THE TAKE DOWN

Hypothetically if the following events etc took place what conclusion would a rational person make with result to their collective impact on the nation where they occurred?

If a government refused to make its borders absolutely secure...

If its general policy regarding illegal aliens was a pathway to amnesty and citizenship...

If it sold illegal guns to drug cartels in another country which were then used to kill innocents in both countries...

If it fought two hard wars against terrorists and then walked away leaving the defeated enemy to return and the blood and treasure sacrifice of their military to be for nothing...

If it drew a red line publically to make a foreign government from stop killing it's citizens and when they didn't ... there was no action taken...

If it signed a treaty claiming that it stopped a foreign government that sponsored terrorism from obtaining nuclear weapons and  then it disclosed later that the treaty did no such thing...

If it allowed an ally to be overthrown and a terrorist friendly government that was not a friend to be put in its place...

If it pressured and threatened the only democratic ally in a volatile region  to make suicidal concessions that would  create an existential threat for them...

If it refused to acknowledge that former global enemies were rearming and once again making threatening statements and actions...

If it had longstanding mutual defense treaties or agreements to protect the borders of friendly nations and did nothing when when these countries were threatened or invaded.....

If it refused to provide security for a critical consulate which then was attacked by terrorists with a loss of life and no one was caught and punished as it  lied about who did it and what caused it...

If it was confronted by enemy states with WMDs who were rearming  and terrorist networks trying to obtain WMDs who were growing and it deliberately slashed it's military capacity to defend the nation while making it vulnerable to attack from either or both..

HISTORY AND FANTASY: The Road To Ragnarök

"As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return! "

THE GODS OF THE COPYBOOK HEADINGS

RUDYARD KIPLING 1919

All of a sudden, as if it were 1854  and the "Great Game" was  again afoot ...  we find ourselves thrust back into the Crimea where Russia once more ...ad nauseam... acts the bully while playacting the savior.  History once again comes back to bite us on the ass because we still don't get  that human nature as chronicled by history, is replete with nasty and horrendous people.

During the last 14 years we have witnessed the return of an Islamic Jihad bent on world conquest, something which seemed to have died a slow and strangulating death between the siege of Vienna and the demise of the Ottoman Caliphate.  It was as if humankind was exhausted by  a thousand years of fighting over God and decided to take a time out which we then foolishly believed to be the end of something instead of a mere intermission.

The contest between Russia and the west which culminated in the rise and fall of the Soviet empire, we also believed to be a relic of the past.  When the wall in Berlin came down and the "evil" empire with its socialist underpinnings disintegrated into independent nations, some historians proclaimed it to be the "End of History". 

China, a four thousand year old civilization without peer,  began a rapid decline in the 18th and 19th centuries fueled by opium which addicted the masses and destroyed the "Middle Kingdom" all to the benefit of those who brought it to the Chinese people. The internal response to this national disgrace led directly to the the People's Republic, and the end of any semblance of democracy and now  that government's  clear intent to regain its preeminent and predominate position in the affairs of mankind without regard to liberty and justice and  particularly at the expense of the United States.

A phoney war on women...

2014

The year of action has begun.  The pen and phone offensive promised by Barack Obama is in full swing by the cast of White House characters  who see problems, self created or otherwise, as opportunities for committing political homicide upon their enemies rather than obligations to find solutions for the people.

Weeks ago, it was predicted that the White House would act aggressively to change the national conversation now dominated by the economy, joblessness and "ObamaCare".

So far we have the following issues before us...all designed to to divert our attention away from the economic, military, constitutional and cultural disintegration of the nation.

The FCC attempt to monitor news organizations...

Raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour...

The decimation of our military capabilities via the 2014  Defense budget...

The declaration by AG Holder,  that states Attorneys General should seriously consider not enforcing anti same sex marriage laws passed in their states...

The continued reluctance of the President to approve the XL Pipeline...

The continued aggressive efforts of the EPA to shut down the coal industry...

The overarching goal of the Administration to legislate the elimination of income inequality...

The use of the theory of "Disparate Impact"  to justify almost every radical action the Administration decides to take...

The continuous efforts to fast track  pathways to citizenship for people illegally in the country...

The effort to establish "Universal Pre-K" nation wide...

All people with Obamacare horror stories are liars...
