After a torrid night, in which at least seven people were killed in a terrorist rampage by three knife-wielding assailant in London, President Trump took to Twitter to warn terrorism will “only get worse” if officials don’t “get down to the business of security for our own people” and end political correctness.

“We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don’t get smart it will only get worse,” he tweeted just after 7am ET on Sunday as the world reeled from the third deadly terrorist attack in the UK in less than three months.

Trump also mocked London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s appeal for calm: “At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is ‘no reason to be alarmed!’ ” Trump said in a subsequent tweet.

Zbigniew Brzezinski

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Brzezinski’s death at 89 years of age has generated a load of propaganda and disinformation, all of which serves one interest group or another or the myths that people find satisfying. I am not an expert on Brzezinski, and this is not an apology for him. He was a Cold Warrior, as essentially was everyone in Washington during the Soviet era.

China’s Latest Assault on the Dollar

From Birch Gold Group

For some time now, China and Saudi Arabia have been negotiating to ditch the petrodollar system and allow Beijing to purchase oil with the Chinese yuan. If a deal is struck, it will be a huge blow to the long-standing system of the petrodollar, which dictates that oil is sold in units of U.S. dollars. Should it begin to dissolve, it could spell the end of U.S. dollar hegemony — leaving Americans with an increasingly devalued currency, and robbing them of their spending power.

Here’s how China’s deal-brokering in the oil market could gradually kill the dollar, and what average savers ought to know about maintaining their savings in spite of it.

Homophiles Prepping The Children

Via Goodbye America (in a photo)

An eight-year-old models a “sexy” dress that adults film and share on social media for virtue sniveling dopamine rewards.

That would be degenerate enough, except the eight-year-old isn’t a little girl.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY – Battle of Midway begins – 1942

Via History.com

On this day in 1942, the Battle of Midway–one of the most decisive U.S. victories against Japan during World War II–begins. During the four-day sea-and-air battle, the outnumbered U.S. Pacific Fleet succeeded in destroying four Japanese aircraft carriers while losing only one of its own, the Yorktown, to the previously invincible Japanese navy.

In six months of offensives prior to Midway, the Japanese had triumphed in lands throughout the Pacific, including Malaysia, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines and numerous island groups. The United States, however, was a growing threat, and Japanese Admiral Isoruku Yamamoto sought to destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet before it was large enough to outmatch his own.

Llpoh: Homestead Update

I have been asked to update progress on the homestead. I emphasize it is not a doomstead, as it is not self-sufficient in food nor energy. It is a lifestyle property. It affords peace, tranquility, comfort, privacy, and the opportunity to be as independent, or not, as we see fit with respect to food, water, etc. I understand what we have done is not possible for many. But I encourage all to consider such a move, if and as they are able.

The property is fifty acres, located a couple hours outside a major Australian city, and about 30 miles from a fairly large rural town. Some basic amenities are around 20 minutes away. The land was bare upon purchase. We are on a hillside. There are views across a valley and up toward neighboring hills. Our nearest neighbor is around a half mile or so away.

A Digital Noose ‘Round Every Corner

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

Graduation season.  Parties, commencements, speeches and lots and lots of photos.  Recently, I loaded all of the pictures onto a PC and saved them into a folder, digitally labeled and timestamped, for posterity.  The next day, I noticed a message from Microsoft.  It said:  “Click here to see the photo album we created for you!”  I clicked and saw the very same photos I had loaded just hours before.  However, I never requested for my personal memories to be shared, let alone arranged into an album organized by the company whose operating system runs my computer.  Evidently, somewhere a while back, a box must have been checked, or unchecked, thus surrendering my right to privacy.

Every day I receive e-mail requests from Linkedin.com, Facebook and other networking websites to follow, like, or join, with people I am actually acquainted with in the real world.  The messages ask me if I “know” them as I see their photos and information along with the opportunity to electronically consummate with them, should I so choose.

MAKIN’ HORSEPOWER

I love this video and it’s be a while since I posted it.

This is a representation of how much fuel flows into just one of eight cylinders in the engine of a Top Fuel Drag Racing Car. At first the engine is just idling then it simulates a roughly four second run under full throttle then shut down.

A Top Fuel engine will burn about 12 gallons of Nitromethane between start up and shut down. Nitro costs $100 per gallon. At full throttle the engine will produce between 8500 and 10,000 horsepower. The average passenger car produces around 150 horsepower.


 

QUOTES OF THE DAY

“Why do we love the idea that people might be secretly working together to control and organise the world? Because we don’t like to face the fact that our world runs on a combination of chaos, incompetence and confusion.”

Jonathan Cainer

“Never join a conspiracy that you could possibly betray, because if you could, someone else will.”

Peter J. Carroll

“I believe conspiracy theorists are creating a conspiracy to distract us from the real conspiracy that is going on”

Chuck Bridges

“I can’t shake the feeling that all these conspiracy theorists are in on it.”

THE TRUTH

Guest Post by Hardscrabble Farmer

This entire shift in culture is coming down to one simple reality.

The Truth.

They don’t offer any of it in anything that they say or do. Her entire presser is loaded from front to back with contradictions, which are the places where truth and fiction collide.

Let’s look-

Kathy Griffin has had a career in the comedy industry that has lasted over 20 years. She has been on TV, appeared in film, written books, had award winning recordings, played venues like Carnegie Hall and Times Square on New Years Eve. And all of this with an act that is near the bottom of what any reasonable comic would consider to be “funny”. One of the worst parts of being a comic is that you become jaded. Once you’ve figured out the tricks of audience manipulation, joke construction and physical delivery little remains that will make you laugh.

Norm Finkelstein on the USS Liberty

I corresponded with one of the surviving crew members, James Ennis, who wrote a book on the attack indicting Israel. His account was totally credible.

For example, a 5-by-8-foot American flag hoisted on the Liberty was fluttering in the wind on a crystalline summer day. Ennis recalled that before the assault an Israeli pilot overhead was flying so low they even waved to each other. So how could Israeli pilots have missed the flag?

It’s ingenious—or hilarious—how Oren (former Israeli ambassador to the US) explains away this inconvenient fact. He says, “But Israeli pilots were not looking for the Liberty, but rather for Egyptian submarines.” In other words, the pilots didn’t see what was staring them in the face above the water because they were in search of a vessel beneath the water. This explanation must have deeply impressed the Los Angeles Times, which awarded him the newspaper’s annual book prize in history.
