Generational Dynamics World View News
Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
One postulate John frequently mentions is that major movements are not determined by individual leaders but by masses of people. This is clearly being demonstrated today where millions upon millions are supporting the Democrat platform, and planning to elect a leader they have almost no enthusiasm for and know is probably suffering from cognitive decline. Even his replacement, Kamala is generally despised by the left. So the leadership is less than an afterthought; the movement itself is what matters.
Whatever happens in the future is what the people wanted. They wanted to be fed pretty lies, they wanted chaos in the streets, they wanted deficits that will lead to global ruin, they wanted redistribution. You can't deny that there are swaths of people who think their path to power is only through the destruction of the current power structure and looting the remains.

Interesting video. It is from India in English, so target audience is Americans or Indians in America. It does not paint a pretty picture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn5SGkaKQGw

** 01-Nov-2020 World View: Tough luck
The reason that your comment is so funny is that you have absolutely
no idea what I would consider lucky.
So first off, at my age hopefully I won't be around much longer. So
I'll be a lot luckier than you, because you'll be alive and I'll be
dead.
Second, "be careful what you wish for." The evidence of criminal
behavior by the Biden family has become enormous in the last three
weeks, and won't go away if Biden wins. There's an FBI investigation,
but even without that, there's enough information in public for the
public investigation to be self-sustaining.
Biden would also have to deal with continuing antifa-blm fascist
violence and with the Wuhan Coronavirus crisis, and it's doubtful that
either he or Kamala has the management skills to deal with such
crises.
Third, as I've said many times, it's a principle of Generational
Dynamics that major decisions are made by the people, not by the
politicians. Putting aside the rhetoric and massive criminal
corruption of the Democrats, the country's policies won't be very
different than under a second Trump term. In particular, all that new
green deal stuff is so idiotic and laughable that it won't go
anywhere. Biden might get some things done on the margins, like
removing some incentives for oil drilling, but nothing more.
A good example is Barack Obama, whose planned policies were just as
idiotic as Biden's, but he got nothing done and, in the end, putting
aside the rhetoric and the massive corruption of the Democrats, the
country's policies under Obama were little different than under a
third Bush term.
I've written about this many times, but it's worth repeating now.
Obama had plans to try to bring peace to the world through his
unopposed policies.
In June 2008, he said, "I am absolutely certain that generations from
now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was
the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to
the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to
slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a
war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best
hope on Earth."
At the time he said this, I thought it was just the usual crazy
nonsense crap coming from politicians, but I was shocked later that
Obama actually believed it. In the 2008 campaign, Obama said that he
was going to heal the world as soon as he took office. He would be
guided by facts, not like President Bush, who had been guided by
ideology and ignored facts. He would cure global warming, close
Guantánamo island prison, become friendly with Iran and North Korea,
bring a two-state solution to Palestinians and Israelis, beat the
Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, impose strict gun control
policies, reflate the real estate and stock market bubbles and, of
course, provide universal health care.
Obama accomplished none of those goals. He couldn't even accomplish
the simplest one -- closing Guantánamo -- which you'd think he'd be
able to do easily. But no, he couldn't. And Biden's policies are
even more idiotic than Obama's, and won't go anywhere except to
generate controversy. But who knows? Maybe Biden will get a
Nobel Peace Prize anyway.
The above is particularly true if Biden is forced to leave office
and Kamala takes over. She's a total loon, extremely divisive,
and very unpopular.
For me, a Biden/Kamala presidency will be as incompetent as the Obama
presidency, but Biden won't have Obama's charisma (or Bill Clinton's
charisma). I know that I had to be very careful when criticizing
Obama's policies, because anyone criticizing Obama was immediately
called a racist. That won't be an issue for me or anyone else
criticizing Biden's incompetent policies.
It's true that I do favor Trump over Biden, but that's because Trump
is a much better manager than Biden. Trump's management of the Wuhan
Coronavirus pandemic has been outstanding. He got vaccines and
therapeutics developed in a few months that normally (or under Obama
or Biden) would have taken years. Trump was even congratulated at
times by the governors of NY and California.
The major example of Obama's management "skills" was his management of
the development of the Obamacare disaster. As I've written many
times, what happened on the afternoon of October 1, 2013, was that
President Obama stood up at a press conference to launch Obamacare.
He did so without the vaguest clue that the Healthcare.gov web site
had been a disaster for hours. It was a total farce, and Obama made a
complete fool out of himself. As I wrote in my 2015 analytical
article, Obamacare was a Rube Goldberg invention filled with massive
corruption, criminality and incompetence. Obama had thrown something
like $900 million dollars at a $50 million problem and assumed that no
management was required. That's how stupid and incompetent Obama was.
If Trump had been in charge of Obamacare development, he would have
handled it the way he handled the pandemic. He would have provided
only $30 million instead of over $500 million, until more was needed,
and he would have been on the phone every day to the consulting firms
to make sure that development was on time. On the morning of
October 1, 2013, Trump would have known exactly what the status was,
rather than making a fool out of himself like Obama.
Just to take one example that I discussed in my 2015 article. CGI
Corp. was responsible for the Massachusetts web site. Obama gave them
$200 million, even though it was really only a $10 million project.
CGI Corp saw its job as finding ways to spend $200 million. They
hired programmers who couldn't even write a memo, let alone a computer
program. They defrauded the government by faking test results and
lying about deadlines. They fired the one whistleblower who
complained about what was going on. On Oct 1, 2013, nothing worked.
Another firm had to take over, and all of CGI's code had to be thrown
out as worthless garbage. $200 million had been wasted on nothing.
Trump would never let anything like that happen, but that's standard
fare for Obama's corruption and incompetence.
Even worse, Obamacare confiscated over $716 billion in the Medicare
insurance fund to provide funding for Obamacare entities. This is
money that workers have been paying into the fund for decades, and now
it's all gone. That's criminal incompetence.
Will Biden/Kamala be as incompetent as Obama? I don't know.
I haven't mentioned foreign policy, but Obama appointed that
ridiculous clown John Kerry to be secretary of state, and we watched
(and I documented) as he stumbled from one disaster to the next. By
contrast, Trump has managed the situations with North Korea and China
very well, forcing them to live up to their commitments, rather than
just letting the commitments slide as Clinton, Bush and Obama did, and
Trump has also gotten three Arab countries to sign peace deals with
Israel, which Obama never could. But hey! Obama got the Nobel
Peace Prize. That's what's important, isn't it?
Will Biden/Kamala have any foreign policy skills? I don't know.
There's an ironic result of the Democrats' illegal spying on the
Trump campaign. Mueller spent tens of millions of dollars paying
his gang of Democrats to investigate Trump, and after three years
they found nothing. All they did was prove that Trump is probably
the most honest president in the history of the country.
Are Biden/Kamala honest? We already know that Biden is a crook,
and that Kamala does what AOC tells her to do.
So you've had it easy for the last four years. Just sit back and make
truly idiotic comments about Trump, calling him Hitler and Milosevic
and such, and repeat everything that the shithead Adam Schiff says,
but if Biden wins then you'll have to defend his criminality and
incompetence, which will be a lot harder for you.
I, on the other hand, can just criticize one idiotic Biden failure
after another. So who's the lucky person now?
I have an idea. Why don't you start a new forum thread: "Let's
make fun of Biden while we still can, before he goes to jail
or dies of dementia"?
Lol! To start, see Proverbs 16:18.pbrower2a wrote: > It's your tough luck, Mr. X, that a majority of voters in enough

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
John, great job in setting straight the confused mindset of those that ally themselves with the Democrat party propaganda, as well as its clear history of being the party of racism and division, though the claim (yes, another inversion) that they are not. Notice, as I will get to in a second, they are the manifestation in human physical and spiritual form (that's what we are of course) of the spirit of the age. This spirit is demonic and therefore it accuses (the name of Satan) or deceives, or divides. It is both archetypal and real. The accusation part I cannot fathom how anyone doesn't understand at this point, except that they have denied their understanding of life and metaphysical concepts that truly make them human: the left accuses, in nearly every case, someone else precisely with what they themselves are doing. There are many, many recent examples but the biggest headliners would be the Russian influence and fake dossier/FISA lies to oust Trump (Clinton did this), Ukraine was extorted by Trump (Biden literally did this with a smoking gun CSPAN interview admission), etc.
What I am getting at is this is the spirit of this age, the spirit of antichrist. This concept is misunderstood since there are so many sensational or stupid teachings about it, which are not orthodox. As I'm guessing, John knows that the greek here means (and this is the theological understanding as well) INSTEAD of Christ. That is what antichrist is, you put things in place of the One True God (Jesus Christ), and there are many of them. We also can refer to these things as idols, since that's what we erect when we are in error. This explains why we have come to this point in American history and why we must pray to not be swayed by these specious ideas and worldly things, reject them and return to God. We have transgressed but we can repent (change our minds eye) and return to being faithful. I pray that we will. Even if others still decide to keep up the lie, we can pray for them but we must not despair.
There is hope, we must get another period of rest and a chance to repent, and that is why the election is so important. The collectivist, evil, and communist ideology is at our doorstep. To give power to it, headed by a traitorous man in physical, mental decline (spiritually he was bought off long ago) and his assistant who will cause even more chaos - which is the plan, would lead to our runaway ruin. Virtuous Americans of the past are praying for us! Let's not give in to the chaos.
Trump 2020!
Nevertheless, Your will be done. Amen.

Yes, the people get what they deserve, but they desire it. This is the spirit of the age I refer to above. "Security" over liberty, make good on promises to bankrupt the system as long as they get their retirement or pension and healthcare (forget the other generations, we have the voting power and care nothing but for ourselves and not for principle), now even take away the liberty of OTHERS so as to decrease the chance (though it's a lie) to die because I fear death and believe the lies of the overlords who claim to "save lives" as if they had such power.Burner Prime wrote: Sat Oct 31, 2020 4:26 pm One postulate John frequently mentions is that major movements are not determined by individual leaders but by masses of people.

-- Over 100 Chinese Migrant Workers Detained for Illegally Entering
Vietnam

(Epoch Times, 29-Oct-2020)
Normally, China encourages Chinese to move to other countries to get
employment, and to establish a local Chinese enclave that can be used
to spy and control the local politics. This has been a specific
policy with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and debt trap
diplomacy, where China can use overdue debts and the diaspora to
control the politicians.
Vietnam is different. There's no BRI. North Vietnam can already
be thought of as a large Chinese enclave, except that the North
Vietnamese and the Chinese hate each other, and could go to war again
at any time, especially in the South China Sea.
During the Second Indochina War (what we call the "Vietnam War"), the
Chinese wanted the North and the South to remain separate countries,
since they they didn't want a united Vietnam on their southern border.
But the Soviets wanted the North to defeat the South and unify
Vietnam, so they provided a lot of military support to the North
Vietnamese. This led to the war that followed the Second Indochina
War, namely the extremely genocidal and bloody Vietnam-Cambodia-China
war, where China was supporting Cambodia, and the Soviets were
supporting Vietnam.
So if the news is true that the Chinese are planning to build a wall
along the entire China-North Vietnam border are true, that would be
quite dramatic, and would indicate that the Chinese are actually
afraid of Vietnam in some way -- perhaps they see a new China-Vietnam
or Vietnam-Cambodia war coming.
Nonetheless, it's hard for me to see why a few hundred illegal
migrants would cause that level of alarm. Maybe the Chinese are
afraid that an open border will allow the Wuhan Coronavirus to come
into China from North Vietnam. But it seems to me that there must be
something else going on that's not described by the media reports.
That further issue might be the continuing Hong Kong crisis.
Cantonese-speaking Guangdong province is adjacent to Hong Kong, and is
the crucible of the last two major anti-government rebellions. The
last two of these massive rebellions were the the Taiping Rebellion
(1850-64) and Mao's Communist Revolution (1934-49) -- and both of
these rebellions began in Guangdong province and spread north.
I've speculated in the past that the Hong Kong protests could spread
into Guangdong province and spark a new anti-Beijing rebellion. I
know that the CCP thugs are also concerned about that, so if it's
really true that the CCP is planning to build a wall along the Vietnam
border, then it would most likely be that the CCP thugs are worried
that Vietnam might support an anti-Beijing rebellion from the south.
And I have no doubt that Vietnam would.
Tensions are continuing to grow. Just today, Beijing arrested 7
pro-democracy legislators in Hong Kong on trumped up charges. This is
going to infuriate a lot of people in Guangdong. If there's a high
unemployment rate in Guangdong, because Chinese firms have fled to
Vietnam to escape US tariffs, then the possibility of an anti-Beijing
rebellion supported by Vietnam grows, and perhaps that's the real
story.
Taking this one step further, North Vietnam now loves the US, and is
an ally. So building the wall may be part of the CCP's larger war
plans.

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
The best post you have ever written on US politics, John.John,
That read like poetry, could be your magnum opus (for the forum, anyway)
I had a stroke last Sunday was hosptialized most of the week. I have some mild vision problems, but otherwise, I am fine. I am still mentally sharp. I am blessed. My mother passed last summer due to a series of strokes, so of course this was scary. Also, I am not that old. I am now on Statins and blood thinners for the rest of my life. Without prescription medication, I will die, so prepping isn't really an option for me anymore. I believe that is for the best. I have no interest in living in a world dominatedby bottom feeders.

but I offer you my best wishes for whatever outcome you desire.
I share your disillusionment. I feel like I'm a Martian visiting
earth, with absolutely no connection to the world as it's become
today.

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
Here's the thing, most voters are low information and don't know very much about who the candidates actually are. For Democrats, they only pay attention to Big News which is fully in the bag for Biden. They are voting for an illusion which has been presented to them rather than an actual person. You can blame them for not doing any research, but who would really expect the sheer amount of lies and distortion coming out of the Corporate News? It's unprecedented.Burner Prime wrote: Sat Oct 31, 2020 4:26 pm One postulate John frequently mentions is that major movements are not determined by individual leaders but by masses of people. This is clearly being demonstrated today where millions upon millions are supporting the Democrat platform, and planning to elect a leader they have almost no enthusiasm for and know is probably suffering from cognitive decline. Even his replacement, Kamala is generally despised by the left. So the leadership is less than an afterthought; the movement itself is what matters.
Whatever happens in the future is what the people wanted. They wanted to be fed pretty lies, they wanted chaos in the streets, they wanted deficits that will lead to global ruin, they wanted redistribution. You can't deny that there are swaths of people who think their path to power is only through the destruction of the current power structure and looting the remains.
