Great Britain continued to 'survive' after its Empire collapsed after WW I, and was further exacerbated by WW II. Today, the Empire in which the 'sun never set' is only a shadow of what it once was. Throughout history, numerous empires and civilizations have collapsed and simply disappeared, with, like Great Britain, only a remnant that survives. Is this America's fate?

I have my own thoughts, but I'd be really curious to hear what others have to say.

Just as Rome became increasingly decadent prior to its collapse in 476, so goes America:

Check out Tiberius and Julia the Elder/Younger, Livia, Vispania Agrippina whom he was forced to divorce. Tiberius was a Philosopher who happened to be a good general, but was manipulated by debauched women

Already by the end of Augustus, gynocentric debauchery was taking hold. Tiberius, Augustus, and much later Domitian tried to "Fix" the debauchery by enforcing the Moral Codes, but it was too late.

In the Republic and the first few decades of Empire, Roman women were strictly controlled, but wealth and prosperity made Romans abandon their sense of duty and discipline over females. And surprise! The birthrate fell and frivolous spending took over, as it ALWAYS does when women are given license.

Also cheap labor slaves from Gaul and Germania imported by Roman Elites replacing Italian workers.

Just another sign, among more than you can number, of America's advanced state of decay. This is what's going on in America's schools:

After 20 years of war and bombing 7 nations, you are asking this?

Iraq would be the closest we've come to winning in a military sense. What did winning this war do for the good of this nation?

We're in a proxy war with Russia, we're going to lose that. It's not hard to predict it. Is the US military industrial complex involved? That results in disaster, every fucking time. When was the last time there was an exception? Grenada? Maybe the Bosnia war. It's just one fuckup after another, over and over and over again and there's these idiots that think "well, maybe 8th time is a charm!"

The US military is so reviled, that they cannot meet recruitment goals. They're bringing in transgendered people now. They are freaks, which is FINE, if it's not advertised.



Do you know why it's not advertised? Because it's used as propaganda when we go to war by the other side. Need to convince the Iraqis or Iranians or whatever that they are fighting on the morally right side, and the US is just a bunch of fucking degenerates? Pretty easy to do now.

At the same time it's like "hey kid, want to join up with the military?" and they see this stuff too.

A country that needs 5 days from landfall to establish basic order in a 2nd Tier City after spending $100s of Billions on Emergency Reactions is mismanaged.

And no, Katrina was not a 100 year storm, more like a 25 year storm. A storm that Gulf Resident can expect to see at least 3-4 times in a lifetime living there.

Simple answer is no. We as a people have been poisoned both mentaly and physically. We are divided past the point of no return. Our institutions are lost causes. Our press is owned by corporate conglomerates. Our banks are owned by a small minority that wants us enslaved. Our government is ran by sociopaths.

You have the government you deserve. Want a better one? Change it. Bitching on the internet won’t change anything. You have to go to meetings, form coalitions, spend time and money sponsoring candidates and training young people to be responsible participants in society. Do you think overturning Roe V Wade just happened? It took 40 years of hard work to make that happen.

Whatever is wrong with this country can be fixed if you get off your keyboard and start doing the work.

OK, how do you change it? Give me ANY ideas.

MY idea was to educate the fucking morons about what is going on, because you need to have support. People don't give a fuck if our government murdered 800,000 Iraqis over lies, and thinks that 'the US government would never do this to us!" but they will. Government has no problem murdering US citizens.

They did 9/11. They did the WTC bombing. The murdered David Koresh - Koresh didn't have any working weapons. The murdered Randy Weaver. They run drugs, our government is the largest drug dealer in this nation. They entrap people. The stole an election, they COMMONLY steal elections, been doing it since at least 2004.

That's the LEAST of their crimes and all of that is true. Now, the question is, if people understand this is true, will nothing change?

Now, if the public is educated, and do nothing about it, yes, THEY have the government they deserve. My (possibly incorrect) assumption is people are fucking garbage. But I don't know. The last 2 years has shown me about 90% are.

The chief problem I've always though existed, is that "people don't know". We do NOT have fucking news. Fox news isn't any more real than CNN or PBS. My assumption for a long time, is simply people didn't know, and if they knew, they'd be up in arms about it. Is this a wrong assumption, because if it is, there's nothing to be done. If I had the power to murder say 1,000 people with NO POSSIBILITY of being caught, that wouldn't change the systemic corruption.

If people sit back and let evil run the world, they're evil. If they won't even fucking complain, they're evil. The question is, do they know? Do they know what their government is doing?

My mother and sister were on school boards. I don't have any kids, so pretty weird for me to do that.

Here's an idea, publish the curriculum of every school online, after all, taxpayers pay for it. Place the books, and the tests, online. That kind of happened in the last 2 years, and guess what, parents FINALLY got pissed. My sister and mother were always pissed.

My sister is a civil engineer, when she saw the coursework for Common Core math, she lost her shit. Her kid couldn't even add and subtract numbers properly, you remember



You can teach that in 10 minutes. It's plug and chug.

She was livid when she found out the bullshit Common Core method, but most parents, school is day care, they have calculators anyhow, who cares?

First you have to educate the population, then gauge the reaction. If the public is just a bunch of stupid selfish assholes who don't care, fuck it. They can be slaves, they walked into it, despite our best efforts.

Ever wonder what type of person would have children knowing their children would be slaves? Why do you think we might have such a violence problem in much of black America? Any guesses? Let me tell you, the future will get more violent.

Still, there were basically Chinese slaves, and Irish slaves too. I need to think and research more about slavery. I think slavery though generally creates the worst of a population to have children. Best people don't realize they are slaves. I don't think the Irish or Chinese generally did.

NOLA shouldn't be there in the first place. It made sense at the time it was developed at the the gulf and end of the Mississippi. They invested in an area they didn't know. If you're like me and think 80% of people are dumb, imagine 250 years ago? It was probably closer to 95%. It's safe to assume it was developed by near retards just throwing it together for transport of goods. Baton Rouge would have made more sense and just let NOLA be swampland like it is.

I went in 2019. I had fun, but the place is a literal shit hole. They've repaired nothing really since Katrina besides putting windows back up. The structures are shit, even the nice ones. They can't even build a tall hotel without a massive construction incident. Where as a place like Biloxi recovered pretty quickly. I love the south, but most are idiots working with other idiots. It's compounding dumb fuckery.

For the most part, America's system of justice, with of course exceptions, has not been based on politics. That is no longer the case. Courts now look the other way and refuse to hear cases in which massive amounts of evidence exists regarding stolen elections. Now, we have a rogue local DA in Manhattan that is prosecuting a former President, for the very same case that the Federal Justice Department turned down. If Trump were a Democrat, and an insider, there isn't even a chance this Democrat DA would be pursuing this.

By the way, although local prosecutors are elected officials, they prosecute CRIMINALS, and it's not based on politics.

RFK Jr: 'The Neocon Projects' in Iraq and Ukraine Have 'Made a Laughingstock of U.S. Military Power and Moral Authority

Neocon control of America has led to the collapse of American global hegemony and the shredding of our nation's moral authority, according to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

"The collapse of U.S. influence over Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom's new alliances with China and Iran are painful emblems of the abject failure of the Neocon strategy of maintaining U.S. global hegemony with aggressive projections of military power," Kennedy said Monday on Twitter, sharing an article from Reuters on OPEC+ cutting production to spike the price of oil in defiance of the Biden regime.

"China has displaced the American Empire by deftly projecting, instead, economic power," Kennedy continued. "Over the past decade, our country has spent trillions bombing roads, ports, bridges, and airports. China spent the equivalent building the same across the developing world."

"The Ukraine war is the final collapse of the Neocon's short-lived 'American Century.' The Neocon projects in Iraq and Ukraine have cost $8.1 trillion, hollowed out our middle class, made a laughingstock of U.S. military power and moral authority, pushed China and Russia into an invincible alliance, destroyed the dollar as the global currency, cost millions of lives and done nothing to advance democracy or win friendships or influence," Kennedy said.

Kennedy is absolutely correct.

His point was further underlined last month when Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador went off on the U.S. State Department for accusing Mexico of "human rights abuses" when the Biden regime is working to imprison former President Donald Trump, extradite Julian Assange and bombed the Nord Stream pipelines.

With all due respect, do a little research on the neo conservatives. They are anything but 'conservative.' They have their roots planted in liberalism and are typically very loyal to Israel. NeoCons are the warmongering psychopaths that have literally taken control of the State Department and the Pentagon. They are the driving force behind the Ukraine war, which they initiated by overthrowing the Russian friendly Ukraine government in 2014. If they get their way, we'll attack Syria & Iran. They are attempting to start WW III with Russia and are hoping that American troops will soon be fighting in Ukraine.

I agree that GB is not the power it once was after WW 2, however I still believe GB runs the world. We are just their mule.

After the Communist take over of mainland china they tried using military might to take the American backers in Taiwan and failed, but they were committed to taking it and just didn't have the military might and modern weapons of the time to do it.

BUT; they NEVER even attempted to take Hong Kong from the British. That would have been an easy easy easy feat. They could literally jump from Kowloon to HK but didn't. Then China said all trade from China would go through HK. Wonder why. Me suspects GB was still in control of things in 1948.

I foolishly used to think that legislators were supposed to be triage to make sure proposed laws were studied and screened whether they were Constitutional to begin with.
Clif High says that the average time for an unconstitutional law to be reversed by the courts is 18 months. That's 18 months that the psychopaths have to utilize an unconstitutional law to wreak havoc or destroy rights, with many lasting even longer.

Any legislator who knowingly votes for a law that is clearly unconstitutional on its face should be run out of office on a rail and hung. Yet, it is now embedded policy to pass unconstitutional laws and ride them for all they are worth.

Fiddling America Away

https://amgreatness.com/2023/04/09/fiddling-america-away/

We fixate only on the irrelevant that we think we can address while ignoring the existential we know we no longer can solve.

By Victor Davis Hanson

The last few weeks, the world had been writing off the United States as either crazy or irrelevant as it watches America cannibalize itself.

Friends tremble at our sudden decline. Enemies rejoice. Neutrals make the necessary adjustments to join the ascendant non-American side.

The symptoms of our decline abroad appear everywhere. The more Joe Biden brags about the crippling oil sanctions on Russia, friends like India and allies like Japan ignore them. And why not, when Biden has no idea how long the war in Ukraine will last, or how much wherewithal the United States can, should, or will give Kyiv, or how its on-to-Red-Square blank check will finally end?

Big Biden talks about more solar and wind farms, and green new deals won’t fill the gas tanks in Munich or heat the homes of Kyoto, or lower the price of imported oil in the United Kingdom. Claiming the Afghanistan mess was a success fools no one.

Allies ask who are our leaders. An impaired Joe Biden who never is quite sure where he is, what he is doing, or whom he is with?

Kamala Harris, whose only interests appear to be demagoguing racial and social tensions with a shrinking vocabulary?

Senator John Fetterman (D-Penn.), who was elected on the argument it was unkind not to vote for a candidate who was physically and mentally impaired?

Energy Department kingpin Sam Brinton, the cross-dresser in lipstick, now charged with felonies for stealing women’s luggage at airport carousels?

Pete Buttigieg, our transportation secretary, who virtue signals melodramas of the past when he is clueless how to fix crises in the present?

Our Pentagon brass who fixate on saying the correct thing now to ensure the lucrative defense contractor billets later?

Allies fear that after abandoning billions of dollars in weaponry in Kabul to the terrorist Taliban, and pumping billions of dollars more of arms into the Ukrainian meat grinder, and failing to increase U.S. armaments production, Washington simply does not have the resources to match China in either a looming proxy or head-to-head war.

Browse through any media account of the U.S. military, and the storyline is one of racial, gender, gay, or transgendered wokeism, or a looming manpower shortage—not a new lethal weapon, a new division of veteran soldiers, or a new program to up the level of training, physical prowess, and mental attitude among the ranks.

The men and women, whom Russia and China most fear, feel that they are unwelcome in the U.S. military and so no longer join. Those whom our enemies hope do enlist, sign up to the delight of their quota-driven, identify politics recruitment officers—and our enemies as well.

NATO member Turkey is calling for an ecumenical Islamic effort combining Shiites and Sunnis, Persians and the Arabs, Middle Easterners and all Muslims—to unite against Israel. And why not when Biden had gratuitously insulted and yet begged Saudi Arabia and the Gulf exporting states, ignored the Abraham Accords, ostracized Israel, radically cut back on U.S. energy production capability, and groveled to Iran to reenter the Iran Nuclear Deal?

China now openly talks of war with the United States. Beijing claims the Taiwan Strait as its own de facto territorial waters. It partners with Russia to add to a growing alliance of Iran, and North Korea, and beckons Turkey, ostensibly a NATO ally.

After refusing to come clean about its birthing in Wuhan of the gain-in-function, engineered COVID-19 virus that killed 1 million Americans, China is unapologetically defiant about sending a spy balloon over key classified sites throughout the continental United States—part of the continual, humiliating follow-up to its inaugural smack down of Biden’s diplomats at the Anchorage mini-summit.

Oil producers, China, hostiles like Russia and Iran, and opportunists like Turkey and India all foresee the end of the dollar as the international currency. After the American humiliation in Afghanistan, the Islamic world, particularly on the West Bank and in Syria, all see the United States as increasingly weak.

The Biden Administration brags that it has saved NATO by pouring weapons into European Ukraine. But Europe is starving for fossil-fuel energy, about exhausted with emptying its arsenals in aid to Ukraine, and terrified that Biden is just enough a multilateralist to lead the alliance into a confrontation with Russia, but also so incompetent as to ensure either an economic depression or nuclear standoff.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador basks in the publicity of helping an ailing Biden mount stairs, as he brags that 40 million Mexican nationals have entered the United States—the majority of them illegally. He prods Mexican expatriates to vote for Democrats to ensure the border is wide open and a perpetual vehicle for Mexican, not U.S. interests, in ensuring billions of dollars in remittances, defusing social tensions at home, and encouraging them abroad in the United States. Do we help defend the borders of Ukraine because we cannot defend our own? Are 100,000 dead Americans due to imported fentanyl mere collateral damage from open borders?

The more our chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and secretary of defense tour the world, sound off on contemporary strategic issues, or weigh in on domestic politics, the more apprehensive our allies become, wondering how the once-vaunted U.S. Armed Forces have descended into some bizarre woke commissariat.

The international financial community is terrified of $33 trillion in aggregate U.S. debt, a record 130 percent of annual American GDP. It was aghast as the Biden Administration blundered ahead printing money to encourage labor non-participation during a supply chain crisis, inciting inflation, inviting high interest rates, and all but ensuring bank collapses.

The world abroad will tolerate no more lectures from American grandees about the evils of tribal hatred or the benefits of democracy—not when race relations in America are regressing to Balkan-like venom. Anti-democratic rogue regimes indict their former presidents; they put on trial their current political rivals; and they let criminals go free if they serve ideological ends. Now the United States does the same, driven by the Left’s paranoid and irrational hatred of Donald Trump, and its eagerness to destroy all customs and traditions to vent its antipathy to all things Trump.

Foreigners assume that downtown Baltimore, Detroit, Los Angeles, Memphis, San Francisco, or Washington are medieval—filthy, unsafe, vacant, and malodorous. Western civilization discovered 2,500 years ago how to remove excrement from its city cores; now it has either lost or forgotten that ability along with the knowledge that crime and disease thrive amid sewage and garbage.

The U.S. media was once the world’s gold standard. The New York Times claimed it was the paper of record. Network news was liberally slanted but often fair. Crusading independent journalists often kept government honest. But all that has now become a global laughingstock: ridiculously wrong about “Russian collusion,” predictably partisan about “Russian disinformation” and Hunter Biden’s laptop, egging on Alvin Bragg’s pathetic indictment of candidate and former president Trump, and giddy when an ex-president’s home is raided by FBI, or he is tried as a private citizen by a partisan Senate.

So as the military, political, financial, economic, and cultural status of the United States reaches a nadir, what is the reaction of a blinkered America?

What remedies are Americans preparing, as they totter on the abyss of disasters comparable to the U.S. Civil War, Great Depression, World War II, or 1960s-style cultural madness?

Marshall Plans to balance budgets? A 600-ship navy? Two more crack army divisions? A continental missile-defense system? A restoration of the cores of American cities? Plans to secure the border? To ratchet up oil and gas production? To drop the racial and sexual tribalism and restore a meritocracy? To reform higher education? To begin charging criminals with the felonies they have committed? A cleaning of the FBI, CIA, Justice Department, and IRS?

Hardly.

Instead Americans are wondering why a local prosecutor has charged with felonies the first president in history, and currently the leading 2024 presidential candidate, for having a purported liaison 16 years prior and concluding a non-disclosure agreement supposedly to hide it.

A man pretending to be a woman is cashing in on his media-created persona, winning million-dollar advertising contracts from woke corporations for hawking their beer and sports bras. Do these corporations believe that America’s women are so un-endowed that CEOs must hire a man without bosoms to become their national spokesperson for best accommodating cleavage he doesn’t have in a competition he doesn’t enter?

America’s downtowns are reaching a breaking point of vacancy, vagrancy, and violence that makes life there unsustainable, while the country argues over gender pronouns. As violent crime soars, especially hate crimes, interracial crimes, and inner-city crime, a mostly black woman’s championship basketball team stages a media psychodrama of pouting and hurt feelings—as it claims it was “disrespected” by left-wing First Lady Jill Biden and will not go to the White House but prefers instead to be hosted at one of the Obamas’ three mansion estates—a duo not heretofore known for welcoming in strangers, especially of the poorer sort.

What else rises to America’s fiddling attention as the world burns up abroad?

Students in American universities, whether at Stanford Law School or San Francisco State University, shout obscenities at federal judges or seek to beat up invited speakers. Their disruptions are encouraged by their own deans’ silence or active encouragement. The common denominator in both cases is that the disrupters and attackers freely admit they violate university rules and/or the law, and yet assume their ideology and their claims on victimhood exempt them from any consequences for their atrocious conduct. And they are proven right on both counts.

All know that a few expulsions of the elite and pampered lawbreakers would restore sanity to lectures; all know that administrators either side with the culprits or fear their own careers would suffer should they enforce the rules they are charged to uphold

As transgenderism sweeps the country and wins the attention of the White House, the media do their best to hide the facts that the transgendered mass murderer in Nashville wrote a blueprint of how and why she would soon be killing 9-year-olds, that another would-be transgendered mass killer was stopped just in time in Colorado, that another transgender would-be assassin traveled to the home of Supreme Court Justice Kavanagh to murder him.

To speak the truth that men not just in cross-dress perform sexualized dance skits for audiences that include children, but remain both exempt from legal ramifications and are in hot demand is nearly felonious. Best-selling novelist J. K. Rowling, tennis great Martina Navratilova, and All-American swimmer Riley Gaines—they all cannot go out in public alone without assuming they will be physically attacked by the “peaceful” transgendered community. Their sin? The mere suggestion that those born as biological men cannot declare themselves women and thus assume thereby they are.

So America suffers the sins of omission—squabbling over the nonessential—and commission—losing wars, going broke, ruining its economy, flirting with civil war. We know these are all self-inflicted wounds. But apparently, we believe their remedies are worse than the original maladies. And so we fixate only on the irrelevant that we think we can address while ignoring the existential we know we no longer can solve.

The world is terrified and stunned at the result—and increasingly looking elsewhere to non-American solutions.

There is blood in the water. Now Macron may be turning on Birdbrain Biden with his meeting with Chinese's President.

Brazil and Mexico already have turned on Birdbrain Biden recently.

Wonder why the son of George Soros has been frequenting the White House a lot recently.

Maybe its to make a quick or short term major gain in the futures market or stock market due to Birdbrain Biden policies.

Find out if Soros is shorting the US dollar, for example.

I bring up about Soros shorting the dollar just like I want to know who may be shorting Starbucks stock and if they are behind the unionization effort at Starbucks.

Such as it is Robert Reich or some left wing activist and multi millionaire who is funding Robert Reich or the unionization effort.
