Communications
I want you to do an 'experiment' by turning off you phone. Next, you and your family need to turn off the radio and television, shut down your internet, stop picking up your mail and newspaper, and ... Everything else that you do to get 'information.

Next, I want you to do this for three days. This includes no talking to neighbors, watching television, listening to the radio, or surfing the internet at work. Same goes for the your children and your partner.

Lastly, ... How does it feel?

Things You Might Want to Think About

1984
In high school, I loved 1984 because ....

Air Conditioned Buses
That's one thing about these United States military. If you want to fight to the death, they'll help you die.

Note:
All this did was allow 100 to 200 trained soldiers to fight another day, in your country.

Banks
Why is this company still in business?

Expenses
Tell me, have you heard this one?

Your country borrows money to pay for current expenses. When those payments are due, the country borrow more money to pay them and your current expenses, instead of reducing your nation's spending. After doing this for years, you and your elected representatives finally realize your country need to reduce your nation's spending, so they make a budget.

A few months later, ...

Illicit Narcotics
I agree with Mr Sessions.

But, ... I disagree with the current methods of reducing the use of illicit narcotics.

Karma
Ha, ha, ha.

Minorities
Folks, ... If you are a minority in your country (with a history of being persecuted, terrorism victim, insurgency target, and other violence), you need to start planning to leave, now.

Nazis
Like any group, Nazis have different groups that advocate for different tactics to achieve the group's goals.

Well, the only problem, ...

Nazis have a habit of killing each other, especially older, less violent leaders.

Nazis, Part Two
It seems more liberals might be getting worried

Quotes
I thought this was funny and ... Frightening.

Say Uncle
It took me a little while, but I finally found a picture of the serial killer.

I wonder why; there was no mention of the case on the national media?

What?
Wow, ... It is hard to believe how delusional people can be, especially this article's writer, editors, and magazine.

First, when the Secretary of State replied, to the question about the President's values, “The president speaks for himself.” In my opinion, Mr. Tillerson was stating a fact, ... about any of us.

Second, when the Secretary of Defense stated “You’re a great example of our country right now.” then went on, “Our country, right now, it’s got problems that we don’t have in the military. You just hold the line until our country gets back to understanding and respecting each other and showing it.” to the Soldiers.

Was Mr. James Mattis really commenting about the former president's policies? How about the protests by Black Thugs Lives Matter? Or, ... The violence by leftists?

Needless to say, until we ask Mr. Tillerson and Mr. Mattis follow up questions, we'll never now.

P.S.
Did you notice, at the very bottom, the magazine is increasing their political coverage.

Where were they the last 8 years?


Overheard

"World Domination - it has a nice ring, doesn't it? Here's how to achieve it in 5 steps: ..."

"The Americans should take the dream of being able to inspect our military sites, be it under the pretext of the [agreement] or based on any other justification, to the grave," Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khameneii"

"All white people are socialized to be racist."

"Yes, it is illegal. No, it is not good for the United States. Yes, immigration should be stopped. But–if you were Eduardo, which would matter more to you, your wife and children, or some law in a remote country where, in any event, a lot of people want you to come and work? What would you do? Would it not be irresponsible not to do it?"

"There could be lines at the gas stations along the eastern seaboard in early September."

"It is remarkable that the daily prayers of every Muslim, part of the core of Islam, include a rejection of Christians and Jews as misguided and objects of Allah's wrath."

"Alt-Jew may be the only way forward for Jews in America."

"In interviews, law enforcement authorities made clear that Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric and policies — first as a candidate and then as president — helped to create a situation that has escalated so quickly and extensively that they do not have a handle on it."
