-"The Chinese are good at everything but strategy. The Russians are good at nothing but strategy. The Russians know how to govern minorities. Both countries actively fighting the Chinese are armed by Russia. Russia always acts strategically."-EL

-"Iranian strategy requires mobilization of Shia minorities in other countries. When they try to land and operate they fail or degenerate into criminal enterprises. Shia militants are the limit of their power."-EL

-"Erdogan is not a Hitler, he is a Mussolini - with a paper military. One French fighter would sink the Turkish navy. ... The Israeli air force would sink the entire Turkish navy in about twelve minutes. Turkey looks big in Austria and Germany because of the football crowd."-EL

-"American military and state are professionals. The American intelligence is incompetent"-EL

(Intel hasn't recovered from Vietnam)

-"The British and French are able to fight wars. the British also have intelligence and better than US. French some. Only way Europe can be a strategic player is if the Europeans can belong to one family. They have to follow French and British leadership esp. Germany."-

-"Pakistan and india have a mature relationship but pakistan is allied with china. and this is a global issue"-

-"The dollar became a reserve currency because the USA was exporting a lot and exporting more. as long as the Americans import more then the dollar will remain a reserve currency. But will it continue? President and congress come and go but the Fed is independent and continues."-

-"So long as the USA has the fed to maintain the value of the dollar against inflation it will remain a reserve currency.And so long as investment flows to nyc then it will be maintained. Because they need dollars to buy interests in companies in american stock exchange"-

-"If in the name of equality Americans keep lowering standards the country will be ruined. and so will the economy, investment, and the dollar. Mostly Americans are failed countries other than Canada and USA, and this is what they are doing. You must be as boring as the swiss."-

All these quotes by Edward Luttwak.

Luttwak has predicted that the Middle East will be embroiled in internecine war for the next 1000 years, thanks to the 'brilliant stroke' of strategic genius, exceeding even Bismarck's, by George W. Bush when he ignited a religious war between Sunnis and Shiites

MSNBC LYING BY FALSE EQUIVALENCY

Israel 10M Ppl - 1+ Countries (israel, west bank)
UK 60M Ppl - 3 Countries (eng, wales, scotland)
USA 330M Ppl - 50 Countries (50 states) 4 time zones.

Distributing live and cold vaccines is one of the largest logistics programs in USA history.

22 companies worked on treatments, 13 testing, 12 vaccines, 3 succeeded in producing theirs in just months, with combined capital of TRILLIONS of dollars and hundreds of thousands of people. With the gov't red tape slowing them.

Only so many vaccines can be produced per week, and 660M req'd. FedEx and UPS have heroically split the country and can serve every zip code in the USA. The FAA gave their flights priority.

Of course I wear a mask, wash my hands constantly and go out sparingly. I'm older, have chronic asthma, and take care of an elderly parent on constant oxygen. I'm in the target demographic and interact with medical and elder care staff. But I don't ask OTHER people to wear masks.

Like leash laws, masks punish the Fit, Healthy, Cautious, Active and CLEAN, when it's the unfit, unhealthy, incautious, lazy, and unclean who interact, contract, and transmit the disease - at do so largely at home. These people, medical, and elder are the at-risk demographic.

However, how do we isolate people by those behaviors? Well, age, occupation, class, and race is part of it because of race differences in demographic distribution (class) and resulting behavior. But there is no way to do that.

Preventing Civil War: The Demands
(1 of 6)

Such that we may have this debate and seek to come to a compromise rather than the bloodiest, longest, most brutal civil war in human history, where tens of millions will certainly die:

(2 of 6)

... a) All Political Speech and Political Affiliation is Protected Speech, and Political Affiliation Protected class.

(3 of 6)
... b) The criminalization of all attempts at suppression of testimonial, truthful, reciprocal, empirical speech, and licensing of extrajudicial punishment to cease them.

--"What do you think made gold become money?"- Jeffrey Swann @AgoristView

1) Metal Commodity Money (money proper): scarce, non-perishable, universal signal good(luxury), consistent weight and volume, unitizable, countable, trade-markable (warrantable), ...

2) ... re-trade-markable (melt, re-stamp), standard of weight and measure -THEREFORE STATES CAN PAY SOLDIERS.

And states can construct, defend, tax, and regulate MARKETS.

And POLITIES can increase economic velocity (reduce friction) by converting agricultural goods to money.

3) Gold was valuable but not 'money'. But did not require refinement. And too expensive for use as money. So it was just a commodity. Silver required refinement. The first money was electrum. But any metal will do.

Education Reform
1. Add P-Law's Gramamars, Restore Logic(reason), Testimony, Rhetoric(persuade), and Debate(adversarialism),
2. Add P-Law's contract, tort, administrative, constitutional law, and P-Law's behavioralism
3. Add personal/family finance, basic micro/macro econ.

4. Add P-law's trifunctionalism: psychology, sociology, and politics. This is how those subjects should be taught.
5. Add P-Law's evolutionary history of man and population groups (adaptation), the evolution of civilizations, the evolution of art, the evolution of technology.

6. Science as it is taught: biology, chemistry, physics, is no longer of value. Computers are an occupational skill. Art and Literature are entertainment, not education. Civics is indoctrination into marxism-globalism-multiculturalism.

1. The European Religion: Epicureanism vs Stoicism: All classes have different degrees of agency and resulting differences in responsibility. However, all people require mindfulness within the limits of their agency and responsibility.

2. The Epicurean Program is the west's scientific and verbal analog to the Buddhist unscientific and experiential method of obtaining mindfulness, and the west's lower working and laboring class religions.

3. The stoic program is an analog of the Confucian program, of middle, upper middle and lower upper class people, have greater agency, work in business, politics, or war, and cannot insulate themselves from the struggles of doing so.
