Have you ever heard such a load of sh** in your life? On balance, it seems that Americans are an ignorant people — ignorant and very misguided. Is there any hope for ignorant Americans? Listening to this sh** makes me think that I ought to convert to Islam! Islamic belief appears to be total sanity by comparison with this bloody nonsense!

Journalists Forced to Obtain Approval to Publish Stories in New Pentagon Restrictions

EURO NEWS: Media organisations and professionals have denounced the new Pentagon restrictions as unconstitutional, describing it as an attack on the first amendment, which guarantees freedom of the press.

The Pentagon says it will require journalists credentialed to sign a pledge to refrain from reporting on information that has not been authorised for release, including unclassified information.

A 17-page memo released by the US Department of War, recently renamed by the Trump administration from the Department of Defence, detailed that journalists who do not abide by the policy risk losing their credentials that provide access to the Pentagon.

“Information must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before it is released, even if it is unclassified,” the directive states.

Advocates for press freedoms denounced the non-disclosure requirement as an attack on independent journalism. The new Pentagon restrictions arrive as US President Donald Trump steps up threats, lawsuits and pressure as he looks to reshape the landscape of US media. » | Malek Fouda | Sunday, September 21, 2025

How does this measure and the shutting down of free speech in America rhyme with JD Vance’s relatively recent criticism of free speech in Europe in his speech at the Munich Security Conference? This is hypocrisy writ large!

Sep 20, 2025 | The American experiment is coming to an unceremonious end on the eve of our 250th birthday. It was quite a run. Alas, the steady erosion of our liberal institutions over the past half century has laid the groundwork for our final act.

‘Revolution Is Coming’: CNN Guest Delivers Dire Warning | The Kyle Kulinski Show

Jan 14, 2025


It’s a question of socialism for the superrich and raw capitalism for the poor, the working class, and the middle class.

One of the first things Trump will do is cut taxes for the superrich. So clueless is he! How little he understands economics! What a shitty system the American system is! Shitty, shitty, shitty!

No wonder the Iranians used to shout “Death to America!” I am no fan of the Islamic Republic of Iran, but can we conclude that they got that cry right?

What has become very clear to me is this: The re-election of Trump is speeding up the decline of America. America is going the way of all great empires before it: down the tubes. And if this is the best that America can offer the world, the sooner, the better. – © Mark Alexander

I Am a Committed European

MARK ALEXANDER: I should like to take this opportunity to remind my visitors that I am a totally committed European. I am NOT an American. And nor do I want to be one. The Americans have screwed me over once in my life — BIG TIME — so they will never get another chance to do so. Their despicable behaviour has turned me, a one-time lover of America, into an America-sceptic. Americans talk the talk, but fail miserably to walk the walk.

I have lots of experience of what life is like in America. I have spent lots of time there. Life there is not in accordance with our European way of life. Please be wise enough to refrain from holding the American way of life in such high regard. The European way of life is far, far better, far more cultured, and far healthier, too. Let Americans enjoy their corrupt ways; we can enjoy something better, something healthier, something altogether more cultured and altogether different.

Say No to Trump’s Shitshow! Say No to Trump’s Advances. Let Us Not Join the Circus

MARK ALEXANDER: The Americans have destroyed the West. They have destroyed the wonderful way of life that Westerners were once able to lead. Americans have destroyed Western values, too. What can we thank Americans for? They have destroyed family life. They have forced mothers out into the workplace, thereby abandoning their traditional roles are mothers, caring wives, and caregivers. Look at women today! And then compare them with women and mothers of yesteryear! Simply put: There is no comparison.

Have the Americans taught the world how to eat healthily? Hardly! Americans are largely overweight, even obese, and they fill their tummies with junk food. Hardly a way of eating to follow which is conducive to good health!

Have Americans taught the world how to dress? Hardly! Elegance is as hard to find in the States as is a needle in haystack! Unless, of course, your idea of elegance is a baseball cap and a T-shirt!

Have Americans taught the world how to enjoy family life? Again, hardly! If anything, with their insistence on working mothers, Americans have destroyed any semblance of wholesome family life.

Have Americans improved the English language? Again, hardly! Just listen to American videos and American TV, they are replete with foul words. The F bomb is dropped with alarming regularity, without anyone batting an eyelid.

Manners have largely disappeared from American life. Gone are the days in which one was addressed as “Sir” in a shop over there.

Americans talk a hell of a lot about Christianity. But do they live their lives in a Christian way? Hardly! First of all, the American’s understanding of Christianity is extremely skewed, to say the least. They believe that Jesus was all about making money! I would wager that the god that Americans worship is not God, but Mammon!

Can Americans teach us how to run a healthcare system? Again, hardly! Americans spend far, far more on healthcare than probably any other nation, yet the outcomes are worse. Furthermore, millions, literally millions, of Americans cannot afford for themselves any healthcare at all.

One could go on. And on!

Just about the only lessons we can learn from America, Americans, are in technology and IT. The rest, we are better off ignoring.

The Nazis Recruited to Win the Cold War - Brian Crim

Apr 16, 2024 | Dig into Operation Paperclip, a secret intelligence program which brought scientists from Nazi Germany to the US after WWII.

--

In May of 1945 the Third Reich was in chaos. Adolf Hitler was dead and German surrender was imminent. But while World War II was almost over, a new war was brewing. And the US was eager to recruit the smartest minds in Germany before the Soviets got the chance— regardless of their affiliation with the Nazis. This became known as Operation Paperclip. Brian Crim digs into the clandestine campaign.
