@Fred, as written in Tragedy and Hope: From these studies it would seem that civilizations pass through a process of evolution
which can be analyzed briefly as follows: each civilization is born in some inexplicable
fashion and, after a slow start, enters a period of vigorous expansion, increasing its size
and power, both internally and at the expense of its neighbors, until gradually a crisis of
organization appears. When this crisis has passed and the civilization has been
reorganized, it seems somewhat different. Its vigor and morale have weakened. It
becomes stabilized and eventually stagnant. After a Golden Age of peace and prosperity,
internal crises again arise. At this point there appears, for the first time, a moral and
physical weakness which raises, also for the first time, questions about the civilization's
ability to defend itself against external enemies. Racked by internal struggles of a social
and constitutional character, weakened by loss of faith in its older ideologies and by the
challenge of newer ideas incompatible with its past nature, the civilization grows steadily
weaker until it is submerged by outside enemies, and eventually disappears.

Back in the 80s SPY magazine had an absolutely classic article about The Sovietization of America. Sadly it is NOT online. It has never been more relevant than now. BHO is indeed a corporate statist, but I will say this for him: he has not started a groundless war in order to prop up support and ram thru an unpopular agenda. Peace: what is it good for ? Children and flowers and other living things.

@whooda Syria - Faced with a bodycount and chemical warfare I think BHO flirted with the idea of an air-only intervention, like actually worked in Bosnia in halting genocide by the Serbs, but yeah people freaked out immediately. After you get rid of the GOP for a few years you set your standards higher. Hooray for new norms of putting diplomacy ahead of war. Are you ready for Rand Paul 2016 ?

It's the "Deep State" (corporate fascist) that control the government and call the shots. For example, look at the Contitutional crisis of the NSA, and in particular the CIA'a treason against the oversight committee. The NSA is obviously not getting its orders from the US government. They get their orders from Israel.

I have to make my Comments count because Mgr. Ken F. has 'requested' I limit to eight Comments per show, peoples.

...Ah - don't think you & Dave Emory will be agreeing soon about Israel, Whooda !! I don't automatically side w/ Israel (who *for sure* has nukes in the MidEast? You guessed it.)
- but neither do I buy some Anti-Semitic trip !: I don't like the company it puts me in ! The Jews were prevented from owning things in many places many times - what about that - ?! - & in Medieval Christianity it was a Mortal Sin to lend money - so they had the Jews do it for them - & then scapegoated the Jews when they didn't want to pay it back! - so let's see that for what it is, once & for all. I just can't tolerate Racism - & I fear Anti-Semitism as a dangerous disease in society.

...More parties would be what the U.S. needs you'd think - but third parties right now are only spoilers effectively - whether Pat Buchanan or Perot on the Right - or Nader on the Left (both of these have happened in a big way). But remember that the Nazis were elected - that's right, elected - by a few thousand votes because too many parties divided the vote. That's why I call out this 'Too Cool to Vote' & 'Democrats are just as bad' sentiments whenever it comes up - & fear this Voter Suppression big time.

...Think how ahead of the curve Sinead was tearing up that photo of the Pope in protest of child molestation! - but she didn't communicate that's what it was about - & as a Popular Artist, Communication is kind of what one does - so I've seen that as her basic problem/challenge.

On the last morning over breakfast, Hans came around to see how the stay was etc, and I recall an exchange he and my Uncle Walt had.

UW: "You Hans?"
H: "Yep"
UW: "We dropped a lot of hardware on you guys in the war"

Speaking of the uses of war... Has anyone else read "Report from Iron Mountain"? Nowadays it's dismissed as a hoax but years ago I talked (emailed) with a guy whose dad was in the group and said it was very much legit. The book does make a lot of sense.

Stratfor - meh. Poor infosec :) The future is hard to predict, esp'ly when it hasn't happened yet. I 'spect we're gonna tweak the genome, then incautiously hack it, and implant comms and bio tech, and in a hundred years we won't necessarily be completely recognisable to our current selves.
