The US government lacks legitimacy and credibility
by Ryan Carboni 27 Jun '19

27 Jun '19

No doubt as I post this, someone reading it will think "I know this, I took a class on it" The US government is illegitimate, uncredible, and irrelevant. Hopefully the members of the US government will become like the Stuart legitimatists, increasingly a bunch of old men in social clubs pining for some sort of different era.

Unsustainable Hypernormalization
by Ryan Carboni 27 Jun '19

27 Jun '19

If any government official who actually knows anything would try to explain away the MLK letter or even what is going on with Donald Trump, they would begin to indict themselves. "You see, we didn't have as many contacts with opposition research members before..." Increasingly few government officials actually understand what is going on, and the people who do won't try to inform them. Can someone like John Schindler actually explain themselves, why the United States can not function at least on an open basis? The quote "this evidence of non-corrupt motives weighs heavily" is as good as any. The US government openly lies, and refuses to sufficiently explain anything. How can you disprove a lie? If the government cannot lie, it will find proxies to slander on their behalf. And if you disprove the lie, the government will find some reason to avoid further discussion. I do question why anyone would be employed by the US government, or at least the seedier departments. What do they say, most people don't understand Iran-Contra like we do, topics the public is prone to outrage over is not up to them, because this is how a neoliberal democracy works? George Washington said factionalism invites foreign meddling. So in order to remove the product of foreign meddling, the US government is engaging in factionalism. Most congressmen anyway are up for auction, neocolonialism is just third world nations bidding to be colonized. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Was the MLK letter right to be sent?

https://20committee.com/2019/06/01/why-j-edgar-hoover-was-right-to-spy-on-m… Which reminds me of a part in Pat Buchanan's "Nixon;s White House Wars", where allegedly the FBI was going around trying to get journalists to publish based on some information that wouldn't hold up in a defamation case. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5048849/FBI-report-claims-MLK-nigh… >FBI report in new JFK release claims Martin Luther King Jr had 'all-night sex orgy' at workshop for church ministers, was the father of a secret love child and had affairs with three women including singer Joan Baez https://www.sacbee.com/news/nation-world/national/article182651026.html “As early as January, 1964, King engaged in another, two-day drunken sex orgy in Washington, D.C. Many of those present engaged in sexual acts, natural as well as unnatural, for the entertainment of onlookers. When one of the females shied away from engaging in an unnatural act, King ... discussed how she was to be taught and initiated in this respect,” the document reads. It is worth noting that recently, live on television, there was a woman who claimed to have been raped by Trump, who... decided to salivate at the concept of rape in general. It is very difficult to point out anything, but I suspect Martin Luther King had initial difficulty finding people to join his orgies given the upright moral character of so many people in his circles. The NXIVM cult is interesting by virtue of how it should be impossible for it to be kept secret. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

The Ongoing Restructuring Of The Greater Middle East - [PEACE] [&] [COMEDY]

Enjoy the lighter side of Zerowedgie ;) The Ongoing Restructuring Of The Greater Middle East https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-25/ongoing-restructuring-greater-mid… Authored (satirically) by CJ Hopkins via Off-Guardian.org https://off-guardian.org/2019/06/25/the-ongoing-restructuring-of-the-greate… So, according to the corporate media, and to President Literally Hitler, himself, while America was sleeping last Friday morning, the U.S. Air Force was just minutes away from bombing the bejesus out of some desolate outposts somewhere in the Iranian desert and launching another catastrophic military blunder in the Middle East. At approximately 0400 Zulu time, President Hitler and his top advisors (among them, John “the Walrus of Death” Bolton) were gathered in the Pentagon’s War Room, flight paths arcing across the big board. The hotline to Vladimir Putin’s office in St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow had been activated. The full force of the U.S. military was about to be brought to bear upon a package of top-level Iranian targets with no strategic value whatsoever. Apparently, “planes were in the air!” It was all so terribly, terribly exciting. This awesome demonstration of American resolve was meant to be punishment for the vicious slaughter of an expensive U.S. military drone, which was peacefully invading Iranian airspace, and not at all attempting to provoke the Iranians into blowing it out of the sky with a missile so the U.S. military could “retaliate.” [Map showing the 40 military bases the US has been compelled to position around Iran to combat Iranian aggression.] The military-industrial complex would never dream of doing anything like that, not even to further the destabilization and restructuring of the Greater Middle East that they’ve been systematically carrying out the since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, which … more on that in just a moment. ...

Human evolution was a failure
by Ryan Carboni 26 Jun '19

Human evolution was a failure. Comprehension based on cause and effect led to early tools. That was quickly superseded by social obedience. Eventually that is replaced by massive pathological institutional lying and a lack of interest in making things simpler because that might be one's job would be economized away.

Stunned Anderson Cooper Cuts CNN Interview After Trump Accuser Calls Rape "Sexy" https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-24/stunned-anderson-cooper-cuts-cnn-… Less than 48 hours after columnist (and soon to be book author) E. Jean Carroll accused (in a New York Magazine article) Donald Trump of raping her in a dressing room in high-end department store, Bergdorf Goodman, in the 1990's, CNN had gleefully invited the accuser on to discuss the details of this horrific act from her past. Things did not go according to plan for CNN... and we suspect for Ms. Carroll's book sales. While President Trump has vehemently denied the rape took place, a sensitive Anderson Cooper welcomed the woman on to his CNN show... then things went 'full awkward'. Cooper asked Carroll, "you don't feel like a victim?" after she suggested that was the case, and things went downhill fast. The seemingly unstable Carroll replied, "I was not flung to the floor." Cooper retorted, "I think most people think of rape as a violent assault..." To which Carrol replied, stunning the CNN anchor, "I think most people think of rape as being sexy..." Cooper stuttered, stumbled, and quickly cut the interview straight to a commercial break, but not before Carroll could add "...think of the fantasies." Perhaps next time, CNN will vet the mental health of their Trump-bashing guests a little better? Are we still supposed to believe every accuser or did Carroll just crush the credibility of the last two years of #MeToo-ism accusations in one 30-second breakdown?

verboten: “Nazi ideology placed great importance upon qualities such as courage, endurance, resourcefulness and strength of character, as well as upon comradeship.” - [PEACE]

Very interdasting ... German WW2 Soldiers Were the Best, Outfighting by Far Their English, US, Russian Foes https://russia-insider.com/en/german-ww2-soldiers-were-best-outfighting-far… http://www.ihr.org/other/bestsoldiers The German soldiers of World War II have often been portrayed, both during the war and in the decades since, as simple-minded, unimaginative and brutish. Hollywood movies and popular U.S. television shows have for years contrasted confident, able and “cool” American GIs with slow-witted, cynical and cruel Germans. … Like so much else that the public has been told about the Second World War, this demeaning image bore little relation to reality. As specialists of military history who have looked into the matter agree, the men of Germany’s armed forces -- the Wehrmacht -- performed with unmatched ability and resourcefulness throughout the nearly six years of conflict. Trevor N. Dupuy Trevor N. Dupuy, a noted American military analyst, US Army Colonel, and author of numerous books and articles, studied the comparative performance of the soldiers of World War II. On average, he concluded, 100 German soldiers were the equivalent of 120 American, British or French soldiers, or 200 Soviet soldiers. “On a man for man basis,” Dupuy wrote, “German ground soldiers consistently inflicted casualties at about a 50 percent higher rate than they incurred from the opposing British and American troops under all circumstances [emphasis in original]. This was true when they were attacking and when they were defending, when they had a local numerical superiority and when, as was usually the case, they were outnumbered, when they had air superiority and when they did not, when they won and when they lost.” / 3 Other respected military historians, such as Martin van Creveld and John Keegan, have made comparable assessments. Max Boot draws a similar conclusion in his detailed book, War Made New. “Man for man,” writes this influential author and military historian, “the Wehrmacht was probably the most formidable fighting force in the world until at least 1943, if not later. German soldiers were even known for showing more initiative than the soldiers of democratic France, Britain, and the United States. / 4 Another scholar who has written about this is Ben H. Shepherd, an author of several books who teaches history at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland. In a recent detailed work, Hitler’s Soldiers: The German Army in the Third Reich, he dismantles the image of “zombie-like obedience popularly ascribed to the German military.” In fact, the Wehrmacht “stressed qualities such as flexibility, daring and independent thinking,” and “Nazi ideology placed great importance upon qualities such as courage, endurance, resourcefulness and strength of character, as well as upon comradeship.” He also takes note of “the stress that the German army placed on superior organization. At all levels, the German army was more effectively organized than all the opposing armies it faced ...” / 5 Looking at the 1940 campaign in France, Shepherd writes: “... It was the Germans’ own strength that enabled them to triumph so spectacularly. Among other things, they profited from an imaginative and daring operational plan. But if one single, overall reason for the German army’s triumph in the west can be pinpointed, it is that its doctrinal approach to tactics and operations far outclassed that of its opponents. At all levels, it possessed qualities of daring and adaptability, and a capacity to react to the rapidly changing battlefield situation ... The qualities of the German soldier, and the ability of commanders at all levels to think and act independently and effectively, were indeed key to German victory ...” / 6 Even after the tide of war had turned, he writes, German troops fought well. “The army sustained its initial success thanks to high levels of training, cohesion and morale among its troops, and thanks also to excellent coordination with the Luftwaffe [air force] ... Much has been made of the German soldier’s qualitative superiority in the [June-July 1944] Normandy campaign, and there is indeed much to be said in this. One especially exhaustive study of the [German] Westheer in Normandy concludes that, all other things being equal, a hundred Germans soldiers would have made an even fight against 150 Allied soldiers.” / 7 “As a result of all this,” says Shepherd, “German army units exhibited great staying power in defense [that is, especially during the final year of the war]. They also exhibited great resourcefulness and flexibility ... From 1943 onwards, the German army executed a fighting retreat of unparalleled tenacity, against an increasingly formidable Red Army in the east, and a Western Allied coalition powered increasingly by the economic and military might of the United Sates.” / 8 ...
