I recently returned from a twelve-day cruise to celebrate my wife’s seventieth birthday. I usually spend much of my cruise time in the ship’s bar instructing the bartender how to make a proper James Bond gin martini “shaken not stirred,” a successful endeavor which has transformed the alcohol culture on a number of vessels. Less fruitful, however, have been my efforts to teach the waitstaff to sing “The Whiffenpoof Song.” But be that as it may, this particular cruise came at a time when Super Tuesday primaries were taking place in the US as well as the State of the Union Address. In Europe the war in Ukraine appeared to entering a new phase with France threatening to send its poilus to fight Russians and Germans contemplating the use of long-range missiles against Moscow. Meanwhile in the Middle East the Gazans continue to be slaughtered by the Izzies, who are America’s perpetual best friend. Joe Biden, who is arming Benjamin Netanyahu, is perversely planning to build an artificial “humanitarian” food and supplies delivering “floating harbor” attached to a pier offshore of Gaza that will be finished and ready for use in two months after the last Palestinian has died from starvation or disease. And, by the way, it will be constructed by US military personnel who will no doubt be targeted and killed by the Israelis using American supplied bombs as a case of “mistaken identity,” just as they murdered those 34 sailors and crew on board the USS Liberty back in 1967.

All of this seemingly uncoordinated activity generates a bit of confusion, while voters far and wide are wondering if their government leaders are all on Chinese produced fentanyl. That said, a cruise ship is a wonderful place to experience unedited what people are thinking. Present are Americans and foreigners from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds who are easy to meet with casually if one takes advantage of the multiple largely unstructured dining, drinking and entertainment experiences available on shipboard as well as the mingling during excursions on land.

A retired Italian engineer from Udine with whom I was drinking an ombra prosecco explained how he was feeling intense disagio, translated as uncertainty or unease, over the state of the world and not just his own country, pointing to the terrible electoral choice coming up in the US in November as well as the tottering regimes and struggling economies in Britain, Germany, France, the Netherlands and throughout Scandinavia. Meanwhile all the politicians can talk about is more wars and the necessity of supporting clowns like Volodymyr Zelenksy and murderous thugs like the Israelis. There is increasingly no place to escape to.

Among the Americans, whom I assessed as predominantly well-off blue collar retired, many of whom haling from the Midwest or South, I did not spot a single MAGA hat or Biden-Harris t-shirt but did find that most people intended to vote even though they were completely fed up with the entire political process. Neither Trump nor Biden excited them in any way – nor did any of the non-major party hopefuls like RFK Jr. On the contrary, it seemed to most that the political class was out to punish the American people, a view that I heartily agreed with. Several Americans observed that if the current process whereby the US continues to go to war continues, the draft would inevitably be activated to fill the understrength ranks of the military, putting our children and grandchildren at risk. One woman commented that if there were a button that one could push in the voting booth that would get rid of all existing politicians she would push it. It reminded me of the William Buckley comment that “I would rather be governed by the first 2,000 people in the telephone directory than by the Harvard University faculty.” A wit subsequently quipped that the country might as a consequence well be run by several iterations of “Anthony A. Aardvark.”

The cruise also had a downside consisting of a glimpse of where corporate cruise-dom lines up on some international issues, which I only discovered subsequent to boarding. The ship we sailed on, part of the Holland-America fleet, would hold events on board in its shops sponsored by sellers of various goods and services. Nevertheless, given a genocide that is clearly taking place in a place called Gaza together with a right-wing government in place in Israel that has openly advocates for an Israel “cleansed” of Arabs that will be will be both de facto and de jure Jews only, I was surprised to see such a tone deaf event sponsored by the ship entitled “The Colors of Israel Exhibition and Sale.” My wife and I, who strongly support BDS (“boycott, divestment and sanctions”) when it comes to the Jewish state decided that a little intervention was definitely in order so we made up two posters that read “Boycott the Genociders” and we wandered down to the place where the event was to take place and took up position flanking the entrance. Two Israeli young males were nearby giving us furtive looks as they were starting to unpack whatever it was they were intending to sell. We threatened no one but almost immediately two ship’s crewmen dressed in uniforms I had not seen before on board appeared to tell us that they were security and that any political advertising or harassment of vendors was strictly prohibited. They then took our posters away “for destruction.” I observed to them that I was wearing a USS Liberty remembrance shirt, which most definitely had to be considered a political statement, and I politely asked if I should remove it. The two conferred for a while and agreed that I could keep my shirt on as long as I didn’t use it to threaten or intimidate anyone.

Later that afternoon we heard several times the ship public address system promote the presence of the Israelis and their wares, something that it normally did not do for individual vendors and which I found very strange. And there was more, two days later, when the ship sponsored a walk around the deck to raise money to send to support Ukrainian refugees, which was, of course, itself a political statement over the nature of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Those who contributed $25 and would do the walk would get a free t-shirt indicating in large white on black letters that they had done the charity deed.

When I saw the announcement of the walk on the day before it was to take place, I contacted ship management requesting an interview regarding what was being done, observing that relatively few Ukrainian civilians had been killed and most refugees from that country were displaced voluntarily, with many being helped by foreign refugee assistance agencies and even governments. By way of contrast tens of thousands of Gazans, mostly women and children, have been killed already in what was clearly a genocide and others were unable to escape their death trap ringed in as they are by the Israeli military. I sought inclusion of some mention of the suffering of the Palestinian children in the walk, making it more truly a tribute to innocent victims in both theaters of conflict.

I received no reply from the ship management and the walk proceeded as planned only including Ukraine with several hundred walkers participating. I later learned that Jewish organizations have been particularly active in assisting Ukrainian Jews who are seeking refugee status or other repatriation, and began to wonder what was up. Mentioning my concerns to a friend who was knowledgeable of the cruise ship industry I subsequently was informed that Holland-America operates ships named after Dutch cities and built in Venice that operate under the Netherlands flag for tax avoidance reasons even though its operational hubs are in Los Angeles and Seattle and most of its customers are Americans. It is actually physically owned by the larger Carnival Corporation, founded in 1972, which, between 1989 and 1999, acquired Holland-America, Windstar Cruises, Westours, Seabourn Cruise Line, Costa Cruises and Cunard Line. Carnival is now by far the largest cruise conglomerate in the world. It was founded by Israeli Ted Arison, now deceased, who was replaced by Mickey Arison, his Israeli born son, who now runs the company as its Chairman and CEO. Arison is also the owner of the NBA’s Miami Heat professional basketball team. He lives most of the year in Florida and owns two 200 foot yachts which he also uses as homes!

So, our cruise became something of an interesting experience with a disappointing ending as one must wonder where the money raised for a charity actually wound up! One thing for sure, we will be boycotting Mickey Arison’s Carnival fleet in the future. At a certain point, even as a relatively knowledgeable consumer, one gets tired of being bought and manipulated.

    first off, well done with your on board advocacy. wish more americans cared enough to do so

    second; i think you may be starting to realize that bds goes nowhere when you will be literally boycotting everything. jewish nepotism is real and it is everywhere. we cant avoid it. try not watching a hollywood film with no jew involvement. try banking with a bank with no jew in upper echelons of power. industry? media? you name it. its deliberate and criminal

    i ask you to look into how/where mr Arison got the money for his venture.

    i ask you to look into how suddenly dozens of jewish hedge fund managers went from millionaire to billionaire in the course of two weeks in sept 2001.

    the sec and fbi know. but for some reason, its classified and all the evidence destroyed.

    if you have the contacts (and they are still alive) i think you should research and write an article about john oneill, former head of fbi counter terror/intel whos team shared office space with cia in building 7. he was killed that day along with his whole team and the culmination of a decades work following foreign intel agents around greater NYC. the media said he died a hero in the basement of wtc trying to help people, but thats not how he died in reality. he was murdered in cold blood by people he was not allowed to arrest

    such is the state of the cuntry we live.

    The “Floating Harbor” that Biden is building off the coast of Gaza has nothing to do with feeding starving Gazans. It’s purpose is to quickly load any surviving Palestinians for relocation to Western Nations.

    Israel has ordered America to remove the people of Gaza, and Biden will follow those orders.

    In my opinion, all the Palestinians should be settled in Western Ukraine, which will keep the Jews from grabbing it. Ukraine was to be the “New Green Israel”, but it looks like Putin has thwarted that Jewish plan.

    the red heifers will be three years old in april and ready for sacrifice, after they are done sacrificing all the “amalek” palestinians, they plan to destroy the al aqsa mosque, to prepare the temple mount for their third temple. these “people” are not operating under normal human consciousness and live in a bizzaro fantasyland. immho they are completely insane.

  8. No revolution, the attempt at a revolution can be extinguished with money. That is why at any moment the checks begin in the style of Drunken Bush and also with many credits with unbacked money that with the magical clean slate have turned finances into something wonderful.

    Those in power will use the money to their advantage and those who come after them will deal as best they can with the consequences is the norm that accumulates. Kick the can down the road they say.

    Let’s remember those fantastic times when people said: they will take your house and your car, but everything else will be paid for by the wizards at the Federal Reserve.

    We can sustain ourselves relatively easily from farms and land in the “flyover country” and organize ourselves financially without funny money.

    We don’t even have to switch tracks all at once, this can be done slowly over time.

    Ukraine was to be the “New Green Israel”, but it looks like Putin has thwarted that Jewish plan.

    Putin is a halachic Jew.* I wish he were a simple Russian nationalist, but he’s not. The Jew loyalty screws up all sorts of policies. Any Russian leader aware of the facts presented by Solzhenitsyn’s Two Hundred Years Together would think it positive that Russia is rid of two million Jews that have emigrated to Israel. Not Putin. He wants them back. Says they are welcome. Ukraine emptied of half its population and more than half its young males will suit them well.

    It’s not a coincidence that Slav has killed Slav to prepare Khazaria for Jews once again, under the leadership of two Jews, Putin and Zelensky, the first head of a country that is 0.1% Jewish and the second of one 0.2%.

  21. @sarz

    I think your analysis is off. The war has not gone to plan for Russia. Putin is more of a Diet Nationalist, like Diet Coke compared to the original. Putin doesn’t relish in the slaughter. He didn’t level Kiev like the US leveled Kabul and Baghdad before. Moreover, the Russian military hasn’t engaged in massive wave attacks like the Red Army before. Lastly, the Russian military has accepted the surrender of numerous Ukrainian troops, some taking up the fight with Mother Russia against the pederast Zelensky in Kiev. The Kremlin clearly is aware of the demographic crisis facing Russia and really the rest of the world. Putin isn’t necessarily the hero we deserve, but he’s what we got. I wish Putin and Russia all the best. Слава героям России! With love from America 🇺🇲❤️🇷🇺💪☦️Z

    One thing for sure, we will be boycotting Mickey Arison’s Carnival fleet in the future.

    No excuses for a very bad choice of cruise experience allowed, because I had explicitly warned about this circumstance nearly five years ago (April 2, 2019 at 11:09 am GMT) in response to your essay Jewish Power Rolls Over Washington.

    I wrote the following:

    • Refrain from going on a cruise with any of the following lines, in which Israeli moguls have a controlling or very large stake:

    Carnival (including AIDA, Princess Cruises, Costa Cruises, P&O Cruises, Cunard, Holland America Line, Fathom)

    Royal Caribbean (including Celebrity Cruises, Azamara Cruises)

    These top two cruise organizations have over 70% of the global passenger market share and nearly 60% market share based on revenue.

    Besides, an Adriatic cruise, even in the cold winter, would be culturally more rewarding than an excursion in the warmer Caribbean, likely filled with obese “blue-collar” Americans, because of the cities and historical sites one could re-visit while docking on land: Venice, Trieste, Ravenna, Split, Dubrovnik, Zadar, Pula.

    This is a reply to brostoevsky @ 22. Sorry I forgot to click Reply.

    Thanks for your observation. It needs saying. Diet Coke is a good analogy. It has the neurotoxin aspartame. Putin’s (and Russia’s) multi-national ‘nationalism’ would be perfect if no Jews existed. I see you take your moniker from Dostoevsky so you must know about the Jewish problem. Putin is indeed half-Slav and doubtless he loves Slavs. But he loves Jews more, and he finds that that half of him does a lot more for his benefit.

    It’s no coincidence that many of the Jew oligarchs were rudely done away with, cf Khodorkovsky. Those were the Rothschild Jews. The famous lecture of 1994 by ‘Moshiach’ Rabbi Menachem Schneerson of Chabad for the Jewish conquest of Russia, was prior to the split between Israel-first and finance-first Jewry. Now a new Jewish order has emerged that I call neo-Chabad. It is less deferential to Rothschild and more pluralistic. The formula is Jews, mainly crypto, at the head of non-Jew nations.

    The main archetypes are Trump and Putin, both with deep Chabad links. Putin’s genuine Russian nationalism will always come with a Zionist burden. It’s tough to combine nationalism with satanism. But there you have it.

    ‘Biden’s Wharf’ is a profile in cowardice. Either or both of America’s client states, Israel and Egypt, could be compelled to open up the Gaza border and admit aid — or their allowance gets cut off.

    Instead, cucked America, like a parent abjectly surrendering to two feral children, embarks on a costly, elaborate workaround to Israel’s obstructionism.

    World’s only superpower? The mountains labored, and brought forth a ridiculous mouse. Any peon can wade across the Rio Grande and collect an air ticket, a five-year work visa, and a $10,000 gift card.

  44. When I learned who owned Carnival Cruise Lines, I stopped cruising on any of their ships and haven’t been back for 30 years or more. I’m not missing anything, compared to 30 years ago, despite the large ships that look like tacky modern office buildings, most things have gone down hill.

  45. Revolutions are almost always managed or infiltrated.
    For example, March 6 was the anniversary of the Battle Of The Alamo, an event written as a heroic stand which was actually a nasty betrayal by Sam Houston.

    You see, he was sent by President Andrew Jackson to take over leadership and deliver Texas to the US, which he ultimately did. Problem was a percentage of Texas was populated by people who fled the US for various reasons to escape debts and other legal entanglements, chief among them were Colonels William Travis and Jim Bowie.

    In order to eliminate these rivals Houston posted them at the Alamo church in San Antonio while he moved the larger army east towards Louisiana where Andrew Jackson had “discharged” Union soldiers waiting to assist in the final battle to take place at the mouth of the San Jacinto river.

    The Mexican Army, led by General Santa Anna, eliminated these leaders who would have fought tooth and nail to stop Texas from ascending into the United States.

    After the final battle at San Jacinto Sam Houston allowed General Santa Anna to keep his life, an act which was met with anger by ordinary soldiers wishing revenge for the slaughter in San Antonio.

    Andrew Jackson, Sam Houston, and Santa Anna had one thing in common. They were all high ranking Freemasons.

    Countries all over the world are emptying their prisons and loony bins and sending the residents to the land of milk and honey. Its a business decision but getting rid of the trash along with revenge are also part of the ingredients.

    I mean, as the leader of a shit hole, you ask your prisons Director how much it costs to house one of his guests per year and he tells you $15,000 US. WTF, you wax, as you sip your Dom Perignon, if we gave the inmate $8K, a map and a compass we could save a lot of money. We could “downsize” LOL.

    In addition they get rid of scum and fuck up the West who are always barking about human rights and saving democracy. Wait a second, this is what Castro did when Jimmy C brayed day in and day out about the evils of Havana. Fidel, to show he was all for democracy took a giant shit on the US . Florida, to the delight of the Maximum Leader, became a war zone full of desperadoes with nothing to lose. I mean, anyone who survives a Latin American or Caribbean jail looks at American prisons as, well, a kind of stationery cruise ship !

    Which reminds me, my wife wants to go on a cruise but as I told her, why pay to be confined on a ship with all the people you want to escape. Its like being on a Riker Island barge but this one sails around with who knows who on board. My Bro went on one of these journeys only to be caught in a Chimp out on board ! At least on Riker’s you know who the miscreants and cretins are.

    I’ll stay home and talk to myself rather than pay thousands to listen to other people’s shit. If I must be driven mad and be an illegal immigrant to South America, I prefer to be self motivated rather than motivated by all the assholes one must meet on a cruise. Another benefit is that like the Max Leaders I also save money in living expenses LMAO.

    The cruise also had a downside consisting of a glimpse of where corporate cruise-dom lines up on some international issues, which I only discovered subsequent to boarding. The ship we sailed on, part of the Holland-America fleet, would hold events on board in its shops sponsored by sellers of various goods and services. Nevertheless, given a genocide that is clearly taking place in a place called Gaza together with a right-wing government in place in Israel that has openly advocates for an Israel “cleansed” of Arabs that will be will be both de facto and de jure Jews only, I was surprised to see such a tone deaf event sponsored by the ship entitled “The Colors of Israel Exhibition and Sale.” My wife and I, who strongly support BDS (“boycott, divestment and sanctions”) when it comes to the Jewish state decided that a little intervention was definitely in order so we made up two posters that read “Boycott the Genociders” and we wandered down to the place where the event was to take place and took up position flanking the entrance. Two Israeli young males were nearby giving us furtive looks as they were starting to unpack whatever it was they were intending to sell. We threatened no one but almost immediately two ship’s crewmen dressed in uniforms I had not seen before on board appeared to tell us that they were security and that any political advertising or harassment of vendors was strictly prohibited. They then took our posters away “for destruction.” I observed to them that I was wearing a USS Liberty remembrance shirt, which most definitely had to be considered a political statement, and I politely asked if I should remove it. The two conferred for a while and agreed that I could keep my shirt on as long as I didn’t use it to threaten or intimidate anyone.

    So Zionist/Judeofascist programming is even taking place on the high seas by Holland-America (and no doubt, other ZOG corporate lackeys). One wonders if jews own or hold board seats on all of these Zionist brainwashing hellholes. But it doesn’t really matter; like the “Woke” plague, the Zionist plague takes on a life of its own. But “Woke culture” (which is basically shorthand for “politically correct/kosher”) is increasingly in conflict with Zionist culture; the schizo contradiction between Marxist-Zionism or its Anglosphere iteration, the Warfare-Welfare state, is killing the patient.

    It occurs to me that not only are jews mentally ill schizos, but so are Judeo-Christians. Thus, Marxist-Zionist/Warfare-Welfare states will also be mentally ill/schizo.

    Gee, its no wonder mass mental illness plagues the JUSA and environs; it’s no wonder the Empire of Debt and Vice is crumbling; it’s no wonder Israel is filled with insane and unhinged, Judeofascist freaks, schizos and serial killers, and its U.S. poodle has so many of a similar breed.

    A quibble — the country probably has more like 375-400 million people crammed in by now, with forty to fifty million illegal aliens among them. Think about it: when Bush junior was first running for Prez a quarter century ago, pundits threw around the guesstimate of twelve million illegal aliens.

    At least ten million illegal aliens have entered the country in the past decade, reportedly five to six million in the past three years alone. The home prices, rents, traffic congestion, air pollution, and water tables in much of the country all suggest such a level of increasing crowding. We’re well past 330 million — that would be glorious compared to the population we actually have.

    ……………………

    As usual, there will be many more than two choices for president on the ballot in November. Same with other federal offices. And, in States other than California (with its limiting “top-two” general election for state and local offices), there are also usually more than two choices on the ballot for state offices as well.

    In federal races, my wife and I will be casting our votes entirely for “third-party” candidates, as we did in 2020. We just won’t vote for anyone running as a Democrat or Republican. Nor will we vote for anyone who “served” in the US government’s Thug Forces (unless they express regret and shame for having done so and call for the closure of hundreds of US military bases abroad and withdrawal from nato, an end to US aid for “israel”, and an end to US encirclement and provocation of Russia and China).

    You can say that nobody except Dems and Repubs has a chance to win. But by staying home rather than voting for someone other than a D or R, you leave the field to those two cruel, warmongering globalist parties.

    Staying home on election day sends no clear message whatsoever. The thoughtful abstainer, like you, cannot be distinguished from the merely lazy and apathetic person who can’t be bothered. Better to vote and pick a candidate from a newer, smaller party that calls for the dismantling of the US Empire and the restoration of state and local autonomy, privacy, dignity, and free choice for US citizens at home. If there’s no candidate like that, write someone in. Or spoil your ballot if you like. Those things send a message.

    Of course, since we generally share your bleak assessment of the US’s condition and prospects, it’s a good idea to buy a home abroad and accumulate savings in some currency other than the USD/euro/pound. In other words, we continue to vote but we have one foot out the door.

Voters are the ones on their knees begging for some jerk, different from the last jerk, to save their sorry asses and have no concrete plan on how to survive when all the services they currently depend on fail one after the other.

    The way out of this is to starve the gov’t beast while maintaining commerce and the services people rely on. The truckers boycotting NYC is an example that should be expanded nation wide. What the people need to do is to unload the gov’t parasites, starting with the local useless cops and working up the chain of command. Asking for the gov’t to ‘do something’ when it’s the cause of the problems or allowing the gov’t to continue the problematic policies is committing suicide.

    The working people outside of all gov’t need to go on strike. The demand should be that the Fed Gov is terminated, lock, stock and barrel. The state gov’ts then need to compete for reasonable laws and reasonable taxes so a competitive environment is established while there’s still time and time is very short.

    Right, not to mention nineteen very magical Arabs, who one day couldn’t taxi a 100-hp Cessna trainer on the taxiway at Venice Municipal Airport without a flight instructor sitting at the controls next to them, on the next day were magically flying multi-engine Boeing jetliners into impossibly precise targets hundreds of miles away using maneuvers seasoned airline pilots with thousands of hours said couldn’t be duplicated in a thousand years. But, it gets better, as you point out, since the support columns were magically suspended from the laws of physics on that fateful day, and steel magically remained molten in the depths of the debris for weeks afterward.

    The flight at the Pentagon magically went through a total of 9 feet of ultra-reinforced concrete and, despite the jetliner’s footprint overlaying windows, the windows magically remained intact and the impact left no debris on the lawn. Can you imagine anyone doubting the official narrative when this only touches on the rest of the magic that day? No wonder Congress wants to criminalize expressing doubt, especially about that other magical story, mentioned in Nick Kollerstrom’s Breaking the Spell, in which there were 2.4 million Jews in German-occupied territory during WW II. After the war 3.6 million Jews applied for reparations, although, tragically, the other six million were magically lost.

    I mean, did the cops wise up and join the citizenry? Or, did they remain in state mercenary gang-mode. No oath surpasses pension or pay.

    As in the case of Ireland past, many cops were brutally killed by citizens and the IRA and this last resort occurred only after years of non-violent attempts at negotiation with England. But, the Irish did indeed achieve their independence from a power controlling the world’s most sophisticated (and nearby) army at the time.

    Until the modern cops wallet is somehow captured first, modern citizenry will have no control over them except for violent means. Who wants that though.

    Most people don’t have any silver or gold and most people are so uneducated that they do not understand that silver and gold are the only true money in the world, even legally so. Your volunteerism, self reliance, etc is all positive, but there are over 300,000,000 million people in the US and most are as dumb as a stump when it comes to taking care of themselves. They are used to calling a plumber, a cop, an electrician, expect water to come out of a tap and expect excrement to just flush away, etc.

    So what, many people live check-to-check now. And it’s not like real estate will be suddenly worthless.

    I keep saying this but it’s obvious you’ve got your talking points and you’re flat-out not reading what I’m saying.

    WE’RE NOT TAKING EVERYONE WITH US

    WE DON’T NEED OR WANT 300,000,000 FUCKTARDS MOST OF WHOM BROUGHT US TO THIS POINT IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE

    It was working for small trade companies in resource towns that showed me this could actually work in the first place. Because THEY are the ones building civilization, not hundreds of assholes in suits thousands of miles away with their fucking grifting hands out.

    If those trades companies started paying their boys in whiskey or in gasoline, trust me we’d have a working economy real fucking fast. And in the modern digital world, these constructs you think we need, we fucking don’t. And no I don’t mean the internet. We can build other ways of communicating.

    When systems stop running, cities will turn into killing fields and then burn to the ground as the pavement apes run rampant while whitey worries about using his numerous guns and the regime’s reaction to violating the blatantly illegal gun laws. You can’t fix stupid that’s been inculcated into the ‘law abiding’ voting dolts for decades.

    Yeah none of that is bad, it’s how things almost went 4 years ago – the left and the wokeists decided they were going to have a big chimp-out with their pet chimps and they started burning their own shit down because orange man or something.

    I don’t know what fucking rock you’ve been living under, but “systems stopped running” quite a bit 2020-21. I was in sales at the time and in August 2021 it took 1 week to ship to California from western Canada. By October it was 3+ weeks, as in “impossible.” Ports were backed up mysteriously only in blue states but ran fine in the red ones.

    During the start of covid, in California, Oregon, Washington, and yes also in Canada, NURSING HOMES HAD COVID PATIENTS PUT IN!!!

    The democraps are already monkey-wrenching (literally using their pet monkeys) civilization all over the place. And you want to keep going with that, and telling yourself it’s not happening already, because of he fear that it might happen outside of democrap control?

    Ok man – you do you. But you’ve got to realize not everyone else sees the world as you do. I see civilization falling apart fast, all over the place. I’m not going to try to “save” anything – but my eyes are open and I’m planning for a tomorrow that may not include whatever you see in front of your eyes now as a “system.” It’s an illusion and it’s flying apart at the seams.

    The way out of this is to starve the gov’t beast while maintaining commerce and the services people rely on.

    Well then just be useful without government money. THAT’S IT. That’s all anyone has to do here. We can all wake up tomorrow and put our effort into another system.

    It’s not paradise and it’s not perfect but we are fast running out of options. The longer we draw this out the more painful a transition will be, the more people will be dependent on food delivery and digital currency and working online etc.

    I don’t think a fast transition is required. We can proceed slowly so that other people join up when they see what’s happening.

    A parallel economy – that’s it. Just walk around the structure.

    Directly threatening the structure when most people are still in it, I believe is a trap and I’d advise walking into that. I think at this point it’s food independence, get out of debt, get out of cities, and start trading with your neighbors. Be important to them, use your skills to horse-trade if you can, get your effort away from Jewish ineternational debt control.

    “Thanks for the information. It’s living of dummy tech or MTV,” sang Van Morrison.

    Modernity is a Judeo-Masonic Confabulation. The Sanhedrin has seized control of the money supply and they’ve literally become the “rainmakers.” Just “ignore the man behind the curtain,” and play the game. “Politics is downstream from Culture,” said a famous cokehead. Modern “culture” is generated by counterfeiters. Fitzgerald brought this fact to fiction. But the realization led to drink & death.

    According to Fr. Seraphim Rose, America is an amusement park with armed guards.

    Perhaps someone will write of a Carnival Cruise as Judeo-Masonic religious pilgrimage in a manner reminiscent of Chaucer’s “Canterbury Tales.” Or perhaps a cruise is a foretaste of Dante’s Inferno.

    Your principled stand with B.D.S., which is the true praxis of the Christ, on the Jewish Banana Boat, was reminiscent of journalist, Robert Whitaker attempting to publish an article critical of Psychiatry’s reliance on prescribing Benzos to “lonely hearts,” in a magazine subsidized entirely by Big Pharma -Quixotic but beautiful just the same.

    “High Proles” that is, machinists & electricians with secure pensions are the biggest schmucks because they believe “television is their friend.”
    Now the cast of “Our Gang” has been recast as sliding down waterslides on cruise ships. It’s a vision of a multicultural America in a well-appointed debtor’s prison.

    The Modern (Jewish) world is grotesque. The Goyim are tantamount to Dodo Birds who’ve grown fat and forgotten how to fly.

You’re not going to get food from the farmer or services from anyone unless you give them something they can walk away with and that’s not your house and land.

    There will be no mobility to speak of, so if you own property, you can live in it until the tax man or bank tells you to leave. No one in the US owns any property; they rent it from the tax assessor/gov’t and it’s never paid off; that’s part of the scam.

    The folks with no savings are going to be in real trouble and the more low IQ/violent will riot – everywhere. Gov’t will institute price controls, exchange controls, cancel all passports, trap everyone where they are. Roads between major areas will be closed. Think martial law and military in your face everywhere, since the US has been a soft military dictatorship since the deep state whacked JFK.

    The thing to do is to avoid the ultimate crash represented by the Dollar going hyperinflation. There’s still a small window of time for the population to tell the Fed Gov to fuck off.

    Cops are frauds. They do not fight crime and as a matter of fact, provide the environment for crime to flourish. Cops are a crime enhancement program where you are disarmed by law so some fat slob cop doesn’t protect you when some pavement ape attacks you while you’re at the fuel pump, ATM, anywhere.

    Cops need to be done away with and the average person needs to be armed and dangerous. When some POS acts up, the decent people in the vicinity need to kill that SOB on the spot and then call the garbage truck to pick up what’s left. There should be no prisons, wardens, parole cops, etc. The violent need to be killed on the first offense. The non violent need to work to pay restitution to the people they injured. A prison is a net loss for the society where the citizenry pays to house scum and provide food, shelter, clothing, medical care, etc for the human shit in the society until such time that the Criminal Protection Racket known as the justice system releases them.

    Cops protect the people that pay them. They are low IQ losers that have a vicious streak. How many engineers, doctors, architects, physicists, etc opt to throw their education away to become cops? Cops are the low achievers in the society that come out of school as stupid as they went in and then get on gov’t welfare known as policing where they follow orders designed to keep the working population in line. They are there to represent gov’t violence for the working population to keep them obeying every stupid new law designed to fleece the public.

Carnival is now by far the largest cruise conglomerate in the world.

    It was founded by Israeli Ted Arison, now deceased, who was replaced by Mickey Arison, his Israeli born son, who now runs the company as its Chairman and CEO.

    Arison is also the owner of the NBA’s Miami Heat professional basketball team. He lives most of the year in Florida and owns two 200 foot yachts which he also uses as homes!

    Dear Philip,

    The first atomic bomb was built by a Jew.

    My most favorite “Big-Box Store” namely The Home Depot was founded by a Jew.

    Also, NYC WTC buildings were destroyed by the Jews (and some Christians).

    My most disliked sport-wear business namely Nike was founded by a Jew.

    My favorite pastime of watching a good movie of Hollywood was created by the Jews of European ancestry 100 years ago.

    In any field of business — such as Arts & Science as well as Medicine & Higher Education — it is the Jews who have pioneered our modern existence whilst world’s Christians kept on dead-Jew-worshiping forever and ever!

    With the exceptions of a Christian man named William Henry Gates III and a Buddhist man named Steven Paul Jobs, I cannot think of anyone other than a Jew who has ignited so much for our modern life of communications.

    In fact, without the contribution of William Henry Gates III, I would probably not be able to write this post at the UNZ Review since my PC runs on Microsoft Windows Operating System and I use Microsoft Edge for browsing.

    Philip, it is difficult to deny that Jews are everywhere running our modern life and it is good that Jews are killing some Muslim-scums in Middle East.

The broker told him that he was the one keeping the price up via his demand and his efforts just weren’t enough.

    For anyone interested, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of videos on YouTube showing how cops are tyrants that don’t know the laws and don’t care to know the laws. These are people on a power trip that get off on pushing people around.

    The average cop supporter should be asking why are there so many scumbag cop videos and so few videos of a cop doing something commendable. The answer is obvious – cops are useless welfare recipients with jobs. If they disappeared, there might be an uptick in crime momentarily, but anyone with any common sense would then arm him or herself and start killing off the human trash in the society. Crime would plummet precipitously in short order as the dirtbags get buried.

    Dumping cops and not getting the people properly armed is not the answer. Dumping the useless fat slobs that couldn’t catch a hood rat if their very lives depended on it and repealing all unconstitutional gun laws plus advocating for the people to get armed and kill all the shit in the society is what’s needed.

    There is no doubt that some Jewish billionaire donors have an innate animosity against the ancestral core of European Christian nation-states. There is no doubt that some Jewish billionaire donors are pushing mass immigration as a means of destroying European Christian nation-states. Some Jewish billionaire donors are indeed engaging in attempts at White Genocide by means of mass immigration.

    Jewish billionaire donors are now a political issue. It would not be good for the Jews if citizens of European Christian nation-states begin to link mass immigration with the disproportionate political power of Jews or Jewish billionaire donors.

Europeans are not uneasy, they hate the criminals who took power most of them without being elected (Sunak, Sholz) or through fraud (Macron) and are pushing the satanic agenda of their Jewish puppet masters.
    “are uneasy” is a very huge euphemism.

    Referring to Israel’s crimes in Gaza, Gharibabadi, the secretary of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights, said “What is more deplorable… is the situation of women and girls.”

    He noted that women and children constitute 70 percent of the casualties caused by the Israeli genocidal war on the besieged strip.In his letters, Gharibabadi referred to several UN reports that revealed the devastating impact of the war on Gazan women and girls.

    “Unfortunately, this regime, with such a dark history, is a member of the [UN] Commission on the Status of Women that -according to the declared objective- was formed to establish gender equality and empower women, and whose one of its important tasks is to accelerate the fulfillment of the needs of women all over the world.”

No way Biden will make four more years – he will either be declared incompetent or go tits up. And can you imagine Kamala Harris as President? I voted for Trump the first time but now I can’t stand that dictatorial sonofabitch either.

    As far as solutions are concerned, save yourselves and your family to the extent you can. Home school children. Avoid putting garbage in your body. Don’t patronize mainstream news and entertainment media. Develop healthier, more beneficial pastimes, learning skills and crafts. Form like-minded communities, however small, that provide a support network.

    And if you must vote, do so when you know it bears the potential to have a positive effect. Local governments are easier to influence. State and national ones, not so much.

    Israel killed Barakat, National Palestinian football, through bombing.
    Palestinian footballer Mohammed Barakat has been killed in an Israeli bombing of his house in Khan Younis during the ongoing war in Gaza. The Barakat family’s home was hit by Israeli bombs early on Monday, the first day of fasting during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

    The 39-year-old scored 114 goals and was known as “the legend of Khan Younis” during his long association with the Khan Younis Youth Club, which he captained. The forward, who was also part of a generation of two-way footballing sides – playing both beach and pitch football – played for several clubs in the occupied West Bank and Jordan, including Al-Wehdat, as well as Saudi Arabian club Al-Shoala. Barakat kept performing when it mattered, and his last goal was in a 1-1 draw against the Shujayea Club at Yarmouk Stadium in Gaza City on August 18 in matchweek two of the Palestinian Premier League.
    His death was called a “huge loss for Palestinian football” by Khalid Abu-Habel, a local club footballer.
    Abu-Habel, who is also a doctor and works at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, said Gaza’s football community has “lost a lot” during the continuing war.
    “How many should we lose more? The sports community in Gaza is simply collapsing.

    From the Chinese point of view, generally speaking, the so-called democratic election is a Jewish game of house, so it does not make much sense to change the facts through elections.
    If what the Jews were doing were happening in our country, there would have been countless uprisings and indiscriminate killings of black people.
    ah.. We’re not racist, but we’re just good at killing people, people who need to be killed will be killed.

    There was no way they could defeat the Jews by any economic means.
    I suspect, however, that white people may not have the courage to go for coups and uprisings.
    In more than 2,000 years of Western history, there has never been an uprising at the bottom that massacred the top.
    Then I’m here to do some ideological work, to inspire courage in you Americans.
    Are the people at the top of the American hierarchy inherently superior to everyone else?
    If you do not rise up, you will be slowly consumed to death by high medical expenses and various forms of consumption and taxation. If you rise up, you’ll be killed by a gun or a missile.
    Think of the countless truth-tellers who have been killed since then. They tried to defend your America peacefully, but they all died on the way, assassinated, executed.
    Why would you appeal to integrity when the top brass doesn’t.
    Uprisings and coups are death, peaceful means are death, voting is a slow death. They’re both dead. What’s the difference?
    If you succeed in your uprising and kill them all, you will be the master of America.

The Jews own and control the entire Western media, Western central banks (obviously to include the US Federal Reserve), other banks, most businesses/corporations and academia…they ARE the Biden administration, they pull the strings on our puppet elected officials in BOTH major parties and never lose an election! They are owed the world’s debt and are behind the Great Reset to be completed by 2030! “You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy,” said Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum…and an ethnic Jew.

    Do you know how many United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) employees there were in Gaza on 7 Oct 2023?! Probably NOT! Twelve (12) UNRWA employees are guilty says Israel of participating or aiding in the Hamas attack of 7 Oct 2023. Correct? The number of accused is LESS than 1 in 1000 of UNRWA employees! That’s right! There were 13,000 UNRWA employees in Gaza on 7 Oct 2023!!! Israel made that accusation and the UNRWA was defunded, so almost all Palestinians would die from thirst, starvation and disease, and Israel could continue their genocide! The same is happening on the West Bank! There will be few, if any, survivors and they will be relocated out of Israel. Israel will ethnically cleanse all Palestinians!

    Israel ceased to exist from 70 AD to modern times. Search “Balfour Declaration” and you’ll discover the UK “sold” Palestine in 1917 to Zionists in the UK, Europe and America. The Zionists were led by the Rothschild family who were financing Jewish farmers to colonize Palestine since the 1880s! Why did the UK “sell” Palestine when it wasn’t theirs? The UK desperately needed money AND for the US to enter WW I. The super-rich Zionists provided the UK necessary funds for WW I and US President Wilson was persuaded with a presidential election contribution in 1916 to enter WW I (he did so in April 1917), where over 116,000 Americans died and 204,000 were wounded within one-and-a-half years! Wilson allowed the Jews to setup the US Federal Reserve in 1913 after receiving their first election contribution in 1912! The Jewish population percentage in Palestine in 1917 was about 3%! If the Palestinians/Arabs wanted to kill all the Jews, then, it would have been very easy. The Palestinians were lied to by the UK and told they would be free if they helped defeat the Turks who’d occupied Palestine for four hundred years until WW I! Instead, Israel was founded 31 years later and there still isn’t and never will be a Palestine…again! Search the internet before believing Western media and governments.

    It is obvious to all that are not ignorant or stupid: Hungary is the only nation in the Western world that isn’t owned by Jewish central banksters and media. They don’t wholly own Trump either, yet maybe and it’s why he “lost” in 2020 and will be in prison or murdered by early 2025…at the latest, unless he agrees to their demands. Trump or anyone that “wins” the 2024 US presidential election must say yes to more illegals, leaving US military in the Middle East to protect Israel, destroying Russia & China, more wars for profit and digital currency!

    Recently we have seen some of the Western countries such as America, France, Belgium and the Netherlands sent aid by airdrops to Gaza, where some of these packages fell into the sea or in the Zionist settlements and did not reach the Palestinian people. Some of them hit people of Gaza and killed number of them! These aids were not enough to satisfy their needs. We also read in the news that the US is going to build a port in the coastal strip of Gaza to ‘help Gaza’. 
    Meanwhile, Israeli sources announced that Israel has completed the process of creating a land corridor connecting the occupied lands to Gaza coast where it divides this area (Gaza Strip) into two parts. In this framework, these activities, including Biden is building a port, look SUSPICIOUS and are more related to a plan occupying, at least, part of Gaza where holds Palestinian’s OIL and GAS that Israel, with US assistance is trying to STEAL.

    In 1999, British Gas (BG) discovered the existence of natural gas in the Gaza Marine fields, 20 miles off the coast of Gaza.The Palestinian Authority was granted the right to exercise
    Palestinian Authority was granted the right to exercise sovereignty over its own maritime territory by the Oslo Accords in 1995. Four years later, following the findings of the offshore
    natural gas, the PA gave the international consortium BG a 25-year, 90% stake in a license to explore, develop any discovered fields, and install the required infrastructure. Since that time Israel has consistently blocked this development.
    In 2002, the PA approved BG’s proposals to construct a pipeline to a processing facility in Gaza. However, the Israeli state delayed this development, arguing that the pipeline should run to an Israeli-controlled port, and that Palestinians would have to supply Gaza Marine surplus fuel to Israel at far below market price.When Hamas won the Palestinian legislative elections in Gaza in 2007, Israel established a militarized naval blockade, prohibiting further offshore development. Around the same time, Yam Thetis, an Israeli gas consortium, challenged the awarding of the contract to BG, further delaying the process.In December 2008, in total contravention of international laws, Israel declared sovereignty over the Gaza Marine area, and BG closed its offices in Tel Aviv.

    First, both the occupying regime of Jerusalem and the western supporters are trying to weaken the central role of the Rafah crossing in the connection of the Gaza Strip with the outside world as much as possible and to present alternative solutions for what they claim to be providing humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. . In this framework, even the process of providing aid to the people of Gaza is under the control of the Zionists and the Western powers, and they can put pressure on the people of this region more than ever. 
    Second, it seems that the Zionists are trying to permanently occupy important parts of the Gaza Strip with the Western especially US support. Basically, Israeli regime is creating a land corridor that connects the occupied lands to the coast of Gaza, or we see that the American government is looking to create a port on the coast of Gaza, is also aimed at the same goal. To put it simply, they are preparing the basic infrastructure to occupy as much Palestinian land as possible in the Gaza Strip. 

    In the meantime, one point that demands attention is the hypocrisy and demagoguery of the recent positions of genocidal Joe Biden, a liar, that said: the Gaza Strip should not be occupied by the Zionists or that a Palestinian government should be formed. All these are nothing but LIES.

    Sam Houston was the only man to be governor of two states. Tennessee and then Texas. He’s also the only man to be kicked out of the governor’s office of two states before he finished his first term when the people of two states realized he was a Texas sized pos. Houston sided with the North. He wanted to be a part of the new empire that he saw the US becoming. He talked Texans into voting to joining the Union, the only Southern state to become part of the US voluntarily*. Texans voted 66% to give up their independence and join the union. With the promise that they could leave any time they wished. 16 years later Texans realized they had made a big mistake in joining the US and voted 75% to leave and join the South. The US went back on its word, as usual. The US wouldn’t let Texas leave peacefully.
    Sam Houston was a slave owner. He owned 12 making, making Houston the largest city in the US named for a slave owner. His son, Andrew Jackson Houston, ran for governor of Texas in the 1930’s as a “Lilly White” Republican – who wanted to ban blacks from The Texas Republican primary at a time when the Republican’s received fewer votes in the general election than the Workers Party.

She and her MASTERS, Mossad/CIA, created chaos in Iran in 2022 based on LIES, holding Iranian security responsible for Mahsa Amini’s death, who suddenly fell to the floor and died 2 days later in a hospital under doctor’s supervision.
    Majority of the western ‘feminists’ and ‘politicians’ used the moment to spread propaganda against Iran. These women who are supporting the genocide in Gaza, including Iranian opposition groups, were shedding crocodile tears for Mahsa who died due to her heath condition. They were cutting their Pussies’ HAIR in public in support of the ‘opposition’, but won’t support Palestinian women and children.
    Mahsa was used by the zionist ‘politicians’ to mobilize HOAX ‘Iranian opposition’ groups abroad, including the secessionist kurd, funded by the intelligence services, calling on these groups to go into the streets of the Western capitals and protest, hoping to topple the Iranian government.
    They have all failed. None of these hoax “Iranian opposition’ groups have condemned Israel and the genocide in Gaza, in fact, they have supported Israel but condemned Palestinians.

    As Trirta Parsi writes:

    Masih Alinejad, the pretend defender of Iranian women, sees the slaughtered children in Gaza and feels jealous. She wishes those dead children were Iranian.
    The mask is off. The more irrelevant she becomes, the more honest she is about her true agenda: She wants WAR.

Then too, I don’t have a 70-year old wife who must enjoy cruises, as Dr. Giraldi had previously written about another cruise he undertook, in the Adriatic I think, where he had his pocket picked. I recall getting a chuckle out of his account because I don’t speak Italian, and at first glance I clumsily mistranslated the Italian word Phil used for the place where his pocket was picked –vaporetto – as steam bath.

    It was only when the Tyrant Lincoln went all “I’ll kill everyone bitch” that the question of secession was first and finally settled. Sadly it was settled incorrectly. Volunteer in, volunteer out. Color me gone.

    Inclined to agree with RoatanBill that barter is going to be inadequate.

    But your advice is absolutely sound when it comes to:
    — becoming debt-free ASAP
    — moving out of large and medium-sized cities

    ………………….

    For the US “base”, I would add these:

    — live with or near close family members whom you trust

    — live in a locality where the police, prosecutor, town and county officials, and juries will vindicate your right to own guns and use them to defend your family, home, and neighbors

    — eschew or reduce vices that sap a household’s money (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, overpriced espresso, you know, most of the fun stuff 😉

    ……………..

    More important would be, as RoatanBill would surely agree, start a life for your children or grandchildren outside the US entirely. This entails, at a minimum:

    — convert savings from US Dollars into the currencies of countries that are far less indebted, that don’t print and borrow money to wage wars and occupations … and move those savings to banks NOT in the US/Canada/aus/uk/eu or China.

    — learn or improve your Spanish (and have younger people become proficient in a third language too)

    ** most of all, do whatever it takes to acquire citizenship in at least one other country, preferably two. You can start with temporary or permanent residence, as we’ve done, if you don’t have enough money to purchase citizenship-by-investment directly.

    For anyone still having children, be sure to give birth in a country with birthright citizenship (obviously NOtT the US or Canada). That includes Mexico, Brazil, and almost every other country in Latin America and Central America. If you’re past that stage of life, advise your kids to do this, and help them financially to get it done. In addition to immediate citizenship for the new baby, some countries will make the whole family (parents, siblings, even grandparents) eligible for immediate lifetime permanent-resident status and a faster track to citizenship themselves.

    The absolute worst thing you could do is get yourself deeper entrenched in the US real estate market. Home prices are going to fall drastically as reality sets in. Right now is probably near the peak of the real estate mania with no place to go but down and steeply down in a hurry.

    Expect banks to go bust at an increasing rate as commercial real estate loans go sour. This is not a bug but a feature of what the controllers have in store for the country; it’s part of their plan. They want the small banks that wrote most of the commercial loans to go bust so the TBTF can incorporate them before the CBDC hits. This is so obvious to me that I don’t understand how people don’t see the script.

    Buy the precious metals instead of some mafia’s currency. The metals are what central banks are buying, so take a hint. Are the central banks buying crypto? Again, take a hint. Store your metals out of reach of the Fed Gov, in places like Switzerland or Singapore. Pay for storage since it’s a reasonable charge and move your wealth out of the Fed Gov’s immediate reach. Do not do business with any US seller. Period! If the Fed Gov mafia wants your metals, tell them to fuck off but you must be out of their physical reach so don’t dilly dally about getting your butt out of harms way.

    Not a pretty picture.

    After his disgraceful Russiagate run as TUR’s “Freedom Watcher,” Mr. Napolitano has a lot of chutzpah showing his face on anything to do with free speech.

    Micron ain’t a little Napoleon, and whether or not ‘Brigitte’ is actually a woman, which I doubt, he is a closet homosexual under a beard. ‘Brigitte’ will allow anything.

    Store your metals out of reach of the Fed Gov, in places like Switzerland or Singapore. Pay for storage since it’s a reasonable charge…

    This is bad advice because gold stored in Switzerland is not really secure either. A few years ago there was a case of the bank having “lost” a depositor’s gold. The US government can easily prevail upon Swiss banks, as they have in the past, to restrict access by US citizens. Singapore is probably not better because it is an authoritarian country, with potential racial tensions, and could be overrun militarily.

    It would be better to keep Swiss and Singapore bank notes – under one’s own control, of course – due to their high denomination and stable value. A brick of a thousand purple Swiss notes (1000 CHF), worth more than a million dollars, can easily fit inside a small purse and is more practical, due to its liquidity, than carrying the equivalent value in gold.

    Agree with much of what you advise, RB. I’d respond, however, that realistically, we’ll very likely need a bunch of our target countries’ fiat currency in order to buy homes there.

    When I say “target countries”, I mean countries where we have (or are acquiring) citizenship or permanent residence other than the USA, have started living part of the year now, and plan to eventually live year-round whenever we find it prudent to get the family out of the US entirely. That seems increasingly like it might happen before my retirement.

    I’d never carry that much cash or precious metals around if I had that much liquid. We’ll go with spending much of our fiat money savings to buy real estate abroad instead.

    You are a moron. D.W. Griffith was the first great narrative director in the U.S.A.

    The freres Lumiere made short films all over the place, including Japan. Not narrative, but depictive. People are said to have been moved to tears by the effects of some of their short films, even though they were just depicting reality.

    The Film Centre of the Tokyo Museum of Modern Art has the Lumiere’s films in Japan on a loop, much worth watching.

    So you’ve got nothing.

    Really, this is the kind of trash-talk from the gutter I’d expect from a lowlife who can’t manage any kind of coherent response at all, and instead resorts to name-calling of a rather peculiar variety, which some psychoanalysts might regard as a Freudian slip.

    I say on Russiagate, we beat the judge’s arse with a stick. Beat it good.

    On other matters, we throw him some carrots.

    20 years ago I took a 10 day Contiki Tour in Europe. Contiki is a tour company that caters to 18 to 35 year-olds offering tours in over 75 countries. As the bus made its way around Europe, the “Tour Guide” kept making references to the Holocaust, Nazi Germany & Jewish victimhood, as if it’s the only European history worth mentioning, often recommending visits to a Holocaust museum or the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.

    I later learned that Contiki is a subsidiary of the Travel Corporation, owned by the Jewish Tollman family. It didn’t surprise me one bit that these tours are exploited to shape the minds of unsuspecting young travellers.

    You are actually a moron.

    Because, only a moron watches boring short-films in order to succumb to enormous boredom.

    In fact, you are a fu*king lunatic.
