Taboo?

Why can’t the media tell the truth about the killings in America?

2 Steps from war…

That’s a country that’s always been on the edge, I don’t care what anyone says, and I believe Ice T once said it, “the right to bear arms was the last defence against tyranny, to protect yourself against the police”.

Funny thing is, I think the UK is lining it’s self up along similar lines…

Euroburp

Now don’t get me wrong, I was a supporter of Euroburp until the banking crisis hit…

Funny?

It’s funny how the the largest federal authority, (by population), of those affected by the crisis was not willing to take ANY action against the perpetrators, (banks).

  • They were not willing to instigate any large scale investigations.
  • They weren’t willing to instigate CRIMINAL investigations.
  • They were not willing to prosecute in the name of breached EU regulations.

Rules, what rules?

Where rules are broken, it’s punishment follows…

That’s what rules are all about right?

Well here’s another set of rules….

“I am like God, and God like me. I am as large as God, He is as small as I. He cannot above me, nor I beneath Him be.” Silesius, 17th Century.

Which basically means, each man is onto god.

Especially true in the US, where they are much more religious.

Also, as racial tension goes, they’ve had a civil war on the pretext of racial discrimination. Some say, they have never got over it.

Europe is not the same.

 

Lifting the lid on Washington Politics

Self serving, self interested, self absorbed.

That’s how we should view the American public, just a bunch of sheep in search of instant gratification.

That’s how the politicians see it, and we all know it’s true…. to a certain extent.

This book threatens to lift the lid on American democracy and what it’s become.

It’s released by self publishing house Mill City Press, Minnesota.

VOD: Turkish Parliament Brawl

First the Japanese were at it, now it’s Turkey.

In the seat of power, where dialogue and reasoned argument are king, we have this video of a fist-fight.

Turkey gets stirred up

According to the article, there had been one the previous week concerning the draft of the European Union refugees bill.

If that stirred the Turks up, than this has done more.

Apparently, the Turks are attempting to draft in some draconian laws at present, similar to an autocracy with Erdogan as it’s head.

If that happens, the Kurds within the country have openly said that they will join the opposing side in overthrowing the government and seeking autonomy for themselves.

I suspect this is starting to play itself out in the Turkish houses of parliament.

Trump: The face of US Authoritarianism

Make America great againIn the 1990’s, a political scientist named Stanley Feldman developed a set of four very simple questions to related to parenting to test the level of authoritarianism.

  1. Please tell me which one you think is more important for a child to have: independence or respect for elders?
  2. Please tell me which one you think is more important for a child to have: obedience or self-reliance?
  3. Please tell me which one you think is more important for a child to have: to be considerate or to be well-behaved?
  4. Please tell me which one you think is more important for a child to have: curiosity or good manners?

The success of the test in pin-pointing inherent beliefs indicative of an authoritarian character trait was enough to mark an industry standard.

These tests and similar have been carried out on voters in the United States, with some interesting results.

If not unsurprising, it does quantify what some have been saying all along.

Here is the evidence. Taken from vox media

 

The rise of American authoritarianism

A niche group of political scientists may have uncovered what’s driving Donald Trump’s ascent. What they found has implications that go well beyond 2016.

by Amanda Taub on March 1, 2016

The American media, over the past year, has been trying to work out something of a mystery: Why is the Republican electorate supporting a far-right, orange-toned populist with no real political experience, who espouses extreme and often bizarre views? How has Donald Trump, seemingly out of nowhere, suddenly become so popular?

What’s made Trump’s rise even more puzzling is that his support seems to cross demographic lines — education, income, age, even religiosity — that usually demarcate candidates. And whereas most Republican candidates might draw strong support from just one segment of the party base, such as Southern evangelicals or coastal moderates, Trump currently does surprisingly well from the Gulf Coast of Florida to the towns of upstate New York, and he won a resounding victory in the Nevada caucuses.

About Donald Trump

About Donald Trump

Anyone that swears fealty to the dollar and people claim is not part of the establishment.

This is a con.

The dollar IS the establishment in the US.

Jimstone.is – Please get a grip conspiracy nuts who are touting this candidate as somehow ‘separate’ from the ruling powers.

For example.

He’s not an innovator.

Donald Trump has created nothing new or unique. He’s speculated using his fathers capital, and been rubbing shoulders with the rich and privileged in the US from a very early age.

It’s been a hard working American that’s done it… Continue reading “About Donald Trump”
