.... The illusion of democracy in a "two-party" system when the real power is held by a few at the top. ..... The source of tyranny is irrelevant. If you want to call those who resist it "neo-nazis", your choice. It's not a partisan thing, you know? ........ well, ok, it might be to brains that suck on the MSM (not implying that you are included in the MSM brainwashed, macky).

If you want to call those who resist it "neo-nazis", your choice. It's not a partisan thing, you know? ........ well, ok, it might be to brains that suck on the MSM (not implying that you are included in the MSM brainwashed, macky). I may be confused mikey. I'm not sure where you're going with the "neo-nazi" thing. I merely referred to them as a "far-right" comparison to the "left" hatred comments of jr, which I wasn't arguing about, given his own experience with the "left". I think my comments in general on tyranny of all sorts are clear. As one whose part of his lineage is Romani, I also have no truck with any race-based, violent and hateful groups of any kind. I was born colour-blind and that remains so. Re the partisan thing as it apples to US political party affiliation, I know you are not that. You've got far more sense. But I've seen over the years what amounts to strong support for one party or the other in the US, with no quarter given either way, some of it near-fanatical. It can even get to the stage where families are divided among themselves, and that's when it gets sad. Because it means sweet F/A in the finish. And that in my opinion serves to do what any Powers-That-Be want, divide and rule, a tried and true way to gain supporters, and mark their "enemies of the people", which really means "opposition to their own little group at the top". Even dictators have their own "top" group that support them and carry out their tasks over a country. And The People fall into it over and over again, their attention almost completely diverted on "Them" and "Us", while the PTB carry on over the top of any democratic process (I've given examples, I can go into more detail if you like) while said People fight and scrap among themselves. To the outside world, the US elections are like a circus, with rousing speeches that essentially say nothing much, and happy joyous cheering and hey!, it's party time, literally. After it's all over and some other figurehead is elected, back to business as usual by the PTB, no matter whether the new prez and govt are Reb or Dem. And all the while, citizens' individual rights are slowly but surely being eroded, and the Virus and possible compulsory vaccination is the final blow to liberty, short of martial law being declared.

Macky,
You said you were from NZ which is one of the most left countries in the world. I felt that you were stating that everyone who supported Trump was a Nazi. I'm neither left or right at this point, I'm anti-establishment, or better said this way, career politicians. I'm a Ron Paul man more than anything.
And personally, I could care less what other countries, especially Europe thinks of me and my country. We'll be the first they call to help them, and the first to criticize us. So, screw the whole lot of them. Tired of my tax money going to support countries that hate us.

So, screw the whole lot of them. Tired of my tax money going to support countries that hate us. No I would never say anything like a Trump supporter is a nazi. That's simply not true. NZ in fact is a mixture of both "left" and "right". We've got our traitors here too, who outsource jobs, individual employment contracts, wages driven down by those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. And in the 90s when I was installing phone lines and telephones around the Auckland metro area I saw evidence of sweatshop labour at times. But we have a welfare system which by and large fronts up to those whose jobs have been either taken off them or simply they have come by misfortune. People are encouraged and helped to get back to work, or learn new job skills. There's always going to be a few bludgers, no matter how good things are, but most people have a good work ethic. I have emphasized before on Sierra that I am not anti-American, I am pro-family unit, wherever said family unit is in the world. With both parents having to work for money these days, drugs, crime, state intrusion on privacy for any reason they can dream up, police over-action, the family unit is under attack, and has been for several decades in our countries. The reason why I focus so much on America is because most of the members here are Americans, and NZ is one of the Five Eyes group of countries that look to America for leadership and direction. I am of the Vietnam generation, and many of my workmates and friends supported America in the Vietnam war. When I was in the naval reserves, I met many American sailors off the carriers and the coast guard cutters, and we all enjoyed some good times and each other's company. Over the decades since then I have observed the end of the golden days of the 60s and partly the 70s and watched the US become more overtly police state as time has gone on. I think it always was, but I became more aware of it after some notable events here in NZ. That has gone hand in hand with corporate power that has now influenced govt so much that it's hard to tell the difference who is in charge any more. Particularly the anomalies in the US govt official story of 9-11 which don't add up prompted me to start researching in 2009 after my wife passed away, and the more I tried to match up the "facts" as per the Official Story, the more I found that simply wasn't true. Understand I'm not talking about the towers collapses, I'm talking about how the alleged culprits were never identified, except by a concocted story i.e. Chapter 7 of the 9-11 Commission Report. I went on to research events like the TWA 800 explosion, and once again I saw how the FBI had interfered with the evidence gathering of the NTSB, and deliberately distorted the "results". Post 9-11, the Patriot Act which took away even more rights from ordinary citizens. Some of the Act was modified but those modifications were largely put back into the USA Freedom Act. So not a lot has changed, the FBI not having to get a judge's approval before gathering information about a citizen's private life right down to their brand of toothpaste. Today you have president who is clearly not well in the mind, and who moves in and out of Trumpland when he's asked normal pertinent questions. He cites conspiracy theories for which there is no evidence whatsoever, and has caused much grief through his statements in public, never mind the grief he's caused through not taking Covid 19 seriously enough and his accompanying lack of leadership in this time of crisis. I know China and the WHO share a lot of blame for what has happened, but some other countries took resolute action early and benefitted thereby, whereas the US today has a record of cases and deaths which is a national disgrace to the American leadership. It is my belief that Trump possibly does not know that by his actions and non-actions re the climbing cases and death toll, he is setting the scene for those in power behind the throne who already have curtailed even more rights by promoting the quarantining of those that are healthy, and raising the possibility of compulsory vaccination for the virus, a prelude to the enforcement of compulsory vaccination for everything the PTB can think up, including the culling of certain sections of US society they deem "undesirable" or "sub-standard". If you think that's going too far, then as I've suggested, look up MKUltra and Unethical Experiments In The US and you'll see outrageous nazi-style behaviour right there in front of you. This goes back a long way, right back to when America had academic courses on Eugenics as part of university corriculum, and actively co-operated with the German nazis pre-WW2. I also believe in those like Kissinger etc, that racial ethic still exists (as it has, and does in the British Royal family) and current connections made by neo-nazis with their like in Germany as we speak demonstrates an undercurrent in American society which seems to be becoming more public as times go on. Of course, the neo-nazis are providing the Press, while the real power is working behind the scenes, as it always has. Hence my concern over possible actions becoming law, such as compulsory vaccination where individuals' rights are nullified "for the common good" etc.

I associate "nazi" with those tyrants who are intolerant of anyone who even dares to ask questions. I've seen the same as Jr has - being extremely partisan to Rep or Dem exhibits the same attitude, IMO. They are cognitively inflexible.
EDIT: I'm not saying that cognitive inflexibility is necessarily a bad thing though. In the words of Dirty Harry, "A man's got to know his limitations."

EDIT: I'm not saying that cognitive inflexibility is necessarily a bad thing though. In the words of Dirty Harry, "A man's got to know his limitations." They are certainly that, mikey, but the fundamental difference between nazi and fascist (at least in stated intent) is the idea of white supremacy over all other races. There is a long history of organised eugenics in the United States right to the top, and there were nazis who referred back to American eugenicists as the source of their racial attitudes when they faced trial after WW2. That didn't necessarily mean that all American eugenicists were full-blown national socialists, but the idea of white supremacy was entrenched in US state politics and academics. Henry Ford regularly attacked the Jews through his newspaper (The Dearborn Independent) as an example. Cognitive inflexibility is not always a bad thing, as you say. There is such a thing as 'sticking to your guns' on various issues, but there can come a time when such inflexibility can be taken advantage of, such as the extreme example of the nazis and their inflexible belief that "they" are the superior race uber alles and the inevitable consequences of millions of deaths at the hands of a psychopath and his ilk. In the more local and less severe (usually) case of national elections, such inflexibility can ignore the good things that "they did" and the bad things "we did", and provide the civil battleground for diversion and distraction while the PTB who are above any citizen's vote carry on with "business as usual". There is absolutely no doubt that outsourcing of American and Kiwi jobs to "dollar-a-day" labour in the Far East hurts the citizens of our countries that suddenly find themselves without employment on the back of corporate power and profit. That it is govt-sanctioned is a disgrace to sovereign citizenship and a betrayal of country loyalty. That has continued over many years, whether under Republican govts, or Democrat, rendering any partisan position of party loyalty meaningless, at least on issues such as that. Others like yourself and jr are more thoughtful on the matter, but the number of crowd-ravers at party rallies demonstrate this partisanship (therefore division and diversion) only too well. It's a way that Power is held and consolidated, a tried and true method.

macky,
I'm with you on all the MKUltra stuff. I'd agree that operation paperclip surely has some leftovers floating around. As for the average citizens, its nowhere near what the media portrays as far as racial hatred. When we are left alone we all seem to get along quite well. I live in an area that is labeled as racist inbred hillbilly's. I work in a field that has many people that transfer in and out, and what they all say when they have to leave, is that they don't want to go and were lead to believe something that was not true at all.
and one thing and don't get mad at me for saying this....but your posts are way too long for my attention span! hahaha. forgive me!
also, I must admit, I belong to a very elite gang. We are all green and mean, and the Germans call us Teufelshunde. We may not get along with each other all the time, and sometimes we will beat the brakes off one another, but let an outsider do something to one of our green brothers or sisters, and just sit back and watch what happens. The greatest gang on earth, US Marine Corps!

It's just that I'm concerned for the members here who are great friends over the years, and I always try to explain why I have those concerns, and that of course goes on for an over-long time as I track back to attempted solid evidences. I am also sure that the bulk of American citizens hold no racial hatred in their hearts, but remember that whole countries have been swept up by a small secular group in the past. Those power groups almost always started as some sort of a secret group to begin with, and gradually expanded their power as time went on. That expansion was often aided by an emergency of some sort, whether imagined, jacked up, or real. Or a combination of all of those things. Your "secret group" in this case is the PTB that move without any democratic oversight or control, and which have gradually tightened control over the decades, of citizen's behaviour and attitudes, using real and imagined (and jacked up I now believe) events and situations to cause war and induce heightened revenue stream for their own agenda.

I've been talking about that sort of thing on here for years, and on other sites.
"Psychopaths and sociopaths often exhibit glibness and superficial charm, have a grandiose sense of self-worth, are pathological liars, display extreme narcissism, are deceitful, cunning and manipulative, exhibit a lack of remorse or guilt, show a callous disregard for the feelings of others, have no conscience, lack empathy, and fail to accept responsibility for their actions."
I'm not sure about the "psychopath" bit, but if the rest doesn't describe Trump to a "T" (literally) then I don't know what it would take for people to finally understand that their leader is not well in the cranium. Having to be publicly told to can it on Joe Scarborough by his own people should present to anybody that Trump's petulant behavior is unbecoming for a president.
Trump's debased the whole presidential thing by his behavior and chronic lying. How much does it take for people to wake up ?

Now, I have to disagree with you on Trump. He is nowhere as close as bad as the many others. Honestly, he is pretty much the only one I like. He is not perfect, but so much better than all the rest we've had.

Well that's fair enough. However, I don't see a comparison with anybody else as a let-off for his behaviour. I've detailed it often enough so I won't repeat it. To my mind, it stands on its own merit, or lack of.
The Covid 19 figures for the US speak for themselves, as well.

I was raised in a status town of old money & u meet guys like Trump frequently. They are a dime a dozen. Don't conflated being an abrasive asshole with being a psycho or sociopath. One of the reasons why guys with money and/or power come across as jerkoffs or dismissive is they found there are more important things in life then worrying about other people's feelings. U have to be a little strange if u desire money, fame or power. Nothing gets done if u cut yourself off at the knees worrying about what others think. Ppl like Trump's caliber didn't earn their billions by wringing their hands, being a spendthrift or braindead. Politicians on the other hand have a different mindset & fawn over their image constantly. They manipulate ppl to persuade or dominate them. I'd rather deal with someone who true to themselves then another who'll give u a rimjob if they think it will benefit them. Trump has been the same consistent asshole he's always been thru the years. Plus, he made his money before he got into politics. The same can't be said for many of his peers, predecessors & the Washington bureaucracy. Trump is not a politician or even a diplomat but then again I don't care. Can he do the job or not? Trump has been fighting entrenched interests & the class establishment since he won the November elections. The fact that ppl fret more about style over substance & ignore the documented serious seditious crimes against the Office of the Presidency is more alarming to me then Mo' Russia, the legacy media's agenda setting or the constant barrage of falsehoods spewed out that he's an utter liar, incompetent & sneaky money grubbing bastard. One only has to look at Trumps family & how his kids turned out to decipher the man's character. I want a fighter who stands for something & isn't afraid to get it. Does anyone truly worry about loving their local contractor or white collar professional? Nope! Most ppl intelligently concern themselves with if they can do the job or not. Just like real life. Politics is theatrics.

Politics is theatrics. The comparison between Trump and others "like him" and "dime a dozen" is irrelevant. Those others are not the President of the United States. Trump's indicative mental problems have long been documented and extensive. Said people with those indications have often been quite capable of dealing with everyday problems and making deals. Their underlying delusions have not interfered with said operations openly, and they have appeared as what they project themselves to be, capable and competent, and in most obvious public cases, they are.
Trump has brought unfounded and well-disproved conspiracy theories into political vogue, as has his attacks on the media, (therefore being only too worried what they are saying about him.)
As president, he should also have left behind behaving like a CEO of a company the day he was elected. Trump hasn't woken up to that yet. Instead of dealing with "others like him" he now has to take into consideration those who are NOT like him, and he doesn't recognize that fact, whether he is delusionary or not.
His chronic lying surpasses an average of 28+ per day since Covid-19, (and slightly lower pre-covid) demonstrates someone who is under certain delusions that interfere with his overall perception of the world, at times plainly obvious re some of his utterances that have no foundation in reality. That he is willing to lie so much and still be accepted is also an indication of how far civilization has strayed from plain decency and "ordinary existence". The fantasy world we all inhabit to a lesser or greater extent is an indication of how much we have forgotten others and their values, only using them as "votes", cheap labour, or cannon fodder. As prez, Trump should be taking all that in, and his election campaign indicated he was interested in the full spectrum of society he was to be leader of. That he has been proven to date only to cater for the upper elite, is manifest.
Any new boy on the block is always going to be fighting against the entrenched order. That is a given and Trump has not been exempt. That that order is corrupt is no surprise to most thinking onlookers and researchers. It's been going on for a long time.
In common terms, anybody who tells so many outright lies is never to be trusted. That can have nothing to do with politics, it's a plain simple fact. Yet many people still trust Trump to "get the job done" whether he's an arse hole or not. That he may be delusionary as well still does not impinge on them.
Presidents unfortunately have had to deal with sudden problems that have largely defined the way their names have gone down in history. Bush had to deal with 9-11. Obama had to deal with a serious recession. Trump got caught by the Corona virus plus lately an expression of serious endemic racial problems in America, where in at least 18 cities, rioting or relatively peaceful demonstrations are taking place as we speak.
Trump will go down in history for the way he dealt with those two emergencies (or perhaps more) and his lack of empathy for those important people that have either died though disease, and his unseemly remarks over the rioting will mark him as remote from the very people he sought to lead. So far, he's not doing very well in those respects.

Alot of what Trump does makes sense to me because alot of actions he has taken I have mirrored too as a boss>>>] His chronic lying surpasses an average of 28+ per day since Covid-19, (and slightly lower pre-covid) demonstrates someone who is under certain delusions that interfere with his overall perception of the world, at times plainly obvious re some of his utterances that have no foundation in reality. That he is willing to lie so much and still be accepted is also an indication of how far civilization has strayed from plain decency and "ordinary existence". [<<<Sounds exactly like Hillary Clinton & the radical socialist wing of the Democratic Party>>>] The fantasy world we all inhabit to a lesser or greater extent is an indication of how much we have forgotten others and their values, only using them as "votes", cheap labour, or cannon fodder. As prez, Trump should be taking all that in, and his election campaign indicated he was interested in the full spectrum of society he was to be leader of. That he has been proven to date only to cater for the upper elite, is manifest.[<<<This again is all specious opinion masquerading as fact. The exact opposite of what u discribed is what transpired with Hillary. HLC targeted the major populated cities & ignored the smaller states & cities. EG: the Rustbelt, Biblebelt, all the dilapidated manufacturing industrial regions. She lost the rock solid Blue States of Wisconsin, Ohio & Pennsylvania which none have voted for any republican candidate since the 1980s. 90% of D. C. & the 3 adjacent counties where the bulk of DC bureaucrats live voted Hillary. With those demographics is it any wonder Trump is labeled as a compulsive liar who contradicts accepted false narratives & dogma? Trump is an iconoclast but far from being the definition of a confirmed liar.>>>] Any new boy on the block is always going to be fighting against the entrenched order. That is a given and Trump has not been exempt. That that order is corrupt is no surprise to most thinking onlookers and researchers. It's been going on for a long time.[<<<Agreed!>>>] In common terms, anybody who tells so many outright lies is never to be trusted. That can have nothing to do with politics, it's a plain simple fact. Yet many people still trust Trump to "get the job done" whether he's an arse hole or not. That he may be delusionary as well still does not impinge on them.[<<<if u believe in the corrupt biased MSM who shills for the Democrats & their party dogma, then yes, your premise holds true>>>] Presidents unfortunately have had to deal with sudden problems that have largely defined the way their names have gone down in history. Bush had to deal with 9-11. Obama had to deal with a serious recession. Trump got caught by the Corona virus plus lately an expression of serious endemic racial problems in America, where in at least 18 cities, rioting or relatively peaceful demonstrations are taking place as we speak.[<<<You are completely rewriting history. Trump did take early action but with the caveat that he was focused on an impeachment hoax & even though the CCP virus was on the horizon it was secondary. What's forgotten factually is the press & Democrats reviled him for having the gaul to place a ban on chinese travel to the USA. It was racist. It was unwarranted. It was extreme said the MSM & partisan Democrats. The Dems said & acted contrary to all that Trump said or did about COVID-19. Then they moved the goal posts as per their playbook. So he now is a labeled a liar. Sorry to say that the majority of rioters (or protestors if u prefer) in the affected 15 states come from federal/state subsidized housing & WIC recipients. I can now hear the chorus of gasps. I have lived in the States & now live in Egypt for many years. I think I'm qualified to make comparisons. I've seen "poor" & its nothing like the United States. What I see there are spoiled pampered recipients who come to expect their standard of living as a birthright & not as a privilege. This has been going on for several generations & indicative as a way of life not temporary hard times. U want examples of poor? Visit Egypt! I've seen building superintendents living under the stairs in high end properties & owners find that completely acceptable.>>>] Trump will go down in history for the way he dealt with those two emergencies (or perhaps more) and his lack of empathy for those important people that have either died though disease, and his unseemly remarks over the rioting will mark him as remote from the very people he sought to lead. So far, he's not doing very well in those respects [<<<Trump gets a stipulated pass at worst. I am a Canuck & even I know that the USA is FEDERAL. That means various union of states are sovereign with all the same available state organs, more or less, that the Federal Government has. Why was their response times & handling not held to account for? I've always heard the argument that local government are better equipped to deal with emergencies. Furthermore, the Federal Government is supposed to wait for action until the governor makes an formal request for assistance. If it were not so then the Feds could just run rough shod & do what the hell they want. Then what's the point of living & paying taxes to a state when that happens? They are no longer states but autonomous regions then. The Swiss Cantons routinely thumb their noses towards their Federal Government all the time. The Canadian Confederation allows seccession by law. It puts a check on central power which history shows is bad>>>] [<<<My father was among the 30k Canadians who volunteered for Vietnam as a US Army tanker. He never talked much about his service but he had no regrets about his service other than the way it was mismanaged. I'm neither a war hawk or an adamant US apologist but a proud Canadian. I am, however, a firm believer in a co-operative & counter-balancing partnership with the USA which is mutually beneficial such as being the no# 1 US trading partner & a rotating NORAD command since 1958.>>>]
