Sympathizing With Piracy
BY Herschel Smith
1 year ago
The only explanation for allowing this sort of thing to continue is having sympathy for these actions. Piracy isn’t some sort of movie – it’s reckless endangerment, kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, and thievery. The Biblical punishments for these actions is death. Cutting the heads off of pirates and running them up the flag pole might put an end to piracy right quickly.
However, in spite of the wishes of the founders, we have a standing army for purposes of foreign misadventures, and another standing army (police of all sorts) for purposes of violation of foundational constitutional rights at home. The one thing the federal government is tasked with, i.e., protection of the border, it routinely ignores and even laughs at.
And the one reason for a standing army for foreign wars was piracy. Jefferson commissioned the U.S. Marines for such things, but rather than sending a couple of MEUs to handle this problems, we would rather send MEUs out on humanitarian missions across the globe.

Houthis to world. Our Red Sea maritime interdiction has worked so well that we’ll expand it.https://t.co/oZ4S8JNTcz

Your last sentence nails it.
I have experienced a great deal of stress and consternation these last few years. Just coming up with a direction, a bearing, which way is North?! has been a challenge.
I don’t think that is accidental…
But specifically to your statement, up is down, black is white. It is this inversion of everything, that has me leaning towards this stuff being biblical in nature. I can find no other paradigm or way of encapsulating and explaining, in aggregate, what I am seeing. Literally everything good is bad, and what was bad is now good. These aren’t political leanings or beliefs either, we’re talking about dead babies and rejecting the organs growing in your body? Fundamental stuff. I can only understand this level of evil in the context of the devil, and I’m not even particularly religious. But very specifically I have been noticing the inversion of everything, it’s very deliberate.

3 B52’s can bomb an area 1 mile long and 1/2 mile wide. 9 in total would annihilate the launching areas and send a message. Do it twice just to be sure. That’s how you deal with Pirates. Sadly it would take a leader to make this happen and out leadership doesn’t have the Right Stuff.

The Marxist inversion is complete.
National Bolshevism comes after the competency/legitimacy crisis.
Or is it already here?
The best gov that money can buy works for external enemies only on the Long March to the global Soviet.
