Hopefully if the liberals keep poking the old dog with their sharp sticks long enough, maybe the dog will snap back. The following story shows how crazy things are getting, and how a useless fool like Trump, merely from mouthing a few false wishes has set the Left off, even those who knit. Knit? Who even thinks about that; I am as old as the pyramids and I don’t have time to knit, spending my days, when I am not laying down in pain, getting more pain researching articles for various anti-abortion American sites and helping my husband feed you guys:

  https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/jun/24/white-supremacy-popular-knitting-website-ravelry-bans-support-for-trump

“One of the biggest knitting websites in the world, which claims to have more than 8 million members, has announced that it will ban users from expressing support for Donald Trump, saying that to do so constitutes “white supremacy”. On Sunday, administrators for Ravelry, a site for knitters, crocheters, designers and anyone dabbling in the fibre arts, said that they were making any expression of support for Trump and his administration in forum posts, patterns, on their personal profile pages or elsewhere permanently off limits. “We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy,” the site’s administrators said in a post. Users could also be permanently banned under the policy. The Trump ban comes only months after political upheaval gripped the knitting and crochet community around issues of racial and cultural insensitivity. That debate was sparked by popular knitwear designer and blogger Karen Templer, who wrote in January about a planned trip to India, likening it, in her excitement, to visiting Mars. Many in the craft community objected to the characterisation, calling it othering and reductive. Templer apologised soon afterwards, but the incident had a ripple effect, sparking off conversations about diversity and inclusivity in the craft community on Instagram, Ravelry and other places that crafters congregate online. A similar debate about cultural sensitivity and appropriation recently occurred in the sewing community.

     We have been covering the plight of US cities such as LA and San Franny, where streets are littered with human poop. However, one of the real treats, sorry, threats, of falling back into the Dark Ages, a new Dark age, is the occurrence of the plague or Black Death. Yep, an old friend in black with the scythe is back:
  https://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/bubonic-plague-in-la-california-on-the-verge-of-becoming-a-third-world-state_06262019

“The city of Los Angeles is quickly descending into a cesspool of decay and disease.  With bubonic plague now likely present amongst residents, the city and the state of California are on the verge of becoming a third-world hellscape.  Some say that that’s already happened… Tucker Carlson had historian Victor Davis Hanson on his show just last week, where the latter said that California is on the verge of becoming the nation’s first Third World state. From trash being illegally dumped to city hall becoming a rat-infested den in the city of LA, it all points to the decay suffered when Democrats run things. Even police stations in the city are loaded with rats and according to Townhall, one was fined $5,000 over its conditions that left one officer stricken with typhoid fever. California’s descent has gotten to the point where there is a possibility that bubonic plague (the black death) may now be present in the city. This isn’t new information either. Typhus outbreaks were being reported back in February. Typhus is not transmitted person-to-person, and flea-borne typhus can spread to people from infected fleas and their feces. Typhus infection can be prevented through flea control measures on pets, using insect repellent to avoid flea bites and clearing areas that can attract wild or stray animals like cats, rats, and opossums, according to the Department of Public Health. Typhus is spread by fleas hitching a ride on rats. While the general population struggles under the weight of the government (local, state, and federal in LA’s case) and the homeless population continues to climb up, the same cannot be said for the rats that carry fleas the cause typhus. The rat population in LA is doing just fine, however, as piles of garbage dot the cityscape, making it Thanksgiving Day every day for the city’s fat, happy rodents, wrote the American Thinker. -SHTFPlan

     Trump, no doubt commanded by Jared who is always looking over the senile old man’s shoulder to make sure things are going to his plan, has filled his team with the same sorts of war chicken hawks that led to the former drunk Bush invading Iraq because they, not the Saudis, did 9/11, and had weapons of mass destruction. Trump thinks that a limited war against Iran can be fought, and it will be over quick without the Vietnam repeat. Think again, you fast food eating old billy goat:

     Multiculturalism and the diversity cult, are indeed nation killers, for that is why the Dark Lords of Mordor unleashed them. But, let others tell you so, while I sit back, with my tin-foiled hat, pondering with a cigar and a stiff drink, listening to the black helicopters hovering overhead.
  https://spectator.org/multiculturalism-is-a-nation-killer/

“Politics in America is about the competition of interest groups for political power. Once victorious an interest group does not go away; it escalates its demands. The civil rights movement started out with demands for basic human dignity. Once those were met, it legitimately demanded equality of opportunity, and once that was achieved, it demanded preferential treatment where equality of opportunity was redefined, in Orwellian fashion, as equality of result. Flush with success, it now demands reparations where those who never were enslaved will receive compensation from those who never owned slaves, all in the name of virtue and justice. By nature, humans are tribal. Tribalism is the easiest way to organize people and mobilize them politically. Until very recently, America was a multi-ethnic society with a dominant culture. That culture is breaking apart as we become more tribal, and we begin to think of ourselves in terms of tribal loyalties, as reinforced by political elites.  Multiculturalism is the great myth of our time. The cliché is, “Our strength is our diversity.” But is it? Military officers sent to Vietnam learned that the enemy’s strength was a homogeneous culture, language, and identity.

     The 1989 case of the Central Park 5, five blacks who savagely raped a White jogger in Central park, is being raised as yet another example of White racism. Queen Ann Coulter has taken this one apart, better than anything else I have seen and this article below has been well-cited by all of our favourite sites. It shows the dangers of diversity, and jogging:

“Last week from Ann Coulter: The Wilding Of Linda Fairstein, And The Guilt Of The Central Park 5

     I believe that your truly, James Red was one of the first to write about closing down the universities, and I put the idea to Sir Walter Crocker when I met him while visiting Adelaide about 1992. I was teaching then, and a bit concerned about my job, so I did not write for On Target, but I did talk regularly with Eric. Anyway, my spot in history will be forgotten, but I am not in it for the ego, but to get the job done. Better people are now saying better what I originally said. Take my only favourite philosopher, Roger Scruton, for example:
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7035659/Roger-Scruton-Getting-rid-left-wing-universities-end-discrimination-faced-Tories.html

“Sir Roger Scruton says that getting rid of left-wing universities could end discrimination he believes conservatives face on some campuses. The philosopher thinks 'we have completely lost control' of state-sponsored institutions. The 75-year-old told a London conference on the future of Europe that universities could be founded outside the rubric of state control. Giving the University of Buckingham as an example, he suggested that private institutions would be preferable. But he added that scrapping state universities altogether could be another option, The Times reports. 'But there’s the other way forward, which is to get rid of universities altogether. That is to say, make sure their sources of funding dry up,' he said. 'They are essentially state-sponsored institutions. Withdrawing the grants that they enjoy would bring them right down to the level to which they are actually approaching.' His remarks come after a study found that just 11 per cent of academics supported the Tories in 2015, with 70 per cent backing Labour. In 1960 about 33 per cent supported the Conservatives and 45 per cent backed Labour. Sir Roger, who is acquainted with Hungary's right-wing prime minister Viktor Orban, was sacked as a government adviser on housing last month. His dismissal followed an interview in the left-wing New Statesman in which he made comments derided as racist. 

     Could this and more, generally ethno-cultural implosion, have something to do with the rise in suicides, especially in the US? Are poor folk seeing, or intuitively sensing what lies down the track, and are checking out now? Can’t really blame them:
  https://institutions.newscientist.com/article/2207007-us-suicide-rate-at-its-highest-since-the-end-of-the-second-world-war/
  https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db309.htm

“Key findings
Data from the National Vital Statistics System, Mortality
•    For 2000–2016, the age-adjusted suicide rate increased 30%, from 10.4 to 13.5 per 100,000 population, increasing on average by about 1% per year from 2000 through 2006 and by 2% per year from 2006 through 2016.
•    For females aged 10–74, suicide rates in 2016 were higher than in 2000.
•    For males aged 15–74, suicide rates in 2016 were higher than in 2000.
•    In 2016, for females, suffocation accounted for a higher percentage of suicides among those under age 25, while poisoning accounted for a higher percentage among those aged 45 and over.
•    In 2016, firearms were the most common means of suicide among males aged 15 and over.
In 2016, suicide was the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. Although the Healthy People 2020 target is to reduce suicide rates to 10.2 per 100,000 by 2020, suicide rates have steadily increased in recent years This Data Brief uses the most recent data from the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS) to update trends in suicide mortality from 2000 through 2016 and to describe differences by sex, age group, and means of suicide (e.g., suffocation, firearms, poisoning).”

    Here I was following the James Reed line, well expressed in the play, Mother Courage, that the coming Iran War was to serve specific interests, being what the Controllers want. Yet, there is opinion that the global economy could crash from this. I am not sure, but the point of view is worth examining, although our financial experts may disagree:
  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-23/provoking-iran-could-start-war-and-crash-entire-world-economy

“The Fed could find itself defending the role of the US dollar as the world reserve currency during any conflict in the Persian Gulf that would see the cost of oil rise to $300 a barrel, threatening trillions of dollars in derivatives and toppling the global economy. The military-industrial complex would in turn be involved in a war that it would struggle to contain and even win, destroying the United States’ image of invincibility and inflicting a mortal blow on its ability to project power to the four corners of the world. Just look at how surprised US officials were about Iran’s capabilities to shot down an advanced US Drone: “Iran’s ability to target and destroy the high-altitude American drone, which was developed to evade the very surface-to-air missiles used to bring it down, surprised some Defense Department officials, who interpreted it as a show of how difficult Tehran can make things for the United States as it deploys more troops and steps up surveillance in the region.”

     First there was the obvious false flag, that Iran attacked the Japanese tankers, where the captain said that the ship was hit by a flying object, widely reported in the mainstream press:

     Then we had news of Iran doing cyber-attacks on the US, as if this is not done by everybody all of the time, and the US retaliating with an attack back, which is just business as usual in the world unknown to the sheeple:

     Theme song to open this diatribe about dying tribes, is from the TV series Vikings, the theme song, If I Had a Heart 26 (January 2009) by Swedish recording artist Fever Ray (Karin Dreijer), so get out your Viking bearded axe:

“This will never end 'cause I want more
More, give me more, give me more

This will never end 'cause I want more
More, give me more, give me more

If I had a heart I could love you
If I had a voice I would sing
After the night when I wake up
I'll see what tomorrow brings

If I had a voice I would sing

Dangling feet from window frame
Will They ever ever reach the floor?
More, give me more, give me more

Crushed and filled with all I found
Underneath and inside
Just to come around
More, give me more, give me more

If I had a voice I would sing”

     This was something people in the past would not have thought about but is a product of modern urban living - people spending time outdoors have happier lives:

“It's been established that people who spend more time in parks and other natural settings tend to report higher levels of health and happiness, but new research shows there's actually a magic number for it. According to a study published this week in the journal Nature Scientific Reports, spending 120 minutes a week strolling a tree-lined street or sitting by a lake can greatly enhance a person's overall sense of well-being. Less time didn't yield any significant benefit, the research showed. Those who got in two to three hours in nature were about 20% more likely to report high overall satisfaction with their lives than those who spent no time outdoors at all. The benefits to physical health were even greater, with those who met the outdoors benchmark being 60% more likely to report being in good health than their cooped-in counterparts. The figures were adjusted for a number of characteristics known to influence health and happiness, including socioeconomic factors, neighborhood characteristics and general demographics.

     Here is yet another article which charts the doomsday progression of a country into the uncharted waters of chaos and collapse. What happens when national identity is drained away, like a person having their life-blood extracted?
  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/14406/suicide-of-france

“Regarding France in 2019, it can no longer be denied that a momentous and hazardous transformation, a 'Great Switch', is in the making", observed the founder and president of the Jean-Jacques Rousseau Institute, Michel Gurfinkiel. He was mourning "the passing of France as a distinct country, or at least as the Western, Judeo-Christian nation it had hitherto been presumed to be". A recent cover story in the weekly Le Point called it "the great upheaval". Switch or upheaval, the days of France as we knew it are numbered: the society has lost its cultural center of gravity: the old way of life is fading and close to "extinction". "Frenchness" is disappearing and being replaced by a kind balkanization of enclaves not communicating with one another. For the country most affected by Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism, this is not a good recipe. The French switch is also becoming geographical. France now appears split between "ghettos for the rich" and "ghettos for the poor", according to an analysis of the electoral map by France's largest newspaper, Le Monde. "In the poorest sector, 6 out of 10 newly settled households have a person born abroad", notes Le Monde. A kind of abyss now separates peripheral France -- small towns, suburbs and rural areas – from the globalized metropolis of the "bourgeois Bohemians", or "bobos". The more the French élites with their disposable incomes and cultural leisure cloister themselves in their enclaves, the less likely it is that they will understand the everyday impact of failed mass immigration and multiculturalism.

     With the demonic Deep State needing war with Russia to satisfy their psychopathic desire for killing, with drones being shot down and other fun things, it is only a matter of time before the big fireworks start.  Assuming that things do not go full nuclear too soon, which is improbable, what is the likely result? Clearly another reason to flood the West with trillions of refugees. Just ask Vlad the lad:

“Following China's warning this week that the United States is poised to open "Pandora's Box" in the Middle East should it escalate military action against Iran, Russia's President Vladimir Putin has weighed in, on Thursday saying any American military strike would have "catastrophic" consequences. Putin warned further that US attack "would trigger a surge in violence and a possible refugee exodus," according to Reuters. During an annual televised question and answer session hosted by the Russian leader, he reiterated Moscow's position that Tehran is in full compliance with its nuclear commitments under the 2015 JCPOA. He also slammed the US-imposed sanctions now choking the Iranian economy as "groundless". "I want to say at once that this would be a catastrophe for the region" — Putin said.”

     Regular readers will know that as a former soldier, divorced, and a typically alienated older male, Anglo Saxon, dispossessed etc. I live, and thus sleep in a tent. But, I am not the only one doing this. Here is a great video by athlete Rich Roll who puts the case for a natural Stoic approach to life which emphasises basic natural living and food (mainly vegetables) and the need for sleep for human quality in an insanely paced world. He found that sleeping in a tent improved his sleep, wellbeing and overall efficiency. I concur, totally. I am not sure how his wife likes it. Still, when I was married I used to sleep on the floor, after doing the martial duties, so people work it out. Where there is a will,  there is a way.

     Leftists outside of the New York Times, protesting? Whatever has the politically correct world come to!
  https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jun/22/new-york-times-protest-climate-crisis-coverage

“A climate change protest orchestrated by the Extinction Rebellion activist group briefly blocked Eighth Avenue in New York on Saturday afternoon, between the Port Authority transit hub and the home of the New York Times. The New York police department (NYPD) said 70 people were arrested as they called for more effective media coverage of the dangers of climate change, in a dramatic demonstration that saw people stage a die-in in front of the newspaper building and disrupt traffic in midtown Manhattan. Two demonstrators scaled the front of the Port Authority building, which houses a major bus terminal and subway interchange, to hang a protest banner. Protesters also climbed on to the canopy outside the Times headquarters and unfurled a banner that encouraged the use of the phrase “climate emergency” instead of “climate change”. One protester, Donna Nicolino, told the Guardian she was ready to be arrested, because “we want the New York Times as well as all the other media to treat climate change as the crisis it is”. She joined a line of people with arms linked on West 40th Street and Eighth Avenue, blocking the road. The group remained until they were arrested by New York City police officers. “The lack of coverage of the climate crisis is completely unacceptable,” said Becca Trabin, a member of Extinction Rebellion’s press and fundraising teams. “It’s a public safety crisis on a global scale.”

“A migrant suspected of raping and sexually abusing a much younger girl claims that he did not know it was illegal in Sweden because no-one had told him. The suspected sexual abuse took place in April of this year at a family home with the young girl, whose exact age has not been revealed. It is alleged she was forced to have sex with the supposedly 17-year-old migrant, newspaper Lokaltidningen reports. When questioned, the migrant reportedly admitted that he had sex with the young girl but said that it had not been a crime and was just something that “happened between two children.” In an Administrative court, it was argued that while the migrant did admit to the crime he was not aware of the laws regarding sexual relations and that no-one in Sweden had taught him what the laws and expected norms were. The representative argued that the court should not proceed with a prosecution, claiming that the young man had been doing well in school and that his school progress would be harmed if he were to be prosecuted.”

     A Catholic school is charging ahead with the gender agenda, allowing boys to wear skirts, and sure they are all going to do it to be the new cool, because society tells them to:
  https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/catholic-school-in-ireland-will-allow-boy-students-to-wear-skirts

“A Catholic school in Ireland announced its new gender-neutral uniform policy for elementary-level pupils that allows girls to wear pants and boys to wear skirts starting in September. St. Brigid’s National School is located in Greystones, a small town near Dublin. The school will allow cross-dressing for its elementary students in order to confirm with transgender ideology. School principal Máire Costello said, according to the Irish Times, that the school’s student council was behind the idea, which was welcomed by the school board and parents. Costello told the paper that the school has students who are “questioning their sexual identity” at an earlier age. Even though St. Brigid’s National School is publicly funded, it’s under the ultimate authority of Dublin Archbishop Diarmuid Martin. Until the change was announced, school policy required boys to wear gray pants and a green sweater. Girls were required to wear a green tartan pinafore. Upon returning to school in September, pupils will be able to choose the clothing they like regardless of their sex.
