Chiang Kai-shek tried desperately to get support from FDR against Mao and his murdering hoard of communist. FDR had many more socialist and communist as advisers then any president in history, up till now. FDR and his staff were the deciding factor for the growth of communism. Should have ended then, now we will pay the price as communism takes over the planet. The only thing that can save us, is our right to arm and defend ourselves. China, and it’s bought and paid for shills in our government and media are doing everything in their power to end this right. If successful, our constant depleted freedoms will end, along with America. Hope all enjoyed a safe, happy and healthy Thanksgiving, and never let them take what we all have to be grateful for…….America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Roosevelt may not have been a Communist, but was a socialist and clearly supported the Soviet foreign policy positions in case after case. One can blame Harry Hopkins, Alger Hiss, John Sergeant, and the numerous Soviet agents and Communist sympathizers in government. One can even blame Mrs. Roosevelt for purging and exiling conservative voices in the State Dept. But in the end, the buck stopped at the desk of FDR. He appointed the leaders of his Administration. He is responsible for agreements at Quebec, Tehran, and YALTA. He is (with Stalin and others) responsible for Communist rule in Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Albania, Yugoslavia, and East Germany. And though the question was asked later, “Who lost China?” it seems Roosevelt’s policies explain much of the change in Asia after WWII.
In 1950 Republicans asked the question, “Who lost China?” The answer of course was FDR.
In 2024 will Republicans be asking, “Who lost America?”
It is difficult navigating the terrain these days with eyes and ears seemingly on us at all times. One misstep and the PTB will take you down, and fast. I find myself wanting to shout out from the mountain tops about what I see going on, but wanting and doing are two different things. So, instead, I stick to preparing for the worst while still remembering that I live in the paradise of my choosing. I find empowerment, not by holding a protest sign or trying to change other folks' minds, but by tending the gardens, chickens and cows, and generally being self-sufficient. A good hike or backcountry ski day keeps me grounded and is a time for thought and introspection. A good day at the range helps hone what might become less of a sport and more of an essential survival skill.
The elite are out of control trying to control every thought and deed. I've never been much of a conformer and don't expect that to change, so this march towards "the dark cluster", as Bill puts it, is most difficult. Don't forget prayer and what is truly important in your life as they will keep you sane and motivated. Never give up!
Agree Starleg, and, as to where do we go from here? That will depend; preparedness will be useful, but no guarantee, and luck - both good and bad - will also play a part, along with age and stage. But the older I get the more I'm inclined to believing that the Gods smile when men make plans - so try to enjoy the ride, because it's more than likely, mostly out of our hands
“The only thing that can save us, is our right to arm and defend ourselves.”
You know, all die. The most important question is: Is there a God? Eric Metaxas’s book “Is Atheism Dead”, makes an outstanding point.
Ultimately, belief resides in the individual and we need our own proof; without it we are those we rail against.
The ultimate hope is God, residing in individuals, with courage that values truth over transient things.
Without the source of truth, God, the world will continue along its present course until it is destroyed by our creations, the destructive capacity we so rely on.
Agree Xavier, God is all, but America has been losing its faith for decades now, and we are fewer and fewer each year. Yes, we all die, but how we meet death can be determined by the choices we make in our individual journey, which also dictates our belief. I believe that evil can only exist when good men allow it. I’m ready to choose my destiny, as many millions of good folk are. Or we can sit back and wait for evil to choose for us. Which do you choose?
I have come to understand that Christ forgives sin, he told the woman, “Go and sin no more.” That Christ gives hope, life, living water. We should all experience, here and now, the Kingdom of God within, have a part of the peace that is beyond the world’s understanding.
I believe the Christian message, over the years, has been adulterated.
Christ did not die so that we should continue with our dissipated ideas; we are to become the new man in Christ, a process of growth in truth.
Christ died because he preached truth. He was killed by the state and false religion.
He had the power of the universe at his disposal and allowed himself to be tortured to death, a great example of commitment, courage and non violence.
I think the way forward is “Experiments in Truth,” Gandhi’s way.
Any other way is against Christ, stupid and ineffectual, just a perpetuation of man’s way that is destroying the world.
Each has to make the choice, “Whom will you follow, God or man, love the one hate the other.”
“My ways are not your ways.”
I am a firm believer in justice, final sublime justice. 30% of what Christ taught was about that justice, a loving warning.
I'm sorry to comment on such a minor point, but in the interest of accuracy, it's helpful to note that Nero committed suicide in AD 68, almost a century and a half before the emperors who Bill mentions. In any case, I'm grateful that Bill uses the traditional "AD" marker rather than "CE."
so true, the most important thing I think we can do is manage the risk as best we can, through asset allocation, sensible stops, and being very wary and sceptical of politicians and their so called care for us.

Yes bro, so much more and the deeper you go into the wormhole, the deeper the shit gets…corruption on an unprecedented scale….

I think that is the very best thing you have ever written in 20 yrs bill, it is right on the nail- where do we go from here??

Nicely put! A lot of our readers spews hate and vengeance against the other party. What they are missing is they are also the other party.

Thank you, Carl P. I was going to add this to my list of predictions...that Mr. Bonner would discover the historical truth about Nero.
Gold coins and mysterious Roman emperors are in the news recently, so your prediction is not without merit!
Joel,
Please sign me up for the 2022 BPR summit.
Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving!
All I can say is that its all bloody disturbing.
It's really sad how China has changed its course over the last decade!
When I went there for a couple of months in 2012, I remember the spirit and vibe there were totally different from what's going on right now.
so true, the most important thing I think we can do is manage the risk as best we can, through asset allocation, sensible stops, and being very wary and sceptical of politicians and their so called care for us.
A former co-worker’s Chinese mother hated Chiang for the hyperinflation.
