| How does one put the following data points together? The mayor of a major American city faced with riots tells her police for to "let them loot, it's only property." Economists were surprised by an unexpected decline in US growth from an expected 1.0% growth to an actual 0.2% in the first quarter of 2015. The administration is now in the business of helping families pay ransoms to Islamic kidnappers as Josh Earnest told reporters "Speaking generally, helping with a ransom payment ... is not tantamount to paying a ransom." Former Gitmo prisoners are now demanding reparations from the US taxpayer. Navy ships are now escorting American flagged vessels through the Straits of Hormuz as Iran's foreign minister boasts that Congress can't stop Obama's deal with Tehran. John Boehner agrees he doesn't have the votes to stop the president. The Clinton Foundation failed to disclose 1,100 foreign donations as Frank Giustra responded "we're not trying to hide anything." Hillary Clinton, in a major speech, broke her silence on the riots in Baltimore and proposed an "end to the era of mass incarceration". Vermont Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders, a self-described socialist, has announced he is running for president. The administration will not let states even ask people to establish they are citizens when they register to vote. A poll shows that a "strong majority of young voters would like to see a Democrat stay in the White House in 2016." The millennials can't wait to see Hillary, or preferably Warren or Sanders, in the White House. How to put those data points together? By remembering how the migrant boat from Libya sank on the way to Italy. The passengers crammed into the ship rushed blindly to one side to catch a glimpse of a freighter, thereby capsizing it. The perfectly describes the Left, who , facing catastrophe on every front is doing the only thing it knows how: doubling down on Leftist canon. Everyone is now stampeding left, because that will save the boat. Will, first and foremost, save them---as individuals---from having to admit they were wrong. Modern leftism is mixture of conformism, ego-putzism, and mysticism (see below). That's what Chavez did. What Maduro is doing. It's what Castro did when he could still do something. It's what British Labor party chief Ed Miliband plans to do by proposing to make Islamophobia illegal. But is paranoia, not hope, that is driving their frenzy. To fully understand why it is important to understand the Marxist concept of "someone". |

| #1 See also TOPIX > [Commentary] THE PROBLEM WID NEW [Obama-led] US DEFENSE PACTS: TALK IS CHEAP. Even IRAN repor says today that its newfound Miltary Power or Miltary Capabilities is crucial or vital to support its on-going negotiations in the P5+1 taks - THE USSR + RED CHINA BELIEVED IN SAME BEFORE AND DURING THE COLD WAR, SO WHY SHOULD POST-COLD WAR, POST-9-11 [Post-GWOT?]RUSSIA AND CHINA BE ANY DIFFERENT??? Again, as per the US-led Anti-US OWG Globalist agenda, can the USA = Mainstream/Ordinary Americans trust that the US engaging in unilateral or self-imposed worldwide strategic retreat while simultaneously allowing RUSSIA + CHINA + IRAN, ETC. TO EXPAND THEIR WORLDWIDE/ GLOBAL "SPHERE(S) OF INFLUENCE" TOWARDS OWG GLOBIE-DESIRED "US STYLE" CO-SUPERPOWERHOOD, WHERE THE US IS JUST ONE NUKE-ARMED SUPERPOWER AMONG SEVERAL OR MANY, WILL N-O-T LEAD TO AMERICA = AMERIKA BEING WEAKENED ANDOR EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED BY ANYONE??? As for the Left, they may be exploiting the GWOT to forcibly but PDeniably impose US-World Marxist-Commie-Socialist Order, but unfortunately ITS STILL NOT CLEAR THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO CONTROL THE SOON-TO-BE-NUCLEAR ISLAMIST HARD BOYZ + GLOBAL JIHAD. THE SCENARIO OR RISK IS THERE THAT THE LEFTIES MAY INDEED SUCCEED IN IMPOSING SOCIALIST ORDER, JUST N-O-T THEIR BRAND(S). |
