021 time frame.

  • Hillary Clinton Elected in 2016.
  • Gun related Massacre in 2017 (Los Vegas)
  • Gun collection and restrictions 2018 through 2019.
  • Hillary Clinton Reelection 2020
  • Ramp up of “White Privilege” propaganda. 2020.
  • Round-ups of people 2021.
  • Genocide to begin 2021 through 2025.

I argue that the plans are still in play, simply because there is every evidence that the preparations are still in place.

The progressive socialists and their leadership; the oligarchy, are just “biding their time” until they can obtain Obama-level control over the government again.

Let’s see what happens, and please ignore the news as it’s just all speculation. The situation is in flux and “our side” is losing.

 
Names like Comey, McCabe, Ohr, Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Yates, Strzok, Page, Clinton, Abedin, and Lynch have now been emblazoned in the minds of most Americans. 

Not only because they are or were powerful, but because they are members of the ruling elites who have allegedly committed crimes for which none of them have been prosecuted.

Conservatives start to realize that a hot war is in the making…

Things are getting very warm...
In short, minions of Leftardia and Stupidia, you have blundered into a minefield, on a pogo stick. Stop what you’re doing, tiptoe out, and pray to whatever deity you think appropriate that you get away with your skins. Because if you insist on pushing your revolution, you’re going to get the war of which you cannot grasp, and the results of which you cannot even conjure in your wildest fever-swamp nightmares.

Mainstream conservatives start to arm up.

Which brings me to the main point of this piece. It’s imperative  those of us who can see the bigger picture stay as focused and as humane  as possible while things fall apart. 

It’s possible to fight for what’s  right without dehumanizing other people. We must resist all efforts by  the media, pundits and even those around us to suck us into the  collective insanity vortex infecting people across the political  spectrum. 

After all, if we don’t, who will?

Things falling apart is never fun or safe; it never has been.  Something else will surely replace that which is going away, and the  best we can do is try to ensure the world of the future builds upon the  best of what came before, while discarding the destructive and  unethical. 

It means being honest about what’s good about the current  system and what’s rotten to the core. It’s not all bad, but it wasn’t  the end of history either. 

Yes, we’re entering a period of increased  turmoil on a global basis, but the future is still ours to make. Let’s  make it a good one.

Conservatives Wake Up

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.

And they love Trump, because Trump has delivered the oven-fresh, piping hot conservatism they ordered.

 We Have Reached The Tipping Point
 Posted on October 12, 2019 

 I’m just an average guy, seriously.

 I’m no brilliant historian/scholar/military strategist/political guru.

 Just a working stiff.

 But I try to stay abreast of what is going on around me.

 What I am noticing lately is a very clear departure from the views from the Right that I saw even a couple of years ago.

 Even though I claim to be just another Joe Sixpack, I want you to stop and go read what I wrote over two years ago.

 If I really wanted to do some digging, I could go back even farther  and point to where I was telling people that we were already in the  easily identifiable early stages of a Civil War.

 People scoffed at my thoughts at the time.

 That nervous laughter has evolved into mutterings and now open recognition of that state of affairs.

 Some people are finally catching up.

 As a matter of fact, over the time span from then to now, I am seeing  more and more, that actual violence is being called for from those  perpetual cheek turners who previously denied any such thing was even  possible.

 All in Self Defense of course. (Wink wink, nod nod)

 This low level Cold Civil War is getting ready to go Hot people.

 The Left has lost it’s collective fucking mind and thinks it actually has the stroke to win such an unimaginable horror.

 The Right has finally figured out these cretins are dead serious.

 The Right is now openly spreading the word to arm ourselves and prepare for battle in the streets and from the roof tops.

 Just through my usual casual skimming of my Blogrolls I see post after post from Conservative authors spreading that message.

 All it is going to take is a spark to light off an unstoppable slaughter of incomprehensible magnitude.

 The Left has a handful of Bic lighters and are thumbing the wheels every day now.

 What was not too long ago incomprehensible is now a reality.

 These people are going to keep escalating until someone or something stops them dead in their tracks.

 There will be no Gimme’s and no quarter.

 There will be death and misery for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner until the conflagration runs out of fuel to burn.

 It is too late to stop it now.

 May God forgive us for what we are about to do. 

May God forgive us for what we are about to do.

Conservatives get the message out, War is Coming.

Think of what they would do with real power…

Do  you think that a leftist Supreme Court majority won’t construe the  First Amendment to exclude protection for “hate speech,” by which I mean  any thoughts you might wish to express that they object to?

Do  you think they won’t turn the federal bureaucracy – including law  enforcement – against their political enemies a thousand times harder  than before, having been rewarded for the last decade of doing so?

Do  you think they won’t start tossing dissenters into prison? They do in  England. You can go to jail for a tweet there – and do you think the  left thinks that’s a bad thing, or a creative European innovation that  needs to be imported?

How about the Second Amendment? Are you  kidding? The idea that our citizenry maintains the ultimate veto over  tyranny drives them bonkers.

Do you think they won’t use violence  to make you conform? Hell, Democrat presidential candidate Eric Swalwell  is willing to nuke you for not giving up your guns. We know that because he said so.
It’s  time to stop pretending that people who hate our guts don’t hate our  guts, and that given the chance they won’t act exactly like people who  hate our guts would act.

The time to stop them is now, while we  still can peacefully, before they quit tweeting about killing and start  doing it beyond the occasional Bernie Bro at a ball field. We need to  purge the weakhearts and Fredocons  from positions of authority in our movement and be all-in for victory  in 2020. In the meantime, we need to aggressively push our campaign to  remake the courts. And it sure would not hurt to follow the Founders‘  advice to exercise our Second Amendment rights to reinforce the  deterrent to tyranny that is an armed citizenry.

 Thoughts On Our Collective Civil Insanity
 Posted by El Borak | Oct 12, 2019 | Culture | 1  | 
 
 Every now and then, a nation goes crazy. For whatever reason – it  might be collective humiliation or extreme poverty, it might be boredom  or despair – an entire people becomes unmoored from reality.  It says  and does things that in any other time or place would be immediately  dismissed as foolishness or even fever dreams. In its confusion and  hunger, it turns upon itself, devours itself, rips itself to shreds.

 Examples that immediately come to mind are the Weimar Republic in the  1920s and the various revolutionary governments in France in the  1790s.  In reading accounts of the period, one will note that people  outside of the insanity could scarcely believe what they heard coming  from inside it*. One will also note how horribly the regular people  caught inside the system suffered.

 In both cases, increasing political turbulence led to political  violence. Violence led to recrimination. The government, unable or often  unwilling to stop it, fell upon itself in coup and intrigue. Men took  to the streets. Regular people locked their doors and hid or fled the  nation altogether.

 Eventually the people had suffered enough and a reactionary strongman  arose. The suffering endured by regular people in the interim led them  to welcome both Napoleon and Hitler, if only to restore order. Both led  them straight into more suffering.
 
Raise a child up in the way he should go…

 There can be little doubt America has gone similarly insane. The  highest court in our land is arguing in all seriousness whether a man  who thinks he’s a woman deserves employment rather than a strait jacket.  Our intelligence services and parts of our legislative branch persist  in their extra-legal struggle to remove the sitting executive. Our press  lies to us with impunity, and when caught, simply moves on to the next  big lie. We print trillions of dollars from nothing to buy ourselves  collective comfort. And the people are not horrified; rather most of us  are entertained.**

 It’s a bad road that goes to a bad place. While conservatives are  powerless to even slow this clown car, millions of your fellow citizens  are cheering our Progress into insanity. And there’s likely nothing you  can do to change that.

 That last sentence is a hard statement for most Americans to accept.  We are a people made up of doers and problem solvers, entrepreneurs and  go-getters.  Surely there is something we can do.

 There is something you can do: get the hell out of the way. Get your  family and whomever else God has put under your authority the hell out  of the way. Pray and prepare. Because this road leads to national  suffering.

 People like to throw the word “coup” around because it’s politically  powerful.  But they don’t believe that’s truly what we’re seeing. Or  they don’t understand all it means. Because if they did, they would  realize how many of the functions of modern life, how our financial  markets and our web of gas stations and supermarkets, rely on a  government that is able to keep peace. A government truly at war with  itself cannot keep peace for long. A society that cannot define the word  “woman” cannot perpetuate itself for long.

 Whether the coup succeeds or not, we have reached a point at which  the likelihood of America returning to domestic peace is small. With  every university colloquium on the evils of whiteness, with every third  world colony planted on our soil, those odds drop further. That means  the insanity will grow until the people have suffered enough to bring an  end to it by violence***. Be prepared.

 * Ambassador Governeur Morris’ dispatches from Paris during the  French Revolution are a good example. President Jefferson and his  administration almost wholly disbelieved a “republican” government could  act as the French one did.

 ** Unless it’s our power that’s turned off. Then we drive from station to darkened station looking for gasoline.

 *** Those who subscribe to the Fourth Turning thesis (as I do), understand the options for this occurring are legion. 

The Democrat Marxists openly drop the facade. They call for the open disarming of all Americans.

Gov. Ralph Northam confirms Virginia already 'working on' gun  confiscation now that Democrats are in control ... Democratic Party  controls Virginia's legislature, the governorship, lieutenant  governorship, attorney general, and both U.S. Senate seats

Open calls for the Genocide of White Conservative Males…

 The progressives are signaling that if you are white and male very  bad things are going to happen to you.  The cuckservatives are starting  to signal that if you are a Trump supporter, then when term limits  remove Trump, or the next massively rigged election removes Trump, very  bad things are going to happen to you.  The cuckservatives hope that if  they signal hard enough, it is only going to be white male Trump  supporters.

 Out of one side of their mouths cuckservatives say that it is absurd  to suggest that progressives are proposing the extermination or  expulsion of white males, and out of the other side of their mouths they  say that if you are a Trump supporter, come the end of the Trump era,  you are going to pay. 
 
 This is not necessarily a good way of removing Trump.  Not in 2020,  and not in 2024.  In the impeachment vote, every Republican voted party  line, which is an extraordinary and startling turn around.  This is a  vote that signals a hope that Democrats will never be allowed to return  to power, and an expectation that such a return may well be prevented.

 The Republicans, faced with increasingly dire threats from the enemy  have united behind Trump.  With the threat in front of them that from  henceforth politics is going to played for keepsies, they are going with  keeping.  And Trumpism is increasingly moving to the position  “screw  the constitution, if we are ever removed from power, the constitution is  dead anyway. Lets grab on to power and hang on for our dear lives.”

 White males and white Christians cannot continue to win elections, and cannot afford to lose them. 

- Politics played for keeps. 
 White culture and white history is being demonized and erased.   Historically, demonizing a group is usually a prelude to attempting to  physically exterminate the group, to physically erase them after  culturally erasing them.

 Progressives, or at least some progressives whose superior holiness  is such that progressives, and even conservatives, are unable to  criticize them, are now piously advocating the next step, in the august  pages of the New York Times, among other places.

 These calls for extermination are couched in ambiguous language.  But  when someone ambiguously tells you he means to kill you, and fails to  clarify that ambiguity, he means to kill you.

 If you don’t intend to kill someone, and it sounds like you do intend  to kill someone, you are going to clarify.  The New York Times and the  rest are not clarifying.

 The usual terrified cowardly cuckservatives piously tell us that  these terrifying threats are “clearly” intended merely to advocate our  erasure from the culture and from history, but it is not clear at all.   Rather, what is clear is that these terrifying threats are deliberately  ambiguous, like the “Liquidation of the kulaks as a class” 

...

 I read the article as calling for racial violence, but maybe it means  something else. If it does mean something else, neither I nor the  cuckservatives have any idea what that something else is.  It does not  say “Time to exterminate the white race” in so many words, but neither  did Hitler say “Time to exterminate the Jews” in so many words.  If the  article is not saying “Time to exterminate the white race” it is  profoundly unclear what it is saying.  What the article does, however  say clearly is that whites simply by existing unavoidably and incurably  oppress other groups.  What the author proposes to do about this problem  is unclear, but she does seem to be implying the obvious solution and  denying the possibility of other solutions. 

 Bronze Age Pervert lists a pile of exterminationist screeds.

The anti-male and anti-White rhetoric of the new left is  extreme. The racial attacks on whites in particular approaches  exterminationist propaganda seen only in, e.g., the Hutu against the Tutsi in 1990’s Rwanda.

 The cuckservatives reply that these screeds are not calling for  extermination.  Well, they are certainly calling for something, though  what they are calling for is not totally clear.  If it is not  extermination they are calling for, what are they calling for?   Nobody calling for extermination ever says plainly what they mean.   These sound mighty like past calls for extermination, and they surely do  not sound like anything else.  If it is not extermination they propose,  what are they proposing?  They are obviously proposing something.  The  lack of clarity is par for the course whenever monsters propose  monstrous deeds.  These are all calls to action.  If the action is not  “exterminate whitey”, what is it? 

...

The Khmer Rouge were full of wrath at foreign educated intellectuals,  notwithstanding the fact the Khmer Rouge cadre were composed of foreign  educated intellectuals, and very rapidly the Khmer Rouge cadre wiped out  the Khmer Rouge cadre.  I expect that when Scott Aaronson is informed,  somewhat to his surprise, that he is white, he will agree that the needs  of the many outweigh the needs of the few.  If you are a progressive,  and white genocide is on the table, then the way to postpone your  execution is to be twice as enthusiastically in favor of it as everyone  else.  Observe the response of the cuckservatives. 

- Genocide on the way. 

Disarming of Americans begin

Right on schedule… right on time… comes the Marxist takeover of Virginia.

Virginia is going to be the kick-off point.

Virginia Is Going To Be The Crucible Posted on December 13, 2019 – 37

As everyone who considers themselves to be a Patriot in this country is very well aware of, the new State Government in Virginia went Blue and then insane with power.

The Anti Gunners have dropped all pretense of being coy about their lust for gun confiscation, registration and basically disarming the general population completely, up to and including making even practicing illegal if they decide there is intent to train for civil disobedience.

Outlawing militias, hand to hand self defense training and all manner of insanity manifested via Lawfare.

Rumors of calling in the National Guard to facilitate disarming the population have flown around the internet.

I just watched this piece by Matt Bracken that Pete over at Western Rifle Shooters Association posted and I have to say that Bracken seems to have a pretty good grasp of what the ramifications of all of this could very well turn out to be, after all, he pretty much predicted all of this fifteen years ago when he wrote his first book.

I can’t embed the video but if you would like to watch it, and I highly recommend you do, you can get to it at this link.

https://banned.video/watch?id=5df2c2ae8c47c0002b0d9db3

I believe there are over seventy Virginia counties and towns now that have declared themselves to be Second Amendment Sanctuaries.

Almost all passing unanimously.

Matt also passed on in the video that there is a massive rally planned in the State Capitol of Richmond on January 20th, 2020 to protest these new laws and to send a message to the wannabe tyrants in office.

I found this in the comments under the video, Regarding the mass rally in Richmond, Virginia January 20th, 2020 that Matt mentioned at the 16:32 mark – The Virginia Citizens Defense League (https://www.vcdl.org) will be holding their big Lobby Day Rally on Monday January 20th, 2020 (which also happens to be Martin Luther King Day). Mr. Bracken very astutely pointed out that if these new laws go into effect and the Governor feels froggy enough to try and send troops or police around to implement confiscation, that there will be a bloodbath.

He compared our governments 18 year hubristic adventures in Afghanistan to what would very likely happen in rural Virginia just to make a point. What I can  see happening is  more of a nightmare for these tyrannical cucks than even they could possibly imagine in their worst fever dreams.

I can see God Fearing and completely fed up rural Virginians going on the offense. As Bracken pointed out what we and they already know, they don’t have enough people to accomplish this Confiscation wet dream. On their best day.

Add all of the National Guard that Virginia and even possibly a few other states could muster, all of the State and Local police, remember most of the Sheriffs have already told them to go pound sand, plus any Feds they might possibly be able to round up and then put that number next to the population of seventy counties and towns full of heavily armed and fighting mad Virginians and start doing some division on paper.

If I was this dumbass Governor they got, I would be thinking real hard about sitting the fuck down and shutting the fuck up while I was ahead. All of these laws they rushed to pass violate the Constitution without even a hint of legitimacy.

I do believe one of he best visual images I ran across that puts this into perspective is the one I saw over at A Nod To The Gods ,which I swiped fair and square for the purpose of making my point here.

The law.
People, this is the law.

So while this Rat Fucker of a Governor, Ralph Northam and his equally reprehensible accomplices may think that they can just run amok over peoples God Given rights to defend themselves, our Founding Fathers were far sighted enough to see his ilk coming a couple hundred years away and made arrangements to give We The People the ability to reign that kind of shit in up front and from the back too if necessary.

Virginia is shaping up to be the ultimate test of those decisions made way back in the late 1700’s. Because I can absolutely guarantee one thing as sure as the Sun rises in the East, the majority of those people in those seventy counties and towns are not going to surrender their guns.

Period.

Whether Governor Ralphie  thinks he has the balls to try and take them remains to be seen but I would bet a weeks paycheck that if he ever actually tried to force the issue with government guns and enforcers, he wouldn’t be around to see how it ends.

Most of Virginia sets up enclaves to protect them from the Marxist government.

Tazewell County is taking this threat to the Second Amendment very seriously. Not only did they pass a Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution, but they’ve also officially begun to form a militia

The situation is in flux.

  • With Michael Bloomberg’s help, the Democrats took over the Virginia state congress.
  • There’s an anti-paramilitary bill that would disallow armed people to gather or teach others how to use firearms or any technique that could cause injury or death.
  • There’s a bill that would make semi-automatic weapons illegal.
  • Nearly the entire state (aside from the highly populated areas that elected these yahoos) has balked and formed Second Amendment sanctuaries.
  • A legislator threatened the sanctuaries with the National Guard.
  • The sanctuaries responded by activating an organized militia.

The only real way to prevent bloodshed and save face for the congress and governor is for these bills not to pass.

That would be difficult, though, given the fact that Bloomberg dumped millions of dollars into getting people elected who promised to pass strict gun control bills. If they suddenly vote against the bill, they will have to face their angry constituents and the wrath of Bloomberg.

Rural Virginians seem unlikely to back down and are willing to fight. They have another month to get organized to defend their communities.

Marxists double down.

[1] Conservative news outlets reporting on the Virginia situation are being threatened and being warned to stop reporting;

“Your reporting about the growing numbers in the militia create a  clear and present threat to America.  As part of Congress, I’m giving  you fair warning that this is the equivalent of shouting ‘fire’ in a  movie theater.  If your reporting incites violence, or can even be tied  to it, we will make sure to charge your editors with felonies,” wrote  the person. 
[2] They are also being hit by cyber attacks designed to shut down their communication.

The first article we dropped about the growing militias was on Monday. Within two hours, we were hit with several massive cyber attacks. The same happened following articles on Tuesday and on Wednesday.

Marxists in other states move forward on the disarming…

And, the police refuse to disarm the citizenry.

Police in Virginia refuse to comply.

Virginia Marxists threaten to deploy Army to collect guns and enforce a gun ban…

Members of the National Guard refuse to comply.

Members of the National Guard are writing articles saying that they will not comply if ordered to seize weapons, and enforce the anti-gun laws.

Marxists budget for imprisoning Americans that will not comply with gun confiscation…

The budget bill (HB30) includes  an appropriation of a quarter million dollars to carry out a host of  gun control measures that Northam and his anti-gun allies hope to enact.

 The  $250,000 is appropriated to the Corrections Special Reserve Fund in  order to provide for the “increase in the operating cost of adult  correctional facilities resulting from the enactment” of Northam’s gun  control measures. 

Among the enumerated laws that this allocation is  meant to fund is a ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms, the criminalization of private firearms transfers, and gun confiscation orders issued without due process.

The Largest Biological Attack In American History Occurred in Oregon at Public Salad Bars

Here we look at how easy it is to unleash biochemical and germ warfare on an unsuspecting public. Germs, dangerous germs, are easily cultivated. It can be anything from leaving a pizza unattended in a automobile trunk for a week in the Summer, to actually cultivating various strains of anthrax. Now, of course, most Americans would prefer to revolt against the evil oligarchy using the ballot box, or barring that, using the second amendment to the Bill of Rights. They are totally oblivious that simpler and more deadly options are available to them.

War by Salad Bar.

If we asked you to picture a biological weapons attack in America, you might think of the 2001 anthrax attacks. Or maybe some fictional scenario like the nefarious machinations of the Umbrella Corporation (personally, it reminds me of Facebook and Google). Yet, the biggest act of bio-terror in American history occurred at a series of salad bars — which, given how many people sneeze on them, are already a form of biological warfare.

The year was 1984.

Let’s go back to 1984.

Ronald Reagan was President. Everyone wore vibrant colored spandex, carried walkmans, and pastel deco interior decorations were the norm. Radio stations voluntarily played Huey Lewis and the News, and everyone was making tedious George Orwell jokes. No one really thought that it would actually come to pass.

And in far off Oregon a community of like-minded wacko’s began to contemplate taking over the state.

Popularly known as the Orange People because of their brightly coloured robes, Sannyasins were disciples of Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh or Osho.

It’s true, and we tend to forget just how outlandish it actually was. Back then, the Rajneesh movement was starting to commit some pretty heinous crimes. You know, the kind of crimes that would later earn them that Netflix series.

The Rajneesh movement

Founded by Indian mystic Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, the Rajneeshees participated in an intensive syncretic spiritual movement that also made giant piles of money.

Wild Wild Country, Chapman and Maclain Way’s new Netflix docuseries, tells the story of Rajneeshpuram — a utopian commune established in rural Oregon in the early 1980s, by the the followers of Indian mystic Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (later called Osho). The riveting series charts the escalating criminal activity that took place on the ranch, led by Bhagwan’s ruthless personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela, who adopts ever more extreme methods (poison, arson, and more) to oppose the forces — like the U.S. government — that she sees threatening their group.

It was like Scientology, but with a lot of casual sex.

Many of his followers were instructed to have sex in front of him in order to discard their phobias.

They were a complicated group, but for this story, all you need to know is that they fled India for Oregon. While in Oregon, they built a communal farming colony modestly named Rajneeshpuram.

Followers and their leader's mugshot.

 The Oregonian series goes into great detail about many of the events  covered in "Wild Wild Country," including the poisoning of many people  in The Dalles, attempts to rig Wasco County elections by busing in  homeless people to vote, and murder plots against public officials and  Zaitz himself. The series also includes many details not covered in the  documentary. The story of the Rajneeshees is that complex. 

- Read The Oregonian's original 20-part investigative series on Rajneeshees 

Over 7,000 people lived in what was essentially a small town, complete with restaurants and buses.

But residents of the neighboring towns didn’t like that they had their own militia that wandered around with submachine guns.

Guru of bio-terrorism.
Guru of bio-terrorism.
 In the beginning, though before it grew into a cult, Rajneesh had a  monastery in Poona. He appealed especially to westerners, teaching them  about tantric yoga. His followers (a large portion of them North  American celebrities) supposedly believed Rajneesh to be the “guru of  the vagina.” He allegedly slept with several of his female disciples,  taught his followers out of the ordinary sexual practices telling them  it would cure them of unrelated phobias, and instructed couples to have  sex in front of him.

The Rajneeshees would also move into tiny communities, overwhelm the voting rolls, and pass laws that served their own purposes. Like when they voted to rename the town of Antelope as Rajneesh.

And we all know that 1980s small-towners just love this kind of thing.

The good people of Oregon prefer to be the only folks in the area wielding guns for their inevitable fight against the government, and so conflict ensued. And when the county denied the Rajneeshees some construction permits, the fighting got dirty.

The Rajneeshees would also move into tiny communities,  overwhelm the voting rolls, and pass laws that served their own  purposes. Like when they voted to rename the town of Antelope as  Rajneesh.

First, 2,000 homeless people were bused in to help vote Rajneeshees into key government positions, but that failed because, contrary to what Fox News might tell you, you can’t simply pack a voting booth with random hobos.

Naturally, the next step was terrorism.

They targeted salad bars in The Dalles, the relatively large county seat, which couldn’t be overwhelmed with raw numbers like Antelope.

They tainted salad dressing, salsa, water, and produce with a salmonella-contaminated slurry. This germ warefare was pretty nasty and it sickened 751 people and hospitalized 45.

The goal was to put opposing voters out of commission, but somehow the plan backfired when suspicious locals instead turned out in force against their candidates.

While the Rajneeshee were preparing for their mystical leader’s arrival, and Sheela was driving them into excess, the native residents of Antelope were becoming restless.

“They’re invading,” said one local. “Maybe not with bullets, but with money and, um, immoral sex.”

Antelope was a small community, of about 40 people. Most were hunters and ranchers, who had lived in the town their entire lives. They were, for the most part, conservatives. Given its secluded location, the people of Antelope weren’t used to outsiders.

They especially weren’t used to 7,000 of them, all dressed in red, playing music and preaching free love and open sexual relationships. Before long, their welcoming, albeit hesitant, attitude had turned completely volatile.

Before long, their welcoming, albeit hesitant, attitude had turned completely volatile.

Luckily, they weren’t able to pull off their original plan of using goddamn typhoid.

They dressed in red, worked without pay and idolized their  long-silver-bearded leader who would sit in front of them, silent. The  cult was at its height for the four years between 1981 and 1985. A  typical day was a mash-up of work, meditation, drugs, prayer and sex.  For Rajneesh and Patel, it was also a money-making scheme. Rajneesh is  reported to have owned rolex watches and 93 rolls royces all acquired  from the exploitation of his followers.

 Then things got worse. The guru wanted to grow his empire. He was  also dealing with a backlash from Oregon government and citizens. They  were suspicious of the activity happening on his land. They wanted them  out. So he pushed back. He devised a plan to put his followers in local  government—a plot to grow his following and have a position of power in  Oregon. He also wanted revenge against those who were making life  difficult for him. Many of the evil doings of Rajneesh and his cult were  under wraps until 25 years after the collapse of his cult. 

 -  This Oregon tantric sex cult committed the largest incidence of bioterrorism on U.S. soil   

It wasn’t the only thing that they did. Not by a long shot.

First, they came up with a murder scheme. The leader sent Rajneeshees in to the hospital where local politician James Comini was staying. They were to slip poison into his IV.

The plan failed when they found that he wasn’t even hooked up to an IV. Years after this plot became known, Oregon citizens found out that they also stalked others in government.

A hunting magazine declared “open season” on the Rajneeshee, and locals began referring to them as Red Vermin, or Red Rats. Not helping the situation was the fact that the Rajneeshee had taken to patrolling the perimeter of their commune with machine guns and armored cars.

As the local’s hatred toward the Rajneeshee built, so did the Rajneeshees hatred of the locals. Eventually, the Rajneeshee overpowered the residents of Antelope, and several other towns, promptly renaming it Rajneesh.

When Sheela announced that the Rajneeshee had plans to build a city on a mountain, in 1984 the state intervened, denying the permits. In retaliation, Sheela announced plans to place Rajneeshee in the state legislature, bussing in several thousand homeless people from nearby areas to vote for her appointee.

Then, in September of 1984, three years after the cult was established, the clan pulled off their germ warfare stunt.

As part of their scheme to get into government, they poisoned Oregon voters. The followers left their rural range and headed into populated areas slipping salmonella into salad bars and restaurant ingredients.

When the first incidents of salmonella were reported, it seemed to be a case of restaurant negligence. But as more and more people were found to have salmonella poisoning, officials noticed something was very wrong. There were 700 cases of the poisoning in the area—far too many for it to be considered a coincidence.

They traced the incident back to the cult member dressed in red. It is still known as the largest incident of bioterrorism on U.S. soil.

When the government raided Rajneeshpuram, they discovered a chemical warfare lab, a massive wire-tapping operation, and oh yeah, a plot to assassinate the U.S. Attorney for Oregon, because what the Rajneeshees lacked in competence, they made up for in persistence.

One of the restaurants that Ma Anand Sheela and the Rajneeshee contaminated with their “salsa.”

In 1895, after pleading guilty to entering the country without a visa, Bhagwan Rajneesh fled the commune. He called his followers a “gang of fascists,” openly blaming Sheela for the bioterrorism attack. It wasn’t until then that the government conducted a full investigation and realized the extent of the crimes that Sheela was planning.

Within the compound, there was evidence of several more biological weapons, and a detailed plan to assassinate Charles Turner, a U.S. attorney in Oregon. As hundreds of the Rajneeshee fled, others simply wondered how the peaceful, loving, expressive group they had joined had gone so wrong.

Armed with the evidence from the compound, Ma Anand Sheela was arrested and brought to trial. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison for her crimes but released after 39 months.

Ma Anand Sheela claims, to this day, from her home in Switzerland, that she acted at the behest of Rajneesh, that she was in love Rajneesh, and that everything she did was in the interest of Rajneesh.

It’s thanks to that attack that the cult collapsed. Patel was sentenced to ten years in prison for the poisonings. Rajneesh was deported. Patel served the first three years of her sentence before she too was deported off U.S. soil. Rajneesh died young in 1990. As for the ranch, that was converted to a Christian camp. It didn’t stay that way. A fire in 1996 destroyed all the structures created by the Rajneeshee cult.

Conclusion to this story.

That raid mostly ended the movement, and Rajneesh himself died in 1990, although there are still some far less murderous Rajneeshees out there today running generic meditation movements.

Oh, and the mastermind of these plots, Ma Anand Sheela, is now out of jail, so maybe check to see if she’s visited your area lately before you order that Cobb salad.

The Admiral Wilson Leak: Evidence of USAPs (Unacknowledged Special Access Programs) & Reverse Engineering of Extraterrestrial technologies

As I have repeatedly stated, the United States government has known about extraterrestrials for decades. They have established a very secret organization known as MAJestic to study this matter. This organization is used to interact with extraterrestrials and extract technologies from them. This organization is completely removed from the US government and operates secretively within it. It’s sort of like bubbles of water floating within oil.

This article serves as a secondary source of validation of my disclosure of the existence of MAJestic.

  • MAJestic exists.
  • It operates outside of government control.
  • All classifications within it are unacknowledged special access programs. (USAP).
  • Elected officials , politicians, and bureaucrats are not permitted access ever.
  • It is involved in all things extraterrestrial.
  • It is well established and has been in operation for decades.

Executive Summary about this “Leak”.

The world “leak” carries a lot of baggage with it. It’s kind of silly, don’t you know. All that went on is a United Sates Admiral, Tom Wilson, wanted to inquire about certain R&D programs that some of his subordinates had participated in.

He did not care to know all the details, just an executive overview. He felt that he had to, at the bare minimum, understand their involvement in R&D support efforts that lie within deep black special access programs.

Thus…

  • Notes have been made public of a conversation that allegedly occurred on Oct. 16th 2002 with US Admiral Tom Wilson.
  • At that time, US Admiral Tom Wilson was Deputy Director of the DIA & Vice Director for Intelligence [VJ2] for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
  • Tom Wilson admits he was denied access to a SAP involving reverse engineering an alien UFO craft.
  • If true, this incident shows that high-ranking officials are excluded from SAPs & USAPs by an oversight committee.
  • The top military/aerospace corporations can reject anyone without ‘need to know.’
  • Highly advanced technology is in private hands with no public oversight.

The Admiral Wilson leak refers to notes where Wilson, a senior official, admits he was denied access to a Special Access Program where they were reverse engineering vehicles that were not of human fabrication.

Admiral Wilson

Admiral Wilson is a military officer with a long and distinguished career.

  • He was a Real Admiral (upper class).
  • He served as the Deputy Director, and later the Director, of the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency).
  • He also served as the Vice Director for Intelligence for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a position known as VJ2 or J2.

The Notes and their history

On April 19th 2019, researcher Canadian Grant Cameron uploaded to the internet 15 pages of documents.

About Mr. Grant Cameron Grant Cameron is the recipient of the Leeds Conference International Researcher of the Year and the UFO Congress Researcher of the Year. He became involved in Ufology as the Vietnam War ended in May 1975 with personal sightings of a UFO type object which locally became known as Charlie Red Star. 

- Grant Camerion Bio - Modern Knowledge 

These documents are allegedly the notes taken by Dr. Eric Davis on October 16th 2002.

These notes record the conversation between Admiral Wilson and Willard Miller, a US Naval Reserve Commander and top military advisor to Steven Greer of The Disclosure Project.

Greer founded the Center for the Study of Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) in 1990 to create a diplomatic and research-based initiative to contact extraterrestrial civilizations. In 1993, he founded the Disclosure Project, a nonprofit research project, whose goal is to disclose to the public the government's alleged knowledge... 

- Steven M. Greer - Wikipedia 

In the exchange, the admiral admits he was denied access to a SAP (Special Access Program) or more accurately a (U)SAP (Unacknowledged Special Access Program).

Top Secrets

This is because, despite his rank and position, he still didn’t have need to know.

This particular (U)SAP lies wholly outside the purview of the United States government, the military and the entire bureaucracy that supports it. It is in the careful, and well-trained hands of a number of top military aerospace corporations.

In this instance, the (U) SAP involves the reverse engineering of UFO/alien craft technology.

NASA has partnered with Robert Bigelow, who's an unconventional figure in the aerospace world. He's more at home on the Vegas strip than at America's space agency, and he's obsessed with aliens and UFOs. In the spring of last year, he and NASA carried out an historic test to prove his high-flying technology is ready to support humans in space.

The Admiral Wilson Leak Documents

The notes were taken by Dr. Eric Davis, a scientist who was a member of NIDS (National Institute for Discovery Sciences).

The National Institute for Discovery Science, known also as NIDS, was founded by Robert Bigelow serving as a way to channel funds into the scientific study of paranormal phenomena. The NIDS performed research in the area of cattle mutilation and black triangle reports.  
  
The NIDSci bought Skinwalker Ranch after journalist George Knapp first wrote about it in 1996, and Deputy Administrator Colm Kelleher led the investigation for a number of years.  

-   National Institute for Discovery Science - Wikipedia 

NIDS is owned by aerospace billionaire Robert Bigelow (who has openly talked about UFOS and aliens for decades). NIDS conducted scientific research into UFO-related phenomena such as the mystery of the black triangles.

Additionally, Davis is an associate of Dr. Hal Puthoff, the famous developer of remote viewing in the US in the 1970s.

Hal Puthoff Dr Hal Puthoff is one of the original SRI (Stanford Research Institute) team members and creators of the Remote Viewing program, contributor to the development or remote viewing and Ingo Swann’s Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV). 

- Hal Puthoff - Remote Viewing information and resources 

Exopolitical researcher Dr. Michael Salla contacted Davis to verify whether the leak was genuine and confirm whether he had indeed written the notes.

Davis replied that he had no comment.

Taken in total, this is a clue that the content is genuine, since Davis refused to call them a hoax.

The full 15 pages of the Admiral Wilson leak documents are available here. They are worth reading in full.

What the Documents Reveal

The documents record a conversation from 2002 where Admiral Wilson, with hindsight, was referring back to a period from April-June in 1997.

They start with Admiral Wilson confirming that he met with Greer, Miller, Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14 astronaut and founder of Institute of Noetic Sciences), Admiral Mike Crawford and General Pat Hughes (who was Wilson’s boss) in a Pentagon conference room.

The notes state that Wilson and Miller talked privately for 2 hours on UFOs, MJ-12, Roswell, crashed UFOs, alien bodies, etc.

In the notes, “TW” stand for Tom Wilson and “EWD” stands for “Eric Davis”:

TW: Confirmed Greer/Miller/Mitchell gave talk in  Pentagon Conference room. Adm Mike Crawford, Gen. Pat Hughes (Hughes his  boss) were present (others too.) Date April “97. (Ed Mitchell said  4/9/947.) 

After group broke up, Miller/Wilson talked (privately) 2 hours  on UFOs, MJ-12, Roswell, crashed UFOs/alien bodies, etc. TW intrigued 

– knew about intelligence on US mil/intel UFO close encounters 
– and  foreign gov’t encounters. Seen records. Told Miller.
TW: Yes, Miller asked the question on MJ-12/UFO cabal 

– crashed  UFO. Confirmed he called Miller ca. late June ’97 and told that  he/Miller was right 
– there is such an organization in existence.

Davis notes that Wilson was furious that Miller had betrayed his confidence and shared the conversation with others (according to Davis, Miller only told Greer and Mitchell). Wilson goes on to state that he started investigating whether there was a secretive group hiding UFO secrets:

EWD: Okay then, what happened in April-June ’97?
TW: After parting with Miller (week later, he thinks) – I made  calls, knocked on a few doors, talked to people – went on for 45 days  (thereabouts) on and off

– Suggestion came from Ward (Gen. M. Ward) to go through the  records groups files (like an index system) in OUSDAT (Office of the  Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology) 
– Ran into Bill Perry in May ’97 
– talked about this quietly 
– he suggested the same thing 
– They told me of a special projects record group not belonging to usual SAP 
– a special subset of the unacknowledged/carve-outs/waived  programs 
– not belonging to usual SAP divisions as organized in ’94 by  Perry himself 
– set apart from rest but buried/covered by conventional  SAPs 

Admiral Wilson Leak Docs Mention Existence of MJ-12 and (U)SAPs

In just the first few pages of this leak, Wilson has admitted both that MJ-12 exists (or existed) and that advanced technology projects/UFOs are hidden within (U)SAPs.

In the second quoted section above, Wilson states he spent about 45 days looking into the matter, and in the first quoted section above, he states that he concluded that MJ-12 did exist.

He also reveals how he learnt that (U)SAPs exist, as a special subset of SAPs which are “unacknowledged/carve-outs/waived”, something which various whistleblowers have exposed over the years.

How to tell...
How to tell -2

Ufologist Richard Dolan, who wrote his analysis of the Admiral Wilson leak here, coined the phrase “Breakaway Civilization”.

The term “Breakaway Civilization” is used to describe the state of affairs whereby a private military aerospace contractor is in possession of extraordinarily advanced technology and is able to speed light years ahead of what the public thinks is possible.

In short to literally create another civilization. Which is to say, to “breakaway” from the old civilization and evolve. Leaving the old civilization behind, like the discarded skin of a snake that slithers away.

(U)SAP’s reside inside SAP’s.

Michael Salla points out how (U)SAPs are often hidden inside SAPs. He also has shown a confidential NSA document leaked by Snowden to prove the point:

“The method of hiding the most highly classified  programs behind less classified ones was verified in one of the NSA  documents leaked by Edward Snowden called Sentry Eagle. 

It graphically  depicted how Exceptionally Compartmented Information (ECI – an  Intelligence Community classification similar to an Unacknowledged SAP  used by the Pentagon) would be hidden behind a Non-ECI Program (similar  classification status to a conventional SAP).”

Wilson Meets the (U)SAP Gatekeepers.

There are more fascinating details to the story, however to keep this brief, it gets really interesting when Davis starts asking Wilson what he found.

Wilson at first is tight-lipped:

EWD: … so what SAP compartment did you find in?

TW: Core secret – won’t say

EWD: Code name? 

TW: Again won’t say – core secret. 

Code name is MAJestic.

EWD: Who was the project contractor or USG agency that runs the program?

TW: An aerospace technology contractor – one of the top ones in US.

EWD: Who?

TW: Core secret – can’t tell.

EWD: Defense contractor?

TW: Yes, the best one of them.

EWD: Intelligence too?

TW: In their corporate portfolio.

EWD: Give a hint?

TW: Sorry no.
 

People have guessed that it could be Northrop Grumman or Boeing, although Lockheed Martin is also likely, given the notoriety of its Skunkworks program.

We do not know which particular sub-program (U)SAP is involved in this instance. However, just about all American aerospace companies participate in MAJestic operations to some extent.

Wilson goes on to say how he called them.

He demanded to be “read in” or informed about the project.

It was a surprise to him, and he was given the access denied treatment:

TW: (End of May ’97) Made three calls to the program  manager 

– one of them conference call with security director and  corporate attorney. Confusion on their part at to why I was looking for them and what I wanted from them or wanted to know about. Very testy tone from all of them.

TW: I told threesome I wanted formal briefing, tour, etc. 

– was  exploiting my regulatory authority as Deputy Director DIA/Assistant  Joint Chief of Staff J-2 
– Told them my not being briefed was oversight they needed to correct 
– I demanded!
TW: They needed to discuss this (his demand) so hung up. Got  called 2 days later and they said they don’t want to talk on phone and arranged for face-to-face meeting at their facility.
EWD: Did you go?
TW: Yes, ten days later (mid-June or so). Flew out there

– Met in their conference room in their secure vault
– Three of them show up
EWD: 3 guys with whom you had telecon?
TW: Yes, same 3

– Security director (NSA-retired, a CI expert)
– Program director
– Corporate attorney

– Called themselves “the watch committee” or gate keepers

This watch committee or group of gatekeepers then proceeded to tell Wilson that although his rank, authority and credentials checked out, he still wasn’t getting access. In (U)SAP programs within MAJestic, there is always a handful of people in the know. They are the “gatekeepers” and “watch committee”.

They are the ONLY people within MAJestic that has any idea of the detailed scope of actions within that sub (U)SAP.

In my own (U)SAP, the "gatekeepers" are two in number, with a third that might have partial understanding of my role. They filter the summaries and context that I acquire as part of my role, and provide the distilled simplified "executive summaries" to the MAJestic management for utilization.

They said they had reached a previous formal agreement with the Pentagon’s Special Access Programs Oversight Committee (SAPOC).

The plan standardized and formalized the SAP approval, termination, revalidation and restructuring process through the Special Access Program Oversight Committee (SAPOC). A Senior Review Group (SRG) was established to support the SAPOC principals. 

- Special Access Program Oversight Committee (SAPOC) 

The agreement was that they (the watch committee) and only they would decide who met the rigorous criteria to gain access. Those few people would be on a list called the bigot list:

[TW] Said after that episode a formal agreement was struck with Pentagon people (SAPOC) to prevent this in future 

– didn’t  want a repeat
– Special criteria were established in agreement
– A special circumstance that must meet rigorous access criteria set by contractor committee
– No USG personnel are to gain access unless they met the criteria 
– to be administered by contractor committee (program director,  attorney, security director) irregardless of the tickets and position USG personnel possess
– Literally their way or the highway.




EWG: What are criteria? 

TW: I asked for that and they refused to give answer. I was mad 

– implication is now 
– to me 
– they operate without official oversight or  any justification 
– politically dangerous place to be! 

TW: … they weren’t going to let me in the door 

EWD: Why? 

TW: They said my tickets were all confirmed and valid, but I was not on the bigot list

The Bigot List

The bigot list is, according to Wikipedia, a…

“is  a list of personnel possessing appropriate security clearance and who  are cleared to know details of a particular operation, or other  sensitive information.” 

It is a term of British origin and is widely used by US intelligence agencies.

The program director then, somewhat surprisingly given this exceptional program secrecy, showed Wilson the bigot list.

Wilson saw that there was no-one from the Executive (i.e. White House) or Legislative Branches of the US Government – just private contractors and a couple of Pentagon people.

EWD: Who was on it? Recognize names? 

TW: That is core secret.

Willing to say that most were program employees – names and  titles (job titles) – civilians – didn’t recognize any military  personnel – could be there.

This is something that I have been saying for years. MAJestic members are technically educated professionals with a military background, working in a civilian capacity.

EWD: Any politicians? 

TW: No

– No White House names, no President!
– No Congressional people
– No Congressional staffers
EDW: Any in Clinton or Bush Sr. Administrations? 

TW: No! But handful of names were Pentagon individuals I recognized …

The Watch Committee Admits They are Reverse Engineering UFOs of Extraterrestrial Origin

The Admiral Wilson leak document describes how the Project Manager of the watch committee actually admitted the nature of the project they were so closely guarding.

The Project Manager admitted that the project was about reverse engineering technology from extraterrestrial vehicles.

[TW] Program Manager said they were 

Not any weapons program
Not any intelligence program
Not any special ops or logistics program
Doesn’t fit these categories

– I asked what they were then
– Loud groan from Program Manager
– Security Director and attorney say it’s okay to say it.
EWD: Say what?
TW: There were a reverse engineering program 

– Something recovered years ago in the past
– Technological hardware was recovered

– So I thought they meant recovered Soviet/Chinese,  etc. hardware and reverse engineer it 
– like a missile or intel platform  or aircraft 
– actually came to meeting expecting to find a sensitive foreign collection and reverse engineering operation 
– thought “UFOs” (was) used as a cover for that 
– So I said that and they said they weren’t that either

– They had (program manager talking) a craft 
– an intact craft they believed could fly …
– Program manager said they didn’t know where it was from [they had some ideas on this] 

– it was technology that was not of this Earth 
– not made by man 
– not by human hands

Conclusion

Wilson ended his tale by saying that eventually he did meet with the SAPOC chairman at the Pentagon. He backed up the access denial Wilson was given.

Wilson got angry against at the SAPOC chairman, who then told Wilson that he had better shut up and drop the matter, else he wouldn’t get the DIA directorship and he may lose a ranking star.

Wilson backed off. The matter ended.

Opinion

As time moves forward, other parts of the enormous puzzle will start to fall into place.

Any American, living in 2020, who believes that America doesn’t have secrets or that we are alone in the universe, or that America still has “freedom” inside of our wonderful “democracy” is living a terrible, terrible lie.

The world is not what you all think it is.

As I have been saying for years, now.

Be the Rufus; more examples of personal heroism in China. Part 17.

More examples of personal heroism in China. This is part seventeen.

This continues earlier posts and presents some new and curious situations that only a real Rufus will know how to handle.

Here are some more videos of personal heroism. These videos all take place in China, and show examples of how average, normal, everyday people (or dogs and cats) can make a difference. When the calling strikes and an emergency occurs, will you be the one who turns their back, or will you run and offer help? Will you be the one who stays playing on the cell-phone, or will you lend a helping hand? Will you be the person who will make a difference in the lives of those around you, or are you just going to fade into the background.

Make a difference. Be like Rufus!

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.

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.

Video 1 – Never give up on your training.

Sure, you might be a martial arts expert, but your day to day job is as a common laborer. That means nothing. Nothing! You are not your job. Nor, are you your career. People need to stop identifying themselves by those antiquated measures.

Here we have a common laborer practicing GongFu while he is sweeping the street. The Rufus is always on point.

Video 2 – Off duty policeman stops a hold up.

The Rufus is always ready to take action at a moment’s notice. here we have a normal (everyday) police man going inside to grab a coke (or pack of cigarettes) and minding his own business. When three teenage youths decide to rob the store. Bad move, kids…

Video 3 – There are three kinds of people in the world.

Yup, this video is pretty funny. So the father decides to pretend that he is ill and see what his triplet girls react to it…

The one girl take the candy out of his hand and leaves. Mission accomplished.

One girl freaks out. Gets all emotional and screams and cries in panic.

The last girl tries to find oout what is wrong and goes to help the father.

Yuppur. There are three kinds of people in the world.

Video 4 – A sense of community.

In rural and small town America you have a sense of community. People help each other out. They visit each other and offer gifts and support to the fire and police. Well, it is the same in the rest of the world also. This is especially true in China where people are hyper-patriotic about their nation and their race.

Here we see just average people giving some “good will” gifts to the local fire departments.

Video 5 – Saving a boy from drowning.

Here is a video that I might have pasted before, but this is the better, longer and more detailed version. A boy falls (jumps?) into a deep pool and then discovers that he cannot swim. Yikes!

The people nearby all freak and run around trying to do things. Notice that one doesn’t care, and just jumps in immediately to save the boy. A real hero. Rufus is in all of us.

Video 6 – Rescue before the car goes off the side of a cliff.

Yikes! You are driving along and then suddenly your car starts to slide off the road and down the sharp and steep cliff side. What are you going to do? Well, if you are the Rufus, you spring into action and help pull the people to safety. That’s what!

Video 7 – Alert Stop n’ Go employee.

China is filled with gas stations, and fast food quickie marts. Here we have a motor-trike that catches on fire. Luckily the station attendants are all well trained, and immediately spring into action. Time her actions. Within three seconds there is a fire extinguisher being sprayed on the fire.

The Rufus comes in all sizes and shapes!

Video 8 – Truck driver shelters disabled motorcycle rider.

This poor motorcycle rider is in distress. His bike konked out, in the middle of a very busy super highway and cars are racing left and right. Lucky for him that the truck driver decides to use his enormous rig to shelter the bike from the on-coming cars. This is a pure Rufus action. Heroes. They come in all sizes and shapes. They are people like YOU!

Video 9 – Rescue of an old man on the escalator.

When the unexpected happens, Rufus comes to the rescue.

Video 10 – Takedown of a radicalized uyghur Muslim with a machete.

So you are in China and this guy is threatening everyone in the parking lot. He’s got a large machete, and screaming “God is great!” in some kind of strange language. What are you going to do?

Thank you for reading this.

God bless.

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come.

However, when it calls, you must take action. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus. Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

What High School taught me about Diversity.  Here we look at idea of "diversity" from the point of view of what it was like in my High School years. For my High School was fully and intentionally diverse. And at that time, there were two techniques of grouping people.  These techniques were by [1] merit, and [2] by random association. Or in other words; "diversity". Thus we can compare diversity against merit as the criteria used in a selection process.

Ozymandias (poem) by Percy Bysshe Shelley

This is a most excellent poem.  In “Ozymandias,” Shelley describes a crumbling statue of Ozymandias as a way to portray the transience of political power and to praise art’s power of preserving the past.  I offer the readers to send a copy of it to their Congressman, as a reminder of their role in the larger picture of life and the universe.

I met a traveler from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Virginia might be where CWII begins, and here is why SHTF is coming soon.

This article discusses the current preparations for war on going in the state of Virginia. This is a war between conservative patriots, and progressive Marxists. It’s a war between then the urban cities and the rural areas. In many ways, it is shaping up to resemble the Bosnia civil war in general scope with elements of the Rwandan genocide being planned for in the urban areas.

It is my sincere hope that things can be diffused shortly. However, the build up of tensions is proceeding unabated, and it appears to be intentional.

America today. We are at a point of no return.
America today. We are at a point of no return.

First, the sides

The sides have already been established early on. One one side you have the conservative, traditional patriots. They reside in the predominantly rural areas and typically vote Republican and voted Trump into office. They fiercely defend free speech, free association, and the right to bear arms. They are very, very tired of progressive Marxism being rammed down their collective throats, and it appears their angst has reached a breaking point.

They follow and believe in the Constitution, both State and Federal, as written.

“It is the responsibility of the patriot to protect his country from its government.”

—Thomas Paine

On the other side you have the progressive socialist Marxists. They voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. They have been funded from enormous cash donations out of state, and even out of country. They have big business, and big government, and big landholders and the big oligarchy on their side. They pretty much reside in the urban areas and the richest and wealthiest counties.

The progressive activists come in different shapes, sizes and an amazing array of names. They go from democrat socialists, to communists, to liberals, to progressives, to social activists. They ahve armed groups that range fromt he Black Panthers, to the BLM and the Antifa. They all believe in replacing the United States Constitution with a more malleable document where they can control everything.

The break down between these two groups can easily be illustrated on the 2016 election map, by country, for Virginia in 2016.

Second, the violations of Rights

Expert Tip – Never hand in your weapons to the government.

Well, after intense funding from outside the state, and a lack of interest in the Republican “wishy-washy” candidates, the progressive socialist democrat Marxists took control of all the levers of power in Virginia.

This newly elected democrat majority wants to ban the majority of firearms in the state. They want to ban everything about firearms. They want to ban ownership, transport, training and even mentioning having a gun.

The German genocidal events are well known to most Americans over the age of 40. Not so well known to the younger generations. The Nazi Germans "purged" the German society of "undesirables" which included just about EVERYONE except the "chosen" Arian race.
Hitler gun ban meme.

As such the newly elected socialist / Marxist democrats wasted no time “rubber stamping” pre-written anti-gun legislation…

The Armenean death march.
Four years after the government passed the anti-gun ownership legislation, the Christians were all collected and rounded up by armed militia, soldiers and local police forces. They were collected in the schools, town centers, and formed into groups. Then they were either killed outright, or sent on death marches into the hot barren desert.

They want people to turn in their weapons, New Zealand style, and barring that go house to house to search and confiscate the weapons. Those that do not comply will be arrested and given felony convictions.

It’s a scene right out of the 1984 movie “Red Dawn”.

FEMA camp scene from the 1984 movie "Red Dawn". Where people were rounded up because of their association with weapons.
FEMA camp scene from the 1984 movie “Red Dawn”. Where people were rounded up because of their association with weapons. Here, Harry Dean Stanton gave the legendary line, “AVENGE ME!”

Why this is contentious.

The political “talking points” is that all this is “common sense gun control”.

However, the real reason is to wrest control of the United States from the people. This is a long-duration effort that has been on-going for over a century, and now the only thing standing in the way of this takeover are clusters of armed citizens.

The idea is to disarm the citizens and begin the standard socialist takeover of the nation. Already, [1] the socialist Marxists have gained control of almost every government institution, and has molded it in their image. They have also [2] taken over many of the largest private institutions as well. In addition, they have also [3] been funding and arming socialist Marxist agitators.

Everything is falling into place.

For those of you that don’t know what this means, I’ll tell you. It means complete and utter genocide of the opposition.

It’s “common sense” genocide.

Ahhh, but don’t listen to me. Listen and get a second opinion, like this…

Gun Control "wet dreams". Here is a second opinion on this subject.
Gun Control “wet dreams”. Here is a second opinion on this subject.

Our protections…

Aside from a direct violation of the second Amendment in the Bill of RIGHTS…

Right to Bear Arms
Passed by Congress September 25, 1789. Ratified December 15, 1791. The first 10 amendments form the Bill of Rights 
 
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free  State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be  infringed. 

It is also a violation of the Fourth Amendment to the Bill of RIGHTS. For these laws talk about going house to house, searching for firearms and seizing them, and arresting the people in the house for good measure.

Search and Seizure
Passed by Congress September 25, 1789. Ratified December 15, 1791. The first 10 amendments form the Bill of Rights 

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,  and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be  violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,  supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place  to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. 

Another opinion…

Reg Flag laws.
There isn’t any “due process” in any of these Democrat actions on gun control.

To these people, it’s as if the Bill of Rights does not exist, and that elected officials can make what ever rules and laws they want, selectively enforce them and the people; the citizens have absolutely zero say in the matter.

The American Bill of Rights does not exist if the government does not protect it.

Universal Background Checks

Tazewell County has formed an official active militia.

Tazewell County has formed an official active militia as per the Second Amendment to the Constitution. This is in response to the actions of Virginia lawmakers that (immediately upon election) passed a very draconian gun control bill. A bill that is in violation of both the Federal and the Virginia Bill of Rights.

Tazewell County has  formed an official active militia as per the Second Amendment to the  Constitution.
Tazewell County has formed an official active militia as per the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

The foundation and the authority for Tazewell County to take this action is the Constitution itself;

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security  of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall  not be infringed.

To quote Daisy Luther ;

"To all of those who like to mock gun owners and ask if they’re going  to fight tyranny in a militia, Virginia’s answer is a clear and adamant  “yes.” That’s exactly what they’re planning to do."

Background

Daisy Luther has been tracking this issue aggressively on her website The Organic Prepper. I can find no source finer and better researched than hers on this issue…

After the most recent election, the state’s House and Senate are both Democrat majorities and they haven’t wasted a moment in attempting to gut the gun laws in what has historically been a permissive state.

The so-called “assault weapon ban” is SB16 and  has that perilously vague wording we all know to be incredibly  dangerous. In some interpretations, this law, if it passes, could make  illegal the ownership or transportation of any semi-automatic gun  because extendable magazines are available for it – and you don’t even  have to have the extendable mags. (source)

I personally do not know if the progressive Marxist democrats in the United States realize that they are going to experience some “push back”, or if the “triggers” are intentional to start open warfare. I just don’t know.

Maybe they just think we are all stupid, dumb hicks that will obey what ever they tell us because we are not as bright and enlightened as they.
Maybe they just think we are all stupid, dumb hicks that will obey what ever they tell us because we are not as bright and enlightened as they.

The Reaction

In a series of rapidly changing developments, Virginia is undergoing  wholesale rebellion by rural and even suburban counties, rejecting the  oppressive gun control agenda recently revealed by the new incoming  Democrat-controlled legislature. 

Gun owners all across Old Dominion have  been up in arms since anti-gun forces took the House and Senate in the  recent election and are now preparing to resist having their arms taken  from them in any way possible. 

-Gun Rights Watch

That’s pretty much it.

You can chip away at every Right in the book , but when you start taking away the 2nd amendment… the very last roadblock to mass slaughter, genocide and tyranny, patriots will put their foot down.

And they have.

Counties across the state quickly organized into Second Amendment sanctuaries.

The speed at which they reacted is a testament to how furious they are  that their state government now wishes to infringe on their rights. 

An  even dozen counties have passed gun owner sanctuary resolutions already,  with new ones coming on a near-daily basis. 

-Gun Rights Watch 

The idea behind this is that the counties, as Second Amendment sanctuaries, would disregard any law that violates either the Federal or State Rights protecting firearm ownership, use and training.

The county-level defensive tactic that began originally in Oregon close to a decade ago, then popularized in Illinois, has spread to over a dozen states. It comes as no surprise that with few other options and little to lose, many communities in the state are vowing not to take part in any gun confiscation schemes or enforcement of unconstitutional laws designed to make private citizens less able to defend themselves.

Now, compare this map to the 2016 election map at the first part of this post. Obviously the battle lines are forming and the progressive tyrannical democrat Marxists want to disarm all traditional conservatives.

Then they have other things that they intend to do. It’s the historical norm. Don’t you know.

Other things…

South Africa. Once the socialist Marxists gain control, they purge all opposition by using military armed police.
South Africa. Once the socialist Marxists gain control, they purge all opposition by using military armed police. Do you think that those dead bodies on the ground had firearms? Do you think that they were trained in how to shoot, and oppose the ruling Marxists in power? This is what a Marxist progressive socialist utopia looks like. It is South Africa today. The disarmed people are turning over their farms, vehicles, and property for an increasingly hungry Marxist government.

The Reaction from the Tyrannical Marxists…

This reaction of taking proactive steps, as opposed to the nearly uniform sheep-like behavior of the past few centuries took the Marxists by surprise. Their reaction was totalitarian.

What?!?!

The sheep (serf-slaves) won't obey us? Well, that just won't go. Jeeves, please fetch me my jewel-encrusted phone. Yes. Now, quickly, don't you know, my masseuse is due in five minutes...

George. George Soros, please. Yes.

What should we do? The plantation is in open rebellion. What would you advise?

Oh, yes. That's right.

Kill the fuckers. Show them who's boss...

State Representative Donald MacEachin (D) was the first to suggest calling up the National Guard to squelch the rebellion…

McEachin also noted that Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam could call the National Guard, if necessary.

“And ultimately, I’m not the governor, but the governor may have to  nationalize the National Guard to enforce the law,” he said. “That’s his  call, because I don’t know how serious these counties are and how  severe the violations of law will be. But that’s obviously an option he  has.” (source)

This reaction was historical.

Which is to say, it follows the model of a tyrannical takeover predictably and unequivocally. It’s historical and follows the same tried and true application of seize, suppress, repress and implement tyranny.

Read your history…

There is no fucking way that Americans are going to allow the government to take away their rights, and implement genocide on them and their families.

No. Fucking. Way.

The progressive Marxists are delusional to believe that it will ever happen without a fight.

So they began to contemplate calling in the military to disarm, arrest, and subjugate the citizens of Virginia.

Adolf Hitler addressing his military telling them that they need to round up Jews, and undesirables, disarm them all for the good of the nation.

The National Guard’s Response

Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia’s National Guard responded rather vaguely via Twitter.

We have received multiple questions regarding proposed  legislation for the 2020 General Assembly session and the authority of  the Governor of Virginia to employ the Virginia National Guard in a law  enforcement role. 

We understand and respect the passion people feel  for the U.S. Constitution and 2nd Amendment rights. We will not  speculate about the possible use of the Virginia National Guard.

— Va. National Guard (@VaNationalGuard) December 13, 2019

The responses in the Twitter thread were very interesting and suggest a firestorm is brewing…

A militia is forming in Virginia

Tazewell County, a county on the mountainous West Virginia border, is taking this threat to the Rights of citizens very seriously. In their minds, the government has completely failed them that that the time has long past for passive acceptance of tyranny. They believe that they need to take strong, unequivocal, and proactive measures to assure that their Rights will remain intact and in place.

The militia is constantly made fun of by the mainstream American media, however there is nothing wrong with demanding that people obey the Constitution. When the government stops following it, and then starts to break every single law in the book, true patriots will not allow it to pass. They will fight back and wrest control back to them.

So, not only did they pass a Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution, but they’ve also officially begun to form an armed, and active militia.

Just this past Tuesday, on December 10th, the Board of  Supervisors from Tazewell County passed two different resolutions in  light of controversy circling those who are pro-gun. 

The first resolution declared the county to be a second amendment sanctuary. This  is not at all surprising to see, as 76 out of 95 counties, 9 out of 38  independent cities, and 13 towns have adopted second amendment sanctuary  resolutions.

The second item on the agenda was the proposition of establishing a  militia in the county. When both of the resolutions passed, the crowd  cheered loudly in support of the decisions.  

Also, the resolutions  didn’t exactly pass by a small margin; the votes were unanimous, with  more than 200 citizens standing by in support.
 
-Law Enforcement Today (source)

County Administrator Eric Young explained why the county has opted to form a militia.

“Our position is that Article I, Section 13, of the  Constitution of Virginia reserves the right to ‘order’ militia to the  localities. 

Therefore, counties, not the state, determine what types of arms may be carried in their territory and by whom. So, we are  ‘ordering’ the militia by making sure everyone can own a weapon.”

Thus, if anyone from the state (government) tries to remove the Sheriff from their  elected office because they refuse to enforce unjust laws, those state  officials will be faced with a lawful militia composed of citizens  within the state. 

-  Tazewell County Administrator Eric Young (source)

Arming up and readying for battle

This article explains the extensive training being offered by Tazewell County to its citizens. This is being done in order to make sure everyone is acting safely and responsibly.

“Coincidentally,” there’s an anti-paramilitary bill on the table.

It’s probably no coincidence that at the same time militias are forming, there’s also a bill to make them illegal. The anti-paramilitary bill SB64 has thrown kerosene on an already brilliant inferno.

This bill, once it becomes law, will make learning how to shoot a weapon a felony. It will be equal to that of rape of a child, or selling hard drugs to infants.

The future of anyone who has any association with guns, gun organizations, shooting, shooting clubs, or hunting. This is a scene from the Bosnia conflict. Take note that all these rounded up men, every single one in this picture, was killed and found buried in a mass grave five years later.
The future of anyone who has any association with guns, gun organizations, shooting, shooting clubs, or hunting. This is a scene from the Bosnia conflict. Take note that all these rounded up men, every single one in this picture, was killed and found buried in a mass grave five years later.

Obviously, the radical progressive Marxists want a conflict. They do so, obviously in the belief, that they will persevere and win this conflict.

Here’s some of the text of that bill.

§ 18.2-433.2. Paramilitary activity prohibited; penalty.A person shall be is guilty of unlawful paramilitary activity, punishable as a Class 5 felony if he:

1. Teaches or demonstrates to any other person the use, application, or making of any firearm, explosive, or  incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to  persons, knowing or having reason to know or intending that such  training will be employed for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil  disorder; or

2. Assembles with one or more persons for the purpose of training  with, practicing with, or being instructed in the use of any firearm,  explosive, or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing  injury or death to persons, intending to employ such training for use  in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder; or

3. Assembles with one or more persons with the intent of  intimidating any person or group of persons by drilling, parading, or  marching with any firearm, any explosive or incendiary device, or any  components or combination thereof. 

-(source)

Obviously, this is not a coincidence.

They predicted how rural Virginians would respond to their gun-grabbing actions. Their plan all along was to confiscate guns and turn any organized resistance into a felony.

The "fall back" position is to "register the guns" instead of an outright seizure. But that is just buying time. The truth is that history tells us that ALL registration of weapons WILL result in collection efforts.
The “fall back” position is to “register the guns” instead of an outright seizure. But that is just buying time. The truth is that history tells us that ALL registration of weapons WILL result in collection efforts, followed by the obligatory genocide of the disarmed. Gun registration is the “Albanian method” of genocide.

The Virginia Legislators are committing treason.

There could hardly be anything more unconstitutional than SB64. When you violate the Constitution you commit treason.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the  security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,  shall not be infringed.

They are violating their oath.

This is the pledge these legislators swore:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia,  and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge all the duties incumbent upon me as ………. according to the best of my ability, (so help me God).” 

-(source)

Every person in the government who has sworn this oath yet supports these unconstitutional bills should be immediately recalled as well as tried criminally. This is long overdue, and because of this lack of policing of the elected officials, we have found ourselves within this mess.

When the government stops policing the very structure of the national Constitution, the door opens wide for the usurpation by people with evil intent.
When the government stops policing the very structure of the national Constitution, the door opens wide for the usurpation by people with evil intent.

This strategy was orchestrated by someone with a lot of money and power.

Daisy Luther framed this situation quite presciently. She said…

This is something that has been thought through, perhaps even by gun  control advocate and presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg.  The  reason I’m suggesting Bloomberg specifically is that his PAC donated millions and millions of dollars to turn the legislatures of 24 states to a Democrat majority.  

His millions worked in 21 of those cases, and Virginia is one of them.  Packing the state legislatures with allies would help his agenda should he actually become the next president. Records filed so far show that  organizations controlled and funded by Mr. Bloomberg spent more than $41  million on 24 House races, much of it on eye-catching ads rolled out on  social media and broadcast on television in the crucial final days of the campaign. 

And while it’s impossible to conclude that any one factor tipped the balance in a race, Mr. Bloomberg appears  to have reaped the benefits of his millions in giving.  

Democrats won 21 of the 24 races he sought to influence.  Of those, 12 had been considered  either tossups or in Republican districts. “The mission was to flip the House. Success or failure would be  defined by that,” said Howard Wolfson, a senior adviser to Mr.  Bloomberg. (source)

Bloomberg is rabidly anti-gun and has said that ending “the nationwide madness of U.S. gun violence”  is the impetus behind his run for the White House. If he were to be  elected, may God help America, because he will destroy everything for  which our nation has ever stood.

Here’s the summary on what’s happening in Virginia

His vrs Her thoughts.
It’s funny because it is so very true. Girls and guns. So very funny.

Let’s look at all these facts together.

  • With Michael Bloomberg’s help, the Democrats took over the Virginia state congress.
  • There’s an anti-paramilitary bill that would disallow armed people to gather or teach others how to use firearms or any technique that could cause injury or death.
  • There’s a bill that would make semi-automatic weapons illegal.
  • Nearly the entire state (aside from the highly populated areas that elected these yahoos) has balked and formed Second Amendment sanctuaries.
  • A legislator threatened the sanctuaries with the National Guard.
  • The sanctuaries responded by activating an organized militia.

The only real way to prevent bloodshed and save face for the congress and governor is for these bills not to pass.

What happens when only the government has guns.
What happens when only the government has guns.

That would be difficult, though, given the fact that Bloomberg dumped millions of dollars into getting people elected who promised to pass strict gun control bills. If they suddenly vote against the bill, they will have to face their angry constituents and the wrath of Bloomberg.

Rural Virginians seem unlikely to back down and are willing to fight. They have another month to get organized to defend their communities.

Here is what Daisy Luther has to say…

Remember that in situations such as these, the rumor mill works  overtime. There are a lot of reports that are exaggerated. 

The truth is  bad enough that we don’t need to add far-fetched theories to the mix. 
History is terrible enough and crazy enough that all you need to do is read the "lessons learned" from the handful of survivors of Socialist / Marxist genocides.
History is terrible enough and crazy enough that all you need to do is read the “lessons learned” from the handful of survivors of Socialist / Marxist genocides.
This article is a very good, common-sense breakdown of fact vs. fiction,  although some vehemently disagree with the assessment that the  government will not turn off communications and power for the sanctuary  areas. 

It’s certainly not impossible to imagine that drastic measures  could be taken.
Very Puzzling.
Very Puzzling.
What will happen next remains to be seen, but it is no exaggeration to say that the future of our country is now riding on the response of Virginians, should these unconstitutional laws pass.

Conclusion

These articles will either pass or not.

If they pass, there will be “push back” from the conservative patriots against the Marxist democrats.

If they do not pass, then there will be a short (perhaps two to three years) while the progressive Marxists regroup and rethink a strategy that will enable them to attain their goals to their benefit.

And that is the way it is.

This is when the bullet meets the bone.
This is when the bullet meets the bone.

Thus, the first volley into CWII and SHTF is in progress. Make sure that you have achieved all your prepper goals, mapped out strategies and have back-up plans in the event that things do not go in your favor.

Nice meme on gun collection and genocide,
There is a direct link between gun collection and genocide. It is the historical norm. However, most people are ignorant of history, and others don’t care. They openly want genocide… against their neighbors. They never think that it could be used against them.

Best of luck, and God’s grace.

How Iran is able to keep it’s aging American-made F-14 fighters flying.

Before the Iranian Revolution, which began in 1978, Iran was a steadfast U.S. ally. Consequently, the Iranian military arsenal was packed with American-made weapons. Iranian infantry carried M-16s; Iranian tankers drove M-60 Pattons; Iranian pilots flew F-4 Phantoms and F-14 Tomcats — a superb airframe, that was immortalized by the movie Top Gun.

Since that revolution, however, Iran has been barred from purchasing weapons or, more importantly, components and spare parts for its ageing military.

Successive ways of economic sanctions, moreover, have constricted the country’s military budget, thus making it more difficult to purchase new arms for those willing to sell (Russia and China, most notably).

The Iranians have confronted this restriction by either developing their own weapons or by scavenging the global arms market for spare parts and “smuggling them” into their country.

Iran still operates some Tomcats that are being modernized to extend  their operative life. Domestic upgrades include  avionics, weapons (R-73E, AIM-54A+“Fakkur”,  AIM-54A, AIM-7E and AIM-9J are among the air to air missiles adapted to  the aircraft’s fire control system) and color scheme: indeed the plane  was give a  three-tone Asian Minor II camouflage pattern resembling the  one adopted by Russian 4th and 5th generation fighter planes and U.S.  Aggressors. 

- The Aviationist 

But despite Iran’s threat to the West through its sponsorship of terrorism, there are individuals who are unsurprisingly willing to put profit before security.

Alexander George, a British pensioner, was jailed for shipping F-4 and MiG parts to Iran, thus violating the American “Weapons of Mass Destruction” embargo. George utilized front companies, which he had established in both Dubai and Malaysia, to smuggle into Iran essential components for the Iranian Air Force’s ageing fleet.

In return, he made almost $7 million.

What is the role the Tomcat could play in a hypothetical war against Israel?

As already explained in the blog post about the possible long range strike on Iran’s nuclear program,  IRIAF interceptors, should play “hide and seek” with the enemy forces:  they could hide from the incoming packages and try to achieve some kills  during the egress phase. They could be effective by simply disturbing  the strike packages to let them “feel” the threat and waste some gas.

The Tomcats could somehow be effective against isolated targets, like  drones, mainly before or after the first waves of air strikes: even a  UAV kill could play a role in the psychological war against Israel.

For sure, radar activation would be reduced to a minimum: during the  most intense part of the air campaign their AWG-9 radar would be either  jammed (although it was domestically modified or locally upgraded to  make it more jamming-resistant) or detected as soon as switched on, with  the latter hypothesis implying the risk of interception by enemy  fighters. 

-The Aviationist

The 77-year-old received a two-and-a-half year sentence and has been disqualified from managing a company for nine years.

George had been working with a couple, Paul and Iris Attwater, who purchased used aircraft spare parts with dual-use — i.e., they could be used for both civilian and military aircraft — from the U.S.

They used their company, Pairs Aviation Limited, to avoid any suspicions.

According to “IRIAF 2010“, the book published by Harpia Publishing  and written by Tom Cooper, Babak Taghvace and Liam F. Devlin, that I  consider one of the most detailed sources about Iran’s Air Force, due to  the lack of some spare parts, the fleet of more than 40 Tomcats is  roughly divided into “airworthy” and “fully mission capable aircraft”.

The first fly without primary weapon systems and/or no AWG-9 radar;  the second can perform QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) and air defense  missions. 

-The Aviationist

The British couple, then, sent the components to George’s front companies, which then smuggled them into Iran.

The Attwaters received a suspended six-month prison sentence for their involvement — they pleaded guilty, and that probably saved them from a severer sentence.

For their involvement, they made an estimated $650,000 profit.

“These three sold banned items that ended up in Iran. They didn’t care what these parts might be used for, as long as they got paid,” Simon York, the leading investigator of HM Revenue and Customs.

“This was a calculated and cynical attempt to undermine strict trade embargoes and internationally agreed controls. They knew the rules and weaved increasingly elaborate plans to stay under the radar,” added York.

Hence, although IRIAF officials have described the current fleet of  F-14s as “completely overhauled” and “improved”, and referred to it a a  “new generation of bombers” in the recent past, only a small amount of  Tomcats can be used for air defense purposes in spite of the large  amount of spare parts that Iran was able to clandestinely collect after  the type was retired by the U.S. Navy and the efforts of various  domestic companies to produce some specific parts and subsystems. 

 -The Aviationist 

George, however, denied the allegations and claimed that he instead shipped wheelbarrows, goggles, and gloves for the construction industry.

Iran hasn’t been the only nation to try and circumvent international embargoes. Israel faced a similar conundrum back in the 1960s-1970s. The French government had imposed an arms embargo. Nonetheless, the Israeli government and the Israel Aerospace Industries worked with Dassault, a French aerospace company, to produce an Israeli variant of the Mirage 5 fighter jet. The jet proved a great success, accounting for more than 100 kills in the 1973 Yom Kippur war.

A comprehensive review of the dangers of ANY association with Google.

This stuff was all over the news a few months ago. Then, guess what? Life moved on. And people, being who they are, forgot the message.

People, please listen up.

A private company has taken on the role of the former East German Secret police, known as the Stasi . They have been implementing these cold war policies with the full blessings of the United States government, and it’s going to get far, far worse.

This private company is Google.

In an interview, Google whistleblower Zach Vorhies, advises against having any association with Google. He warns of their dangerous practices and comments that they have declared war on anyone who is not a progressive socialist. They expect everyone to cower away in silence. Their expectations are that their consumers be placid and as non-threatening as possible.

The Google World infographic created by Overdrive Interactive is a visual representation of Google’s projects, services, technologies, and companies acquired by Google. View the Google World or download it as a PDF with live links to over 200 assets.

Zach worked as a senior software engineer at both Google and YouTube for over eight years.

He has, and shares, his inside knowledge of his experiences and knowledge. He is convinced that Google and other software giants in silicon-valley possess a global monopoly. A monopoly that is both dangerous and evil. He also states that Google is not a reliable source of information any longer.

We should all heed his advice.

Google’s monopoly over search is mandated simply because of a continued reassurance that it is an unbiased search platform. Yet that is absolutely not true. Google is actively suppressing and censoring information. It is impossible to censor something and be unbiased at the same time.

Zach Vorheis has some things to say.

It’s pretty much well known, but the Untied States is owned by a handful of oligarchs. They utilize companies and manipulate the people in order to have them do their bidding. Thus, the point of sharing this information is that the largest mechanism for obtaining information in the world is terribly compromised.

Google is manipulating search results to influence our behavior. At the same time, denying this is happening.

The Wall Street Journal.

The Wall Street Journal published a a very thorough investigation covering these same points. As well as explaining the consequences of this behavior.

Disclosure of evil intent on Project Veritas

Zach Vorhies released about 950 pages of internal Google documents. These documents provide a comprehensive picture of what’s going on at the upper management within Google.

You can find all of thosedocuments on the Project Veritas website.1

They illustrate that Google has become corrupt, evil, political in nature and aligned with wealthy oligarchs who intend to use the platform to manipulate great masses of people. In order words, to use Google much the same way that “Over-seers” used to control plantation slaves.

What Happened to ‘Don’t Be Evil’?

Zach comments…

“Everything started out with Google really great,” Vorhies says.

“They had this mission statement of organizing the world’s information and making it universally accessible and useful. They also had this idea of ‘Don’t be evil.’ It was built right into their initial public offering (IPO) statements.

I thought at the time, ‘This is great. This is exactly the kind of company that the world needs. We need to organize all the world’s information and make it universally accessible. We need to let the algorithms decide what goes to the top and let the users decide what’s most useful for them and then make sure that other people are able to find that information.’

Google stayed true to those principles all the way up until 2016, until Donald Trump won the election.

For some reason, they decided they were going to throw all these mission statements away and go after the president of the United States, censor the internet and distort the news so that people’s searches could be redirected towards anti-presidential sentiment.

This eventually morphed into not just censorship of the president, but censorship of information related to health …

I realized [that] if this was allowed to continue, then this agenda of Big Pharma would be able to become … ‘the truth’ …

Once I found out that Google was censoring a lot of information, I started looking at the information it was censoring with a new degree of ‘They wouldn’t be censoring it unless it was true,’ sort of thing.

It’s a strange heuristic to use to figure out what’s true in the world, but you’ve just got to figure out what they’re censoring. You kind of understand that they’re censoring it because it’s not Big Tech-friendly. It’s not friendly to the established players.

Some ‘Fake News’ Isn’t so Fake After All

Shortly after Trump won the presidential election, you started hearing more and more about the scourge of “fake news.” Google, like Facebook and others, decided they had to protect users from fake news. The problem is, who determines what’s fake and what’s not?

Exactly. 

As Jordan Peterson said  in regards to hate speech: "Who is going to regulate it? Who is going  to define it? 

I know the answer to that - the last people in the world you would want to." 

Using Google’s internal search engine, Vorhies set out to determine what Google’s definition of fake news was.

He found several examples in a presentation.

However, in it were actual, verifiable real news events.

“I went, ‘Wait a minute. Is this about fake news or is this about controlling the narrative for like political purposes?'” Vorhies says.

He began collecting these documents because he knew they were explosive enough that Google would remove them if word ever got out about them.

In his continued search for real news presented as fake, he started unearthing other disturbing projects.

The main project responsible for Google censorship is a thing called ‘Machine Learning Fairness’ (ML Fairness).

As you imagine, they’re not going to call their censorship regime something bad. They’re going to call it something like ‘fairness.’

So, if you’re against that, you’re against fairness.

It’s a euphemism. I discovered there was this umbrella project, ‘ML Fairness,’ and there were these sub-components like ‘Project Purple Rain,’ which is a 24-hour response team that is monitoring the internet.

How Machine Learning Fairness Twists Perception of Reality

Just what is ML Fairness and how does it work? Vorhies explains:

Let’s say that this circle right here represents the entire spectrum of all possible artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. ML Fairness is a small part of that type of AI. It’s a relatively new type of AI. What machine learning does is it simulates brain neurons and how they fire.

If you remember how a brain neuron fires, it takes in as input signals from other neurons and then mixes those signals together and decides whether it wants to fire or not, based on the signals that it receives.

Well, these artificial neurons do something similar. They have a collection of inputs, depending on the internal rule set. It will fire depending on the inputs it gets … And then that output is used as input for further downstream processing.

If you have this collection of millions of simulated neurons … you can start to create very complex behavior that’s able to solve problems, like chess or the game Go …

It can classify hate speech. That’s the part that’s interesting to me — how this thing could be used to classify information across the internet.

ML Fairness is a type of AI that takes information on the internet, classifies it and then ranks it. And then the Google engine will figure out whether the information is fair or not. And if it is ‘fair,’ it goes to the top. If it’s not fair, then it gets pushed to the bottom. That’s what ML Fairness is in a nutshell.

What this manipulation ultimately ends up doing is presenting a twisted and false view of the world. What you’re seeing in your search results is what the AI algorithm decided is most fair — not what’s actually happening in the real world.

This is how you now end up getting automated search suggestions such as “men can have periods” and “men can have babies,” even though these are biological impossibilities. However, the algorithm deems the idea that only women can menstruate and bear children as “unfair” and basically “sexist,” and thus it’s pushing these ridiculous search suggestions to the top.

This obnoxious discrepancy is clear when using search terms like “men can …” The manipulation of reality will not be as transparent when using health or political search words, when you cannot be absolutely sure, ahead of time, about what the absolute truth is.

Did Google Conspire to Commit Treason?

Vorhies saw these changes starting to take place in early 2017.

Shortly afterwards, Google announced it was going to start assigning an “authoritativeness score” to all news content.

“I was able to see this ranking on internal documents. High rankings were given to outlets like The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal.

“These outlets, in my opinion, have been producing propaganda,” Vorhies says. “They led to us into war with Iraq with the weapons of mass destruction hoax. They’ve lied to us [about] Vietnam. They have a history of supporting every war and military encouragement around the world that has [led to] the destruction of millions of lives.”

In June 2017, chief executive officer of YouTube, Susan Wojcicki, announced that this was how they were going to filter news content across the YouTube platforms.

As Vorhies expected, this led to a clamp down on anything that goes against the mainstream narrative.

“Around that time, I had the fortune of catching [another] seditious activity by Google. What I caught them doing was deleting words out of the translation dictionary from Arabic to English, in order to make a Trump tweet sound crazy.2,3

President Trump had recently come back from a visit to Saudi Arabia when, on May 31, 2017, he tweeted: “Despite the negative constant press, covfefe.” Originally, people were able to translate “covfefe” to “We will stand up.” Taken together, you could see President Trump’s tweet basically said, “Despite the negative constant press, we will stand up.”

“People got really excited about that,” Vorhies says. “Well, The New York Times decided that they were going to write an entire article saying, ‘Actually, this word is nonsense. And everyone who thinks there’s a decode is just wrong.’

The same day that this article came out, I believe it was June 1, 2017, a senior executive person at Google … of one of the AI divisions, wrote up a design document saying, ‘We translated this world from Arabic to English.

But according to The New York Times, that’s not right. That’s actually nonsense, so let’s get rid of the word.’

And so, they got rid of the word.

The team that was responsible for getting rid of this word called themselves the ‘Derrida Team.’ Why is that significant? Because there was a French philosopher by the name of Jacques Derrida, who advocated for the destruction of Western culture through the manipulation and censorship of language.

What a coincidence that this team responsible for censoring words would have the same name as this very significant philosopher who is considered the father of post-modernism.

About six days later, I saw the newspapers were making a push for invoking the 25th Amendment to remove a sitting president from office due to mental incapacitation. One of the reasons that they cited was how Trump was tweeting nonsense.

Now, wait a minute, that was made nonsense by this manipulation of the dictionary! I realized these people have gone too far. There’s obviously a collusion here. I have to bring this to attention no matter what.

This isn’t because I’m necessarily a Trump supporter — I didn’t vote for him — this is simply because they can’t be doing this to a sitting president of the United States. That just can’t happen. It’s treason.

If this is going to happen, then I’ve got to let the public [and] law enforcement know about it. Because if I don’t, then I’m part of a conspiracy of silence … It was at that point that I decided I could no longer sit in silence. I took my cache of documents and I started to prepare for a disclosure event.”

Comment: Finally, an explanation for the infamous covfefe tweet'! It's insane that this word was actually a translation, yet it was used to paint Trump as insane. And the fact that, up until this insider document dump, 

NO ONE KNEW THIS.

YouTube Censorship Has Had Lethal Consequences

In 2018, the real-world ramifications of censorship hit home when an Iranian YouTube creator who had recently been demonetized marched into YouTube headquarters and opened fire on employees and then shot herself.4

“Her name was Nasim [Najafi Aghdam]. She had a video that went viral in Iran … She was creating really bizarre videos that were just — I don’t know — I watched them and I actually strangely loved them. I couldn’t stop watching them. They were so weird.

She decided that she was going to quit her job and become a full-time content creator, like millions of others … YouTube was the platform to do that. Everyone was getting a lot of subscribers and were trying to generate money, get monetized on the platform …

They would get a cut of the ads that were running when people interact with the ads or view them … What YouTube did is they made a blanket ban. Anyone under 10,000 subscribers got censored. By censorship, I mean demonetized. They lost all of the funding that they could get for their videos. They can still post videos, they just couldn’t get any money [from Google Ads] for it.

And so, this person had just lost her job. She felt she was being oppressed by YouTube. She drove all the way from San Diego, came to the YouTube headquarters on 901 Cherry Avenue … came into the lunch area patio, took out a handgun and started firing …

She shot a couple of people. Ran out of ammo, reloaded and shot some more and then [shot] herself in the chest and [bled] to death … Obviously, this person was mentally deranged but, also, she was triggered by Google’s censorship. Now I’ve got this very personal story about how censorship has affected my safety.

You would think that maybe YouTube would [rethink] its censorship, but no. They didn’t … Every day I would come into work and I would think, ‘You know, with this increase in censorship, is someone going to come in with a gun?'”

Google Attempts to Destroy Vorhies by ‘Lawfare’

Vorhies resigned from Google June 28, 2019, and was immediately put under investigation, as the company had logs showing the many documents he’d been searching for and reading through.

Vorhies tells the story of what happened next:

“When I went to Project Veritas, I went under anonymity. We only released two pages of the 950 that they had [been given]. My hope was that Google would leave me alone … But they decided they weren’t going to do that.

They decided they were going to attempt to financially destroy me by engaging in lawfare, which is warfare via the legal system.

Within a few weeks of me disclosing ML Fairness to Project Veritas, they sent me threatening letters, demanding access to all my data outside of work …

I wrote them back a letter admitting I had retained files, telling them I had given them to law enforcement … The NDA, the nondisclosure agreement I signed is nonenforceable in cases where the company is committing criminal activity. Sedition is criminal activity, which means that the NDA is null and void.

I can submit evidence of Google’s criminal activity to the government and to the media when the company is engaging in unlawful activity. That’s what I did. Also, I signed the NDA in good faith, believing that Google’s word of organizing the world’s information and making it universally accessible and useful and ‘Don’t be evil,’ were truthful statements …

I met an attorney who was representing Kevin Cernekee, another Google engineer who attempted to blow the whistle in the most legitimate way possible, which was to notify the Federal Labor Relations Authority in California. Kevin gave these papers to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).

Google responded by ambushing him with HR, seizing his laptop, seeing all the documents that he had downloaded, and then firing him and creating a legal theory that he had hacked into Google to get documents so that he could reconstruct Google’s legal strategy and maybe even sell it.

They applied criminal charges against him. They made him defend himself in court for his collection of evidence that he had sent to the NLRB. He’s [spent] $100,000 dollars of his own money defending himself from Google, so I knew what was in store for me.

[Cernekee’s] lawyer was like, ‘Yeah. This is the first step in a very painful process that’s going to drive on for years. They’re going to make it very expensive. Their goal is to destroy you.’ Well, in that case, I’m not going to fight in the legal law. I’m going to fight in the court of public opinion.

I decided at that point to come out to Project Veritas and disclose who I was so that I could get eyes [on me], and I said, ‘If Google’s going to take me down, then I’m going to leverage that so that everyone else can see what they do and what they’re really about. And then we can make Google’s censorship program part of the national discussion.’

I disclosed everything. I released it to the public, all 950 pages … August 17, 2019 … [I’ve] tried to become a cultural force so that we can hold Google to account of what they’re doing, because their censorship is wrong.

It’s wrong for America. It’s anti-American. Their election meddling is something that needs to be looked at, needs to be watched, because they’ve meddled with the elections in the past. They’re meddling in the elections now.

They were able to deactivate Tulsi Gabbard’s ad account directly following the Democratic debates.

They’ve meddled in the Ireland elections.

They’ve meddled in the Brazil elections.

We know this because there was a Supreme Court ruling that released the evidence showing they had a secret agreement with one of the politicians to generate dirt and boost it up on the current president of Brazil.”

How Autofill Can Shift Political Opinion

Vorhies goes on to explain and describe how Google tools such as autofill search recommendations can be used to sway public opinion on political (and other topics), which can have significant political consequences.

Autofill is what happens when you start typing a search query into a search engine and algorithms kick in to offer suggestions to complete your search. We’ve been led to believe that whatever the autofill recommendations are is what most people are in fact searching for — Google has stated that the suggestions given are generated by a collection of user data — but that’s not true, at least not anymore.

“This story about the autofill first got disclosed by Dr. Robert Epstein, who is a Harvard-trained psychologist and former editor-in-chief of Psychology Today,” Vorhies explains.

“What he said was that Google had flipped a bunch of votes for Hillary using this autosuggest feature. I’ve investigated this claim.

I’ve verified it to be true …

It turns out that a lot of the popular searches were being suppressed.

For example, you typed in ‘Clinton body count.’ It’s a popular search term. This brings up all the people who have died in the decades that were associated with Hillary Clinton.

Well, this search result has been deleted off the search suggestion. What’s happened instead is that a bunch of negative search terms have been inserted that went against the current president of the United States, Donald Trump.

So, when you’re typing in search queries for Trump, it’s autocompleting and suggesting, ‘Do you mean that he’s a liar? That he’s a crook?’ … And then you do the same for Hillary Clinton and it has all these positive terms … They were doing this on the political stuff.

The most significant thing about this feature is the fact that you don’t expect to have this part of your online experience to be hatched for political reasons. You think that this is legitimately what other people are searching for.

As a result, you don’t have your filters on. Your brain puts on these filters when it starts to evaluate politically charged information. When you read a newspaper article, you may be thinking to yourself, ‘This may be true, this may not.’ You’re skeptical.

But when you’re typing into a search, you don’t think that because you don’t think that’s rigged, so whatever bias is inherent in that search result slips through and goes directly into your subconscious. This is what Epstein was explaining.”

The Search Engine Manipulation Effect

Epstein developed a “black box test” (a method of software testing) to measure just how influential a tool like autofill can be. Remarkably, his test demonstrated that “Google’s ‘autocomplete’ search suggestions can turn a 50/50 split among undecided voters into a 90/10 split”5,6 — all without anyone being aware of the manipulation.

Similarly, when Epstein looked at the power of search engine manipulation to shift preferences and perceptions, he found that:7

“(1) biased search rankings can shift the voting preferences of undecided voters by 20% or more, (2) the shift can be much higher in some demographic groups, and (3) such rankings can be masked so that people show no awareness of the manipulation.”

The good news is, there are ways to lower this manipulation effect, but to do so, people have to be aware that biased ranking is taking place. In his 2017 paper, “Suppressing the Search Engine Manipulation Effect,” Epstein writes:8

“A recent series of experiments demonstrated that introducing ranking bias to election-related search engine results can have a strong and undetectable influence on the preferences of undecided voters.

This phenomenon, called the search engine manipulation effect (SEME), exerts influence largely through order effects that are enhanced in a digital context.

We present data from three new experiments involving 3,600 subjects in 39 countries in which we replicate SEME and test design interventions for suppressing the effect. In the replication, voting preferences shifted by 39.0%, a number almost identical to the shift found in a previously published experiment (37.1%).

Alerting users to the ranking bias reduced the shift to 22.1%, and more detailed alerts reduced it to 13.8%. Users’ browsing behaviors were also significantly altered by the alerts, with more clicks and time going to lower-ranked search results.

Although bias alerts were effective in suppressing SEME, we found that SEME could be completely eliminated only by alternating search results — in effect, with an equal-time rule.

We propose a browser extension capable of deploying bias alerts in real-time and speculate that SEME might be impacting a wide range of decision-making, not just voting, in which case search engines might need to be strictly regulated.”

As pointed out by Vorhies,

“We’ve got to watch out for Google, because … they’re going to try to rig the 2020 elections.”

Based on Epstein’s results, Google certainly appears to have the power to do so. The only way to prevent it may be an information campaign that exposes this hidden agenda, thereby helping to suppress this search engine manipulation effect.

Do a Google Detox

How can you prevent getting sucked into the false-reality vortex that is Google? Vorhies offers a number of suggestions for how to minimize Google’s influence over your life:

Stop using Google search. Options include DuckDuckGo9 and Startpage10

Stop using Gmail. ProtonMail,11 which provides end-to-end encryption and less spam, is an excellent option, and one which I use here.

Switch from an android phone (powered by Google) to an iPhone. (I use Chinese cell phones. 5G and unhackable by the NSA in America.)

Link

There are alternatives for most if not all Google products, and by using these other companies, we can help them grow so that Google becomes less and less relevant.

“Use iPhone, use DuckDuckGo and use Protonmail. Those three things will get most of Google out of your life,” Vorhies says.

“I’ve been a lot happier because of that. I know [Google is] able to read everything that I write when I’m on Gmail or I’m using one of their services. I’ve had people who want to interview me on YouTube, and then their YouTube pages get destroyed.”

  • Stop using Google docs (Digital Trends has published an article suggesting a number of alternatives12).
  • If you’re a high school student, do not convert the Google accounts you created as a student into any type of personal accounts.
  • Both the Chrome and Firefox browsers have been compromised by Google, so consider switching if you’re on either of those.
  • Brave is my personal favorite, but the Opera browser is another alternative.13
  • Vorhies is also a fan of Brave.

He says…

“The guy who created this browser, Brave … added features to eliminate all the ads. Now my MacBook runs like new.

I’ve got a 2012 MacBook. I thought I had to upgrade it in order to make it run fast. [Using] Brave instead, my computer operates five times faster when it opens a lot of browser tabs.

It’s phenomenal.

Not only do I get to Google detox, but I get a better experience by not using Google. It’s a no-brainer.

People should just use it. And all of the plug-ins I use, like LastPass, which contains all of my passwords, they all install.” Support Vorhies’ ‘Disclosure Tour’

In the interview, Vorhies recounts a long harrowing incident in which Google instructed local police to perform a mental wellness check on him. Pretty crazy stuff. Which eventually escalated into a full-blown evacuation of the entire street due to a fake bomb threat. Obviously a ruse, confabulated in an effort to get him out of his apartment.

Crazy stuff during crazy times.

He also discusses how Google’s censorship of things like holistic health and clean energy developments is actually evidence that a better future is ahead. The drug and oil industries are starting to lose their grip as safer, less expensive and more effective alternatives are gaining ground.

He argues that censorship is a last-ditch effort to hold on to a crumbling paradigm.

Raising Awareness of the dangers of Google

As Vorhies mentioned earlier, his primary focus right now is to raise awareness about Google and to create a cultural force for change.

You can follow Vorhies on Twitter. His handle is PerpetualManiac (Twitter.com/PerpetualManiac).

“If you click the follow button, you’ll be part of a collection of patriots who are looking to ensure the survival of the republic, to ensure sovereignty and to bring Google to account for the censorship they’re doing.

People are helping me raise awareness by retweeting the things I’m saying. Because honestly, I’m fighting giants,”

“If [Google is] going to take me down, then I’m just going to go down fighting. I’m going to leverage everything they do to further the great awakening that’s happening right now in the United States and across the world.”

“I’m doing that because, ultimately, I’m in service to a higher power … I believe this magnificent creative force in the universe wants people to be free. It’s up to us to ensure that the freedoms we enjoy are handed down to our children … our grandchildren and our collective future.”

Be the Rufus; more videos of personal heroism in China. Part 16.

More videos of personal heroism in China. This is part sixteen.

Here are some more videos of personal heroism. These videos all take place in China, and show examples of how average, normal, everyday people (or dogs and cats) can make a difference. When the calling strikes and an emergency occurs, will you be the one who turns their back, or will you run and offer help? Will you be the one who stays playing on the cell-phone, or will you lend a helping hand? Will you be the person who will make a difference in the lives of those around you, or are you just going to fade into the background.

Make a difference. Be like Rufus!

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.

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.

Video 1 – Boy helps man after being hit by a hit and run driver.

This is why China has cameras everywhere, and facial recognition. The hit and run driver was caught and tried and is doing hard time in a Chinese hard-labor prison. You do not hit a person and then speed off…

Video 2 – Girl being dragged forward on an escalator.

Big kudos to the hijab wearing woman that rushes to save her! Do not allow the inherent biases of the radicalized Muslim elements to color your views on everyone else. There are good people everywhere. Rufus’s abound. You just don’t know who they are.

Most times they don’t know either.

Video 3 – Taking a beating.

Sometimes we are our own heroes. We take the beatings of life… unfair, uncalled for, undeserving and we move onward. We continue and we push and we strive. Sometimes, being a hero… being a Rufus is to just keep being excellent when the entire rest of the work is pushing for you to give up.

Video 4 – Emergency run to the hospital.

When there is an emergency, the baby is sick and cannot breathe… what are you going to do? In this case we have a terrified mother and a baby with difficulty breathing. The child needs to go to the hospital immediately…

Video 5 – Allowing people to pass.

Being the best that we can be often means being helpful, kind and considerate of others. This can be helping a person, or doing more than that. What ever, you time on this planet, in this body is a short one. Make the most of it.

Be good and kind to others and don’t ever expect any kind of payback.

Video 6 – Being the Rufus.

Being the Rufus means being an everyday hero. It means being the best that you can be, helping others, and not being manipulated by the wealthy, the media or the powerful. It means doing things on your terms in your way.

Be the Rufus.

Video 7 – Young boy wants to meet his hero.

This is a cute video and shows that the players care about their fans. And yes, the kid did not need to interrupt the interview and the bodyguards shooed him away, the football player showed that he had heart and was supportive of his fans. He’s a true Rufus.

Video 8 – Not all heroes wear capes.

But what they do actually do is be the best that they can be. In every way, you must strive to be the best of who you are. Your rewards will be many. Check out this young girls writing ability.

Video 9 – Train track emergency.

Check out the Rufus that drops everything and comes to the rescue of this motorcycle rider who spilled right on top of the train tracks. He’s a real Rufus, that’s for sure!

Video 10 – Community.

We are all part of a community. You have your immediate family, then your friends, and then your local community. We need each other and that need is a a real and important one. Take care and embrace it.

Thank you for reading this.

God bless.

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come.

However, when it calls, you must take action. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus. Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

What High School taught me about Diversity.  Here we look at idea of "diversity" from the point of view of what it was like in my High School years. For my High School was fully and intentionally diverse. And at that time, there were two techniques of grouping people.  These techniques were by [1] merit, and [2] by random association. Or in other words; "diversity". Thus we can compare diversity against merit as the criteria used in a selection process.

Video 1 – Help an old lady cross the street.

Here is a video of a little old lady making her way across the street. The intersection is a six-way, and totally confusing to the pedestrian folk of all ages. SO she’s going her way, at her speed. The cars are zipping by. But you know what?

One guy stops for her. Then a motorcycle gets in front of the the other lane and stops the traffic there. And then again, yet another car takes the lead.

Rufus. We are everywhere!

Video 2 – Rescue a man from a train.

What in the world is this guy thinking? What could be so interesting on the railroad tracks? Well, what ever it is, he is totally and completely absorbed in it, and the train is coming at him with lightening speed. He’s only got seconds before he is squashed into jelly.

Lucky for him, a Rufus sees him…

Video 3 – Catch a thief.

Thief’s are able to rob people and get away with crimes because no one comes after them. But that is changing. In China, when you take down a criminal, you help someone, you give a person CPR, you will not be sued. The police won’t arrest you Berkley, California style, or sue you for saving their life. So people are permitted by law to be heroes.

And that means catching crooks…

Video 4 – Help take down a terrorist.

When a policeman is trying to take down a terrorist, innocent bystanders might want to assist. Here, we have a Uighur Muslim in Xinjiang, China wielding a knife and shouting “God is Great” while stabbing passers by. Unlucky for him the police and the locals won’t tolerate his nonsense.

Video 5 – Helping a homeless man.

This fellow helps a guy down on his luck. Or, maybe he is mentally disturbed, or has other issues. In any event, he tries to help him. He buys him food, and gives him the shirt off his back. He’s a real Rufus…

Video 6 – Standing for the National Anthem

You would NEVER see this in the United States, but it is common in the rest of the world. When the national anthem is played, everyone stops and faces the flag and gives it their undivided attention.

Personal pride, respect for your country, your community and your school is what defines our local relationships. Without it, we are just mindless cogs within a machine.

Video 7 – Businessman gets bad news.

It’s not only emotionally distraught young women that throw themselves infront of speeding trains, it can be men as well. Sometimes the news can be so overwhelming, so out of control, and so damning that we just (out of emotion) plunge ourselves into the dark abyss. Luckily for this fellow, Rufus was nearby to help.

Video 8 – New rescue technology.

This is pretty cool. I don’t know how effective it would be, as the motor and technology would have to be checked regularly, but it’s a useful application of inventive technologies and worthy of mention.

Video 9 – A cat saves a boy from a dog attack!

This is another favorite video. It’s exactly as it appears. A dog attacks a little boy, and a cat races to the rescue!

Video 10 – Man robs a woman in a bank and then changes his mind when he sees how little she has in her account.

This kind of thing has happened more than once in China, and I am at a loss to understand why. Maybe the Chinese have a understanding of things that are different than what you have in America.

Thank you for reading this.

God bless.

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come.

However, when it calls, you must take action. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus. Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

The history of how Australia obtained Sheilas; the story of The Lady Juliana, The 18th-Century Prison Ship Filled With Women.   This is the story of the Lady Juliana. This was a special ship designed to convey female convicts from England to Australia. The idea was that a boat load of female convicts would happily link up with a colony of convicts in Australia. Thus making everyone very, very happy, and reform the colony in New South Wales.

What High School taught me about Diversity.  Here we look at idea of "diversity" from the point of view of what it was like in my High School years. For my High School was fully and intentionally diverse. And at that time, there were two techniques of grouping people.  These techniques were by [1] merit, and [2] by random association. Or in other words; "diversity". Thus we can compare diversity against merit as the criteria used in a selection process.

Be the Rufus; more videos of personal heroism in China. Part 14.

More videos of personal heroism in China. This is part fourteen. This one has some of my favorites. The cat and the dog heroes really put a smile on my face.

Please watch those videos.

Here are some more videos of personal heroism. These videos all take place in China, and show examples of how average, normal, everyday people (or dogs and cats) can make a difference.

Will you be the person who will make a difference in the lives of those around you, or are you just going to fade into the background.

Make a difference. Be like Rufus!

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.

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.

Video 1 – Stranger saves an infant from getting run over!

So you are minding your own business. You turn around and there is a car heading straight for you at Indy-500 speeds. What’s more, there is a little infant standing in the way! What are you going to do?

You snap into action – that’s what! You become the Rufus and you rescue the child.

Video 2 – A crazed motorcyclist decides to go after a middle-school girl.

Being in China, you get to see some really strange events. One of which is apparent crazed violence from out the blue. I think that it is due to the Chinese nature; they keep all their emotions pent up inside of them for decades. Then, every now and then, something snaps and they just go berserk.

Here, we have a crazed fellow and he decides to go after some (normally) pretty harmless middle-school girls. Bad move guy. Bad move…

Video 3 – Rescuing a distraught young girl.

It can be really difficult growing up. You have the expectations of your parents, the trials of the school and the pains of growing up in a community of your peers. As a young girl, your emotions and hormones are raging and things don’t always go the way that you want. So you can get very sad, and even suicidal.

Here we have a concerned bystander getting a local policeman involved and he chats and helps the young girl.

Video 4 – Cat stops a toddler from falling off the edge of the porch.

This is one of my favorite videos.

You know, in China, every apartment has a porch. Some can be as high up as 60 floors high. And to make matters worse, young children and toddlers often climb out onto the porches and plunge to their deaths to the streets below. It doesn’t matter if it is on third floor or the sixtieth floor. A fall would be fatal.

This cat knows this, and will absolute not allow the toddler to go anywhere near the edge of the porch. No way!

Video 5 – Girl on crutches carried by a stranger.

China can be rude sometime. There are rude people everywhere, and insensitive people. There are sociopaths, and psychopaths and they exist in every society. They are all bad people.

Here we have a girl on crutches and a rude driver.

Luckily we have a Rufus nearby that that carry the girl to safety…

Video 6 – Car intentionally hits another car to save a life.

Another favorite video.

Watch it carefully. This car is going to run over some people crossing the street. It’s a mother with two small children. The car, were it to hit them would most certainly result in deaths and damage.

Yet…

Yet.. another car sees this. He “floors it” and rams the other car. Preventing it from hitting the family.

A true Rufus Hero!

Video 7 – Three workers rescue a girl.

It’s late at night. Two thugs try to accost a pretty girl alone in a park. Hey! China is not New York City! People do not stand for that kind of unhealthy evil behavior.

Watch what the workers sitting on the bench do.

Video 8 – Dog defends his master.

So here is a burglary inside a home. The burglar does not expect anyone to be home, but suddenly a 20-something girl in a bathrobe comes out. Shes wearing nothing except a robe. He quickly decides to go after her, and some bad things could result.

Luckily she has a live-in Rufus to protect her!

Video 9 – Rescue of a child in the water.

Some things define explanation. Who knows why this young kid decided to jump into the water? But he did, and panic ensues. What will happen to him? What do you think?

Video 10 – Helping others.

You don’t need to save lives to make a difference. Just being helpful and kind is all that is required.

Today, just say a kind word to someone. Tell that girl that she looks good. Complement someone on their outfit. Buy someone a cup of coffee at work, Pay it forward at a parking meter or a toll booth.

Make a difference.

It’s the way of the Rufus.

Thank you for reading this.

God bless.

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come.

However, when it calls, you must take action. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus. Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

Video 1 – Chasing down a hit and run driver.

Here we have two drivers that witness a hit and run accident. They chase after the guy, and run him down. Then call the police. Be the Rufus. It is our highest calling.

Video 2 – The dangers of being a fireman.

I strongly believe that we are not giving firemen the credit they deserve. It is their job to plunge head-first into danger. They do so even though it means that their own life is on the line. Be the Rufus.

Video 3 – Returning a woman’s purse.

Just be good. Do good deeds. Help people in need. Support others and be kind. It’s not about greed, or climbing the social ladder. It’s all about being true to our inner convictions.

Video 4 – Elementary students help an old lady.

Yup. Even children can be the Rufus. Do good. Help others. It’s a human calling.

Video 5 – Old lady collapses on the street.

There are a lot of old people in China. There are! The often reported statistic that the average longevity of Chinese is 60 years old is sorely, woefully, and terribly out of date. Most Chinese men and women today live into their late 80’s and 90’s. (Well, officially it is in their late 70’s. But here in the Macao / Hong Kong area, it is much, much higher.)

As such, they move about. The walk around… but not so well. Being in your sunset years isn’t a walk in the park, don’t you know.

What do you do when one of these elders collapse in front of you? You be the Rufus.

Video 6 – Nurses spring into action.

Rufus is not gender dependent. It is not race or species dependent, either. Here we have a nimble nurse doing what ever it takes to rescue man in distress.

Be the Rufus.

Video 7 – Rescue a drowning man.

Don’t just stand there and point. The real Rufus springs into action. He does what ever it takes. He’s not afraid. Not at all. He takes the leap… on faith… without thinking.

Are YOU up for the calling?

Video 8 – Stranger saves a man simply.

Sometimes we are guided by the supernatural. We all have a guardian angel and yes, they can materialize and help us out…

Video 9 – Young men clear the way for an ambulance.

Traffic can get really terrible in China. What are you to do when there is an ambulance in need, and grid-lock for miles? You be the Rufus, that’s what! You go car to car. Knocking on windows as you go. You get people to move out of the way.

You do it Rufus-style.

Video 10 – Rufus springs into action.

Sometimes you are just minding your own business, walking down the road, and you confront a crisis situation. You just don’t have seconds. You must react then and there. Lives are at stake! Are you up for the challenge?

Be the Rufus.

Thank you for reading this.

God bless.

Make a difference. Be like Rufus!

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.

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.

Video 1 – Police take down a dangerous man.

This is the kind of things that policemen are trained for. But, I’ll tell you what, if no police are around, it will be up to you to step in and save the woman. Would you be up for it?

Video 2 – Man hanging off the side of a bridge.

So here is a man that is hanging off the side of a very, very tall highway bridge. Why is he there? What is going on? He’s got to be either crazy or in distress. What are you going to do?

Video 3 – Capture a purse thief.

Purse thief’s and purse snatchers used to be very common in China. Today, with all the video surveillance, it has pretty much eradicated the crime. But, not completely. These criminals know where all the blind spots are. They have mapped them out, don’t you know.

However, outside of the blind sots you can sometimes observe people chasing after them on foot. As in this video.

Video 4 – Lost little boy.

Here’s a young boy. He’s lost. Terribly lost and he needs help. Lucky for him that there is a police man nearby and he know that when he is in trouble to turn to the police for help. And thus…

Video 5 – Passed out from exhaustion.

The work of a fireman is very difficult. They take every ounce of energy that they have to just keep going. Then, when they are back at the station, they can relax and release…

Video 6 – Produce driver lends a helping hand.

Heroes come in all forms. Even if all you are doing is transporting sugarcane to the processing factory, or shrubbery to a new housing development, you can lend a hand. Such as this fellow does…

Video 7 – Kitten training to be a good mouser.

In functional societies every one does their part. In traditional conservative societies, like communist China, everyone has a role.

The two family types and how they work.

Here, we have a young kitten learning to be a good mouser. This what I call “on the job training”…

To understand the concept of family roles within society, the link above, and this one below (they open up in a separate tab) would be able to help a lot…

How to manage a family household.

Video 8 – Don’t jump, girl!

Saving others. It’s the way of the Rufus.

Video 9 – Help the ambulance get on its way.

This is common in the USA where it is the law!

It isn’t elsewhere in the world. In China there aren’t laws all over the place telling you what you can or cannot do; what you should do or should not do.

To learn more (opens up in a separate tab)…

Freedom & Liberty in China

Anyways, in China, all citizens are expected to do their part to make society better.

Be the Rufus. Not because you are obligated though the force of law, but because that is who you are. Be the Rufus.

Video 10 – Fire alarm!

Whether you are in the USA, Australia, Canada, Russia or China the situation is the same. When your name is called, you leap into action!

Thank you for reading this.

God bless.

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come.

However, when it calls, you must take action. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus. Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

The history of how Australia obtained Sheilas; the story of The Lady Juliana, The 18th-Century Prison Ship Filled With Women.   This is the story of the Lady Juliana. This was a special ship designed to convey female convicts from England to Australia. The idea was that a boat load of female convicts would happily link up with a colony of convicts in Australia. Thus making everyone very, very happy, and reform the colony in New South Wales.

What High School taught me about Diversity.  Here we look at idea of "diversity" from the point of view of what it was like in my High School years. For my High School was fully and intentionally diverse. And at that time, there were two techniques of grouping people.  These techniques were by [1] merit, and [2] by random association. Or in other words; "diversity". Thus we can compare diversity against merit as the criteria used in a selection process.

Video 1 – Baby left inside a locked car.

So, you are walking down the street and you hear a baby crying. You look inside a parked car nearby and you see that there is a baby locked inside. It is crying and you are worried. What are you going to do?

Pretend nothing is going on?

Or will you be the Rufus and spring into action?

Video 2 – Young child hops on a farm truck and takes it for a spin…

Except that he’s not so good at driving and crashes it right into a bridge. If you watched this, what would you do? Why, if it were me, I’d spring into Rufus mode…

Video 3 – Child falls into a pond and is drowning.

You hear screams and cries. You look over the railing and there is a small boy flailing his arms trying to keep his head above the water. What are you going to do? Call the police? Call the fire department? Or, as in this case, you kick off your shoes and go in and save the child.

You be the Rufus!

Video 4 – Small boy wants to meet his football hero.

Ok, so the bodyguards chase him away. No big deal. Famous people always have to deal with adoration of the mobs. But not this time. The football player (Soccer player, in American English) calls the boy over and chats with him a spell and sends him on his way.

Video 5 – Granny is trapped in the ice and is fading fast.

That’s right. It’s not just little children that can get into trouble. Somehow this grandmother fell through the ice and is having a dickens of time getting out. You can tell that she is fading fast and cannot move her arms very well. Who knows how long she has been in there? But you are the only one available in this small rural community. You need to save her and you need to act fast. Are you up to it?

Video 6 – Car hits a mother with her son.

Not only that, but you have to deal with a furious little boy. What are you going to do, and how are you going to handle it?

Video 7 – Husband helps his pregnant wife.

Been there done that. Yup, this is China, and this is the kind of things that a husband will do for his wife heavy in pregnancy.

Video 8 – Bridge rescue.

Flood waters have carried a man off and down river. He’s a goner for certain. Yet, there is a bridge across the river. Maybe if everyone rushes to the bridge they can save him. And that is what happens, the entire town rushes there…

Video 9 – Being the good guy.

You know, giving your seat, or place in line for the needy is a good thing to do. It’s a Rufus kind of thing. It shows character, worth and value. Be the Rufus.

Video 10 – A Tribute to the workers of the world.

Not every job is 9 to 5, sit within a cubicle, and stare at a computer screen of spreadsheets and emails. There are people who actually perform dangerous tasks daily. They risk their lives every single day, and no one notices or cares.

Here’s a tribute to them.

Oh, by the way, this first video of the man in the steel mill was a job that I actually did. It is hot, hot work and terribly exhausting.

Thank you for reading this.

God bless.

Be the Rufus; more stories of personal heroism in China. Part 10.

More stories of personal heroism in China. This is part ten.

Here are some more videos of personal heroism. These videos all take place in China, and show examples of how average, normal, everyday people (or dogs and cats) can make a difference. When the calling strikes and an emergency occurs, will you be the one who turns their back, or will you run and offer help? Will you be the one who stays playing on the cell-phone, or will you lend a helping hand? Will you be the person who will make a difference in the lives of those around you, or are you just going to fade into the background.

Make a difference. Be like Rufus!

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.

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.

Video 1 – Bus driver stops and offers emergency side help.

Here we have an emergency and the bus driver stops and diverts his route to help…

Video 2 – Old man carried to safety.

Here we have Rufus helping a old man to safety off the road. Notice how everyone else is just driving by and ignoring the old man. Yet, this guy stops his car and goes forth and helps him.

Video 3 – Police carry sick person to the ambulance.

Here, the police have a man in distress. They pick him up. Carry him to the ambulance and get him to a hospital stat! This is how a functioning community works. It’s not “us vs. them” for political expediency. It’s about helping each other for the general good.

Video 4 – DD driver has passenger with a seizure.

DD is the Chinese version of Uber. Here, the passenger starts to have a seizure right there and then, the driver pulls over to the police to get him immediate medical attention.

Video 5 – Police kindly relocate an old man selling vegetables.

China has zoning restrictions. You just cannot go selling things just about anywhere you want.

Here we have an old man that is trying to sell some vegetables for some small change. The police tell him that he cannot sell there, and then politely and nicely pack him up and move him to a place where he can sell his goods. It’s all about HOW you handle things.

This would never happen in the USA. The old man would be jailed, if not shot outright.

Video 6 – Rescue of a man drowning.

Here’s a rescue of a man in distress in the water.

Video 7 – Everyone pitches in.

Well, this truck got into an accident and is blocking the road. What’s a people to do? Well, they all stop the traffic, get out of their cars and go forth and right the truck so that it can get out of the way and life could continue on as normal. Community… an important aspect of the human condition.

Video 8 – Keeping our community clean.

Speaking of community. Here’s a gal and a guy righting up a trash can and trying to keep their streets clean and safe. You see, if everyone does this the entire community benefits and people can live their lives in health and happiness.

Video 9 – Passenger steers the bus while driver has a seizure.

People get sick. And, in this case, the bus driver is having some kind of a seizure while he is driving. Lucky for him a passenger takes the wheel and guides the bus to the side to the road.

Video 10 – Sometimes all that you can do is pray.

Life can be hard. It can be sad.

And sometimes…

Sometimes…

All you can do is pray.

Thank you for reading this.

God bless.

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come.

However, when it calls, you must take action. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus. Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

What High School taught me about Diversity.  Here we look at idea of "diversity" from the point of view of what it was like in my High School years. For my High School was fully and intentionally diverse. And at that time, there were two techniques of grouping people.  These techniques were by [1] merit, and [2] by random association. Or in other words; "diversity". Thus we can compare diversity against merit as the criteria used in a selection process.

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.

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.

Video 1 – Save the little kitten.

Kittens and little children (and puppies) don’t know the dangers of roads. Plus, the drivers often cannot see the little critter and thus it can be quite dangerous for them. Here we have a Rufus stopping a truck so that the kitten can be saved…

Video 2 – Young boy returns a wallet.

Rufus comes in all ages, races, sizes and dispositions. Here we have a little boy returning a wallet. Well, he’s trying to, at least. He’s a good boy, and I would be proud of him were he to be my son…

Video 3 – A split second to save a girl.

Sometimes, you react without even thinking. You just reach out and save someone from a terrible accident…

Video 4 – Rescue from the ice.

Here is one of the most terrifying of rescues; trapped in the ice. When I grew up in Western Pennsylvania, there were many of my classmates that died from walking on an ice-frozen river and fell through the thin ice. It’s not just that the water is cold, but that you can easily sink down and get trapped under the ice with no way to break out.

Here we see Rufus running to the rescue.

Video 5 – Rescue from drowning.

But it’s not just the water and ice. Even int he middle of the summer people can get hurt in and around the water. I well remember on Cape Cod where people would just be standing in ankle deep water and a wave would crash over them, and a under-tow rip-tide would wash them out to sea.

Dangerous and horrifying.

Video 6 – Stop the car and get that pickpocketer.

What would you do if you were in a car driving along and see someone committing a crime? Would you stop and help the person being stolen from or would you ignore it and just keep walking… NY city style? What would you do?

Video 7 – Giving birth in the hospital lobby.

OK, so you are pregnant, and you start going into labor. You hop into the car and you make it to the hospital, but uh-oh… it’s too late the baby is coming out right there and then! Yikes!

What do you do?

Video 8 – Here’s to all the workers that take shit with a smile.

This is a tribute to all the workers who take shit as part of their job. You are not alone, many of us has had the exact same situation.

Video 9 – Bus driver emergency detour to the hospital.

Here’s a bus driver that sees and emergency and then takes a detour from his regular bus route to save someone. Be the Rufus. Even if it might cost you your job.

Video 10 – Help with an overturned wheelchair.

Talk about bad luck. This poor sap is stranded in the middle of a busy intersection and is unable to do anything. Would you go forth and help him?

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come.

However, when it calls, you must take action. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus. Make a difference.

Help others. It’s our highest calling.

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.

Video 1 – Dog saves a little girl.

A dog is man’s best friend. Well, also little girls as well…

Video 2 – You can be the first responder.

When things go wrong what are you going to do? Call the police? Wait a half an hour until help arrives, or will you be the Rufus?

Video 3 – High stakes save in an apartment building.

This little tyke in his terrible twos (obviously) thought that it was a good idea to climb over the railing in his high rise apartment. Lucky for him, that a number of Rufus’s were nearby to come to his aide.

Video 4 – Young driver going the wrong way on a busy road.

Well, you have to give the kid credit. He’s not going to wait around and learn how to drive in school. He’ll just go out on his own and make his own way in the world. And so he does… just about breaking every rule in the book and being a danger to himself and others.

Lucky there is a policeman nearby.

Video 5 – Rescue of a man in a wheelchair.

This crazy guy tries to take his wheelchair down an escalator. Oh my goodness! Well, it doesn’t work out well and everything falls apart rather quickly.

Lucky for him that Rufus was nearby…

Video 6 – Preventing a train accident.

Of all the places to break down… why does it have to be on top of railroad tracks? Well, that’s the kind of thing that happens from time to time and when that happens, it’s pretty much “curtains” for you and your vehicle. But in this case, he was lucky. Rufus was nearby…

Video 7 – Tribute to firemen.

Here’s a tribute to firemen. Whether you are in China or the Untied States, Africa or Russia, the firemen are always there to help you, save lives and risk their own for the betterment of society. They are all the RUFUS.

Video 8 – Emergency Police ride to the hospital.

Emergencies happen when you are least expecting them. And when you need help you run to the people that can help. Here, in China, it is often a motorcycle police officer. In this case the infant needs to be rushed to the hospital. There is no delay, when the calling shouts at you…

…you take action…

Video 9 – Police helps and old man.

This old fellow needs to cross six lanes of a typical city highway. Yet he is slow and pokey as can be. I’ve seen snails and turtles go faster. Yet, no one helps him. That is until a police man steps in and offers a helping hand.

Video 10 – Rufus cleans up the street.

You do not need to rescue people, or fight fires to make a difference. You just need to be helpful, positive and good. Smiling helps as does doing your own very small part int he community. Take the leap and just make the world a little bit nicer for you, your family and the community that you are a part of.

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come. However, when it calls, you must take action.

It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death.

Be the Rufus.

Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

What High School taught me about Diversity.  Here we look at idea of "diversity" from the point of view of what it was like in my High School years. For my High School was fully and intentionally diverse. And at that time, there were two techniques of grouping people.  These techniques were by [1] merit, and [2] by random association. Or in other words; "diversity". Thus we can compare diversity against merit as the criteria used in a selection process.

Here are some more videos of personal heroism. These videos all take place in China, and show examples of how average, normal, everyday people (or dogs and cats) can make a difference. When the calling strikes and an emergency occurs, will you be the one who turns their back, or will you run and offer help? Will you be the one who stays playing on the cell-phone, or will you lend a helping hand? Will you be the person who will make a difference in the lives of those around you, or are you just going to fade into the background.

Make a difference. Be like Rufus!

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.

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.

Video 1 – Baby trapped under an oven.

Here we have a rural area. It’s a poor home, and the mother is hysterical. The toddler has somehow crawled under a lit blazing hot coal-fired stove and is trapped. Unless they can get him out, he will be roasted alive.

Seconds count.

What would you do? Would YOU be the Rufus and help him?

Video 2 – Emergency CPR by a stranger on the street.

It happens. You are minding your own business and suddenly you find yourself trying to help someone that has collapsed right in front of you. What are you going to do? What can you do?

You do everything that you can.

That’s the way of the Rufus.

Video 3 – Stranger gives a ride to the hospital.

There’s a hysterical woman ont he side of the road. She’s waving you down. SO you stop and ask what is going on.

She needs help and an emergency ride to the nearest ER for emergency medical assistance. What would you do? Would you say “no, no”, or would you help her and take her to the hospital?

Video 4 – Food delivery man has a limp. Hospital staff run out to give him free treatment.

Sometimes you don’t need to be in the middle of an emergency event ot be the Rufus. You just help those around you.

Here is a delivery man. This is common in China where everyone has food delivered to them via the many phone APPS in China. IN this case, the food delivery guy has a limp. And he carries the food and delivers the food to a guy (or gal, I don’t know which) in the hospital.

Well, the nurses notice that he has a limp.

So they run out after him, and they take him in and take a look at him. They patch him up. Give him some free care and some free medicine and set him on his way.

Rufus. Men and women doing their part to make the world a better place.

Video 5 – Rescue of a drowning victim.

When someone is in the pond and in distress, what will you do? Would you rescue them on the sport, or would you call the police and wait by silently? It’s you; be the Rufus or not.

Video 6 – Saving a man from getting hit.

Heroes come in all sorts of sizes and packages. Mostly, it’s a matter of reacting without thinking to dangerous situations that occur around us. Be the Rufus and help others.

Video 7 – Fish delivery truck helps put out a fire.

OK, well there is a vehicle on fire. The police need help putting it out, and the fire trucks are stalled in traffic. No worries, though. You have a Rufus driving by with a load of fresh fish.

The hero uses the water that the fish are staying in and being transported in to help ut out the fire. Event though it might result int he lost of his day’s profits.

The Rufus.

Video 8 – Saving a person that is in distress.

When things go wrong you must take action immediately. There just isn’t any time to waste. You must react then and there or not…

Video 9 – Woman trying to kidnap a child.

Evil people are all around us. Often they do not look evil. They just look like an auntie, or a bland stranger. Here, we see an auntie try to steal a young child out from under the noses of her mother in a clothing shop.

Video 10 – Saving a child from a crazy man.

Sometimes you have to get hurt saving people. While all the other people run away, the child is begging for you to help her. She is looking at you, and begging for YOU to save her. What would you do. What would YOU do?

He has a knife and a hammer and he is belligerent as all fuck. What would you do?

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come. However, when it calls, you must take action. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death.

Be the Rufus.

Make a difference.

Help others. It’s our highest calling.

This was a special ship designed to convey female convicts from England to Australia. The idea was that a boat load of female convicts would happily link up with a colony of convicts in Australia. Thus making everyone very, very happy, and reform the colony in New South Wales.

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.

Video 1 – Children makes some emergency road work.

Well, some kids are walking along and spot a hole in the middle of the road. Would they walk on by? Would they hurry on home from school and say nothing? Or, perhaps, they would try to be the Rufus. Maybe they would place some warnings so that others won’t fall into the hole.

They would be the Rufus.

Video 2 – Dog rescues a lost kitten.

True story. This little kitten is alone, and cannot find it’s mother. However, it sees a big dog, and so it follows it. The dog knows that it is following him. So he leads the kitten on. He helps it up the stairs, and into the house. He’s a real Rufus dog.

Video 3 – Emergency care in the hospital lobby.

Yes, we know that the hospitals are there to help us get well. But what if… what if… you just make it barely in time? What if you are so sick that you cannot make the ER or ICU? What then?

Well, surgery and emergency procedures will need to take place in the most inconvenient places.

Video 4 – HK citizens capture and hold a “pro-democracy” protestor for the police.

Most people in America have no idea just how unpopular the terrorists are in HK. They are called “pro democracy” liberators by the American press, but that’s just propaganda because the entire movement is funded by the CIA managed NED. It’s part of a much larger global politics gambit.

Hong Kong and the NED CIA operations.

Anyways, the regular day to day HK citizens absolutely do not like these kids setting fire to buildings, destroying malls, subways, and setting people on fire and hitting people on the head and killing them…

… here’s some people on the way to work that snagged one of those “protestors” who was bounding a Mainland Chinese person to a pole. The bystanders, stopped him. They unmasked him, and called the police to take him away.

You would never see this kind of thing in the United States. Americans have been accustomed to take the “shit” from the BLM and Antifa terrorists. The police just stand by watching, and if anyone reacts to the terrorists, the police arrest THEM instead.

In China, a traditional conservative nation, they just do not tolerate young thugs.

Video 5 – HK Citizens chase away a gang of “pro-democracy” protestors from blocking a major road.

Here’s another video. Some of these “protestors” are trying to block traffic, causing the delay of people going to work during rush hour. The HK citizens aren’t having any of that. They stop their actions and chase them away…

This is who is funding the Hong Kong protests, and no, they are not organic.  Here we look at the protests in Hong Kong and who is funding and training them. For they are using sophisticated urban combat techniques, as well as creating very sophisticated bombs, and handmade weapons. Obviously, some agent wants this group to cause damage and trouble in Hong Kong.

Rufus prevents events from spiraling out of control.

Video 6 – HK police give fair warning to some “pro democracy” protestors that are starting to organize before a riot.

During riots, the NED set up stockpiles of gas masks, weapons, and set up communication points. But, don’t you know, all communication is monitored by the police, and so they know who is behind all this and who is sponsoring the event. So the police come out and offer fair warning to the organizers and participants.

Fair warning.

The US involvement in the HK "Democracy Now" movement.

Again, you would never see this in the United States. The police would shoot first and ask questions later. And, people (!) you know this is true.

The Rufus gives fair warning and avoids violence.

Fair warning results in less casualties.
Fair warning results in less casualties. Meme from the Hong Kong concerning American support for “pro democracy” terrorists.

Video 7 – Local citizens stop a mugger.

If you are driving along, and you see someone rob or steal, what would you do? Pretend nothing happened? Ignore the event? Or, would you take matters in your own hands, stop the car… get out and stop the crime?

Be the Rufus.

Video 8 – Stranger gives CPR to delivery man in distress.

When someone is in trouble, would you drop everything and come to their aide, or would you pretend that it’s none of your business? Be the Rufus. Make a difference.

Video 9 – Bus driver secures the safety of his passengers before he collapses.

Here’s a bus driver. He is having a problem. Maybe a stroke. Maybe a heart attack. Something. What ever, he pulls off to the side of the road. He tells everyone to get out, and then exits and collapses right there on the pavement.

He put the lives of others before himself. He was the Rufus.

Video 10 – Subway doors trap a girl like a vise.

In general, Chinese subways are new, modern and state of the art. As such, they are very safe. Yet, like everything else, things and accidents happen and often it is an unfortunate person who wasn’t expecting anything that gets caught up and trapped in a bad situation.

Like this…

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come. However, when it calls, you must take action.

It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive.

However, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus. Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

Be the Rufus; more stories of personal heroism in China. Part 5.

More stories of personal heroism in China. This is part five.

I have just posted parts 3 and 4 and almost immediately were besieged by a few trolls that thought that I was "unpatriotic" because all the videos are from China. 

Well, the videos are from China because that is where I live, and that is what I have. 

If you are in the United States and have USA videos that are not copyright protected, then you can certainly go ahead and post those ones. Please do so. 

I would welcome them, and so would the rest of the world. We need to see that there are good people all over the world!

People! There are good people all over the world. And you, yes YOU! are one of them!

Here are some more videos of personal heroism. These videos all take place in China, and show examples of how average, normal, everyday people (or dogs and cats) can make a difference. When the calling strikes and an emergency occurs, will you be the one who turns their back, or will you run and offer help? Will you be the one who stays playing on the cell-phone, or will you lend a helping hand? Will you be the person who will make a difference in the lives of those around you, or are you just going to fade into the background.

Make a difference. Be like Rufus!

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.

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.

Video 1 – Child stuck while egressing from a window in a residential apartment.

There are a reason why there are bars on the windows in many Chinese houses. It is to keep the young children from climbing out the window and plunging down 10+ stories to their deaths. Never the less, the children don’t really understand fear, and pain and death. They don’t know, and they can really get into trouble if not attended to.

Here, we have a small boy that tried to climb outside of his barred window, and luckily got stuck, instead of plunging to his death.

What would you do if you witnessed this? Would you walk by? Play on your cell phone, or wait for the police? Or would you be the Rufus?

Video 2 – Dog defends a woman from a mugger.

Here’s a local village dog. Minding his own business. Probably doesn’t know this woman at all. He’s just going about his way, smelling things, eating trash and prowling for other dogs to play with. Then suddenly he sees another woman being mugged.

What does he do?

Watch…

Video 3 – 14 year old boy saves an infant.

Being a hero can happen at any time to any one. It might be big and important or not. You might be ready or not. You might know what to do or not.

Here we have a 14 year old boy who volunteers to save a tiny baby stuck in a very tiny hole in the ground…

Video 4 – Accident in front of a police station.

Accidents are terrible things. People die. Or you could get wounded in a way that your life is forever changed. Well, what happens when you smash up in front of a police station…?

Video 5 – Cleaning up after protestors wreck the street.

Everyone in the Western news knows about the “pro democracy” protests. They want “freedom” from China. Except that is not at all true. They are protesting because their future prospects are collapsing by a handful of super-wealthy people that own all the property in HK, and are slowly turning into serfs. It’s a legacy of Britain, and China has inherited it.

Anyways…

Most people deeply resent the protestors, and view HK as their home, where they live, and where their friends and families live. They do not want it destroyed by some teenage punks. So they help clean things up and set things right.

Like this businessman…

Video 6 – Rescue of a baby that rolled on to the train tracks.

This is like one of those old Hannah-Barbara cartoons turned into a real-life nightmare! A baby in a stroller rolls off the train station and onto the tracks where a High-Speed Train is fast approaching. You only have seconds. What would you do?

You’d be the Rufus.

Video 7 – Rescue of a girl being mugged.

China is a very safe nation. One of the reasons for this is that the people are empowered to take action. They will never worry about being sued by some high-priced lawyer for helping someone, or risk arrest because they broke some obscure law.

Here we see a girl getting mugged, and a businessman, who takes action!

BE . THE . RUFUS !

Video 8 – Woman tackles a dog that decides to attack a small child.

No dog is going to attack any child in my town, I’ll tell you what. It is unacceptable behavior and whether or not you love that rottweiler is of no consequence when the well-being of a child is of concern…

Video 9 – Woman collapses in a parking lot.

When someone is in distress, what do you do? Would you stare into your cell phone and keep walking? Would you pretend not to notice? Would you worry what your boss would say when you arrive to work late?

You be the Rufus.

Video 10 – Guy falls out of a window and needs immediate rescue.

It’s not just children that fall out of windows, it can be adults as well. We do not know what the story is here, but obviously the fellow is in distress and needs immediate assistance.

Good thing that Rufus is around.

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come. However, when it call, you must take action. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus. Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

This was a special ship designed to convey female convicts from England to Australia. The idea was that a boat load of female convicts would happily link up with a colony of convicts in Australia. Thus making everyone very, very happy, and reform the colony in New South Wales.

What High School taught me about Diversity.  Here we look at idea of "diversity" from the point of view of what it was like in my High School years. For my High School was fully and intentionally diverse. And at that time, there were two techniques of grouping people.  These techniques were by [1] merit, and [2] by random association. Or in other words; "diversity". Thus we can compare diversity against merit as the criteria used in a selection process.

Video 1 – Child collapses on the train.

What would you do if your child isn’t feeling well. He has a fever, and suddenly he collapses, on the train. He has zero life signs and it looks like he is dying right before your eyes. What would you do?

What would a father do?

Be the Rufus. You run over and you save the baby!

Video 2 – Child falls between the tracks.

Children can get into all kinds of trouble, and often we might not even notice what is going on until it is too late. We need to act quickly and offer and lend our support. We need to do this. Lives are at stake!

Be the Rufus!

Video 3 – Daughter misses her daddy.

Do not think that you are never appreciated. Your family and your children need you more than you realize. Their feelings and their emotions are real. When you are gone, on a business trip or for other reasons, they will miss you. It will hurt, and you will need to show them that you care and love them very much.

Video 4 – Help on the stairways

China is a nation of escalators. Millions of people use them daily. Since they are so often used, it is normal to see accidents and problems around them. So what would you do if you notice some people having trouble on top of a moving mechanical contrivance? What would you do?

Video 5 – Help on the stairways – 2

Helping someone might be the last thing on your mind. But suddenly, you look up, and people are screaming. They are terrified, and things have gone wrong, terribly, terribly wrong. The only one nearby is you. You and you alone. What would you do?

Be the Rufus.

Video 6 – Help on the stairways – 3

Here we have a problem on the stairs. A man who is disabled cannot use the stairs himself and collapses. What can you do?

You be the Rufus.

Video 7 – Taxi driver speeds a child to the hospital.

You’ve got to rush the baby to the hospital. Here, a normal taxi driver got more than what he planned for. A hysterical mother cradles her baby and they must rush the child to the emergency room in the hospital. Did he ask for specifics? The hospital, etc. Nope. He went into emergency Rufus mode…

Video 8 – Taking down purse snatchers.

Purse snatching is a problem in some parts of the world, and can be a potential problem in rural China.

Here we see what happens when a normal man, goes after the purse snatchers on a moped. He uses a bike. He chases after them, and tackles them and fights them to get the woman’s purse back.

Be the Rufus!

Video 9 – Toddler climbs out of the 6th floor window.

This is a problem in China. So many skyscrapers, and so many children. When you hear cries from up above… what are you going to do? Wait for the police? Wait for the firemen? Wait for the building security?

No, you spring into action on your own and you take matters in your own hands. You be the Rufus.

Video 10 – Child waits for mommy.

Here we have a little girl waiting for her mommy. The volunteers in the subway station come over and comfort her while she is waiting. Be the Rufus, you help others and tend to the scared, the frightened, the young and the needy.

Video 11 – Wheelchair help.

When a vet is trying to make his way, with no legs… in a wheelchair, what do you do? Are you like everyone else? You look away, you mind your own business. You don’t get involved?

Or, are you the Rufus?

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come.

However, when it calls, you must take action. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive. But, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus. Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

Here you can see that personal heroes come in different sizes and shapes and that being a hero is our highest calling in our world. Be the hero. Be the Rufus.
Here are some more videos of personal heroism. These videos all take place in China, and show examples of how average, normal, everyday people (or dogs and cats) can make a difference. When the calling strikes and an emergency occurs, will you be the one who turns their back, or will you run and offer help? Will you be the one who stays playing on the cell-phone, or will you lend a helping hand? Will you be the person who will make a difference in the lives of those around you, or are you just going to fade into the background.

More stories of personal heroism in China. This is part three.

Here are some more videos of personal heroism. These videos all take place in China, and show examples of how average, normal, everyday people (or dogs and cats) can make a difference. When the calling strikes and an emergency occurs, will you be the one who turns their back, or will you run and offer help?

Make a difference. Be like Rufus!

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.

These are all micro-videos of very short duration. From ten seconds to three minutes. I would suggest that you, the reader, allow them to load to get the full experience.

Video 1 – ATM robbery

You are minding your own business. You are in an ATM kiosk and are waiting in line while the chick in front of you withdraws some money. But, hey! You notice something. There’s a guy beside her with a knife! And he is robbing her directly… right there! In front of you, the other customers and is not afraid of him being filmed by the cameras!

What would YOU do?

Video 2 – Child falls into a manhole.

So, yeah. It’s an average day. You are out shopping, and you know what? You see this little girl disappearing right in front of you! What are you going to do?

What would you do?

Video 3 – Little girl falls off the back of a scooter.

A little girl falls off the back of the scooter, and her mother rides off into the sunset. The girl, terrified and afraid wanders about. What would you do? Would you help her out?

Would YOU help her?

Notice that no only did the other woman on the scooter stop, but the white car did as well. He opened up the door and offered to take the little girl home.

Video 4 – Crazed knife attacker.

You are having a nice quick lunch in a restaurant. Suddenly out of the blue this guy comes running inside the restaurant shouting “God is great!” in some strange language. That’s odd enough, but he’s waving around a cleaver and is heading towards the back of the restaurant. Yikes!

What are you going to do?

Video 5 – Fire at a gas station.

We’ve all stopped to fill our cars with gas. But what happens when the truck next to your car catches on fire? What would you do? Here is what happens when well-trained station attendants spring into action…

Video 6 – Frightened baby.

Not all heroes wear tights, have capes and fly through the skies. Often the environment around us just needs a little bit of help; more smiles, a kind word or some encouragement. Check out what this doctor does to sooth the fears of this child…

Video 7 – Helping the old man cross the street.

Crossing the streets in China are often quite trying. Cars zoom back and forth Indy-500 style. No one seems to give a Rat’s Ass about pedestrians. Never the less, not everyone has a car, and you do have to cross the street. Even when you are 99 years old.

What would you do? Honk the horn and yell “Hey old man! Get the fuck out of my way, ya old geezer!”, or would you be the Rufus…

Be . The . Rufus .

Video 8 – Returning a wallet.

Kindness and being fair and just is what defines us. Contrary to what Hollywood, and Washington DC can make us believe, there are good people in the world. It’s just that they avoid publicity and operate quietly in silence and secrecy.

Be the Rufus.

Video 9 – Stranger collapses on the street.

You are walking to your car. Then you notice this body in the street off the parking lot. It’s limp. Dead. Not moving. What are you going to do?

Be the Rufus!

Video 10 – Know the full story.

Life is not black and white. It is full of grey areas, and it is up to us to individually determine where the to place the line that makes things black and white. But, we must know the full story first. We cannot rely on your eyes and ears, and certainly CANNOT rely on the news-babe on television. The truth is often elusive.

Do not judge others unless you know their full story.

Do not judge. Know the full story.

Conclusion

We do not know when the calling will come. However, when it calls, you must take action.

No. It will not make you wealthy, rich, famous, or attractive.

However, it will make a difference when you are judged upon death. Be the Rufus.

Make a difference. Help others. It’s our highest calling.

For my High School was fully and intentionally diverse. And at that time, there were two techniques of grouping people.  These techniques were by [1] merit, and [2] by random association. Or in other words; "diversity". Thus we can compare diversity against merit as the criteria used in a selection process.

Very interesting patents are coming out from the United States Navy, and being denied because there isn’t any supporting technology. Huh?

Patent documents indicate that the U.S. and China are actively developing radical new craft that seem eerily similar to UFOs reported by Navy pilots.

The United States Secretary of Navy is listed as the assignee on several curious aviation technologies patents. These are highly unusual patents, devices and mechanisms.

Highly unusual.

These patents were generated by an aerospace engineer working at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) headquarters in Patuxent River, Maryland.

They are very interesting.

One of these patents describes a “hybrid aerospace-underwater craft”. You know, one that can swim through the water as easily as it can fly through the air or jet through space.

According to the patent, it is capable of truly extraordinary feats of speed and maneuverability in air, water, and outer space. It is truly a revolutionary electromagnetic propulsion system. 

Very exciting. Bordering (or perhaps, crossed over) the line between accepted scientific paradigms and God-like technology.

A scientific paradigm is a framework containing all the commonly accepted views about a subject, conventions about what direction research should take and how it should be performed. 

- What Is A Paradigm? - Explorable.com 

To most classically educated scientists, it sounds pretty far fetched.

Imagine trying to get a patent for it!

Trying to get a patent.

A primary patent examiner at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) thought that they were too fantastic to approve. And as such, he denied the patent applications as “too fantastical” to be considered in any degree of seriousness.

“Brawndo has what plants crave. It’s got electrolytes.”

This did not sit well with the United States Navy.

No sir. Not at all.

They absolutely and urgently, wanted these patents to be granted. They believed that it was in the best interests of “National Security”.

Washington has been incapable of coping with the great changes that have taken place in recent years, including the rise of emerging markets and developing countries, and national security has become an excuse it leans on when it wants to act on its suspicions about the economic development and technological progress of other countries. 

- The phony excuse of national security - CGTN 

The Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of the Naval Aviation Enterprise personally wrote a letter addressed to the examiner. He claimed that the U.S. needs the patent. As the Chinese are already “investing significantly” in these aerospace technologies.

His argument is that the patents were necessary for “American Defense superiority”.

Chinese idiom.
Chinese idiom.

UFO’s? No way!

The descriptions on the patents sound very, very similar to the UFOs reported by Navy pilots.

The Tic Tac Incident.

They do.

Why is that, you suppose?

Well, everyone know that there’s no such things as “little green men”, extraterrestrials or “star people”. That’s just nonsense for school children. Right?

Right?

And since the USA would never keep secrets and technologies hidden from the American people, we know that they would tell us about extraterrestrials and their technologies. They would be open and transparent.

  • Open and transparent is the way America always does things. Right?
  • That’s what it’s like to live within the best democracy in the history of the world. Right?
  • The government is open and has no secrets. Don’t you know!

So, there are no extraterrestrials at all. After all, President Obama got on the Ellen DeGeneres show and said that to an audience of millions. Millions!

US President Barack Obama has awarded the USA's highest civilian honor to various actors, musicians and athletes during a ceremony at the White House.

Since it cannot be extraterrestrials that are using these technologies, then it MUST be those terrible Chinese or Russians! Right?

Damn Commies!

It's easy to find demonization of the Chinese on the internet. Oh, they are so evil... right?
It’s easy to find demonization of the Chinese on the internet. Oh, they are so evil… right?

This raises the question, are the Chinese developing (or even already flying craft) leveraging similar advanced technology and is the American Navy now scrambling to catch up?

I rather doubt that the Chinese are anywhere near this level of development, and I am a pretty strong supporter of the Chinese. Yes, it is true that many Chinese cities look like something out of the "The Jetsons", but this level of technology is centuries more advanced than what is publicly available in peer review journals.

-Metallicman

And I am not alone…

I deeply doubt  that the Navy is playing catch-up to what the Chinese have secret  developed. Tingly and Rogoway do not appear to be aware of the many  insiders who have come forward with their startling testimonies about  U.S. reverse engineering programs involving captured flying saucer  technologies that go back as far back as the 1940s. 

-EXOpolitics

Why not reverse engineering of extraterrestrial craft?

Why not?

I mean, you have to be a rather retarded block head not to realize that the universe is a very big place, and time goes on a long long way. To think that the world, as we know it, and the beliefs that we hold are absolutely fundamentally correct, is absolute lunacy.

Extraterrestrials exist.

The Untied States government knows about them, and has treaties with numerous entities. They have been reverse engineering their technologies for decades now, and it’s only a matter of time when the research will pay off with some kind of hybrid developmental vehicles.

It’s only a matter of time.

Maybe like now.

CARET

And if the reverse engineering has reached a point where actual prototypes can be manufactured, perhaps it would also be a good time to secure intellectual patents protections. Right?

Right?

The Wondrous Inventions Of Dr. Salvatore Cezar Pais

Maybe a look at some of these patents might give us some insight.

Maybe we can take a peek at the strange aerospace patents filed by Salvatore Cezar Pais, an aerospace engineer at NAWCAD. 

Aerospace engineers work and develop the technologies and systems that go into vehicles that fly though the air and space.
Aerospace engineers work and develop the technologies and systems that go into vehicles that fly though the air and space.

Let it be well understood that there are some supplemental documents in the USPTO’s databases that imply that Navy leadership knows that these technologies are actually feasible.

Throughout the supplemental documents are references to actual validation tests and observations. All of which point to the idea that these parents are not just “ideas of merit”, but rather “technical protection documents for technology that has been proven to work”.

Let it be well understood that there are some supplemental documents in the  USPTO’s databases that imply that Navy leadership knows that  these technologies are actually feasible.
Let it be well understood that there are some supplemental documents in the USPTO’s databases that imply that Navy leadership knows that these technologies are actually feasible.

Little information can be found about Salvatore Cezar Pais; he has virtually no web presence.

What is known is that he received a PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Case Western Reserve University in 1999. We also know that he currently works as an aerospace engineer for NAWCAD at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland. This facility is one of the Navy’s top aircraft test bases.

Pais has published several articles and presented papers at American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics conferences over the years.

With all the "hush hush" and top secret development work in the deep black SAP's, it's just a simple matter of time before some of the technologies will need to be patented.
With all the “hush hush” and top secret development work in the deep black SAP’s, it’s just a simple matter of time before some of the technologies will need to be patented.

In those papers he covers his work in electromagnetic propulsion, and revolutionary room temperature superconductors. Not to overlook such topics like his PhD dissertation: “Bubble generation under reduced gravity conditions for both co-flow and cross-flow configurations.”

NASA helped fund his dissertation.

The Navy’s Patented Hybrid Underwater Aerospace Craft

Pais is named as the inventor on four separate patents for which the U.S. Navy is the assignee:

While all are pretty outlandish-sounding, the last one is the one that the Chief Technical Officer of the Naval Aviation Enterprise personally vouched for.

This is the patent that he claimed that the Chinese are already developing similar capabilities.

The patent was first applied for on April 28, 2016, over a decade after the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group encountered strange Tic Tac-shaped aircraft. It is also nearly a year after Navy pilots across multiple squadrons flying out of Naval Air Station Oceana and NAS Norfolk experienced a string of bizarre encounters with unidentified aircraft. Some of which, like the Tic Tac UFO, seemed to possess exotic performance capabilities.

The hybrid aerospace-underwater craft in Pais’ patent, meanwhile, is described as being capable of incredible feats of speed and maneuverability. It can fly equally well in air, water, or space without leaving a heat signature.

This is possible, Pais claims in the patent, because the craft is able to “engineer the fabric of our reality at the most fundamental level” by exploiting the laws of physics. 

“…engineer the fabric of our reality at the most fundamental level”

The concept is fairly simple, although the engineering required to make it a reality is another issue all together.

The basic theory…

All matter contains energy on the quantum level.

All particles are ripples in fields and have energy; photons are not special in this regard. Photons are stuff; energy is not. The stuff of the universe is all made from fields (the basic ingredients of the universe) and their particles. At least this is the post-1973 viewpoint.

-  Matter and Energy: A False Dichotomy 

By theoretically creating its own incredibly dense and polarized energy field, the hybrid craft is claimed to be able to create a quantum ‘vacuum’ around itself. This vacuum allows it to repel any air or water molecules with which it interacts.

Thus, the craft can essentially ignore aerodynamic or hydrodynamic forces, or so it is claimed in the patent.

The hybrid craft is claimed to be able to create a quantum ‘vacuum’ around itself which allows it to repel any air or water molecules with which it interacts.

Throughout his patents and publications describing the hybrid aerospace underwater craft (HAUC), Pais writes that the radical feats of speed and maneuverability (of which the craft is supposedly capable of) can be achieved by coupling “high-frequency axial spin” or “accelerated vibration” with “high-frequency vibrations of electrically charged systems.”

High speeds are possible with [1] High frequency axial spin (or vibration) and [2] high frequency vibrations of electrically charged systems. 

In other words, if you can [1] create a room temperature superconductor capable of storing an incredibly high amount of energy and [2] get the energy field created by that superconductor moving at incredibly high speeds around or within the craft, then…

… you can create a polarized energy vacuum around it.

This then, allows it to basically ignore the energy of the air or water around it, thereby removing its own inertia and mass from the equation. 

The application of the theory…

In his most recent publication, Pais describes the hybrid aerospace / underwater craft as a roughly cone-shaped vehicle that would appear round from the front or rear.

“the HAUC is conical in  configuration, with an elliptical cross-section, similar in geometry to a  hypersonic glide vehicle / dart.” 

Interestingly enough, the descriptions of the craft in several of Pais’ publications and even the patent for “Craft using an inertial mass reduction device” include room for a crew compartment shielded by a Faraday cage.

The radical vehicle would have room for a crew compartment. Maybe something along the lines of the space shuttle, where the pilot and NFO would sit side by side.
The radical vehicle would have room for a crew compartment. Maybe something along the lines of the space shuttle, where the pilot and NFO would sit side by side.

Shortly after the patent for the hybrid craft was approved in 2018, Pais presented another related paper, “Room Temperature Superconducting System for Use on a Hybrid Aerospace Undersea Craft” .

He presented it at the 2019 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics SciTech Forum in San Diego on January 2019.

Man, with all these papers of a great diversity of subject matter and content, you would think this guy is either a genius, or is the designated patsy for technical patent assignments for IP.

In the paper, Pais writes…

"the achievement of room temperature superconductivity (RTSC) represents  a highly disruptive technology, capable of a total paradigm change in  Science and Technology,” and adds that its “military and commercial  value is considerable."

The capabilities described in the paper should certainly sound familiar to anyone who’s been following the Navy UFO stories over the last several years:

"the achievement of room temperature superconductivity (RTSC) represents  a highly disruptive technology, capable of a total paradigm change in  Science and Technology,” and adds that its “military and commercial  value is considerable."
“the achievement of room temperature superconductivity (RTSC) represents a highly disruptive technology, capable of a total paradigm change in Science and Technology,” and adds that its “military and commercial value is considerable.”

From the paper…

It  is possible to envision hybrid aerospace-undersea craft (HAUC), which  can function as a submersible craft capable of extreme underwater speeds  (lack of water-skin friction) and enhanced aerial/underwater stealth  capabilities (non-linear scattering of RF and sonar signals). 

This  hybrid craft would move with great ease through the air/space/water  mediums, by being enclosed in a Vacuum/plasma bubble/sheath, due to the  coupled effects of EM field-induced air/water particles repulsion and  Vacuum energy polarization. 

Dr. Brian Collett provides his opinions

Dr. Brian Collett, is a Hamilton College physics chair who teaches courses in electromagnetic theory and quantum physics. He has some thoughts on these patents and what they might imply.

Collett stated that patents and peer-reviewed articles about theoretical physics are one thing, however the descriptions of the HAUC and the claims in Pais’ research…

"...bear no more  resemblance to quantum physics as I understand it than does ‘The Force’  from Star Wars." 

Moreover, Collett adds,

"a working room temperature  superconductor would have far more radical uses that are actually within the bounds of possibility" 

…than a hybrid craft that can theoretically create a quantum vacuum around itself. 

Other physicists have stated the same thing – although most of them refused to go anywhere near on the record concerning the hybrid craft patent based on how outlandish it seems.

But…

But…

But, why then would the Naval Aviation Enterprise CTO personally vouch for this patent to the USPTO?

Is it possible?

Just because something is patented doesn’t mean it’s currently in production or even possible.

Private entities and the U.S. government both regularly patent forward-looking technologies to ensure that they own the rights to them when or if they’re ever fully realized. The patent for the hybrid craft is set to expire on September 28, 2036.

That being said, the unorthodox circumstances surrounding the approval of this patent have us wondering why the Chief Technology Officer of the U.S. Naval Aviation Enterprise, Dr. James Sheehy, personally vouched for the legitimacy of this beyond-revolutionary aerospace technology in the Navy’s appeal to the USPTO.

Take important note. Sheehy assured the patent examiner in charge of this application that the aircraft propulsion method described in the patent is indeed possible or will be soon based on experiments and tests NAWCAD has already conducted.

Never the less, the application was initially rejected by Patent Examiner Philip Bonzell on the grounds that “there is no such thing as a ‘repulsive EM energy field,'”

While repulsive fields are well known in physics, the patent examination did not agree that this new type of repulsive field was possible. He saw no evidence that it could be constructed, tested or applied.

"when referring to the specifications as to ascertain  about the microwave emitters needed in this system it is seen that for a  high energy electromagnetic field to polarize a quantum vacuum as  claimed it would take 10^9 [T]eslas and 10^18 V/m." 

That’s roughly the equivalent to the magnetic strength generated by most magnetars and more electricity than what is produced by nuclear reactors. 

What would be needed to generate such amounts of energy is perhaps the  potentially revolutionary room temperature superconductor described in one of Pais’ other patents for which the Navy is listed as the assignee.

Obviously, the examiner believed it’s impossible with today’s technology. He believed that it was impossible to create the insane amount of energy needed to generate the EM field. And this is what would be required to propel this craft in the manner described in the patent application.

More New Technology…

The implication is that another type of new technology would be required.

Well, to do A, you need to have B, C, and D.

Well, imagine that! All these things are suddenly available simultaneously for patent. 

Wow oh wow!

Either an army or geniuses have been toiling away in the dark, in secret, and being fed through their cages for decades, or we have been secretly reverse engineering very advanced technologies based on principle that make the internal combustion engine, electronics, and rocket engines look like "Romper room play toys".

What would be needed to generate such amounts of energy is a revolutionary room temperature superconductor . One, mind you, already described for in one of Pais’ other patents for which the Navy is listed as the assignee. 

Hum…

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance, meaning the electrical currents carried through them never degrade or dissipate like they do in metals, such as copper or silver. 

After it  was rejected, the NAWCAD’s patent attorney, Mark O. Glut, appealed the  decision and submitted further documentation to ensure the patent office  that this craft is indeed "enabled," meaning it can actually be built  and can perform as described in the patent.

Superconductors also create their own repulsive magnetic fields when placed near magnets, enabling applications like the levitating Maglev trains currently floating at high-speed in Japan and China.

Most  superconductors today require extremely low temperatures to operate,  however, making them impractical for most uses outside of laboratories  or large scale industrial applications. Room temperature superconductors  for years have been something of a "Holy Grail" of science for  engineers, because, once realized, they would open the doors for  incredible new forms of power transmission and storage, electric motors,  and magnetic levitation devices.

According to documents available to the public at the USPTO website, the Patent Office rejected Pais’ and the Navy’s application for this craft on March 30, 2018.

This craft has already been built…

One of the most compelling items in the collection of appeal documents is the letter accompanying the final appeal written CTO Sheehy concerning the U.S. Patent Office’s rejection of “Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device.”

This craft is indeed “enabled,” meaning it can actually be built and can perform as described in the patent.

In the letter dated 15 December 2017, Dr. Sheehy claims that Salvatore Pais has “already begun a series of experiments to design and demonstrate advanced High energy Density/High Power propulsion systems” that are described in the patent. 

In the letter dated 15 December 2017, Dr. Sheehy  claims that Salvatore Pais has "already begun a series of experiments to  design and demonstrate advanced High energy Density/High Power  propulsion systems" that are described in the patent.
In the letter dated 15 December 2017, Dr. Sheehy claims that Salvatore Pais has “already begun a series of experiments to design and demonstrate advanced High energy Density/High Power propulsion systems” that are described in the patent. 

Furthermore, Sheehy claims that…

"the realization of this result demonstrates that  this patent documents the future state of the possible and moves  propulsion technology beyond gas dynamic systems to field-induced  propulsion based hybrid aerospace-undersea craft." 

Have a look at the letter yourself:

"the realization of this result demonstrates that  this patent documents the future state of the possible and moves  propulsion technology beyond gas dynamic systems to field-induced  propulsion based hybrid aerospace-undersea craft."
“the realization of this result demonstrates that this patent documents the future state of the possible and moves propulsion technology beyond gas dynamic systems to field-induced propulsion based hybrid aerospace-undersea craft.” 

It’s important to note that Sheehy doesn’t go so far as to say on the record that the Navy currently possesses this technology and instead notified Patent Examiner Philip Bonzell that he agrees that…

"this mode of  acceleration/movement is beyond the state of the possible, at least at  present." 

Sheehy, of course, adds that…

"China is already investing  significantly in this area" and "would prefer we [the U.S.] hold the  patent as opposed to paying forever more to use this revolutionary  technology" as he asserts "this will become a reality." 

Remarkably, it seems to boil down to the ol’ “we must not allow an Inertial Mass Reduction Device gap!

Heh. Heh.

Approved patent.

Perhaps because of that threat from the Chinese looming, the USPTO finally issued a notice of allowance for “Craft Using an Inertial Mass Reduction Device” to the Department of the Navy on October 31, 2018, at a fee of $1,000 USD.

No reason was given for why the patent was eventually approved. 

It’s important to note, as well, that U.S. patent law ends at America’s borders. The Navy can patent anything it wants to, but those patents would not necessarily keep a foreign country from developing and patenting similar technologies. 

The Dawn Of Electromagnetic Propulsion?

Normally, I would agree with others that these patents are likely just the Navy ensuring that when or if this technology does become available, the U.S. will be able to control it.

However, these are not normal times.

Thanks to To the Stars Academy (TTSA), the Department of Defense, and the media at large, the Navy pilots have witnessed aircraft behaving exactly like the craft these patents describe. Additionally, some of the pilots’ visual descriptions of those anomalous aircraft even seem to be uncannily similar to the drawings of the aircraft as depicted in Pais’ patents. 

One of those patents depicts a curiously and distinctly shaped gravitational wave generator that resembles the Tic Tac-shaped object reported by retired U.S. Navy Commander David Fravor and other NimitzCarrier Strike Group pilots in encounters that took place in 2004 off the Baja Coast.

The so called “Tic Tac” encounter.

In regards to claims that these patents may simply be speculative “math theory,” as the patent examiner called them in one of the rejections. Never the less, it’s important to remember that scientific and engineering research sometimes reach tipping points. Tripping points in which incremental progress made over decades suddenly culminates in large paradigm shifts. Shifts, mind you, that bring the theoretical into the realm of the possible. (Of course, massive bursts of associated funding also can really help, of course.)

The patents appear to draw upon established theoretical research. Included in the Navy’s patent appeals and Pais’ most recent publication are references to decades’ worth of peer-reviewed research in room temperature superconductors and macroscopic quantum effects. Additionally, there are even notated copies of several studies related to Pais’ research.

In the publication, Pais also thanks Naval Aviation Enterprise CTO Dr. James Sheehy…

"for the many hours of thought-provoking discussions on the  concept at hand."

To the Stars Academy.

Interestingly enough, both Pais’ research and some of his patents also contain acknowledgments to the work of Dr. Harold E. Puthoff.

Dr. Harold E. Puthoff is the co-founder and Vice President of Science and Technology of To the Stars Academy.

The nearest stars to our solar system.
The nearest stars to our solar system.

Dr. Harold E. Puthoff is an electrical engineer and inventor who has published research on polarized vacuums, but has also been extensively involved with paranormal and somewhat pseudoscientific topics such as remote viewing

According to their website,

  • TTSA’s goal is to advance “our current understanding of scientific phenomena and its technological implications.”
  • The stated mission of TTSA’s Aerospace division is to find “revolutionary breakthroughs in propulsion, energy, and communication”.
  • The company claims it is “currently working with lead engineers from major Department of Defense and aerospace companies with the capability to pursue an advanced engineering approach to fundamental aerospace topics.”
  • This includes Space-Time Metrics Engineering (STME). (This is a theoretical concept in which quantum vacuums are engineered as a means of propulsion.)

It remains unclear how TTSA intends to follow through with and secure funding for these ambitious goals.

Physicist Harold White stunned the  aeronautics world when he announced that he and his team at NASA had  begun work on the development of a faster-than-light warp drive.  His proposed design, an ingenious  re-imagining of an Alcubierre Drive, may eventually result in an engine  that can transport a spacecraft to the nearest star in a matter of weeks  — and all without violating Einstein’s law of relativity.

In a press release marking the official launch of TTSA on Oct. 11, 2017, former Program Director for Advanced Systems at Lockheed Martin Advanced Development Programs at the Skunk Works, Steve Justice, described how TTSA was working on developing revolutionary “Advanced Electromagnetic Vehicles”.

These are vehicles that will “dramatically reduce the current travel limits of distance and time” and “mimic the capabilities observed in unidentified aerial phenomenon by employing a drive system that alters the space-time metric.”

Without a doubt, these advanced electromagnetic vehicles that TTSA says it plans to develop sound uncannily like the electromagnetic hybrid aerospace underwater craft in Pais’s patent.

Few Answers, But Plenty Of Questions

NAWCAD has a liaison for pubic communication.

Kurt Larson is NAWCAD’s Public Affairs Director.

Larson states that…

"when it comes to  patent applications, [NAWCAD] cannot provide any context outside of the  filed patent application documents." 

Similarly, USPTO policy states that applications for patents are not generally open to the public, and…

"no information concerning them is released except on written authority  of the applicant, his or her assignee, or his or her attorney, or when  necessary to the conduct of the business of the USPTO."

As striking as the similarity between the claimed capabilities of the hybrid craft and those of the objects described by Navy personnel, it’s still unknown whether these patents are related to the ongoing UFO revelations.

It is important to note that if the Navy had wanted this patent to remain classified, it could have filed the patent under the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951 (35 U.S.C. ch. 17).

This is a law which allows patents to remain classified if they might pose a possible threat to the national security of the United States.

Instead of doing that, however, all of Pais’ patents are currently fully available to the public.

If such a propulsion technology was so revolutionary and if the Navy indeed wanted to keep this technology out of others’ hands, it’s curious that they would choose to make the patent public.

Maybe the Navy is signaling to its adversaries that it, too, is aware of this revolutionary capability and to whom it belongs.

Also, consider the fact that Senators, including the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Community, have been briefed in recent weeks by Navy officials about the unexplained sightings Navy pilots have reported.

Even President Donald Trump recently stated in an interview that the Navy UFO reports could be due the fact that pilots

 "see things  a little bit different from the past,"

This is a comment which could be taken to mean that pilots are witnessing new types of aerospace technology for the first time.

Trump seemed to indicate that he does not believe the objects reported by Navy pilots are evidence of anything extraterrestrial. As such he took his interviewer’s UFO question in stride without any apparent surprise. This could be an indication of just how far into the mainstream the UFO discussion has become.

A Technology “UFO” Race

Consider as well the comments made by former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, reportedly a key figure in securing funding for programs like the now-infamous Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program and its associated studies.

Has China and Russia also been reverse engineering exotic extraterrestrial spacecraft as well?
Has China and Russia also been reverse engineering exotic extraterrestrial spacecraft as well?

Earlier this year, Reid stated that the U.S., Russia, and China are currently in a “UFO race.”

We know the Chinese have already publicly made major strides in electromagnetic naval capabilities including railguns and aircraft catapults, as well as other highly advanced defense technologies.

Could Reid have meant that these three military powers are currently scrambling to be the first to master the technology behind a hybrid aerospace-undersea craft and deploy it on a substantial scale? If so, where does the Navy, and the Pentagon as a whole, currently stand in that clandestine race?

Well known in "UFO circles" that the Russians have been working with extraterrestrial species for decades and has various vehicles in their possession.
Well known in “UFO circles” that the Russians have been working with extraterrestrial species for decades and has various vehicles in their possession.

Furthermore, Pais notes in the paper that such a technology…

“would permit swift movement of the HAUC beyond our Solar System.” 

Is this an undisclosed reason why we suddenly need a Space Force? Is this what Air Force Lieutenant General Vera Linn Jamieson was referring to last year when she casually dropped during an unrelated interview that in…

 "different galaxies in the future we’re going to actually have  capability that we have right now in the air”? 

And this is hardly the only highly peculiar thing that Air Force leadership has spouted off about in regards to the future of America’s military footprint in space.

Image is from a source who claims China will be releasing Hi Res images taken by the Chang’e-2 moon orbiter, which clearly show buildings and structures on the moons surface.

It’s also possible that this patent is just another facet of an information operation that goes along with a larger UFO narrative to promote the Pentagon’s undisclosed interests.

But…

But…

But the inclusion of China, a very terrestrial potential foe and America’s chief technological adversary, as a direct competitor when it comes to the technology seems odd and even counterproductive if that were the case. 

On the other hand, some may say that this could be proof of two superpowers struggling to mimic the capabilities of something they are observing, but do not fully understand on a technological level. Considering all the unknowns, all possibilities are worth examining.

The Inventor speaks out

I hate it when other people get credit for work that you do. I know, it has happened to me, more than just a few times.

Comment or Message

The article on patents held by the Navy make me feel angry because I have an unmet need for the US Government to acknowledge my patents on gravitomagnetic energy. https://patents.google.com/patent/US10177690B2/en I observe I also filed for a patent in China too. 

They denied the patent even though the US had already granted it. I feel suspicious that they stole my invention along with the US Navy. I have an outstanding FOIA request on this with the Navy.

I have analyzed the Navy's Tic Tac UAP video to demonstrate spacetime metric engineering effects.

I observe I have some research results I would like to share. Here's a report I conducted with correspondence with Dr. Hal Puthoff of TTSA. There's a few of the slides in the beginning that cover my background. 

http://www.calfree.com/TicTacUhtm.pptx

Also I have several GIF files I created to share to show some of the UAP technology in action I would like to explain in more detail. It makes me feel happy to know your curious. I request you check out the following background information that goes with the PowerPoint presentation. I suggest you run the presentation software to operate the Gif on quantum tunneling; slide 7. My explanation of the presentation is in the form of a dialog.

Where do slides 6-11 come from? Are they your research, or from Dr. Puthoff? Both? Somewhere else?

Observe the information in slide 6 from Hal’s paper which I cite on the upper left of the slide. Spacetime metric engineering allows for altered spacetime. Basic hypothesis in altered spacetime: denser spacetime (g00 <1, |g11| > 1) time dilates, length shrinks “gravitational”, and, expanded spacetime (g00 > 1, |g11| <1) time shrinks, length dilates “antigravitational”. 

Observe slide 7 explains how quantum entanglement [quantum tunneling] works and its possible to move information through spacetime instantaneously. 

I feel this is useful to explaining the concept of wormholes. Observe slide 8 explains the concept of gravitational frame dragging using nano-bump [empirical] data from the mass spin-valve device. 

My invention is called the mass spin-valve or gravitational rectifier, aka gravity diode. Observe slide 9 explains using nano-bump [empirical] data from the mass spin-valve device to support the creation of denser spacetime (g00 <1, |g11| > 1) time dilates, length shrinks “gravitational” energy at the nano-scale.

Observe slide 10 explains using nano-pit [empirical] data from the mass spin-valve device to support the creation of expanded spacetime (g00 > 1, |g11| <1) time shrinks, length dilates “antigravitational” energy at the nano-scale. 

Observe slide 11 explains that utilizing data from variable area nano-bumps and nano-pits we are able to show that moving objects at the nano-scale produce parabolic pull force of nano-gravity and hyperbolic push force of nano-antigravity [like a balloon]. 

The term 'antigravity bubble', I'm not quite sure what that is -- how it operates or what it looks like. So, when you mention balloons (i.e. 'a dark torus shaped balloon', 'A balloon shaped brighter region', or 'small dark oval shaped balloon') -- are you saying 'balloon' because they appear balloon-shaped? 

That is to say -- they aren't physical balloons travelling alongside the craft? Observe denser spacetime (g00 <1, |g11| > 1) force magnitude of gravity |g11| is greater than 1 G force and anti-gravity force is less than 1 G, and, expanded spacetime (g00 > 1, |g11| <1) force magnitude of gravity |g11| is less than 1 G force and anti-gravity force is greater than 1 G. I hope this helps your understanding of slide 6. 

Greater G force means time dilates, length shrinks “gravitational” energy while lower G force means time shrinks, length dilates “anti-gravitational” energy. This is based on principals of General Relativity, Einstein's theory of geometric gravitation and the data. 

http://www.calfree.com/TicTacSpacetimeMetricEngineering.gif 

No, [not a real balloon] the dark balloon shaped region over the top of the UAP appears to be a region of expanded spacetime. The other balloon shaped regions on the right of the UAP are also regions of altered spacetime used to open a wormhole on the left of the UAP. These regions appear to be utilized to create gravitational winding spring like force that propels the craft to the left at the entrance to the wormhole. Empirical evidence is from slides 7-11. This second GIF includes this first one above. Above the UAP is the anti-gravity balloon I explain in slide 11. The left of the image is where a worm hole is opened and the right side is where the UAP is spacetime engineering a gravitational bow, like in a bow and arrow, where the UAP is the arrow. This second GIF shows the arrow being released; aka warp drive. http://www.calfree.com/TicTacWarpDrive.gif This third GIF shows something I felt was pretty cool. It appears the UAP as hitting the Nimitz aircraft with an EMP pulse which saturates the IR detector array. http://www.calfree.com/TicTacEMPattack.gif Are you suggesting that the Air Force acted aggressively towards the UAP -- possibly hitting it with some type of hypersonic weapon? -- 'These slides make me feel uncomfortable. I have an unmet need for reassurance of future nonviolent interaction with UAPs. 

I request the support for further failure analysis and for development of protocols for remedial measures.' My experience as an Archaeologist necessitates me to intercommunicate with native Americans about their culture. This requires a feeling of trust be established so I don’t go where I am not invited. 

The UAP appears to be hitting the Nimitz aircraft with an electromagnetic pulse that charged the IR detector array fanout on the back of the array causing it to saturate. The image observed shows the fanout behind the array in that frame. I don’t know what the Nimitz aircraft did to the UAP that would be considered hostile by the UAP.

I really do not know why the organization was kept so secret. It really wasn’t because of any kind of military concern, and the technologies were way too involved for any kind of information transfer. The only conclusion that I can come to is that we were obligated to maintain secrecy at the behalf of our extraterrestrial benefactors.

What happens when nations collapse. It’s not pretty.

Human history has been quite violent. From devastating pandemics to consistent war, our ancestors saw more action in a single week than most of us will see in our lifetimes.

We, living in our safe societies, has assumed that civilized safety is the norm. We are wrong. It isn’t. Violence is the norm.

Even if we have the numbers, it’s still difficult to imagine exactly how violent some of our history has been. Our most tumultuous times are now only remembered as statistics, even if they were a living nightmare for anyone unlucky enough to be there.

Consider the horrors during the collapse of society.

Here we discuss collapse scenarios and their stories. We look at historical events, and use them to predict future events. And, contrary to what we might want to believe, all nations eventually collapse. They do. This includes the largest empires on the face of the globe. Yes. This includes America.

Once they collapse, the survivors are either assimilated into other collectives, die off completely, or form new associations. Here, we look at the collapse of nations, empires and communities and what has happened during the events. These are just seemingly random reminders that the collapse of any society is possible and is often quite ugly.

This post…

This post is a compilation of musings that I have had for some time…

I have been wondering what it must have been for the people who were living in their nice stable societies when suddenly their entire world turned upside down. I wonder just how they felt when seemingly overnight, their entire life came crashing down.

America has NEVER experienced this.

Oh, some of the cities in the Southern States experienced this during the American Civil War, but they still were able to keep their English language, their history, and the deeds to their land. The people of Maine, for instance didn’t have the same experience that the citizens of Georgia or Alabama had to endure.

Nope. I’m talking about losing everything, and being grateful that you are still alive in a world that no longer speaks your language, where you are suddenly a third class slave, and every day is wracked with pain and agony.

America has never experienced THIS.

I say this because the collapse of the United States empire is probably going to be quite spectacular. It’s collapse will rival the fall of Asia before the great Mongol hordes.

The collapse of the United States is going to be spectacular.

I am going to concentrate on both Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun for illustration. There are many examples that I can use, but rather than get involved in other places and times, we’re going to keep things simple. Perhaps I can compare collapses using other nations and other times such as the Soviet Union, or the Comanche nation later on.

Most of this discussion revolves around the changes made by Genghis Khan.

Disclaimer

I cannot read tea leaves and have no way to predict the future aside from paying attending to trends in human behaviors. I have no special abilities in this regard. What I know about the MWI provides me with very little insight on our apparent future. Just my own part within it.

My advice to everyone is simple. 

Strengthen your relationships with your neighbors. Make yourself known. Know people in town by their first names and be welcoming to all your local neighbors.

Don't get too caught up with the news. 

Observe prudence in stockpiling food, and basic necessities. Live in a rural area if possible. Keep positive thoughts for they will affect your surroundings.

I am not promoting anything, just simply discussing what happened in the past, and raising the alarm that it could very well happen again.

Oh good God, no!

Do not be under the impression that you and your children will always be able to get a Moca-frappe coffee at Starbucks. Times change. Sometimes they evolve peacefully and sometimes they collapse all together violently.

Destroyed Starbucks.
Destroyed Starbucks.

Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun.

Let’s look at history.

Both of these rulers are similar in that they both seized well-established societies and communities. And those communities had become soft, complaisant and easy targets for a more aggressive society.

The Huns were a nomadic people who lived in Central Asia, the Caucasus, and Eastern Europe, between the 4th and 6th century AD. 

According to European tradition, they were first reported living east of the Volga River, in an area that was part of Scythia at the time; the Huns' arrival is associated with the migration westward of an Iranian people, the Alans. 

By 370 AD, the Huns had arrived on the Volga, and by 430 the Huns had established a vast, if short-lived, dominion in Europe, conquering the Goths and many other Germanic peoples living outside of Roman borders, and causing many others to flee into Roman territory. 

The Huns, especially under their King Attila, made frequent and devastating raids into the Eastern Roman Empire. 

In 451, the Huns invaded the Western Roman province of Gaul, where they fought a combined army of Romans and Visigoths at the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields, and in 452 they invaded Italy. 

After Attila's death in 453, the Huns ceased to be a major threat to Rome and lost much of their empire following the Battle of Nedao. Descendants of the Huns, or successors with similar names, are recorded by neighbouring populations to the south, east, and west as having occupied parts of Eastern Europe and Central Asia from about the 4th to 6th centuries. Variants of the Hun name are recorded in the Caucasus until the early 8th century.

Genghis Khan (born Temüjin, c. 1162 – August 18, 1227) was the founder and first Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his death. He came to power by uniting many of the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia.After founding the Empire and being proclaimed Genghis Khan, he launched the Mongol invasions that conquered most of Eurasia.

Both Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun utilized superior military forces.

For the cities and cultivated places in the Mongols’ path, they were a  natural disaster on the order of an asteroid collision. 

Like the Huns  and the Scythians before them, they came from the steppe grasslands of  central Asia, which produced their great resource of horses and draft  animals. After Genghis Khan united a number of Mongol tribes into a  single horde under his command in the early thirteenth century, they  descended on cities in China, India, Afghanistan, Persia, Turkestan, and  Russia. Between 1211 and 1223, they wasted dozens of cities and wiped  out more than 18.4 million people in China and environs alone.

These forces were trained and promoted through merit. They were lead by officers who obtained their positions through merit. In total these experts moved forward to conquer cities and nations. Nations, mind you, that had grown soft by a life of ease, internal political squabbling, and a digression away from meritorious behaviors.

Why is this important?

  • Attila the Hun = Russian Prototype = 450 AD
  • Ghenghis Khan = Chinese Prototype = 1200 AD

The time difference between the two is roughly 750 years.

So if you add 750 years to the time of Ghenghis Khan you end up with 1950. And in 1950 the largest nations in the world were China, Russia and the United States.

Using this rough calculation we can see that the decades following this date are significant for catastrophic changes in well-established nations.

  • China departure from pure communism to commercial socialism = 1970’s.
  • Russia departure from pure communism to democratic socialism = 1990’s.
  • American departure from oligarchical rule via democracy to a new form … 2020’s or so…

Every indicator is “red lining” and pointing to a massive reorganization of the United States. It may be voluntary, or it can be forced through catastrophic events. It might be initiated by the citizens themselves, or it can be aggravated through outside influences.

Though, reading the comments on social media, tells me that America is ripe for yet another fight.  Ready to battle the world, Russia and China, for "democracy". 

Totally oblivious to the consequences of global thermonuclear war.

What ever the cause, the developments, the reasoning, the mechanism or the intent… there WILL be changes coming to America in the 2020 decade. Here we discuss what it was like when the changes were brought forth suddenly to communities, cities and villages, in the past.

Please note all of these changes could have been prevented.

In every case it was the leadership of those cities, nation-states, and communities that “opened the door” for the rapid disintegration of their cultures, societies and lifestyles. In all cases, they misjudged the Huns, the Mongols, Attila, Ghenghis Khan, and their strengths. They viewed themselves technically, socially, spiritually, and culturally superior to the Asian horde.

They mistakenly believed that their previous national accomplishments, public structures, military campaigns, social importance, cultures and the arts were strong enough to withstand assault from outside threats.

They sat fat and comfortable in their capital cities, enjoying their concubines, eating lavish meals and trusting that things would forever continue on that path.

It was the national leadership that caused the destruction of their cities.

Leadership through merit

One of the most amazing things about the Mongols is that they had such exceptional leadership, even though they didn’t have much in the way of formal education.

The tactics and strategies employed by Genghis Khan and his greatest general, Subutai, were revolutionary, and at the time almost unstoppable.

One of the most amazing things about the Mongols is that they had such exceptional leadership.

Genghis created a meritocracy where the strongest and most talented rose to the top, and managed to unify the fighting Mongol tribes under his rule.

Leadership through merit creates a dangerous power.

General Subutai was able to simultaneously control two large armies, hundreds of miles away from each other. Pretty amazing in a time where communication was via horseback.

He was no slouch.

General Subutai won sixty five (65x) pitched battles, and masterminded over 20 military campaigns.

Leadership though merit will win over popularity or wealth every time.

The collapse of cities before Genghis Khan

We start our study by looking at some tales of cities that fell before the might of the Mongol hordes.

Now, empires, nations and civilizations don’t typically collapse due to war alone. It is often a combination of factors. Of which, war and violence is the most spectacular attribute.

  • Social collapse.
  • Political collapse.
  • Economic collapse.
  • Ethical collapse.
  • Physical collapse of infrastructure.

So, when Genghis Khan took over Asia, he did so not only with his superior forces, but through the knowledge that the cities were ripe for looting.

The cities were soft. Their people have become soft. Their rulers… soft.

Their leadership was weak, and their military, while in numerous cases quite state-of-the-art, lost their ability to adequately assess threats, and dangers and take strategic action. They were led by weaklings, political appointees or nepotism.

They were not led through merit.

The cities started to adopt unhealthy behaviors and strange mannerisms. These in turn, isolated them from the surrounding communities. They began to get the reputation as a “loony bin” or place where people live “within their own bubble”. Today, even still, we refer to some of these cities such as Babylon, as a place of degradation.

The collapse of a nation is caused by a combination of factors. Often, it is a superior culture or society confronts a stable but “soft” culture.

Most military historians judge that no European force could have stopped  the disciplined and innovative Mongolian armies. “Employed against the  Mongol invaders of Europe, knightly warfare failed even more  disastrously for the Poles at Legnica and the Hungarians at Mohi in  1241”  

-Stephen Hicks

You see the events around Genghis Khan are archetypal for the human condition.

Societies migrate from the K-reproductive strategy towards the r-reproductive strategy. Other societies do not, and then we have a situation where a K-reproductive strategy civilization encounters a r-reproductive society.

Blood is thus shed.

What happens when a society based on survival by merit encounters one of lazy sloth and unlimited sex?

Humans get comfortable, they get fat and lazy, and leaner, and meaner people confront them and take everything from them. The tough, the strong, and the aggressive takes from the weak and meek.

“The greatest joy for a man is to defeat his enemies, to drive them  before him, to take all they possess, to see those they love in tears,  to ride their horses, and to hold their wives and daughters in his  arms.” 

-Genghis Khan. 

While this historical example (Genghis Khan) is actually referring to the physical seizure and physical destruction of people, place and things, we are referring to a far wider scope of assault.

A superior culture is one where everyone has a role, and works to the best of their ability. Leadership and success is determined by merit.

This can be military, as we have mentioned. It can be economic. It can be cultural. It can be sociological, and it can be ideological.

And, it can certainly be a combination of the above.

The Mongol were masterful at spreading fear and hate throughout Asia,  people feared them, and therefore hated them. 

They would rape and  pillage entire villages, and torture their victims for fun. 

Nobles would  get it the worst. 

Spilling noble blood was considered a crime, so they  simply crushed them to death, which took many hours. Mongols would  literally dine on top of them, making merry to the sounds of their  screams from underneath. The sounds of bodies squelching, and bones  snapping didn’t faze them. 

But rumors of this execution method struck terror. 

Fear made them even more powerful, and more feared, as people often chose to surrender and pay tribute rather than risk fighting them. 
The tough, the strong, and the aggressive takes from the weak and meek.
The tough, the strong, and the aggressive takes from the weak and meek.

They cultivated the illusion to sow fear into their enemies. And, you know, everyone who wasn’t a Mongol was their enemy.

Mongols also ate meat tenderized by being sat on beneath their  saddles on long journeys; marmot steeped in sour milk; curds dried in  the sun; roots, dogs, rats—almost anything, according to several  observers. Marco Polo, who traveled among them in  the years 1275-92, wrote that they ate hamsters, which were plentiful  on the steppes. 

A Franciscan friar who in 1245 went to seek out the  Great Khan in the hope of persuading him to become a Christian reported  that, during a siege of a Chinese city, a Mongol army ran out of food  and ate one of every ten of its own soldiers. 

Mediterranean people who  knew the Mongols only by reputation believed they were creatures with  dogs’ heads who lived on human flesh.

Other Mongol facts: On their  treeless steppes, they tended to get hit by lightning a lot. 

Thunder  terrified them. They wore armor made of scales of iron sewn to garments  of thick hide, and iron helmets that sometimes came to a point on top.  

Their swords were short and sometimes curved. 

The notches in their  arrows were too narrow to fit the wider bowstrings of the Western people  they fought, so that the arrows could not be picked up and shot back at  them. 

Mongol bows, made of layers of horn and sinew on a wooden frame,  took two men to string. Warriors carried them strung, in holsterlike  cases at their belts. 

Mongols had no words for “right” and “left,” but  called them “west” and “east,” respectively. 

When anyone begged from  them, they replied, “Go, with God’s curse, for if he loved you as he  loves me, he would have provided for you.”

Human nature & Poland

Why do humans tend to get weak and soft? It’s in our nature. It’s called the r/K theory, and it’s worth a read. (Opens up in a separate tab.)

r/K selection theory
An anecdote from my most-recent visit there (Poland), which was three years ago. I  was in the historic downtown of one of the smaller cities. My  brother-in-law and I were at an outdoor table of a restaurant. 

Next to  us were two men, maybe mid-twenties. They discussed something. One of  them was passionate about the subject and the other was listening. 

For  the first time ever in all of my visits to Poland, I felt that my SMV is  behind the curve there. Age does its thing, of course, but that wasn’t  it. Rather, after twenty years of my regular visits, I felt that… the  young men there suddenly looked taller, better dressed, more  intelligent, less awed by a shiny foreigner, more ready to give you that  piercing look like they can make it hurt. 

They are healthy people who  see the same global war on Whites that I do, encircling their country.  

The difference between me and them, is that I as a sort-of American  represented a conquered people and they represented free men. What a  difference that makes. 

-PA "A Normal Country"
Best kinds of comments under PeterSweden’s tweet are along the lines of “What a great example for the rest of us!” Exactly. The worst kinds of comments, and thankfully there were very few of those and I only saw them from European female posters: “I wish I could move to Poland.” Poland in the present moment is an example of a White Christian society that is free to be itself. This makes PeterSweden’s statement “feels like a normal country” mean more than it does on its face.

“Normal country.” Ordinary people in a normal country aren’t going to be  defensive or get in your face. Nor will they hem-and-haw like a  normie-cuckservative who watches his words lest a non-lie slips out.  What they will do, is patiently and politely tell you the simple truth  because they are not ashamed of anything. 
This is why Poland is so unusual to Western observers. It is a normal  country in which men are masculine and women are feminine. Peter Sweden’s  flattering comment about Poles should be as banal as an observation  that the people there have two arms and two legs each. Yet it’s a  startling observation because proper masculinity and femininity are  under attack. Under these circumstances, Poland is paradoxically an  extraordinary normal country. And so be it.  

When people move away from “normal”, they become soft and easy prey for the rest of the wild dangerous world…

Here’s a shout out for Mr. Putin. You all might want to compare him to his American equivalent; Barrack Obama.

“It’s not just pounding your fists and making loud statements, I believe that strength has several dimensions: First, a person must be convinced of the truth in what he is doing, and secondly: he must be ready to go all the way to achieve the goals that he set.”

An important note

It is so very easy to get all caught up in history; dates, places and names. It can become so confusing if you are coming flush without any context to put the information into perspective.

Here, I am going to throw out some stories, history and details related to events and leaders of the past. This includes various generals, and leaders and the actions that they took. When names are given, it’s pretty much assumed that they are a ranking general.

  • Subuta = General Subuta
  • Tolui = General Tolui

There will be figures thrown about… 100,000 killed, 5000 ships sunk, 350,000 civilians slaughtered, etc. These are enormous figures and it is very difficult to put into perspective.

To keep things reasonable, consider that when figures such as these are mentioned, assume them to mean 95% of the people were killed, or 98% of the city was slaughtered. Or 100% of the ships were sunk.

Please do not get too caught up in the details.

It’s easy to get bogged down. Just read and learn that our past is a violent one, and enormous groups of people were caught up in very difficult times where survival was a rarity.

When a city was sacked our under siege, the surrounding environment was completely picked clean. The Mongols would forage for food, livestock and property. Homes, villages and communities were emptied. Roving band of marauders would attack individual communities and young boys would be set forth to learn how to sack a household on their own.

The Mongols were like a plague of locusts eating and destroying everything in their path.

Speaking of Mohi…

Do not underestimate the dangerous

The Battle of Mohi was one of the most devastating battles in European history.

The Mongols attacked Hungary with three armies. One of them attacked through Poland in order to withhold possible Polish auxiliaries and defeated the army of Duke Henry II the Pious of Silesia at the Legnica. Duke Henry was slain (after trying to retreat) and “nine sacks of ears” collected by the victors “attested to the heavy losses of the defeated.” A southern army attacked Transylvania, defeated the Voivode (military commander) and crushed the Transylvanian Hungarian army. The main army led by Khan Batu and Subutai attacked Hungary through the fortified Verecke Pass and annihilated the army led by the count Palatine on March 12, 1241.

The Battle of Mohi, or Battle of the Sajó River, (on April 11, 1241) was the main battle between the Mongols under Subutai and the Kingdom of Hungary under Béla IV during the Mongol invasion of Europe. 

It took place at Muhi or Mohi, southwest of the Sajó River. 

Mongol use of heavy machinery demonstrated how military engineering  could be put to effective and strategic use. 

After the invasion,  Hungary lay in ruins. 

Nearly half of the inhabited places had been  destroyed by the invading armies. 

Around a quarter of the population was  lost, mostly in lowland areas, especially in the Great Hungarian Plain,  where there were hardly any survivors; in the southern reaches of the  Hungarian plain in the area now called the Banat, and in southern Transylvania. 

- Battle of Mohi - New World Encyclopedia 

25% of Hungary’s population was wiped out by after the Mongol incursions.

Half of all livable places had crumbled, smashed to bits by hordes of Mongols. Losses were heavy on both sides, but the Europeans suffered most. This was the most important major battle of the war between Hungary and the Mongolians.

After this major battle, Hungary was pretty much disarmed.

No armies remained to fight the Mongolians. Those few Hungarian survivors fled the area as fast as they could, leaving the cities. towns and villages undefended.

What followed was a tidal wave of death and destruction, as Mongol hordes rampaged through Hungary destroying cities, towns, communities, hamlets and habitations as they went.

It is terribly bad.

It made Hitler’s scorched earth policy look like a “walk in the park”.

A scorched-earth policy is a military strategy that aims to destroy anything that might be useful to the enemy when retreating from a position. Any assets that could be used by the enemy may be targeted. 

This usually includes obvious weapons, transport vehicles, communication sites, and industrial resources. However, anything useful to the advancing enemy can be targeted including food stores and agricultural areas, water sources, and even the local people themselves, although this has been banned under the 1977 Geneva Conventions. 

The practice can be carried out by the military in enemy territory, or in its own home territory while being invaded. It may overlap with, but it is not the same as, punitive destruction of the enemy's resources, which is usually done as part of political strategy, rather than operational strategy.

Bela IV, the King of Hungary, actually had to run to his archenemy, Duke Frederick, for safety. Frederick extorted him for as much as possible, including three of his countries.

He was a coward, but he lived on…

And his nation was remade in the image of the conquering Mongol armies.

What must it have been like… I wonder…

Looting of a Gallo-Roman Villa, Painting by Georges Rochegrosse

We begin our study into this historical trend by looking at a fine painting by Georges Rochegrosse. It is titled “Looting of a Gallo-Roman Villa”, and it’s wonderful.

Let this painting tell the story of what to expect when a nation is ruled by the soft, corrupt and effeminate. Here we have a scene somewhere in the wealthy sections of the Roman empire.

Members of Genghis Khan’s armies have moved upon the villa. They killed the soft, fat and chubby wealthy owner, and took possession of his wives, sons, daughters and slaves.

The reader should never be under the impression that humanity has moved away from this reality. Technology has changed, but human nature has not.

Human nature has NOT changed.

The Nature of the society with advantage

In a nomadic society, you can’t afford to have slackers. There’s just too much work to be done. So that means it there’s no room for anyone who can’t make him or herself useful, women and children included.

This includes everyone, and if slaves cannot do what they are told, they are killed immediately.

Genghis Khan believed in being rewarded for hard work, and operated on a  meritocracy over a nepotistic system. Many of his highest ranking  officers and generals had earned their way to those positions, instead  of simply being born to a particular family. 

-Factinate

It’s not just the men folk. It’s everyone in the entire community.

According to the University of Victoria, Mongolian women were not only expected to shoulder a lot of the responsibility, they were also expected to do a lot of the heavy lifting.

This differs substantially from the lifestyle of the wives and women of the lands that they conquered.

While all women had to "earn their keep" in the households, the more "advanced the society", the weaker and softer the women became.

It must have been very difficult for the pampered women of the aristocratic classes…

Women who worked were not at all admired or esteemed.

Compared to their counterparts in ancient  Greece, Roman wives of the upper classes were  shocking in their visibility in public.   Married women appeared in public, with their  husbands, or with a retinue of attendants. 
 
They went  shopping, attended festivals, sacrifices, games, and  entertainment. They acted as hostesses and dined  out. They attended women-only social events. 
 
Aristocratic women spent a great deal of time on  personal grooming and beauty preparations.

Unlike Alexander the great, the Caesars or the Persian emperors, Genghis Khan’s idea of conquest was not to occupy and rule another people, but rather to rape, pillage and destroy everything in his path.

We was a warlord of destruction.

Genghis Khan was a man of reason. He let the people in the Mongol Empire  live a happy life as long as they followed his rules. However, Genghis  Khan cruelly punished everyone who tried to break those rules. For  example, when the governor of one of the cities in the Khwarazmian  Empire took over Genghis Khan's trade caravan and killed all the  traders, Genghis Khan went berserker. He sent 100,000 Mongols to the  Khwarazmian Empire and killed thousands of people, including the  governor. Genghis Khan poured molten silver into the governor's eyes and  mouth until the poor guy roasted from the inside. That was a clear sign  that anyone, stupid enough to harm the Mongol Empire, would have to  face devastating consequences. History shows that spreading fear worked  perfectly in Genghis Khan's favor. He still needed to invade some  rebellious places from time to time, but for the most of the time,  people in The Mongol Empire behaved really well. 

-The Richest

He purged the lands of all human opposition, all human constructions, all human education and learning, and all human influence.

Then he remade it in his own image.

Worse was to come in 1221 — ‘a year to live in infamy’. While  Genghis’s other armies had been busy in the east, threatening Tbilisi in  Georgia and terrifying the Christian world, Tolui, one of Genghis’s  equally reprehensible sons, took Merv (in modern-day Turkmenistan), then one of the largest cities in the world. 

Promised safety, the citizens  surrendered and emerged from behind their walls. 

Tolui looked at the mass of people placed in front of him.

He ‘surveyed the  masses dolefully gathered with their possessions, mounted a golden chair and ordered mass executions to commence’. They took four days and nights to complete. Genghis’s rotten fruit did not fall far from the tree.

Terror — and the certainty of its visitation — was a major weapon in  Genghis’s arsenal: decapitated women, children and even cats and dogs were reputedly displayed. But while the butchery was indeed immense, it is worth questioning its extent on occasion: a depopulated city had little economic value, and imported colonisers could make up only so  much of the shortfall.

His total disregard for human life led to him being utterly feared throughout virtually the entire Eurasian land mass.

When George Curzon visited the ruined city of Merv in 1888, the vision  of its decay overwhelmed him. “In the midst of an absolute wilderness of  crumbling brick and clay,” the future viceroy of India wrote,  “the spectacle of walls, towers, ramparts and domes, stretching in  bewildering confusion to the horizon, reminds us that we are in the  centre of bygone greatness.” 

In its 12th-century pomp, Merv straddled the prosperous trade routes of the Silk Road. It was a capital of the Seljuk sultanate  that extended from central Asia to the Mediterranean. According to some  estimates, Merv was the biggest city in the world in AD1200, with a  population of more than half a million people.
 
But only decades later, the city was effectively razed by the armies  of Genghis Khan in a grisly conquest that resulted – if contemporary  accounts are to be believed – in 700,000 deaths.
 
A trader arriving from Bukhara to the north-east or from Nishapur to  the south-west would once have been relieved at the sight of Merv.  Crisscrossed by canals and bridges, full of gardens and orchards,  medieval Merv and its surrounding oasis were green and richly  cultivated, a welcome reprieve from the bleakness of the Karakum desert.
 
The city’s enclosing walls ran in an oblong circuit of five miles,  interrupted by strong towers and four main gates. Its streets were  mostly narrow and winding, crowded with closely built houses and  occasional larger structures: mosques, schools, libraries and  bathhouses. 

The citadel of the Seljuk sultans – replete with a palace, gardens  and administrative buildings – loomed over the north-eastern part of  Merv. Many different polities chose to make Merv the seat from which to  rule Khurasan, a region that included eastern Iran and parts of  modern-day Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan.
 
“For its cleanliness, its good streets, the divisions of its  buildings and quarters among the rivers … their city [Merv] is superior  to the rest of the cities of Khurasan,” wrote the 10th-century Persian  geographer and traveller al-Istakhri. “Its markets are good.”
 
Reaching Merv, the visiting trader might lead his pack-animals into the open courtyard of a two-storey caravanserai (an  inn with a courtyard for travellers), where he would jostle for space  with other merchants from as far as India, Iraq and western China. Or he  could go straight to one of Merv’s large markets, convened outside the  gates of the town or sometimes near its major mosques. The smoke of  potters’ kilns and steel-making furnaces (Merv was famous for its  crucible steel) would have hung over the surrounding industrial suburbs.
  
If the trader was feeling hot, he might step inside the icehouse on the city outskirts;  a tall conical building where residents accumulated snow during the  winter and which they used like a vast mud-brick fridge. Maybe he paid a  visit to a member of the city’s elite who lived in a koshk (a fortress-like home outside the walls removed from the dust and noise of the city). 

If he followed the route of the Majan canal, which ran up the middle of the city,  past the workshops of embroiderers and weavers, he would reach both  Merv’s central mosque and the adjacent monument, the mausoleum of Sultan  Sanjar. Built in AD1157 to honour the long-ruling Seljuk sultan, the  mausoleum was a large, square-shaped building rung with fine arches,  capped by a dome sheathed in turquoise-glazed tile. The dome was so  intensely blue that according to the Arab geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi,  who visited Merv in the 13th century, “It could be seen from a day’s  journey away.”
 
The city was known as Marv-i-Shahijan or “Merv the Great”, the  largest and most famous of a succession of towns in the Merv oasis. In  fact, the city sat alongside an earlier incarnation of Merv just to the  east, known as Gyaur-kala (“fortress of the pagans”).
 
Gyaur-kala flourished under the Sassanid kings of Persia from the  third to the seventh centuries AD. Archaeologists have found evidence in  this older Merv of a cosmopolitan urban society, boasting communities  of Zoroastrians, Buddhists, Manicheans, Christians and Jews. Under  Muslim rule from the seventh century onwards, the locus of urban  activity shifted west across the Razik canal to what would become  Marv-i-Shahijan (also known as Sultan-kala, “fortress of the sultan”).  Many of Gyaur-kala’s structures were probably cannibalised for material  in the construction of the new Merv, and industrial workshops, kilns and  furnaces sprung up amid its ruins.  

Merv was famous for its exports, especially its textiles. “From this  country is derived much silk as well as cotton of a superior quality  under the name of Merv cotton, which is extremely soft,” noted the  12th-century Arab geographer al-Idrisi. Robes and turbans made from Merv  cloth were popular around the Islamic world. 
 
So too were Merv’s much-loved melons. “The fruits of Merv are finer  than those of any other place,” wrote Ibn Hawqal, a 10th-century Arab  chronicler, “and in no other city are to be seen such palaces and  groves, and gardens and streams.”
 
 Merv had such a strong reputation for commerce and the pursuit of  wealth that the 14th-century Egyptian scribe al-Nuwayri described the  city’s chief characteristic as “miserliness”.
 
But Merv under the Seljuks was also a city of learning and culture.  It produced notable poets, mathematicians, astronomers, physicians,  musicians and physicists. The polymath Umar Khayyam is known to have  spent several years working at the astronomical observatory in Merv. “Of  all the countries of Iran,” al-Istakhri wrote of Merv, “these people  were noted for their talents and education.” Yaqut al-Hamawi counted at  least 10 significant libraries in the city, including one attached to a  major mosque that contained 12,000 volumes.  

No conquest was as traumatic as its pillage by the Mongols in 1221. Yaqut al-Hamawi was forced to flee the libraries of Merv as the armies of Genghis Khan’s son Tolui advanced upon the city. 

“Verily, but for the Mongols I would have stayed and lived and died  there, and hardly could I tear myself away,” he wrote sadly. The Mongols  laid siege for six days before the city surrendered, prompting one of  the worst massacres of the age. 
                                                                                                               
According to the Arab historian Ibn al-Athir, who based his account  on the reports of refugees from Merv: “Genghis Khan sat on a golden  throne and ordered the troops who had been seized should be brought  before him. When they were in front of him, they were executed and the  people looked on and wept. When it came to the common people, they  separated men, women, children and possessions. It was a memorable day  for shrieking and weeping and wailing. They took the wealthy people and  beat them and tortured them with all sorts of cruelties in the search  for wealth … Then they set fire to the city and burned the tomb of  Sultan Sanjar and dug up his grave looking for money. They said, ‘These  people have resisted us’ so they killed them all. Then Genghis Khan  ordered that the dead should be counted and there were around 700,000  corpses.”

On a personal level…

There have been many, many sad events associated with invasion, war and conflict. Let’s not forget that everything is on a personal level.

War is deeply personal.

It is on a visceral level, where once the society collapses, the military fails, and the rulers flee, it is the individual families that must confront their new fates.

Imagine that the menfolk are off in the local militia fighting off the Mongol horde. The ladies are at the farm. It’s quiet. The rooster is starting to crow, and then suddenly…

About this picture…

It’s  just a small story besides great catastrophes and tragedies, but the  most memorable thing I have ever learned about is the small family that  burned in their own oven while - probably - were trying to hide from  Mongol invaders.

Their  village - which was destroyed and burned - was dated to be from the 13.  century which is the time of the Mongol invasion (1241–42 in Hungary).  

Most people could probably escape their settlement as archaeologist only  found one other body in a ditch, but they were not that lucky. In the  burned house they found an 8–10 years old girl, a 10–11 years old boy,  and a 20–30 years old young woman in the oven of the house. 

Someone  probably ignited their house and as they couldn’t escape they hid in the  oven in desperation. They died with their hand protecting their face,  probably from the smoke, the boy was holding onto a kitchen tool which  he perhaps wanted to use earlier to protect themselves.

These photos are really powerful as they tell the horrible, vivid story this family might have gone through, which is really rare in archaeology in general. We talk about invasions, wars, and catastrophes so easily and tend to dehumanize the people who suffered from them because it happened so long ago but looking at them… it just reminds me that these dehumanized masses were made of persons.

On the oven baking surface, we opened the skeletons of two children who had been huddled together, in front of them, and at the mouth of the furnace, the remains of a young woman were found. The youngchild was an 8-10-year-old girl who, on her left side, curled up, holding her right hand in front of her face, behind her 10-11-year-old brother.

In the Batlle of Legnica the Mongolians are estimated to have been fighting a force twice its size with a variety of soldiers, including the famed Knights Templar.

A European coalition formed to try and stop the Mongols from entering Europe. The safety of Europe depended on this battle. Partway through the battle the Mongolian forces and began to retreat, and Polish forces charged in, reserves were also sent in to capitalize on this opportunity.

They were often killed, or burned alive in their homes.

Entire communities were wiped off the face of the Earth. Their leadership, grown fat, complaisant and happy over the decades of a life of leisure, were not at all equipped to deal with fierce, aggressive humans.

The Mongols were responsible for their own provisions. So while they were not fighting the armies, individual raiding parties broke from the main group and attacked isolated villages, homes and hamlets. No one was spared.

Lets look at what happened to some of the various cities that decided to stand up and defy the Mongol armies.

Kaifeng, 1232-33.

Kaifeng was the capital city of the Jurchen Jin dynasty of northern China.

Mongol Siege of Kaifeng, (1232–33). A Mongol army commanded by Subedei captured the northern Chinese Jin dynasty capital, Kaifeng, overcoming defenders equipped with gunpowder bombs. The Jin emperor committed suicide, handing control of Jin territories in northern China to the recently elected Mongol khan, Ogödei. 

- Mongol Siege of Kaifeng | Summary | Britannica 

At the time of the Mongol siege of Kaifeng, China was roughly divided between three empires, the Xi Xia, the Jurchen Jin, and the Song.

At the time of the Mongol siege of Kaifeng, China was roughly divided between three empires, the Xi Xia, the Jurchen Jin, and the Song.

The Jurchen Jin were the predecessors of the Manchus in northern China and they had been at war with the Mongols for about 20 years before Kaifeng actually became a target of Mongol ambitions.

One of the first major cities to be attacked by Mongol armies, Kaifeng was also one of the longest-lasting sieges, as its garrisons used firebombs, gunpowder, and the resources of the entire Jurchen Jin empire to fend off the assault.

The Mongols had learned well from their Chinese prisoners how to conduct sieges.

They built a 54-mile-long wooden wall of contravallation to hem in Kaifeng’s one million frightened inhabitants.

In addition to the almost 150,000 Mongols conducting the siege, the Song sent 300,000 troops to help finish off their Jin enemies. For six days, the Mongol and Song armies assaulted Kaifeng’s wall but took thousands of casualties from a dreaded weapon called a ho pao, a long bamboo tube filled with incendiaries that could be lit with a fuse or thrown into siege engines from holes in the walls to explode with such force that it left craters in the ground and burned everyone in the immediate vicinity.

Thousands of Mongol and Song Chinese troops died in assaults against Kaifeng’s stout walls.

It was clear to Subedei that a long siege was needed to reduce the Jin capital. Plague soon broke out in Kaifeng, and Subedei withdrew his forces to let the disease destroy his enemies while the Mongol and Song armies remained plague-free.

Within a month, the Jin emperor committed suicide. Soon afterwards the Mongol and Song armies broke into Kaifeng and began massacring the population.

Ogedei ordered the massacre to be stopped and aid brought to the suffering people. Subedei wanted to massacre the entire Jin population and turn the farmland into grazing fields for Mongol horses, but Ogedei overruled him.

Ogedei’s Chinese advisers had convinced him that the Jin population would provide lucrative taxes, craftsmen, and soldiers for future Mongol conquests. The Jin held out until 1234 before being overwhelmed by the combined Mongol and Song forces, ending the Jin dynasty forever.

XiXia, the capital of Zhongxing

The Xi Xia capital of Zhongxing presented a new problem for the  Mongols, who had little experience in siege warfare. 

In an earlier siege  of the walled city of Volohai, the Mongols had attempted a series of  suicidal assaults with scaling ladders that failed, and they suffered  heavy casualties in the fighting. 

Genghis offered to lift the siege of  the city provided the residents gave the Mongols 1,000 cats and 10,000  swallows in cages. The puzzled citizens of Volohai quickly granted the  request—and just as quickly lived to regret it when the animals fled  back into the city with tufts of flaming wool tied to each of them by  the Mongols. 

Soon, the whole city was ablaze. While the defenders were  occupied with putting out the fire, the Mongols scaled the now  undefended walls and massacred the inhabitants.

Genghis did not want to face a similar costly assault of the walls of  Zhongxing. 

Instead, he decided to break the dikes on the Huang River  and flood the city below. 

The plan backfired, however, when the Mongol  camp itself was flooded and hundreds of troops were swept away by the  raging waters. 

To make matters worse, the move left two feet of standing  water for miles around the city, in effect creating a ready-made moat.  

The Mongols retreated into the surrounding hills but returned in force  in 1210. Xi Xia Emperor Li Anquan, not wishing to face another siege,  agreed to give his daughter Chaka to Genghis Khan as a wife and to pay  tribute to the Mongols as a vassal state. 

Genghis demanded and received  another 1,000 young men and women, 3,000 horses, and vast quantities of  gold, jewelry, and silk. 

The Xi Xia later rebelled in 1218 and 1223  because they tired of providing the Mongols with so many men to fight in  their wars of conquest, but these rebellions were brutally put down.

Hangzhou (Lin’an), 1276.

Lin’an, or Hangzhou, was the capital city of the Song dynasty, which ruled over the much wealthier, much more powerful southern part of China.

The siege lasted five years, but a full blockade was not won for three. After the city's surrender in 1273, the Song court was in disarray and decided to send out a force of 130,000 men to meet the Mongols, but lost decisively. The Mongols took Hangzhou in 1276 and cleaned up Song loyalists in the next few years.

The city of Hangzhou refused an offer to surrender peacefully and the Mongols had to fight their way in.

The siege of Hangzhou is less famous than many of the Mongols’ other sieges, despite the splendor of Hangzhou, because the royal family, headed by a child and run by a widowed empress –  gave up and surrendered rather quickly.

Of course, once it was occupied it was burned to the ground. As usual, the Mongols massacred the city’s inhabitants.

The Mongols next attacked the Jin Dynasty of northern China, whose ruler had made the mistake of demanding Genghis Khan’s submission. From 1211 to 1214, the outnumbered Mongols ravaged the countryside and sent refugees pouring into the cities. Food shortages became a problem, and the Jin army ended up killing tens of thousands of its own peasants. In 1214 the Mongols besieged the capital of Zhongdu (now Beijing), and the Jin ruler agreed to hand over large amounts of silk, silver, gold and horses. When the Jin ruler subsequently moved his court south to the city of Kaifeng, Genghis Khan took this as a breach of their agreement and, with the help of Jin deserters, sacked Zhongdu to the ground.

Xiangyang, 1267-73.

The Song dynasty was by far the most powerful enemy that the Mongols faced in their conquest of Eurasia. It was larger, wealthier, more populated, and had a better educated populace than any other polity in the world at the time.

Once the Mongol forces occupied Xiangyang, they could travel by ships down the Han river into the Yangtze river. After the Battle of Xiangyang, China could not enjoy the protection of natural barriers any more and so it collapsed in just a few years.

- Battle of Xiangyang - Wikipedia 

The siege of Xiangyang, which lasted six years, was actually a siege of the twin cities of Xiangyang and Fancheng, which were both heavily fortified and served as the gateway to Song lands.

In battle, a historian wrote, “the Mongols made the fullest use of the  terror inspired by their physique, their ugliness, and their stench.”  Mongols were narrow-waisted and small-footed, with big heads. They  shaved their hair short on the backs and tops of their heads and left it  long at the sides. Custom forbade them from ever washing their clothes.  Also contributing to their smell might have been their diet, which at  certain times of the year was mainly mare’s milk. On marches when there  wasn’t time to milk, Mongol riders would open a vein in their horses’  necks and drink the blood, either straight or from a pouch. Mongols were  especially fond of fermented mare’s milk, called kumis. Many Mongol nobles died young from drunkenness. After victories, Mongols sometimes celebrated by drinking kumis while sitting on benches made of planks tied to the backs of their prisoners.

The Mongols had unsuccessfully laid siege to Xiangyang before, and gave up in order to conquer Russia and the entire Middle East instead.

The siege of Xiangyang, which lasted six years, was actually a siege of the twin cities of Xiangyang and Fancheng, which were both heavily fortified and served as the gateway to Song lands.

Mongol generals brought engineers from the Middle East to oversee the building and use of new trebuchets that eventually gave the invaders their victory over Xiangyang’s defenders.

With the fall of the twin cities, Mongols were free to overrun the rest of the Song dynasty’s territory. Most historians consider the sacking of Xiangyang to be the official end of the southern Song dynasty, and with it the cultural and economic power of old China.

Routing the Jin

In 1210, an emissary of the newly installed Jin emperor, Prince Wei, appeared before Genghis and demanded his submission and a tribute paid to the Jin.

An infuriated Genghis answered that it was the Jin who needed to pay tribute to him; he spat on the ground as a gesture of defiance. With his flank secured by the conquest of Xi Xia, Genghis was ready to attack the mighty Jin Dynasty.

After the Jin cavalry was defeated, the Jin pikemen, half of whom  were militia conscripts, broke and ran. They were cut down by the Mongol  cavalry or trampled by their own terrified horsemen.

In 1211, 30,000 Mongol troops under Genghis’s greatest general, Subedei, assaulted the Great Wall. The Mongols brought up groups of archers who cleared an area of wall while other Mongols scaled the wall with ladders and took possession of sections of it. The Jin rushed in reinforcements and recaptured the lost sections of the Great Wall. Thousands died on both sides as the fighting continued back and forth for several days.

The Jin brought most of their army to back up the forces defending the Great Wall. What the Jin didn’t know was that Subedei’s attack was merely a diversion.

Some 200 miles to the west, Genghis and a force of 90,000 Mongols were crossing the Great Wall at its end in the Gobi Desert. The Onguts, a tribe similar to the Mongols, were supposed to be guarding the western end of the Great Wall for the Chin, but they defected to Genghis and allowed the Mongols to cross into China unmolested.

After Genghis’s cavalry poured into China, Subedei’s force broke off its attack and crossed over into China from the end of the Great Wall as well.

The Jin forces were now out of position and moved to cut off the Mongols from Beijing. Genghis’s cavalry caught close to 200,000 Jin troops on open ground near Badger Pass, where the Jin hoped to block the Mongols from advancing any farther.

The Mongols would kill and acquire everything once they held a battle event. It was rare for there to be survivors, and the romantic notion of tending to wounded warriors was indeed a rarity.

The Jin formed for battle with the pike phalanxes and crossbowmen in the middle and armored heavy cavalry on the flanks. The outnumbered Mongol heavy cavalry engaged in a hotly contested battle on the flanks with the Jin cavalry as the densely packed Jin phalanxes and their crossbowmen held off the Mongol horse archers.

Suddenly, Subedei’s remaining 27,000 Mongols (3,000 had died at the Great Wall) showed up on the battlefield on the flanks and rear of the Jin army. The rout was on.

After the Jin cavalry was defeated, the Jin pikemen, half of whom were militia conscripts, broke and ran. They were cut down by the Mongol cavalry or trampled by their own terrified horsemen.

Bodies stacked “like rotten logs” littered the ground for more than 30 miles. Genghis then separated his army into three forces that burned, pillaged, raped, and murdered the populations of 90 cities over the next six months.

Despite the awful destruction, the Jin would not surrender. Genghis became frustrated by the enormous size and scope of a nation-state like the Jin.

He entered into negotiations with the emperor and agreed not to attack any more cities. The Mongols had already captured well over 100,000 Chinese prisoners; to make a negotiating point, Genghis had them executed.

Beijing

In response to the losses due to the invasion by Genghis Khan, the Jin moved their capital farther south, from Beijing to Kaifeng, and began rebuilding their armies.

Genghis was angered by the move, which he considered a betrayal of trust, and looked for an opportunity to attack the Jin again.

In the spring of 1213, the Jin attacked the Mongol-allied Khitan tribe in Manchuria.

Genghis came to the aid of his Khitan allies and attacked the Jin armies in Manchuria, which fell back to their fortifications at Nankuo Pass.

The Mongols were blocked from attacking Beijing by the well-fortified Jin positions at the pass and by the eastern sections of the Great Wall. The Mongols headed into the pass and then retreated. It was all a ruse.

Throughout history, Mongolia and China have had complicated relations. The Mongolian has the most robust environment; all the people are nomads who make their economy very poorly. The harsh environment makes it so tricky to survival, so the Mongolians always united to invade other countries.

The Jin forces hurried to trap the fleeing Mongols, recklessly leaving their fortified positions to pursue them.

The Mongols led the Jin forces into their own trap and destroyed most of the Jin army.

Those Jin troops that had not pursued the Mongols fled their fortified positions and retreated to the Great Wall, with the Mongols in hot pursuit.

A khanate was a political entity ruled by a khan. Historically speaking, the ruler of a Mongolian tribe was given the title ‘Khan’. Later on, this title was adopted by many Muslim societies. Although there were many khanates throughout history, the most famous ones are those that succeeded the Mongol Empire.  

During the 13th century, the Mongol Empire was established by Genghis Khan. To signify his position as the supreme ruler of the Mongols, Genghis Khan assumed the title ‘Khagan’, which may be translated to mean ‘Great Khan’. The successors of Genghis Khan continued to use the title ‘Khagan’, though it was not long before the empire began to fragment.

The Mongols caught and destroyed the remaining Jin troops as they tried frantically to retreat through the Great Wall. The Mongols then passed through the open gates of the Great Wall.

The Mongols began besieging the more than one million residents of Beijing. Beijing was a tough nut to crack, with walls and moats that extended more than nine miles around the city, and was watched over by 900 towers.

The city’s defenders had double and triple crossbow ballistae and trebuchet catapults that fired clay pots filled with naphtha-like incendiaries that exploded and set on fire whatever they hit.

The Jin also introduced one of the first poison gas weapons in history, firing projectiles bound in wax and paper of 70 pounds of dried human waste, ground-up poisonous herbs, roots, and beetles packed in gunpowder.

The projectiles were lit with a fuse and fired from a trebuchet, creating a deadly cloud of toxic fumes that killed or disabled anyone unfortunate enough to breathe in the poisonous dust.

The Jin also had clay-pot firebombs filled with incendiaries to throw from the walls and hot oil to pour down on attackers.

The Mongols launched attacks against the walls with ladders, but lost dozens of men to the incendiaries and the hot oil.

The Mongols then forced Jin prisoners to build and push forward siege engines and serve as human shields for the attackers. Jin soldiers would recognize family and friends among the captives and hold their fire.

Many Jin prisoners were killed from missed crossbow fire aimed at the Mongols and from the bombs used to burn down the siege engines before they could get into the city.

The Mongols and their Chinese human shields dug trenches covered by cowhide up to the walls to undermine them, but the Jin dropped firebombs from chains onto the trenches that exploded with such force that they left only smoldering craters and no intact human remains.

The siege dragged on for a year as starvation and disease began killing people on both sides of the walls, but the defenders, with more than a million people to feed, had the worst of it.

Two Jin relief columns loaded down with food were intercepted by the Mongols, and some defenders in Beijing turned to cannibalism to survive.

In June 1215, the Jin commander escaped to Kaifeng, where he was executed by the emperor for leaving his post.

The Jin also introduced one of the first poison gas weapons in  history, firing projectiles bound in wax and paper of 70 pounds of dried  human waste, ground-up poisonous herbs, roots, and beetles packed in  gunpowder.

The desperate people of Beijing then opened the gates of the city to the Mongols, who ransacked the city and massacred thousands in revenge for their ordeal. The city was set on fire. Thousands of girls ran to the city’s steepest walls and threw themselves to their deaths to escape the flames and the unwanted amorous attention of the Mongols.

A year later, the ambassador of Khwarezm described seeing mountains of bones inside and outside of what had been the greatest city in the world.

Moscow, 1382.

By 1382, Mongol power in Russia had waned considerably.

So much so, in fact, that Moscow’s rulers felt confident enough to challenge the authority of the Golden Horde on the field of battle.

Russia around 1382.

After a string of light victories against Mongol cavalry earlier in the year, the Mongols showed up with a large force on the doorstep of Moscow, promising to spare its inhabitants if it surrendered.

The poor fools in Moscow believed the Mongols, and 24,000 people were slaughtered as the Mongols sacked the city once again.

Moscow believed the Mongols, and 24,000 people were slaughtered as the Mongols sacked the city once again.

The siege of Moscow (one of many) reasserted Mongol control over Russia for nearly 100 more years before the Russians were finally able throw off the infamous yoke of the Golden Horde.

When the Mongols invaded the Russian town of  Yaroslavl in 1238, almost nobody was spared. 

Hundreds were slaughtered  brutally and dumped into mass graves as the town was completely sacked.  Nearly 800 years later, researchers have given us a chilling glimpse of  the victims left behind.
 
After the slaughter, Mongol raiders buried the dead in pits by the  dozens with no markers to distinguish who these poor victims even were, wrote LiveScience.  

But one pit of the dead in particular stood out after scientists of the  Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology began genetically analyzing  three of its 15 corpses.
 
Researchers found that the three murdered townsfolk buried together  in the dirt were a woman, her daughter, and her grandson. 

Moscow’s  research team found that the eldest of the three corpses was at least 55  years old before she died. Her daughter was between 30 and 40, while  her grandson was younger than 20. 

They were buried in one of nine pits  found at Yaroslavl, which altogether held more than 300 bodies.

Nearly 300 bodies were buried across nine pits. The son, mother, and grandmother were buried in a pit of 15 people.
Nearly 300 bodies were buried across nine pits. The son, mother, and grandmother were buried in a pit of 15 people.
As for Yaroslavl as a whole, Mongols led by Genghis Khan’s grandson  Batu Khan destroyed the town not long after advancing into Russia.  

Nonetheless, enough buildings and artifacts survived to tell us a little  something about the area, namely that it was a wealthy one. Scientists  determined this by noting the tooth decay present in the three bodies in  question and noting that the honey and sugar that could cause this were  only available to those with substantial means at the time.
 
Beyond the three generations of one family left slaughtered in a pit,  the scene at Yaroslavl showed just how brutal its conquest was. Batu  Khan invaded towns like Yaroslavl with utter indifference, ultimately  taking more than a dozen places in present-day Russia. 
 
In just five years, he wiped out seven percent of Russia’s  population. 

When the Russian Grand Prince refused to submit to the  Mongols, Genghis Khan’s grandson simply burned the capital city to the  ground — with the royal family and every inhabitant inside.

The skulls and bones all showed signs of violence. They were either punctured, broken, burned, or a combination of all three.

The brutality that has made the conquest of Yaroslavl unforgettable  for many Russians was certainly on display in the way the victims’  bodies were treated after death.
 
Prior analysis suggested that the three family members, for example,  were buried in February 1238. But recent evidence in the form of  preserved maggots in their remains indicated otherwise. In fact, new  evidence shows that the bodies were probably decomposing in the open air  for months before they were buried. 
 
“These people were killed, and their bodies remained lying in the  snow for a fairly long time,” Engovatova said. 

“In April or May, flies  started to multiply on the remains, and in late May or early June, they  were buried in a pit on the homestead, which is where they probably had  lived.”
 
Fittingly, Engovatova described Yaroslavl after the attack as a “city  drowned in blood.” 

The skeletons of the three family members as well as  the remains of the other victims — including punctured, broken, and  burned bones in the hundreds of buried bodies — certainly suggest that  to be true.

Kiev, 1240.

There is a convincing argument to be made that during the medieval era in Europe, the Slavic world’s cultural, political, and economic epicenter was Kiev rather than Moscow or Warsaw.

The Mongols had so many oxen and cattle that they were able to carry all  kinds of stuff with them—entire houses, and even temples—on giant  carts. Observers said the number of Mongol horses was beyond counting,  every warrior possessing many remounts. 

Mongols spent so much time on  horseback that they grew up bowlegged. If a Mongol had to move any  distance farther than a hundred paces, he jumped on a horse and rode. A  contemporary Russian annal describes the Mongol army approaching the  walls of Kiev: 

“The rattling of their innumerable carts, the bellowing  of camels and cattle, the neighing of horses, and the wild battle-cry,  were so overwhelming as to render inaudible the conversation of the  people inside the city.” 

Of necessity, the Mongols did most of their  conquering and plundering during the warmer seasons, when there was  sufficient grass for their herds. 

-The New Yorker
Alexander and Frederick the Great brilliantly exploited the military foundations laid by their fathers. The genius of Julius Caesar and Napoleon was nourished by the might and wealth of Rome and France. Of the iconic conquerors, only Genghis built from scratch, spending over 20 years bringing the warring tribes of Mongolia under his rule, before exploding in campaigns of conquest at all points of the compass. The skill and mobility of Mongol horsemen was legendary; their archers and lancers were devastating. By his death in 1227, his armies had conquered as far west as the Caspian, annihilating the Khwarizm Empire, and crushed the Chin and Xi Xia kingdoms of northern China. Under his son, Ogedei, the Mongols advanced into China, India, and eastern Europe, where they routed Christian armies at Legnica and Mohi (1241). After destroying both the Abbasid and Ayyubid caliphates, the Mongols finally found their nemesis in the Mamluks at Ayn Jalut in Syria (1260).

When the Mongols invaded Europe and plundered Kiev in 1240, the collapse of Kiev indeed proved crucial to the invading army’s success in pillaging Europe’s surprisingly defenseless countryside.

Unlike China, which had a densely populated countryside and a few well-fortified cities, or the Middle East, which had virtually no countryside and many well-fortified urban areas, Europe was comparatively rural, or semi-rural .

This meant that small urban areas like Kiev fell easily to the Mongol hordes, but it also made it harder for Mongol administrators to govern and tougher for the Mongol military to plunder, siege, and demoralize the populace.

None of this stopped the Mongols from wreaking havoc on eastern Europe, of course, but it does help to explain, in part, why khanates in Europe did not share the successes of their contemporaries in the Middle East, western India, and China.

Kiev has a moderately grid like layout- much like the Greeks. It is probably like this because the Romans copied the Greek grid layout, and Ukraine was apart of the Roman Empire when it was established.

Oh, by the way, the Mongols slaughtered 48,000 of the 50,000 people living in Kiev when the city’s defenses collapsed.

Baghdad, 1258.

All is fine, peaceful, then all of a sudden all Hell breaks loose. It could happen to you, at any time, and at any place.
All is fine, peaceful, then all of a sudden all Hell breaks loose. It could happen to you, at any time, and at any place.

The fall of Baghdad was in a class of it’s own.

(General) Tamerlane’s thing was building pyramids out of heads. 

When his forces  took Baghdad, he spared almost no one, and ordered that each of his  ninety thousand soldiers bring him a head (some sources say two) or lose  his own life. 

The thousands of heads were piled into towers. 

Tamerlane  also said not to destroy hospitals and mosques, a small concession by a  Muslim to the former capital of his faith. 

Nonetheless, thanks to him  and to Hulagu, almost no architecture from the golden days of Harun  al-Rashid has survived. 

Baghdad would not be a city of any consequence  for another five hundred years, until its strategic location and Iraq’s  oil attracted the attention of world powers.

Many Muslims believe that the Mongol destruction of Baghdad and of the caliphate was the worst misfortune ever to befall Islam. With it, the faith’s first period  of flowering came to a decisive close (though its actual decline had,  of course, begun earlier). 

Historical speculations about what might have  been if the disaster had never occurred go in various directions, some  tending toward the wild. 

A book on Arab cultural identity published in  the nineteen-fifties quoted a high official in the Syrian government who  said that if the Mongols hadn’t destroyed the libraries of Baghdad,  Arab science would have produced the atom bomb long before the West.  

Recently, when TV stations everywhere were replaying the video of a U.S.  marine shooting a wounded prisoner in a mosque in Falluja, a newspaper  story about Arab reaction to the incident said that a retired army  officer in Cairo said that the Americans were “acting like Genghis  Khan.” He had the wrong Mongol, but his drift was ancient and familiar. 

 -The New Yorker 

Baghdad was the technological, cultural, and societal center of the civilized world.

The walls of Bagdad.
The walls of Bagdad.
As  happens with most golden eras, Baghdad’s quickly ended. 

A century after  Harun al-Rashid, the city’s influence and glory had declined. Political  changes made the caliph less powerful, limiting his temporal domain to  Baghdad and nearest regions, though Sunni Muslims in other places still  accepted his spiritual authority. The city remained a center of wealth  and commerce, and an imposing sight architecturally. 

A Spanish pilgrim,  Ibn Jubayr, who visited Baghdad in 1184, wrote, “The Tigris . . . runs  between its eastern and its western parts . . . like a string of pearls  between two breasts.” He noted the beauty of the caliph’s palace  reflected in the water. 

Caliph Mustasim, the thirty-seventh in the  Abbassid line, who became caliph in 1242, had confidence that his house  would reign until Resurrection Day. Rumors of the approach of the Mongol  army in 1257 did not worry him. During the reign of his father, the  armies of the caliph had been among a very few opponents to defeat and  turn back the Mongols.

From  deep in Mongolia (General) Hulagu set out in 1253, marching westward at the head  of a large force that included siege-engine experts of several  nationalities. 

His trebuchets could hurl huge rocks, and smaller stones  covered in flaming naphtha, and his arbalesters could shoot bolts dipped  in burning pitch a distance of twenty-five hundred paces. 

Hulagu’s  brother Mongke Khan told him to subdue the people he encountered as he  continued all the way to Egypt, being kind to those who submitted and  killing or enslaving the rest. 

The Mongols took eighteen months crossing  Asia as far as Afghanistan. 

There and in the mountains of Persia they  stopped to conquer the Assassins, an extreme Shiite sect that terrorized  neighboring rulers by sending young men on suicide missions to kill  them. The young men were drugged with hashish (source of the word  “assassin”) and were told that when they died they would immediately go  to Paradise, where women and other pleasures awaited. 

In no-quarter  sieges, Hulagu battered the Assassins out of their mountain fortresses  with his heavy weapons, and then destroyed them root and branch. 

Later  historians agreed that in this, at least, he did the world a favor.

By  1257, Hulagu had reached western Persia. 

From there he sent emissaries  to the caliph telling him to raze the walls of Baghdad and fill in the  moat and come in person to make obeisance to Hulagu.  

The caliph replied that with all of Islam ready to defend him, he did  not fear. 

He advised Hulagu to go back where he came from. 

The Mongol  army had recently received reinforcements from other Mongol hordes, and a  contingent of Christian cavalry from Georgia. 

Perhaps the Mongols had  eight hundred and fifty thousand soldiers; certainly they had more than a  hundred thousand. 

In November of 1257, they marched on toward Baghdad,  dividing as they approached so that their forces would surround the  city. The caliph sent an army to stop those approaching from the west,  and repulsed them in an early battle. 

In the next encounter, the Mongols  broke some dikes and flooded the ground behind the caliph’s army, and  slaughtered or drowned them all.

Mustasim, the caliph, was not of a  character equal to such large problems. He is described as a weak,  vacillating layabout who liked to drink sherbet and keep company with  musicians and clowns. 

Worse, from a strategic point of view, Mustasim  had recently angered the Shiites by various insults and offenses, such  as throwing the poem of a famous Shiite poet in the river. 

Now vengeful Shiites volunteered help to the Mongols in Mosul and other places along their march. 

The caliph’s vizier, or chief minister, was himself a  Shiite of uncertain loyalty. Islamic opinion afterward held that the  vizier, al-Alkamzi, vilely betrayed the caliph and conspired with the  Mongols; an exhortation in Muslim school books used to say, “Let him be  cursed of God who curses not al-Alkamzi.” 

As fighting began, Hulagu,  acknowledging the importance of Shiite support, prudently posted guard  detachments of a hundred Mongol horsemen at the most sacred Shiite  shrines in Najef and Karbala.

On January 29, 1258, Hulagu’s forces  took up a position on the eastern outskirts of Baghdad and began a  bombardment. 

Soon they had breached the outer wall. 

The caliph, who had  been advised against escaping by his vizier, offered to negotiate.  Hulagu, with the city practically in his hands, refused. 

The upshot was  that the caliph and his retinue came out of the city, the remainder of  his army followed, they laid down their arms, and the Mongols killed  almost everybody. 

Hulagu told Baghdad’s Christians to stay in a church,  which he put off-limits to his soldiers. Then, for a period of seven  days, the Mongols sacked the city, killing (depending on the source) two  hundred thousand, or eight hundred thousand, or more than a million.  

The Mongols’ Georgian Christian allies were said to have particularly  distinguished themselves in slaughter. 

Plunderers threw away their  swords and filled their scabbards with gold. Silver and jewels and gold  piled up in great heaps around Hulagu’s tent. 

Fire consumed the caliph’s  palace, and the smoke from its beams of aloe wood, sandalwood, and  ebony filled the air with fragrance for a distance of a hundred li. (A li equalled five hundred bow lengths—a hundred li  was maybe thirty miles.) 

So many books from Baghdad’s libraries were  flung into the Tigris that a horse could walk across on them. The river  ran black with scholars’ ink and red with the blood of martyrs.

The  stories of what Hulagu did to the caliph vary. 

One says that Hulagu  toyed with him a while, dining with him and discussing theology and  pretending to be his guest. A famous account describes how Hulagu  imprisoned the caliph in a roomful of treasure and brought him gold on a  tray instead of food. The caliph protested that he could not eat gold,  and Hulagu asked him why he hadn’t used his money to strengthen his army  and defend against the Mongols. The caliph said, “That was the will of  God.” Hulagu replied, “What will happen to you is the will of God,  also,” leaving him among the treasure to starve.

Many sources  agree that there was fear of an earthquake or other shock to nature  occurring if the caliph’s sacred blood was spilled. Learned Shiites  advised Hulagu that no catastrophes had followed the bloody deaths of  John the Baptist, Jesus Christ, or the Shiite saint Hosein, so he should  go ahead. 

To be safe, Hulagu had the caliph wrapped in a carpet and  then trodden to death by horses. 

He also killed all the caliph’s family,  except for his youngest son and a daughter. The daughter was shipped  off to Mongolia to be a slave in the harem of Mongke Khan. 

-The New Yorker

The Mongols took all of 12 days to destroy several centuries worth of cultural, political, and scientific achievements. All was left in ruin…

Hulagu left three thousand Mongols in Baghdad to rebuild it, but they  did not accomplish much. 

Decades later, it was still mostly a ruin.  

Some irrigation systems that the Mongol army destroyed were not repaired  until Iraq began to get money from its oil in the twentieth century.  Mongols had no real talent for building, anyway. 

Plague and famine and  disintegration followed the Mongol incursion. Places they conquered  sometimes had to be re-subdued. 

The city of Mosul, which had submitted  almost eagerly to Mongol rule at first, changed its attitude afterward,  when a new malik, or prince, came to power there. Under his leadership  the inhabitants of Mosul—Kurds, Arabs, and some tribal people—rebelled  and forted themselves up behind the city walls, and the Mongols put them  under siege.

During one attack, a number of Mongol soldiers  climbed over Mosul’s walls, only to be surrounded and killed to a man.  The defenders then cut off the Mongols’ heads, put the heads in a  catapult, and fired them back at the Mongols outside. 

This effrontery  brought out Hulagu’s sternest side. 

After his forces finally took the  city, he ordered the malik to be brought to him. Then he had the malik  fastened tightly inside a fresh sheepskin and left in the sun, where  vermin ate him alive for a month until he died.

Aleppo, 1260.

In 1219 Genghis Khan went to war against the Khwarezm Empire in  present-day Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Iran. 

The sultan  there had agreed to a trade treaty, but when the first caravan arrived  its goods were stolen and its merchants were killed. 

The sultan then  murdered some of Genghis Khan’s ambassadors. 

Despite once again being  outnumbered, the Mongol horde swept through one Khwarezm city after  another, including Bukhara, Samarkand and Urgench. 

Skilled workers such  as carpenters and jewelers were usually saved, while aristocrats and  resisting soldiers were killed. Unskilled workers, meanwhile, were often  used as human shields during the next assault. 

No one knows with any  certainty how many people died during Genghis Khan’s wars, in part  because the Mongols propagated their vicious image as a way of spreading  terror. 

-History.com

The Mongol siege of Aleppo wasn’t all that noteworthy, and the city itself wasn’t all that important to any of the players involved in the Mongol conquest of the caliphate, but Aleppo is today a famous city (notwithstanding former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson’s famous gaffe) for all the wrong reasons.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Aleppo fell to the Mongols in six days, and like most of the Muslim cities that were conquered by the Mongol hordes, Aleppo’s citizens were callously slaughtered.

The Great Mosque of Aleppo, one of the few bright spots in the city’s long, mostly sad history, was also razed. (The Mongol general who led the siege, Hulagu Khan, executed some his local ally’s leaders, who were Christian, for this travesty.)

Bukhara, 1220.

Located along the Silk Road, Bukhara was at the time of the Mongol invasion of Persia a flourishing center of intellectual and commercial activity, and not just throughout Persia but the whole Muslim world.

Scholars, merchants, and mercenaries from Bukhara were famed as far away as China and Germany.

The walls of Bukhara are still standing today.
The walls of Bukhara are still standing today.

It is estimated that 30,000 people died after the Mongols conquered Bukhara, a result of  most of the city surrendering but not the garrison.

Thirty thousand was a “moderate” number of people to be killed for Bukhara’s equally moderate resistance to the Mongol hordes.

Bukhara is a city found in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. It is located 39.77 latitude and 64.43 longitude and it is situated at elevation 229 meters above sea level.

The Mongol invasion of Persia, which was ruled by the Khwarazmian dynasty at the time, happened just as the empire was emerging from expansionary conquests of its own. This meant that the Khwarazmians, while technically governing Persia, had little actual power in the region, and the resistance to the marauding Mongols highlights Persian weakness well.

Samarkand, 1220.

... his armies moved west and targeted Persia in 1219, where the Sultan had,  in an act of extreme foolhardiness, deliberately provoked Genghis by  shaving off the beards of two of his ambassadors and killing a third.  

Samarkand, that glorious city on the Silk Road, fell in 1220, despite  the defenders’ super-weapon of two dozen war elephants. 

McLynn dismisses  the oft-quoted figure of 50,000 killed there in a single day (note the  limited time span), but admits ‘it is clear that the death toll was  terrific and unacceptable’. 

-Spectator

Samarkand, the makeshift, emergency capital city of the Khwarazmian dynasty, was much larger than Bukhara and much better fortified. (Samarkand, was made a legitimate, non-emergency capital by Tamerlane 150 years after the Mongol siege and conquest.)

Samarkand, alternatively Samarqand, is a city in south-eastern Uzbekistan and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia. There is evidence of human activity in the area of the city from the late Paleolithic era, though there is no direct evidence of when Samarkand was founded; some theories propose that it was founded between the 8th and 7th centuries B.C

The Mongols used prisoners as body shields during the assault, and pulled off a brilliant tactical stunt when they collectively feigned retreat, drawing out the Persian garrison, only to turn on the careless attackers and slaughter them in the open field of battle.

Due to the fame of Samarkand far and wide, Genghis Khan spared the inhabitants of the city but did loot it and conscripted another estimated 60,000 for military service or craftsmanship. This left Samarkand, glorious from the time of Alexander the Great, empty of people and empty of riches.

Lahore, 1241.

Lahore is today the largest city in the Punjabi world, and one of the most important cities in all of Pakistan.

In 1241, when the Mongols laid siege to it for the first time, Lahore had already been abandoned for Delhi by elites who were worried about the unrest caused by the Mongol invasions in neighboring countries.

Lahore is a city found in Punjab, Pakistan. It is located 31.55 latitude and 74.34 longitude and it is situated at elevation 224 meters above sea level.
Lahore is a city found in Punjab, Pakistan. It is located 31.55 latitude and 74.34 longitude and it is situated at elevation 224 meters above sea level.

When Persia fell, for example, some of the Khwarazmian dynasty’s elite fled to Lahore, where they conquered the city and tried to establish a new dynasty.

The locals retook Lahore from the fleeing Persians, but this confusion only weakened the city and by the time the Mongol horde arrived in 1241, Lahore was ripe for the plucking.

The Mongols soon lost the city to yet another reconquest by the locals, but this back-and-forth between the marauding Mongols and the local elites rendered Lahore, once a prominent center of Islamic education and culture, a frontier urban area, fit only for fighting and brusque commerce with non-urban peoples.

Lahore’s frontier status, while bad for this once-prestigious city, enable the Indian subcontinent to largely avoid the fate of China, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.

The Chinese were the most powerful and wealthiest country on the planet in the 1200s. China had the ability to put more soldiers in the field than many other countries had in total population! For a group of less than 70,000 horse archers to conquer such an enormous power without writing, sophisticated siege technology, or a concrete military system like the Chinese had is almost unimaginable. However, Chinese sources were stunned with the speed and efficiency with which the Mongols were able to sweep through their lands.

Genghis Khan Diverted A River Through An Enemy’s Birthplace To Erase It Off The Map

When Genghis Khan found the Muslim kingdom of Khwarezmia, he did something unusual: He took the peaceful route. A group of diplomats were sent to the city, hoping to establish a trade route and diplomatic ties.

The governor of Khwarezmia, though, didn’t trust them. He thought the diplomats were part of a Mongolian conspiracy and had them executed. He killed the next group they sent, too.

Genghis Khan was furious. He had tried to be nice, and he’d been  repaid with dead diplomats. He set up an army of 200,000 soldiers,  attacked, and completely destroyed Khwarezmia.

Even after he’d won, Khan sent two armies to burn down every castle, town, and farm they found to make sure that no hint of Khwarezmia survived. According to one story, he even diverted a river to run through the emperor’s birthplace, just to make sure it would never appear on a map again.

Genghis Khan Erased A Kingdom From History For Not Helping Him

When Genghis Khan attacked Khwarezmia, he asked the conquered kingdom of Xi Xia to send him troops. They refused. Xi Xia tried to take a bold stand against their oppressor, and they quickly regretted it. The Mongolian army swarmed through Xi Xia, destroying everything that they found. They systematically exterminated every member of the population.

By the end, Xi Xia was erased from history.

It took until the mid-20th century for archaeologists to unearth stones that had their writing on them. In the meantime, every word they had spoken was forgotten.

Genghis Khan died during the battle, most likely from being thrown from his horse. Still, the Mongolian army carried out his work. They slaughtered every person they found, even after their leader was dead and their enemy had surrendered.

The Yuan Dynasty

In 1251, Mongke was elected Great Khan and decided to intensify the war with the Song Dynasty.

In 1253, some 100,000 Mongols and their Chinese allies captured Dali and Yunnan and crossed through Laos to attack the Song Empire’s southern flank.

The Mongols  clashed with more than 100,000 Song troops and 1,000 war elephants near  the Laotian border.
The Mongols clashed with more than 100,000 Song troops and 1,000 war elephants near the Laotian border.

The next year, the Mongols clashed with more than 100,000 Song troops and 1,000 war elephants near the Laotian border. The Mongol horses would not charge the elephants, so the Mongols dismounted and fired flaming arrows to kill or enrage the great animals, which became uncontrollable and randomly killed men on both sides.

The battle degenerated into a chaotic hand-to-hand battle.

Both armies virtually annihilated each other, and the Mongols withdrew into Laos with only 20,000 men.

In 1257, Mongke made the mistake of invading Da Viet (North Vietnam) and lost most of the rest of his men and horses to disease in the intense tropical conditions.

In 1258, Mongke pulled together 300,000 Mongol and Chinese soldiers to face a massive army of over 400,000 Song Chinese troops under General Wang Jian in Sichuan.

In 1259, the two sides met at the Battle of  Diaoyucheng. During the battle, Mongke collapsed and died from cholera  and dysentery. The battle ended in stalemate, with more than 100,000  dead on both sides, including Wang Jian.

The new commanding Song general, Jia Sidao, collaborated with Genghis Khan’s grandson, Prince Kublai, and worked out a deal whereby the Song army would occupy Sichuan under Mongol authority.

The Death of Genghis, the Ascension of Ogedei

Despite the overwhelming victories, the Mongols were trapped in a long war of attrition in China.

Rather than finish the conquest of the Jin, Genghis became sidetracked in 1217 in the destruction of Khwarezm (Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan), an Islamic holocaust in which more than a million people were massacred by the Mongols.

During the campaign to conquer Khwarezm, the Mongols brought in thousands of Chinese engineers, siege engines, and crews to help reduce Islamic fortifications.

In 1223, Genghis turned his attention back on the Jin.

He sent a trusted general, Mukhulai, with 100,000 troops to attack Chang’an, which was defended by 200,000 Jin troops. Mukhulai became ill and died. As soon as this happened, the Xi Xia troops abandoned the Mongol army, which in turn caused the siege to be abandoned.

Genghis then hunted down and killed the Xi Xia troops who had deserted his army.

Genghis himself died in 1227, probably from typhus, while planning yet another massive invasion of Jin.

His son, Ogedei, ascended the throne and sent envoys to the Jin, who promptly had them executed. Meanwhile, Subedei was to conduct one last effort to conquer the Jin in 1231. The Jin armies all faced north to prevent Subedei’s 120,000 Mongols from crossing the Yellow River. Subudei sent a general named Tuli with 30,000 Mongols on an arduous journey across the western Chinese mountains of Sichuan and through Song territory into southern Jin territory.

The women of China fared poorly once the Mongol invaders captured a city.

The Jin panicked, thinking the Mongol force was much bigger than it was.

The Jin repositioned the majority of their troops to the south and began pursuing the Mongols with a massive force of over 300,000 men. The Mongols retreated as planned into the Sichuan Mountains as the huge Jin army followed them.

The Mongols fought a tenacious rearguard action with their archers in the rough mountain terrain, killing thousands of pursuing Jin. The Mongols led the Jin higher and deeper into the snow-covered mountains, where additional thousands froze to death or fell off the icy trails.

The Mongols circled back through the mountain passes and destroyed the Jin baggage trains, adding starvation to the woes the Jin troops were already enduring.

Once Subedei had the main Jin army trapped in the mountains of Sichuan, he moved his 120,000 Mongols across the Yellow River against the much smaller Jin forces.

The Jin belatedly realized their mistake and began desperately trying to get their main army out of the mountains to defend the capital.

The Jin retreat turned into a rout as Tuli’s and Subedei’s forces massacred the entire Jin army without mercy on the open ground within sight of Kaifeng.

A Five-Year Siege of the twin fortress cities of Xiangyang and Fancheng.

In 1265, a Chinese allied naval force destroyed 100 Song ships in a river battle, and Mongol troops defeated the isolated Song army to regain control of part of Sichuan.

The key to conquering the Song was capturing the twin fortress cities of Xiangyang and Fancheng.

Both cities had thick walls with wide moats protecting the convergence of the Han and Yellow Rivers.

The city walls of Xiangyang today.

In 1268, the Mongols built fortifications downriver from Xiangyang on the Han River to cut off resupply of the city by ship. Never the less, most Song ships were able to run by the Mongol forts and resupply Xiangyang and Fancheng.

Chinese ships allied with the Mongols were brought in to block the passage between the Mongol forts. More than 20 miles of siege lines were built around Xiangyang and Fancheng on both sides of the Han River.

Xiangyang, a prefecture-level city in central China's Hubei Province, has a history of over 2,000 years. It was the location of major battles during the Three Kingdoms period (220-280 A.D.) and the Southern Song period (1127-1279 A.D.). The city is well-known for its city wall, which is very old but reserved well. To better develop its tourism as well as to protect its historical relics, the local government has poured hundreds of millions of yuan to restore the Three Kingdom remains since 2006.

The Mongols and their Chinese engineers set up trebuchets and began firing incendiary clay bombs and exploding biochemical projectiles they had learned from the Jin at the siege of Beijing in 1215.

The Song fired incendiary bombs and biochemical projectiles at the Mongols as well, causing great destruction and loss of life on both sides. The Mongols had to pull back after their wooden siege walls and trebuchets caught fire from the bombardments, leaving the Mongols with no cover, while the Song defenders took shelter behind the twin cities’ stout rock and masonry walls.

The fortification of the city of Xi’an, the ancient capital of Shaanxi province, in the center of the Guanzhong Plain, represents one of the oldest and best preserved Chinese city walls. The wall was built in the 14th century by Zhu Yuanzhang, the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, under the advice of a hermit who told him to “built high walls, store abundant food supplies and take time to be an Emperor,” so that he could fortify the city and unify the other states. After the establishment of the Ming dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang followed his advice and began to enlarge the wall built initially during the old Tang Dynasty (618 - 907), creating the modern Xian City Wall. It's the most complete city wall that has survived in China, as well being one of the largest ancient military defensive systems in the world.

In 1269, Kublai Khan sent another 20,000 troops to replace those in the previous year’s fighting. More than 3,000 Song ships attacked the Mongol forts on the Han River in an effort to break the blockade, but 500 ships were sunk by Kublai Khan’s brilliant admiral Liu Cheng, who had defected to the Mongols.

Mongol and Chinese troops clambered aboard the Song vessels and beheaded hundreds of Song soldiers and sailors.

The besieged Song tried several unsuccessful attempts to break out but were defeated each time with thousands of casualties.

In 1271, 100 Song ships successfully broke through a boom across the Han River to bring 3,000 soldiers and much-needed supplies to reinforce Xiangyang.

The original Xi’an city wall was started in 194 BCE and took 4 years to finish. Upon completion, the wall measured 25.7 km in length and 12–16 m in thickness at the base, and enclosed an area of 36 square km. The first city wall was built of earth, quick lime, and glutinous rice extract, tamped together. Later, the wall was totally enclosed with bricks.

Xi’an's city wall, after its enlargement in the Ming Dynasty, stands 12 meters high. It is 12-14 meters across the top, 15-18 meters thick at bottom, and 13.7 kilometers in length and encircles an area of roughly 14 square kilometers within the city. There is a rampart every 120 meters that extend out from the main wall and allow soldiers to see enemies trying to climb the wall. The distance between every two ramparts is just within the range of arrow shot from either side.

The siege dragged on with no real advantage for either side until Kublai Khan decided to send a Muslim engineer captured during the siege of Baghdad to China to build a giant 40-ton trebuchet that could hurl 220-pound projectiles more than 600 feet to breach the cities’ walls.

After a few days, a breach was opened and Mongol troops stormed through to meet the Chinese defenders.

For days, men fought and died in the vicious battle at the breach.

There are four main gates on the wall, which were the only way to go into and out of town in ancient times. Each gate is overlooked by sentries on three towers. A wide moat ran around the city. Over the moat, there used to be huge drawbridges, which would cut off the way in and out of the city, once lifted.

The Song were able to throw more soldiers into Fancheng to defend the breach from a pontoon bridge that connected Xiangyang across the Han River.

The Mongols called off the assault on the breach and used their giant trebuchet to widen the breach and destroy the pontoon bridge. Incendiary bombs fired from the trebuchet struck the bridge and consumed it.

With Fancheng cut off from reinforcements, the Mongols assaulted the widened breach. The disheartened defenders held on for several hours before resistance broke and the Mongols poured into the city and began massacring the inhabitants.

The Mongols took the last 3,000 Song  soldiers and 7,000 inhabitants to the walls facing Xiangyang and in full  view slit the prisoners’ throats and threw them off the wall.

The Mongols then dismantled their giant trebuchet and repositioned it across the river facing Xiangyang. The first shot from the trebuchet forced a tower to collapse in a great crash as the Song inhabitants screamed in terror.

Kublai Khan offered to spare the inhabitants and to reward the Song commander if he would surrender the city.

Xiangyang was surrendered and the Song heartland was open to the Mongols. The siege had lasted from 1268 to 1273.

The impregnable fortress of Yang-lo.

In 1274, the Mongols headed down the Han River, bypassing Song fortresses and emerging onto the flood plains of the Yangtze River. The Mongols now faced the impregnable fortress of Yang-lo.

The Mongols sacrificed several thousand Chinese troops on a frontal attack on Yang-lo while most of the Mongol army, carrying a number of ships, bypassed the fort and crossed the river upstream.

Then the Mongol and Chinese fleet came down the Yangtze and attacked the Song fleet from both front and behind. The Song boats were packed so close together on the river that incendiary bombs fired from Mongol catapults set much of the Song fleet on fire.

Thousands perished in the flames.

Fortress Yang-lo and the 100,000 cut-off Song troops surrendered the next day.

Genghis Khan Exterminated 1.7 Million People To Avenge One Person

The marriages might have been strategic alliances, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t any love involved. One of Genghis Khan’s daughters loved her husband, a man name Toquchar. Genghis Khan loved him, too, as his favorite son-in-law.

When Toquchar was killed by an archer from Nishapur, his wife demanded vengeance. Genghis Khan’s troops attacked Nishapur and slaughtered every person there. By some estimates, 1,748,000 people were killed. Other historians dispute that number, but there’s no doubt that his armies killed everyone they found.

Women, children, babies, and even dogs and cats were tracked down and murdered.

Then they were beheaded, and their skulls were piled into pyramids—a request by Genghis Khan’s daughter to ensure that no one got away with a simple wounding.

Acts of Desperation

In 1275, Jia Sidao set out from the capital of Hangzhou at the head of 100,000 Song troops and another fleet of 2,500 ships in a last-ditch effort to stop the Mongol juggernaut.

 Jia  Sidao quote.

A massive cavalry and infantry battle took place on both sides of the river. The Mongols and their Chinese allies pushed back the Song army and boarded their ships from both ends of the river, beheading thousands of Song troops and capturing 2,000 ships.

It was another overwhelming victory for the Mongols.

On February 21, 1276, the boy emperor Zhao Xian came out of Hangzhou, bowed toward the north in obeisance to Kublai Khan, and turned over the capital and the rest of the Song Empire to the Mongols.

The Mongol conquest of China had taken 74 years and claimed the lives of as many as 25 million Chinese from war, plague, and famine.

As much as Mongolians love Genghis Khan, Iranians hate him. And there is  a legit reason for that. The Khwarazmian Empire was located in the  territory of Iran, and it was a very powerful dynasty up until the  Mongol Empire invaded it. 

In just a few years, the Mongols with Genghis  Khan ahead of them, entirely destroyed and conquered the Khwarazmian  Empire. Scholars estimate that during the wars, Genghis Khan butchered  around 3/4 of the Iranians. That is one of the biggest genocides in  history, and estimations show that the population of Iranians only  reached its pre-Mongols level in the mid-20th century. 

Oh yes, it took  Iranians 700 years to heal their deep wounds left by Genghis Khan. Even  today, Iranians have a saying "it's as if the Mongols have attacked,"  which means that something chaotic and brutal has happened. Thanks to  Genghis Khan, Iranians will never forgive Mongols their crimes.

Ramifications

The ramifications of the Mongol conquest of China were felt for some time. The Ming, who overthrew the Mongols in 1368, became obsessed with improving and lengthening the Great Wall to close to 5,000 miles (including walls that backed up walls) to prevent another Mongol invasion of China.

This was the ancient version of The Maginot Line. A very costly and enormous albatross.

The Great Wall as it existed from the time of the Ming Dynasty was an expensive reaction to the Mongol conquest of China. In the end, the improved Great Wall did not save China.

In 1644, a Mongol-like nation, the Manchu, conquered China and ruled the unhappy nation until 1911.

Re-population of conquered lands.

The Mongols completely repopulated Asia in their own image.

Incursions into Southeast Asia were largely successful, most factions  agreed to pay tribute, and only the Invasions into Vietnam and Java  failed. 

Europe was devastated by the Mongols. They destroyed near enough  every major Russian city, and invaded Volga Bulgaria, Bulgaria, Poland,  and Hungary. If rumours spread that the Mongols were coming, then it  would cause a mass panic, and some would run to safety. 

There was no  guaranteed way to defeat the Mongol hordes, they continuously defeated  much larger armies, so numerical strength couldn’t protect you. 

Mongol  conquests would leave once populous and flourishing areas as wastelands,  with little to no people, those remaining would be slaves.

They used their abilities, and fear of the meek, to seize control.

The Mongol were masterful at spreading fear and hate throughout Asia,  people feared them, and therefore hated them. 

They would rape and  pillage entire villages, and torture their victims for fun. Nobles would  get it the worst. Spilling noble blood was considered a crime, so they  simply crushed them to death, which took many hours. 

Mongols would  literally dine on top of them, making merry to the sounds of their  screams from underneath. The sounds of bodies squelching, and bones  snapping didn’t faze them. 

But rumours of this execution method struck  terror. Fear made them powerful, as people often chose to surrender and  pay tribute rather than risk fighting them.

Women, gold, horses, and other objects were considered spoils of war, which meant soldiers got to do pretty much whatever they wanted to do with them. Now, you don’t have to stretch your imagination too much to figure out what that means.

Amassing large harems was an important occupation of the khans.  Genghis Khan was said to have had five hundred wives and concubines.  When the Mongols overran a place, their captains took some of the women  and passed along the more beautiful ones to their superiors, who passed  the more beautiful to their superiors, and so on all the way to the  khan, who could choose among the pulchritude of a continent. Genghis  Khan had scores of children, as did other khans and nobles descended  from him for centuries in the Genghis Khanite line.

Recently, a  geneticist at Oxford University, Dr. Chris Tyler-Smith, and geneticists  from China and central Asia took blood samples from populations living  in regions near the former Mongol empire, and they studied the Y  chromosomes. These are useful in establishing lineage because Y  chromosomes continue from father to son. Dr. Tyler-Smith and his  colleagues found that an anomalously large number of the Y chromosomes  carried a genetic signature indicating descent from  a single common ancestor about a thousand years ago. The scientists  theorized that the ancestor was Genghis Khan (or, more exactly, an  eleventh-century ancestor of Genghis Khan). About eight per cent of all  males in the region studied, or sixteen million men, possess this  chromosome signature. That’s a half per cent of the world’s entire male  population. It is possible, therefore, that more than thirty-two million  people in the world today are descended from Genghis Khan.

On the other hand, if you were lucky enough to be super-extra beautiful, you could be forcibly entered into one of Genghis Khan’s weird beauty pageants.

Genghis Khan had so much power that he could do whatever he wanted. For  instance, when Genghis occupied some new area, he would kill or enslave  all the men and share all the women amongst his tribe.

Genghis Khan  would even make beauty contests of captured women to decide which woman is the most beautiful one. Yeah, he was having his Miss Universe competition before it was cool. 

So, the queen of those beauty competitions would win the privilege to become one of many Genghis Khan's women. Rest of the Mongolian army would share all the other contestants. 

 -The Richest  

According to Ancient Origins, once Genghis’ soldiers were done with the pillaging and the abusing, they brought Genghis himself the most beautiful women they’d encountered.

I’m sure that Genghis appreciated the sentiment.

 Girls in Mongolia seem to be a mystery to all but those who have  visited these rare lands. These unique girls offer Asian features with  larger bodies than most expect.

 I was baffled by the women I encountered in Mongolia.

 I’d never seen such tall, curvy Asians (well, Indonesian girls are  curvy) in all of my travels throughout the region. There was truly  something different about the Mongolian girls.

 After meeting, greeting, and mating with some of these fine  specimens, it finally clicked – these gals were direct descendants of Genghis Khan. I was balls deep in warrior genes, and I can’t lie – the  thought of having myself a warrior-blooded baby certainly went through  my mind. 

-Life around Asia

These women alone would be spared from the antics of the conquering army so they could be paraded in front of the man himself. The winner got the honor of becoming one of Genghis Khan’s many wives, which was probably preferable to ending up as the loser, though Ancient Origins doesn’t say what happened to them.

 First and foremost, these girls were definitely Asian. Their features  were dainty and stunning. However, Mongolian girls did not remind me of  Thai girls or Indonesian girls much. They seemed to have a unique mixture to them.

 I’d say many of the girls looked maybe 75% Asian with a mixture of Slavic genes, too.

 It was incredibly unique and quite sexy. Some guys said they weren’t  too into the look, but I loved it! Think a girl who is 2/3rds Asian and a  third Russian. How could that not be sexy?! 

 -Life around Asia 
Modern Mongolian beauty.

Evidently, though, women who Genghis deemed not to be up to his standards of beauty were sent off with the soldiers to be abused and then discarded. So yeah, great to be a woman in peacetime Mongolia but when Genghis comes to town you might just want to emigrate to China.

0.5 Percent of all men alive today are believed to have a genetic  relation with Genghis Khan. It is estimated that his descendants are 8  percent of men in Asia. 

-My Interesting Facts

The fate of the civilians.

Although Genghis Khan restricted the use of torture, Mongol executions were often extremely grisly.

When Guyuk Khan suspected that the powerful courtier Fatima had poisoned his brother, Guyuk had her tortured into confessing before “her upper and lower orifices were sewn up and she was rolled up in a sheet of felt and thrown into the river.”

The Mongols traditionally had a taboo against shedding royal blood, so another favorite method of execution was crushing.

Although Genghis Khan restricted the use of torture, Mongol  executions were often extremely grisly.
Although Genghis Khan restricted the use of torture, Mongol executions were often extremely grisly.

The Abbasid Caliph al-Musta’sim was rolled up in a carpet and trampled to death by stampeding horses.

After the Battle of the Kalka River, captured Russian princes were shoved under some floorboards and crushed as the Mongols held their victory feast on top of them.

Genghis himself ordered that a captured Tangut ruler be renamed Shidurqu (“Loyal”) before he was crushed, so that his spirit would be forced to serve the Mongols in the afterlife.

He was lucky compared to the Persian noble who was covered in sheep fat, wrapped in felt, and left tied up in the hot sun to meet his fate.

Genghis Khan’s Legacy

Perhaps the greatest legacy a conqueror can leave is his progeny.

Genghis Khan wasn’t an especially gracious winner — after he was done with the conquering, he enjoyed abducting his enemies’ wives and either romancing them or brutalizing them, depending on how cool they were with being abducted by Genghis Khan.

Mongolian girls are smart, beautiful, stacked, and feisty. They also can drink you under the table. They are warriors from warrior stock.

In fact in one of his most famous quotes he waxed poetic about the joys of the post-conquering aftermath:

"The greatest pleasure is to vanquish your enemies and chase  them before you, to rob them of their wealth and see those dear to them  bathed in tears, to ride their horses and clasp to your bosom their  wives and daughters." 

Nice guy, that Genghis.

He wasn’t always content to romance just one woman at a time, either. 

According to Ancient Origins, his army commanders were all super-impressed with his manliness because he frequently spent his evenings with multiple women. I mean, that was his role; to repopulate the conquered (now depopulated) lands in his image (literally).

While broad shoulders aren’t exactly a good trait on women, the women  in Mongolia didn’t get the short end of the stick in other ways.

In fact, I found some of the biggest Asian tits in the world to be in Mongolia. It was fantastic for me, as I’m a boobs man!

There are a number of rain-thin Mongolian girls that have big,  natural racks. I was thoroughly impressed. In fact, outside of  Indonesia, I haven’t seen bigger tits in an Asian country. The asses  here aren’t as amazing as the boobs, but there still above average for  Asia.

If  you were the first wife, you basically inherited everything and became  head of the household. After that you got to live pretty much  autonomously and independently, which is not something that was  especially common around the world during that time period.

A stronger genetic pool…

He wasn’t that into birth control, either, in fact by modern estimates Genghis Khan has roughly 16 million descendants. Now, the study that put forth this hypothesis can’t actually prove that the individual they identified is Genghis Khan, since no one knows where the Mongol leader is buried and therefore they can’t recover any of his DNA.

But this person lived roughly 1,000 years ago in the Mongol Empire and must have had access to a lot of women, and there really aren’t that many people from history that fit that description, so the assumption is pretty sound.

Modern Mongolian women are quite amazing and if you fall in love with them, be prepared to give them everything. Theya re traditional and conservative and expect the man to give them 100% of what he has. They will accept no less.

When we look at what Genghis Khan achieved with the Mongol Empire, we  cannot help but appreciate his mastermind as a warlord. It surely looks  like Genghis Khan had three dragons with him just like Khaleesi. 

I  cannot find any other explanation of Genghis Khan's success. I mean, he  defeated Jin Dynasty's one million troops with only 90,000 Mongolians by  his side. 

Yes, Genghis Khan managed to win a war with ten times fewer  troops than his opponent's army. On top of that, he was invading China,  so he had to overcome all the "little" problems such as the Great Wall  of China. Genghis Khan with his army had destroyed over 500,000 of  Chinese troop before getting control of Northern China and Beijing. 

The  rest of the Chinese army had to surrender to the power of Genghis Khan.  Destroying Jin Dynasty is only one of many examples of how great of a  warlord Genghis Khan was. Also, he had some brutal and loyal men by his  side, and let’s not rule out the dragon theory. 

 -The Richest   

Anyways, ol’ Genghis Khan was quite the fellow, and he really wanted to make good in the (now decimated) lands that he conquered. Because of this, and the history of his people, the women of Mongolia are what they are today.

I am an American Structural Engineer and spent approximately 1-1/2  years working in Mongolia, and living in UB. I have since moved on to  another project in Cape Town, SA, however wanted to comment on perhaps  the most accurate article I have read in relation to Mongolian women. 

I  have additionally worked in several other Asian counties to include  Singapore, Hong Kong, China, etc. I hope that you will agree that you  cannot even “basically” compare the contemporary Mongolian woman to any  other Asians. 

BTW, forget the “Asian Height Charts by Country” seen all  over the internet – not even close. For example, China, S. Korean and  even Japanese women are calculated taller in stature than Mongolian  ladies – Not eve close! 

When I strolled through Sukhbaatar Square on  warm days, it was not uncommon for me to see several Mongolian women  5′7″, 5′8″ even up to 5′10″. What stands out just as much, is that these  ladies have shapes and many pronounced bust-lines; mainly due to diet  (meat/dairy). 

They appear physically to be much stronger built than  other Asians. The best way I can explain it, Mongolian women have  physical shapes closer to Russian women than they do other Asians.

Another distinguishing factor, many Chinese, Japanese women have very  small hands and feet – not Mongolian women who have larger hands/feet.  Consider this, for a country of just over 3 million people, Nearly 50%  of all top Asian fashion models are from Mongolia. 

Battsetseg Turbat for  example has been in many famous American commercials to include  Budweiser and Apple. This is what surprised me most when I first stepped  off the plane upon my arrival to UB. Mongolian women’s height can be  deceiving when viewing online photos – the reason is that they have  voluptuous shapes to accompany their height.

An additional quality is personality. Mongolian women have big  personalities, laugh loudly and not afraid to approach someone they may  wish to meet. Additionally, Mongolian women when affronted, do not shy  away as do other Asians, however will meet the confrontation head-on  100%. What I have also noticed, when in other parts of Asia, women will  almost always give way when an American woman is walking down the  sidewalk toward them. 

Not in UB – A Mongolian woman will expect the  American woman to step aside most every time. 

In relation to toughness, Mongolia are second to none. 

In fact,  Mongolian women have very little respect for American women, thinking  them soft and spoiled (their words not mine). 

All Mongolian women are  excellent horsemen, whether raised in the Ger District or city. They are  like the land they inhabit, resilient and everlasting. 

I remember  taking a walk around Sukhbaatar Square with a Mongolian lady I  befriended to just enjoy the day . It was in November last year and  nearly freezing. I remember she was wearing heels, barely covered up and  seemed fine. I was layered to the hilt, still shivering although looked  like the Michelin tire man with all my garb. 

She must have noticed I  was freezing as suggested we walk to Millie’s Espresso to have lunch,  drink something warm and relax. These women impressed me as they were  able to balance their hardiness with their femininity. 

You are correct,  there is a slight mix of Slav in most Mongolian ladies, however, does  not distract from their Asian appearance. I do not know if I will ever  return to Mongolia, however, the Mongolian ladies will have my respect  and admiration for life.

Conclusion

We can learn a lot from the terrors of the past.

Genghis Khan devastated urban areas, cities, towns and villages and laid waste to entire swaths of land. This mass devastation would continue in other ways at other times. Whether it is the plagues that devastated Europe, or the World Wars that followed afterwards, entire well-established civilizations completely collapsed and the survivors had to pick up the pieces and start all over again.

In the case of many human-wrought changes, it is a situation where a strong and powerful person becomes a leader and assimilates (often violently) other weaker communities. It’s human nature.

It’s the human condition.

Human nature is such that communities form, thrive, expand, get lazy and then collapse. Other humans, often more skilled, with abilities, and positions through merit exploit the vulnerabilities of the older community.

America is not afraid of the consequences of using Nuclear Weapons. They do not think that any nation would use nuclear weapons in retaliation. Nor do they believe that American cities might be affected. They are living in a dangerous and crazy illusion.

I used the Mongol takeover of Asia as an example, but the fall of America will be on a similar scale. It will not be sudden. It will not be uniform and homogeneous. But it will eventually be complete and the changes will be stunning.

Some thoughts of the collapse of the American Empire and how it will manifest.

Nope, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill “doom porn”. Instead, most everyone realizes that the Untied States is in the process of some changes. Some predict that the changes are merely “adjustments” towards a better, more improved, society. While others stand outside holding a sign saying “The End of the World is Near!”. Here are my thoughts on the changes that America will go through during the decade of the 2020’s.

It could be anything from a whimper to a bang…

The Sky is Falling!

Not so very long ago, societal collapse was a big topic of conversation. Most critics of the current world order wrote in screeching big bold letters that the entire financial “house of cards” was going to fall apart. Usually they centered on economics, as the financial system has become so complex that no one can explain it, let alone predict it. It became a monster, a hydra, that was careening out of control.

Indeed, the run-up to the mortgage crisis had tons of people promoting economic collapse theories.

A decade earlier, the Y2K panic ushered in theories of technological collapse. Of course, the zombie apocalypse movies and TV shows are a regular part of the pop media rotation.

Scene from the ever-popular "Walking Dead" television show.
Scene from the ever-popular “Walking Dead” television show.

Societal collapse, however, is probably not in the cards.

Tainter comments.

The best known treatment of the issue is by Joseph Tainter.

In his Collapse of Complex Societies, Tainter makes the point that collapse in the modern age is unlikely. He states this belief under the assumption that all complex societies are dependent on one another.

Normaly or Normacy bias.
Normalcy bias. The belief that things are never changing, that they have always been that way and will always continue to stay that way.

Therefore, when one society begins to fail, the rest will provide support to prevent the rapid disintegration of the failing society.

In other words, the modern age is a network of reciprocal relationships between complex societies.

In the case of America, the rest of the world needs America in order to remain intact. Some nations more than others. Thus, a crisis in America will be met with a response from Europe, Asia and even South America.

In 2018, China shipped 18% of its exports to the United States. That contributed to a $419 billion trade deficit. China's trade with Hong Kong, at 14%, was almost as much. Its trade with Japan, which was at 6%, and South Korea, at 4.5%, was much less. 

- China Economy: Facts, Effect on US Economy 

The internal response to crisis will include global support for repairing the internal problems of America.

Of course, this network of relationships may not arrest the decline, but it will prevent complete collapse. The rest of the complex societies will ease America into the autumn of its existence, thus buying themselves time to adjust.

They will “decouple” from the USA. They will no longer being so closely tied to the economic, financial, social, military and political networks established int he United States.

There is evidence that this is already in process.

U.S. Decoupling From China Forces Others To Decouple From U.S. 

The U.S. is decoupling itself from China. The effects of that process hurt all global economies. To avoid damage other countries have no choice but to decouple themselves from the U.S..

-MoA

An alternative view.

An alternative to this analysis comes from John Michael Greer. He wrote a paper on what he termed catabolic collapse.

The general theory is that all human societies create complex institutions and social structures that require maintenance. Over time, the cost of maintaining them begins to exceed capacity. The solution is a deliberate downsizing where these complex systems are abandoned in order to focus resources on the core functions of society.

Complex societies don’t collapse. They downsize.

The Global Elites do not see what is coming. They believe that they can hide away in NZ or inside the bunkers far away from the areas of conflict and strife. Nope. That is not going to happen.
The Global Elites do not see what is coming. They believe that they can hide away in NZ or inside the bunkers far away from the areas of conflict and strife. Nope. That is not going to happen. Know your history, and recognize that now things are different and the game is going to be tortuously lethal.

Greer’s idea is a variation of the Tainter theory, in that it focuses on the material aspects of society.

In the Tainter view, collapse is like bankruptcy that ends in a liquidation of the society. Greer’s view is a bankruptcy that leads to a reorganization of society going through bankruptcy, so it can reemerge simpler and more viable.

In reality, both ideas are working from the same assumption. That is, human societies grow inefficient over time and that inefficiency eventually reaches a tipping point.

Cycles in America.

The Collapse Event

One issue that is a problem when discussing these theories of societal collapse is we tend to think of collapse as something that happens relatively quickly.

That is, it happens not just in our lifetime, but overnight.

One day things are going along just fine and the next day the wheels are coming off the cart. It is the image of Rome at its peak compared to the image of hairy barbarians scaling the walls. We naturally want to think of collapse as the sudden, unexpected death of society.

Collapse is most likely experienced in fits and starts, with those fits and starts spanning lifetimes. For example, the men who founded the American empire in the early 20th century passed out of this world seeing their creation in the throes of the cultural revolution of the 60’s and 70’s. The so-called greatest generation that inherited the empire from the founders, were re-engineering American society so their rotten kids would stop rioting in the street and burning the college campus.

The generation that founded the empire probably thought it was headed for collapse, but by that point they were too old to care. It did not collapse. American society stabilized, regained its footing and started to recover in the 1980’s and 1990’s, with the great economic and technological boom.

Scene from the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street". The 1980's and 1990's were a period of time when money flew abundantly to the "power players".
Scene from the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street”. The 1980’s and 1990’s were a period of time when money flew abundantly to the “power players”.

Ironically, the baby boomers are experiencing what their grandparents experienced as they head for the void. They are seeing what appears to be the collapse of American society in a spasm of multicultural rage.

A half century ago, California was the epicenter of the cultural revolution that threatened to collapse society. It is the test bed for the multicultural favela the rage heads in the ruling class have planned for the nation. 

Today, they have rolling blackouts in a third world effort to keep from setting the state on fire. Their efforts to manage air pollution, a great crusade in the 1860’s and 1970’s, is beginning to fail. Their pension system is effectively bankrupt, just waiting to collapse in the next decade.

In other words, the spasm of decline and near collapse of a half century ago was part of a cycle of decline.

An interregnum

This crisis will probably be followed by some correction, where things settle for a while, but never return to the prior normal. Just as the 1980’s never reached the level of social accomplishment of the post-war years, the next period of tranquility will fall far short of the 1980’s and 1990’s.

It will simply be an interregnum between one period of crisis and the next, another step down the ladder of collapse.

At some point, the old social capital of the prior greatness is exhausted. The Romans were a spent people for over century before the collapse. In fact, they were arguably done in the third century.

The real question about the late Roman Empire is how it managed to stagger on for so long.

Fall of the Roman Empire.
Fall of the Roman Empire.

That may be where we are now in present day America. The next step down the ladder of decline may be so unstable that the weight of past error crashed society through to the bottom.

The case for this theory of collapse is the rapidly shrinking white middle-class.

Shrinking of the White Class

It’s not just shrinking as an economic institution, but as a cultural one. The dominant culture today is one that celebrates degeneracy and barbarism. Bourgeois culture remains, but unlike the 1980’s, it is not front and center, offering a stabilizing point to arrest the cultural turmoil of the day.

The antidote to what’s happening today is not a man in a sundress demanding the rest of us pretend he is a girl.

Facing the fall…

In addition to the shrinking influence of bourgeois white culture, 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.

Conclusions

America is collapsing. It will collapse in a long, slow drawn out manner. It will not be fast, though there will be some very spectacular events that will stun the viewing audience. Many people who have the knowledge and ability to retard the collapse are quietly scurrying to protective safe havens and enclaves.

Perhaps, you the reader, should also take heed.

America is not afraid of the consequences of using Nuclear Weapons. They do not think that any nation would use nuclear weapons in retaliation. Nor do they believe that American cities might be affected. They are living in a dangerous and crazy illusion.

In particular, we will take a look at the KaLa Rhythms as being similar to that of the generational turnings as described in the Strauss-Howe generational theory.

The Strauss–Howe generational theory, also known as the Fourth Turning theory or simply the Fourth Turning, which was created by authors William Strauss and Neil Howe, describes a theorized recurring generation cycle in American history. According to the theory, historical events are associated with recurring generational personas (archetypes). 

- Strauss–Howe generational theory - Wikipedia 

The KaLa theory differs from the Strauss-Howe theory, but both come to the same conclusions. We will treat each theory with respect, but acknowledge that no one can accurately predict the future, just observe the trends within society.

Other systems

There are other systems that chart people, society, and behaviors over time. The ones that I find interesting are…

  • Strauss-Howe Generational theory.
  • KaLa Rhythm Cycles.
  • Chinese horoscope BaZi.

Welcome to 2020

The current decade is predestined to be the most exciting time America has ever known.

It will start in 2020 and end in 2030, and during those ten years will be a period of advanced change that will be very disturbing for anyone not prepared for it.

Antifa supporters have complained about the Berkeley Police Department posting mugshots on Twitter of the 20 people who were arrested on Sunday when protesters attacked police and city vehicles during a march by conservative groups.

Berkeley PD has refused to remove their tweets that included booking photos, names, ages, hometowns, and crimes alleged to have been committed by the arrestees, Newsweek reported.

In a press release posted on Sunday evening, the police department said the list of people arrested at the protest was only “partial” and said police were still working to confirm the identities of some of those who had been arrested.

However, the Fact-Check website “Snopes.com” was very quick to denounce the photos posted by the police. They reported that the mug-shots were NOT of Antifa terrorists. (WTF? All you need to do is go to the police website to see for yourself.)

Numerous changes have positioned themselves for action and collapse during this period, and human nature will decide the outcome as to how the events will unfold.

Cycles of life and behavior

In America, upon the founding of the United States, the “clock was set”. It’s an alarm clock, don’t you know. It ticks and tocks for 82 years (plus or minus 2 years). And, you know what? The alarm is going to go off soon.

Alarm clock. Generational turnings, whether KaLa or some other methodology defines a cycle of change with a period of 80 years. Soon this tick-tock of the clock will stop and the alarm will go off.

How do we know? Well, it’s been repeatable. Roughly every eighty years or so, the alarm goes off, and all Hell breaks loose.

KaLa Rhythms

According to the KaLa theory, this natural cycle began with the birth of our nation in the American Revolution.

The KaLa cycle started upon the birth of the United States during the American Revolution.
The KaLa cycle started upon the birth of the United States during the American Revolution.

Consistent Highs and Lows have come ever since as the Cycles of change pulsed through our nation. When the nation was founded, we found that we had all of our Cycles at a peak High at the same time.

The KaLa cycles at the start of the American experience.
The KaLa cycles at the start of the American experience.

The cycles moved up and down. Three cycles representing different aspects of human mob psychology.

The cycles moved up and down. Three cycles representing different aspects of human mob psychology.

They rose and fell.

They would always collapse when the three cycles would simultaneously fall to the bottom. This happened during the American Civil War and then again during the 1920’s stock market crash / great depression and World War II. But the very first time this happened was around 1800.

  • February 17, 1801 – Thomas Jefferson is elected as the 3rd president of the United States in a vote of the House of Representatives after tying Aaron Burr, his Vice President, in the electoral college with 73 electors. This situation would be later prevented by the 12th Amendment to the Constitution. (Bye bye representative Republic. Hello Democracy.)

Now it is getting close to the next collapse of the triad of cycles.

In the decade of the 1990s, each Cycle crossed out of its Low half, into the High, to reach peaks in all three Cycles this decade.

Our future now is like never before.

Charting the cycles

The World moves in cycles. Whether it is the movement of planets, the changes or the seasons, or the rise and fall of the ocean tides. Everything in this universe moves in cycles.

And cycles can all be charted.

National and generational cycles can be charted. This is from Business Insider.
National and generational cycles can be charted. This is from Business Insider.

You can find a chart that gives the times of coming ocean tides, because they move in Rhythm. Calendars can list the next phases of the moon, because it moves in Rhythm. Now you know the times of change, because our times move with Rhythms that are as regular as ocean tides and phases of the moon.

The Seasons of time are changing dramatically now and everything around us is changing with them.

Periods of crisis and chaos also come as regular parts of the Cycles.

Space / Time patterns

Ka is an ancient Egyptian name for energy. Kala is Sanskrit for time.

Thus, Kala Rhythms are changes of energy through time.

The Egyptians believed that Ka is the Physical, Spiritual and Intellectual parts of a person, or god, that constitute an individuality. It transcends death of the body as living energy.

Ancient Egyptian KA.
Ancient Egyptian KA.

Ancient Indian scriptures described Kala as transcendent time and as relative time which is Cyclical in nature.

We live in relative time and all the Cycles within it.

Kala Rhythms are therefore changes in Physical, Spiritual and Intellectual energies through Cyclical time.

This triad of energies that constitute an individuality is part of any person or living system. In our case, they are basic elements of the United States. Change is part of any time.

To see where we are in time  is to know where we are in the Cycles of change. Cycles tell us from  where we come, where we are, and where we are going.

Fractals

Fractals are replete through nature as transcendent repeating patterns on different scales of size and time.

These patterns give us clues to what is all around.

Spirals in pine cones, sunflowers and snail shells encode the same mathematical pattern by which plants replicate their leaf growth (Fibonacci sequence).

In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers, commonly denoted Fform a sequence, called the Fibonacci sequence, such that each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting from 0 and 1. That is, F₀=0, F₁=1, and Fₙ=Fₙ₋₁+Fₙ₋₂, for n > 1. One has F₂ = 1. In some books, and particularly in old ones, F₀, the "0" is omitted, and the Fibonacci sequence starts with F₁ = F₂ = 1. The beginning of the sequence is thus: (0,) 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, … Fibonacci numbers are strongly related to the golden ratio: Binet's formula expresses the nth Fibonacci number in terms of n and the golden ratio, and implies that the ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers tends to the golden ratio as n increases.

The ratio found in this sequence is the rate by which our bones increase in length when progressing from smaller to larger joints in our hands, feet and legs (phi ratio).

Our average number of respirations per day, and our number of heartbeats every six hours, each equal the number of years in the precession of the equinoxes, (a 25,920-year Cycle of where the earth is in its orbit on the first day of Spring).

We find ourselves as part of it all.

Our Cycles

The rise and fall of our industrial production is a multiple of the 7-year septennial Rhythm of cell growth in our bodies.

Cells within the body follow a rhythm and pattern.

This is a Physical Cycle.

A woman’s menstrual Cycle has an average length that coincides with phases of the moon every twenty-eight days.

This is the human female Menstrual Cycle.

Rises and falls in social tides of enthusiasm coincide with the moon again, and a multiple of the 9-year Cycle, as the tilt of the moon’s orbital plane around the earth moves in “Saros Cycles” that relate to mood swings in the nation.

This is an Emotional Cycle.

Academic achievements and peak times of invention for our nation resemble a multiple of the 11-year sunspot Cycle and electromagnetic radiation in solar wind.

This is an Intellectual Cycle.

We are not observers of nature, we are part of it. We are within the Rhythms and the Rhythms are within us. More discovery of self repeating patterns through the microcosm and the macrocosm has led to a new word in the English language, “Fractals.”

These are reappearing and transcending patterns of nature.

Now Fractal-Rhythms show us transcending patterns with the added dimension of time. As we navigate the currents of time, we are transcending a scale of our own. It is self realization. In the process, the wonders of the universe reappear in ever more splendid and fascinating ways, and they come, in Rhythmic Cycles.

Rhythmic Cycles

Our Triad of Energies holds the Physical Cycle, the Emotional Cycle, and the Intellectual Cycle.

They come from the body, the heart, and the mind of the nation. We undulate between strengths and weakness, hopes and fears, and ideas and apathy.

In this post we will identify different colors for the different cycles. In my convention, I use blue for the Physical cycle, green for the Emotional cycle, and red for the Intellectual cycle.

The Physical Cycle changes our production, territoriality, and strength. It affects what we build, our sense of materialism, the military, how we play sports, and our health and fitness. These rise and fall together.

The Emotional Cycle changes our sense of idealism, inspiration, and faith. A national mood is reflected in our styles, practice of religion, market speculation, entertainment and general outlook. They move in waves.

The Intellectual Cycle affects invention, learning and interests. Shifts come in government policies, court decisions, commerce, academic performance of students, and technologies. They are Cyclical. Together, these changing energies bring change to our times

Stages of a Cycle

The stages of a cycle.
The stages of a cycle.

A Cycle goes through four stages that are the Seasons of a Cycle, as it progresses between Highs and Lows.

  • It begins with a First Quarter, or “Spring,” where we lay Foundations for things to come. This is when we begin anew.
  • The Second Quarter, or “Summer,” comes with Improvements as we branch out in variations. This is when we expand.
  • A Third Quarter, or “Autumn,” brings Review and reform to what we have done. This is when we retreat.
  • Then, the Fourth Quarter, or “Winter,” comes with Alternatives as we abandon the past to simplify. It is when we search. This consistent pattern repeats as each Cycle revolves.

Points of Chaos

A Cycle goes through chaos when it crosses the midpoint. Whenever a  Cycle switches from Low to High, or from High to Low, it passes through  the point of transition (red dotted line) where it meets with  turbulence.

  • A Crossover in the Physical Cycle might cause an industrial recession.
  • Crossovers in the Emotional Cycle might come with rioting in the streets.
  • A Crossover in the Intellectual Cycle might bring falling stock prices.

Every time a Cycle goes through a Crossover, we have chaos in the nation.

Make no mistake the Second AMerican Civil war is intened to be a complete genocide against White People.
Make no mistake the Second American Civil war is intended to be a complete genocide against White People.

Our Three Cycles

Cycles work together as our Physical, Emotional, and Intellectual energies progress through their four stages of development, and points of chaos, to bring change to the nation.

This universal pattern of development that is common to all three Cycles holds true even though the three Cycles are of different lengths.

  • The Physical Cycle repeats every 28 years.
  • The Emotional Cycle recurs every 36 years.
  • The Intellectual Cycle revolves every 44 years.

They still follow the same pattern while influencing different parts of the nation.

The combined effect of the Cycles is that they may all be in different stages of development at any given time. A myriad of combinations is possible. This brings variety to our times.

Once this simple pattern is understood, however, we can see where we are in each Cycle, and how each Cycle affects us.

The combined state of the nation is then deciphered. Beneath the complexity of our times, lie simple and basic elements. It becomes clear, once you have the math.

Birth of a Nation

The start of the United States cycle.
The start of the United States cycle.

1770s: The Beginning: This all goes back to the beginning, our point of origin. We were born in the American Revolution. America was birthed from whatever it was before into a unified nation. As such it took on the characteristics of the KaLa.

Thus, the body, heart and mind of a new nation have gone forth with Cyclical progression.

Of course, there were preceding Rhythms from native American tribes, and trends set in motion establishing the colonies were embraced by English loyalists, but the new order of Rhythms would collect all cultures or becomes mutually exclusive to them through war.

New vibrations do not just come into being, they come with birth pains which, in our case, was the American Revolution. With every rebirth comes forth a new set of KaLa Rhythms.

This formed a new nation with a life of its own, and with it, the Rhythms of Life.

The triumvirate braid of Rhythms in the body, heart and mind of a nation brings us up to today. Now the combination of Cyclical energies is shaping our times as much as ever.

They will continue to do so as the inveterate procession of Rhythms carries us into the future.

Cycles Now

Here we can see the last thirty years laid out in a nice handy chart…

Cycles 1990 to 2020.

2000s: The New Reality This Trirhymic High in the Cycles came into being after an Upward Physical Crossover in 1999-2000 that put us in a vulnerable period of crisis as we reached an Emotional Peak in 2000.

Consequently, we were in a point of overs peculation in an over-bought market when we hit an abrupt Physical crisis and “the bubble burst” in the market.

Meanwhile a rising Intellectual Cycle brought us further into space and scientific achievements.

The unexpected attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 came from external sources beyond the internal rhythms of the nation producing largest External Aberration in our history.

We recovered, due in part to the strong position of our Cycles.

We moved on to a hyso–Intellectual Peak in 2006 that gave a pause as real estate sales slowed down. Now we are gaining momentum in a Trirhythmic 2nd Expansion which produces even more energy a Peak and our greatest expressions unfolding in an historic High.

We face a moral and emotional crisis in 2009-2010 when we have an Emotional Downward Crossover.


Below is a chart showing the three Cycles from the birth  of our nation in 1775 until 2100. Look at where the different Cycles are  in different times and for an overview of America. Different energies  manifest in different time as we surf through the tides of history.

Cycle Highlights

Below is an overview of some key points in American history with a look at where Cycles where at the time. Note how Cycles working together can have a dynamic effect on events from beyond the plane of physical causality.

When the KaLa cycles started.
When the KaLa cycles started.

After the birth pangs of the Revolutionary War, we separated from our mother country, England. A new nation began a life of its own, and with it, a new set of Cycles came into the world.

Our Physical, Emotional and Intellectual energies gave us an individuality.

These Cycles soon peaked to boost us forward. A myriad of combinations came in the Cycles and our times changed.

The Roaring Twenties

The "Roaring twenties".
The “Roaring twenties”.

The first time we had a sustained High in all three Cycles at once was from 1919 to 1929. Every Cycle Peaked to bring us the “Roaring Twenties.”

The Roaring Twenties refers to the decade of the 1920s in Western society and Western culture. It was a period of economic prosperity with a distinctive cultural edge in the United States and Western Europe, particularly in major cities such as Berlin, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, New York City, Paris, and Sydney. In France, the decade was known as the "années folles", emphasizing the era's social, artistic and cultural dynamism. Jazz blossomed, the flapper redefined the modern look for British and American women, and Art Deco peaked. Not everything roared: in the wake of the hyper-emotional patriotism of World War I, President Warren G. Harding "brought back normalcy" to the politics of the United States. This period saw the large-scale development and use of automobiles, telephones, movies, radio, and electrical appliances being installed in the lives of thousands of Westerners. Aviation soon became a business. Nations saw rapid industrial and economic growth, accelerated consumer demand, and introduced significantly new changes in lifestyle and culture. The media focused on celebrities, especially sports heroes and movie stars, as cities rooted for their home teams and filled the new palatial cinemas and gigantic sports stadiums. In most major democratic states, women won the right to vote. The right to vote made a huge impact on society.

Unprecedented Highs came to the market, optimism soared, and achievements flourished.

This ended suddenly when two Cycles crossed down through the point of chaos (red line meridian) and we had the Stock Market Crash of 1929.

And if you follow the cycles, it actually was predictable.

The Great Depression was a severe worldwide economic depression that took place mostly during the 1930s, beginning in the United States. The timing of the Great Depression varied across nations; in most countries, it started in 1929 and lasted until the late 1930s. It was the longest, deepest, and most widespread depression of the 20th century. In the 21st century, the Great Depression is commonly used as an example of how intensely the world's economy can decline.

The longest period for all Three Cycles to be Low at once came during the Great Depression.

We were still reeling from the Crash of 1929 which made it even worse.

 The Great Depression began in the United States as an ordinary recession in the summer of 1929. The downturn became markedly worse, however, in late 1929 and continued until early 1933. Real output and prices fell precipitously.

It took so long to recover because all Cycles were going down.

We finally began to recover when two Cycles started to rise just before WW II. A wartime economy boosted us upward and we continued with Cycles that peaked in the 1950s & 1960s.

Now, facing reality.

Facing the reality of today.
Facing the reality of today.

Now we are headed for our greatest Cyclic High since the American Revolution.

Tick-Tock the clock is ticking, and soon the alarm will go off again.

All three Cycles have been High since the an Upward Crossover of the Physical Cycle in 1999, and all three Cycles Peaked in just a six-year period (2000 – 2006).

Now we have a Triple 2nd Quarter of Variation and Expansion.

It is the 2nd Quarter that is the most productive as it is a time of fruition. This promises that the time we are in now will make this our most energetic decade ever!

It is toward these times that generations to come will reflect and admire, hold in awe, and even admonish. Fasten your seatbelt, it’s going to be a bumpy ride!


The Significance of a Double Crossover

Double Crossovers in America are rare, but consequential.

If a Crossover can bring brief crisis to the nation, then what happens when two Cycles Cross Over in the same year?

Well we actually do know. As they have happened before. Three times to be exact. Yup. Three times in our history, we found out.

Double Downward Crossover.
Double Downward Crossover.

A Physo–Emotional Double Downward Crossover of 1901/02 came as both the Physical Cycle and Emotional Cycle shifted from 2nd Qtr. Expansion into 3rd Qtr. Reform by crossing the transitional midpoint of crisis.

In the crisis, President McKinley Was Shot by an Anarchist and Teddy Roosevelt succeeded to the presidency.

An era of big business ended as Huge Trusts and Monopolies Lost Control of industries like copper, sugar, meat, tobacco and oil when stock prices fell in the Panic of 1901 that threatened the entire banking structure.

Roosevelt Activated the Sherman Anti-Trust Act against: big railroad, oil & tobacco monopolies, the Northern Securities Company, timber companies and more.

This was the period of “Muckrakers” and “Trust Busters” that ushered in 3rd Qtr. Reform.

A Physo–Intellectual Double Downward Crossover of 1929/30 ended the “Roaring Twenties” with great crisis.

A Physo–Intellectual Double Downward Crossover of 1929/30 ended the “Roaring Twenties” with great crisis.

A Three-Way High ended with both the Physical Cycle & the Intellectual Cycle crossed down through the transitional midpoint of crisis with disastrous results.

Yet, America was near an Emotional Peak at the time and over-speculation turned to over-panic when the unforeseen Double Crossover wreaked havoc on stock values.

The market crashed, we panicked, and Downward Cycles pulled the market down.

An Emo–Intellectual Double Downward Crossover of 1973/74  gave us this year of double trouble.
An Emo–Intellectual Double Downward Crossover of 1973/74 gave us this year of double trouble.

An Emo–Intellectual Double Downward Crossover of 1973/74 gave us this year of double trouble. The Watergate Affair began that led to resignations from the President, Vice-President and most of the Cabinet. Our Recession of 1973-74 brought the worst stock market drop since 1929. The Oil Crisis severely impacted business with emergency provisions for energy consumption.

Now for the future…

A Physo–Emotional Double Upward Crossover in 2027/28  will make the next cyclical crisis in the United States due to occur  within March 21, 2027 to March 21, 2028 as both the 28-year Physical  Cycle and the 36-year Emotional Cycle cross up through the midpoint of  crisis at the same time!

Looking Ahead we can see how make a forecast toward our tendencies based on our consistent history Cyclical influence.

The 21st Century

The American cycles for the 21st century.
The American cycles for the 21st century.

2010s: Our positional High that is now in place will have a gradual decline with stages.

In 2009-2010 as the Emotional Cycle has a Downward Crossover we are bound to see a moral and ethical crisis in a major event in the nation.

In 2009-2010 as the Emotional Cycle has a Downward Crossover we are bound to see a moral and ethical crisis in a major event in the nation.

In 2013-2014 when the Physical Cycle has a Downward Crossover will are likely to experience a brief industrial recession.

In 2017-2018 with the Intellectual Cycle has a Downward Crossover we will likely see a dip in stock prices and commodities. This will all lead to gradual decline and a recession in 2020.

The 2020’s.

An American genocide as part of an American Civil War would be absoltuely devistating to the nation, the people, the infrastructure and the future. America might not be able to recover. It might not be able to recover for multiple decades. Take heed.

2020s: We will rise toward new High from a likely recession in 2020, but we will encounter a major national crisis in 2027-2028 as we have a Physo–Emotional Double Upward Crossover, the fourth only Double Crossover in our nation’s history.

This is a CRISIS EVENT.

Russia and China can come in when America is weak. Any kind of internal American Civil War will ignite this event sequence.
Russia and China can come in when America is weak. Any kind of internal American Civil War will ignite this event sequence.

This will likely result in over-reaction put into action with possible acts of violence and public outcry.

The industrial sector of the economy could suffer and we should be cautious with are responses in foreign relations as we will have a tendency to use force…

… and picking a fight with the wrong nation would be ill advised.

We should be cautious with are responses in foreign relations as we Americans have a tendency to use force. Not every nation is incapable of fighting back, and there could be serious negative repercussions if we pick a fight with the wrong people.
We should be cautious with are responses in foreign relations as we Americans have a tendency to use force. Not every nation is incapable of fighting back, and there could be serious negative repercussions if we pick a fight with the wrong people.

An Intellectual Low will decline through a period of reform to reach a bottom in 2028.

The 2030’s

However America deals with the events of the 2020’s, it will survive. Though it might not be all that recognizable.

It will be quite a different nation.

Rising Cycles will reach Physical and Emotional Peaks in a High that will be somewhat reminiscent of the “gay ’90s” of the 19th century, but in a new time. The Intellectual Cycle will be Low and rising through 4th Qtr. Alternatives and we make a progressive shift in our methods of learning and scientific pursuits.

The 2040’s.

This should be a new era of intellectualism as the Intellectual Cycle reaches a Peak in 2050, but both the Physical Cycle and the Emotional Cycle will end their Highs to usher in a new period of reforms in the Physo–Emotional Double 3rd Qtr. Reform.

In this decade we are likely to find new ways to revise old practices as we shift from survival of the fittest to survival of the wisest.

End Conclusions

The decade of the 2020’s will be difficult and dangerous. It will be a time of great changes, and sudden events.

Eventually, new realities will take place, and the 2030’s will be a time of reconstruction and rebuilding. There will be renewed optimism and hope in the general population.

In the 2040’s there will likely be complete overhauls of entire systems, organizations and operations. With different or revised systems put solidly in place.

Humans are not more enlightened. Our natures have NOT changed. Soon, we will relive the past, and people(!) is is not friendly or simple. It’s ugly and dangerous.

The Long Way Home (full text) by Fred Saberhagen

This is the kind of short science fiction story that I enjoyed reading as a young teenager. A spaceship is out, far out, in deep space. As it crosses the deep depths it discovers a mystery... one that needs investigation. So they check it out, and an adventure ensues...

The Long Way Home

When Marty first saw the thing it was nearly dead ahead, half a million miles away, a tiny green blip that repeated itself every five seconds on the screen of his distant-search radar.

He was four billion miles from Sol and heading out, working his way slowly through a small swarm of rock chunks that swung in a slow sun-orbit out here beyond Pluto, looking for valuable minerals in concentration that would make mining profitable.

The thing on his radar screen looked quite small, and therefore not too promising. But, as it was almost in his path, no great effort would be required to investigate. For all he knew, it might be solid germanium. And nothing better was in sight at the moment. Marty leaned back in the control seat and said: “We’ve got one coming up, baby.” He had no need to address himself any more exactly. Only one other human was aboard the Clementine, or, to his knowledge, within a couple of billion miles.

Laura’s voice answered through a speaker, from the kitchen two decks below. “Oh, close? Have we got time for breakfast?”

Marty studied the radar. “About five hours if we maintain speed. Hope it won’t be a waste of energy to decelerate and look the thing over.” He gave Clem’s main computer the problem of finding the most economical engine use to approach his find and reach zero velocity relative to it.

“Come and eat!”

“All right.” He and the computer studied the blip together for a few seconds. Then the man, not considering it anything of unusual importance, left the control room to have breakfast with his bride of three months. As he walked downstairs in the steadilymaintained artificial gravity, he heard the engines starting.

Ten hours later he examined his new find much more closely, with a rapidly focusing alertness that balanced between an explorer’s caution and a prospector’s elation at a possibly huge strike. The incredible shape of X, becoming apparent as the Clem drew within a few hundred miles, was what had Marty on the edge of his chair. It was a needle thirty miles long, as near as his radar could measure and about a hundred yards thick—dimensions that matched exactly nothing Marty could expect to find anywhere in space.

It was obviously no random chunk of rock. And it was no spaceship that he had ever seen or heard of. One end of it pointed in the direction of Sol, causing him to suggest to Laura the idea of a miniature comet, complete with tail. She took him seriously at first, then remembered some facts about comets and swatted him playfully. “Oh, you!” she said.

Another, more real possibility quickly became obvious, with sobering effect. The ancient fear of aliens that had haunted Earthmen through almost three thousand years of intermittent space exploration, a fear that had never been realized, now peered into the snug control room through the green radar eye.

Aliens were always good for a joke when spacemen met and talked. But they turned out to be not particularly amusing when you were possibly confronting them, several billion miles from Earth. Especially, thought Marty, in a ship built for robot mining, ore refining, and hauling, not for diplomatic contacts or heroics—and with the only human assistance a girl on her first space trip. Marty hardly felt up to speaking for the human race in such a situation.

It took a minute to set the autopilot so that any sudden move by X would trigger alarms and such evasive tactics as Clem could manage. He then set a robot librarian to searching his microfilm files for any reference to a spaceship having X’s incredible dimensions.

There was a chance—how good a chance, he found hard to estimate, when any explanation looked somewhat wild—that X was a derelict, the wrecked hull of some ship dead for a decade, or a century, or a thousand years. By laws of salvage, such a find would belong to him if he towed it into port. The value might be very high or very low. But the prospect was certainly intriguing.

Marty brought Clem to a stop relative to X, and noticed that his velocity to Sol now also hung at zero. “I wonder,” he muttered,

“Space anchor . . . ?”

The space anchor had been in use for thousands of years. It was a device that enabled a ship to fasten itself to a particular point in the gravitational field of a massive body such as a sun. If X was anchored, it did not prove that there was still life aboard her; once “dropped,” an anchor could hold as long as a hull could last. Laura brought sandwiches and a hot drink to him in the control room.

“If we call the navy and they bring it in we won’t get anything out of it,” he told her between bites. “That’s assuming it’s—not alien.”

“Could there be someone alive on it?” She was staring into the screen. Her face was solemn, but, he thought, not frightened.

“If it’s human, you mean? No. I know there hasn’t been any ship remotely like that used in recent years. Way, way back the Old Empire built some that were even bigger, but none I ever heard of with this crazy shape . . . “

The robot librarian indicated that it had drawn a blank. “See?” said Marty. “And I’ve even got most of the ancient types in there.” There was silence for a little while. The evening’s recorded music started somewhere in the background.

“What would you do if I weren’t along?” Laura asked him.

He did not answer directly, but said something he had been considering. “I don’t know the psychology of our hypothetical aliens. But it seems to me that if you set out exploring new solar systems, you do as Earthmen have always done—go with the best you have in the way of speed and weapons. Therefore if X is alien, I don’t think Clem would stand a chance trying to fight or run.” He paused, frowning at the image of X. “That damned shape—it’s just not right for anything.”

“We could call the navy—not that I’m saying we should, darling,” she added hastily. “You decide, and I’ll never complain either way. I’m just trying to help you think it out.”

He looked at her, believed it about there never being any complaints, and squeezed her hand. Anything more seemed superfluous.

“If I was alone,” he said, “I’d jump into a suit, go look that thing over, haul it back to Ganymede, and sell it for a unique whateverit-is. Maybe I’d make enough money to marry you in real style, and trade in Clem for a first-rate ship—or maybe even terraform an asteroid and keep a couple of robot prospectors. I don’t know, though. Maybe we’d better call the navy.”

She laughed at him gently. “We’re married enough already, and we had all the style I wanted. Besides, I don’t think either of us would be very happy sitting on an asteroid. How long do you think it will take you to look it over?”

At the airlock door she had misgivings: “Oh, it is safe enough, isn’t it? Marty, be careful and come back soon.” She kissed him before he closed his helmet.

They had moved Clem to within a few kilometers of X. Marty mounted his spacebike and approached it slowly, from the side. The vast length of X blotted out a thin strip of stars to his right and left, as it it were the distant shore of some vast island in a placid Terran sea, and the starclouds below him were the watery reflections of the ones above. But space was too black to permit such an illusion to endure.

The tiny FM radar on his bike showed him within three hundred yards of X. He killed his forward speed with a gentle application of retrojets and turned on a spotlight. Bright metal gleamed smoothly back at him as he swung the beam from side to side. Then he stopped it where a dark concavity showed up.

“Lifeboat berth . . . empty,” he said aloud, looking through the bike’s little telescope.

“Then it is a derelict? We’re all right?” asked Laura’s voice in his helmet.

“Looks that way. Yeah, I guess there’s no doubt of it. I’ll go in for a closer look now.” He eased the bike forward. X was evidently just some rare type of ship that neither he nor the compilers of the standard reference works in his library had ever heard of. Which sounded a little foolish to him, but . . .

At ten meters’ distance he killed speed again, set the bike on automatic stay-clear, made sure a line from it was fast to his belt, and launched himself out of the saddle gently, headfirst, toward X.

The armored hands of his suit touched down first, easily and expertly. In a moment he was standing upright on the hull, held in place by magnetic boots. He looked around. He detected no response to his arrival.

Marty turned toward Sol, sighting down the kilometers of dark cylinder that seemed to dwindle to a point in the starry distance, like a road on which a man might travel home toward a tiny sun. Near at hand the hull was smooth, looking like that of any ordinary spaceship. In the direction away from Sol, quite distant, he could vaguely see some sort of projections at right angles to the hull. He mounted his bike again and set off in that direction. When he neared the nearest projection, a kilometer and a half down the hull, he saw it to be a sort of enormous clamp that encircled X—or rather, part of a clamp. It ended a few meters from the hull, in rounded globs of metal that had once been molten but were now too cold to affect the thermometer Marty held against them. His radiation counter showed nothing above the normal background.

“Ah,” said Marty after a moment, looking at the half-clamp.

“Something?”

“I think I’ve got it figured out. Not quite as weird as we thought. Let me check for one thing more.” He steered the bike slowly around the circumference of X.

A third of the way around he came upon what looked like a shallow trench, about five feet wide and a foot deep, with a bottom that shone cloudy gray in his lights. It ran lengthwise on X as far as he could see in either direction.

A door-sized opening was cut in the clamp above the trench. Marty nodded and smiled to himself, and gunned the bike around in an accelerating curve that aimed at the Clementine.

“It’s not a spaceship at all, only a part of one,” he told Laura a little later, digging in the microfilm file with his own hands, with the air of a man who knew what he was looking for. “That’s why the librarian didn’t turn it up. Now I remember reading about them. It’s part of an Old Empire job of about two thousand years ago. They used a somewhat different drive than we do, one that made one enormous ship more economical to run than several normal-sized ones. They made these ships ready for a voyage by fastening together long narrow sections side by side, the number depending on how much cargo they had to move. What we’ve found is obviously one of those sections.”

Laura wrinkled her forehead. “It must have been a terrible job, putting those sections together and separating them, even in free space.”

“They used space anchors. That trench I mentioned? It has a forcefield bottom. so an anchor could be sunk through it. Then the whole section could be slid straight forward or back, in or out of the bunch . . . here, I’ve got it, I think. Put this strip in the viewer.”

One picture, a photograph, showed what appeared to be one end of a bunch of long needles, in a glaring light, against a background of stars that looked unreal. The legend beneath gave a scanty description of the ship in flowing Old Empire script. Other pictures showed sections of the ship in some detail.

“This must be it, all right,” said Marty thoughtfully. “Funny looking old tub.”

“I wonder what happened to wreck her.”

“Drives sometimes exploded in those days, and that could have done it. And this one section got anchored to Sol somehow—it’s funny.”

“How long ago did it happen, do you suppose?” asked Laura. She had her arms folded as if she were a little cold, though it was not cold in the Clementine.

“Must be around two thousand years or more. These ships haven’t been used for about that long.” He picked up a stylus. “I better go over there with a big bag of tools tomorrow and take a look inside.” He wrote down a few things he thought he might need.

“Historians would probably pay a good price for the whole thing, untouched,” she suggested, watching him draw doodles.

“That’s a thought. But maybe there’s something really valuable aboard—though I won’t be able to give it anything like a thorough search, of course. The thing is anchored, remember. I’ll probably have to break in, anyway, to release that.”

She pointed to one of the diagrams. “Look, a section thirty miles long must be one of the passenger compartments. And according to this plan, it would have no drive at all of its own. We’ll have to tow it.”

He looked. “Right. Anyway, I don’t think I’d care to try its drive if it had one.”

He located airlocks on the plan and made himself generally familiar with it.

The next “morning” found Marty loading extra tools, gadgets, and explosives on his bike. The trip to X (he still thought of it that way) was uneventful. This time he landed about a third of the way from one end, where he expected to find a handy airlock and have a choice of directions to explore when he got inside. He hoped to get the airlock open without letting out whatever atmosphere or gas was present in any of the main compartments, as a sudden drop in pressure might damage something in the unknown cargo. He found a likely looking spot for entry where the plans had told him to expect one. It was a small auxiliary airlock, only a few feet from the space-anchor channel. The forcefield bottom of that channel was, he knew, useless as a possible doorway. Though anchors could be raised and lowered through it, they remained partly imbedded in it at all times. Starting a new hole from scratch would cause the decompression he was trying to avoid, and possibly a dangerous explosion as well.

Marty began his attack on the airlock door cautiously, working with electronic “sounding” gear for a few minutes, trying to tell if the inner door was closed as well. He had about decided that it was when something made him look up. He raised his head and sighted down the dark length of X toward Sol.

Something was moving toward him along the hull.

He was up in the bike saddle with his hand on a blaster before he realized what it was—that moving blur that distorted the stars seen through it, like heat waves in air. Without doubt, it was a space anchor, moving along the channel.

Marty rode the bike out a few yards and nudged it along slowly, following the anchor. It moved at about the pace of a fast walk. Moved . . . but it was sunk into space.

“Laura,” he called. “Something odd here. Doppler this hull for me and see if it’s moving.”

Laura acknowledged in one businesslike word. Good girl, he thought. I won’t have to worry about you. He coasted along the hull on the bike, staying even with the apparent movement of the anchor.

Laura’s voice came: “It is moving now, toward Sol. About 10 kilometers per hour. Maybe less—it’s so slow it’s hard to read.”

“Good, that’s what I thought.” He hoped he sounded reassuring. He pondered the situation. It was the hull moving then, the forcefield channel sliding by the fixed anchor. Whatever was causing it, it did not seem to be directed against him or the Clem. “Look, baby,” he went on. “Something peculiar is happening.” He explained about the anchor. “Clem may be no battleship, but I guess she’s a match for any piece of wreckage.”

“But you’re out there!”

“I have to see this. I never saw anything like it before. Don’t worry, I’ll pull back if it looks at all dangerous.” Something in the back of his mind told him to go back to his ship and call the navy. He ignored it without much trouble. He had never thought much of calling the navy.

About four hours later the incomprehensible anchor neared the end of its track, within thirty meters of what seemed to be X’s stern. It slowed down and came to a gradual stop a few meters from the end of the track. For a minute nothing else happened. Marty reported the facts to Laura. He sat straight in the bike saddle, regarding the universe, which offered him no enlightenment.

In the space between the anchor and the end of the track, a second patterned shimmer appeared. It must necessarily have been let “down” into space from inside X. Marty felt a creeping chill. After a little while the first anchor vanished, withdrawn through the forcefield into the hull.

Marty sat watching for twenty minutes, but nothing further happened. He realized that he had a crushing grip on the bike controls and that he was quivering with fatigue.

Laura and Marty took turns sleeping and watching, that night aboard the Clementine. About noon the next ship’s day Laura was at the telescope when anchor number one reappeared, now at the “prow” of X. After a few moments the one at the stem vanished. Marty looked at the communicator that he could use any time to call the navy. Faster-than-light travel not being practical so near a sun, it would take them at least several hours to arrive after he decided he needed them. Then he beat his fist against a table and swore. “It can only be that there’s some kind of mechanism in her still operating.” He went to the telescope and watched number one anchor begin its apparent slow journey sternward once more.

“I don’t know. I’ve got to settle this.”

The doppler showed X was again creeping toward Sol at about 10 kilometers an hour.

“Does it seem likely there’d be power left after two thousand years to operate such a mechanism?” Laura asked.

“I think so. Each passenger section had a hydrogen power lamp.” He dug out the microfilm again. “Yeah. a small fusion lamp for electricity to light and heat the section, and to run the emergency equipment for . . .” His voice trailed off, then continued in a dazed tone: “For recycling food and water.”

“Marty, what is it?”

He stood up, staring at the plan. “The only radios were in the lifeboats, and the lifeboats are gone. I wonder . . . sure. The explosion could have torn them apart, blown them away, so . . .”

“What are you talking about?”

He looked again at their communicator. “A transmitter that can get through the noise between here and Pluto wouldn’t be easy to jury-rig, even now. In the Old Empire days . . . “

What?”

“Now about air—” He seemed to wake up with a start, looked at her sheepishly. “Just an idea that hit me.” He grinned. “I’m making another trip.”

An hour later he was landing on X for the third time, touching down near the “stern.” He was riding the moving hull toward the anchor, but it was still many kilometers away.

The spot he had picked was near another small auxiliary airlock, upon which he began work immediately. After ascertaining that the inner door was closed, he drilled a hole in the outer door to relieve any pressure in the chamber to keep the outer door shut. The door opening mechanism suffered from twenty-century cramp, but a vibrator tool shook it loose enough to be operated by hand. The inside of the airlock looked like nothing more than the inside of an airlock.

He patched the hole he had made in the outer door so he would be able—he hoped—to open the inner one normally. He operated the outer door several times to make sure he could get out fast if he had to. After attaching a few extras from the bike to his suit, he said a quick and cheerful goodbye to Laura—not expecting his radio to work from inside the hull—and closed himself into the airlock. Using the vibrator again, he was able to work the control that should let whatever passed for hull atmosphere into the chamber. It came. His wrist gauge told him pressure was building up to approximately spaceship normal, and his suit mikes began to pick up a faint hollow humming from somewhere. He very definitely kept suit and helmet sealed.

The inner door worked perfectly, testifying to the skill of the Old Empire builders. Marty found himself nearly upside down as he went through, losing his footing and his sense of heroic adventure. In return he gained the knowledge that X’s artificial gravity was still at least partly operational. Righting himself, he found that he was in a small anteroom banked with spacesuit lockers, now illuminated only by his suit lights but showing no other signs of damage. There was a door in each of the other walls.

He moved to try the one at his right. First drawing his blaster, he hesitated a moment, then slid it back into its holster. Swallowing, he eased the door open to find only another empty compartment, about the size of an average room and stripped of everything down to the bare deck and bulkheads.

Another door led him into a narrow passage where a few overhead lights burned dimly. Trying to watch over his shoulder and ahead at the same time, he followed the hall to a winding stair and began to climb, moving with all the silence possible in a spacesuit. The stair brought him out onto a long gallery overlooking what could only be the main corridor of X, a passage twenty meters wide and three decks high; it narrowed away to a point in the dimlit distance.

A man came out of a doorway across the corridor, a deck below Marty.

He was an old man and may have been nearsighted, for he seemed unaware of the spacesuited figure gripping a railing and staring down at him. The old man wore a sort of tunic intricately embroidered with threads of different colors, and well tailored to his thin figure, leaving his legs and feet bare. He stood for a moment peering down the long corridor, while Marty stared, momentarily frozen in shock.

Marty pulled back two slow steps from the railing, to where he stood mostly in shadow. Turning his head to follow the old man’s gaze, he noticed that the forcefield where the anchors traveled was visible, running in a sunken strip down the center of the corridor. When the interstellar ship of which X was once a part had been in normal use, the strip might have been covered with a moving walkway of some kind.

The old man turned his attention to a tank where grew a mass of plants with flat, dark green leaves. He touched a leaf, then turned a valve that doled water into the tank from a thin pipe. Similar valves were clustered on the bulkhead behind the old man, and pipes ran from them to many other plant-filled tanks set at intervals down the corridor. “For oxygen,” Marty said aloud in an almost calm voice, and was startled at the sound in his helmet. His helmet airspeaker was not turned on, so of course the old man did not hear him. The old man pulled a red berry from one of the plants and ate it absently.

Marty made a move with his chin to turn on his speaker, but did not complete. He half lifted his arms to wave, but fear of the not-understood held him, made him back up slowly into the shadows at the rear of the gallery. Turning his head to the right he could see the near end of the corridor, and an anchor there, not sunken in space but raised almost out of the forcefield on a framework at the end of the strip.

Near the stair he had ascended was a half-open door, leading into darkness. Marty realized he had turned off his suit lights without consciously knowing of it. Moving carefully so the old man would not see, he lit one and probed the darkness beyond the door cautiously. The room he entered was the first of a small suite that had once been a passenger cabin. The furniture was simple, but it was the first of any kind that he had seen aboard X. Garments hanging in one corner were similar to the old man’s tunic, though no two were exactly alike in design. Marty fingered the fabric with one armored hand, holding it close to his faceplate. He nodded to himself; it seemed to be the kind of stuff produced by fiberrecycling machinery, and he doubted very much that it was anywhere near two thousand years old.

Marty emerged from the doorway of the little apartment, and stood in shadow with his suit lights out, looking around. The old man had disappeared. He remembered that the old man had gazed down the infinite-looking corridor as if expecting something. There was nothing new in sight that way. He turned up the gain of one of his suit mikes and focused it in that direction.

Many human voices were singing, somewhere down there, miles away. He started, and tried to interpret what he heard in some other way, but with an eerie thrill, he became convinced that his first impression was correct. While he studied a plan of going back to his bike and heading in that direction, he became aware that the singing was getting louder—and therefore, no doubt closer.

He leaned back against the bulkhead in the shadow at the rear of the gallery. His suit, dark-colored for space work far from Sol, would be practically invisible from the lighted corridor below, while he could see down with little difficulty. Part of his mind urged him to go back to Laura, to call the navy, because these unknown people could be dangerous to him. But he had to wait and see more of them. He grinned wryly as he realized that he was not going to get any salvage out of X after all.

Sweating in spite of his suit’s coolers, he listened to the singing grow rapidly louder in his helmet. Male and female voices rose and fell in an intricate melody, sometimes blending, sometimes chanting separate parts. The language was unknown to him. Suddenly the people were in sight, first only as a faint dot of color in the distance. As they drew nearer he could see that they walked in a long neat column eight abreast, four on each side of the central strip of forcefield. Men and women, apparently teamed according to no fixed rule of age or sex or size—except that he saw no oldsters or young children.

The people sang and leaned forward as they walked, pulling their weight on heavy ropes that were intricately decorated, like their clothing and that of the old man who had now stepped out of his doorway again to greet them. A few other oldsters of both sexes appeared near him to stand and wait. Through a briefly opened door Marty caught a glimpse of a well-lighted room holding machines he recognized as looms only because of the halffinished cloth they held. He shook his head wonderingly.

All at once the walkers were very near; hundreds of people pulling on ropes that led to a multiple whiffletree, made of twisted metal pipes, that rode over the central trench. The whiffletree and the space anchor to which it was fastened were pulled past Marty—or rather the spot from which he watched was carried past the fixed anchor by the slow, human-powered thrust of X toward Sol.

Behind the anchor came a small group of children, from about the age of ten up to puberty. They pulled on ropes, drawing a cart that held what looked like containers for food and water. At the extreme rear of the procession marched a man in the prime of life, tall and athletic, wearing a magnificent headdress.

About the time he drew even with Marty, this man stopped suddenly and uttered a sharp command. Instantly, the pulling and singing ceased. Several men nearest the whiffletree moved in and loosened it from the anchor with quick precision. Others held the slackened ropes clear as the enormous inertia of X’s mass carried the end of the forcefield strip toward the anchor, which now jammed against the framework holding anchor number two, forcing the framework back where there had seemed to be no room. A thick forcefield pad now became visible to Marty behind the framework, expanding steadily as it absorbed the energy of the powerful stress between ship and anchor. Conduits of some kind, Marty saw, led away from the pad, possibly to where energy might be stored for use when it came time to start X creeping toward the sun again. A woman in a headdress now mounted the framework and released anchor number two, to drop into space “below” the hull and bind X fast to the place where it was now held by anchor number one. A crew of men came forward and began to raise anchor number one . . .

He found himself descending the stair, retracing his steps to the airlock. Behind him the voices of the people were raised in a steady recitation that might have been a prayer. Feeling somewhat as if he moved in a dream, he made no particular attempt at caution, but he met no one. He tried to think, to understand what he had witnessed. Vaguely, comprehension came.

Outside, he said: “I’m out all right, Laura. I want to look at something at the other end, and then I’ll come home.” He scarcely heard what she said in reply, but realized that her answer had been almost instantaneous; she must have been listening steadily for his call all the time. He felt better.

The bike shot him 50 kilometers down the dreamlike length of X toward Sol in a few minutes. A lot faster than the people inside do their traveling, he thought . . . and Sol was dim ahead.

Almost recklessly he broke into X again, through an airlock near the prow. At this end of the forcefield strip hung a gigantic block and tackle that would give a vast mechanical advantage to a few hundred people pulling against an anchor, when it came time for them to start the massive hull moving toward Sol once more.

He looked in almost unnoticed at a nursery, small children in the care of a few women. He thought one of the babies saw him and laughed at him as he watched through a hole in a bulkhead where a conduit had once passed.

“What is it?” asked Laura impatiently as he stepped exhausted out of the shower room aboard the Clem, wrapping a robe around him. He could see his shock suddenly mirrored in her face.

“People,” he said, sitting down. “Alive over there. Earth people. Humans.”

“You’re all right?”

“Sure. It’s just—God!” He told her about it briefly. “They must be descended from the survivors of the accident, whatever it was. Physically, there’s no reason why they couldn’t live when you come to think of it—even reproduce, up to a limited number. Plants for oxygen—I bet their air’s as good as ours. Recycling equipment for food and water, and the hydrogen power lamp still working to run it, and to give them light and gravity . . . they have about everything they need. Everything but a space-drive.” He leaned back with a sigh and closed his eyes. It was hard for him to stop talking to her. She was silent for a little, trying to assimilate it all. “But if they have hydrogen power, couldn’t they have rigged something?” she finally asked. “Some kind of a drive, even if it was slow? Just one push and they’d keep moving.”

Marty thought it over. “Moving a little faster won’t help them.” He sat up and opened his eyes again. “And they’d have a lot less work to do every day. I imagine too large a dose of leisure time could be fatal to all of them.

“Somehow they had the will to keep going, and the intelligence to find a way—to evolve a system of life that worked for them, that kept them from going wild and killing each other. And their children, and their grandchildren, and after that . . . ” Slowly he stood up. She followed him into the control room, where they stood watching the image of X that was still focused on the telescope screen.

“All those years,” Laura whispered. “All that time.”

“Do you realize what they’re doing?” he asked softly. “They’re not just surviving, turned inward on weaving and designing and music.

“In a few hours they’re going to get up and start another day’s work. They’re going to pull anchor number one back to the front of their ship and lower it. That’s their morning job. Then someone left in the rear will raise anchor number two. Then the main group will start pulling against number one, as I saw them doing a little while ago, and their ship will begin to move toward Sol. Every day they go through this they move about fifty kilometers closer to home.

“Honey, these people are walking home and pulling their ship with them. It must be a religion with them by now, or something very near it . . . ” He put an arm around Laura.

“Marty—how long would it take them?”

“Space is big,” he said in a flat voice, as if quoting something he had been required to memorize.

After a few moments he continued. “I said just moving a little faster won’t help them. Let’s say they’ve traveled 50 kilometers a day for two thousand years. That’s somewhere near 36 million kilometers. Almost enough to get from Mars to Earth at their nearest approach. But they’ve got a long way to go to reach the neighborhood of Mars’ orbit. We’re well out beyond Pluto here. Practically speaking, they’re just about where they started from.” He smiled wanly. “Really, they’re not far from home, for an interstellar ship. They had their accident almost on the doorstep of their own solar system, and they’ve been walking toward the threshold ever since.”

Laura went to the communicator and began to set it up for the call that would bring the navy within a few hours. She paused.

“How long would it take them now,” she asked, “to get somewhere near Earth?”

“Hell would freeze over. But they can’t know that anymore. Or maybe they still know it and it just doesn’t bother them. They must just go on, tugging at that damned anchor day after day, year after year, with maybe a holiday now and then . . . I don’t know how they do it. They work and sing and feel they’re accomplishing something . . . and really, they are, you know. They have a goal and they are moving toward it. I wonder what they say of Earth, how they think about it?”

Slowly Laura continued to set up the communicator.

Marty watched her. “Are you sure?” he pleaded suddenly.

“What are we doing to them?”

But she had already sent the call.

For better or worse, the long voyage was almost over.

Poetry

The poem titled “The Road Not Taken” (full text) by Robert Frost.
This is the full text of the most wonderful story titled “The Road Not Taken”.  "The Road Not Taken" is an ambiguous poem that allows the reader to think about choices in life, whether to go with the mainstream or go it alone. If life is a journey, this poem highlights those times in life when a decision has to be made. Among English speakers and especially in North America it is a comparatively famous poem. Its central theme is the divergence of paths, literal yet also clearly figurative, although its interpretation is noted for being complex and (like the road fork itself) potentially divergent.
The poem "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost.  This is a poem that I memorized in First Grade. I hated the memorization of poems, and cried and protested, to no avail. Later, when I was much older, I began to appreciate this memorization. Not only did it give me an appreciation of English language, but also of art and beauty.
