LOCK YOUR DOORS, LOAD YOUR GUNS AND GET YOU A BARKING, BITING DOG

Is this a sign of what is coming for the rest of the nation? In Martin County, Kentucky times are very tough right now. Thanks to severe budget cutbacks, there are only two paid law enforcement officers covering a deeply impoverished 231-square-mile area that sits right in the heart of America’s raging opioid crisis. Needless to say, Martin County Sheriff John Kirk feels greatly outnumbered by the thieves, sexual predators and drug dealers that he has to contend with on a daily basis, and he recently issued a very ominous warning to the citizens of his county…

Before making a wave of cutbacks across his department, Martin County Sheriff John Kirk delivered a grim warning to residents of this hardscrabble Appalachian community.

“Law enforcement as we have known for the last four years will not exist,” he posted on Facebook last month. “WE ARE BROKE… LOCK YOUR DOORS, LOAD YOUR GUNS AND GET YOU A BARKING, BITING DOG. If the Sheriff’s office can’t protect you, WHO WILL?”

So why can’t Martin County afford more law enforcement officers?

Well, like so many other local communities all across America right now, they are deep in debt and flat broke…

The county has accumulated $1.4 million in debt — a surprise to many of its new officials.

“I don’t sleep well,” said Susan Hale, the county’s new treasurer, who is sifting through the bills left by the previous administration: $230,000 to a regional jail that houses its inmates, $140,000 to a state association that provides liability insurance, plus dribs and drabs for mundane items such as office supplies and toilet paper.

As economic conditions continue to deteriorate, we are going to hear a lot more stories like this all over the country.

And the truth is that things will ultimately be far worse in our major cities than in our rural areas.

Just take a look at Chicago. Today it is a war zone, and the growing poverty in the city has fueled the rapid growth of criminal gangs.

According to a study conducted at the University of Illinois at Chicago, approximately half of the city was considered to be “middle income” in 1970, but now that number has dropped to just 16 percent…

UIC’s maps show that fully half of the city was middle income in 1970, including large swaths on every side of town. Today, just 16 percent of the city’s 797 census tracts are considered middle income. Those middle income areas are confined mostly to the corners of the city, and to thin strips between areas of wealth and poverty.

Those numbers are absolutely staggering.

Right now, there are about 12,000 law enforcement officers and more than 100,000 gang members in the city of Chicago.

That means that the gang members outnumber the police by an almost 10 to 1 margin.

Things are not quite as bad in other major cities, but trouble is definitely brewing. For example, the murder rate in New York City is up 37 percent so far this year, and more gang members are moving in with each passing day.

Philadelphia has also seen the murder rate rise substantially, and this is something that Jim Quinn commented on in his most recent article…

Facts are always inconvenient to welfare state Democrats, but the ignorance of their constituents is what keeps them in power. The narrative of Philadelphia getting safer is obliterated by the 351 murders in 2018, up 43% since 2013, and the highest level since 2007.

Assaults involving a gun totaled 2,327, up 13% since 2014. There were over 14,000 violent crimes and 63,000 robberies and thefts in 2018. The vast majority of these crimes occur in West and North Philadelphia, as local news stories lead with multiple murders and shootings every night (average of 4 shootings per day).

If things are this bad already, what are things going to look like when economic conditions get really bad?

We live at a time when Americans are becoming increasingly pessimistic. And even though economic conditions have been relatively stable in recent years, the combined national death rate from alcohol, drugs and suicide has been steadily rising…

Feelings of hopelessness and despair are overwhelming many in the U.S. So much so, that people are turning to alcohol, drugs, and suicide to numb the pain of their lives. Government enslavement and the stranglehold on the economy are making life even more difficult on those already struggling to get by. And this is seen in new death numbers released.

The national rate for deaths from alcohol, drugs, and suicide rose from 43.9 to 46.6 deaths per 100,000 people in 2017, a 6 percent increase, the Trust for America’s Health and the Well Being Trust reported Tuesday. That was a slower increase than in the previous two years, but it was greater than the 4 percent average annual increase since 1999, reported USA Today.

The big reason why people are turning to alcohol, drugs and suicide to deal with the pain in their lives is because they don’t have any hope. And as this country continues to literally fall apart all around us, unfortunately a lot more Americans are likely to give in to anxiety, depression and despair.

If we want to turn this nation around, we need to act now.

Illegal immigration has been one of the biggest factors behind the explosive growth of gang violence in America, and a new report in the Washington Times is telling us that the number of people trying to come across our borders illegally is currently at an all-time record high…

Illegal immigration continues to break records on the southwestern border — and they’re not good ones.

The number of families snared trying to sneak into the U.S. soared by 50 percent in one month alone, setting an all-time record with more than 36,000 family members apprehended, Homeland Security officials announced Tuesday.

The government has also encountered some 70 groups of at least 100 migrants during the first five months of the fiscal year, shattering records and placing new challenges on Border Patrol agents.

Bad choices lead to bad consequences, and we have been making really bad choices for a very long time.

If we are not able to reverse course as a nation, you may want to take Sheriff Kirk’s advice and “lock your doors, load your guns and get you a barking, biting dog”…

Italy: …you’ll need to be a citizen in order to obtain a gun permit. That is, to buy a gun in the country, you will need to have your citizenship and passport for that country. Sorry, US citizenship does not count.

https://www.liveandinvestoverseas.com/news/10-countries-easiest-gun-laws-world/

Per capita gun ownership: Number of guns per 100 people –

US = 120
Italy = 14
Ps = 4

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_number_of_civilian_guns_per_capita_by_country (2017)

Of course that does not count the illegal arms in the hands of gangs, etc.

Number of gangs in the US: ~ 33,000 with over 1,000,000 members.

https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/violent-crime/gangs

BTW: Italy has one of the top 10 biggest gangs in the world, but the US has SEVEN of the top 10 gangs.

Right-wing individuals are more tolerant of the spreading of misinformation by politicians

People on both ends of the political spectrum disapprove of lying. But new research suggests that Republicans and right-wing authoritarians view the spreading of misinformation by politicians as less morally objectionable than their left-wing counterparts.

The study has been published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.

“Good to see the Italians embracing American cultural values.” That’s hilarious, Juan. But remember that although American law has adopted this sort of stand your ground approach to things, many, if not most, Americans do not have a real trigger to pull, and many or most of those who do would probably not be able to pull the trigger.

“Most people who break your house just want your damn TV..Right wingers are so scared of everything..They are true cowards.” This comment by MOB needs to be addressed with some rationality and realism. First of all, the fact that an intruder wants to steal something so mundane as a TV does not mean that person would not kill someone to get it (maybe even just for the hell of it). People have been killed for a pair of running shoes, for Chrisake.

Then, the implication that left-wingers are courageous and would readily give their TVs to any intruder that happens by, just to avoid a violent confrontation no doubt, because they are so peace loving, is simply wrong.

In fact, the whole left-wing right-wing way of defining and prejudging human action is bullshit. The presidency of Obama was absolute living proof of that.

DMyers, given the choice between a TV vs. my life, or the lives of others, the TV would be gone and I would even offer to help carry it to their vehicle. Stupid I’m not.

MOB lives in a delusional world if he thinks a TV is worth his life. Not that anyone would likely steal a TV. After all, most US welfare addicts have a 60″ with surround sound and free cable already. Get real MOB!

BTW: Wait until the New Dems get the presidency in 2020 (For sure in 2024). You ain’t seen nothing yet. Although, I hope Trump manages to get re-elected so he can complete the destruction of America before the other loonies take over. Third World Amerika either way. LOL

“Hungary’s biological future”

Phrase used by Hungarian PM Viktor Orban:

https://europe.infowars.com/hungary-pm-no-compromise-on-migration-protecting-christian-culture/

Americans can only dream of that. They solidly believe that the word “racism” signifies something so important, that even the threat of the word used against you, is sufficient to put your hands in the air and hand over your society to any gate crasher coming from the South. Words like dynamite. Words like IEDs. Kosher words. “Sexism”, “islamophobia”, “homophobia”… Words intentionally minted to destroy society and civilisation and race.

But that’s ok. Every century or so you need a major convulsion to prevent the world from falling flat on its face out of sheer boredom.

Mobster’s crew unintentionally is paving the way for a European revival… over the dead body of America, they like no other helped to kill.

The belief in the EU and Britain reaching an agreement is dwindling:

http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/brexit-verhandlungen-in-der-eu-waechst-der-frust-auf-die-briten-a-1256999.html

The EU is not in the mood for further compromise, the Barnier-Raab deal is it. Take it or leave it.

Next week the chaos will probably be complete. Last week we already saw queues of trucks in France, heading for Britain of 15 miles long, a French teaser to warm up for things to come.

The breakup of the West and empire has begun in earnest and that’a good thing.

Expect a drive for Irish unification, Scottish independence, a wave of large companies moving to the continent. Expect empty shelves inBritain. Expect May to resign and frantic negotiations between cross-party MPs and Brussels, that could either lead to a Norway-style very soft Brexit… or British and French planes flying very low over the Channel, each protecting its fishers.

Interesting times.

I’m just stating the fact, people have been killed for their running shoes. Isn’t the truth relevant? So what’s your point, that even though this may have happened once, it could certainly never happen again? We shouldn’t notice it?

You must be implying that I am a right winger, and that is complete bullshit. You don’t even know what you’re talking about. I’m an independent thinker. Left/Right isn’t anything to me. If the Left is wrong, I’ll say so, and the same goes for the Right.

“In fact, the whole left-wing right-wing way of defining and prejudging human action is bullshit. The presidency of Obama was absolute living proof of that.” That’s what I said. That’s the substance. You can’t refute that. It’s true.

Clogged, you make racism into something more than it is and you belittle it by not taking responsibility for your part in something very bad. This is because you see you yourself as special. You see your people as better than people of color. You think you are at the top of the genetic tree even above other whites. This is how you make it into more than it is by a personal delusion. You belittle racism by denying fairness and objective science of whole cultures and races. The broad strokes of IQ nonsense and cultural comparisons is seen through your eyes as a racist white. You are judge and jury of what is considered high culture and what is considered low. The high and low is itself flawed because a local culture with its various races have relevance as a local manifestation of that environment. White Europe should have stayed in white Europe and not colonized the earth and forced its white culture on others. You even consider people of color subhuman which I find very disagreeable. There are sub human’s in all races and cultures. It is the bad traits and the bad personalities that come out of bad nature and nurture.

You have much to be proud of. Northern Europe has achieve high culture on many fronts but there is more to life than white Europe. There is also the study of history and what white Europeans have done to other cultures over the many centuries. Their own personal high culture has been destroyed and replaced by a Euro version that in many cases did not work for them leaving them handicapped. There is the destructive social narratives that are carried on to this day destroying the world. BTW, I consider the Anglosphere and the American culture as part of this as an extension of Euro culture. I find the American version extremely disturbing in many cases. In the US the opportunities for the worst of what Europeans have become has been allowed to develop. The fact that there are other cultures significantly represented in the US is not the primary factor here. This is the bastardization of European values taken to the extreme in late stage capitalism and the human mess created from cancerous individualism. In some cases black culture has degenerated in the US but when one looks at the history of their circumstances we should be understanding. I have black friends that are a bit snotty of other blacks kind of like high and low German culture is.

Racism is the bad side of comparative culture. It is becoming worse today because of free movement of peoples for mainly economic reasons driven by progressive globalists pressuring whites in reverse. There is still some political issues but for the most part it is economic of haves and have nots. We need good borders to protect people’s rights of all cultures and races. The borders are both ways because it is the exploitation of the rest of the world in many cases by whites through financialization and global movement of monies that continues to colonize. We need to stop the destruction of all cultures and races. This is why I am behind European and American efforts at border controls. I was a globalist in the 80’s and I am now firmly against the resulting extremism and corruption. This is a new form of racism by disrespecting traditions and values of all cultures by homogenization. It is just a newer version of colonization in reverse and is destroying cultures from within. Your white Europe is case in point. I agree with this part of your anger. It is borders that are needed from racist whites like you and globalist progressives of all culture seeking to tear down borders and the traditions and values behind them. It is the extremes that are the problem on both sides.

“The breakup of the West and empire has begun in earnest and that’a good thing”

You mistake your own break up for a vague idea of the end of the American Empire. This break up is civilization turning and it is global. Included in this is the self-destructing American Empire which Europeans are a part of through globalism. You think this breakup is ushering in your version of empire. Your version of a pan European empire is a delusion. What is happening is balkanization of Europe. Europe is coming apart because of nationalism found in its many forms in a diverse Europe that has always been resistant to empire and its homogenization. It is a good thing in some ways. Centralization has gone to extremes with globalization and individualism. We are now all greedy bastards disrespecting others and ourselves. Is it any wonder the planet looks as it does?

“Burning wood for power ‘breaches EU treaty”
https://tinyurl.com/y5phyosd Ecologist

Plaintiffs from six European countries and the US argue biomass does more harm than good and should be not be counted as a renewable energy source.

“The suit challenges a major plank of efforts to generate 32 percent of EU energy from renewable sources by 2030. Nearly two thirds of EU renewables come from various forms of bioenergy, with more projects in planning. Carbon sinks “We are burning up our forest carbon sink and injecting it into the atmosphere,” said Mary Booth, lead science advisor to the case and president of the US-based Partnership for Policy Integrity. “There is forest biomass being shipped thousands of miles to meet biomass demand in the EU. We think that needs to stop.” At the point where it is burned, wood emits more carbon dioxide than coal. However, the EU treats wood burning as carbon neutral, on the basis trees will grow back, absorbing carbon dioxide from the air.”
