Debt Rattle July 5 2026

On the 4th, having read some on the revolution, etc about it, first, American history is far deeper than you’d imagine. The Revolution started in 1750s, a generation before. But also we had the first Boston Revolution nearly 100 years before. They also weren’t religious in a sense: it’s a myth that essentially claims on town in New England was all America at the same time they ALSO claim all America was a coastal South Carolina plantation. No. There was a lot going on, from a lot of nations.
But what I thought helped was to look at it as the Colonists were just asking for good government. That’s it. It wasn’t some extravagant request. It was hardly even that the King was too tyrannical. Certainly he was a cream puff by today’s standards of central control. But there were specific problems in the States that needed addressing. Like, normal, average stuff. And every time they asked somebody to pay attention and fix it, they wouldn’t. Or go mental on them with extra, unrelated, or taxes raised for the stuff. …And this was a generations, as I said from the 1750s. 18th c politics is Byzantine.

And they tried everything. Every colony. Years, every strategy, plea, arm-twisting, intrigue, stunt, or entreaty. Nothing. And by 1776 nothing was GOING to get done either. Neither Parliament nor the King had a flicker of motion, even at the brink of revolution. It was the same at home or the other colonies too. Parliament couldn’t solve deadly problems in like Essex, much less distant colonies they didn’t know anything about. If I’m not mistaken, half the time the Colonies’ letters were left unread or addressed like 9 months late.

And maybe that’s how these things go: the Roman Emperor had the same problem at the end, that’s why he became a duo, then a Triumvirate. He’s supposed to be delegating, but as no one could be trustworthy, all power was centralized, he was awake 20 hours a day dealing with like minor hippie prophets from Damascus, as you remember Paul – just some dumb guy – demanded to see the Emperor personally as his Roman right.

But what resulted was the old phrase:

“Give me Liberty or…
…Or I’ll get up and damn well get it myself.” I mean, really.

That’s also how the war went: as they got his attention, he threw incredible troops and great generals at us. ….And then promptly forgot again, doing nothing. Problems weren’t fixed. Governors didn’t straighten up. Campaigns were barely prosecuted. So all Washington and Hamilton had to do was not die, as you see in the musical. Keep costing them on a Capitalist Profit/Loss basis.

So at any point that’s all England had to do, and for (another) 10 or 20 years they didn’t or couldn’t.

Nor did this stop after the war. Britain signed a treaty but then acted like they didn’t and it was a temporary delay in recapturing the Colonies again. So the war of 1812 was merely them taking the next battle after Yorktown 30 years too late. England just felt, believed, acted, as if the Colonies never left, and they just came back to take them again. (And again in 1913)

…But by then the United States were too large. Geographically, as England’s entire army was diluted to raindrops on the size of the American coast, but also the population of this one colony was larger than the combined population of Britain, and still rising fast. Which was the basic problem in 1775 but that’s another story.

So conclusion: America just came to rule ourselves because England WOULDN’T, not because they did. They stepped into a vacuum, not a Tyranny, although that’s complicated and hard to believe. And the story makes a lot more sense that way.

This is of course a parallel to today’s government.

It can’t do anything, and what it does do is wrong. We need to govern ourselves, having tried everything else.

But like 1776, that’s a slow realization we each need to have, with someone to poke them daily, the Judges and Congress, and create that (True) story, so we’ll take matters into our own hands, not leave a government vacuum.

…Which is the plan of the Communists (who are actually oligarchs, just as Mamdani is, Hasan is, Soros and Murdock are). Cloward Pivon: crash the existing government with over burden, make them seem incapably, then be the first to grab the instruments of power. Yeah, no. That’s not how it works here. That’s how it works in Europe but not here.

socialism or capitalism

It’s my story and I’m no changing my mind.

the most obviously failed ideology in the history of the world.

“While 85 percent of Republicans and 40 percent of independents said that they would not vote for socialists, 62 percent of Democrats said that they would.”

America turns 250. How much does it owe Russia?
The forgotten story of how the Russian Empire helped the US survive two defining crises
Published 4 Jul, 2026
Yet the history of the United States was never written by Americans alone. Foreign allies, rivals, and unexpected partners all left their mark on the nation’s story.

Among them was the Russian Empire.

Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”
Every lecture. Every textbook. Every framework ever written. Free on any screen in any country right now. The entire knowledge monopoly collapsed in a decade. Nobody updated the price tag.
8 billion people now carry the same library in their pocket. The one these institutions charged a lifetime of debt to access.

The only product the university still sells is the belief that you need one.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, in a meeting with the Lebanese delegation, vowed to revenge Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei and free all Muslims from USraeli oppression (sources: IRNA, Fars, Mehr – all emphasis mine):

There is no doubt that avenging the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution means nothing other than liberating all Muslims from the oppression and injustice of the United States and the Zionist regime.
