British for the British hate speech crime prosecute and throw in jail. Greenland for the greenlanders bravo... isn't it ironic?

[whiteswan]

The crackpots latest comments have caused a s**t storm ,what an arsehole.

I usually take his comments with a pinch of salt but to insuit our heroes in our Armed Forces angered me

[Sean_Nile]

Woke is the opposite of common sense....

Minor details though in Trump's infantile mind..

I think that this is why Trump admires Putin so much - they are both basically fascists.

Absolute madman: the end...

Remains the biggest man baby, orange faced numpty on the planet.

For a man who consistently , bullies ,belittles and insults others he's extremely thin skinned.

he's a classic malignant narcissist.
He's literally a 79 year old toddler throwing a tantrum.

A non compos mentis fascist.

The Parasitic Mind argues that certain modern ideas behave like mental parasites, hijacking human reasoning and undermining truth, science, and individual freedom.

Gad Saad claims these “idea pathogens” spread through academia, media, and culture by rewarding moral posturing over logic, leading people to suppress evidence, silence dissent, and adopt beliefs that ultimately harm society.

Drawing on evolutionary psychology, he defends reason, open debate, and scientific thinking as the immune system needed to resist these corrosive ideas.

It is all about the conflict between the emotional mind and the rational mind... and in the end we become the ideas and media that we consume.

There's a big difference between spouting nonsensical " progressive " ideas, and recognising Trump's toxic ideology for what it is.

And fascism and ultra nationalism are not exactly " modern ideas. " Ultra nationalism spouted in the 19th and 20th centuries, and was the main cause of two world wars. It replaced religious fanaticism after the European religious wars as the main way that toxic group identity between human beings bring about conflict and mass murder.

Fascism originated in Italy in 1919. Trump respects Putin, because they both share a fascist ideology - the cult of the " charismatic " strong arm leader. Notice how the USA ( under Trump) Russia, China and North Korea have created societies based on militarism and the promotion of strength and power in the zero sum game of survival of the fittest between nations.

I presume that you ,lean towards libertarianism ? I wonder how you square that with Trump's version of federalism ?

" The intersection of the federal state and authoritarianism, often characterized by the rise of "federated autocracy" or "subnational authoritarianism," involves the strategic repurposing of democratic federal institutions to serve a centralized, hegemonic order. While federalism is traditionally designed to divide power and protect local autonomy, it is increasingly being used to facilitate the consolidation of power, allowing central leaders to use compliant regional governments to suppress dissent while maintaining a facade of democracy.

I read that WW1 was a bankers war aimed at protecting banking empires as well as increasing their power and wealth in the west. WW2 was just the second half of the same conflict with Germany then removing itself from the international banking empire of conflict, suffering and profits, preferring instead to go it alone with a new currency that the international money speculators couldn't speculate over. Thus this modern banking model had to be crushed before it spread across Europe.

Trump today has his tariff threats and sanctions against other nations that try to go financially independent from the US dollar, but then conflict brews and military action is threatened upon these rogue nations.

Western banking systems are antiquated and in debt keeping it's subjects paying just the interest of this huge debt through taxation with the Royal stamp of approval. Sections of the left are realising this and that if they keep repeating the same mistakes of the past they will have to keep reliving the horrors of international conflicts, wars and suffering long into the future. Hate isn't the answer, reasoning is, but how does one bridge the political horseshoe when the streets are swarming with emotional political infants?

Hitler's " economic miracle " of the 1930s was down to Germany racking up colossal debt. He then invaded the countries that Germany borrowed the money from - that's one way to cancel out debts. The Nazis then plundered the wealth of those countries, even down to stripping them of valuable art etc. Why do you think Hitler invaded Russia other than to get hold of the oil and other natural resources ?

And WW1 was primarily caused by nationalism and through the large powers tying themselves up in complicated alliances. There had been a big arms race between Britain and Germany prior to war breaking out - and once one country declared war, the alliances countries had hooked themselves up with immediately dragged other countries in.

Hitler's " economic miracle " began on 30 January 1933, then 4 long years later the people began benefiting from this new 'Nationalised' banking system that internationalist money speculators were forbidden from manipulating at the peoples expense. It was during the Weimar republic of 1919 / 1933 that huge debts were incurred causing hyper inflation, 90% unemployment and the political violence from the infants ruining the streets of Berlin.

Regarding the invasion of Russia. One should listen to the soldiers reasons as to why they invaded Russia. They speak of halting the Westward advance of Soviet Socialism across Europe all the way to the shores of Calais. Only the Wehrmacht stood in the way of Soviet Socialists after the peace treaty ended and the German leadership then agreeing to attack before Russia was fully prepared to begin its offensive.

WW1 was organised by the elites creating friendships that promised help should the other be attacked. Article 5 of NATO is our modern version. Were these signed agreements all just a coincidence or were they designed for future conflict, more misery and greater profits?

Re the Weimar Repubic ; "by 1924, a great deal of monetary and political stability was restored, and the republic enjoyed relative prosperity for the next five years; this period, sometimes known as the Golden Twenties, was characterized by significant cultural flourishing, social progress, and gradual improvement in foreign relations. "

Re Barbarossa ; if you look at studies into the subject, generally speaking, Wehrmacht soldiers were motivated by a sense of solidarity amongst soldiers - the desire not to lets their mates down etc, rather than from any strong ideological convictions. Once they were given their orders to invade Russia, that's what they did. German culture had traditionally always been about being obedient to authority, no matter what that authority was. However the motivation for invading came from the top. It was different with the SS - but they didn't make up the bulk of the German army.

" Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime built up massive, unsustainable debts during the 1930s, primarily driven by rapid, secret rearmament and public works programs. This policy, sometimes referred to as a "Ponzi scheme" or a "shell game," was designed to boost the economy and prepare for war, bringing Germany to the brink of fiscal ruin by 1938–1939.

How the Debt Was Built ;

Deficit Financing (Mefo Bills): To hide the massive costs of illegal rearmament from international observers and avoid inflation, Hjalmar Schacht, the Reichsbank President, created a scheme using "Mefo bills" (promissory notes). These bills allowed the government to pay for weapons without issuing currency, concealing roughly 12 billion Reichsmarks of debt from 1934 to 1938.

Rearmament Priority: Military spending was the top priority, rising from 1% to 10% of national income within the first two years of the regime. By 1939, 70% of government expenditure went toward the military.

Infrastructure Projects: The Nazis took credit for infrastructure projects, such as the Autobahn, which were largely planned by the previous Weimar government but accelerated through deficit spending.

The Financial Situation (1933–1939)
Revenue vs. Expenses: Between 1933 and 1939, total revenue was 62 billion RM, while expenditures reached over 101 billion RM, creating a massive deficit.

Public Debt: By 1939, the public debt had reached 38 billion Reichsmarks.
System Failure: The system was on the edge of collapse by 1938 because a large portion of the Mefo bills were coming due, leading to a severe cash shortage. "

It's not hard to see why Hitler invaded in Poland in 1939 - his house of cards built on sand was about to collapse...

"Mefo bills" (promissory notes).

I'll take the copy and paste with a grain of salt, yet it still points towards Germany not borrowing from private banks. It is a debt though and needs to be honoured within the agreed time frame or the economy could be negatively impacted.

Before I revert to the Everton game, consider what the accounts of German soldiers were on the eastern front. Listen to these old veterans explaining that they were the only thing defending Europe against communism spreading westwards. They knew that once France fell Russia had the capability to then deploy 1M paratroopers onto British airfields and claim a victory for communism over capitalist western Europe. Russia ended up only controlling eastern Europe after the allies defeated a financially independent Germany.

Bottom line is that Hitler's 1930s " economic miracle " was all smoke and mirrors, and he needed to start invading other countries, and stripping them of their wealth before the whole thing came crashing down around him when those Mefo bills became due....

Smoke and mirrors is a bit rich considering workers from all across Europe came to Germany, rather than toiling in the Russian workers paradise. During our time Polish workers rushed into modern Britain to earn wages comparable to 10 times what they earned in Poland and 80 years ago Berlin also paid wages that foreign workers couldn't resist. These wages weren't paid from the proceeds of war spoils because war didn't start until 1939, that's nearly 7 years later.

Regarding the pictures of treasures found in old mines, underground bunkers, etc. How do we know they were stollen arts, treasures. We're they just hidden to protect European history from the bombing raids, fires, etc? If stollen how were they to be sold when an international economic embargo began in 1933?

Again listening to the German they declared financial independence and promissed help to any nation on earth that declared their Socialism and national independence from the money speculators and financiers of world orders. This is why war raged in Europe, spreading to the Middle East and the Far East.

Lastly, being born an independent thinker or 1 to every 9 followers (it's how nature works), I sense that there is something not quite right about the narrative. Reading and thinking helps one to make more sense from the nonsense offered.

[malcolmw]

I wonder how many "Republicans" or "Conservatives" would have the balls to watch this to the end.

[Irish Ian]

Im a bit disappointed today.

Because of the ice bomb thingy in the US, the iguanas are falling out of the sky.

Let me explain.

The iguanas are an invasive species. They are essentially eating Florida. They just climb over the wall and enter illegally from Mexico.
The ice bomb thingy is a result of climate change.
Climate change is a result of Trumps drill baby drill policy.

Therefore Trump is directly responsible for protecting Floridians from Dinosaurs.

And has anyone thanked him for his unfathomable wisdom?

No.
