Do you believe in karma?

If you do, you may find this interesting.

Russian intelligence sources have claimed that Michael D’Andrea, head of CIA operations in Iran and who orchestrated the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, was killed in a US spy plane downed yesterday in Ghazni, Afghanistan.

Is it true? Who knows?

Don't leave anything important behind for the enemy to pick up

Don't know if anybody really cares, but our little adventure over there is costing us 250 million dollars a day.

Does money have any real value at all?

Or is it just notes between debtors and creditors?

I only ask because of all this bullshit I always hear about the deficit/national debt which are used to justify austerity and the coming cuts to existing earned benefits.

We could pay off the principal, and tell then banks to fuck off on the interest. Or just tell them to fuck off completely and zero the books ourselves. The government has that power. And then we can make labor the global currency instead of the petro-dollar, since the dollars aren't worth shit without the ass wipers to serve their master. I know I'm being all nationalistic and shit, but I thought it was kinda cool when the world thought American labor was the best labor, and they all sang Elvis tunes, worth every penny. But now, it's just the dollars. Even your ISIS guys have to be paid in dollars, or they jump over to work for Al Qaeda. Either way, there's lots of dollars in that business.

Who wants to convince me that putting some random homeless people in the white house and congress would be any worse than what we are doing to ourselves right now?

copy/pasta spam?

Paul wasn't the Walrus!

"Soros is hardly a Jew. I'm more of a Jew than Soros is. I probably know more about -- he doesn’t go to church, he doesn’t go to religion -- synagogue. He doesn't belong to a synagogue, he doesn't support Israel, he's an enemy of Israel. He's elected eight anarchist DA's in the United States. He's a horrible human being."

Far more dangerous for the owner and family than it is for any attacker.

Germans in favor of 'reducing reliance' on US
According to the poll, 55% of Germans believe that European members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) should protect themselves from an attack without US help.... In addition, a majority of poll participants believe the US should partially (23%) or completely (26%) withdraw its 30,000 troops stationed in Germany.

With that, the 74 year long truce will end. Part of the deal involved them not building up a lot of weapons for fear of the inevitable.

They release documents...

The war mongers see things differently of course, but they have no credibility:

The Syrian war has split the OPCW, once largely a technical organization, along political lines, with Russia and its ally Syria on one side and the United States, France and Britain on the other.

Play it again, Sam!

For the whiners:

Thomas Bowers, a former Deutsche Bank executive and head of the American wealth-management division, killed himself in Malibu, California, on Tuesday, November 19th, according to the Los Angeles county coroner’s initial report... Bowers was the boss of Donald Trump’s banker Rosemary Vrablic, according to a New York Times article in early 2019. Vrablic approved over $300 million dollars in high risk loans for Trump starting in 2010. Bowers personally signed off on the Deutsche Bank loan for Trump’s Doral resort, according to the New York Times report. Vrablic’s other clients have included Jared Kushner and Stephen M. Ross... Deutsche Bank and Trump have connections going back to 1998, and over 30 years, Trump has received over $2 billion dollars in loans from the bank.

When you sell your vote, you are no different than the person that bought it.

You all should quit bellyaching about the damn money. It's effects are a reflection on you. You're a soft target, an easy sell, and the reaction to that is classic, and tragedy is the result.
