"It used to be that Memorial Day was to honor dead soldiers. In recent years, we are asked to also honor veterans (who already have a day) and active duty members of the armed services. This may be an indication that the politicians feel there aren’t enough dead soldiers…
I think Memorial Day should simply be renamed Tombstone Day and people should decorate their yards with styrofoam tombstones like they do for Halloween. True-believers might even consider a few flag-draped coffins made of cardboard and maybe hanging dismembered arms and legs made of rubber from their trees."
Tom Blanton
"It would be appropriate to celebrate Memorial Day by burning in effigy the politicians whose lies led to the deaths of so many Americans (and innocent foreigners). Those whose images deserve to be torched run the gamut from Lyndon Johnson to Defense Secretary Robert McNamara to Richard Nixon to Bill Clinton (Kosovo) to George W. Bush (Iraq, et cetera), to Barack Obama (Afghanistan, Libya, et cetera). Donald Trump’s warring has primarily resulted in the killing of foreigners, but they are also worthy of remembrance and lamentation. The burnings could be accompanied by recitations of the major offenses against the truth and liberty that each politician committed.
The best way to honor American war dead is to cancel politicians’ prerogative to send troops abroad to fight on any and every pretext. And one of the best steps towards that goal is to remember the lies for which soldiers died."
James Bovard
"Mentally deranged men who claim to be women and women who claim to be men should be trained to use the most deadly firearms available while average law-abiding American citizens should be disarmed as much as possible with more and more 'gun control' laws.
That’s the cornerstone of Biden administration military policy."
Tom DiLorenzo
"The small cabal of elites in DC, a thousand miles away, have no idea about life in Gretna, Louisiana. And yet, they use the theater of the absurd to assert control over us. It is Augustine’s 'lust for domination' writ large.
Historically speaking, we waged two wars over this very issue of remote interference in our lives. The one in 1776 was successful. The one in 1861 was not. So here we are today being lorded over from afar by what are essentially tyrannical foreigners."
Larry L. Beane
"Every aspect of life has changed, as everything is being based on the fraudulent 'Covid pandemic.' No 'virus' has ever been proven to exist, so this country has been destroyed over a lie created for that very purpose. The most pathetic aspect of this coup is that the herd continues to act as one, while most all are nothing more than faceless and expressionless drones cowering in fear of imaginary monsters. Family, history, and tradition are being erased from the human psyche, and this can only lead to servitude in a totalitarian hell."
Gary D. Barnett
"It’s hard to imagine a U.S.-China war that ends in outright conquest and occupation by one over the other, for all the reasons you cite. The numbers just don’t work. For the Chinese, there are too many Americans with guns. For the Americans, there are too many Chinese, period.
It’s everything short of conquest and occupation that’s cause for concern."
Dave Gonigam
"The 'Great Reset' is meant to be a global project; meaning, no one is allowed to opt-out. Leftists and globalists are notoriously plantation-minded; they believe that society is involuntary, and their rules for society should apply to all people. Those who wish to leave are actually seen as traitors because the very act of leaving suggests that the system is flawed, and doubt creates questions, and questions create demands, and demands lead to resistance, and resistance leads to rebellion.
The progressive/globalist plantation becomes an exercise in antagonistic self-affirmation — you cannot leave the system, because everything is fine, and if you left people might think something is wrong and then everything would not be fine, so why would you want to upset the balance and ruin what is already perfect?"
Brandon Smith
"If we are honest, we will acknowledge that we have undergone the complete collapse of the United States. Truth is prohibited in the media, school systems, and universities if it conflicts with the elite agendas served by the official narratives. The First Amendment is dead and buried. Free speech is reserved for the official narratives, such as 'systemic racism' and 'Russian threat.' Those who exercise their Constitutional right find themselves de-platformed or fired."
Paul Craig Roberts
"Personal freedom is inversely proportional to governmental freedom. In other words, in whatever interest or matters one chooses not to self-govern, others will govern for you. But individuals are often happy to relinquish this responsibility for themselves in order to seem altruistic. It might even make them feel patriotic."
Bob Livingston
"I’m going to argue that the U.S. government, in particular, has been overrun by the wrong kind of person. It’s a trend that’s been in motion for many years but has now reached a point of no return. In other words, a type of moral rot has become so prevalent that it’s institutional in nature. There is not going to be, therefore, any serious change in the direction in which the U.S. is headed until a genuine crisis topples the existing order. Until then, the trend will accelerate.
The reason is that a certain class of people – sociopaths – are now fully in control of major American institutions. Their beliefs and attitudes are insinuated throughout the economic, political, intellectual, and psychological/spiritual fabric of the U.S."
Doug Casey
"American culture is Eurocentric, and it must remain Eurocentric or collapse into meaninglessness. Standards of European and American origins are the only possible standards that can hold our society together and keep us a competent nation. If the legitimacy of Eurocentric standards is denied, there is nothing else. . . . We are, then, entering a period of tribal hostilities. Some of what we may expect includes a rise in interethnic violence, a slowing of economic productivity, a vulgarization of scholarship (which is already well under way)."
Robert Bork
"The essential liberties Americans are told are protected by the Bill of Rights, such as freedom of assembly and religion, the ability to redress government, the right to a speedy trial, and due process of law, whatever they were prior to, have been routinely ignored in response to covid.
The past year has made it ever more clear that due process and property rights—no matter how explicitly protected in both the federal and in state constitutions—are mere inconveniences to governments imposing their will on residents within their jurisdictions. These arms of the state will always use lawyers and judges to twist the law to achieve the ends they desire, granting the state whatever power is necessary to accomplish a desired goal. This abomination to natural rights shreds apart the fantasy that Americans live under a 'limited government' system. Government power is instead limited only by the ambitions of those that occupy it. I’m sure Lysander Spooner would be saying, 'I told you so'."
