I don't need an editor
by Ryan Carboni 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

I don't need an editor, particularly one who thinks two things are equivalent only in a smirking sense. I doubt this is a situation one should implicitly trust the law at its word. There have been supreme court cases on who can make final decisions on publication, but those don't apply because they are inconvenient and don't deal with exactly the same matter.

Given that most if not all conspiracy theories come from the US government to make other groups look bad or confuse the situation, it becomes very easy to eschew responsibility in everything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Contra_affair Canham-Clyne argued that for the "national security state", the law was an obstacle to be surmounted rather than something to uphold and that the Iran–Contra affair was just "business as usual", something he asserted that the media missed by focusing on the NSC having "gone operational."

Clean Coal?
by Ryan Carboni 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_Species_Program What is the energy return on investment when extreme weather events double, wells become brackish, the Great Plains becomes the American Sahara, etc.... But there are think tanks thinking about what to do afterward, nothing about prevention. Well it doesn't matter, for some reason Iran released their hostages when Reagan inaugurated, and then the US sold Iran anti air missiles which weigh half a tonne each. Whatever is going on is never going to make sense, beyond a massive case of procrastination.

Emma survives The Hazing - academia - [PEACE]
by Zigger the N.gger 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

I'm not sure what a degree in political science is, but it sounds better (in this day of inspiring public political debate) than a degree in liberal arts. Emma even posts a cheery picture of herself on graduation day, and clearly articulates a few non-snowflakey facts. I've Had Professors Who Educate, And Ones Who Indoctrinate. Here's What I Learned From Both... https://www.zerohedge.com/political/ive-had-professors-who-educate-and-ones… https://www.thecollegefix.com/ive-had-professors-who-educate-and-ones-who-i… ... The professors who tried to silence me taught me the importance of standing up for myself and for those who are voiceless in the face of unreason and unkindness. The professors who challenged my beliefs and encouraged me to work on articulating them in order to build a stronger argument gave me the tools I need to succeed in the decades to come. Like me, conservative students who have fought bias throughout their education can step into the real world having already faced adversity by surviving a campus where about 80 percent of your peers and nearly 100 percent of your professors disagree with your political views. While it is disappointing and disheartening that the once-great university system in America is so blatantly biased, and discourages differing viewpoints of students, there is hope in the strong level-headed and determined conservative students who are being shaped by this academic hazing into the future conservative leaders of America. -------- Under the powers that be, whitey is kept fighting whitey. With the Western neo Roman empire collapsing under it's fiat debt enslavement reaching "chaos fruition", war is a primary "out" for whitey against whitey in the great game of competition. Fortunately for the world, over the last 20 years modern Russia under Putin has, on a relative shoestring budget, resoundingly eclipsed the entire West (primarily USA and NATO), with (according to US brass) "eye watering" capabilities today, from mach 27 (holy shirt batman!) nuke tipped ICBMS, to mach 10, Mig 31 mounted (and also optionally nuke tipped) Kinzhals, the "mega tsunami" sub launched nukes, and plenty more besides, the Russian bear has a relative abundance of claws. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/escobar-you-say-you-want-russian-rev… ... Martyanov could not escape addressing the RAND Corporation, whose reason to exist is to relentlessly push for more money for the Pentagon – blaming Russia for “hybrid war” (an American invention) even as it moans about the U.S.’s incapacity of defeating Russia in each and every war game. RAND’s war games pitting the U.S. and allies against Russia and China invariably ended in a “catastrophe” for the “finest fighting force in the world.” https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/defense-disaster-russia-and-china-ar… ... The bear's claws are a very, very good thing. This little ole world we share, owes a collective debt of gratitude to Putin and our slavic Russkie bros. The forever bracketted legacy stream media, Federal reserve bank and corporate oligarchs, would be signing a multi century, perhaps multi millenia, death warrant for the planet, were they to launch World War 3 - and all just because of a few (hundreds of trillions of) fiats which have devalued! In the face of the agreement-incapable dying West, the flailing dragon of silliness called "fiat debt", and the historically evidenced nature of humans (WWI and WWII most recently), Russia is absolutely establishing an international stability which would be impossible without her: Russia’s Top General Warns World War 3 Is Coming in Chilling Prediction https://russia-insider.com/en/russias-top-general-warns-world-war-3-coming-… and is right to ongoingly prepare herself: Russia's 'Youth Army' Grows Rapidly, Approaches 600K Children Nationwide https://russia-insider.com/en/russias-youth-army-grows-rapidly-approaches-6… ... It is not the first time that the local school is engaged in Yunarmiya activities.

Officially, the age limit for enrollment in the movement is 11-17. However, also far younger children are involved in movement activities. Why train your children to handle rifles at 11, when you can start them much younger? Whitey is kept fighting whitey.

Putin's illusions about the West - [PEACE]
by Zigger the N.gger 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

Thankfully, Putin and by implication Russia, have few illusions about the nature of the Western cabal. As Poland attempts to pin the entire beginning of WWII on Russia (seriously! - alleging the 23 Aug 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact), Putin, ever patient as he is the face of the alternative to endless diplomacy with agreement-incapable Western idiots, reminds the world (amongst other things) of the 1938 Munich Agreement. Putin: “Let them read historical documents so that they can see that the Munich Agreement was signed in 1938: the leaders of key European countries – France and the United Kingdom – signed an agreement with Hitler to divide Czechoslovakia.” I would add, let them look in the hypocrisy mirror of NATO's destruction of Yugoslavia. Da West got some chickens comin home...

Nothing against progressivism per se, but be extraordinarily careful with throwing out the baby with the bathwater, and avoid cliche ignorance tropes like ignoring the "constitutional" Federal Reserve Bank - hint: it's not.

Re: Best Ayn Rand Quotes
by Ryan Carboni 02 Jan '20

02 Jan '20

Ayn Rand was the most dangerous thing to ever come out of the Soviet Union. If her ideas were to be adopted, this country would collapse within less than five years. Heinlein was better: "Morals — all correct moral laws — derive from the instinct to survive. Moral behavior is survival behavior above the individual level." vs... whatever Rand meant by this: "The army of a free country has a great responsibility: the right to use force, but not as an instrument of compulsion and brute conquest — as the armies of other countries have done in their histories — only as an instrument of a free nation's self-defense, which means: the defense of a man's individual rights. The principle of using force only in retaliation against those who initiate its use, is the principle of subordinating might to right. The highest integrity and sense of honor are required for such a task. No other army in the world has achieved it. You have. "
