The brilliant Daniel Greenfield

on Liberal Newspeak:
‘..The dictionary of Liberal Newspeak is full of empty and meaningless words. Community, Care, Access, Sharing, Concern, Affordability, Options, Communication, Listening, Engage, Innovating and a thousand others like it are wedged into sentences. Entire pages can be written almost entirely in these words without a single note of meaning intruding on the proceedings.
It’s not that these words don’t have meanings. It’s that their meanings have been rendered meaningless. The techniques of advertising have been used to pluck up words that people once felt comfortable with and wrap them around the agendas of the liberal bureaucracy…’

        …and August 1, 2014 will mark 100th year since the Great War that ended about a dozen monarchies in Europe/Russia, and I daresay the reactionary “democratic” socialist regimes that rule the West World are about to go the same way those ancient regimes went after 1917/18.

        The Great Reset, a.k.a. World War III, is on track one and on schedule.

      The Spanish Government “will not allow” and “will not negotiate” on Catalonia’s self-determination vote

      According to the last electoral results and opinion polls, around 80% of Catalans would like a self-determination vote to take place. According to the polls, between 50% and 57% would vote ‘yes’ to independence and between 20% and 25% would vote ‘no’. Besides, the civil society grass-root organisations that are behind the two massive independence demonstrations in 2012 and 2013 – which gathered around 1.5 million people each – announced this evening they were accepting the question the way it was agreed among the Catalan parties. These organisations (ANC, Òmnium Cultural and AMI) had been pressuring to have a clear question like that of Scotland’s referendum. However, they are satisfied since it allows them to directly vote for independence and they announced they will work for the victory of “the double yes”.

        But sooner or later, they will. :smile: Around the time Europe reverts to a collection of warring nation-states–which will be a damn sight better than the fascist dreams of the EUSSR.

    Take newspeak and combine it with paid liberal shills in the media and you have a marriage made in hell-

    We call Ed Shultz’s act the Mr.Ed show since it features a talking Jackass.

    My current favorite is “shareholders”

    shareholder
    ˈʃɛːhəʊldə/
    noun
    noun: shareholder; plural noun: shareholders

    1. an owner of shares in a company.
    2.in politics: A person who has enough free time to complain incessantly about something, usually due to a lack of employment. Alternately: A person who has enough money to hire someone for the sole purposes of complaining incessantly. See “lobbyist”.

    “If we the people are running the small states why should there be war. Only kings and professional politics NEED war.”

    War is what men do. It’s what we as a species do–the first tools man made were weapons and the drives and impulses which lead us to make war are buried deep in our genes.
    A world without war is a foolish dream and a total lack of conflict would, I believe, destroy our species.
    Look around you at the fruits of just half a century of relative ease and security in the West…….
