Flashermac Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 A friend who served in VISTA (the so called "domestic Peace Corps") with Hispanics in the Southwest and the actual Peace Corps (in both Thailand and Samoa) considers the exploitation of illegals as low paid workers to be the modern equivalent of slavery. He has seen the way they are treated by their wealthy employers in animal slaughterhouses and other distasteful work that no one else would do for what they are paid. The Mexican government also is not about to stop it, since the illegals send much of their money back to their families, an amount running into the millions of US$. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hrt9k-GJEMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Kim Jong-un keeps on building Nuke stuff The satellite image on the left was taken on April 1. The right was taken June 29. Picture: Planet LabsSource:Supplied WORRYING new satellite images show Kim Jong-un is still upgrading his nuclear sites, despite signing a denuclearisation pledge. New images analysed by the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in California have revealed North Korea is completing a massive expansion of a key nuclear plant. According to The Wall Street Journal, Pyongyang was finishing construction on the plant around the same time Mr Kim met President Donald Trump in Singapore last month, suggesting it will not bow to US pressures to abandon its nuclear weapons... https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/satellite-images-suggest-kim-jongun-may-have-lied-about-denuclearisation/news-story/bee097fb088446c6b301071cb96b4928 Who woulda thunk? People on this board were telling me, this Meeting in Singapore, was the worlds best denuclearisation meeting, that the world has ever seen. 11 out of 10, and A+++, Trump triumphs again... Finally, the biggest, the most historic, should be worth 27 Nobel Peace Prizes at least! 1,000% best ratings ever! I guess they coulda been wrong... OK ladies, herein and heretofore, from this moment on, I'm giving up criticising Trump, it's just too easy and too obvious now, it's like saying, I think water is wet, wait, you'll seee.....

The Mexican government also is not about to stop it, since the illegals send much of their money back to their families, an amount running into the millions of US$. On that note, he's quite right, that historically the Wealthy have underpaid and often treated badly, the less fortunate in their employ. I also think, that they've tried to move the level at which the worker, experiences hardship, up through the ranks so that, even in supposed 'Modern, Progressive' western economies, the majority of workers are now in the unfortunate situation of being unable to attain the "middle class" dream. If 'TheOwner' has an income of $1,000,000 and he pays 100 people $10, then manages to 'restructure' so he's now paying 90 people $9, they he's saved himself $190, or increase his income to $1,000,190. Woo Hoo! And put 10 people out of work and reduced the quality of life for 90 people. Eventually what happens? See where this is heading? What a hero.

cavanami Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Is The Left Trying To Kill Rand Paul? Kentucky Senator repeatedly victimized by violent liberals Within the last year, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has been violently targeted in three separate incidents by unhinged leftists, suggesting he’s their public enemy number one in Congress. First, he was shot at by a deranged Bernie supporter last July at a Virginia baseball field that left Republican Sen. Steve Scalise critically wounded. “Everybody probably would have died except for the fact that the Capitol Hill police were there and the only reason they were there was because we had a member of (House) leadership on our team,†Paul told MSNBC. A few months later, Paul’s Democrat next-door neighbor inexplicably attacked the Kentucky senator outside his home, leaving him with six broken ribs and a lung condition. Most recently, another rabid anti-Trump leftist was arrested after threatening to butcher Paul and his family with an axe. Why is this happening? Paul is likely the most Constitutionally-principled member of Congress, nearly as consistent as his father, former congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), who was famously known for stubbornly adhering to his classical liberal principles for decades. Perhaps that answers the question: the left views Paul as an existential threat to its agenda because he champions the Constitution and Bill of Rights eloquently and often. You’d think the media would be concerned about the repeated violent targeting of a sitting U.S. Senator, but they actually almost seem proud of it! “Rand Paul is not having a good year,†CNN commentator Ana Navarro tweeted Monday. https://www.infowars.com/is-the-left-trying-to-kill-rand-paul/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 What is it about Rand Paul, that he could change, to avoid these attacks? His hairstyle? The cut of his suit? His political affiliations? Or maybe, just maybe, when all around you are insane, maybe it's you, maybe it's not them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Good point there. We you are insane you imagine that people are shooting at you, are beating you up, and are making threats to kill you and your family. It's a typical delusion of insane people.

Coss Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Perhaps my point was rather inelegantly put, vis, if the whole world wants to kill you, perhaps they've got a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
