Preppers’ PING!!
Its at the point where I viscerally hate half the population.
I think our political leadership has any clue how close to the edge this country is. They are tap dancing in a minefield.
Scientist: We have discovered a cure for apathy!
Reporter: That’s great!...but nobody cares...
vat ve NEED at zis Point is a Stronkman!!
a Leader who vill make ze trains run on time...and take care of zose pesky.........

Worth reading this book just on this examination alone:
“A chapter on the impact of the JFK assassination is so riveting that I insisted on reading portions aloud to my family. How, Piereson wonders, was it possible that Fidel Castro and Che Guevara became heroes to the American left when it was a committed communist who killed the left’s beloved Kennedy?
Piereson also deftly demolishes the myth of Camelot by recounting how a grieving first lady created the legend on a single weekend after the president’s funeral. Jacqueline Kennedy invited famed writer Theodore White to the family compound on Cape Cod so he could interview her for a Life magazine issue devoted to JFK.
There she told White that she and the president went to bed listening to the soundtrack of the then-popular Broadway show “Camelot,” which was based on a novel. She insisted that JFK loved the music and the story because he, too, was a courageous idealist like the fabled King Arthur depicted in the show. “There will be great presidents again, but there will never be another Camelot,” Jackie told White.
White and his editors resisted the grandiose and sentimental story line, but finally relented to the grieving widow. White later expressed regret for helping to create the Camelot myth.”
Which is why “they” are determined to get our guns and “they” are stockpiling weapons and ammo.
From Rudyard Kipling, a century ago:
...
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
Before the revolution comes a phase people forget: settling scores.
Spot-on quote from Yeats.
Record and remember addresses of ALL liberals.
ALL.
Guard the airports.
When it happens, they should be justly rewarded for their efforts.
Figures a Yankee would forget that there are 50 states, mini countries, involved.
Let’s send back all the illegals so Mexico can have a revolution instead.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
Regards,
GtG
PS "Something wicked this way comes."
By any other name becomes "The Second Coming!"
