That's why I think we should pull out of all of the pointless "interventions" that we engaged in, and use the saved money for things like ... oh, I dunno... maybe Medicare for all. We need to reindustrialize and stop being dependent on foreign supply chains. We need to repair our infrastructure and make our currency mean something again by ending fractional reserve banking. We need to dissolve the Fed (which doesn't have anything to do with the Federal Government; it's a consortium of large PRIVATE banks). And we need to rehab our environment.

Stupid people don't know they're stupid, and they certainly don't realize how obvious it is to others.
Just bc I don't buy into the RUSSIA!RUSSIA! hysteria ... which has time and time again been proven to be false narrative...doesn't mean I'm not for our country. You don't need to be against Russia to be for the USA, especially if Russia isn't threatening us in the way people say it is. (But it IS threatening us in a different way, and we need to respond to that, not some made up gobbledygook.)
I'm a nationalist, THG, not a "globalist". Being a nationalist may be counter to the Trotskyist vision of the future, but that's what I am. I've never had anything but AMERICA'S interests at heart.

America's Major Cities Are Being Turned Into War Zones, And It's Not Going To End In November
Michael Snyder via TheMostImportantNews.com,
The civil unrest that we witnessed all across America this weekend was extremely alarming. For a few weeks, it seemed like the chaos that erupted in the immediate aftermath of the tragic death of George Floyd was subsiding, but in recent days there has been a dramatic resurgence. Within the last 48 hours, there have been eruptions of violence in major cities such as Seattle, Portland, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Oakland, Louisville, Austin and Richmond. At this point we have seen sustained protests and rioting for nearly two months straight, and it looks like the chaos isn’t going to disappear any time soon.
Over the past few weeks, a few people have written me emails suggesting that the civil unrest will disappear if Joe Biden wins the election in November.
But I don’t believe that this is true. Virtually all of the rioting is happening in cities that are controlled by Democrats, and the leftist politicians that run those cities do not have any control over the Marxist protesters at all.
For example, just look at what has been happening in Seattle and Portland. The politicians that run those cities are radical Democrats, and yet those radical Democrats have been completely and utterly unable to end the violence. The following comes from the Daily Mail…
The streets of Seattle turned violent Saturday when protesters set fire to a youth detention center and a police precinct. Other protesters threw rocks, bottles, fireworks and other explosives at cops, with the unrest leading local authorities to declare protests had turned into ‘riots that afternoon’.
Portland geared up for its 59th night of unrest Saturday with swathes of demonstrators marching from the federal building to the Portland Marriott where they believe federal officers are staying, in the wake of a violent night Friday that ended with at least one person stabbed.
To me, it is absolutely amazing that Portland has had 59 days of protests in a row.
One man that actually lives in downtown Portland says that his neighborhood has essentially been turned into “a war zone”…
Gabriel Johnson has lived in the Essex House Apartments in downtown Portland for seven years. He has loved it — until now.
“I compare it to a war zone and some people will take that and say he must be exaggerating but no,” said Johnson.
Johnson said he is kept awake by the nightly demonstrations taking place just two blocks from his home. The sounds of fireworks and flash bangs, he said, are overwhelming. The tear gas is bad, too.
And Johnson certainly knows what a “war zone” is like, because he is actually a military veteran.
Elsewhere, two very heavily armed militia groups nearly came face to face in Louisville, Kentucky this weekend …
More than 300 members of the Atlanta-based Black militia NFAC, or “Not ******* Around Coalition” came to Louisville demanding justice for 26-year-old Breonna Taylor, an ER technician who was fatally shot by officers in March.
The group came close to 50 far-right “Three Percenter” militia members, who were also heavily armed. Police kept the sides apart and tensions eventually dissipated.Quote:
If just one person had gotten an itchy trigger finger, that situation could have gotten out of control very rapidly.
But there was one unfortunate incident when a member of the NFAC accidentally had a gun discharge…
Police confirmed three members of the NFAC were struck by gunfire when someone’s gun discharged while participating in a demonstration Saturday. All three victims went to a hospital with non-life-threateNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

Quite so. Still, sigs a Russian troll so her nationalism is rooted in Russia not America.

pulling the rabbit out of the big hate box for a minute...back to the OP.
stories that I'm not seeing are around the folks who have homes, and small businesses, etc that have been caught right in the middle of all this.
I can only imagine how maddening it must be to have lived someplace all your life, poured your finances and your sweat n blood into a biz, etc and then have to cower in fear every night, as the craziness goes on.
Watching your local mayor, etc refuse to provide any protections, and then opening the mail box each day to find that the bank wants the mortgage paid.
some harsher comments I see, those people voted these polticians/policies into power, so now they have to live with their decisions, etc...
but i just can only imagine the nightmare of watching the politicals and media keep running the story that this is about free speech and that it's just peaceful protests.. I mean, I can see the videos for myself..it's violent, it's deliberate and obvious in its real reasons.
I'd like to know , if I lived in Portland, that someone from America might be rolling in to save me.
now, disclaimer, I'm against the 5am no-knocks, I' against the ABC departments rolling full SWAT outfitted agents in to a business like Gibson guitar to strongarm a company over what consitutes a "completed product" from India
and I'm not even going to declare a personal political bent in this, but to call Portland anything less than the riot zone it is...no... can't agree with them on that.

In order to "trade", one must have something to TRADE WITH. Right now, all we're doing is running the printing machine and handing out newly-printed American dollars for chemical and manufatured items.
Quote:Making YOU the troll. I only post long items if I feel they are of interest or add context.
Now, if you troll this thread posting enormous excerpts from the treaty, be aware I'll post them into the garden thread.
Quote:You DO understand the basic enforcement mechanism behind the TTIP and TTP, correct? It places trade disputes beyond the legal jurisdiction of the USA, or any other signatory. It protects the COMPANIES' NORMAL AND EXPECTED PROFITS.
And, all the other troll threads you and others have created. I'll enjoy it.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), also called the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, was a proposed trade agreement between Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam, and the United States
In other words, you keep promoting what Putin wants, comrade sig, comrade troll.
So, for example, if a city, county, province (Canada), state, OR NATION, were to write rule (say, for example, limiting the amount of plastic packaging) and some company (plastic manufacturers and the companies that use them) were to claim that this prevented them from making their NORMAL AND EXPECTED PROFITS, they could sue the governmental entity - whatever it was- take them to the trade tribunal in Singapore, and make the governmental entity rescind its law/regulation. No joke.
But if you don't believe me, then believe that notable Russian troll, Elizabeth Warren, as reported by that notable Russian outlet Vox
Quote:
Populist crusader Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has picked her next big fight, and this one could create real problems for the Obama Administration.
Her beef is with a piece of the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal that the Obama Administration is promoting. It's called investor-state dispute settlement, and it gives a foreign corporation the power to fight a government outside of the normal judicial system.
"The name may sound mild, but don't be fooled," Warren wrote in a Washington Post op-ed. "Agreeing to ISDS in this enormous new treaty would tilt the playing field in the United States further in favor of big multinational corporations. Worse, it would undermine U.S. sovereignty."
This is a big deal, not least because TPP is huge; its members account for 40 percent of the world's economy. Add in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership being negotiated with European countries — which also has investor-state dispute settlement provisions — and you have a majority of the global economy. That means the ISDS provisions in these trade agreements could affect a sizable share of the world's corporations.
So even though this might sound like a political fight over a complicated bit of trade policy, the implications — particularly for corporations — are big.
What is ISDS?
Investor-state dispute settlement is a provision included in many trade deals, and it allows a company to fight a foreign government through a route other than that country's court system.
As one example, let's say Company X is invested in a foreign country. If the laws in that country change in a way that Company X thinks violates its rights as part of a treaty — say, by banning a product Company X makes — Company X can go into an arbitration proceeding to seek damages. That proceeding is not run by the host country; rather, the case faces three arbitrators — one picked by each side and one they either agree upon or that an independent third partNOTIFY: Y | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME

I always wonder why the words "comrade" and "russia" and "troll" come out at any particular instance. It's like you feel like you're loosing and have to make up for your lack of progress with rabid lies.
There were many countries that discussed the TPP: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam, and the United States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Pacific_Partnership .
ONLY NEW ZEALAND AND JAPAN RATIFIED THE TPP. ARE AUSTRALIA, BRUNEI, CANADA, CHILE, MALAYSIA, MEXICO, PERU, SINGAPORE, AND VIETNAM ALL RUSSIAN STOOGES, THUGGER?
After the US withdrew, the remaining countries created a new version.
BUT ONLY 6 RATIFIED THE NEW VERSION - Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, and Singapore. The remainder countries (governments) felt it wasn't in their best interests.
ARE BRUNEI, CHILE, MALAYSIA, PERU, AND VIETNAM ALL RUSSIAN STOOGES, THUGGER?
