Possible explanation for the Syrian airstrike: 4-d Chess Move<br />
<br />
-Trump takes pride in his campaign promises...<br />
Meeting those goals are more important to him than any President we have ever known; his Ego and machismo is what got him elected. Invading other countries is against his narrative; hence why it pissed so many of his supporters off.<br />
<br />
-I’ll argue, no talking point on his platform was bigger than defeating terrorism...<br />
He called out ISIS. He Called them Radical Islamic Terrorists. He vowed to defeat them anywhere it took. Would he sacrifice a bishop (bad optics to his base of intervening) to set up his Queen (defeating ISIS)? You bet.<br />
<br />
-The US was already in Iraq and Syria laying groundwork for…<br />
We have never left Iraq. Syria we have entered onto the scene recently; backing Arab and Kurdish forces in Northern Syria as the coalition pushes into Raqqa city, the self-described capital of ISIS held since 2013. Russia remains in this region as well. With similar objectives. Assad was not receptive of the US deploying 500 or so boots in that region but that was the extent of it. What could he say?<br />
<br />
-The battle for Raqqa has been coming but it's been slow moving...<br />
Nobody wants to put serious numbers on the ground in fear of the optics. So Russia has been pushing and prodding a ragtag bunch of local fighters with the help of a depleted and weary Syrian Army.<br />
<br />
-Now we have the air strike with gas a few days ago…<br />
We started prepping for the strike 48 hours before it went down. Unlike say Iraq in 2003, the international community wanted this. Thus there was nothing to lose from that perspective. Syria would not be able to stop it. Russia doesn't have a strong navy presence there or much of one at home. Navy’s win wars. They notified Russia before the attack. Win-win.<br />
<br />
-The meat of the move…<br />
The US puts Russia and Syria on notice in front of the world. Basically cucking them as Russia sends a single destroyer to the Mediterranean in what really looks sad because if they meant business they would have sent a real presence but they don't really have a naval presence as said earlier so its the only card they have. Outside of Syria, Russia has no other presence in the ME nor does Iran. The US has a couple hundred base's throughout that region in various locations so there couldn't be any response if they wanted one. So, the real mission is exposed, as the US continues to push its way into northern-held Syria via special forces as the battle for Raqqa city will come and will be taken by a coalition of US LED forces. Russia ran 95% of the race but the US will take the baton in Syria and be the ones breaking the tape.<br />
<br />
-Endgame...<br />
Iraq. Russia doesn't have any presence in Iraq. We do. The US after a glorious defeat of ISIS in Raqqa will force ISIS into their Alamo: Mosul, ISIS’ last stronghold in Iraq. After we put more boots on the ground there via special forces, Mosul, like Raqqa, will be taken by a coalition of US LED forces. not Russia. Not with the help of Russia as Putin floated out there previously. It would be a victory lap for MAGA. Trump will have defeated ISIS and also destroyed the notion he was handled by Russians; killing two birds with one stone. Another check for the list. Not to mention his biggest check of them all. That is the essence of a 4d chess move by MAGA.<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1gR4a1xqeH2yoAESdeLytrBZmUl7d8XEfZFaRk8d2986E0heELvzOUSOdxbNKPLHTQyslr24qGwNcVseYSXtxWL9DW0s6bS2y1nmpFIT-RzNZCbay4_e2vAMJHQwUBm9-PaL40-lDO7P-/s1600/Cover111.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="568" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1gR4a1xqeH2yoAESdeLytrBZmUl7d8XEfZFaRk8d2986E0heELvzOUSOdxbNKPLHTQyslr24qGwNcVseYSXtxWL9DW0s6bS2y1nmpFIT-RzNZCbay4_e2vAMJHQwUBm9-PaL40-lDO7P-/s640/Cover111.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Fake news, fake news, fake news. We hear it so much we have become desensitized to it. The phenomenon of fake news really started around the same time WikiLeaks released the DNC hacked emails. It was this time the story of #Pizzagate broke. Fake news was a response to Pizzagate. And while it did raise fundamental questions about those emails, some of the news being circulated wasn't news at all, it was unfounded accusations presented as news.<br />
<br />
One example was the Comet Pizza Parlor, owned by DC socialite, James Alefantis. It was alleged Mr. Alefantis ran a sex trafficking ring inside the pizza parlor, however, there was no evidence and in America that is slander. This caused Mr. Alefantis harm and in the end, threatened Alex Jones with a potential lawsuit. Jones had to apologize on air for his part in the coverage of Comet Pizza and Mr. Alefantis. The fallout from exposed fake news is unmeasurable. But what about the fake news that flies right under the radar?<br />
<br />
Today, I will present to you a small, vague, but important example of how fake news works. First, the reality is, <a href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2017/04/tiger-moms-cannibalisation-of-3rd-wave.html" target="_blank">people, don't read anymore. At least not in depth anyway.</a> As people have gotten busier and with advances in technology, there has been a tremendous decline in consumption of traditional news; especially print and mainly in newspapers.<br />
<br />
Now in one respect, this is good. This develops more voices and more voices create more news. The more sources of news, traditional or not, give people more choices. More choices, more likely you are to piece together the truth. But it also allows or encourages people to only read headlines. As I have noted before; 60% of the public only reads headlines.<br />
<br />
Incredibly, according to<a href="http://www.journalism.org/2016/05/26/news-use-across-social-media-platforms-2016/" target="_blank"> two Pew Research studies</a>, 44 percent of Americans get news from Facebook. And we all the reliability of Facebook's filters and matrixes. Combine that with your drunk friends ranting and raving at 2 am and you only reading the headlines? It's easy to see how one can easily build up walls of confirmation bias.<br />
<br />
And they're counting on just that.<br />
<br />
Now in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-russia-campaign-travel-business-phone-records-fbi-investigation-2017-3" target="_blank">this article per Yahoo via Business Insider</a>, the headline is a classic "Report suggests". Let’s open this up and see who they cite as sources. We open it and its "anonymous law enforcement". Disappointing, nobody on record. Then if that wasn't enough, two sentences later they discredit the entire article per "other agents" calling the "report" a damning "almost all circumstantial" that "cannot be used to make any conclusive suppositions". So, what we have here is a fugazi. There is nothing here. It's just a “gotcha” headline with multiple unnamed <i><b>yet</b></i>, conflicting ...speculative contradictions.<br />
<br />
A piece of news like this is to intellect what Diet Coke is to your daily diet.<br />
<br />
This creates confusion for the 40% of people who read it and for the 60% that don't, it creates a false narrative. This isn't journalism anymore. It's empty propaganda and should be treated as such. If that wasn't enough, consider the last section I highlighted (on graphic 1) and this is the link it opens to:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibGcVG4cioeVLnBk8_z4ImU8zyFEpW0SYMfcjBOijIG_xDGZZmX0Z4Y99AazPtMjwXkZGqeJxtilQNbEym1xrrN_5m8k0BbRa5MaZcf7hLZyTntTuS7sMof3m88le8ZR9GzToA59fU5KC4/s1600/Cover3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibGcVG4cioeVLnBk8_z4ImU8zyFEpW0SYMfcjBOijIG_xDGZZmX0Z4Y99AazPtMjwXkZGqeJxtilQNbEym1xrrN_5m8k0BbRa5MaZcf7hLZyTntTuS7sMof3m88le8ZR9GzToA59fU5KC4/s640/Cover3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This article points out the most important findings that came out of five hours of testimony. It bullets three of them as you can see above in the middle. They sum up to this:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Trump's wiretapping claim was false</li>
<li>Trump's connection to Russia via him or his associates</li>
<li>Pointing out investigation started in July 2016</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
First, Trump's wiretap claim? Semantics. Secondly, Mr. Comey admitted to investigating in July 2016 making the first bullet point true by default, thus Trump's claim would be true; he and/or his associates were under investigation. Wiretap? Maybe not tapping his phone but he was under investigation and perhaps, surveillance. Yet, here we are without any evidence... nine months later.<br />
<br />
Now the last point and the most important of them is the investigation between Trump and Russia. Five hours of testimony and 19 mentions of the word "intelligence" in this article and not one time does the word "counter" come before "intelligence". Weird, huh? If you read the quote on the right in red, straight from the horse's mouth, under oath, Mr. Comey clearly calls it what it is: a Counterintelligence Investigation.<br />
<br />
What is the significance of "Counterintelligence"? I'll just leave it to <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/article/446068/donald-trump-fbi-russia-investigation-counterintelligence-not-criminal" target="_blank">Dan Mclaughlin of National Review to explain</a>:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>First, it means that nobody determined that there was a basis to think a crime may have been committed — or that investigators were likely to uncover a crime — before starting an investigation. That’s not what people usually assume when they hear “FBI investigation.”</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Second, it means that the investigation has no target and no standards and that there is no expectation it will have a public endpoint.</i></blockquote>

<br />
<br />
Remember, the Director of National Intelligence under President Obama testified "NO EVIDENCE OF TRUMP-RUSSIA COLLUSION TO MY KNOWLEDGE"<br />
<br />
And don't just make the mistake of chalking this particular story up to one bad actor, this article via Yahoo and Business Insider mirror a similar one, on <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/20/us/politics/intelligence-committee-russia-donald-trump.html?_r=0" target="_blank">the same day, in the New York Times</a>. As you know, this is a coordinated effort to shape a narrative. A narrative that clearly shows the corporate media is aligned against the President of the United States. The bigger questions are why and just how far they will go to achieve their objective? Only time will tell.<br />

<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">So a friend of mine <a href="http://www.bestofneworleans.com/thelatest/archives/2017/03/22/louisiana-women-wont-receive-equal-pay-until-2115-study-predicts" style="border: 0px; color: #8224e3; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">sent me an article the other day</a> with a gotcha headline of:</span></div>

<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The article in question is only three paragraphs long. It provides no evidence of anything regarding a wage gap. There is no statistics. Just three different years. Seriously. There is this nugget:</span></div>

<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">We have all heard the numbers. White women make .77 cents on the dollar. Black women make 65 cents and Hispanic women make .55 cents on the “man”s dollar. Funny, how these studies always leave out Asian women. Maybe Asian women don’t fit the “People Of Color” narrative. Which, by the way, is one of the most “racist” types of groupings and microaggressions possible. What, minority populations are just all the same? Seems like their race doesn’t deserve to be identified? Maybe the bourgeoisie just can’t find the time, with all their protesting and gaslighting the logic of M.A.G.A? Or maybe they just don’t have room in the People Of Color inn? I’m seriously stumped. I know Asians tend to be small, I’ll give you that (Alabama black snake anyone). However, something is amiss.</span></div>

<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Asians, specifically Asian women here, are to the pay gap mythology what Salman Rushdie is to the Islamic mythology. No, Asian women are not illiterate-thieving-child raping-war lords. Like Rushdie, who grew up Islamic, only to be the subject of a Fatwa for calling Islam what it is: satanic. Asian women are educated and paid just about dollar for dollar in what white men (87%) are paid. As the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ah1uRDUj3sY" style="border: 0px; color: #8224e3; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">seer suckered suit clothed prophet</a> once said: “Asians are kicking our ass”.

<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Right now, there is someone out there thinking “87% is not a dollar, we still have 13% to go” but that’s not the case. First of all, Asian women tend to be split into two specific groups: highly educated = highly paid versus not educated = service industry jobs. Thus the service industry jobs drag down wages vs the educated wages in an aggregate. Think of the monopoly they possess as nail technicians. And no, that’s not “racist” all you social justice “warriors” those are called facts; as of 2007</span></div>

Most of all, if there was any anti-feminism sexism in America it would be those dirty, evil Asian men. This is because unlike white men (87 cents on the dollar) Asian women only make 79% of their racial counterparts wages. Where’s that outrage?

This is not a particularly hard concept. But that’s the point. It’s not about logic or making sense, its perpetual victim mentality. It’s a power grab. It’s almost hostage like. This is and will always be about culture. Asians pride themselves on scholastics. They hire tutors and expect their kids to graduate college in the same way many minorities hope their kids graduate high school. <a href="http://blogs.voanews.com/all-about-america/2016/04/11/why-asian-americans-are-the-most-educated-group-in-america/" style="border: 0px; color: #8224e3; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Thus these are the results you have</a>:</span></div>

And in defense of white women, they dominate every female professional field. It’s not like they are just handing out these jobs to people with no degree last time I checked. While Asain women graduate college more so than white women they are only 6% of the population. White women are still the largest demographic in the country. Hence that’s a lot of college-educated white women. Here are <a href="https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat11.htm" style="border: 0px; color: #8224e3; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">some examples of occupation and race from the BLS website for 2016</a>. If you go through the jobs (and there is plenty of other examples there that prove my point) you will see it’s not sexism or racism, rather its education and culture:</div>

I know its {current year} status here but it's true. The polarization of almost everything is putting strains on all relationships and none more so than the nuclear family. If anyone can appreciate this and understand the severity this is to us all it is surely the holy father. Surely, the pope and his infinite wisdom see's what is happening? Maybe he doesn't? Hes after all just a man. Or, maybe he does and is complicit?<br />
<br />
First things first, if you're a Christian, you don't need any middleman or ‘papacy’ to communicate with Yahweh or God. In fact, I would say putting a ‘man’ above all other men is kind of what Jesus came here to free us from in the first place. No false idols or false priests. The relationship with Jesus Christ as a Christian is one that is personal and solitary. No good deeds or others blessings will curry you favor with your maker. Only God knows your heart. Martin Luther made this point some 500 odd years ago.<br />
<br />
It was THAT Reformation that made the United States possible. It was 1300 years roughly from the starting point of Christianity and Catholicism; interestingly enough, around the same timeline we are in now in terms of years from the beginning of Islam. And while a reformation is badly needed in Islam its evident we won't see one anytime soon if at all.<br />
<br />
Islam is spreading. From nation state to nation state across Europe like cancer in a host who refuses to use chemo, The West, is being eaten alive by its own self-indulgent apathy. But who is to blame?<br />
<br />
The Obama administration, the same one who refused to call it “Radical Islam” when in fact it wasn't even that. It's just “Islam” doing “Islam”. Although that's another story for another day. But it was this mutt of a president and his nefarious Joseph Goebbels-like clone in Hillary Clinton, who took full advantage of Islamic migration via the Arab spring uprisings. 'Take advantage of ' is rather ambiguous how about they breathed the first puffs of breath into the lungs of those uprisings? Surely the previous administration, the deep state and the global liberal agenda’s running interference inside democratically elected and/or secular nation states resulting in mass destabilization of the Middle East is purely coincidental.<br />
<br />
With the elite political and power brokers on board for the chaos that only leaves one entity left; Christianity.<br />
<br />
And nobody exemplifies (deservedly or not) Christianity than the pope. The new cool hip pope.<br />
<br />
Let me be perfectly blunt. Fuck this pope. So much so, I didn't even bother to capitalize his name/title.<br />
<br />
This pope officially crossed the Rubicon two years ago <a href="http://nypost.com/2014/06/08/first-ever-jewish-muslim-christian-prayers-at-vatican/">when he allowed a Muslim</a> to PREY inside the Vatican. Of course, this is all in the plan to bring into action cool-hip pope's desire to “re-create a desire, a possibility” of eventually relaunching the Middle East’s stalled peace process. Peace in the Middle East? Rightttt. Ever since then it's been all downhill for this charlatan. Just consider these quotes over the last year or so:<br />

<br />
No cool, liberal pope - these things are like comparing apples to flip-flops. Muslims who commit terrorism are doing so in the name of Allah. Christians who kill their mother in law I assure you 99.999% of the time are not doing so in the name of Jesus. Islamic people committing such acts are not even in the wrong according to their book. <a href="http://blackpigeonspeaks.com/2017/02/why-islam-and-the-west-can-not-coexist/">As I have stated before, 500 passages of government rule and judicial guidelines straight out of Barbarism 101</a>. A Christian in that 00.001 percentile? There is no justification in the New Testament, therefore it's a user error. And I Denounce ANY idiot that does so. Give them the harshest penalty possible. There'll be no shelter or absolution for a user error. See how easy that is mythical-moderate-Muslims? What's the matter, cat got your tongue? Or does your book not allow it?<br />

<br />
<br />
Yes, you can. Freedom of speech includes hate speech. We are The West and if The West is truly The Best then all speech is admissible. If it's something someone disagrees with - then it should be met with a sharp and poignant response, not fear or terrorist acts. We will win on ideas. We don't need to cuck to the masses. We, the West, set the tone for the world; not the other way around.<br />
<br />
Then there is the cool-rad-pope hinting at the salvation of atheists saying how we (Christians):<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i> "were a little intolerant” and continued: "Father, the atheists?' Even the atheists. Everyone!" We must meet one another doing good. 'But I don't believe, Father, I am an atheist!' But do good: we will meet one another there."</i></blockquote>
<br />
Maybe things get lost in translation but an atheist or a “believer” doing good deeds won't get you “there”. I'm obviously 100% for atheists doing good. I'm not a professional theist and it's not my place to judge anyone but this message is a muddled one. It's ambiguous at best and at worst it's akin to a used car salesman on December 31st.<br />
<br />
How about <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-pope-latam-paraguay-idUSKCN0PL0Q420150712">the pope’s distaste for the very fuel</a> that built the world's first middle class and continues to drive Western Culture… capitalism.<br />
<br />
I saved the best for last. Only a week after our Emperor was anointed by God himself with the help of Pepe memes and logical Americans,<a href="https://www.rt.com/news/367579-pope-francis-epidemic-animosity/"> the pope put Brexit, Trump and the MAGA movement on blast:</a><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><br /></i><i>"how quickly those among us with the status of a stranger, an immigrant or a refugee become a threat, take on the status of an enemy... an enemy because they come from a distant country or have different customs. An enemy because of the color of their skin, their language or their social class. An enemy because they think differently or even have a different faith, how many wounds grow deeper due to this epidemic of animosity and violence, which leaves its mark on the flesh of many of the defenseless, because their voice is weak and silenced by this pathology of indifference...”</i></blockquote>
<br />
You see, it's not the messages from the pope soaked in ambiguity that bothers me. Nor is it the head scratching interpretation of the holy books. I wouldn't even say it's the cover-ups and payoffs in all the debauchery associated with the Church and all the mass and <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28282050">expansive kid fucking/raping;</a> although that is certainly right up there. It's not even about his projecting onto others what he does not suffer from. Like telling us to give just a liiiiiiiiittle bit more (while he sits in a city built out of gold… literally). It is the agenda. Or as <a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-18/biden-blasts-trump-putin-plan-collapse-liberal-international-order?page=3">Joe Biden eloquently called it in his last trip to Davos</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><br />“It will occur again, I promise you, and again the purpose is clear: <b>to collapse the liberal international order.”</b></i></blockquote>
<br />
Excuse me… the ‘order’. This pope is on record opposed to nationalism and to the self-determination it espouses and with that, the subsequent protection of his own subjects in various countries from raiding - warped - inbred - idealogs hell bent on their destruction. So much so he lets an Imam reading from the very playbook of that destruction read in THE(?) holy grounds. It's this cucked indifference that opens pandoras box for everything I have listed. This liberal order of the new hip-cool-LIBERAL pope and his church that makes this possible.<br />
<br />
Now let me read something to you. Allow me to dovetail this to Biden in his speech from Davos just a few months ago but this time from S<a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/lesterfeder/this-is-how-steve-bannon-sees-the-entire-world?utm_term=.fgjQ2n5oX#.tnVZQAXG4">teve Bannon addressing.... The Vatican in 2014</a><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><b>The central thing that binds that all together is a center-right populist movement of really the middle class, the working men and women in the world who are just tired of being dictated to by what we call the party of Davos.</b></i></blockquote>
<br />
I don't know much latin but I do know this: "alea iacta est"—the die is cast.<br />

<i><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial";">I think Senator McCain's perspective is colored by his disagreements with President Trump on foreign policy. If I were to look at foreign policy, I would say John McCain has been wrong on just about everything over the last four decades. He advocated for the Iraq War, which I think destabilized the Middle East. If you look at the map, there's probably at least six different countries where John McCain has advocated for having U.S. boots on the ground. John McCain's complaint is we're either not at war somewhere, or if we're at war, we leave too soon. So we're not there soon enough, and he wants us to stay forever wherever we send troops.Everything that he says about the president is colored by his own personal dispute he has got running with President Trump. And it should be taken with a grain of salt because John McCain is the guy that has advocated for war everywhere. He would bankrupt the nation.</span></span></i></div>

Why all this perpetual war? Unlike his counterpart and fellow Trump citric in the house, McCain doesn't appear to have the same owners as Thornberry. Not that a cumulative $1.2 million in defense industry donations to McCain is nothing to sneeze at. And we won't take into consideration McCains and forever boy toy and pal Lindsey Graham's infamous<a href="https://thinkprogress.org/mccain-anti-sequestration-tour-partially-funded-by-defense-contractor-pac-money-6f8574c7e04c#.9favmg6v4" style="color: #cc0000; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"> anti-sequestration tour </a>that was partially funded via defense contractor PAC loot.

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">What we are witnessing is something out of those radical 60's. It was that “new” Left that caught the establishments eye and took notice before Nixon was elected and before Woodstock was even an idea. It was that threat to the establishment that propelled those in power to take measures to curb their growing influence. Color, creed, veterans were no longer a divide. It was based on their unification of ideas. Ideas transcend all divisions. It shows up in the voter's booth. Hence now, the unification to Make America Great Again is a tent so unique and diverse it presents a similar threat to the establishment. </span></div>

It's everywhere in between coast to coast. When you present people with the issues it's not identity politics people identify with it's their country, their jobs, their security. This new loose collection of voters comprises the “new” Right. They don't show up in your polls and you cannot pigeonhole them anymore with usual terminology that divides and conquers. The game is changed. Ideas are starting to win again. And because of this its this “new” Right that is public enemy no. 1. We have seen many declassified operations over the years come to light, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDCfTIapds0" target="_blank">Operation Mockingbird comes to mind</a>.

Your story was an Americana wet dream. A downed naval aviator fighter pilot who survived two years of, what I assume would nothing short of hell, as a POW in Vietnam and an esteemed politician with numerous bill passed with his fingerprints on them. A man who even has a navy battleship named in his honor. You even ran for President and introduced us to Sarah Palin.<br />
<br />
This is a storybook like a career.<br />
<br />
If only the story is fiction rather than truth.<br />
<br />
You were for amnesty before you were against it (politically convenient when facing a Tea Party Candidate for your Senate seat)<br />
<br />
You once labeled your stance against torture “a defining issue” for Americans and the role of the Commander in Chief before you signed legislation to allow it.<br />
<br />
You were involved and exonerated in regards to Lincoln Savings and Loan but we all know where there is smoke (at the tune of 3 billion) there is fire.<br />

People called you a "Maverick". And you believed them. You have been an elected official since 1982. You're one of the longest-serving senators in American history. You have gone as far as to defend career politicians as “irreplaceable”. Of course, you would. U.S. Term Limits (USTL) <a href="https://www.termlimits.org/mccain-punted-on-term-limits-wikileaks/" target="_blank">offered you to sign the pledge</a> to: “to sponsor a bill for a constitutional amendment limiting House members to three terms and senators to two. But you naturally refused.<br />
<br />
Lastly, you have<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/02/17/john-mccain-just-systematically-dismantled-donald-trumps-entire-worldview/?utm_term=.c6da764cd747" target="_blank"> gone on a crusade</a> against our sitting President. You went to Germany recently on foreign soil and <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-security-mccain-trump-idUSKBN15W210" target="_blank">talked about how our administration “is in disarray”</a>. Disgraceful.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><br /> "I think that the Flynn issue obviously is something that shows that in many respects this administration is in disarray and they've got a lot of work to do. The president, I think, makes statements (and) on other occasions contradicts himself” </i></blockquote>
<br />
You're the same guy who had such "<a href="http://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2017-01-11/amid-claims-of-russia-donald-trump-ties-john-mccain-says-he-sent-sensitive-information-to-fbi" target="_blank">sensitive information"</a> fall into his lap last year, the smoking gun that would show a link between Russia and Trump. It failed. You're the same guy who bashed Trump for having a connection with Russia even though <a href="http://truepundit.com/wikileaks-exposes-john-mccains-illegal-request-for-campaign-cash-from-russian-ambassador-who-suddenly-died-monday-in-nyc/" target="_blank">you're the same son of a bitch who asked Russia to help your campaign back in 2008</a>. But that doesnt stop you from talking tough on Russia. <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/senate/316500-mccain-reckless-for-trump-to-lift-russia-sanctions" target="_blank">From the Hill last month:</a><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"For the sake of America’s national security and that of our allies, I hope President Trump will put an end to this speculation and reject such a reckless course," McCain said in a statement Friday. "If he does not, I will work with my colleagues to codify sanctions against Russia into law."</i></blockquote>
<br />
Maybe that's because they told you to kiss off and REFUSED to help you or anyone else running for office. That seems rather ironic with Trump and his obvious interference from Russia. Or maybe they just wanted to back a winner? You know, BEFORE he rebuked you and your sad request. <a href="http://too%20bad%20churkin%20didn%27t%20die%20a%20few%20years%20earlier%20eh%20johnny%20boy/?" target="_blank">Wikileaks exposed your pathetic ass</a>. Now what? Too bad Churkin didn't die a few years earlier eh Johnny boy?<br />

What's to even suggest and wonder about your relationship with "The Kingdom". A boot licking extraordinaire if I've ever seen one.<br />

You play up this war hero business still without realizing you have stayed too long. Your accomplishments will only be as memorable as your constant desire to broker power blocs in your various federal posts as well as some of the things I've outlined here.<br />

I won't call you a RINO, traitor, whore or a sell-out. You're part of the old guard. You're an establishment relic. So you do not understand Trump. Or me. Or the "New" Right.<br />

All this despite the fact that The West abolished slavery some 170+ years ago. Allow me to take this a bit further because as we all know the National Review does not have the guts to speak the entire truth. </span></div>

I am not a Jew so I won't pretend to know Judaism. I will say however the New Testament was clearly a collection of books and accounts for the individual's relationship with his God. Not the church. The individual. That individual mindset and the ability to separate the two gave us the fertile ground for a Constitution & Bill of Rights. It gave us the power and confidence to have a Separation of Church and State and Freedom of Religion. Because the story of Christ wins on ideas. </span></div>

The very same book that is interwoven with almost 500 passages of rule of law and judiciary revelations. Following the Koran thus creates a problem if you live in the West. Like Prof Jonathan Brown (who supports Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel), It forces you to have to explain things like slavery and stoning a woman for walking at night alone and being raped; to a college kid in the US in 2017. But apparently, it's not that hard to do after all. Brown (who is white and was an evangelical) himself was converted at the very same university in 2010 by his Islamic studies professor. Consider the words of this Professor from Georgetown: </span></div>

But the Right took a Libertarian red-pill over the last few years... and now, that's all been erased & reversed. We are the new punk rock</span></div>

I have only read about the particulars. I understand the financial stagflation that preceded the Gipper's emergence. I know about Paul Volcker's interest rate policies that helped fuel the record-breaking growth in the 80’s. The tax breaks and even the tax hikes. You can read all you want, hear second-hand accounts from respected and loved ones, year after year but to truly live it, to really feel the atmosphere… to taste the zeitgeist; it has to be indescribable or I'm just not qualified enough to suggest otherwise. But I am qualified. So, let me ask this mostly rhetorical question but still honest enough to punctuate it with a question mark… has there ever been a better time to be a Conservative? </span></div>

You know the score. Even yesterday's Super Bowl was politicized. Props to Lady Gaga for not adding to it. Just like Trump, the Patriots won because they had the better ideas. They had the better coaching staff. Atlanta became complacent and made no adjustments before the momentum was too much. Even to a Steeler fan in Western Pennsylvania writing this, yesterday felt like the November 8th. But this analogy isn't the purpose of my point here. </span></div>

It's about the Zeitgeist of our present day. Where in 2017, in present day America you can be beaten for wearing a Trump hat. A political slogan and color can actually do this. Even the Swastika doesn't generate that resistance from the left (imagine that). Where embracing the rule of law over collectivists of racial rantings that are not backed by facts or logic. Police are not the Black man's problem. The Black man's problem is the Black man. Where feminism embraces Islam ... over the West? Where feminists now claim to be Muslims. HAHAHA. LOLZ. </span></div>

Those people who call themselves “AntiFas” or Anti-Fascists as they are called.Fascist demanding people to abandon their 1st amendment rights? That irony is about as good as it gets. And when these protests eventually fall flat on their face like they always do so begins the violence. I mean how DARE you someone of opposite opinion exercise your right to free speech at my public university. Mind you, we are talking about the FIRST AMENDMENT. Not the 2nd or 4th or 9th or 17th.

Assault weapons? What are assault weapons? How many white dudes who commit crime are doing so with “assault weapons”?

<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">There are dramatic race differences in crime rates. Asians have the lowest rates, followed by whites, and then Hispanics. Blacks have notably high crime rates. This pattern holds true for virtually all crime categories and for virtually all age groups.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">In 2013, a black was six times more likely than a non-black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">In 2013, of the approximately 660,000 crimes of interracial violence that involved blacks and whites, blacks were the perpetrators 85 percent of the time. This meant a black person was 27 times more likely to attack a white person than vice versa. A Hispanic was eight times more likely to attack a white person than vice versa.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">In 2014 in New York City, a black was 31 times more likely than a white to be arrested for murder, and a Hispanic was 12.4 times more likely. For the crime of “shooting” — defined as firing a bullet that hits someone — a black was 98.4 times more likely than a white to be arrested, and a Hispanic was 23.6 times more likely.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">If New York City were all white, the murder rate would drop by 91 percent, the robbery rate by 81 percent, and the shootings rate by 97 percent.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">In an all-white Chicago, murder would decline 90 percent, rape by 81 percent, and robbery by 90 percent.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">In 2015, a black person was 2.45 times more likely than a white person to be shot and killed by the police. A Hispanic person was 1.21 times more likely. These figures are well within what would be expected given race differences in crime rates and likelihood to resist arrest.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">In 2015, police killings of blacks accounted for approximately 4 percent of homicides of blacks. Police killings of unarmed blacks accounted for approximately 0.6 percent of homicides of blacks. The overwhelming majority of black homicide victims (93 percent from 1980 to 2008) were killed by blacks.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Both violent and non-violent crime has been declining in the United States since a high in 1993. 2015 saw a disturbing rise in murder in major American cities that some observers associated with “depolicing<span style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">” in response to intense media and public scrutiny of police activity.</span></span></li>

Black folks, particularly young black men who might make up, what 2-55 of the population... are unequivocally more dangerous than a white man despite an attitude or any weapon he might have. He can denounce and ignore “black on black crime” as not being real but the truth of the matter is it's pure evasion on his part and others like him because when you look at the data it's black and white (pardon that glorious pun). </span></span></div>

Is it racist for police to be more cautious or leery of young Black males? Can you really blame someone from crossing the street at night to avoid crossing paths with said young Black men?

There are people that will make the case that Pit bulls are only dangerous because they have bad owners. Pit bulls are good dogs in the right hands. Just like people on the left make excuses for the problems in inner cities with young Black males DESPITE the fact that before the 60’s under harsh conditions the Black community never had these problems. Remember, that was the days of the two parent household still - the Left has no time for that. Now, I know what you're thinking…. HE’S CALLING BLACK MEN DOGS. </span></span></div>

The report never had that destination outcome. Interestingly enough, that report did tell us how the media are unable to cross the front-line into northern/western Syria. Funny way to gather info and intel to build a story, no? Journalism through 2nd and 3rd channels isn't journalism anymore. Its at the mercy of whoever can control said sources.

<span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">In a place, where cowards shouting "Allahu akbar" used civilians and their residences as shields from bombings. What a great God they have.

<span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">We have seen this play out in Libya as well. Defined by the West on its watch lists as “extremists” but used by the West openly as useful idiots in the pursuit of regime change against a secular middle eastern nation.</span><br />
<span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span> If we are to engage and our goal is to eradicate these extremist groups then lets do so. What we can't have is this posture where we allow ourselves to arm these extremists over democratically elected leaders. It sends a mixed message and is ineffective. </div>

<span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">All of this is lies at the feet and the blood on the hands of the prince of peace himself, the neoliberals anointed one, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama. Mr. Nobel Peace Prize. A President of the United States who won the Nobel Peace Prize before he even stepped into office. The same man who burst onto the scene under the guise of transparency. Who ran a campaign against nation building and regime changes. The same man who would come to execute more drone strikes than his predecessor. A man who would choose to arm radical Islam over nations with democratically elected governments. What happened? Did he do an 180 because he wanted to or was he just doing what he was told?</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">There was no congressional authorization for launching air raids in Syria. There was no authorization in Libya either you know what started out as a “humanitarian effort” to only become another “</span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Moderate</span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">” extremist-backed “resistance” that ended up with the Muslim brotherhood filling the vacuum.

<span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">This leads me to my questions:</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">How do we get to a point where we are supporting the elimination of democracy at the hands of extreme Muslim terror?</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">All of a sudden an extreme Sunni/Wahhabism hybrid decides to enter Aleppo as liberators? Despite every conquest by these actors has been extreme and violent to the natives they confront.</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Why would Al-Assad enter Aleppo to butcher citizens (as some reported) while it was being held by these “terrorists” in a city of mixed ethnicities and religions who before the uprising lived side by side in peace under Assad?</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
Why do we support a nation like Saudi Arabia? A nation led by Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul-Aziz ibn Abdullah Al ash-Sheikh whom has declared Sunni Islam as enemies and wants to purify the Sunni sect or you could also say 80% of Islam. All this despite the fact Wahhabism is the overwhelming majority of “terrorists”?</div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">Why do all of our end results in the middle east we engage in result in destabilization?</span><br />
<span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span> <span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;">There are plenty of options for answers but the conclusions to be drawn from these options are about as fuzzy as the reasoning for these actions I laid out in my questioning. I have written about the petrodollar </span><a data-mce-href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2012/02/iran-nuclear-threat-or-dollar-threat.html" href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2012/02/iran-nuclear-threat-or-dollar-threat.html" style="color: #4db2ec; text-decoration: none;">many</a><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;"> many times but that might be just part of the story. If there is one thing we do know, Mr. Obama your legacy is clear: we want our award back. See, I know YOU think you deserved the award without merit DESPITE the fact that you were the polar opposite of peace. And its this entitlement that makes you the poster boy for the infamous cultural suicide we embrace today; the participation trophy. Nevertheless, Nobel committee secretary Geir Lundestad finally sees it like I see it (sort of). As he wrote in his memoir: "Secretary of Peace. 25 years with the Nobel Prize" ...</span></div>

"thought it would strengthen Obama and it didn't have this effect."<br />
"In hindsight, we could say that the argument of giving Obama a helping hand was only partially correct,"<br />
"Even many of Obama's supporters believed that the prize was a mistake,"<br />
"In that sense, the committee didn't achieve what it had hoped for"</div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">No time for subtleties. American teachers, administrators & bureaucrats but teachers more than anyone else… you suck. You have failed generations of students and this nation. There is no dancing around it any longer. Just accept the truth for what it is and maybe <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">WE</em> can fix your mess. I’ll get back to that.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Unless you live in some Unabomber utopia completely devoid of social media over the last week then you missed out on the high-tech lynching of one Betsy Devos. The school choice champion out of Michigan who was lambasted via her Senate confirmation hearing this week. There were some questions she either refused to answer or simply flat out did not know or even have an intelligent answer to. Under normal circumstances in this setting, it would be alarming and naturally, that’s all the red meat the liberals needed to declare DEFCON 5 across Twitter, Facebook and the like.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Suddenly your aunt, cousin or brother who happens to be one of 3.1 million full-time teachers across the country all of a sudden were instantly macro political scientists. People who normally don’t even know who makes up the three branches of government were “WOKE”. Pitchfork in one hand with the other shielding their sixteen students with the steadfast resolve of a mother grizzly bear protecting her cubbies.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Knowing full well, the overwhelming majority didn’t watch the hearing but instead picked up the cliff notes and immediately were enlightened. The irony of teachers taking the shortcut and coming up with subpar opinions/equivalencies is rich. Only in America can you spend a boatload on mediocrity and then have the perpetrators burn a strawman. And not get called on it. But those days are over. If we are to have this discussion let’s put all the cards on the table. If education is really the foundation for our Republic than its too important to mince words any longer.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">First of all Devos, she’s a hatchet (wo)man. She was picked to grab the bull ( the education system) by the horns and push it to “school choice” as opposed to the traditional public education model. If and when she makes this a reality; mission accomplished. Devos has been a proponent of Common Core; a socialist/globalist wet dream where everyone at best achieves average. Just smart enough to run the machines but too dumb to think critically outside the box. Thus no threat to the power structure. Fittingly, that kind of sums up Devos here in both regards. Now that we got that out the way and are no longer mincing words…</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Teachers? Yeah, back to them and I’m talking to all 3+ million of you. You suck. The results are in. The numbers don’t lie. We are floundering across the board compared to all other 1st world nations by just about every metric. No matter how much we shrink class sizes, no matter how much money we essentially set on fire IN THE NAME OF THE CHILDREN; nothing changes. And not only do you suck, you’re defiant and completely ignorant to your complicity in the rot that is at the core of the US Public education system.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">We have seen a bureaucracy of a few powerful unions envelop the educational system like a Burmese python. This control and power so rigid and consolidated, it creates an environment where teachers performance and aptitude mean nothing and outside of giving a kid fellatio in his or her classroom with multiple witnesses… virtually impossible to fire them. Sure, there are some great teachers. Everyone can remember their favorite or most impactful teachers but we forget about the average or poor ones. Just how many poor teachers though are there?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">

After a five-month investigation, LA Weekly determined that the Los Angeles Unified School District, with its 885 schools and 617,000 students who educate one in every 10 children in California spent $3.5 million trying to fire just seven of the district’s 33,000 teachers for poor classroom performance. The average cost of those cases was $500,000.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Not sure about the averages here but 33k teachers and only 7 were deemed incompetent? Apply those odds anywhere else in the American workforce and get back to me. Think about your drive-thru experiences. Think about contractors. Think about police (whom half are racist anyway, right?). How about priests? Think about watching your favorite football team. Or an MMA bout. You see what I did there at the end?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">There are substandard or incompetent professionals everywhere; in every profession. Teaching is no exception. Yet it’s never even in the debate while our educational gains have been marginal if at all – over the last 30 years. We seem to have been inflicted with: Teacher Worship Syndrome. We’ve seen the Department of Education’s solutions for our educational apathy. We’ve tried no Child Left Behind. Common Core. We’ve incentivized teachers and students alike. From limo rides </span><a data-wpel-link="external" href="http://cleveland.cbslocal.com/2012/02/13/cincinnati-high-school-paying-students-to-come-to-school/" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e9aa00; text-decoration: none;" target="_new">to Visa gift cards</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> for just showing up. That’s right, we’ve resorted to paying for a public (free) education and still… not enough.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">It’s gotten so bad and because teachers are so untouchable that </span><a data-wpel-link="external" href="http://www.slate.com/articles/business/the_dismal_science/2012/07/how_to_improve_teaching_new_evidence_that_poor_teachers_can_learn_to_be_good_ones_.html" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e9aa00; text-decoration: none;" target="_new">Slate ran a story </a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">a few years ago on how “bad teachers can be made into good teachers”. It’s just our kids and all of our futures at stake, just capitulate, throw some training at them and viola. Presto, we have better teachers. Except for that doesn’t work. The study the article was built around was a study done in a school district in Ohio in 2001, that centered on Teacher Evaluation System or TES. Despite its success or failure, it didn’t pick up steam as the article points out: “a 2009 survey by the New Teacher Project found that school districts rarely use evaluation for any purpose other than remediation and dismissal”.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">So… no oversight. No accountability. Par for the course.</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">James Marshall Crotty, who wrote a flaming deposition for Forbes back in 2012, came across some facts that only further compound my case, consider:</span></div>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Despite high U.S. unemployment and far higher under-employment, major U.S. employers cannot find qualified American applicants to fill their job openings (<a data-wpel-link="external" href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2017/01/the-newish-economy-dirty-jobs-trump.html" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e9aa00; text-decoration: none;" target="_new">skills gap</a>). For instance, 63% of aerospace and life science firms report shortages of “qualified workers.”</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">75% of U.S. citizens ages 17-24 cannot pass military entrance exams because they are not physically fit, have criminal records, or because they lack critical skills needed in modern warfare, including how to locate on a map military theaters in which the U.S. is fulsomely engaged, such as Afghanistan</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;">According to a recent report by the not-for-profit testing organization, ACT, only 22 percent of U.S. high school students met “college ready” standards in all of their core subjects; these figures are even lower for Hispanic and African-American students. This means that, upon graduating high school, more than 50% of college-bound students need to take remedial classes in one or more subjects, though a far lower percentage actually do.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;">In 2009 PISA, U.S. students ranked fourteenth in reading, twenty-fifth in math, and seventeenth in science compared to students in other developed countries.</li>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">How do we fix this mess? McKinsey & Company, an independent consulting firm outside of the education lynch-mob has </span><a data-wpel-link="external" href="http://mckinseyonsociety.com/downloads/reports/Education/Worlds_School_Systems_Final.pdf" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e9aa00; text-decoration: none;" target="_new">made some rather compelling arguments</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"> on just how and why our teachers are to blame for our education ineptitude. From the Asian model, more specifically the Singapore model the proof is all in teacher selection and retention. How to select them and how to keep them is the largest indicator from boom or bust. Take Finland for example, the leading nation in education the world over:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Students don’t start school until they are of age seven. In the first two years of school, they spend 4-5 hours per day in it. Yet at the age of 15, Finnish students are atop of the world’s testing at math, reading science and problem-solving.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">PAYS PRIMARY EDUCATORS MORE THAN SECONDARY EDUCATORS. Seems too logical. </span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">They recruit from the top 10% of college graduates in education to become teachers.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Finland has a two stage selection process just to get into university to train as teachers; here in the states all you need is a pencil and piece of paper and you can be a teacher.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Finland frontloads salaries. By starting at a higher salary either money isn’t an issue anymore as the gap from a teacher with 1-year service to a teacher of 30 years service is at most 18%.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Finland also requires all teachers to have a masters degree. </span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">They also require teachers to assemble together in groups. Collaborating on lesson plans, reviewing each other’s lessons thus helping each other improve. They even off time off (one afternoon each week) to accommodate this to happen.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Special Education is destigmatized. Finland has an average of 1 in 7 teachers are for special education as many as 30% of its students while need some assistance in a school year.</span></li>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">As I said, in the beginning, these are not the normal circumstances. Yes, the setting is the same with the hearings on Devos but this is a scene out of the Matrix. Where the bullets are in slow motion. Where you are fending off multiple enemies with martial arts while admiring the wall decor. Trump, is trolling anyone that got upset by this nomination or any of his other nominations for his cabinet. His selections for their respective posts are almost all adversaries of their cabinet position. Devos is no exception. She has been on record saying “government truly sucks” and called public education a “dead end” because, well because the results speak for themselves. Trump wants to burn a lot of these agencies to the ground and the Department of Education created only 37 years ago is at the top of his list. I mean how did we ever learn without it for 200+ years? But our cotton candy soft populous couldn’t handle that approach, there wouldn't be enough safe spaces and cuddling corners around academia for that fix. So the trojan horse method looks like the softest landing for what needs to be done.</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Education here in the states via the federal communist monopoly is spinning its wheels, so why not try something completely different? Why not put it back into the hands of those very states where the advantage of a republic can take hold like its supposed to? Where a city or state can adopt a different pedagogy. Over time the cream rises to the top and all the states can learn from each other. <a href="http://www.usnews.com/opinion/knowledge-bank/2015/10/05/washington-dc-shows-why-charter-schools-are-taking-off" target="_blank">Look at DC</a>.

Having fewer choices and competition is a close minded, scared and a fatally failed perspective. Not to mention completely un-American. There is a lot of you teachers out there and of course, most of you don’t suck. However, if you want to keep ignoring the fact that those around you or even you, yourself, isnt the solution but are actually the problem; then keep blaming Trump and continue arm chairing senate committee hearings. Or in other words, shit in one hand and stuff your complaints inside the other. Do THAT math year after year and grade the results. </span></div>

Consider the fundamental backdrop of this wall.</span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">On one hand, it's obviously ideal to keep campaign promises. Especially if those promises are ones that will be challenging. This will not only build credibility from supporters and detractors alike but it would also show something in short supply of these days in The Swamp and that is - Character. For someone to actually campaign on something truly remarkable while on the trail and follow through with it once elected despite political and public pressure is nothing short of unicorn status anymore. The norm in modern political discourse is the ObamaCare debacle. For what was promised on the trail compared to what was passed once Obama gained office is like comparing Sammy Sosa circa 1998 to now. </span><br />

Despite my Libertarian stances and views on drugs, this would surely disrupt business as usual revolving drug and human trafficking. The <a data-mce-href="https://www.dea.gov/docs/2015%20NDTA%20Report.pdf" href="https://www.dea.gov/docs/2015%20NDTA%20Report.pdf" style="color: #4db2ec; text-decoration: none;">DEA’s 2015 National Drug Assessment Summary</a> illustrates just how dominate the Mexican cartels are in the illegal drug trade.

By today's standards, that's a drop in the bucket but this along with everything else Mr. Trump wants to do will cost money. And in case anyone hasn't noticed the last two presidents to serve full terms have each doubled the national debt by the time they left. This irresponsible result isn't sustainable long term. </span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">A potentially troubling outcome could be another hammer blow into the divide of a public that seems to splinter by the day. In contrast with many of most in my Libertarian ilk, while I'm firmly in the “a nation is no nation without borders” camp I'm also a realist and think of myself as being pragmatic. And in what I'm about to suggest might have some Machiavellian undertones but it's paramount in my view for the survival of The West.</span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">The Wall while functional and surely within its merits does not override the United States relationships with her neighbors from the south. And I say, neighbors because Mexico illegal immigration has slumped over the years instead of being replaced by immigrants further south. Some of you may be thinking: “Yeah but they still come via Mexico” and that would be correct but besides the point.</span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">The point of this essay and the fundamental foundation for all my writing is the preservation of Western ideals and culture.

Anyone that follows Black Pigeon Speaks knows full well the situation with migrants and Europe's downward spiral via multiculturalism. Why would they not only allow this but continue to do nothing continuously, DESPITE the egregious and blatant primitive actions seems dumbfounding? The reality is Europe is dying off. The birth rates in most of its nations are well below the replacement level of 2.1 with some like Spain at 1.4. It is irreversible unless you start convincing the natives (of Europe) to embark on a baby boom. Sadly, the world cup is only once every four years.</span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">So with low birthrate and an aging population, SOMEONE has to come in to make the car, stock the shelves, sell the beer and fill out the ranks. Ah, yes… Europe evidently didn't learn from their predecessor. As it was the Romans embracing conquests that led to the pillaging and absorbing of other cultures that would one day make up the bulk of their armies. Instead of Romans it was immigrated or captured barbarians flooding the ranks. Not surprisingly, they did not share as high esteem of the Roman culture as did the legendary legion’s (predominantly native men) before them. How’d that turn out?</span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">According to a Pew Research study, between 2010 and 2015 “In every region for which data were available, the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) for Muslims (3.1) is at or above the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman (the number needed to maintain a stable population, all else being equal).” In fact, Muslims have a larger fertility rate than the world’s population overall (2.5)</span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Islam will grow from 1.8 billion in 2010 to 2.8 billion in 2050. Thus making Islam growing twice as fast as the world population. And when this subject comes up there is always someone who points out that Islam will slow in terms of growth in the next fifty years but what they leave out is so will everyone else. All religions will. Care to guess what religion is still growing the fastest even then? Of course, Islam.</span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span><span data-mce-style="font-weight: 400;" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">How does this relate to us?

These are Christians now matter how you dice it. Regardless of your religious affiliation, if you're Pro West then you have to understand that the West was built upon, to a large extent, Judeo-Christian values. By all accounts, Latin America is the best ally we have in the culture war that is being waged on various fronts.

Of course not. This just means we need to be cognitive in our discourse regarding the ideological battlefield. Mexicans and the rest of South America are not a threat to our culture. To our ideals.

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">The man, if you can call him such, who ghoulishly rubs his hands in a heated frenzy at the idea of our destruction, like the bloodthirsty- cannibal – commie he is, hell bent on the destabilization of the entire west.</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">That’s the script anyway, right? Weird how that works. It’s a strange time we live in. A time where the government decides what questions to ask and just who to ask them to. It’s not new of course but it doesn’t make it any easier to swallow.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">The audacity of Mr. Clapper is astonishing. First of all, for us, as Americans to collectively point the finger at another country for meddling and sabotage is laughable if it wasn’t so reprehensible and unequivocally ironic. Sadly, so much of our geopolitical makeup and stances are just this.</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">I could go on. And on. And on. But for the sake of clarity, structure and respect for a sensible word count – let’s get to the point. We demand another country to pay the piper for infiltrating our election while we run the largest covert and clandestine operations of anyone in the world on friends and foes alike.</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">EVEN if this was true what would have happened? They would never have changed a vote. All they would have done was expose the dirty laundry of the DNC and its quarterback, one Hillary Clinton. And that would have been the point. She was itching for a war with Russia. And has <a data-wpel-link="external" href="http://www.salon.com/2016/10/21/hillary-clinton-admitted-in-2013-that-a-no-fly-zone-would-kill-a-lot-of-syrians-but-still-wants-one/" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e9aa00; text-decoration: none;" target="_new">been pushing so for years</a> at her time as Secretary of State.

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">A no-fly zone initiated over another sovereign nation that you never declared war on? Where have we seen this before? Seems legitimate.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">I have the direct opposite take from that of our intelligence community. One that is quite simply this, knowing what we know about Mrs Clinton if Russia didn’t intervene in some capacity to influence the election</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">I would assume they were either severely incompetent or awaiting a mutual destruction endgame. Why would they want a presidential candidate who is openly hostile to their standing in the world, in power of the most deadly armed forces the globe has ever seen? So, whether they hacked the emails is of insignificance to me.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Staying with this alternate reality (like the one our intelligence community and administration likes to play ie <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">a reality without evidence</strong>) if there was any hacking shouldn’t the onus fall on the DNC? For being quite frankly, lazy, incompetent and just unappealable to the undecided voter? Seems plausible enough.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">I mean it’s THEIR security that was hacked after all. If not the bumbling DNC, then who? You can’t blame another nation for doing what we (and every other nation mind you) do on a day to day basis and that is mine for data to use to said nation(s) advantage.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">So then, I turn my attention to the real culprit here and that lies at the feet of our national security. Because no matter what; shouldn’t the role of national security involve ummm…. SECURITY? And if the security is breached shouldn’t we look at our security in place or lack thereof?</span></div>
<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 26px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">As of last year, we had over 100k people working on our behalf in the US intelligence community.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Just two years ago taxpayers funded and completed the NSA’s Data Center, the 1.5 billion dollar/1 million square foot facility in Utah whose sole purpose is spying and data collection.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">In 2003 we see the creation of Homeland Security whose budget often lies anywhere in the 40-80 billion dollar range annually.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 26px; margin-left: 21px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Let us not forget about the FBI and of course, where would we be without the CIA and its <a data-wpel-link="external" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/national/black-budget/" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e9aa00; text-decoration: none;" target="_new">black budget</a>. A virtual blank check from the Department of Defense for the Central Intelligence Agency and its brother and sister agencies working in the intelligence community. A budget which has been reported to be in the 50 billion dollar range</span></li>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">That seems like quite the defense. It would seem we have all we need to stop or thwart any mass scale, state-sponsored hacking program. Yet, James Clapper is asking for more? An INCREASE? That begs the question, could our national security really be incompetent? And this is where things go off the rails in opposite directions.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">It would seem, a regional strategy to support the mujahideen in Afghanistan to defeat Russia was an end justify the means approach despite the blowback that occurred with Al Qaeda and subsequently 9-11. An unforeseen error I would surmise.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">What about a strategy that has seen us embrace regime change in Iraq. A nation that was secular in an Islamic theocracy dominated middle east? To then promote nation building then abandon said nation while creating vacuums that foster groups like ISIS? Do those ends justify the means too? Was Iraq such a threat?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Or what about Libya? We participated in air support and a no-fly zone (ah there it is) in the overthrow and the removal of another secular leader in </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Gaddafi <a data-wpel-link="external" href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/libya-from-africas-richest-state-under-gaddafi-to-failed-state-after-nato-intervention/5408740" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e9aa00; text-decoration: none;" target="_new">who grew Libya into the richest nation on the continent of Africa</a>. To only see it fall into the hands of rebels and a climate of total deprivation and chaos.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">How about secular Syria who has seen us wave the sword at for decades? Always right there to punish them by sanctions and or by proxy as the <a data-wpel-link="external" href="https://shadowproof.com/2016/08/25/re-branded-al-qaeda-group-syria-receiving-us-weapons/" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e9aa00; text-decoration: none;" target="_new">US backs the same terrorist ties</a> that the US pinned 9-11 on. Does this seem like a sound strategy?</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
And then <a data-wpel-link="external" href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2012/02/iran-nuclear-threat-or-dollar-threat.html" rel="external" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e9aa00; text-decoration: none;" target="_new">there is Iran</a>.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">If radicalization and theocracies don’t share our values then why are our intelligence community and the nation following a script that has us doing the exact opposite shaping our geopolitical landscape? That leads to only one logical answer because that is the objective. We want to destabilize the region.</span></div>

We want to control the energy in the region via pipeline deals and the players who sit in an area where ⅔’s of the world’s oil supply is derived from. All of these are true. All of these are objectives.</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">If Russia infiltrated the election to merely expose the neocons and hawks of the left (Clinton) they do so at the behest of the entire free world. The world that would rather not end.</span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box;">So the witch hunt that’s taking place regarding Russia via our intelligence community and our mainstream “media” is the US trying to reshape the narrative. A narrative where they are back trying to dupe the public into another hail mary from the cold war playbook. However, the cold war has ended and we have the internets. We won’t be fooled again.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">We are all witness in this new golden age of journalism and media, the likes we have never seen before. With a video camera and an internet connection, people are etching out their own place in the world to tell truths and raise suspicion in ways we haven't seen since the days of Thomas Paine.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">As more media comes online, media that isn't solely driven by profit but instead driven by passion & truth it's competing on level playing field and in some cases replacing traditional media outlets. Where no longer your platform is your advantage. And it's not just newspapers in jeopardy anymore. All traditional and mainstream media quivers with the notion they're being tuned OUT, not IN. But to be a credible witness you must pass the jury of truth.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">We are that jury of truth. Words, ironically enough do matter. Thank you, leftists! And if we sit back and take everyone at face value without preconceived notions of platform and statue whose words are true and whose are incoherent nonsense may surprise you.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Today I present to you, the jury of truth, three witnesses. And the case I present to you is Jobs and the skills gap. Skills "gap," you say? This happens to be a dirty little secret for anyone that works in construction or simply travels the country enough to see there are jobs to be had; we just don't have the quality of trained people to fill them. As a small business owner myself, for me this is the biggest struggle I have growing my business. Anecdotal of course but make no mistake, across the country the skills gap is <a data-mce-href="https://hbr.org/2014/08/employers-arent-just-whining-the-skills-gap-is-real" href="https://hbr.org/2014/08/employers-arent-just-whining-the-skills-gap-is-real" style="text-decoration: none;">very real</a>.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Paul Krugman, a liberal economist doesn't believe there is a skills gap. He once opined that the skill gap was in fact “<a data-mce-href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/31/opinion/krugman-jobs-and-skills-and-zombies.html?_r=2" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/31/opinion/krugman-jobs-and-skills-and-zombies.html?_r=2" style="text-decoration: none;">a prime example of a zombie idea</a> — an idea that should have been killed by evidence, but refuses to die”. Yes, the same Paul Krugman who blamed the weakest recovery in American history (apologist for Mr. Obama no doubt) because the government was forced to curb deficit spending. In Krugman's world, deficit spending = job creation. Without pointing out the obvious short-sidedness of this in any long term measurables, even at the zenith of optimism, in the short term… it’s a dead cat bounce at best.</span></div>

Inflation in this monetary system is like gravity in spacetime. You cannot travel faster than the speed of light to outrun gravity and you cannot escape the compound interest paradox regardless of how many Harvard degrees you accumulate on your wall.

<span style="background-color: white;">To his credit, Trump was the only candidate to continuously rail against NAFTA and TPP. While it’s true, the middle class has been chipped away at <a data-mce-href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2013/04/circling-drain-death-of-american-family.html" href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2013/04/circling-drain-death-of-american-family.html" style="text-decoration: none;">over the last four decades</a> with trade being a part of that decline; it’s not the biggest culprit. That decline was in effect long before the offshoring of jobs started taking a footing. The best way to sum up the decline of the middle class and the loss of jobs overseas is simply this: It's complicated. So much so that it’s layered with layers of many competing mitigating factors. To blame it on free trade above all else is irresponsible and just plain not true.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">We have seen entire sectors hollowed out while others boom. Sure, many Americans do feel left out and left behind in Middle America. And that, probably above all is what made Mr. Trump the 45th president. But that doesn’t make those people or he correct if they’re thinking to end free trade or raising tariffs will simply be the magic wand to make America great again. It might bring back some jobs but it will destroy just as much or more of existing jobs with existing families relying on them. Surely, It will make goods and services costs rise and that is no recipe to grow an economy.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Recently, Deborah Lockridge <a data-mce-href="http://www.truckinginfo.com/news/story/2016/12/fedex-ceo-warns-trump-attack-on-trade-could-be-catastrophic.aspx" href="http://www.truckinginfo.com/news/story/2016/12/fedex-ceo-warns-trump-attack-on-trade-could-be-catastrophic.aspx" style="text-decoration: none;">wrote a piece on free trade</a> and quoted FedEx Chairman and CEO Fred Smith. Smith speaking to the audience at the National Council on Competitiveness Forum in mid-December warned Trump by saying this:</span></div>

<div style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Does this mean raising tariffs is a bad idea? Not necessarily but raising prices on goods and services will cancel its gains out by raising prices. Government wins, consumers lose.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Bringing back blue collar jobs (manufacturing) is a noble cause and one that should be positive but how that is accomplished will be messy. In a matter of a decade, we saw manufacturing slip from 20% of GDP to 5%. But how many jobs can be saved from automation? It's not like we are living a Jetsons lifestyle just yet but automation is at some point will be the next scapegoat for the declining middle class as its only a matter of time where technology is improved and even more jobs will die off. However, while bringing back jobs that were let go offshore won't save the middle class it certainly couldn't be any worse than the previous administration's stance on offshoring jobs...</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Driving a truck, that doesn't seem that prominent does it? But that's just it. That's the problem with perception and conditioning. We've been conditioned to scoff at these types of jobs while they go unfilled while another college graduate goes underemployed or simply unemployed.</span></div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white;">We don't have a jobs problem here. We have a fortitude problem. So Trump, like many or most of his diatribes is tapping into a problem or sees the writing on the wall, except it's written in hieroglyphics and he only speaks in sign language. Thus, Trump isn't FIRED but he must do a better job of addressing the wage gap that already exists.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Now, may I please present to you juror #3. Mike Rowe. Yes, that Mike Rowe of the Dirty Jobs variety. He's doing his best to promote ending the skills gap with actually incentivising skilled work through his charity ProfoundlyDisconnected.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">There is now a <a data-mce-href="http://mikerowe.com/2016/02/stopignoringskillsgap/" href="http://mikerowe.com/2016/02/stopignoringskillsgap/" style="text-decoration: none;">5.6 million skills gap</a> from everything to plumbers to masons to heavy equipment operators and everywhere else in between. This is not just some random number from Mike Rowe either. He is quoting the Department of Labor. And training for these new careers won't add to the 1 trillion (and growing) dollar boondoggle that is the student debt bubble that ominously awaits an eruption like a fiat Mt St Helens.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So yes we do have a problem with the hollowing of the middle class. People left behind from the factory that disappeared are a reality but the problem isn’t just going to be cured by a company reopening its doors via tariffs, repatriating or from idle threats. Does that mean trading jobs for tax breaks should not still be pursued? Of course not. The corporate tax rate stifles business especially small business but in the meantime, let's take the easiest route possible. It's just a matter of perception and priorities. Mike Rowe gets it. He's traveled the country and understands quite well the reality versus perception that has sacked this nation's "can do" spirit.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 26px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If we define success and working nirvana by a four-year degree with a mountain of debt attached to it (thank you subsidies) then that gap only widens. But if we reverse this pussification and get real about OUR economy we will achieve the closest we've been to full employment as we've ever been.</span></div>

A little HT to one of the Big O's last actions as POTUS. Expelling 35 people to only have them reinstated a month from now by your successor? Seems like President Obama is a bit of a masochist doesnt it? Potentially some pure emasculation here. He just keeps setting these softballs on a tee for Trump. First Carrier now this? But i digress and also flitting enough because this is about electoral afterbirth.<br />
<br />
This election cycle was pure comedy gold. One one hand you had a flip flopping blowhard who gave zero's about what anyone thought of him. That was refreshing. On the other hand you had a steaming pile of bile. A posterchild for what exactly ails the country and a PC/liberal wet-dream personified. This was an entertaining shit show through and through. One of the more humorous narratives that came out of this muck was from the left and it went something like this:<br />
<br />
<br />
'Now we can finally see racists for who they truly are' <br />
<br />
'America was never "Great" for anyone not white'<br />
<br />
<br />
You've all heard this. And while it may be true and in some cases i think if anything it may have emboldened people to speak their minds good, bad or indifferent. Is America really more racist? Or are we actually having conversations that we haven't had the gumption for? The truth of the matter is this - those with the "America is more racist because of Trump" narrative might actually be an admission of guilt themselves. They might not realize it but their narrative is a manifestation of their own racist tendencies. Sort of like the macho dude in high school who calls everyone faggots and is always talking about someone sucking dick. Then you find him 20 yeas later congo dancing at a gay pride event wearing chaps and a leather vest with a ball gag in his mouth, i see you Donnie!<br />
<br />
If there was anything gleaned from this election it wasn't race or walls or wars. It was news. How its made. Whos it made for and does it even matter if its correct? Fake news is news and news is fake news. Whos fake and whos real just depends on what flavor you like in your cup of tea. Nowhere is this more comical than CNN. <br />
<br />
MSNBC and Fox cater to their audience. Its business. The news is isn't that important. Its not even a vehicle. Just look at the variation of ads on MSNBC and Fox. Its no different than watch a Penguins hockey game on ATT than it is watching the NBA Network. Race, class, gender, family its all been isolated bought and sold for its target market.<br />
<br />
If i was running CNN, i would look at the business model of cable news and realize we missed the boat. We created the genre but didn't realize that people weren't tuning in for just the news. What the majority of people were tuning in for was an echo chamber. Sure, they wanted the news but they wanted it prepacked ready for consumption. CNN has no direction. Many days they appear more liberal than the Huffington Post. Most days its a free for all - like a food fight at an old folks home. Messy, slow, sad and just plain embarrassing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Over the last few months here's some things that stood out watching the train-wreck that is CNN:<br />
<br />
<br />
Chris Matthews roast fellow liberal Rachel Maddow on Clintons inability to appear as a viable candidate. <br />
Van Jones refer to Trumps election as a "whitelash"<br />
Cancel Mike Rowe's show<br />
Still employe Erin Burnett and Fareed Zakaria<br />
And the never ending gift that is... Angela Rye<br />
<br />
<br />
I was sitting at a burger king a few days before Christmas (i know & not proud of it but i'm a fat boy who likes quick burgers) and I came across this nugget while consuming my 1100 calories and watching the audio-less aforementioned CNN. <br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"The Electoral College is problematic from its inception and something that was built upon and designed to oppress certain people,” Rye says. “It is okay for us to ask questions, particularly when we know the Electoral College was built upon a system to protect the interests of slave states.”“We would be remiss if we did not acknowledge that horrible history,”12.21.16</i></blockquote>
<br />
Just a few days before that she said something similar:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><br /><br />"I have every issue with the Electoral College, and I have since before this election. It does not speak for me. I am not supporting a system that was built on the backs of my ancestors who were slaves. I’m not here for it. … That guy is not my president.”</i></blockquote>
<br />
Then there was this very telling interview back from July of this year on CNN...<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><br />The fact that his campaign slogan could be, "Make America Great Again," and that pains me and people who look like me to no end. The fact that he could reference something like Operation Wetback in a debate where hundreds of our Mexican brothers and sisters were killed, slaughtered, and taken out of this country because someone didn't allow them to be here anymore is exactly the problem. The last time America was great to me, Fareed, was in 2008 when he was elected President, and ever since then, we've been paying the price for that.<br />I think, at some point, the issue is, we have to ID -- and by that, I just mean identify -- the fact that so much of this comes from the root of racism and what racism has done to every system in this country. That is what this country was built upon -- or I should say rebuilt upon because that's not how the indigenous people intended. But when white people got here, this was a system that was built upon the systematic oppression of people of color.</i></blockquote>
<br />
<br />
Where have we seen this before? A Liberal democrat not accepting the election results. Its 2000 all over again.<br />
<br />
She doesn't support a system that doesn't speak for her. Instead she would rather have the popular vote decide everything. The popular vote where you can concentrate on the East and West coast and win thus making everyone else nothing more than spectators. California and New York combined hold 60 million people OR roughly 20% of the population. This is the very reason we are Republic and not a Democracy. The minority thus still has a voice. If you live in Wyoming or Iowa your vote matters.<br />
<div>
<br />
This is a women who is for people of color. Her Mexican brothers and sisters in tow. She is against the system white people built when they came here. Sorry, she said we "rebuilt upon" because that's not what indigenous people intended their country to be rebuilt (as if said people had a country before said white arrival... yeah, they did not). Remember the root of racism has infected every system in this country according to Rye. So, of course it doesn't work for her. She, a minority that doesn't think protecting state sovereignty is relevant anymore. Her sheer ignorance here would normally be astounding if it wasn't so damn predictable and TIRED.<br />
<div>
<br />
What happens if she got what she wanted and we went to a direct democracy and the popular vote was all that mattered? What happens if white people started to vote like black people? Where 90% voted one way and that was Democrat/black? But now 90% Republican and White? Say for example in the areas that make up the very middle of the country you want to essentially disqualify from their right to vote? Then, the coasts dont matter. Now the fly over sates accumulate the power. I bet that electoral college wouldn't seem so bad then would it now?<br />
<br />
This isn't just some political commentator. This is a race hustling pimp who was executive director of the <a href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/search?q=black+caucus" target="_blank">Congressional Black Caucus</a>. You cannot possibly make this stuff up. This is a women who does not only have no respect for our system - she loathes it. But she <a href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2012/07/tired-or-tired-of-living-lie.html" target="_blank">dont mind the money</a> that it brings though now does she? Shes bitter and if you're white, in her eyes you're still the oppressor. In fact <a href="http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2016/11/22/republican-party-angela-rye-sot-at-this-hour.cnn">she called the Republican Party as much</a>. The Republican party is a lot of things and to me, not many are good... but oppression? Nonsense. But thats just it. This isn't about politics as much as it is about vengeance. Because, if we lose the electoral college and much of the middle lose their power to voice their opinions through national elections than there is really only one American alternative. Move to the coasts. Except you might not find such a warm greeting upon your arrival from the likes of this triggered race baiting, race hustling pimp known as Angela Rye.<br />

<br />
<br />
Thats right, good 'ol gentrification. This is a classic. This is simply a case of damned if you do and damned if you dont. But when you're entire career is built upon emotion and victimization its only a matter of time before the logic house of cards comes falling down. But hey, this is business too. Race bating crybabys bitching and moaning about "systematic oppression" that nobody suffers from today sells. White liberals eat it up more so than anyone. But everyone likes a good boogeyman. People would much rather have a scapegoat than a kick in the ass. So i get the whole angry black woman angle. Just dont expect me to take you too serious when youre attacking the very system that has been the beacon of light to the rest of the world. The West is indeed the best but im a capitalist too so #StayWoke</div>

Sometime between Christmas and New Years we all will have many conversations with many different types of people that make up our American families. Some you look forward to. Some pass the time. Some you cant escape and others always end up with someone rolling their eyes at the very same time looking for the nearest conversational exit. Fortunately my wives family is small and mine is somewhat splintered, so the people I do see - I happen to enjoy their company. I guess afterall divorce does have its perks.<br />
<br />
Of all the people i speak to, if there is one divide... its politics. From old Reagan democrats to Fox news conservatives to young bleeding hearts (read inexperienced and ill-informed) to tenured professors to a few (maybe 1-2 at most) like myself: libertarian leaning - conservative - ultra pro west - sarcastic pricks. By and large everyone is respectful but you know who's who and you know who's buttons are where and over time just how to push them.<br />
<br />
Now, after two paragraphs some of you were probably going to end up saying "why the need for the family history, say what you got to say and let me get back to my dungeons and dragons" because skimming through two paragraphs is taxing for the modern over stimulated mind. I get that. Hence why i took the time to preempt that. The setup matters. Your ability to relate to said setup will only further enhance your ability to process and retain the moral or crux of the story. So, for that you're welcome.<br />
<br />
Of all these different people the men i grew up riffing with the most also happen to be two people i probably admire the most (step father and maternal grandfather). They also happen to be quintessential Fox News Republicans. My step father will tell you he voted for a Libertarian once (John Anderson circa 1980) and my grandfather will tell you he does not care what gay men do. And although these things are probably true these two men are also anti-democrats. They hated Clinton as much as they laud Rush Limbaugh. They laugh and snicker at Al Gore (still) and loathe Obama but not because he was Black but because he was Blue. As in Democrat. These were men who worked in the same blue collar companies for 40+ years each. They're as honorable as they are honest. But sometimes they dont have time for facts. And facts Trump EVERYTHING.<br />
<br />
And that is my point.<br />
<br />
If we are going to have political opinions and make them a bedrock for or a reflection of our moral compass, well then we had better get them right.<br />
<br />
If you say in the middle of a conversion when we are verbally high fivin' over HER defeat last month "Obama doubled the National Debt in just 8 years" and i rebuttal that with a simple; "well yeah, but Bush did too, so what does that mean?". It means dont wave me off and walk away.<br />

<br />
It means ask me to cite it. As i offered to. Please, by all means, test me or anyone presenting you with facts that chip away at our culture. By that culture i mean a pro west conservative leaning culture. Do it here, amongst family and like minded people as opposed to out there with people that need to be countered. Many of those same people who are waiting for you to do the same so they can label you a Racist, Xenophobic, Islamophobic, Misogynistic, Transphobe, Genderphobe, a Phobephobe or a Phobephobeaphobian. And BOOM. Discussion ends and you've lost in the court of PC Public opinion. Being a conservative or a ProWesterian' does not absolve us from mistakes. The worst thing we can do is ignore those mistakes & pretend they dont exist and carry on a jaded self serving mantra of willful ignorance. That's not us. We're not liberals. We can be betterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.<br />

Where reality is stranger than fiction. Where a reality TV star is actually leading polls for the office for the President of the United States in September before an election year. I know we're circling the drain but evidently the puddle is shallower than I've casually perceived.<br />
<br />
So much has been made of Donald Trumps bombastic rhetoric that's short on execution and long on hyperbole. Anyone can talk. And this clown never stops.<br />
<br />
Of all the empty promises and hallow words there lies (pun most definitely applicable here) no bigger fugazy than his illegal immigration reform. <a href="https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/immigration-reform" target="_blank">His words here.</a><br />
<br />
Much has been made about Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates support for expanding the H-1b Visa Program. Trump thinks the program should be reduced and instead filled with "the number of black, Hispanic and female workers in
Silicon Valley who have been passed over in favor of the H-1B program". So, instead of allowing a corporation to hire whom they want based on the most qualified they must be forced to fill their positions from a dumb down American pool first. American company's forced to hire not the best man/women for the job but the most qualified man/woman <i><b>Americans</b></i> for the job. Small government and affirmative action don't jive.<br />
<br />
There is the E-Verify program Trump touts to screen legal employees. This program would cost small businesses 2.7 billion to comply according to Bloomberg. Not to mention, the killing of agriculture; as ending illegal immigration alone wont pick the corn. It still has to be done by people and who does it and how long does it take to get them? Crops don't wait for red tape. There is also the loss of tax revenue implementing this mandated system across the board. <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/magazine/a-verification-system-for-new-hires-backfires-10202011.html" target="_blank">According to Bloomberg</a>, this would be around 17 billion in lost revenue for the government. and more importantly there is this... E-Verify would become a defacto National ID system. How can this be the opinion of a small government minded individual? <br />
<br />
How in the world does he "impound remittances" of "illegals" ? Legal Americans of foreign decent send remittances as well. How does this work? Confiscating all and then sifting through the legal and illegal ones? Does anyone trust the government to handle this task efficiently ? Whats next, sorting through their mail too? And this is how this cat funds the Great Wall of Mexico? <br />
<br />
<br />
Then there is the numbers.<br />
<br />
Sites<a href="http://www.fairus.org/publications/the-fiscal-burden-of-illegal-immigration-on-united-states-taxpayers" target="_blank"> like this</a> advocate the illegals as a drain on the economy. One where illegals cost California alone 21 Billion in wasted tax dollars. <b>Now subtract that from the 130 Billion that Undocumented immigrants alone contribute to California's GDP</b> – a figure greater than the entire GDP of Nevada – or AT&T’s total revenues. Or, you could say 17 Billion more than all the states <b>COMBINED</b> deficit due to illegal immigration. <br />
<br />
What about <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/11/29/how-immigrants-will-save-social-security.html" target="_blank">Social Security</a>? What about the 1-Trillion illegals have contributed to that ponzi scheme that they wont even participate in? Talk about a screw job. Those wars in Iraq and Afghanistan you liked so much? Paid for by the sweat of wetback Mexican laborers. That 2010 Tax Credit from the Hope and Change savior? You rember that 34 dollars dont you? Paid for by fruit picking, lawn mowing Mexicants. Who helped pay for that balanced budget string you got in the 90's by Jizzy and Newt? You know it.<br />
<br />
Then there is this from the Right leaning American Action Forum on what taking the 11+ million illegal aliens out of the country and workforce would look like:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i>Take about 20 years and cost the government between $400 billion and $600 billion</i></li>
<li><i>Real GDP would drop by nearly $1.6 trillion and the policy would shave 5.7 percent off economic growth</i></li>
<li><i>Not inlcuding the cost of: constructing new courts, prisons, and other buildings that might be needed to process and detain millions of immigrants.</i></li>
</ul>
<br />
There is also tripling the border patrol. Again, not a small government position.<br />
<br />
Last but not least. Above the idiocy. Above the flip flopping. Above the total empty hot air this guy spouts out there is one fundamental flaw with his logic and it has nothing with him being a big government whore. Its life.<br />
<br />
We "Conservatives" will tell you a child is not a fetus. We will tell you the child shouldn't be punished for the mothers lack of morals. Funny how fast we flip the script when talking about illegal immigration. All of a sudden those babies don't hold the same value. Funny how politics can be used to promote morality and in the same breathe use politics to discredit the very morality that was justified originally when its doesn't fit an agenda. So instead of babies... they are anchor babies. As if that title denies them the very protection we so vehemently defend all unborn life with.<br />
<br />
So if you want to feel patriotic, light a firework, shoot a gun - sing the star
spangled banner with your dick in one hand and an American flag in
the other... but whatever you do, don't espouse to ideas that essentially
cut your nose off in spite of your face. Illegals aliens, undocumented
workers or whatever PC term we are using these days are a boon to this economy. It keeps costs down and that
provides a strapped middle class with much need savings. Its like having
a slice of China in a field near you.

Yesterday the Congressional/Senatorial Military Industrial Complex <a href="http://www.necn.com/05/06/13/Navy-intends-to-award-contract-for-10-de/landing.html?&apID=f5b8449c4c67472a9f1b781b2580a4cf" target="_blank">announced the plans</a> to add ten more ships to the Navy's fleet over the next four years to help keep fighting the good fight on behalf of the "global force for <i>good </i>". The DOD will commission someone to build these ships and is currently "vetting" the potential shipbuilders. The odds on favorite to "win the bid" is <span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_Body_lblArticleContent">Bath Iron Works out of Maine, a subsidiary of </span>General Dynamics. But I thought it was Mittens Romney that <a href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2012/03/romney-has-bazooka-in-his-front-pocket.html" target="_blank">was going to be the new savior </a>for the Navy and the Military Industrial Congressional Complex?<br />
<br />
General Dynamics, is one of the largest defense contractors in the world. This is the same General Dynamics that was <a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2013/03/31/187297/dod-inspector-general-finds-900.html#.UYgS3sprjfb" target="_blank">in the news about a month ago</a> for an "accounting glitch" involving 900 million dollars worth of Stryker replacement parts. This doesnt include the no-bid $1.5 billion Stryker maintenance contract the Army has with General Dynamics that has the Army over-spending by some 300+ million dollars.<br />
<br />
But, hey, welcome to the Iron Triangle.<br />

<a href="http://www.wcsh6.com/news/article/232179/314/Maines-two-US-Senators-visited-Bath-Iron-Works" target="_blank">This 2:27 minute local Bath, Maine news report</a>, back from February of this year, gives a great example of how the Iron Triangle works and it pertains to this topic. Here you have both Senators, a Republican (Susan Collins) and Independent (Angus King) from the state of Maine, "working hand in glove" to get congress to pass a new defense budget. Here you also have union leadership talking about preserving jobs, hoping for a new defense budget. You have the president of BIW, proclaiming: "if nothing changes, it could lead to more job layoffs in the years ahead". <br />
<br />
What you have here is organized labor and industry in unison with elected bureaucrats, all with one voice. That voice is clearly aimed at congress. Could it be because of the 5000+ jobs at stake in their districts/town? Or could it be all of them having their pockets lined with the billions at stake with the Department of Defense? General Dyanmics will surly profit from building ten new destroyers. Organized labor gets to keep their scalps. Last but not least, Susan Collins gets to keep her whore-master, General Dynamic, fat and happy, for ther investment into her campaign.<br />
<br />
Here is a little something about Susan Collins we should know first:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="Candidates"></a><a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/senate/susan_collins.htm" target="_blank">Voted NO on investigating contract awards in Iraq & Afghanistan. (Nov 2005) </a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Interesting? You would assume someone who is on both Senate committees of Appropriations and Armed Forces, would want some type of transparency into contract/rewards, wouldn't you? Now, here are <a href="http://influenceexplorer.com/politician/susan-collins/e6411dc48ad84bc9af5664222ab73c1d?cycle=2010" target="_blank">some of her earmarks...</a><br />

Maybe its just all a coincidence? Maybe a unicorn will ride in and butter my ass and feed my lollipops in a sea of poppies? One thing that stood out to me in that video was a statement by Angus King:<br />
<br />
<i>"Its embarrassing..... ah... that or government has put people in this position because of the inability of people to work together."</i><br />
<br />
Its embarrassing we have put a defense contractor in this position because the Iron Triangle's red tape isn't moving fast enough? Insert hilarious laughter here. I'm not pointing out anything that isn't obvious. Sure, we have corruption. We all know that but this isn't corruption as much as it is everyday business in the US of A. Where common sense and the statesmen has been assassinated and replaced by pimps with out of touch - bloated budgets (read Defense) who are running nothing more than a jobs program for the public while sanctioning nothing short of mercenary work to its soldiers. All the while the "elected" officials play the part of Mary Magdalan... nothing but a whore hiding behind an illusion.

Very well done. Just a damn good movie, all across the board. Before bed, I started the tedious task of organizing the accumulated bookmarks on my Firefox browser. I like to to do this at least a few times a month just to keep things from getting out of hand and overwhelming. Being it was from the comfort of my bed, I knew I could muster every last ounce of energy out of myself before it was vanquished by the sandman. When I woke up and as I sat down at the table, I immediately <a href="http://bigstory.ap.org/article/police-ga-infant-killed-while-pushed-stroller-0" target="_blank">came across this article.</a><br />
<br />
Being it was early, without my bearings yet or maybe it was the coffee that wasn't even 1/3 of the way into the brewing process, I was really caught off guard. It was from March 22nd. This article was about the murder of a 13-month old baby-boy form Georgia inside his stroller. <br />
<br />
<br />
De'Marquise Elkins, a 17-year old black male along with another minor accomplice attempted what was said to be a random robbery. Getting nothing from the woman, they shot her and then turned the .22 caliber pistol on and shot her baby in the face, as he lay sleeping in his stroller just a few blocks from their home. This was AFTER telling the woman beforehand that they were going to kill her son. <br />
<br />
Mr Elkins, with his "Thug Life" tattoo across his chest and a tear-drop tattooed in the corner of his eye (usually a gang symbol for a completed murder) awaits his fate in a jail cell in Georgia. The 13 month old, who never got to spoke his first words has no <i>luxury </i>of awaiting a trial. His parents, meanwhile, will live in some sort of a prison for the rest of their lives. His mother, second guessing what she could have done differently. Maybe if she only had some money? His father, what if he was there? What if he didn't go to work that day? <br />
<br />
So, as little Antonio Santiago rest in peace, where's the outcry been? Where is the Rainbow Push Coalition? Where is Jesse Jackson? A minority, a 13- month old boy gunned down in his stroller while he slept at point blank range by a couple of self-described "thugs" or at least those are the words one chose to brand his body with. Its been 42 days since the 21st of March. Not a peep.<br />
<br />
Could it be because he has a white mother? Or because he has a Spanish last name and a Latino for a father? If it was a black baby, it would be a crime that these guns are on the street. It would be the gun makers fault. Or the states fault for not having tougher gun laws, <a href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2012/12/jesse-jackson-at-his-best-spinning.html" target="_blank">I see you Chicago</a>!! Because I'm 100% sure a background check could keep a gun out of these kids hands. Oh wait, they didn't buy the gun? Well, pull me up a chair!<br />
<br />
Had this been reversed? And the thugs where white and the baby black? Well hell, you would have seen Jesse and Co do everything in their power to bring attention to <strike>the</strike>, his situation. The collective re-parting of the Red sea wouldn't be enough<br />
<br />
Forty-two days and crickets from the race hustling pimps that call themselves the "black leadership". I know I have had plenty to say about this racist pig, Jesse Jackson. Am I beating a dead horse with this issue of hypocrisy? You bet your ass I am. Until this liar is called out for what he is and dismissed from the public lexicon by the black community, he claims to represent; I'm going to keep on pointing out their double standard - PC- hogwash every chance I get.<br />
<br />
Jackie Robinson is a hero for all people but for black folks in particular and rightfully so. What he did was groundbreaking and uplifting. What Jesse Jackson does now is stale, contrived, racist and divisive. If we are to be asphyxiated by political correctness then its high time this man is stripped of his sub-prime fifteen- minutes and breathe the pillow himself.

As Bayern Munich plays the second leg of the semifinals of
Champions League tommorow (2:45 EST) at Barcelona, the match is much more than just two
storied franchises battling it our for European supremacy, at least to me
anyway. Because this game paints an ironic tale of two nations of complete
opposite fates. So much so, that the only commonality is found on the pitch.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Europe, as a whole is much more
socialist than we are here in the states, contrary to what the folks like Bill
O’Reilly or Sean Ins'anity might suggest otherwise. With that being said, the
degree of socialism in Europe is about as narrow as the O-Man’s
2,000 word healthcare bill that still to this remains unread. Germany
and Spain mark
the extremes of this as both are from opposite ends of the socialism spectrum. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sure, Germany
has its socialist state calling card with its "free" health care, its "free" schooling and higher taxes. There are
the laws in place where boards of directors have to contain labor
representation. There are also restrictions on what jobs can and can’t be outsourced.
Nobody is going to confuse Germany
with being <span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Anarcho-Capitalists, that is for certain. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Interestingly enough however, Germany is more US than it is European in terms of production. According
to the CIA World Factbook, </span><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Germany</span><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"> is the second highest
exporter in the world behind only </span><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">China</span><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">. This includes world renowned
brand names such as: BMW, Porsche, adidis, Volkswagen, Merck, Siemens, BASF,
Allianz, Deutsche, Bayer, Daimler and SAP just to name a few. </span></div>

Common sense would tell you that the greatest transfer in
wealth in our history doesn’t lie in some computer laden sweat shop in Nepal
or China. And no, its doesn't lie in these last three years among the rich nor is this an attempt to wage "class warfare". No, the greatest transfer of wealth has been a slow drip in the form of decades. It also
lies at the doorstep of every American. Because the greatest transfer of wealth
has been the systematic liquidation of the middle class. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you read this blog on a somewhat regular basis you know
this seems to be a repeated topic. Earlier this year, <a href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2013/01/stealing-is-legal-ask-those-that-got.html" target="_blank">we had the laugher</a> that
was the "fiscal" "cliff". More recently, <a href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2013/04/circling-drain-death-of-american-family.html" target="_blank">back on April 3<sup>rd</sup></a>, it was in
large part centered on the influx of women working and the struggle even with
two incomes to stay afloat in the middle class. As I pointed out then, as I do
now, even with two incomes, the middle class has shrunk for four consecutive
decades. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today I want to center on a broader topic and that is the
American public’s transition from a conservative saver- to a liberal
spender.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All across the US,
the transition has taken place and its starts out with even the youngest of
Americans. The piggy bank has been replaced by a cell phone and a data plan.
The savings bond has now become an X-Box. College savings account has been
earmarked as a vacation or a mortgage payment. Most people don’t want to live
on top of each other so they move out to the suburbs to escape the crime and
crumbling schools. Since both parents are working and commuting most need two
cars. And the beat goes on. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I left off one segment of the population when it comes to
consumption for a reason and that is the retired, older generation. Those that
grew up in and around the time of the great depression have an appreciation for
conservative economic principals if not on merit it was simply out of
necessity. They fought in the wars and were the foundation for not only the
middle class but were the trailblazers of the greatest economic expansion in
world history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why the disconnection between generations? Does the American
public deserve the blame for this? How many times have you heard people use
American’s obsession with consumption and “keeping up with the Joneses” as a
defense for the economic plight of the country? I’m not going to write this in
defense of American consumption. There is no question our habits are, in large
part, a component of this destruction, but how much? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
How much weight in this destruction of the middle class needs
to be laid at the feet of complicity and conditioning via the FED & its
bankers, its congress, lobbyists and otherwise big business interests? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There have always been rich and poor. There have always been
success and failure. This is the reality of what makes our system so
successful. This is what has made as the beacon of light to the world. Hard
work will always pay off. Save your money, be frugal and you too can walk the
path that leads you to the American dream. Somewhere along the way this path
was hijacked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The timing says it all. Ever since the early 70’s, America
has changed. We know that is when women started entering the workforce in
droves. This was also the same time of the “Nixon Shock” which ended Bretton
Woods. This, severing the dollar from gold, as we entered the<a href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2012/03/bling-is-bling-from-hood-ornaments-to.html" target="_blank"> fiat currency phase full force</a>. It was also the start of Americans shifting discretionary
income from savings to consumption. All of this coincided with the beginning of
the decline for the middle class. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here’s <a href="http://www.mindcontagion.org/banking/hb1941.html" target="_blank">an exchange back from 1941</a> that says its all.
Marriner Eccles was the Governor of the Federal Reserve System. He was giving
testimony before the House Committee on Banking and Currency, which was headed
by Congressman Wright Patman. Mr Patman was asking how the FED got the money to
buy bonds:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"Eccles: We created it.<br />
Patman: Out of what?<br />
Eccles: Out of the right to issue credit money.<br />
Patman: And there is nothing behind it, is there, except our government's
credit?<br />
Eccles: That is what our money system is. If there were no debts in our money
system, there wouldn't be any money."</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When someone or a government (under this system) goes into
debt, three elements are automatically triggered. The principal you borrowed of
course must be paid back. The interest rate you have to pay back for borrowing
the money and the inflation that comes with the newly created money (that is
debt) that eats away at the existing money supply. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have pointed out before what would happen if we ever
returned to the interest rates of the early late 70’s to early 80’s. We would
see our annual <a href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2012/03/hyperinflation-is-end-game-or-is-it.html" target="_blank">national debt interest payment be in the trillions</a>. Now, that
would be a real fiscal cliff. But that’s not going to happen, and because the interest
rates stay low, the money supply (debt) will continue to pile up. And since we
know the FED’s stance on inflation (helicopter and all) its only natural to
assume inflation will always eat away at our wallets. As time goes on it nips
at the heels, dragging those on the edge of the class into the class of the
dreaded “working poor”. Thus the decline in wealth for almost everyone despite
having two incomes is to be expected. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
It doesn’t take an economist to figure this out. </div>

<br /></div>

Now this is the part where the writer gives his opinion of
how to fix the problem he or she presents. That would be the perfect way to end
an article where you point out problems to close it with a solution... except I
don’t have a solution. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yesterday, I went to bankrate.com to check out the current
rates and here is what I found:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Money Market Accounts and Savings Accounts rates are below
one percent with most being under .70%. A six-month CD will fetch you anywhere
from .50-.88%. These are less than one-percent. You can’t even get a five-year
CD over 1.75% and that’s even including Jumbo CD’s (100k or more).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I said before the average American has to carry some blame
but how much blame can you lay on someone that is conditioned to spend while
being discouraged to save? How can the average American save for his children’s
college when the price of tuition has increased over 500% since 1985? </div>

What is the alternative, save anyway, right? Buy
gold & silver and I would agree (as I do the very same thing) but if
everyone did this deflation would come calling. It doesn’t matter if you or I like
it, the truth of the matter is - debt is money and money is debt, just like the
FED chairman said. Remember, a deflationary death spiral is much swifter than
an inflationary death spiral. That is not going to be allowed to happen. Gold suppression anyone? <a href="http://www.goldmoney.com/gold-research/alasdair-macleod/gold-price-suppression-the-game-goes-on.html" target="_blank">Hint: its happening right now. </a></div>

As you can see and surly already know, it doesn’t pay to save conventional routes

The only alternative is to funnel your money into Wall Street and spend, spend and spend some more. Any instruments that can yield you a
decent return in a savings or investment all lead to Wall Street. Where did
those gains made over the last two years occur? This isn’t about class warfare
or the 99% or in this case the ninety-three percent; this is about the choice
to be frugal and fiscally conservative like those before us that built this
country and how that choice simply doesn’t exist. That choice has been robbed by banksters and it would be hysterically ironic if it wasn't so sad. So spend and slave on, the world economy is counting on you. </div>

I would like to present them to you. First my message:<br />
<br />
Everyone should demand clean air, soil and water. Do what you can do to make yours this way and respect your neighbors right to the very same. Businesses should also follow this simple premise. Taxing them into oblivion doesnt work because we know that taxes, in the end, just get passed down to the consumers in the form of higher costs. We need to start taking individual responsibility seriously. At every level. The environment would be clean as a whistle if this was the case. However, do what you can do first before you worry about someone else, our bees and trees depend on it. Let me borrow a quote from Ross Perot of all people.<br />

<b><span class="bqQuoteLink">Lyrics from TooL's first full length album 1993's: Undertow - </span>Disgustipated</b><br />
<br />
And the angel of the lord came unto me, snatching me up from my place of slumber. <br />
And took me on high, and higher still until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself. <br />
And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. <br />
And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. <br />
One thousand, nay a million voices full of fear. <br />
And terror possesed me then. <br />
And I begged, <br />
"Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" <br />
And the angel said unto me, <br />
"These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! <br />
You see, Reverend Maynard, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." <br />
And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, <br />
"Hear me now, I have seen the light! <br />
They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! <br />
Damn you! <br />
Let the rabbits wear glasses! <br />
Save our brothers!" <br />
Can I get an amen? <br />
Can I get a hallelujah? <br />
Thank you Jesus. <br />

is part of US-Jordanian military cooperation to boost the Jordanian
armed forces in light of the deteriorating situation in Syria,"<br />
<br />
Mr Hagel on the other hand was a bit more in-depth with his comments to Congress on Wednesday<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/04/hagel-dempsey-warn-of-involvement-in-syria/" target="_blank"> in this report </a>by ABC's Luis Martinez:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>“We have an obligation and responsibility to think through the
consequences of direct U.S. military action in Syria,”</i> said Hagel. He
added that <i>“military intervention at this point could hinder
humanitarian relief operations. It could embroil the United States in a
significant, lengthy, and uncertain military commitment.”</i><br />
<br />
More importantly he warned that it could have <i>“the unintended
consequence of bringing the United States into a broader regional
conflict or proxy war. ”</i> He stressed that <i>“the best outcome for Syria –
and the region – is a negotiated, political transition to a post-Assad
Syria.”</i><br />
<br />
He later used blunter language in describing how all factors should
be weighed in considering a U.S. military option in Syria.<i> “You better
be damn sure, as sure as you can be, before you get into something,
because once you’re into it, there isn’t any backing out, whether it’s a
no-fly zone, safe zone, protect these — whatever it is. Once you’re in,
you can’t unwind it. You can’t just say, well, it’s not going as well
as I thought it would go, so we’re going to get out."</i></blockquote>
<br />
Lets put Hagel's own words into action. Its obvious the Department of Defense is "damn sure" of what they are getting into or why go into details of it? Its also obvious the DOD is contemplating military intervention that will not only hinder humanitarian efforts but at the same time, could result in <i>"significant, lengthy, and uncertain military commitment."</i> The best alternative to negate this? A negotiated political transition with Syria? Does this photo-op on Syrians Independence day on April, 17th (how ironic) look like a regime that wants to hand over or "transition power"? <br />

So, when these boots hit the ground, what will be the mission? To hold the hand of Jordan to control humanitarian efforts? Isn't this a job that is earmarked for the international community as a whole? I would assume the UN or Red Cross would be more than capable of handling this. But alas, the US is taking this bull by the horns. </div>

<i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span>“since a major job for these troops will be

We want the Syrian regime to concede control. If not we are setting the stages for some type of invasion. In the meantime we will continue to indirectly back the uprising which consists of a variety of players including militants from <span id="articleText">al Qaeda and </span>the <span id="articleText"><span class="focusParagraph">al-Nusra Front, both of whom are on the US terror list. Does this sound familiar? Didn't Hollywood of all places,<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHl-6uH8MUQ" target="_blank"> recently make a movie</a> about this type of thing starring Tom Hanks called 'Charlie Wilson's War'? </span></span></div>

And to make matters worse, this is no longer just a mixed bag, a hodgepodge if you will, of revolutionaries. These rebels, according to Assad (in the very same article in the Jerusalem Post) these are:<i> "mainly" "extremist forces"</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Last week Nusra Front<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/10/us-syria-crisis-qaeda-idUSBRE9390DC20130410" target="_blank"> released this audio statement</a> pledging allegiance to al Qaeda:</div>

Now, there seems to be a coalition forming of Islamic extremists in Syria, with many of these extremists part of the group that was driven out of Al Anbar Province in 2007 by US forces and local tribes because of their <span id="articleText">alleged "extreme interpretation of Islam". Anbar, located on the borders of both Syria and Jordan provide an eerie backdrop to this story, and by story, I mean another movie that comes to mind; 'Groundhogs day'. </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And whats even more eerie about this connection is we are just five days removed from the affects of terrorism playing out in our very own streets. Yet here we are, putting boots on the ground on the border of a civil war, where we are backing terrorist outfits. THE SAME terrorist outfits we have sworn to defeat in our never ending 'War on Terror'. </div>

<a href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2012/02/iran-nuclear-threat-or-dollar-threat.html" target="_blank">I understand the pecking order here.</a> I understand Syria is an easy target, isolated in the middle east outside of Iran. I understand its easier to overthrow a rag tag group of terrorists than it is a nation with armies and chemical weapons (unless your Iraq and you have none of either despite the world saying otherwise). What I dont understand is two fold. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First, I don't understand, how surprised we are here in the states when terrorists decide to strike here. I mean if you sleep with a porcupine, can you really be surprised about getting pricked? This <a href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2012/03/romney-has-bazooka-in-his-front-pocket.html" target="_blank">'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'</a> approach needs to be better to the general public.

Lastly, if the Nobel Peace Prize was a prize awarded to promoting peace, would it not be out of the question for the committee who awards said prize to demand its prize back for some type of breach? Or does this make the Nobel, nothing more than a participation award, like a 1980s/90's book it pin, which promoted kids reading. Or, is this just a natural development? Someone receives a peace prize who has never done anything to promote peace in the first place, then all of sudden becomes a war hawk is not that surprising. </div>

Either way, Mr Obama, your legacy might be healthcare "reform" to many but others it will be simply contradiction. Whether i agree with what you ran on or not is not my point, my point is you haven't made good on many of the important issues you yourself highlighted in '08. You've <a href="http://fileintothetrough.blogspot.com/2012/01/normal-0-microsoftinternetexplorer4.html" target="_blank">been a whore for big business </a>and you have failed miserably on bringing peace and instead have expanded the previous administrations warring. Back in a debate in <a href="http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/barack_obama_war_+_peace.htm" target="_blank">2008 you said: </a><i>"one important thing is that we not get mission creep". </i></div>

Apparently, when you are not running for office, "important things" go out the window. And oh yea, Liberal-peace loving "democrats" (as if there is a difference between parties) you can take off that peace sign bumper sticker, along with your "coexist" magnet and shove 'em up your asses. Hopefully, that will lead to your heads being forced to come crawling out of it. <i><br /></i></div>
