THE BROKEN PROMISES OF THE SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC FALLACY
–“(AP) — Broken promises of help from the West. A tragic history of Russian invasion that goes back centuries. A painful awareness that conflicts in this volatile region are contagious. These are the factors that make nations across Eastern Europe watch events in Ukraine “–

I said, almost ten years ago, that if the dollar collapsed that we could no longer afford our military and that the standard of living of the average american would decline by 40-50% – and stay there.
End the empire.

US STATE DEPARTMENT CONTACT (EMBASSY)
“…. if you have an opportunity to leave Ukraine you should do it. …”
I’m not ‘permitted’ to say what else I know from other channels (which are silver bullets that I don’t use). But the net is, that they have no idea whats going to happen after tomorrow.
“….. could be a war, or it could be much better than it is right now…”

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/13/china-li-keqiang-wans-investors-bankruptciesI WAS WAY OFF ON THIS ONE.
Was dead sure it would start in 2010.
I still don’t understand that economy.
I understand the demographics (if they’re close to accurate) but not that economy.
Demographics should have broken it four years ago.
Be interesting to understand how and why they held out this long.

MUTUALLY REINFORCING CULTURAL DESTRUCTION
–“The European Union must recognize that its bureaucratic dilatoriness and subordination of the strategic element to domestic politics in negotiating Ukraine’s relationship to Europe contributed to turning a negotiation into a crisis. Foreign policy is the art of establishing priorities.”– Kissinger
Like i’ve been saying for more than a decade now: the solution to repairing the west is the contraction of the American empire thereby forcing Europe to return to the consideration of strategic priorities.
The current postwar arrangement forces the US to function as an empire without domestic priorities, and Europe to function with only domestic priorities. This has led to the absolute DESTRUCTION of both cultures as neither can defend itself from the imbalance of its priorities.
There would be no problem here if Germany, as is normal and necessary, was acting as the defender of Europe.
Russia and Germany are natural allies. And the states are making them unnatural enemies.
America is not the defender of Europe. It is the CONQUEROR of Europe.
Time for Germany to grow up.

http://edition.cnn.com/2014/03/05/opinion/russia-ukraine-austria/RUSSIA’S “WAKEUP” TO EUROPE THAT THEIR FANTASY IS JUST THAT: FANTASY
–“The European system of today is based on the principle of state sovereignty, combined with the robust international cooperation of the European Union, and legitimated by a historically new attention to human rights.
The European Union is based on the premise of learning from history. National Socialism and Stalinism are seen as experiences from which Europeans have learned and extremes to which European politics must be restrained.
This system, like the interwar system, is vulnerable to challenge. Russia has now proposed an alternative, in which Russian culture is historically unique and demanding of protection, European fascism and Stalinism are a trove of constructive ideas, and human rights are nothing more than a facade for western imperialism.”–
Well, I’m on board with human rights as a facade for ANGLO imperialism. Europeans have little to do it with it. And Empires grow at the expense of their core peoples. And since I care a lot more about my PEOPLE than I do about their empire, I want to collapse that Anglo empire.
Human right are also an EXCUSE for europeans not to protect themselves, rather than rely upon the anglo empire.
So lets just pull back the empire.
I’m not against breaking the european mythos and restoring Germany to its position as the core state of Europe. I’m against the perpetuation of Russia’s post-soviet endemic corruption, and the suffering that people live under here in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever other than corrupt politicians.
I’ve made no secret that I’m not a believer in equality. People’s should seek their own levels, and perform at their best. But not encouraging assistance in ‘helping’ people from less advanced cultures is very different from INTERFERING in their natural evolutionary development, and very different from PREVENTING IT with corruption.
