Here is some old school new age sounds from my neighbor; after Ivan he was he next-door-down house when 4 houses were washed away in the flood. When he moved into his house I visited and told him of my three totems for the Bay Street Swamp where we live. The Owl, Whitetail Deer and the Woodpecker. He chose to use the symbology on his album cover art for his Siyotanka* music album for meditative music.

“Ten Bears: These things you say we will have, we already have.
Josey Wales: That’s true. I ain’t promising you nothing extra. I’m just giving you life and you’re giving me life. And I’m saying that men can live together without butchering one another.
Ten Bears: It’s sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life… or death. It shall be life.” The Outlaw Josey Wales – 1976

Ten Bears: I have heard. You’re the Gray Rider. You would not make peace with the Blue Coats. You may go in peace. Josey: I reckon not. Got nowhere to go.
Ten Bears: Then you will die.
Josey: I came here to die with you. Or live with you. Dying ain’t so hard for men like you and me, it’s living that’s hard; when all you ever cared about has been butchered or raped. Governments don’t live together, people live together. With governments you don’t always get a fair word or a fair fight. Well I’ve come here to give you either one, or get either one from you. I came here like this so you’ll know my word of death is true. And that my word of life is then true. The bear lives here, the wolf, the antelope, the Comanche. And so will we. Now, we’ll only hunt what we need to live on, same as the Comanche does. And every spring when the grass turns green and the Comanche moves north, he can rest here in peace, butcher some of our cattle and jerk beef for the journey. The sign of the Comanche, that will be on our lodge. That’s my word of life.
Ten Bears: And your word of death?
Josey: It’s here in my pistols, there in your rifles. I’m here for either one.

Trump ain’t a candidate, dumbass. He’s the President of the United States. Show some respect.
Respect is immediately & irrevocably forfeit the minute a scumbag advertises his corruption by “running for office.” Or, in trumpy’s & similars’ cases, even before that.

This is the most out-of-the-political-box site I know but still can’t get over all the trumpsters you see here. It does depress me that those otherwise free thinkers still have faith in this latest Hero That’s Going To Save Me. I actually enjoy the thumbs down when I shit on him. I’d like to think this is the last corn-holing required that will finally cure the good guys of their hallucination called government. One can only hope.
Oh, but it’s going to work *this* time, don’t you know? Voting is a very meaningful activity for getting what you want from your neighbor without holding the gun in their face directly. So people hang on to “the way we’ve always done it” and never find the solutions to make meaningful changes in their own lives instead of trying to “fix the world” by voting. If you listen very carefully today you can almost hear the Vandals at the gate. Good luck voter Joe and patriot Bob.
kokoda - AZEK (Deck Boards) doesn't stand behind its product
I dream of HH Hoppe’s Natural Order society that makes leadership bottom up (voluntary) unlike our top down (force) society. Top down requires a ruling elite, which will always lead to tyranny. There’s no way around that.
The MOST government I’d ever accept is the Articles of Confederation where you have autonomous, sovereign states. At least in that case you can move to the state that suits your wants. Mine would be where crystal meth (whatever that is) is legal along with 50 cal machine guns and restaurants that can discriminate against blacks or men nicknamed CC without anyone giving them grief.
Sad to say all too many people are terrified of total individual freedom. I dream of it.

We have a current system of Gov’t which includes voting to elect those to represent us.
Now, under the current system who is your hero that has a viable chance to be a candidate to replace Trump for the Dem or Rep Parties?
The civics brochures in the states schools read elected represent “us.” Obviously untrue.
Written reality? Hero worship…reality? Status quo deformations of reality trump & supplant reality? We owe it (the debt) to ourselves…reality? It’s your world boss, I just live in it…reality? etc.
Koko, I’m starting to think you’re hopeless. I don’t want any fucking leader I don’t choose for myself. And GD sure I don’t want one who got to where they are by bullshitting people with promises of stolen goods to pass around. The sacrament of voting doesn’t appeal to me any more than the ones in church did.
Human dregs gang up, violate other humans’ natures. Never has the dregless world existed is true. In the dull, utilitarian headcount-majoritarianism sense.
One for all (or fewer than “us” are ours to violate as we may) is the mating call of violent violators, the lowest of human natures.
And that justifies your supporting evil, or the lessor of 2? Have your precious fucking vote. I’m out.
It DID exist in the real world. The Articles of Confederation ratified 1781 existed in fact and was undone by a coup that put this utterly comatose Constitution in place. And it would have existed again in the middle of the 19th century but for lincoln’s war to abolish it by force.
Anarchy cannot be better than what is being served now.. Maybe some faith in Trump is misplaced but even contrarians need to put a little sugar on their doom. There shouldn’t be any shame to a fella clinging to a few shreds of hope. Might you cut the Trumpeteers some slack? Not a big ask…

Trump hasn’t accomplished anything. That’s, like, the definition of success when it comes to government. When the GOP tax plan fails to pass, it’ll be even that much better.
Really? So getting us out of TPP, the Paris Accords, the UN compact on migration ( and we’re about to get out of NAFTA) is nothing? Are you following what’s going on with the FBI and DOJ? Be patient, grasshopper.

Putin had a long press conference yesterday.
Question: — “The US wants Russia to do more to persuade North Korea to curtail its missile programs Does Russia support stricter sanctions against North Korea? Do you think the cooperation with North Korea could warm up Russian relations with the US under Trump? Thank you.”
PUTIN: — “You’re ‘interesting’ people, I’ll give you that. Have you paid attention to your congressmen and senators? They’re so well-dressed. They seem to be smart people. They’ve placed us on par with North Korea and Iran. And at the same time, they’re pushing Trump to persuade us to cooperate in solving the nuclear crises in North Korea and Iran. Are they sane? It seems plain weird to me. It’s beyond common sense.”
Sides are forming like they always do, especially in 4th turnings, proposing that President Trump has not “done” anything, paints a rather moronic picture, especially in the face of near universal resistance. Further, one would have to assume a decent amount of time being required to set up, and make the adjustments in personnel to truly effect change against an organization that has been building and operating for decades.
Stars list is pertinent but short.
Is it not discernible to most that which is happening behind the scenes, unseen, but felt, manifesting itself in a variety of blowouts, with the main eruption most likely on the horizon. Tectonic plates are shifting. Why do you think President Trump surrounded himself with the Military, and looks like Blackwater, from the get?
I think you know, whatever he is, and I do not know yet, he certainly is not more of the same. Might want to cut the man a break, for what comes next from the left, Trump’s leftist equivalent, will truly shock us. It might just be 2 1/2 years that you are wistful about President Trump presidency, when a Militant Tranny sits in office directing the decent into progcommie nirvana.
Just some thoughts.
Otto, the haters always focus on what President Trump hasn’t done, in other words, their personal priorities. Never are they aware of, or do they acknowledge the steady stream of things he gets done. Ignorance is bliss, I guess

What we need is a spreadsheet that summarizes Trump’s major policies and promises – what was implemented, what was abandoned, what is in progress and what was thrown overboard – with plausible reasons about why as it relates to strategy, tactics and changing circumstances. There are a lot of red flags out there about Trump and they started flying during the election campaign and have continued thereafter. Foreign policy towards Russia, the Middle East and NATO have seen complete reversals. The reform of ObamaCare is worse than the original version and the tax cuts do not benefit the middle class in a major away according to Paul Craig Roberts and David Stockman. One can argue that draining the swamp is a long term effort but why surround yourself with so many swamp critters from Goldman Sachs and other gangster organizations? I agree that all the evidence has not been released and the jury is still out but it isn’t looking good for Trump. I hope I am wrong but my gut instinct suggests that we have probably been suckered again by a very sophisticated and deceitful appeal to true patriots. The Q dump on 4chan and 8chan may be an attempt to co-opt Trump supporters. Time will tell but one thing is for sure: if this is another betrayal of American patriots, the US fake democracy is finished because the trust can never be recovered. And this leads to some pretty scary scenarios. I have always thought that reform cannot come via the ballot box but can only come on the battlefield because the powers that be will never give up power willingly as we saw in the recent election in Alabama. And they are so entrenched now that even if Trump is truly authentic, his chances of success are very small.

Putin hit the nail on the head. There is little common sense emanating from the deranged brains of western man. As I have stated many times….they are MAD. But thank God the entire world is not MAD. Putin makes sense whereas the Obummer, Little Trudeau, Merkel, Cameron, the MSM, etc., etc. are stark raving MAD. It seems that the western world is populated by people with twisted minds devoid of any common sense.

I mean nobody fuckin talks about it, but fuckin ISIS is done in Syria and Russia is looking good, even demobilizing, within the parameters Trump had to work with he threw Putin a bone.
Middle East, wow lots to examine in this mosh pit, for starters see above, further, President Trump sent his closest TRUSTED advisor, Jared Kush, to meet with the Saud family early and repeatedly. And now… titanic shifts in Saud internal politics, looking like old family connections (Bush/Clinton) are out, and a new era, with new players is dawning right before our eyes, with Blackwater hauling water for the Trump administration in Saudi Arabia.
