However, it did have an instruction manual that was supposedly written by a "former CIA analyst.”<br /><br />Getting down to the details of my comment whoever wrote the book did write something that has stayed with me. The book said a country can have all the resources, able work force, and money it can handle but if it doesn't have a sense of national identity where most everyone will sacrifice something for the greater good then it had nothing.<br /><br />America is that way now, now I agree once the current batch of corrupt white guys and most of the spoiled baby boomers die off things may change but I don't believe we have that long. Because while there are exceptions most everyone in this country is really just looking out for themselves.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397167328061019765.post-23506635451739419942010-04-12T12:42:35.190-04:002010-04-12T12:42:35.190-04:00Suzan,

The USSr was brought down by a debt it could not sustain caused by an enormously unpopular war, a vast number of citizens who simply did not participate in day-to-day society, and a Government completely disconnected from the citizenry in just about every aspect.</i><br /><br />I also agree with your take on the now-threatened white-men-in-charge-of-things needing new lackeys to do their bidding, thus the thousands of immigrants having been allowed illegally into the South to do the dirty jobs that "no Americans would do" (or wouldn't report as illegal activities) as they Rushscum trash-talked constantly about them. But don't worry, as the jobs disappeared, the enforcement of the laws has been stepped up and they are rapidly disappearing now. The new lackeys will prolly be from those (U.S.-supplied) bombed-befuddled brown people being brought in in large numbers now from Asian hotspots who will work for even less! <br /><br />Those scumpubs! You can't underestimate them, can you?<br /><br /><i>the rich white men running things are in rapid demographic decline is going to make any difference, and I assure you-it will. They have to have lackeys willing to enforce their edicts, and the numbers just aren't there. </i><br /><br />And as far as a new leader of whatever they promote to "save" us from the socialist/communist/fascist threat?<br /><br />My candidate is the well-prepared and ready for prime time:<br /><br />GLENN BECK!!!<br /><br />I mean, think about it. Hasn't this been the Murdochian premise all along?<br /><br />Idiots in charge of the media should rule!<br /><br />And you gotta remember the funding of Hitler and the Nazis in the first place, don't you? After all, who chose Hitler - a little known fool of a politician before he "took off" (a better figure than the Russian Revolution terror-grown Stalin I think for our times)? <br /><br /><i>-there is an equal danger that a Stalin may rise somewhere.

It will not. Then, the quality of your life is going to depend a whole lot on where you happen to be living when the house of cards comes down.<br /><br />The author cites Yugoslavia, which is partially true, but a much better parallel example is the late-era USSR. The USSr was brought down by a debt it could not sustain caused by an enormously unpopular war, a vast number of citizens who simply did not participate in day-to-day society, and a Government completely disconnected from the citizenry in just about every aspect.<br /><br />The Rushpubliscums, surprisingly, know what's coming, and they've been positioning themselves to take over in Dixie and the mountain west for about the last decade. The border fences being erected will mean almost nothing; the borders that will have to be heavily protected are the Mason-Dixon line, and parts out west. Once they set up their third-world hellhole, people are going to try to rush north and east in numbers that will be unsustainable for those of us living on the other side of those borders.<br /><br />The author doesn't seem to think that the fact that the rich white men running things are in rapid demographic decline is going to make any difference, and I assure you-it will. They have to have lackeys willing to enforce their edicts, and the numbers just aren't there. Ask the former Soviet leaders how that works, as they can tell you how quickly police and militia members in the constituent republics walked away from their posts when the collapse started.<br /><br />Fascism is certainly a danger in the south and west, but I have to tell you-there is an equal danger that a Stalin may rise somewhere. He may already be out there, waiting for his turn. Here's hoping that our dissolution is more Soviet than Yugoslav.Jolly Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15386411633471396349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397167328061019765.post-34784294091051947812010-04-11T23:17:02.107-04:002010-04-11T23:17:02.107-04:00What Freeman meant, TC, (and, of course, I extrapo...What Freeman meant, TC, (and, of course, I extrapolate) is that no one says it on the "serious" MSM (as if we have any).<br /><br />Many people on the right and "center" (wherever that would be) of the political spectrum think Keith O and Rachel M are just "stick" figures (only nominally real reporters) that are "allowed" to represent "leftists/socialists/Dems" on a tiny part of the news spectrum to shut them up about not being heard in the MSM.<br /><br />Your point is well taken.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.<br /><br />SCirzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070125217972397204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3397167328061019765.post-12596491423079633172010-04-11T16:38:07.415-04:002010-04-11T16:38:07.415-04:00Much of what you say resonates with me, especially...Much of what you say resonates with me, especially since I watched Judgement and thought the same things at the same time.
