UK PM Has resigned and Trump Goes from Strength to Strength

Lots of news from the political world.

Theresa May has resigned as PM, effective June 7, after a state visit by Donald Trump. See further below for links.

President Trump just goes from strength to strength, heading off now to Japan for a very visible state visit with his friend the Japanese PM Shinzo Abe, and the new emperor, too -- and probably some significant economic announcement (many rumors are afoot to that effect), and he's walloping China, as well (no more smiling Panda: they're talking about a "long march" again!). His economic news is very good. (And this is the UK Guardian, mind you.)

The Chinese dragon is enraged but its wings are getting clipped. Trump has outmaneuvered them with Japan -- and now India (where PM Modi has just won big: https) -- on his side, and of course now Australia has rejected the "Watermelons" (socialist red on the inside and environmentally "green" on the outside) after a significant election there on May 18. Add that to Brazil's new president is amazing, consecrating Brazil to the B.V.M. no less! 

Trump seems to be part of a world-wide nationalist trend. This is what populism looks like, and of course "the powers that be" hate it.

So, with ALL THAT going on, it is significant to note that finally President Trump has ordered declassification of the various documents necessary to prove the whole "Russian Collusion" was a true Delusion, and in fact, an attempt to unseat a duly elected president. (I've been saying for some time now that the Democrats were treating 2016 election about the way they treated the 1860 election; it is incredible, if you think about it, that a very large portion of Democrats refuse to believe Donald J. Trump is actually a valid president, but that was also the case with the second George Bush.) Trump is doing this through Attorney General William Barr, giving the A.G. full power to handle the entire business.

This is quite a massive responsibility for Bill Barr.

An excerpt:

Additionally, AG Bill Barr does not need to assemble the intelligence product for approval by the executive (Trump).  Instead the office of the president is granting the AG full unilateral decision-making as to each product being considered for declassification. ...

This is a huge amount of trust from the President to the Attorney General, and a big responsibility for William Barr:...

So far, the Attorney General has demonstrated he's a true law-and-order A.G. and refuses to be pushed around by anyone, whether Bob Mueller (Bob was just a figurehead to the investigation's real boss, Andrew Wissemann, who really ran the Mueller investigation) or Nancy Pelosi or the Democrat Senators -- or anyone. Bill Barr is amazing, and it looks like the Collusion Delusion conspirators will soon be "paying the Barr bill."

Pelosi's answer to all this was to run. As in flight. Hide. Lie low. As in get-outta-Dodge. She's put the House of Representatives on holiday for ten days (Mitch McConnell "Cocaine Mitch" is keeping the Senate in session). The truth is she's lost control over events and lost control over her Democrats. The vicious "young guns" like Sandy Cortez and Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, true antisemites, are running the show, anyway, pushing her around shamelessly. Also, if you've been watching Pelosi speak in public over the past few days, especially since Trump confronted her and Shumer in the White House on Wednesday, she's having trouble being coherent, showing difficulty in pushing nouns and verbs together and counting on one hand (holding up two fingers and saying "three things" and so on). She's pushing 80 and though that's not necessarily "old", everyone ages differently. And the stress of having the Young Turks (of all stripes) demanding Trump's impeachment, seems to have cowed her. She's between Scylla and Charybdis in that she's got antisemitic Leftist communist wackos on one hand and on the other, "mainstream" Democrats demanding they actually DO some thing constructive with their majority, or they'll be thrown out of power next year. These regular "rank and file" Dem politicians are desperate.

No wonder 'San Fran Nan" is reduced to speaking in gibberish. Meanwhile, Jerry Nadler, who is 71, is not doing too well, either, collapsing on state yesterday.

The "Dem Show" is about over. The end credits are starting to run. And these leaders know it. Some big trade announcements from Japan will make them all look even more petty and clueless.

Also, of course, I'm sure a lot of Democrats wanted Trump impeached now, right now, no waiting, because that might hinder him releasing and declassifying all these various documents that will blow the whole cover on the Russian Collusion narrative -- they could say (and some are saying today) that Trump is "obstructing justice" by releasing all this.

They're too late; kitty is out of the bag and he's a tiger. They've been doomed since Barr forced Mueller to close up shop and submit his badly written 400+ report (readers of it say it would have got an F in law school, as it is disjointed, repetitive, etc.) and by the time the House is back in session -- well, we'll see, for ten days is simply an eternity in politics. But the Democrat Party is looking like a full trainwreck. Since the 2018 election they've accomplished nothing but an ineffective and spiteful harassment of Trump. It's like the Donald lives rent-free in what passes for their minds. It's incredible. (And of course wickedly fun to watch.)

We're watching history in the making, of course. The Democrat Party will be destroyed, and destroyed by the Leftists who have completed their "Long March" to seize it in absolute control terms. One may say this is 1972 come again, when the Democrats went (what at that time passed for) hard left and lost massively to Nixon. Or it is probably more likely this is the final flowering of the seeds planted in 1972 (well, 1968, to be more exact -- and it goes back into the 1930s if you read Bella Dodd, etc.; a very "long march" indeed!).

The "moderate" Dems, if any are left, and whatever Jewish Democrats remain (as a pure matter of simple survival) will have to form up with the "GOPe" "RINO" Globalist Republicans in a true "Uniparty", and Trump can form his own version of a Populist Republican "Brexit Party" -- perhaps a fantasy in terms of being de jure reality, but a reality in being de facto. We're seeing it "in real time".

By the way, the Brexit Party seems to have cleaned house in England. And now I'm reading that Theresa May has resigned. 

Apparently the Brexit Party has dominated the UK European elections.

No doubt the nationalist parties will win in much of Europe now, particularly so in central European countries such as Hungary (the election here is tomorrow) and in Poland, etc. The pro-EU ads I've seen here are ridiculously maudlin and so on, very "turn offy".

The Leftist/Globalst/One-Worlders can't seem to get a break.

As though in a mirror image, this very same thing is unfolding now with the Modernist-Progressives and their Communist Pope in the Catholic Church -- they have seized that organization at an institutional level, yet they'll find they've seized nothing because the Catholic Catholics will not be ruled by such.

Both types of Leftists, secular and religious, think they've "entered in" at long last to power, as it were, but instead they'e "locked themselves out". It's like an insider cabal taking over a club only to find all the due-paying members have quit.

And this is why (and a big "why" it is indeed) Leftists always must use force to keep the unwilling masses in their demented Utopias -- without force, people "vote with their feet" (as Comrade Lenin once said) and walk away. That tactic can't work in a Church and it certainly can't work in a political party, not unless that party's leaders somehow seize absolute police power and force them to stay in.

So, obviously, U.S. citizens who are the famous "deplorables", need to keep their guns. And their ammo. Force is what it will come down to in the end, because the simple truth is that without force, the Leftists will be left looking idiotic, deranged, and very much emasculated -- which they already do a great job of all of those, but especially the last one.

China Africa, nasty Westerners, and Reparation: an answer to a Leftist

Someone of the Left wrote recently about some comments of mine a relatively standard Leftist response. I took some time to reply. Here it is, first, the Leftist. For the most part, I left the spelling as it was written.

{T]he biggest issues are missing  from [An Préachán]s analysis. they are: slavery, colonialism, neo-colonialism and imperialism. trillions spent on arms race, and now trum [Trump] wants to colonize the space. terrorism has cost europe 200 billion euros in ten years, fine. how much is the worth of all the human and material resources stolen from Africa? a thousand times as much? ten thousand times as much? and now these poor africans are trying to cross the med. just for the opportunity to make a small living for themselves and their families that they left behind. the truth is the only way to save white man's honor a small bit is a massive marshall plan type of program in africa to stop the desperate migration. the ultimate truth is that we have created a barbarian civilisation based on money and power run  by ignorant and selfish people like trump. it cannot last, it is sooner or later doomed. this utter nationalism and global capitalism is a disaster: the inequality is unbearable, the rich are getting richer, some are getting crumbs, and the poor are getting poorer.

My rejoinder: 

In response, I'd express a couple of basic ideas. First, in general, one has to deal with the world as it is, not as one wishes it to be. Second, an individual may well feel responsible for their ancestors' wretched behavior, and try to do something about it, sure, but depriving your own children in order to repay strangers for some ancestral sin won't sit well with your children.

This is just human nature.

Then, as for past colonialism justifying current invasions, consider:

http://dailycaller.com/2018/06/30/china-targets-africa-with-debt-trap-diplomacy-and-military-expansion/

According to a recent report, Chinese investment in Africa could create national economies entirely dependent on China.

Although infrastructure projects can create jobs, provide an opportunity for skills development and the transfer of new technologies, Chinese loans  amounting to more than $86 billion bring dangerously high levels of debt that can prove unsustainable for vulnerable African nations.

The lure of short-term benefits for developing or troubled economies while masking long-term burdens is exactly the scenario now playing out in Pakistan, which is becoming progressively subjugated by Chinese loan-based investment

Africa faces immediate, dire, chilling "recolonization" by China. This is extremely important to know about and to call everyone's attention to.

Besides this, Africa has myriad problems we can't solve. One small example: South Africa is driving out its Whites. Someone might say, "Good! They deserve it!" but only a certain type of mind will agree with you. Everyone else sees such a development as both unjust and "racist". Also, as noted above, Africa is being exploited today -- and the Chinese are big into that. They're investing heavily in Africa, and have a military base somewhere in the Horn of Africa now. The point: Does anyone think the Chinese give a damn about "past wrongs" or "colonialism". (Try going to their embassy and protesting their actions.) True, they too were taken advantage of in that way in the past, just look up the Opium War for an example of Western perfidy. But the Opium War doesn't mean modern Britain should be invaded by the Red Chinese People's Liberation Army.

Of course, perhaps you'd still rather live as a subject of the Red Dragon than as a British colonial. Fine. But that's your decision. Others don't have to take it, and it is unjust to force it on them.

More generally about "nations" and "nationalism": People are born into nations that have languages and culture, both language and culture being traditional and rooted in the soil and also in their ancestors' past lives and in the lives and experience of the current generation. It's a holistic experience to be Irish, or German, or Magyar, or whatever. You can't just tell them to forget it, pack up, move aside, go away as their nations now belong to X, or is it Y? Maybe Z. Whoever, someone who able to make a claim that their ancestors were taken advantage of in the past. But beware: people will react very negatively to that.

That's a great way, in short, to start a revolution. And get yourself in serious trouble with everyone around you.

Also, there's no argument in: "My grandfather owned your grandfather, so I have to give you my house." You, yourself, if you want, can do that, but then the obvious question is, (again, as noted above) where do your wife and kids live? You usurp their rights to an identity. Not to mention a home. And what would your brothers and sisters say? And as noted, try to do that to your neighbors and they might attack you.

Bottom line: One generation can't owe its contemporaries for previous generations' sins. First of all, it is simply unjust. But practically, who could possibly determine how much would be owed, and then who would have the power force the redistribution? And then, thirdly, to whom would such redistribution go? Fourthly, who could handle the social upheaval and civil war that would result?

Yet it is the inherent injustice of the idea that prohibits it. An individual is owed the respect every human owes another, and that includes respect for their person and their private property; without respect for private property, we have nothing, because all we have can be taken away. Also, it is theft to take from someone who has done nothing wrong, even if one's ancestors manifestly did not show the natural respect one human owes another.

Example: How could I, being Irish, demand of the English (many of whom are of Irish descent) that they give me a bunch of money because they starved my ancestral family to death, all except for the two who escaped, one to American and the other to Australia?

Then there's slavery today. Sex slavery (usually). We need to stop that before we pontificate on reparation for our ancestors acts. In England, now, today, literally thousands of young English girls have been treated as "sex slaves" by Muslim immigrants and/or their English-born children. That's not something from the past, but all too very much in the present. Or would you dare to consider such repeated rape a good atonement for England's rule of India (and Pakistan)? A just comeuppance?

Related to all this is the perennial and unstoppable problem with Socialism. Socialism is an utopian idea; people simply won't work for free. Elizabeth once told me she thought being a doctor was like being a priest, one did it for conviction, not pay. Well, treat doctors like that and you won't have too many of them.

Far more to the point, [the author] brings ups slavery and colonialism. Islam was essentially -- aside from its famous handful of philosophers who managed to exist for a time after the Asherite takeover -- was a slave-trading empire. From the very beginning, it was all about slaves. Entire peoples were moved about the Middle East by Muslim rulers of various dynasties, and the great city of Alexandria, a wonder of the ancient world and the only purely intellectual and commerce-founded city in the ancient Mediterranean world, in one generation was turned into a fishing village. The Arab conquerors didn't know how to govern it, or even what it was for. So, when the populace rebelled (they were famously hard to rule) the emirs killed off a third of them, sold another third directly into slavery, and moved the rest to their new Egyptian capital city of Cairo.

Problem of what to do with Alexandria solved.

Also, something most of you don't know about: the Viking Age was funded by Arab silver. Arab slave markets on the Black Sea and the Caspian paid Swedes to run newly acquired slaves down the Russian rivers from the Baltic. The Norwegians and Danes captured the slaves in Western Europe and ran then over to the Swedes in the Baltic. So on and so forth.

In other words, why bemoan "the West's" "slavery, neo-colonialism, and imperialism" when it has always been a central element to Islam, and even humanity in general. They've always done so. They still do so. Act today to stop it today.

Finally, as for Trump being, as the Leftist puts it: "ignorant and selfish", well, guess what? Black Americans are doing much better financially under Trump than they ever did under Obama, and indeed, all Americans (legal ones) are doing much better financially under Trump. Jobs, money, companies, all are "coming home" to America, and Trump's popularity keep rising. It's not super high, of course. But it keeps rising slowly. National feeling is strong. And that's just natural, too.

Pretty good for a guy both ignorant and selfish.
