While the Ameroboob Media has busy for the last few days snooping around for dirt on Jared and Ivanka, the Chinese have been focusing on the first meeting between Presidents Trump and Xi at the former's Mar-a-Lago Estate this week. Xi made the announcement that he will be in Florida on Thursday following a state visit to Finland.
Most Chinese are favorably disposed to Trump; mostly because they despised Obama. China has a great respect for Trump because of his business acumen.
"Trump has a transactional view of international relations, unlike his predecesors" analyst Ngeow Chow Bing told Xinhua News, "Trump is by nature more likely to accept China's proposal for a relationship featuring non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect, and win-win cooperation. I think Trump will realize that a fundamentally stable and productive US-China relationship is in the interests of Washington."
These sentiments have been echoed by Rex Tillerson himself; and this upcoming meeting in Mar-a-Lago may represent a genuine turning-point in US policy in the Pacific. Few Americans realize---thanks to Corporate Media obfuscation---just what an unmitigated disaster Obama's Asian Pivot really was. If China had been stronger militarily and better prepared, we may have lost our influence in the Pacific Rim altogether. The mistake that China made was underestimating how badly Obama would bungle US Foreign Policy; and they can't be blamed for that. Obama left a power-vacuum too big even for China to fill alone; and Xi is prudent enough to see that Sino-US power-sharing in the Pacific is beneficial to both countries.
For his part, President Trump said on Thursday, that he anticipated meeting Xi for the first time; and stated that the Korean Peninsula, trade issues, and counter-terrorism and fighting international crime would be on the table for discussion. Notably absent are Obama's ridiculous demands about the South China Sea, the Uighars, or Chinese military developments.
Very likely, though, given the interests and temperament of both presidents, trade policy will be the main focus of the first meeting. Trump has sought to correct the massive trade-deficit the US has with China and China desires greater access to American investment.
The one thing that cannot be denied is that Liberal/Neocon policy with China has been a complete failure and that a new course is desperately needed.
There was a time in our cultural history when being called an 'elite' was actually a compliment. In the past, it was a status that had to be earned and therefore was respected. That all changed when symbolism over substance and the personal is political became the new normal. Under today's political correctness, elite status is only an entitlement conferred upon those with the right connections.
Our military hasn't been exempt from this toxic tendency. As we were painfully reminded once again this week, military personnel standards today are at shamefully low levels.
This week's feature takes us back to the day when the military turned boys into men and men into elite fighting units. In 1968, The Green Berets told the story of a commando unit and its exploits during the Vietnam War and the film made that name a household word.
The Green Berets is the story of Col. Mike Kirby (played by John Wayne) who agrees to embed cynical, anti-war reporter George Beckworth (played by David Janssen) into his commando unit and show him the true nature of the Vietnam War. The film was a resounding success in spite of anti-war Leftists---like Hilary Clinton and John Kerry---who were trying desperately to get the film suppressed. The Green Berets had some very graphic depictions of Communist atrocities; along with the sacrifices and sufferings of the Vietnamese people in their struggle for freedom.
It's fairly safe to say that if a top-ten list of films most hated by the Hollywood Left were ever compiled, The Green Berets would be a shoo-in to make the cut. This film became something of a rallying-point for Americans who favored US intervention in Vietnam. The theme song became a #1 hit and the book based on the film was a bestseller. As we noted above, the actual Green Berets were not well-known to the American public until this film was released. The Pentagon previously were somewhat adverse to realistic portrayals of US Special Forces (for security reasons). The political climate of the Vietnam War changed their minds---especially since Left-Wing propagandists were suggesting that military secrecy was concealing war crimes. John Wayne actually got special permission directly from President Lyndon Johnson to gain military assistance in The Green Berets' production.
In spite of the negative press---almost all of which is politically motivated---in our opinion The Green Berets is probably the best Vietnam War movie ever made. The overall storyline is fairly standard for war movies; other than as commandoes, there is more asymmetrical-type warfare depicted than in WW2 epics like Battleground or Korean War epics like Pork Chop Hill. This film is more concentrated on Special Operations carried out behind enemy-lines or close-support with frontline troops. Despite the tense political climate in which the film was made, there is very little political dialogue. One of the producers' great innovations was to debunk Beckworth's anti-war prejudices simply by bringing him face-to-face with what the realities were on the ground.
It wouldn't hurt the Pentagon Pajama-Boys to watch this film though; so they can see what real soldiers used to look like.
Many Vietnam veterans---those who actually served on the frontlines---agree that The Green Berets is really one of the more accurate portrayals of the realities of actual life on the front. The best way to enjoy this movie is probably by DVD since it's not offered on free sites currently.
Would-be Manly Alpha Leader Vox Day suffered another humiliating week. Science Fiction author John Scalzi, of whose success Vox is bitterly jealous, announced that his new book The Collapsing Empire ended the week at #1 best-selling science fiction and #17 in overall best-selling fiction. Additionally, it was his highest-debuting book on the USA Today Top 25; the #2 best-selling Audiobook; and a pending television contract.
As Scalzi mentioned on his website: "Because I know people here will ask: The disinformation campaign of a certain sadly envious individual and his pals...appear to have had no real impact at all on sales or the overall critical reception of the book."
In other words, Vox' latest pathetic smear-campaign against Scalzi and Tor Books has gone down in flames. In spite of this, Vox' bully-boy disciples have been stalking and harassing Scalzi at book-signings and have started a 'Johan Kalsi' Youtube channel. Vox himself has been squawking at Vox Populi that "I am not butt-hurt!" and "Scalzi cheated!" All of this from author who works actually get less votes than 'None of the Above' at the Hugo Awards. It takes some serious effort to finish 6th on a ballot of 5; but I'm certain that Scalzi is laughing all the way to the bank.
Vox Day is quickly becoming to the literary world what Lyndon LaRouche was to the political one. Don't be that guy. Better to be a real success than an international laughing-stock whose attempts at petty revenge even end in abject failure.
President Trump on Tuesday issued an Executive Order repealing Obama's 2015 Order that closed hundreds of coal plants, frozen construction of new plants---and even banned wood-burning stoves. The Clean Power Plan, as Obama called it, killed thousands of US jobs and rewarded with subsidies Wall Street cartels invested in wind and solar power schemes.
The Order also repealed six other Obama mandates dating back to 2013 which dealt mostly with increased bureaucratic compliance regulations.
Matt McGrath, an environmental analyst with the BBC noted that Trump's action is "both a practical and philosophical attempt to change the US narrative on climate change... President Trump is signaling a significant change in the philosophy that Carbon Dioxide is the main driver of climate change."
McGrath pointed out that there will less restrictive rules on methane emissions and the freedom to lease federal lands again to mining interests. Trump, and many others hold that lifting these restrictions will create new jobs and help the US move towards more energy independence. Last month, Trump also lifted restrictions on the long-stalled Keystone and Dakota pipeline projects.
Currently, 66% of American electricity is generated by coal and natural gas plants. About 20% is nuclear-powered---a number far behind most developed countries---which projects have also been stalled by bureaucratic and legal obstructionism. America's obsolescent and failing hydropower systems---once the masterpiece of Federal infrastructure projects---now account for only 6% of our domestic energy production.
The Radical Left and their Corporate Media trolls immediately lashed out at President Trump for 'over-reaching' with Executive Orders, though they didn't raise a peep in protest when Obama signed the Orders into law that Trump simply repealed. Leading the charge is New York Attorney-General Eric Schneiderman who is threatening a lawsuit to stop the repeal. It should be noted that Schneiderman is a recipient of payoffs (or donations, if one prefers) from interests tied to the alternative energy industry. These included law firms suing oil companies over climate change; the Rockefeller-owned energy cartels, and George Soros. Schneiderman himself was also a donor to the DNC and to Hilary Clinton's Campaign.
President Trump stated that it is entirely possible to become energy-independent while protecting the environment; a fact proven by several countries which have already surpassed us in the energy sector. Our energy infrastructure has been in deep decline because of decades of neglect. Tuesday's Executive Order was yet another small, but vital step towards reclaiming our energy independence.
Andrew Anglin, MGTOW/Red Pill blogger at The Daily Stormer, is frustrated that so many voices---from across the political spectrum---are daring to blame him for inciting racial violence and violence against women. This came after revelations that terrorist James Jackson was an avid disciple of Anglin's; as well as Anglin's fellow-Manosphereans Paul Ray Ramsey (ramzpaul); Stephan Molyneux; Matt Forney; and Richard Spencer. In Anglin's case, Jackson is his second known disciple tied to a murder. Dylan Roof, currently awaiting execution in South Carolina, was also part of The Daily Stormer family.
So Anglin was waving his arms today, especially after the Jewish publication Forward dared mention his name with Jackson's in an article. Anglin assured his followers that this was part of some Jewish-orchestrated smear campaign; and the fact that Jackson did what Anglin advocates was no reflection on his teachings.
"That's why we don't advocate violence here. It's bad propaganda." Anglin noted.
Anglin then goes on to list several cases of White victims of Black crimes; as though he's exasperated that anybody should get excited over the murder of some elderly Black guy. But I was thinking: is there a parallel case in American history to Anglin's---a cultist who gets his disciples to carry out his plans? Oh yeah, this guy:
Charles Manson, though, preferred female disciples; but his tactics and goals were fairly similar to Anglin's and his fellow-Red Pills. He hoped that the crimes that he encouraged would get blamed on Blacks, which in turn would start a Race War. He too hid behind plausible deniability for a long time, but eventually he tripped up and would have gone to the Gas Chamber years ago if California hadn't unwisely suspended the death penalty.
A word to the wise among the Manosphere: They got Manson eventually and they'll get you too, eventually. Manson's "Game" ran out; and so will yours.
And that may happen sooner than you think. The difference between the Jackson and Roof cases is that Jackson's also falls under the Terrorism Laws. That gives the prosecutors more latitude to investigate organizations with which the killer was affiliated. Just because Obama blocked enforcement of these laws against radical mosques doesn't mean that Trump won't turn the FBI loose. Recall that he caught two guys making terrorist threats against Jews already. So we may not have heard the end of this saga yet.
President Trump announced today the formation of a new joint Federal Task Force to fight America's spiraling drug-addiction crisis, Opioid addiction specifically. The new commission will be headed by Attorney-General Jeff Sessions and former New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie.
"Drug cartels have spread their deadly industry across our nation and the availability of cheap narcotics has devastated entire communities." Trump said to the press, "It is really one of the biggest problems our country faces, but nobody wants to talk about it."
The fact that the President is talking about it already demonstrates a radical departure from the Obama Administration, which was in complete denial about it. The US Center for Disease Control reported last December that deaths from Opioid narcotics surpassed deaths from firearms last year. And even more importantly, fully 1/3 of these deaths were traceable to prescription Opioids.
It's no secret to anyone who's studied this issue that Wall Street Pharmaceutical Cartels are pushing narcotics on the American public that they are fully aware are dangerously addictive. Many other countries---most recently China---have banned Opioid derivatives which are freely prescribed here.
This is one reason why the issue is not discussed. Democrat politicians and the Corporate Media---who take bribes from Big Pharma under the guise of campaign contributions and advertising revenue---immediately hooted Trump's announcement. The worst rates of addiction, of course, are in ultra-Leftist controlled areas. The situation in some cities is so bad that the drug pushers even have political lobbies.
The fact that Opioid addiction is highest in these areas ought to indicate that most of the coastal cities are the likely transit points for drug shipments from abroad. Most Opiates are coming from the so-called 'Golden Triangle' with Afghanistan and Burma as the two main culprits. China, which borders these countries, has had the same problem and recently sent military advisors and commandoes to Burma to help deal with the traffickers there. Afghanistan, though, remains a threat and Trump will have to address this at some point.
When we consider the involvement of international political criminals in Afghanistan, any efforts that Trump takes there will bring him into collision again with the so-called 'Deep State'. I think there is at least strong circumstantial evidence to conclude that America's drug problem is being coordinated, or at least condoned, by high-level officials inside the United States. But in reality, there is no reason why Trump cannot do what Nixon did in Vietnam: send some B-52s with napalm-bombs to Afghanistan and take out the Opium fields. They can't sell it if they can't grow it; and no doubt China is already doing similar things on the ground in Burma.
Still, this is another step in the right direction. Christie and Sessions have indicated that the new program will also focus more heavily on drug treatment and prevention than earlier attempts. We'll see how effective this will be, but some states like Utah have had good results with similar programs.
Shortly after Andrew Anglin of The Daily Stormer jokingly brushed off the murder of a Black man committed by one of his disciples, the 'Manly Alpha Leaders' at that blog threw a verbal party of sorts over the murder of a young Irish woman in Goa, India. The article was titled Leftist Whore Murdered by Indian Boyfriend.
Danielle McLaughlin was visiting Goa; a former Portuguese colony now administered by India, and popular European tourist destination. Goa is a cosmopolitan city somewhat like Hong Kong or Singapore, but typically attracts a younger crowd. Danielle was assaulted, raped and strangled; and a suspect well-known to local police was indicted for the crime. He seems by all accounts to have been a casual acquaintance of Danielle's---not a 'boyfriend' as Anglin states.
For these Red Pill MGTOW types, the thought that attractive women might be having romantic episodes with men other than themselves sends them into paroxysms of jealous rage. This especially true when non-White men are involved. Now in reality tragic cases like Danielle McLaughlin's---a girl away from home stalked and killed by a thug---is not something that only happens in India. But not letting a good crisis go to waste, Anglin says:
"For young White women in Goa, aside from the hazard of being ankle-deep in human feces, the prospect of being raped and killed is alarmingly high."
This shows that Anglin doesn't live in San Francisco, where women can also stand in human crap and actually have a better chance of being raped and murdered than in Goa. But that detail aside, the Red Pills note that such tragedies are women's own fault:
"Obviously rape and murder are detestable crimes, but so is being a rootless anti-White feminist." (as a side note, I've seen no evidence anywhere that Danielle was either a Liberal or a Feminist or anti-White) "In a sense I don't blame some of these Indians for being angry at some trust-fund babies coming to their country to fetishize it and turn their country into a novelty for virtue-signaling about what non-racist global citizens they are. If you don't want to get raped and killed, don't get drunk and high around non-White men."
And, predictably, International Jewry is to blame too:
"According to E. Michael Jones (an anti-Jewish ideologue) the explosion in cellphone-streamed Jewish pornography to India has caused the national rate of sexual violence to skyrocket. This is especially true when they see White women like the ones in their movies, which turns them feral."
Actually what is turning young men feral---men like Dylann Roof and James Jackson---are false teachers like Anglin who incite them to unnatural acts of violence and hatred. Then, the Red Pill leaders throw such men under the bus and laugh up their sleeves, gaining profit and notoriety from the actions of other men who are sacrificed for it.
This isn't even the first time we've seen such behavior from Anglin. In December, he not only applauded a woman getting attacked with acid, he doxxed her and encouraged his trolls to attack her too.
As disgusting and dangerous as Anglin is, we don't need censorship of such sites as some are suggesting. What we need are leaders among Conservatives to stand up and expose them for what they are.
