Kunstler: The Swamp Drains Trump
The Washington political scene is looking less like The Apprentice and more and more like the old Marlon Perkins Wild Kingdom show, with giant crocodiles slithering down the muddy banks to encircle Donald Trump paddling fecklessly in his leaky dugout while a chorus of angry birds shrieks in the surrounding treetops. Yes, it really looks that bad all of a sudden for Ole Number 45, the Golden Golem.
RussiaGate is flaring to a toxic shock level event. Everything that spun out of Monday’s House Intelligence Committee hearing made all parties look bad. The spooks are everywhere and nowhere. The spooks are leaking to the press. The president is tweeting instead of governing. The two parties are literally at war in congress, and the news media is playing it all like a Stockhausen cantata for kazoo and trashcan lid.
One can’t help marveling at the way the “Russian interference” motif has shifted the spotlight off the substance of what Wikileaks revealed about Clinton Foundation and DNC misdeeds onto Trump campaign officials “colluding” with Russians, supposedly to support their interference in the election. It’s true that the election is way over and the public is no longer concerned with Hillary or her foundation (which is closing shop anyway). But the switcheroo is impressive, and quite confusing, considering recently retired NSA James Clapper just two weeks ago said on NBC’s Meet the Press that there was “no evidence” of collusion Between Trump and Russia. Okay… uh, say what?
On Monday, FBI Director James Comey revealed that his agency had been investigating the Trump Campaign since at least last August. Is that so…? Investigating how? Some sort of electronic surveillance? Well, what else would they do nowadays? Send a gumshoe to a hotel room where he could press his ear on a drinking glass against the wall to eavesdrop on Paul Manafort? I don’t think so. Of course they were sifting through emails, phone calls, and every other sort of electronic communication.
Trump’s big blunder was to tweet that he’d been “wiretapped.” Like the FBI patched into a bunch of cables with alligator clips in the basement of Trump Tower … or planted a “bug” in the earpiece of his bedside phone. How quaint. We also don’t have ice boxes anymore, though plenty of struggling weight-watchers across the land speak guiltily of “raiding the icebox.” But if it’s true, as Mr. Comey said, that the FBI had been investigating Trump’s campaign, the people around him, and Trump himself, since August, how could they not have captured some of Trump’s conversations?
Anyway, the action on Monday shifted to the question of how General Michael Flynn was “unmasked” after the CIA recorded a phone conversation between him and the Russian ambassador. (The CIA is expressly forbidden from spying on US citizens, and anything overheard incidentally when bugging foreigners is supposed to remain suppressed or “masked.”) Somebody at the CIA just handed the info straight to The New York Times, The WashPo, and CNN. That story broke in back in January. How come the CIA has not rooted out the culprit and handed him/her/zhe over to the Department of Justice?
For the record, apart from the General Flynn matter, I have no idea what connections Trump & Co. may have had with Russia before, during, or after the election. But nobody has yet demonstrated that the allegations about Hillary, her email, her foundation, the DNCs treatment of Senator Sanders, or the John Podesta letters were anything but truthful, either, and that was why Hillary lost the election.
It is also worth considering that candidates for high office in all advanced nations have relationships with people in other countries. It’s not against the law per se to speak to people in Portugal, Singapore, Germany, Argentina, and a hundred other places, including, yes, Russia — which, by the way, is no longer a communist imperium bent on world domination, though Senator Chuck Schumer would like you to think so.
Then, on Wednesday, House Intelligence Committee chair Devin Nunes (R-Cal) told the news media that an “unnamed source” in the Intel community informed him that Trump had indeed been surveilled during the transition period following the election. Was he just blowing smoke up America’s ass? I guess we’ll have to stand by on that one.
So, the long and the short of it is that the RussiaGate story is spinning out of control, and Trump’s adversaries — who go well beyond Congress into the Deep State — might be getting enough leverage to dump Trump. Either they will maneuver him and his people into some kind of perjury rap, or they will tie up the government in such a web of investigative procedural rigmarole that all the country lawyers who ever snapped their galluses will never be able to unravel it.
While the nation remains entertained by all this, the Potemkin financial system will wobble, crash, and burn and the humiliation of Donald Trump will be complete. Abandoned by the Republican Party, isolated and crazed in the White House, tweeting out mad appeals to heaven, he’ll either voluntarily pass the baton to Mike Pence or he will be declared unfit to serve and removed under the 25th amendment.
The after-effects of that will be something to behold: a “lose-lose” for both old-line political parties. The Trumpists will never forgive the Republican Party, and the Democrats will have gained nothing. Don’t let the door bang you on the butt on your way out.

Mr Kuntsler,
Hoo can blame you or Golem for defending Russia?
Not wishing a fish wrapped in an old copy of Izvestia under my pillow, I applaud your caution. We all know what Putin’s Russia isn’t, you forget to mention what it is.
You leave the impression, being stupid, getting caught is the sin, not DJT’s lifetime of cheating, lies and corruption.

The Swamp Drains Trump
Is That what Kunstler hopes?
No contact between Trump and Russia? But even if there was, so what?
And Obama-NSA did eavesdrop on Trump after all, like they did to Merkel and everybody else that matters or doesn’t on this planet.
Kunstler should be careful with what he hopes for, if he does hope for the downfall of Trump. It was the general (white) public that defied MSM orders and elected Trump regardless. It remains to be seen if they will let the swamp drown their president without a response.
Don’t think so.

If you think there were too many people yesterday, there are even more today. Hallelujah!
The Democrats lost because they don’t count anymore, irrelevant, they’re history. They succumbed to the stupidity of the liberal left stupid asses and they all are.
Who will miss that nonsense? Who cares if they’re even there anymore, those nitwit liberals and Democrats and leftists and the rest of the herd?
All the Democrats do is make trouble anymore, so what’s to miss? They can’t even see how stupid it is, that’s how stupid they all are.
Liberals and the left have made themselves laughingstock. Look at what they do, not hear what they say. What speaks is actions, not words.
Can’t even beat a candidate supposedly as dumb and as clueless as Donald Trump. Laughable!
Trump made a fool of Hillary, the smartest woman on the planet turned loser got exactly what she deserved and it was delivered in spades.
Liberals are having a hissy fit over Donald Trump, goes to show how immature those on the left have become. Cry bullies who bawl like babies when they lose not to mention beating Trump supporters with shovels. Get over it and get a life who stupid asses.
Donald Trump just looks like a dunce, doesn’t make him one.
He had enough finesse in the cards to make the Democrats suffer an embarrassing loss in the world of politics.
Makes liberals look dumber than they are, that is how truly dumb they are, which is a given and general knowledge throughout the world. Ain’t no mystery. Anyhow, the Democrats and Hillary lost, that’s how embarrassing it is for the Democrats and their ilk. Trump more or less told them to all go to hell, which is a good idea.
Nobody wants the Democrats and the liberals with their leftist tactics around anymore. Get lost, you stupid idiots, you make matters worse, not better.
Those on the left fog a mirror each day and think it is enough work done, the rest of the day is to raise hell.
Good riddance to the Democrats, liberals, the left, and the Bolshevistic tactics and diktats they use to harm every soul on the planet. They are not gone too soon.
Leave me alone, you dumbass liberal shitheads.
I plan to see them in hell where they belong, along with rest of the world.
That goes for you dumbass Republicans too, leave me alone, you are all phonies feigning conservative values and then creating more misery for the retarded murkan on the street and making life more of a living hell.
I’ll see you dumbass Republicans in hell too.
All Trump has to do is fly to Sydney or Shanghai, rent a house or a nice apartment and let those dumbass Republicans and dumbass Democrats continue to be the dumbasses they all are.
What the hell, fly to Moscow and work out of the Kremlin. lol

Talking to Russia is not illegal. Trump simply wont follow to obvious thing and have an open public debate about it, instead the deep state knows how to bait him, they deny it. Trump has a great chance to do somthing, all he has to realise is that he will be a single term POTUS. Then he doesnt have to take prisoners. Trump can lay the foundation of somthing bigger if he wants. Sadly for his reputation, he spends too much time in the winter white house enjoying the spoils of victory. The world is changing politcally so fast now, we dont know where we will be in 6 months let alone a year. Isis is about to lose its cities, Baghdadi it seems has vanished and who knows what new terror will come after. On top of that Saudi is done in Yemen except nobody seems to notice, so the only thing propping the Saudis is the Bush allied deep state and the liberal media and femanazi editors who are offended by Trumps penis, printing everything they are handed by traitorous spooks whether or not it is legal.
I feel bad for the Americans who voted for him to carry out their will and represent them, God help them because they will be the ones to front the revolution, and Trump is making a mistake by not appealing to them to come and fight for him. The next POTUS in 2021 will be sight to behold and not in a good way. The flower power generation is having its last days now, gen X is comimg and that means infantilism like you never imagined.

The GOP resigned themselves to the numbers not making them likely to have the White House. So they gerrymandered as many state districts as possible with the strategy of jamming up the ability of the Federal Government to do much of anything, and consolidated power in State Capitals. The Tea Party faction that was so hard right it blocks any normal consensus action in Congress became a tool for just that. And then Mr. Trump came along and won, and suddenly the dream was alll there, destroy as much social entitlements at the federal level as possible, turn the remainder into state block grants, and then let the states cut them down further towards nil. Take all the tax savings possible and bundle it into a massive tax cut for the top few %, and make it permanent if possible, or a 10 year budget reconciliation if not. Past that, I don’t think there is a plan, because they didn’t expect to be here in the first place. The flower power people are watching their lifelong adversaries implement their long revered solutions for the issues of the 1950’s and 1960’s based on removing all constraints on free enterprise and just letting her put her head down like a trusty old horse and eat. With the exception of protected monopolies like the 50 state Health Care systems, and the Military Industrial Complex. Rather than Gen X, the Millenials are coming, and not finding anything of merit or applicability to the century they live in, will simply have to find something else to gamble their votes on, I trust it won’t be an old guy preaching Socialism based on an imagined source of funds to implement it either. It is hard for us boomers to imagine what the next generation will do, but it is also meaningless, for our turn is done, and our ideas are proven to be a combination of large hearted, small minded, and curious efforts on top of the power provided during our lives by the exploit of fossil fuel energy on the run up to the cusp of it’s incredible power to empower infrastructure, lifestyle, and human comfort beyond any sustainable long term scenario. This was our “miracle” the Millenials will now have to find their own.

DEE-FENSE! DEE-FENSE! DEE-FENSE!
“I. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program has already made America proud by achieving the rank of most expensive military program in the history of the world. At one trillion dollars, this project accounts for fully one-twentieth of the U.S. national debt. But thanks to the Pentagon managers and the defense contractors who refused to pinch pennies when it comes to national defense, the F-35 is a shining example of what money can do:
-The F-35 has 276 critical deficiencies that must be fixed before the craft can be considered ready for duty, and an average of 20 more such deficiencies are being discovered every month.
-The software package that controls the plane’s functions in combat is not yet capable of a few things, such as tracking moving objects on the ground, detecting incoming enemy radar signals, or firing the 25mm machine guns. (Which may be a good thing — when the doors open so the machine guns can fire, the aircraft yaws to the left, making it unlikely the gun will hit what it was aimed at.)
-The aircraft is capable of carrying and deploying two air-to-air missiles (long range, useless in a dogfight) and two bombs. This is about as much armament as a Piper Cub could carry.
-The aircraft’s helmet, which features the world’s most advanced heads-up display and aiming controller, often displays more targets than exist and often can’t hit what the pilot is aiming at.
-Despite all this and more, the Air Force declared the aircraft ready for deployment last year. The Marines activated a squadron of them and sent them to Japan, where they are trying grimly to get them airborne once in a while. One month later the Air Force grounded all its F-35s pending further developments.”

The Yankee Socialist take.
Instability Comes Home
Here’s what’s behind the turbulence shaking US politics — and why it will likely only get worse.
“In effect, people have awakened since the crash to find out that they are a good deal poorer than their leaders said they would be, that they are more unequal, and that recovery will be far more protracted than expected, assuming it occurs at all.”
“This is not representative government, but the opposite: domination by a minority that is constitutionally entrenched and increasingly hostile to democracy.”
“It’s a recipe for deepening paralysis and stagnation, yet nothing can be done.”
“The Russians Are Coming!
Unfortunately, that struggle has taken an odd swerve into neo-McCarthyism. Suddenly, politicians and journalists are agog over tales of Moscow gold and KGB agents lurking in the shadows as if it were still the 1950s and “I Love Lucy” was everybody’s favorite show on TV. Even more remarkably, the paranoia does not emanate from the swamps of the Republican right, but the fever dreams of the liberal left.”

White US army veteran killed random black man with a sword after deciding to commit racist attack
The attack was a calculated assault on the diversity of New York, police said, and happened on the same day as the incident in Westminster
“Jackson told police that he had been harbouring feelings of hatred towards black men for at least 10 years after he was arrested on suspicion of murder.”
“Jackson wandered the streets in a long black coat, carrying a 26-inch sword. He then encountered Mr Caughman, who was collecting bottles from rubbish bins, according to police.
Mr Caughman was 66 years old and lived nearby.
He was stabbed repeatedly in the chest and back, apparently at random.”
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-army-veteran-james-harris-jackson-kill-black-man-new-york-timothy-caughman-sword-racist-attack-a7645736.html
That’ll teach them bottle collectors eh? And oh what a proud moment for the family. Fucking humans.
I don’t think it was all that random. I think he wandered around for awhile until he found the oldest, weakest, unarmed, defenceless black guy he could then he whipped out the sword. I’m sure in his Hollywood style fantasies he walked into the getto and took out 15 young well muscled gangsta thugs while spouting off some Clint Eastwood like one liners, but then he realised he was a fucking coward and stabbed a bottle collecting senior citizen instead. I guess that’s that US military character building we keep hearing about. “It made me the man I am today” Indeed.

Dear Joe. You really should not be worried about generation X my friend. Those crazy SJW’s you see screaming in YouTube clips are Millennials and maybe Gen Y (Y don’t you leave home?).
Us Gen X’s come from an era of no computers, mobile phones or iwhatever’s. We are the one’s who are going to be left with a dying world after a large group of baby boomers have had one of the largest orgies in recorded history, all lubricated by cheap oil.
Boomers had very good jobs that where stable for many years, cheap housing. House prices have just hit a price of EIGHT times the average yearly wage in my screwed up country. Plenty of cheap gas (look at the cars you guys used to drive!). Also, boomers in my country had the option of FREE university education. No cost, Nada, zip, zero, zilch!!
So take a good look at what is coming after us before you think that we are a waste of time. We employed a Millenial recently and when it bothers to turn up to work, it sits in meetings and types on Facebook during said meetings. In fact it compulsively checks it’s mobile every chance it gets. I kid you not. It manages to avoid any form of work and believes that a sick day every two weeks is deserved.
Part of me feels for this generation because if they are aware of the future then I can understand why the might not care. But most of them are only concerned with the latest online shopping site and what mum is cooking for dinner.
Joe, how could you even think that a 70 year old billionaire is more in touch with reality of the common man than the ‘infantile’ gen x? He just killed the EPA for fooks sake! This does not bode well for the future.
efarmer, thanks for admitting that boomers had it pretty good for a decent amount of time. And if you look at it there are still boomers in many positions of power. Including government, alphabet agencies, business and large NGO’s.
I once read that retirement was a once in history concept that is now being enjoyed by wealthy boomers. As an intellectual once said “we can’t afford to pay people to play golf for 10 years”.

So what is your point Friedman-Friday? Last year hundreds of Europeans have been killed by Islamic terrorist attacks (bombs vehicles). But that’s good, right Friedman? There can never be enough white people killed in your view.
It only proves that it is an insane idea to mix different sorts of people.

“Putin represents new vision of the world”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyyHzohe83Q
Translation: a non-Washington-centric vision of the world.
Le Pen hopes that in May France will be the first European country to follow in the footsteps of Putin and Trump to kiss the NWO goodbye.
#ByeByeGeorgeSoros
French National Front leader and presidential candidate Marine Le Pen said that Russian President Vladimir Putin “represents a new vision” of the world, speaking in Moscow, Friday.
During the day, Le Pen met with several Russian State Duma deputies and also held a meeting with President Putin.
Marine Le Pen, French presidential candidate and leader of the National Front (French): “I also think that he [Putin] represents a new vision. A new world has emerged in the past few years. This is Vladimir Putin’s world, Donald Trump’s world in the United States, Mr [Narendra] Modi’s world in India The world of Mr Modi in India. I think that I am probably the one that shares a vision with these great nations.”
Marine Le Pen, French presidential candidate and leader of the National Front (French): “I believe in the nation against globalization, I believe in patriotism against global society. So I am part of this wave of leaders who think that this wild globalisation led to the economic collapse of our world and the progressive disappearance of national identities, which make however the richness of our world.”
Marine Le Pen, French presidential candidate and leader of the National Front (French): “The first measure that I would take regarding Russia would be to think about lifting the sanctions of course. I was against these sanctions that I think are deeply unfair and counterproductive. Sanctions that also greatly harmed some French economic sectors, mostly agriculture. So of course, I would consider pretty quickly to lift the sanctions, at the condition that Russia lifts the sanctions it took against imports of our products.”

The self-hating man-ape (F-F) loves nihilism. As do many of the others on this blog and in the MSM. Meanwhile they plug for the equation “(White IQ 100 + Negro IQ 85)/2 = mulatto IQ 92.5” as the solution to the world’s problems. Nonetheless, the world has never before been in the situation where we are heading. It has been said that the prospect of imminent death wonderfully concentrates the mind. In the days to come Whitey is going to face this prospect. We will then see just how effective all the Jesus-preaching and screeching about the not following the Constitution, about White “racism,” Islamophobia, LGBTQ-phobia, etc., etc. is going to be.
Given that death rates for Whites are increasing rapidly, the Leftist blather about love and kisses for everyone is becoming less and less convincing. The Demonics, the RINOs and the “conservatives” who fantasize about returning to 19th-century America (only with Negroes and various imported subhumans at Whitey’s dinner table) are unlikely to keep their grip on power. And anyone who thinks that the mortality figures are going to stop rising is living in a dream world.
The West has not yet acknowledged the death knell its own religion has rung. But when the rampant drug-suicides and general desperation overcome the Yid-induced blindness, the change will be unprecedented.

Washington is doing everything in its power to prevent Russia and Europe from merging into the world’s biggest free trade zone that will be the center of global growth and prosperity for the next century.
This is why the US State Department joined with the CIA to topple the elected government of Ukraine in 2014… Preventing Putin from “creating a harmonious community of economies from Lisbon to Vladivostok” is no minor hurtle for the United States. It’s a matter of life and death.

We are patient people, and we will wait for our colleagues to realise that due to a number of reasons – including historical, geopolitical, economic, and cultural – we, Russia and Europe, need each other.

“Will Washington Risk WW3 to Block an Emerging EU-Russia Superstate?”
LOL, you are a long way from a super state cloggie. You are breathing some heavy fantasy there. You should be wondering if the EU even survives. You then have to wonder what will happen within Europe and the vast spaces between there and Russia when the world starts unravelling. I imagine there will be some more European wars in the future. You guys have proven for many ages you can’t get along except in prosperity. Prosperity is over so you need to review what you guys do to yourselves in hard times.

“EU Celebrates 60th Birthday As European Leaders Scramble To Hold “Fraying” Union Together”
http://tinyurl.com/n92xtqm
“Addressing right-wing supporters of the Fratelli d’Italia movement, its leader Giorgia Meloni denounced a “great EU deception”. “The real enemies of Europe,” she said, “Are the bankers, usurers and technocrats.” The Union, she added, must be replaced by a new alliance of “free and sovereign countries”. But for Maximilien De-Wyse, 26, from the northern French city of Lille, that was the wrong answer. Taking part in a pro-EU march in Rome, he recalled his Polish immigrant grandparents and said: “It is only united that we can save peace.” Meanwhile, the leaders are hopeful that putting their names on a piece of paper endorsing a vision for a union which has succeeded alienated million of its constituents, will somehow reset years of bad decisions and flawed poicy. It won’t.”

Straw-man, nobody says the EU is a super state, although you could note that the EU is the largest economy to date. Which could have military repercussions for the future, now that the EU is beginning to create an army of its own and vows to increase defense spending. Global military spending:
50% USA
25% EU
25% Russia + China
I was merely quoting a right-wing American writer, who was contemplating the potential of an EU-Russian alliance and that Washington is very much afraid of that possibility and that the actions of Washington in Ukraine-2014 were strongly related to that fear. Paris-Berlin-Moscow would very much be such a super power. The author is beginning his article with a Putin-2012 quote, showing that Paris-Berlin-Moscow is the strategic aim of Putin.
You should be wondering if the EU even survives.
The US should be considering the possibility that the EU does indeed survive.
You then have to wonder what will happen within Europe and the vast spaces between there and Russia when the world starts unraveling.
So far “the world unraveling” is a hypothesis, popular at US centric doomer sites for years now.
My counter-hypothesis is that only the old world of uni-polar American Empire is unraveling and that the idea of a New American Century is a myth. Trump, Brzezinski and others no longer believe that a US global empire is a realistic idea.
I imagine there will be some more European wars in the future.
Americans notorious like wars on somebody else his turf. Trump recently spoke of projecting US power far away from home. This time however war could very well come home to America:
http://www.prisonplanet.com/michael-moore-calls-on-dems-to-declare-national-emergency.html
Michael Moore, media figure head of the US left calls Trump’s presidency “illegitimate”. America has destabilized itself through decades of mass immigration and a lot of Euro’s deeply resent that and want to fight further demographic dispossession.
You guys have proven for many ages you can’t get along except in prosperity.
We did not have to go along as we ruled the world without cooperation for centuries. Nevertheless the EU is a fact of life. Nobody in continental Europe feels threatened by each other. The real threat is the third world.
Prosperity is over so you need to review what you guys do to yourselves in hard times.
You keep saying that but the reality is that the situation in Europe is pretty upbeat and the coming four years are projected to be of 2% economic growth. Europe is more prosperous than ever.

More cloggified misinformation. Your military spending numbers are wrong. Heck, KSA spends more than Russia, while South Korea and Japan both spend more than most EU countries.
Cloggie on Sat, 25th Mar 2017 2:28 pm
Can’t remember having made a comparison between KSA and Russia. And seriously, KSA can’t even beat a hand full of rebels in Yemen, where Russia can blow up the entire world in half an hour.

This graph more of less confirmed what I said (the EU is btw much bigger than D, F and UK).
But I understand your eagerness to score a sad nitpicking point.

Clog,
Your doing a mak analogy when it comes to Russian nukes. All the wars going on look to kill specific groups with as small footprint as possible. KSA, Russia, the US etc all want death to a perceived bad gut but leave the cows, goats and civilians alone. These conflicts are not yesterday’s wars you envision.
Ghung on Sat, 25th Mar 2017 3:05 pm
Gosh, Cloggie, the stats you posted are either true, or they are not, except in your alternate reality. Out here in the real world, The US, EU, and Russia+China don’t account for 100% of military spending.
Boat on Sat, 25th Mar 2017 3:07 pm
Clog,
Funny that Le Pen wants to drop sanctions with Russia. For what? To increase trade? So no globalism or NWO but let’s increase trade. Lol One wonders how many Russian immigrants would be needed in France to run all these new Russian businesses. Would they be stealing jobs?

So true, but they simply don’t matter on a global scale.

Nope. Historically the French are not too keen on Anglos, well before Trump that is. It’s a feature called Gaullism.
Le Pen, who firmly stands in the Gaullist tradition wants to mend relations with Russia to reduce US influence in Europe and Eurasia and understands very well that this Ukraine-2014 episode was meant to drive a wedge between the EU and Russia, who had become dangerously close…

I live in a country that few would want to illegally migrate to, if they could. That is another plus on my list of why I am here. ~80% Catholic, ~6% Islam, ~10% misc. Christian and a few percent other/none. 500 miles of ocean between the Ps and China. 8,000 miles from the U$. A good place to be in the expanding world of chaos and climate change.

“I live in a country that few would want to illegally migrate to, if they could.” No need makati, you are in a country of 100MIL in the geographic area of Arizona. Your forest, fisheries, and water resources are in decline and or failure. You are facing the worst of the destructive forces of climate change through the effects of Typhoons. The country is developing rapidly along an Asian Tiger mentality. High populations in rapid development are known to destroy a countries’ environment. What is worse you are in the heart of a 20MIL mega urban area of Manila especially in danger of collapse in a dangerous crisis. It is not a place with much of a future like so many other places. Bragging about it reminds me of delusional thinking or cognitive dissonance. We are here every day talking about what is unsustainable and lacks resilience. Surely that registers in your head because I see nothing special about your P’s. It has advantages and disadvantages in comparison to my Missouri Ozarks. I am acknowledging my dangers from climate change and being a NUK war target why can’t you yours?

I’m sure you “hope” that is going to happen, but you indicate yourself in the next sentence why it is not going to happen. A single Euro wimp with an automatic weapon is no match for hundreds of Allah Ahkbar screaming idiots armed with merely machetes. But have no illusions, once we have liberated ourselves from the overlord, we are going to attack and you will be a real refugee for a change. We don’t need you for anything.

That’s because there are no free handouts in the Philippines.
As long as the US empire is still standing and the ATM still spits out retirement money, being in Manila is not too bad for an American guy in his seventies. The weather is good, life is dirt cheap and it doesn’t really matter where you stare at a screen all day, Manila or the Ozarks.
Perhaps you did even secure yourself a place on that mysterious farm of yours. Naked survival requires merely a chair in the sun/shadow and a bowl of rice a day.
makati1 on Sun, 26th Mar 2017 5:14 am
Cloggie, you got that right. They can come here and live on the streets instead of their home country streets. No welfare, no free meds,no free housing, etc. They cannot walk/swim/boat over some border and get a free ride.
As I said, a good place to live if you have the resources. I am as secure as is possible anywhere in the world today. As for the farm, I keep the details off the internet. I share what I want to share. No way to prove what I claim. I could be a 50 something female living in LA. Who knows. Isn’t the internet great! lol
But, it does exist and most of what I share here is true. I am male and 72. That bowl of rice is ok by me. I eat a lot of rice. Better than what most have or will have. My friend/partner’s family has rice paddies in the north and he gets a share of the crop every year. Enough for two. A few pond grown tilapia or a free range chicken on occasion or even a monitor lizard stew. I am not picky. ^_^
