    It is a great article C.L.

    Well worth reading.

  2. C.L. says:

    It really is.
    Exhibit A in Australia would have to be Chris “Blackout” Bowen.

    But, let’s be honest, it’s a very competitive field.

  3. NFA says:

    Too many contenders for ‘the most destructive’.

  4. NFA says:

    And I saw a note, somewhere, that their Australian PM is ‘all the way with Banzai Biden’ as he has signed us up for replacement Hercules planes.

    Delivery in 2027!

    About US$10 billion.

    Go AUKUS.

    I think I’d be buying proven effective Russian military equipment…

    Glenn Reynolds didn’t have a bad word to say about the powerful crazy elite which promotes perpetual war. I wonder why?

  7. Buccaneer says:

    An elite that claims they stand up for vulnerable people in society gets their hands on power and this – Euthanasia for poverty

    How long before they get even more assertive with their aktion?

    Maybe additionally mentioning Russia would disallow the opinion in the article to carry.
    Anyway, the self-perceived elite are in reality the dregs. Not by nature but by virtue of behaviours. Which brings me to the article’s reference of the media whose groupthink behaviour is said to ‘love big brother’. Winston would say he ‘loved big brother’ as a consequence of being human, of having had his humanity tested beyond his endurance. Not so those in the media who have devalued their humanity, spared it from any testing of or by the dregs, preferring to exist with the rest of the dregs.

    This is true and problematic for his thesis. Reynolds hasn’t segued at all from the old circa-2003 rah-rah view of the US at war.

    Maybe additionally mentioning Russia would disallow the opinion in the article to carry.

    Yep.

    I’ve saved it and will post a link to your thread C.L.

    Good find.

    The stupidest ‘elite’ in human history

    I’ve maintained this is an undeniable fact for years and what cannot last, will not.

    Societies will only be able to tolerate having these staggeringly incompetent lunatics in power for a very limited time.

    When the inevitable collapse comes, it will be very rapid indeed. I give most (if not all) western countries no longer than a decade, at their current rate of decay.

  12. NFA says:

    But it is what comes after that is of even more concern Rabz.

    That Speer link is tripe.

    Technocracy is the doctrine that Industrial progress will eventially put everyone out of work, and the solution is to invent work that employs people for the sake of it.
    See: HR departments, etc.
    It was laughed out of existence a century ago, but keeps getting reinvented, lately as the idea that persons with a technical qualification should be running a Country.’s bureaucracy.
    The reality is that N.S. Germany’s rise from the ashes of the Great war was due to it’s economic policies 1933 – ’38.

  14. Pat Mac says:

    Very poignant story that.

    Bowen is it for mine, followed right up the buttocks by krudd

    Pat

    Ed C

    Albert Speer was born on 1905.

    For something written by him to have been “laughed out of existence a century ago”, he must have been a very early developer.

    Idiot.

    Thanks for posting that excellent gem by Johnston, NFA.

    “the 200 million privately-owned firearms in the U.S. ….
    a strong deterrent to any would-be invader”

  18. NFA says:

    If that last article “chilled” you then see if this one can “warm” you up as you huddle beside your gas-less fireplace!

    Standing with Ukraine…or with Biden’s Militarism?
