More than 125,000 Russian soldiers are now stationed on Ukraine’s doorstep. Another 15,000 Russian separatists are waiting to join their ranks, just over the border in Donetsk and Luhansk.
Tanks and other heavy armor, which are relatively slow to deploy, are in place. Missiles have been brought by train from Siberia, 4,000 miles away.
The probability of a massive armed conflict engulfing Ukraine, and possibly large parts of Europe, has never been this high since the fall of the Soviet Union.
And while the USSR may be long gone, Putin’s imperialist ambitions to rebuild what Ronald Reagan referred to as the “Evil Empire” are starting to show very real and dire consequences for Europe.
At the same time, the U.S. finds itself in the grips of a second Cold War.
And in this one, the Russians have hypersonic nuclear missiles capable of avoiding missile defenses and hitting their intended targets from thousands of miles away while flying at many times the speed of sound.
Putin, who is Russia’s absolute ruler by every measure, strongly believes that “the demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century.” Yes, he actually said that.
And it’s a catastrophe that he’s been trying to fix ever since he was elected President over two decades ago.
In this article, I’m going to explore the roots of the Russo-Ukrainian crisis we are witnessing, the likelihood of war, how and when it could start, and, most importantly, how this conflict would alter the delicate balance of power on a global scale, threatening not only Europe but also the U.S.
A New Cold War
Over the third weekend of January 2022, Russia and its close ally Belarus hastily announced joint military exercises for early February, and by the 17th of January, Russian troops began pouring into the former Soviet republic. The decision to hold military drills in Belarus seems to be just more saber-rattling at first glance.
However, all you have to do is look at modern Russian military history to know that this is very likely to be the single most decisive step in the preparation for an all-out war with Ukraine.
Today’s crisis has been over a decade in the making, and current circumstances feel eerily reminiscent of what happened back in 2008, in Georgia.
It was called the August War, and although it only lasted for 12 days, historians may come to regard it as the starting point of a new Cold War with Russia. In the early hours of August 8, 2008, as President Vladimir Putin was attending the opening ceremony of yet another Beijing Olympics, the well-oiled Russian war machine swung into action.
A Russian tank column advanced through the Roki tunnel into Georgia while Russian warplanes dropped their deadly payloads on fortified positions of the unsuspecting Georgian military.
Just six days prior, the colossal Kavkaz-2008 military exercise had drawn to a close.
The drill simulated a Russian military operation in a fictitious former Soviet republic, in which they would defend Russian peacekeepers and citizens.

Does that sound familiar?
If it does, that’s probably because it is this exact “casus belli” (reason to declare war) that Russia invoked when it attacked Georgia.
After the Kavkaz exercise ended, the participating soldiers did not return to their barracks.
Instead, they remained stationed on the Georgian frontier and, a few days later, orchestrated the real invasion.
Georgia, a former Soviet vassal, lost two of its territories. The Kremlin signed agreements with the de facto civilian administrations of both territories to integrate them militarily and economically into Russia.
This invasion, which went largely unnoticed by the international community, marked the start of Europe’s first twenty-first century war.
But most importantly, it was Putin’s green light for restoring Russia to its former glory.
He saw that he could start a war and annex new territories without something really bad happening as a result. In the end, the U.S. and European responses were limited to minor and largely symbolic actions.
Annexation of Crimea and the Start of the War with Ukraine
Russia’s prolonged war with Ukraine started all the way back in 2014, in the aftermath of the revolutionary movement that ousted then-president Viktor Yanukovych, who had been accused of catering more to Russia’s interests than to those of his own country. As Yanukovych fled to neighboring Russia on February 21, Kiev’s new rulers issued an arrest warrant for his role in the “mass murder of 88 innocent civilians.”
On February 23-24, 2014, Putin convened an all-night meeting with security service chiefs to discuss the extraction of the deposed Ukrainian president. At the end of the meeting, Putin remarked that “we must start working on returning Crimea back to Russia.”
Just a few days later, on the 27th, masked Russian troops with no distinguishing marks took over the parliament and captured other strategic sites across Crimea.
Again, Putin claimed that he ordered his troops to attack in order to protect Russian nationals living in Crimea, who were under threat from Ukrainian nationalists.
Russia formally incorporated Crimea as two Russian federal subjects—the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol on March 18, 2014. They also moved in nuclear missiles to solidify the new status quo.
According to Putin, “Crimea has always been an integral part of Russia in the hearts and minds of the people,” and retaking control of it corrected an injustice that was done to the Russian Federation in 1954, when the Supreme Soviet of the time gave it to Ukraine, then a Soviet republic.
That same month a guerilla war broke out in the Donbas region of Ukraine. When the Ukrainian military managed to regain control, Russia began a conventional invasion of Donbas.

Again, the same narrative emerged out of the Kremlin: Russia had been forced to deploy troops to defend the Russian-speaking population in Donbas. As a result of the invasion, separatists regained control over much of their lost territory, and things would have escalated even further if it hadn’t been for the ceasefire, which came to be known as the Minsk I Protocol.
It was the first of 29 ceasefires that followed in the coming years. Each of them was supposed to last indefinitely, but none did.
The Drums of War Are Beating Loud for Ukraine
Today a clear parallel emerges with what happened in Georgia and then Crimea. The joint Russian-Belarusian military drills that are taking place right now, just 140 miles of highway away from Ukraine’s capital of Kiev, are set to end by late February.
Will history repeat itself, and will these Russian soldiers cross the border and invade?
Only time will tell.
What we know is that at this moment, Ukraine stands alone. It is not part of the NATO alliance, and despite all the help in military equipment and money offered to bolster its defenses, no European nation will send actual soldiers to help defend it against Russia.
And neither will the U.S.
Related: If An EMP Hits The US, Will Other Countries Help Out?
If Putin decides to invade, it will probably happen in the next couple of weeks, while the frozen winter soil can allow for an armored crossing. It will probably be a multi-pronged attack, coming from Belarus and Russia itself.
With much of Ukraine’s military might concentrated in the far east—where the war with Russian-backed separatists has raged for the last eight years—military experts and Ukraine’s own generals say it will be very difficult for the country to gather the forces necessary to also defend its northern border.
It’s estimated that Russia currently has enough men and firepower at the border to conquer and hold Kiev and large regions of Ukraine but not the whole country.
Putin’s goals are still unclear, and his demands for security guarantees from the West, such as “Ukraine must never be allowed to join the alliance” and “NATO must revert back to its pre-1997 borders,” are almost impossible to agree to.
And Russia’s President probably knows it.
But this might just be the final piece of the puzzle. Putin is looking for a reason to justify going to war with the Ukraine and to continue the work he began years ago of restoring the former URSS.
By looking at how the U.S. and NATO are portrayed as aggressors in the Russian media, and how the country must fight to defend itself from their encroachment near its borders, we could speculate this is the case.
That being said, the alliance has kept expanding east ever since the early 1990s, with no signs of stopping.
For a long time, Russia was too weak to contest this, but not anymore. And one can’t help but think that Russia is really being placed in a difficult position regarding its security and that some of their concerns are justified.
After all, who is NATO supposed to protect against, if not Russia?
Related: Vladimir Putin’s Position on ISIS and the Coming War
Recently Putin declared that the security guarantees he asked for in writing were largely ignored by the U.S. and its allies. And while there are still diplomatic efforts to avert an armed resolution to the crisis in Ukraine, time is quickly running out for a peaceful outcome.
An Impossible Choice for America
There is not much debate at the moment as to whether Ukraine will be able to withstand the Russian invasion.
Most military analysts agree it can’t.
The real question is what will happen once Putin chooses to disregard the West’s threat of economic sanctions and diplomatic exile and goes ahead with the invasion, either overtly or covertly, as he did in Crimea.
NATO will probably have to react in some manner, and the threat of a much bigger, much deadlier conflict will loom over us all.
And should Russia choose to attack any of the post-1997 NATO countries it demands removed from the alliance, the U.S. will be faced with an impossible choice: Intervene and risk a nuclear war, or stay out and lose the faith of all its European allies as well as show the entire world that it is no longer the superpower in once was.
I will end this by sharing another one of Mr. Putin’s remarks about the West.
“They cheated us again and again, made decisions behind our back, presenting us with completed facts. That’s the way it was with the expansion of NATO in the East, with the deployment of military infrastructure at our borders. They always told us the same thing: Well, this doesn’t involve you.”
So, as you can see there two sides to every story.
But the real question is: What do you think America should do in this situation?

Good article regarding the potential conflict and Mr. Putin’s ambition, but not much there about the effect on America, as your title states. That’s why I read the article. I was hoping for insight. Rather, you want us to define the effect on America.
Of course, it puts us between a rock and a hard place. Foreign entanglements and catering to sick-minded demagogues always end up in a bad place. Sometimes I think George Washington’s Farewell Address should be required reading, not that we’d learn much, since the things he warned against keep getting repeated by us over and over; without lessons-learned.
I agree with John Caton. You implied in the title you’d speak of the afffects on the U.S. Don’t see it here. Disappointed.
John, if putin gets away with this, how far down the list does that put the US? That’s what you should get out of this.
Not just Washington’s farewell address, but civic should be a required high school course.
Red: Real civics, not the distorted, twisted version being taught in school that white folk are responsible for all the troubles in the world.
Look at all the thumbs down. We have more freedom hating leftists on here than I thought. Aren’t you guys too busy bringing terrorists in? Limiting magazine capacities? Defunding police? Screaming at people for being hoarders? To pay attention here?
Khrushchev got away with it, the nuclear missiles were removed from Turkey.
Red, Putin is already got away with it. I am a Hungarian. Read the Hungarian paper Magyar Nemzet. An article in the paper written by a reporter who interviewed a local prominent man in the Ukraine. (There is a short border between the tow countries, and there are about 200,000 Hungarian minority in the Ukraine.) When he was asked what he thinks, will there be a war – the answer was no. He based his statement on the different situation what happened at the time the Russians took the Krim from the Ukraine. All the forces were called up. The people had to practice defense from bombing. The parliament was constantly debating. Now no call up, the parliament is not even sitting, he didn’t think there will be any war. He thinks the Western Media need some action.
Putin said: It is only God who can forgive terrorist, my job is to make sure they meet.Can’t you just love the guy?
Laszio: Sun Tzu said war is used only when all means of diplomacy are exhausted. Putin laughs at biden, but hunter biden is wanted in Russia for human trafficking (slaves). Biden and son are both under indictment in the Ukraine for corruption and bribery. Had the election not been stolen, but would be in a prison in the Ukraine. Putin cannot afford a war. Most of this is to mock biden, yet to help cover a number of things.
the war wouldn’t be a very long one.. and the Nato countries already folded …. Germany , Turkey all quit… before the fight.
Russians control the oil pipelines to the EU….. and they can’t fuction without it.
Laszio: Putin does love Western movies. I respect him. If a tenth of what he’s had to go thru to stop communism from taking back Russia were known, we’d be throwing flowers at him. Old Texan pre-battle prayer, “Lord, we beseech thee to forgive us our sins, and the sins of those we are about to send on before us.” niio
budgie boy, sigh. Scandinavia’s North Sea oil, the UK’s oil fields. Coal and gas production. Germany is back in the coalfield, and so is the UK. A lot of nations are building geothermal plants or nuke plants. Russian oil isn’t needed, but it’s cheaper then what the rest of the world is now producing. Putin’s war is a side show. Stop being distracted by it. Putin needs Euro-dollars far more than he needs more mouths to feed and rebellious ones, at that.
lol Germany who has a nuclear ban… and buys power from france….. sorry broski the Geo thermal wind and solar isnt going to cut it. The “coal” isn’t going to be green enough for the EU…. and yes they need the oil for heating the homes…. kinda of a big deal when you can’t wait for someone to build a nuclear power plant in france …
twitter bird: All you had to do was fact check yourself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_Germany
Russia controls their own pipeline. That’s it, titmouse. They do not control North Sea oil or the UK’s oil. Again, because you seem to have problems understanding simple English, Europeans are building geothermal Gee-oh-ther-mal. Look it up.
Look up Erdogan of Turkey. Turkey has been at war with Russia since the Ottoman Turks ran the nation.
When talking to family in Germany, the kids tell me their grandparents are up in arms against Russia. Germans have long memories and have not forgotten how Stalin raped them.
oops guess reds wrong again full scale invasion is going on right now…
whirly bird, once again you try to start trouble and drive people off this site. why do that except you’re as liberal as 3 dollar bill. If you can recall past what camel you snacked on tonight, please remember I also said you liberals needed something to take public attention off of what’s happening in your nazi nation of Washington DC. Again, it’s not our fault you were abused as a child. Stop trying to get people killed with your weird ideas.
do the wold a favor red and suck start yoru hipoint….
That freedom convoy better turn around or it won’t be able to afford the fuel to get back home.
birdy: i should have known. anyone who’s nice to you, you turn on and sneer. I no longer drive truck, and have stated that the freedom convoy would be better off blocking the interstates as we did years ago. that got national interest and made local and federal governments afraid. the nazi libs in Canada pretty much harassed and abused the people into quitting.
Hear! Hear! Well said, John Caton. Eisenhower also warned us about the military-industrial complex and we failed to hear his warning also.
LCC: real civics is what now a high school course in Arizona. parents are being respected because a few schoolboard members have been jailed for not. Libs always have something to hide, to try to force people into thinking it’s normal.
One thing I completely loved about covid and lockdowns was, teachers shrieking that parents were spying on them and the kids, and complaining. Thanks to that, a lot of schoolboards and few governors were replaced by angry parents. May it continue into the coming years, and the revolt heard ’round the world, Let’s go Brandon. niio
What concerns me more than anything is the bumbling idiot Biden already announced we have sent cyber warfare experts to the Ukraine. Russia is far advanced compared to the US in cyber warfare capabilities. Top on my list is them shutting down our power grid. The havoc this will cause is incalculable. Not too concerned about misses hitting us as they fear what the retaliation would be. Although with Joe and the Ho maybe they fear it less. I am sure Joe will tell them what our plans are in advance.
The power grid being down even for a week would cause all sorts of chaos. NERC and FERC are self regulating which means they have not spent a dime in hardening the grid against any of this type of mischief. When it comes to the Power companies the foxes really do have the keys to the henhouse. Much has been made of Texas being independent of the nations power grid and look at what a small case of “cold” weather did. This should demonstrate the incompetence of those who run the power systems. I say cold in this respect because as I currently write this we have 30 inches of snow on our property. Be prepared people. Be prepared.

Distraction.
That’s ALL this Russia/Ukraine hub-bub is about.
One phone call, one (1), could END all this nonsense today.
A call from Beijing Biden or his State Dept. stating that we withdraw any and all notions of Ukraine joining NATO, ever, would END the saber rattling, troop formations and talk of war.
One phone call.
But, alas, the powers that be WANT your attention half a world away while Beijing Biden & company continue to FAIL on every front and issue.
One phone call . . . .
Absolutely. It also draws attention away from Taiwan, the mandates, etc. Everything wrong in the elite suppression of the people.
Also a good way to hide the money going overseas to fund this disaster, which a large portion is returned to the Sanders, under the table. Wars and arms deals have driven the wealth of corrupt leaders for centuries.
Schools have been taken over over by freedom hating leftists. You can’t expect them to teach the truth. Look how they bury the truth about the Democratic Party?
Well that would be our fault…. We let them take over the education system .. So the youth have no idea what the truth is. We them control hollywood and now the morals and dreams and heros are all the same things they want. They preach how captialism is evil and yet you wonder why your kids are scrolling in tik tok shaking there boobs for likes. You also let them control the churches. For a country that claims 85 percent christianity …. it doesn’t show. You have weak churches preaching the same weak message to the sheep. OF love and grace. You wonder why our country is so shameful. Well look at the churches in truth you have about a 15 percent and thats a high number of real christians who are doing what Elohim said to do. Most are just the chaff that will blow away in the wind. If we had such a base of Faith belivers we could of changed the world….. . yet we fall
Churches are to blame and the people in it as well for not calling them out for a pathetlic message. We took ourselves out of the mainstream church and started our own. Trust me i recommended it to everyone. Get out of the church and start your own.
You are right. I am not a U.S. citizen. But this problem is security. When the soviets tried to place missiles in Cuba in 1962 the U.S. threatened war. But that was just a blind. To stop messing with Cuba Kennedy had to promise To remove the nuclear missiles from Turkey. That was the goal.
Russia has the same rights for security as the U.S. Did the U.S. asked the American nations for permission when declared the Monroe Doctrine? So why should Russia ask permission to declare a security zone
Lazlo: If russia wants to stay secure, the first line of operation is to stop panicking every time someone give them a mean look. 2nd, stop slant drilling into our- and Canada’s oil. 3rd Stop sending troops over the Artic. Inuit in the Northwest of Canada say they’ve fought quite a few battles with russians over the last few years. The Monroe doctrine is long, long passed, but Russia and china both think they have a right to rule the world no matter how many have to die to accomplish that.
And nobody is able to stand up to either China or Russians…. The Ukraine war isnt the US fight…. and neither is every stupid war we fought after WW2….
Russian is already able to out match our military. China and Russian will become a super power in the world while our country cumbles into history like every other failed empire. We followed the same path of every broken empire that was once great.
fledgling: India kicked china out of her territory several times. Vietnam does it at least once a year and Vietnamese have shown me footage of some spectacular air battles between their Russian Sukhoi Su-57 and Chengdu J-20. NK has kicked them out a few times. Right now they’re losing a war against a few thousand Moskitos Indians in Nicaragua just as the USSR did.
John …by tonight or tommormow the world will be at war… Our fools in office will be gleaming for more postive points in a war .. The fools around here think a war with russia is over and done with in mins…. The truth is Iran will go forward with sudan,
and China will make a play on tawaian
Meanwhile the former super power america…. slips into second world status…
In my opinion we’re already at 3rd world status, with all of the crime, poverty, political and corporate corruption.
Robert: I live 100 miles from Mexico. In 1912, they had an economy head and shoulders over the US. Then socialists took over. Read what’s happening in Mexico today. No, we’re hardly 3rd world, but it could happen all too soon, as it did in Venezuela, which also had a great economy, till the socialists enlisted a software company to help them take the nation. niio
mexico should of never been given back to them. We had destroyed mexcio and controled as far mexico city…. yet the fools in office gave half of the land back.
schiesse vogel: Give Mexico back what? Nah, I’m kidding. The northern stats and Quintana Roo all would have come into the US as territories and if not for the dnc, would have been welcomed. Most of the peoples in Mexico do not recognize Mexico as having authority over them. The biggest import today in Mexico is guns. Smugglers are making huge profits, just as they when Canada outlawed most guns.
I agree. I saw a former CIA station chief yesterday say that Russia will launch cyber attacks against us infrastructure disguised as ransomware if we support Ukraine. Also will take out our spy satellites if we share Intel and our GPS satellite’s. This can get out of hand quick and we could end up in the dark!
oh well shut the beast down
Scott: We have a white house and congress that lives in the dark. Half are known to be or suspected of being brain damaged/insane. All most all are greedy and don’t mind blood on their hands so long as they get their way. I worry more about them thank Putin. Yes, he wants to complete the plans of his ancestors, to own the world. And yes, he will try something. Ukraine is an excuse to try to bull the world. niio
Eisenhower’s farewell address also.
Putin’s goals are still unclear, and his demands for security guarantees from the West, such as “Ukraine must never be allowed to join the alliance” and “NATO must revert back to its pre-1997 borders,” are almost impossible to agree to.
The crux of the matter is “Almost impossible to agree to” WHY?
His goals were plainly laid out and IGNORED by the US.
In the real history(tm) of the Cuban Missile Crisis the USA placed nuclear missiles in Turkey and wouldn’t allow diplomacy about removing them. Thus, the Soviet Union installed Missiles in Cuba in a very open slow manner to force President Kennedy’s hand. The USA continued to treat it as a “Bluff” until the Missiles were actually armed and fueled in FULL VIEW of the Spy Planes that the USSR allowed to fly over Cuba.
Any number of small errors could have triggered a full-on exchange of Nuclear Missiles.
We came very close to canned sunshine being deployed across the globe until BOTH Sides removed the nuclear threat from Turkey and Cuba.
It’s called diplomacy by Death THREAT. Done when both sides refuse to hear and not address concerns of both sides.
Do we have a Kennedy able to OVERRIDE the Military Complex today? It was said this override was part of the reason Kennedy was assassinated.
We are in TROUBLE. We have unelected Obama era folks telling their Sock Puppet what to say via earpiece and teleprompter and even then, the Sockpuppet flounders saying, “His Scripted Lines”.
How could it affect us “Little People”? We will find out very soon that our Oceans that protected us from WW1 and WW2 will NOT save us from the Firebombing of Dresden style Total War. EMP and lights out forever. Major cities burning and so on.
Putin said it very clearly Russia doesn’t want war, but the treats of USA Nuclear Missiles less than 500 KM from Moscow deployed in A “NATO Ukraine” is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Putin said clearly “There will be NO WINNERS if Russia is forced to use military force to prevent this.
Pray for wisdom and mercy. The elites think they will be safe from the hell that occurs in taxpayer paid for bunkers. We have “General Milley” that kept the Chinese “Informed” if Trump was to orders anything against them.
I was 14 when the Cuban Missile Crisis happened. We had a Democrat President who was a patriot (and competent ).We had a Congress who were patriots. We had a media who were patriots. We had a military who were patriots. That was 1962 when the majority of Americans were patriots. We WERE at the brink, but we made it through without the button being pushed. Now I look at the current situation in 2022……… I’m glad I am old and in the winter of my life. All good things must come to an end. ROME was not conquered by external enemies until it had collapsed internally do to social rot. History has a way of repeating itself.
you had democrats who enforced jim crow laws…. and you had republicans who bent over and voted in for the welfare society…… yeah no thanks oh and all the anti gun measures that went with it too.
Yes, I believe Kennedy was taken out by the deep state because he was a patriotic President and the only decent Democrat President we have had in my lifetime. Reagan and Trump have been the best Repocons. Clinton was one of the best fiscally decent Presidents with Newt in Congress.
Biden is 200% incompetent, and Obama is likely pulling the strings for his global elite handlers with Biden. Obama and the DemonRats want America destroyed and transformed into their neo-Marxist-Maoist-Facists 2-tier nation under a strong-arm control of the Government with a godless society where Government is the new god. These ungodly Presidents – Biden and Obama, have put America in a position of God taking his hands off with His Divine protection. Like the prodigal son, America will get to wallow in the shxt Biden brings America under Obama, and there will be no blessing for our military in any engagements. If America engages with Russia, America will lose. I suspect Biden wants a war in Ukraine to help hide the sins of his family and the Clintons.
Until the American people awaken to the truth and come back to Jesus Christ as God en masse, our nation will continue to suffer until it is destroyed after the rapture of the Church. When there are no godly and righteous men or women left in America, God may hand this nation the judgement in deserves as a foreshadow of what he will do to mystery Babylon in the great tribulation period – completely destroyed by fire!
Eventually, God will surface the truth on this evil Government and they will sow the evil they have reaped!
I just finished reading a series that started “Battlefield Ukraine followed by five other rather lengthy novels detailing the devastating battles the US. Faced in Korea, Taiwan, the Pacific and finally China.
It was written in 2019 and is based on Trump being president and how he would react to the challenge of fighting wars on two major fronts st once. It goes into the travails the U.S. would face and the kind of casualties we would experience. For readers who found this article somewhat sparse on details regarding the effect of WWIII on the U.S., I would recommend reading the series. It is five rather lengthy novels but is fast moving and an easy read. I read the approximately 3,000 pages in about 5 days.
Could you please supply the titles and author? Sounds interesting.
Read it. Very well written. It will be reality my friend.
The problem is the U.S. is used to dealing with small nation by economic bullying, the fail with world powers. England had the same problem. The U.S. should learn from them. You have to treat major powers like you wanted to be treated by them.
I hope the Ukraine will realize in case of fighting there maybe a few thousand American military casualties but NO AMERICAN CIVILIANS. On the other hand beside the military there will be tens of thousands of civilians. Look at it as a Putin Doctrine.
We have no bussiness in the Ukraine… however the last time Russians went to fight… They have perfected the Artillery better then the US…… Thousands will end up dead in mins from a russian artilleary attack.
Laszlo: The Ukraine would turn into another Afghanistan for Russia. Perhaps worse, because Stalinists forced thousands of Ukrainians to relocate throughout the old USSR.
Look on this as a horse and pony show to take your eyes off of what liberals here are doing. Putin isn’t a good person, but neither is he as evil as the dinosaur news media makes him out to be. niio
red…. afganistan for russia was afganistan… large parts of the ukraine already want to rejoin. and honestly its a big section of land but its not fighting the islamic demons either. They would have the country inside of six months and under there own control.
If they don’t end up clacking off on wednesday i would be shocked but given the cyber warfare ablity …… Your GPS is useless and they can shut down the grid without firing a shot.
birdy, little fledgling again, you seem to have just cracked the egg. Have you any reading skills? any ability to understand clichés and so on. sigh. It is SO difficult to educate the liberals. Where did I say we belonged in the Ukraine. If your man in the WH drags us into it, you might have a point. Mine being, please read what I wrote, not what you think I wrote.
All that is going on in the world to day, is the very reason “WE” need to “FIGHT” very hard to keep our GUNS…
There “will not” be “FREEDOM” with out GUNS….
One more thing I saw. Was the demon demacraps are TRYING to say that dumb ass biden has stoped covid in its tracks. He is a LIAR.
They caused the damage and crisis that has devastated this earth. NOW they want the credit for doing NOTHING, but destroying.
VOTE THEM OUT…
They need to be sent to the GALLOWS and swing from the end of a rope.
remember the ILLEGALS that they let in will Vote the demons back in office if “We” do not stand up and vote.
Don’t be so pissed off at the world. to not VOTE.
Believe me I am pissed off super big time. That’s why I am asking all to vote them OUT.
Will It be better after “WE” Vote them out, maybe..
Any one is better then these Dumb ass Demacraps.
Just look at our borders our country our way of life before the Dems unlished a death virus on the world.
VOTE.VOTE.VOTE…
No, I can’t stand any of this politics crap. but this is our america and this is the only place to lay our heads down.
O’ and GOD is watching you and me to see how we act down here on “HIS EARTH”.. HE SEE EVERYTHING…
Good luck if we are attacked by russia and China.and our own people in america…
like it or not. It’s Real…
Yes, God is watching. Vote? For what? As i stated in my comments yesterday, choosing the lesser of two evils is still an evil choice. My God says to flee the very appearance of evil. So no, I won’t be voting even if one evil candidate is better than the other evil candidate. I’ll quietly wait for our redemption, which drawth nigh.
Americans need to realize that the only way we save America is coming back to Jesus Christ and teaching the Bible in our schools. We need leaders who fear God more than man for they will have a sane mind, and desire the best for America unlike the DemonRats and Bejing Biden and our “wannabe the anti-Christ” Obama!
Obama was a forshadow of the anti-Christ, but he is too stupid and too ugly to be the real deal that the world will love coming soon to a new world order maybe this decade!
John, do you pray for our leaders as Jesus commanded? His leaders were all set to send him to the cross, but he still prayed for them. Pharisees, Sadducees, Greco-Romans were all evil, but still the leaders. You have the right to vote, a God-given right. do not blaspheme that right. And, yes, you are sinning if you refuse to vote. don’t be like raven, too afraid to do more than hide next to biden in the cellar on voting day.
I am a Christian and one thing I know is that God has never meant for us to run from evil. If any man turns his back on evil, then evil will prevail. What is fleeing evil if it is not turning your back to it.
If it is ok and this is from Pritcher’s, to fight and kill for your country then it must be alright to protect your family and fight evil. There are no gray areas where good/evil is concerned
.
Yes the idea that your “leaders are really your leaders” You would be praising hitler and paying taxes….. or enjoy Nero’s reign because he’s our leader…. The right goverment and rightious goverment you pray for you. Not a false ruleing and corrupt one that is going to percute Christians.
John C:
Like my mom always says – if you don’t vote, you’ve got no right to complain if you don’t like who gets elected.
But hey, you do you.
If you, and I mean this in the plural, not just John, have a Patriotic spirit and a will strong enough, run for office and help ensure that we the people of America will continue in freedom.
We as a whole have gotten lazy and selfish. Anyone waiting for They to fix things, wake up. We are they.
I do vote and will continue to do so even though I’m pissed. I pray the people of America wake up enough to vote the right way that it will overwhelm any cheating the dems do. I try to have faith in my fellow Americans, but what I’ve seen thus far, it sure makes it hard. I find myself wondering about our 2nd amendment lately. We fight so hard to keep our right to keep our guns. That 2nd amendment is about a tyrannical government. What kind of government do we have now? If it isn’t a tyrannical government, I don’t know what is. We should have already stood up and done something. We have too many opinions in America. We have allowed way too much bs. Everyone thinks differently and there is no cohesion. If you don’t have cohesion you don’t have anything. The question is how bad does it have to get before people come together? Where are all the able bodied men and women? It’s going to take all of us. But I’ve never seen the lack of spine in our men lately, while they watch women getting raped, robbed, etc. and do nothing. I seriously doubt any of those men are on this site, so don’t think I’m insulting you. You all know what I’m talking about. Those kinds of scenes would have never happen years ago. I pray it’s not too late by the time we figure it out.
Bannana at this point the best we can hope for is a country to seperate into factions … one side takes the founders way and we the people can enjoy our freedom and way of life and the other side can go forward and enjoy the socialism commies…. side they truely want.
If we don’t seperate soon enough its going to be bloodshed thats so bad and awful. neithe side will win in the end.
vote 3rd party, help to upset the right/left monopoly.
Banana: Yes. Our parents are much to blame, letting things slide. We don’t. I can’t say how many times, I had to explain to an immigrant you can vote what way you please. Just because someone is registered dem, doesn’t mean they have to vote that way. Primaries in many states, yes. But primaries allow for write-in candidates. That’s how Barletta in PA won. People wrote his name in the dem side and he won both ways 🙂 niio
Vote them out lol…. ? yeah keep up the faith that your vote counts..
Lets face it the US Military in all its might is no longer a match for either China or Russia in a Peer to Peer fight. The US Military is a joke and in shambles after the last 10 years of “equality training and all the bs” You having aging equipment that is broken down and trashed.. Training is spent in a classroom learning what pronouns you need to use or get booted out. We don’t have the ablity to win a fight and the DOD knew this about 5 years ago. So enjoy the slow decline and rapid failure of this once great nation.
But make sure you keep voting and expect things to change too. Its not like Biden didn’t steal a entire election and nobody did a thing about it. So you will always have that for you. Because VoTiNg MaKeS a DifEerence and you gotta do your part…. because if you did anything else they might call you a terroist.
better I stand before GOD, that he says, at leased you tried to make a change. there were those that did not even try…
so be to you as you stand…
red ant
at least you tried… so you think voting is trying ? you already know the results …they steal the election its like getting robbed and letting your wife get raped but at least you closed the door.
@ raven
yes, I’ve been trying sence I was 18 and became legal to vote. I will keep trying until the time, I am no more.
HELL even I know that it dose not matter if you vote or don’t.
I just fill better knowing that I at leased tryed and did not just shut the door on my wife…
Obama gutted our military because he is a traitor and hates America and God. Biden is no different. Trump tried to build up our military, but a little too late and he didn’t drain the Obama rotten Marxist traitors in our federal institutions.
America is done a nation/super power! Our only short-term hope is God himself if we return to Him as 2 Chronicles 7:14 states. After the rapture of the righteous by Jesus Christ, I suspect God may bring judgement on America to foreshadow myster Babylon in the tribulation period – complete and utter destruction by fire!
red ant, yes, if we refuse to try, we sin against God and the nation. It’s not God’s will we hide in the cellar on voting day next to the lil chickadee and his bro biden. niio
@ Red
Thank you.
You know that this is part of the Birth pains.
MORE pain is coming…
Its a sin to not vote ? If voting for someone or something that goes against Elohims will (they back abortions and all the other garbage ) then yes you don’t vote. You don’t partake in the games and waste your time. Nobody here is voting in a federal election yet nobody is hiding in a basement.. I mean damn only if jews would of voted harder they might of not been murdered right. i mean that’s what it comes down too.
Raven:
I agree that elections on all levels may be rigged, but unless you do vote you’re just making it easier for TPTB to steal the vote.
I aim to make it as difficult as possible for those people to take control of OUR republic, and not only will I vote, but I will be one of (hopefully) many who will demand that this next election be conducted in an atmosphere free from chicanery and deceit.
People are angry, and if this next election is finagled so the result is another improbable, dubious win, I really think people are going to rise up. A lot of people are saying “we’ve had it”, and are mad enough to act now. It’s going to be worse after two more years of Brandon and Co. running the economy, national security, and everything else into the ground.
Have a little faith in your fellow Americans.
So Kitty… .IF the elections are rigged…. you can’t win by voting…. so why vote… The founders sure understood what to do… The battle of Athen’s sure understood what to do….. but hey lets keep the cycle watch fox news as they tell you what to think and the other side listens to CNN…. they make you a dull pointless voter who doesn’t do a thing but worships the all might gov.
Put it this way republicans will never win a election again in a federal election. Why bother with them as most of them sold out…
Well, whirley bird, now we know you never cracked open a Bible. You just called Jesus a liar and a nazi.
Vote Vote Vote??? Are you stupid stupid stupid? We just witnessed a Coup… in the United States! Where were you? The “votes” clearly sided with Trump, yet it’s the people who COUNT the votes that decide who won. They changed almost everything pertinent to the voting PROCESS, then essentially eliminated the Electoral College’s fail-safe role and even AFTER a Congressional Investigation (that proved the votes were fraudulently switched,) because they own the collective Media, squashed the investigation’s outcome and mitigated it entirely.
disgusted: what fail-safe are you talking about? decades ago, Gov. Ed Rendell (D, PA) the night before elections was down in the polls, at 2%. Next day, thanks to computerized voting machines, he won by a landslide. Conservatives have tried for years to force things back to a safer way, but liberals fight it and win because too many of us sit on our hands. That’s changing and it’s thanks to liberals it is, because the nuts thought they owed the nation now.
We collectively stand at the polling places, demanding the right to ensure the votes are properly counted. If there had been 10,000 Patriots outside the counting place in Philadelphia, they wouldn’t have been able to get away with covering the windows. We would have demanded the count be observed. We can no longer be lazy, or we can just lay down.
wannabe a raven, who is in control? Hitler talked a lot about God and so on and was an atheist. He was anti-democracy and destroyed it in Germany and Austria. When you talk Elohim, do you know which Gods you speak of?
Where did the right to vote come from? The 12 Tribes of Israel were democracies with elected officials. When they became a monarchy, it was a constitutional monarchy. The king was for the most part only a warlord. Who did that for the people? Where did your right to vote come from? You are responsible for the nation. You have the vote. You are a ruler of the US, not the hirelings you hand power to and shrug off what they do. Who is punished when God gets angry with a nation? The rulers suffer most for the sin of bad government, ruler.
Red ant knows his stuff. Me, as well, because I have generations of politically oriented people at my back. My ancestors had no kings or ruling classes, but were democratic republics before Abraham left Ur. We call politics our second religion.
the county used to have the power of the people ….. and it hasn’t been that way in in a 100 years… we could of stopped it with Wilson’s income tax and illegal war act to put us in ww2….. All down hill and now we become a socialist nation…. You’re taxed at 60 percent or more and yet we just suck it up…..
oh i belive in the Elohim who sent his son to die for all of us… I am becoming and leaning to become more Torah observant…. and the movement is strong with patriots and homesteaders.
Vote? Hello; trump won the last election and look where we are now! Unless patriots and freedom lovers worldwide unite, and very soon; the fulfillment of revelations will be upon us soon; and very soon! Depending on the DC swamp and all of its useless, corrupt, money sucking, Marxist infested, destroyers of God given freedom, agencies, puts you firmly in the “sheeple camp”!
Time to “praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition!” Is Nigh!
Capt: and that voter fraud is slowly being overturned. I live in Arizona and even Maricopa Co, a liberal county, Phoenix, is roaring mad. People are demanding to know why the board of electors isn’t behind bars, preferably in a state pen in general lockup (probably because they wouldn’t survive there long). for that matter, something like 27 states have now passed strict voting laws. Liberals are losing elections all over thanks to voters. If you don’t vote, they can use your vote without you knowing it. niio
Its funny …. most people don’t care anymore.. .and 18 months after the voter fraud….. and nothing. The battle of athens….. was that very night when they got tired of the voter fraud. A lost history lesson that few of the couch sitters will ever understand.
birdy: you might be tired of this deal, but you’re the only one here i know who is, but then, yes, liberals are tired of it. Tired of being proved wrong.
well republicans have been able to chip away at gun rights the last 5 that got in from regan to trump and now the biden admin is able to push in more.. By August the ATF will ban Pistol Brace stocks and 80 percent lowers..
But yes lets keep voting….. our founders did that.. .they voted themselves into a new country. Must of been pretty easy and simple because they voted so hard they won.
bird droppings: Yep, the founding fathers voted in a new nation. Franklin said that and I guess Pappy knew what he was saying. On the other hand, your president, the one who you supported by not voting against him is doing all the nasty little things you lie about Trump having done. All I can research on your claims is in liberal websites, and even Anne Coulter, who does NOT like Trump calls you a liar.
Ben Franklyn said its a republic …. IF you can keep it… its not anymore …. it became a cess pool of soclism…
Sorry but the map displayed of the invasion “pinchers” are of a conventional war scenario >>> Ukraine is anything but conventional ….
Putin needs to worry about an EVENTUAL decision by NATO to send in the armor and troops positioned on the west & south borders in Poland, Bulgaria and Romania – he needs to establish a quik static line of Russians <<>> that will deter NATO from their assistance movement ….
Russia put their considerable paratroop force and rapid deployment marine type on active alert last week >>> could see the first combat parachute drop in many decades …
Nato won’t do a thing.. Russia has them by the balls for heating oils…. and most of the EU now sides with Russian commie values anyways.. .
Its interesting you almost wonder if Russia went dark in the 90s as a play… to win the long game
I thought the same thing.
It is all working to bring about God’s end-time prophecies! Good to know Jesus and God’s Word right now!!! One can have complete peace and joy as we know his coming is near!
Well looks like Tuesday / Wednesday is when WW3 kicks off
@ John
You have that right.
but you are not thinking with the mind that GOD gave you.
He is talking about the spiritual side of evil. but that’s okay…
So it’s better to have the higher of the two evils running “your life”. Or would you have a better chance with the lesser of the two.
You will have to confront one of the two, some day. as we are now.
and yes God is watching you and me to see how we act down here, so that’s why we need to get the lesser of the two evils back in office
We will have a better chance to be able to get to Heaven with the lesser then with the higher of the two eavils.
see, “you and I” will still live in slavery , but better to be JOSEPH in Egypt then to be lazzaus, a bagger. it just might be what God want us to do. So we do not have to suffer as bad… think… we will always be slaves down here on earth.
easy or hard our choice…
Good luck. which ever rules us…
Fleshly evil emanates from spiritual evil. We’re already captives in the flesh. So one captor is better than another? If the better one promises us freedom, we should know by now, it’s a lie. A liar isn’t any less evil than a thief. So, I see no basis for the belief that if I play the game of choosing the better captor, that I will suddenly be free. I’ll keep my mind free of them. If they want my body, I’ll leave free. So far as what’s happening in the world, why get in front of God’s chariot? It’s God’s battle anyway. Zephaniah 3:8 …
“Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.”
because, although they knew Elohim, they did not esteem Him as Elohim, nor gave thanks, but became vain in their reasonings, and their undiscerning heart was darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and changed the esteem of the incorruptible Elohim into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds and of four-footed beasts and of reptiles.
Romiyim (Romans) 1:21-23 TS2009
We are no lesser then them, because we are sinners. all the same.
Only difference between you and them, is that you don’t do the things that they do and you excepted Jesus as your Savior. I have to, but still a sinner.
and not saying you have to obey the evil people on earth. use them as they use you.
think…
yes, it is GOD’S battle and “YOU” have been called to ARMS by him.
you ready…
it is and will get WORSE
I agree with most of the posts above. Does anyone else think that there will be 2 different assaults that will happen at the same time. I don’t think it was a coincidence that Russia and China had “a Meeting” about something fairly innocuous but likely about something else quite nefarious. If both China and Russia attack their perspective targets at the same time; it will seriously divide the allies to where they send aid/troops, ect
I do believe now that Russia & China has agreed to allow the Olympic Games to run out before the invasion begins …..
We can’t win either – America is under judgement and Biden is bring a curse upon America as Genesis 12:3 warns!
Our days are numbered. Only God can save America in the short-term, but after the rapture, I suspect God will bring the nation into judgment with absolute destruction by fire as a foreshadow to mystery Babylon in the tribulation period!
Not the time to reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior for hell will be one’s eternal destiny.
biden and the liberals, as well as ungodly conservatives are the curse. That He allowed us to go on this long is a testimony to His love. For some years we have been praying for the destruction of their demonic protection, their ungodly wealth, teachings, and power. God allowed in biden and that weak link exposed them for what they are and is destroying them. Old Testament folk would have laughed at us for our fears of the future and said we should praise God for such a mild spanking for being bad. Walk in His beauty
We have been cursed from the days of Wilson and income tax…. Look at all the pointless wars our country was forced into for no reason…. and the Ukraine isn’t even our fight.
We not only will have a new cold war but a new cold civil war.
All thanks to the Democrats in power.
CS, we’ve been in a civil war since they started to attack Trump. We’ve been in an on-going cold war since then, as well. Trump was respected if not feared by our enemies. Our enemies know a patsy when they see one, which is why they supported liberals in office. niio
There will be nothing “cold” about the war that is potentially about to happen. China has Nukes. Russia has Nukes. We have Nukes. If any make a mistake, the Nukes will be used. Chuna has Xi, Russia has Putin. We have Biden. What could go wrong?
I’m sorry but I don’t see how the title of your article is related to its content. That was a major disconnect for me. When I see the news or articles about various nations, I admit I am jaded. I served almost 30 years in the military and in my position saw “Secret” documents as well as historical “Secret” documents now declassified. It is amazing how different the actual methodologies and goals were compared to what was released to the public. Based on what I have seen from a fact- based background, the US is just as corrupt (if not more so) as any other government. We have set up and toppled so many world governments that it would make your head spin. Two quotes: “Poor men’s sons fight rich men’s wars” and Gerald Celente says, “When all else fails, they take you to war.”
In conclusion, the US is imploding from within. If other nations want to conquer us all they have to do is grab a bag of popcorn, sit back and watch the poop show while we destroy ourselves. At present we need to practice the doctrine of Isolationism (not to the degree that we believe we don’t need anyone else because that would be foolish)but rather to the point of focusing on our own myriad of problems like border security and enforcement, law and order within, our antiquated infrastructure, collapsing economy, failed educational system that is producing a generation of Socialist Snowflakes who are as dumb as a box of rocks, and getting production of goods back into this nation. I could go on but will conclude by saying, the country whose military I joined to serve and defend no longer exists.
What happens in the Ukraine has direct results on the US. Putin is thumbing his nose at biden, something he never dared to do to Trump. If it’s war, then we may well be next. And liberals will not defend us. If you see politicians running for shelters or other nations, you know we’re going to get blasted. niio
He would… he just played a different Game with trump he played Trumps massive inflated ego and made Trump think he was a really really really good guy who could he could make a deal with
swallow fledgling, again, all info you claim comes from liberal site.
You helped biden get in office. Now live with your fantasies.
John C: which Kennedy? Boston raised by a nazi father or the one from AL? Yet, from Boston had some good points and was killed for bucking the dnc. He killed a lot of taxes which made the economy boom. Yes, he had a lot of bad points, abusing power and so on, but that we can rub liberals’ noses in where he was conservative takes away a lot of their voice.
I’m completely with you there Marti. Ukraine is a sideshow. It doesn’t matter what Putin decides, the U.S. is now too weak to do anything about it. I’m English and 76 years old. I’ve observed exactly what you describe. I know about the Cuban Missile Crisis and lived through that time. Eisenhower (Rep) and Kennedy (Dem) were patriots. They had served in the real thing not a video game. When the U.S won WWII it’s industrial capacity out matched Germany and Japan combined. Bit by bit, your industrial base has been dismantled and shipped to China. The US doesn’t have the capacity to fight a war or the manpower. Your military budget is 3 x China but it all gets swallowed up in overpriced unreliable stuff. In common with a lot of western nations, including mine, the only answer is revolution. It’s a bad choice because the outcome is uncertain. I’m not a communist or a socialist but extreme capitalism undermines itself. When Kennedy was shot it 1963 we lived in decent and fair democracies. We had a stake in the society we swore to defend. It’s been all downhill since then. There is no democracy left to defend.
As for God. He is the God of all people. He doesn’t take sides. If it comes to nukes, the earth will continue circling the sun without us, as it did before we existed.
Best Wishes everyone.
Larry: read the Bible, God takes sides and always has. This is a minor spanking if you know the Bible. the peoples in the book would laugh at us over our fears.
As I tell Muslims when discussing religion, read Deuteronomy 28: 2-13 and see why the Christians are not apostates under a corrupt religion, but thrive till we get bad leaders. Then compare that with Islamic worlds where there is a wealthy class and most of the rest live in poverty. Peace to you. niio
This is actually directed to Red.
” Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.” Abraham Lincoln
The praise I read of Kennedy is laughable. The same crap going on now twixt republicans and democrats was going on then, too. Anybody remember the 500 station snydicated talk show, “LifeLine” from that time? If what they said was true, all Democrats were communists. And the democrats were saying all republicans were controlled by evil, wealthy capitalists and racists. 59 years later, the song is the same. All the issues of today were issues then. All emotionally driven to stir discord and distract, garner votes and raise dollars. If any one of the issues was real, surely one of them would have been resolved by now. They’re not resolved, because neither party wants them resolved, nor do their financiers. Only you do. So you’ll vote and your party will win, but resolution will stay just slightly out of reach. Then, your party will lose, and they’ll bring up the same issues again so you’ll react the way you did before. It’s a dead end. I don’t play. I want what’s real and I’m willing to wait for it.
Tr: That’s a fact. One had best be sure to be on God’s side before starting anything. Walk in God’s beauty and it happens. niio
The article mostly regurgitates the Biden/Congressional/Neocon lies that are being told to amp up hatred of Russia. Just about all the war talk comes from Biden, he’s setting himself up like JFK did to look like a hero while Russia gets most of what Russia wants. Which is for us to quit trying to overthrow weak countries and bully strong countries with the sanctions which are eventually going to beggar the U.S. The Military refused to invade Iran when W wanted to, they’ll darn sure stay out of war with the Rooskies. We can’t fight in Ukraine without attacking Russian support forces on Russian soil, Putin has said over and over, Russia is not Iraq, if you attack us we can and will attack you at home, too.
We orchestrated the overthrow of the pro Russian government in Ukraine, the Ukrainians wouldn’t know what to with freedom if they had it. We’re sending that corrupt nest of snake hundreds of millions every chance we get as fast as we can. What a bunch of fools we are.
Those who don’t get it: If putin goes to war against the Ukraine, guess who’s next. Yes, thank you, raven and some others who helped biden get in office, usually by not voting. None of this would have happened had Trump been in office. He was hated by our enemies, but also respected and feared by them. No freaky fauci, no lib politicos investing heavily in imported oil or med stocks and then making certain they made a bundle on those stocks. Remember Lord Aton: All it takes for evil to rule is good men do nothing. That came out of the Bible. I wish peace on all of you, my family, but it may be a long time in coming thanks to those who support liberalism by not voting. niio
I agree with you Red.
it’s funny that any one that will not VOTE, really can’t say much about anything.
Truckers starting there convoy next month. Hope every one will support them.
let’s take down the evilness in OUR COUNTRY… WE ARE THE MAJORITY. not them…
oh no the if you dont vote you can’t complain… lol .. Might of ment something 30 years ago when you voted and it was actually counted.. Why are you so stupid to understand YOUR VOTE DOESN”T MATTER WHEN ITS STOLEN …. Are you this stuipd in life to think biden won because we didn’t vote hard enough lo.
to be honest we are the minority . folks in the city are the marjoity ….. and while the truckers mission hopefully works…. this country wil be in a cw2…. but we would end up starving the rural folks out. While the cities have the ablity to ship in things from the ports as lib’s control the ports and major airports as well. Plus they own the military as well.
red ant: There’s a good book out, the polity of the Bible that tells why we, the people are supposed to vote. God wants us to. Nazis decry democracy and weaklings just complain. Better to have tried and failed than we a weakling, and that’s Bible.
Libs never learn, mostly thanks to greed and a short memory span. The last time truckers revolted it forced the feds to open new areas to oil exploration to bring down the cost of fuel. W was in the oil business and lost his (cough 🙂 when the price fell. But he still supported it. Now, thanks to biden’s supports we’re in the deep, again. niio
@ Red
it’s funny, GOD can put people in places to make a difference in His plan. Then He, God, gives us the right to make a change in those that are put in charge. GOD dose not have to vote to do what he sees fit to do. but we the people, are here on “His earth” and he put in to play for us to change those in power.
This is how we change things… WE VOTE.
thank you for helping the change…
what’s the name of the book?
I won’t vote and I do have the right to say my mind. Let me know when your vote has any effect on the decisions made by the central banks and the debt-backed wealth mongers . Your vote only counts on non-issues that democrats and republicans have been providing us for all of my 75+ years. I’m yet to see any change in those issues, be it the deficit, immigration, second amendment, voting rights, civil rights, crime, socialism… you name it. I remember campaigns back into the 50’s with the same drumbeat. If they were ever resolved, the political parties wouldn’t have much left to present us. Remember god Reagan’s rant about balancing the budget? As president, deficits soared. Uh? Bet that’s not what you voted for. But, it’s what the defense industry and the central bank wanted. Debt, under our system, is wealth to those issuing the notes. Wealth had stagnated in the free market and the issuance of more debt restored wealth. The debt increased the wealth of note holders, while taxpayers got stuck with paying the debt, enforced by the power of government. What a sweet deal. So praise Reagan. It’s was still the opposite of what the majority voted for. The vote wasn’t based on the true intentions that lay hidden in another agenda.
@raven
funny you even say anything about the Bible.
I say this because thru your u tube videos and every post that you have posted here and else where, yes I’ve read most all of them and watched your videos.
you seem to be a person of great hardship that the only thing I see thru you, is hate for ALL…
Then you talk about Elohim and you worship his son JESUS Christ, but your mouth tells a different story.
(Abundants of the Heart the mouth shell speak).
I fill you are hiding behind a plastic sheet, only seeing what you can see thru it and not seeing the realness of the other side.
I fill you must be a real man in CHRIST. but your tounge speaks on the Left and the Right, but nothing in the middle as a whole…
by your post it looks like you are “over consumed” by this that is here on earth, so much you don’t even see the truth that is in your face every day.
you come on here and spray your Vomit all over the place and speak against peoples family’s and then down talk so many of us on here where we as preppers come to read and talk about articles that have been placed here for us to learn from and give our opinions about, what we think is right or wrong about the artical and others that post there opinion.
BUT we do not come on here and want to have some person ripping up every part of anything that is posted, or on any article that has been place here.
Voice your opinion and post something about the artical or about some one’s post. BUT BUT BUT BUT…
say it in an expert point of view.
if you say thats what you are.
my self I truly do not see it in you.
PS: it pussies me off that I had to say what I have just posted. BUT I could not stand to watch you spew your crap anymore. so I’m saying this to you raven.
CHILL OUT SOME. you don’t have to post hate to let us no, you… quite being that guy. Dam it man. chill out……………
i am the same guy on the channel who says the same…. thing. . I don’t hate anything I just state the Truth and support it with facts.. . You don’t like it then i guess i am not your cup of tea and guess what…. THATS OK.. . i am A Elohim Fearing man who has been through trials and beaten down by the lies of the devil . I found myself at the botton and the only thing saving me Is Elohims Grace… It doesn’t mean Christians have to turn the other cheek… (that was only for those who verbally insulted you) and your cheap insults don’t really matter to me all that much. Its the lack of will that everyone seems to be relaxed with… Letting everthing go to hell and just sit there ass on the couch and do nothing about it.
of course people like you see people like us as the bad people in your life… Becaeuse your to shallow minded and scared to fight the real ones who are destroying your way of life.. You rather attack the Voice … telling you the truth then accept it and go forward… and fight.
We are doing something and due how you act… i wouldn’t even bother training people like you. Just weak will and weak minded. We don’t bother with sheep… we train warriors.
see how you include others with your self.
no one else but YOU do I see that, just you…
it’s not y’all…. it’s just you.
no one else acts like you do. not even the trolls. class by your self.
I very seriously doubt there is anything you could train red.
You are much too young to have found truth in life, and lack any humility to learn from anyone. I would have hated being the commanding officer for your regiment and I’m certain he had near daily reports related to your activities.
As far as the bump stock, I would ban it too. Making a weapon in a clandestine manner that is capable of military level firing means the owner is trying to make a weapon that only properly trained people should have. Without the need for training, military weapons are dangerous. I have friends who the first time they fired a .22 didn’t have control. Put a .556 in their hands, and no way to know if they can handle full auto? No thank you. I don’t care what you own, what you do, what you like or dislike, live your life. But when you cheat to get your hands on fully automatic weapons? Hell no. Besides, it took him ages to do that, and only under pressure. With proper training, I don’t care if you own a Browning. 50 cal or an Abrahams tank.
wow kathy only cops and military should have guns…. what a surprise…. you have no knowledge on firearms or do you support the 2a…
let me ask the part of Shall not infringe……. why are you ok with shitting all over everyones rights to own and bear arms.
Did you even read what I wrote? An accessory is not a weapon. I personally own weapons that you probably haven’t seen, even with your military background. I’m not a cop or military. I fully support 2A, and have spoken on the subject many times in my life.
I wouldn’t want an untrained person to drive a motorcycle on public streets. The risk to others is too high. Anyone can own literally anything they want, do whatever they want, until they put others at risk due to ignorance or apathy. The accessory that allows someone to change the purpose of the weapon is the problem. I would love if you could go to your FFL and show proficiency with the standard background check and pick up a fully auto M4. Today, you can’t. Maybe someday.
Please do the world a favor and stop assuming you know people who you have never had a conversation with. You don’t know others motivations, level of civil engagement, or history.
Oh, your device has spell check. Let it do it’s job. I can forgive grammar, not many ground pounders spent much time in literature classes.
Have a beautiful day
ok kathy lets call it a accessory …. so lets use the ar15 … due to the ATF ruling that the lower receiver is the “FIREARM” all other parts are nothing but accessory’s …. barrels, handguards ,stocks, optics… You could at be honest with yourself if OBAma did this you be up in arms but your false god tRUMP did it so its ok… You voted for him so you can’t ever hold him accountable..
a bump stock is a “STOCK” and a it was a infrigment on the 2a.. You back the 2a or you don’t and people like you i call the butters… i support the 2a but……… so you don’t its simple as that.
and your little sob sorry about buying a m4 from a FFL…. why in hell would we need a FFL in the first place…. We should be able to mail order anything we want without the gov registering everything own.
i am tired of people like you and the rest…. and this is my last responce to this topic… you are the sole reason why they chip away at everything… YOU let them agree with it.. People like you are like the dan crenshaws of the world…sad clown sell outs to the 2a
Only my respect for the true experts here, LCC, City Chick, Red and red ant, to name a few is preventing me from going full ballistic on you.
I just pray you keep your poison on your homestead and leave the rest of us the hell alone. Because you and your ilk are the reason the rest of the world calls us crazy.
Thank the truckers when the store shelves become even more empty. I understand their position, not arguing that, but their methods will hurt the people who support them the most.

John: From the entire liberal establishment, I thank you for voting for biden. If you do not vote, they can take your vote without your knowledge and use it. Dems have been caught in a lot of states doing that.
John C: And when you protest, your protest is filed 13. Mike Kelly (D) got so much flack from AZ voters, he keeps a low profile. Sinema (D) has happily been telling off liberals since she took her place in congress. Very often dems like Kennedy and others are staunchly anti-liberalism for one reason, the voters talk to them. Voters. The voice of non-voters is so much whispers in the wind. Peace.
i got biden in ? i didn’t change the votes and i didn’t run the a rigged election…. are you really that stupid and clueless how computers work. I voted in for trump twice and i didn’t even care for him that much the second term but he was the only thing left.
You seem like a total waste of air and should tell the tree’s how sorry you are for wasting the o2 you suck up. Voting is pointless you fools now think you need to vote harder is all you have to do now…. They suckered and you stuipid boomers who wrecked the country in the first place. Dont even understand how things work.
So we should all just throw our hands up and do nothing? Mr. Raven Prepper Expert, I’ve read too many of your posts to ever take you seriously. I’ve seen how you insult people, even going as far as to call their wives character into question. Big brave man hiding behind his computer screen. You’re small and you’re weak. You post your nonsense in a desperate attempt to act like a tough guy, when in reality you’re simply pathetic. One thing I know for sure, you wouldn’t last five minutes if the SHTF. Either grow a pair or go away.
parakeet, whine, cry and carry on is all you ever do. you hate trump and all of them but rarely have you said anything against liberals. You hate cops because you’re told to. Yes, you helped put biden in by discouraging people from voting. Intelligent people think, then open their mouths.
tweety bird, and now you’re anti-military. Who owns the military? Sorry, but unlike you, I was in the military. Most men in the family and some women have been or are yet. No one owns us.
Btdt: Yo, fact. Wannabe eagle is a catbird crying me! me! There are times, he’s great, then he spoils it. niio
so your lack of reading skills….. where did i say give up….. i suggest you need more then the lazy a**hole voting and going back to shoveling fast food daily down his throat chanting trump 2024 and lets go brandon.. You don’t have the a way to secure the vote… you don’t have a fair election and you do nothing about it…. go have fun with that…
anti military ? no served over 15 years and watch it die from the inside out….. anti cop yep… because watching a police state become the normal…. watching cops have no understanding of the consitution trample over everyone’s rights….. (they have the immunity from all mistakes to include shooting up the wrong house) From no knock raids that do nothing but get the wrong people killed….
spend 5 min’s watching audit the audit and you can see how stupid it has become.. Take the cop who performed a pit manunver on a pregant woman who was slowing down with her flashers on trying to find a safe spot to pull over…. oh her crime speeding 10 mph over..
ravin’ raven, how many city people do you know? Most are prepping as best as they can. they have their own websites on how-to bug out in the city, classes in how to butcher everything from Japanese quail to cattle, how to preserve it in salt brine, to can, to raise food by the bucket method, how to dry food, make soap. Everything you think you’re doing now, most of the folks know how to, and as well, most cities allow livestock as pets. NYC has two farms in it that teach ag to children. All cities teach kids how to raise their own food. Some cities are now requesting gun safety and shooting again be part of high school curriculum. Talk to City Chick. she lives it.
hatchling pigeon, as someone who has years of experience as a manuscript researcher and editor, the last thing I lack is reading skills, LOL. ¿Me entiendes? Hör auf, deinen Arsch zu reden. would you like me to repeat that in other languages? You? Military? Thanks for the laugh. Desk jockey at the PX, maybe. Military would never make the mistakes you do, which is why military people on Preppers refuse to talk to you. Be happy I’m the merciful type and always polite to you. Ogana tili, LOL!
lol oh no NY has a few AG class’es…. man so you mean the majoirty won’t be coming out and thinking choc milk come’s from brown cows still. . Congrads man a few people take advantage of a few programs…. The city’s are death traps and cess pools of trash. I avoid driving through Chiago and spend the extra 20 mins going around it to avoid getting stuck in that waste land of filth.
Stoolie bird: NY what? We all know you have to knowledge of country living, but a lot of people in New York and other cities were either raised country or their parents were. When up east, I used to live there off and on. Yep, they have two small farms in NYC, and hundreds of thousands of veggie gardens, fruit trees, and possibly over a million aquaponic units.
Most people keep some form of livestock and read magazines like Countryside Small Stock Journal. The magazine teaches everything from A to Z on how-to Can, raise livestock, live without power, to build your own solar array, put together a windmill for power, water, or grinding gain. It was New Yorkers who forced the government to change laws regarding buying power from small producers. Some Hispanics build a windmill on the roof of their brownstone and the power company took them to court to remove it. It took 2 years, but a judge ordered the power company to pay for any electric going into the grid. Many men and women are ex-military and very familiar with all sorts of weapons. Even Hasidim Jews are taking military training.
Asian immigrants took over the old Bowery district, a slum, and turned it into gardens and parks, and eatable parks are the rage in most cities. Of course cities are deathtraps. They always were. Any town can be if you don’t understand local facts. Yet, my daughter moved down there and said she never lived in a friendlier place. Before you liberals stole the vote, each ‘hood was a neighborhood, a village. Most are very conservative, and turning away from any form of liberalism.
Well, if the clear evidence of widespread election fraud from 2020 isn’t addressed with decertification and reinstatement of the lawful president, who would masterfully defuse this situation in Ukraine, then the US has no business sticking its nose anywhere. Trump could quickly negotiate a drop in tensions. But even if Trump were in office of what good are entangling alliances? But the deep state operatives and globalists who put a dementia patient in charge of the US, only to destroy it, have succeeded in making the US impotent. After Afghanistan, why would Putin give a crap what the dementia patient has to say? The US is rightfully the laughingstock of the world because the people have been too cowardly to come after the communist infiltrators with pitchforks, tar, and feathers. But regardless with or without Trump at the helm, the US has little business doing anything other than minding its own business, and it hasn’t been doing that very well at all.
Look the few people here red and his alt acount red ant… both think if you vote hard enough. trump will rise again and solve all their problems and they can go back to not having to worry about food, preps and anything else because they assume all trump has to do is wave his magic wand.
I’ll admit when trump won in 2016 and we voted for him… i was shocked he won and so was most of the world….. I figured they wouldn’t ever let him win again and they won’t… The sad thing is the first two years we owned it all house and senate …. So you would assume we could get work done… .Instead they fought themselves and fought trump and we spent 2 years doing nothing…. So no i have little faith in anything goverment and with the elections fraud still around…. i just don’t see the point of playing the game when its clearly rigged. YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ELSE
Pigeon for the left: Yep, and thanks to the dirt you helped bring to the US by handing your vote to the liberals you obey, we may just collapse. I doubt it. Most people aren’t like you. Few drop drawers for the left as you do. Intelligent people will always have reality in mind. At the Trump rally in Tucson, a very lib town, anti-trumpers were told to beat it. When they got worse, the police removed them. BTW, it was standing room only there, and in Florence, and all over AZ. Up in Phoenix, they had a shootout. 9 cops were injured. It was a scary thing because it was a poor black ‘hood and people came out shouting F*ck Joe biden to support the cops. Yeah, you liberals ran scared from that.
The best way Americans can help the country stay out of Ukraine and more senseless costly wars is for each American to use his or her lawful power of the purse and kill the central bank (Federal Reserve). Go to LostHorizons.com and see how hundreds of thousands of Americans have used the law to force 100% tax refunds from the IRS and over 38 state governments for the last 20 years by legally distinguishing between federal income and private sector earnings. That use of the power of the purse will shrink the federal government down to the size intended by the founders and the enumerated powers. Auditing and removing the illegal federal reserve, which led to our being off the gold standard while hijacking our currency and government will be the next step toward removing our biggest national security threat–our national debt. Only then might we, with free trade, be able to assist Ukraine, if they got rid of their deep corruption. But we need to get the board out of our eye to see clearly how to get the sawdust out of Ukraine’s eye.
Be careful of reasoning that sounds correct. Carefully check all references. A reference that starts out “Lawyer Josiah Jones of Lubbock says. . .” is flat out fiction, a pernicious lie that will end up with you in federal prison if you follow it.
We had such a fellow in this county about 30 years ago. He should be out of federal prison along with a bunch of his followers by now.
He had a scheme whereby he used the Constitution as a basis for his scheme to avoid federal income tax. Unfortunately for him and his deluded followers none of the appellate courts agreed with him. Now you can say that he was right and the courts were corrupt in their refusing to validate his interpretation and you MAY well be correct. The simple fact of the matter is he still went to federal prison for a long stretch, so if you are contemplating withholding income tax payments, be prepared to spend considerable time either as a federal fugitive or else in pre-trial custody awaiting trial, conviction and prison.
Now you may be willing to set yourself up as a martyr, and that calls for courage of conviction and one day you may be revered for standing up for your convictions but I would remind you that both Ghandi and Mandela went to prison for their views although they did prevail in the end. Mandela actually spent a good part of his life in prison.
If you have that kind of courage, kudos to you. Better make arrangements for your family before you are caught up in the tentacles of the federal legal system.
kudos to him for not feeding the Beast….. and a shame nobody came to his aid armed and ready….
Strange isn’t how you don’t pay those evil fee’s…. and they come at you with guns
one can’t stand against the evil men and women that work and feed off the tax money that they steal from us every day.
only the MAJORITY can do that
but I am sure there would be those that stand back and watch, as they hall off there family’s. hint hint…
just weak
one day taxes will be the least of our worries.
I sent this to believers around the country.
If you think you shouldn’t vote, you should read this. https://www.jcpa.org/dje/articles3/apl-ch1.htm Hebrews had a democracy. Leaders and judges were elected.
If you don’t vote, you sin against all of us. You sided with abortion, slavery, pedophilia, violent people who dem judges free to cause murder and thefts. You allow pedophiles to torture children to death and it’s far more common than the dem-owned news media will admit. niio
or you could red… just shoot the pedos.. but then you have to come to the shocking conclusion that trump was also on epteins island too…. oops”
man did both sides get quiet when that guy “shot himself 9 times in the back of the head and let that narrative go
taxes are just theft
He did not. He also supports 2a. His son is a competitive shooter.
If you make that kind of blatant lie, you better bring sauce. But you can’t. Even Assange couldn’t find real dirt on him, but sure could on everyone else.
You are the most vile piece of…., take your garbage somewhere else. NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR A DAM THING YOU SAY, or hadn’t you noticed?
yes…. kathy he is anti gun…. or do you quickly forget he banned bump stocks and rewrote what a machine gun is…. oops
lil fledgling prepper: Are you still in the egg? So what if Trump went anywhere you claim. But, you’re a known liar and cheat. show us, not just gossip, something condemned by God. You have no proof except from your liberal friends. https://meaww.com/did-trump-visit-epstein-island-ann-coulter-cryptic-post-acquaintance-with-jeffrey-interview
Kathy: You can say n good about people to a liberal. The fledgling just cracked the egg and all is new to him that’s outside what he learned by being a liberal. Please, be calm. He makes these comments because he has no life and that’s the lib way, tear down what others have to make them live on your level. niio
You just crossed a line. Yes, President Trump went, saw what it was, and left immediately. He also vowed to take him down. Banned Epstein from Mar a Lago for offering a child as an escort to another guest.
Don’t just read the left side headlines. I’ve followed President Trump for several decades. He’s not perfect. but no human is. He met his vow. That evil man was stopped, and by whichever hand, is now dead.
I’m sickened that the only way you know to build yourself up is by trying to make others look bad. All it does is show what a weasel you really are. A raven is a noble bird, you defile them by your moniker.
Kathy: LOL, you hit it right on, thank you. But, please, don’t insult weasels by comparing them to the blue-eyed goose. No one respects him because his tongue overrides his brain. niio
Right because the two biggest weakness…. trump has his young women and and his ego….. .oh well Its over and done with … nobody seemed to interested in finding out that infomration about his death. Its mostly due to everyone in gov and hollywood involved with it. They are all corrupt assholes
The quality of discussion on Russian aggression herein is entertaining but not informative. My family has served in the US Army since 1835; every generation, starting with my G-G-grandfather who immigrated from Ireland in 1835. Dad (WWII) and my oldest brother (Viet Nam) are graduates of the USMA at West Point. Brother John (Viet Nam) served in the US Navy (although we don’t talk about that much). I served, as did both of my sons (Desert Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan).
Eastward NATO expansion was inevitable following the collapse of the USSR following Gorbachev and Yeltsin. The post-Soviet aggression orchestrated by Putin and the coterie of criminal oligarchs around him has been largely ignored by the NATO alliance; perhaps in hope of averting another land war in Europe. That cherished hope is doomed to failure. Mr. Putin is determined to reestablish Russian hegemony over all of the former satellite republics at any cost. So far, he has not encountered any real obstacles. Economic sanctions will have a minimal effect as the Russian banks have been aggressively building international cash reserves. Russian trade alliances have shifted from the West to China. Shutting down the oil pipeline into Germany will be more consequential to Germany than to Russia.
The only thing that will stop a full-on land war in Europe will be a full-on NATO (including US Forces, not just war materials) military boots-on-the-ground in Ukraine. Saying this isn’t an American issue is wishful thinking unless you are in favor of complete global Sino-Russian economic and political hegemony of everything. While the 1950’s cold war MAD Policy had its serious drawbacks, a relatively stable balance of power was maintained. At this point it appears we are not in it for the long haul.
Putin ain’t crazy enough to invade Ukraine, put your war expertise to work and imagine invading and occupying a country the size of Texas with your enemy on both borders. It’s10 times worse than invading Afghanistan and allowing your enemy unlimited sanctuary in Pakistan.
afganistan didnt want what anyone else offers… the ukraine half of them are russian who want it to go back….. and who’s going to challenge putin…. nobody
Putin is an old KGB man and was well trained in that type of thinking. He has regularly stated that he intends to absorb all of the satellite countries again. The russian society has a high percentage of people who still wish for the old soviet world of squashing down anyone they feel they can bully. Putin and his followers have regularly made incursions into the former satellite countries, either physically or through technological attacks. Estonia has one of the most advanced technological societies in the world. They found that they had to be at the top of their game because of constant cyber attacks from russia.
Putin might be putting on a show over in one place for the world to pay attention to but he and his ilk will always have another covert attack in progress. Putin, nor his followers, will never stop being the big bear bully.
Buzzrd bait, I’m pretty sure Putin was challenged by the Ukraine, and several times, at that. In fact, most of eastern Europe is eager to tell him off. Israel has and probably will. If they do, Germany will and likely Austria, possibly the Swiss, then Italy, France, Holland. If Holland does, more than likely the UK will, then Portugal. Strongly allied to Israel, Egypt, India, and Jordan. The Saudis formed a pact with Israel and India, and can easily hurt Iran and Russia by dropping oil prices. Same with Mexico. Central America usually agrees with Mexico. And I haven’t touched on most of Africa let alone Asia or South America. The last time Putin started a war with the Ukraine, he nearly lost and most of the votes in the UN went against Russia.
you don’t seem to follow….. anything modern red. Russians control the heating oil to most EU. Germany already basicly said they would give Putin what he wanted and they backed out. Turkey isn’t going to wage war with Putin and france is a joke as it stands. The Ukraine will fall and Putin will gain a foothold. I don’t really care either as long as the US stays the hell out of this.
It all bibilcal anyways it leads to the Maygd and Gyd wars that end up attacking isreal .
Has the world forgotten what happened in the Ukraine between WWI and WWII?
6 MILLION PEOPLE STARVED TO DEATH WHILE THEIR GRAIN WAS STOLEN AND USED TO PORTRAY RUSSIA AND COMMUNISM AS A GREAT SUCCESS TO THE WESTERN WORLD.
Russia needs the Ukraine as a food bowl. If Putin invades and nothing is done, he will be emboldened and it won’t stop there .
Phil: As far as I know, since abandoning socialism, Russia has plenty of food. No bread lines, no waiting hours to see a doctor. With oil and gas money flooding the country, he should shut up and play things as they are, not get greedy. niio
they didnt abandon it…. its still what china does commie’s to the death but heavy regulations to the corperations
John Caton and all,
If you don’t vote for the lesser of two evils then you are almost certain to end up with the worst of the two.
I absolutely cringe when I hear people say they won’t vote. Millions of Americans have been crippled, maimed for life and died to ensure the right for us to vote!
I also think people forget that if the lesser of two evils is not voted into office, it’s the other guy, the worst of the two evils, who gets to appoint Supreme Court Justices to the bench for life!
Yes, and Jesus died so I can be free of your dilusion.
John
JESUS, died not for a dilusion.
sad that you are so blind in your words…
Red Ant. READ. Jesus did not die FOR a delusion. I SAID, Jesus died to FREE me of a delusion. The delusion being the kingdoms of the world, which HE rejected when offered all of them by satan. How could satan offer them to Jesus unless he owned them? He owned them then, and owns them now. I know I keep repeating myself as do the other three or four commenters, but I’ll wait for this,
Revelation 11:15
“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever”.
This is my vote.
john
here is the real reason JESUS died.
He died for our sins so that we may have Eternal life.
Patrick: Wise thought. !
If someone doesn’t vote, how will they know their vote wasn’t stolen and used? One example is the Tom Daschle miracle. Lakota Rebubs got serious about how the dems were winning election after election in SD. Few people were found on any reservation or off-rez community who voted for the dnc. They started to study it and then had people infiltrate the SD dem party. As it turned out, Non-voters who never knew they were register to vote were registered only weeks prior to the election, then take off the books afterwards. If you don’t vote, you will by proxy. Dems did that with a lot of people forbidden to vote, nonwhites and so on. niio
GOD is in control.
not the dam demacraps or the repli cant,s or the elites or even satan or anyone else on this “dammed” earth.
GOD IS IN CONTROL
I’ve read enough
Putin was just on camera making it crystal clear that if Ukraine joins NATO and uses forces to drive Russia from Crimea and Eastern Ukraine, he will retaliate with nuclear war, and noone would win.
Regarding the above comments by left coast chuck on income taxes, please go visit the sampling of 100% refund checks by the IRS and 38+ state governments issued over the last 20 years, at LostHorizons.com, before you libel, slander, and smear the only one who has ever bad tbe correct arguments. Over $2 billion have been returned in 100% tax refunds by the IRS after informed, law abiding Americans rebutted the fraudulent information returns (1099s and W-2s) issued by the private sector since 2003. In fact, all such information returns issued by the private sector since the private sector started using such federal forms are fraudulent (and civil damages for fraudulent information returns can be recovered using 26 u.s.c. 7434), because they are done in reckless disregard of 26 USC 6052, which requires that only wages as defined in two other sections be reported on such information returns. Wages as defined in the code is a type of payment from a federal employer to a federal employee. And the definition of wages in the code primarily consists of exclusions of types of payment from federal employers to federal employees that are excluded from the definition of wages. The bottom line is the income tax in the US is uniquely an indirect excise tax, and has been so since Abraham Lincoln signed it into law. That’s why it is not apportioned, and that’s also why it’s only applicable to privileged economic activity that is gainful with a federal connection. It cannot apply to any earnings in the private sector. It is misapplied to the private sector but these fraudulent information returns can be rebutted with a proper tax filing and that rebuttal is how thousands of Americans have received 100% refunds over the last 20 years. Please get informed before smearing the information at LostHorizons.com with all the other well meaning, but incorrect folks of the past who had the wrong legal arguments.
You’re a fool, sorry. Hendrickson (Cracking The Code) followed his own ideas and ended up sentenced to prison and forced to repay all his back taxes. It’s much more effective to avoid taxes by engaging in barter and taking payment in cash. I hate government and taxes but you got to be at least a little smart about reducing your contribution to the criminals in charge.
The only decent tax rule they ever passed was when Trump doubled the personal deduction to 13%, that meant real money for the working class. Haha, I can just see him locking the door to the Oval Office bathroom and using a few sacred government documents as toilet paper. We knew he wasn’t reading in there!
Proverbs 18:13 says “When anyone replies to a matter before he hears the facts, It is foolish and humiliating.”. Your impoliteness is exceeded by your willingness to libel. Just like judge Nancy Edmunds failed to read Mr. Hendrickson’s book, so you have failed to read it. If you had actually read it you would be well aware that the book is not a representation of his ideas but is rather a tracing of the history and interpretation of the income tax, by the courts. And he became the first American in history to get a 100% refund of everything taken from his paycheck, by distinguishing between federal income and non-income revenues. If you are indeed a judge, your ignorance, or willful ignorance, is a large part of the problem facing this country, which has been gradually dismantled for decades by the communists and self serving devils and cowards in black robes who cave to blackmail and bribery. You are no doubt too young to remember when the private sector didn’t need to file tax returns, prior to the 1940s, when the need to do so arose after the feds pushed “withholding at the source” to “no taxpayers” in the private sector, but from 1913 until 1939 on average only about 4% of working money making people filed income tax returns and the reason is it was incumbent only upon federally connected income earners to file tax returns. If you want to get a good summary of the law then read my supreme court writ for certiorari. Your points about barter are good but the real problem begins the moment ignorant payroll departments in the private sector use federal forms such as W-2s and 1099s. They are engaging in constructive fraud and reckless negligence when they do this.
@ Brian
Thank you, for your most informative post on income taxes.
Thank you for correcting miss informed information that most have no clue about.
I find it funny when SMARTS are only to the person that thinks he has the correct aproch to down someone for just saying.
KEEP the info coming if you can…
Search the Bulletin Board page of LostHorizons.com for my name and you will see my filing and 100% refund, among the thousands of other refund checks. You will also find where the DOS tried to require me to provide my son’s SSN to renew his passport. There is an informative letter and attachments I sent them to inform them of Congress’s intent, and they backed down. I built off of information a previous scholar had, and improved upon it slightly. But the point is, intellectually lazy naysayers who call me a fool and misrepresent facts about Mr. Hendrickson’s incarceration by a corrupt, lying judge, need to be disregarded. No doubt judge Nancy Edmunds was bribed and blackmailed by the communists and deep state who have captured all branches of the government) where, in her kangaroo courtroom, the jury was lied to and kept from the facts. This is further proof he is rock solid in his arguments since the courts don’t want to address them. The courts refuse to litigate the issues because it will wreck the IRS’s racket and cut out the benefits of corruption by crooked courts. Please see the article “Justice in the Time of Corona” on Activist Post by investigative journalist Janet C Phelan, who specializes in exposing judges who launder bribe money through their real estate holdings. The corrupt judge Nancy Edmunds who threw Hendrickson’s wife Doreen into prison for failing to commit a court-ordered felony (perjury), was researched by this investigative reporter and found to have significant evidence of laundering bribe money through her massive real estate holdings. You can read about the court ordered perjury in wnd.com by searching there for Doreen. There was such a vicious attack against the Hendricksons because his research is rock solid and the proof is in the pudding (thousands of 100% tax refund checks on public display on his website received by people who rebutted such fraudulent information returns as issued by all private sector payroll departments), so take a spoon with you if you go look at the LostHorizons.com website, because there is alot of pudding there.
One thing that nobody else has brought up: Putin doesn’t need to fire one shot to bring the USA to it’s knees.
All Russia or China has to do is get a bunch of really good hackers and have them hack our infrastructure. Electrical, gas, government, banking, EMS…all of this stuff is vulnerable and much of it has been hacked before with so-called ransomware or has had “software glitches” or “human error” caused accidents or shutdowns.
A concentrated attack would shut down the entire country and cause thousands of deaths by lack of heating or cooling, (depending on the time of year), releasing raw sewage or harmful chemicals into the water supplies, shutting down emergency services and hospitals, interfering with air traffic, over pressurizing gas lines causing explosions, crashing self driving vehicles, trains or air craft…. I could come up with more, but I’m sure you’ve got the idea.
Imagine if ALL of these things happened at the same time… whoever the responsible party was, they could demand ANYTHING from our weak-ass government and get it, no questions asked.
For that matter, if it were an internal enemy, the same thing applies, and there is NOTHING in place to address the possibility, but our gooberment is setting up a plan to blow up a comet that is years away from POSSIBLY hitting us and probably won’t come close.
Russia invading Ukraine is just a convenient excuse for the government to enact “emergency war measures” to further stomp on our liberties. You’ll see.
Almost immediately, buydan signed an executive order to allow chyNa access to the electric grid. Day one. Hell, the first hour. I figured he expected the people to forget about this
most people can’t even tell you whats going on in the world but they sure know who’s the top signer in some stuipd tv show
Raven:
If there was any truth at all to any of the many allegations of illegal activity on the part of Trump, his family, his corporations and his campaign….. don’t you think that he would have been perp walked in front of the press? Dominated every news cycle for months? Been gleefully ripped apart by the MSM vultures, with Rachel Maddow eating his eyes and Don Lemon fighting Joe and Mika for the liver?
We would have heard NOTHING else BUT that.
But hey, believe that the press kept it quiet out of consideration for the innocent bystanders, or due to a lack of evidence or even that Trump is secretly a member of the Elites or the Illuminati or the Reptilians.
Kathy: and raven wannabe helped biden get in office.
Dems have a very simple rule, people are stupid and will believe anything fed to them. niio
Why is there no mention of the U.S. coup against the diplomatically elected government of Ukraine enabled and admitted to by Victoria Nuland in 2014? Was it perhaps an effort to hurt Russia’s economy by disrupting their natural gas supply to Europe through Ukraine? But more importantly would someone please explain to me why we must continue to see Russia as an enemy as we have been indoctrinated to do for 70 years? They are no longer a communist country and there is the potential to hurt us very badly. Why have we cancelled the treaties that brought peace, brought about by Reagan? Is it possible the power of an empire is slipping away and we must hurt others to try and maintain that power? It seems to me any effort to at least try to arrive at some compromise that will lessen the possibility of our destruction through nuclear war just makes common sense. Or is it all about money and our imperial rule as an empire?
Not voting is a sin? OMG, what should I do? Vote for satan, or vote for satan?
Seriously, it is true that not-voting allows a side to “win” whose supporters do turn out to vote. So what? We’re fed inconsequential “issues” to rally around, argue, and feel good or bad about when we win or lose. It’s all pablum, to keep us thinking the masses really have a role.
I’m a codger, as some of the others here are. I remember when Kennedy was labeled a bleeding-heart liberal and how his trip to Dallas was discouraged because of the conservative atmosphere of Texas, never mind the popularity of true Texas liberals like Lyndon Johnson and Senator Ralph Yarborough. Now, conservatives praise Kennedy. Goes to show, that the labels aren’t that real.
The defense of the second amendment was as hot back then as it is now. Don’t you think if “they” really wanted to take our guns, it would have happened by now? It’s just more pablum. The issues, the labels, the fears. It’s all just Machiavellianism.
Consequential issues are decided elsewhere, where neither you nor I have a vote. So, if it’s a sin not to eat pablum, I’ll beg forgiveness. and let the Judge decide my fate.
Well the reason why they don’t just “take the guns is simple ” the peasents might fight back. Instead you get the frog in the pot and we just chip away at it. Ourside is famous for “siding with a republican pres like regan bush SR JR and trump….. going well i voted for him so its ok to take away machine guns…. take away bump stocks YOU NEED TO give them something…… So a history of doing that and soon yes you will get the round up. Guess who’s going to turn them in…. The population will line up to get tax credits for firearms turned in. Our side will be filled with Jackass’es quoting i need to be a law abiding citizen…. as they turn them in.
With respect, the peasants (your word) don’t have enough firepower to effectively fight back. If gunowners were truly considered to be a threat to the real powers, guns would be gone. Your reasoning applied back when the second amendment was included in the Bill of Rights. Not now. But, it is a useful issue because it stirs emotion amongst freedom-loving people. Emotional issues stir people to vote, but it’s not different than a Friday night football game. Intense. Emotional. With agony and ecstasy, depending on the outcome. But, Saturday morning it just becomes a statistic without effect on anything else.
the most heavyly armed private citizens in the world…. can’t fight back lol ….. Our mlitary lost to cave people for 20 years and ended up giving up…… Our people lack the will to do anything because they rather have someone else do it for them. We live in a welfare society.
Heavily armed citizenry, even if they successfully resisted the government, wouldn’t touch the throne. Governments come and go. Governments are just convenient lending customers, and once debt is entrenched, elected government has little say about consequential decisions and policies. Look at the only thing that actually ever changes, the debt load of all governments to their respective central banks, regardless of which political party wins the football game. What is government’s greatest expense? Interest. From your taxes. Into the pockets of real power, over whom your vote and your elected favorite have no say. If the lenders were to feel threatened, all they have to do is shut off the lending and the value of your money goes to zero. Who has whom by the yang-yang?
John: reality check–don’t quote Bible when you know nothing of it. https://www.jcpa.org/dje/articles3/apl-ch1.htm is what I’m currently studying. If you do ever read the Bible, please note God said of fence-sitters, I will spew you out of My mouth.
Absolutely. It also draws attention away from Taiwan, the mandates, etc. Everything wrong in the elite suppression of the people.
Also a good way to hide the money going overseas to fund this disaster, which a large portion is returned to the Sanders, under the table. Wars and arms deals have driven the wealth of corrupt leaders for centuries.
Over the centuries, banks have financed both sides of conflict. Corporations, even in modern times, have sold to both sides of a conflict. Lots of wealth can be skimmed during conflict, hot or cold. Both sides, parties, pacs and media are raking in big money even in our right-left political conflict. Patriotism is something the people have, but is transcended when wealth is at stake. Wealth dictates policy, not votes.
John C: True. Banks are a business and what pays the best is their best bet. Wealth dictates liberal policy. Most wealthy are liberal outwardly. They go for whoever gives them the best chance to remain wealthy. A refusal to vote is a vote for what they want. As said, they can use you in ways your own mother would curse you for.
Well said
raven. you consider your self to be a warrior and you say you only train warriors.
I bet you would lose your ass, if it came right down to it.
if I am a sheep, witch I am. you surly are a coward.
tuck tail and run.
if you were ever in the military , then you were the reason our military sucked at that time.
I think you are a liar to say you were in the military.
stolden valor… <<<<<@raven. fake.
you would lose…….lose…..lose…. <<< You.
red ant: It’s no use trying to convince someone so liberal that they’re wrong. Each is a legend in their own mind. I can debate Muslims on religion but not a liberal on anything. Liberals know it all. niio
Latest intel about Russian- Ukraine situation here:
https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel
From my Private Investigator in Kyiv, a few hours ago, on the Russia Ukraine situation:
”
NATO aims to rise panic and to get budgets and support or european countries to Ukraine. Im for it.
Russia aims to finish gas pipeline Nord stream. And wants to make Europe more cooperative.
But seems they are failing ot that.
You need to understand that Putin has flushed billions to Europe and all their children live and study in Europe.
All this buzz is for internal use and to reach their local goals.
Each word about a war they say cost them billions. Last time their foreign minister mentioned something about a war and they lost 4billion on a market drop in a day, can you imagine what is gonna happen if they start invasion. Panic on a market will cause default in a day or two. And oligarhs will bring Putins head to Baiden on the next day
Except for that our army is not same one as in 2014. Only nuclear strike can help them to invade us. We have hundred thousands of experienced motivated soldiers. And when Putin raise stakes it add up to our motivation. So coffins will go to Russia in a great numbers. They had 2wars in Chechnya. And lost 2times. And Chechnya is of a size of our smallest region.”
lol ….. yeah no they have no intention of invading the united states really nobody does and when it comes… the left will welcome them into the ports with a white flag of help.
Our military doesn’t have the strength nor numbers… no experenice it did… we litterally lost a war to cave people and left a trillion dollars of equipment for enemies to take over and now …. have the new afganistan in africa kicking off…. a future “war on terror ” and pointless war… Other then the training units in the Ukraine we have no interest in this stupid war.. Its not our fight and really i can’t think of to many wars that really have been our… fight Other then WW2 in the lat 100 years is about it… Just elites making billions off the dead americans men and women dying for “freedom ….er no they died for the rich to get richer” We accomplished nothing in iraq…. nothing in afganistan …. so now what… get more of our people killed to keep the ukraine free…. let them have it. Not our fight our war…..
jackdaw: America has been invaded time and again in the 20th century. Japanese off the coast in WWII, and they built 2 bases in the Aleutians to prepare for an invasion of the coast. WWI and WWII, Germany was going to invade only to be pulled back. 2021-’22, how many hundreds of thousands coming over the southern border allowed by the man you helped get in the WH? what is the estimate, 25% are men of fighting age. That’s true of all the ‘refugees’ you man in the WH allowed in.
congrads Red…. and point to where the “russians are invading the US.” you seem to be a bit slow today..
The Germans only could hunt some ships during ww2 with subs… and even that didn’t last long. (the logistics of our oceans have helped out a lot.) Russian and China at this point have no need to invade the US. Its a pointless mission. When your people will just beg to have them save them.

My final comments on this subject. Next topic, please.
Sorry, I lied. I have one more comment. The similar writing styles make me wonder if Red Ant and Raven aren’t the same person. They sure like to attack each other while slipping bits of self-promotion in, such as Red Ant, referencing Raven’s YouTube Channel. Am I wrong or is this an example of controlling both sides of an argument, for an agenda? My apologies if wrong, but the styles and personal crosstalk engagement are eerily similar. By the way, I use my real name. No hiding, here.
funny John, that you would say that. I was thinking you and raven were the same. ? lol
apparently you are a very Poor judge of Character.
anyone. on here will tell you that I am not like or anything like Raven…
me and raven have our own issues and it started long before you came on the site. so don’t step in to what we have going on.
just understand We agree and We disagree. you can talk crap about things here and we can get mad at what was said, then we can respond. that is what’s so nice. we can voice our opioion whether good or bad. but we do hold back, to not go to far in our opinion.
hold on now. There are some that take it to far and say crap about stuff that should not be said. but we sometimes “ALL” say stupid stuff sometimes.
it’s part of being in a prepper site.
Very opinionated prepper web site.
Which it should be. I only want the truth when getting advise on how to learn how to survive… whether it hurts to hear what is said.
So, NO I am not Raven and you should have known that by now.
Red Ant, my apologies. However, your disagreement is not evidence of being different people. Controlling both sides of an argument is common as a way to manipulate people’s thoughts. The political parties do it every day. My suspicions grew from the similarity of writing style, grammar, punctuation and capitalization. That’s all.
@ John Caton
Well again, I stand on my words, that you really are a poor judge of carecter.
I can say that I never have said, Elohim in any of my post, but one time and that was yesterday. raven says it that way. not me…
His name to me is GOD. maybe you could go back and ck my post because, I use a capital letter in front of my GODS name and my JESUS name.. only if I don’t capitalize all of there name because to me they deserve at least that from me.
No one else dose that.
I stand up to the A- holes and surly are not afraid to call you out.
if I see you being a troll, I will call you out.
if I see you dodging on someone’s family, I will call you out.
if I see you just being a jerk, I will call you out.
Go back and read every post that I have ever posted on here and then you just might get the hang of it, on how to justify the difference between two people.
Raven has never said or ever has done or posted anything, like I have.
I truly fill that you said that because you wanted to bring something against me. so I would look like I am two people on here posting “trying to minitulate” all of these “good people” on here.
You are wrong and still a poor judge of character.
O’ by the way I HATE political parties and people that are part of satans regime.
My grammar and writing style is in a class by its self.
PS: I would have picked a FAR BETTER name then that lame ass name that he gose by…
Good luck with this that I have posted for you John Caton….
Good article. Would like more Effect on America info.
Elohim is a plural, so I’m not sure how you, Raven or Red mean it. All three of you used the term in the comments. Gods? Anyway, it’s just an observation, not a challenge of belief. GOD is a title, not a name, but I also say it because it’s generally understood.
john’ john
I’m not going to inlite you with your descution about what ever it is that you want to find. BUT…
if you want to talk about, how GREAT MY GOD and MY JESUS “is” , and there is “ONLY” one GOD…. thank you
I have a book that has every awnser that you are searching for.
I can tell you about what He’s done for me and many others, that I know. If you want.
other then that, I don’t know what you are looking for.?
I don’t use the spelling of Elohim, in none of my comments.
Elohim isn’t plural… it means God …. but if you read the scriptures which is a hewbrew to English translation that is a little more accurate in the translation. Where they don’t use the Term Lord….or anything like that. Man has done enough damage to the Bible by removing the books like Enoch and a bunch of other things and it really is disapointing.
There is only one Elohim….. One true path to salvation. Yes i do view Cathloics as a false worship and a not following the teachings of Jesus…and his father . Its a religion based on man’s traditions and greed…. and has no bearing on your salvation.
Hear, O Israel, the L-rd is our G‑ds, the L-rd is One.
Elohim is plural and always used that way in Hebrew.
One is echad, meaning a team or group that’s united.
Only God….. thus not plural
buzzard bait, the word god in Hebrew means holy. God Rausch, Holy Spirit. Elohim and Eloheinu are plural. There are 3 persons in the Godhead. Plural. 7 means complete, there are three 7s, three complete beings. Echad in the Shema means one as in one team.
site your verse to prove it other wise its just bs
Oh, raven droppings, sigh. https://www.scribd.com/document/40663295/Jesus-in-Every-Book-of-the-Bible
We can begin our study here. You are then allowed to ask questions in this schul. That’s from an old teacher, a messianic Rabbi.
Everyone:
Here’s a link to an article that speaks about the increasing erosions of all of our civil rights, especially to free speech. This directly effects all of us.
https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/disagree-with-government-policy-homeland-security-says-youre-a-terrorist-if-you-speak-out/
It doesn’t matter if you’re pro or anti vax, pro or anti mask or pro or anti gun. The point here is the restrictions on free speech and the outrageous overreach on the government’s part.
We can’t give an inch more, or soon we will be living in an old school Soviet style police state with better technology to surveil us and our very families and friends informing on us.
well it does matter … the 2A protects the 1A……. But you already have lost the 1A and free speech is gone.
raven, wow! If we lost 1A, then why are we here discussing this freely? 1A is as defined by the Constitution and that’s ratified by most states. Right now, biden’s doj is going after freedom states to shut them up.
Right on Miss Kitty,
People don’t seem to want to admit the direction we’re heading under this administration. Any government who censors, suppresses, silences any dissenting opinion is a socialistic-fascist-communistic government. Is there any hope for us? Will the trend be reversed with the mid terms? Not that I want to see an extreme shift to the right, but at least a reversal of the trend.
The last time the Ukraine compromised with Russia they lost territory to Russia. In the 1930s they compromised and millions starved to death. Putin isn’t just staring at the Ukraine, but staring down the world. Most nations would love to see an end to Russia and it’s colonies.
Most of the world would like to see the end of the U.S. empire but it’s not likely to happen without a world war.
Robert: Only the dictators. The world starves when the US is on her knees thanks to socialism. Every socialist nation is having serious trouble with protestors, and that’s nations like China were you get to be a lab rat for being anti-communist or go to a body parts gulag. yet, Let’s Go Brandon and F*ck Joe biden are being chanted at governments. Half the nations under the EU want out because their constitution isn’t like ours. Brexit was all about that. Australians are going to jail by the droves because they dare to protest the socialists. It’s hard to buy guns or ammo around Arizona thanks to Mexicans and Kali-fornians coming in and buying all they can, then smuggling it back home. Zulu have armed patrols up to keep the chicom-owned South Africans out of their nation. The world is at war against socialism, against Islam, and eager to buy arms. niio
Red : Our discussion is somewhat amusing. I think we agree on many aspects just not all, and that’s O.K. I voted for Trump in 2016 primarily due to the fact that he wanted to ease tensions with a very powerful, nuclear armed country that could hurt us very badly if not destroy us and it only made sense to try and insure a future for my children and grand children by renewing the treaties implemented by Reagan. But all of that aside I would love to hear your analysis on why Russia is our enemy. Why did they go from ally to enemy at the end of WWII with the signing of the Bretton Woods agreement which signed, sealed and delivered us as an empire ruling over 44 other countries which the Soviets refused to sign. Yeah, yeah I know their stance on capitalism and religion convinced most of us to see them as an enemy. But they are no longer a communist country after realizing communism doesn’t work. Being a pro 2nd amendment believer I think self defense is the most basic of all human rights. Don’t they have that right also? Didn’t we foment a coup d’ etat in Ukraine in 2014? Didn’t they give the people of Crimea a vote to go or stay? And on our Constitution, hasn’t there been a slow erosion or attack on our rights since the passage of the Patriot Act with it’s indefinite detention of American citizens? I await your reply.
Robert: You’ll have to show me when Russia was ever an ally. Not always an enemy, but all too often a bully. Do you know any Russians? If you know Russian history, then you know hitler and Stalin were deep friends. The war between them was about the high cost of Russian oil and nothing else. A small thing that dropped out of the mud of politics.
Prior to the war, if Stalin asked for something, Hitler was happy to oblige. For that matter, Japan and Russia were firm friends. Again the war between them was not what it was between the rest of the allies and nazis. For that matter, we dropped our first atomic bomb on Japan. It didn’t explode, and the Japanese handed it over to Stalin for concessions. On the other hand, when Patton invaded Thuringia and the nuclear labs at Ohrdruf, we wound up firing on Russian troops who were firing on us. Nice allies, huh? They came in shooting at their American allies. Not long afterward, Patton was assassinated. Before WWII was over, Stalin had moles planted in DC. By the 50s, the USSR owned Cuba and the PRI in Mexico.
Who in Russia under communism had the right of self-defense? If you were an elitist yes. Hitler was an elitist communist and that’s the communism that Stalin adopted and spread. Libs have been eroding the Constitution since was it published in a newspaper, The Pennsylvania Packet and Daily Advertiser, on September 19, 1787—two days after the Constitution was signed. To a lib, the Constitution is 3rd world toilet paper.
Russia has always had a greed to expand, to own and control. Peter the Great was the one to force all peoples in Russia into a nation. He attempted to colonize and took over a lot of nations. North Vietnam turned to them for help against Russia’s so-called ally, the US. The USSR sold them everything the NVA could afford to buy to kill us. Later, Vietnam kicked them out but kept them as allies. Read Sun Tzu if you want to the politics of war. Allies are not friends, he’ll tell you, but those who are used today, and tomorrow subject states and colonies. Learn history or you’ll repeat it.
Well Sun Tzu ….while his book is dated and stupid… Stated the Enenmy of your enemy is your friend. . so russian isn’t worred about China… they are not worried about NK….. nobody is its all big alliance of commie countries… and YES>>>. they are all still communist countries. Don’t pretend like the died off. They just went the path of a “corperation commumissm … Its still the great evil nation.
The world will not stand up against the Russians…. or Chinnese. The EU is weak and why would they go against countries share the same values and culture like the russians.
Red, I would offer the same advice to you about studying history there’s always more to learn. I have read many excerpts from Sun Tzu as well as the subject of the Molotov-Ribbentrop non aggression pact between Hitler and Stalin signed in 1939 and the non aggression pact between Japan and the Soviet Union signed in 1941 both of which were negated by Hitler’s invasion of Russia which you say was about oil. I say you’re only partly right and it was just as much about Hitler’s paranoid fear of invasion by Stalin which would have thrown a wrench into his plan for world domination, which came about anyway thank goodness. I can and will show you when Soviet Russia was an ally, how about during WWII, admittedly only a grudging ally which we supported through the lend-lease program. Had Hitler easily conquered Russia he would have turned his sights on England and then us. And we may have never been able to stand up to the most powerful and technologically advanced military in the world at that time.
So yes Russia helped us to defeat them simply by standing up to them. Have you ever heard the old statement “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”? Had Hitler not committed the bulk of his forces to invading Russia would there have been a D-Day or if so a successful one? And speaking of the negation of those treaties between Hitler and Japan, didn’t the Soviets help us by invading Japanese occupied Manchuria? You mention Peter the Great. Wasn’t he a self proclaimed emperor of a non communist Russian empire? If memory serves Russia became communist around 1917 due to the Bolshevik revolution which didn’t last but 80 or so years falling with the wall around 1990. Was Stalin a nice guy? Absolutely not but he did help us prevail over Hitler therefore making him somewhat of an ally. Similar to our allies in Syria, ISIS. Or our allies in Vietnam, the drug lords in the Golden Triangle of southeast Asia. Or how about our allies in Nicaragua, the cocaine producers. Which brings me to our 20 year occupation of Afghanistan during which the U.S. found itself with another heroin problem. My point? We are just another empire willing to do or say anything to maintain the power of an empire. I know quite a bit about history but like you I don’t know it all.
Lil sparrow, wow are you still a fledgling. Sun Tzu Art of War is studied military academies around the world. Everybody is worried about NK. The Kim family is famous for one thing, insanity. Throwing unlucky relatives to starving dogs is entertainment. Japan is investing in nuclear missiles because of Kim. Trump got the ball rolling where north and south would eventually again be one nation. Then your president stole the election and Kim screamed hate. No more negotiations. Much of Kim’s GNP goes to make more nukes. The loyalty of his troops is such chicoms haven’t tried to overrun the border in decades. Troops are trained like kamikaze, suicidal experts in martial arts, trained and all weapons and the Art of War. The only one he fears is Jesus. Get caught with a cross, you will die in a slave camp.
Hitler taught elitist communism, the leaders are like gods. That’s the socialism we face today. My mother-in-law escaped from East Germany and said Hitler was a communist. No difference between Stasi and Gestapo. The Gestapo came out of the Vugel Jungen, a gay rights youth club based on violent rape/Sparta. The founder, Ernst Rohm, was made head of the Jungen until too many boys died under his heel.
FDR loved Hitler but said he was too violent. He wanted to follow Lenin’s communist manifesto. The modern DNC uses both forms of revolution, high taxes and fees, and the brownshirts. The world knows where all this is leading and is in revolt, in case you missed it. You might want to see what’s up ion Ottawa, Cape Town, Mumbai, Dakar, London, Berlin, all over Australia, Hanoi and the rest.
LOL welcome to history everyone knows FDR was a facist hitler lover so was the kennedys . Nobody cares if North Korea makes a nuke….. they don’t have the power to project anything else. They only want it for the same reason everyone here does.. Its line in the sand defense.
The insanity ….. sure and so is biden but there isn’t going to be a united korea and that’s pretty bold to think the trump world you live in would of done it. The worldis on fire and falling apart and yeah the trucker thing is cool but my guess they fold before the gov does..
The best we can hope for is a speration or succession. split away and let them have their commie land and our libertertain land
Robert: Oh, I do pretty good about history. For that matter, a love of the study got me into manuscript research and editing. I can spend hours looking for one small fact or entire scripts. By summer, I’ll need another computer. This one is getting overloaded with research.
Stalin needed oil to move forward the massive USSR industrial complex. Anything extra was sold to Hitler at the inflated price of 1 USD/barrel. What does Sun Tzu say of allies? Expendable. Useful for a time.
There was no way Hitler would have conquered the USSR. He was forced to fight on 3 fronts, and then the Warsaw ghetto revolted being marched away to death camps. It threw the nazis into a panic. The revolt spread to every death camp they controlled. A lot of German troops hated nazism and helped where they could.
Agreed, Germans were the most advanced military at the time, but run by seances and New Age power mongers. Himmler’s Ahnenerbe-SS warped into the occult Karotechia. Death camps were places people were sacrificed to the old gods, who nazis believe to be ascended masters from Aldaberan in the Pleiades. Outside of nazis, I do not know a single New Ager with anything but disgust for nazism, but talk about hitler channeling Lucifer and they get very quiet.
Peter the Great was the one, the number one, emperor of Russia. Where others only raided neighboring nations, he conquered them and created an empire. His ancestry as a king stretches back to the time Vikings were run out of China. That was, if memory serves, well over a thousand years ago. He set the slate, ordering descendants to expand the empire until they ruled the world. If he came across an immovable people, he withdrew and spied on them. Equal forces were bullied if he could. If not, allied for a time then removed. Putin is playing the same game.
You can claim the US is just another empire and do not show that it is, but show odd moments in history. The dnc has always forced itself on nations. Teddy R., though, said a small nation treated with respect is a strong friend. Dems love satellite states as much as Russians.
I don’t need to know it all about history, but love to talk, to discuss, to learn. Go to New York City, or Scranton, PA, and into immigrant ‘hoods and learn. Many of California ‘s immigrants came from Russia or satellite nations. Many from all over Asia. Learn form them what their former homes were like. what’s happening today. they know because family ties are strong.
Chicken spattered: Well, certainly Japan, Russia, Alaska, Kalifornia, and everyone else in reach of Kim’s ICBMs have nothing to worry about. You said so.
You really need to stop listening to enemies of the US, Jackson, Sharpton, biden, pelosi and other sources you use.
As an American, I will always look for a good reason to stay American. I could live in Mexico and live very well with fam down there. Unlike you, I was raised to be an American and loyal to the nation.
Red, I somewhat respect your knowledge but it starts faltering with name calling. Normally people who’s argument or position on issues resort to name calling which means their argument is starting to crumble and they can no longer provide data, facts and evidence. To allude to the fact that I may not be a patriot hurts, ouch……. I too have a hard drive full of research that the average person doesn’t begin to understand and most of all I understand what a patriot is and after reading many documents from our founding fathers have nothing but the utmost respect for what they tried to accomplish with the creation of the Constitution and it’s Bill of Rights which has been whittled at since it’s creation. So when you allude to the fact that I may not be a patriot you start to sound like those progressive liberals who began their attack many years back by calling patriots “white nationalists like Hitler”. Our journey is long and very complex and neither you nor I will ever know or understand all of it. At least I’m willing to admit it, are you?
You say I have no evidence of empire, well stick with me grasshopper and maybe you can learn more. In order to understand what an empire is you need at least a rudimentary understanding of economics, both the fundamental mechanics as well as the history. In order to understand you must study the rise and fall of the past empires, both how they became and why they fell, the Romans probably the greatest in history. And I don’t mean great because of their integrity but because of their success and longevity. They built the mightiest military in the world and then set about conquering the world, but when that military became too expensive to maintain they started inflating their currency. Of course you know all of this already I’m sure. They say history may not always repeat but it rhymes. Which just basically states that everything revolves around money. Well our status as an empire is slapping us in the face daily, we just have to see and accept it. Does $30 Trillion in debt with the highest inflation in 30+ years ring any bells? Or how about legislators that seem to focus more on legal bribery called lobbying than the welfare of it’s people and economy? I know that you with all of your knowledge already know all of this but let me recap a few points in our rise to empire status. The Bretton Woods agreement which made our U.S. dollar the world reserve currency backed by gold, which the socialist FDR confiscated from the people around 1933. Two military adventures which were none too successful (Korea and Vietnam) which damn near bankrupted us causing Nixon to remove us from the gold standard lest those 44 countries lose faith in our dollar and our ability to run an economy. But never fear a new standard was on it’s way, the petrodollar negotiated by Kissinger with the Saudi’s who agreed to support our empire by demanding payments denominated in U.S. dollars.
Speaking of research are you aware of the creation of the Federal Reserve system and who influenced it’s creation? Silly question, of course you do. Do you remember the routine argument surrounding our budget of 2014 and the fear of having to shut down our government and the need to raise our debt ceiling? It happens every time. Well I downloaded the entire 2014 budget with it’s 750 or so pages just to see what’s in it, and believe me it’s the little things that matter. The budget was influenced by Wall St. lobbyists(primarily Citigroup) who inserted legislation guaranteeing another taxpayer bailout just like in 2008. So is there any collusion between Washington, Wall St., and the Fed? I’ll let you answer that. So, are we an empire focused on the need for a rapidly declining dollar? Do we violate the scripture about the love of money being the root of all evil? Whatever you decide please stop reverting to name calling or I will have to stop replying to a very interesting discussion, not because you won but because of loss of respect for you and your talking points. I don’t know where you’re at but it’s past midnight here and I’m old and sleepy. Goodnight.
Robert: Then please stop name-calling. Only somewhat respecting knowledge is asinine and insulting. It’s like being a little bit pregnant. I’m very sorry if you’re having a bad hair day, but please, leave the false pride and innuendos at home. I’m 65 and was raised by people who love knowledge and learning.
KISS is excellent advice from college; keep the research simple. Mine is done for pay, for the fun of it, for love of both history and the future. Any who accesses this research is soon able to see what’s where. All research is taken from as wide a number of places and people as possible. You study what you have, then make decisions. That bit of wisdom, a rabbi told me, is from God to the fool, Solomon.
Do not twist my words. I never said you have no evidence of empire, but have nothing to prove it in our time. While dems, again, love satellite nations as much as Russia, repubs do not like to pay for allies.
Again, you’re wandering and assuming. No, 30 trillion means nothing to the case of empire.
No, FDR took us off the gold standard. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/fdr-takes-united-states-off-gold-standard Under Nixon, democrats simply allowed banks to refuse to pay in gold. https://bancroft.berkeley.edu/ROHO/projects/debt/terminationgolddollar.html They also allowed for confiscation of gold. Liberals love to vilify Nixon because of his hatred for socialism.
If you’ll look at Trump, he signed away any rights banks had to be paid off because of dem stupidity, like the right to get a loan no matter what. Thusly, biden had to bring it back. Bring your knowledge up. Read everything, look into everything. Wisdom comes with the advice of many advisors.
The thing that I found disturbing was that one the news tonight, they pointed out that Russia has brought up medical units quite close to the border. It doesn’t seem like they would do that unless they were expecting casualties, but to those of you who are either ex-mil or currently serving – is this a normal part of “war games” or drills or whatever Russia claims they’re doing?
its not a war game at this point…. its a matter of when and they do have serveral field hosplitals setup.
Red Germany might of recalled the rape that happened when they got sacked but it wasn’t like they didnt put 10 million russians in the gas chamber either. War is hell and now they really will bend the knee to russia. Turkey has gone full islamic and does side with Russian’s over a few things like a hate for Isreal in the last decade or so . They don’t want a fight with them either. NK isn’t running off China or Russians who basicly are the their only trading partner of coal. Who else is supplying them with nuclear equpment. Don’t forget you have Iran watching….. and they basicly are taking over iraq as well.
birdy: Yes, I see. You have all those family members in Germany like I do LOL. You watch der Welle and read papers from around the world. You need to slow down and study prepping, instead. Putin is testing the water.
Miz Kitty, war is a game of chess. The better you crowd your opponent the better chance of winning without firing a shot. You read Sun Tzu. It’s required for officers who study military. Putin may be serious, but he also has the chicons at his belly and the rest of Eastern Europe. When faced with real opponents, Russians always withdrew. When the world came against him the last time, Putin fell back. niio
Red, touch a nerve did I? My dwindling respect was based on your inference that I get my information from Biden, Pelosi, Jackson and Sharpton. Bad hair day? Doubtful. You see I will very soon be 68 years old and raised by people who taught me the love of reading and learning.
My sources are many including declassified documents taken right from the U.S. archives as well as many respected historians. Repubs don’t like satellites? Then why do they agree to raise the debt ceiling to continue spending on foreign aid? How many Reps continue to approve billions of dollars to Israel when our country is practically bankrupt. Because we buy our allies. I don’t think there’s much difference between Dems and Reps in Washington. I will admit you did correct me on one point where I failed to elaborate, $30 trillion does not indicate an empire, it indicates a failing empire just like Rome. You say we were taken off of the gold standard in 33 because the history channel says so? I must disagree. Read the language of the Bretton Woods agreement where it guarantees convertibility of U.S. dollars to gold at $35 per ounce. That is precisely why 44 countries were convinced to sign the agreement which pegged their currency to the U.S. dollar which was itself pegged to gold. That is why de Gaulle repatriated $3 billion in gold between ’62 & ’65 due to his fear of our ability to repay our debt that we were incurring by financing Korea and Vietnam. That my friend is a de facto gold standard. So whether de facto or de jure, if it quacks like a duck…….. Nixon closed the convertibility window thereby ending the de facto gold standard. In fact there is still quite some importance of gold reserves which many countries like Germany and Austria are asking to repatriate from our vaults, if it’s really there. And as far as empires. Any country who’s currency holds world reserve status and can weaponize it through sanctions denying U.S. dollars through the Swift banking system is, I’ll whisper it, an empire. Even if it is a failing one when it’s GDP is based on $30 trillion of debt and highly inflated at that. So Trump, who I voted for by the way, signed legislation that cancelled the CitiGroup influenced legislation passed within the 2014 budget allowing for FDIC money to bail out Wall St. That’s one I did miss. Please send me a link to that piece of legislation if you would and you’ll have me in your debt. https://onlinebusiness.northeastern.edu/blog/what-is-the-bretton-woods-agreement/
Robert: Bad hair day, again? LOL, I don’t have any nerves left to be burnt. Where I come from, we call Mom etsi. It also means a mother wolf. I lived on what has been known from ancient times as the Demons’ Road. It comes down from Satan’s Hell to the Demon Lands across the Dark Spirits river. Mohawks still call us the witch people. One grandmother was from an area in W. Virginia called the Willies. Outsiders still disappear there; the old hungry gods are well fed. Her grandmother was run out of Cherokee country before the Civil War for sacrificing someone kid. I saw my first dismemberment at age 11, and my first suicide at age 5. As a kid decades ago, if a ‘skin dared raise his head he lost it.
The only reason you’re still writing is because you’re angry that I refuse to kowtow. Grow up. My sources work in DC and we communicate. It’s called the pow wow grapevine. When your emails start taking 3 day to get to who you sent them to, then bug me. When letters take 2 weeks to go across country, the same. I had A clearance from Army and my kid was headed for Army Intelligence, then CIA along with his bro. One of his uncles was a major in AI. His bro’s father was high up in the CIA. I have family in the FBI for that matter. That hardly makes me an expert, but I can go to experts and at times they come to me.
I was reading at age 4, so what’s your point? My parents read to us from Heinlein and others. I’ve been back to college several time and am now taking courses in Criminal Psychology. You talk like a liberal so I have to say you are one and not trustworthy.
When FDR was in office, gold was 28USD/oz. Again, learn history. We were off the gold standard for years prior to what your article claims. https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2021/01/25/the-gold-standard-ended-50-years-ago-federal-debt-has-only-exploded-since/?sh=55d2f3341e17 So we need to rethink what you’re getting at.
Russia owns gold. China owns gold. S. Africa was on the gold standard. So what? All use fiat money today just like we do. 30 trillion debt is horrendous. We never disagreed on that. Dems have passed law after law against debt only to ignore the laws. It’s called power grabs. Read the Communist Manifesto to see why they do it. Read Table Talks by Hitler for what they are.
De Gaulle did what? He demanded we repay gold to France, not repatriated to the US. Your whisper of empire is well placed. Say it aloud and people will laugh at you. Only liberals still claim that.
Actually Red I would lose all respect for you if you were to kowtow to me it would tell me you have no courage of your convictions. But I do think you are trying to anger and/or insult me by continually calling me a liberal. Actually I don’t swear allegiance to any political party, that’s the most ignorant thing for anyone to do, it places you in a herd with the other sheep. And your family pedigree makes you what? smarter? more intelligent? My father worked at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory during the war never once willing to tell us what he did there, probably from shame of what came out of there and how it was used. The only country to use nuclear weapons in history. The only question is why they were used which you will never find in writing anywhere, only the government narrative as to why. I would advise you to continue your education of history. Gold was priced at $20.67 per ounce until after the confiscation was completed then priced at $35. The first bailout of the government by the people. Do you possibly think Republicans don’t raise the debt by borrowing? If so you’ve drank too much of the Kool Aid. Yes Dems might borrow more but go back and look at their records since Kennedy. The debt doubled under Bush, who by the way sat at the top of my list for worst presidents in modern history until supplanted by the current president, then Obama more than doubled the debt. Only people who know nothing about economics and history would laugh at the idea of he U.S. as an empire, I whispered for you. Do you know why we invaded Iraq and Libya? Could it be because they both threatened to sell their oil in other than U.S. dollars which is a direct threat to the power of empire? We are following in the footsteps of the Roman empire, the desperation for money becoming obvious daily. Our threats of sanctions are declining in strength as our debt rises along with the inflated currency making us the laughing stock of the world.

Robert: Nope. This is a discussion not an argument. I do not argue but present fact. Were I a sheep, I’d be a Franklin lamb. He said democracy is like 2 wolves and a lamb discussing what to have for dinner. Freedom is a well-armed lamb. Liberals do not accept freedom and so do not thrive under a conservative government.
Were you ever around where I was raised, you’d find pretty much everyone with the same attitude. Ye olde family pedigree makes us somewhat callous and able to move into any scenario without having heart palpitations. That you need to ask about it shows sign of anger and a touch of fear. When my daughter moved to NYC, she was awed at how friendly and good people were, compared to home.
Now you again drop into sneering. LOL, I do manuscript research. AKA a college degree. I said 1910.
I’m not going to babble about debt. As I already said, and you decided to ignore that, any debt is bad. If that’s all you have to go on, why bother to continue this? Many words do not help you. Constantly repeating what you’ve said several times make you look silly and uncertain.
https://nma.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/historic_gold_prices_1833_pres.pdf
Repatriation means home-coming.
Sounds like you’re a little angry and sensitive. You’re reading something into my words that aren’t there. Silly and uncertain? You always resort to name calling like people who aren’t sure of themselves. The neighborhood you describe is just like where I live, freedom loving, rights respecting, all well armed, but would drop everything to help a neighbor in need. Fear? At my age I fear very little. Nuclear war ? Yes but not for me, for my children and grand children. Home coming as in gold going home.
Robert: Not me. All you can do is try to twist what I say. I have had heart surgery. Had more surgery this morning. Angry I do not get. For the most part, emotions get you killed. That’s a teaching from the ancestors. I abide by God, who is my peace. I forgive you for lying about me.
My ‘hood is Indian Country. Metis, Mestizo, full-bloods, gvinakii. Yeah, a lot of whites, but most of them are liberals. We work hard, say grace before meals, help when help is needed but always remember, a handout is not a hand up. We practice Korema Law, the brotherhood of all people. That was why Columbus claimed we were the lost ten tribes of Israel. We’re not. Most of the tribes are in southern Africa.
Nonsense. I do not judge, but how you speak means more than what you say. Emotions drag on worlds. Psychology 101. That’s why I can laugh when you accuse me of being like you. We’re 2 people each with our point of view. Never judge someone to be like yourself.
Why fear anything? Fear is the mind killer, something Jesus pointed out.
Oh and by the way when a country asks for it’s gold back from our vaults it called repatriation.
Robert: The gold standard post liberal theft was in jewelry and illegal possession of bullion. We’re discussing the nation, not wedding bands.
Test Text to see if it posts
Biden wants war because that is his ONLY prayer of winning reelection in ’24. Putin and XI have met in Beijing very recently and have established economic trade agreements including bypassing the USD and trading in yuan and rubles. Putin doesn’t want an expensive conventional war and certainly not nuclear war; but neither will he stand for Ukraine becoming a NATO country. China wants Taiwan. Should Russia invade Ukraine, China will invade Taiwan; and the USA will either be looking at war on two-fronts across two oceans or will capitulate with imposing sanctions which won’t do any good. China has nearly all the manufacturing; thanks to all the Multi-national corporations moving manufacturing from the USA to China with “Free Trade” (slave labor) agreements and Russia has surplus fossil fuel energy. Both Russia and China have become emboldened due to the Afghanistan withdraw capitulation fiasco; and Biden’s incompetence.
why ? its not like voting matters and trump lost the confideince of the base.. Sure you have the 15 percent die hards who think anything maga or trump said is god…. but thats not even close enough to win a election. It just makes them the same fools the left has.
birdy: Read the conservative news, not liberal nazism. Trump is gaining votes from all sides, just as Reagan did against Carter, and for the same reasons.
I agree with you 100% Dennis, but look at this angle. Biden will attempt to keep us out of actual combat while pushing Japan & S. Korea to engage just like he’s doing with NATO. All the while shipping tons of equipment to both places making the deep state happy and filthy rich. It’s a win win for military industrial complex.
Robert, yes! Covid is almost a thing of the past, omicron is doing opposite what they hopes. All that’s left is a hope of war, a fear of it.
Dennis: Smokin’ Joe is a figurehead who did what they wanted. Now they want him gone well in advance of the 2022 midterms. Trudeau is screwing things up for the dnc here by acting like a frightened, spoiled brat. Putin has his own problems and Xi may be replaced after he has a terrible accident, something well-known to happen to bad chicom leaders. niio
it doesn’t matter who runs…. they control the votes…. and elections are pointless… Our foundes would of been up in arms but they did warn us about this.
Oh well when the ATF this summer goes after the pistol braces and 80 percenters . i am sure the fudds on this group will appulade they didn’t touch the useless 1911 and m1 garand.
