It's Not the Taliban, It's the Afghans As a Whole

Bush was an idiot to think he could create democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan.  I have no idea what Obama's goals are for the region.  I think Bush's were stupid, but altruistic.  I think Obama views our presence in Afghanistan as a means to support Islamic power and further degrade American resources, since his endgame is to bring down this nation.  The truth is that American foreign policy often harms more that helps and we are our foreign president's foreign policy.

It is not in our interests or those of the world at large to aid or spend American lives and resources in the Middle East other than Israel, or any Islamic region.  That's not to say we should ignore the evil called Islam, we need to counter it where needed, attack it where necessary, and discourage it's spread, but most important we need to stop thinking of Islamic cultures as sharing the same human values, principles, and morals as the rest of mankind.

It's my understanding that our goal in Afghanistan is to prepare the Afghans to resist the return of the Taliban to power.  The problem is that the Taliban is simply one component of a very sick and perverted culture and whichever component of this culture winds up in power will be no better than the Taliban.

The following story tells of very tragic loss of a young Marine, needlessly placed in harms' way and sent on fool's errand.

 THIS AD WAS PLACED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES
"SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant. I'm a very good girl who LOVES to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips, cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me eating out of your hand. I'll be at the front door when you get home from work, wearing only what nature gave me. Call (xxx) xxx-xxxx and ask for Annie, I'll be waiting."
 THIS AD WAS PLACED IN THE NEW YORK TIMES. Several hundred
women and a few men called. They got the New York Animal Shelter.

The Very Un-fun Roller Coaster Ride Awaiting Us

Video borrowed from 90 Miles From Tyranny


I've been advocating the accumulation of precious metals for a while and the price of said metals have gone down since I started saying to buy them so most folks don't listen to me in that regard.

I have not changed my mind.  Precious metals should not be viewed as a short-term investment, rather as insurance, like storing food and other essentials.  I've always looked at precious metals as a hedge against inflation and I think we are headed for hyper-inflation.

People I listen to say hyper-inflation is a certainty given the way the FED is mismanaging the economy and printing more money than toilet paper, but that serious deflation will precede the inflation.

You would think that if we are headed for deflation; what does that mean for the value of precious metals?  I still think they are a wise move.  Read this:


Why Precious Metals Will Rise in Deflation

A Nation of Stupid, Ignorant, Greedy Dirt Bags

The national debt is soaring, half the country is on food stamps, the trade deficient is spiraling, the health care industry is being decimated by Obamacare, inflation is soaring, the stock and bond market are balloons ready to pop.

Does anyone notice the country is on the verge of total economic collapse.  Hell no!  We want our cheap Walmart shit!

TUSCALOOSA
A would-be robber got more than he bargained for when he walked into Discount Tobacco Outlet Monday morning.

Instead of making off with a bundle of cash, the teenager was led in handcuffs from the
high-traffic Alberta City business with cuts, bruises and a felony charge. Manager Michael
McCain was working at Discount Tobacco Outlet, 2604 University Boulevard East, at 8:35 a.m. Monday, when a 19-year-old man came in and demanded money. McCain refused, and tackled the teenager as he left the store."I held him down and hit him a few times, and told him he needed to get a job," McCain said.

Police arrived and arrested Travis Jamar Johnson. He was charged with first-degree robbery.

He said that he recognized the man as a regular customer and didn't believe him once he made his intentions to rob the store known."He came up and said `This is a robbery' and told me to give him all the money in the register. I said `No, hell no, get on out of here," McCain said. "There were two cops sitting across the street. It was ridiculous."McCain realized that Johnson was serious when he pulled up his shirt to reveal a .380-caliber pistol in the waistband of his pants. Police later
determined that the gun was unloaded and stolen. McCain walked into the storage room and shut the door. From there, he could watch surveillance monitor as he called police. He watched Johnson step behind the counter briefly, and turn to leave the store as a customer walked in.That was when McCain emerged from the back room and jumped on Johnson as he walked out of the store.

"He would've just walked off, I didn't want him to get away," he said.

Tuscaloosa Police Capt. Mitt Tubbs said that McCain took a chance by taking matters into his own hands. Instead, he said robbery victims should call police and give a good description of the robber."We're equipped and trained to handle that and the average citizen is not. That's a decision they have to make - we don't recommend it, especially if someone is armed with a weapon," he said. "You can always replace property."

I have no idea what the implications are of this, but I found it interesting.
