The entitlements are sickening. Not sure why SS is considered an entitlement, however.

[ansel12]

You keep posting that, but what is the significance of it, what are you trying to say?

[SisterK]

Create the problem, provide the solution.

LYONS: Draft of new U.S. Army handbook must be scrapped

Modern Science Writers Leave Science Behind

Sam Colt and the Law of Self-Preservation

Some noteworthy articles about politics, foreign or military affairs, IMHO, FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.

[firebrand]

This is possibly the worst idea I have ever heard of.

[philetus]

Why do we have a U.S. African command?

[donna]

Excuse me. It obviously meant nothing.

[TArcher]

What did/does that graph look like in the Soviet Union/Russia?

[Ax]

No contest.

[TArcher]

The soldiers will take part in military exercises and train African troops on everything from logistics and marksmanship to medical care.

"These systems require no dirt. It is 3 to 9 times more productive and requires one third or less of the man hours than a traditional dirt farm. It uses less than 80% of water and can be set up in very arid climates...."

Fix that, General Ham.

The only people who will benefit from this are the Idi Amins and the real estate agents in Marbella or Geneva who will make a killing selling villas to African generals and their concubines.

The pre-election meme was that Obama killed OBL, and by implication defeated AQ. The reality is that the “Arab Spring” has empowered them and allowed them to spread their influence throughout the region. He’s made a huge mess out there that’s going to be very expensive to clean up in terms of both lives and dollars. Given the ROE he’s imposed on our troops in Pakistan and Afghanistan, I think we’ll be taking some heavy casualties before it’s over.

[TArcher]

Au Contraire. Aquaponic requires no Villa.

Let the Idi Amins, their Rhodesian facilitators, and their Fascist/Corporatist-State Company stores go back to Hell where they belong.

[TArcher]

BTW, the climate of Florida makes it an ideal year-round locale for experimenting with Aquaponics.

Have you tried it?

[Ax]

I don’t know much about aquaponics, but it’s pretty big in Cuban agriculture.

[TArcher]

[I don’t know much about aquaponics]

Evidently not.

Tobacco is also pretty big in Cuban agriculture.

But, the fact that even state-collectivist parasites can manage to turn tobacco, aquaponics (,and/or self-governance) into a cash-cow for non-productive, teat-sucking, collectivist swine in the farmhouse — is self-evidence of the viability of aquaponics, tobacco, and self-governance.

[Ax]

You need to live there. You pretty well described everyday life in the Worker’s Caribbean Paradise. During my four year tour in Havana (1993-1997), we had access to food that normal Cubans sure didn’t, at the Diplomatic Store. They haven’t managed to screw up the Cuban cigar industry, and their Havana Club Rum is still the best on the planet. Life for Juan de la Cruz (Cuba’s John Doe) sucks on a daily base. Most of them barely get by on their meager govt rations. The Cubans who worked for us told us that their ration books only lasted two to three weeks of the month; if they didn’t have access to $$$, they did without.

[TArcher]

>>You need to live there.

I don’t need to live there to see the self-evident truth that Aquaponics works well enough that even collectivist teat-suckers and Cubans can make it work.

And if they can make it work - imagine what FRee citizens, having inalienable rights that are secured by a government whose purpose is reformed to do so, once again, could produce with it.

‘course, your Collective Milk Mileage may vary.

[Ax]

Concur. The Cuban is very intelligent, but is seriously oppressed; any “get up and go” has been bred out of the average Cuban. The entrepreneurial spirit is not completely dead. The guy that used to come around our house and take our recyclables. He had a beat-up hand made pull cart. He took all my old Gatorade bottles, then sold them to neighborhood moms to take to the milk rationing point to get their ration for their six-and-under kids. Just before I left, he had traded up and got a metal cart with real wheels. My daughter got about three Victoria’s Secret catalogs per week. Julio pulled them out of the recyclables then traded them to the cops for their shirts. He carried out capitalism under the very nose of the State and thumbed his nose at them

aka:

“COMMERCE BETWEEN MASTER AND SLAVE IS DESPOTISM”
—Thomas Jefferson

Milk Rationing, like the Soviet bread line, and the British control over Indian Salt, is the manipulation and enslavement of the Individual via the tyranny of their own appetite.

Let the Progressive Tribal Kleptocrats in control of the Company/State Store choke on the reality that Aquaponics has the humane potential to free Individuals from their tyrannical purview.

As Gandhi made Salt, let all FRee Individuals grow Fish and Kale.
