The overarching ideology of Pentagon officials is larger military budgets and ongoing permanent war posture. Their new war target, explicitly, is domestic "white rage."
The most chilling aspect of all is that the top military brass has taken it upon themselves to essentially conduct domestic policy. Initially as propaganda but soon to be at the point of a gun. All under the wholly contrived war cry of "white rage".
It was Hitlers "Brown Shirts" who were his political shock troops. He murdered the leaders of those troops once he got into office and formed the SS to oversee the military and administer the "final solution" of the Jewish question. Too many individuals throw around Hitler references without ever knowing anything about him or his rise to power. Even the years he ruled are are a vague period of time to most University students who invoke his name at the drop of a hat.
You mean he hired people like this General who could demand adherence to a belief system that's not the U.S. Constitution and the oath every member of the U.S. Military takes towards protecting us?
Granted, it does say enemies both foreign and domestic, but Gen. Milly sees a 75 year old grandma walking through the halls of the U.S. Capitol with her walker as a grave threat to the very existence of the United States while a growing group looks at General Milly and thinks "has the man lost his marbles?"
Generals prefer war cause that's what theyb are good at and that's what they like to do. Like surgeons like to cut. They are looking for enemies now and White Rage is the target. Who else do they have anyway! This is high school shit at the sophmore level.
75 year old grandmas can turn that walker into a lethal weapon if given ample time. And that is why we are so concerned about this demographic and not so much about the angry goateed 46 year old middle class slighted by society male with a small armory at home
"75 year old grandmas can turn that walker into a lethal weapon if given ample time."--Mack
Are you serious? It is exactly those with guns that are the real target of the Neo-Marxist Biden regime. The uberleft has been out to disarm America for decades. The 'White Rage" Milley is talking about is the average patriot who believes in the priciples spelled out in the Declaration of Independence. It is only 'Wokespeak' to frame them as white. They are after Trump supporters, white, black, yellow or chartreuse.
yup. And her knitting needles must be taken from her on a plance cause they can be weapons. And moms cannot breast feed their babies anymore and must pump their own milk into bottles to feed them. Madness reigns.
You are so right! I'm reading Andy Ngo's book on Antifa and just got to the part about Hitler's rise and the brownshirts and their relationship with communism and socialism. Highly recommend.
We can disagree. I think Hitler and the Nazis were so (truly not sure what to say here!! Evil? Sick? Twisted?) that they stand outside the normal flow of history. Stalin and Mao were both mass killers as well but based on faulty ideology.
Hitler and the Nazi drew from a long line of racial theorists going back to Sir Francis Galton, and his protege' Margaret Sanger, who promoted sterilization of the "lesser people" or the later 'untermensch' ideology of the Nazis.
So the Nazis were far from unique in the history of racism.
The Nazis even pointed to US 'Indian Reservations' as the model for their concentration camps.
The only unique aspect of Nazism was that it took place in a highly modernized industrial society.
Francis Galton, the youngest of their eight children, was born in 1822, 13 years after his cousin Charles Darwin. … He was also Charles Darwin’s cousin. And, inspired by his reading of Darwin, he was the founder of eugenics: the “science” of improving the human race through selective breeding.
REread Shirer's two books: Berlin Diary in which he warned the US and the world. And then the great Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Then you have a very good solid basis on which to stand.
You are correct. The devil is in the details eh. Actuallyb I preferred Shirer's #BerlinDiary published in 1940 even over Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. But in RAFOTR it is easy to see why Stalin opted to go with Hitler as he did not trust us and our allies. Easy to see why.
RAFOTR is the first “adult” book I read in my own in High school. Been reading an extensive multi volume bio of Stalin by Klotkin which gives some insight into his thinking
Zizek has lots to say about Stalin also and he admires him greatly. What astonished me about RAFOTR was how minutely the seconds were ticking away as Stalin vaccilated between going with the allies or Hitler at the very last minute.
Shortly after the war, Winston Churchill feigned surprise when he announced in his famous speech at Fulton, Mo. in March 1946 that an “Iron Curtain” now divided Europe and claimed that he alone had foreseen this unfortunate event. His claim was questionable given that he and FDR had authored the Yalta Agreement and previous agreements which had ceded virtually all of eastern Europe and much of Central Europe to the Soviets, thereby creating the Iron Curtain, leading to the Cold War between the Western and Soviet blocs that lasted half a century. Of course, for any educated observer of international affairs and world history at the time, the end result of the U.S.-U.K. decision to provide massive military-industrial aid to the Soviet Union was clear from the onset.
European balance of power tilted
One of the main results of the war was that the balance of power in Europe was destroyed and the Soviet Union became the new hegemon of continental Europe and, for a time following the Communist takeover of mainland China, Asia as well. Visionary anti-Communist statesmen such as former President Herbert Hoover, predicted this tragic and apocalyptic outcome if the Western Powers chose to ally with the Soviet Union. The U.S. and U.K. could have won the war against Nazi Germany and liberated Europe without their Unholy Alliance with what President Ronald Reagan later rightly termed “an evil empire”, let alone without providing massive military aid to it. It would have been far better for the U.S. to have simply signed a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union and raced them to see which of the two countries could liberate the Nazi-occupied countries first. That way, the U.S. and U.K. would not have been complicit in the many horrific Soviet war crimes including the mass murderers of millions of people who dared resist the Soviet Communist onslaught helping to extinguish the flames of freedom from nearly a dozen nations in Eastern Europe, which yearned to be liberated from their enslavement by tyrannical dictators.
During the Pacific war, the Chinese National Revolutionary Army, led by Chiang Kai Shek, fought gallantly against the Japanese. By tying down nearly 80 percent of Japan’s Army divisions in China enabled the U.S. to engage in a Pacific island-hopping campaign that defeated Japan in three and a half years. They were able to accomplish this great feat despite being provided with only about 1 percent of the military assistance that the U.S. had given to the Soviet Union.
In 1946, the year after World War II ended, America’s Chinese Nationalist allies seemed on the verge of defeating Mao’s Soviet-backed Red Army and winning the Chinese Civil War. Then, General George C. Marshall, who had been sent by President Truman to lead U.S. foreign policy with regards to China, decided to cut off all military and logistical support to Chinese Nationalist forces, depriving them of the fuel and ammunition they needed to prevent China from being taken over by murderous Communist forces.
In the end communism prevailed
In response to this unprecedented gift by the Truman Administration to Stalin and CCP leader Mao Zedong, the U.S. Congress voted to approve $1 billion in military aid to help the Nationalists avert total defeat. Sadly, President Truman and Secretary Marshall ordered the U.S. Pacific Fleet to dump all of the tanks, aircraft and other U.S. weapons that Congress had been earmarked for the Nationalist freedom fighters into the Pacific Ocean rather than allow them to fall into Chinese Nationalist hands. In the meantime, Stalin had, since August 1945, been arming and equipping Mao’s Red Army forces with the latest tanks and other weapons in the Manchurian sanctuary we granted to him to help Mao Communize all of mainland China. When Mao proclaimed victory in the Chinese Civil War on Oct. 1, 1949, the only surprising thing about it is that it took them so long to finalize their victory.
Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, was the first book I bought and read after graduating from high school. I was really interested in the Nazi phenomina because of what I saw the US doing in Vietnam, with that aggressive war policy, and how so many of the "adults" were so totally with it.
I was 16 years old when the coup d'etat took place in Dallas in 1963.
None of it made any sense to me until a few years later when the disputes over the Warren Report began to surface in articles in Rolling Stone Magazine, and the LA Free Press.
In the subsequent years I became an expert on the JFK Assassination.
So it's been a while then and you can refresh your memory by re-reading chapter 27 to understand why some people (me) are incensed when they read/hear anybody voicing those same ideas openly and in this forum no less.
Not really a surprise to me as this country continues to support/promote Nazi behavior - see 2014 coup in Ukraine. As an illustration, there's this resolution brought on annually in the UN - "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance". Guess who votes "No" every single time. Also, who joins it. Here's one of the latest records: https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/1656166?ln=en
And many of the brown shirts were gay including their leader. I wonder if Hitler would just assume the proud boys were gay if he were around today. Squeeze what he can out of them then toss aside he would
Tempting, but the upshot would be that Bobby Banker's kid would get Pentagon duty, while Suzie Senator's offspring would be securing the shores of Miami Beach from the ever-present danger of foreign invasion.
[1]"thousands of people to assault *this* building ...
[2]"... and overturn the Constitution of United States of America?"
Chilling set of words there. Not simply "overturn the election" -- which is a bad enough distortion of the aims of the rally participants -- but in this single sentence of his *prepared statement" he provides:
[1] (Close enough to) a statement of fact
[2] A complete Orwellian inversion, from the stated intent by the vast majority, including Trump, to excercise their First Amendment right to "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" ... to become interpeted as an "insurrection" overthrowing the government, that is the *system* of government defined by the Constitution.
He's *not* interested in "maintaining an open mind" or "understanding" it. That's already been done, either by his handlers, or by his cowardice and/or avarice.
What he *is* interested in playing his part cementing in place the pre-ordained plan to finalize implementation of totalitarian management of the population. After shredding the Bill of Rights for 20 years, little remains to be done. Thus, CYA. So, layer it on thick with emotional criticisms of 200-year-old history!
Pistol-whipping antebellum politicians in 2021 is child's play. "Leaders" should know -- and do -- far better. How about starting with: "Why was this 'massive problem' not solved starting in Obama's administration? Or for that matter, back in the 1960s-70s?"
Very pathetic right wing nonsense by the stop the steak idiots. But they don’t have a lot of power and are not the hot girls at the dance. Trump is over. Fuck him. And I voted for that ass.
The 2020 Presidential Election was rigged by a cabal of corporate oligarchs to install their own meat-puppet into the White House as a titular figure so they could rule behind the curtain of Oz
PROLOGUE
It has become increasingly obvious after several months of dealing with the repercussions of the TIMES Magazine article by Molly Ball that some preliminary remarks are in order to understand the meaning of this article.
First and foremost is Ms. Ball’s use of language. The language she uses is what George Orwell referred to as, “Political Language”, wherein the terminology takes on rather deceitful nuances to portray a message that although true, is couched in coded terms. So that when Ms. Ball is describing what is clearly a conspiracy to manipulate the 2020 Presidential election, she chose the term “to save” it.
This key phrase has allowed for a disingenuous interpretation of the message Ms. Ball is giving the readers. This tactic allows for mollification of those who will automatically recoil from the real message that the article conveys, that the 2020 presidential election was ‘rigged’ ie; stolen by the cabal of corporatist oligarchs who conspired to place the candidate of their choice in the White House.
Another thing is obvious from the article, and that is that Ms. Ball was obviously taken into confidence by the leadership of this conspiracy and given first hand detailed information. They wanted this story to be revealed to the public. They knew because of their powerful positions that they are impervious to any legal consequences for their plainly illegal activities, as they have the impunity of wealth and political power. These people can brag about this outrage and get away with it.
There are quite a few things that have been revealed since the 2020 Presidential Election that prove the election was rigged.The most important of these are those revealed in the TIME Magazine article by Molly Ball on Feb. 4, 2021 that describe in great detail a conspiracy to rig the 2020 Presidential Election. I shall herein transcribe that in its complete form:
Of course. What did you think was gonna go down when congress critters were screaming for defund the police. So now thyey have retired, quit, left the dying force. Who is left to fill the gap. THE SWAT TEAMS! And they will turn on the generals who are just paper tigers.
Watch for heavy federal regulation, if not nationalization, of local police departments. That will be a key turning point. All the vilification of local law enforcement, the defunding campaigns, it all points in that direction.
That might happen in some states that are so heavily red that they'd prefer not to be a state....just a art of United America. If given the choice, they'd drop the whole "STATES" thing in our name.
The irony is these are the STATISTS...who hate the whole concept of STATES.
You are confusing the states-of-a-federation with THE State, you know, that part of a nation that is collectivized-in-nature, as opposed to the private sector.
File 285 pre-emptive lawsuits to unilaterally change established election laws that forbid signature verification; allow late ballots to be counted; and allow non postmarked ballots to be counted...then win by 44,000 votes in MI, PA and GA...and then declare anyone who challenges the integrity of that Consent Decree Hustle as a Holocaust-style denier.
This is as big a lie, and as transparent, as Russia Gate. Those people in the Capitol were Trump supporters who really thought he was being undemocratically denied the presidency. That piddling, unarmed group had no chance to take over a city, let alone the US! And they were clearly not motivated by racism. What a f*cking farce. Is there no end this? Why can't everyone be a little more intelligent?
They are Schrodinger's Revolutionaries, simultaneously capable of overthrowing the world's most powerful government and about to be crushed by nukes and F-15's.
The Bidenistas are delusional nutloaves being puppeted by the corporatist oligarchs that rigged the 2020 presidential election to put that senile old fart in the White House.
Kind of like the [ blithering idiot unable to manage anything + evil genius destroying the world ] Donald Trump. Sometimes they just oursmart themselves.
Never, as that Democrat operative said, let a crises go to waste. Given this unarmed a and falsely reported demonstration, this talk of "insurrection" and threat to democracy should be laughed out of any conversation.
Schumer comparing this to Pearl Harbor shows the extremes these soulless piles of human rubble will go to advance their corrupt careers, sucking money at the taxpayers expense, to enhance their useless and dependent lives. Gotta have either term limits or age limits on these permeant leeches living off the life blood of American workers. Six to ten years then get the "F" off the public payroll. The decrepit bunch running the Democrat Party should give pause to even the Democrat voters. Hanging on to office like a dying person lusting for just one more day. Have you, at long last, no dignity?
Now that lunatic Nancy Pelosi is going for ANOTHER sham investigation inro the 1/6 riot, even though it is very clear that the riot was planned and executed by FBI operatives and dupes they talked into joining them.
See:
FBI Role in 1/6/2021
Yes. It appears that the FBI very likely did have a role in organizing the January 6th Capitol breach.
Questions About the FBI’s Role in 1/6 Are Mocked Because the FBI Shapes Liberal Corporate Media
The FBI has been manufacturing and directing terror plots and criminal rings for decades. But now, reverence for security state agencies reigns.
The axis of liberal media outlets and their allied activist groups — CNN, NBC News, The Washington Post, Media Matters — are in an angry uproar over a recent report questioning the foreknowledge and involvement of the FBI in the January 6 Capitol riot. As soon as that new report was published on Monday, a consensus instantly emerged in these liberal media precincts that this is an unhinged, ignorant and insane conspiracy theory that deserves no consideration.
The original report, published by Revolver News and then amplified by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, documented ample evidence of FBI infiltration of the three key groups at the center of the 1/6 investigation — the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys, and the Three Percenters — and noted how many alleged riot leaders from these groups have not yet been indicted. While low-level protesters have been aggressively charged with major felonies and held without bail, many of the alleged plot leaders have thus far been shielded from charges.
The implications of these facts are obvious. It seems extremely likely that the FBI had numerous ways to know of any organized plots regarding the January 6 riot (just as the U.S. intelligence community, by its own admission, had ample advanced clues of the 9/11 attack but, according to their excuse, tragically failed to “connect the dots”). There is no doubt that the FBI has infiltrated at least some if not all of these groups — which it has been warning for years pose a grave national security threat — with informants and/or undercover spies. It is known that Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio has served as an FBI informant in the past, and the disrupted 2020 plot by Three Percenters members to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) was shaped and driven by what The Wall Street Journal reported were the FBI’s “undercover agents and confidential informants.”
This is the main reason that all the video footage from 1/6 has not seen the light of day. Closer examination of the footage will reveal people who are informants, actual FBI agents and others who were egging on this protest gone bad. Even the actions of the Capital Police who were not doing anything to stem the tide of individuals entering the building.
How, in God's name, does an unarmed American citizen get shot at point blank range and the gov't has the right to cover up this MURDER. It is murder until the circumstances are known and it is legally determined to be justified (???) Was that Police Officer drunk, on drugs or just crazy to shoot this woman who was trespassing. Not even a felony. There better be some answers or the next time it might be an actual armed insurrection directed at the politicians covering up this murder.
Now a new name has surfaced in the Babbitt imbroglio — Lt. Michael L. Byrd — and while USCP Communications Director Eva Malecki won’t confirm he is the shooter, in this case she isn’t denying it.
In addition, Byrd’s resume lines up with what is known about the experience and position of the officer involved in the shooting — a veteran USCP officer who holds the rank of lieutenant and is the commander of the House Chamber Section of the Capitol Police.
Following the shooting, Byrd’s Internet footprint was scrubbed, including his social media and personal photos.
Yes NotMe$, the video footage from 1/6 being kept under raps is most suspicious. That is one reason we must have Republicans doing an investigation on their own even if Pelosi won't allow the people that McCarthy chose. They need to subpeona those videos and go through them dilegently and identify every character who was actively involved in real violence. I would wager that many will turn out to be FBI agents accompanied by the dupes they brought into the operation.
Pelosi certainly would suppress those videos totally and not even mention them. She is a rat in a woman costume.
Just the comaparison to Pearl Harbor is adolescent and childish. Reflects his lack of education and skill with language. Congress critters are substandard minds. No wonder AOC stands out. At least she has studied some. Schumer fought her winning the first time as he knew a competitor when he heard one and knew he would lose to her language skills and savvy. This is not to be read as my favoring her in any way though. I think she is being groomed to be the replacement for old Bernie.
She’s a very effective communicator but also can only win in 3% of congressional districts or something. She’ll end up with a sweet Georgetown condo though. Gotta respect a player even if I hate her.
I guess it was the selfie revolution. Since that is pretty much what they did. Got into the Capitol and started taking selfies of one another. I guess the left thinks if they managed to take more selfies our government would fall. What I especially liked was that our "great brave leaders" ran and hid in a bunker. Way to fight for our freedom. Why didn't any of our brave house leaders, you know, maybe come out and address the crowd? Talk to them and hear their grievances? They were a bunch of cowards who ran and hid. Typical. On 9-11 George Bush, whatever people think of him, insisted on returning to the Whitehouse on that day even though the Secret Service insisted he stay away from DC while we were attacked. He refused and demanded that they return to DC. Now that is brave (for a politician anyway). Our House leaders ran an hid in a bunker because some guy in a Viking helmet was taking selfies.
Your comment made images for me that were Hollywood perfection. Or maybe just Woody Allen movie clips. Yes. That image you painted is absolutely wonderful. AOC tanked for me with her mouth quivering fearful tearful face afraid for her life. None of them were ever in a real hard core protest where they engaged with real danger. I remember the night MOVE first came out to the edge of their front lawn and stood there in camouflage uniforms with AK - 57? - over their shoulders and spouting thru microphones about political ideology. Then everyone went home when it got dark and they all went back into their house on Winter Street. And I stood there shaking in fear. Now they were in there all alone and no one was there to witness if the police came and went in and assassinated them as had been done to the Black Panthers. So I took my dog home - around the block - drove my car up the driveway across the street and settled down to slepp there all night WATCHING and WITNESSING. Me. Alone. The only one who was afraid for them. No one came that night and the seige began for one entire year those people could not leave the boundary of their house. Food and water was brought in for them. One entire year until they couldn't stand it, came out and started to provoke the police who were happy to respond with their own aggression.
Trump is not part of the oligarchy, he is an outsider to the whole game the Dems and Repugs played for decades. He literally took the Republican party and molded it into his own image. That is why the corporatist olicarchs rigged the 2020 election to take Trump down and replace him with their own meat-puppet Biden.
About 5-10% of GA conservatives in their "elections are fake! I'm not voting!" huff, sat on their hands in the run-offs. Democrats had close to their November turnout - very successful GOTV in GA for them last year, and that's why they won GA. If conservatives had voted, the Republicans would have won those races, and the situation in DC would be very different. Nice going, Big Mouth Trump. I doubt that sitting on their hands thing will be permanent despite their whining and crowing. Trump is already fading.
I don’t care if it’s a monarch who thinks their parentage gives them the right to rule or some two faced politician thinking they obtained a mandate from the so called “people.”
They don’t represent me or anyone else. Quicker we figure that out, the better we’ll be.
Naw, he lost big time. Clobbered by moderates. Don’t believe the hype. I voted for him, but home not straight up LOST. Big mouth Trump, what an idiot. Base elections don’t win presidential elections. Duh.
I really get sick of reading bullshit from blowhards like APZ who doesn't have clue as to what the fuck he is talking about. He's like a yabbering Jack-in-the-Box that keeps popping up here like clown.
If you read Virilio you will understand how they did it by inflaming the synchronous emotional reaction that globalism in the world was able to produce. Everyone at the instantaneous moment reacting with emotional hysteria. This is new. SPEED has entered the picture for good.
Understand that it was being perceived as "a crime against the SOVEREIGN as THE FEDERAL HOUSE WAS ATTACKED. BLM did not do that. They rioted, looted etc and even burned some institutional buildings but they DID NOT ATTACK THE CASTLE OF THE KING! That is the crime that has so inflamed Congress and the govt. And yes those people were awared that the election had been stolen and that Pence was going to deny certification of the voted. So they were dressed for Halloween.
So when morons storm the capital it's "white rage" but when people of color (and white ppl) destroy, loot, and create danger it's "for a good cause"--- ok got it. How about they stop focusing on color and look at what's really causing the issues (ie. lack of education and mental health resources, victim mentality, etc.).
PS Critical Race Theory is: Critical Race Theory is an ideology started in academia in the 70s that says racism exists everywhere - in every person and system - and the job of the critical theorist is to assess HOW (not if) racism occurred in any circumstance. Racism is always ASSUMED to have occurred.
Another way to think of critical race theory is this: It's the opposite of what Martin Luther King preached. It's the idea that we should judge people on the basis of their race, that someone's race is the only thing that matters about them, not the content of their character.
That is who I assumed the General was referring to. They are all white and full of rage they act on nightly.
What the government doesn’t tell anyone is that they include ANTIFA violence in their stats of “white extremist” violence. Any wonder there is so much of it?
CRT = endless $$$ for CRT academics until they die since it's systematic and therefore endemic per their definition. The left's endless hustle continues.
"morons of colour" exist too. Head on over to Worldstar and do a little research. You'll see them beating the crap out of Korean and Vietnamese senior citizens and taking their wallets and purses for George Floyd.
Greenwald is this generation's George Orwell, Edward R. Murrow, and H.L. Mencken all rolled into one. Even though I'm an atheist, I invariably finish his columns and think "Thank God for GG, and God bless you, sir !"
I had an eerily similar thought just this week. I was thinking Greenwald is like Orwell and Mencken. Yes, really. No joke.
Especially Orwell. Orwell was a committed "Democratic Socialist" to the end. Granted, he couldn't really articulate what the label meant, but he remained committed to it. But, more importantly, he remained committed to liberal democratic process, and he learned to be wary of centralized processes ... because they could threaten liberal democracy.
One could see him come to appreciate the hazards of centralization page by page in "The Road to Wigan Pier". For him, that road led to Spain, and it was in Spain that he seemed to really develop confidence in his world view, which, of course, he wrote about in "Homage to Catalonia".
On top of that, he was willing to stick his neck out and fight to preserve liberal democratic process -- literally. He took a bullet through the neck outside Madrid (?) when he was fighting with the internacionales.
Perhaps, but the point is that spiritual belief systems are beside the point (i.e. pale in comparison to the value to the People of the true journalist).
Instead of studying "White Rage" perhaps the military could study how to actually win a war instead of spending 20 years in a hell hole like Afghanistan wasting lives and money.
But's it's easier to fight fake enemies like "White Supremacy" and "White Rage" instead of actual enemies.
True, my assumption is flawed. I don't think the US has any interest in winning. They just want a permanent state of war. Good for careers. Unless you are the poor bastard that ends up dying for some Flag Officer's promotion proscpects.
Jimmy Dore did a good segment how Biden's "leaving Afghanistan" is a head fake. He's pulling out the "military" and moving it to "private contractors" - 18000 of them. Private contractors have even less accountability and spend even more money.
"They just want a permanent state of war."--Slipkid
You hit the nail on the head. Read the PNAC (Project for a New American Century) document produced by all the people who ended up in G.W. Bush's administration. 9/11 was their "new Pearl Harbor" as an excuse to invade and occupy the Middle East. The US military is STILL in Afghanistan 20 years later, and the entire region is still in mayhem.
There probably exist many nations who, as current or former (the F-15 is OLD) customers of the U.S. industrial-military-complex (yes, Saoirse, it is a real thing), would be more than willing to enter into some sort of leasing arrangement. (Maybe pilot/service personnel included?)
The fledging colonists had Laffayette (among others), after all.
“. . .and I want to understand white rage. And I'm white.” - Gen. Mark Milley.
Far too many Americans are now penniless. You’re not.
The small crowd in the January 6 Capitol riot was a tiny fraction of the disenfranchised population you’re supposed to be protecting. Tens of millions of your countrymen have lost their jobs, their savings, their health care, their retirement, their homes, and - in a neoliberal system stacked against them - any hope of recovery. They are desperate.
You really want to understand? Then stop presumptively attributing the rage to racism. Stop calling it “white.”
You are exactly right. They want to label the people on January 6 as racist, so we can collectively ignore the real concern, which is of course the disappearing middle class. And the last I heard, none of the people who entered the capitol building were armed. The only person shot was Ashli Babbitt.
Exactly. They want to prevent people in the same economic class from banding together to oppose the continuing wealth extraction by the oligarchy. This false narrative is intended to divide and confuse the sheep that the oligarchy preys on.
Important comment, but there's a weak point in "you’re supposed to be protecting." The countries we're fighting are not a threat to the tens of millions of Americans you describe.
This 'agenda' is terrifying. What does the military plan to do? Detain and/or execute (nuke) half the population? Arrest any journalist who questions the party line? I'm beginning to feel like Saudi Arabia is a safer place to live. And that, in itself, is a frightening statement.
Today if you are 'outed' as a conservative or god forbid a past Trump supporter you will be unemployable in the fortune 500, but maybe that is a good thing...Go ask Rudy about his law license. If you are outed as a Proud Boy no bank will open an account, no credit card will approve you. How long until AT&T and VZW join the parade. This is the untouchable class in 2021.
They'll do what they always do: engage in a bloody and fruitless war to spend those dollars for their pals at Halliburton, etc.
I think the world for them is won and the LAST place they need to control utterly is the CONUS.
Expect to see minor players "trumped up" as existential threats and expect to see drone strikes, doxxing, account seizures, property seizures, bodily seizures and "work" camps opening up.
Enjoy your new world of terror, pay for the ticket, take the ride.
Yes, YOUR world... and your fucking vote doesn't count.
It's going to be happening all around you for the unforeseeable future, so you might as well come to terms that it is, in fact your world and we don't fucking have a say in it.
Of course it is... why would the richest people on earth hand any sort of actual power to the plebles when they run the whole game on multiple continents?
"Give me a break, man! That's a bunch of MALARKEY!" hahaha
And because the Chairman of the JCS who serves at the pleasure of the President kisses the ass of the party in more or less unified control of the US government, this is the conclusion you draw?
Their inability to pass legislation should give you a tip on why this isn't all that fearsome.
I couldn’t help but think of my dad while watching Milley’s horrifying speech. My dad grew up in rural poverty and voluntarily joined the Army at 19. He spent a year of unspeakable terror in Vietnam, only to be vilified by ruthless leftwingers when he came back. He got married, had two kids and worked 12-15 hour days until he retired at 65. He played by the rules, raised his children well, and refused benefits from the government. He voted for Donald Trump- both times. He supported, as did I, those who protested last year’s bogus “election”. Now he is vilified again, but this time by the military he sacrificed so much for. This country has been taken over by left wing rot. Those of you who helped these despicable people gain power and turn it on patriots, like my dad, have a lot to answer for. Completely unforgivable. Shame on you.
Oh, don't get me started on the 'sacrificed for their country' crock. What was the sacrifice for? In both of those wars? Indeed, they sacrificed a lot, many gave their lives. Why did they have to do that? What was achieved?
In this particular case, it appears the person was had twice. Hoodwinked by the government, then by a con man.
You are pathetic. You spit on the sacrifices my father made because you are unable to separate the sacrifices made by individuals for their country from the elite governing class that has forever sent other peoples kids to war to fight and sometimes die. How is it that you have let your political ideology trump all? Don't bother answering. I don't care. You are not worth the time.
Makes me laugh, all these guys who's daddies were big heroes in The War, getting all puffed up over folks not paying them the proper respect.
Anything I say sure as hell ain't gonna kill them, amirite? Shouldn't even scratch 'em, far as I can tell.
But maybe that's it. Ideas are stronger than bullets. Stronger than guns. And when you encounter people like me that just do not give a fuck, where there is not any sacred cow we're not willing to turn into hamburger when we find out that's all it's good for, I suppose you should be scared.
You have zero respect for anyone and embody everything I hate about the left. Tough talk on a comment board, but you wouldn’t have the guts to say that shit to my face. Lol.
All I've said was pure truth. Maybe as an insecure person (or a rabid dog) you treat everything as an affront. A lot of Americans sacrificed a lot, including their lives for - read my lips - nothing that benefited them or the country.
I understand it's very difficult to accept the truth. Hence the threats of violence.
Ask the Iraq/Afghanistan veterans (20 of which are killing themselves every day) if their sacrifice meant anything.
Speaking of respect, I respect Dennis Kucinich a lot. I respect Glenn Greenwald, Aaron Mate, Michael Hudson. So, your initial premise is bunk too.
"My people got genocided by the real **cunts** Russians. " - can you expand on this? You claim to be a history buff, if not a full-blown scholar, should be easy for you.
Your people got genocided by Russians? In the Middle East? I wonder if there is a UN resolution to this effect? You are not mixing things up here, are you? Like Israel and Palestinians? You should understand that the freedom of speech doesn't mean you have to spew all sort of garbage.
Speaking of US saving Jews, google the ship with Jewish refugees turned away by the US.
He was 19 and a poor country kid. Going into the military was his only way out- to live for himself. Pretty shitty to imply he was a dumbass when you know nothing about him.
I don’t feel the need to score points. That’s not why I’m engaging with you. I’m secure in my values. Try thinking outside of yourself and open your mind to other points of view. Perhaps my dad feels betrayed by a system that he sacrificed so much for. He wasn’t an idiot; he was 19 and desperate. Trying to get out of a cycle of poverty and a bad situation at home. Grow up and stop seeking lame “headshots” on a comment board. Be a better, more understanding person. Good luck in life. You’re going to need it.
sasha obviously has no idea of what he/she is talking about. President Trump did his best to "drain the swamp" and expose the deep state machinations, That is why he was contiually attacked by the apparatchiks from FBI, CIA, the corrupt judicial system and the corporatist oligarchs of HighTech, as well as the propaganda arm of the national security state, the mainstream Mockingbird press.
The Russiagate Hoax (hatched by Hillary Clintion), two sham impechments hatched by Nancy Pelosi and her gang of DNC henchment. All promoted 24-7 for four years by the lying mainstream press. STILL being promoted by the same parties six months into the new illegitimate Biden regime.
If sasha cannot recall such recent events as these, why should anyone trust his/her bullshit about larger historical issues. This jerk sasha is obviously an ÜberLiberal Neo-Marxist propagandist, and a shill of the corporatist state.
Oy vey... You are such a confused little turd. Can't make up your mind - am I a dirty pinko-commie? Or am I a corporatist shill? Calling my pointing the transparent fact that Trump drained no swamp a transparent disinformation...

No obvious connection, here; but just this morning the Miami Sun-Sentinal published an article questioning how the condo in Surfside was destroyed & the article has already been removed from the Internet.
Glenn, you don’t get a star on your collar in the Army without being a progressive liberal. It’s recurring indoctrination. Please look and tell us how many Army Generals did not go to West Point. It’s a good ole boys club with the flag officers. If you aren’t made in their image, you won’t get into the club. If you looked and saw how many combat hardened officers that are highly decorated get stuck at colonel because they aren’t fringe leftist, then you’d be shocked. This plan has been in the works for a very long time. They’ll likely never turn the rank and file enlisted into zealots, but the officer ranks are completely corrupted.
The most chilling aspect of all is that the top military brass has taken it upon themselves to essentially conduct domestic policy. Initially as propaganda but soon to be at the point of a gun. All under the wholly contrived war cry of "white rage".
Venezuela, here we come.
Yes. The open involvement of the military in explicitly political territory is not a welcome development by any measure.
Perhaps they're taking cues from their rivals over at the CIA.
Or Hitler's SS Troops who came on the scene gang busters
It was Hitlers "Brown Shirts" who were his political shock troops. He murdered the leaders of those troops once he got into office and formed the SS to oversee the military and administer the "final solution" of the Jewish question. Too many individuals throw around Hitler references without ever knowing anything about him or his rise to power. Even the years he ruled are are a vague period of time to most University students who invoke his name at the drop of a hat.
You mean he hired people like this General who could demand adherence to a belief system that's not the U.S. Constitution and the oath every member of the U.S. Military takes towards protecting us?
Granted, it does say enemies both foreign and domestic, but Gen. Milly sees a 75 year old grandma walking through the halls of the U.S. Capitol with her walker as a grave threat to the very existence of the United States while a growing group looks at General Milly and thinks "has the man lost his marbles?"
Generals prefer war cause that's what theyb are good at and that's what they like to do. Like surgeons like to cut. They are looking for enemies now and White Rage is the target. Who else do they have anyway! This is high school shit at the sophmore level.
75 year old grandmas can turn that walker into a lethal weapon if given ample time. And that is why we are so concerned about this demographic and not so much about the angry goateed 46 year old middle class slighted by society male with a small armory at home
Yeh Im a grandma type and when you are old you have nuttin to lose eh. That's dangerous!
"75 year old grandmas can turn that walker into a lethal weapon if given ample time."--Mack
Are you serious? It is exactly those with guns that are the real target of the Neo-Marxist Biden regime. The uberleft has been out to disarm America for decades. The 'White Rage" Milley is talking about is the average patriot who believes in the priciples spelled out in the Declaration of Independence. It is only 'Wokespeak' to frame them as white. They are after Trump supporters, white, black, yellow or chartreuse.

You are so right! I'm reading Andy Ngo's book on Antifa and just got to the part about Hitler's rise and the brownshirts and their relationship with communism and socialism. Highly recommend.
Hitler and the Nazis were sui generis
Liked- but disagree politely. Were not Hitler and the rest creatures of their time?
We can disagree. I think Hitler and the Nazis were so (truly not sure what to say here!! Evil? Sick? Twisted?) that they stand outside the normal flow of history. Stalin and Mao were both mass killers as well but based on faulty ideology.
Hitler and the Nazi drew from a long line of racial theorists going back to Sir Francis Galton, and his protege' Margaret Sanger, who promoted sterilization of the "lesser people" or the later 'untermensch' ideology of the Nazis.
So the Nazis were far from unique in the history of racism.
The Nazis even pointed to US 'Indian Reservations' as the model for their concentration camps.
The only unique aspect of Nazism was that it took place in a highly modernized industrial society.
\\][//
Understand your points but still put Hitler/Nazis in a class by themselves
Francis Galton, the youngest of their eight children, was born in 1822, 13 years after his cousin Charles Darwin. … He was also Charles Darwin’s cousin. And, inspired by his reading of Darwin, he was the founder of eugenics: the “science” of improving the human race through selective breeding.

REread Shirer's two books: Berlin Diary in which he warned the US and the world. And then the great Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Then you have a very good solid basis on which to stand.
You are correct. The devil is in the details eh. Actuallyb I preferred Shirer's #BerlinDiary published in 1940 even over Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. But in RAFOTR it is easy to see why Stalin opted to go with Hitler as he did not trust us and our allies. Easy to see why.
RAFOTR is the first “adult” book I read in my own in High school. Been reading an extensive multi volume bio of Stalin by Klotkin which gives some insight into his thinking
Zizek has lots to say about Stalin also and he admires him greatly. What astonished me about RAFOTR was how minutely the seconds were ticking away as Stalin vaccilated between going with the allies or Hitler at the very last minute.
Churchill's "The Gathering Storm" also makes it easy to see. Timeline is something people abuse constantly jumping in at a convenient for them point.
U.S., U.K., helped create Iron Curtain
Shortly after the war, Winston Churchill feigned surprise when he announced in his famous speech at Fulton, Mo. in March 1946 that an “Iron Curtain” now divided Europe and claimed that he alone had foreseen this unfortunate event. His claim was questionable given that he and FDR had authored the Yalta Agreement and previous agreements which had ceded virtually all of eastern Europe and much of Central Europe to the Soviets, thereby creating the Iron Curtain, leading to the Cold War between the Western and Soviet blocs that lasted half a century. Of course, for any educated observer of international affairs and world history at the time, the end result of the U.S.-U.K. decision to provide massive military-industrial aid to the Soviet Union was clear from the onset.
European balance of power tilted
One of the main results of the war was that the balance of power in Europe was destroyed and the Soviet Union became the new hegemon of continental Europe and, for a time following the Communist takeover of mainland China, Asia as well. Visionary anti-Communist statesmen such as former President Herbert Hoover, predicted this tragic and apocalyptic outcome if the Western Powers chose to ally with the Soviet Union. The U.S. and U.K. could have won the war against Nazi Germany and liberated Europe without their Unholy Alliance with what President Ronald Reagan later rightly termed “an evil empire”, let alone without providing massive military aid to it. It would have been far better for the U.S. to have simply signed a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union and raced them to see which of the two countries could liberate the Nazi-occupied countries first. That way, the U.S. and U.K. would not have been complicit in the many horrific Soviet war crimes including the mass murderers of millions of people who dared resist the Soviet Communist onslaught helping to extinguish the flames of freedom from nearly a dozen nations in Eastern Europe, which yearned to be liberated from their enslavement by tyrannical dictators.
During the Pacific war, the Chinese National Revolutionary Army, led by Chiang Kai Shek, fought gallantly against the Japanese. By tying down nearly 80 percent of Japan’s Army divisions in China enabled the U.S. to engage in a Pacific island-hopping campaign that defeated Japan in three and a half years. They were able to accomplish this great feat despite being provided with only about 1 percent of the military assistance that the U.S. had given to the Soviet Union.
In 1946, the year after World War II ended, America’s Chinese Nationalist allies seemed on the verge of defeating Mao’s Soviet-backed Red Army and winning the Chinese Civil War. Then, General George C. Marshall, who had been sent by President Truman to lead U.S. foreign policy with regards to China, decided to cut off all military and logistical support to Chinese Nationalist forces, depriving them of the fuel and ammunition they needed to prevent China from being taken over by murderous Communist forces.
In the end communism prevailed
In response to this unprecedented gift by the Truman Administration to Stalin and CCP leader Mao Zedong, the U.S. Congress voted to approve $1 billion in military aid to help the Nationalists avert total defeat. Sadly, President Truman and Secretary Marshall ordered the U.S. Pacific Fleet to dump all of the tanks, aircraft and other U.S. weapons that Congress had been earmarked for the Nationalist freedom fighters into the Pacific Ocean rather than allow them to fall into Chinese Nationalist hands. In the meantime, Stalin had, since August 1945, been arming and equipping Mao’s Red Army forces with the latest tanks and other weapons in the Manchurian sanctuary we granted to him to help Mao Communize all of mainland China. When Mao proclaimed victory in the Chinese Civil War on Oct. 1, 1949, the only surprising thing about it is that it took them so long to finalize their victory.

Why Foucault can be so mind changing once you learn to think genealogically all that time stuff stops dead in the street.
Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, was the first book I bought and read after graduating from high school. I was really interested in the Nazi phenomina because of what I saw the US doing in Vietnam, with that aggressive war policy, and how so many of the "adults" were so totally with it.
I was 16 years old when the coup d'etat took place in Dallas in 1963.
None of it made any sense to me until a few years later when the disputes over the Warren Report began to surface in articles in Rolling Stone Magazine, and the LA Free Press.
In the subsequent years I became an expert on the JFK Assassination.

So it's been a while then and you can refresh your memory by re-reading chapter 27 to understand why some people (me) are incensed when they read/hear anybody voicing those same ideas openly and in this forum no less.
Not really a surprise to me as this country continues to support/promote Nazi behavior - see 2014 coup in Ukraine. As an illustration, there's this resolution brought on annually in the UN - "Combating glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance". Guess who votes "No" every single time. Also, who joins it. Here's one of the latest records: https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/1656166?ln=en
And many of the brown shirts were gay including their leader. I wonder if Hitler would just assume the proud boys were gay if he were around today. Squeeze what he can out of them then toss aside he would
Defund them all. What a mess our government is.
One term only for ALL elective offices. (Even dogcatcher.) That way all lobby money disappears. No one wants to pay for dead horses.
Defunding the military is admirable, but they will become even more overtly political if you try.
Bring back the draft.
Tempting, but the upshot would be that Bobby Banker's kid would get Pentagon duty, while Suzie Senator's offspring would be securing the shores of Miami Beach from the ever-present danger of foreign invasion.

Milley asks:
"[W]hat is it that caused ...
[1]"thousands of people to assault *this* building ...
[2]"... and overturn the Constitution of United States of America?"
Chilling set of words there. Not simply "overturn the election" -- which is a bad enough distortion of the aims of the rally participants -- but in this single sentence of his *prepared statement" he provides:
[1] (Close enough to) a statement of fact
[2] A complete Orwellian inversion, from the stated intent by the vast majority, including Trump, to excercise their First Amendment right to "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" ... to become interpeted as an "insurrection" overthrowing the government, that is the *system* of government defined by the Constitution.
He's *not* interested in "maintaining an open mind" or "understanding" it. That's already been done, either by his handlers, or by his cowardice and/or avarice.
What he *is* interested in playing his part cementing in place the pre-ordained plan to finalize implementation of totalitarian management of the population. After shredding the Bill of Rights for 20 years, little remains to be done. Thus, CYA. So, layer it on thick with emotional criticisms of 200-year-old history!
Pistol-whipping antebellum politicians in 2021 is child's play. "Leaders" should know -- and do -- far better. How about starting with: "Why was this 'massive problem' not solved starting in Obama's administration? Or for that matter, back in the 1960s-70s?"
What a sickening political animal.

The 2020 Presidential Election was rigged by a cabal of corporate oligarchs to install their own meat-puppet into the White House as a titular figure so they could rule behind the curtain of Oz
PROLOGUE
It has become increasingly obvious after several months of dealing with the repercussions of the TIMES Magazine article by Molly Ball that some preliminary remarks are in order to understand the meaning of this article.
First and foremost is Ms. Ball’s use of language. The language she uses is what George Orwell referred to as, “Political Language”, wherein the terminology takes on rather deceitful nuances to portray a message that although true, is couched in coded terms. So that when Ms. Ball is describing what is clearly a conspiracy to manipulate the 2020 Presidential election, she chose the term “to save” it.
This key phrase has allowed for a disingenuous interpretation of the message Ms. Ball is giving the readers. This tactic allows for mollification of those who will automatically recoil from the real message that the article conveys, that the 2020 presidential election was ‘rigged’ ie; stolen by the cabal of corporatist oligarchs who conspired to place the candidate of their choice in the White House.
Another thing is obvious from the article, and that is that Ms. Ball was obviously taken into confidence by the leadership of this conspiracy and given first hand detailed information. They wanted this story to be revealed to the public. They knew because of their powerful positions that they are impervious to any legal consequences for their plainly illegal activities, as they have the impunity of wealth and political power. These people can brag about this outrage and get away with it.
There are quite a few things that have been revealed since the 2020 Presidential Election that prove the election was rigged.The most important of these are those revealed in the TIME Magazine article by Molly Ball on Feb. 4, 2021 that describe in great detail a conspiracy to rig the 2020 Presidential Election. I shall herein transcribe that in its complete form:

Of course. What did you think was gonna go down when congress critters were screaming for defund the police. So now thyey have retired, quit, left the dying force. Who is left to fill the gap. THE SWAT TEAMS! And they will turn on the generals who are just paper tigers.
Watch for heavy federal regulation, if not nationalization, of local police departments. That will be a key turning point. All the vilification of local law enforcement, the defunding campaigns, it all points in that direction.
Already getting it with all the censoring on social media and mass media. Very blatant now and they dont even try to hide it.
Yes. BLM have been used once again against their own interests. Clever strategy eh
That might happen in some states that are so heavily red that they'd prefer not to be a state....just a art of United America. If given the choice, they'd drop the whole "STATES" thing in our name.
The irony is these are the STATISTS...who hate the whole concept of STATES.
You are confusing the states-of-a-federation with THE State, you know, that part of a nation that is collectivized-in-nature, as opposed to the private sector.
Exactly
Not going to happen. Progressives don’t have enough power to accomplish that.
Hmmm, “Consent decree” does sound vaguely familiar
Yes..the 2020 Consent Decree Hustle.
File 285 pre-emptive lawsuits to unilaterally change established election laws that forbid signature verification; allow late ballots to be counted; and allow non postmarked ballots to be counted...then win by 44,000 votes in MI, PA and GA...and then declare anyone who challenges the integrity of that Consent Decree Hustle as a Holocaust-style denier.
Latino voters are about to tell all of these fuckers to get bent, and even black ppl are starting to go, “What’s up with these crazy white ppl?”

Now that lunatic Nancy Pelosi is going for ANOTHER sham investigation inro the 1/6 riot, even though it is very clear that the riot was planned and executed by FBI operatives and dupes they talked into joining them.
See:
FBI Role in 1/6/2021
Yes. It appears that the FBI very likely did have a role in organizing the January 6th Capitol breach.
Questions About the FBI’s Role in 1/6 Are Mocked Because the FBI Shapes Liberal Corporate Media
The FBI has been manufacturing and directing terror plots and criminal rings for decades. But now, reverence for security state agencies reigns.
The axis of liberal media outlets and their allied activist groups — CNN, NBC News, The Washington Post, Media Matters — are in an angry uproar over a recent report questioning the foreknowledge and involvement of the FBI in the January 6 Capitol riot. As soon as that new report was published on Monday, a consensus instantly emerged in these liberal media precincts that this is an unhinged, ignorant and insane conspiracy theory that deserves no consideration.
The original report, published by Revolver News and then amplified by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, documented ample evidence of FBI infiltration of the three key groups at the center of the 1/6 investigation — the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys, and the Three Percenters — and noted how many alleged riot leaders from these groups have not yet been indicted. While low-level protesters have been aggressively charged with major felonies and held without bail, many of the alleged plot leaders have thus far been shielded from charges.
The implications of these facts are obvious. It seems extremely likely that the FBI had numerous ways to know of any organized plots regarding the January 6 riot (just as the U.S. intelligence community, by its own admission, had ample advanced clues of the 9/11 attack but, according to their excuse, tragically failed to “connect the dots”). There is no doubt that the FBI has infiltrated at least some if not all of these groups — which it has been warning for years pose a grave national security threat — with informants and/or undercover spies. It is known that Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio has served as an FBI informant in the past, and the disrupted 2020 plot by Three Percenters members to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) was shaped and driven by what The Wall Street Journal reported were the FBI’s “undercover agents and confidential informants.”
https://thedissedent.page/2021/07/01/fbi-role-in-1-6-2021/
\\][//
This is the main reason that all the video footage from 1/6 has not seen the light of day. Closer examination of the footage will reveal people who are informants, actual FBI agents and others who were egging on this protest gone bad. Even the actions of the Capital Police who were not doing anything to stem the tide of individuals entering the building.
How, in God's name, does an unarmed American citizen get shot at point blank range and the gov't has the right to cover up this MURDER. It is murder until the circumstances are known and it is legally determined to be justified (???) Was that Police Officer drunk, on drugs or just crazy to shoot this woman who was trespassing. Not even a felony. There better be some answers or the next time it might be an actual armed insurrection directed at the politicians covering up this murder.
Ashli Babbit shooting
Now a new name has surfaced in the Babbitt imbroglio — Lt. Michael L. Byrd — and while USCP Communications Director Eva Malecki won’t confirm he is the shooter, in this case she isn’t denying it.
In addition, Byrd’s resume lines up with what is known about the experience and position of the officer involved in the shooting — a veteran USCP officer who holds the rank of lieutenant and is the commander of the House Chamber Section of the Capitol Police.
Following the shooting, Byrd’s Internet footprint was scrubbed, including his social media and personal photos.

Yes NotMe$, the video footage from 1/6 being kept under raps is most suspicious. That is one reason we must have Republicans doing an investigation on their own even if Pelosi won't allow the people that McCarthy chose. They need to subpeona those videos and go through them dilegently and identify every character who was actively involved in real violence. I would wager that many will turn out to be FBI agents accompanied by the dupes they brought into the operation.
Pelosi certainly would suppress those videos totally and not even mention them. She is a rat in a woman costume.

No dignity from Schumer. He and many of the rest of them have way outlived their usefulness. Sad and embarrassing.
I loathe him, but he’s just trying to win with a shitty hand. He’ll fail. And I will love it.
Just the comaparison to Pearl Harbor is adolescent and childish. Reflects his lack of education and skill with language. Congress critters are substandard minds. No wonder AOC stands out. At least she has studied some. Schumer fought her winning the first time as he knew a competitor when he heard one and knew he would lose to her language skills and savvy. This is not to be read as my favoring her in any way though. I think she is being groomed to be the replacement for old Bernie.
She’s a very effective communicator but also can only win in 3% of congressional districts or something. She’ll end up with a sweet Georgetown condo though. Gotta respect a player even if I hate her.

I guess it was the selfie revolution. Since that is pretty much what they did. Got into the Capitol and started taking selfies of one another. I guess the left thinks if they managed to take more selfies our government would fall. What I especially liked was that our "great brave leaders" ran and hid in a bunker. Way to fight for our freedom. Why didn't any of our brave house leaders, you know, maybe come out and address the crowd? Talk to them and hear their grievances? They were a bunch of cowards who ran and hid. Typical. On 9-11 George Bush, whatever people think of him, insisted on returning to the Whitehouse on that day even though the Secret Service insisted he stay away from DC while we were attacked. He refused and demanded that they return to DC. Now that is brave (for a politician anyway). Our House leaders ran an hid in a bunker because some guy in a Viking helmet was taking selfies.
Selfies that end up with heavy fines. Total idiots.
Your comment made images for me that were Hollywood perfection. Or maybe just Woody Allen movie clips. Yes. That image you painted is absolutely wonderful. AOC tanked for me with her mouth quivering fearful tearful face afraid for her life. None of them were ever in a real hard core protest where they engaged with real danger. I remember the night MOVE first came out to the edge of their front lawn and stood there in camouflage uniforms with AK - 57? - over their shoulders and spouting thru microphones about political ideology. Then everyone went home when it got dark and they all went back into their house on Winter Street. And I stood there shaking in fear. Now they were in there all alone and no one was there to witness if the police came and went in and assassinated them as had been done to the Black Panthers. So I took my dog home - around the block - drove my car up the driveway across the street and settled down to slepp there all night WATCHING and WITNESSING. Me. Alone. The only one who was afraid for them. No one came that night and the seige began for one entire year those people could not leave the boundary of their house. Food and water was brought in for them. One entire year until they couldn't stand it, came out and started to provoke the police who were happy to respond with their own aggression.
She was casted fabulously. Gotta hand it to the “socialists” for that play.

Trump is not part of the oligarchy, he is an outsider to the whole game the Dems and Repugs played for decades. He literally took the Republican party and molded it into his own image. That is why the corporatist olicarchs rigged the 2020 election to take Trump down and replace him with their own meat-puppet Biden.

Have you considered perhaps… not voting?
The GA runoffs were a one off. :) Don’t count on that again.
What's your point?
About 5-10% of GA conservatives in their "elections are fake! I'm not voting!" huff, sat on their hands in the run-offs. Democrats had close to their November turnout - very successful GOTV in GA for them last year, and that's why they won GA. If conservatives had voted, the Republicans would have won those races, and the situation in DC would be very different. Nice going, Big Mouth Trump. I doubt that sitting on their hands thing will be permanent despite their whining and crowing. Trump is already fading.
That’s just not voting for the wrong reason.
I don’t care if it’s a monarch who thinks their parentage gives them the right to rule or some two faced politician thinking they obtained a mandate from the so called “people.”
They don’t represent me or anyone else. Quicker we figure that out, the better we’ll be.
Naw, he lost big time. Clobbered by moderates. Don’t believe the hype. I voted for him, but home not straight up LOST. Big mouth Trump, what an idiot. Base elections don’t win presidential elections. Duh.
I really get sick of reading bullshit from blowhards like APZ who doesn't have clue as to what the fuck he is talking about. He's like a yabbering Jack-in-the-Box that keeps popping up here like clown.

If you read Virilio you will understand how they did it by inflaming the synchronous emotional reaction that globalism in the world was able to produce. Everyone at the instantaneous moment reacting with emotional hysteria. This is new. SPEED has entered the picture for good.
Understand that it was being perceived as "a crime against the SOVEREIGN as THE FEDERAL HOUSE WAS ATTACKED. BLM did not do that. They rioted, looted etc and even burned some institutional buildings but they DID NOT ATTACK THE CASTLE OF THE KING! That is the crime that has so inflamed Congress and the govt. And yes those people were awared that the election had been stolen and that Pence was going to deny certification of the voted. So they were dressed for Halloween.
The stop the steal crowd could actually be intelligent. That would help them a bit.
But the proper response is happening via Republican majority legislatures which is where it should. Tighten up loosy goosy voting laws.
It will fade soon.
So when morons storm the capital it's "white rage" but when people of color (and white ppl) destroy, loot, and create danger it's "for a good cause"--- ok got it. How about they stop focusing on color and look at what's really causing the issues (ie. lack of education and mental health resources, victim mentality, etc.).
PS Critical Race Theory is: Critical Race Theory is an ideology started in academia in the 70s that says racism exists everywhere - in every person and system - and the job of the critical theorist is to assess HOW (not if) racism occurred in any circumstance. Racism is always ASSUMED to have occurred.
Another way to think of critical race theory is this: It's the opposite of what Martin Luther King preached. It's the idea that we should judge people on the basis of their race, that someone's race is the only thing that matters about them, not the content of their character.
Riot, protest or insurrection, it all depends on the skin color of the participants.
In actuality, it all depends on their usefulness to the political regime.
This is true. There are a lot of white kids in black bloc.
That is who I assumed the General was referring to. They are all white and full of rage they act on nightly.
What the government doesn’t tell anyone is that they include ANTIFA violence in their stats of “white extremist” violence. Any wonder there is so much of it?
White black bloc fascists have got to be the biggest LARPers anywhere on the planet.
Don't forget that when anything serious goes down that might put them in danger, the first thing you hear is "someone call the police!"
"LARPers"!!!! That is descriptive perfection, M. Scott. Thank you!
Which usually go hand in hand
It depends on corporate sponsorship and deep pockets bail money.
CRT = endless $$$ for CRT academics until they die since it's systematic and therefore endemic per their definition. The left's endless hustle continues.
"morons of colour" exist too. Head on over to Worldstar and do a little research. You'll see them beating the crap out of Korean and Vietnamese senior citizens and taking their wallets and purses for George Floyd.
You are confusing "for a good cause" with "state-sanctioned".
Well, the scare quotes illuminated M. CNA's sarcasm. I think he would agree to the state-sanctioned nature of the real crimess being committed.
lol - exactly - thanks! (technically she)
Thank you, Ms. CNA. So you are saying I got you partly right! ;)
Greenwald is this generation's George Orwell, Edward R. Murrow, and H.L. Mencken all rolled into one. Even though I'm an atheist, I invariably finish his columns and think "Thank God for GG, and God bless you, sir !"
I like it.
I had an eerily similar thought just this week. I was thinking Greenwald is like Orwell and Mencken. Yes, really. No joke.
Especially Orwell. Orwell was a committed "Democratic Socialist" to the end. Granted, he couldn't really articulate what the label meant, but he remained committed to it. But, more importantly, he remained committed to liberal democratic process, and he learned to be wary of centralized processes ... because they could threaten liberal democracy.
One could see him come to appreciate the hazards of centralization page by page in "The Road to Wigan Pier". For him, that road led to Spain, and it was in Spain that he seemed to really develop confidence in his world view, which, of course, he wrote about in "Homage to Catalonia".
On top of that, he was willing to stick his neck out and fight to preserve liberal democratic process -- literally. He took a bullet through the neck outside Madrid (?) when he was fighting with the internacionales.
Also, Orwell ripped on left wing media at times and was somewhat censored for it.
Thank you for this history, M. Chauncey. Point well supported.
Never a better time to lose atheism!
it is never a good time to lose atheism.
Perhaps, but the point is that spiritual belief systems are beside the point (i.e. pale in comparison to the value to the People of the true journalist).
It's pretty simple to me....if you're thanking God, you might want to drop atheism.
Hey, even atheists aren't perfect.
Yes Brian, Greenwald is the best, most honest and genuine journalist of our time.

Instead of studying "White Rage" perhaps the military could study how to actually win a war instead of spending 20 years in a hell hole like Afghanistan wasting lives and money.
But's it's easier to fight fake enemies like "White Supremacy" and "White Rage" instead of actual enemies.
You assume they want to win.
We've been in Afghanistan so long that tours there are necessary in order to advance in the Army. It's become part of their career planning.
True, my assumption is flawed. I don't think the US has any interest in winning. They just want a permanent state of war. Good for careers. Unless you are the poor bastard that ends up dying for some Flag Officer's promotion proscpects.
Jimmy Dore did a good segment how Biden's "leaving Afghanistan" is a head fake. He's pulling out the "military" and moving it to "private contractors" - 18000 of them. Private contractors have even less accountability and spend even more money.
"They just want a permanent state of war."--Slipkid
You hit the nail on the head. Read the PNAC (Project for a New American Century) document produced by all the people who ended up in G.W. Bush's administration. 9/11 was their "new Pearl Harbor" as an excuse to invade and occupy the Middle East. The US military is STILL in Afghanistan 20 years later, and the entire region is still in mayhem.
\\][//
the Taliban is in a position to fight back...
That's right, according to Grandpa Gropes no one can fight back in America without F-15s and Nukes...
I'm going to start a GoFundMe and sell the house to buy an F-15. Seems reasonable.
There probably exist many nations who, as current or former (the F-15 is OLD) customers of the U.S. industrial-military-complex (yes, Saoirse, it is a real thing), would be more than willing to enter into some sort of leasing arrangement. (Maybe pilot/service personnel included?)
The fledging colonists had Laffayette (among others), after all.
If I enter into a leasing agreement for an F-15, I will be the one who flies it even if it is the last thing I do. 🙂
Perhaps he should be reminded that his job is to kill enemy people and break things. After he gets that right then we can talk about other stuff.
“. . .and I want to understand white rage. And I'm white.” - Gen. Mark Milley.
Far too many Americans are now penniless. You’re not.
The small crowd in the January 6 Capitol riot was a tiny fraction of the disenfranchised population you’re supposed to be protecting. Tens of millions of your countrymen have lost their jobs, their savings, their health care, their retirement, their homes, and - in a neoliberal system stacked against them - any hope of recovery. They are desperate.
You really want to understand? Then stop presumptively attributing the rage to racism. Stop calling it “white.”
You are exactly right. They want to label the people on January 6 as racist, so we can collectively ignore the real concern, which is of course the disappearing middle class. And the last I heard, none of the people who entered the capitol building were armed. The only person shot was Ashli Babbitt.
Exactly. They want to prevent people in the same economic class from banding together to oppose the continuing wealth extraction by the oligarchy. This false narrative is intended to divide and confuse the sheep that the oligarchy preys on.
Important comment, but there's a weak point in "you’re supposed to be protecting." The countries we're fighting are not a threat to the tens of millions of Americans you describe.
Or any Americans at all, save a few of the ultra-rich billionaires; these wars are for them, and only them.
This 'agenda' is terrifying. What does the military plan to do? Detain and/or execute (nuke) half the population? Arrest any journalist who questions the party line? I'm beginning to feel like Saudi Arabia is a safer place to live. And that, in itself, is a frightening statement.
Banks will be enlisted to “de bank” and the IRS will also seize assets.
Today if you are 'outed' as a conservative or god forbid a past Trump supporter you will be unemployable in the fortune 500, but maybe that is a good thing...Go ask Rudy about his law license. If you are outed as a Proud Boy no bank will open an account, no credit card will approve you. How long until AT&T and VZW join the parade. This is the untouchable class in 2021.
They'll do what they always do: engage in a bloody and fruitless war to spend those dollars for their pals at Halliburton, etc.
I think the world for them is won and the LAST place they need to control utterly is the CONUS.
Expect to see minor players "trumped up" as existential threats and expect to see drone strikes, doxxing, account seizures, property seizures, bodily seizures and "work" camps opening up.
Enjoy your new world of terror, pay for the ticket, take the ride.
Not my world. I didn't vote for this.
Yes, YOUR world... and your fucking vote doesn't count.
It's going to be happening all around you for the unforeseeable future, so you might as well come to terms that it is, in fact your world and we don't fucking have a say in it.
Voting? that's rich.
I'll add that if you complain too loudly or refuse to accept it as your new normal... you'll be carted off like the rest of the "dissidents".
Just keep your head down, sir or ma'am.
I completely agree our votes don't matter. It's all rigged.
Of course it is... why would the richest people on earth hand any sort of actual power to the plebles when they run the whole game on multiple continents?
"Give me a break, man! That's a bunch of MALARKEY!" hahaha
Remember American Patriots took down a monarchy in 1776. And we can do it again in the 21st century is push comes to shove.

Yea 'ht'? you live here, where you gonna run to Disneyland?

The real target is Trump supporters. everything else is simply bullshit rhetoric.

And because the Chairman of the JCS who serves at the pleasure of the President kisses the ass of the party in more or less unified control of the US government, this is the conclusion you draw?
Their inability to pass legislation should give you a tip on why this isn't all that fearsome.
Better start making plans now
I couldn’t help but think of my dad while watching Milley’s horrifying speech. My dad grew up in rural poverty and voluntarily joined the Army at 19. He spent a year of unspeakable terror in Vietnam, only to be vilified by ruthless leftwingers when he came back. He got married, had two kids and worked 12-15 hour days until he retired at 65. He played by the rules, raised his children well, and refused benefits from the government. He voted for Donald Trump- both times. He supported, as did I, those who protested last year’s bogus “election”. Now he is vilified again, but this time by the military he sacrificed so much for. This country has been taken over by left wing rot. Those of you who helped these despicable people gain power and turn it on patriots, like my dad, have a lot to answer for. Completely unforgivable. Shame on you.
I hope your Dad is not too disappointed by the swamp that grew larger under DJT.
Mocking those who sacrificed for their country is a very bad look. I appreciate your father's service, Greg, as I do my own Korean War era vet father.
I've met my fair share of people who regret that service to know sanctimonious ass eating when I see it.
Sorry, we're not hungry. Help yourself, though.
Oh, don't get me started on the 'sacrificed for their country' crock. What was the sacrifice for? In both of those wars? Indeed, they sacrificed a lot, many gave their lives. Why did they have to do that? What was achieved?
In this particular case, it appears the person was had twice. Hoodwinked by the government, then by a con man.
You are pathetic. You spit on the sacrifices my father made because you are unable to separate the sacrifices made by individuals for their country from the elite governing class that has forever sent other peoples kids to war to fight and sometimes die. How is it that you have let your political ideology trump all? Don't bother answering. I don't care. You are not worth the time.
You father was duped. End of story.
Makes me laugh, all these guys who's daddies were big heroes in The War, getting all puffed up over folks not paying them the proper respect.
Anything I say sure as hell ain't gonna kill them, amirite? Shouldn't even scratch 'em, far as I can tell.
But maybe that's it. Ideas are stronger than bullets. Stronger than guns. And when you encounter people like me that just do not give a fuck, where there is not any sacred cow we're not willing to turn into hamburger when we find out that's all it's good for, I suppose you should be scared.
Oh well. Ain't my problem.
Sasha need something long and stiff to ride, then maybe she would be a bit less uptight.
\\][//
You have zero respect for anyone and embody everything I hate about the left. Tough talk on a comment board, but you wouldn’t have the guts to say that shit to my face. Lol.
Ah, the tough guy comes out. You packing?
All I've said was pure truth. Maybe as an insecure person (or a rabid dog) you treat everything as an affront. A lot of Americans sacrificed a lot, including their lives for - read my lips - nothing that benefited them or the country.
I understand it's very difficult to accept the truth. Hence the threats of violence.
Ask the Iraq/Afghanistan veterans (20 of which are killing themselves every day) if their sacrifice meant anything.
Speaking of respect, I respect Dennis Kucinich a lot. I respect Glenn Greenwald, Aaron Mate, Michael Hudson. So, your initial premise is bunk too.
And why would I want to see your face?
It's way funnier to watch you lose your shit on this board, tbh.
It's better to ignore him. It's like arguing with a Buzzfeed listicle and just as superficial, plus he gets really rude in about 20 seconds.
Hey, I'm much faster than that. My wife told me.
Here, here!
If you knew any of it, you'd have a little more sympathy for what people went through.
But I suppose the dumb cunt look suits you.
Why should anyone have sympathy for Sasha. Clearly he/she has no respect for anyone else. And you're no better.
I don’t respect those that gargle the taint of a violent system.
There’s a board in your eye, boy. Best see to it.
"My people got genocided by the real **cunts** Russians. " - can you expand on this? You claim to be a history buff, if not a full-blown scholar, should be easy for you.
Sorry, I'm not a socialist.
Your people got genocided by Russians? In the Middle East? I wonder if there is a UN resolution to this effect? You are not mixing things up here, are you? Like Israel and Palestinians? You should understand that the freedom of speech doesn't mean you have to spew all sort of garbage.
Speaking of US saving Jews, google the ship with Jewish refugees turned away by the US.
Do you have a point or is this just lame leftwing snark?
You know, maybe your Dad should’ve done the smart thing and lived for himself.
The system isn’t there for us. Never has been. Long pst time y’all realize that - left or right.
He was 19 and a poor country kid. Going into the military was his only way out- to live for himself. Pretty shitty to imply he was a dumbass when you know nothing about him.
What does it say about a country, system, where the only way out is to sign up and go kill some Charlies, eh?
Even if one were to accept this as a good thing, then saying that was a sacrifice is a lie, isn't it?
Boom, headshot.
You engage in rhetorical gobbledygook and heuristic assumption.
Please, M. sasha, stop trying to "improve" your adopted country, will you?
Shittier than using him to score cheap rhetorical points?
Imma go with "No," champ.
I don’t feel the need to score points. That’s not why I’m engaging with you. I’m secure in my values. Try thinking outside of yourself and open your mind to other points of view. Perhaps my dad feels betrayed by a system that he sacrificed so much for. He wasn’t an idiot; he was 19 and desperate. Trying to get out of a cycle of poverty and a bad situation at home. Grow up and stop seeking lame “headshots” on a comment board. Be a better, more understanding person. Good luck in life. You’re going to need it.
Yes.
Um okay. Get back on your meds, Sybil
Sage advice. Just like watch out for those alligators in a much bigger swamp.
That is a lie, M. sasha. You know quite well that DJT was and is an outsider. The swamp was exposed and therefore on the decline under DJT.
You know this. That makes you a liar.
What you wrote above makes you dumb. But you don't know that. Appointing the Christian Zionist Mike Pompeo is not draining the swamp.
sasha obviously has no idea of what he/she is talking about. President Trump did his best to "drain the swamp" and expose the deep state machinations, That is why he was contiually attacked by the apparatchiks from FBI, CIA, the corrupt judicial system and the corporatist oligarchs of HighTech, as well as the propaganda arm of the national security state, the mainstream Mockingbird press.
The Russiagate Hoax (hatched by Hillary Clintion), two sham impechments hatched by Nancy Pelosi and her gang of DNC henchment. All promoted 24-7 for four years by the lying mainstream press. STILL being promoted by the same parties six months into the new illegitimate Biden regime.
If sasha cannot recall such recent events as these, why should anyone trust his/her bullshit about larger historical issues. This jerk sasha is obviously an ÜberLiberal Neo-Marxist propagandist, and a shill of the corporatist state.
\\][//
You are a confused little zealot. You have no clue, neither about Trump nor me.
Horseshit sasha, you are a corporatist shill spreading incredibly lame and transparent disinformation.
\\][//
Oy vey... You are such a confused little turd. Can't make up your mind - am I a dirty pinko-commie? Or am I a corporatist shill? Calling my pointing the transparent fact that Trump drained no swamp a transparent disinformation...
Lay off the coke and get into lithium. Results will be remarkable.

No obvious connection, here; but just this morning the Miami Sun-Sentinal published an article questioning how the condo in Surfside was destroyed & the article has already been removed from the Internet.
Glenn, you don’t get a star on your collar in the Army without being a progressive liberal. It’s recurring indoctrination. Please look and tell us how many Army Generals did not go to West Point. It’s a good ole boys club with the flag officers. If you aren’t made in their image, you won’t get into the club. If you looked and saw how many combat hardened officers that are highly decorated get stuck at colonel because they aren’t fringe leftist, then you’d be shocked. This plan has been in the works for a very long time. They’ll likely never turn the rank and file enlisted into zealots, but the officer ranks are completely corrupted.
My concern is the possibility of a coming purge of the rank and file.
