The video cited in the below comments with which I'm making my notes from (inspired by): ONE MILLION RUSSIAN TROOPS marching to the Polish border
Douglas Macgregor Straight Calls • 289K views
is if I'm making sloppy metaphors but so the point is though that why can't they
32:49 remember that it only ever was to be a unipolar moment that this is just the
32:55 middle part of North America that we can not now never mind may not we can not be
33:02 the dominant power in Eurasia forever it just can't work it doesn't work
33:07 well I I don't disagree with you obviously I think you're right but the problem is the neocons in particular
33:13 believe in this notion I think of Perpetual Revolution and that America should be its
33:19 instrument and this is reminiscent of the trotsky-eyed Bolsheviks ultimately
33:25 Stalin dislodged them and expelled as many of them and killed as many of them as
33:30 possible because they kept arguing for this internationalist position it would drag the Soviet Union into war with its
33:37 neighbors and his argument was well the first thing we need to do here in the Soviet Union is consolidate and build we
33:45 don't need war with the west or war with anyone uh right now what we need to do is
33:52 consolidate you know our Industries we need to re-examine what we're doing we need to develop New Economic policies we
33:59 need real security for the United States and the Western Hemisphere
34:05 no one wants to go there because this is not part of the larger money machine well that money money machine needs to
34:13 stop and the only way to stop it I'm afraid is probably with some measure of bankruptcy and I think our economic uh
34:20 or financial system is about to tip over that's going to have an impact we're we're certainly back where we were in
34:27 2008 only much worse these proverbial chickens will come home to ruse and there will probably be
34:34 an opportunity then to do some things differently and take care of a business here at home but I I don't see any other
34:41 Force arresting it right now other than the economic reality that we confront do
34:47 you no sir I mean that's always been the contest for 20 years is can
34:53 the economic catastrophe the impending collapse of our phony economic system
34:58 and monetary system save us from nuclear war
35:05 ultimately that's going to be the contest because as Ron Paul said no one will listen it's just we're going to run
35:11 out of money at some point the question is whether we run out of money before the h-bombs start flying because the
35:16 Americans just can't stand the fact that Russia and China exist and without yeltsin's to just do exactly as they're
35:24 told but it's a pretty big planet you know I don't know I don't know how they think they could
35:30 run China out of Washington DC if they had a guy in there you know what I mean he'd probably just left them alone it's
35:37 not a question of running them out it's a question of doing business in a way that is profitable and mutually
35:42 beneficial and we haven't done that we we've we have too many greedy people with too
35:49 many short-term interests there's no long-term consideration and there's an acute lack of Devotion to the country
35:56 it's a huge problem and it's not going to fix itself quickly but I think the
36:01 economic Dimension is going to facilitate some change in the right direction how we react to it is another
36:07 matter right but there are a lot of people in this country now more much more so than I remember at any time in
36:13 the last 20 years who seem to be angry and seem to be acutely sensitive to all
36:20 of these things we'll just have to see how it plays out politically but right now I think a lot of people have also
36:26 discovered that these two parties don't really amount to much that there has to be a third Force some
36:34 new force in American politics because the two parties are basically rooted in the same swamp are they not yeah they
36:41 certainly are well we're trying over at the libertarian party we're It's a grand reopening over there and
36:48 we're doing everything we can but let me ask you this Colonel because um you know you have uh this legendary
36:55 experience in the US Army and all of that and even though it's like Eisenhower himself who coined the phrase
37:02 military industrial complex that's not the way they tell the story on TV and in fact that's a conspiracy
37:08 theory even if it's not the Freemasons it's still too corrupt for America to be
37:14 run that way and so whatever Eisenhower said he must not have known what he was talking about something like that
but I
37:20 was just wondering if you could tell us about your experience actually in the Army and just what you know about what
37:27 effect money has on things like whether you guys are driving the kinds of tanks
37:32 that you would be driving if it was up to you or whether you're driving the kind of tank that a lobbyist sold to a
37:37 congressman for reasons that have very little to do with uh you know you guys and your performance out in the field or
37:44 whatever things like that to let people know uh the degree to which you believe
37:50 that you have this kind of perverse incentive of just built in from these
37:56 various contractors in arms manufacturers and the role that they play in setting the policy in the
38:03 Pentagon and and in the rest of these see well keep in mind that most of the
38:09 soldiers sergeants lieutenants captains Warren officers uh Majors Lieutenant
38:14 Colonels Colonels have very little exposure to what you're discussing
38:20 uh they they simply follow orders and do the best they can with whatever they're
38:25 provided and occasionally they will raise questions about the the quality of
38:32 something but just the same is true in the Navy when I was doing some work years ago for
--- My experience and what I saw and felt as well. - Mine and and everyone I know who has served in the military, from my experience as well. - Tremendous waste (inefficiency) and uncaring about effectiveness (and cost-efficiency) in how money could better be spent and outfitting our own with actual good equipment and gear - but the U.S. empire is overextended I would make the argument and case andthat takes a toll - that cost is huge. Year over year. Russia doesn't have that problem. China doesn't have that problem. That's a problem of an empire - a falling empire (reminds me of Ray Dalio - "Principles of changing world orders" or whatever it's called, Youtube video - but that is only dimension/aspect of the reality of the current world and recent modern history).
- So it's no wonder and no surprise that NATO is running out of ammo and crappy old equipment/weapon systems to send to Ukraine etc. (is not all old equipment - I know, I know, and it gives good reason for the military industrial complex via the Pentagon (money) to produce some more and new equipment for the military - technology advancing - the problem of over-extension and empire, takes a lot of $$$, have to have some decently valid excuses for all that $$$) and the world is watching all of us this play out and of course, the logistical advantage Russia has in this war would require NATO to engage firsthand (troops on the ground - all out war) for Ukraine to have any chance of beating a country as huge as Russia - - and of course, the media is lying (and has been - and lies to us on so many issues but I did not know how HUGE the lie network was and IS) about the narrative regarding Putin and this war, this "special military operation" (SMO) in Russia's view; otherwise, if it was like how the media trys to portray Putin and this SMO, as in a war and Russian conquest/imperial ambitions (renewing the U.S.S.R.), than why hasn't and doesn't Russia go full out? - trying to take out the government and military command in Kyiv and use its full in-direct fire capabilities (missiles, artillery, rockets) and air force in this so-called "war"? - Because Russia is not lying - It is an "SMO" and Russia is on the right side of history. Truth folding out. - "Truth prevails falsehood perishes". -- America, an empire of lies and going about sowing chaos and destruction everywhere in its wake. - America - trying to hold onto global hegemonic power.
38:39 the office of Secretary of Navy one of the things that we found out when we talked to people from the fleet was that
38:44 the fleet would ask for Effective shotguns as an analogy and
38:51 several years later they were given laser Pistols that didn't work in other words whatever the whatever you
38:58 ask for isn't necessarily what you get because decisions are made at a very high level to invest in something that
39:04 may not be proven that may be problematic but it's a it's a money maker in other
39:10 words it's a money pit and The Money Pit is what you get with shipbuilding it's
39:15 what you get with tank building all these kinds of things have supporters on
39:20 the hill as well as an industry and then in the districts and states where they're manufactured
39:26 not all the right decisions are not always made you know when we came out of Desert Storm virtually all of us that
39:32 served on M1A1 tanks pointed to the enormous problems associated with the
39:38 Tank's turbine engine it burns at a furious rate
39:43 it's it's basically the seven and a half to eight hour tank whether you're sitting still or moving after seven or
39:49 eight hours of operation the tank runs out of fuel it's jet fuel and it burns at a very
39:57 very high temperature which means that you emit a thermal signal that can be viewed from space
40:04 uh certainly from low earth orbit so that's those are problems and then of
40:09 course being a turbine engine it sucks in a lot of air in order to work effectively because it was designed to
40:15 be used in the air and that creates enormous problems for maintenance and fires and so forth so we all said get
40:22 rid of it and replace it with a solid high performance diesel engine much like
40:28 the one that went into the leopard tank which is an excellent engine uh very very efficient 1500 plus horsepower the
40:36 Israelis use a version of it in their Merc of the tanks well nothing ever happened we didn't
40:42 change it it's still theirs why well someone has an interest in Washington DC and keeping it that way but it's not in
40:49 the interests of War fighting it's certainly not going to help us in the United States Army or whomever uses it
40:55 so I can't I can't go I can't say much more other than to point out that the
41:00 people that are on this runaway train tend to be politicians on the one hand and three and four star generals and
41:07 Admirals on the other yeah they they exert enormous influence and then you have the the build the industries that
41:14 build these things that step in and say well if you can't figure out what to build we have to build something or we
41:20 can't keep everybody employed so we'll build whatever we think is appropriate I had people from various corporations
41:26 tell me that over and over and over again if the Navy can't figure out what it wants well we're going to build ships
41:31 anyway the hell with the Navy the Navy will have to use whatever we build and it's it's a problem so I I think
41:37 Eisenhower was right of course he was in a different era and he was worried about it but I don't think he even in his
41:45 wildest imagination envisioned what we confront today yeah and we're back to
41:50 the original question will the economic downturn that we all agree is coming uh
41:57 help us solve this problem yeah I don't know it depends an awful lot and who ultimately ends up in power in the midst
42:03 of the chaos we have no way of knowing who or what that will be yeah well and you know what too like Ron Paul says
42:10 that ultimately even in the Soviet Union the people get the government that they
42:15 deserve and demand if people won't go along with it anymore then it won't work and it really is up to us and even if we
42:22 don't control exactly the levers of power if we had a real consensus in this country among the hundreds of millions
42:30 of us that we don't want to do this anymore then they would have to stop so
42:35 well that's true and I I think just to Circle back a little bit to what's happening in Ukraine today the Russian
42:43 population is overwhelmingly behind Vladimir Putin and his government
42:48 they are incensed at what we've tried to do to them in Ukraine and they want
42:54 blood and we should be very grateful ultimately that Putin has
43:02 exercised tremendous influence and restraint over these people because if the Russian populace was to
43:09 have its way Ukraine would probably go out of existence they'd Steamroller the place
43:14 that's how angry they are and so you're right uh popular sentiment
43:20 makes a difference and it has made a huge difference in Russia and we need to be more sensitive to it
43:28 than we are but again this is back to the original proposition when you get chaos as a result of this coming
43:35 economic downfall we will find out uh who is going to step in and who is going
43:42 to lead and the population will have a chance to either support or reject what
43:47 they don't want because they'll be interested they'll be interested because they want to eat they'll be interested
43:54 because they want to heat their homes they'll be interested because they want to drive their cars yeah if you get my
43:59 drift yeah I I think it is going to be like that and look it's clear absolutely that
44:05 a huge part of our problem right now is that the Biden government is the Obama government the people who did the coup
44:11 of 2014 who started the war and who can never take responsibility for any of it
44:17 so never even mind if it was Donald Trump up there or anyone like that but just if it was some random Democrat
44:24 Governor from out west somewhere I don't mean that horrible guy from California but
44:29 some guy you never heard of but just some democrat politicians sitting in that chair that would be one thing but
44:35 this is Biden and Sullivan and blinken and Newland the ones what got us into
44:40 this mess in the first place so it makes it really you know difficult so you're definitely right that you know
44:47 it it takes both sides right it takes the American people understanding what the problem is and being determined to
44:53 do something about it and then that thing being removing people like this
44:58 from the decision making

Quite amazing - the importance of vocabulary building and self-talk (though we (us humans) are very mentally tough):
I like :) :
---------------------------- The best videos (In my opinion) from this post - Featured videos - -
Notes from the above video (got a bit mad, a bit inspired): Ranked Choice Voting! End Neo-colonialism - End the I.M.F., the World Bank etc.! Take back the Fed! Save the Planet! Democracy! Education! Evolution through revolution. Peace! Not a "new cold war". Not nuclear war - Not WWIII. Trade - not slavery - debt. No to NATO. No to war. Freedom not slavery - "Exit the Matrix". Truth prevails while falsehood vanishes. Empires rise and fall. Resiliency - self-sustainable - independence(!), "Anti-fragility", Nothing lives just for itself -> - "Take responsibility", "YOLO - make yourself proud", don't quit til your dying breath - Allah Akbar.

I see the IPCC has put out another climate change assessment report. Now I don’t trust the U.N., I already have a very negative prognosis on the future with climate change but am interested in what the report has to say. I think the U.N. is a corrupt organization at the top by and large anyway, but that doesn’t mean all the climate scientists doing work and research are corrupt or anything or that the IPCC reports are bad per se but I do and have taken the stance that a lot of the predictions (models) are and have been too weak but that the warnings and language has (only) gotten stronger, which is good and a more accurate portrayal of the situation in the last two publications in my opinion. Anyway…

My notes: ☹ ☹ Why don’t we just implement a global carbon tax? Easiest free market way to transition. -> We already deal with inflation and changing gas prices by the week, by the daynow. It’s never stable (stupidly, I think anyway). -> Power controllers. Capitalism. Look at our transportation sector. Car companies are interested in making and selling cars. The level of resources – the throw away culture (society) – capitalism will end. Some day. Is just a matter of what (where) and how.
- Also thought: We need to slow down. The whole world. Sloooowww dowwwwnn… turn off our lights at night. Conserve. Big changes – vast changes are needed in myriad areas and ways. – We definitely need to do good. We need a whole lot of people doing good. Islam is the way (IMO). “Verily, man was created weak”. We need Allah and guidance and purpose – Allah doesn’t need us. – “Can’t you feel and think (- experience – life)” – “Life is a test” even negative emotions etc. as well as positive – thank Allah we have hearts (that turn) – and eyes and ears – Allah (S.W.T.) is rich – we are the poor and needy. Thank Allah. Al hamdu lillah rabbillallameen. – “We were made for this moment, for this time.” “Acquisce humbly to the decrees of destiny”.

Decent but I got a bit mad because of the Marxist criticism – I feel like it (the talk and this information) is coming from a modern secular position – just coming from within the modern framework of the secular society we live in today as Muslims in the West and the information about Marxism isn’t really true Marxism (and economics, but its political new-age anti-marxism influenced via the modern capitalist ideologies of the modern west and society in which we live and in Europe, they get a bit more socialism than the United States but it is actually still very and going more towards authoritarian/totalitarian so-called “free market -corporate-state partnerships” but in Europe, you have a bit more handouts and government supports like free healthcare not to um, be disrespectful or anything) but I didn't watch all of the video - is not so great to get mad about it or anything though, yes, I know...could be a good video, especially for a lot of people. I'm just quite decently learned now (still know nothing though, really), only watched the first 35 minutes or so: Left Wing Or Right Wing, Where Does Islam Fit? With Abdullah Al-Andalusi

Great: Cities After… The Problems with Supply and Demand in the Housing Market Democracy At Work 4.1K views [S03 E05] The Problems with Supply and Demand in the Housing Market **Stay connected with the latest news from d@w. Join our mailing list today: https://www.democracyatwork.info/sign_up "Housing...
-- Actions recommended by him /\ :
I am convinced that the only way out of
24:54 this crisis
24:55 is to First Take housing out of the
24:58 hands of asset management corporations
25:00 private Equity firms and all the other
25:04 Shady forms of speculative Finance
- True. I believe that corporations shouldn't have the right to buy up and own properties in a monopolistic or predatory and greedy (for profits only) way/nature; and that there should be a limit on individuals owning say, more than 3-5 houses at most.
Rental properties and obviously apartments can be beneficial to people and there can be good and caring rental property owners; but it starts to become a huge problem when housing is turned into like a commodities market, especially when the current capitalism doesn't take into account so-called "negative externalities" and everything is highly financialized with real work devalued.
25:07 and second we must Unite with housing
25:10 movements around the world to lobby for
25:13 the fiscal reallocation of resources
25:15 into the construction of community
25:18 controlled non-speculative housing units
- There are large gaps between use values, human needs (and suffering), best courses of action (given reality (and beliefs)) and what is profitable. Trying to think of maybe ways, best courses of action that could remedy the situation, unsure, but structural change (with more laws against evil and low moral standards of law or system building in the first place - of course these people, the rich people know what they are doing...) would definitely help much. - Am not against (am for) community housing and definitely not against "ecovillages" and that type of thing - I would like to live in one personally, but the cost is high and taxes are always an issue (how? where?).
Comments:
I think it's not just the affordability of housing that we need to focus on, but also the type (i.e. multiplex/coops/town-houses) and the transportation infrastructure (trains/trams/buses/bike lanes/bike parking).Great video!
@williamlathan6932 8 days ago I would add how mortgages going from 15 yrs to as high as 50 yrs to accommodate high prices as an issue. Property tax codes that increase "market value" also feed unaffordability. Yep. I believe people a "homeowner" should be free to do what they want with their property as long as it's not damaging or destroying their property. People should be free, especially in these times, to build more sustainable ways of living on the property they themselves own.
It's a funny issue in many places and cities within the United States of how you might have one street that's nice, but then, the next block over can be..."not so nice". Yet there's still this whole concept of "price controls" or "neighborhood price controls" for lack of more precise words, that enforce rules on what people have to proscribe to regarding their lawns etc., etc.
From my notes:
- You need a global currency reserve - "You have an optimal currency area which is the globe and you have an optimal political level which is much smaller". - Correct. - That is from "The Global Role of the Dollar" - New Economic Thinking.
- We need a global "bank" (thinking) with a steady state currency, free and open to all, that just acts as a store of money - no inflation. What? - How?... -"Kill the dollar system" "International monetary disorder" - As long as you do not have a stable global reserve currency there is going to be disorder/disorders...
Was thinking (hopefully it'll come back to me) but along the lines of what is a bank? What is a bank's role? If all the Muslims in the world (and being free and open to anyone else as well - The Prophet Sallahu Alayihi Wallasalaam was/is a mercy to all humanity and the worlds - the world, the earth especially included as well) which is the fastest growing religion in the world and will be the largest religion in the world relatively soon - made a bank - that had a stable currency, no interest - just 1:! lending or loans (not a fractional reserve system) - "All the earth belongs to Allah S.W.T." - We need to take care of our inheritance, it is our right. It is our responsibility. We need to move to a circular economic system (my opinion). Why are we (governments) not? - The E.U. countries previously had plans to move in that direction (or so they said as much) but now am not hearing anything about it - I believe it's because capitalist's corruption - the elitist - "the Kabal", etc., (banks - etc. of course, - the "Rules-Based International Order") (look at the above video - example. I wrote these words before watching that - just from my own accord and learning...) - The WEF and colluding with the I.M.F., (in which the U.S. established and in which the United States hold veto powers), - U.S. led "capitalism" - co-opting (and subverting) usurping power IOT (in order to) gain (The WEF - multinational corporations such as Black Rock, etc.) control over resources - including governments - that's why "socialism" is a dirty word.
- Anyway, not too important of a paragraph - can ignore - I work at an employee-owned company - that is very large. It's nice. It's good. Is nothing extreme or crazy about it. As a newer employee with less than 2 years experience and no or not much of any ownership of the company via employee-held company stock ownings (is a private stock) - obviously, I can suggest things that may make it to corporate executives but the chances are slimmer and it's likely that they've already heard it. They allow you and it's highly encouraged, to take your yearly survey/poll and rate the company's culture, and other topics and issues such as how they handle safety, and to give a rating and to submit comments if you'd like. - Is good, is good. Wish my pay was higher and also I think it should vary based on the specific task or job I do and getting a larger cut or portion of the profits. Obviously, if you give too much to the workers though, - greed is always a problem - that could hurt the company's ability to stay afloat or provide well for the employees such as equipment, vehicles, resources, etc. Is a balance. Within the market, you know, the company has to compete with other companies..Capitalism...unfettered capitalism though and greed, unchecked by Government and making everything into an asset/commodity... - Gain knowledge. I am learning. Can use my knowledge and discernment and moral character within me and understanding.

-> My notes: ☹ ☹ Why don’t we just implement a global carbon tax? Easiest free market way to transition. -> We already deal with inflation and changing gas prices by the week, by the day now. It’s never stable (stupidly, I think anyway). -> Power controllers. Capitalism. Look at our transportation sector. Car companies are interested in making and selling cars. The level of resources – the throw away culture (society) – capitalism will end. Some day. Is just a matter of what (where) and how.
