Why do mainstream media reporters within ostensibly free democracies act just like state media propagandists? Why are they so reliably pro-establishment, all throughout every mainstream outlet? Why do they so consistently marginalize any idea that doesn’t fit within the extremely narrow Overton window of acceptable opinion?Why does anyone who inconveniences western establishment power always find themselves on the losing end of a trial by media? Why are they so dependably adversarial toward anything that could be perceived as a flaw in any nation outside the US-centralized power alliance, and so dependably forgiving of the flaws of the nations within it?
There is no consistency in how mass arrests are depicted in Western media. If this took place in a “hostile” country, it would be declared state-sponsored repression by an authoritarian regime https://t.co/xFmJNwlgBE

The way I see it there are only two possible explanations for the unanimous consensus in mass media on these issues:
Explanation 1: The consensus exists because the mass media reporters are all telling the truth all the time.
OR
Explanation 2: The consensus exists because there is some kind of system in place which keeps all mass media reporters lying to us and painting a false picture about what’s going on in the world.
Those are the only two possibilities, and only one can be true, since any mixture of the two would result in the loss of consensus.
Most mainstream westerners harbor an unquestioned assumption that Explanation 1 is the only possibility. The things they see on CNN, the BBC and the ABC are all accurate descriptions of what’s really going on in the world, and the consensus in their descriptions exists because they’re all describing the same objective reality.
But what would that mean exactly? Well, for starters if the mainstream media reporters are telling us the truth all the time it would mean that the same power institutions which slaughtered millions in Vietnam and Iraq for no good reason are actually virtuous and honest. It would mean the positive, uncritical picture that is consistently painted of those same institutions which wage nonstop campaigns of bloodshed and oppression to ensure the profit of economic manipulators and war profiteers is due to those institutions possessing merits which are overall so positive that no criticism of them is needed. It would mean that the status quo of climate destruction, steadily growing wealth inequality, an increasingly Orwellian surveillance system, an increasingly militarized police force, increasing internet censorship, and crushing neoliberal austerity measures are all things people voted for using the excellent democratic political system the mainstream media defends, based on the accurate information the mainstream media gave them about what’s in their best interests.
Explanation 1 sounds improbable in that light. We know that the system is spectacularly screwed up, and we know that the political establishment which these mainstream outlets always defend does unforgivably evil things, so we should expect to see a lot more critical reporting and a lot less protecting of the status quo. But we don’t. We see war crimes ignored, oppression justified, the two-headed one-party system normalized, dissident narratives smeared as fake news conspiracy theories, and unproven assertions by government agencies with a known history of lying reported as unquestionable fact.
But that leaves only Explanation 2. How could that be right?
This part of a 1996 interview between Noam Chomsky and the BBC’s Andrew Marr describes a foundational element of Explanation 2: that there is a system in place which ensures that all the reporters in positions of influence are there not to report factually on the news of the day, but to sell a particular narrative that is friendly to the state and the status quo. Chomsky describes a “filtering system” which ensures that only those loyal to power rise to the top within the plutocrat-owned media, to which Marr objects and insists that his peers are brave truth-tellers who hold power to account. Subsequently, the following exchange takes place:
Chomsky: Well, I know some of the best, and best known investigative reporters in the United States, I won’t mention names, whose attitude towards the media is much more cynical than mine. In fact, they regard the media as a sham. And they know, and they consciously talk about how they try to play it like a violin. If they see a little opening, they’ll try to squeeze something in that ordinarily wouldn’t make it through. And it’s perfectly true that the majority – I’m sure you’re speaking for the majority of journalists who are trained, have it driven into their heads, that this is a crusading profession, adversarial, we stand up against power. A very self-serving view. On the other hand, in my opinion, I hate to make a value judgement but, the better journalists and in fact the ones who are often regarded as the best journalists have quite a different picture. And I think a very realistic one.
Marr: How can you know that I’m self-censoring? How can you know that journalists are..
Chomsky: I’m not saying your self censoring. I’m sure you believe everything you’re saying. But what I’m saying is that if you believed something different, you wouldn’t be sitting where you’re sitting.
“If you believed something different, you wouldn’t be sitting where you’re sitting.”
It is an obvious fact that mainstream media outlets are owned by the extremely wealthy, as has been the case for a very long time. Owning media is in and of itself a profitable investment, “like having a license to print your own money” as Canadian television magnate Roy Thomson once put it. So when it comes to the news media outlets which form people’s perceptions of the world, what incentive would a powerful plutocrat have to platform anti-establishment voices on those outlets and help sow ideas which upset the status quo upon which said plutocrat has built his empire? It certainly wouldn’t make him any more money, and if anti-establishment ideas like socialism, anarchism, non-interventionism or skepticism of government agencies gained popular footing in public consciousness, it could upset the foundation of the plutocrat’s dynasty and cause him to lose everything.
Plutocrats have put a lot of energy into influencing government policy in order to create legislation which ensures the continued growth of their wealth and power. A whole lot of maneuvering has had to happen over the course of many years to create a political system wherein government bribery is legal in the form of campaign finance and corporate lobbying, wherein deregulation of corporations is the norm, wherein tax loopholes are abundant and tax burdens are shifted to the middle class, wherein money hemorrhages upward to the wealthiest of the wealthy while ordinary people grow poorer and poorer. What incentive would these powerful oligarchs have to risk upsetting that delicate balancing act by helping to circulate ideas which challenge the very governmental system they’ve worked so hard to manipulate to their extreme advantage? And how many incentives would they have to keep everyone supporting the status quo?
How hard would it be to simply decline to give anti-establishment voices a platform, and platform establishment loyalists instead? How easy would it be for a wealthy media owner or influential investor to ensure that only establishment loyalists are given the job of hiring and promoting editors and reporters in a mainstream media outlet?
Every blue-checkmark MSM journo on Twitter is auditioning for a job. All they’re actually tweeting is “Look at me, current or future employer! I will smear Julian Assange! I will help sell the Russia narrative! I’ll say Corbyn is an antisemite!” And the MSM bosses pay attention.
— Caitlin Johnstone ⏳ (@caitoz) December 9, 2018
If you’ve ever wondered what motivates all those blue-checkmarked corporate media journalists to spend so much time on Twitter defending the powerful and attacking the disempowered, this is your answer. They spend their own free time smearing Jill Stein, calling Jeremy Corbyn an antisemite, attacking Julian Assange, supporting longtime neoconservative war agendas against Russia, Syria and Iran and uncritically reporting intelligence agency assertions as fact not because there’s a CIA officer hovering over their shoulder at all times telling them exactly what to tweet, but because they’re auditioning for a job. They’re creating a public record of their establishment loyalism which current and future employers will look at when weighing hiring and promotion decisions, which is why both journalism schools and journalism employers now encourage journalists to cultivate a social media presence to “build their brand”, i.e. their public resume.
So it’s very easy to fill mass media jobs with minds which are not predisposed toward rocking the boat. A pro-establishment consensus is artificially built, and now you’ve got an environment where someone who stands up and says “Uh, hey, so we still haven’t seen any actual hard evidence that Russia interfered in the US election in any meaningful way” or whatever is instantly greeted by a wall of shunning and shaming (observe Aaron Maté‘s interactions with other journalists on social media for a good example of this), which can be psychologically difficult to deal with.
I want to note what a mind-blowing time it is for liberal media culture. For rejecting a Trump-Russia conspiracy theory, the small # of us leftists who do so are treated as heretics. Far from being hurt by it, I’m actually honored that people so credulous are so scornful: https://t.co/siuQwNrZg0
— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate) December 10, 2018
Anyone who’s ever gone to high school can understand how powerful the social pressures to seek peer approval and fit in can be, and anyone who’s ever worked a normal job anywhere can understand the natural incentives that are in place to behave in a way that is pleasing to one’s bosses. In any job with any kind of hierarchy, you quickly learn the written rules, and you pay close attention to social cues to learn the unwritten ones as well. You do this in order to learn how to avoid getting in trouble and how to win the approval of your superiors, to learn which sorts of behaviors can lead to raises and promotions, and which behaviors will lead to a career dead-end. You learn what will earn you a pat on the back from a leader, which can be extremely egoically gratifying and incentivizing in and of itself.
It works exactly the same way in news media. Reporters might not always be consciously aware of all the pro-establishment guidelines they’re expected to follow in order to advance their careers, but they know how the reporters who’ve ascended to the top of the media ladder conduct themselves, and they see how the journalists who win the accolades behave. With the help of editors and peers you quickly learn where all the third rails and sacred cows are, and when to shut your mouth about the elephant in the room. And for those rare times that all these filtration devices fail to adequately filter out dissident ideas, you see the example that gets made of those few who slip between the cracks, like CNN contributor Marc Lamont Hill for his defense of Palestinian human rights or Phil Donahue for his opposition to the Iraq invasion.
Last week, CNN contributor Marc Lamont Hill delivered a speech at the United Nations in support of Palestinian self-determination and equal rights. Less than 24 hours later, CNN was done with him. https://t.co/yUjw97fUb2

So plutocrats own the mass media and platform status quo-friendly voices, which creates an environment full of peer pressure to conform and workplace pressure to advance establishment-friendly narratives. Add to this the phenomenon of access journalism, wherein journalists are incentivized to cozy up to power and pitch softball questions to officials in order to gain access to them, and things get even more slanted. It’s easy to understand how all this can create an environment of consensus which has nothing to do with facts or reality, but rather with what narratives favor the US-centralized empire and the plutocrats who control it. But all those dynamics aren’t the only factors going into making sure a consensus worldview is maintained. Remember that hypothetical CIA officer I mentioned earlier who isn’t actively leaning over every journalist’s shoulder and dictating what they tweet? Well, just because he’s not dictating every word produced by the mass media machine doesn’t mean he’s not involved.
Secretive and unaccountable government agencies have an extensive and well-documented record of involving themselves with news media outlets. It is a known and undisputed fact that the Central Intelligence Agency has been intimately involved in America’s news media since the 1950s, and it remains so to this day. In 2014 it was a scandal when reporter Ken Dilanian was caught collaborating with the CIA in his publications, but now veterans of the US intelligence community like John Brennan and James Clapper openly fill out the line-up of talking heads on MSNBC and CNN. Just recently the Guardian published a lie-filled smear piece on Julian Assange which was almost certainly the result of the outlet’s collaboration with one or more intelligence and/or defense agencies, and when that article caused an outcry it was defended as the likely result of Russian disinformation in an evidence-free article by a CIA veteran who was permitted to publish anonymously in Politico. The Washington Post is solely owned by Jeff Bezos, who is a CIA contractor, and who we may be certain did not purchase the Post under the illusion that newspapers were about to make a lucrative comeback. Secretive government agencies are deeply involved in the workings of western news media, in many ways we know about, and in far more ways we don’t know about.
Taking all of these factors into consideration and revisiting Explanation 1 and Explanation 2 from the beginning of this article, it should be obvious to you that the most logical explanation for the uniform consensus of support for pro-establishment narratives in the mass media exists because there is indeed a system in place which keeps all mass media reporters lying to us and painting a false picture about what’s going on in the world.
This doesn’t mean that these news media outlets lie about everything all the time, it means they mostly provide half-truths, distortions and lies by omission whenever it benefits the agendas of the powerful, which is functionally the same as lying all the time. I sometimes get people telling me “Caitlin! The MSM lies all the time, and they say global warming is real! That means it’s false!” But it doesn’t work that way; if the TV tells you a celebrity has died then it’s probably true, and if they say it’s about to rain you should probably roll up your car windows. If they lied about everything all the time they would instantly lose all credibility, and their ability to propagandize effectively would be lost. Instead, they advance evidence-free narratives asserted by opaque government agencies, they avoid highlighting inconvenient truths, they ignore third parties and dissident ideas except to dismiss them, they harshly criticize the misdeeds of governments which oppose the US-centralized empire while sweeping the misdeeds of imperial members under the rug, and when there’s an opportunity to sabotage peace or support war, they seize it. They distort only when they have to, and only as much as they need to.
In this way the powerful have succeeded in controlling the people’s narratives about what’s happening in their country and their world. This is the system of narrative manipulation we are up against when we try to sow dissident ideas into public consciousness, and as the old adage goes, it is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.
And yet we are gaining ground. The manipulators have been losing control of the narrative, which is why the mass media have been acting so weird and desperate since 2016. The unelected power establishment failed to manufacture support for its would-be Syria invasion, it failed to get the public to buy into the Russia hysteria, trust in the mass media is at an all-time low, and it’s continuing to plummet. More and more people are waking up to the fact that they are being lied to, which is good, because the only thing keeping them from pushing for real change is the fact that there are all these screens in everyone’s lives telling them that real change isn’t needed.
The liars are against the ropes, and they’re starting to look winded. A populist information revolution is looking more winnable than ever.

“Why do the banking elites want a crash in the U.S.? There are numerous reasons and gains to be had. For an in-depth explanation, I recommend my article ‘The Economic End Game Explained.’ To summarize, globalists are setting the stage for what they often refer to as the “global economic reset.” This reset is essentially a major crisis event which will be exploited by globalists to centralize the system even further, into a one world currency and one world economy, governed by the banking elites through institutions like the IMF and the BIS.
The U.S. economy and the U.S. dollar must be diminished in order for this to happen. And with conservatives supposedly “in control” of the U.S. government and the U.S. economy at the time of the crash, guess who is slated to get the blame? I’ll give you a hint: Not the central bankers…”

“Look, it is her again”

PM May dashing off to Brussels again in the vain hope to get a “better deal”.
She won’t.
Next thing the EU should do is seriously prepare for a no-deal Brexit… because it is still a serious possibility.
The EU should emanate the attitude: this is it, take it or leave it. We prefer you to accept the Barnier-Raab deal, but this is it. And since you still haven’t made up your mind, we are going to prepare for the other possibility.
What happened yesterday is that for the remainder of the play-out of the Brexit drama, the likes of Johnson have been sidelined for at least 12 months. They had one bullet, aimed… and missed, the natural born losers that they are:
https://tinyurl.com/ybjd8pmp
Brexit is precisely what the Irish historian O’Toole said what it was: a prank

It is the last gasp of a nation that between 1815-1939 was the #1 nation/empire in the geopolitical pecking order, until they committed suicide by volunteering to attack once again, another nation that could have been their best friend. As a result the European world collapsed. And although the British love to portray themselves as the winner of WW2, in geopolitical terms they were in reality the biggest losers of them all.
Antius posted a link the other day from someone who claimed that energy is a more important category than finance to explain wealth. And that is correct. The secret behind the miracle of the British empire was that the British were the first to exploit coal and steam in a grand style. For a few decades they had a head start and virtually the British did not have merely 15 million or so inhabitants of flesh and blood, but 200, 300, 400 million, if you take account of the virtual energy slaves that came with the new technology. THAT and nothing else was the premier factor that explained the rise of the British empire.
But, as always technological advantages last only so long. The fundamental problem with the British is nostalgia, the inability to let go of the past and face new realities. Deep in their heart they hope that someday they will be the most important nation again.
They won’t.
London is now majority Islamic and will only get darker if all these white Eastern Europeans will leave the rainy island in the wake of Brexit. And if the British don’t change course and abandon their disastrous “global Britain” fantasy, they will lose their other big cities as well to the third world.
Britain tried, but in the end failed to become a “major European province”. That’s ok. Please retire in your old people’s home and sink away in daydreaming of the past, “of the days that are no more”. Don’t get us continental Europeans in the way. We are going to replace you with Russians, who ARE eager to have a European future. With them we should be able to get the upper hand over Washington and organize a split between the “anglo-zionists” owning Washington and those alt-right European Americans, who consider their country as over and are yearning for a European (“white”) future, not unlike the aspirations of the Russians.
In the end we Europeans world-wide (white race, Christian-Roman heritage) should aim for a common-wealth of European peoples, in the spirit of the great American visionary Samuel Huntington and together with the Chinese should aim for a multi-polar world, where civilizations based on millennia old principles should co-exist and compete/cooperate. All these American post-WW2 institutions, build around US hegemony (UN, dollar, IMF, worldbank, etc), should be abolished and set up anew, for instance under the name “United Civilizations” and give a seat to everybody on this planet (Euro’s, Chinese, Muslims, Africans, Latin-America, Japanese, Indians), not just the socalled winners of WW2 (the only real winners where the ones that instigated that war, namely international jewry and their American water carriers), where the whole ideas is that these civilizations remain largely segregated and that most of all, the people that are most threatened, white folk, can have a future and that after we have cleaned up the industrial mess on this planet we can jump into space and set up a scientific empire there.
Once an imperialist, always an imperialist. 😉

“The Noose Tightens Around The EU’s Neck”
https://tinyurl.com/yde5r9bc
“Last weekend’s protests across France may have done far more damage than just smashed windows and stolen iPhones. The depth of French anger at the neoliberal globalist policies of President Emmanuel Macron has finally been heard. And Macron’s response may be exactly the thing needed to destroy what is left of imperial Europe’s credibility. Macron’s handling of these protests have been nothing short of abysmal. He began November the darling of the globalist set I like to call The Davos Crowd, excoriating any sense of national pride, likening it to terrorism. He also called for the creation of a Grand Army of the EU and pushed hard for banking federalization to consolidate power under Brussels over the currency, the true Achilles’ heel of the EU itself. Then a planned tax hike on diesel fuel, which was sold to the French as a way to combat global warming, as part of the EU’s unquenchable desire to tilt at climate windmills, erupted in a nation-wide peaceful protest.”
“Correct me if I’m wrong but France is already running a budget deficit that defies EU regulations. So, how is Macron going to pay for these programs and cuts? Does Brussels even care? No, they don’t because Macron is one of theirs so anything that can save his government from extinction will be tolerated. But what this move by Macron signifies is how close the Yellow Vests are to winning, because there’s no way these kinds of things would be on the table if the political winds hadn’t shifted far enough to leave him badly exposed.”
“The best part about this move by Macron is that Italy’s Matteo Salvini, a man who walks through crowds in Rome like he’s the messiah, can use this to enflame Italian passions (not a difficult proposition, let me tell you) over just how unfair the EU is treating them with respect to their budget. Salvini is looking at this proposal of Macron’s like it truly is manna from heaven. But for the EU, does it really have any other choice? When you’ve stepped off the cliff and are falling, anything you can do to keep from hitting the ground is what you do regardless of the long-term damage. Survival is all that matters. And that’s exactly where the EU and Macron are now. Every action they take to try and hold this dysfunctional and tyrannical union together is only tightening the noose around their necks and hastening their eventual demise. The more they struggle to maintain control in one place the more they empower their enemies in another. The little Dutch Boy in Brussels is running out of fingers.”

https://tinyurl.com/y6vlq84r
“Progress in the United States/China trade war seems to be happening at just the right time. The automobile industry in China has been crippled, partly as a result of this trade war, partly due to the ongoing domestic economic slowdown in the mainland, and absent major subsidies – which don’t appear to be coming – the outlook for the rest of 2018 and 2019 is not promising. The collapse has been historic and according to new data, continued through November. November data confirmed a continuation of the ugly trends that we discussed last month. For instance, passenger vehicle wholesales were down 16.1% on the year, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. This data includes sedans, SUVs and crossover utility vehicles.”
“As a result, CICC now expects China’s full year production and sales to drop more than 5% year-over-year for 2018. This would be the first annual decline in Chinese car sales in nearly three decades.”

Hello
Its happy holidays! Not everyone on here believes in Jebus..
And god impregnated a teenage virgin without her consent!
Hello on Thu, 13th Dec 2018 12:26 pm
>> Its happy holidays!
Sorry, it’s still Christmas. Whether you believe or not. Just like ramadan is ramadan, whether you follow the rapist/murderer moron or not.
So MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE, except to you MOB. To you I wish “good luck”.

“Another year gone and you guys still insult each other about the same old shit. AMAZING !”
I agree Hello, I am open to breaking the cycle but others here refuse to change. That is the problem with unmoderated sites where extremist settle in.

Happy Christmas to you all. Happy Hanukkah Mob.

“You lie about everything”
A bit exaggerated, LOL. Please give me examples of lies to review.
“evade any discussion about history”
I am not going to stoop to your level neder. You are a revisionist and a liar.
“I work on one of the most complex machines on the planet, one that actually works”
Right, you are a bot dealing with digital nonsense. I deal with natural complexity your little world can never touch.
“where your ambition level is fully maxed out with concentrating on goat shit, perfectly indicating your limited intellectual spanwidth.”
Geeze, you fruit cakes will not let the goat thing alone. I have cattle and goat. The cattle are a bigger part of my operation. I have a permaculture farm with an off the grid home complete with garden, orchard, and grapes. I think I deal with more brainwidth than you.
“You are glad you have an escape route into the safety of Europe,”
I love Europe and America. This is my home and I will likely die here. Italy is an option because my wife is from there and has property there. I think that is normal life. You make such a big deal out of nothing turning your fictional world into wild fantasy of war and terror.
“But you don’t want to admit it and prefer to hurl epithets”
You and others do the same neder. You and billy just are too proud to take the insults you deserve without being upset.

Yea, happy Holidays guys except MOB. Happy suicide day for MOB. That seems to be his godhead

” I am open to breaking the cycle but others here refuse to change. That is the problem with unmoderated sites where extremist settle in.”
Oops, sorry.
I was projecting again.
Now back to continuing the ‘cycle’ that I myself started six years ago and have zero intentions of bringing to an end.
“Yea, happy Holidays guys except MOB. Happy suicide day for MOB. That seems to be his godhead”
Dumbasses!

I think I could use my antisocial, psychopathic, sociopathic skills to convince people to vote for Trump. I can be very convincing when I want and I am excellent at manipulating people.
JuanP on Sun, 30th Aug 2015 5:40 am
…then you simply have a higher opinion of humans than I do. But what can I do? I am after all an admitted antisocial misanthrope. I just think most people suck!
JuanP on Fri, 12th Aug 2016 10:58 am
I stopped caring about humanity’s future a long time ago once I realized it was a waste of my time and energy. Now I think that it would be best for life on Earth if we ceased to exist as a species.
JuanP on Wed, 14th Sep 2016 9:59 pm
I struggle with the fact that I belong to the same species; I find myself emotionally and intellectually incapable of accepting the fact. That is why I consider myself a sui generis individual rather than a human animal.
JuanP on Sun, 26th Jun 2016 12:22 am
As far as I am concerned human beings are a bunch of arrogant and retarded ignorant fools and they deserve what’s coming. Call me selfish if you want, I don’t give a fuck!
JuanP on Fri, 15th May 2015 11:21 am
I did therapy for over a decade and most of it was a waste, but I had one therapist for a year who understood my issues and that helped, though I am still thoroughly screwed up.

They make me smile and happy and give me a brief respite from my cronic and acute depression.
JuanP on Sun, 17th Aug 2014 8:19 pm
I have suffered from cronic and acute clinical depression for most of my life, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
JuanP on Mon, 23rd May 2016 8:53 am
I was just telling my wife yesterday that I would very willingly give my arms, legs, tongue, eyes, ears, nuts, and dick to experience life like normal people do for just one hour to know what it feels like. I have been a seriously depressed realist since I have a memory. My first memory of my life is of leaning against a tree alone in my kindergarten’s playground looking at all the other kids playing, thinking how stupid their behavior was, and wondering why I wasn’t like them. I basically don’t interact with normal people anymore. They have nothing to offer me and I don’t want to give them anything.

The above identity theft by me is my latest attempt at breaking the cycle that I myself started six years ago.
Call me a hypocrite.

“We Don’t Mine Enough Rare Earth Metals to Replace Fossil Fuels With Renewable Energy”
This is a false meme that refuses to die. Some wind turbines use neodymium permanent magnets because it avoids the need for separate excitation of electromagnets, which is obviously more complex. But they don’t have to work that way. They could use pure iron cores with aluminium excitation coils.
Likewise, bearings often contain stellite, which is a cobalt alloy, because it is hardwaring. But they could be made from carbon steel, alloy steel, ceramics or phosphor bronze.
Wind turbines need not generate electric power. They could generate pressurised air, water, or direct mechanical power. One could couple dozens of turbines to a single ground based generator using a water power network.
Many thin film PV panels use cadmium telluride. But they can easily be made from amorphous silicon or titanium dioxide. Solar energy can produce thermal energy that can be used directly or used to raise power.
The real limitations of wind and solar energy are intermittency and low power density. The first, we have discussed before. The second results in wind electricity requiring at least ten times the steel and concrete investment of a comparable nuclear based electricity system. However, the wind based system is simpler and quicker to build.

Look Mob, what Morroco is doing! They now have a (French-built) TGV:

Muslims at 320 kmh!

Perhaps import a few of those Morrocan engineers and get some serious work done.

Just kidding, better directly go for the French original.

No. Happy Hanukkah Millikike. Maybe if the world collapses in the next two weeks, you can get better acquainted with Taylor Swift over Christmas. If you’re lucky, she won’t have a permit to carry.

When the collapse hits in a few year, the men will rape the women brutally …. There will be two or three men on one woman sometimes even — husbands and children were forced to watch …. the younger more attractive women will be raped multiple times and be passed around by the men..
