World War Update.
“Our community thinks we are pirates getting illegal money. But we consider ourselves heroes running away from poverty. We don't see the hijacking as a criminal act but as a road tax because we have no central government to control our sea. With foreign warships now on patrol we have difficulties. But we are getting new boats and weapons. We will not stop until we have a central government that can control our sea.”
Abdiqani Hassan, Somali Pirate Boss, 2008
“In an honest service, there is thin victuals, low wages and hard labour. In this, plenty and satiety, pleasure and ease, liberty and power…No, a merry life and short one shall be my motto.”

“Somalia has 1,900 miles of coastline, a government that knows its place, and all the guns and wives you can afford to buy. Why have I never heard of this paradise before?”
— Chevy Chase as Pierce Hawthorne, “Community”
Looks like the first world nations are giving up on trying to save Somalia for civilization. The Somalis are just too persistent in their folly, and the various foreign aid donors have belatedly come to realize that the country will forever be nothing but a money pit. Unless of course one could get rid of all the Somalis, then it would be some of the best beach front property on earth.
“Somalis, in general, have a problem with being answerable to anyone not in their extended family or clan. This is why massive corruption persists and a growing number of foreign aid donors are cutting their aid or halting it entirely. This includes the United States, a major provider of food, as well as the main support for the Somali Army. The military aid is plundered more frequently and extensively than the food and medical aid but the extent of corruption in general throughout the Somali government never seems to decline. The corruption in the military is obvious because so many Somali Army units, when facing combat, seem to fail miserably. What is really happening is that an infantry company with about 150 troops on the payroll (that foreign aid pays for) might have only a few dozen actual troops because the rest are absent because they never existed in the first place (but the pay goes to a corrupt officer of politician) or deserted because they were not being paid.”
“Foreign relations are also crippled by corruption. For example, European nations find that they can get Somalia to accept the return of Somalis who illegally entered Europe only if bribes are paid to Somali government officials. This sort of thing is illegal, or simply political trouble, in many European nations but in most cases, the details of the “diplomatic agreement” is declared classified and everyone pretends the corruption doesn’t exist.”
While most Somalis believe there is a Somali culture all Somalis share far fewer Somalis believe in the “civil society” required to create a functioning nation and government. Some civil societies are more effective (less corrupt) than others but Somalia appears incapable of creating and sustaining a government foreign aid donors can justify supporting. The problem is that when it comes to foreign aid the demand is much larger than the supply and donor nations prefer to send their money to nations that will use more of it as intended. Even the UN is planning to shut down the peacekeeping operation soon because there seems little hope that the Somali Army will ever be effective enough to replace the peacekeepers.

Invasion USA / Second Mexican War Update.
WROL coming to Mexico. The USA is on the cusp of having a large failed third world state right up against its southern border. Build the wall! Keep your doors and windows locked! Keep a gun handy.
“Whoever wins Sunday's presidential election will have to face not only Mexico's drug cartels, but a new kind of crime involving whole neighborhoods defying police and military personnel.”
“It was on display in the Jalisco state town of Ciudad Guzman — a stronghold of the Jalisco New Generation cartel — in early June, when a crowd of men and women gathered around two pickups carrying armed Mexican marines. They taunted the troops, throwing rocks and water bottles at them and kicking one repeatedly as he was helped away by two comrades. Purportedly protesting a young man's disappearance, the crowd later spray-painted the cartel's initials on a bashed-up marine vehicle.”
Such "socialized" or "mass" crimes are spreading in Mexico as entire communities empty freight trains of merchandise or steal hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel from pipelines.”
"The logic of the people is that they see politicians and officials stealing big time ... and they see themselves as having the same right to steal as the big-time politicians," said Edgardo Buscaglia, an international crime expert and research fellow at Columbia University. "You begin to create an ethical code in which, 'If the upper-class people can steal and get away with it, we can steal, too, with complete justification.'"
"….This is the type of scene you see in failed states, where you don't just have organized crime, but you have an organized criminal population with an extensive social base," Silva Herzog said.

“Record homicide levels have cost Brazil 450 billion reals ($120 billion) in lost productivity over two decades — a sum almost equal to the Marshall Plan, the U.S. World War II aid package for Europe.”

Invasion USA / Second Mexican War Update.
Mexico will get decidedly unfriendlier if Marxist Socialist candidate AMLO wins that countries presidential election next month.
“By the way, Lopez Obrador has suggested that he may give amnesty to Mexico’s drug cartels. Those are the people who produce and import the opioids that have destroyed the center of this country, the ones that kill tens of thousands of Americans every year, the fentanyl that comes from Mexico. People who produce that and kill Americans — off scot-free. But it turns out Lopez Obrador’s constituency isn’t just in his own country, it’s here. That’s odd because we’re told over and over again that immigrants are eager to assimilate here in America, but apparently Lopez Obrador didn’t get that memo. Just last year he campaigned for the presidency of Mexico in more than a dozen American cities since Mexican citizens living abroad are still allowed to vote back home.”

Mexico’s Upcoming Election Is a Reminder That We Border the Unfriendly Third World

Anyone who has paid attention for more than a minute to Mexico’s attitude toward the United States must recognize that it views us as a predator sees its prey, and Washington has not done anything to dissuade their evil intentions. America’s squishy borders allow Mexico to export its poverty and avoid reform, while receiving billions of dollars in remittances yearly from its loyal citizens — collecting a record $28,126,000,000 in 2016.
Now the top-ranked presidente candidate, communist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, has declared that immigration to the United States is a “human right” for all Mexicans.
It’s odd that a candidate would campaign for the right of his citizens to leave for another country rather than explain his plans to improve the nation he hopes to run, but Mexico is odd in basic ways.
What’s not to mistrust about our corrupt and hostile neighbor?
Tucker Carlson had a fine explanatory introduction to the subject of Mexican perfidy a couple days back. When he turned to interview Jorge Ramos, the Mexican journalist unsurprisingly proceeded to argue for Obrador and call Trump racist for defending the US border — making it look like Tucker was right on target with his criticism.
TUCKER CARLSON: You’ve heard a lot recently about the sinister influence of foreign countries on our government. Our enemies abroad we are told: take advantage of our political system to hurt us and help themselves. Well we’re right to be worried about that: it’s actually happening. The chief offender is not Russia, though: it’s Mexico. Mexican authorities encourage illegal immigration into our country. They publish instructions showing illegal aliens how to evade deportation from here. They guide migrant caravans north on their way to America. They send their poorest people here because it’s cheaper than taking care of them. Their America is now Mexico’s social safety net, and that’s a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class.
In 10 days Mexican voters will select a new president. The favorite in that race as of tonight is a man named Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. In a speech on Tuesday, Lopez Obrador said that as president, his administration will quote “defend all the migrants in the American continent and all the migrants in the world who must leave their towns and find a life in the United States.” He added that everybody in this world has a human right to enter our country, the United States of America. And when you think about it, you can see why he feels that way because in a recent speech he also admitted that the Mexican economy is dependent upon remittances from the U.S. to Mexico.

Jorge Ramos is one of those Mexican citizens as well as Univision anchor, and he joins us tonight, thank you very much for coming. Tell me a little more about this right of all the people in the world to come to the United States — where does that right come from?
JORGE RAMOS: What he has said is that he’s vowing to be a president for the 130 million Mexicans in Mexico and for the about 12 million Mexicans here in the United States, so don’t expect a Lopez Obrado to be a spineless and weak president like Pena Nieto. It’s going to be a completely different relationship between Lopez Obrador if he wins and President Donald Trump.
Perhaps at that point, Americans will realize that Mexico is not a friend.
Bitchez be Crazy Update.
Fascinating. A gun control fail in Hong Kong. A female professional body guard engages in family annihilation. To commit the murders the suspect used a handgun that Chinese authorities suspect was smuggled into the country by mailing the disassembled parts piece by piece. Ordered through the dark web perhaps? Judging from the police photograph of the handgun and ammunition seized the piece appears to be a Beretta model 950 Jetfire semi-automatic pistol in .25 ACP caliber. The 950 is out of production now; however, Beretta still manufactures two double-action versions, the 21A Bobcat, available in either .25 ACP or .22 LR caliber, and the 3032 Tomcat in .32 ACP caliber. The baby Berettas are handy and reliable pocket guns. FYI James Bond carried a Beretta 418 in .25 ACP caliber (long out of production), until Q issued him the Walther PPK in 7.65mm (.32 ACP) caliber for his adventures in Dr. No.
One wonders why there aren’t many more domestic murders in Hong Kong, packed 20 to a room like they are. LOL! There would be if the Chinese were as temperamental and impulsive as the many ethnicities populating America are, eh? Absent firearms the Chinese have traditionally done good execution in carrying out assassinations with knives, cleavers and hatchets. The American expression ‘hatchet man’ is derived from the depredations of the Chinese Tong hit men in San Francisco years back.

This is not an all together crazy way to think. It might make things worse but for those that are tired of being ripped off it might make things a little better for them.
I read a book and quite a few articles on gang stalking. The police are allowing this to go on and sometimes are part of it. It's definitely a real thing. One guy got some special forces buddies friends to track the people who were stalking him and it led back to a University. He sued and won. They were caught.
I've seen videos people put up of people stalking a guy. What they didn't know was he had long range cameras where he could zoom in and show them talking and coordinating with each other. They were far enough away that couldn't tell this.
There's a guy recently that got sick of the stalking by police and ambushed several of them. I think 2 died. He explicitly stated online that if the police were not going to clean up the corruption that some were going to start losing their pass in society and be treated like criminals.
People are getting sick of the corruption of the police, the security services and the politicians. At some point they may make an example of some of them.
