Bracken: “Switzerland, America and New Zealand – The Kiwi is Low-Hanging Fruit”

(End) Most people are already aware, as I have outlined above, that Switzerland has never been invaded by a foreign entity, primarily because of its national policy of armed civilian defense. Fewer people have considered that Switzerland has also never been conquered from within by a tyrant for the same reason: armed civilian defense.

Like the Swiss, Americans will never be quietly herded en masse onto prison buses and cattle trucks.** Not by a foreign invader, and not by a home-grown socialist tyranny bent on achieving a final solution to the bitter clinger problem. Millions of Americans will live free, or die with AR-15s, Remington 700s and other capable weapons in their hands. This is a subject that would-be American tyrants should study very carefully, even as I am sure that foreign tyrants are studying the low-hanging and juicy Kiwi fruit, made especially tempting due to its lack of protective thorns.

Culture matters It certainly does because a culture is everything.

The trouble with us id that Cultural Marxism has wiped all our old cultural customs and restraints out.

I’m just so proud of the United States. Our diversity is our strength and we celebrate all cultures no matter how ignorant, lazy or entitled. Just a wonderful place to be. Free to do whatever we please even if it is living in a pig stye. Isn’t it just wonderful?

This is not the greatest nation on earth any longer. It is just another one of many. We have allowed it to become a regular sh!t hole. It is absolutely falling apart. Anyone who has anything is taxed at a rate as high as anywhere in the world and gets far less for it. Some restrictions on choice are worth the small price.

I guess Switzerland has their slums but I have yet to see them.

The heterogeneity makes for strife, faction and envy and all of this is encouraged by the dims for certain. We have no peace within our own country and we certainly have no pride.

They don’t have a hostile press corp that constantly lies, stirs the pot and antagonizes citizens.

The reason that in Switzerland gun ownership is high but mass shootings are low is because the culture is much different. They do not have a democratic party picking at everything the government is trying to do and maligning the people in charge with lies and falsehoods. They are a people of faith. Abortion and homosexuality is not pushed by their media. If you step back and look, it will become apparent what is going wrong here. Perhaps the Trump landslide in the 2020 election will shock the democrats back to reality.
