The Charleston, SC shootings have been the news lately.
As a result of the killings, there are increasing calls for the Confederate flag to be taken down in the state capital of Columbia.
This whole confederate flag/racism controversy is just yet another moldy reminder of how imbecilic US society has become.
If non-whites are so offended by the confederate flag and the negative policies and past that it represents for them, then what do Afghanis , Iraqis, and other victims of US 'regime change' think and feel when they see the US flag, and the evil is represents?
The US flag to date represents more blood, violence, pain, and carnage than the confederate flag ever will. Doesn't anyone see this?
Taking down the confederate flag won’t end racism. It will entrench it. It will only anger those who still support the flag’s display, and cause more divisions. It may even lead to future shootings, so those calling for its removal may want to think twice.
The problem here isn’t the Confederate flag and even what it represents to its opponents.
The problem here is the one that has existed in the US since the beginning, before it was even the US.
It’s the problem inherent in a multi-racial society.
Where there’s a society dominated by one type of race, and attempts are made to ship in people of other races among them, racism and racial tension is the natural and inevitable result.
It doesn't matter whether someone is racist or not; white or black.That's just the plain reality of living a multi-racial society.
No amount of feel-goods speeches, longing and praying for an ‘end to racism’ will change this.
Look what happened in S. Africa and Zimbabwe. Look what is happening in the US, and now Europe. This is the result when people, white or not, are taken out of their homeland and injected somewhere else, whether by force, bad circumstance or by choice. History shows that such experimentations don’t end well in the long-run.
It’s funny how people in South Carolina are demanding the removal of the Confederate flag. My parents were there on vacation a few years ago and saw a black guy selling confederate flags as souvenirs.
Perhaps covering the whole thing up with money may dampen tempers. This seems to be the classic US fix, even if it doesn’t work.

The 2016 El-auction
We are beginning to see the same old assorted US political class douchebags and their henchmen descend upon the TV screens with their smoke and mirrors once again, all in preparation for that ultimate dog-and-pony show called the US presidential elections.
On the Democratic side we have Hillary Clinton, the truest fake if there ever was one. Every time she opens her mouth lies come out, or nonsense babble meant to cover up her past lies and criminal behavior.
On the Republican side we have odious oddities too numerous to mention. The shit list includes creatures such as Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rick Santorum, and the most perfidious of them all, Jeb Bush, the brother of disgraced failure George W. Bush.
These people have all sold themselves to the devil so many times that I think even he is starting to have buyer’s remorse.
We are hearing the same old crap from these people. Wedge issues like guns, god, and kitschy talking points about ‘American exceptionalism,’ freedom and democracy, saving social security and Medicare, their obsessive fetish with Israel, and lowering taxes are being thrown around like used rubbers.
The same old promises, broken into billions of pieces by their predecessors, are being bandied around by these liars as a carrot over the heads of the naïve retards out there foolish enough to buy this electioneering bullshit.
The Republican side simply depends on the continued willful ignorance of the country bumpkins for their votes, and the dollars of the wealthy elites.
The Democratic side is cleverer. Hillary will talk about ‘helping the average struggling American' and creating jobs, without any hint of irony. It is, after all, filthy politicians like her who plundered the national wealth and gave it to themselves and their wealthy buddies.
So Hillary is going to pull the same trick that Obummer did in 2008. She’ll surround herself with ‘anti-establishment’ campaign advisors. She’ll ally herself with progressive organizations out there that are pro-choice on abortion, organizations that demand a higher minimum wage, for women’s rights, are pro-immigration, etc. And of course, her being a female will also be used to maximum effect.
But let there be no doubt: As happened with Obama, Hillary will exploit all these people to fool the public and drum up votes. If/when she wins the election she’ll quickly shake off all those people like fleas, just like Obummer did.
And just like Obummer, she’ll appoint the same old coterie of scumbag neo-cons, and deluded hawkish liberal interventionists like Victoria Nuland, Zbigniew Brzezinski. These people will cause further global chaos. To this fetid mix she'll add an assortment of crooked pro-Wall Street economic gurus who will further fleece the country for their own benefit.
As part of the act, these politicians will travel the country, go into diners, bowling alleys, factories, and surround themselves with people working minimum wage, old people in retirement homes, minority groups, and by anyone else good enough for a photo-op. But these people will be quickly forgotten after the election is over—unless of course they have deep pockets.
There’s nothing good to be gained by voting for any these people. They won’t fix a damn thing. As the pattern has shown, each president that comes along is definitely worse than the last one. So there’s nothing worthwhile to expect from any of them. All these candidates should come with big warning labels.
So we will have more wars, interventions, bombings, austerity, mediocre economic performance, unemployment, and all the rottenness of Washington DC, untouched.
Vote for these vermin at your own risk.

Little Talking Shop of Horrors
The leaders of western regimes are meeting in Germany for their annual elitist self-congratulatory circle-jerk known as the G7. It used to be called the G8, but Russia was kicked out for failing to be a good little slave.
The G7 conferences are useless to the 99.8% of humanity. The only thing that is discussed at this western mafia get-together is how to fleece the rest of the world on behalf of a miserable gang of filthy rich billionaires who already own more than 60% of the world’s wealth, and most of the world’s governments.
This gang is also charged with deciding who to punish for refusing to submit to their will, and how it will be done.
One thing that is a given is that every time these misfits meet, the world becomes a more violent and dangerous place. So we can expect bad things going forward.
Judging from their past meetings and their consequences, what will these bought-and-paid-for sell-outs be discussing this year?
Some things may be:
-How to further punish Russian President Vladimir Putin for disobeying the will of the western criminal cartel, and daring to stand up to, and successfully shake off, all attempts at bankrupting and destabilizing Russia by the US mafia bosses and their EU henchmen.
-How to provoke more violence and tension in Ukraine by using their newest stable pack mule Poroshenko and his fascist-minded vermin and other incompetents to provoke Russia.
-How to speed-up regime change in Iran, Russia, or Syria by staging a convincing violent false-flag that can be blamed on any these countries (or all three).
-How to pump people full of fear to justify illegal and intrusive spying programs, take away more rights, and crackdown on dissent.
-How to financially fleece more working people for the benefit of their billionaire bosses by passing the Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement.
-How to carve up the Mideast by using their proxy ISIS forces to take over more cities and overthrow governments the US Empire doesn’t like.
-How to spin and exploit the FIFA corruption scandal to punish their adversaries, but in such a way that any corruption leading back to US and its vassal states is omitted, covered up, or excused by employing gratuitous amounts of sleazy and hypocritical PR, propaganda, or broken self-serving logic (this will most likely prove to be one of the hardest tasks for the G7 clowns this year).
-How to destabilize Greece further by refusing to compromise on its debt payments, and make plans for the quick overthrow/disgrace of the Syriza government should Greece have the courage to say ‘No!’ to any further economic and financial rape of the country. This will also be done to stop Greece from working with Russia on the Blue Stream project which would see Russian energy pipelines going through Greek territory.
There‘s no doubt these things or at least some of them will be discussed by the G7 mafia--behind closed doors, of course (transparency is something that the US empire only demands from its adversaries, not itself or its allies).
They certainly don’t have time for unimportant nonsense like cutting down on pollution, addressing economic inequality and rising poverty, raising the minimum wage, fighting and preventing widespread financial corruption in their midst, or disarmament. There’s no money in it for them and their billionaire bankster masters in doing any of that.
Another year, another useless G7. Garbage in, more garbage out.

Football Madness
The revelations about corruption within FIFA have been big news since last week.
Suddenly, everyone is surprised that there’s corruption within one of the world’s major and most profitable sports enterprises.
If anyone thinks that FIFA is the exception rather than the rule, then they’re deluding themselves. Wherever there’s a huge pile of money, there will be corruption to some degree.
There’s definitely corruption within the Olympics, the NFL, NBA, just to name a few. The NFL operates as a non-profit organization. Yes, this is a fact. The NFL makes billions of dollars in profits, yet bilks the taxpayers for billions more. If this isn’t institutionalized corruption, then nothing is.
And which country outed this FIFA corruption?
None other than the 110% Godly and all-holy US-- the land where corruption is not only endemic, but deeply institutionalized and legalized.
Let’s take a look at a few: From allowing the wealthy to buy candidates and elections, illegal torture, secret wiretapping of its own population as well as those of other countries, rendition, lying the country into an illegal and unnecessary wars (Iraq in 2003), massive-scale financial fraud and theft by Wall St. banks where no one saw jail time but only token, symbolic fines, massive theft of taxpayer money by private corporations, and a lot more—see this.
So when taking into account the FACT that the US is thoroughly rotted out by corruption, seeing it try to fight corruption anywhere else is synonymous to using a shit-stained mop to clean a dirty floor. It’s hypocrisy on steroids, with a dose of crack-cocaine.
If the US wants to go after serious corruption, then there’s certainly more than enough of it at home to keep the FBI and district attorneys busy for at least the next fifty years.
There’s no doubt that the whole investigation is politicized.
The reasons are:
1. The US has been angry/jealous with Russia’s selection as the host of the 2018 World Cup, and has been seeking to take this honor away in some way. The US is also frustrated that all the false accusations, sanctions, threats, and other moves to cripple Russia economically and politically have failed.
2. These FIFA corruption revelations also come at a very convenient time for the Zionist shit-pit (Israel), who at the same time was facing expulsion from FIFA and exclusion from all soccer tournaments due to that state’s racist and restrictive treatment against Palestinian players, and the sponsoring of teams which are based on occupied Palestinian territories.
3. US influence, wealth, and power is waning. More countries are turning away from it, and forming their own institutions and partnerships that threaten US hegemony over the globe. The US is desperate to maintain this hegemony and keep its rivals down by whatever means it can find. It definitely seeks to highjack FIFA, staff it with its own compliant creatures, and make the organization a tool of US control. The US is certainly scraping the bottom of the barrel by using FIFA corruption as an imperial life-preserver. If it succeeds, then no World Cup games will ever be allowed in countries which do not bow down to the US. This we can be 100% sure of.
There’s no doubt that this entire FIFA corruption affair has been stirred up by the US for purely political reasons. This corruption has been going on for decades, yet it’s now that this is being exposed? This is not a coincidence, it’s deliberate.
The US is also overstepping its boundaries by demanding extradition of non-US citizens for trial to the US, when those people hadn’t committed any crime on US soil. That they indirectly/remotely used a facility within the US to do so doesn't give the US the right to seize these people and bring them to the US for trial. Present the evidence to the country from which the accused are from, and let the law-enforcement officials there bring those individuals to justice.
But this so-called investigation into FIFA corruption will probably go the way of the MH17 one, because as soon as evidence comes up that implicates the US, a major US corporation, or one of their vassal states, all will get very quiet, and no one will do anything more.
Ultimately it will come to this, and either the US has to watch itself or its slaves get locked up and disgraced, or sweep it all under the rug to save their miserable hides. If the US foolishly thinks it can cherry-pick who to implicate, investigate, and bring in, then it won't get anywhere. If it tries to do just that, the US will end up embarrassing itself, and will cause way more mess within FIFA than any of this corruption did.
So go ahead, team USA. Shoot yourself in the foot, for the umpteenth time!

ISIS - Made in the USA
ISIS has been running amok Syria and Iraq for two years now. The militant group has recently captured the Iraqi city of Ramadi, the capital of Anbar province, and has gained control of thousands of US-provided US military vehicles and other weapons, including M1A2 Abrams tanks.
Yet the US stubbornly refuses to join forces with Syria, Iran, and Russia to fight ISIS. Why is that?
Since the US and its so-called ‘coalition’ got involved in fighting ISIS, that group’s successes have multiplied. Why is that?
Either the US military is ran by totally inept morons who don’t know what they’re doing (which is a tempting conclusion judging from the abysmal failures in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya), or this was deliberately planned by the US.
Let’s notice some particular developments since the summer of 2013 that support the conclusion that ISIS is a US-sponsored proxy army deployed against US adversaries in the region:
1. In September 2013 the US failed to get the UN and its allies to bomb Syria on the pretext that the Syrian government gassed their own people, even though the evidence for this was highly-questionable. Widespread public opposition to this put enough pressure on the US government to roll back their war talk.
2. Not long after this failed US Syria bombing plot, we see ISIS suddenly pop-up on the scene in Iraq and Syria. The group immediately starts to grow larger and more powerful. It soon overpowers and absorbs other groups, moderate or not.
3. Acts of violence and barbarity by the ISIS militants stir worldwide public outrage, and calls for a military intervention against ISIS are heard. The US immediately steps in as the ring-leader. This ‘coalition’ also gives itself a mandate to bomb Syrian territory without any permission or coordination with the Syrian government (quite convenient!)
4. Right after the US gets involved, strange things start happening. ISIS grows stronger, captures more territory, becomes flush with weapons, and make significant territorial gains.
5. Strange anomalies are witnessed. US/British helicopters are caught by Iraqi army dropping arms and other aid inside ISIS-controlled territory; ISIS supplies being trucked in from Turkey.
6. ISIS also spreads into Yemen right on que as Saudi Arabia starts bombing the country, with US support. ISIS is also spreading in Libya. Other nearby countries start seeing ISIS form within their borders.
It seems like the more the US ‘helps’ to fight ISIS the stronger ISIS gets.
Only an idiot would be unable to put two-and-two together and see what is clearly going on:
Failing to lie the world into another Syrian regime change bombing based on a false-flag gas attack staged by US-allied rebels in Syria, and blamed on the Syrian government, the US decided to create a proxy terrorist super-force, ISIS, to scare and shock the world.
The US then used the group’s atrocities to rally public outrage and disgust and prompted calls for someone to ‘do something.’
Right on que, the US and its puppets take on the role of ‘defenders’ against ISIS and start bombing Syrian territory.
This bombing has only increased the success of ISIS against regional US rivals, Bashar Assad of Syria, the Shiite-dominated pro-Iranian government of Iraq, Yemeni Houthi movement, and in the near future, Iran.
By arming, training and supporting ISIS through deception and subterfuge, the US managed to create a violent proxy force which is fighting US enemies for them, and also serving as a great justification for direct US involvement so they can ‘speed things up,’ unhindered by a skeptical and war-weary public.
Directly or indirectly, ISIS is a US product.

What If . . .
Last Sunday, May 9, 2015, marked the 70th anniversary of the Russian victory over the Nazis in 1945.
The victory parade on Red Square featured an impressive array of new Russian military gear and aircraft that has definitely put the US and NATO on notice that Russia is back.
Ironically, representatives from the US and most EU countries boycotted the proceedings, but some did attend, to their credit.
Whether the non-attendance of those who didn’t show up was caused by guilt or jealousy we can only speculate, but in the spirit of the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory, I’d like to take a look at what could’ve happened if Nazi Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, was successful, and the Russian people were totally defeated.
After a resounding victory, the German army marches into Moscow and takes over the seat of power in the Kremlin. Other major Russian cities follow.
Immediately, former members of the Soviet government and military high command still at large are sought, captured, and executed. Pro-German Russian functionaries are put in charge in government posts throughout Russia.
The new Nazi masters of Russia then move on to pacify a hostile population by terror, mass imprisonment, massacres and executions of resistance groups--with the aid of Russians sympathetic to Nazi Germany.
Those unrepentant Russians who continue to fight Germany and their Russian collaborators are called terrorists. They're arrested, and sent to internment camps where they are worked to death, tortured, starved, and executed. Millions of Russians perish in this way.
Germany inherits the vast Russian landmass for farming, bountiful oil fields, and rich mineral deposits. With these resources, Nazi Germany is able to carry on their armed campaign unhindered. Asia is now open to them.
On the European front, things go from bad to worse.
The German military machine, flush with victory and abundant resources from conquered Russia, now consolidates its control over other defeated European nations.
Poland’s western lands, East Prussia and Danzig are now German. All Poles from these formerly Polish lands have a choice: full Germanization and renunciation of their Polish identity or repatriation back to the small patch of land which comprises the Polish General Government entity, totally under German control, or maybe with a pro-German Polish Quizling as its figurehead.
Since Germany’s racial theory considers the Slavs as an inferior people, these populations are turned into slave labor. Millions of them are separated from their families by force. They’re sent to factories in Germany to create armaments and other equipment to feed the German war machine. Some are packed into cattle cars and shipped to Russia to mine minerals and chop down forests for the greater glory of Hitler’s Nazi Germany. The same fate is shared by Czechs, Russians, and other untermenschen.
The Czech Republic is forever made part of German territory. Czech place names and identity are rooted out and destroyed.
Western and Southern Europe fares a bit better, but is turned into an amalgamation of pro-German satellite states.
Mussolini continues to reign in Italy. Tito's forces are defeated, as well as ELLAS in Greece along with the French resistance.
Pro-German regimes and governments in Finland, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Baltic states, Yugoslavia and elsewhere thrive and are 'advised' and supplied by Germany to consolidate their power and suppress all communist and nationalist opposition.
France’s Vichy government sings a permanent treaty with Germany which slices half of France away and gives it to Germany.
Spain’s Francisco Franco stays on and becomes Hitler’s willing comrade, and even aids in Hitler’s campaigns in attacking and repressing populations in other nations.
Great Britain, seeing that with Russia’s vast natural resources in German hands, any further resistance is futile and suicidal. Wanting to preserve the British Empire from any future German encroachment, and fearing an all-out invasion of the British Isles and a total takeover by Germany, the British Prime Minister decides to cut Britain's losses and makes a pact with Hitler. Hitler accepts, and Great Britain is left alone, but is now a loyal subordinate of Germany (just like today Great Britain is a loyal subordinate of the US).
The US, shuddering from Hitler’s successes, and facing the loss of billions of dollars of private investments of its corporations’ European subsidiaries, not to mention fearing the loss of unpaid debts from its WWI allies, decides to make the best of it and signs a treaty with Nazi Germany.
After the US reaches an arrangement with Germany, Japan (who is Germany’s ally) sees no need to bomb Pearl Harbor. They also unleash their campaign of terror across Asia, especially China, and cause untold misery and death. With no US troops to worry about, the Japanese make quick work of the Philippines and other hold-outs, turning them either into conquered peoples’ or vassal states.
Mao Zedong never achieves victory, and China falls under a pro-Japanese quisling, or is possibly shared with the Germans who link up with their Japanese allies in Siberia. Massacres follow, which makes the rape of Nanking and earlier atrocities look like a dress-rehearsal.
Once the war campaign is over, a victorious and much wealthier Germany embarks on a colonization campaign of the Baltic States and Russia. German settlers (squatters) are enticed with free land, money, and two Slavic slaves in every house, to move to Russia and setup shop.
Germans enthusiastically respond to the offer, and in a few decades millions of German citizens now reside in Russia. They take all the valuable land, and Russians become second class citizens in their own country.
And the Jews? Well, just use your imagination.
With Russia conquered, the US mollified and neutralized, and the rest of Europe serving as German satellite states, Hitler and the Nazis are the masters of Europe.
Germany’s wealth, industry, military and economic power grows exponentially. Germany becomes the chief world power.
With no major resistance from Russia, and no Normandy landings, there’s no one powerful enough to resist. Whoever does is quickly put down with very little effort.
Nazi Germany thrives into the future and the NSDAP rules Germany to this day, in 2015.
Is this the kind of scenario any of you would prefer, especially those of you who came from countries which suffered the most under the Nazi occupation?
Is this alternate reality preferable to 40-50 years of communist domination? Which do you think is worse?
To those in Eastern Europe who today spew vitriol and hate against Russia, insult, denigrate, ridicule and issue all sorts of bigoted and veiled racist epitaphs against Russians, would you really prefer if Russia was defeated and destroyed by the Nazis?
For those of you who do, I say this: you are hopeless and sick human beings!
For those of you who may dare to call such a German victory a ‘liberation,’ I say that you are naïve, intellectually blind, and an insult to human civilization.
While not excusing the sins of the Soviet Union, being liberated by the Soviets, and even spending 40-50 years as a communist state, was certainly a much better alternative to the one I described.
Unlike Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union didn’t see the Poles, Czechs, Romanians, and others as racially inferior subhumans. The Red Army itself was comprised of every sort of ethnicity found within the Soviet Union.
The Russians didn't wipe Poland or Czechoslovakia off the map. They didn't enforce Russification after the war. Yes, the Soviet Union did absorb the Baltic states because those states were allied with Hitler.
Soviet Russia sacrificed more than any other nation that fought the Nazis. The US, British and other allied efforts amounted to a small pittance of what the Russians gave. That’s why Russia deserves the most credit for WWII victory.
Not admitting this, while insulting and belittling the amazing Russian contributions during WWII is tantamount to wishing that Nazi Germany won.
It all couldv'e turned out so much worse for Europe and others if Russia didn't play the role it did in WW2.
This makes one wonder: how would've things turned out IF in the 1930s western European countries, as well as Eastern ones like Poland, listened to the Soviet Union and took it up on its offer of forming an alliance against Hitler. Would Hitler even dare to invade Poland and launch WW2? In all probability, he would not.
This leaves the Russophobic countries today with some serious soul-searching and reflecting to do as to their own faults for the outbreak of that disastrous war, as well as its aftermath.
The victory parade on Red Square featured an impressive array of new Russian military gear and aircraft that has definitely put the US and NATO on notice that Russia is back.
Ironically, representatives from the US and most EU countries boycotted the proceedings, but some did attend, to their credit.
Whether the non-attendance of those who didn’t show up was caused by guilt or jealousy we can only speculate, but in the spirit of the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory, I’d like to take a look at what could’ve happened if Nazi Germany’s invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, was successful, and the Russian people were totally defeated.
***
After a resounding victory, the German army marches into Moscow and takes over the seat of power in the Kremlin. Other major Russian cities follow.
Immediately, former members of the Soviet government and military high command still at large are sought, captured, and executed. Pro-German Russian functionaries are put in charge in government posts throughout Russia.
The new Nazi masters of Russia then move on to pacify a hostile population by terror, mass imprisonment, massacres and executions of resistance groups--with the aid of Russians sympathetic to Nazi Germany.
Those unrepentant Russians who continue to fight Germany and their Russian collaborators are called terrorists. They're arrested, and sent to internment camps where they are worked to death, tortured, starved, and executed. Millions of Russians perish in this way.
Germany inherits the vast Russian landmass for farming, bountiful oil fields, and rich mineral deposits. With these resources, Nazi Germany is able to carry on their armed campaign unhindered. Asia is now open to them.
On the European front, things go from bad to worse.
The German military machine, flush with victory and abundant resources from conquered Russia, now consolidates its control over other defeated European nations.
Poland’s western lands, East Prussia and Danzig are now German. All Poles from these formerly Polish lands have a choice: full Germanization and renunciation of their Polish identity or repatriation back to the small patch of land which comprises the Polish General Government entity, totally under German control, or maybe with a pro-German Polish Quizling as its figurehead.
Since Germany’s racial theory considers the Slavs as an inferior people, these populations are turned into slave labor. Millions of them are separated from their families by force. They’re sent to factories in Germany to create armaments and other equipment to feed the German war machine. Some are packed into cattle cars and shipped to Russia to mine minerals and chop down forests for the greater glory of Hitler’s Nazi Germany. The same fate is shared by Czechs, Russians, and other untermenschen.
The Czech Republic is forever made part of German territory. Czech place names and identity are rooted out and destroyed.
Western and Southern Europe fares a bit better, but is turned into an amalgamation of pro-German satellite states.
Mussolini continues to reign in Italy. Tito's forces are defeated, as well as ELLAS in Greece along with the French resistance.
Pro-German regimes and governments in Finland, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Baltic states, Yugoslavia and elsewhere thrive and are 'advised' and supplied by Germany to consolidate their power and suppress all communist and nationalist opposition.
France’s Vichy government sings a permanent treaty with Germany which slices half of France away and gives it to Germany.
Spain’s Francisco Franco stays on and becomes Hitler’s willing comrade, and even aids in Hitler’s campaigns in attacking and repressing populations in other nations.
Great Britain, seeing that with Russia’s vast natural resources in German hands, any further resistance is futile and suicidal. Wanting to preserve the British Empire from any future German encroachment, and fearing an all-out invasion of the British Isles and a total takeover by Germany, the British Prime Minister decides to cut Britain's losses and makes a pact with Hitler. Hitler accepts, and Great Britain is left alone, but is now a loyal subordinate of Germany (just like today Great Britain is a loyal subordinate of the US).
The US, shuddering from Hitler’s successes, and facing the loss of billions of dollars of private investments of its corporations’ European subsidiaries, not to mention fearing the loss of unpaid debts from its WWI allies, decides to make the best of it and signs a treaty with Nazi Germany.
Remember, D-Day never
happens since the Germans, who have not been severely weakened by Russia, didn’t
need to commit the bulk of their army to the eastern front. As a result, the
Germans still have formidable forces in Western Europe that can easily repel
any invasion attempt.
After the US reaches an arrangement with Germany, Japan (who is Germany’s ally) sees no need to bomb Pearl Harbor. They also unleash their campaign of terror across Asia, especially China, and cause untold misery and death. With no US troops to worry about, the Japanese make quick work of the Philippines and other hold-outs, turning them either into conquered peoples’ or vassal states.
Mao Zedong never achieves victory, and China falls under a pro-Japanese quisling, or is possibly shared with the Germans who link up with their Japanese allies in Siberia. Massacres follow, which makes the rape of Nanking and earlier atrocities look like a dress-rehearsal.
Once the war campaign is over, a victorious and much wealthier Germany embarks on a colonization campaign of the Baltic States and Russia. German settlers (squatters) are enticed with free land, money, and two Slavic slaves in every house, to move to Russia and setup shop.
Germans enthusiastically respond to the offer, and in a few decades millions of German citizens now reside in Russia. They take all the valuable land, and Russians become second class citizens in their own country.
And the Jews? Well, just use your imagination.
With Russia conquered, the US mollified and neutralized, and the rest of Europe serving as German satellite states, Hitler and the Nazis are the masters of Europe.
Germany’s wealth, industry, military and economic power grows exponentially. Germany becomes the chief world power.
With no major resistance from Russia, and no Normandy landings, there’s no one powerful enough to resist. Whoever does is quickly put down with very little effort.
Nazi Germany thrives into the future and the NSDAP rules Germany to this day, in 2015.
***
Is this the kind of scenario any of you would prefer, especially those of you who came from countries which suffered the most under the Nazi occupation?
Is this alternate reality preferable to 40-50 years of communist domination? Which do you think is worse?
To those in Eastern Europe who today spew vitriol and hate against Russia, insult, denigrate, ridicule and issue all sorts of bigoted and veiled racist epitaphs against Russians, would you really prefer if Russia was defeated and destroyed by the Nazis?
For those of you who do, I say this: you are hopeless and sick human beings!
For those of you who may dare to call such a German victory a ‘liberation,’ I say that you are naïve, intellectually blind, and an insult to human civilization.

What Does the Future Hold?
The limited intelligence and imagination of the pro-US/western/NATO Russophobes and chauvinists just cannot comprehend and accept the ultimate and undeniable FACT: that US influence, wealth, and power is declining.
The signs are all around us. New, non-western-based economic partnerships are forming which will change the way things are done in the world.
But the US bully who has been getting its way for half a century is having a hard time accepting and adjusting to these monumental changes. To stave off the inevitable, the desperate US regime lashes out at everyone, blindly and irresponsibly, in order to cling to their waning power. But the current US aggressive behavior is just a death rattle; a phenomenon akin to narcotic withdrawal.
In 15-20 years, barring any US initiated worldwide military conflagration, the world will be different, and the US will be just a regional power at best, but not in any way a world power, ever again. No one has their place in the sun forever. The Greeks, Romans, Turks, Britons and Russians have learned this. They went through this cycle, and the US is starting to do so.
But the good thing is that when the US finally accepts its new position it could lead to the US reforming itself and becoming a more responsible, civilized and respected member of the international community.
So what’s to come for the US in this new reality?
I can think of two main scenarios that will cause momentous and permanent changes in the US. These changes will be either peripherally or internally-caused.
Whichever it will be, there’s no doubt that the first victims of these changes will be the EU and NATO alliances.
Peripheral Changes
US imperial-military overstretch will eventually exhaust its resources, and that of its allies. This process is already underway. Let’s not forget that the EU is going through economic convulsions.
If these two processes continue, and it looks like they will, we may see mass upheavals against US vassal state governments in the EU, which are the bedrock of US power overseas. Governments in these countries will be replaced with ones that are more nationalistic and which will undoubtedly and permanently cut themselves off from US control and influence. We can already see this starting to happen with the popularity of nationalist, Euro/US skeptic parties winning elections in EU countries.
The negative fallout for EU economies due to the Washington-forced anti-Russian sanctions is also driving more nations away from the US.
This detachment will lead to dramatic changes in these formerly US-vassal states. These countries will distance themselves from destructive US policies and join Eastern economic blocs and partnerships such as BRICS, EEU, and possibly SCO and others. They may form their own economic blocs, free from US influence, and partner with Euro-Asiatic ones.
Those US-vassal states intent on staying ‘with the US’ will face two choices: further social and political upheaval, and violence driven by economic factors. This will in turn bring about a dictatorial form of government, unaccountable to the people, followed by its eventual overthrow and replacement by one that distances itself from the US and breaks from the stale and outdated US-driven ‘Atlanticist consensus.’
Or even without immediate violent upheavals, these countries will face increasing economic stagnation and isolation due to the waning power of the US, the loss of US influence and control over other European countries, and the growth of other, non-US-led economic blocs. But even in this situation the patience of the populations in these countries will wear thin and they’ll demand changes which will end up with leaving the Washington consensus sooner or later.
Internal Changes
US imperial overstretch, and the growth of rival economic blocs will erode US wealth and influence.
US tries to manipulate financial markets and enacts sanctions against rival economic powers.
The dollar is dumped as international reserve and oil trading currency. The US economy falters. The US will no longer be able to finance its wars and the bribing of vassal states.
China and other creditors stop loaning US money and call in their debts.
US economy grows worse. Prices go up. Credit becomes extremely expensive. Jobs evaporate. Incomes disappear.
US military bases overseas become isolated islands surrounded by angry and hostile populations.
Social unrest follows. Masses of unemployed and hungry people stage mass rallies. The government can’t or won’t help them.
People get angry and desperate. Unrest and violence begins in cities.
Martial law is declared. Military is brought into the streets.
Militant groups attack government buildings. Towns, counties, states and regions rebel.
Long dormant American separatist movements come out and gain influence.
US military is unable to cope with the unrest or refuses to kill their own people. US soldiers desert in droves.
US-vassal states, seeing the US is in a state of imminent collapse, and to stave off the same, defect en masse for better socio-economic waters.
Without its allies and economic position, the US is now isolated.
At this point, either a civil war ensues within the US, or the US govt. is quickly overthrown and a new one comes into being. It may also fracture into independent statelets and/or regions.
Whatever the case, US permanently loses its status as a world power.
Its empire of military bases crumbles and is liquidated.
Aftermath and Options
US is forced to seek and beg for help and inclusion from new economic powers, which grant it, with strings attached.
The US could choose to go for broke and use nuclear weapons to destroy its rivals, but the threat of retaliation would make such a move suicidal; a nuke-free, conventional war even more so.
US could exploit pro-US non-NATO puppet regimes to launch proxy wars against its rivals, but as we’ve seen in Georgia in 2008 and recently in Ukraine, such an option doesn’t work since these countries are too small and weak to succeed, even with US training and arms. The US, as a rule, won’t get directly and visibly involved to help them either, as that would mean possibly committing themselves to a war with Russia or China. Since both of these nations are nuclear powers, this is not an option.
A better, and in fact the best way for the US to move forward is to accept its limitations, roll back its wasteful and destructive wars and policies, and make partnerships and alliances with countries now—alliances and partnerships based on equality, respect and consensus, not bribery, threats and force. This formula isn’t working anymore, and will fail in the long-run. The US use of NATO to pressure and threaten Russia is a prime example of this futile and failing policy.
The US has only two choices: lose some now or lose a lot more later. There’s no win-win here for the US anymore.
It’s time for the US to take a graceful bow, recede into the background in a quiet, dignified and respectful manner, and salvage something out of its failures and blunders.
