Turkey: Jihadist Literature Gets a Pass

“It is really sorrowful to live in a country that silences, prosecutes, jails its authors and forces them to live in exile,” Hasan Cemal wrote in January. It is worse than “sorrowful,” however, that writers in Turkey who promote jihad are given a pass.

Life is a Journey of our Accumulative Mistakes | Armstrong Economics

Virginia Republicans claimed the moral high ground as a blackface scandal left the state’s Democratic leadership on the brink of implosion. This is really retaliation for the entire Kavanaugh hearings. There is no statute of limitations for anything or anyone in government now. The Virginia black caucus of House Democrats have called for Governor Ralph Northam’s ouster. This is what I warned about. What was done to Kavanaugh has changed everything forever. There is no line that will not be crossed. Under such a standard, there is NO PERSON who can possibly survive. Life is a journey for the acquisition of knowledge. In reality, we are an accumulation of our mistakes because the only way we progress in life is by making mistakes. We are not born with supreme knowledge. We all make mistakes in life for those are the events that shape our character. In the ’60s, I was not a druggie. I was a blind patriot who believed in the Vietnam War. As time progressed, I changed my view and began to see how the government would never tell the truth about such things. I once believed in the rule of law. I never bothered to look closely at the American justice system. Then I found that the US conviction rate had reached 99%, a record that beats the most notorious court in history run by Adolf Hitler whose conviction rate of Jews was 90%. We are shaped by our mistakes throughout life. To go back to yearbooks and proclaim that someone is a racist 40 years later is rather stupid. If we are going to be held to whatever we thought when we were a teenager or college student, then we should just shut down the government right now and revert back to feudal times. The only type of person to then qualify will be someone who has no experience because they claim never to have made a mistake. So their first big mistake will be managing society.

The Hatred from the Left | Armstrong Economics

You can feel it in the air. We are heading into the collapse of government and a violent civil war because hatred is rising dramatically. The government is no longer capable of even functioning. The State of the Union was just an example. It did not matter what Trump said. The Democrats will not break party rank and will refuse to comply with anything. The government never acted like this until Hillary lost. Neither side will accept the election in 2020. Western society will crumble by 2032. There is no going back. This is how all empires, nations, and city-states have collapsed throughout history. The rule of law vanishes and what emerges is just hatred. The entire purpose of civilization is people coming together and working together for a common goal. We have lost all such common ground and both extremes are demanding subjugation of their opponents. This is why revolution unfolds. Neither side is allowed to exist. Each demands the other conforms to their ideas. This is why direct taxation destroys all civilizations for it allows one side to exploit the other. Here is one example of a person filled with such hatred who always sends hate mail to me. This is just a prelude to what is to come: The American white male lives in the American past, is ignorant of world history and revolution and glorifies his gun ownership like some cartoon cowboy but doesn’t really know what to do with his guns. He is totally devoid of ideas and lacks the depth to analyze true injustice and would rather go out and commit horrendous mass shootings because he has been brain-washed to support the actual people who are doing him harm. So kills innocent people or supports a Trump.

I really don’t think the haters will prevail. Their doctrine is already forcing them to eat their own in Virginia. JohnBarleycorn
