Enco,

I could not get the first link. I suspect the second is related to enemy of my enemy but just a guess.

I wonder how the prop bets odds are for overthrow regime and what form of government in its wake?

Both links worked from my end. Try again.

“The enemy of an enemy” still makes no sense to me because as the history of Jews and…[Read more]

Lots of talk and ink about sleeper cells and lone wolves.

So far it is major minor and probably in keeping with general rate of Islamic terrorism. As to whether it will become a major factor i can’t say but it would be a bad move from perspective of Muslim Brotherhood.

The Bros are Sunni. Islamic Iran is Shia but they both hate the west, US…[Read more]

Now I’m confused. The President of Kurdistan offered his condolences on the death of Khamenei. Does this mean an internecine civil war among Kurds?

Fun Fact when debating with theists:

Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the only woman named in the Qur’an and has a chapter named after her as she is considered one of the greatest women in Islam. Mary is mentioned in the Qur’an more often than Mary is mentioned in the New Testament.

In the Qur’an the name “Jesus” is mentioned more often than the…[Read more]

Podcast: Trump’s War with Iran.

Sooo, Frank…How ’bout that End of History and The Last Man? Didn’t account for deranged Ayatollahs and equally deranged Populists, huh? You got a copy? I need a door stop.

Five persistent “Zombie Facts” that should be allowed to finally die.

Uh, ackshuyally, things that aren’t true are not facts. Calling them “facts,” let alone “zombie facts,” simply assures that they literally won’t die.

And the examples given are really weak. If a Toothpick Fish is the size of a thumbnail, it’s not getting even near a u…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg!!

Have a great week!

I strive for ends and means that are consistent. If the goal is getting Trump out of office, Amendments 22 and 25 are the way to go.

As for Nazism and Communism, they were more symbiotic than most suppose. They and their predecessors both shared the same Totalitarian hatred of Classical Liberalism and Capitalism. The Socal Democrats also…[Read more]

Enco it occurs to me you are a purist.

You will form principles and are forever beholden no matter the outcome of doing so.

Did you know that the Nazis could have been defeated if the communist party and the social democratic party had formed a coalition. But their antipathy for one another was greater than their fear of Nazism. Purity in…[Read more]

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things does not belong.

Between this:

Go to Federal Court now and get a declaratory judgment regarding the two terms amendment. Once the court affirms the plain meaning broadcast that declaratory judgment and announce to America that this is America and not even Trump is above the…

“There is a paradox. Dictators will always lie about what they have done but very often they will tell you exactly what they will do. So you better believe them.”

Kasparov whose predictions on Putin and Ukraine panned out and thinks the future of US is tied to the midterms. Timely listen.

But there is no constitutional provision that allows a president to suspend the Constitution or cancel elections indefinitely.

I’m not claiming he or his gang can do either of these.

Agree Enco,

Obama was a complete fuck up in the middle east.

How many tens of thousand died because of his policy?

And the failure to recognize Islam, what it is, what is its nature, what does it do?Pathetic.
