US democracy is not what it is cracked up to be. Democrats are fake liberals. Republicans are fake conservatives. Both parties are dominated by insiders looking out, primarily, for themselves.
Unfortunately, this is the way of us humans. Countries that grow into Empires consistently follow the same path. Those finding their way to the Halls of Power become almost totally focused on growing their wealth and maintaining their privileged status. Just look at the Biden Family or the Trump Clan. They continue to spend, spend, spend because cut, cut, cut isn't any fun and - at their age - they are hoping the Empire stays together until they reach their mortality. Whether we "agree" or not, or "disagree" or not, doesn't matter and won't change what lies ahead. The curtain on America's Hegemony is rapidly coming down. What you can do is prepare and then enjoy watching the sunsets with your community, family, and friends.
A close fried whom I consider to punch in a significantly higher weight class than myself (intellectually) has never owned property always invested in stocks. Worked fifteen years for Big Pharma and NEVER bought one stock of any pharmaceutical company. And at the same time didn´t shy away from arms manufacturers......
Will the common prole ever take the time to discover how they have been enslaved? Or will they just continue to lemming along? I'll bet you most of them will vote though.
That´s a surprise. The first article since at a week without Trump-Bashing at it´s worst.
Wonder, what`s the personal insult the author has suffered.
What is the most irritating fact about this?
To my perception it´s the fact that Trump is at least the only candidate since ages who is not a Puppet of the CFR.
Trump is at least not entangled in the inextricable web of DC cronyism and his high deficits do not stem the least from the ludicrous web of lies that Fauci, Collins, the CDC, the socalled "Science "TM and all the profiting Media Shills et.al had lured him into.
No doubts there´s a lot to find and say about his shortcomings. But why only stressing those. Such a huge bias from an Author so seasoned, well travelled, analytically brilliant (all my personal impression, no judgement)???
Regarding the vaunted F-35: The ChiComms had the plans to each and every part/system/component virtually before the ink was dry. They spent a TON of money to assure that they were first in the espionage line, and they have had huge success - with no Reverse Engineering required. That's where our "Patriotic" military "Planners" and DoD have gotten us.
As a bonus - beside producing it for a fraction of the "cost", they made some tweaks so that their version actually works. Y'know, it actually flies, shoots and evades - whereas our version... well...
With regard to Bill's point about "delete A," shouldn't we, at the very least, be looking to "delete C?" Nothing good has come from recognition of China, to say nothing of MFN status being handed to them. While I'm all for kumbaya between countries, and pardon my simplicity, our first obligation is to ourselves. And while we're on the topic, there are several hundred thousand Chinese students in our colleges and universities, some involved in DARPA research. Deport them all, as we can't be certain who is spying and who is not. I know I sound like Sen. Joe McCarthy, but as history is being written, he wasn't really all that wrong, as socialist dogma has overrun our education system, society, and government. Need proof? Watch Yuri Bezmenov's interview with G. Edward Griffin (author of "The Creature From Jeckyll Island" about the founding of the Federal Reserve).
Get used to it. This is mainly what we get from Bill - over and over and over. Never have I read someone who can say the same thing in so many, many, many ways.
However, thanks for teaching me new word, so my time here today was actually well spent...
F35's (Lightening II's) issues sounds similar to Tesla's...over-engineered to do much to much, not enough parts to fix, abundant technical glitches...but when it finally reaches the air it's amazing.
there are “watchers” in life & there are “doers”those of us that are doers derive no pleasure from watching other than to watch & then prepare for ACTION!
enjoy your sunsets but don’t complain when the real world interrupts your passive expectations!
Earlier this week, there was this BPR comment, …“Step back, watch it unfold and stay out of the fray. If you jump in you will drown in the swamp, guaranteed.”…
💯= “…don’t complain when the real world interrupts your passive expectations!”…
I know from real world experience (when a Saudi broke into my office/residence in the middle of the night & I woke up suddenly to find a man with a knife in his hand and his foot on the end of my bed when I was sleeping with my wife and my 4 mth old daughter was asleep in her crib 3 ft away.....that I WITHOUT ANY HESITATION,
yelled, jumped out of bed and RUSHED the man! This was the correct action because he had unlocked the door to the street (so he could run out faster than I could catch him) which worked for me & my family!
What would you have done? Watched? & Negotiated?
But then again, I'm sure you are not an Alpha Male!
Your're passive, a watcher.
You have 3 choices in situations like this...you flee, freeze or fight.
Meh. I would've ventilated him, heavily, from where I lay. As many (most?) in this audience would have done.
But you sound like a man of at least a little action, so welcome aboard, sir...
PS - I personally know Mr. Fishin' rather well. He's not exactly as you classify him. Actually, he's not at all as you classify him, but continue the sh*t posting at your leisure. I'm sure it let's you feel better about yourself...
THANKS..I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT O.O.D.A. LOOPER's way means?
PS I've with BBonner for more than 10 yrs now....
BTW...I was living & working in Saudi and I didn't have any device to "ventilate" him. But then again, it's always easier to say what you would do after the event occurs.
The point of my story was not to make myself feel better but to maybe wake up those of us that are not deplorables to the real time consequences of WOKE & Boomer thought.
re Wikipedia.. I was being facetious when I said i don’t need to understand the internet.
Of course I know & have used W.
i wasn’t objecting so much to wtf does O.o.o Looper means as I was objecting to the commrnt of “Oh, just enjoy the dinsets eith your family & it’s OK to tune out everything else thst’s going on in the world.
That said, i do want to thank you for taking me literaly JayCee because i did learn what O.O.O. Looper means just now. somewhat interesting but skso somewhat obvious too.
i don’t think though that it really was a factor in my immediate, non rational but intuitive reponse to suddenly waking up in the middle of the night with someone holding a knife in his hand with one foot on the end of my bed!
But there is more to the story that influenced my almost immediate reaction.
the Saudi wss wearing a tupicsl gatb of a “dishdash” or long white robe BUT he was exposing himself which is why he had one foot up on the bed frame.
without really going through a
OOO Loop process I INTUITIVELY realized this guy was an exhibitionist, not a killer.
Hence my reaction to the threat.
IF i was wrong then myself & my wife & possibly my 4month old daughtet might have had very serious consequences!
Such a perfect description Bill. It is so difficult to comment on these ideas because it is virtually impossible to describe the stupidity of the current political "leaders."

Investing in the war machinery (& big Pharma) concept ... may be lucrative, but, simultaneously it also displays one's moral turpitude.
"For what does it gain a man to have all the riches of this worl , while losing his eternal soul" !!
Morals?
Isn't that a city in Mexico?
Just read this today it´s from Mark.
Yes totally agree. BUT

Nice to see the meds worked today. Great column, Bill.

SO true. I retired from the DoD and I saw this BS over and over again.

NO need to have our competitors, enemies, or anybody else hit the "Delete-A" key. We do it quite nicely by ourselves. Best always. PM
With regard to Bill's point about "delete A," shouldn't we, at the very least, be looking to "delete C?"

I am still searching for the extra benefit of these essays.
It is a pleasure to read and enjoy the elegance of the writing but the content is well known.
I do not know how other subscribers feel; I am more looking for all those topics that relate to the stated purpose of this operation.
These feuilletonistic issues I extract elsewhere.
Hi Petra -
Get used to it. This is mainly what we get from Bill - over and over and over. Never have I read someone who can say the same thing in so many, many, many ways.

Why compare “SHLD” with “ITA” rather than “XAR?”
there are “watchers” in life & there are “doers”those of us that are doers derive no pleasure from watching other than to watch & then prepare for ACTION!
enjoy your sunsets but don’t complain when the real world interrupts your passive expectations!
💯= “…prepare for ACTION!”
Aah yes. The O.O.D.A. Loop’ers way.
Earlier this week, there was this BPR comment, …“Step back, watch it unfold and stay out of the fray. If you jump in you will drown in the swamp, guaranteed.”…
💯= “…don’t complain when the real world interrupts your passive expectations!”…
I have no idea what O.O.D.A. Looper's way means.
Can you expound?
I know from real world experience (when a Saudi broke into my office/residence in the middle of the night & I woke up suddenly to find a man with a knife in his hand and his foot on the end of my bed when I was sleeping with my wife and my 4 mth old daughter was asleep in her crib 3 ft away.....that I WITHOUT ANY HESITATION,

It's almost always better to fight,

But unfortunately you didn't get it!
Might I suggest use of Wikipedia
Would help you with so much …
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OODA_loop?wprov=sfti1#See_also
Now wasn’t so hard was it?
Well done for creating such an unnecessary s…fight amongst decent folk.
Maybe I should hide behind
"PortSide" or "Gone Fishin" instead of using my real name.
Then I could say what I really want to say!
Maybe. Personally, using an online alias has precisely zero to do with me saying what I "really want to say"...

Ok, fair enough Starboard Edge.
Your real world experience puts
the name issue in context. oddly enough, I too also now live in a small town in rural America after
working & living in 7different countries. thanks for sharing your experience.
