Don’t Poke the Bear

A Norwegian folktale tells the story of some pesky trolls who, upon a winter’s night, encounter a sleeping bear. One of the peskier of the little varmints poked the bear’s nose with a stick. The trolls were then forcibly and violently dispersed.

Why on earth would anyone want a war with Russia? The Russians have no history of launching offensives any distance beyond their homeland. Nor do they tolerate invasion. Right now their main concerns are maintaining their traditions in the face of rabid globalism and building a prosperous and modern civilization.

Still, more a few of the demented and perfumed fools in and around Washington dream and scheme for conflict with Russia. Much of the press, perhaps reluctantly, goes along. Even Matt Drudge is guilty and he usually does a fine job in presenting story headlines. One he ran yesterday:

nimbus-image-1473283672210

The headline in red. The damned Russians are harassing our boys. It’s like Top Gun all over again except this is real.

Clicking on the link revealed a not so critical background. A Russian fighter did intercept a U.S. intelligence plane – over the Black Sea. If it’s true the pilot came within 10 feet of our government’s plane, that might indeed indicate reckless flying. However, again, it happened over the Black Sea.

If this happened over the Gulf of Mexico or Long Island Sound, that would be different. However, the last time I checked the Black Sea was located, not in America’s backyard, but Russia’s. Let me check again:

nimbus-image-1473337200541

Google Maps.

Ah. It hasn’t moved.

The Sea is huge and mostly open. If not intruding into Russian airspace our planes have a right to be there. A very costly, non-Constitutional right that our Founder’s warned against exercising. Still, geographically speaking, who has a larger claim of interest in the area? (It’s not us).

It might be different if the headline read: “Russian fighter shoots down American plane!” They didn’t. I assume all they wanted to do, in dramatic fashion, was to say, “Hey, interlopers! We know you’re here … and we have fighter jets.”

By itself this incident, regardless of how it’s read, is not a casus belli. But it is one more beat of the drums in possibly the most insane tune ever played.

If the madmen of D.C. won’t have peace and friendship with Russia (which they should want and which would be easily obtained), then, at the very least, they should leave the bear alone.

If they want problems, they need not look 5,000 miles to find them. A host of ills is close to home and mostly of the madmen’s doings.

Don’t poke the bear; don’t feed the lunatic trolls.

Playing Both Sides Against Nothing

Eric Margolis explains the increasingly idiotic American war in Syria.

What a mess! In the crazy Syrian war, US-backed and armed groups are fighting other US-backed rebel groups. How can this be?

It is so because the Obama White House had stirred up the war in Syria but then lost control of the process. When the US has a strong president, he can usually keep the military and intelligence agencies on a tight leash.

…

As a result, the two arms of offensive US strategic power, the Pentagon, and CIA, went separate ways in Syria. Growing competition between the US military and militarized CIA broke into the open in Syria.

Fed up with the astounding incompetence of the White House, the US military launched and supported its own rebel groups in Syria, while CIA did the same.

Fighting soon after erupted in Syria and Iraq between the US-backed groups. US Special Forces joined the fighting in Syria, Iraq and most lately, Libya.

While nothing good can possibly come out of this shifting mire of stupidity, many things could go very wrong. Some already have. Some probable outcomes to consider:

  • At best huge amounts of dollars are wasted and a few Americans are killed;
  • Huge numbers of Syrians and others are killed, maimed, and displaced;
  • Displaced refugees flood into the West;
  • The refugees are mad as hell with us (and with pretty good reason);
  • More terrorism (here not there);
  • The possibility of ISIS or some other radical group actually acquiring a nation;
  • The spread of the above to surrounding areas;
  • Full blown U.S. war with casualties, expenses, and no win possible (see Iraq and Afghanistan, etc.);
  • War with Russia (worse than no-win);
  • A government corrupt enough to move on and do it again somewhere else and a population ignorant enough to let them.

We were warned against such foolishness. In addition to the warnings we have actively seen these things play out live. Some of these examples are recent. Very little of all this activity is hidden.

Will The U.S. Trade Folly For Madness?

Playing with fire is dangerous. Imagine a wildfire is burning nearly out of control. Half of the assigned firefighters try to extinguish it while the other half feed it. The given explanation is that while the fire may be dangerous, putting it out for good would be folly. In fact, say the fire experts, the firemen should seek to control and direct the fire to benefit adjacent homeowners. Does that make any sense? No.

The above scenario is fictional but it mirrors American foreign policy in the Middle East and elsewhere.

Paradoxical rumors have circulated over the past few years that Israel is partially behind ISIS, if not giving material support, then at least well-wishing. How could that be? Why would a Jewish nation support a violent and radical Islamic organization on its own back doorsteps? The strange answer and some validity to rumor partly appeared on August 2, 2016.

The Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, a right-leaning think tank in Israel, released a report calling for the maintenance (not the destruction) of ISIS.

Why? The so-called Islamic State “can be a useful tool in undermining” Iran, Hezbollah, Syria and Russia, argues the think tank’s director.

“The continuing existence of IS serves a strategic purpose,” wrote Efraim Inbar in “The Destruction of Islamic State Is a Strategic Mistake,” a paper published on Aug. 2.

By cooperating with Russia to fight the genocidal extremist group, the United States is committing a “strategic folly” that will “enhance the power of the Moscow-Tehran-Damascus axis,” Inbar argued, implying that Russia, Iran and Syria are forming a strategic alliance to dominate the Middle East.

“The West should seek the further weakening of Islamic State, but not its destruction,” he added. “A weak IS is, counterintuitively, preferable to a destroyed IS.”

Our frenemies in black. NBC.

The Israelis say getting rid of ISIS altogether would be folly. Come again!? The existence of ISIS, as it affects the West, isn’t counterintuitive, it’s plain stupid and suicidal. It would be one thing and different if ISIS were confined to Syria and Iraq. They are not. They regularly operate now, with devastating effect, in: Paris, Brussels, Nice, Munich, London, New York, Florida, Mississippi, California, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia, and Minnesota.

Still, stupid is as stupid does. The U.S. has been simultaneously feeding ISIS while trying to steer it and at times quell it. Washington bows to special interests who chase power and profits while sacrificing American lives on the home front. In the bargain the government regularly gets to increase surveillance, “security” controls, and to call for gun control and other liberty restrictions. Abroad the government gets to demonize otherwise benign countries like Russia and Iran. One stupid course of action feeds another and so perpetuates the cycle.

These webs are truly mysterious, baffling. A young woman in Mississippi who does the same thing, pledging support to ISIS, is sentenced to 15 years in federal prison. And yes, the court found her mentally ill. We put mentally ill people in jail in America. This suggests our domestic policy is as insane as the foreign.

The American government is run by criminals and idiots. They are more than happy to trade real freedom for false security, peace for war, and folly for madness. If someone produced an accurate Bushite decks of ISIS cards (remember those from with al-CIA-da?), the aces would be people from D.C. These cards are already in play. Stop supporting these maniacs.

ISIS Now Using Child Bombers

This weekend a wedding party in Turkey was destroyed by a child bomber. Fifty people are dead courtesy of ISIS. I hesitate to call the young carrier a suicide bomber because I do not know how or if he was convinced to participate. Also the bomb was remotely detonated.

Ambulances-arrive-at-site-of-an-explosio

Mirror, UK.

This is not a new tactic but it hasn’t been seen (or seen often) outside the central, Middle Eastern conflicts. Once ISIS stumbles upon an effective weapon, they tend to use it again and again.

I warned about this earlier this summer. On July 18, 2016 I wrote Things They Might Want To Ban (For Safety).  I was half serious, half mocking then. I noted that bombs should be banned, even though they already are. Then I wrote: “[Ban] Children (banning our move pitiful victims means there won’t be any to pity!)”.  Then I was concerned with children being shot, stabbed, or run over. I didn’t consider the attack angle.

The West uses children in war too, frequently as targets though sometimes for propaganda. This poor little fellow has made the rounds lately:

nintchdbpict000260323304-e1471525911770

The fruits of war. The Sun.

Many are appalled by the picture of suffering. Still, others (in power) will use it to justify more war and, thus, more victims.

I suppose some in the camps of official evil will see this latest attack, like all, as an excuse to try to ban our guns. They will not consider banning idiotic warfare, incessant meddling, nor unchecked immigration. They too reuse their tactics repeatedly.

Idiotic Foreign Policy (If Any)

In Washington, whatever the policies may be, common sense and intelligence certainly are foreign. Foreign as in alien, absent, and completely unknown. The crowd clustered around The Hill is so stupid that they could only be modern Americans. True, the owners – the banks and corporations and special interests, sometimes behind the scenes – they have smarts. But they are marred by an evil as deep as D.C.’s vapidity.

The only real policy in the District is stealing and wasting money through a never-ending game of domination (of everything and everyone). The foreign part? Let’s just call in “international affairs” to differentiate it from the domestic thievery and oppression. Internationally, let’s start with “policy” towards Iran.

Washington has had it out for Iran since the 1950s. The reason originally given to the American people for this animosity has long since been forgotten. The real reason I already covered, the power and the money thing. Still, today, Iran is bad. Iran is our enemy. We would go to war with Iran except we’ve lately discovered we’re not all that good at the sport anymore (see Iraq, etc.). Iran is bad.

There’s ISIS. ISIS is bad (sometimes). It would seem to the sensible that a terrorist organization that destroys nightclubs, beheads priests, and runs people down with delivery trucks would be bad full-time. The problem is that Washington created ISIS, intentionally as a CIA toy or accidentally in a drunken stupor. They made them, trained, them, armed them, funded them and then kicked them in the head to get the jihadis really angry. They’ve alternated between these things off and on for a good, long time now. Meanwhile, Washington and its inbreed allies in Europe have willfully imported the terrorists into the West. Insane! The cycle of lunacy goes on apace but, officially, the liars of Columbia will say ISIS is our enemy. ISIS is bad.

Then there’s Russia. Russia is descended from another big, criminally talented, power and money nation, the U.S.S.R. I recall as a child hearing we had a of problems with them and had had such for a while. Then, suddenly – “POOF!” – they were gone. All was quiet for a while and then along came the modern, civilized nation of Russia. Political BS aside, if nations were individual people, America and Russia would look like twins. The sensible (where’d he go??) might think our two countries would be cooperating at everything, being the best of friends. No.

Washington has again decreed that Russia is an evil empire. Russia hates us. Russia is our enemy. Some of the very lowest and dumbest dregs around D.C. actually want a war with Russia. We could not win that one. Neither could Russia. Not an all-out war. We’d all be dead. The Americans and Soviets of old knew this. Thus the grudging but relatively peaceful cold war. Putin and company still appear to have some sense. Washington has lost it all. Russia is bad.

So: Iran bad; ISIS bad; Russia bad. Today, wouldn’t you know it, news comes that Russia is bombing the living hell out of ISIS in Syria. They’re flying heavy bombers out of … wait for it … Iran.

One might call this irony but, really, words cannot describe it. The closet we can get is, “Washington is our enemy” or “Washington is bad”.

Immigration: A Slap in the Face for the West (machete, actually)

Another ordinary day in the new Europe and another islamic terror attack. This mohammedan approached two female police officers outside police headquarters in Charleroi, Belgium. One woman suffered deep cuts to her face and the other received superficial wounds. A third female officer shot the POS dead. You. Go. Girl. Women and guns may be our answer to the Caliphate.

A crazed man hacked at a policewoman’s face with a machete and shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ before turning on another officer just seconds before a third cop shot him dead in a suspected terror attack.

The machete-wielding terror suspect launched his terrifying attack in Charleroi this afternoon after walking up to the Belgian city’s main police station just before 4pm.

He wandered up the policewomen at a checkpoint at the entrance of to station and immediately pulled out the huge blade.

Screaming “Allahu Akbar” (God is Greatest), the twisted attacker then flung the machete into the face of one of the female officers with huge force.

He wasn’t crazed. He was just a savage invader. The crazy ones are the politicians who import this trash and their supporters who approve and tolerate it. The police need to seriously consider shooting down those groups too.

Charleroi

After the attack, a policeman contemplates the blessings of multicultural society. Mirror, UK.

Otherwise the national bird of Belgium (and France and Germany, etc.) will become the “crazed” jihadist. The national motto will be “Allah Akbar”.

It’s way past time to wake up.

Sharia: Satan’s Code Annotated

Khizr Khan offended just as many (if not more) Democrats as Republicans when he waved around a copy of the Constitution and uttered the “L” word – Liberty. The real shame is that the Greco-Roman-English law of the Constitution isn’t Khan’s preferred authority. It seems for years Khan defended and promoted Sharia law (in America). That would be the Islamic code which sanctions brutality against women, oppression and murder of gays, murder of infidels, jihad, bribes, and other savagery. Way to play to the base, DNC. Remember, Khan and his kind want this law, not where it originated and belongs, but in the West.

He isn’t now quite as fond of his law as he was of our Constitution last week. He deleted the website for his law firm which was dedicated to helping backwards heathens immigrate to and destroy America. Maybe with his site closed, he will remove himself back to Pakistan. Maybe the progressive left will follow him.

Non-Western immigration has all sorts of wonderful benefits for the dull, vanilla citizens of our nations. An America woman visiting London was blessed with the marvels of cultural enrichment; she was stabbed to death. Her attacker was merely carrying out the mandates of sharia and furthering the agenda of ISIS. Several others were injured. Once they recover I’m sure they will call for more immigration into England and the EU. In a way, it’s a shame the American woman had to travel so far to experience this delightful display of love and tolerance – we in the U.S. are so behind the times. Too many guns to be sure.

Confused witnesses initially blamed the murder on a chubby white man. Someone said they saw him with a knife. Personally, I would like to think perhaps a bystander took up arms in defense and was so identified (wrongly). Of course, an armed white man smacks of the patriarchy. No-one wants that. Luckily, the perpetrator was formally identified as a Somali man. His years of living in Norway and England did little to take the diversity out of him. Praise Allah.

You don’t see too many chubby white men in Somali. You do, however, see a lot of Somalis in America. So far they haven’t lived down to their potential. They’ve collected a lot of welfare, driven drunk, burned down some buildings (mostly by accident through not understanding how gas and electricity work), committed a few rapes, terrorized a Wal-Mart manager, and beat up a wimpy Trump supporter. When will they let loose with some real terror?

London and the rest of England join France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia in anxious expectation of the next diversity session. They won’t have long to wait.

Meanwhile, people in the UK can enjoy some of the side benefits of multicultural Caliphate-ization. They get to see really cool-looking SWAT teams roaming their streets. Eight-year old boys will be thrilled.

I am in the small camp of strange-minded people who don’t like my streets looking like war zones. I am none too fond of terrorists and invaders nor of the politicians and Satanic elites who drive them into our societies. You?

Some, but not nearly enough, people are getting fed up with this insanity. The time is coming. For now we can at least call it what it is. Just before he was murdered by savages Father Jacques Hamel called them what they are and instructed them accordingly: “Be gone, Satan!”

Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé!
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L’étendard sanglant est levé, (bis)
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes!

Aux armes, citoyens,
Formez vos bataillons,
Marchons, marchons!
Qu’un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons!

…

Arise, children of the Fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us tyranny’s
Bloody banner is raised, (repeat)
Do you hear, in the countryside,
The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
They’re coming right into your arms
To cut the throats of your sons, your women!

To arms, citizens,
Form your battalions,
Let’s march, let’s march!
Let an impure blood
Soak our fields!

…

La Marseillaise (French National Anthem).

Alone: A man sits in silence and clasps his hands while sitting at the head of a body killed in France's third major terrorist attack in 18 months

Daily Mail, UK.

Last night in Nice, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, a Mohammedan lowlife from Tunisia and a ferocious soldier of Islam, drove a 25-ton truck down a sidewalk for about a mile. I read that distance last night and thought it must have been a misprint or exaggeration; it was accurate. This ferocious soldier cut the throats of 84 men, women, and children (at least 10 children) and injured scores of others.

This Daily Mail story has rather extensive coverage of the attack, including videos of the truck and of the police killing Mohamed. So far, THIS YEAR, Islamic terrorists have killed more than 11,600 people and injured more than 14,000 with similar attacks across 50 countries. Here’s a list. That’s just 2016! There are a few attacks that didn’t make the list. Most of the attacks happened in traditional Muslim countries. Why anyone would want to import this insanity into the West suggests only homicidal, evil intent.

I watched French President Francois Hollande gibber away like a zombie about “taking caution”. I could only tolerate about 5 minutes. We don’t need anymore caution. We need action. Now!

Hillary Clinton, still giddy over escaping felony charges, says delusionally, “Let’s be clear: Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.” Sure, just like she is a worthy classified records trustee.

Donald Trump, with another statement insuring his election, says he will seek a Congressional Declaration of War against ISIS. He won’t get it and it probably wouldn’t work anyway. He likely means he wants to drop more bombs in Syria and Iraq. A real war against terrorism needs to be fought in the West, against the invaders here and against the traitors who brought them in. Congress isn’t going to vote for a war in which many of its members and many of their friends would be considered the enemy.

France’s director of security, Patrick Calvar, a bit more pragmatic that most of his colleagues, admits his country is “on the brink of civil war.” War is already upon us. Another lop-sided battle was fought last night in Nice. The French (and the West) need to heed their own National Anthem. To arms, citizens. It’s time to soak the fields.

Bastille Day Truck Attack

Another baneful cry of ““Allahu Akbar”. Another attack. Another batch of Europeans wiped out. How much is enough?

The body believed to be of a young child. A metaphor – so goes the future of Europe. The Sun.

Seventy-seven people are known dead and perhaps hundreds more are injured after Mohammedan terrorists drove a large truck through a crowd at a street festival.

Read:

HERE;

HERE; and

HERE.

It is alleged two men, armed with firearms and grenades, plowed through people for 100 meters or more. They may have possibly fired into the remaining crowd and/or at police. At least one of them was gunned down; one may be on the run. The victims were celebrating Bastille Day, today, the “Fourth of July” for the French. Now the French are (again) mourning. ISIS is celebrating. People are “shocked”. Some are in denial. The political rats really don’t give a damn.

This incident proves so much. Gun control doesn’t work – with guns or with grenades. Truck bombs don’t even require bombs now. The Guardian reports this scheme has been long proposed by terror groups; it worked smashingly. Mass immigration from the third world does not work. Angry primitives do not belong in a civilized country. So much.

This shit (I do not ask your pardon) has to stop. It’s easier to comment on these attacks, this war when the battlefield is in France or another European country, but the effects are felt throughout the West. As I see it there are but two courses to follow.

France and the West can round up all non-native Europeans, all non-Christians, and deport them once and for all. That’s not enough though. Some won’t willingly go now. They will fight. Those ardent (yet relative) few must be eliminated with extreme prejudice. And, that’s not enough. Once the savages are removed the real work has to start. Those treasonous, murderous politicians, judges, interlopers, and agitators who worked for so long to import this problem must be killed and killed in a way that sends a message. They should be slain with torture – a very slow boat to hell.

The other way this will end up is for all Europeans to die, for the Caliphate to take hold of the continent permanently. And, right now, that is the way we are going.

Judging from history it really has to be one or the other. There is no middle road. The experiment is a failure. The war has begun. It’s time to fight.

I’ve long delayed a more in-depth piece on this subject, one that draws from past European experience with the same savages and provides much-needed inspiration. Expect it soon. I’m also working on an anti-terrorism guide for average people living in these heinous times, people like the Niçois.

This evening I am almost too angry to type. Damn it! This screams out for vengeance. We need a modern-day Charles Martel and we need him now!

Historically, I experience a summer slow-down in blog views. It’s that time of year again. I’m also tired of late and working on other things. Yesterday, I took a great little mini vacation. I had a great time.

This morning, recovering, I looked at the news; it seems like the whole world is coming unglued. It isn’t, any more than usual, but it looks very bad. I don’t know if my following list provides perspective or not, but here it is.

Neither of these men needed to be or deserved to be gunned down.

There is no war on the police, per se, though there easily could be.

“Blowback” is a real thing.

There are 14 other occupations in America more lethally dangerous than being a police officer. Some are many times more dangerous. Logging is a dangerous job.

The cops are not out to murder blacks, per se, though it certainly seems like it.

The cops kill more whites every year than blacks. It’s the percentages and perceptions that drive BLM. You really can’t blame them, though…

Statistically speaking in terms of homicides, black people represent the largest danger to other black people.

A glance and a search around the internet will reveal more than a few whites being beaten, tazed, harassed, and killed by the cops – for nothing.

Still, white people are most dangerous to other white people.

There are criminals out there but most “crime” in America shouldn’t honestly be classified as such.

There are many bad apples in the barrel but many police officers are just plain people doing a job the best they can.

Too many people, of all colors, professions, etc., are killed all the time for essentially nothing. This should really end.

A murderer is a murderer, even if he wears a special costume and a badge.

It’s wrong to murder anyone, even if they’re wearing a badge.

America is a safer place now than it has been in decades. One wouldn’t think that given all the news of murders, hatred, and terrorism. It’s the speed of the reporting and all the camera phone.

The instant and constant reporting is new to human history.Maybe it’s a good thing, maybe it will help stamp out the last vestiges of violence and stupidity.

Different peoples are different. That’s why they’re different peoples.

Most people, despite being different, are really almost all the same on a day-to-day and individual to individual level. Most get along pretty well together.

Most individuals are, all in all, fairly decent.

Groups of people start having problems.

Many (maybe even a majority of) Americans, regardless of age, sex, race, income, geographical location, etc., have a really hard time properly operating a motor vehicle.

Those groups of individuals who, as groups, start to have problems, resort to government as a solution to their problems.

Government never has any solutions.

Government, once it takes hold, gains a life of its own, a life of dominance and control.

If the government can’t find a problem to not solve, it will create one. Or a hundred.

Certain little elite numbers of people and institutions traditionally seize on government power to further their own interests.

These elites are highly effective in plotting different people (or even similar people) against each other. This creates an atmosphere of fear and chaos which greatly assists the perception that more law may be the answer. It’s a self-sustaining machine, very expensive and very dangerous.

Many turn a blind eye to all of the above (unless it directly affects them) not because they are stupid, but because they would rather concentrate on the more pleasant, even trivial aspects of life. Understandable. Some are just stupid. Others are lazy. Again, the cameras and phones may help clarify or cure some of this.

“On the street” blacks and whites tend to look and behave mostly the same to me.

Many blacks and whites “on the street” irritate the hell out of me (if I let them).

I have a lot of friends, white and black. I’m rather fond of them.

There are other colors than black and white. The same rules generally apply to them as well.

For my own trivial pursuits, I like football. It’s getting really difficult to watch the average game; I keep waiting and waiting (usually until the end of the fourth quarter) for the football to break out of the otherwise ridiculous circus side-show.

A small group of bankers long ago discovered how to completely control government. Government long ago discovered how to completely control the people. Both groups have done a remarkably good job for themselves. Kudos to them (and damn them). All of this is mostly done in the open. Oddly, the people still haven’t figured it out. Shame on them (and hopes they will yet wake up).

Mencken wrote about imaginary hobgoblins. They still don’t exist for the most part. Some, however, have actually come to life. ISIS comes to mind.

Banning guns won’t help blacks, most cops, or anyone else. These things are just tools. It makes as little sense as banning chain saws to “help” loggers.

Gun bans don’t work. Neither to wars. That is unless by “work” one means “help the government become even stronger and more dangerous”. Then, they work great.

People like James Pearce and Gersh Kuntzman denounce and blame ordinary persons for committing imaginary crimes and for being “nuts” in the criminally, nutty manner possible. This isn’t a case of the pot calling the kettle black. This is a case of psychopathic lunatics trying to project their own illnesses onto the general population. What happened to the asylums?

This rant went on a little longer than I intended. I’ll stop it now.
