Right where they belong.

Great. All the better to oppress you, I'm guessing?

Spec ops guys found ~40m out from Raqqa.

It's how the brain fights infection. Over age, the blood-brain barrier weakens, and eventually infections overwhelm it.

neat story.

As with the last ones, it's actually a bailout of EZ banks.

LOL. Enjoy your heroes, gov worshippers.

What a dirtbag.

4,300 is a small number considering how many are locked up, but it is still a travesty.

Guess they are getting revenge for how much the Russians rolled back their earlier gains.

If so, would be a pretty big win for the YPG.

The orcs are truly disgusting.

On coproaches and their high suicide rate. It must be stressful for them to have a conscience; clearly they need to screen better to hire sociopaths so that the kop suicide rate goes down.

A good read for those just figuring out how bad the situation really is, and sort of freaking out. Look, if we retreat into a remnant, we're actually in a much worse position to influence what comes next. When people ask their libertarian neighbors who invested in their defense how they knew, we will be in a very influential position. Nothing wins an argument like success.

Of course, you always have to worry about whether you need to resist being rounded up; but if we are using our quiet influence in the black market rather than rioting and demonstrating, the state will be too busy to remove us; furthermore we will be too useful to remove.

In the meantime, just keep working harder to secretly increase the standards of living of yourself and your family. It's the only way forward. If we can't reverse the capital depletion, we are doomed as a society.

99% conviction rate for the serfs, 99% exoneration rate for state employees. Do you get it yet?

Scott Adams is spot on here.

The author compares the hopelessness of the American rural hinterlands & the rust belt, where suicide & drug abuse are rising to the AIDS epidemic and wonders why the gay community was able to turn the corner while the others cannot. The answer is simple; viral infections are not nearly so dangerous nor as monstrous of a killer as the state. Opposing it is much, much harder.

That said, he at least gets why we're gonna get fascism:

Lets be honest- Clinton doesn’t give a shit about me. When Clinton talks about people hurt by the economy, she means you: elite-educated white-collar people with obvious career tracks who are having trouble with their bills and their 401k plans. That’s who boomed under the last president Clinton, especially the 401ks. Me, or the three guys fighting two nights ago over the Township mowing contract, we’re nothing. Clinton doesn’t have an economic plan for us. Nobody has an economic plan for us. There is no economic plan for us, ever. We keep driving trucks around and keep the margins above gas money and maybe take an odd job here or there, but essentially, we’re history and nobody seems to mind saying so.

And let me be honest again- Trump doesn’t have an economic plan for me either. What Trump’s boys have for me is a noose- but that’s the choice I’m facing, a lifetime of grueling poverty, or apocalypse. Yeah I know, not fun and games- the shouts, the smashing glass, the headlights on the lawn, but what am I supposed to do, raise my kid to stay one step ahead of the inspectors and don’t, for the love of god, don’t ever miss a payment on your speeding ticket? A noose is something I know how to fight.

Fuck it. Give me the fascists, I’ll know where I stand…

Things turned out exactly as he said, and now he can probably pick it up for a song.

Guess that's what happens when you become buddies with Bill.

It's a political slush fund like most high-profile charities.

The inverse blessings of the state.

lol. Way to go Mark Dice.

The life-saving effects of the Free Market. This would never be allowed in our authoritarian present.

On the bogus "war on cops".
