Bullshit. By the time ‘Murica accomplished all those “good things”, TPTB already had their claws in us for over 200 years. Most, if not all of what he named was paid for by fiat money…….debt……passed on to future generations. Greatness built on a foundation of quicksand. What the fuck is great about that? I’m sure TPTB think we’re the greatest…….milk cow that ever lived. Now they have their sights set on raping the world wholesale.
We did great things 80 years ago in part because we didn’t value workers enough to have workplace safety rules. You’ve all seen the picture of the men eating their lunch on an I-beam 1,000 feet above Manhattan. How many bodies are encased in the concrete of Hoover Dam? Over 100 were killed building it.
Many if not most of the great things we did as listed in the video were accomplished with deficit spending, corruption, graft and as you point out, some lack of concern for worker safety. When viewed from the position of those that suffer the consequences of all that bullshit, can they still be viewed as “great”? So 100 people died building Hoover dam. Does that enhance it’s greatness or detract from it? If my father had died there I doubt I would see his death as part of something great.
The deficit spending alone diminishes the greatness of every “great” thing we did because it doomed you, your children, grand children and so on to be debt slaves even before they were born.
I’m not arguing that the conception, construction and benefits of these accomplishments aren’t great per say. Human ingenuity knows no bounds but we are told by our masters what is “great” and what isn’t. There is nothing great about impoverishing future generations, sovereign nations or entire continents. Nothing great can be built on a foundation of bullshit. If it could, there’d be no need for TBP.
As far as bodies being entombed in the concrete dam……I highly doubt it based on 12 years of pouring concrete for a living. If you watch the videos closely they rarely pour the concrete more that two feet deep and rarely more that 10 cubic yards at a time. It would be very easy to remove any dead body in a situation like that. Plus humans are lighter than concrete and tend to float much like twigs in a bucket of water. Besides, leaving people in the dam would cause structural flaws that would compromise strength. Long term, the salts in the body would damage and weaken the concrete as they migrate throughout. Ever seen concrete surfaces in cold climates that get salted? They tend to flake apart. Not good for something like dams or bridge supports.

Admin, thanks for posting my early 9/11 article. In addition to thinking it an interesting theory with a bit of “new” perspective, I hope to bring dear Stuckey by for a visit to fling shit at somebody, hopefully not just me.
I have been reading a bit at Silver Bear, liking Johnnie’s collection of articles and videos there for viewing on the humid summer days when gardening and rabbit tending are out of the question.
I wanted you to know that while I send him a tiny donation once in a blue moon, I have never sent him granola or canned meat. That is reserved for you and only you.
sounds like a good story zara,how about telling it–

The Beginning.
The distilled spirits excise tax of 1791. Commonly known as the “Whiskey Tax”.
Passed by Congress during President George Washington’s term, it was meant to pay the debt incurred, while waging the revolutionary war with England. The “cash grab” was very unpopular and against the majority of the populace’s opinion. Who viewed it as taxation without local representation, exactly what they had recently fought England against.
As a result, what came to be known as the “Whiskey Rebellion” broke out. Resulting in excise (tax) collectors being tarred, feathered and threatened with further violence. Some deaths occurred between the militia and the whiskey rebels, in small scale pitched battles.
President George Washington called out the militia to put down this insurrection. He marched at the head of an army 12,900 militia men strong, of the size he used to defeat the English. In the face of this force, the opposition melted away and tax collections resumed in earnest. This resulted in a great number of distillers going out of business and the remainder to become “Moonshiner’s”.
At the end of his presidential term, George Washington retired to his estate and by 1798 had become the largest distiller of whiskey in the new nation. Taken in context of what occurred during this eight year period, this is suspiciously looked upon today as colluding to use political power for financial gain. Times change, but my oh my, the game stays the same. Hasn’t changed.
An early version of the Military Industrial Complex, eh? Consider how vulnerable the internal enemy (at that time… the Native American aka Indians of the Frontier) was to the firewater made by the distillers of the times. Why, even old Jack Daniels himself had to get himself elected to Congress to get an exemption for that dry county in Kentucky to allow the largest Bourbon distillery in the country to operate in a dry county (and, even a century or so later? During Prohibition.)
All about the money that Congress gets into its own pocket. What the Executive hasn’t already claimed, that is.
I took a tour there while on a cross country motorcycle adventure in 1982ish. The informative tour about Jack Black was fascinating. Is it still a dry county?
As far as I know; I don’t think there’s any reason to change it.
One of my IT buddies in college in 1980 or so was a programmer for them during the summers. He said they used to let employees choose to take a bit of salary home as product – up to a fifth a month, I think he said. Not sure they still do this, it’s been decades and things change.
He said whole generations of folks around there would buy a fifth on the weekend, sit on the porch and sip it as the sun went down and the evening breeze came up.
I can think of worse ways to start a weekend.
I remember that they sold the oak barrels the product was aged in as “scrap” to anyone, even teens. Since the wood soaked up gallons of liquor during the 7/10/12 year aging process, one could take the half barrel purchased for $5, add a few bottles of Coca-Cola and ice and have a party at the lake. Ah, the good old days.
wrong on 2 counts: Jack Daniels is made in Tennessee and it is whiskey (NOT bourbon which is only made in Kentucky)

More self hate.
Education. Dropping because the liberals running the school system want you to believe that your child (who is dumb as a bag of hammers) is the next great mind if only he stays in this special federally funded program. Other countries steer your dumbass kid right into lesser stations in life so they ain’t slowing the smart ones down. Often to the point of tears. You kid is a disruption? Out they go. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.
Child/infant mortality. Taken from bogus UN information. Not every country uses the same reporting criteria.
War on poverty? WTF?? The more money you throw at it, the worse it gets. “If only we threw another million/billion/trillion at it, it’ll go away.” As said earlier “Nigger please”
I love the “angel” dig. If you have faith “your an idiot”! It’s like the scarlet letter. Just embrace our brand of nihilism any you will be happy (FTR. I haven’t been in a church for myself since 05-28-1983.)
As for all the things that we are not any longer?
A lot, maybe most of it is still out there in fly-over country. Get out of Philly, NY, Baltimore, LA or in my case the Miami-Fort Lauderdale- Palm Beach metro-plex/hellhole and take a look around.

Hogwash. Many of those sorry stats in the beginning are due to forced diversity and third-world immigration. Remove the ten most vibrant cities, and you’ll see different stats entirely.
Also, the rest of the world isn’t as free as he says, not when native citizens (in Germany, for example) can be hauled off by the thought-police by saying unkind things about the invasion.
Exactly. The thought police rule Canada and Western Europe.

Honestly, Admin, I think you uploaded that without thinking it through. We all can and should object to jingoism, but unpacking that litany of left wing bullshit would take a month. 173rd in infant mortality? You cannot be serious. As was stated above that’s only because we count from the instant the kid pops out of the cooter, while other countries don’t count ’em as infants until they’re a month old. “We waged wars on poverty, not poor people”. Yeah, how’d that War on Poverty turn out? It turned into the Thirty Blocks of Squalor, that’s how it turned out. “We aspired to intelligence, we didn’t belittle it.” Translation: “if you question any of the statistical premises behind GloBull Warming, you are a knuckle-dragging idiot.” That diatribe sounds like it was written by one of Elizabeth Warren’s acolytes after watching A Few Good Men. Also, Jeff Daniels’ acting was melodramatic horseshit. Watch it again and tell me where I’m wrong.
Depends on how you define “better”. I’ve lived in & visited several countries. I learned that while governments & economic policies differ greatly, the people are remarkably similar. They have the same cares & fears, and they want much the same things for their families. I’d like to hear why you believe America is the greatest (be specific, no platitudes, lol)
“Greatest country in the world” is indeed a platitude. If someone wants to say Mexico is the greatest because they have the best tacos, that’s their right. “Greatest” is subjective. What is provably true is that most of the rant in that video was bullshit.
Marshy, I was ranting to a fellow worker one time and he kept repeating that line, “Coyote, it’s the greatest country in the world, right?” I guess because I’m Hispanic, he saw me as an immigrant and felt I should sound like Yakov Smirnoff.

I will grant you that the U.S of today is not the same as it was. I as well have lived and visited numerous other countries. I strongly disagree about governments differing greatly, they all have the natural instinct of crushing human freedom (thought, expression). People wanting the same things, maybe.
What still separates us from other countries is I have the right to say what I want, offend who I want without the fear of imprisonment (for now). I also have the right to defend my family and myself in any manner I deem appropriate. Not so much in many other places. Also I can still move up the economic food chain if I have the energy and burning desire to do so, not as much as in the past, but opportunity still abounds here if one is motivated.
And just so we are clear I didn’t say murica f yeah. I just wanted the name of a country you thought was better.

Meh. Liberalism dialed down just enough to imply that moral action lies on the left. Now? We’re not liberal enough, we’re not being progressive enough, we’re not tackling problems like the progressives we need to be. All those problems begging for progressives to manage and solve if only they had the taxes to do it right. Climate change. Alternative energy. Free college. Reparations.
All that was missing were lines about gun violence, white privilege, and xenophobia. It was all just pulsating beneath the surface. Yes we did great things because we were informed by great people. Like Cronkite, Murrow, and Woodward and Bernstein.
If there was anything that was remotely related to constitutional betrayal, massive government, lower taxes, or keeping a white majority I didn’t hear it. A smug, fingernail-on-the-blackboard speech that Nancy Pelosi would love.

Interesting to me is that one of the characteristics of good times gone is “when men were men”! Who is pushing for men to be other than men? Or for not-men to be counted as men?
First one, SJWs. Fourth-wave intersectional feminists. Anyone who blames straight white men for all the problems of the world. Those who hate reality, for whatever reason.
As for not-men to be counted as men, did you miss that whole “transgender bathrooms” thing last year?
The thing to watch is TV ads. Gone is the Marlboro Man. Now everywhere you see the metrosexual with skinny pants and a too-tight blazer whose bottom edge is level with his belly button. These guys look to be about 145 lbs. Heavier guys are heavy because of fat not muscle. Not too many Mike Rowes.
Rare is the guy who doesn’t have three or four days worth of whiskers or a scraggle beard. Clean shaven is out. Ties are out. Men now tell you what laundry soap they use when they’re home taking care of the kids and teenage boys tell their dads on the phone that they can change a tire when they can’t. Maytag ad actors are in ads that are cringeworthy.
Homosexual males appear as couples visiting mom and dad and arrive with adorable huggy chest whatchamacallits for the infant tragically destined to grow up in their creepy household. That homosexual guy from some sitcom is in a lot of ads now but he’s just plain funny.
The only manly man I can think of in the adosphere is that “control enthusiast” for National car rental. He’s great. And you got to live the guy who saws the aluminum boat down the middle and puts it back together with that amazing black tape. I ordered 40 rolls.
The guy who does the Nationwide ads is another exception.
The women are all strong, of course. Did I even have to say that?
It’s sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell. And I don’t mean products. Home burglars are all white, of course. It is to laugh.
I do love that black gal who tells the homeowner that the insurance company covers zombie apocalypses but not the misfortune that struck him. Great commercial and cute gal!

..but but America is so healthy too.
I post this in response to my liberal Fakebok friends that claim Japan has low health care costs because they have single payer.
The Japanese spends on health care less than half per person than does the US.
Americans 33.8% are obese—> Japan 3.7%
Americans 10.8 have diabetes —-> Japan 3.7%
Americans have 300/100,100 incidents of Cancer —> Japan 200/100,000
Americans have a 18% higher mortality from Lung Cancer (smoking)
Americans consume 28% more alcohol than Japanese.
Americans have a prevalence of Opiate use of .57% versus Japan at 0.1%
The US ranked 9th from 6th in the highest drug use countries, Japan did not make the list.
Is there a correlation there?
