Kunstler: Coercion Meets Its Match
Like the fabled spring zephyr came news that the Golden Golem of Greatness, (a.k.a. President Trump) signed an executive order that would withhold federal funding from colleges and universities that do not demonstrate support for free speech. It has been an amazement to behold the appalling, hypocritical suppression of the first amendment on campuses across the nation, with their ignoble speech codes, asinine safe spaces, sinister kangaroo courts, and racist anti-whiteness crusades.
Most wondrous of all has been the failure of college presidents, deans, trustees, and faculty chairs to assert their authority and do the right thing — namely, take a stand against the arrant muzzling of free expression by campus Stalinists. Their craven passivity is a symptom of what future historians will identify as the epic institutional collapse of higher education, which first made itself into an industry like any other moneygrubbing business, and then became a titanic racketeering operation. And now it is all coming to grief.
In the years ahead, you will see colleges go out of business at a shocking rate and the contagion will spread to the giant state systems around the country. In my little region alone, several colleges have published their own obituaries in the last few months: Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vermont; Southern Vermont College in Bennington; and Hampshire College over in Amherst, MA (which is desperately searching for a buyout). That’s just the beginning of a wave of closures that will send tens of thousands of academic hierophants flooding the unemployment offices while sleeping in their cars.
It’s not hard to see how this fiasco developed and blossomed. In the 1960s, when I was in college, Marxism offered a neat, pre-engineered template for opposing the odious Establishment that blundered into the Vietnam War. Students then at least had skin in the game: the threat of getting drafted into the army and shipped over to die in the jungle for a senseless conflict. In fact, many young men unsuited for college took refuge there to evade the military. Then, with a bull market in Boomer Generation PhDs, the faculties were soon filled with the former Sixties radicals.
Many were Boomer women, who set out to explain and correct the evolving relations of men and women in the office workplace of the day. By then the war was over. The sick economy of the 1970s put an end to the ability of men to support a family and more women were forced to enter the office environment. Meanwhile radical progressivism needed an ever-fresh supply of new aggrieved parties to justify its agitation against the old Marxist bugbears of bourgeois values and structural oppression — and incidentally fuel academic careers. Hence, the multiplication of victims into handy intersectional categories.
By the 1980s, it also became evident that 60s civil rights legislation to end Jim Crow laws had not solved the quandaries of race in America, and that disappointment refreshed the progressive crusade to heal the world of injustice and inequality. Every other effort to produce equal outcomes for different categories of people had also proved disappointing, so now progressives resort to plain coercion to force equal outcomes at all costs, and nowhere is that behavior more overt than on campus the past decade.
The delusion that everybody must have a college education finally turned Higher Ed into a racket, when the federal government decided to guarantee college loans — which only prompted colleges to ramp up tuitions way beyond the official inflation rate and undertake massive expansion programs in the competition for the expanding base of student customer-borrowers. Almost all colleges acted as facilitators to this loan racket, though with federal guarantees they had no skin in that game. Now, outstanding student loan debt is $1.5 trillion, and about 40 percent of it is nonperforming, in euphemistic banker jargon. The student borrowers have been fleeced, many of them financially destroyed for life, and they have only begun to express themselves politically.
The anxiety and remorse behind that dastardly financial behavior, and the prospect of coming institutional ruin, is probably a big factor behind the engineered social justice hysterias that paradoxically made college campuses the most intellectually unfree — and intellectually unsafe! —places in the land. And turned all those college presidents into cowards and cravens. Since coercion is the only behavior modification college administrators understand these days, it’s reasonable that Mr. Trump use federal grant largesse as a lever to end the structural despotism of campus culture. The stumbling economy will take care of the rest.

PM May’s ultimate threat against ERG: “if you don’t vote for my deal, I’ll allow parliament to vote for Remain”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6838125/Humiliated-Theresa-given-just-two-week-extension-Brexit-April-12.html
“PM may allow MPs to vote on SEVEN options – including a second referendum and cancelling Brexit – if her deal fails next week, sparking fury from Leavers who brand plot a ‘national humiliation'”
And since parliament already voted against a no deal, Remain could become the way-out-of-last-resort, to avoid a no-deal Brexit.
Friend and foe agree that the country is not ready, too divided for a clear decision.

“18 Statistics That Prove That America Has Become An “Idiocracy””
Only 18? Ah, but they are good ones!
http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/18-statistics-that-prove-that-america-has-become-an-idiocracy
“Since 2006 our nation has been “dumbed down” at a pace that is absolutely staggering, and it is difficult to see a positive future for America if this trend continues…
A few years ago, an eighth grade exam from 1912 was donated to the Bullitt County History Museum. To me, it is absolutely amazing what kids living in rural Kentucky were expected to know a little over 100 years ago.
You can find a copy of the exam right here, and as I looked it over I quickly realized that most college students would have an exceedingly difficult time trying to pass such a test today.”
There is no “positive future” for America. It is too late.

Kunstler has joined the Alex Jones weird mental illness crowd with his half baked “political correctness” mumbo jumbo, he’s clearly got a huge racist hangup which is pretty weird from a hooked noser, who should know where that type of conduct ends. However, it’s true too much money has been thrown at marketing degrees when the real need in the economy is for capable tradespeople and engineers that know how to build public transit.
makati1 on Fri, 22nd Mar 2019 10:49 pm
Kunt, you got one thing right…”college KIDS”.
There are no adults in college these days, just snowflakes. The US is sinking deeper into the stupid level every day. Imagine a school system where 40% correct answers is passing! It is no wonder that the US cannot make anything that works. All of the really intelligent, educated US engineers are retired or dead.
If the US actually had to go to a real war? Hell over 70% would not even be eligible for the military. Stupidity, obesity, drugs, criminal records, etc. I watch the freak show called America and shake my head. So much decline in my 75 years. So little to brag about. America is no longer beautiful or free.

Kunstler is disproving (on his micro-level) all I have said about this tribe. He knows what is coming and says so, I’ll gladly forgive him making the same blunder I did (until December 2012), namely believing in the acute significance of peak conventional oil. He is a self-described “Teuton Hebrew”. I would say that the Teuton has the better of him. He is old Jewish left, not a neocon fanatic. He knows that “global Zion” (NWO) is a lost cause. “Peak Jew”, that was 1933, when they both had the governments of the USA and USSR, with follow-up lower subsequent geopolitical kosher maximums in 1945 (US Jewry had won WW2, a war they instigated, but lost the USSR) and 1991, the oligarch capture of Russia, until in 2000 Vladimir the Great appeared on the scene and dashed all hopes of a world in the hands of the Self-Chosen.
Now it is all downhill for kosherdom, as they have already publicly admitted:
https://documents1940.wordpress.com/2019/01/07/the-good-news-zog-is-dying/
The best they can hope for is that they can at least hold on to Anglosphere (“Judaic State”), but not even that is certain. Kunstler believes in exactly what I believe in, in a balkanized America, as “racial communism” works nowhere (certainly not in Israel.lol)…

The DailyMail and Peter Oborne in particular (include my nothingness) have been supporters of the May-deal. They are losing faith in that option:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-6841363/PETER-OBORNE-fear-Mrs-finished-goes-mayhem-looms.html
May is as good as out, inflexible as she is and 100% committed to a scheme that will never have a majority in a TOTALLY FRACTURED UK PARLIAMENT. Britain is lacking a sense of purpose. This whole Brexit farce is a prank and nothing else. It is an expression of nostalgia back to the 19th century, when Britain mattered, a century that is long over. If a no-deal brexit will happen, expect Britain to turn into Europe’s own Cuba.
The same btw applies to the majority of Americans who still love to dream about a second American century.
Not.Going.To.Happen.

So how is this going to be played out? May could probably not even bother to try a third vote, if this Bercow speaker of the house fella would allow for it to happen in the first place. Next week we’ll see a series of (non-binding) “indicative votes”, a desperate move to get an idea of what majority does exist, if any.
An open question for me is if Parliament will have the nerve to do what it quietly wants most: simply cancel this catastrophic Brexit altogether, despite the outcome of the 2016 referendum and revoke article 50. A European judge has already ruled that Britain has this option and doesn’t need approval of Brussels. Carry on as if nothing has happened.
I think 40/60 this will not happen and 60/40 that Britain will crash out. Perhaps in five years time, when the dust has settled, some Norway deal could be hammered out.

“while plenty of Americans sleep easy thinking that such an atrocity as the invasion and occupation of Iraq could never happen again, the U.S. government has continuously been involved in many smaller, equally disastrous wars — both seen and unseen — largely thanks to the fact that those who brought us the Iraq War remain both respected and still present in the halls of power.”
“Yet arguably more important than the lies told in the direct lead-up to the war, is the conclusive evidence that key officials in the Bush administration, many of them members of the neoconservative organization known as the Project for a New American Century (PNAC), had planned and called for an invasion of Iraq long before the September 11th attacks had even taken place.”

Cloggie misunderstanding the hold up of Brexit is misreading the reality. The English want to vote for Brexit. The hold up is that if Labour votes for remain they’ll lose tonnes of working class votes who want Brexit. Tory voters who vote remain will never vote Labour. Teresa May ALREADY agreed that she will step down after Brexit, that was part of her deal to get the deal in the first place, the one they already voted for. The hold up is that the DUP and northern Ireland (whoes majority voted remain) don’t wish to be treated seperately from the UK in any trade scenario with an indefinite backstop. Brexit will happen, because even without a time limit on a backstop the Northern Irish issue remains one of simply retaining its status as a free state in the UK system and not part of the EU. However the risk is that the rising republican movement will eventually be able to vote to join the Republic of Ireland unless the EU agrees to permanently wed the north of Ireland to the UK. Since the Rep of Ireland have been good little European drones for the last 30 years the EU is backing the Rep of Irelands cause in this regard.
So please, stop attacking parliament as if you know anything and start blaming the real problem ie the stupid Irish who can never sort out their own problems and rely on bigger countries to help them.

Ireland is a tiny ponzi economy that is primed to detonate. Brexit could be the spark that burns it down, especially with the mainland European countries already in recession. The global financial crisis hit Ireland particularly hard, because of its very high ratio of financial assets to prosperity. The next crisis will hit them even harder.
https://surplusenergyeconomics.wordpress.com/2018/09/05/134-an-extremity-of-risk/
Irish GDP per capita gives a misleading impression of real prosperity there, as much of this money is corporate earnings by globalist corporations, that repatriate the money paying minimal corporate tax or wages to local people. Outside of Dublin, you will find plenty of poor people in Ireland. Cloggie would know that had he ever been there and seen the situation on the ground. The real country looks like 1980s Britain.

“How To Identify A Globalist Criminal”
https://tinyurl.com/y2l4mpv8 Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com
“push the notion that globalism is a purely “Jewish conspiracy”. And, as our social and economic structures grow more unstable, people look for easy answers and the idea is starting to gain some traction. Their claim? It’s all about the Jews, all the globalists are Jewish or somehow secretly related to Jews or are married to Jewish partners, etc. This is simply false, so let’s get this out of the way…The Jewish conspiracy narrative, I believe, is 4th generation warfare, a psychological operation, an attempt to mislead liberty movement activists away from a much deeper and darker issue. It also may be an attempt to attach the movement to white supremacy or white identity groups as if they are interchangeable.”
“The vast majority of globalists are not of Jewish origin and are not zionist in their political affiliations. While there are sectors of globalist institutions that have more Jewish people than others (such as the Federal Reserve), this does not indicate a majority or any sort of broad “Jewish conspiracy”. On the contrary, the directorial boards and memberships of most globalist institutions have a small minorities of Jews, and are majority Anglo in origin.”

“France Is The Socialist Future We Should Dread”
https://tinyurl.com/yxwrkt5w
Authored by Veronique de Rugy via The American Institute for Economic Research,
“France is, though, such a mess. That’s because there is one aspect in particular that the AOCs and Sanderses of the world fail to mention to their followers when they talk about their socialist dream: all of the goodies that they believe the American people are entitled to receive in fact come at a great cost -–and so the only way to pay for these goodies is with oppressive and regressive taxes (i.e., taxes heaped on to the backs of the middle class and the poor). France was once a role model for what big government can do for its people. But it has become an embarrassing example since “The Gilets Jaunes” took to the streets to demonstrate against the insane amount of taxes they pay. These guys aren’t upper class. They are the people who have until now supported the policies that are inevitable when you have the government providing so many services and involved so deeply in so much of the economy.”
“As a reminder, the payroll tax is very regressive; it consumes a larger share of low and middle class earners than rich people. In addition: Then Europe adds a regressive consumption tax, the value-added tax. In France, VAT and other consumption taxes make up 24% of revenue, and that’s on the low side compared to an OECD average of 33%. Consumption taxes often fall hardest on the poor and middle class, who devote a greater proportion of their income to consumption. To be sure, the spending is also more regressive in France in that the biggest share goes to the middle and low-income earners. But it is a stupid system in which you tax one group to redistribute to that same group. Add one more increase to an already high (and regressive) gas tax in France to the existing 214 taxes and duties and the people went nuts. They have been protesting continuously since November 17th, 2018. I don’t condone the violence, but I understand why the protestors are so furious.”
“The bottom line is this. All those people in America who currently fall for the socialism soup that AOC and Sanders are selling need to realize that if their dream came to pass, they, not the rich – not the bankers and politicians – will be ones suffering the most from the high taxes, high unemployment, and slow growth that go hand in hand with the level of public spending they want. Everyone would suffer, of course. But those who will be screwed the most are definitely those at the bottom.”

Just study the rest of the site for more interesting information and you perfectly understand why the Germans acted like they did. Because if you don’t, they take over your country and establish a devastating dictatorship. Like they did to the USSR, the fate Germany would like to escape. And like they will do to the US, using their imported third world foot-soldiers, they are setting up against you, white man, as the new proletariat-of-color, fighting “white privilege” all the way, in the name of “anti-racism”, that goes without saying.
Secession, with continental European help, is the only way out.

Is that all you got cloggo? Are you catching your breath from 20/7 postings? I am sure this forum is not the only place you puke your shit. You really are a freak.

“I was obviously not talking about the state level, but federal level, the level that matters to the world.”
OH, now the loud mouth extremist backtracks. The state matter one hell of a lot you jut have no clue about the US because you are stuck in a blinded Jew/racism agenda.
“The CFR is hands-down the most important foreign policy body.”
Foreign policy is run by many different special interests. The Jews re accommodated because that is part of the game, cloggo. They are a power at that level I do not deny. What is a lie is your assertion that is all that runs the show.
“Uh-oh: https://thezog.wordpress.com/who-controls-the-council-on-foreign-relations-part-1/”
I don’t read you wordpress bullshit. That is your personal puke place.
“The media (the “brains” of the average American):”
Increasingly no, you are wrong there. Tranditional MSM is going by the wayside being swept away by multiple other diverse sources on the web.

The bottom line is this. All those people in America who currently fall for the socialism soup that AOC and Sanders are selling need to realize that if their dream came to pass, they, not the rich – not the bankers and politicians – will be ones suffering the most from the high taxes, high unemployment, and slow growth that go hand in hand with the level of public spending they want
Sure, but in the US, with its disastrous demographics…
https://documents1940.wordpress.com/2018/05/21/european-america-is-over/
…, after Trump, the AOCs and Sanders’ are going to win anyway. There is nothing you can do about it (other then fight your way out).
So you can rant all you want about “French socialism”, but it is coming your way as well anyway.

No I don’t. Russians, Chinese and Europeans have no interaction with US state level. That’s interesting for hillbillies like you only.

“Italy Defies West As It Officially Joins China’s “Neocolonial Project”
https://tinyurl.com/y3blubra zero hedge
“With Brussels and Washington helplessly looking on, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Italian Prime Minister signed a historic memorandum of understanding Saturday morning in Rome that made Italy the first founding EU member, and the first G-7 nation, to officially sign on to Beijing’s “One Belt, One Road” economic development initiative – one of President Xi Jinping’s signature ventures which many have called China’s shadow project to re-colonize the world’s poorer nations. Along with the MoU, the two leaders signed development deals covering everything from port management, to science and technology, to e-commerce to soccer that were reportedly worth up to $20 billion. Though OBOR (or BRI) has promised to strengthen trade links between the West and East, it has been derided in Washington and Europe as “debt trap diplomacy” and a neocolonial project by Vice President Mike Pence, and others.”
“Though Italy is directly defying Washington’s warnings about the ‘national security threat’ endemic to doing business with Chinese state-backed companies, with Italy’s economy mired in recession, and the outlook for growth dim, Beijing has offered Rome’s ruling populists something that Brussels and the West haven’t been willing, or able, to offer: An unprecedented economic boon, as we explained earlier today. Now, the question is, just how hard the US and Brussels will recoil at Italy’s ruling populists for allowing Beijing to claim a critical stake in the heart of Europe’s continent.”

Italy is dumping Northern Europe cloggo but you pretend otherwise. It’s called Balkanization BTW another European creation.

You are wrong, as usual. Italy is an early adopter in western Europe regarding all things populism. There is no way that Italy is “dumping Europe”, only America. Salvini intends to take over the EU as the European populist with the highest profile. But what do you know, mr WishfulThinking:

“Matteo Salvini mulls bid for Commission presidency”

http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/lega-afd-und-ex-front-national-matteo-marine-und-viktor-fuer-europa-a-1228506.html
“Italiens Vizepremier Matteo Salvini wird zum neuen Stern der europäischen Nationalisten, gefeiert von Marine Le Pen und Viktor Orbán. Sie wollen nicht mehr “raus aus Europa”, sie wollen es übernehmen.”
(Salvini, le Pen and Orban no longer want to leave the EU, they want to take it over)
Salvini wants to get rid of US kikes, just like Orban:

As I said, the right is winning in Europe. And when we finished off the left, we’ll go after you, provided the US alt-right can do the groundwork and initiate a serious uprising.
Questions?

If Italy is not dumping Europe, it isn’t dumping Northern Europe either.

quit stuttering cloggo. Italy is sick and tired of being used by the north. They are going to stick it to you greedy bastards.

As usual, empire dave indulges in wishful thinking, completely ignoring the material I presented above.
It is the familiar pattern: the punk hillbilly launches a smear without any substantiation (France and Germany “greedy” or Italy “used” by the north) and opines he is finished. All in two sentences, coinciding with his intellectual span width.
The truth is that your refuge of choice is giving your club the finger and defects into Eurasia. As I said, Italy is an early adopter:

But perhaps geopolitics is not your “cup-of-tea”. Fortunately you have a fallback scenario: goat cheese.
