Thanks for your long-time support and your contribution. I'm still
working something like 16 hours per day on my Vietnam book. It's
definitely coming along, and I see the light at the end of the tunnel
now, but it will take a couple more months anyway. It's really
amazing to me that almost everything that has been written about what
we call the "Vietnam War" is completely buried in leftist antiwar
nonsense that's completely out of touch with reality.

The rest of what you've posted is unfortunate, because it's motivating
me to respond with a lengthy rant. However, I can't write it tonight,
since I'm in the middle of a hot writing streak on my book, but maybe
sometime in the next couple of days.

Worthwhile article incorporating generational dynamics while speaking out against the Deep State that proclaims Trump is our Fourth Turning's Grey Champion of the Prophet Generation.

Donations and Book Delivery Process

Post by Navigator »

I think that some people may be hesitant to help fund the book and help out John because I have not fully explained the funding "Processes".

When you donate to the GoFundMe campaign, I get a notification that someone has donated. I do not get your email address. The only way I can contact a donor is to send them a Thank You notice from the GoFundMe site.

So when you donate, you get a "Thank You" note from me through the site with a confirmation code. I ask you to send that code to me by email.

When you send me the code by email, I send the manuscript to you as a pdf document. It can only be opened with the confirmation code.

The manuscript is watermarked with your name. This is to ensure that people aren't sending it out to everyone they know once they get a copy. Yeah, they could still do that, but eventually I will eventually see it online and the watermark will still be there, so I would know who to go after. But the people donating are not doing that, so it isn't a big worry.

I hope all the above makes people more comfortable with donating. I do keep my word and send out the manuscripts. I am keeping my word and producing the book. And I believe those that have donated feel that it is worth what they have given. PLUS, remember that John benefits from this, and it is meant to provide him with additional funds to keep going.

Gee, did I evade that question last time?

It's not clear what "side with the CCP" would even mean. We can
assume that Thailand will be pro-CCP based on the current government,
but we know that governments end, and that the course of great events
is determined not by the politicians, but by the generations of
people, the populations. So based on the fact that 3/4 of the
population are the Thai-Thai indigenous red shirt majority, I would
expect that Thailand would resist getting into fights on China's
behalf, especially since Thailand is currently not in a generational
Crisis era, but in a generational Unraveling era, when wars are
resisted.

So, first of all, Thailand will try to stay neutral. If they're
successful in that, then they'll stay out of the war entirely, just as
Switzerland did in WW II.

However, if Thailand is forced into war, it will most likely be with
its traditional enemies -- Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, and perhaps
Burma. In those cases, it's not clear which side China will be on, or
whether China will even care, given its wars with Japan and Taiwan.

Xi Jinping has vowed to recover all of China's sacred historical
territory (just like Hitler wanted Austria and Poland), and that may
result in Chinese troops fighting with or against Thai troops,
depending on whose territory China is trying to illegally annex.

So I guess what I'm saying is that I really don't know, and that it
depends on how events unfold. In the case of countries like Russia
and Iran, there are centuries of historic trends to look at, but you
don't have anything like that in the Southeast Asian countries, which
are a jumble of Chinese, Indian and Muslim influences that have been
pasteurized and homogenized in different countries to produce
indigenous fault lines that are years or decades old, but not
centuries or millennia old, and could change very quickly, if the
country faces an existential threat.
I'll take that answer. :)

No, that's wrong.

The violence in Philadelphia was initiated by a madman carrying a
sharp knife and attacking two policemen. That's your lie #1.

There's no evidence that the two policemen were "red racist violent
police." Just because you claim something doesn't make it true. You
can't just make up facts willy-nilly to suit your purpose. That's
your lie #2.

The Proud Boys instigating violence is not actual violence (though if
it was violence then I condemn it and I condemn the proud boys
completely), and it certainly does not justify the massive antifa-blm
violence in Portland and other cities run by Democratic mayors. The
massive antifa-blm violence has nothing to do with the Proud Boys.
That's your lie #3.

Your photo op story bears only marginal relationship to reality.
That's your lie #4.

And the violence will not stop under any circumstances, because
antifa-blm is committed to violence. That's your lie #5.
Bob Butler 54 wrote: > The violence will not stop until the red extremists stop

Now that's a very interesting statement, and totally delusional
to the point of insanity, but I finally understand what's going
on.

There has been massive antifa-blm fascist violence in cities across
the country but you refuse to condemn this massive violence or
antifa-blm. Why? Because you have this delusional belief that the
violence was instigated by Proud Boys or Trump or whoever.

In other words, you don't even believe in left-wing violence. And if
there is any fascist violence by left-wingers, then it's not left-wing
violence at all!!!! It's right-wing violence!!! Truly incredible, and
completely delusional to the point of insanity.

As I try to figure out what's going on, my mind turns to what I think
of as the "Democrat culture" or the "Democrat mind."

What's the Democrat culture all about? Well, I look at history.
You're obviously totally imbued in the Democrat culture, so if you had
lived a century ago, you probably would have belonged to the KKK, and
you would have been cheering violence against blacks, because that's
what Democrats did a century ago. I can imagine you saying, "Yaaaa!
Lynch another black boy!! Yaaah! Rape another black girl!
Yaaahhhhh!! Beat the crap out of another black man!" That's what you
would be saying, because you're a Democrat imbued in the Democrat
culture, and that's what Democrats were saying a century ago.

And here's the kicker: As a Democrat, you wouldn't even consider that
violence against blacks to be violence. In your mind, it would be the
fault of some Civil War general or some Republican politician, because
they had instigated it. So even though, as an obedient Democrat, you
would be cheering lynchings, rapes and murder of blacks, in your
delusional mind, those would be Republican violence, not Democrat
violence, because the Republicans instigated it.

So, for example, if you raped and murdered a girl, it wouldn't be your
fault, because Trump instigated it!!!

So coming back to today, we have massive antifa-blm fascist violence
across the country, targeting 63 million Tea Partiers and
Trump supporters, and it's exactly the same as Democrat violence
targeting blacks a century ago, and the same delusional excuses
are being used -- it's not violence by Democrats, it's violence
by Republicans. That's the Democrat culture. Amazing!

Not suprisingly, you're completely missing the point, and probably
doing so purposely.

Fine. The conspiracy was violence. Whether it was violence makes no
difference to the point being made. Violence or no violence, I
condemn it completely, and I condemn the Wolverine Watchman
organization completely (and incidentally so did Trump), and I would
be happy to see the entire Wolverine Watchman organization put into
jail. Go for it!

The point is that you won't say the same thing about antifa-blm
violence. To you, fascist violence by antifa-blm is GOOD violence
because it targets your hated 63 million tea partiers and
Trump supporters. As I described in my previous post, a century
ago, you would think that KKK violence was GOOD violence, because
it would target the hated blacks who had escaped slavery thanks
to the hated Republicans. That's the Democrat culture, and it's
exactly the same today as it was a century ago.

I don't understand why blacks support Democrats, since if the
Democrats had their way, then blacks would still be picking cotton for
their white massas.

And while we're at it, since you keep talking about the Nazis, the
fascist antifa-blm violence going on today is exactly the same as the
Nazi's Kristallnacht violence. And just as you blame the massive
antifa-blm violence on so-called "right-wing extremists" like
Wolverine Watchman, the Nazis blamed Kristallnacht on the Jews.

In fact, it's very hard not to feel that the Nazis have taken over
completely in the United States. You don't know anything about this,
because you're being purposely kept in the dark so that you won't get
confused, but in the last 2-3 weeks there has been a massive flood of
evidence that Hunter Biden and Joe Biden are criminally guilty of
influence peddling, money laundering, extortion, and other crimes, and
people are coming out of the woodwork to confirm it. This is now
fact, but the facts have been completely suppressed by the mainstream
media to make sure that you don't know about it. Twitter has been
obediently cooperating by shutting down any twitter account that dares
to even post links to the truth. Thus, twitter has shut down the
NYPost account, several administration accounts, several twitter
accounts of conservatives, and so forth -- all to make sure that
you're kept completely stupid, happy and obedient, and to preserve
"plausible deniability" by the Bidens.

So you must be in hog heaven. The criminal Biden family is about to
take over the presidency, and the Nazis are controlling the media, and
burning down businesses owned by the hated tea partiers. The
Democrats LOVE that kind of stuff, whether it's the KKK, antifa-blm,
or the NY Times. They're all the same.

By the way, for anyone reading this who'd like to have some idea of
what's actually going on in the world, watch the Fox News evening
lineup, especially Tucker Carlson and Hannity. For the rest of you,
just watch CNN and stay dumb, stupid and happy.

I am currently reading Ivan Bunin's "Cursed Days" and the parallels to today are disturbing. The main point of Bunin is that 100,000 Bolsheviks were able to take over Russia because almost everyone gave in meekly, eventhough many could see that the Bolsheviks were no good.

I think Bunin's description of the Bolshevik leadership was quite telling:

1) Lenin and the rest were stunned that they could a actually take over Russia with so few people.

2) The Bolshevik rank leaders were life's losers. Bunin had known some of them for decades and was stunned such empty headed losers had been given positions of power.

I hope Americans destroy the left before they suffer the fate of the Russians in 1917 Revolution.

You have been warned.

** 30-Oct-2020 World View: Antifa-blm fascist violence

I vaguely remember that when I first heard about antifa it was about
protests, mostly peaceful but with threats of violence, targeting
conservative speakers on college campuses. Antifa calls itself
"anti-fascist," but conservative speakers on college campuses are not
fascists. It was antifa that was fascist because they were shutting
down free speech, which is one of the main things that fascists do.

It was clear to me that antifa was calling itself anti-fascist in
order to fool people into ignoring the fact that they were the
fascists. That's when I decided to call antifa a fascist
organization.

This became more and more apparent as they became more and more
violent.

As for blm, I can no longer distinguish them from antifa. Maybe
there's a difference, but they all look the same to me, looting,
burning down cities, shooting policemen, and so forth. So, for the
time being, I've simplified my life by referring to antifa-blm as an
organization involved in fascist violence. Maybe I'll see a
difference later, but right now, they're the same.

And right now, stores are being boarded up in cities across the
country. There are a lot of people predicting that there will be a
lot more antifa-blm fascist violence next week after the election, no
matter who wins.

John, Liberals seem to have been systematically brainwashed into strict obedience to group thought. These are my neighbors and family and they're beyond any part possibility of rational thought. It seems a lot like cult behavior. Is this a natural degradation of a system of thinking gone awry or are they being manipulated?

We can clearly see the world how it really is and the probable train wreck we're heading for, yet can't do much to prevent it. I guess that's real tragedy. Only thing I can add is my astonishment at the absurd ridiculous campaign Biden is running, his incoherence, hiding on his down days, campaigning on his up days, the total lack of enthusiasm in rallies when compared to Trump.
But none of that matters because so many have already decided they hate Trump after 4 years of continuous media barrages of fake news, lies and distortions. So many will vote for him, fully knowing Biden is likely suffering dementia, as long as the hated Trump is removed. Then finally they can get their revenge and more free stuff.
It's really hard to predict the election outcome because I have to suspend my common sense and observations, and take into account the influence media has on half the population.
One thing I can predict is that if Biden wins, the media will conclude that they have near total control over the world population.
