Ok. This is the second relationship I had after divorce. I had a marriage that was sexless for the last two years, and a constant fight to get it once a month. At the end, I lost 40 lbs, was severely depressed and thought my life was over. Sometimes you have to go through the fire. Life is good. I use the second relationship, because the first one was a rebound. I thought I was really in love with this one. Grab a drink, sit back and follow me on my journey. I hope I don’t run out of room. It’s fairly lengthy.

The First “One”. <Snort!>

Number 1: Pro: Great sex, she loved giving blowjobs, Hot, affectionate, sexy, good sense of humor, Love Bomber, made me feel like I was king of the world.

Con: S~~~ testing. Jeckyl and Hyde personality. The mask fell off early and several other times as the relationship moved toward it’s end. Early on I failed to recognize it and when I did, I hoped it would go away. Looking back, I was manipulated but I was in love. For the first time, thought I had found the “one”. I was blue pillin’ hard.

WARNING: When a women says time and time again: I don’t need a man to be happy, make your exit plans. I’ve run into two of them and one needs to GTFO with as little damage as possible. Don’t listen to the guilt.

Some examples and warning signs that I observed:

Late without a reasonable excuse. She let me sit outside at her home at night after driving 70 miles, for an hour in the winter. She was drinking with friends. Came home buzzed. No apology and I didn’t mention it.

Talking with her on the phone, she was stoned as she was most days. Said she needed to feed her dog, be right back. I hear her talking to her dog and rambling on for 15 minutes. I hang up. She called back, “Why did you hang up?” Really? Because you forgot about me and show zero respect for my time? Excuse: I’m sorry, I put my phone down in the pantry and forgot about it. Duh.

Note: Never call or text someone when they fail to follow through.

Several times over 7 months. Agreed to call me and didn’t. When I texted and called, no response. My last text: Look, if you can’t or don’t want to follow through on commitments, just say so. I don’t appreciate this. Excuse: I was unpacking boxes and left my phone in one of the boxes. I forgot about it and went to sleep.

Another time, agreed to call me after dinner. No call. I called at 9 pm. Voice mail. I left a voice mail; “Wow, I was really looking forward to talking with you tonight.” I was jonesing hard for her. Excuse: I fell asleep.

S~~~ Test 1: 2 weeks in. She says; “ I really shouldn’t be chasing a man and driving 70 miles to do so. Maybe we should back off for a while.” My response. I said; “No I don’t want to back off. If you feel that way, I would prefer that we go our own ways. I’m sorry it didn’t work out.” She backpedals and cries, stating that I didn’t come to her place often enough. I agreed to come to her place more often and told her it would be much simpler to communicate her needs, rather than creating drama.

S~~~ Test 2: About 2 months in. She says; “My belief in God is really important in my life. “I really need the man in my life to be interested in going to church with me.” She had never asked. I got a bit angry and told her that if she wanted something, ask. I went to church with her and things were fine for an a while.

S~~~ Test 3: We had exchanged several texts during the day. She called me on her way home from work. As she pulled up to her home in the country, she became irate, as her ex and one of her male friends were installing a gate in her driveway. They had a line of beer bottles lined up indicating they were fueled up for the project and had put the gate in a place that she was not happy with. More bitching. She says; “Lets have a talk later, I need to get off the phone.” Later we talk and 5 minutes into the conversation she says that she’s tired and needs to get off the phone. I said Ok, but what did you want to talk about. She said; “I didn’t want to talk about anything.” I repeated exactly what she said. She became angry and said; “Don’t tell me I said something when I didn’t.” I said goodbye, followed up with an email that I was done. Three days later we made nice, met for dinner and she made a point that I’ve broken her heart by walking out on her. She says that it wouldn’t be a good idea to stay over tonight. I told her that I had no plans to do so and didn’t bring clothes. Tells me that she can’t stand to have me walk out of the relationship again. Things go well for a month.

S~~~ Test 4: It’s the dead of winter, the mountains of NC and TN are having travel advisories. Snow is heavy. We both live in mountain towns in our respective states. She is hauling firewood into the house, the wheelbarrow slips and a piece of firewood hits her in the nose. I felt bad for her. She sent several pictures. Nothing terrible, but again, I’m a nurse. Lot’s of “I wish you were here for me.” comments and I wanted to be the White Knight and be there. Just not possible with the weather.

She comes to my place the following weekend. She has been feeling under the weather. Sitting on the couch, she is commenting that she wishes she were at home and able to see her grandchildren and says she hates having to travel away from them. I told her that I understood and that it was fine with me if she wanted to go. I’m running out of patience and let my feelings show. There was some crying, tried to guilt me because I wasn’t there for her when she took one on the nose. We talked, made up and I discovered that she wanted to marry me. Mixed emotions.

We agreed to a long engagement, with no timeline for marriage. She mentioned that she would lose her 2k a month alimony if she got married. Hint: it’s about the money. More shenanigans from her over the next month, including a request that I consider getting matching tattoo that would be complete when we held hands. Lot’s of photo’s sent illustrating those she would like. During a phone call one night, she’s stoned, watching the Voice and there is a girl with a star tattoo on her face. Talks about getting one just like that. Look, tats are ok, but I’m not getting one. She has a beautiful face, has a nose stud that tasteful, but she’s 51 years old, not 21. She has a tramp stamp that I’ve stared at while banging her from behind and I’m kind of used to a turquoise wolf looking at me as I’m doing the doggy deed. Dogs have to stick together right? She asked me to move in with her, talked about building a new master suite on the ground floor that opens up to a pool and a hot tub.

S~~~ Test 5: Expresses concern about me moving in. Her concern was that since I was close to retirement, that I would quit my job, move in and she would have to support me. ???? WTF? I don’t need to be supported, that when we decided that this was what we wanted, I would line up a job first. She said that she noticed me staring at the mountains out her backdoor and that must mean that I’m having second thoughts about our relationship. I didn’t tell her, but the warning bells are going off. There was talk about me selling versus renting my home and I think she wanted me to rent in case things did not work out. I wanted to sell, lots of equity. I planned to buy a small place in her town as a out, that I could use as a rental property. I could not rent where I currently lived based on HOA regs. You had to live there 2 years before renting. I had been there one year. Welcome to the real world. Living with someone can be complicated.

After much conversation, I said that we needed to table this motion and think long and hard about the engagement. She brought up the subject a few weeks later and began to talk about how great it would be when I moved in. She still expressed concern about it, but said that’s what she wanted. When I gave her that; “We are sitting in church, it’s quiet and you just loudly farted”, look on my face, she became quiet and said; “Or not.” I just said that we could talk about it later. No need to rush into things, right?

S~~~ Test 6 is the final test. After being up since 5: 00 AM, working the whole day, I arrive at her place around 7:00 pm. She has a girlfriend and friends over from out of town. Lots of drinking and again, she’s stoned. At 11:30 I tell her that I’m going to bed, that I’m exhausted. This figures into her s~~~ test, which is coming the next day. The next day she has plans to go on a shopping Marathon with her friend. Being the blue piller and White Knight, I stay at her place, Mow a couple of acres, cut down some brush. She gets home around 5:00 pm and shows me all of the clothes she bought and a cute bikini she bought for the cruise I’m taking her on next week. That’s right folks, the money is pouring out. Thank God I had a good job. We go out for dinner and drinks with her Ex, his girlfriend, her friend and me. I limited my intake to 1.5 beers. My ass is whipped. I’ve been working all day. We leave the place at around 10:00 pm. She’s been to her Ex’s car and smoked a bowl after consuming around 4 beers. Speech is slurred and she is driving. I’m nervous. We get home, more drinking and more smoking. At 11:30 I say, I’m going to bed. She says goodnight, she’s up talking with her friend. At 2:00 am she’s not in bed. I find her sitting on the couch, watching TV with Chinese eyes. I ask her if she wants to come to bed. I get the silent treatment. I shut off the television and tell her that I don’t do the silent treatment. She had previously told me about her mother’s mental abuse, directed at family and it included up to 2 weeks of the silent treatment. I make a comment about following in her mother’s footsteps. More argument and anger directed toward me because I fell asleep the night before and she was looking forward to sex. I explained myself as best I could but she was mean and nasty. Then came the accusation; “All you want is sex!” I explained that I was tired and all I wanted was to sleep next to her. Her response with fire in her eyes; “I don’t believe you!” I then opened a door that I would not or could not close. I spoke of my concern about the amount of drinking and smoking that she did and in particular how when mixed with the prescription narcotics she was taking, was not a good thing. I went to bed for an hour, returned to the living room, woke her up and got her into bed.

I did some thinking during the remainder of the night. As much as I loved her, I could not stay in this twisted relationship, but thought, lets see how things are in the morning when she is sober. The plan was for her and her girlfriend to go to church and the white knight stay and cut 5 small trees down so her view on the mountain would be unobstructed. I brought up last night’s conversation and found that she was firmly entrenched in her attitude. While she was dressing, I packed my suitcase, said goodbye to her dog and got my s~~~ out of the garage. When I returned to the house, I told her that I was leaving. She said; “I thought you were going to cut those trees down.” I told her no, that after last night, I needed to go home. Told her that I would see her when I saw her. Went home, wrote an email explaining that I couldn’t imagine that she would want to spend 5 days on a ship together, so that it was probably a good idea to end this. We agreed to talk by phone the next day. I did all the talking and told her exactly why this wasn’t working for me. I acted positive but inside I was dying. She thought I was going to let her go on the cruise since the tickets were paid for and one was in her name. I called and spoke to the female agent that I had worked with and explained the situation. I told her that I thought I was screwed. She told me that my girlfriend had already called and tried to arrange to purchase the ticket on her own. You see, her Ex and his girlfriend were going on the same cruise and we were supposed to drive to Florida together. The agent told me that since I had purchased cruise insurance, I could get a full refund, minus the insurance premium. I emailed my now ex-girlfriend and explained that I wasn’t going to pay for the cruise. The venom level escalated terribly. The usual s~~~. I broke her heart, I was at fault, I agreed to pay for the cruise so I should honor my obligations. Basically, she was like a monkey in the zoo, throwing her little monkey s~~~ b~~~~ every chance she got. We exchanged numerous emails over the next couple of months. The one apology I got was; “I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings.” Not sorry for or acknowledging her behavior mind you. I told her that I was no longer going to respond to her venomous texts or emails and that if she could be reasonable or talk in a calm manner, I would reconsider. I got one last text from her a year and a half later. It was an angry text. I had retired, was sitting in a Cracker Barrel, driving to my new life in South Florida. More venom and accusations. I simply said, wow, so angry and hurt. The response; “Maybe a little hurt.” Finally I told her that No contact would be best for us. More venom follows and I said; “Now would be a good time to institute the No Contact Policy. Her last attempt at shaming; “Now you’re all alone. How do you like that? All I could say was; “You have no idea.” I truly dodged the big one as painful as it was. MGTOW for life.!

When you truly don’t care if women notice you or not, you’ll stop noticing whether they notice you or not.

Until then, it’s still just a technique.

The final level of mastery of the self is that you no longer need to be the master of yourself. At that point you can just do whatever you want, including jerking off or not, without it having to be part of a process, strategy or plan… it just is.

Americans are silly@!!@ stop it.

Man, seriously!?

You’re talking to men here who have spent years being decent, caring and loyal, hardworking fathers and husbands.

Only to be removed from their WHOLE lives by a phone call, made by a lying, deceitful c~~~, just because she wasn’t haaappy.

To have been then put through the most unimaginable horrors and financial ruin, based on the lies of a woman.

So, we should just ‘man up’ eh? Stop being so sensitive.

You’re right, we all need to just man up to the SLAUGHTER and stop being so ‘sensitive’

Right, I’m going back to the plantation, sign me up for some more decades of pure f~~~ing hell on earth and off the charts spiritual abuse and EVIL.

That’s an interesting statement from someone who pretends to have everyone else in the room all figured out.

They don’t feel great because they are doing everything going the wrong way. The opposite direction. The me direction and that’s just not feasible.

Who’s “assuming” now?

Your big mistake here is assuming that men who live for themselves don’t have other passions and dedications that are actually BIGGER and more important than themselves. That’s what’s required to become “great”.

Ask Wilbur. He knows.
You can ask Tesla too. . . .

“Be alone, that is the secret of invention.
Be alone, that is when ideas are born.”

Both “great” men who went their own way . . . . and were still dedicated to something bigger and more important than themselves.

Yes I do not believe that most men here live for something bigger and greater than themselves. That’s exactly my point. Will you list me things you live for that are bigger, greater things? Please don’t post university, or college or politics, careers or anything to do with winning the world series of poker..

We all know that is a lie. Want to reach for something higher than you – try risking the sum of your worth and multiply it by two. Do that and you get a lil’ baby. See that’s the trick of life. You get to a point, look back – see it as a threat then only to have you see further to look back and see it as life.

And that goal turned into something else too. You finally achieved it and it still didn’t compare to that time when you were driving around looking forward to going to grand ma ma’s and telling her you finally reached your goal. Grand ma ma had died already and if she hasn’t she became very old and forgot who you were. In the end, you still remember but the sad thing is, that the goal or achievement was only for you to remember not anybodies.

The lesson is to never risk twice what is your worth. Meaning living for this greatness thing you’re talking about and defending it is only an illusion. You will lose it anyway, and would’ve been better if you maintained a true middle path.

I can only guess that they dated the hot chick who cheated on them with Chad. Some loser that turned her on because she gets the ‘gina tingles for a bad guy. So they decided to try “dating down” with a woman that he thinks will feel lucky just to have him. She won’t cheat because he’s such a catch. She’ll most likely bang Chad too. Makes you wonder what plan C will be.

Well, you got that. And they also flirt with the chads of the town right across the table, even if you pay for dinner.

And “plan C’s” are even worse. They think they have finally secured a “desperate to have sex” wallet and then they pull out all female evilness they had to hide for so long (Because “prison chad” wouldn’t take her s~~~)…

Eating out for 18 years got me to see a lot of “theater” of society.

In July of 2018, this honey pot forum was sold out to an unidentified NPC sock puppet and troll organization. Most independent thinkers and writers migrated to other MGTOW forums as a result of the never-ending infighting and deliberate trouble starting caused by members who were given "carte blanche" by the admin to do whatever they want. Before my departure, I only left a few thousand cat pics here to comfort and ridicule the feminist owners who now run this place. Their background agenda is to make MGTOW look like a club of losers the public eye. And during the course of 2019, they actually managed to destroy almost all other MGTOW venues as well. Here is the truth about "theindependentman.org" aka "TIM" which was created as an extended workbench to further divide the community.

After i found out that my now ex had been having online affairs , I locked her out of our computer and installed a key logger , one she had no knowledge about and did the install then three days after the revelation I allowed her back onto our computer.
You must understand a few truths about this Biatch, First the name in this record is not her real name , she is not in her twenties, at this time she was a 49 y/o fat land whale. That I had been married to for over 7 years.

RE: With heartfelt remorse…..Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 02:43:16 =

In view of past few days, I am amazed at two things; one the love of God to forgive me, and the unveilings of hidden things revealed. If I had not messed up and left my e-mail up, I would still be in my lie and deceit. The lie basically was my name, it is Marlena Eviana and yes, I am the girl pictured on the ID. I simply changed my birthday date and name slightly . I subtracted the 5 years 20
        off of my age and got 22. At first I wanted to fill all the lonely alone hours I had due to my husband having critical neck surgery and all kinds of physical problems. He has been in and out of hospitals for the past 3 years of the 5 years we have been married. As I started on grab, it was not my intention to deceive, it was just easier to be Eva she was unattached, with all my same features, my gifts, talents, and goals. I made friends easily and I started to come alive as any woman needs to be. Then Dec 17th I sent you the first e-mail, and knew you had given me something that I needed in my life, it was love, I had not had in so very long, love, just simply given.I did not have to be deserving and I could not earn your love, yet you gave it. Misguided and blundering, my love was given out by always in the back of my mind, and
        in my whole heart in was my husband, and first love that I was wanting that moved me and changed me from the beginning and even to this day, it remains. No matter of weeks could feel the void of darkness and emptiness I felt and I still felt a love for my husband. I thought all was lost, for two years his medicine took him away, and he quit touching, loving, caressing, and showing me his love. I could not understand put any understanding to the failing relationship we now had. The years that we have together five years It is not a lifetime, but it is a venture of being   together; so many days spent in knowing and caring and trusting and I
        threw it away because we stopped talking, we stopped be together and loving all the things we fell in love about. I still remember all the talks we had and promises made that because of his illness he threw all them away. Our music, our poetry, our walks, and our travels. All ceased and desisted when his physical body became to much to bare. The terrible highly addicted medicines took him away, and kept us both from being        together and our love making went into a dormant stage. I felt
like a death had occurred and life was no more, at least not a life
that we could live, love and laugh together.How we got to this awful point of no communication and no explanation of what was going on and what needed to change. I slipped away, and hide in someone else, now realizing was not right for anyone. I was still in there, somewhere still wanting love from the love I fell in love with. Wanting romance, and passion, and all the desires we once had burning so deeply for each other. Then the unrealized happened. I had met the Dave from Utah. Just a nice
guy that worked nights and he talked and talked about commitment and relationships and he started to care. But I had already been so caught up in you, and with the time zone the times we had together where so limited. So I talked to Utah Dave on grab I made the mistake, of giving him my e-mail, and the third night we talked I left my e-mail page up, he was going to send some music and some poetry. Now usually my husband was uninvolved in when I was on my computer and where I visited.
        He usually checked his e-mail in the front bedroom, and he had not been sleeping with me sexually, because he cannot lay down flat, only I sleep in our bed, he slept in the recliner in the living room. So the many hours and days I had to make friends and been with everyone, in between work was my time. I never saw how wrong it was until I realized how deeply I was loving you Davey. I could not eat, sleep, and be myself. When relatives or friends came over, you were all I thought about. It just so happened that Utah Dave was going to send me some
music, and I was at my moms that night so when I arrived back home I was extremely tired. But I pulled up the e-mail and left it on the taskbar, and fell asleep on the bed. my husband came in and was going to shut
off the bedroom lights, did so, but sat in my desk chair, and unbeknown to me, pulled up the yahoo mail page and saw Utah on-line asking Eva why do you not answer.
        Well, my husband did, he informed him, that I was not her, and he went on to tell him that I was his wife. Now I had a friendship with him, nothing more, I shared music, and a few e-mails mostly writing about the thing I knew least about; relationships. I only knew I wanted to know
love in a real way, like I had known, a thirsting, hungered love =
and passion, was like wild flowers blooming in the meadows of our lives, but instead was the reality of bitter cold and uncaring everyday lonely without holds, hugs, wet kisses and all that things that make one alive. You once said I must get out and be with people, go and do , if anything, you brought about that in my life. I am started at school, I am taking graphic designs computer programming and web page designs as well as I will be taking some business courses. I am going to do something more with my life. Since that night my husband found out what terrible thing I did, he was very angry, very hurt and ready to call it quits. He felt betrayed, I have never done anything like this, I always was a good honest girl. What happened to me? What cause a
        beautiful girl to feel so ugly, so undesired, and alone? It caused my husband to ask himself whether or not he had a part in all of this. Yes, I made the choice to change my name a bit and take 5 years off my age and be single but he choose to kill my advances of hugs, kisses and touches and love making. How I wronged us all, I am so ashamed!!!! The guy from Utah was a 911
   operator and he is furious, and I can not say that I blame him.
It has been three days since my husband came into the knowledge of all this.
        The first night, He yelled, screamed, threaten and wanted a
divorce, all at which I had no defense, and I agreed I was totally at wrong here, I deserved everything I was getting. The second day he stopped
talking, would not look at me and did not want to be in any part of the house with me. He had told me that I was the scum of the earth on that horrible night and that is the line that went over and over in my heart and mind. But the strangest thing happened the very next afternoon, my husband heard me crying, I thought he was gone from the house, I cried for remorse at what I had done, and he listened evidently , for quite some time at my brokenness. He came back to our room, picking me up off the bathroom floor and he said ( the following I did not say) Marlena, we all do things that take the wrong path, my inability to love you and the rejection I gave you caused you to run into the open arms of the man you come to find.
But i did tell her this “we all make mistakes and being a Christian man I have to try and forgive you, it will not be easy but i will try”.
He knew within moments talking to Dave from Utah, he was a listening ear, but he knew that Dave from Holland, had become so much more in my life. He was Davey, brilliant, loving, and all the things that I saw in him, was I so in love that our lives would be broken forever? Then I had to ask myself, was the love I feel like that? Oh, how I want to be caught up in you Davey, and swept away and never look back. But then I looked at
your heart, I had hurt it too. Wounded the very people I should have chose to love. What I saw was I have a history with my husband, a man I gave my heart to first, through the good, the bad, and the indifference, we were married. I gave him my heart, I gave him my hand, and I chose to be a his side. I had left him, just the same. Not matter how miserable I was, or longing, and lonely I had no right to not be me. I hurt friendships, and I hurt Davey because I did not have a free heart to give. Yesterday, my husband forgave me, he gave back my computer in which he locked me out, he did destroyed my account at yahoo, but who
        can blame him there. He told me he will never bring it up again. He said he sent an e-mail to all the contacts I had in e-mail from grab. He sent greg, jjames, daywine, and you Davey a last e-mail from my account. He said he tried to put it as understanding as he could, and then he terminated the account. I can not walk away from a love my heart knows exist, even after all I did for six weeks in my life, my husband sees forgiveness and I see it too. I asked God to forgive me, Davey I was so undeserving for my behavior!!!! I do not know if you will ever be able to forgive me though. I truly was wrong to ask for your love, and not be as real as you were will me. Some thing so crazy as lust, and         desire and heart came into play and I thought someday I could be
yours.
   But you deserve so much more. Davey, I should have left things
as they were weeks ago, but I was so caught up in you and you were the one thing I saw anywhere in my life. I could have spared you hurt and pain, for this I am so heartfelt sorry and so heartfelt wishing I had let you go
        and wished you well, but my heart of hearts were selfish. I only thought of my loss of you, not your loss of me. For this I am sorry also. I do not know if you can ever forgive me, but I do ask you to try. I have chose to open my heart back up to my husband. He promises that we will go forth from here. He and I promise to never give each other, rejection again. He as well as I promised to put closure of this. He sent an e-mail and I do now with you, asking you to forgive me. Can you Davey? Davey for what it is worth, if I had truly
been myself represented with a free heart, and truth, I would have
gave you
        the world with my life. But I was a leir, and deceitful and
denying my life as it existed, I hurt myself, my husband, my friends on grab and you.
Holland has a wonderful guy named Davey that deserves so =
much more in life then this. I will never forget you Davey, and will
always see your kindness, your humor, and your friendship. I will miss talking to you. Most of all for the six weeks I knew you, you showed me life in your view, it was magical, all of it. It is just too bad, it was not with someone that could be your everything, and your all I have always known that a God existed, and that forgiveness was a principle that he conceived, but I have never been a recipient of a love that forgave and says all is forgotten, and for that I must be eternally grateful, and in doing so, truly find in your heart to forgive me, I seek to have a frogiveness and I am so very, very, sorry I did what I did.<BR>Davey, I know it will be hard to forgive me, it is understandable. Please just jot me a short couple of lines and let me know something even if it is something awful. Utah Dave had his say, it was not put in a nice manner, he pushed in my Eva life when he knew I did not express love for him. But even he got hurt. I am so ashamed!!! I will go into
        grab and release your comments in guest, as well as friendship at your discretion, I have hurt you enough. Help me to mend your heart in any way I can. I went to school and work with swollen eyes the past two days. What I have done with scar my life as well as others for some time to come, if no forgiveness comes and no closure. Please dear Davey help me put closure somewhere here. Sorry in my hurry I did not give the e-mail address right. So I send you this and you may reply a note here.
        I will change my grab account to a more silent person someday. But for right now I have no right to come there except to mend this hurt I caused.

With a heartfelt remorse, Marlena

I did not have any angst against the man she was seducing, he had no Idea who or what she really was and is he was innocent of any wrong doing. Neither was the other guy mentioned in this e-mail.

She is and has been diagnosed as a pathological liar, and mentally f~~~ed up. Just thought I’d share this. Two years after I found her bullsit out she left and we divorced. At the last hearring she had the nerve to tell my lawyer that she had been having affairs since one year after marrying me. Yet she would boast and bragg to my family and friends that “He’s the best thing that ever happened to me”. Yes there were signs, but I didn’t think anything about them. The final day she was with me she insisted that I had been having an affair, and that I abused my children, and that I abused her to.

Well if you consider excitement to be “can we pull over, I have to go to the bathroom again”. You have to travel with a woman to appreciate the solitude.

Ain’t nothing like an open road with no map and no plan, as far as I’m concerned.

I once planed a 7-day solo road trip which I wanted to do for 4 YEARS…… and I finally did it. A female visitor was visiting in town and invited her to come along. By day two, she was pouty face at dinner and I had to tell her to knock it off.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

In 9th grade, on Friday, me and my GF made out (as usual) after school.
She purred how in love with me she was in between long kisses. She had Mrs PRR written on her notebook where she was practicing writing out her married name (we never talked about that), she smiled told me she loved me and skipped on off to catch her bus, looking back to give me another big smile.

On Monday, she met me accompanied by her bitchy friend. As the friend stood over her shoulder giving me evil looks, my GF dumped me. Told me she never wanted to see me again.
No explanation, no grievances, nothing.

Turns out she met a guy on a church event over the weekend, some pastor’s son with social standing, and that was all she wrote. He ended up getting her pregnant, or maybe she already was when she broke up with me, and disappeared from school shortly thereafter.

I didn’t recognize it as a red pill at the time, but it always haunted me. It wasn’t until I found MGTOW and read up on a lot of the principals and theories that I fully understood the reason for these patterns of behavior with women and my relationships with them, and I was finally able to set it completely aside.

March 22nd, 6 dead, 49 injured at Westminster, the attacker was “a peripheral figure” in an MI5 investigation but it was determined he did not pose a threat.
May 22nd 22 dead, 120 injured at the Manchester Arena, the attacker was “known to the security services” but not regarded as a high risk.
June 3rd, so far 6 dead 48 injured, no information yet as to the backgrounds of the three attackers other than the fit the image and were yelling ali ackbar during the rampage so smart money is on at least one of them being on the radar.

So, at least 34 dead and 217 injured in the space of three months, murdered on the streets of their own country by fanatic adherents of the so called religion of peace who at least in the case of the first two attacks were known to the security services and still allowed the freedom to plan and execute their attacks.

There are three ways this can end.
1. The government and people of UK will collectively surrender, admitting that the country has been conquered without a shot fired and convert en masse to Islam
2. The government will finally start taking the concerns and safety of it citizens seriously and take control of the situation, deporting the islamist fanatics and preventing more from entering.
3. The people will realise the government is not going to act and instead take matters into their own hands, this has the potential to get very ugly very quickly especially if the government then tries to step in to protect what will most likely be ordinary muslims.

Between this and Brexit the election just got a hell of a lot more interesting.

Obama administration officials knew they were on shaky ground in spending billions of dollars on health insurance subsidies without clear authority. But they did not think a long-shot court challenge by House Republicans was cause for deep concern.

For one thing, they would be out of office by the time a final ruling in the case, filed in 2014, was handed down. They also believed that a preliminary finding against the administration would ultimately be tossed out. Finally, they figured that President Hillary Clinton could take care of the problem, if necessary.

Well, they are out of office, Mrs. Clinton is not president and the uncertain status of the cost-sharing payments now looms as the biggest threat to the stability of the insurance exchanges created under the Affordable Care Act. A dubious decision made by the previous White House has handed the current administration a powerful weapon to wield against the health care legislation that it despises.

“The administration should not have found an appropriation where none existed,” said Nicholas Bagley, a University of Michigan law professor who has studied and written about the issue. “The Obama administration argument that the Affordable Care Act included an appropriation for the cost-sharing payments never held water.”
Judge Rosemary M. Collyer agreed with that assertion last year. She ruled that the Obama administration had no explicit authority to pay as much as $130 billion over 10 years to insurance companies to cover out-of-pocket health costs for millions of lower-income Americans obtaining insurance on the new health exchanges. At the same time, she found that the Republican-led House had the standing to sue the administration — a potentially far-reaching decision that many constitutional law experts predicted would be overturned on appeal, causing the suit to be dismissed.

Then November’s election upended all the calculations. Donald J. Trump won, and his interest in defending the executive branch against the House lawsuit was nonexistent given his antipathy for the health care law.

But neither he nor congressional Republicans were in any hurry to drop the appeal initiated by the Obama administration because that would mean the subsidies would be immediately cut off, throwing the health insurance market into turmoil. Instead, the lawsuit has been essentially suspended and the payments have become a new bargaining chip in Washington. The administration is essentially doling them out on a month-to-month basis while Republicans struggle to come together on their own health care replacement plan.
Republicans say the fight over the subsidies is just one element contributing to a failure of the health care law.

“This law is in the middle of a collapse,” Speaker Paul D. Ryan told reporters before the House went on its Memorial Day break. “We need to bring down the cost of coverage, and we need to revitalize the market so that people have real choices and real access to affordable health care.”

Democrats and other critics say it is the Trump administration’s position on the cost-sharing payments that is a chief contributor to the shakiness in the market, with insurers abandoning the program or raising premiums in anticipation of the federal dollars disappearing. They say that the White House maneuvering on the subsidies is simply the latest in a series of calculated moves meant to sabotage the insurance program, starting with an order to end enforcement of the requirement that people obtain insurance.

While some Democrats acknowledge that the Obama administration left the law vulnerable to attack with the way it funded the subsidies, they say it is Republicans who will now pay politically if the program collapses on their watch.

“This would put their hands on the bloody knife,” said Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, who is heading the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Mr. Bagley, the law school professor, agrees that Republicans would be held accountable for a failure in the marketplace. He says they should be because of the actions they have taken to undermine it.

“The biggest source for the instability in the markets in 2018 is the president,” he said, warning of a run of damaging headlines for Republicans beginning this fall if things proceed on their current course.

Republicans dismiss such talk and say that the public knows just where the problems with the health care law originated — and it is not with them.

“The blame belongs with Obamacare,” Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, said recently. “There’s just no serious way to now try and spin away these years and years of Obamacare failures on cost.”

The ongoing debate overlooks an underlying problem with the Affordable Care Act. In the past, disputes such as the funding fight would have been resolved with corrective legislation.

Congress has traditionally taken years to resolve disagreements and unintended consequences arising from complex pieces of social legislation, as they continue to do with Medicare, which became law in the 1960s. But the bitter partisan divide over health care has prevented any such tweaking.

What to do about the payments will no doubt arise in budget talks between Capitol Hill and the White House.

The Trump administration could try again to extract concessions from Democrats by trading a commitment to continue funding the subsidies even though the White House was unsuccessful in doing so this year.

And if the Republican effort to find a substitute to the health care law ends in failure, which now seems a real possibility, perhaps Republicans and Democrats could find a way to come together to make repairs to the Affordable Care Act and resolve doubts surrounding the payments.

But for now, the uncertainty continues to imperil both the Affordable Care Act and the politicians who could be held accountable for any failure.

President Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia: A Response from the Middle East

<<Y

The current tensions in the Middle East have severely escalated with President Trump’s trip and proclamation of friendship and arms sales to Saudi Arabia – the known center of Wahhabi-takfiri terrorism in the Middle East and which finances and exports this ideology to Europe, the United States, Africa and Central Asia.

The western MSM have blanketed the airwaves with Trump’s triumphant new alliance with Saudi Arabia in Riyadh – with 55 countries in agreement and attendance. And as usual this information is nothing like the truth.

I attempt to bring you the details and consequences of that trip through the eyes of one very prominent Islamic leader. His views would represent the feelings of the majority of those Islamic countries in attendance at Trump’s recent visit to Riyadh, if not all. So it is important if for only this reason and defines the expectations of the peoples within the Middle East and North Africa (apart from the regime of Saudi Arabia).

The US-Saudi alliance has practically doomed any goodwill that the US has left with the majority of Muslim countries in the region opposing Saudi-Wahhabism – at a time when the region is looking for stability and is successfully taking decisive action in containing and eliminating these factions with direct military and economic assistance from Russia, China and other countries.

We are therefore heading into a multi-polar world as the US-led hegemony collapses firstly within the Middle East as a result. The process is far from over and there are expected to be further upheavals along the way. However the transition of the Middle East into self-governing entities is slowly emerging and is expected to become a reality within the next two or three decades – despite the best efforts of Washington and its European allies.

Speech by Hezbollah Secretary General Sayed Hassan Nasrallah on 25th May 2017, on the occasion of the seventeenth anniversary of the Liberation of Southern Lebanon (Part and Edited Transcript) [1] [2] [3]

…Let us bring up the summit [of Riyadh]. First, it was said that it was a triple [American-Arab-Muslim] summit, when in fact there was only one summit, Saudi Arabia and the United States. That is -between President Trump and King Salman, and their accompanying delegations.

The summit between the United States and the Gulf countries was nothing but a meeting of courtesy, a presentation, a ceremony. The [alleged] US-Arab-Islamic summit, bringing together 55 or 56 countries, was but a standing ovation to President Trump, and it was not a summit or conference.

There were no preparatory committees, no material distributed to participants, no preliminary meeting of foreign ministries or ministries of defence – neither [a] draft declaration, nor debate, nor negotiations, nor exchanges, nor anything at all.

They brought together the Presidents of all the places of the [world] – most of the Arab and Islamic countries – then King Salman gave a speech, President Trump gave a speech and then two or three [short speeches] and that’s it, it was over. Even the rest of the statements were not made, because the King was then tired – at least that is what they have said in the media. And it was over. And everyone went home.

This is the true description [of what happened]. Everyone has returned to their countries. There are even some delegations who have complained that no one took care to accompany them at the airport – “No one has taken leave of us.”

And they were then all surprised to hear of what was called the Riyadh Declaration.

Here is the Riyadh Declaration [in my hands]. This is only a US-Saudi statement. Of the 55 Arab countries, most were unaware of the existence of the Declaration and its content. And in itself, this is a scandal. Look, for example, on the text in the Declaration, it says that “The leaders present debated…”, “The leaders have confirmed…”, “The leaders stressed…”, “The leaders welcomed…”, “The leaders decided…”, etc.

Whereas in reality the leaders have not debated, nor welcomed, nor underlined, they knew nothing, they did not hear anything, and there were even those who were sleeping…

Well afterwards, they became aware of the Declaration through the media. They learned about the statement through the media. The Riyadh Declaration is an American-Saudi Declaration – period. And of course, this is an outrage, and demonstrates a position of weakness, and of the farce that these [pseudo] summits and conferences constitute. Things do not happen like that anywhere [else] in the world. And anyway, [this event] has precedents in Saudi Arabia.

Such a thing already happened before a year or two [ago], in front of the Resistance of Yemen and the Yemeni people. The Saudi Foreign Minister went out to raise the morals of his supporters and announced an Islamic Military Alliance of some 30 countries. And some countries have had the courage to say – “We are not aware, nobody told us or asked, we heard that in the media.”

Imagine, then, a world Islamic military alliance is being formed (supposedly) with some countries some of which are not even aware of it! And they are informed by the media. It is not new for Saudi Arabia and [it is in accordance with] its [usual] processes. Therefore, the true summit [in Riyadh] is the bipartite summit [between the United States and Saudi Arabia].

So much for the background [to the Declaration]. What needs to be looked at closely, critically and debated is this bipartite agreement and what has been offered to the United States, what the United States has pledged in return and the consequences of this on the region – this is what is really serious. Everything else is speeches, words, stances, dinner, ceremonies, supper, a fashion show, [and] everything you want [in a summit].

Secondly, the so-called summit – which has been called a summit and for which were brought together a great number of countries, leaders and Presidents – we must ask ourselves: “Oh brother, what did happen [in reality]?” We must first describe [the event]. Why [this event]? What Saudi Arabia has organised – what is it and what is its motive?

What was organised, [and] the objectives of this mass meeting, are firstly to magnify and honour Trump. What happened was an operation to glorify Trump. It was to honour him and to incense [exalt] him, with scenes that deserve to be dwelt on but that I do not want to develop [on] now [luxury, etc.]

The second objective is to underline the essential role of Saudi Arabia in the Gulf and in the Arab-Islamic world. They wanted to say to the United States: “We are the heart of the Arab-Islamic world and the Gulf. It is we who bring together all the people, who bring them in, who summon them, who put them in line – so that they may listen to your speech.”

So much for the moral and political aspects, with a result that I will soon get to.

The third objective is to intimidate Iran and the Resistance Axis, by saying: “Watch out, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas” [because they have designated us by name, Hezbollah and Hamas], “O Resistance movements as well as the Iraqi people, Yemen, everyone [else], “take heed and watch out, for the United States is coming, and the whole world [consisting of the] mass of Arab, Islamic countries and the Gulf are preparing to make war on you.” It’s intimidation. Of course, this has absolutely no weight. And I will come back to it.

The fourth objective is to try to push the United States and convince them, by all means, to participate directly in the war. To bring them directly into the conflict, facing Iran and the Resistance Axis. Saudi Arabia, when it organised this whole festival, had as its main objective this one.

That’s it.

Then those who had the floor made their speeches, and the Declaration was published. The question that needs to be asked now is why the Saudis did this, and with this particular [US] President. Why? Let us start with the first goal.

Why are these honours, incensing [exalting] and glorification of President Trump [given], who has the following characteristics: the President, who for one year during the election campaign most insulted Islam as a religion, who insulted Muslims as supporters of a religion and as a Community, and who is the President who has insulted the Arabs most as a people, and who insulted Saudi Arabia and insulted the Gulf countries.

Is not it this President who said that Saudi Arabia is a milking cow that must be milked to the last drop before it is disposed of? This is the most racist President. This was the first President who, when he entered the White House, signed a decree banning Muslims and nationals from eight Arab and Islamic countries from entering the United States. This is the President most attached to Israel, the greatest supporter and ally of Israel. And this is a President who, apart from that, has done nothing yet [to deserve our honours].

[Normally], we honour someone, we cover him with gifts and we satisfy his wishes because he has achieved something positive. [If for example] he defended you, if he defended your holy places, if he did things for the Palestinian people. [But] what is Trump’s accomplishment for offering all these rewards? And it is a President [who is] sitting on a trembling chair – we do not know when it will fall.

What a mess, all this money [for the arms sales agreements], if Trump were to be deposed! What logic, what rationality, what understanding are there at work [for the arms sales agreements]? We are really stunned by the [extravagant] Saudi reception, the follies of the reception ceremony, the tremendous expenses [for the arms sales agreements], politics and ovations [that have transpired].

From a political point of view, my brother, where is [the] logic [of this honouring]? And this President was offered what no other American President had ever received. The question always comes back [to] why, why, why? I will talk about it in my fourth point. Why did Saudi Arabia do that?

I hope that [everyone understands that] I am speaking only of facts, I do not use any vehement or satirical language or anything else. I just want to describe things [as they are]. And the one who says to me: “O Sayed, what you say is not true” – no problem [let him show his arguments why this is not true].

First, it is [for Saudi Arabia] to protect themselves. For the Saudi regime [the House of al-Saud] to protect itself in Saudi Arabia [and] to protect itself from the world. Why? Because today in the world, even in the United States, Europe and the whole world, it is no longer a secret that behind the takfiris groups and the takfiri ideology, lies the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The whole world is now aware of it. And Trump himself knows it, he had talked about it during the election campaign. The press and the American, western and international media [have spoken of it], everyone knows.

What does ISIS teach in its schools? The books of Sheikh Muhammad bin Abd-al-Wahhab [which are known as] the Wahhabi books. What is Al-Qaeda’s ideology? Wahhabism. Who created it? Saudi Arabia.

And that is why the whole world today considers the Saudi regime as the heart of takfiri thought and the essential support of the takfiri organizations in the world whose oppression and knives not only strike the Lebanese, the Syrians, Iraqis, Yemenis, Egyptians, Afghans and Pakistanis, but have reached Belgium, France, Great Britain, Germany, the United States and all over the world.

And now Indonesia, Somalia… and they [takfiris] still have a long way to go. Saudi Arabia feels that the whole world looks at it angrily. That is why it needs to pay a bribe to the American master to defend it, so that [the US] protects it, so that [the US] presents it as a center of combat of the terrorism [and the country] that leads the war against terrorism, and to lift the accusation [of terrorist complicity] against it. But it will be to no avail.

Do you see how in this summit all Saudi Arabia’s care and concern was to say [this accusation]? A sentence pronounced by King Salman: that Iran is the source of terrorism, the heart of international terrorism since the victory of the Khomeini Revolution, according to his words. Since the victory of the [liberation] Revolution of the glorious Imam Khomeini. These grotesque remarks were pronounced by the King Salman.

Iran is the heart of global terrorism? Is it Iran that created Al-Qaeda? Is it Iran that created ISIS? Is it Iran that created the Taliban? Is it Iran that created these Wahhabi movements and armies? Is it Iran that financed them and armed them?

Yes, Iran supported the movement of the [liberation] Resistance in Lebanon, it is true. Iran has supported the movement of the [liberation] Resistance in Palestine, it is true. Iran stood by the Iraqi people when ISIS nearly entered Najaf, Karbala and Baghdad. Iran stood with the Syrian people while Saudi Arabia was sending arms and money to these [Wahhabi terrorist] groups in Syria.

Iran is accused of sectarian incitement? Who [rhetorical] therefore accuses the Shiites of being disbelievers? Who [rhetorical] accuses other Muslims of disbelief? [Do Saudis accuse] Iran or the [original] Saudi Wahhabi ideology, the Council of the great Saudi scholars and their centers of religious education in Syria? The whole history of Saudi Arabia consists of accusations of disbelief against Muslims. And the whole history of Iran, from Imam Khomeini, has been the bringing together of schools [of Islamic faith], unity among Muslims, rapprochement, dialogue, coexistence, mutual support based on piety and Fear of God.

Launching the accusation against Iran will not benefit Saudi Arabia. The truth cannot be hidden by a discourse here or a conference there.

First, [Saudi Arabia has done all of this] to face this global condemnation. Currently, in the United States, judicial proceedings are being instituted against Saudi princes who are linked to the September 11 attacks organized by Al-Qaeda in the United States. And billions of Saudi dollars in the US will be seized for the benefit of these families.

Secondly, why did Saudi Arabia do all this [festivities, honour and the Declaration etc.] with Trump during those two days? Because it also needs the American master to protect its role in the area. It has failed everywhere. All its plans have failed, as have all its wars and all its objectives. In Syria, it has failed so far, as well as in Iraq.

O my brothers, ISIS started in Saudi Arabia, ISIS not only has Saudi ideology, but its money is Saudi, its leaders are Saudi, and the hopes that were placed in ISIS were Saudi. That’s it.

In Yemen, two and a half years of war against a people with the spirit of sacrifice, patient and honorable, and they [Saudi Arabia has] brought armies of the world [to participate]. It is unfortunate that the Sudanese army is involved, as well as other armies. It’s really unfortunate. But for two and a half years, the Yemenis endured and resisted, stronger despite hunger, siege, poverty, and indiscriminate bombardment night and day.

And let us go back to terrorism. Is Iran the basis of terrorism or is it you [Saudis]? This war against Yemen is not terrorism? It is state terrorism. It is state terrorism that has spared no man, no construction, no mosque, no historical vestige, no hospital, no market, no school, no university, no house, no quarter, no field, no farm. And today… now they send some medicine to Yemen… Who is besieging Yemen? Who starves Yemen? Who is responsible for cholera in Yemen? Who massacres the people of Yemen? The Saudi regime.

And the whole world is silent. The whole world that keeps silent and dares not speak a word of truth out of fear of the Saudi takfir or the Saudi media or the cutback of Saudi money – if [ it is worth ] two pennies. And it is a historic ethical and humanitarian crime that the world [is complicit in] what is happening in Yemen.

Thus, Saudi Arabia has failed in all its plans and wars in the region, and these failures have begun to be felt within, on the relations between its princes, its people, its economy. And that is why [the House of al-Saud] needs the Americans to protect it inside Saudi Arabia and preserve [Saudi Arabia’s] role in the region. So first, to protect themselves and preserve their role.

Larger Map: http://i.stack.imgur.com/rRYYi.png

And second, there is a problem [for] the Saudi regime and the Saud family, and that is Iran. The praise they gave Iran before [the Revolution of] Imam Khomeini is incredible. Incredible. The Shah of Iran was an American, an Israeli, a supporter of Israel, and an arrogant and haughty behaviour with the kings and princes of the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf countries. Just look at the pictures, you can find them on the internet – they ate in his hand and put themselves at his feet.

It seems that these [Saudis] are accustomed to people who mock them, insult and despise them. As for the one who comes to them as a brother [Imam Khomeini], respectful, wanting dialogue, anxious about Islamic relations and the interests of the [Muslim] Community, he is received with this hatred and hostility.

The problem [for al-Saud] is the question of Iran, yes, and the question of the Resistance Axis. Saudi Arabia has offered Trump everything to wage war against Iran, to isolate Iran, to attack Iran, [and also] for the war on the Resistance Axis. That is the reality.

And that is why Saudi Arabia was ready to give him everything he wanted. That is what happened. And Trump, what’s important to him? President Trump, in everything that happens in the world, what is it that matters to him? He wants money, and there is Israel. Money and Israel.

Saudi Arabia looked [at Iran and the Resistance] and said, “To protect and preserve my role, and to lead the United States to fight Iran and the Resistance Axis, after all these Organizations, all these movements and all these armies, all have failed, I have no choice but to bring the Americans.

Well, how can I win the favors of Americans? [Now with] God, I know how to get closer to Him: prayer, Ramadan fasting, Hajj, Umrah, invocations, ziyaras [holy visits of Saints], Koran… Well, how do I get closer to Trump? By what he loves. And what he loves is money. So “Take it to satiety, O Trump. Take it to satiety.”

The media talked about $ 110 billion in contracts. After that, they talked about $300 billion. What is the total sum officially? The Al-Arabiya channel announced it in its drop-down strip at the bottom of the screen: $480 billion of contracts and agreements with American companies. $480 billion dollars while there is austerity, poverty and an economic crisis in Saudi Arabia. All they had in money, they offered it to Trump.

What about [the State of] Palestine? And that is why [Saudi Arabia declares]: “Whatever you [the US] decide for [the State of] Palestine, we agree.” And Trump brought a letter from King Salman to Netanyahu. That’s it. “Whatever you decide for [the State of] Palestine, we agree.”

And that is why during the triple summit, no one said a word about the Palestinian people, nor about the prisoners on hunger strike for the 38th or 39th day, nor about the hundreds of them who were transported to hospitals as a result of deteriorating health, either on the holy sites, on Al-Quds [Jerusalem], on Gaza, or on the siege of Gaza. Any word that could have disturbed Trump on the Palestinian issue was kept silent.

And God knows what they have conceded to him on the Palestinian question.

We must wait to see. There is talk of a forthcoming summit in Sharm-el-Sheikh, there is talk of launching new negotiations… Taking into consideration that when Trump arrived at Netanyahu, and even when he saw President Abbas, he has not given the least positive sign to Palestinian causes, not even minimally. Not even minimally, absolutely no positive signs.

That’s it. Saudi Arabia has given a tremendous amount of money, and Palestine is now offered on a golden plate, and all this glorification and incensing is intended to achieve these ends.

Well, what is going to happen or what can happen? And that is the most important part of the speech. Thank God, we still have a little time [to prepare].

First, Iran, which was the main topic of the Riyadh Declaration. And I would like to tell you one thing…. Only the Malaysian [President] mentioned [Iran]. But was not this summit against Iran, this Declaration against Iran?! This is what Saudi Arabia wanted the leaders who were present to say, and who did not know what was going on. What is the result?

First, with regard to Iran, while these people were gathering in Riyadh, the Iranian people renewed their confidence in the regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran. And 42 million people took part in the elections. That is more than 73% of the people entitled to vote. And for clarification, it was presidential and municipal elections. It is done by districts. Iran, with 42 million voters, sensitive presidential elections, municipal elections even more sensitive, as is the case for us, and in spite of that, no incident has taken place, neither blows, nor shots, nor accidents of the road, nor wounded, despite all the sensitivity of the event. And Iran has elected its President, renewing its allegiance. Well, this is what Iran is.

Saudi Arabia is the country that incited Saddam Hussein to the war against Iran – eight years of war. They are the ones who say they paid US $200 billion for Saddam Hussein. What was the consequence of the war for the whole region? During the past decades, Saudi Arabia has not neglected any action that could weaken Iran, it has tried everything. What could it do again? Tell me.

And I tell them that Iran is increasingly powerful, formidable and influential, and the whole world recognises it.

… I advise Saudi Arabia… because we do not just describe, we want to give advice. Leave aside the struggle, the hatred and the war. Your only way out in the interest of all Muslims, the whole region, the Gulf countries and the peoples of the region is dialogue with Iran, negotiations with Iran, and Iran has always been ready for that. This path you will take will lead to no result, if not the expenditure of more billions of dollars, the effusion of more blood, and you will be the losers.

It is you who will fail, as you have failed so far, as you have lost so far, and as Iran has won so far. This is the advice of a Muslim Arab Lebanese to a Muslim Arab state – which declares itself to belong to the name of Islam. As for this path [which you tread today], it will lead to nothing

Secondly, [for the country of] Yemen, this summit will not accelerate nor delay anything. The Yemeni people, the Islamic and patriotic leaders in Yemen, the Yemeni parties, the Yemeni army and the people’s committees are all resolved to face and resist, and so far they resisted (successfully).

And all that Saudi Arabia could possibly do militarily for two and a half years, it did. All the mercenaries they could bring, they brought them. All the armies they could bring, they brought them. All they could use in air force, they used it. They besieged, plus the cholera, the hunger, the diseases, of which we have already spoken.

But what is the result? A military fiasco and a political fiasco. I do not want to go into the details of southern and northern Yemen and what is happening in Aden. And that is why, as I also know, this Saudi path and the announcement of Riyadh have absolutely no weight with regard to the ongoing battle in Yemen and the resistance in Yemen.

In Iraq, the Iraqi people have made their choice. Iraqi forces are headed for the final victory in Mosul where only small quarters remain (to be liberated). The People’s Committees have finished (liberating) the al-Qayrawan area and are heading towards al-Ba’aj and will continue to all areas. In Iraq, there is a national, official, popular consensus of parties and scholars to put an end to ISIS.

In Syria, there are more victories in the field, as happens in the south of Palmyra, east of Homs and elsewhere, and more defeats and retreats for the ISIS organization.

Let me tell you that this precautionary force, the 38,000 soldiers they are preparing to fight ISIS in 2018, good for you. But God willing, in 2018, there will be no more ISIS, neither in Iraq nor in Syria, at least in our region here. That’s it.

As far as the Resistance movements are concerned, you mentioned Hezbollah and Hamas, but in fact, all Resistance movements are targetted. All those who fight the Zionists and the [foreign] Occupation.

Hezbollah

I would also like to say to you: this Summit, these Declarations and these announcements will not accelerate nor delay anything at all. You have to realise that for example, Trump, the President of the United States, in his speech to the so-called summit, he praises Saudi Arabia and says that it resists and combats terrorism, and the evidence that he gave is that yesterday Saudi Arabia placed one of Hezbollah’s top leaders on the list of terrorist organizations. And [that’s it].

What I want to say to these Lebanese and Palestinian Resistance movements, whether they are called Hezbollah or any other name, Hamas or any other name, from the beginning, they know the path that they have chosen, they know the path they are treading, and they know what they are going to face along the way. We are registered [targetted], our name is on the list of terrorist organizations since the early 1980’s!

So what’s new for us? [We have been under] sanctions for a very long time. The media war has been going on for a long time, decades before the Riyadh summit. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent to tarnish our reputation. What more can you say than what you have already said? [You accuse us] of drug trafficking, stealing cars, terrorists, murderers and criminals. Good job, that’s good for you, what’s next? Tell us. I want to tell you, O my brothers and sisters, there is nothing new that we can fear from them. There is nothing new that we can fear from them. They are just repeating everything they have been doing over and over again for decades.

As for the movements of the Resistance, these movements of the Resistance, [from whence were] assassinated Sheikh Ahmad Yassin (Hamas), Doctor Fathi Chiqaqi (Islamic Jihad), Sayed Abbas al-Musawi and Hajj Imad Mughniyah (Hezbollah), they feared no threats of confrontation, fighting, war or death. With what can you come to us (to frighten us)? With martyrdom? We are the lovers of martyrdom! With death? “Ali is more attached to death than the suckling infant to the breast of his mother.” (Word of Imam Ali)

At your service, O Nasrallah! (audience shouts)

We are the children of the school advocated by Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, to his son Ali al-Akbar. (Al-Akbar) asked his father: “Are we not on the right path?” “Yes”, replied the Imam. (Al-Akbar) replied, “So little matter if we go to meet death or if death comes to meet us. As long as we are on the right track (we have no reason to fear death).”

As for Qasim, his 11 or 12 year old son, who is present in each of our houses, in Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Yemen, Bahrain, inside Saudi Arabia itself, and everywhere in the Islamic world, when asked what he thought of death (while fighting oppression), he replied: “It is more flavourful to me than honey.” Are you [then] threatening us with death?

We are not afraid of death, war, fighting, sanctions, intimidation or media defamation. All this, we have experienced, these means have been exhausted during all the past years. This is why the Resistance movements will not bear any impact, they will not be shaken, weakened or frightened, they will continue their actions and movements.

And I’m telling you more than that. We are today, we Resistance movements and within the Resistance Axis, we are today stronger than we have ever been. We are really stronger than we have ever been, absolutely ever. We are more numerous, more experienced, more determined, our faith, hopes and aspirations are higher than ever. Indeed.

We have an example of that that I mentioned in my last speech, the day of (the anti-terrorist summit of) Sharm el-Sheikh. Those who have just met in Riyadh do not even represent half of those who were in Sharm-el-Sheikh in 1996. At the time, there were the United States, Russia, China, European countries, the Arab countries, the African countries, they came from all over the world.

And they said there were three organizations they wanted to eradicate: Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad. And they included Iran and Syria as supporters (of these groups). And they made a conference, organized committees, and the Directors of the Intelligence services then met in Washington.

At that time, the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon was limited in resources and manpower. What we had best was Katyushas with a range of 20 kilometers. That was our maximum in 1996. Hamas and Islamic Jihad were some in prison, some in exile, some were hiding, etc. And Iran was emerging from a war and was in trouble. Syria was imposed a blockade and isolation.

Despite this, the Sharm-el-Sheikh Summit and all they did, as a result of the persistence of the Resistance in Lebanon, the persistence of the Resistance in Palestine, the perseverance of Syria, Iran, everything [they schemed] was overthrown. And after a few months, the whole world forgot [the summit of] Sharm-el-Sheikh, after a few months [only], not after a few years.

And today, where is the Resistance Axis in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq? In 1996, Iraq was with Saddam Hussein. Today, Iraq is ruled by its people, and it is the armed forces and people’s committees that brandish its blessed flag. And Iran, and Yemen! And the same in many parts of the world. The situation is different [now].

America at the time was something [formidable], but today it is something else. Israel at the time was something [unbeaten], but today is something else. Israel was attacking [all its neighbors at will], now it builds [defensive] walls [against Hezbollah]. So it’s a different matter, the conditions are very different [today].

As far as we are concerned, I want to tell you this: take things in a truly normal and natural way. I was long in my description, but I wanted to show that this is the reality of things. To speak in a familiar way, no need to get ourselves riled up about all this, there is nothing, nothing happened [that is of concern], really.

Larger Map http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UYS5QYOxsFo/UC02JGrTUTI/AAAAAAAAAHI/nKWuV-ZYEO8/s1600/US+military+bases+ME_1.jpg

So the United States would like to be more present in the region? Good for them. The worst thing that can happen, the worst is that the Americans come to the area. But they have already come to the region, brothers! They have already come. They occupied Iraq, threatened Syria, threatened Iran… And then the Iraqi Resistance and the persistence of the Resistance Axis in the region forced them to go out and withdraw. What can the United States want to do [again that could frighten us]?

Today, when we are people in our countries whom are determined to live in dignity, to remain on our lands… We have not gone to the other end of the world, [we are right] here [at home], we [only] defend our blood, our women, our honour, our property, our homes, our dignity and the future of our children and grandchildren.

And that is why we are stronger than the whole world. There is absolutely nothing that frightens us. We are stronger than ever. I do not say that [our enemies] are weaker than ever, I say they have less strength than ever.

And that is why we must take things with realism, assume our responsibility and continue on our path. We will continue to call to the end of the war against Yemen, to call for an opportunity for the Yemeni to negotiate, to call for an end to the aggression against the people of Bahrain and for the opening of negotiations, for stopping the support of terrorist takfiris in the region and seeking political solutions.

O my brothers and sisters, we said in 2006, based on the victory of May 2000 and the victory of July 2006, that the time of defeats is over, and that the time for victories has come. And these victories are before our very eyes, on all battlefields and on all terrains, the bitterest battles and the most difficult terrain. But the horizon, be certain, I repeat, trust in God and place your hopes in Him, trust in yourselves, trust in your people, and trust in your allies. We have confidence in our allies. We have confidence in all those we fight with.

As for you [Saudis]… anyway, Trump told them, he said, “It’s up to you to take responsibility, do not expect us to come and fight for you.” Yesterday, NATO… pardon, today, its Secretary General said [It was time anyway] that NATO will participate in the war against ISIS. But what did he say? “On the other hand, we will fight only from the air, we will not participate with ground forces.” “We will not participate with ground forces.” This [Trump] on which you count, it’s been awhile since he left you and sold you to the slave markets.

But in the Resistance Axis, the noble Fighters who are ready to sacrifice themselves, truthful, sincere, who have sent their loved ones to battle, who have stood firm for decades, will never leave this battlefield and never give up neither before the Riyadh summit and its summits, nor after the Riyadh summit and its meetings, speeches and statements.

This Resistance, this resilient [Muslim] Community, these Resistance movements, these resistant peoples, will continue to raise the flag [of the struggle]. This flag has been brandished, and it will never fall, until it fully realizes all the victories to which our peoples and our Community aspire.

We have absolute certainty. It is the promise of God, “And the promise of God is always fulfilled.” [Verse inscribed in the background – Koran, 17, 108]

May God Bless you and grant you Victory, and the peace of God be upon you, and His Mercy and Blessings.

I do not see the comparisons.

While people like to lionize JFK, they forget how dirty a politician JFK was. JFK accepted dirty money, and he made all the wrong promises to a lot of bad people.

President Trump used his own money and a record level of small donations from U.S. voters to fund his campaign. (President Trump could likely fund the US/Mexican border wall with fundraisers.)

JFK had his friends in Chicago and Texas steal the presidential election from Nixon.

JFK went along with supporting the globalist agenda until he lost his nerve with the plan to take Cuba from Castro, this caused the Bay of Pigs fiasco. This was the beginning of JFK’s downfall.

When JFK was finally killed, he was planning to turn on those whom put him in the White House.

In the end JFK made an enemy out of just about everyone but the media and the democrats. A lot of different people had motive to kill him. This is likely why the cover up went so smoothly, those JFK had crossed all wanted to sweep their connections to JFK under the rug.

On the other hand, President Trump seems to have only the media and democrats as his enemy.

In addition, JFK was a known adulterer with multiple woman and he had severe health problems. All of which the media willfully covered up for him.

President Trump has been married a few times. Though, all in all President Trump is faithful to his current wive. And the election showed that President Trump is healthier than more men half his age.

On a side note, anyone that has read about Nixon from his friend Roger Stone learns that Nixon was setup because he wanted to do a number of things that President Trump wishes to do.

The media celebrates the Nixon resignation as the day the media pulled a coup on the presidency. And the media is trying to do that with President Trump. But, President Trump is far craftier and he has his supporters using the internet to beat back the media lies.

A few months into a manipulation-ship years ago, I was done dealing with Pumpkin’s last minute changes of plans, her being flaky and putting my life on hold for a bunch of random, not even believable & totally fictitious reasons.

So towards the end, I stopped responding to her texts, didn’t answer my phone & went covert.

LOL. She would call a few times a day and Tex 15-20 times a day.

One her voicemails she left, she would say things like ‘I don’t know what’s going on with you right now. . .’ and ‘You just keep ignoring me. . .’

Until, finally – she cracked and gave up. (which I knew would happen)

One night at about 11pm I heard a car pull into my driveway and it was her.

I opened the door after she knocked and she came in and that was the beginning of a three day, non-stop f~~~ fest.

And it proved my theory at the time that they only want what they think they can’t have & will go nuts if they don’t have control of a situation.

She had been trying to maintain control via texts & calls while she was out securing orbiters and I just went into total shut down mode and it sent her into a frenzy.

Don’t fall for it. Women will say that too, when you’re 41 and finally affording the hot car you read about in Road&Track when you were 21 and couldn’t afford it.

That “mid-life crisis” is hers. She can’t shame you anymore like she could back than either. You weren’t good enough at 21, and at 41 they double down and tell you it’s a “mid life crisis”….. a bunch a hokey nonsense.

If anything, mid-life is when planets really start to align for you, but the world will not work with you , congratulate or admire you. It will be very jealous and resentful that you’re not enslaved. A free man is very troubling to their existence. You now become the man they are forever convinced doesn’t even exist.

A single doctor?? IMPOSSIBLE!! WHERE IS HE???

Enjoy the f~~~ out of it.

Maybe I am (going through a mid-life crisis), but I am definitely enjoying it.

No, you’re definitely NOT. That’s just what they CALL it. You’re enjoying it, so you can ask them to point out “the crisis”… and until they do, you can continue to throw your head back laughing as you speed away into the sunset with the top down listening to Journey at full blast. Don’t stop believin’.

Very understandable.
Good sign to get out of it and you’re in it for the wrong reasons.

Doctor Grim wrote:

I was introduced to MGTOW through YouTube. In the beginning I thought of MGTOW as a bit weird. Swearing off women?

Interesting (and unsurprising) that was the first significant description you heard about “mgtow”. But really, it’s only because men tend to make women a PRIMARY consideration – to their own detriment – even before themselves. So to some men, placing HIMSELF as the primary consideration may seem as radical as “swearing off women”, but it’s really only demoting them to secondary consideration at best.

This is not the position that women are used to taking – nor is it a preferred one. So they will say “MGTOW have sworn off women” – to make it “all about women” which is what they LOVE to do. They don’t admit the reality, that a woman is just demoted to a secondary consideration at best.

You thought it was “weird” because they skewed the perception of it. “Swearing off women” is an incomplete encapsulation of it. “Demoting women to a secondary consideration – if at all” is a better way to put it. But they won’t do that. Because they want to make mgtow look “weird”.

It’s not about “them” anymore.
It’s about YOU.

That’s not “weird”. It’s just awesome.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Update on Syria : Interview with President Bashar al-Assad.

Interview by teleSUR via Brandon Turbeville of the Information Clearing House
27th May 2017

The transcript of the interview with Bashar al-Assad is included below in this article. Assad addresses the United States involvement in the Syrian crisis, the Israeli role, and the attempt to destabilize Venezuela.

A small part of the interview that was off-topic was edited out by me. The full interview can be read in the citation.
Y>>

teleSUR (TS):
Mr. President, thank you for receiving us.

President Bashar al-Assad (BA):
I welcome you and teleSUR TV in Syria. You are welcome.

TS:
Let’s start directly with the latest developments. Russia has warned that there might be other alleged chemical attacks. What are the precautionary measures that Syria has taken in order to prevent that?

BA:
First of all, terrorists have used chemical materials more than once in the past several years and in more than one region throughout Syria. We have asked the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to send specialized missions to investigate what happened.

And every time, the United States obstructed these investigations or prevented sending such missions in order to carry out such investigations. This is what happened last week when we called for investigations over the alleged use of chemical weapons in the town of Khan Sheikhoun. The United States and its allies prevented OPCW from taking that decision.

As far as we are concerned, we still insist on an investigation, and we and our Russian and Iranian allies are trying to persuade OPCW to send a team to investigate what happened, because if it doesn’t, the United States might repeat the same charade by fabricating the use of false chemical weapons in another place in Syria in order to justify military intervention in support of the terrorists.

On the other hand, we continue to fight the terrorists, because we know that the objective of all these American and Western allegations concerning chemical weapons is to support terrorists in Syria. That’s why we will continue to fight these terrorists.

TS:
But the Pentagon says that Syria has chemical weapons. Is it true that Syria has kept one percent of the weapons it has committed itself to hand over and destroy four years ago?

BA:
You and I remember well what happened in 2003, when Colin Powell showed the world in the United Nations what he claimed to be the evidence which proves that President Saddam Hussein possessed chemical, nuclear, and other weapons.

However, when the American forces invaded Iraq, it was proven that all he said was a lie. Powell himself admitted that the American intelligence agencies deceived him with that false evidence. That wasn’t the first nor will it be the last time. This means that if you want to be a politician in the United States, you have to be a genuine liar.

This is what characterizes American politicians: they lie on a daily basis, and say something and do something different. That’s why we shouldn’t believe what the Pentagon, or any other American institution says, because they say things which serve their policies, not things which reflect reality and the facts on the ground.

TS:
What is the objective behind Syria’s desire to acquire the latest generation of anti-missile systems from Russia?

BA:
We are already in a state of war with Israel; and Israel has been committing aggressions on the Arab states surrounding it since its creation in 1948. So, it’s natural that we should have such systems.

However, the terrorists, acting on Israeli, American, Turkish, Qatari, and Saudi instructions have destroyed some of these systems. And it is natural for us to negotiate with the Russians now with a view to strengthening these systems, whether to face any Israeli threats from the air or the threats of American missiles.

That has become a real possibility after the recent American aggression on al-Shairat airbase in Syria.

TS:
What is the role that Israel, in particular, has played in this war against Syria? We know that Israeli attacks against the positions of the Syrian Arab Army have continued in recent weeks.

BA:
It is playing this role in different forms; first, by direct aggression, particularly by using warplanes, artillery, or missiles against Syrian Army positions.

Second, it is supporting terrorists in two ways: first by providing direct support in the form of weapons, and second by providing logistic support, i.e. allowing them to conduct military exercises in the areas it controls.

It also provides them with medical assistance in its hospitals. These are not mere claims or assumptions. They are facts, verified and published on the internet which you can easily access as proven evidence of the Israeli role in support of the terrorists in Syria.

TS:
How do you assess the current policy of Donald Trump in the world, and in Syria in particular?

BA:
The American President has no policies. There are policies drawn by the American institutions which control the American regime which are the intelligence agencies, the Pentagon, the big arms and oil companies, and financial institutions, in addition to some other lobbies which influence American decision-making.

The American President merely implements these policies, and the evidence is that when Trump tried to move on a different track, during and after his election campaign, he couldn’t. He came under a ferocious attack. As we have seen in the past few week, he changed his rhetoric completely and subjected himself to the terms of the deep American state, or the deep American regime.

That’s why it is unrealistic and a complete waste of time to make an assessment of the American President’s foreign policy, for he might say something; but he ultimately does what these institutions dictate to him. This is not new. This has been ongoing American policy for decades.

TS:
The American administration has opened a new front now with North Korea. Is it possible that this will affect the current American approach towards Syria?

BA:
No, the United States always seeks to control all the states of the world without exception. It does not accept allies, regardless of whether they are developed states as those in the Western bloc, or other states of the world.

Every state should be an American satellite. That is why what is happening to Syria, to Korea, to Iran, to Russia, and maybe to Venezuela now, aims at re-imposing American hegemony on the world, because they believe that this hegemony is under threat now, which consequently threatens the interests of American economic and political elites.

TS:
Russia’s role in the Syrian conflict is very clear; but what is the role of China, this other great global power?

BA:
There is great cooperation with Russia and China in terms of political action or political positions. Viewpoints are similar, and there is cooperation in the Security Council.

As you know, the United States and its allies have tried several times to use the Security Council in order to legitimize the role of the terrorists in Syria and to legitimize their role in the illegitimate and aggressive intervention in Syria.

That’s why Russia and China stood together, and China’s role, with the Russian role, was essential in this regard.

Moreover, some of the terrorists are Chinese nationals who came to Syria through Turkey. They pose a threat to us in Syria, but they pose an equal threat to China.

China is aware of the fact that terrorism in any place in the world moves to any other place; and consequently, whether these terrorists are of Chinese or any other nationality, they might return to China and strike there as they have done in Europe, in Russia, and in Syria. We are now cooperating with China on security issues.

TS:
Western and American media talk now about moderate terrorists and extremist terrorists. In reality, is there a difference between the two groups?

BA:
For them, a moderate terrorist is that who carries out acts of beheading and slaughter but without carrying al-Qaeda flag, or without saying “Allah Akbar,” while an extremist terrorist is that who carries the flag and says Allah Akbar when carrying out acts of beheading and slaughter. This is the only difference.

For the United States, all those who serve its political agenda against other states are classified as moderate opposition and not as extremist and terrorist, even if they commit the worst acts of terrorism. They are freedom fighters and not fighters in the cause of destruction and sabotage.

TS:
There have been six years of war in Syria. What is Syria’s position now, particularly in the absence of statistics about human losses?

BA:
The most painful loss in any war is human loss, the suffering which is inflicted any family when it loses one of its members; for the whole family is scarred for life. This is the natural feeling in a region like ours, where family ties are very strong.

Nothing compensates that loss, and nothing exceeds the pain it causes. There are of course huge economic and infrastructure losses, but this infrastructure has been built for a little over 50 years by Syrian hands, not foreign hands. And we have the capacity to rebuild this infrastructure. The same goes for the economy, for the Syrian economy is based on Syrian capabilities first and foremost; and our economic ties with the West have always been limited.

When the war is over, it will all be rebuilt. We do not have a problem with that. It is true that it takes time, but it is not impossible. So, the greatest and most painful loss for Syria is the human loss.

TS:
Of the 86 states constituting the alliance waging war on Syria, are there any that would take part in the process of reconstruction?

BA: No, of course not. First of all, they do not want to rebuild Syria, but some companies in those countries, if they see that the wheel of the economy and rebuilding has started to turn, and since they are opportunists, they are certainly prepared to come and have a share of rebuilding Syria in order to make money.

The Syrian people will certainly not accept this. All the states which stood against the Syrian people and took part in the destruction and sabotage will never take part in rebuilding Syria.

That is final.

TS:
But how was life during these past six years in this besieged country?

BA:
Life has certainly been tough to every Syrian citizen. The terrorists have destroyed the infrastructure. In certain areas, electricity is on for one or two hours, and there are areas in which there’s no electricity at all. There are areas in which electricity has been cut off for more than two or three years.

People don’t know television, children do not go to school, there are no medical clinics or hospitals, and nobody treats the ill. They live a prehistoric existence thanks to the terrorists.

There are areas which did not have water for years, like what happened in Aleppo, which did not have water for many long years. Sometimes, they use polluted water for drinking, washing up, and other purposes. Life has been very tough.

TS:
One of the main targets during these years has been the person of Bashar al-Assad. Have you ever felt fear during these years?

BA:
When you are in the middle of the war, you do not feel fear. I believe this is something common to all people. But you have a general concern for the homeland; for what is the value of being safe, as an individual, as a citizen, while the country is under threat? You cannot feel safe.

I believe that the feeling we have in Syria in general is concern for the future of Syria rather than personal fear. The evidence is that mortar shells fall anywhere, on any house; nevertheless, you see that life continues in Syria.

The will to life is much stronger than personal fear. As a President, I take strength from the feelings of the general public, not from my personal feelings. I do not live in isolation from the others.

TS:
Western media have been waging a media campaign against you. Am I sitting now with this devil portrayed by the media?

BA:
Yes, from a Western perspective, you are now sitting with the devil. This is how they market it in the West. But this is always the case when a state, a government, or an individual do not subjugate themselves to their interests, and do not work for their interests against the interests of their people.

These have been the Western colonial demands throughout history. They say that this evil person is killing the good people. Okay, if he is killing the good people, who have been supporting him for the past six years? Neither Russia, nor Iran, nor any friendly state can support an individual at the expense of the people.

This is impossible. If he is killing the people, how come the people support him? This is the contradictory Western narrative; and that’s why we shouldn’t waste our time on Western narratives because they have been full of lies throughout history, and not something new.

TS:
What can Syria, too, do in order to put an end to this war ahead of the sixth round of Geneva talks?

BA:
We said that there are two axes: the first is fighting the terrorists; and this is not subject to any discussion, and we don’t have any other choice in dealing with the terrorists except fighting them.

The other axis, the political one, includes two points: first, dialogue with the different political forces over the future of Syria; and second: local reconciliations, in the sense that we negotiate with the terrorists in a certain village or city, depending on each case separately.

The objective of this reconciliation is for them to lay down their weapons and receive an amnesty from the state, and consequently return to their normal life. This approach has been implemented during the past three or four years, has succeeded, and is ongoing now. These are the axes which we can work on in order to find a solution to the Syrian crisis.

TS:
From the perspective of a country in a state of war, how do you see the situation in Latin America, particularly in Venezuela, where a number of acts very similar to those which caused the conflict in Syria have emerged?

BA:
Of course, they should be similar, because the party planning and implementing these acts is the same. It is the United States as a maestro and the Western states constituting the choir.

Latin America in general, and Venezuela in particular, used to be the backyard of the United States for decades. Through that backyard, Western states, particularly North America, or the United States, used to secure their economic interests through the influence of the big companies in your countries.

Military or political coups in Latin America during the 1960s and the 1970s aimed at perpetuating American hegemony over the interests of your people. But Latin America freed itself during the past twenty years and gained its independent decision-making. Governments started defending the interests of their peoples, which is unacceptable to the United States.

That’s why they are exploiting what’s happening in the world, starting with the orange revolution in Ukraine up to the recent coup there a few years ago, and what is taking place in the Arab countries, in Libya, Syria, Yemen and others, in order to implement it in Latin America. They started in Venezuela with the objective of overthrowing the national government, and it will spread over to other Latin American countries.

TS:
Some people, particularly ordinary citizens in Latin America, think that a scenario similar to what’s happening in Syria could be repeated in Latin America. What do you think?

BA:
This is true. That’s why I say since the party planning and implementing is the same, it’s natural that the scenario is not only similar, but identical. Some local elements might be different.

In Syria, they said in the beginning that there were peaceful demonstrations, but in fact, when these peaceful demonstrations did not spread wide enough, they implanted individuals who fired on both sides, on the police and the demonstrations, and there were casualties.

They started to say that the state is killing the people, and this scenario is being repeated everywhere. The same scenario will be repeated in Venezuela. That’s why the Venezuelan people have to be very careful. There is a difference between opposing the government and being against the homeland, a huge difference.

On the other hand, no foreign state can be more concerned about Venezuela’s interests than the Venezuelan people themselves.

Do not believe the West, for it’s not concerned either about human rights or about the interests of states. It is only concerned about the interests of part of the governing elites in its countries. And these governing elites are not necessarily politicians, they are economic companies too.

TS:
How does Bashar al-Assad envision the end of the war?

BA:
Today, foreign intervention in Syria aside, the problem is not complicated, for the majority of the Syrians are tired of the war and want a solution. They want to return to safety and stability.

There is a dialogue between us as Syrians, there are meetings, and people live with each other, i.e. there is no real barrier. The problem now is that with every step we make towards a solution and regaining stability, the terrorist gangs receive more money and weapons in order to blow the situation up. That’s why I can say that the solution should be stopping outside support to the terrorists.

As far as we are concerned in Syria, reconciliation among all Syrians, and forgetting and forgiving all that happened in the past throughout this war, is the way to restore safety to Syria. Rest assured that Syria will be then much stronger than it was before the war.

TS:
Are you prepared to have reconciliation with those who carried arms against the Syrian people?

BA:
Of course, and this has actually happened in many and different places, and some of them have fought side by side with the Syrian Army, some fell martyrs, and some returned to their cities and live in the part under government control.

We don’t have a problem. Tolerance is essential to end any war. And we are proceeding on that track.

TS:
Mr. President, what is your message to Latin America and the world?

BA:
Keep your independence. We, in the Arab region, are celebrating independence in more than one country. But this independence used to mean, in a number of countries in the region, the mere evacuation of occupying forces.

But real independence happens when you are in possession of your national decision-making. For us, Latin America was a model of independence, in the sense that occupiers were evacuated, in case there were foreign forces, but at the same time there was national decision-making, openness, and democracy.

You provided the world with an important model. So, keep it, because if the countries of the third and developing world wanted to develop, they should follow the model implemented in Latin America.

TS:
Mr. President, thank you for giving teleSUR this interview, and thank you for your precious time and all the information that you have provided.

BA:
Thank you for coming, and once again I welcome you in Damascus.

[NoMoreParticipant]

What women want is control. During the marriage they do their utmost to control you through sex, finances, and children. You become an indentured servant whose debt will be finally paid in full at your funeral. If you try to leave early, she will demand and use every resource to excise whatever debt, monetary or misery, she feels you owe and that she deserves.

When you file for divorce, you remove yourself from direct control and she has to use indirect control through the kids, money extraction, property, and just about anything she can think of. You had a fishing trip planned for months, well I just started a new job and I can’t find a babysitter. You’ll have to cancel and take care of them. You found a handyman to repair the drywall, well geez, I’m suddenly busy that day. So, you need to leave work early and be at the house. You call to talk to you kid, geez, I just put him down for a nap. You call back later and, well darn, he wasn’t feeling well. So, I put him to bed early.

When you’re living in a friend’s bedroom and she’s living in your house rent free, she doesn’t expect to have to pay the bills. Despite that you separated bank accounts and gave her a generous amount of money, she isn’t spending HER money on the bills. Your only recourse is to pay the bills so your kid has lights, AC, and TV. You can’t keep your kid at your friends house because you only have a bedroom. So, you are forced to endure hours of badgering, snide remarks, and insults just to spend time with your kid.

I have truly had my eyes opened to how much a woman wants control. They have a desperation to retain it after you remove yourself and will use any damn thing they can to attempt to exert it over your life.

A co-worker recently told me, "If you want to see who someone really is, divorce them." I have found out how true this is. When your wife drops the façade of being the caring partner, you will witness all of the greed, hate, and spite that she has masked. It is truly breathtaking!

Canada’s House Price Bubble

Thanks to Wolf Richter of Wolfstreet and Tyler Durden of ZeroHedge for the material which has been edited for posting. The original articles are in the citation list.

During the first two weeks in May 2017, according to preliminary data from the Toronto Real Estate Board, home listings surged 47% from the same period last year even as sales plunged 16%. The average selling price dropped 3.3% from April – and this, after a 33% year-over-year spike in home prices in March and a 25% surge in April. Something is happening to Toronto’s blistering house price bubble.

The Contagion

Canada’s largest alternative mortgage lender, Home Capital Group, which focuses on new immigrants and subprime borrowers turned down by the banks, is melting down after a run on its deposits that crushed its funding sources. The industry is worried about contagion.

Home Capital Group, Canada’s biggest “alternative” mortgage lender, is not a bank – which today is part of its problem because it cannot create money to lend out; it has to obtain it first by attracting deposits and borrowing money through other channels.

Through its subsidiary, Home Trust, it specializes in high-profit mortgages to risky borrowers, with dented credit or unreliable incomes who don’t qualify for mortgage insurance and were turned down by the banks. This includes subprime borrowers

Since revelations of liar loans (what!, liar loans in Canada?!) surfaced in 2015, things have gone to heck. Now it’s experiencing a run on its deposits. Teetering at the abyss, it obtained a $2 billion bailout loan recently. The terms are onerous. And the next day to that loan the crux of the deal emerged – the amount of mortgages it has to post as collateral. It’s a doozie.

It sheds some light on what insiders think mortgages and the homes that back them are worth when push comes to shove. A bone-chilling wake-up call for the Canadian housing and mortgage market.

This is when the whole construct started falling apart:

On July 30, 2015, it disclosed, upon the urging of the Ontario Securities Commission, the results of an investigation that had been going on secretly since September 2014 into “falsification of income information.” Liar loans.

It suspended 45 mortgage brokers who’d together originated in 2014 nearly C$1 billion in residential mortgages, or 12.5% of its total

On April 26, 2017, Home Capital announced that it was experiencing a run on its deposits. As of the end of March, its subsidiary Home Trust sat on about C$2 billion in high-interest savings accounts (HISA) it is offering to regular savers. But these folks were pulling their money out, it said, and the pace of the run was accelerating.

It also disclosed that it was finalizing a $2 billion bailout loan from the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP) which has about $70 billion in assets. The loan would “have a material impact on earnings….” So an expensive loan.

The Big Picture

At the same time, the provincial government of Ontario announced a slew of drastic measures, including a 15% tax on purchases by non-resident foreign investors to tamp down on the housing market insanity that left many locals unable to buy even a modest home.

It comes after Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz warned in April that home prices are in “an unsustainable zone,” that the market “has divorced itself from any fundamentals that we can identify,” that there was “no fundamental story that we could tell to justify that kind of inflation rate in housing prices,” and that “It’s time we remind folks that prices of houses can go down as well as up. People need to ask themselves very carefully, ‘Why am I buying this house?”’

In May 2017 Moody’s Investors Service downgraded Canada’s six largest banks on concerns over their exposure to the housing bubble and household indebtedness that ranks among the highest in the world:

“We are seeing people who paid those crazy prices over the last few months walking away from their deposits,” Carissa Turnbull, a Royal LePage broker in the Toronto suburb of Oakville, told Bloomberg. She said they didn’t get a single visitor to an open house over the weekend. “They don’t want to close anymore.”

“Definitely a perception change occurred from Home Capital,” Shubha Dasgupta, owner of Toronto-based mortgage brokerage Capital Lending Centre, told Bloomberg.

“In less than one week we went from having 40 or 50 people coming to an open house to now, when you are lucky to get five people,” Case Feenstra, an agent at Royal LePage Real Estate Services Loretta Phinney in Mississauga, Ontario, told Bloomberg. “Everyone went into hibernation.”

“I’ve had situations where buyers are trying to find another buyer to take over their deal,” Toronto real estate lawyer Mark Weisleder told Bloomberg. Some clients want out of transactions, he said. “They are nervous whether they bought right at the top and prices may come down.” Home Capital had “a bigger impact on the market” than Ontario’s announcement of the new rules, he said.

“Home Capital is affecting things because people who can’t get mortgages from the banks rely on them and other b-lenders,” Lorand Sebestyen, an agent with iPro Realty in Toronto, told Bloomberg. “If you can’t get the mortgage then you obviously can’t buy anything and it’s going to affect the market, especially for the higher-priced properties.”

“It’s fear,” said Joanne Evans, owner of Century 21 Millennium, about the impact of Home Capital on housing. “It’s another contributing factor to the fear of ‘what’s going to happen?”

And it’s ever so slowly sinking in more broadly.

In Canada, the theory has spread that real estate values can never-ever go down in any significant way – on the theory that they always go up – because they didn’t take a big hit during the Financial Crisis, and because the prior declines have been forgotten. So optimism about rising home prices had been huge.

Now weekly polling data by Nanos Research for Bloomberg is showing the first signs of second thoughts. Two weeks ago, the share of people saying home prices would rise in the next six months was a record 50.1%. The following week, it dropped to 47.7%. In the most recent poll, it dropped to 46%.

But those who are able to sell at what appears to be the very tippy-top of the market are not complaining. Bloomberg cites business school professor Michael Hartmann who put his north Toronto home up for sale on May 17 sold it on May 22 for C$1.65 million, C$10,000 above asking price. He and his wife are planning to rent and see.

So, can a US-style banking crisis hit Canada?

This comes up constantly in discussions on the current house price bubbles in some cities in the US and Canada, and whether a US-style crisis could happen in Canada: The housing bust in the US during the Financial Crisis was marked by banks receiving “jingle mail” from homeowners who saw the value of their homes plunge and their equity turn negative. These folks just turned in the keys to the bank.

These “strategic defaults,” it is said, won’t happen in Canada because mortgages are “recourse,” and in the US they’re “non-recourse.” We hear this constantly. But it’s wrong.

In its working paper, the Richmond Fed tried to determine if there were differences in default rates in recourse states v. non-recourse states – “the first study looking at difference in how borrowers default,” it said.

In recourse states, banks’ collecting on residential “purchase” mortgages after default is limited to the value of the collateral (the home). If the debt is larger than the value of the home, usually determined by proceeds from the foreclosure sale, the lender is generally barred from trying to collect the remainder of the debt from the borrower.

In non-recourse states, lenders may obtain a “deficiency judgment” and try to recoup the mortgage debt beyond the value of the collateral.

For homes priced at origination substantially above the median price, “strategic defaults” were more likely in non-recourse states than in recourse states.

Some states require judicial foreclosures (in court), others require non-judicial foreclosures, and in some, both are an option. And there are numerous other laws that impact results.

In Canada, only Alberta and Saskatchewan are non-recourse provinces and only if it is not insured by the government’s mortgage insurer CMHC.

In the rest of Canada, mortgages are generally recourse loans. If the mortgage is insured, the CMHC may pursue the borrower for the deficiency.

But here’s the thing: In the US, only 11 states are non-recourse. Yet the housing bust and foreclosure crisis was spread across much of the country and crushed lenders in recourse states just as hard, including in Florida and Nevada.

It caused the government and the Fed to bail out the banks and the federal mortgage insurers (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac).

In that respect, the US and Canada are on the same level: In a smaller part of the country, mortgages are non-recourse; in the vast majority of the country, mortgages are recourse. Government entities insure certain types of mortgages in both countries.

Mortgage-backed securities exist in both countries, as do subprime borrowers. Loans for down payments are a thriving industry in Canada that even the provincial government of British Columbia has now entered.

Recourse was no protection in the US against defaults and a financial crisis.

This shows that when housing implodes hard enough after an enormous bubble, and if the bust is associated with a broader economic downturn, as housing busts inevitably are, in the end, what happened in the US can happen in Canada.

The question now being asked, years too late:
How will this end?

Hello all,

I wasn’t going to post about the MGTOW expedition until I’d collected my thoughts and read through my journal. Just wanted to say thanks to all who made me welcome from the moment I arrived. Yes I wanted to go see YZF-R1 but I had no idea how the long distance driving would tire me so cut short my plans.

Spent many happy hours engaging myself in US culture as opposed to the corporate Disney experience of my fellow airline passengers. They will have learnt nothing about the USA whereas I have learnt much.

The Southern hospitality tradition is both heartwarming but also bloody annoying to someone who likes to pay his way. I found the only way to pay my share was to get to the cash register first.

The food is awesome, the people friendly and open, the scenery vast and beatiful. The cities (I Saw) were clean orderly and well maintained. Gas is 1/3 of the price we pay in the UK. Food is cheap, but eating out at a Bar can get expensive.

Burner phones are a total rip off and expire after 30 days. The equivalent here lasts until your credit runs out as long as you make 1 call a month.

Electricity and Natural Gas are more expensive, Property Tax rules are based on your neighbour’s values and not the value of your house. If he upgrades you pay more etc.

Speed limits are ignored by most, It’s impossible to live witout a car unless you live in the middle of a city, Road systems are designed to help traffic safely flow, not the opposite as is the case here.

No one picks a fight for fun as they may be attacking someone who carries, Just about all adult males have at least one firearm.

The Civil War never really ended and still exists in each new generation that comes along. Many people are mightily p~~~ed off at the Federal Government and fully expect some kind of future totalitarian state to be impossed. They are preparing themselves accordingly.

Women, like the cars they drive, are slightly larger on average than their European counterparts, but that is not to say that many are in as good or better shape as the Europeans counterparts especially when young.

The Sun is unbelievably HOT! The humidity makes life without AC uncomfortable. When it rains it really rains. You can’t see 5 yards in front of you, but some nutters still insist on driving in it (Pete!)

Anyone, anywhere will try and sell you anything at anytime. Tipping is a fine art. Hooters is overrated and a bit creepy. Appleby’s is great.

Grits are what you put on a plate and not get in your eye. Peanuts are best eaten after boilling. Catfish now comes from Cambodia. Rolling tabacco is almost impossible to buy in any recognisable form and you only get 24 papers as opposed to 50 here.

Firearms are an addictive passion for many and owners have their own subculture in which to enjoy them.

Some Red Lights never turn Green. If you want to turn Left make sure you look Right first.

Some people actually have the job of being a Human traffic signal by holding up a reversing Stop Go sign, rather than just placing a temporary traffic light. I made one guy Jump back in terror when he realised I wasn’t going to stop in time.

Houses are Bungallows of either Brick or Wood construction but the plot of land is huge. Roadside Mailboxes start to make sense. A short run to the store can be 20 miles. Juengling is the only Beer worth drinking ;-).

The Moon River reflects the Moon but didn’t appear to be Wider than a Mile We did however cross in Style using the standard White (no other colour makes sense) Pick Up Truck.

Never check into an airport departure lounge if you’re hungry (Bag of Chips $6 Sandwich $14).

Snooty Chicks are the same in Orlando as in anywhere else in the world and were the only rude people I came accross during my stay.

Everyone wears shorts and short sleve shirts. Suits are not required.

Finally To all I met who generously gave up their time to make me welcome. THANK YOU! I shall miss you all and as I mentioned to Pete on my last day, It started to feel normal to be there and if I had stayed any longer I wouln’t have wanted to return.

Everyone was more than the posts they put on this site. Everyone has more to them than they can show here.

If we can get together more in person or over Skype etc. then my mission will have been a success.

And yes Pete. It does seem kinda’ quiet now not having someone to share thoughts and experiences with, but hopefully we can do it again soon.

Till next time.

It's Time to get Wise

[Ned TrentParticipant]

Ha ha ha.

So why do they only get this idea now…?

Blimey, I mean in the long run this was just bound to happen anyway, not least to cover each other’s tracks as well as track records so much so, that finally nobody will ever have any (back tracking) clue anymore about anything whatsoever. In that sense quite a genius kinda plan, but then again utterly stupid concerning the final result at the same damn time…

The

retard!!!

I'd rather die a natual death with a clear MGTOW conscience somewhere off the grid than one within "modern" civilisation with a big stress mark on my forehead and a couple of dozen tubes plugged into my body. Back to the plantation..? Me..? Hey, literally: I won't ever fucking kid myself...YZERLMNTSIC

Pete, the country went off the cliff on Nov 9th 2016 when the democrats had a collective meltdown at Donald Trump winning the presidential election.

The meltdown happened quickly.

President Trump was announced the winner just after 3:00 AM EST on Nov 9th 2016.

The globalist has their riots start at 4:00 AM EST on Nov 9th 2016.

Since then the democrats and the globalists have been working to illegally overthrow President Trump any way their can.

Alex Jones and others are screaming how the democrats are planning to impeach President Trump, based on lies, within six months.

Alex Jones might be right.

But, almost everyone knows President Trump is a long shot at fixing this nation. He is trying and I respect him for that.

For many people whom voted for President Trump, they felt doing so was more of a dare. A challenge for the globalists to openly cross a line.

As Michael Moore put it, Trump is that burning Molotov c~~~tail the voters would throw at D.C. And that c~~~tail has made quite a fire.

Most of those whom voted for Trump have only their guns and bibles left to cling too. They would like nothing more than to tear it all down. And helping Trump win the presidency was a legal way to do it.

By President Trump winning, the globalists are now in a no win situation.

If the globalists collapse the market, Trump is more likely to nullify the debts than to go the austerity route. Trump is well known for his bankruptcies.

If the globalists have Trump impeached based off of lies, that will be the final straw that will destroy what is left of legitimacy of government.

The pro-Trump supporters will see that their votes have been subverted, that the will of the people have been subverted, and they will rise up.

Also, take into account that President Trump has wide spread support from the police, military, and private gun owners in this nation. And President Trump has done a lot to reward that support. Every other days, President Trump is arranging funding and giving support to one of these three groups.

President Trump is no fool. He wants to make sure if it comes down to it that the majority of those with the guns in this nation will siding with him.

Also, the globalists have no voice to try to calm down and convince the people their actions are correct. Even the globalist media shills admit that almost no one believes their bulls~~~ anymore: http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/334897-poll-majority-says-mainstream-media-publishes-fake-news

Right now there are rumors on the web that the globalists are gearing up to fund their army of useful idiots in a attempt at a color revolution/summer of violence in the U.S.

The globalists do not understand that President Trump will drop the hammer on their useful idiot and likely the globalists funding this mess through RICO investigations of whom paid these useful idiots to start such riots.

Also, the cathartic feeling the pro-Trump supporters will have over watching the hammer drop on the useful idiots will only increase their support for President Trump.
