The Fog of War

What are we thinking about, has the State Department not herd of “the Fog of War?” All thing being equal a veto of a UN move to censure Israel would gain little attention. Today however things are spinning out of control. The dark side (If I can be sure which is the dark side) grows bolder. The war spreads to Lebanon, Beirut and where else. If we make even one move now that further commits our military, major antagonists will claim their own small, close by conquests of acquisition: Taiwan, South Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia or where else?

Not a good time to fan the flames by a defiant veto, regardless of who is right, fight battles that you will win. Otherwise let others fight them. One can tell the generals have little or nothing to do with our strategy. There is presently no discernable military strategy in evidence. Like a hunting accident, we know not where we shoot. The crazy civilian neocons seem in control; the Comander and Chief and the Generals, not.

Oil and gold are up; the market is down. The market knows where we are going. A bold defiant move just now might get us WWIII. It is the fog of war, an inflection point, a time when events overtake the capacity for rational response; suddenly we are in it, just where we did not want to go.

Can we but hope for the fog to lift or that military strategy, if not diplomicy, prevails. “I won’t veto your’s if you don’t veto mine.” Then if they do not reciprocate, you can diddle around and point your finger asking, “How can I trust you Gregori?” Ah diplomacy, but let others fight the war.

This election will determine the future of the American Republic, Western civilization, and potentially the survival of the human species. Plato suggested that democracies tend to devolve into oligarchies, and we are witnessing that transformation before our eyes. Three major trends in the U.S. threaten to replace our Constitution and representative government with a totalitarian, internationalist, socialistic oligarchy. First, seventy years of Soviet subversion, the Vietnam War, and generations of youth who were taught to reject American institutions have undermined U.S. leadership. Now, Chinese espionage, bribery, and infiltration further contribute to the erosion of America’s traditions of citizenship, enterprise, and prosperity. Second, NGOs in Washington, an entrenched bureaucracy, and organizations like the Trilateral Commission prioritize internation...

Utopia

The Devil promises a utopia of worry-free egalitarianism beckoning you to an Orwellian hell of despondency. Its a matter of giving or taking. Work for your family and community supporting the common good, or take from the wealth of those who produce and promise benefits to those who do not and those destroyed by the theft of their own creation.

Inflation

Many retail investors buy individual stocks with growing confidence in a narket that has a long run. Many fail to appreciate the way the market reflects inflation. Company revenue consists of inflated number,s as does cost and profit, thus the market reflects true inflation which must now be near 100%.
