Ex-PFC ChuckParticipant
Here’s a working link for the Whitehead “DHS Grooming” piece:

It’s 300 or so miles from the SD hotspot in Sioux Falls, SD.
Ex-PFC ChuckParticipantFrom the Kunstler piece on Adam Schiff as the new face of the Democratic Party: “This grubby seditionist has marched the party into a wilderness of deceit and knavery that taints them all . . ”
Not true! The Democratic Party has been in that wilderness of deceit and knavery for over a quarter of a century.Ex-PFC ChuckParticipantRe: “Of course the next issue must be that neither truly represent either party. They’re [Trump & Sanders} both ‘outsiders’ who’ve taken over existing -but failing- structures.
Not correct in the case of Sanders. He has the support of much of what had once been the Democratic Party grass roots, but not national party apparatus. Earlier this month the Democratic National Committee was purged of most of its Sanders supporters.
Ex-PFC ChuckParticipantTAE is one of the two sites I check on first thing every morning. I’ll turn 78 later this year and thankfully am still in good physical health. I believe one reason relatively few young people read sites like this is that many are busy with their careers and what limited time is left over is devoted to family. I know I was that way from my late 20s until about age 60, when both my wife and myself found ourselves unexpectedly out of the full time work force. That was early in the new millennium. Then 9/11 came along which I took personally since my daughter’s place of employment that day was One World Trade Center. Fortunately she was late leaving for work that day and didn’t catch her usual bus. The one she caught ten minutes later was on East Broadway about a half a mile away from the WTC when AA 11 hit her building. She was able to call us immediately after her bus stopped so we were lucky to know she was OK right away. That event, plus the additional time I had working only part time, reignited the interest in history and current affairs I’d had when young. Plus by then I had begun to question what we were being fed by the media. The run up to the Iraq war destroyed whatever respect I still had for the MSM. I don’t recall how I found TAE but I’ve been surfing here daily for at least five years. Other sites that I go to daily are Naked Capitalism, New Economic Perspectives, Ian Welsh, and Sic Semper Tyrannis. The last is invaluable regarding events in the Middle East. Like others here, I shudder when contemplating what life is likely to be for my three 40 something children and my three single digit grand daughters if they’re fortunate (or perhaps unfortunate) enough to reach my age.
Ex-PFC ChuckParticipantWas Greece Set Up to Fail?
Per Washingtons blog, channeling a Greg Palast piece in The Guardian a while back, it wasn’t Greece that was set up to fail, but the entire Euro project, and to do so in such a way as to allow Germany & friends to crush the weaker members of the currency union. Greece just happens to be the first in line.

“NUDELMAN’S NEW WAR, NULAND’S NEMESIS – WILL GREECE, OR WON’T GREECE BE DESTROYED TO SAVE HER FROM RUSSIA, LIKE UKRAINE?”
https://johnhelmer.net/?p=13712Ex-PFC ChuckParticipantImportant post at Vinyard of the Saker regarding the Greece connection to the geo-political struggle between the US Deep State and the emergent BRICS axis, as focused on the pipeline routes for moving Russian gas to European Union countries.
April 8, 2015 at 3:13 pm in reply to: Russia’s Central Bank Governor Is Way Smarter Than Ours #20394Ex-PFC ChuckParticipantIt’s my understanding that estimates of the percentage of German battle deaths that occurred on the Eastern Front range from about 70% to 93%. The exact figure is unknown because Wehrmacht record keeping collapsed in the last weeks of the war.
