Hard to decide whether to put this under the War thread or Revolution or give it a thread of its own. Decided on War, mainly because while the political outcome of a revolution is not clearly evident, the violence of war is pretty much guaranteed.
The main questions are how quickly it will evolve how widespread and pervasive it will be and what forms it will take? Also, how will the military factor in? Will the chain of command hold up? Will we get Martial Law?

The public are not united in their hatred against the government. I mean the discord between Trump and Harris is testament how split the voting public in what is right. Due to this I cannot see how the public goes against big government to cause a lasting civil war.
The alternative scenario for a civil war is if the elites are on two sides of the fence and they are duking it out for overall control of the country. While there are some disagreement most are still in favour of the status quo so I cannot see a civil war being created under this scenario either. There needs to be so other factor that creates the condition where either the public unite against the government (or elite) or if the elite themselves split into two different factions. Currently I do not see either event happening so whilst there will be friction and conflict it will not escalate into a full blown civil war.

Title: Buried Alive in Syria
Post by: RE on Nov 30, 2024, 05:01 PM
I caught a film last night called "Buried" on FX I believe. It was a 1 man show starring Ryan Reynolds about a civilian contractor who was kidnapped and buried alive by blackmailers in Syria. It's the kind of small, non-commercial films a big time actor can do as a vanity project to show off his acting skills or for political reasons etc. The entire film takes place with him inside this box communicating with the outside world on a cell phone.
It is of course very depressing, and tho RR gets on my nerves, he did a good job with the acting. Just to spend all the time in the box on the set is real commitment to his acting craft. But what is most interesting about the movie is how the FSoA Goobermint REALLY deals with these kidnappings and ransom demands, which happen a whole lot more often than we hear about on the MSM.
Forget all those feel-good movies where the ex-pat runs to the US Embassy and gets help. The State Dept policy is not to negotiate with terrorists. Basically, that ended with the Hostage Crisis back in the 70s, which featured Ted Koppel reporting on it on the late night newz show. It made Ted's career and was the begining of the "Nightline" newz show. Ted was also a war correspondent before that in Vietnam.
Those were the days before our Fascist Goobermint took control over the newz media and restricted what they can show to prevent the kind of opposition that the reporting from Vietnam fed into. Now on YT I can't even turn up any clips of those reports, just a vid of old Ted talking about it.
Anyhow, because of this, now instead of talking to any State Dept person, the victim is given some NGO rep to talk to who serves as the intermediary. This person does everything he can to convince the victim to NOT make a vid which the kidnappers will put up on YT, and YT also shuts them down shortly after they go up. Under the "National Security" excuse. This is why we never hear about this or see it, even though it happens regularly over there to journalists, civilian contractors, AID workers etc. As they said in the film, in some neighborhoods this is the only way to make any money.
Even just contacting anyone at all to help him was almost impossible, and if your family isn't rich enough to pay a ransom demand, you can't raise the money through a crowd funding effort on social media either. The ONLY people who will ever get any real help have to be rich and famous or politically important. The companies that hire people to do this make them sign contracts indemnifying them from any obligations or responsibility, and in this case even falsely accused the guy of having an affair with another worker in order to terminate his employment before he died so they wouldn't have to pay insurance money to his family. Listening to the lawyer on the phone with him while he is buried alive will make you want to puke and confirm all the worst things you ever heard told about lawyers.
Hopefully this film will convince anyone thinking of taking a job with one of the firms that supplies contract workers in MENA that no matter how high the pay is, the risk is just too great and not worth it. If you do take such a job, make sure you go over there with a cyanide pill and be ready to bite down on it as soon as you get kidnapped. I can think of no more horrible way to die than to be buried alive. Because it takes so long to die, it's even worse than dying in a fire I think.
The fact our Goobermint so actively prevents these events from being reported on, it turns this into a death sentence for the victims. It doesn't reduce the incidence of its occurence, because the folks doing it keep doing it whether or not they get paid. If they don't get paid the first time, the victim dies and they try again. What it shows is that our Goobermint doesn't give a shit about you if you're poor. Nether do the companies that do the hiring. Basically, it should be illegal for American companies to run these kind of operations, but without them the military couldn't function because they fill the logistics role.
Desperate people will do anything when the company waves a big paycheck at them, but despite supposedly being "fully informed" about the risks, the fact is they are not fully informed. They aren't told the truth about how many people are really kidnapped or how often they are actually rescued if it happens. The real answers are it happens often and they almost never get rescued.
The only reason this film even got made and got on FX is because Ryan Reynolds made it. He has gone way up in my regard for him as an actor and as a person. I still find many of his mainstream movies annoying though. lol.

Title: ‘Would you survive 72 hours?’ Germany and the Nordic countries prepare citizens for
Post by: RE on Dec 01, 2024, 12:51 AM
It appears Da Goobermints in Eurotrashland are taking seriously the possiblity of the war in Ukraine expanding, particularly in the Baltic and Scandinavian states. They're pushing civilian readiness and prepping for wartime shortages and deprivation.
Now, I can't see Vlad the Impaler pulling an invasion stunt in Finland or Sweden like in Ukraine, but if these countries accept and deploy NATO missiles on the Ruskie border, he's definitely going to retaliate somehow. The most obvious method is to cut off their supply of NG, but given the fact that the FSoA has ramped up the ability to export this stuff that actually plays into the hands of the energy companies. It would certainly raise the price of the gas, and if he doesn't sell it he loses the income from it. So if an embargo of gas isn't a viable retaliation, what other choices does he have?
In reality, Ukraine shows that invasion isn't really an option for anybody anymore on either side of these conflicts, and the real problem as far as wartime levels of deprivation come as consequences of the economic warfare which is ongoing. This war is being fought by denying access to credit which starves a country of the FOREX needed to buy various energy products. Cuba is the Canary in the Coal Mine, but any country that's not energy self-sufficient is vulnerable to the political pressure from the supply side countries, namely the FSoA and Mother Russia primarily.
The result of this is that it's becoming clear how the reduction of energy consumption is being managed, which is by forcing smaller countries into a wartime economy. The problem of course is that this is slowing down the Consumption economy globally, leading to the counter-intuitive result of a surplus of energy resources in the supply side countries. Thus we get the $65 oil, which despite being incredibly cheap highly indebted countries in Africa, Asia, South America and now even Europe can't afford. If you consider how much inflation there has been over the last decade (28.73%), $65 today is the equivalent of about $50 in 2014 dollars. Inflation since 1984 has been 200%, so that is about $22 oil in 1984 dollars. Actual price of oil in 1984 was $28. So taking into account inflation, oil is actually CHEAPER than it was 40 years ago! lol.
Despite the fact the oil (and NG) is so cheap, the countries and consumers in these countries are losing access to the credit needed to buy it. The way the energy shortage manifests itself is by a shortage of credit, not a shortage of the actual product. Isn't that interesting?
Anyhow, despite the fear mongering ongoing in Sweden & Finland, it's highly unlikely IMHO that Vlad will invade either country or that NATO will lob a Nuke onto the Kremlin. They will however begin experiencing Brownouts & Blackouyts as though war was ongoing. Which it is, but it's happening inside the board rooms of the WTO, the IMF and the restauraants in Davos, Switzerland.

The sources I follow concerning Ukraine make it clear that Russian intelligence is top notch at tracking NATO personnel in Ukraine.
They just took out dozens of them with drones and missiles in retaliation for a Ukraine attack. No information about this using Google. Use other means to find out more. There is a lot of news since Biden decided Killenski could play with bigger toys. But not much you are supposed to know about. American activity in Syria is also provoking the Russians. But when the existing POTHUS is not as smart as this guy,
France will threaten invasion over their losses, but I shed no tears over the death of people who kill for money. And you can leave out the part about money. The distinction is unnecessary.
QuoteFrance's President Emmanuel Macron has promised to provide Ukraine with intense support in its battle against Russia's "escalation" of its invasion, his office said.
The American human vegetable president can still kill. Letting Killenski use long range missiles deep into Russia used the brainpower of a head of lettuce. Whoever is actually behind it. At this point Biden probably could not do such a thing without help.
Stir the pot on your way out, Can you piss on your shoe too? I bet you can. You pissed on everybody else's shoe, so it stands to reason. And you are responsible for the escalation.

Well, everything is being spun to place the blame for any deprivation on Putin. As far as the media is concerned, it's not an energy crisis, it's a political crisis with Putin as the bad guy who wants to invade and holding them hostage to Ruskie gas supply.
This is how it lines up on the geopolitical level. If you join with the BRICS, you get your energy from Russia and China. FFs from the Ruskies, Renewables from the Chinese. Line up with NATO, you get your energy from the FSoA, Canada and the House of Saud. That's why the BRICS set up their own credit and clearing system, so they wouldn't be hostage to the Dollar and SWIFT in political and economic disputes.
Far as Russia's relationship with the Finns, the only thing important is their geographic position on the Baltic Sea, right across from the Ruskie naval installation in St. Petersburg. It's too far north to be a pipeline route for gas going west from Russia to Europe. If they were to start pumping Oil from the Arctic Ocean it could be important, but with the current glut and price of oil, nobody is going to drill the Arctic.
Anyhow, I don't think the Finns are worried about invasion. I think they're worried about energy shortages and supply chain failures.

Crops wither in the fields, unpicked—because Trump's regime is vanishing people by the hundreds. Blood-curdling screams in the live feed is uncensored. That's the sound of families torn apart, of communities hunted, of Trump's fascist deportation machine grinding human lives into dust.
Don't be fooled by their sickening propaganda. Trump's handlers now stage-manage a few deportation returns, a handful of carefully choreographed returns, just enough to pretend they're "complying with the courts" while they kidnap thousands in the dark. This is a calculated purge, a Christian fundy crusade masquerading as policy.
The fucking racist christian nationalists have brought on Armageddon. They planned for it. Their sick agenda demands it. And now, with ICE raids and mass terror, they've unleashed it.
This isn't just cruelty. This is ethnic cleansing by bureaucracy. State-sanctioned horror, carried out by a fascist regime that feasts on suffering while the oligarchs cheer. Just like it was at the end of the first time the orange pig was president. We see you, Trump. We hear the screams.

Demonstrators gathered in Seattle's Cal Anderson Park on Wednesday night then took to the streets to denounce the Trump administration's ICE raids around the country and the decision to deploy the military in Los Angeles.
The crowds grew into the hundreds even before the event's scheduled 7 p.m. start. As people milled around in the park, and some gave speeches, many were preparing to march downtown. Organizers refused to disclose the destination even as the group went on the move and blocked traffic on Pine Street around 8:15 p.m. Above, a helicopter moved with the crowd.
But the group was heading, as everyone basically knew, to the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building. Once near the building, around 9 p.m., a few in the crowd dressed in black and masked, began to drag garbage cans into the road. Then chairs and tables from a terrace of a nearby building.
The crowd had been mellow, if determined at the beginning. Whenever I go to an action I'll be checking the local news as soon as I can to see what they got wrong. Had I marched from the park with the rest going downtown I would not be home yet to post this. The destination was clearly announced before the march downtown started. It was said on the loudspeakers. Local news is always looking for something sneaky to happen at Seattle protests. Our media conveniently 'forgot' about the realistic drills that were common here when the war on terror was young. Cos-playing anarchists was a thing.
Lots of people were dressed in black, a few of the more buff and built no doubt were the Kings men. Ready to pretend to be antifa. I got a whiff of something nasty that was accidentally released by somebody as I walked through the crowd. Suddenly my right eye was in pain and I had a burning sensation in my throat. Somebody had bear spray, or pepper spray, or something, and some must have leaked.
Nothing was going on when this happened, it was accidental. The crowd, about 1000 people was mellow when it started marching. It is very relaxing to be in a crowd of hundreds of people when everyone is getting along.
The chopper loud as fuck showed up as the march downtown started. I am happy not to have had to deal with that shit. It would have got on my nerves.

What's the over-under on Trumpolini declaring Martial Law on June 14th if the protests are big enough? Hell, he'll already have the tanks in the streets with his Birthday Parade. His whole objective here is obviously to incite violence as an excuse to grab still more power.
There's no way he'll back down, which means there are only a few possible outcomes.
1- More extreme repression with troops dispatched to all the major big shitties, suspension of various civil rights.
2- Rebellion or a coup d'Etat with possible secession by some states.
3- Increasing anarchy and random violence with no clear direction or leadership.
4- Possible assasination attempt, either real or False Flag.
Probably some other possibilities also, with the commonality that all the scenarios will lead to increasing violence along with an economic crisis. Needless to say, the Bond Vigilantes will not react well to any of these scenarios and getting a new federal budget passed is going to be impossible.

Title: Millions in US expected to protest against Trump in ‘No Kings’ protests
Post by: RE on Jun 13, 2025, 06:29 AM
Millions nationally is good. but I'm more curious about what the biggest single demonstration is, and how it plays out. You have to figure it will be in LA, which also has the biggest military presence. Who will the speakers be and what will they say? What celebrities will turn out? What kind of counter protests will the MAGAotts organize?
About 700 Marines being mobilized in response to LA protests

The Posse Comitatus Act: Why the Military Can't Act as Police (And Why it Matters)
For nearly 150 years, a little-known law called the Posse Comitatus Act has kept the U.S. military out of domestic policing. But recent events have exposed dangerous loopholes that could allow presidents to bypass these protections. Here's what you need to know.
What Is the Posse Comitatus Act?
Passed in 1878, the Posse Comitatus Act bans the use of federal troops, the Army, Air Force, and Marines as domestic law enforcement unless Congress or the Constitution explicitly allows it. The law was originally meant to stop the military from interfearing with civil rights after the Civil War.
The purpose is to prevent the U.S. from becoming a military-run state. Soldiers aren't cops. Police answer to local officials. The military answers to the president. Authoritarian overreach happens if the military is allowed to be police.
The law is just one sentence:
QuoteWhoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
Posse Comitatus applies to active-duty military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Space Force) personel. The Coast Guard (which does law enforcement) and the National Guard. Unless they're federalized, which Trump illegally did.
The Insurrection Act lets the president send troops to stop rebellions and enforce civil rights laws. In 2020, the Trump administration exploited two major gaps in the law:
The D.C. National Guard Loophole, unlike other states, the D.C. Guard always reports to the president. In 2020, Trump deployed them against protesters without invoking the Insurrection Act.
The "Title 32" Trick, Normally, National Guard troops answer to governors. Under Title 32 status, they're federally funded, but still under state control. Trump got 11 governors to send 'their' Guards to D.C. creating a federalized force without oversight.
The military's job is to defend the country. Not police its citizens. Without Posse Comitatus, the King's men will police.
Bringing in the Marines is a clear violation, and Peter Brian Hegseth should get two years in a federal basket weaving camp for his violation. If Trump gets by with violating Posse Comitatus he will be emboldened, and Trump will use his military again, and again, and again. Until the people whom Trump has fucked over can't be counted because there are so many of them.
Or am I the only one who understands this about Trump? Trump has the Hitler hate.
To stop Trump put his Lackeys in Prison. Give them consequences. Then Trump will have no Lackeys. But without consequences, his madness will only grow, and stupidity will reproduce itself.

How many millions? Where will the largest crowd be? Where will the "Proud Boys" show up to bust heads and start some riots? Will we get 4 Dead in O-Hi-O?
