Posted 6 Jun 2020 by ![]() Post: [quote]... and on to Obama's 'You didn't build that'.......'Fact check. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_didn%27t_build_that DIRECT QUOTE from the text of the speech..... "If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen." Specifically calls out 'your business'. It's the same type of 'context manipulation' the media does DAILY to President Trump. |

Posted 6 Jun 2020 by ![]() Post: Reuters Apparently the Communist Chinese Government has stolen another thing from the US. This time from the Radical Left. "When you have no counter argument in a debate, accuse your opponent of racism." China has also stopped purchases of Beef and Barley from Australia in retaliation for widespread calls for an investigation into the origins and concealment of information relating to the Covid-19 pandemic. |

Posted 6 Jun 2020 by ![]() Post: ...from the referenced url........ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-52937153 The results showed 25.7% of people taking hydroxychloroquine had died after 28 days. This compared with 23.5% who were given standard hospital treatment. Apples to oranges? Again, veracity and efficacy need to be examined. How many of the treated in both groups had co-morbidity and to what extent? And were the co-morbidities present to the same degree in both groups. At what stage of illness during treatment was the hydroxychloroquine regime started? What other drugs were used in concert with the hydroxychloroquine ? Were these other drugs also used in the control group? Too many variables to obtain a comprehensive all inclusive answer. |

Posted 6 Jun 2020 by ![]() Post: The concept of "Newspeak" described therein strongly reminds of Donald Trump's way of communication. The concept of 'Newspeak' has long been a part of American politics, from Roosevelts 'New Deal' through the lies told about Viet Nam and the dominoes, and on to Obama's 'You didn't build that'....... All sides coin words, phrases and lies to support their agenda du' jour. Unfortunately the 'educational' system in America doesn't teach the value of sifting statements for the grains of truth and the chaff of lies they contain. That system has been turning out little automatons of uniform thought much as did the system of Mao. Their mantra is 'Don't doubt, believe.' |

The statement regarding 'scientific integrity' is also VERY telling... Politicization of a Health Emergency is not helpful.......... The most important consequence of this false publication was the stoppage of the WHO enrollment of thousands of patients in a comprehensive study which (reportedly) has now resumed. |

Posted 6 Jun 2020 by ![]() Post: James Madison wrote in Federalist 46 the reasoning behind the 2nd Amendment. It also supplies great insight into what is ACTUALLY occurring today in the streets of America under the false flag of a heinous murder and very eloquently sums it up in the final paragraph.... https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/fed46.asp "Let us not insult the free and gallant citizens of America with the suspicion, that they would be less able to defend the rights of which they would be in actual possession, than the debased subjects of arbitrary power would be to rescue theirs from the hands of their oppressors. Let us rather no longer insult them with the supposition that they can ever reduce themselves to the necessity of making the experiment, by a blind and tame submission to the long train of insidious measures which must precede and produce it. The argument under the present head may be put into a very concise form, which appears altogether conclusive. Either the mode in which the federal government is to be constructed will render it sufficiently dependent on the people, or it will not. On the first supposition, it will be restrained by that dependence from forming schemes obnoxious to their constituents. On the other supposition, it will not possess the confidence of the people, and its schemes of usurpation will be easily defeated by the State governments, who will be supported by the people. On summing up the considerations stated in this and the last paper, they seem to amount to the most convincing evidence, that the powers proposed to be lodged in the federal government are as little formidable to those reserved to the individual States, as they are indispensably necessary to accomplish the purposes of the Union; and that all those alarms which have been sounded, of a meditated and consequential annihilation of the State governments, must, on the most favorable interpretation, be ascribed to the chimerical fears of the authors of them. George Floyd deserves justice, and EACH case of abuse of authority should be confronted and corrected immediately and firmly. Riots and Looting are not constructive nor are they conducive to changing the thought processes of those opposed to the demonstrations. “Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones. Violence is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding: it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers." -Dr Martin Luther King Jr |

Posted 6 Jun 2020 by ![]() Post: No. I hear no bells. Magna Carta was written in 1215. The Great Reform Bill in 1832 and the Parliament Act was written in 1911. Meaning that the British constitution has been revised over the years. However the British constitution is still based on an unwritten constitution, which means that it is not codified in a uniform document. "Not CODIFIED in a uniform document..........." So, a handshake and a wink........is the basis for an entire society to build their world? That sounds suspiciously like the same deal PRC gave Hong Kong.....and we see what happens when the dragon tires of sleeping with the lamb......dinner. As was pointed out, the US Constitution has had no less than 27 Amendments, clarifying some parts and removing others (slavery, 13th Amendment). So saying there has been no changes since it was written is not the case. And those who say the founders meant something different in their wording (2nd Amendment most prominently), have never read the Federalist Papers which explain in detail those thoughts as they are written by the same authors as the Constitution. The Great Reform Bill and the Parliament Act are both century old documents themselves so to believe they are true reflections of modern thought should be as invalid as their same belief of the US Constitution. And I agree with Mr McDuck.......... |

Posted 6 Jun 2020 by ![]() Post: LOL, but the USA still rely on an outdated piece of paper.As far as the allure and influence of Europe on American thought, my feelings are my ancestors left Europe in 1620 for very good reason and I see no good reason not to follow their example by maintaining separation, physically and philosophically.So you still think the European countries have the same mindset today as in 1620? Hehe:) Magna Carta ring a bell? |

Posted 6 Jun 2020 by ![]() Post: And a military who primary allegiance is to our Constitution and following the order's of a President are secondary to our Constitution when taking the oath. With all orders by their superiors must be legal and constitutional. The Congress abdicated it's authority AND responsibility to declare war when they made that appropriation in 1950. And they have failed to take responsibility for ANY of their actions in the 70 years since. They tried to partially correct the practice in 1973 with the 'War Powers Resolution' but that has been largely ignored or 'worked around'. One of the 'work arounds' is forming a coalition with many other nations when embarking on military action which is what happened with Gulf Wars I and II not to mention Afghanistan. As far as the allure and influence of Europe on American thought, my feelings are my ancestors left Europe in 1620 for very good reason and I see no good reason not to follow their example by maintaining separation, physically and philosophically. |
